Open Parks, 1000 Bucks, Gaming and Sports News

What's new? What's new with Menace? Hey, what's up everybody? It's another edition of What's New Pod. I am Menace. I'm joined by Bort, aka 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. He has an assistant. His assistant's name is Eric, but sometimes we call him Nick Soundwave. Plus we are joined by Randy, who's a radio DJ himself, and he works on the Woody Show Morning Show. And of course, our very special guest,

Tyler, as usual. What is up, Tyler? What is up, guys? Just want to let everybody know I am very much alive. Apparently, some people think I'm dead, but I'm here and I am breathing. We're happy to have you. It's okay. You're dead to me. Well, there it is. Before we get started, quick shout out to one of our new sponsors. It would be Bangin' Buns Hot Chicken. Oh, yeah. So good. In North Hollywood.

And it's certified fire. The spiciness is unmatched. Yeah. And it's super legit. If you're not into hot chicken, it's all good. They just have normal chicken. It's called country. And it's delicious. And you might think. They just have normal chicken. It's called country and it's delicious.

And you might think to yourself, Hey guys, I don't live anywhere near North Hollywood, California. I actually live in another state or around the world. It's all good. Banging buns has plans to take over the world and they should be having a location opening up very soon near you. In the meantime, just look at their chicken right now banging buns.com um i've been waiting for this i've been wanting to ask eric about this story that he started tweeting out about the other day and it involved some bees oh man so i was it was uh it was over the weekend it was a nice beautiful day out here in los angeles it was one of the first days where it kind of you felt like the city was more willing to just kind of say F the lockdown. We're all going to go out into the world a little bit. It's kind

of been building up towards that. So it was me, my fiance, Dr. Sunshine. We went out to Griffith Park, a place by the LA Zoo for those that aren't local. A lot of trails, a lot of like little trailheads, a lot of parks, nice grassy green outside, right? That's what our goal was to do. So we found a nice trail, walked, we're sitting on a little park bench i feel like a gust of wind and i feel something fall down my shirt what the hell what the hell is that i reach in and i grab it thinking it was like a leaf or something it wasn't a leaf guys it was a freaking bumblebee like the size of a quarter bro oh my god so i reached down my like the back of my neck just behind my ear murder hornet how ironic is that that i was just talking crap about Murder Hornet's last episode.

Yeah. Man, Murder Hornet's such pusses, man. Yeah. They listened to What's New and they were coming out to get me, man. They put a hit out on me. But so I reached down, like reached to the back of my neck and I feel a bite. So I'm kind of, I'm not freaking out, you know, whatever. But we're also on a trail.

So I'm like, okay, I need to get the stinger out because my fiance can see the stinger in my neck still. So I'm like, okay, let's go find a park bench or somewhere where you can sit behind me and just yank this out of my neck. Right. So we walk about five minutes, find us a little, like a little bench I can sit on. She gets behind me, pulls out the stinger and I'm like, okay, let's get back to the car. We got like 15 minute walk, at least, you know, let's, let's go. So I stand up and I kind of get a little, little hot, but like cold, start getting the cold sweats a little bit. And I look at, I look at her and she, I look at my fiance and she looks at me and she's like, are you okay? And I'm like, oh, I don't know. I might need to sit back down. And she's like, you're ghost pale right now.

I turn around to go and sit down to the bench that I just stood up from to find the bench. And I like look down the world might as well have went upside down on me. I couldn't feel the bench. Couldn't find the bench. I sit down. I'm deep breathing. I literally had to fall into Tyler breathing to like focus on not passing out. We're like, we're in the middle of a trail right now. Like there's, there's nowhere. And I'm in my mind.

And not only am I like having this probably like panic attack slash reaction to this beast thing in my head, I'm ha I'm also thinking in my mind, crap, we're like a mile and a half away from my car. It was a, a nice walk in the park turned out to be a little hectic for me. That's what you get for going outside. I know the nature nature nature learned to fight back guys while we're all in quarantine i know

like oh nature is definitely taking over you know you see all those videos on the internet of animals just taking over cities the the monkeys that were taking over those little towns and stuff like that yeah but good news it seems like a lot of stuff is opening up, which is great. Yeah. I mean, when we were out for the walk, dude,

there was people everywhere. We were over by the LA zoo and the, the Gina Autry museum. So like there was a kind of a little hub for a lot of inter interchanges and traffic. Dude, you wouldn't have been able to tell it wasn't a regular day out on the weekend.

I was driving by the target and the Walmart and other stores in our area, not too far from the radio station. The only thing you can tell that stuff isn't normal is just the lines of people trying to get in. But the parking lot is just full. Those lines suck. I'm not waiting in those lines. Forget that. The only reason I was there is because I was doing that order online and then just parking your space and then they dump everything into your trunk and then you leave, you know? Have you actually tried going to anywhere and thought, you know what? I think I'm going to go in. Let me just drive by and see. And the moment you see, you're like, nope, not today. Maybe I'll try tomorrow. Yeah. I haven't actually gone into a store in probably weeks. What? Dude, we just found out though that things don't go on

surfaces. Come on, man. It's time to go back to the mall. I know. But the only thing is, I don't want to wait in the lines. Yeah, I just don't want to do it when I know I can just order online and then I can drive up to the location and they'll put whatever I need into the car. And it's probably a good thing, too, because I'm probably spending way less money ordering stuff just online instead of being in the store and just throwing random crap in the basket you know it's funny you mentioned that me and my fiancee walked out of target with extra clothing because of how they funnel us into our local target now yeah so it's a two-story so the grocery part was on the bottom so they force everybody in at the bottom level and they force you around one door and around to go into the grocery area so we walked by a place we would normally never go by.

