00:00:42
Speaker 3: I do.

00:00:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think eventually, I like four p forty two was a very famous a model of car, so I may may make a reference in four forty two if.

Speaker 4: Well, I got numbers, I got numbers. I'm waiting for fifty seven. Three fifty seven. It's out of you got that? That bullet is out of the chamber. Yes, very very good. Uh. A very famous scene with Clint Eastwood where he's, uh, he shoots. There's a guy he's been chasing and he says, I've shot. I'm paraphrasing he says, I've uh. If you've been counting, I've shot five bullets. You got to ask yourself, is this a five shot, three fifty seven magnum. He goes, he goes, He goes to the whole story about this is a three fifty seven magnum able to do this, this and this with this much power?

00:01:23
Speaker 3: Blah blah.

00:01:24
Speaker 4: Now you have to ask yourself, is this a five shot or a six shot?

00:01:29
Speaker 3: Ask yourself? Do you feel lucky? Do you punk? Okay? The guy?

00:01:34
Speaker 4: The guy thinks he feels lucky, and he goes after him and he shoots him.

00:01:37
Speaker 3: He was a sick Hey, hey, spoiler here? What's going on here? Oh? Come on, it's a fifty year old movie. No matter.

00:01:43
Speaker 4: Some people, a lot of people that I would I'm only bet that most people listening to this didn't see it. Well yeah, but they weren't going to see it anyway. Google mad Clint Eastwood, magnum. Do you feel lucky?

00:01:55
Speaker 3: Punk?

00:01:55
Speaker 4: It's one of the most famous scenes in American movie history. Well do you feel lucky? So yesterday was a Veteran's Day here as we record on eleven and twelve. Yesterday was eleven eleven, and very nice went to the Veterans Day parade with my dad and a couple of his veteran friends and the Wounded Warriors Project. Thanks thanks to them for hosting us on their float, got us all into the parade. But I got to say I was definitely feeling a little awkward at certain points, you know, because you're not a veteran exactly. And I'm like, I'm so I'm on the flow and we finally get rolling. It was cold yesterday too, but thank you to everybody who showed up.

00:02:44
Speaker 3: It was nice to see that.

00:02:45
Speaker 4: You know, the crowd still lined the streets right there on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, and they had posters and they're cheering, and they get waving American flags and literally they're staring me right in the eye. As you know, we were told to like stand up and wave. So we're waving at the crowd. I'm waving at the crowd, and they're waving back at me, and they're like, thank you for your service, thank you for your service, and and they're staring at me and and and at some point early on, I'm like, oh, I'm like stolen valor. I didn't do anything like so, but I was told to just you know, do the Queen's wave, you know, the cupped hand thing wave. Yeah, so so, but but there was a part of me that was just I felt like I was taking credit for something that.

00:03:35
Speaker 3: You should have a shirt on that said son of a veteran some oh distinguish.

00:03:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Now I want to paint a picture. Uh if you remember from last week and from slice time, Scary talked about his workout. So imagine Scary in the military. Right, They've got the heavy packs on their back, and they've got their rifle in their hand, and they're marching, right, They're marching up.

00:03:59
Speaker 3: A hill in the mud, right in muddy hill.

00:04:02
Speaker 4: And they're like hook and then Scary goes, all right, I just marched for two minutes. I'd like to take my three minute break now and see how that would that would go over with the with the drill sergeant.

00:04:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just there was a part of me that felt dirty, you know.

00:04:18
Speaker 4: And I'm like waving back at these people and they're waving to me, and people staring me straight in the face and they're like thank you, and they're pointing at me, thank you for your service. They're going, look at that guy, since he left the military, he let himself go. But I'm waving the with all the with all the with all these other people. What do you and I wouldn't have waved. That wouldn't have waved.

00:04:39
Speaker 3: I would you know what I would have done? What would you have done?

00:04:42
Speaker 4: I might have done like like a fist, like yeah, power to the veterans, or or like a peace sign or I don't know. I don't know if I would have waved like because it is sort of like pay.

00:04:52
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:04:52
Speaker 3: It's awkward.

00:04:53
Speaker 4: I know you weren't deliberately, but you know, going with the flow with the veterans. But look, the bottom line is, did your dad bring all his friends again? Yes, I was there for my dad and his friends.

00:05:05
Speaker 3: Right.

00:05:05
Speaker 4: I think you did enough of a good deed by bringing your dad and his military friends and let them be honored for the service they did.

00:05:12
Speaker 3: I think you're fine. I still halfway through that I was. I had no business being on that float.

00:05:17
Speaker 4: You really didn't. The fact that you were wearing camouflage makes it even worse. I think, in fact, you had a camo outfit on. No, it's fine, it's fine. Now back to your workout routine. We did talk about that last week where you you work for two minutes, right, and then you rest for three minutes.

00:05:33
Speaker 3: So again.

00:05:34
Speaker 4: I don't have use of a parody company anymore, but I thought this would be an appropriate song that I'm going to sing along with for Scary Jones's workout routine.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: Ready.

00:05:43
Speaker 3: Oh, can't wait for that.

00:05:46
Speaker 5: Take a break, work, take a break, work, take a break, scary, scary, take a break, take a break. I like the way that sounds take a break, scary.

00:06:00
Speaker 3: Wow, you are something else.

00:06:02
Speaker 4: Huh imagine I got that professionally done with a parody company, but I just I improvised. That's the perfect song for you. You've got to work, take a break, work, take a break, sit this one out work three minutes.

00:06:18
Speaker 3: Now you are?

00:06:20
Speaker 4: You are so funny I was waiting for. I was waiting for a full on parody of that song.

00:06:25
Speaker 3: Well, I don't have access to do that anymore. Oh well, don't.

00:06:28
Speaker 4: You have your AI creatures do it for you? You know, but it wouldn't be a parody. AI doesn't make parody. Oh well, but maybe they do if we found a company that doesn't. I'm sure there's okay. The company I use has alluded to the fact that that's coming soon now, once I can get a parody done. Ah, I'm golden. Then it's gonna be NonStop scary songs all the time. Sorry, Sorry the three people that think it's too much. I haven't done a parody in a while, so you're fine. And while I was at the parade, uh, I was, you know, just looking into the crowd. I was peering into the crowd as we traveled up Fifth Avenue. I forgot about this trend that was probably most popular maybe ten fifteen years ago, but I guess it still lives on in some places. Is I see a woman on the sidewalk walking with kids? No, she was walking with a kid kids, one of them was right next to her, and the other kid was on a leash. She was I didn't know that that they still have leash kids.

00:07:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do. You know kids?

00:07:37
Speaker 4: You know When I say that, I mean like, you know, so the kids can't roam very far. They're okay. I know you don't know kids very well. But how old would you think? The kid was? Like?

00:07:46
Speaker 3: Five?

00:07:47
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:07:47
Speaker 3: Round thirteen?

00:07:48
Speaker 4: No, not thirteen, but like you know, somewhere like seven or eight.

00:07:52
Speaker 3: But they were young.

00:07:53
Speaker 4: But oh man, I'm thinking like that's I remember that, like several years years ago, there was that trend where like the mall walkers. Their parents would have a leash for their kids, and it was like I could dog dog leash and they would You did you did.

00:08:10
Speaker 3: That with your girlfriend Robin for a while it would we track? Oh please, I don't have those fetishes.

00:08:17
Speaker 4: No, I just meant to keep her from running away from you.

00:08:20
Speaker 3: You're funny.

00:08:22
Speaker 4: Look, I never put my kids on a leash, but I can't. Look if I was someone that wasn't comfortable in New York, or I was worried about my kid running into traffic or being kidnapped, I guess is you know, it may not have been to control the kid. It may have just been to keep the kids safe. And well, the one thing I did think of is that if if you know, maybe the kid was living with autism and maybe or some other kind of something was going.

