But I just wanted to say to the slices, thank you for putting up with us and staying with us to all this, because it has been maddening. Moving is not easy. I now realize why I didn't move for nineteen years.

00:03:14
Speaker 2: But here I am. I gotta take a breath now. Are ready to breathe.

00:03:18
Speaker 1: So in regards to Scari's apartment again, David Brody, man of the people I call Scary oh God, because we're ready to do the podcast, and he says, I can't talk right now. I'm on the phone with my interior designer, not his his decorator, his interior designer.

00:03:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:03:43
Speaker 1: So, in case you're wondering, the podcast was, we had to wait an extra half hour to forty minutes shut up, which Wednesday, and we're getting a podcast off time. I'm on the phone with my interior decorator. Okay, first of all, let me say this, where's your lighting specialist? Because just sitting in the dark, as I said, this is makeshift. This is this was just find the equipment in all the boxes, rummage through everything, dig it out, put the basics together, connect the cables, and plug the shit in and we go. This is just bare bones. This is not the beginning. This is bare bones, Scary Jones. This is not like coolcom Collected I wanted to get. We cannot miss another fucking week, you know. And now we're on the air and we're good, and now we can and slowly but surely things will improve around here, I would like to just tell you that when I moved, when we moved from our townhouse.

00:04:39
Speaker 2: Into our first house. Yeah, we moved in November.

00:04:45
Speaker 1: In boxes like as you imagine, my wife made Thanksgiving dinner the day after we moved into a house.

00:04:55
Speaker 2: How the hell did she accomplish that?

00:04:58
Speaker 1: Because she's awesome and you're not, Wow, so you can't put a studio together?

00:05:05
Speaker 2: She made a Thanksgiving dinner? All right, Look, all right, there's a lot to cover.

00:05:10
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it all about the move, but unfortunately my life lately, my life lately has been about the move.

00:05:18
Speaker 2: I've learned a lot of lessons along the way.

00:05:20
Speaker 1: There are some things that we're gonna laugh about, because when I tell you them, you're gonna be like, no, oh, I can't wait. But tell me specifically, give me one thing that your interior designer is doing for your apartment that you couldn't figured out on your own. Well, the last time, you just saw a picture in a magazine and you bought everything in the picture and recreated it, and you're okay, this is the reason why I'm having someone help me, and I'm hiring her. But she's also a longtime friend of mine. Her name is Loraina. Let's give her her name, Okay, her name is Lorena. Lorena is helping me out because specifically, I don't want to be made of. You know, the last five episodes, that's gonna happen either way, you know, the last ten episodes, how we've been talking about a white off white, shades of white and earth tones and whatever, and I'm gonna straight jacket in a fucking in a in a crazy room for for the vitally right Institution And what was that paint?

00:06:19
Speaker 2: That clay painting, all that stuff. So I hired her so as to not get made fun of.

00:06:27
Speaker 1: So so actually I can do the right thing because I don't have listen, I don't have an eye for this crap. It's like, and I'm not I don't want to stereotype, you know where it comes. But I gotta say, I go into the homes of my my gay friends, and their.

00:06:45
Speaker 2: Ship is on point, and they know what they're doing. What are we talking? What are we talking about?

00:06:51
Speaker 1: When you say your gay friendship is on point.

00:06:54
Speaker 2: We're talking about their houses and the way they're.

00:06:57
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. Sorry, And I don't think it's because they're gay. I think it's because they care. No, it's because they have an eye for that stuff. You know, the remember queer Eye for the straight guy the show. That's scary, I know. But but but having an affinity towards a person of the same sex has nothing to do necessarily you no, no, but you would agree with me.

00:07:17
Speaker 2: I have I have gay friends.

00:07:19
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say his name, but I have a gay friend is a comedian who like is a star trek nerd and slop. Yeah, I mean he's not a slot but he's like, he's a dude bro like he's you never noting stereotype.

00:07:31
Speaker 2: It's just but but he's gay.

00:07:34
Speaker 1: But I feel like I feel like fashion sense, I feel like home decor and interior design. I feel like I'm in better hands with I'm better hands with people like something like that. I can't what what are they converse? Okay, straight speakers, straight man, Okay, being a straight guy.

00:07:54
Speaker 2: But it's you. You don't represent on straight men.

00:07:57
Speaker 1: So you're saying there's a lot of straight guys out there that are into interior design.

00:08:02
Speaker 2: And it's about Yeah, I don't I.

00:08:07
Speaker 1: Okay, I think there are men straight men who have an eye for what I have. You've never walked into a house of a person who's wealthy or uh or has good taste that is straight. Yeah, they had somebody to do it. They hired someone, or they hired a woman or somebody with Okay, they didn't do it themselves. Okay, but my dad Tony would know how to No, he gets mad at fancy garbage pails.

00:08:30
Speaker 2: But scary.

00:08:31
Speaker 1: Who is the who is the the biggest gay person we know in terms of like in our lives? Elvis Elvis? Okay, Elvis is. Elvis's homes are unbelievably uh stunning, But he has he hires someone, Yes he does. He hired the right person. But but but under your under your explanation, the fact that Elvis likes to sleep with men. He no, no, no, no, no, no, don't put words in my mouth. I'm just saying when it comes to fashion, he he knows what what's up when it comes I guarantee you he knows how to.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: Decorate on his own.

00:09:04
Speaker 1: But he doesn't a whole lot of time on his hands, so he has somebody do it for me.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe that's what happens.

00:09:09
Speaker 1: When when when you're you're talking about uh, the your your your stereotypical effeminate gay person is what I think you're doing.

00:09:19
Speaker 2: No, I don't think stereotypes around.

00:09:21
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, I think I think you're you're you're like you know, they don't have they're not in Like Elvis isn't into sports, so therefore he has a lot of free time on his hands to think about swatches.

00:09:31
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever, listen, we'll leave it. But just you you you brought this up. Lorena? Is that Lorena who your interior design?

00:09:40
Speaker 1: A friend of my boy Will and a friend of mine and Robin like she's she's hung out with us in the past.

00:09:45
Speaker 2: She's gone drinking.

00:09:46
Speaker 1: She's the best, and she works for a an architect and a developer, one of the huge Well, I'm sure she's very talented. So what did she say about all your white bedrooms and stuff that herd and her and her measuring tape and her she knows what's up and she's she's putting a masking tape on the floors.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: This is what I need. A person's a masking tape on the floors.

00:10:08
Speaker 1: No, someone to measure measure spaces and to a straight man could never measure anything. You know, men with men aren't really good with tools.

00:10:17
Speaker 2: All right, just belittle me all I want. I'm not bullowing you.

00:10:20
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you gotta I gotta have a designer to measure your room. No, but she's picking out furniture from me. She's okay, here's what she's doing. Okay, hold on, are you keeping your white bedroom set? The white bedroom set stays, But you'll be happy to know that I painted my room. Call is the bedroom sand, which is an earth tone and it's dark.

00:10:42
Speaker 2: It's a darker tone. No, but the motifa Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait? Is it like white?

00:10:48
Speaker 1: Hold on, don't answer till I finished the question. Is it like Aruba sand white beaches? Or is like Coney Island dirty, filthy, condom ridden sand. It's more like the Coney Island kind. I put more shape of brown in there.

00:11:02
Speaker 2: Connie Allen has shades of brown everywhere. Everywhere.

00:11:05
Speaker 1: People people put crap on the beach. Listen, my bedroom was is my bedroom the set? It's a brand new set that came with me.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: But what size? What size bed did you have? Queen?

00:11:16
Speaker 1: Okay, staying with the queen every everything stays the same in the bed apparently it's staying with the queen. You want your house designed right, Hio anyway, No, so no, my bedroom has got the earth tones. Everything else my Loreina did everything else. Everything else is color color drenched. That means that means floor to ceiling, including the ceiling and the floorboards and the and the the doors are all in my in now, in my bedroom, in my living room it's blue Kensington blue. So you you look into my apartment and the and the hall the hallway, you got a gray hall of very deep gray hallway like a silver Brooklyn gray, like its Brooklyn gray. It's like a metallic you walk through and the and the walls are gray, the floorboards are gray. The you've got solid oak are brown floors, and the ceiling is blue. And so it's the gray on the blue. It's the blue that matches the gray. And then when you walk into the space, you've got white marble on the on the kitchen, you've got the you've got the brown floors like the you know, the the the wood oak, and you've against Now that brown against the blue is.

