00:00:16
Speaker 2: Brody says, it's episode three three one. It's the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. I really thought we were up to thirty thirty two. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Brody, you're getting behind yourself.

00:00:28
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're doing, but asking me what episode it is as this song is playing, Well, that's what we do here.

00:00:33
Speaker 2: It's not foolish. I don't we're episode three thirty one.

00:00:38
Speaker 3: But we've been talking for twenty minutes before we started the podcast. You think that would have come up in conversation.

00:00:41
Speaker 2: You think it would have I don't know. How are we up to three thirty one? Ors it's three thirty two? No, it's three thirty one. I see you wearing your no Sleep Till Iowa. Uh, Brooklyn, Iowa. I love my no Sleep Till Brooklyn iowas as I as do I because there is a Brooklyn, Iowa. But yeah, the picture, it's a visual. It's the state of Iowa and the little dot and it says Brooklyn because that's where Brooklyn is in Iowa. That says no sleep till Brooklyn, the state of Iowa. I love it. Everyone gets well, some people don't. You'd have to know. But anyway, Uh, if you don't know, now you know, now you know. But people, someone bought me this. It was actually a slice slice at our brook our meat market when we had our our meet up, the Brooklyn Boys meet Up m e a t where we took everyone out to a steakhouse. That was a good time. I'm still waiting for a follow up if we're going to do a something else. We're trying to get something else going.

00:01:41
Speaker 3: And that's up for the sales department and locations that want to house us and.

00:01:46
Speaker 2: Us who wants to host us. Yeah, you know it's funny. A friend of mine she uh, She's like, hey, so my friend's got a Greek restaurant and wants you to come to dinner with me and we want to you know, have a nice meal or so, and you know, maybe you can say something on the radio about it. I'm like, oh, well maybe maybe not. I said, I don't know, I can't really promise that. So I left it right there and I didn't go to dinner. So today we were advertising for a client, David Busters, because I'm going to be going up there to Rockland County shortly after this podcast. You hit the jingle sponsor, they're a sponsor, Yeah, so you don't have to have me hit the jingle. But anyway, so I was, I was Elvis and I were talking about it on the radio, and then my friend's friend who owns the restaurant, says, Hey, I just heart Scary on the air talking about how he's going up to David Busters and Zee one hundred and the whole thing in this afternoon, and hey, how can we get that for our restaurant. How can we have him come and broadcast live and we could do that. Yeah, that would be great. That would really help the restaurant's progress, and it could make the restaurant like you know, it would fill our seats and people would know all about us. So it got me to think it, Dear David Brody, people don't realize how it works. They think we run it. They think that we're running a charity here or something. I don't know. I mean, we do charities, we take part in them, but if you think about it, I mean, maybe people don't know. And I'm assuming because we're too close to the situation that radio stations are. Indeed, business is for profit, like right, I mean, the whole idea is to is to sell advertising, make money, earn revenue, pay the people that work there, and and make money for the company. That's pretty much what radio is, unless you're talking about PBS and publicly funded broadcast that's excluded. That is for profit, I mean for a nonprofit. But it's amazing how the person didn't understand that Dave and Busters are they're actually partners of ours. There's obviously money exchanged. And then they they advertise on the radio, they buy radio campaigns. They want to advertise their product and get access to our followers, our listeners, if you may, and that there's a whole there's a business model. There's a business model going on. But when I told how to explain that to him through my friend, he went back and he came back he was, oh, I didn't know that. So obviously there are people out there that think that that we exist to randomly go on a Friday afternoon to just go hang out at a place. Now it is fun at the same time, we're getting paid to have fun. But no, but you know my initials are dB. You're a dB. You're a dB fan, But you know it's it's crazy. But maybe some slight slices know that does everybody? Is everybody on board that radio is actually a business for profit? I don't know, because this guy who owns this restaurant had no no clue, no clue. He thought that we just oh, yeah, I'm gonna call up a radio station and then you're gonna bring the van down and they're gonna they're gonna broadcat. They're gonna go live from my restaurant and they're gonna fill it up, and they're gonna fill the restaurant and people are gonna hang out. And I don't know. I just maybe I'm thinking too much of some people. I don't know. You're very preoccupied, Brody, very preoccupied. Something's going on. Something's up, something's up with you right now. I'm all right, you're staring blankly at the screen. What's going on? Okay, So hold on. So I'm completely listening to you. I know you are. I heard everything you said.

00:05:42
Speaker 3: But in the background, which I mentioned you before, my camera software has decided to do a complete update and it crashes ninety percent through the update.

00:05:52
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're not seeing me having a I'm having a problem with the camera, So okay, but you don't. You don't need the camera because luckily this is an audio podcast. It was your idea to not do video. I get I get I get that.

00:06:03
Speaker 3: I get that, I get that, But we like to see each other during the podcast, and I'm having a problem.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: I don't said.

00:06:10
Speaker 3: If David Buster would like to sponsor the brook thank you very much. If David Buster would like to sponsor the The Brooklyn Boys podcast and have us broadcast live or do a meet and greet at David Busters.

00:06:20
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna do for free.

00:06:21
Speaker 3: According to this restaurant owner, we just show up, you give me game tokens and some some appetizers.

00:06:26
Speaker 2: I would I would consider it. Oh is that all it takes? Yeah, I'm easy. It's like I used to play comedy clubs for like free nachos. Is that right?

00:06:36
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, back in the day, like when we were first thoughting out, they wouldn't really pay you. They would they were like, oh, we'll give you free food, right.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: iHeart Radio is not exactly just starting out though, so we really can't offer those services for free. No, No, that's correct. I just love it. Yeah, just stop, bring the radio equipment, bring the van. Everybody, just show up, come to the restaurant.

00:06:58
Speaker 3: Spend five thousand dollars of time and energy and labor and energy and people power.

00:07:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just and uh talk to the three million people and tell them to come to my restaurant. Tell them to come to my restaurant. Right, I don't know, give us one hundred thousand dollars in radio advertising. Where do people come off?

00:07:19
Speaker 3: I think I don't know if everyone understands the business model of television and radio.

00:07:23
Speaker 2: That's well, that's why I'm asked. That's why I'm throwing it out there. That's why this is interesting to me, because because I told this to my girlfriend already and she goes, you know, you're very close to the situation. Not everybody realizes that, you know, there's a there's a business model behind it. Because because I was like, this is a preposterous thing that was asked of me. Yeah, I'm just gonna bring the radio station down there. We're gonna we're gonna go live from your from your restaurant. I don't know, I have to give you free food. I guess then, is that right? Okay, just I don't know. But that's why I threw it out there, because I really wanted to know am I crazy? Because I gave people too much credit in thinking that.

00:08:04
Speaker 3: Oh, you're definitely crazy. Well there's that anyway, there's that, Okay, So i'll uh, by the way, so later on in the in the podcast, I know you hate when I tease stuff, but we're talking about restaurants, and uh, I had a great lunch at aunt Butchi's in Staten Island.

00:08:22
Speaker 2: There's not a sponsor, not a sponsor. They have like four or five locations. Uh.

00:08:27
Speaker 3: But aunt Butcher's the guy Pete who one of the owners of ant Puchies. And by the way, ant Butchi was the nickname of their aunt.

00:08:32
Speaker 2: To a woman. Oh uh.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: He brought up food many years ago to the morning show and gave his gift cards. So I went and used his gift card.

00:08:44
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the food, the food's terrific. So I had.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: I had my lunch with the Brooklyn boys, my Brooklyn boys at ant Butchi's. It's that out which I'll tell you about later. But I I did want to talk to you real quick to if I have time here. Sure, I want to talk to you about about pickleball, because at a pickleball incident.

00:09:02
Speaker 2: So incident, you know, incident. Yeah.

00:09:04
Speaker 3: So I'm currently rated by by the pickleball people, the gods pickleball gods at a at A A three point zero, which is like intermediate. It goes up to I think five or six. But I'm a three and I need to get reevaluated. I'm probably more of a three two five. But you know, when you are three, you can only register to play up against people who are three two five or two seven five. You can go a little up, a little down, but you can't play against three five and up. Okay, yeah, Well, on Monday nights they do this thing called live ball. You don't play pick a ball. You don't know what I'm talking About's fine, I'll explain it real quick. There's a coach or like a guy who works there, and you don't serve. You have two people who play at the baseline in other words, the furthest part from the net, and the other people another team play up at the kitchen so close to the net, and the guy who works there throws the ball in like it's a serve and you have to beat the two people at the kitchen two points in a row, and then you rotate around and you become the kitchen and you score points if you keep people from taking over.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: It's like war.

00:10:11
Speaker 3: It's just a different type of pickle ball that somebody came up with, and it's very fast, very fat, and wears you out. Well, only three five and above can register to play this, so I can't play with those guys. But a couple of the people I play with at three two five are three fives. They can play, so there's some people doing it that I know. Okay, anyway, I'm playing with the people on my level. I regised in six to seven thirty on Monday night and I'm start in the middle of a game with the people at my level.

00:10:36
Speaker 2: We're having a good time and I'm winning because I'm I'm happy to be winning.

