Well, I woke up this morning in San Francisco and I drove straight here to Los Angeles to be with you guys. And I had to pee so bad. Do you ever have to pee so bad that when you're ready to pee, you can't? Like it's pinched. Oh, yeah.

And then you're in so much pain that you cannot release and you're ready to pee, you can't. Like, it's pinched. Oh, yeah. And then you're in, like, so much pain that you cannot release, and you're just standing there, and you're like, dude, I want to pee. I've been waiting to pee for a couple hours, and I can't do it. See, I schedule that into every single trip I have. I know exactly which route to take because I'm like, we have four bathrooms on this route. No matter what, either me or Chesco, we could stop at any given Walmart Target in the area.

No, I was just racing to get here, so I had no plan. But guess who's back, everybody? Tyler. How excited are you? Yo, what's up? Yay. I'm excited to be back. No air horns for Tyler?

He has the air horn, doesn't he? He does. He doesn't know how to use it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There you go. There you go. Tyler fend his own air horn. Welcome back.

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, thank you. Oh, my God. Thank you. So, Tyler, you got a side gig, a side job at Lids. How is it? fend his own air horn welcome back thank you thank you there oh my god thank you so tyler you got a side gig a side job at lids how is it i actually really really like it you already got promoted too right yeah so it was it was kind of weird how that worked out hey do you want to be

an assistant manager and i was thinking okay and yeah well the pay raise was three extra bucks an hour so i was like hell yeah i'll do it like it's nice all right are you gonna save any of your money yeah i mean i plan on saving a bunch of my money because one other reason why i also wanted to take another job and it's not that i because you have a six thousand dollar loan that you still have to pay off from your previous car right that's number five on the list and there's other there's other things that i need i know i'm at the end of this year i'm probably gonna need a new laptop. Maybe some jerseys on the side.

I'll get back to that later. Oh, my God. And, you know, there's still stuff that I want to put on my apartment. I haven't necessarily bought a bookshelf yet for all my movies. All your books? Yes. I'm a connoisseur of books, you know. All right.

So, Eric, you had some fun. You went to San Diego. How was that? It was nice, man. I went to Padres game when I was down there. What? The season started going. A baseball game?

So no longer is my last live sporting event the Wildcats game with you guys. How was it, though? It was awesome, to be honest. What was the experience like? It was, I mean, it's all mobile order. So you order your food from your seats. Oh, sweet. Then you go pick it up.

There's still a line when you go pick it up. So kind of defeats purpose to me for some reason socially distanced pods so it was me and my fiance dr sunshine and we lucked out in the seat the seat behind us was a wall and seat in front of us was a glass painted glass looking down into the stadium so besides that and then there's three empty seats for the pod seating so nobody's sitting around us wow so little elbow room at a sports game i I mean, Petco Park is beautiful. First time I was ever there. The skyline is amazing. San Diego is a beautiful city.

Yeah, we posted a picture at what's new pod on our Instagram. Yeah, it's a beautiful park. It's a flex, dude. It's on the water. Like real quick, sidebar stadium talk still.

San Diego, Qualcomm Stadium, or I think it was San Diego Credit Union or whatever when it officially closed. It still has all Stadium Way signage and stuff down there. So it's like Stadium Way it's i'm like ah nothing i'd be pissed i'd be so mad i saw a video apparently the old training facility they never tore it down or

change it to something else like it's abandoned and there's still stuff everywhere it's like san diego charges this and you charge that so i'd be so mad that sucks it's uh breaking my heart yeah so i've uh actually been spending the past couple of days in San Francisco, obviously, when I started the podcast. That's what I was talking about. And it was pretty much just going through my entire childhood, just being erased. All these old stores that I went to, no longer there. What was I talking about?

Maybe last podcast, Fossil Freeze. Oh, yeah. Fossil Freeze, gone. It's a small chain on the West Coast. was i talking about maybe last podcast foster freeze oh yeah oh yeah foster freeze gone it's a small chain on the on the west coast and i actually drove by the foster freeze the one on the five yeah it is completely shut down and spray painted i took a picture of it it's gonna be i'm gonna post it on my instagram it's pretty similar to what it looks like yeah what half of them look like now yeah at menace m-e-n-a-c-e but uh i was hanging out with my buddy half baked so i'm in south san francisco which is about 35 minutes away from newark where

i grew up half of my life and i call him i'm like hey dude shower up i'm gonna cruise around the neighborhood i want you to come with me he's like all right he goes i'm gonna go to the bank and then i'm gonna grab something to eat i'm like no, I want to eat while I'm there. Just wait for me. He's like, all right. So I'm 10 minutes away from Newark. I call him just to let him know like, hey, I'm almost there. Where are you at? Oh, dude, I'm at Subway right now. I had to eat a sandwich. Dude, I said, wait for me. He's like, no, I can't wait. All right, fine. So there's this taqueria that I really want to go to. So I pick him up and I go, hey, dude, I'm going to go to Taqueria Los Gallos.

They're allowing people to sit inside to eat. I go half baked. I'm going to eat my burrito here because we can eat inside. He's like, all right, get some chips. So I grab some chips. We sit down. He has a chip. And you know when you have a chip hit you the wrong way and you start coughing? Yeah. Well, this guy grabs a chip and then starts coughing at the top of his lungs with no mask on.

