What's new? What's new with Menace?
What's up everybody? Welcome to another edition of What's New Pod.
I'm Menace. I'm joined by Bort, a.k.a. Brett.
He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the witty show boring show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN.
We're also joined by our friends from Downey, California.
That'll be Randy and Eric.
Eric is here today at the start of the pod,
even though, you know, we're on a countdown
if the baby's going to be here any minute now.
That would be nice.
Yeah.
Also, joining us from Whittier, California,
is our buddy Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T.
And just over yonder in Covina, California, would be our friend Julian.
What's up, Julian?
Hi.
How you doing?
Good, good, good.
I didn't know if you were going to be on the pod or not.
It's basically overdue now on the baby, right?
Yeah, I mean, I didn't either.
I mean, any minute now.
It would be nice if it was like in the next couple minutes.
Dude, yeah.
That would be amazing.
If it broke during the pod, it would rule.
Oh my God,
can we get a live reaction to this?
You know,
you're anticipating,
you're waiting,
you're waiting,
you're anxious.
So like over the last two weeks,
we've like been thinking about,
is he coming on Mother's Day?
That'll be funny.
Is he coming when I have a hockey game?
Like I have to leave the hockey game
in the middle
because she waves me down
and it's like,
oh,
Josh Allen's birthday was the other day.
Is he coming on Josh Allen's birthday?
Like,
oh,
is he going to hit the bullseye, become right on the due date?
So now we'll do this one, okay?
Is he going to come during the podcast and have to run away and say,
I'll talk to you later?
Whatever the comedic punchline is, we just need it to happen.
Yeah, for sure.
Well, hopefully that will be happening soon.
A big topic of last episode was tyler's new girlfriend
yeah i mean i kind of figured that would be a big topic
tyler we're happy for you yeah we were all happy for you and i just want to know
did your girlfriend get a chance to listen to the last episode and does she have any comments
about it she's listened to part of it i don't think she listened to the full episode oh wow is that bad she only wants to hear about herself she's she's
been busy with work she's transitioning from one job to another oh so she's like she's in like that
funky period where you're working like two jobs on the same day i asked what she does for a living
oh she uh works over at starbucks but she she's transitioning right now to work over the grocery business.
Nice.
Wow.
Get part of the union.
Get some benefits.
That's another thing.
I like that.
Food.
Where the food at?
Where the food at?
Another thing that her and Tyler have in common.
Because remember, that's where his nickname Fluffer came from, was a grocery business.
Oh, my God.
I had actually forgotten about that nickname.
Yeah, okay.
From what she heard, did she say anything?
She actually laughed.
She thought it was all pretty funny.
So, I mean, because everything I said was like about how we met and everything.
She was just laughing at like your guys' reaction because it's all completely true.
So, yeah, she's just just she just had a really good time
with it okay a follow-up question has she listened to the podcast prior to this to find out anything
about your secret private life or we're gonna drop the news about her existence yeah i'm trying to
remember i don't think she had really listened to it before we met and then she started to listen
a little bit like i told her it's like well nobody knows about you
really so it's not gonna come up at all and then you know the weekend at coachella is when i told
menace and he's like okay we're gonna have to bring this up so it's funny because like when
we were there at coachella i texted her i was like so menace knows and she just responded like oh my
god yeah but then the waiting game because then we didn't even drop podcast for weeks after that
that that was the wild thing yeah there was like a solid three-week gap where we were just all super
busy and couldn't get together uh so i told her i was like okay like it's probably gonna be the
next podcast when that's gonna be i do not know but it'll probably be the next one well sure enough
it was literally the next one so well it's out there if you want to hear all about his new girlfriend and how they met listen to the previous episode you use um i'm
podcast famous as an opening line on your profile i did not actually quickly did you say i'm on a
podcast i get flown out to vegas yeah and you know what the funny thing is is that like so when i was
working for the show and everything i would mention that fairly quick i don't know like when i started talking to her i don't think i mentioned
it for at least maybe like the first two or three weeks well she didn't need to because she saw
my instagram post so she knew yeah so hello she already I guess. I didn't even really think about that.
That's true, I guess.
I mean, like, I had just not really said anything just because it didn't really come up.
