00:00:41
Speaker 3: Man?

00:00:42
Speaker 2: Let me let me explain slices. I love doing this, but Scary wanted to do this at a certain time. And then when I said okay, he's like in fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, he keeps backing it up, backing it up, so he's backing that ass up. Well, now I'm happy to be here, Bliver I have Yeah, go ahead, you're you're you want to go swimming on probably one of the shittier days of the year. I mean, the county, the Canadian wildfires are happening. It's it's smoky out there. It's grossed. I can't see the sun. I could barely, you know, I could. I can barely see the Empire State Building from where I sit. And if you know where I sit, I have a clear view of the Empire State Building. It's insane. It's smoggy and foggy and gross. Why do you want to go swimming in that? Uh? Michael Martin Murphy sang the song Wildfire perfect trant called in wild anyway? So yeah, why why do you want to go swimming? And where I live? Because where I live it's clear, it's beautiful out and it's like eighty three to eighty four degrees. So I don't you know, it's good for me. I don't know about you. It's good for you. Fire all right? Yeah? Sea for You? Was that similar Gomez and the scene I don't know if that was the scene Love You like a love love song was part of it? Well, yeah, it's okay, all right. Uh this reminder, I was with Selena Gomez the first time she ever heard one of her songs on the radio. This is how I said, Hey, you're on the radio. Oh my god. She didn't even realize it. So I may have said that told that story before. She won't remember. But if she remembered the first time she ever heard a song on the radio and you said, was there a guy standing next to you? She'd be like, maybe that was me and her mom. Anyway, this is episode three eighty two. Now I need a favor from especially people who have start Thank you people who started listening to us in April of this year of twenty twenty six, when we ended up in the Elvis Drand Podcast Network folder. So what I think is happening is you guys go in to listen to the Elvis Durand show right the phone tap and the horoscopes and whatever segments that you missed on the show on the Big Show, and you see our podcast, You're like, oh, Brooklyn boys have a new episode, and you go and listen. But sometimes because Elvis has a show every day, we only have a show once a week, right, So if we post the episode and it's not the day you went looking in the Elvis Durant folder, you might not think of us as top of mind. You might not see our podcast and you may have to scroll like twelve inches down to find us. So I'm noticing what happening is Sometimes if we release a podcast on a certain day, on a good day, if it's the right exact moment we get I make up a number. Now, let's say thirty thousand people listen the first week, right, but sometimes eleven thousand people listen the first week. So I feel like we really need you, people who enjoy this podcast, to subscribe to the Brooklyn Boys podcast on whatever platform you listen, so you're notified a new episode. You'll get the notification and your text message data and message rates applying. What is it? Nobody Nobody pays for text anymore, and we don't need to legally say that the radio stations do. Okay, I'm just curious because sometimes our episodes are very big, and sometimes they're a medium big. Sometimes they're just big big. And prior to this boost of new listeners, we were always consistently getting around the same amount. All the regulars listened every week, and I was fine, right rollercoastering. So if you feel like, oh, three eighty two, I think I listened to the last Dame, I listened to one episode last week. You're missing some you know, we think you're missing great content. So we would hope that you will listen in order and listen. Not everyone has time to go back. We understand that. But if you want to catch every episode and you don't remember what number you listen to, U either automatically download or subscribe and don't miss an episode. Yes, Gary and I we work hard for you. Now, even though I want to go swimming later, yeah, and it'll be later, we have to we have to delay that by an hour. I've got plenty to talk about. I'm excited. Okay, that's I told you. I'm gonna I'm gonna blow the lid off. Sprinkles, sprinkle, Why sprinkles? And why is this directed at me? Well, it's not directed at you, okay, but you want to do that. You don't to blow the lid off? Right now? Could you talk about this crazy phenomenon? And one are the odds the phenomenon? Dude? Do dude? Well phenomenon? So well, let's start with here. Let's start here because this will be a minute. You know, Spain playing Argentina now in the World Cup final set for this coming Sunday. Did Spain win? They beat France? I'm not aware, yes, yeah, so a couple of points. So now England lost to Argentina and France lost to Spain. So Sunday is the World Cup final where the two winners meet, but on Saturday they have the Loser Bowl. It's the fight for third place. So France plays England on Saturday because they were the two losers. Now they've often competed in wars and things. Yeah, in Czech history you'll see. But by the way, I saw a great tweet from Sean from wfa N. He said, oh, England lost on American soil again, big surprise, Hio. It's very funny something like that. My question is soccer fans, isn't that a little anti climactic? Like who wants to watch the loser Bowl on Saturday? I mean, first of all, if you're a fan of either of those teams, it's all sour grapes. It's like, all right, so what Yeah, but the bronze is nice because if you're in the Olympics, you still want the bronze and you still want the third place. I don't know, so it just feels weird. They don't I don't think it really does that. They don't do that in other sports. It's like except the Olympics, you know, but it's basically you know, look, but no major competitive sports have like okay, because usually it was a knockout all the way, just you know, losing, lose, you know, win or go home kind of attitude. But they're not going home. So how do you think the players of these teams feel that they have to stick around for another game? I don't know. It's what you're getting there, getting paid, I guess, or endorsements whatever. I don't know. I got some questions about soccer. I mean, these are not questions that I need you to leave and talk back and answer for me. They're just I understand them. I just don't get it. If that makes sense, right, Like I get it, I just don't get it. Number One the mystery time at the end of the game, where they just add mystery time. I understand why they do it. I just don't get it right. I want to know how much time you don't want to tell the players, like this strategy involved. If you know you have nine minutes or seven minutes, you might play differently correct. Also as a viewer, I want to know how much tension I should feel. Do they have a minute left? They have three minutes left? It's ridiculous. Do they just add miscellaneous water brakes and It's just what they should do is play with the clock stoppage where for the for the you know the time that day. Yeah yeah, So this way you could see a clock counting down trauma. There's and this is not a sports podcast. I apologize, as I always do, but if the ball goes out of bounds, they don't stop the clock. They don't. So I was watching England and Argentina because I was I was at somebody's house that had it on. And the ball goes out of bounds, the team that's winning takes their own sweet time. I gotta ball, throw the ball in a minute, give me a minute. The clock's running. There's no motivation. No look, I know they get a yellow car if they take too long, but they should have like stop the clock, right They ridiculous. Also, again, I'm not a soccer expert, and I don't need you to tell me why. I'm just saying I get it. I just don't get it now in basketball, which is a much smaller court, and I've always said the soccer field's too big, you know, I've said that on this podcast. Yep. In basketball, when the point guard is bringing the ball up from one end to the other, by the time he gets to mid court, the defense swarms him. Right, they get in front of him and they make or her if you watch the WNBA, and they make sure that the point guard doesn't have free movement, right. But watching soccer, they let the offense come from all the way by their goal, all the way to mid court, midfield, all the way to three quarters to the net, and then they start playing defense. So I'm yelling at the TV. As little as I care about soccer, I'm like, why aren't they like running up and trying to slow them down, make them earn it, wear them out. Nope, they're let in Argentina come three quarters and then they got right let's place. Because what I was told was after they scored England scored their first goal with and it was one nil, they changed their strategy to play just defense and not go on the offensive and not try and still continue to score goals. They were like, okay, well we're gonna just try and like prevent prevent them. Right, It's stupid, but anyway that that defense. So they kept letting Argentina get into their end. And so you've you've taken away You've given them the opportunity to get close every time, and for like twenty minutes England spent I'm sorry England, Argentina was practically camped out living in the England half of the field. Don't I don't get it. That was a terrible it was terrible strategy on England's part and they paid the price for it. Now the crazy phenomena that I was talking about, dude, Now that Argentina won and they faced Spain, you know that, you know the two strikers, the two main people. Well, well it's Messy is the name, the guy on the Argentina. But he's like pretty much like the Lebron James, the Michael Jordan of the entire sport. He's the best in the business. He's the best in the business. We're highly regarded. And the story for that, well he is face seeing what the Spain striker where. Now, the two guys have this one thing in common. Back when Messi was twenty years old, this guy on the main guy on Spain was like six months old. He was a baby. The mother. The mother applied for a co a contest with the UNICEF and won the contest, and the contest was to meet Messi and take a picture with Messi. So there's a picture out there, it's not Ai, folks, of a twenty year old Messi with the six month old striker from the Spain team. He will he will have would have gone go on to become the main guy for Spain. And this dude, Yamal Yaman, I think his name is Yamin, whatever his name is, but I'm going to tell you what I think his name is. It's Leamne Yamal Jama Jamal, It's Jamal. So this dude, dude now is facing Messi in the World Cup final. What are the fucking odds, rita one, No, it's not because one of the odds, this dude was gonna take a picture with Messi when he was like six months old and then go on to become the best, one of the best in the fucking sport like Messi and then it's insane. So this guy's ladies, this picture is out there of a twenty year old Messi with this six month old kid. Just know they're gonna face each other in the finals this Sunday. To me, that's mind boggling. That is ah crazy moment. A million millions of to one. I mean Anyway, Remember this guy has to go on and have a career, a soccer career, a big you know, and then make it to the finals of the World Cup. And Argentina had to do the same with Messi all these years later. Anyway, crazy, it's tremendous, but tremendous, all right. Anyway, you listen, sometimes little kids we take pictures with celebrities and become famous actors. Right, but do they face them in the finals. It's crazy, No, they don't face them in the finals. No, anyway, No, right, anyway, I know, soccer talk. That's well, that was more of just an oh wow moment that has nothing to do with soccer. It was was was was your coworker Danielle from the Elvis Durran Show very upset today. There's her husband's British and our kids rout England. They all were for England. They are an England household, and yeah, they're they're very upset. But you know, Danielle made a statement on the air today. It was very sweet, very heartfelt. A lot of listeners related and resonated with them. And you know, Danielle's just happy that Americans finally discovered and care about soccer and tomorrow twentieth you know, because we got the host we had, we got to host it. It's great. And again when I when we say Americans don't care as much for soccer, we mean you're multi generational Americans, not people that came from other countries. They cared about soccer. There's a closest that that has occurred in the country they didnas No, Pride is terrific, but America has other things to focus on. Yeah, it's like New York. There's so much going on here. It's hard for like everyone to like all rally around one thing. Yeah, okay, although we did rally around the next say, and Taylor Swifts wedding, I will be right back, will we. Oh by the way, were you at Taels Swifts wedding? Did you get an invite? Uh? No, that's not got lost in the mail, did you No? But let's talk about DJs when we get back, djar and Rody. I got a picture behind me. You know, if this was a video podcast, the slices would see this is a Keith Harring painting or you know, you know, he's like the cartoonist dude. Yeah, died unfortunately years ago of eight, but as a framed picture and it's a it says DJ on it and the guy's got doing the wiki wiki with the two turntables, Yes, but no microphone. Two turntables, no microphone. Uh. I'm glad that you and I didn't do this trend, but a lot of people did and got called out for it. All the radio personalities that were posting pictures saying, like with a picture with Taylor Swift saying, oh, I hope my invitations in the mail they or they did ai pictures of themselves outside Madison Square Garden like it was. It was a joke that was beaten to death. And I think if you did it like you were the first person to do it. But once every DJ in America for the most part, puts up a picture like, oh, one of tell us, what's gonna invite me? Whatever? You know, it was a little hackey at that point, don't you think I would say?

