He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show, a boring show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on the Woody Show podcast. We are joined by our friends Eric and Randy, who are coming to us live from Downey, California.

And joining us a little bit later would be our lovely friend, Julie Ann, when she has to drop off her kids, not referring to taking a dump, actual kids. And then Tyler cannot join us today, unfortunately. Because he is dropping off the kids. Yeah, for real. And not at school. Yeah. Just recap real quick, big Super Bowl weekend.

It was awesome. I got to spend time with eric in new orleans that was so much fun eric did you enjoy me staying there or did i annoy you i'll bring up a story i want to see if i annoyed you or not but no it was it was fun bunking together it was it was good to hang out with you on the road um it was good to like have you know take you to something for once. We went to the Madden Bowl party on Friday night. Yeah. And it was wild.

Tag along on that. Because part of the group that came with us was legendary eater Joey Chestnut. Yeah. And that was an experience. It was, you know, stories off the podcast. But he sent vibrations through the city of New Orleans. Everywhere you went, everybody had a Joey Chestnut story. Dude, he lit it up.

And it was funny, you know, I don't know if you got some of the conversations because I got to spend time with Joey and just ask him about technique and preparing for competitions. Did you catch what I started talking to him about? You were going in on the bagels. Yeah. How they're like fried or steamed before they're fried or something yeah because um i knew his last competition was the bagel eating contest at this bagel place in vegas that i actually i've always wanted to try it's outside the convention center and it's um slipping my mind right now what the name of the place is but i know that he just recently won a contest

there and i was like oh my god joeyesta, who would have thought that would be going to a party with him? So I started asking him about like, how do you even prepare for that? Was it difficult because the density of the bagels? And he's like, tell me how this bagel place does their bagels. And he told me that he like practiced like two days before. And I'm like, really? Like you, you don't feel like messed up

he's like nah man i gotta practice before every competition and i go who knew so a lot of fun facts and we got to go to that man party and we saw shabuzy and jelly roll and it was such a good time when i say like joey chestnut is a different level of celebrity than i thought i i understood yeah you were shocked. And I was like, I'm not shocked. He was stopped at least 20 times in the venue, on the walk from our hotel to the venue. We're at a party.

Dak Prescott, Kurt Warner, Lou Keekly, John Hamm, Miles Teller. Joey Chestnut's the one getting pictures taken. Yeah, everybody's freaking out that he's there. It was insane. He's like convention level famous. Like everyone sees him and there's no reason to not like joey chestnut so yeah oh my god is that joey chestnut and eric kept on asking me like you would recognize joey chest well i'm really good at that no matter what level of fame i'll be able to tell you who the person is but eric was really

shocked on the amount of like people in the general public just knew what he looked like and i go oh that's just some dude some popular guy in the general public just knew what he looked like and i got dude oh that's just some dude some popular guy in the crowd and then i'm like oh maybe after that i'd kind of look at him and see but like if i were walking across down canal street there's a super bowl weekend going on around me i'm not going to be like out of the club joey i feel like everybody there though for the most part probably watches a lot of espn and the hot dog contest is always on ESPN, right? Like ESPN 2 or something?

It's true. And then I told Eric his last big competition was on Netflix. Yeah, that's right. So a lot of people know what he looks like. But yeah, that was super fun. And then the next day, Eric and I got to enjoy a lovely breakfast together. Oh, wow. In New Orleans.

What do we have? Wait, you had chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles. And I had chicken and biscuit. Barbecue shrimp toast. Yes. And it was like toast with like melted cheese on top with barbecue shrimp. Like a gravy almost.

Oh, yeah. Eric was sending us photos of like alligator dogs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was before I got there. Alligator sausage was at the superdome on super bowl sunday oh really oh okay the only venue i've ever been to that smells like fish when you walk in it was insane yeah every other stand was a fish something or other

it's so weird alligator cheesecake nice jockey mose over by tulane university that was so good i had alligator like four or five times over the weekend that's awesome is it is it true what they say like it tastes like chicken or is it? Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say it has any like, it was good. It's like a, it's like a, like a sour chicken almost. It's like ground together. It's not like you're eating like, I'm sure you can get like jerky or whatever. I did have a question though about you guys staying in Nola together.

