That'll be Saturday, August 26th from noon to 2 p.m. I'm going to be at Metro by T-Mobile in Santa Ana on 1130 South Bristol Street. Go to the right one because there's two of them on that street. 1130 South Bristol Street from noon to 2 p.m. I'm going to have theme park ticket giveaways.

Again, go to ComedyFestLA.com. So, Brett, yes, I was in Las Vegas, Nevada last weekend. Lucky. In the eye of the storm. Mega lucky. weekend it was lucky in the eye of the storm because mega lucky yeah because on friday is

when the storm kind of started kicking up at least in in los angeles area i mean it was killing mexico right but i get to the airport i had a later flight because we did that event at mcdonald's and downey thank you to everybody that came out to mcdonald's and downey that was super fun it was packed if you were there you knew how packed it was yeah but yeah it was so much fun thank you for coming out and it was great to see everybody but then i i went to the airport my flight was around five something you dropped me off at the airport this was such a wonderful day because i got to spend so much time not only with randy and eric who came out to mcdonald's and all the wonderful listeners

but i got to spend so much time with menace hanging out at mcdonald's and then taking you to the airport and then all of a sudden i don't hear from you there's no updates nothing and then i see a post online and i look outside i go that's not the color the sky should be right now what happened so i ended up being at the airport until 1130. What? Before we really took off. No. Yeah.

But it's okay because you know what? I had a bunch of video to edit that day anyway. So I just sat there and worked on my computer. The only thing I missed was a dinner that I was supposed to have with Woody and a bunch of our friends, which that kind of sucks because I would have loved to be there. But I was able to catch up on a bunch of work, so I wasn't really tripping. Hey, look, you missed a dinner. I missed a dinner this week.

It's fine. It's okay. There will be more dinners in the future. I was surprised it was that late, though. Yeah, man. Again, I was looking at the sky because after I dropped you off, I had to go meet up with some friends in Canoga Park. And by the time I'm leaving from there, it's getting a little dark.

And I was looking at your post, and I'm like, maybe Menace took off late, like 8 9 but 11 yeah so damn I was in Vegas after midnight everybody's already you know wasted whatever so I just go to bed which is awesome because I'm tired for the day because earlier that day before we did Downy thing I went over to KCON the K-pop convention oh yeah in LA to go shoot some stuff for Black Magic Design Cameras. And that was super fun, too. The fandom, you would have loved it. Oh, I'm sure.

And I wish I could have joined you on that part of your adventure going to KCON and seeing everything there. Because even a couple people that we work with had been there, like Wacko, and was telling me, dude, you would have really enjoyed this. Can I tell you a little secret? Yes. From that day. So there is a chain of bookstores in Los Angeles that I'm a huge fan of. They're called Book Off. They come from Japan.

They have Japanese and American items for books, DVDs, video games, toys of all kinds. If you want a Japanese Game Boy game, we can go get you one there. They have everything. And if I'm near one, and I know I'm going to be near one, I got to go. I got to go flip through figures. I got to go do everything.

So while you were at KCON, I'm like, you know, I'm going to leave a little early. I'm going to make it to Book Off, and then I'll meet you at the McDonald's. Well, I kind of screwed up the distance between the Book Off and the McDonald's. Oh, no.

Because this is important to your meetup that you have tomorrow get the right one guys because i put down the wrong mcdonald's i was 20 plus minutes away and i'm like damn i gotta get back man but that was the closest i got to uh a little bit of fandom was getting to book off and flipping through anime figures that's cool yeah yeah so yeah i get to vegas and then the next day saturday, we wake up. I finish up a little bit of work again on the computer and then we head to the pool. Yeah. And our friends, they do it up, man. They get a cabana. They hook up everybody, just nonstop food. I don't know if

you saw my Instagram post, but it's like piles of nachos and chicken strips. I did see the nachos. Alcohol. The nachos was the size of Tyleros and chicken strips. I did see the nachos. Alcohol. The nachos was the size of Tyler's head times three. For real. And then by five o'clock, you know, it's wrapped up, the pool party. I guess everybody went out later, but I went back to the room and I went back to bed and I had the best night's sleep ever. Dude. But apparently when I was wasted at the pool, everyone informed me that every single flight out of vegas was canceled all commercial flights canceled to leave the next day okay i

wasn't really tripping apparently i said hey i'll just stay here smart um i was with woody and what he's like nah we got to get back we got to get back. We got to get back to work. He's like, I'll get us a plane. Right. I'm like, OK. I don't even remember him saying that until the next day. And then he's like, meet up in the lobby at 10 a.m. So we because there's a little bit of windows so I can fly out and land before it gets crazy in L.A. I said, OK.

