00:00:10
Speaker 1: They making noise data start up up up, dot Up, Episode two eighty eight. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Hello, Hi, I mean it. I'm brody. He's scary since he's not saying it, I'm scary. That's brody. There you go.

00:00:29
Speaker 3: Hey, speaking of startup startup? Have you seen that new commercial for it's either a bank or a credit card and they're talking about how you can like invest And the guy says it's talking about startups like startup companies, right, and he goes he says, start up startup.

00:00:42
Speaker 1: Oh really, I haven't seen it our show. That's up the audio. Next time I hear it startup startup, I.

00:00:47
Speaker 3: Thought, I thought what they're ripping us off? Did you ever think about doing something different and doing getting, you know, a startup company? Did you ever like have a dream about so I ever think of starting to do do something different? Well that's a question to you're two years later. You ever have a did you ever have a startup? No, a startup company? I had a couple of ideas for a company.

00:01:05
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:01:06
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:01:06
Speaker 3: In fact, a business friend of mine we talked about doing a company together, three of us who write song parodies. We would do custom parodies like, Oh James is getting a confirmation party, Steven Mary get married? Yeah, you know, I would write write a parody about them, which I used to do for the morning show. People used to email in and I would write a song about them.

00:01:30
Speaker 1: So I didn't do it.

00:01:32
Speaker 3: And then last week one of the three of us posted that he started his own company doing custom parodies. Really, yeah, there's a lot of things so he could save money that way. He's got to be a lot of money in that gotta be. I don't know, well, I mean, i'd have to get singers to work with me. He doesn't need to get like he needs to get a female singer, but he does a lot of the male singing vocals.

00:01:51
Speaker 1: I feel like half the work could be covered by AI. At this point.

00:01:54
Speaker 3: You can just like punch in a few items and things and next thing, you know, AI spits out a song for you speaking of a So I sell stuff on eBay. You know that, And about two months ago, you've never listed on eBay. When you list on eBay, you you you You've put like I'm gonna sell something, and it says, what's the title? You put the price? I think, and then you have to write a description. Well, you'd always just like copy the title, put that in a description, and then write a couple more things like you know whatever. Well, now for like a couple of months, now, maybe it's five six months, I don't know. It says, would you like to use AI to write your description? I'm like, OK, use A I write my description to that ship.

00:02:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:02:31
Speaker 3: Well, last night I listed something and I had so one of the it needed a lot of details, so I screenshoted an online posting of this item or just screenshot. I think it's screenshot. I think it's like broadcast and broadcasted. I think both are acceptable, like the past tense at broadcast like oh we did a live broadcast. We broadcast from the from the but people say broadcasted.

00:02:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I took a screen shot.

00:02:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I took a screenshot with all the details around it of this of this object, and I put it in one of the pictures. But I didn't write it out. Well, I say, let me see what the AI is.

00:03:09
Speaker 1: Going to write.

00:03:10
Speaker 3: The AI not only described the item, it put in the measurements that I had written in the description in the in the detail section. It took verbiage from the photograph that had details.

00:03:24
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:03:25
Speaker 3: It grabbed words out of a photo and put them in the AI description of the item. Holy shit, it's the best description for the item I could imagine. That's unbelievable. You know something, I love it or hate it. That's where we're going. That's where we're going with a look. I'm telling you, I was looking. I saw an ad for a editing audio editing and video editing software Revolutionary. I think it was called Describe something like that. I'll look it up anyway. It takes audio and let's say you do a podcast right.

00:04:00
Speaker 1: Like the one we're doing right now right.

00:04:03
Speaker 3: It takes the video, It transcribes the video, finds the perfect spot setting through because of the verbiage, then goes back and edits the video in the perfect spot based on whether you change topic or not, or end of a sentence.

00:04:17
Speaker 1: It knows where to then go back and edit the video. It makes video clips for you.

00:04:22
Speaker 3: It produces the audio for you, so it improves the quality. It does everything that's more human, that's more human than human. Thank you, Ron Tomby exactly. I set you up for that one. Not getting past me on that one. But that is that is definitely some people can't think like that. But I feel like a I can like critically think, they can think like Yes, they can think like out of the box and be creative. Wow, we're in trouble right here in River City, just saying you know we can You know, if you quit the podcast, I can have AI Brody and I bet you I can have like a real lifetime conversation.

00:05:01
Speaker 1: With Magic Snarky. You'd have to input snark. Snark.

00:05:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me a little bit of give me snark, give me some sass, give me some complaining, be salty about everything, about everything.

00:05:13
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny?

00:05:14
Speaker 3: I would program your AI, but I would take out the stuff like the aliens bullshit, I just take that right out.

00:05:19
Speaker 1: Man, you're just not a fan as Garry Jones. No, aliens. Don't get me. Don't get me. I'm telling you.

00:05:25
Speaker 3: People are sending listeners, are slices, are sending me articles about the proof of UFOs and aliens. Now, like it started halfway as a joke and like I somewhat believe it, But the.

00:05:37
Speaker 1: More and more I see out there.

00:05:39
Speaker 3: I don't know, Brodie, when you when you flew to the Muhammas last weekend, were looking out the window for a h we're holding your phone to the window looking for something to fly by. No, the aliens were inside the plane when I was in. That was a great segue. By the way, Oh my god, Uh, you tell what in what world would be fun to fly? Would someone give up their seat for a downgrade? Okay, let me take you to this scenario. I can't I don't even know what you're talking about. I would never give up my seat for a down Well, that's exactly what this bachelorette party decided to do. Three girls dressed in white wearing fucking cowboy hats and one of them said one of them and rhinestones on the front, said bride.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: You know.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: So the bride was there with her two two of the women from her bachelorette party, and they joined I'm sorry what you had a direct flight to the Bahamas. Where are the cowgirls getting on in Jersey?

00:06:39
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:06:40
Speaker 1: Brody?

00:06:41
Speaker 3: Uh, Hello from New York City, New York, New York to New York to the Bahamas like cowboys? Though, No, you said, I'm confused. You just you made sound like it's a rare. It's a rare thing to have a direct flight to the Bahamas. No, I'm saying it seems odd that cowgirls were flying from New York.

00:06:58
Speaker 1: That's all.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: Okay, let's this is about eight to ten direct flights a day from the New York is a major hub to go to the relevant because they were probably flying from somewhere else and they connected in New York from all the parts of the country. You gotta fly through New York or Atlanta. Oh, I didn't get to the Homas Prize, that's all. I'm surprised.

00:07:20
Speaker 1: I thought it's pretty Georgia. I think it's pretty common anyway.

00:07:24
Speaker 3: Uh, they they get on in LaGuardia, the the bride and her two bridesmaids and they get on the plane.

00:07:34
Speaker 1: And now the girls were in.

00:07:38
Speaker 3: We're gonna say the aisle seat and the middle seat, but in the window seat was a woman who would bought that seat, and obviously, and it was an economy plus ticket. It was like a a comfort plus room, a little pay extra for that electra leg room. So that was her seat. But the two the other two seats belonged to two of the three women in the bachelorette party. Okay, where was the third girl? The third girl was in thirty eight F next to the bathroom. So all three of them get on the flight and they approached the woman in the window seat and say, hey, uh, you mind if our third friend sits here and you take her seat. And then the woman was like, away, where's the seat And the girl goes, oh, it's thirty eight F in the back.

00:08:31
Speaker 1: And then the woman looked at her window. It was by the bathroom in the back.

00:08:36
Speaker 3: With no extra legs, or at least the window seat was at like, ah's a fuck. The point is that woman was clearly being downgraded by the bachsorette party, right, So the audacity the balls on these women to think for a second that a woman who paid like thirty three dollars for her sire's gonna go sit by the toilets in the back. Who cares if it's a window or not. You're in the back smelling people's shit. So so the woman who's like a hard pass, you know, so the girl goes to sit. Now, what would have been a smart thing to do would be all three women marched to the back to that grade sea somebody and take the two women sitting next to the bathroom seat and say, look, you want our seats up in you know eleven NF. That would have been the smart move, absolutely well, that would be the second. That would have been the move most likely to succeed. Yeah, they were trying to get over. You don't you're gonna walk on a plane and try and downgrade someone. I mean the two women who were sitting next to or knew they paid more for the seats. Of course, unless they didn't pay for them less someone paid them for the tickets for.

