#125: Bat S**t Crazy Over New 2020 U.S. Quarter

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Start up, start Up, Brooklyn Boy, start up, Brooklyn Boys. That data they're making noise data up Episode one. It's a nice solid number. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast with with Us. Another day, another week, another month, Yeah, another year. I can't tell well, I feel like this this year has been eighty seven years. I only know that it's Saturday because we once again have to apologize to our listeners for being a couple of days late. Um, it's it's we're trying not to make in a habit. It's just by Thursday we are mentally exhausted, and then we always try for Friday, and then Friday just goes right by, and then all of a sudden, it's Saturday. And for some people who don't have to even get dressed in the morning, Hello, that's me. It's even worse. It's like you, how, I don't even know how you do it. At least there's some kind of layout to my day on a weekday. Right on a weekday, I have to get up. I still go to the studio in the morning. Body's working from home, but I actually still get up to an alarm, jump in the shower, have to get dress, jump in my car, go to the studio physically. Then when I'm done with the show, I come home, so at least that part of my week is structured, and then the rest of the day I can be allows. Um. But for people who just are locked in completely working from home, I don't know how you all do it. Um. You know what I I get in the car and I just drive and aimlessly, you know, for like twenty minutes, just to get out to go get gas. Um. By the way, speaking of going to get guess if I may, if you don't already have this, I don't know if every gas company does it, but BP and Sonocco do you download the app? It checks your look pitian, It knows what pump you're at you tell it the pump number, rather, it knows what station you're at. And you can pay for your gas in the car. You never have to open your window, and I love that. And they're giving you five cents at BP a gallon, and I think ten cents a gallon at Snoco. Don't quote me. I think it's ten cents for a limited time. But you get a discount. And then you pull up, you'll show them the phone and the app and they go Okay, you put in like okay, pump seven. It sends a signal, it knows your credit cards already attached to the the app, and you're golden. It's fantastic. VOA is this available in all states? Again? If you're listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast, I only know what I have. I imagine BP wherever BP is located, it works, and Sinocco works. I'm assuming there's one for every gas company, at least major gas companies. UM, so check that out. I only know how do I what are my first steps? Okay? So, like near you, there's a speedway right that's a really cheap gas station. Go to your app store. See if there's a speedway app, download it and see if they do that. Or I'm of you google what gas stations the app? Because I have VP here I know you do. So what I'm saying is just either download the app of the gas stations in your area that you always use, or google what gas station apps allow me to pay in with my phone, so you just pay from listen. I'm full of tips. People are still thanking me for the money because you're so cheap. What do you mean I gave? I gave you direct, No, listen, I have you know. You know I tipped very well. In fact, I just gave a huge tip to the steakhouse that I bought myself dinner. You didn't buy me dinner. Um, And you know what the guy said at at Capitol Grill in New Jersey, there a national chain, he said, thank you. We use the tips to pay the employees that aren't coming in. So the wait staff that isn't working, they use the tip money to help pay their salaries because they don't have any hours for them. So that's awfully kind. So I want what do What do the people who work those shifts get? They get paid, they're getting paid regular rates. Well, but they're they're they're working in the kitchen, so they're getting cook money. They're getting whatever their salary is for working in the kitchen. I imagine they get some of the tip money. I'm just saying they also use it. I said, you're putting in the pool. He said, yes, we're helping to pay the people at all. So yeah, so I gave an even bigger tip when he told me that. Well, I'm trying to think about now. I got to download this app quick quickly. How do they know you're not cheating them cheating home. Well, if you use one of these pay as you go, you know, pay on your app. Do you think I could just like have a screenshot of an account of like look here, I'm good, right, okay good? Let's you know them right, because scary it sends a signal to the pump to turn on. Okay. Oh, I know. I was under the impression that the guy was looking at your phone and then he presses the button manually. So you're under the impression that a billion dollar gas company is just gonna go okay and then and then crank the ask pump with their hand and then use a foot pedal to pump it into your car. That's what you thought, you know what they're there are stupider companies out there. Yeah, if you go to Delta Gas and save eight cents of gallon because the signs crooked and the numbers are falling off, and they're not you know, they're not affiliat or anybody. Yeah, they don't have an app right that that gas company in your town that has like a you know, the no name gas company that you never heard of, like Mike's Gas. Those guys probably don't have an app all right, well, not of that. Yeah, not of that. Okay. Are you still feeling a little stinging in the butt because of what happened last night? Yeah? Exactly. Well that wasn't deliberate, Okay, so I know it was. It's just well, i'll tell you how hilarious. You know what it was actually the Elvis Duran Stay at Home Ball, which was a collection of artists that we got to perform in their living room, like fifty artists a three hour concert. It's three hour concerts, right, it was and hours. That's a great idea. And shout out to Stephen Levine, our prepr grew to the Stars to help put that together. I know he was the brains behind that. And a lot of people, you guys, don't, A lot of people like you've never heard of but no, but no, people like Andrew from the Serial Killers and Diamond Valet and Tony who's our digital of the vice president of By the way, whatever, I hate when you we start naming names because you name one name and you gotta name them all. Okay, so were you giving thanks? Don't just I probably should have even mentioned Steven's name, because that that made Brodie think, oh I have I have a dilemma that the listen. You guys, the slices, you can help. I want your your opinion on this scary You're involved in this, so I'm not sure what we're supposed to do because it's either a win win or a lose lose. Because it happened again this morning or late last night, I think it was this morning. So you know, there are fourteen people of thirteen people in the morning show roughly okay, but they were probably I don't want to say hop people, but they're top of mind people. There are six or seven top of mind people that are in the studio every morning, and then there are other people that work just as hard and just as important who maybe don't come to top of mind to the listener. And and what is that? That was a pipe in the house that was weird. I guess they turned basement in the basement so the pipes all run through the anyway, someone wants to turn the shower on or something anyway, check yeah, I get that checked. So when upper management sometimes thinks of the show, they think of the most notable in their minds, six or seven people, the host, the co host, executive producers that includes us, So we're not running down the name of Pete, names of people. Um an email went out Saturday afternoon. No, not gonna do that. So fortunately for us, the other people on the show don't listen to our podcast, but they deserve as much thanks as anybody else and upper management. Upper management sent out an email last week, Oh, I know what you're talking about that