00:00:15
Speaker 2: Up, Episode two seventy four. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast.

00:00:19
Speaker 1: Hi.

00:00:20
Speaker 3: Hello, yeah, man, we should have some extra listeners.

00:00:24
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have first time listeners listening to this episode.

00:00:27
Speaker 3: There, David Brody, Why is that Skary Jones?

00:00:30
Speaker 2: Because we were clearly promoted front and center on Elvis Durant Morning show this morning, the nationally syndicated program. You might have heard of it before across eighty radio stations in America. Yeah, we are happened. Well, well, basically, well you were asleep. We tried to get you know, we were gonna try and get you on the phone. But but Elvis was so enamored by one of the episodes he caught of our podcast, the one specific talking about you.

00:01:02
Speaker 3: And your dollar six. Oh glad I can help.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we basically talked about it on the show this morning.

00:01:13
Speaker 3: He wanted, he said, I he just surprised me with it.

00:01:16
Speaker 2: He goes, Hey, Scary, So I heard the Brooklyn Boys one of these episodes of the Brooklyn Boys podcast.

00:01:21
Speaker 3: You guys are talking about it. What is this dollar six?

00:01:23
Speaker 2: And I pretty much told him the story of and in case you're a first time listener and he wondering what's going on. Basically, in a nutshell, Brody went to lunch or dinner, brought a friend to a meal on gift called on. If I could interrupt for a second, Yeah, you're saying this first time listeners based on the fact they heard the morning show this morning and they already heard this story they did. I'm telling my first time listeners that just kind of captured us from somewhere else.

00:01:51
Speaker 3: Well, then they could go back and listen to episode two seventy two.

00:01:54
Speaker 2: Is that the episode or that you were a chief? It was two seventy one and two seventy two. I think it might have been too seventy one, could have been two seventy one. All right, I don't think I'm just saying the story just a recap. You told my story yes, on the air today of the gift cards, right, and that I.

00:02:11
Speaker 3: Hope you did a justice. I took my cousin to lunch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: But but but the basic the moral of the story is everyone in the room thought you were wrong as well.

00:02:22
Speaker 3: They you what a surprise.

00:02:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you weren't there to defend yourself, and I felt bad. See that's that's what I feel bad.

00:02:28
Speaker 3: That's what I was getting it. And I certainly wasn't going to come to your rescue. Right.

00:02:32
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you guys should have told me you were going to do that and then tell me like, hey, Monday morning, get up early. That's why I could have defended myself.

00:02:39
Speaker 3: Well, you know, they feel are very spontaneous on the Elvis Strand Morning Show. Things just happen. No, I get that.

00:02:45
Speaker 2: I just feel like, until you hear my side of the story, the way you tell the story is yours is your opinion ating.

00:02:51
Speaker 3: I gave the facts.

00:02:53
Speaker 2: You give cards like how many times did you say can you believe? And then oh my god, he did and then you're not going to believe that. But no, I think I did the story justice. The facts were the facts. You laid out a gift you laid out some gift cards for to pay for the meal, and then you wanted to tip the waitress, so you said, hey, let's put it on. I charge me a penny, Yeah, charge me at penny. Charge you dollars in the room, right, so everyone in the room's gonna give me a dollar six now because it's no big deal.

00:03:22
Speaker 3: No, but you know all and.

00:03:24
Speaker 2: What about the callers and the text messages. A lot of the people sided not not with you. I mean, I don't even know how to put it nicely. I don't know, because it wasn't there to explain myself, because I can explain it as I did on episode through seventy one of the book. Right, so then go back and listen to that and listen to Birdie's explanation.

00:03:42
Speaker 3: But anyway, I can't.

00:03:43
Speaker 2: I welcome to I had a party at my funeral on the air today that.

00:03:48
Speaker 3: What it was? Dancing on your grave, Bran.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: It sounds like, yeah, hey, guess what my stupid co host did. And it wasn't like that, and you didn't defend me, so obviously you were like, yeah, I did you tell them that most of our listeners, at least more than half of our listeners took my side.

00:04:07
Speaker 3: That is not true. That's a false show.

00:04:10
Speaker 2: That is not true. Ninety eight percent agree to math. I went back and did the math. How do it all illusional? It wasnt in the other direction.

00:04:17
Speaker 3: Not all the people that agree with me called, that's the problem a message.

00:04:20
Speaker 2: Okay, I understand they'll leave talkbacks, all right, Well whatever.

00:04:24
Speaker 3: Anyway, we move on. So yeah, so welcome.

00:04:27
Speaker 2: So you know, if that's the case, then we should really offer our new listeners some things, right, some something.

00:04:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:04:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, we just do the show we always do.

00:04:38
Speaker 2: We've given them two hundred and seventy four episodes if you include episode zero, so there's plenty for them to listen to.

00:04:44
Speaker 3: But welcome aboard.

00:04:44
Speaker 2: Thanks for finding us, and I hope if you are in fact a new listener based on although I have to tell you, based on the conversation it sounds like you guys had this morning, I'm not sure why anyone would tune into this podcast to hear to hear you know that, that's what I've turned into since I left the show. I want to hear more of that. I would hope they would. I think it's funny regardless of what side you take. I don't care if you disagree with me or not I or agree with me, as long as you get enjoyment out of it.

00:05:09
Speaker 3: That's what we're here for. Hey, what are you getting dressed up as for Halloween?

00:05:13
Speaker 5: Uh?

00:05:14
Speaker 2: Someone who doesn't care really, because you used to actually put a lot of effort into your costumes. I remember some of those great costumes.

00:05:21
Speaker 3: No Spirit.

00:05:22
Speaker 2: Halloween sponsored the Morning Show. They gave us free costumes, and you and I dressed up every year, and then you went and did you did a second constume because you like you like Halloween more than I do. Then you would do your extravagant costume with Robin.

00:05:34
Speaker 3: Right where you were.

00:05:35
Speaker 2: You were Reggedy ann or or or the Rick and Morty or whatever you always go over the top of. This year, I'm not feeling it. I gotta say, I'm really upset. Why because it's a Tuesday. I ordered, well that, but I ordered a wacky waving, inflatable arm flailing tube bend which just arrived and I just oh tore it off. Sorry, five minutes before this podcast. And I gotta tell you, like, you're not eight feet tall. Yeah, but it's just it's a onesie. Let's face it. Onesies are not costumes. There, I said it. I'm sorry, but they've got so many costumes out there now that all you gotta do is just.

00:06:18
Speaker 3: Put your feet in parachute material. It's made of pajama material. It's not good. No, no, I'm not saying it's it's a zip up.

00:06:28
Speaker 2: You used to zip it all the way down. It's a body le costume. That's not that any kid can well put it on and go to sleep in it.

00:06:33
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

00:06:35
Speaker 2: I'm embarrassed to show up to any party this weekend. Oh you should be the way but wearing the wacky, waving inflatable arm.

00:06:41
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something.

00:06:42
Speaker 2: The best costume and I'm not saying the best costume in terms of let me see a costume like, oh my god, that guy looks just like the Mandalorian I'm talking about that. I got a funny reaction from me. And I'm not saying it's the greatest costume. But it was the video she filmed, and because she's short, the costume the Gandhi War or two ago, maybe two years ago, where it looked like her she was being carried by an alien and her short little legs were hanging out, but it was obviously her arms on her legs, but it looked like the alien the way it was constructed. Her feet were the feet of the alien, but her body looked right. That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in a Halloween costume, but not because anyone put it on, because she's short and she acted it up beautifully, and that, to me is my favorite at the moment fun Halloween custom of all time. But a wacky, waving, inflatable two man guy costume that's pajama material?

