Okay, we figured this out last week.
You, that mic, him, that mic, you two share.
Tyler over there.
What's new? What's new with menace what's up everybody and welcome to another edition of the what's new podcast with menace
I am menace I am 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 a. His name is Nick Soundwave.
We also call him Eric because that is his real name.
He is E Soundwave on Instagram.
We have Randy who works on the Woody Show,
and he is a radio DJ himself on Alt 98.7 in Los Angeles.
What's up?
And speaking of Alt 98.7, we have Tyler,
who is the board operator for the Woody Show on Alt 987 in Los Angeles and Orange County.
What is up, guys?
What's up?
Can I say something before we start?
Oh, God.
So I've been noticing this recently with Tyler.
And I brought this up to these guys' attention.
I don't think Tyler's properly following protocol in regards to being clean and not doing gross stuff.
Because I caught Homeboy with a Sharpie in his mouth this morning.
Am I doing it right?
He probably put it back.
Where's that Sharpie?
It's in my personal little cubby.
You're lying.
I swear to God.
You're not supposed to believe it.
And I can't tell because they say the symptoms of Corona
are you're sweaty.
It sounds like you're coughing a lot.
Yeah, that's his natural state. And he looks like that all the time. It sounds like you're coughing a lot. That's his natural state.
And he looks like that all the time.
He looks like Corona.
If you type it up, you see his photo.
The little virus ball?
Yes.
And then here's another thing.
I've always pinpointed Tyler as patient zero here at the station.
His brother works at a grocery store, surrounded by people.
We're going to get it. He lives in a house with
900 people who are around more
people and more people and boom.
I am a responsible person. I leave
this building and I go back to my house.
I'd rather just stay in my house bunkered
in, but we're coming in. I don't
know why we're making such a big deal about the quarantine thing.
I've already been doing the stuff they're asking
us to do and suddenly it's like, why am I making this
a big deal? I'm just going home and sitting.
Same old, same old.
Because someone told you you can't do something.
So, of course, like a child, you're going to go, I want to do it anyway.
Tyler seems to be outside in the world more that we have to be quarantined.
I know.
Every day he's like, I got to stop here.
I got to stop there.
I got to touch this.
I got to touch that.
I got to go shop again for some reason today.
Look, look.
Here's the thing.
Look, my dad has a bum foot, so he can't
go do it. My brothers,
some of their jobs are still open.
Can you just take care of everything in one trip?
That's what we've been saying.
Every other store. Last week,
I went to eight stores in one day
trying to get everything at the same time.
And then how many the next day after that? One.
And then how many the day after that? One. Why?
Because they're all at the same time.
You guys not have a grocery list?
And he's touching all the equipment in all the studios.
I'm fine.
I'm good.
Patient zero, everybody.
Patient zero.
Eight stores?
In one day.
He's touching the stores.
And then he goes to multiple stores.
He's touching the stores.
He's licking his fingers when he leaves, getting in the cars.
God.
Did you eat anything?
I did not eat anything.
From store to store?
No, I did not.
Why?
I'm worried about him.
Such lies.
He doesn't wash his hands from store to store.
But maybe we should get him a hat.
There's hand sanitizer, little sanitation things.
Do you just roll over to get to your house?
No.
Oh, my God.
Do you want me to wear a freaking GoPro everywhere I go?
Yes.
I want you to live stream
every single movement
that you do
and I want you to
wear a rubber suit
when you walk in the studio.
What's that Disney movie
with that kid
who's in a giant bubble?
Bubble Boy?
Bubble Boy?
That's not a Disney movie.
Oh, I don't know.
There was boobs
in that movie.
I don't know if it's Disney.
Oh, there is?
Rip, I gotta watch it.
Why don't we just
put him in a giant bubble?
Because I will pop the bubble
and come infect your house on purpose. He'll hyperventilate. We get it. Rip, I gotta watch it. Why don't we just put them in a giant bubble? Because I will pop the bubble and come infect your house on purpose.
He'll hyperventilate.
We get it. Anyways, real quick before we get
into some more talk like this.

we had to cancel a bunch of things.

So get on our Instagram, enter those.
Now, here's the thing.
A serious question I want to ask you.
Now that we're a couple weeks in on this coronavirus,
how has it affected you personally?
My mom's gotten really annoying.
That's pretty much about it.
Every day I get home.
Oh, my God, dude.
You have no idea. He melted
down to us about 20 minutes ago.
He went on a rant.
Before all this happened, once my dad passed,
I decided to put security stuff around the house.
So cameras, ring doorbells, I got all that.
It's all in the house. So now, my mom
has used that to keep track of me. So when I come
home, she's like, did you take your shoes off? Did you take your jacket off?
I'm like, I took it off, Mom.
And yesterday, she comes home. I'm watching TV. tv she cut the cable by the way so i'm stuck
watching the news jerry springer jerry springer channel five she comes in she's like what did i
tell you i'm like what i did what you asked me to do she's like did you shower like i said you're
supposed to when you get home oh i'm supposed to shower every time i get home now and what's
wild is we implemented all these rules for my 75-year-old grandma.
Yeah.
Yeah, rightfully so.
She's in the group whenever she comes over.
My grandma doesn't even follow the rules.
