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 Borch, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. We also have in studio, Eric from the NFL Podcasting Network. Like I never left. Also, we have in studio Heavy T living in Los Angeles now, a.k.a. Tyler.

He is looking awesome, by the way. He went to the Woody Show party last night. He sounds even better. We'll get into that. But I just walked into the studio, and I saw these two gentlemen standing here in front of me. And the amount of joy that I received by seeing you guys in the studio was like a Christmas miracle. Thank you for being here with us. I'm even more excited, though, because I don't have to stand behind the board for once. Yeah, we put Eric to work right away.

I walked in, and I kind of set my bag up on the other side of the desk and he's like, whoa, what are you doing? I'm like, behind the board. He's like, get behind the board. I walked in and I started doing nothing. I'm like, it's like I never left. It's like every single day you were here. True, true. You need your phone in your hand to look like... Oh, my bad.

Oh, there we go. Eric, how does it feel to be behind the board again? It was fun, honestly. It's fun being behind it and pushing the buttons and everything. Oh, there we go. Eric, how does it feel to be behind the board again? It was fun, honestly. It's fun being behind it and pushing the buttons and stuff. I did miss a button earlier, so I did fail my board test. But no, it's nice. It's

oddly neat. Very clean. Very clean. And then Eric goes, did these screens shrink or something? Did they get smaller? No, no, you work at the I tried not to be that guy and I walked right

into it. Did you get new screens? No, these just aren't the Big Mac ones. Oh, Big Mac ones. If I'm going to be that guy I might as well lean into it. Name dropping brands. He doesn't have these off-brand Dell wannabe computers

from 1995 okay cool got big screen energy yeah i'm sorry um well i'll just get into it real quick last night was the woody show party with the offspring brett myself and tyler were in the house uh we are extremely hungover and eric I know you had your work party last night. You know what's funny is I ended up bailing on my work party because my sister... No, so like that was 100% the plan. 100% the plan was going to the work party.

Topgolf, El Segundo. You know me. I'm not going to pass up Topgolf. My sister called me Wednesday. She called me Monday night and said she had tickets to go to King's Ducks. So I ended up at King's Ducks literally probably a hundred yards away from you guys all night so what the hell yeah I know you could have popped in for a second I texted I texted um I think I might have texted to the what's new you were busy obviously you probably didn't see it yeah I literally had the realization as I was getting off the freeway to go to the game and I'm like

wait a minute I'm literally right across the street from you guys. We would have walked you right in. Yeah, I know. Well, I was at the game. Not Tyler, we made him wait outside. Yeah, I can stand by. And I don't know if you guys saw Eric's videos and pictures already. He was in like a suite.

He was in a nice... At the Nike suite. Oh, so I did see that photo at the Nike table. And I just figured that you were at Topgolf. No, yeah, yeah. I had no idea what was going on. Yeah, it's a Nike table. Yeah. And I just figured that you were at Topgolf. No, yeah, yeah. I had no idea what was going on. Yeah, it's a Nike suite. So my sister's friend, Melanie, she works for Nike and she shoots us.

Whoa. Yeah, tickets are in there. That's awesome. Shout out to Melanie. Yeah. Shout out. All right. Well, I can't believe.

Tell me on the horn, baby. I'm back. I can't believe that you were so close because the party was very real, Eric, as you know, when it comes to the Woody Show parties. And I woke up this morning, man, just dry heaving. I was probably dry heaving like 40 minutes ago. But I rallied and I'm here. And did you see Tyler when you walked in? Tyler looked like death.

Are you okay, bro? He looks like he's going gonna puke at any moment. So I had a cough. That's a cough? My dumbass decided to sleep with the fan on because I got a little hot last night. Yeah, this is the result. That's the result.

Not being in a small venue packed with a thousand people drinking your ass off. I'm sure that played a part of it, too. I came in a little disheveled, but it's okay. Okay, so we gave you some wristbands to get into the VIP, and then I swear I only saw you in the VIP for like two minutes. He was out searching for milk mamas or something. No, no, no.

He's like, you know what he was? He was the college kid coming back home from out of town for the first time. He was walking the crowd waiting to be recognized. He was like, oh. That's what he was doing. He was walking the crowd like, look, I'm back in town. I'm heavy T. I live here now. May have worn his college sweater or whatever.

Better sports network across the street. Stop, stop, stop. It was a little weird because we were all in the VIP to start. Usually we do the intros on stage and everything. And I'm like, where's Tyler? He literally called me on the way here. He texted me. Where is he?

And then I see him. And there he is, just like the college kid. And the crowd is like, yep, just standing by the bar, kind of looking around. Who's going to notice me? The Milk Mamas are – by the way, you missed it. There was Milk Mamas around later for you. Apparently you missed them. Oh, no.

I got a number. Oh! That's cool. Nice. Wait, from a lady, though? Yeah. No. Oh, no.

Jeez. We did have a couple What's New Pod listeners that were in the crowd, like super fans. They were asking if Eric was here. No. Randy's here. No. I'm like, Tyler's here.