00:08:44
Speaker 3: On in special circumstances.

00:08:46
Speaker 4: If there was a special circumstance, then yeah, right then I get it.

00:08:50
Speaker 3: Maybe.

00:08:51
Speaker 4: And by the way, we're not implying that living with autism means you can run into traffic. No, Whenever you have had something, the kid may have had something that made him warp prone, he or sheem waro prone to wandering off or walking away or whatever the case. But yeah, I have not seen a child on a leash in a long time, but I guess they're not. Look if you just have your child on a leash because you think that's the way to walk them down the street. Wah, that is where I'm going with this. I really think this was this. I'm assuming it was just a family, you know, a woman with a kid, and then the other kid was just a leash child. But I don't know. Drop us a talk back. If you were you were a leash kid, I'd love to hear from you. I don't know if any of our slices are old enough to have been a leash kid. But if you were a leash kid, did you were you at least kid because your parents were worried about you, or because you run away your little rambunctious or are you a parent of Yeah, that's probably more likely. We'll get texts on that one or voicemails. So yeah, So if you're a leash parent where you use a leash, what's that like? I just I don't know, is that traumatic?

00:09:56
Speaker 2: Do you?

00:09:56
Speaker 4: Is there long term effects for that? I mean, that's gotta be that's no way to live. But I feel like Trucker may be a leash parent's trucker.

00:10:08
Speaker 3: Now.

00:10:08
Speaker 4: I feel like we we're calling these people out before they even No. No, I think that Trucker likes law and order and and and things a certain way. And you know what, maybe you know what, maybe Chad from Omaha Chad from Omaha Omaha definitely. Yeah.

00:10:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:10:23
Speaker 4: And Skyler. I think Skyler one of us like Skyler definitely.

00:10:27
Speaker 3: You know.

00:10:27
Speaker 4: I also think Julie Julie from Queen's is a leash kid. No, and I'll tell you right now. Uh uh you know No, Jamie from Queen's.

00:10:38
Speaker 3: James, I mean Jamie. Did I say Julie? Yeah? Wow?

00:10:42
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what's wrong with me today? I need I need a double shot of espresso. We'll be right back.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: Boys podcast. Yeah.

00:10:57
Speaker 4: Oh, I was just gonna say. I think Reggie is her own leash kid. I think she wears a harness and a leash on herself and walks herself around.

00:11:06
Speaker 3: I'm still I can't get over the fact that I called Jamie Julie.

00:11:09
Speaker 4: She calls she lays one hundred talkbacks an episode we're talking about this is but no, and you're an idiot, that's what you know, what's gonna say. Lately this has been happening where my where my mind is telling me something a certain way. Then then it really happened. This is this is this is a thing? Is this like an older age thing where you just well you're just fill in the blanks with other with alternate facts. Yes, yes, in fact, I gotta find I gotta find my notes here. I did want to talk about my.

00:11:46
Speaker 3: Friend paper menu because I got this.

00:11:48
Speaker 4: Like another example of that is places that I've been going to for years, all of a sudden, I just can't remember the name of it, Like, how do I How did I just blank out on the name of something of a place that I go to.

00:12:00
Speaker 3: All the time.

00:12:01
Speaker 4: I don't know, Brody, it happens. It happens when you get older, I guess. I mean, you know, I know have this to everybody. It scares me. I want to slow this down. Is there an a licksir I can take? Is this some kind of magic potion something I could drink as some vitamins? I mean, obviously the maybe I need more more of those mushrooms in my life. Maybe what was that the cortes and the jellyfish ship. This is made from jellyfish, the cordyceps and the well then the all the mushrooms. Yeah yeah aa ganda maybe now, well we'll figure that out. I I man, I'm sorry, Jamie. What am I thinking? We know, Jamie, inside and out? Wait a second, not inside, just out, because that would be what I'm saying. Anyway, My my, my friend, my friend, paper Menu has been spinning facts. Now, he's like he's a wealth of knowledge, movie quotes and I but lately he's been saying ship that isn't true.

00:13:10
Speaker 3: So okay.

00:13:11
Speaker 4: So we were talking about the movie Young Frankenstein, which is a classic Melbrooks movie. It's an old movie and there's a character in the movie named Frau Brooker Blooker. Yeah, Frau Blooker frown means Frau me is like old woman in German. And in the movie, every time they said that her name Frau Bluoka, the horse went and the joke was. The joke was that she's such a horrible evil woman that the horse trembles at the very sound of her name. So he tells me, you know, in that movie, the reason that the horse winnies every time they say, frau bucha is that that's German for glue, And you know they used to make glue out of horses.

00:13:52
Speaker 3: That's the old the old joke. Well not even He's.

00:13:56
Speaker 4: Like, so, I was like, dude, you know that's one of those fake fake stats, right, the fake fake stories. It's frou blocha doesn't mean glue. It means old lady Brooka. That that's that's her name. It would be like like Frau Jones, be like old Lady Jones. But by the way, the frow Jones hit an all time high the other day.

00:14:15
Speaker 3: Did you see that?

00:14:16
Speaker 1: Oh?

00:14:17
Speaker 3: Is that that's the dow Jones? Sorry? Oh sorry?

00:14:20
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:14:22
Speaker 3: Then he's like, Then he says to me, he goes.

00:14:24
Speaker 4: You know, I always I always remember that that expression, walks softly and carry a big stick. And I said, you know who said that, he goes? You know Joe Don Baker. Oh, I said, Joe John Baker, the actor. I said, he goes, yeah, I go no, No, Joe Don Baker was in a movie called Walking Tall where he takes a stick and he smashes a windshields, a famous scene from.

00:14:44
Speaker 3: An old So he's conflating facts. He didn't know that. It was Teddy Roosevelt. Right, it was Teddy Roosevelt who said that. I go, it's not Joe don Baker, the actor.

00:14:51
Speaker 4: He was in a movie called Walking Tall, and he carried a bat like.

00:14:55
Speaker 3: So it's like he's playing word association with himself. Right. So then there's another on.

00:15:00
Speaker 4: So I said to him, I go, I go, that frout book a thing that's not true. That's that doesn't mean glue. He says, are you telling me? Mel Gibson lied to me? Mel Gibson said, I said, I said, what are you? What are you talking about? Mel Gibson lied to you? He said, I saw an interview. Well, mel Gibson said that that in the movie means glue.

00:15:22
Speaker 3: First of all, that never happened.

00:15:24
Speaker 4: Second of all, it's me.

00:15:29
Speaker 3: That's hysterical.

00:15:31
Speaker 4: So he keeps doing what you just did. He keeps slightly altering the memories in his brain, and he keeps me's off a little bit. So once again, I'm sorry, Judy from Queen's It'll never happen again.

00:15:43
Speaker 3: Oh wait, Jennifer, I have one more paper menu story. Let me let me find out. Sounds like a party. I mean, are we gonna get him on the podcast. I want to hear this guy.

00:15:56
Speaker 4: No, he won't come on the podcast, okay, so he says, So I said, I said, oh, I have I had some some uh. I told him something right, and he said, oh, is that uh A or B right?

00:16:11
Speaker 3: And I said the second.

00:16:13
Speaker 4: Now I could have said the ladder, but I was voice texting and he voiced texts, and if I said the ladder, which is l A T T E R, it would have come out ladder a ladders rather than rather than right. Rather than saying the former or the ladder, I said the second one. So he wrote back, I'd think of you, a man of your education, would have said the ladder right, unless, of course, you're dumping it down on me. So I wrote back, I said dumping it down? Yeah, I said. The fact that you wrote l A D D E R and said dumping it instead of dumbing is exactly why I didn't say.