She comes over, doesn't take her shoes off, doesn't take her jacket off,
but she's coming off from the street.
I'm like, Grandma.
It's funny.
I talked about this on the Woody show.
I have the reverse situation where we're using all the cameras to police our parents.
Yeah.
You know, and kind of like what you're talking about.
So I look at the ring doorbell.
My dad's not supposed to be going anywhere because he's in, he's in bad shape. Right.
He's going out around town.
What are you doing?
And then spicy nachos.
Dad, he had lymphoma.
Yeah.
He's not supposed to be out and about.
And then we're looking at the camera.
He's like leaving the house all the time.
We're screaming at them.
What are you doing?
No, yeah.
What's funny because they tell us we're supposed to be at home.
But it's like we're staying home so that you guys don't have to worry about getting sick.
What are you doing?
I know.
Eric, what's up with you?
So my thing is piggybacking off of this, you know, policing your parents from sneaking out.
I was walking back from Ralph's yesterday with my fiance.
And I think the older people are getting the cabin fever,
cooped up sickness madness way quicker.
I know.
Because I legit ran into, didn't run into,
because, you know, social distancing,
there was a little Asian lady kind of walking out of her apartment
on the way back as I was walking to my apartment,
and she's like, you guys just walk home from Ralph's?
And she looked like she was just looking for somebody to talk to.
Oh, no.
And she's like, yeah, I snuck out
because my daughter's not letting me leave my apartment.
I got to sneak back in until she sees me.
She's like, oh, nice talking to you guys.
And it really looked like she just needed to see somebody.
Well, I think it's because they don't have
the technology entertainment options like we do.
Because, you know, my mom,
like I remember when my mom would get mad at me
and when she would want to shut off the TV in my room that she would turn up the volume.
Like, she's that bad with technology.
So they don't have as many options as we do.
You can only watch Golden Girl reruns for so many hours, you know.
I know.
So do you.
How has this affected you personally, though?
Well, I mean, personally, outside of not going to the gym, I mean, that's really, like, my day-to to day life hasn't been affected too crazy I mean we were coming to work
every day I just go home
and chill instead of going out and going to the gym
and before then I've always
you know I've always still kind of don't drink
the Kool-Aid I mean I get the virus is very
very serious but the
mass panic and the mass hysteria is always something
that I've just been poking fun at this whole time
I mean my day to day life hasn't been really
affected so Tyler yeah kind of I mean, my day-to-day life hasn't been really affected.
Tyler?
Yeah, kind of the same thing.
My day-to-day life hasn't been really affected.
The only major change is that... Grocery store shopping every day?
Oh, okay.
All right, look.
I would explain myself.
The only major change is now everybody's at home.
My brother was living on campus at his school.
They kicked everybody out.
Oh, yeah.
And he had to come home.
He's the one I feel bad for the most because he's a senior,
and they're most likely canceling the graduation ceremony.
That sucks.
So he's not going to be able to walk.
Is he finishing up school online?
Yeah, he's finishing up school online.
Him and VD are both seniors, and they're both not going to be able to walk.
Damn.
That's the thing that sucks.
That sucks.
I felt bad for my brother.
I was helping pack up his stuff on Friday,
and I see him
and he throws his cap and gown on top of his laundry oh and when he said he has a super depressed
look on his face and i felt horrible yeah so and and the other thing too he works on school so he
lost his job oh so like he there he just got double whammy but it's cool having him home
it's just the only thing now is that a couple of my other brothers they also work in school
districts and that's all been shut down so now it's more people at my house at the same time than the
normally is instead of just in spurts so i'm trying i might be jumping off my roof
maybe you need more grocery trips you need to get all 700 people in your house now i know
can you get the van back by any chance what To reiterate what he said, I feel bad for, like, there's some colleges that straight up,
they're like, oh, our ceremony's going to be virtual.
Or we're just going to mail it to you.
And it's like, you did four years staying up till overnight,
cramming in studies.
To have that moment.
Yeah, my brother did five years and VD did six.
So I feel bad for both of them.
It sucks.
You got to think even bigger here because my sister's kind of the same boat.
She's finishing up her master's, graduating in October or June or whatever.
So she's not canceled just yet.
Same with my fiance.
She's a doctorate graduating in June.
Not canceled just yet
because it's further away.
But my sister,
she's finishing up her classes online
and a lot of students are freaking out.
Like, well, why are we paying in-class tuition?
Because there's a different price range.
Oh, yeah, true.
Online classes, tuition classes.
So my sister, she's like, okay, the technology's there i could do it but why
am i going to be paying the same price i would have been paying that is a good question a lot of
a lot of students while willing to do it are trying to like well i need some money back for it
yeah he brings up a good point now because my brother since he got kicked out of the dorms
he only spent half the semester there so he wondering, are they going to refund me for the half the semester I didn't spend there?
Run me my money.
Yeah, he paid full right away.
That sucks.
I saw a tweet, too, that was pretty interesting.
It was like, after this is all said and done, this is just going to go to show that every class doesn't need to be in person.
I can take my class that was supposed to be hands-on on the internet, on the computer, like all this stuff.
So it should be interesting to see how everything gets affected.
You can say that.
Kids could sit there in front of a computer, but are they going to retain it as well as
if they're forced to be in a classroom?
