On this epiode Tyler vs. Free Food, Knotts Talk, EDC chat & more!!!

What's new? What's new with Metis? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Metis. I'm joined by Borch, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show, a morning show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. Hello. We also are joined by our friend Eric, a.k.a. Soundwave, who works for the NFL podcasting network he is coming to us live from Downey California not in the same room but in the same building we also have Randy who also works for the NFL podcasting network and we have our friend Tyler who's in the city right next to them Whittier California coming to us live he works for the Better Sports Network. Now, let me just start this podcast with that.

We have a little situation. Eric is pulling a Bo Jackson, and he has the hiccups right now. What's up, Bo? How you doing? Yeah, they are quite annoying right now. I get gnarly hiccups, dude. I come from my toes up out of my head. Ah, the worst, right?

I'm trying to control them. Back in my hometown of the bay area there's a newscast i love it's like kind of like you know how people love ktla in los angeles well a lot of people in the bay area they love ktvu and one of the iconic newscasters his name is dennis richmond he had hiccups just like you for a year straight, and he was able to still do the news. It was crazy. I would go insane. I can't really handle him for like, I mean, I've had him for what?

Probably 15 minutes or so right now since we started before we started recording. Yeah. My God, dude. Nothing annoys me more. Sneezing and hiccups, dude. Oh, my God. Have you been keeping up with the Bo Jackson stuff that he's going to go do a surgery to try to get rid of the hiccups that he's been having for a long time? Yeah, I don't understand how you is because it's just like your diaphragm has to reset.

So like constant muscle spasm, basically, that he's had forever for a long time. Yeah, I would go insane just for the young kids out there who don't know who Bo Jackson is. Bo Jackson was an iconic sports player who played for the Kansas City Royals. Was it Kansas City Royals at the time? I don't know, but he played for the Royals and he played for the Raiders at the same time. And he was like one of the original Nike pitchmen. Bo knows best was the slogan. I mean, he was huge when i was a kid but then he ended up having hip surgery and then kind of fell out of the limelight but he was a massive iconic sports guy for a long time i'm not gonna lie when you said bojackson i just kept thinking bojack horseman this entire time oh really

i was thinking eric was just doing a skit from bojack horseman. No. Eric, what I used to do is I kind of just gag myself like I'm going to throw up. Right? Oh, my God. It's kind of like what we talk about on The Woody Show, a menace reset. And that kind of works for me to stop hiccuping. So just throwing that out there. I usually reset myself. I do a couple deep breaths and hold my breath in between.

But it's kind of hard to sit here and hold my breath while we're recording a podcast. All right. If you hear a thud, I might have just passed out from holding my breath back here. Okay, well, maybe all this talking will help you out. Now, you weren't here last podcast because you guys were busy. Eric and Randy, you work for the NFL, and it was kind of a big week for the NFL. The schedules dropped. Very exciting. So we didn't get to recap Las Vegas,

and Tyler kind of gave us a little insight on what you did after we recorded our podcast. Now, he said that you guys pretty much just hung out at the wind pool, and then you went upstairs and enjoyed some room service and watched the Lakers game. Is that true, or is there any little stories you think we kind of missed? The room service at the end of the night was probably the highlight of his weekend because we were sitting there having some beers, watching the hockey game. And we're like, why are we going to go to dinner?

We could just go back to our room, order some room service through the wind. I mean, I had some earlier in the day. It was delicious. And we're like, yeah, let's sit there. And luckily, me and my wife, Leanne, ended up in a room with two beds because we slept on the second bed after the room service night. Because Tyler was like king of the castle, just laid out on the one bed. And he was ordering like he was, yeah, you know, he was like demanding almost.

Wow, really? And he's like, just to make sure, just to make sure. And then when the food came, I mean, I don't know how many people have done room service and stuff. It's kind of, I don't know. I haven't done it a lot. So it's always kind of awkward when they come in and they bring your food. But I've usually done it to me and my wife. It's not a big order, right?