00:10:40
Speaker 3: And this guy and the coach guy walk on to my court where I'm playing and say, hey, we're short a guy because they have to have an even number. Do you want to come play with us? Andy said, Andy's my friend. He goes, Andy says, you're good enough to hang with us. Wow, So they want to advance you past. What you think you can perform it?

00:11:01
Speaker 2: Oh?

00:11:01
Speaker 3: What I'm allowed to compete? I haven't been I haven't taken the time to have them re rate me. So but he goes, Andy thinks you're good enough to hang and h we need somebody desperately. We can't play without an eating gotcha. I understand that.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:11:13
Speaker 3: So I'm like, oh, oh, okay, you got the call. I got the call. So there's there's seven people, and i'd be the eighth person.

00:11:22
Speaker 2: I made it to. Well, yeah, okay.

00:11:24
Speaker 3: So the coach has the clipboard and he says, all right, we're gonna start up with two teams. Uh David and the bald guy. I don't I don't know his name, and for the sake of the story, wouldn't ca him.

00:11:35
Speaker 2: The ball guy.

00:11:35
Speaker 3: Uh Andy with this guy, and Rob with that guy. And they team everybody up. And so the first the first round is me and and this balld guy. So all right, so I'm on the right, he's on the left. Now, if you know how how you swing your paddle, if you're on the right, that means your backhand is on the left.

00:11:57
Speaker 2: Hand, right paddle right. I'm a leftist, so I want to be on the right because that's my forehand. Yeah.

00:12:03
Speaker 3: So the space between you is better for the other guy because it's his forehand. Yep, his right hand, all right, Matthews, thank you space between Sorry.

00:12:15
Speaker 2: Anyway, that being.

00:12:16
Speaker 3: Said, when the ball is directly up the middle, you can I can use my backhand and whack the ball.

00:12:22
Speaker 2: I don't have to show to him. Okay, yep, okay. So we had a good rally, like three fourth back and forth, back and forth. They're slamming.

00:12:30
Speaker 3: I'm hitting back and then a ball comes right up the middle. Now I'm up by the net and he's a little further back. So as the ball's coming, it's getting to me first. So I whack the ball and I hit it out whatever. He says, hey to me. He looks at me and he goes forehand, and he stares at me with an angry look. So I stare at him like, what the fuck are you staring at me? He goes, that's my forehand, bro, I go, your backhand is his forehand, right.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: In other words, I shouldn't hit the right He should have taken it and hit it with his forehand, right.

00:13:10
Speaker 3: But I but I took it because I was close enough to it, and I had a shot, right, But that's the way.

00:13:16
Speaker 2: He speaks to me.

00:13:16
Speaker 3: I'm there doing them a favor, and he goes bro forehand.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I don't like this guy already. I don't like this guy ready.

00:13:26
Speaker 3: So we continue to point whatever we lose, and we get off the court, and then the other the next team gets on and they try to beat the guys at the kitchen. Yeah, and you rotated, So I go with and and go, what the fuck is what that guy? He goes, Oh, he's a dick. Everyone knows he's a deck. He's a fucking asshole. He just thoughts with everybody. He's Joe competition. He thinks it's for real. Yeah, yeah, he's hardcore. I hate people like that. Take it way too seriously. Should have gone pro. Never did stuck in the miners. Now he's playing street pickleball with the community after After each fifteen minutes, you rotate who your teammate is. So eventually I get off his team and I'm on somebody else's team. Right, So I'm watching and at some point he's on the right side, right, and he jumps the ball for his partner. He jumps in with the backhand and hits the ball and he doesn't get it over.

00:14:13
Speaker 2: You screamed, forehand. You damn fucking right, I did. I went forehand. What did he say to that?

00:14:21
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:14:21
Speaker 3: He gave me a look like, who the fuck is this guy yelling forehand. I'm like, I'm the guy you yelled at a little while ago, and now you did the same fucking thing. So afterwards, everyone came up with me, like, listen, we really appreciate by the way I hung with them. Good, I kept I kept up. Okay, are they a little bit better than me? Absolutely? I kept up, and good for you. Everyone came up to me afterwards, like, listen, we're so sorry, thank you so much for filling in. We would have been fucked if you didn't fill in. I don't know what that guy's problem is. Instead of being appreciative, he's giving you the fucking forehand comment.

00:14:52
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm here doing you guys a favor.

00:14:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're like forehand Yeah, I said to her, go I was ready to give him the backhand, really was you know what, I'll give him the middle finger.

00:15:07
Speaker 2: I feel better now, good? See we both well. I I have to get something off my chest you I mean, no, I just this is an observation, and if you're one of these people, do better. Okay, I'm not even gonna apologize. If you want, it's gotten out of control. If you live in a big city or near one, or even been to a big city. It doesn't have to be New York. You know where I'm talking. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about e bikers, people on e bikes. No, but it's an observation that I've had now that it's bothering the hell out of me if you think about it. Brody and I and I talked about this on the Big Show, and I got a standing ovation by Elvis and everybody. Okay, I'm not gonna go do what I did there, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna repeat my statement, my prepared statement, so I don't get myself in trouble. But I want you to. I want your thoughts on it, all right. I personally think that e bikers happen to be the most ruthless, the most ruthless and lawless vigilantes out there, if you think about it, Okay, they do not should explain what he bikes all one more time. E bikes are electronic bikes that can go up to the speed, if not more faster than a motorized vehicle in the city. You know, when you're going twenty miles an hour, twenty five miles an hour, or thirty miles an hour as a car you could go, you can fucking go forty miles an hour on this fucking thing. You can go faster. You can get through the city streets faster on a nee bike than you can a car. So they're fucking they should be treated as such, but we don't do that for whatever reason. They they feel like they're above the law. They don't yield to cars or pedestrians. Both times it's it's the car's fault or it's the pedestrian's fault, but it's never the e biker's fault. They have the they made these dedicated like green lanes for them to you know, to ride in, but right oftentimes they're not even using their own fucking lane that was built for them, usually resulting in taking away a lane of real traffic to accommodate these fucking e bikes. So now cars are going are slowed down and they're in less lanes. Okay, because of the creation of these e bike lanes for those people, so they should live in that little e bike lane, green little lane world. But they don't. They still go. They still go up on up on sidewalks, down on side the upside, walks down the wrong way, down a one way street, the wrong side of the road. They speed, they go above the speed limit. They blow red lights like they don't. They don't sit there like a car in a red light. They'll just fucking keep going. And they'll make them they they'll just look both ways and keep going. Things that are road and all this, and they never ever get reprimanded for their behavior. They never get tickets for their actions because these e bikers are out there and they don't have license plates, they not try, they're not trackable. I've never seen a cop car pull over an e biker and give them a ticket or anyone. So they pretty much running running a muck. They pretty much own their ship, own the whole place. Okay, they're like teflon, you know, and and and and they and I was gonna say, you know, I said this on the air. They're useless to me because chances are they're on their bike they're not listening to the radio. They're not listening to this podcast. E bikers are usually don't have their air pods in whatever the case, and listening to podcasts. But anyway, that's why I feel like I can shit on them. But anyway, they're no use to that. But but it's getting out of control, Brody. It's something needs to be done. They need to be They need to get license plates or something they need because they're motorized vehicles in a way, you know, just because they don't run on gas and they run on electric motors.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: They should have license plates, and they should be a record of who's renting them.

00:19:12
Speaker 2: Or not even renting them, but owning them. People own them. They're the ones on the food delivery bikes, like all the bikers. Well no, well, I mean the uber eats guys. They go zipping down the you know, listen, I don't I appreciate how fast you get to my apartment with the salad. But I'm not at what risk? At what risk? Oh it's it's Q two. I'm eating salads. Oh right, right, wait, but at what risk? Are you know? Are you are you doing that? I'd rather follow and obey all traffic laws, but there's no way to do it. They're unstoppable and since the last time we spoke about them, we're worse off. It's only getting worse and worse every day less, especially with congestion, pricing and people not coming into the city as much. They don't want to pay the nine dollars more.

00:19:58
Speaker 3: People need we need we need them Mayor of New York to step up or get a new mayor, crack down the crackdown.

00:20:05
Speaker 2: But not just New York City. I'm sure this is going on in Philly. I'm sure in Miami and all these other places.

00:20:09
Speaker 3: I'm saying, we we you is in New Yorker. That's how it's gonna get solved. The mayor needs to step up and do something about it. I don't know what the answer is, but why are they tough problem? The city loves the e bikes because it keeps people out of cars. Usually that's what the but they're menace to society. They are definitely a men their threat. I mean they're too fast, as the bikes are dangerous enough in Manhattan.

00:20:30
Speaker 2: Right. So when I talked about this on the air this morning, not only did everybody agree with me, I thought I was going to get some uh wow, some gree with Oh no, somebody, somebody. I was gonna get get burned by my own flame. But but people started texting in. Yeah, my my aunt was in the city walking across the street and some biker put her in the hospital three three months ago and it was badly if. She was in the hospital for for a couple of weeks. Yeah, they hit the the biker hit her. She was in the laid up in the hig hospital and couldn't she couldn't sue anybody. She couldn't. Like it's like no repercussions. Like the guy got up back on his bike and kept fucking going. They don't. They don't get charged for hitting runs like they're not held to the same standard as a motorist. How is that possible? How do you think they need to change the designation of them? Then? How do you how do you? How do you?

