What's new everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Metis. I'm joined by Bort, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Showboring Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. Hello. We are also joined by Eric, live from Downey.

He is part of the NFL Podcasting Network. We also have Heavy T, a.k.a. Tyler, who is from the Better Sports Network, and he's coming to us live from Houston, Texas, everybody, in soon-to-be Los Angeles. Right, Tyler? Soon-to-be Los Angeles. I think right now we're at about six weeks away.

Six weeks. Are there any milk mamas you're going to say goodbye to on the way out or what? Nah, bro, I'm just peacing out. They can find me wherever. Irish goodbye and everybody. Oh, wow. What about wow what about lids liz is gonna be crushed uh you know what um the funny thing is my my boss and my district manager are both not happy that i'm leaving but they both understand so but no that'll that'll be the end of lids and i would not be complaining at all whoa whoa are you not transferring yeah Yeah. Are you going to work here? Well, okay. Listen, hear me out. Hear me out. So with my schedule at the

network, I would be working every day from about two to about nine. I'd say roughly about two to nine. Now, Lids- Two in the afternoon until nine at night or- Till nine at night. Yeah. Two in the afternoon until nine at night. Okay. Seven hours. Okay. All right. Yeah. So Lids opens the store at 11. They're going to want like first off, I can go and tell you. I'm like, hey, I can't close ever because I've worked nights at my other job. Yeah.

Second, I can open the store for you guys, but I can only be here like a max of like two hours a day. Okay. So I was just thinking like that makes sense. It doesn't work. Yeah. At that point, I was just like, you know, I'm not even going to bother with it. I'm just going to end up quitting, which I have no problem with. It was a great year and a half run.

I don't have a problem with it. You want to know the reason behind all this? It's because he's moving home and not having to pay rent anymore. That's exactly what it is. He doesn't need to work two jobs. He doesn't need two jobs. He doesn't have to pay rent anymore. This is the same guy who's working how many jobs again, Tyler, right now?

Like four or five just to make ends meet in Houstonston where everything's cheaper no it makes sense i'm not bashing for but that's the main reason you don't have money anymore yeah that's that's that's not it i mean i'm still gonna be working the amazon i'm still gonna be working like the other little side all right what is the master plan for you what is the master plan financially for you moving back home what is the goal when you move back home you're gonna be working your remote worker so you can work wherever you want but what are you gonna do with your money so i mean what i'm gonna be doing with most of my money is honestly just paying off a lot of debt like i just and okay before anybody says anything yes before anybody

says anything yes the truck has been paid off. It was paid off like a year ago. Okay. There's one down. Six more to go. Yeah, right. But on top of that, debt just piles up because life happens. So get myself out of as much debt as I can.

As quickly as you can. As quickly as I can. And then once I do that, the apartment hunting will go on. What got you into debt? You were living singular, like single lifestyle and in cheap-ass Texas, working five jobs.

And you paid off the truck. Yeah, like what are you in debt with? No, just a lot of credit card debt from dumb stuff I mean like you know everybody has credit card debt you know here and not me and like I said man it's just life like I do but I actually have people I support

he's out here he's living the life man and living life yeah living life costs money I guess it does it does yeah and you know you have emergency situations you know come up here and there and you know that's just the way life goes. Guys, guys, look, they towed my car at the apartment again, and I need $600 to bail it out, even though it's my apartment

and even though it's my car. I'm going to spend $150 on beer and hot dogs to Astros game tonight. Come on, guys. There are priorities. You know? All right. Well, Tyler, we'll leave you alone for now but are you sure we did last week we'll leave him alone on that subject for now okay but the thing is uh you know if we're

in six months from now and we see you at like i don't know spending money like crazy then we're gonna get on your ass because then you're taking advantage of your parents. No, no. At that point, you guys have every right to yell at me. Plus, here's the other thing too. Eric brought this up. Like I'm not going to be paying rent. My dad's still going to be charging me obviously not as much, um, as I would be living on my own, but my dad still is going to be charging me some rent and I'm totally fine paying it because I know it helps him cover other bills and stuff like that. So I don't have a problem with it. It's fine. How many people are in your house total when you get back?

So most of the boys have actually moved out. Dude, you're never moving out. You're bunkering down, man. You're about to have full reign. Hold on. No, no, no. Most of the boys. You had sisters we didn't know about?