So they just kind of wheel the table in. Your food's kind of already set up. Well, we ordered a big order. You know, it was me, Randy, my wife, Tyler. Got some big boys up in this room. Yeah, dude. And we had some, some you know some calm food so we're like let's tyler's like you know what you don't know the lobster quesadilla let's just add

it sure man whatever and dan in there watching is waiting to tip this dude it was by far the most awkward experience oh he's waiting for you to tip him no no no he was standing there just like kind of like counting cash we're getting waiting to tip the guy who brought the food. And this guy is pulling out plate after plate after plate. We had two full tables of food in our room at the end of it all, dude. Yeah. And it was just, I think, yeah. And then Tyler sat there at the end, just kind of like right in front of the TV.

And yeah, it was, it was very King of the Castle vibes. He just, he just put up shop right on our bed and right on our table. The only reason I put up shop on the bed is because there was a couch in your room and Randy has just sprawled all over this thing. Well, it's not their bed. Are these

guys just relaxing up in your room? Spread Eagle? I expected this to happen, but hold on. This couch was ginormous, and the purpose of the couch there is to entertain the guests. Tyler had plenty of room. Then you throw your feet up on the ottoman. I'm not putting my feet up.

I'm sorry. What are you going to do here, okay? Tyler has class. Come on. Safari boys. I'll send you a photo of some of our spreads. Oh, yes, please. I want to see it.

Way, way too much. It also didn't help because Tyler just saw what you guys could get and the allotment. Tyler actually did that when I was eating with the guys. I was saying, you get whatever you want. Get whatever you want. You just put it on my tab. I'm like, your tab is kind of the collective tab for everybody.

Yeah. He was trying to big D us, dude, because we were at dinner at that. It's a nice little sushi noodle spot at the win. He's like, you know what? I'm going to order another one for the table, guys. Okay, I'm going to... Everybody saw how good it was and they were like, okay, we'll just get another one and we'll split it.

His big thing that weekend was lobster. That was Tyler's thing. Lobster, lobster, lobster. That's true. I love lobster. I'm going to go ahead and do another lobster roll. And the best part about these rolls, the lobster rolls, is that they had gold flakes on them. Oh, yeah.

I will do another roll, please. He barely mentioned that last podcast. Yeah. Also, for the record, the menu did not say there were gold flakes on it. That was just a nice welcome surprise. No, I know. I know.

One of the funnier things, though, about the weekend was Tyler had... So we recorded at Blue Wire before we went to that dinner. So Tyler brought us some alcohol, you know,

very nice gesture. He brought some buzz balls. He brought these Mountain Dew hard seltzers or whatever. Very good, you know, nice gesture. Thank you.

Drank them. They were delicious. But the funny thing is, like, the wind's a nice spot you know nice spot class you got tyler walking around you know us like the four or five of us went to dinner not exactly our crowd but you know we're sitting there whatever we're gonna eat every now and then when we would get going tyler would like join in on the conversation dude and i'm looking at these people over his shoulders and they were giving him the death stare dude so his stuff just how loud he was talking i'm just like dude tyler's basically in their meal and he's just taught just you know you know how tyler stories are go sometimes it's like these people are so pissed i think i think there was like four four occasions that entire

weekend where eric had to tell tyler like why are you yelling? I'm like, bro, just chill out, bro. Like, literally, I'm like, dude, quiet. Be quiet, dude. But honestly, dude, like... To the people giving me the death stare, I don't know if they're going to watch this or whatever, but to the people giving me the death stare, sucks to suck, okay? Get out of here.

That weekend was Tyler's My Fancy Santa Monica Hotel. I show up in a Don't Call Steve Austin flip-flop. I've been to Vegas with Tyler a couple times now. When he gets out there, man, it's like a dog at the dog park for the first time. It's like, bro, relax. Chill out, dude. He does have this aura of confidence and excitement.

To Tyler's credit, props to him for you know wanting to get all that extra booze all the alcohol try different things and give it to all of us but like on the flip side of that he hands me this giant ass hard mountain dew man and i have an uber coming for me in about five five ten minutes he's like dude just drink it real fast drink it real fast come on drink it you know get a fancy restaurant. I have to slip it back to him in his giant backpack full of drinks. I'm like, I can't finish this. There's no way

I can get this. And I had to have Randy drive it back from Vegas for me, which I'm still waiting on. Yeah. Well, speaking of Vegas, I'm back in Vegas this weekend, and I'm leaving tonight. You live there. And, yeah, and it sucks that you guys aren't there, because I'm back in Vegas this weekend, and I'm leaving tonight. You live there.

