What's new, what's new with Menace?
What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod.
I'm Menace, I'm joined by Bort, a.k.a. Brett.
He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Witty Show Morning Show
that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFM.
We are joined by our friends Eric and Randy who are coming to us live from Downey, California.
And just over yonder is our buddy Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T, that is in Wh Downey, California. And just over yonder is our buddy Tyler, aka Heavy T,
that is in Whittier, California. And now joining us every week would be our friend Julianne
and Covina. And I'm so happy to be doing this podcast once again. We took a couple of weeks
off. We had the holidays this past week. It's just been a drag for me on the Woody show, getting back into a normal routine.
I stayed up for like 36 hours straight and then I was just feeling like crap.
So I apologize that we didn't have a new episode for you for a while,
but we are back and there's so much to talk about.
And Julianne, you had yet another announcement.
I say another because you're pregnant once again.
I am. Yep.
We're trying to shoot for that boy, but.
Yeah, you got another girl.
How disappointed are you?
You know, it's hard to say I'm disappointed.
I mean, I am, but at the same time, I'm happy because I had the prior two miscarriages.
So I'm obviously happy that she's healthy and growing and sticking, but it's just disappointing knowing
I'll never, ever get my boy. I'll never have that last dance with him at his wedding. I'll never
have a mama's boy. When Eric's baby and your baby get married, it would be like having a son
because you'll know this kid your whole life. what's new families join as one yes i know
who would have thought under god um tyler did you get all the legos you wanted for christmas
uh yeah so i got the funny thing is is i i actually put lego sets on my christmas list
but here's the thing lego sets on my christmas list it was the last thing on the list and here's
the thing with my family is that i'll put stuff on the list and i never get anything that i actually put on the list it's just
the way it is and i i don't i don't mind it i kind of like the surprise more anyway well i was really
caught off guard when my brother he's like hey just a heads up your gifts in the mail but it's
this and it's the jurassic park lego set but the one specifically where the t-rex is
breaking through the cage and attacking the cv so it's pretty sick okay this this thing looks pretty
dope it was kind of cool because this is uh the highest paying job i've had ever in my career so
far so i was able to go a little extra on gifts for everybody else so that was kind of nice that's awesome now how did your birthday
go who'd you hook up with uh i worked my entire birthday i i i'm gonna be honest i think i've
worked every birthday i think since i was 18 i don't think i've ever taken my birthday off
and it's not even because i don't want to but i know that my yeah i mean there's no other phrases
things like yeah like he's some
pioneer? He's like, I worked on my birthday
since I was 18. Yeah, you're an 18-year-old
adult, dude. Okay, well, I've worked
on my birthday every day since I've been an adult.
Even I, who has a
birthday month, I have never taken
my birthday off. Okay, I'm
going to go against everybody here
and be the, are you guys all also
the same people who are like, I've never taken a sick day. I'm at work every i'm at work every day like dude i've taken my birthday i don't want to see any of
you people i'm sorry i want a good day i will take a sick day uh i've learned my lesson with that
like for whatever reason people get pissed off if you take a sick day and now i'm just like you
know what i'm gonna take a sick day it's crazy because they don't want you going to work because
you're sick but then you call out sick oh you're faking oh whatever you're such a don't want you going to work because you're sick, but then you call out sick. Oh, you're faking.
Oh, whatever.
You're such a jerk for taking off.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
I'll just come here and spread my disease everywhere around the office.
I don't know anybody like that.
Yeah, I know.
You can't spread high cholesterol, Tyler.
Ah!
Shut up.
Top rope.
So last week, I was was washed i was so exhausted so i was supposed to go over
the weekend i was gonna go to vegas and do some previews of ces which is the i'm sure you'll see
it all over the news but you know consumer electronics um i forget what the s stands for
but it's a convention where you
check out all the new gadgets that are happening. Right. So I got invited to this preview and I was
like, ah, I'm still not fully recuperated yet. I'm going to skip the weekend thing. So I decided
I'm just going to go tomorrow. Right. So I do the show. I have my flight, get on the flight and I
head to Vegas and I start texting all my contacts.
I'm like, hey, guys, where are you at over at the convention center?
Blah, blah.
They go, we're at the lake partying right now.
I go, you are?
You go, yeah.
See, yes, this is starting until tomorrow.
So this is like right when I'm landing in Vegas.
Right.
So I'm landing at one o'clock.
And then so I just look it up and it says uh flight back to
burbank 215 i uh got a ticket for that so i sat at the airport had some lunch lost 100 bucks on
a salt machine and flew right back home so that was my day yesterday that's wild
i mean there's nothing to do what am i gonna do just like i i Go wander around Vegas? We've done that a zillion times.
Punk Rock Museum, come on.
Have you ever been?
There's that.
I do want to go back for CES.
I'll be back. I'll be fine.
Some of the food places off the strip, dude.
There's plenty of those around.
This is probably the one person in the world
who has enough Vegas in his life.
I'm good, dude. Why go spend a a ton of money i could just go right back home and be
home with my dogs but uh real quick i want to i want to shout out you've heard me promote this
before but it's coming up soon january 30th i'm gonna be at the new raising canes in whittier
this is the second location in Whittier to open.
It's on Telegraph.