00:16:52
Speaker 3: The ladder correct, because you know what come out wrong? Right.

00:16:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are certain words I avoid as well, because I noticed the voice to text is at that advanced and doesn't pick it up right. It's like it's like when I'm when I'm talking about one of my dogs. Right, her name is is. I call her Mutsi, which is short for Muzzirella. But there is absolutely no way I can voice text Mutsi. You can't, so I always say Muzzirella. And if I like my cousin was like, oh, how's how's she doing? When I go, oh, I go Muzzerella is doing great, to go, oh, you're voice texting. She knows if I call her by her full name, Mutzerella, then I'm clearly voice texting and don't want to say Mutsie. I know that I can't say we are live in the morning because every time I say we are live, it always translates to we are alive. So it always so we are alive in the morning and no, no, and I've corrected it.

00:17:41
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, don't say live alive.

00:17:44
Speaker 4: We are live, we are live, and it says we are alive, and I'm like, no, I know we That's a foregone conclusion because I'm texting and voice texting you, so obviously I'm alive.

00:17:58
Speaker 3: Why would I want to say that.

00:18:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm having so many problems with check GPT, so uh, you know it does ms and ohs because it wants to sound natural. So I told I, go, please stop saying ums and ohs, and so it's say back, well, I'm trying to sound natural. Yeah, it's annoying when you ask a check GPT for a question or an answer, right, an answer to something I don't want to go Well, what you really want to do is uh, I don't want ums and ohs. So you can tell it to stop doing that. But I said something to I said, I need you to when I asked you a question, right, like, I'll say, hey, can you please tell me the blah blah blah and look, go oh the answer is blah blah. And remember if you need to know anything else, I'm always here for you. I can answer anything. I go, oh, right, shut up, I'm sorry, I go stop talking. Oh you want me to talk less, I'll talk less. No, I don't wways say another word. Okay, point take it. I won't say another word. Shut up, set up, don't saying okay. I'm getting the impression you don't want it to. It won't stop talking even though you tell it to stop talking and don't so it wants you. Once you make the prompt, it feels the need to respond back to you no matter what it is. Yeah, I go talk less. Okay, I'll talk less. I don't want to say too much. I know that's bothering you. Shut up, okay, I'll be quiet now. Don't say a word when I tell you to be quiet, don't say anything. Okay, I won't stop it yelling.

00:19:17
Speaker 3: I gotta record it. I gotta get a recording of it next time.

00:19:20
Speaker 4: But it's so, it's so like I know it's intelligent, it's annoying. And now Taco Bell has ai. Have you been a Taco Bell? Youn't gotta Taco Bell now? When you go to Taco Bell, right, it says, Hi, welcome to Taco Bell. I said, picking up a mobile water for David, And they say, oh, does everything on the screen look okay?

00:19:37
Speaker 3: They go, yes, you sound very pleasant. Drive up please? You got it? You get that? It's like, yeah, can I take your order? Can I help you?

00:19:43
Speaker 4: Like, it's not the person that he writes an AI voice, it's an AI voice. And then you get there and it's it's somebody else. It's actually a Now right now, I.

00:19:52
Speaker 3: Got a problem with Taco Bell. I'm'n tell you quick. Taco Bell story. So I don't know. Again, you don't go there, but last I usually I have a problem with Taco Bell about it four after I eat it. Yeah, I don't. I don't. Shady jew Mobster goes there. I know he does.

00:20:04
Speaker 4: So when you go to Taco Bell last month, they had the retro menu where they where they brought back stuff from the eighties or nineties, maybe the nineties, so stuff that was popular in the nineties and they got rid of it, like the Gordida was that on there? Yes, yeah, I think the god myself a Gordida crunch.

00:20:24
Speaker 3: No no, no, no no. Now.

00:20:26
Speaker 4: Look, the thing the beauty about Taco Bell is when they say like they brought something back on the menu. Ninety five percent of the time, it's just rearranging the ingredients, right. It's nothing like, you know, like they used to have lava sauce. They don't have vava sauce anymore. So if they brought that back, I'd be very excited. But usually when they bring something back, it's like, Okay, we're now going to combine rice, beef, beans, lettuce, and sour cream, but we're also gonna put in Fiesta chips, like the red strips, like the Friedo's corn chips, the hot ones. But it but like it's really you could have ordered it yourself and just changed something. Correc So they brought back the the uh.

00:21:05
Speaker 3: Bean and cheat. No, the cheesy beef burrito. Okay, now you can.

00:21:11
Speaker 4: You can order it by ordering a beef burrito, taking everything out of it, adding extra meat, adding red sauce to it, and adding cheese.

00:21:18
Speaker 3: You can.

00:21:18
Speaker 4: You can tell them the ingredients and make it. But you're paying more than you used to because you're making a more expensive thing. Even more, they're making it and then making a big deal out of it. We brought it back so quch more right. So I went and got like three a week. I love them. I couldn't have been more excited that they could. Okay, it's I drive. I was driving by Taco Bell every day. I was like, I'm gonna go get one because it's limited time only. You're like, I'm not gonna be able to get it again. So they made a big deal scary about last week. They said, we're keeping it. It was so popular of all the retro items, we're putting it back on the menu full time, permanent, permanent menu item now permanent so congratulation, short up a taco. I placed my order for Taco Bell. I use the app.

00:22:02
Speaker 2: Now.

00:22:03
Speaker 4: The thing about the app is it has previous orders, so you can just say order it again. So I clicked on and ordered the three things the last time I ordered, and I hit order again and it says there's two things in the bag.

00:22:17
Speaker 3: I go, what are you talking?

00:22:17
Speaker 4: I ordered three things, the cheesy beef burrito and the two other things, and it's not coming up.

00:22:24
Speaker 3: I look in the app. I look onto every category.

00:22:27
Speaker 4: New exclusive, online, exclusive, burritos, dollar Ma's gone.

00:22:31
Speaker 3: It's gone.

00:22:32
Speaker 4: So I so, but I'm already online. I've already like gotten into Taco Bell to place my order. I'm in the parking lot, so I like, fuck it. I'll get the two things I want. And I drive up and I say to the guy, you guys, what happened. There's a whole thing about the cheesy beef burrito. Hecause, yeah, we have it. It's not in the app. It's in the app, dude, it's not the app. Wow, it's in the app. So I take up my phone. I show him the app and I show them every category and he says, mother fuck is it corporate took it out of the app and didn't tell us. He says, well, it's still on the register. We still have the ingredients. You can still ring it up at the calendar if you want to come in. I said, now I want to come in. I want to use the app.

00:23:08
Speaker 3: He says, Here's what I'm gonna do.

00:23:10
Speaker 4: Next time you come order through the app, and when you get to the drive through, just say I want to add a GG beef beef burrito, and I'll put it into your app orders. You get the points and it's all paid for and I'll put it together. Great sounds like a great solution. Today, I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go get one. So I go, and I and I and it's not in the app. I order the two things I wanted. I go to the thing, I go, Hi, Hi, Welcome to Taco bell Ai Voice and I said, I want to order. I add something to my order and I hear, I hear, like you know, And a woman comes on because not gonna a human being, and she says, a Hispanic woman, it's important to the story, and just hey, what do you want? And I said, I want to add a cheesy beef burrito.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:23:57
Speaker 4: So I go around. There's no one at the window. No one's there, So I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. Now the hispanic woman comes over to me. She's clearly one of the cooks. She's not the drive through person. The drive through person's not there, so she must have come over, heard me saying I want to add something.

00:24:11
Speaker 3: And came over.

