All right.
Hey, guys.
My name is Tyler.
I like going to the beach at night and just reminiscing
Thorne Heights, bro. Okay
I like taking my shoes off from rolling my pants up when the water comes to my toes and just bobbing my head to
Bulls you also
May not you may not know this about me, but I own every single disc that under oath ever put out
You just don't understand me i'm tyler emo cry baby oh don't worry i kept that rolling just for menace oh tyler didn't you go to emo
night yeah dude it's fun what's new what's new with menace
what's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Menace.
I'm joined by Borch, a.k.a. Brett.
He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN.
He has an assistant.
His assistant's name is Eric, but sometimes we call him Nick Soundwave.
Keep up.
Plus, we have Randy, who's a radio DJ himself, and he works on the Woody Show Morning Show.
Plus, a very, very special guest.
His name is Tyler.
What is up, Tyler?
How you doing?
What's up, everybody?
I'm doing pretty good.
How y'all doing?
Good.
We didn't ask how you were doing.
He just asked how I was doing.
I'm sorry that this podcast is delayed.
I've said before, I really don't want to do a podcast unless we have things going
on in our life and we have things to talk about. Just not to, you know, put out a podcast to put
out a podcast. And we've been very busy with the Woody show. The Woody show is on in Canada now.
Petersburg, Ontario, Canada. Yeah, it's on in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia.
And, you know, not too long ago, we launched Las Vegas.
So we've been super, super, super busy behind the scenes with all that.
So it doesn't really give us much time to, you know, actually live our lives and do things.
So we waited until today to record a podcast to let some news happen and some things happen in our life.
But first, we got to kick it off with the recap of the race.
Now, just to let you know, Randy did race Seabass.
And if you listen to this podcast, we didn't have much faith in Randy
when it came to the race of the 100-yard dash.
And if you want to see the video, you can go to our Instagram page
at The Woody Show on Instagram, and then you click on IGTV.
Now, I just want to ask Randyandy randy the day of the race you
seem like irritated i don't know you weren't uh having fun with it you seem upset he wasn't in
the zone he was not focused on it it seemed like i i i don't know i've been getting that a lot
people have been telling me that like i seem more irritated than usual yeah maybe maybe that's just
the thing i don't know it's a morning show You're supposed to be having fun, man. Just have fun with it.
It's not life or death.
Is it because you don't have eyebrows?
I just, I don't know.
I was like, where's fun, jolly old Randy?
I mean, like win or lose,
we're supposed to be having fun with it.
And then, so just to recap, you did lose.
And I think you had to be...
Shocker.
Just to recap, you lost.
Also, I did have a theory like were you upset that
all your boys right here on the podcast weren't supporting you for a win
or are you irritated by that they were ripping on you since the beginning or what no no no no i mean
like i mean like they're always there ripping on me oh god those dogs in the background um i mean
they're always ripping on me so i'm just kind of i'm kind of used to it it was just more like uh i think i was more upset at the distance that like i i felt that i allowed
myself to get pressured into doing a hundred yard versus like a 40 you know and i think that's
primarily where my my anger came from oh my god oh wow we're getting a little sweet yeah we're
getting a little treat of randy's mom in. Also, I was a little upset with that too because, you know,
sometimes we get frustrated with Randy because we feel like he doesn't listen
to our advice, and it goes back to the video games thing.
Like, we told him from the beginning,
if you're going to play my future brother-in-law in video games,
go with what you're good with.
Go with the NHL.
But what did you play?
FIFA.
Then you played Madden, and then you got your ass whooped,
and then finally you played him in
NHL and you won a game and that's our frustration
We're like dude
Just listen to us and that I did get angry too that you didn't speak up and say you know what I want to do
The 40-yard dash which we originally asked for and then you didn't fight them on the hundred yard dash
Situation if it was a 40-yard dash,
do you think you would have still blown out both your hamstrings about 20 yards in?
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe it would have at least looked better, you know?
It would have looked way better.
Yeah, it would have looked a lot better.
They would have been able to see that,
oh, Randy got hurt right off the get-go
instead of me being like 20 seconds behind.
There definitely would have been less room
for you to fall 50 yards behind.
You wouldn't have fallen that far behind because the race isn't that long.
I think,
I think that's the biggest thing too.
I've been taken away as of late.
Um,
just,
I feel like it's,
it's,
it's primarily kind of stemming from,
I don't stand up enough.
Yeah.
It's just,
I just,
I just let people just,
yeah,
speak up.
I guess that's what it is.
And I think it's because I have this like fear inside that my, whatever it is I say
isn't going to be received well, or the reception isn't going to be as good.
And I don't want it to be detrimental to something that could potentially be fun.
Does that make sense?
Does that make sense to anyone?
Slightly, yeah.
Because I think Sal, my future brother-in-law, goes through the same thing too.
He doesn't speak up when he should because he's afraid of what
people might say or disagree with them. But dude, you just got to fight through it. You just got to
give your opinion. And if people don't agree with it, they don't agree with it. Dude, behind the
scenes, I give my opinion on stuff and I get crapped on 90% of the time. I still give my
feelings on what I think should happen. Yeah. I've't think, I've been a big proponent of this
as long as I've known you, man.
