Do they get him instead? I'm just going to wear a shirt where the front says, what's new, and the back says, nerd out. It's like a kid when his parents, his divorced parents,

are sharing a Christmas holiday or at a student of the month assembly, and he's like, do I go with you're just like, do I go with you for dinner or do I go with you for dinner? It's kind of like I'm excited because I'm going to get gifts from both of them, but I know that one parent cares about me more than the other one. I remember when my parents were getting divorced

and we were still living in the same house and it was probably a couple weeks before they stopped living together. They sat me in a room and they go, where do you want to go to school oh my gosh do you want to go to clifford and then my mom suggested some other school and i don't even remember yeah my dad had like this excited voice like pick my school and so i i picked clifford yeah except in randy's case we like, you want to hang out with Nerd Now, right?

I know, I know. Yes, you do. So hang out with everybody again, January 15th, 2020. Free event, 6 to 9 p.m. at 2-Bit Circus. If you haven't looked up 2-Bit Circus, check it out. Just Google it. 2-Bit Circus, downtown Los Angeles. Yes.

We'll be there. I just want to say I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to release any podcasts while I was on vacation. I released one right when we went on vacation. And then I was going to release another one with our buddy Todd Grimes, which he's going to be on this podcast later in the show. And I was also going to put in our visit to PBR HQ. Right. But I just felt the energy was off. Yeah. We were super tired.

Eric, Nick Soundwave, who's a beer connoisseur, he wasn't there. We needed him there. Yeah. And I just wasn't really feeling the audio. And it was such a great time, but just in a podcast form, I don't think it would sound that great.

Maybe I'll release some of the audio later. Thank you for framing drunk nicely instead of beer connoisseur. Thanks for not saying alcoholic. Yeah. But it was super fun. sound that great maybe i'll release some of the audio later thank you for framing drunk nicely but it was super fun you can check out some photos at what's new pod on instagram may i shout out now this is not available everywhere it's only available in a few places but when we tried that pbr seltzer lime that they have. Oh, yeah. Out of all the Seltzers, Eric, Nick, this is why we need you there. Dude. I need you to speak on this. I was all in on the Summer of Seltzer, too.

I was all in on the White Claws and the True Leaves. This Seltzer was badass. And I've tried all those. This one was the best. It was lime, too? Yeah. That's good, man. The lemony ones are the best ones.

There's no weird aftertaste nothing you know what the aftertaste was? the lime that was it it ended with the lime those are the dangerous ones the ones that taste good after too I'm not even fronting every single thing they brought out was dope everything was good

now I know it sounds super weird they had coffee infused PBR and that was super good. And to your point about when the seltzer tastes too good, the coffee, Brett and I were talking about this, the coffee tasted almost too good to the point where we're like, oh, I could down like four of these. It had alcohol in it? Oh, yeah.

Of course. Oh, yeah. And there was a minor amount of caffeine, not too much to mess with you, but it was enough to kind of keep you awake and enjoying it. Yeah, we tried all these other beers. That was the start of my downfall, guys. I missed the PBR tour, and then my year just crashed from this. I'm sick.

I haven't even rebounded from that. This is the universe telling you. So good. Look, Eric, let me just say it this way. I don't remember leaving PBR, but I remember waking up in front of the station. You guys did give me a call to drive home. You guys did give me a call to drive home. I actually have photos. That I barely remember.

What I remember is I was really buzzed. I had about 10 slices of pizza to counteract it. Oh, yeah. I ate so much pizza. You kept on giggling like you just did right now. I couldn't feel my legs at all. Dude, it was like having Shrek

at PBRHQ. I don't know about that. Yeah, and Eeyore at the same time. Okay, that's that. Oh, yeah. Don't even get me started with Brandy on. We bring Brandy to PBR HQ to try PBR for the very first time. This is the very first one.

All the PBR workers are there. We build it up. We have the recorder. Okay, I'm going to play some audio. I think you need to. PBR, here you go. Here's your first one. it up we have the recorder okay I'm gonna play somebody eventually people are here you go here's the first one it's cool beer it's beer oh yeah I got I remember distinctly hmm man that's a good beer okay but check this out though check this out though see like I'm out, though. Check this out, though. See? He's going to rephrase it.

No, no, no. I'm not rephrasing it. I'm saying like five minutes later, one of the marketing guys came. This is from Australia. And he tries it. And he's like, oh, it's a very beer-y taste. I'm like, see? I told you.

Beer-y taste. Even a PBR guy said it. Randy, he's not a podcaster or a radio DJ, man. You have to be even audible on your response when you try something. All right, let's do some feedback then. As opposed to what I said, what would you guys have said? Some constructive criticism. Let's go.

Let's hear it. Holy hell, this is amazing. Yeah. Oh, man, I love it. And I love that it's super light and it's not dark and it has nasty flavor. And it's flavorful, yet it's not bitter, but it's not too sweet. It envelopes very well in your mouth when you drink it. You got to go into it and describe

exactly what it is your taste buds are feeling. Yeah, you tell them, Tyler. Yeah. Yeah, you tell them how to do a shot. Feel it. Or when I got that mule and I was like, dude, this is really good, man. I love it.

It's awesome. Dude, I hyped up everything else. Everything else was bomb. Sorry. Because we yelled at you. No, not either. Because we yelled at you the first time. Dude, the coffee was fire. Don't worry.

We're going to crap on you more later. I have it on my list here. But a lot of people hit me on social media the past couple weeks because I was in China. I hit up Disneyland, Hong Kong. I hit up Shanghai Disney. I hit up Macau, which is basically like their Las Vegas in Asia. And so many different questions. I'll give you a couple of different answers.

They asked me, what was my power rankings when it came to parks? Now that I have visited every single Disney park in the world, here are my power rankings number one hong kong disney is number one for me now really because it has all the old school rides and it has some new stuff like marvel right had a iron man ride they had an Iron Man ride. They had an Ant-Man ride. I absolutely loved it. They also let you buy Fast Passes for all the rides. So I hit up the entire park within three hours. And that's because I stopped for lunch. And I went and had some dim sum that was made into Disney characters.