And I ended up grabbing a pair of shorts and my fiance ended up grabbing a sweatshirt. We would never have bought it, but we were forced to walk in and target, man, it's dangerous. Yeah. So since, you know, we can't travel at all, I decided, I go, man, I got to keep the Instagram active because, you know, that's part of my job. Keep the reach going.

And I decided, you know what? I'm just going to post like old photos of some of my travels that I've never posted before. I noticed that. So I started doing that every night. But people are so dumb, man. They think that I'm actually traveling out there. And it's funny because I posted Macau, right? So Macau is pretty much the Las Vegas of China, but it's weird because it's run

by the Portuguese government. And I posted this photo of me in Macau that I've never posted before. And I said, hey, Macau has just gone 40 days without any new cases of coronavirus, right? So many comments. Well, oh, you're just saying that to justify your travel there. I go, I'm not there. Dude. You know, if you listen to the show, I'm not there. I'm not in Japan currently. I'm not in China. I don't know, man.

I think it's funny because you're posting these clearly in different countries only a couple days apart. I know. So it's like you can't get there that fast, number one. And number two, you obviously wouldn't be working on the show. You wouldn't be on the show in general if you're in all these places. So that makes no sense that people just think you're there. Menace's vacation itinerary is kind of crazy like that. So if he wasn't locked down, I would totally believe that the country hopping he's doing that for sure. Oh yeah i do yeah hop like every two days somewhere how many how many countries did you hit what was it your christmas break you were like in china

and bangkok like uh china the philippines japan i think you went to mars too macau mars all that stuff pit stopped at the moon the way back that was not mars that was zolkar yeah and it just goes back to the thing that i always have my frustration with Randy who always contemplates on, Oh, what should I write for my caption? That's why I don't post as much. I go, Brandy, no one reads the captions. I'm glad you bring this up. This is proof right here. I'm glad you bring this up because over the weekend of all people who summoned in this very chat, sent me a picture, a screenshot of a message they received. Okay. Soundwave knows what I'm talking about. So I think it was like Saturday afternoon, Nick or Eric, you sent me a screenshot and it's a screenshot or, you know, you can like highlight a post and send it to someone.

Yeah. They did that with my post for my Friday thing about, Hey guys, I'm on the air, not on the at seven. Oh yeah. Your damn tequila sunrise post. They sent it to Eric. They send Eric, right? And he's like, this guy is trying way too hard.

This is what I'm talking about, man. Every time I do something. Because I posted, because Randy posted some like, I don't want to say cryptic, I was just poking fun at him, right? He's like, a sunrise for your sunset. It was a play on words. He's drinking a Tequila Sunrise. He's on a night show,

sunset, whatever, right right i poked at him share to my story listen at randy on alt 98 7 maybe he'll explain what the hell this means right yeah some rando i have no clue never interacted with this guy before replies to my story of randy's post saying he tries too hard lol i don't mind and i'm just like i'm like dude this is this is what i'm talking about everyone's always like oh god randy I'm just like, I'm like, dude, this is, this is what I'm talking about. Everyone's always like, Oh God, Randy,

why would you post that? I'm like, cause it's a quarantine dog. I don't know what, what am I supposed to post? Look at me. I'm in my kitchen. I don't go to cool places,

you know, that's what I'm saying, man. I, why? No, I know. I,

I wasn't, I wasn't, you know, I didn't lose any sleep over it, but I just thought it was funny because I'm like, of course somebody has to say something when I post something. And for once, it's funny because he sent it to Eric. For once, it wasn't me.

That's the best part of this, man. Well, see, Brett's I ignored. That's how I've trained myself to ignore everybody else. I'm like, oh, there's Brett again. Dude, the funniest thing that I found online, man, is Karen's Gone Wild. That is the best Instagram account. It is so good. If people haven't checked it out karen's gone wild on instagram i've been reposting some of it at the woody show on instagram but it is just

full of just karen's losing their minds yeah i saw one this morning um and this this woman just is in the store and she's just berating and i mean berating this poor guy who's just there working there at the top of her lungs screaming you're an effing a-hole blah blah blah blah blah repeatedly and i'm i'm sitting here thinking this reminds me of my customer service days and i do not miss these days one bit because if you if you've worked in customer service, everyone's had that at least once. And it absolutely sucks. That's what my fiance was saying, Spicy Nacho. They go, the Karen stuff is so relatable because in your lifetime, you've encountered a Karen

like this where they're just irrational for no reason. What a terrible time to be named Karen too. I know. I'd assume that every Karen is a raging bitch No, it's like imagine being named Karen and being on she kind of cool. That must suck I'm sure that's gonna be one of the names that gets phased out, you know, you know, like sometimes you'll see 1950s or 40s actors and actresses and they've got like Ruth or you know, just like a Dolores old-timey names rain I wouldn't be surprised if Karen gets left behind my mom came home once and uh recently obviously because she was complaining about having to wear