They're like, heavy cheese here. Heavy cheese. Where is he at? I ran into a bunch of them they were really cool guys he houdini'd man i don't know and he still hasn't explained where he went a little sidebar my mom was like mentioning she's like oh uh so she's like oh the people on your podcast you love brett randy menace and um heavy tony oh yes heavy tony i was like mom it's tyler oh oh heavy tony i like this heavy tony forever so what is the uh holiday plans now uh for everybody staying in town i mean together

fam i mean do y'all get holiday time like i mean we're so used to all working together and trying to like balance out a holiday schedule. I'll have Christmas Day off, which is nice because there is football on. They've shifted all the games to Saturday this week because they're not trying to have a full Sunday of games. If I have Sunday off, it looks like I'm going to have my

birthday off the day after. I've managed to get a couple days off here. Tyler, how's your work going? It's good. For this weekend, I do have Christmas Day off. They just decided to give everybody that off, which is dope. Christmas Eve. This guy's dying.

Are you okay, dude? I'm dying. Are you slowly dying? Is it a hangover? Are you sick? Are you congested? No, you know when you get that cough. It's cold outside, but

you leave the fan on. Yeah, we get the fans on. You said that like four times. Tyler, Tyler, I literally woke up today. Did you hear that? Death gurgle? Are you going to make it through this? Oh, no. Dude, I woke up and I had that.

See, look, I hacked mine out in 30 seconds. What's your excuse? It's still in there. No, I'm not going in 30 seconds. What's your excuse? It's still in there. No, I'm not going to be here. I'm not done. Oh, my God. How much did you drink last night?

That's a good question. Honestly, not that much. I had one vodka Red Bull and two beers, and that was it. Dude, I did? Yeah, I actually did. And you look like this? Yeah. You know what? We still haven't recovered from the long drive last night.

They didn't offer any cans upside down in a drink, so he didn't have it that many. Take a nap in the garage before you leave, man. Oh, in this parking garage? Yeah, the whole time. Yeah, he's going to be saying, ooh, yeah, it's nice and cozy in here. Yeah, just park by one of my MediCars.

Like, find over there and they won't bother you. Wait, Tyler, how, speaking of, Tyler drove back here, right? How many days did you drive back in? Because it felt like you did it in two. So that's the whole thing. The Houston run from Houston back to LA. I made it back in two days.

Two days? Yeah, no, dude. He was giving us updates. He was like... He's lying. Yeah. So first day was Houston to El Paso, which is ridiculous

because they're obviously both in Texas. But it's the opposing sides, right? It's a nine and a half hour drive from one to the other. Texas is so dumb, man. Even the size of it is so ridiculous. It's just stupid big. And then the next day, I had a plan. I said, okay, we're going to leave El Paso.

I'm going to see how I'm feeling around Phoenix. If I'm good, we're going to get to the border. If I'm good, we're going to get to Palm Springs. If I'm good, we're just going to go all the way. Ended up going all the way. Twelve and a half, 13 hours. Nice. You do remember that Menace was in Palm Springs.

Lily said, stop here. And I hit him up. I said, hey, look, really appreciate the invite to stop. But I was like, I'm going to blow through. Because I wanted to get home before it got dark. So I ended up getting home right about sunset. All right, sweet. Yeah.

That's cool. Have you been to the beach yet? No, I have not. Wow. You are tired. Wow. You should have stopped and stayed with us, man. Finally got my feet. It was a rough two days when I got back home because I didn't have a mattress yet.

So I'm just sleeping. I spent the first two nights on the couch. Nice. You have 20,000 brothers and not one of them left the bed behind well i mean they all took it so i mean it's cool like the room is slowly turned into my workspace so it's whatever all right um so when i was leaving the house i realized that i had a bunch of stuff that i've been gathering through my travels for tyler that i've never given to him oh so i have in this bag right here oh it's a whole box of goodies a whole bag of goodies one of the things you're gonna have to close your eyes eric but uh

no no you can oh okay this one here's the first item okay what am i looking at here you go this is when i was in orlando black t-shirt okay what do we look like t-shirt it's a when i went to hulk hogan oh hell yes beach this is legit that's so sick yes that is really sick actually oh yeah and then i will be worried the hell out of this is dope as hell and then um all right so let me see. Which one's which? Okay, so when I did that T-Mobile event and they're giving out mini bats. I forgot about that. So Eric, here's the Angels mini bat. But he did request another mini bat.

I forgot about this. And what logo is on this mini bat, Eric? I can see the tape color. It's gross. See, but he's not in Houston anymore, so that schtick was left behind, right? We don't have to deal with this Houston H-Town crap anymore. What's that name that's branded in there? What is that?

Heavy Tony. Heavy Tony! Yeah! I completely forgot about these. That's right. So you have your mini bats and your T-shirt. And a dope-ass shirt. Let's go.

Oh, I did pick up something, Eric. Brett, I'm sorry. I don't have anything for you today, but I love you, and I will get you something. But I was in the mall, and I saw a jib that spoke to me that I was like, oh, we should get this for Eric. And it's a Dodgers jib. Yeah. New one with the palm tree. Nice.