I was telling Soundwave and Bort that the other day I had a class and I decided to make
an Aussie pie for my buddy at Fork and Aussie Pies.
It took a while for the pie to make, but then I just ate it and I would just tell the professor
and my classmates like, oh yeah, guys, my mic and camera doesn't work,
so my class is just running.
So I get marked for attendance, and I'm watching TV eating a pie.
I'm like, okay, I like this.
See, that's exactly what's going to happen.
And we wonder why it's not already all online, right?
I know, right?
That's the future.
So, Bor, what about you?
How has this affected you?
You know, dude, I'm such a shut-in because, you know,
I was a total degenerate in high school,
so every summer I'd just stay home, sleep, wake up, watch TV,
go walk to the store, come home.
That's no different.
If anything, I'm getting more rest from all of this because I have to stay home,
probably just like you or like Woody or anybody else.
The only downside is the amount of stress and just vocally out there
on social media that everybody is is so
overwhelming for everybody i feel like i'm now taking care of everybody else and making sure
they're all cool which i want to do anyways but now i feel that stress reverberating on me and
like i don't give a crap if i get sick gonna be honest i've had bad diseases already so to get
sick i'm like whatever if i get sick i sick. I just worry about everybody else now.
Like, what if I get somebody else sick?
Yeah.
You know?
So the stress level's going up.
That's the thing that blows, man.
I just want the stress to go away.
If I get sick, whatever.
I'll just shut myself in.
That is a really good point the other day, too, with a tweet,
which was you have to think for a lot of these people
who have preexisting conditions,
some of them don't even know they have these conditions.
I know there was a 20-year-old that died.
He had no idea that he had leukemia
and that he's just dead.
And it's funny because every time there's an announcement
that somebody died,
there's always a bunch of comments.
This is what irks me the most.
Well, what pre-existing conditions did they have?
It doesn't matter.
They're still dead.
Yeah.
You know?
That's still someone's grandma.
Yeah, but they're still dead. Well, what also sucks,'s still someone's grandma. Yeah. But they're still dead.
Well, what also sucks, man, is like you have people freaking out because of the amount
of cases, which some people are infected.
Yeah.
Then you have people freaking out about people dying.
This is a given fact based on my wife's, you know, her work, what she's done, you know,
her career.
Yeah.
Older people die in the summer and the winter from the flu and pneumonia.
It happens. That's what it is. It's a high death rate so i see that happening what really sucks though is if you
do have a pre-existing condition that you're managing like asthma like i have or like soundway
has or cameron it sucks because if you even cough in the hallway now oh everybody freaks out yeah
i'm like dude i have allergies and asthma oh my god you need to go home
dude you got the rona bro
dude just let me work man
I'll tell you this with me we've cancelled
four events so that sucks
financially
I cancelled the cruise
already I pushed it back till
December so I mean it's not totally
cancelled but that sucks
you know lost a vacation.
Yeah.
And then also going to the stress because for the industry that we do,
you hear about down the street from us, Power 106 in Los Angeles, furloughing a ton of staff there.
Yeah.
Then you hear about another radio station, KLOS. They furloughed some people on their
morning show over there. That sucks. You know, so that just piles to the stress. And, KLOS, they furloughed some people on their morning show over there. Yeah. That sucks.
You know, so that just piles to the stress and you know, we're ad supported medium, you know,
so we need people to be running ads to keep us alive. Yeah. It sucks when people stop running
ads right now for what we do. And then that just adds to the stress. You know, I'm getting married
in October. That's not canceled.
Thanks for everybody that's RSVP in this room.
I don't even remember.
Maybe Randy.
Thanks a lot, everybody.
Are you RSVP the second I got the letter?
I haven't yet, but I was going to. It said till June.
I was like, thanks.
But yeah, that does add to the stress.
You're like, okay, well, dude, if things get really, really bad, like how am I even going
to pay for this thing?
Or do I got to scrap it all together?
It sucks all around.
I had a buddy at Fox had to cancel his wedding.
It was supposed to be done beginning of April, I think.
So already one wedding down.
My fiance had a couple wedding conventions
canceled on her last week and next week.
Oh, no.
I mean, dude, you stockpile that on top of everything else,
all the stores that are closed.
I've had multiple concerts already cancel on me,
and I got to reschedule.
Star Wars Celebration is in freaking August, man.
I'm freaking out.
I paid a year ago for this.
Dude, I made some financial decisions earlier this year,
and I'm like, God damn it.
I didn't put the insurance down.
I told you not to buy the $2,000 video game. No, no, no, not the video games, God damn it. I didn't put the insurance down. I told you not to buy the $2,000 video game.
No, no, no, no.
Not the video games, goddamn it.
There's a trip that I had planned.
Oh, you didn't buy the travel insurance for it?
Yes.
Oh, no.
It was to Chicago.
You burned.
All right.
Well, let's just shout out some people that need some shout outs.
So shout out to all the healthcare workers, truck drivers, delivery people, store
clerks, factory workers, food bank workers, and companies that are giving people raises right now.
Shout out to them. Paying for sick time, paying for paid time off, all that stuff.
Shout out to landlords also that are not even charging rent to people. That is super cool.
