Episode Date: August 16, 2025

This week we talk Morning Slurpees, OC Fair Food, Driverless Cars, Web 2.0 & More! 

What's new, what's new with Menace What's up everybody And welcome to another edition of What's New Pod I'm Mennis. I'm joined by Bort, a.k. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show boring show that you can hear across United States and around the world on the Woody Show podcast.

Today we are joined by our friends like Eric coming to us live from Downey, California and our friend Tyler in Whittier, California. And Julianne, coming to us, live from a daycare located somewhere in America. Hardy, har, heart. I'm happy that everybody's here today. Randy cannot join us today.

So RIP Randy. But I do want to bring up that, you know what, I've had a lot of interactions with Tyler lately here working on the Woody show. And that has been my complaint and that I have not had any interactions with him. And then I complained that I did. and now I'm, you know, I'm 50-50. I'm kind of enjoying it now and kind of irritated at the same time. Sounds like any person who's ever interacted with Tyler.

Some days, it's like, eh, most days it's like, hell no. Some days, like, eh. You know what? Kind of fun. But we've been getting Tyler on the air lately on the Woody Show. And Eric, you know, he loves that. And the latest thing that he shared with us, which I thought was personally hilarious, that we found out that Tyler drinks slurpees at 2 a.m.

before he comes to work. I didn't know morning slurpees were a thing, but apparently Tyler thinks not a big deal. Morning slurpees could actually be pretty fun, but Tyler's not getting the good ones now. They're delicious, dude. They are pretty fun. So this is strictly a summer thing because it's muggy outside at like one in the morning. I'm just like, I'm not feeling it. So I'm seeing it as like, okay, this is a decent little like caffeine pick me up.

And I'd much and I'd much rather. And I'd much rather do that as opposed to just energy drinks because I know when I drink energy drinks, I just crash. Well, I have found out something that apparently Coke Slurpee's have no caffeine in it. So I'm doing this for no reason. You're an idiot. I had no way. I take back the air horns for him. Air horns for air.

I did not know that they had no caffeine in it. But you know what? They still taste delicious. It has sugar. Sammy and I were like... They have slurpees that early in the morning because I'm telling you, I don't even look in that direction if I'm going to a convenience store to even think that they would even be on. It wouldn't be like a go-to thing for me to even think to get a slurpee. Yeah, I haven't gotten that deep into a 7-Eleven in years.

Like I don't make it past like the first like wherever the Gatorade is and if I'm in a pinch like a tallboy. That back corner where it's like the like the pastries and the coffee machine and the sleeper machine, no. No. I mean, I know. but that's uh that was my usual hey i have to sober up and start getting my ass home place with 7-11 so it was two three in the morning what can i eat here to sober up and oh it's the slurping machines right there did i ever get it no no that's the fun part of tyler being on the air now eric i want you to join in on me with this okay the reason i say the fun part of having tyler on there because i do think

tyler is a character i feel that he is really funny he has awesome stories to share so why not incorporating them on the Woody show and we can. But sometimes you kind of regret it, you know? I was around for one of the original regrets. Yeah. I was still in that studio with you guys. And today I kind of regretted it, but it wasn't me bringing up Tyler first. It was Woody bringing up Tyler first.

And he starts talking about the Falcons because apparently one of the, what, the quarterbacks, he was on television. So, yeah, if you didn't see it, Michael Pennix, Jr, the Falcons quarterback, he was on TV. and whatever local news station was showing it accidentally spelled his name wrong, putting it with an S, making it say penis instead of penics. Yeah. So Woody brings up, oh, that's Tyler's team, blah, blah, blah. And to elaborate on it to make it funnier and to incorporate Tyler, I go, oh, I thought Tyler gave up on that team because he's always complaining on how

much they suck and he's going to jump ship, right? Tyler gets on the mic and he goes, oh, no, I'm not. jumping ship. He's a lifer with the Falcons, blah, blah, blah. Well, what other team would you go to? And he goes, I wouldn't go to any other team. Not even on topic. He starts bringing up, I'm a fan of the Dodgers. I'm a fan of blah, blah, blah, hockey team. That wasn't even on topic. We weren't even talking about baseball or hockey and crap like that. We were talking about football. And he couldn't even answer the stupid question. What other team would you support if you didn't support the Falcons? Let me defend myself. I didn't

didn't hear that part and I say that because I am typing up something for the show that I sent as an email later. All I heard was the speakers in the studio go silent and that's when I know the mic is hot because he was working so hard. Oh, that's it. Sorry, my only flaw is that I'm a perfectionist and I just work really hard and care too much about my job. I was sorry that I was in the middle of working something. The speakers went silent and when the speakers go silent, all I can here is what's coming out of the headphones, and I kept it a little bit low, so I didn't exactly hear that this was only

the football thing. That's on me. That's my bad. What other team would you support other than the Falcons? You know, like I said, which I believe we talked about all the stupid podcast multiple times. Well, you know Menace, it is funny that you bring this up because I don't know if you guys

saw Tyler's social media from today. Or was it yesterday? One of the two. He posted a picture of his desk area in the office, which he just added a couple of decorations, didn't you, Tyler? Yes, brats. Oh, I remember this now. Actually, now you say this.