a face mask my mom's always been weird about stuff in her face right so can you know do a little hand thing in front of her face and she'll slap that ish out of you right yeah so she's always already been kind of like put off by the mask wearing so every now and then she'll come home and she'll you know she'll vent to me about an interaction oh i got out of the car i got right back to my car and i threw it off it sucks blah blah blah and i legitimately told her like mom please please don't blow up on anybody at a store because one you're gonna get recorded and two they're gonna make fun of you on the woody show and i'm gonna have to hear it at work she's like what you wouldn't defend me and i'm like yeah i defend you but they're still gonna make fun of you on the radio yeah i wouldn't defend my mom if my mom did that

i wouldn't defend that i'm not i'm not going down with that i'm not going down she's not going to freak out but i mean i'm just my mom is can get a little mouthy sometimes she's not going to berate somebody yeah and that's the thing she'll go viral just for because people are always looking to make people go viral nowadays like they're're fishing to get somebody to blow up, you know? It's like, just don't even give them the time of day. Yeah, when I was in that Target parking lot, there was a woman starting to freak out, a Karen, who was complaining because all the parking spaces where you park to pick up your groceries, the workers were taking too long, so she had to keep on circling.

So she started to lose her mind and i busted out my phone right away and i was hoping that she was gonna go further with her yelling but she calmed down after a while i just don't understand how people get to that place where just because the slightest inconvenience happens to you you feel like you have to berate someone i just don't understand how that happens how How you go from one to a hundred that quick. Well, Tyler, this goes back to what we talked about earlier in the podcast, which was people are stupid.

Yeah, that's true. That's fair. And Tyler's forgetting how quickly he goes from zero to 100 on literally everything. I'm surprised you haven't blown up on your 7,000 grocery store trips during this. No, no. When it comes to the public, I'm usually pretty cool. Knowing Tyler, he's probably cursing people under his breath, just upset he has to be

at places. There's lines and stuff. Yeah. The man of the people, man. I think Eric and I are going to have to place a bet on whose mom's going to go viral first because I think my mom, luckily she's staying home a lot. Surprisingly, my mom's not in that kind of category. She doesn't even want to leave to go to the store. She doesn't do any of that stuff. Yeah, but yeah. See, that's what's going to keep your mom safe. My mom's not in that kind of category like she doesn't even want to leave to go to the store she doesn't do any of that yeah but yeah see that's what's gonna keep your mom safe my

mom's been opposite she's been like f this i'm gonna go out out here yeah but see that's that's the thing though i i just feel like the rationale behind the majority of the karens and kevins out there it's all the same stuff and it's just stupid it's like i'm an american i have the right to do what i want like yeah okay well you can leave the store because that's my right to tell you to leave the store. It's just, it's all, it's all crazy. There's a thing that we've been doing on the Woody show the past couple of weeks and it's getting to know you. And I thought that, you know what, we should do a little mini getting to know you here on what's new pod. And I came up with just three questions.

Some of the getting to know you questions we've asked before, the ones that we're asking on The Woody Show. So I came up with these ones where I don't think we've talked about it. I'm going to start off with Eric. Eric, what is your birthplace? Hey, What's New Pod, folks. Seabass from The Woody Show

dropping in here to talk about your friend and mine. That is Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey. I know you guys were talking about cake reviews recently and menace has gotten really into that seven up cake and that's why i love screwball peanut butter whiskey because it's got that whiskey base so it's a good accompaniment for your you know entrees your steaks your pizzas really anything but that creamy slightly sweet peanut buttery finish is actually a great after dinner drink as well, especially when you're combining it into different cocktails, which you can find at screwballwhiskey.com. That's screwball with a K. It goes great with any kind of fruit flavors,

any kind of berries, apples, citrus, and oranges, any liqueurs or juices you have in those realms. Screwball is a great combination. If you want to stay at home, Screwball is, of course, on all the major liquor delivery apps, and maybe you can get them to pick you up some cake on the side as well. Just make sure that you enjoy responsibly

So I was born in Downey, California, but I was actually the last baby born at the hospital that i was born at really shut down right after me my mom tells me this story all the time where apparently she couldn't find me to take me home because the nurses were taking me around taking

pictures with me because i was the like final baby that was born and being discharged from this hospital in downey it's weird it's so weird i yeah it's the craziest story but she's like i literally couldn't find you to take you home because you were being carried around by the nurses taking pictures i'm not sure what which hospital wasn't down in california but it's not there anymore apparently but i grew up in cutahoe california where my mom and her mom and her dad and you know for my mom's lived in cutty california her entire life so i grew up in cut a born in downey los angeles southeast los angeles area brett where were you born i was born in tarzana california which is part of the uh san fernando valley there's some dope houses in tarzana hell yeah man they pop up

in my feed once a while i would love to live there also i think they have a black no never mind i get that confused with encino no no they do you know They do. They do. It's actually right around. A Black Bear Diner? Yep. It's right around the corner from where I was born at the Tarzana Hospital. Okay. Maybe I've been there as well and I just didn't realize it. Yeah.

Black Bear Diner opened up in Downey, California also, by the way. Oh, hell yeah, bro. Florence? Yeah. Dude, I love Black Bear Diner. All right. Tyler, where are you at? I was born in Whittier, California.

