00:00:16
Speaker 2: Episode to ninety seven of the Brooklyn Boys podcast.

00:00:22
Speaker 3: I'm scary. That's broty.

00:00:25
Speaker 2: Reminds me of X Men ninety seven on the on Disney Plus, which I've been doing a weekly breakdown on Marvel movie talk on the Geekscape network on uh on YouTube. Wow, that's very fitting. Yes, and you're on the seven. Now that you're on the Geekscape network, I'm I have no problem being a geek. It's fitting up a geek. I guess geeks in certain ways, you're a dork in other ways, I am a do I'm a dork.

00:00:48
Speaker 3: You are a dork. I am. Hold on, I'm just finished posting this story on Instagram. Oh I just posted one too for did you what?

00:00:59
Speaker 2: No? Oh, I posted something about bagels. I'll talk about the bagels later.

00:01:02
Speaker 3: Oh no, this is the Chipotle challenge. It's had a hand.

00:01:05
Speaker 2: What is the Chipotle challenge? I'm not familiar.

00:01:07
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

00:01:09
Speaker 2: Well, lately people seem to think the theory is they careful? Because I was there Tuesday.

00:01:15
Speaker 3: I had a.

00:01:16
Speaker 2: Bowl The theory is that if you have your phone out and you're recording them filling your ball, they'll give you more of that item. And there's a lot of viral videos out there that show that that could be the case, and that maybe who knows, this is all speculation that the powers that be at Chipotle said, hey, if you're being filmed, if they're doing something for ig and they're showing you filling the bowl, give them a little extra because that's good. It goes viral and more people are going to come in to buy more stuff. So as a result of these viral videos, everyone is in Chipotle whipping out their camera videoing their you know, them filling the ball and I'm ordering each item. So somebody did a parody of it. If you look at my story that I just posted, the guy he's got a fuless professional.

00:02:11
Speaker 3: Camera on his shoulder and he's filming it. He goes all right, like this Rice here.

00:02:18
Speaker 2: If you look go forward to the end of my segment of the story, Yeah, you'll see it.

00:02:23
Speaker 3: It's kind of funny. It's it's a parody. Of course.

00:02:25
Speaker 2: The guy's got like an oversized camera, like larger than his body.

00:02:31
Speaker 3: It's kind of his nineteen seventies football game camera. Yeah. Yeah, so's.

00:02:38
Speaker 2: It's basically a playoff of the Chipotle you know what challenge whatever. I went with my cousin to Chipotle on Tuesday, and I was telling her that, you know, I've had problems, So I asked for a bag of chips. I said, I want like this. You know, you make that the two fingers like you're pinching something, you I mean your first finger, like small, yes, a little little, tiny, little ty lit tinian. I said, can I get a little little tiny bag of chips?

00:03:04
Speaker 3: Little tiny, big chips?

00:03:05
Speaker 2: And she goes, yeah, which one and she points to the big bag and the little bag.

00:03:08
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So I said, you couldn't.

00:03:10
Speaker 2: Tell by the little fingers I'm making and the fact I said small begg of chips in her world.

00:03:14
Speaker 3: That might be large.

00:03:15
Speaker 2: And then if you put your fingers together all together, then maybe that means the small one.

00:03:20
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:03:21
Speaker 2: So I didn't want to get like a sarcastic podcast. I said, give me a little bag of chips. So we get to the seats. I tell my cousin, I said, you know this little bag of chips I used to get my daughter Chipotle every day when I picked up from school and would I would order a head on the app and I'd pick up the bag on the little ledge, and every damn time I ordered the kid's meal for her, they forgot to put the free little bag of chips in every time, every time. So my cousin told me that her kids like Chipotle. They get it like once a week minimum, right, she brings it home. And she said to me that if she goes and orders the food at the counter, it's normal. But if she gets the food on the app and then gets it in the bag, it's always less meat. Ah, which is the opposite of the challenge. If you're not around, they give you a ship because they think you're gonna walk out not really well, then you know they fuck you at the pick up as Joe, as you would say. But the theory is true, then it's the opposite theory. In verse of the theory is also true. If you get pick up, they're like, they're not here. The three pieces of meat, they don't have to fation. So so so there's accountability there. I mean, I guess it. I guess it does. So that that was what I wanted to ask you forget conspiracy theory or you know, managers telling their employees all that aside, if that would whether that's true or not, do you think that just the human behavior is that Okay, well I'm being filmed, I might as well. I want I want to load this up for this guy and make it look good. I don't know what more any I would like. I would like everyone to film their pickup orders, like when they get home, film it and then like if it's if it's chinsy, right, that become a thing so that they start overpacking it to go food. But they answer your first question, I don't know, because let's say you're working behind the count Chipotlee, Yeah right. And what if I'm filming and you're over stuff in the meat. What if I'm a guy from corporate, like I'm like the guy who like checks to make sure you're not over the So maybe I would think they'd be afraid to overdo it and just make sure they even do it, like even like works both ways. I think I think people are so used to getting under amounts of meat that when they film them, they get the right amount of meat and they think it's extra meat. Maybe, well, some people are saying, well, this, this video here has too many edits in it, which means he said I want double this, double that, double that, and you didn't get that on camera. And then this way, you know, because they didn't show the bill at the end or something. You know, I mean, because you could pay for double, you can ask for double, So it appears that they're getting all this food. I don't know now, has this challenge been one video or is the one hundred people doing the same thing proving the point or is one No, it's everyone doing this now. It's all over TikTok, it's all over Instagram. People are making reels about it. But I'm I'm just curious as to I mean, if I was a worker and someone was just had their camera out filming me casually, I would ask him to stop filming me personally.

00:06:09
Speaker 3: No, see, I wouldn't. I would.

00:06:10
Speaker 2: I would probably respond with a you know, I'm gonna give you a little bit more. We'll make it, make it nice for the video. You gotta do it for the gram, right, so you gotta make it impressive.

00:06:19
Speaker 3: I don't know. If I wasn't afraid of my boss, I'm not doing that. I'll tell them to stop filming me. I don't like that at all.

00:06:27
Speaker 2: A second of all, I've worked in many kitchens and managed restaurants, worked as a line cook. I would never work at a Chipotle or a subway. I don't have the balls. And plus I get fired or beaten up to like face to face with people as you're making there.

00:06:38
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

00:06:39
Speaker 2: Of all the fast food places, Chipotle is the one place I would want to work, No, because then you've got to talk to the people and if they complaining to you anymore cheese you did to put out cheese.

00:06:48
Speaker 3: By the way, speaking of people who complained.

00:06:50
Speaker 2: Hold on, think of the grimy things that you would handle and other fast food situations.

00:06:54
Speaker 3: I feel like Chipotle is it's clean.