00:07:32
Speaker 3: Did it? Did it? Did you look at the material before you ordered it? That's the thing. You can't really see it online and it doesn't say the paint of one hundred percent polyester or cotton or well, if you want to see me in it.

00:07:44
Speaker 2: I'll be doing an episode of Speaking Volumes podcast with Share, my co host, and she loves Halloween, so she insists that our next episode be in costume, as we do every year. So you know, I'm just I don't know. I'm just depressed because she's gonna come out with some really sexy looking thing with her daughter, Porscha, and they're probably gonna match, and you know she's into it, she's got a kid. I'm just like, it's an afterthought. But I want a cool costume and I want a costume that people could recognize. Remember that one year I drove I dressed up as Frankenberry from the Cereal.

00:08:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, people thought I was pinky in the brain. Yeah, that was a fail. There was a major fail.

00:08:30
Speaker 2: She went for a seventies reference over a nineties reference or whatever.

00:08:33
Speaker 3: You're pink it was.

00:08:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know you if I'm from the seventies and you're a nineties bitch, I love it.

00:08:39
Speaker 3: Right, that's correct. So I'm just I'm speaking of wacky waving if I may.

00:08:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you remember when Jimmy Fallon was in studio with us, I don't know, five years ago and we hit the wacky waving inflatable arm? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and and he was hit by it and he was was swatting him and whatever. Anyway, I put up that video from my perspective in the studio on my Instagram account, and some guy this week posted, hey, I'm the like something. I'm the official dealer of wacky waving man and if you want one or whatever, Like it's a whole sales pitch they put on my like a whole paragraph. He must be going around looking for wacky waving videos. So maybe you could post a picture of you and the pajamas that you you got. Would they have a little butt flap in the backs you could poop. They don't from the from the from the old South stereotypes. Yeah, oh that that was That was actually the trap door to get a spank kid. They used to prop the kid over the lap and open up the trap door and spank.

00:09:46
Speaker 3: That's what the trap door was from.

00:09:48
Speaker 2: You don't think a paddle on the ass what your pajamas on would still hurt.

00:09:52
Speaker 3: I think the I think the trap door was the poop. I think it was multifunctional.

00:09:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, multi per couldn't get I guess it could get sexual as well. Not kids, I'm saying if they are adults wearing them, that's.

00:10:02
Speaker 3: Why I have to do.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: Well. I saw your face. It shouldn't have to be a save. Of course, I was applying kids. I'm saying adults. You know, you'd always see like the jug of moonshine and the guy in the with the flap in the back flapping the batons and cartoons.

00:10:17
Speaker 1: Right.

00:10:18
Speaker 2: Anyway, you should post the picture of you in the in the shitty costume and see if the guy, the president of Wacky Waving, whoever he is, maybe gives you something for.

00:10:26
Speaker 3: Free, because he obviously wants to do something with me.

00:10:28
Speaker 2: He's like, okay, you know, well anyway, I don't know, that's my bright idea for costume.

00:10:33
Speaker 3: And oh you calling it your bright ideas? Do you have a backup plan? Don't? You don't got your Frankenberry from a couple of years ago.

00:10:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take out my Frankenberry right now.

00:10:42
Speaker 3: That's gross. That's a monster cial.

00:10:45
Speaker 2: I don't want to say podcast.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: That was gross, that was disgusting.

00:10:53
Speaker 2: I did something so innocent, childlike and PG turn into something so racy.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: I don't know. Well, I don't know.

00:11:01
Speaker 2: Now if you had said, you know, uh, your girlfriend was going as yummy mummy or something, right, then yeah, that's that's fine's calling me. But like your fruit brud, you'd be more fruit brute. I think for those who remember all.

00:11:14
Speaker 3: The vol I'll forget it. We you're not going to go over this list. So if you did franken Berry and you carried a box of the cereal, do.

00:11:21
Speaker 2: You think people that would that would have been in the brain carrying a box of frank or I could have done count chocola. That's a that's a recognizable one. Because people still have to get a brown a brown Dracula costume. Yeah, I'm sure it exists. Hey, what about a couple of years ago when I was mister Rogers, I thought that was an amazing costume. That was pretty good. Although you never took your sneakers off. Yeah, you kind of have to put your shoes, mister Rogers. I think, sure, Well, when you drive your white van, that'll be great. It's such a good feeling know you're alive.

00:11:56
Speaker 3: It's such a baby see my own inside, watching the deep inside stay.

00:12:04
Speaker 2: I think snappy New Day, I don't. I think I made up the lyrics there. I don't think It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood is the the the traditional yeah standards, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

00:12:18
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful day for a neighborhood. You be mine? Could you be mine? Yeah? But the secondary song was also fun. I don't know. Yeah, that was fine.

00:12:25
Speaker 2: You know, but it's like you take the biggest hit of an artist and you go, how about that second?

00:12:29
Speaker 3: You do you remember some of these story songs.

00:12:31
Speaker 2: From the like your childhood, like the Sesson I don't remember any of them. I just sang one of them. No other ones like sesame street, of course, yes, of course. Okay, sunny day, sweeping up clouds away, the sweeping the clouds away, not sweeping cloudsweeping the clouds away, sweeping the clouds away.

00:12:53
Speaker 3: What's next?

00:12:54
Speaker 2: Friendly neighbors nowhere on my way where.

00:13:00
Speaker 3: The air is clean.

00:13:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the second that's the first verse, see something. The second one is friendly neighbors something.

00:13:06
Speaker 3: You're a little rusty there.

00:13:08
Speaker 2: I'm a little rusty. But I remember the basically of the song. Yeah, yeah, we always. I feel like we some songs like that, and not just child children's songs, but songs from our past, from all those years ago.

00:13:19
Speaker 3: How could we remember lyric for lyric?

00:13:21
Speaker 2: Like, for instance, like my one of my favorites is jump around, right, I could probably recite that without any help from a karaoke machine.

00:13:30
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:13:30
Speaker 2: Every time Elvis used to ask you to do it, you did seventy percent and then prayed he'd hit the music and turn the mic off. You never did the whole song. You would always like, step back from the mic and the words you didn't know. I'm calling bullshit on that. I watched you. You know a good part of it, you do, But when the mic is in front of you. When the spotlight is on, you get all clammy. But I can't memorize rap lyrics from songs of today. I can't for whatever reason, I just don't know.

00:13:54
Speaker 3: I just don't know them.

00:13:55
Speaker 2: I mean, because a lot of them don't have the hooks and the choruses. They're not as melodic. They're just sort of the same beat over the four minutes, and then there's you know, now, I'm not insulting the music. It's just not designed. The pop music is designed to be catchy. That's the wh point in pop music. It's made to be remembered, it's made to be learned. When you hear pop song by the third time, you're singing along and then you hate it after a while.

00:14:18
Speaker 3: But that's that's pop music.

00:14:20
Speaker 2: Whereas you take a song from Led Zeppelin or you know, any any rock band that that's not on the radio like that does rock music, it's designed to be appreciated over a longer period of time, so you don't learn the words right away. It takes you longer to hear the instrumentation. It takes you longer to hear the structure of the song in your head. Pop music is like you know, mm mop mop and you singing along. But there are classics, classic hip hop songs like bust a move Yeah, because that's that's just a friend. Just ad remember the words yes, because it was verse chorus, verse chorus.