Hell yeah. It's the greatest place ever. Oh, my God. It's right on the OC border. I hear they have a great little league. Oh, they have a great little league. There's also a Black Bear Diner not too far away from me. Why does everyone live near a Black Bear Diner but me?

I live about 10 minutes away from the closest Black Bear Diner. I love that place. Born and raised in Whittier, California. The house I'm currently living in, I've lived here for about 22 years, I believe. I've never really moved out of Whittier at all. Randy? I was born

at a now-closed hospital in Granada Hills. I was raised for a little bit in Highland Park and then I made the move when I was almost a year to Burbank and I was raised for a little bit in Highland Park, and then I made the move when I was almost a year to Burbank, and I've lived here ever since. Why are you guys shutting down hospitals left and right? They're like, oh. I don't know.

No more. Mine's still open. Yeah. I was born in Redwood City, California, and that's in Northern California, and right across the street from a Toys R Us, which is now a Target. Nice. Hell yeah. I almost just cursed.

Nice. All right. The next question, which is now a Target. Nice. Hell yeah. I almost just cursed. Nice. All right. The next question, I'll go in the same rotation. Eric, what is your favorite possession? Oh, man, that's tough, dude. I always have trouble dealing with these rankings and top fives, favorites. Would it be wrong to say overall my backpack? No.

I think about I've always had a backpack. Literally, I go to work with my backpack. My backpack's always in my car. I was a kid who always had the backpack on in high school. My phone's up there, I guess. I can't go anywhere without my phone. What a way to start. I feel like we had a false start here.

No, no. All right, Brett. Honestly, my most prized possession, it's the things that I wear. Accessories. I've always had like a bunch of accessories on, but each one kind of

comes from a different family member, if that makes sense. So like my pocket knife came from one of my brothers. My wallet chain, I've actually had since the sixth grade. My sister gave it to me. And every time it breaks,

I repair it and rebuild it just so I don't ever not have it. And then there's like a couple wristbands that I wear or like chain wristbands that I have that were like my siblings in high school. So that was like the nineties. And then one of them, my wife gave me. So it's just like those little accessories that I carry with me every day. Tyler. So my favorite possession is actually sitting right behind me right now. It's this football I have that has a little bit of a backstory to it. The last time the Super Bowl was in California was in 2003 in San Diego. And my dad took me to the NFL experience, which is this week long thing before

the Super Bowl. And it's basically like, it's like a football Comic Con. That's the easiest way to say it. So we went and my dad picked up a football for me that says, you know, Super Bowl. I think it was 36 Raiders Bucks has a date on it, whatever. And there were a bunch of old players there that were signing autographs. And I was like, hey, dad, like, I really want to go like get some autographs or whatever. And he's like, OK, cool. And I remember I was a little kid. I was 10.

I think it was. kid. I was 10. I think it was, uh, yeah, it was 10. I had my Michael Vick jersey on and I go up to the players who have, uh, who are doing the autographs. And the first guy I meet is Deacon Jones. And Deacon Jones is one of the best defensive ends of all time. He played for the LA Rams back in like the sixties. So I go up to him and I said, Mr. Jones, can I have your autograph? And he looks at me, he's like, I don't want to give you my autograph. And I said, why not? And he saw my Jersey. And he said, cause I hate quarterbacks. I was like, Oh, I'm sorry. I could take it off if you want me to. And he just laughed and he's like, nah, nah, it's okay. And he signed it. And I got a bunch of other signatures on that football

But that's the one that I always remember and to be perfectly honest I don't even remember whose other signatures are on that ball That's the only one I remember and that is the one thing where if my house is burning down But everyone else is like outside and I can grab I can go in and grab one thing That is the one thing I will grab is that football because that thing holds so many memories for me. Randy? Now, this question was pretty difficult because I like bread. I love my things and my items, but I totally recognize that if they were for some reason disappeared or went away, I'd be fine. It's not the end of the world. So I kind of bounce back and forth between some of the consoles I have, my PC that I built, but ultimately I settled on

this chain that my mom gave me for Christmas this year. And it's modeled after the chain that my dad had. And so my dad had a chain that he was given, that my mom gave to him back when they first started dating in 85. And so my dad passed away. And so I always liked the chain, but my mom wanted to keep it in a safe place. So she got a chain made for me that looks like my dad's chain. And I've, I've had that and I've, I've never taken it off since I got it. So I guess,

I guess I'd say that's my, my most prized possession. That sounds like it. And especially when it's like family materials like that, that are even given to you or stuff that were, it was theirs. You know, when you get to,

you don't think about it maybe every day when you see it, you just know it's there. And then you kind of like, Oh yeah, it's like the, these people are always with me, you know, every single day. You almost forget you have it on. It's like, you almost forget you have it, you just know it's there. And then you kind of like, Oh yeah, it's like the, these people are always with me, you know, every single day. You almost forget you have it on. It's like, you almost forget you have it on sometimes. Like I,

I sometimes forget I have a chain on like, Oh yeah. Cause it's just, it's just always there. So that was a tough question, Venice. Uh, for me, it would probably have to be my televisions, even though I find myself not watching TV as much as I used to. When I lost one of my radio jobs, I started selling TVs and like really expensive TVs, like thousands of dollars when Plasma TVs first started coming out and I couldn't afford them, but I was selling them. And then I go, you know, once I had enough money, I'm going to buy a big ass TV. And then, so I did that. And I just, I just like looking at them even when they're not even on hell. Yeah. Finally got that big ass TV. And then so I did that, and I just like looking at them, even when they're not even on. I'd be like, hell yeah, finally got that big-ass TV.