And sometimes you speak up for yourself and it really pays off,
but then there's other times where, you know,
you do back down and people ride all over you,
and I don't think that's good for you.
That's going to beat you down and take all the fun out of everything
in the end because you're not going to feel like you have a voice.
And if you did do that 40-yard,
there would have been a chance of you being Seabass.
Yeah, I just...
I don't know why I just allowed myself
to just decide that 100 yards is going to be the distance.
But I did, and I lost by a lot.
So, I mean, hey, I mean, it is what it is.
You know, that was my decision.
That was my own doing,
and this is the result of it, me getting embarrassed.
Yo, what's up with that dog, man?
Dude, this f***ing dog's not even ours.
My mom's dog's sitting in
Parker! Shut the f*** up!
You guys can talk and I'll be right back
You gotta bleep that
So yeah, if you want to see the video of Randy's race

The last podcast I also brought up electric bikes and I
asked everybody, I go, dude, are you seeing electric bike ads like crazy online? Because I
am. And apparently there's a thousand companies that make electric bikes. And the day that we're
recording this, there was some news that broke about electric bikes. Did you see that?
Simon Cowell. Yeah. He like hurt himself, right?
Yeah. Apparently he got this new electric bike and he was riding it in his front driveway and he ate it and he hurt
his back and he's in the hospital right now. My God, how fast is he going? I don't know. Those
things go pretty fast though. I think it's the acceleration that kind of takes people off guard.
I feel like electric bikes now, kind of like Teslas, they just go at the drop of a hat.
Well, also, yeah, with let's say back in the go pads and stuff that ran off gas
You can hear the acceleration with electric stuff
You can't hear it so you don't realize how fast you're taking off from zero to a thousand, you know
That being said would I ride one what I own one? Absolutely. Hell. hell yeah would you get hurt on one yes yeah
probably not not a question it really would just be a matter of time before something happens and
you pull the throttle and you shouldn't pull the throttle there you go I got word that Tyler has
been building stuff lately yeah um I went building I went ahead and I bought a bigger bookshelf. So long story short, I share a room with my brother and my dad decided when I was younger,
hey, your bedroom is going to be my second library.
There are no joke.
I'm looking around right now to make sure I double check.
There's four bookcases in my bedroom filled with nothing but books that all belong to
my dad.
So, and my room is really small.
I have no room for anything.
So usually my stuff is kind of all over the place.
Wait, hold on.
So when we were staying at that place in Palm Springs
and you stayed in the walk-in closet,
you said the walk-in closet was bigger than your house.
I mean, bigger than your room.
Yeah, it was probably about the same size,
bigger than my room.
That was not a joke.
I was being dead serious.
My room is tiny.
And you share with your brother, and there's four bookshelves in there?
Yeah, and there's four bookshelves in there and a bunk bed.
So at some point this week, I decided, hey, you know what?
I'm going to go run down to Target.
I'm going to buy the bigger version of this bookshelf.
I went ahead and bought it.
I put it together.
And I actually have a place to put almost all my stuff.
Because my room is so small, I don't own a whole lot of things.
So it's going to be really weird when I eventually move out and there's nothing.
But all this stuff actually fits on the bookshelf.
And I realized that I totally forgot I have about 250 movies all on Blu-ray.
So I was just like, okay. So
finally got all those stacked up, alphabetical
order, put a bunch of my other stuff on there.
So it looks good. Wait, you're going to hold on to
those Blu-rays? Why don't you just sell them for like
a dollar somewhere? I'll just hold on
to them for right now. Keep them.
Yeah, I'd like, okay.
Movies are
one thing that I actually like to have the hard
copy of. Why? I'm not sure. I like to have the hard copy of. Why?
I'm not sure.
I just like having the hard copy of a movie.
But like video games, I get all that stuff digitally downloaded.
I don't care.
Movies, I don't know.
There's just something.
Okay, calm down.
Movies, there's just something about it where I have to have the hard copy.
I don't know what it is exactly.
I just have to have it.
Disappointing. Going back to the shelf, though, I don't know if you ever heard me on the show say
this. I just want to get rich enough so I never have to build or move any furniture ever again.
Amen. You know, I don't like building furniture and I keep on doing it and it sucks. It is the
worst. Even the most simple things from Ikea upset me.
Like I get mad and it's never-
I hate it.
And I never realized something's messed up
until I'm like five steps ahead of the step I messed up on.
And then you got to take it back apart.
It's the worst.
And people argue about how,
oh, well for them to assemble it,
it's only $40 more or whatever.
But you have to keep in mind
that it's more than just having someone put it together. You got to get it dropped off to your house.