00:24:12
Speaker 4: Okay, so what do you want? So she comes over, what do you want? I said, I want a cheesy beef burrito. Okay, I said, put it in my order with David. Okay. So then the drive through woman comes over and says, what does he want? Now I'm sitting in the car. She doesn't ask me, just he wants a cheesey beef burrito. So the woman goes, okay, yeah, so it's just to me three ninety nine.

00:24:33
Speaker 3: Now scary, Oh.

00:24:35
Speaker 4: Oh oh, sounds like there's a price adjustment that needs to be made momentarily.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:24:41
Speaker 4: Okay, So, first of all, scary, if she's asking me for three ninety nine, she's not ringing it in because there'd be.

00:24:47
Speaker 3: Tax on that. Okay.

00:24:49
Speaker 4: So she's trying to get me to give her three ninety nine and dollar bills y'all, and then give me a penny back maybe and just tell the girl to make it and pocket the money. The money she's not ringing it in. So I say, no, no, no. Last time I was here, the guy with the beard said you could just add it to my app order, and so I get the point.

00:25:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, So she goes, I don't know how to do that.

00:25:15
Speaker 4: I said, well, the guy told me you could do it, and I don't want to buy it without getting me the points because I'm I'm close to getting a freebie, so I want the points. Yeah, I can't do that, so I said, I did. I don't want it, okay, So she was you order to be out in the second. So she walks away again. Now the hispanic girl, the cook comes over and just hey, David, I said, yeah, she was, hego.

00:25:41
Speaker 3: I said, okay, great. She gives me the.

00:25:43
Speaker 4: Bag and I drive off and I'm heading home and I said, you know what, I'm going a red light.

00:25:49
Speaker 3: I'm about two miles away from Taco Bell coming right up.

00:25:56
Speaker 4: So I said, let me check to make sure there's no salad brand in my chick.

00:26:00
Speaker 3: You know, they keep putting stuck him in it. So I reached in the bag. Scary.

00:26:03
Speaker 4: There's now three things in my bag, boom, and one of them is my free cheesy and you could you know, here's my question. Yep, you know, David Brody's an honest guy. Do I drive back and pay for it?

00:26:17
Speaker 3: No? Because she was gonna steal the money. So she was one of the women.

00:26:20
Speaker 4: The cashier was gonna steal the money for sure, right, and so and then the woman who got and then poor communication between the cook and the cashier woman, right, means advantage David Brody because she didn't they didn't communicate to take it out of the bag because you didn't want it anymore. Yeah, so you got yourself a free cheesy beat burrito in a loophole situation. And yes, and from points, but I didn't pay for it.

00:26:48
Speaker 3: You didn't pay for it. You don't need your points. Fuck that. So you you do it out the points, but you get the free cheesey bet burrito.

00:26:53
Speaker 4: And if you point to all the other David Brody, uh scenarios similar to this one, what are they gonna do?

00:27:01
Speaker 3: Throw it away? So if they're gonna throw it, if they're gonna throw it away, might as well put it in the bag and you eat it because it was gonna go away.

00:27:08
Speaker 4: I'm the same guy who always says if you walk out of Costco or Target, go back and pay for it. But in this particular case, there she was gonna take the money. She wasn't feel right going back and pats her right. No, I would not go back either. I mean, listen, you know, karma might get you. You might get struck by lightning later this week. But it's all, it's all, it's all good. So it's been really cold out this week, and I don't know, Brody, I kind of got chastised by Gandhi from our morning show the morning of the of the Veterans Day Parade. It was gonna be when you when you stole when you stole Valor. Yep, it was, yeah, it was.

00:27:47
Speaker 3: It was.

00:27:47
Speaker 4: It was really cold out, so I had my thermal underwear on and I dressed in layers. I had like a T shirt, a waffle shirt, you know, one of those like waffle sweaters, and then a sweater on top of that. Yeah, a thrmba you're all bundled up, followed by a hoodie and a jacket. And then they gave me one of those free Wounded Warrior Project jackets. So I was like, in my six layers, Oh my god, how about were six layers? You were wearing a Wounded Warriors jacket. Scary, But we had to be looking. We were on the float, so we had a uniform. So we all had a dress. We all had a dress accordingly. So yeah, so yeah, yeah, it was wearing not only not only were you waving as if you were a veteran, but now you're a wounded veteran. Well it's the Wounded Warriors Project. That was the name of the company. That mean, that's the that's the organization. But anyway, yeah, we all we all had I had to wear a jacket, a Wounded Warrior jacket because they gave it. Everyone on the float had to look the same. Brody, we're on a float.

00:28:48
Speaker 3: Yes, that's union.

00:28:50
Speaker 4: Listen in the military, people in the military often dressed the same. On the New York Mets, you know that they don't have one person that wears their own uniform.

00:28:58
Speaker 3: Which one of these people is doing your own thing. I was, oh my god, let me ask you a question.

00:29:06
Speaker 4: If if you and I, if the Mets win the World Series and get invited to the ticket tape parade.

00:29:10
Speaker 3: Write the big.

00:29:11
Speaker 4: Parade down the Canyon of Heroes in New York, and you and I get on the float. Are we wearing Mets jerseys and Meds hats and waving to the fans.

00:29:18
Speaker 3: Yes, we're on the team. Yes, we're the coaching staff. Okay we are. Fuck you.

00:29:23
Speaker 4: It's not the same, not the same that point, so I was like, put your arm in a sling. No, you know what, I'm not trying to pretend to be wounded. Listen to me. This wasn't where I was going with that. All right, listen to listen what I'm gonna say generalize. So I'm sitting there and I'm and I'm bundling up, I'm getting ready to go, and I whipped out my ear muffs. Now I got those cool ear muffs. You know, you're the ones that they'll go over the bunny ears, the bunny ear ones you have, No, the ones ariana grande bunny ear muffs. No, these are the slick ones that hug this, hug your head and you wear them kind of like Guy Fieri wears his uh sunglasses on his back.

00:30:09
Speaker 3: Yes, so when yeah, you know how so the muffs like.

00:30:13
Speaker 4: Each side covers each ear, and instead of having a band over my head like like a headphone band, it's kind of like the back of your head. It's the band lays against the back of the head and it covers my ears.

00:30:24
Speaker 3: I have them, Yeah, I have those. Yeah.

00:30:26
Speaker 4: Johndhi looked at me like, well, dude, that's gay. Can guys not wear ear muffs and be taken seriously?

00:30:35
Speaker 3: Okay? Okay, Well she's okay. First, I mean, is this another mersed conversation unfolded ear?

00:30:40
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:30:40
Speaker 3: I did.

00:30:41
Speaker 4: Okay, First of all, I don't think that gay people are known for where no figure it was a figure of speech that's gay, like TACKI that's what she meant, trust me, because I thought she was saying only a gay guy would wear.

00:30:54
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no no.

00:30:56
Speaker 4: She was not employing that, but she was implying saying that, I don't know, it looks a little weird.

00:31:02
Speaker 3: I don't know. You're a guy, her, Are you going to write a song about this?

00:31:06
Speaker 4: Should should guys wear? Should guys be wearing ear muffs? I think the only muff you should be worried about is your basic regular muff.

00:31:16
Speaker 3: But no, I think ear muffs. It depends, Okay, I wouldn't.

00:31:19
Speaker 4: And then I got think, do I know any guys who wear ear muffs? And I don't think. I don't think I know any. I don't think I've ever met a guy who wore an ear muff. They tell you where I wear ear muffs. If I go to a football game and it's freezing and the wind is whipping, I will wear ear muffs, but I don't wear the fuzzy, furry like fake fur poofy ear muffs. And if they have like a fur band over the top, I'm not wearing those. But I do wear the C shaped ones like you're talking about.

00:31:48
Speaker 3: That's what I was wearing.

