Eric is dead to us. I know I push back, but I really don't care. Anybody calls me, really.

All right. I feel bad because I call. Because you can tell. He hasn't changed his handle or anything. It's still Eric. Well, that's his own damn fault. He doesn't like followers online. I will from now on call Eric Nick Salmon.

I will take half the blame because I know. This is Bort, by the way, if anyone doesn't know the voice that's coming through. I've known Eric Nick Salmon probably the longest out of anybody i have and i know him as eric so i instinctively go to that however i'm gonna throw half the shade at randy because randy interchanges between all of our names yeah like every sentence i call you guys by your own name sorry right oh yeah your real names. Sorry. Right? Oh, yeah, real names. What are those? You go to the DMV and like, what the? I'm not Brett. I'm Bort. Okay.

Also on the show today, we have Phantogram. They're going to be stopping by the band Phantogram. If you don't know who they are, look them up. Phantogram, they rule. They're going to be hanging out with us. Also, I want to thank everybody for all the feedback that's being put up online on our SoundCloud page. Our Apple iTunes reviews have been great.

Thank you for all that. And I've been checking our top cities across the United States on who is listening. Of course, we have Los Angeles and Orange County, who is our home base. But, dude, New Jersey is checking in. We have San Francisco. We have Chicago. Yeah have San Francisco. We have Chicago. Yeah. San Jose, Oakland, St. Louis, Atlanta, Georgia, Portland, Oregon.

Whoever's in Chicago, please send a deep dish pizza our way. Yes. I try to bring back a deep dish pizza. The last time I went to Chicago. I know. This guy got on a plane. God, it was so silly because I packed. So I went to Lou Malnati's and I, the last time I went to Chicago. I know this guy got on a plane. Dude, my God, it was so silly because I packed a, so I went to Lou Malnati's and I got the pizza. And before I took an Uber to the airport, I, uh, I snuck into the bathroom and I shoved

it in my carry on. Why would you shove in your carry on though? Well, because I don't know. It was just one of those things. It was like, how can I carry this without having to carry it and transport it? So I wrapped like a shirt around it and I put it in the carry on and we're in the, we're in the TSA check-in and they're scanning me and stuff.

And they're like, Hey, like what's in his bag? Open up his bag. I'm like, Oh, it's a pizza. And they're like,

Oh, okay. And I had to put the pizza back in with a bunch of it. You should have just held it. I don't know. He's never traveled before. Really? He's lazy as hell,

man. But I will say I have a deep dish pizza from chicago frozen in my freezer right see i thought about shipping it but then the pricing was oh the shipping food i use this uh website called gold belly not a sponsor they should be but i use it like around thanksgiving time because i'm always traveling my parents are divorced and i have a lot of family that's like just split up across the country right pro tip gold belly super expensive but it's awesome all i do is i get specialties sent to everybody's house dude people love it it's awesome we just give them a phone

call like oh happy thanksgiving and then i'm on a beach somewhere i'm telling you it will be the best thanksgiving you'll ever have it's like you're in every place at once, but you get to be on your own vacation. I know, it rules. Can you send those fancy hams that people wait two hours in line for? Honey baked ham? I don't know if you can mail those, but people go crazy for them.

My buddy in high school, because they hire a lot of seasonal workers, he went there and it was like having gold bars. He had the hookup on like cutting through the line for honey baked ham. I've always wanted to try one solely from what I see like on the news, which is people waiting in line. I mean, they're not a sponsor.

They should be, but. Hey, are you food? You should be a sponsor. I have had honey baked ham. You know, this is in my pre aspiring vegetarian days. Yeah, it's pretty good. Also, the honey baked ham. You know, this is in my pre-aspiring vegetarian days. Yeah. It's pretty good. Also, the honey baked turkey. Amazing.

Now, Tyler, last week we did the first impression segment on The Woody Show. Now, if you don't know, The Woody Show, Morning Show has this segment called First Impressions. And we take out a photo of one of the show members out on the street and we asked people what they think about this photo. Now we post the photo on Instagram at The Woody Show and all of our listeners comment on it and they express how they feel about it. Now, after the show, Tyler is going around the studio and he's saying, Oh my God.

