00:03:21
Speaker 2: When we sold our house, I took all the things that were very very valuable and like crystal glasses, my comic books.
00:03:28
Speaker 1: I put them in the car. I drove them over. You drove them over because it's not worth it's not worth it, I guess to have them broken. Yeah.
00:03:35
Speaker 2: I set up storage racks in the new garage and I put stuff in the garage so it would be there temporarily, so I didn't so stuff. I was like, oh, you know what, I can't replace my comics. I can't replace this. You know, valuable china are dishes. I took all that myself.

Well you you don't even like your swimming pool because's indoors. You know how I feel about indoor swimming pools. I'm not with your boozie bastard. Yeah, so I guess the latest is scary.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: We grew up in Brooklyn where our swimming pool was the fire hydrant. We opened up and we ran through the sprinkler right if there was a sprinkler cap on it. Otherwise we threw water at each other. That was the pool was water balloons. And now you're too snooty for an indoor pool.
00:05:10
Speaker 1: Back me up on this, slices slices, back me up that there's something about an indoor swimming pool that is just skivats. Something about an indoor swimming pool now where you could smell the chlorine. There's something about not having fresh air around the.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: Richest, the richest people in the world have indoor pools.
00:05:32
Speaker 1: And by the way, and I wouldn't be able to go in it. I can't do it.
00:05:36
Speaker 2: I can't get my Aren't there windows yeah? The windows, Yeah, I'll get his windows. The sunlight's gonna come in, of course, ventilation.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: I cannot. I cannot go into a you know, you know. It took all my might earlier this summer to go into the wave pool at It was the water park at sponsor sponsor, yes, their sponsor. No, it was the one American dream It was dream Mark water Park. And by the way, beautiful dream Works water Park is beautiful. It's clean, all of it, so there's nothing wrong with it. It's my own mental block. Something in my brain says, oh my god, even though the ceilings are a mile high and the sun's coming in and it's sunny, and I can get a sunburn right now, it's coming up. You got cakes on the griddle.
00:06:29
Speaker 2: Okay, when we go on when we go on Norwegian cruise ships, right, the haven has their own private indoor pool.
00:06:37
Speaker 1: I hate it. I will not go in it. Oh my god, it's awesome. I will not go on it. No, you never go in the hate It's forty foot ceilings and windows. It's gorgeous. You don't go in that pool. That didn't smell like chlorine. There's something that's that's holding me back. Wait, Sean, what happened? Sean? Basically, this something holding me back? That's a song I don't know the song. I don't know the song. There's nothing holding me back, Mendez. There's something holding me back from going into a pool, and it's it has to do with not having fresh air around you. And I don't know why I couldn't tell you. It's not a bougie thing. It's not. It is something. There's a there's something that clicks in my brain.
00:07:32
Speaker 2: Let's move on. I'm gonna go in your pool at some point. Whatever I gotta do to earn your your favor, I'll go in. I'll tell you how great it is. You'll bring over a toilet. Brian and Jetski, Brian and uh all the Brian earl, Yeah, black earl and and and Indian earl, black earl less. His name is less okay less black less, Yeah earl?
00:07:55
Speaker 1: Where's you an earl from black Earl? Oh?
00:07:58
Speaker 2: That's a it's a character from a New York radio Okay, that's nice, all right, all right, So you got your poor all right? So enough about scary who is so bougie. He's moving into a building with a pool and he's not gonna use it. Believe that you're gonna use it.
00:08:13
Speaker 1: You're gonna use it. Because your girlfriend did go. Am I going to the pool? No, No, she's not going to I can't picture it. You ever go to let's say, go to Atlantic City. You know, Harris. In Atlantic City they have that indoor indoor beach boom, the dome, the pool with a beach. Yeah, then they have the lounge chairs and stuff. You shit down on those out of rondeck lounge chairs with a towel and like to take the sun. Dude, it's just because you have no kids. I used to have a water parks in my family. So what you know?
00:08:43
Speaker 2: Me, I sunburned like the men I walk outside. So indoor pool is wonderful. I don't know what's going on. Man, they'll hire a DJ for you. You'll hear that and you'll go right in.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: You'll get in, all right. Well, I do have other things about the apartment. Okay, that's not a bougie problem. But I do I do a bougie problem. Can we do that? Coming up next? Yeah? What of course with Scario body? Should I lime wash my walls? What did you say, lime wash your balls? Lime wash my walls? I don't know what that means exactly. So apparently there's this you Google. You can google it. It's all the range now in twenty twenties, In all twenty twenty six, the hot new thing to do is to instead of painting, you limewash. It's a very old technique done in ancient Greek and Roman times, but it's had a renaissance recently and it you use clay paint that's much poor, more porous and organic, and it's it's better for the environment, better for your breathing, and the paint when you apply it it has the paint looks like it's moving on the wall. It's it's got like almost like a three D quality to it. The problem is it takes about five six seven coats because it's very drippy and watery, and you can't just use a regular classic paint roller. You got to use like brushstrokes, and you got to know what you're fucking doing. And so you got this this paint and apparently to get a painter to do that, I can't get, uh, you know, I can't get Juan Valdez to paint my walls here. I gotta get I actually have to get like someone more of an artist who specializes what's the name of the paint company, Benjamin a whole lot more. So I'm sitting there, I'm talking to this guy and wait a minute, is this way? Wait? Wait?
00:10:54
Speaker 2: Wait wait, hold on the second before you go on the story. In your current building, you went to the superintendent and he gave you I'm leftover paint and he's splattered all over your walls white paint and you got sucked into it. Right now in your new building, what the guy say to you? Oh, you want me to lime wash your walls.
00:11:10
Speaker 1: No, it's not a scam. This Bay taught you. This is a method of This is an actual method that looks It makes your room look alive. It actually will get It's a head turner. People look at like, wow, that's awesome. Oh my god, I want to do that to my room. It's the finish slices. Google lime washed walls and you'll see that these walls are better anything normally. Why you can't just paint your wall? No I can't, because why should I be normal?
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Dude, who's gonna walk into your I want to see footage of people walking into your apartment going, oh my god, these.
00:11:52
Speaker 1: Walls, but not these walls, not not all the walls, but like special the third bathroom, the special room, Like my studio. How cool would it be to have a studio that has character to it and it's like lifelike and mine.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Has character because I'm in it. I guess you need the special walls and doors.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying, like, you get a fun, bright, vibrant color. But so, so I was talking to this. So I was talking to the potential painter and he's like a guy who does is he is? He not a painter, but he has the potential to be a painter. He's one of the people who's gonna give me a quote. And you know, he doesn't speak, doesn't speaking goes very well.
00:12:34
Speaker 2: Okay, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn or does this speaking is very well.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so I'm he's one of the guys that do a lot of the big buildings around here and they do great work. Him and him guy he was recommended to me by the super of my building. So so suckers for paint dot Com. So I'm sitting there and I'm talking to him in the new unit and I'm like walking around and then I said, look, I said, how much for this paint job. You know, all this stuff, and you know he's giving me a good decent price. And then I said, okay, what if I want to limewash my walls instead? Stop laughing? What did he say? Well, he's like, did he have the.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: Over his head? Was there a big bag of money with a dollar sign on it? Well, his face dropped. He goes, what do you want a limewash? He knew what it was. Yeah, So I look at my room.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: I said, see this room right here, this is gonna be the master bedroom. And then so here's gonna be my office. So those two rooms I want like specialized paint special I want to do the lime wash. So he's like, my friend, my friend, I don't I can't do that. He goes, I could do the rest of the apartment for you, but those two rooms I'm gonna have to bring somebody else in who knows how to lime wash. He goes, it's like you almost need like a special artist to do it, or someone who knows what they are doing. Here's what's gonna he's gonna got.
00:14:01
Speaker 2: He's gonna go get another guy he's gonna get He's gonna get a taste of that money. So he's getting a percentage to find you the other guy. So you're gonna be overpaying now for an all in one deal here.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: But but lime washing is such a it's such a pain in the ass that apparently it costs like triple to paint a room with whitewash with with a lime wash. And and now I'm hearing that if you will don't like it, it's hard to get off because you're scraping, scraping, scraping. It's not just regular pain. And thirdly, they said that the lime wash may or may not last more than five to eight years, and you need another code of it but to refresh it, so it may not be I may not be doing the lime washing, Brodie, God damn it. But the guy was gonna bring in a specialist just for that room. So I'm like, why does everything have to cost about your money? But if you google lime washed just paint the walls. Will you google lime washed walls for me, please? And then you'll get it. You're like, Oh, that looks fucking cool. That's next level. Ship's gary, that's what you'll tell me. Hold on, let me see if I got some images of lime washed lime washed walls, and it's a very popular thing. Listen. I would even go so far as to say, some of our slices have lime washed walls. I'm gonna say, no, you don't like that.
00:15:30
Speaker 2: Oh look, you can buy lime washed wallpaper and make it look like the walls.
00:15:34
Speaker 1: Of lime washed.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: You can go on a wayfair and get lime washed wallpaper.
00:15:40
Speaker 1: This was a very common practice in ancient Greek and Roman times apparently.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm looking at what the wall looks like. Uh, it looks like like textured wall. Like like when you when you just buy like textured coating and you buy like a second roller and you do a second coat. Yeah, my wife did that in a hallway once years ago. It came out fantastic. You didn't limewash it, you just uh, what is it called.
00:16:03
Speaker 1: What's it called?
00:16:04
Speaker 2: When you're like a texture paint on your wall with two different colors, that's what it's called color? Two color, faux painting, something like that.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: Okay, two tone. Anyway, it was like a faux glaze, foulk laze painting. My favorite that's my favorite doughnut, that's your favorite point star. All Right, we'll just change the topic because I'm sick of being beaten here, No no, no, no, a lot. You can lime wash your walls all you want. I'll send you what what we did.
00:16:38
Speaker 2: Uh we bought Uh it was Ralph Lauren and it was some kind of speckled paint. I forget what it was. But you use two rollers and when you paint it makes it look textured. You save yourself a fortune.
00:16:49
Speaker 1: Okay, alright, speaking of of of of of a spackled and painted I played pickleball last night, now, scary. I want to know what you don't say you play pickleball? I do. Yeah, you got my pickleball jingle. I don't know what you're talking about pickleball jingle. Go ahead, I gotta find my pickleball jingle now because you don't have it. I don't have you. I know you never gave it to me. So continue. That's a lie. You gotta find you said this last time we had this argument. Continue. Come on, Brodie, I'm gonna find it. We'll get it next time. Here we go. Hold on, I gotta hear. I'll play it great. Hold on, you play it over there? He is an old version. I want to help. That's not it. Okay, Brody all right, come on now, let's let's go. Let's move on. No, no edits, no edits. We're not editing this podcast. You're talking to yourself on you no, forget it, and I'm not editing this out. See this is slices. This is what he does. All right, you know what you suck? No, you send it to me in proper MP three form. All right.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: So I'm playing pickleball last night and I noticed my partner's left bicep is bleeding. So he's got blood dripping down his left arm. Now now he's he's out, he's he's serving. Okay, So the ball is in his in his hand, his paddles in his hands, about to serve. Exactly. I say, hey man, your arm is bleeding. So he puts the ball under his arm for a second, you know, like you know, and what to hold it. And he takes his right hand and he rubs his his left bicep to get the blood to stop, you know this, smear it so it's not dripping on the court. Right now, he's got blood on his hands because he's rubbing. He's got he hit the rubbing thing going. And then he takes the ball in his bloody hand. So I go, I go, So, I go, hey, man, nice shot, filter, man, n shot, thank you filter.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: You just got blood on the ball. I mean, no offense, but now he got bad blood tailor sweet thank you. So he looks at me and he goes, what's the problem the insalia? Thank you? I said, the problem is that you got blood on the ball.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: He's like, he's oh, so okay. So first of all, I'm gonna tell you what he said. But first of all, what would you do, scary? Would you be like, no problem, cool and keep playing?
