What's new? What's new with Menace? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Menace. I'm joined by Bortz, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Showboring Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. Hello. He also has his former assistant with us. His name is Eric, a.k.a. E Soundwave on Instagram.

He works for the NFL Podcasting Network that you can pretty much get anywhere. It's kind of a big deal. And then we have Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T, who is coming to us live from Whittier, California. Nobody reps Whittier harder than Tyler. Oh, no. The big Whittier vibes. But we have Eric, of course, you're live from Downey. Everybody knows that. D-Town is what the kids call it, I guess. Well, speaking about D-Town, you weren't with us last podcast. You were at Disneyland. How was that? Oh, it's great, man. I love the mouse. I missed a podcast a month or so ago, I think, right? Same kind of deal. Me and Leanne went to Disneyland, just the two of us. So this one was with my family. So my brother,

his wife, his two kids, my mom, my sister, my sister's friends and their kid and my sister's other friend and her kid. There was 16 people in our group. Different vibe this time around, you know? So it was fun though. I love, I love Disneyland. I love the family time. So it was a blast.

Woody keeps on teasing that there's going to be another Woody Show After Hours Takeover announcement next month. Intriguing. All right. woody show after hours takeover announcement next month oh intriguing oh all right you guys want some what's new pod fun facts about what's new pod yes okay check this out i was looking over in the past 30 days like some of our numbers involving the podcast so i can see where everything is downloaded from how many downloads we get, and all that kind of stuff, right? Now, in the past 30 days, this podcast has been downloaded in every single U.S. state but two states. What?

Can you guess what those two states are? Brett, you go first. I don't know why I'm going to say Delaware. All right. And South Dakota. Okay right. And South Dakota. Okay. Delaware and South Dakota. Eric?

I'm going to go with Iowa and Montana. Iowa and Montana. Tyler? I'm going to go Maine and Tennessee. Maine and Tennessee. The only person that guessed at least one state right was Tyler with Maine. Maine's barely even part of the United States. It's not so far up there.

Maine's basically Canada. Maine's boring as hell. That's like a colonial offshoot that just stayed there for some reason. Hold on. Hold on. It's frozen half the year. Maine got lobsters, though, so I will give them that. They got lobsters. We'll import them.

Yeah, but they don't listen, so screw them. Who cares about them? What do they have that's important? Maine and the other one, I think it's just because of population. Not many people live there. That would be Wyoming. What? That makes sense. Every other state in the country, somebody is downloading this podcast and hearing about

Tyler and his milk mamas. Which is crazy. All right. That means he can have a milk farm in every state. Somebody in North Dakota is sitting here like, dang, yeah, those milk mamas do like Tyler. Yeah, they do. All right. How about this?

Okay. Now, number one, obviously, California, our home state, is the number one state for downloaded podcasts. But can you guess the number two state? Brett, you go first. Oh, man. God, I don't want to say this, but Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania. I'm going to say Missouri.

Missouri. Ooh, I was going to say Missouri. Missouri. Ooh, I was going to say Missouri. I'll go with Nevada. I'll go Nevada. Nevada. The number two state for What's New Pod is North Carolina. Really? This, I do not know how this is possible because the Woody show has never aired in North Carolina.

I don't know what our connection is. I know Ravy has some family there. There's a morning show that we're friends with there, but I do not know how we have this North Carolina connection. But I appreciate you, North Carolina. Thank you. Wasn't Alex Mack living in the Carolinas for a minute? Maybe he was on the streets telling everybody to listen to the podcast. Shout out North Carolina. Wasn't Alex Mack living in the Carolinas for a minute? Maybe he was on the streets telling everybody to listen to the podcast.

Yeah, dude. Maybe he's doing a sponsorship for us and we don't even know it. I'm assuming there's probably a lot of milk mamas in North Carolina. True. They're trying to get at Tyler. That's why they're listening. Well, they're sliding into the wrong DMs, number one. Number two, the only thing I can think of is that i know i'm pretty sure there's like a training military base over there in carolina that's a good

connection because yeah we do have a lot of military listeners that does make a little sense that's the only thing i got that's the only thing i can think of okay followed by missouri after that louisiana arizona south carolina and texas for our top states Texas I could see it's it just kind of fits because I think I remember seeing like the Woody show downloads for Texas were huge yeah massive yeah so it just made kind of sense all right here's the last thing uh and then we'll get off this topic now here are some of the few top international locations for downloading this podcast can you guess other than the united states what is the top country to download what's new pod brad this is even more crazier than the states because it's like people outside of america are listening i know right

it's a lot of places man i'm telling you crazy. Okay. I think I may have remembered seeing a chart once. I'm going to go Brazil. Brazil. All right. Let's go. I'm going to go just our neighbor. Let's go Canada. I was going to go Mexico, but I'll go Canada.