And then also I would say my Jordan 5s because those are the Jordans that I wanted back in the day, and I couldn't get them because my mom probably couldn't afford them. And I would get, like, Skechers instead. No knock on Skechers. Right, but still, it wasn't Jordan 5s. Yeah, they weren't Jordan 5s. And probably would be my

MacBook because back in the day I was saving and saving and saving, trying to buy a Mac and then eventually I just gave up and bought a PC and it was such a waste of money and I was so disappointed because I wanted to get a Mac to do some video editing.

And I was like, oh, forget it. I'll just buy this PC because it's like a quarter of the price. And I just couldn't do what I wanted to do with it. And I was so disappointed with myself. I think those are my favorite three items, probably because of a nostalgia thing. But I'm with you guys. If all of it went away, I would be fine. I'd be a little bit sad yeah but i'll be fine i don't think i really have anything if the house is burning down

other than you know my dogs that i would care about oh i mean nachos there too you know and yeah i mean she has she can run out she's fine but she has to grab one of the dogs you can't carry both those dogs yeah now this is a little bit of a darker question i'm going to oh no it could be really bad or it could be ah never happened to me but i randomly asked have you ever been robbed eric i have never been robbed but i was i've been pocket checked i mean is that considered robbery i was pocket checked a couple times in like middle school mean, I grew up, I went to middle school in South central, you know, I was only a white kid. So I fell into some situations that weren't the best. Yeah. Um, but I mean, I was pocket checked a couple of times walking home from school.

They're just older kids, like empty the pockets or get jumped kind of thing. Yeah. Well, I mean, never, never like robbed, robbed. Yeah. It's not like, Oh, somebody pulled a gun on you and they robbed you. Like, have you had, you know, something stolen from you? Yeah. I mean, I mean, I had a couple of bucks here and there in middle school and stuff. Nothing recently, thankfully. Bort? Yeah.

I had $600 stolen from my bank once. Damn. Yeah. Someone in another state, I guess I had bought a wrestling t-shirt from Brett the Hitman Hart in Canada through some store. I thought it was fine and this is before I started using credit cards for everything and someone in like Georgia or some other state got my account info and bought a purse from France all right so I go

into my bank account and it's like minus $600 or something I call the bank and they're like oh yeah we didn't know same thing suspicious and I'm like you don't think me buying a purse from France and sending it to Georgia wasn't suspicious? It's $600. That might be a little out of character. Yeah, it was just a little bit. But I was like, dude, look, if someone spent $600 on action figures, that was me. But if it's not, yeah.

But that was pretty much it, man. I mean, our house got broken into a few times when I was growing up, like when we weren't there. Tyler? Thank God I've never been robbed far as like face-to-face goes like someone came up to me and said like give me all your money i have dealt with the uh credit card or debit card fraud so i've had that um the one story that comes to mind i remember i was at uh round one in uh point of hills california and i was there with my friends. We had just used our debit cards to buy like pizza. And I said, Hey, let me get around. So 10 minutes later, I go to the bar,

I get around and she's tried sliding my card. And she says, your card's declined. I said, that's impossible. I just got paid today. Can I say, do you mind trying it again? I'm a baller. I said, do you mind trying it again? She's like, yeah, sure. So she slides it again and she says, no, I'm sorry. It's declined. And I said, what the heck is going on? I immediately went outside and called the bank to see what was going on in the 10 minute span between when we used my card to pay for pizza. And when i used it to buy drinks someone in arkansas had used my card at a restaurant and tried paying it like just to see if it would go through in the span of 10 minutes

yeah how does that even happen it's it's a stupid story but i mean it's you know credit card fraud that that stuff sucks yeah it's funny though like when i travel and then sometimes i have a connection i'll spend money in three states within a day. And sometimes I do get flagged and I have to call and it's such a pain in the ass. But I get it. Thankfully, they do it. Tyler, man, you don't need to lie and say that someone took money from you. We all know what happened. You had a really bad car lease and your money was stolen every month.

Oh, yeah. Oh, could that technically count as a robbery? Yeah, I guess you robbed yourself. Stupidity. Yeah, yeah. Oh, could that technically count as a robbery? Yeah, I guess you rob yourself. Stupidity. Yeah, that was bad. All right, Randy. Luckily, I've never been robbed, like gunpoint or knife point. But two years ago, somebody also got my debit card information. And this is the reason why I primarily don't use my debit card for transactions. They got my info and they bought two Xbox controllers in the UK. My card company refused to acknowledge that they weren't my purchases because of my prior

purchases, because I would buy stuff from GameStop and stuff. Like, are you sure you didn't make these purchases? I'm like, I'm pretty sure because I'm calling you from California. I didn't buy these controllers in the UK. But I'll tell you what, man, nothing is more irritating. Nothing is more frustrating or angers me more than porch pirating or the people who somehow get your information. For myself, it is weird because I haven't thought about this forever until I thought of this question. Have you been robbed? And when I was a kid, I lived in a duplex. My neighbors actually crept in through my window at night when I was sleeping in bed. I had to be like six years old, crawled over my bed as I'm sleeping, went through our house. My parents were in there, stole a bunch of stuff, and they actually got caught.