00:21:26
Speaker 3: I don't by the way, between the e bikes, uh, and and the and the and the bike lanes that bother you.

00:21:34
Speaker 2: You're a mess. Yeah, no, it's it's not. It's like not to have a lawn. Well you can't. People get off your lawn, Get off my pavement, get out of my pathway. I mean, you know it's rough, they're annoying, but you are losing sleep. I am. It's the one thing that I really detest potholes in the city, destroying your car. Potholes are one thing, but these but these e bikers, man, they are in another let. But they are also they've been empowered because there are no there's no rules for them. They don't there hasn't been a precedent that's been set, so nothing's enforceable. And uh yeah, so there's that. So just wanted to throw that out there. Brody.

00:22:16
Speaker 3: All right, hey, speaking of your flat tire damaged rim, Yeah, enough of this, please can we move past this plice desbomb? Yeah, she said she were sending me a DM Brody, the fucking universe paid me back for talking shit about scary she said, look what look what I ran over and it's a picture of her tire with a big hole in it. Uh, she said, however, I have triple A and a spare and I'm I'm under under twenty five minutes I was back on the road. So she did get a flat and feels like she deserved it for talking shit about you.

00:22:48
Speaker 2: But for twenty five bucks.

00:22:49
Speaker 3: She was back on the road or tire was fixed, and she wasn't without a car for four days.

00:22:52
Speaker 2: So yeah, suck it, scary basic. Exactly who else has been checking in with us? Uh?

00:23:00
Speaker 3: A lot of people. I'm not prepared to discuss that yet. I have to open up my folder.

00:23:03
Speaker 2: And oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you what. Let me tellt me.

00:23:06
Speaker 3: Let me give a shout out to AKA Underscore Dolomel. Her name is Melissa. She sent me a video she said made me think of you. I think I sent it to you.

00:23:19
Speaker 2: Scary. You know, people go, oh, I thought of you when I saw this.

00:23:22
Speaker 3: And it's usually like Facebook and it's live Facebook people acting out Facebook conversations. That's what I get a lot But this one was one of the characters from this season of White Lotus staring in bewilderment. And the caption is me waiting for the waiter to finish the specials so I can order my chicken palm.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: And that's exactly me.

00:23:43
Speaker 3: Oh, let me tell you about the specials today, delicious, scary?

00:23:49
Speaker 2: Are you paying attention? Yeah? The specials today? Go ahead, I'm waiting.

00:23:52
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we have a delicious Chilean sea bass over a bed of rice with shallots and garlic. We also have a a bronzeno broiled with a lemon butter sauce.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: You have me a lemon butter. Yeah. Also, we have a chicken prepared three ways on a bed of pasta. That is the chef's favorite. More solid wine sauce. Talk dirty.

00:24:23
Speaker 3: This is my is my porn language. Hey, I get to the end of this. I'm ordering the chicken pond. I mean that's that's the specials are like YadA YadA, YadA, YadA YadA.

00:24:32
Speaker 2: No, I like to hear. I don't normally order specials. Number one, I don't know the price. Number two.

00:24:37
Speaker 3: If I like it, it won't be there the next time. I like to order the same thing when I go to the restaurant. But I like it, I order it again.

00:24:44
Speaker 2: Wow, you're not like that. You order special sometimes. I love the special sometimes because if it's especially if it's a fish dish. Usually well, it could go two ways. It could be either a fresh catch because they have that, because they can never put that on a menu and print out on the menu. Because you don't know what you're gonna get in that day, so that she could be the freshest thing on the menu, or as Brody knows from being in the food service industry all these years, it could be it could be in the ship they're trying to move. It could be the worst thing on the menu. And the way they get you is they put it in a box. It's like it's like listed on a in a square, so your your eye eyes go right to that rectangle of like what's inside the rectangle? Oh, this special? But that's usually when it's on a menu and it's permanent. But if it's an addendum to the menu, did I say that word? Right? Addendum? In addition? Uh, it's on a separate sheet of paper that was typed out that day. You know, they could be moving that shit too. You don't know. They might have had order too much, too much beef the night before or a couple of days before, and they it's gonna go bad. And if before it goes rantid, Hey, let's make a special out of this, right, Yeah, you already know? Yeah? Thanks so honest Marsett. Uh anyway, no, I said you already know. You want to know? Oh, okay, right, very close enough. I'll give you a half point. I speaking of.

00:26:04
Speaker 3: Specials, so uh, I've been going to uh with my buddy to watch sporting events at a different sports bars. So one of them, you know which one it is, it's it's my it's one of my favorites.

00:26:16
Speaker 2: It's Tommy's.

00:26:16
Speaker 3: I don't want to get into the whole thing, but anyway, so I go there and they have seasonal menus. So seasonal is okay because if you like the food, you can get it for like three months. So I went, I don't know, it's two weeks ago now, whenever, the end of spring was happening, so the the winter menu was wrapping up. So on the winter menu about a month ago, I got the meat loaf and and my appetizer was the duck wings. The duck wings were fantastic. They were a a an Asian sauce. It was terrific. So mean a while, let's go back to Tommy's. I really want to get the meat loaf again and the duck wings, but I more than anything on to do, I won't even get the meat loaf. I just gotta have those duck wings. They were fantastic. They were like butter. They just melt it off the boat.

00:27:00
Speaker 2: Terrific. Okay, terrific, we go. We okay, terrific we go.

00:27:04
Speaker 3: When we sit at the bar and I ordered from the bartender, I said, hey, give me the duck wings and whatever else I order.

00:27:10
Speaker 2: He says, oh, all right, great.

00:27:13
Speaker 3: So I'm waiting fifteen minutes for my appetizer and the manager comes over to me at the bar just hey, I'm terribly sorry. We only had one order of duck wings left and we burnt it. The kitchen burnt you, but your duck Oh shit, she said. Because it's the end of the season. This was the last day we're having this menu and that was the last one.

00:27:31
Speaker 2: Last one. They burned them. So you know you should have said, because I know that, I know you, David Brody. Yeah, like you know what. All right, I'll take something else. But since you cooked them already, bring them out. Let me see how burned. No, no, they didn't, they didn't know. I will tell you that happened to me. Dunkin Donuts. That isn't that is a Brodie move though. I'll take how they really are.

00:27:52
Speaker 3: Hold on, I will transition into the du Dunkin donut store or the dunkin story. Okay, anyway, So I said, well, I came here just for the duck wings, which was legitimate.

00:28:00
Speaker 2: Okay, just yeah, I'm sorry.

00:28:02
Speaker 3: I said, all right, well, I guess I'll take the Asian ribs because that's like a third cousin. Like it's similar sauce.

00:28:10
Speaker 2: It's okay. So I'm like, all right.

00:28:13
Speaker 3: So then the bill comes and she charged me for the for the for the ribs. Now, if you're a good manager, what do you like caught me the appetizer because you fucked up the one I ordered? Shouldn't I at least think like that would be a nice thing to do. Listen, we fucked up your duck wings. You made it a point to say you came here specifically for the duck wings, and we're never going to have them again. Let me take care of your appetizer. No, they don't owe you anything in that case. They burnt my order and I can't get it. Therefore I didn't get equal.

00:28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you ordered, but you ordered what you ordered, came there for the duck wings. You're not listening. I did know.

00:28:54
Speaker 3: I know you came for the duck wings, and I didn't get the duck wings because their kitchen staff burnt them.

00:29:02
Speaker 2: Hey, so you think so you think that you're entitled to a free a free ribs because they burnt your duck wings. Hold on, is this is this the even is not even equation and in effect, hold on a second, let me think this is true.

00:29:17
Speaker 3: You burned my duck wings. I didn't get to have my duck wings. I waited fifteen minutes before you told me. Now I have to wait another fifteen minutes for you to make the ribs. I waited a half hour to get my food, just the appetizer.

00:29:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the even is not even thing is when they burn a steak and then they bring you another steak.

00:29:35
Speaker 3: Okay, this is worse. I didn't get the steak. Imagine they burned my steak and go, we're out of steak. You gotta have chicken. Now, I didn't even get the steak in that in that equation. So this, this is even below even.

00:29:47
Speaker 2: This is so Now you want a twenty five dollars gift card to add to this? Is that what you're trying to.

00:29:53
Speaker 3: Say that I wanted I wanted to waitress the manager. You want to say you know what, what appetizer do you want? We'll take care of it's on off. We're sorry for the inconvenience, actually fucked up. Yeah no, uh all right, yeah, I'm on board.

00:30:05
Speaker 2: I'm on board. I'm on board with free dessert Day.

00:30:07
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, alright, very good, very good. Now, scary slices. Feel free to leave a talk back.

00:30:13
Speaker 2: Now. It's the scariest point. Whenever I go.

