He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Witty Show morning show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFM. We are joined by our friends Eric and Randy who are coming to us live from Downey, California. Over yonder in Whittier, California, that would be our buddy Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T, and our lovely friend Julianne will probably be joining us soon from Covina, California.

I am a little bit tired today. I was out way past my bedtime, but we're going to try to push through this because we have not given you a podcast in the past week, and I apologize. So let me just get through some business real quick and give you a heads up on where we're going to be at. Everybody from What's New Pod is going to be at the Boo Ha Ha Beer Fest this Saturday at OC Events Center.

If we go to Game 6, we're probably going starts at 8 p.m if we go to game six we're probably gonna have like an early watch party at five o'clock at morongo casino they have a big huge sports bar they have a massive 30-foot television to watch the game on so get there early and then have an after party hopefully they just you know win that day and then we'll just have a massive after party at morongo casinoino. That'd be awesome. The very next day though, I can't party too hard because myself and Gina Grad,

November 2nd, that'll be Saturday. I'll be outside the Rose Bowl with her and our best friend, Animal Society. We'll be there with us from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Again, outside the Rose Bowl Bowl November 2nd. That is a Saturday. Of course, we'll have a bunch of giveaways as well as usual theme parks concerts. We show merch.

So hang out there. And lastly, November 14th, I'll be in Huntington Beach at Wild Fork from 3 to 5 p.m. And of course, a bunch of giveaways as well. So pay attention to our social media at Menace M-E-N-A-C-E. But damn, but damn,

there has been so many things that have happened since we've last had a podcast and I apologize that we didn't have an episode. The last episode, I believe we said we were all having dinner together. So we all got together and we saw Heavy T destroy a couple giant meatballs at Lazy Dog Restaurant.

Oh, my God. Those things were so good. That was the only thing he destroyed. No-Nuts. Giant meatballs. Yeah. Now, Tyler, you were ordering up beers because you said it would be disrespectful to Lazy Dog Restaurant if we didn't get some. Which ones did you order again?

I ordered their Huckleberry. Pretty damn good. Huckleberry Haze is always the way to go there you have so many good ones but that's definitely the best yeah so check out their new menu it was fun seeing everybody together yeah yeah you know we rarely get to do that it was a very fun experience just to see god it sounds so dorky what a fun experience it was to be in person together it was it kind of was because it really did feel like old times working with each other every single day just like the oakland trip did but it was really fun getting to see

each other in a non-work capacity non-trip capacity it was just hey let's just go hang out at lazy dog let's have dinner yeah yeah now did you guys enjoy and brett i keep on forgetting i did get you one as well but everybody else on the pod did did you enjoy the Bucky's Christmas ornament that I got for you? Yes. Yeah. I have so much crap in my apartment. I've been sort of like stuck with using like small miniature Christmas trees. So I can only put like four or five ornaments on at a time.

But this is going to be the first one I put on. I was having that exact thought because, you know, we have the kid and the dog and there's stuff everywhere in my place. Now we're going to have to get a significantly smaller tree. And that Bucky's ornament is pretty hefty It's solid it's a star on the top of the tree pretty much for you guys. Yeah, I have a Christmas flamingo that goes I have the the Mario star like a Super Mario star that lights up that goes on top of the tree I have to plug it in somewhere, so I kind of have to be near an outlet

But I like it all It all comes together rather nicely. I don't know if I put anything on top of the tree, but I will say this will officially be the second Bucky's ornament that will be on my tree. Nice. That's awesome. Also, do you know what? I feel like I'm old now because every time I, well, I am old, but like every time I go somewhere, I go, I got to pick up some ornaments. So like when we're in Philly, I go, I'm going to pick up a Philly ornament. And then when I was at Bucky's, I'm going to pick up some Bucky's ornaments. And then also I'm looking at kids clothes because now all my friends have kids.

And then I also have a nephew and I'm like, that's old people stuff. That's grown up stuff. Your friends are old, man. I know. That shows your friends are getting old. That's true. My friends are old, not me. That's grown-up stuff. That shows your friends are old, man. I know. That shows your friends are getting old. That's true. My friends are old, not me. That's what's going on.

Okay, good. There you go. There's your argument, your defense that you can use. Y'all is getting too old. I mean, that happens when everybody else has kids, man. Look at Eric. He looks... I know, right?