And then we get in the car. We roll up to this little airport. Us and all of our friends hop on this little plane. And then we get to LA and the second we land, it just starts pouring like crazy. Yeah. Just like full on storm. Insane. Luckily, I never lost power at my house. I't know about you no um but it was funny because i thought oh because it's like a hurricane type thing my house starts shaking i'm like oh the wind is crazy and i go oh wait a minute that's not wind that's an earthquake so you get hurt with the earthquake wasn't somebody else in vegas yeah tyler how was your trip so it went really well we had a lot of fun um we got there early friday we like i mean we i left my house at four in the morning so we got there

early friday picked up my friends from the airport went checked in uh went to the wind buffet buffet for brunch it was amazing as per usual ah then we go to we go to an arcade bar later that night that was pretty dope what was that at it was it's called player one it is somewhere a little off the strip I don't remember where exactly because I was heavily intoxicated. But, oh. Nice. I've been there, it's dope. I'm not even joking. I'm not even joking. So anyways, so at the end of that, we're like, hey, do we wanna go to a strip club? And strip clubs aren't normally my thing,

but I also know that like, hey, this is a bachelor party, this isn't my choice, I'm just gonna go with whatever they wanna do. Yeah, whatever they want. And you know, the bachelor's like, yeah, you know what, I wanna go. And we're like okay cool let's go so we go and we're sitting there you know we're just talking we're just vibing having a good time and everything wait what club do you go to i don't even remember i really don't you effed up because you should ask me where to go to because

there's a lot of clubs there that will just run you through the ringer trying to take every dollar you have and it's just the worst if you didn't go to spearmint rhino you effed up but go ahead yes we you know what i you're not the first person to say that i've heard that before uh we did not go to spearmint i don't remember which one we went to but i do remember this so real quick before we get to the strip club so i think we were originally going to go to the library which is a strip club that's out there right yeah so one of my buddies they say it was my fault all i hit was except uber i didn't type in the address so while we're in the uber one of them mentions like oh dude like the library is going to be dope and they're like the uber drive is like

wait what kind of library are you going to because they're like the uber is like wait what kind of library are you going to because it's like 11 yeah night right he's like what kind of library you're going to and he's like and we're like oh the strip club the library he's like oh i'm taking you to the library at unlv so someone put in the university of nevada las vegas library idiot and i'm just like what the hell are you doing? They're blaming it on me. They're like, you hate it. I didn't type in the address.

Like, what are you doing? So we ended up going to a strip club and he's like, I can drop you off at this one right here. I guarantee it's really good. So I don't remember what the name was, but he dropped us off and we went and it was, it was actually cool. We paid the cover charge. We walked in.

It was a good, like It was a good show. Yeah, you always have to talk your way out of the cover charge. Dude, yeah. You go with the townie, and the townie gets you in. Why didn't you call me, dude? I would have gave you some. Okay. Okay, but it sounds like you still had a good time.

Let me ask you one thing, though. Did you happen to have cash before you went there? I did, yes, I did. Okay, you did have cash before you went there i did yes i did okay you did have cash okay that's good yeah i actually had um i think i had 300 in cash all right perfect okay cool perfect so i mean because it's it's vegas you always have to have cash that's the one place i always go to and i'm like i have to have cash yeah because pro tip just real quick for people that are listening if you go to the strip club in vegas sometimes the waitress will ask for your credit card if you don't have cash on you. And they go, oh yeah, by the way, can I get your ID because I have to verify your credit card? And they're going to