And again, I'll be there from 3 to 5 p.m.
doing a bunch of giveaways.
So again, come hang out at Raising Cane's in Whittier on Telegraph, January 30th from 3 to 5 p.m.
And I do have a little update on that.
Ooh, yes.
I was driving.
I was driving by on my way home from work.
It was dark outside because it's night already. and I look, and the lights are on inside.
Electricity is being turned on.
It's coming together.
They have the nice little sign because they're revamping that whole area where the Raising Kings is at.
So I guess it's going to be known as Tella Mills Plaza because it's right there on the corner of Telegraph and Mills.
So Tella Mills Plaza right there.
Nice. You talked about a building that you said that was also being built right next to it,
and you're trying to figure out what it was going to be.
Have you got any updates on that?
I do not.
I'm not going to lie.
Over the holidays, I kind of forgot about it.
Okay.
Well, hit us up and let us know.
While I was in Vegas, though, at the airport, guess what it was flooded with?
A bunch of Super Bowl stuff.
Like all the gear, all the merch, ready to go.
All right.
And I want to ask everybody right now, please give me a straight answer.
Who's going to the Super Bowl?
Buffalo, San Francisco.
Buffalo, San Francisco.
Eric's in.
Okay.
Tyler?
San Francisco, Houston.
Oh, God.
Randy?
San Francisco, Baltimore. Julianne, do you. Randy? San Francisco-Baltimore.
Julianne, do you know anybody?
Bort?
Hopefully the Bills go.
Hopefully the Bills go.
I've written free at Eric.
I'm just going to say go Bills.
Go Bills.
Go Bills.
And whatever the other crap team is.
All right.
Well, I do hope the Bills get in there.
I'm going to be honest.
We've all picked San Francisco, which makes me suddenly not feel good about them going
to the Super Bowl.
But you feel good about the Houston Texans?
Well, I tweet my prediction. Exactly, dude. which makes me suddenly not feel good about them going to the Super Bowl. But you feel good about the Houston Texans?
Well, I tweet my prediction.
Exactly, dude.
I've got to stand in line with the prediction, man.
This dude is so stupid, man.
He's put out some stupid bait clicky tweet.
And he's like, it's like, oh, the Texans and the Chiefs
will make the AFC Championship game and the Texans will win it, right?
That's why he picked the Texans to go to the Super Bowl.
And another thing where Tyler just tries to to he you want people to respond yeah like
yeah he phrases things like it's some like revelation he's like somehow this got picked
up by Houston Twitter you worked in Houston for like two years what do you mean bro like
they didn't just find it you have followers from Houston of course it's gonna get like wait
people in Houston want the team to go to the Super Bowl?
He sent this tweet to me
and he's like, yeah, somehow this got
popular in Houston and it's my most liked
tweet. I'm like, yeah, dude, the thoughts
are there. Just connect them. Somehow.
The entire influx of new followers he got
in Houston were sports fans because
he worked on a sports talk show.
This is going to make Eric hate me a little bit more.
I think going into it now, because I put that tweet back in November,
going into it now, the Chiefs look awful, dude.
They just don't look good.
The Bills can beat them.
And here's the thing, too, is that if that game ends up happening
where it's Bills, Chiefs, and the divisional round,
that game would be in Buffalo this time,
which is a major home field advantage.
So I just don't see the Chiefs making it.
Don't get your stank on the Bills.
Guys, look.
You're the only one on this podcast I don't want saying go Bills.
Didn't say go Bills.
He does hate you.
The hate's real.
All right.
It's true.
Beak on it.
Also, the Super Bowl stuff, so many things going on uh not only did they have the guy
fieri tailgate they have the shack fun house they have the gronk party they have uh i know tcl
they're throwing a party with little wayne over at top golf they have announced over across the
street from the win they're gonna have a Taco Bell innovation event.
I'm in.
Yes.
I'm in.
A lot of stuff happening Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas.
So get out there if you can.
You guys want to get some emails from the people?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Here's the email.
Email says, what's up, guys?
Love the pod.
I've been listening for years, which is weird that we've been
doing this for years now oh yeah listening for years i'm so happy i can write the show now
also i love that juliana's back my question is if you're stuck on an island and had to pick one
person on the pod to be there with who would it be and who would be the last person you pick on the list that is from melissa and
lake charles louisiana i had a look up lake charles louisiana looks pretty nice and yes
they do have a lake oh crap this is gonna be a bird fest yeah who wants to go lake charles
yeah charles is like the las vegas of louisiana that's awesome fun time and with that tyler will
be my last person along want on the island.
The first person I want is Eric
for multiple reasons. Number one being that Eric
gets stuff done when he needs to get done. And also,
Eric is just the right amount of
bossy,
to which he convinces
me to do a lot of stuff that I don't think I have to do.
So I'd be like, alright, well,
it's important to have someone like that around you in your corner
because it's like, I do have to get this done.
Sounds like somebody I work with five days a week.
All right, Julianne, first and last.
Last, I mean, come on, Tyler.
Sorry, no offense.
Wow.
But probably I would say between you and Eric, Menace,
but I think you'll have to go with...
Yeah, I think I'd have to go with Menace
only because I think me
and Eric and I would fight.