The thirst is real, man. The thirst is real. Check out these comments. True or not true, Bort? All right. Make sound wave. Dude, it's 1,000% true. Very true.

And I've already warned everybody. I warned Ravy last week before we even did it. She's like, hey, are you going to enjoy this? I'm like, I'm just worried because Tyler's going to get an ego out of it. Here he has one. We've had to chop him down at the knees a couple times already. And notice which room specifically we heard it start. He walks into my production room, sits next to Eric.

He's just like, out of nowhere, man, the thirst is really real on Instagram right now. Oh, my God. I was looking at the comments on my phone, and I'm telling you what I see. This chick says that she totally would do me and watch undertaker rematches with me oh but i don't know if i'd be into that one so no hey man find your niche and own it man if anything you have an undertaker fan club area that you could totally

just jump right into you got the tattoo you got the access there you go and then tyler i told you just run with it but apparently can i divulge this you're yeah go ahead man it's all good you're kind of dating somebody i am at the moment so you're locked down so you gotta tell these ladies no or what okay look am i officially locked down no but do i want it to hold on hold on wait a minute careful wait a minute let me me finish. Let me finish. Don't mess this up. Am I officially locked down?

No. Do I want it to go that direction? Yes. Am I going to do anything to screw it up? No. Okay. Shout out Mrs. Dumbass Tyler. Yeah.

So how do we make this official official? I don't know. The right time and place, man. Menace, I mean, do you follow Dumbass Tyler on Instagram? Because if you do, you would see that he was posting a bunch of Instagram stories with this lady. Really? The other week. Okay, I gotta follow him now.

What was it? The couple that vans together? The couple that vans together stays together. It's a nice picture of both of their vans. Oh, no way. How am I not following this? With the sunset happening. I follow you, Tyler. I forgot about that. I follow you Tyler I forgot about that

I follow you Tyler right? yeah wait how do you forget about things you're constantly bragging your ego's like

pouring out and you're like yeah man I was out with this girl I at least have to like commend him at least he looks like he knows

how to wine and dine a girl at least so he's not completely useless in that front look man sometimes I just choose to shut down the ego.

For a night. For a night. When it's, you know. When? I've never seen this. Wow. There's a time and a place. You will find it eventually.

Oh, great. Oh, that's great. Remember the hierarchy. I have to ask him every day during the show. Hey, man, are you good? Do you have everything you need? What happens last week? Yeah. He doesn't respond to me. I have to go into his to you during the show hey man are you good do you have everything you need what happens last week yeah he doesn't respond to me i have to go into his to you say hey are you good he's like yeah yeah i'm all good sorry i forgot to respond to you i thought about

it i was like oh i forgot to respond because i realized i hadn't segged up a couple songs so i was like oh let me go do this real quick and while i was doing that i just realized i forgot to respond my bad you know you're too busy talking about your stuff. I get it. The thirst was real. You're too busy adding, trying to slide into some DMs. You're looking up people. There is no sliding of the DMs.

This might be a good thing, though, because she might see all the thirst on there and then you guys can just make it official official. Yeah, man. I mean, she might start seeing you liking stuff somebody's gonna like try to swoop in on i got a wave of undertaker strange coming at me so you gotta lock me down you gotta tape the strange bro yeah look man i'm not trying to do any of that because bort said it best don't give someone a reason to come at you about something yeah for

real and i am not trying to do that. And you're the king of that, so you need to be careful. And yet he still never shuts up. And I tell him, man, watch what you say. Yeah. So if you want to see Tyler's Instagram, it's TylerTheBoardUp, right? It's TylerTheBoardUp on Instagram. At TylerTheBoardUp.

So I'm going to pay more attention to your Instagram stories so I can see what's going on. But lock that down before, like, you know, all these other ladies trying to come in and swoop in on you, mess it all up. In due time. But I got that repellent just in case. Okay, good. Yeah. It's your mouth. I was like, there's a joke here somewhere.