00:09:48
Speaker 1: Them, but doesn't either way.

00:09:49
Speaker 3: Either way, the woman listen, plan better, I'm not moving, plan better?

00:09:54
Speaker 4: You know.

00:09:55
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, you can't sit next to your friend, you know, because your friend it you guys didn't book the you know, the right way or something. The chips didn't fall in line. Oh you remember when we flew to Iceland. I told you about that guy. Uh, he wouldn't move from the window on the right to the window on the left, right so I could sit next to my wife. Exactly, it was the same row. Okay, see that's that's an even thing. That could have been a courtesy call.

00:10:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was being a dick.

00:10:22
Speaker 3: I mean I'd spent two years now roughly, that's what I remember happening.

00:10:26
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be.

00:10:27
Speaker 3: Traded him even for even and now he could have came out smelling like a rose, doing a good favor for somebody in the past.

00:10:35
Speaker 1: I guess he's the right side of the plane. Guy.

00:10:37
Speaker 3: He's got to fly on the right side of the plane otherwise he's gonna crash at him.

00:10:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are.

00:10:42
Speaker 3: But speaking of planes, Uh, did you see the story yesterday about the guy hiding in the bathroom.

00:10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a Delta flight.

00:10:49
Speaker 3: He boarded a flight, he somehow took pictures of people, of people's someone else's boarding boarding pass, got on the flight hiding in the bathroom.

00:10:57
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, how the hell did he think that was gonna for him?

00:11:00
Speaker 3: Did he really think he was gonna find his like a random seat on the plane and they didn't working the ticket. Maybe if the plates the plane's not folded, be an empty seat, but he was just gonna take the seat. Yeah, he was waiting around for like what he should have done. Once he took a picture of somebody else's boarding pass, is then looked on the flight to try to book a ticket or go up to the counter and say, there any seats left on this flight?

00:11:23
Speaker 1: Oh? Nine b nah, change my mind? Well, yeah, that was dumb. Well was he a stowaway?

00:11:31
Speaker 4: Right?

00:11:31
Speaker 1: Did he? But he didn't? Did he? Get no? They caught him. They caught him before they closed the cabin doors.

00:11:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how First of all, how dumb do you have to be to leave your boarding pass out? Well, not like it's someone take a picture of it, but a straight on picture so it looks like the boarding pass on your phone.

00:11:47
Speaker 4: Ridiculous?

00:11:48
Speaker 3: And how bad is security that a photograph of a boarding pass works?

00:11:52
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, there's no hologram.

00:11:54
Speaker 3: There's there's nothing to like prevent that, at least with ticket bastard Ticketmaster. Yeah, I get the thing going back and forth on the slides, back and forth. It's like it's a it's like a kind of a uh what is it? A moving a moving image?

00:12:08
Speaker 4: Right?

00:12:08
Speaker 3: You can't you can't screenshot, you can't tickets anymore. Right, But getting on an airplane apparently not as secure as sneaking in the seat. Taylor Swift and at Madison Square Garden, I got more on airline hijinks. Oh right up, come after this. Yeah, oh all right, but only if you want to hear them. Oh, of course I do them on the edge of my.

00:12:29
Speaker 1: Scary and Brody.

00:12:31
Speaker 3: So, something happened to me at the airport that I know drives you fucking nuts. I thought of you the whole time. Ah, and I was flying with Gandhi and Nate to the Bahamas in case you were not up to speed. Uh And I mean what I mentioned before, Yeah, you had a direct flight to the Bahamas. Yeah, but I was playing with Gandhi and Nate for the big show. Gandhi said, that's perfect for your Booking Boys podcast. She was all right, David Brody, because I was complaining about something and that was clearly something that you.

00:13:00
Speaker 1: Would complain about and have complained about. Oh I have okay, all right. Yeah.

00:13:05
Speaker 3: So we're standing in line for customer service to to go to uh Gandi had to check in or something like that to show a passport.

00:13:13
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it online.

00:13:15
Speaker 3: So we're standing there at the counter waiting for them to call our name, and the woman goes.

00:13:22
Speaker 1: Following.

00:13:24
Speaker 3: Now, remember, David Brody, when you were at CVS or one of those Walgreens in War Times square one of those Yeah, when the lady behind the counter said, can I help the following person? And I thought she was going to read a listen as a listen the following person like an Phil Joe Tommy. Could I have to find person colon waiting waiting?

00:13:48
Speaker 1: This woman? This woman?

00:13:50
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess just pure laziness, forgot the whole forgot the whole phrase, or didn't even bother and just goes following. Just is the word following? Is that supposed to be less rude than saying next? Because next, actually next says something. Next is an action like who decided next is rude?

00:14:11
Speaker 1: Next?

00:14:11
Speaker 3: Next is not rude, But I'm excited to you Next It means I'm ready, I'm going next.

00:14:17
Speaker 1: Next.

00:14:17
Speaker 3: I mag if someone says next, you're like, I'm offended by next. I'm not stepping up, no following up, no following, So as in can I help the following person?

00:14:25
Speaker 1: But shortened to following? So I'm sitting not following anybody.

00:14:30
Speaker 3: So I I after we got through it them, I were walking toward the gate and I told Gandhi, I'm like, that's so wrong. I'm like following first of all, it doesn't mean it doesn't even mean anything when you say can help the following person, let alone the fact that she just said the word following, just arbitrarily without any other context behind it, and find it or you was saying following.

00:14:54
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what, am I am I being followed?

00:14:56
Speaker 4: What?

00:14:56
Speaker 1: I started looking around? Am I following? Following? Who following me? Following me? On Instagram?

00:15:01
Speaker 3: Following following consecutive consecutive, consecutive, weird, the weird, and this is you know, anyway, I thought you'd get a kick out of it, Brody, because it's terrible. Some people somebody told her to say that. Gandhi fought me on it. You know, I would have stood there and waited. I would call her. I would call her, but she's got no voice right now. She wasn't on the show. But she said, well, sometimes that's like a cultural thing where some you know, culture, Oh that maybe like in certain cultures, maybe that's how you that's how you phrase it.

00:15:36
Speaker 1: In Papua New Guinea, what were we talking about?

00:15:38
Speaker 3: He was defending the woman, and I'm like, Gandhi, I'm like, I'm like, somewhere in the handbook of Delta airlines.

00:15:47
Speaker 1: They fucking told this woman to say it that way.

00:15:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's okay, like, because you know, things are very meticulous and methodical when it comes to.

00:15:56
Speaker 1: The next guest, may help the next guest is right.

00:15:57
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is that's in the company hand book for the syntax following. So did someone in the company handbook say stalking you know what when you help the next person just say following? Or did this woman take it upon herself? What if he was stalking the person in front of you? What if you stalking? Stalker? Yeah, that's terrible. Yeah, I won't know how they disagreed with you. Yeah, how does gand to get following and think, yeah, that's right, following following? Just we had we had we had ourselves in morning at the airport, oh god, at the clear desk. Some guy was on Oh yeah, that's top, that's the top security that you have. Clear, you walk right in clear? Yeah yeah, Well you know what wasn't clear?

00:16:41
Speaker 2: Uh?

00:16:42
Speaker 3: The floor the floor at clear because someone decided to whoever it was he was, must have been coming off of a bender.

00:16:53
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:16:53
Speaker 3: The guy was standing in front of the clear machine with a hoodie, ghost.

00:16:57
Speaker 1: White like white, like powder white, and it's just like.

00:17:05
Speaker 3: Starting vomiting all over himself and his luggage.

00:17:09
Speaker 1: Didn't even move his mouth just like and then it was just vomit.

00:17:15
Speaker 3: All over the floor of was he flying jet Green took out four clear machines. The whole line had to be moved and went on the machine and it was it was. It was right in front of the machine. This is a Guardian airport, and and some woman standing nearby just you know, she was obviously this guy was with his girlfriend. So some woman hands the girlfriend a wet nap oh and they opened it up and like she's trying to like dry his mouth. He must have went in for seven in a row over the course of three minutes. And the best part is nobody anywhere gave a shit. I don't know how long that puke stood there, but we were We were good there for a good five to maybe even close to ten minutes, and nobody had come along to even attempt to clean. Was nervous to fly now, dude, that guy had a bottle of water. He was vomiting back into his bottle of poland spring Oh.

00:18:17
Speaker 1: It was. It was looked like he had.

