Starting point is 00:00:00 What's new, what's new with Metis? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of the What's New Podcast with Metis. I am Metis. I am joined by Bortz, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show, a boring show that you can hear across the United States. He is also joined by Eric, a.k.a. Nick Soundwave, who also works at Fox Sports. We love talking sports. That's why we started a new podcast called Tailgater Sports. You can check it out. Just search Tailgater Sports or go to tailgatersports.com. What is up, Eric? What's up, Manis? How's it going? Good. We are joined by Randy, who is a radio DJ himself, and he works on The Woody Show.
Starting point is 00:00:37 And we have our very special guest. His name is Tyler, and he was already talking to me before this podcast started on how he's going to be spending his stimulus check. And it's probably going to just be on jerseys because I guess the Falcons just dropped new jerseys. But we'll get into that later. I just want to shout out a couple of different countries. I was checking our numbers just recently and I love going over numbers and seeing who's listening to the podcast and a lot of people in Japan and in London listening to the what's new pod. So thank you for that. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Japan. Yeah, I know. We want to go so bad. Everybody on the podcast wants to go to Japan, right? Damn right. Maybe in a couple months,
Starting point is 00:01:14 maybe I've never had a desire to go to Japan whatsoever. What is wrong with you? Do not want to go to Japan. Don't have a desire. When I was a child once, a Japanese man crossed me in the streets and I've never liked Japan ever since. Wait, hold on. He just said his number one thing is I don't like earthquakes. You live in California. I did not live in California by choice. I was born here. Oh whatever dude. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Dude, shut the f up. Every week. Hold on, hold on. We need to make a list of ways Tyler's just been dumb. Every week he amazes me, man. We're, what, two minutes in and I'm already pissed? If Shohei Otani made it back for a homecoming game, the Angels are playing in Japan. Would you go watch him play? No, I'd probably catch it on my TV. Bull. BS, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:56 See, this is the stuff, man. You're so on the fence, man. Whatever way the wind's blowing, that's the way you blow, dude. You're so on the fence. I'll catch up with you. No backbone, Tyler. Okay, double down. To the way you blow, dude. You're so... I'll catch up with you. No backbone, Tyler. Okay. Double down.
Starting point is 00:02:05 To double down on it, too. Tyler is probably the second biggest wrestling fan. I'm bored, obviously. Yep. You're telling me you would not go to Japan, one of the meccas of professional wrestling and watch him wrestling. They come over here on tours all the time. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:19 No, no, no. No, it's not the same. This is it, man. It's not the same. Dude, you are a fair weather everything fan. You're such a puss. Just go to Japan, no. No, it's not the same. This is it, man. This is it. It's not the same. Dude, you are a fair weather everything fan. You're such a puss. Just go to Japan, man. Live a little.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Oh, my God. All right. To our Japanese listeners who I was trying to shout out before Tyler crapped all over you, thank you for listening. The rest of us will come and hang out anytime. Oh, dude. Yeah, robot bars, wrestling, Mario Kart in the streets, everything. I have another question then. Let's throw it out to Tyler. London, are you in or out?
Starting point is 00:02:50 I am huge on Europe. I want to do everything in Europe. I love Europe. Yeah. Let's go to the one place in the world where the sun comes out twice a year. Come on, man. All right. To our London listeners, I'm sorry. What? Okay, okay. Hold on. I would go to London. Let me rephrase that. I would go to London. But just for Tyler's choice selection, though, it doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:03:16 What makes London better than Japan? All right, I think Randy is now being the fair weather fan here, and we're going to shift all of our attack on Randy. What is wrong with you, man? London also rules. No, I would go to London. I've never said, never in what I just said, did I say I would not go to London. of our attack on Randy. What is wrong with you, man? London also rules. No, I would go to London. I've never said, never in what I just said did I say I would not go to London. I will go to London.
Starting point is 00:03:29 No problem. I have friends in England. What makes you choose London over Japan? I just, I don't know, man. I just, I've always had more of a fascination with Europe than Asia. I just like Europe more. It's a preference, I guess.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I don't know. All right. I give up on Tyler. Okay, I'm never going to shout out any other country ever again for listening to the podcast. Why? Because I want to keep the listeners. Yeah, but I mean, there's like three to four
Starting point is 00:03:54 of us here that love every other country, man. We want to go to Japan, four of us. Three of us are diehard London and England and everything over there. One of us is kind of whatever about it. But I mean, you know. Seeing a soccer game on the the or a football game on that side of the world is on my bucket list, dude. I want to see like when I want to be in like the soccer hooligan fight.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Hell yeah. Not a fight, obviously, but I want to be like in somebody where they're diehard, just diehard. Did you get like a Raider fan out here? You get like a Barcelona or wherever. I don't even know the soccer teams out there. There's so many. I want to see. I want to see something the soccer teams out there. Manchester United. I want to see something where there's an insane amount of soccer fans cheering for a 1-0 game for some reason.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I'm on Team Eric. I'd love to go watch a game. Dude, let's just go see Manchester United, the world's greatest soccer football team ever. Come on, man. So it was online and this article popped up, and it said by the year 2045, it might be possible to download your brain, your memories, everything about you and put it into another body or into a machine.