And so I think that you're more
easygoing, so I think
I would have to pick Menace.
All right, Brett?
First, Eric, hands down.
I was already married to him for four years.
Oh, yeah, you guys are already a team.
You know how to work together.
I'll rekindle that any time, anywhere, any day.
Last?
Last.
God, I'm going to say this is actually kind of hard for me.
Really?
Eric's top.
I'd probably say
randy's number two menace you tyler and julianne all have your a lot of pluses but there's like a
lot of negatives there's one thing from each one of you that i'd be like get them off the damn
island right now um a lot of negative uh no offense oh she's gonna be mad sorry Jules
oh Julianne
it's okay you're right above
Tyler because you don't have enough energy
yeah see exactly we don't click that way
it's not gonna work
alright Eric
I don't know man yeah it's probably
it'd be flip flopping depending on what like
my intentions are on this island between Randy and Brett.
Because again, yeah, I've worked with both of them.
And I think I might have a little more fun
on the island with Randy,
but I definitely get more done.
Like, are we trying to like re-
I think you're trying to get off the island.
Okay, well then probably Brett.
Because I think I'd get done.
Because I'd probably get more distracted.
I'd get way more distracted with Randy.
Like me and Randy would end up just like
playing on the beach
or something
or playing in the water.
Like, hey man,
are we going to get off this island?
Last would probably be Tyler
because he would just annoy me.
And then Madison,
Madison, Julianna
just floating around the middle.
Yeah.
Are you Randy Manning?
Frolicking on the beach?
Yeah, exactly.
At some point,
we're going to realize like,
hey, we've been on this island for two months.
Are we going to get off this time soon?
I could see the conversation, too,
playing catch with a coconut,
and then Eric being like,
we should probably get off this island.
Oh, yeah, bro.
Menace, I feel like you would know somebody
who would somehow know that we're stuck there,
and they would just come get us
because you just know everybody true true oh all right tyler you haven't answered yet uh yeah i
would have eric first because he would berate me into getting off the island within a week
and i would have julianne last because she would berate me into walking into the ocean and never coming back.
I've become one with the sea.
I am of the sea turtles.
I would say for me, number one will be Brett,
and I'll tell you why.
Oh, thank you.
Because Brett always carries a knife with him,
so we could use that.
See?
There you go. We could use that to make a boat or something. Knife. I got a knife with him so we could use that see there you go we could use that to like make a boat or something knife i got a knife i got a multi-two i have like a spoon fork like
see thing in my bag yeah you guys got to really think about it so i'm picking brett number one
and i mean it's a toss-up between i think you know i wouldn't pick julianne last because guys again this is a mother
that people are gonna go look for for kids so let's pretend i don't have kids if you don't have
kids you're dead but um so it's between tyler and randy and i think it just, because of Randy's ADD, he has to be last.
Because I'm like, dude, I'll try to work with him to get some stuff done.
And he'd be like, oh, there's a squirrel on the island.
I'm going to go chase it.
I'm like, dude, we're trying to build a bamboo boat to get out of here.
But, Menace, this squirrel is different from the other squirrel.
And there's another squirrel over there.
I think if we train the squirrels, it may take about six to eight months.
That was a really good question, Melissa.
Thank you.
Yeah, if you want to write...
I'm going to be honest with you.
These squirrels have decided to make me their leader.
I'm staying.
Yeah, keep on writing us.
Email is writethepod at gmail.com.
That's writethepod at gmail.com.
We do have one other short email and the email
is Julianne, show me your
feet from
Tyler Sutter. Victor
in Lancaster.
Julianne, you did share with us
the only reason I read that short email
is you did share with us before
some DMs from, you get
DMs like that all the time where guys
are trying to proposition you?
They have no shame.
All the time.
All the time.
Like I'll just tell my brothers and they're like, what the hell's wrong with them?
I'm like, I don't know.
Like, don't they have like sisters or like girlfriends?
Like, would they seriously talk to the moms?
Would they talk to them like that?
Like, why do they think that's okay?
I was like, I don't know.
It's funny.
Whatever.
Who cares? The DM that you're sharing with with us i don't want to give too many
details but the guy like said that he wanted to be with you and you're like i'm married he's like
oh what does it matter you're like well i am pregnant too oh what does it matter like damn
the thirst is real dude oh yeah i i know and you know, it's funny that you brought up that email with the
feet and I said Andrew because there's this
guy that I think his name's Andrew.
Maybe it's Victor. But anyways,
I thought I had cute shoes
on at like my friend's Christmas party.
So I video
my feet, my shoes
and he's like, oh, dude, free content.
I'm like,
and Kevin just laughs. He's like, damn, if, free content. I'm like, and Kevin just laughs.
He's like, damn, if they only knew you, you're so gross.
I'm like, I know.
No joke.
I saw that story and I went, oh, all the creepy feet people are coming out.
I know.
And now they're writing the pod.
Write a story and hit screenshot.
Yeah.
I did not.
I would like to make this announcement that i
have not done that let me see your phone tyler oh i was gonna say i just uh i always write them
back and i never say you know shut the f up or if they get like too much or too annoying i'm like
listen you gotta stop like you've played it out like you're annoying i'm not showing you my boobs
like it's enough they're like oh sorry My bad. And then they're good for
a while, and then they start up
again. Yeah, I forgot.
