Episode Date: March 19, 2021

On this episode we talk Paying off debt, Giveaways, Weekend Trips, Possible Lies and More!

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 Bortz, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Showboring Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. He has a Robin to his Batman and that would be Eric, a.k.a. Nick Soundwave. I wear the same tights. Yeah, the short tights. Also joining us would be Eric, a.k.a. Nick Soundwave. I wear the same tights. Yeah, the short tights.

Also joining us would be Randy, who's a radio DJ on Alt 987 in Los Angeles, and he works on The Woody Show. Plus, joining us live from Houston, Texas, that would be Tyler, who works on The Sean Salisbury Show on an AM sports radio station in Houston, Texas. All right, Who's excited?

We've talked about this probably the past two podcasts, but it is official. You might have some money in your account right now. New stimulus check, $1,400. Did you get it, yes or no? Yeah. I did get it. I got it.

How much does that rule? A lot, because that's exactly how much money I need to get out critically. Right, yeah. Sweet. Randy's dumped it all into Bitcoin. I'm happy you said that, Brett, because Warren Buffett says, this is what you should do with your money.

If you get the $1,400 and you have credit card debt, you should immediately put that $1,400 on your credit card. Yeah. I plan on doing it. My credit card payment is due this week, so I will be putting, maybe not a whole $1,400, but a sizable chunk of the $1,400. Eric also has a couple other expenses that are needed right now for that.

I did spend like $100 on Amazon stuff around the new apartment, so it's not all going towards it, but it's going to a beneficial place. My favorite thing about that statement, though, is that half of everybody else is saying, don't do that. Get it back into the economy.

Bitch, I've been putting into the economy all my debt this whole time. That's the problem. I'm paying interest right now. We were ahead of the curve. We need to go. I follow a lot of people on Instagram who are like,

every time I get the stimulus checks, I put it into Bitcoin and all this stuff. I'm like, well, you already had money to begin with to put it in there. People got to pay their bills. Well, we'll see. Maybe they didn't have credit card debt. So this is what he says.

If you don't have credit card debt, you should not put the money into your rent or into a mortgage. You should invest that money. So Bitcoin is an investment. So maybe. I don't think he would agree in Bitcoin, but he does put in things into the stock market.

I highly recommend if you don't know what you're doing and you just want to put it into a general fund. I do like acorns. So part of my money is going to go towards some credit card debt. The other part, which is about a thousand fifty bucks, that is going towards my taxes because I owe over a grand in taxes because I was on unemployment most of last year. And before anybody says anything, yes, you have the option to have your taxes taken out of your unemployment. Unfortunately, I needed every penny because I was legitimately out of work. So I needed every penny. Look, it worked out. Look, do you think you were going to get that money? That's right. I remember having a conversation. Look, do you think you were going to get that money?

I remember having a conversation. I think we talked about it on here. I remember having a conversation with them and he was like, oh, I'm a, you chose the option where he was getting everything up front and then he would, oh, later down the line. Oh my God. No, no. Okay. Listen, you guys got to remember. Yes, I was living at home. However, one reason why I was still living at home, because how did I get my nickname Dumbass Tyler? I have that truck loan that I'm still paying off. You're still paying it? How do you mess up getting free money, man? I needed 10 grand. All right, so you have two payments, right?

Is your car paid for? Yeah, my current car is fully paid off. How much do you owe on that truck still that you don't have? Well, it's a good chunk. Keep it $100. How much? How much do you owe? So when I originally took out the loan for the truck,

I had to take an extra $5,000 out because I was not able. At my previous radio job before the Woody show, I was working technically as an independent contractor and they didn't take no and i need it god listen no listen before you give us the answer that was something i was gonna bring up before the truck came up this happens a lot to independent contractors they don't save the money to pay the taxes and then they get burned but okay yeah which i got burned but I needed every single penny, not just because of the truck,

but because ever since I turned 18, my parents, and I have no problem with this because I'm probably going to end up doing the same to my own kids when I have them. They told me as soon as you hit 18, everything is on your own. Your bills are on your own. Yeah, they have five kids.

Yeah, well, I told them what I said. We can't afford it, which is why I needed every penny. We got that. Okay. So the loan I took out was for $15,000. And I'm paying that off. I'm about halfway done paying it off.

Have you tried to refinance, consolidate it with something, man? Or are you just chipping away at a massive boulder? We're just chipping away at a massive boulder. What's the math? How much do you owe? How much do I owe is about $7,500. Are you paying interest on the $15,000 loan currently? I am paying some interest.

Off the top of my head, I don't remember what it is. My dad helped me get it. He has all the paperwork. All right. Your dad, the one who was like, yo, all these bills are on you, wasn't like, yo, are you sure you should take out this loan on this truck? No, I'm sure he did it. You did it without asking, right?

Oh, yeah. I totally did it without asking. Oh, my gosh. I will never forget this. When I got it back to my house, I have never seen my dad so mad at me. My dad was livid. Yeah, well, I needed the money. Other things in the news.

