On this epsiode we talk Rite Aid Closures, Sizzler Comeback?, Bitcoin is Back?, Travel & More!

What's new, what's new with Menace? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I'm Menace, I'm joined by Bort, aka 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. We are joined by our friends Eric and Randy, who are coming to us live from Downey, California. Also, just over yonder, we have our buddy Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T.

He's just in Whittier hanging out with his family and broadcasting live from his childhood room. Yes, unfortunately, that is the way it is. I was very, very descriptive, and I don't know how I feel about it. Because you were having a mental breakdown last episode? That's fair. That's fair. He doesn't have the bunk bed anymore, though, right? You're out of the bunk bed life?

That is true. That has been gone for a long time. Coming up in the world. Well, check this out. I just want to say thank you to everybody that came out to Citadel Outlets last Friday. It was a whole bunch of fun. And check this out. A lot of people saying that they listened to What's New Pod.

Shouting out all the members that are like, when is Randy showing up? When's Eric showing up? When's Borg showing up? When's Tyler showing up? And I was like, look, guys, they only get like one or two days off a week, and it's sporadic. And I don't expect them to come out to every event that i do but

thank you so much for all the love for everybody listening to the pod and did you see that video that i recorded i put it in our group chat of a lot of people sticking up for tyler aka heavy tea saying brett eric you're too hard on heavy tea you got to cut him a little slack uh eric would you like to go first here? What's the phrase? A masochist? People get off on being tortured and stuff. Tyler knows any pub

is good pub. As long as somebody's making fun of him, they're still talking about him. He knows what he's doing. Amen. Yes, exactly. I know what I'm doing. Here's the other thing, too. I know it's all with you guys. It's all in in good fun at least I think it is for the most part like I figured like like I know like Eric and Randy for the most part are joking around although I know Eric does get annoyed with me sometimes but that's okay so it is just the way it is and

you know I'm fine with it as long as like no one's actually like you know coming at me and I could tell like oh you're being serious then yeah we're good Tyler grew up living in a platoon with 85 brothers and the funny thing was is that he was the oldest brother right and his younger brothers knocked him but he was still like oh I'm top dog I'm still top of the food chain here. If you would have known the s*** that went on in my house, it would not have been a good thing. Our jobs here are to Big Brother Tyler a little bit. Smack some sense into him. What's left?

I was going to lay low in the month of November and not really do any events, but our friends at Norm's called me and said, hey, we want you to show up. And I was like, well, I can't say no to Norm's. And I was like, well, I can't say no to norms. So November 9th from 4 to 6 p.m. It's a Thursday. I'm going to be at the new norms on Hollywood Boulevard. It's 54, 53 Hollywood Boulevard from 4 to 6 p.m.

Ravy might be joining me on this one. I don't know for sure, but I for sure will be there from 4 to 6 p.mm at norms with a bunch of giveaways for theme park tickets concert tickets woody show merch and more as usual stop on by in hollywood on hollywood boulevard uh tyler you're taking off though you're not gonna be on the next podcast you're gonna be going on a road trip where are you going so i i actually am gonna be on the next podcast so real quick okay my bad yes so next week all good so this is what the plan is it is currently halloween night happy halloween everybody uh which would make this a tuesday so i got invited to the clippers game later tonight and i looked at the calendar I was like oh I'd be really down to go

there's one problem I have a flight I have to catch at one in the morning later today so I'm like okay the game's gonna be cutting it a little bit close I'm like how am I gonna get to the game because I can't bring like let's say I over to the game I can't bring my luggage with me and leave it in the stadium and then go straight to the airport i can't do that so i'm trying to figure this out like my flight's at one in the morning so like i'd have to yeah so the game wouldn't get out until well the game wouldn't get out until about 10 10 30. so i'd be having to uber all the way back home they'd come all the way back towards lax so i figured it out what one of my brothers i told him hey look you're going with me to the Clippers game I will pay for parking I will pay for your beer inside and you're getting a free ticket all I ask is

that after the game drop me off at LAX and they're like okay that's a pretty fair deal easy so yeah this is some like revelation that's been the plan to start I know right I mean the problem was is that because it was super last minute and like it's halloween night so especially my brothers who work at disney they're booked for the night and one of my brothers is already out of town so there was only it was down to one brother that could do it yeah i only have five other brothers i could ask options are limited indeed limited i'm not gonna lie i heard that tyler was having a problem going to an explanation and i zoned out automatically.