Yes. We never got the update on the room situation. Did you guys sleep nuts to butt? I mean, I wish, but I got there and Eric already got the update on the room situation. Did you guys sleep nuts to butt? I mean, I wish, but I got there and Eric already got the room with two beds in it. Yeah, two beds. It was weak. Now, this is the part I wanted to bring up. Did I annoy you?

Because, okay, so Saturday morning, Eric and I, we had breakfast, but then we had to break apart. I had to go do the TCL meetup with a bunch of Woody Show listeners, and that was awesome. Thank you to everybody that came out and hung out with a TCL televisions and myself, Eric, you had to go do, you know, your prep for the super bowl and other things.

And after that, I think we had dinner real quick, right? We went to Willie's fried chicken spot. I visited the super dome and then like, I stayed at the bar for a little bit and then you were editing your social stuff yeah cross pass on the way out and we went to willie's chicken chicken shack on canal street and that was really really good but then i had to ditch you real quick because i had to go to the burke christian event but this is the part that i wanted to ask you if

i annoyed you so you know i was hanging out till like 1 a.m and i get back to the hotel room you're already there and you're like kind of sleeping. You're halfway awake. And then, you know, I already had like a couple of beers. I'm hanging out with Bert. And I kept on asking you questions like all night. And I go, what do you think Randy's doing right now? What do you think Tyler's doing right now? And then I had an answer. Yeah. Well, because I go, do you think they're tripping off the PlayStation thing right now? And then you said, funny, you say that. Yeah. It's like, what are what they're tripping off the playstation thing right now and then you said funny you say that yeah it's like wondering what they're doing and i was like literally probably 20 minutes before that randy sent a text message to us said so weird like all my professional like colleagues are either like posted about being at the super bowl or at some

madden event and i'm sitting here playing whatever game he was playing on Xbox. Literally everybody I knew, they're at the Super Bowl or near something Super Bowl adjacent. So I was living vicariously through you guys. So thank you for posting. Yeah, and we were just sitting in the hotel room just talking about you guys. That's how it be sometimes, man. Everyone wonders like, oh man, they're probably doing something crazy. They're probably like hanging out with celebrities and they're just sitting in a hotel room being like,

what do you think Tyler's doing right now? What are the Safari boys up to? Legit, was I keeping you up, Eric, or no? No, not really. Because I was having trouble sleeping that night anyways because, you know, night before the Super Bowl, brains rambling on and all that stuff. I hadn't even really fallen asleep until you got home at about like 12.30, 1 o'clock.

Yeah. Best part was you're like, hey, okay, sorry, man. I'm going to get right to bed. And then you just kept kind of pacing back and forth. Talking to me a little bit more. Well, I was pacing because I was already packing because I was leaving in like three hours. I only slept like three hours and then

I went back to the airport and flew back to LA. Oh, I've experienced that menace before. Yeah. You guys seem to be really big fans of sort of like just staying up late and flying out early. Well, when it works, it's a great plan. The menace has worked perfect. When mine fell apart on me, it was a disaster. Not good.

Yeah, same. It sucked. Now let's talk about the actual Super Bowl itself. I loved it, and I know that it was a complete pretty much blowout, but I actually enjoyed it because of that i a lot of people are like oh the game was boring and i was just entertained on how shocking the eagles dominated the kansas city chiefs and how mahomes was just like on his back the entire time and i i actually found it enjoyable even though i kind of was rooting for the chiefs but i was in awe on how

much the eagles were just dominating did you enjoy the game or did you feel a different way it was a blast i mean just because i mean if it was the other way around where the chiefs were blowing out the eagles it probably would have sucked a little bit more but i mean being in the stadium it was a party like the eagles i'm gonna have that stupid chant engraved in my mind for the next like 10 years that go birds yeah echoes in my brain nightly still but it was a party by the time it was what like they're up at 24 0 30 something zero they're already celebrating right dude they just got louder and louder and it just felt like the chiefs fans just cowering like little puppies it was it was obnoxious at some point they're mocked they're doing the tomahawk chop like the Chiefs fans just cowering like little puppies. It was obnoxious at some point.

They were doing the tomahawk chop, mocking the Chiefs fans in the stadium. End of the third, I was like, you guys got to get out of here, dude. These Philly fans are going to tear you apart. Oh, for sure. For sure. Dude, I have experienced Philly fans once in my life. Back when the Chargers played at Dignity Health Park, we went. I went to go see a game there.