If my landlord's listening feel free yeah here's a
question because i you know obviously i don't you know i don't have a landlord but so if your
landlord doesn't collect money is that if do they are they paying it all to somebody up top obviously
not the government but does somebody own the property that they're the landlord of or well
my landlord owns the property so okay but yeah there's property taxes and all this other well
no there's property managers too so there's a. Well, no, there's property managers, too.
So there's a middleman.
So my grandmother rents out a house.
She doesn't deal with it at all.
She just has a property manager that she pays that gets a little cut of it.
So if you guys don't pay rent this month, your landlord, it's coming out of their pocket then.
Is that how it works?
Yeah, but right now, because we live in the state of California, they have a thing where they can't kick you out.
Rip.
I know.
That's cool, but you're still going to have to pay that money eventually.
Damn it.
See, that was the X factor I was waiting on.
It doesn't just wash away.
Come on.
Just let it wash away.
That's crazy stuff to think about.
Because luckily, everybody in my apartment, my fiance and my two roommates, we haven't been affected by it.
We're all still working you know because one's in uh one's in hr one's that works for the city and my fiance's working free you know
doing health care stuff with you know the the courts and stuff so we're all going to work still
and we were having this conversation thinking like my mom and sister cut off for a week and a half
already you know like other people it's like okay well now it's this now this is a time where you're
like okay well my paycheck was two weeks ago yeah now i don't got another one coming in it's it's like, okay, well now it's, this is a time where you're like, okay, well my paycheck was two weeks ago and now I don't got another one coming in. It's, it's crazy to think about.
Yeah. And appreciate people that can go to work still.
Yeah. And let me just say this real quick though. Um, I was going to talk about this at the end of
the podcast, but I'm just going to throw it in now because it's a good time. A lot of companies
are still hiring right now in the thousands, in the hundreds of thousands, you know, and
it's at grocery stores
or delivery people and stuff like that. And I've talked about this before on the podcast. If you
want to not be stuck in a hole, don't think you're too good to take a job, you know, just do that
job. I've worked on morning shows that are number one morning shows. I got fired. I ended up working
at a pirate store, selling TVs at Fry's Electronics and doing AV at a
hotel until I got back into radio.
Just take those jobs.
I know guys that think they're just too good, radio guys, that will sit on the sidelines
for years.
Sit on the beach.
Yeah.
Put themselves in a financial hole like crazy because they're too good to work these type of jobs.
If your company puts you out, just take one of these jobs right away and eventually it will come back around.
We don't know when that's going to happen, which sucks, but just do it.
Don't waste any time.
Yeah, I apply to six places.
Aldi's hiring, Kroger, which owns a bunch of properties, is hiring.
Vons, Pavilions, Ralph's, Walmart, Amazon, Pepsi Cola, Dollar General.
You can think of it.
You're saying all those places don't want you?
No.
I probably told them.
He's throwing it out there so they will hire him.
I told Salway yesterday, though, my dude watched him not hire me.
Okay, I'm not going to lie to you.
I was in the process of applying for Domino's to be a delivery driver and or pizza maker.
And I closed up the application because they wanted me to take a 30 minute assessment.
I'm like, look, dog, I'm not taking a 30 minute assessment right now.
So I closed it up.
So maybe I might go back to later today.
Also, I want to say to all the people that are scamming people right now, may you burn in hell.
Like anything that has to do with medicines or just like upping prices
on products that people need.
Yeah.
You shall burn in hell.
It will happen.
I wonder if one of the things.
You're a piece of garbage.
You are a piece of garbage.
Here's another question.
We kind of touched on it earlier in the podcast with Tyler, but be completely honest because
I called you, Randy.
I was testing my home kit system.
Are you staying home? Is everybody staying home? Dog, I'm broke. I can you, Randy. I was testing my home kit system. Are you staying home?
Is everybody staying home? Dog, I'm
broke. I can't go anywhere. I don't know because
I called you and you said, oh, I'm
going for a walk with my girlfriend.
Bro, you're at Wingstop the other day. Don't lie.
Come on. You sent us a photo. You're at Wingstop.
Liar! Hold on now.
Liar! I waited in my car.
I also sent a very strongly worded letter to
Wingstop, which they basically told me to F off.
So, well, I got a large fry coupon.
So that's sweet.
I mean, like, but they tell us to do exercise, you know, like go for a walk, do this.
You do exercise in your house.
Here's the thing.
The problem is you keep on going to work with a bunch of people.
So you got to be safe.
Here's the thing, though, because you just kind of mentioned on the topic of having asthma.
I ran a mile, which is what you're referring to.
And I used to have a really bad asthma when I was a kid.
So I have something called EIB, which is exercise induced bronchial.
Why every single podcast he has a new disorder?
No, no, no.
But yeah, no.
Hear me out.
This almost full circle.
I told these guys a story.
Dude, if it happens where we have to stay at the house, I'm going to go through every
single podcast we've recorded and put and string together every single disorder you have.
Hashtag what's wrong with Randy.
I'm still standing though.
Still healthy.
Yeah.
Hashtag I will survive.
And I guarantee you that podcast alone of me just stringing it together would be 25
minutes.
What if you take the edited and roll it?
I've got this thing where my eyes turn green.