No, no, no, no. He was a sister. Most of the boys. You had sisters we didn't know about? No, no, no, no. He was a sister. I mean, most of the boys isn't just most. Oh, shut up. I mean, most of the boys just as in most of my brothers. There's one. That's usually how you address it. Yeah.

Yeah. There's one brother that's still there. He is the youngest one, though. He's only 22. So he still has maybe a little bit of time to figure. Are you going back to the bunk bed life? No, no, no. Not doing that that ever again i get the big room are you sharing a room are you sharing a room no i'm actually that's the thing so four of the five brothers have actually moved out um and by the time i get there, I'll basically have a room to myself. Oh dude, he's not moving out. He's not getting out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, want to go back to your place? Nah, sorry. My roommates are home.

See, I got live-in landlords and they're really strict on noise after 9 o'clock. I'm right in the room. My roommates are home. Look, at that point, if we're trying to entertain the ladies, I might lie a little bit here. I see, dude. He's never leaving. He's going to hit me up for

SoFi tickets all the time. And then you're going to see him there, and he's going to have 10 beers that cost $15 each. He's like, oh, thanks, Metis. It's really great of you. And can I get a gift card for this beer? By the way, you got another ticket. I got a Milk Mama that I'm trying to impress.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, stop, stop, stop. No, I'm not to impress. Yeah. Stop. Stop. Stop. I'm not going to buy him beers, but I'm saying he's going to spend all the money on glizzies and beer. Well, the tickets are free, so might as well, right? Yeah, but not the milk mama. She got to pay for herself, obviously. For sure.

She'll have her pay for parking. 100%, bro. I ain't trying to feed the family out here. At that point, I'm going to use Randy for parking. I know he gets free parking at the moment. Okay, here's the deal. Since we're talking about saving money, Grocery Outlet, shout out to Grocery Outlet. I will be there in Long Beach, November 12th from noon to 2 p.m. on Willow Street.

And if you roll through, of course, we'll have a bunch of giveaways. I'm going to try to get some tickets for Alter Ego and through of course we'll have a bunch of giveaways i'm gonna try to get some tickets for alter ego and of course theme park tickets come through that'd be grocery outlet from noon to 2 november 12th that is a saturday event first saturday event in a long time in long beach and i'll be handing out as much diego hot sauce for as I can. And we'll be having a course more giveaways. Like I said, all right. Speaking of food, you want some food news real quick? Oh yeah. The price of turkeys is too damn high. It's up 23%. Great Gory was talking about this actually on the Woody show that it's pretty hard to find some turkeys right now. It's like legal,

a billion dollars. I mean, come on. And they're super expensive. And I wanted to ask you, I know you have a big wedding planned right before Thanksgiving, Eric. Do you have Thanksgiving plans? What's everybody's Thanksgiving plans? Well, the Bills are playing Thanksgiving morning.

So wherever I am, 930 Pacific, the Bills are kicking off. So I will be watching the Bills game that morning. I'm surprised you even thought about it because you have the wedding. You know, I think Thanksgiving this year would be on the back burner. Oh, no, man. You kidding me? That, no. My mom's

just like, well, you planned a wedding there. That's your fault kind of thing. She's like, you better be at my house for Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving still for me is up in the air. I don't even know what's going on. I mean, Nacho has had COVID for the past week. So I'm like living in a different part of the house so we haven't really communicated on anything i'm sorry but you guys have phones you

can text you can call you can talk through you guys really don't communicate oh yeah we facetime like a little bit but i'm like oh i'm in the middle of okay okay so tyler's not even gonna be back for thanksgiving right no so i'll actually be leaving uh california two days before thanksgiving that tuesday oh my god because i'm already asking a week off of lids in the middle of like when people are starting to buy stuff for christmas and everything like that so that was like a week off was already pushing it i didn't want to ask for more plus i do have actually two thanksgivings to go to out here so i gotta of course i gotta figure out how i'm gonna split that up

sometimes i really hate how much you focus on tyler just because i get annoyed yeah but what two thanksgivings who and what would invite you to not only one but two separate thanksgivings so one of them is one of my mom's best friends. Her family lives out here and they were the first people I actually really got to know when I moved out here. So they've invited me for Thanksgiving. So I'm going to go there. And then the other one, some of my friends have moved out here and they're actually putting together a Friendsgiving for a bunch of our mutual friends. Nice. So I'm going to go do that as well. So I'm going to split between the two.

The friends you're bailing on that moved out there to hang out with you and you're just moving away in two months later. Yes, 100% because it's about me and you. Dude, speaking of Friendsgiving, my friends here in Los Angeles, I actually have a lot of San Francisco Bay Area friends that live in LA now and have lived in LA forever.