He's a dad now. That dude has AIDS, right? I feel it, man. I feel it. Eric looks how I feel yeah um another thing that happened since we've had a podcast I went to Las Vegas and went to UFC headquarters and hung out with freaking Dana White in his office that's wild it was pretty freaking epic his office takes up like a corner of the entire building now i'm not going to recap it here on the podcast because i i explained a lot of it on the woody show yeah but i talked to you guys about it and it was a pretty crazy experience

you saw a fight yeah we got to go to the apex like right next door to the the ufc office if you don't know they kind of have like their own venue next door that you can walk to and it can fit a ton of people into it. So we got to see a lot of up and coming fighters and see how Dana White is still super passionate about running the company, even though like he could just chill right now if he wanted to. He doesn't have to go to like up and coming fighters fights and make notes and stuff like that. But he cares a ton about the company. to have to go to like up and coming fighters fights and make notes and stuff like that but he cares a ton about the company yeah he's about as hands-on as it can be with who he lets into the

company and who he lets fight for whatever by whatever belt whatever money i mean it's his money basically so he's not just gonna hand it out to bums never watched him before yeah it was incredible i absolutely loved it i will tell you this. One part that I shared on the Woody show that in his office, he has a private kitchen that you just open the door to it and it probably can fit like 35 people. And right when you open the door, two chefs appear and he goes, yeah, they'll make you whatever you want. That's up there with your Snoop Dogg story now. What were you more impressed by?

Were you more impressed by were you more impressed by the two chefs walking in at a moment's notice into this giant kitchen dining area or the multiple I don't want to call them uh butlers but the helpers of Snoop Dogg who came in one with an ashtray the ashtray guy really yeah so the ashtray guy just to recap it i got to hang out with stoop dog at his compound and he had an ashtray guy who disappeared who had at least 13 ashtrays and then stoop dog walked up to the ashtray guy and he he started pointing out different ashtrays and then he probably laid down probably eight or ten of them and then took away the rest of the ashtrays that stooped dog didn't pick out it was awesome that's so crazy that's that is no joke a level of wealth that

i can only dream i know to have your own ashtray guy it was it was pretty funny this ufc because you kind of just dropped it in the group chat like oh hey look where i'm at we're like oh crap and then the next picture it's like not like oh hey you know look at this cool like memorabilia look at these fighters look at that it's like not like, oh, hey, you know, look at this cool like memorabilia. Look at these fighters. Look at that. It's like, look at me looking at this personalized menu for Dana White. With Dana White. Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, I didn't post any photos with Dana White because I was just too busy talking with him.

I had Morgan from The Woody Show with me and Vaughn from The Woody Show with me. And Morgan is like a super geek on UFC. So that's the whole reason we're really there because she wanted to go and so i just kind of just made it happen and so i was kind of tagging along yeah her and dana white just talking back and forth about all the different fighters was really cool to see and just like her fandom like she was in tears like tripping out over anything yeah it was super fun to see. Not even going to lie. I remember when Menace called me.

He's like, oh, hey, I'm going to UFC. After I hung up the phone, I sat in my car for about five minutes wondering how can I get on this plane? How can I get into this area? How can I go? Oh, my God. How can I go? How can I tag along?

Yeah. Another thing that did happen while we were on hiatus of releasing episodes, myself and Bort, we went to the Japan Fair. Nice. You'll see Japan Fair. And it's good that Randy wasn't there because it would be very dangerous. There were so many different items of different figures and toys

and just memorabilia from Japan that you could buy. Everything Pikachu. I mean, like Eric would have been dangerous there as well you guys would be spending your bank accounts at this thing and also all the different food from around Japan that was available it was such a cool experience and they have been doing this since 2008 the amount of stuff that we saw like yes there was there was classic music from Japan there was people teaching you know uh dialect from japan like all these very historical rooted customary things that of course randy would have looked at but once we got past that yeah and into all the

anime stuff it was basically comic-con but just all japan i mean i said good stuff i sent you guys some rugs some pokemon fabuloso style rugs. It was that everywhere. And, you know, it got even harder when Menace came up to me and said, hey, Randy wants you to buy him something. Yeah. I'm like, how? What? There's too many choices. Yeah, it was really fun and a really cool experience to be there. But I want to ask you guys, has there been anything noteworthy other than the world series that we will get to but that has happened in your life since we have had the podcast episode that you would like to share with us i've been working and just at home not really doing anything oh yeah i guess there is one thing okay i'm on the verge of getting at least to me a new car so there it is oh there we go nice i guess it's not nothing's official yet you guys should be proud of me i've actually done it the right way this time yeah not just going in just leasing some vehicle right off the line impulse yeah yeah dude we are we're actually smart we did

our research we applied for the correct loan and everything and wow yeah we as in me and my dumb ass self so yes oh okay how about the car the the triple lifted uh double axle truck that you're getting yeah dude pretty dude gets one mile to the gallon kind of yeah 30 inch rams no looking at a uh train horn like i said new to me it's going to be a used car but it's a 2021 kia forte which is a lot better than my current car which is 17 years old. Now that you're getting a new car, I can officially say that Tyler's car by far is the most unsafe I've ever felt inside a car. The headlights are cloudy.

The car sounds like a plane when it's going, and it's bad. There's never been a louder car in our little carport area, mine at least, than when Tyler pulls up. That is a great point. That is a good point. Yeah, like the engine just like, I don't even know how to describe it. It just like does like, like it does that. The windshield is scratched. Like Randy said, the headlights are foggy.