You can see it on my Instagram, at Menace. Now, I did go over Shanghai and Shanghai, I'll tell you this has the best rides out of all the Disney's in the world. But the only thing I felt it was missing was it didn't have a lot of the old school rides, no magic mountain, no small world. No, they didn't have a lot of the old school rides available. It was just all new stuff. Yeah. See that that's, that's a big thing for me and theme parks when you start taking out all the old rides and you just have new stuff i'm not a big fan of that you know there's a there's a couple theme parks there's one in florida that keeps all the old stuff and i love it yeah you know so you like the old disney vibe

like the old but what was cool about hong kong is they had the old school stuff but it was updated so it had that's cool the best in the world the best space mountain you even go backwards that's cool uh all the images are super sharp on the wall not randomly dull yeah no it was legit i loved it uh i hung out in Hong Kong. A lot of questions. Was there riots? Was there protests going on while I was there? There was actually a riot at a mall.

But I just want to educate people. When you're watching the news, don't believe everything you see, okay? Because when you're watching the news, you would think Hong Kong was on fire. Every building is being torn down. That was not happening. There was a riot that happened at a mall while I was there. There's 150 malls in Hong Kong, by the way. I looked it up. There's 7.5 million people that live in Hong Kong. So even if there was 2,000 people protesting somewhere, it didn't affect me at all i never felt unsafe ever well the same

could be said if anyone's looking at california and you know we had tons of wildfires in the last couple years but of course the major one that happened in 2018 everyone hit me up saying hey is that by you yeah no it's 30 miles away but of course the one fire that was nearest no one cared no one even paid attention yeah so it's the same thing i did this whole instagram post i said look i know the world seems super scary because of news and things like that go check out the world hong kong ruled go visit hong kong i was able to be on instagram everybody has instagram there everybody has facebook i know people hear a lot of stuff about china where a lot of things are blocked. They had Uber. That was able to go everywhere.

They have major fast food chains. KFC is the bomb. Dude, McDonald's. They have the best fried chicken at McDonald's available there. It rules. Every single Americanized restaurant that was in Asia I saw Menace go to, with fried chicken, I said, that's the only damn thing he's getting. It looks better and it tastes better everywhere. Did Taco Bell have fried chicken?

I didn't even look. I did have a chicken quesadilla, though. What? Damn it. I've spoken to people from outside of America, and they say in their countries, KFC is like a luxury food. Oh, it's everywhere. Yeah.

It's like special occasion food. I was in Okinawa, Japan on Christmas Eve and people just ordering it like crazy because they think the Colonel is Santa Claus. There's some thing. I don't know. There's some weird thing. They have special. I think there was like a weird commercial alization earlier and it crossed over because he does kind of look like Santa Claus. Dude, there was a line

of people just waiting to pick up their orders because that was going to be their meal for the night with their family. So basically they just worship the colonel as if he was God. Yeah. Love it. Just like Tyler does. All the packaging was all Christmas themed. They had a colonel dressed up as Santa.

It was nuts. How affordable is the food there? Is it more expensive over there than it is here, like fast food-wise? I would say in Shanghai it was a little more expensive. To explain Shanghai to everybody, it's like New York City was built five years ago, and everything is brand new and clean. That's so cool. It is the ish. But just like New York City, everything is a little bit more expensive.

Yeah, yeah. That's why I was saying my big takeaway from almost all your videos is everything looks so bright and pretty much clean yeah like everything looked very crisp and you know there was never really like you know new york it's like oh there's a bum over there there's a crane over there but yeah everything you posted it's like okay well this looks clean and kind of fun, almost cartoonish. It's so bright and vivid. I was in Macau, which, again, is the Las Vegas of Asia. Dude, at my hotel, I stayed at the MGM. They were selling Lamborghinis, and they had ladies picking up little tiny balls of lint with tweezers and putting it in little baskets. It was that clean.

Now, here's my question. I'm going to keep it with food because obviously we all love food. How hard is it to order? Now, and I've heard this for people that go to Japan and you've told me this. There's pictures on everything. So it's easy for you to go say,

I want that. Yeah. But is it hard to order specific foods from say while you're in Hong Kong or Shanghai? And is it easy to understand like the money switch over uh well the money thing definitely google helps they have a quick conversion okay so you know anything that you need to know automatically right there for you right but the food ordering thing when it came came to Hong Kong, everyone speaks English.

It used to be under British rule. Right. So it's very hard to run into somebody that is not able to speak English. Yeah, right. So that was super easy. But when I got to Shanghai, it was pretty hard because at Shanghai Disney, they have only Pepsi. And it's weird because everywhere else here in America, it's Coke. So there was a giant sign that said Pepsi.

And we go, can we have a Pepsi? And they had no idea what we're talking about. Really? Yeah. So it's kind of weird. So they definitely had to like, yeah, but it's not. Yeah. It was a little bit difficult to communicate in Shanghai versus anywhere else right and I went to the Philippines Japan and again people just speak English right I think a lot of people don't

realize that like you said with you know England British rule over Hong Kong and everything like that happened in India that happens in Africa that's like everywhere so pretty much everywhere they do speak English to a degree. And again, if you're not able to communicate, you figure out a way to communicate. If you want to see a bunch of videos, I saved them all on my Instagram. So all the Instagram stories on my profile. If you want to see what Hong Kong Disney looks like or Shanghai Disney, or if you just want to see what those cities look like. Again, just go to at menace on Instagram and you can see all the photos and videos.

I have a question. That one's a cool. Yeah. All the countries you've traveled to, which one do you think you could live in? Ooh, um, definitely I could, well, I'll say cities, but I can definitely live in London. Super easy. It's like fancy America. Yeah.

Um, Tokyo, I'd love to live in. Hell yeah. Shanghai was super dope. Hong Kong, I could do. Yeah, those top four outside of the US, I could totally do it. Oh, cool. I'll see you in Tokyo. Yes, let's go.

