What's new, what's new with Menace?
Hey, what's up everybody and welcome to another edition of the What's New Podcast with Menace.
I am Menace, I am joined by Bort, aka Brett.
He is an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show
that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN.
He has an assistant, he goes by Nick Soundwave.
Also, he goes by Eric,
so he changes names throughout this podcast.
So hello, Nick, Eric.
What's up?
We have Tyler, who's also the board operator
for The Woody Show on Alt 98.7
that you can hear in Los Angeles and Orange County.
What is up, Tyler?
What's up?
We have Randy, who works on The woody show and he's a radio
dj himself randy we're very excited to have you here and i'm very excited to have tyler because
we're gonna kick off the show and just say what the hell happened okay so last weekend
last weekend we had an event you might have heard our past couple podcasts or if you listen
to the woody show our all 987, Big Bear Mountain Resort.
And it was brought to you by Jack Daniels Fire.
Hell yeah.
Of course, DC hooked us up with a bunch of gear.
We'll talk about that kind of stuff later.
We're going to be doing the event again on February 15th.
But let me tell you this.
Why can't we just have an event where there's nothing going on between
randy and tyler okay so we get there we're on site we're ready to go we're recording a podcast
you can hear it on our previous podcast feed we get there and we get the call from who was it from
who first well see i reached out because you know me and menace were set up we're recording
we're getting you know we have ready to go we have listeners recording with us we have a bunch
of stuff so i put out a three-way facetime nick soundwave does not answer randy does not answer
tyler answers okay and i say hey man where are you like we're here where the hell are you he says
oh i'm here okay well we're on the deck we're over by you? Like, we're here. Where the hell are you? He says, oh, I'm here.
Okay, well, we're on the deck.
We're over by the Jack Daniels.
We're over, you know, you'll find us.
There's an Alt 98 710.
Oh, wait.
Did you, wait.
Are you guys on Summit Mountain?
What?
No, we're on Big Bear Mountain.
Okay.
Oh.
Okay.
I got to go down the mountain then. All Mountain. Okay. Oh. Okay.
I got to go down the mountain then.
All right.
Then where's Randy?
Well, then I have to call Randy again.
Randy finally answers and says,
Hey, okay, I'm almost there.
I'm going to be there soon.
We're almost up the mountain.
Where are you?
Well, five minutes.
Five minutes.
Randy, okay. Well, we're up on Big Bear Mountain.
Which way are you going?
Don't go to Summit Mountain.
Okay.
I'll be there.
We'll be there soon.
Click.
Wow.
And you know where Randy was?
He was up Summit Mountain too.
What the hell?
Dude.
Dude.
Okay.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We talked about it on the radio.
We talked about it on a previous podcast.
We posted it on social media where we're going to be.
We had giveaways.
We gave away lift tickets to Bear Mountain Resort.
What happened?
Okay, that's the thing.
I typed in on my GPS, Big Bear Mountain Resort, and it took us to Summit.
That's exactly where it took us.
So this is not my fault.
I am not taking any blame for this.
Hold on.
Didn't we type in the same thing, Bort?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we parked in one of the satellite lots.
We parked in the Fox Farm lot because we were told we weren't going to be able to get parking
up by the actual place itself.
So we get there and I find Tyler.
I'm like, all right, Tyler, there's this line for bears.
Should we get in the bear line?
He's like, no, man, Summit.
Summit's the one to go.
I said Summit.
I said what?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hold on, hold on.
No, no.
I trusted Tyler.
I'm like, because, you know, Tyler's always like, hey, come on, Renny, you're dumb.
I'm Tyler.
Oh, okay.
So I'm like, all right, Tyler probably knows where he's going. He's always like hey come on you're dumb I'm Tyler so I'm like alright Tyler probably
knows where he's going he's always talking to Bort
or whatever so I'm not
putting on mute I'm just saying that usually he's
in contact with you he covers himself
before he does stuff so I'm like alright whatever the whole
time I'm cursing up Tyler. Dude why is it a thing?
Every event why is it a thing? You know it wouldn't
make sense to call the guy who's been snowboarding
in Big Bear several times in his life
but ask Tyler.
Just to double check.
He was there in front of me in line.
Also, like, with the lift ticket thing, dude, I just don't understand how Summit crossed
your mind as a possible option.
Like, we've said Bear Mountain.
And Big Bear Mountain.
And unless you've been to Big Bear before, like you guys said you really haven't been,
Snow Summit shouldn't even come across as, an option in your mind like it shouldn't even
register it as a possibility
because Snow Summit never was even mentioned
deep in my gut I was like I should probably
get in the bear line but Tyler
how would Tyler mess this up
I said it again
I'm asking I'm not entirely blaming
him I mean I should have used my better judgment
and got into the goddamn bear bus
but I saw him I'm like used my better job and got into the goddamn bear bus. But I saw him and I'm like, you know what?
He probably knows.
And then halfway through the ride, I'm like, god damn it. He didn't
know. We're going the wrong way. Okay, so like
I said, we got
in the line for Summit because
that is where my GPS originally
took me. Didn't you tell me
also that VD told you that
this is probably the right direction too?