And, yeah, and it sucks that you guys aren't there because I would love to have you there because, Eric, guess where I'm going to be tonight? Are you going? I'm going to EDC. Oh, my God. But before EDC, I'm going to try to slip in, guys, Savannah Bananas. I have a ticket to the game tonight, and I have tickets to EDC. I'm trying to do all of them in one day because EDC obviously goes all night,

so I won't miss anything there. But if you're listening to this podcast today, which we're recording on a Friday, and then Saturday is May 20th, the whole reason I'm going to be in Las Vegas is I'm going to be there for a new Daiso opening that's happening from 3 to 5 p.m. You can come hang out with me. I'm going to have some giveaways for you. And it is at Montecito Crossing Center. Again, this is in Las Vegas, not Montecito, California.

This is in the Vegas area, Montecito Crossing Center. Come hang out with me from 3 to 5 p.m. if you're listening to this podcast. But, Eric, I would love to see you in your element at EDC. Yeah, dude. You guys got a taste, a little brief taste of it at Coachella. The EDM

tents found me. Pretty much, it's like I could feel it on the ground. I found the EDM stages. I mean, that's all EDC. I meanc i mean the desert eric is different and then once the sun goes down and the edc is just it starts at 7 p.m like it's not a day thing it's a from 7 p.m to like 6 a.m kind of thing yeah i'm actually looking at the lineup right now you got me intrigued by it so i know you actually texted me if i if i wanted to go but you know i got a i got a honeymoon in a couple weeks yeah i should probably you know pull back on some of the spending a little bit. Oh, yeah, the delayed honeymoon is coming.

Yeah, dude, Hawaii. I have a countdown on my fridge. I'm looking at around 24 days, guys. Oh, damn, nice. Who's counting? That's awesome. This could be awesome. Yeah, tonight is going to be Marshmallow, Infected Mushroom,

a couple other people. But do you know who's also DJing, which I'm really excited about? I hope we get a chance to meet up. We were talking a little bit on the internet. It's Justin from Justin.TV, who is also the co-founder of Twitch. He DJs now. He's been DJing out in Burning Man and stuff like that, but he also has a spot at EDC.

So it's going to be fun to maybe see him do that. If you are listening and you're going to go to EDC, look out for Justin. You can follow him on Instagram at JustinKAN. Check him out. He'll have all the details there. I would actually love to see Eric dress you all up for EDC. Based on the Safari Boys getup for Randy and Tyler, Eric, how creative do you think you would be with these guys,

dressing them up for an EDM Fest? We would need to get some neon on them. Tyler would probably end up looking like a giant traffic cone. Randy, though, I think Randy would be good to go character-wise. Tyler, I would go full neon, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green. It's at night. Yeah, yeah. But Randy, I think it'd be good

to lean into, he dresses up as a character. I don't know, I haven't been to EDC in a while, so I don't know what the trendy cartoon characters are, the totems and all that crap, but Randy, I think we could get into maybe dressing him up as the Up character or something. Oh, yeah. The little boy, little boy scout.

Or the old man. Kyler has so much mass. It'd be great just to dress him up in head-to-toe reflective neons. Any black light, any dark moment, he's like a beacon in the sky. Also, last podcast, you missed our little

recap talking about the schedule for the football season. I know that's all you guys worked on last week. We're talking about the Chargers. I know that's all you guys worked on last week. And we're talking about the Chargers. I really didn't get a chance to talk about the Charger preseason games. Dude, you can go to a Chargers preseason game. Like, you are at the top of SoFi Stadium. But if you've never been there and you don't feel like spending a lot of money,

$10 you can get tickets. And you can get yourself into the stadium and check out a preseason game. The Chargers versus the rams is happening august 12th so if you want to check and of course the regular season jumps off uh september 10th with the dolphins with the chargers but uh what about you guys what are you excited for on the schedule anything that you're like i gotta go to this game i know we already talked about december 23rd for you eric with the bills versus the chargers i know you're really excited about that i know i've been telling randy and

tyler i've been mapping out that i mean because nfl schedule it's like a kind of like um rotation you kind of know who they're playing for the next like four years or you know possibilities so they get matched up with divisions so i knew the bills were playing the afc west last season so but they have to end up matched up with another team or it depends. So I knew they were coming West. It ended up being the Chargers. I know the Bills are coming to SoFi next year after the season to play the Rams. But yeah, I've been waiting for the schedule release because obviously it's a big day for

not only our jobs, but just as Bills fans, NFL fans in general. And yeah, I couldn't have lined up any better for me. A Saturday all season. I have Saturdays off because the NFL starts on Sundays. I shouldn't mess up with anything right down the street. I mean, three days before my birthday could not have lined up any better. But I mean, the schedule in general, I think, was kind of beefed up. You got the Chiefs and the Lions.