Starting point is 00:04:52 We'll talk about that in a second. But real quick, we got to shout out Blue Chew. What's up to Blue Chew? You know. BlueChew.com, proud sponsor of many podcasts involving The Woody Show and The Woody Show Podcast. And, you know, you might be spending a lot more extra time at home lately. Well, at least you should be with your significant other. And BlueChew can help you in that area.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Randy, big supporter of the BlueChew. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Big, big supporter. I'm just saying big. And Brett has always brought this up as well because if you live at home like Randy, you might not want to have a big, huge Bluetooth package show up to your house. Well, that's not what happens.
Starting point is 00:05:33 It's in a discreet bag. People have no idea what it is. All Randy has to do is get to the mailbox before his mom does and opens his mail. Did your parents do that to you? My mom would always open all his mail. Did your parents do that to you? My mom would always open all my mail. The past two packages that have been delivered to my house, my mom has not only opened them, but she's left them out in the open
Starting point is 00:05:52 and I found them in the mouth of my Rottweiler. My Rottweiler has had that in her mouth. Oh, geez. But at least she didn't eat them. Anyways, go to BlueChew.com Use the promo code Woody. It might be possible to download your brain, your memories, everything about you, and put it into another body or into a machine.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And I wanted to ask you, would you guys be down for that? Pass. No way, man. Pass? Pass. Hardcore pass. Why? That's sketchy, dude. Good question, boys.
Starting point is 00:06:21 It is sketchy. It is sketchy. The idea of all this having a finite end is a bit overwhelming. But the idea of going on sounds kind of cool. But I'm also kind of like, there's a lot of what ifs. It's just, I don't know. There's something weird about it.
Starting point is 00:06:36 It's really hard for me to put my finger on it. It's just, I don't know if I want to live forever. It's hard for you to put what's weird about downloading your brain into a robot. It's hard for you to put your finger on what's weird about that. you kidding me no no no no no no no no i wonder if it's the probing the downloading or the robot part oh okay you're totally missing what i'm trying to say it's not it's not the idea of getting into the thing that's weird it's like sure you're going on but are you conscious of the fact that you're not a human you're just you're in some like system or something you know it's that i don't know it's not the year 2045 yet i'm just saying that was the headline
Starting point is 00:07:08 no would you be down i think i'd be no no man so no eric no randy oh man i don't know yeah that's that's a hard pass not even no just me i'd be no for everybody that's when you start tempting some stuff guys you haven't seen terminators you haven't seen ais come on no so here's my reason there's two things number one i'm not special in any way nobody's gonna care if my brain gets transferred over to some robot no no no no no no no no no no no no okay listen if you are someone who's on the verge of discovering the cure for cancer or you're like on the verge of discovering like how to complete like a world peace or something like that, by all means,
Starting point is 00:07:51 please like transfer your memory, transfer everything over. But for like average Joe Schmo like me, like who cares? Nobody cares. How big do you think the flash drive would be for Tyler's brain? Minimal, minimal floppy disk.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Tyler, the question to your question is like, why would it matter though? would be for Tyler's brain. Minimal. Floppy disk. A floppy disk. I know, okay, but Tyler, Tyler, the question to your question is like, why would it matter though? If you're doing this for yourself, you're not doing this for mankind or for the world. If somebody offers you the, gives you the option,
Starting point is 00:08:15 hey, would you like to live longer by putting your brain into this robot? You're not doing it for the world. You're doing it for yourself. So why would that matter? Okay, well, that's even more kind of goes to my point. I don't care. Let me go to heaven. of goes to my point. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Let me go to heaven. Let me go to hell. I don't care. Christian boy. I think Brett is on the fence, right? You're down? Dude, one, I am incredibly down. But two, what has happened?
Starting point is 00:08:36 What did the joint fun team all of a sudden just go to down on everything? Anti-technology, I hate Japan and London. Look, I want to live forever, man. Sure, download me into a freaking robot like RoboCop 2. Download me into an Android like Star Trek. I don't give an F, man. Give me a transforming body. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:08:56 That rules. Well, see, this is Brett's dream, though. You don't know my dreams. I want to finally somewhat be a transformer. Are you kidding me? Corey's going to jump on that. Hell yeah. Why not?
Starting point is 00:09:04 I think I would be willing to try it if i'm about to die and we go look and i think there's actually um a similar thing but it's supposed to be like uh i don't know a simulation or something it's gonna be a tv show on amazon just kind of like what we're talking about right now but not exactly yeah where they don't put somebody into a machine but uh i think i'll be down to see what it was like and if it sucked i'm like all right well you know disconnect me look man i'm all down for technological advancement weird stuff all that stuff but once you start messing with human consciousness you've crossed the line and it's just gonna it's a slippery slope dude i'd like to see that you know the world not end when i'm 45.