walk away. That's how identity theft happens. So bring cash. But go ahead, Tyler. Always bring cash. I let Mr. Benjamin do the talking. We're sitting down. We're having a good time. And this lady comes up to us. Now, I saw this lady at the table that was across from us. I assumed that she was one of the strippers because she looked like one of them. So I was like, okay, you know, whatever. So she comes up to us and she's like, hey, I'm really sorry to interrupt, but I'm here with my husband, which I'm like, oh, that explains why you were lap dancing all over that dude earlier. Yeah. So she's like, I'm here with my husband which i'm like oh that explains why you were lap dancing all over that dude earlier yeah so she's like so she's like i'm here with my husband we have a

sudden emergency we have to leave we have a whole bottle of i think it was vodka she's like we have a whole bottle of vodka we're still going to use some of it but would you like the other half and we just kind of looked at each other and we're like, okay, like, you know, it's free vodka. This sounds like a scam. We're not going to say no. And she's like, okay, cool. So she pours two full glasses and brings them over. Okay. Doesn't ask for any money or anything. Like she was really cool about it.

Okay. Okay, cool. Nice. So she drops off the two glasses and she said they were like, I think it was like a vodka sprite or whatever. Right. Now, by this time i'm already really drunk right but not drunk enough to the point where i'm either gonna black out or start throwing up so i drink one of these glasses and i kid you not when i say

this thing was a vodka and sprite this thing was 99 vodka one percent sprite oh my god there was and this is like a full like a full mini glass you know what i mean like not bigger than chocolate it's like a full you know like a like an old-fashioned style glass it's a full one of those right so i drank two of these just down as much vodka as i could so we you know we we leave the place at about one in the morning we get the uber and we get back i do not remember the ride back i do not remember getting up to the room the next thing i remember is i laid in the bed stayed there for about 10 seconds and went nope threw the covers, went to the bathroom and immediately started throwing up. It was bad, dude. I'm not even joking. Like we are talking.

Don't you dare. Don't you dare. Not in this room. We are talking top three drunk I've ever been in my life. It was so bad. There we go. I mean, that's how I felt throwing up. I'm like, please put this gun to my head. I'm going to kill myself. Dude, it was so bad. Ended up throwing

up as soon as we got back, knocked out, woke up at three in the morning, threw up again, then woke up the next morning on Saturday morning and threw up again It was Brutal I mean like the color in my face change I look like I got no fight the night before like it was bad

Every night me you guys yeah, you guys know me like I'm a bigger dude and everything so when I really start Dude when I throw up it is violent guys yeah you guys know me like i'm a bigger dude and everything so when i really start dude when i throw up it is violent it is like it sounds like fighting with velociraptors in the bathroom it's the exercise essentially yeah no it's bad right so saturday we get to saturday morning wait this is just one day right now it's friday oh my god this is friday this is friday day, right? No, it's Friday. Oh, my God. Yeah, this is Friday. This is Friday. It's a never-ending drug story. Saturday morning comes along, and I am just dying, dude. Right?

But we have something planned for 10 in the morning. So if you drive to Vegas, you will pass a place called Speed Vegas, which is right outside the Strip. Yeah. Maybe about a 10-minute drive. I've been there. I took my dad there. It's awesome. So we had never been there we went as we're doing the go-karts we noticed that you know the other part of speed vegas is all this exotic car racing yeah ferraris lamborghinis

yeah ferraris lambo's mclarens chevrolet uh not chevrolet uh corvettes which i guess is technically by chevrolet but still um so we have Corvettes, which I guess is technically by Chevrolet, but still. So we have all that stuff, right? And there's one car out there, and I think it's technically a Dodge Charger, but it's specifically a car that's used for just drifting, and that's it, right? So we do all that. Wait, you drifted in the car? So here's the thing. I did not because I knew.

I told everybody, if I get in this car, I will throw up. And they looked at me and they're like, yeah, honestly, you're probably right. And that's okay. So they did it. It looked like a blast. I got it on video. Oh, nice. It was really cool. I didn't know they had that part.