I have not seen this. I have no idea what you're talking about. There's a falcons helmet, which he's a lifer. Right? Right, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what's that, Eric? What do you see? The strange logo next to the, that's because it's a falcons helmet. He's a lifer.

He's told everybody, like, but no other team, right? He wouldn't consider any other team. No. Okay. The second football helmet. It's not the Falcons logo. What? It's just like an NFL helmet, logo or something? No.

What? Is that a Houston Oilers? That's literally on... Technically, the Tennessee Titans now? That's on a desk that is next to Woody's in the morning sitting there. Okay. Because he's H-Town versus everybody, baby. You know what?

You know, while we're here, while we're here about Tyler's fandom, I wasn't going to do this. The Dodgers for the first time. time ever, lost seven in a row to the Angels. First time ever, swept a season. Whatever. My condolences. Sit down, please. What's new this year?

That's never been done before. This has never happened in Dodgers history to be swept by the Angels all season. Never, ever, ever. What's different this year, supposedly, compared to all these years in the past? Did they get a new pitcher? Yeah, they had bad players? Catcher. for sure.

I mean, they didn't get this amazing hitter who's been doing a fantastic job even in the, you know, midst of bad play. A new so-called fan cursing his team. Bringing a dark cloud over Otani. First time ever it's happened. Dude, there is like a deep, deep, deep, deep down that there's a part of me that enjoys the fact that the angels had this success against the Dodgers this year. And he cannot enjoy it or relish in it or post about it. Has he not shouted it out at all? He's not, and I love it so much.

So, like, there's a little part of me that's enjoying this, this crappy Dodger run just because Tyler can't enjoy the angels beating up on the Dodgers for the first time of his life. It's not. How mad were you when Otani struck out Trout? Did you smash something? No, I wasn't. It was a great callback to the World Baseball Classic, dude.

That's all it was. Now, see, you want something, you want this to be a thing, dude? It's not a thing. Like, I'm not going back. You're stuck with me forever, okay? Let's talk about some football. ball where we can all agree on. Do you think this amazing kick done by Cam Little on the Jaguars,

70 yards should be counted at all as the longest field goal kick in NFL history? Apparently it doesn't because it was done in preseason. Let me let the history buff answer because he just cares about history so much. No, it doesn't count. How's it not count? What do you mean? How does it not count? It's preseason.

None of these games count. It's an NFL game, dude. I think it should count. practice games count. They're an exhibition game. The same thing. Like if someone was to throw like a no hitter in spring training, it doesn't count. When I bought my ticket to go to that game, did it say the NFL on it? It says NFL and then it specifically says preseasoned it. I think that kick should count. I'm just throwing it out there. You know what? Congrats to him for doing it. If anything, it helps him make the team, but no, it does not count. It technically counts

because whenever it's anything close or similar gets done, there's video evidence. It will be played on TV rest of time. It might not be in the record books, but it'll count because there's video evidence. So anytime somebody hits close to 70, it'll be like, oh, look, a Cam Little in the preseason. All right, good. All right. Let's talk about something else fun, too. Totally forgot about it, but you guys went to War Tour.

Did you enjoy your time there? Yeah, it was a blast. I loved it. A lot of people were complaining about it being sold or oversold, but music festival, deal with it. Who'd you like? I went only on Saturday, so it was like a day to remember, sublime, slaughtered to prevail. You know, bounced around a lot. aquabats aquabats are fun yeah aquabats are cool however it was extremely hot and i say that

because the sunscreen that i brought was spf 30 that did not help not all when he showed up to work that monday he was a freaking lobster man dude no this is the thing man you're like you you you i mean we're at the same festival it wasn't that bad you find spots that aren't in the sun that you're not getting roasted like this the weather was great it was a breeze The sun was setting behind us most of the day. You were just standing in the crowd for hours and hours at a time, like a dummy. I mean, yeah, that's what it was. Dude, when I say I got absolutely cooked, I got, it looked like I touched the surface of the sun.

Yeah. It was so bad. Oh, like got a little sun, did you? Yeah, got a little sun and I know I showed, I know I sent somebody guys a picture. I had such a bad sunburn that my neck was just beat red and where my chain was, around my neck just there's one pure white line just going all the way around my neck dude it was so bad now another event that has been going on we've all gone separately julian i saw that you had a big ass turkey leg at oc fair did you enjoy yourself what did you do did you go to the pig

races at all because the pig races are fun hold on i would say just try giving it a refresh just see what happens. Psychical expert. Tyler, chiming in. Right. Try to you. You just maybe hit a refresh. Can you hear me now?

Oh, look at that. It worked. Go suck my d'clock. Wow. It was just so funny how, like, you just try to, like, slide that in there. Maybe a refresh of work, I don't know. Juliet, I'm an expert.