00:31:49
Speaker 4: So but either way, what if I decided what if I wear decided to wear the furry.

00:31:54
Speaker 3: Ones with the headband over the head? Are you carrying your morse at the same time? Okay, see what I'm saying. Now, you're going down that road too. You're You're just as bad as Gandhi down that highway.

00:32:04
Speaker 4: No, I'm asking you what the look is if you're wearing like a giant's jersey at the football game and you put fuzzy muffs on. I'm not a fan of the fuzzy muffs on men male slices? Do you wear fuzzy muffs? Okay, specifically specifically Vinnie from Brooklyn and uh and Steve over there? Do you two guys well like I, I don't know, Will from CT definitely not uh t t.

00:32:31
Speaker 3: We're calling out all the slices on this episode.

00:32:33
Speaker 4: I love that we're actually talking specifically to certain people.

00:32:37
Speaker 3: No, I'm just want to general. I think, yeah, I'm saying Liam, Liam, Liam.

00:32:41
Speaker 4: Maybe Paul definitely not all right, shady tut definitely not predicting.

00:32:48
Speaker 3: My question is is it is there something wrong?

00:32:52
Speaker 2: Is just?

00:32:53
Speaker 4: I mean, am I breaking societal norms by wearing by being a man who wears ear mud uff?

00:33:00
Speaker 3: No? No, not at all.

00:33:02
Speaker 4: Again, I think if you wear big, fuzzy okay, do you have you ever.

00:33:06
Speaker 3: Owned a pair of ugs? Yeah?

00:33:09
Speaker 4: I wear I have no no shoes, no traditional tuditional ug boots.

00:33:15
Speaker 3: No, No, I do not.

00:33:16
Speaker 4: Okay, you could maybe get away with the brown ones, but if you go with the fuzzy ones, that's not a that doesn't really fit. If you're trying to be a typical straight male in appearance. Fuzzy ug boots. I would say no, but again I'm at the b all end all authority on masculinity. And again, uh, if you want to wear them and you're still straight, you're still straight.

00:33:39
Speaker 3: It doesn't change anything.

00:33:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, I know it doesn't, but it does it look awkward? Maybe it looks awkward. She said, how about this? How about this, ladies, female slices? Do you want your man wearing fuzzy muffs? And Reggie, Reggie, don't make a song about it, all right, we don't need to hear about your fuzzy I want to because personally, I think that there's nothing wrong. I think they look fine, especially the style of muff I was wearing, which is really just the ones that go behind your head, you know that go yeah, they tackle your ears from the back, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, Now they weren't military muffs, right, they weren't camouflage.

00:34:18
Speaker 3: Regular black ear muffs that go over my ear.

00:34:20
Speaker 4: And I gotta say, you know of the problem with with with feeling cold is in your ear ears. If you cover your ear, your ears and your face and your head is exposed, you don't feel you don't feel as cold. Okay, now when you had the muffs on the back of your head, were you're still able to wear the green berets so you could pretend.

00:34:42
Speaker 3: You were in the marine. All right, Brody, Okay, that on dunch is so funny. Oh surprise, what I didn't tell you about this? Bro good boys they not to give me staff.

00:38:49
Speaker 3: I just I just sent him a link.

00:38:51
Speaker 4: This is my friend from the It's Eric Nagel podcast who has filled in a couple of times on the Walkers and Talkers podcast back in the day, and I've I've mentioned him a bunch of times, I had lunch with him, I've talked about him there he is.

00:39:02
Speaker 3: Hey, look at this technology at its finest.

00:39:05
Speaker 2: Hello, gentlemen, how are you guys tonight?

00:39:08
Speaker 4: So, I don't think you've seen Scary since maybe backstage at a Z one hundreds jingle ball concert.

00:39:12
Speaker 3: It's been a minute.

00:39:13
Speaker 2: It's been a minute.

00:39:14
Speaker 1: The pandemic kind of broke everybody up, and even though everyone has good intentions, no one really puts the effort to want to see anybody anymore. We're just like, yeah, but you know, the pandemic, like that was five years ago.

00:39:27
Speaker 2: How long are you going to keep using that?

00:39:29
Speaker 3: We still are.

00:39:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're still using that as an excuse. It's all right, don't as Yeah. Now, as I mentioned a minute ago, Eric is the host of the It's Eric Nago podcast, another fine iHeartRadio podcast, Yes proud member. So Eric called me recently to tell me about an aggravating experience he had at a clothing store, and after hearing this, he talked about it on his podcast. I said, Oh my god, You've got to come on the Brooklyn Boys and tell this story because it's the most insane thing I've ever heard happening in a clothing store. And I know so Scary will freak the f out, yeah, because I can imagine him in this situation. Either one of us would have freaked out, and I don't know how Eric survived it. So Eric, tell us about you going to the store and what happened.

00:40:11
Speaker 1: Well, first, I want to point out the fun thing about your show is, depending on the situation, I toggle back and forth between am I more the Brody in this situation or I more the Scary in this situation?

00:40:21
Speaker 3: Wow? We are complete opposites.

00:40:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I think Brody is right on this thing Scary. You might be on the same page with me with this.

00:40:29
Speaker 4: Might I point out first of all that your mike automatically sounds ten times better than David Brody's ever did.

00:40:35
Speaker 3: So you sound great, beautiful, love your audio.

00:40:37
Speaker 4: Okay, And I'd like to point out that Eric has a professional home studio, and I'm using a microphone that you gave me from ZE one hundred that was laying around and I'm old, outdated, and I'm looking out the window behind Scary there just to see where people are parking their cars for alternate side of the street parking.

00:40:54
Speaker 2: So fantastic, sayout layout you both.

00:40:57
Speaker 3: Have there is that anyway?

00:40:59
Speaker 1: So I wanted to just go and kind of spruce up my professional wardrobe a little bit. So I was like, no, what, maybe it's been a while. I'm not really a suit guy unless I absolutely have to be. But I was like, maybe I should go get a couple of new dress shirts for my suits.

00:41:15
Speaker 2: Right.

00:41:16
Speaker 1: So I go to a place that's specifically just high end suits and what have you for all occasions. I walk in and this lady comes over I can I help you? I said, yeah, I'm just looking for some dress shirts. And she brings me to this one area and she goes, what size are you? I said, well, I need to get remeasured again, and she goes okay, and I'm thinking she's going away to get like the old measuring tape where they do the next you know you're in from shoulders all that stuff.

00:41:44
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

00:41:45
Speaker 1: She comes back with an iPad and she's asking me for information and I went, what why and she goes, well, we put it all in here to get your measurements. I said, if I knew my measurements, I wouldn't have to ask you to do it for you to put it into this iPad database, right, And she goes, no, no, this is just your basic stuff. Because then I got to take you over to get measured, and none of this is making any sense. I go, all right, so it's like I'm already a No, I'm not a member at this store. I went to a second store, which I'll get to. But no, I don't really want to sign up as a member for this thing here. She goes, oh, no, no, this is the way it's done. Okay, so fill out the information on the iPad. She walks me over to what I think is the dressing room area. It's essentially a mirrored room with a machine that scans you. And I said, what is this and she goes, well, there's instructions here on the side, and you just follow the instructions and it'll do all your measurements and everything.

00:42:50
Speaker 2: And I'm looking.

00:42:50
Speaker 1: I go, I don't want to stand in front of a screen here, which looks like a you know, a giant laptop turned vertical. There's a camera, there's these like weird and of things sticking out, and then a green light that goes through as if I'm gonna get cloned or oh my god.

00:43:06
Speaker 3: So it gets worse.

00:43:08
Speaker 1: So I said none, I'm like, I just want to get measured, and she goes, oh, they don't do that. Anymore. What do you mean it's been done for centuries. What do you mean they don't do that anymore.