00:19:18
Speaker 1: No, no, no, So would you just walk off? Or you demand he gets another ball? I would. I would say, look, we're gonna have to break in the action here, let's hit the reset button. Let's get a different ball. Yeah. I would just tell him nicely, what did you do? It's gross? Right, I'm not overreacting you you're not overreacting. So he says to me, Now this is where that's why I almost lost it. Now. Look, I'm not implying anything about this guy. He's a nice guy.
00:19:47
Speaker 2: I don't know about him, but if he's got a transmittable disease, I don't want the blood on the ball.
00:19:53
Speaker 1: Didn't touch my hand. I'm sweating, right, there's a lot going on there.
00:19:58
Speaker 2: You can make a list of all the transmittable diseases that transmit through the blood that would not be good to get. He says, Oh, man, don't worry about it. I'm good, I'm not. I'm not a hemophiliac or anything.
00:20:09
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything? Exactly exactly. A hemophiliac means your blood doesn't clot and if you cut your hand you keep bleeding, it doesn't. He wasn't worried about himself because I'm good. I'm not. I'm good, I'm not a humophiliac. I'm like, no, dude, I'm worried about you have like some awful, deadly disease in your blood. Well, isn't it true that once it hits the oxygen in the air, it dies? No? No, no, no, did you which idiot? Did you hear that from on some podcast? No?
00:20:41
Speaker 2: Anyway, so he goes, we're good, I'm not a humanophiliac. It's all good, and he serves the ball and uh, you know, the other team hits it whatever, and they they they got them. They didn't get the point, but they won. That that serve. So now I have to serve because i'm server too, and I don't there's no other ball around, so I I let the ball. I pick up the ball with the with my paddle, and I'm like, you put the needle on the record. Needle on the record, you needed on the record. Normally, what I would do is I would take the ball on my left hand, toss it, you know, like just drop it and whack it with the paddle in my right hand. But I don't want to touch the ball. So what I do is I take the paddle and I'm balancing the ball. He's not looking at me, and I kind of pop the ball with the paddle. Yeah, and I'm scary. I was praying we lost the point because then I would have to serve again. But no, we win the point and I have to serve again. So I'm doing the same thing again. So he's like, oh, I got you serve. I go day six two two.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't discount your your serve because you didn't lift the ball followed.
00:21:49
Speaker 2: I followed whatever the rules I did. The rules don't get into that. The point is the other two people on the other side were like going. We kind of given it also because they didn't want to touch the ball.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: So like when we lost the point, they have to serve now, and they were like, we're gonna go get other ball. So we got out of the ball. But then eventually it came back around to him where it's his turn to serve again. He still got bloody hand, got bloody hand.
00:22:14
Speaker 2: So, needless to say, we lost because I couldn't serve properly. I wouldn't touch the ball, sir, bloody head. Yeah, so pickle ball players, what would you even non pickaball players?
00:22:24
Speaker 1: What are you doing that? Like? I didn't want to be like, dude, it's fucking gross. Get don't wash your hand. I don't want to cause your grown ass adults. I feel like you get the Yeah, as an adult, wouldn't you just go, oh fuck, I got blood on my hands. I better go wash my hands. Yeah, but you're like, oh, it's my blood, So what do white cat's on the ball. But it's okay, he's not a hemophiliac. What does that mean? You know what it means, But how does it relate? Cannot relate? Can relate? All right, we'll be right back, all right, Yeah.
00:22:53
Speaker 3: Boys Podcast.
00:22:54
Speaker 1: We will be right back.
00:22:57
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear about a water glass problem I had or a I texted the wrong person problem?
00:23:03
Speaker 1: Yes, next wrong. I also want to tell you about about my my nephew Nico, but go ahead, No I want to hear about it.
00:23:15
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you the I'll give you the I'll give you the water glass problem. So I'm over my friend paper Menus house and he says, you want anything to drink? And I said, uh, yeah, a glass of water be fine.
00:23:28
Speaker 1: So he knows me. Okay, it's not like he did this by accident. He hands me. No.
00:23:35
Speaker 2: By the way, this is when I went for dinner and his family's there, Like, I'm eating dinner with his family, his mother.
00:23:41
Speaker 1: And father, his father in law is there. There's a lot of people at the table. Okay.
00:23:46
Speaker 2: He puts the glass down, scary yep, and it's got a Yankee logo on it.
00:23:53
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't drink from it. Oh man, come on, No, No, he knew it. He deliberately gave me. It wasn't like yes, no, he's a Yankee fan, so he knew. He gave me a glass. He's stared at him like, uh, drink the water. I'm like, I'm not drinking it. I'm not drinking it. Would you drink the water? Yes? Because to me, it's just a logo, it's just a lott who cares. You know, you're not drinking, you know, to say something you're not You're not slurping the sweat of Aaron Judge. You if you go to if you went to Michigan, you went to Michigan and somebody gives you a Michigan State glass, You're not drinking out of it. There's rivalries in this world that people are not going to cross. Okay, Vikings fans are not drinking out of a Chicago Bears mug. They're not doing it, not doing you know. I feel that the only thing reason why I wouldn't is because I wouldn't want him to pick up his phone and sneak a quick picture and be like, ah, this scary with a Yankee logo like right, something like that, you know where people are trying to do something you know that underhanded and then later posted online. We we did that with our with our buddy Ryan Knuckles, Huge Ryan Knuckles. Who's Ryan Knuckles? You know Knuckles? I don't know is that because it seem drags knuckles when he wants he's done. He's a big muscular guy. But his last name is Knuckles. It's spelled n U c k o l s knuckles like Nickols, but knuckles. Does nu see O k O l s Yeah? Knuckles anyway, yeah o us. He's a huge Dallas cowboy fan. Okay, and forgot what happened somewhere. We were at a bar and it was really cold outside and somebody was like, oh you should you know? He goes, oh you want to hat? Oh, bar my hat, and my buddy put as we walk out of the bar, puts the New York Giant hat on his head. No, he didn't know, but he didn't notice it. He was all thanks man. He was like half drunk. Anyway, he's like a hat. And then we ran ahead of him and we took several pictures of him in a Yankee in a New York Giant beanie. So this picture forever lives on the group chat. Every time the Giants play the Cowboys. If the Giants were to win, whatever the case, right Giant win or a cowboy loss, this picture rears a tuggly head. So so for that reason, I wouldn't want to be caught with a Yankee logoed uh, you know, mugging my hand.
00:26:36
Speaker 2: However, but if if Knuckles saw the logo on the hat when he wasn't drunk, when he was kept it on his head.
00:26:41
Speaker 1: No, but we'd rather be That's my point.
00:26:45
Speaker 2: I'd rather be thirsty than drink out of a glass with a Yankee logo and paperman, you knew it.

Christmas time, my girlfriend Robin gives Lucas the older one one hundred dollars in say a free show. Sorry, go ahead, one hundred bucks. Boom. Okay, that's very nice, very nice. I shouldn't have to do, I said, what are you doing? Give it him money? Anyway. A couple of weeks later, the money had gone missing. He didn't know what he did with the money, Lucas. So my sister was like, this is crazy. You didn't spend it. And he's like, no, I didn't spend it. Where'd it go? I don't know. They looked under every couch, they would they you know, They asked, when these couches are sofas, sofas, these are couches. Okay, scared, Okay, scary just made a stink face like his sister's got he couches, said that shitty couch facette. She's got fine taste in furniture like me. You just no, she's gonna fine tastes the furniture like her older brother. So she so anyway, they asked, Nico, did you see this money? Did you see that one hundred dollars? No, I don't know where it is. Nobody knew where his money is, and and everyone and she kept circling back, what's going on, Nico? You're sure you didn't see this money? Nope, Lucas, you sure you didn't spend it? Nope, didn't spend it? All right? Great? Fast forward to last week, my sister gets a call from the school. Hello, missus, scary, Yeah, we have your son Nico here. He's trying to buy candy with a one hundred dollars bill. Oh no, oh, my sister was furious. She died. He lied, and he stole from his brother, and he and he thought he could get away with spending one hundred dollar bills in fourth grade, third whatever grade. He said, he was eight years old. He brought the fucking money to school. He stole for his brother. He lied to his mother, my sister and brother in law repeatedly, and just kept it at weeks and weeks, sat on it for like two months, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it just turns up at the candy sale. And like my sister was beside herself because, I mean, this could be the this could be the start of a bigger problem. Don't you think? What what is the punishment for this? I don't well. She first of all, she took away his roadblocks and all the video games and everything. She took away anything she possibly could to illustrate that this was beyond awful, like you because he had never First of all, he had never done anything like this before. But now this is an example of this kid being being, you know, from his own brother. He stole from his brother and it lied to his mother mother, and then tried to spend the money for on candy, which he wasn't supposed to be having.
00:31:39
Speaker 2: Dude, this kid's going to be in the mob before you know it. He's already got the makings.
00:31:43
Speaker 1: What what is it?
00:31:44
Speaker 2: What did Lucas say? Well, he was his own brother stole from him.
00:31:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he's a fifteen year old, you know, like whatever, you know, he uninterested. But but yeah, I don't know, like for I don't know how to deal with this, Like like my sister was, I said, what are you trying to? How are you gonna reprimand him? How you what are the consequences of this? She was, I chose, I took away everything, everything, and he's got to learn a lesson. And how is a teachable moment? Like what do you? What do you do? You're That's why I started this conversation by saying you're a parent, ah, because no one saw that coming.
00:32:26
Speaker 2: Part of me is thinking like I would take something away fro him permanently, like as if it was stolen from him, so he'd see how it felt mm hmm, like give something to his to charity or something like.
00:32:37
Speaker 1: Bye bye wow. Yeah, and that's terrible.
00:32:42
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, uh, everybody's kids lie a little bit, but that's that's beyond. I'll tell you for one hundred dollars, I would say, in about another month, you know what he could buy You'll leather couch.
00:32:58
Speaker 1: Update update on the letter a leather couch. Yeah, you want to hear the update? I'm slightly really you heard it here first? Oh, hit her her first? What's the update? In the end? Beatles Lincoln Park or at Lincoln Park. Yeah, in the end, also on the Abbey Road, one of my favorite albums of all time. Favorite in the in the end, God Rest his soul, Chester Beddington. I heard some crazy ship conspiracy about that over the weekend, about Chester and and others. I know, I know. I'm just saying I heard some some crazy TikTok appeared. I don't sign up for that. I don't sign up for this stuff, but anyway it gets served to me. So so anyway, my my point is my point. Oh, the the couch, the sofa. Three, there's three endings to this Facebook marketplace with Jetski Bryan. He had it listed and he had a guy from Hoboken who said, I have a two thousand dollars budget. Had he had it listed at two thousand dollars. He says, I have a two thousand dollars budget. He says, it's gonna cost me two hundred and fifty dollars to remove my current couch and pick that one up and bring it here and up a five floor walk up. And so best offer I can give is seventeen fifty to which take it run John, take it and run exactly. Jetske Brian was like on my behalf was like yes, yes, And what happens in typical Facebook marketplace fashion. The guy ghosted him, ghosted him. Well, we don't know that because he did. He didn't come back a couple of times, but anyway, still knows okay, but he said he would take it, and then another woman is it still available, I'm interested, I want to see it, and ghosted all for not And that was at the ripe price of two thousand. Then I put it on my internal building link, you know, right here in my building. I suggested that to you. Yes, I put it on there for nineteen hundred dollars cash. I'm not going to name the person. But last night I get an email from the person and she writes, where is it? Here is? I saw your post. We are interested in the sofa. Is it still available? If so, do you have dimensions and can we see it? And it's put the dimensions in the listening. It was in there, but it was buried. No, no in the posting. No, no in the in in my posting for my building link. It was not in there. No, was on your phone. No. It was my fault. So I went back to her. I said, you know, I said, uh, she's got a very prominent job because it has a stamp, her name stamped there signature. I gave it to the dimensions. This is this was twenty four hours ago to the minute. Yeah, well do this. I gave it dimensions and my phone number. I said, you want to come up and see it. So I have not not gotten an answer. And then here's the this is the icing on the cake. I listed it in a in a very big antique chair and sofa website where they all where those people circle the drain, the one one of the ones. They told them. I gave you yes, right listed it there. I get an email this afternoon, good news, your item has sold. I had it listed for two and fifty dollars the actual retail price two hundred twenty four to fifty. It's sold for twenty four to fifty. No yes to people in my is someone in Miami, but here's and they and they pay the shipping, and they said, hey, you can't get a couch local. This is not just any fucking couch. Oh my god, I'm gonna throw my chair through the goddamn window. But no, but nobody in the Southeast America has ladies and gentlemen. This is a twenty year old vintage piece from Design within Reach. They don't produce this anymore. It's Italian leather. I'm not going through this aga. I'm gonna rip the hair out of my head. If you want this sofa in this style, if you want it's not just any sofa, you're gonna have to find it used somewhere, and you're gonna pay whatever you're not gonna pay. They're getting shipped out of your apartment. They're gonna have this company. I have, I have, I have a quandary coming up here. The company said, the shipping information will be sent to you in a day or so. They arrange for all of that. That's what this company does. So they'll arrange for a shipper, they'll come, they'll pack it up, and they will get it delivered to the people who bought it in Miami. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. That's the problem. I sold it for twenty four fifty whatever it was. My take on that, My takeaway is one thy, four hundred forty dollars. They take forty percent, they take four zero percent. So dude, So here's here's the rub or or not. If this couple from my building gets back to me and wants the damn thing for nineteen hundred, what is my consequence for renegging on this or rescinding the sale? You have to read. You better read the contract. Well I did. They said that they will ban me for life from being a member of that site. Well because, but but is it worth it? Because I'm gonna make five hundred dollars extra and it's in this worth building. Let me work it. That's reversion. Okay. You could call your y, your neighbor, wait, call before you come. I need to shave much shot. Yeah, you could call your on your sofa. You could call your neighbor right now. Yes, I know.