Okay. Sorry, Julianne. Apparently, we're wondering why you weren't talking the whole time, but. I don't know. I mean, I was laughing at you guys. Oh, damn. I was trying to chime in.

I was like, oh, okay, I guess they don't want to hear from me. So I'm just to be quiet until they say my name. I'm sorry. Literally underneath your name, it said muted. I was like, oh, maybe her kid's crying. Maybe she had to go do something. No, because when I mute, like I mute it manually on the board, not on the screen. So I don't know what happened.

Super quick recaps. What do you think about surpies in the morning? Well, I did say, hey, are you at least adding some protein? or creatine and that bad point. What do you think about him not being able to come up with a different team other than the Falcons? I was going to say. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because sometimes when you are working, like you don't really pay attention to like what Woody is saying sometimes.

And then like when they say your name, you're like, oh sorry, they were talking to me the whole time. And then you try to like try to remember or try to think back to what you think he said. So sometimes you answer it wrong or you don't answer it correctly at all. So I get it, Tyler. You're welcome. I get it, Tyler. So yes, I was trying to say that too.

But again, I thought you guys didn't want to hear me. Except here's the thing. Normally I would defend Tyler in that situation. I know we're already past this, but normally I would defend Tyler if he couldn't hear. I was not in the room to see what he was doing. And every once in a while, I'm not in the room. And I know he's just talking up the other people in the room being big time Tyler, sharing his life experiences

and what he would do with sports and radio. Wow. So. Yeah. Okay. Did you also get the part where when you introduced me

and you said I was at a daycare? Yeah, that's all I got the whole time. That's it. And after that, you were dead ass silent. All right. We got you now.

So you went to the fair. You got a big ass turkey leg. What else did you do at the fair? I did. So I sent my. three-year-old to go watch the pig races with my stepdad but I did oh my gosh I saw the little itty-bitty tiny newborn piglets yeah they were so cute little sausages I wanted to eat them yeah they were so cute sorry Tyler I mean not Tyler sorry what okay speaking of tiny

sausage sorry for and yeah I had turkey lates I had I had bacon wrapped jalapenoes, fries, I don't know, I had, that's about it. Oh, and I had beer, Helkeleberry in honor of Tyler. That's about it. Just walked around, went to the expos and stuff like that. So it was kind of cool, fun. And it was a perfect day to go. It was just the perfect weather.

I think it was like 80 degrees, unlike over here in Covina. I think it was like 90. Yeah, it was a good day. So you went on the same day, right, Brett? Yeah, I went on the same day. I ended up getting there much later than I expected later on the day. We had a busy-ass day that Friday, so I didn't show up until late. But, yeah, man, it was fun.

It was a good day at the fair. I saw a Dead Man's Party, the best Oingo Boingo-Bungo cover band. I just kind of like looking at the animals. I just want to visit them. I kind of feel sad a little bit as I see them, because, you know. Did you see the peacock? No, I didn't. I saw the bird cage that had, like, parents that would land all over you and stuff.

Oh, I didn't see that. And then tons of sheep, cows. I saw the bison, like the big horn bison and stuff. the baby piglets were super adorable. The chickens were dope. Like the chicken coop was cool. I saw that. The only thing that I got that was very fair-like,

besides like pizza and soda and stuff and beer, was a deep fried gonsito. Oh, yeah. A deep-fried what? A deep-fried gonsito. And pretty much like a vanilla twinkie with chocolate on the outside with some white cream and some raspberry soup.

syrup on the inside as well. It is the most delicious, like, hostess, little Debbie, anything you want, any of those is the most delicious of all of them. I don't like any treats that are cream filled. Disagree with you, but... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I also have a joke.

That's a big, giant sausage treat. I will say, it was the one thing that stood out to me. I love gancitos, but to have a deep fried one, it was the most diabetes-ridden artery-clogging thing I've ever had in my life, and I loved every second of it. Now, Eric, have you made it to the O.C. Fair yet? I have not. Okay. You still have time. Now,

for sure, I've been informed that Tyler has gone and he consumed quite a bit of food while he was there, at least on his Instagram story. Is that true or not true? Yes, I did. So I went with two friends of mine and we went in saying, hey, we're going to taste test a lot of stuff. And we're also going to split it. This is how you don't get full. Like, we just take a couple bites of everything okay and we're just gonna split it with each other so we ended up trying about 10 different things which yeah for those who varies a lot yeah so but so this is uh we had the tri-tip sandwich that was pretty good we had a bacon cheddar pretzel that was pretty good i passed on this one but uh deep fried bacon wrapped pickle was had not doing that because pickles suck

You're so weird. I hate pickles, dude. We know this. Moving on. Meatball mozzarella stick. So it's basically on a stick and then deep fried the way a corn dog is. That was pretty good. See, we had a giant baked potato.

It's a baked potato. So you already know it's going to be bomb. I was tempted on the big potato. But the baked potato was like $20 something dollars. And I'm like, I could go get something else. Yeah. Like, I get that. But it's like, you know, we're all splitting it.

