Episode Date: August 22, 2024

On this epsiode talked about how We love Costco, Food News, Gaming News & More!

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 aka Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with a weekly show morning show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. We are joined by our friends Eric and Randy who are coming to us live from Downey, California. And just over yonder is usually our boy Tyler, but he is in North Carolina. We'll get to that in a moment. And over in Covina, California, our lovely friend Julianne is here with us. Hi.

And guys, I just want to say thank you to everyone that came out to Murrieta to hang out with myself and Bortz at Raising Canes. We were literally in the middle of nowhere. Oh man, what a drive. Yeah, it was a new development area. So it's not very populated where we're hanging out, but new shopping center. It was really cool. Also a lot of new houses in the area. So a lot of people took a really long drive to come hang out with us. So we really appreciate that. And a lot of Woody Show fans that are from la have moved down there so it was cool to see a lot of transplants down there that still listen to the podcast and actually could still get all 98.7 on

their radios yeah damn you you're not lying that is way out there yeah and seven freeways bro it's like in the middle too like so it's in the middle of the state kind of yeah so it's like an hour from palm springs it's an hour from carlsbad literally in between two freeways it was something man yeah dedicated people coming out to that oh for sure thank you meetups i don't think are gonna happen maybe until october when i'm gonna have my birthday month maybe we'll have a couple things there, but hopefully that's going to be multiple cities. So Las Vegas, Dallas, Orange County, Los Angeles, look out for some meetups in those areas. We did get a lot of requests, by the way, Raising Cane's Compton. Let's go. Look out, Compton.

We're coming for you. They're on Compton. Hell no. A lot of people texting in. A lot of Woody Show listeners say, hey, we hear you're going to Marietta, but we want you in Compton. So I think that's going to be open towards the end of the year. So look out for any updates on that. You think we can convince Eric to come out with us?

Oh, I mean, there's anyone I'd rather have in the heart of L.A. with me. It's Eric. Hell yeah. Yeah, man. And yeah, a lot of love for the What's New Pod crew at all of our meetups. Shout out everybody out on the What's New Pod crew at all of our meetups. Shouting everybody out on the What's New Pod. It's awesome to hear that. But somebody that is not here and who is a topic of conversation right now on the Woody

Show Reddit page is Tyler. And Tyler is in North Carolina because his brother is graduating from boot camp. So he wanted to be there for the graduation. So props to his brother for serving our country. We thank him for that yeah but the topic of conversation on the reddit is guys they say they love the podcast but we're just way too mean on tyler we bully him too much we pick on him and they say that it's a trickle-down effect from the woody show of people getting made fun of on the woody show and now tyler is our little buddy the

person that we beat up unnecessarily on this podcast i wouldn't say unnecessarily yeah that's that's my only hang-up about any of things you said it's not unnecessary it's very easy he brings it on himself and we also throw randy in there here and there too oh yeah randy gets it as well randy is much deserved i think we all get it to a small degree, but if we can actually, Eric, you're the best at this. Tyler,

what is the thing about Tyler that usually devolves into us clamoring on and dogpiling on him? Is it his, what do you say? It's the way the wind is blowing that day and how he usually says one extra thing or something. Yeah. His,

you know, my, my thing with Tyler is, and I've told him this to his face on text, everything, is his tone. On the pod. He replies to things like he should know. It's like, oh, I totally forgot about that.

It's like, no, you didn't know to begin with. You cannot know things, Tyler. Yeah, it's okay. We were very complimentary to him on the last podcast. So that's why I said on the thread on Reddit. I go, you obviously didn't listen to our last episode because we're saying a ton of nice things about Tyler when we're recapping our trip to Oakland.

Yeah, and also if you actually go back throughout the last year, maybe these are new listeners. Maybe they've only listened to a couple episodes. And I have defended Tyler on a lot of the things he's been doing since he moved back from Houston. Okay, he's living at home.