Because I'm pretty sure both of you guys were like Team Summit the whole way.
Because that's what my GPS said.
Okay, hold on.
I'm going by that.
Hold on.
I have my GPS open.
What did you put in exactly?
Now, here's the thing.
What GPS?
What is it?
No.
Are you using MapQuest?
No, I'm using Waze, man.
We used Waze too.
Well, the address. That's what we used. I'm using Waze, man. We used Waze, too.
The address.
I'm literally typing right here.
It says Big Bear Mountain Resort, and the address literally says Summit Boulevard.
That is where it took me.
Okay?
I am not taking the blame for this.
Okay, but then here's the thing.
You get to the area.
There are two separate mountains.
Yes.
Big Bear Mountain Resort and Snow Summit.
So at what point do you hit the Y in the road and think
Hmm let me see
To the left is Big Bear Mountain where we've been talking about all
Week and Snow Summit
Which I'm hearing about for the first time in my life
Let's go to Snow Summit
I did not hit a fork in the road
This is where it told me to go
So I was like okay I'm going
I'm not even going to defend myself
I knew I should have taken the other bus.
You have to get on a tram.
A tram that says a destination.
Okay.
The tram said this line for Snow Summit,
and this line, it said whatever.
It was like Bear Mountain.
No, no, no.
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
No, it did not, dude.
Yes, one said Bear Mountain.
The other one said Snow Summit.
Listen. Yes, listen. No, it did not, dude. Yes, one said Bear Mountain. The other one said Snow Summit. Listen.
Listen.
But because my GPS took me to Snow Summit, I figured that was right.
Oh, my God.
No, there's no fork in the road.
But let me talk about this fork in the road.
That's not a fork in the road.
It's a separate bus line.
It's different.
I'm not even going to defend myself.
I knew I should have taken a goddamn bear train.
Oh, man. But I rode there, and I looked at the sign, and my girlfriend's like, I think we going to defend myself. I knew I should have taken a goddamn bear trip. But I rode there and I looked at the sign
and my girlfriend's like,
I think we have to go bear.
Tyler said summit. How could he mess this up?
Yeah.
We're already annoyed.
Here we go again.
There's another debacle
from Randy and Tyler.
But anyways, we're going to be back on the mountain.
Yes. You guys know where it is.
I know where to go this time.
All right, geez.
Yeah.
My favorite interaction with my text with Randy that day
from Randy, we took the shuttle to summit.
Tyler said, that's the one to take.
I replied, yeah, that's not right.
February 15th.
We're doing it again.
This time we're going to be doing it way big
because we're actually staying at the mountain
and Jack Daniels' fire is going to be flowing.
Please come hang out with us between 1 and 3 p.m.
All you got to do is show up.
It doesn't cost anything to just hang out with us on the deck.
And of course, we're going to have a bunch of giveaways.
Thank you to everybody that came out last time.
We gave out a bunch of tickets.
And if you didn't hear the recording of the last show up on the mountain,
make sure you go listen to our feed.
So after we left the event, we drove straight to the Staples Center,
and we had dinner at Shaquille's.
Well, unfortunately, Nick's sound wave wasn't there.
He had to work.
Yeah, but I did get several pictures, and it all looked very, very appetizing.
Yeah, very, very good.
Awesome.
Should we also bring up how you and I were the only ones on time for that oh yeah we were the only ones on
time as well for that okay so do i need to explain this as well okay yeah let me tell you so yeah
hold on hold on so our event ended on the mountain at 3 p.m and i go okay we have a dinner reservation
for 6 p.m at shaquilleille's Staples Center, LA Live.
We have three hours to get there.
No problem.
Three hours?
We're two hours away.
Right.
And you looked at Tyler and Randy.
You said, you guys are down on the hill.
You guys start now.
Yeah.
Leave early.
We still have a couple things to do.
We got the gear to pack up.
You guys go.
And we left, like, what, 15 minutes after them, right?
Yep.
And then what happened? We waited 35 minutes for a bus waited 35 minutes for a bus to take us back to the parking
lot where we were and then they called us when we were halfway down the mountain right they go hey
where are you guys at and we said oh we're halfway down the mountain oh we're still here at the
parking lot we're we're waiting i go isn't the parking lot like halfway down the mountain. Oh, we're still here at the parking lot. We're waiting.
I go, isn't the parking lot, like, right down the street?
Just walk.
I was like, wait, is it this parking lot?
Go.
It was two and a half miles away.
You would have been there.
I'm just blaming you guys.
So then we continued on to LA Live, right?
Yep.
Don't worry.
These guys are right behind us.
They should be there on time.
We'll all be all good. Yeah.
And then we roll up to LA Live.
Where is everybody? Are they there?
No, they're not there.
You're telling me the people 30
minutes ahead of us got there before us?
Oh my god!
Even if we're
30 minutes ahead, we
still got there, what?
30 minutes before?
That's what happened! So someone with a 30 minute head 30 minutes ahead, we still got there, what, 30 minutes before? Yeah.
So you were 30.
What happened?
What happened?
Hold on.
Hold on.
So someone with a 30-minute head start got there 30 minutes before.
Hold on.