00:14:53
Speaker 3: Like a pop song. They don't all fall that way.

00:14:56
Speaker 2: Now, Drake doesn't go heyvet boiler's buzz to move for three minutes. He's catchy, but he's not like a pop song, you know, turned down for what that?

00:15:07
Speaker 3: Nobody knows. The rest of the words are the.

00:15:10
Speaker 2: One person who does I apologize, but I was like, well about turned down for what? You buy another round of shots? Turned down for what? Something like that?

00:15:18
Speaker 3: Right?

00:15:19
Speaker 2: Right, but right, it's not designed for that. It's just designed to be catchy.

00:15:23
Speaker 3: You know the chorus.

00:15:24
Speaker 2: Okay, so you know how music works, you know why pop music is different than rock music. You still didn't answer my question, what are you doing this weekend? That was a long question ago. What am I doing this weekend?

00:15:36
Speaker 3: Yeah? Where you're going? You go to a party?

00:15:38
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you gonna be that guy that shows up at a Halloween party? No tomorrow and doesn't dress up.

00:15:44
Speaker 3: No, I'm not going to Halloween party.

00:15:45
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, I am going to watch my daughter cheer for her college football team. And wow, someday I'm probably gonna watch the Jet Giant's game with my friends.

00:16:01
Speaker 3: Your daughter's a cheerleader, Yes she is.

00:16:04
Speaker 2: Didn't know that well, I've posted, like when we did a fundraiser she needed people to buy popcorn.

00:16:09
Speaker 3: I just put up you know, I promoted it. Yeah, I don't follow your Instagram. Yeah I know you.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: No, no, no, in all seriousness, I didn't realize your daughter's cheer a cheering.

00:16:18
Speaker 3: We've talked about it.

00:16:19
Speaker 2: It's all right, No, but like professionally, yeah, they pay her thousands of dollars in college professional she's actually on the team, she wears. He actually means pro means money you get paid. Professionally means you get paid.

00:16:36
Speaker 3: No.

00:16:36
Speaker 2: She sits in the bleachers and goes yay, and I go and watch her yell yah. Can I call that being a cheerleader? Now that your daughter, not that your daughter's on the squad. She's been on the squad for this a third year on the squad, right, but he's one of the captains in the team. Now that your daughter has taken this on, h do you change your stance from years ago about cheerleading because she's not she's not doing it as a sport er leading. Well, the age old argument is is cheerleading a sport? It's but you used to You used to clamor that it was not a sport. No, I used to write jokes for people who would then clamor it wasn't a sport.

00:17:14
Speaker 3: But is it a sport?

00:17:15
Speaker 2: How do you really feel is it a sportive cheer I think competitive cheerleading is a competition. I think they're athletes, but it's not a sport. Because I don't want to get into.

00:17:29
Speaker 3: This, I think you should. Daughter is not My daughter is not.

00:17:32
Speaker 2: A competitive cheerleader. She's an athlete who cheers for football team.

00:17:37
Speaker 3: Right. But so a lot of parents would say that that's a sport. It's not a sport.

00:17:42
Speaker 2: She's not being judged, she's not being she's not competing, she's just cheering for the football team. Very difficultly, I might add all props to her, she's she's an incredible athlete. Oh, I'm not saying it's anything that she's she's less of a person sport. Okay, competitive cheer is not what she does. So it's irrelevant to bring her up in this conversation. Competitive cheer is like teams of forty that that do backflips and pyramids, so that's a sport, and acrobat that is a competition like dance competitions. Is dancing irrelevant? Okay, but it's not a sport though, or people? What makes what makes I'm not looking to make enemies after the dollar six, I'm e slices if you if you haven't figured it out by now, I'm trying to lead Brody down a rabbit hole and corner him scary. Is trying to do is get all the new listeners to be scary Brody rather than Brody scary.

00:18:39
Speaker 3: That's what he's trying to do. Brody, I'm sorry.

00:18:42
Speaker 2: There's audio out there of you clearly saying cheerleading is.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: Not a sport.

00:18:47
Speaker 2: Go find it because as most people know, I didn't talk on the radio. My job was to write funny lines from other people. Okay, all right, you're taking this to heart, Brody, No, no, no, But I think there's a there's a case to be made on either side of the argument.

00:19:00
Speaker 3: That's what makes it so interesting.

00:19:02
Speaker 2: Definition of a sport an activity involving physical exertion and skill, in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Team sports such as baseball and soccer similar competitive. I feel like cheerleading fits in that bucket. It does by that definition. Yet, but you're calling it a competition competitive cheer because because you're not scoring, you're being scored. Huh oh, so you're not actively scoring, you're passively scoring.

00:19:35
Speaker 6: No.

00:19:35
Speaker 2: No, I think that's why it seems different. Granted, when you do gymnastics, people consider gymnastics sports, as do I. So I guess if you considered competitive cheerleading, which by the way, has changed from twenty years ago when we did that conversation on air, it's there's as much gymnastics almost in competitive cheerleading than as as gymnastics, Like they're amazing athletes. So I think it's evolved into an actual sport since twenty years ago when we had that conversation in our Jersey SAA studios, Yes, in two thousand. A lot of things have changed in those twenty years, our opinions on everything.

00:20:17
Speaker 3: It seems well, okay, by going.

00:20:20
Speaker 2: By the original what you just said about it's a competition sports you actually score. So by that logic, no, I said, that's why it seems different. It's okay, Well what about bowling then? Not by that logic, bowling is a sport. It is a sport. You're exerting to lift the ball and fling it. It's absolutely a sport. Some people are saying that that it's not a sport. Who's saying that? You're not getting live text messages? So what are you saying? Who's saying that? Some people will say anything. Listen, people say cornhole is not a sport. But there are people who say corn hole sort of a professional sport, or you can it's a competition. But if you have a league and you call it a sport, I don't. No, you're tossing a bean bag into a hole. But is it any different than tossing a bad It requires skill like you're touching a basketball into a hole.

00:21:08
Speaker 3: But it doesn't.

00:21:09
Speaker 2: It doesn't exerts as this as the definition.

00:21:13
Speaker 3: Let me read it again.

00:21:14
Speaker 2: So it's the level of exertion. It's the level of physical exertion that we don't know. What makes is Darth throwing a sport? Someone say it is is beer beer, Poe is beer pong a sport because by that's an activity. Okay, then someone would say that darts are an activity, as is bowling and cheerleading. Yeah, but bowling, you're flinging fifteen pounds to sixteen pounds. It's a sport. Again, it depends if you do it. If you don't play darts, you're like darts, You're just throwing darts. But if you play darts competitively, then it's a competition and or maybe a sport in your mind. Maybe I'm not here to judge other people's sports. All I know is I play a lot more sports than you do. So that's all that really matters with Sirian Brodie. I think that going back to what we're talking about before the commercials, the better conversation is, is scary an athlete?

00:22:06
Speaker 3: No?

00:22:07
Speaker 2: But nor do I claim to be. I think that it's unanimous on that. I'm not an athlete. I'm a ma athlete. I was a math lete. I was not great at math. I was awesome at math?

00:22:18
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Not anymore? You're not not anymore?

00:22:20
Speaker 2: I forgot all that ship, I mean once and once we got into quadriatic equations, and okay, what what a quadriatic equation? Quadratic a quadratic an adriatic equation calculus.

00:22:37
Speaker 3: Once pre calc and CALC started, I was out. I couldn't do it.