And then he's like, I need water. Starts walking across the restaurant coughing as loud as he can. Again, no mask on. Family's around like, dude, what is up with this guy? I was just so embarrassed and I was tripping out. And then we sat down and we had a discussion, which I want to bring up with Brett. Now, Brett, can we call Half Baked real quick? We can.

All right, let's call him real quick. Hello. You. Yeah. You're on the air. I'll keep it PG. Are you driving? Yeah.

Why? I'll pull over. Don't worry. Everything's fine. All right. Pull over. So I was telling everybody about our conversation. I brought up wrestling.

And you said wrestling sucks now. It is garbage. And there's five reasons or more why. Because there's nobody that equals The Rock, Stone Cold, or Michael. And not only that, they don't even have anybody as good as 05, Batista, or Chris Jericho. And those two were below the three I mentioned. We still got Chris Jericho, though. We got Chris Jericho in AEW, and he's great.

Yeah, but he's 87 years old. You want to hear something crazy? I was working. This is true. I would not lie on the air. I was working at an Outback Steakhouse in Cupertino, and Chris Jericho ain't there. I'm about to make half-baked really mad. I actually worked with Chris Jericho on his radio show Rock of Jericho for two years. I thought I was hot stuff almost medium,

and you really made me look stupid. I have a question. So we have big baseball fans in here. Who won the 1994 World Series? Nobody. It was canceled. Yeah, he's correct on that. It was canceled because it was a short season.

All right. Who won then 1996? The Yankees against Atlanta. The final season of Atlanta, Bolton County Stadium, and they bulldozed it. Dude, you guys need to borrow him for your sports show. We have a rain man. His name's Tyler.

Oh, okay. Let's try this. Hat bake, don't answer. Tyler, answer immediately. Who won the 2000 World Series? Yankees did over the Mets. It was a clean sweep. 4-0. You're wrong. It was a five game. The Mets won

one game. Hold on. Hold on. Let me look this up. Let me look this up. Let me look this up. Tyler was so confident. Oh, it's a 4-1. You blew it. What a make-up. You look bad, you dick.

It was a 4-1. It was a 4-1. This is so damn funny. I blame Eric. Eric was so confident. It was a 4-1, but that's also the same World Series where Mike Piazza broke his bat. Eric was so confident. Okay, it was a 4-1, but that's also the same World Series where Mike Piazza broke his bat.

Part of the bat goes to Roger Clemens, and Roger Clemens chucks it back out. But now you're just bringing up stuff that takes away from the fact that you got it wrong. You're so confident. You're totally reading from the website right now. Here's one, Tyler. Who's the last person to be nlcs mvp on a team to be national league championship series mvp on a team that lost 10 seconds you can't look it up and i'm i'm not going to lie. I do not know that. That does not happen very often.

That's because I've done it twice. It's Jeffrey Leonard of the 87 Giants. Jesus Christ. That's old school. That's old school. You sound old school when you say that. And check this out in 2002 even though the giants lost barry bonds should have been world series no he shouldn't have because the angels won that world series get off my back

about it that's my only world series title that i could ever play barry bonds was a massive steroids user. That dude can go to hell. He's never getting into the Hall of Fame. He was jacked out of the 91 MVP. Well, you know what? He should have been better. Sucks to suck, dude. Tyler sounds so hurt right now. Barry Bonds will crush you just like I crushed you in trivia. All right, man.

We're going to catch up with you later, Hapik. I'm coming down in October. I know. You're going to kick it. All right, later. Speaking of hanging out, we're going to be at Morongo Casino May 8th. Hell yeah. And Las Vegas June 5th.

Make sure you hang out with us. More details coming up on the podcast. But May 8th, it is locked at Morongo Casino. So the time, still locking that down. I promise you by next podcast, I'll have the official times for us to hang out with each

other. Did you guys see that win that happened at Morongo the other day? It was like $149,000. Dude, I don't know what you would do. I get pumped for any kind of comma in my bank account, let alone with a comma and that many numbers after it. I've always had this irrational fear that if I win a lot of money at a casino, I'll be too drunk to go home. So just be me, like a bear in a cave in my hotel room. I really hope no one tries to steal this from me.

With your paranoia, yeah, you would be. As I was driving down here, I was listening to Joe Coy's book, Mixed Plate, and he was talking about a Keno win that pretty much just changed his whole family's life. It wasn't him, but his stepfather won $27,000 playing Keno. And back then, I think it was the early 90s, that $27,000 went a long way. Dude, there's some secret money in games like that. Like Keno, Bingo. My mom plays Bingo. People walk out with stacks of cash in Bingo. A ton of money.

You sit there for like 30 minutes. My mom's trying to go to when we're going to Vegas in June. She's like, oh, I don't know where we're staying. She's like, oh, it doesn't matter. I'm going to stay somewhere with Bingo and you can meet me at the Bingo Hall at some point. Hell yeah. Do you think there's like Bingo National Championships?

I'm sure there's like big bingo events. Yeah, there has to be. World Bingo Federation. We should get your mom to the bingo national championship. That'd be dope. You guys down to cover some news? Yes. All right.