Like, it's fine. You know, whatever. Then we got to the dessert part. We had deep fried Oreo with the Dubai chocolate drizzle. Going to be honest, I don't get the Dubai hype. I don't get it. We had the deep fried Reese's cup. That was decent.

Oh, yeah. And then, of course, like Brett, we had the deep fried gonsito as well because he texted me that the day before and I'm like, yeah, I'm going to have to try that. Now, there is one thing that I also had, and I wanted to save this till last. We were walking around. I just happened to see a banner saying that this place had this. And I was like, this is so wild. I have to try it.

A double cheeseburger with two Twinkies and a bun covered in hot Cheeto dust. What? What? Oh my God. Because the only version of this I've ever seen

is the burger with the two donuts. Yeah. So insane. That's originally what I was looking for and I'm sending you guys the picture right now. What I was originally looking for was definitely the crispy cream

donuts that were used as like buns for a burger. But before I found it, I found this and I was like, okay, forget that burger. Now that's fair food, dude. I don't want to go to the fair and see some crap that I can get on the street anywhere else. Do you eat it with a fork? How do you

lift it? Oh no. He lifted it. Oh, he lifted it. Wow. Hold on one second. Oh, I bet it's so hot. Dude, just glide into your mouth. Nice cream-filled meat going into that, buddy I love the deep-fried Snickers I did not see it last time I was there

I didn't see that either I was there like an hour actually the booth that had the deep-fried Snickers also had the deep-fried Goncito and had a hoodie show What's New Pod listener Who was running the booth That's awesome

Told me how much she really enjoys the podcast every week Really cool Thank you for listening I missed all these social media posts because I was in Austin, Texas for a radio convention. It's called morning show boot camp. It's morning show people also just, you know, everyday radio people who have other positions in radio.

And it's kind of like just a huge, I would say class reunion. You see a lot of people that you worked with over your career. You kind of like what we do, we think no one's really paying attention in the industry, right? No one cares what we're doing. We just kind of go to our job. And we do appreciate all our listeners.

But sometimes, you know, you kind of want to be recognized by your peers, which the Woody Show never is. Yeah. But going to this convention, it was kind of cool because a lot of people brought up things that we do or things that I've done previous to the Woody show. And they go, remember when you did this or he did that? And they talked about the early days of social media and things that I've done. It made me feel really good.

I'm like, oh, crap. Like, these people were really painting. attention. And I don't know if people saw that throwback video that I did, but there was this time period that they talked about a lot of the early days of, um, it's called web 2.0. And this is when like Justin.tv was taking off, which is now Twitch and they changed the game of video streaming. YouTube was popping. Twitter was just happening and Facebook and Instagram and things like that. And I have like years of footage from this time period, which I think is the best time because it's before people got super political online or fighting with each other constantly it was just about like hey

i'm having fun i'm at warped tour i'm at this cool event and i'm just sharing what i see on these social media platforms so that's what i did i kind of strung a lot of things together right posted this video did you guys see it did you enjoy my hairstyle from 2008 yeah yeah you're so email i loved it yeah it was it was a really fun time and Did you wear studded belts? No, I didn't. I didn't wear studded belts. Hey.

No, I should have, though. You should have, yeah. But I think I'm going to share a lot of that because I was going through my hard drive and had such cool footage of that time period. And people seem to enjoy it. So I'm sorry that I missed everything that was happening. But, dude, while I was in Austin, I found a new addiction. And it's called Waymo, guys. Did you like all my Waymo photos?

Oh, my God. Yeah. Damn, that would scare me. It looks so sketchy. Dude, it was the best. So it's driverless cars. And in Austin, now here in Los Angeles, you have to get a Waymo app. And they don't service the entire Los Angeles area, only certain parts.

So where I live in L.A., you can't use it. They can't blame them. But in Austin, you can use it through the Uber app. Nice. Right? Dude, it was so much fun. So when you walk up to the car, you unlock the car with the app, you sit down, you buckle in, And then there's a little screen.

It says start ride. And then you just start the ride. And then it asks you all these different things. Do you want this type of music? Do you want the air conditioning? What do you want? You can just control it? And then it's just steering its own way.

You guys thought it was sketchy the whole time. The videos people can watch the video right now at Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E. What happens if something like goes in front of the car, like last second? It stops. It just, it does. Like it slams on its brakes. Yes. it has okay

do you trust humans that are texting and driving or do you trust anybody or do you trust a driverless car that has like 40 different cameras that are watching the road neither I trust either but I mean if you take Uber so I guess people more I don't know Eric you thought I'm not used to it

you said it was sketchy what do you think I mean it's not that I don't trust it like I would definitely get in one but it just looks weird it just looks way off somebody's gonna get pop for doing something like lewd and obscene in the back seat Oh, well, I will say this

One of them One of them did smell like weed So somebody was just blazing in it Well, I... Wood would definitely be Julianne. You know, if Julianne gets a waymo after a full night out partying...