I can't scroll through the text messages
and see our DMs.
That'll be $5.99
on OnlyFans, please.
But none of
them are hot. They all look like Tyler.
That's not nice.
Damn. You ripped apart today. I'm used to this every week. them are hot they all look like tyler oh that's not nice damn hey tyler's need love to part today
i'm used to this every week
all right um so i do have some food news but this is kind of actually tech news a little bit i
wanted to share this with you so walmart they're having this new thing where on the self-checkout you can use a firm to pay for things right how crazy is that
so they have built in a firm if you guys don't know that's a like pay later website so they'll
give you basically a credit and then you just have to make monthly payments so i guess this is the
new form of layaway that walmart is implementing that is pretty crazy i knew that they were doing it on their website already because every time, you know, I'm
a dork, so I go look for action figures.
It's like, would you like to pay for this with this firm for $14.99 over six months?
Yeah, but now it's actually at the checkout.
Dude, that's insane.
Wow.
PS5s and TVs just fly by the shelves.
I will say, I will say, I have to make a confession.
Okay, let me preface this.
It was not a big purchase. I did this for Ish and Giggles when I was drunk in Pasadena a couple. Okay, let me preface this. It was not a big purchase.
I did this for Ish and Giggles when I was drunk in Pasadena a couple months ago.
Oh, that's the thing.
That's a nice setup right there.
I made a $30 purchase on a firm, and I was doing $5 payments.
And for three months later, I look back at my statement.
I'm like, why am I being charged $5?
And it's because I had forgotten that I wanted to see if they would
do 30 bucks over the course of a couple months.
Was the interest free?
It was like 50 cents.
50, 60 cents interest.
So I ended up paying like eight bucks more,
which is stupid,
but I was drunk and I thought it was funny, but
it was only funny to myself. That's almost a third of the
price. I know.
Look, guys, I know. And sober Eddie's not condoned third of the price. I know. Look, guys.
I know.
And sober Eddie's not condoned that kind of behavior.
Don't use it for him.
And not to go down a rabbit hole, and we shouldn't,
but how in debt is everybody right now?
This is insane.
Yeah, it's the highest it's ever been, to be honest,
with credit cards.
Because after the pandemic, everybody,
this is not stuff that I'm just making up.
I've read a bunch of reports
on it. People went straight up YOLO on their credit cards. And now we're finally catching
up where people are running, they're running out, their limits are maxed out. This is the highest
credit card debt in history. So yeah. So that's why you kind of see stuff slowing down, inflation
going down because people are just out of money.
They can't just go to the well.
The well is dry.
Well, and that's for all the people during the pandemic that actually paid for everything and actually didn't skip out or didn't get any handouts or shortcuts.
They were like, dude, we actually paid out of pocket for everything, and we have no money anymore.
Yeah.
And that's just credit cards, dude.
Cars are a whole other thing, too, because they're all being overvalued and so
and they were overvalued and now you're paying off these these loans for like three times more
than what the car is actually worth now and so they're projecting that that's going to crash
too along with the credit card debt but yeah because people are not going to want to make
those payments yeah they can't make the credit card payment they can't make the car payment
yeah yeah it's it's gonna be bad speaking of cars
sorry really quick menace yes have you seen the new toyota highlander grand well it looks like
my highlander except in the back it's bigger and like kevin could fit in the back and that's
you know what i did see that i did see that it's awesome right, right? It's so sick. Yes. Yes. Yes, I want it. It's cool.
I love the body style on it.
It's awesome.
Yeah, the front, the grill.
Oh, it's so just nice, slick.
So awesome.
Yeah.
Anyway, I got excited.
I have to say, as a Toyota driver, I am a little butthurt at how nice the new Priuses
look versus like the Priuses from two, three years prior.
Oh, yeah.
The new body style?
Yeah. Yeah. I have 2019, so it looks like a bug and the new onesuses look versus the Priuses from two, three years prior. Oh yeah, the new body style? I have 2019, so it looks like a bug.
And the new ones look so cool. They look like a race car.
They look like race cars.
Every time I see one, I'm like...
Plus, they have the nice big screen, which again, you don't need
any of this. I'm not saying you do. It's just
pure first world jealousy. But I see
them, and every time I see them, it hurts a little bit
because I was like one to two years away from
having those nice ass ones.
It's called trade in value.
And I can't do that.
That that Highland, the Highlander Grand, I believe it's starting somewhere between fifty five and it goes up to like sixty three grand.
I'm like, damn.
Yeah, it's so nice.
It's so nice.
It's probably worth every penny.
Speaking of cars, before we started this podcast, Tyler's like, I just got a notification that my car is done at the shop.
What's wrong with the car?
Oh, the brakes just need to be replaced on the back wheels.
That's it.
How much money have you spent on?
It's a Volkswagen, by the way, which is the dumbest investment I would ever do.
And a Jetta.
What is it? I think for the four years I've had it, I've put maybe, if I had to think, maybe a thousand
worth of just like standard, you know, repairs.
I think you're low balling it.
There's no way.
No way.
I'm sure.
Your brakes alone were probably like what?