Funny enough, two rows behind me in this sort of sweet thing was uh old our old pd mike kaplan and he started heckling him he showed up in the saints dirty for some reason and they were like oh go birds and he's like all right all right all right but they're merciless yeah they're sharks bro if they smell blood it's over yeah it's a wrap but oh i took my family to a 49ers game versus eagles that was a bad idea because my family loves talking smack and i go these eagles people don't play around dude they're gonna beat your ass so eric and i used to have an old co-worker who was uh really big into the eagles he's from he's from the area and we would always bring up the story of how a couple years ago on Christmas,

there was a Christmas game or near Christmas, and Eagles fans started throwing batteries at a Santa Claus for some, I think because he came in, I think it was like Vikings-colored Santa gear, and they just started throwing crap at him. Yeah, man, Philly fans, they don't mess around. Yeah. I tried to do a power rankings, like top three on the Woody show, and I said, for craziness, I put Eagles number one.

Number two, I put Bills. And I tried to put number three, Raiders. But they said that the Raiders, since they moved to Vegas, they're too bougie now. Yeah, the Bills and Eagles fans are different kinds of crazy, though. Yeah, for sure. Eagles fans are like, they'll tear down your city and stab you. Like, those fans just have drinks and like, you know. I don't think B Eagles fans are like, they'll tear down your city and stab you. Those fans will just have drinks and invite you to the tailgate. I don't think Bills fans

will burn down the city. No, they're more like frat bro party types. They'll shake hands and be like, this was a great moment. Absolutely. Let's get drunk. Philly fans are like, yo, let's blow something up. I think they would set every table on fire and then jump through it as they're drinking beers, but that's the most

that they would do. Yeah. Raiders fans have gotten soft like they're they're corpo now it's tough it's tough to be a hard raiders so who would you put in that third spot oh man let me think that's tough because there's so many categories you can take into account i suppose just based off a sheer amount of numbers and delusion i'd put the cowboys i'd really like to put the jets because the jets are a different level of crazy they're're just delusional and annoying. But I'm talking about partying. I mean, being in the city, obviously it wasn't for a Saints game,

but everything I heard was New Orleans is popping because it's right in the middle of where the hub is. Yeah. I have seen that. I wouldn't disagree. I just haven't experienced it. I would like to be there for an actual Saints game versus the Super Bowl. I can't even call the college teams't experienced it. I would like to be there for an actual Saints game versus like the Super Bowl.

I can't even call the college teams because there's so many on a different level that I couldn't even probably come up with a top three. Yeah, that's a complete untapped world. Kansas City apparently always has good tailgates from what I've heard. All right. Barbecue, you know, it's big. What do you guys think of the halftime show? Dude, I enjoyed the pacing. I get it wasn't like high tempo or maybe like someone was expecting more high energy, but

I just, I'm a fan of Kendrick, so I enjoyed it. Yeah, I think it was directed beautifully. How everything was synced together was awesome. My only criticism was the first song, like the intro part was too down tempo. But once that was over, like it was incredible all the way until the end. All the like, you know, the Easter eggs and things like that was awesome. Eric, you were inside the stadium. Was the stadium loud and wild or did it just seem loud and wild on television?

Because, you know, they always turn up the turn up the mics on TV. Dude, they turned up the mics in stadium. It was loud. There was a point where I was trying to videotape something and the bass was so loud, it was vibrating my phone. Like it was so freaking loud. But no, it was it was loud. There was a point where I was trying to videotape something, and the bass was so loud, it was vibrating my phone. It was so freaking loud. But no, it was cool. Everybody screamed A minor, which you expect. But it was good.

I mean, people are hating on it because they're like, oh, we got pulled into a beef that we don't care about. It's like, dude, that's all you guys talked about for like seven months. Yeah, it was the record of the year. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I liked it. Yeah, them talking about after the game kind of, that means it stuck with you which means they did a good job plus i think the whole theme of the performance with samuel jackson like everyone that was complaining about it was just

kind of like so you're doing exactly what i was saying you were gonna do in the performance the breakdowns are crazy it was really It was really, really good. They're fascinating. Some of the whites, though, are like, oh, yeah, America. You see the flag? That's what I'm saying, dude. Hell yeah, brother. I love it. Wait a second. My other thing is commercials. Now, Eric, you probably didn't really get to experience any of the commercials.