said, hey, seven people, thanks for doing everything and keeping the show on and stay in the extra hour. You guys really appreciate the extra work whatever. Okay. Now, I of course was like, well, the other seven six seven people should see this email and they should know that they're appreciated. Also, the problem is if you show them the email, they'll know they were left off the email. All right. My me jerk reaction to that is, don't show him the email. You're gonna open up Pandora's now you're gonna make them feel like shit in the process of trying to make them feel like they're part of the team. Right now, somebody could say, hopefully you didn't send that email to six or seven people that were not copied and we're not addressed. Correct. Now, somebody could say to the rest of the team. Hey, upper management sent me an email and they wanted me to thank everyone on the show. We're doing a great job. Right, someone could do that. Not. You run another risk with that, though, Why because then those people who you just addressed and said, hey, upper management send me an email, they can then turn around and go to upper management and say when they see them at the next function whatever, that's gonna be like, hey, that was really cool that you recognized me, you know, And then no, you're fine. You're fine because Brody told me that. Why you find you're fine because the person who would do that would go back to upper management and go, hey, upper management person, I'm letting you know, I'm sharing this with the entire show. Right then they're covered because anybody in upper management is gonna be small enough to go, oh, absolutely, thanks again. You just go along with it, right, They're gonna go along with it. Now. The reason that's a problem. Now, what what I would have done is upper management is I would have said, hey, thank you seven people, and please pass this along to everyone else. Everyone did a great job. Number one. Number two, they could have asked for a list of names, which they should already have and thanked all people, right, So then we all agreed we weren't going to pass it along because we don't want to le everybody feel bad. Another member of upper management emailed to another one and and did the same thing. They emailed the same seven people and left the other seven off. And I'm thinking, those other seven people really need to be thanked, right, because it's nice when upper management recognizes you. You know, even if you don't know if they know exactly what you do, you know they know who you are. You know that they're like, hey, I know that you're busting your ass. Well, I feel like all thirteen people are busting their ass and I want to commend them, and I do you do? As executive producers? We say hey, guys, great job. But it's not the same as what upper upper management says, great job, right, you know what I mean? When upper upper management other other other bends and what what made it? What made it worse? When they when they when they jump in, that's the ultimate in getting a compliment, right. So what happened was the first upper management guy he copied the CEO, the CFO, the CEO like the hands of the entire company, and then those people replied all and said, I agree, you guys are great. So now it's like we got super thanked. So I feel like, is it is it okay for me to right back to those people and go, hey, thank you so much. I'll pass this along to the team, Right, It's okay to do that? Right? Yeah? But then can I pass it all? But then can I pass it along to the team? I can't do that. I think it has to come from an upper management person haswise, you don't. Otherwise the person doesn't feel as complimented to another compliment. No. But the thing is, if I tell them that upper management said hey, thank you and thank everybody else, then they're gonna wonder, well, who else got the email? Did Scary? Did Scary get it? Did Nate get it? Did all this get it? Did? And they don't want speculation and conspiracy theories. So the question is to the slices, is there any scenario where you fold this email to these people to make them feel good or is it just gonna make them feel bad? I feel like it's gonna make them feel bad. Yeah, and we agree, Yeah, Brodie and I agree on that. So right, So if you were if you were the one of the other people in the morning show. Would you want the email knowing that indirectly they were thanking you, even if they didn't thank you by name, or would you just I'd rather not know, probably rather not know. Otherwise it makes my day turn to ship. But that's not why our asses are stinging. From last night. We were already sidetracked. Okay, well, you see you always We had these fifty artists perform and which was wonderful. It was. It was ran It was live on YouTube and had inter cuts of us doing introductions and doing some fun quick things in between the artists. Members of the show. Right now, you did one by yourself. I did one solo, yeah, and then you and I did I was asked to do one with you where we did a whole brody scary, scary brody right and nobody concert. No, by the way, nobody told me to film it horizontally because we had to film another video, which this was in the instructions. I could point that out. I missed it. Okay, so you missed it. Here's what happened. Well, I'm gonna management didn't contact that's right, that's right. Here's what happened last week. We had to do a video to show before and after, before we shave and after we shave our faces, and they specifically said film it um vertically, so that was in my mind to film it vertically, and they should have filmed anyway anyway, so you can't follow instructions, So I did. I filmed it, by the way, who filmed it vertically? I know? I feel I felt it well as as it turns out, as we're gonna explain, initially, nobody saw it, so you want to explain what happens exactly it because in a three hour concert, three hour concert, three hour, three hour concert, a live event, live to live to tape and streaming live on YouTube, streaming live an hour and a half in and by the shining moment when the scary Brodie Brodie scary it was supposed to happen after Jewel, I was tweeting everybody, Hey, don't forget to watch the show tonight. Watch for us, watch your brody and scary after Jewel and it'll be fun. We have a quick it's only ten seconds, but seconds, but it's a side support. It's who we are, the slicest. We definitely appreciated seeing it right and so I thought, So what happened was in this three hour concert, for maybe a minute and a half the picture from YouTube, the stream froze. It hurt, it herkey jerky, it stuttered and then froze. So I was watching on my computer, so I switched to my smart TV that was frozen. I switched to the firestick that was frozen. And that's when I realized that it wasn't It wasn't us. It was right. The entire feed was frozen. And it happened during Jewels performance, which was mere minutes before we were going on, and I called it. I set up, Mike, here comes the part where our intros fucked up. Right, No, it's gonna be fucking and and and and then sure enough, and I can bring Blip by. You can hear the audio of us, but there was just a freeze frame on literally a few but not only of me. But it was a very unflattering capture. It was mid sentence and Triple Chinned was like, I'm gonna get that off the screen, and it freeze frame on me, and then before long it went to the next artist. Right, So when when Jewel was frozen, I knew what was coming. I knew this could happen, of course, so I took out my phone and I filmed. I filmed. All I heard was I heard Larry David music. Oh no, here we go, of course not for a rant, but for life. Wall was me. This happened. This was my one video, you had to I had the one. I sent the graphic to all seventeen people of Larry Head like like we're about to get screwed. And then and then the slices were tweeting at me, going, oh man, my internet froze. I'm like, no, it wasn't yours. So nobody saw it. Nobody saw us. So the concert was two hours and forty three minutes, which means it was a hundred and sixty