That must be new. That'd be fun. Yeah, it's really cool. I'll send you guys the video later. I put up earlier on my instagram um over the weekend but anyways and then saturday night shout out to menace for the recommendation we go to cut by wolfgang puck for dinner yes the food is so good uh we got a bread board and that bread is so good we each got a cut of steak i think i got the australian wagyu prime wow that's what i got yeah they gave us like a little dessert after uh the mac and cheese on the side is so good

so yeah really bomb place did you hear tyler though when he said a little dessert he was like they give us a little dessert like like it was an old cake what no no no so seriously they give us a little dessert because we were actually stuffed so we were gonna pass on dessert and then the waiter comes back and i think he says compliments of the chef or whatever and he gives us back like these four little like dark chocolate squares and they were delicious they were absolutely delicious so yeah but no vegas was a trip dude that was fun it was fun as i said i was also in vegas and there was a tweet that went out on saturday when i was at the pool and i said on twitter just saying heavy t on air is the most underrated personality for on air hashtag facts

and your reply was i'm gonna try to remain humble but he's right that was that was just that was just the twitter reply too so like i screenshot this uh-huh and i put it on instagram yes and i put one of my absolute favorite songs be uh as the background and it's dreams and nightmares by meek bill yes but specifically the part where he says hold up wait a minute y'all thought i was finished and i'm like because i love that song and i and i remember i text metis on instagram right after i said i am about to become insufferable now i mean but loki he is right though let's be real here now there was some haters that hit

me up about it of course there were what are your thoughts on that to the haters so one of the haters i saw specifically on twitter that would be eric saying that menace is way too drunk somebody please cut him off or something like that and you know what look haters their necks be hurting when they look up and see me on the top of the mountain of success that's all it is bro brett what was your thoughts on my tweet about tyler being the most underrated personality out there available i mean if you're on air if you want to talk about most underrated personalities on air or off the air i mean if that's your your way of saying a living train wreck of a person then yes it is good for comedy he is a hilarious train wreck of a

human being in life and existence it makes every wrong choice look look look okay let's just relax for a second let's all relax i'm not saying ty, you're not funny or get into these situations, but just sometimes I'm like. Look, we were in Vegas. We're both in Vegas, and we're tipsy, and I'm just gassing up my boy a little bit. Nothing wrong with that. I saw Eric's tweet first quoting you, and I went, oh, God. I'm not even responding to this right now. Well, since we talked about food, you guys want to talk about some food news real quick?

Oh, yeah. I have no idea who this guy is because he's a rookie, so he's not on my radar yet. But a Mayo-obsessed, Mayo as in mayonnaise, obsessed NFL rookie Will Levis secures a deal. What is it? Levis? Will Levis.

Levis secures a deal pimpingin some mayo is this guy worth it or what who is this guy where's he from he sucks he's from i don't i can't even remember what college he went to i think he went to kentucky average quarterback but the thing that makes this dude awful is this dude puts mayonnaise in his coffee okay like what no this dude legit puts mayonnaise in his coffee he's a disgusting being. He's a disgrace to everybody in America. But he got the deal, dog. He got the deal. Okay, don't get me wrong.

I love mayonnaise as much as the next guy. I'm not putting it in my coffee. I'm not putting it in any beverage whatsoever. What are you talking about, dude? Are you sure? How do you even discover that you love mayo in your coffee? You try it. How do you even discover that?

No, that's gross, dude. No, you did that as five years old and you have the taste buds of a child okay that's what it is another food news haters gonna hate but watch the money pile up arby's balling out of control arby's and buffalo wild wings to buy subway for nine billion dollars if you don't know arby's is also part of baskin robbins buffalo wild. Buffalo Wild Wings, like I said, and Dunkin', they got stupid money, and they're buying Subway. Can they turn Subway around? I think so.

Imagine the combos that they can do. They can put some donuts up in Subway now. They can take some of these Buffalo Wild Wing flavors, put it up in Subway. It can just be, like, so many different mashups they can do. I like it. I like it. Think of the seasoningsups they can do i like it i like i think of the seasonings that they can add now to those sandwiches thank you i'm gonna i'm gonna be real about something uh i'm pretty sure arby's is laundering money or something at this point it makes no sense dude okay look i don't know anyone that goes to i've been to arby's once in my life

bitch i don't okay i don't know anyone besides Menace that's going to Arby's. And here's the thing, too. I thought Arby's... Hey, you know what? Maybe it's a Southern thing. When I lived in Texas, I didn't know a single person that went to Arby's. Arby's is laundering money, okay? There's not...