00:22:42
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it anymore Brodie, because to me, it was all nonsense. You're not You're not a parabola guy. Parabola you mean, how do you pronounce that word? You might say, yeah, I mean once once you got past. I mean in geometry, do you need that ship? I don't know if you want to all the math you need to.

00:23:06
Speaker 3: Know square footage of a room, or what if?

00:23:09
Speaker 2: What if somebody suddenly throws a triangle at a triangle at you and you only know how long two sides are you have to figureut the third side.

00:23:16
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.

00:23:17
Speaker 2: I think all the math we need to learn in school is done in the first few years.

00:23:21
Speaker 3: I think once, once.

00:23:24
Speaker 2: You know, I get squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. That I know, right, all squares, All squares are rectangles. That's correct, yes, because it has four sides by definition, But all rectangles are not squares because correct they're not two sides of.

00:23:43
Speaker 3: Are even correct? Yeah? Okay, but even that. It's like, do we need that for life? No, we don't. We need basic shit.

00:23:50
Speaker 2: So at some point in high school, they're they're just feeding you these classes just to pass the time.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: I don't know, that's my guess.

00:23:58
Speaker 2: No, it's about challenging your brain and it to work creatively. Some levels of math. I don't know if you need to figure out what the you know, the parabolos. I don't think that helps you in life, and it would it would be great if if they focused on just teaching people how to speak English, because that seems to be still a problem. Yeah, why isn't it. In second grade they're teaching people that a lot is two words. I don't understand because they just to focus off of that.

00:24:23
Speaker 3: They took the focus.

00:24:24
Speaker 2: I mean, there was this thing called balance, but they had to have written a lot is one word on their on their paper they handed in. There's this thing called teacher or not. No, no, there's this thing called balanced literacy. That's been I mean, listen, I don't know how you feel about that. That's about you want to talk about it.

00:24:37
Speaker 3: You're talking to a guy who just said quadriatic. No no, no, no, no, no.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: This is a very big point of contention in schools balanced literacy is what what they've been doing recently where they they you know, read and whatever, and and they don't teach consonants, sounds of words.

00:24:56
Speaker 3: What they don't know, they don't sounds of words, they don't, they don't.

00:24:59
Speaker 2: Show they used to do the cute cards and the holding up words and sounding things out, you know, and how the phonics like all that stuff that we did as a kid went out the window for a long time. And basically they were like everybody's on the same reading level, all in the same class, everybody.

00:25:20
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. So anyway, so.

00:25:22
Speaker 2: They're finding out now that that way of you know, that curriculum has after this twenty year experiment, is turning out horribly for kids when they get to college. So they're actually now going back to the old school way of Okay, teach, I don't know what you're referring to. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm talking about when it comes to hold on, that's not what balance literacy is. So you may be describing what's going on in school. So balanced literacy refers to an instructional approach that involves a balance between teacher led reading and writing instruction and independent learning, independent learning, right, and and but the teacher led is not. They're not doing the things that we remember as kids and teaching them those. They're skipping all of that and they're just figuring, now, oh, we'll just sound things out, or we'll figure it out as we go along. The more you read, the more you'll pick up. That's not the case. Let's say I speak to my sister about this all the time. She's an englis Acording to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, only thirty five percent of American children read proficiently or better correct by the way, how beautifully did I read that sentence?

00:26:35
Speaker 3: That was eloquent? Thank you?

00:26:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was eloquent. Or you might say I read eloquently. Nobody uses adverbs anymore. Well, because they're not teaching it like that. That's the whole problem with pals. You run quickly, right.

00:26:49
Speaker 3: We were taught.

00:26:51
Speaker 2: We were taught the foundation, the building blocks of the language, and all the mechanics and the technical stuff. You still say, me and her so right, Well, that's one of the things that I never abandoned.

00:27:06
Speaker 3: Abandoned to say.

00:27:08
Speaker 2: This is if you are one of the new listeners. That's scary. Saller is going to be here. We do more fun things than this normal we do again, we're getting but we also have a penchant for taking detours.

00:27:20
Speaker 3: And nice word going off the mark.

00:27:24
Speaker 2: Speaking of grammar and English, I wanted to talk about Facebook Marketplace for a second, like I did last and the week before that, and the week before that and the week before that. Well, okay, so this person wanted to buy something I was selling and they wrote vu habitatsu I think.

00:27:41
Speaker 3: Which is French. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. It's not.

00:27:44
Speaker 2: You don't need to tweet me, uh England, And I said, so I wrote, because I'm so used to Spanish, I wrote English poor for more and then I went, oh fuck, they're French. So I used Google Translate and I and I said, voulat utilizer les nglas see voules pouve utilise Google Translate poor ekred ceci or something. Basically what I said was I'm using Google Translate to say this in French. Could you please use Google Translate to English so I can understand what you're saying. And he wrote back, no, you use it, you you translate it he wrote something like vupouve tra due vou Okay, so he said you translate. So here's my question. Yep, Now, okay, there's two trains of thought here. You tell me which one you're on the side of. He wants something from me, I'm the store he's walking into. Right, shouldn't he figure out how to communicate with me? Or on the flip side, I want to sell something, I have the financial interest. Ah, I should use Google Translate. So it's basically the question is who's going to give into who here and right?

00:29:01
Speaker 3: In this case of ceiling, he speaks English.

00:29:03
Speaker 2: First of all, most people speak French, learn English because the rest of the world speaks two languages.

00:29:08
Speaker 3: Second of all, he's on Facebook.

00:29:10
Speaker 2: Unless he just moved here from a French speaking country, he probably knows English, is my guess. But should I have just continued to translate everything he said? And I think in the event that he is your customer, you make every effort to get that sale, and you you actually do the Google translate into his language. I think that's only fair.

00:29:36
Speaker 3: Well, are you not?

00:29:38
Speaker 2: I mean he may be not sure, he may be offering you over your asking price. I mean, you don't know that because you're not making an attempt. He may if you'd ask him nicely, if he could use Google Translate. He's the first person ever to say no, you do it, no exactly. He's the buyer. Customer is always right. He's your customer.

00:30:00
Speaker 3: I agree with him.

00:30:01
Speaker 2: Okay, I think maybe he should have said, hey, i'm driving, or it's I'm gonna work. Would you be able to like he was if he was more polite about.

00:30:09
Speaker 3: It, he might have been. He might have been testing you too. I was like, this guy's a shithead. I don't want to buy anything off this guy. Well, you know what?

00:30:16
Speaker 2: That right?

00:30:16
Speaker 3: He's right exactly. We both can agree on the shitheads.

00:30:20
Speaker 2: I'd like to like to shout out Olga, Olga, Olga, I'm selling something for fifty dollars.

00:30:26
Speaker 3: By the way, man, I'm sorry, sorry about your name, but what Olga? You don't like Olga?

00:30:34
Speaker 7: No?

00:30:35
Speaker 3: No, I'm sure no, I'm gonna get myself in trouble here, go ahead.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: You know you don't think Olga is like you think it's like Bertha Olga.

00:30:43
Speaker 3: I love Oh Shit's Corbett was one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. Olga's a slice.

00:30:49
Speaker 2: But when I hear Olga, I I hear the name, and I can't help this because these are my thoughts.

00:30:56
Speaker 3: People, Please don't persecute me.

