He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the one show morning show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. We are joined by our friend Eric. I would say Randy.

I don't even know if he was going to join us today or not. I don't know if we had any communication on that. Also, we have our boy Tyler, who's coming to us from Whittier, California. And then Julianne is coming back from Boston right now. She has been traveling the country as well i want to speak about some travel because our boy heavy tea aka texas tyler did go to houston i want to talk about that but quick business we have been messing up well i have been messing up that uh we were going to do a raising canes meetup and i think i've said it probably like for the past four podcasts that it was going to be in huntington beach it is actually huntington park those are two different places yes because i was told it was huntington beach and then

thank god for a what's new pod listener who said are you sure it's not huntington park because when you google huntington park it sayston Park? Because when you Google Huntington Park, it says coming soon. And then when you Google Huntington Beach, it already says it's open. And it has many good reviews. So thank you to a What's New pod listener who put it on our radar because probably until the day of, we probably would have said Huntington Beach. Oh, totally. And to make it worse, I was literally in Huntington Beach,

and I saw a location, which I'm not sure is a new one coming or maybe i just saw from a different angle but i'm like oh menace i saw the new one on the beach and yeah it's ready to open man it looks good it's not a great street it's already but yes huntington park 1 to 3 p.m myself and board are going to be there april 2nd for the grand opening of that. So remember when Raising Cane's used to be like, you see one and it's like you found a unicorn. I know, right? Like weeds now, man. They're popping up everywhere.

Everywhere. The next one after that Bort and I are going to be at is going to be in North Hollywood. Shout out to my hometown. North Hollywood Raising Cane's. We'll give you more details on that, but come hang out with us again April 2nd in Huntington Park. Heavy T,

aka Tyler, Texas Tyler, returned to his motherland. How was your trip, Tyler? We saw you doing social media, which I was very happy to follow along on what was happening. You went to the rodeo. Dude, he even posted a photo with the lady who was that oh that's just one of my friends oh just one of my friends yeah i was trying to do some digging on that too yeah he's gonna say

nothing i was a little disappointed why because honestly i saw him post a picture with a cowgirl i think i recognized her from some other pictures of him. And I went, dude, good for Tyler. He got himself a cowgirl. Not just Milk Mama got a cowgirl. Yeah. And then I'm like, oh, I think that's his buddy's girl or something. Oh.

Then why would he be posting a photo of his buddy and his buddy's girl together? All three of them together. No. Okay. Let me explain. Let me me explain she is in a relationship with another guy however i had barely met this dude when i got there so wait home record tyler strikes again yeah notorious home record wait were you third wheeling with this couple uh yeah so even more weird dude that's even more weird let me explain let me explain so when you do the rodeo you can have a chance if you live in houston to be on the

committee for the rodeo okay if you were on the committee you get a special badge noise this badge allows you to get in two people for free so i got into the rodeo and the concert for free because she had a badge and i really wanted to see nickelback and we had a blast it was fun nice all right well i would also like to add that she was the one that posted the photo tyler just shared it yeah very nice a correct yes correct all right that's so weird you put some rando from california to hang out with your boyfriend. And also, I want to know, what does a rodeo committee entail? What is she a committee of?

Yeah. So the rodeo committee, dude, when you do the rodeo, it requires like hundreds, if not a couple thousand volunteers. But like the perk is, is that you get a badge that gets you free into the fair part of the rodeo free into the actual rodeo and free and then she's like i brought my own steer there's more and more details about this houston trip coming to light it's like he went he flew out he flew up mega cheap actually this is not like a dig at him but he flew up mega cheap he

stayed at his friend's house for free he got into the rodeo and the concert for free no wonder he went to houston yeah dude you spent like 10 bucks all weekend you yeah you were there actually for a week was there any other highlights other than the rodeo that you should talk about saw a uh saw a bunch of friends that i hadn't seen in over a year we barbecued our own brisket we slapped this thing on it about yeah dude we slapped this thing on six in the morning was basically just checking it every half hour did you hear that bring it down yeah well that's how uh you cook brisket no no no the draw he was like six in the morning six in the morning oh you out there for a week you started talking country i don't even have a defense for that. Oh my god.