I don't believe it for a second. There is something... Arby's is the head of a criminal empire, okay? There's something suspicious going on here. All right. If Tyler's going to throw out such an audacious, slanderous account such as that, I'm going to throw one on top of that. That's probably going to piss everybody off in this room.

Okay. If they're laundering money, then Whataburger is the king of laundering money because they are the most basic ass burger place I have ever had in my life. Whoa. You know what? Extremely bland. Oh, cool. They bring you a platter of sauces to your table.

It doesn't make the burger any better. It doesn't make anything better. Oh, damn. Arby's on their hands curly fries. Enough said. They are seasoned to perfection. The Whataburger stuff, I actually kind of agree on. So this is my thing because there's always the battle of Whataburger versus In-N-Out.

If it comes to the burger by itself, In-N-Out blows it out of the water. It's not even close. If it comes to the restaurant as a whole, Whataburger is better because they just have way more to offer. They have nothing to offer. They literally have nothing. They have sauces on a platter. They had a pretty good Dr. Pepper shake that I enjoyed. Okay, hold on.

Their Dr. Pepper shake is fire number one. Their patty melt is really, really good. They had a chicken tender sandwich where you threw provolone on top of it and then covered it in buffalo sauce. God tier, right? Frito pie sandwich where we're talking chili and Fritos on top of the burger. But bro, look.

There is one thing I will never... Did you hear that? Rewind the tape. There is one thing I will never knock them on. Their breakfast is God tier. Honey butter chicken biscuit.

I can't speak on it. Never had it. Never had it. If only they actually had breakfast past like 8 a.m. God tier. God tier food. All right. Okay. Take your word on that. Here's some's here food. All right. Okay. We're going to have to take your word on that. Okay.

Here's some other food news. Did you hear? Now that Taco Tuesday is available to everybody to use, Jack in the Box is jumping on board, and they're giving you free tacos on Tuesdays with their meals. Okay. Are you all in or all out? Yes. With free meal. Okay. Are you all in or all out? Yes. With free tacos.

That's a pretty good thing to get people in. A free taco with your meal? On a Tuesday? Yes. It's going up on a Tuesday. Oh, my God. Okay. Think about it.

All right. Look, I can't have those tacos no more. Sorry. Luke, Luke. I can't have those tacos anymore. I can't eat them. But when I did, oh, man, we'd go a hammer. We'd take $10 to Jack in the Box and come out of there with like 20 tacos.

So just buying anything in game-free tacos? Yes. All about it. All right. Jack in the Box tacos are like crack cocaine. They are so good, dude. Hell yeah. Did you see this trend that a guy started? I think it was at some baseball parks where he started using hot dogs as a straw for his

beer and people started doing it anymore. That guy can go to hell. But anyways, it got so popular online that Oscar Mayer is officially coming out with a hot dog straw. Now it's not a real hot dog. It's a plastic hot dog with a hole in it. I know! I want the real hot dog. How hard would it be to make it? All you gotta do is take those hot dogs

with the cheese inside of them and just not put the cheese. There's a giant opening right there. And there you go. You can pre-order online at OscarMeyer.com, which is my favorite hot dog by the way. And Tyler's used to sucking out of a hot dog too. True, right? Daily.

I resent the statement okay and other food news taco bell this looks pretty good chili crisp chicken taco and chili crisp chicken strips little chicken strip dippers all in or all out so they're fiery they're hot chicken strips because i'll never go against racing canes all day every day you know what i'm saying but if i'm there at taco bell i'll throw those up in there some hot chicken well it's a completely different thing going back to vegas real quick uh i want to ask everybody what are you guys drinking these days what is your alcohol of choice i'm gonna tell you right now you know shout out to jack fire so good you're a big fan of fireball you also love jack fire delicious for me and i know it's very controversial these days but i think it's okay now since kid rock is drinking

but like there's a thing called but like next that i love It's like zero carbs, zero calories type thing because, look, I'm not trying to get any fatter. I love it. It has a different taste to it. Okay. It is so good. Bud Light Next. Look into it. It's delicious.