00:31:00
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, I hear all guy, I hear I think of like a like a witch or an old woman, hunchback old ya and like like almost like someone like she's like like eagles stirring her her cauldron like Olga. Okay, So I'm smarry old guy. You're probably not. You're probably a ten.

00:31:22
Speaker 3: I know she's not.

00:31:23
Speaker 2: So she's okay because I'm gonna tell you. First of all, she's on Facebook, so you can see her picture. Second of all, she was fine, she's fine looking all right. She made me an offer for the fifty dollars item. She said, it says all go offered you forty dollars. Now, I didn't get back to her right away because now you on instant, on instant, on Facebook messenger, you can see that somebody read your message. Sure right, it's right, okay. So I saw it while I was driving. I was stopped at a light, and I'm like, I'll get back to her later. Within five minutes of me seeing it, she put three question marks, then five minutes later, she put three more questions marks. Then ten minutes later she said, yes or no. It isn't that hard. Now, how would you have handled this? Well, first of all, thank you for clearing that up clearly not a slice, because but I'm sure I'm I'm offending some older that's listening right now.

00:32:20
Speaker 3: How would I handle that? Yeah? I would, I would.

00:32:24
Speaker 2: I would move on because you know, she's I don't think she's gonna be somebody who's gonna be making a purchase anytime soon. She's either fucking with you or no. She desperately wants me to get back to her. But about what if she's not clearly made me an offer. She made me an offer, right, and it's up to me to decline or accept it. But I didn't have time to think about it, and I had other people interested in the same item, so I didn't get back.

00:32:48
Speaker 3: To it right away. Okay, so now you're ready, you can get back to right away. But but did you sell the item? Dude? That's not the issue here.

00:32:54
Speaker 2: She said, question one, question one question work, then later question my question, question walk, then should yes or no? It isn't like, why can't you fucking answer me? Is what she said basically, So I wrote back question mark question my question mark. Then two minutes later I wrote question my question my question mark. Then I wrote back is it that hard to get back to me?

00:33:13
Speaker 3: Back at her?

00:33:14
Speaker 2: Oh no, now you just trying to teach her a lesson, right, And then she unfollowed me and left the chat room. So I haven't done this in a while, and I think it's appropriate. Guys, added to the list. Fuck you Olga? Wow?

00:33:33
Speaker 3: Olga?

00:33:33
Speaker 2: Well okay, so then she she is exactly the person I was picturing before you told the story?

00:33:40
Speaker 3: Yes or no? Is that hard?

00:33:42
Speaker 2: No, it's not, except I have other things to do and getting back to you the second you want me to is not my priority. Yeah, so fuck you Olga. Yeah, I'm adding Olga to the list.

00:33:52
Speaker 3: Wow. When I had a couple of scammers this week, Well, my question is what is she? What did she What was so urgent that she needed you to get back because she noticed I read her offer.

00:34:03
Speaker 2: So either she's desperate for this thing I'm selling and she God forbid she can't wait, or she wants to make offers on other similar items.

00:34:11
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:34:12
Speaker 2: The point is it was all within like fifteen minutes. It's one thing I like. A day later, I didn't get back to her. It was fifteen minutes.

00:34:20
Speaker 3: She knew it was you, so you know she knows she knows you life.

00:34:24
Speaker 2: Yes, speaking of which, you're hovering over the computer. What's the matter, it's been three minutes. You haven't gotten back to me, David Brody.

00:34:31
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I did interact with two slices through Facebook. Nice. I'm not going to say their names. They know who they are.

00:34:40
Speaker 2: Is one of them someone who one gentleman as somebody who leaves talkbacks for us on occasion, as in the last four or fives, okay, And he bought a costume from me that I was selling a Halloween costume. Oh, and I met him at at a location and we had a great conversation. Off he's a big fan, and he said, to to be honest with you, as much as I wanted the costume, it was worth the money to come to get to meet you.

00:35:05
Speaker 3: So very nice. And I think I shouted him out in the previous episode. So that's fine. So you're doing a.

00:35:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I sold I sold something else to someone I didn't know was a slice, and I show up at the location you know that I designed that we meet and he was it was he was buying a microphone for me, an old microphone, and I said, hey, listen, what do you What do you do with the microphone.

00:35:30
Speaker 3: He goes, oh, I'm I'm starting my own podcast.

00:35:32
Speaker 2: I said, fantastic. He's like, I've done some YouTube videos and I need a good microphone. I said, okay, great, So I sold an extra microphone I had, so he said. He said, well, why do I have a microphone? Why am I selling it? I said, well, I got a better microphone.

00:35:46
Speaker 3: He goes, what do you do? I said, I podcast?

00:35:48
Speaker 5: You know.

00:35:49
Speaker 2: He is, oh, what's the name of your podcast? I said, it's called the Brooklyn Boys and he.

00:35:53
Speaker 3: Goes, wait a minute, wait a minute. He knew it. He goes, I've heard that before. Where have I heard that?

00:36:01
Speaker 2: And he looks at me and he goes, wait a minute. Here, you're David Brody. That's the podcast they talk about an Elvistrand in the morning show. I said, yeah, have you heard the podcast? No, I just hear him talking about it. You have never listened because you do that with thumb with thumb froggy. I said, yeah, I said.

00:36:23
Speaker 3: Legitibly. He said that he was with Thumb with I Go Scary Joe.

00:36:26
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, you guys do the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Yes, Oh my god, I didn't realize it was you. It didn't click.

00:36:31
Speaker 3: I saw the name. It didn't click.

00:36:32
Speaker 2: Very very nice guy, very nice, and he promised to start listening, and I told me to listen to order. So I guess in about three years from now you'll hear this. But now, then you sold him something, did it seemed awkward after you sold it to him that he was now a slice. Oh, because because I gave him a very good price. Okay, I didn't feel bad. Well, if you remember a couple of years ago, I sold my eve scooter to one of our slices.

00:36:55
Speaker 3: He who walked you down, haggled you and got a fuless. Well, because he slice, I gave a very good deal.

00:37:00
Speaker 2: As you might just say, you can get a better deal because he asked you for less and you gave it to him.

00:37:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's a Slice for life. We're gonna hook up our.

00:37:09
Speaker 2: That was during the time when you were an athlete for a day and you rode the scooter and you were like, you pull this again.

00:37:13
Speaker 3: What was I thinking. I guess you thought it would be a fun activity.

00:37:18
Speaker 2: Fun and I'm gonna put fun in quotes of fun activity. But have you ever so wait, so was this guy? Where'd you meet him? I met him any public location. I was going to say, what if you guys met him in the po in front? What if you met in front of your house? And then he asked to use your bathroom?

00:37:36
Speaker 3: What would you do?

00:37:37
Speaker 2: Oh, I would tell where you live and tell me you have a nice of bathroom. Yeah, then I would redirect him to go take a ship in your pool? Well, how's that closest you get to it? How's that eighty degrees tomorrow?

00:37:50
Speaker 3: Saturday?

00:37:50
Speaker 2: It was sun sized yesterday and eighty degrees. Let me take you something, sucker. Your pool is closed. That's what you get, you know what? So, yeah, my pools because it's almost November. And so last night I'm like, you know what, I need to relax. And I had the football game on Thursday night football, which is on Amazon Prime, which is streaming. It was pretty much pretty much loss on people. I took my tablet out and I put it on the edge of my hot tub and I got in the hot tub. Last night to watch the football game. Let me tell you something. When it's like seventy five degrees at night in October and you get into a hot tub, it's not that enjoyable.

00:38:27
Speaker 3: It's not.