00:12:33
Speaker 2: Fucking chef's kiss. The blue ceilings, the blue walls. I'm telling you.

00:12:38
Speaker 1: It's I assume the ceiling is a lighter blue than the walls. No, no, it's the ceiling should always be lighter. So it makes this, it makes it look more spacious.

00:12:48
Speaker 2: The whole it's all one color blue.

00:12:50
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, you don't paint the ceiling the same color as the walls when you do dark whit. Why not, I've got because it gives the illusion of it gives the illusion of a bigger room when the ceiling listen, I'm straight, but I know this. Like when we when we did our house, we did like shade three of the color we liked, but shade one on the ceilings.

00:13:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we know.

00:13:11
Speaker 1: And in this red room, everything's red, including the ceiling, except we use flat on flat paint on the ceiling.

00:13:17
Speaker 2: Anyway, and you know what.

00:13:18
Speaker 1: Anyway, that being said, that being said, there's a lot going on here, a lot of moving past. I am happy with it, I think once you see the space, and I'm not ready to reveal it. God knows, I don't even have furniture. I don't even have a sofa yet.

00:13:33
Speaker 2: So wait a minute.

00:13:34
Speaker 1: If I if I was coming over to get your mad magazines, I would be able to come up. You'd come up, you'd see the space, but just know where it's going and where you know it'll it's not.

00:13:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I'm not.

00:13:44
Speaker 1: I'm not there for the unveiling yet, for the big grand puba opening. But uh, I'd like to think I would be allowed to walk in anyway.

00:13:51
Speaker 2: You know, of course you would. You know you're invited your family, all right.

00:13:54
Speaker 1: So if you had told your interior designer, uh, Lorena, I want to do my bedroom in white off white with the white furniture, what would she have said to you?

00:14:04
Speaker 2: Already talked what she tell you? She wasn't having it? Yeah, say so, So who knows more about about this thing that me.

00:14:11
Speaker 1: So she's already picking up furniture, rugs, lighting, fixtures, everything.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: And just spending your money left and right.

00:14:17
Speaker 1: I'm going to Yeah, well, she's giving me options, and then I'm picking from the options because I can't. I don't have the time of the bandwidth to shopping all these places. She knows, she knows all these all these awesome stores to shop at.

00:14:31
Speaker 2: You know, the manager manager Levitz, she.

00:14:33
Speaker 1: Gets a twenty five percent bomb count because of the company she works for to develop. They own buildings, they owned half Homeboken. But anyway, all right, let's enough about that. Let's change the topic. We'll be right back, all right.

00:14:45
Speaker 2: The podcast.

00:14:48
Speaker 1: We will be right back.

00:14:50
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, what would you do in this situation?

00:14:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in doctor's office office building, second floor a couple of days ago, and I'm waiting for the elevator. And the elevator is not a very big elevator. It's like a four person elevator. So when you walk in, you can walk to the left and stand by the buttons, or walk straight and stand closer to the door. That's really all you can go. Maybe four people two buy the buttons two. It's not a big elevator. So I'm waiting for the elevator, and you know, like a smart person, I'm a few feet back from the elevated door so that I don't stand in front of the door, so if there's someone on the elevator they can get off.

00:15:29
Speaker 2: Great.

00:15:30
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So while I'm waiting, this woman about my age comes over and uh, she stands a couple of feet to my right. Now I'm closer to the door to the elevator. Now when the door opens. Scary.

00:15:46
Speaker 2: What would you do? I get off the elevator and let her off. No, no, scary. We're waiting to get on the elevator. Okay, I would wait on that. I would wait. No, I would wait for the people to get off.

00:15:56
Speaker 1: The elevator to see if no one's on the elevator. No one's on the elevator. Door, door's open, doors open, all right. Let her go first, ladies first, okay, okay, so I say, and I do the hand. I go after you. Oh, thank you, And we get in. She goes to the buttons on the left, and she stands by the buttons and she pushes the button to the first floor. And I stand by the door because that's the other half of the elevator, and I don't make eye contact with her, not really talking to her. Doors open. I am closer to the door. What should I do, Um, get off the elevator because you're closed off to the door. I step back against the wall and do the hand again after you. That's very nice, But in that case, you're right near the door. Let her and get it's time to get off. When it comes time to leave an.

00:16:42
Speaker 2: Elevator, the person closest to the door gets off.

00:16:46
Speaker 1: But that was very chivalrous of you, And I don't see a problem with you, okay, stepping back and saying you go first, right. So I let her go, and she makes her right down the long hallway to the door to get out of the building. And I get out of the elevator after her, and I'm I don't know, ten feet behind her. I don't want to creep up on her. Walk behind her, that's kind of you know. I give her some space, maybe ten feet behind her. And she walks to the two glass doors and she pushes the door that says push, and she walks right the fuck out, knowing I'm right behind her, and doesn't hold the.

00:17:16
Speaker 2: Door for me. Ah.

00:17:18
Speaker 1: So my question is scary and slices. What would you do in that situation?

00:17:24
Speaker 2: What would I do? Yeah, I'd be like I would. I would.

00:17:29
Speaker 1: I would just mumble some thing to myself, bite my tongue, and keep going throughout my You know, it doesn't affect my day.

00:17:36
Speaker 2: No, do we think that's what David Brody did? Fuck?

00:17:39
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna say something that's correct. So I opened the door and I said, excuse me. She turns around and go. It would have been nice if you held the doll for me. You are Larry David once again, this is another reason. There's another reason why you're laughing, because that's what Larry would do. Yes, And so I said, well, you know, would have been nice to dol for me, And she says, oh, I didn't realize you were behind me. I was like, the whole way only goes one direction. Yeah, I said, yeah, my, but you didn't even look. Look, I'm not asking for her to open the door. Hold it open and I walk past her, but reach back with your hand and do the whole I'm holding holding it as I get do a little fake or a little something right, doing something. But I'm I'm right behind you. That's what I get for being a jumps you know what. She ruined it. But every woman from that one, that's it, because you're not holding the door for anyone anymore.

00:18:28
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it. I'm going off the elevator first. I'm not going to do the hand. I'm not gonna do the fter. You huck them all, yeah right, everybody huck them all.

00:18:36
Speaker 1: Oh, that's what I get for being nice? Yeah, Well, you wouldn't have said anything.

00:18:39
Speaker 2: I I wouldn't have.

00:18:41
Speaker 1: Said, nah, you can't do that, you can't, you can although although I said something today, oh my god, David Brody, you and I was in the right.

00:18:53
Speaker 2: So Elvis and I are in my car and the windows are.

00:18:58
Speaker 1: Rolled down, and we are leaving the radio station garage and we are driving down, cruising down fifty something street whatever, not the Atlanta Highway, thank you.

00:19:11
Speaker 2: Jay Z's fifty two.

00:19:15
Speaker 1: Cruising down West Side high No cruising down the Atlanta Highway. Oh that's love Shack, that's befifty two. Well I'm thinking of jay Z, Bonnie and Clyde with Beyonce. But that's okay.

00:19:27
Speaker 2: Anywayway for me. Anyway. So as I we're driving, the light is green.

00:19:36
Speaker 1: And and there's no cars in front of us. But we're approaching Seventh Avenue on the fifty something street and as you know, seventh Avenue is a busy pedestrian shit, well you know, people cross and crossing. It's a green light, and I'm driving and the people are just crossing, they're just they're just walking in the mid And then I'm talking about people walking in both directions with the green light.

00:20:02
Speaker 2: So that's what they do yeah.

00:20:03
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. They're walking across the way. They shouldn't be walking with the green light. They're walking across my fucking roadway. I've got a crossing with a red light. My light is green in front of me, and people crossing purple dick people are crossing the street coming up. They have a red light and they're crossing on a day sign the no, no, no, they've got a green light. They no, they're for them, it says don't walk because right So they're crossing in front of my path, back and forth hard.

00:20:40
Speaker 2: So I rolled right up to them and I.

00:20:42
Speaker 1: Start jamming on the horn and one fucking fat guy goes in the middle of the street. Everyone scatters like roaches, and this guy, this blobberly guy, goes. They're like a deer in headlights and then he runs because he didn't know what the fuck was going on. And my windows were clearly rolled down, and I'm rolling up slow. I'm going slow, and I'm like, all I say is just like this, And then everybody's back on the sidewalk and I'm like, and they must be about twenty people on each side.

00:21:11
Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you guys doing? It's a green light?