00:39:22
Speaker 2: You can call your neighbor right now and say, if you want the sofa right now, seventeen fifty.
00:39:27
Speaker 1: No, it's nineteen scary. Oh, to speed up the sale.
00:39:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, if you if you wanted this second, commit right now seventeen fifty. If it's worth three hundred dollars to fuck over these people in Florida.
00:39:41
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Well, well that's the thing over the company. Didn't you know forty percent? No? No, I didn't read the fine print on that. I didn't know they get forty percent. That's a lot of money. How did you not look that up? And where's my cart? I recommended the sight to you. I get ten percent, don't I? Yeah? Okay, come on anyway, I don't know I have I feel like I need to go through with the sale to the people in Miami and and take a five hundred dollars haircut on it.
00:40:12
Speaker 2: Well, you don't have a commitment. Truthfully, it could be the best offer you get.
00:40:17
Speaker 1: It's yeah, in which case I told you it meets it. It checks all the boxes, mister accomplished fourteen fifty right, tax free or a They going to report your taxes on this? No, you don't have to.
00:40:29
Speaker 2: Don't have to pay taxes because it's less than what you paid for. Yes, somebody comes takes it out of your house. Nightmare solved. Your hands are clean, right, take the money and run. Okay, but not, but don't be but don't get greedy and run.
00:40:42
Speaker 1: Don't get greedy and f over f over the company, get banned from the company, and then and then, uh, just take the extra money from the people in the building who may want it and what and wheel it out of here. I don't know. It's a tough call. I don't know. All right, Well, they've ever gotten back to me, so all right to be content? The words of Steve Miller band that scary. I have I have a present for you. Oh really, I have a present for it. That's so nice of you, Brodie. You've never bought me one thing.

00:43:21
Speaker 1: But that was an original? That was nice? All right? Okay? I wrote that designed it, created the musical phrasing. I laid out the choruses and the verses and to accent, and I did I designed all that.
00:43:32
Speaker 2: That doesn't just happen. That's not just AI. That's me working it, working it, working it.
00:43:37
Speaker 1: You know, one might say I I lime wall painted it exactly. Hey did you uh watch the super Bowl? Obviously you did? Duh. I went to my buddy Jay Smoller's Brooklyn super Bowl party, Brooklyn Basement super Bowl party, and it was a television Oh it is huge. He's got a good TV, nice sound system.
00:44:00
Speaker 2: Okay, as I got invited to a party with a forty seven inch TV, I'm like.
00:44:03
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no no. Well I'll say he had it catered. Now now, David Brody, Yeah, if you and I'm not gonna, I'm not going to out the place because we want it's It's like twenty foot hero sandwiches, right, It's one of those types of places. Yeah, and I don't want them to suffer because it's mom and pop and they're probably barely hanging on. But if you wander a hero, right, six foot hero, you want to stop grinder hold and then you order some pasta dishes or some for some hot trays, and you order, you order wings, all that stuff when you when you bring this stuff home and you open it up, specifically the wings. Mm hmm, what would you expect to see?
00:44:51
Speaker 2: Well, I'm let me run down the list of the things, all the things I would expect to see, in no particular order. Yeah, I would expect to see carrots and celery Okay. I would expect to see dipping dressings like blue cheese dressing.
00:45:04
Speaker 1: Sure.
00:45:04
Speaker 2: I would expect to see the sauce on the wings yep, not on the side, yep. And I would expect to see a lot of wet naps and napkins and and and uh ways to wipe my hands and face. Yeah, all the things right, all the and all the the yeah, the condiments, the side, all the stuff, everything back up es exactly because it's Super Bowl Sunday.
00:45:29
Speaker 1: Uh uh. You're having a party at your house, you having in a body. Yeah, so you want buffalo wings with all the stuff, Yeah, all the stuff. He opens up the wings, none of the stuff, none of what you mentioned. And the wings were just regular wings. There was no sauce on them, no French red hot. He's like oh my god. And I was the first guest there and he's like, mother fucker, and I'm like, what's going on? Is they fucking made regular wings? Brody? Who the fuck? It? Doesn't use their brain and assume or even even just like he ordered it. He ordered wings. Did he order spicy wings or he just said wings? He said wings? Yeah, But did he say I want wings hot, mild, spicy hot? Did he say anything breaded? He just said wings. It's the Super Bowl Sunday. You're getting six foot heroes. You're getting all the things. You get the wings with the hot sauce, you get it all. You get, the celery, you get the blue cheese, you get all of it. You want wings. Or if you're the store, call the guy up and say, hey, we have several kinds of wings here, and when you say wings, we just give you just wings, naked wings, just just breaded and fried wings with nothing. That's what wing redded. They were at least breaded. They were breaded and fried wings. That's it. Just so he was was the breading. Was the breading seasoned at all? Was it like, no, no, nothing, there's roasted wings, whatever, baked whatever. It sounds like your friend Jason got roasted. Well, he was. He was fit to be tied. But I said, look, cooler head heads prevail, I said, I said, it's very simple to make hot wings, buffalo wings out of naked wings. You have the wings, they're cooked. I said, right, So all you gotta do is he has Frank's Red Hot in his house and butter. Equal parts Frank's Red Hot and melted butter with that ship on everything. And then you throw us a little bit of honey in it, some garlic powder, some other things, mix it all up, tossed it in a big ball with the wings, and ye, pot ow it was. I get doing all the work I gave him, Yes, I gave him the idea of doing it. He said, Scary Jones saved by super Bowl party because he was freaking out. You know what to do, And I said, bro, it's not that difficult to make buffalo sauce. It's literally equal parts butter and Frank's Red Hot, and you just got butter. He had Frank's Red Hot. Of course he lives, he has a kitchen, he has a house. He is a fan of Frank's Red Hot in my house. Of course, you put that shit on everything, tabasco whatever it is, but it's equal parts. That's why chat Chipet told me that. But anyway, can you anyway? That was it And I said, you're gonna say something to the guy and he goes, nah, the moment is past. What what are you're making me upset? Now? For him?
00:48:35
Speaker 3: No?
00:48:36
Speaker 1: He paid full price?
00:48:37
Speaker 2: But no, did he did you at least look at the menu on the website, like, see what like? Do they have other kinds of wings or do they only have wings?
00:48:44
Speaker 1: No? Sauce? Is that all they sell? It was one of those verbal over the phone orders. That's how old school those place is, give me this, this and that. You can't you can't.
00:48:55
Speaker 2: You gotta order, You gotta say what you want. Can he swear that he ordered spicy wings?
00:49:00
Speaker 1: He said its But you have to assume on Super Bowl Sunday you want wings, or at least clarify and say, hey, we have several kinds of wings here. Would you like buffalo wings? That's their job? Yeah, I know, but if you're to wings, that's not But the default is the default on Super Bowl Sunday shouldn't just be naked wings.
00:49:21
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I don't know. I think it's a little both. I think it's partially his fault and they did a bad job as a restaurant.
00:49:28
Speaker 1: And he's not getting free dessert because he didn't ask for it, and you know whatever, he didn't want to make a thing of it. He's not he's not a guy who makes a man. I think you should call up and get a credit.
00:49:37
Speaker 2: Then you see, I'm disappointed now for him, I'm disappointed.
00:49:41
Speaker 1: You know what else I saw at the airport coming home? This is this is a brook no the airport coming back from Miami. I'm going to tell you this. This is just a little something I'm gonna throw in there because it's food related. A little something food related. Okay, we go to what was it Papa john Sparrows was one of those places at the airport, probably, and we ordered a meatball sub right through a couple of stuff to split David Brody, what goes on a meatball sub?
00:50:17
Speaker 2: Well, you got your bread, you got your meatballs, you got you got your sauce. Yeah, but if you don't say meatball palm, you're not gonna get cheese.
00:50:25
Speaker 1: No, No, we got cheese. Okay.
00:50:29
Speaker 3: Uh.
00:50:30
Speaker 2: If they put anything else on that sandwich, it's jots, it's it's.
00:50:35
Speaker 1: No those were Those were the exact ingredients. But let me specify American cheese. Who the fuck puts American cheese on a mepal hero with sauce? Who does that? I would almost rather look at a video of you kissing me. It was through Ai. You don't want to tell. I was with Danielle, Gandhi and Nate and you can get away with provolone, yes you can get but you can't get away with American cheese. What state were you in? We were in Florida. We were coming home, Western Florida, North Florida. No, you're in Miami. But no, no, no, this goes no, no, no, nowhere, Hey, Middle America slices? Do you you put American cheese with sauce on a meatball, sandwich, grind or whatever you want to call it?
00:51:30
Speaker 2: A get away from Italian neighborhoods. Who knows what people put on that food.
00:51:34
Speaker 1: But American cheese is the doesn't go it's the furthest cheese even even would you say Swiss could be in the in the family maybe maybe months.
00:51:44
Speaker 2: I can tell you I have put American cheese on red sauce meat loaf really because it's like a cheeseburger.
00:51:49
Speaker 1: It's like a cheeseburger, and I guess, I guess, I guess.
00:51:52
Speaker 2: A meatball palm hero is not that different than meat loaf, except it's got Italian seasoning and the sauce is different, like a meat loaf is like tomato paste.
00:52:02
Speaker 1: It's not like it just doesn't go American cheese. Yeah, no, no, that's not terrible terrible in every state, no matter where you live, if you're in Montana, there's no excuse for that.
00:52:15
Speaker 2: I don't even think like our junior high school would have done that, like our public school would have done that.
00:52:20
Speaker 1: They made they made some weird combos right along the way.
00:52:23
Speaker 2: Even the lunch lady with the fish nets, the fish, the hairnet and the flappy arms wouldn't have done that a lunch lady arms, lady, lunch lady arms or.
00:52:33
Speaker 1: Even even listen, we used to have the fish with the cheese in the middle, a fish with the American cheese. Even that's passable with the fish though, play a fish with cheese. But you don't put yellow American on a sub, on a meatball sub. What are you doing I'll let me ask you. My family, my parents. So it was when I was a kid. We were in California.
00:52:53
Speaker 2: I think we were in Carmel, California, which is northern California, and we went into an Italian restaurant and they ordered chicken palm because that's what I did, even as a kid. I was maybe ten, eleven, twelve years old. I was ten years old and it didn't taste right. And my father tasted it and he's like, this doesn't taste right. He's excuse me. Now, keep in mind, this is a long time ago, scary when when these cheese is wren as popular as they are now, and he said, what kind of cheese is this doesn't taste right? She said, it's Monterey Jack cheese. Jack cheese Jack cheese. Now now now Monterey Jack and pepper Jack are more popular. But if you don't know the cheese back in the day when it wasn't a thing, and they go, it's Jack cheese, doesn't that sound shitty?