I support him in trying to re-figure out his life. He has a video game addiction. I completely support that. I've actually contributed to that. He has a Lego problem. I support this as well. See, I support him in a lot of different ways. It's just when he goes one step further and completely

steps in it and it splatters all over you that you're like, okay, now I gotta attack you. Now you, Bort, and Julianne were called out the most for the meanest to him on this thread. Yeah. If you like to go defend yourself. That's because Julianne wants to bang him obviously. I mean, 100%

I do and he just won't give me a chance. It's actually frustrating over here. just won't give me a chance. He's actually frustrated over here. For real. Give me some Tyler. But anyway, so Tyler will be back next week on the pod if you're going to miss Tyler. But do you know something that was huge that happened while we're out

in Marietta? Now, Brett and I got there really early, probably an hour and a half early before our event, and we're like, how are we going to kill some time? So we grab something to eat and then i go brett let's go to costco because there was a huge costco right next to the raising canes and brett pretty much said that he hasn't really been inside a costco in the past 20 years yeah go wait hold on yeah you haven't been inside a Costco it's glorious very fleeting to like pick up beer for my wedding but otherwise I have not really been in a Costco since the Phantom Menace came out and the Rock was only a wrestler that was when I was going to a Costco yeah not

really been in one I haven't experienced it I haven't even had food samples from it. I haven't even had the pizza on the outside of it since maybe 1998. Jeez. And here's the thing. I thought you would be a member or like have been in the past 20 years because you love going to malls. You love cruising stores and just seeing things. And this is like one of the ultimate stores just to cruise because they have a lot of things you love. Now, we went inside, and what did they have?

Every electronic you could ever think of. Video game system, Legos, action figures, Pokemon cards, beer of all varied sizes. Oh, my God, they had mini kegs. The mini kegs stopped me for a couple minutes. I mean, they had literally containers of hummus that were two pounds in weight and that menace lost me for a minute he's like where'd you go and i'm literally holding this giant thing of hummus i'm like dude it's six dollars but the thing that really got me i don't know if i'm mowing your lawn right here menace but uh there was a shop vac yes which i was surprised

you were stomped in your tracks over a shop vac, and I'm like, It's $80! Bored! Tripping off a shop vac? I got guineas. There's hay. Now, can you explain a shop vac to people that might not know? I think an industrial vacuum that could suck up everything and anything. It's usually found in, you know, like an industrial shop. We have them here at the radio station. Car washes.

Yeah, car washes. If glass breaks, if you need to suck up dirt, sand, electronic parts and not ruin your vacuum like how most household vacuums would. But the most iconic thing about it, the most important thing, they suck up pet hair like nothing. Nice. And it was $85 for like an industrial one. How? Did you get it? Did you get it?

Yes. He pulled the trigger and he got it and on top of that he became a costco member oh well i need to do that i need to get sucked in man dude this was like a kid at a candy store he was following me around to see my eyes wind up he's like what are you gonna buy what are you gonna buy And we finally got towards the end. I'm like, I think I'm going to go get that shop back. Pulling the trigger on the shop back. I have sub room on that credit card. Let's go get it right now. So then you could buy a coffin from Costco.

Yeah, you can buy all kinds. I heard you could get a kiss coffin. Okay. All kinds. Yes. Yeah. Now, Brett, this was last week. Yeah.

All right. Have you been back to Costco since? Yes. Yes! Yes! But. To buy food? Yes.

You're nice. And it gets worse, though, because when I got home, I showed my wife. I said, I have a surprise. I got us a shop vac so we don't have to constantly declog our own vacuum cleaner of all the hay and all the pet hair and everything. Nice. And I said, we have a Costco membership. And her eyes lit up and she went, we get to go shop at Costco?

I haven't shopped at Costco in over 20 years. Wow. What kind of stuff do they sell? Everything. Everything. So what did we do Friday night? Costco. Nice. Which one did you go to?

I went to the Topanga Mall It's a little smaller But it's connected to the outdoor mall So we got to go to a bookstore We got to walk through the mall Go into the Costco area And it was very nice, very clean And we got there towards closing though

So she wasn't able to get the full broad experience. Yeah. But, man, we went through everything. We went through vitamins. We went through skin care. We went through vegetables. I was in that vegetable freezer for a while, man. Oh, yeah.

He tried to bring me in there. I'm like, dude, I'm allergic to this area. He literally walked out. I'm like, it's cooler. Yeah. There's clothes. Oh, we stopped in the clothes for a while. Yeah, they actually had a clothes area. He literally walked out like it's cooler. Yeah. There's clothes. Oh, we stopped in the clothes for a while.