00:14:28
Speaker 3: So?

00:14:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't even go there. We did, honestly think Elvis was gonna get invited, but he didn't. One of our friends from the record label got invited and went and had a great time. I spoke with him and then Ryan Seacrest was also invited, but then he had something else to do. But he did that thing. He did that thing, Brody where he got the credit showed everybody that he was invited. He goes, yeah, I was invited, and he really was. But he said, oh, but I have I have to do the this thing for ABC. And he literally didn't go to the wedding because he had something else going on with fireworks in the fourth of July. Yeah, he had to tape a special, but he made it known, which is so nice. Now I know people that were at the wedding. I know people personally who are there. I know her manager and her road manager. I know people on her team personally, but I wasn't going to reach out to them and ask him for an invite. That's like I get concert tickets sometimes, but I would never do that. But they I'm sure they were air you know. Speaking of concert we didn't we didn't do the we didn't do the DJ concerts. I went to see Ariana Grande Gone on Monday night. She was phenomenal. Oh my god, Brodie, she was so good. That is the That is the word of the episode. By the way, phenomenal phenomenally. She was. You know, I grew up listening to Ariana Grandee and so it was. She wasn't born when you were growing up on a hit factory. I mean, you forget how deep her catalog is. She seen her catalog, but I'm sure at this point she hits pretty deep. And you know, contrary to popular belief, she was singing. She has some voice on her, but you already know that the things she can't sing, she no. People were thinking, well, how does she dance? She sings because she's got a show that's all choreographed and stuff, but she knows how to do it, you know, the right way she lets Oh yeah, yeah. She definitely had guide tracks with her and stuff like that, but she had you know, the real band on stage rocking out. She her her The setup was similar to like a like a Taylor Swift, the way she had that like long runway, so you know, she kept walking all over the place, and the whole arena got got a little up close with with Ariana. But she was great and despite some technical difficulties which were embarrassing, uh, she made it through and she she crushed it. She crushed all her vocals and if she comes to your city, goat, you know, have a chance to see her do it. But her tickets are stupid expensive, right now, Yeah, they're like they're like light switch, like three light switch expensive all right, Chli poo oh yeah, light switch right, good, Well, all those references to light switch. You never said Charlie Pooth before. I think I did on someone. I remember when he first that song was a single. He came on the morning show and talked about his how he wrote it and what the inspiration was for this song. Anyway, back in the day talk, we've been talking about regionalisms because in New York we say online or inline depending on whatever we come out with. And also the same way we say radiator and radiator and the two different things. That's just New York, right, The radiator is radiator, the radiators in your house, the radiators in your car. Even though it's the same thing, we pronounce each one differently. Don't ask why, I have no idea, but now so I have been spending time around, thank you. Yeah, I'll get I'll get to so. Anyway, some of my cousins. My cousin married a guy from the Philadelphia area and she moved down there, so they live down in the outside of Philadelphia, and so they sometimes she I will catch her using a Philadelphia expression and I go, oh, come on, You're in New York and it's got to stop, right, So I I just I drew the line. I drew the line because she said something to her husband, said something about Jimmy's, and I just was like, no, they're fucking sprinkles. I'm not getting into this to stop it. Stop it. You're in New York, the Sprinkles. So it was like, no, they're Jimmy's. So it's crazy, by the way, it's crazy you're mentioning that because Elvis accused me falsely on the air of calling them Jimmy's. And I know, I don't call them Jimmy's, call them sprinkle Who does what region are we talking about that calls calls them Jimmy's. So for the most part in the in the northeast of America, the only places that call them Jimmies are Philadelphia or the regional area of Philly connect Pennsylvania and New England, yeah, surrounding area. I did some research as to why that is. There's one of two different theories, but The prevalent one is that a company in nineteen thirty, the company that makes peeps born originally from Brooklyn but then moved to uh Pennsylvania. They had a machine that made sprinkles, and the guy who operated the machine's name was Jimmy James Bartholomew, so they called them machine the Jimmy Machine because he operated it. Now, again, this could be an old wives tale, but this is what the Interennet says is most likely the people that claim that that's where the name came from, that they decided to rename the product. Now here's the weird thing. If they're chocolate, they're Jimmy's. If they're rainbow, they're called rainbow sprinkles. If they're on a donut, they're sprinkles. They're only Jimmies. If they're chocolate and on ice cream, that's and then this is according to people who accept the word Jimmy's to begin with yeah, correct, correct. However, research, according to my research, has shown that prior to this company referring to them as Jimmy's, other ice cream companies in Philadelphia called them sprinkles. Even the chans right, which means much like we say Scotch tape and once you xerox that for me or FedEx that even when you're using ups or people in this country call every friggin soda coke. The brand name has become the name, so you call them jimmies because regionally that's what like, you know, they call them that. Yeah, yeah, Okay. It's like in New Jersey, there's no such thing as Taylor. Hands. Don't start with this. Hold on, hold on, It's only ham made by a company called Taylor, so they're known for it. But if you don't know the company, or you're from South Jersey where Taylor isn't a big deal, correct pork roll and by the way, Taylor and says it on the fucking package, it's is Taylor pork roll. So you could say Taylor ham if you want, but it's not. That's not proper. And here I am in North Jersey, agreeing with the southern part of the state. Yeah, scary could get a baseball back to his head the same because I'm here in Jersey Hobok, in Jersey City, They're like, no, it's fucking Taylor ham Mayla hammeg and cheese tailor. But Taylor word by the way, I will also tell you Taylor is the best brand of this port. That's that's what you're used like heine, I love it's the best. But anyway, yeah, there's all kinds of pork tailor, so Jimmy's is not technically correct other than the read so again. According to this article, Boston was one of the first companies to buy the sprinkles and the ice cream from this company up in filled down in Philadelphia. So anyway, I gotta be honest. I didn't really give it much thought and it really wasn't ruining my day. But you made it because it's summertime. It's summertime. Jessey Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Oh fuck you, well you said right, yeah, you're right, you're right. Now. That leads me to one more fight that I had now, slices, you're going to think about a place that