Randy, Brett, I'm not even asking you questions. I assumed you didn't even watch the Super Bowl. My favorite parts of the Super Bowl were Eric's updates on social media. So the rain coming down, him having to scramble everything. That's my favorite part of the Super Bowl were Eric's updates on social media. So the rain coming down, him having to scramble everything. That's my favorite part of the Super Bowl. My favorite commercial, and Randy, if you have one, please chime in. My favorite commercial is not really getting a lot of love, but I'm seeing it on all the recaps as the main image on all these websites

when it comes to Super Bowl commercials, was the Seal Mountain Dew commercial with Becky G. That's my favorite one. I love that one. That was so good. That was amazing. But all the commercial experts are hating on it for some reason.

Because they don't get it. They didn't. Shut up. Because you know why? Because they didn't even understand that Seal being a seal has been a meme for the past seven years. Yeah. And they just made that meme come to life in the commercial.

They're just a bunch of dorks. It was done perfectly. The execution was fantastic. The song, the integration of Baja blasts into the lyrics, Seal being an actual seal, and then finishing the commercial talking about the seal. Dude, that was 10 out of 10. I got to say, this year was a bit disappointing on commercials.

I wasn't really that blown away. But the Seal one, by far, was my favorite one. So I'm glad we're on the same page here. Yeah, I loved it. Sounds like some Seal inception going on there. You have to look up this commercial. Dude, you got to watch it. It's so good.

I mean, Mountain Dew's always been good at making good commercials. Back to when they did the Monkey Baby one. That one stuck with me for years. That's a classic. The Seal one will stick around for a while. That's a classic. Hell yeah. I can see what'll stick around for a while too. Puppy monkey baby. For sure.

I mean, I feel like the internet loved the commercial, but the so-and-so experts when it comes to commercial marketing, they didn't get it. Whatever. I mean, that's why. Because they suck and they're dumb. Well, because that's why a lot of commercials don't hit because apparently all these people are experts and they made the commercials and they suck. So why listen to them?

It's kind of like listening to movie critics. Just kind of come up with your own. Yeah. Just come up with your own outlook on things real quick. Now that the Superbowl is over, March is ramping up and March is busy. People, a lot of things going on.

Damn right. Major announcement though. Next week, Friday, February 21st, on The Woody Show. You're going to want to tune in because there is a major, major, major announcement for a huge event involving The Woody Show. And you're going to be able to be a part of it, and it's going to be super exciting.

After that, though, myself and Bortz, we're going to be at Stater Bros March 1st in Garden Grove from 1 to 3 p.m. That is on a Saturday. You're definitely going to want to come out for that and check this out. Some other people I've been wanting to work with for a really long time. The very next weekend, March 8th, I'm going to be at WSS, the shoe store. Finally. I have

been trying to work with them forever and I'm so excited. I'm going to be in Lomita from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. That is March 8th. That is a Saturday. Now you're asking like, wait a minute, Menace, you've been talking on this podcast. How are you going to be in Las Vegas that weekend for UFC?

I can do both. They have airplanes so I'm going to fly in that morning on Saturday, even though I'm going to be in Vegas the day before for Power Slap. The next morning, I'm going to fly to Long Beach real quick, going to do this meetup, and then I'm going to hop back on the plane and go to UFC. So I will still be in Vegas. We're going to be out there as well. Then on March 15th, don't forget there is the Brew Ha Ha Productions. There's Lucky Punk, which is a beer fest, and it's going to

have Bad Religion, and they're going to have one of Bort's favorites, the Aquabats. In the building. Yeah, hell yeah. Super cool pool party. Hell yeah. So if you want to get some tickets to that, Brew Ha Ha Productions, I will be there. brouhaha productions, I will be

there. But earlier in that day, I will be in Dallas at the St. Patrick's Day parade. So the Lucky Punks is in Silverado, California. I'll be there later in the evening, but that morning I will be in Dallas for the St. Patrick's Day parade. So look for me on the 97.1 Eagle float. You're literally going to be on a float and then you're gonna be at this pug fest i know you're a madman dude yeah do you collect collect like the the miles the air miles or do you see like cheapest flight available no i i get miles i don't i mean i don't know i have my travel agent spicy nacho she figures all that stuff out she uses so many miles she uses my miles hearing your travel plans and plans, we briefly alluded to your coming home

and then my coming home, how they're vastly different. The whole staying up overnight and then just getting on a plane. I wrapped at the Superdome at 1.30 at a 6 a.m. flight. So I was like, hey, let's go have a beer at the bar. Just go straight to the airport.