The Lions were kind of like a Cinderella team last year, almost got into the playoffs against the Chiefs to open the season. They got some good international games. But yeah, I mean, obviously the 23rd of December, Bills in L.A. against the Chiefs to open the season. They got some good international games. But yeah, I mean, obviously the 23rd of December, Bills in LA against the Chargers is my star on the calendar. Randy, what about you? Yeah, October 1st, the Raiders come to town. I personally love being around Raider fans.

They're so interesting. They're a spectacle. And most importantly, I love being around them when they're not playing against my team. So I just kind of chill, sit back and like to like sort of like people watch and just watch fans go crazy and just act you know act a fool so uh it's it's it's always a lot of fun and uh you know i do want to see the lions when they come to town also uh their arrival of my favorite team the packers but um they're just just a young and they're an exciting team so i'd love to see them in person.

Wait, you know what? There is one disappointment on the schedule because we were talking to our Kansas City radio station about doing a couple visits, and I was telling Woody and Ravy, I was like, oh, dude, we should just do one around a game that you guys would be interested in. And I looked, and the Steelers aren't playing the Chiefs. What's up with that yeah but they yeah it's probably the they're probably divisions probably don't match up i

think they they did the steeler i mean i don't know yeah it seems like i'm looking at the chief schedule right now they do play one team from the nfc north but it is the bangles which i'm sure they would not be interested yeah probably the, probably not. The number one teams from the divisions, yeah. We're probably going to go to a Raiders game, though, in late September. That's going to be pretty fun. Alright, Eric, what's the update on your car? What's the car situation? We talked a couple pods ago

that you had another car accident. Not your fault. Any updates on that? How are you getting around town? Oh, man, I'm rolling around and my mom's murdered out Fiat. I think you guys should be Fiat. Yes! My mom's unnecessarily, like, gangster Fiat. Black on black.

Yeah, I'm just kind of waiting for it to get repaired. I mean, they're handling it all. I got to pay a deductible. I'm hoping that, like, I go through some process and I get that money back. But, you know, it's saving me, you know, thousands of dollars. I guess that's why you pay for insurance. But, yeah, I'm driving around in the Fiat until, I think, a back. But, you know, it's saving me, you know, thousands of dollars. I guess that's why you pay for insurance. But, yeah, I'm driving around in the Fiat until I think a week from today, actually, it's scheduled to be done.

I did see it. No front bumper. Oh, no. And I'm like, I looked at it. I'm like, oh, damn, my car, you know? It's like now I miss it again. But, yeah, I should have it in a week if all goes to plan, a week from today. Nice.

All right, good. A month, just over a month without it. That would be, it's going to be nice to have it again, man. It must be so inconvenient. It sucks. Yeah, it's such a hassle. All right, you guys want some food news? Oh, yeah.

Food news. All right, dude, this is awesome. When I first saw this news and heard about it, I was like, now we're talking. Heinz now has its own remix machine. So basically, you know, the Coke machines that you see at the movie theater. Right. And you can like mix up all the different flavors. You can now do that with Heinz and you can make over 200 custom combination blends with all the Heinz products.

Are you all in or all out? I love me some condiments. I'm down. Yeah. We're talking about mustard and ketchup and mayonnaise together. I'm sorry. That's a drop right there. I love me some condiments.

Tell me where it's at and I'm there. Tyler hasn't jumped in. I'm not going to lie. I hate to admit that I'm all in on it, but I'm all in on it. Why would you hate to admit it? Because I'm already it but i'm all in on it and i'm why would you hate to admit it because i'm already fat it just speaks for itself so that's why okay you're saying it's a waste just to ask you yeah i'm just saying like you already know my answer continue all right all right true that true that yeah down if i can mix uh any spicy sauce in with ranch or whatever else down. How about this?