00:06:57
Speaker 2: It's like, what do I care If I'm the cook you scoop and squak into a into a plate. I don't know if I'm watching me going Hello, faster, Hello, more thing I like? I like the client tell it Chippa. I want to be in the kitchen in the back when I can't. If I'm on the cash register, that's fine, I'll love I love customers, but if I'm the one making you food. Speaking of which do you follow? Uh siosid Pizza Sasa, Long Island. No, I think it's this Pizza Philisi Pizza pill. The owner did a video this week.

00:07:25
Speaker 3: I fill up my play? What fill up my plate? Yeah?

00:07:29
Speaker 2: No, he did a video. It's it's obviously staged because he's taking pizza out of the oven.

00:07:35
Speaker 3: Did I say this video? Oh you said this to me?

00:07:38
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, slice of pizza out of the oven and he puts it on a plate and then the guy who's filming it's staged. It's cause it's staged. The guy filming says, excuse me, my slice was to go. So the phil the owner of the place U you know on the video, says, oh, you ordered just to go? Then guess what this isn't your fucking which is hilarious because you're always like, no, excuse me, I said no onions like this isn't your burger y?

00:08:05
Speaker 3: Yeah? How did you know? Right? Right? So so all the comments, no wonder your place was empty. He filmed it before he opened, like it was in the morning.

00:08:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, customer service like that. I'm surprised you have any custom I'm never coming there again. Okay, it's a fucking one guy like there, look stage. The guy's like really, no kidding, no kidding.

00:08:22
Speaker 3: Stage.

00:08:23
Speaker 2: Another long Island, Long Island pizza. This I wanted this, this one. This one girl shout out to Phil. I thought it was hilarious. Yeah no, that's great. The Karen's and the snowflakes. I can't believe you talked to a customer like this. This one girl with a very thick Long Island accent, was defending the survey, the study that came out defending New York, saying that you know, Connecticut has the best pizza. And she's like, are you what are you talking about? This is New York. I'm going where'd you get?

00:08:54
Speaker 3: Where'd you get the slice from?

00:08:55
Speaker 2: I'll got this place, Cello's, Cello's got I got it down the street. This is much better than Connecticut. All right, Once again, if you've never been, you can't enter the chat, you can't enter the conversation.

00:09:06
Speaker 3: You have to have tasted.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: And I guarantee you this girl question no shots even knows where New Haven is on a map. Sot me ask you a question. I want to think Devil's advocate with you. Uh, here's my question to you, Scar, Yeah, what's better pizza in Utah or pizza in New York. Well, by that logic, if I want to just stay with my argument, I'm gonna have to tell you that I haven't been to Utah, so I can't make that call. But it's your bird. I see your legs shaking right now. You know, damn well, New York pizza is better than Utah. You don't have to go to Utah. No offense, right, But you're also comparing Utah with new Haven. New Haven is the you know, first of all, new Haven is it was a hotbed of Italians at the turn of the century, and they have made some amazing Italian pizza. Is what's better New brook Stout Pizza, Detroit Stop Pizza. I haven't eaten all the pizza Detroit, although I got to tell you the Detroit style with the cheese coming up the side of the pan, that that gets all nice and crispy. I kind of like it, Brody, I kind of like it too. But I've been to Detroit.

00:10:15
Speaker 3: You haven't. I have not been to Detroit.

00:10:16
Speaker 2: I can't tell you, Ben, But but New Haven makes a very good argument for having the best pizza in the country. We've had bar pizza. We've talked about this all the pizza. Oh okay, can I just say something?

00:10:27
Speaker 3: You could say.

00:10:27
Speaker 2: Anything the Brooklyn Boys podcast. You're a Brooklyn boy. By the way, I have never been I've been to Montreal, but I have never had previous to this episode. Montreal bagels, which you told me, are as good, if not better, than New York bagels. They use rose water, and they use other they use other ingredients and sugar instead of salt. Here's the well. I know you're gonna tell me. I know you're gonna tell me. No, I'm not gonna tell you anything. I I got the bagels you talked about last week, right, you got the big I got them at ten o'clock last night. My delivery showed up in the rain. I got my bagels. I got a sort it, I got poppy, I got everything. I got blueberry, I got sesame, I got garlic, I got I got a hold.

00:11:12
Speaker 3: It's not an even playfield.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: I can't even ask for your opinion because it's gonna be warped. Hold on, what did you think, Brody? I'm gonna ask you straight out, David Brody, what did you think about? So let me tell you. I got him from Fairmount. Fairmont probably pronounce a Fairmont, one.

00:11:29
Speaker 3: Of the big.

00:11:29
Speaker 2: They're one of the big bagel places, fair Mount Bagel Bakery, it's one of the Yep, they're one of the two or three top bagel places in Montreal.

00:11:36
Speaker 3: Talk to me, Brody. I have to say.

00:11:40
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go as far as to say they're better than New York bagels, but here's what I'm gonna say. For a non New York bagel, they were terrific.

00:11:47
Speaker 3: There you go.

00:11:49
Speaker 2: It's so, it's so Look, it's like Chicago pizza, it's like Detroit pizza.

00:11:53
Speaker 3: It's not the same as New York pizza.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: And they and listen, and by the way, that took a couple of days to get to you, and they tasted that good. Could you imagine if it was fresh out the oven. Well, that's what I'm saying. So here's what I would say. If you grew up in Montreal, these bagels probably like the greatest thing on the planet. Yeah, having not grown up in Montreal and as a connoisseur of bagels, they were excellent bagels.

00:12:15
Speaker 3: There you go. I knew you'd come around.

00:12:17
Speaker 2: They are better than any bagel I had in Boston. You got better than any bagel I had in Philly, or as they pronounce it in the Philadelphia area, begel. And I bet you they're better than some of the bagels that you've had here in New York. Yes, so shout out to Elizabeth at Fairmount Bagel Bakery was kind enough to put the order together for me. Yes, very easy to do, and you could by the way I ordered them. I went on the website, I called the store, and I ordered them. Anyone could do that, I think. I posted everything on my Instagram. Had David Brody on Instagram, okay, and I took I posted pictures.

00:12:49
Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say.

00:12:50
Speaker 2: You're a little bit smaller. The hole was a little bit bigger. But I found it easier to like spread cream cheese on it the way the way it was laid out. But I also had I had a a chicken burger on it today that's not I had butter on it. I had three different ones already good, So shout out. I had a scary challenged me. I did it very cool. I'm very happy that you have open mind about this, which which proves my point. New Haven pizza is not better than Jersey Pizza.

00:13:16
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't, No, it doesn't.

00:13:17
Speaker 2: It actually supports the argument that it very well could be online with New York Pizza.

00:13:22
Speaker 3: It's very good.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: New Haven Pizza is excellent. But it's all thin crossed, it's all bar pies. It's all the same. After a while, A.

00:13:29
Speaker 3: Tasty, Harry tasty. Well, we'll rest our case for this round.