In the news, Disneyland tickets go on sale April 15th. Hell yeah. And we'll open April 30th. Again, will we even have a chance to try to buy tickets? No. Probably not. Chances are not looking good. But are we excited it's reopening and people can ride

all the rides? Yes. I'll tell you that's right there with what I was talking about at Petco Park man a little elbow room at these places I'm not too... You gotta wear a mask? Whatever I'll wear a mask if that means nobody's on my ass in every line. No I'm saying too I know You gotta wear a mask Whatever I'll wear a mask If that means Nobody's on my ass In every line Yeah No I'm saying

Disneyland at 25% Would be dope Oh yeah It'd be dope If you can get a ticket Only SoCal people Like only California residents Right

That makes it a lot easier Than everybody All over the country In the world To see these damn tourist spots Because they live here I know It's awesome

In other news You guys gotta cover this Because I think We've brought it Maybe up once Yeah on the Woody show. And this is happening right here in our backyard, really close to the radio station. This Tin Horn Flats thing. So there's a bar that's been refusing to go by the pandemic rules since probably since

the pandemic started just to stay open, like people inside the bar maskless right and they're just like yeah living up like nothing has happened and the city has gone after them police have gone after them and they've shut down the power multiple times they have arrested the owner now just before i got here they arrested the owner for the third time so this is allegedly from what we've seen on social media and everything, the owner is the parent of that guy who's been arrested. Yeah, the guy arrested is listed as co-owner. Right, so his parents are in Thailand.

He's been running the ship the entire time since everything's happened, or probably even before that. Because let me tell you this, I've been there. And at some point, their quality dropped. That's my personal opinion. When you have a jack and coke that goes from the size of a normal jack and coke to that of a shot glass something's wrong with the goddamn place okay yeah um this place has not stopped serving people even when they said hey

we gotta close everything down for people's safety and your workers safety they said no we're fine against tyranny we're fine against this this is a real america right here the national news and it's funny because people bring by generators and stuff to try to keep it open. The problem is, once they started taking their stand, they started attracting some of the really weird people in the country.

People would venture in there to protest. And here's my thing, too. It's not worth it. I don't own that place. It's not worth it. Plus,'t own that place. What do I care? It's not worth it. It's like, it's plus the bar has such a weird location. It's like right next to a Walgreens and a Taco Bell.

And there's like, and it's in front of like a residential area. So you can only bet that the people who live behind that dump are super stoked. There's like 300 people gathering every single night. Really aggressive people. I should mind. Is he turning? Is this place turn?

I'd get the, the political stance. But are they turning profit? Are they making money out of this? I don't even know. I don't know. Let me tell you this. Hopefully they are. The headache itself would not be worth the money to me, man. They're probably getting fined constantly. From the size of that

Jack and Coke that I got, that was the price of two Jack and Cokes, yeah, they're turning some kind of profit. But, you know, the ridiculous thing is that on their social media, they were advocating how they felt pre-election and post-election, how they felt about everything with the lockdown. So it's all political. Right, it's all political.

And they're saying they're doing this for their business. Well, guess what? A lot of businesses have suffered, and a lot of them have to play by the rules. And they're trying to catch up any best way they can, but they looked out for their own workers and their customers at the as best as they could these guys don't give an f they don't give an f about their community they don't give an f about any other business they're just like we just want to make money do they just drop it now though since everything's opening because he just got arrested again see that's the thing too though

because they're they're trying to work on some lawsuits but then the city of burbank's also like hey we're gonna work with them to see if we can figure out what's going on here. Because at the end of the day, no matter what happens, these guys have basically said, we're not going to listen to you. And it makes me wonder how rich their dad is, because this has been going on for a minute. And like Mena said, I doubt they're making that much profit. You've got generator smoke floating through inside the restaurant they're serving, like burgers. But also, people that are going now don don't care or back then didn't care. They're going to make the statement,

not for the quality of food. Here's my thing now. Like if you're going to be the dicks who stay open and who are, who refuse to obey the rules, at least serve like good food. Like you gotta be, you gotta be a good place. If you're going to be top notch,

you know, to go through all that stuff. If you're going to be the a-hole restaurant in the city, you might as well at least serve some pretty decent stuff. That place is a... Like Chick-fil-A? Stay open. Stay open.

Come on, man. That's fine. Look, you'll bat down with the government, but Taylor Flats? Come on. I know. I don't know what's going on there. Also, I mean, like Eric said, everything's opening up.

They said officially June 15th, right? In California? Yeah. All open? All good? You know Newsom's getting a lot of crap. He's like, alright guys, we're gonna open up. And then like New York, they opened everything and then suddenly they're like,

hey guys, weed is legal now. So please don't get mad at me. Everything's open. Here's weed. That's all politics. Taking that job. I know, I know. Tell you what, Newsom, you want to make the people happy? Open up the state and legalize sports gambling at the same time. Dude, oh my god, if he did that, people would be so

happy. They would be like, yeah, let's keep them in longer. Dude, Tyler might move back. I know. You'd run your own lids. Dude, you'd run your own lids. I'll run my own lids and my own gambling side. Put all a couple hundred of your life savings into a Falcon Super Bowl bid.

Get one half off. Back wall embroidery for free. Tyler, I'll bet you right now the falcons lose horribly this year oh why would you do that in other news they said that mask litter is going into the ocean of course like yep how does everything end up in the ocean great gory and i always talk about this when it comes to straws or gums and plastic bags, how does it all end up in the ocean? How is a mask crisis affecting the ocean? Only LA had developed some kind of filter system. You know what's going to happen?