00:21:14
Speaker 1: And as I roll through, some guy curses me off, says something like, oh you fucking news and you fuck and I'm like, fuck you as I'm rolling away as I passed through the light. But you know what, don't don't fucking do that? What is wrong with people? What is wrong with people? It's a green light? Do you want to get killed?

00:21:38
Speaker 2: People?

00:21:38
Speaker 1: Half the people are looking, they're looking at the floor. Were they already in the street when the light changed? The light never changed, The light was always green. It was the dawn of time, it was at some point it green.

00:21:50
Speaker 2: It was green, green, green the whole way.

00:21:54
Speaker 1: But people felt the need to just say, like, I don't care if it's green light, We're gonna walk and the car coming down the side street is gonna stop nonetheless for.

00:22:04
Speaker 2: Us, Okay, it works.

00:22:07
Speaker 1: So if you're talking about like being in the Times Square area, basically Midtown, where you are when you come down, when you come down the street, the car Mines is on forty fourth, is it right?

00:22:14
Speaker 2: Forty fourth?

00:22:15
Speaker 1: When you try to go across Broadway and seventh, people just go right, They just cross, They just keep going.

00:22:21
Speaker 2: So you everybody kind of break the chain and be like, it's a green light.

00:22:25
Speaker 1: Hank right right if they're on the other side, on the eastern side of that intersection.

00:22:31
Speaker 2: Right.

00:22:31
Speaker 1: So you cross the one crosswalk, then the second crosswalk as you go across Broadway and Seventh, I'm coming. I'm reving, and I got the horn going. I'm like, I'm letting them know I'm coming because you have the right of way. It's a green light for me. You're saying your shit says don't walk. You stand on the sidewalk. As a New Yorker, I will cross when it says don't walk. But if there's a car coming, I'm getting the hell out of the way. The problem is some New Yorkers, he can't see the car coming.

00:22:59
Speaker 2: They don't give a shit. Well that's what happens. I don't hit me.

00:23:02
Speaker 1: Well, well, you know half of them were tourists, so they got a nice little little fucking New York cheer.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: Problem with the problem.

00:23:08
Speaker 1: With tourists is they think they're back where they're from, where you're gonna stop for them.

00:23:15
Speaker 2: So that's the two types of people.

00:23:16
Speaker 1: The New Yorkers don't give a fuck if you hit them or not, and the tourists think, Oh, they're gonna stop for me because they're nice. Like where I'm from, You're both wrong. I'm gonna run you over. Well, the New Yorkers are right, I'm gonna hit But but does this guy have a reason to curse me off when I have a clearly right green Yes, the world sucks right now and he's yelling at you because you sucked. No, but because he's gotta be yelling something, I have a green light? Is hen right?

00:23:39
Speaker 2: Is right?

00:23:42
Speaker 1: His free speech, so he has a right to do it in the right is the No, he isn't wrong.

00:23:47
Speaker 2: No, he should not have cursed you off.

00:23:48
Speaker 1: But you know you bullied, you bullied through Oh I rightfully, so dude, I'm from Brooklyn. Fuck you okay, But now when you yell fuck you right, what would have happened if the car front of you stop short and now you're stuck and the guy you just cursed out can walk right up to your car? Yeah you see, I made sure that wasn't the case. Yeah, you made sure there was Again, there was no one in front of me, so and I had another street and I was like clearly across, but I got to check that first, I let him hear it. I let him, but admit it. Admitted to the slices. You looked forward first to make sure you were clear before you curse the guy. Oh absolutely might be able to. Yeah, right, But I was at first when I was rolling through passing them. As I was, as my open window rolled right past these people, I'm.

00:24:31
Speaker 2: Like, guys, what are you doing? It's a green light, just like that, That's all I said, what are you doing? It's a green light.

00:24:37
Speaker 1: I'm driving over here, trying to drive. I had a little little driving problem this week. I I so where I live. To get to the main shopping area, yeah, there's you go on a on a relatively busy street, and then when you get to the big street, right, the big the big street. Yep, you got to make a left on a left turning signal.

00:25:01
Speaker 2: Okay. So when the left turn signal goes, you're in the left lane.

00:25:04
Speaker 1: You make a left, and then about one hundred yards south is a light.

00:25:11
Speaker 2: Okay, so you make the left. There's not the light.

00:25:15
Speaker 1: Most of the time that light is red. So when you turn, all the cars are backed up waiting for the light, and you just pull onto the end of the line of people waiting for the light to change. But every once in a while, when you make that left, if your timing is right, that light is green. But you got about eight seconds to get there. So when you make the left, you got to speed up a little bit to make that light. Okay, make the left. There's that light. Got to make that light. So you know, I drive a car that can move pretty quickly. It's not like a Porsche, but it goes and it sounds. You know, it's loud car. I got a V eight Hemi engine and he goes. You know, it makes a room sound. So sometimes it sounds faster than I'm actually going. Okay, so I make the left turn the light was the light was yellow, so I made it. Granted the guy behind me right goul to right, Thank you yellow. I make. I make the left onto the main the main street, right the main parkway, and I see the light is green. I know it's not gonna be green for long, so I hit the gas and the speed limit is I don't know, maybe forty five, maybe fifty, so I probably got it up to sixty five sixty something like that, but it's not I don't have my connisan goes zero to sixty, you know, like from ten miles an hour to like one hundred that quickly. I sped up to make the light. And I made the light, and that light was changing yellow because I know it changes quickly. As soon as I go through the light. I drive another I don't know fifty odds and I see a police call behind me.

00:26:54
Speaker 2: So I'm in the I'm in the left lane.

00:26:55
Speaker 1: I go, oh, police call now you know means scared of nothing but respect for police officer.

00:26:59
Speaker 2: Respect.

00:27:00
Speaker 1: I signal, I pull over to the right lane. I slow down so he can pass me, and he changes lanes and he's behind me. So I rolled down the window and I waved, like god, officer go around me. I'm good because I don't I'm I don't know what's going on. I'm I don't think I did anything wrong, so why would he be bhying me?

00:27:16
Speaker 2: Oh no, woooooo. So I'm like, what the fuck?

00:27:19
Speaker 1: So I pull over and like my dad, my police officer father trained me, I dropped both windows, get my licensed registration, hands on the wheel.

00:27:28
Speaker 2: I'm in.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: I'm in pulled over mode, doing everything but right by the book. Police officer gets out of the car goes to my passion's side. Oh boy, he says, roll up the other window. I said, okay, I only lowered it for you, like at a courtesy. Uhuh, he's the right, right polite. And he says, uh, you got a fast car here. Oh okay, Uh you know I pulled jover. I said, no, no, no, I don't. I honestly don't. I said, do I have a tail light out? Because I'm like, I don't. I don't break laws.

00:28:00
Speaker 2: I don't know. I know you're David Brody. Right.

00:28:03
Speaker 1: So he says, you went through a red light and you were doing seventy. So I go what he says, just you know, my body came is on. We're recording this. So I like, hey, Brody, I didn't.

00:28:19
Speaker 2: Wow, you didn't tell me this?

00:28:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I so I So, I said, I said, officer, I gotta be honest with you. I don't break laws, and I certainly don't go through red lights on purpose. I'm fairly confident the light was yellow. And also I'm pretty sure I wasn't doing seventy. Uh that that would that would be like a lot of acceleration. I just came from the light.

00:28:42
Speaker 2: At the corner. Uh.

00:28:45
Speaker 1: You know anyway. So I he goes license registration. So I give him my license registration and behind my driver's license in my wallet is my father's police ID in uniform, his ID card, and I give him the registration and the insurance and my driver's license and card. So he says, uh, here is where you're going?

00:29:05
Speaker 2: We live around here. I said, yeah, I tell them where I live. He says, oh, you're localist. Huh yeah, yeah.

00:29:09
Speaker 1: Now he was a state trooper. He wasn't from my town because the town has police cars and say the town name on them. This guy says it like county would whatever it was. He was not the town guy. Maybe he was the county I live in, if I remember correctly. So I'm shitting myself because you know, I'm like, I don't need a ticket and I don't break laws, and I don't want to be like I. Then I start thinking to myself, where could a police officer have been parked where he could not only have seen I went through a red light, but also determined my speed because in order to track my speed, I'd have to go past him perpendicular, I have to drive past the front of his car. But so I'm thinking there's a parking lot. If he was in the parking lot, he would not have been able to see the left turn signal because I was coming from the other direction.