three minutes long roughly right, So the odds of its crashing on our clip was basically a hundred and sixty three to one, like if it had a crash during one minute. You know what I think it is? I think the excitement of people tuning in to see us, That's what it was. I thought the same thing. There so many people saw our tweets and my tweet to tune in after Jewel that as soon as Jewel got halfway done, the slices overloaded YouTube. That's exactly what happened, Brody, exactly like that. That that anyway, it was, it's now on. If you go down at Elvis Durand Show, you will see actual it's not it's not up anymore. No, no, no. If you go to at Elvis Durand Show on Instagram and they posted just our posted just us. Okay, So here's the funny thing. Here's the I did they take that down? No, no, no, I thought you meant the whole concert. Here's the ide we're on there. In fact, we should take we should take that video and put it in there into our Brooklyn boys. I have an email to me. I'll phone to you, but let me. He was what I was gonna say. When I filmed the video, I wasn't thrilled with the way it came out. So when it crashed, my wife said to me, you know, in the long run, you got the audio on and you didn't have the video because you weren't happy with it. So so it was perfect. It was the ideal situation for you. I said, you know what, You're kind of right. And then in the web team Aliy and Diana went and posted it anyway on Elvis Durrancho. Right, But what I'm gonna do is I'm going to post the freeze frame and the audio of how it really went down, because I think that's funnier. So I'm gonna post that at some point this weekend. So there you go. It was a good time. It was a good listen. I'm not complaining about it. Just find it funny that, you know, because it only happens to the Brooklyn Boys, Brooken Boys. Other than that, kudos to everybody else. Uh who kudos to the top seven people. Uh, not everybody else, because let's pretend we're upper management, and uh, because they did an amazing job get it. First of all, getting all the fifties something artists together huge. Imagine the emails and phone calls that went on to try and get that coordinated and then to put it all together and amazing. But that one minute out of the hundred sixty three boom scary Freese frame months scary and well that that commercial break came out of nowhere. I didn't even get a warning. Normally you say something like we'll be right back. That was like happened to just have that button just went. Um. I also reloaded him remastered. It was nice and clear and crisp. You heard that in truth? That was good. Oh here's another dilemma I had last night. I don't know if you had the same problem. You know, you and I are football fans, but I like football maybe a little bit more than you, but we both like football. And uh, you know, the NFL draft was last night, So you're hoping that a brody got drafted somewhere so you could buy his jersey for cheap. Yeah, you know, Uh, there's never been a brody in major league sports that spells it the way I do with the way um, so I've never been hitting his There's plenty of bradies. My buddy, my buddy will his last name is Herbert, and uh, a guy by the name of Herbert. Yeah, he got drafted, So he's gonna buy a jersey with the word Hebert on it. Because obviously, when you get it personalized jersey, right, costs a lot more money. But when you buy it in mass produced like that. Plus plus as a Giants fan, Hello, Daniel Jones is the quarterback? Right, You're gonna get a Jones jersey. I'm assuming, of course, he's taken over. He took over, but this year's he better proved himself. He's got a lot to prove. Yeah, but you can get the jersey though anyway. So see, here's my dilemma. I wanted a tweet about the draft, but I also wanted to make sure that people knew I was watching the concert. So I felt like, I can't get to I can't be like, hey, the draft is going on because I'm trying to tweet out to watch the concert. So I was. I was watching the concert and the draft with the sound off um and so, by the way, the Jets did very well. But my favorite that my favorite moment of the draft. If you're an Eagles fan, you'll appreciate this. So Carson Wentz is the quarterback of the Eagles. Two times in the last three years he's got injury where he's missed the end of the season. In fact, two years ago he missed like the last few games and the postseason and his back up Nick Foles had to take over. Right, So Carson Wentz, I think you don't have to tweet me. I believe he missed the end of eighteen, the beginning of nineteen and the end of nineteen, so he's been injured a lot, at least in the last couple of years. So they drafted a quarterback this year, probably too high for a backup because he's talented. And the guy's name is Jalen Hurts. H u Rts. The guy they drafted to protect, the guy who always gets hurt. His name Hurt. So I I that was my favorite up. And then before the draft that the the Jets have a new general manager named Joe Smith. I think Joe right when people are screaming, uh, it's Joe hold On anyway, So they were asking him before the game, um about one of the players on the team. I don't have the audio, but I thought it was I thought it was hilarious. They asked him if if he Joe Douglas. They asked him if he had spoken to Jamal Adams. Jamal Adams is one of the guys on the team who they has been talking about them maybe trading in the draft. Maybe right, So they said, oh, he's on a sports show and they said, have you spoken to Jamal Adams And the response was no, I have not spoken to him since the last time we talked. That makes no sense. Right now. He wasn't talking about talking to the guy on the radio. He was. I knowed he was talking about Jamal Adams, and he said, I have not spoken to him since the last time we talked, the last time I spoke, we spoke. Yeah, well, of course, but he was assuming that that person knew that the last time they spoke was Well, but isn't that the case with everybody? Scary? Was the last time he spoke to your mother? I haven't spoken to my mother since the last time I spoke to my mom, Right, But but then I would be assuming that you knew the last time that. But it doesn't matter, right, like, when was the last time we talked to her? Oh, it was the last time I talked to her? Right, Thank you very much? Should thank you, Joe Douglas appreciate that. Um? Yeah, so I don't. I don't know how to process this. I'm gonna chalk this up as too as as coincidence, not not irony. Okay, did you happen to see what the United States Quarter looks like the tails side of the quarter? Do you know what's on there? Brodie? Um? No, they changed the back of the quarter all the time. Yes, quarter This is not a joke, folks. It's a bat. Oh my god, bats, Oh my god. I'm looking at it right now. It's for national parks. It is a it is a Simoan fruit bat. I cannot believe they did not, Like I know, it takes a lot to stop the mint and halt the presses like all on a second. But somewhere in the last couple of months, even though this was probably slated from last October November, long before there was COVID, did didn't Someone says, let's stop, you know, there's not no there's nobody that could have halted this. What an unfortunate like result to have commemorated on its tails by a bat. And it's two bats. They're upside down and they're disgusting looking too. They're like, oh, it's it's an honor of the Samoan fruit bat. I don't want to fucking even look at that. People are gonna think that quarters are bad luck. You watch this year, there's gonna be an aversion to people carrying quarters with them. So it's currency. It's got a bat on it. Who doesn't allowed this to happen? So these quarters were released in December, which is when COVID nineteen was roughly right, did they can recall them or they could like stop printing the stop the mint. Let's let's continue the rest of this year. Are other species of things out there that they find their parks they have to go. They have to keep it in a bat hold on. It's five quarters that recognized national parks located in American