A hundred something?
Two hundred?
Well, brakes and rotors.
So to do the back, about 300.
But you only get brakes and rotors done like what?
Once every year?
Maybe two years?
Something like that? A year? A year. I mean, not every once every year. and rotors done, like, what, once every year, maybe two years, something like that?
A year?
I mean, not once every year.
Well, it depends on how hard you're slamming on those brakes.
Well, I don't know.
I just guess because I don't get them done that often.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it's not once every year.
His tires are probably bald.
Yeah.
The thing is, my tires are good.
My tires are good.
I mean, for the four years I had it, it's been a great car.
I never had a major problem with it.
Is this the car that you got when we were all still at the Woody show?
Yes.
Or like towards the end and you traded in?
Yeah, I got it.
Did you have some like dumpy truck or something before that?
No, no, no.
So I had the truck, which gave me the nickname Dumbass Tyler.
So we traded that in.
I was borrowing a family friend's minivan for a
week until i could scrimmage up some money or it's enough for a week for a while so i could
scrimmage up some money to get a car myself and then i bought this volkswagen in october of 2019
the van's a car that minutes would always catch you sleeping in right with your mouth wide open
it was called yes it was called the love machine julianne get it right i did not call
that shagging wagon yep anyways um yeah just uh yeah just a quick update yeah a volkswagen or um
anything i mean dumber than a volkswagen has to be if you buy a Jeep. Just FYI.
Jeep brand.
Don't do it.
All right.
Food news.
That sucks because I've always wanted a Jeep Wrangler.
If he doesn't want to continue.
Keep going.
That's the word on me.
Here's the other thing.
Here's the other thing.
Jeep Wranglers are so damn expensive.
So I don't think.
No, don't get me wrong.
They look cool.
They're trash.
Yeah, they do.
They're dope.
Look it up online and I've seen it
for myself when I drove across the
United States. The number one car broken down
on the side of the road was a Jeep Wrangler.
My brother had one. It was trash. The worst.
My brother has a Jeep Durango
and he freaking hates it. Yeah.
Don't do it. Hates it.
Alright, you guys want some food news?
Yes. Yes.
Food news.
Get ready.
Reese's Bundt Cake at Nothing Bundt Cakes.
All in or all out.
What?
Oh, yes. Oh, my God.
And it looks big.
With a nice tall glass of milk?
Yes.
I'd try that.
Nothing Bundt Cakes.
How often do you guys go?
I never go, but they end up at the studio.
I never go, but they're always at parties I'm at.
So I love it.
All right.
And now their food news.
I didn't know this.
I didn't know this.
Maybe, you know, I have my blinders on.
Mountain Dew Baja Blast was only available at Taco Bell.
It was an exclusive.
You can never buy it in store, which I never looked. I didn't
know this. Yeah, standard Baja Blast.
Now available
nationwide.
Are you Baja Blasting? Get me a snow cone
maker. Oh, yes.
I'm day one Baja Blasting
all mother effing day. You're blasting
all over this place. I'm blasting all over
the Rouse, Albertstson Stater Bros.
I see Tyler as a Mountain Dew guy,
like a Code Red type dude.
You know, ironically, Code Red was bad.
I never liked Code Red.
What?
Shut your stupid mouth.
How dare you?
I never liked Code Red.
I'm sorry, but Baja Blast is amazing. Dude, Code Red
effing ruled! And so did Code Red
Diet. Doesn't Code Red just taste like cherry, like
a cherry Slurpee? No, cherry Moundou.
And it ruled! It was great. It was
awesome. I always got the Baja Blast, so
I don't know. Well, they used to have Code Red
at Taco Bell. I remember when I was a wee lad,
I would get it every Friday night with, like, my little kids
meal or whatever, and then, you know, do whatever I was doing on Friday nights. And then randomly at stores I would get it every Friday night with my little kids meal or whatever and then do whatever I was
doing on Friday nights. And then randomly at stores
they would have it and other stores they wouldn't.
And so I've always loved Code Red.
I'm surprised Tyler doesn't like Code Red.
Like of all people. I know.
It was just not my favorite.
Eric, now wasn't Code Red
like a big college thing?
Didn't people in college
like frat dudes get into code red or am i
tripping on that one or was that more of like a gamer thing i think there was a streamer thing
oh okay not really a college thing yeah i knew there was never really a mountain dew person so
i'm out on all this yeah i think the there was a group of people that got really into it and yeah
it was probably gamers i think the the college thing was uh four locos right yeah four locos four locos hit hard yeah is it true that i remember back in the
day they used to say that mountain dew would lower your sperm count how false is that or true
or true checked recently yeah last i checked it's uh been pretty good
and i check it myself.
With a magnifying glass.
He doesn't have a girl to do it.
Julian, there's no scientific proof that exists that validates that.
No?
Tastes fine to me.
Like, where did that come from?
Like, what the hell?
Urban legend or something.
That's such a random thing to start saying.
No, I didn't say...
I didn't know it was sperm count,
but they said it would shrink your
nads when I was in elementary school.
That's what they would say.
I think it had to do something with the sugar content in it.
It was like that and Surge, because Surge had like a bunch of sugar in it.
They said it would like make your little buddies R-word and stuff and cross-eyed.