I couldn't help it. So anyways, you got your brother to take you to the game, and you're going to leave at 1 o'clock. My big question is, James Harden just got traded to the Clippers. Will he be playing? Yes, yes. I don't think so. Like, he got traded late, late last night, like 2 in the morning East Coast time

where he plays in Philadelphia. He probably caught an overnight flight. late late last night like two in the morning east coast time where he plays in philadelphia he he probably caught an overnight flight he'll probably be there at the stadium but there's no way he dresses and is ready to go there's just no way yeah i mean i think it was a horrible trade by the clippers i don't support this trade at all they gave up way too much for this jack off but if he was there that would be kind of cool that that's one way to put it um i mean this is kind of derailing from the where i'm going thing but like uh james harden real quick he's and i think even eric can agree this dude is probably the biggest cry baby maybe in all of

the four major sports this dude will play wherever he wants be happy for maybe about six months something will happen and then he'll immediately just be like i'm done i quit i want out get get me out of here yeah this exact timeline has played out like four times already he gets pissed demands a trade calls people names gets fat gets traded goes and loses it's like we've seen this done before and the clippers i yeah i think they got worse james harden i mean he's not even what he used to be. I'm sure this will all go swimmingly for the Clippers. I know.

I think it was a horrible idea. But, all right, with that said, Tyler, where are you going at 1 in the morning? Yes, now back to that. So I am actually flying to Cincinnati over the weekend pretty much. My cousin's getting married. Going to see some family I haven't seen in a really long time. So a weird way I'm gonna actually knock out two or three states uh in this trip so I'm flying in Ohio into Cincinnati now my family lives in Union Kentucky which is about 20 minutes outside Cincinnati I did not realize this is an a was that close to the border Kentucky

and on top of that I believe the wedding is taking place like just inside the Indiana border so I'm gonna be like in three states this weekend which is kind of cool and like I said I get to see family that's gonna be pretty dope but the real kicker is on Sunday I'm getting a room back inside Cincinnati city limits I'm gonna go to a couple bars watch all the football games on Sunday. And Sunday night, Bengals-Bills in Cincinnati, Sunday night football, I will be going. Wow! Eric, how do you feel about

this? Tyler, you're getting into a Bills game before me this year. I know. No, it's a huge game. It's a big game, so I'm definitely having some FOMO. I'm hoping he has a good time. This will be a fun game. Now, will Tyler be a good luck charm for the Bills on this one? I doubt it. If anything, if he didn't have bad luck, he'd have none. So something will probably go wrong if he makes it.

Depending on based off just him trying to figure out getting to the Clippers game, he might Uber to the wrong part of Ohio or something. Dude, you know what? I've triple checked my boarding pass just to make sure everything is good because we don't want another wrong airport situation. Yes, I am. Wrong airport. Wrong mountain.

Wrong casino. Now, Tyler, you're going to go to Kentucky. I hope you spot the Thousand Pound Sisters. Maybe you can get some runoff with one of their sisters. You can date them. That would be awesome. Then you can be on TV. That would their sisters you can date them that'd be awesome you know what i'm gonna say this as nicely i can i appreciate that you have interest in my body but i'm gonna politely pass thank you very much wow dude you could be on tv you know what i could be

on tv for a lot better things too so like wow. I don't know if you've been listening to the Woody show, but Woody has been out of town. He went to Pittsburgh to go to some sporting events. He went to the Steelers game and he went to the Penguins game. Apparently that didn't play out very well. But while he was gone, I did a segment called Topic Train, which we've done on the show before. It's where I look up what listeners are talking about. Our core listeners, what are are talking about. Our core listeners, what are they tweeting about? Where are they checking in at? Where are they looking up

online? And a couple of things that popped up, one of them was Rite Aid. And I go, why are people looking up Rite Aid or why are they checking in from Rite Aid? And the reason being is Rite Aid is closing 100 stores across America. The biggest states to be affected is Pennsylvania, New York, and California. Right down the street here in Burbank, where we're recording this podcast, they closed the Rite Aid. No more Thrifty Ice Cream. Are you guys Rite Aid visitors or no? Yeah, in Downey on Firestone Boulevard.