Samoa, Connecticut, US, Virgin Islands, Vermont, and Kansas. By the way, there are national parks all over, so I imagine they're gonna do all the parks when they're all done. Um and so it looks like Salt River Bay is Virgin Islands, and um Vermont is something buildings. I can't read the first word it's covered in this particular picture Billings Rockefeller Tallgrass Prairie in Kansas and National Park for Art in Connecticut. It's a guy painting a house. And American Samoa is two bats. Come on, now have you ever have you so? So? Can't they pick something else for Samoa? It has to be known for something else other than a fruit bat. And look at the date that the Samoa quarter release dates and look so there'll be fifty six quarters in total, all released by next year. The bat quarter was released on your birthday, February three, So it's out there. Uh, it's spreading, It's it's spreading. Does anybody have any slices have one of these bad quarters? Now? I don't know if it was Maybe they halted it. They're in circulation. I don't think no, they there's no story, there's no follow up that says that they were halted from circulation. So nobody has done a damn thing to recall them, or to just take them out and make them just a rare coin and call it a day. And let's let's replace the Samoa symbol with something else. I'm sure they're They're known for other things than bats. I'm just just uh, I don't need to constantly be reminded every time I reach into my pocket of the great pandemic. According to this hold on grabbed the tinfoil hats. People on the internet are going batshit over the quarter. Did you know that the Roosevelt Did you say batship, David Brodie? I did hold on um batshit? Well, thanks to the cold oka. Remember this is how rumors get started. Yep, okay, No, I never said it was done as a conspiracy. Some people are some people believe that. Okay, this so they're showing a bunch of tweets. Um, they think it's a conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy. Yeah, I used this music on my other podcast for conspiracy. Yes, the luxuries of having my own audio equipment here at my house. So this is part of the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of two thousand eight, which was signed by President George W. Bush Um, sponsored by Delaware Representative Okay, whatever the coin Okay, so different quarters ran right in the right for every state. So starting in two five, cord designed would be released each year until the end of the program would only see one quarter come okay, who would have thought? And it would land on All right, we can move on now. But the conspiracy theories are insane. What I'm looking at, dude, everybody's insane. I don't want I don't want to. I don't want to specify any particular craziness going on right now. But again, if there's a look on social media that there's people who are blaming certain billionaires for creating the virus um and because they want to control the popular I mean, it's just it's Bill Gates' Okay, I don't want to say. I didn't want to get into what I don't want. Why is he going to listen to this podcast? No, not Bill Gates. I don't want anybody who thinks that bothering us, Like there's people who think the guy who invented Windows computers is I just I can't. I can't wrap my head around it. I can't, And I don't want to out there, you know, but don't tweet me. I don't. I try to stay away from from conspiracy stuff and politics on this podcast. Although I just had a nice Lysoul Clorox shake, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. I feel healthy. Yeah, So all right, moving on, moving on from the quarter and the bad thing. I thought it was interesting. We we we can um. In other news, I sold my Muppet DVDs. Did you really? Yeah? Dude, what what you know? I gotta say? And I said this on the Big Show, and I will reiterate this here. Clean out your ship. You never know what it's worth or what you're gonna get for it. It's stuff that's laying around. And I I had a fifteen volume set of the Muppet Show. We all remember them. It's thet Show the late seventies, and it was star studied guests. Each episode had one and so each DVD part of the Time Life collection mind you was a three was you know? It had three episodes and it was fifteen volumes set fifteen DVDs, unopened in plastic. I mean, when, when the hell ever am I gonna watch this ship? First of all, I don't. I don't even watch DVDs, let alone, Blu ray, let alone, any of that. Everything I have now is stream Wait minute, why would you let alone? Blue right? Blue ray is better than a DVD? So blue Blu ray, let alone, DVD whatever either ordered way, I'm lucky, and I don't even stream things. I'm lucky. I streamed my piss when i'm when i'm it's going to the bathroom. I don't. I don't want you know me, I don't watch you watch last night? All right? That I did. We'll get to that in a second. I watched The Beast Boys Story on Apple TV Plus. In fact, I became a member because of it. By the way, amazing two hours. We'll talk about that. But point is this freaking DVD set of The Muppets fifteen volumes, and and then I said, you know what, I also have a separate DVD with the first the entire first season. I'm gonna throw that in there as a bonus. So I unloaded that ship and made all this crazy money crazy. Yes, okay, So what I did was I started going through I have, um, I have a very large comic book collection from when I was a kid. And when I say kid, I meet up until my my late teens, and a lot of it is you're still hanging out in your basement with your microphone. You're still a kid. Absolutely, I got my You're relegated to a basement where a pipe is about to burst on your head. I'm not spew fucking toilet water, kay, I'm not relegated to my basement. I choose to be down here because I can be alone to do the podcast. But I got an air hockey table down here. I have bubble hockey, the crazy visual of you under undercovers in the dark fire. What are you talking about. I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna chair on a table and my my, my, um my snowball microphone and uh okay, my my spindles of of c ds have giant racks that spin with shelving CDs another I mean, get rid of that ship. I think it's time. I'm going into my CD collection. Next, I'm gonna Why would I sell my c ds in case I have a need them? Why would I buy the music? Again? I ripped them digitally and then if anything ever happens to them, I have them. Plus they have the art work. I like the ult where I'm not ever getting rid of my CDs. I have my albums when I was younger. I'm not getting rid of that stuff. I have my albums. Yeah, you have your albums, so why wouldn't I keep my CDs also? Now? See these? Now? My my real problem is I'm looking at my shelving unit down here. I've got VHS tapes of like concerts, and and I spent a lot of money on bootleg concerts. So I have terrible news. Shut up because that's where no, well, that that's where that's where the luck runs out. I have uh Friends the entire first, second and third season on on VHS. I have I have Seinfeld the entire first two seasons. Brody. They're worth like a nickel, I know. I looked it up and then nobody's buying VHS tapes. Well, they're not going to tell my god, VHS player that couldn't get ten dollars for that. If you want a VHS player, go into a goodwill. There's a there's there's usually two aisles devoted to old stereo equipment and VCRs and non blue ray DVDs. They're worthless. Uh so, you know, Friends is not on Netflix anymore, and it's coming out on HBO Max. But at some point, at some point, normal people can't pay for every streaming service imaginable, right, So my kids are like, well, we gotta get HBO Max. It's got Friends. I said, we already have like five streaming services. We can't do a sixth one. I said, you know, I have the Blu ray box set, the entire seat, the entire Friends collection on the series. It's in a special box like it comes in a it's like a ten DVD box or nine, the one with the ten DVD box, Yes, that one right. And they looked at me like, you can't expect us to put a DVD into