We got there 40 minutes before.
We were there way early.
And if we're 30 minutes ahead, do the math, bro.
You're still there at 6 o'clock.
Yeah.
So did you show up at 6 o'clock?
You weren't there at 6 o'clock.
I did show up at 6 o'clock.
Wait.
You showed up at 6, Ted.
I showed up at 6 o'clock. So a car at 6 Ted. I showed up at 6 o'clock.
You called me and you weren't in the place.
Let me get this straight.
So a car that rolls up at perhaps the busiest part of LA
during a Kobe memorial.
Oh, you mean like we did?
A Kings-Ducks game.
Oh, you mean 40 minutes ahead?
Oh, yeah, because we weren't idiots and we did get on the wrong bus.
Got it.
What the hell are you talking about?
Still late.
What are you talking about?
And we were guests. What are we talking about still late what are you and we were guests
talking and we were guests of shaquille so we had to be there uh team it's a good thing you
guys got there on time yeah yeah thank god sit there and wait for you jack off i'm not taking
the blame for any of this i'm not doing it anyways yes they were late it was very delicious shout
out to shaquille's. Thank you so much.
So the whole reason we were at Shaquille's is because we were going to a Ducks versus Kings game.
And again, Eric, Nick Soundwave, you weren't there.
You're a hardcore Kings fan. The whole reason.
So Greg and I, Gregori and I, we won a contest for Movember. If you go look up Movember, the charity,
and we helped raise the most money here at iHeartRadio in Los Angeles.
So they gave us a suite at the Kings game versus the Ducks,
and the whole reason we got it is because I knew you're all hockey fans,
and Eric wasn't there.
Yeah, it was rough.
It's not my favorite night of the week, that's for sure.
So you missed out on Shaquille's, and you
missed out on... It was all, you know, Saturday night,
day before Super Bowl, can't exactly call
out of sports radio 24 hours
before the Super Bowl, you know, so tough day
for me. But your lady and your sister came by. Yeah,
they still got to go and experience it, and they're
all kind of rough and rowdy like me. I guess my sister
was smacking Randy around a little bit, and she
said it's because I wasn't there, so it's all
in the blood, you know? And I mentioned I like your sister. She's a little bit. She said it's because I wasn't there. It's all in the blood.
I mentioned I like your sister. She's a good person.
We had Randy and Tyler.
They're there.
They get to enjoy it on time.
They're just drinking beers.
We got to meet Tyler's brother. That was fun.
It was really cool. I was really glad that my kid brother
was able to come.
He is one of five brothers.
It was cool having him there. he's the one that I probably
spend the least amount of time with just because our schedules
don't match. So having him
and his friend come out, it was pretty dope. I enjoyed it.
What sucked though is
Randy's team was killing it so he was all there
cocky, Nick Soundwave.
You should have been there to bring him
down. Last time we were at the game together
you were all over Randy.
Yeah, you know, Randy not a lot of things fall in line for Randy in life.
Gotta let him get to the wins when he can.
Especially on a rough Saturday.
Every once in a while, ducks will fly together and do it right.
So if you were listening to the Woody show yesterday, we brought up Dunkaroos are coming back.
I'm very excited.
Shout out to Dunkaroos.
Now, a lot of people on the show in the studio that I was with did not know about Dunkaroos.
Does anybody here know about Dunkaroos?
Yes.
I had to look up the photo, but then I remembered, oh man, those were the Dunkin' Cookies that
you would have like the little like full of cream or like different like confetti flavors.
Yeah, dude.
Like all the rich kids had those at school.
I always wanted them.
They're so nice.
Yeah.
I had to look up the picture too, but when you said the name Dunkaroos,
I'm like, why does that name ring a
bell? And I looked up and I was like, oh yeah, I remember
these. Dunkaroos. Randy?
I remember, I recognize the name, but
very vaguely remember the
thing itself. No clue. No clue on the
Dunkaroos? Nope. It's Dunkaroos,
guys!
We got that. I've never had them before.
I got that part. since we're talking about
food so much i wanted to shout out some food items i was at a super bowl party and i brought
one of my most favorite items that i'm loving uh probably for about a good year now
bitchin sauce guys bitchin sauce all day now i brought this party. No one knew what it was, but I put it on the table,
and a lot of people had hummus and salsa and all that kind of stuff. I put the bitchin' sauce down,
and people were going hammer on it. They're like, what is this? Now, it's available at Whole Foods,
and you can get it at Costco now in giant tubs or variety packs. I'm telling you,
get bitchin' sauce. Now, I want to ask you guys,
is there any food items that you want to shout out?
For me, Taco Bell AM Crunchwrap.
Arguably the greatest thing on the Taco Bell menu.
I'm not even kidding.
I don't think there's a single fast food breakfast item
that's even close to this.
Dude, it's pretty bomb, right?
I love the hash brown crunchiness to it.
I'm not a big fan of the sausage one,
not because of the flavor. I prefer bacon over the sausage. I like the extra crunch crunchiness to it. I'm not a big fan of the sausage one, not because of the flavor.
I prefer bacon over the sausage.
I like the extra crunch.
It's so good.
