Episode Date: April 8, 2020

On this weeks Whats New Pod we talk Quarantine Food, Virus Conspiracy People, Lost jobs, Ghosts 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 Bort, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and on AFN military network around the world. He is joined by Eric E. Soundwave, aka Nick, who is his assistant and works at Fox Sports. He loves talking sports.

We have Randy, who's a radio DJ himself on Alt 98.7 in Los Angeles, and he works on the Woody Show. We have special guest, the man who told us this week that he does 15 push-ups at his house each day, which I have to get into. Tyler, what is up,

Tyler? Yo, what is up? Dude, Tyler, you remember that conversation, right? Tyler said that he's doing 15 push-ups. Yeah, I called BS on that. I did it one day. Don't you have that video of him attempting to do a push-up and he's like all slanted? Yeah, his arm is at the wrong angle almost.

And what was his excuse? Like, when I was a kid, I messed up my elbow and I just, I've never, I've never fixed it since or something like that. We had that video at What's New Pod on Instagram. But what he told us

that he did 15 pushups. I'm like, no way. Yesterday, I actually did my first yoga session. It was very interesting. What? But hold on,

let's get to the 15 pushups. Okay. Cause I'm doing, I'm doing pushups every day. Way to try to divert the attention. Yeah. Okay. Yoga. Okay. divert the attention. Yeah, okay, yoga, okay, whatever, you sat down. There's nothing worse. Okay, did you or did you not do 15 push-ups? I did

do the 15 push-ups that one day, yes. In a row? In a row, yes. I don't believe it. Oh, well, I'm sorry. I want you to video record yourself doing 15 push-ups, and I'll send you 50 bucks. Okay, I'll see what I can do. Wait, hold on. Oh, yeah, see that? The confidence just is 50 bucks. I'll see what I can do. Wait, hold on. Oh, yeah, see that? The confidence just is gone now.

Can we put a time limit on this? I'll see what I can do. Now I know about your scrutiny. I don't know if I can do this now. It's going to be all edited. Like, it's going to be him starting to go down. Just down. I can tell if it's edited or not.

The background lighting keeps on changing because he's trying to do it all day long. I was telling Menace before this that my brother did tell me i look a little bit skinnier so i was like okay all right we're on but then but then you said that what did you say right before that though oh he said i need artificial nutrients what does that that's what it was i need those artificial nutrients pumped into my veins dude all those uh all the stuff that they put into twinkies like preservatives and all that stuff i need that in

my veins man you're doing everything you shouldn't be doing right now no but that's the thing i haven't had any twinkies i've only been out to eat fast food just once like i'm actually doing pretty good i'm doing okay any dude i haven't had any twinkies for a day i've had any twinkies for a while yeah those family meal packs that they're doing everywhere are pretty large. What's the big family box at Pizza Hut? Dude, get one of those. Dude, they have that. Chick-fil-A is doing a family pack. Denny's is doing a family pack.

These are massive meals. Tyler's tried them all. Tyler, do you have health care? I do. I have health care. I'm good. I'm good. I have a doctor on standby.

I know people who are nurses. My brother is studying to be a nurse. He will be on standby. We'll be okay. As long as we have an ambulance set up. And your brother never walks over to you and looks at you and is like, hey, man, don't do that. Just stop.

He does once in a while. I do want to continue this discussion about food in a second, but I just want to shout out that we recorded another podcast, our other project called Tailgater Sports, and you can check it out at tailgatersports.com. And I'm just going to tell you right now, it was a little rough for our very first podcast. It was a little bit difficult to get into a flow because this is the setup.

This is not the Menace Sports podcast. I kind of put this together for Randy and Tyler and Eric, and I think Eric did a good job but oh yeah hey randy it's a tough thing to do to take an endeavor on when you literally can't look at each other you know and something with as many people and voices that we have you know there's obviously a flow and rhythm here on what's new but when you start a new podcast new flow new segments new ideas i think it went off as well as it could have for a first try at five different houses. Randy and Tyler

just weren't awake. There was no passion. Randy brought up a good point, though. I explained kind of what Eric said right now, is that it's really hard to do a new podcast without seeing each other, and then Randy brought up the point where he's like, dude, you play Xbox with me every other day, and we go off of each

other normally. That's how it works i was participating tell him he just sat there quietly i get heated during sports talks man so yeah because did you really where was that i i will bring it the next episode i promise tyler contradicts himself constantly the problem with tyler is whenever even when you're directly addressing Tyler, it's like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Tyler. We were on a phone call with him, talking directly to him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, guys.