Disneyland will be open in California April 30th. Hell yeah. Will we be able to get tickets to get in? Oh my gosh. My mom seems to think so. She was all dung ho. She's like, I'm gonna get them and we're gonna go and because there's gonna be no people and you can go on all the rides.

Oh, for a second, I thought you said your mom was hoping that you could get her she knows how much pull i got around this place yeah 15 capacity yeah um i try to get tickets for the taste of disney food festival immediately sold my mom's a disney nut she's disney addict so she thinks that i kind of talked to her but i mean hell if i get a hold of her so do you like for these reservations do you have to put down your name or is it just sort of like, is, does each ticket have your name and you show your ID when you get to the gate or what? How does it work? Who knows?

I'm pretty sure. Yeah. It's, it's tight. Cause like what I was thinking, you have to be a California resident by the way. Right. Cause I'm thinking right now. So they can check box done. No. Cause I'm thinking right now, especially in the age of scalpers, dude, like I bet, I bet if it's possible people are flipping those tickets for yeah they're not going to i know you're already

trying to think of a scam he's like okay where's the reddit group for this one i'll find a way we might have better luck just uh flying to florida and going to disney world instead guys i know all right here's a news thing that i wanted to ask you about amazon care amazon is going to have its own health care they're doing it for their, but now it's going to branch out to other businesses where you could have Amazon as your healthcare provider. Are you all in, all out? I'm all in. I'm all in as well. I feel like with health insurance, especially when you're in your younger twenties, none of it makes any sense. And then you're paying a good chunk of your money out of it. I feel like Amazon could make it easier for us to understand. Says the guy who's had healthcare for six months. Apparently he's not an expert on it.

Well, I couldn't even use it. I'm all in because I think they would be way more efficient. Also, not nickel and dime every single thing because all these healthcare providers, nickel and dime everything. So I'm willing to give it a try if one day it becomes available to me. Yeah. I mean, anything's better than currently going to your dental office or your doctor. Like, do you really want to use your insurance? Or you could pay us under the table right now, allegedly, and it'll be cheaper. Also, like when it resorts to that with your health insurance, it's something's really wrong.

Recently, what happened was like I would go to the doctors and then I'd get a bill in the mail. They'd be like, hey, so it turns out we're not going to cover this. That'll be 90 bucks. That's why I want to try out Amazon. Randy, you took a trip to North Carolina last weekend. Yep. How was that?

Boring, but it was fun to see my friend. What did you end up doing? Eating fried chicken and going to restaurants. That's pretty much it. All right. Sounds like a good time. Hold on, hold on. Boring, though.

Yeah, it was boring. But I went to this place called Bojangles, which I guess is only found on the east coast a bit in the south it's huge and dude bojangles changed my life there's a conspiracy theory yeah on this trip that you changed dates that you initially gave an original date that you're gonna go on this trip and then you changed it the conspiracy theory is that you were going to go on this trip, and then you changed it. The conspiracy theory is that you changed it because you had recorded the Nerd Now podcast. Is that true or not true? If I had to go out on a limb and bet some money, I would assume this conspiracy came from Menace and Brett.

I had no idea about this trip until you left. No, but the conspiracy that I left. So why would it have come from me? This is a conspiracy made probably by Brett. Why am I the sole culprit? We actually changed the date because the price in the flights was so significant. Randy would even go

up to anybody and say, hey, I can't make it on a Friday. Well, at least to nerd out you wouldn't. To us, you cancel all the time, apparently. But I was like, isn't it the one week that WandaVision or no MCU show is out right now? Again, why am I the sole culprit though? First you try to blame Menace, now it's just me. Ooh, controversy.

There's Tyler. Okay, fine. I'll just divert it towards Brett because literally no one else would be like, you know what's funny? Randy's not here. You nerd. Now it's not recording today. You would think so, would you? You'd really think that. Unless it was Eric, and in that case, shame on you, Eric.

Gas on the fire, man. Although Eric is correct on the fact that Randy would cancel on all of us because there was one time where he... You've canceled like three times on us. Okay, hold on, hold on. Let's not point the finger at me. Okay, I'm not on here. So there was one time where Randy left in the middle of a tailgate episode.

Albeit he had to go pick up his girlfriend from the airport, but still, it's me and Eric. We're like, okay, I guess we're just finishing this by ourselves. It's cool. So one time out of the four times, the four or five times you've dicked us over. I've at least had good stories when I've come back. Oh, wow.

He's going out for material. I mean, Randy, look. You're also. Wait a second. Randy, you. Randy. Wait a second. At least his recap isn't super boring. Yeah. Randy, you're ready. At least his recap isn't super boring.

Randy, you left out the part that you went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, dude. I went to the gift shop, bro. I bought a shirt. He doesn't come back from vacation. He's like, I was bored. He comes back and he's like, yeah, man, I ran into a cowboy at the DMV. Or I have a bad DMV photo, at least. Well, Texas seems a lot more interesting than North Carolina.

So, I mean, I'm sure I'd have more fun in Texas than in North Carolina. Hey, Tyler, why'd you ditch us this week? Oh, I just drove across country, and I didn't bring you guys anything back. I had to fly back in 24 hours. You know how I'm in a sports podcast, and I didn't take a picture of any of the stadiums I went in front of? Oh, yeah. So Tyler does have a point.