All right. No, screw Canada. I'll go Mexico. Go on Mexico. Sorry, Graham. We were about to shout out Graham there. All right. I'll actually go Canada because I remember, I can't remember what station the Woody show is on,

but I remember it could be picked up in Canada. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So that would make sense is that maybe they heard about the podcast in passing. So that kind of makes sense. Okay.

Well, the number one, Eric is correct with Mexico. Shout out to Mexico. I would like to thank all of our friends and listeners in Southern California that pushed those listeners to Mexico and kept us on the charts.

It's all because of California. Thank you. Followed by Canada. Then you have Germany, Australia, Guatemala, New Zealand, Chile, Japan, and Norway. I mean, the list of countries is super long. Those are just some of the top downloads where there's multiple listeners in a certain area.

Yeah. But that is crazy to think that, yes, people from all over are sitting and listening to this podcast. Thank you so much for that. If you're listening from some far off place, let us know, please. Let us know on our social media. Hit us up at What's New Pod or individually. I'm Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E.

You got St. Porch. You got E Soundwave. And then you got Heavy T on air on Instagram. We would love to hear from you. Are you on air, Tyler? Yes, I am. Yeah. He's right here.

Just making sure. I'm right here. Just making sure. He's wondering, look, does he have to change the name yet again to Heavy T behind the screen? Heavy T, like Typer now? I don't know. I mean, like, okay, so I still do Heavy Typer.

Let's never hear of that one again. Like, I have to do a lot of producing stuff like Tattoo, but I think the hosts bring me on every now and then so i was still on air i think that would dabble you know i think it's yeah i think that will stay my username as long as i'm in the industry i also just realized my name for this podcast is heavy t at home what is that okay so a little behind the scenes when we link up with each other we give each other nicknames on the computer screen that the software that we use to talk to each other and we change the name up every

single week for tyler and eric now and eric oh what's eric having brett has gotten creative today i'm plugless eric because i'm running on um i'm running on actually 19 battery i forgot my charger at work so oh my God, for your laptop? Oh, geez. I got 19%. It should last. I think I was emo Eric one week. Emoto Eric. Senior Eric.

There was a Pokemon one. I forget which one it was. When I was the one behind the board, when Brett, when I was at the Woody show, I was a little more vulgar towards Tyler. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm very well aware. I will not repeat those.

All right. Here's another thing. Eric, so you weren't here on the last podcast, and I brought up that I was going to Las Vegas to do some interviews. I interviewed Chef Bae, who she's awesome. I also interviewed Rome from Sublime with Rome at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. By the way, go to the Wynn. Get their room service,

do a little gambling, check out their awesome restaurants and shopping. But I did ask Tyler, I go, look, Tyler, if I do some sports betting for the weekend, what should I bet on? Now, Tyler, can you recap the bets you told me to take? I told you to take the 49ers money line, the Eagles money line, the Chiefs money line, and for the Bengals to cover the spread. Yes.

He told me to do all that. Now, what did I do? Did I bet? I hope you did it. I didn't have time to go. I'm sorry, man. All four legs of the parlay hit, too. I'm sorry, man.

I just did not have the time to do it. I did not. I mean, I know you're technically in Vegas for work, so it makes sense, but that's frustrating. It sucks. Hopefully, people that were listening to the podcast listened to you and did something. Oh, I'm in mourning right now. I was going to say, man, you can't blame nacho i'm sorry man i'm sorry you know but i would i will tell you something you know tyler has a history

of really botching his pick sometimes so i you know in the back of your mind you're probably like i'm not gonna rush to the sports book and throw my money away you know a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then but this was actually a pretty big but i think it's like falling from the tree that you could have found i think it's probably like the butterfly effect where if i did bet maybe the you know what i'm saying if you actually bet and tyler like somehow maneuvered and i know i'm sorry eric okay well that's why i said pick bangles money line because i knew the game everyone on tv was saying like oh the bills are gonna you know kill the bangles or whatever because the bangles were down three offensive linemen so everyone's saying the bills are gonna win it and i'm like i don't know that one's more of a

toss-up so i felt better about the bangles actually finishing within i think when i told you to bet it the spread was five and a half so i told uh i felt better about them getting within five and a half of the final score than them actually winning it. So that's why I did that one, but still frustrated. All right, Eric. Well, let's just talk about it and get it out of the way then. What's up with your Bills, man? Why can't they just seal the deal?