00:18:20
Speaker 3: Been drinking all night and just came right, Oh, he's gonna hang out.

00:18:25
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hangover. Yeah, that's what you want to do the night before flight. But he made no It's almost like he didn't know where he was.

00:18:32
Speaker 3: Because if, if God forbid, that was me, I would at least make a make an effort to get out of harm's way, run off to the side, to the perimeters of the airport.

00:18:44
Speaker 1: The guy made no effort. He had We were we're.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: Talking about time to think about it, zigzag lines of people and he's just right there in the middle of all of it. Didn't even attempt to move his carry on rollers carry on away from the line of fire. Oh so did he just leave it and walk away? Yeah? And I didn't go get anybody, dude. So him and his girlfriend they did, you know, they cleaned him, She cleaned them up whatever, and he just kind of like, kind of did they kiss? Did you kiss him?

00:19:18
Speaker 1: No? Okay, they just.

00:19:21
Speaker 3: Hobbled away and they let him through. Fifteen minutes later, we saw him. We were you you know, we were near the gate. I'm like, oh my god, there's that couple again, and rob and puke like that, and she said, it's scary if you love me, you'll kiss me?

00:19:34
Speaker 1: Would you kiss her? Who says that this is what the podcast is for? Is that a dare? It's a dare? Like she's like, if you love me, you'd kiss me? No, she would, She wouldn't say that first of all. But if she did, what would you do? I have to kiss her? I don't. I don't.

00:19:52
Speaker 3: But you the case, you honestly think that I skied my girlfriend? No, I think you ski vomit. I don't think you'd go in there. I mean, I love my wife, but if she said it to me, but to come on, your kidding me?

00:20:08
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?

00:20:09
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:20:10
Speaker 3: I'm like, Yeah, you're not gonna remember this five years from now, right, what about you probably would five years later remember that time you would kiss me? One more one more observation about yes flying, and then we can take another break.

00:20:20
Speaker 1: And then can we only if you want to?

00:20:23
Speaker 3: No, I want to talk about I get a cheesecake factory update. We don't have a jingle for that. We don't cheesecake factory update. Yes, I want to see what this one's about. That's a that's about me. I'll tell you that if you ever go well, if you're ever sitting in the exit row.

00:20:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

00:20:39
Speaker 3: The flight flight attendant comes up and she says to everyone sitting in the exit row. Usually it's like two rows on the left, two rows on the right, you know, and she needs a verbal. I need a verbal yes from all of you. Oh are you willing to help it in emerging to help an emergency out?

00:20:56
Speaker 1: I need a verbal?

00:20:57
Speaker 4: Right?

00:20:59
Speaker 3: Why do they me a verbal? Why can't you just shake your head? It's weird, like everyone yes, yes, yes, because I think you could be misconstrued. It's like it's like it's like when you when you gamble it at uh we play twenty one at a blackjacket at a casino. Yeah, you have to tap your finger because that shows up on the camera. Well, that's a visual. They don't want them, they don't want the audio. So right, But but what if someone of the someone has like a shaky head, and they'll assume that meant yes, But like I didn't say anything.

00:21:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not recording you.

00:21:29
Speaker 3: They're not recording you, so there's no but she can testify, there's no proof you need to be committed. There's no proof for everyone to say it. But there's no proof you said yes.

00:21:37
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.

00:21:39
Speaker 3: If you're sitting in the emergency row and you said you were going to help, and I heard you, and that plane crash in water, God, I will hold you to that ship, my response would have been, well, do I need to open the door if it blows off by itself. I wouldn't sit in the emergency row these days for anything until they fixed that door issue. I'm just saying it's it's kind of weird that they need the verbal for I mean, it's like, all right, and then you assume everyone's gonna help out, but then you know, if chaos breaks out, are people actually gonna help or you're just gonna I am. One of the first things they teach you is that when you sit down is to count how many rows you are from the emergency doors, because when the lights go out in an emergency, like if the plane lands on the water, the floor lights up, but you won't see the row numbers. So if you know I'm four rows from the door, you can count, you know, hold, you know, touch the seats and go I'm four rows forward, seven rows back, yep, this way you know where the door and if I'm seven rows back and I'm walking toward that door, and am I gonna and you're in that exit row, I'm gonna. I'm gonna see you there saving lives. You're gonna be opening.

00:22:47
Speaker 1: That door, helping people out.

00:22:48
Speaker 3: You're gonna be standing there waiting for everybody to go ahead of you.

00:22:52
Speaker 1: No, I will open the door.

00:22:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will see if anyone needs my help, and then I will go down that slide.

00:22:58
Speaker 4: Is that? Oh?

00:22:59
Speaker 3: No? No, But you have to be willing to help in the case of an emergency. Yes, I will help open the door, throw it. That is not what she means when she says she wants that verbal yes, I will help people. First of all, you have to promise to open the door. You have to open the door. Step one. You have to open the door.

00:23:14
Speaker 1: Throw it.

00:23:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's helping. But yeah, you're gonna throw it and run out, okay? Or you gonna help people.

00:23:20
Speaker 1: With the line.

00:23:20
Speaker 3: If I look at the line and it's all people in good health. But like the nineteenth person is an old lady, I figure like the eighteeh person can help that old lady. I'm out. No. You you know how you open the door for someone with your with your hand reaching back like, Okay, I'll reach out and then you leave. Right, I'm that guy. I'll open I'll help because the kid. I'll help the kid out. No, you're gonna open the door and you're just gonna fucking do this, go down the slide. You're the first one out. Is the plane sinking slowly? Would they tell you plenty of time? That is not part of the rules. It doesn't matter you said you would. You gave the verbal yes.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: Yes.

00:23:58
Speaker 3: It doesn't say how much i'll help. It says help. If I help five people, that was helpful. I help you open the door so I could get myself out and fucking slide down the slide.

00:24:06
Speaker 4: No, I would go out.

00:24:07
Speaker 3: Listen, that's very helpful. If the door doesn't open, nobody goes out, that's helpful.

00:24:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bullshit, A bullshit.

00:24:15
Speaker 3: I would figure out how many people counts as being helpful. If it's five or seven, that's how many people. Right at some point, there's three hundred people to hundred and fifty people on the plane. Sure, I didn't vaunt here to help all of them. I vaunteed to help. I didn't vaunt you to be like the captain is you're the captain. You gotta wait till everybody. If anybody's off, you gotta let enough people go down the slide. Make sure the sharks get them first, and then I'll go down.

00:24:37
Speaker 1: You go the Brooklyn Boys Podcast, We will be right back. David Brody, don't put.

00:24:45
Speaker 3: Him near the exit. You hear that, airlines. Don't make Brody sit near the exit row. If you're in an exit row, get him the fuck out of there. No, if you see me on the plane, don't sit more than five people away from me. I'm will help the first five people, maybe six and even number. I'm like, oh, six is good?

00:25:01
Speaker 1: All right?

00:25:02
Speaker 3: By the way, Cheesecake Factory, Yeah, you guys remember my Cheesecake Factory of Lies episode that was Ago Ago to sixty eight too. I got a question, why is it that all the episodes before Cheesecake Factory of Lies, and all the episodes after Cheesecake Factory of Lies and the ones right after it have more downloads than Cheesecake Factory Lies.

00:25:28
Speaker 1: What happened? Did we release it on the wrong date? Did people skip it?

00:25:31
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:25:32
Speaker 3: I think that was the Saturday release. That was your bright idea? No, no, no, but people can still listen to it. If you haven't listened to it, there's got to be somebody listened to this episode slices who didn't listen, because it's got a decent amount less than the other ones around it, and it's a very good episode.

00:25:48
Speaker 1: But what was the date?

00:25:50
Speaker 3: I don't know well that that would count to. It was holiday week in February. It was in February because it was about my birthday in January? Does it matter? People listen in order all the episodes? You said the same mount listens. Doesn't make sense anyway, So you heard the episode. So our friend and listener, Shady jew Mobster dms me on Twitter and says, hey, man, I called the corporate number. I got a fifty dollar gift card. Dude, if you got fifty, I'll get one hundred.

00:26:22
Speaker 1: Fuck that.

00:26:23
Speaker 3: So I call up the cheesecake factory and they put me through the customer service that says.

00:26:29

So By the way, you've ruined the movie Oppenheimer for me? Why is that ruined it? Every time I go to watch it?

