What's new? What's new with Menace? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Menace. I'm joined by Bortz, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. Hello. He used to have an assistant. His assistant's name is Eric, but Eric now works for the NFL Podcasting Network and he's coming to us live from downey california yo what up and joining us live from houston texas is heavy t aka tyler from the better

sports network what is up tyler how you doing what is up everybody how we doing all right last podcast we talked about the drama will tyler have a place to stay for the when we were young music festival and it was totally my fault I told them before when the festival was announced that I would get a room for everybody and now most of the people are not going because they have new jobs at the NFL they're big timers but Tyler was still going and I totally forgot hey wait Tyler still needs a room so Tyler you are now staying at the Mirageage casino let's go never stayed there so that'd be kind of cool so i uh left that point for him to once again say thank you

see he didn't say thank you right he didn't say thank you and he never says thank you and that was a big part where he messed up when he worked for the woody show what was it like woody did something for him and he didn't say thank you it was uh it was a little like little woody show thank you bonus yeah it was the usual annual thank you christmas bonus that you know he's very kind and generous with and everyone said thanks everybody except i couldn't you know what the sad thing was I could have sworn I did and apparently wow I did not I felt super bad about it now is that just not a thing when you were growing up in your household to say thank you for stuff or what I think I think

everybody just says thank you but you guys know me like my brain is scrambled as hell. So apparently I think I say thank you or I think I told somebody something. Are you really pulling the I'm stupid to in order to excuse being ungrateful right now? Yeah, I misremembered. He is not not not being ungrateful. I am very grateful. I could and like it kind of it goes back to last week. I could have sworn that when menace called me, I said thank you. I mean, it's very possible. I could. And like it kind of it goes back to last week. I could have sworn that when menace called me, I said, thank you. I mean, it's very possible that I didn't. And if I didn't, I'm super sorry. Yes, I am very grateful.

Yes. Thank you. It's always what can you do for Tyler? Not what can Tyler do for you? Oh, do you know what? On top of all that, the funny thing is I was having listeners DM me. They're like, dude, Tyler's a grown ass man. You don't need to take care of him. Blah, blah, blah. And I was having listeners DM me. They're like, dude, Tyler's a grown-ass man. You don't need to take care of him.

Blah, blah, blah. And I was writing them back nicely. I was like, no, you know, he works on the podcast. We got to make sure that he's taken care of and all this kind of stuff. And still, no thank you. Well, yeah, obviously. I could have sworn. So the listeners are going to double down on you. I mean, is this...

I deserve it. I deserve it. Does this really surprise you out of all the things he's done you know not giving you back change when he apparently was supposed to use the uber and did it you know he had some some chick pick him up from the airport driving back oh yeah he learned that from randy though oh yeah randy what about i'm gonna toss him on the bus right here what about the flight credit that you have that menace paid for at one time? I forget what flight was canceled, but you're like, oh yeah, I might use my flight credit. And I'm like, where did you get a flight

credit for? And I forget what you were being flown out for. It was for Menace's birthday party last year, and I couldn't make it because when I was working at the station, the Astros were in the World Series. Oh yeah, I might use my flight credit. I'm like, what flight credit? He's like, oh yeah, that time Menace bought me a flight and I didn't end up coming out. I'm like, wait, you just, you're just like sitting on? And I bought him my flight credit. I'm like, what flight credit? That time Menace bought me a flight and I didn't end up coming out.

I'm like, wait, you're just sitting on? I bought him flights after that. He still hasn't used it. He's pocketing it for some random chick to fly across the country and meet up with. No, no, no. I used it. I'm trying to remember what I used it for.

I think I used it for the last time I came out to California, which I think was in maybe six months ago. You need to get your brain checked, bro. For real. It's not good, bro. I need a CAT scan. It's not good. Look, I'm just saying, Menace,

you had another option of where to set up Tyler at for the weekend. I think we should have gone with it. What was the name of that wonderful place you were going to put him at? Oh, what was it? It was the Desert Inn. Yeah, it's like the Desert Inn Motel or something yeah okay google map it and see what the first image is that pops up because i think we should put tyler there it was something extremely special yeah i mean look i told like he told me he's like oh hey we're putting you at the desert and i was

like all right cool like that's totally fine like i didn't care yeah because like i'm hardly gonna be in the room in the first place was sending photos of like all these crackheads that are living in the alley in the back and tyler's like okay i'm cool dude there was a pay by the day rv park like next door yeah and the alleyway is just full of crackheads random dogs and like people passed out and stuff it was great he's just laying there and i was like let's remember it doesn't take much to please Tyler. Remember, he willingly chose to sleep in your closet when we went to Palm Springs. True, true.