She's had some wine Yeah. Hell yeah. I mean, you know, taxi cap confessions back there. I do that. I do that when I get drunk and I get into a cat. I'm like, yes, play taxi cap confessions.

Let me tell you about my night. I know. I'll tell them, like, hey, Hey, let me ask you three questions. And if I get it right, this ride is free. And they're like, okay. And then I always lose, so. I've seen this porno before.

Or the guy just jumps out of the car and then it becomes driverless. He was like, I can't take it anymore. I'm out. I wouldn't be surprised. I like to sit in the front when I get drunk. Oh, my God, nightmare. I'm the first. Well, if you have a chance to take away, Mo, I say do it.

Oh, Julianne, I kind of thank you so much. You and your daughter because you guys put me on to K-pop Demon Hunter And oh my God I'm gonna tell her right now Yeah dude Check this out

So ever since you mentioned K-pop Demon Hunter I started seeing it more and more In the zeitgeist of the world And like entertainment reports And streaming numbers And things like that Dude number two

Most viewed movie of all time On Netflix It came out June 20th The soundtrack to the movie to the movie just came out recently over three billion streams number two on the billboard chart. Yeah. In

insane. So I got to... Felicity just said, good job and she's not surprised that it's number two because it's the best movie in the world. Oh, well. Good job, menace, good job. So I mentioned it on the Woody show and said, hey, these are things that might pop up in your life and you might not

know what people are talking about. I mention it. Dude, Brett, you saw it. The text on the show just exploded of people saying I watch Demon Hunter my kid watches it every single day nonstop text about this

Demon Hunter movie You get a large crossover of a fan base you get everybody that loves K-pop and K-pop music and the Kauai culture right as well but then you also get everybody that loves anime and everything

that I've heard about this especially from people in the office that watch it is fantastic it's a really good wait you haven't watched yet I'm surprised I haven't watched it yet. Oh, damn. It takes me a minute to get into certain things. Like, once I'm on something, I don't jump off.

And especially when, sorry, this sounds pretentious. But when everybody starts talking about something, I go, ah, is it really that good? You know, maybe I'll wait. You don't want to be disappointed. I don't want people to put something in my mind that it's going to be a rating of 11, volume 11 quality. And I'm like, it just, you know, it was okay. I want to just enjoy it. All right.

You know, for what it is. So I will watch it. Eventually. I think I should watch it since I talked about it. Are you going to watch in theaters? They're putting it out of theater. Did you hear about that, Julianne? No, I'll hope that's Felicity right now.

Next weekend, they're going to put K-pop Demon Hunter in theaters and they're going to have giant sing-alongs to all the music. Eric wants to be their front row. Oh, yeah. Oh, I already have my tickets. Felicity is freaking out. Yeah, look it up. Dude, I'm telling you it's probably going to be nuclear sold out.

What's that Alamo draft house? I saw them post about it. Yeah, because I think they're doing it through Fathom events, right? Probably. And Alamo Draft House account popped up in my feed, and it had thousands of shares on it. So I'm sure people are all over it already. So try to get some tickets.

Not Fathom, sorry. It is a full theatrical release. So you can go to any theater, any showtime. Go look for it. Elma Draft House would be great. Do you know why they're doing that? Why is that? Probably because they're like, well, maybe we can get some movie awards out of this.

for best anime because it has to have a theater run. If it came from streaming, it has to have a theater run. Interesting. Yeah. That explains why a lot of streaming movies will get like a theater to show the movie. So that way they still technically qualify. Yeah, so they can submit it. Also, that happens with comedians.

We just had Joe Coyne studio. And he's like, oh, I have all these vinyl for sale. And I also brought up the fact like, oh, yeah, things do have to go out on vinyl as well if you want to be submitted for the Grammys. Yeah, I was surprised about the take in the room. when we discussed that because, you know, the take was, why does it have to be vinyl? Why are you putting it on vinyl? Why is that, you know, instead of CD or this? That's the number one music format people are buying, and they will buy it in troves.

Like, I bought in, swear to God, yeah, my wife has a record player, and we have a stack of vials that we bought, and I've bought in probably 15 or so in the last five or so years. Whoa. And it's been way longer since I bought a CD, that's for sure. I see more and more vinyl in Target. than I see anything else. Yeah, there's vinyl in almost every store you go to. More vinyl than DVDs and CDs, obviously.

Yeah, and you're seeing cassettes pop up now, too. Did you see this? Yeah. At Walmart, they're on brand. They just released a boombox tape deck. What? So you can play cassettes now because everybody's like, oh, cassettes are the end thing.

We can reproduce these again. Damn. Yeah. That's crazy. Also, shout out to my brand new baby metal vinyl that I just said. Oh, signed by the band. It was kind of great. Nice.

Do you guys want some food news? Oh, yeah. Yes, please. Tyler asked me if I went and picked this up, but I already been had it. The Taco Bell, Moundu, Baja Blast, Midnight flavor. It's purple if you go to the Taco Bell and check it out for yourself. I got to try it when I went to that Taco Bell event in New York City, where they let me try out all the items that they're releasing this year.