My mom calls it the death mobile. So there's that. Cool. At least your mom's cool with it. Yeah, so we desperately needed a new car. And yeah, I found one on CarMax that fits my price range. I'm going's cool with it. Yeah, so we desperately needed a new car, and I found one on CarMax that fits my price range. I'm going to go with that. For those listening who still can't fully picture what it looks like,

if you've seen Mad Max, then you have a rough idea as to what his car looks like. Actually accurate, dude. It's so bad. Yeah, and what's funny, too, is there's so much lore behind the car, too. I remember when he first bought it, I was like, Tyler, why does it say, I hate you, like scratched into the door like somebody keyed i hate you yeah he wouldn't give me a solid answer but i'm like all right man well i have theories i've got many theories i walked outside one day and i was like oh cool someone keyed the car like did not but i'm like

you know what it's an at this point the car was already 12 years old. I'm like, what am I going to do? Get a new paint job? This is actually true. Oh, no. This is actually true. You never noticed? I'm not observing his car. I try to avoid it at all costs. Now, wait, wait.

You're not explaining, did it happen after you bought the car or it came like that? It happened like two weeks after I bought the car. And I'm like, what the hell is this? So here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I saw that it was scratched. And my thinking is like, well, it's an older car.

It'll just buff out on its own, whatever. Like, I'm not going to worry about it. Buff out on its own? That's crazy. That's crazy. So right after this is when we go to Big Bear right before COVID. So this is about four years ago. Okay.

So we go to Big Bear. And then Randy gets there. He's like, did you tell your driver's like your driver's door is a key scratch? I was like, yeah. He's like, why does it say I hate you? I'm like, what are you talking about? And I go outside and I look and definitely someone spelled I hate you in key scratchers on the driver's side door. Oh, my God.

And the best part about it, too, is that for those that know, you can have an idea as to where it may have come from. And I was like, Tyler, could it have come from this? And he's just like, no, probably not from that. I'm like, oh. No, it wasn't from that. Okay. Which just deepens the line. Sounds like somebody else's child support.

No, it's like the only back story is a vengeful ex. We'll just leave it at that. Yeah, maybe that person wanted her back in your life. That'd be crazy. Well, she's that person either. That's kind of wild. Tyler, my question here is... Repeatedly. The lore behind this car is

great. It got me to and from Texas, so I can't really complain. Well, you're still alive. Rest in peace to the fallen soldier. Yeah, R.I.P. Eric, anything happening in your life other than Dodgers? Well, you're still alive. Rest in peace to the fallen soldier. Yeah, RIP. Okay. Eric, anything happening in your life other than Dodgers that you want to share? No.

Still have a baby. Still got a baby. All right. Dodgers still in the playoffs. Bills are playing well. That's pretty much it now at this point. All right. Any further wellness check?

You said it a little bit downer even though things are... No, it's just rest probably. Just getting rest. Yeah, yeah. I'm telling you, I have to have this talk with you guys. I feel like I'm working Woody Show hours without working at the Woody Show. Yeah, true. Come on, don't be a puss.

I know. He's actually sounding more chippier than he has in his past. That's good. Yeah, probably getting a couple of winks in. That's good. All right. Now, I know something that did happen with Randy and Eric, that you guys popped on over to one of my Cosm events and you got to experience Cosm for the first time.

COSM.com. If you're listening to this podcast, it is a venue that is next to SoFi Stadium. Also, they have one in Dallas at a place called Grandscape in the colony. The city is called the colony. And it's basically like a mini sphere. That's the best way to describe it. Now you can watch live sporting games. Now you guys came over and you checked it out for the very first time.

I have been talking about it like crazy on this podcast for, I don't know, maybe close to a year now. And I feel like everyone thinks I'm a crazy person, but now that Cosm is finally out in the world and people are seeing it for themselves. I see it pop up on news reports and on social media and it's packed. It's sold out like crazy constantly. You get it now, right? That was awesome. It's nuts. The best way you could describe it is the sphere, but it's the sphere i would say it's better than this it is smaller it's more compact and you know the sphere has fits like

what 16 000 people yeah you still feel like you're in an arena you're not like that close to it but cause them you feel like you're inside of it and everything is just surrounding you yeah we were there for the lakers first game of the season so we we were watching warm-ups, and the way it's set up is you feel like you're sitting under the basket while LeBron's taking dunk drills five feet in front of your face. It's insane. Yeah, and I also feel like it's just built for baseball,

too. The way that it's shaped, I think the best experience so far I've had is baseball. I got to watch a Dodgers-Mets game there. Oh yeah, didn't they have a shot where you're behind home plate, right? Yeah. Like the entire time? Crazy.