Dude, I barely get invited to anything anymore because I'm always out of town. I get invited to Friendsgiving this year. What day is it? Eric's wedding. So I had to turn it down again. You got an out either or. If you don't want to go to my wedding, like, sorry, man, got this Friendsgiving. No, no, no definitely i'm i'm hyped for your wedding yeah i got invited to one or i got invited out on saturday have some friends that are from um from denmark and um hey man espin to town heck sick let's hang out with saturday right like oh sweet we'll figure out what we're gonna do yesterday oh we're just gonna do a friends giving and i'm like so just go ahead and bring something potluck style i'm like dude i agreed to like drinks and a night out,

not Friendsgiving on the first Saturday of November. Yeah. It'll be a fun time. It's a good reason to eat, I guess. Well, see, here's the thing, man. Just don't think of it as Friendsgiving. Think of it as a friend's kickback that you're going to and all you bring is alcohol and that's all you're going to enjoy.

Yeah, true. Done. That's true. Leanne cooks for those things like normal. So I was going to pack a Stella's. Now, I'm absolutely not bailing on Eric's wedding. I am going. But I got invited to the Friendsgiving.

And also, I got invited to Joe Coy at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Oh, that same day. The same day. Why did you have to pick the most popular day? You want to know why we picked that day? Because it was available. Like eight months ago, Leon's like, okay, October, November, whatever. And they're like, here's the calendar.

And we're like, okay, we'll take that one because everything. Dude, so we've had a nightmare trying to schedule like a rehearsal. So we're going to end up doing a rehearsal, like a dinner the night before, just dinner. And just doing rehearsing the morning of, which whatever, dude. I don't think you really need to rehearse these things anyways honestly again it's not going to be perfect 100 so you just roll with it yeah yeah so i mean and it's probably better to do a day of anyway so everybody remembers yeah they're not like yeah you know so you're you know um we have an event the night before so we can't a wedding the night before so we can't have you guys come

and do the wedding rehearsal before the first available day is the Tuesday, the week of your wedding. And I'm like, there's a wedding every day that week. And they're like, yeah, only Tuesday is open. And I'm like, wow, it's popping. Yeah, dude, it's wedding season, bro. And you got all these COVID weddings. I got pushed back. It's like our coordinator lady, she's like, this has been the most busy, like six months of my life. Yeah. I'm telling you right now after Eric's wedding, I'm done. No more weddings. No more weddings. You've been to half of the weddings. You've been to half of the weddings

that's been going on six months. If Tyler ever gets married, zooming it. If? If? Well, you know who would be next in line is Randy. Randy's already married. Yeah, but is there any drama? Eric, give us the tea.

You live across from him. Do you hear any yelling? Eric, give us the tea. You live across from him. Do you hear any yelling? No, man. They're the typical young married couple, basically. Yeah, just go to work, go home. Okay, so I have a little cheese, man. A little cheese, man. So just to recap real quick,

Eric, if you're listening to this podcast for the first time, I was actually looking at our analytics and people listen to this podcast from around the world, believe it or not. That's amazing. Randy, who used to work on the Woody show, lives in the same apartment building as Eric and now they both work at the NFL.

So they can see each other from across the apartment building. It's kind of a beautiful bromance that has blossomed from just being friends on this show and then moving in together and then getting new jobs together. It's kind of sweet. If both windows are open at the right angle, I could see directly through my living room

into his living room and into his bathroom. Nice. All right. What's the chisme though? Okay, okay, okay. So the little chisme is that so a few weeks ago, after Eric was gone from the Woody show,

I had to get him some gear and Randyandy his mom lives nearby me so i'm like hey randy uh are you coming by i don't want eric driving from downey i don't want to drive downey you know like you're coming this way can you just be the middle person you know yeah i have something else i can give you so ever since that day this is now the new trading post is randy will stop by place. He'll have stuff for me. I'll have stuff for him and Eric. So we trade off every other week with random items.

Oh, good, because I have stuff for Eric. I get stuff delivered that I'm not even expecting. That I'm not even expecting. Randy's like, hey, I got something for you. I'm like, where'd you get this? He's like, oh, I saw Brett yesterday. I'm like, oh, dope. Cool.

Yeah. Oh, sweet. So now we can transport all the other stuff to Eric via Randy. Nice. It's on Fridays. So normally it's on Fridays because Randy has secret D&D night. All right. He comes and plays D&D down the street.