I know I'm on the Bills. Go Bills. They were smacking. I think they finished season, what, like 13-4, 13-3, something like that. They keep on getting close, but they can't finish can't finish and yeah and they haven't looked good but it's one of those things they're winning you know and then their first round of the playoffs that it kind of was ugly they but they beat the Dolphins and they're like oh third street quarterback whatever you move you succeed and proceed kind of thing so going into that game

I'm like I felt like you know a little nervous about it to be honest because they this this was kind of the rematch from the DeMar Hamlin game. And that DeMar Hamlin game, before DeMar Hamlin went down and the game got suspended, ultimately they didn't play. The Bengals marched down the field against us pretty much untouched. And I felt nervous about that game three or four weeks ago, however long it was ago. So going into this game, I'm like, you know what?

Hopefully DeMar Hamlin was there. They get a little morale boost. It's snowing. It's Buffalo, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let's have a good game at least. And when they were down by 10, it felt like they were down by a hundred. Like it was just not a good game. Josh, they had 11 yards in the first quarter and the Cincinnati Bengals had 10 first downs. I know I'm like X's and O's in it, but it's just like, it was ugly. And on top of that, so I'll give you a little peek into my life at that day. I was flying home from a wedding that day on Sunday to go to work at the NFL, right?

We have a show at Sundays, right? A live show. So I'm flying home from a wedding in Phoenix. Bills are playing. I'm like, crap, I'm going to be landing in LA at 12. The game starts at 12. I'm going to miss the beginning of it. I'm going through TSA in Phoenix and I get

a text at 11 o'clock. My 1145 flight has been rebooked to 530. Now I'm stuck in the airport for seven hours. I watch the Bills get their ass kicked and then I have to rush from LAX to the NFL

building by SoFi and go straight into work. It was a hell of a Sunday. And it was, yeah, the Bills getting their asses beat was a cherry on top of a crap Sunday. Okay. It was bad, dude. Bill's fandom is heartbreak. That's all it is. What do you think about Tyler saying that the Bay is in the building, 49ers all the

way, taking it all? You know, and Tyler could test this, we kind of come to the conclusion, it's like, I would rather the 49ers win out of all the four teams left because Patty Mahomes, ugh.

The Bengals kind of started mouthing off a little bit. There's some Twitter beef going on with all these players, so they can go ahead and kick rocks. I don't want Philly because Philly can,

oh God, that's, it's just going to be a madhouse. It's pick your poison at this point. And I think I would deal less with the 49ers. There's less of them around my life. Like I think 49ers could just like go like, you know what I mean? Like Oakland, Oakland though, but they're not Oakland, but like the Oakland fans in the area, they would just be in my ear.

Yeah. 49ers fans, they're the more respectable I feel like in the Bay area kind of fandom. Yeah. They're the classy fans and then right yeah you know it's like they have the reason they have the history it's like they would have like respectable conversations with me but like so it's like pick your poison i don't if they could all lose it'd be awesome but i mean i'm pulling for the 49ers now oh wow crazy okay. Yeah. I mean, Patrick Mahomes and the Bengals, no way. And then, yeah, Philly can go through rocks at Santa Claus or something. Thank you. All right.

Well, how about this? You guys want to lighten up with some food news? Yes. Food news. About to eat my feelings away. Gatorade debuts first ever energy drink called Fast Twitch with caffeine. Jesus.

That sounds intense. Twitch? Fast Twitch. Why were they branded that way? That just sounds like you're going to be like... I think they're, you know, you know who they're gearing it to. Gamers, of course. Yeah. Good point, good point. Speaking of which, I can't find my G Fuel anywhere and I'm freaking out about it.

Oh, no. So maybe I need to get this fast Twitch. I'll try it. Why not? Do you have a flavor? It's all the flavors. All the Gatorade flavors. Oh, okay.