00:13:35
Speaker 2: All right, it's the podcast. I just I love you, David Brody.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: I love you. You are such a creature. You're You're a creature. Habit now you I am? You are? I sent you nothing. I sent you a video. Did you see?

00:13:52
Speaker 2: Did you see the Curb your Enthusiasm video that I recall seasons ago?

00:13:56
Speaker 3: The buffet episode. Oh my god's so funny. You want to set it up because I don't want to talk about Larry.

00:14:01
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:14:03
Speaker 2: Larry obviously gets the buffet option. He's with a group of friends. Of course, Jeff his best friend there rights by the way earlier he told me what you said, Hey, Jeff, garl Carl. What's his character's name, Jeff, Jeff, Yeah, the stone Kowser. And he's got someone there a date with him. Susie and Jeff.

00:14:20
Speaker 3: Right and jee Larry and and Larry.

00:14:22
Speaker 2: Larry decided to go for the buffet option because there was a buffet there.

00:14:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ala carte right everybody else.

00:14:29
Speaker 2: But then, you know, Larry overstuffed his plate and he's like, hey, Jeff, you you know you want you want some of this shrimp or these crab legg Yes, crab legs.

00:14:36
Speaker 3: Crab legs here, have one, have a couple? Yeah, all right.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: The very second he hands over a crab legg to Jeff, the general manager of the restaurant comes by and find and catches him red handed, like, yo, excuse me, I see you. Uh you got the buffet and your friend here got a la carte. Well you can't give him. You can't give him food off your plate. So now we're gonna have to charge your friend here the of the buffet. And he's like, no, no, wait a minute, it's all you can eat. It's all you can eat, right exactly. Oh yeah, but it's not all he can eat exactly. So they get into a little bit of a you know, and then some lawyer comes in to me. Before the lawyer comes over before let's get hold off for that, Larry says, I wasn't going back up. This was my last place. I can give him some crab legs. He's like, no, you can't, and he goes, I don't know. I don't know that you're not going back. But even if he was, it wasn't going back. And he proved that he wasn't going to go back. Still, I think Jeff gets to eat eat off of Larry's plate. I think Jeff gets to eat one crab leg which is what he gave him. But if he's like, brings over a platter of crab legs for the table, like you would do for the table for the table, you can't do that.

00:15:42
Speaker 3: People do that at buffets. You can't do that. Now.

00:15:45
Speaker 2: Look, I used to go to the buffet with my parents, and my mom always got the salad bar. Well, I don't eat salad, like a lot of salad when I was a kid, especially, I ate like cucumbers, and I ate those like those crispy Asian noodles that they're like, they're very in They're like Chalmain noodles. They're always in a salad bar. I would get like a plate of those and some cucumbers. I was gonna pay for a salad bar for some couple of slices of cucumbers. So my mother would put cucumbers on her plate and some of the noodles and she'd push them off onto the butter plate and give them to me. There's nothing wrong with that. She gave me a turkey leg. Well, I just thought it was funny. I'm like, oh my god, this is such a brody move. And and Brodi would argue his way out of a paper bag.

00:16:26
Speaker 3: And you know, I.

00:16:28
Speaker 2: Would defend the person in that and that that if I would either be Larry David going, I scary, go a turkey leg? Yeah, or I would be the guy Jeff going, hey can I get a turkey leg?

00:16:36
Speaker 3: Scary you having a buffet? Give me turkey?

00:16:37
Speaker 2: I could also picture you as the fucking manager being a douchebag coming over and trying, hey.

00:16:43
Speaker 3: Trying to hustle the customer.

00:16:45
Speaker 2: No, if I thought they were Look, if I saw Larry David go back up three times and each time offloading his plate, then I would be like, hey, dude, come on, okay a hot ass. Well, speaking of buffets, you and I have to take a road trip. Okay, I'm not a big I'm not a big buffet Guy Brody. But but there's this one buffet in America. First quarter Scary War. There's one buffet in America that the listeners already know. The slices are screaming it out. They know the one. I'm gonna mention Golden Corral. Nope, it's It's it's in Pennsylvania, Dutch countrype in East Earl, Pennsylvania. I'm talking about Shady Maple, schmorgasb Board Brodie. I've been a shady Maple. You have to say Amish Country in it. Yeah, yeah, this too. It is Miller's and Shady Maple. I've been so like they're in the Handmaid's Tale. So listen, you know me and Google ratings. This place maintains a four point six Google rating with thirty three thousand ratings. The reviews doesn't matter. It's Google all about Google rating four point six. Anyway, So I mentioned it on the Big Show one day, just a fleeting mention. I kind of sneezed its name, like I want to go. I want to go see it because apparently this is this is the buffet to end all buffets, and they have such a display and so many foods. Anyway, I said it once on the air, Brody, fifty fucking people texted in, and you know that, you know the majority of the audience is in the North New Jersey, New York City tri state area. We touched a nerve with our Lancaster. Yeah, people like, Scare, you gotta go, Scar, you gotta go. You don't understand. It's a rite of passage. It's a it's next level. People were gushing, gushing Brody about Shady Maple Schmorgasbord. I know nothing about it other than I've heard from people about it.

00:18:50
Speaker 3: I've seen pictures. I looked it up. It checks out.

00:18:53
Speaker 2: It passes my scary criteria of what I would I visit this place sight unseen because you know me, I'll do that if the ratings are right and this place favors that and Shady Maples Morgas Board.

00:19:05
Speaker 3: I think you and.

00:19:06
Speaker 2: I Broti, you need to go there and we need to have ourselves an afternoon. What do you think it's gotta be near Miller's because they're about this.

00:19:13
Speaker 3: I'm sure it is. Yeah, it's in East, it's in Easter. I'll have the address right here.

00:19:20
Speaker 2: Okay, So Miller is in East Ronks okay, and I think it's next to a pretzel factory they make They make pretzels in front of you. Screw Miller's. We're going to Shady Maple. That's the one, all right. Well, it's two hours and thirty minutes with no tolls, and we'll go with your foot dollar and forty cent gas car.

00:19:39
Speaker 3: Exactly.

00:19:41
Speaker 2: It's gonna cost us more money to go there than it will uh you know what it'll be. It'll be, it'll be worth the worth the price of admission. In fact, make sure you wear your palm pockets that day. Oh you know where you the shoe your cargo shorts with twenty pockets on them, so this way you could you could shove food in each pocket.

00:20:01
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:20:02
Speaker 2: The two buffets are twenty six minutes apart. You know what that means, right? Oh, no lunch and dinner when driving out there. We might as well go to both of them. You've been You've been to Miller's and Shady Maple. I've been to Miller's. I made a mistake. I've not been to Shady Maple. Okay, they remember Shahad is hands down the winner anyway, just something to think about. Figured i'd throw it out there. Yeah, it's not a bad while we were on the topic of buffets, all right, So all right, but I got I got plenty of food related rants today. I did want to read something from a listener sent me I thought was pretty funny and it's it's it's.