00:38:28
Speaker 2: It's not.

00:38:29
Speaker 3: I was thinking, I really wish I had my cold.

00:38:31
Speaker 2: Pool open right now. But the hot tub I had a get out of the hot tub. It was too hot, scary. These are the problems I have. Oh, this is this is this is David Brody problems, first world problems with David Brody. It was too hot for my hot tub. Don't you hate when that happens?

00:38:44
Speaker 8: Oh?

00:38:45
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because I know how that feels. By the way, I'm lucky. I have an outdoor space that's like two by two. I have a lie. I just about two months ago paid off the hot tub after how many years?

00:39:04
Speaker 3: Three?

00:39:05
Speaker 2: I think we did a thirty six month We did some kind of no no interest financing with home Depot, well congratulating pandemic forty eight months. It was thirty six months we bought in twenty twenty during the pandemic. Does that mean I remember that I remember you talking about, you know, the the install of it, that whole thing, that whole bit but you it was a nightmare. But I couldn't have afforded hot top if I couldn't pay it off over three years.

00:39:29
Speaker 3: I get it. So now now you're looking at a new one. You know, what are you gonna do? Now?

00:39:35
Speaker 2: No, it's fine, no mind, because once you paid it off, it's like, uh, okay, that's so great.

00:39:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I bought my charger. I was leasing it. You decided that.

00:39:48
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:39:48
Speaker 2: I bought it because the new chargers, the twenty threes, they're the last model, the last year of gas chargers, and the interest rates are so high, and the finance the lease rates so high.

00:40:00
Speaker 3: I couldn't lease my car again. So I bought it.

00:40:04
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:40:04
Speaker 3: So I had to get new plates. I had to go to d m V.

00:40:07
Speaker 2: And when we come back from break, I want to tell you about the lady, the very nice lady at DMV that I had to had.

00:40:13
Speaker 8: To do that.

00:40:16
Speaker 3: I don't know you're coming down with some may have another fu coming. Oh boy boys podcast, we will be right back. A lot of anger built up inside you. Oh, I wouldn't say anger.

00:40:28
Speaker 2: So I had to go to DMV because when you lease a car, the license plates technically belonged to the finance company.

00:40:34
Speaker 3: So when you buy the car, you have to get new plates. So I had to.

00:40:37
Speaker 2: I had to take the old title from from the bank sent me and the registration proof of insurance, you know, fill out forms, and so what you have to do is you have to go to the first area is the reception area.

00:40:49
Speaker 3: You gotta wait online.

00:40:51
Speaker 2: They tell you if your paperwork is in order and what you need to fill out, and they highlight what you missed, and then when you're all done with your paperwork, then they give you a number and they call you over to the people actually do the work and give you the plates and do whatever they have to do. So I go up to the window and it's not really a window. It's plexiglass, which I guess they installed post COVID, during COVID whatever. So that eye level, there's nothing but glass in front of you. Okay, at your at your waist level, it's open so that you can pass things through. You can pass your paperwork under the glass. Am I painting the picture properly? So at your belly button level at the counter you can pass things through. Well, the woman is sitting there, her name, her name, we'll call her Cheryl the the sake of this conversation, because that was her fucking name. And she's wearing a mask. Nothing, that's what she wants to do. That's fine, but she's sitting down, scary. So her face is on the same level as the opening to hand papers to okay, because you're standing, she's sitting. You got it, yep, okay. So I handle my papers and she's as down and I said, I'm sorry, and she says, you've got to hung So I so I leaned down to Charlie Brown's teacher, right. So I leaned down to the opening and I say, I'm sorry, I can't hear you. And her response to me was, don't talk to the I talked to the glass. So I said, oh, that I heard. So I stand back up and I say, you can't talk through glass. You should have like you know, when they put like a piece of metal.

00:42:37
Speaker 3: The slits so you.

00:42:39
Speaker 2: Could talk through. I go, you can't talk through glass, and I can't talk over it because it's too high. I go, She just why I can hear you, so I said. So I said, I what else do I need to do? So I leaned down again, So I go, I can't hear you.

00:42:57
Speaker 3: And I leaned down to hear her. Now I'm not talking. I've only lean I'm leaning down.

00:43:02
Speaker 2: You put your ear to the slot. I put my ear to the slot and she goes, don't talk to the slot. And I said, so I stand back up to the mirror the window. Gay, I go, I'm not talking doing a slot.

00:43:14
Speaker 3: I put my ear to hear you.

00:43:16
Speaker 6: I didn't hear you.

00:43:19
Speaker 3: I said, if you talk to me the same way you yell at me, I hear you.

00:43:23
Speaker 2: She says, well, you didn't do this, this and this and this. I said, okay, then just highlight I'll do it. So I had to get back do the thing, get back online. And then some woman came back from her lunch break. Now there's two people, so I spent the I was twelfth online. So I was trying to figure out am I getting Cheryl again or the nice lady who came back from lunch who seems well rested.

00:43:42
Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, now I'm fourth in line.

00:43:44
Speaker 5: I get.

00:43:45
Speaker 2: So I was trying to like, take a little longer, take a little longer, so that what opens up ayway, I didn't have to go to Cheryl again. Got to the other woman, but she kept yelling at everybody else online because everybody kept ducking down and talk to her to the opening don't Yeah, I got talking about.

00:44:01
Speaker 3: Listen.

00:44:03
Speaker 2: If you're gonna whisper, don't wear a mask. And if you're gonna wear a mask, don't whisper. I think that's a fair request. Yeah, I understandable volume volume adjustment. And it's not like it's an old motor vehicle. This particular branch opened within the past year year and a half. It's relatively new, So put the fucking slots and talk through the glass.

00:44:24
Speaker 3: Fuck you, Sheryl. My god, I just woant my license plate.

00:44:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then and then there's that anticipation scary you've got a new license Well, you leash your cars, but when you get a license plate, you're like, I hope it's a good license plate.

00:44:38
Speaker 3: I hope it's a good license plate.

00:44:39
Speaker 2: But what what constitutes a good license plate? Something that's gonna spell something out accidentally. Yes, Like okay, so my last license plate had x's and v's and w's. That's I couldn't wait to get rid of it. It's horrible because the acts like a W which looks like a V.

00:44:57
Speaker 3: No, it's just like, what is it?

00:44:58
Speaker 2: Like you can't remember if it's if it the exes before the V, the V is before the W. The w's what you can't remember.

00:45:04
Speaker 3: I'm telling you you can't.

00:45:05
Speaker 2: So you like so you like the three letters to spell out a word that you know or something so form like the initials of a famous person, like if it's like s JP, you're like, oh, Sarah Jessica Parker, Like I can remember that, Like you said, oh my my licensed plate is like F twenty one, Sir.

Speaker 10: Con Man, Hey Rody and Scary Jamie from Queen's Here Brody, New York City is plenty haunted. And I don't mean the creepy assholes walk in the streets of New York City.

00:47:35
Speaker 11: I've had plenty of ghostly encounters in my home, in my apartment building, in other people's homes and other buildings and stuff like that. In New York City, we just don't have the kind of like big advertised haunted attraction like the place Scary went too on vacation.

00:47:53
Speaker 3: That's right now if you've missed it. Brody doesn't believe in ghosts.

00:47:57
Speaker 5: I do.

00:47:58
Speaker 2: I went to I went to Savannah, which is one of those haunted cities in America went to a ghost house and they told us a story and things were going on and paranormal activity, YadA YadA, and Brody doesn't think any of it is true.