What's the pause, bro? Is the brain not on yet? What's going on here? I woke up 20 minutes before that phone call. Do not come at me like that. Hey, Tyler, you got it? Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I got it. And we recorded at noon, bro. Figure it out.

Yeah. But no, it was just a little rough. If you want to hear it, just go to tailgatersports.com. We promise we're going to bring it next time. Also, follow us on Instagram at tailgatersports on Instagram. How's that going so far? Looks pretty good.

I mean, from the post, we're all kind of like talking to the group chat. Like, hey, I'm going to post this. I'm going to post that. Tyler kind of had a fail the other day, but that's okay. It's always great the randomness of which one will pop off with a random argument in the comment section. Yes, I love it. I love it.

It's great. All right. So again, check it out, tailgatersports.com. If you want to hear that, also follow us on Instagram. Oh, guys, you know what I need to do real quick is shout out Blue Chew. What's up to Blue Chew? BlueChew.com. Promo code Woody.

I know a lot of people have been enjoying Blue Chew. A lot of listeners shouting it out. Of course, Seabass always promoting it. Check out bluechew.com if you, you know, if you want a little like, you know, enhancement when you're in the bedroom, check out bluechew.com, promo code Woody. Yeah, man, y'all are hanging at home. And if you live at home like Randy, it comes in a discreet package. Your mom will never find it. True, true. Getting back to food. Yeah. I want to know since that you've been stuck in the house,

do you have any quick recipes or what have you just been eating in general the most? And I'll start off real quick. I follow food beast on Instagram. Everybody should follow them. They're really cool. And they support the Woody show. They had this awesome pancake idea where you just take a banana and an egg and you mix it together and you make a pancake out of that. I find myself making the most is quesadillas.

Quesadillas all day. Super easy, super quick, delicious. I can second that. I have made a ton of quesadillas while I've been out. So is that your number one? It's not my number one. I've been making a lot of pancakes lately. I mean, that's pretty simple.

But I mean, I've just been. Yeah, you're going to come out ripped, bro. But you're making pancakes. Hey, bro. What're making pancakes come on if the rock could eat mega pancakes and look super ripped then I could do it as well okay he does that one day a week and he works out every single day and he's the rock like four hours yeah he's got a 24-hour fitness sized home gym at home you think he you think he's eating pancakes every day he has maybe like one mini pancake a day Who knows I live in a apartment with three other people? So it's kind of hard to get really get in there during the day and like really make spreads

But I've been eating a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Just cuz they're so quick man, you know, like I'm like, okay. I'm hungry now. I'll eat that all day long Do you ever make the three stack peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude That's just like really creative. Yep, too, dude. That's when you're getting really creative. Yep. Two on top of each other. Or you have an odd number of bread left. Yeah.

So you're like, okay, just throw a middle layer in there. Make a Big Mac PB&J, basically. All right, Bort, what's on your list? What are you making? Dude, I'm staying to my same diet, man. Freezer food, microwave, just mini burritos. And my veggie chicken patties with some guac on it. Why do I think that Brett's

setup is always like something you would find at a gas station? Dude, I'm simple. It's like I'll eat the same damn thing every day and if it works in a microwave that's perfect. Dude, I would totally do that too. I am convinced that one day we are just going to open up Brett and his bloodline is going to be nothing

but sludge. Hey, it'll still be better than yours, jackass. Yeah. Dude, you know what I think is coming out the most is conspiracy theorists. They're out of control right now. Did you see that guy who was trying to run the train into the ship? Yeah, I saw that. I did see that, yeah.

He's not playing it very well because the train was train into the ship. Yeah, I saw that. I did see that, yeah. He's not playing it very well, because the train was nowhere near the ship. Oh, yeah, it was hundreds of yards away. And by the way, that's Randy's dog barking in the background, not mine. But, dude, and then we had, like, this crazy guy from Albuquerque that was blowing up the Woody show social media, saying that

we're giving out misinformation. People are losing their minds right now. I just want to stay in the house. It always, it always makes me laugh how people in the middle of nowhere have all have it all figured out. Like, I know what's going on in Los Angeles. I know what's happened in New York, but I live in the middle of nowhere for that exact reason. Yeah. But then look at the guy who tried to run the train into the boat, man. Like he he's in a city, like he's not in the middle of nowhere coming up with these conspiracies.