And then you dip it into some sauce, maybe some Bichon sauce.
There you go.
So freaking good.
And it's like Chipotle sauce that comes in the Crunchwrap itself, too.
Oh, my God.
Dude, you could find that sauce sometimes at different grocery stores.
Really?
I found it at Grocery Outlet.
I found it at 99thy Outlet. Yeah.
I found it at 99 Cent Store.
You remember, Manis?
I was bringing you.
They had all the Taco Bell sauces.
Nice.
They had the little wrapper, but they had Diablo.
They had hot.
Everything.
So damn good.
Tyler.
Shout out to the Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Carl's Jr. slash Hardee's.
Really?
That is my go-to.
That's OG. That's been around forever. I love that thing. I've had it since I was a kid. That is the only thing Really? That is my go-to. That's OG.
That's been around forever.
I love that thing.
I've had it since I was a kid.
That is the only thing.
Apparently you're still having it.
Yeah, I still am.
That is the only thing I will have at Carl's Jr.
That's the only thing I go there for.
Other than that, I could care less about Carl's Jr.,
but the Western Bacon Cheeseburger is the best thing ever.
Perfect blend of just everything.
It's amazing.
Wait, hold on.
How dare you say nothing else on Carl's Jr.
is worth it? They have crisp cut fries.
They have fried zucchini. Onion rings.
The onion rings are delicious.
You think this guy's getting fried zucchini?
The fried zucchini
rules, man. I agree with that.
Maybe you guys need some vegetables in your lives.
The onion ring is a vegetable and it's in the burger.
So, yeah. Suck it.
Alright, Nick's out. I'm going to shout out a brand. I guess we're all jumping off is a vegetable and it's in the burger. So, yeah. Suck it. All right.
Nick's out waves.
I'm going to shout out a brand, I guess,
jumping off of Dunkaroos, Little Debbie's.
Anything that comes in a Little Debbie box, dude.
That was like my snack growing up.
Was it the oatmeal cream pies?
Yes.
Those were like crack to me, dude.
Every day for lunch, man. I had to stop myself from pounding through a whole box.
So good.
Was it the Swiss roll, zebra cakes, nutty bars.
Little Debbie's.
The Christmas trees.
It's my veins.
They make that big brownie.
The Christmas tree ones.
The ones that they have for every single season.
Yeah, right now it's the Valentine hearts.
I almost bought one in town.
I'll probably buy them now today because we're talking about it.
Little Debbie's.
Little Debbie's rolls.
If I ever come down with a case of some health-related disease,
it's probably because I ate way too much Little Debbie's in my life.
There you go.
That's fine.
Now, Bort, what do you got?
All right.
God, I hate agreeing with Tyler on something.
Oh, what?
But you guys know I've been going hard on the Beyond Meat,
the Impossible Burgers.
I've been trying to find the best one.
I've tried Burger King's Impossible.
It's good. Yeah. Shaqu King's Impossible. It's good.
Shaquille's Impossible.
It was good.
Loved it.
Oh, Del Taco.
The Beyond Meat Tacos.
Amazing.
But Carl's Jr. has the Beyond Barbecue Cheeseburger.
It's the Western Cheeseburger, but Beyond Meat.
It effing rules, man.
It's so good.
I think that's the complete opposite of what Tyler said, though.
Like, that won't kill you.
What Tyler eats will.
But you know what?
That's only because Tyler eats six of them in one sitting.
I've also been meaning to try a really good Beyond Burger.
So I might.
Now that they have it in Western bacon form, I might try it.
Dude, it is really, really good.
Like, the Famous Star version is delicious.
Like, me and Menace had tried it before in the office once.
But this one is is
i don't want to pun but beyond amazing like so good so good i'll give it a shot i'll try it out

Yes,
sir.
You do.
Okay.
Randy,
Tyler, Eric, Nick sound wave guys. out on this one but you can chime in if you want yes sir you do okay randy tyler eric nicks down
wave guys your social feeds are trash okay randy you're getting a little bit better tyler you post
like nothing nicks down wave you barely post anything now i'm trying to help everybody in
this room and like do fun things with DC and Jack Daniels fire and all that
kind of stuff. So when people go to your pages, they need to see you like kind of like active
and like doing things. Now, Randy's going to make the millennial argument that I update my Instagram
story. Now I'm going to tell people that are listening right now, young people, if you're
trying to build a brand, the corporate people
that make the decisions on if they're going to spend money with you or not, are not watching
your Instagram story. I'm sorry. They're going to pull up your profile and they're going to see
what you're posting on your profile. So if you're not posting anything on your profile,
then it looks like you're doing nothing. Now, I'm not yelling at you. I'm helping people that
are listening and they're trying to do their own thing just like you guys.
So if I'm having a contest telling people to follow you, like, dude, you guys do cool stuff every day.
Like, Eric sent us a text message of him in the studio watching the Kings game.
Like, people want to see that kind of stuff.
You know, throw that up on your feed.
You guys have nothing to say?
No.
You feel like you're getting yelled at right now?
No, I thought you were going to keep going.
It's like when your parents are off.
I'm sorry. I did see that look
at Eric's face.