I don't have a defense. So besides that, went to one of my favorite restaurants anywhere, Taste of Texas, which is a great steakhouse down there. Nice. That was her name. Saw some... At the strip club. Relax.

Saw some old radio buddies that I hadn't seen since i've been down there and yeah man dude we i had a blast nice really good and yeah it's just you know it's great being there obviously not spending any money but it's great being there just with friends and everything oh and that reminds me yeah i did go to the great temple of texas bucky's nice well i have some breaking news i will be joining you in the glorious bucky's experience because i am taking a last minute day trip to austin texas because our good friends at diso are opening up some new locations. They have some locations already, but they have even more.

Like, you think Raising Cane's is opening up a lot of locations? Dude, Daiso is taking over America, and they have some more locations coming to Austin. So I'm going to go there and do some social. But I'm going to try to fit in some Buc-ee's. And do you have any recommendations tyler i do actually so there's a couple things you can get there you can get a bag of beaver nuggets which is basically you guys know that corn pop cereal yeah it's a lot like that it tastes a lot like that like it's sweet it's good it's crunchy so it tastes like that they do their own barbecue in-house

it is glorious dude it is absolutely delicious they do little cups of dessert and they make their own dessert in-house their beef jerky and their taffy that they sell on the side is really good you can get their hot sauce you can get their barbecue up dude just by do yourself a favor just buy one of everything you didn't officially go unless you came back with a t-shirt so you will definitely buy two or three of them yeah some merch out there do they have any other great novelties that's what i'm more interested in tyler besides the t-shirts like i've seen people in bucky's onesies oh i've whitney cummings posted a her in a bucky's bathing suit one time what yeah bro there there are bucky's bathing suits there are bucky's pajamas

you want a bucky's hat or a beanie dude i got you dog like you just came from bucky's bathing suits there are bucky's pajamas you want a bucky's hat or a beanie dude i got you dogs like you just came from bucky's what did you bring for us then yeah if you got us i i i did i did not but you got us okay yeah but like dude i i bought a dude i bought two magnets for the fridge dude like anything you want it's like this is one thing like no joke you can go in you can get basically the equivalent of a big gulp for two bucks you can get your own barbecue and then you go to the other side of the store you can get a case for your gun this place rules no i'm just saying uh if you don't know what bucky's is just uh take a quick google they need to expand across

the country so people can experience the buckies yeah so they don't keep that crap in the south you're not we don't need a we don't need a buckies in california okay okay okay hold on hold on real quick tyler you can you can jump in in a second eric then what would be the equivalent to a buckies why can't we have buckies in california because we first of all where are you going to put a buckuc-ee's? In the middle of nowhere, in Riverside County, San Bernardino County. We have Flying Jays. We have all those random ass trucks. Yeah, but they're not at this level.

We don't need a Buc-ee's. Dude, you drop a Buc-ee's in Eagle Rock, the hipsters are going to burn that place down. You don't need that in California. I don't disagree on that. It would be nice to have a Buc-ee's off the five between Los Angeles and San Francisco. I mean, Harris Ranch is cool, but imagine if you had a bucky's as well no man keep bucky's in those crappy ass states like missouri and texas well california's need this redneck ass crap well i know one person that's not gonna get a bucky's t-shirt now and his name is eric

all right what were you gonna say much much to eric's dismay it is slowly creeping west because bucky's is gonna be showing up in colorado oh damn it's getting close eric hide the kids only a matter of time before only a matter of time before this thing slowly crosses over the rocky mountains and into the west coast let's see we got we got loves making it into palm desert and we got a quick trip as far as arizona you guys never like drove and like you've done the drive to vegas and arizona we have california versions i don't need one that has a beaver mascot i think the only equivalent to buckucky's would be Terrible's in Gene, Nevada? Is it Gene, Nevada? Or Prim? Well, it's all over Nevada.