Did you hear that Modelo debuts spiked agua frescas? Are you all in or all out? Everything's getting spiked, guys. Even Sunny D and Mountain Dew. Let's go to our resident giant Modelo fan and seltzer fan. I'm in. I'm all in. I'm 100%.

You throw Modelo in. So it's going to be like it's just, just I mean obviously it's not a beer so an agua fresca is like a lemonade right sorry my white is showing agua fresca is like a lemonade juice

kind of thing kind of like you know all those big glass barrels that you see okay and they have all the different flavors

yeah oh yeah I'm in so imagine that with alcohol I'd be all in if I watched somebody just grab a bottle of Tito's

and just poured it into those little mixer things like yeah right there it's perfect did you guys see on my social media that new topanga social food hall that i posted yes dude yeah dude it's lit right they had over 23 different restaurants i only got a chance to try two of the restaurants but i loved shrimp daddy because it reminds me of when I'm in Hawaii. Or at L.A. County Fair, O.C. Fair, where you get the pineapple and it's just full of shrimp and mac and cheese and rice. It was so freaking good. So if you don't know where it is, it's Topanga Mall.

It's connected right next to the movie theater. So you can probably have a pretty cool, fun experience going to the movies and checking out this new food hall these are popping up all over the place he's kind of like high-end food courts yeah yeah like they have one in long beach that i go to i mean we've been there actually when we went to wahoos in long beach yeah called the hangar in long beach it's kind of a play on like because the airport's right there i know there's one in um called rodeo 39 i love these little like it's just a little hub you usually have like a little bar i know there's one in the hangar called like bottle craft or something like that yeah there's one in ontario

too tons of food usually some decent beer look at downtown la the one that's been there forever grand central market menace kind of on that, I remember seeing an article about how some food places are choosing to open up shop in old abandoned malls or malls that have retail space open. And I think based off of Topanga and the success of Rodeo 39 and The Hanger, I think it'd be pretty smart to start doing those in these old vacant malls because it'd bring hell of business, I feel. Yeah, and then that also adds to Topanga. Because, I mean, when I was growing up, Topanga Mall was, you know, a three-piece stretched, you know, a walkways connecting to these different sections of the mall. But, like, over time, they've remodeled every section of this mall. And this is the latest addition to one of the redeveloped mall pieces. And it really, really rounds out that entire stretch area.

Like, you have, like, all the shops, primarily one area. You got a movie theater now with this high-end food court. And it just is an awesome time going and hanging out over there now. And I think they're going to have a job fair soon, actually. So if you're looking for a job or maybe some younger people that want a cool gig, I'm telling you, this place is legit. It's awesome. I loved working at the mall when I worked at the mall.

Ooh, food discounts. Yeah, there were bad food discounts. See, I didn't want to say, Tyler, do you need extra hours? But I was like, maybe Tyler needs a couple hours for some food discounts. I mean, you guys, at this point, you all know I worked at Lids at the mall when I was in Texas. And I'm not going to lie. There's some days I kind of think about it. I about him like that was actually kind of a fun job i miss it a little bit yeah it was fun you know what i'm surprised tyler aspect to it yeah certainly i

you know what's funny though tyler has always just kind of like his his demeanor and the guy he is always just kind of like smelled like food truck to me i'm surprised he's never adventured into doing food truck stuff i could just totally see him being like a cook it's too hot it's way too hot for him honestly i don't see tyler as the cook but i see him as the guy that takes your order you know yeah yeah he has that i could do that yeah you mean you walk up somebody walks up they're all excited for the food truck, and he's just like, what's up? What's up? What do you want? And then he has his hat all tilted.

What do you want? All dumb. So what are you guys into before I get your order? What do you see yourself eating? Tyler would be perfect for the order guy in a food truck because he's horrible on the mic on the podcast and in life, and they're always so bad at it. That's funny. Tyler would be so bad on that mic too. All right.

We love you, Tyler. Okay. How about this? Some tech news. Did you see now, Tyler, you wouldn't even have to get on the mic because did you see the new iPhone has a new AI voice that you can use? Now there's a lot of programs out there that already does this, but the AI voice, you read a script for about 15 minutes straight, and then you would be able to type texts that will read it out in your own voice to other people. Are you all in or all out?