You know what's going to happen? So that's like the blue piece, green piece, whatever the hell. There are pictures of the ocean as always, like some turtle with a mask grown over its face. I know. It's going to be an orca with a face shield on, just like floating. Speaking about orcas, I thinking of tyler when the story

it was weird i thought of tyler while i was reading this mask in the ocean story i don't know why these are the kind of thoughts that come to my head i'm like when do you think is the last time tyler swam in the ocean oh man well he is he frequented the ocean for his night visits i know but see tyler tyler's one of those sus guys because he would show up and he would be like in the water in jeans it's like what are you doing man yeah no i know he would walk along the beach in the middle of night which is weird but actually physically being in the ocean swimming when is the last time that happened tyler um i say physically in the ocean no physically in the ocean about a year ago a little less than a year yeah it was

like last june doing what you're a liar water up to your chest i swear wow what beach on my it was huntington dude oh my god nice During the pandemic, Huntington just didn't care. So their beach was open all the time. So I was like, okay, I'm going to go. And I always go to the area that's Huntington slash Bolsa Chica. Okay, now I get where you're at. I'll take back the Huntington Beach. You're on the border.

Yeah, Bolsa Chica. Come on. So, yeah, you enjoy the ocean. The only thing that sucks is out here. The ocean is a much farther distance than what I used to have. It's about an hour in traffic, about an hour and a half. And they say that's not that bad. LA.

Yeah, that is a little thing. The thing on top of that is they say, to be perfectly honest, Galveston is not that great of a beach. It's not a California beach. So I don't think I've ever in my 24 years of existence heard anyone utter the words beach and Texas in the same sentence. You don't go into that part of the Gulf of Mexico

for a nice beach. Well, there is the Hangout Festival that is massive. Isn't that? Oh, no, that's Florida Bama. Never mind. He's got the armpit. 65% of the time, people who go to the beach in Texas are to clean up the oil spills that occur in the Gulf. True.

They basically said that the water has a... It's okay to swim in, but it has a brownish color to it. Oh, no. Not exactly. Totally Doc Wilder. Think about all the debris and then legitimately all the oil rigs off the coast. Who knows all the crap and gunk that ends up in the water.

Tyler, swim in it. Maybe you'll mutate. Yeah, I was about to say. Tyler's going to get a third eye. There's plenty of lakes that are around Texas. I'd rather just find one of those. I know we talk about California beaches, but dude, the water's cold as shit

no matter where you're at. Yeah. No matter what part of California. You got to go to Mexico to actually enjoy the water. Exactly. They did say the only plus about a Texas beach is that because it is the Gulf of Mexico, the water is a lot warmer than California.

I don't even trust getting into the groundwater. Half the time you're in Mexico, you're in a pool. You're not actually in the beach water. It's funny. You go to these beach resorts and you sit in the pool that's on the sand. Why? Out over there? No, you're crazy.

The only lifeguard is a buzz dude on a jet ski and a sea dude who's on the sand. I know. It's like, what? Why? Me in the, out over there? No, you're crazy, man. I'm not touching the sand. The only lifeguard is a buzz dude on a jet ski and a sea dude who's supposed to save me. I'm good, man.

The only lifeguard I got is Juan, who's going to bring me another Mai Tai. Juan, who's taking shots with these college girls from Tulane University.

I'm all right, man. All right, if anybody's listening right now, I'm telling you the only beach to go to is Hard Rock Riviera Maya

in Mexico because they made a seawall where you don't get seaweed all over your beach and you don't have sharks nipping at your ass sharks i'm telling you hard rock riviera maya the adult only side it will change your life i feel like that was such a game changer like when i was younger you know and you go on vacation or if you do go on vacation your parents are forced to go to those like kid included hotels. It's not until you grow up and you go to, you revisit a hotel that allows kids where you're like, damn, you'll be sick. No kids. An adult only hotel. Yeah. The hard rock is actually split to adult side and then

family side. Right. And then the family side has a couple extra restaurants. And then you go over there like, damn, what's up with all these kids? so then you go back so you go back to the other side and enjoy life um you guys want to get into some tech news apple is officially letting other devices be trackable by your phone so let's say you're missing your keys you can have a little piece of plastic on your keys and then you can find it with your iphone or you can have your bike stolen and it can be trackable by your iphone right can i make a confession off a purchase i made recently that was uh so it was me bored eric we're talking to danica and danica brought up an old friend of ours used to work here uh hey it's harm shot to hey it's harms and how he was obsessed with like amazon alexa integration and i brought up how there was the like an alexa for your car

and she mentioned how he had one for his car. And I was like, I wonder how that works. So I started diving deeper and deeper into it. And I guess there was a sale at Best Buy and it was like 75% off. So I bought it for like 19 bucks and I have it in my car and it's kind of cool. This is like the first time I've ever hearing this. I actually kind of want to invest in this. Didn't we talk about this on the last podcast? The very last podcast. A conversation between all of us and Tyler

listened to that. Should he know this too? Well, three of us don't remember. Alright, let's play that clip for the people that don't remember. Now you can control your Lamborghini with an Alexa. So just in case you have a Lamborghini, you can now control the air conditioning

and the music with an Alexa. There's a lot of cars that have Alexa, but just in case you have a Lamborghini and you're listening right now, you can do it with Alexa. And be our friend. Come hang out. I always see ads for that.

That's sort of like Alexa attachment that you put into your car on Amazon, but I've never seen a single one in an actual car. Our old coworker, Harms, he was super into the Alexa in the car. He loves it. Really? But I have Apple CarPlay. I think it's the ish.

All right. There you go, guys. Just in case you missed it on the last podcast, apparently Randy did. And there's even the Harms reference. Yeah. We basically had the same conversation. Oh, well, I forgot. Well, I got it anyway, so.