00:20:41
Speaker 3: More about you than anyone. Okay, who sent this to me?

00:20:44
Speaker 2: Jackie H? I cut off the name Jackie hell h elc sorry Jackie.

00:20:51
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: She sent me a post on I can has cheeseburger. On Instagram, somebody posted a They wrote, I had a cat named Jeff. He was just Jeff. Then we hired a new guy at work. His name was human Jeff because Jeff the cat was there first.

00:21:07
Speaker 3: See human Jeff.

00:21:08
Speaker 2: Human Jeff tried to suggest we called Jeff cat Jeff, but that was obviously ridiculous.

00:21:14
Speaker 3: See it was ridiculous because cat Jeff was there first. Cat Jeff was there.

00:21:19
Speaker 2: And so in my logic continues to shine bright through this podcast. It's perfect, all right. Also online, this Facebook post was sent to me. They wrote heavy duty latter. Yes it's available. And the picture of the item is the words written on a piece of paper that says, please do not ask if this is still available?

00:21:45
Speaker 3: The answer is yes.

00:21:49
Speaker 2: I got three people asking me today if something was available. Listen, I'm not very savvy in the world of selling things online.

00:21:56
Speaker 3: As you know, I sell stuff for you.

00:21:58
Speaker 2: I'm very impatient, but I have to ask what is if something is posted and it's an active auction going on, or or you're on Facebook Marketplace and you haven't listed, what is the purpose of somebody asking if it's if it's still available or not. My assumption as a buyer would be that it's definitely available because it's still an active post. So why wouldn't it be available? Okay, I'll give you a couple of explanations. Number one, sometimes people sell stuff and then forget to take the post down.

00:22:31
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:22:32
Speaker 2: Number two, sometimes people sell stuff and then the minute after they sold it, you happen to see it and go hey, and they go, oh, I just sold it, Like figure, what are the odds though it happens I've sold things and in someone's system?

00:22:43
Speaker 3: Is it available? But okay?

00:22:44
Speaker 2: The other problem is when you go on Facebook Marketplace and you click on an item, let's say a television set.

00:22:50
Speaker 3: You want to buy.

00:22:51
Speaker 2: It says message message seller, and it has an auto complete that says is this available to message somebody?

00:22:59
Speaker 4: Now?

00:22:59
Speaker 3: You can change that.

00:23:01
Speaker 2: You could take two seconds and change it to hi, I'm interested in your item. But the default, the fault. The fault is is this still this available? And they accidentally hit the bucking moronic default, because you should say if this is available, i'd like it, or I'd like it, and leave it up to them to say it's not available.

00:23:18
Speaker 3: I see, because you're wasting it.

00:23:19
Speaker 2: You're wasting the time of everybody to go is it available?

00:23:23
Speaker 4: Now?

00:23:23
Speaker 3: You're asking Facebook to make a change.

00:23:26
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I'm asking Facebook to make a change. Yeah, I'm talking about the man selling on Facebook.

00:23:34
Speaker 3: He's selling a mirror. The man selling the mirror? Who man selling the mirror?

00:23:38
Speaker 2: Who?

00:23:39
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:23:40
Speaker 2: So that's the is this available bullshit? Did I tell you about the book I sold?

00:23:46
Speaker 3: No body? You told me you're not gonna get more than forty five dollars for that? No, talk to me.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: So some people like to bargain by telling you how you're not charging the right amount of money.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: Right.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: So I was selling a book, an autographed book doesn't matter.

00:24:00
Speaker 3: Autograph book, what doesn't matter?

00:24:02
Speaker 2: And I saw that it sold like a year ago for like eighty five dollars, and.

00:24:09
Speaker 3: Then I saw it sold for seventy five.

00:24:12
Speaker 2: Anyway, the last two that sold sold for forty five dollars roughly, but previously it has sold for seventy five hours. So I listed it for seventy five dollars and it didn't sell. I loaded it to sixty five, but I put, like, you can make me an offer as long as it's above forty eight dollars. So a guy writes me a message and says, you know, the last two sold for forty one dollars and forty five dollars. I'll give you forty five dollars and three dollars for shipping. So I said, first of all, I'm not paying. I'm not taking less for shipping that it's gonna cost me to mail the book, so forget. You don't get to tell me how much the shipping is. Second of all, it's up there for it says you can bid forty eight dollars. Yeah, I'm asking sixty five. You'll never get sixty five. You'll never get it. You'll book all sit there forever. So I wrote back, I said, I don't need the money.

00:24:59
Speaker 3: I'm not in a horr to sell it.

00:25:00
Speaker 2: I'll let us see it for a fucking year before I give you for forty five dollars.

00:25:06
Speaker 3: He said.

00:25:06
Speaker 2: Besides, the name of your account is like Mike's Collectibles, Inc. You're a fucking reseller. I'm not gonna sell you this book so you can resell it on your store, because you sell collectibles the fuck out of here. So he writes back, Well, it's just so you know I was gonna sell if I was gonna buy forty five dollars a gift for a little boy who'd really appreciate that.

00:25:24
Speaker 3: Of course, it's easy for him to come up with that story.

00:25:26
Speaker 2: Then like, okay, so you want to spend forty five dollars, then spend forty eight, which is what I would say I would take for three more dollars, Buy the fucking book for the kid you like him so much, he says. A guy, go fuck yourself. It's never gonna sell a more nuts. It's scary as hold of his seventy one dollars.

00:25:39
Speaker 3: Good good for you, Brody.

00:25:40
Speaker 2: And I messaged him what an image. I said, Look, I sold a seventy one dollars. Suck it with body and scary very feisty, very feisty man. David Brodie, Well, you know what, I had a rough week, scary. I had a rough week with Chinese food. Oh I had I had a rough I thought you were going to say, with our with our baseball team.

Do you regret what he did? He said, no, I'm proud who I am. Yeah, he said he this is the worst baseball team he's ever played for.

He goes, I look and I'm like the worst They may all the baseball okay, but it sounds like so when they guy when Steve Gellibs interviewed him after the game and he's after he said that, he goes, are you saying you play for the worst team in baseball?

00:27:10
Speaker 3: And the guy went, yeah, here's the thing he didn't.

Okay, all right, all right, but still no, still terrible, all terrible, awful. Get rid of this guy. Well he's gone well and he was having a good season. You just can't ship like that on the field and throw your glove in the stands and the people are like, oh, someone had to do it. Also just to be swept by the Dodgers, I know, but still you got to take one game out of the off of them.