Yeah, they actually had a while. Cool clothes now. Oh, the Halloween was getting put out. All the Halloween decorations. So we have to go back this week. It's lit. I think I'm going to go

to the Burbank one this week. I can already tell you what one of Brett's future Saturdays is going to be. He's going to go to Lakewood. He's going to go to Lakewood Mall and hit book off. Yeah.

And then walk right across the sidewalk to the Costco right there. And then maybe, depending if the pizza hits right, they're going to hit Hobby Lobby on the way home. They're like 15 feet away from each other. And don't even get me started on Sam's Club.

To become a dual member, I went to Sam's Club after we hung out at Costco and it's even more glorious as well. Oh, well, you know, if I really want to get crazy up in the Santa Clarita area, you know, I go out there for a couple things. There's a

Costco right next to Sam's Club and right next to Walmart. Guys, I don't have the money for this. What am I going to do? I haven't seen a I know there's one in There is one Bell Gardens area, kind of by Downey. But outside of that Sam's Club, I haven't seen one in a long time. The one I go to is in Palm Desert, California. That's my Sam's Club.

You know what this sounds like? Maybe Eric should join us and we can go on a field trip to Sam's Club. We'll get deep in the weeds here the down or the norwalk costco only go for gas lakewood costco that's where you go to shop try to go get gas and it's like glendora costco and that's popping oh there's a sam's club in glendora too uh-huh field trip let's go yeah it's right across the street from the raisin canes but i can go to smart and final and i And I can buy in bulk there. And I don't have to get a pass.

I mean, there's not as many cool things. I get it. I'll give you that. I get it. You don't want to accept how glorious Costco and Sam's Club is. No, I do. I love Costco. You just got to figure out what's the schedule that works for you.

Because I never go when it's overly packed. Do you think I'm going to weigh in those lines? Hell no. Yeah, but now I have like 50 kids. So I don't want to be tugging all these kids around with me and going to costco and having two cars babies at home that's what tyler does he leaves a ball with their baby mamas leave it with their sugar daddy yeah kevin works he'll get home till like eight o'clock at night look you have the big one and then we have sports at night you sure he's working till eight o'clock at night or he just doesn't want to be there well he gets here doesn't want to be here like me no he gets home

by like seven but i still have sports until 8 30 at night so like when am i gonna go i have sports go from 5 to 8 30 so i i literally have no time cheer and softballs taking over my life yeah but the point is going to the costco that's what you make you want the samples yeah oh you know the past few times I've been to Costco, I haven't seen anybody handing out freaking samples. See, you're doing it wrong. You're going at peak times. You're not doing that.

I was literally there an hour and a half before closing. There was free coffee. There was free snacks. There was free skincare. The pizza was still open. We messed up. We didn't get the pizza menace. I was starving.

Oh, damn it. Now, not to be mean to julianne but this sounds like a tyler defense right here this sounds like tyler going oh i don't want to complicate it my mom i don't get it it's like i do my mom and tyler has kids i seriously went to stater brothers the other day for the first time with my kids and i was actually kind of nervous because i felt like i don't know i just hear all these stories in the news and how like women are targeted with their kids and like you know here i am with my three young ones but anyways julianne you're not dumb like those broads this is true i'm pretty smart i am street smart but you outnumber them like three babies and a grown woman should be

able to handle it to milk shooters they're gonna take felicity first well felicity's like trained in uh combat isn't she yeah she is but you know i don't want to put her to the test but anyway so i go to stater brothers i legit have the newborn in the in my cart i have felicity grab her own cart and then she has the toddler in that one. And we're pushing the carts around. I'm like, Oh my God, this is so embarrassing. I know. It was like,

tell that chick to close her legs. I know they're walking by me. They're like, slut. I'm like, I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Tell my husband. And Oh, sorry. Where are you from? Yeah. Talking about, you know, being a slut and a whore and having too many kids.

Kevin is actually, Kevin is getting snipped on Friday. Oh, finally. Jesus. I know. It's too late though. You already had your birthday. Yeah. True.

And I already took a pregnancy test and it's negative. So I'm going to take another one just in case in a few days. And it better come back negative as well. It better. There's that. All right. Tomorrow, I actually leave to Dallas, Texas to go hang out with our affiliate 97.1 The Eagle in Dallas. So if you listen in the Texas area, we are on there.

And we're also on in Austin on 101X. So tune in for that. Make sure you support those stations. But I will be going to the glorious place. Too bad Tyler's not here. I will be going to Bucky's. I will be picking up some Bucky's merch. So I'm very excited for that.