Anyways.
So what this does is it flares up, so it makes me have an asthmatic cough.
So I went to Petco with my girlfriend to return something for her dog.
Oh, now he's in a store.
Now he's at Petco.
Not only a store, a non-essential store.
And then he's going to a non-essential store.
Petco is essential.
How dare you?
That is essential for pets.
Hold on.
After a run where he's breathing in extra.
This kind of carries in.
I told Bort and Samuel the story.
So I walk in, and because of this, I have a dry cough, which I'm not contagious or infected.
I just have a dry asthmatic cough.
And so I coughed in the store, and everyone was like, whoa, hey, is he good?
I'm like, uh-oh.
Oh, no.
You guys say I'm the one that's going to get sick first.
I don't know, man.
Dude, I went to one store.
You went to 10. No, dude. Okay, Eric, are you staying home? Be honest. I'm the one that's going to get sent first. I don't know, man. Dude, I went to one store. You went to 10.
No, dude.
Okay, Eric, are you staying home?
Be honest.
I'm going to keep this alcohol wipe in front of my mic now.
I've gone for walks, and I've walked to Ralph's for groceries, but I've gone for a couple
walks each day, like a mile and a half.
See, what I think is stupid is they keep on telling people, like, yeah, go outside.
And I see all these people online who are going hiking that I've never even seen hiking for
and then the trails are packed.
They're like, what better time to hike than now when everything is closed?
Yeah, and it's just like
ass to elbow.
Especially, you see pictures of the beach and stuff.
I know, it's packed.
And then they interview, here's my thing too.
I tweeted and I said, if you're going to be
stupid enough to go to the beach
and break the laws,
why would you stop to get interviewed by the news?
Like, it makes no sense.
Like, oh, yeah, I came out here because, you know, the beach shut down, but I'm keeping six feet away from everyone.
I just want to be by the water, you know?
It's so dumb.
So stupid. Okay, let me ask you, Bort, what is the first thing you're going to do after this is all over?
I can go to a toy store.
I can go eat at a pizza place. Oh, dude,
I've been thinking about pizza nonstop.
I keep on seeing Blaze Pizza pop up
in my feed because I follow them. I'm like,
I want that pizza as well. I have a coupon right
here in my hands. You know what I'm going to do? I just thought
of it. All right, here it is. I'm going to go to my
favorite country bar and I'm going to sit there
and drink all night. All freaking night and never
leave. I know they have that
date of April 19th
as the finish date.
Yeah.
I can just imagine
420 the next day.
Oh my God.
That would be massive.
That's what I'm going to do.
That's my anniversary.
You're going to smoke?
No.
Oh.
No.
Sorry, I was confused.
No, my anniversary is 420.
Nice.
We're just going to go
completely wild that night.
Hell yeah.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
They're talking about if this carries off into the summer, think of all the happy Cinco
de Mayo Patrick's Day or something.
People are going to get so belligerently drunk.
Arriba.
It's going to be wild.
It's going to be done.
Tyler, any plans?
Anything you thought of that you would do?
I have three things off the top of my head that I want to do.
God damn it.
Always three things.
Go to my local dive bar, either go to the beach or number one on my
list, go to Disneyland.
Just get out of here and go back to Disneyland.
Heck yeah.
Well, hopefully we'll put together that takeover again, the Woody show after hours takeover
at Disney California Adventure Park.
Once we get the date on that, that'd be awesome.
Eric, any plans, thoughts?
Well, I hate to be that guy, but I really can't wait to go to the gym, guys.
I really can't.
Honestly, can't. But I to the gym, guys. I really can't. I honestly can't.
But I've been craving sushi real bad.
Oh, yeah.
I've been craving real sushi.
Kura sushi.
Let's go back.
And I have a receipt from the last time I was at Kura on my dresser.
So it literally taunts me, and I keep just showing it to my fiance,
and she's like, stop doing that to yourself.
I threw it away yesterday.
Yeah, they have locations across
the country. It's the rotating
sushi. That should be the first thing
we do. I know. That's
the number one thing I want to do when this is all said and done
because I have some certificates and it's like, of course,
when I get the certificates, the whole
city goes into lockdown. Wait, how many
plates did we make it to last time?
55, I think.
We reached, no, I think we reached 60. Okay, cool i think okay okay we reach we know i think we reach 60
okay cool so that means we have to do 70 next time hey let's do it i could barely walk last
time we went there we all got food coma afterwards we all passed out you can see it on our instagram
at what's new pod to see the spot we're talking about so i have a question yeah we're talking
about what are we going to do after it so So I was having this conversation at work over the weekend. So after this is done, what, right, so all quarantine and self-distancing all done.
How does this not happen again, though?
That's my, like, high thought of the weekend.
So say we're all free to go back in the world, no more six feet apart.
But what's going to keep it from just outbreaking again?
If we're all just, like, because I guarantee no one's all going to be clean.
I know.
Like, that's my high thought.
How does it not ramp back up?
Yeah, how does it not just shoot right back up once we're all back in the world?
And that's what they said too, that it would just ramp back up.
Because people are still going to have it.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
I don't know how does that work.
Once we're all free to go back, what's going to keep it from, okay, well, you're infected again.
You're infected again.