I have the same conversations with
people outside this room
when they ask for advice.
If we're going to make this effort to
help everybody's social numbers
get up, I got to get you out there posting.
We text all the time.
You guys are out doing things.
Share that stuff.
Here's a thought.
Oh, here he goes with some dumb ass excuse.
No, no, no.
It's not an excuse.
Actually, now that you're mentioning this, I took a picture.
The picture I posted for me being on Saturdays because guess what, guys?
Yeah, I'm on Saturdays because guess what guys? Yeah, I'm on Saturdays.
The idea I had was because you also showed me this Instagram page called Influencers
in the Wild. Yeah. And I was wondering, do you
ever have that feeling when like you're taking a picture,
a selfie, or you're trying to do something
like you not embarrass it.
You're not embarrassed, but it's just kind of like, all right, let me just try to get
this real fast. You ever had that feeling?
I try to do it super fast. Yeah.
Here's an example where i felt super embarrassed where uh our two-bit circus event i had randy take a photo
for me and like he was drunk or something i was giving him instructions and he was not following
instructions on how to take the photo and so we were there pretty much for like 15 minutes trying
to take one pic that's super embarrassing and that sucks because we're at an event where a lot of people know who we are right you can take those photos
those quick posts super quick yeah you don't have to spend like 10 minutes like people do to take
a photo you know okay all right so what do you think that they need the most help on do you think
it's um just like strictly their instagram feed needs to be updated more? Yeah, just the actual feed itself posts a couple photos here and there of things.
I mean, look at Tyler and Randy.
They went to the snow.
They went to Shaquille's, and they went to the Kings game.
Tyler's Instagram story, one still shot of the Kings game, a wide shot, and that was it.
You guys do radio in Los Angeles.
There's a lot of radio people across the country that look up to you,
and they follow all your social media to see what you're doing.
Dude, we're in Los Angeles.
We should be setting the standard.
I see what you're saying.
Well, now that you told him that's not going to be in his head,
they're like, people look up to me around the country?
No, no, no.
We're going to get a post of him being like, you know what? Working radio isn't going to be in his head. They're like, people look up to me? No, no, no. We're going to get a post of him being like, you know what?
Working radio isn't going to be easy.
Oh, God.
We'll get more of that crap.
It's all my radio followers.
I want you to know.
No, I don't mean to yell at you guys, but I just like.
No, you brought up a really good point.
I just want to step the game up, you know?
Yeah, I was looking at my feed right now, and the last picture I posted was something
of Kobe about a week ago.
And I looked at the picture before that.
It was about six weeks.
I know.
I was like, okay.
Yeah, I really got to update that.
Okay.
Step it up.
If you ever need an excuse to post pictures of you and your girlfriend, there's your excuse,
man.
Yeah.
Start posting.
No, for me, it's like, I think I don't have just the, like, I'll do something and I'm
not aware that, oh, this would be cool to take a picture of, you know?
Or like, this would be cool to like document that I'm doing this or whatever.
So I need to be more aware of that.
I know I was at the game, but I was totally fixated on the game.
I didn't talk to anyone.
I was just watching the game.
And then I don't know, for me personally, when it comes to food pics, I feel like my
food pics, they never really get the reaction that I want them to get.
Well, then also like figure out other things to post.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to just be food.
Yeah.
Sometimes I'll take a picture and I'll be like,
okay, this is going to be cool.
I'm going to post this.
And then I post it,
and it gets nowhere near the interaction I thought I was going to get.
So then in my mind, I'm like,
well, if somebody were to pull my stuff up and be like,
oh, look, he posted something, but it got 150 likes.
What does that say to us?
Well, then delete it if it sucks.
I know.
Well, that's what I do.
I've had the IG for way longer that I've been involved with this show and this podcast.
So it's taken a sec for me to flip on the switch to like the more showing to people
that are following because they're interested versus me just showing stuff to my friends
who are following me since day one kind of thing.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, what's your Instagram name again?
Don't.
You guys.
Dude, menace his eyes, he shot across the room.
He got so good.
Just shout it out, Eric.
Which one?
On Instagram, Eric underscore Roberts.
My real name, crazy, right?
Eric underscore Roberts.
Underscore.
Eric underscore Roberts.
Have you noticed a lot of people have been doing usernames, but with periods now?
I had no idea you could do that.
Yeah, it's trash, dude.
If you could pick a username for right now, Men it's what would it be nick soundwave your contact underscore soundwave
contact in my phone is eric soundwave yeah anyways all right we'll move on um i noticed that
tyler is sick and he might have the coronavirus it's true uh it's true are you great i'm sharing
a mic with him are you guys afraid
of the coronavirus thing at all i tweeted out a live map and i posted on facebook dude the virus
is actually spreading pretty fast and what's insane is it's already killed more people than
sars now are you afraid at all no it's already here where we live no i'm good well well there's
no vaccine nothing well i'm not okay well not to be as, there's no vaccine, nothing. Well, I'm not...
Okay, well...
Not to be as cocky as Tyler is.
I'm not afraid...
Well, the CDC says there's no threat to the public.
It's all basically in China.
I mean, there have been two cases of deaths outside of China.