you grew up with or the way you say something, and I was. I had lunch day at my friend paper Menu, and he had one of these in his life that he remembered from Brooklyn. I used to go to a club back in the day when I was younger going to clubs that all of the hair bands we know today all of the heavy metal bands all got their start or played at this club in Brooklyn called lamore l Apostrophe A m Oh you are. Every band thanked them, every band performed there. Sometimes bands would go there under different names, like huge bands like Iron Maiden. It's where Metallic I got started, like all the all the big metal legends Gary Place, Iron Maiden. I was there every weekend. I loved it, right, But growing up in Brooklyn, Apostrophe A m Oh you are, Lamour everybody called it Lamore's, and they said it with a Brooklyn accent. You go to Lamore's, right, Yeah. There There was no big sign on the front of this place. It was on a shitty street with like off lots street like junkyards, which bordered the train which was below the train yard. Awful. Yeah, it was just a dumpy area and in the middle of warehouses was this amazing rock club. So it wasn't like you go to McDonalds and it says McDonald's on the sign. It was just like a dumpy place with a little awning And it may have said Lamour written properly, but everyone knew it was Lamour's. So I'm in a Facebook group dedicated to this club where people reminisce and put up pictures whatever, and again it's l apostrophe, am oh you are. So some guy writes, what's the best band you ever saw at Lamore's l A M O R s Lamour's Lamors? So I say, I don't know, I've never been there. There's no such club. And a couple of people like hilarious, you know, slaughing emojis because they know. So you're in a Facebook group that's spelled the name is right there on the group. So this guy says, that's where I'm from, so fuck it, and I go, I go, I don't know what that means. What do you mean that's where you're from. You're from the club. I'm from Brooklyn. And we say Lamore's no, And I said, okay, I said, you've had dude, you've had a lifetime to learn the name of the place. Right when we were kids, it's one thing, but we're adults now. And it's the name of the Facebook group you're in. It's Lamore and there's no ass and it's spelled this way. I'm just I'm just making a joke. Well, you're obviously you're ashamed of your Brooklyn roots because we say Lamore's and that's the way you're going to pronounce it. And I don't know, you're some yuppie and I'm like, oh my god. So I said, you know, you have thirty forty years you got to learn in life, right. So then it reminded me of all the people that say, like might add an antwot Sam, I'm going to the Walmarts. It's it's not the Walmarts. It's just Walmart where people are going. I'm going to Barnes and Nobles. So I'm having lunch with paper Menu today and he's telling me about this club in Bay Ridge. I don't know if you remember. It's scary. It was called one oh one. That was the name of the club. It was one hundred first Tree. It was called one on one. By the way, do you have way too much free time on your hands? Can I tell that? I'm just saying I was having lunch with paper Menu, were having a conversation. Listen, I'm bringing content, right, I said. He says to me, goes everybody called one oh one one on ones? He said, oh, you go to one on ones? He said, in fact, I bumped into some girl. I was wearing a Brooklyn T shirt and she stopped me at the wherever he was at and she goes, oh, you're from Brooklyn. Yeah? Were you from all? From bay Ridge?

00:25:36
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:25:37
Speaker 2: My god?

00:25:37
Speaker 3: She was.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: I used to hang out in bay Ridge. Where'd you go? Oh? I hung out at the one on ones? And he says, oh, you mean one on one? She goes, what huh? No clue. So I'm wondering slices. Where in your life do you go to a place that you pronounced the name wrong and you don't care, like you're like, fuck it, that's how I say it. Like people will say Reese's pieces, you don't catch Reese's right. So no, what place did you grow up with where you're like, I said it wrong as a kid. Fuck it, I'm still saying it wrong now. The talk about drop us a talk back on that? Okay, well you will you do that. I'm gonna send you a link right now, Brody, And this is gonna a sausage link is gonna piss you the hell off. I wish you was a sausage. Actually, I prefer the skinny spiral sausage to sausage links. I don't like the fat stuff like any spiral. I've never seen a spiral sausage. What are you talking about, like a spiral you know? Yeah, the skinny sausage it's in a spiral and you throw it on the barbecue. I've never seen that. I've seen patties and links. You're talking about a sausage that just happens to be in a in a circle. It's like very thin and it's like a rope. It's like a rope sausage, but it's it's it's swirled like a like a snake. You've never seen us? What hold on? What snake goes? I'm like I'm making with my fingers and it's like a circle. It starts, you know, it starts. You never saw this, the thin rope sausage. We're talking about regular sausage and Tian sausage that they put in a circle, in a spiral. Yes, but that's not a spy. I'm talking about like you're talking about like I'm talking about very different than fat, than the fat sausage links. I'm talking about breakfast sausage, about Jimmy Dean, Yeah, sausage link. Nobody calls Italian sausages, sausage link, sausage link, links and patties, Links and patties links and Patty is my favorite morning show, by the way, favorite morning show they were of Tennessee. Links and Patties in the morning. By the way, Patty's on maternity leave. I think, yeah, okay, all right, I'm sending you this link. Send me the link, okay, I want it's gonna make you angry, all right, Well, I think we might do something hard. I'm gonna send you a link now, don't know. Let's talk about something else and we'll take a break, and then we're gonna discuss this link. In fact, I'm gonna save the send button until I want to. I want you to see this in real time, because you're gonna fucking go off, all right when you see this A right about something else? Real quick? Yeah, something real quick. Then we're gonna take a break, but go ahead. So I went for lunch with paper menu. I went for pizza twice this week. I went for pizza earlier in the week by myself and to get you know, get a slice of pizza. And then today he's like, oh, let's go for pizza. I'm like, and I want to say to him, hadizza couple of days ago, but I was like, fuck, I we'll go for pizza. When I went for pizza myself the other day. I'm trying. I'm trying to cut back on the bad food again because I found leading into the summer, I gained four pounds and I want to lose the four pounds. Right, So I have a problem and a lot of slices. You'll be able to relate. I sometimes get two slices because I like to, like, in my mind, I always eat two slices. But I found if I cut the pizza in half and I eat half and half, I feel mentally like I'm eating two slices. That makes sense. Yes, it's it's it's a mind fuck, but you're psyching yourself out. But yeah, no that makes sense. And wait, hey, whatever works for you. I like that. That's a great strategy. Yeah, thank you. So I go to get the slice of pizza and I say to the guy behind the counter, I say, hey, can you cut that slice in half for me and then put it in the bag. He says, uh, yeah, which way do you want me to cut it in half? Huh?