We hung out over the weekend. We're going to bring this up. But first of all, I want to thank bort yeah bort came with me went to alien con and we brought out my character dildar now if you don't know dildar you should check out at the woody show on instagram that's at the woody show on instagram where i put on a helmet with dildos on my head and i painted my face green and i interviewed a couple people the the best part was trying to film Menace because Dildar, if you've watched the video or maybe you haven't,

his antenna are dildos. Yeah. And so the dildos are bouncing up and down with everything he does. So trying to keep him in frame and everybody else, but the dildos keep bouncing in and out. It's something so special you just have to watch it. That's awesome.

Let's play a clip of Dildar right here. I feel like we should dock and probe um that's not really uh well my cup of tea per se but you can find probably someone here that's down for that for some docking so yeah that's what you're missing out on if you haven't seen the video go check it out go to youtube.com slash the woody show or go to at the woody show on instagram and click igtv and right after that it was such a busy day we went and we taped something with randy now explain what this was all right so this was my idea for for a takeover idea which you know some of the best ideas don't always go out the way you planned it but this is an idea that i

kind of want to flesh out and do more of because we're all about food on The Woody Show. Absolutely. And we talk a big game about food. But we don't necessarily always back it up. You know, and Randy comes in one day and he just says, hey, I'm going to go to Orachan Ramen in Little Tokyo District of Los Angeles. And I'm going to get this ramen. But I saw that they have a challenge, a spicy. Should I do it?

And I'm like, dude, this is the most violent ramen you are ever going to try in your life. I had a friend do it. Didn't turn out well for him. He's like, oh, maybe I should try it. I'm like, no, no, no. Wait. And let's go with you because we have to see if you're going to do this. I was there.

And it's funny because this is the factor that I didn't even think about. And Randy brought it up is it's piping hot. It's steaming hot. They give you 30 minutes and it's pretty much boiling. And he has to put it in his mouth and just like shovel it down. The entire roof of my mouth was burnt. And I like when his hands started shaking. That was pretty cool.

That was funny. Yeah, I'm glad he has like that. Or when he got extremely violent at me and started lashing out and his eye was twitching and watering yeah brutal dude i i like i was expecting something i guess borderline just you know how some stuff is spicy just for the hell of it i was expecting something like that i wasn't expecting it to be as piping hot as it was or as just like just thick it was very thick so you know i mean spoiler alert i mean i believe we have a video of it but spoiler you can check out the video on the woody show instagram at the woody show on instagram and the woody show ig tv if you can't

find it the spoiler is that uh our boy didn't make it i did not fail i was dude i wasn't even dude i wasn't even close he put up he put up a fight, and he tried, but I tried to give him ideas and suggestions. Man, maybe you should try this. Maybe you should do this. And he wasn't taking really the coaching, and he was chugging milk and chugging water at the same time. Randy not taking the coaching? What a surprise. I appreciate it.

Wow. That's the pot color of the kettle black right there, boy. You know why you didn't get invited? Because we get invited because we were afraid you're gonna go to cardiac arrest look i appreciate it i appreciated brett's coaching but even brett himself he had never tried it before yeah so it was like i was trying to explain it while still staying under the time and not you know burning the roof of my mouth that because of how thick it was and because of all the spices and like you know stuff that was in it heat was retaining. Like the heat wouldn't go away. Like normally your ramen eventually goes down, but because there's so much stuff in there, just, it would

not stop being hot. So I did try it afterwards. You know, Randy failed. Luckily he didn't hurl into it so I could try it. And apparently Randy had a couple of days afterwards of pain. So I tried it afterwards and the best way I could describe it, well, it was cold. It's like if you took a whole bottle of Tapatio, poured it into a spoon, and then made it very grainy and thick. And that's what it tasted like. My mouth burned.

The spice itself wasn't overbearing. It wasn't impossible to take it in. I cannot stress this enough. It's so hot when they give it to you. It's impossible because you're burning your mouth with the noodles, with the meat. Yeah. I would like some time for it to cool down.