That would be sick. You got the Pajas home run. I was showing people that. I was like, yo, this thing looks so cool. But I mean, there's no bad seat in the house, right? I mean, you have the mini sphere as we talked about. But then also throughout the entire complex complex there's so many screens and like there's a middle section i think it's the hall where there's no matter where you look there's a different game on or there's a different look to the game that's currently going on so it's just an all-around really great place to watch sports it's got to be awesome for like college football yeah or just nfl like on nfl sundays it's got to be great yeah now do i got you guys sold because it's like two minutes from your work. Is it

going to be your new hangout or what? Nice little spot to catch a game, have a beer. Like a souped up sports bar if you don't make it into the dome to watch. And that whole area too, it's like it's on the brink of finally kicking off and getting everything finished. So it's really nice to see all this stuff coming together. And

Cosm is a great addition. We've done what? Sinopolis events there. Now that Cosm is open great addition so we've done what Sinopolis events there now the Cosm's open I think there's a couple restaurants opening yeah what's it called Hollywood Park yep Hollywood Park dude a little heartbeat going now it's taking over and the World Series is happening at Cosm this Friday I'm gonna go check out the game but I want to know do you guys have any watch plans for the World Series on game one? I think main plan for me is kick it at the house with some pizza and just watch it with the fam. Roughly the same for me.

I mean, I would love to go somewhere. But to be honest, I think it's just going to be hard to find a seat somewhere because it's going to be so packed. And just kind of hanging out with family and friends to me sounds like a good time to watch this game. I'm going to be very stressed out. I'm just happy that the schedule is what it is because it's friday saturday monday tuesday wednesday friday saturday so it doesn't line up with any sunday football for us where we have to watch while we're working except for like monday night monday night football so it's i can actually devote my time and not worry about having to work and one eye on my job and one eye on the game also Also, they really hooked it up with the parents and everything because no game on Halloween

night when you have to take the kids trick-or-treating. Nice. Well, that's going to bum somebody out. Say hi, Julianne. Julianne. Hi. Hello. Hi.

Julianne doesn't want me here. What is the trick-or-treating plans for you? I'm not even too sure yet. Probably just walk around my neighborhood, drink wine. Oh. There we go. I usually have my, we throw a fire pit in the driveway. you? I'm not even too sure yet. Probably just walk around my neighborhood, drink wine. I usually have my... We throw a fire pit in the driveway. Okay. Do you have any plans to watch the World Series

at all? No, not really. Kevin's not into sports and I hate that about him. You just put that on the list of things you hate about him? I know you love Kevin, but you always have a couple things here and there that annoy you. Yeah, that's number 100. We made it to 100. But yeah, I'm stuck watching his sperm trophies.

Oh, wow. I don't really have plans. So if you guys want me to come over with my sperm trophies, I will come. No, leave those at home with him if he's not into it. Okay, now I will say this. Okay, so Julianne, you're probably excluded from this part of what I was going to say. I was just thinking about this, that it sucks that you guys don't work for the Woody Show anymore. And I'll tell you why because after 10 years

i finally have like access to things involving sporting events and now all you guys work with sports so you're never available for anything that i want to like invite you to yeah one of the events that uh cosm is plugging coming up in a couple weeks is bills at 49ers sunday night football and i'm like sick i'll be across the street working yeah we can easily go to that together i will say this i did just see a tweet for cause i'm uh game one of the world series uh that dome area sold out in seven minutes yeah i did if you look at the calendar like i took a look at the calendar to try to find some stuff that maybe i could go to like some premier league things all sold out everything sold out yeah it sucks i uh he's stuck with me now no sports i know it sucks yeah bread

doesn't want to go to any of that crap and it is such a busy weekend so like this weekend it just in la in general when it comes to sports so So Friday, I'm going to hit Cosm for World Series. Then I'm going to be a little bit late. I'm going to Lakers at Crypto. And then on Saturday, we have our Boo Ha Ha that we're going to be hanging out at. And then on Sunday, I have Chargers versus Saints, right? And none of you freaking fools can go to any of that stuff because you have to work.

It sucks. I hate it. I mean, you didn't ask me, but I could be free. With your thousand kids? It's okay. It's okay. All right. The big story is Friday night's going to be absolute hell on the freeways.

Yeah, but they always say that. Carmageddon 3, blah, blah. Thank you, man. And then it's like empty. Thank you, dude. I love that they hype it up, though, because when I do have to go out when they say it's going to be Carmageddon, guess what?

It's great. Yeah. I have the freeway to myself. Yeah, we need that. Here's my thing. Everybody's like tweeting and all the out-of-towners and all the transplants are like, oh, this is why LA sucks. It's like, oh, so much stuff happening on a Friday.

Well, one, it's happening on a Friday because you're in LA. That's why you live in LA. Two, it's traffic every day in L.A. It took me an hour to get home yesterday. Was there a World Series game? No. Was there a concert? No.