I have a question. All right. So when you go to these different countries, do they call it like Chinese food, Japanese food, or do they just call it food? Yeah, they just call it food. It's pretty crazy. I was on a cruise the first week. It's based out of Hong Kong. So it's mainly just Chinese food throughout the entire buffet. And there was one little section that said American food. So they call it American food and then food. That was it. It was super delicious

by the way too. That answers all my questions. The noodle game was so strong they had so many different kinds of noodles it would blow your mind. I have a question. This one's not as fun as that one. How far? We see us four

five? We see you go across the other side of the world Because honestly, it's like, you know, we see us four, five, whatever. So like we see you go, you know, you're on across the other side of the world, right? How far in advance is it? Because this is, to me, this is like monumental planning in my head. Like traveling to another country. Like I've only been on the country once and it was like a Euro trip in high school and everything. I just paid money and they planned it for me. You know, as an adult now, it's like, okay,

if I ever want to do something like this, it's on me. So me grasping like you going to China, let alone a cruise to China, touring Disney, you know, like for two weeks. My mind can't even comprehend the amount of planning. Maybe. Is it hard to plan something like this? I'm assuming it would be.

Well, dealing with China was a little bit difficult uh we probably started planning six months in advance so we started with okay uh we love cruises where should we go cruise let's try a cruise in asia so we book hong kong all right then we we figure out that first week okay and they go okay well when we get off the ship and we're in hong kong we definitely want to go to disneyland so then we plan the next day all right well what's the day we're going to do after that okay then we plan the next day and then everything the hard part was knowing that if we flew into hong kong and then we were going to go into Macau, which Macau is actually run by the Portuguese government. So we were going to leave Macau and then fly to Shanghai.

Well, in order to do that, you need a visa. Had no clue. So we found out a month before we were going to leave that we needed a visa for that. i had to go to the chinese consulate and do an interview and they held on to my passport for a week as they researched everything to make sure that i was legit what just to get the visa at that point that was just so i could take a two-hour flight to go to shanghai i'm like i gotta do what all right all right babe we're going to san diego for the weekend yeah yeah so it's a lot of planning but it was weird because if i went shanghai first and then I went to Macau and to Hong Kong, I wouldn't need the visa. So it's just little tiny things you got to research.

Okay. All right. Since we're doing this, I have a question. All right. So when you fly long international flights like this, what kind of class do you typically do? Do you do economy, economy plus? What is your preferred method of travel when you fly out?

I do business class i would love to do first class but if you're doing first class you're talking about five grand per person each way wow hell no yeah unless there's like some mega deal i'm never in first class i do business class i. I don't do economy. Business class is almost first class. It just doesn't lay down all the way. But you still have, it's like you're in a Barker lounger. Oh, okay. Yeah. Cool.

It's cool. How long was the flight? It was like 14 hours. Oh, my God. 14 hours straight. Could you imagine Randy trying to set out a flight for 14 hours? When I did the Euro trip, it was like 13 to Greece. And it was economy.

We're high school kids. So we piloted in the back of a huge airplane. And it was four on the left, like eight in the middle, four on the left. And it was dude. So I did all that. And before I came back home to Los Angeles, I stopped in San Francisco.

And it was Nacho's birthday, so we went to Foca de Chão. Foca de Chão. I didn't realize how many locations that place has. There's one in downtown LA, I think. Everywhere. Everywhere. You know what it is?

The Brazilian Steakhouse? I knew the name. I've never been there, but I did know the name. Super delicious. Tyler would destroy that place. Hell yeah. He would shut it down. They destroy a lot of things.

That block thing, like the green-red. He would shut it down. They destroy a lot of things. But that block thing, like the green red block, you flip it over. Yeah. Yep. And then they just keep on giving you meat. And then, so I'm there. I'm having a good time. And then I check Instagram and then I immediately get angry. And I've decided in 2020, I'm just not going to be passive aggressive anymore with Randy.

I'm just going to tell him straight up while I'm mad at him. I appreciate this. Okay. Let me just tell you a little story. No, no, no, no. Let me tell you a little story. All right. Here we go.

Let me tell you a little story. Okay. You want me to cut the microphone? Yeah. No, no, no. Weeks ago. Yeah. Randy says, Hey man, I want to have lunch with you.

I want to talk about like, you know about what direction I should go in my career. If you have any advice for me. I said, sure, Randy, no problem. And I already knew it was a bad idea because on the way there to the place I told him where to go, I'm going to be at Shake Shack in Glendale, California at this time. Just meet me there. We'll go over it.

Right. I'm almost there he calls me he's like hey um you said uh Crack Shack in Pasadena right I remember I did I know I know dude Shake Shack Glendale what are you talking about oh yeah yeah I didn't even know they had a Crack Shack. Yeah. I didn't even know they had a Crack Shack in Pasadena. Yeah, it just opened. Okay. I actually know why that happened. Because both of you had discussed, okay, you guys were meeting up. And, you know, Randy tries to do one on the sly,

and he looks like a child that's about to get into trouble. Yeah. You know, like he's lying to everybody. But it really doesn't matter. And, Mads, you were just like, oh, hey, we're going to go to Glendale. If you guys want to roll with, you can, whatever, whatever. And then you both wait your separate ways. Before you left, though, Randy starts talking to Eric about Crack Shack.

Yeah, fried chicken sandwiches. And then it got stuck in his head, so he got confused where he was going. Crack Shack has thrown a crank in our life since Vegas. We've been really hooked on Crack Shack since that night. All Eric and I can think about is just fried chicken sandwiches, hot chicken. Okay, yeah. I'm not defending myself. That's obviously a blooper. So he randied his

own meeting with you. So yeah, it starts off that way. And then, okay, then it was cool. Then I go, okay, Randy, well, here's my advice to you. Yeah. Alright. You have an awesome opportunity. you're on the radio in los angeles california the second largest radio market in the country you have your own shift that is a regular radio shift you are a dj now i go you got to start acting like it i gave him a bunch of ideas i won't waste your time with that but i said i said

the absolute minimum the absolute minimum you should be doing which i repeated probably four or five times i go dude you just got to post on social media that you're on the radio yeah just say hey tune in i'm on the radio right Yeah. Just say, Hey, tune in. I'm on the radio right now. All 98, seven are crab radio. Tune in. Here's a link.