00:27:48

And I see as i'm as, I'm opening it up there and the lights off, they're shutting the place down, right, So I open it up and I see it's fresh pork. Then you know what fresh pork is scary. It's like, you know, roast pork is red. Yeah, it's cured, and I know, I know the taste you're talking about. It has the red spare of meatffident roast pork gets red. Yeah, well this is gray, like just pork thrown in a bowl, like not cooked, cooked, but but pork. So basically a higher quality pork. Yeah, but I don't want that. You don't want the higher quality shit. And I just paid like twelve dollars for it, So I get it. I go back and the lights are off. I knock back, knock, knock, knock nothing. So I call the phone rings like twelve times and she answer goes, oh closed. I said, yeah, I got a question. I just ordered ROAs pork Lomono vegetables. Yeah, you put fresh pork in you by mistake.

00:31:06
Speaker 3: She says, oh, we.

Speaker 2: Don't have roast pork here. What the fuck kind of Chinese restaurant doesn't have roast pork. That is a definitive ingredient. It's Chinese food, of course, no music that's coming, that's truly. I had a craving for Chinese roast pork, so I wanted roast pork Lomeono vegetables.

00:31:28
Speaker 3: What I got was fresh pork. I sent to the woman roast pork. That was her opportunity. Scary to say to me, only have fresh pork.

00:31:35
Speaker 2: But no, she said, okay, one size. She was quick on the one size. Scary which wasn't quick on that we don't have roast pork. That's false fucking advertising. Then when I get home, the sesame chicken has string beans under it.

00:31:50
Speaker 3: Those are vegetables.

I got a fucking shit pork in my lomaine and it doesn't The whole lomain doesn't taste like roast pork lomain. You love the roast pork juice. So I quickly go on Google. I got Google Maps.

You really have wanted that roast pork fix so much so that you were willing to pay double Because I find another Chinese place nearby I've never been to. I've been to every Chinese restaurant, but not this one. So I'm like, fuck it.

And it seemed to be like like it had like a glaze to it like it was shiny, like it was like fluid in it. It didn't look like plain lomain. So like, oh, what's with this? Now my night's going to hell?

00:33:02
Speaker 3: It's scary. It was some kind of.

00:35:38
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

00:35:39
Speaker 2: There's a three D, which I believe doesn't have one of the ingredients, like I think it's maybe it's pork, chicken, beef without the shrimp. But you gotta have the four D and then it's so good. Scary the place across the street makes it also because they have to, right, I call out the Overflow restaurant where warhaps too crowded.

00:35:57
Speaker 3: You go across the street speak think of meat.

00:36:02

00:36:14
Speaker 3: You go to the grocery store.

Speaker 2: Oh here, shank de liver, the heart, the other parts that we wouldn't really ask, Yeah, things like yeah, the gizzard, the brain, yeah, the internal organs, yeah, the organs ripe.

00:36:30
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had to. I had to google it because I didn't believe it.

00:36:35
Speaker 2: They say that organ meat is so good for you, it's so so rich in protein, and it's so healthy.

00:36:43
Speaker 3: The heart is the heart is good for the heart. What about tongue? Is tongue good for the tongue?

00:36:48
Speaker 2: It says organ meats inside the internal So things that you would be like things that make us go, but the way things that make you go.

00:36:57
Speaker 3: Like liver, super super healthy, super health.

00:37:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, all that's anything that's that's packaged and sold.

00:37:05
Speaker 3: That's a that's an organ like pancreas. Yeah, anything doing that, it's I can't. I can't.

00:37:13
Speaker 2: The things I find so gross. I'm like, oh my god, there's no way this is healthy.

00:37:17
Speaker 3: For you liver. It's the exact opposite. Okay.

00:37:22
Speaker 2: So when I was a kid, there are things that you know like that, you know this thing. Every generation has food that your grandparents ate, but we don't eat anymore.

00:37:32
Speaker 3: Every generation has its own disease too.

00:37:34
Speaker 2: That's very good. It's a fury in the slaughterhouse. I got that one. I'm gonna say nineteen ninety three.

00:37:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, how good?

00:37:43
Speaker 2: Away with music anyway. So Italian people, a lot of them eat tripe, yeah, like thamus glands and they eat they brant cavs brains. But you don't eat that stuff right, no, no, but they loved it. They loved tripe, And I'm like, what do you guys do? And these are intestines. So being of Jewish descent, there's obviously a culture of food that's considered Jewish food, like bagels. But like my grandparents used to eat, borshed is like beet soup, scoop of sour cream in it, very big in Russia. Sweetbreads no, no, that's Italian sweetbreads. Is the Thamas gland something like that.

00:38:25
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:38:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, so they're like herring. Herring is like awful fish in white sauce. It looks like awful, my great. One of the things, there's some food like a deli is you can't find anywhere, but.

00:38:39
Speaker 3: Like you know what decl is?

00:38:41
Speaker 2: No decl is like chopped meat of some car but but it would be served in a tube like like and you'd slice it and slices like salami. But the ring was like it's cow and tell God, you wouldn't eat that, right, nor would like a brown gravy. You can't find it anywhere anymore, but it's delicious. But there was one thing is a kid that my that when my grandparents were not a cold cats like a platter of meats. There's always something on the platter. I thought it was named after what it looked like, but it wasn't really what it was looking like, okay, and that you know like eat corned beef, roast beef, this turkey, this pastrami. There's certain meats on a platter of meat. You don't see blowney on there. But you said there's a couple of meats, right, Well, one of them is tongue. Oh right, it's shaped hold on, it's shaped like a tongue, because why would eat it and go? I guess they like an orange is orange. So I'm like, oh, they must call it that because it's it's cut like a you know, shape like a tope, like a tongue. No, it's fucking tongue. Scary, of course it is broken toe Brody. I worked in a Jewish deli. Hello we In fact, Willie used to used to pull the pull the tongue out of the deli case. And he's food that tastes you bad. And he used to he used to wiggle it up and down and the tongue used to blow. No, no, no, no, no. It's a giant ass frigging cows. You're a big sex move. You know.

00:39:59
Speaker 3: I didn't tongue was tongue. I never tried it.

00:40:03
Speaker 2: I ate it when I was like six, But you right, like you, I wonder if that's like a cow's tongue.

00:40:08
Speaker 3: It looks like a.

00:40:09
Speaker 2: Tongue, and it is a tongue. And they and then and they put it on the cold cup. Slice, slice it thin. It's sliced thin. It doesn't look like a big like a big thing a tongue in the meat.

00:40:19
Speaker 3: Case, Simmons, But they pull it out of the meat case.

00:40:21
Speaker 2: It's a freaking giant ass tongue and they just put it right on the slicer, which is that's not like so my generation, our generation, if you order deli, no one's like, yeah, give me a quarter pound of tongue. Nobody does that anymore, Nobody eats that anymore. Yeah, well, it's somebody listening, you know, Monoch comes listening. Yeah, he's gonna leave it talk. Of course, of course it's lost on the older generation. Just like tripe. My grandmother used to make that for my great grandfather, and it was it was in an orange sauce with peas all the like why peas, there's like grins, but peas and everything to give it color. I don't eat color in my food, but the thing is above all things to eat tripe with.