I did not even put two and two together.
All right.
Well, I can't wait for more adventures.
Some more insight on your relationship, Tyler.
It's going to be a fun ride.
That's what i'm looking for
podcast i'm excited for is the first one we have when eric is a daddy like oh yeah that's gonna be
a freaking trip eric like i can't wait feeding the kid as i'm recording be a daddy with no sleep
i can't wait oh yeah eric's gonna look. Finally, we'll be better looking than him.
Yeah.
Yes.
Dad body coming.
You got this, Eric.
You got it.
I would like to dip, though, back into Tyler's past because next week I'll be going to the great state of Texas.
While I was there, you know, why not go to a Mavericks game?
You know, the Mavericks are hot right now.
I went to go look at tickets, and Jesus H, guys.
Like, it's either buy a home in Texas or go see the Mavericks in Texas, right?
Yeah, you're going during the playoffs.
Like, if it was just a regular season home game, you'd probably sneak in.
But, yeah, you're going in, and they're actually doing pretty well right now.
Yeah.
It's the Western Conference Finals, so, so like the winner of this goes to the nba
final so yeah yeah i looked up the cost of the tickets you know to get nearby not court side
just near the court go from six thousand to twenty two thousand dollars yeah honestly that
sounds about right i mean compared to the lakers at their prime, it's not too bad, but still. Again, we've talked about this before.
Just the price of basketball is just off the charts.
You said $22,000?
$22,000.
I mean, that's-
And you're not courtside for $22,000.
I'm going, it would be for game four on a Tuesday.
Oh, a possible clinching game considering they're up 1-0?
Yeah, that kind of makes sense.
Dude, F basketball.
Get out there and go to a Stars playoff game. stars are right in the western conference finals too yeah it'll
be way more fun for you if anybody's listening and they're in or around dallas tell me some spots
to hit up at menace m-e-n-a-c-e on social media but here's a here's another thing guys we said
at the end of the last podcast we're going to talk about the nfl schedule that dropped
the previous day and is there any games on your radar that came up that you're interested in going
to i looked at some i'm going to throw them out there you see if you agree so for tyler it kind
of looks like for the falcons you only have the raiders game that's happening on December 16th in Vegas are you in or out for that uh I'll
be honest I booked my hotel the day that the schedule came out wow but that's pretty much it
for you right uh yeah but that's fine I mean I mean that's a great game to go to yeah the Falcons
are so far east coast if they come out west it's once for the season so like i'm fine with you know them
being in this general direction but i was looking at it and i was like okay this game's gonna be
week 15 so it's right before christmas it's my team in vegas so the way i'm spinning this this
is happy birthday to me since my birthday's at the end of happy birthday christmas yeah are you
taking us with you you got yeah honestly if you guys want to come along you are more than welcome
to i doubt doubt Eric will because
he will have a child with his first Christmas, so I doubt
he'll show up. Oh yeah, plus he's also
working the NFL, so he wouldn't be able to go anyway.
Peak season. Yeah, but
for Eric, I did see, what about
Rams versus
the Bills on December 8th?
December 8th, it'll be the game right after
Leanne and my mother's birthday,
so we can spin that if we're looking at ways to spin and justify spending money.
Yeah.
You know, we might have some hookups so far.
Definitely going to be going to that game.
Anything else on the schedule that looks exciting to you?
There is one other game.
It's not even necessarily for me.
It's for my brother.
So my brother is a diehard New Orleans Saints fan, which is kind of ironic because them and the Falcons are arch rivals.
But they do come to SoFi, I believe, to play the Chargers.
So I was hitting on my brother.
I was like, OK, we're going to we're going to try and go to this game because I'd actually be a lot of fun.
I plan on being at a lot of Chargers games this year.
The one game that I was looking at actually back in dallas is the cowboys
versus the chargers i want to go to jerry's world and uh that would be i think august 26th that's a
saturday game so the chargers have a huge first game this season they play the raiders at home
that's kind of crazy i know division rival game off the bat like that and then they don't play
the raiders again and in vegas until the last game the season. I have a lot of friends from the Bay asking for plug on the Chargers for that game already
out the gate versus the Raiders.