I would say that would be the only equivalent to Bucky's, but I don't think it's even at Bucky's level. Only the big ones, but yeah, they rebranded a lot of different stops and gas stations as Terrible's, so if you go to one Terrible's, it's like an AMPM, but then you go to another one, and it's's like... Not the same. It's an AMPM, but then you go to another one,

and it's like the size of a Bass Pro Shop. Yeah, the one I'm talking about has like a White Castle inside of it. It's massive. Now, Tyler, while you were in Houston, did you pick up more Houston Astros gear for the season? Your favorite team? I did. You did?

I did not. Oh, okay. I did not. You have enough already. I mean, you guys know me. I've been an Angel fan. Oh, God. Here we go.

How are you defending yourself now? No, no, no. I've just been incredibly pissed off at the ownership and everything. So I'm just sorry. We've gotten over that a hundred times. I'm still sticking with that. But I just want to know if you've got new gear. But Eric, the whole reason I brought it up, because Eric, dude, Dodgers, rough start, don't you think,

with all this drama going on? It's been an interesting first two days. Right? That's for sure. First, I was going to start with the pitcher. Oh, Yabamoto. Yeah, they spent $300 million on. He's not doing so hot.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about that. It's his first game. Whatever. We'll see how it is. Let me know if we do this for the first month of the season. Going to be a little bit worried. Probably worried about it. Win the first game, beat the Padres.

That's always fun. But then, yeah, they give up 15 in the second game. And before that, Otani's interpreter, Ipe Mizuhara, is fired because his name came up in some illegal bookkeeping. Yeah, in Southern California. But the kicker is he was brought up because he used wire transfer money from Otani's bank account to cover his debts.

So it's been such a weird story because he came up at first and he said, oh, Otani pretty much funded me this money to get me out of my gambling debts. Then the next day, otani's camp is like nah dog this is some like massive theft where basically they're saying well you have to say that yeah if otani authorized those wire transfers yeah like wires transfer is like super old school that's how they used to uh bust drug dealers back in the day because you're like oh wire transfer

like who cares you like you can venmo people money and like crap like that obviously not that amount but back in the day like cocaine dealers and stuff like that that's how they were able to give um them huge sentences because they go oh you use a wire transfer that those laws have not changed so like wire transfer stuff that's automatic like 10 years otani knowingly transferring that money through a wire transfer he's like mega screwed so of course this guy is gonna take the fall if if otani really did that i think what really came out first is true i think otani covered this guy his best friend his interpreter his right hand man i think he covered his debts at first and then otani's camp his dumb ass lawyers who didn't see this coming as still a bad thing,

the next day were like, well, no, that's still bad. So then they are now painting it as, oh, no, this dude's been stealing from him. It just goes to show it's like Otani needs better people around him because this got through without checks and balances in some capacity of whether or not Otani covered this guy or whatever. I don't think Otani's going around gambling around gambling on anything no i don't think so you know and then it's just it just goes to show because otani doesn't have a he doesn't have he's not molded with you know legal teams and and people pretty much checking him so i think he probably did his

boy a solid covered his debt yeah didn't know the wire thing in America. Yeah. You know? And, like, the guy, I guess it was reported, the guy, like, told the team, the Dodgers, before the second game in South Korea, you know, the story's coming out, I have a gambling problem, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, yeah, and then it just really hit the fan when now there's two stories,

when there's guys on record saying one thing, Otani willingly gave him this money to basically do him a solid, get him out of this debt. And then the next day, Otani willingly gave him this money to basically do him a solid, get him out of this debt. And then the next day, Otani's camp comes out like, no, no, no. This guy stole from Otani. And there's going to be some major ups and downs. Like, this is nowhere close to being even done.

And to say it was a weird first weekend of Dodgers season would be... I know, right? It was supposed to be super exciting. And then all this drama is going down. I'm thinking the Dodgers like, man, why couldn't this happen with the pitcher? Because if we needed an out, you know, we don't need an out after one inning

of play. This is somehow the Angels' fault. This is going to come back to being on Tyler and actually the Angels who ratted him out because it's the guy from Orange County that Otani was giving all the money to. You know what? Dude, no. There's something that's going to come out

where the Angels facilitated this when he was in Anaheim and then the interpreter. Yeah, it's the Angels. It's always the Angels. As of this morning, you should be thanking the Angels because there's a quote that came out. I'm literally staring at it on Twitter right now. It came out 58 minutes ago from Jeff Fletcher,