But I was like, I'm not going to do him dirty like that. Anyways, moving on. Eric, Randy, and I got to hang out, guys. It was crazy. I'm not hitting the air horn because I'm upset. I didn't get to hang out either. What the hell? You don't want to go to Monday Night Football. I would have appreciated the invite. I'm just hitting the air horn because I'm upset. I didn't get to hang out either. What the hell? You don't want to go to Monday Night Football.

I would have appreciated the invite. I'm just saying. Oh, here we go. All right. So now I'm getting burned. So the funniest thing about us hanging out with Menace. So like, you know, Menace graciously handed over some tickets to us. I wasn't sure if he was actually going to make it to the game or not with a buddy with a buddy. Right. So I talked over the weekend, Monday comes, I'm working,

he's working out. We just kind of end up, I'm like coming into the game. Haven't heard from menace all day. I'm like, damn, I wonder if he's actually gonna show up. Right. So we walked down to our seats, right. And within the first two seats of the aisle, we're four and five. So we got to go in a little bit. And I see before our seats, I'm like, dude, damn, there's some weirdos sitting there. Long hair. I can't tell what he's wearing. I like is he wearing spandex and i'm like walking down the seats i'm like

kind of eyeballing my seats like crap we're sitting by effing weirdo you know eccentric sports fan it was funny walking and i'm like i look over i see you standing there staring dude i got to our row and i'm telling rand like okay we're four and five and i'm not making eye contact with this weirdo with long hair and this, this mermaid suit. I'm like, all right, man, you gotta go past that guy. And he's like, Oh look, it's menace. And I'm like, where? And menace is literally two feet in front of my face. And I was not making eye contact, but he's,

he was there with the damn trick or treating costume on because he was doing stuff before the show. I had no clue. I was like, damn, we got a weirdo sitting next to us. He's like, it's Aquaman. Yeah. So yeah, I was dressed up as Aquaman. I did this bit where I went to the tailgate

and I trick or treated all the tailgaters and you can go see the video on my Instagram right now at Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E. It went over very well, but yes,

I had a full on beard so you couldn't really tell if it was me or not. And Eric was totally fooled. But it was fun. Completely fooled. 110% did not know until you spoke to me. I'm now convinced that Eric could be fooled by...

No offense, Matt. It's a great costume. It's a great setup. I'm convinced he could be fooled by anything at this point. Eric is now Ash Ketchum to me in Pokemon. No matter what Team Rocket shows up like, he's like, oh, who are these guys? They're new, right?

Oh, dude, guaranteed, if I walked up to Eric and I didn't have my glasses on, he would not know who I am. No way. Definitely. Well, dude, and I'm like, I think I'm pretty like, you know,

my head's on right. You know, I got a good head on. But like when I'm not interested in something or I'm trying to avoid a situation, I'm just over my head. And like, yeah, weirdo sitting next to me where I'm already thinking in something or I'm not, I'm trying to avoid a situation. I'm just over my head and like, yeah, weirdo sitting next to me where I'm already thinking like, damn,

okay, how can I not sit next to this guy? And I was behind him and, and I see the weirdo. I'm not making eye contact with you until I absolutely have to. Wait, are you Brad Pitt? Do you have face blindness?

Because that's why, that's what he says when he's, he doesn't remember people. I have face blindness. I don't remember. I'm just not paying attention unless I really care, man. It's really, and when he doesn't remember people. I have face blindness. I don't remember faces. I'm not paying attention unless I really care, man. And then it's like weirdos at a football game don't care about them. Now I'm worried about showing up to a football game

with you guys wearing spandex because you'll be like, oh, this long-haired weirdo's spandex again is back. Who's this guy? It was a good game, though. It was Chargers versus Broncos, and I thought it was good, but then they tied up, and then Justin Herbert just kept on trying to get that touchdown. He wanted that touchdown. I'm like, man, just kick the ball and win the game, get it over with.

It went into overtime, right? I couldn't say the whole time. Yeah, it went into overtime. Chargers ended up kicking a field goal to win it after a muffed punt by the Broncos. It was cool to see Russell Wilson play. He's one of the top quarterbacks you'll ever see in the league. So it was cool to check off. It's cool to go to games.

Obviously, I don't have a dog in the fight. But you go to these games hoping to just see some cool plays. And the seats were nice. So a couple things went down right in front of us. Check off the box. Monday Night Football. Russell Wilson. It was a good experience, definitely.

