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 Bortch, a.k. Bred. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show morning show that you can hear across United States and around the world on the Woody Show podcast. Hello. Today we are joined by our friend Tyler, aka Heavy Tea, aka D.A.T. Yeah. Just real quick. Thank you to everybody that came out to the TCL events at Lazy Dog Restaurant. and the first one being in Downey. That was super fun for Black Friday. We gave away a 98-inch television in person.

I got to see the person that won it. They got to take it home right away. That was super fun. Nice. And then we did it again on Monday, Cyber Monday, and Rancho Kukamonga, which I always forget is so far away

from the radio station. Yeah. Well, especially is really far away during traffic. So it took to be over two plus hours to get there, but I get there right on time. We had a fun event. And thank you for, TCL for hooking us up with another television that we gave away that night. And I was so happy that

the winner won it because they showed up with the old school merch shirt from one of our Christmas parties. So it's fun to see like hardcore fan like that win a prize like that. Oh, for sure. Definitely. And you know what? Speaking to TCL, I was out on Black Friday weekend looking at all the deals at, you know, a bunch of big box stores. And my wife is walking by with me and I'm like, hey, look, it's TCL. They, you know, Menace was giving away these this weekend. And She looked at you. She's like, oh my God, that's huge. Yeah, the 98 inch. It wasn't even the 98 inch. Oh, really? She was looking at the 85 inch. Oh, hold on. No, no, no. That one's the one medescape. She's like, that's a wall. Yeah, it is. Yep. It's cool. Dude, I told everybody at the events, I go, look, even if I had a studio apartment, this would be the TV that I had because it would just take up the wall. It would be cool. Yeah. I like it. Just heads up, the next event to come hang out with me and win prizes will be at the salvation.

Army Thrift Store. They have a new store in Glendale. It's opening December 12th. I'm going to be there from noon to 2 p.m. And it's going to be at 333 North Central Avenue. Again, that is December 12th. It is a Friday. I'll be there from noon to 2 p.m. doing a bunch of giveaways in Glendale, California. So I would hope to see you there. And it's all thanks to the Salvation Army, helping our communities, everybody, helping our communities. But last week, I was off. I mean, I started the week big. I went to F1, Las Vegas. And if you looked at my social media, it was lifetime experience because I got hooked up by Peterson Automotive Museum, who gave me that super ultra VIP pass. I was there with Beyonce. I was there with Jay-Z. Orlando Bloom, the Paul brothers. Maybe that's a burmmer. But, uh,

notice I paused. Yeah, but like, yeah, all the VIP suites, I mean, you can see a whole tour of it. I got to talk to Max for Sappin, one of the best drivers in the world. And if you've been, been following F1, like, this race coming up. Now, this is the only part that sucks about going to Dubai because I'm going to Dubai this weekend, okay? Okay. So Abu Dhabi is the last race this weekend as well. Abu Dhabi is an hour away from Dubai.

This is going to be one of the biggest F1 races in F1 race history, but it's not going to be happening while I'm there. Yeah. So because we're going to be landing at night. And I mean, right when we land, there will still be some like test runs. going on where they practice. It's just the time shift. You're literally missing it in between.

It'll be probably wrapping up by the time I get out of the airport that day. And then the very next day is the big race. So, you know, that part sucks, but guess what? I'm just going to watch it on the plane on Emirates, so that'll be fun. Yeah. I'll enjoy that. But your footage from F1, Las Vegas,

was pretty amazing. Especially the tour. You were just talking about the video on your social media at Menace. The tour, the tour, Holy crap, man. Right at the VIP suites? Every level, every, what would you call it? Experience that every single sponsor did was just next level. The food game.

Dude, people were getting married there. They invited you to their wedding. What? Okay, that's nuts. Yeah, it was fun. It was super fun. Between you and Ray Ami from the K-pop Demon Hunters, you know, a nice follow on Instagram as well.

Yeah. I was seeing just F1 everywhere all weekend. So many celebrities showed up. It was nuts. They were wearing some of the wrong gear, though, because they're not truly fans. A motocross gear at the F1 race, they didn't really understand. But it's fine. You know, maybe they're new to it.

They're just getting into it. Much like Tyler. It's fine. It's fine because as long as they wear the gear, it's more eyes on the product. That's all we care about at the end of the day. Building the brand. Building the brand. Did you see what I put in the group chat that Cadillac, they're starting their F1 team next year?