Sugar thing.
Yeah.
Cross-eyed. Sugar thing. Yeah. Cross-eyed.
Eric, have you tried that thing called pirate water that they're pushing on Barstool?
No, I haven't.
Not yet.
You've heard about it.
I've heard about the high noon stuff.
Yeah, I have heard about it.
I don't know where you can buy it.
I've seen the high noons.
High noons are everywhere now.
They're huge.
But I don't know where pirate water you can get it from.
I love the grapefruit high noon.
Oh, yeah. So good. They have Walmart. Walmart from. I love the grapefruit high noon. Oh yeah.
So good.
Uh,
they have Walmart,
Walmart,
water.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You can buy it.
Singles are in the packs of Walmart.
Nice.
It reminds me of,
uh,
you know,
moving on to Coachella times.
I think,
uh,
what's today?
Uh,
Tuesday when we're recording this,
the Coachella lineup might drop tomorrow.
The rumors,
uh,
from the entertainment blogs are saying
who are they saying they're saying lana del rey tyler the creator and one more other person i
forget um anyways but when i was out in coachella the locals say taylor swift might be doing coachella
or the rolling stones as well yeah so we'll find out tomorrow, I guess. I love me some Lana Del Rey, dude.
Me too.
I mean, I love Lana Del Rey.
I can, I'll just hit her on shuffle.
Lana Del Rey, I went through a spree where I would get really drunk and just listen to
Lana Del Rey for hours.
Oh my God, Eric.
Are you going through some stuff?
This is actually not surprising.
It'd be like two in the morning.
It'd be like two in the morning.
They'd be like, Eric, pick some songs.
And I'd be like drunk at the coffee table.
I'm like, Lana Del Rey.
Bangers.
It's just like Eric's goth phase.
Man, it's the third act you're thinking of is Doja Cat.
Oh, yeah, Doja Cat.
You're right.
And then also they said SZA.
I've never really gotten into SZA, so I don't know.
So before you guys started having babies julianne eric and eric your
your baby is coming may right or april in may yeah and then julianne when's your baby get here
june 21st june so yes before you guys ruined everything i had this idea i had this idea
that i was like oh dude because last year we went to coachella we had an amazing time that I was like, oh, dude, because last year we went to Coachella.
We had an amazing time.
And I was like, I want to do this thing called Epic April when we, you know, do all this stuff again.
But now you guys have babies.
What am I going to do?
You know, I can't have your Eric, your wife out there about to have a baby like hours away from my house.
Hours away.
I mean, no, she needs to go.
In April? Yeah. She'll be good. She'll be fine. baby like hours away from our house hours away i mean no she needs to go in april yeah good
that's fine i'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say leanne would will politely decline an
invite in april that's what i'm saying because how many are count me in i know julianne you're
brother get ready for a month of randy and ty Tyler because it's coming your way. That's pretty epic.
I know Julianne will have a baby at the festival.
She doesn't care.
But Eric, I want to ask you,
I mean, have you guys already thought about,
okay, what hospital you're going to,
or what setting you're going to be doing this in?
I don't know.
Maybe you thought about,
maybe you're a hippie and you're going to have a home birth.
I don't know.
A water baby.
A water baby.
No, nothing. I mean, I know leanne's not that far into that into the weeds with that kind of
stuff but she is very much you know she's pretty hippied out and like as far as i know we're
hospital i don't know about like you know epidurals and like the drugs and stuff when it comes down to
that like whatever she wants goes i'm not pushing out of anything out of me so you know i'm not like
i don't feel a certain way i don't want those details i'm not into it i was just asking location no yeah there's a kaiser there's a kaiser hospital slash um doctor's
office that we've been going to like we're hopefully going to be at our apartment so yeah
eric uh tyler randy you i don't know what you guys are doing in april but it might just be
us guys i know don't forget i'm not. Don't forget. I'm not bringing some pregnant ass chick around.
Come on.
I'm going to Vegas this weekend.
Dude, it's like.
I can do something in April.
What's that movie where the pregnant chicks try to get in the club?
It's Knocked Up.
Craig Robinson's that time.
I was just about to tell you that.
I can't be letting no pregnant bitches in the club.
I will tear that ass up. But I can't let no pregnant bitches in the club. I will tear that ass up.
I can't let no pregnant woman in the club.
When I tell you you're in for the month of your life,
you are in for the month of your life.
Strap in.
Safari boys are bad.
Even though we're just doing whatever you want.
I don't know if you remember,
but when we went to Palm Springs during COVID,
Randy had that random conversation at the Breakfast Tale about ostrich eggs.
You're about to get that times 10, baby.
Menace is going to have half the people, and it's going to cost twice as much with just you two.
Every time we drink, Tyler takes it as a challenge.
He's a frat boy or something, and so he's always pounding vodka Red Bulls.
I try to keep my cool. Tyler's name.
Dude, something's going to happen. Menace is going to end up
donating to six more charities just to
make up for this crap. I know. So I didn't name
names, but I said
that, and you don't have
to confirm it on this podcast because I don't want
to, but there's some people
that I took
to Coachella, and
they use some special platform for handic to Coachella and they use some
special platform for handicapped people
and I shared on the Woody show that I felt
bad that I brought these people along
and I ended up donating money
to the Special Olympics
and I
and
so I
because I was like
some weird karma even though I wasn't involved
in any way I just felt bad because I was the one that took these people to Coachella
and they ended up using that.