00:53:35
Speaker 1: It sounds crafty awful. Yeah, it sounds like like like some guy named Jack sold them cheese. It just didn't belong on a chicken Jack cheese. It's like Jack cheese. So what about Swiss? Can Swiss be passable on a met pole hero No, because Swiss has this distinct taste that I would think would it doesn't listen. Even if Swiss.
00:53:55
Speaker 2: Cheese tasted good, it isn't the flavor you ordered.
00:53:59
Speaker 1: It is in the flavor profile.
00:54:01
Speaker 2: You want muzzarella cheese, you want pro you want an Italian cheese, you want you want, you want Pecorino, Romano Palman cheese, you want what? You don't want American cheese. It's just on your meatball.
00:54:17
Speaker 1: So what you do? What you pick it off? That you return and I ate it? I mean, we were hungry, but but the look on my face of the look of defeat and despair, like they were taking pictures of me and they were laughing. Danielle was laughing at me, and I'm like, Danielle, you're an Italian. This is this is the sacrilegious here. What's going on? You know?
00:54:36
Speaker 2: So question, what if you had to eat a foot long meatball palm with American cheese, or or getting an indoor pool.
00:54:46
Speaker 1: I'm eating the meatball palm every time. I'm not getting in that indoor pool. Oh was that our cue to take a break. I don't know. I don't know.
00:54:58
Speaker 2: I thought you hit the button. You're move like you're gonna hit the button. Oh, but you were choking. You were chokingcast Is this our last break? I have a question for you.
00:55:12
Speaker 1: Okay, this is I may have an answer, all right, So I have I'm gonna I have two friends. Uh, they have the same name, same first name. You only have two friends. Nope, I have two friends with the same first name.
00:55:27
Speaker 2: We'll call them. We'll call them Mike for the sake of this conversation. So Mike, Mike one is someone I talked to a lot.
00:55:35
Speaker 1: Okay, I have dinner, I see them a lot, No problem.
00:55:38
Speaker 2: Mike too is someone that I was friendly with when I was single before I got married.
00:55:46
Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, I lived with a long time ago. He was my roommate.
00:55:54
Speaker 2: I haven't really spoken to him like a real conversa other than like Facebook now and then.
00:56:03
Speaker 1: Maybe fifteen years maybe more, okay, okay. Now.
00:56:08
Speaker 2: I used to have a phone that I got for free to the radio station. Had an eight four or five area code. Ye people from back in the day. If I gave them that number, they may not have my new number because they haven't seen me in twenty years. But twenty years ago I had eight four or five number because we had Verizon was a sponsor and they gave me a phone for the morning show.
00:56:31
Speaker 1: So for like eight years I had this eight fully five number.
00:56:34
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm supposed to meet Mike one every day Mike for dinner. So I tell my car, Hey, text Mike, okay, I don't pay attention to which Mike okay, I wasn't worthy of paying attention, and so I text, Hey, roots and such as closed. I probably won't get there until five point fifty five. We're just to meet for dinner a five forty five. So I realize after I send that text message I sent it to.
00:57:12
Speaker 1: The wrong mic.
00:57:13
Speaker 2: Of course you do so, right, so I so I then I write back, sorry about that, Mike, my car is glitching and sent the text to you by mistake. Hope all is good with you, Figuring he'll see my number, you'll know it's me. We haven't spoken in a while, I obviously have dinner plans whatever. So he says sorry to hear that the roads closed. I hope things are fine otherwise, So I write back, Yeah, things are okay. Just all of the roads are messed up around where I'm trying to get to get to, so uh, I need to get home and change and then go out to dinner.
00:57:51
Speaker 1: But I'm happy to hear from you. So that's a win.
00:57:54
Speaker 2: I said, By the way, your family looks lovely on Facebook, So he writes back, thanks, yours does too get home safely?
00:58:05
Speaker 1: So I go, thanks, Mike.
00:58:07
Speaker 2: And I found that weird because none of there's no pictures of my family on my Facebook page.
00:58:13
Speaker 1: Oh I don't. I don't post pictures of my family. So I'm like, huh, I guess he was being like fake polite because I don't have any pictures. When was the last time he spoke to this guy? Fifteen twenty years ago? Now again maybe on Facebook? He comments on something, I comment on something his, But like, you know, we were good friends in high school, and then years later we were roommates.
00:58:37
Speaker 2: He was at my wedding, he was at my wedding party. You know, I made a few times and it's been like twenty years whatever. So then, like I don't know, five or six minutes go by and we had a whole conversation about my family and house, everything going. He writes, I'm trying to figure this out. Don't get insulted. But who is texting me from this?
00:58:59
Speaker 1: Oh no, Now he didn't know who I was, but I would like to just remind you, he said, sorry to hear that. Hope things are good with you. Otherwise your family looks great too. Blah blah blah. Get home safely. Yeah. So he was carrying the conversation and realizes, you don't know who I am. Did you say who you were?
00:59:23
Speaker 2: So he says, I'm apologizing in advance smiley face emoji. So I said, I give you a clue. You know me from Brooklyn? Scary, He gets three other people.
00:59:35
Speaker 1: I'm not you, not me, So I said we went to school together, and he gets another guy. So I said, I I'll give you one more clue, but if you get this wrong, we're done. And I said I was your roommate.
00:59:52
Speaker 2: We shared an apartment together, and I know he shared an apartment with someone else from Brooklyn, but he didn't go to school with them, so it's.
00:59:59
Speaker 1: Got to be me.
01:00:00
Speaker 2: So finally he says, oh my god, David, I'm so sorry. I'll save this number, you know, let's catch up and have a drink. Blah blah blah blah.
01:00:07
Speaker 1: But the point was, rather than just go who is who is this, he had a whole conversation. Well that's human nature, right. I feel like I would do the same thing. I would just try to figure it out. I was just trying to figure it out, like, who is this person? Now? The plot twist would have been if he didn't guess that it was David Brody, right right, the plot twist could have been that it wasn't even Mike, that the number changed and it was somebody else, and now now you're talking to some random stranger, right, yeah, because you could have called that number and maybe there's somebody just fucking with you and say, maybe it's like Janice, you know, and like Janis is like, well, you know, but what would if you didn't know who the person was, what would you do? Would you just like play along til you figured it out? Yeah? I think he was trying to figure it out. I think he was trying to get a clue, like me going, hey man, it's been a while since I've seen you. My god, can you believe it's been twenty years since we lived together. It's more than that now, it's almost about yeah, it's a long time. So I guess he was hoping I would say something obvious. Yeah, well, he's just like the slide. But the curiosity got the best of him because even after the conversation was over and you were ready to let it go, well because I signed off, okay, frozen, because I signed off and he realized there would be no more clues. Yeah, exactly. So it got the best of him. He's like, I gotta know who this is. So I'm just gonna fess up. That's that's hysterical, all right. So I got one more phone story for you and then we'll wrap it up. Okay.
01:01:36
Speaker 2: So you said sometimes people get new phone numbers, or if somebody gets a phone number that's not with somebody else's at one point, right when you give up a phone number, sometimes they become other people's phone numbers.
01:01:45
Speaker 1: This is true.
01:01:47
Speaker 2: So I have I don't know, maybe a dozen legitimate celebrities and have their phone numbers, legitimate celebrities, and I don't know, years later, if and Rique Glaci has changed his number, I'm never gonna call.
01:02:03
Speaker 1: Him, but I'm not gonna delete it. I'm sure number, I'm sure he changed it.
01:02:07
Speaker 2: I don't know, but in my mind, if I don't ever call it, I still haven't rique Glacier's phone number. Okay, so you know Joey Pantaliano is right, Yes, Joey Pants.
01:02:18
Speaker 1: Joey Pants, he was on The Sopranos and he's been a lot of movies. He's been hundreds of movies.
01:02:24
Speaker 2: Well, he's in the new TV show on Marvel on the Disney plus a new Marvel show called wonder Man, and he's terrific in it. Sure, so a lot of you know, I do a podcast called Marvel Movie Talk where a bunch of us nerdy guys and women talk about episodes and break them down and analyze them and give opinions and review them. And so I said, hey, you know what Joey Pants is in wonder Man.
01:02:50
Speaker 1: He was terrific. I have his phone number.
01:02:53
Speaker 2: When he was the last time he was in See one hundred, he was promoting his book back when I worked there and I was the executive producer, and he said, hey.
01:03:00
Speaker 1: He loved beating you.
01:03:00
Speaker 2: He hugged me, he signed autographed the book for me, and he said, hey, I love you guys.
01:03:06
Speaker 1: If you ever need anything, here's my name. Here's my phone number. Rather yea, and he.
01:03:12
Speaker 2: Goes, can you send me a CD an air check of this show on CD? He gave me his home address and I mailed him a copy of the air check on a CD. And he said, if you ever need anything, you call me.
01:03:23
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's tempting, especially so when that's the offer is put in front of your face right now. This is scary.
01:03:31
Speaker 2: This has got to be seventeen eighteen years ago because we were in Jersey City, so I know it was before two thousand and eight.
01:03:36
Speaker 1: It's a long time ago. So I called the number and it does, it does. Nobody answers, no voicemail.
01:03:44
Speaker 2: So I texted, I'm like, hey, Joey, listen, you met me when you came up to see one hundred.
01:03:49
Speaker 1: My name is David.
01:03:51
Speaker 2: I was the executive producer of the morning show. I don't say I'm not there anymore. I just go You met, what you're up? You said, if I haven't need anything, you'd be more than happy to do anything I needed. We had a great time.
01:04:00
Speaker 1: Hugged me.
01:04:01
Speaker 2: You were wonderful and wonder man. I'm wondering if you'd like to come on the podcast with us. We're recording tomorrow. You'd be awesome. You were so good in the show. I hope I'm not disturbing you. It's Super Bowl Sunday. But you'll get back to me whenever.
01:04:15
Speaker 1: Scary.
01:04:16
Speaker 2: Within a minute, I get a text message back, this is not his number. Stop fucking texting me.
01:04:24
Speaker 1: He is.
01:04:25
Speaker 2: This is my number now for a long time. So I said, I'm so sorry. You must get people looking for him all the time. They wrote back, for years, people are still looking for Joey Pants.
01:04:36
Speaker 1: Apparently he gave his phone number to everybody, everybody, and.
01:04:39
Speaker 2: That's why he changed his number, because probably people like me had his phone number and we're taken advantage.
01:04:44
Speaker 1: So now here's the thing. I have his home address. Do I mail him a letter and ask him to be on the podcast and tell him I don't have your new number. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, that's okay, that's fine. So but this person, he's a famous person's phone number, and they're not very happy about it. So it's funny because the other day at the Super Bowl, Charlie Pooth was singing the national anthem. I have his cell phone number and we have communicated on text before. So I was gonna be like, yo, break it late tonight, Charlie. But I'm like, I don't want to be that guy. No, you don't know him well enough for that. Nah. No, or I was going to hit him back today or something, be like yo, Charlie, it's scary, hope. You know it was. You know, there's really no reason to do that, but I I thought about it. Everyone was trying to everyone at the party, like, yo, come on, text Pooth right now, text him, call him. I'm like, no, he's on TV.
01:05:42
Speaker 2: Singing, no, thank you. I'm not going to do that, thank you. What's the guy's name? What's the guy's name? I'm joining blank here. He's the act the Broadway actor we always have on the show.

00:03:12
Speaker 2: You're moving a mile away, put them in your car, put them in a box, carry them over.
00:03:16
Speaker 1: That's what I did mile I'm moving a couple of streets away. Well yeah, okay.
00:03:21
Speaker 2: When we sold our house, I took all the things that were very very valuable and like crystal glasses, my comic books.
00:03:28
Speaker 1: I put them in the car. I drove them over. You drove them over because it's not worth it's not worth it, I guess to have them broken. Yeah.