I forgot, though. Does the timer start the second they put it on, or does it start the second you start eating it? So I found out. We should have figured that out. I found out a cheat code after. Yeah. You can wait until it cools down.

Oh, my God. But we didn't have the time because my entire mouth was trying to shovel it down. All right. Well, last podcast, we had Mark mark hoppus stop by and that was super fun and we talked to some fans and one of the fans who hosted the blink 180 dudes podcast so if you don't know we called them up and surprised them well we tried to surprise them they already knew that was mark hoppus right away because of his voice. And you guys went to The Secret Show. Yes, sir.

The podcaster, he flew out for that. And Julianne, let's get Julianne in here too. What's up, Julianne? Hey, I had a freaking blast. All three of you went. So tell me how it was. What stood out for you? Well, it wasn't at all what i anticipated

like i'd never been to something like this before okay so just to recap it's a dress rehearsal yeah so they're going on tour all over the country with little wayne so this is kind of like a practice secret show yeah and it was set up like i mean they're doing probably like full arena close to arena stadiums you know like they're doing larger venues and this was almost compacted into a uh smaller venue right you know so you had like a full production in a smaller venue that could fit about a thousand people yeah it was really intimate in parts unknown obviously because you know still undisclosed yeah but like it was so intense because there was pyro you could feel the pyro because it was full blast. Yeah.

You know, there's smoke machine full blast. There was confetti, you know, so it was. Ford swore he smoked the smoke machine. I did. He said he smelled it and then when he blew out, he was still smoking. I was right in front of it because that was the thing, you know, it was so intimate that we were front row. We were.

Front row. Like I was like right in front of matt skiba the entire time you shout any little thing out and they heard you yeah instantly and it wasn't even like we were intentionally trying to be in the front row just being there and the amount of people that were there you were just naturally that close everybody was in the front row it was i don't know that was the best thing i ever went to and i'm so happy that i went yeah i because the the place that was that was used the typically there's a court there like a basketball court and so think of being at a basketball court while a performance is going on but the performance is on the other end of the of

the court that's how close we were it was crazy awesome and on the email we were told that a good thousand people were supposed to be there it didn't even feel like a thousand like that's how intimate of a performance it was it was insane insane. That's really, really cool. So that's why you should be following The Woody Show and listening to The Woody Show morning show across the country. So at The Woody Show on Instagram and get info on contests like this and you can get into The Secret Show.

You could. You could. You can. You can. Do it. Because it's not often that you get such an intimate setting with bands, but when you can, it's... You gotta jump at those chances.

Yeah, I think this is probably the second band ever I've been in that intimate of a show with. And the only other time was Rob Zombie at the Roxy in Hollywood. And that was like a contest only, like tickets sold out in like five minutes kind of thing. And this was like even better than that because they had a full show production yeah yeah and julianne she handles a lot of contesting for the woody show and you you know people don't enter people don't enter contests no they don't no they don't i know people like call all morning long right when it comes to online like people don't enter yeah they don't and that's like the best way to win i think and i used to work in promotions and a lot of people i would see would

never enter the online contesting because they think uh they're not gonna pick me anyways well just so you know everybody thinks that so nobody enters so enter enter the win call as well to just double your chances absolutely so on august 3rd we're gonna be hanging out with a band their name is fantagram it's all 987 summer camp it happens in long beach if anybody wants to go you can get tickets at alt 987 fm.com that's alt 987 fm.com people that are going to be there as well as oliver tree half alive shade k flay the interrupters lovely the band group love cold war kids the head in the heart walk the moon and of monsters and men and of course the whole woody show crew we're going to be there as well welcome fantagram everybody

and i wanted to ask you who else on the lineup are you fans of? Are you fans of anybody? If not, it's okay. Definitely fans of Cold War Kids. Kay Flay. Kay Flay. She's a personal friend of mine. She's so awesome. She's a friend of ours as well. Very nice woman. There's a question that I wanted to ask you guys because I feel like I asked this

repetitive question and a lot of radio people do it as well and I also notice fans do it and i want to know if it's annoying so i want you guys to be totally honest okay okay do people go up to you and say i saw you at red rocks in 2015 they always have to start with i saw you here and there or half the time do you even remember well that's the that's the biggest issue is you play so many shows, you kind of forget where you are sometimes. Well, I saw you guys outside Landon's 2011. Boring.