He's like, there's something going on. Do you know what's crazy? Is that guy, he was a train conductor for like 20 years and then just decided, you know what? I'm going to try to run this train into the ship because there's crazy virus stuff going on. Not to be on his side,

but you got to admit, man, boat showing up and what it's supposed to be for a little coincidental, a little weird, you know, like there's something off about it. I'm not saying I'm on your side. It would run a train into it,

but there's something off about it. I'm trying to think what you're implying. Well, cause like all of a sudden this battleship shows up and it's like, Hey man, we've retrofitted it into a pretty much a hospital overnight and we have it all marked, but we're really not letting anybody on there.

It has beds for like hundreds of people and there's only like what, like 10 people on there. It's just like all these other things that are not really adding up. There's a lot of stuff in the news that's not adding up. I'm not saying like it's some ultimate plan

that somebody has, but like it just seems like a lot of distractions. I'm telling you right now, this stuff is going to last until November. Maybe. Maybe, I'm telling you right now, this stuff is going to last until November. Maybe. Maybe, I'm telling you it is. It's going to last until November. All the weirdness, everything, all the way up until November, dude.

My thing, I got into an argument today with someone on Instagram who said something along the lines of all this is fear mongering. I'll have you guys know the hospitals in the two cities you used as an example were Downey and Whittier. hospitals are downey and whittier their their room their emergency rooms are mg this is all a bunch of fear-mongering and then i responded to him i'm like well that just means that the social distancing is working dummy like what do you like do everyone needs to be full

up with patients on the brink of death but no it's exactly what i said on the woody show though there's no win because people will say, oh, well, it was totally fake and all this drama and then no one dies, which is cool. Or there's people dying like crazy and it's real. There's no win. People are just going to go crazy over this.

It just sucks, man, because there's a lot of media places that are coming out and everything that we have shared is actual stuff that we're putting out just to try to help people, try to keep people safe and stuff on the woody show but there's a lot of different media outlets that are posting videos and saying and this has been proven online they go hey this is a new york er right now how bad it is it's like well that was actually footage from italy two weeks ago so i understand that when people are like look they're spreading fear it's just like news outlets please just use real footage.

Calm down. I know. If it's not busy, then just say, hey, man, it's great. It's not busy, but let's keep it up so that no one goes. That should be a good thing. Yeah, exactly. Stop trying to get views just to keep your, you know, it's just dumb. It's just so dumb.

I'm not really buying into anything. I don't really buy into any information either way. I'm just kind of waiting it out. I don't, I don't even turn my TV on anymore guys i'm not even kidding i haven't turned my tv on like two days yeah you honestly don't even learn anything new so it's like i really and then anything i look into online has an uh like equal to or lesser like you know as amount of replies pushing me the other way and saying well this is why that's wrong and then i read into that and then there's counterpoints there so just like just tell me when I can go back outside. I really don't care.

So I made the statement. I think this is going to last until November and maybe that's like a prediction or something like that. But have you ever had a psychic moment ever in your life? Now, I'll tell you why I'm bringing this up. The past two times there has been earthquakes in Los Angeles. I have thought about earthquakes that morning. And then there's an earthquake later that day. Has that ever happened to you? Anything like that? I've had a lot of deja vu moments.

I haven't had this happen in a while, but a couple of years back for about a year straight, like I would be asleep and I would just be dreaming something simple like, oh, I dreamt that I was taking out the trash, right? And so I like later that day, I wouldt that I was taking out the trash, right? And so I like later that day I would go outside and actually take out the trash and then I'd automatically think of the dream I had I said I was wearing the exact same shorts in my dream I was wearing the exact same shoes like I said the exact same thing. I don't know what's happening. It's really weird No, I'm sorry, dude. I'm

Giving more room I'm freaking out right now. This dying. I had to mute myself to give him more room. I'm freaking out right now. That was the... What? No, no. Dude, I totally get it. Eric, believe it or not, I totally get what he's saying. Okay, cool, cool, cool.