00:29:11
Speaker 3: What?

00:29:13
Speaker 2: Hald On? Listen I know physically you can cut it more than one way, right, but there's only one way that makes sense, bro, where you can get a little bit of the crust and a little bit of the tip, and that is straight down the middle. Cut it straight down the middle. So I go, do you think I want you to cut it with the tip on one half and the crust on the other? Watch on the check? I go, Has anyone ever asked you to cut it that way? No? Right? Why would I would anyone? Why would any Look if your share, if you're sharing the pizza with like a three year old and they don't like the crust. Maybe, but I mean, I'm gonna I know if you could, just if you could just turn it perpendicular and just cut it where you could slide the cheese and the sauce off, and I'll take that and you can have the crust. Yeah, you can cut it top and bottom, top to bottom, a bottom, Jesus, cut it halfway like I got like a Hamburger button. You're cutting it as like you're cutting Italian bread. But I think that's absurd, absurd. If I if I wanted it a stupid way, wouldn't I have said, Hey, I know this is gonna sound weird, but could you cut it, you know, with wise rather than length wise. If you don't say which way you want to cut, it seems obvious to me anyway. So anyway, paper Menu, So we go for pizza today and we go to a kind of place where you go to the counter, you pick up your slices in the glass case. And he gets a big chicken slice. It's it's huge because they didn't cut the pizza right whatever. He got a nice slice. I got to I got a slice. He got two slices, and uh. The girl behind the counter says to him, here you go. When the pizza comes up, she puts on top of the counter and shees, do you need a fork a knife with that? Yeah? Oh god. Now, my friend, Paper Menu is from our neighborhood in Brooklyn. She says, what what? Just do you need a knife for fork? He goes, are you are you insulting me? But where do you think I'm from? Yeah? Yeah, she goes, I don't know. He goes, look, I'm from Brooklyn. But even if I was from Jersey, a knife and fork with my pizza, that is I had to ask. He goes, no, you didn't have to ask you, You did not have to ask. Yeah, who who's cutting that pizza with a knife and fork? D That's just wrong, that's wrong. So I'm thank you Paper Menu for being a boy from the from the hood. He was like, that's just offensive. That's It's like the episode of Seinfeld when George was eating his Snickers with Snickers bar with a knife and fork. Yeah, with a knife and fork. It's just wrong, just wrong. All right, we'll be right back. Yeah, after this, I'm gonna send Brody a link and then Brody's gonna he's gonna be able to fry an egg on top of this guy's head. You watch It's The Boys Podcast. All right, we're back. What were you doing during the commercial break? I just had to reach for my five gum So you want if you were here, I'd give you a piece. Scary, yeah, scary Hold sight, No, no, what I got? I listened?

Hold on, hit that dragon, hit that dragon. I don't know what's talk about? Okay, hit the jingle. I haven't explained something like a cow. No, you don't. You don't chew gum. Normally this during a podcast, you chew gum, but not during a podcast exactly. But I need it a little pick me up today, because first of all, it's this. It's this spearmint flavor. It's so good.

We sit here for an hour doing this podcast. I need something to like get me through the rest of the podcast. So here we are my entertainment value, How about my my personality? No, you're super entertaining, but I don't be entertaining right now. Hit the fucking jingle. I haven't heard this before. That's right, both of them, both of them. Five goat If this is pick it up wherever you get you stop it, pick it up it, stop it. What do you mean stop it? Stop it?

00:33:28
Speaker 3: What?