Well, how so? If you think that he does have better recaps. I guess he has better recaps, but I took better content. I took pictures of the Bank of America Stadium, which is better. Tailgater did get more content. I said, did I not provide a good check-in picture of when I was in Charlotte of the breakfast food that I had? Thank you. I ran up the Rocky steps and got you a video, but it was a disaster.

In your pale-ass popsicle stick legs with those DC shoes with no socks? Come on, bro. What do you think was going to happen? They were low cut socks. You couldn't see them, right? I don't text you guys at all when I'm out of town. I know. What the hell?

Why don't you like us? I go zero dark. Yeah. What about his recap? Do you miss that much? What about his recap to Texas? We saw a family member's house. Yeah.

Texas is nice. I got drunk. Are you a great gory? Because great gory is the worst when we're on vacation. We'll be on House. I got drunk. Are you Greg Gorey? Because Greg Gorey is the worst when we're on vacation. We'll be on a group text or something and we're just trying to keep up with each other. Greg does not want to hear

or talk to anybody when we're on vacation. I'm really not doing much and it's like, if there's something I can chime in about, I will chime in. A lot of times I just feel like, whatever. You're not going to gain anything from me. I was more offended by the fact that he came to Houston and didn't bother to say hi to me.

That is, yeah. Dude, that was pretty suspect, dude. Dude, the one day we had the car, it was just me and Leanne, and I'm like, I'm not going to go have lunch with Tyler. I'm off the podcast. I gotta go. I did the math, bro. You keep your ass on that bike. I'm crying! I did the math, though. I'm off the podcast. I gotta go. You keep your ass on that bike. I'm crying.

I did the math though on the maps thing and he was like 30 minutes across Houston. 30 minutes to go out of his way for lunch. With Tyler. I would have drove to him, man. I have feelings. I had the car for one day and I was like, we drove into the city

and it was me and Leanne driving around and I'm like, you know, sorry, Tyler. I'm so sorry right now. You know what sucks? I think I deleted the screenshot.

I had a screenshot of the maps and at one point when we had lunch, Tyler was literally probably like 20 minutes away. That's cold. I'm being fucked up. I'm telling the truth, man man it was me and Leanne

we had one day alone in the city sorry Tyler doesn't even know what's the worst part is that you actually looked at the bathroom and was

I need to go one of the funnier parts about that trip so it was Christmas it was Christmas break we're sitting there we're having grubbing hard

big feast blah blah blah Tyler wouldn't be interested Tyler hit me up. He was like, hey, man, I got pizza. See that? There you go. I'm like, Tyler, I'm going to pass.

Sussy, man. That's the thing, too. Tyler doesn't even go to the cool restaurants. Eric and I find for him. I'm like, yo, dude, this restaurant, there's like eight restaurants around here. I'm sorry, Tyler. And Tyler? I haven't had a chance.

I've been overloading with work at this point. I just haven't had a chance. All right. Tech news. I switched to YouTube TV a chance. All right. Tech news. I switched to YouTube TV, everybody. Yes! Hey! It's about time.

Thank you. I had the AT&T Direct TV. They did an update, and it was super buggy, and I wasn't willing to wait for them to fix the update, so I switched to YouTube TV. Pretty happy with it. The only thing I'm concerned with, I did like the AT&T DirectTV app that had the East Coast feed.

Now, do I have to wait up till 1130 for SNL? I'm a little concerned because I cannot stay up that late. I'm so old and tired. Do they have a DVR option on there for you? Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, at least there's that. But I like seeing it live. Okay.

YouTube TV also offers unlimited DVR space, which is really awesome because you can just set whatever you want and just keep recording. That's dope because Hulu Live does not offer you that. They have a finite amount of space and it starts deleting your crap after a while. I use the Fire Stick for YouTube TV and I only have one complaint, which is the only way to go back out of the interface, like onto the, like, you know, like what's available to you is you have to press the backspace and then choose the live option because if

you press back on the back arrow, it sends you back to the home screen. That sounds more like a Fire Stick problem. Yeah, gotta go Apple TV all day, every day. They also announced YouTube TV, they have announced that they have added all the Viacom channels and Nick Jr. So apparently that was a big deal

that they didn't have Viacom. Sorry, smacked the mic. My bad. It's all good. Seabass here for BlueChew.com. Go to BlueChew.com. Make sure you use that promo code Woody to get your first month free. Just $5 for shipping. And after entering all your information, you will get a real doctor's prescription from a real pharmacy straight to your door. Delivered contactless, as they say, with the actual same medications like you would get with a Viagra or Cialis, but at much cheaper price. And again, right to your door, no hassle, no going anywhere.