I thought it was to see his mom. It's his mom and D&D. So Randy was supposed to stop by one night on Friday. I think it was like this past week or the week before one of the two. And Randy hits me up and he's like, hey, I can't make it. I'm sorry. I got to leave. I got to go home right away. I can't make it. I'm sorry. I got to leave. I got to go home right away.

I can't be there. Gio needs me. I need to get home immediately. Okay. Drama. I just went, it's fine, man. I'm literally, oh, it was the weekend of when we were young. And I was like, oh, it's okay, man.

I'm literally sitting here building a model kit. Like, I'm not doing anything. It's fine. No loss. I'm not waiting on you, right? Randy tried to call me. I never saw it. Next thing i know

he hits me up the next day and he goes hey so um sorry i didn't stop by but uh i thought gionia did something important she just needed me to buy her food and bring it home and i i did all right he's like i didn't know until i got there though till he got all the way home till he got all the way home because you know randy he doesn't call anybody or talk to anybody ahead of time he's just like i gotta get there. The worst communicator of life. Yeah. So, I mean, there's the cheesemade that they are the married couple now where she's like,

you got to come home and do this for me. And it's, you know. Got to get food. Got to go get food. Yeah. You're my delivery boy. I mean, then again, he's my delivery boy. He's Eric's.

He kind of evens out. It's his fault for running around everywhere, man. He's up in the valley. He's out in the west side. He's in Inglewood. It's his fault for running around everywhere, man. He's up in the valley. He's out on the west side. Thank God he has a Prius, man. And one more thing, and I love Randy. You guys all know this, but he cannot put down an exact time he's going to be anywhere.

The first few times we did this, I'm like, what time are you going to be here? He's like, oh, I'll be there later. Can't respond to a text. His windows are huge. Dude! Oh my God. So I finally realized it's 11 at night, and then gonna be here he's like oh i'll be there later can't respond to a text his windows are huge dude oh my god so i finally realized it's 11 at night and then it turns into hey are you still coming by 11 it's like i'll be there in 10 minutes which means 45 minutes yeah it's so everywhere he's very much the i'm on my way guy and when you know and you know he's not on his way you know he's still laying back that's what you said that you wouldn't carpool with him. He moves at his own pace. He moves at his own pace, you know?

All right, so I have come to realize that he is the equivalent of the cable guy telling you, oh, I'll be there between like two and six or whatever. It's the exact same thing. And then they show up at eight. Yeah. All right. Well, I was into food news, but then I got into wedding news, Thanksgiving news, and all that kind of stuff. Let's go back to food news.

Real quick, I'll skip all the rest because it's not really that important. But personal food news. Last night, I did try, for the very first time, the new Wingstop chicken sandwiches. I got hot buffalo sauce. Yeah. Certified fire. I'm into it. You can get these chicken sandwiches in every single flavor

that they have so if you want lemon pepper or if you want teriyaki or if you want buffalo like i did you can get in every single kind so i think they're next leveling the chicken sandwich that's pretty dope to have that much variety you could do for a chicken sandwich. Yes. That's kind of amazing. So good. All right. You did mention in our food news the bills. How about them bills? Right, Eric?

Hell yeah, man. Dude, they're killing it. The Packers. Yeah. They are killing it. I mean, it's just a matter of keep it and go. And now at this point. Every time I talk to you, though, about the bills, I think in the past you're like, hell yeah, Bill's smashing it.

They're killing it. And then I talk to you about the bills i think in the past you're like hell yeah bill's smashing it they're killing it and then i talked to you about the bills now you don't want to like jinx it i think because you're not as hyped and and they've been murdering well that's the thing now so i'm i'm turned into the confident bills fan so it's like okay yeah we're doing it we're handling business you know so now i'm not allowed like oh yeah Like I don't go in as worried anymore. So now it's like, all right, I expect them to handle their ish, you know? Yeah. I'm not as pumped. Like, trust me, I get hyped for the games and stuff, but I'm like, all right.

Yeah. We took care of business onto the jets this week. All right. Got the Browns after that. All right. We got, uh, the lions on Thanksgiving. I don't know who that week is. I was going to try to rattle off a couple more, but yeah, you know, they're winning.