Yeah. All in, all out. With caffeine. I'm in. I'll try it. Whatever. I'm in. Yeah.

I'll try it. Wow. I'm surprised the football people are not that excited for Gatorade. Well, it's the thing with Gatorade. I love it, but it just doesn't give me any energy. Right. Yeah. I mean, I love a good Gatorade after a game.

I'm not really drinking Gatorade before games for energy. I'm trying to do like the replenish thing. Yeah. It's kind of flipping the script on me a little bit. I see. Yeah. There's only two times I actually really drink Gatorade. Number one is after I work out, which is not that much.

Heck yeah. And number two. I almost fell out of my chair. And number two is when I take a really long road trip. So you haven't drank a Gatorade in like seven years? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I don't even remember what the lemon lime tastes like, okay?

Oh, okay. It tastes like every sick day at home. That's what it tastes like. Oh, that's true. That's another time of year. How about this? Madison Brown Ice Cream, which I have never heard of, and Rihanna team up to make a Neapolitan ice cream for charity.

It supports education and emergency preparedness, and it will be available at Walmart. All in or all out on Neapolitan ice cream brought to you by Rihanna. It's for charity. It's for the cause, yeah. I mean, Neapolitan is one of those ice creams I kind of stumble into having every now and then,

and I'm like, oh, this is kind of nice. Yeah, if you're at a kid's birthday party or something like that. And then they're like, what flavor? I'm like, all three. What the hell are you talking about? Yeah, I you're at a kid's birthday party or something like that. And then they're like, what flavor? I'm like, all three. What the hell are you talking about? Yeah, I want it. I'm trying to look up this ice cream company.

Mass and Brown. I mean, it looks fancy. It does. It looks nice. But I've never heard of it. Yeah, I've never tried it, never heard of it, nothing. But I'm willing to try it right now. I'm in.

Tyler? Honestly, I'll pass. First off, the charity is not the tyler foundation so there's that okay number two number two neapolitan ice cream is one of the most yeah have them kids for the neapolitan ice cream is probably the most overrated ice cream on the face of it it's it's okay but i'll never go out of my way to go buy it. I don't care what the charity is. Like I just don't care. Hold on.

What's your beef with it? I just don't. I mean, it's whatever. It's like, it's literally, it's just like, I'm not,

it's like, yeah, you like, I guarantee it. Somebody likes vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. Guess what? There's three choices right there.

I'd be good for that person. Not for me. Sorry. Wow. Okay. Tyler, then what is your favorite yeah favorite is mitten chip that's that's my what oh i mean i guess oh dude i mean i'll mess with some men chip yeah but come on that was my number one when i was a kid but to talk trash on neapolitan

as being like the most overrated basic bitch and he goes mint chip well come on i mean i didn't say no i didn't say it was the most overrated basic bitch thing he goes, mint chip? What? Come on. I didn't say it was the most overrated basic bitch thing. I'm just saying it's just overrated in general. I like a good Rocky Road, but I'm not lashing out at Neapolitan because of it. Since we're doing the shout out to Moose Tracks, Moose Tracks is awesome. Moose Tracks is bomb. French Silk?

French Silk. Is that a vanilla flavor? I it's a dry i think it's dryers it's like a vanilla base with some like chocolate oh yeah shell in the middle peanut butter cups in it or it might be caramel cups i forget what cups are in it yeah that's a little it's a similar to moose tracks silk yeah yeah it's yeah but i think i think french silk is caramel i think moose tracks is peanut butter cup if i could throw out an ice cream recommendation out there i don't know if they serve it anywhere other than the west coast but the tillamook chocolate peanut butter ice cream ah is one of the best ice creams i've ever had in my entire life chocolate peanut butter is my

favorite i had a ben and jerry's fish food for the first time a couple weeks ago. How was that? That's good. Dude, really good. Really? Really good. Oh yeah. I've never tried it. I mean, I've seen it a billion times, but I have not tried it.

Yeah, same thing. People talk about it. They freak out. I'm like, I know Ben and Jerry's, there's other flavors I could try. But I was at like CVS and I was like, I want some ice cream. And that was all they had. So I was like, I'll take it. Oh yeah.

Really good. Bought it three times since. I want it. I want some Cherry Garcia right now. Damn. Chocolate peanut butter has to be, for me, just straight up store brand. Like chocolate peanut butter. Because you get those big peanut butter chunks stuck together inside there.