Well, that plan vastly, quickly blew up my face when I was there for nine hours of delays. Up for 35 hours. Got sick hours of delays. Oh, no. Not for 35 hours. You always got sick in the airport. Oh, no. Yeah, so hearing your plans in the next, like, the jet-setting march you're doing, I'm like,

God, that sounds horrible. Always get the first flight out, man. Well, Eric, you heard that. The first flight out became the 13th flight out. It was ridiculous. Well, Eric, don't send me photos and updates. And my heart broke for Eric because that sounded absolutely awful. And I'm still sick from it.

I don't know if you can hear. Oh, no. That's why I named you Still Sicky Poppy this week. It's been a whirlwind of like two weeks. It's ridiculous. One last thing. And March 21st, I'll be back in Vegas for the Burt Kreischer show at Resorts World. If you've been listening to the Woody show, we give away trips all week long.

It's going to be fun. He is going to be at Resorts World March 21st and 22nd. So if you'd love to see Bert Kreischer, go ahead and do that. And this weekend, upcoming weekend, February 21st and 22nd, our guy Gabriel Iglesias, Fluffy,

is going to be in the Bay Area. He's going to be in San Jose on the 21st and then San Francisco on the 22nd. I would love to see you guys there because I'll be there as well. I want to talk movies real quick. Dude, Port. Yes. What the hell is going on? Captain America Brave New World is getting destroyed on the critics.

What's going on? Red Hulk. Again, man, critics. Are you really going to listen to them? It's a superhero movie. You know what you're going to get. It's Marvel standard. Here's the superhero.

Here's the guy who's going to become the villain. He's the villain now. Battle ensues. Life lesson is learned. Hero wins. It's the same formula. Go watch it and enjoy it. It's just that there's been so many superhero movies and i've said this for a few years now too many burnout they're done you got to move on from

it yeah you know like it's it looks dope though it has harrison ford i like the trailer yeah it looks great i'm excited for it i saw the trailer for uh thunderbolts yeah that looks fun yeah i'm excited for that but man you just can't listen to these critics anymore man you just gotta go watch it for yourself and by the way who are these critics like have you looked into them half the time it's just like oh this person that kind of writes for this one website every once in a while always give good reviews to movies where they get sent somewhere and put up in a hotel and then and then when they don't always the snooze fest yeah i've tried dude i literally so i have been trying to like broaden my horizons

in like movies and stuff. And so I've been getting a lot of like film TikToks and I'm watching a lot of these like critically acclaimed movies, dude, like 80% of them effing suck. They're so slow. There's nothing going on. And there's just, it's like 40 minutes of dialogue and then something happens.

And then another 60 minutes of dialogue. That's like the new style. Agreed. Nothing happens. It's brutal. And then nothing is lit up. Everything is dark. You have to squint and look at the TV. I'm like, what am I watching? You should start a blog about it.

And then get invited to things. And then suddenly, you know, he's getting flown to Europe and they're like, oh, I love this movie. I love this movie. Three weeks later, what a terrible movie. No wonder it bombed. Who the hell is Randman's Reviews and what does he say about this movie? I'll change my voice too and you know I thought the film was spectacular.

It spoke to a lot of us. Hi. Welcome to Movie Reviews with Ricardo Rolex. Yeah. And a little, hit a little bell. But look at a movie that wasn't reviewed very well last year. Like it wasn't reviewed at all was Transformers 1. Yeah. And we went to go see it and it was a great movie. It was so good. It was so fun. A movie came out last weekend during the Super Bowl that I still want to see is Love Hurts.

I want to see that one. And I'm super psyched for the movie Novocaine. Look that up. Novocaine. Watch the trailer. It's awesome. Now, today is Valentine's Day, and I'm glad that we're all together so we can celebrate it.

But I have a question. Are you going to tell us how you and Eric actually did hook up at the hotel room? For real? No. All right. I'll start with Eric. Are you doing anything for Valentine's Day?

No, nothing special. Nothing like we're going to go actually parade the baby around in a little bit, put him in a Valentine's outfit, and take him to the grandparents' house. Oh, nice. Sweet. No plans, though. Maybe we'll sneak away and get dinner at some point this weekend.