Yeah, really fun. And we'll have more tickets to give away if you listen to the radio station Alt 98.7 in Los Angeles. Booker and Stryker, they do most of the giveaways for the Chargers. So make sure you tune in in the afternoon. Now, so it's weird

like hanging out. You guys are not my co-workers anymore, you and Randy. Why do you have to keep reminding me of this every second it's very depressing but but i don't know i don't know if you guys have been paying attention but uh you have been replaced eric you've been replaced by caroline how's that going actually it's going really well um you know easily replaced eric easily not no not easily replaced. Not easily. From what I've heard, yeah, it was a blink of an eye. Just step right in and take the wheel.

Also, it was an easy process completely. There was no twists and turns and headaches on my end whatsoever trying to get somebody in the spot. She's definitely been there the whole month and a half I've been gone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, you know what's funny? I said to Sam, are you on two and a half weeks in? Yeah, I'm like, oh my god, that means that it's funny. I said to Sam, like, are you on like two and a half weeks in? Yeah, I'm like, oh, my God.

That means that Eric's been gone almost two months at this point. I know. I had five weeks of torture doing everything by myself. But, yeah, I think, you know, it's cool. Caroline was here. She left before the pod, which she could have been here for this. But she's actually a really great addition to the show. She has, like, a lot of enthusiasm to want to learn, to want to learn production, to want to, like, be a part of the show um she has like a lot of enthusiasm to want to learn to want to learn

production to want to like be a part of the show she does have some ericness she really she likes to go some festivals she likes yeah she does like a wide a range of music a lot of fun loving i know she was wearing a kid cuddy sweatshirt the other day and I was like, whoa, this is a change. She does also have the mandate of, you know, I don't need to go into the studio to say anything. I'll stay over here. This is where I like to be. Kind of Miss Unknown at the same time.

Very Eric-like. That's the way to go. Go in, work, fade into darkness. That's all you need to do, man. But at the same time, you know, there's no replacing Eric. And I've already said this. It's one, I already knew Eric before this a little bit. Two, Eric became darkness that's all you're doing but but at the same time you know there's no replacing eric and i've already said this like it's it's one i already knew eric before this a little bit to eric became my friend very good friend this entire time that we've been working together and as much as caroline's coming in with so much enthusiasm man menace you know this better than

anybody being doing this for so long when you have somebody that knows exactly everything that you need done and then you go to completely fresh fish and you're going at all you're like oh my god i gotta redo all this all the process i even had to hit up eric yesterday and go what was the process for this on your lap your old laptop i don't remember yeah you think about it you where was i there for five six years something like that yeah um and which is crazy to think about i did not feel like that long but yeah you you in, I know what I'm supposed to do. You know what I'm, you know, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. You know, the workflow is kind of seamless, but then it was one of my things about when I was working at Fox, cause we would have

interns every six months. And it's like, it's almost like, like stop, start, stop, start. Cause you got to make sure they're doing it right. You got to explain, I'm sure she'll pick it up. Eventually it's not that hard, you know know it's just all about the reps but it is weird once you kind of realize like oh crap i gotta start from phase one with somebody new but again awesome addition in a perfect world i would have you know kept randy eric julianne maybe tyler you know add caroline that would have been awesome know, and then we also have another new addition. Yeah. Starting today.

So after Eric announced that he was leaving, Cameron decides he's going to announce that he's leaving. Jesus. Wow. Finger slipped. Okay. So he said that. Oh, it was Tyler that did that. Oh, okay.

So he announced that he was leaving. And then, so we had all these applicants for Eric's job. And in the mix, there was Sammy, who has done morning radio in Los Angeles for quite a long time. Yeah. And we're like, would you like to try out for Cameron's job? And then, boom, she's in the studio. And I mean, she already really knows the dynamics of a morning show. Right. Which is awesome.

I mean, there's a little bit of the running of the system of a morning show right which is awesome i mean there's a little bit of the the running of the system of the show it's there's a learning curve on how the machine runs because this is a machine eric and tyler could both attest to this it's it's knowing where everything goes at a certain time and place and how to tetris everything together none of it's hard it's just learning how the machine works and she's used to the morning show grind yeah a lot of people who say they're down for the gig and then they get inside and they realize what the call time is and they're like hell no she's been through the thick of it i mean that goes a long way almost the experience is good enough let alone just being good at her job more than likely you know yeah after day one it already felt like she's been

here for a while i would like to to say, congrats to me. Because I'm three for three right now. I picked Eric, I picked Caroline, and I did the initial talk with Sammy and said, hey, she's cool. Maybe we should figure something out for her. So three for three, I think I'm pretty good. All right. All right. Everybody has to run through Bort.