Yeah. And you just get like a sleeve of peanut butter. It is so good. You hit a wall of peanut butter. Yeah. Like a dog. And then I'll do 31 flavors. That's the Moose Tracks I like, though.

It's the Ralph's Kroger brand signature select, because you just dig in, and it's just a chunk of solid, like, frozen chocolate in there for no reason. You're like, oh, yeah. Oh, hold on. Shout out to 31 flavors at Baskin Robbins. Yes, of course. All right, but when you go there, do you immediately go ice cream?

Or are you like, I kind of want a milkshake with all this since I'm here anyways. I don't think I've ever gotten a milkshake at 31 Flavors. Bro. I always order my stuff, and then I look up at the menu, and then I'm like, oh, you know what? That looks pretty good. And the next time, it's like, no. And the same thing. It's a never-ending cycle.

I do point out the ice cream cakes. Oh, yeah. I'm like, one day let's just come in and buy a cake and just smash it. Just crush a cake by ourselves. Okay, so we did that. So we did that for one of the guinea pigs' birthdays. So we get them treats for them and stuff. And then Shasta's like, hey, let's get a cake for us, though.

And I'm like, what do you want? She's like, you know, we were at Baskin Robbins recently, and they had a unicorn cake, like ice cream cake. Go get that. Oh, yeah. It was so good. I want it. You have no idea.

Also, milkshakes, Baskin Robbins, get it. All right, I'll try it. Two to three scoops in one. All right, moving on. Budweiser says that you should get a bouquet of beer for your lady, all in or all out. What would happen if you showed up with just a bouquet of Budweiser beer? Would your ladies appreciate it or would they get upset?

I think Spicy Nacho would just kind of like laugh it off. Yeah, Leanne, same thing. Like Leanne would probably laugh. I'm like, what the hell are you doing basically? And then she'd make me go buy stuff to make me gelatas, probably. I'm with it. Shasta would probably say, why'd you get me Bud Light? You should have gotten me Coors Light.

But if we're going to get Bud Light, just take me to the bar so I can get in an ice-cold glass. She's huge on that. Tyler? Yeah, I'd be buying it for myself, and I'd make myself happy. So that's cool. I've learned Bud Light's kind of a tough drink for me now. Really? From my wedding.

I remember I sent you guys out like rundown. I went 235 packs of Bud Light at my wedding, right? So 70 Bud Lights. Damn. I'd say 62 of them came home to my apartment. And I'm just like slowly chipping away. And I have like two or three. And I'm just like, all right, like, that's enough Bud Light for today.

I don't know, man. It's like water. I can pound those things. I feel hungover in the middle of drinking it for some reason. I don't know what it is. I was a Coors Light guy in college when I was drinking the lower kind of beers. Bud Light is just smacking me around a little bit.

I have a 35 rack still sitting in my kitchen right now. Alright, this is where I will recommend. Go the Japanese beer route. Go Asahi or Sapporo. I don't know why. It makes me feel completely good in my stomach. I don't feel weird. It doesn't feel heavy.

It's smooth, and I'm just happy from it. So maybe try that. All right. How about this? Will this feel weird in your stomach the new mound do baja blast hot sauce available at moundu.com only 750 bottles available uh i think we need to find out i love me some mountain baja blast dude yeah i i just go og just og bajaast I mean I'll try it when it was at Taco Bell but not like if I'm out in the wild then I'm buying Mound Dew just the OG Mound Dew oh Baja Blast slushies at Taco Bell are so

good yes you know what's terrible is Diet Mound Dew and Seabass drinks that crap all the time it's so bad I don't mind Diet Mound Dew I enjoy it if I have to have it, if I'm in the mood for Mountain Dew. But that Mountain Dew Zero Cal, Zero Sugar one they put out. I haven't tried that one. Oh, that one's terrible. It's the black cap one. It's disgusting. It's not good?

No, it's not good whatsoever. It has a weird aftertaste. Interesting. It's like they tried to Pepsi Max it, but they didn't do it right. Because Pepsi Max rules. Yeah. All right. Well, I'll put that down on the list.

Moving on to a different subject. Have I been boring you lately with my Instagram stories of me and working on my school projects? I don't know. Eric, have we talked about that? Your little 3D trees you're making? Well, that was my class assignment that I had to make 3D trees, low-res trees. They call them low-poly in the industry. But yeah, I don't know.