That's B-L-U-E-C-H-E-W.com. Again, make sure you use that promo code Woody, because that first month is totally free, just that five bucks for shipping. Also, while we're talking about streaming apps, we got to shout out our friends, Pluto TV, a lot of listeners that work at Pluto TV TV love the shout outs that we give them. So shout out to them once again. Now, if I was, you know, my early days of radio and I had like no money, I think Pluto TV would be a lifesaver. Oh, yeah. Because if I couldn't afford Hulu or all these other streaming services, I would have

Pluto TV and be perfectly happy. I find myself watching Pluto TV more than anything and I don't even have to pay for it. What channel do you watch? Unsolved Mysteries and Tosh.0. That's pretty awesome. Coming from a guy who has been in his entertainment career for a while, I still don't have money and Pluto TV is a lifesaver. I have Cancel Who Live. I have Pluto, Tubi, and a couple other ones. But Pluto TV is so awesome because I watch the Comedy Central cartoon channel, the adult cartoon channel. Because not only do you get Crank Yankers and all those shows that were on Comedy Central, but you also get Daria, Beavis and Butthead, all the other Viacom shows from MTV.

And there's tons of other ones. There's a paranormal channel yeah that has like UFO sightings it has not just unsolved mysteries but has beyond belief fact fiction tons of fun stuff and they have endless movies and they do have some on demand we're talking about a lot of live channels but they do have on demand

a ton of movies and speaking of movies shout out Godzilla vs Kong yes I currently have a giveaway on my instagram right now at menace on instagram you can win a drive-in movie experience in los angeles plus a hundred dollar uber eats gift card just go to my instagram at menace m-e-n-a-c-e for more details how excited randy are you for godzilla versus kong i am so mother effing excited

there is one thing though that i'm kind of bummed me out and uh funko not too long ago a couple days ago posted like the funko pops for the movie and they basically ruined the movie rewind before you start doing that how excited are you for the movie i'm super excited i can't wait. All right, cool. I just came to dick again. We talked a couple of podcasts ago about NTF. NTF is basically content that is in like a Bitcoin type of form. Yeah. It's a big whole thing. You should Google it and read more about it. I still don't understand.

The Ocean Spray guy is selling his original video via ntf oh god for oh don't tell me five hundred thousand dollars really that's it five hundred thousand dollars but see how ntf works once he sells it for five hundred thousand dollars he still gets royalties off it so he still will be getting paid again going back to the thing that i was talking about a couple podcasts ago where i think ntf is going where you own this content is virtual reality like so when you have you put your virtual reality goggles on and let's say for example you have a fake mansion somewhere you can hang up these pieces of art or you have your fake movie theater inside your fake mansion that you play these little videos dog face skateboarding and drinking ocean spray yeah do you guys think they'll ever do like museums like people like they already are yeah yeah what yeah did you see that patrick mahomes also got

into the ntf game like trading cards oh really yeah so i think gronk did some too actually yeah gronk did it they're cashing in bro i mean all it takes is your internet spectrum to go down five years when these things are like dumb, dumb, like popular. And we're like, remember when we were talking about that back then? We didn't do anything about it. I know. We didn't do any like NTFs. But if you look at the people who are getting into NTF, though, they already have money, though.

Like the people really making bank off these things. Not the artists. Well, I mean, it seems like every time they pop up in the news that someone bought something for like $500,000 or $100,000. Why do I have a feeling that Tyler will be the first one to buy NTF trading cards? These things are so beyond stupid. I don't get what's wrong with having the physical copy. I could see any of these videos. If there's highlights specifically, I could see these on SportsCenter or YouTube.

If it's anything else that's super personal, if it's not personal to me, I don't care. These are so stupid. Tyler, when you have your virtual world one day and you get to put on the glasses and then edit your whole body where you have muscles and you're badass and you're walking around on a fake beach, don't you want to pull up your Patrick Mahomes trading card and show it to some virtual chick

that you're going to have a virtual winter course with? Here's my Patrick Mahomes trading card and show it to some virtual chick that you're going to have a virtual winter course with. Here's my Patrick Mahomes trading card. Okay, that sounds weird. Here's my Patrick Mahomes trading card where he said, hey, Tyler, personally to me, I do not care. That might get you laid in the virtual world. Dude, Tyler's going to have a bare ass blank.

Oh, cool, I could get laid in the physical world too. He's going to have a bare virtual apartment. Look at all my virtual bread that I bought. Yeah. All right. I hate you for that. It looks like music festivals are coming back. Yeah.

So we talked about this a little bit, but Coachella doesn't look like it's going to make it, guys. It looks like it's going to be pushed back until 2022. Are you sad? Yes or no? Who's gone to Coachella here? None of us. None of us. None of us. Just you. I've pushed back until 2022 are you sad yes or no who's gone to coachella here none of us none of us none of us just you i've been many times are you sad uh i'm not sad because coachella has way too much walking yeah i feel like my coachella window has closed you know i was like the festival guy for a little bit yeah that's a good chunk of college what's that uh

what's that one they did for like the uh old people the same same venue old chela yeah yeah you can go to old cho now oh old cello yeah they did that probably about two years ago for the first time see i if i did do a coachella i would not be the camping guy anymore because oh i was i definitely would have been the camper probably in college yeah you know but no no i need a hot shower i'm hotel guy now i need a bed you know my first festival was my first year here at the station. I paid to go to Cal Jam. Had never been to a festival before. Glen Helen Amphitheater, that's hard to say.