who works for the OC Register. He said he talked to several of Otani's former Angel teammates today. No one wanted to be quoted other than to say that they were all surprised. However, the one consensus that they all agree on is that there's no way Otani could have been the one placing the bets because he never paid attention to any other sport besides baseball, which kind of makes sense because if you're that good, you're not

paying attention to anything else what was this guy betting on tony could be that dumb to be betting on stuff when he's worth billions of dollars apparently he was betting on soccer there's no way i was how he was betting on soccer then world no way it's dumb man because the mob is reporting on all this stuff and then it's like let's go back to the studio sponsored by draft kings it's like what are you doing what i know it's like that's legal gambling okay yeah obviously you don't want to do anything illegal but legal it's right here i just don't get like even the person that was receiving the money like how did they not realize oh receiving five hundred thousand dollar wire transfers you're not going to get caught. Like, the government is looking at that amount of money constantly.

They're looking at, I think they brought it down to, you know, like your Venmos or your Zells and stuff like that. Like, it gets on the government radar when you're sending $600. Oh. Like, how many payments of $500,000? Like, it's not setting, setting alarms off. Oh, directly from Otani's account.

Yeah. Like his name's on the account. Dude. Like does Otani not have a single person in his camp? Like, Hey man, no, you know,

this is not a good idea. Like put it in a briefcase or something. You know, it's funny though. If you think about it. So one, uh, yes,

the government does do that even to the fact that dude my buddy's business just got red flagged by the tax people and banks because he had a deposit of patreon for six dollars yeah and they went oh no we think that you're doing only fans and you're going through these banks and we don't allow that and locked everything up. So dude, they're totally on the eyes of everyone. I know, $500,000, $4 million of what he owed. But also gamblers, man, they love the risk. So dumb.

Look at Tyler. But this is not a risk. This is a home run. Florida Marlins, all-you-can-eat sections for $52, all-in or all-out. I'll go to a Marlins game, all-you-can-eat sections for $52, all-in or all-out. I'll go to a Marlins game, all-you-can-eat, Pepsi, popcorn, hot dogs. Are you in or out? You could probably eat all you want and then sit wherever you want at a Marlins game. There's nobody there.

You guys are in, right? It reminds me of the Dodgers back when you used to be able to sit. They don't do it anymore because they revamped the whole outfield concourse area. It's pretty dope now, but you used to be able to buy tickets for Wrightfield Pavilion and all you can eat. They weren't Dodger dogs. I won't give them that, but they were all you can eat hot dogs underneath the Wrightfield Pavilion. Well, you know, Philly,

like the fans are a little overzealous. Did you hear what happened with the dollar hot dog day? It got banned because they're throwing it on the field. Oh oh i wanted to move on to food news because that's what i was leading into but i forgot eric you're gonna be very happy about this i want to go on this podcast right now and officially because i've always been nice about them and you know if you really said hey gun to your head who is your favorite baseball team i'm gonna say the a's

right but i've always been nice to the giants i have a lot of family members that are giants fans a lot of friends that are giants fans i've never like really trash talk them but on this podcast right now i would like to officially denounce the giants they're okay garbage i will never support them again they're a crappy ass team because i'm all for it hell yeah because imagine if the dodgers got rid of vin scully just like out of nowhere right that's basically what the giants just did with Rennell, their announcer for the past 20 years, radio DJ that I grew up on, and they just couldn't come together on a contract. Right? Giants, just pay the lady what she's owed. She's done over 2,000 games for you.

She's an iconic member of your organization. I'm sure it wasn't something ridiculous. You're the freaking giants in san francisco your tickets for your games are out of control and you couldn't pay all you do is like a little social post and say you parted ways get the f out of here giants you are officially denounced and you are dead to me the bay is out well they gone they gone so you're i just want to give you that nugget eric now i'll move on to some food news what what uh what an interesting podcast so far you've got eric so aggravated at tyler for so many things and then hold on i'll give you this one i'm gonna

denounce the giants go ace here we go you ready for some food news food news our Food news. Our friends at Lazy Dog Restaurants rule so hard. And I just want to give people a heads up on a food hack that I did the other day. Because you know they're frozen TV dinners, right? They're massive. They're huge. Don't think about like a frozen TV dinner that you see in the grocery store that's like a little teeny tiny thing.