The cops came to our house and everything so it was weird because i'm a six-year-old sleeping and these these neighbors are creeping through my window and like breaking into our house but they did get caught so i am a moron because completely forgot i've had my car stolen yes i totally forgot that You guys started. Mark tape. Mark tape. We need that for a drop. Completely forgot. I've had my car stolen. Yes. I totally forgot that actually happened.

I've had my car broken into, and all they took was my car charger that was worth $10. And then two months after that, my car was sitting in front of my house, and they stole it. I can't believe I completely forgot about that idiot yep it's on past episodes the epic story where your mom asked you hey um why is your car leaving oh yeah god oh good times good times i watched i watched my brother's bike get stolen like that situation one time i was sitting in my front room and i saw just like this is when i was pretty young maybe early elementary saw somebody hop on my brother's bike and ride off with it. And my dad comes into the house. He's like, hey, where's your brother?

I'm like, oh, he went for a bike ride. And he walks to the back of the house and he looks at me. He's like, no, he's in the shower. Oh, so I hear my I hear my dad yell to my brother in the shower. Somebody stole your bike, Mike. Let's go. And they never found it. But I literally watched the dude get on it.

And I just thought it was my brother because I'm young. I'm not really paying attention. Watched him right away with it. It's so random, the bike thievery, too. I'm sure it's going to be rampant, too, because there's a bike shortage. Everybody bought bikes. That is so prevalent. My entire high school, junior high life, man,

you would constantly see bikes that were chained up and like wheels were stolen or the entire bike but minus one wheel like on every corner it was insane that's why i love those airbag bike videos oh those are the best those are ones that always get me to laugh too we're talking about stuff that always makes you laugh bait cars bait bikes are so good i love bait bike more than bait car because bait bikes sometimes you know people don't know what we're talking about a lot of times they'll just take a wire and they'll tie it to a tree and then they'll just leave a bike somewhere in the park and then somebody will go and try to steal the bike and they start taking off and then they'll just like indo just fly right

over the handlebars over handlebars it's good. I don't feel bad at all. No way. I hope they steal another bike and it's on camera again. Yeah, it is the best. Look up bait bike on YouTube. There's another thing I want to talk about. So that's wrapping up our getting to know you, just by the way. You.

Make sure you listen to the official segment on The Woody Show. If you don't listen to The Woody Show, Monday through Fridayiday there's something soothing about the imaging used for that segment the like second the getting to know you i don't know what what movie or song it's from but it's so calming and we've heard it every week for the last couple weeks and i enjoy the segment just for the intro piece honestly it's julie andrews getting to know you yeah man it's just so calming it's just like her voice is it's only her voice acapella for a little bit and then it flows into some melodic, it's just so calming. It's just like her voice is, it's only her voice acapella for a little bit and then it flows into some melodic music. It's really calming for me

whenever I'm listening to it in the morning. It's the best. I have a lot of questions this podcast. So Mark Cuban, he had an idea for a stimulus package where everybody would get a thousand bucks a week, but you had to spend that thousand dollars to put it back into the economy. You couldn't bank it.

You had to get it and then spend it. So I want to ask everybody, you got $1,000 right now and you had to spend it. What would you spend it on? And I deleted the part where you say, well, I'm just going to pay my bills. No, you had to spend a thousand bucks. What would you spend it on?

Eric, you first. I'd probably buy a new computer. I've been dealing with a MacBook Air that's been overly full for a while now i got it back in like 2012 2013 so i'm dealing with the um extra space or whatever the the other part of a macbook storage is so i need a new computer so i've been itching for one lately and um just for work-wise and technical wise a computer would probably be where i would go with it. Brett? I'm going to agree with Eric there because much like my car, my last Mac was from 2006. So if I could actually get a new computer that has some proper video editing software and actually be up to speed on everything, dude, I'd spend a thousand

dollars right now. I'm afraid to ask Tyler, what is your, what are you going to spend money on? I would take that thousand dollars. I am renting a car and doing a road trip to Seattle. I think that's Seattle now. Yeah. I think that'd be a lot of fun. I'm bringing up Arizona, but I'm surprised that you're going to Seattle. Now I have a thousand dollars. See Arizona, I can do in one day. I could just go there and back. It's not that expensive. If I'm going toattle and i have a thousand dollars i could actually take some time i could put that towards a car rental put it towards a couple hotels go to a couple places i want to see just make a road trip out of it i could easily spend a thousand dollars on a road trip just fly

yeah easily i mean yeah but there's something about taking a road trip as opposed to flying. I like, I love this drive, man. I know it's a long drive, but I love the scenery. I love just the scenic routes you could take. You want to support the economy. You want to support like small class America by stopping at like all these little touristy place. That's how America thrives, bro. I drove, I drove up to Washington once from Downey, California with my fiance.

She was helping her sister move. You don't realize how big California is until you go north-south, like completely north-south. You go west to east. You're in Arizona in five, six hours from LA, depending on traffic. But going north-south through California, that's a full day just in California alone, dude. It's a trek going north.