And where are they debuting their new car? Like, so every team are having events next month across the country. But Cadillac is waiting until the Super Bowl, and that's when they're going to debut their new car during the Super Bowl. So that's smart. That's pretty cool. So they probably feel like a lot of Americans can get behind the Cadillac brand if they're getting into F1. So like a lot of people are like, oh, I want to get into it, but I don't want to seem like, like, I talked about this with Randy. Randy is like, oh, I don't want to feel like I'm just hopping on a train of a good team.

I could be on the ground floor of a team. And a lot of people can do that with Cadillac. Also, Audi's going to have a new team, kind of a new team next year as well. Real quick, how was your guys break? I know that you worked a lot, but did you do anything fun during our Thanksgiving break? Did you go out and about doing anything? You know, I decided to do something for myself. I had between both of my jobs, a grand total of four days in a row off.

It was absolutely glorious. I caught up on much needed sleep. I'm going to be very honest. I drank a lot. It was great. It was nothing but pure vibes. And it was nice to just wake up and be like, I don't have to do a damn thing all damn day.

I really enjoyed seeing that you guys were hanging out with each other while I was out doing my fun stuff and seeing that you guys were having fun as well. I love that. Yes, that day happened. Yes. Yeah. And it was nice seeing Tyler, both of us were off. It was nice for us to actually see each other when we're off.

You know, for me, I did exactly what Tyler did. I got five days off. Whoa. And it was a long haul, and thank you to Tyler for also chipping in, and a lot of behind the scenes people did as well. But I did not have to be here or do anything from Monday through Saturday. Wow. Nice.

Nice experience. I stayed at home. I watched anime. I hung with a little fur. he was talking with a wife, went to a concert, and played Pokemon, because I don't know if you knows, but I'm trying to become the very best like no one ever won. Pokemon Master. Hell yeah, man.

Oh, also, it was weird when I did see Brett on my day off. He was wearing a hat, and I cannot remember a time where I have ever seen Brett wear a hat. He swears. Now, according to him, he swears that I've seen it at least once. Yep. I do not recall this for a fact, and I can tell you exactly when and where you have seen him in a hat. at a brouhaha event

True Oh, that is true with the Lightning McQueen outfit That is true And also We've seen them in Pokemon hat as well I swear I'm seeing that vision

You maybe have Maybe I wasn't there Because I do not remember The funny thing is Okay This is really great Because Tyler says He's never seen me in a hat

Yet when Tyler and I first met There was some major friction Because of an incident If no one's ever heard this If you have heard this forgive me if you not enjoy the story. Tyler's first week on the show, he decided to walk up to Randy when Randy was our video guy in a side room. Ah, yes, yes, of course. And threw down his credit card and said, yo, go downstairs to get me a soda and grab yourself something. And I heard it

from the other room and I went, oh, hell no, he did not just big, big time freaking Randy. Hell no. That's what I do. So I grabbed the card, threw it back at him and said, no, go get your own crap. Don't tell him to get your crap. And so what most people don't know, is that Tyler for that holiday, because Christmas was coming up, he bought me a stone cold Steve Austin, Austin 316 hat. I did. I do remember that. Which I then started wearing, and from that day for the next three, four years,

I was wearing backwards hats almost every single day. For about four years. Yeah. That's weird. Also, I swear I've seen you in a Braves hat at work as well. Also true, because the Braves were in the playoffs, and since I'm not a Dodgers fan, I thought it would be nice for me to represent

and bring a little different color here. So Tyler would lying once again? He constantly lies. I will say, I will say. Constantly. When he wore the Braves hat and when he wore the Stone Cold Steve Austin hat, as far as I can remember,

I was gone for a majority of those. So that's why I don't remember. I'm going, wait, hold on, hold on, one more. Wait, I'm pretty sure there's photos of us getting tattoos together at heart in Huntington and I'm wearing the stone cold Steve Austin hat. Wow. Well, you know what? Then I guess I'm just a pathological liar. Yes. That's what we would say. Do not agree with that. And since we're crapping on this mother effort, guess what he's doing too?

He's toying with my emotions, man. He is messing with me so hard because check this out. Welcome to the club. He does that to be every day. I brought this up on this podcast. I brought this up on the Woody show. And like, you know, we started talking about Tyler's mom's cooking on the Woody Show. and her baking, her baking. And we said, I brought it up because a lot of people in the room are new to her baking, but we are not because we've experienced it. It's glorious and I love it. Right.