00:29:54
Speaker 2: So there's no way he saw the light and my speed.

00:29:58
Speaker 1: So either he's lying about the light, he's lying about the speed, or because I went by fast and I went through the light, you know, he doesn't. He's like, I bet this guy went through the light because after I went through it, the light changed in the other direction.

00:30:10
Speaker 2: I think he's assuming these things.

00:30:12
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling fairly confident that, you know, he doesn't have any proof on radar that I was going because I wasn't going seventy no way, and I know.

00:30:19
Speaker 2: How to go through the light.

00:30:20
Speaker 1: So I sort of like, I sort of like sat to breathe again, and I'm like, I don't know what's going on here, but I didn't do it. So he looks at me and he goes, whose ID card is this? So it's my father's the same last name obviously, so he sees it on the card, he says, who is this? I said, that's my father. He said your father was a police officer. I said yes, for thirty or thirty two years in New York. I said, now, I gotta be honest with your officer. My father raised me not to break the law.

00:30:45
Speaker 2: I don't.

00:30:46
Speaker 1: I don't speed. I mean, you know, I don't. I try not to go through red lights on purpose, certainly not.

00:30:51
Speaker 2: I said.

00:30:52
Speaker 1: If I did, it was by accident. It's not who I am, you know. So he looks at me, he goes, uh huh. He goes, yeah, you got a fast car. Here Again, he says it, I said, looks, officer, the car does go fast, but that that's because I like the way it looked.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not a speed guy. Like, that's not why I bought the car. So he says, huh yeah.

00:31:11
Speaker 1: He says, uh, Brody, huh Brody, Brody, huh brody. Now I'm thinking he knows who I am. I mean who I used to be, right, he knows I used to be on the radio. He's given me. His eyes lit up when he said my name. So I'm like, oh, maybe he's a slice. I don't know.

00:31:27
Speaker 2: So I'm like, if he knows i'm, you know, who I used to be.

00:31:29
Speaker 1: On the radio, may make it out of me a chance, right, because I didn't because I I I did.

00:31:36
Speaker 2: I told this story.

00:31:37
Speaker 1: I got out of a I got pulled over like five or six years ago on my way to work one morning, and when I told him.

00:31:42
Speaker 2: Who I want?

00:31:43
Speaker 1: What? I was going, What is the So he says to me, he says to me, he says to me, he goes, Brody.

00:31:47
Speaker 2: Huh you know.

00:31:50
Speaker 1: Do you know what movie in the seventies had a very famous character named Brody. Now, of course, of course I do it. I said, yeah, of course, George Jeff Brody. He goes, that's right, slow down when you drive, get out here. So I answered a movie trivia question and I didn't get out of a pocket.

00:32:06
Speaker 2: I got a speaking ticket.

00:32:07
Speaker 1: I got out and I didn't give a fuck. And he didn't know that you were who you used to be or do you know? But saying my name, He's like, Brody, huh bro oh Brody. So I was like, I'm out, I'm out to movie trivia. Movie trivia me trivia gets you out of the ticket? Yeah, boom done. I love a half I love a coppy ending. If you know what I bet you do, I bet you do. By the way, speaking of cars, real quick, last week I noticed my car has I don't know, twenty miles left before it's empty. Now, normally I do a lot of local driving. I don't you know, I don't need to fill up my tank again. I give you twenty bucks, Give me thirty bucks.

00:32:49
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but we're in a war right now with one of the oil producing nations, and the straits of hormone is being affected and gas prices of skyrocketing. Well, knowing all that, I went and got gas at two eighty nine. A gallon filled up the car, and I'm like great, and then he's storing some gas. Now you packed it away.

00:33:13
Speaker 1: I should have if I had tanks to put the gas in at nine.

00:33:17
Speaker 2: Believe me, I would have.

00:33:18
Speaker 1: But I'm like I said, I said, I said, Uh, I told everyone I spoke to that day, go get gas, load up, load up, two days, loaded up, baby can get two days before it's skyrockets. Right now, gas for me is three fifty nine, so it's like seventy cents a gallon. So yesterday I go for gas because now my tank is now low since I got the discounted gas the regularly you know, cheap gas.

00:33:42
Speaker 2: So I pull into the quick check.

00:33:45
Speaker 1: And I say, uh, give me thirty dollars regular because I'm not putting. I'm not filling up my tank at three fifty nine. That's that's that's that's three years ago prices. I'm not I'm not, but you're gonna eventually have to fill it up. I mean, you're gonna use the gas anyway, might as well just but yeah, but I know, but I want that well, if it's only gonna go, you know, get right, more should get right, get get that gas right. But but at a force of habit, I said, give me thirty regular. So the guy, so my radio is on. I turned the car off and the radio is still on, and I said thirty regular. And the guy says uh uh and I said yeah. So he goes and he goes to the gas tank and he puts you know, in Jersey, they pumped the gas view and he walks away because it's quick checking. It's like thirty pumps and he's walking other people whatever, And I'm sitting there, dude to him on my phone, not paying attention. Yeah, you should have confirmed what he said. You just said, Yeah, that's that's well. Stake number that's a mistake number one right there. Yeah, so all of a sudden, click, the little little handle clicks on the gas pump.

00:34:47
Speaker 2: It's filled. I'm done. I'm great.

00:34:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you turned around around.

00:34:51
Speaker 2: That's sixty of course, because.

00:34:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you didn't confirm what it was you heard. Sorry, oh the window down and go dude, I said thirty, he says, I said filler up, and you said yeah.

00:35:05
Speaker 2: I said no, I said thirty. You said I thought.

00:35:08
Speaker 1: He said I thought he said thirty, So he didn't. So I got sixty four dollars worth of gas that fill up my car. My point is, when you know there's a war coming, go get gas. Okay, thanks, Yeah, I was on a more lighter note. I was on TikTok and this woman has a problem with eating pizza the correct way.

00:35:33
Speaker 2: Okay, didn't you send you this video? Did you send me this video because I show you live it out? Yeah, it was you who sent it. She's a rage bait video rage bait.

00:35:44
Speaker 1: She might have a point, though, She wants you to eat pizza upside down because it hits the taste buds. The cheese and the sauce hits the taste buds before the crust because the way we currently eat it, the taste buds hit the crust first bottom of the pizza, the bottom of the pizza. So I I gotta tell you she's kind of right. No, no, well, listen, I understand you gotta have all kinds of physical problems where the cheese cheese is.

00:36:14
Speaker 2: Gonna fall straight down.

00:36:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's say you got a reheated slice that's a straight you know, it's like I got a lot of crunch to it. There's no flop. Oh stop it with the fuck you turn it? You turned it upside down and you you fold it. I could kind of side in outside in. I kind of see it way. Yeah, I kind of see it that way. I kind of see I want to try it. Okay, So a couple of things. I don't you remember this because you don't remember anything about ten fifteen years ago, Elvis tried to get us to eat cheeseburger is upside down because all the toppings are on the top, and if you if you turn it upside down, you get all the toppings first, and you take your tongue would taste all the sauce and the cheese and all the toppings.

00:36:55
Speaker 2: We're not doing that either, Well, what I because you're.

00:36:58
Speaker 1: With the burger, why don't you just why don't you make the burgers, the bun, the two burgers, and then put all the leaduce, put the lettuce, tomato, and the bun in the middle, and you can just so your tongue feels the sensation of the burger. First, well, it does. If you bite the burger the regular way, you get through the bread the bread first, your tongue hits the breadth. Well, listen, if you want to do a burger sandwich burger, you're gonna I canna hold it and hold the burgers.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Hold the burgers between your fingers. Who well, who cares no as far as the pizza goes.

00:37:31
Speaker 1: First of all, if you what's the part of the pizza that burns your mouth the cheese.

00:37:35
Speaker 2: It's the cheese.

00:37:36
Speaker 1: So now you put the cheese down, it's gonna burn your tongue off. That's first of all. Second of all, you might as well just eat the cheese then, because you're biting the cheese is the best part. But that's what that's not doing it okay. Also, when you fold it the regular way, it's almost like you're squeezing the grease out like a rag.

00:37:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the grease goes through the back. You put the napkin there.

00:37:59
Speaker 1: When you fold at the grease, the grease is like you're wrenching the grease out of the cheese.

00:38:03
Speaker 2: Right.

00:38:04
Speaker 1: If you follow the other way, you're getting grease puddles. Drop it onto your tongue.