It's good.
It's always, it's a good game to get going.
New Jim Harbaugh, new in town, see what he's going to be doing.
And you know, if they can pull that win out, that's a big statement win to start his career.
But if they lose, it's gonna be a tough sell.
Yeah, for real.
But I mean, who does the Raiders have on their quarterback right now oh god i think it's gardner
minshu gardner minshu aiden o'connell um they did they just draft somebody no they didn't get to
and then i think jimmy g is jimmy g in vegas still no no no he got blown on jimmy g got roasted
at the tom brady rose And it was by Robert Kraft.
He goes like, I hear, Tom, you're looking to be part owner of the Raiders,
and they've already done one of your favorite things.
Get rid of Jimmy G.
Oh, my God.
That's good.
That's right.
Oh, actually, you will be able to see Jimmy G.
He is backing up Matt Stafford on the Rams.
No way.
Are you serious?
He got a job again?
I had no idea that's where he went.
No one talked about that. He is fire. I got a job again that's where he went yeah no one talked
about that he has fire i mean that's a good looking quarterback room it actually is so he's
if he's starting he's one of the worst starters in the league but if he's backup he's one of the
best backups in the league because i mean the backups are pretty bad he needs his rest i'm interested in seeing okay was it denver or was it russell wilson that was that bad
that season see what he's gonna do with the steelers any predictions on that well i mean
played all right without him towards the end of the year hmm yeah it's also uh it's also falcon
steelers week one i think they're going to whoop Russell's ass.
Wow.
Oh, God, that would be great.
I would love for that to be their only one of the season for the Steelers,
just to see that fall apart, but then have that hang over your head. Be like, dang, dude, the Steelers sucked, but they beat the Falcons week one.
Yeah, right, Tyler?
No, I don't need that because our old coach, Arthur Smith, who was fired,
he is now the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh.
So I need this win.
I need this win.
And then I can screenshot and send out
all the Arthur Smith salacious
texts that Tyler sent out over the years.
I'm like, damn, dude. And then he beat you guys.
Nice.
I love how Eric saves them all. That's good.
Also, a big announcement that the
NFL Draft 2026
will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Eric, do you go out for the draft or no?
Or Randy?
No, I didn't get sent out for the draft.
Oh, okay.
You're just going to have to go this time because most likely we'll be there because of our radio station.
105.1 The X in Pittsburgh.
I mean, that would just be a reason to go there.
We're actually
going to be going to pittsburgh pretty soon too so that'd be fun and if there's opportunity for
you to go we can burg out together dude we can get some hoagies and go to the grocery store and
use our buggies it'll be around hand yeah we can do it we can do all that all right let's talk
about something bork cares about deadpool wolverine you can buy tickets right now you can buy tickets i have already purchased tickets the movie gets officially released
let's see on july 26th i bought tickets for the 25th 26th is a friday but you can see it on
thursday and of course i think i'll be out of town that day on a Friday. So I'm going to see it Thursday. Nice. I'm excited for it. All the trailers that have dropped and all the integrations
already have been awesome. I've watched that first trailer so many damn times. It's like a little
pick me up some days. I'm like, oh yeah, we're actually going to have a good comic book movie
again. We were talking on the last podcast on how Tyler has become such a movie buff. Is this a movie that you're excited about, Tyler?
Or are you still more excited for Twisters?
Okay, okay, okay.
I will admit, from personal preference, I am more excited for Twisters.
What?
However, however, however, I am very, very excited for Deadpool.
Thank you. I am very, very excited for Deadpool because if there's two dudes who probably played the best comic book character, it's those guys.
It's Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds.
They are perfect for their comic book characters.
So I'm really excited for this movie.
Plus, I get to see Wolverine swear again.
Nice.
And it also looks as fun as that first Deadpool.
I love the second Deadpool second Deadpool got pretty serious but uh that first one was just so zany and out there this
one looks just the same yeah it's good yeah I like it now you're into that kind of stuff right
Julianne you'd be into it but oh yeah big time me and Kevin mostly Kevin but yeah are you even able
to go outside during that time because if people't know, they're just tuning into this episode for the first time.
Julianne is also pregnant. What's your due date?