Just do that. First week after our meeting doesn't do it. Yeah. He told men has told me to be less dependent on the story and more posting. And I, Oh, no, no,

no, no. Wait, hold on. All right. So then, so then I go okay nothing no twitter nothing nothing's on the instagram that uh hey tune in i'm on the radio so i'm back in san francisco

i know radio i know randy's on the radio what's he doing on his instagram story the dumb like oh what disney character am i not like I'm on the radio, nothing. He's just doing that stupid oh, the thing tells you that you're poor or whatever. That's all he's doing. That every basic bitch is doing right now.

Why is he wasting my time asking for advice? I gave him the most simple thing and I said, dude, you know how to post this stuff and make it easy for you online where it's just brainless still didn't do it i i'm not i'm not gonna defend myself i remembered every single every night one of those nights i was like menace for sure is probably like look at this idiot not doing what so hold on hold on hold on you. Oh, no, you know what? I'm going to dig you a little hole because he's giving you crap for weekend number one and weekend number three.

There was also weekend number two in there where this also happened. I'm also going to add one more thing because Randy constantly tells me, hey, man, you know, you need to post more for the broadcast. You need to do this. Go hidey-eye. However, is he listening to any of his own advice so suddenly we got it i i said in 2020 i'm gonna leave bitter jerk randy back in 2019 i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not gonna play your dance guys all i can say is i'm gonna get better that. That's all I can do. We got a group text from Menace asking,

is Randy even on the radio anymore? Suddenly that makes so much more sense. I know. Because that was me being passive. I knew it was coming, but I thought it was pretty funny. I'm not trying to bash on you. I thought it was really funny that Tyler thought Menos was being serious and he wasn't trying to shoot a dig at me.

He's like, yeah, I believe so. It's a dig at me, dog. Also, please never, ever say I'm trying to be better to me ever again because that was Tyler's excuse for the first 14 months he was here. Oh, damn. That's ironic because I haven't been here 14 months. Oh, wow. Yeah, because you're still saying it today.

Oh, my gosh. Lesson learned. So that's that. Speaking about Tyler, what's up with his shoe situation? I heard there was a shoe found in the studio that you work in. And now it's like a what? A high heel. Oh, my God.

And you have been accused of bringing your lady into the studio and having relations now do you want to defend yourself and for whatever reason hudson keeps her shoes in her cabinet and ready excuse me hold on hold on okay so just fyi there's some mystery shoe found in the studio a woman's shoe yeah and we asked Tyler where it came from. Now you're blaming Hudson, one of the DJs. It's legitimately in Hudson's cabinet. Randy, for whatever reason, goes through her cabinet and

is like, oh, whose shoe is this? Blah, blah, blah. There must have been something new in the building. Randy had to find it. Look, guys. Randy's always looking for stuff to find anyway. Look, Tyler, I'm not going to go off on you. I'm just Randy's always looking for stuff to find anyway I look Tyler I'm not gonna go off on you I'm just gonna say at least I'm not bringing my

girlfriend to work that was like once a couple months ago that's fine I'm gonna defend Tyler I don't think that's a big deal people have family members here people have their significant others here people have kids here all the time.

If I were to go up to anybody in my family, even my fiance, who I've been with for 13 years, and said, hey, babe, go ahead and come to work with me tomorrow. Okay, what time you got to be in? Before 3 a.m. I would have get kicked in the balls, middle finger. There's no way anybody's going to come to me with work that early in the morning. Hold on, hold on, hold on a second, okay?

Look, I knew that she... It seems like Tyler's lady on, hold on, hold on a second. Okay, look. Tyler's lady loves him a lot more. No, look, look, look. That's because he has a baby on the way off. No, no, shut that down. We are not going that. We are not going that. It's a new year. We're leaving that in 2019.

That's not coming in 2020. Because the babies do this year. No, no, it's not. Because it is non-existent. Yeah. It is not there. What size easy is the baby gonna be? No, no, no. Is it gonna wear going to be? No, no, no.

Is it going to wear the high heels? No, no. Don't you start that. Don't you come at me with that. I was just trying to talk about this mystery shoe. Like I said, it's Hudson's shoe. Randy's going through her cabinet for whatever reason. And he's like, oh, look, it's Tyler's shoe.

And I'm just like, look, I will roll with the punches. I'll be like, all right, cool. You want to do this? Let's do this. I'll just roll with it. I don't care that much. The plot actually thickens. The reason why I was going through the drawer.

No, no, no. The reason I was actually going through the drawer. And Tyler remembers. This is actually kind of creepy. Somebody... Oh, actually, yeah. This is actually really creepy. The reason why I was going through the drawer was somebody photocopied his face.

Okay, so Julianna's a picture of Kevin, her husband, and herself on their wedding day. And somebody photocopied Tyler's face onto Kevin, like the wedding picture. And we didn't know where Julianne's original picture was. Julianne was super pissed, like, where's my picture? We didn't know where it was. So the only copy was the copy with Tyler's face on it.

So we were trying to find it, and we looked, because we didn't look through the drawers, so we looked through the drawer, and that's where we found the sheet. Where's that copy? I want to see that. Oh, it's right there, actually. Oh, it's right there. That has to be Seabass who did that.

No, we found out who it was. It's a board up in the building, but it's kind of like a joke. But we, dude, we didn't know. When we saw the picture, there was no alert. Nobody told us. It was just there. So I come in and I'm watching the board and Randy comes in and he's talking to me for a split second.