It's L.A., dude. Deal with it. Three, feel free to leave to levy the traffic for us because it took me an hour and 45 to get back from Manhattan Beach yesterday. Yeah, every time I type in from where I live near Burbank

to Inglewood to go to Hollywood Park to either work with Cosm or SoFi or you know, Sinopolis it's always hour and a half it's that time of year, the 405 gridlock pictures during Christmas and Thanksgiving, look at the 405 look at all the break lights

every year it happens millions of people live here I just want to express that it sucks that you guys don't work with us anymore i mean i do miss you on a daily basis but it's more selfish thing because i just want you guys to come with me to go do cool i will say me and randy going to cause them with you it's been a while since we did something like that and we forgot exactly what it is like going to something with with you and it's like meeting all these people it's like oh hey i work head here i'm a head here i'm a developer here i'm this and there's handshakes and kissing babies everywhere

yeah like oh yeah this is the ceo of this company this is you know this person it was fun i did act like cosm is my third home though right when i was giving you a tour he was standing in the doorway as we got like checked in we scanned our little tickets and he stood there and welcomed us like it was an episode of MTV Cribs. Hello and welcome. It was super fun. Another place that's right next door to you guys that I'm trying to make my fourth home. I went last night. If you have not checked it out on my

social media, go to at menace, M-E-N-A-C-E because I really want to share this experience with you. Into a Dome dome the Clippers oh my god that place is sick I know it's been open for a while but it's been only open for concerts they had their first home game

last night the Clippers did invite me because they heard me talk about it on the radio and dude I love the face ID I know you might be a little against it, Brett, but dude. Oh, I'm out. Check this out.

There is other options if you don't want to use your Face ID. Good. But dude, you walk right in, no line, through security. Yeah. And everything is cashless, right? So everything is on your app. So let's say you want to go to the merch store. You just walk up to it.

It recognizes your face. It opens the door. Then you just start grabbing merch, and then you walk out. You don't have to deal with any lines. You don't have to deal with anybody inputting your stuff into the system. The same with food. You can just go up to any of the food vendors, and you're like, okay, well, I want these chicken tenders.

You just grab them, and you walk off. It is absolutely incredible. It was seamless, and I know there was a lot of flack probably night one because people didn't really understand it and of course they don't read any directions but if you download the intuit app ahead of time and just fill out all the information and not try to do it on site because you walked up and you didn't read anything. Dude, you're just basically walking around and doing whatever you want and you don't get stopped down for anything. It's incredible. That was Steve Ballmer's big thing. When he had that big press conference about the stadium, he said his biggest objective was to make sure that people aren't out of their seats for too

long. That's why there's 1,300 toilets in the entire stadium. He made that so seamless and easy for everyone. It was like one toilet per 15 seats. Yeah, it was crazy. This place is so cool. So check out Intuit. Shout out to the Clippers. Shout out to Steve Ballmer. And you know what I also love is just a heads up because they said that, you know, you can charge your phone there.

You do have to bring a cable with you. You don't just like it's not wireless charging so you bring a um a usbc cable so if you want to charge your phone make sure you what was um what was the wall like their clipper fan only college style section it looked hyped on everything i saw on twitter and on tv the wall is cool because i didn't sit in that section but um i had a clear view of it and they hook up people that sit at the wall because the wall is supposed to be more like affordable seating more of a college atmosphere but they're giving away like all kind of crazy merch multiple merch

they have a thing so kind of like the um what sofi has with their visuals you know the rounded like oculus type thing uh they kind of have something similar there and they said the storm is coming so everybody that sat in that section had like ponchos that they put on and that was really cool and then everybody had their own t-shirts and their own towels and stuff like that so they really hook up people in that section and yeah after the game devin booker and kevin durant both talked about how they missed free throws because of all the craziness that was happening on that end of the floor oh yeah because it's wild it is super wild look at my video at menace m-e-n-a-c-e two other things i want to mention real quick though that was really cool

they had like these interactive buttons as well so like they had games on the screen that you can play along with during the downtime. So that was super fun. Oh, do you know what they did give out, though? They gave out these compasses that you walked in. And they're high-quality compasses for the opening night. And it was really cool. Yeah. Part of their rebrand, they're really leaning into the boating and water features of a clipper.

I don't really know what the definition of a clipper is but it has yeah it's a ship yeah the yankee clipper you hear about that yeah it involves like shipping and nautical stuff i did notice in your instagram video you're wearing a pretty dope clippers jacket oh thank you yes it's pretty awesome you're busting out some fancy jackets lately. That one, the movies one. I know. I can actually fit in my jackets again. So that's why I started wearing them. I wasn't going to really point this out.

And if you want to stop me, you can. Yeah. But a lot of people have been commenting that you're looking slim. Slim down. Slim menace is back. I'm trying. Me and Randy said that exact same thing when we were standing in line and we saw him on the other side of the doors.

We're like, dude, menace is trimmed up. I'm trying, dog. I'm trying trying there was a video a few months back there was a interview in studio and usually menace has a different spot for that and if you look at that compared to today there's a it's wild there's a difference and it sucks because like you know when you're fat you don't really realize how bad it is until you lose weight to be honest because like i have you kind of have like this body dysmorphia type thing and you're like oh it's not that bad like i have my employee of the month photo i sit next to it every single day and at that time that photo was taken i'm like oh i'm not that bad and now i see it i'm like holy crap dude yeah it it's bad you know so um that's when you notice and you look at old photos of yourself compared to right now and then you're like oh

crap crap what was i thinking what was i doing so yeah i do that with exhaustion and depression i look at my face and i went wow i was i was so much happier livelier years ago what happened what am i doing yeah you were never you were never like over the top though overweight i would i wouldn't say uh yeah but i i don't know you could have lost some lbs which you did and you look superb but i just i don't think that you were like oh god that guy's a fat piece of crap yeah to me i didn't look at you thank you well you're a sweetheart julian but i think i think the internet would disagree with you well of course because the internet is a bunch of trolls i'm

your friend i'm telling you thank you you were never like that guy's extremely overweight he really needs to lose weight you were never like that you were just like okay you know he can afford to lose some lbs here and there but nothing too dramatic. Yeah. I don't think. They would have been sad this month for your birthday month, man. No food drops. Zero at all. Zero. I am like starving.