Starting point is 00:09:51 yeah come on there was there was a movie about a decade ago about something similar to this and after seeing that i'm just not down you mean like the other movies we just mentioned about movies and they make drama for movies no but here's the thing is that like if my organs fail if my brain goes to hell just let me die too late oh my god too late yeah well like i i that's great that you don't think you're special and that randy's scared and that eric's scared but you know what man sounds kind of cool why not man like they're not saying you're gonna body snatch somebody else they're gonna make you a new body a healthier body or you're gonna get put into a robot effing rad man and i don't think of a better person that would be down for this than you or to at least try it because think about it
Starting point is 00:10:30 you want to travel around the world so you can become a robot transform and fly anywhere you want you could go around the world in one day well then i would say turn off my program because i've done everything but i think we're talking about two different things one we're talking about would you live in a simulation world yes or would you be in this world now and be a robot with all your current memories and knowledge and all that kind of stuff yes either one i would be down i'm willing to try it uh and i want to go back to Tyler saying that he's not special I saw Tyler post on Instagram he has risen
Starting point is 00:11:12 now I don't think he was referring to Easter he was referring to himself he has risen no it was definitely Easter I knew you were going to try to cover it up it was Easter man it was Easter Sunday why was there no Easter reference on there that was definitely Easter. No, come on. I knew you were going to try to cover it up. It was Easter, man.
Starting point is 00:11:28 It was Easter Sunday, the day of resurrection. Why was there no Easter reference on there? Yeah, that was weird. All he posted was he has risen. Like, you just woke up. No, no. Okay. If you're religious, like me and my family are, then you'd know that that saying he has risen
Starting point is 00:11:43 refers to when Christ rose from the dead. I am aware of that, but I thought you were speaking by yourself. No, I was definitely Tyler. Yeah. For once in a blue moon,
Starting point is 00:11:53 I think I have to take Tyler's side. I think he was referring to Jesus just this once. Randy would be correct to that assessment. You know, okay. So I could also go maybe against that though, as much as I think Tyler wants to be a good Christian boy and promote Jesus and everything about it.
Starting point is 00:12:08 I also think that maybe he had a hardcore night the night before, drinking and partying it up at his house with his girlfriend or whatever. He's like, oh, yeah, man, just like Jesus, I rose up too. No, I was getting that vibe. I was getting that vibe, guys. I'm just saying. He did also tweet about board games. So, I mean, I don't vibe, guys. I'm just saying. He did also tweet about board games. So, I mean, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:12:29 I don't know. He could have family game nights. I've risen from the ashes of board games and now the champion. Oh, okay. You all need to call Bill. I sunk the battleships. I have risen. Anyways, have anybody been invited to the new Facebook yet?
Starting point is 00:12:43 I know I showed a couple people on the podcast the new Facebook. I haven't been invited. I did like what you showed me about it, though, man. It really does have like a Twitch feel and vibe to it. So if people don't know, Facebook is going to be laying out a new layout. It does look exactly like Twitch. I love the layout because on the top it has four buttons. I wish I had five buttons.
Starting point is 00:13:02 We'll get into that but it has your home page your group page and um your regular feed like a twitch page it looked exactly like twitch first thing i thought was man mixer and twitch are gonna take a little bit of a hit mixer's gonna take a big hit but twitch like absolutely because the users are there already right they're like how much easier can i make this let me just plug in my laptop to my video game system, and I'm good to go. I told you guys this when we looked at it in the office. I had a little bit of a MySpace feel to it. It did.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Kind of like with the widgets and kind of like the flow of the screen. It was a lot less words, I guess you could say. The column structure. And way more video. Yeah, the column structure of it. So it's like there's way less to read and way more to watch and i've had a real myspace kind of feel you remember how you had like the bulletins and the comment section stuff like that like i kind of got that feel when i was looking at the layout of the new facebook i wish it had that facebook watch button on the top too because then it would
Starting point is 00:13:59 have everything you could watch tv shows then you can just scroll on over real quick over to like a Twitch layout. Then you can check your feed. It would have everything all in one. So Spicy Nacho, my fiance, she logged in. She had a Facebook Watch button on her version. So I've been trying to figure out how to get that button on top of my page so I can have, you know, all the different feeds. It would be sick. Here's a question, Menace.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Since you're all about the social media stuff, sick here's a question menace since since you're all about the social media stuff do you think that facebook is doing this for simplicity sake or do you think they're doing it to kind of draw in the younger audiences because i feel like a lot of the younger audiences although instagram is pretty much is a part of facebook they kind of gravitate more towards instagram sometimes twitter and tiktok and they kind of neglect you know facebook and stuff do you think they're doing this to make it easier to access the website, to see cool things on it? Absolutely. I think so.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I think they're going to bring in these big players online and try to do exclusive deals with them. Visually, once you see it, Randy, you'll see that it is kind of more streamlined to an Instagram visually. Dude, I'm telling you, there's way less to read and there's way more just to like jump right into streams and jump right into like visual and watching content
Starting point is 00:15:09 than as opposed to reading somebody's, you know, status update or somebody's chain message or something like that. I was going to go into another topic, but I'll jump into the one after because I didn't know we were going to talk about gaming so much. Dude, did you see about that NASCAR driver that got fired using the N-word on a live stream?