He walked like 75... He got nowhere in that story. What do you mean? He said that he had a dream. He had a dream about him. He dreams about doing chores, and then he does chores and has a premonition. He wears the same outfit every day. He has five

shirts and he dreams about taking out the chores or doing the chores in one of his five shirts. That's like me dreaming about going to work. Menace, guess what I'm saying? That's all I mean. And then with the earthquake thing, I understand there's earthquakes every day. Blah, blah, blah. But I with the earthquake thing, I understand there's earthquakes every day, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But I had a similar thing, but it's a lot more elaborate than just taking out the trash. There was one day where I had a dream and I remember it perfectly. And the dream was I went to school and it was like my sculpture class because I went to art school. And they take us down in the basement and it like smells really bad and I start feeling sick, right? And then later on in the dream, I leave school and I go to work at this TV station that I was working with and I walk into the office and my coworker's wearing some certain jacket and he turns to me and he goes, my girlfriend is pregnant. I wake up that day. I remember my dream, go to school. They take us down to the basement for my sculpting class. I go, okay, that's kind of weird. It smells terrible. I started

feeling kind of sick. I go to work that day. My coworker is sitting in the office. He's wearing the jacket like in the dream. And I go, dude, I had this super weird dream last night that you told me that your girlfriend is pregnant. His eyes got so effing big because he goes, dude, I haven't told anybody that my girlfriend is pregnant. I've never even met his girlfriend. So that was like the weirdest thing that's ever

happened to me. See, Menace gets it. No, no. Okay. Hold on. Yours actually seems like more of an actual like psychic prediction or maybe intuition, something like fed in. And I could actually see like a prediction like that being fed through a dream. Like that happens to people a lot.

Tyler, on the other hand, predicting that he was going to go to the trash and wear a t-shirt. I'm just saying, man. I'm just saying. Oh, did you wear shoes too, man? What kind of pants did you wear? Were they blue jeans? One time I was barefoot.

Didn't think about the time. And then I was outside. I was like, oh my God. Eric, Bort, anything? Nothing outside of like deja vu, man. I mean, weird dreams, I guess. But nothing like predicting the future or anything. I'm oblivious to those sorts of things.

Even if something did happen, I don't know. Randy's getting the lotto numbers every day just before he wakes up i know memory of it every day you'd be a millionaire uh yeah i i don't know if i've necessarily had like psychic moments or predicted the future i get intuitions though like about going places or not going places or leaving like a little later than i should and then i find out there's a car pile up on the freeway, which could all be circumstantial. You guys know the only thing that I have is ghostly spirits and paranormal stuff that I see and deal with.

That's all I got. Tyler, inform us of some of your ghost stories, please. Yeah, do you have any ghost stories? I have no ghost stories to report. You don't? Dude, I do not. Except for this time where he like kind of maybe saw a ghost and he wants to talk about it for like five minutes

and not really bring anything to it. Dude, I had this dream that I had to take out the trash and there was a ghost there. There was a ghost and he had no pants on. He didn't have shoes either. But I was wearing the same t-shirt I wore the next day. I think it happened. And the ghost, I mean, my neighbor, Tyler Tyler could be like Puxatoni Phil, walk outside

and see his shadow and be like, oh my God, guys. I have one ghost story. And the ghost story is I was working overnight at a radio station. It was completely, yeah, completely empty. And I was walking by the radio studio and out of the corner of my eye, I saw old man standing by the microphone. I turned back and I go, oh, that's not right. No one's supposed to be in here.

I look and no one's there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I want to go home. I totally believe. And I've had that when I'm like driving places. I'll see someone on the corner, look away, and then they're gone. Arms that disappear out of a doorway. You know, there's no one in the building or just other random ass stuff.

Dude, when you see that, your brain goes through initial like freak out mode like okay was that person here where is he let me look everywhere in golden gate park it's supposed to be super haunted in san francisco and we used to do this initiation thing with our street team where every time there was a new member we would go to golden gate park at 3 a.m. and we'll go look at this statue. And the statue has nothing written on it. And this is lady with two kids. And between the witching hours, between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., the statue is supposed to move when you look at it. I was taken out there for my initiation and I swear I thought I saw that statue move and I ran so fast and got back into the vehicle and left. But yeah, I think I was just so scared that I thought I saw it move.

But then also in Golden Gate Park is the ghost police cop where he's like from the 1950s and he pulls people over. Look it up. Okay, I'd be down for that. That sounds pretty cool. You'd be down? Dude, there's a... The ghost police cop? That sounds cool.

So there's a... Where we live in Los Angeles, there's a pass called Laurel Canyon that goes all the way to Hollywood and downtown LA. And there's a street that goes up to a place called Lookout Mountain, aka Gravity Hill. A bunch of weird stuff happens there.