I know because they just announced in China that they opened up 4,000 different shopping locations or something like that.
And they don't have any new reports
because obviously it probably started with one person.
We're going to see new cases,
but I think, at least for California's sake,
we have to look at places like New York, Spain, Italy,
as for what's going to happen
when people finally go back out into society
because New York's cases are exponentially higher than us,
and then you have Italy,
which had
almost 800 people die overnight on one day and same with Spain. So what happens to them will
kind of like give us an idea as to what we should do and what we shouldn't do. Yeah. I'm going to
tell you the first thing I want to get the F out of here. And because I, I didn't get to travel,
you know, cancel my travel. I want to go somewhere. I want to check it out i do want to celebrate 420
i do want to drink with you guys and something i've been craving to do and i've talked about
on this podcast i want to go to miniature golf bro i'm down hell yeah i want to go down there's
three nearby let's just go let's just do it let's just break into the place right now you guys come
to my area golf and stuff where they film the Karate Kid. Yes. It's over there.
Golf and Stuff, yeah.
Let's do it.
All right.
So let's get past this a little bit.
And before the Corona freakout 2020, we had the Tyler t-shirt freakout of 2020.
If you rewind a couple podcasts back, we called out Tyler for wearing the same t-shirt constantly.
I want to go back to this drama because
we went to the mall
and we went shopping for Tyler
and we bought him, how many t-shirts did we get him?
Six. Six t-shirts.
How many of those t-shirts have we seen
since we bought him? I think I've seen two.
Two. Give or take.
Be honest, Tyler. What's going on?
I've worn three of them, so here's the thing. Allegedly.
Three of them fit really well. And they're perfect. And I I've worn three of them, so here's the thing. Allegedly. Three of them fit really well.
Okay.
And they're perfect.
And I've worn all three of them at least twice.
All right.
One of them was here and once at home.
The other three, while they are my size, they're more the athletic fit, as I figured out when
I got home.
An athletic 3X?
Yeah.
Athletic wrestlers?
I don't know.
As long as you're being honest, I totally get yeah so they're a little snug um they're not too bad where it's oh i can't wear this ever yeah it's just like
it's that european triple x you know like when you get the european xl you're like wait a minute
this is a medium how is this yeah an x you ever order a shirt from Asia like those shirts
are so I got a I got a button up tee from the Philippines I'm like XL my ass is a medium I know
I was in Shanghai and there was this dope Nike hoodie that I wanted yeah and I try on the XL
nope and then I go okay the biggest they had was double XL I put on the XXL and it was a large. There was no way those fit.
In stores like that, like H&M or Zara, dude, those aren't XLs, man.
That's like medium and large.
Yeah, they have a different size class for their clothes as opposed to everybody else.
So out of the six t-shirts, we got two good ones, right?
Three.
Three?
Okay. So I have three. And the other three we got two good ones, right? Three. Three. Three? Yeah. Okay.
So I have three.
And the other three, like I said, they will be worn.
I just have to drop some weight first.
Of course, got to wait for the gym to open.
So that brings me to another subject then.
So we had a thing about exercising and eating better.
And I saw you having like four suckers in one day.
That's what I gave him crap for, too.
Okay.
I told him. I will explain. It's not I gave him crap for too. Okay. I told him.
I will explain.
It's not a good case.
Explain how.
I will explain.
I'm going to give him like a quick synopsis of what happened because his explanation,
you're going to want to slap him when he tells you why he did it.
So I'm like, yo, dude, what happened to the diet?
You're eating like how many?
All this candy and everything?
So he comes to the office because he gives me audio and stuff and I'm like, yo, how many
have you had?
This is in front of Seabass.
I had two.
He texts me later. He's like, I actually had four, but I didn many have you had? This is in front of Seabass. I had two. He texts me later. He's like,
I actually had four, but I didn't want to say I had four in front of Seabass. So please
explain why it is you ate four suckers in one day.
To be perfectly honest, it's a very simple explanation.
It's going to be stupid to you guys, but it's something I've
had pretty much my whole life. Eric is going to
slap you. Eric is going to slap the hell out of me.
Okay, yeah. No, I always
like, when I get super stressed
and I was a little stressed that day, I always
have to have something in my mouth or I have to be chewing on something.
Yeah, fine.
Okay?
Oh, the pants!
Here we go.
You touch my pants all the time, man.
It's too late.
No, no, no.
I'm not chewing on your pants.
If I'm chewing...
Yo, I got something for your mouth.
If I'm...
If you're chewing on a writing utensil, it is my own.
I will make sure I put it in my own spot.
Lies! I know you put those pants in my... I, it is my own. I will make sure I put it in my own spot. Lies!
I know you put those pens in my...
It's in my little cupboard thing.
Oh, we got to tell Harbs, man.
He infected Harbs.
Harbs was even worse.
Harbs chews on every single pen in that studio.
Buy a pack of gum, a bag of mints.
Why?
Blowpops?
How old are you?
Hey, what's wrong with Blowpops?
Blowpops?
I know.
If you had the grape ones, they're really good.
Jesus. Hey, no man past like seven years old willingly just sucks on something in front of other people.
I can't chew gum either.
Let alone I want something in my mouth because I'm nervous.
I'm stressed, man. I need sugar.