Yeah.
But you need to put into account, like, these people are old.
People are, you know, they're not up to date with their vaccines.
A lot of different things.
In fact, the CDC came out to say that say that hey guys america uh coronavirus is real but uh get your
vaccines because the leading cause of death and flu season is the flu for americans so there's
still tons of people dropping dead of the flu okay so i wouldn't say coronavirus should be
your top priority but if you look at the the rate of death versus the rate of people getting cured
the rate of people getting cured and healed is much quicker.
All right.
So you don't care that Tyler's sick right now.
No, no.
So here's the other thing you got to look at.
Most of these people.
Sorry.
Okay.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Most of these people that are sick in China.
China literally has a population of over a billion people.
You don't say.
Oh, really?
I have no idea, man.
This is what I'm saying.
So like 30,000 people sick in a country that has more people.
I was making the same argument when I visited Hong Kong when all the protest stuff was going on.
I said, you know, even if 5,000 people were protesting in Hong Kong, I wouldn't even see it because there's so many people there.
I mean, it's what the media does.
They blow it way out of proportion.
They'll be like, oh my god, there's 30,000 people sick and you're sitting there
well, the country has a billion people.
I love that they're super proactive
about it. They're building hospitals
right away. China does not mess around.
They don't play. They lock everything down.
I think they literally built a hospital in like 10 days.
They did. And they're building another one
right now. They do not mess around. They did. And they're building another one right now.
They do not mess around.
They don't play.
They will not let you travel.
They were following people in drones and telling them to go back inside.
Yeah.
It's wild because, I mean, if you think about it, just China, because it's so big, each city has a lot of people in it.
So the rate of people infected is going to be much higher.
But I mean, versus like that, versus here in California, what, we have four people infected now?
Is it two in the Bay and I think two in like Irvine or something? Yeah, but see, just wait until a homeless person gets infected.
That's trouble.
That's what Dr. Drew's been talking about for a really long time.
He said if Skid Row gets a disease, we are
screwed because it will spread like
wildfire. That's how the Black Plague went.
I think I would take some money and go on
a limb and say I don't think someone from Wuhan is going
to wander into Skid Row.
Dude, do you know that
by the Chinese embassy, there's like
hundreds of homeless
people right outside of it.
Educate yourself.
To assume people in the Chinese embassy are sick,
that means they would have had to have gone to China, to Wuhan,
and then back. I'm sure they haven't quarantined here in LA.
Randy has it all figured out, guys.
Come on, Randy knows all, man.
No, but okay. I'm sorry I read the news, guys.
Hold on.
I was saying,
thank goodness you traveled when you traveled to China.
I know.
That would have sucked.
Yeah, they would have you on watch.
Yeah.
Maybe Menace would be in a bubble in the studio.
Menace is literally the person in the zombie apocalypse that gets on the plane before the apocalypse.
I know.
He's like, I made it.
I lucked out on that.
So our next event is February 15th, Big Bear Mountain Resort, 1 to 3 p.m.
But I got word that we are going to have our own house maybe the day before.
Sweet.
And that's going to be a big party house.
Nickstown Wave, are you ready?
I'm mentally preparing.
An overnighter with this group is usually a trouble.
And a sponsored event overnight by something like Jack Daniel's Whiskey is probably just a recipe for disaster.
What could go wrong?
Also, but hey, you guys can't get lost the day before.
I know, right?
Here's the thing.
I totally forgot that February 14th, that Friday where we do have a party house, that is Valentine's Day.
That's right.
Are you guys prepared for that?
Yeah. Valentine's Day? Oh, God. guys prepared for that? Yeah. Valentine's Day?
Oh, God. I bet Tyler rented a horse.
Got like 500 roses.
To be perfectly honest, I don't do
anything for Valentine's Day. Really?
Tyler's one of those. He celebrates
Valentine's Day.
I've never been a huge
fan of it. I've kind of
gotten that from my parents. My parents' idea
of a Valentine's Day date is to go to Costco and have pizza.
Nice!
That just sounds pretty good.
Sam's Club.
This sickness
has gotten them hyper.
Anyways,
I've never
been big on Valentine's Day
without me even asking. VD has come out and said she's not big on valentine's day um without me even asking vidya's come out and said
she's not big on it either so we're not doing all right but you're down to party that night if we
get the i do have a bottle of tennessee whiskey oh wow all right also with a bottle of tequila
if you guys okay all right we're getting drunk do you have any plans board that you can share
are you gonna come to the party house that day I don't know if I'm coming to the party house that day.
I don't know.
It's always up in the air with Bort.
He never wants to give you a solid plan ever.
Nope.
Is it a thing where you never want to be locked down?
Like, hey, okay, I've never asked you ever on anything or go, hey, man, you want to go
here?
I don't know.
Maybe.
And then you finally give me an answer maybe the day before hey that's
not true you once came to me and said hey do you want to take a tour of the simpsons i said sure
let's go right now it's a floor below us one out of one out of a thousand times okay so next time
you're in though right yeah i'm in yeah actually i was kind of ironic i told leanne hey let's have
valentine's day at a jack dans-sponsored Big Bear house,
and it all just worked out.