Uh, I don't know, man. Like I'm like, I'm on the fence about the whole AI thing. Like, okay, obviously, in some circumstances, it could be very helpful, very beneficial. But now, you already know that someone out there is going to twist this and make it like in a, I don't know, just make it like in a non-useful, like bad slash evil. I don't know. I'm just kind of done with it.

Of Tyler's AI voice. I'm going to have some fun with that. Let's not do that. Have any of us ever heard Tyler read anything? What's your reading ability, Tyler? Yeah. Oh. I mean, I can read fairly well.

Like, if I see, like, a really big word, I might slip up real quick. But Tyler said on the last pod that he read a book. Yeah. Oh, my God. That was so funny. His power went out. And he was like, he was like, He didn't share that part.

Yeah, we didn't know that information. I guess I'll read. Okay. So going back a couple weeks ago, we had to get a new electrical panel put in on the side of the house, like new breakers, like all that stuff like that. So while the guys are doing it, they're like, hey, the power is going to be out for about like 10, 12 hours. So we're like, okay.

So my brother got me this book for Christmas. Uh, it's called freezing cold takes. And it's like on the NFL, anybody who follows the freezing cold takes Twitter page, you basically know what it is. And I gave it a read and it was really, really good. I think I knocked out pretty much like three quarters of the book, like that day day alone so like i was just flying through it but randy brought up a good point he's like i love that how it took your power getting knocked out for you to finally open a book and i'm like yeah you're probably right and as much as i want to crap on him uh my power also went out a couple weeks ago and i read 130 pages of a book. I was wondering where Randy started that from. I don't care. The power better be out on my phone as well.

Dude, it was so funny because the stars aligned perfectly. I was telling Eric about how all my work had cleared up. I was chilling at home. I was like, oh, it's perfect. I have a free day just to be here, do some stuff around the house, chill out. And then my power goes out. And I'm like, well, I guess I'll just read. I can assume that was also your cadence when you were doing it.

You're like, man, my life is really miserable right now. I have no power. I guess I'll just read. We survived. Yeah. We survived. Have you guys now- That's what they did back in the old days.

Back in the before time. It's a long, long ago. I know. The before time. Here's the thing. People, embrace AI, learn AI, or you're going to die. You're going to fall off.

Jesus Christ. No, for real. I'm telling you, in the workplace, you're going to become obsolete if you don't... Now, AI's not going to just take your jab. It's not going to do that. But it will make your job so much easier.

All my free time is learning AI stuff. And it's like for what we do, video, audio enhancing, graphics, all that kind of stuff. I'm telling you, it's not going to take your job. It's just going to make your life so much easier if you just sit down and you learn this stuff. Menace did turn me into the Joker on our plane ride the other day. i gotta admit i look pretty dope as a joker pretty cool right but no here's something that i did here's a perfect example of how i use the ai so you have apps on your phone now that are fully ai compatible and so the when the breaking news happened with TikTok and how it was getting banned in Montana, I took a screenshot of a tweet. I uploaded it, uploaded it to the AI app, and it rewrote the tweet into a different voice.

And then I tweeted that out. So instead of me just copying it word for word, I was able to remix it and then put it out. It was dope, man. I'm telling you. It makes your life easier. Or imagine, you know how long it takes me to write an email? You've been there. I literally shared this story the other day where I was trying to leave once,

and Menace would not give me the goodbye fist bump for 20, 30 minutes. I'm like, why does he not want to say goodbye to me? And then finally he was like, I need you to proofread this email. I'm like, damn it. That's why I'm still here. Yes. I'm telling you, embrace it. Embrace it.

All right. Some other fun news. Fast X, did you get your tickets yet? Tyler, you said that. I have not. What? What? You're our fast correspondent, dude.

I know. I know. I'm very well aware. I will watch it this weekend. I have been kind of swamped with work. Oh, okay. I know. I know. I'm very well aware. I will watch it this weekend. I have been kind of swamped with work. Oh, okay. I haven't had time, so I'm just like, you know, it's fine. The movie's still going to be there after like two days.

I'll go watch it this weekend. You're a fan. I guess work comes before family, and you're not there when family needs you. Don't you give me that shit back. Dude, I'm ripping out for it, man. I can't wait, I'm ripping out for it, man. I can't wait. I'm ripping out for it, too. I saw the trailer.