So get ready for some Bucky merch coming at you very, very soon. Now, Eric, will you accept some bucky's merch this time around i mean i would never not accept anything from you minutes okay so i just won't like drool over it like the other two doofuses on this podcast all right hey hey watch your mouth oh yeah no that'd be tweedle d and tweedle dumb i need to be more pointed at uh yeah so i'm to be hitting that up. But another thing I'm super excited about now, this was a trip that I was supposed to take like two weeks ago. But I'm finally going to be able to check out Cosmix, which is McDonald's spinoff.

They're trying to make their own Starbucks. And there's quite a few locations in the Dallas area. So I can't wait to check that out. And then, of course, our friends at Cosm. I've talked about it for months and months and months, almost a year on this podcast. It is basically like the Las Vegas sphere, but you can watch sporting events

where you feel like you're sitting like ringside or courtside for games. It's absolutely mind-blowing, and they are opening up Cosm in Dallas this month. So that's absolutely huge. And if you really want to check all the boxes, if you're there on Saturday, Chargers Cowboys in Dallas. I know. I want to stay, but I have to be back here for it.

Shout out to our buddy Rich, though, that will be there. I know. Rich will be there. Oh, I love him. Now, Julianne, do you want to remind me? And I'm going to get some Bucky's gear, right? I'll get some for you as well and some of your children. But do you know there's some other merch that I got for you?

And you've yet to remind me to bring it to you because it's been sitting at my house for a couple months. You know what? I have been thinking about it. And every time I talk to you or when I've seen you, I forgot to bring it up. But yes, Hooters, right? Yes. Julianne had me buy her a Hooters outfit. Oh, my God. A full one. Was that when Half-Baked was here? Yes. Ohoters, right? Yes. Julianne had me buy her a Hooters outfit. Oh, my God.

A full one. Was that when Half-Baked was here? Yes. Oh, God. That's forever ago. Forever ago. And it's been sitting at my house. Yes. So make sure. When are we going to make this happen? Well, when I drop off the Bucky's gear.

I'll bring the Hooters gear as well. No, make sure you don't get it mixed up with the children's gear when I give it to them. Also, make sure Kevin snipped by then too. He will be. We don't need baby number seven. Come over after Friday. Oh, God. It could be twins next

time. Stop. But Eric, speaking of football, I'm so happy football's here. Do you know why? Because I'm already over all the political stuff, guys. Like on television, I know they have all these different conferences that are going on, but it's nonstop political garbage.

And the only thing that can be bigger than that is good old American football, guys. It has been nice. I know me and Randy have kind of dreaded it because that means like our lives get absorbed by the NFL until February. But it is nice to see football highlights back in the feed, new things to talk about. It's like every now and then something like, what was it, the Democratic Convention or something,

like something trickles into my feed and I'm like, be gone. I know. Has anything happened that's been exciting? I know it's been preseason, but anything that you've liked so far that's happened? Nothing crazy. I mean, Caleb Williams looks good. He's the number one overall pick.

He's playing for the Bears, so Chicago might actually be noteworthy this year. Big thing in LA is both the quarterbacks were back on the field this week. Matt Stafford had like a, I forget what, something wrong with one of his legs, but he was back. Justin Herbert back on the field after dealing with a plantar fasciitis problem last couple weeks what's up with all these leg issues with all these quarterbacks stafford is a little more serious because he's a little older but herbert you know his problem is he needs to stay healthy throughout the season yeah but yeah and the bills are back you know josh allen's rocking a mustache that's always cool having a mustache man around noise now switching it up to another sport which is golf now i've been talking

about this a little bit on this podcast that i feel like golf is the new wave for young people just because of all the different things that are happening now actually i am going to dallas because of a golf thing that we're working on but check this out just in vegas alone another announcement okay so first you've had Topgolf in Vegas, on top of all the regular golf that they've been known for, like at the Wynn and all these huge golf courses. Then you had Atomic Golf, which is another style of Topgolf. Then you had Pop Stroke, which is a mini golf course

that Tiger Woods has invested in and is opening locations all over. Now one more in Vegas, 40,000 square foot indoor mini golf course at Mandalay Bay. That's going to have multiple bars, eateries, carnival arcade games, and so much more. And it's going to be set like it's the English countryside. Nice. Are you with me or am i tripping that golf is like kind of taking off it's it's like that explosion of dave and busters that we had like 10 or so years ago where it's like all right how are we going to cater to all these kids that are turning 21 and have money for the first time it's like oh we'll just put a bar in an arcade

now it's like dude how long have we been trying to get a putt-putt game set up between us? Yes, a long time. Adults love it. Me and Leanne have gone on several dates as 20-something-year-olds. And now it's like, all right, throw a bar in, put more money out of them. It'd be fun. Yeah, we've been trying to do one for about, I don't know, a year now.