I'm not bored with them because I know you on a personal level. I know this is like the first stepping stone to something bigger. So I'm looking past the trees and thinking, okay, what is he up to, basically? So if anything, I'm less bored because my mind starts thinking, what's he making? What's he going to build? Your little cubes spinning and your tree.

What's he up to? What's his end goal here? This is the first domino. What's the end goal? What's the domino that's going to fall and spell out that you don't even realize he's doing yet? I'm not bored with them.

My brain is already turning with so many different ideas on how to utilize all the stuff that I'm learning. If there's anything you do, you're in the long play guy. So it's like this is the first step to something bigger. And I'm like, all right, what is this going to end up being at the end? Yeah, we've seen this happen in real life where we've seen events or different instances happen. And at the end, we're like, oh, this is how this all strung along.

This was Dr. Evil's master plan all along. along okay thing we did a year and a half ago oh that was the first step to getting here yep and now we're here true true tyler i send off a clip of you possibly going back to school are you still interested in doing that if i could hook you up to go yeah i'd still be interested in doing it um i just have to make sure it fits around my work schedule but yeah if it does i'll totally go to school for um video production all that stuff eric is there anything that you want to learn that you feel like oh i i should take a class in this jumping over to the nfl it's done a lot of video production like you know cutting up clips and stuff like that that i've never messed with before on the premiere side of things but what i need to do i'm probably looking into doing the off season because

i just started clicking around with a little bit of free time is photoshop dude can i take it with you that's something that i've never mastered it's probably honestly going to be my goal during the off season in nfl because i opened something like oh yeah dude just like you know make a little inlet thing for these little boxes and i was clicking clicking around. I'm like, yeah, okay, I'll do that. And in my head, I'm like, dude, yeah, do you know how to do that? What the hell are you talking about? So it's like something that I'm probably if within the off season, the NFL, you know, dabble in a little bit more because I've picked up the premier video editing side of everything. It's easy, you know, just, yeah. Cause you did audio editing with video. It's audio with video.

It's audio with video. It's really that I picked up that pretty quickly. Photoshop is something I probably would look into. Definitely. And going and taking a class, it makes you do the work, you know, instead of just saying, and Brett, you've brought this up before and I've tried to do this before. I'm like, oh, I'll teach myself off of YouTube. YouTube is a great tool to get answers, but to have the motivation or the dedication to learn something all the way through on your own is so difficult, especially from

somebody, I'm speaking for myself, that didn't love school. And to give myself my own training, it would take forever or I would never complete it but having a class that you have to be somewhere at a certain time and finish projects it's way better 110 because like you know i'm a stubborn guy you guys know me so i'd rather like you know i'd rather sit there and like try to figure out myself than be like the guy that asks like oh you don't know how to do that and nobody's gonna really say that mean, hopefully they wouldn't. But I'd rather try to figure out myself and be like, okay, I did it versus, hey, can you help me? So it's like, I would sit there and click around, click around,

you know, even when I was learning to do this stuff on Premiere. And I was like, oh, dude, why just click this little dropdown, click that. And it's like, well, damn, I just spent like 30 minutes and it was literally two clicks away. So when you have somebody to teach you, obviously, it makes your life so much easier versus, you know know diving in and just clicking through and clicking through and it's it's especially the fundamentals and where to start that's always my biggest thing is like

where to start and can you tell me what each of these do so i don't have to learn over five i'm still teaching myself on adobe audition things like i didn't know. The version I use, I was like, I could change all these quick keys? Didn't know I could do that. I'm going to change everything. Once you know it, it's in your brain. That's the biggest thing.

You take that first step of asking somebody and then you never have to ask again because it's like riding a bike. It's pretty cliche, but it really is. Once you know how to do something, you do it two or three times and it's literally molded in your brain.

The very first class, Brett, that we took is three hours once a week. The first class was just going through every single bun and what this bun does. Okay. See, I completely love that. I took, when I was was in college one of the 7 000 times i tried to go you know and figure things out i took a bunch of music courses and one of those was recording because i had already worked at recording studios so i'm like let me learn how to produce for bands or let me know how to run giant mackie boards with all stuff right

and i'm literally sitting in the class they're showing us how to wire everything and do patch bays and stuff. And I'm like, cool. So when do you tell us how all these buttons work? He's like, Oh no, no, that's not this class. That's like two classes from now. And I went, uh, just give me the manual man. And I could learn it. But yeah, that's, that's literally a thing, man. And three hour classes, one time a week. Um, that was the majority of the great classes I took in college. They were night classes. You take them for three hours. You get a lot of information.