Me and Leanne went and got Thrifty Ice Cream from this Rite Aid probably like two months ago. And we're like, wow, it's kind of empty in here like what the hell and then we saw this news about it so yeah we lost thrifty ice cream used to go to one in northridge i was a big thrifty ice cream guy yeah i actually was too when i worked at the ralphs at the quad there was a rite aid right next door so during the summer they would kind of hit us up sometimes with free ice cream especially if we were one of the guys getting the carts outside is like a million degrees. And that's why they wouldn't have a win. Yeah.

Ha ha ha. That was 10 years ago. Anyway, but like thrifties ice cream was located like really, really good. It's like it was better than, you know, a lot of these places. I got to be honest. It seems like everyone loves thrifty ice cream. Me. I mean, it's not that I didn't like it.

I just didn't have a lot of it. I don't know, man. The few times I did have it, I was never blown away. I was like, wow, this is a hidden gem. You bastard. This is the exact reaction I get every time I bring this up. My respect for you is slightly diminished. Yeah, it's not like we had respect for you before

but now it's really low really low i mean i'm not going to thrifty's looking for like ben and jerry's cold stone flavor ice cream it was good for what it was get a double scoop in a waffle cone or a cup you know go for a nice walk eat on the. Yeah. But you know what's crazy is Thrifty Ice Cream, there's randomly a Thrifty Ice Cream section of a Circle K, convenient mart, whatever you want to call it for those. Yeah, in California on Paramount Boulevard in Downey, just past the 99th St. Store and like Warren High School, there's a Thrifty Ice Cream setup in a Circle K just randomly.

I was in there getting something the other day. And I was like, is that Thrifty? And sure enough, it's not as big of a selection, but they have one decent-sized freezer with a thrifty ice cream and everything. You can just go and get your scoops of ice cream there. Hell yeah. And you say Circle K in California.

I believe Circle K is kind of everywhere, but kind of going away. I don't know, but I'll tell you this. When I was in Hong Kong, they had Circle K. That's right. Yeah, super random socal definitely spares for circle k but to know that that thrifty's ice cream is inside of there i think we all need to take randy there another thing listeners were looking up was sizzler and i'm like why are listeners looking up sizzler well apparently somebody posted a 1985 commercial of the sizzler

salad bar and everyone was freaking out on how elaborate it looked back then where it was like a Vegas style buffet. And I can tell you this as a kid from the eighties, it was, it was massive. It is not what it is today. Now people are like, well, is Sizzler still around? Yes. Sizzler is still around. I looked it up. There's over 80 plus locations still around and internationally in Japan and in Thailand. Are you still Sizzler supporters or did you go to Sizzler a lot back in the day? Usually it was a little trip. I would take it with my grandma or an aunt and uncle. It just seemed like a safe place to go eat.

It was just we have steak. We have salads. Rainy gets ice cream. It's a win-win for everyone and so that's usually who i would freak them with my parents they were never big sizzler people i don't know why but uh i mean i don't mind it i actually had sizzler not that long ago there's one still around where i live and in fact they recently like did this whole big launch for a new menu they were doing they're like come check out the new and improved sizzler

this and da da in downda. In Downey? Yeah, near Downey, near Downey. And I was like, oh, this is pretty good. Made me miss Sizzler in Burbank. Why does he want to promote where it's located and help him out? Near Downey. So where I live. Because he's probably there more often than not,

and he's like, this is my safe space. I think he doesn't even know where he's at. It's in Lakewood Boulevard. It's in Lakewood Boulevard. It's in Lakewood Boulevard. My bad. What city is that? Oh, my God. It's in Downey.

It's right next to the McDonald's we went to when we went to go do the... It is in Downey. Yes, it is in Downey. My bad, guys. I like that you pinpointed on that and not the fact that he is apparently good enough and happy enough eating S sizzler ice cream, but apparently thrifties is trash to him, which makes no sense. Tyler, did you crush sizzler back in the day?

I'm going to be honest. I've been to sizzler once, just once in my entire life. I know. Wow. Well, here's well, there's two reasons. Number one, I was just trying to look it up. I know I can't, I don't know where the nearest sizzler is for me. I really don't. I don't know where the nearest Sizzler is for me. I really don't.

I don't think there's one in Whittier. Yeah, honestly, it probably is that one. So that was the first thing. And the second thing is my mom really likes seafood. My dad is not a huge fan of seafood at all. So we just never really went. They have steak. They have more.