Yes, exactly. Tyler, I had no call in whatsoever. I remember you didn't have a call, but I do remember before I even met Woody, I had a meeting with you and Cameron. So you did have a little bit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That was a meeting. That was a camera call. And Eric was with me afterwards.

I'm like, this is all a camera man. Good luck, Tyler. All right. I'm kidding'm kidding all right all right tyler was good actually i actually use tyler as a good basis for anyone that's board hopping the woody show because randy used to like to say if a monkey could do this job anybody could do this job that is not true thank you but if thank you but if tyler do the job, that's at a bar right there. You got to be better than Tyler. Yeah, you have a pretty good chance he could do the job. I will take it. This is vindication.

I will take it. And Tyler could at least multitask. Sure, he liked his own ad a lot. Sure, he was on his phone all the time and would barely sleep and come in. But you know what? He could answer phones and run a board pretty damn well. He was there. You remember when Tyler fell asleep in his van after a shift?

Yeah, we thought he died. Because he just doesn't go to sleep for some reason hold on do you remember that somebody actually came to us i forget who it was i think it was sea bass because he saw tyler sleeping in his van his beat-up van with the car running oh yeah and he mentioned it to um randy and then randy came and got us like yo tyler's sleeping in his van so we all go down there and tyler's just sleeping his van the the car's running the there and Tyler's just sleeping in his van. The car's running. The exhaust is pumping throughout the entire parking lot.

I get it. I've done the whole like college thing. I've done the kill time thing. Take a nap in your car. Find a nice tree somewhere nice secluded in the back of the parking lot.

He was in the main walkway in and out of the damn parking structure. He was right next to the handicap spot. Yeah, like everybody could see you. It's like, bro, at least move and hide. the damn parking structure. He's right next to the handicap spot. Yeah, like everybody could see you. It's like, bro, at least move and hide,

tuck yourself away. That's like five levels of parking structure you could have chose from. I mean, I guess, yeah. I remember why I fell asleep. It's because I think out of everybody that worked on the show, I easily had the longest drive

because I was living in Whittier. And then when you throw traffic in there, it's about 45 minutes an hour drive home and i had already been at the studio since 2 30. all right hold on no no no no no no i'm not letting you do this whole oh i had a long drive you were asleep in your car because you were probably up pounding beers until midnight when you have to be at the station at two i'm'm not doing this, oh, I had to drive. Everybody had to drive, bro. I didn't fucking drive in and down in one time. No, no, I'm not blaming it on like,

that's, you know, it's because I had a long drive. No, no, what I'm saying is, and look, there were times, yes, where I obviously didn't get enough sleep, but something I've legitimately never said. Like day one through the last day. I mean, yes, I guess you're correct, but something I've legitimately never said day one through the last day. I mean, yes, I guess you're correct, but something I've legitimately never said is that during

that time period, I also had sleep apnea really, really badly. You had sleep apnea? Don't believe it. Wait, the guy who in Big Bear, as we all stayed in the same Airbnb, snored through every wall.

Oh, I forgot about that. And I was supposed to share a room with. How was that supposed to happen? Or the guy who stayed in a closet in Palm Springs and shook the whole house. That guy has sleep apnea? I don't believe it. And there's no way you're cured from it. There's no way.

Oh, I never said I was. Not like I had sleep apnea. You know, we never asked you, Matt. How was your sleep that time while he was sleeping in the closet? Was it good? Luckily, I was high as hell and drunk, so I could sleep right through it. I'm fine. Was Nacho okay, or was she like, I'm going to kill him?

She's on her own. I don't know. But anyways, all right, moving on to tech news. Kanye West is buying the Parlerlor app and that is completely stupid because he wants free speech because he's been saying a lot of dumb things and in the media isn't that the right-wing conservative app well the super conservative one had some issue with the i didn't really follow it uh had some issue with the insurrection and then so they got pulled off the app store for a second but I believe that

they're back now I think this is a dumb move by Kanye because well he's had multiple multiple dumb moves but no one's gonna sign up for this app just to see what he has to say Elon Musk is buying Twitter and he says that everybody

has free speech on it so what are you doing look if porn stars could post whatever they want on Twitter, I'm pretty sure Kanye West should be safe and fine to post whatever he wants. Twitter is the wild, wild west, man. Yeah, exactly. He could post whatever weird, crazy ass stuff he wants. There's worse crazy people

on there probably and they're not moderated whatsoever. No, not at all. In other tech news, Apple TV might be less than $100. Now, I almost bought another apple tv for my little home studio yeah but i was like man this is way too much money it goes for like 160 bucks you know what i bought i just bought uh like a roku i think it's called express maybe 30 bucks that's pretty good it's not that bad i used to hate on roku dude so i was you know anytime people have brought up Apple TVs to me, nothing against Apple.