It's crazy how long it is. Great scenery if you're going for the trees. Randy, what would you spend your money on? I suppose I would say down payment into getting a new mattress. I know mattresses are expensive. I feel like I really need a new one. Like a better one. A down payment

on a mattress. These ones that get delivered in a box, they're pretty good, man. They're getting better and better my mom got one of those delivered a couple weeks ago because she's kind of redoing her house a little bit yeah yeah and it's weird it's it's weird to get the box and then see the mattress flop out of it because it's rolled up almost like a yoga mat super duper tight air vacuumed and you unzip it and it's almost like you're unzipping like a corpse like yeah just kind of it kind of like you hear the air suck back into it.

And then it just slowly expands over the course of, like, three days. And then all of a sudden, it's like this box that houses this little thing is a huge mattress. It's insane what they do. I got one from Sin Sleep. They have a line called Hybrid Infinity, and it is super legit man i got one because when we go spend time in san francisco that at spicy nachos parents house uh the mattress that we had before that was just i don't know a rock this one is super legit so yeah if you go to sin sleep.com and then not an ad by the way and then click on hybrid dude, they can get you one of those

things in no time flat. And they're not super, super expensive. They're definitely affordable. I think for me, if I got a thousand bucks and I just wanted to spend it right now, I would probably, and I mentioned this the last podcast, probably going to go into the VR world, man. The Oculus. I don't know. I don't know for gaming, but I just want to see what quality that stuff is now in 2020 versus when it started to come out years ago. I think it might be

pretty good. I don't know about the gaming world stuff, but just like, oh, I want to be put in the middle of Iceland and just put the Oculus on and see what it looks like. Even some of the games, I saw the Star Wars games that they have out for that stuff. It's

insanely how in-depth you feel when you put that on. $299 for the base model. Damn, I'd have a bunch of money left over. I think, well, you have to buy some of the content, right? Some of the videos? Right, but I'm saying if it's $299 and then let's say you choose a VR setup that makes you feel like you're at the beach you can invest in some sand

maybe a fan make you think that you're at the beach or something you're gonna go all in around i was like wait they have a sand package or something no they send you a sandbox yeah well what's that thing where you're actually like is that real where you're on kind of a treadmill and it's in a circle? I've seen it on a couple TV shows. I don't know if they're like joking around or you can actually buy that where you're walking around. I know what you're talking about. I feel it's real. I've seen it.

It has to be because I've seen it on a couple different things. You're talking about the catwalk, the catwalk mini. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is speaking of speaking of vr did you happen to see the video of t-pain losing his mind on a vr racing set no oh my i will post it immediately on my story but this is one of the funniest videos i think i've ever seen because uh t-pain's car somehow glitches and falls underneath the racing map, and he starts freaking out.

It's one of the funniest videos I've seen this year. It's absolutely hilarious. You've seen a lot of these VR videos of people on roller coasters or they're fighting in their living room, and then they fall on their ass. I definitely don't want to fall on my ass, but I want to try it out. Speaking of gaming, Randy started yet another podcast. We've mentioned it in a previous podcast, but might as well just mention it now.

Randy, what is your new podcast and what's happening in the gaming world right now? So there's a lot of cool things happening and you can hear all of it on the IconX podcast. And Menace, you just briefly mentioned the VR treadmill, the cat. Just to give you a heads up, if you did want to get it,

it's going to cost you $4,000. Damn! Do they have a payment plan with no interest? But yeah, as far as games, the big gaming news, the biggest thing right now is The Last of Us 2. And we have a few Woody Show listeners, and What's New listeners, who just so happen to work at the company

that's developing the game, Naughtughty Dog and they say it's massive In fact, they say this game is going to be so big that it's gonna take you multiple playthroughs to just get around to everything Like they said that It's just it's it's crazy And I think for you right now would be a fun time for you to get you not only VR But also gaming because you what did you game a lot when you were younger or like every once in a while? I was like really into Nintendo gaming and some Sega Genesis, but that was it.

Yeah, I see gaming right now would be the most exciting for someone like yourself because once you turn something on and see, you can see just how big of a difference they've made. Like Bort and Soundwave and I, we were talking about these old Pokemon games earlier this week. And I was telling you about how I was just dumbfounded.

There was a game that they put out and people bought where you would basically walk around holding a camera and taking pictures of Pokemon. Pokemon Snap. Yeah, Pokemon Snap. And they said it was a really big game. And now looking at the games that are coming out, which is open world, you know, thousands of hundreds, thousands of characters

let me ask hours of gameplay yeah let me ask you this this is where i fell off with gaming where they started having a bunch of reading you know like this storyline would just have like a long time to load your next next uh scene where you were gonna go play and then they right they would have like scrolls of crap that you had to read. I'm like, no. Like gamer tips? Yeah, I just want to fight people, you know? Like Street Fighter and stuff like that. I don't want to have like this big-ass storyline that I have to go through.

Is it still like that where if I want to go from place to place, I have to read some storyline, some dumb-ass thing like that? So what's crazy right now is because murder people what's crazy right now is for the current generation consoles they're kind of at the end of their run so we're going to be introduced to brand new things the ps5 xbox series x come uh you know christmas time and those consoles we've seen at least hands-on for the ps5 goes the there is no wait time like you turn on the game and you go. None of that even exists. And it's really funny because if you look back to the 360, there is a game that Rockstar put out called L.A. Noire.