I didn't realize it was a hike to get to the venue. Took me 15 minutes to walk there. 15 minutes? That's a breeze compared to Coachella. Coachella will take you forever to walk into the venue. My favorite one is Lollapalooza because you can be in your hotel room and walk across the street and just be in the festival. The problem with Coachella, too, is during the day.

I went to EDC for five, six years in a row. It's at night. It's hot. A thousand degrees. Yeah, but it's nice. The sun's not beating down on you all day. Plus, I had to leave because the headliner was Foo Fighters. I left in the middle of the Foo Fighters to beat traffic, and I still was stuck in the

lot for like an hour. That's a rookie mistake. Just deal with the traffic. Life is Beautiful also is going to happen, and then J Balvin, Balvin's going to have a music festival at Resorts World in October, the same weekend as Life is Beautiful.

I think that's in September. My bad. October, they say EDC is going to be here. I've always thought about going to Coachella, but every time I look at someone post that they're at Coachella, I'm like, they did not even like, it just, it never looks tantalizing. I'm like, that sucks. Like a hundred degrees. I'd probably have a blast, but it's just, my thing is like, I don't want to go out there and get dirty anymore. Well, you'll have a blast if you're in the VIP. If you're in GA, it's the absolute worst. I'd spent

maybe four hours in GA once because when they started doing the two weekend thing. Oh yeah. So I went to the first weekend VIP, the second weekend thing oh yeah so I went to the first weekend VIP the second weekend I had GA I walked around for four hours I said forget this and I wouldn't have hung out at Morongo Casino for the rest of the week once you have the VIP passes at any festival it changes because my buddy he used to work for Insomniac so we kind of have a little hook up here and there and yeah it's you go out and you get the you get the nice little secluded areas to the side they They're usually shaded. There's no lines for the water.

Easy access to alcohol. The first time I walked into a bathroom that was in like an RV camper and not a porta potty, it's air conditioned. There's nice clean stalls. And I'm like, dude, how do I live in here? Yeah, man. There's like poop on the floor in these porta potties. There's soap dispensers and clean toilet paper in this one.

I think working in radio kind of ruined festivals for me only because what you said. Here we go. Cal Jam. That one festival. I've been hearing about this festival for years. I know, dude. You need to go to another one.

Someone help me out. They're expensive. All right. Oh, I want to try something. I want to do a thing called, What Did Tyler Eat This Week? Oh, I want to try something. I want to do a thing called, what did Tyler eat this week? So Tyler, if you can gather your thoughts as I set it up, I want to know just some highlights of what you've eaten each day until this point. So today's Thursday. We record our podcast on Thursdays. I want you to start with Sunday and then leading

up today, What are your food highlights? What did Tyler eat this week? Look, I'm not going to lie. It's nothing special, but there's some choices where you guys will be like, oh, okay, that happened. These were all for dinner by the way, so I just decided to keep it

for that. So Sunday kept it very simple. Just fish fillets that were frozen a little bit of tartar sauce on the side I thought it was very good Monday I'm a very big breakfast for dinner guy so Monday I just had cereal and toast

just kept it classy cereal and toast you prefaced that like you're going to make some french toast I'm a big breakfast dinner guy I thought it was gonna be like pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy. Was it white bread? Oh, yes, it was white bread. Yeah, of course. Sugar overload, man.

What is the cereal that you had? Cereal? We had some Cocoa Puffs up in here. So, you know. We? What do you mean we? I'm being dramatic. Leave me alone. Okay. I thought you crossed spoons with somebody. Ha ha ha. No, nobody touches my cereal. This is not a joke. Okay, I thought you crossed spoons with somebody. No, nobody touches my cereal. This is not a joke.

I like the medicine. Try to put it in your window there. Tyler's so fixated on food. He's like, no, no, it's my food. No women in here. No sex. I'm very protective with my cereal. This is not allowed. Okay, move along. Come on, next dinner. Tuesday, some of you guys

will find this gross. I enjoy spam. I'm a spam guy. So, yeah, I had spam for Tuesday. I got to shame you on spam. Spam and what? Just spam? No, I just throw spam, throw a piece of cheese on it, throw it in a bun,

call it a spam sandwich. Now, was it a flavored spam or just an OG spam? It's just an OG spam. It's something that my mom used to make for us when we were kids, and I think that's just why I like it because I had it at a young age. I'm not going to shame Spam. Yeah, no. Joe Coy, he has this video from Hawaii where they have like 20 different flavors of Spam. Yeah, Spam's huge over there.

I mean, I might throw something else besides just cheese, maybe a little mayonnaise or something. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. No, okay, I threw a couple condiments. I had mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, a little bit of hot sauce, a spicy sauce. All right. Wednesday, Wednesday, we. Definitely. No, okay. I threw a couple condiments. I had mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, a little bit of hot sauce and spices. All right. Wednesday. Wednesday, we got a little extravagant.

We went out to eat. Who's we? It's just me talking about me. Why? I don't know why. Dude, you're talking. Fine. I went out.