00:40:59
Speaker 3: It's like tripe, and it's.

00:41:00
Speaker 2: Like, okay, little green, he's in the middle of a rice bowl. I don't know so that the thing can be red, white, and green.

00:41:06
Speaker 3: We're just throwing it there. I don't know.

00:41:09
Speaker 2: Oh, when we come back, you're not gonna want to hear this. It's another food related story. But oh we have we also have to we have to release an explanation slash apology. You're gonna be like, Okay, I thought you were going to say release a gas gas like, oh no, I do that when we record together, we're doing the commercial breaks.

00:41:32
Speaker 3: We'll do that right.

00:41:33
Speaker 2: Then, boys podcast, we will be right back. So this is today's May thirtieth Thursday. Mm hmm, big big day our If you look in the New York Times, there was an article today written by very famous food critic Pete Wells. Oh, I know Pete Wells. By the way, you just said if you look in the New York or if you look you didn't open up in New York Times today.

00:42:03
Speaker 3: I looked online. It was a New York Times dot Com.

00:42:06
Speaker 2: Got of shout out to shout out to one of our favorite slices, Jody Winning. Oh. Jody sent me the article. I talked about it on the air very briefly today. This is more of a plea because party, you're not going to want to hear the story. It's basically, you know, our favorite old school style coal oven, one hundred year old pizzeria to Tono's in Cody Island. Yes, I saw people pick posting pictures on Facebook. It's been open Sin's nineteen twenty four. It's been in the same family all those years, and that coal of one of the first pizza places in America, yep, and it's cranked out that in that coal oven. And by the way, the place, the digs haven't really changed much in that place over the years. They changed the sign.

00:42:47
Speaker 3: That's much.

00:42:48
Speaker 2: That's pretty much it. Not a whole lot inside has changed. They put semolina crumbs on the bottom of the crust. Well, the the grandchildren who run it are saying that they're getting up there in age now and they just they're short staffed and they just can't do it anymore. So they're looking for either an investor or a buyer of Totono's. Otherwise, the one hundred year old beloved to Tono's with that original coal oven pizza is going to close if they don't find someone to save it.

00:43:22
Speaker 3: And over the years we've gotten.

00:43:24
Speaker 2: Behind a lot of businesses on the big show to try and save just to create awareness, because there's got to be somebody out there with deep pockets that wants to turn a profit. By the way, this place, this isn't one of those places where you're like, oh, I remember going there as a kid. They don't go there anymore. And well, that's the reason why they're closing, because nobody goes there anywhere quite the opposite. They still get the crowds. This place is a gold mine. It prints cash and it's still it's still thriving. But the reason for its potential demise is because the family just feel like they can't do it anymore. And that's the saddest reason for a business to go to go belly out, so one of the status. Yeah, so here's what I would say. If somebody took the oven and moved it in one piece to another location, I'd be okay with that. Yeah, But there's something about island and the nostalgia and going over there and.

00:44:20
Speaker 3: But scary it's on it.

00:44:21
Speaker 2: It's on a ship street surrounded by ortal body repair shops, but it's but the there's no park. The reason that it's going out of business has nothing to do with lack of sales. That someone's gonna invest a million dollars in this property, I would get the hell out of that location. That being said, if we're not talking about moving it, somebody's.

00:44:40
Speaker 3: Got to buy that location.

00:44:41
Speaker 2: They gotta somebody's gonna come to the rest of the pharas should never stop being in existence.

00:44:47
Speaker 3: Right, So.

00:44:50
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's someplace wherever you are, slices, there's some place in your town or in the town over that you're like, oh, if.

00:44:56
Speaker 3: Millie's ever closes, oh my god.

00:44:59
Speaker 2: Right, that's like Millie's grandson is running Milli's for seventy years.

Speaker 3: And these are the kind of places we're talking about.

00:45:06
Speaker 2: And that's what this is to us. And I know it's very local, but but we are the Brooklyn Boys podcast. This is in Brooklyn and it's an institution. There's pizza and a logo and skate. When was the last time you were there?

00:45:17

00:45:21
Speaker 3: Longer than than I've had Chinese food. Well, you think you know a guy no Chinese food?

00:45:28
Speaker 2: You haven't had Chinese food in five years. But anyway, if I go a week, I feel like I'm on a diet. If I go a week without Chinese but I feel like, no, I've turned over and I had a wanton here and there. I have, but that's not I haven't had a full Chinese food meal. Oh. I haven't been with a woman in three years. I mean I had I had. I had some boobs in my mouth, but I have been with a woman. I grabbed some ass, my hands got a little frisky.

Speaker 3: I've been with a woman.

00:45:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, you dabbled with some wantons, some boobs, same thing I didn't want, and you didn't get the rest of it. There was no more food after that. Did you got some bougie place they had like French wanton soup? Well, no, the River Palm Terrace in in up River, I'm sorry. Up in Edgewater, New Jersey, which what you told me, You're gonna get me in the best steak and the best sushi. They also make a mean wanton soup. So I've had wanton soup there. She had wanton soup from a steakhouse, yeah, which was excellent, which didn't make it any less than I would have had it in a Chinese restaurant.

00:46:29
Speaker 3: I say, that's a little strange. No it's not. Oh yeah, I was at PF. Chang's.

00:46:32
Speaker 2: I had a sausage pizza the fuck out here. You know some Chinese food over at the steakhouse. Don't knock it till you try it. That's like when that's why people go to Chinese takeout food places. And they get chicken and French fries.

00:46:46

00:46:50
Speaker 2: Wan tons in a steakhouse. Yeah, I was over at the Mexican place. I was getting mansabol soup with my tacos.

I swear to you, Brody, the sushi is as good as this. You need a sushi course in this steak restaurant. You're gonna laugh, but it's true. Don't knock until you try it. I feel like you need to go to a Chinese takeout place and get some Chinese food. I said what I said, Nope, take out place for steak.

00:52:13
Speaker 3: They're gonna stop before dinner.

00:52:17
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if I wasn't doing this podcast right now, i'd be writing that car with them gaining some like five pounds because when they eat, they they do four hour meals.

00:52:27
Speaker 3: I can't keep up with them. That's the crocus. Do you even know?

00:52:31
Speaker 2: Do you even have I ever laid out what they do? First, they'll go, they'll show up at place. They'll go to the bar. They'll sit down, they'll have a whiskey whatever it gets, a whiskey drink, yeah, and a vodka drink. DEVI will sit at the table and then we'll order maybe a cocktail. All right, now you're order starting to order food. He's got to order bottles of wine with the dinner, whatever it is. He's got to do a white, got to do a red.

00:52:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm out. Yeah.