I saw everything. And supposedly, I think I sent this to you guys a couple days ago. Now they're splitting it into three movies instead of two. So it's just like, okay. So when it's all said and done done this franchise is going to be about 13 movies long which is hell yeah it's about 11 too many wow imagine going back in time and talking to like a movie buff in the 70s or 80s and them being like wow wouldn't it be incredible to see a story that goes over more than 10 movies and then being like in the 2000s there will be one

yeah and it's gonna be about racing cars. Not just one. You have a whole series about wizards and a whole series about a freaking space western and now cars. Yeah, but Fast X crushing all of them because it's consistent with all the same actors and all that kind of stuff. It's not that consistent.

There's no way. They were stealing portable DVD players. Thank you! Yes, that's how it started. And 13 movies later, like what the hell? They were stealing portable DVD players. Thank you. Yes. Yes. That's how it started. And 13 movies later, like what the hell? I made this.

Exactly, dude. Dude, that's exactly what I'm saying. F Harry Potter that movie. Nobody needs that. But check this out. This is what's crazy. And I mentioned this on the show today. When we're talking about Fast X, I go, do you know what's weird is that little kids that are watching fast x think

if they went back and watched the first fast and furious they think all those cars that were in that movie are classic cars you know like old hondas and all that kind of stuff like for me it's all the hot rods and you know old corvettes and stuff like that. But a classic car for a little kid now has to be like a Honda. Or weirder, they're going to look at those cars and be like, wow, these CGI cars don't really look that CGI. What the heck? They're real freaking cars, man. Oh my God, going back to the AI thing real quick.

So you know how you can type in something into AI? I was showing you guys a French bulldog eating pizza in our group chat the other day oh yeah but there is type to video it's still really really new it's not super clear probably within the next year or two it'll be like legit like using a video camera but it is a trip dude and of course everything has to be political so the first first example I saw, it was like Donald Trump and Barack Obama dancing in the Oval Office. Right. But that's all they typed in.

The video was made. It was crazy. I mean, you know, it's pretty wild. The bad part of this is my brain just went down a dark rabbit hole of people, probably like Tyler, who are going to go, you know, I think I really want to watch some very interesting porn today. It just starts typing in like the most. Why am I getting confused in this? I want to watch this guy in a panda bear do this weird stuff right now. I don't.

I would like to take this moment on the podcast to say I have never searched for anything weird like that. Please do not insert me with those people. This is me abstaining. I do not do that. Thank you. This is not Fast and the Furious. Bangs the Transformers. Oh, dude.

Hell yeah. All right. Okay. We won't go down that rabbit hole too much on this pod. Maybe in the future. All right. Switching subjects. Are you guys disappointed about El Nino?

Do you even know what's going on with El Nino and El Nino? I don't know what El Nino is. I saw. El Nino just means more rain, which I'm cool with that. Oh, okay. Because this is the thing. Yes. Here in Southern California, we might have more rain all the way until the end of

the year and el nina way up north let's say seattle and stuff like that right now it's usually you know crazy rainy it is 90 degrees oh well you know what that sounds like their problem not ours and i have been waiting decades for this to come back i I loved the rain when we had El Nino when I was a kid. I want it back. Give us the rain. Have you guys seen how beautiful the mountains are with rain? They're actually green again. Thank you.

My wife was looking. She was like, when did the mountains become green? I'm like, the moment it actually rained for once. They're not brown and nasty anymore. It's a trip. When I drive out to the Coachella Valley, that has been just brown for years. Yeah. And just seeing it green is awesome.

It's beautiful. But I don't want any more rain. Just keep it. No, give me all the rain. No. You guys have a longer commute than we do. You guys want to drive through the rain from where you're at to Inglewood? I've been very quiet because I'm not a fan.

Yes. Thank you. I'm not a fan of the rain in October, November, December. I'll even give it to February, but dude. No, not summer rain. You've had your son for many, many years with very little rain. Just give me this one year with rain. That's all I'm asking, just one year.

Anyways. Oh, real quick, going back to movies. I'm sorry, I skipped over it. Next week is super exciting I don't know if you guys have been following with the Woody show Dude we're doing the Red carpet premiere of The Machine With Bert Kreischer

Oh dope dude Dude and I can't give away all the details But the way that he's doing the red carpet I've never heard anyone do it This way before so it's gonna be Super fun I'm assuming shirtless at some point probably lots of drinks maybe well here's the one part that they have given away that he's gonna pretty much have like a tailgate for a bunch of people on the red carpet that's very on brand

yeah yes somebody told me today that my shirt was also optional when going to this. So it sounds like a party. Yeah. So check out the machine. That's our boy in theaters next week. We have a date, all of us together. Knott's Berry Farm. I'm so excited.