Why? It's different. Why? I just didn't really pursue it this time. Didn't pursue it. That's disappointing. I mean, even though you're losing weight, you can still eat.

Yeah. I mean, I did get some spam from mr grimace i don't know if you saw that it's on the woody show instagram story it'll probably be gone by the time everybody hears this podcast but he sent me like 20 different spams so that's good oh yeah that's that's how many tyler said he was he was gonna buy when we went to costco i know but no i'll be real with you spam is fire is fire, dude. If you hate it, you're missing out. Speak on it. Spam is good.

Have you guys ever had like the spam little, I don't know what they're called. There's a word for them, like spam sushi, like it's roasted in. Oh, yeah, yeah. The Hawaiian style stuff. It's on a little rice thing.

Yeah. That is bomb. It's lit. So I have 20 different flavors if you want to try different spams with rices. One other thing I wanted to add, I did get all the boys here

that are big sports fans. I did each get one of here that are big sports fans. I did each get one of you one of the compasses. So just in case you get lost at sea or if you're in the woods. Or in case I get lost on the freeway during Traffa Carmageddon 3. This is when you become a fan of a new team, a marquee moment, a new stadium, a full rebrand. You get a cool gift. You don't just jump on right as they're about to win a world series this is yeah this is how it happens that's a great point by eric this is a time for this is a chance for you to become a basketball

guy this is yeah right in your face here embrace the whippers the funny thing is is that i used to be a fairly decent basketball guy and then the lakers signed lebron and ruined everything so yeah okay that eric and i eric and i were talking about it uh the other day about how like we just follow so many sports that it's not that i mean me personally that i don't like basketball i just can't i can't i can't it's hard to take on more sports games to watch you can't add it to the rotation yeah for me it's a little deeper there's just so it's just basketball there's just so many things the same thing with soccer there's so many things. The same thing with soccer. There's just so many things. I try, and then I watch it, and I'm like, okay, this kind of blows.

Oh, but the thing with basketball, it's constantly moving. It's at least exciting. I feel like I can't really get into it until the games mean a lot more towards the end of the season. Oh, oh, oh. So when somebody's actually making it to the championship. I have to see who's winning to attach myself to that. Guys, now I care.

Now I'm into it. Let's go. Also, I feel like as far as the four major sports are concerned, basketball players are easily the most, how do I say this very nicely? Unlikable. Yeah, that's a very good way of putting it. Yeah, well, the thing is, yeah, the thing was, yeah. I will add what sucks is that they jump around too much on teams nowadays.

I was joking around because last night I saw KD, who towers over everybody. Yeah. And I'm like, wait, he's on the Suns now? Is this his 17th team? Yeah. It's not like it was in the 90s, where you could see a player and go, oh, he's with that team. Yeah. Like Jordan with the Bulls.

Yeah. You're not going to see him anywhere else. I think that's the other thing, too, is that in the 90s, there was defense. There's hardly any defense anymore, and it's kind of boring. The big thing I've seen now, though, is that now the big problem is the load management. So guys will take games off, and as a fan, you'll spend upwards to a couple hundred bucks to go see your favorite guy play, and then he's not playing. It's so much to the point now that in Philadelphia,

I think the NBA is investigating what's going on there because their big marquee center guy has basically said, I'm never playing back-to-back games. Yeah, literally, they don't play back-to-backs. Joel Embiid and Paul George both missed the opener when it's like, okay, you've got all offseason to ramp up. They're like, yeah, well, they're just not ready yet.i leonard's a guy on the clippers who's always kind of hurt yeah it's just it's yeah it's tough to get behind because it's like do they even really

care until it's you know i know january and february they're pulling a tyler they're like see if they're winning or not yeah see just just like tyler but ty Tyler has committed himself, I will say that, because he followed the Angels for so long and Otani that he just didn't want to admit it that he's such an Otani fan he jumped to the Dodgers. He should have done it when he started at the beginning of the season. That was his moment. Instead, he bitched and moaned all season.

I know we've been over this. We got him riled up again. He should have taken that chance as, okay, F the Angels. I'm with Otani. I'm an Otani fan. I'll follow him. And it would have been more well-received instead of F-ing the Dodgers, F them, F you, they're bitches, you're bitches, and then, oh, hey, a playoff

run. You know what? Let me go buy a jersey. All of those interactions occurred in the same season. Six months, four or five months ago, he was drunk at Dodger Stadium and hoping they didn't make the playoffs. My only response? I saw the light. That's it, dude. That's my only response.