It actually soaks in. And those are the best classes for me. It's wild what four bass buttons will change your work life. If you just know five of your root keys, it makes your life so much easier it's crazy i know it's nuts all right well moving on to this weekend you guys have any plans i know super bowl is about three weeks away so what do you do in between now and then do you plan anything to go have fun or are you just so work focused yeah so i mean this weekend not so

much i actually have some plans maybe hang out with some friends on saturday but yeah i got work on sunday i have plans to go maybe me and me and the wife the wife guys next weekend next weekend actually maybe do something friday saturday sunday because they have a an off week basically so there's no games sunday and it's the like prep week for super bowl and then the week after that yeah it's all super bowl kind of bared down but so next week i have some plans but this week not so much tyler yeah same saturday i don't think i have anything really planned probably just hang out the house maybe go catch a movie or something like that and then sunday yeah it's championship weekend bro i'm watching football on sunday it's on. Bread? So, I was telling Eric and Randy about this. I'm trying

not to spend money. Dude, I'm kind of with you, man. I'm trying to catch up from the holidays. I went a little too crazy. Yeah, the holidays hit me a little hard, man. I'm like, oh, no, we're going cheap with everybody, but my wife has like 10 siblings and I have

siblings, family, friends, all this stuff. Dude, it adds up. So I'm trying to focus on not spending. And so because of that, I got a Nintendo Switch through points and gift cards and stuff. But I'm like so focused in on Pokemon, Violet and Scarlet. Like I think I may spend most of my weekend doing that, trying to walk. I have model kits that I've had for years to build.

Just anything that's, don't spend money. That's the goal right now. I feel you, man. Dude, coming out of the holidays, me and Leanne, we had a couple birthdays. We had this wedding. The problem with us was we didn't grocery shop very often because we were so busy. And what wrapped us up and what killed us was eating out. All the dinners.

Uber Eats. Oh, my God. Because we didn't go out of town, so we were with our family. And, of course, we were like, oh, we'll cover the dinners. And, dude, it was like two weeks of going out to nice places. Going out, Uber Eats. our fridge has been bare dude and it's like and you get home from work you're like you know let's just you know chipotle let's just sushi you know and just like it adds up and you look at your you look at your pink stain you're like oh my god yeah how much should i spend on food this week you know grocery

one trip you get a couple of the block is hot you know the pope he has the popos roll through my street we're going for that to Portland buyer yeah that's what's killed us man is just eating out and uber eating food dude it's it's insane dude and the false economy of what cost per restaurant now yeah it's like okay I could go to this uh a place that would be 30 normally oh it's 60 you go to a 60-yard place. Oh, it's 90. You go to Taco Bell. You're able to eat like a full stuffed meal at Taco Bell for maybe 20 bucks.

And you're like, that's the cheapest I'm getting. My rationalization has been like, so like I got this Uber Eats membership through work. It's like, but I save $8. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. But it tells you at the end, you save $9 on this Uber Eats order. It's like, yeah, but it costs you $80 for sushi. I know.

Just because you want to sit on your couch. True. That's Shasta's rationale with me every week. Either of your wives do this. Their rationale is you got to spend money to save money. It's like, look, we save money. My mom used to see that with her Kohl's cash. She's like, but I have to spend another 50 to get another 10 off.

Kohl's cash. What a racket. I feel you. I am going to go do something this weekend. Shout out to Morongo Casino. Morongo Casino. They have the Pop 2000 Tour. And our buddies Chris Kirkpatrick is going to be there.

Mark McGrath is going to be there. Nice. You have O-Town. You have LFO, Ryan Cabrera, and it's going to be a good show. I'm going to go, obviously, check out one of their awesome restaurants. They have the Marketplace that rules. Yes. If you go to Morongo, you got to check out the Marketplace.

It was amazing. I don't think I've ever seen Tyler so excited to go get plates of food. I know. Just each stop was like a new intrigue. His brain was firing on all capacitors. He's just like, oh, what's this? Can I get more of that? Oh, you have this too?