So I shared that on the air.
You donate to the Special Olympics, an Olympic for handicapped people.
Right.
Except there was a slight problem because when Menace donated,
he accidentally hit recurring.
So he got charged for it for how many months?
Four months straight. straight oh my god
imagine you take juliet and something happens you feel bad about they're like i guess i'm
donating to pregnant women of america now yeah so the reason i adopt a kid so the reason i came
up is too because i took a rental car and then the rental car that
i was in i i turned it back in and as i was turning back in on the display it had a racial
slur on it and i told the rental car company i said hey um just fyi there's um this word
on the uh dash there you're probably gonna want to get rid of and the the rental car people
freaked out and they discounted like my entire ride right but i'm like this racial slur wasn't
about me they were insistent on giving me this discount so i took the money and i donated it
to the n double acp because i'm like because yeah because i'm like this discount isn't for me.
It was like I felt weird about taking the discount.
So I just took the money and I sent it to the NAACP.
This is the first I'm hearing about this story.
I don't know anybody that would do that.
But I guess I do.
You.
Yeah, I thought it would be weird, Conra, if I just took the discount and be like, all right.
So, yeah.
Menace took some retribution for a certain
group of people and they can't even get any.
I know, right?
That's a good guy.
Let's see what happens in April.
April, baby.
What else am I going to be paying for karma?
I have predictions.
We'll take bets.
Do you know what is also ultra disappointing
about you guys having kids?
Don't worry.
I'll get over this.
As part of the epic April, Eric, and I talk about this every time we go out to the desert.
I'm like, man, I really wish we had pool access, right?
Well, this time around, if the timing's right right there might be pool access too oh again i'm still
free i don't want no pregnant ass bitches up in there i'm going to the pool in vegas this weekend
for a pool party with my pregnant belly out so gross well knowing but it's his luck all of a
sudden your water would break in the pool at Coachella
and it's like, oh, now I gotta get an ambulance
over here. Yeah, ruin my weekend because
I got some pregnancy there.
You might get free stuff because I'm pregnant.
Ask yourself that question, Julian. No. Are you okay
with Tyler delivering your baby? That's
perfectly fine as long as I can go.
It's like third
and fourth one. I love how everybody just assumes
that I'm okay with doing this.
I have FOMO, like mad FOMO.
You can't tell me these things and then expect me not to show up to them.
Get ready because here I come.
See, all I got to do is be like, Leanne, in that book you gave me to read,
it says that it's good for you to have some alone time about a month,
month and a half before the baby.
So it lines up perfectly. Epic April. Need some away time about a month, month and a half before the baby. So it's perfectly epic April.
Need some away time.
I'll take a weekend away.
She'll get in tone with her feelings and the baby.
Yeah, true.
Some bulls**t like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We can print that book for you.
Randy, I'll tell you what.
If you're down, bring the pool doodles.
I'll bring the floaties, okay?
Sounds fair.
Fair is fair.
I was going to say, though.
Just get ready for high picks on our Instagram,

avid listeners of What's New and The Woody Show, if by chance you are a Zin user, that's Z-Y-N, on the back of your Zintan, you'll find a rewards code number.
Please, if you will, take a photo of that and send it to Menace, What's New, or myself.
I'm trying to, full transparency, I'm trying to get enough Zin rewards points to uh reclaim a traeger grill so i need 11 000 hold on i'm not even addicted
nicotine randy is doing zins no i'm not i don't i don't do nicotine i don't do vapes i don't do
zins nothing at all it's just there's points on the back of them and i kept seeing people
throw away the tins so i was was like, well, I mean,
I'll take the points.
I don't want people emailing me zins.
Just have them like, just have them tweet them to you or something.
I don't know.
Send it to,
Hey,
it's Randall on Instagram or Twitter.
Hey,
it's Randall.
The Woody show.
Why don't you just start doing that?
No,
not the Woody show.
What the hell?
You know,
Woody reads those emails.
He'd be like,
what the hell is this Zins crap?
Dude, we're just getting a crap from that.
All of a sudden, he'll walk in here and go, why am I getting this for Randy?
And then I have to deal with that.
I don't need that in my life.
I need you to think about the potential business here, though.
If he gets mad and he says it on the air, everyone will hate send it to you.
Yeah, that will not be on there.
Then we're getting a grill.
Yeah, I don't need to be on his backside.
One of us is getting the grill, all right?
I don't need part of your scheme.
Again, send it to HeyIt'sRandall, and that's it.
Think about Epic April with the Traeger grill menace.
I get it, but I don't want to.
I got things to do.
I'm not like Randy where I'm like joined a, I don't know,
what the hell he does at his house.
When I wheel that bad boy grill in your backyard for mother F and April, we'll be like, dude,
we did this brother.
You know, this reminds me of when for my wedding, Randy wanted to get me a air hockey table that would live here at the studio because he wanted the air hockey table.
Pretty much the same thing for me.
That's a gift for me. That's a gift for you.