But I said, guys, you've got to try this pudding dip layer brownie thing that she makes. It's amazing, right? Bring that up on the air. Yep. Guess what he brings in? Two tubs of chocolate chip cookies. And I go, these are great. But guys, you really got to try this brownie.

pudding dip thing it is bomb yeah during the Thanksgiving break what did this mother effort text me he texts me a photo of the dip that she made oh yeah I was like oh man you mother effort he comes back from break

he brings in some baked goods from his mom guess what it is it's her delicious banana bread yet not the freaking pudding that he texted me over break oh yeah son of a bitch look at that it's still in our group chat Look at that beautiful video, actually, of it swirling with my emotions.

He is a damn dirty bastard. He's gatekeeping the pudding dip. And I show. It's not, it's not gatekeeping. You have to keep it at a distance. So you just don't get tired of it right away. I'm not. I'm just saying the rest of the room hasn't tried it yet.

Just remember when I say this. For you personally, distance makes the heart grow fond of. I got you. You heard it here. I'm wondering how he's going to burn you next time. Like it's going to happen. I'm just wondering how it will happen. Oh, I know how he's going to happen.

Butterfingers over here is going to drop it on the way up to the studio. It could be like the chili bowl in the office episode. Oh, Menace, so just to go back for one second. Man, it's this photo right here. Yeah. Getting tattooed. Yeah, wearing a hat. Oh, wow.

Yeah, hat on my head. Nice. All right. Black Friday deals. Did you guys pick up anything on the Black Friday deals while you're out shopping? I went over by. the desert outlets or by Morango Casino. I mean, dude, it was packed.

It was like two mile line to get in on Black Friday. I didn't go on Black Friday, but I ended up going the next day. It died down a little bit, and I was able to, I used their actually their valet parking. So I paid like 15 bucks, so I didn't have to deal with the parking. Yeah. I did find some deals. Dude, there's a new store there. Bathing Ape is a iconic brand from what I grew up doing radio.

being into street wear and things like that. Oh yeah. They have a store there now. It's the bathing a pirate store. It's freaking awesome. Oh, no kidding. And they have items there that I've never even seen before. And now it's starting to like blow up because people are finding out the stores there.

Because there's not many stores in America for this brand. Over in Japan, there's a ton. It's easy to get, right? Not easy to get in America. And I went there to take advantage of their Black Friday sale. and they didn't have my size shoes that I wanted. This stuff is pretty expensive. They had a sweatshirt I definitely wanted.

The sweatshirt, $400. Don't want it that much. No. But the shoes were semi-affordable, was willing to pay. They just didn't have my size. So it made me sad. That's a smart spot to put it, though. There's a lot of tourists that come in for Los Angeles

and Palm Springs and travel between. That's a very smart spot. I did not do Black Friday proper as it were but I did go to the discount stores like Ross and T.J. Max and that's when Menace, if you're into action figures, that's when they bring out

all the stuff that was a little too expensive at Target all year and Walmart. Oh man. Came up. I came up with a couple things. Yeah, a couple things that were really cheap and dope, some Star Wars stuff, so that was pretty awesome. And yeah, I think that was pretty much it for me.

I didn't, there wasn't anything that really stood out at the major retailers that drew my eye for anything I need. There wasn't really like any video game stuff. There wasn't really any clothing stuff. It was kind of just the same. Yeah, kind of for me. But do you know what we did pick up that was like electronic?

I would say it's electronic or maybe like just a cooking item. The Ninja Crispy. It's basically like a new style air fryer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw that. Yeah, I picked that up at Costco because they slashed the price, time on that one. Tyler, did you get anything? I actually did. So I will go in and say that I got a gift for two of my brothers and I'll explain what it is because they don't listen to this.

So they're not going to hear it. Okay. Yeah, no. So the real support is there. Yeah, I know. Thanks. Thanks. Anyways. So what the company Redell that makes football helmets. So they came out with these new helmets that are not the mini ones, but they're not the full-sized one. They're called MIDI, M-I-D-I. They're basically right in the middle, right? They sell for about a hundred bucks. I picked up two of those on a Black Friday sale, one for each of my brothers who are really into football. And then, of course, you know your boy got a little something, something for me on the side. I picked up another jersey off Mitchell and Ness, thanks to their Black Friday. Oh, nice. Of course. Dude, oh, speaking of buying clothing and stuff like that, I did during Black

Friday order hoodies left and right. And I, yeah, I don't remember ordering them. So, like, When they show up to the station, because I'm definitely not going to the house. When they show up to the station, I'm pleasantly surprise. I'm like, oh, which one is this that I bought? But yeah, they were having really good deals on clothing. But I am in the middle of moving that I mentioned, and, dude, I got to get rid of a lot of clothes. I got to donate a lot of stuff because I have a closet full of stuff that don't even wear. Tyler.