This is like a full meal, okay? Dude, they're selling Lazy Dog TV din they're 10 bucks each right but if you buy five you get an extra one free so let's say you spend a hundred bucks right when you average you go to like some other restaurant somewhere else and you spend a hundred bucks you get like maybe a meal and a half okay yeah dude i spent a hundred bucks i got 12 full meals so if you want to save some money if you're strapped on cash and you're like oh how i'm gonna feed myself for like the next week and you got a hundred bucks guaranteed lazy dog is your best option to have awesome meals 12 times in a row menace was so hyped about this discovery he called me and talked to me about it on the way home he called

me about this as i was on my way to lazy dog so it was just like basically putting the bug in my ear but there was one other thing i wanted to point out about lazy dog while i was there the other day also don't forget that lazy dog has jolene's wings their wings are a dollar per wing right and you get them in increments of five we had some the other day and the flavors were absolutely delicious i decided to get a kung pao wing came with the little peanuts of sesame seeds on top absolutely Absolutely delicious. Tasted just like Kung Pao chicken. And the person I was with got Cajun lime wings. Nice.

And these have a perfect hint of lime to it. On top of that, you can get a Nashville hot ranch sauce with it. Absolutely delicious. Oh, yeah. Absolutely delicious. So for $10, we got 10 wings. Wolfed them down totally worth it i know with prices out of control everywhere i'm telling you this is the best value out there right now totally yeah so get down to lazy dog go to lazy dog restaurants.com

and find a location near you check them out, check out those road trip bowls. Another place that you love, Tyler, Jack in a Box. Did you see this? There's Smash Jack Returns, the Smash Burgers. I love a good Smash Burger. The only place I don't love a good Smash Burger is Smash Burger. Really? Yeah. I don't know.

It seems like cafeteria hamburgers to me. But Smash Burgers all over the place, again, sweeping the nation as they have been for the past couple years. So good. I have not tried the Jack in the Box version, but it looks amazing. It is multi-layered. It looks like it has bacon and some cheese sauce on it. I'm in. I'm here for it.

You know what? I'm all in on a Smash Burger. Speaking of Smash Burgers, I got to give a quick shout out to one place specifically uh went to this place back in december november something like that easy street burgers over in studio city yo those are some of the best smash burgers i've ever had in my life those are absolutely delicious i'm willing to try it i hadn't even heard of it speaking of of smashing, who was Tyler with the other night? Yeah, who are you going out and having lunch with? That is between me and me alone.

Oh, that's funny. So I'm glad this came up because I didn't want to ruin our great Lazy Dog talk and paint it with talks about who was that Lazy Dog with Tyler. Yeah. He's texting all of us through the entire date. Oh, really? Because the Otani news came out and then then something else was popping off, and what's new? And then we're like, Tyler, why are you talking to us when you're out at Lazy Dog with a chick? And he's like, she didn't understand the Otani news either, so I just wanted to find out.

And he's talking to us. I'm like, dude, what is he doing in the middle of the date just staring at his phone texting a bunch of guys? How I live my life is my choice. We've all sat down and ate out with Tyler before. His phone is literally glued to his hand and he's just scrolling. You could see him refreshing the Twitter feed. I have to admit, I do the exact same thing,

but I'm at least paying attention to what you guys are saying. And you're married, dude. You've got it locked down. You don't got to worry about it. Tyler's out with a chick who's like i mean i don't know maybe she's scrolling to maybe they're texting each other not even talking like randy is like why are you texting us and he's like he's like no she wanted to find out about the otani stuff too i'm like so find out together not with me and randy like what the hell

no no like so i'm texting her or not sorry i'm talking with her about this while I'm telling you guys. And that was not the only conspiracy theory we got into that day because we started talking about the whole Kate Middleton thing. Oh, yeah, true. Which, by the way, actually, as we're recording this podcast, they just came out that apparently Kate Middleton has been diagnosed with cancer. And that's what the whole thing is about. They cut away into a news report

in the middle of the basketball games. I'm assuming Tyler's watching the same thing. I saw that pop up. Tyler's also trying to get the attention off of him right now by bringing this up. Very good. No, no, I mean, because this is... Deflection.