They have a new area. It's called Viva Fiesta Village. Eric, I know you're a big Knott's Berry Farm guy. You always get an annual pass. And I'm excited to experience this with you because all the different food options. I'm Tyler and Randy. I'm sure you're going to enjoy. Bort, I know there's a bunch of stuff there for you as well.

You know, I'm a big Snoopy fan, so I love me some Knott's Berry Farm. And that boysenberry beer, ah. All the time, give it to me. That's so good. Oh, my God. I have a pass right now, actually, but I won't be using it for this one

because, you know, we're guests of Knott's that day. But yeah, dude, this new Fiesta Village spot, I think it's a kind of... Because last time I was there, I think it was around Christmas, and I think they were redoing it.

It's in the middle for anybody who's been at Knott's. And that's usually where I end up because my wife loves a good michelada. So we end up there buying it. We usually eat there, too. Mexican food's always good. I think I'm looking at right now they're gonna have margarita flights chicken taco salad some carne asada fries eat all that and then go ride accelerator yes dude i i

love knots because of the roller coasters like not here this roller coaster game is pretty strong yeah here in southern california we're spoiled but I have to admit, I do kind of prefer Knott's more. But actually, by quite a lot. Because I love Accelerator, Montezuma's Revenge, Silver Bullet, and then Ghost Rider. I love wooden coasters so much. And it's such a fun roller coaster. There's something about the clickety-clack of a wooden roller coaster that you're like, I'm a little more scared now. So, we're going to a theme park uh-huh here we go there's rides yes

and um i believe we had a discussion recently about somebody needing to go on a roller coaster to pay back menace for all his kindness over the last few years um that's true now there's very uh a variety of different levels of rides here. There's Accelerator. There's Jaguar, Ghost Rider, all the ones we mentioned. Yes. Tyler, can we entice you in any way, shape, or form to join us on these rides? I'm not here right now.

Please leave a message. Okay. Okay. Tyler, how long would the ride have to be? Say you want to go on one. Montezuma's Revenge is perfect. There you go. Like 10 seconds.

It will be done before you know it. I'll be honest. There's some roller coasters at knots. I will get dizzy and I will puke. And I'm just not doing that. Good. That's good. That's good content.

I did Silver Bullet once and I felt nauseous the rest of the day. And I nearly puked in the middle of the ride. Like I'm not like that's like the biggest one. That's like the most intense roller coaster in the park. Well, there you go. I did it. There's no do accelerator. Like nope, not doing that one. Come on. I'll tell you what we will. We will

cross that bridge when we come to it. Okay, we'll be there and he can hold our bags for us, you know. Okay, you got perfect. Perfect. He's the money on for us. You know? Okay. There you go. Perfect. Perfect. Don't spend money on a locker when you got me, baby. Let's go. All right.

okay all right thank God I can sleep now knowing that family is said by I need a full recap on the next pod randy anything to say before we leave uh actually was gonna be a question to you guys i briefly asked eric this uh i think a day or two ago but this saturday is the first day in probably weeks if not months that my girlfriend and i have like time to do just like there's nothing on the books and so i'm taught to toss up between going to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

or the Science Center. And I don't know what to choose. Does anybody have Science Center? I personally like the Natural History Museum both. But the other thing is they're both small enough to where you could knock out both in one day if you really want to. And they're right next to each other. That is true. You could probably do both for sure because science center is more hands-on there's funny things you can play around with I mean little exhibits and stuff but yeah if

you do if you're just walking through you know you're not going to spend an all-day thing and especially the history Museum or Natural History Museum it's a museum dude ain't gonna take too long yeah yeah and one of them I I bree of them, I can't remember which one, but one of them has the space shuttle in it. It might be the science center. Okay, yeah. Definitely go check that out. That's pretty cool. Nice. That was like my go-to field trip for like my

entire elementary school. We would go to science center like twice a year. Yeah, same. That's dope. Sweet. Alright, Eric, anything to say before we leave? Nothing. Not really, dude. Have fun at EDC.