00:33:29
Speaker 2: This is our podcast, I know, not your promotional vehicle. Okay, I'm just letting you know five coming jump on your own time. Don't retell near you. Thank you very much, gentlemen. That it's all been recorded, Thank you so much. All right, I could stop that now. Thank you? You recorded that? Am I part of the recording? Yes, I like the blue packages, the blue ones, any of those you know what you know what's scary episodes ago. But before you do that, let me explain. I set up a hidden video camera. I recorded me and Brody together, the Brody and I on his screen. Brody couldn't see me videotaping it, brought in me, brought to me, and I did a commercial for five gum into the camera and Brody's flipping out. And that'll be on my social media a little later. Okay, but but I cursed. That's okay, we'll figure it out. I'm wearing glasses on my head. I don't think I like that idea. It's all right. You know what else Scary did a couple of weeks ago. We're doing the podcast. He was, oh, there's an Norwegian cruise ship going by my window up the harbor, down the harbor. I said, oh, you should take a picture of it because they're a sponsor of the morning show, not of this podcast, but they should be because I'm still a big fan. And he goes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So he films it, and he films the screen, this computer screen that we're recording on. But he must have clicked off of our podcast because when he showed the video, there's something else on his screen except so I'm cut out. And then he shows his he shows his home studio, and he shows the cruise ship. But he could have tagged me and promoted our podcast, but he did not, because he's a selfish son of a bitch. No, I'm not. Did you tag the Brooklyn Boys? You could have said, hey, while recording the Brooklyn Boys pop, I'll tell you what I'm gonna I'm gonna tag him when I post for five gum a little later on on my social you tell he take the Brooklyn Boys, I'll tag David Brody and I'll tag the Brooklyn Boys. All right. Now that being said, yeah, I got this link, you said, don't click it yet, all right, so names will have to be changed to protect the innocent. I got invited, I got invited to it. I got names when I click it is I got invited to a baby shower. Okay, I can't go, But are you gonna be with Ryan Seacrest that day? Yeah? First, but my question for you is, first of all, if you don't go to a baby shower or a wedding, or a Sweet sixteen or a bar mitz or any party a do you do you owe a gift? So this is part one of this. Is it a debate? I don't know if it's a debate. What's the proper etiquette? Most people have told me that if you'd decline like a wedding invitation, you should send a gift. Say, hey, I couldn't make it, but I'm sending a gift anyway. They say that that is the proper thing to do. Yeah, I've done both. It depends on who the people are. Well, I've done where I didn't send a gift and I felt bad about it. But you can go on, like, if you have a registry, you can pick out like a twenty five dollars thing, a thirty dollar thing, And that's what I usually Nick Knack Patty watch. This couple decided we're gonna put a baby registry out there, and we're gonna well, oh, let me just clarify. I'm not judging. They're not married. They're putting out a baby registry. Well they are not are married now they're married. Oh, so it's not a wedding registry. No, this is a baby registry. Because having a baby, I can't make it to the baby shower. I couldn't make it too. Okay, there's a there's a celebration of the baby. So now that when they told you they were having a baby, did you yell no? No, no, Because this is a hot young couple with no children yet and they just got married. So of course do I know them? Yes, Well you know the guy. Okay, I think I think you do. But anyway, well the guy knows you. Let me, can I click the link? Big fan? Click the link. Now he's a big fan of mine. Well, I don't blame him. I'm right down baby registry. Hold on, let's here we go. Why don't we go through the baby registry and see some of the things. What I'm saying I could purchase for this couple that I see it's a lovely picture of them, not the baby because the baby's not born yet. Yeah. Uh Amazon gift cards, Okay, you'll see some familiar items like remember that, what the fuck the Tiffany plate that I was gonna get, or I got your your baby, one of your kids, the baby, the silver spoon. You this a lot that that would be uh big going on the cheap for this baby registry? Oh my god? Okay, oh I know who this is? How about the Happiness how about the Happy band on? What how you? Oh my god? Maybe for piggy, the piggy bank, Maybe for kater bank. Oh no, don't jump ahead, let me Oh my god, the piggy bank is five hundred dollars for a fucking ceramic pig. How about for eight hundred and thirty dollars the Happy Bear, fork and spoon baby set? Oh my god, there's a picture frames. It's a triple picture frame. Yeah, it's little little frames. I three, like three in a row connected, you know what a hinge in the middle. Uh huh slices. How much do you think I would get upset? About one hundred dollars one hundred and fifty dollars for three little picture frames. How much seven hundred and thirty dollars. Shit, this is the buster and bunch of baby registries. Oh how about we buy the Ava Regency four in one convertible crib for one ninety nine dollars. Come on, bro, you and I can go Handsi's on it. What do you think? Oh my god? Yeah, Cashmere baby hoodies. I bought that. No you did not, No, not that one. I bought the sheepskin thing for the kid. What a condom? It's like one hundred dollars anyway? No, but but how about how about the jacket jack? Oh? Oh, you can buy a monthly night out babysitter. I've never heard. Oh my god, a tiny Tiffany baby bird cup nine hundred and twenty dollars. Yeah, for a fucking cup for a baby? Holy shit? Hold on, did you see the Night?

00:39:48
Speaker 1: The Night?

00:39:48
Speaker 2: Hey, a lactation consultant. You could buy a lactation consult How about a nine hundred dollars Montclaire jacket for the kid who's probably gonna broken spin up on it, Oh, throw up all over it and then maybe grow out of it in two months. Oh my god, you aren't kidding the stroller of seventeen hundred dollars. All right, well, it's a stroller. You want to get a good one. I get it. I mean, there's so much here that we can buy for this family. What the fuck is this? And I don't know how this relates. How about a Fuji film digital camera for two four hundred dollars? Is the Oh, come on, you take picture of your phone? A stuffed animal for three hundred dollars? Yeah, yeah this. I like this guy and his business is excellent. Yes, you know, yes, yes, like I listen. I like that. I like that whole family very much. They're amazing people. Oh and listen. If I had money, I listen. I bought something for like one hundred and twenty five dollars and I called it a day. But my god, the registry on here is it's they must know some rich people like you, bougie people. Yeah, did you? How about you want to get the Ivory Cashmere baby set? No, yeah, there's a lot of great stuff in here. Anyway, I thought maybe I would pass the link. One hundred and five dollars for gourmet baby wipes. Yeah, one hundred dollars to wipe the kid's ass. With wipes. Yeah, Or how about the Elsa Parretti open heart fork and knife spoon set Elsa Parretti very famous. Uh, I don't know what that means. It's jeweler. Yeah, so yeah, there's all kinds of things, or the tiny Tiffany large Teddy Bear in blue in Tiffany blue, so many great things. They're they're brody. So anyway, five hundred dollars high chair, yeah, all right, there's a lot lot going on. I can't. I can't. Seven hundred and thirty dollars with picture frames. Yeah, all make the pictures better. I don't what, all right, I know, I knew you were going to have an I'm living the wrong life. I did the best I could for my kids, but they never had seven hundred and thirty dollar picture frames. I don't think my mom and dad even had a baby registry for me at the time. They'd me just like I just show up and bring some cash whatever, Yeah, bring some sauce. Right, But yeah, this is a hell of a a hell of the list and it's lengthy. So that means they had to go through this site and they had to spend a couple of hours I guess going through the things that they wanted unless they just clicked everything, because there's some things on here that are just this is a down nester Monkler Montclair, Montclair Moncler. Anyone who knows knows. It's like, well, I don't know, Boogie or Canada Goose. They make crazy ski jackets for like three thousand dollars in Neiman Marcus. So if you want a baby version of that, oh it's cheap. It's only nine hundred and thirty dollars. Yeah, all right, I got, okay, the Tiffany baby bird cup. I gotta draw the line there. I mean, nine twenty dollars the kids get for a cab.

00:43:07
Speaker 3: My d.

00:43:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I can't, so I guess the words. I don't have the words. A bougie baby registry. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I mean, I've seen a Bugi wedding, wedding, you know, shower gifts. I feel like I'm paying too much for the product of this person's business, because no, they're not buying this stuff. But if this is what I mean, you didn't get my kids a tiny Tiffany baby bird cup for nine hundred and twenty dollars. No, I did not. You got her a glass plate and a fork. I mean that cost me some money, but it wasn't nine hundred dollars anyway. Yeah, so you could have taken that money that you could have given me the money, but that Tiffany plate, I could have invested it in their college fund. I mean this, Listen, this wife stepped in it. She good for her. Yeah, now listen, they look they might know. Look, you know what though, they know a lot of celebrities. Maybe this is like celebrity stuff, right, Maybe they's celebrity friends, like they're real celebrities, not us, like real celebrity friends. Maybe like the rich people that that well to this person's business. That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking they're just they're aiming for the fences because they do have people in their circle that that support their business that will like Taylor Swift would probably buy them the Tiffany cup. Yeah. And guess what, right, Taylor Swift has definitely interacted with them before. Yes, I know that. That's why I mentioned yeah, no, no, no, who no, no, but no, I thought I wanted it to be very clear to the Slices that Berne wasn't making a joke there, he's being real. I'm well aware of who our mutual friend their business brings in celebrities. Yes, I'm aware. Yes, so there, and you and I should go there together because I'd enjoy going back there. Oh that that's a phone. It's only one call away, Charlie Pooth. Charlie, you have to actually want to go. Well, do I get a prize for this when you do two songs from the same artist in one podcast episode? That's very good? Yeah?

00:45:05
Speaker 4: Uh?