They got to put it in your house. And it's just all that basically cost as much as the item you
already bought. So it's like, what's the point in paying for that? Yeah, or you can get a better
quality item somewhere else, you know, if you're going to spend that much money. And do you know,
what's funny is I did that one time where ikea assembles it for you yeah
and i didn't know this because when you buy it you got to take it to some room and give them your
address and all this kind of crap like that and when they showed up to my house i was all ready
for them to drop off the item i didn't know they assembled the item at your house they don't pre
assemble it somewhere else and then bring it to your house it'd probably fall apart before it
gets there well that also kind of makes sense too because what if they're bringing in a bed
and they build it before they get there how they're going to squeeze it through the doorway
so that that kind of makes well it was just a dresser i figured it was already built and they
would just drop it off and it was done but no they build it and you know what's crazy is when they
come by and they put it together they put it together in like three minutes when it takes me two and a half hours.
Has anybody else bought anything cool lately?
I bought something.
All right.
And this is entirely Brett's fault.
For the second time.
For the second time.
It's not his fault.
I obviously bought it,
but Brett sent me the link to something
pretty early in the morning.
I forgot what time it was. I had just woken up, think and i look at my phone i get a notification from brett
and typically when brett texts me back it's either by some miracle he chooses to text me back to my
ridiculous text messages or he sent me a link to something he knows i like yep and i click on the
link and it sends me to this article about how monopoly has done a collaboration with godzilla
and they released godzilla monopoly oh my god
and so i was like oh well that's i mean that that thing was probably like it was probably like a
flash in the like a flash in the pan sort of thing you know how that's an investment right there yeah
and so i decided to look into it i found it there was three left on amazon and uh i bought one so
i'm now the owner of a godzilla monopoly board. I don't even know how to play Monopoly that much.
I don't really know how to play Monopoly that much.
But it was Godzilla and it was Monopoly.
So I was like, oh, why the hell not?
So now it's in my room.
How do you not know how to play Monopoly?
I don't come from a board game house.
My parents would never play board games with me.
And I never got to do sleepovers.
I never got to go to a friend's house to play board games.
That's not a lie. I promise. I don't know how to play. I don't believe him for a second. All right
Let's switch up something real quick. A lot of people say Randy looks like the rock
Well, not anybody just him but the rock era bought the XFL
What are your guys's thoughts on that tailgater sports comm tailcom, Tailgater Sports Podcast, The Rock buying XFL.
I like it.
I love it.
Awesome.
Not awesome.
What's going on?
Soundwave and Tyler have their own point of views,
primarily based off the sports aspect of it.
My part of where I was impressed was just over the fact
that the XFL only cost $15 million.
And don't get me wrong, I don't have even a million,
but $15 million for a sports league seems pretty cheap.
So that to me was what really surprised me the most.
Well, it's just for the name, right?
I believe he gets the entire league.
Yeah, I believe he's like the owner now.
Yeah, it's only eight teams, and so it's really small.
But at the same time, I brought up the example how back in the early 2000s,
Dana White
bought the UFC for, I think, $2 million, and now it's a billion-dollar empire. I said, if The Rock
plays his cards right, I'm not saying it could be a billion-dollar empire, but he could make a ton
more money than if he decides to sell it down the road. Well, I also brought up the remark that
because Vince McMahon was behind it, and Brett, you can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought that like Vince to me, at least in my mind from the average consumer,
hasn't necessarily been relevant since what, like the early 2000s?
One could argue that.
So like the fact that The Rock bought the XFL, The Rock is as relevant as ever right now.
So to have a face like him associated with the league is a really good step in the right direction, at least for that.
Yeah, I think, well, two things.
Wrestling in general, behind the scenes is notoriously cheap.
Notoriously cheap.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And how are you going to launch something like with music festivals, right?
Music festivals don't make money until their third year.
Like the first two years, they just go all out.
They spend all the money that they can to get the word out about the music festival and then eventually it makes money so you can't launch something like
the xfl nickel and dime behind the scenes you know you have to go all out i'm not saying that's
what happened but i assume because of its wrestling background that it came from that maybe that's
what happened but with the rock you know he has millions upon millions of followers
that he could promote to for free you know so it doesn't cost him any money to promote it's a charm
and yeah he could literally cross it into everything else he owns every movie he has
every tv show he does um i mean he has he has ties with under armor too he has those headphones with
them who for all we know under armor can somehow become the national jerseys or the uh the the official jersey for the xfl i'm sure it will be but i so
i looked it up because i i had the question of the xfl is actually worth 15 million dollars
and it says here that vince terminated all the contracts and partnerships first so this is
essentially just the rights to the ip and probably some physical equipment it's 15 million to buy
them probably another 100 million to get them back up to operations again so it makes sense so that's so that's the money that rock will have in
his couch in cushions his jumanji cash but if somebody could crowdsource a hundred million
dollars i'm sure the rock could do it yeah i'm sure he'll bring in like shareholders and stuff
to help you know expedite the cost and stuff but yeah i mean When was the last time The Rock did something that didn't
pan out the way he wanted to?
If you're a fan of the XFL,
it's at least a stepping stone in the right direction.
The Tooth Fairy, that was it.
That reminds me of some other thing that The Rock is
launching. It's called Athleticon.
It's happening next year,
October 9th and 10th
in Atlanta.