Well, I'm supposed to be induced June 14th, but she's not going to make it that far.
I'm already having contractions and she's head down.
So she's going to come probably within the next one to two weeks.
Oh, damn.
It's a race. Baby race.
Wow.
I know. It is.
Two babies at the same time, damn. It's a race. Baby race. Wow. I know. It is. Two babies at the same time, dog.
You know, I was having contractions yesterday, and I'm like,
wouldn't that be something if me and Leanne had the baby on the same day?
You guys could be holding hands in the delivery room.
I know.
I know.
Co-birthdays.
And then we could live stream it, both of us, the same time.
Like, who do yeah look at and then eric and you can
have a ceremony after the birth on when your two babies get married so you trade a goat or something
like that yeah i should get the most i have the girl oh yeah true that she's gonna produce more
offspring of his name right yeah true so yeah, what do you have to offer up?
Randy.
No, thank you.
I'll find someone else then.
But no, I was just looking up times myself
on when I can go see that movie.
And I'll probably be having to watch it
on Thursday, July 25th as well
because I leave on the 26th to go on to my cruise for my 40th birthday.
Oh, yeah.
That's why I couldn't go to the cruise because I'm going to be out of town as well.
I know.
You're ditching me, so whatever.
But, yeah, so I'll probably watch that movie on the 25th.
Sweet.
I'm excited.
Nice.
Other things that are going on, just want to shout out again.
I do it no justice.
I've talked about it for like two months straight on this podcast cosm cosm.com c-o-s-m right next to sofi stadium right next to eric's work by the
way this place is absolutely amazing they're gonna have their first event it's a ufc event you can
watch ufc basically ringside inside this thing june 29th it is next level think of the las vegas sphere but better you're
like sitting inside a vr headset just go to the website see what i'm talking about cosm.com if
you love some ufc and you just want to experience this new venue they're also opening one up in
dallas i keep on talking about dallas tons a lot of Dallas shoutouts. More news coming soon about that.
But if you want to talk about tickets,
did you guys see that the Department of
Justice, the U.S. government,
has filed a lawsuit against
Ticketmaster saying
that they have a monopoly
on tickets and all these fees and
all that kind of stuff and they want them
to break up and have more competition.
But if they just break up and have different ticket websites aren't they just still owned by the same
people because we know companies like that where it's like such and such presents but they're
really just a smaller company of a bigger company yeah we know a few companies like that yeah so
i don't know will it even do anything my My thing is, like, the fees, dude.
Like, seriously, they're just out of control.
You see a decent ticket price,
and then they're already tacking on an extra $150, $200,
and just fees alone.
Yeah, that's where those all-in ticket prices come in handy
for Ticketmaster and Live Nation and stuff,
which, again again if they really
split up are they going to lower their fees whatsoever are they going to keep having deals
or they'd be like well we're quote-unquote losing business so we need to up it or do we just continue
going to that what was that website that tyler told us about menace you were sending me a couple
game time yeah what i like about game time which tyler highlighted is it does give you the whole
total when you click on it so like when you click on a seat and go you see the total price like
that's gonna be the checkout price with game time yeah i bought two tickets to an angels game
a couple weeks ago we sat behind home plate. I paid $122 for two tickets.
No way!
That's awesome.
Dirt cheap, dude.
That's legit.
Well, that's just because your team sucks.
Yeah, I was going to say, part of that is definitely because the Angels suck.
But, I mean, yes.
Demand for the ticket, you know.
You're 100% correct.
However, like I said, game time gives me the grand total.
Before I even think about putting in my credit card, it gives me the grand total with fees,
which is life-changing, honestly, because I cannot tell you how many times when I was
younger, you go to Ticketmaster or whatever, oh, this seat, kind of like Benis mentioned
just a minute ago, oh, this seat is like $35.
That's cool.
Why are they charging me $150?
Like, what the hell is going on?
I know.
It's so weak.
So stupid. bucks that's cool why are they charging me 150 like what the hell is going on i know it's so weak so stupid it also reminds me i know this is not a new topic and it gets covered a lot
but it's fresh in my mind because i just went to vegas the past three weekends tipping stuff man
it's just everywhere everywhere everything's a tip yeah like just the little kiosk at burbank airport like if i wanted
some gum oh yeah i asked for a tip i refuse all of that every single spot i go to in las vegas
it's just tip tip tip and then also when you go to the atm the atm fees obviously in vegas
at a casino 8.99 to pull out some cash.