Starting point is 00:15:29 I did see that. Yeah, what an idiot. He's an idiot. What an idiot. So stupid. And the thing is, when you watch the clip of him saying it, he says it so nonchalantly, as if he doesn't realize that thousands of people are watching.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Oh, I don't think he did realize it. He's such an idiot, dude. Even the guys he was playing with they're like yo man like what are you doing say that yeah i heard i heard the feed and one of the other guys says hey you know everyone can hear you right and just hear him he's like oh yeah yeah man you can't you can't come back from oh is that how these gaming streams work people hear me oh man yeah? He had a Tyler moment. We've talked about this before where the language just flies on these streams, right? And there's no
Starting point is 00:16:11 age requirement or anything like that, right? Isn't Tyler fighting with little kids online playing Uno? Yeah, all the time. Or Monopoly. Or his big boy game, you know, Go Fish. I'm not saying that Tyler's saying that stuff, but we hear that the language just flies, you know? Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:16:28 It's been like that for years, since Xbox Live even was around, man. Halo and stuff, yeah. Yeah, like the moment that people could get online, little kids were on there, and then teenagers, and even adults, like everything was just curse words. I remember Shaz's little brother would just be yelling and cursing up a storm
Starting point is 00:16:44 and saying a bunch of stuff he shouldn't be. And we could hear it throughout the house. We're like, dude, what are you doing? He's like, I'm just doing what everyone else is doing. And that's how it is. It's crazy. You go back to those Halo 3 online game matches, Modern Warfare 2, ruthless. People were absolutely savage. That was the first, because for a lot
Starting point is 00:17:00 of people, they were in middle school. They just got a console from their parents. They got them the game. They didn't pay attention to M because what does M mean? I don't know. Play it. And you're playing with these grown ass men who are calling you all sorts of words, telling you all the things they're going to do to your mom. Randy, what was the worst thing that somebody said to you or that they were going to do
Starting point is 00:17:17 to your mom? Oh, man. It's just, it wasn't. Okay. So the first time I ever played Xbox, I was playing at a buddy's house. We were playing Halo 3 and I forgot the map, but one of the main features of the map was there's this big old machine that you kind of ride around. And there's ledges for people to snipe on. And so me being a middle schooler, I'm like, guys, look out for those snipers.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Look out for those snipers. And some dude, some grown-ass man was like, yo, shut the F up, you stupid mother effer. Quit with the snipers. I don't effing care. F you, your mom, and uh. And a bunch of stuff. This is like a long time ago. And I was just shell-shocked.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I was like, yo, is he allowed to say that to me? And my friend's like, yo. And my friend looks at me and he's like, why do you think I'm playing without a headset? So yeah, these people have been ruthless since the jump. That guy was actually me before I do Randy. And I would only imagine it's more savage when you play like PC stuff because on Xbox, you can report someone, you can do all these things.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Okay. But PC, it's no man's land. So how many reports do you get before somebody kicks you off? And what happens? Do you get suspended or do you totally get kicked off? It depends. So when I had an Xbox 360, me and my brothers all use the same account. Now, my brother, who's a little bit younger than me, has much worse of a sailor's mouth than I did.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And he would actually be the one not saying it over the mic. He would send messages to other players so that if I got reported, Xbox had like a visual representation of what was being said on my account he got my account suspended for a week i remember that back when he wrote strongly worded letters to people that would cross him oh dude he was using all kinds of words that i'm not about to repeat right now but it was it was gnarly and to go back on what randy said about the modern warfare 2 lobby i've seen so many memes nowadays where it says like kids who have grown up in this very pc cultured world there's no way they could have survived five minutes in a modern warfare 2 lobby back in the day there's no way yeah because the game chat
Starting point is 00:19:14 now is kind of played out in the sense that if you're playing a game you're typically playing with your friends and you're in a party chat yeah back then back then it was all about just random people yeah and just talking random people now it's like if i'm logging on i'm playing with my friends we're in party chat i'm not communicating with people i don't know um have any of you got your checks yet from the government i have not i have not i keep checking every day but i have not i haven't my mom's got hers though hers is pending but i haven't oh that's good for your mom's the only one yeah she's the only one that i've seen that has told me that she's got it in her account already i'm
Starting point is 00:19:47 so confused as to how they're rolling them out because somebody i know who lives in texas who's about a little younger than i am she got hers so i'm not quite sure how it's you know well i posted on the woody show instagram asking people if they got theirs yet and a ton of people said yes i referred to it a little bit earlier when we were starting the podcast that Tyler was already on the Falcons website looking at new jerseys. I guess some new logos dropped or something like that. Is that what you planned on spending your money on? Yeah, they completely redid the jerseys and the outlook, and I'm about to drop it on the freshest gear possible.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Todd Gurley just came about to buy that jersey. There's so much wrong about that statement. So much wrong. What is wrong with you? What do we want to dissect first? The sports fan part? The economic part? Or just the what are you doing part?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Jesus Christ, man. Do the sports part. No, no, no. Forget the sports part. We talked enough about that. I want to talk about the economics. But how much do you plan on dropping on Falcons gear? We will come back to that.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Don't BS. Don't BS. Dude, come on. All right. Estimate your check is what? Like, it's 1,200, right? 1,400? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Okay. 1,200. How much of that percentage? You got to think there's at least one jersey in there. He tweeted about liking one of the dumb sweatshirts that came out. So that's at least 200, 250 right there with a jersey and a sweatshirt. That's at least $250. I'm not going to buy it all up front.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I'm going to space it out. He's going to do a payment plan. Oh, wait. The wind's blowing back the other way, guys. Now he's not sold on it. Stop. The wind's blowing him the other way. You shamed him too much.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I'm going to get a jersey. A jersey and what else? A jersey and maybe a hat and i'm gonna go for the cheapest available so we'll say maybe with brand new jerseys you're gonna go for the cheapest one no way man and the jogger shorts especially when you got a free check oh yeah bro are you talking about the 2020 draft hat or like the coaches sideline hat? What are we talking about here? The 2020 draft hat actually looks pretty cool. I haven't seen Probably a hat and probably a jersey