Oh, this is actually really sick, that palm tree. Oh, my God, the jib new one with the palm tree nice this is actually really sick that palm tree oh my god the jibs and then since you know Randy always cries that he doesn't get free stuff I got a french bulldog

for Randy that looks like his frenchie chip chip chip you mean his former frenchie that's not with his mom yeah

that frenchie that was his for like a week and a half and then his mom just inherited thank you man it's no problem did you guys notice that Randy has a cat now yes that's my favorite part of the morning That was his for like a week and a half. And then his mom just inherited it. Thank you, man. No problem. Did you guys notice that Randy has a cat now? Yes.

That's my favorite part of the morning is me walking out to my car because Gio leaves about the same time as me. I've seen some of you guys' videos. The cat sits in the door and watches me. I'd like to think that it recognizes me and it's like, bye. But I know you're such an animal lover. I'm sure you love having an animal at least across the way from you. Yeah. It's fun when I do have to run over for him, do something like put a package in.

I do get to pet the cat. Aw, nice. Has the cat ever tried to attack you? No, it's a loving cat. Okay. I have no idea what the name of it is. Her? I think it's a her.

I think you said it was like Miss Mittens or something. No, no. I call it Mr. Mittens. But I know it's not its name it's some i i want to say it's some anime sounding name like with a k oh you're right like kimi simi or something like that i remember the first time he ever mentioned it yeah hentai warrior i don't know so first first time he ever mentions the cat eric's like oh what about mr mittens i'm like who the f is mr and randy's like oh yeah i got a, got it. I think I have a name that's not the actual name for every one of Randy's pets. Like John Sebastian Jaguar is his Frenchie because it's an old duck scully and it's a French guy.

And Mr. Mittens and yeah. Shasta did ask me, she's like, what the hell happened to Randy's dog? And I'm like, I don't know. Chip. I think he abandoned it somewhere just like all his other pets. Well, now he has a, Now I got to get a drink. I'm so hungover. Now he has a jib to represent a dog.

Represents a lost love. There you go. Menace, you said you need a drink. Yes. I don't know if you guys noticed, but there was a palette that was dropped off here recently with a sign that said don't take. There was. Oh, yes.

So. Oh, hell yeah. Now in 12-pack form, variety pack, canteen vodka soda. Variety pack. Well, you know the guy that left a sign that said don't take? I saw him yesterday and he said, hey, if you want to take any of that, go ahead. So I was like, stashing what I can right now

because I think Eric's running low and he needs it. He's addicted. Tequila soda actually looks really good. This ranch water. i had the uh what was it the blood orange is it blood orange sounds good the tequila soda one yeah yeah here you go well more random stashed items for you guys sweet even though you're not here we're still thinking of you know look you come here i know we present gifts for you guys and And a dying Tyler. And a dying Tyler. Dead Tyler. All right.

So 2023 is going to happen pretty soon. Do you guys ever set any goals for the new year? I usually set out a plan. I set out my vision board for the year and just think of stuff that I want to do or accomplish in the new year. Tyler, do you have any? I think I have two. Okay.

And they're both, I mean, not that goals aren't serious, but I mean, they're both legit. First one, get out of as much debt as I can. That's the whole reason I moved back here to the first place. So that's the first one. Second one, I'm going actually like try and like legitimately lose weight this time really so i did hit the scale and it's a little bit higher than i would like and by that i mean a lot yeah should we just put it out there so that way you can actually like

okay this is what it is everybody knows i have to do we get weigh it. Do we get weigh-ins? Should we get weigh-ins on the podcast every couple weeks? Yeah, maybe like once a month. Okay. Yeah, once a month. It was, if I remember correctly, it was 335. 335? It would be nice to be under 300 again. Really?

You hold the... Yeah, that's actually... You look pretty good for 335. I mean, that's the one thing about me. I hold it really well. Yeah, I thought you were like 280. No, not even close, no. Really? I would have guessed close to three to be honest but 335 yeah you're having pretty well i haven't been 280 since oh god maybe 2015 you sound you sound like you weigh 335 you sound like

it you don't look like it that's good i guess you don't look like it at all i'm so glad i did buy tyler a christmas sweater i was lucky one. I saw like three there for him. I'm like, I don't think they have three X. Isn't it hard? It's hard. I always hate buying clothes for people. Cause I feel like I'm,

I'm so bad at judging sizes. Yeah. And then I feel like I'm insulting somebody. If like, you know, too big. Like, Oh,

what do you, what do you think? What are you saying? Or you buy it too small. And then you're like, they're never going to wear that. You know, it's like,

Oh, so maybe for Tyler though, maybe we do get him like maybe the whole kogan shirt maybe from now on we only get him smaller size shirts and it's a motivation to keep going it's all his favorite stuff measuring stick shirt yeah i would say 2x 2x of that okay 2x all right all right yeah like uh i feel the same way i've've been trying to at least be active every day, like getting my steps in more and more every day. I need to get on a set plan of going to the gym. So I'm right there with you.