When is it going to end?
I mean, when is it going to be the pushback?
People don't, because they don't want to be that person that goes zero tip.
Oh, I do it.
I do it every single time.
And you know why?
When they start looking at me and they give me that look, I'm just like, do you want to see my credit card debt right now?
Really?
You want to see how much money I'm spending on this right now?
I don't got money for this.
I like how they tiptoe around it.
Then why are you going out if you don't have the money for it?
They literally be like, well, we're going to flip this over.
It's going to ask you a question and then sign.
I'm like, okay, yeah, I wonder what that question is.
They'll say that. They'll be like, oh, it's going to
ask you a question. I will stare them
down in their eyes while I hit zero
and sign.
No, you won't.
I'll not tip, but I'm not going gonna be a dick about it yeah right when it comes
to tipping okay i mean yeah i guess that's right when it comes to tipping if it's food or whatever
it kind of depends like if the cashier is just asking me for a tip if it's i'm not that's a zero
that's a zero i'm sorry like because i know my tip isn't really going to like the guy who's making it
i'm sorry like you're just giving me the food like way it was a normal McDonald's or something like that.
So would you tip at Cold Stones or would you tip at Subway or something like that?
No.
Okay, so I tip at those places because they're literally making it in front of you.
It's going to those people.
That's more of a fast food thing.
And here's the thing.
You're not cooking anything.
You're literally grabbing something out of a tray and putting it on bread.
Yeah, there's a difference.
You're not doing anything.
There's a difference between
food and a kiosk
that is literally a mini mart.
I'm doing all the work.
I was at a used bookstore
and they said, do you want a tip? I'm like, for what?
Yeah, tip for what?
For showing you where a book is at.
It sucks because the saturation
of everybody asking for tips
has made me tip people that I used to less.
Yes.
I used to justify, okay, even the people that just hand me the beer at Dodger games,
I'm like, all right, here's a couple bucks.
Now I'm like, F you, man.
You're part of the problem.
If I tip you, I've got to tip everybody else.
It's down to a dollar.
Well, it goes back to the music festivals.
I just get
tall cans, right? And then they literally
just open the tall can and then when you go
to the screen, like,
oh, it's going to ask you a question. The minimum
tip is six, seven
dollars. Yeah, those are the ones I'm talking
about. If I go to the bar top, if I go to the bar
top mixed drink, I'll probably shoot them a couple bucks.
But yeah, the ones that just reach over their shoulder, go to a fridge and click it open for you.
It's like, dude, why am I tipping you?
But even on the mixed drink, let's say it's like six, seven bucks.
Like, dude, it's already like a thousand dollars to buy this stuff.
So on those machines where it starts off at like 10%, I think there's an arrow to the left that you can click.
Yeah, custom.
And that's what I do with the beer.
I just put two bucks.
It's usually like one drink, one dollar.
Like nothing crazy.
Oh, damn.
Get that baby to shut up.
I know.
Sorry.
Frozen's on.
She got crazy.
Are we going to tip Julianne for shutting up the baby now?
Yeah, yeah.
That deserves a tip.
I hit mute every single time I stop talking
so you guys don't hear her.
My thing when it comes to alcohol is like,
kind of like Eric,
if you're just opening a beer,
maybe a dollar and that's it.
And that's a dollar for like two.
If you're just opening my one beer,
I'm not going to give it to you.
Oh, I usually do at least two bucks, a dollar each.
And that's a thing.
But even that I don't want to do.
Most of the places now, they're doing even less. it's a line that walks you along the fridges at daughter
stadium at crypto or staple center it's an amazon store where you just walk around grab it yeah so
there's literally the only thing they do is click it open for you yeah yeah why am i tipping you
that's a really good point because i'll click it only the only reason they're opening it for me is because I think they legally have to.
I'd open it for myself and I'd tip you nothing.
Yeah, they open it because they don't want you to have it closed and you throw it on stage.