00:45:05
Speaker 2: Also, you need to take me to a Mets game? When don't we go? I don't care well when they stop sucking because honestly, honestly, I couldn't be more disinterested in this fucking team. And David Start needs to go, he needs to go. Yes, he does sports. No sports, no sports talk. You're in a no sports zone because we blew out quota at the top of this podcast by talking about soccer. Okay, but next podcast we'll talk about the fucking Mets and how I don't maybe I'm so disgusting them all right? Anyway, all right, so, uh, speaking of being disgusted scary, how would you feel about this false advertising? I went with my cousin were at the Bridgewater Mall. Beautiful mall in north central Jersey. You've been there, scary of course, Bridgewater Commons yea, Bridgewards and Commons Mall. A lot of good restaurants. Excellent. So, uh, by the way, I told you about Uncle who goes right, we talk about Uncle Julio's on this podcast. If you know, I don't think we did. I thought I did. We'll bring it up some other time. Anyway, my cousin says to me, hey, let's go into that jewelry store because I need to get some earrings. Here's a picture. Scary. Can you see that? You see the red sign above that, that huge column right there. Yeah, okay, So the way this store is set up is each wall is vertical sectionals, So like three foot wide wall of stuff in a little space, another three foot wall wide about six feet high. Some of the stuff was higher than most women could reach. I'm assuming from all the women in the store, there's no way they're reaching that. Okay. On the top above all of the jewelry, it says big huge sign red big and huge YEP clearance and then it's small little fighters asterisk select styles. Now, if you look at that picture. It's six by three rough. There's probably one hundred face outs all with jewelry on them, meaning there's like maybe five hundred little cardboard tags holding jewelry on this wall of jewelry. So my cousin's looking in all the backs of them. They're like twelve dollars, fourteen dollars. So I call the sales girl over and I say, excuse me, which ones are on clearance? It says select styles. But this whole section on the top of this one section it says clearance, right because and again it's sectioned, so the sign is part of this section of jewelry. There's no markings on here. So are the clearance prices the ones that are on the back or is clearance reduced from the price on the back? Sure? So she says, oh, only ones on sale are the ones with red stickers on the front that says how much the price is. So I look on the fronts of all of them. I rememver at stickers. I go maybe maybe behind them, you know, because like eight ten of them on each spindle. I look, not one of them has a red sticker. So I say to the girl, none of them have clearance stickers. So she says, oh, so, I said, does that mean none of them are on clearance? She says, I guess not. Huh. I said, the whole section says clearance, right, and it says select styles only. Are you telling me none of the ones on the wall here? The hundreds that are here are select styles? Now I go, then why is the clearance sign over all of these? I don't know? I go, but you work here? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. She does, same thing on the other side. See that sign of it, A says clearance. Nothing is on clearance underneath that sign? Oh what Now? Remember that bullshit at Nordstrom rack where they're like, well, maybe somebody moved the shirt to the sales section. Yes, I said, so, are you implying it somebody moved five hundred earrings over here? No? Then I don't understand what's on sale. Then she goes, you bring the other side of the store scary. There is a little area, a little area like three by three. Do you remember the movie with the jerk. Yes, so there's a Steve Martin. Yeah, he's at a carnival and he's I think he had to guess your weight and he goes, I have to guess your weight. If I don't guess your weight, you win anything on this wall, anything on this wall from this shelf to this year, anything on this wall between this ship this, anything on the wall between. And by the time he finishes, it's like three things like little pencil erasers, because anything in this little area, not the whole wall. That's the way the store is. So I want to give a special shout out to my new favorite store, Lovisa, l ov I s A and the Bridgewater Commons Mall for false bullshit advertising. The sign in the window says the clearance party is going on now, so like, let's go in and celebrate the party. The party is there's no party, scary party. There's a little fucking section of a wall where one nerd is sitting in the party and he's hanging out with five pairs of earrings that are on sale. Fuck you and your false advertising. The whole wall clearance. And I'm gonna put that up on my Instagram so you can see the picture. None of it. What we should call them out. We should call them out on it, like like call them call the let's call the store. Do you want to do that. I don't know. If I do, I'll text you the phone. What do we want to know? I don't know. It could be a little messy. We'll see. Well, we don't need permission to put up on podcast. We can just say, yeah, that was in your My daughter was in your store and she went to the clearance section and none of it's on clearance. Can you explain that you can do that. I'll text you the phone number right now. I'll do that right now. I'll do that ship right now. But oh no, wait, we might have that problem with the with the phone line. I never got shit. We could do it on the next episode. How about that you're gonna have it fixed by that and you sure or or this is just an empty promise. Okay, okay, great space co We'll be right back. Okay in the meantime, is that okay? All right? Space? Hot time, Space Pat. Are you following the yellow brick road?

00:51:08
Speaker 3: No?

00:51:08
Speaker 2: What's been have you been?

00:51:09
Speaker 4: Have you?

00:51:10
Speaker 2: Are you following like the latest trends in the latest things out there in the fast food world and in the uh you know, dessert world. You know places like I do I try? Yeah, did you see what Coldstone Creamery has ice cream. They have an Oreo Reese's cookies and peanut butter ice cream taco that they're offering now. And I don't know. I'm thinking if you google it, Brody, see if you can find it online to like buy like. I think that maybe. I don't know if they're marketing him that as boxed individuals where you can actually order it, or is it just in store only. I don't know. I saw somebody with it and I am obsessed because first of all, it would have to you have to the collab involved in that is cold Stone, Oreo, which is owned by Mando Leze, and Reese which is owned by the Hershey's company, Right, So you got to have three three collabs coming together at the same time. I mean a lot, a lot of board meetings had to go on, I think to get that in mind. They have the rights to both products to put on their food, so they can do whatever they want. I think, Yeah, but this, this, I think tops the Choco Taco. It says we brought it back for Sinco, but Chaco Tuesday and Cinco to Mayo available for limited time only. Are you sure it's still available? I don't know if I don't know if Limited Time covers the summer, but I gotta be honest if it's. If it's not, I'm kind of fucked until next year. It's it's a beautiful work of art. I want one of these things anyway, just that I would do. I like to look look at the doctor to check that out. It doesn't say if it's still available, but it was it. You can get sprinkles on those. Not Jimmy's not. Jimmy's not here. You can't. Okay, all right, but I digress. I want to play a piece of audio. This came up in my feed on Instagram, but it's from uh, it's from a TikTok account. This girl works at Pizza Hut, speaking of fast food chains, and her whole account is posting videos wearing her pizza hat uniform, Pizza Hut uniform, which I think is like how long before you get fired? She's doing dance videos at work in the stock room. So here's a video. Now, I you'd have to be a nitwi not to have an answer for this question. But she's doing her job, she's working, and she had a question. She thinks it's the greatest question, like who in the world would ever do this? And again she's wearing the pizza Hut and in one of videos in the in the description she says, pizza Hut sucks, but I need the money. Oh my god? Works there? Yeah, And she uses her real name as her account name. Are you sure that this is she's a quick question.

00:54:13
Speaker 4: Who the fuck orders five pizzas at ten in the morning?

00:54:19
Speaker 2: What? Who the fuck orders.

00:54:22
Speaker 5: Five pizzas at ten in the morning?