Yeah. Boring. No, that was really good. Next conversation. Do you remember that show? I remember that show because after, actually, I don't know, you probably don't remember this because you weren't in the general area that I was. The fence fell over and then a beehive went off and then people started getting stung.

I got stung. Oh, my goodness. No way. And then there was like these gophers too. And people were, I don't know, maybe high. And they were trying to pick up the gophers and the gophers were biting them. This sounds like a Bill Murray movie. No, I swear to God on my life, that's what happened.

We actually do remember that. That was a very special day for us because that was the day that we met Big Boy. Are you serious? Yep, that was the first time we met him. We hung out with him in his trailer, and then Dave Chappelle walked in, and then we were just hanging, the four of us. And it was probably one of the best moments of my life. How soon after that did you guys start collaborating together?

Not long after. I mean, we kind of hit it off as sort of friends, I guess. And then he flew us down to Atlanta, what, like four months later? Yeah, we went down and hung out there for a week, but that was the first time. Now, I have another question for you. We talk a lot about travel. And I'm sure you guys travel the world because of what you do.

Do you have any recommendations of places that we absolutely have to go? I'm friends with, I don't know if you know Kara Faye. She sings at the band Shiny Toy Guns. I asked her the same question, but she really couldn't answer it because she says, because the way you guys travel, you don't really get to experience too much and she was talking about this time that she went to japan and she really wanted to go experience japan but all she did was stay in the hotel room do the show and then come straight oh yeah yeah it can be tough we did that in australia it was we were there for three shows and flew from london to austral, took 22 hours, got there,

literally got to take a nap, and then we had to load in or something. And then the next day fly somewhere else, next day fly somewhere else, and I saw nothing at all. We were there for five days. You were like a zombie on that trip. Yeah. Yeah, so that's very common actually yeah you get a lot of questions from people like oh that must be so awesome going all these cities

and like i've seen a lot of dressing rooms yep yeah all over the world yeah do you guys want to play the best and worst game sure first question best job window washing window washing Best job? Window washing. Window washing? Puppeteering. Puppeteering. These are jobs that you both had? No. No. No.

Okay. Worst job. Ooh, I used to have to clean bathrooms at a ski lodge. Oh, I don't want to even know the mess that you saw. Yeah, well, because on top of it just being a bathroom, you also have all the mud and crap like that

3rd in Long Beach. It's going to be so much fun. Get your tickets. Alt987fm.com That's alt987fm.com Alright guys I have a question for you. Here's a big question. I want everybody to chime in. Now you can only pick one of these technologies.

Which one would you pick and why? All right. Hear me out first. Would you have perfect VR virtual reality? Right. So like you put the headset on and you can, you know, it's like ready player one. You can pull up anything virtual reality that so like you put the headset on and you can you know it's like ready player one you can pull up anything virtual reality that you want a driverless car uber drone where it just flies over everything yeah you get to sit in it hyperloop or the option to live on Mars? Bort?

Mars. Mars? Mars. That one sounds terrifying, man. But let's say you go there and you can't come back to Earth. Great. I don't have to deal with people anymore, man. What if worst case scenario, you run out of food,

everything's going to hell, and you're stuck on Mars? Do I get a lifetime supply of food? Yeah, you get food. It's just like a new utopia. You know one of my dreams is to completely go off the grid, go live on a farm, and never have to deal with anybody ever again that I don't want to.