Oh, that would make sense.
Is that really why?
Because you could throw it regardless.
You can, but it won't stay as heavy.
Yeah, we'll test this out with Tyler later.
Yeah. When it comes to mixed drinks,
go to Coachella, you get the total
and it automatically wants like a
20% tip, which is
like seven bucks. I'm like, you put
two things in a cup. You get two
bucks and that's it, dude. Alright, you guys
want to talk about some food news?
We haven't had some good food news in a while.
Only if you tip me after.
I'll tip you.
Now, is Tyler willing to take this challenge?
Oh, boy.
It's a 50-piece bucket of chicken nuggets, Wendy's spicy nuggets for only 18 bucks.
Not at all locations.
Are you all in or all out?
Do you like the spicy nugs?
I would try it, but I think if i actually ate all 50 i would probably throw up
i i don't know if i could wolf down 50 yeah i think you could do it don't show yourself i mean
i can easily do 20 but 50 i think i could do 20 pretty easily 2025 i think once i hit 30 i'm
definitely hitting a wall all right how about this about this food news? Any Cheez-It fans here? Love Cheez-Its?
Yes.
Cheez-It.
I don't know if you saw.
This is pretty awesome.
It looks cool.
Look at these photos.
Cheez-It opens a roadside diner in Woodstock, New York,
complete with Cheez-It milkshakes.
I don't know about that one.
But they also have extra Cheez-It burger,
the extra big grilled cheese, the cheesy chicken tenders mac
and cheese it and more all in or all out at the cheese it diner would you like to go pass on the
milkshake but everything else yeah i'm down all right agreed agreed yeah yeah the mac and cheese
it sounds good yeah oh my god it sounds. Oh, yeah. Get in my mouth.
Did you see this with Pizza Hut?
They debuted the new cheeseburger melts.
They kind of look like quesadillas.
They come in those new Pizza Hut box that they're doing.
It looks awesome.
No, they need to stick to pizza.
Oh, no.
No, I'm not going to lie.
I'm slightly intrigued.
Anytime you say cheeseburger, my ears perk up, dude.
I'll be honest.
That's just the go-to.
They actually have french fries with it as well.
Everybody wants to sell french fries now.
Taco Bell.
Well, because it rules.
Pizza Hut.
It's easy.
Yeah, I love french fries.
Yeah, see?
Me too. It's really hard to screw it up.
I love this place called Bro's Tacos.
It's a Mexican spot, and they do their French fries like the Mexican flag.
So they'll have ketchup on one side of the fries.
In the middle, they'll put mayonnaise, and then on the other side, they'll have a green sauce.
It's pretty good.
Ooh.
Okay.
I love it.
Shout out to them.
They're in San Fernando.
Check them out.
Bro's Tacos.
So freaking good.
They have a birria quesadilla
that is next level.
Alright, well, that's all I have
for you actually, guys, today.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Are we missing a key food news thing?
What? Did we all
skip over the Buffalo Wild Wings
All-You-Can-Eat Wings thing?
Oh, yeah!
That's why I was thinking of wings lie that's why i was thinking of wings

It's not going to work.
I can't wait because I already know it's going to be somebody
that's just going to aim at one of us and hating Mega for no reason.
Oh, no.
Seems to be me quite often.
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, Eric gets people worked up because Eric talks a lot of sports
and people always get really worked up about that kind of stuff.
I thought it was because,
uh,
you know,
he takes shots at Tyler and maybe there's a lot of people that are
supportive of milk mamas.
Do you know what?
Do you know what people get after Eric about two things,
one sports,
and then some guys get all but her when he talks about how he was in a
frat in college.
Oh, yeah.
That is true.
You guys are so stupid sometimes.
After we were doing Tailgater, that was something too.
It was like, Eric's always talking about how he moved
out and went to college and then Tyler
moved out too. And look, he did
just as good. I'm like,
okay. Sorry about talking about your
lives. Sorry.
Speaking of that,
shout out to a listener, Weeple Dave,
who used to listen to comments on Tailgater Sports.
Oh, really?
And I think possibly hit it on Eric a lot.
I ran into him at a Ska Mad Caddy show over the weekend.