Speaker 3: Oh, the guy from Princeton University who uh talks about climate change and stuff. Oh that guy, Well, he was some expert. He's always on talk shows. How did you come up with the name?

00:27:18
Speaker 1: Uh, Oppenheimer Funds.

00:27:21
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, I know I'm gonna sound like a child here when it comes to investment firms like Oppenheimer Funds. Yeah, I can't help myself. I laugh every time somebody knows commercials says fiduciary, Yeah, fiduciary, We're we can't pull that ship. We're a I laughed my ass off. It's like you're a fra douchebag. It's got douche in the middle.

00:27:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. They gotta change there. What do you do? I'm a fiduciary expert on that note.

00:27:51
Speaker 3: In high school, sometimes we used to listen to the rock station one O two seven w any w any w. Yeah, yeah, And in the morning there was a woman who did traffic and she was like, Oh, Donna, I'm Donna Fidusia.

00:28:06
Speaker 1: Yes, Donald, And.

Speaker 3: Do you remember what you used to call her? No, he called her Donna for douchebag. He called her that when he would go to traffic don I miss in New York. Uh. He syndicated for a while, legendary DJ he got. He go to traffic now with Donna bag.

00:28:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:28:27
Speaker 3: He would demoralize her name like that, And he got fired for demoralized on the women's basketball Tell you what, he was a piece of ship, nastiest.

00:28:35
Speaker 1: Fucking motherfucker, awful human being.

00:28:38
Speaker 3: And I guess what they rewarded that because the guy became made millions off of doing what he did. Yeah, what he's my my co host on the former co host on Walkers and Talkers, Jamie.

00:28:52
Speaker 1: He used to work for him.

00:28:53
Speaker 3: Really, I bet she's got stories, She's got day she said he was. He was nice er to some of the what he got. Yeah, when he got sick. Maybe he apparently he did some nice things for some hospitals and donated.

00:29:08
Speaker 1: Somebody hit a ranch. He had sick kids.

00:29:10
Speaker 3: But to call your coworker a douchebag, well I didn't, she didn't. He didn't call her a douchebag. He made fun of her name. That's terrible. Anyway, Well, you were your fiduciary. Yeah, every time were you to listen to this traffic lady, her name was Donovan?

00:29:25
Speaker 1: Donovan?

00:29:26
Speaker 3: You got to change your name for radio at that point. Well, that's the thing in a world forget in a world of fake names. Radio was notorious for it. You couldn't change your name. Are you saying people have fake names scary Jones? I've never heard of that. People in radio. That's what we do, right, But my my last name happens to be scary. So this it's a reminder. Anybody in radio with kid or night in their name, lying liar. They're not kid anything. Their last name is not really night, can I yeah or Kincaid?

00:30:05
Speaker 1: I don't know by that name? No, yes, you do anyway?

00:30:09
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, A lot of people with a rhyme if your name rhymes chances are you aren't born that way. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, all right, back to your store on the radio, and though it's how do we get on this topic?

00:30:22
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, you go.

00:30:23
Speaker 3: Off on tangents. Yeah, anyway, cheesecake factory. So, uh, I leave a message. They don't call me back for two weeks. I call them back again. It is oh, you were put into the different department we have to give to transfer to the customer service install a complaint department.

00:30:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's fine. So I get a woman.

00:30:42
Speaker 3: I tell the story about how that they lied to me, they lied to the other customer, They ruined my evening, they kept me waiting. I'm terribly sorry. So he said, I so appreciate you calling. Here's what we're gonna do. I'm like, oh yeah, baby, bring it. She says, we are going to call that store. It's obviously a training issue. Uh and you told me today time. We're going to look up and see who the manager was, and one of the regional people will be notified so this doesn't happen again. This is absolutely unacceptable. We're so sorry you didn't have a wonderful experience A cheesecake factory, and so thank you so much.

00:31:13
Speaker 1: And so I go like this, I go like like when she said.

00:31:18
Speaker 3: Following she said, and we're gonna call them and let them know is this will happened again. You can be sure of that. Okay, great, Well, thank you so much for calling. Ahh boy, So I said, hold on a second, I said, I'm very glad that you're appreciative of my call, and certainly it was my pleasure to help the company anyway.

00:31:41
Speaker 1: I can.

00:31:41
Speaker 3: You know, if I can make a better customer experience for the next person, that's great, I said, But my customer experience was ruined, so I assumed, And that's not why I called. I made that very clear. I wanted you to know what happened. That's not why I called. I assumed you would say to me, you know, let's see what we can do nice for you to make up for your full experience. Just aly mean, like a gift card, that would be nice.

00:32:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't do that, I said. They don't do that. We don't choose. That's on our policy.

00:32:09
Speaker 3: We are not allowed to give out any kind of monetary or what are you talking about.

00:32:14
Speaker 1: You're not allowed whatever you want it's your company. Yep.

00:32:18
Speaker 3: We appreciate your called, but we don't feel the need that we have to reward you in any way. We're sorry for what happened. I go, yeah, but you're shot, Doug. I go, you're sorry, and that doesn't cut it. Hold on what he's pretty turned to his micro off. He's yelling at his dog. No, I just said, I just nicely say hey, stop barking anyway. So I said, well, that's not that's not acceptable. What are you How are you making up for my bad? Why would I go back? Well, sir, I hope we'll hope you go back for the great food and atmosphere.

00:32:51
Speaker 1: Are the atmosphere sucked?

00:32:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not giving they're not giving you any incentive to come back. So I said, now, wait a minute. A friend of mine call. He had a similar problem. You guys gave him fifty bucks. I'm sure he's not being truthful you, sir. So now you're saying my friend's a liar because he got a gift card and I'm lying to you and you're not giving me one. And you're saying that he didn't get one of your lying what you got the you got the wrong person. Obviously I was.

00:33:19
Speaker 1: Just calling back next week, for sure. You haven't called back yet.

00:33:22
Speaker 3: No, I will be calling the What are you talking about now? They have a record of me calling before. I'm just gonna say I got disconnected and I hadn't have a chance to call back. I will pull every car out of the But you can't tell me that you don't give So the else got a card, But it was for a different reason, or was it?

00:33:39
Speaker 4: No?

00:33:40
Speaker 3: A similar bad experience? What was call a regional manager was bad experience? I don't remember. It was a DM like a couple of weeks ago.

00:33:48
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:33:48
Speaker 3: It might have been a little bit more serious than yours. Maybe atmosphere wasn't just getting you a gift card.

00:33:54
Speaker 1: Maybe you need.

00:33:55
Speaker 3: Regardless, I verified and gave details and dates and times and explain and she said, oh no, that that's unaccepted.

00:34:02
Speaker 1: So what was so bad?

00:34:05
Speaker 3: The fact that I had to fight for a table that I got lied to you go listen to the episode two sixty eight whatever. But it wasn't like to it cost you money. It wasn't like it costs me time and it costs me stress. See in there, and it was my birthday dinner with my cousin, and you told them that I did. I said, went off for my birthday cheese confected, and you fucked me. Sometimes they they value they value some problems more than others.

00:34:32
Speaker 1: She didn't say you, I mean, problem doesn't warrant a gift.

00:34:35
Speaker 3: If you found if you have found a rat in your cheeseburger, I think you could have gotten a couple of hundred dollars out of them. But this did not rise to the level of you know you you're inconvened. I'm just a devil's advocate. I'm not saying I agree with them. I'm not just a factory. I'm telling you, dude, did you hear did you hit the opening of the show?

00:34:55
Speaker 1: You heard?

00:34:55
Speaker 3: You heard who you're speaking with? You know your partner is not an AI. You're speaking of David Brodi the Brooklyn Boys podcast. I have gotten much more for much less. I understand that. But this come to me on my headstone when I died. Here lies a guy who got much.

00:35:08
Speaker 1: More of a much lefe.

00:35:13
Speaker 3: You are, You're just something else. You know at some point you just gotta listen. If you were if you were cheated out of out of money if you were if they burned your steak, as we always that's like the quintessential example, right of free dessert. Yep, maybe I understand that you get your gift card for that, But what did it really cost you?

00:35:37
Speaker 1: You just said it was an atmosphere problem. It wasn't really.