00:38:07
Speaker 2: I guess there by the way, Well, listen the video.

00:38:12
Speaker 1: The video was a rage bait video because people people who stitched it with her. She commented and said, I guess the rage bait worked. Ah, she's a she's a comedian, she's a rage bait.

00:38:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. But it made you think. I get it. It made you think. It made me stop and think, which is a miracle in himself.

00:38:33
Speaker 1: No, listen, what what we what we last to a Brooklyn Boys episode? Was it before my vacation slices?

00:38:41
Speaker 2: No, we did one. We did one coming back from vacation.

00:38:45
Speaker 1: But last week, let's see where we're coming off of an entire week of uh when oh, we went to our went to the Chefs for Kids Cancer dinner last.

00:38:56
Speaker 2: Night, which was which was a lot of fun. But at the same time, you know, very very very moving.

00:39:02
Speaker 1: There's a lot a lot going on, and Uh.

00:39:08
Speaker 2: I don't know how I can tell the story. I'm just gonna tell it because Elvis told it on the air. So it's free. It's free game, free rain now, Okay.

00:39:14
Speaker 1: So Elvis's husband Alex, decided to bid bid on a live lot.

00:39:21
Speaker 2: What is a live lot?

00:39:23
Speaker 1: That's when the person gets up there on stage by a day, they say, oh, we have a package, uh, four days and five nights at at at a villa in Tuscany.

00:39:35
Speaker 2: And you can treat it to a wine dinner. And then we're.

00:39:37
Speaker 1: Gonna start the bidding at one thousand dollars and then everyone holds up the paddle with the number on it and then you you know, you try and outbid.

00:39:45
Speaker 2: Each other until you get a winner. It's an auction. It's a live auction. So this was for.

00:39:54
Speaker 1: This was for a forty person like cocktail party at Chef Dan Klueger's private private like nightclub underneath one of his restaurants, right, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burka.

00:40:13
Speaker 2: Right. Well, it was for forty people. So that's a big party, right.

00:40:20
Speaker 1: So the bidding starts going, starts whatever, and Alex, Elvis's husband, is like, fuck it, I'm doing this. So he's bidding and he's battling his friend across the table, running up the price for a party that he was gonna be invited to.

00:40:41
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. So like he like it was going. They're going back and forth and like they think it's like a joke.

00:40:47
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? You gotta use strategy here. Anyway, the price gets way out of control. But Alex like five thousand it was a lot of money. No, no, we're not. I'm thinking out of control for David Brody. For me, five thousand is like out of.

00:41:05
Speaker 2: David Brody world.

00:41:06
Speaker 1: Anyway, Alex is playing with the with the Elvis's money, all right, I didn't say that he's playing with big bucks.

00:41:14
Speaker 2: Who's big Anyway, el Alex wins the bid.

00:41:19
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind, what's Elvis doing while he's waving this round panel. Surrounding Surrounding Alex is the Confordo family. These are the guys that basically own the pizza place Alma from Hillsboro.

00:41:35
Speaker 2: We've been talking.

00:41:35
Speaker 1: About this place, and it's the family, the mom, the dad, and the two youngest, the two sons with the girlfriend and they they become great friends with Alex. So the bid, Alex wins the bid, and the guys around him, the Conforda brothers jump up and celebrate with Alex. And Neil Patrick Harris is in the room and he's sitting on the other side.

00:42:04
Speaker 2: So what does he do.

00:42:05
Speaker 1: Him and his husband get up come running over to Alex. But by association, you got the two guys flanking Alex.

00:42:17
Speaker 2: All that your credit for they get the credit for the win. Made it look like this was a group thing.

00:42:25
Speaker 1: And so so the Neil Patrick Harris comes over and like the Confordo guys are high five of them and like so now so like this whole big group picture happens, and I just feel bad for Alex because he got upstaged by his friends who got credit and didn't put in a penny.

00:42:44
Speaker 2: So so Alex wins his party. And at the very end of the whole.

00:42:48
Speaker 1: Night, Uh, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burker come running by the way.

00:42:54
Speaker 2: You don't know Neil Patrick Harris, doogie howser hello? They come running back over. Okay, he was on how I met your mother and how I met your mother?

00:43:01
Speaker 1: I know what was Barney Stinson, right right, they comes running around, comes running around the table. You know on that show he was legend wait for it, Derry Okay, legendary legend, Darry.

00:43:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, he comes running around the side and then starts talking to them for twenty minutes. But in Neil and David's mind, yeah, it's the group of them that kind of did this, put this together. So my question is, have you ever taken credit for someone else's win?

00:43:38
Speaker 1: Yes, yesterday, yesterday? Because this is a very funny moment, but what yeah, not quite not quite the same. But listen, this is the Seinfeld episode where.

00:43:49
Speaker 2: Uh, George and George and Kramer, George.

00:43:52
Speaker 1: And Jerry go to get a salad Burlane the big salad, and when they come back, Jerry says he is the salad. So she thanks Jerry for the salad, and George's like, I paid for the salad, like the whole something to that effect where he won about no, no, no, I don't you talked about the episode with Kramer where he was sitting in the audience as a seat filler for something for the I don't know about that anyway. That so there's a guy at pickle ball. We we I don't remember who came up with the name. Could have been me, come with somebody else came up with the name. In pickle ball, if you love the ball over somebody's head, right, that that's a strategy occasionally to do that. Well, there's one guy who's very good at it, and we've we've dubbed him the lob Father, the lobby, the lob Father. Yeah, so we got him a shirt. We all agreed, let's get him a shirt. So this one guy, right, this one guy is like, I'll get the shirt. I'll order the shirt and uh and get the shirt for him. I'll find a shirt with that logo and whatever. So I found a logo, I created a logo on chet ept and then it didn't work out. He ended up finding a logo that was already made. It looks like the Godfather logo, but it says the Longfall. So he goes and he custom makes the shirt and it probably costs like thirty five dollars to get the logo the graphic on his shirt, and the company made the shirt.

00:45:13
Speaker 2: He orders the.

00:45:14
Speaker 1: Shirt and you know, so the guy was like, I'm gonna give him the shirt tonight. Great, So I say, hey, do we owe you any money? No, I got it. At least I could do for this guy. I love the guy. He's a great guy. Get love father. So after we played last night, like the six or seven of us that all kind of pal around. We get around, we get around the guy love father and uh, the guy who ordered the shirts like, hey, got this shirt for you? Yeah, thought you love the shirt and he sees it, Oh my god, this sha hella. It's good's terrific, and he starts hugging all of us, shaking our hands and hugging all of us, and not one of us said, you know, uh it was Jake paid for it.

00:45:54
Speaker 2: Right, all you got the crab. You all got the credit, got the credit.

00:45:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I didn't want to be like know because I offered money to him and he's like, don't I don't need your money. But everyone else was like, oh, you're welcome. It was on pleasure, right, if anything doing it. I put in the effort to help design the logo. That right, I was involved in the process, But I didn't pay for it. But we all got We all got it. Drop your talk back you if you've ever taken credit for someone else's win or if you've basically been a victim of that and somebody took credit for your win, I can't imagine.

00:46:27
Speaker 2: Now I have one last question.

00:46:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, so forty people, Now, you gotta think at least six or seven just after that his own friends fucking like and ran up the score on him for no reason. I'm thinking from the Morning show, minimum fifteen people are gonna be in that forty.

00:46:49
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe maybe I don't know.

00:46:52
Speaker 1: It's not my mag it's out well, but it wasn't really Alon Elvis's bidding.

00:46:56
Speaker 2: It was Alex. So he's gonna does he include the pizza guys? Are they are? They like, oh yeah, yeah, Oh they're definitely there.

00:47:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Neil Patrick would like to see them now because you know, so now when they show up, Neil's gonna assume they helped pay for it. Has, in fact, so much so that Mikey Conforido, the one of the Conforido brothers. By the way, Michael Confordo played for the Mets. That's why Michael, Yeah, different Conforido. Uh, Michael Confordo. He's like, hey, he goes look at this. Neil Patrick. Harris is following me now on Instagram he told him who he was. He owns a pizza place. Neil is all in, Neil is all in on on mikey and and it's like, wait a second, Oh, let's see if he's following Alex, because because Elvis was talking about this on the air, he goes, Neil Patrick Harris isn't following me, but he's following Mike.

00:47:52
Speaker 2: Todd.