I was feeling a little extravagant. Are you lonely right now? Are you making up people in your head? We can get you a cat, man, or something. I have actually thought about adopting a dog. We will come back to that later. Oh, God. Bad idea, guys.

Wednesday, I went out to Popeye's, got myself some Popeye's. Love their spicy chicken sandwich. So fries, a biscuit on the side, and a drink to wash it down. Wash it down. That's true. Tyler, what are you planning for the weekend? Are you planning anything extravagant for your dinner for the weekend? So actually for the weekend, so March Madness starts tomorrow.

And our station is doing the first live event in over a year. So we're going to be doing, yeah, for all the midday and afternoon shows, our show unfortunately won't be there because the bar is not open at 6 in the morning. So for all the midday and afternoon shows, we're actually going to be hanging out at a bar and grill that's pretty similar to Lazy Dog. So I'm going to be getting drunk watching basketball. Okay. First thing top of mind when he started talking about this, I'm like, Tyler, watch your alcohol intake at a work event.

That's all I got to say. Metis' first experience with Tyler. I thought, okay, just to recap, I'm glad you brought this up. My very first experience with Tyler, I'm like, this guy's a psychopath. What happened? I don't know. What honestly is this? Oh my God, this is the Christmas party.

All right, Christmas party, yeah. Okay, Tyler's like working for the Woody show for like about a week. Right. I hadn't even officially started yet. Hold on, hold on, I want to hear this story. He was training and filling in with another person to possibly join the show. Yes. I don't remember exactly what happened.

I think there was like something that you messed up on like the day before. And then like, what do you ripped you on the air about it? Yeah. So Tyler's super new. He's not, we didn't even have time to put them on like the VIP list to get into this certain section with the show. Right. And so he's like drunk off his ass. the like the vip list to get into this certain section with right with the show right and uh

so he's like drunk off his ass he shows up to the the vip area i don't have any passes for him and looking into his eyes he's asking for woody and it looks like he wants to fight woody and i go uh i okay dude i'll see about getting you in and i'm looking at him and he looks like he is super like tyler's super angry i'm like i'm not letting this guy in i don't even know him so i just kept on like playing it off like oh yeah dude i'll let you in i'll let you in and i never let him in the entire night he stood there for a while too he was waiting to get in because i couldn't get a vibe because i didn't really know him like now that i know him i would have let him in he looked erratic yeah he looked honestly super crazy all of these answers could be correct i remember nothing all i remember is throwing up a word of life as a guy who's been

in that position and being stupid drunk at a work event no matter what it's not worth it so just be a little bit reserved it's to be like one beer an hour. It's going to be two beers an hour. Okay, fine. It's going to be two beers an hour. He's going to get a beer. What's going to happen is he's going to get a beer. He's going to get a beer.

Alyssa's going to approach him and be like, hey, let's do adios. Tyler's not ripped by any means. Sorry, Tyler. So his way of flexing on people is he likes to show off signs of like, look what I can do. So his go-to drink is always, for some reason, an adios, which insinuates goodbye, which means lights out. He's like, I can take two adios, no problem.

I'm just giving my advice because this is a great opportunity for him in Houston, and I just don't want him to do something wrong. Randy just spoke into my soul, and I don't like that. No, the only times i go really really gung-ho uh as of that last incident um are either when i'm with you guys for example palm springs we were all pretty drunk or when i'm with my best friends that i've known for 10 plus years yeah that's like they like i fully trust them 100 all right of alcohol, you want to get into some food news? Hell yeah.

Cacti is finally here. We talked about this many podcasts ago when it first got announced. That'd be Travis Scott's sparkling seltzer, hard seltzer. Are you all in, all out? People went crazy. Have you picked it up? Are you going to pick it up? I'm all in.

I'll try it. I haven't actively gone out to try to get it because I figured it'd be sold out. Yeah. Is this going to be something that people are like paying through the nose figured it'd be sold out. Yeah, is this going to be something that people are paying through the nose for because it's sold out? Yeah, and Randy's going to start flipping cans. That's too much work. I got this bot set up where, you know,

the second it's restocked. I just walked to the store. It looks like it's pretty stocked everywhere. I did see a couple people drinking it last night for St. Patrick's Day. Really? Yeah. And they were going hammer on it.

I think I'm going to check it out. And then, you know, another week, another seltzer. Tapachico is releasing their line of hard seltzers. The flavors will be Tangy Lemon Lime, Tropical Mango, Exotic Pineapple,

and Strawberry Guava, which apparently has not been a flavor in any seltzers before. Those are all good flavors. I'll try those. The cherries, the berries. The cherries are awful. Let's leave grapefruit in the past. Never again, please. Seltzers are good with lime and citrus.