Nice!
He's like a Steelers fan or something, isn't he?
Yeah.
All right.
So shout out to Weeple Dave.
He said hi.
He says hi.

Come on, baby.
Just a quick shout-out because you got to see,
you did have some downtime to see Fallout,
and that's what Julian and I have been saying.
Yeah, no, I binged the hell out of Fallout.
Me and my wife were like, hey, let's start this.
We're trying to plan what we're going to be doing
with our time and with the
baby and being around the house for so much
next couple months. Let's start this.
And we started it on
Saturday. We watched the first six episodes
and then finished it last night. So we
are now in the hunt for a new series to start
again. So it was really good.
Very good.
Nice.
Have you seen Shogun yet?
No, we haven't.
Okay.
Watch that one next.
Also Fallout, duh.
Brett and what's your name?
Tyler.
You guys were the first to watch it, right?
No.
Yeah.
He did.
Who was the pioneer?
Randy.
It was me and Randy. It was me and Randy, really. The pioneers of Fallout. Randy's not here. It was you. Yeah. Yeah. He did Randy. Who was the pioneer? Randy. It was me and Randy.
It was me and Randy, really.
The pioneer is a follow-up.
Randy's not here.
It was you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was me.
Yeah.
Screw that guy.
I played the games.
I didn't watch the show.
Oh, you didn't watch the show?
No, I haven't watched the show.
Oh, my God.
Oh, dude.
I haven't watched the show.
Actually, Brett, Brett, trust me.
As someone who likes it when video game lore and the show are pretty co-and-co with each other,
you would really like this show.
I'm sure I will when I get to it.
I just did a bunch of re-watching of Star Wars because Star Wars Acolyte is coming out next month.
I just re-watched Ahsoka and Mandalorian Season 3.
I finally watched the Ninja Turtle movie that came out like a year plus ago.
Are you serious?
I finally watched it.
Good, right?
It was awesome.
I loved it.
I can't wait for more.
Hopefully there's a sequel. I saw the tease.
Your friends tell you something's
awesome. You check it out.
Like Fallout. And I will
when I get in the zone for it.
I'm not in the zone just yet.
It's on Amazon, by the way, if you want to see Fallout.
Really, really good show. So is Ninja
Turtles right now. You missed it.
Julianne, do you have anything to say before we leave?
I don't have anything to say either.
Just baby watch as well.
That's it.
Baby people.
I need to have these babies.
That's what kind of happens, man.
Yeah.
You just shut it down and the world's still going on, but you're just kind of at home
and waiting.
Yeah.
You can't go too far because if you do, then you're away from your car.
I go on three-mile walks every day and every day, just the weirdest thoughts go through my head.
What if my water breaks and I'm right here?
Am I going to have enough energy to run back to the house?
I have the baby.
I'm alone.
What am I going to do?
We have the same talks.
We're like a mile from our house.
I'm like, well, okay, I can run home with the dog, drop it off, go get the car.
I don't know how you do it, how you go outside and do stuff.
I kind of would just be sequestered at the house
and just wait it out.
Yeah, I can't stay inside that long.
My mom's in Dana Point.
That's pretty much all you do outside of your morning walks
and you go to the grocery store.
Can't go too far.
So literally, my mom's in Dana point right now. Kevin's at work
in LA, uh, Felicity's at school and here I am on a walk with the baby. So I called my mom. I'm like,
what am I going to do if I go into labor? Like you're at the beach, Kevin's an hour and a half
away. Like I can't call an Uber. They're not going to want me in their car and like spill all my
fluids in their car. Am I going to just like sit and drive to baldwin park you know just
having contractions and i have to get the stroller out put the baby in there kevin's like dude call
the ambulance like they'll help you with the baby i'm like but what if i i don't know what if they
don't come quick enough and i have to leave and i have to jump i just i freak myself out tyler
yeah he's right there tyler uh yeah no He's had a lot of babies in his life. Yeah. Tug. What the hell?
I can drop all my fluids in your car, Tyler.
Tyler has offered several times to watch my dog if we need it while we're at the hospital
with the baby.
Well, yeah, because you know what?
You're in Downey.
You're not on the way.
You're not on the other side of California, dude.