a DVD player to watch a TV show. Wait, they don't want to be bothered no, no, And I imagine a lot of people listening in the same way. They're like, put a DVD in, are you crazy? Man like? But but you have it connected to the booming system. Yeah, I have. I have enough blue ray DVD players for every room, but nobody wants one. They're like, what you want to watch Friends? You can watch any episode? Well, if we get HBO Max, are you paying for it? Oh? My god? So they would rather pay for HBO Max to watch Friends there than to bust open this ten DVD collection and press the power button on the DVD and watch it. That's right, that's right, because they want to watch it on their phone, and they want to watch it wherever they want to watch it. Can you stream your TV to your phone? Yeah? But you can't stream your DVD to your phone. Yeah, but you can stream you DV. DVD goes to your TV and the TVs is can can you connect to your phone? Okay? Do you know? Do you know how that works? Scary? When you watch a DVR or a VCR or any piece of hardware, you know, the tele legacy equipment, you know, the television television set is just a monitor to show whatever you plugged in with it doesn't. It doesn't suck up the video from the DVD and then spit it out on on WiFi to your phone. You can't do that. You can do the opposite. You could, I could take what's on my phone. That's because you're taking digital content on your phone that has data and on the same WiFi as your home WiFi system. You are sending the digital video. Dude, you're you're a tech guy. You're taking the digital video from your foot. You can't do screen mirroring. If your TV is four K digital in all the bells and whistles, and it's it's connected to your internet as well, it has wireless on it. You mean to tell me you can't display the contents of your screen. You can display, You can display digital. You can display, for instance, like your cable box, because that's digital, and if your cable boxes on the Internet, then you could. But how how would you send a Blu ray video disc that's not Internet ready? How would you get it to your phone besides taking the disc out? And I'm asking you, how would you get the content embedded on a disc into the air into your phone to my TV? But I guess not right? All right, So they want to watch it on your phone, and I just want to point I want to point out a game result is they want to They just want their phones and to walk around the house with it and see it there, watch it on your head or right. They don't want to be iPad, right, So therefore there's no possible way. So they're gonna go for the HBO Max that's coming out of your pocket. And then all right, and then you could sell those DVDs. Well, I'm gonna try to sell them now because somebody would love them as a collector or someone who had doesn't want to pay for streaming someone you know, old school or maybe new school. And so I probably paid like a hundred ten dollars for this box set at some point in my life. So whatever I sell it for, I'll look online and see what other people are selling it for, and I'll sell it um and then turn and then take and then take that money. And I'm all so anyway, I'm selling my comic books also, anyone's I have doubles of. Like back in the day, I would prospect. So if you knew like a hot comic was out or it's gonna be worth money, I would buy like ten copies of it, so some of them are worth a lot of money. I can sell nine of them now, or I can sell ten and then buy a cheap reprint of the of the one of it, so that I still have the story if I want it. But I was looking. You're never gonna go back to look at those. That's not true. First of all, you're gonna read that ship first of all. Yeah, first of all, I have a mental read comic books. Not recently, but yeah, I collected them from sport for sport back in the nineties. Okay, so like I read the Walking Dead comics. Um, I read it, you know, but I don't. I don't read that many, but you know what I'll do. So I don't know if you're like this. Mentally, I need to have collections, full sets of things. I need to know I have them. So like my garbage pail kids collection, right, So like if I had, let's have the entire collection. Let's say back, I have no clue I'll never use. So let's say back in the day, I had four albums by an artist and I never got the fifth one. I'll buy the fifth one so I know I have the ball now right, or if I when I was a kid, I had like, uh, let's say Avengers, I'm just making up numbers, Avengers one, three, five to a hundred. I now have the ability, with the Internet and my money to go buy two and four, even if I'm not gonna read them, I get I'm gonna go. I got the set. Now, I got it. I can sleep tonight. You understand how even if you'll never use them, or aware, or or clothing you'll never wear. It's like that. It's like you're not gonna open these up and read the storylines, or are you? I mind? You've got that kind of time? Well, because because I can, I can now see what I missed. I can go back and go, you know what, Now I know how that happened. I missed that issue. The same thing with every CD I ever owned. I I haven't can't tell you. There's this one cabinet I'm looking at right now. It's got all my CDs in it. I can't remember less of I opened that cabinet to to say, you know what, I want to hear that I won't hear Alice in chains. Yeah, but isn't there a peace of mind? I want to hear where's that nine inch nail c D? Isn't there a peace of mind? Though? And you're in the back of your head where you go? You know what? I I know I'm not gonna listen to the Beastie Boys six albums or eight albums because I have them all on on heart radio right. But I have them. If I ever needed them, or I have them, I know they're there. If I want to look the question to ponder, if you want to look at the art, would ever them? Okay, so I have Let's say I have two thousands of a just a general question. This is I'm not trying to grill use, but I'm sure people can. I'm looking at the answer to this question. I'm looking at my CDs. Let's say I've got two thousand CDs in my basement right of music that I like, probably fifty of them. I didn't rip every one of them into iTunes. It's it's too much time. So if I'm in the mood for like, oh, I really want to hear the Rippington's which was fusion music from twenty years ago that I didn't put an I yeah, I could pull it up on Spotify, but I'd like to put the m P three's on my USB drive in my arm rest of my car, so at any moment, I can pull up two thousand, five thousand songs off of a flash drive. I can do that. I don't have to. I don't have to log into my phone and sink it up and then. But I use car play. I can just switch over to USB and play any song I want. The point is, I never know what I want to hear an old album or or CD. I just pull it up. So I'm not gonna throw them out now. If I've got doubles, I sell those because some like before I got married, my wife had a thousand CDs, I had a couple of thousand. We overlapped in musical taste, so we don't need two of everything necessarily, So I can I can sell those, Okay, Well, I'm just I'm just trying to put piece to sault together, because I do have I do have CDs that are even autographed by artists that you would think, oh my god, that's really a collector's item. But I don't need to see the Google dolls. Johnny Resnick his signature on my CD right, some of them don't need to see that. I'm like, that's great. I could I could sell this sold. I sold some of them. Some of the ones I got were like, oh god, they'll the artists will come up and they'll sign like twenty. You know, they're not written to David necessarily, but how great is it if your name is David or Brody? But usually it's there David right. If your name is David, it looks like you got it signed to you right, so that there you go. The problem I have is every anyone who signed it would have signed it too scary, and it's such an uncommon name. It's just useless. Well, I have a Mets jersey that I want to sell, and I keep forgetting to do it because I keep thinking I'm gonna cover it up, you know