And this has been reported by multiple people, including celebrities, that in the middle of the night, randomly, a stagecoach, an actual stagecoach, will come down the hill

and just disappear into the mountain. Yep. Nah, I'm good. Yeah, i don't want to honestly i don't want to see any of that stuff dude i don't want any of it when you actually see little things and this is probably a conversation for another time when you see little things move you're like okay i'm gonna discredit that but when you actually see real things you're like this is gonna f me up for a long time and like my biggest spiritual encounter to this day still freaks me out like just because of how real it was you know do you think we might be just drunk no i think tyler just okay no i didn't do nothing um yeah this is another question i wanted to ask what are you drinking these days while

you're in quarantine uh lots of PBR. Lots of PBR. So Bort gave me a bottle of Rosé, the Hello Kitty Rosé. I drank the entire bottle to myself. Yeah, man. We've noticed you've been drinking a lot or at least a lot more than you usually do. Because I was like, I need to open the fridge up. I need some space. And then so I was like, I'm just going to start drinking this stuff. So I that and like some type of white claw type drink and then i had another pbr seltzer i drank all that last night to myself dude i was pretty twisted did you down that that little canteen of stillhouse that you that you sent us a few uh it was like a week ago or something no you can't do that that stillhouse stuff you gotta sip that yeah man i still have one still house canteen that's i

think i've had it for a few months man and i've gone through bottles of jack daniels but i'm still making it through the still house yeah i know eric's drinking what are you drinking well yeah i mean on top of the usual beers and you know the the seltzers you want to know what's out of the ordinarily in my fridge right now that i've been drinking the last couple days. Kool-Aid bursts. The little plastic bottles. The little plastic juices. That's what my mom picked that up for me the other day and I've been drinking them all week. Are you mixing it with vodka or something?

No, just drinking the juice. Oh my god. But I mean, because it's on top of, like, there's nothing new. What do you want me to tell you? I'm drinking my Modelo's, like, okay, yeah, it's not new or exciting or anything. No, I was just wondering if you were mixing it with something. No, no, just drinking my Modelo's like okay. Yeah, it's not new or exciting anything. No, I was just wondering if you're mixing it with something No, no, just drinking my juice Eric more sober

Cuz I'm saying like what do you guys want me to say? I've been drinking my Modelo's like that's not new or cool or anything So yeah Just stick it but it's weird like Eric and I have shifted because I barely ever drink and I go I just drank a whole Bottle last night. Well, no, I have shifted because I barely ever drink. And I go, I just drank a whole bottle last night. Well, no. Again, I regularly drink. So that is nothing new. So I'm trying to bring more flavor to the conversation, I guess.

I'm not here doing a mixology class like Randy. Sorry. I know. Randy goes on a tangent. Tyler. I've actually been breaking out the whiskey a little bit. I decided I went out and bought a bottle of Jack. I ended up finishing that.

A buddy turned me on to a bottle of Glenn Fittich. I had it for the first time. That was really, really good. That's very good. Let's park this for two seconds. So we've had burgers, pizza, pancakes, a ball of whiskey, and yet you're supposed to come out of this stronger and doing 15 push-ups see I don't believe it right push-ups

You try in this this quarantine, okay, so actually my buddy brought over a bag of meth yesterday Colombian crystal so Tyler you're about to say what you're drinking so whiskey Yeah, pretty much the whiskey other than that also been downing a ton of water. So Tyler you're about to say what you're drinking. So whiskey. Yeah, pretty much the whiskey other than that Also been downing a ton of water. So just water Man no, I swear I swear yourself I sue on the water like I it's something that I was doing when I was going to the gym when I stopped going I kind of got away from it. No, I figured I'm at home Like I might as well just be drinking back like a ton of water.

I mean, it's coming on my tap. Might as well use it. What are you supposed to be doing? I'm supposed to be drinking water. He's like, hey guys, you won't believe this, but I'm drinking water. Yeah, it's crazy. Okay. I'm afraid to ask this, but have you found yourself just wearing random stuff while you're quarantined?

Okay. I've talked about this on the Woody show. I've been wearing my, my night dress a lot lately. If you don't know what that is, I forgot about that. It's like a night shirt that is all the way down to your ankles. And then I just find myself just in underwear and a t-shirt.