00:43:17
Speaker 4: The guy of the old tape around his neck, you know, and the with the chalk and stuff.

00:43:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you want to heel ancient as hell, pull out the old measure measure, the old metal measuring tape that your dad would have. Yeah, you suffer a few cuts, but you get the job done, right, None of that. So I'm reading the little instruction thing next to this machine. You have to strip down to your underwear. Oh stand, there's there's a and I didn't notice it. There's a mat on the floor in the carpeting there for foot placement, depending on what angle it needs you to turn.

00:43:53
Speaker 2: So I'm seeing like four different directions.

00:43:55
Speaker 1: Of of of your feet placement. And it looks like those old things Whimber when you try to learn how to dance online, and they would have the things you could print out, so you're for your steps.

00:44:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:44:07
Speaker 2: So I'm like, none of this is making any sense. So I'm Marina through here.

00:44:10
Speaker 1: So you got to strip down, you're in your underwear, You're in front of a giant iPad that's recording you this green light thing is happening, and then it's telling you to move, so you're like pivoting almost like a sun dial for these different directions that it's scanning you. Right, So I'm right, I am furious with this. I don't want to do this. And she said, well, that's the only way done. I'll just go to another store. And the lady's telling me she goes all the stores do this. I said, that can't be true, not true. I was just so mad. I fine, whatever, I'll do this. And then I'm trying to talk to her. I'm like, what's the information so I can get my stuff deleted off of this. I don't want this saved in somebody's database, because if it's not not just me, who else is in here getting scanned men and women in their skivvies.

00:44:59
Speaker 2: This is happening. It's sitting on some database somewhere.

00:45:02
Speaker 3: This video, this creepy video of you, you know this of you in your underwear, Eric, Eric paint the picture. Now you're wearing no T shirt, right, you're topless.

00:45:10
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I am. I'm wearing my uh my meundies. You know, I'm just standing there for in all my glory and you know, so you don't have a six pack, right, you don't have a six pack. No, I've got the old beer ball that they used to have in college.

00:45:26
Speaker 2: So I'm standing there and it's like, you're facing this way.

00:45:29
Speaker 1: Then it says turn quarter this way, and it will not continue until it can measure that you're in the right position, because it scans you to see that you fit this silly.

00:45:38
Speaker 3: Is she watching you this whole time? No?

00:45:40
Speaker 1: No, you're in a room strors and this machine. Wow, she might as well be in there and streaming this online for everybody that.

00:45:49
Speaker 3: She might have been behind the two way mirror. But okay, it.

00:45:51
Speaker 2: Could be too. It could be an old fat like an old timy mansion where.

00:45:55
Speaker 1: The eyes pull out of the the the painting that's there, and she's watching everything that's happening.

00:46:00
Speaker 2: I'm going through each.

00:46:01
Speaker 1: Position it scans and like now it's going through its whole thing. It says, thank you, you're done. It's assessing whatever. As I'm getting changed, I hear outside the door like a like that.

00:46:13
Speaker 2: I'm going, what the hell is that now?

00:46:15
Speaker 1: So as I'm getting changed, she then kind of knocks and she says, there's your clothes are on the outside here, and I went, I didn't pick anything yet this system, once it measures you, then tells them. I mean, the person working there suggestive clothing to bring to the customer. So I go look, and there's like a peach in blue like checkered shirt that's almost like what Brody's wearing, right, but just change the white to peach, right. And I'm like, nobody would be caught dead wearing this shirt. I certainly wouldn't. I'm sitting there, I'm like, all right, I don't want any of this stuff here.

00:46:58
Speaker 2: I go, what is this? And she goes, oh, this is what it was suggesting for you.

00:47:01
Speaker 1: I said, I came for dress shirts, basic shirts, white and black that would go under a suit.

00:47:08
Speaker 2: And you know that's it. I didn't want anything this crazy.

00:47:12
Speaker 4: I love how she's just letting AI take the wheel, you know, just this computer is just the society for you of what you what your style.

00:47:19
Speaker 3: Is this and and and everyone in.

00:47:21
Speaker 4: The store has a print out of his chest size and his body type photos.

00:47:27
Speaker 1: I'm signing autographs. I'm the guy, you know. So I look at all this stuff. I go, I'm not trying any of this on I'm sorry, and she goes, oh, this is what it suggests. I said, I told you. I came in to get measured. I just wanted basic dress shirts. Now they do not have solid black dress shirts. I'm like, how do you not have that? And she goes, well, we don't have it in stock. Oh man, the black base, the two basics, white and black for a business suit or or some kind of formal occasion. You think they would have and they did. They had white, but they had one or two shirts of a brand that it felt like, uh like linen, and I didn't want that. I wanted something of a higher quality. They didn't have my next size in those things.

00:48:09
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm this is mortifying all of this.

00:48:12
Speaker 1: I went through all this. They don't really have what I want. So the lady, she said, well, I don't know what to do here. I said, well, let me look and see what else they have. I find out after a few minutes she left for lunch. So now I'm I'm they scanned me. I have no items of clothing that I wanted. I'm still looking around. She left this other kind of I don't know, yuppie looking guy comes over who works there, and he's telling, he's asking me what's going on, And I said, I don't know. I went through this whole thing. I just wanted some dress shirts. And he goes, oh, yeah, we don't have black in there. It's hard to keep it.

00:48:49
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm in there one.

00:48:50
Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, uh, and he goes, we also don't have the following. And he's talking, He's going beige, this, this, this. I go, I didn't ask for any of this. And I go, why is beige? I think beige would be in abundance because who's wearing beige as a business He goes, oh, he's like Times of Chains. He goes, in business everything, they're wearing beige shirts with these pink ties or these blue things.

00:49:10
Speaker 2: I go, no, I.

00:49:12
Speaker 1: Just want basic white and black so I can accessorize the ki color to be the prominent thing of what I'm wearing.

00:49:18
Speaker 4: What was the total time wasted here? I mean, because it sounds like because at least half an hour just to get to this point, where do you find out that they don't have black? Would you take your clothes off and stand in front of a machine that would you hard? No, not happening. I wouldn't even gotten to that point, I would have walked out.

00:49:39
Speaker 1: What I did was reading all the instructions. I took screen screenshots. I took photos with my camera phone and on the uh the information that was on the bottom of the digital screen, I took photos of that too to trace the company. And it's a company called form Cut, and apparently they're the forefront of this three D scan technology that they're implementing their technology into a lot of high end and now mid level clothing stores all around the country. Like they're making this the thing, so that even now just getting a basic measuring tape to take a note two for your arm you're in seam whatever is becoming a thing of the past, because now you have to stand in front of an iPad and get digitally scanned for this.

00:50:25
Speaker 2: So this place I walked out with nothing. I'm furious.

00:50:29
Speaker 1: I have the photos and everything, because one I'm going to go onto their website and try to find their their privacy policy and request my stuff be deleted.

00:50:38
Speaker 3: Two.

00:50:38
Speaker 1: On my way back, I come across the store. It used to be called Big and Tall, but it's called DXL now, right, So I'm like, DXL, they have to have somebody in there that can measure you.

00:50:49
Speaker 2: Right.

00:50:49
Speaker 1: So I go into there. I'm like, they've got all you know, back guy stuff. But they have they have like a clothing store. They have deals with Polo and Michael Orr or you know, yes, And so I go in there and I said, Hi, I just need to get measured for insurance.

00:51:06
Speaker 2: They don't have it either.

00:51:08
Speaker 1: In fact, they had a different system, similar but different, so it's a different company they had.

00:51:14
Speaker 2: I went to their their change rooms.