I'm trying to think of stuff that I want to do in 2023. I want to finish having furniture in my house because I've lived there over a year, and there's still just dead space that i haven't got any furniture um and then also uh what i don't know just try to be more organized right in general i just feel like no i think everything is like always i'm always like in disarray on keeping up with everything. So I think being more organized is one of my goals. Eric? So yeah, I mean, similar to Tyler, start off financials.

Just get that in order. I don't have a wedding that's kind of siphoning off the top anymore. I do have a car payment that's starting up my new car. So that car payment starts up in January. So that'll kind of take something off the top. But yeah, financials, try to get something in order because I do want to move into a house or something, not an apartment soon. Maybe, I don't think that'll kind of take something off the top but yeah financials try to get something in order because i do want to move into a house or something not an apartment soon maybe i don't think that'll be this year but down the road um corny cheeseball adult stuff maybe have a kid next year that'd be

crazy that'd be crazy damn son um but yeah so that i mean i don't know find a new hobby something i have a lot of free time at home so it's's like, and I do just sit around and watch. I mean, I know I'm the sports guy and I just do that so much of that. I don't know. Read a book or two. Read a book. Yeah. No, no, no.

Find a hobby. I agree. I did a Lego set. I finally did the Pokeball little Lego that I did with Leanne. Literally. I still have it from Randy. Yeah. We finally did it and we were like, we were having fun with that.

So I was like, oh, she's like, do you want to do Legos? I'm like, maybe not like do Legos, but if we see them. If they're fun. Do ones. So it's storing them at that point. So that's a problem. But no, maybe find a hobby, have a kid, get some money in my bank account. Damn, you're like an adult, dude.

What happened to you, bro? I think one of those is going to conflict with the other one. A lot of those plans are going gonna probably negate the financial one i saw just yeah i saw like just the other day something that said edc and i thought of you dude but i'm like that you're not that guy anymore i'm not you know what's funny is i me and brett do this we will regularly i mean i check it every day but we'll share like the cringe ones the facebook memory posts oh yeah when i use, like Twitter and like put stupid updates and then, but it's like,

yeah, every now and then it's like, oh yeah, usually in June because that's when EDC used to be. And it's like, you know, get those ones, the pictures or the posts.

And I'm like, dude, what the hell are you doing? What the hell? Yeah. Insane. Brad, what about you?

What's, what's the goal? Oh God. Can we celebrate? I mean, it was out there goal oh god is that wait can we celebrate i mean it was out there on the woody show so can we celebrate that that bork got a new car everybody hell yeah it is freaking awesome dude yeah so i got a 2023 rav4 starting off from toyota oh you got a brand brand new car brand brand new right off the lot How nice is that? You know what's funny? Driving to Conger Room last night, there was a 2023 RAV4 right in front of me from the same dealership, Longo Toyota.

Like, same color and everything. And I looked at Shaz, I'm like, is that my car? Because we were driving her car to Conger Room. Oh, he's already paranoid that it got stolen. I was like, what the heck just happened? We just left it. It should be fine. No, but I'm very excited. I haven't had a new car in 16 years i love my my focus it was amazing car i still have it it might be somewhere very close by right now uh suspiciously unsuspiciously

there we go um but yeah it's really cool there's so many features on it i don't even understand so like when i i went to test drive it i thought I was turning on the air I turned on the heated seats how nice are heated seats though I'm not a fan though but my wife is I love the heated seats man Menace got in my car for like 10 feet he just wanted to ride in it for a second

and he like moved something on the ceiling he's like oh nice sunroof and I'm like I have a sunroof I didn't know that he's like you don't know the specs I'm like i have a sunroof he's like you don't know the specs i'm like no i just said give me that one done easy but yeah i'm more paranoid of someone digging the car and i know menace had a situation just yesterday yes and like i'm so like because people in la not from here it's always the transplants that are terrible effing drivers

and super aggro and hit everybody's cars. But I'm like, if I can't, if I have to park in like a very rough aggro area, oh, I'm taking the wife's car. Like,

it's fine. And it's compact. It can fit into everything. My car, I'm like, I want space, but they ain't going to give it to me. I've started parking

in the back parking lots. I'm like, I'll take the extra feet, you know, the extra couple steps. How long have you had your new car now? Maybe two and a half months, beginning of October.

Wow. Look at you guys coming up in the world. And, like, I'm going to be honest. My plan is also to get a new car maybe by the end of the year. Okay. Because my jet is a 2008. End of this year? Possibly by the end of this year, yeah.

All right. But, like, well, here's the thing. Like, in six days? Oh, my bad. How much are you getting paid in this new place? End of 2023. Oh, okay. That makes more sense.

But here's the thing. He's going to jump in another lease of another $30,000. I was like, a solid used car for me? I consider that brand new. Whatever's new to me. Like, I don't care. Yeah. All right.

So I got a 2000. Can I interest you in a Focus? Yeah, would you like a Ford Focus? I'm okay with that. It's a great car. But Brett, you haven't shared your whole plan for 2023. Do you have any? Yeah, so I really don't like to set goals,

but like the last year has been just such a refreshing reset for me because I had a really bad, let's see, 2020. So 2021, I had a really rough year and it took me at the end of the year to go, I'm cutting loose a lot of things I don't need. A lot of dead weight. Eric, Randy, yeah. I didn't want to cut him loose.