He happens to look over to where Julianne sits and he's like, dude, what is this? And I said, what are you talking about? And he pulls up this picture and I look at him. I said, what the hell is that? I don't like this. Like, what is it? it dude it was so weird it was i gotta take a picture of this and i'll put it on our instagram at what's new potter and we're finding this at like four in the morning it's creepy it's christmas eve man i'm just trying to celebrate christmas i think the what is this

the creepiest part though is tyler tyler noted that the picture they use the head of his he's got curly hair in that picture yeah that, that's a super old picture. So the person who did it either went digging through my Facebook or my Instagram and went digging deep because I have not had my hair that curly in years. Yeah. So it was a bit creepy. Let's get back to Eric real quick. I was following a lot of football while I was on vacation.

And dude, I saw your bills, man. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's unfortunate. Was it down to the wire or what oh well it went to overtime i don't know if i'd call it down to the wire they got lucky that it went that deep um but no it's it's buffalo so i'm used to being upset and being let down by them but it was a good reason to drink on a saturday morning that's for sure yeah i think you guys texted me about kickoff and i was maybe like six or seven deep.

Around the mid-third quarter, he stopped texting back. I'm like, yeah, he's gone. It was also getting stressful. The less I'm active on that group message at that time, I was definitely more into the game. It did come down to the wire because we think the Bills kicked a game-tying field goal late and they lost an OT

after giving it up. Okay, I'm going to ask you guys for the 100th time, who's going to the Super Bowl this time? Now that we're this far deep. I was staying pat on the Saints all season, but they got eliminated by the Vikings in the first round. So after, based on, I mean, you've got to base on who's left. So who do we have left?

We have Ravens, Chiefs. Chiefs, Packers. Packers. Niners. Seahawks. Vikings Seahawks. Vikings. And then there's two more AFC teams.

Titans. Titans and Houston. All right. So I would probably lean towards, I mean, the Ravens are the sexy pick because they just trucked everybody all season long. But in the AFC, I'm going to probably lean with, I mean, I'll probably go Ravens versus Seahawks. I like Russell Wilson.

I like Chiefs Packers. Packers fan all the way. But you know what, dude? I think the Texans might pull off an upset against the Ravens. The Ravens have had that week off, that week of rest. You've seen it happen, dude. They already played once this year. Learn from your mistakes.

All right. Tyler? So I'm in the same boat as Eric. My picks got blown up because New Orleans lost over the weekend. Yeah. So I originally had Raven Saints, and I got to switch it. I'm going to keep it with the Ravens and the AFC. I'm going to switch to the 49ers and the NFC.

49ers. Yeah, so we're going to have two number one seeds battle it out. It's a rematch of the Super Bowl a couple years ago. I would love to see what the cost of tickets would be for a 49ers game because all those tech guys that are around there, they pay dumb money. ago. I would love to see what the cost of tickets would be for a 49ers game because all those tech guys that are around there, they pay dumb money. I was trying to go to a

Warriors game while I was in San Francisco. Dude, it is so much money. A decent ticket is $400 plus. Decent ticket. Well, that's what they're complaining about is that they priced out all the diehard fans that were there when the warriors sucked and then the warrior is going to suck again because all the injuries you know kd's gone stuff like that

and now i read something that they were even more mad because all the people that bought season tickets back when they were good you know because they were selling them before the arena was done yeah now they suck and now a bunch of these season ticket members are complaining like curry's hurt clay's hurt why am i paying this money for these i don't want to come here so now it's just when i did go to a better time for the warriors like they did have clay out there doing commentary yeah so that's that's what i'm down to it's like they're it's all a gimmicky stuff and then they've even started axing um nationally televised warriors games because i mean it's the warriors so they set out the nationally televised schedule

months in advance season. So they've already axed, I think, like three national televised games because they're not, I mean, they played the Kings yesterday. I think they lost. Pretty soon, the only affordable game to go in the Bay is the A's.

Oh, true that. Go walk around in the toilet water. Yeah. Oh, we're flowing there. All right, real quick, we have a message. Oh. Real quick, I just happened to look up 49ers tickets. The cheapest one is going for $250 for this weekend, and that's in the nosebleed.

Most expensive is going to be on the field, and it's $25,000. Damn. That's for one. That's what I'm talking about. Our buddy DJ Scotty Fox actually has season tickets. He's been with them since they've sucked hardcore. He's all in. I'm sure he's loving all the wins right now. Real quick, we have a message from

Seabass, of all people. Seabass, what's up? Hey, What's New Pod listeners. This is Seabass from the Woody Show. I've got a gift for Randy, Tyler, Bort, and the rest of the What's New Pod crew. That is Screwball Whiskey. Screwball Whiskey is not just whiskey. It is a peanut butter whiskey.

And you might be saying, what the f*** is peanut butter whiskey? And I will say that it piqued my curiosity, too, because I actually went out and bought Screwball Whiskey before I was given the opportunity to tell you guys about them. Look, I'm from Tennessee. I've gone on many whiskey distillery tours. Whiskey, by far, my favorite spirit. And I can say that Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey actually rules. And I would recommend you do what I did. Go to screwballwhiskey.com to learn more about their story.

They got some really interesting videos up there. Screwball started as a cocktail at the restaurant of Stephen and Brittany Yang, a husband and wife couple. If you've ever been to the OB Noodle House and Bar in Ocean Beach outside of San Diego, you know what it is. They said, hey, this thing's so damn popular at the bar, we're going to bottle it and sell it across America. And that's exactly what they're doing. Because if you go to most any decent liquor store out there, Screwball is available. Just ask if you don't see it. You can drink it straight on the rocks, chilled.

There's a ton of cocktails you can find at screwballwhiskey.com. So are you ready to hashtag get screwed? What's new pod, people? Screwball is the original and most awarded peanut butter whiskey. It's now available, again, nearly everywhere. Enjoy responsibly. Advertisement by Screwball Spirits LLC San Marcos, California. Whiskey with

natural flavors and caramel color. 35% alcohol by volume. Alright, thank you Seabass. Some other news that broke while I was traveling which kind of made me nervous and I want to ask you guys. Now I don't want to get political but I just want to ask

you, are you nervous? Are you afraid? What do you think? This whole Iran stuff. Oh, now I don't know what to think, because like I was saying, when it came to Hong Kong, you know, when you watch the news, you think Hong Kong is pretty much destroying itself. And I was just walking around Hong Kong and it was perfectly fine. When it comes to this Iran stuff, I just don't know what to believe anymore.