It's a big workout convention convention kind of like fitcon
type thing so like he's branching out everywhere plus he has his alcohol dude the guy is building
a freaking empire man it's awesome and he's jacked imagine being successful and you're just jacked
like dude you're just jacked okay here's a question for all you guys though uh because
i've i've also seen headlines and pictures that he posts on his Instagram and like where it shows him
relaxing and in order for him to relax he has to essentially buy out an entire wing of a
Resort and have like security 24-7 preventing people from you know coming up and just you know bugging him trying to knock on the door
Exactly. So my question to you guys is if you you knew your life was going to be like that,
would you still want to...
Now, don't just say
because of the whole money thing,
but I'm saying like quality of life.
Like, would you still want
to live the life the rock lives
knowing that you're always working?
I'm definitely saying yes
because of the money thing.
Like, your quality of life
is so great
because you can pay
for all that stuff now.
I know, but like,
think about it in the sense
that like he gets no privacy.
There's no...
He can't just be alone.
He gets privacy though because he bought out a tire wing of a resort.
So he buys out the privacy.
But let me put it like this, because we bring up this similar question on The Woody Show all the time.
Would you rather be rich and famous or just rich?
And I'm going to just say I'd rather just be rich and not famous.
But if you're putting it either you live the life that you have
right now or be the rock and you have to be famous and rich. Yeah. I'm going to select the rock's
life. I'm not going to turn down the money because I'm also famous. That's for sure.
So Athleticon is going to happen. And I've been going hard in the paint with the Peloton. I'm
almost going to hit that hundred ride mark that I've been trying to do for a while.
And then I get a free t-shirt.
I'm very excited.
But Spicy Nachos working out as well.
And we've been talking about this.
Dude, trying to find weights is insane right now.
You cannot find anything.
How's the gym going, Eric?
Well, it's been closed.
I mean, since this second little shutdown uh second shutdown in
california um so it was open for about three and a half weeks yeah and like i said i was there every
day we had to do this weird little process you know reserve your time all touchless entering and
stuff like that so like i was going for the month or so it was open but yeah it's been shut down for
probably just about over a month now so it was fun while it lasted i could say that it sucks it's
funny you mentioned weights not being readily available
because I have a buddy whose job,
it's not that he got furloughed.
He works for his dad through an insurance company,
but he's not working right now.
Instead, all of his income has come from reselling weights.
And so what he does is he has this spreadsheet marked down.
What a douche.
And on this spreadsheet,
each day indicates when Big Five, one of the local sporting equipment shops here in LA gets a you know
It's stocked up in different parts around the valley
And so he will go to each store in the morning right when they open he buys weights he buys benches
he buys all those stuff and he resells them through Facebook and through offer up and
Off this entire break alone. He's made a lot of money from what he's been telling me and he doesn't even just do weights he does
like pools and all this stuff and I thought it was interesting because that
bastard because I was a big five yesterday by he's playing the shells and
it's interesting I hate your friend I was like I was like oh good for you but
at the same time as like you son of a bitch you're the reason why I can't find
weights but it's just it's ridiculous because a 25 pound weight i mean but normally what does it
what does it cost like 20 20 bucks 30 bucks for just the weight by itself normally you dropped 65
bucks if you were to buy one right now yeah before i um moved to la i had some like bow flex weights
at my house and i originally bought them for i don't know 300 bucks i see them online right now
for 900 thanks to randy's friend you guys act like i'm getting a cut of this you know what I don't know, $300. I see him online right now for $900.
Thanks to Randy's friend.
You guys act like I'm getting a cut of this.
You know what?
You're almost bragging about how well he's doing.
You're just as guilty.
You're guilty by association.
I'm simply... I mean, I wasn't saying that, but...
Yeah.
Oh, Randy, is there any updates on the game consoles?
Like the price, release dates, what's going on?
So the price is what's really been in the headlines as of late and it's
That it seems they're kind of at a stalemate sort of like a you know
How you watch an old western movie and there'd be the the two Cowboys they'd be standing out and the first one to draw their
Guns shoots the other one you know wins whatever it is. That's kind of what's been going on right now. That's called a duel
That's called a duel
I couldn't think of the word. you and a showdown yeah showdown
showdown and a duel so yeah between xbox and sony and they're right now they're both waiting to see
who's going to pull the trigger first and so it's interesting and it's also kind of comical when you
look at it but as a consumer you can only hope that it's going to end up benefiting us because
we can only hope that one of them releases a ridiculous price point because it always looks
like games are going to cost $70.
It's really at this point, like I said, just a duel.
They're trying to see who's going to pull the trigger first.
And then from there, they're going to follow up with their response.
I don't understand why they haven't started pre-sales.
They can just do what Tesla's done with the Cybertruck.
And be like, hey, put $100 down.
Get your pre-order ready.
And then we'll tell you what the price will be eventually well
the time right now is is so is so strange too because the pandemic's going on people don't
have money and people don't have jobs and now they're like hey guys we're gonna release this
console god knows how much it's gonna cost and at the same time you have your current consoles
your current generation and you have companies still releasing games like it's wildly rumored
that a new call duty game is coming to us in October.