Yeah, no.
Hell yeah, I'm going to be there.
Coincidence.
All right.
Well, maybe Tyler and Randy will make out at the house.
Maybe.
That'll be fun.
We'll get that for her.
Don't confirm that.
What's wrong with you?
That was new pod on Instagram.
You're so aggressive, Tyler.
I know.
I was at the house yesterday, actually uh board he brought this up
when we were driving back from big bear and we went to shaquille's on time yeah remember that
oh yeah we were talking about like all these movies that came out and some of them i haven't
even seen yet like joker and yesterday i was trying to watch um zombie land double tap yeah
and i i couldn't get the password to work so i was thinking of
like all the movies that i still haven't watched yet that i want to watch and zombie land double
tap and joker are the top of the list i finally got the password i'm gonna watch those today
nice oh what's on your list for uh zombie land double tap is on there joker's on there but
at the top of the list we talked about in the car jane silent
bob strike back reboot still haven't seen it still haven't seen it actually but i bought it the other
day oh sweet it's available now yeah except you me we had this discussion where our significant
others don't necessarily like all the same movies we do so they just kind of stack up yeah like
comic book movies or maybe you know certain
comedies or sci-fi and stuff so i have so many movies man that's just three of like 30 yeah i
need to watch spicy nachos out of town in vegas right now so i'm able to i'm able to get these
movies in tyler uh there's two movies specifically that i haven't seen yet kind of so one of them is
1917 which i definitely haven't seen okay and i really want So one of them is 1917, which I definitely haven't seen.
Oh, okay.
And I really want to see that, especially with my dad.
I think it would be really good.
The second one, then this is where it kind of comes in.
The second one is that movie The Gentleman that has Charlie Hunnam.
All right.
Oh, I know what you're talking about.
It's a new one.
It's a new one.
Yeah.
How'd you kind of see that?
I went to go see it, but I went to go see it last week.
I also had a lot of family stuff I was taking care of
last week.
What is up with your throat, dude?
No, leave me alone!
Oh my god.
We're all infected now.
That's it, boys. We're done.
Coronavirus. Yeah, Randy. This will be the last
What's New podcast. Thanks, Randy.
At this point, I hope we get coronavirus.
Dog, drink some water, man.
Drink some water.
Let's take bets on who's first to drop.
I went to
go see this movie last week. I had a lot
of family stuff to take care of last week. You started coughing in the
theater? I fell asleep in the theater.
Oh my God. I sat through it
for about 15 minutes. It was really entertaining,
but the whole time I was struggling to keep
my eyes open and I passed out. Do you snore,
Tyler? I did not.
Do you? Yes, but then
I did not. How about I say, imagine
paying for a ticket, and there's...
Alright, Randy, what's on your list?
So all the movies you guys mentioned, I've
seen. Watch Joker first, and then
Zombieland, because Joker's going to wear you out.
I think for me, though,
the Fast 9 trailer just came out recently,
and I realized that I have yet to catch up.
I didn't realize that Fast 9 was even coming out.
Stop, dude.
Come on.
No, no, no.
I have yet to catch up with them.
I just hate that series, man.
I feel like, what number are we going to hit?
It's funny, though.
I enjoyed, though, because it's so ridiculous.
I have a question.
That's what I like.
Oh, yeah.
The trailers look so ridiculous.
They're so bonkers. Falling on cars. That's what I like. Oh yeah, the trailers look so ridiculous. They're like
falling on cars in the middle of the air.
Vin Diesel, there's a broken bridge
with a rope. He drives
his car into the rope. The rope wraps
around the tire and he uses it as a swing.
Come on, man. It's badass.
Come on. It's badass. My question is
is The Rock in it? No, not
this one, I think. I think the last one he was in
was Hobbs and Shaw. He splintered off to do Hobbs and Shaw.
I know, but I thought he was going to come back for nine.
I think this one-
There was so much drama.
I think this takes place at the same time as Hobbs and Shaw, so it explains why he's
over here.
And then this one, so they don't have too many wrestlers in it, this one introduces
John Cena into it.
But see, the people behind this franchise, they're smart.
They went from like, oh, guys, people aren't paying to see movies about racing cars.
Let's add some explosions and stuff.
Yeah.
Think about it.
The movies cost like, what, a couple hundred million to make?
They're making a gross of a billion dollars.
These guys were stealing DVD players like eight years ago.
Yeah.
They were stealing DVD players and like.
Now they're like doing diamonds.
Yeah.
Now there's like jets picking them up.
Like I think somebody catches a car in the trailer.
In Hobbs and Shaw, the rock is in the back of a truck, I think,
and he's holding a chain that's connected to a helicopter.
I think he's like pulling it or something.
Dude, we got to watch these movies, man.
He pulled the Captain America.
Oh, that's right.
Exactly.
Why aren't you on board?
I just think you have to embrace it for what it is.
And I think people are are taking it too seriously.
You can't walk into a Fast 9 movie
and be like, that was not realistic at all.
That's where I'm at.
I'm very much like, come on.
I'm the come on guy in a lot of movies.