But I'm sick. We got a baby. Okay. I did buy it. Hold on. Let me reshape this. I didn't just let the day disappear. I did buy flowers for my wife.

I got her some of her favorite ice cream. And there will be something going on. But yes, there's no official plans. I'm not an a-hole. There are flowers sitting on our countertop. We're married. I have a kid. Her favorite ice cream is in the freezer.

Don't miss me with that stuff. All right. Reddit, leave me alone. I'm not a dick. Randy, what do you have planned? Anything? So we're just going to do something chill for tonight. Get like a dinner.

Nothing really crazy because she's been working on her like master stuff. I think we're going to plan something for maybe Sunday. Last night we did something. We did a very hipstery thing. I didn't realize how hipstery it was until we got there. We went to this place in Long Beach called the Cool Cat Collective, which is a cool spot. There's a bunch of cat stuff.

And the whole thing was, so the, okay, okay. So the whole thing was, you can like, the money goes to like, I think help the wildfires, but it's also like Valentine's Day themed or whatever and Okay, the option to paint like a heart or a wooden sword and so I spent last night painting a wooden sword awful

But sword looks my sword looks like Pictures in my trunk Where's Juliette what we need need her. I know. Dude, so, well, she, okay. It was a fun activity. My girlfriend had the option to paint a heart. She chose a sword, okay? Let's be clear. But it's just, dude, it was one of those things when we got there that it suddenly dawned on me.

Oh, everybody here knows each other. And, like, I am a fish out of water. And it was just very, know I mean we know some people yeah think think of think of them yeah and then me and and apparently everyone could paint I can't I can't paint to save my life my paint my sword looks awful my girlfriend was like she said she had a good time something tells me internally I probably fix that so I'll think of something fast noise uh eric a suggestions for randy since you're a married man with a child any way he could fix this with his lady yeah it only goes downhill from there man

brett are you doing anything i mean this goes back to busy march sorry this is going to be a longer answer guys but But I'm moving. Nice. Finally. I'm getting away from my hellhole of an apartment building. I'm getting away from my hellhole of a neighbor. And so we are going to spend the entire weekend packing. That's exciting.

That's fun. Because we get the keys on the first before I meet up with Menace's Stater Brothers. Nice. We're going to move on hopefully the next weekend. And then we're going to be fully in the weekend that we go to the lucky punk fest awesome so also gonna be very busy and convenient all these events happening in probably the area that you live oh pretty damn close yeah in real america or real california either way but much like Eric, I also did get my wife flowers. Oh, nice.

I did get her chocolate. So I'm also not a dick. I got flowers from my friends at Ace of Ace. Very wonderful flower arrangement. Sweet. You can go check them out. They're amazing. And that's it.

A couple flowers go a long way, man. Hell yeah, brother. I have actually never gotten my wife flowers on Valentine's Day until this year. Wow. Look at you. Yeah. It's one of those things where you tell yourself it's too cliche and then you do it and it's like, oh, it's not.

You got to sprinkle flowers in like once every other month. Yeah. I mean, I do. I do them pretty regularly. I don't because my mom is a florist and I'm like, God, it's such a waste of money. But when it comes to Valentine's Day or just like a thank you or something like that, it does go a long, long way.

Yeah, but much like you, since my wife is a licensed mortician, flowers are an everyday part of the job. It's like, maybe I shouldn't have flowers. I'll find something else. I don't really bring a whole lot because the cats eat them.

I'll be like, yo, who is eating rose petals? There's always a different like a different avenue to the same story that you never see coming and there's there's randy with it so yeah my cat threw up on her bed ate the flowers and then i whipped out my painted sword and i'm like hey cat get away from here noise yeah because i like every saturday i go to the farmer's market and i get like a wheatgrass for the cats cats because they love eating it. Everything online is like wheatgrass is good for cats. So I bring back the wheatgrass, and they're munching on it.

They have a great time munching on it. And then inevitably, middle of the day on Sunday, I'll be sitting watching TV. My cat says, ah, ah, ah. And then there's all the grass. Why do you do this to yourself? Yeah, why? That's happy to see my girl smile. What are you doing?

Oh, just some dinner at one of our favorite places, Nobu. Shout out to Nobu. Dude, I was going to say Nobu. I should have said it before you. Damn it. My mic was muted. I had to click the button first. You know me too well.