Like, slight deflection, but this is also generally a big deal because I've seen, like, the conspiracy theories all over. Okay, yeah, it sucks. We're talking about you and your date. Exactly. Yeah. So I'm just saying, like, she wanted to know as much as i did so i just started reading the article and so by this time we had left lazy dog and we went to brewery x for a

little bit so we get to brewery x and the guy who was serving us our drinks started talking to us about it because it just kind of broke all over and you know what lo and Lo and behold, I'm able to talk about it because I looked it up. All right. So leave me alone. All right. Talking in circles as usual. Okay. I love it though because somebody out there is listening and they're literally adding

all this together just like we do and putting all the puzzle pieces and they have some board somewhere going, what is Tyler doing? Like one day we'll find out what this all is all i'm gonna say is if you're putting the pieces together you need to worry about you and go make you some money all right leave me alone what is this guy even saying right now that is such a frustrated affliction like okay all right i'm not even gonna lie i've been trying to move on for like an hour okay because he's pedicab. Because he's going to give us nothing, as usual. Okay, so here's another thing.

Have you tried or have you seen these new Little Caesars handheld crazy puffs? They look like pizza cupcakes. Oh, yeah. I want them. Where are they? I have seen them. Yeah, they're like, you get like four of them for like four bucks. And so like, imagine you get your pizza and then your crazy bread,

but then you can get a pizza and then little mini pizzas. There's one down the street. Why aren't we there yet? I want to go. I want to go. I want to check it out. All right. I did have some more food news, but we'll move on.

We got a lot of stuff to take care of because before we get out of here, we're recording on a Friday. Did you guys watch Roadhouse yet on amazon it ruled carter mcgregor jacked jake general hall jacked road kicking ass anybody just me just you all right buddy uh i'll give it i'll give it a 7 out of 10 some pretty cool fight scenes i did watch uh ricky senecki though did? Okay, what's your review? Pretty good. I thought it could have been funnier,

but John Cena is effing hilarious. I think he held up the whole movie. Oh, for sure. It's very much like, what's the superhero guy? Not Homelander, that's Boyz. Oh, you're thinking of Peacemaker, yeah. Peacemaker, yeah. He's very much like a Peacemaker kind of character in that, like just kind of like, I don't know.

He's really good, and I think he's the funniest guy in it. The dude, the ginger guy from Bad Friends, he's very much like a peacemaker kind of character in that like just kind of like i don't know he's he's really good and i think he's the funniest guy in it the dude um the ginger guy from bad friends he's all right i feel like he was kind of forced yeah he was like unnecessarily being over the top mean and yeah which is kind of his character and everything he does but it's like okay i don't know but then like zach aphron i feel like could have been a little funny his characters like some of his characters plot plot points seemed a little forced. But John Cena is definitely the guy you want to watch. And he's hilarious in it. Now, Tyler.

I'd give it like a 7.5. Not so much an 8. But it was good. Alleged number one John Cena fan allegedly told us that he was going to watch the movie. What's your review? It's not on the scene. Oh, damn it. Dude, just like The Mandalorian, he's never watching it.

All right. No, I'll watch it. So the thing is, no, my brother really wants to watch it with me for some reason. I don't know why. But, yeah, I'm waiting for our schedules to kind of come in line so we have time to watch it. And basically, when I've been working, he's free. When he's been free, I've been working. Or vice versa.

I don't even know how I said that. So, yeah's uh we'll get we'll get to it we will get there nice shout out to john cena his acting has come a long way amazing ever since he did transformers bumblebee movie on fire i'm gonna throw something out there and i don't even know if this is a hot take but john cena is better than the rock when it comes to acting. Whoa. I don't think so. I'd say comedic acting, yes. Yeah. For sure. I still can't take him too serious on the action movie stuff because I just find John Cena so funny.