That's the same thing. It's a space farm. Space cows. Yes, space cows. I get to go into space. I get to feel like Luke Skywalker. I get to be on a random red planet. I'll build Transformers, and I'll just stay there and go,

huh, I wonder how everybody's doing. Oh, I don't care. All right. Nick Soundwave, what would you do? So we have the VR, perfect VR. We have driverless cars, Uber drone, Hyperloop. So if people don't know what the Hyperloop is, it's basically like this, I don't know, maybe a wind tunnel system's basically like this i don't know maybe a wind

tunnel system maybe that you sit in a tube and you could go from san francisco to los angeles in 30 minutes it's super super fast it's like the old bank tubes but like person size yeah or live on mars on the first on the like as you were laying them out the first time i was like okay um driverless car sleeping on whatever you know any kind of traffic taking a nap i hate traffic but then you dropped uber drone on us flying over traffic so without a doubt uber drone uber drone yeah i've become such a little pansy when it comes to traffic yeah with these hours you guys know there's nobody on the road when we come in first of all and then on the way home it's kind of out before you know the nighttime traffic you know the nine to fivers are on the freeway so you don't

really got to deal with too much then either yeah so I've become such a little pansy when it comes to traffic. When I'm out with people, I'm driving, any kind of backup dude, I'm like, this is God awful. And in LA, if you're on the freeway at any time past 2 p.m., you're going to be in traffic. So definitely Uber drone. Fly me everywhere. Screw traffic.

Screw the freeways. I hate it. But what if everyone gets Uber drones, and then you're screwed because the air traffic is know that's when i shift back into the cars man i go backwards in time all right tyler uh i'd probably have to save the vr the perfect vr because i mean think about it if i'm using the vr i could be on mars you could be have washboard yeah i could have i could have washboard abs i could, I could have washboard abs. I could take the Uber drone in the VR.

I could visit wherever I wanted in the VR. And you know what? At the same time, I could take off my goggles and be like, oh, my pizza's here. Like, I'm ready to go. Yeah. And the thirst could actually be real in the VR. VR.

It sounds depressing, man. The VR, though? I don't know. No. See, that's what interests me. I go back and forth between the VR and the Hyperloop because I want to get places super fast. If the Hyperloop system was set up through the country, you could get from Los Angeles to New York City in two hours.

That would rule. Getting from Los Angeles to San Francisco, 30 minutes. That would rule. But like Los Angeles to San Francisco, 30 minutes. That would rule. But like Tyler was saying, perfect VR, I could be in London. I could be in Japan. I could be anywhere in the world or any crazy thing that I can come up with with the VR. So I'm going back and forth on that.

I don't know. Wasn't there a movie with Steven, was it Sylvester Stallone? Where instead of actually having like, like sex with people, you just do it through the VR? Yeah. Was that Demolition Man? It was Demolition Man. Oh my God. They're like, we got rid of all diseases. Put on this VR helmet and then you have sex.

See, now I wouldn't want that but then again they had the fast food wars in that movie where taco bell won and taco bell ruled everything and i support it i support that too not a sponsor i wholeheartedly support that please be a sponsor i welcome please be a sponsor please please i wholeheartedly uh welcome our taco bell overlords yeah but i know i think i would shoot i'm i'm team uh nick soundwave here I think I'd definitely go with the Uber drone because if you think about like driverless cars sounds great and all but I can just be taken from point A to point B with zero traffic

yeah but let me sell you on the Hyperloop the Hyperloop would be way faster than Uber drone it's like teleporting but is the Hyperloop going to have an exit on Sepulveda or something? it'd be cool but then I'm in San Francisco and everything's still in LA. I need a quick little off at like 4.5 and the 101 or something.

I think the Hyperloop would have different tubes that go to different areas. I know, but it would take one and a half seconds to go from here to... I gotta, oh crap, I overshot work by 3,000 miles. We'll just hop back on and go back the other way. All right, now that nick soundwave is talking i want to ask you a question nick soundwave has come up every single podcast this freaking fine pikachu game that you play pokemon go then we posted we posted up on our instagram at what's a new pod that's at what's new pod. Everybody's user codes or whatever.