Starting point is 00:21:57 Okay, so rough that's a rough estimate for the hat about 35 bucks Jersey a minimum of $100 All right on a fabric probably 120 solid investment though right 200 bucks solid investment considering solid investment considering they won't change these jerseys for five to ten years good god man oh yeah he'll wear it every day can we he will wear it every day though that's the problem can we segue our yelling to randy because i saw randy was freaking out about his check online. Yeah, what are you going to spend your money on, Randy? I wonder if he's like... All the savings, man.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I'm kind of played. Honestly, top of my head, I can't think of something I want to buy. I already have a Packers jersey. I already have two Ducks jerseys. I have my game consoles. I have a PC. I have games. So what are you going to do with your money?
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah. I don't know. I have to do my best to not spend it on food and stupid crap. But the thing is, at the moment, I can't think of any stupid crap that I want. Really, truthfully, I want to put into savings. I'm going to do my best. I want to. I know, but see, that's the thing, though. I can't tell you I'm not going to buy something stupid. You know how my brain works. But at the moment, I can't think of anything stupid I want. So let's just go with savings. All right. From a guy that, you know, had a serious spending problem for a while. Yeah. Here's something that I did.
Starting point is 00:23:07 And it's not smart. It's not smart. I'm putting that out there right now. But it did help me out. So if I knew, like, I would get this check for $1,200 and it would be extra on top of what I was already making, what I did was to make sure I didn't spend it, even though you're not going to earn any money on it, I opened a safe deposit box and then I just put the money in there. So I had no access to it. So when I really needed it and it was an emergency or I just need a couple extra
Starting point is 00:23:36 bucks, then it would be such a process to go to the bank and get the money out. And it worked for me. Yeah. I have a savings account that fines me after a certain amount of withdrawals. So that kind of helps deter me from taking up money. So, but I mean, safety deposit box. Hmm. I never thought about that. I'm just throwing that idea out there for people that go, you know what, even if it is an account, I'm going to transfer that money into account and spend it anyways. You know, the safety deposit box. That's a, that's a good idea. I've never thought about that before. That's really solid. Yeah. It's not a bad idea, though. I was going to buy an actual Falcon. When I was a 1099 worker,
Starting point is 00:24:10 I had to save all my own money for my taxes at the end of the year. Oh, that's terrible. Oh, dude, it was bad, man. So I would take about 10% to 15% of every check. I would cash it, and I'd put it in a Dropbox somewhere in my house that was locked up and just say, okay, this is for the taxes at the end of the year. So I knew I couldn't touch it. I would open that box so quick.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Oh, dude, I kept it locked, man. But you know what's scary? Walking about $2,000 to $3,000 to a money order place to send your taxes off. Yes. Yeah, not to suck the air out of the room, man, but I do plan on using a significant amount of my check to pay bills off. Oh, really? Not by jerseys? No, not jerseys, not jerseys. No, I am kind of smart.
Starting point is 00:24:50 At least I try to be smart with my money when I have to be. Some politicians are trying real hard to stop the government from like, I guess, collections were trying to take the checks before they got to the people for the debt, which would be something like the IRS will do that to you too. If you get a tax refund and they know that you owe money they'll take that money well so interesting fact about that so i've talked to the guys about this so i'm trying to pay off some of my student loan debt right so that started you know collecting last year towards the end last year so i was originally trying to get something set up before i did my taxes but with all this quarantine stuff it was taking off my books so now i don't have it on my records technically at the moment as owed.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So I'm like, okay, well now I don't have to wait to try to get my taxes figured out after getting some kind of payment plan set up before and them to just, you know, because that's what I was worried about was them just taking it. Just taking it all. Yeah, because it's technically taken or owed to the government. Like the statewide, they took some of my money last year because I owed like $25 for an outchecked book at my college, dude. Not even joking. Not even joking. I owed some like random
Starting point is 00:25:49 ass fee. And I was like, why did they take out like 30, 40 bucks? And it was some money I owed my school's library. Yeah. And they'll take it, man. They'll find it and they'll take it. If you owe money, they'll do it. But if they owe you money, uh, no, I no. I remember, you know, I shared this on the Woody Show before, but when I was living in my car, I didn't pay my taxes, and I eventually, like, the government owed me money. They never sent me a letter or anything like that or found me to tell me that they owed me money. But when you owe them money, oh, my God, they're going to blow you up.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Brett, what are you spending your money on? I think I'll take, like, a small percentage and have some fun with it or maybe buy some new gear. You know, we're trying to do a lot of stuff from home now. And I'm actually trying to figure out a way to do some online streaming stuff. So maybe I can invest and like play some video games, make some money. I don't know. But same thing as Soundwave, man. Dude, I have debt that's going up.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I'm going to use it. I got to get this stuff down before that credit card interest kicks in. Surprising. The two guys that, you know, obviously Menace does too. The two guys that live on their own and not with their parents and family are talking about bills. While the rest are talking about games and jerseys. I know. Why didn't I bring up games?