And it's pretty good. The only thing is he asked me if I had it that day. And funny story is I did go to Taco Bell that day. but I did not get it because they don't have it in zero. And I want to drink all my sodas in zeros these days. I feel you. That's my pain with code red. It'll never be in zero.

They have Moundu Zero and they have Baja Blast Zero at Taco Bell. The reason I say it's funny that he brings it up because I also went to Taco Bell twice that day. So I first went to Taco Bell and got a bean and cheese burrito. And I said, you know what? That'll be good to hold me over because, you know, I am. I am on Zepbound, so I'm not really that hungry. But I go, I really wanted a beefy five-later burrito as well, and I'll just eat less later. Right.

If I do that. So I left the Burbank Taco Bell, and then I drove to the North Hollywood Taco Bell and got myself a beefy five-later burrito. But I did not get this new Moundu Baja Blast midnight, but I do recommend it because I have tried it. Have you guys seen this, that KFC has brought back their famous potato wedge. All in or all out. Stop it. All in. I love potato wedges.

Even if it's KFC or not. Potato wedges are so good. Now, this was in a food report over at foodbeast.com, but I didn't see any details about food, but I'm sure they're going to incorporate it. Did you see that our friends at Cosm, who I absolutely love, if you don't know, it's like a scaled down version of the Las Vegas sphere, but they have live events, events we talked about it for the past couple years here on the podcast but look up cosum if you don't know what it is c osm it's available in dallas texas and in los angeles by sofi stadium but they're going to be doing now they already did the matrix okay i i've never been a matrix guy i don't i've never even watched the matrix all the way through but this time around in

september they're going to do a fully immersive willie wanka and the chocolate factory. Oh, yes. I can just imagine. They say fully immersive, right? Yeah. So I can imagine. Now, there's other places, other movie theaters that do this where you're watching

a movie and a food item pops up on the movie screen and then they, they all deliver that item for you so you can eat along with the movie. I guarantee you, they're probably going to do with this Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory thing. They're going to probably put candies out every time it pops up in the movie. They have to do that. This is every kid's dream. watching that movie growing up

and like sitting through second grade and having it on the little VCR and watching you wanted to eat all that candy you wanted a golden egg oh the golden egg oh yeah I want it now I want it I need it I can't wait for that I'm definitely

going to go see that I did skip out on the Matrix showing Sammy of all people from our show went and she absolutely loved it I'm actually surprised that you aren't that big of a fan of the Matrix considering conspiracy theories Skynet talk

and robots but multiverses that we live in is it too real to you maybe maybe it's too real I don't know because I think that period of time when that movie was released and I still am way into comedies I'm just more of a comedy guy I can see that I get that I like the first

Matrix or that it gets a little weird comedy and action movies and I don't really think I consider like the Matrix more of like a sci-fi movie even though it does have a lot of action in it. No, no, no, it's definitely a sci-fi movie. Yeah. All right.

Speaking about action, dude, I'm like dying over here because I don't know if you know this. F1, they have summer breaks. So they have a full month of no races going on. So I'm kind of getting into watching indie races. But the only reason I'm bringing this up is have you guys seen the last NASCAR race what happened, the winner of the race? I saw it. He fell over as he's celebrating and broke his collarbone.

It is freaking brutal. Did you guys see that video? Yeah. It was hilarious. Dude. He didn't follow. He slipped off of his car. Yeah.

So that little net that they have instead of a window, apparently the net was folded over and he stepped on it and slipped. And, dude, he got messed up. That sucks. Yeah, he did. It was hard not to laugh, but it sucked at the same time. like how embarrassing too he just had this big old win and then just fell like a dummy and yeah god i don't know that's brutal man i've been picking up a couple of nascar races here and there there was one in i think it was iowa just recently that was super exciting

where the the driver they didn't know if he was going to have enough gas to finish the race and there was 14 laps left he had like 3% of fuel and so i checked out that one that was really cool I'm curious. So by you watching NASCAR, does this open you up to start building and collecting NASCAR Lego sets? They have them? They do. I think so, right? Yeah, they have at least one.

I know that. Okay. But is it like a big one where it's like $200 some bucks? Because I ain't going to buy that. No, because my brother built it. I think it was around like $60 or something. Like it wasn't too expensive. You know me?

I'm kind of in the $30 range because once I started breaking the $30 range on the $1. Legos, it's going to be bad, man. Oh, I, I, I increase my budget on it, it's going to be over. Hold on. All right, I got some Lego Technic, Lego Speed Champions. Oh, crap. There's a $45 one, the Technic, and then there's this one,

this flame joint. This is like $22. Okay. All right. You can dabble. Okay. You can dabble. Come on. Dude. You're fixed, man. Well, I finished all the

F1 Lego sets that are the cheaper ones. I never got into like the ones that are 200 plus. But then while I was looking for the sets that I needed, guys, do you know that there's other company other than Lego? Like there's like some offshoot companies and they also make F1 sets. That's kind of Legoish. Welcome to my world of toy collection.