I love Apple. You know, I love their phones, I love their iPods, I love their computers, everything. But, dude, I got Xboxes up the wazoo. I got DVD players, Blu-ray players up the wazoo. Like, I can literally use any app and stream on anything at this point.

And any of those are perfectly fine. But Roku, because of how tiny it is and how, like, mobile, you can because of how tiny it is and how like mobile you can literally just plop that out and put it wherever you go right you could take it into like a hotel and it's like a usb right a little usb basically yeah that's it that's pretty handy yeah it's easy all right one last piece of news now are we lyft users i use lyft in a pinch I'm using I'm mostly uber user but Lyft has a new app called spot hero where they're gonna be in 300 cities where you can reserve a parking spot all in or all out I mean I'm all in because if I want to use it but this sounds like it's gonna start some fights I know

right you go to the spot that you reserved yeah and somebody's part there especially if like they're already there and they're nowhere to be found. How are you going to regulate it? Now they're going to have to hire lift spot protectors so you go stand in a spot and be like, no, this is somebody else's spot. And then they have to fight.

It's always great. You see these, I hate the term, the Karen videos, somebody's laying in a spot because they're flagging somebody down miles away. This is going to lead to some fights i i immediately thought the same thing now if they were actually tech savvy in doing this which they might be they could have it where you have to input your license plate right and then people are monitoring the spots checking license plates or their sensors

that will actually detect what kind of there's a car there or not or what kind of model car it is what kind of type of car it is. And if it matches, then it's okay. If not, maybe it'll like alert somebody to tow your car right away. Every single major city I go to always have parking issues. Right.

And the one thing I was, Oh, would be hoping for, especially for Eric and I guess Tyler, you know, I'll be nice to Tyler parking for sporting events because my God, are they super expensive and crazy to get to yeah times have a little alternative that'd be nice to at least have

it on your phone to check it out see if it's good yeah all right um i actually got a text we're gonna have a guest on the pod today out of nowhere that's gonna be fluffy aka gabriel iglesias coming up but before we do that let's do some food news all right you ready yeah some quick food news arizona iced tea founder pledges once again that arizona iced tea will remain 99 cents that's a hero right there that is a hero you know, there was that fake news that was going around that they raised the price 50 cents. My mom used to send me to school with $5. I would buy an Arizona iced tea and three oatmeal cream pies and that would be my lunch every day for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. That's awesome.

Yeah, I really love their ad campaign that they had with, what was it, Mint Mobile recently? Uh-huh. And Mint Mobile uses the T-Mobile system to be up there. But it was just watching Ryan Reynolds trying to pour Arizona iced tea drink into a cell phone to make it just as cheap as Arizona iced teas prices are. And I was just like, God, this is so ridiculous and dumb. But man, it's funny. It's hilarious. It's brilliant.

All right, one last piece of food news. Now, I talked about this on the last podcast that I have not tried the Jollibee spicy chicken sandwich. Now, I just went to New York. Yeah. I went to BravoCon, which was amazing. You can see a bunch of videos. You can go to my Instagram account at Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E.

But I had a little time to go to Times Square and talk to all the people that were dressed up, all weird, and no one wanted to talk to me. After that, I was a little hungry. So I said, I'm going to try Jollibee in Times Square and try the new spicy chicken sandwich, and it was certified fire. The sauce was delicious. They had fresh cut peppers on the top.

So good. And by the way, the Raising Cane's not open yet. What? In Times Square. This is my second time trying to go. Still not open. But if you're by a Jollibee and you want to try that spicy chicken sandwich, I highly recommend it. So this may be me being just dumb and out of the loop.

Because I mean, we talked about, I think maybe last podcast, I've never been in Jollibee. I just barely realized that it's a Jollibeaver. It's a bee. It's not a beaver. Yeah. a beaver yeah oh beaver i thought it was a beaver i didn't see him way over out of my loo no you're thinking bucky bucky's yeah bucky's has a beaver bucky's i'm gonna go oh yeah dude wait see it's a jolly beat how would it be a beaver hold on i thought it was a jolly beaver why did i think that what did i see eric how high were you when you looked at this logo he doesn't know who i am he doesn't know a b is a b i'm trying to think about what is happening with this i'm trying to something i

heard something i saw something beaver related and i was like dude jolly b it's a beaver but you know now that i see the bucky's logo, I definitely confused logos. See, definitely, definitely. What is, what is Bucky's convenience store? Let no, hold on. Hold on. This is my area. This is my area of expertise. There's a bunch in Texas, not in California. I want to know what this place is. Not in California, but it's super famous. Uh, not for me, man. I don't care about Texas. Buc-ee's is the sacred temple of Texas. Also spelled stupid.