Yeah, you get the steak and shrimp. They have more than that they have pasta they have the salad bar maybe the salad bar is not a go-to for you tyler but they have other options so i'm i'm gonna be real about a salad bar thing i will never touch a salad bar and it's not for the reason you think so when i worked in the deli we had a salad bar right there you, in front of the deli and everything, right? I cannot tell you how many people would pick at this thing with their bare hands thinking nobody was looking and I'd catch them all the time. And as soon as they'd leave, I'd have to change it out because that's a health code violation. I don't want to deal with that. I saw that all the time and we would especially have, because there was a park right next

to our store, so we'd have homeless people coming in every now and then. Because of that, I'd never want to do a salad bar. It's just gross. Because homeless people are able to walk into a Sizzler anytime they want and pick at the salad bar. It's not like an elaborate walkway that you have to go through before you can enter the food.

Yeah, literally. It's people in general picking at the salad bar. Yet you will still eat at any buffet that is contradictory here's the thing buffet lines there's people everywhere it's the same thing

no it's not the people in Vegas notably cleaner than anybody else what the hell are you talking about shutting down right now It is. No, it's not, dude. The people in Vegas, notably cleaner than anybody else randomly in the world. Like, what the hell are you talking about right now? Shutting down right now. Have you not seen the people that go to Hometown Buffet? Okay, they're not clean, but we still ate it anyway, so it's delicious.

You bastard. Okay, let's calm down. All right. Since we're talking about food, you guys want some food news? Yeah. That wasn't even food news, but check this out. Pizza Hut extends its hours to align with gen z dining patterns open until 2 a.m now now i didn't know gen z is like late night

eaters i thought they're not going to nightclub oh no that's uh millennials and stuff like that so apparently gen z is cool and they're staying out late and they want pizza i never understand the actual like brackets of where these eras and these like just these dumb terms set off same you know like the age frames but the thing is it's not even nightclubs people i did this a lot with when i was living with roommates post-college people stay in so like they're up late in their kitchen just playing stupid card games and drinking games like so now it's not even like oh you need that late night pizza because you just got home from the club you need it because you're just up up until 2 a.m in your kitchen playing king's cup with your buddy also look there was one other thing i just remembered that i was kind

of pissed about regarding like hours like food hours or whatever uh-huh so i was drinking that's i know that was such a weird way of exploring i was drinking uh at the bar with a couple of buddies and it's about two in the morning we finished last call you know we're going home right so we decide hey we're gonna go through the drive-thru and two drive-thrus by my house that used to be 24 hours all of a sudden closed at midnight. What the hell, man? What's up with that? Where am I supposed to get my fast food? Like when I'm drunk and I need to sober up.

Like what the hell? It used to be Jack in the Box on the late night, at least in my area. Dude, the Jack in the Box closed at midnight. What the hell is that? They have the late night munchie meals. COVID. What the hell is this? We used to be a proper country. What the hell is this? We used to be a proper country.

What the hell is this, man? I think they see you coming and they put the clothes sign on. I have also had this problem. I've been coming back from shows on Sunset Boulevard lately, like the whiskey and stuff. And every single time the show ends at 12, you leave by 1, you're like, where am I going to eat? And we're Google mapping. Is this drive-thru open? Is this drive-thru open? Is this drive-thru open?

Nope There's like one Taco Bell And even the all-night diners That used to be open They're closed at midnight Check this out It's a BS, man There is a 24-hour spot

Near my house Del Taco 24 hours Del Taco has become my go-to Oh, your Del Taco's 24 hours How lucky for you Yes, thank you I don't get that. But my late at night, I'm such, like,

this might be the grouchy old millennial in me or whatever, but, like, my late at night is now, like, coming home from a Kings game at, like, 11.30 midnight. It's like, if I was out at 2 a.m. at a bar nowadays, I'd be so mad. Like, what the hell am I doing? Like, what am I doing, bro? Yeah, like, what the F? Why am I not in bed smoking weed

watching something? Eric, don't worry.? Why am I not in bed smoking weed, watching something? Eric, don't worry. It's going to come back around. I hit that phase. You'll phase out of it and go back to it. I need to be out longer. Oh, never. I don't think I'll ever go back to that.

I'm thinking about my couch and my bed 24-7. How can I get home quicker? How can I get myself out of this situation and into my front room faster? True. Speak on it. All right. I can get myself out of this situation and into my front room faster. True. Speak on it. All right. In other food news, Cup Noodles will finally be in a microwavable cup thanks to a major update where they make it paper.