And L.A. Noire is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of a game. But the thing that makes me really laugh about it and shows you how far gaming has gone is that game was a two-disc game. So once you hit a certain point, you had to put in another disc to play the next point. And suddenly, once the Xbox One came out, that became obsolete and that game became easily accessible and now these newer consoles are coming out and you're seeing how they're you know how they're how they're doing well with the games that are coming out now or the games that are out now

and something like a loading screen isn't going to be a thing anymore and i think that's insane just to see how far everything has gone in fact fact, the PS5, they say it's so advanced that the technology that you'll find in the PS5, you will not find anywhere else. Like PC gaming is typically considered the benchmark in regards to graphics, in regards to performance. But PlayStation and Sony have said that they have developed something so far advanced

that nothing even comes close to it. They better back it up. And Randy, how do you find your podcast? Be sure to follow us at I call next pod. And so every time something cool drops, something fun drops, we, uh, we posted on, uh, on the Instagram, like recently earlier to earlier this week, uh, call of duty posted a new skin package on their marketplace that kind of sort of digs at a fortnight. So it's kind of cool.

So we're always posting fun stuff that pops up and then of course you can listen to the podcast on apple podcast and on the iHeartRadio app icon next podcast and of course you're part of the tailgater podcast which sports is going to be ramping up and i can't wait i know eric has been itching for some sports so and tyler as well real quick i don't want to get too much into sports because i'm sure you guys talk about this on tailgater so just follow tailgater sports or go to tailgatersports.com to listen to it but will i be in a stadium this year do you think yes or no i don't i mean i don't think so in california man i don't think so it's gonna it's gonna come down to whether or not the state allows it and And I feel like California is doing us a favor already

by just letting them play in the state. So me personally, I don't think you'll be in a stadium in California. Maybe if you go to a neighboring state, possibly. But I think it's going to be pretty hard to find a live sporting event that you can go to. It sucks because two awesome stadiums are launching this year, for the Raiders and then SoFi for the Rams and the Chargers. And those are two stadiums I want to check out, even though, you know, I'm not over the top sports guy where I know every little tiny detail.

But I just love that live experience. It just being in there with, you know, people that are super passionate about sports and enjoying the food and just enjoying the time together. And nothing is better than a new stadium unless it's the 49er stadium. That place sucks. No, I agree with that. But like Eric said, it's going to be on a state to state thing. That's why I mentioned earlier that if baseball comes back, I might go to Arizona for a game because I don't know if they're going to let people in Dodger Angel Stadium. But Arizona, I mean, they're opening their places up a lot more

or a lot faster than California is, so I might just go over there to Phoenix and go catch a Diamondbacks game. Yeah, just don't say you're from California because I'm hearing that Arizona is not liking all the Californians that are coming in. I have heard the same, so I will make sure to be quiet about that. I brought up a thought that has been in. I have heard the same, so I will make sure to be quiet about that. I brought up a thought that's been plaguing me for the past week or so,

ever since development started. I mentioned the Tailgater podcast, and I think this will apply to you, Menace, and probably Bort, and I think everyone in here. I don't think I want to go to a game if games come back and people are allowed to go back to stadiums, not for safety-wise, but just for the sake of enjoying the game. I don't think I want to go to a game if games come back and people are allowed to go back to stadiums not for safety wise but just for the sake of enjoying the game like I don't think I'm ready

to sit every other seat from somebody or waiting us wait six feet apart for somebody just to get a beer or just you know who knows what kind of crazy rules are going to put in because then it's like it's kind of it's not necessarily taking away from the game it's just for the sake of me watching it and enjoying it. I don't know if I'm going to enjoy it as much as I would. Well, I mean, obviously I would enjoy it as much as I would, but I don't know if I want to sit through all that or deal with all that. I agree with you.

I wouldn't want to go if I had to sit six feet from each other. You want to talk about crazy Karens, man. Get a couple sports fans alcoholed up, you know, and then tell them they can't stand a certain area in an arena as their team's getting pounded or something look how much fun we had when we went to see tennessee versus um kings that was so much fun right yeah like it is ripping on each other and you know when people score a goal and like high five and all that kind of stuff i just can't imagine going game and not being able to do that i just wonder though with all the cdc developments

that keep on coming out, like now they're saying that things don't even really need to be wiped down that much because it doesn't really transmit what happens if we reach a point where they're like, actually guys, you, you can do this or you can do that. And then the leagues realize just how much money and how much profit they

lost. Like, I don't know. Well, I mean, to be fair, this thing was so new. They didn't know. And I love, I love the people that are freak out. They're like,. Well, I mean, to be fair, this thing was so new, they didn't know.

And I love the people that are freaked out. They're like, see, you know, there's no cases, blah, blah, blah. Well, no ish, man, because no one is outside breathing on each other. If it doesn't survive on surfaces like they thought it did, then cool. That's awesome. That's great news. That helps us move forward. And if we have to be at a game and everybody's wearing masks and that's the big thing where people are spitting on each other and that's how it gets transmitted

then wear masks until we get this thing figured out yeah you want to know it's going to get people or get an NFL season to happen the fact that they say it's going to cost four billion dollars to cancel it so yeah true that'll that'll get somebody that'll light a fire under somebody's ass just wear your mask shut the hell up and enjoy the time until you ass for sure just wear your mask, shut the hell up and enjoy the time until you don't have to wear a mask anymore well with that, I'm gonna wrap this up of course, listen to the brand new