00:47:53
Speaker 1: Did Elvis we've interviewed Elvis has interviewed him. Yeah, we had him on the show, him in the studio, we got to meet him.

00:48:03
Speaker 2: Did he remember Elvis? Or did Elvis say, hey, their pats?

00:48:06
Speaker 1: Of course a lot. Elvis was on stage for this. Elvis is on stage every year for this. They go to interior decorator shows together, and Neil doesn't follow Elvis.

00:48:16
Speaker 2: Wow, let's follow Let's see he's following Alex though, hold on, let's follow here.

00:48:22
Speaker 1: Uh. You imagine Neil Patrick Harris and his husband invite the Confordos out to like the Hampton's and don't invite Alex.

00:48:31
Speaker 2: Like they partner up with those guys. Oh, poor Alex. Neil Neil Patrick Harris, let's see n p h uh eight eight point eight million followers, he's following from my friends Mikey Confordo. Uh huh huh, that's it. Wow, nobody cares.

00:48:55
Speaker 1: Right, our friendly that's it. Oh my god. All right, all right, well there you go. All right, poor Al, you know what, poor Alex? Yeah, all right, well, poor Elvis. I mean, the two of them, they have to pay for whatever this party was. Couldn't have been an expensive I mean it's tax right off. It's a great cause, but it still a lot of money. So I hope to have it. I hope they have a great time. I would imagine they can have a great time. It's Elvis and Alex know how to party, so I think, yeah, anyway, yeah, I thought that was I thought that was worth bringing up because I don't know. I mean again, I would never be able to. I would actually have to tell Neal and say, hey, just just for the record, it's not my not my bid, not my money. But yeah, hey you know what, we didn't bid, but we're we're thrilled for you. Well listen, Indirectly, the Confordo family helped run the price up, so they were involved in the amount of money that was eventually rewarded.

00:49:51
Speaker 2: So all right, we'll take a break all right, I'll be right back. Yeah, it's.

00:49:58
Speaker 1: That was now U great jingle that that I wrote right before that commercial break? No, no, you don't get credit for that. No, you know that was my jingle, you know. No, No, it was not the one that said it's the Brooklyn podcast. Yeah, and and tell me what the original jingle was. Where did I get that music from?

00:50:20
Speaker 2: I have no idea because it was yours. Yeah, but you tucked on a cat scale. I forgot about that. Yeah.

00:50:26
Speaker 1: Well I'm a creative person. So they still run those commercials I have. I have not heard that in a very long time. I have not heard that commercial. Hey is this our last break?

00:50:34
Speaker 2: No it's not. We got more. There's still more to come because I have I have a big story and it's getting late. So I want to boys podcast. So I want to.

00:50:43
Speaker 1: Ask the slices what you would do and what you think I did because I went out for dinner a few nights ago to I'm not gonna say the name of a place, but it's a casual dining place and uh, we went to sit at the bar and watch the World Baseball Classic sou we were being served by the bartender. This very nice young woman bartender and I ordered. I ordered an entree and my appetizer was Mozzrelli sticks. And the Muzzirella sticks there are not inexpensive. They're probably twelve or thirteen fourteen dollars eight. Yeah, they're very good. I mean, I don't know if they're a handmade. But okay, Oh, I have to call you out on something. Something's happening.

00:51:33
Speaker 2: I call you out on. I'll get to that in a minute. So well, call gauging topic here.

00:51:38
Speaker 1: No, I got the TV on in the background, and it just reminded me that you're a terrible person. Do you want me to change the topic. Well, let's finish the Mozzarelli sticks story. Okay, So I get five Muzzirella sticks. I get four of them that looked like my middle finger, okay, just for size purposes, big long, round, beautifully breaded, and I've had them there for I know they're delicious. And one of them that looks like my pinky. Oh, it's a mutant or if uh or half a sock. Maybe it's like less than two thirds the size of a real muzzerell st.

00:52:14
Speaker 2: It's the run, it's it's the runt of the litter.

00:52:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it looks like cigar cigar, cigar, marijuana joint. Like, that's what it looks like. So I know I'm supposed to get five. I've ordered there before. It wasn't like I was. I was supposed to get four and I got a bonus one, supposed to get five. So eventually the bartender comes round, How is everything now? What what am I hoping for? By when I when she asked me, how everything is?

00:52:44
Speaker 2: What am I? What am I looking for in this point? What am I gonna?

00:52:48
Speaker 1: Obviously we know that you want to say something about the runty little um half a Mozzarella stick, right, So so that's already on your mind, right, somehow it has to come out right.

00:53:00
Speaker 2: It's a matter of wind, right.

00:53:02
Speaker 1: And so when I so, I uh, I said, well, you know, uh, look at this Mozzerell stick. And I hold up one of the big ones and the little one, and I said, I think there's a problem with this Monzrell stick. Now, what would David Brody want to happen at that point? David Brody would want them to either a comp the Mzzarelli sticks or at the very least, at the very least or b give him a free order of Mozerel sticks next time he's there, because he's a regular. Something easier, easier than that. Just another an extra, another order right on the spot. No, just give me one mozrel stick. Just go get me who one normal? I'm not asking for much. Oh well, dude, usually you do so usually you you know, you give your finger, you take the whole arm.

00:53:59
Speaker 2: So so all right, so.

00:54:00
Speaker 1: So ezy top is eazy top. I didn't ask you for much. Just look, give for some tush so I So, so I'm looking at her, and she just really says to me, oh, the kitchen, I have no idea what's going on in the kitchen today.

00:54:14
Speaker 2: And walks away kitchen. That's what she said.

00:54:20
Speaker 1: Just now, huh, I have no idea what's going on with the kitchen today.

00:54:24
Speaker 2: Okay, now see now that is that's wrong now because she thinks I'm saying, like, isn't this funny?

00:54:30
Speaker 1: It's well, it's well within her power to go in and even if it's she does it in a cute see way to give you a free mutsie stick and put it on a plate and serve it to you, saying here is a full size Muzarella stick. Right, yeah, right, nope, because you go to places that just exude bad service. Now did she say, you know what, I'll take the soda off your order or not. No, I wanted five months, anyone's four and a half because these places suck. How does the kitchen see that I got a shriveled up little mozzerell stick and go fuck it? Give him four in that one and not go throw that one out or give it to him as a bonus one. Give a bone in five a bonus one that could be a bonus one, right, you know what that you know what it would be like? You know when you order French fries and is an onion ring sitting in there? Yeah, you're like, oh, bonus onion ring, bonus, give me the extra five and a half Monzrell sticks for the price of five. I love this place. Now I'm thinking that's bullshit. It is, but I should have taken a picture of it. I should have taken a picture posted on Instagram like what the fuck? But instead I got four I got, you know I did. I got four fingers and a pinky, That's what I got a little ring on my thumb now now you I'm shocked that you look to get away with this. I was so shocked by the response to the balltender that she was like, huh, I can't blae, I don't know what's going with the kitchen today. She walked away like like those crazy bastards, and then she walked around the bar.

00:56:03
Speaker 2: It's a square bar.

00:56:04
Speaker 1: She went to the other side of the bar, and she's talking to other people, helping them out, so I can't get her attention. Her backs to me because it's a square bar, so the outside of the bar, the bottles are all in the middle, So I'm like, what am I gonna get up and go around the bar?

00:56:17
Speaker 2: Like? Oh? So by the time she ever came back to me, I was already done eating. So very disappointing, very dope slices. Should I have gotten up? Should I have what? Should I have done? On?

00:56:28
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go for the gusto and ask for the free dessert, but you know what giving you I think in this case, giving you a free mutsie stick would have been the right thing to do, or at least she should have asked you the question and said, oh my god, that's terrible.

00:56:45
Speaker 2: Would you like me to get you another one? Done? Right? I guess what? Fuck you? Claire?

00:56:51
Speaker 1: Fuck you, because that's that was who she was. It was Claire, Fuck you Claire.

00:56:57
Speaker 2: You know what?

00:56:57
Speaker 1: I should have said, Hey, excuse me, I get another Montreial stick. This one's too small. But instead I left it up to her. That's my problem.

00:57:04
Speaker 2: I left. That was my mistake, scary. I left up to her.

00:57:06
Speaker 1: I said, hey, uh, look at what she thought? Always be like, hey, get a load of this right?

00:57:12
Speaker 2: Funny? Is that right? Look at a run but trail stick? No?