00:03:35
Speaker 2: I set up storage racks in the new garage and I put stuff in the garage so it would be there temporarily, so I didn't so stuff. I was like, oh, you know what, I can't replace my comics. I can't replace this. You know, valuable china are dishes. I took all that myself.
00:03:52
Speaker 1: All right, Well you know that point point doing fourteen point nine billion dollar sound system. Thank you doing it yourself doing noted. Yeah, that's gonna be an issue. I have to disconnect all this stuff. I have a lot of electronics in my place, and so I don't know what I'm gonna do here. I need to find a lamp that goes on. You can't turn it on switch. That's a stupid lamp. That's not a stupid lamp. You just don't know how to use it. You have to you have to command it to turn on it off.
00:04:21
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, next time you give me the keys to your apartment to go in to get something, you should tell me.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: It's all voice commands. My lighting goes on and off with the sound of my voice. I just now, are you still gonna give me keys to the apartment when I need to get in to get something? With your new place? Is that well? With the new place, I'm not so sure because that place has a swimming pool and you are not worthy of my swimming pool. Well you you don't even like your swimming pool because's indoors. You know how I feel about indoor swimming pools. I'm not with your boozie bastard. Yeah, so I guess the latest is scary.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: We grew up in Brooklyn where our swimming pool was the fire hydrant. We opened up and we ran through the sprinkler right if there was a sprinkler cap on it. Otherwise we threw water at each other. That was the pool was water balloons. And now you're too snooty for an indoor pool.
00:05:10
Speaker 1: Back me up on this, slices slices, back me up that there's something about an indoor swimming pool that is just skivats. Something about an indoor swimming pool now where you could smell the chlorine. There's something about not having fresh air around the.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: Richest, the richest people in the world have indoor pools.
00:05:32
Speaker 1: And by the way, and I wouldn't be able to go in it. I can't do it.
00:05:36
Speaker 2: I can't get my Aren't there windows yeah? The windows, Yeah, I'll get his windows. The sunlight's gonna come in, of course, ventilation.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: I cannot. I cannot go into a you know, you know. It took all my might earlier this summer to go into the wave pool at It was the water park at sponsor sponsor, yes, their sponsor. No, it was the one American dream It was dream Mark water Park. And by the way, beautiful dream Works water Park is beautiful. It's clean, all of it, so there's nothing wrong with it. It's my own mental block. Something in my brain says, oh my god, even though the ceilings are a mile high and the sun's coming in and it's sunny, and I can get a sunburn right now, it's coming up. You got cakes on the griddle.
00:06:29
Speaker 2: Okay, when we go on when we go on Norwegian cruise ships, right, the haven has their own private indoor pool.
00:06:37
Speaker 1: I hate it. I will not go in it. Oh my god, it's awesome. I will not go on it. No, you never go in the hate It's forty foot ceilings and windows. It's gorgeous. You don't go in that pool. That didn't smell like chlorine. There's something that's that's holding me back. Wait, Sean, what happened? Sean? Basically, this something holding me back? That's a song I don't know the song. I don't know the song. There's nothing holding me back, Mendez. There's something holding me back from going into a pool, and it's it has to do with not having fresh air around you. And I don't know why I couldn't tell you. It's not a bougie thing. It's not. It is something. There's a there's something that clicks in my brain.
00:07:32
Speaker 2: Let's move on. I'm gonna go in your pool at some point. Whatever I gotta do to earn your your favor, I'll go in. I'll tell you how great it is. You'll bring over a toilet. Brian and Jetski, Brian and uh all the Brian earl, Yeah, black earl and and and Indian earl, black earl less. His name is less okay less black less, Yeah earl?
00:07:55
Speaker 1: Where's you an earl from black Earl? Oh?
00:07:58
Speaker 2: That's a it's a character from a New York radio Okay, that's nice, all right, all right, So you got your poor all right? So enough about scary who is so bougie. He's moving into a building with a pool and he's not gonna use it. Believe that you're gonna use it.
00:08:13
Speaker 1: You're gonna use it. Because your girlfriend did go. Am I going to the pool? No, No, she's not going to I can't picture it. You ever go to let's say, go to Atlantic City. You know, Harris. In Atlantic City they have that indoor indoor beach boom, the dome, the pool with a beach. Yeah, then they have the lounge chairs and stuff. You shit down on those out of rondeck lounge chairs with a towel and like to take the sun. Dude, it's just because you have no kids. I used to have a water parks in my family. So what you know?
00:08:43
Speaker 2: Me, I sunburned like the men I walk outside. So indoor pool is wonderful. I don't know what's going on. Man, they'll hire a DJ for you. You'll hear that and you'll go right in.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: You'll get in, all right. Well, I do have other things about the apartment. Okay, that's not a bougie problem. But I do I do a bougie problem. Can we do that? Coming up next? Yeah? What of course with Scario body? Should I lime wash my walls? What did you say, lime wash your balls? Lime wash my walls? I don't know what that means exactly. So apparently there's this you Google. You can google it. It's all the range now in twenty twenties, In all twenty twenty six, the hot new thing to do is to instead of painting, you limewash. It's a very old technique done in ancient Greek and Roman times, but it's had a renaissance recently and it you use clay paint that's much poor, more porous and organic, and it's it's better for the environment, better for your breathing, and the paint when you apply it it has the paint looks like it's moving on the wall. It's it's got like almost like a three D quality to it. The problem is it takes about five six seven coats because it's very drippy and watery, and you can't just use a regular classic paint roller. You got to use like brushstrokes, and you got to know what you're fucking doing. And so you got this this paint and apparently to get a painter to do that, I can't get, uh, you know, I can't get Juan Valdez to paint my walls here. I gotta get I actually have to get like someone more of an artist who specializes what's the name of the paint company, Benjamin a whole lot more. So I'm sitting there, I'm talking to this guy and wait a minute, is this way? Wait? Wait?
00:10:54
Speaker 2: Wait wait, hold on the second before you go on the story. In your current building, you went to the superintendent and he gave you I'm leftover paint and he's splattered all over your walls white paint and you got sucked into it. Right now in your new building, what the guy say to you? Oh, you want me to lime wash your walls.
00:11:10
Speaker 1: No, it's not a scam. This Bay taught you. This is a method of This is an actual method that looks It makes your room look alive. It actually will get It's a head turner. People look at like, wow, that's awesome. Oh my god, I want to do that to my room. It's the finish slices. Google lime washed walls and you'll see that these walls are better anything normally. Why you can't just paint your wall? No I can't, because why should I be normal?
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Dude, who's gonna walk into your I want to see footage of people walking into your apartment going, oh my god, these.
00:11:52
Speaker 1: Walls, but not these walls, not not all the walls, but like special the third bathroom, the special room, Like my studio. How cool would it be to have a studio that has character to it and it's like lifelike and mine.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Has character because I'm in it. I guess you need the special walls and doors.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying, like, you get a fun, bright, vibrant color. But so, so I was talking to this. So I was talking to the potential painter and he's like a guy who does is he is? He not a painter, but he has the potential to be a painter. He's one of the people who's gonna give me a quote. And you know, he doesn't speak, doesn't speaking goes very well.
00:12:34
Speaker 2: Okay, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn or does this speaking is very well.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so I'm he's one of the guys that do a lot of the big buildings around here and they do great work. Him and him guy he was recommended to me by the super of my building. So so suckers for paint dot Com. So I'm sitting there and I'm talking to him in the new unit and I'm like walking around and then I said, look, I said, how much for this paint job. You know, all this stuff, and you know he's giving me a good decent price. And then I said, okay, what if I want to limewash my walls instead? Stop laughing? What did he say? Well, he's like, did he have the.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: Over his head? Was there a big bag of money with a dollar sign on it? Well, his face dropped. He goes, what do you want a limewash? He knew what it was. Yeah, So I look at my room.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: I said, see this room right here, this is gonna be the master bedroom. And then so here's gonna be my office. So those two rooms I want like specialized paint special I want to do the lime wash. So he's like, my friend, my friend, I don't I can't do that. He goes, I could do the rest of the apartment for you, but those two rooms I'm gonna have to bring somebody else in who knows how to lime wash. He goes, it's like you almost need like a special artist to do it, or someone who knows what they are doing. Here's what's gonna he's gonna got.
00:14:01
Speaker 2: He's gonna go get another guy he's gonna get He's gonna get a taste of that money. So he's getting a percentage to find you the other guy. So you're gonna be overpaying now for an all in one deal here.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: But but lime washing is such a it's such a pain in the ass that apparently it costs like triple to paint a room with whitewash with with a lime wash. And and now I'm hearing that if you will don't like it, it's hard to get off because you're scraping, scraping, scraping. It's not just regular pain. And thirdly, they said that the lime wash may or may not last more than five to eight years, and you need another code of it but to refresh it, so it may not be I may not be doing the lime washing, Brodie, God damn it. But the guy was gonna bring in a specialist just for that room. So I'm like, why does everything have to cost about your money? But if you google lime washed just paint the walls. Will you google lime washed walls for me, please? And then you'll get it. You're like, Oh, that looks fucking cool. That's next level. Ship's gary, that's what you'll tell me.

Speaker 2: You can go on a wayfair and get lime washed wallpaper.
00:15:40
Speaker 1: This was a very common practice in ancient Greek and Roman times apparently.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm looking at what the wall looks like. Uh, it looks like like textured wall. Like like when you when you just buy like textured coating and you buy like a second roller and you do a second coat. Yeah, my wife did that in a hallway once years ago. It came out fantastic. You didn't limewash it, you just uh, what is it called.
00:16:03
Speaker 1: What's it called?
00:16:04
Speaker 2: When you're like a texture paint on your wall with two different colors, that's what it's called color? Two color, faux painting, something like that.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: Okay, two tone. Anyway, it was like a faux glaze, foulk laze painting. My favorite that's my favorite doughnut, that's your favorite point star. All Right, we'll just change the topic because I'm sick of being beaten here, No no, no, no, a lot. You can lime wash your walls all you want. I'll send you what what we did.
00:16:38
Speaker 2: Uh we bought Uh it was Ralph Lauren and it was some kind of speckled paint. I forget what it was. But you use two rollers and when you paint it makes it look textured. You save yourself a fortune.
00:16:49
Speaker 1: Okay, alright, speaking of of of of of a spackled and painted I played pickleball last night, now, scary. I want to know what you don't say you play pickleball? I do. Yeah, you got my pickleball jingle. I don't know what you're talking about pickleball jingle. Go ahead, I gotta find my pickleball jingle now because you don't have it. I don't have you. I know you never gave it to me. So continue. That's a lie. You gotta find you said this last time we had this argument. Continue. Come on, Brodie, I'm gonna find it. We'll get it next time. Here we go. Hold on, I gotta hear. I'll play it great. Hold on, you play it over there? He is an old version. I want to help. That's not it. Okay, Brody all right, come on now, let's let's go. Let's move on. No, no edits, no edits. We're not editing this podcast. You're talking to yourself on you no, forget it, and I'm not editing this out. See this is slices. This is what he does. All right, you know what you suck? No, you send it to me in proper MP three form. All right.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: So I'm playing pickleball last night and I noticed my partner's left bicep is bleeding. So he's got blood dripping down his left arm. Now now he's he's out, he's he's serving. Okay, So the ball is in his in his hand, his paddles in his hands, about to serve. Exactly. I say, hey man, your arm is bleeding. So he puts the ball under his arm for a second, you know, like you know, and what to hold it. And he takes his right hand and he rubs his his left bicep to get the blood to stop, you know this, smear it so it's not dripping on the court. Right now, he's got blood on his hands because he's rubbing. He's got he hit the rubbing thing going. And then he takes the ball in his bloody hand. So I go, I go, So, I go, hey, man, nice shot, filter, man, n shot, thank you filter.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: You just got blood on the ball. I mean, no offense, but now he got bad blood tailor sweet thank you. So he looks at me and he goes, what's the problem the insalia? Thank you? I said, the problem is that you got blood on the ball.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: He's like, he's oh, so okay. So first of all, I'm gonna tell you what he said. But first of all, what would you do, scary? Would you be like, no problem, cool and keep playing?