But when they told me how much money, I'm like, get out, leave right now. No, but like, it was just a lot of excess stuff that I'm like, this is weighing on me. This is killing my sleep. It's killing my memory. It's killing my health my health all these things i just need to refocus and reset and just structuralize something so i already worked on my sleep this year i worked on hobbies so for eric i started reading every day uh i started watching anime just so like i felt

like i accomplished something i started building model kits all these little things to just kind of help so i feel like this year is more i need need to work on, uh, my body a little bit. So I'm going to join Tyler. You know, I'm not that, I'm not heavy, but you know, I would like my stomach not to be a beer gut, you know, and try to work on that. Yeah. Like a little bit of that, but also, um, I just really want to focus on being better at communicating with friends and talking to friends.

Cause I feel like that got lost years ago in my exhaustion. focus on being better at communicating with friends and talking to friends because i feel like that got lost years ago in my exhaustion and i just want to like try to be better at communicating and oh and also lose debt that too that money get that risk yeah always a good thing yeah but man it's hard with this schedule you know like it's hard to even like keep up a text conversation with somebody because you're like tired you're like i's hard to even like keep up a text conversation with somebody because you're like tired you're like i don't feel like texting right now the only times i get my calls in and now that you have a new car you have that car play is uh when i'm driving yeah i just i knock out all my calls yeah on the freeway all day every day i think that's the best place because

when i'm at home i don't want to be on the phone. Yeah. Yeah, same. And that's been a problem for me because I used to have hour commutes to like Orange County and now I'm like, I live three minutes away. You don't have the car long enough. I know. And then I lose connection in my parking lot. I'm like, I don't want to call nobody back. Screw that. Yeah. All right. Switching gears though, now that we've

had some time off, I finally caught up and it got released on HBO Max. Black Adam. you didn't like it i didn't even watch it oh yeah not gonna lie i didn't watch it either remember i was talking crap about it i'm over the rock a little bit man dude i okay so um that love and thunder thor that was terrible yeah that was pretty bad too. God awful. I have this thing after like movies that are just kind of like, when it's over, it's like

well, that was a movie. That was pretty much it. That was something. Hot garbage. And I don't understand like so, you know, people are bashing Black Adam. I thought Black Adam was great. Superhero fatigue. I've been telling you this for a long time. They're just over it.

There's too much. They're burnt every month. There's a superhero movie. Even if it was a great movie, even a Black Adam was awesome. I haven't watched it yet. Even if it was great, they're going to be like, no, not going to watch it. We're burnt. We don't want to do that.

I'll watch it before the next episode. That's exactly how I am. The last superhero movie I saw was Spider-Man. I didn't see the new Doctor Strange. Didn't watch that. Didn't see Black Panther. Didn't watch that. Didn't see Black Adam. I just don't really care. Didn't watch Spider-Man. No, none of them new Doctor Strange. Didn't watch that. Didn't see Black Panther. Didn't watch that. Didn't see Black Adam.

I just don't really care. Didn't watch Spider-Man. No, none of them. That one was actually good though. That one burnt. I saw three Spider-Mans in the early 2000s. I'm good. I don't need to watch anymore. I'm fine. You put something in the group chat though, Eric. It was from Barstool, right? Or was it Randy? I think it was you or Randy.

What was your top three Christmas movies? Oh, yeah, yeah. It was like, you got to keep three list. And they had the classics. Let me see if I pulled up real quick. Yeah, it was like,

you got to keep three list. And then you had all the heavy hitters. You know, I had Christmas Story, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Elf, Bad Santa, Love Actually. Didn't realize that was on there.

What the hell? Die Hard, Home Alone 2, It's a Wonderful Life, Jingle All the Way, Just Friends, The Santa Claus. And it's like pretty much keep three. And I kept The Santa Claus, Elf, and Home Alone. I think I've watched Home Alone three times already this year. It's on all the time.

You toss it on and you just kind of watch it. It's like the new Christmas story. The holidays hit. Christmas story would be on like a 24-hour loop. now i feel like that's what's happening with home alone so i picked the christmas story home alone but then the sleeper hit for me is bad santa dude i freaking love that santa's really good bad santa's good like it's i watch it but it's it's a little i mean when i go to christmas it's like i want the christmas wholesome stuff like bad but it's a little... I mean, when I go to Christmas, it's like I want the Christmas wholesome stuff. Like, Bad Santa's a little... I feel sad almost a little bit sometimes.

It is very sad. I'm like, this is kind of bringing me down a little bit. I know. Yeah, it's not very Hallmark wholesome. No, it's not. It's funny. I like it. It's not that I don't like it,

but it's like if I'm watching Christmas, I don't want to be like... I don't want Billy Bob Thornton grunting at me and stuff. I like that Eric is wholesome at Christmas all the other times of the year. Everything else. I lean into Christmas, man. I lean into Christmas. Tyler, what was your choices?