00:54:25
Speaker 2: Five? The fuck do you guys eat? Is a quick question? Okay, okay. By the way, you know this girl cannot be employed anymore by them. There's no way. There's no way. She was probably fired a long time ago or quit. And she puts on the p it's a new video, new video. I don't get it. And she's in there. You can see she's at work. Unless what if she stockpiled these videos over time and didn't release them and then waited to quit and now and now she's putting them out there as if she still works there. There's no way in hell that a corporation is going to allow her to first of all, talk like that while representing the brand. Secondly, the mean customers in salt customers, there's all kinds of wrong with that. Something's not right there. Don't you agree me? Yes? But the comments section one goes like, girl, just put the pizza in the box and shut up. People are like, wow, how long have you been fired yet? Weal Pizza Hunt sees this. People are tagging Pizza Hut like all of her videos. He's at work doing dances And what does Pizza Hut pay you to do at ten am? You're at work make the pizza. Here's a thought. Someone wanted five pizzas for lunch, so they ordered pizza to be considerate for you, and they audered it early before the lunchtime rush. Maybe they worked the third shift. Ten am is the middle of the day when you and I work together in the morning show. We had fucking pizza eight am. Yeah, we got a Chinese food from China, even barbecue at seven fifteen in the morning, right, Yeah, it's it's a little out of control. I think that's a rage bait video. No, no, and if that Ai, because I've been tricked by AI more than times than I can scary. It's it's a young girl who works at Pizza Hut. Her whole accounting. I can't believe it. I can't. There's no way, there's no way. This woman is employed currently by Pizza Hut, No way. But how many how many views are on these on these videos that you're seeing this girl, This girl is doing it. She's doing a dance video and it says Pizza Hut not even good for real. Wow, she's shitting all over the product. Yes, she works there and she works stick on it, and she thinks her big her big get is who orders pizza at five am? Because she can't wrap her head around her world is that she and her friends wouldn't do it, so she can't comprehend it. I can't comprehend it. Who whatever order five pizza at ten am? It's outrageous. So yeah, wearing her Pizza Art uniform while she's in the kitchen at Pizza Art, she's like, you know what I'm gonna do before I make those pizzas, I'm gonna run and film a TikTok video. Yeah that's from my eight thousand followers. Yeah, so yeah, I'm like, I'm not promoting her, but that's it, okay. And then I wanted to play well, since I have the audio cable plugged in, I want to play a clip for you of a guy running for office. This is real. You know how a lot of politicians get involved in sex scandals. They're always like always just one's banging his secretary or harassment. Right, this guy wants you to know, and I'll tell you who he is in a minute. On pause the video, Hold on, hold on, Yep, he's running in California. He's running for some kind of political office in California, and he wants you to know why you should vote for him. Okay, yeah, here we go.

00:58:04
Speaker 1: I don't experience sexual attraction. I'm one hundred percent non sexual. I'm one hundred percent a sexual. My name is Mark Hardy. I'm a candidate for California Secretary of State in the twenty thirty election. Vote for Mark Hardy for California Secretary of State in twenty thirty. I don't experience sexual attraction.

00:58:32
Speaker 2: Okay, I will be the first.

00:58:34
Speaker 1: But as sexual person.

00:58:36
Speaker 2: Okay, that's crazy. Now, why United State? Why would you vote for someone based on just that? Because he's not gonna get into any scandals. Yeah, I know, but that's his sticking point. I like that as a stick, but that's gonna wear it out. It's welcome really quickly. Don't you think I would think, I mean, okay, so what do you stand for? We know what you don't say for. But right, that's part of the problem, you know, he's playing off of trying to win because he's gonna be better than the other candidate behaviorally. Yes, which so that's his that's his sales pitch. All right. This is a girl. I want to play a clip from her, hold On, hold On. Her name is Skyler. I on a press Okay, Skyler s c h u y l e r I O n A p r e s S. Skyler is maybe eighteen years old. She's I found her on Instagram. She's on TikTok. She's a brilliant theater kid. She writes unbelievable clever songs that she sits and she films herself playing a keyboard and they rhyme beautifully. They're clever. She does a one woman show in Manhattan. I think we should ever on the show have to do a jingle about our show. But some of them are political. Well, some of them are just funny about the world and current events. She's absolutely brilliant, and a lot of celebrities follow her, but she posted a video this week that I want to play a decent part of because you and I talk about this all the time. Okay, yeah, here we go.

01:00:14
Speaker 6: I go into a coffee shop to buy a bottled water because it's a million degrees outside and I forgot to bring a water. So now I'm at the coffee shop paying for my water, when suddenly a screen pops up asking for a tip. Excuse me, but I only bought a plastic bottled water. I got it from the fridge myself, the one right by the door. Then I brought it to the counter, this plastic bottled.

01:00:34
Speaker 4: Water, which is already five dollars, and you want me to pay you more ten twenty twenty five percent. And I look at the barista and I think about my rent. But I know how it feels to be standing all.