Like, I don't really take him too serious in the Fast and Furious stuff. Yeah. And then The Rock, I'm like, he's funny, but John Cena is funnier. Yeah. This might be an unpopular opinion. Maybe it's because The Rock not acting like The Rock and forced to act like somebody else. Actually, you act and it was just over the top.

But I really like The Rock in the Jumanji movies. It's so over the top. He has to act as somebody else acting as him. I don't know why, but I thought he's really funny in Jumanji. You know me, how I feel with Fast and Furious. John Cena is quickly, I think, overtaking The Rock as the wrestler guy. Yeah, for sure. Honestly, I think it's John Cena and then Batista after and then The Rock, honestly.

I wouldn't go that far. Batista's really good, though. Batista does one good Marvel movie and everybody's all over his sack. He got rave reviews for that Cabin movie. I never watched it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Knock on the Cabin. So I saw that. He got rave reviews for that Cabin movie. I never watched it. Oh, yeah. No, Knock on the Cabin. So I saw that. He was good in that. Shyamalan movie? Yeah.

I saw that. He was good in that. I haven't seen Dune, but people like him in Dune. He was in one of the James Bond movies, and he was in the newest Knives Out movie. He actually has a pretty good resume under his belt. And the Blade Runner sequel, he was amazing in that. That was actually a very serious role, too. I guess he was all right in the second Knives Out movie. He was okay in that one, I guess.

All right. Well, Eric, yeah. See, he's turning our way a little bit. Turn around. Still not going to turn around on Bucky's. I'm not going to say... He is good, but I don't think he's better than The Rock. John Cena's good enough where I might even go see Trainwreck

with that dumbass main chick in it. I might even dabble in that and see how long I can handle that movie because of John Cena. I saw that when it came out, and I can't stand Amy Schumer. I do not like her. That movie's pretty funny

because of the cast that's put around her. Never mind, I take it back. I cannot stand Amy Schumer. I can't even talk about this can't do it it's fair it's like i'll even admit like i don't you guys know me i don't like lebron at all he's actually kind of funny that's right he's in that no way i'm watching this movie i take this all the way back i can't even joke all right how about this are you excited for this did you watch the little clip not even a full trailer beetlejuice oh yeah are we in or out nobody just us i haven't seen it i don't even think i've seen the first beetlejuice oh my god yeah never seen the first beetlejuice you guys

are as bad as randy now oh. I can't believe that. How? It's classic. It is. It's super classic. How do you even? What? All right. We're going to have to revisit that.

We don't have time to dig deep. How are you just like? I understand, but it's still like. I was in porn for three years. I understand. I understand. There was a cartoon that was on while we were kids on Fox Kids called the Beetlejuice cartoon. Did that make you want to watch? What?

Beetlejuice wasn't just like an 80s movie that got released and then went away. There was a musical show at Universal. You guys know me. I grew up in a religious household. That was probably a no from the get-go. I have an excuse. I don't know about Eric, but that's my excuse. Tyler, no booze, no Beetlejuice, no ladies.

Okay? None of that. Yeah, yeah forget it i thought you were going for three straight b's and then you said do you know what i feel like i didn't really see a lot of marketing for i mean that wasn't just like in my face constantly was the um ghostbuster movie that's coming out this weekend like i saw like the popcorn buckets that randy was trying to get but i felt like that was like a month ago and the movie is finally out this weekend like i saw like the popcorn buckets that randy was trying to get but i felt like that was like a month ago and the movie is finally out this weekend and i feel like it wasn't in my face like hey the movie's dropping the movie's dropping am i wrong or did i just whiff on that or did you see a lot of marketing behind it i feel like you're half right on that i feel like i didn't see any

marketing on it until last week then all of of a sudden, every other commercial break, there's a Ghostbusters trailer in it. It feels like they decided to hop on the marketing train super late. I feel like they actually had a lot of marketing before the writer's strike. I was seeing a lot of tie-in, like hostess things, and Serial was almost like the last movie continued, and they just kept pumping things out. Toys, I saw toys on the toy shelf already for ghostbusters then the rider strike and the only thing i've seen is like a uh car insurance ad that has like the little marshmallow guys running around that's it really that's it i feel like i didn't see anything and i just heard ravey talk about it

on there oh the ghostbusters movie is out this weekend i go really can i point out also just just maybe i was a little surprised i didn't hear anything about us talking on the show of the empire state building and the giant star wars thing that they had that was pretty cool oh yeah but you know let's talk about ghostbusters no one's promoting shout out to ghostbusters oh but we love ghosts uh okay i want to move on to something else something i'm super excited about i've been trying to post it in our group chat and show you guys because Eric, this is right next to your work. Cosm is basically like a, um, I would say like a, uh, sphere, right?