00:57:15
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't pointing it. I wasn't like, hey, this chip, potato chip looks like Jesus. I was like, hey, this this mo Trelli stick? Is a fair question?

00:57:22
Speaker 2: Is are you going to say something next time? No?

00:57:26
Speaker 1: No, because because I'm I'm going there a fair amount of times. And it wasn't Tommy's because I know I mentioned Tommy's. You want to know, well, No, yeah, I in good in good graces with them, right okay, but before before we take another break, I do have them. I do have a bone to pick with Tommy's. You know I love Tommy's taving and tap love them. I'm there all the time. Now it's not really a bone, it's not really the fault, but it's a bone for David Brody. So they have seasonal menus. Okay, so every three months there's a specialty menu in addition to the regular menu. I love the regular menu, but the specialty menu all has awesome things. So, for instance, in the fall menu, they have something called the gobbler, which is this massive mound of bread and turkey and stuffing and gravy and sweet potato fries and marshmallows, sauce.

00:58:14
Speaker 2: The gobbler. It's awesome. I look forward to it every year at Tommy's. That was my first girlfriend. She was the gobbler. Nice. Nice.

00:58:23
Speaker 1: So they also always have a flatbread special, right, always one of the pizzas of flatbread. So for the fall they had a steak, a steak and provolone with a sesame seed cross flatbread. It was scary, it was outrageous, outrageous. Then all of a sudden it's gone. Now the winter menu flatbread is a smoked I think it's a smoked Gouda cheese with an onion infused. A smoke gooda cheese with a with sliced steak and red pepper.

00:59:03
Speaker 2: I think they normally put a rugel on top. But I get about your room. It's awesome. I got it.

00:59:09
Speaker 1: I went there every week for it, almost every week, loved it. I went back last week and I said, oh, and the and the bartenders know me, and I said, hey, uh, let me have the uh steak the steak flatbread.

00:59:24
Speaker 2: Oh I'm so sorry.

00:59:25
Speaker 1: We already switched to the spring menu. So I would like to reiterate, scary, the steak and provolone. Then it was the steak and cheese sauce with the onion and the aguda and the red pepper, the flatbread for this three months scary.

00:59:44
Speaker 2: Ready? Yep, what would you think?

00:59:47
Speaker 1: We went from steak and provolone steak and onion with red pepper.

00:59:52
Speaker 2: What are we looking at for the spring.

00:59:55
Speaker 1: Steak and caramelized onion or something? Oh right, that'd be nice if I liked onion. I don't, but like something like a little bit more, you know, for the next have some blues next three months? Yeah, blueberry and pair Wait what blueberry and pear flatbread pizza?

01:00:15
Speaker 2: What the hell kind of combination is that? I don't know that I don't know that is outgeous.

01:00:24
Speaker 1: I ended up ordering the shrimp scampy pizza flatbread because that's awesome and again, nothing but love.

01:00:29
Speaker 2: I'm there all the time.

01:00:30
Speaker 1: The food is fantastic, The caesar sounds outrageously good. The Asian ribs, I mean, the the the bang bang like fifty to fifty shrimp colomari amazing, nothing but love.

01:00:42
Speaker 2: But that's just not me. Now.

01:00:44
Speaker 1: People may love it, but I'm going from steak and cheese, steak and cheese to blueberry and pair flatbread pizza. And the flatbread pizza scary is like fifteen inches wa by somebody from the West Coast that there's only what these people don't know pizza.

01:01:01
Speaker 2: Well they do though, that's the thing. The food there is amazing.

01:01:05
Speaker 1: I just don't get why you blueberry and who's putting blueberry and pear on a just not doing it?

01:01:11
Speaker 2: Slices.

01:01:11
Speaker 1: Are you ordering a blueberry pant pizza? Death des des? Are you ordering blueberry pant pizza?

01:01:17
Speaker 2: No?

01:01:17
Speaker 1: No, because especially Jenny from Brooklyn, Vinnie, come on, so scary.

01:01:22
Speaker 2: You love all the food food stuff? Are you ordering it all? No?

01:01:25
Speaker 1: I'm not, No, I'm not, but you know you know back in the day when we were you know, the Locerto's, our friend the Licerto's, they had their their their sandwich shop and Hoboken. Yeah, they would pair things like they would No, no, the fig and the pig, the fig with like a prejute because it's sweet with salty. Oh Sam, I get that. But the pear and the blueberry don't go together. I don't know, not for me at least. Yeah, that's awful. All right, well, and I again not looking to knock again. Love love the place just from me. That's a strike that strike me. Let's take a break. Okay, all right, my mouth is watering, but not for blueberry impairt.

01:02:11
Speaker 2: Uh I Oh, I've got to rip you for something. You you go first, please, This is a what is your ethnic background? Italian? Italian? Italian?

01:02:27
Speaker 1: You're and you're proud of your Italian ancestry, and I am uh you know that on the Italian flag stickers on the back of cars it should be green white red, not red white green. That is correct, right, you're very proud of your Italian heritage. You've even finally been to Italy. I've been at least several times now, and I can't wait to go back again.

01:02:49
Speaker 2: Now.

01:02:50
Speaker 1: May be planning a trip family trip this summer to uh to Italy. So we're gonna go to maybe Pooglia if we can get oh very nice got there. It's gonna be fun. Yeah, hopefully.

01:03:04
Speaker 2: So. Your last name is Chiare, your name is Anthony. Couldn't be more time. Your father's first name is what Anthony? Tony?

01:03:13
Speaker 1: Anthony again, Tony, couldn't be more Italian. I got a TV on in the background, and after coming off of victory beating the USA Palahouse team the Italian Baseball Classic, the Italian team, by the way, scared. You know what they do after they hit a home run, the Italian team in the World Baseball Classic.

01:03:30
Speaker 2: They do a shot of espresso. That's right, could have and they put on what do they put on? Scared?

01:03:35
Speaker 1: You know what they put on? They put on their uh what they put on? What they put on? An Armani jacket. You put on Armani jacket and there was a shot of espresso. You couldn't get more Italian than that. Last night as we're taping this, as we're recording this, they beat the American team the shot herd around the world.

01:03:54
Speaker 2: Did you watch the game. I did not watch the game. Not favorite to advance tonight.

01:04:01
Speaker 1: As we speak, right now, Italy is playing Mexico. If Italy wins, not only do they advance to the quarterfinals, but America advances in a quarterfinals. If Mexico wins by less than five runs, Italy and Mexico go in and America is out.

01:04:21
Speaker 2: But before you continue, are there any American baseball players playing in this? Which team America? Yes? For America, Yeah, Americans, your dumb ass, Yes, dude.

01:04:36
Speaker 1: Aaron Judges on the team. Half the Phillies are on the team. Dylan McLain from the Mets is on the team we're talking about. I'm not watching with j Yes, everyone, they are.

01:04:48
Speaker 2: All major leaguers. This is like an all star team.

01:04:51
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I'm not watching it. It's not on my radar. But okay, I've been I don't know if you know. I've been, you know, in the middle of moving the past two weeks.

01:04:59
Speaker 2: And I have a store.

01:05:00
Speaker 1: I've got no TV's on my roll yet, there's no TVs in my apartment.

01:05:03
Speaker 2: I'm lucky you have internet service. Yes.

01:05:06
Speaker 1: The story of the World Baseball Classic right now is Team Italy, Fortas Italia, Fortune Italia.

01:05:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and right now they're playing Mexico. And not only is Italy playing.

01:05:19
Speaker 1: For themselves, but if they win America America with them, I am what is more American than Italy fighting for America America?

01:05:28
Speaker 2: Italy fighting for Italy and you are not watching it? Oh so you want no knowledge of it?

01:05:34
Speaker 1: Well, you're ripping me first of all, because I want to get a podcast off the ground, so the slices can have an episode. So but you can be recording it. You could be recording how I don't have TVs Brunie. You have to understand. I mean I've got you don't know. You don't understand. I just today got my TV delivery tomorrow they're gonna be hung on the wall. I just got internet service three days days ago. We just got back on the air. My priorities are very different right now. I'm this is out of the basics to survive. Now have I been? If I was in my apartment hanging out, I was all bulled in, I was relaxed. Of course, I'd know all about it. I'd see everybody playing. I'd be like fort Tahlia, I would be all about it. But brody, when you're living in a fucking cave right now, in box out of boxes, like I am worrying when my fucking sofa is gonna get here and trying to dig my cables out of the fucking box. I have other priorities. It's like, have you tried to esk your own cable?