He's got a review now. Ricky does that a lot now where he shares something he's learned, but it comes from a different source. I don't even know. Yeah, he shares stuff

that he learned from us and then tells us about it. Yeah, he does do that. I do a lot of stuff with a lot of people, so I forget faces. All right. Oh, Mr. Popular

doing a lot of things with a lot of people. Another tech news. Twitter is reportedly discussing buying social media app Clubhouse for $4 billion. It hasn't even been around for a year yet. And people are freaking out over Clubhouse. Now, if you don't know what Clubhouse is, it's basically a live audio chat room. You can have speakers and then people that are sitting listening can chime in

in different things and suddenly they think this is the biggest greatest thing ever so instagram started making their own version facebook started making their own version twitter even made their own version even spotify is thinking about making their own version and what's hilarious is everybody keeps on making different versions of what we have been doing for like a hundred years it's called radio everybody you know but it's just in a different form and it's funny because our um ceo bob pitman who was one of the founders of mtv he always says this he says if radio was invented today people would be thinking it was the craziest, coolest thing ever. But now all these different tech companies are just like reinventing the way, are just like labeling it something different.

And then everybody's freaking out about it. But we've been doing the same thing the entire time. What's really funny, too, is people don't realize the quality of work that goes behind producing a good radio show versus Joe Schmoe Influencer in their bedroom with their phone talking into Clubhouse where there's a weird echo and you can hardly hear them. There's spotty connection. And then all these other apps where it's like, do you guys get like, sometimes they get notifications for apps that are basically like what you're talking about. They're like radio show apps. Yeah. And every time I listen to them, the quality sounds like effing garbage. I'm like, how do you listen to them?

Dude, I listen to radio DJs who have podcasts that have been doing this pandemic stuff from their house. Yeah. And it sounds like trash. Oh, yeah. How? How? Do you not listen back to any of your audio?

No, they don't. And the worst part is a lot of those people have their technical people around yeah and it still sounds like garbage yeah it's it's kind of crazy how long the learning curve that is just still so unapparent to some i don't get it dude i was listening to some other dj the other night and how do you not care about your craft right you know it sounds it sounds like you're doing it on your phone and how's nobody corrected you what's yeah hey dude fix this or hey this is how you fix that not like crap is just crazy okay maybe content wise there's a learning curve on that right so like how to actually have an interesting podcast i'm we're still learning here on this one but the actual audio itself when you listen back to it and

it doesn't sound good immediately try to fix that then dude you're trash i don't think people re-listen to their stuff man they don't they don't and also they think the content pushes it as long as it's them and what they have to say that's gonna push the podcast they're like ah everybody will tune in anyways no they won't just like any crappy radio show just like any crappy audio how many times have we had audio on this show where it's me and Woody passing it back and forth on the Woody show? And we're like, the audio is trash. We can't use it.

Not good enough. Not good enough. Sorry. It's not going to work. And we're not putting that out. Eric and I were watching some sports TV. This dude's in his room, his camera sideways. The light that he's using is blaring in his face.

Looks like the sun's hitting him. He's got one AirPod in and he'd say something and he'd be like, yeah, so I think the next draft goes. His camera angle is like, so his crooked camera, so everything looks like he's on a boat. And you can see from below his belly button up. See, like, look,

Tyler, he hasn't spoken at all. Sounds great. But even if he did chime in, even if he did chime in, it sounds good. I mean, it could even sound even better. Especially if he did chime in it sounds good i mean it could even sound even better especially if he puts his face up with a microphone it'll sound great but the problem is the problem is i'm not in texas to make it sound better so we have to rely on tyler but it sounds way better than those stupid zoom calls yeah man right it's easy to figure out how to do this dude and even when we were all in what so? So how many people were on the podcast?

Two, four, five people, five different bedrooms when this all first started? Yeah. We were all kicked back in our rooms, five separate places. And it sounded way better. 110% than somebody who's just literally recording their voice in their studio bedroom. It's called post-production. I'm sorry you're ranting on this. And I know we're going to mess up a couple of people because they're going to listen to some other podcasts and then they're going to hear some bad audio and be like, dude, we ruined them for us.

Yeah. We're radio ranting right now. We're just bitching about radio stuff. That's all they're going to hear. Best Buy has a new beta program where you'll have VIP tech support for $200 a year. Benefits include free shipping on anything you order, unlimited geek squad technical support exclusive member pricing and a 60-day extended return window are you all in all out for 200 bucks i'm all out i'm i'm guilty of like i never do the i never pay the extra 20 30 bucks for that like warranty security stuff i'm always like yeah i'll be all right i never do it i've never never taken something in to get fixed yep Just buy a new one.

I know. Where's all this wood? I hope all my electronics don't break today. Something's going to happen. It's not going to get fixed right. You're going to have to take it back. To be honest, I see this as Best Buy's one option to make more money because I was in one recently. When was the last time you were in a Best Buy? It's been a minute.