Look, I can't chew gum either because I will literally throw about five things of gum in my mouth at the same time.
Oh my god!
Why? Why can't it just be one?
Because when I'm just stressed out, that's just how I handle it.
Why don't you learn how to handle it?
I'd rather do that than destroy another thing of gift wrap.
I'm sorry.
Why can't you eat baby carrots or something?
I don't know.
No, because then he would eat a horse the entire day.
What about the whole thing of not eating red meat?
How's that going?
Be honest.
Despite one after the XFL game.
Yeah, where he had four hot dogs.
Okay.
It was one hot dog.
Two.
It was one.
Wrapped in bacon.
Okay.
You don't screw you guys.
All right.
Okay.
Besides one minor slip up where I wasn't thinking, I've actually been really good about it.
I'm actually really proud of myself.
Chicken?
I'll give him credit for that.
Nothing but chicken.
Okay.
Absolutely chicken.
Randy?
I'm avoiding bread as much as I can.
There have been a few lapses, such as the Aussie Pie.
Most of my lapses, though, are because my dumb ass doesn't realize there's bread until I eat it.
I'm like, oh, that's...
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what bread looks like.
That's exactly right.
This is as he holds up a coupon for Blaze Pizza.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There's bread and crust.
And the census here.
Oh, yeah.
Except he was going to...
What was that place you left and went to the other day?
Oh, what was that? Oh, yeah. Wing Stop. Oh, yeah. Breaded chicken. Oh, what was that place you left and went to the other day? Oh, what was that?
Oh, yeah.
Wingstop.
Oh, yeah.
Breaded chicken.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
I had the legs, the drumsticks.
Thank you.
How many french fries did you have?
Not a lot because my girlfriend got lemon pepper seasoning on them.
Oh, no.
That's bad.
I'm not going to be associated with this.
I'll tell you this about the whole coronavirus thing.
Cooking at home has been awesome. I've been losing weight just off that that's how i did it i know right dude not
eating junk i'm just eating better yeah i mean maybe not healthy better like in air quotes better
but yeah the food i'm eating is just way better i know because i've actually in the beginning of
the whole coronavirus thing i was doing some of the drive-thrus and the pickups but i hate to
break it to you i know board has been hitting some of the drive-thrus and the pickups, but I hate to break it to you. I know Bort has been hitting some of the drive-thrus,
but people need to look up online the list of places that do not pay for sick time
because these workers, they need the money.
They're still going to go into work if they're sick or not.
And there's a whole laundry list of spots to say, hey, come pick up the order
or come to our drive-thru.
We're still open that are not paying their workers, and that's messed up.
See, you'd actually be proud of me because on the way home yesterday,
I told you, hey, man, should I go to this drive-thru real fast?
I thought about it on the way home.
I went, you know what?
No, I'm just going to go home.
And then even on the way here, I thought, man,
I could stop at this convenient mart.
Maybe I could stop at this place.
You know what?
I'll just go to work.
I'm good.
We got food downstairs.
I'll do that. And then you avoid going to another place where it can potentially get sick there you go and then i don't end up like tyler going to eight places in one day there's a
grocery store it's different there's a really cool app i saw on twitter that i've yet to try out but
if it does what the description on twitter says it does it's pretty cool it's called super cook
and what super cook is is you basically put in the ingredients you have in your fridge and it
shows you recipes you can make with those ingredients oh that's dope yeah and i was like
and i was like yeah i was like you just put in like okay you have such amount of eggs you have
carrots and blah blah blah whatever and it'll give you all the recipes you can make with those
ingredients so i'm gonna try it out probably later this week and i'll let you guys know if it's any
good but just download if you want to try it out super cook let me ask you another question because
this happened to me since we're staying home a lot.
Have you learned anything new, like different things?
I didn't know that you have to change a water filter in your refrigerator every six months. And then I've been learning everything about VPN, everything under the sun.
So if you don't know, VPN is like how you can pull up your work computer from your house.
And I've been doing that like crazy and loving it.
It's awesome.
Tyler, have you learned anything?
Not really.
Not really.
Shocking.
I'm telling you guys, this is a time to learn a new skill.
Like you, the VPN and the VNC stuff.
I've been doing that kind of checking that stuff out.
It's pretty impressive.
I can do it from anywhere.
Have you tested it at all?
Yeah, I've tested it.
He's lying. He is. I know he is. I can do it from anywhere. Have you tested it at all? Yeah, I've tested it. He's lying.
He is.
I know he is.
I'm not lying.
I was on the phone with him last night because I was testing the, because I can take calls
at my house and record it and put it in our system, whatever.
I was doing that last night as well.
Yeah.
I was testing all that and I was asking Randy, I'm like, oh, is your home system set up?
Yeah.
I go, dude, you're effing lying to me right now.
I'm not lying.
Look at that smile.
Because he doesn't elaborate on anything.
He's such a bad liar.
I had a conversation with him the other day about how the IP address that I was given
I didn't think was the right one.
And he said, that's right.
And I wouldn't have known that had I not got into the VPN and the VNC.
You know what?
He's telling the truth on that one.
He may have been asking about it, but he's actually doing it.
No, no.
I think he jumped into a computer, backed out, and hasn't touched it since.