00:19:18
Speaker 1: No, no, no, So would you just walk off? Or you demand he gets another ball? I would. I would say, look, we're gonna have to break in the action here, let's hit the reset button. Let's get a different ball. Yeah. I would just tell him nicely, what did you do? It's gross? Right, I'm not overreacting you you're not overreacting. So he says to me, Now this is where that's why I almost lost it. Now. Look, I'm not implying anything about this guy. He's a nice guy.
00:19:47
Speaker 2: I don't know about him, but if he's got a transmittable disease, I don't want the blood on the ball.
00:19:53
Speaker 1: Didn't touch my hand. I'm sweating, right, there's a lot going on there.
00:19:58
Speaker 2: You can make a list of all the transmittable diseases that transmit through the blood that would not be good to get. He says, Oh, man, don't worry about it. I'm good, I'm not. I'm not a hemophiliac or anything.
00:20:09
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything? Exactly exactly. A hemophiliac means your blood doesn't clot and if you cut your hand you keep bleeding, it doesn't. He wasn't worried about himself because I'm good. I'm not. I'm good, I'm not a humophiliac. I'm like, no, dude, I'm worried about you have like some awful, deadly disease in your blood. Well, isn't it true that once it hits the oxygen in the air, it dies? No? No, no, no, did you which idiot? Did you hear that from on some podcast? No?
00:20:41
Speaker 2: Anyway, so he goes, we're good, I'm not a humanophiliac. It's all good, and he serves the ball and uh, you know, the other team hits it whatever, and they they they got them. They didn't get the point, but they won. That that serve. So now I have to serve because i'm server too, and I don't there's no other ball around, so I I let the ball. I pick up the ball with the with my paddle, and I'm like, you put the needle on the record. Needle on the record, you needed on the record. Normally, what I would do is I would take the ball on my left hand, toss it, you know, like just drop it and whack it with the paddle in my right hand. But I don't want to touch the ball. So what I do is I take the paddle and I'm balancing the ball. He's not looking at me, and I kind of pop the ball with the paddle. Yeah, and I'm scary. I was praying we lost the point because then I would have to serve again. But no, we win the point and I have to serve again. So I'm doing the same thing again. So he's like, oh, I got you serve. I go day six two two.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't discount your your serve because you didn't lift the ball followed.
00:21:49
Speaker 2: I followed whatever the rules I did. The rules don't get into that. The point is the other two people on the other side were like going. We kind of given it also because they didn't want to touch the ball.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: So like when we lost the point, they have to serve now, and they were like, we're gonna go get other ball. So we got out of the ball. But then eventually it came back around to him where it's his turn to serve again. He still got bloody hand, got bloody hand.
00:22:14
Speaker 2: So, needless to say, we lost because I couldn't serve properly. I wouldn't touch the ball, sir, bloody head. Yeah, so pickle ball players, what would you even non pickaball players?
00:22:24
Speaker 1: What are you doing that? Like? I didn't want to be like, dude, it's fucking gross. Get don't wash your hand. I don't want to cause your grown ass adults. I feel like you get the Yeah, as an adult, wouldn't you just go, oh fuck, I got blood on my hands. I better go wash my hands. Yeah, but you're like, oh, it's my blood, So what do white cat's on the ball. But it's okay, he's not a hemophiliac. What does that mean? You know what it means, But how does it relate? Cannot relate? Can relate? All right, we'll be right back, all right, Yeah.
00:22:53
Speaker 3: Boys Podcast.
00:22:54
Speaker 1: We will be right back.
00:22:57
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear about a water glass problem I had or a I texted the wrong person problem?
00:23:03
Speaker 1: Yes, next wrong. I also want to tell you about about my my nephew Nico, but go ahead, No I want to hear about it.
00:23:15
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you the I'll give you the I'll give you the water glass problem. So I'm over my friend paper Menus house and he says, you want anything to drink? And I said, uh, yeah, a glass of water be fine.
00:23:28
Speaker 1: So he knows me. Okay, it's not like he did this by accident. He hands me. No.
00:23:35
Speaker 2: By the way, this is when I went for dinner and his family's there, Like, I'm eating dinner with his family, his mother.
00:23:41
Speaker 1: And father, his father in law is there. There's a lot of people at the table. Okay.
00:23:46
Speaker 2: He puts the glass down, scary yep, and it's got a Yankee logo on it.
00:23:53
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't drink from it. Oh man, come on, No, No, he knew it. He deliberately gave me. It wasn't like yes, no, he's a Yankee fan, so he knew. He gave me a glass. He's stared at him like, uh, drink the water. I'm like, I'm not drinking it. I'm not drinking it. Would you drink the water? Yes? Because to me, it's just a logo, it's just a lott who cares. You know, you're not drinking, you know, to say something you're not You're not slurping the sweat of Aaron Judge. You if you go to if you went to Michigan, you went to Michigan and somebody gives you a Michigan State glass, You're not drinking out of it. There's rivalries in this world that people are not going to cross. Okay, Vikings fans are not drinking out of a Chicago Bears mug. They're not doing it, not doing you know. I feel that the only thing reason why I wouldn't is because I wouldn't want him to pick up his phone and sneak a quick picture and be like, ah, this scary with a Yankee logo like right, something like that, you know where people are trying to do something you know that underhanded and then later posted online. We we did that with our with our buddy Ryan Knuckles, Huge Ryan Knuckles. Who's Ryan Knuckles? You know Knuckles? I don't know is that because it seem drags knuckles when he wants he's done. He's a big muscular guy. But his last name is Knuckles. It's spelled n U c k o l s knuckles like Nickols, but knuckles. Does nu see O k O l s Yeah? Knuckles anyway, yeah o us. He's a huge Dallas cowboy fan. Okay, and forgot what happened somewhere. We were at a bar and it was really cold outside and somebody was like, oh you should you know? He goes, oh you want to hat? Oh, bar my hat, and my buddy put as we walk out of the bar, puts the New York Giant hat on his head. No, he didn't know, but he didn't notice it. He was all thanks man. He was like half drunk. Anyway, he's like a hat. And then we ran ahead of him and we took several pictures of him in a Yankee in a New York Giant beanie. So this picture forever lives on the group chat. Every time the Giants play the Cowboys. If the Giants were to win, whatever the case, right Giant win or a cowboy loss, this picture rears a tuggly head. So so for that reason, I wouldn't want to be caught with a Yankee logoed uh, you know, mugging my hand.
00:26:36
Speaker 2: However, but if if Knuckles saw the logo on the hat when he wasn't drunk, when he was kept it on his head.
00:26:41
Speaker 1: No, but we'd rather be That's my point.
00:26:45
Speaker 2: I'd rather be thirsty than drink out of a glass with a Yankee logo and paperman, you knew it.
00:26:50
Speaker 1: He's like, I knew you weren't going to I knew it. I knew you.
00:26:52
Speaker 2: Wouldn'tdrink out of that glass. And it slices. Leave us a talkback? Whose what sports team or college logo logo would you not?
00:27:01
Speaker 1: We know? All right, this is gonna be fun. Now now we're gonna have eighty eighty uh talkbacks with people saying one word. Now, that's not fun. That's not fun. I want you to know. I'll tell you what slices Brody the low Yes, email Brody privately on that one. We're not gonna go to twenty pages of talkbacks, which like PA Charlotte.
00:27:23
Speaker 2: Hornets, but what I want to know your opinion on Like I would never wear a Charlotte Hornets shirt because I wouldn't drink out of that glass. That's all I want to hear, whether you drink out of the glass or not. Am I crazy but not want to drink out of the Yankee glass? If it was something I felt strongly about?
00:27:41
Speaker 1: Scary? Is there anything you feel strongly about a lot of things?
00:27:45
Speaker 2: Okay, so give me something you feel strongly about a brand or or a team.
00:27:50
Speaker 1: You're a Giants fan? Would would you? Would you drink out of a Washington a commander's mug if it was put in front of me and no one was taking a picture, as I said, yes, I would do it. It's okay. You are you are something else. You know.
00:28:07
Speaker 2: Fan is short for fanatic. You gotta be You gotta be loyal to your team. I'm not trinking out of that and he knew it. The fact is he knew it. He wouldn't drink out of it. You're a dad, last time I checked you.
00:28:20
Speaker 1: So my nephew, my nephew Lucas, Yes, and my nephew Nico. Okay, Lucas is fifteen, is eight, my sister's kids. Christmas time, my girlfriend Robin gives Lucas the older one one hundred dollars in say a free show. Sorry, go ahead, one hundred bucks. Boom. Okay, that's very nice, very nice. I shouldn't have to do, I said, what are you doing? Give it him money? Anyway. A couple of weeks later, the money had gone missing. He didn't know what he did with the money, Lucas. So my sister was like, this is crazy. You didn't spend it. And he's like, no, I didn't spend it. Where'd it go? I don't know. They looked under every couch, they would they you know, They asked, when these couches are sofas, sofas, these are couches. Okay, scared, Okay, scary just made a stink face like his sister's got he couches, said that shitty couch facette. She's got fine taste in furniture like me. You just no, she's gonna fine tastes the furniture like her older brother. So she so anyway, they asked, Nico, did you see this money? Did you see that one hundred dollars? No, I don't know where it is. Nobody knew where his money is, and and everyone and she kept circling back, what's going on, Nico? You're sure you didn't see this money? Nope, Lucas, you sure you didn't spend it? Nope, didn't spend it? All right? Great? Fast forward to last week, my sister gets a call from the school. Hello, missus, scary, Yeah, we have your son Nico here. He's trying to buy candy with a one hundred dollars bill. Oh no, oh, my sister was furious. She died. He lied, and he stole from his brother, and he and he thought he could get away with spending one hundred dollar bills in fourth grade, third whatever grade. He said, he was eight years old. He brought the fucking money to school. He stole for his brother. He lied to his mother, my sister and brother in law repeatedly, and just kept it at weeks and weeks, sat on it for like two months, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it just turns up at the candy sale. And like my sister was beside herself because, I mean, this could be the this could be the start of a bigger problem. Don't you think? What what is the punishment for this? I don't well. She first of all, she took away his roadblocks and all the video games and everything. She took away anything she possibly could to illustrate that this was beyond awful, like you because he had never First of all, he had never done anything like this before. But now this is an example of this kid being being, you know, from his own brother. He stole from his brother and it lied to his mother mother, and then tried to spend the money for on candy, which he wasn't supposed to be having.
00:31:39
Speaker 2: Dude, this kid's going to be in the mob before you know it. He's already got the makings.
00:31:43
Speaker 1: What what is it?
00:31:44
Speaker 2: What did Lucas say? Well, he was his own brother stole from him.
00:31:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he's a fifteen year old, you know, like whatever, you know, he uninterested. But but yeah, I don't know, like for I don't know how to deal with this, Like like my sister was, I said, what are you trying to? How are you gonna reprimand him? How you what are the consequences of this? She was, I chose, I took away everything, everything, and he's got to learn a lesson. And how is a teachable moment? Like what do you? What do you do? You're That's why I started this conversation by saying you're a parent, ah, because no one saw that coming.
00:32:26
Speaker 2: Part of me is thinking like I would take something away fro him permanently, like as if it was stolen from him, so he'd see how it felt mm hmm, like give something to his to charity or something like.
00:32:37
Speaker 1: Bye bye wow. Yeah, and that's terrible.
00:32:42
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, uh, everybody's kids lie a little bit, but that's that's beyond. I'll tell you for one hundred dollars, I would say, in about another month, you know what he could buy You'll leather couch.