Starting point is 00:27:00 I said I want to save my money, guys. Quit trying to pick me up in the same brush as Tyler. Dude, I got this new alien weird laptop Like Tyler at least when you cry about being broke you can cry in your brand new jersey man look fresh as hell Oh hell yeah, bro as Tyler was getting all that crap All I could hear was Randy in the background taking things out of his cart on Amazon and like Edition of this Funko should be taken back. We should take a look at
Starting point is 00:27:27 each other's Amazon card sometime. You know how like sometimes when you're about to buy something, you can press the save for later option. It kind of gets stored somewhere. I don't do that. I have no Amazon card. Sorry, guys. I actually don't either now. I actually put it in my wish list for later. Yeah. The last item that I bought, and I think I brought
Starting point is 00:27:43 it up on the podcast, where I was never cover the camera guy on my laptops. You know, people put stickers over the cameras and stuff like that. The last product I got on Amazon, it was this $8 thing. It's a three-pack where it's like a little piece of metal that goes over it
Starting point is 00:28:00 and it has a latch where you can swipe it on and swipe it off. Oh, yeah. I have that. The thing rules. I feel like I'm the only person that doesn't put something over the camera. Am I messing up by not doing that? No, no, no. I put one over the work one that we have at home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I mean, that's the whole reason I started doing it because the IT guy was like, just remember, we can see everything you're doing. I go, oh, really? And that's the thing, dude. That's the thing. On my personal one, I could care
Starting point is 00:28:25 less of some random government guys watching me whatever but i don't want some somebody from work randomly looking in on me that's the weird part as long as i don't know you in the world whatever dude same thing like government pressing my phone whatever what are they gonna find you know whatever yeah but somebody from work yeah somebody from work like what if i you know our what if our boy clint was like hey came up to one of you guys. Dude, you accidentally turned on your camera the other day and I saw you butt naked or something. Like, that's a little weird.
Starting point is 00:28:51 That's a little weird. One of the Walmart CEOs, he said the second wave of panic buying right now is hair dye. Like, dye for people's beards and people's hair. And I believe it. Have you checked out some of these famous people online jesus dj khaled yeah he looks like the one i saw yesterday yeah man he looks bad so he said yeah that's what people are clearing the shelves for right now which i find kind of
Starting point is 00:29:18 weird though because i mean obviously he might be doing it because you know he has kids or maybe he has older people in the house but if you're someone as wealthy as dj DJ Khaled, you would think you could get somebody to come cut your hair. He doesn't want more people in his house. Maybe he's freaked out about that. But the other thing is hair dye wasn't on everybody's priority list when they were first doing all their buying, getting supplies for their house. And then they realized, oh, wait a minute, I should have got that.
Starting point is 00:29:41 They also say in the news that there might be some meat shortages coming soon because people bought so much. Also, a big, huge meat packing plant got shut down because 250 workers got the virus. So I know Brad is like, hey, guys, time to go vegan. Suckers. I'm going to outlive all you guys now. I will risk death and eat the red meat. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Well, no, man. It's just not getting shipped. It's not getting made. I will risk death and eat the red meat. I'm good. Well, no, man. It just started getting shipped. It's not getting made. I mean, the cool... Thanks for paying attention, Tyler. Thanks. No, no, I heard that. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I'm just saying. Well, hey. Saying what? Like, I'm just saying. Like, I'll risk death and, you know, eat red meat before I go vegan. That's not happening. Was it the story, bro? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Oh, my God. Tyler, you can't risk your life if there's no meat to eat. See? Not paying attention. Oh, my God. He's just going to cannibalize. The meat wasn't contaminated, bro. The people were sick.