Yeah. Where there's official transformers, then there's third party transformers and third party ones look better than the actual real thing. Yeah. And then you want those and the transformer dollars each. I know. It's a problem. It's a problem.

Can you get those ones at the dollar store? No. No, these ones are just as expensive or more than Lego. Oh, way more expensive. Yeah. You can't do that. It's stupid. Then you need your fix and then you start going to every Ross trying to get your fix and start

scratch you. You're triggering Brett right now. We need to change topics. Okay. I need to lock myself up. Now, speaking of movies, though, this weekend, I might go to the movies because there's a couple that I have not watched. You got Freaker Friday, Fantastic Four, Superman.

And then you have weapons, which I hear is so freaking. scary. I did the commercials for it. Might be a little bit too scary for me. Yeah, I would say. What is it? Again, something a little too realistic. All right. This is what is about Julianne. A whole class of children go missing at 2.17 a.m. in the middle of night, except for one. Then the town wants to figure out like what happened in these kids, all right, without giving way too much. And they marketed it as a true story. I did a deep dive. And, and, it's based on like multiple true stories so everyone says it's super scary Tyler you said you saw it is it super scary because people feel like they've been traumatized by watching this movie

um I don't know who's saying that because that's kind of wild uh I would say you are dead inside so from all those coaxed and I mean you don't have any kids that you live with I mean you have you know what that's true that's true or acknowledge things that you don't different when you have kids like it hits you so different again he has kids they just don't live with yeah he left them right right well when they live with you it's different yeah I would say for me personally I think it leans more on the suspense side than the horror side which is why I think menace can handle it I think it'll be okay I would say it's nothing horror like the conjuring that's going to come out later this year like I'm not going to see that I don't think it's anything

Pussy. Close to something like that. All right. I did see the naked gun and I think a little overhyped. Really? Everyone's like, oh, 100% on Ron Tomatoes. See? I mean, there was parts.

There was parts that were funny. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. But just a little too much for me on certain parts. What score did you give it? I gave it like six or seven. Okay. Like I saw that one too.

I gave it at seven. I thought it was pretty solid. Yeah. See, this is why I won't watch K-Py. demon hunter right now just because of the hype if it lets me down i'm gonna be yeah i was like i skipped over fantastic four and superman for it i heard fantastic four is kind of dark really it's it looks bright but the emotion and everything that's going through it i want to have fun it's it's a serious movie it's a very serious movie if you want fun everything's supposed to be deep and have a message i know

Oh, okay. Freakier Friday, it is. Ooh. No. Freakier Friday. Turn on some football or baseball, man. You'll like to be better. Get a sack. Yeah, come on, brother.

Nut up or shut up, brother. I'm sure there's a... I think indie racing is happening in Portland this week, and I'll watch some indie racing. No, that's some man stuff. Watch some cars. I'll balance out my Freaker Friday with some indie car racing. It crashes and fire. Yeah.

Ooh, what? So speaking of hyena, my friends at Hyena just bought a bunch of animation cells from a particular artist, and one of the cells is for the intro from Better Off Dead. What? No way. is one of the actual animation cells used for Better Off Dead. What?

Yeah. It's not a huge cell, but. Wow. If people don't know, Better Off Dead is my favorite movie of all time. starring John Cusack. It's an underdog story. It's hilarious. It's an 80s comedy.

If you are sitting around this weekend and you're looking for a movie, check out Better Off Dead. It is freaking hilarious. And then followed up with another movie called One Crazy Summer. As another John Cusack movie, it is super funny. And it's funny you should mention that. So the artist is Bill Cop and hyena is selling the cells from it. Not only do they have better off dead, but they also have a sell from one crazy summer.

Oh, my God. I'll go talk to my friend today. All right, please. Okay. Eric, do you have anything to say before we leave? Tyler is a phony. Go bills. Damn.

Tyler, would you like to respond? No, Eric's just gatekeeping per usual. I'm used to this. Don't throw buzzwords out there, try to appeal to all the listeners. No, no, no, I am not the first, I am not the first person to mention this. I am not the first person to mention this. Oh, wait, so you're playing into other people just to try to. Or are you talking to Randy's neighbor or something?

He has something to say by her. Yeah. Not Randy this morning. He was going to work. I was walking my dog. Oh, you did? Did he say how? It was nice to catch up with an old friend, you know.

Did he say hi to you? Did he nod? He was like, I had to do the like, hey. up thing. Yeah. And he's, oh, I had to take his AirPod out, you know, I was like, who are you? Oh, oh, hi. He's going to... He recognized you? Oh, he's like, wow, did you change your look? I feel like I haven't seen you in like 10 years. We almost made it. Almost made it to show

without the thing. No, legit. Tyler, do you have anything to say before we leave? Uh, yeah, I wanted to touch up on something I did last week. Oh. Buckle up. Here comes 20 more minutes of podcast. I totally forgot about this. I had a it written down in my notes too, but we moved on. Well, I thought we were giving him a break. Yeah, no. Yeah, I know exactly where we were going to, but we spent an hour talking about

his food already, so. Yeah. Look, man, food was had. It was delicious. I went to Dodger Stadium, and I completed the 9-9-9 challenge. You said you were going to release a video with this. You know what? I kind of forgot about it.