It's looking pretty bad. It's looking pretty scarce in there. They don't even have a video game department now. Now it's all behind the yeah oh it's looking pretty bad it's looking pretty scarce in there they don't even have a video game department now now it's all behind the counter oh yeah nothing there wow that sucks because i still need to get a fridge and a washer dryer so they got they got plenty of those they got those they don't got nothing else it's like circuit city all right in other news uber and lyft they're looking for, guys. A lot of people went and found other jobs during the pandemic. They're going to put $250 million into a stimulus

fund to try to get more people to sign up to drive again. That's just something I cannot do. I can't imagine how people do it. I'm just thinking like... I don't want someone else in my car. I know when Uber first launched, I had some friends doing it and they were making great money, but then I just heard Uber first launched, I had some friends doing it and they were making great

money. But then I just heard over the years, you barely make any money. Yeah. And the prices have gone up. They're making less. You're paying more. Now, Tyler, before your Lids gig, you said you were doing some food delivery. What was your final profit at the end of the day? I would try to make it to where I was about somewhere between 35, 40 a day. So it wasn't too bad, but I did Uber for a year and I will never do it again. That thing sucked. Really hated it. I absolutely hate it.

You do not get paid nearly enough for all the wear and tear you put on your car and for the amount of money that you have to pay on gas. They don't pay you nearly enough. What car were you driving when you were doing Uber? I was driving the truck. Are you sure? I was making some money with it, but I think, like I said...

I don't know if I ever got in a truck in an Uber. Never. Never. It very rarely happens. And I've been using Uber since the very, very, very beginning. Never been in a truck. The other thing about it, is that i mean gas is obviously more expensive in california but like uber just didn't pay enough and i think you're

driving a truck okay okay okay but here's this other thing here's this other thing too is i don't know for whatever reason maybe this is just a california thing not a lot of people tipped a lot and i know you don't necessarily have to well i think a lot of there was a lot of confusion that tip was included in the final price and i thought a lot of you not included well a lot of users had no idea and then until it became public when drivers started saying like hey i don't get tipped and they didn't even have an option really for you to do a tip see i don't know about that because when i was doing it i know you had the option to give the tip at the end of the ride just nobody ever did it which again i'm not saying you have to they got picked up in the truck i was just i was waiting for him to get his thought out

but i'm like yeah dude you picked them up in a dinky ass truck let's see bench seat sit next to you the whole ride the usual the the usual probably drives, like, what, 50, 60 miles per shift? Okay, hold on, hold on. It was not a janky old truck. It did not have a bench seat, so you had to sit up with me in the front. That's all that's really... It had, like, a legitimate... No, but Tyler, Tyler, the usual driver during their shift would drive, what, like, 50, 60

miles? And then you put that into your truck. You're spending, like, what, 30, 40 bucks in gas? That's literally... You're making, like, barely any profit. And didn't your lease, like, only have a certain amount of mileage that you were able to drive the truck oh my god uh yeah that's why i dumped it before i hit that don't don't don't talk to any guy hand in your life tyler was there anybody like saying hey man

maybe you shouldn't be doing there was i just ignored it but tyler doesn't listen jesus dude he's his own man, dog. You know, bro. You know. The guy who sold him the car probably went home, and he was like, yo. His wife, Sarah, you won't believe the sale I made today with some dope who took this big-ass truck. The truck. No, the truck.

The truck. Remember the truck we can't offload? Yeah, his credit score was like, I don't know, it was like 325 or something. I was like, here, man, just take it. And listen to how much he's paying a month. What was it? The final? It was about 5, man? Just take it. And listen how much he's paying a month. What was it? The final? It was about $580.

Oh, my God. Dude, that's like the rent for... Oh, my God. Wow, Tyler, bro. Every time I hear it... Not my smartest decision. I know, but I crossed that bridge. Hey, got you on the Woody show.

Yeah, hell yeah, I did. After all these years, we're still finding out new details about this truck. I know. Isn't that funny? All right. Well, before we wrap this up, we have to give out new details about this truck. I know. Isn't that funny? All right. Well, before we wrap this up, we have to give a big shout out to our boy Leon. Leon. Leon.

Before I got here, he dropped off some food for you guys. He did. He dropped us off some breakfast burritos and these little miniature hotcakes with eggs and bacon. I love Farmer Boys. I wish there were more Farmer Boys nearby. Oh, yeah. Can I add thank you to Leon

and also, I have a problem with Randy because he almost screwed me out of this breakfast today. No, I did not. I did not. So I gave everyone a heads up. Hey, obviously the Wee Show's on vacation. Menace is going to be in a little bit later this morning. I'm going to be in a little bit later and told Leon, hey, Eric

and Randy are here. Hit them up. They'll have it because he still wanted to drop off something for us, right? So I told both of them, hey, Leon's coming. Hey, hey, Eric and Randy are here. Hit them up. They'll have it. Because he still wanted to drop off something for us, right? So I told both of them, hey, Leon's coming. Hey, Randy, you're in charge. Texted Randy, hey, food's coming. I'm going to be hungry, so make sure it's there. And he's like, oh.

Well, that's kind of a dickish way to ask. I said it in a nicer way. But you also know how Randy is. So I said, hey, Leon's coming. Food's going to be there. And he's like, oh, wait, are you coming in in the morning? Do you want breakfast too? Oh, I should probably call him and text him and tell him,

oh, you better bring more than just for me and Eric then. I don't even want breakfast then. How's he going to back out of this one? Well, what do you? So you're saying is I can never put you in charge of anything. I can't have you in faith and trust you to make sure breakfast is delivered Why does everything have to be Alright, we're going to do something

Okay, now you handle it How many burritos are still in that box? Was that after you contacted him again and told him? It's after you tried to change the subject How many burritos are still in the box though? There's three still left in there I told Eric, word is word for word. I said, this is what's going to happen.