Well, because here's the thing, man.
If they're almost done with those games, though,
those developers need money,
and they need to sell those games.
And the thing with announcing
how much the new Xbox or new PlayStation is going to be
depends on one major thing.
If they actually launch on time,
is if they have games.
And they need to have games,
because how many times did you see a game system come out,
and they didn't have really many games?
I remember getting the GameCube from Nintendo and there was three games out.
There was Rogue Squadron from Star Wars,
Luigi's Mansion,
and Smash Bros.
And those were the three games
that made it sell really well.
But if you don't have any good starting titles,
people are going to be like,
why am I buying this for $600?
And make sure they got them.
Good point.
Have you guys been watching anything new lately?
I just watched the, an American pickle by Seth Rogen's movie on HBO max.
You guys watching thing?
Good.
I really enjoyed the film.
It's cool for like an original movie, you know, available that you don't have to pay
for other than having HBO max.
So I'm glad you asked the question.
Yes.
Because last night I watched a pretty cool documentary
that my girlfriend Gia recommended to me.
Oh dear Lord.
So I, to be honest, you guys already know this.
I don't really watch a whole lot of movies or documentaries.
I spend the majority, if not all my time is playing games.
So last night I was in the mood to watch something.
So I texted her, I'm like, hey, give me a recommendation.
She found something on Hulu and the documentary is called Pigeon Kings.
Oh my God. And so Pigeon Kings is essentially a documentary about the subculture of men in
South Central Los Angeles devoted to the phenomenon, which is, uh, well, how do I like
barrel pigeons? So basically what it is is they're rumblers. And so it's just, it's a breed of pigeon called the Birmingham, uh, tumbler, I believe are,
they call them flipping pigeons too. Yeah. Right. Flipping pigeons. And so what it is,
is there's these competitions where you let your pigeons up into the air and they all do these
flips, like they're doing like barrel rolls in the air and that's how you count them for points.
And apparently it's a really big thing in South central Los Angeles where people, I swear to God, man,
look this up. I swear to you. Yeah. So there was a documentary that came out years ago too,
about Mike Tyson and Mike Tyson really got into it. That's why, you know, you see a lot of pigeon
references with Mike Tyson because I'm trying to remember when this documentary came out and had
to come out at least like, I don't know, 12, 13 years ago. And a big portion of the documentary is him and these pigeons. And so the flipping
pigeons also, they get released when allegedly when the police come by, they will release the
pigeons into the air and the people will clap and then the pigeons will start flipping. And then
that's just to notify everybody in the area that police are nearby.
And so I found the T-shirt because I sent a screenshot of it to Tyler.
Their group, their club is called the South Central Rollers because the pigeon breed is
called the Birmingham Roller.
And so, like I said, the points are tallied up by the rotations in which your pigeons
do in the air.
Like they're doing these cool little flips.
And the documentary is interesting because these guys in south central who essentially have devoted
the majority of their lives to doing pigeons and they're like you have these guys talking and
they're like i look every woman i'm with i tell her look the pigeons have been here before you
and they're gonna be here after you and it's crazy because then they go into detail about
their problems with you know hawks and how one of them got arrested by the wildlife service because he killed a hawk.
And it's a very interesting one.
I really want a shirt, the South Central Roller shirt I'll send to you guys.
And I think I might make the trek down to a competition one day just to watch.
Join.
Maybe make it out to an auction and pick myself up a Birmingham roller.
I know it sounds all weird, but it's a thing.
It's been a thing for a long time anybody else watch anything recently oh dude i um i checked out
muppets now on disney plus the new muppet show i'm actually liking it it's pretty fun yeah i'm
in on it man it feels like the old muppet show where you know it would be a stage show kind of
style celebrities would pop in they would have different skits not like the newer weird muppet show that they did on ABC a few years ago, but it's like that, but they modernized
it. So they're all doing like a web show. They're uploading the show onto their streaming service
with different clips and different celebrities pop in. Like Danny Trejo was on the last episode
and it's just kind of goofy and fun. And it feels like the episodes are a little short. They're
like 22 minutes. So it kind of leaves you wanting more at the end of each episode.
It's fun.
I like it.
Because, you know, the Muppet stuff,
they haven't had a good track record
in the past couple of years.
But this has been getting good reviews.
So, you know, if it has your stamp of approval,
I know you're pretty critical on that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Like if something doesn't feel as good as it used to
or look as good as it used to,
I'm going to probably dog on it
until the day it ends or gets burned to death, you know,
somehow.
But no, this feels just like the OG Muppet Show and I'm really liking it, man.
So if you like the OG Muppets growing up, I mean, you know, the Kermit voice is still
the Kermit voice, but a lot of the other voices sound pretty much on par.
So it's dope.
That's cool.
All right.
Anybody else?
Yeah, I actually saw a movie and I saw a new show that I found on
Netflix. So the movie, I know it's been promoted a little bit because I've seen a bunch of ads for
it before it came out. I got around to seeing that Palm Springs movie on Hulu, the new one with Andy
Sandberg. It was actually really good. Definitely did not go the way I thought it was going to go.