Mine was Die Hard, Elf, and Home Alone. I mean, Home Alone, duh, it's a classic Christmas movie. Elf is peak Will Ferrell. I love Elf. And then then die hard i've considered that a christmas movie ever since i first saw it so yeah die hard one and two they're both christmas batman returns christmas it is tyler died just at batman returns what the hell is that a cough

by a bird i was trying not to laugh like you know dude you know you know when you have a cough and you're in a room that you just can't and you just feel it and it gets so much worse. Like I can almost like feel his cough in his throat because I know he's sitting on a huge one. He's just like releasing it. Try not to die, man. What if we give Tyler one of these Cantina tequila sodas? You know what, considering I have to drive home, maybe a monster would probably be a little bit better. There's a fridge right there.

Go grab one. Menace, if you could pass me one, please. Oh, Menace, can you pass me one? I said please, okay? I said please. So I've had to warn every single person that's come to the show, don't be like Tyler. What are you talking about? Don't try to big time anybody.

Oh. Alright, my queen. Big time Tony. Tony, yeah. Don't call me big time Tony. Big time Tony. What was that, dude? Big time Tony My queen Big time Tony Yeah Don't call me big time Tony Big time Tony Yeah What was that dude Big time Tommy What was that guy Oh god

Dude I think you might be Related to him Definitely not Okay Probably way as much As he does though I'm surprised none of you

Said like You guys all said Home Alone I'm such a sequel guy I love Home Alone 2 So much You know I just I recently watched it

like from start to finish for the first time I've seen it before like completely in a long time and it's a good one but then I'm just I just can't get past like the like okay we did this already you know we did this already it is it is like it's obviously a different plot line but it's like okay it's in New York

I mean that's what I like because I never really we did it again but like I never traveled out that way did you did you guys ever watch home alone 3 i don't remember but i did watch it okay so home alone 3 i only remember because i was you know i was a kid when i watched it and i was pissed i'm like dude there's no kevin mccallister what the heck is this but then there's the debut of a young scarlett johansson oh and it was around the same age range as me and i'm like oh yeah who's this girl i did a watch for a few years shout out home alone three isn't there like four or five of them total now like spin-offs yeah don't watch the rest

and they got each one of them has the corny kid face like i'm like okay i get what you're doing here but can we stop with the same like covertt did you give your full list uh home alone 2 die hard as well and then um jingle all the way jingle always good that's an underrated one yeah but it just doesn't stack up with my with with elf like it's it's like you get into like what they're really like 1a 1b 1c i like jingle all the way is good i would put it if it was top four or five would probably make the list. Love Actually with F, is that the one? Just Friends? Nope.

That's just ruining. Jingle All The Way, man. A dad is searching for this present for his kid, his snot-nosed little brat kid that doesn't deserve it. That kid deserved whatever happened in their life. That kid became young Anakin. The fight scene in the parade, the Sinbad chasing.

I always love, I mean, us being radio guys, when they barge into the radio station and the guy's like, you said I have it here. It's like people's

concept of radio jocks and you see it portrayed on TV is so funny, dude. However, the fact that he was able to break into the radio station and there's no security guards,

that is very accurate. Fakes a bomb threat. Yeah, see? Stuff like that. Come on. Come on, put that cookie down. Alright, I'm going to give you a little bit of food news before we wrap up because I'm barely standing right now. Alright, real quick.

Food news. Panera Bread. Panera Bread, which I never go to and there's a thousand locations everywhere. They have these new citrus-charged lemonades. So they're basically lemonades with caffeine in them. Nice. They have mango, and then they also have uzu, which is like a type of lemon, Japanese lemon.

They have uzu fizz at Blue B coffee which i love uzu's blowing up guys calling it right now uzu huh you're gonna see people are gonna go uzu crazy panera bread is getting on board also there's some test markets right now guys they're taking mexican pizza to another level what do we got interested no you interested. You ready? Yes. No. Only available in Nebraska. What the heck? Why? People in Nebraska like Taco Bell. And Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Where all the white people are. It's called Mexican pizza. Bring it to the Mexicans. Cheesy jalapeno Mexican pizza. Sounds good. Jalapenos. I see why it's released in the white areas. Take it. And the triple crunch mexican pizza so you know that's gonna be like another layer yeah two layers i would like that

because honestly the the the tostada i guess you could air quote because it's not tostada it's like more of a chip on the mexican pizza is the best part so a little more crunch of that would be really good and it does fall apart and get soggy yeah so an extra layer that would really help yeah i might need mexican pizza tonight i've yet to have a mexican pizza since the return i've had quite a few because um leanne was just leanne's recently been turned on to them like she didn't get them when she was younger she had a bite of mine once and like within the last year and she's like well that's really good hit so she and she's she really dives into liking stuff so she's like i'm craving that's really good. She got hit. And she really dives into liking stuff. She's like,

I'm craving a Mexican pizza. I'm like, I've had like probably five in the past two months. Did you guys notice that in our resolutions for next year or our goals,

Eric wants to not say lose weight or get in shape and here he is bragging about it. Sorry, my bad. Dude, I'm driving to Nebraska to get that pizza. Didn't mention losing weight,

but did mention having a kid. So you know what that means. I'm going to gain weight. No, the dad bod's incoming. Yeah. It's going to happen. Oh, dad bod. I can't mention losing weight, but did mention having a kid. So you know what that means. I'm going to gain weight. No, the dad bod's incoming. Yeah. It's going to happen. Oh, dad bod. I can't wait until Eric has a big old gut like that.