What are you guys drinking? I think for the most part, I'm drinking one of three things. I'm either getting, and I'm not including beer. If I'm getting beer, it's an 805 i love 805 um if it's a mixed drink it's one of three things it's either a margarita which is my absolute favorite uh i've become hell yeah very heavily invested into vodka red bowls those are delicious oh yeah you're such a basic college bitch right now. I know. And you know what? Shout out to Chevy. You.

You can't go wrong with a classic Jack and Coke. It's delicious. It's smooth. It goes down really well. You can't go wrong. I would love to try the Coca-Cola Jack Daniels. Do you see those cans? Oh, the cans?

Yeah. No, dude, I've had those on many occasions. Hey, those things sneak up on you. You drink four of them, you're feeling it. Because they come in a four-pack. And by the way, you can buy the four-pack for $10 over at your local Walmart. But yeah, they do have those. They are delicious, but they are strong, and they come up on you.

All right. Yeah, there's a good mix on those. Might I suggest, Tyler, next time to combine yours with Menace's, grab some Jack Fire and put that in your Coke because it makes it a little spicy. Very nice. Okay, okay, okay. So what are you drinking lately, Brett? I'll peel back the curtain just a little bit for most people here. Menace knows of this.

I don't drink hard alcohol really anymore. I love my whiskey. I've loved it since day one. Yes. And I will still do like a cheers with it every once in a while but i like it too much once it hits your lips that's it it's done and i can't be like that so uh dude it's just beer from now on man it's beer i really go hard for the japanese beer so sepporo and acai i am a sucker for colt 45 if i could find it anywhere but for the most part man it's just

beer these days yeah uh if anyone here drinks el segundo or knows the brewery el segundo in los angeles they have stone cold steve austin's beer oh hell yeah so not So not only do you have the Broken Skull IPA, not only do you have the American Lager, you have the Broken Skull Double IPA. Oh, yeah. So I'm all about that, man. Just beer. Give me some IPAs. Give me some anything. I'm down with it.

Nice. Yeah. Okay, coming off of what you're drinking, I want to ask you guys, what's coming up? What's on your calendar?

Tiger Army, I used to see them a lot with AFI. Oh, yeah. They would come together in the Bay Area all the time. Yeah, two very different styles of punk. And their fan bases are just so huge still to this day. In the Bay Area all the time. Two very different styles of punk. Their fan bases are just so huge still to this day. Talk about bands that were either on Warped Tour or just touring constantly, and you can find pockets of fans everywhere.

You don't hear them on the radio, right? That's just how it is. Maybe they don't have music videos out because that's dead. But the fan bases and the streaming numbers are so strong that you go out to the show, it's going to be packed. AFI show's packed. Tiger Army, packed. Babymetal?

Oh, it's- Oh, it's packed. Dude, sold out. They added two dates. If Babymetal's popping up in my feed, it's a big deal. Oh, this was huge. Yeah. Babymetal, coming back, brand brand new album sold out world tour and i've been preaching it to you men and i've been preaching it to all you guys and i heard

crickets crickets now we we weren't up on it dude but now you are yeah because not only have they already collabed with little uzi vert on his album. Yes. Now they have an over 1 million viewed video online, brand new music video with Tom Morello. Wow. How did this pop up in your feed? Was it just the Tom Morello thing? Was it music or like? It was the Tom Morello thing.

And then you, I think you're the one that told me about Lil Uzi. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, Lil Uzi. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, Lil Uzi Vert had this album come out and he collabed with Babymetal. He did a bunch of collabs with WWE themes. Nice.

Dude, very odd to see that go into my world. And, you know, I saw the Tom Morello collab with Babymetal. And I thought, I don't know really what to think of this. You know, because I get a little worried when it comes to Collapse. But then I saw the video. I'm like, dude, it's just fun. It's this fun song. It's this fun popping song. And it's wild if you watch it.