It sounds comfortable though. It is. But the only problem is there's no cover on my window. I'm afraid that my neighbors can see me. So that's why I wear the dress a lot more. I hate to ask, but Tyler, what are you wearing? I'm wearing my t-shirt, jeans, backwards hat. Like, you know, my normal stuff.

You're chilling in jeans? I'm not even joking. I'm chilling in jeans right now. In a backwards hat in the house? Yeah. I'm trying to be comfortable. I'm trying to feel normal at home. This is comfortable like a jeans, a backwards hat, and shoes during four weeks. I'm trying to feel normal at home. Like a jeans, a backwards hat, and shoes.

I'm trying to feel normal, okay? This guy is dressed up like a barback at a sports bar. He's like, oh, yeah, I'm comfortable right now. Did you wear that out to the trash can today? I did actually wear that out to the trash can today. Thank you for asking. What about you, Eric? I mean, you have roommates, right?

You can't be all out. Yeah, I mean, so i got your basic uh basketball shorts and hoodie most of the time i'm home but since the quarantine started yeah my not so much what i'm wearing has changed but the rotation of variations have has just gone out the window like i'm so little like laundry my laundry is like non-existent anymore because i'm just wearing the same thing over and over and over again yeah there's no reason to like spruce up you know or go out at night so there's no extra laundry like at all anymore i don't know if this happened to you but i'm so pale right now insanely pale because i'm getting no sun yeah we haven't even really had that much sun anyways so that doesn't help either dude i feel like feel like I'm depleting. No sun. I haven't worked out. Like, I feel like I'm degenerating, man.

I'm not even joking. I ache. I hurt, bro. Like, I'm not even joking or being dramatic. I feel like I'm just getting gross. Yeah, I look sick. See, this is why you don't get fit, man, because one week in quarantine,

you start crumbling. As opposed to me, man, I'm already out of shape. Screw the long play, man. God. Here's a question, though. If you have a gym built into your apartment or wherever you live, are you allowed to use those gyms or are those also shut off?

Shut off. Yep. God, man. You know what I'm going to be really pissed off about, right? So we're having this talk. So you kind of have an idea and you talk to other people. So you think like, oh, it's not just me, at least, right? I'm going to be pissed so mad

if I go back to my gym after quarantine and I'm the only one that looks like a turd after. Like everybody else still stayed in shape somehow. Like how did you still work out? Like you have muscles on muscles still. Like I don't understand this. I'm honestly, I'm kind of going with Eric on that one. But also I've been having two different thoughts

about the gym. Number one, could we be potentially looking I'm kind of going with Eric on that one. But also, I've been having two different thoughts about the gym. Number one, could we be potentially looking at another New Year's resolution situation where we have a massive influx of people wanting to use the gym? Or is there a possibility that some of our favorite gyms are going to shut down because people haven't been going to them and people haven't been paying their memberships or whatever? Well, a lot of those are auto-paying, though, Matt. Yeah, are people still paying? I didn't get charged for 24 this month, I don't think.

Let me check again. I didn't get charged last week, so I'm thinking not. But that'll probably, you know, places like 24 LA, the big name will probably survive. But, you know, some of these small mom and pops ones, yeah, like your random, like all-day fitness on whatever street down the block might close because, you you know if they

can't survive two three months with no gym membership fees yeah i gotta call my buddy to see he's okay he owns a small gym in san jose did see a report on ktla news that people are doing speakeasy gyms no yeah i hate to admit it is it bad that i'm kind of like interested yes interested in going or interesting starting one i'm not sorry i don't have that kind of initiative but i'm definitely interested in going and but it would have to be a legit gym like i'm not gonna pay to go do some like crossfit training in someone's garage like i want to have access like just keep the lights off for dim i like my 24 or something so nobody knows we're there sorry interrupt i'm looking right here

there's some breaking news that the company that owns CJ Maxx and Marshalls and all those other big brands, they're furloughing 286,000 people worldwide. Jesus, that sucks. It's going to get rough, man. I'm telling you, this needs to turn around quickly or it's going to be bad. I mean, I say I would predict massive bailouts because this is unprecedented times, you know? I hate that. I've gotten really exhausted with all these economic experts who are like, this needs to happen, this needs to happen.

Like, nothing needs to happen. We've never experienced anything like this. It doesn't mean that the bills stop. I know, I know. But I'm just saying being able to predict what's going to happen is pointless. It's the same. It's the same. I'll use a sports example.