It was never microwavable? Right. Have I been doing it wrong this whole time? I wasn't supposed to put that styrofoam cup in there? Apparently not. That was probably a thousand carcinogens you just got. My bad. It still tasted good, though.

It did. That's why I'd always trip out whenever I'd eat with people who ate it, quote unquote, the right way. They'd boil water, and then they would be waiting, and then when they were done, they'd pour the water into the cup. And I'm like, this seems like so much work. Just throw it in the microwave. Like chemists, right?

Yeah. Like chemists. Like who had all that time? Or like if you're buying it, let's say say at work if your work had a vending machine you can buy it out there where am i supposed to boil water not only that though it's like why would they not from the jump like it's inception of the the product make the cups microwavable like it just seems like yeah true and as someone that has been to the cup noodle Museum in Yokohama, Japan. I should have asked them that. I'll be back.

But apparently they fixed it. What was your guys' first time realizing you can't put folio in the microwave? I remember when I was a kid, I tossed an Arby's sandwich in the microwave and the blue flame. I'm like, what the hell? And then that's what I learned. I think I was in my 20s when I figured it out. Yeah, I was a little younger than that.

I was like 17 at somebody's house, so they gave me a Pop-Tart. There was no toaster. There was no way to warm up this Pop-Tart. So we put it in the microwave, and I'm like, this is kind of dirty. Maybe I'll just lay the foil for the Pop-Tart underneath, the little wrapper. It was like rated for Mortal Kombat. And that microwave is toast. All right.

In other food news, Walmart introduces a new inflation deal where it's going to save money for customers and not raise prices on essential holiday items. That's nice of them. It's very nice of them. It's like Walmart is actually helping people instead of raising prices like everybody else, where it's just insane. Now, Bort, you were just sharing Burger King. It costs you what? Oh, my God. Yeah, so this happened to me the other day.

I went in, asked, hey, I need these two Whoppers, right? They have promo deals all the time. Didn't see the promo deals. Hey, I need these two Whoppers. And went, oh, okay, cool. And I saw them hit $10 I went wait is that the meal oh you wanted the combo meal

change that $33 for two combo meals at Burger King small size small size and I was like this can't be right and I looked at him I'm like cancel my order.

I'm just going to go to the bar instead. And he's like, oh, okay, no worries. But like, dude, that's everywhere now. My mind is still blown. I can't eat there anymore. Well, at least Walmart's doing something and helping the people out. Allegedly. Shout out to Walmart.

Let's go price match right now. Shout out to Walmart. Well, Musi. All right, guys. Tech news. Now, Eric, I know you're really into the Dogecoin. And apparently, Bitcoin's making a big comeback. One of the largest investment groups.

Allegedly, the head guy says the three investments that he's doing, Bitcoin is part of them. Like gold, Bitcoin, and i think something else is like one of his three large investments allegedly and then you look at the bitcoin and it's just going up and up and up are you still paying attention to crypto no not really you're out i was like that was like my covid just kind of like hey keep me occupied kind of thing i haven't paid attention in a while randy um at the moment no i just don't really have the capital to swing like that. If I did, I would. But also, at the same time, this past year

was really weird for crypto. It seemed like I don't know if you're really invested in it, if you really felt it, but for those outside of it, it felt like crypto kind of took a hit. Bitcoin went down. It did. Because of all the NFTs got wrapped up in it and all that kind of stuff yeah

so people went off board but it's slowly creeping back this is not financial advice at all but if you look at it it's slowly creeping back yeah i mean if i had the money i definitely would invest some of it my mom hit me up recently about uh investing into some crypto but i told her look i'm the wrong person to ask so go go find a professional and see what they say. Matt, a quick thing, because I actually read this on Wired the other day. Do you remember the story of that guy who had millions of dollars of Bitcoin in a USB,

but he forgot the password to the USB? Yeah, and he was going to pay somebody to try to unlock it, and the kid only had like $4. Yeah, did you see the development for that? No. So the development is that they've been he's been contacted by this this company I think they're based in Connecticut it's a group of

guys who they say that they can they can get into his USB they can get access into his money like they can help him bypass the password their claims are from what he did was he sent a word through the system that the USB USB has so it's like I'm gonna shoot you guys a word through the system that the USB has. So it's like, I'm going to shoot you guys a word.