Make it taste like a Sprite. Especially if it's a bubbly water company like Topo Chico. They know what's up. Every time I talk to them about Topo Chico, they only tell me good things. I've yet to try it. Maybe I should get around to getting some seltzers. I've yet to try it. So maybe I should get around the instant sausage. I've yet to try it as well. Surprising. As far as the Travis Scott one,

considering he's a Houston guy, I feel like I have to try it. Oh, heck yeah, since you're a Houston guy, right? God damn it. We get it. Yeah, man. You're Texas. In another announcement, Pepsi Mango is here to stay. Who knew it was a thing? don't know it arrived that sounds

like that sounds like one of those options you get when you go to like a restaurant they have that like little like pepsi thing kiosk and you choose your flavoring the creation it's here to stay forever who knew i don't know i haven't seen it maybe it was a strategy to like get them uh to get them to like get awareness out oh i'm gonna try and search online and see if I can find this. I got a Pepsi delivery not too long ago. I totally forgot I even signed up for this. Pepsi sent me, well it was like an entry thing, Pepsi hot chocolate.

Yeah, where is it? Well, I only have two cans, so it's kind of like fine wine. He's saving it to sell it online. No, I'm not going to sell it online. He does everything. Okay, Reese's eggs now have Reese's carrot shape. Okay, I'm down. So, you know, like Reese's eggs for Easter.

Now they're going to do carrots, and the carrots look like turds. I was going to say, so they're just like the Reese's Christmas trees with rounded off edges? Yeah. It's just upside down. Yeah, I was going to say, it's just the Christmas tree upside down. The chocolate and the peanut butter in those taste different, right? Yeah.

They taste almost better for some reason. I mean, oh, heck yeah. Right? It's true. The seasonal Reese's, they have the eggs now. Something creamier. The Christmas trees,

I think they might have jack-o'-lanterns for Christmas. So good. They taste different. Jack-o'-lanterns are really good. Maybe because they're fresh. Probably wrong, but because they're fresh. Probably wrong, but because they're fresher

because I feel like if it's just regular Reese's, they probably sit somewhere. I was thinking the same thing. Yep. Because it's seasonal. You can't sell Easter chocolate during Halloween.

I like your conspiracy theory on that one. Here's another thing. Are you all in, all out, new Fruit Loops gummies? In or out? Oh, man.

I'm out. Fruit Loops gummies. They said that it's supposed man. I'm out. Fruit Loops gummies. They said that it's supposed to taste like the cereal. No, I'm out. No, I'm definitely out. We're out. I mean, don't they already have Lifesavers? Yeah.

Yeah, Lifesaver gummies. But I guess if they're flavored like Fruit Loops. All right. How about this one? What does it even mean, though? Red Bull is set to launch this summer. Dragon Fruit Edition. All in, all out.

I'd be down with that. I like Dragon Fruit. I'm willing to try it after those bastards took away my orange. Is that what they took the orange away for, though? Seems like a funky flavor to me. Thanks a lot. Dragon Fruit's not bad, though. Try Red Bull Dragon Fruit with a little bit of vodka.

I bet you that goes down well. Alcoholic. Interesting. One beer. You're the only alcoholic if you go to the meeting man in in other food news kit kats key lime pie coming this spring all in all out i love key lime pie i've never i've never been to get down with key lime what i don't know why i like every all the components of it i like separately or in different dishes but key lime pie for some

reason i just can't get somebody else is gonna have to speak first when i say all in all out because randy tends to bring down the rain. Well, it's an open forum, guys. So if you want to jump in at any time. Well, you jump in first. I love pies, man. I love pies too. I'll eat pretty much any kind of pie.

Banana cream pie is the best pie though, hands down, in my opinion. Dude, key lime pie rules. But if anyone's a SoCal local and you want to get a really good key lime pie, our friends at Two Little Monkeys Bakery, you can find them on Instagram at Two Little Monkeys Bakery with an underscore.

I know my site's up, but with an underscore at the end. Hit them up. They have one of the most fantastic key lime pies and one of the most fantastic banana cream pies we've ever had. So, so, so, so, so, so good. NBA branded Oreos featuring legendary teams like the bulls spurs and magic are arriving this month in stores will that make you buy more oreos that have your team's logo on it be real so let's say the bills or the kings had you know their own logo oreo i was gonna poopoo

on it but if i walked by and i saw the billsills logo on a box of Oreo cookies, I'd probably buy it. You'd pick it up? Not that I'd be like, oh, sick, they're going to taste different, but I'd be like, oh, hey. Hey, kind of cool. Yeah, kind of cool. Tyler, the Atlanta Falcons are on an Oreo. It's the most prestige they'll ever get, ever. Careful, careful. Don't choke when you eat it, because, you know, Falcons are choking.

All right, look at it. They got jokes. Yeah, there's jokes. All right, anything going on in sports news? I haven't really kept up on anything crazy. The only thing that I saw, the only thing that I heard recently that was making some sports news in my feed was Shaq talking about lowering the rim for the WNBA and that not going over very well. Shaq's been acting hella reckless lately, like just saying.

Shaq, man. Who's going to stress him? Shaq, he can do anything. But have you noticed Shaq will do interviews.lla reckless lately. Shaq, man. Shaq. Yeah, but have you noticed Shaq will do interviews. Was it Donovan Mitchell? One of the players for the Jazz? That was awkward, yeah. Yeah, he's talking to him, and he's basically telling him, I have no idea.