I really enjoyed it. So I give that one a thumbs
up to anyone who wants to see it. And for Netflix, I was scrolling through trying to find something
new to watch something I haven't noticed. And I came across this show called into the night.
And it's only one season so far. They have a second season coming and there's only six episodes.
So it's really easy to get through, but it's about this guy who runs into
the brussels airport in belgium hijacks a plane forces the pilot to take off in the middle of the
night and once the pilot finally asks like what the hell was that for he tells him that the sun
when it rises it's basically killing people something about like the solar rays or something
like that it's killing people as soon as it shows up and the story is basically them flying around the world trying to stop refuel
gather supplies all before the sun's come up before because if the sun comes up they all die
so it's kind of interesting it's a interesting little plot but it was how do they keep that
going so they fly like the first part of it is they fly from Belgium to,
I think they landed in an Air Force base in Scotland,
and it's pretty much deserted,
but they happen to find a fuel truck that has like a little bit of fuel
that gets them to like their next destination.
And the whole goal is, at least for the first season,
the whole goal is to land at your next destination before the sun rises.
This is such a Tyler show.
It was decent though. It was decent. I enjoyed it with a plane. to land at your next destination before the sun rises this is such a tyler show this is it was
i'm like it was decent though this is it was decent i forgot the plane is powered by love
so that is not true that is powered by gas oh no i i thought it was interesting definitely a tyler
show because you know tyler's obsession on top of many obsessions he has is the the airplane obsession. So I'm sure you love it and it
Randy's right. It does sound like something 24 ish
But I understand why it's only six episodes because how do you keep that going?
Well, I think it was six episodes because I've noticed a lot with new shows especially once I show up on streaming services series
Yeah, it's a pilot series
They usually six episodes is a test run,
but it did really well
because they've already ordered a second season.
And like I said, each episode,
I think the first one is an hour
and the last five are all 40 minutes.
So you could get through this in an afternoon,
but it's decent.
It's sure it's got a little plot holes here and there,
but I mean, it's good.
I liked it.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It kept my attention for an afternoon.
So I was like,, alright, you know,
let's see what season two has to come up.
So, Eric, what have you been watching? Oh, God.
Hey, man, sports are back. You know what I'm watching.
I haven't watched anything new, anything streamed,
any movies. It's 9 a.m.
to 10 p.m. Pacific.
All sports all the time now. Are you happy with
the product or no? I mean, yeah,
for the most part. It was a little sloppy maybe that first
week, but yeah, dude, I literally wake up,
I turn on the TV most of the time,
I can catch a morning basketball game
or a morning baseball game.
It flows right into my hockey for the night.
I'm living golden life right now.
I've been watching some basketball.
I'm enjoying it.
The Lakers have been on a little losing streak lately though.
Yeah, they're not playing too well.
And then, so it's typical
kind of stuff at this time of year. They start
questioning LeBron and then he turns on playoff mode
and it's just... Any ideas on who's going to
be the final two? I'm going to go ahead and throw
in the Bucs as one of the finalists.
And I don't know. I'm not
confident enough on basketball as far as the West
goes because... Yeah, I'd probably say the Clippers.
The Clippers are deeper than the Lakers
and they just, I don't know. Kawhi is Kawhi and LeBron, I don't know. I think the Clippers Clippers are deeper than the Lakers and they just I don't know Kawhi is Kawhi and I don't know
I think the Clippers will probably win it in the West and the East is so wide open
You can have somebody just pop off and like the Celtics win or the heat even I've been playing really hot
So, I mean the the sexy pick is Giannis and the Bucks because he's like the probably gonna be the MVP
But um, yeah, I could be the Clippers.
I mean, it wouldn't surprise many people if it was the Clippers, that's for sure.
Clippers, Raptors.
I'm going to put Rockets, Bucs, final.
You're a lunatic. No way.
Yeah, you're insane.
The Rockets are not making it right.
All right, I'm sure you'll talk about it more
at tailgatersports.com,
tailgatersportspodcast.
Follow them on Instagram at tailgater sports.
Speaking of sports,
the Woody show,
we have teamed up with this new charity app.
It's called fan Vester.
That's fan V E S T E R.
And Justin Turner is doing a lot on it.
He is from the Dodgers.
If you don't know,
and he has a foundation to help a bunch of families.
And you can get a ticket on this app for a virtual hangout with Justin Turner. So if you download the app right now, FanVestor, you can get a ticket to be a part of this. It's going to be really cool.
Are you a big Justin Turner fan, Eric? I mean, I have his bobblehead up in the studio. So I mean,
I would say I'm I wouldn't say I'm not a Justin Turner fan, that's for sure. And you know,
he's a stud on the Dodgers he was kind of a steal because you know
he got DFA'd by the Mets we kind of picked him up and he has hadn't had a second coming in the
Dodgers a lot of key moments for the Dodgers and their last and like you know their recent success
so I would say I was a Turner fan yeah Randy hit me up and he said that he was thinking about
getting something on Goldbelly goldbellyy.com because, you know, Randy, like me,
loves spending money. And I, it's so, it's funny because I just ordered something on Goldbelly.