I saw the light during the playoffs. Jesus came to me in a dream and he looked like Otati. Perhaps a being came back into your life and swayed you. Let's don't beat a dead horse, a.k.a. Tyler. Alright, so, some other important news. How about some food news? You guys want some food news real quick?

And I'm surprised this hasn't become a part of our group chat a little bit more, but SpongeBob, all these different collabs that have been going on with food. Yeah. There is so many throughout Los Angeles and nationwide. I'm just going to recap just quite a few of them, but there's way more. So in the food news, the coolest thing that's happening, I think, is the SpongeBob Krabby Patty collabs. Now, some here in L.A. are Randy's Donuts. They have theirs, which is really cool. They have Morty's Good Burger. They have Boa Steakhouse. They have Fat

Sal's. They have Pioneer Chicken. And in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, Farmhouse Chicken Thai Cuisine. Nationally, you have Prince Street Pizza and Wendy's and so many more. Have you guys taken advantage of any of this stuff? So I said, oh, no, when you first started with this. And this is probably why it hasn't made it into the group chat, because I work with Randy on a daily basis. Yeah. For about a week, he was bitching and moaning about an experience with this Krabby Patty meal at Wendy's. Okay. Yeah.

So it started off as a beautiful, sunny Saturday. I was really excited. A lot. Okay, so I went to a local establishment to get me the Krabby Patty meal. I was really excited. I was locked in. I had a full day scheduled out. We're going to get the Wendy's. We're going to go to Target and do whatever the hell life throws at me.

So I go there. I arrive at 1210. Place my order at 1213. I'm going to go ahead and let you guys guess when I got my meal. I already know the answer, so I'm not saying it. 1253 p.m. Stop it. 40 minutes I waited for this meal.

Wait, this is for like a burger combo? For the burger combo, I waited 40 minutes and I checked multiple times with the lady at the cash register. I was like, hey, by chance, have you gotten my meal ready yet? She's like, oh, have you not gotten your food yet? I'm like, lady, if I had gotten my food, you would have handed it to me. Now, is it because they were just overwhelmed with orders, or are they just, like, blowing you off? No, dude, they're incompetent.

They don't know what the hell they're doing. There was, like, six people in the goddamn restaurant. That was it? Yes, dude. I was like, yo, where's my effing food? Did you at least get your, I will say, your delicious pineapple frosties? I was like, no, I haven't gotten those. And she gave me those.

And then I waited another 25 minutes for my food. I'm easygoing. I don't, I don't complain. In fact, I don't speak up a lot, rather probably not enough to be honest, but I was just standing there and I'm like, look, I'm like, dude, don't be a dick. Don't be a jerk. Don't blow up. Don't be the guy that loses his ish at a burger establishment because they haven't given you your Krabby Patty burger because that's how you end up on Twitter and being called a fat ass like six different ways. So I'm like, yo, I'm like, hey, I was just curious, is my food ready yet? And then the lady looks at me and she goes, well, I have to go check with the team in

the back. I'm like, what do you mean? I'm like, don't you guys have these things like on a conveyor belt or something you just throw it together it got to me okay let me ask you one question now did you spicy nacho loves saying pulling a menace now i just stand right there in their face and don't move like if i have i've seen this uh like a reservation and my reservation isn't ready and it's the time of the reservation, I'm standing probably five inches from their face. I've seen this. This is usually when I'm around the corner.

Now, are you going back and sitting down and waiting? Are you standing right there and looking at her? Oh, no, brother. I'm logged in at the counter. It's me and the DoorDash guy. Now, I think you're exaggerating on the time then. I just don't believe you. He has the receipt.

He sent us a picture of the receipt when it was given to him and when it was ordered. I took a photo of my watch with the food and the receipt with the time code. In fact, they called my name and they're like, here's your meal. And they gave me the wrong order. I'm like, yo, this isn't even my order. And at that point, I grabbed the bag. I didn't toss it, but I slammed it on the counter.

I was like, this is not my order. And then she handed it to me and was like I'd see ya so I do with any responsible consumer would do and I filed a complaint on the corporate website sitting that I as a as a dedicated and loyal consumer of your brand was deeply disappointed to receive my food 40 minutes after I place the order I wrote you know I really have to sell it so you can't be like, me and my girlfriend,

me and my spouse, lost most of our day waiting for our food. I'm deeply disappointed. Dare I say heartbroken. I wish I could read that email in the corporate office on the other hand. They're like, hey guys, check out this fat ass crying.

A couple large pieces of crabby patty. So then meals are going for him. Did they respond? Oh, yeah, of course they responded. So it appears that the person in charge of that district and that part of California saw my message and then forwarded it to the owner of the restaurant, contacted me directly and was like, hey, we're so sorry about that. In return, we'd like to offer you two Krabby Patty meals.