Oh. It's unlimited fine dining. It was literally a strategy. He was literally strategizing. He's like, okay, I think I'll go to the Italian first, and then I'll go over to the Chinese section, and then I'll go to the Italian first and then I'll go over to the Chinese section and then I'll go to the sushi then the desserts but then I gotta go back over to the American area

bro I still remember it was the barbecue first and foremost because that's one of my favorites then I'm pretty sure I hit the Italian after I think a piece of sushi may have stuck onto my plate at one point I remember having a chicken and waffle type thing it's so good yeah so check out morongo shout out to the pop 2000

The transformer behind our house had blew. Didn't have air conditioning for three days. So that's something completely different. His car is sweaty, dude.

You can download that either on Android or Apple. And someone asked me recently what show I work on specifically, and I completely realized that I've never mentioned that. So, which is weird. I just never thought about it. So the show I work on specifically where I'm the lead producer is I work on

Better Sports Live with Lisa Ann and Rick Kamla. You can find that Wednesdays, 7 Eastern to 10 Eastern, 4 to 7 Pacific for you West Coast people. And other than that, I'm usually the co-producer on some of the midday shows. They kind of use me here and there. So nothing super set in stone. But yeah, that is the one I usually work on on Wednesday nights. And I also had something else I wanted to say, and now I just completely forgot what it was. So yeah, welcome to the club hosts, not just the chick in that situation.

All right. Yeah. Yeah. But shout out to Lisa and though, because she, she was at Fox sports radio for a minute when me and Eric were in that same building. She was very nice. Yeah.

She is a absolutely wonderful person. Love working with her true professional and really knows her sports stuff. Awesome. Well, that is on the better sports network. That uh b-e-t-t-o-r it is an app you can download for android or apple eric do you have anything to say before we leave yeah let me cap off that shout out because now i read the message darren and nikki banks are the ones who sent the message to my mom and there is a little note here about you, Menace. Oh, really?

Okay. And thanks to Eric and Menace for mentioning Blankets by Tracy on each What's New Pod episode where Menace says, that's T-R-A-C-E-Y. All the best, DB. So shout out to Darren and Nikki Banks. Nice. I think the E is very rare for some reason. I don't know.

All the Tracys, and I've known a lot of tracy's for some reason growing up and the only variation of the the y has been an i like t-r-a-c-i or t-r-a-c-y that is it that's all i've ever known obviously it's my mom so that's the only one i really like sticks in my mind but i've i don't think I know any Tracy's besides my mom. So that's probably why I'm like, when you told me about it, you're like, wait, how did she spell it?

And I was dumbfounded that you were dumbfounded. I'm like, wait, hold on. What's going on here? Shout out to my friend, Tracy Crockett. Hopefully she didn't get involved with any flooding over in Santa Cruz.

I got to hit her up. See if she's okay. All right. I think that's it for the pod this week. Thank you again for listening. Please hit us up on social. Rate and review the podcast. Just go to whatsnewpod.com.

Fun fact, my aunt's name is also spelled with the E-Y, Tracy. No way. Yep. Interesting. I was like, why does this sound so familiar? I've never met one in my life. Yeah. I don't know, man.

I don't know. Maybe it's just a, maybe it's not a Bay thing. It's in Northern California. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Possibly. SoCal, NorCal beef.

Okay, next time you're at a truck stop, look at all the names and see how they spell Tracy. And that will be the true, that'll be the true spelling of Tracy. All right, next time. Well, did you say, did you say you're going to Morongo? Isn't there that technical truck stop right next door? Yes. The travel center rules. What we need is we need Tyler to do another cross-country trip and move.

Yes, and check every single one. See if it changes. Yes, regional. If it happens, I'll be down, number one. And number number two i remember the other i remember the other thing i was gonna say it also has to do with spelling so sometimes i take uh i'll throw show notes in my phone while we're doing this podcast because like i said my show's on wednesday i correctly spelled milwaukee for the first time without having it spell check for me

i am impressed. You've passed the second grade. Yay! All right, fine, Brett. You spell Milwaukee. M-I-L-W-A-U-K. Milwaukee. E-E.

Boom. All right, good job. Good job. Hashtag Milwaukee. I can't screw it up, man. My dad's from that area. Oh, that's right. That's right. What's new?