00:35:40
Speaker 3: First of all, it cost me twenty five minutes extra waiting, all right, which is fine, that happens. But then to be told I'm wrong, she lied to me, and then they kept me waiting longer it had had a fight for a table. If they gave a gift card for everybody who had to wait around for a table, they guess what, they would train their staff better. They go, wait a minute, why are we giving out so many gift cards? We better get better at customer service. That's how it works. I just think secretly. If doors fall off planes, guess what they checked the bolts better next time. They probably have in their company handbook. Well they don't say. They probably don't say they could have the following person. Yeah, that company will. If you were on a flight and the door the door blew off, and you said you wanted a free flight somewhere else, and they said It's not like you were pulled out of your seat, sir, It was just a little bit. That's it your apples and oranges you're talking about that was a very serious thing.

00:36:31
Speaker 1: I think.

00:36:31
Speaker 3: I think, I think that person gets to fly for free full light. Getting my free macaroni and cheese balls on vodka sauce was very.

00:36:37
Speaker 1: Important to me.

00:36:38
Speaker 3: In their company handbook somewhere there probably is like, look, if it's a delay thing where we couldn't give them a table on time and we're running late, they don't get a gift card every.

00:36:48
Speaker 1: Time, okay.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: Rule. So while I was waiting and misinformed, then lied to what if when my table was ready? She said following, would that want to want to give one hundred dollars? That's gonna bust your coffee up?

00:37:00
Speaker 1: Your bitch?

00:37:01
Speaker 3: All right, I have a story of better customer service? Can I share that with you? A good one and a bad one right after this, right after this?

00:37:11
Speaker 1: I don't know, man.

00:37:12
Speaker 3: By the way, sometimes I think you you you, you give, they give you a finger, you take the whole arm. I think this is one of those cases, man, that you're not gonna get. You're gonna have to invent a better problem for you to get that gift card from juicecake factory. You're not gonna get it based on based on the story you told me. I don't think that warrants one hundred dollars. So if I say the hostess said it's loud in here and you're an old fucking man, that maybe I get the gift card.

00:37:38
Speaker 1: Like if she insulted me.

00:37:40
Speaker 3: I think you would have had somebody would have had a fucking squirt horse radish on your on your shirt, on my.

00:37:47
Speaker 1: Food, or they put scallions in my bar.

00:37:49
Speaker 3: You were you, you were severely delayed while everybody ate dinner and your stuff or they got stuff got cold.

00:37:56
Speaker 1: There had to be something else to it. I don't know. Waiting work table does not want gift cards.

00:38:01
Speaker 3: Embellish next time you know what they should have done though, if they were a quality establishment, could have if they could have brought you around the drinks, yeah something, but they didn't do that. Hey, free cheesecake next time you go. What does it cost them for a piece of cheesecake?

00:38:13
Speaker 1: A dollar?

00:38:15
Speaker 3: But that's a nice gesture, free dessert, give me something. Hey, well, sorry for your problems. I'm not giving you a fifty dollars gift card. But you know what, next time you go to get a free piece of cheesecake that I'll be okay with that give me something. Yeah, so maybe that's maybe that's why that episode Cheesecake of Lies doesn't have as many downloads.

00:38:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are.

00:38:33
Speaker 3: Just sick of your just just scary to listen to it because they didn't want to listen to it.

00:38:38
Speaker 4: Now.

00:38:38
Speaker 3: No, no, they knew where it was going. So I ended up uh switching banks. I had a third bank and that I used to have a lot of autopay go. They're not a fiduciary. So my wife and I decided to close that bank account. So she says, you know what, figure out all the things that are auto paid out of that account and switch them to the other bank. So I'm looking at all the autopays and I'm finally paying attention to the you know, my bank statement, and I see I'm being charged ten ninety nine every month for ESPN streaming service like ESPN Plus.

00:39:15
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:39:16
Speaker 3: Now, look, I'm not wealthy. I'm not even working. I don't know how I missed it, but I just I just didn't see it. About a year I don't know, it's been about eight nine months. I didn't notice it, but eight nine months ago maybe whatever it was, Verizon offered me the free Disney Bundle with our phone service, uh huh, which gives you Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus as part of the plan for free for like six months, and then it's like ten bucks after that something like that. So I told them I have other subscriptions. They said, well, call Disney Plus and they'll cancel your other subscriptions. So I called Disney Plus and I said, hey, listen, I got the bundle. I'm already subscribing the Disney So they said, no, you got to call Verizon back. Verizon can when they sign you up, it'll automatically cancel your other ones. Great, the call Verizon back, they said, yep, it'll cancel your other plans. Well, the Disney Plus was canceled, the Hulu was canceled, but for some reason, the ESPN Plus wasn't canceled. So I see, I've got a ten onion nine charge. So I call Espn Plus whatever the customer service number is, and I said this, I have a problem.

00:40:27
Speaker 1: I called Verizon and they told me it was canceled.

00:40:30
Speaker 3: They told me my original subscriptions were canceled, and I'm being charged. I would like a credit for the eight months or whatever it's been that i've been getting charged. I don't need two ESPN streaming services.

00:40:40
Speaker 1: I can prove to you. I get it through Verizon.

00:40:43
Speaker 3: Sir, by the way, when I say, I'm not doing the accent, but it was not, eh.

00:40:51
Speaker 1: So he says sir, who was English adjacent? Adjacent?

00:40:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he says, sir, you're being charge because you didn't cancel it. Yep, I understand that, but I canceled it, so I don't. I shouldn't be getting charged. Oh so, I'm sorry. The reason you're being charged is because it wasn't canceled.

00:41:11
Speaker 1: Yep, I got it.

00:41:12
Speaker 3: I'm calling to tell you it wasn't canceled, and I've been charged. Yes, so I'm aware of that. You didn't cancel it. No, no, no, I canceled it. It wasn't canceled. You've been charging me. I would like a credit. Well, so we can't give you a credit because it wasn't canceled.

00:41:27
Speaker 1: Yes, I know.

00:41:29
Speaker 3: That's what I'm telling you. I'm telling you it wasn't canceled. Well, if it wasn't canceled, sir, that's why we charged that.

00:41:35
Speaker 1: Shut up.

00:41:36
Speaker 3: You're not listening to me. Please, I don't want to yell. I want to stay calm here, sir. I know you're just doing your job. Let me start again. Maybe maybe it's my fault. Maybe I didn't explain it properly. I'll take the blame. No, so you're doing fine. Well apparently I'm not. So I'll start again. Please, I apologize. Let me let me start again. I had ESPN Plus. I got the package through Verizon. Verizon said they would cancel all of it. They didn't cancel ESPN Plus. I called them about this. They told me how to call you guys, because you are the guys charging me.

00:42:10
Speaker 1: So I just want to let you know.

00:42:11
Speaker 3: I can prove to you that I have ESPN Plus through Verizon. You guys have been charging me. It's a mistake.

00:42:17
Speaker 1: I get it.

00:42:18
Speaker 3: I would just like a credit for all that. You can see that I didn't log into that account. You can check, is it. You could see that I didn't cancel it. Yes, so we see that you didn't cancel it. No, no, no, no, I canceled it. You didn't cancel it. Oh no, we didn't cancel it. That's what you're being charged. Can I speak to somebody else? I don't have anyone available here, I said, can I anyone else?

00:42:37
Speaker 1: Well, if I put anyone else on the phone, so they're going to tell you it wasn't canceled. I know it wasn't canceled. Is there someone I can speak?

00:42:43
Speaker 3: All we can do, sir, is cancel it now and not charge you for next month. So that's where it stands.

00:42:49
Speaker 1: Scary. I'm out. I'm out eight.

00:42:51
Speaker 3: Times ten ninety nine, which is you know, roughly eighty eight dollars minus, you know, so out that money for you know you're gonna get credit for it. So no, no, he told me not. He goes you didn't cancel it. I said, oh, you didn't cancel it. If you start over, you hang up on the guy, start over and get someone else on the phone who understands your predicament.

00:43:15
Speaker 1: I mean you said it yourself.

00:43:16
Speaker 3: You how many times have you walked into home depot ran into the same buzzsaw with different people you go down that fourth or fifth time that you go somewhere else, speak to somebody else at that same place, or even in another location, you get your problem solved. Same situation here. Yeah, you don't like it. You know, it's like the when the computer's acting up on you. You got to reboot the computer. Right, shit's fucking up? What nine out of ten times? What's the solution? What's the fix?

00:43:43
Speaker 1: You reboot the computer?