No, I think the idea is awesome, but I don't want to be part of it.
That's what I'm saying.
So you just go ahead and have people send crap to you.
So, hey, it's Randall on Instagram and Twitter.
I don't want people emailing us.
Okay.
Okay, it's Julianne.
No, no, I have enough weird messages.
I don't need that.
You can set up to Tyler.
It'll be like a Zin code.
It'll be a Zin code.
And then right below that, can I see your feet, Julianne?
The people hacking Zins are definitely the people asking Julianne's feet pics.
They're definitely the same.
You know, okay.
How about this, Randy?
I'll help you out.
If you send me that code, I'll send a foot picture.
Okay. Guys, we'll do'll help you out. If you send me that code, I'll send a foot picture. Whoa.
Guys, we're going to have to get a Tracys.
We'll do a Tracys.
We'll get a cooler.
But if you get this barbecue or smoker, then I want to be invited in April.
Otherwise, I'm keeping it.
Dude, Randy's doing some dirty bartering right now, man.
Man, let's be flexible here.
Come on, man.
We're all a team, aren't we?
Honestly, I was also kind of inspired by a documentary I saw recently right now, man. Let's be flexible here. Come on, man. We're all a team, aren't we?
Honestly, I was also kind of inspired by a documentary I saw
recently about that one dude that was like
Pepsi did this thing, if you get enough
Pepsi points, you get a jet or something. I was like,
I can be that guy. Which I think that guy did
get ripped off, to be honest.
He definitely did. He definitely did. He got screwed.
He sure got on the jet. But Zen, if they're listening,
I know would never do me dirty
and they would send me that Traeger grill.
So feel free to send me those points.
Tyler, do you have anything else to say?
Yeah, I actually like Randy, but also not like Randy.
Yeah, school.
I do need some help, and that is I'm going to be buying a brand new car in about a month.
Are you going to shout out your GoFundMe username or something?
What the heck's going on here?
I need tips on basically what to say to the dealers, blah, blah, blah.
Like how to get a good deal.
How to negotiate.
Yeah, how to negotiate.
I need negotiating tips.
Well, negotiating tips.
Yeah, if anybody out there is a really good negotiator
or you have tips on what to do when you get to the dealer,
please DM them to me at Heavy T on air
because I generally need this help.
Dude, a car salesman is going to reach out to you
and run you through the road.
Yeah.
Wait.
What kind of car are you looking at? What brand?
I have settled on a car.
I am going after a Kia Forte.
Wait a minute. Eric possibly
might be moving near Tyler
and Tyler might be
getting a Kia and you guys will be Kia bros
and Whittier bros?
Are you best friends?
We'll see. He's still not getting invited to my island.
We will circle around
back to this.
I'll tell you what.
We'll come back
in about a year.
Randy's just left out
on the street.
Hey, brother.
As long as I got my girl,
I'm A-OK.
Julianne,
do you have anything
to say before we leave?
Just that I'm going to be
partying in Vegas this weekend.
I'm going out there Saturday, coming home Monday.
We're going to be partying at the Cosmopolitan
for my friend Pat's birthday.
He's turning 40.
So yeah, Saturday night, we're going to be out there.
And Sunday, we're going to the pool party.
Keep her pregnant.
There are my bikini guards.
Just think about it, menace.
Just think about it, menace.
Julianne could be One of those people
That writes
Baby's first festival
On her belly
At Coachella this year
Walking around with you
Can I ask what a pregnant person
Does in Vegas though
Like do you
Eat
Eat
And eat
I don't get a drink
You're gonna be at Oslo
I know but
Plenty of places to eat
Good spots
Also at the Aria
Right next door.
But I'm just thinking if I'm at it like,
oh, hey, I'm going to Vegas with the boys.
We're going to hit the pool.
And then we look over and this pregnant ass bitch is over there.
I'm only four months, okay?
I sound like I'm ginormous.
It looks like I have what my sister likes to call a slut gut.
You're not sure if it's like...
Oh, yeah, like one of those chicks that...
Yeah, she just drinks constantly.
Yeah, she's just like a hardcore drinker.
Me and Leanne call that, we call it baby or belly.
So we just talk about distance.
Like, what is it?
Is that just a buffet?
Is that the buffet belly or is she pregnant?
Tell her it's a slut gut.
To be fair to Julianne, I mean, if you go to Little Darlings in Vegas,
you probably also will see pregnant people up on stage too.
True, true.
There's more places I just wanted to see pregos.
Tyler just wrote a note down and he's like, Little Darlings.
Little Darlings.
I've heard stories about Little Darlings and that is a place I will not be frequenting.
No, no, no.
You would get robbed.
Yeah. darlings and that is a place I will not be frequenting. No, no, no. You would get robbed. Well, I just wanted to say if you
want any feet pics, you're more than welcome.
If you see me, you can stop me.
I'll put my foot in your picture.
Whatever you want. I got you.
Don't put that out there.
Don't do it.
Look for me. The only thing I would support
is put a Venmo
on your belly or something.
That'd be funny. Great only thing I would support is put a Venmo on your belly or something. Oh, that'd be funny.
Great idea.
I am trying to get a Bob double stroller, and they're 800 bucks, so I could do that.
That's a good idea.