what I want to say. It was like fifteen years ago. Um, I forget if it was Model's or or the Mets. Somebody said, hey, do you want to a Mets jersey? Would love to get your Met jersey? Which one do you want? It was free. I think it was free, and I said, you know what, they'll go, we'll put you'll put your your number on it, and uh, you know and I said, oh, great, my name and number fantastic. So at the time I I I said, give me the road jersey, the gray Mets jersey, Classic Mets grow jersey, UM, and I ordered it from I think it was the Mets, I think. And I got the jersey and it had my number on it, but it had the name of the player who wore that number at the time, who was a scrub. He was a nobody on the team, but he wore the number that I wanted. So they ordered my number, and I guess they were like, oh, give him Garcia because Garcia wore that number. But Garcia is nobody in the history of the Mets. However, if your last name is Garcia and you want to Mets jersey and you don't mind the number on it not being your favorite number, I'm gonna make a killing off of it. Garcia is a very popular last name. So I've heard it. So I've heard, so I I may that's great, seeing now that works. Now you're trying to think. But what I'm my My larger point is, let's try and clean out the ship. We're sitting here in quarantine the time. Oh, I sit on the couch during the Morning show, and I sell stuff on eBay. Uh, okay, while you're at work, you really want to admit that during work or when we go to commercial for nine minutes we played, we play commercials and a song. I've got a couple of minutes. If I have nothing going on, I might post something or take at least take pictures. Usually I just take pictures of stuff on the couch next to me, So that's not really like, that's not like I'm not listening it. I gotta get into the business of selling more ship because I really liked my first taste of that. Dude. I sell everything, unloading a DVD set of Muppets which I will never open or watch for a hundred and making a d I sell. I sell old phones, I get a ton I found a pair of sneakers. I don't want to get into it because I'm gonna sell it when I sell it. I bought these sneakers again, like fifteen years ago, and I never wore them. I thought the colors were great, but the bottom was kind of weird, had like springs in it. It was kind of weird looking, and I never had the balls to wear them. And now I go on you on eBay and they're on open They're brand new, and they're worth like two d and fifty dollars. And I bought them at an outlet store because they were discontinued and there there there. I don't want to get into details of it, but I'm gonna sell them. And they were just sitting around in the bottom of my closet in a box and they have value because it's like things age and you're like, oh, I'm never gonna use this. Then fifteen years later there are collector's item and I'm like, oh, I'm sitting on hundreds of dollars. So I'm just making money left and right sitting home. That's really my point. You're just rolling in it. I wouldn't say I'm rolling in it. Um anyway. Uh oh, you know what, can we play some sound? We can because I we gotta wrap this up in like fifteen minutes, so uh, if not less? Okay? So no, that's what she said. Well, you're gonna spring a commercial break into this without telling me, So you wanna do that here? Uh and I'll place out you know what, I think we can go a little longer. All right, Well, let's let's okay, so this clip, I officially hate you. Okay, So this clip. This is a guy named Gary Cohen. He's the former chief advisor to President Trump. He was a member of the cabinet and he's I thought he was a sporty for the men. No different, Gary Cohen, this guy is a financial genius. And now you know, people have been saying PPE equipment, which is personal protection equipment, even though it's PPE, and I think they's just call it, first of all, get rid of all three three initials names abbreviations because people are always saying the third one right ATM machine the number. Okay, so should just be P equipment at this point. But you can't call it PP equipment, you can't, okay. So now last week they rolled out the Payroll Protection Program. Okay, that is that is the multibillion dollar UH relief program. I know where this is going that the government signed and and it's to give small one of them was for small businesses and some of them for unemployment. And it's to take care of people who and companies that are losing money. So here is Gary Cohen talking about the Payroll Protection Program, or is one might call it the p P P P p P. You know me and I think this actually makes more sense. We should say that any company that takes money from the p p P program any of the other programs. Remember, the p p P program is just one of the government. He said it to what now in that interview he said it like seven times, but that one. You got to forgive the guy once again. You know, he's on TV. He's probably just out of sorts. He's trying to focus on saying the right thing. He probably didn't realize it. I'm just saying, go back to all the I mean, I'm not trying to defend the guy, but like I'm just saying. Grande said it in Seven Rings, which is you know a T M. Machines. Yeah, I know, Well Beyonce, she did it, and and that's that song is like a number one smack. I know how many people are calling her ship around on that ship or Halsey for that. You know, I think people get awake. But that's poetic license. When when Beyonce said I could care less that, I got a little upset with that. I got upset. But it's poetic, it's poetic license. I guess I'm just saying I'm not criticizing Gary Cohen. Necessarily, I'm saying that's the new A t M machine. The NUN number is the p p P program and the personal the p p P, the PPE equipment. That's all I just I'm I noticed it. I'm passing under along. A lot of our slices send me screenshots of people doing this doing similar, So I just try to mention it. Now you want to hear. I was gonna say, do you want to play our new songs or no? Well, do we have any people that would the song? Would actually? Okay? I didn't screen. I want to make sure that that we play the song for a purpose. So are there is there a reason to play the song? Just to hear you know what? I'm trying to remember. We had a couple I think I texted you during the show when somebody texted in, well we could save it. Why don't we save the songs for next week? We have some new songs. I haven't got some new music. I have three times when it's appropriate to play the song. We need a reason, all right. So yeah, I wanted to talk about a YouTuber that I'm a big fan of um and I insulted him. I think but he didn't understand the insult and thanked me. Okay, so well, I'm not going to mention who the YouTuber is, but it's someone I watched three or four times a week, right, I like him very much. Um. And for the first time in the five or six years I've been watching him, he decided to bring his life onto the to the video. So he did a live stream where he took questions from people, and his wife came on. He's talked about his wife many times, and she was a whispering, mumble mess. She and she talked through her note. She was like um, and she kept saying she's introverting, but she meant she's introverted. Right. She's like, I'm sorry, Like why isn't she talking? He's like, I'm introverting, so god, So she didn't really um. She didn't really talk a lot. So the way it looked um on the screen was um. By the way, I know that the word introverting his word um, but she it doesn't matter anyway. UM. So he had his arm around her, like to make her feel comfortable, but it looked like his arm was like up her shirt. Maybe it wasn't, but it was like you know, behind her, and every time the live stream would ask her a question estion, he'd said he'd have to like he'd have to explain what the question was to her, and then she would write back. She would say something like, well, you know, I don't think I do, and then he would say yeah, so she totally agrees with that, like he would almost translate her mumbling, and