00:53:00
Speaker 2: Then after that, gotta have a little espresso with some sambuca in it. So there is a more liquor there, as they said, the neighborhood o zambo, a little zambou or anazette. And then after that they have to have groppa or that. After dinner drink like a Hennessy or some friggin Covasier, whatever the hell it is that they serve in those small glasses or a glass of port wine.

00:53:26
Speaker 3: A little yak.

00:53:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I end up doing after I having a dinner with them. I yak, I find a bathroom because the four hour ordeal. And then we leave and guess what, we uber to the next place. And now you got to have a drink at a bar somewhere else. So and all this starts with a beer at cityb stro roof. So you tell me if these guys have problems or not. First of all, there's no way I can afford wife, kids, college tuition, diapers, anything other than my freakin yeah rent that I pay every month because my food bill is through the roof. Because I hang around with these clowns, just saying, yeah, that's why you don't have kids, right, That's why I don't have kids. That's why when do we want to do the serious talk right after we take this break right over here? Okay with Scary and Brodie. All right, Okay, so last week Scary told a story about a friend of a friend that we believe to have been at the time a straight male married to a straight woman. And we recently found out that this friend of a friend, well he's a friend.

00:54:45
Speaker 3: I want to say, he's not a friend, he's a friend of ours. You were shocked when you found out.

00:54:50
Speaker 2: That he's now in an open relationship and he's by and scary, and I were shocked by that. Not that there's anything, as the expression says by Jerry Seinfeld, not the same wrong with that.

00:55:02
Speaker 3: We could have been.

00:55:02
Speaker 2: We could have found out he was a murderer, right, yeah, we could have found out he was a bank robber, not that those those are bad, though those are bad things.

00:55:08
Speaker 3: Don't do that.

00:55:09
Speaker 2: We could have found out he's a violin player, Like he plays violin.

00:55:12
Speaker 3: I got questions.

00:55:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll stop right there for a second, because, to be clear, the whole reason why I brought it to the podcast and the and our big show was because it was news. Okay, it doesn't matter what the subject matter the news was. It was something that I didn't know before, been like a juggler. It could have been anything. It could have been. Hey, by the way, I'm a fucking porn star now and I'm in five films.

00:55:37
Speaker 3: You didn't know you haven't seen me.

00:55:39
Speaker 2: The whole point is catching up with someone after finding out after ten years you haven't spoken to It's like, it's like it could be anything, or hey I'm in jail, or hey I'm down on my luck or whatever I do, my house burned down.

00:55:51
Speaker 3: Whatever is news.

00:55:52
Speaker 2: The news is the news, and it's a surprise because you don't expect it. And for me, that's the only reason why I brought it to the podcast, and I did not make so it's also slightly off the beaten path. It's not common, right, And it's like it's when we talked about It's like when we talked about the uh Siamese twins, they what are they? Conjoined twins could join twins? Yeah, conjoined twins. Siamese cats get offended. So conjoined twins. Everyone's like, Ah, how do they have sex? Who has this?

00:56:21
Speaker 3: What goes in that hole? Have question questions?

00:56:23
Speaker 2: You have questions, and and I would imagine if a conjoined twin excuse me, I imagine both conjoined twins would be listening. Well, it's when I had headphones on. They might call in or write us and say, you know, guys, there's a lot of things you don't know about conjoined twins and personally said some things a little a little offensive. You may not have realized it, never intended to do that, but you said things that may have been offensive to conjoin twins. Now nobody listening to this podcast is a conjoined twin or was offended enough to write an email or that caught up on us saying something wrong. And I'm sure we said something wrong, and people know we're not malicious. We don't deliberately hurt people. We don't deliberately shit on people that are but you know, you know whatever. So we had a very thoughtfully written email from someone who wants to be referred to as A. Was an A A A A okay. A said that they are part of the LGBTQ plus.

00:57:14
Speaker 3: Community, should wed No, I don't. I don't think it's okay unless it's a part you want to paraphrase. Oh no, here, I'm trying to.

00:57:23
Speaker 2: And what she said was she loves us, she knows everything we do comes from a good place. But as someone who is in that world and has friends who were by, and we may have made some commentary that seemed less than knowledgeable. Now I'm not going to say we aren't less than knowledgeable. We are certainly less than knowledgeable because we are not in that community. Now, we all have friends in those communities, but that doesn't mean we know everything. However, I want to make sure it's clear from both of us that we were not making fun of him. And again I also made comments about someone I know. I think I mentioned there's sort of a celebrity who is now dating I always get I see again the terminology. I always get it wrong there. I believe they are dating a trans woman, right, And I made reference to the fact that the trans woman had a penis, And I didn't know that my friend was into men or or penis or whatever. And again it's and you're assuming couples, but some couples it's.

00:58:25
Speaker 3: It's I was.

00:58:26
Speaker 2: I was instructed and learned and educated that it's not about the private parks necessarily, it's about the relationship. Let me clear up something. In this particular case, the person I was referring to actually is into the male anatomy, and it wasn't a He obviously loves his wife but also does not have a problem.

00:58:48
Speaker 3: With and is a fan of all of it, all of it men and women and his wife.

00:58:53
Speaker 2: And I don't, I don't care making it an open relationship and making him by in this They're not the one the second couple I was talking about. It not the couple that I was talking about was they are. And I think in retrospect, I think he may have said, you know, I kind of want to also have relationships with men, but we're married. No way to do that is to have an open relationship. So in order for him to be able to sleep with men, also, he gave her permission to do whatever she wants.

00:59:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I don't. I don't.

00:59:22
Speaker 2: Maybe it could could have been a compromise. We don't know the details. But let me take read an excerpt. So she writes, why, First off, why is scary making such a big deal over a guy being bisexual and in an open marriage. Why do you feel the need to be enamored and judgy to the individual it pertains to?

00:59:41
Speaker 3: Now? I was not being judgy, There's no way. I don't.

00:59:44
Speaker 2: If you listen back to that no shot, enamored? I mean maybe, but is that a bad thing? Like, I'm actually intrigued. I'm curious what does enamored mean to you? I don't know anyway. People just want to be happy and have fun. I don't see why Scary is so engulfed in it unless the individual is asking Scary to join in.

01:00:09
Speaker 3: I mean that would be a party if he did.

01:00:11
Speaker 2: But you know, but no, I mean Golf did it because once again, the whole gist of the story, and we don't have to really explain ourselves. We're just being nice ted. We don't know the guy.

01:00:24
Speaker 3: We know. We don't offend anybody. I'm I'm pretty sure that on.

01:00:28
Speaker 2: The last episode we didn't defend anybody, but somebody was offended.

01:00:31
Speaker 3: That's why we hence.

01:00:32
Speaker 2: Declared can't be sure we didn't offend anybody. I would say a was more felt the need that she felt the need it was.

01:00:39
Speaker 3: Important to educate us.