You have, like, Kabuki happening. And in the background of the video, Tom Morello is, like, God, overseeing them. It's so weird, man. So Babymetal, I can't preach this enough. If you want to go see something fun, you want to listen to something fun, and you're into metal, or maybe you're just into music, maybe you're into J-pop, K-pop, listen to

Babymetal. You will not regret it. We'll check it out. Tyler, do you have anything coming up? You know, so as I look at my calendar right now, we are officially two weeks away from football being officially back week one uh opening up with chiefs lions on that thursday night football game college football is back this

weekend so i will be working a ton and when i'm not i will be on my couch but i do actually have a couple things planned so menace we do have your birthday party on the 6th. Nice. The following Friday. Tyler's coming? Yes. Yes. Hell yeah. I will be there. I will be there for the first time, I think, since the first one, actually.

Hell yeah. So many air horns. So, yeah, I know. So many air horns. So we have that. I have a wedding to go to the following Friday. That's going to be at Disney. That'll be kind of cool.

Oh, that's cool. At Disney? Yeah, it's going to be at Disney. It's in the Grand Californian Hotel. So that's going to be at Disney. That'll be kind of cool. Oh, that's cool. At Disney? Yeah, it's going to be at Disney. It's in the Grand Californian Hotel. So that's going to be pretty sick. Yeah. I do not have a plus one, but I'll see if I can sneak you in, bro. I got you.

Yeah. So that'll be really fun. And then I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to go. I'm going to try my best to, but I'm not 100% sure if I'm gonna go i'm gonna try my best to but i'm not 100 sure if i'm gonna go so my cousin also has his wedding on november 3rd that is in kentucky so i might be traveling to ohio so flying into cincinnati yeah because they live in uni kentucky which is about a half hour outside of cincinnati so i might be that. But if I don't do that, I'm still going to eventually go to Ohio anyway

because a little bit of a backstory. My brother just got engaged to his long-distance girlfriend. Oh, what? Yeah, which is really cool. It's the first time I'm going to be having someone new in my family since my last brother was born in 99. Sweet, you're going to be in a couple soon. Yeah. I know, dude. It's's freaking me out your kids can play together yeah no i don't have

kids let's make that clear let's make that clear allegedly i know i don't have kids left them in texas three baby mamas oh no anyways notice how i didn't deny that anyways so uh my brother is going to be their whole plan is once they get married they're going to move to Colorado right so but they don't want to be too far from each other for like the majority of the engagement period yeah so he's actually gonna be moving to Ohio so yeah he's gonna be moving to Ohio for a couple months uh me and him had to talk about this he's like I'm gonna need some of my couple months. Me and him had to talk about this. He's like, I'm going to need some of my stuff. I'm going to need my car.

What does that mean? Road trip, baby. Dude, you're road tripping across America. Oh, no. Yeah, dude, I love driving. America, bro. I love road trips. So this is going to be very similar to that LA to New York road trip I took.

Oh, no. Yes. So we would basically take the exact same route with the exception of, I think, when we get to Dayton, Ohio, we would split off and go north instead of keep going down the same way. There's two things in the Cleveland area that I really want to do

that I am going to try my best to go out of my way to do. Number one, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland. Nice. I see that one there. Nice, yeah. But number two, more importantly, as I hold this near and dear to my heart, 20 miles outside of Cleveland in Canton, Ohio,

the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame. And I need, you guys don't even know, I need to go to this thing. I need to be there. I need to see the hallow sacred ground that these legends have walked on like i am so stoked and my brother could just move in his well i'm just over there touring i guess but like but not so yeah i i'm gonna maybe go to ohio twice i'm going at least once uh just depends on which one i'm gonna do it for but yeah we have

Also, I just shot something right here that was pretty cool. You're going to see on my social media, but I'll give you a little teaser. We had, what, like 20 nuns just outside the studio. Yeah. The Nun 2 movie is going to be coming out September 8th. So go check that out.

Watch the trailer. It is scary. I got to see the trailer in the movie theater a couple of times. Had to look away because, you know, scary movies scare me. So check out the Nun 2. Also check out my social media again for all those updates on events and things like that tyler do you have anything to say before we leave i do actually um i have one thing and one thing only and i doubt he'll ever hear this but we're gonna

do it anyway all right arty moreno if you can hear this, sell the Angels. You're the worst owner I've ever seen. You are garbage. Dudes, okay, so I'm recording this on a Friday, right? This has been one of the roughest 48 hours of sports fandom I've ever had in my entire life. Dude, okay, so look. The Angels are on their way to another losing season. I want to say that's like their eighth, ninth, tenth in a row, something like that.