And there's one, it's called Boomers, right, in Downey? Is that Downey? No, Downey is Golf and Stuff. They're actually by the Norwalk Costco off the 605. Oh, damn. We can go to Costco and mini golf? Oh, yeah. Let's go.

Let's go. Brett's here for it. Brett, the one in Upland that used to be called Bullwinkles, then it changed to Boomers. Yes, Bullwinkles. Yes, it got changed back to Bullwinkles recently. I don't know if it's open yet, but from what I heard,

they were changing it back to Bullwinkle. You know what that sounds like? We can go to Bullwinkles, and then we can go to Sam's Club for that tour, too. I am a Sam's Club Plus member. What? What does that even mean? I have the black card.

What does that do? I don't know, but I have it. I think you get free delivery. Oh, do you know what the difference is, though? Which is pretty... Oops. Okay, Tyler. I've never heard that before.

Yeah, which is pretty awesome. This is how... This is how excited he was. This is how cool I think he is. Walking through Costco with me. That was literally his expression, like the happiness in his face. At Sam's Club, what's pretty sick is, and I think maybe they're bringing this to Costco,

but at Sam's Club, while you're putting everything in the basket, you can scan it with their app and then pretty much just pay for it on the app and not have to wait in line. You just show them your app on the way out and they scan it and you're good to go. That's Julianne's dream.

Right, Julianne? She let her go. Yeah. Yeah. no yeah yeah i know i love it yeah it's pretty cool all right uh since we're kind of in the food realm you want some food news oh yeah i was doing some listener research actually about the dallas area you know what people are into I typed in the word bar and I took some listener information and I cross-referenced it. And guess what popped up? Our good friends at Lazy Dog restaurants. Of course. And you know what it tells me? I think people are actually searching to see if Lazy Dog has a bar that they can go to

to like watch games or have a happy hour. And they might not just be aware of it because again like lazy dog's opening more and more locations in texas right but guys lazy dog restaurant has a full bar that's pretty freaking awesome oh we've been to one you and me artesia the artesia location that one's really good the bar location at downy's awesome you can find eric there most fr. Yeah. The Santa Clarita location. I know they have a great bar there, but yeah, it's not just a sit down restaurant. They do have a full bar they can hang out at. They have TVs. Usually the one in Downey has the Dodger

games on. So shout out to our friends at Lazy Dog. Make sure you check them out if you're looking for a bar to go hang out at. And don't forget that LA Live location. That would be a great one to go to before you see a game or see a concert. And don't forget their beer club. Oh, yes, the beer club. In other food news, I know we talked about it already, but anyone else anticipating or waiting, keep on looking at the shelves,

looking at their watches, looking it up online for the new Coca-Cola Oreos. Anybody? No, but I am in, all in on that. I want it. I need it. I love me some Oreos. Oh, yeah.

Do you ever put them in the freezer and then eat them ice cold? No. Oh, my God. I do that with the Thin Mints, with Girl Scout cookies. That too. Yes, yes, yes. Oreos too. Now I want to go buy some the coca-cola oreos don't come out until the first week of september so i just i don't know i keep on like hoping like maybe somebody dropped them early but no no dice i'm so used to hearing

tyler foodgasm not julianne i know you, I'm not really into sweets, but Oreos. Oh my God. I just, I love them. And the, all, all flavors, like the, what's the, the, no, the lemon ones. Oh my gosh. So good. Now this part of the confetti, the Oreo Coke thing, you might not be down for it. It's they're going to have Oreo Coke Zero flavor,

so we'll find out what that tastes like. But at the end of the month, they're Oreo Coke Slurpee available at 7-Eleven. Yes! So look out for that. That'll be fun. I need that. I also need the Oreo Coke Oreos

thrown into the Oreo Coke Slushie Slurpee from 7-Eleven. Yeah. I haven't ate breakfast today. I'm starving. Oh, no. I'm making it worse. Here's another odd mashup. Cinnabon is doing Cinnabons that are mashed up with Warheads.