Yeah. What's the threat level? Should I be afraid? Are you afraid? Randy, who's the hypochondriac of the show? No. Are you tripping out? Are you making a bomb shelter?

No. I'm more afraid for the people who are in the embassies and people who got shipped out there because now they got a big target on their head. Yeah. And I think not too long ago, was it the prime minister, the president? I don't know what they have in Iran. He basically said in a big press meeting, and it's been translated accurate, that when he says death to Americans, he's not talking about us.

He's talking about our politicians and our rulers and our military and stuff. So, I mean, I'm not freaking out too much. Granted, you don't really know what people in the country are thinking there could be some militias some organizations that might take it to heart but i wouldn't trip out too much i think i thought you'd be more worried about your selective service i know dude i got two bum knees from high school anywhere dog that ain't going anywhere that's why the only thing though, I know it was funny, but that's why I didn't post any on the Woody show, Instagram at the Woody show of the world war three memes,

because like, dude, there's legit soldiers out there that, you know, they're putting their life on the line and I want to be, I don't want to be joking about that kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

I saw like some wrestling related ones or like some to call of duty and stuff. And I was just like, see, that's, but that's why I've, I've some wrestling-related ones or some to Call of Duty and stuff. I was just like, ah. But that's why I've honestly, man, I'm at the point now where I don't even know if I want to keep Twitter anymore. Why? Well, just because of the whole back and forth of what's been going on. I have people who I follow who are in the armed forces. They're defending what they're doing. And then you have people who aren't in the armed forces calling them names, killers, et cetera whatever and it's just it's for me it's just tiring why don't you read all these

things why don't you just mute the keywords for people you do i've been muting as much as i can but stuff inevitably falls through it it's just it's so well this became even without that just the politics stuff on social media oh it's exhausting dude i mute all that stuff i've unfollowed so many people and comedians too. I'm like, I'm here for the funny. I'm here for the funny. There's nothing. Tyler, are you afraid for your children?

Oh, God. Shut it down. Shut it down. I'm kind of with Randy. I'm more afraid for those people overseas. I actually have a buddy of mine who shipped out in Qatar right now. So, I mean, it's not Iran, obviously, but it's the same general area. So I'm more worried for him.

But as far as us here back home, I'm not really all that concerned. I think we'll be fine. But if the draft comes, it was nice knowing you guys. I'll be on my way to Mexico or Canada or international seawaters. Tyler, not to be a dick, but I think you're good, bro. Oh, wow. That's not true. They need drivers but I think you're good, bro. Oh, wow. That's not true. They need drivers. They need cooks.

They need human shields. They said they could be drafted up to I think 45 or even if you're 50s, it depends on your skill set. I'm going to suddenly dye my hair gray and just run away. They might need a board operator to run radio stations.

They might need a seminar guy, a radio guy. Look, if my board operator, I'm doing it for like Robin Williams and Good Morning Vietnam, then yeah, I'm good. Yeah. I don't know. It's all very scary. I feel for any of our military people. Yeah.

I have one of the things that really sucks, though, is they were interviewing some of the families of the people who got deployed. Some of them, no warning at all. Yeah. Hey, one of the things that really sucks, though, is they were interviewing some of the families of the people who got deployed. Some of them, no warning at all. Yeah. Hey, guys. Just gotta go. Tomorrow, you gotta go. We're going to Kuwait. That's what it is. I know, but it sucks because, obviously, nobody knew this was going to happen, and then

it happens, and then everyone's getting just shipped out. Yeah, I mean, that's the scariest thing. It's tough. Yeah. Plus, Iraq now says that Iraq wants all of us, all the military, they want them out. So all the military in Iraq, they're dipping out, and mean, that's the scary thing. It's tough. Plus, Iraq now says that Iraq wants all of us, all the military, they want them out. So all the military in Iraq, they're dipping out, and so now it's like, okay, well, what's going on now? I'm down to just leave the entire region. Dude, that's what I've been

saying, man. Look, I understand. Look, I get it. I don't know. Dude, I don't know a dick about politics. I don't care. But the thing is, like, why the hell are we even there? We've been there for 15 years. Nothing has happened. Look, without getting too much into it, though, it's like we leave, then all of a sudden it's a free-for-all. That's not my goddamn problem, bro.

I don't need America to police the world. We dropped $2 trillion on the military. The only people are suffering here in America. Allegedly. The only people are suffering here. I hate to be that like, oh, well, you know, guns are bad or whatever, but it's like, dog, we've been in a war my entire life. I don't know any of the answers. Yeah, but see, I don't hate i hate to be that like oh well you know guns are bad or whatever but it's like dog we've been in a war my entire life i don't know any of the answers yeah not but see i don't know the answers either so it's like i don't know here's the answer don't trust anybody and try to

be as happy as possible and just join the coast guard man uh there's something i want to get to now we were going to post it while we were on break it's our interview with our buddy todd grimes now mandalorian has finished it's wrapped and also the new star wars movie came out we didn't even get to talk about that boards thoughts i loved all of it all of it everything oh i everything there's a broadcastortcast on too. I loved it. Yeah, go to thebortcast.com. Check out the full recap.

Shameless plug. I loved it as well. I did hate maybe the first 10, 15, 20 minutes. Of the movie? Yeah, because it looked super cartoonish and moved super fast in the beginning. They definitely didn't have any lead up. They just dropped straight into it. You know what other movie did that? The original Star Wars. I'm not complaining.

I'm just saying. Stop being a dick, Randy. Don't be such a nerd about it. No, but I just... That's why I like Mandalorian because I like it gritty. I want it gritty. The beginning of it seemed too cartoonish. That's your blood.