Why should I respect you sort of thing? Well, it's because it's Shaq. He's from the I'm in the era that's better than your era, so I'm going to say what I want to say. But it doesn't seem like shack like as of lately just been i mean maybe shack is just gaining more of a personality especially if you look that he jumped into the wrestling world a couple weeks back again in actually a very good fashion i also noticed a lot of people that get to such financial success they give no f dude maybe i was gonna

bring it up is shack on every other commercial nowadays? Oh, yeah. I saw a tweet the other day that says Shaq does commercials like the man's in debt. Dude, he's definitely not. He's doing printer commercials

for Epson. Oh, yeah. Is he? What? Is he the new guy for the General too? Yeah, he's on General. He's been there for a while.

He's on another one though, but it's, crap, what is it? It's another insurance one. Papa John's. Papa John's, yeah. It's Shaq and Samuel Jackson. Samuel Jackson, he's like is it? It's another insurance one. Yeah. Papa John's. Yeah. He's Samuel Jackson. Samuel Jackson.

He's like, and then there's another one with Craig Anderson. He's like in the woods. It's not the same general commercial jerky or something. It's like, dude, you're in every, but yeah,

it's like, he's, he's like post NBA careers. Like, dude, you made enough money. Why are you in all these commercials? Hey,

you know what? It's making him stay relevant. I mean, we're talking about it. So you can, Oh, he wants to get an invite to shaq's house so do i yes yeah also in case uh you're wondering he's now doing ring doorbell commercials oh yeah uh nrg sports which is a gaming company like all right you know a gaming link he's in he's in that sweet hell yeah make sure you catch up on sports go to tailgatersports.com that's tailgatersports.com.

You guys just released a new episode. Yeah, we started talking about some of the March Madness. Actually, depending on when you're listening to this, you might still have time to get into our March Madness group, ESPN.com slash bracket. Tailgater Sports is the group name. Password, Falcon Suck. We're playing for a taco ball,

Maybe they didn't listen. Listen to the last podcast. They'll find out. All right. Eric, you working out? Yes or no? Yeah, I am actually. I saw you popping up on my Apple Watch.

Because when I was living in Glendale, once everything had that little middle area where they kind of opened back up and I was going to the gym, reservation only, inside, and then they did outside only. And my gym had a really crappy outside gym. So now I live down in California.

The outside gym over there is sweet. No reservations, a lot of room. So once I moved there, I've been going back for probably about three weeks now. And now they're opened up inside and outside, so there's like tons of room. Nice. So I am working out.

Yeah, I'm still going on the Peloton every day, but the problem is I've been really bad about the eating, man. And I got to get back on it because I was watching that video of me puking the other day. If you haven't watched it, check it out. At the Woody Show on Instagram, I did the Shamrock Shake Challenge, which really doesn't help what I'm about to say

because it was 800 calories per Shamrock Shake. And I had three and a half and I puked it all up. So maybe I lost a couple of calories. You can retain it. But I was watching the video. I was like, damn, man, kind of started working out more. It's super corny the same, but it's like, it starts in the kitchen, you know, all that crap, all that corny stuff. But it's true. Yeah. I mean, I, the first two weeks I still gained like four or five pounds when i was back at the gym because i was like drinking my ass off every weekend i was like okay i pumped down a 12 pack of modellos this weekend no wonder i didn't lose any weight yeah speaking about drinking i'm gonna be moving soon and i'm gonna collect all my bottles that i don't drink and i'm gonna put them in the middle of the room

and let you guys fight to the death. Yes! He did this a couple years ago and that was awesome. I had like, took three bottles home. Can someone send some to Houston? No. There's probably gonna be like 30 bottles. Oh jeez. Alright guys, well we gotta go. We gotta wrap this up. Before we do that, let's shout out

I'm going to see what Tyler is going to come up with. Well, I'm also going to be watching basketball. Well, listen, that's just a coming back. However, now I have to go make pancakes, sausage, and eggs for the breakfast I apparently am going to have to. All right. Oh, my gosh. Tyler, how much weight have you gained since you moved out there by yourself? Yeah.

What's your eating? Because your eating is wild to me. I'm going to be honest. I have one meal a day. So I don't think I've necessarily gained anything. But I don't think I've lost anything. I swear then, if you cycle in like two minutes of working out each day, you should at least lose some weight then.

So it's funny that you mention that because I've been door dashing on the side. And some of these places like these are upstairs. They're upstairs. That's a little bit of workout. I'm putting in some minutes on my watch. Tyler, Tyler, have you lost? Have you lost any weight though? I have no idea. I don't have a scale.

So I have no scale. Do you feel like you do? Do you feel looser? I feel a little bit looser, but yeah, it's going to be down to invest back in the gym. Tyler took the dash pod, a door dash, like dash to like- He's like, I'll walk up the stairs. Guys, I did three flights today. Tyler's going to bloat so bad eating only one meal a day.

Yeah, I know. You're going to become a camel. Well, that's not even healthy for you. You're supposed to eat like a full day's worth of food. That's why I don't believe him is I only eat one meal. No, it's honestly because of where I've been at work. It's all I have time for is one meal a day. All right, dude. Stay grinding, my friend. We'll see you

next week. Outro Music