so it was very hard to watch because listen, she's an adult, she's in her thirties, and she would she couldn't talk. Look, I know that happens to people. I get that not everybody's outgoing and talkative, but it seemed odd. It seemed odd to put her on a live web stream when people wanted her to talk anyway. So he would like look at her and go, yeah, so what do you think about that? And then she would respond and he would tell the camera louder than the way she said it. So I commented, because on on YouTube, it's not my real name, and I just said, I kind of feel like I'm watching a VL trillo Quis show, because it looked like with his hand on her back, that she was the puppet. So he thanked me. He gave me like a. He liked the post and when thank you appreciate your watching the whatever was he wrote your What were your exact words? I said, I said, I it wasn't to him, I made the comment on the video, I did, what was what you give me your phrases? I said, I feel like I'm watching a ventriloquist act implying she's a dummy. No, I understand what you were applying. But that's all you said, just like that. There was nothing else, nothing else, And he liked it. And it wasn't a sarcastic like like thanks man. Maybe he doesn't know what a ventriloquist is, so you think he's as wife. Maybe he was just going down the line and just starting to hit the heart like like like like like like he's just excited that somebody I had something to say about. Well, my point was, I felt really bad after I did it, but then he liked it, So I feel like I don't think he got what I was trying to say. Is there any way is there any way he could have taken it as a compliment? I implied, I think you're reading into it. I think he's the kind of person who just goes around and just hits the heart on everything. Alright, So you think he just he just liked everything, right, because there's no way he could have liked that. It was a mass blanket of likes, like, oh, somebody responded to me, okay, So just to be clear, there was no way to take that as a compliment, right, There's no way, zero, zero way a ventriloquist act. All right, would you like? I found this was a sign that somebody posted in the East Village of Manhattan. This is a sign wrapped around a pole, written written on an eight and a half by eleven piece of paper. But it's uh, it was typed out nicely, big bold writing, big and and they were on several poles. But here is someone screenshot at this and this is true and this is not a grammar police thing. Must be a lot of runners in this area, people getting exercise. Okay. So it says dear jogger, bicycle douche bag, yuppi slash millennial narcissist swine colin put on a fucking mask in big bold letters, period. Please respect your community and the lives of others. You do not live alone, period, Love the East Village. How great is that? I mean? Somebody who's just like in your face. Hey, we were just thought I would share that we were talking about collecting comics, and one of the other things I collected as a kid was baseball cards, and so I probably I have probably I have all my baseball cards. Also, do you think my garbage pail kids stickers are worth anything? By the way, I'm seriously starting right here on this podcast, I had this this no ship. I'm like, that's a really good you've talked about You've talked about selling these for like ten years on air on the Big Show. Yeah. Well didn't I go on eBay and tell you they're be worthless? Yeah? Yeah, I think I all right, Okay, So what I was saying was I'm on Facebook as we're talking, because that that dead bastard wrote me back again on Facebook, the guy I'm politically fighting with on on my Facebook page. Why don't you respond to him? Not gonna do that anyway. There's an ad on my Facebook page by it's by Tops, the pre eminent baseball card company in my opinion, the original or one of the originals. Um, there's now I guess it's an app where you can collect baseball card images and trade them with other people, so it looks like the like it's like a picture on your phone of a card. So instead of paper cards, you can digitally get cards of baseball players and then trade them with people. Like you buy a pack of digital cards and then trade them with other people who bought digital cards and then collect your favorite players. That seems like a waste of money. Yeah, that's g I feel like you could just Google image the card and then just screenshot it or download the picture. But if you've got nothing to do when you're stuck in your house, it says you can trade with fans around the world. Do you think people in Kenya collecting American baseball cards they're gonna want to trade with me? You could do, you know, but it's not an untrue statement. You couldn't trade with people around the world because around the world. Yes, I understand that, Yes, I just I wonder if if you know around the world, I think that's a bit much. If you got a couple of a couple of email and if you have some tweets. I have some I have some tweets, I have some pictures I want to send, and then one last thing, I have something a couple of rants, but I've noticed four of them are about CVS and Walgreens, because that's that's the only place I'm going right now, the supermarket. I have to supermarket complaints and four complaints from drug stores. Where else am I going? Where else? Is anybody going? I can't tell you what happened in a baseball game or a concert. We're not going there. Am I wrong? You're no, You're not all right? So tell me what did you read? What you wanted to read? Mold talk that change like it's mail time. Welcome, You've got mail? All right? You could always email us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. We always read them, at least I do. Brodie may or may not. I don't know. I don't even have the password, but I phone were the good ones to you? Um we let's let's go to um Rachel G who um was loved the Online Guy No episode episode zoom your poon. I'm a big fan. Hold on, love the Rance Brody. Okay, hold on, we we all hold Okay, I'm a big fan. Love the Rance Brody and always take your advice that even is not even It's helped me many times. We started anyway started from zero, and I was listening to the current podcast and the Guano Conversation. Sent this photo that I found from a friend on the same day. I knew you guys needed to see this. Hope we're both staying safe. Rachel g from Yonkers and she sent the picture, the black and white picture of the woman on all fours, bent over with her skirt up and high heels and with trying to zoom her poon to her Guano who's looking into the camera. And yes, Brodie, now say what you were about to say. Well, first, I don't want to discourage anybody, but we've all seen that picture at this point. Right by the eleventh time, I say, I can't see it enough. So it's funny, but it's okay, it's funny. But after like the episode is four weeks old, chances are we've seen it. We also got tweets this week that said, you guys have probably seen this, so I try to, you know, not upset that you sent it. We're good now, we're good on the black and white picture of the woman on all fours. Also also, actually I'm not send him directly to make Jones. So I have six or seven great photograph photoshopped uh memes images of various forms of the president drinking Clorox and Clorox bottles that say drink as a cocktailing. I got them all. I'm good. I'm good. Okay, um, all right, LIANGI wrote, uh, please do not read my name on the podcast. Okay, good job, scare No no no, no, no, no no, it's not the real name. Oh the real name is somewhere else at the bottom. Okay, So they said I've been a long time listener, although I'm sad to say that I wasn't there at zero. I started listening when you guys hit double digits, and yes, now I listened in order listen to all the podcasts excessively, probably about fifteen listens per episode. Wow, that's a lot. And I don't start from zero every time. My question is, is it okay that I don't start from zero every time? If before you listened to every episode multiple times. I trying to jump around