Finally, he joins us. All right, guys. Well, I'm going to wrap this up. We probably not going to have a new podcast until next year. So this is it. I want to thank you guys for always being a part of the podcast. Eric and Tyler, keeping up with it, even though you're no longer with us. Yeah, no.

Just Instagram. Terms of service. Just in case. Something crazy happened on Twitter. Elon, he'll step down. Do you see that there's a campaign and he's getting behind it too. Tom from MySpace is in the mix.

I'd be down for that. They're looking for a new CEO for Twitter. Bring back the top eight. Yeah, dude. People and Tom is joining in on the tweets. He says I'm down. Dude. That'd be the comeback of all time. It's like your old friend

coming back to save like your group and it's like, oh dude, hell yeah, you're back in town. It's like Tyler returning but like more fun.

Yeah. That's fair. They're way cooler. And they don't sound like they're dying. Yeah. That's the fun cool part. He's dying every second.

Yeah, I love seeing Tom up in the mix. So hopefully Tom, let's put Tom as CEO of Twitter. That'd be awesome. All right. What else is going on? second yeah i love seeing tom up in the mix so hopefully uh tom let's put tom as ceo of twitter that'd be awesome all right um what else is going on um go to nerd now podcast.com i think she's releasing some some episodes uh while we're on vacation as well check out friday hour go to

fridayhour.com check out our boy joe coy that's j-o-k-o-y.com check out our buddy fluffy gabriel glacius he is going to be doing his last show at the mirage because the mirage is turning into the hard rock hotel do you see the the drawings for this thing the guitar right the guitar pretty much takes up the entire strip it is massive that's cool it's huge they have a guitar hotels in another state, right? Yeah, in Florida. I've seen this already. Why haven't I seen it again? But yeah, it's like...

Jeez! It's huge. Yeah, I'm super excited, but I don't even know how they're going to do this, but they're going to continue operating the Mirage as they're doing the construction. I'm guessing it's going to do this but they're going to continue operating the mirage as they're doing the construction so i'm guessing that it's going to be super cheap to get hotel rooms there probably

if they're going to do construction and still keep it open i don't know how so wait i i obviously miss this is the mirage turning into the hard rock yes yeah so the mirage is going to be no more done yeah yeah because the hard rock your last day there tyler actually yeah that's right yeah and your last day at the uh or not the last day but last time we were at the hard rock was the last time the hard rock was a hard rock yeah before it became virgin that's yeah right i believe so damn when did this happen well it's been i mean the hard rock transition of versions been been a while no no that i know but the mirage. It's probably like past seven months. It was officially bought recently.

Yeah, okay. It's actually kind of a rad thing, though, if you think about it, because nobody gets laid off. They all keep their jobs while everything's still going, and everything keeps running there. And I wonder if the city is very happy with that. Like, hey, we're just going to keep everything flowing. We're keeping money coming in. We're keeping everybody employed.

I'd imagine so. It's kind of weird, though, because you're losing the Mirage, which has been a staple on the strip, but you're gaining the Hard Rock, which was also a staple. It's back, baby. It's kind of evened out, I guess. Yeah. More space, too.

The Hard Rock is always kind of underwhelming, just kind of small. Yeah. You know? But I'm going gonna be really interested on what those rates are gonna be during construction you might get a kick-ass deal to stay on the strip it's gonna be cool i'll deal with some construction signs and stuff around the hotel hell yeah me too uh thirty dollars tonight yes please i'll deal with some asbestos or whatever jackhammer running for 10 hours straight all good i'm not gonna be in my room. You know what I just realized? I have bags here for you guys.

Really? Before we wrap up. I forgot. So I may have went to a store. Shout out to FYE, by the way. FYE is making a giant comeback. Oh, I see. I was telling Woody and of course Greg had no idea what FYE was.

Oh, what is FYE? I remember it. All right. If you're from Southern California or the East Coast, you may have heard of Sam Goody, Suncoast, Second Spin, The Warehouse. I remember it. All right. If you're from Southern California or the East Coast, you may have heard of Sam Goody, Suncoast, Second Spin, The Warehouse, The Warehouse, E2 Musica, any of those. They were all bought by FYE, and they all folded into FYE.

They lost their stores, closed, but now they're bringing it back. Malls all over. I know. It's crazy. Dude, there's so much stuff in them. So I may have been there, and I may have found ridiculous items, and they made me laugh. So I'm like, you know what? I'm going to buy ridiculous items for you guys.