When Kawhi Leonard was trying to find a new team, everybody knew he was going to the Lakers. Everybody knew. Oh, I've spoken to someone who tells me that they heard from him that he's going to the Lakers. And then he went to a whole nother team. It's the whole basis of this is what's going to happen with the economy. Nobody knows what's going to happen. We've never experienced anything like that. Now, I'm not saying the bills are going

to stop. Of course not. But for all we know, at the end of all this madness, everybody could be bailed out. You know what I mean? So it's like, I don't know. I'm more of an optimist kind of person myself. I like to think that, you know what, there's got to be a silver lining in all this or there's got to be light at the tunnel at the end of the day. But when you hear headlines like that, news like that, it sucks. It's really disappointing. But it's like, I hope, I would hope that something good will happen at the end of all this. But who knows? My thing is we're f***ed for a while.

Yeah. That's my feedback. Well, dude, I mean, it's not like you can say, hey, this stuff has never happened in the lifetime of existence because obviously there's been recessions. There's been depressions. There's been moments where the amount of unemployed people like Randy, if you want to take a time machine or maybe use your psychic abilities, you can go back and see the Great Depression and see the amount of people that were out of work. And, you know, what happened then? All these experts are just trying to give an opinion on what it could do to help, but there's so many factors.

Yeah, it's hard, but here's what you do. You keep busting your ass. You keep trying to save as much money as you can while you're making sure you're all taken care of and just keep going, man, as long as you can to help people. Well, I'm using the governor of Texas. I think he said, I'd rather lose,

some people have lines of, I'd rather die than let the economy just get worse than it is. And it's like, bro, what are you talking about? I'm like, you don't have to die. But the thing is, nobody knows what's going to happen. I think Randy's freaking out right now. I think he's having a shutdown moment.

I'm literally quite the opposite. Are you following any of this? Randy gets caught on buzzwords a little bit. That was what he did right there. He's like, you have to die well he's not honestly saying that randy obviously i believe he is like he's saying that he's gonna try his hardest to not let the economy fail because he's worried about people that's what he's saying man i don't know man texans are a different breed so i could kind of shut up tyler no i just I don't know

man if it continues it's definitely going to be rough for a while. Have you guys like sort of gotten accustomed to the new norm though? No what I'm getting used to and it was still freaking me out is just going out and seeing everybody wearing masks. That is still super weird to me. Yeah that's pretty

that's pretty intense. Especially having to walk around with a mask yourself and you still see security guards kind of look at you weird. But you're like, dude, everyone's wearing masks. Everybody. And it's odd, man. Except for Eric. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I was really waiting. I was like,

no, I'm not wearing a mask. Yeah, yeah. I'm keeping it real. I'm wearing a mask if I go outside. I'm wearing gloves if I go outside. If I get back inside, I'm taking it real. I'm wearing a mask. If I go outside, I'm wearing gloves. If I go outside, if I get back inside, I'm taking everything off. I'm just trying to be super cautious of all this. Have you guys noticed any kind of like weird, quote unquote, essential businesses? Like you drive by like, huh, they're open or, huh, they're essential. I saw a smoke shop put up a written sign that says we have snacks or, you know, so they can stay open

because technically they're selling food. You know, the one thing I'm not going to get used to, man, like of all this stuff, like all the mass, all the everything that I can kind of deal with being in dumb lines to get into a store. The one thing that's hard for me to get used to is to go into a restaurant and not see any tables anymore and you have to get paid to take out it's actually really creepy so i went to go pick up a pizza for my mom so i go into the entrance and there's a full bar oh my god relax there's a full bar seating area um where it's like a pizzeria that's normally there and it's turned into basically a second stock room. They have all their extra stuff in there and all the tables are put away. All the chairs are put away. The lighting

is very dim. It's creepy, man. I don't think I'll ever get used to that. Even our building, like some of the lights are turned off and it's weird, man. Like I have to walk down a hallway and there's no lights at all. Also, another thing that freaks me out is the lining up to go into stores. Because when I was a a kid you would see on the news communist Russia where people would have to line up to get food and it was always a super bad thing when you saw that and now it's happening here which is it just gives me flashbacks to that time where as your kid it was told you this is really bad and now it's happening here it mirrors the Great Depression man that's exactly what they had to do back then and then also people had to go at certain days of the week

that was their day to go that was their day to go get gas it's very very weird very eerie so i saw that randy had to cancel a trip we called them out on our sports podcast again tailgatersports.com don't judge us on the first episode pilot episode episode yeah we called out randy for having an obsession with seattle and apparently you did have a trip planned and you canceled it but you couldn't get your money back what was happening with that now so the airlines i think they maybe they all kind of agreed on what they're how they're going to assess the situation but every single airline that i booked a flight with and in this situation my flight to seattle they sent me an email and they were like, don't worry, Randy.