00:32:58
Speaker 1: Update update on the letter a leather couch. Yeah, you want to hear the update? I'm slightly really you heard it here first? Oh, hit her her first? What's the update? In the end? Beatles Lincoln Park or at Lincoln Park. Yeah, in the end, also on the Abbey Road, one of my favorite albums of all time. Favorite in the in the end, God Rest his soul, Chester Beddington. I heard some crazy ship conspiracy about that over the weekend, about Chester and and others. I know, I know. I'm just saying I heard some some crazy TikTok appeared. I don't sign up for that. I don't sign up for this stuff, but anyway it gets served to me. So so anyway, my my point is my point. Oh, the the couch, the sofa. Three, there's three endings to this Facebook marketplace with Jetski Bryan. He had it listed and he had a guy from Hoboken who said, I have a two thousand dollars budget. Had he had it listed at two thousand dollars. He says, I have a two thousand dollars budget. He says, it's gonna cost me two hundred and fifty dollars to remove my current couch and pick that one up and bring it here and up a five floor walk up. And so best offer I can give is seventeen fifty to which take it run John, take it and run exactly. Jetske Brian was like on my behalf was like yes, yes, And what happens in typical Facebook marketplace fashion. The guy ghosted him, ghosted him. Well, we don't know that because he did. He didn't come back a couple of times, but anyway, still knows okay, but he said he would take it, and then another woman is it still available, I'm interested, I want to see it, and ghosted all for not And that was at the ripe price of two thousand. Then I put it on my internal building link, you know, right here in my building. I suggested that to you. Yes, I put it on there for nineteen hundred dollars cash. I'm not going to name the person. But last night I get an email from the person and she writes, where is it? Here is? I saw your post. We are interested in the sofa. Is it still available? If so, do you have dimensions and can we see it? And it's put the dimensions in the listening. It was in there, but it was buried. No, no in the posting. No, no in the in in my posting for my building link. It was not in there. No, was on your phone. No. It was my fault. So I went back to her. I said, you know, I said, uh, she's got a very prominent job because it has a stamp, her name stamped there signature. I gave it to the dimensions. This is this was twenty four hours ago to the minute. Yeah, well do this. I gave it dimensions and my phone number. I said, you want to come up and see it. So I have not not gotten an answer. And then here's the this is the icing on the cake. I listed it in a in a very big antique chair and sofa website where they all where those people circle the drain, the one one of the ones. They told them. I gave you yes, right listed it there. I get an email this afternoon, good news, your item has sold. I had it listed for two and fifty dollars the actual retail price two hundred twenty four to fifty. It's sold for twenty four to fifty. No yes to people in my is someone in Miami, but here's and they and they pay the shipping, and they said, hey, you can't get a couch local. This is not just any fucking couch. Oh my god, I'm gonna throw my chair through the goddamn window. But no, but nobody in the Southeast America has ladies and gentlemen. This is a twenty year old vintage piece from Design within Reach. They don't produce this anymore. It's Italian leather. I'm not going through this aga. I'm gonna rip the hair out of my head. If you want this sofa in this style, if you want it's not just any sofa, you're gonna have to find it used somewhere, and you're gonna pay whatever you're not gonna pay. They're getting shipped out of your apartment. They're gonna have this company. I have, I have, I have a quandary coming up here. The company said, the shipping information will be sent to you in a day or so. They arrange for all of that. That's what this company does. So they'll arrange for a shipper, they'll come, they'll pack it up, and they will get it delivered to the people who bought it in Miami. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. That's the problem. I sold it for twenty four fifty whatever it was. My take on that, My takeaway is one thy, four hundred forty dollars. They take forty percent, they take four zero percent. So dude, So here's here's the rub or or not. If this couple from my building gets back to me and wants the damn thing for nineteen hundred, what is my consequence for renegging on this or rescinding the sale? You have to read. You better read the contract. Well I did. They said that they will ban me for life from being a member of that site. Well because, but but is it worth it? Because I'm gonna make five hundred dollars extra and it's in this worth building. Let me work it. That's reversion. Okay. You could call your y, your neighbor, wait, call before you come. I need to shave much shot. Yeah, you could call your on your sofa. You could call your neighbor right now. Yes, I know.
00:39:22
Speaker 2: You can call your neighbor right now and say, if you want the sofa right now, seventeen fifty.
00:39:27
Speaker 1: No, it's nineteen scary. Oh, to speed up the sale.
00:39:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, if you if you wanted this second, commit right now seventeen fifty. If it's worth three hundred dollars to fuck over these people in Florida.
00:39:41
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Well, well that's the thing over the company. Didn't you know forty percent? No? No, I didn't read the fine print on that. I didn't know they get forty percent. That's a lot of money. How did you not look that up? And where's my cart? I recommended the sight to you. I get ten percent, don't I? Yeah? Okay, come on anyway, I don't know I have I feel like I need to go through with the sale to the people in Miami and and take a five hundred dollars haircut on it.
00:40:12
Speaker 2: Well, you don't have a commitment. Truthfully, it could be the best offer you get.
00:40:17
Speaker 1: It's yeah, in which case I told you it meets it. It checks all the boxes, mister accomplished fourteen fifty right, tax free or a They going to report your taxes on this? No, you don't have to.
00:40:29
Speaker 2: Don't have to pay taxes because it's less than what you paid for. Yes, somebody comes takes it out of your house. Nightmare solved. Your hands are clean, right, take the money and run. Okay, but not, but don't be but don't get greedy and run.
00:40:42
Speaker 1: Don't get greedy and f over f over the company, get banned from the company, and then and then, uh, just take the extra money from the people in the building who may want it and what and wheel it out of here. I don't know. It's a tough call. I don't know. All right, Well, they've ever gotten back to me, so all right to be content? The words of Steve Miller band that scary. I have I have a present for you. Oh really, I have a present for it. That's so nice of you, Brodie. You've never bought me one thing.

Speaker 2: Well, I'm let me run down the list of the things, all the things I would expect to see, in no particular order. Yeah, I would expect to see carrots and celery Okay. I would expect to see dipping dressings like blue cheese dressing.
00:45:04
Speaker 1: Sure.
00:45:04
Speaker 2: I would expect to see the sauce on the wings yep, not on the side, yep. And I would expect to see a lot of wet naps and napkins and and and uh ways to wipe my hands and face. Yeah, all the things right, all the and all the the yeah, the condiments, the side, all the stuff, everything back up es exactly because it's Super Bowl Sunday.
00:45:29
Speaker 1: Uh uh. You're having a party at your house, you having in a body. Yeah, so you want buffalo wings with all the stuff, Yeah, all the stuff. He opens up the wings, none of the stuff, none of what you mentioned. And the wings were just regular wings. There was no sauce on them, no French red hot. He's like oh my god. And I was the first guest there and he's like, mother fucker, and I'm like, what's going on? Is they fucking made regular wings? Brody? Who the fuck? It? Doesn't use their brain and assume or even even just like he ordered it. He ordered wings. Did he order spicy wings or he just said wings? He said wings? Yeah, But did he say I want wings hot, mild, spicy hot? Did he say anything breaded? He just said wings. It's the Super Bowl Sunday. You're getting six foot heroes. You're getting all the things. You get the wings with the hot sauce, you get it all. You get, the celery, you get the blue cheese, you get all of it. You want wings. Or if you're the store, call the guy up and say, hey, we have several kinds of wings here, and when you say wings, we just give you just wings, naked wings, just just breaded and fried wings with nothing. That's what wing redded. They were at least breaded. They were breaded and fried wings. That's it. Just so he was was the breading. Was the breading seasoned at all? Was it like, no, no, nothing, there's roasted wings, whatever, baked whatever. It sounds like your friend Jason got roasted. Well, he was. He was fit to be tied. But I said, look, cooler head heads prevail, I said, I said, it's very simple to make hot wings, buffalo wings out of naked wings. You have the wings, they're cooked. I said, right, So all you gotta do is he has Frank's Red Hot in his house and butter. Equal parts Frank's Red Hot and melted butter with that ship on everything. And then you throw us a little bit of honey in it, some garlic powder, some other things, mix it all up, tossed it in a big ball with the wings, and ye, pot ow it was. I get doing all the work I gave him, Yes, I gave him the idea of doing it. He said, Scary Jones saved by super Bowl party because he was freaking out. You know what to do, And I said, bro, it's not that difficult to make buffalo sauce. It's literally equal parts butter and Frank's Red Hot, and you just got butter. He had Frank's Red Hot. Of course he lives, he has a kitchen, he has a house. He is a fan of Frank's Red Hot in my house. Of course, you put that shit on everything, tabasco whatever it is, but it's equal parts. That's why chat Chipet told me that. But anyway, can you anyway? That was it And I said, you're gonna say something to the guy and he goes, nah, the moment is past. What what are you're making me upset? Now? For him?
00:48:35
Speaker 3: No?
00:48:36
Speaker 1: He paid full price?
00:48:37
Speaker 2: But no, did he did you at least look at the menu on the website, like, see what like? Do they have other kinds of wings or do they only have wings?
00:48:44
Speaker 1: No? Sauce? Is that all they sell? It was one of those verbal over the phone orders. That's how old school those place is, give me this, this and that. You can't you can't.
00:48:55
Speaker 2: You gotta order, You gotta say what you want. Can he swear that he ordered spicy wings?
00:49:00
Speaker 1: He said its But you have to assume on Super Bowl Sunday you want wings, or at least clarify and say, hey, we have several kinds of wings here. Would you like buffalo wings? That's their job? Yeah, I know, but if you're to wings, that's not But the default is the default on Super Bowl Sunday shouldn't just be naked wings.
00:49:21
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I don't know. I think it's a little both. I think it's partially his fault and they did a bad job as a restaurant.
00:49:28
Speaker 1: And he's not getting free dessert because he didn't ask for it, and you know whatever, he didn't want to make a thing of it. He's not he's not a guy who makes a man. I think you should call up and get a credit.
00:49:37
Speaker 2: Then you see, I'm disappointed now for him, I'm disappointed.
00:49:41
Speaker 1: You know what else I saw at the airport coming home? This is this is a brook no the airport coming back from Miami. I'm going to tell you this. This is just a little something I'm gonna throw in there because it's food related. A little something food related. Okay, we go to what was it Papa john Sparrows was one of those places at the airport, probably, and we ordered a meatball sub right through a couple of stuff to split David Brody, what goes on a meatball sub?
00:50:17
Speaker 2: Well, you got your bread, you got your meatballs, you got you got your sauce. Yeah, but if you don't say meatball palm, you're not gonna get cheese.
00:50:25
Speaker 1: No, No, we got cheese. Okay.
00:50:29
Speaker 3: Uh.
00:50:30
Speaker 2: If they put anything else on that sandwich, it's jots, it's it's.
00:50:35
Speaker 1: No those were Those were the exact ingredients. But let me specify American cheese. Who the fuck puts American cheese on a mepal hero with sauce? Who does that? I would almost rather look at a video of you kissing me. It was through Ai. You don't want to tell. I was with Danielle, Gandhi and Nate and you can get away with provolone, yes you can get but you can't get away with American cheese. What state were you in? We were in Florida. We were coming home, Western Florida, North Florida. No, you're in Miami. But no, no, no, this goes no, no, no, nowhere, Hey, Middle America slices? Do you you put American cheese with sauce on a meatball, sandwich, grind or whatever you want to call it?
00:51:30
Speaker 2: A get away from Italian neighborhoods. Who knows what people put on that food.
00:51:34
Speaker 1: But American cheese is the doesn't go it's the furthest cheese even even would you say Swiss could be in the in the family maybe maybe months.
00:51:44
Speaker 2: I can tell you I have put American cheese on red sauce meat loaf really because it's like a cheeseburger.
00:51:49
Speaker 1: It's like a cheeseburger, and I guess, I guess, I guess.
00:51:52
Speaker 2: A meatball palm hero is not that different than meat loaf, except it's got Italian seasoning and the sauce is different, like a meat loaf is like tomato paste.
00:52:02
Speaker 1: It's not like it just doesn't go American cheese. Yeah, no, no, that's not terrible terrible in every state, no matter where you live, if you're in Montana, there's no excuse for that.
00:52:15
Speaker 2: I don't even think like our junior high school would have done that, like our public school would have done that.
00:52:20
Speaker 1: They made they made some weird combos right along the way.
00:52:23
Speaker 2: Even the lunch lady with the fish nets, the fish, the hairnet and the flappy arms wouldn't have done that a lunch lady arms, lady, lunch lady arms or.
00:52:33
Speaker 1: Even even listen, we used to have the fish with the cheese in the middle, a fish with the American cheese. Even that's passable with the fish though, play a fish with cheese. But you don't put yellow American on a sub, on a meatball sub. What are you doing I'll let me ask you. My family, my parents. So it was when I was a kid. We were in California.