Yes. Can you fit into Menace's clothes? You're getting there, Tyler. You're slimming down. I can. Because Menace's clothing. game is good, man. No, it takes some runoff.

Dude, I got a ton of stuff, like brand new stuff that I never even worn. It is great. But on that note, I also have looked through my closet lately and was like, I don't wear half this crap. I need to get rid of it. Just donate it, like Salvation Army or something, you know? Yeah, you know what? There's a place to donate them about 10 minutes from my house.

I have two full trash bags ready to go. I've just been really lazy and haven't done it yet. Okay. Come on, man, get that tax right off now. This is the season to get it. And you know what? I'd like to make a personal note real quick. And now that you mentioned Salvation Army again,

this is Christmas. They got the red buckets outside of everywhere. Donate your loose change people. Don't be stingy. Yes. They are the nicest people to donate to. I got to admit, they're always smiling.

You're not going to give your change to Santa? You're getting cool. Don't be like that. Is it bad that when I'm at Ross and T.J. Max now and Marshalls and all that stuff, when I'm looking at the shoe game. So most of my shoes come from there now. I'm getting vans from there. Oh, nice.

Like the flame ones that I wear. Like I have some Disney high tops. I haven't worn yet from Vance. But now, when I go through, I usually kind of look for menace. I don't know if you'll be offended by this, though, because every single time I see the hokas, I just think about you, and they're cheap.

Dude, size 11. I will, I'll let you know. The one that you took the picture of, you showed me a picture right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was looking for those ones. No, really? Yeah, size 11, let me know.

I'll Venmo you. Okay, all right. Cash app, whatever. Or Zelle, whatever you do. I may have you look for me as well. Yeah. Okay, all right. Those paws are barking.

know what I'm saying? All right. I'll remember 11. Big boy got big paws. Yeah. Well, I do want to talk about that. Tyler, you're looking slimmer. How's that journey going with you?

Because I want to share some stuff. Yeah. So had another checkup at the doctor. So I don't know if I've made this announcement lately. When I first went in or I got diagnosed as basically type 2 diabetic. Yeah, the diabetes. They told me it had to beat us. So your A1C number has to be at six or below.

right mine was that i think 10.9 so it was way up there yeah so i had to bring it down i am glad to say that in the 18 months i have brought it down all the way to about a 5.7 nice so thank you thank you so it's a lot better and even now i've gone to the docks and he's like you've definitely lost weight blah blah blah blah blah so i will say when i first started all this i was at about 350-ish, give or take about 3.48. I am now down to about 304. Sweet, dude. We are only four pounds away from being under 300, a weight that I have not been under

since 2017, give or take about eight years. Wow. So it'll be pretty cool when we hit it. It'll probably be after the holidays because I love me some holiday food, but we will get there. I'm really happy that you're doing this because there's options out there now. you know like before everyone's like oh you know if you just like really just eat vegetables and you hit the gym every single day it'll work out for you dude you can still do that and still things won't

happen for you you know like it's it's tough and then there's help i mean i'm not saying you shouldn't do that you should absolutely do that you should work out you should eat right but there are things that could help you and i've been talking about that for over a year and a half now and then i'm happy to announce that I finally found somebody that I can hook up with and like just share how you can go through this process of getting like a semi-glutide or a terseptide. Tyler, which one are you on? I am still on Manjaro. That is what we were going on right now. Okay.

So that's a semi-glutide. So people always ask me like, oh, what's the process because of like getting prescribed for that? Is it expensive? All that kinds of stuff. So I've been talking this company for a long time and now we're finally working together. It's called Lasara, L-A-S-A-R-A-A-D-com, and it's a telehealth. So anybody listening to this anywhere in the country, they could go to lasara.com, and they will help you figure out what you need to help you go through a process of losing weight. I'm down 65 pounds.

Nice. It's awesome. So also, on top of that, speaking of getting hooked up and discounts, they did give me my own promo code. It's Menace 20, M-E-N-A-C-E-20. And just go to the website, Lasara. Just fill out the information. You can do this from your house. You don't have to go to a doctor's office to figure it out.