So, you know, the Las Vegas sphere, uh, how all the screens work, but this is like an entertainment space where you can watch fights. You can watch basketball games you can watch any sporting event and you just sit there and you party and it just pretty much just consumes you like if you're actually at the game it looks freaking incredible if you want to check it out for yourself just go to cosm.com cosm and uh they're actually hiring right now that's the reason i want to shout out Cosm. Because if you're looking for work and you want to be a part of the future, check out this place.

It's incredible. Also, they're going to have a job fair. Because I've been following their Instagram account since the beginning. So I know all this information is not random. April 12th and 13th, you can go apply in person i'm telling you look up this place it is the future of sporting events and entertainment venues yeah i'm looking at it right now first of all you say right by my work the rendering literally puts it like outside my office window which is kind of crazy i haven't heard about this but yeah it looks like it's

literally it's not like a vr headset but it gives you that feel where you're just in the middle of it it's um it's the future it is it's like it's so hard to explain it and get it out in words that you just have to see it for yourself 26 meter led dome 65 000 total square feet facility 1700 guests so it's yeah you literally just sit in the middle of it and i mean, I've seen some of these things where they almost do, it's not a full dome, but they have, like, walled theaters where you're sitting in it, so, like, it kind of projects it around you a little bit more. Yeah, but this thing consumes you.

This is the future of everything, man. Like, everything is, like, you know, domed around you, and you get the full immersive experience because they're trying to get you out of your seats, which is the VR headsets, and into theirs, which is going to look better, more experience and stuff like that better sounds i see you and randy hanging out at this thing constantly take a lunch break be awesome all right one other thing i want to shout out is i did this last year and mid valley ymca april 6th

I have been supporting Power of Sight for the past couple of years now. And I'm telling you straight up, you go there, you need to get an eye exam, 100% for free. After the eye exam, 100% for free, they'll give you a pair of glasses. It is legit.

Now, it's funny because I'll go there and I'll do some Woody Show giveaways, like I'll do again this time around, and I always give away raffle tickets, right? And the last event, I'm giving away these raffle tickets, and this guy, this older gentleman, he looks at the raffle ticket, and then he pulls it away from himself

because he couldn't see the numbers on there. And I go, dude, what are you doing? He's like, oh, I need some glasses. I'm like, that's the whole reason we're here. And he's like, oh, really? Because he was just a, he was just a Woody show fan. He just wanted to come by and like get some Woody show merch. I'm like, dude, let's walk over here.

Let's get you an eye exam. And then let's get you a free pair of glasses. And he thanked me so much because glasses are not cheap. Yeah. He's like, I really couldn't afford to go get an eye exam and some glasses. He's like, the guy was almost in freaking tears that I hooked him up. Like, I remember when I put off getting glasses for so long. And then when you put them on, like how life changing it is, you're like, oh, my God, I couldn't believe I was living like that.

You know? So if you know anybody young or old that needs glasses, April 6th, Mid Valley, YMCA, don't be shy. Come on through. Most likely I'll be there from 10 to noon. I just got to make sure I can get there in time because I'm going to be driving in from Coachella Valley that day. But just come through.

You fly back here. You play three more preseason games and then you start the season. So, so stupid how they schedule this. Yeah. Ravy was actually talking smack about it on the air. Dumb. I think everybody was actually talking smack about it. Like this makes no sense.

Yeah. Especially because, you know, the two fans that of the teams are in California. These games started at three in the morning. So no incredibly dumb i mean we were but yes also i was watching it was on in the building because we're awake but yeah yeah yeah if the giants never forget that the uh angels were the ones that kept them from winning a world series with barry bonds just throwing that out there all right That's the one thing they did.