You guys are like the same mind. Well. I mean, you guys were locked in over that weekend. Yeah, we're synced. We docked. We did. We spent a lot of time together last week. It was so much fun.

Yeah, it was just like fun just shooting the ish and just talking and stuff. He was there for my morning FaceTime with my kid. I was like hung up. I'm like, yeah, man, just, you know, talking to my baby.

Yeah, what the hell is that about? I got to say hi to the kid. It was fun. Yeah. I felt like my realities were merging together when Eric was telling me that my old bosses at the league office were hanging out with Menace. I'm like, I never thought that would ever happen.

Yeah, and then I was. I can only imagine what that was like for Eric. I was shouting you out, talking you up. Yeah. I had your back, dude. You should have never let him leave, man. What the hell? I was like, Randy's my guy.

You know, on the podcast, I rip on him all the time. But like, you know, out in public, I'm hyping you up, dude. You're like, look, you lost one of my guys. You better keep this one tight. Yeah, for real. Seriously, don't lose this guy. You guys want some food news real quick? Oh, yeah.

All right. Sliced Soda. Are you guys too young to remember Sliced Soda? It was last around about 15 years ago, but sliced was the ish back in the day. It was 7-Up, Sprite, and Slice. And they were all going head-to-head, and then

you had Slice Orange, which was my jam. But Slice is back. Eric, Randy, did you ever experience Slice? Never. Too young. Dude, at one point, Sl slice had so many different flavors. They had a purple joint. They had a cherry one.

They're bringing back a bunch of flavors. Sorry I don't have the whole list, but slice is back, baby. Look for it. Actually, Brett, you're getting a lot of love and shout-outs for the life hack that you gave out last week on the podcast, Liquid Death at Ross. I don't know if you saw it, but I reposted some listeners who went to Ross to buy shout outs for the life hack that you gave out last week on the podcast liquid death at ross

i don't know if you saw it but i reposted some listeners who went to ross to buy liquid death and they're like i did brett is right dude you can get it half price look i'm here to help people not blow all their money that's why i try to help randy he doesn't listen but if anything i could do to help you guys enjoy your lives by getting liquid debt for cheaper, dude, go to Ross. Do it. Get it. Do it. Some other food news. This sounds awful to me because I'm not a big wine drinker.

I don't really drink wine at all. I'm a champagne guy. But Domino's and Yellowtail Wine, you know, the wine that you can find at pretty much 7-Eleven or bottom of the barrel, has teamed up to have a red blend wine. So it's basically you'll see the wine, and it'll have like a Domino's logo on it, and it says that you should drink it with pizza, which sounds god-awful. Yeah, that sounds like a horrible combo. Yeah, so I'm not even going to ask you guys your thoughts on that.

Moving on, though, so to some tech news that you would be super excited about, Pokemon Go partnering with MLB. Did you see this? No. I saw the announcement. Yeah. They're putting up a bunch of Pokemon Go stops or I don't know. That's what you call them.

Stops, right? Or something like that. Poke stops. Poke stops at a bunch of ballparks across the United States. So, Eric, you can be at the ballpark and play pokemon go which i know you love dude it's the best i still pop it open my wife actually plays it more than me nowadays i look over and she'll be sitting in our front room playing pokemon go i'm like oh then i'm reminded to play they said it's beginning on opening day march 27th each team home park will

get a theme in-game poke stopsestops, gyms, and roots. What's a gyms? You got to work out? Dude, that's the only gym I work at, bro. Come on. What does that mean? Is that where you level up your Pokemons or you battle? You actually battle.

Oh, that's where you battle. You can take over the gym. In the real games, that's where you get the little badges and you show off who you are. Imagine if there's a leaderboard at the ballparks for who owns the gym. That's going to be insane. That would be next level. Now, I read this on TheVerge.com. So I don't know where The Verge is based out of.

So the teams that they highlighted said the New York Mets, Baltimore, Oilers. They're still a team? Oilers? And then 11 other teams. The Orioles. Oh, my bad. Orioles. It's the same thing. And 11 other teams will be participating. Yeaholes. Oh, my bad. Orioles. It's the same thing.

And 11 other teams will be participating. Yeah, I'm seeing. I'm looking at the list. No Dodgers, though. Oh, weak. How? You know, it's probably smart on Pokemon Go and the Dodgers. When the Dodgers have themed events, it gets effing crazy.