What are you talking about?
My grandma lives in Whittier.
I'd go there all the time.
It's like 20 minutes away.
Shut up. To be honest with you, Jules,ules where you live you might as well be in Vegas okay
okay I live by the LA County Fair Raging Waters where people go all the time that is not around
the corner for me that is pretty fast 605 wait so Tyler if Julianne calls you like Tyler I really
need your help you're my only hope you're my only hope you're not, Tyler, I really need your help. You're my only hope. You're my only hope.
You're not going to pick her up?
I'm going to tell her, like, hey, look, I'll be on my way.
You better be ready to wait an hour and a half because it's going to be a minute.
It does not take an hour and a half to get from Covina to Whittier.
You at least go, right?
You at least go.
I'd go.
I'd tell her, like, look, I'll be there as fast as I can. It's probably going to be a minute with all these people driving.
It'll be a minute.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Whatever.
Julianne. He's like,
have some food ready for me, though.
Actually, you know, yeah.
That'll be my price. Have some food ready.
Have some wings ready, all right?
Can we stop by Buffalo Wild Wings on the way to the hospital?
Yeah, there's one right by my house, Tyler,
so I'll hook you up. Well, even though I'm not
super close like Tyler,
you can call me Julian.
I will help you with the baby even though I'm not super close like Tyler, you can call me Julianne.
Thank you.
I will help you with the baby,
even though I'm not a big fan.
Let's just get it over with.
All right.
Who has to say some stuff?
Tyler, what do you have to say before we leave?
Yes, I would like to share this text interaction that me and Eric had with Randy very recently.
Yes. So Randy very recently. Yes.
So Randy texted us.
He was at a work event recently,
and they did one of those games where you fill the jar with candy
and you have to guess how many candies are inside.
Uh-huh.
To get something for free.
Yeah.
He's like, there's a contest at work to see how many people could guess
how many candies were inside.
What do you guys think?
Eric guessed 75.
I guessed 129.
Randy, wow, that's so far from my dog guess.
Eric says, so?
And I was like, yeah, we're just patiently waiting for the answer.
Randy's like, dude, I guessed 415.
Eric, you're an idiot.
Randy, well, all the other guesses above me were 350, 315, 275.
So I was like, oh, maybe they know something i don't i said you're all i said you're
all idiots randy says that may be so but at least we all got a cookie for participating me in all
caps dude what was the answer like we're still waiting for the answer eric says i don't even
care anymore i'm not getting strung along by Randy over all this.
Randy replies saying, you idiot.
I don't know.
They never told us what the answer was.
What?
Then the problem with Tyler's telling of the story is he replies to the first three messages.
Boom, boom, boom.
So we give the guess.
Tyler gives it.
Boom, boom, boom.
And then we're like, all right, 10 minutes.
We're by.
So and then he then he goes into his aside about, oh, well what you know bad guesses and it's like okay so what is the effing
answer oh i don't know the answer we were talking about this on the last podcast he goes into
another story without giving you the ending of the first story this this story i think those
stories there is an ending at some point i didn't even have an ending i didn't even know the answer
and i'm like why would you ask us this question?
I'll try to find out. Why would you ask us
a question that you didn't have a payoff
for?
This is literally what Eric says.
He's like, hey, want to participate in something
I don't know the answer to with a million question
marks? And then he says, let's go
watch a movie that doesn't have an end.
Let's watch the Dodgers but turn it off in the eighth.
Hey, the Super Bowl was fun, but let's not see who wins like it's the equivalent to all that man like
just what is going on he'll leave you hanging on a text or call all day and then he then eventually
goes biggest pet peeves with him man then he'll go my bad dude yeah because the problem is it's
how it's how it's set up it's like you will have a
three or four or five message back and forth and then it's just dead and you're like what what
what is where's where what are you doing right now like we were just literally conversing and
then it's just quiet yeah he's just like a big dumb teddy bear i just love him he's so cute
randy one day he'll figure out how to be on the podcast again.
Well, there you go, everybody.
There's your Randy fix for this episode.
All right, Brett, do you have anything to say before we leave?
Well, yes, of course.
With so much baby talk, I have to add my own baby fix.