01:06:41
Speaker 2: You know?

01:06:43
Speaker 1: By the way in Italy against TM USA? Who would your root for Team USA? Okay, I'm America, America. First, come on now when I'm sitting there. And then now when you think about the like life and what it takes and what it's me okay, to survive, you have the basic necessities first, like shelter, clothing. Then you build on that stuff with and as the pyramid gets higher, become the less important things, so so the survival part. As the pyramid gets higher, it's more important at the top of their.

01:07:24
Speaker 2: Less you need a foundation.

01:07:27
Speaker 1: No no, no, you put shelter and clothing and food at the bottom as the base of the foundation. Because but how can I worry about doing a podcast if I'm starving and I don't have food? How do I worry about? How do I worry about the baseball? Watching the baseball classic. If I don't have a place to live, how do I worry about driving a car, driving a car and filling it with gas? If if I don't have if I don't have a shelter or job, right, you know what I'm saying. Like, So my point is like there are things that come first. There's there's your your your your food, your shelter, your clothing, your right yeah, ca and your and your job, and then you start building off of that. So because I'm not settled right now, for the past three weeks, I can't even fucking think about if I want to have a boogie dinner with my girlfriend. I can't think about making plans. Do you know, Slices don't get upset but you're hanging out with Neil Patrick Harris de Slices. Do you know we have another vacation coming up after God the day after Easter. We're off that whole week after that. Do you know, here we are, in the middle of March. I haven't even thought about or planned a vacation. Oh my god, your poor bastard.

01:08:42
Speaker 2: Because there's an order of importance.

01:08:44
Speaker 1: Yes, I know, I know. Once again, I'm going out of boxes. I'm not settled my brain is all over the place. And you know, slices, if you've ever moved, and why don't you take a vacation and then unpack everything while you're on vacation, stay home, get your house ready, I build a foundation.

01:09:01
Speaker 2: It may come down to that. Where where is a ruba in the pyramid?

01:09:04
Speaker 1: If I'm not settled, it's on the top, because no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's it's it's it's further away. If if I don't have all my furniture and I'm not settled in this place, I can't think about going to a ruba.

01:09:16
Speaker 2: I'm already. I think.

01:09:17
Speaker 1: I think every slice knows right now, if you still have boxes when you go on vacation in April, you're out of there.

01:09:22
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And then.

01:09:23
Speaker 1: You're gonna and then you're gonna. Then you're gonna say I needed to get away. It was overwhelming. I worked so hard, I earned a vacation, My move was streighted.

01:09:30
Speaker 2: It wore me out.

01:09:31
Speaker 1: Okay, So like you know that it's important for me to go to the gym right because it's been one of the things that have been my priority.

01:09:37
Speaker 2: Right. I can't go to the gym tomorrow.

01:09:39
Speaker 1: Because they're gonna be guys in my house drilling holes in my fucking walls trying to hang these TVs. I gotta rush home after the show and make sure I'm here for that. You can't drill your own holes to hang in television.

01:09:52
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta find the beam. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta drill into the bea.

01:09:56
Speaker 1: Get a stunt finder. You gotta put a racket mount in racktor?

01:09:59
Speaker 2: What do you hang?

01:10:00
Speaker 1: And then I'll do it for half. You are not going to do this. This isn't the fucking what are you? Home improvement?

01:10:06
Speaker 2: You dude?

01:10:08
Speaker 1: Any Okay, so you remember, So let's let's talk about stereotypes. Most straight men can hang in television, but can you drive? I've hung a lot of time. Yes, I don't trust myself, so I have to have somebody to do it. Anyway, the word I got three TVs to hang up and and so anyway, my point as I think, so yeah, So, so you asked me about the World Baseball Classic and who's on?

01:10:32
Speaker 2: Are you know?

01:10:32
Speaker 1: Not even paying attention? Italy is winning six nothing over Mexico. It's unheard of.

01:10:36
Speaker 2: Dude.

01:10:36
Speaker 1: I'm lucky, I know, that there's a war going on, and I ran right now. It's been the best distraction. This move has been the best distraction because I'm outside of social way. It's not not award, it's an excursion, which, by the way, whatever it's like, whatever we're doing, it's almost finished. It's a war, whatever's going on. My point is you'renoring distraction. I'm ignoring everything. So I'm just worried about getting you know, like like my clothes put into my closets and my what am I doing with all the extra stuck my storage unit? Here's what I would say. Gas prices are going so high right now? No, No, I think when you get guests next time, you should turn the engine off the same gas. That's how the prices are going high. All right, Hopefully next week we'll have more together. I wanted to go ranting today about well, I'll tease you. Let me ask you this, brody.

01:11:29
Speaker 2: Yes? Should should I pay.

01:11:34
Speaker 1: A move out fee from my previous apartment as a as an original owner of that unit for nineteen years?

01:11:41
Speaker 2: Hm?

01:11:43
Speaker 1: They fucking hammered me out for five hundred dollars a nonble five hundred dollars as a move out fee a move for what they don't They don't have to redo your apartment. You didn't, you didn't go on rent.

01:11:54
Speaker 2: It's a move out. It's a move out of the building fee.

01:11:56
Speaker 1: It's like it's the association saying, here's a I'm gonna, we're gonna here's a cash grab. Was that in your contract when you moved in? When I moved in, it was not part of the original deed. The price wasn't I'll tell you what. It wasn't five hundred. If anything, it might have been one hundred hundred and fifty. But at the very least I should be entitled to two thousand and seven prices because I'm an og owner.

01:12:20
Speaker 2: And why is it the longer I stay, the more I pay?

01:12:24
Speaker 1: Well, what is the money being used for them for the wear and tear the hallway which just goes carpet in the hallway just goes into the association's fee. It's it's a fucking money grab. And what happens if you don't pay it? Well, I need I needed to pay it in order to get the elevator to move out that day. You have to They fucking ball a cashiers check. But they haven't cashed it yet because I have a gripe and I'm complaining about it, and you know, I don't want to.

01:12:52
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into it and name names. Right now he's working on it.

01:12:55
Speaker 1: But apparently this is the executive board that put these laws into places. I'm like, oh, you mean the executive board of the people that have been here for three or four years and and I've been here fucking nineteen.

01:13:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?

01:13:08
Speaker 1: I'm Scary Jones, and I don't want VIP treatment because I am Hawaiian.

01:13:13
Speaker 2: And oh you're og though Ogg.

01:13:16
Speaker 1: And what if one of the other ogs decides to move out of twenty thirty the price one thousand dollars.

01:13:22
Speaker 2: You know, that's fucked up. That's fucked up.

01:13:24
Speaker 1: Now, Was it was an elevator rental fee? Because if it's an elevator rental, no, it's not, it's not. I've already determined that. In fact, I have put down another thousand dollars security deposit. That's the fucked up that that is I got back, because that is if you fuck up the elevators, the carpets. So with the place we left an immaculate we're fine, I got my money back on that. This is the non refundable. You're moving out. Let's hammer you over the head. Here's a gut punch. Let's punch you in the face with five hundred bucks for no reason. And there's a move infee too. Anyway, I don't know if I can get it too that lay next. I just kind of did, right, But they were, they're working on it. They're gonna try and see if that can make an appeal. I think it's bullshit. I don't know, slices, if you heard of such a thing. Now, if you rent it's it may be different. I'm an owner. I would when you sell your apartment, I would charge the person who you are selling the apartment to a five hundred dollar moving into my apartment.

01:14:22
Speaker 2: Faith exactly. I don't know.

01:14:25
Speaker 1: It set me off. I was so bent I had. I had a fight with the guy. I probably shouldn't have gotten as loud as I did, because it was because it's because he's just kind of a punching bag and he's sitting there like taking it, and it's not his choice. He just has to enforce it. So you know, it's the the e board, the backwards board, in my in my previous building. But all right, honestly, I'm hoping they come to the table and they do the right thing. But that's like when they fuck you get the drive through. They funked you on the way out, they fucked you on the way out. Well, we'll see next week. Next week, I'll have an update for you on that.

01:15:00
Speaker 2: All right? Is that all? You want to go watch your baseball classic? No? You said we have one break? That was the break. That's four. We're good. We're good. Five breaks. We're good. Oh, we're good, We're good.

01:15:12

All right, And we're gonna the closer you are to find so uh We're gonna do a slice time on time, an episode on time.