So that's it just when they lose, then I'll get probably a little louder little louder you know i'll get pissed off because they shouldn't be losing these games but they handle business well i looked at the packers that's good i looked at the next chargers game and they're playing the falcons and i don't even know if uh tyler is still a falcons fan but i am i just i expect the worst this is how life is. The Falcons are first place in the vision. Shut up. They're first place, but it's like an ugly first. But it's four and four. That's a playoff, dude.

I mean, don't get me wrong. Yeah, it's a playoff berth. But like there's just certain things with that team. Like I'm just like you should not be starting Mariota. I need I need Ritter to start. Only Tyler. It looks like a liar. Find a way to make a playoff berth in first place. A negative. Yeah, when his team is

crap, I mean, you got a game lead on the next second place team and this division sucks ass like you. I mean, look, don't get me wrong. See Tom Brady literally crumble right before my eyes is a blessing. Yeah, but at time, ah, man, it's, I think at this point, I think maybe I'm just setting myself up for the inevitable failure. So I'm just not surprised at this point. Because let's say, if they do make it to the playoffs, let's say they make it

at, well, at this, because there's no even weeks anymore, it'd be either 7-9 or 9-7 is like the worst record you could have to get in. So let's just say they make it in at 7 and nine i'm like all right cool we made it the playoffs it's better than i thought we were gonna do we're gonna get shellacked by they might be like 10 wins shellacked chargers panthers bears commanders steelers saints ravens cardinals bucks those are all very winnable outside of like the ravens yeah true, true. But Marcus Mariota is throwing about five passes a game.

And they won four. What's the problem? Your first place. I don't know, man. It's one of those too good to be true type of things. All right. Do you know what I did do is I looked up tickets for the Falcons. I'm like, oh, is anybody going to any Falcons games

and how much they cost? And so every time we go to a chargers game we're put in like this staff seating area okay but if you wanted to sit in the same area as us the ticket per ticket is usually about 680 dollars damn right yeah damn for the same area where the Falcons play in Atlanta, the ticket, $120. Yep. I'm looking at it right now. That's too expensive.

$30 will get you in. $30? That's way too expensive. $30 will get you in, yeah. That's for sadomasochists that want to spend $100-something just to be tortured and see their hopes and dreams crush. It's dope. I love Los Angeles, but sometimes it sucks, man.

That's why I've never been to a Lakers game. I hate basketball too, but yeah, same. Here's the thing I've noticed about the Atlanta sports fan base at least is that they are very similar to the LA fan

base in this retrospect. If you absolutely suck, no one's going and that goes for all three of those sports i mean there are some cities out there i guess boston is a really good example where the yeah where the team could be awful but people still sell out the games just because that's what they do no atlanta is one of those places in this country where if the team is awful well we can find plenty of other things to do and we just won't go. How's Houston doing in the World Series?

I haven't been really following. They got bitch smacked last night, didn't they? Didn't they? They did get bitch smacked. Yeah, they did, didn't they? They got bitch slapped last night. It was home run derby, right? Yeah, it is. Yeah, pretty much.

Lance McCullers Jr., the Astros pitcher, set a record. Most home runs given up by one pitcher in a World Series. He gave up five. Oh, they're doing great. Gave up five. But he was just chunking meatballs down the middle. I mean, like, dude, like average players.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that, you know, they're not great in their own way because they obviously made it to the major leagues. But Brandon Marsh, one of the Phillies outfielders, he's an ex-angel, so I know him pretty well as far as like from a fan standpoint even this dude is mashing a home run in the middle of the world series i'm like brandon marsh is not a good offensive player so if he's mashing homers yeah dude like i said mccullers is just throwing

meatballs down the middle so what's the vibe in houston right now so you have the astros losing and then takeoff murdered in your hometown what's the vibe dude so that that was a trip that was all anybody was talking about yesterday like they knew they had the world series later that night but everybody's like holy hell like takeoff was just killed like you know here in houston and i looked up where the place was it's not a bad area the house of blues for houston was right across the street like it's a pretty safe area yeah it was a private rolling with the yeah it was a yeah exactly yeah he was just rolling from the rumors i've heard he's just rolling with the wrong people and that's just the easiest way to say

and then i heard another then i yeah and it's over a dice game too which kind of pissed me off it's like bro like from all the reports that i've read all the rumors of people at the party and they're showing screenshots of text messages of people at the party that he might have accidentally been shot by one of his own guys so there was a little bit what i'm here there was that little fight with quavo and some other guy takeoff was in the background somewhere. And one of their friends pulled out a gun, didn't really know how to handle it too well. And then accidentally shot him. I saw the video of when the shots rang out. It's, it's pretty bad. Yeah. And like, like I said, it was not in a bad area. I mean, this thing was down the street from Toyota center where the rockets play.