They're not a sponsor by the way, but it's, you can get different food items from different
regions across the country. And I got this new sweet and spicy chicken from New York,
just mailed to me yesterday and I had it and it was delicious. What was the food
item that you were asking about, Randy? Dabbled with food with Gold Belly before,
but I didn't pull the trigger because I didn't know. So I figured I would ask you guys because
my girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I decided I wanted to order two pizzas from
Lou Malnati's. So Lou Malnati's pizzas are going to be coming to my place and I'm going to make
them and I'm going to give them to her. her because two years ago we went to Chicago actually around this time of year
for radio convention thing and because I was so cheap, I refused to mail pizzas home to
my house. So instead I went to Lou Malnati's, bought one, shoved it into my suitcase and
brought it back to Los Angeles to reheat. That pizza didn't taste as good as I had hoped
it was going to
you didn't tell everybody the story that you got busted at the airport with the pizza
that was a great tsa god so embarrassing so i'm at t i'm on tsa right and she she decides to open up
my luggage because she sees there's a weird object in there and she opens it up and she sees the
shirt and the shirt's soaked in marinara sauce it It's like red. And so she's looking at it
and I'm like, and I'm like, if you're a TSA agent, you know, you probably already, you're not the
biggest fan of life. You know, your job isn't, isn't, can be rough around the edges sometimes.
So you see this and you're like, what the hell is this? And she opens it up and it's a box of pizza,
Lou Malnati's pizza. And it's like all soaked and it's all, it's all wrinkled. And she looks at me
and she's like, is this supposed to be in here? And I was like, yeah, I'm taking that home with me. And so she puts it back in there and then
I have to zip it back up. But I got a whole line of people behind me just staring at me like,
what's that weirdo doing with that pizza in the suitcase? So yeah, moral of the story here is
don't be a cheap ass and order your Lou Manotti's pizza off of Gold Belly. Has your girlfriend had
this type of pizza before? No, because by the time I brought it back to her place from Chicago,
it was basically New York-style pizza.
It was all flat because of the flight back.
But, you know, I feel like it's different getting pizza here
that's Chicago-style versus, you know, something like Lou Malnati's.
And for all I know...
It's much different.
I don't know.
It's pretty risky, though. Either people really like it or they're like yeah it's okay yeah
so for all I know even this might not be as good as actually going there and
trying it but it's gonna be a hell of a lot better than me shoving something
into my suitcase absolutely Oh speaking of things not that great
Randy brought those cookies into the studio oh Oh, yeah. Did everybody try them?
They were Chips Ahoy Sour Patch cookies,
and I found them while I was at Big Lots,
and they were behind some random stuff, and it was like two bucks.
So I figured, why the hell not?
I'll bring some in.
What was everybody's review?
I mean, I tried the Mountain Dew Doritos, and I actually enjoyed those.
So you think that my palate would be a little weird?
I tried these cookies.
They were the most disgusting, heinous things I think I've tried in months. Like they were nasty as hell.
And then you started burping up Sour Patch Kids afterwards. It was disgusting.
Yeah. It would have been better if, you know, I just had a Chips Ahoy cookie without the Sour Patch
Kids. I gave it a four out of 10. It was just a weird taste. I mean, it didn't have an aftertaste.
It wouldn't make me throw up in my mouth or anything like that well like the combination
just did not go man because you get like that sweet awesome cookie taste you know and then
immediately you go to sour crunchy candy and it doesn't mix at all they weren't as bad as i think
you guys are paying them out to be they They're not by any means really good, but
they tasted exactly how I thought they were
going to taste. I was expecting just Sour Patch
and that's exactly what I got.
I will agree
the texture of it is a little strange
because it's being Chips Ahoy and all crumbly and stuff,
but I don't think I would say it is as low as
a four. I would give it maybe
like a low six.
You're high. You are high right now.
A low six. And I will say this though. And I told this to both Brett and Soundwave. I said,
I could totally see like a toddler or a little kid flying through these. No questions asked
because this is just like a sugar rollercoaster. And then hurling 30 seconds later.
Speak about hurling. We talked about on the show, what are the alcohols that give you the worst hangover? And then we started getting into
our personal alcohols. Like I can't drink this anymore. And I'm just going to throw it out there.
The one drink that I don't even think I even get drunk off anymore. And it kind of makes me sick
is vodka. I think I'm vodka burnt out, you know, even though it goes with everything and it kind of makes me sick is vodka i think i'm vodka burnt out you know even
though it goes with everything it's great i just i don't know do you ever have those points where
you just you drink hard alcohol and you're like i'm not getting drunk nothing is happening just
the smell of it makes me gag and the smell of it just makes uh just gives me goosebumps and that's
captain morgan i i can't I can't be anywhere near Captain
Morgan. And that's only because Captain Morgan seemed to be the only alcohol people in my high
school drank. And every time somebody threw up, it smelled like vomit in Captain Morgan.