I'm cool with it getting a little outlandish,
but when I see The Rock
grabbing a torpedo and turning it
so it hits somebody else, come on, man.
Hey, man. Randy, I'm all in. Exactly. It's just a fun time. When you go to see a Fast and turning it so it hits somebody else. Like, come on, man. Hey, man. Randy, I'm all in.
Exactly. It's just a fun time.
When you go to see a Fast and the Furious movie,
you know you're going to have a fun time. That's it.
That's all that really matters. Randy, not only am
I all in, if you want to catch up, I have
the eight previous movies on Blu-ray.
Of course you do. You can borrow it anytime.
I'd like to borrow it.
In our jammies.
Truthfully, I wasn't a big
fan of the first or second one. I watched it. I liked it, but
it just didn't resonate with me. It wasn't until Tokyo
Drift. So the realism is what you
like. I was going to say, the good ones
are like the halfway decent ones that are
basically a fraction of reality.
Ladies, stop yelling. Tokyo Drift
is the best one.
Oh, my God.
The fact that
you said that you cannot borrow the movies anymore. I'm sorry I was six when the first one. Oh, okay, okay. Get out of here. I like the fact that you said that you cannot borrow the movies anymore.
I'm sorry I was six
when the first one came out, guys.
Oh, man.
You have that excuse for everything, man.
That's the only excuse that matters.
Isn't it weird, though,
that the Fast and the Furious franchise
is the only one that does it in reverse?
The horror movies are the best at the first,
and then they get weirder and weirder.
This one, it's like the earliest ones
were the weird ones now, and now you're just like,
oh, yeah. It just ramps up.
You watch the first one, and you're like, wait a second.
The Ejecto Cito, how come
there's no rockets connected to that scene? What's going on here?
Oh, but now I get a Gatling gun attached to this scene.
Yeah, I know. That first one where they cut to the guy
who has a PS2 in his car, and he's playing it,
and back then, you're like, whoa.
I always wanted that,
and I blame Pit My Ride. Pit My Ride would give me these illusions in my head. I'm like, oh, dude always wanted that and i blame pit my ride pit my ride would
give me these like illusions in my head like yeah i need a ps2 in my car i need oh this this shoots
bubbles out of his exhaust yeah i'm down bro the biggest thing they were worried about was
uncovering the seat to uh yeah use the nos you're like oh man you gotta use the dog i heard you
like food so i put a grill in your car oh. Nick Salway, what's on your list?
Right now, the top of my list is Uncut Gems.
I haven't been able to see it yet, and I've heard good things.
And me being a sports guy.
Is it available on any streaming?
I don't think so.
Since it's 824, I'm sure it's a matter of time before it finds somewhere.
Yeah, I think it's coming down the line soon, but I just haven't got to see it.
I actually have been to the theaters a lot for movies, so that's why I miss out on a ton of them.
And I went through a spurt where I saw Knives Out, 1917,
but I never made it back to see Uncut Gems.
Yeah, heaven forbid you watch a Star Wars movie or something.
That movie is intense.
I saw it in Glendale at Studio Movie Grill.
People say it's like anxiety.
Oh, yeah, it's an anxiety attack the entire way through.
But I have to say, quick tip, if you want to see a good movie, good price, really good experience, Studio Movie Grill. Oh, yeah, I've been there a couple times. I love you, yeah. It's an anxiety attack the entire way through. But I have to say, quick tip, if you want to see a good movie, good price, really good experience, Studio Movie Grill.
Oh, yeah.
I've been there a couple times.
I love you, Studio Movie Grill.
Beer, burgers to your seat while you watch the movie.
It's like I could pay $10 for popcorn or I could pay $10 for a pizza.
Hmm.
I wonder what I'll get.
All right, guys.

Before I get out here,
Nick Soundwave,
do you have anything to say?
No, nothing major.
I'm just,
I'm already looking forward
to our next Big Bear trip, man.
I know.
I have just tons of ideas
for an overnight day in the snow that can just get these two in trouble over here.
Dude, I also told you I bought a snow skate.
Dude, there's nothing better than being in a cabin overnight when there's snow on the ground
because there's literally just an endless amount of things you can do,
and then you introduce things like snow skates, and hills become jumps,
and jumps become broken bones and stuff. Tyler?
I can't wait. We gotta get a wheelbarrow
for Tyler just in case he gets injured. Let's just get a giant
inner tube and just put him and push him around.
Yes! We need sleds. We need everything.
I have done inner tubing. It was very fun.
Make sure you follow us at What's New Pod

going to be posting a lot of stuff. Randy,
do you have anything else to say? XFL

I have a great idea.
I want to attach GoPros
to Tyler and Randy the entire
time we're up at Big Bear.
And I want to see who
face plants first. I can confirm
it'll probably be me. Okay, but what about all the mustard and ketchup that's going to drip?
I was going to say, if you want a first row seat to see Tyler eating a burger.
Look, it's not going to be mustard and ketchup.
It's going to be barbecue sauce.
All right, listen to our last podcast.
The ice will clean it off.
The one on the 15th is going to be nuts because we're full on drinking on that one.
Oh, gosh.
We'll see you next week. Bye.