Let me know so I can then inform the manager on site. Oh, yeah, the manager that you complained about? Yeah, I ain't taking those. Which is why I have not redeemed the offer, because I'm like, yo, they're going to be like, wait, wasn't this the dude that was waiting? I don't know. But anyways, i was really pissed

off like so over the course of a week randy would just stand up and he'd be like wendy's hasn't replied to me yet we're about to start a show we're in a studio and he's like wendy's hasn't got back to me yet and then i remember i was like oh when did you get back to me my response wow but finally the guy got back to me so i'm what i'm what i'm doing here hold on here's this is what i would do this is what i would do i would i'll take whatever letter you got or whatever coupon you got and i would go to a different location and play dumb and said oh i thought i could redeem this anywhere that's what i would do to be honest yeah it has it has the official uh email too i'd be like hey sorry um i thought i I get it plus to like when I got my burger man I didn't have enough sauce ah yeah because the whole big thing is

like oh it's the sauce check out the sauce yeah I'm eating I mean you came and taste them they're gonna give you a special which is why which is why I have to redeem it it's kind of funny yeah I mean I was heartbroken I looking back now I will admit. Yeah. Now, Tyler, you said you had something on this? It does give me flashbacks of my worst restaurant experience ever. And I'm sure everybody has, like, one of these stories. But I remember this was maybe, like, six, seven years ago.

I went to a Buffalo Wild Wings. Me and myves bb my girlfriend we went to go look at uh we went to go look at christmas lights in long beach and we're like hey we're starving let's go to buffalo wild wings after we walk in there's nobody in there there's literally one other person eating at a table so we go to the bar section we go eat i order my food whatever and our waitress is super nice super helpful so about five minutes after we get in, a group of six people sits at a table that's about two tables down from us. And they're all wearing black, like black suits, black dress and everything. And I'm thinking like, oh, they probably just came from a funeral or something. Right. Yeah. So don't really think anything of

it. Okay. Don't really think anything of it. So me and me and my girlfriend are eating. And then the general manager so the guy who runs his buffalo wild wings comes over us and says hey listen they just had more people show up for their party they need more room i'm going to ask you to pick up your food and move one table over yeah and i looked at the dude and i'm like you know what i'm like i said i'm pretty sure these people just came from funeral i'm not going be that guy yeah I'm just gonna go one table over and I'm be okay about it okay so more of their party ends up showing up the general manager comes back again as I am in the middle of eating and says I

need to pick up your food again and move tables again oh i wanted to flip out on this guy so badly it took it took like over everything do you know how much energy it takes me to move and eat my food i was like it's not just that like i understand like if i just have my drink or something yeah or if my food had just got there i am literally mid-, like in the middle of eating. I have a chicken wing in my mouth, dude. That guy could have lost a hand. You know? You ever see videos of Rottweilers and like Rottweilers horses?

When you're trying to take the food away from the Rottweilers. Dude, my all-black Frenchie, Chimmy, sometimes she'll growl if I get too close to her food. Dude, so yeah. I end up moving again. I'm livid at this point, dude, her food. Dude, so, yeah. Relax. I end up moving again. I'm livid at this point, dude, because I'm like, dude, like, you're asking. And, again, the restaurant was empty.

You couldn't have to move anywhere else. Why are you at the deep booth? You could have said no. You could have said no. I mean, I could have. Julianne would have said no. I could have. I'm like, no, I'm here.

They can sit over there where it's completely empty. Thanks, though. Whatever. So we end up leaving, and I told my girlfriend, like, look, look go to the car i'm just going to talk to the dude for a minute hey look that wasn't cool that's messed up or he's like i'm sorry well let me make it up to you gives me a coupon for a free like five piece wing yeah and i'm like i don't want it yeah and then he's like no i insist you take it yeah i'm so pissed off we know you want that cuba dude i'm so pissed off i ended up calling uh the the whoever like customer service yeah yeah customer

service the next day and the chick i talked to was absolutely mortified and she's like go to one of these locations mention my name your entire bill is on me oh nice and i was like okay cool well i brought some of my friends we dropped like 200 bucks yeah yeah but like you should have just told that guy like look me moving the table is not gonna bring that dead person back so they need to relax so i did i did i did i did do that i did do that but i did one of those things where like you ever seen it where people write like a message on the back of the receipt or something yeah so i did that and i remember specifically calling him a bald-headed f wow on the back of

the receipt because i was sold out coupon then yeah dude i was like f you dude like i'm pissed but but honestly working in the restaurant industry for so long like they shouldn't ask that like yeah exactly especially when it's empty i know there yeah you really shouldn't yeah i would love to continue this conversation but i have to wrap this up i have to get back home a bunch of stuff going on of course super busy weekend the brew haha is happening everybody from what's new Pot is going to be there.

He said it's very important.

What else could it be about? All right. Tyler, do you have anything to say before we leave? On that note, if your local food establishment gives you bad service, please make sure to email the owner of said establishment and they will give you free stuff. Just to keep that as a reminder. And other than that, hopefully me getting a new car this weekend will go very smoothly. Nice.