00:51:16
Speaker 1: I look to they have almost a similar setup and this thing's called fit map and you're doing the same thing there. I go, Nope, not doing this. So I go back to basics. And I know this is a problem too, because nobody wants to help you in a department store anymore. So I found them all and I went to good old Macy's and I said, there's gonna be somebody in the men's section that will some old coat in a suit is going to have the measuring tape.

00:51:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nobody in the men's section. Is this like a little body.

00:51:44
Speaker 4: A recent thing, because I mean just as recent as last year. I went to go get measured on stuff and I got a live person there at Nordstrom, and they it was the old school guy, you know, with the measuring tape and the talk and the I'm gonna have your pants now and put a pin in the thing and come back in an hour and a half kind of thing.

00:52:06
Speaker 3: Is that not?

00:52:07
Speaker 1: Oh?

00:52:08
Speaker 3: Really? Have we really moved away from that that quickly?

00:52:11
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's independent like tailor's and Men's Clothing that will do this. But any kind of store, Matt, but whether it's a box store, a department store, a high end store, they're all downsizing or getting rid of whatever they're doing.

00:52:26
Speaker 2: They're not doing basic measurement.

00:52:28
Speaker 1: There's no hand on, you know, no physical contact yeah to measure you anymore. It's all these machines that you have to give permission to have you scanned.

00:52:38
Speaker 4: What I'm wondering now, guys listening, if you're you're built like Eric and skiy uh and and not like a six pack type, would you do this? And ladies, let's say you went into Victoria's Secret or a bra store and you're like, oh, I want to get measured for a bra or whatever. Would you strip down and let this machine scan you and have the whole store know your measurements? Let us know, leave us to talk about You didn't answer the question.

00:53:03
Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's you're with us on this. I I may never buy a shirt again. Are you kidding me? No?

00:53:10
Speaker 2: I will.

00:53:11
Speaker 4: I will figure out how to measure myself. But Eric, try, you tried to get them to delete this information.

00:53:15
Speaker 3: Didn't you?

00:53:16
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:53:17
Speaker 1: I sent a request to hold on what was the first company form cut?

00:53:23
Speaker 2: I have never heard back from them.

00:53:24
Speaker 4: Because we all know that obviously it's a data collection play and they are selling your information to who god knows who. Yeah, he's gonna get like big, big and round circulars sent to his home now because they're like, oh, he's got he's got a beer belly.

00:53:39
Speaker 3: We know what shirts? You know?

00:53:41
Speaker 4: Call me Bahama, however, and how presumptuous of the system to just start choosing a blue and yellow checkered shirt for you? Yeah when you came, I mean, did they not hear you? Are they tone deaf? What's going on?

00:53:52
Speaker 1: Right? My theory with that is, you know, basic retail sales tactics that it's like, here's stuff that we either have an abundance of inventory that's not moving, or there's some stuff that we have left that we need to get out of here. Yeah, push that, this size matches, this is what we have in the inventory. This is what we're suggesting. Hopefully they'll buy and get it the hell out of our store. And looking at that, I go, I don't know what old Midwest man is buying this stuff, but it's not this guy in New Jersey trying to get a couple of dress shirts for a suit.

00:54:24
Speaker 4: How hard is it to take tape and wrap it around your neck and say, you know, you're an eighteen inch neck or a twenty inch or whatever, and your sleeves are thirty four done? Take two seconds of hearing this, I want to wrap the tape around my own neck and hang myself.

00:54:38
Speaker 2: I was just thinking the same thing.

00:54:39
Speaker 1: I was just like, I should just end this all and I'll never have to deal with this ever again. To finish up with the Macy's thing, so yeah, there was nobody, zero personnel in the men's section, men suits, men shoes. Nothing I had to go over. I think where they there's a part of Macy's where it's all the bigger clothing brand, so it's like Nautica, it's Polo Ralph, all that stuff. Yeah, I had to go pulse a lady from there. I'm like, could you page somebody to come over to the men's section. There's no She goes, oh, I don't think there's anybody working there today.

00:55:10
Speaker 2: Let me see.

00:55:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I don't think anybody's working there, Men's suits. It's got to be one of their biggest selling items, men's shoes, something like that at any department store. And they had nobody working there. And that lasted about twenty minutes before I said, I don't care.

00:55:27
Speaker 4: Also one of their big ticket items, so you would imagine that they would definitely.

00:55:31
Speaker 3: Have that area staffed. Yeah.

00:55:33
Speaker 2: Wow, nothing.

00:55:34
Speaker 4: So Eric storm out of Macy's went back and bought the peach shirt.

00:55:41
Speaker 2: Never never, ever, ever, I don't need to look this summer.

00:55:45
Speaker 3: So that's pretty gruely. I'm sorry.

00:55:48
Speaker 4: I guess that's why I wanted to have Eric one, because I've never heard a naked body scan to buy a dress shirt. It's gotta be easier than that. So I'm wondering, slices, would you do this? Would you take your clothes off and get scanned, and then they have your scans and they won't delete it. He asked them to delete it. They said, we can't delete it's not our company. So they bring a third party and who is probably not even properly vetted.

00:56:13
Speaker 1: And I'm glad I took photos of you know, the the the instructions there and the messages on the screen so I could find the actual company. And I still wrote to them and I said, I would like to speak to somebody about having my information and my photos deleted from your system.

00:56:28
Speaker 3: I have never heard that nothing.

00:56:30
Speaker 1: I forgot to follow up on that, but so you guys called me here, but I was like, that was a couple months ago, and I have never got a response from that company.

00:56:39
Speaker 4: Eric's Eric's information will now have its own OnlyFans page, so I'll have to search for that.

00:56:46
Speaker 1: What I'm expecting is, you know how I mean, almost at least every other year, I'm getting a bank alert that something happened to Target and they got my red card information.

00:56:55
Speaker 2: It's on the dark web.

00:56:56
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to like one day, I'm working on my computer and Norton pop's up with a dark web alert and says, hey, your your measurement photos have been found on several dark websites. Here, pay fifty dollars and we'll go and ask them nicely if they'll delete it from there too.

00:57:10
Speaker 3: Or even worse, AI Eric could already be amongst us. You could be Ai Eric.

00:57:15
Speaker 1: I'll be long and gone and then they'll just be a you know, just like a oh I don't even.

00:57:57
Speaker 1: I talk about you know, uh what peepe go and get really upset about nowadays for social issues and politics and human rights whatever. I take that rage and anger and I focus it on moms who post their children on Facebook with blackboards that are dosing their school and saying Hey, look, this is their teacher. Their favorite color is red. They want to be a scientist when they grow. Yes, you gave the whole address out of the school. Maybe somebody's going to come over and visit that. Stop doing that. That's where I put my anger into really absurd and annoying things.

00:58:30
Speaker 2: Energy drinks right now.

00:58:31
Speaker 1: I made one comment a month ago about energy drinks and I said, oh, somebody told me to check this out.

00:58:36
Speaker 2: So I tried.

00:58:37
Speaker 1: There's this brand called Ghost that makes has a deal with Welch's grape juice, and I tried them, Like, this is fantastic. Maybe I should look into these little more. For the last four weeks, people have been mailing energy drinks to my house.

00:58:51
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:58:51
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't see it right there, but right here is fifteen bottles sitting on here. I have another three dozen over there of different brands of everything. I can't drink this, I'll die.

00:59:02
Speaker 2: Stop sending me. So, yeah, that's the fun stuff that we had.

01:01:57
Speaker 3: About? No? But it reminds me of an old joke. What's that? Remember?

01:02:02
Speaker 4: Well, back in the day when we were in school, somebody would always come up to you and go, hey, let me ask you a question.

01:02:08
Speaker 3: So Skarl asked you the question.