So they look like bright blue Cinnabons, like Warhead sprinkles all over it. All in or all out? Yes, all in. That is the best part about going to the mall. I live right by the Montclair Mall, and just walking through it and smelling the Cinnabon store, oh my God, so good too. And Warhead, I love it.

Available in blue raspberry, green apple, and watermelon Warheads. I'll skip on this one. Sprinkled on top of the iconic Cinnabon rolls. Yeah, like I could do Sour Patch, but Warheads, no. I like the Sour Patch Ghosts. Oh yeah, that's my favorite.

I don't know what that is. But I got the Warhead Ghosts before. No, I can't do it. It just brought back grade school and accidentally eaten too many of those. When you say Ghosts, are you meaning like the Airhead Ghosts where it's like the white one? No, the energy drink ghost. Yeah, they have different flavors. They have, you know, sour patch ones.

They have airhead ones, Swedish fish ones. Cherry limeade was one of my favorite. They have EDC inspired ones now. That one tastes like a kamikaze if you ever had those drinks. Kamikaze at the bar. It's so good. Yeah. Alright, well that was all the food news that i had but one other thing that's happening

that just another reason brett needs to go to japan opening october 2nd in kyoto japan the nintendo museum hold on more air hordes. The Nintendo Museum. With a bunch of interactive exhibits, including your chance to play classic Nintendo games on giant controllers. You can find out more information by going to the museum website. I can't think of anything more exciting than somehow getting on a cruise ship. I've looked this up, by the way. It's like a 26-day cruise to get to Japan, right?

You don't want to fly? No, I want to take a cruise ship. I've looked this up, by the way. It's like a 26-day cruise to get to Japan. Wow. You don't want to fly? No, I want to take a cruise because I want to be gone for a long time on vacation. Do they really have a cruise like that? Oh, they do. They have multiples. That's awesome. I think the shortest one was like 17 days. Nice. Oh, they're hauling ass. Oh, yeah. I was looking.

They stop very quickly. There's like a 20-something day cruise. Go Japan. It goes to all the major cities. Rip! Dude, go into the Nintendo Museum. Go in and watch some New Japan Pro Wrestling like your friend Anthony did. Yeah.

Go into all the video game stores, all the anime stores. There's like Pokemon parks in the middle of nowhere. Don't talk about it. Be about it. They have excellent travel deals at Costco, by the way. Okay. So we booked our honeymoon to Hawaii. Super easy.

You just give them the card. Everything's booked for you, basically. My mom booked my honeymoon there, too. She paid for it. So she went to Costco and did it. A ton of Mexico trips through them. You know what Menace did? So this is how giddy he was.

I'm using the term giddy because he was so excited. I'm literally signing up for a Costco card. I'm doing the picture and everything. Metis disappears. He's like, I'll be right back. Comes back with a bag of every brochure that Costco has available and every discount or deal and everything that you can get with Costco. He's like, here you go.

Here you go. It's bag full. It's all about solar power, AC unit, and some travel info. Oh, and by the way, a coffin if you need one. If you want to build a house, we have deals on that. Here you go. So one last thing about gaming. Now, apparently, they say that everybody's sleeping on Xbox Cloud.

Have you heard about this? So you basically get almost like an Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku stick, and you plug it in the back of your tv and you get a controller and you can just play xbox games over the internet without having a full console interesting i looked it up it looks awesome but it does not have all the games on there i typed i was like oh i'm buying this instantly i searched because their websites online it's like i think it's called xbox uh cloud beta or something like that and i did the search and i searched tony hawk tony hawk not available so i'm like oh not getting it just yet it sounds like those games i don't know growing up you probably probably remember it's like you would buy a controller

went directly into like the red yellow white plugs and it had like 700 of these old knockoff or 64 Nintendo games. I know. The bootleg stuff that you would buy at the swap meet. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It kind of reminds me of the... Dig Dug. It was like Dig Dom or something like that. The Super Plumber Bros. Yeah. Speedy the Hedgehog. I know Soldier Boy

was selling those units and he got in trouble for like copyright stuff. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause usually they could get like one licensed game maybe and then the rest are pretty obvious bootlegs on there by accident that's pretty cool man because if you can have streaming games on a system anywhere you go you can have mobile games do it i think the nintendo switch has done it the best by having if you have a nintendo online subscription you can download virtual consoles for the original nintendo super nintendo n64 game boys and then you can download the games in there and play them wherever you want. So it looks like you just need a Game Pass subscription and a controller and then this whatever this stick is that you get and then you need a certain type of TV or iPhone.