But I did enjoy it. I loved it. It was great. I loved it. It was awesome. The reason we're talking about Star Wars is because Todd Grimes was a part of a Star Wars project that you might have heard about,

but you never got to see. It got shelved. It's currently shelved right now, and we want to talk to him about it. So let's bring in Todd Grimes. Give it up, everybody! Thank you for coming in so much. Your name came up because we were talking about Mandalorian

and the new Star Wars movie coming out, and you know a little something about Star Wars. Yeah, yeah, I know something about Star Wars. Well, give a little bit of your background on what you do and what you're all about. Okay, yeah. Well, first of all, let me say thanks for having me here. No, thank you for coming by. And yeah, so I'm an animation producer, director.

Yeah. And I've done lots of shows at various different places like Lucasfilm, Nickelodeon. Yeah, small companies. I've been coming. Yeah, yeah. Warner Brothers. No one's heard of them at various different places like Lucasfilm, Nickelodeon. Yeah, small companies. I've been coming. Yeah. Warner Brothers. No one's heard of them at all. So we stopped by your work and we chatted with you.

And we started going through some of your past and things that you worked on. And you basically lived on the Lucas Ranch. How'd that come to be? Lucky. How'd that happen? Well, I didn't live on the ranch, but I lived. Well, I practically lived there. Yeah.

I was there all the time during those times. But yeah, the guys who make Robot Chicken, they did some Star Wars spoofs on the show. George Lucas really liked what they did. So he was like, hey, let's do more of this together. Yeah. So, you know, they made a special that was more of a, you know chicken sort of short format but they did a whole star wars special and then george was like hey well you know everybody else is doing this i want to do this and yeah nice um yeah and then they needed basically a showrunner um that was willing to move up to northern california and work with

george at the ranch and yeah that was me oh you, you're willing to do it. You're like, hey, Todd, do you want to come up to live on the ranch? Do you want to be on the ranch with us? Do you want to produce a Star Wars show? Do you want to work with George Lucas? Nice that I'm thinking about it. Or is it a hard pass? Like, well, let me get back to you next week. Well, the thing that George really liked about what Matt and Seth did,

the guys who make Robot Chicken, was that he liked that the fact that they weren't making fun of Star Wars, but they were sort of making fun of like the ironies of that world. Yeah. Yeah. Like incontinuity jokes. Right. Right. And, you know, and sort of stuff like, you know, those Gamorrean guards, the big fat pig guys at Jabba's Palace. It's kind of like, you know, the idea of like, what do those guys do when they're not,

like, do they go to the grocery store? Do they online date? You know, and it's sort of like looking into that world, a look inside that, you know, mining comedy from those sort of ironies. Yeah, it was funny because I was thinking about that. I was interviewing Jack White once, and I asked him, I go,

does Jack White check email? You know, like, what do you do in your what do you do in your daily life when you're not making music or performing music yeah are you a normal yeah and he said no he doesn't check him right yeah i think he probably has people for that i think the craziest thing is though that we we went to go visit todd you know he's a friend of the show but we had no idea about any of the stuff and then he just drops it on us yeah oh yeah referring to george lucas's george yeah my buddy george yeah i worked on a few of these things and bort knew We had no idea about any of this stuff. And then he just drops it on us. Oh, yeah. Referring to George Lucas as George. Yeah, my buddy George.

Yeah, I worked on a few of these things. And Bort knew all of them, of course. Yeah. Bort was going crazy. But Soundwave and I were like, whoa, what's going on? This is so cool. Well, and Randy told us we were going to come visit you. And he mentioned stuff you'd worked on.

I was like, oh, OK, cool. He didn't mention it was Star Wars detours. I didn't know yeah so that was the project that you're working on yeah while you're up there yeah yeah and i know there was a lot of hype around it about it being released it was announced at a couple cons right yeah and it was all over the place and people were freaking out now we might have just said star wars detours and people have no idea what we're talking about. Right, right.

So what happened with it? Yeah, I mean, it's a really interesting story. It's, you know, it kind of, like I said, I think when, the day I met George, he told me he was retiring. Oh, wow. And he was like, you know, I'm gonna, I wanna do this show, but I'm retiring.

Yeah. And so you guys can have fun. Was it public yet when he told you that? Or he trusted you with that info? no he just mentioned it in my during my interview with him yeah but um but but then two years later he still hadn't retired right at that point done a lot of the show um so anyway so then he he finally did retire and in doing so um appointed kathy kennedy as you know his sort of successor to Lucasfilm. And of course, she's a very prolific film producer

and wanted to take Star Wars and make more Star Wars. So I think the feeling was at that time that it didn't really make sense to put out a show that's sort of a parody of something that you're just about to introduce a new audience to. Yeah. And, you know, and that was even before the sale to Disney. And then once that happened, it was kind of like, you know, they shared that sentiment. Yeah. You know, I think there were some people that were like, oh, yeah, we'd love to show this. So you worked on this project for two years and then it didn't get released?

More like three years. Wow. How's that call go down? Do they call you or are they pulling you in a meeting like, hey, you know that thing you've been working on for three years? Yeah, just not going to put it out. Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. Wow.

They pulled me in a room. So is there stuff done out there? Oh, yeah, yeah. Wow. We have like two seasons worth of the show. pulled me in a room so is there stuff done out there oh yeah yeah there's we have a season like two seasons worth of uh there's this thing called disney plus yeah can we release it like if the whole world is freaking out over an animatronic baby yoda i'm sure we can get on top of this yeah i know and it'd be perfect i've also now's right? I mean, how long has it been shelved? That was 2013.

So yeah, it's like six years. But now it finally has a platform. I mean, who needs like a TV channel? You have a whole streaming service. Well, and when Detours got put on the shelf, that was right when The Clone Wars got put on the shelf. Yeah. And they were able to finish the season for Netflix,

but now they're coming back on Disneyney plus and now's the time everybody and i've noticed also you know the other there's a red-headed stepchild of star wars it's called star wars ewoks and star wars droids the cartoons besides the holiday special obviously but we love it but i've noticed that there's a lot more merchandise coming out for ewoks and droids lately. Disney Plus. I think you need some content here. Yeah. And so what do we got to do, Todd, to get this up on Disney Plus?