I've driven past this place multiple times, about a mile and a half from where the Astros play at Minute Maid. It's right in the middle of downtown. Yeah, it's not like somebody showed up to rob them. From the rumors I've read, they were involved in this dice game with like mob type people. I'm like, bro, those are not the people you should be messing with. I don't care who you are. Well, the party was supposed to end

at one and they stayed until 2.30 and I was just talking about this on the air the other day. And this is a word of advice for any young people that are listening. If you're going to clubs or bars and stuff like that, it's okay to go home at 1. It's okay to leave the bar at 1. It's okay to be home by 1. Because I'm telling you, there's some weird thing after being in nightclubs the past 20 years once you start

getting into that 1 30 2 o'clock 2 30 time bad things happen 100 sure i remember um i used to be a really big fan of how i met your mother when that show was on tv and what no one of the lines he said in the movie or in the show is i know always go home before two o'clock because nothing bad or nothing good ever happens after two and it rings true because like i i didn't go out but one of my friends did and they left about 145 and as they were walking out like this girl got jumped by like three other girls in the bathroom of the bar they were at and i'm just like oh hell no dude like that stuff happens towards 2 o'clock. How I Met Your Mother left the rapper getting shot

scene out of that episode, actually. So that was, yeah. Or you guys could just do what I do. If you stay past 2, just have Randy pick you up. And buy him 7-Eleven on the way home. That's it. Oh, no. You guys want to get into some tech news? Yo.

I wonder where this is going what do you mean is it what i was texting about last night i mean yeah oh yeah i bet it could be that one it could be the new king bird i'm like it could go it's all it's all incorporated of course elon musk bought twitter that's everybody's talking about and then for some reason and it wasn't even uh because of twitter i don't know i was like just randomly going through like you know stocks that i own and um i haven't owned really any bitcoin type things for a while and i was like do you know what i'm gonna buy some dogecoin i'm in doge and you know what this is uh this is not financial advice at all zero just fyi so i was like oh i'm just gonna buy some doge coin and then out of nowhere people started putting

two to two together like oh maybe elon musk because he's a big doge fan he might incorporate doge coin into twitter and then he starts tweeting about it so it automatically just doubles right away I don't want to know are you still in the doge game I think Eric you're the really the only one here that was in it are you still in me yeah I mean I was in it just because I bought into it and I did so I'm in the hole so I'm like oh man and nobody forces you to sell out of this stuff so I'm like eventually it's going to go up I mean or else I mean yeah yeah I'm just going to sit on it that's what I've done with a lot of this stuff i mean um i'm still sitting on some amc from when that dipped you know eventually it'll go back up but yeah i have

some doge i got some doge to the moon left in me yeah i don't know it i think all this stuff is creeping back up even though the economy is pretty bad i don't know people are looking for uh get rich quick schemes this thing might like shoot up again and then crash yeah i mean and there's probably a bunch of you know little the um like blockades for how it went down the first time when during the pandemic and stuff but it'll probably go back up and you know once i'm out of my hole once i get even and maybe i'll dip out of it just so i'm not you know eating a bunch of change but yeah you know elon the way elon musk is what elon musk says goes in a lot of ways because there's a lot of change. The way Elon Musk is...

What Elon Musk says goes in a lot of ways because there's a lot of dummies following him to the letter of the word. But me and you will be on the sides picking up the scraps, trying to make some money. I know. I'm going to try.

But this is, again, not advice to buy Dogecoin. I just thought it was really interesting. I love the fact that everybody's freaking out over the check mark on Twitter. Oh, yeah. Because initially it was really interesting. I love the fact that everybody's freaking out over the check mark on Twitter. Oh, yeah. Because initially he was talking about how it was going to be $20 a month.

And I'm like, oh, crap. I don't want to pay for that. And then he dropped it down to $8 because the writer. Oh, Stephen King. Stephen King was complaining about the $20, even though he's a billionaire. And then Elon Musk said, okay, $8.