00:30:17
Speaker 3: See my daughter, this is the same day that I got the double parking incident that happened last week.

00:30:23
Speaker 2: You were on a roll that day.

00:30:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, Whenever, whenever I go to see my daughter, I stop at Dunkin Donuts and pick her up her drink for her, because she lives like three blocks from Duncan, doesn't have a car, And I'm like, oh, you know what the least I can do when I come see you, I'll bring you a duncan. I'll stop at the Duncan, the duncan that I go to all the time for her, and I get her drink. Now, she she has a very specific drink. She likes oat milk and on sweetened vanilla in her iced coffee. Okay, so in fact, I have it on my phone. So I can always get it right, so I just read it off my phone. Sure, So I go in like I always do when I say, like an iced coffee with oat milk and an unsweetened shot of vanilla medium size.

00:31:06
Speaker 2: Right, I'm medium iceed coffee.

00:31:07
Speaker 3: I always start with medium iceed coffee, so I don't have a lot sweetened vanilla. Isn't vanilla sweet to begin with? I think it's unsweetened? And then a shot of an milk, a shot of an ill okay, don't put me don't put any sugar in iced coffee, and a shot of got you right?

00:31:21
Speaker 2: Right? Okay?

00:31:23
Speaker 3: So the woman wrings me up, and because it's not busy, she's also the person that goes over and makes my order. As opposed to like reading it off the screen. She goes and makes it, and she makes it and she hands it to me, and it's a hot version of the drink I ordered. So it's a hot coffee with oat milk and a shot of Yep, wrong order. So I said, I'm terribly sorry I ordered an iced coffee with that stuff in it. Oh, I'm so sorry, And she takes it back off the counter. So I said from afar, I said listen, are you gonna throw that out? Yeah, they have to. They're not gonna sell it to anyone else, right, So I said, well, I'll take it, don't throw it out. No, no, I'll make you a new one. No, I get that, make me the new one. But I'll take that one. No, it's not what you wanted. I'll throw it out.

00:32:12
Speaker 2: No.

00:32:12
Speaker 3: No, there was a language barrier. There was a slight language barrier in the neighborhood I was in. So it's fine.

00:32:18
Speaker 2: I was trying.

00:32:18
Speaker 3: I was trying to explain to her, you're gonna throw it out, I'll bring my daughter the hot coffee and the ice coffee.

00:32:24
Speaker 2: It's a pus and then later on she can make ice coffee out of the hot coffee. No, I don't throw it out.

00:32:31
Speaker 3: She's like, no, I'm gonna make you a fresh one. I'm like, I'm trying to explain. I go, yes, make me an ice one. This is but just but one. So what ended up to order it? It's not what you want it. You want to take that you give me. I could not get She threw it in the garbage. She didn't understand what I'm saying.

00:32:47
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, no, the other you know, you know what you would have done. She would have given it to you, and then she would have charged you for it too, right, because so, so what's this is similar to the time that this is what they may get two sandwiches? Right, they would have thrown it out. Listen, I was a manager at Starbucks for a while. I would have just given the coffee, like, hey, you know what, here, take it.

00:33:07
Speaker 3: It's all a mistake. And because now I'm waiting for the second coffee. So while I'm waiting to go, you know, take the hot one. I'll make you the car.

00:33:12
Speaker 2: Don't throw it out. What are you wasting it for? You want to ask for? You wouldn't have asked for it. You wouldn't said I'll take the hot one. Yeah, I wouldn't have bothered with it. I'm like, yeah, fuck it. But then I'm a different I'm a different guy, Brody. You know that by now three thirty one episodes in, you should know that I would be like, yeah, fuck you don't it's the Boys podcast.

00:33:37
Speaker 3: Oh man, hey, uh, I got a quickie for you. And then and then then, of course, if you have anything scary, you don't go to the movies very often. But they spoofed it on Saturday Night Live and I'm gonna play audio off my phone and if you can't hear it, I'm sorry.

00:33:49
Speaker 2: Scary. Okay, oh god again, Really.

00:33:52
Speaker 3: More about about what I'm gonna more than what I'm gonna play, but I want.

00:33:55
Speaker 2: To talk about it. Okay.

00:33:55
Speaker 3: So, if you've ever been to an AMC movie theater for like five years now, I don't know why they have and updated it. They have a very plastic surgery looking Nicole Kidman walk into a movie theater and give a speech about the beauty of movies.

00:34:10
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play a clup of it and let's see if you can hear it. Hold on, can you hear?

00:34:15
Speaker 4: We come to this place a magic. We come to AMC theaters to love, to cry, to care because we need that.

00:34:26
Speaker 2: Ok So it's annoying. It's five years.

00:34:29
Speaker 3: Every time you go to AMC theater you have to hear talk about It's it's the seat on the big screen.

00:34:34
Speaker 2: They love the emotion. Well, they're trying to make an emotional connection. So you always show up at an AMC and you always spend your money there. I mean right, it's genius marketing.

00:34:43
Speaker 3: It's still bad Christian Wig. I think it was Kristen Wig. They spoofed it and they did a parody and it was hilarious.

00:34:48
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:34:49
Speaker 3: So I go to see a movie a couple of weeks ago with Michael Fassbender and Clay Blanchette, a spy thriller called Black Bag. And we go to the theater. The theater, the theater. We go to the AMC, and I'm like, I forgot because I usually I usually go.

00:35:08
Speaker 2: To cinema, which is much nicer theaters. AMC is fine, but cinema is even nicer. Did we go out of business? By the way, they still us fine, it's my knowledge.

00:35:18
Speaker 3: So all of a sudden, I see Nicole Kidman on the screen and you know, the music's thoughts, but this is what I.

00:35:24
Speaker 2: Hear along audio problems.

00:35:30
Speaker 3: Nope, this movie theater must have re recorded the audio or or and and it's just.

00:35:40
Speaker 2: On purpose to make fun of it. Yeah, I think they. I think they made fun of it totally. Yeah, these are corporate theaters. Didn't they can't get away with that. I don't know what they did, man, but they're showing it and it's like dahn and they totally made Now did you demand your money back because you couldn't understand what you was saying?

00:35:59
Speaker 3: Oh, I wanted to give them more money for doing it. It was fantastic. I hate that Nicole Kidman video.

00:36:04
Speaker 2: Really, I don't know. I can't. I can't imagine they did that on purpose. They did. This isn't like Frankie's movie theater. This is a corporate theater. You know. They have hundreds of screens across the country.

00:36:17
Speaker 3: If this happened to you, I think it was the AMC near Bridgewater, somewhere near Bridgewater.

00:36:22
Speaker 2: Maybe it was the town they could be having audio problems.

00:36:26
Speaker 3: It was only during the Nicole Kidman clip and I I was laughing my ass off and the other people in the theater were clapping.

00:36:33
Speaker 2: People were clapping it will wah wah wa wah wah wah that.

00:36:37
Speaker 3: It was like that, But it was like blatantly, like a guy gone, that's so funny. I don't know if the projectionist lowered the volume and was doing it live or what.

00:36:49
Speaker 2: Because they usually have microphones too, they don't know. It was like the projectionist, Is that really what it sounded like. I wish you would have gotten audio. That's hysterical.

00:37:04
Speaker 3: I was laughing too hard to whip my phone out. I was like, I should have I should have recorded it. I may have to go back to see if it's still that way. How great is that?

00:37:13
Speaker 2: I love?

00:37:13
Speaker 3: Somebody was like, I know people hate this. I'm gonna destroy it. So hey, thank you for that.

00:37:19
Speaker 2: I'm going to a christening tomorrow with my girlfriend Robin. Yeah. Oh, joy is right, But okay, I've never I've never been. I'm not a godfather on this one. You know, I was a godfather from my beautiful Endzo he's a en it's not that beautiful. Yeah. So so so this is now a friend of Robin's who also is a friend of mine. And it's all the way out on Long Island, and the church is at eleven thirty.

00:37:54
Speaker 3: Again, I reminded of people Long Island has called that for a reason. It's it's three hours long. Yeah, and so this is about an hour and change out.

00:38:04
Speaker 2: It's like if you're looking at a penis, it's about a third of the way across the penis. Yeah, and Scary lives an hour away from Long Island from the ex first to get to Long Island, it's gonna take me forty five minutes whatever. So this is you're talking a nice little trip. Eleven thirty. They're doing the christening in the church and then lunch to follow at a restaurant afterwards, which is great. So my girlfriend wants to go to the church four eleven thirty and then following it with the restaurant right after. I'm gonta leave it at nine thirty ish. I gotta get up at like eight o'clock eight thirty to go pick her up and then go to Long Island. I mean, it's a disaster, it's a Saturday morning, but you gotta come to either way. Let me underscore, these are friends of ours. They're not family, best friends, not my cousin, not best friends. No very good friends, second tier bet second tier, very good friends. All right, So I said, I said to Robin, like, why do we have to do this? Why can't we just get up save ourselves about an hour in time? Still get up at like ten ten thirty, roll out there for like twelve thirty, one o'clock whatever the time the lunch is. Stroll in, have some lunch, Say hi, catch up hand the kid in the card. You know what I'm saying. You get hit the family of the car. Hold how the kid at the crest, it's like eight months, so you bring eight months, so you bring me aware that you're not there. I'm not gonna kid's not gonna have any knowledge of this, right of course. And and you know, hand the family the card. That's the important thing is you know the cash with the card. That's that's big. And that's it. Oh, this is what Robin says. That's that's disrespectful. What are we doing. We're just gonna show up for lunch and not gonna go to the christening part and the mask. I'm like, I'm not the godfather, you're not the godmother, we're not immediate family. Do we really have to be there? I don't think we have to And and she's like, I think we could skip that part and go right to go right to lunch at the restaurant and hang out with our friends and the family and everybody, and you know, you know, break them off with the cash. That's how we that's how we roll. What's wrong with that? Nothing for me?