It's okay. We understand these are tough times. It's difficult for all of us. Your e-credits are going to keep their value. I'm like, I don't want an e-credit. Give me my money back. And I love how they sent an email. They were like, Randy, I know what you're thinking with all the madness going on and the trips kind of being in limbo, don't worry. Your e-credits are going to keep their value. Tyler sent me an article the other day, which completely just complete false hope for me, at least. It was like a federal judge decides that airlines have to refund people money. And so I was like, oh, hell yeah, I can cancel my flight, keep my money back. Nope. Apparently, if the airline cancels your flight or if something happens because of coronavirus,

weather, whatever, they're forced to give you a refund. So either I sit and I wait for the day of my flight to see if it gets canceled or I just bite the bullet and I just take the e-credits. But then it's like, then comes the question of when am I going to use these credits? You'll eventually use them. I know once everything comes back to normal. Wasn't there also news though? I could be wrong though.

Wasn't there also news about how the airlines are saying they might be out of money at the end of the year? Yeah, true. What happens then? What happens if they go out of business? I just have $300 worth of e-credits for a defunct airline. Yep, that's true. Randy, if you did want to double check that article,

I am looking at it right now on the LA Times website. It says the DOT, Department of Transportation, tells airlines to refund canceled flights, but don't count on your cash just yet. So I think the airlines are working on a way to try and still keep your money to reportedly stay afloat. Yeah.

Ah, perfect. Still screwing me over at the end. Just like true airline fashion. All right, guys. Well, I think I'm going to wrap this up for this week. Thank you for listening to What's New Pod. I am Menace. Again, what's up to Bort?

Bort, do you want to say anything before we leave? Yeah, guys. I think I have a problem. You know, we were talking about drinking. I think I've become a basic bitch because I've been drinking the White Claw. Oh, really? Yes.

Welcome to the dark side. I kind of like it. It's whiskey and White Claw. Oh, really? Yes, you've been posting a lot of the White Claw. Welcome to the dark side. I kind of like it. It's whiskey and White Claw. I don't know if it mixes, but it's just going, man. That's dope. Eric? No, nothing, man. I'm bored at home. I need this damn Ronatan, so life's fun again. I'm struggling, man, over here. Randy?

Same, man. I just can't wait till this is over. In the meantime, sit tight. Don't do anything stupid. Stay in your house. Guys, I think we need to wrap this up. Tyler needs to go work out. I just, I can't wait till this is over. In the meantime, you know, sit tight. Don't do anything stupid. Stay in your house. Guys, I think we need to wrap this up. Tyler needs to go work out. I will third that. I will third that real quick, number one. But number two, I've actually rediscovered

my love of board games while I've been stuck in my house. It's actually fun to do with the family. Yeah. Bye, guys. This was a fun podcast. No, no, no. Oh, before I go, real quick, there is a new streaming service that Ravy's been talking about a lot. It's not a sponsor, but it's now available.

It's called Quibi, and they have a ton of TV shows on there. They have Punk'd, which is hosted by Chance the Rapper. They have another TV show on there that I really like hosted by Offset. It's a car show. Freaking rules.

They took out this car that you can buy. It's street legal. That's totally bulletproof. And they shot guns at it. So if you have T-Mobile and you have multiple lines, you can get Quibi for a year for free. And I posted this thing on Twitter. Just go to twitter.com slash menace and it'll tell you how to get it for free. If you don't have T-Mobile, you can get it for free for 90 days before you got to start paying like five bucks a month. But it's really cool. The technology is really weird too, because you can get it for free for 90 days before you got to start paying like five bucks a month but it's really cool the technology is really weird too because you can watch it sideways or you can turn around and watch it vertical which is insane and it looks exactly the same i don't

know how they do it but it rules i think i'm gonna have to check it out and download it i've been seeing a lot of uh ads for it uh especially this one chase slash actiony series a friend of mine got hired at quibi so she's been promoting a lot of it on Instagram. She also promoted this one show on there. I guess they're blowing up food or something? There's a ton of stuff on there. I think I'm going to have to get it and see what it's all about.