Starting point is 00:30:31 God. He's just going to cannibalize. And they can't make it. He's just going to cannibalize one of his brothers, man. That's what he's talking about. He's like, screw it. I'm just going to risk eating all my brothers alive. I don't care anymore.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Dude, but great option, though, man. Some of the vegan meat is really, really good. Oh, man. Impossible meat beyond meat. I can't believe I'm option though, man. Some of the vegan meat is really, really good. Oh, man. Impossible meat beyond meat. I can't believe I'm saying this, guys, but over the weekend, and Bort knows this, I went to a certain establishment that specializes in only vegetarian products. Veggie group. I had myself a veggie fried chicken sandwich.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Not bad, guys. Not bad. Yeah, some of the stuff. Not bad. I told you, I went vegetarian for a year. It was easy It was super easy A lot of flavor comes from vegetables
Starting point is 00:31:09 Like if rice, beans, all that sort of bunch I can do that Just the idea of going completely vegan I just never understood A vegan or vegetarian Can call something a vegan chicken sandwich I think they're just doing that for marketing purpose Well yeah obviously
Starting point is 00:31:23 But still like if it's vegan, there's obviously no chicken. That's always been my high thought with that stuff around that. That's a big beef, get it? Big beef with the meat coalition or something like that where they're mad
Starting point is 00:31:39 at Impossible Burger or something like that because they use the word beef in there. Man, people are always going to be mad about something. Be grateful you at least have something to eat that supports your cause. What else would you call it, though? I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Well, that's the opposite side of Beyond Burger. Yeah, they're not crying about that. They're crying about the use of the marking. That's why you said they put in the chicken and the beef into it when obviously it's nothing, like neither one of them, but they need to put it in there to make the appeal for people to cross over like that. That's why they have beef with it.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Taking money out of their pockets. Morning Start, who just went full vegan with all their fake meat products or soy meat products, they actually have different phrasing for everything. Instead of chicken, they spell it chick with apostrophe N. Or the burgers, they just call them grillers instead of burgers so like they have different ways to actually try to stray away from even saying any kind of meat
Starting point is 00:32:33 product so the state of california said that they were pushing back stay at home restrictions to may 15th i know universal studios hollywood and cityalk, right from where we're home-based, they're going to be closed until May 31st. I don't know what the most recent update is, but Woody tweeted out that if it got open today, let's say everything just opened up, even though we don't have a vaccine or a cure yet, would you go out and about? Would you go to concerts? Would you go to restaurants? What would you do? Nah, I wouldn't. I mean, it's just,
Starting point is 00:33:09 you have to, you know, they've been pushing it a lot on the news about the potential for a second wave, third wave. So it's kind of like be cautious and go out there, you know, because anyone with the right mind is going to know it's not just going to vanish in thin air. You know what I mean? Plus the whole, like the financial thing, like this last month we've been really trying to save money. And now it's like, okay, let me spend all this money on this or that. So me personally, I probably wouldn't go out for a little while, to be honest. Once I get the okay, man, I'm out. I'm ready. Like if it's okay, like obviously I know there's going to be some, you know, blowback or whatever, but if, if the government gives me the okay, I'm out of here, man. I had my first antsy Friday last week.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Yeah, really? Where I was like kind of not really like going crazy or anything, but I was like kind of pacing. Dude, I can only play so many video games. I can only do so much. I'm in an apartment. I'm not in a house like some other people in the world. I'm in an apartment with roommates.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I don't have a yard. I can only go for so many walks around my block you know i don't think it's like the government saying it's okay it's just saying hey you know what the economy is just gonna crash and burn if people don't get outside we don't have a cure for this thing yet just go out and see what happens are you down with that yeah i am i am i'm sorry guys i am i mean i've been very much the the like hey you know it's it's stuff happens you know we can't just hide from it i mean i would be out in the world dude i need sun i yeah i'm actually gonna sketchy you can't deny that it wouldn't be a little sketchy you know it would be a little sketchy but i'm gonna agree with eric on that you can't live in fear that like oh
Starting point is 00:34:43 this virus might kill me or whatever like you can't just let that stuff take a control of you to where you just border yourself up inside your house, like a hermit, like go out, do something. I mean, there's plenty of places that you can go to once this thing is all over where you can still maintain the six feet of distance. If that really bugs you, you can go to the park, you can go to the beach, just do something to get yourself out of your house. I just think that, yes, I would love to do all this kind of stuff. Do I think I'm going to get super sick? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I'm not in the best shape ever of my life. It is a risk. Other people will definitely get sick because maybe I'm spreading everything everywhere. I would love for it just to have a cure tomorrow or a vaccine. They said that vaccine or cure would probably be 12 to 18 months from now. So I'm not down with the economy crashing either. So I think, oh man, it's a tough decision or a tough thing to answer, I think guys I'm going outside. I don't care anymore.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I like, look, I'm a, I'm a Homer. I love staying home. I love being away from people, but I also like going out and doing stuff and experiencing everything. So I'm going to my favorite bar.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I'm going to drink myself ish list. I'm going to go to a concert cause I have multiple tickets that have been postponed. I am not missing Ramstein in September. I'm going to go, I'm going to rock out. I'm going to go to effing Disneyland cause I still have days on my pass for that have been postponed. I am not missing Ramstein in September. I'm going to go. I'm going to rock out. I'm going to go to effing Disneyland because I still have days on my pass for that.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Screw it. Let's just go. Come on. How long do you think it's going to be until as a society we go back to, you know, like we want to be back home? Not necessarily like in quarantine, but you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:19 Like people would go out and be like, oh man, I just want to go home. And everyone's like, oh, I just want to go outside. Do you think we'll ever go back to being in that sort of state of mind? I would say a year, year and a half. A year and a half. We'll just get bored of being out like, ah, man, I want to go home.