They'll walk you through the process if that's something that you want to be a part of. And it sucks because this is the part that I want to bring up. There's so many friends and family that I want to talk to about this. But I feel like they might be offended if I go straight up to them and say, hey, I kind of have something that will help you. Do you think they would be offended by that? Because I've had two conversations with friends. They're my really, really good friends, so I know they wouldn't be offended by it. But there are some people that we don't really have those type of conversations.

But I know this can help them. Sometimes I think you have to offend them to get them to realize that there is an issue. And this could be anything in life, right? And because you care and you want them to have help. Because a lot of people say, I'm going to try to do this. I'm going to try to do like you were saying before. I'm going to try to exercise. I'm going to try to eat.

Right, I'm going to try to do this. And then you see them not course correcting and it's getting worse and you have real concerns for them. And there's something that can help no matter what that is in life. Again, sometimes you just have to be bold and say, hey, this is something I think could help you. I really see this as an issue. And I just want to help. Yeah. And they need that.

Because otherwise, they just go, oh, okay, I'll try it later. I'll do it later. I'll try this other thing instead. And no, you have to go this route. When it comes to bigger issues, if you're not offending them, you're not really caring if that makes sense. Like I know that sounds kind of messed up. If you're afraid to offend them maybe? Yeah.

There is afraid. But if you really care about someone, you're going to bring up like the uncomfortable topics. Like, hey, look. And you're not trying to. You're not trying to. You just have to. It's because of the fear of offending them that you have to be bold and blunt at times and just speak the truth from how you're seeing it because you have concern for them.

And you know what? If they do get offended, they might come back to you later and go, you know what? I had to take a look in the mirror. And this is a actually take a look at the mirror and go, you know what? You're right. There's something I need help with. And let me listen to what you have to say now. Because her first reaction is to get upset.

And then after that, then they'll come back and listen. And I've had to do with that with friends over the years too. Yeah, because I just see it. I'm just like, I know there's this thing because in 2024, I talk about this, you know, because these Lassara commercials are running now to let people know. And in the commercial, I talk about, 2024, everybody does it. The beginning of the year, all right, new year, new me. I'm going to hit the gym.

And, dude, I was in that gym every single day, man. And, like, eating right and, like, stuff was just not happening. I suggest still work out, but they're just, like, things that can just help ramp up. Your body has changed. Yeah. A lot of the... Not as easy. Yeah.

A lot of the chemicals that flow through, you have changed. Your age has changed. So therefore your body doesn't work the same way. Your muscles don't work the same way. You got to go forward. Whatever it is, you're not going back. You're going forward. So, you know, if you need help with something like this that can help,

you're going to take it and you're going to move forward and you're going to become a better version of yourself. I know. Dude, I saw one of our listeners at the Cyber Monday event with TCL. Yeah. She's like, I started taking semi-glutide. I'm down 40 pounds. Nice.

Like nothing. There you go. Yeah, it's insane. And again, I didn't really change up my diet too crazy. I just eat less. That's all. And I'm like, why couldn't my brain just do that before? You know, like everything was just so much. Like, again, I love Raising Canes. I go to Raising Canes, but now I get the kids meal and I'm fine, you know? And I'm like, why couldn't my brain just do that before? Because we get set in our ways and we have self-pride and we have a lot of things that keep us from doing what we know is easier, what we know is best, or what we think is right. But my brain's saying like, oh, you're full, you're good. You've had enough food to eat. But my brain before is just like, dude, you just finished two combos and you want more. That's what I'm going at. That's self-pride because I crush this much food because I spent this amount and I could crush this much food and this is what I've done before and I can handle this and I know I can put this down and still walk away from it.

No, you got to get rid of that self-pride and know I need to have portion control. And portion control isn't a bad thing because, dude, man, you go to a buffet. You're like, I'm going to slam down four plates right now. Yeah. Because that's how tough I am. I know. My buddy, he's really into this dumpling spot. I had no idea that they do this.

But in Vegas at Hakasan, they do a thing where they have a Sunday brunch and it's just endless dumplings, right? And my buddy would crush a buffet, okay? Yeah. Crush. I'm talking mountains of food. Yes. And he goes, now I feel like I don't even beat the house anymore because now he's on, semi-glutide and he's he's down a ton of weight.

Right. Because he goes, now I feel bad because now I don't feel like I'm winning. Right. He goes, I feel good that I weigh a lot less, but that whole beating the system because I paid this amount of money. Yes. And I got to eat this amount of food. He goes, now I don't even want to go to that spot.