00:43:45
Speaker 3: So you fucking reboot, fucking hit the reset button. You make a different phone call. I guarantee you you're gonna get your money one hundred percent. Well, let me tell you what happened when I called serious XM. Now, oh Jesus Christ.

00:44:00
Speaker 1: The music. Yeah, because the music. Fuck. I'm sorry.

00:44:20
Speaker 1: No music for people in slice time, bring music. They're ranting and make fun of the fact out of the music.

So I'd look at my again. I'd look at my my, my satellite. Because I was up until right up until January, I was like eight dollars a month, nine dollars a month at a promotion. I didn't realize was the promotion ended and they went back to charging me full price. Uh, good thing. I looked again. I gotta be more careful. They're charging me twenty four dollars a month for my bill. It was like a hits, no, no, So I go, that's bullshit. Now I have one of the premium plans, right, I have all the channels. I get MLB network, I get NFL network, and I get Howard on my car radio Howard Stern.

00:46:32
Speaker 1: In case you don't know how how it is. Anyway, I noticed.

00:46:38
Speaker 3: Now you know, our friend Jim Carr at Q one or four to three in New York just celebrated fifty years as a morning show host to New York Radio.

00:46:44
Speaker 1: Yes, he was doing different things all week.

00:46:48
Speaker 3: He started radio when he was like sixteen, and anyway, he moved to New York from Detroit. Anyway, he got on the phone with Howard and did an interview with Howard. Yeah, so I'm like I want to listen to this interview. So I went in the serious XM app, opened up the Howard page and it's a Jim curR interview and it says you or not you can't get this interview.

00:47:05
Speaker 1: Huh, this is not part of a subscription. He goes, bullshit. I get Howard in the car. Why can't I get on demand?

00:47:12
Speaker 3: So I call Sirius and again I don't know the price, And I said, what am I you know? I don't get that. He goes, you don't have this part of your package. I said, well, how much would it be if I want that part of my package? Twenty nine dollars a month? I go, twenty dollars a month? How much am I paying?

00:47:25
Speaker 1: Now?

00:47:26
Speaker 3: Twenty four dollars a month? What what you're supposed to be paying five dollars a month? I go, my friend just got a deal for five dollars. She says, well, here must be a promotion. I go, okay, well I would like a promotion please. Twenty fours a month is outrageous and I'm not getting Howard's turned on the app. She says, all right, well, instead of twenty nine dollars, here's what I can do field, go ahead and beat me, baby, She says, we'll do twenty four dollars a month.

00:47:52
Speaker 1: He's got it for five.

00:47:55
Speaker 3: She says, well, he doesn't have the he may not have the sports package.

00:48:00
Speaker 1: And Joey go, twenty four.

00:48:01
Speaker 3: Dollars a month is ridiculous. Yeah, she says, like she's hold on, let me see what I can do. Let me see if I can find a code. She comes back, she shows, how about nineteen ninety five a month? And I said, oh, how about I cancel my subscription? She said, what, we don't want you to do that? Yeah, how about you get the package you have now? And how it's stern additional upgrade, the Ultimate package whatever, eleven dollars a month.

00:48:24
Speaker 1: I go, ah, you got a deal. You got a deal, so I called.

00:48:30
Speaker 3: Originally I was paying twenty four without Howard she wanted to charge me twenty nine, and then I complained, it's down to eleven. They make up prices and you complain they lower the price.

00:48:42
Speaker 1: How was it?

00:48:43
Speaker 3: Can you do lower than eleven? I can't do any lower than eleven. I'll take it for eleven. So now I'm saving thirteen dollars a month of what I was paying and I got the extra package.

00:48:53
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Everybody at Serious XM's paying a different amount, that's for sure.

00:48:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:49:00
Speaker 1: I knew that. I knew that.

00:49:01
Speaker 3: I knew that I was dollars versus five dollars. I was put twenty four dollars. I was paying free ninety nine, you know, because I had my car and I got in a call. They give it to you for a year, so the year was up. I threatened to cancel. They came back with me to me like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where are you going?

00:49:19
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:49:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they actually I actually disconnected it. It was gone, and then they were like, well, we want you back. It's like that, you know, the desperate, the desperate girlfriends. You a car, I'll buy you a car. It's like you whatever you need. Yeah, so six bucks, I said, six dollars, I'm in.

00:49:35
Speaker 1: I'm back, right back, baby, six dollars a month. Yeah.

00:49:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can always get a better deal out there's always a better deal out there for you, but you gotta be willing to walk away.

00:49:46
Speaker 4: Walk.

00:49:46
Speaker 3: I was willing to walk I know. Yeah, you're twenty four dollars a month. The fuck, dude, you're you're best in show when it comes to this ship. A great movie, by the way, a great movie. You're literally like the guy who is the poster boy for out walking away and getting yourself a better deal.

00:50:02
Speaker 1: But you got to be willing to do that otherwise. I told you. I'm sure.

00:50:05
Speaker 3: I told you guys three, you got to show you. I walked out of Dodge. By the way, you got you got the hell out of Dodge. I got the hell out of Dodge. Yeah, they uh or my cowboy boots. They wouldn't they wouldn't give me. They wouldn't match a deal that another dealership was offered me.

00:50:20
Speaker 1: Right.

00:50:20
Speaker 3: It was like, I've been buying calls here for years. It's twenty dollars a month on the lease. Walking out, that's the worst thing you could do. Walk out the second, the second you make a move for the door. Yep, they're yours. They came out to the parking lot and they were like, let me, let me, let me say what I can do, and they matched it. That's like, please, that's haggling one on one, pretend like you don't need it, and then the next thing you do is like, you know what, maybe I'll come back tomorrow. They know that they have a chance that you're going to go to the competition.

00:50:48
Speaker 1: You don't want to lose. You don't want to lose twenty bucks a month. No, you don't.

00:50:52
Speaker 3: Good I didn't want to pay twenty bucks a month. Good for you, David Brody, Thank you. These are the ABC's of of haggling and negotiating. So I gotta I gotta call back Cheesecake Factor until the woman stabbed me in the arm. Yeah, there you go, it's the podcast. I think it's time to call my father. We we gotta call Tony. Don't we call him about dude? The speed Oh he was wearing uh on the on the trip, the banana hammock in front of my nephews and niece. No, no, Brody's Brody's lying, you know. Don't tell the slices that they're gonna believe. Don't they saw the pig the videos. He wasn't wearing a fucking thong or a boar at tongue, or a bikini or on the nude beach.

00:51:43
Speaker 1: He wasn't.

00:51:44
Speaker 3: He was wearing nothing. Get out your father, boy. The reason why I want to call Tony? Yeah, don't I mean he's I. I just don't understand his rationale. So recently, my sister uh redid her house. She got the house completely renovated and with that comes the kitchen appliances. Got a brand new oven, but that has a brand news a whole bunch of space to like relax and lay out. So she was kind enough to volunteer to have Easter at her house. So we're gonna do Easter by my sisters. Okay, am I coming for that too? Or am I just Christmas? I think you're the Christmas special at my brother's house. Okay, brother, he's gonna take brody and small doses. I hear you saying here.

00:52:34
Speaker 1: So so we're figuring, all right, what are we gonna eat?

00:52:37
Speaker 3: And you know, there's all kinds of stuff that my sister can make, and then we're gonna do a combination of taking some food out and some heating things up and some using her braised rabbit.

00:52:47
Speaker 1: No, but my sister, is it wrong to have rabbit on Easter? No, it's all right.

00:52:52
Speaker 3: For a lot of people, a lot of a lot of Catholics and Italian Catholics, they eat rabbit or they eat lamb's head, head of a lamb oh.

00:53:01
Speaker 1: Or baby goat? Remember that?

00:53:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby goat? Yeah, but you can't eat it. You can't eat rabbit on Easter. It's like eating sant on Christmas. You wouldn't eat sant on Christmas. No, I'm not saying we do that, but some people it's in some people's tradition. Some people, some people get a suckling pig. No, it's it's like eating Moses on Passover.

00:53:21
Speaker 1: You can't do that. You can't eat a pig. No, you can't eat a pig. I didn't bring that up. Of course you can. It's a half pass over.

00:53:27
Speaker 3: People eat ham on on a Easter, not on passover.

00:53:31
Speaker 1: Pass over. You don't. No, no, no, you pass over the ham like no ham, No, no pork. Well so, because hold hold on a second.