Dude. Shohei, Ohtani, Sasaki now, when they have these themed events. Pokemon Go and the Dodgers. Yeah, too wild. Eric, do you know who needs it is the Angels to get people actually at their ballpark. And the 10 people show up. Yeah. I will be one of the 10. Eric, come on.

You'll go for that. You don't understand. You don't understand how crazy it gets at Hello Kitty night. I think like for the past three years. At the Dodgers, yeah. They've had for the Dodgers. They've had to add an additional night after the first one because they see the amount of people that come out to it pokemon would be insane dude yeah but imagine getting a little pikachu plushie for free with

like a dodgers hat i'll be lit dope oh my gosh see eric's one now wearing a dodgers hat dude would would tear chavez ravine apart yeah it. Yeah, you would get a new stadium. You have to agree, though, that would be a huge marketing move for the Angels. You tell me that people want to pay, what is it, like $4 for a ticket nowadays. Right? Yeah. You tell me they want to buy a $4 ticket to get in the park so they can just catch something and then leave? That's probably why the Pokemon Go didn't come to the Angels.

If these fans bitch as much as Tyler did when he was an Angels fan, I don't think they're showing up to that ballpark, dude. They refuse to get anywhere near it. Personally, if I was in the Pokemon Go

and they had something, I would definitely go. Yeah, I think the situation is very dire with the Angels. I do know that Eric loves catching Pokemon

on Pokemon Go. He does. He's a big fan. Now imagine Eric touring all of these stadiums and getting Pikachus and different Pokemon in your game in the outfits of those teams. That'd be something.

It would be. You know, fatherhood is changing. You got, what, San Diego, Arizona, San Francisco. Milwaukee. So, like, those are all drivable. Yeah. Go up to, like, the tri-state area, you can get, like, the Mets. I'm just trying to do, like, math Francisco. Milwaukee. So, like, those are all drivable. Yeah. Yeah. Go up to, like, the tri-state area.

You can get, like, the Mets. I'm just trying to do, like, math in my head. Baltimore, Boston. That's another cluster. But then you got, like, Minnesota in the middle of nowhere. Texas in the middle of nowhere. That's a couple extra flights. I'm scarred right now, so.

Yeah. When it comes to flights. Oh, my God, dude. This really hurt you. Yeah, I know. Come on, dude. We got to be out here. Bro, my soul is still in the New Orleans airport.

Gate C8. If you walk by, you could still see my body floating and saying, go birds. Well, hey, look. At least you were going solo. You weren't with the family. That could have been a way worse situation. And the airport was so busy, dude. So I couldn't tuck away in a corner and fall asleep

i'm like sleeping with my head head in my hands like dozing off yeah guys with airpods that are talking directly over me waiting to board their plane oh it was a night i didn't even share this on the recap eric knows this so when i landed it was so i landed on on Friday evening in New Orleans. And that's when everybody was getting there. And the airport taxi line, over 1,000 people, I'm not even joking, waiting in line. And they were doing this weird thing where they were doing hand-written tickets for each person that was getting into the taxi line. So it was taking forever. So I go, oh, I'll just use Uber and Lyft. Dude, what?

I hit you up for like over an hour you're leaving at like 7 30 like 5 45 like i'm getting uber i'm like sick tons of time like i should be fine and 6 45 got there you're like um i'm walking i'm finding an uber yeah so i kept on going back and forth between uber and lyft no one was accepting my ride there was thousands and thousands of people trying to get u and Lyft. So what I did was I just started walking down the road. There's no businesses around the New Orleans airport. So I couldn't like go across the street to like a gas station or something. It's kind of like the Vegas one. Yeah. So I just kept on walking down the road and looking for Lyft signs and for Uber

signs on cards. And when they stopped, I go, Hey, I'll pay you $150 cash. If you can get me to the hotel, because I needed to meet up with Eric at a certain time so we could get to the party. So many people blew me off and said, no, I finally found one dude. He's like, get in. And then, so I was able, what I had like three minutes to spare when I, yeah, you walked in, dropped your bag off in my room, and then walked directly back off and then went on Joey Chestnut Wild Ride. Yeah, I did. It was such an amazing time. But I got to wrap up this podcast.

Everybody has to go. Unfortunately, Julianne couldn't meet with us. Hopefully, everything's okay. But if she. She said she was having, well, this is her first big laptop mistake. What? She didn't charge the laptop. Oh, no.