No, I'm not even joking. It looks like boosies. No, so you go into Buc-ee's. It is basically if a gas station had conformed into a target. I guess that's the easiest way to say it. Yeah, it's massive. The one that's maybe about 20 something miles from me is the second biggest one in texas it's in katie right so you walk in first off there's like a

hundred pumps at this gas station which is incredibly convenient second you walk into this place dude there are people like in their hot food area just making fresh like pork rib or pulled pork sandwiches, like all that stuff like that. They have so many different types of beef jerky that are absolutely delicious. They're large cups of soda and slushies, 99 cents flat, never changes, cleanest restroom bathroom you've ever seen in your entire life. And dude dude that's just on one side of this thing you go to the other side bro they have their own merch they got t-shirts they got covers for your guns bro they sell cowhide rugs i've seen cowboy hats in this thing bro dude you don't even bucky's is sacred it is beautiful and i'm not gonna lie lie once I move back home, it might be the

number one thing I miss. I love Bucky's. I will send you some beaver nuggets my guy. I got you Tyler. How many times have you driven 30 miles away to go this Bucky's dude? I'm not even joking. I've done it at least five times. I love this place. Yes, you can't go down the street

to the rotating sushi bar that menace gave you a wonderful gift card to. Sounds about right. Yeah, that was my bad. I apologize. Thank you for that gift card, Menace. Might be a couple months too late. Which she also didn't thank you for in the first place.

I want to go. I've actually never been to Bucky's, but I'm fully aware of all its craziness. I support Eric's not knowing of Bucky's because if it wasn't me following pro wrestlers that travel the country, I would have no idea what Bucky's was. But since I've seen it, it looks pretty cool. It's a Southeast thing, right? It doesn't go past like mid-Texas. Yeah, it's the gas station 7-Eleven of Bass Pro Shops. That's a hell of a way to put it.

Yeah, but they're all over Texas. I know I saw a couple sprouting up in Tennessee and I think they're mainly through like the southeast. How did you see a couple sprouting up in Tennessee? When were you in Tennessee? I saw it in a newsletter. Okay. My newsletter.

I follow their Instagram. I keep up with the vibes and stuff, dude. The penny saver. He has no idea what's going on in the real world, but he has knowledge of the Buc-ee's news. Of Buc-ee's and random ass sports. That's it. Again, my guys, the sacred temple of Texas

is Buc-ee's, bro. Don't let anybody tell you different. Okay, well, I know this man. I'm more of a loves guy. Sorry. I'm more of a loves guy. That we're going to bring in the studio. I know he's been to Buc-ee's, so I'll ask him, but everybody welcome gabriel iglesias you know dude i gotta start off man you were part of the kickoff party for wrestlemania 2023 how was that you know what it was awesome it was freaking awesome i was backstage and i'm

standing there next to snoop dogg and snoop and I were just looking at each other. I'm like, hell yeah. Has all your WWE dreams come true or is there still something that you would love to do with the WWE? You know what? In a perfect world, being able to be part of a match would be awesome. I just don't think at 46 and with my health, I don't think I could pass a legal physical. That's okay. I'm pretty sure I could get the green that's okay i'm pretty sure i could get the green light but i'm but i'm pretty sure it would hurt whatever i do in that ring

yeah because uh i have actually gotten a chance to get in a wrestling ring before um i did a thing called uh portland wrestling back in the day with roddy piper roddy piper was part of this organization uh portland uh portland wrestling and um they got me in the ring oh and and just to get in the ring and just to feel the impacts, these massive dudes. I mean, these guys were like 6'5", and I'm not. And that mat doesn't really have that much give. Oh, no. When you're slammed.

Yeah, everyone was like, it's soft. Oh, yeah. No, no. This is not early 1990s WWF. There's extra spring to the rings. No, no, no. You're being slammed on a bike seat and most of the rings if you go to an indie show those are

hand-me-down rings that they were able to cobble together or put together and sometimes dude they're even harder than anything else or if you go to Japan their ring hurts it's pretty hard like New Japan Pro Wrestling stuff like that if we pull you into the ring at Wrestlemania you gotta do it though right it's Wrestlemania

if it's Wrestlemania you know what I feel like I owe it to my five-year-old version of me. I owe it to that little kid to live out that dream, you know, because it would be a dream come true to be part of something like that. And then at home, SoFi, LA, you know, at least if I get banged up, you know, it's a short drive home. Yeah. For real. So you've been around so much with WWE and even Jericho and his crews and all these different independents. And we were mentioning about Lucha Underground. You were noticing my sticker on my laptop right there.