I think he's freaked out.
Maybe I got into the computer, got scared of what I saw and exited out of it, but I
still got into the computer.
Oh, that explains all my computer problems lately.
So if anybody's listening, take this time to learn a new skill.
It's awesome.
Yeah, and also, if you are out of work right now or maybe you have extra downtime on your
hands, it's really important, especially with so much stress going on.
You may need to relax or maybe reset.
This is also a good time to reset your mind and clear it.
And then you could also learn new skills or learn like new artistry or something or just draw.
You know, get ahead on something because, man, I've been sleeping more.
I've been feeling more and I feel the creative juices flowing a little bit.
I know because you just get in that mindset of just work, sleep, eat.
Work, sleep, eat.
Yeah.
I might not have learned something technically,
but I've definitely utilized my time.
I think it's definitely a good reset time.
Dude, my room got a deep clean last week.
Like every day it was a little more, a little more clean, a little more clean.
It smells like I live in Lemon Pledge out there now,
like Rabiloso is ingrained in my
skin yeah but yeah yeah no so i haven't there's been a couple times where i found myself just
kind of sitting you know and then i kind of realized okay well you're gonna be bored you're
gonna be bored you go find something to do whether it be you know something you research read something
i have a bunch of books which i think i'm just i know we talked about early on in the year i think
i might actually start reading now oh maybe we what? Maybe, we'll see, yeah.
That's, right?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Dude, actually, you know who did learn a new skill,
a new VPN skill?
Nick Soundwave did.
No way.
He learned it on Friday because I called him
and had him test it on the phone with me.
Sweet.
And he did it super fast.
I was working from home.
While he was playing.
What?
2020.
While he was playing Xbox.
Yeah, I was playing Xbox.
The guy I was playing with probably
pissed because i kind of just forgot about the game and we lost so oh no all right guys well i
think i'm gonna wrap this up thank you so much everyone that's listening to this podcast please

So many of my friends, man.
Just go listen to some music.
You got downtime.
Support them.
What do you think about this new wave of of the ig youtube streams of all these
not i've seen a lot of djs doing it a couple more like actual athletes artists with you know like
instrument stuff coming out of all this quarantine stuff how do you think the streaming music
and like virtual audience reality is going to be affected because i feel like this is gonna
i think it's finally like gas on like the catalyst or be a catalyst for so much i uh virtual stuff i have been preaching
this to artists and they finally have the mindset of doing that like hey you know what i'm sitting
at the house on a sunday i can make a couple extra bucks right now and just have people stream
what i'm doing over the weekend last weekend was supposed to be nocturnal big rave through
insomnia huge one big like one of the big mainstays on the West Coast.
So obviously it was shut down.
Instead of just shutting it down,
they had two nights of virtual reality beyond,
or beyond virtual, something like that,
where they had DJs, DJ for 45 minutes,
from 8 to 12.30 locally.
I'm just saying these artists,
I know it's awesome that they're doing it live for free
on some of their platforms,
but they should do bigger ones that
people have a paywall for. Not
a crazy amount of money, because
you don't get that full experience, but
I saw Meg
Meyer, she did a paywall one, and that
dude, that's dope. And now a bunch of
live streams are popping up. Dylan Francis
and Diplo did one over the weekend. I see some
with 8-Track next weekend. I think that's
cool. Because we're blessed that we live in a major city and Francis and Diplo did one over the weekend. I see some with 8-Track next weekend. So it's only a matter of time, right?
Because we're blessed that we live
in a major city like Los Angeles.
But there's people in
middle America that their
favorite artists will never come to their
area. That's true. You have to drive like an
hour or so to get there. Maybe.
And every live performance they've
ever seen is on YouTube
and in clip form, or maybe it's
rare they get a whole experience, but they'll pay that five bucks, 10 bucks to watch it
happen live in their room or on their TV.
That'd be dope for them.
It might've been Lil Uzi Vert or maybe Travis Scott who did like a little in-home concert
and he brought a fan up on stage by making him join the Instagram live chat.
And it was pretty funny.
That's dope.
That's so cool.
I think of this, which is a good point, will pave the way.
It will finally open up the doors in regards to what VR can really be capable of doing.
That's been happening for a while with basketball.
And I've always meant to get into it.
But I never pulled the trigger on buying some Oculus gear.
Because I just don't feel that it's at that point where it looks
super real where it's, you know, ready player one style where you're actually feel like you're
immersed in actual world, you know? So maybe I'll just pull the trigger and I'll learn more about
it. Getting back to the podcast shout outs though. Of course, listen to the Woody show podcast,
the mothership that puts everything together.
All you got to do is search The Woody Show on the iHeartRadio app.
Listen Monday through Friday.
It's available for you.

That's how we roll.

Also, we need the XFL to come back.
Shout out to the Wildcats.
They were so good to us.
It's so disappointing that we didn't get to go to that extra game.
And Nick Soundwave brought it up on the last podcast on how cool they were to pay everybody out that's awesome people talking trash about the skill the
level of skill i saw two xfo players get picked up by nfo teams this week actually one of the
qbs that we were going to watch the wildcats play against houston but pj walker so r.i.p that's
super cool though yeah that's major right all right tyler uh thank you to everybody who sent