and listen to my favorite episodes of course. Yeah. The only thing we said listen in order is so that you know what's going on and you get all the jokes. But once you get all the jokes, do what you want, although they go on to say that they live in Wisconsin with the fast food chain culver Is being right here. Um, they serve the best burgers, and you could see the grease dripping off the burger when you get it. The custard is incredibly creamy and just delicious. So they make you pull up at the drive through. But I put up with it, and then I say, and I'll tell you why. First of all, I go there religiously, to the point where there are employees that know what I order when I walk in the door. Second, they have excellent customer service. I was at the drive to the other day and I pulled up, I waited fifteen minutes, and I was about to walk in and ask what the heck was taking so long, And an employee walks out and brings me my food, and along with it two coupons each for a free basket value meal for the next time I came Boom free dessert. I didn't even ask for it. Unlike most other places, they acknowledge they have messed up, and I didn't even have to go into in there to complain that they're we're already willing to do something to fix it. They pre emptively gave him free dessert. This is what customer service is all about. This specific location is I will say it's the only time that I've ever seen it, but anyway sets the example for the rest of the while. The food she described sounds fantastic, and now we can't get it. I want to go to Culver's. Let's go to Culver's. Oh my god, sounds good. Um. By the way, speaking of people who listen episodes four or five times, episode one eighteen entitled Scary's Mom Sucks, it still has the fewest listens. What is wrong with that episode? Nothing because it it doesn't say sucks, dick. If it did, then it would happen. Yeah. So it used to say scary scary head of problem with Brunch, and I changed the scaries Mom sucks and the listeners went up. But it's still it's still lagging behind. I will tell you that. Um. The don't drink the Corona Chino episode Skyrocketing episode one. I think that was when people started getting quarantined, or at least like when people were settling in because it's huge, So maybe something great about that episode. But I looked at it and you could see by day, how many people listen and the day we all got sent home. Right, it's like a couple of days later it's spiked. So I think that's I think that's people's quarantine episode. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, we have a lot of people asking us to do more than one episode a week. We could barely do this one. It's Saturday, Saturday, and we're doing this for you people. But then again, we have no excuse. We should have done it on Thursday. Right. Shout out to Mary Gray car at Mary Muo too. She tweeted me and said, just got a refund on my car insurance. Thanks for the tip. So, uh, I'm like the Gecko, except I'm saving on your car insurance. I'm like, I'm like flow, but I'm extra progressive. So um, a couple more. Um. We have people get pitching us guests and I don't know if that's the this is the forum for it, so let's not talk about that. Okay, Well, well, well wait a minute. Pitching his guests like they're eight their pr people and they have a guest they want to have on the show. Yeah, is it someone? Is it an author of like how to Fight the Illnesses? Or is it fun? Is it a fun thing? No, they are. Let's see it's somebody who uh looks to this. You know I can't even tell no, fuck it, no, you don't want this person. Trust me. I can already tell this is not it's not gonna approve. Are you saying? Wrote you guys are awesome listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast in addition to loads of alcohol. The both of you in the podcast help me. He's listening to alcohol. He said, he's listening to the Brooklyn Boys, and the way he wrote it was listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast in addition to loads of alcohol. Okay, so he's listening to Obviously he's drunk when he wrote this. To give him a free pass because it says it right there. So he's listening to the alcohol. He's and my friend Jack Daniels called yeah. Well anyway, it's helped me keep some kind of normalcy and sanity while quarantined here in Rochester, New York. Started from zero, I'm up to three. Just heard scary called COVID nineteen the Rona and almost fell out of my chair. My wife and I have been calling it the Rhona, the rhoney et cetera for a while now, just to keep things as lighthearted as possible, wanted to say, what's up from Rochester. Let you know how much I appreciate both giving me a glimmer of sanity, uh during get Oh, I appreciate you both giving me a glimmer of sanity during these crazy times. I thought he was about to say both that and and then period are your exactly? Hashtag slice for live hashtage hashtag f you, Agnes, thank you, Steve, and then um, can we talk about the mousaka lady? No very upset? You're upset or she's upset? She's upset Angela's I think just so she's not more upset at us. I think it's pronounced mouska, right, And that's exactly where she was going. Oh, I got it, Yes, So glad. My sister stumbled upon your podcast last year. She was listening to Thanksgiving episode where Brody was talking about how his family decided to tell his aunt during dinner her friend had died. Actually, that was me, It was my my that was me that was talking about. Okay, it doesn't matter. She's been both laughing hysterically. Born and raised in l A. But my loud ass Italian Russian family is straight up jersey. I was hooked after that, and I've been listening in order damnit ever sanch, which brings me to my point. I'm up to the episode, and Moosaka is not pronounced moosaka, Sorry, scary. I married into a Greek family with an fob of mother in law fob, and you know you are saying it right when it sounds like moose aka or moose kaca, as I like to call it. I'm sure someone else is correct as you by now. I'm only up to episode, but I had to chin in. Thank you, Angela Spiritos. What does fob such an f ob mother in law? Um? Fresh off bitch, fresh fresh off? No, it means fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat fob. Yes, I have heard that before. I don't know why I forgot it. Anyway, I knew that, yep, I knew that, Mousica. Then we have a couple of long ones here that I'm just gonna let you know that they got free dessert. Cynthia Chung shout out to you and Luis Aguilar uh from your favorite Salvadorian slice. He also wrote a long one too. I don't know if we want to go into it right now. All right, it's it's it's a lot. I think that.

It sounds great. I don't have time. You think you have time. You don't have time. No, I know we don't. And one further note, as someone tweeted at me about this follow up and it's obvious what the answer is going to be. They said, Hey, a couple of months ago, you guys teased the Brooken Boys merch Store coming soon. And guess what we were right at that point, and we got quarantine to quarantined. It was. It was about that time we were going Bertie, Bernie and I were actively going through the catalogs of things if we could possibly make and make happen for you guys. We had a company ready to go. We asked you guys for suggestions, and then the covid hit the rona, the covid rona, the Rona hit us, and so we apologize for that. We'll get back on track when we can and uh, but Brody, what if we did like a one time only Brooklyn boy's face mask? I mean, now is the time to strike. Those are gonna be useless in a few months, right, you know what? That's a that's an item, brother, that's a let's get that thought. Can't we just do that one? Here's the problem. You call that guy and make that happen. Things, get it going. I think I don't need a whole merch store. Let's just get the mask at slowdown, Jackson. I think the guy's company is shut down because of the RONA don't okay, listen, we gotta wrap this up. I gotta go pick up dinner. In other words, you gotta take a ship. No, I gotta pick up dinner.