01:00:50

I have one other big thing, but I don't know if it's if it's gonna it's not your dick, everybody, unless you have something else, something small, like you're a dick, a douche bag. Let me see what I have that because well, we can get into this one other thing that may cause a little bit of a controversy. I don't know, maybe not. I said something on the Big Show and I was quickly, uh, how to put my foot in my mouth and try and backpedal. I might as well just go for it right here, because you're searching through your phone. So I got something remind me of add on friends and coming to dinner. Just well, I guess who's coming to dinner you go to. You think that people are stupid judged for for their their work, their jobs. No, well bye, by the way they dressed, by by maybe the fact that they may have tattoos or piercings and stuff. Or you think that prevents people from getting jobs. Yes, okay, good. I wish I needed you in there as my lawyer when the whole morning show came down on me. You know, there's a whole thing. Don't judge a book by its cover, because you never know, you know who you're meeting. But I came out and I said that I'm sometimes me personally when I see someone covered in like let's say they have like neck tattoos, or or they have piercings in weird places and maybe they you know, they carry a vape pen or something. I judge them, and I'm like, this person made poor decisions somewhere in their life because they may not be able to get They didn't think it through that eventually they may be up for a job, and that they be judged. Well, the ship storm started and people came out all over the came out from all over the place screaming at me, saying that, oh scary, you know, here he goes again, insert foot in mouth. But I really feel that there's some truth to it. Now. The conversation was do you get judged? And I said, yeah, I do believe you're being judged. I believe if you walk into a job and you walk into I'm not saying it's right or wrong. That's the difference. It's to write a wrong thing. I'm not trying to say, oh, how dare you have tattoos? How dare you you know? How dare you fucking have you know, a piercings and shit? I'm saying the fact remains that you are being judged. Forget, don't shoot the messenger. So if you show for a job interview with a face tattoo, trying like post malone style, like a white collar job, there's a very good chance you're not getting that fucking job. I don't care what anybody says. Okay, So so to respond to that, first of all, I agree with you that there are people who judge you on your appearance. Now, as someone who used to do the internship program and has been in charge of hiring in most of the jobs I've had. I've had conversations with people who have a lot of tattoos, right, and I'll ask them, I go, oh, you have a tattoo. They go, yeah, I've got forty. I go forty. Like where do you think? Goes oh, yeah, my back all that, and I said, do you have I've asked them, I go, do you have a worry that Sometimes on job interviews or in certain professions, you go, you know what, you know what they say, I don't want to work in a place that judges me for my tattoos. Okay, now you've literally the jobs that you can have. Okay. But here's the thing. Most people who get tattoos, and I can't speak for them personally, I don't have any, but most people who get tattoos don't give a fuck what anyone thinks. They get them because they want them, They get them because they mean something to them, and their first instinct is listen. I've always said to my kids, to people anyone who listen, Like when we had interns right at the internship program. I find it unusual to make permanent decisions for the rest of your life at seventeen, eighteen, nineteen years old, right, because thirty years later you may regret that. But eighteen year olds aren't thinking about their life at forty eight. They're thinking about today, I want that tattoo. I don't care. Yeah, right, and you have to live with that when you're for the rest of your life. You everything else in life. You buy a car, you sell the car. Now, yeah, you can get them removed, but for the most part, they're permanent. Right. Most people don't give a shit. They don't think if I get this tattoo, what if I can't be a doctor, right, or whatever, I can't get a job. I'll give you an example that I don't understand in terms of tattoos. If you're an actor or an actress and your job is to blend into the character, okay, I feel If you're a model, you're a supermodel, right, you're in bikinis all the time. You should not have permanent things that take away from the bathing suit you're wearing or the role you're playing. I'll give you an example. Alan Richson is one of my favorite new actors. He plays Reacher. He's a giant, muscular unbelievably good looking guy, unbelievable and as he's ripped, he shredded like he's a statue. I wish I looked like him. If I look like him, the last thing I would do is put a tattoo on that body, because it's fucking perfect. I wouldn't do anything to distract from the look he has worked hard to get David Birdie with the moment. Nah, enough camp kidding. And as an actor, a lot of actors will talk about how, yeah, I spent an hour in the chair. They have to cover up my tattoos, or they have to digitally take up my tattoos. Look, if you're a Scarlet Johansson, you're a big enough actress that if Marvel wants to put you in his Black Widow, they will digitally remove your tattoos. Yes, But if you're Mary Smith and you walk in for a role, they don't want a scorpion tattoo on your neck. So now that's industries, by the way, like the industry where and you know, the recording industry on air, like doing radio. TV broke a lot of that. Yeah, the more tattoos and piercing is the cooler you are. But I'm just letting you know that you're limb. You're probably limited in your job, in what you what you can do, and you're definitely being judged. Whether that's right or wrong, You're being being judged. And that's all I was saying. But people missing strew what I said and a douche. Do you remember Machine Gun Kelly? Right? Of course? MGK. So machine Gun Kelly, he's a rock big fan of the Morning Show is yeah. He his body is covered in tattoos. He had to play Tommy Lee in the Motley Crue movie. In order to do that, they spent hours covering all of his body tattoos and then putting on all of Tommy Lee's tattoos on top of the makeup to cover up his existing tattoos. Now, Machine Gun Kelly's a rock star, he's a rap star. He's he doesn't have to normally. Who would have thought he would have done movies, but Alan Richson every time he wants to be in a movie. Now he was on seth Myers this week. He's got a neck tattoo. Now yeah, like, maybe now you do it. You're an actor, dude, Maybe not put a tattoo in a place where you could it re read it in the future. That's all, you know, whatever you know. I think tattoos are hot. I love piercings, tattoos. Yeah, I know my brother. My brother's got a sleeve and he's got all. You know. But again, you don't judge. I don't know, no judgments none. Look, I would I would say to you, scary. You and I are from an era where there was more judging, and I think there's less judging now now. Well, that's what people were saying on Tech Day with they were saying, Okay, Boomer, scary showing his age. He's act like an old old example. There are numerous commercials that are on usually the news channels, women's deorderant commercials, women's braw commercials, and a lot of the women in those commercials have tattoos. That is, that is a thing that never would have happened twenty years ago. Well, they're allowing it to pass, They're letting it go. They're letting which is fine except for me because of where what when when we're from I focus on the tattoo on her arm, not the product, because I'm like it draws my attention away, which is the whole point of like you're selling the bikini bra or whatever, the deorderant whatever, I shouldn't be drawn to the tattoo. Now, the women who watch this commercial may not even notice the tattoo because they're looking at the bra going oh, how does it fit? Yeah, oh that de ordor it looks like it goes unclear. They may not even know, or they might go, oh, look at the cold chick with the tattoo, Like I have a tattoo. So I don't think you and I are a good judge. But I understand this still because there are people our age who do higher. But I would imagine the tattooed people and slices. You can you can respond and leave us some message if you have tattoos, are you concerned you wear long sleeve shirts to interviews or you don't give a fuck?

01:17:31
Speaker 3: Right?

01:17:31
Speaker 2: Let us know? And do you think that you've been discriminated against because you've had a tattoo or a piercing in a place. Now, we want to work in a place that might discriminate against you. You know, some people say fuck it right, they don't want me. I don't want to be there. Yeah, I mean, brody, would you feel comfortable with a surgeon that needed to do a necessary operation on you with a septum piercing Yes. Yes, But I made this comment on the Morning show like ten years ago, and I said, if my doctor came out of the like into the like I walked in the office and the doctor had crazy face tattoos, it might throw me. But he did go to medical school, so it all it All this does is support my argument that you're being judged. Whether you like it or not, I mean, you don't like it, depends on the audience. I might judge for a second or might throw me again. Throwing me doesn't mean I wouldn't go to him as a doctor for well reviewed. But there are people who would go to that doctor who have tattoos. I'm like, dude, this guy's awesome. Now. This was said in the context of getting a job, getting getting to work on Wall Street, a white collar job. It depends on who the boss is. If the boss has tattoos, you know, if if the boss is part of the culture of not giving a shit. I think it's I think if you have tattoos, you probably don't care what people think. Will you make Will you make it? Will you make it to ceo with tattoos and piercings. Today you would, Yeah, I would think half of the fortune five hundred companies have CEOs that have tattoos, these visible ones. Yes, because it's a different, different world. All the startups, the guys who created chet, GPT and all those guys, they probably all have you know whatever. It's not saying, dude, it's not like Steve Jobs from Apple. You're like, oh, Steve Jobs. Never. I don't think these speaking of Apple do have time for one last thing much time one last thing. There was a sign that my friend Scott Scott loves this podcast by the way, what's up, Scott? Uh? He posted a picture and I looked it up to make sure it was legitimate because I didn't know this story. It was a sign from the London underground. It said quote of the day. Now I'm gonna tell you this. Your mine's gonna be blown because you probably didn't even know the story. But it's true. I looked it up. You know, the two guys that started Apple that were rich, Steve Jobs and Steve Walls. In the act he owned he owned the Blazers and football teams. Whatever it says. If anyone is having a bad day. Remember that in nineteen seventy six, Ronald Wayne sold his ten percent steak in Apple eight hundred dollars. Now, Ronald Wayne worked at Atari with the two Steves. They started the company, but they didn't make it an LLC. And if you start a company and it's not incorporated, if you go into debt or your company loses money, you could lose your house and your car, like whatever own you own, the bank takes. That's why you need an LLC. Yes, And of the three of them, he was the only one that had a house and a car and property. Like He's like, I can't risk this and if this company goes under, we could be fucked. So I'm out. So he said, he give me eight hundred dollars because that's what we all put in money. Scary. Do you know what his share in Apple would be worth today if he hadn't sold his ten percent? How much fifty eight billion dollars? Okay, And that's time you make a bad decision. Yeah, remember good old Ronald Wayne. Ronald Wayne who sold his ten percent share in Apple. And again, I don't know how old this sign is. He can be worth it could have been worth a hundred million now, but at one point when this sign was put up, his eight hundred dollars would now be worth And again, you don't know if the company would have gone the exact same route whatever. Uh ten, But yeah, fight sold ten percent of Apple for eight hundred dollars and he has no regrets. I would have regrets. Yeah, same, Wow, all right, we'll see you next week, folks. Boys, boys,