00:53:40
Speaker 3: Did you see the story yesterday They implanted a pig kidney and some guy.

00:53:44
Speaker 1: No, I didn't hear about this.

00:53:46
Speaker 3: The guy's gotta eat. They got an oil. Was it kidney or a liver, doesn't really matter? They they I think it was a kidney. They mutated the pig, somehow genetically altered the pig. Sorry about the pig. I'm sorry for activists. I'm I'm just saying, mh. They were able to take the pig the kidney out of the pig. You can't take the pig out of the kidney. And the guy's living with a pig kidney. And Nate, Nate from the Big Show, doesn't he have like a cow heart or pig heart. He's got one of those. A kid pig valve, a kid pigmy, he's got a he's got a pork hall a pig kidney, A kid picks a kid pigmy like a no, a pigmy, A pigmy is a he's got a pigny.

00:58:26
Speaker 1: I gotta tell Spruce what you did? Spruce? It's been.

00:58:28
Speaker 3: First of all, it's been. It's been about one hundred episodes. The listeners have been asking for you. The slice is like, when you're gonna get Spruce on? Brody makes these empty promises, and I'm trying to get my dad on the phone. He's not available right now, so I figured we would just I will use back up plan. What.

00:58:43

Speaker 3: I was trying to call my father and ask him why he didn't want to have lamp chops for Easter because my sister got a new oven and he didn't want to the lamp chops to splatter everywhere because it's gonna ruin her oven.

00:59:00
Speaker 1: That's what we were doing.

00:59:01
Speaker 4: Scary. Why don't I pretend like I'm your dad right now? Oh?

00:59:07
Speaker 1: Like I'm your dad playing Hey Dad, Dad, Hello son.

00:59:12
Speaker 3: So Jennifer wants to have Easter in her house, and I know she guys know.

00:59:17
Speaker 4: Jennifer can't cook.

00:59:22
Speaker 3: Well, aside from that, I wanted to. I wanted to get these lamb chops dad, and I wanted to. I wanted to bring them over the house, and I wanted Jennifer to cook.

00:59:31
Speaker 1: Him in her brand new oven. What do you think?

00:59:33
Speaker 4: All right?

00:59:34
Speaker 2: Well, look, you know how much I love lamb chops, and you know how much Jennifer is my second favorite child.

00:59:41
Speaker 4: So whatever you want to do, I'm down to do it with your son because I love you. You're the greatest son of all time.

00:59:49
Speaker 3: That sound nothing like his father and you and you reacted exactly the opposite how he's going to react when we get him on the phone. Scary Scary as his fourth favorite child and he only has three. So Spruce, Spruce, two very important things, what Spruce? Two things you need to know. Number One, I've missed since the last time you were on. Number one we were talking about the Doobie Brothers, and Scary was his mind was blown. He had no idea that Michael McDonald was white.

01:00:20
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Scary, where have you been?

01:00:23
Speaker 3: Because he said he has that soulful sound. I had no idea he sounds like, what scary? What does he sound like?

01:00:30
Speaker 2: What he's Hey, Michael McDonald is vanilla chocolate.

01:00:35
Speaker 4: He really is.

01:00:36
Speaker 1: Thank you. See I know I'm not crazy.

01:00:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a he's got a real soulful sound.

01:00:42
Speaker 5: But there's been so many videos, uh yeah with him saying the Internet.

01:00:48
Speaker 4: He's not.

01:00:49
Speaker 3: It's not like there's no pictures and video of him. He didn't believe me.

01:00:54
Speaker 1: I had he hadn't look it.

01:00:55
Speaker 3: Up on his phone. He's like, you're lying. I call mc donald. How many black people do you know named McDonald?

01:01:02
Speaker 1: First of all.

01:01:08
Speaker 4: Brothers? You know name McDonald's.

01:01:10
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I just he just I never knew. I never saw pictures or video of him. He was in the seventies, it was before my time. He can't still picture video. So this was like ten minutes of him in disbelief. Okay, and what was the second thing that you had to tell? Here's the other thing, Spruce. So last episode, last episode, I think, or the episode before.

01:01:31
Speaker 1: It's one of the last two episodes. Scary comes on.

01:01:34
Speaker 3: He says he has a theory that tall people get picked up in bars, even if they're not attractive, that a tall guy will get women because women love tall guys.

01:01:44
Speaker 1: Right, so he gets his friend less on the phone.

01:01:47
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Brody didn't believe me that was a thing. No, that was part of the story, because that's why I called my buddy left Spruce. Do you know, hold on, Spruce, do you think a six foot five ugly guy has a better chance to see to seven six foot seven ugly guy or average guy has a better chance with going in a bar than a five foot ten pretty good looking guy.

01:02:08
Speaker 4: Well, uh, a six You know what, A lot of women think. The tall guy is blessed, gifted.

01:02:14
Speaker 1: That's what I said.

01:02:15
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a thing.

01:02:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I tell you you know, I like tall women. My last girlfriend was six y five, my guy, and when we went out, guys were all over her.

01:02:26
Speaker 3: Yeah you mean she was the athlete right, Yeah, my god, yeah, the volleyball Yeah, oh my god. She was gorgeous, but she was she She was intimidatingly attractive.

01:02:39
Speaker 1: But she was beautiful, though, Spruce. She wasn't just tall.

01:02:44
Speaker 2: She she used to wear high heels and cocktail dresses and it made her look like she was even taller, but she.

01:02:49
Speaker 4: Was six she's six five.

01:02:52
Speaker 3: Yes, she's running. Scary, You're gonna have to show me her name later. So so so continue, okay, okay. So he says, let me call my friend Less to verify that this other friend of ours and that in general, tall guys do really well. She calls Less, and here's something you should know other than you, Less is the only black person he knows. That is not true. That is not true, Spruce. No, we get we get with. First of all, I yelled, it's scary, because he says to me, let's call.

01:03:24
Speaker 1: My black friend Maxwell. I know Maxwell.

01:03:26
Speaker 3: Okay, he says. He says, let me call my friend, my friend. He's black, is my friend? His name is Less? I go, Are you telling me your your black friend is Less?

01:03:34
Speaker 1: He says, yes.

01:03:35
Speaker 4: I go.

01:03:35
Speaker 1: So it's not equal to white people. You know what, Bry's putting words in my mouth and look bad.

01:03:42
Speaker 3: Don't disrespect Spruce, but the whole, the whole. Hold on, hold on, I'm getting to it, so, I said, I said to the last. First of all, Less, I said Less, I.

01:03:50
Speaker 1: Said, Less.

01:03:50
Speaker 3: Does he ever mammn you? He pauses, He goes, you know, I'll come and think of it. Yes, he demands me all the time.

01:04:00
Speaker 4: You're a man black less.

01:04:03
Speaker 1: His name is less. It's not black less. Say he's black less. His name is less.

01:04:10
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know two lessons, and he's the first one. So he'll always be less. If I meet a white less, that person is white less, and less is still less. You understand, he is less and white less will be less white less.

01:04:23
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

01:04:24
Speaker 4: Okay, But but the less you know is black less.

01:04:29
Speaker 3: Right, his name is less. Okay, we only we call him less. We don't call him anything else. We don't put an adjective in front of him. Spruces name his nickname is three fifths.

01:04:45
Speaker 1: So so so really it's Spruce.

01:04:47
Speaker 3: So so the reason why, but the reason why we did is it was it was the analogy was the one of a kind.

01:04:54
Speaker 1: Right, So the one of.

01:04:55
Speaker 3: A kind guy, the tall guy in the bar with the average guys, is going to get the girl, get all the girls who are interested in the tall guy.

01:05:03
Speaker 1: So the analogy is less. Go ahead, okay.

01:05:07
Speaker 3: So then Less says when I go out, I go out with mostly white people. If I go to a white bar, only only only black guy I clean up, he cleanses.

01:05:17
Speaker 1: If any women there have a.

01:05:18
Speaker 3: Black fetish, I go home with one of them exactly. So my question is to you, Spruce, has that ever happened? I know that you've dated some white women. You know you've dated everyone. When you go to a bar, do whate Wait, that's right, right, equal opportunity. So when you go into a bar of all white women, do they do some of them float to you automatically, regardless of anything other than the fact that you're black.

01:05:46
Speaker 1: Yes see, I told you it works.