00:40:29
Speaker 3: Listen, it's again, I've never been to a christening, but if it's like a briss it's your immediate family. Maybe your best friend shows up, but the ceremony.

00:40:42
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You know, no disrespect to the Catholic church.

00:40:46
Speaker 3: Hand you shake hands, you know what they know you live an hour and a half away, two hours away.

00:40:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at eleven thirty in the morning. Yeah that's uh. I mean, I'm great. I get to work. Granted, you get to work at five thirty in the morning on most days. Here's the words to David Brody, were good? Right, We're good. We're good? Are we good or not? Really? Yeah?

00:41:07
Speaker 3: Listen, it's not like a wedding where like you want to you want to see your friends get married, take pictures, be there to witness what's going on.

00:41:13
Speaker 2: They're gonna listen, you're gonna pour over babies.

00:41:16
Speaker 3: They're gonna put water on the kid. Maybe they dunk them. I think the kid's gonna they pour water over and then the kids starts crying.

00:41:22
Speaker 2: They give they give him, they give him three names whatever, right, and then then you move on. Okay, So I'm good. It's not disrespectful.

00:41:30
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a big religious person and you're not there for all the Christian christening stuff, then I you know, I mean you're not You're not here one friend or family, And I don't think you need I don't think you need to be there. And I think that they're late, like no one's gonna be like, oh god, the fucking guy came late.

00:41:48
Speaker 2: Come on, I've missed. I've missed wedding ceremonies before. I think that's more offensive, and I've missed those.

00:41:54
Speaker 3: I missed the wedding ceremony once and I walked into the back as they were like, you know, like as they were coming back down the aisle, So I stepped right in. I stood in the back. Yeah, so the people who are getting married thought I was there the whole time.

00:42:06
Speaker 2: That happened last summer with with Vinie and Amanda, we were we couldn't make it out to the site for the for the wedding because once you walk in barefoot on a beach, it was it was a mile and a half of walking on rocks and sand and beach to get to like the the location broken eye and Robin had had her heels on, if you remember, and I mean that I said that was far worse. I think that we missed that. But even then, it's like, okay, so you miss it. So a lot of people just show up to the reception at weddings anyway, and they just skipped the church part. Right.

00:42:38
Speaker 3: If you got to a church wedding late and you got there right at the end and didn't see the wedding, Nope, I got away with it. Would you ever tell the couple that you missed it?

00:42:45
Speaker 2: Nope? Had about face see you later, peace out?

00:42:49
Speaker 3: Because I missed the church ceremony of a mutual friend of ours.

00:42:53
Speaker 2: Oh really mhm? And to this day does that person know? No.

00:42:58
Speaker 3: I ran up the steps of the church, and as I got to the top of the steps, the couple was walking back like they just finished. Were you seen by the couple as they were know? As they were waving to their friends and family. I stepped in like I was in the last row and nobody, nobody knows.

00:43:12
Speaker 2: Did you ever tell Sam? No? It wasn't Sam.

00:43:16
Speaker 3: Okay, but you can you can guess all you want. I mean, you know how many weddings I've been to that you and I both were there, so maybe four? So you all figured out okay, okay.

00:43:31
Speaker 2: Oh you put your glasses on. I see something something coming. No, no, no, no, Brodie that's serious. That's serious, Brody, No, no, but he just reminded me. Speaking of serious, do you know the name of one of the two New York Mets center fielders used to play for the Tampa Bay Rays until this year. What does that have to do with serious? Well, his his name is Jose Now you're a big Mets fan, you know he's one of his last His name is s I R I. Oh, that's gonna cast problems throughout the serie they're at the season. He announced the same way you do on your phone, s I R I. And she just woke up because I said it.

00:44:17
Speaker 3: That's the problem. Hey, sirih stopop. You're doing it to everybody. Now you're making anybody else's phones go off stops having Android stop stop.

00:44:26
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's gonna oh my god. I feel it's the game of the season, during the first game of the season. Let me see. I don't think I got the audio. Do you know what's gonna happen? Though I already could tell when the announcers like yell his name out, people's devices are going to go go ballistic. Well that's the that's the problem.

00:44:43
Speaker 3: So Howie Rose on the radio the Mets announcer was like, oh, we got a real problem here. I just said he got a base hit, and my phone went off. He said, now for the rest of the game, we're just gonna refer to him as Jose. Jose's taking a lead off first, Oh, Jose.

00:44:56
Speaker 2: Goes down to second on the field destroy And they referred to him as Jose the rest of most of the game because saying his last name in baseball you normally say you know Alonso and and Linda Soto.

00:45:09
Speaker 3: Every time they said his name, their own phones went off. Oh no, this is a this is a major issue. List Tampa Bay. I'm sure if you've ever watched the game slices, have you ever watched a game where he played and your phone went off because the announcers said his last name, It's it's it's Jose.

00:45:25
Speaker 2: That's wow, that's actually very fun.

00:45:31
Speaker 3: That's actually you're at the game, and the and the and the stadium announcer. Uh, by the way, our friend Colin Cosell, the state announcer, what what if He's like, ladies and gentlemen are now abouting for the New York Mets hal is and then the whole ballpark everybody's phones go.

00:45:45
Speaker 2: Off, and with the last part of Jose like hey, it sounds like hey. It's like hey, Hey, Blake, Hey, Blank Hey, and so yeah, so everyone's phone's gonna wake up every time. That's right, right, that's right. So that's a problem.

00:46:02
Speaker 3: I just want to let you know, if you're a Mets fan or you watch a Mets game and you have an iPhone, beat there.

00:46:07
Speaker 2: What a great prank that would be. If I ever got hold of of a rate of a stadium microphone like that, I would call it out. I would call out the name Hey and wake up everybody's phones and then and then ask like what the weather is or something? Can you recite for me, uh, the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America. Yeah, way to make friends? Oh man, I like that. I like that a lot. So there you go. Hey, have you seen the movie an Aura? No? I have not one best actress. I mean I know about it. She's on my radar. It was. It was filmed in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, not far from where we grew up.

00:46:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, not far. I googled the house whereas I know exactly where the house is. Training in the background.

00:46:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of Cody, a lot of Coney Island shots there too, right, Yeah, And I had friends on Facebook saying, it's the movie the year, It's a sleeperhead. It's amazing. So what are your thoughts?

00:47:01
Speaker 3: Maybe it's because that's where we grew up. But to me, when I see somebody doing a great accent of the people that we lived, I don't not impressed by that. You're not, Like, she sounds like she's from Benson Hrst. She talks like this and somethinking does she really talk like that in real life? Like is that a hard accent to do? Like she got an oscar for speaking like that? And being naked a lot. I didn't love the movie.

00:47:25
Speaker 2: She was naked.

00:47:26
Speaker 3: A lot of drug use and hookering and she was naked in there. She naked a lot, yeah.

00:47:30
Speaker 2: Like full frontal. Yeah really yeah.

00:47:35
Speaker 3: Like all like all all like all like all naked, like yeah, a lot of topless really to be honest and a little ass but.

00:47:41
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, now I want to see a Nora. She was she was great on SNL. She was. Yeah.

00:47:48
Speaker 3: I don't know if Glenn like first of all women playing prostitutes, hookers, Ladies of the Night have won like a dozen Academy.

00:48:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, they've moved on.

00:48:02
Speaker 3: Not when they played them in the thirties, forties, fifty, sixty, seventies, eighties, nineties, two thousands, they were hookers. When when Jane Founded played a hooker. People have played hookers in movies and they'll tend to win Oscars. So that's why a lot of people are like, oh, she can win Oscar's played a hooker. Well google how many women have won Actress Best Actress awards for playing hookers? Oh, Julia Roberts, Yeah exactly. I don't know if she won the Oscar, but she was great and pretty woman?

00:48:24
Speaker 2: Did she want to ask? I don't remember. It doesn't matter. Don't tweet me so.

00:48:27
Speaker 3: Anyway, Mikey Madison, I mean it wasn't a stretch. I mean, I I don't know.

00:48:33
Speaker 2: So you're saying that, even though it was a great film, that you don't know if she rows above enough out of the pack to be considered the best lead female in it. Don't know. I think it was a week year for Roles. I guess. I don't know. I wasn't impressed, and I have to be honest, with you. Like I watched the movie.