It's, you know, like, let's say in this case, he's password. And you can't access that word unless you have access to the USB, like to get to the security. These dudes hit him up like a day later and they sent, they just texted him the word. They were like password. They refuse to share any details on how they're doing it. They don't want to like give away away how they're going to bypass it, which makes sense because this is going to get them a lot of money if they can figure it out.

But I just thought it was really interesting because I know for a minute everyone was kind of laughing at this guy. It's like, oh, you have all this money and you can't access it, and now there's a chance that he might actually get access to it. But it's risky because I think he only has one or two tries left. So after that, it's gone forever. If he gets in, immediately sell, dude. Yeah, I know.

Don't hold. Sell. I was watching the movie Dumb Money, which is all about the Wall Street bets thing, GameStop and all that kind of stuff. And the guy who kind of started it all, he was up to like $34 million and didn't even sell anything yet. And then it dropped down to like, I think it was because there was a whole thing how Wall Street Bets, which is a Reddit page, shut down for a day. And then everybody freaked out. So they started selling off. So that like $34 million went down to $14 million.

But then Wall Street Bets went back up, and he said, I didn't sell. I bought more. And then it went all the way back up again, which is insane. It was a really good movie. I enjoyed it. It's still in the theaters,

so I want to check it out. It's crazy, man, the people who really do that. I remember when we did Doge. There was five days, two years ago, I want to say, where Doge really skyrocketed up and i you know i didn't invest that much i put like 200 300 in and there was a moment there was a point in the night like 8 p.m 9 p.m where my robin hood thing was up to like 9 50 and

i was like oh i should sell yeah i should sell and i was like oh but if i sell i'm gonna wake up in the morning and be like there's gonna going to be tweets about it. I can't believe you sold, you know? And so. Yeah. And so I held on to it. I lost like four or five hundred out of that. But yeah, my my brother in law had like thousands of dollars on my dude. Sell, sell, sell.

And he wouldn't do it. And then it crashed. But yeah, you got to know when to get out. Tyler, did you ever get into the Bitcoin? No, I thought it was the stupidest thing ever look at that for once in my life i was actually right about that no you're not right because it's back up now it's back up it's gonna go back down the whole thing's like i remember i remember when they came out with those uh i think this was like right around the time of covid when they came out with those stupid nft monkeys all over twitter and now all of them are pretty much worthless so just so dumb dude

well that is different from crypto just fyi it's still i know but it's still part of like the whole online money thing like it's just so dumb you know what i could do screenshot that for free okay get out of here geez tyler's dropping S-bombs everywhere all over today. Are you okay? I'm just bitter right now, man. Look, food's going away. People touching salad bars. Hours are short.

What the hell is happening, guys? Guys, I'm still in a time total from last episode. Remembering going to Sears and taking pictures of my family. All right. Listen to the last episode. It was pretty funny. All right. Hilarious.

In other tech news, Apple announces a new MacBook Pro with max chips and you can get it in black. Ooh. So I looked up the computer

that I would get which would be completely maxed out. The one that I would want at least. And it's 128 gig RAM, 8 terabyte hard drive and it only goes for 7200 dollars just throwing it out there guys for christmas if you want to grab me one go ahead and pick

one up for me i would like it in black also i would like an iphone 15 max stuff that i have not picked up yet because you know what I'm trying to be a little bit better with my money but I do want these items so bad look this up if you have not seen the zoom on the apple iphone 15 max it is insane it is so good can I actually take a good shot of the field or a concert and it actually yeah it's crisp dude it's insane nice i'm telling you guys google it look it up oh uh now randy eric and tyler i know you probably didn't hear the woody show today but i did a little segment where i did this thing called lost audio and i played around with ai and i told everybody hey did you remember when you said this and it was a bunch of audio that they um never said but i

played it like they did say it it was hilarious but there was one thing that i absolutely love i took drake's rich baby daddy and i took greg's voice and i made it into a song and it goes a little something like this bend that ass over let that breathe yeah shake that ass bitch hands on your knees hands on your knees hands on your knees shake that ass for drake now shake that ass for me bend that ass over let that breathe shake that ass bitch hands on your knees hands on your knees hands on your knees shake that ass for drake yeah now shake that ass for me so if you want to hear more of that make sure you go listen to the woody show podcast it was pretty fun playing around with ai now here's the scary part guys to clone greg's voice just like that when i started playing with

audio cloning of people's voices i would have to upload 10 minutes of audio to clone their voice. This time around, 50 seconds. Oh, jeez. To clone their entire voice. It's shocking on how good this stuff is getting. Now, I just had to put up audio examples. If I actually had them read a script, I can make their AI voice 100%. It's stupid. Yeah.