All these different wrestlers you've been around, all these different situations you've been involved in. If you were at WrestleMania, what's the one wrestler you would like to actually hit you with the finishing move or be in the ring with or go toe-to-toe with? Even for a second, who would that wrestler be? Who you got beef with? I got beef with nobody.

I got beef with my age and I got beef with my physical. For fun. If you're talking like just a kid and a fan, of course you want to see one of the bigger superstars, like, oh, The Rock, or being there with Stone Cold, or, you know, all the Bret Hards of the world,

people that you grew up watching, and it would be awesome to have a moment with them. But I don't want to get hurt by any of these people I looked up to. You know what I mean? So I think more so just being part of a match, you know, would be really cool? And if I could handle it, I would love to get put through a table by like the Dudley boys.

Oh, that would be so cool. In a perfect world. Because then it's a one and done. They pick me up. They put me through a table. Send the gurney out. And then we'll celebrate backstage if I can walk. Yeah.

That would be so dope. That would be super fun. Because getting put through a table, that's just, you know, get the table. Oh, dude. And any time they would put someone through a table or set it on fire or put thumbtacks, it was always like, whoa. Or you think it'll be okay. You'll hit the table, all right?

You'll be all right. We'll aim correctly for it. I want to do some Mankind-type stuff and just, like, top of the cage. Why do you want to do that? That's dangerous, man. You're going to end up with a tooth up your nose, man. One Mankind match would just leave a dude retired. And that dude did that every night.

Yeah, right? You know, dropping elbows from the ring down to the floor. I know, right? You know, that guy's indestructible.

Every time I'd watch him, you know, and I felt like, of course, his better days were when he was in WCW. Right.

And then, of course, you know, he's still, you know, he's still doing it. And I've seen him around and he's still walking around and everything.

That's awesome. That's good to hear. Oh, man. And he's so freaking it. And I've seen him around, and he's still walking around and everything. That's awesome. That's good to hear. And he's so freaking smart. You could have a great conversation with him. He's just very insightful. The man's written books, all of his promos. But his character is, of course, the guy with missing teeth, goes through barbed wires and flaming tables and fighting Terry Funk

or whoever else can compete at that level. right the main reason you're here you have a netflix special out it's kind of a big deal it was shot at dodgers stadium first comedian in history to perform at dodgers stadium i told you this i was thinking about this as i was walking in into the stadium that it's a like just a sea of cars just a massive sea right and it's not like to see a whole baseball team it's not to like see a music festival or anything like that a sea of cars for one person and that person being you and being in your hometown like how was that right yeah no it was uh it was like a big homecoming it was like what made it special is the fact that i'm from this area this is my city this is where i grew up this is where i started this is where you know i think at the end of the

day everybody wants to be loved at home you know as artists we always travel and we're everywhere and so to be able to do the biggest thing i've ever done and have it be at home you know the drive home was so short and i'm like, I want to do a victory lap. It felt good. I was not nervous. I felt like this was a big celebration, and everybody was part of it. And it's one thing when you go out there and you're going to do something. It's another when everyone's part of this.

Because it was. Without the people there, I might as well be doing a show at the chuckle hut whatever you know yeah a little but everyone came out and it felt and i feel like everyone felt that they had contributed not just that night but whether they watched stuff on tv before but there was a lot of people there that had seen me over the last 25 years whether it was at a an improv or a theater or at the gibson or at the nokia or staples when it was staples or you know at some random event or just around town because i'm from the community so it was like one of one of our own is there i was and i think that's what was really awesome i couldn't imagine being you in that moment and like when you first walked out

there looking at the crowd would like did you even have any more elaborate thoughts on that or were you just like how'd this happen you know so i knew that i was going to be emotional because just the nature of what everything what it is and i'm like it's they're there so i knew that i was going to be like oh you know how am i gonna you know i didn't feel nerves as much as i did emotion right just excitement and been like overwhelmed with joy and everything because it's like wow it's it's going down uh if when people ask me about nerves and stuff, I say, oh, I was nervous about the, the, the production part, making sure that the lights were good. The sound was good. Make sure. Cause again, if you're not on the mic, if, if the lights aren't right, if the camera can't see you, you know, then that's an issue. Cause you are doing something

that's going to be living on a platform forever. Yeah. And everyone's going to be able to see this. So I was concerned about that. But at the end of the day, man, that's, you know, when I walked out there, I got choked up in the first 30 seconds because the like roar was like, wow, you could feel it. And I was just like, oh, my God. I even said in the first few seconds, oh, my God, you guys already got me worked up. Like, he's going to cry. I'm not going to cry.