00:48:14
Speaker 3: So I'm sure something scary. Scary got pickpocketed at a two hundred bucks.

00:48:19
Speaker 7: No.

00:48:20
Speaker 2: I paid for the ghost tour because I wanted to set stole two hundred bucks. I'm scary at the door. I wanted to see some action the way.

00:48:28
Speaker 3: Shut up. Your your audio is cutting. There's a ghost of the machine. Uh see what thank you? Thank you please? So scary? Actually your video your video is breaking up and your audio is breaking up.

00:48:43
Speaker 2: Why does it sound like you just stored the problem of line of coke? You you're talking about honing and I sound great. You sound like shit anyway, that said, there's see the ghosts are getting to you because you're denying their existence.

00:48:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:48:58
Speaker 2: I would like to shout out Ethan Robbinson seventy six, as I started to do before.

00:49:03
Speaker 3: He sent me a DM.

00:49:04
Speaker 2: Brody, You're running commentary on Scary's ghost house story had me laughing my ass off at work. My brother and I used to watch by the way, perfect grammar used to watch the ghost Hunter shows and laugh ourselves silly, but Scary telling the story and your jokes was so much better. He needs to do more stuff like this just for the podcast commentary. Thanks for doing this, I needed it. Slice for life. Oh and does Scary washing his own laundry mean he's wing his own l w my own l Yeah, as they called back to sing your own dabs, all right, but washing my own what Lennen your laundry but laundry?

00:49:39
Speaker 8: Oh?

00:49:40
Speaker 3: Is wing your own l Oh? That's what we wanted to do. It perfect.

00:49:43
Speaker 12: So I'm listening to the Brooklyn Boys in my car as one should pull up to Target, pop in my earbuds. You guys start talking about the hauntings. Scary says, yeah, there's hauntings in New York, and then Brody says, yeah, they're called muggings. I'm dying, laughing, and then the Brody's ingers back and forth. He kept talking about the hauntings. Now I'm a man of larger size than I've started to hack and cough and we z and laugh so hard I'm waving people off. I'm fine, I'm fine. Fantastic stuff. Thank you guys, Thank you Brody, all right, Ted for Iowa.

00:50:12
Speaker 3: Ted killed Ted, We almost killed Ted. The ghost got to him. Oh you imagine, like.

00:50:18
Speaker 13: Man, but you just announced on the Big Show that you have a crush on Olivia Rodrigo. And I think that's creepy but also absolutely hilarious. And I thought Brody would get a kick out of that if he hadn't heard it already.

00:50:30
Speaker 2: Well, sorry, we talked about it last week on this show. And I stand by the fact that it's a double standard for people. Why is it okay for a grown ass woman to fawn over a nineteen year old shirtless.

00:50:43
Speaker 3: Guy who that seems to be okay. No, it's accepted. It's accepted.

00:50:48
Speaker 2: I think it's because of the men's size and penetration and turn about.

00:50:53
Speaker 3: Is fair play, folks, let's be equal. I thought we were all equal here. It's okay.

00:51:00
Speaker 2: Not like she's under age, she's twenty, all right, it's under your age by twenty, by more than twenty. She gets hotter and hotter every time I see that apple she's your age by like thirty good on every time I see that iPhone commercial.

00:51:12
Speaker 3: Oh my god, oh my.

00:51:13
Speaker 4: God, Brody and scary, it's Tamara from Upstate New York, Binghamton. First of all, Sciary, when you brought up on the air that you're attracted to Olivia Rodrigo as a nearly fifty year.

00:51:25
Speaker 2: Old man, yeah and she is twenty. Yeah.

00:51:27
Speaker 4: I tell what you were expecting from everyone, and I also don't know what you were expecting from Brody when you brought.

00:51:32
Speaker 3: It up on the podcast.

00:51:33
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:51:35
Speaker 4: I love you, Sciary.

00:51:36
Speaker 3: But it's a little say it crim creepy, Okay, I'm l love you.

00:51:41
Speaker 6: Guys.

00:51:42
Speaker 2: Every time a woman who's in her thirties or forties is attracted to a singer who's in his late teens early twenties, I'm gonna say the same thing.

00:51:53
Speaker 3: It's creepy.

00:51:55
Speaker 2: I don't remember the last time any woman I know your age was like, oh my god, uh well, Harry Styles, you're not looking looking hard enough. Bullshit. I call a bullshit on that had a mom. Send me a video. I'm so sorry, I don't have your name. I apologize. Sent me a video for kids screaming about David Kushner.

00:52:13
Speaker 3: So shout out. Nobody knows what David Kushner is really. He's going to be at ze one hundreds jingle Ball three.

00:52:19
Speaker 2: People just say that on the end. He's a new artist. He's a brand new artist. He's a bad example artist the people that don't know new artists. He's a bad example of what we were talking about last week. I'm just saying he's a good looking young guy. I bet you he could get Olivia Roger. Okay, oh my god, here, what do you call my name out for what I do?

00:52:36
Speaker 3: Now? Scary? You are incorrect.

00:52:39
Speaker 5: This is Renee from Lancaster. I can't even listen to the rest of the show what I am at fifty six. I do not know any women and there are some I'm sure that do that. I know more men that do that, and I find it creepy and like child Molustrish almost not that you are. But I remember when I first became single and some twenty year old guy hit on me and I was like, oh gross to the guys that we're being there.

00:53:05
Speaker 8: Like a.

00:53:08
Speaker 5: Continuing Okay, scary, I'm going to be like your boy one. Yes, they do get that same kind of reaction. And actually we've had this is Renee again from Lancaster. Got that we've had teachers that got in trouble for things like that.

00:53:23
Speaker 8: It is not with Brody on this one.

00:53:27
Speaker 3: We're not talking about miners. Men, women, We're not talking about miners. Let's be clear. I love you guys twenty there's nothing wrong there.

00:53:38
Speaker 2: When you're talking about teachers and students, you're talking.

00:53:41
Speaker 3: About underage children. Let's not confuse.

00:53:44
Speaker 11: The two teacher's scary are definitely.

00:53:47
Speaker 3: Oh my god, here we go. Is this my dollar six moment? Hold, I was just gonna set you being dollars six.

00:53:55
Speaker 7: Scary.

00:53:55
Speaker 13: You are definitely in your own little world thinking that everybody out there can just negotiate for lots of vacation, a lot better pay, and free stuff to go along with their jobs. Most of the jobs out there in retail, all the people that have to work holidays and weekends, those places aren't going to give you those things. They're going to laugh you out and wait for the next person to come in that will settle for that.

00:54:22
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to say, I'm like Brody, who will never apologize for anything. I will. I will, I will actually back off of my vent my stance on that after hearing from a lot of people, and I want to.

00:54:34
Speaker 3: Say, you're right. I don't know, I don't know what it's like about what Brody, Okay, just talk over me. Oh no, no, I didn't even to do that. Sorry. What I'm what I'm saying is I apologized. I apologized to you. Wrong.

00:54:45
Speaker 2: Whoa, there's a first for everything. No, what I wanted to say was in all honesty. You're right, I don't know what it's like out there. So maybe me just being all cavalier last week and thinking that anyone could negotiate position in any job, maybe that was a little much for me to say a little bit. It's not reality. Okay, let's put that. So basically, I kind of agree with what you're saying. There are certain jobs that are non negotiable and that that you can't get more vacation.

00:55:17
Speaker 3: This was the vacation conversation, Brody, That's what we were talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it, all right.