Well, okay, so I don't know about Doge, but if you're looking at Twitter, right? Twitter now has the option that you could subscribe to people's feeds. You could do a super follow, right, where you get premium content. Yeah, exactly. So if you're thinking, if you're Elon Musk and you're going, okay, all these people with verified checks are now going to get money. content yeah exactly so if you're thinking if you if you're elon musk you're going okay all these people with verified checks are now going to get money it's not saying this is who i am anymore he's expecting all these people to do super follows and get money and get some kind of

rev share on that right exactly but this is your eight dollar verification that you are who you are per month and we know you're going to make more than that back in the super super follows so it's not that bad if anything if you're paying money and you're verified you better actually have some premium content for people out there if you're not you're not doing it right so i've had a verified account i don't know over 10 years now and the the only difference is you know when you do the at replies yeah and you can filter it right you can filter it so when i like try to tweet a famous person and i have a verified account they have like a separate feed where they only see people tweeting them that have verified accounts right so let's say they're

mega famous and they'll get like 400 tweets in a row adding them. They also had that filter where maybe only three people with a verified account, most likely they will see the tweet if I tweet them. That's how The Rock wished me happy birthday that one year. Right. It's because I tweeted under a verified account, and it showed up at the top of his feed. Right. So I think that was the only most important part of it as a verified account,

and that's why I would keep 20 i was kind of thinking about it i'm like 20 bucks am i getting movies and music for this you know oh you might be you never know i don't know maybe eventually but i was like oh that's a twitter stock out of it or something like some shares at the end way too much because then also we have the woody show account and i go i'm not gonna pay for that i'm gonna figure out a way the company pays for it oh yeah come on man they'll pay for all that stuff obviously for sure there's a line i forget what movie it is it's like when everyone's super no one is it's like when everyone's verified it's not really any anything special anymore so it's like then you're

paying eight dollars just to be another check mark i'm gonna not pay that i'm gonna be the special one by not being verified how's that oh, think of all the bots that'll be verified from now on, man. Oh, yeah, so they can spam everybody. Yeah. It's going to get so annoying, man. I might quit Twitter just because I don't want to deal with it. Oh, no.

Just do what I do. Just unmute everybody and filter everything. You're fine. I'm way better at Twitter, too, than Instagram. I know. Twitter's made for you.

And it's made for sports. It's made for news. It's made for sports. It's made for news. Snarky remarks. Puns. It's crazy. Insulting Tyler. Insulting me. I still have Tyler muted. That's fair though. Okay, so you might quit Twitter.

Have you quit the gym? Are you too busy for the gym these days, Eric? The gym? Are you gymming every day? I was at the gym an hour and a half, two hours ago. I go every morning. For some reason, did you block me on the Apple Watch? You're the one with like eight, you've probably had eight new Apple Watches since the last

time I got a notification from you, so it's probably your fault. Oh, wow. Yeah, your green ring is already closed. You already got your steps in for the day. I go to the gym every morning at 5 a.m. Damn. That's why if you ever look at our group chat, Menace, Eric the day. I go to the gym every morning at 5 a.m. Yeah. Damn. That's why if you ever look at our group chat, Menace, Eric is up and actually responding to the West DeFa group chat like super early in the morning.

It's funny because people at the NFL are like, oh, you go to the gym after work? I'm like, no, I go before work. They're like, what? What? I'm like, yeah, I wake up 4.30. I'm at the gym at 5. I'm like, wait, 4.30?

I'm like, you guys don't understand. Like, that's extra sleep. I'm like, that's two and a half hours more than what i was getting before you know like 4 30 is i'm dude leanne hates it oh my god she hates it because my alarm goes off right and i'm up out of bed out like instantly right and i'm like running around the the the apartment getting ready putting my clothes on making our like proteins and blah blah blah talk trying to talk to her turning lights on and she's just looking at me like shut the f up like the woody show has like calloused me to early mornings so like yeah my alarm goes off i'm like up i'm awake i'm ready let's talk let's do things i'm ready to go and she's like just staggering

around the apartment she's like you need to stop talking another 15 minutes yeah so the woody show has hardened me to morning zoo and it's early morning jams i love it nice that's an interesting perspective eric especially with the um you know the people that have left the show stayed on the show you are someone who has left the show working these early hours kind of stuck to it yeah Yeah. Definitely not Randy. Yeah, no. No, not Randy. Or Tyler.