00:48:53
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, wow, she's smoking and she's got tattoos all over, and I look, I'm like, oh, those actually her tattoos. She actually does smoke like a lot of It wasn't like even like acting.

00:49:03
Speaker 2: It was just hard. So it wasn't even a stretch. She basically leans.

00:49:07
Speaker 3: Having tattoos on the back of your legs has nothing new, been hooker. I wasn't implying that, right, just like, no, I think they know what you're talking about.

00:49:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I got you. Yeah. Yeah.

00:49:15
Speaker 3: So anyway, I thought it was fine. The movie was fine. The guy the other guy, that was fine.

00:49:21
Speaker 2: Fine. Yeah.

00:49:21
Speaker 3: If I had like two and a half stars, wow, maybe listen slices. If you if you're from a place with an accent, right, if you're from Alabama and you speak like you I can't do an Alabama accent, but you're from Alabama and you you see a movie where the actresses playing an actress from Alabama, She's like, that's not impressive. My mother sounds like that. Like to me, it was like everybody I know sounds like that. So it wasn't as impressive. Like if she put on like a Scottish accent, I'd be like, Wow, that's a good Scottish act. But she's talking like the people we grew up with. She's like, yeah, I'm working at the club tonight. I'm like, how hard is it? The dumbest people we knew sound like that?

00:50:00
Speaker 2: Oh my god, no, but everybody sounded like that, So to me, it wasn't impressive. Slices, you know what I'm talking about.

00:50:08
Speaker 3: If you're from a place again in the country, like where you're like, oh, if you sound like you're from Florida in a movie, like I sound like I'm from Florida. So does she get a penalty because of the role she's playing. It sounds to me like you're giving her a major strike because I'm thinking about it because now it's like, Okay, what if she did the same type of acting, but she was someone from the I don't know, she was a thespian from the Shakespeare Shakespeare era or something she played and she was in some like crazy assue costume from the sixteen hundreds, and she was doing the same type of same type of quality of acting, but the character was different.

00:50:48
Speaker 2: You would guarantee say that she would be Oscar worthy for that because it's the role you are biased. It's a bias, a personal bias on the role she played. Maybe. Okay, did you see the movie? Didn't see the movie? I'm sure you did.

00:51:01
Speaker 3: The theory of everything with Eddie Redmins ever, where he plays, he plays Stephen Hawking.

00:51:05
Speaker 2: Won't you remember Stephen? I remember Stephen Hawking? Yes, the guy in the wheelchair? Right.

00:51:12
Speaker 3: So Eddie Redmain starts off healthy in the movie and progressively gets worse as as the illness gets worse. At the end of the movie, his hands are morphed and distorted and his body and I mean it was an unbelievable transformation into Stephen Hawking. Okay, in this movie, Mikey Madison transformed into Rosalie from Brooklyn. It wasn't that big of a deal to me. She went from hey a Mikey Madison to hey a Mikey Madison. It wasn't that much of a stretch to me. That's all I'm saying. But is that What makes is this is that Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks lost like fifty pounds to play Forrest Gump, and he became a Forrest Gump, lock Walkers and dog Lands and he's he became a whole new person. He became a mentally damaged person. Okay, in Philadelphia he'd lost.

00:52:06
Speaker 2: Like one hundred So you're trying to say the cast the cast of The Godfather, because the cast of The Godfather who were Italian Americans, they don't. So you're saying that because they don't have to stretch or change an accent or body form, and they don't have to morph into anything, that they're less worthy of an oscar and has nothing to do with the performance and the delivery of the dialogue.

00:52:33
Speaker 3: And no, Okay, if you're an Italian mobster watching The Godfather, you might be like, these are my friends. I'm not saying me al Pacino was amazing in The Godfather.

00:52:43
Speaker 2: What made him amazing? It sounds to me like that that Mikey Madison did the same thing as.

00:52:48
Speaker 3: Anura because al Pacino became a gangster, he became the way he carried himself. It was more I'm saying, I'm not a gangster, So to me, I'm like, wow, he really pulled off the vibe of a gangster vibe. Mikey Madison was pulled off the vibe of people we grew up with, so to me it was like, yeah, okay, that's to you.

00:53:07
Speaker 2: So it's Maria, but being Maria, that's who we grew up with. But there are people a whole world than seeing this through a different lens because in their world.

00:53:16
Speaker 3: But I'm the one talking giving my opinion, and I'm saying if you watched, but you're almost questioning how it got the oscar. I'm telling you how it got the oscar. The rest of the world doesn't talk or act like us. I want you to spend two hours and fifteen minutes and go watch. I'm gonna watch weekend, I'm gonna watch after after your christening, go watch the movie. And then I want to I want a legitimate review of what you thought of the movie. And again I'm talking okay, I'm talking about and no. Look, if you're from Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wyoming, right, California, and you watched Anora, you might be like, wow, she transformed herself into a girl from Brooklyn. That's amazing because to you that's a foreign accent. But to me that's like everyone. Now, look if she was like if if Glenn Close or you know, or a British actress came here if a British actress like any I'm from, you know, a posh and then all of a sudden she was like.

00:54:12
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, that's impressive. So there needs to be a change of accent. There needs to be a change of demeanor. And it can't just be what it is just because she fits into the role naturally. She can't. She's less Oscar worthy than the next person. All Right, I just I'm just saying for me. I'm not saying she should. Okay, all right, all right, I'm not coming down on you. All right, all right, you know what I'm saying. Take another break and then Brodie's got something really big boys podcast. We will be right back. I hyped it up. Is this our last break? Yeah?

00:54:52
Speaker 3: Okay, So I want to talk to you about don't you hate that?

00:54:56
Speaker 2: You're like great? Now now I have to uh now actually make everything is you want to you want to live up to the moment, No, kiddy.

00:55:04
Speaker 3: I do want to tell a quick story and I want to see how you would have handle this real quick because it's timely. So today is Friday, April fourth, correct as we record this, Yes, as of yesterday, the stock market went in the toilet. The global economy is falling apart.

00:55:21
Speaker 2: It'll be bad. Yesterday, yeah, eventually.

00:55:24
Speaker 3: Yesterday the stock market fell seventeen hundred points. Today it's already down close to that, and people are losing fortunes, their retirement funds. Everything, okay, all right, So yesterday, coincidentally, I needed to move some money around. My CD expired. You know, you get a c D a three month CD at four month CD. Yes, And so I go to my bank and I go in and I'm talking about the rates and the whole thing, and I said, hey, listen, the bank up the block has a higher interest rate.

00:55:52
Speaker 2: Can you guys match that? We really can't.

00:55:54
Speaker 3: I said, all right, well, I'm not going to roll my money over into another three months if you're not going to get that rate. I said, especially with what's going on with the with the with the market today, I want to lock in a good rate because the interest rates are going to drop and the value is going to be shit.

00:56:11
Speaker 2: I got to lock it in today. Sure.

00:56:13
Speaker 3: So he says, yeah, I saw the markets, I'm watching it. I got it on on my phone and blah blah blah. We start talking about the thing. I said, listen, I'll be back let me go off the block and see what I can do. But I, you know, they got a better rate. I gotta go with a better rate. So I walk into the other bank with the better rate, and they say, go speak to the woman in the back. And I go to the woman and uh, I said, yeah, let me know the rates. I said, a three month or six months, and the and the and the year. And I said, well, can you believe what's going on with the market today? She said, Now, keep in mind, scared, it's four thirty in the afternoon. Yeah, okay, the market opened down a thousand, so it's already been opened for eight hours. Yeah, she says, why what happened? You know, the global collapse? No, I'm not aware of that. Yeah, I could see that. I can tell you see that. So I said, I said, what do you mean you don't know? I said, it's the biggest story on the planet.

00:56:58
Speaker 2: That market. No it's not. It's the biggest story to you.

00:57:01
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, it is the biggest story in the world. Every country is making effected, right. But the thing is, but it doesn't sum for some people. It does not play a bank she works, Okay, it does.

00:57:14
Speaker 2: It might not play a role in her life, though scary it affects banking Devil's advocate. She may not be up on it. She may not have notifications on her phone. See now me, I've got I got eleven ways till Sunday knowing about anything that goes on or pops off in this world because I got seventeen different notifications coming in. She may be quote old school. She may not have gone home and seen the nightly news. This is this is why I'm defending her rightly news. Jesus Christ. You have a smartphone in your pocket. She may not use it for anything other than making phone calls. Dude, and not one coworker walked over and was like, can you believe I'd lose this woman on an average ballpark?

00:57:54
Speaker 3: Ah, probably our age. I don't think she was that much older. I would have said she was seven. In the eighty five one hundred, I would have said.

00:58:01
Speaker 2: I guarantee you there are people that are not plugged in the way we're plugged in. Most people are just going about there. They imagine that, and they hear it. They hear it when they hear it, they see it when they see it.

00:58:10
Speaker 3: All Right, Well, guess what I did, thank you very much for your time, walked out and went back to the bank at the lower interest rate. And I felt like, I know what they're talking about. I'm not putting my money in a bank that doesn't know there's a global Collis.