It says iPhone, iPad, MacBook. So people are going with a USB port, I guess. I haven't looked totally into it more because, again, it didn't have the game that I wanted, but people are raving about it. So check it out. Xbox Cloud. You know what does have Tony Hawk? Switch.

Switch? Yeah. I downloaded the three-pack, yeah. Hold on. What? Uh-huh. You know who has it on Nintendo Switch? I do.

Is it Blue Lug or Official? No, it's Official. No way. Do you remember the one that we played on xbox at the hotel sam maca same one yeah but i thought that was like a non-nintendo game well no i mean it was still published through acclaim so what they did was they put it out for xbox and playstation first and then they did it for switch so now nintendo has it oh hell yes all right, I know where I'm going after work. Best buy. Eric, we'll see you on Tony Hawk later.

Okay. Or go to Costco. Okay. So we've got to wrap up this podcast. You know, two of the people on this podcast today have children. That would be Eric and Julianne. They've got to take care of them. Not Tyler.

It is still open during constructions, but some of the cool things that are going to be happening there for attractions, they're going to have laser tag bumper cars like they use. Virtual reality, which is new. Escape rooms at Bullwinkle's. I've never heard of that that's awesome and then a ton of arcade games which obviously you love but this is going to be way better than any bullwinkles we've ever been to growing up i drive by that construction like all the time and they're always working on it so hopefully you guys have done an escape room yeah kind of boring to me i don't like it i think they're fun i just don't get the like idea i'll be in this room it's like all right

well just let me out yeah i just don't get the, like, I'll be in this room and say, all right, well, just let me out. Yeah. Me too. I just don't get the idea of it. It's like, okay, find clues. Like, just tell me. No, it's cool. Well, I don't use my brain as often as you guys do, so it's kind of fun to, like, think your way out of something.

I do that every day. Oh, yeah. And one last thing. They're going to have bowling with 18 lanes. So. Nice. That's new, too. Yeah.

Bowling and laser tag. They got me at laser tag. I'm not going to lie. Nice laser tag. I know where we're going. Brett, do you have anything to say before we leave? Yeah, real fast. Actually, two quick things.

One is, do you really think that Tyler went for his brother's graduation? Or are we going to have to do the same thing we did with Randy and search down if there's any pictures of this? I think he's there. I don't see him posting at all. Maybe he's not allowed to. There'll be a mom pic from his mom's Facebook will leak into one of our feeds.

I'm trying to be Tyler in his black shirt and a chain. With his menace stance, because he likes to copy everything menace does. He's like, I look like I'm from the Sopranos. I forgot what his eating highlights were going to be while he was out there. He'll recap it when he gets back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can't wait for that at this point.

And the other thing is, it's very important to me, September 21st is a Saturday. Next month, my friends at Hyena are putting on the Hyena Horror Market. It is a horror market. You want to buy some horror posters, horror movies, meet some people from horror movies as well or anything horror horror action figures it's happening at the mayflower club in north hollywood from 10 to 3 p.m it's free admission come hang out this uh hyena means a lot to me it's an art gallery uh the owner there has been a friend for a long time has helped me out many many times in my past why i needed it and And I'm going to be there all day. So if you want to come say hi to me or come buy some horror merch, again, that is September 21st,

Saturday at the Mayflower Club in North Hollywood, all posted on my social media. And thank you for letting me say that. Nice. Eric, anything to say before we leave? The best Oreo flavor is the chocolate peanut butter pie.

Ooh. Lost me at peanut butter. I love some good peanut butter. Smother me in it. That was the most Tyler thing said today. Yeah, it was. Smother me in it. Again, thank you.

We'll get into it more when Tyler's back. But we did have a couple of people, and keep on writing if you want to, that wrote in about Julianne's Mexico video, her milk squirting everywhere.