Yeah, I know. Well, you know, it's sort of. Who do I need to tweet? I'm going to get ostracized from the business, I think, after this. Enough about Star Wars. I know we can talk about it all day. But you are also part of a huge franchise called Captain Underpants. Yeah, Captain Under what is that all about how do you what do you do with that how how that came to be oh yeah so that's what i'm doing at dreamworks um i'm the supervising producer on that show

got that job um from basically mutual friends and yeah that was like a that was like a great experience because we we were able to do so much, um, on that show that was sort of outside the norm. Um, you know, like with live action filmmaking and puppets and stop motion and, um,

claymation and all sorts of crazy stuff that I've never done on another show like that before. Pretty much kind of like Peewee's a playhouse state, you know, where you got to do a little bit of everything, combine it all and have some fun. Yeah. And we did all that stuff ourselves's Playhouse State, you know, where you got to do a little bit of everything, combine it all, and have some fun. Yeah, and we did all that stuff ourselves, which was great. It was so much fun. Do you know what trips

me out? And please show me one day how to do this. The part I don't understand, and I can't grasp when it comes to animation, is how they would pan the camera. Oh, yeah? How do you even draw that where the camera is panning? You know? Like, do you draw every little frame as it's moving?

It's insane. On the third floor here in this building, we have the Simpsons. And I've seen some storyboards and stuff like that. But I don't see how the panning of the camera going left and right even works. It blows my mind. It's probably super simple for you, but I can't grasp on how that even works. Yeah, I know. It's obviously different from 2D versus CG.

You know, in CG, obviously, it's more like live action. You can point the camera wherever you'd like to. But in 2D, which is what Captain Underpants was, is you just draw the background, you know, much wider than. Yeah. Well, actually, these days, everything's digital, even though it's a 2D show. That stuff's all done in a, you know much wider than yeah well actually these days everything's digital even though it's a 2d show that stuff's all done in a you know digitally you work in entertainment and you know we work in

radio and everything in the back of our mind constantly is um probably this is your last day at work today you know so you're gonna get fired you're gonna get fired every time there's always burning yeah in our brain um and like how do you deal with like keep going is it just like making contacts and just like is that the the main focus just be cool with everybody so when you know gig does end you're able to go on to the next gig i mean yeah that's that's pretty much how it works yeah just networking yeah networking and it's um everybody it's such probably the same in radio works yeah just networking yeah networking and it's um everybody it's such probably the same in radio with everybody knows everybody yeah yeah and um

every time i do a show i work with five or six of the same people i worked with on a previous show um that's awesome when i was here at warner brothers um i did a lego movie here um most of the my crew was ex lucasfilm people yeah um and then at DreamWorks, I've got a few, um, but I, you know, I also have an agent. So I, like, even when, you know, towards the end of Captain Underpants, I was kind of like, I didn't know if I was going to have a job. I was fully planning on not having a job, you know, but they kept me around thankfully, but to do something else, but you're always in that situation. Yeah. You just never know. And you kind of have to plan to not have a job. I plan every day, every day. Like I said,

every time they have like a company meeting, I'm like, Oh, today's the day. It's like, you have like PTSD. Yeah, I know. What about, uh, the first time it, a project ended for you abruptly? Um, how was that? Because I have a lot of younger people in the room who have not gone through the things that we've probably gone through. Yeah. You know, how was that for you for the first time? Were you like super devastated or what? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Because, well, you know, I've worked on some projects where I've actually kind of secretly hoped that they would get a chance. Oh, no. But I've been so extremely fortunate in my career, and I'm so grateful to all the people that I've worked with over the years

because I was able to keep working. And ironically, I had spent close to 20 years doing this, and the Star Wars show was the first time that ever happened to me. Wow. So, and I, but I'd known several people that had happened to, and like the first time it ever happened to me, I go, Oh, that's it. There's my shot. I'm done. It's a wrap. Yeah. What am I going to do now? Yeah. But it came down to just networking and being cool with the people. I like people reached out and said, Hey said hey um we have this opportunity for you to come in and help out like two days a week um late night can you do it I go hell yeah yeah you're like what I'm not gonna get paid for a while that's fine good it's all good I'm willing

to work through it yeah um is there any projects that you're not involved in that you're excited that are gonna be coming out soon of course I'm really looking forward to a lot of the stuff that they're doing at DreamWorks right now. I don't know if I can talk about it. Well, see, that you have to be safer about because you're there. Speaking of DreamWorks, you know, Menace grew up in the Bay. He grew up around all the tech people, all the big companies. This was my first experience going to a big-style campus. Oh, yeah.

He doesn't understand. Oh, my God. Yeah. He doesn't understand. Oh my God. Yeah. He doesn't understand like, yeah, a lot of tech companies and entertainment companies, the, the free food that you get.

Oh yeah. That, that alone blew me away. Free food every day. We're lucky if we get, I mean, we used to get breakfast burritos, but then I guess they,

they decided we weren't worthy of breakfast burritos. So we got brought down to bagels. Hey, at least you get bagels, man. I know, but I'm just saying it was really cool going and just seeing how the company takes care of its employees. It's a nice life if you can get it. I took them to Netflix to see one of our friends,

Gabriel Iglesias. He has a show called Mr. Iglesias. And, dude, the food spread. Wasn't I walking around the place like I work there? I'm all, dude, just open the fridge, grab a drink. You're like, dude, do you spread. Wasn't I walking around the place like I worked there? Oh, my God. I'm all, dude, just open the fridge, grab a drink. You're like, dude, do you see this? Yeah.

you know, they have a sound library of all the sound effects that Chewbacca makes which are all like bears and seals and things like that. Right.

But on the show, we kind of needed him to like do funny bits and basically act. So I just was going like on the mic in the edit going, and we got to the mix stage they couldn't recreate

my performances yeah so i had to like get taft hartley into sag no way and then and then i was able to do many many voices on the show if you need a group of barking seals for the next cat pants episode that's our chicken thing guys guys.