00:58:21
Speaker 2: She's not in charge of your money. That's the bank that's in charge. She's just processing this ship. She was in charge of my money the way things like oh you're you are something else. Dude, let me tell you who cares If she knows that she doesn't know, that's gonna make or break you. If you're gonna ask.

00:58:35
Speaker 3: I can't because in three months when I need to renew my CD, I don't want to deal with her.

00:58:39
Speaker 2: Oh my god, let's go prody. She's a worker out of an institution, a financial institution, institution. And then when I told her what was going you're taking it.

00:58:47
Speaker 3: You're making it personal, I said to her, I said, after I told her what was going on, she goes, oh, well, I guess I'll I'll check it out when I get home. She was on interest, no curiosity in her life. I'm sorry.

00:59:00
Speaker 2: There are people, hey, newsflash, there are people out there like that. A lot of people I'm not trying to defend. I'm playing devil's advocate. I'm playing devil's advocate, yes, because I go through my life every single day, and I see things at whatever it is that people should be aware of or not, and and just people. There's so many fucking people on this goddamn planet that some people have their eye on the prize, other people don't. So it's not so when I come across somebody who doesn't know that the market fell two thousand points, I don't hold them accountable and I don't I don't blame them for it because I know their shit, and they're important, what they consider important, and their sphere is different. I'm not trying to make light of the situation. I'm just letting them know.

00:59:44
Speaker 3: Into the bank, she was sitting there doing nothing, but she wasn't dealing with a customize.

00:59:48
Speaker 2: She's gonna it's not in her vocabulary. She doesn't know what to do. There are people know many people have their fucking smartphone sitting in there. There's a computer in their pocket and they don't even know, they don't even They won't do anything other than make a phone call on it or maybe send the text right I'm not giving you my money. That's all You're entitled to do that. Okay, That's where I had to take exception to this.

01:00:09
Speaker 3: That's where I live the question if you're if you're a Manhattan and there's a major blackout, the power is gone, and you walk up to a police officer and you go, hey, man, are the trains running? And he goes, why would you ask that you go because it's a blackout? And he's like, what blackout? You'd be like, oh my god, how does this cop not known as a black Now I wouldn't. I wouldn't assume.

01:00:27
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I would actually take it at face value. And what you did there was you're holding it against this woman and taking it personally because she's not aware of what's going on in the world. And then now that is grounds for you to walk out of a bank that she By the way, if she's got no control or she doesn't know, your money is your money. It's going into it an account, it's not it gives us shit if she if she knows about it or not.

01:00:53
Speaker 3: You listen, if I worked into a bakery and the person behind the counter doesn't know that the stock market collapsed, an economic global collapse, you would not be.

01:01:00
Speaker 2: Okay, no problem, no problem. The banking that you don't. They don't know. The woman works in a bank. It's her job to know what's going on. No, it's not. Her job is to press buttons and say this is it's not Brodie and I don't want to pay. I'm just listen. I'm not trying to patter on the back for being ignorant in my because that's my opinion that she She may be ignorant, but but I don't hold it against her because in her world, again, she may find out from another source later on when she's talking to her friends when she gets home from work, when she's at work, she may be only at work, and she may have blinders on.

01:01:37
Speaker 3: Blinder Again, I can't fathom sitting at my desk at work doing nothing and not looking at my phone.

01:01:43
Speaker 2: Now, she should take an interest because she's in the banking industry.

01:01:47
Speaker 3: Let me see what's going on in the world. How does your how does your How do you not have alert set on your phone? They're like, breaking news is a massive.

01:01:53
Speaker 2: Some people don't I do you do? We do the slices. A lot of them do but I don't dip, you dip. We did this. But there's definitely people out there listening right now that don't have a little bit on their phone.

01:02:05
Speaker 3: They don't have If you work in a bank and you don't know what's going on with the biggest collapse in one hundred years, I don't tell you.

01:02:11
Speaker 2: It's a correction. It's a correct. I got a bad taste. It's act. It's not a collapse. It collapses. What happened in the in the nineteen thirties when we went into the Great Depression. Scary, this is very close. Look it's not I don't know, let's move on. Scary. It's down three. They've lost four trillion dollars in value today. It's all short term I have. I'm a positive. You're so the glasses is negative and glass is half empty. I'm a glasses. I'm a glasses.

01:02:38
Speaker 3: Economist on the planet is fucking good.

01:02:43
Speaker 2: Give me a couple of years of breathing space.

01:02:45
Speaker 3: Now.

01:02:45
Speaker 2: I feel bad for people that have to take out money today. I really I feel shitty that there's people going through a lot of shit. Fucked. If you live before I would like, okay, But there are most a lot of people, a lot of people that are listening. They they're not gonna hope God for hopefully they don't have to go after this. I'm not even looking, Brodie, I'm not even looking at my four one K or my stock right. It's a blood bath. Anyway, let's move. Okay. So I went to dinner at am Butcher's with my friends. You are something else. Boys. You really know how to make my day cloudier than it is. It's bad enough the sun's not shining right now. I gotta have you. You are shitting all over me today, Brody. I'm trying to talk. I'm about penguins, I'm about I'm about to go to David Busters. I'm about to dive headfirst into my weekend.

01:03:31
Speaker 3: And you should. And let's you know what I have a question for. Oh my god, the fucking jingle that time you did it?

01:03:37
Speaker 2: What the jingle? What are you talking about? Hit the jingle? Be at Jack? All right, lunch with my boys? Okay, now, just your reset. Uh.

01:03:51
Speaker 3: These are guys I worked with from age seventeen to age twenty roughly in my life. Yeah, and that's those friendships. Those guys from Brooklyn, we all worked together at Chuck e Cheese. We were supervisors and managers together.

01:04:06
Speaker 2: Yep.

01:04:07
Speaker 3: We went to Action Park. We went everywhere together. We hung out every night after work. We went out to eat, went to diners. We were inseparable, right, We sat in cars and talked to hours and so we all get together. And I told you that original The original plan was we had to buy a going away gift for one of the guys moving to Florida.

01:04:27
Speaker 2: But that was supposed to be in May, and they moved it up to last week. I got an email.

01:04:31
Speaker 3: I got an email from one of the guy's wives and he's like, hey, listen, they're moving it up. It's this weekend. It's Sunday. So I changed my plans. I'm like, I got to do this for go on Sunday. So there's nine guys and a woman. This is very important. Nine guys and a woman, one of the women that worked with us. So the waiter comes around and gives everyone at the table tablets. He's like, here hear the menus. We're at a round table, tablets in nine leather binders, very fancy. And one of my guys is like, oh, I don't like technology.

01:05:02
Speaker 2: I want a paper menu. Like, what are you doing.

01:05:06
Speaker 3: He's like, I want a paper old school menu. I'm like, yeah, but the menu is wrong.

01:05:10
Speaker 2: By the way, that guy had no clue about the stock market drop that guy, yes, yes he did. It's that kind of guy right there. Paper menu guy. A guy who listens and watches his newspaper. Admittedly he's he does not like technology. Okay, perfect, okay, all right, So.

01:05:33
Speaker 3: He gets the paper menu. Everyone orders a drink, and thankfully none of my friends are big drinkers. They all ordered like a beer a glass of wine. So I was like, I'll get a glass of wine. I'll make I'll be even. I keep the glass okay, because I see it's coming. You know the problem. But everyone ordered one drink. So then one of the guys he says, let's order appetizers, and then he does. It's scary, I swear to God's scary. He goes for the table for the table. Of course the boys, but.

01:06:02
Speaker 2: It's my guy's in Brooklyn. So I go. You got to do the hand thing where you were like, do like a magagine, you know you you you do the the circular motion with your your finger, your index finger.

01:06:12
Speaker 3: Point to the table for the table all fingers down, you do for the table, for the table?

01:06:16
Speaker 2: Right for the table? So I laugh and I go.

01:06:19
Speaker 3: Now none of the guys listen to this podcast at the time, but they I told them, like, what do you what do you do?

01:06:23
Speaker 2: Oh do book boys podcast? Whatever? Okay, so you go.

01:06:27
Speaker 3: So then one of the guys is, well, they have a family meal where you can order three of the five appetizers and uh and and like three of the five entrees for the table. Put the table if you want, like a family plan. It's like eighty bucks a person and like that. Right. So I'm like, I go, and that doesn't work for me. It doesn't work for me because.

01:06:47
Speaker 2: You wonder why I don't invite you might? This is it right here? Go ahead, continue, hold on, go ahead.

01:06:54
Speaker 3: I was like, listen, guys, I'd like to order the appetisers I'd like and I don't like three appetize.

01:06:59
Speaker 2: You guys say, I don't. I go? Can we just order what we want? But hold on? So everyone's like, yeah, fuck that. Everybody order what they want.

01:07:05
Speaker 3: So the one guy whose great idea was to order the family style everyone get out out voted, yeah, out voted no.

01:07:11
Speaker 2: Must have been shooting you fucking death stairs a little bit, because that would have been me, like, you fucking motherfucker. What did you open your mouth for?