Where's Tyler's burrito? He's in Texas. It doesn't matter. This is my exact text. Don't you dare screw me out of food, Randy. Randy's changed the subject. Hey, when Pikachu thinks, do you think he thinks in picas instead of, you know, words? That's a legitimate question.

That's a legitimate question. Why do you always do this? Because, why am I the one that's always in charge of this stuff? Because you're an adult. You're an adult, too? What do you mean? I'm not here! Randy, okay, look, I... Tyler, sit this one out. You have no base on

anything here. I gotta side with Brett on this, from what I'm hearing. Yeah, of course you do. So what you're saying is... Tyler, get off your knees. You're bruising yourself. What you're saying is I could just never entrust you with something. So now Eric has to be the one in charge. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Eric, you're the one in charge now. Eric seems really excited about that. Eric, you're the one in charge. You thought it was bad when Randy's in charge. Speaking of Pikachu, I have all these Pokemon cards now from the 90s. Nice. How do I get rid of them?

I need to sell them right now. There's these things called NFTs. No, I'm just kidding. I mean, I'll take them. How do we sell them? How do we sell them? Like, for real. I'm pretty sure it's going to be just a matter of time

before card shops start opening up, and you can just take these things in. They'll appraise them for you. There are already card shops open, but there's other places we can go, but here's what we have to do. We have to get them actually graded by the official people. No, but the thing is,

I went and hung out with my friend that owns a shop in san francisco right you can see it on my instagram classic materials all right so if you're around town make sure you go check that out but i was talking with him he said the whole grain thing is so backlogged yeah for a year i've actually been getting ads from the company they're in los angeles asking for people to come get jobs there to be graders yeah to be graders because they need that many people to come in and yeah because i have all these cards and i'm like well you'll get way more money if you get them graded right versus if you just sell them you know looks like a card to me right yeah i'd be i'd be the worst i'm like all right well this yellow you're all right looks cool a little shiny okay right yeah but i

gotta offload these things i mean we can try to find some shops i mean we the shops are gonna give us even lower should i just throw them up online and when you throw them up online where do you put them you're gonna have to ebay them but also when you ebay now you're gonna have to give them your social security number because they're gonna tax you yeah i mean that's fine but the thing is blankets byanketsbytracy.com slash Menace's Pokemon card. Yes, let's do it online. I'm sure you could probably get some

good market going on Etsy or something. Just buy them? You could sell them on Etsy. But then I would have to set the price, right? Instead of people bidding on them. Well, I mean, I've always kind of been like, you just sort of get a general idea as to what's going and how it's trending and then just whatever price seems good for you good enough you just mark it down and people will buy it yep see menace wants people fighting over this

stuff uh i don't know as long as they just buy them i'm cool with it go to target and when they come out of the store from their little camp out overnight uh-huh stand there with like a trench coat yo yo screw your unboxing i got what yeah you some 90s? Let's go to the resellers. Okay, so we're taping this on a Thursday, right? Uh-huh. The resellers are going to be sitting overnight at Target tonight. Let's just go to the parking lot. Like, yo.

Parking lot sale. You want to buy some Pokemon? You want energies? Yeah. Take this, peons. I got the hollows in the trunk. You want some shadowless? You want some reverse hollows?

Yeah, what you need. I got it. Pop the trunk. All right. Well, I'm going to definitely need some help on that. I'm probably going to shout out the website by the next podcast on where to buy them if you want them. But Brett, yes, please help me with that.

Yep. Speaking of Brett, we have to shout out a couple of podcasts. Shout out to the Bortcast with Bort. Oh, yeah. That's what I get for not being behind the notes. Anything new with the Bortcast? We got to get half-baked on the Bortcast, dude. Talk some wrestling. I know. We barely touched on it here because I really like hearing half-baked's opinion. know anything new with the broadcast we got to get half picked on the broadcast dude talk some

wrestling i know i we barely touched on it here because i really like hearing halfbaked's opinion and especially because he was very anti-wwe and i can't argue with that he's very strong he has his opinions he's very strong right we didn't even get to talk to him about hulk hogan and nick hogan man oh dude don't set him off he's obsessed with nick hogan and how much he hates him a new episode of the broadcast came out this past week. You can go to theboardcast.com and subscribe to it there. We're also on Spotify, a bunch of other places that may not be linked on the website.

See, it's more fun to watch them outside of the basketball play. They'll win the games. They're the most entertaining. I don't know. Baseball players are kind of boring. Oh, definitely. Hockey players, too. Robotic. Especially this month. Like this month is the beginning of April.

It's super exciting because it's like, oh, yay, baseball. And then later on, it's like, well, these are kind of like the meaningless baseball games. Oh, there's only 150 more. Yeah. I think like off the court or off the field, the most entertaining, I would say basketball. Oh, yeah. And then football.

Yep. And then after that. I don't know. I think we have this talk on this podcast or Tailgater. Like, we definitely said. We did the power rankings. Yeah, the NBA is definitely the most dramatic, but it's not like, it's like drama drama. Like NFL, you could like get in some like, some bad drama. I know.

Some like DV and stuff. Yeah, people murdered. But basketball is like TMZ drama. Yeah. The problem with baseball is the drama doesn't even come from the players. It comes from their dickhead commissioner who's always just doing

really stupid-ish or the coaches like the Cincinnati Reds were playing the Cardinals and this one guy ran to home base and he made a pretty sick play

like he made it he was safe and he got up and he flexed like his muscles over him like let's go and the dude got banned for like five games

I think because of what he did five games it was like an overall encompassing thing he got pegged the night before not like in a fun way Let's go. Yeah. And the dude got banned for like five games, I think, because of what he did. Oh, he's a national. Five games? But it was like an overall encompassing thing. He got pegged the night before. Not like in a fun way. It's not in a fun way.