00:52:53
Speaker 2: I think we were in Carmel, California, which is northern California, and we went into an Italian restaurant and they ordered chicken palm because that's what I did, even as a kid. I was maybe ten, eleven, twelve years old. I was ten years old and it didn't taste right. And my father tasted it and he's like, this doesn't taste right. He's excuse me. Now, keep in mind, this is a long time ago, scary when when these cheese is wren as popular as they are now, and he said, what kind of cheese is this doesn't taste right? She said, it's Monterey Jack cheese. Jack cheese Jack cheese. Now now now Monterey Jack and pepper Jack are more popular. But if you don't know the cheese back in the day when it wasn't a thing, and they go, it's Jack cheese, doesn't that sound shitty?
00:53:35
Speaker 1: It sounds crafty awful. Yeah, it sounds like like like some guy named Jack sold them cheese. It just didn't belong on a chicken Jack cheese. It's like Jack cheese. So what about Swiss? Can Swiss be passable on a met pole hero No, because Swiss has this distinct taste that I would think would it doesn't listen. Even if Swiss.
00:53:55
Speaker 2: Cheese tasted good, it isn't the flavor you ordered.
00:53:59
Speaker 1: It is in the flavor profile.
00:54:01
Speaker 2: You want muzzarella cheese, you want pro you want an Italian cheese, you want you want, you want Pecorino, Romano Palman cheese, you want what? You don't want American cheese. It's just on your meatball.
00:54:17
Speaker 1: So what you do? What you pick it off? That you return and I ate it? I mean, we were hungry, but but the look on my face of the look of defeat and despair, like they were taking pictures of me and they were laughing. Danielle was laughing at me, and I'm like, Danielle, you're an Italian. This is this is the sacrilegious here. What's going on? You know?
00:54:36
Speaker 2: So question, what if you had to eat a foot long meatball palm with American cheese, or or getting an indoor pool.
00:54:46
Speaker 1: I'm eating the meatball palm every time. I'm not getting in that indoor pool. Oh was that our cue to take a break. I don't know. I don't know.
00:54:58
Speaker 2: I thought you hit the button. You're move like you're gonna hit the button. Oh, but you were choking. You were chokingcast Is this our last break? I have a question for you.
00:55:12
Speaker 1: Okay, this is I may have an answer, all right, So I have I'm gonna I have two friends. Uh, they have the same name, same first name. You only have two friends. Nope, I have two friends with the same first name.
00:55:27
Speaker 2: We'll call them. We'll call them Mike for the sake of this conversation. So Mike, Mike one is someone I talked to a lot.
00:55:35
Speaker 1: Okay, I have dinner, I see them a lot, No problem.
00:55:38
Speaker 2: Mike too is someone that I was friendly with when I was single before I got married.
00:55:46
Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, I lived with a long time ago. He was my roommate.
00:55:54
Speaker 2: I haven't really spoken to him like a real conversa other than like Facebook now and then.
00:56:03
Speaker 1: Maybe fifteen years maybe more, okay, okay. Now.
00:56:08
Speaker 2: I used to have a phone that I got for free to the radio station. Had an eight four or five area code. Ye people from back in the day. If I gave them that number, they may not have my new number because they haven't seen me in twenty years. But twenty years ago I had eight four or five number because we had Verizon was a sponsor and they gave me a phone for the morning show.
00:56:31
Speaker 1: So for like eight years I had this eight fully five number.
00:56:34
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm supposed to meet Mike one every day Mike for dinner. So I tell my car, Hey, text Mike, okay, I don't pay attention to which Mike okay, I wasn't worthy of paying attention, and so I text, Hey, roots and such as closed. I probably won't get there until five point fifty five. We're just to meet for dinner a five forty five. So I realize after I send that text message I sent it to.
00:57:12
Speaker 1: The wrong mic.
00:57:13
Speaker 2: Of course you do so, right, so I so I then I write back, sorry about that, Mike, my car is glitching and sent the text to you by mistake. Hope all is good with you, Figuring he'll see my number, you'll know it's me. We haven't spoken in a while, I obviously have dinner plans whatever. So he says sorry to hear that the roads closed. I hope things are fine otherwise, So I write back, Yeah, things are okay. Just all of the roads are messed up around where I'm trying to get to get to, so uh, I need to get home and change and then go out to dinner.
00:57:51
Speaker 1: But I'm happy to hear from you. So that's a win.
00:57:54
Speaker 2: I said, By the way, your family looks lovely on Facebook, So he writes back, thanks, yours does too get home safely?
00:58:05
Speaker 1: So I go, thanks, Mike.
00:58:07
Speaker 2: And I found that weird because none of there's no pictures of my family on my Facebook page.
00:58:13
Speaker 1: Oh I don't. I don't post pictures of my family. So I'm like, huh, I guess he was being like fake polite because I don't have any pictures. When was the last time he spoke to this guy? Fifteen twenty years ago? Now again maybe on Facebook? He comments on something, I comment on something his, But like, you know, we were good friends in high school, and then years later we were roommates.
00:58:37
Speaker 2: He was at my wedding, he was at my wedding party. You know, I made a few times and it's been like twenty years whatever. So then, like I don't know, five or six minutes go by and we had a whole conversation about my family and house, everything going. He writes, I'm trying to figure this out. Don't get insulted. But who is texting me from this?
00:58:59
Speaker 1: Oh no, Now he didn't know who I was, but I would like to just remind you, he said, sorry to hear that. Hope things are good with you. Otherwise your family looks great too. Blah blah blah. Get home safely. Yeah. So he was carrying the conversation and realizes, you don't know who I am. Did you say who you were?
00:59:23
Speaker 2: So he says, I'm apologizing in advance smiley face emoji. So I said, I give you a clue. You know me from Brooklyn? Scary, He gets three other people.
00:59:35
Speaker 1: I'm not you, not me, So I said we went to school together, and he gets another guy. So I said, I I'll give you one more clue, but if you get this wrong, we're done. And I said I was your roommate.
00:59:52
Speaker 2: We shared an apartment together, and I know he shared an apartment with someone else from Brooklyn, but he didn't go to school with them, so it's.
00:59:59
Speaker 1: Got to be me.
01:00:00
Speaker 2: So finally he says, oh my god, David, I'm so sorry. I'll save this number, you know, let's catch up and have a drink. Blah blah blah blah.
01:00:07
Speaker 1: But the point was, rather than just go who is who is this, he had a whole conversation. Well that's human nature, right. I feel like I would do the same thing. I would just try to figure it out. I was just trying to figure it out, like, who is this person? Now? The plot twist would have been if he didn't guess that it was David Brody, right right, the plot twist could have been that it wasn't even Mike, that the number changed and it was somebody else, and now now you're talking to some random stranger, right, yeah, because you could have called that number and maybe there's somebody just fucking with you and say, maybe it's like Janice, you know, and like Janis is like, well, you know, but what would if you didn't know who the person was, what would you do? Would you just like play along til you figured it out? Yeah? I think he was trying to figure it out. I think he was trying to get a clue, like me going, hey man, it's been a while since I've seen you. My god, can you believe it's been twenty years since we lived together. It's more than that now, it's almost about yeah, it's a long time. So I guess he was hoping I would say something obvious. Yeah, well, he's just like the slide. But the curiosity got the best of him because even after the conversation was over and you were ready to let it go, well because I signed off, okay, frozen, because I signed off and he realized there would be no more clues. Yeah, exactly. So it got the best of him. He's like, I gotta know who this is. So I'm just gonna fess up. That's that's hysterical, all right. So I got one more phone story for you and then we'll wrap it up. Okay.
01:01:36
Speaker 2: So you said sometimes people get new phone numbers, or if somebody gets a phone number that's not with somebody else's at one point, right when you give up a phone number, sometimes they become other people's phone numbers.
01:01:45
Speaker 1: This is true.
01:01:47
Speaker 2: So I have I don't know, maybe a dozen legitimate celebrities and have their phone numbers, legitimate celebrities, and I don't know, years later, if and Rique Glaci has changed his number, I'm never gonna call.
01:02:03
Speaker 1: Him, but I'm not gonna delete it. I'm sure number, I'm sure he changed it.
01:02:07
Speaker 2: I don't know, but in my mind, if I don't ever call it, I still haven't rique Glacier's phone number. Okay, so you know Joey Pantaliano is right, Yes, Joey Pants.
01:02:18
Speaker 1: Joey Pants, he was on The Sopranos and he's been a lot of movies. He's been hundreds of movies.
01:02:24
Speaker 2: Well, he's in the new TV show on Marvel on the Disney plus a new Marvel show called wonder Man, and he's terrific in it. Sure, so a lot of you know, I do a podcast called Marvel Movie Talk where a bunch of us nerdy guys and women talk about episodes and break them down and analyze them and give opinions and review them. And so I said, hey, you know what Joey Pants is in wonder Man.
01:02:50
Speaker 1: He was terrific. I have his phone number.
01:02:53
Speaker 2: When he was the last time he was in See one hundred, he was promoting his book back when I worked there and I was the executive producer, and he said, hey.
01:03:00
Speaker 1: He loved beating you.
01:03:00
Speaker 2: He hugged me, he signed autographed the book for me, and he said, hey, I love you guys.
01:03:06
Speaker 1: If you ever need anything, here's my name. Here's my phone number. Rather yea, and he.
01:03:12
Speaker 2: Goes, can you send me a CD an air check of this show on CD? He gave me his home address and I mailed him a copy of the air check on a CD. And he said, if you ever need anything, you call me.
01:03:23
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's tempting, especially so when that's the offer is put in front of your face right now. This is scary.
01:03:31
Speaker 2: This has got to be seventeen eighteen years ago because we were in Jersey City, so I know it was before two thousand and eight.
01:03:36
Speaker 1: It's a long time ago. So I called the number and it does, it does. Nobody answers, no voicemail.
01:03:44
Speaker 2: So I texted, I'm like, hey, Joey, listen, you met me when you came up to see one hundred.
01:03:49
Speaker 1: My name is David.
01:03:51
Speaker 2: I was the executive producer of the morning show. I don't say I'm not there anymore. I just go You met, what you're up? You said, if I haven't need anything, you'd be more than happy to do anything I needed. We had a great time.
01:04:00
Speaker 1: Hugged me.
01:04:01
Speaker 2: You were wonderful and wonder man. I'm wondering if you'd like to come on the podcast with us. We're recording tomorrow. You'd be awesome. You were so good in the show. I hope I'm not disturbing you. It's Super Bowl Sunday. But you'll get back to me whenever.
01:04:15
Speaker 1: Scary.
01:04:16
Speaker 2: Within a minute, I get a text message back, this is not his number. Stop fucking texting me.
01:04:24
Speaker 1: He is.
01:04:25
Speaker 2: This is my number now for a long time. So I said, I'm so sorry. You must get people looking for him all the time. They wrote back, for years, people are still looking for Joey Pants.
01:04:36
Speaker 1: Apparently he gave his phone number to everybody, everybody, and.
01:04:39
Speaker 2: That's why he changed his number, because probably people like me had his phone number and we're taken advantage.
01:04:44
Speaker 1: So now here's the thing. I have his home address. Do I mail him a letter and ask him to be on the podcast and tell him I don't have your new number. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, that's okay, that's fine. So but this person, he's a famous person's phone number, and they're not very happy about it. So it's funny because the other day at the Super Bowl, Charlie Pooth was singing the national anthem. I have his cell phone number and we have communicated on text before. So I was gonna be like, yo, break it late tonight, Charlie. But I'm like, I don't want to be that guy. No, you don't know him well enough for that. Nah. No, or I was going to hit him back today or something, be like yo, Charlie, it's scary, hope. You know it was. You know, there's really no reason to do that, but I I thought about it. Everyone was trying to everyone at the party, like, yo, come on, text Pooth right now, text him, call him. I'm like, no, he's on TV.
01:05:42
Speaker 2: Singing, no, thank you. I'm not going to do that, thank you. What's the guy's name? What's the guy's name? I'm joining blank here. He's the act the Broadway actor we always have on the show.