So every time I smell it, I associate it with that. And I just, I can't be around Captain
Morgan. I can't do it. I would say five, six years ago, Captain Morgan had a renaissance.
Everybody was drinking Captain Morgan.
Everywhere.
And then they had those commercials with the pirate or the buccaneer, whatever it is on the bottle.
The captain.
You couldn't escape it.
Yeah, the captain, dude.
Anybody else?
There's two that come to mind.
So when I was in high school, everybody was on their four loco kick. So what, your front room?
Oh, shut up.
Okay.
When I was in public school, okay, everybody was on their four loco kick. And that stuff, I can't even looking at it without wanting to gag just a little bit. The other one, it took me years to finally drink this again. I had a really bad experience with Jameson. And it took me maybe about five or six years for me to actually have another shot
of Jameson and hold it down and that goes back to one night I just turned 21 I could just buy
alcohol on my own finally and the girl I was dating at the time she had one major flaw and
that was if you drank with her she would force you to drink more so i ended up drinking an
entire 750 milliliter bottle of jameson why myself in one night in the span of about four hours how
are you how are you alive i don't know how i lived i don't know how i didn't go to the uh the hospital
for alcohol poisoning i honestly don't know that was the most drunk i've ever been in my life i was hung over
for about two days i didn't eat at all for i think three days because anytime i looked at food i
wanted to barf it was horrendously awful dude i told you that um i flew to ireland one time for
saint patrick's day with jameson and then all we did was drink Jameson for three days straight and I was
Annihilated and I was at the airport and they made me drink coffee before I got on the plane and then I woke up in
New York City
Over in Ireland they have this ginger ale
It's not like the same ginger ale we have here in America and it tastes and it tastes so good
With the Jameson. I don't know what it is, but
you, you can barely taste the alcohol. It is so good. I just can't do it anymore. But, um, that's
why I think I've had way more of a balance smoking weed because now when I do drink, I can enjoy it
a little bit more because I'm not doing it as much as before. So it's like a little treat to have some alcohol.
I'm too anxious to smoke.
Every time I do that, I'm just like, I'm on edge.
I think the world's ending.
I feel my heart pounding in my chest.
Again, that's you every day.
I feel whenever I...
Here's a weird thing that happens in my head whenever I do.
I'm not saying it out loud because my mom's in the house somewhere.
Brady's mom, come over here.
Hijo, did you say you smoke marijuana?
He's stupid.
The reason why I partake in said activity,
I just feel like everything bad happens.
It's almost like, is everything bad happening to me?
How do I explain this?
It feels like only weird stuff happens.
The world's against you. Everyone's out to get you the world against you like
that's how I feel on alcohol that's so strange because I feel dresser we had a
dresser in our garage and that thing had sat there for maybe six months and the
one time I decided to do it I get a phone call from my mom my mom's like hey
just a heads up a random stranger is coming that I met on OfferUp, an app I've never used before.
I've never had the urge to use.
And he's coming to check out the dresser today and probably take it home.
What?
So I'm freaking out because and she's like, just do me a favor.
He seemed kind of weird on the app.
Just don't let him into the house.
And I'm like, are you serious?
Like, why does this only happen to me when I partake in said activity?
Why does it only happen to me during this?
So then I'm outside my house.
I'm outside my house talking to this guy.
And in my head, I'm like,
this dude could like pull out a knife or something.
And Gio was at my house.
And I told Gio, and I was like,
hey, just wait in the dining room
because I'm be honest with you.
She's like, what?
I probably can't defend you right now.
So if things go south, I don't know,
just run, I guess, somewhere.
And so I was like, okay, okay, okay.
Like, just be cool, be cool, be cool, be cool.
And in my head, like I said, I'm thinking, I'm like, this stuff only happens to me when I partake in said activity.
So I'm like, this is just so strange.
And that's why I just, I don't partake in said activity.
Do you know what's crazy?
Like, sometimes when you're high,
people don't realize that you're high.
You know,
I'll have entire
conversations on the phone
and people will be like,
and I'll be the next day.
I'm like,
oh, sorry, dude.
I was acting weird.
I was totally high
when we're talking.
They go,
oh, you were?
I can't tell.
Yeah, I'm too.
I'm too obvious.

had to stop I can't stand Looney Tunes I don't
like Looney Tunes what
that's what he said that was his excuse okay but this
kind of goes into what you were talking about earlier
Brett about the Muppets thing like you recall Mppets and you enjoy muppets from when you were
younger i don't have any feelings towards muppets i don't and if i tried to watch muppets now i
probably wouldn't like it you never watched a single muppets movie not a show not muppet
nothing nope muppet baby sounds like the stupidest thing ever if I'm being completely honest I think
you're the stupidest thing ever if you say Muppet Baby is the stupidest thing ever I've tried watching
Muppets man I just can't do it and the same thing applies with Space Jam I respect MJ I like MJ
but the whole Looney Tunes thing I just think watch Randy be like all about Space Jam 2
probably not and then he's gonna be wearing the t-shirts and all that. Oh, dude, a low-space shoe.