For trying to screw me up, Brett. Okay. All right. Nice. I should really blame myself for putting you in charge of anything. It's very nice. All right. Tyler.

Not much. I just got to get ready for work on my next job as soon as I'm done here. And I'm going to say this on behalf of everyone. Allergy season sucks. I know. You guys sound like you were doing cocaine. I wish it was something fun. My nose is hurting and not from that.

We're talking about how Tyler's version of cocaine was like pixie sticks. Yes. Crunched up Smarties. Yeah. Did his mom let him have pixie sticks? Probably not. She probably thought they were too dangerous.

After the end of this podcast, I'm going to play the outro and then after the outro, listen to a conversation we had about Scarface. You're going to enjoy it. Randy, do you have anything to say before we leave? We do a podcast every single week, a few.

Every once in a while, we get to hear Tyler's voice grace us on this. Hey, Tyler, single week, a few. So every once in a while, we get to hear Tyler's voice grace us on this. And hey, Tyler, you know, you've got a few chances. So, you know, speaking to us. So get off your knees because you're blowing it. All right. Thanks. You're good.

All right. You want to die today? Like, what the hell is wrong with you? This will be my sign off here. This is what I deal with. I'm going to group message with these guys. And it's always Tyler waving his way in and out

of weird conversations and Randy's setting himself up for some big punchline and I just... You guys wonder why I go rogue when I'm not in the studio with you guys?

It's a lot of times because it's just... I just assume it's jackassery between us two. Like, why do you think I give an ish? Riveting stuff, guys.

And then Tyler's response is always something along the lines of, oh, you want to effing die today. I'm a beat your ass. He's like, what? We're like, why do you think I give an ish? No riveting stuff, guys. And then Tyler's response is always something along the lines of, oh, you want to effing dud it in. You want to dud it in. I'm a BTR. Or you want to dud it in. It's always murder. You live in Texas.

Yeah. It's always murder. Tyler has this over fascination with murder. I think we discussed this recently when we did our power rankings. No, sorry. Our draft for excuses

to watch March Madness. Like three of Tyler's answers had to do with lying about someone in your family being murdered. And I'm like, what are you talking about, bro? What the hell, man? That's what we're saying. And he's obsessed with all the murder shows.

And all the places he's visited have to do with something about murder. He's moved out to the middle of the desert. Well, Tyler, you have a chance to murder Randy. May 8th. Hang out with us. That's a good time. At Morongo.

Morongo Casino, Come hang out with us. It's going to be a good time. Have a chance to win some money at the casino and we'll be doing our podcast live there. Also, if you want to hang out in Las Vegas June 5th, more details to come for that. I know people that are booking flights

and hotels and all that kind of stuff waiting for us to drop the info on where we're gonna be and when we're gonna be recording and where they can see drunk eric which is always fun that's and uh drunk tyler which is always scary and then maybe a occasional drunk menace i mean who knows what will happen and then uh we'll we'll have drunk r, who will probably just be sick. He'll be sleeping sick. And then Bort, you know, you'll see no difference in Bort. No.

Yeah. I'll be a little more talkative and then I'll disappear. He'll be looking for ghosts. That's true. All right, guys. Damn straight. We'll see you next week. What's new?

What's new with Metis? I have a question. You haven't watched Scarface because your mom didn't like Scarface, Tyler? Well, my mom bashed it so much it killed any interest of seeing it. And I've seen the ending scene on YouTube. And I killed any interest of seeing it and i've seen the ending scene on youtube and i'm like okay well i've seen the ending i don't really care to see the rest of the movie now i don't let my mom's movie taste to find you know what i'm gonna watch man no i i usually no okay i don't usually i don't but this one she just bashed it so much and why is she she just had what do you this personal vendetta out against...

It's the war against cocaine, bro. What are you talking about? Tyler, have you made any inquiries regarding finding marijuana in the state of Texas? Not really. I know there is a CBD shop about

a half mile from me, but I don't know what their rules are exactly. I haven't bothered looking into it. Can you imagine Tyler gets booked on drug charges? Marijuana? In Texas? That'd be hilarious. Funny.

He's in a chain gang. I would die laughing. A chain gang? Bro, you need to relax. Tyler met his new boyfriend in jail because he had a little nugget of weed. They would have Tyler in the hot Texas sun with a pickaxe, just chopping away at rocks with those striped jumpsuits.

He's grazing like a farm animal looking for the hopeful gold that's in all those rocks and stuff. They just have me in the outside assembly line of the Texas heat printing license plates. Come on, dude. That's for Georgia. They're classier than Texas. I envision it just have me in the outside assembly line of the Texas heat printing license plates. I, I, I envision that's for Georgia. I envision Texas. I envision Tyler being like bunk mates with this really big,

just massive guy, but he's like, he like killed like five people, but he also has like a baby bird hidden in his bunk face. And he's actually like a sweetheart. Yeah. He's actually a good, a good person and stuff.

What's his name? Uh, Brooks from, uh, Brooks from, uh, I'll go. What is it? Shawshank Redemption Brooks Brooks was the old white

guy. Yeah, wait a second. Yeah, and he had a baby bird in that movie. That's probably where I got the baby bird thing from them. Nicely done, Randy.