00:55:21
Speaker 10: Hey Brody and Jamie from Clean's again, yess for ghost stories. So here's one of mine. About a week after my uncle passed away, I went to his apartment to start cleaning stuff out. I saw him one day sitting at his dining room table. It startled me, and I blinked, and he was gone. I spent the next six months cleaning out this stuff.

00:55:42
Speaker 11: Even when I was alone in his apartment, it always felt like someone else was there with me or following me down the hall.

00:55:48
Speaker 10: Yep, as I threw stuff out.

00:55:50
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you Jamie from Queens. Okay, hey, Brady, you know what I gonna have to address that?

00:55:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on, go ahead. I'm not going to dispute how she felt. But I didn't hear her say that she saw a ghost.

00:56:02
Speaker 5: You know.

00:56:03
Speaker 2: You know those things when you look at they're like their negative image, like a black image, and it says, squint at it for like thirty seconds, close your eyes, and then open your eyes and you see the projection of that image.

00:56:13
Speaker 3: You can you can.

00:56:16
Speaker 2: Manifest seeing something that you've seen a thousand times in the same spot and think you see something and they not be a ghost.

00:56:23
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.

00:56:24
Speaker 2: Sometimes you like you blink, you blink your eyes and all of a sudden you think you see a dog in the corner of the room. But then you're like, you shake your head and it's not there. That's not a ghost, that's just shit in your eyes. You blurry vision.

00:56:34
Speaker 5: Sure, hey, Bertie and episode I believe it's two seventy two, the one about going into the federal building our courthouse.

00:56:42
Speaker 10: You are not allowed to take cell phones. You have to take them back to your car if you have them. There are no cell phones allowed past the security checkpoint.

00:56:54
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, okay in the courthouse. That's why.

00:56:59
Speaker 9: Hey, Brooklyn, this is Maria from Union City. Usually it's brody and scary, but right now it's scary and brody because you seem to be super butt hurt over the paranormal and ghost that Scary talks about. If you don't believe in it, that's cool. It is what it is, man, But they do exist.

00:57:19
Speaker 6: Just let it go.

00:57:21
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was butt hurt, and if you believe they exist, it wouldn't be right for me to say you should let it go.

00:57:28
Speaker 3: I think we're both allowed to have her.

00:57:29
Speaker 2: I'm just giving you my opinion by hold on a second, hold on, Hold on, Scary with the button hold on. I'm not saying that maybe you haven't seen a ghost. I'm saying Scary was not going to see a ghost in his fake ass ghost house.

00:57:43
Speaker 3: That's all. That's really the crux of my opinion. He got scammed, Brooklyn Boys, this is nag.

00:57:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rebecca, Rebecca All left in New Jersey, GA from Rock Clank County. I got no beef for you either, just wanted to leave a common regarding the wedding thing.

00:58:03
Speaker 2: I kind of have to.

00:58:04
Speaker 3: Agree with Juan Valdez.

00:58:06
Speaker 6: You're trying to do things they usually married couples do, or engage couples do. Hold on for Part two, boys, this is neck. Part two.

00:58:17
Speaker 3: Now here's the thing.

00:58:19
Speaker 6: So if those people were your real true friends, scary, they would actually invite you and Robin's I don't give a shit if you've been with Robin fourteen years or four months. If those are your actual friends, they would invite you and the plus thank you, so you can see that for the future you know who is real friend or not.

00:58:42
Speaker 3: Part three, This is neck.

00:58:44
Speaker 6: Part three, scary talk about continue to talk about your wedding. Now here's the thing. Some couples do choose. They do choose to invite married people. Some couples don't give a shit and they just invite singles. And then you agree somebody dating.

00:59:01
Speaker 3: Yes, Now I do have to say.

00:59:05
Speaker 6: It is their day. It is their day.

00:59:07
Speaker 3: Okay, now you're on me. I thought you were on my side. And now what what are you gonna say? Wedding?

00:59:14
Speaker 6: Yes, so there is some truth to that because you know, ultimately it's their day, it's their wedding. YadA, YadA, I'll get.

00:59:21
Speaker 3: It, YadA YadA.

00:59:22
Speaker 6: I want to put it. I want to nip it in the butt. You know fifty percent of marriages do end up in divorce.

00:59:29
Speaker 3: That is correct in the United States.

00:59:31
Speaker 6: That's yes, the statistics.

00:59:33
Speaker 3: Okay, but you know life is life, and you know.

00:59:36
Speaker 6: Weddings are very intimate and important things.

00:59:39
Speaker 3: All right, what is that the guy? What he flip flopped on me? You're a flip flopper man.

00:59:44
Speaker 7: Hey, Rody, and is scary? Scary Brody. This is Lisa from the Real Upstate New York calling about episode to seventy three and scary spoogling over Olivia Rodrigo as a mature woman. You know what that means.

01:00:01
Speaker 3: We don't get so blatantly sexual.

01:00:03
Speaker 7: Amtor mobally we might say what I would give to be thirty years younger.

01:00:11
Speaker 2: I have a great vega.

01:00:12
Speaker 3: That sounds uh, you know that sounds wanting to me.

01:00:16
Speaker 8: Okay, This is MJ from NJ again just to make a comment I missed Juan Veldez on the talkbacks. I don't know what happened. I know people are also pretending to him guy that's on the tractor trailer, whatever the hell he's on some kind of southern guy.

01:00:32
Speaker 3: Oh I can't, I can't.

01:00:34
Speaker 8: I couldn't stop laughing. Oh my god. And also the lady about the that wanted in Facebook or something. I couldn't stop it.

01:00:45
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the woman who says he's not a dandy breton. Okay, we have a couple more left and then we gotta go right.

01:00:50
Speaker 14: Ja here from South Jersey and it's always Bertie and scary. Ain't that right now? Does I just got to quickly say that I think we heard in the last episode that's scary at started doing his laundry because of the rain. Does that mean you had to empty out your watcher and dryer to do so? Or did you go somewhere?

01:01:07
Speaker 9: No?

01:01:07
Speaker 3: I actually thank you. They don't. They don't remember.

01:01:13
Speaker 2: They remember everything, man, every last detail.

01:01:15
Speaker 3: Yep.

01:01:16
Speaker 14: Lookom boys, this is DJ from South Jersey. You're back in and it's always brilliant scary. This is in reference to episode two sixty six. It's like kind of way back, but I must have never listened to it. But in reference to scary talking about bathroom etiquette with urinals, totally with you, bro Like everybody's known since at least middle school that you never go to the male urinal.

01:01:42
Speaker 3: Like what you doing guy? Exactly? All right, Brody? That note on that note, Yeah, should we flush this episode out? Hey?

01:01:53
Speaker 2: Balanced education should have taught to stand in the middle urinal.

01:01:56
Speaker 3: You don't do that. You stand right, balance literacy a bounce, littery. Don't know how I feel.

01:02:01
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about this being called a creep just for thinking of Olivia.

01:02:06
Speaker 3: He goes hot, Hey, slices leave leave talkbacks for next episode.

01:02:09
Speaker 2: On other reasons, why scaries of creep? He doesn't want to be Let's not do that. They don't want to be known as a creep because they're like he wants to be known as.

01:02:16
Speaker 3: For other reasons, why you're a scumback? No, I hate you, Brody ripped me on. You're a cheap bastard.

01:02:24
Speaker 1: I am

01:02:26
Speaker 5: Boys, boys,