I'll just go to a regular dumpling spot. Right. And that's where the pride comes in, especially with cost and worth and money because you're spending your time and your money on something. It's just like when you need to eat. healthier options. You're like, well, this is three bucks more. But I could do this. It's cheaper. It's like, but this is the better thing to do. Even though it's, again, portion control and the type of food. But yeah, man, sometimes you just have to be this bold with your friends

and family. And it sucks because you don't want to, but you might be pleasantly surprised because maybe they'll go, you know what, I did need the help. And I just didn't want to. Yeah, and I just didn't know how to do it. That was the number one thing when I've been talking about this for the past year of being on this stuff is the number one thing is I don't know how to start I don't know what to even say to my doctor or even what to ask for and so now we have a solution for that so shout out to lasar thank you for partnering up in just helping out people on that kind of stuff I do want to ask you though about 2026 I'm going to give you a minute to think about it because I'm springing on you is there anything out there in 2026 that you want to do have events already popped up

Because a lot of concerts or events or just things that are happening are already selling tickets now for 2026, right? Yeah. A huge thing got announced. I'm ripping out for this. Burke Kreischer, a buddy. Did you see what he's doing during the Daytona 500? He's having a music festival with Diplo. Oh, nice.

And Leonard Skinner. Oh, yes. I did see that. Ernest and a huge barbecue and just a good old time in the middle of the track. That is going to be on February 14th in Daytona. You can go to full throttle festival.com. Tickets go on sale in a couple of days. But that looks super fun.

That is definitely on my 2026 bucket list. Hold on for a second. Did you say the date of that is February 14th? Yes. So you're telling me that I can be in Florida. Yep. With Burke Kreischer and Diplo, eating some sick barbecue. Yeah.

Watching the greatest race. This great, beautiful, God-made fearing country has to offer. Well, the race is the next day, but yes. Thank you. Keep going. But the point is that I can also find sweet, sweet love on this weekend because it is Valentine's Day week. Yes, you can. I will be there.

Sign me up. And if Tyler had a type of girl, it would be a NASCAR girl. Oh, dude. Dog. Do you have checkered flags, bro. Hell yeah, bro. So that's definitely on my list. I want to see some. Read his speech list.

No, I'm trying not to detour the conversation. Medicine knows I'm about to derail it and I can. No, no. I'm staying on point. Yeah, I want to do that. Next year, definitely going back to Japan. Got to do it, man. Love Japan.

Fort, can you make me a promise for 2026? Maybe. I know you absolutely love, love, love, love being off the grid. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to be more off the grid. You have no idea. But can we get a passport in 2026? Is that in the cards?

To do like a rando trip somewhere, maybe Japan. Sorry, this is going to be a Tyler-like comment. Does it have to be a legal passport? I don't know. It would be a fake name. I'm sure Santa Fe swap meet. They know people. I'm not saying it's happening there, but they know somebody that knows somebody

away from the meat. I'm not saying I had one, but someone may have showed me a COVID card years ago, but like, hey, here you go. So I could consider it. All right. I'll put that much. I would consider it for only one thing, and that is the great country of Japan. Yes.

Yeah. Nothing else. No other country, just Japan. Yeah, Japan's on my list. But I may not come back. That's the problem. Well, yeah. We'll figure something out.

Yeah, baby. Tyler, do you have anything on your list for 2026? So I do. And surprise, surprise. They're all sports related. So this is what I've been looking at. Yeah. Yeah, this is what I've been looking at.

The baseball tour will continue at some point this next. this next year. And on that note, real quick, I was just made aware the other day that I did not post the recap of me going to the Cincinnati Red Stadium. I'm going to be perfectly honest. I had completely forgotten about that. Wow.

That is my bad. All these promises. That is my bad. So many lies. I will get to that during the Christmas break. I think I just got so swamped with work and I started taking on a little bit more responsibility at both jobs. So I'm just like,

you know what, I got to focus on that and I just completely escaped my mind. So I will get that during the Christmas break. I will have that posted. That is number one. But number two. So we are already looking and we, when I say me, I mean me and my fandom. Don't get any ideas, Brett, because I know what you're thinking. I am already looking at another baseball stadium tour and it is going to either be me doing the stadiums in the southeast, which would be Miami, Tampa, Atlanta, and then hitting Dallas on the way back. Or, finishing off the Western stadiums, which would be Arizona, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco. So that is going to happen.