01:02:09
Speaker 4: Okay, again, I didn't ask this question, but people used to ask this question. Hey, if you went If you went camping with a bunch of other people, right, and you had too much to drink and you woke up the next day and your pants were around your ankles and you were covering in male sexual fluid, and you had no recollection of the night before, right, would you tell anyone no, you want to go camping?

01:02:31
Speaker 3: Hi?

01:02:31
Speaker 4: Oh, I knew that was coming. I figured I to follow through, no pun intended. Yeah, that was that was the big joke, you know right, well, you know so so the sleeping quarters usually me and Lauren Wiener usually room together. Uh, now you're going with with five other Wieners and we and we sleep in his one of his daughter's bedrooms, which is the bunk beds.

01:02:54
Speaker 3: Oh well, well, what kind of six ship is going on?

01:02:56
Speaker 4: Well, the daughters aren't there, you know, the daughters are are are damn But yeah, it's not now.

01:03:02
Speaker 3: But it's kind of the scary files. It's kind of weird, right.

01:03:06
Speaker 4: First of all, me and Lauren Wiener sharing sharing bunk beds, I said, I said to these guys, I'm like, we're grown ass men, We're in our fifties.

01:03:17
Speaker 3: What are we doing here? I got to sleep in your daughter's bedroom in one.

01:03:20
Speaker 4: Of the bunk beds, and then Lauren Wiener is on top of me on the bed above me.

01:03:25
Speaker 3: It was just it all seems so weird. I said, All in the name of.

01:03:31
Speaker 4: About having you've never complained about having Wiener above you before. All in the name of saving a couple of bucks, I said, come on, we could just spend we could spend our money on hotel rooms. I think, don't you think this is a place to spend this squander a couple of bucks on a hotel room. You're gonna go camping with? You're gonna go camping with five guys. I imagine at least one of you guys is gonna pitch a ten.

01:03:53
Speaker 3: No, we're not camping. This is not what dude, we stay in his house.

01:04:00
Speaker 4: My point is again, and I keep saying that phrase I've been saying for three hundred and fifty seven episodes. My point is because because you clearly see things differently, so I have to reel you back in by saying my point is, forget about what your point is.

01:04:17
Speaker 3: Are you bringing your You're bringing your ear muffs? Isn't it a little weird? Is it?

01:04:21
Speaker 4: Because I feel awkward? I mean this this, This is kind of the line in the lines of the the going to see suprena carpenter alone or going trick or treating.

01:04:29
Speaker 3: You know, to the to the Halloween.

01:04:32
Speaker 4: Party by myself upstairs, and the I feel like Cowboy Trucker is having a heart attack with all the material you're giving him.

01:04:39
Speaker 3: Because you are now you are you bringing your camping merse.

01:04:43
Speaker 4: It's not a camp and we're not camping. But I'm trying to convince these guys. Listen, let's give Lloyd a break. After we do our thing for the afternoon and we go out at night for dinner and drinks, let's just stay in like hotels.

Speaker 4: I was gonna kick I'm gonna send a text message right now and cancel my plans. I was gonna cancel on Lloyd and say, you know what, maybe this is the night we go for steak dinner. No, not not not happening. But I don't want to go steak dinner with Lloyd. You're taking me to steak dinner. I'm not going with other people. Then I'm gonna end up having a chip in again or something. So what if what if that was the scenario where I invite you out with my friends and then I pick up your your steak dinner.

01:06:43
Speaker 3: Does that count as me buying you a steak dinner? Uh?

01:06:47
Speaker 4: No, because all the appetizers will be shared and everyone's gonna chip in for them. No, I want to see food tower that you promised me. I want my steak. I know, you and me steak dinner.

01:06:59
Speaker 3: That's we're in a common scenario. Were in a group scenario.

01:07:03
Speaker 4: And you can have all the tower, you can eat and all the apps.

01:07:08
Speaker 3: Are there any women there? There's women? Yeah?

01:07:11
Speaker 4: No, no, because you're gonna pay for them and me, and it doesn't seem special at that point. I want Scary Jones, David Brody, Brody, Scary alone time, steak dinner. You take me to steak dinner. I think I think it's more about you don't want to go to dinner with me. You hit the slices, my buddy, my boy. Here some other people that just killed the conversation just want to be alone with Brody.

01:07:32
Speaker 3: I get it.

01:07:33
Speaker 4: I mean, would anyone you don't want to be alone with my life? You don't even want to be alone with yourself in your own thoughts. No, I don't know anyone that wants to be alone with me at dinner.

01:07:44
Speaker 3: So it's all.

01:07:46
Speaker 2: Right, joke.

01:07:47
Speaker 3: Before we get out of here, do we have anything? Do you have anything that's pressing.

01:07:51
Speaker 4: Because I have one quick story based on our last week's episode, go for It. So I played pick a ball last night. I played pick a ball on Tuesday nights. And there's a girl there, a very nice woman, very nice woman. She's younger than me. She has a young son, I want to say, he's maybe fifteen, fourteen or fifteen years old yep, roughly, and he's very good at pick a ball. So she brings him and he plays at our level. Okay, So she's probably early forties and the kid's fifteen years old. Well, not only is he good, but he's fifteen scary, and we're all not fifteen. So he runs his ass off, flying around the.

01:08:34
Speaker 3: Court, leaping, jumping.

01:08:37
Speaker 4: So you got to be really good to beat him because you got to get the ball away from him.

01:08:40
Speaker 3: So okay.

01:08:41
Speaker 4: So at some point I got so frustrated last night I slammed the ball at him.

01:08:47
Speaker 3: Ah, and so it hit him in the leg. He wasn't hurt. Take that.

01:08:52
Speaker 4: In my mind, in my mind, I was going, you could not run that anyway. He's a good kid. Nothing worth the kid anyway. So the way, again, the way pick a ball is important to the story. The way pick a ball when you serve, you say the score, and you say the number, whether you're server one or server two. Okay, so if you're winning, you'd say, like, uh five two one. That means we have five, you have two, and I'm Server one. Does that make sense? Let explained this before. Yes, And if you're if you're losing, the other team would say two five because you have two and your other team that's right, two five one or two five to two. So we were winning seven six against this this kid and this this uh.

01:09:33
Speaker 3: I already see it coming the setup. Okay, so.

01:09:40
Speaker 4: It's it's seven six, yeah, and we and we serve and we don't score. So now I'm up at the net and he's about to serve and he says six seven, and I do.

01:09:51
Speaker 3: The hand thing. I do. I do the hand thing, the up and down hand thing.

01:09:56
Speaker 4: I go, I go six seven, I do the hand thing, and he stops and he looks, I mean like, what the fuck.

01:10:02
Speaker 3: You know that?

01:10:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, he just stopped. That's right, that's right, punk ass kid. And I got you. I got you because guess what if it was if the shoe was on the other foot, he would have done that to you. Six seven. So I six sevened him, and he just froze, like, fuck, it's ruined now because that guy knows it.

01:10:22
Speaker 3: He looked like, how do you know that? And the other woman who was playing with him, she knew.

01:10:28
Speaker 4: She starts laughing. And this kid was burned. He was burned because he was like, how does this guy?

01:10:33
Speaker 3: He was cos he was cooked? He was cooked. He was cooked. I you know what, I ate no crumbs, not boom, he left no crumbs. Oh god.

01:10:41
Speaker 4: And he had his face on his you know, his face said his face said ick. That's what his face said. But I you know what, I was father. I was father for that minute. And that's it. You're un you were unk, You're you were forever unk.

01:10:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, my god.

01:10:56
Speaker 4: So the kid I six sevened him was this kid chopped? He was chopped, chopped.

01:11:01
Speaker 2: That's it.

01:11:04
Speaker 4: Love it to troubles. Brocklyn Boys, Brocklus, Brockly