01:00:40
Speaker 2: So look, I don't want to spend too much time on this, just that we we're all learning.

01:00:47
Speaker 3: Things are new to everyone.

01:00:49
Speaker 2: Yeah right, and so we you know, but uh, we gonna listen, this podcast is going to continue to be amazed by things that are different. Yes, always, we are going to continue to create fun content.

01:00:59
Speaker 3: And we're going to continue to bring it.

01:01:00
Speaker 2: And if I find out, you know, in five years that Brody is a hermaphrodite U and I want to bring that on the podcast, or he wants to admit. You know, Brody, tell your story, live your truth, and we should. It's okay for me to be surprised by it, but don't confuse surprised and with judgy, because I'm not being judgy.

01:01:23
Speaker 3: That's all.

01:01:23
Speaker 2: Now, it did continue, and I want you to defend yourself here, Brody. Secondly, I'm astonished at Brody's views towards trans women and guys dating trans women. Guy dating a trans woman are pre bottom surgery does not necessarily mean the guy is gay or bisexual. Are you saying that a trans woman is not a woman. It is more like that a bisexual male will be attracted to a trans woman down below, but they are not always two in the same Again, learning experience, I guess right. But see, as a straight man, I was under the impression, I guess mistakenly so that you would need to be somewhat open to the idea of another penis in your bed to be involved in a relationship with someone who has a penis, male or female or whatever whatever the terminology. So to me, I found that to be interesting. Again, I didn't say I can't believe or what I listen. If the worst thing I do is assume that a straight guy is by but I don't think there's a problem with that, then that's an education in terminology. That's not I thing I need to apologize for. That's me not knowing. So now I know and I but again, I gotta be honest. Slices and a A and the rest of the slices. I and I'll most people in any any situation. If you I'm Jewish, if you are not Jewish, you may say to me, for instance, scary on Yom Kapor or as people aren't you as say, young kipper, you here, it's a holiday, scary You go, hey, hey, have happy, young kipper, right, because you think you'd.

01:03:06
Speaker 3: Be in a nice life.

01:03:06
Speaker 2: I think of nice because he usually happy goes before holidays. And you're like, WHOA, Well, you don't get poor the day of atonement when you think about the people you've lost in your life and you repent on your sins and you think about the bad things. Right, Okay, it's not a happy day.

01:03:19
Speaker 3: You fast, you punish yourself for your sins.

01:03:22
Speaker 2: So maybe in this case, Brody A was trying to say that, Hey, look I.

01:03:27
Speaker 3: Said happy young kipper. Something you said that. You said happy happy youm.

01:03:30
Speaker 2: Kipper, And it's like Memorial Day. We just had Memorial Day. Oh, people say happy Memorial Day all the time. Memorial Day is a day that you can have fun and you can barbecue and go to the beach, take a three day weekend. It is a happy day for a lot of people.

01:03:45
Speaker 3: But the day.

01:03:45
Speaker 2: Itself is about remembering the enlisted men and women who died to give They gave their life the ultimate sacrifice for this country.

01:03:54
Speaker 3: So you know, have a great day.

01:03:57
Speaker 2: You know, if somebody says enjoy the long weekend, I'm fine with that. Enjoying them a World Day weekend, I totally okay, because you're saying it's a long weekend, you should enjoy yourself. But if somebody actually at least not knowing the case, says happy Memorial Day.

01:04:11
Speaker 3: You might say you might.

01:04:12
Speaker 2: You might comment on Twitter and say, hey, look, I served in the military, my father died in the military. Whatever, blah blah blah. I don't think it's appropriate, but there are some people think it is appropriate. So I can tell you the person I'm talking about is a comedian, a professional comedian, and so knowing him, he wouldn't give two shits what I said about him, because he says it about himself.

01:04:34
Speaker 3: Right, he doesn't know what don't be off for other people?

01:04:37
Speaker 2: He well, no, no, she's being offended for her community, just like what went right. But there are people in her community that she didn't say she was offended. She was surprised at the terminology, but there's can be people in her in her community that are listening or listen and didn't think anything by it.

01:04:54
Speaker 3: You know, they oh, whoa, whoa, what do you say by it? I mean, b I be what? Okay? Okay, Brodie, Yeah wait, that's I just wanted to click up.

01:05:01
Speaker 2: We're moving on, you know, we are. We've spent we've spent quite a bit of time on this, but we knew we can't.

01:05:05
Speaker 3: We care about you.

01:05:06
Speaker 2: He made it a point to say, she still a fan, loves us, and he bought merch from the a lot of merch from the merch store, which we love even more. Yes, okay, but just know, and I think two hundred ninety seven episodes later, I think everyone listening to this podcast knows the characters we do our best, the characters of who we are overall. Now, do we have time for that video I told you about before with the door on the cruise. I thought you were going to talk about the video or the video of the the guy uh in zoom Court.

01:05:40
Speaker 1: You want to.

01:05:42
Speaker 2: Swingers of the guy in zoom Court, We'll do the zoom court Zoom Court. We'll save swingers. So start as a follow up to it possibly saying the wrong things about our friend who is now bisexual in.

01:05:52
Speaker 3: An open marriage.

01:05:53
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about swingers on the next episode, yes, And I'm sure we're going to say the wrong thing about stuff of chorus.

01:05:58
Speaker 3: That's what we do in the Brooklyn This podcast, speaking of on purpose this this.

01:06:02
Speaker 2: Is scary video that he said he saw yesterday and they talked about on the Elvista in morning show this morning. It's one of the funniest reactions I've seen on a video, natural reactions in a long time.

01:06:15
Speaker 3: Scary. Do you want me to set it up? Going to set it up? It's just it's it's preposterous what I saw.

01:06:20
Speaker 2: It's everywhere I saw it on CNN's TikTok for Instagram.

01:06:25
Speaker 3: Well, there was there was three cameras.

01:06:27
Speaker 2: There was there was a prosecutor or defense, there was a defense attorney, a judge saying, well, you can see it though I saw it on the CNN TikToker. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, judge it. There's a real judge. He does a show called Judge Cam like a camera like right, So he's on, he has a he has a program. So everything was being filmed and a guy had an appointment. He had it hit an appeal. He was appealing he got pulled over for driving with a suspended a zoom room and camera one is on the judge, Camera two is on the the attorney, and camera three defend it. And the reason they're having a zoom call is that the lawyer was obviously defending the man who was driving with a suspended license. He had a court appearance which they were willing to do on a zoom call. And uh, they go live. The zoom call starts. They're all on zoom and the and the judge says, are you ready to go? And he says, yeah, let me hold on a second. I'm pulling up right now to my doctor's office. I'm gonna be there. Hold on one second, and I'm pulling over right. The guy has a seat belt on, he's trying, he's in a car. He's right there, give me one second. I'm pulling over now. He says, all right, So are we here to talk about you driving with a suspended license?