One of those two trips is going to happen. Now, the other thing. Yeah. Real quick. Can we try next year to do Toronto? Now, I would be down to do Toronto. I think it would be cool for us to go. Like, people wouldn't hate on us because they lost to the Dodgers anyway.

So who cares? Because I really want to stay in that stadium where you could watch the game from the hotel room. I say we do that. That'd be fun. I would be totally down to do that as a one-off. And that would help me knock out another stadium, actually. If I actually knock out Toronto and then one of the group of four that I mentioned, I would be halfway done. So we'll cross that virtual and conto.

But yeah, I'll make it down for that. But the other thing I really want to do, I have looked ahead to the Falcon's schedule for next year, because this season is a watch, and they disappointed me greatly. Surprise. Next year. They have two away games at two stadiums in two cities that I absolutely love. One of them is in Pittsburgh. I would love to go back to Pittsburgh.

And the other one is in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I would love to go to either one of these home games, potentially both. And because I'm a sicko and I'm a psycho, I am praying that both of these games are somewhere between December and January. Oh, I was about to say, I'll go with you to Wisconsin because I've never been. but I'm trying to be in no snow dog. You know what I'm trying to. He's done that before.

He's done that before. That's a nah for me. But if it is, if it is earlier than in the year, I do still plan on going by all means, please join. Oh yeah, I would love that.

I mean, Pittsburgh too. I mean, I love going in Pittsburgh, but I've just never been to Wisconsin. And that's like an iconic. Wisconsin's dope, dude.

Yeah. A lot of beer, a lot of cheese skirts. Yeah, stadium. So that'd be fun. Oh my God. What if you guys could do a little mini tour,

right? go to Green Bay. Okay. Menace and the Safari Boys, hit Green Bay, and then go over to Pittsburgh. And it's Menace and the Safari Boys hang out with Aunt Chrissy. That would be amazing. But is Randy even a Safari boy anymore? Is he even down to do anything?

So he is down because he is the one that originally pointed out that Atlanta was going to Green Bay. And knowing that Randy is a diehard Packers fan, it was his idea to create this trip. Because he used to be right or die to, like, go do anything. And it's kind of harder to get to get him to do anything these days. I will give Randy this. I do understand that it is hard to get him to commit to anything. But he is so much so, he is so much more focused on work nowadays. I got no choice but to respect it.

He's actually focused on work. Yeah, nowadays. That sounds so much worse than it has to be. He's changed, man. He's actually focused on his job. He cares now. The job he has now, I think. he's actually in charge of people this time.

He has salary. He's doing all this stuff. What the heck? Good on for him, man. The man's moving up. Randy became me. He's off the grid now. That's so crazy.

Brett, do you have anything on the table for 2026? Yeah, these are on the smaller scale because, you know, wrestling, I've seen a lot of wrestling. I'm happy. Most of the bands that I like, they don't really announce their tours until the start of the year. So I really don't know what's coming through. but on the smaller scale one movie is coming out next year that I need to see that's on the buckles

The Mandalorian and Grogo Will be in theaters Thank you Disney And coming to Los Angeles I think in June It's a convention called NostalgiaCon And they've been touring around the country The last couple years

And they bring upon pretty much anything and everything from the 90s and 2000s that you were a fan of And that could be musicians, voice actors And a couple voice actors that I'm a fan of. They're coming to Los Angeles for Nostalgia Khan in June.

So that's actually what I'm excited for. Nice. I kind of want to meet these guys because the last time I really went to a con and met a voice actor that I really wanted to was the voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy. And he passed away a couple years ago, and I was so glad I got to meet him. I'm like, you know, maybe I should go meet a couple more of these people that were the voices of my childhood before they're gone. So, yeah, that's it for me. All right. That sounds super fun.

Yeah. Okay. I'm going to do a little bit of food news. We are here really late today because, you know, our days are getting a little bit longered as we add more stations like 1057 the point. Shout out. You. St. Louis, Missouri.

Afternoons. If you're listening in the afternoon, also, if you're in St. Louis, Missouri, once again, shout out to hot shots, hot shots. You can't pick up a Menace Burger or a Woody Burger and enjoy yourself on that one. Also, I'm so happy to hear. here this place now tyler we've got to take you to st louis man because there's this place called kenricks it's basically like a butcher shop but it also has like pre-cooked stuff that you can see it right there dude it is glorious look up kenricks i think they um i think they ship uh meats but i don't know i believe they do they do yeah it is bomb i've let's see i love have kenricks

meats and catering okay so i'm on the website i've already pulled up there uh they're they're menu, their meat market. Uh-huh. And I see special sections. Ready to grill and bake. Homemade deli meats. Meat packages. I'm already sold it.