01:05:49
Speaker 3: You think I'm crazy, you think I'm fucking on the planet. But this is real life, Brodie. This is how this is Spruce, Spruce, you know me. It's human behavior as well as anybody. You know me for twenty five years. If I went into a ball uptown and I was the only white guy killing it.

01:06:05
Speaker 1: Is he killing it with the black ladies?

01:06:07
Speaker 4: Am I? Am?

01:06:07
Speaker 1: I hitting a home run? Am I knocking boots? Look?

01:06:11
Speaker 4: I have to admit, if you know, if you act like you act, if you be the brody that's been my bro.

01:06:22
Speaker 2: Hand for over twenty years, and we go into Slovia's in.

01:06:26
Speaker 4: Harlem, some black chicks are gonna check for you.

01:06:29
Speaker 1: See, but I'm with ye.

01:06:34
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. You're with me, so that that gives you cool back, that gives you cool factor. But you're funny.

01:06:39
Speaker 2: At the same time, I'm saying, if you act like you, if you just be you, kicks are gonna check for you. It just means they checking for you out to you. I don't like put colors on stuff, but yeah, what if I'm if you find the women, the women there that are into white guys, Brodie's the only choice.

01:06:59
Speaker 3: They're gonna float to Brody. And unless he does something really stupid, Brody could get lucky.

01:07:04
Speaker 1: That's probably gonna happen. So but that's been my point.

01:07:08
Speaker 3: And regardless of color or height, whatever, what I'm trying to say is when there's one of a kind or limited edition of of something in a certain place and everywhere, and there are people there looking for that limited edition thing, that person automatically wins no matter And again doesn't matter what we're talking about race or we're talking about height or whatever.

01:07:33
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, then you're saying, when that unicorn is in the room.

01:07:38
Speaker 4: Do you people are gonna look at the unicorn?

01:07:40
Speaker 3: Unicorn they're gonna want, and they're gonna get, and they're gonna win, no matter what the case is. That even even like an average below average guy like Brody, he goes into a bar, Scarry goes into a bar and every every guy in the boss good look.

01:07:54
Speaker 1: And what Brody is?

01:07:58

01:08:04
Speaker 2: Like you said, he's average looking, he's white girl average looking, but black girl handsome.

01:08:08
Speaker 3: I got a nice car, I got I don't have a job, but I'm working on that, say Spruce, So be honest with us. Now, you know the girls alone in your life, you're ever out with a body or even out alone or with a buddy, and you're looking to get it, you know, looking to have a good maybe get a little action, maybe meet someone. Would you ever go Should we go to the black barn? No, fuck it, Let's go to the white bar. We'll stand out and definitely hook up.

01:08:36
Speaker 5: I go, okay, you know how I am, Brodie, I usually go where everybody else wants to go.

01:08:41
Speaker 2: I'm probably usually gonna I'm probably usually going to the white bar because I know my white.

01:08:49
Speaker 4: Friends would be uncomfortable going to the black bar.

01:08:52
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's the terence, and that is what we wanted to hear. I thought you'd know for your own personal gain and your own interest. Yeah, no, you forget about your friends and what they're comfortable with. If you want a terrible figure tonight, I'm going to get some booty. Yeah everyone's black. Are you going for you the unicorn? You're the unicorn? You want to go to the Unicorn place?

01:09:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably gonna just I'm probably gonna go. Look, especially if I've been drinking. You know, I'm gonna go where I don't have to work too hard.

01:09:24
Speaker 3: See my point has been thank you so much. Gates closed. See, I'm r eye scary. We gotta put on nice clothing, we gotta dress up. He's just gonna go out with skin. Because I was saying, he's like, I'm getting some tonight. I know, and I know it's so trite and it's so scary. Puts on his suit, Spruce puts on his birthday suit. But yeah no, yeah no, we And again we're not talking in absolutes. There are no such thing as black bar or white bar. I mean we're talking about like we're from the fucking nineteen forties here. But the truth that we're talking about bars, that that that skew a certain way. You know, then you know certain that's all okay. So here's now, this is something I know people do. I'm not doing it, but I know people do this. You know, girls sometimes go to gay bars because then they know the guys aren't gonna hit on them.

01:10:17
Speaker 1: Right, it's a great example.

01:10:18
Speaker 3: But if but if I walk into a gay bar as the only straight guy, if I got a shot with the women, is.

01:10:24
Speaker 1: What you're saying. Yes, they're not to be bothered plas.

01:10:30
Speaker 2: You're gonna be the You're gonna be the gay guys unicorn because they can.

01:10:33
Speaker 4: Gay men can smell a straight man from a mile away.

01:10:37
Speaker 3: Oh oh, so the guys like, oh my god, there's the one straight guy in here.

01:10:41
Speaker 1: Let's get them. No, they know there's not the way gay people are that. But they may be attracted to you. They may want to flip you. There's no gay men of what they do whip me.

01:10:50
Speaker 3: No, they get my stomach. What are we talking about? Yes, No, I spruce you and I both know. Spruce you and I both know that there are are there. I'm not trying to speak on behalf of gay men. But there are gay men out there.

01:11:05
Speaker 1: He's gay manning.

01:11:06
Speaker 3: There are gay men out there that it's it's a challenge to try and get with a straight guy. And I don't know, I don't know any gay men that let me want to be with them.

01:11:21
Speaker 1: One he does it all the time.

01:11:25
Speaker 3: M Oh, that's well, but he's he's he's different. I'm just saying what was not the master bro Brody's trying to say that that doesn't exist.

01:11:36
Speaker 1: But it doesn't exist. It's not the norm.

01:11:37
Speaker 3: I don't want people to think like gay people are looking at like go into a bathroom and make you gay. No, I'm not saying, but the same there's also straight guys that try to turn lesbian straight.

01:11:47
Speaker 1: There's that text challenge for them.

01:11:49
Speaker 4: If it's.

01:11:51
Speaker 2: The girl says she's a lesbian. I get excited, you do I get comfortable? Yes, that's great.

01:11:59
Speaker 3: You get comfortable. You know you don't have to there's no stress. It doesn't want you.

01:12:02
Speaker 4: There's no stress at all. So that means you could talk about anything. Right.

01:12:07
Speaker 1: You don't get excited like horny.

01:12:09
Speaker 4: He didn't mean.

01:12:10
Speaker 1: He means he gets excited. There's no pressure.

01:12:16
Speaker 4: Death being in a bar situation.

01:12:19
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whether you're in a flat bar or white bar, just the bar situation itself. Anytime you talk to a girl talking to a guy guy talking to a girl in a bar situation, they think it's an attempt to hook up.

01:12:32
Speaker 4: Immediately, that's just the ball mentality. This guy's talking to me because he's trying to hook up.

01:12:38
Speaker 2: That's the mentality. But if you if a girl says she's a legend, if you could just chill, you know, you could just chill and.

01:12:45
Speaker 1: Talk and have fun. It's amazing.

01:12:48
Speaker 3: Almost every girl I talk to in a bar it happens to turn out to be gay.

01:12:52
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I know what the odds are, but every one of them is like, I'm gay.

01:12:57
Speaker 3: I'm like, but I do also see what Brodie's talking about when he said that sometimes, if let's say he's in a gay bar and he's the only straight guy and there are women there who are straight, he's really the only choice. So it's except they deliberately went there not to be you know, with a.

01:13:13
Speaker 2: Guy, right, that's the only problem.

01:13:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they're like, look at that creep, he's going to a gay bar trying to get women who don't want to be be hit on tonight.

01:13:23
Speaker 4: All right, but.

01:13:24
Speaker 2: I've seen I've seen situations where women said they met their husband in a gay bar.

01:13:33
Speaker 1: Okay, because he's batman, Liza Minelli.

01:13:41
Speaker 3: Stay though, if I walk into a church on Sunday, is the only Jew I got a shot?

01:13:48
Speaker 1: That is what you're saying, right, Hello.

01:13:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, Christian woman want will want to give you her holy ghost?

01:13:57
Speaker 3: Oh you know what this is just points to another sample of you know, several years ago, it was I guess this woman who was Jewish, who was very religious and would only be surrounded by religious Jewish guys. Uh meant me and I was the you know, I was the unicorn and we dated going back.

01:14:23
Speaker 1: Yes, how do I not know this? I'm going back to the nineties.