We put it up there. And a lot of people have been adding you, right? Oh yeah. Yeah. A ton of people. And then you've been giving gifts or getting gifts or whatever. Too many,

too many people. Now I don't have enough gifts for everybody. I saw people comment on your post, like tell them to send us gifts. Like, dude, I don't have anything to send. We're getting over 30 gifts a day and we're not even collecting one a day.

I feel really bad. I really do. Like I, I accept all this stuff from people and I can't send anything to anybody else. Alright, now since you're the expert you're the one that plays the most. While all this was going on

the new app dropped. It was that Harry Potter game. What's it called? Wizarding World or Wizarding World? I don't know. You don't even know what it is. I'm not sure. Ravy had me come in and try to help her with the augmented reality camera because it's kind of

similar to Pokemon's you can kind of find it and then you open the camera and it looks like it's on your desk or whatever

you don't even know the name because my next question was going to be are you playing it no no I'm not playing it I'm playing Pokemon

because yeah he's losers I heard when it got announced people were like oh well we're going to have Nick Soundwave have to show us. I'm like, maybe he'll play. I'm like, there's no way in hell he's playing that game. You're Pokemon for life?

That's the thing. Like, I'm not trashing Harry Potter because, I mean, I grew up on Harry Potter, read the books, saw the movies. But Pokemon Go is just different. Pokemon Grow and Pokemon was like my child childhood. And it was always a thing. It's like, what if? What if? What if?

And now it's fun, you know. Look, if you don't bash Harry Potter, I will. Easily, I will. Lob it up. The app is called Harry Potter Wizards Unite. And I put out a tweet on, well, actually my podcast, but it's the Bortcast on Twitter. And I'm wondering, is there going to be like rivalries now

between Pokemon Go players and Harry Potter Wizards Unite? Because they use the same map technology to go to places where items are and Pokemon and gyms or whatever Harry Potter has. I guess that game with the dumb ball that they have to catch and stuff. Are there going to be rival gang battles? Are there going to be beefs?

Are people going to wear special jackets? This is Pokemon Go area. I'm assuming you would need something to identify by because if you just roll up, hey. That's my spot, bro. What set you repping?

Yeah. Pokemon. Yeah, that's right. Well, I assume if you have a wand, you're a wizard fan. And if you don't, you're probably a Pokemon fan. Can you imagine someone walking around with a wand?

Here's my other thing. The whole reason we found out that Nick Soundwave plays Pokemon Go is through the iWatch activity app, and he was just blowing everybody away. I'm like, what is this guy doing? He's all over the place, and that's why he's probably so skinny, right?

Somebody that's not skinny is Tyler. Now, Tyler, look, I'm not skinny either. Look, we're keeping it 100. This was brought up about a week ago on the show. Tyler, there's no way. I had no idea that you weigh over 300 pounds. I'm 320. I'm 320.

320. I thought you were way under. I thought you were like maybe 280. Yeah, I thought he was 280 also. I appreciate that. I just want to say that you wear very well. Oh, thank you. Yeah. I appreciate that. I just want to say that you wear it very well. Oh, thank you. Yeah.

I appreciate that. Are you going to go to the gym? I'm not shaming you into going to the gym at all because who am I to say anything? But I was wondering, do you plan on losing any other weight or are you just going to rock it? Because you rock it so well. The ego grows by a tiny bit. Oh, my God. Oh, here he goes. so well the ego grows by a tiny bit yeah oh my god oh here we go oh man the thirst is real growing as we speak i wear this 320 very well you know it's it's funny that you mentioned that

because i actually uh stopped by the planet fitness at my house and i picked up like the chip is the cheapest uh gym pass that they had are you gonna do it or what i've been twice already i've been trying to convince him to bump it up to like the pass that they had. Are you going to do it or what? I've been twice already. I've been trying to convince him to bump it up to the premium one because the premium one, you get massage chairs, all those cool features. You can bring somebody with you. I'm assuming you're going to be the one that's going to pay the premium money. It's $10 more, dude.