Well, I mean, Tyler didn't sleep ever. Anyways, we know that. But, like, would that actually affect someone like Menace? And you would be stuck waking up early hours after that? Oh, I guarantee you guys would. Even before, like, because I had about a three-week, like, like a three-week gray area where I wasn't going to the the gym i was just trying to get in a routine for the nfl every morning at that like those three weeks i was rolling over at like about three o'clock my body

was like yo why aren't you up and like days off i'm rolling over at 4 a.m it's like you i you guys have been in it way longer than me yeah you know You know, so I guarantee you guys would have like a, you'd probably eventually run out of it. But that very brief time, maybe even a little longer, like you guys would be rolling over about 3 a.m. I bet you guys do it on your days off. Saturday, Sundays, on a day off, your vacation. I bet you're still rolling over.

Even if you don't get up, like you probably have a rollover, go to the bathroom at 2 a.m., 2.30. Your body's like, yo, why aren't you awake? No, no, no, no, no. I figured that out. So here's what I do. I switched back to being a normal person, and I stay up drinking all night past the time I'm supposed to be waking up for work.

So no matter what, I go to sleep and wake up. Yeah. It's right after work. It's fine. That's how you defeat it. You just start drinking like a normal person. Easy. Done.

Very easy. Easy. Done. Very easy. Easy. Well, Eric, you would be happy to know that I actually have to walk, at least walk, two miles a day every day this month for Movember. Nice. As part of the Movember campaign. This year, I don't actually have to shave. I actually have to do some mobility. Okay.

So are you tracking this? Are you going to record it? Yes, I'm tracking it. I have my watch so you can verify that I did do my two miles a day. And I'm telling you, going from zero to two miles, just two miles is rough. Oh, it's a lot. It's rough.

And it's crazy because during the pandemic, going hammer on the Peloton, no right and then yeah you know we were back in things we're traveling constantly and eating right and so and not moving and just sleeping that two miles man i did the first one whoo i was way in i was barely hanging on no i have not weighed in dude you should weigh in and then see if it does anything. I guarantee you'll drop some pounds. Hopefully. It's insane what a little bit of movement, a little bit of stretching.

Randy and Tyler did this for like about a week because they were like, I told them, do a little bit of yoga. And people were like, oh, you pussy, yoga, yoga, yoga. Dude, if you want to call it stretching, call it stretching. Just do a little bit of it. And they both did it for a couple days like wow man you're right i feel like i feel good yeah my movement movement and just basic stretching go so far because i remember when i was going hammer for two years during the pandemic on peloton i had so much energy i was never taking naps during the day ever. And I was perfectly fine.

But now I'm just like, I'm napping all the time and I'm waking up still super tired. Yeah, feel a little lethargic. Yeah, so I think this is going to be good for me. Yeah, burning energy actually gives you more energy, man. So like I've been trying to do the same where I'm doing like two miles a day. And I got to like this one day and Shasta was off

and she's like hey i want to do this i'm like that's two more miles we can do four miles let's do four miles today let's see how we keep going yeah the other night for halloween man we just ended up walking around like the neighborhood we walked around for two and a half hours man it was like six seven miles that first week was just like how am i doing this but afterwards you're like i can keep going dude i did this as like a kid and a teenager all the freaking time man yeah and you do feel it you'll start feeling it you'll start showing it and if you do weigh in like eric said man you're gonna see like a dip uh i gotta wrap this up thank you so much for listening to the podcast again

Menace just had to dip out real quick. But first, before we go, Eric, do you have anything you have to say? Go Bills. Tyler, do you have anything to say to piggyback off of Eric?

Always looking for a handout. Always looking for a handout. Speaking of which, Tyler, how's that birthday gift card for Menace off your winnings? I have not given it yet. I was going to give it to him in person when I see him at the wedding. So we will wait on that. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. He did tell me he did love the snacks from Bucky. So that is good.

I did see him enjoy the snacks from Bucky's. Yes. Did you also get Randy a mug from Bucky's? Was that you? Yes. So whenever I go to Bucky's, Randy puts in a specific order for me to pick up stuff and ship it off to him and he venmo's me. So yes, I did get him a Bucky and he did send me a picture of the stuffed Bucky beavers that I got him wearing a tinfoil hat. So that was kind of cool. He sent me a picture of that Bucky's beaver thing and it said bitch on it and i was like well that was mean eric i wonder how many of the packages that show up to randy's house are actually just from tyler bucky's now i know right i'm gonna start siphoning them taking them since i've moved out here this is the third or fourth care package I've sent him.

I don't even mail like four things in a year sometimes. I mean, you know, it's pretty easy when you got to go to the post office all the time. You're just like, screw it. Might as well. I'm already doing this. I guess the only thing I have to say is I had a slight heart attack the other day, guys. Oh, no. It's during COVID.