I haven't even seen a single picture. I'm already sold. Now, I know you have been to St. Louis, but you didn't really have that much time there. I think we need to take you there and take you around town. I think it's another city that is very Tyler-centric. To say the least, yeah. Yeah, for real. You would enjoy it.

All right. Here's my food news. Food news. Hard Moundoo. right? Yes. I know we had a lot of drama over that in the past. Oh, yeah. Hard Mound Duh, they did this thing for the holidays where they have a drinkable card that you could send somebody. Oh, what? Or give somebody, yeah. And today is the last day that you can order it, but it's basically a card that like unfolds and you can drink out of it and try some of the hard Moundu. Tyler, if you never want me to bring up the Hard Mound and Do incident in Vegas ever again. Order it today. Order it. Order it.

Day, December 3rd. Hopefully I have this podcast out enough time. People hear it. Yes, but actually order it. Don't do what you did with Julianne's daughters, like Girl Scout cookies or whatever it was or the popcorn and not order it. Actually order it. You know what I say?

And I'll say it again. F them kids, dude. Wow. So the official website is holiday cancards. com. pick that up at the beer shop when you're in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, because they have a thing called the beer shop.

Because they sell alcohol separately. Oh, yes, that's right. They have it separate. Then stores, yeah. Go ahead. So, I looked at the website. It says out of stock. Ah, damn. All right, well, I just wasted everybody. It's okay. I still think it's fun. And you know what? We got to talk about

Hard Moundo because there's all these different flavors, Hard Moundu, and the one that I'm waiting to see. I know they announced it. I haven't seen it in stores yet, but they have the code red. Oh, hard? Yes. Oh.

Yep. They announced it. I haven't seen it yet. Every gamer on the planet is getting hammered now. That's what we need. Ever since they took away the diet code red, we've been hurting. Okay, this is the one that we can take back.

And we can be okay with the amount of sugar that we're about to drink. I want to say this once, and I'm going to say this one time only, hard mountain dude, not a sponsor, but should be. Yeah, true. Right. Hell yeah. Kris cream debuts, first. ever Peanuts

Collab. Now, Snoopy, my thing is, I want to bring this up here, and I've never done this before. Snoopy. Yes. I personally have never gotten into Snoopy.

Really? I don't know why. I just don't really have an attachment to it at all. I know Snoopy's big. Snoopy actually had a collab in the merch store at F1. By the way, the merch store line to get in at F1, like the official hub,

which was, it was inside the Venetian, three and a half hour line to get in, right? They had a big huge Snoopy F1 collab section and then also they had the Disney collab section

because Disney is launching in 2026 as well with F1. But when I saw the Snoopy stuff, it kind of looked cool but I just, I don't know, I never got into it. Are you guys down with Snoopy or not? Snoopy had a big, big resurgence

in the 90s for us, especially in South Carolina, with Knott's. Nott's was taking off here, but there was like, I think a cartoon that was on CBS at the time. And I remember just seeing Snoopy everywhere. So Snoopy was bigger than Mickey Mouse to me, bigger than Disney, bigger than anything else. Yeah. So I was a huge fan of Snoopy back in the day. Tyler's Snoopy head? Snoopy kind of rules, man. Knock on line. Yeah. Yeah, man. It was really, I just can't remember what actually instigated it, but Snoopy was everywhere for me when I was a kid everywhere.

Yeah, I just, I don't know, just never got into it. That's funny, because isn't Charles Schultz, like, there's a museum up near the Bay Area for Snoopy and the Peanuts game. See, that's how much I'm not into it. I don't even know that. Oh, damn, yeah. I think it's in Bay Area or Sacramento, one of those, too. Well, didn't know.

The other food news, one last thing for Tyler, there is the Texas Pickle Festival that is happening in November of next year, so get prepared. The Texas Pickle Festival? Yeah. Are you all in or all out? Hard pass. Thank you. He's anti-pickle.

Yeah, he only sniffs them. Ah, ha, ha, ha. All right, everybody. Yeah, we're here super late and I don't want to keep anybody later. But thank you so much for listening to this podcast. Please rate and review it. We'll get the whole game back together like Randy and Julianne and Eric once our schedules aligned, but we wanted to put out a podcast.