I'm on a very tight budget. Yeah, that's right. You are on a very tight budget, Armand. I mean, this is coming from the guy that's the most, like, cheapest one of us all here, Randy, who complains about spending $3 extra for anything, yet he'll drop $1,400 on video games, apparently. Pre-order. This is the guy who has his life fortune invested in toys. Proudly.

Jeez. And I still pay all my rent. And those toys have, like, really good, like, sellback value and all that stuff, so. Yeah. I mean, they just grow the longer they're kept in the box. Yeah, so suck it. Brett doesn't keep them in the box. Oh, and you ripped the stickers off of exclusive toys that I buy you. I'm not going to resell them. Why would

it matter if I ripped the sticker off? Speaking about working out, Randy, how are you doing? I've lost 10 pounds. Primarily through diet. It's weird. You cut like a certain food group or like sugar or something and you just feel good man oh yeah you feel way more i i definitely i think the one factor that i definitely need to bring into the equation though is sleep yes that's messing me up man i know i look over

sometimes and do this guy he's like his eyes are on the back of his head. Oh, yeah, man. Like, I'm here, but I'm not here. Which is funny, man, because I think me and men sleep way less than you do. And sometimes we just look over. What are you doing? You know what it might be, though? Legit, what it might be is I went to the doctor, and he did his whole measurement thing.

And he said, because my neck is very thick. Here we go again. No, I swear. I swear to you. I swear to you. I swear to you. I could be prone to sleep apnea. And when you have sleep apnea, it messes up your quality of sleep. So you and I could sleep eight hours.

But because your neck is a normal size, your sleep is going to be exponentially better than my sleep. Because of, you know. He's such a hypochondriac. Hold on. Hold on. Don't be dead serious. I can't believe I'm about to do this

I'm gonna agree with him on this so fat neck syndrome fat neck syndrome it's a thing it's that it's just like

fat syndrome because it's like it's literally just like your stuff starts weighing down your esophagus when you're fat

when you're laying flat so it starts pushing your airplane look I was I naturally always had a big neck, though. Look at the size of my head. I had big tonsils. I was someone who did suffer from the sleep apnea. Apparently, my tonsils were massive.

Okay, here we go. All right. This hasn't been brought up. Hold on. This hasn't been brought up in quite a long time, probably almost a year, on the Woody Show. Randy was going on the air saying, I got fat tonsils. That's why my voice is so deep.

I need to get my tonsils removed. Now you're saying you have fat tonsils and fat neck too? I had fat tonsils because I had them removed. That Randy's dream. So here's the thing though. He had an actually modern medicine doctor. He's like, we should probably get that out. Yeah.

Okay. So here's the thing is that I went to the doctor and he's like dude your tonsils are the size of golf balls and i was like okay and then like he showed me in the mirror and i looked i was like oh my god like they're massive so went to a doctor over at usc he removed them and during that surgery they also knocked me out for a little bit more because they did this thing to my nose i guess the easiest way to explain it is they broke it and they reset it in order to make the airwaves bigger yeah ever since then i've been sleeping like eight hours and when i actually wake up i feel super well wait you had

your nose broken essentially yeah that's the easiest way to say it is they kind of like broke it and then they reset it wait they took out your tassels and broke your nose yeah did you get like black eyes or anything like that like in the movies it wasn't i didn't get black eyes but i had a splint in my nose for about three weeks that's how that absolutely so hot right uh ladies were like all over you the thirst is real right now bro yeah the thirst all the uh it was just gross all right let's just look at that damn so randy are you gonna get tassels removed and Tijuana or something? No.

I mean, I'm just going to. You're off that now. Now you're worried about your fat neck. If you guys remember, it was like two, three months ago, I went to that sleep study. And I went there. And they were like, okay, we'll send it to your doctor. The doctor called you back. And I went to my doctor.

He's like, oh. And I go to the front desk. He's like, oh, yeah, your insurance changed your doctor. I'm like, oh, cool. Thanks for letting me know, guys. So now I have to wait to find another doctor and go meet up with them and go over the results. So we'll see. I don't know.

Maybe I'll need something done. We'll find out. Well, we'll find out. All right, guys. I think that's it for today's podcast.