The video did not come out nearly the way I wanted it to. But do you not look great? Is it just not the most appealing thing in the world? It's not that the footage was not the best. It was also incredibly hot and my phone kept overheating to the point where it's like your phone needs to cool down. Now, can you explain what the 999 challenges to everybody real quick? For nobody, for anybody who doesn't know what the 9-9 challenges, you go to a baseball game.

It is nine hot dogs, nine beers, in nine innings. You start as soon as first pitch happens and you have to do it all before. for the last pitch of the game. And so we didn't capture any of this properly. Well, we did it. I did capture this on my Instagram. It got a nice little following. Stories that are gone forever now,

menace. Yeah, on my stories. I could always gather the stories and put it into a post. But, you know, Brett and I,

every time we got to record a podcast, we always kind of have like a backup plan of things go wrong. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, I wasn't expecting my phone to overheat.

That I did not plan for. That is my mistake. Oh, and I, and we always have a backup plan. plan too. If something goes wrong with Tyler, Eric and I have backup plans. Yeah. It's called screenshots. Yeah. Which we just texted the group chat right now. Screenshots of the 999 challenge. Yeah. Because we've got to capture the perfect moments from the 999 challenge.

Oh, yeah. So that we will always remember how well Tyler did during it. Oh, I love how he turned one into a sticker. I hate you for that. It was hard. By the seventh hot dog dude, I'm just like, this, this sucks. This is a chore. To finish hot dog at 8. nine it's brutal man and then by after the fifth beer it started to hit me it's like oh god i still have to do two more of these but we finished it uh there were plenty of witnesses because this was a this was at a workouting for my other job so all the homies who i work with they all saw it happen um in case you guys now now this is my question about this scenario so you go to this event with co-workers from your other job not not intertwined with us so i'm assuming you have a different

at this other job. They don't know you like we know you, right? As Tyler, the radio, dumbass, whatever, everything. Yeah. The wacky guy. I'm assuming these people have a different idea of you. So we get this text from Tyler talking about, Oh, you won't dare me to do the 999 challenge. And it's text to me and Randy. And then Randy, of course, pokes him. And then Tyler replies, Mom, it ain't raised no bitch. And then does it, right?

Yeah. So I'm like, did you use us to dare you to do this in front of other co-workers? And while you're doing this, and hold on, and while you're doing this, this is this their first experience of oh my god this dude is gross yeah no because they've they've known for a while that I absolutely like do not touch vegetables whatsoever so they've kind of had an idea what is that what is that doesn't mean anything yeah that's that one did you did you prod Randy to get this dare in front of other co-workers did you do that did we dare you or did they

there you no no so I mentioned when no no no did Randy dare you or did The co-workers dare you. The co-workers dared me. But what I had said in the text to our group chat was specifically, oh, the co-workers from the other job are trying to get me to do the 9-99. And Randy said. Randy said, don't do it. You will die.

And you said. And then at that point. And you said. And then I said the whole like, Mama didn't raise no bitch or whatever. Because at that point, the other guys had fully pushed me to do it. And I said, okay, this is happening. So second question, was this the first time they realized like, oh, my God. this dude is gross.

No, because they've seen me drunk before, so I wouldn't say that. Okay, so maybe they do know you as the same ways we do that. Yeah, I'd say they'd know me, if not the exact same way, a pretty similar way. Silly me to think you'd be professional in another way of life. Silly me. New job, new start, guys. Don't worry. They know me as gross.

I'm good. All right, Julianne, do you have anything to say before we leave? No, I'm good. That was enough time. All right. Let's get out of here. quick, not to prolonging some more. This 999 challenge also happened like 24 hours before his fair food extravaganza.

These insides are like tar. And I keep on saying how he's starting to look skinnier, but then, you know. At this point, I would like to acknowledge the text that Eric sent in the group chat. Tyler eating fair food just a few days after the 999 challenge, your insides are wrecked, needs to be studied. Like, your ass must have been talking the whole rest of the week. I was, dude, I was fine, man. I had no problems. Because he eats like that all the time, so his insides are used to it.

That's why. That is true. Imagine if he ate vegetables, then his blood hole would be talking. Dude, I was hungry. Zep bound only goes to 15 milligrams, dude. I don't think it can fight off all that stuff. Plus the Coke slurpees. This guy's a mess, guys.

Again, I keep on complimenting him that he's looking skinny. This is not what you do. I mean, look, in my, well, the Coke slurpiece aside, that's, that's a whole other thing, okay? In my defense, this just happened to be the two days I was going to do. I'm not going back to the fair. He had to do it, guys. He had to do it. You have to do it.

I'm not going back to the fair and I'm not doing the nine. Yeah. Hell yeah. Exactly. Hey, Tyler. Just don't. All right. Brett, any more?