And you know that's what all the telemarketers are doing now. They're reading off a script just to get you to react to different things. It's all cloning. All right. Off of tech news, guess what, guys? I'm back in our favorite city of all time, Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm going to be there for BravoCon, which none of you guys care about, so I'm not going to talk about it.

But I'm going to try to go to the Winfield Club once again for the Raiders game. They're playing the New York Giants. It's way cheaper to get into the Win Club, I found out, when they're not playing like a high-profile team. So if you want to get into the Win Club, just go to their website. It's thewinfieldclub.com and check it out. Now, look for me on TV this time.

Guys, I know you're going to be working. You're nice right there, right up in the front row on the end zone. Yeah, I forgot to ask you. So when you guys are working, are you actually watching the game in its entirety? Are you working on certain things? During the morning, afternoon slate of games, we're watching all of them pretty closely for the most part. Watch most of the games.

Look for me. Will do. Will do i you know what i will try to look for you because i will probably be drunk at some random cincinnati bar so i will try my best to see you now you can be cruising for chicks on tinder or what uh you know what probably not i think you know what this is the you know i kind of thought about this this is the first time i'm telling you the right please nope nope not doing that i thought about this last night this is the first time i'm telling you the right please nope nope not doing that i thought about this last night this is the first time i think i'm actually taking a trip solo by myself i mean like yeah i'm gonna be seeing family and everything but the sunday part of the trip where i'm doing

the bars in the game that's just all me by myself how much is he lying to us right now guys you know he's a i swear i mean he took that trip to Utah by himself. He also somehow made a trip back from New York by himself. He moved out to freaking Houston by himself and did a road trip out of that. Eric? Yeah, dude. I had to move everything. Is this guy scheming or is he being truthful?

Oh, he's always scheming. There's always something up with him. Oh, no. Don't you do that to me. No, you know. Come on, Tyler. We know you better than anybody. Every single time you're like, I'm just doing it myself, guys.

Nobody else. I really am doing it for myself. And then suddenly I'm on a beach and there are pictures of my feet in the water. Wasn't there something with Tyler the other day talking about a beach or wanting to go to some kind of... Oh, he wants to go to that beach menace that you went to with the planes that fly overhead yeah you guys know yeah you guys know yeah it's a beach in saint martin it's a island if you don't know in the caribbean and the planes fly right over the beach there's a bar right there you can just get drunk and just like 747s fly over your head it is super fun right so yeah like you guys know how into planes I am.

Like that is just a dream destination. You are? That is so cool. Yeah, super into planes. We've talked about this. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Because recently I even said, hey, we should all go to an air show. And Tyler was like, oh, yeah, I was going to fly in a plane.

I know. Right before COVID, we had it all set up that Tyler was going to fly in like one of these huge military planes. It's my greatest missed opportunity in the history of my life, dude. It's so sad. Freaking COVID, man. Fly, Cougar, fly. Ruined everything.

What? All right, guys. Well, I got to wrap this up. I got to take a nap. And then it is Halloween today. I got to nap. And then I got to go to the doctor because we took our blood pressure on the show. Oh, Jesus. And it raised my blood pressure and freaked me out.

And then I was like freaked out for a whole week after. Now I'm all messed up. Now I got to go to the doctor. But before that, I was all relaxed. Now I'm jacked. I still don't trust those readings. That is the one time in my life I've ever had a blood pressure taken in that spot of my arm. And I've had multiple doctors do it my entire life.

Never had it there. Yeah, but I should go to the doctor anyways because I'm a fat piece of crap. So it's a good thing that I go. And my foot has been messed up since I got shocked with that taser. That's a good reason to go to the doctor. Yeah. I feel like I broke my foot. I'm pretty sure menace rolled his ankle, which is like a two-month

injury right there where he's supposed to kind of stay off of it, elevate it. He's not doing that. I'm over at like concerts and stuff. I'm not, but just a quick reminder. I will be at norms,

maybe in a foot brace on Thursday, November 9th from four to 6 PM. It's at a brand new Hollywood location on Hollywood Boulevard. The number is 5453, 5453 Hollywood Boulevard.