Starting point is 00:36:31 You know, even though now it's like I just want to be outside sort of thing. Yeah, because introverts for right now, they're saying like, oh, I want to go outside. I want to see all my friends. I would think that they'll be like that for two weeks and then they'll want to go back inside. First full week back at work. Everyone wants to go be at home, man. Yeah. I think it's, you know, people are just acting that way because they're being told.
Starting point is 00:36:51 You know, people are very defiant, you know. They're being told to stay home. So that's why they're acting this way. Did you see in the news recently that, I guess, in San Francisco, they busted, like, an illegal nightclub? And they have video of all the people coming in and the cars leaving like i saw that and i thought to myself this would never happen unless like you said people will have the urge to be defiant and then you think about things like that it's like why would you be compelled this much to go to a nightclub like an illegal nightclub do you really need to be out that badly you know i've been to
Starting point is 00:37:23 illegal nightclubs in san francisco before the quarantine but yeah why would you risk doing that it's just because people want to be defiant they want to be on the gram and say hey look what i'm doing didn't an nfl player just get busted like ezekiel elliott yeah i think it was ezekiel elliott and dac prescott had a party with a bunch of people over and someone called the cops on them they They had a buffet. Hey, man. That's a party I want to be at. I mean, oh, now Tyler wants to go out, man. He's like, oh, there's a buffet. I'm there, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:52 There goes the wind blowing that way. Now he's back out in the world. Okay, okay. I mean, if you're anybody, if you're anyone or if you had to be someone to get sick, I'm pretty sure your best scenario would be an NFL player because you're the best suited to take on something like this. Yeah, but you're risking millions of dollars. Oh, yeah. No denying millions of dollars. That's why we
Starting point is 00:38:12 always said this thing on the Woody show. Now that you know, I think people in the NFL can smoke weed before that, though. Just don't smoke weed for five years and you're going to be a millionaire. You know, that game that you always wanted to play your entire life as a kid and you wanted to be a superstar in the NFL and all you got to do is not smoke weed? Don't do it. Look, I love weed.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I love it. I love it. But if it said, hey, you know what? You're going to be an NFL superstar and you're going to get paid millions of dollars. All you got to do is not smoke weed and get in trouble. You know what? I'm not going to be an NFL superstar and you're going to get paid millions of dollars. All you got to do is not smoke weed and get in trouble. You know what? I'm not going to smoke weed.
Starting point is 00:38:50 And it's so funny because if you were to ask anybody who loves weed or loves a certain thing, like, okay, what would it take for you to stop smoking? They'd probably be like, uh, pay me a lot of money. So it's like, here's all your money and you get to play the sport you love. Yeah. Don't smoke weed. So going back to the virus stuff forget you even getting sick you're upsetting people in general who have to stay home who are your fans and you're
Starting point is 00:39:13 risking losing sponsors and losing money and i and i stay home i think athletes haven't necessarily been super clear at least the athletes who've been infected in regard in regards to what happens when when they do get infected. Like, cause when we see videos of them, they're like, Oh, I'm doing fine. I'm doing good. Thanks for checking on me. I'll be okay. I have mild symptoms or whatever. But then you hear stories of people like Donovan Mitchell from the Utah jazz, who says that he no longer wants to speak to Rudy Gobert because Rudy Gobert got him sick. So it's like, if, if it was just a mild cold and not that serious, what is it that compelled him to just never want to speak to that guy again? I mean, granted, obviously if anyone gave me coronavirus, that'd be pretty effing annoying.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I'd be mad at them, but you know, you're still putting yourself and your health at risk and jeopardizing your career. So it's not a smart move. I don't know, man. Every single time one of us gets each other sick on the Woody show, like behind the scenes, I want to kill all you guys. I mean, every single time Randy gives me a cold, I'm like, you know what? Let's just throw him out of the building.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Screw him. He got me sick. I can confirm that's happened multiple times because Randy just blows snot rockets into a tissue and shoots it like he's Kobe into the trash can. Thank you. I have another question. It has to do with quarantine. Are you guys having the quarantine dreams that people are talking about?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Like, are you remembering your dreams way more than usual? I can confirm, yes, I am. Oh, God, of course you can. Tell me more, Tyler. No, the only one I can remember for right now is I had some weird little, like,
Starting point is 00:40:38 Dr. Dolittle dream where I could randomly talk to this golden retriever, and I took him on a random tour of Disneyland. I don't know why, but that's what happened. And that's all I remember. Nice. You should pitch that movie to him. Write it up.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Punch it up. Definitely not. The golden retriever in Disneyland. That would be massive. At least for Disney+. I'll think about it. I'll think about it. Come on.
Starting point is 00:41:01 That was the morning that Tyler woke up and said, He is risen. I have had the dream of risen. Relax. The next big hit on Disney Plus, Golden Retriever and me. I'm going to be a millionaire. Hold on.