01:07:18
Speaker 3: So I say, so, I say, I got guys having a gain. Everybody, you and the person to your left each pick an appetizer. All right, there's ten of us. That will be five appetizers. Everybody pick an appetizer. Whatever. So I was like, I want the spadini. One guy got big clams. What we got, okay, a lot of appetizers.

01:07:35
Speaker 2: Okay.

01:07:36
Speaker 3: At this point, we're the only people in the restaurant. We got the big room with the big table. It's three o'clock. We dinner reservations for no one else is there. All right, So we're telling six sex stories and who who did walk back in the day and who who had sex at Chuck E Cheese while they were opened? Crazy stories, crazy stories. And then a family of like thirty comes in, and now we can no longer tell stories, can't.

01:08:03
Speaker 2: Tell any stories. That's it.

01:08:06
Speaker 3: No more debauchery, no more like because we're allowed, you know, we're all like me of course, of course, all right, so uh, this is where it gets interesting.

01:08:17
Speaker 2: This is where it gets interesting.

01:08:19
Speaker 3: The check comes and one of our guys who tends to be like the ring leader.

01:08:25
Speaker 2: He gets to check.

01:08:26
Speaker 3: He looks at it, and he goes, all right, it's one hundred dollars to everybody's one hundred dollars.

01:08:33
Speaker 2: One hundred dollars each tip. It's one hundred dollars. Yep.

01:08:36
Speaker 3: Now I know the way he tips. In my mind, it's probably seventy dollars everybody with the tip. Okay, but he's like one hundred dollars everybody.

01:08:46
Speaker 2: I like it, nice round number. You get a great time. What is the cost of a good time with great friends? Brody?

01:08:51
Speaker 3: All right, So in my mind, I'm like five appetites. I figured I I think I was like, we're tip seventy five bucks. So I'm like, you know what, twenty five dollars in my pocket. I had a great time.

01:09:01
Speaker 2: Fuck it. Don't say, well, oh look at you okay, Okay, all right.

01:09:05
Speaker 3: I go to get my credit card, and my nine friends all whip out one hundred dollars like twenties fifties.

01:09:10
Speaker 2: They all got cash. You're the asshole with the credit card. I forgot that all my boys, Brooklyn. It's cash business, cash businesses.

01:09:19
Speaker 3: Right when you go with your boys from Brooklyn. It's cash cash I forgot so I don't.

01:09:23
Speaker 2: Have one hundred bucks. Okay, Here's where it gets interesting.

01:09:27
Speaker 3: When the woman, our friend, the woman takes some money out the leader I'm gonna call him Ed for the sake of the ocacation. Ed says to Mary, not her name, Mary, Your money's no good, don't be ridiculous.

01:09:41
Speaker 2: We got you.

01:09:41
Speaker 3: Ah, yes, don't let the woman pay right. So I'm like, so he's like, he's like, I got you. So I'm like, what does that mean? No?

01:09:54
Speaker 2: Hold on here, hold on finished, I know it's going hold on.

01:09:59
Speaker 3: So I'm like, well, well, what's going on? So I lean over to my boy pay the menu and I go, what's what do you mean? Why are we what's he doing? He goes, oh, he's not gonna let her pay right. So I'm thinking, So I'm thinking to myself, uh huh.

01:10:13
Speaker 2: Go one of two go one of two ways?

01:10:15
Speaker 3: Right, he's putting right, I go, he's putting down two hundred.

01:10:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a gentleman. He's not. I don't know he decided for the table. You're all paying for her, but you know what, that's an extra ten dollars. So that cost. She eats ten bucks because you're whacking up amongst the guys. Oh no, no, it's eleven dollars. Eleven dollars. Home on. I didn't fucking volunteer to pay for her. He volunteered for you because she has a vagina. This shit happens, This shit happens at all my fucking group dinners, this exact scenario. We don't let the women pay, and it's not like what it's going to be incumbent on one person to take the whole thing. Why is she paying? She I don't have a job. She thinks more than me. I don't have a fucking job.

01:11:05
Speaker 1: But you go out for lunch that.

01:11:07
Speaker 3: Day, so I said, I said to paper menu, I go payper menu.

01:11:16
Speaker 2: Did he just spend two hundred dollars and goes? I don't know, I'll find out. I go, what the fuck like if you want to be a big shot? He goes, He goes. But truthfully, when we go out, the women never pay. That's why I go. Why not when nobody's banging her? Oh so you need to be able to You need to be able to bang somebody in order to pay for them.

01:11:35
Speaker 3: If it's your girlfriend, that's your business. But she's just somebody they would have vagina. Why does she get to not pay?

01:11:43
Speaker 2: This happens all the time. She says to Ed, oh, Ed, thank you very much. So Ed got the credit and gets the credit and you all split it eleven dollars each. Yes, and guess what. You couldn't say shit because you were in a group of people that all agreed with Ed and you were outnumbered. I love it slices this right. Here is why Brody does not hang out with my groups of friends and go out to dinner because.

01:12:13
Speaker 3: You very rarely have women there. But if you were, okay, let me ask you a question. You went out to dinner a few weeks ago with Amy Freeze and some other people.

01:12:20
Speaker 2: It was Astra, Astra, Sorry was three women that I know? Three? Yeah? Are you telling me that if you went out with six guys women one?

01:12:29
Speaker 1: Two?

01:12:29
Speaker 2: It was it was Will hold On, it was Will, it was me, it was his buddy, and it was Astra and Uh Astra. We told Astra, don't worry, don't don't pay wests two jobs. She's on the radio, she's on television, and she's got and so the three of us split it evenly. Oh, that's the crock of ship. And it wasn't my idea, and it wasn't my idea. It was Will's friends idea, and it it was Will's idea, and I was okay with it.

01:12:57
Speaker 3: What if it's five guys, two women don't pay. Yeah, well there's three women.

01:13:02
Speaker 2: Welcome to my world. Brodie, you know you're not dating this? Why what the fuck? Hence you will never come out to dinner. See, this is because you would cause bullshit at my table and I don't want it. We'll ask you a question. Do the women know this role? Are they going to dinner knowing they're not paying? No, But it's kind of like it's a nice chest. It's a nice gesture, gesture. We rarely let the woman vaginas, We rarely let them pay. We rarely do you're.

01:13:23
Speaker 3: Just having a vagina, have to do it paying for your dinner when you go out to test.

01:13:26
Speaker 2: It's a nice thing to do. That's why it's a good thing. Well did they ever do that for men? Do they ever go the men don't pay? It's not never? No, right, So what the fuck? First of all, fuck you for fucking up the appetizer situation. Because that guy had it right. Everybody was happy.

01:13:38
Speaker 3: Nobody wanted appetizer for the table, everybody and from the family menu, God, family menu.

01:13:43
Speaker 2: My ask it was bushit. Nobody wants to go with you. Broccoli Rob, fucked broccoli Rob. It's ship. I don't want that. I want baked clams. I want Yeah. Then so then you don't. You don't eat the broccoli Rob, but eat the other things at the table. I'm not shipping in equally.

01:13:57
Speaker 3: To get fucking one appetized out of three, you get the fuck out of here.

01:14:00
Speaker 2: And no one else wanted that either. Only Ed thought it was a good idea family meal because Ed looked at you know whatcause Ed looked at the menu was like like, I like that shit, I'm gonna order it. That's great. Ed.

01:14:10
Speaker 3: That's like if the family meal was chicken, palm and lasagna, and I was like, oh, we should do that because that's what I like.

01:14:17
Speaker 2: Anyway, nothing against Ed. I love Ed.

01:14:19
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, uh, you know, it didn't work. My point is this woman don't pay thing that. That's like, if you go okay, let me miss your question. If you go out with co workers, let's see you go out it's you, it's Garrett, it's Uh, it's Nate, it's Uh, it's Scottie b. And it's Gandhi. Gandhi who's a host of the show and makes more than.

01:14:40
Speaker 2: All of you. Yeah, we would probably tell Gandhi to forget about it. But if it was, if it was, if it was all of us and my girlfriend, I would then say, you know what, split it between all of us, and I'll pay double because I'll pay for my girlfriend.

01:14:54
Speaker 3: Outright, Yes, you absolutely to pay for your girlfriend. But that's bullshit. No way, Gandhi shouldn't pay.

01:14:59
Speaker 2: No way we wack it up amongst us. What's an extra ten dollars? Why are you paying for us?

01:15:04
Speaker 3: She's a woman who has a career and she makes more than all of you.

01:15:08
Speaker 2: She makes more than all of you, I know. But it's a nice gesture. It's what we do. Why is that nice? Why is it nice? And by the way, we've been fought on it before by the women at the table, and then okay, so if you fight back and then you want to throw your car, then you fuk out of here.

01:15:23
Speaker 3: Any of you guys take me out to lunch and go and we should pay for Brody doesn't have a job. No, you got a dick. A nice you are a dick, and you have a dick.

01:15:29
Speaker 2: So I gotta go do my ticket and tell you the credit card stand that these guys have going on. Boys,