Oh, my. What? Bored, I didn't even have a gift for you today. I got a bag, too. Oh. What? See? Eric has a bag, too.

with a bunny with antlers it's so cute it's so pretty it's a jackalope and I did it because it's a slide against God because it's evolution oh no oh it burns your mom's gonna get that out of my house alright yeah not the port-a-potty shot glass

but the jackalope from Eric oh yes Yeah, not the port-a-potty shot glasses, but the Jackalope. From Eric. Oh, yes. Is it French toast sticks or waffle stick maker? Waffle sticks. It's not a one-touch pancake maker, but it's small enough. I was thinking you could store it here or take it home, whatever. If you ever want to fire up some quick little waffle sticks.

Oh, hell yeah. Not a one-touch, but that would get the job done. I'm going to definitely do it on the air here. Eric gave me an adorable Funko Pop of Shohei Otani

for his... He's going to die. I'm about to die. He's choking through the joke. He has one year left with the Angels. So you can remember him when he's a Dodger next year.

Sounds like you have one year left. Jesus H. And Eric got me a Funko, a Baby Yoda with cookies. Hell yeah. My nephew stepped on the box there, so that's why it's a little crumpled. That's okay, because you know what? I'm going to open it.

I was about to say, it was funny. So he stepped on the bag. It was by my TV. And I looked at Brett, like the Grogu box. And I was like like the one person who might not take it out of the box and the box is jacked now

have you seen my desk and all the stuff here hell yeah oh yeah Ted the Star Wars all bobble headed oh my god

bobble headed hell yeah that's dope thanks man it's awesome now I'll look at it every day and go Eric used to work here

So, I guess we have the Woody Show in 2023. I mean, there's still best of podcasts that are being released, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And as I mentioned on the last podcast, I don't know if it's made it in or not, but on the last podcast I said, this is the last time you're going to hear these special moments. It's all new from here on out.

You're never going to hear these again for a couple reasons. One person's no longer here. And I just want one last special moment. So to tease that. He's got the schedule. Winter break schedules. Oh, yeah. Love it.

Oh, yeah. Eric remembers these. You know what's funny? I just recently cleaned out a backpack and I had a huge stack from the summer break in my backpack still. Yeah. If you're listening next week,

you can hear the infamous hot seat where Menace got crapped on for the Joe Coy podcast that then turns into crapping on Seabass for Secret Girlfriend. Oh my god. That's a good one. Secret Girlfriend's a classic one. And I won't tell you what daisies happen, so you gotta listen.

Let's see, we got Fat Roll Challenge. Secret Girlfriend calls in. Greg's douchey neighbor that called him fat. Higher Education. We also got the Glory Hole Challenge Greg's douchey neighbor that called him fat. Higher education. We also got the Glory Hole Challenge with, not with men, as somebody else who may get a dildo in his mouth. We'll see.

Lofts is a bodega menace. Sebastian saw them, hated them. Cartnarks, Tortilla Factor Slap, and Greg Gorey's Lesbian Stories. Oh, sweet. All next week. I gotta say, moving to the NFL, my interactions with dildos have really dropped off. There's not as much dildos around me at the NFL as there was here.

Question, now that you have a drive, do you listen to the show ever? I flip it on. It's just pretty much when I rotate. Does it feel weird? It does because it's like, I know what's happening. Like, well, obviously, but it's like, I'm listening, but I know what's like gone into getting it to there. I can't turn off my, like my Woody show mind, you know?

So now it's like, you know how the, you know, the kitchen already, you know, everything's made, you know? And you know, but no, I do listen. It's on my rotation. So I pretty much just down. Commercial down. Commercial down. Have you at any point been tuning in and going,

I bet Brett is annoyed at this point. Oh, definitely. Definitely. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, that was a little sloppy there. Or it's like I'll turn on and it's like, depending on what time it is, I'll look at the clock. I'm like, ooh, running a little late today.

Brett's about to be aggro. Somebody needs to get to break. Alright. Any last words, Tyler? Literally. We might see you next year. Who knows? I'm going to go home and try not to die. We'll leave it at that. We'll see if I make it into the new year.

Eric? No, I mean, to really echo what you guys said, I have a blast. Thanks for listening. out to die we'll leave it at that we'll see if i make it into the new year okay eric uh no i mean to really echo what you guys said i have a blast you know thanks for listening you listening to us talk which is crazy to me to really think about sometimes like literally people just literally choose to listen to what we're saying is still crazy to think about pretty awesome we um so really quick randy store on the way out just jumping off that. A mailman was dropping off a package to his girlfriend, Gio, at our apartment. And he listens to What's New. No way. He saw Randy's name and he's like, oh, blah, blah, blah.

Is this by any chance Randy from the Woody show? I listen to What's New. And he's like, and I know that Eric said he lived in Downey by Randy. So he's like, I'm just connecting the dots. And Randy's like, yeah, our mailman listens to the podcast. So maybe if he's listening or he listens to the Woody show. Shout out to Downey by Randy. So he's like, I'm just connecting the dots. And Randy's like, yeah, our mailman listens to the podcast. So maybe if he's listening or he listens to the Woody show. Shout out to Downey mailman. Shout out to the mailman.

Do you know what's crazy is mailman FedEx something. He was delivering a package. Randy was the first one to pretty much leave, right? Right. To go get another job.