I'm not going to cry. You're like, punch myself. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry. Yeah, the overall production, you spared no expense. I did want to go back a little bit because I messaged you after it got announced, like, how many times do you think you've driven by that stadium in your lifetime? And did it ever, ever like cross your mind

before the opportunity arose that like hey i would i would like to do that stadium like i would like to perform at that stadium the only time i ever or you just thought it was out it might have been out of reach it was well you know the imagination is an amazing thing you can always have like oh like you know i've always been in the main event at wrestlemania in my mind uh just because i can dream you and me both buddy but yeah uh for dodger stadium i remember i've i've attended uh many events there so i went to go see acdc there i went to go see uh elton john paul mccartney and so every time i would go there to watch a concert i always imagine what it would be like to perform there as a comedian. Because with music, that's one thing.

You know, music concerts, especially acts that are like that, that big, that iconic. Of course. Yeah, it makes sense. But, you know, in my mind, I'm just like, how cool would that be? Yeah. But then you start breaking it down yourself. You're like, it's never been done. How would that even go over?

Would people even be into that? People are willing to go to the Ice House in Pasadena, but are they willing to get in these crazy lines and fight for parking and get stuck in traffic and make these arrangements with babysitters and people and go buy outfits and get dressed up and make this an event, pay for parking, and then pay all the money for the snacks, the churros, the sodas, the beers to attend something like that here would people do that that's what you know what i would do in my head yeah and then so i didn't sound like something realistic yeah we're on like a micro

level on our show and i trip out like no one's showing up to our event like oh yeah he literally did this like i can never enjoy it i'm like no one's gonna show up you know like all this is gonna go wrong like we have an artist the artist is not gonna show up can't enjoy it i'm like no one's gonna show up you know like all this is gonna go wrong like we have an artist the artist is not gonna show up can't enjoy it until like yeah like until you walk on stage but it's uh oh you saw when i enjoyed it yeah yeah that was a two hour plus celebration you know i was doing my i think i was smiling and at times during my set when i shouldn't have been smiling because i'm still like, I'm still here. And then at one point, for me, I was in the middle of a bit, and I

think you'll see it on the special. The Goodyear blimp is flying overhead and I'm being, can you even say heckled? But I'm being distracted. I'm being distracted by a blimp that has my face and my name on it. And I'm just like, Is this happening? go like and i

addressed it i go look everybody i'm sorry i just gotta stop for one second there's a freaking blimp flying overhead and then i took out my phone and i recorded it and they actually used my phone footage and oh nice like what an inception out of body moment am i really here is this is this actually me dreaming or am i really here and then just to have it man just even at the end of the night just to see that everybody is still there that crowd is still packed from start to finish you're like this really did happen biggest fine ever let me tell you um how long did you go over it went over way over the show i think was supposed to be over rob what do you think 11 the show was supposed to be over 11 roughly and i think i got it was it was basically it was the next day oh

when when everything was said and done and um my set alone was almost three hours oh wow from the time i got on to the time i got off so two about two hours of that and change about 220 was performance and the rest was just me celebrating yeah and the crowd did not want to leave which i thought was the coolest thing because i just stayed on stage and then i brought out martin onto the stage my friend alfred and we were just telling stories about what it took to get there and and you know we were reminiscing about where we're from and like alfred's from east la martin's from wilmington i'm from long beach so it's like three local guys you know we're just like we're doing this thing and we're there and we're happy and

we're taking shots. And, you know, that didn't make it to the final cut. Allegedly. Netflix is like, you know, we didn't need to see you out there celebrating like that. Why didn't we just go to a still image real fast? The cool part was that people didn't want to leave. They wanted to be part of that. It was a hangout now.

Yeah. It went from a show and now it was a hangout now yeah when it went from a show and now it's a hang yeah and that's the that's the one thing everybody from that night uh that stayed will always remember it's like we hung out it was cool all right fluffy well thank you so much uh can't wait to check out the special it was just released i uh i've been uh working non-stop and right after this i'm gonna go check it out right now. Stadium Fluffy, out now on Netflix. Wow, that was so much fun. I love talking and wrestling with them when you're in the studio, Bort.