Haven't been to the playoffs in nine years, okay? So on top of that, there's the whole clouded thing that like, oh, hey, Shohei Otani, he's probably going to leave. He's not coming back. And he's been leaving games early because he has arm fatigue right turns out this dude has a torn ucl in his elbow because the angels are looking like oh he's just tired let's throw him back out there and don't do anything else the medical staff is run by a two-year-old child yeah now he's done yeah now he's done he could probably still hit but now he

needs tommy john he's probably gonna need to probably still hit, but now he needs Tommy John. He's probably going to need Tommy John surgery again, which affects the value of this mega contract he's supposed to get. He's definitely leaving the team. Mike Trout comes back after being on the IL, comes back for one game, hurts himself again, goes back to the IL. What the hell is going on? Okay. You sign all these dudes. They don't perform whatsoever you're basically handing money to retirees at this point yeah okay like all these rookies you pick up none of them pan out you bring them out too early i'm pretty sure i would be hired on the medical staff and i know how to put on a band-aid like dude this team sucks did they hire the guy that uh gave that

shot to the dude on the chargers probably probably Did they hire the guy that gave that shot to the dude on the Chargers? Probably. They probably hired the guy that punctured Tyra Taylor's lung. He was in the area, knows how to do a needle. Let's hire this guy, right? They probably hired a tattoo artist as the medical staff because this guy knows how to work a needle. I hate this team so much. Tattoo artists at least know how to bandage

up people you said before you hate teams and you're all you're off board are you done with this team are you coming to the dodgers or what i'm i'm gonna be very honest do not be surprised if you see me in the dodgers pavilion yes not even joking dude i am at my wits end with this team I think the only way I remain an angel fan is if Artie sells the team this offseason if he sells the team and someone else buys it so we can get this thing rolling okay I'll stick around if he does it no I'm gone dude I I'm so done with this team it has been awful just awful And I know everyone's like, oh, BS, you're not doing that. Watch me, okay?

Watch me and see if I give an F about what you think about it. Watch me do it. Alright. That is the end of my statement. Brett, do you have anything to say before we leave? Yeah, first of all, I want to say, of course, Tyler says that,

but let's not forget how he is with the Falcons. Let's not forget how he is with the Angels all the time. Give him one more week, and he's going to be sobbing and crying and pleading, and then he'll be right back to the teams just like he always is. Always, always, always. So predictable, Tyler. Real quick, rapid fire. Star Wars Ahsoka came out on Disney+.

Yeah! If you're a fan of Star Wars The Clone Wars, if you're a fan of Star Wars Rebels, you don't need to watch those, but it helps if you do. Or if you're a fan of The Mandalorian or just Star Wars in general, this is an amazing new show that continues the legacy of George Lucas

and probably has the best matching pace of the original Star Wars trilogy. You get CGI, you get puppets, you get lightsaber battles, space battles. Do not listen to the preposterous, pompous-filled haters out there. They just want to bitch and complain about everything, man, and bring it down. So just go enjoy Ahsoka. It star wars just go love it uh aew has their first european pay-per-view this weekend sold out wembley stadium in england you can watch it on pay-per-view this weekend and it features all your favorite wrestlers like kenny omega hangman out of page, MJF and Adam Cole in the main event, and tons more.

And one last thing, real fast, RIP to not only the legend, Terry Funk, who passed away this week. But another young guy. Well, yeah, I was going to say that. So Terry Funk, 72, lived a long life, storied career through every promotion. Yeah, but... WWE's Bray wyatt age of 36 passed away battling you know recovering from a long covid it seemed like had a heart condition exasperated so r.i.p to bray wyatt he was a fantastic wrestler uh so

creative and had so much more to give so just just thoughts with his family, because that's rough, man. He had little kids and just a very, very rough year for the wrestling world losing people. So just wanted to pat that. Not to end on a downer, but you know what? We had probably 40 tweets come into the Woody show about it today and text messages asking about it. So just RIP, both legends.

And if you miss them, all their stuff is still there for you to enjoy as a fan so they live forever for sure all right well with that we'll see you next week what's new what's new with menace Outro Music
