Speaker 1: Guess guess who've just got five today? They're Brooklyn moz that had been away. They both have so much to say. You know their names of Brody and Skiring the boys. Oh yes, Episode three sixty six of the Brooklyn Voice podcast. I'm Scary Jones along with David Brody. It's been a few minutes. It's been a few minutes. This is episode three sixty six, and we're recording this on two two six, two six six. Yeah, today's two twenty six rather twenty six twenty six. Yeah. I like that. I know people are running out to play numbers today. You play twenty six and two and yeah, you know you love you love numbers. You love three hundred more episodes. Scary will be an episode six sixty six. Oh perfect. And you know how long that will take us? On average? About six years? Probably. Do you? Are you superstitious with numbers? You know? I'm not you and your angel number? No? But do you play? You don't? You don't play numbers like if if if numbers come to you during the day, you don't just rush out and buy a lottery ticket. Numbers come to me, No, I play. I play my family's birthdays like no but let's say something, just like something in your day, like a number just appears in front of you or something. You know what, this is a sign I'm going out to play the lottery. There's no signs. Nobody's giving me signs to go play the lottery. I play my, I play my my birthdays and anniversaries and stuff like that. I don't, I don't, Uh what am I gonna? Oh? I paid eleven dollars and eleven cents at the grocery store. I gotta play that number. No, I'm not that person. Okay, But when I when I worked in and when I worked in a restaurant in Brooklyn called Rolling Roaster, then you'd give people receipts at the register, and they would have numbers from usually from zero to to nine hundred and ninety nine, and it would start over again. Sure, and so you go, okay, your numbers two seventy five, weaight at the counter, or you know, we'll call you when you know when your food's ready. And inevitably, when I saw, like if I was at like uh four forty two, right, I would say, okay, here comes watch in two more customers. I would tell people go someone's gonna get four forty four number, It's like, okay, so you know it's full forty four, it's good number. Gonn plut a number. It's so predictable, and then like I would see them again, like a few days later ago did you win? No, the machines don't know what a good number is. This it's the same odds all the time. So I listen if that makes you happy, and you run out and play the lottery and whatever because you saw correct, terrific, whatever makes you happy. I mean, I feel like I feel like I need to pick my own numbers, and I'm I'm luckier that way than with them with an auto pick. Oh, so when did you win the millions? Right? Exactly what you say? You were luckier with the No. I just I feel like I feel like there's you've a better Some people have a feel like there's a bet it's a superstition. Of course, there's a better chance of winning, uh if they let the machine pick it. Some people they feel like they need to go to a specific store to buy their ticket because you know, maybe that stor has had a lot of luck and a lot with a lot of winners. You know, over the years, the machines don't know that. I know that, I know, we know that. You and I know that, but it's it's it's fun to dream. A number of years ago they were they were saying that like the most frequent numbers that come out in the fewest numbers, and like, oh, I'm making this stuff this part. I was like, oh, eleven comes out the fewest of any ball in the in the power ball to be like eleven's do the balls don't know that exactly. It's still the same. The eleven ball isn't going get out of my way. It's my right, you know that. You know. I think we might have spoken about this many episodes ago, but haven't we spoken about the roulette on the roulette wheel. The gimmick they do these days is they put up a huge you know, light up led with the hot numbers, right and the cold numbers, so like, well, number number twenty has come out the most. It's a hot number. It's come out to you know, or the number four is cold and they show you all the cold numbers and all the hot numbers. But but it means absolutely Jack Dick, Jack Dick, Yeah, Okay. The typical gambler's fallacy is if I flip a coin scary, let's say, eleven times, and it comes up heads eleven times. Yeah, and I'm gonna flip it for the twelfth time. Yes, would you double down because it's still one out of two? Right, the coin doesn't know you had eleven heads in a row even though law of averages, no, no, it's not the it works. The coin is fifty to fifty every time, right, every time it doesn't. Oh, yes, over the course of ten years and flipping it, it's gonna come out relatively even. But on that one flip, it's still fifty to fifty. By the way, episode three sixty six, speaking of numbers, I already know this episode is going to be good. You know why. Why is that because on Slice Time, which we did yesterday, you'll hear Rock and Steve from over there over there. I'm calling about episode three sixty six, which we hadn't done yet, but he sounded like it was pretty good. So I'm assuming somehow he heard three sixty six before we recorded it, in which case this is a good I mean, I always thought he was from the future, so well he's from somewhere now. I did mention on the Brooklyn Boys Slice time that U. I teased you all that I sold my sofa. It's over. Mentioned it on the beach is over. It's over. It's over. Sofa is over opha. That's why you can't call it a couch. The couch is what the couches. The couch is right. But I'll say that I mentioned it on the Big Show, and I put it up on a website, on a one of those antique sites. Remember, no, you you were making fun of me. You said that it's not an antique, but I put it on. I put it, and you put it in front of the antique crowd, and the antique crowd saw it, and within three hours it sold for twenty four hundred dollars. Holy shit, I guess you should have charged more. Exactly, well, that's exactly it. I went to an interior designer who I know, and I said, I put this up on Cherish, which is the site, not a sponsor. I said, yeah. She goes, I said it sold within a couple of hours. She goes, oh my god, you probably should have listened it for thirty eight hundred for a little hire, because people are going to try to chisel you. You know. She didn't even do it. She didn't give me the all or best offer. She didn't even message me. She'd even like, oh my god, this sucker's selling it for twenty two hundred and all of a sudden, I'm a sucker. You all will like bitching saying that thing's not worth more than three hundred bucks. Throw it away. She's a bigger sucker. Wait does she sits her ass down on that couch and her back breaks, Get the hell out of here. She's gonna love it. I'm sure she's loving them out. It's acted. Do you know what. She's probably some old lady, and that couch is for They don't go in that room. Room. Maybe you know, I shall put plastic over it and no one will sit on it. It's a quality sofa. In fact, I was down in Costa Rica when I had to have it delivered. I handled none of it. My brother came here, he sat in my apartment. They gave us a two hour delivery window of when they were coming to pick it up. They wrapped it up in a bunch of a couple of blankets, and they hauled the hell out of here and didn't I didn't pay for that. How much did you give your How much you give your brother for house sitting and couch sitting? Oh, my brother and I we do favors for each other all the time. I didn't have to give him any money. Yeah, well you would sit in his house waiting for the front of you guys to come. Absolutely, because that's what brothers do. Oh you wouldn't. It's called it's called brotherly love to you and your brother? Are not brotherly love, guys? You are? We are, and you know what and you know what exactly why I didn't call you for the favor, because you would I would have done it a handout. No, I would have expected you would have bought me lunch while I was sitting there. Exactly. It's a production with you every time, no production. You go. You got little grub Hub for me. That place we got chicken and French fries from that one time I was there, the Broad chicken and rib crib. Yeah, that place was good. That's all you had to do was get me some chicken and rib crib. Shit. I would have been happy. I don't need money, I need some food though I'm sitting there. All you got your refrigerators, broccoli and ten thousand dollars peanut butter. Well, uh yeah, so thank you shout out to Cherish. Now it's also highway robbery because they took forty percent of my money. So I wish. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not getting I don't know if you heard that, but forty goes to them, that's in their pocket. That's a problem. So I'll make fourteen hundred off of the damn thing. Fifteen hundred? How much was the website? I suggested? How much were they getting twenty No, I don't even know. But but it's it's neither here nor there. I proved everybody wrong, including the morning show. Now I had to suffer through, you know, you know, I think I needed to, you know, see a therapist after all the beatings that I took on this podcast. Maybe when you go to the therapist, they'll have a comfortable couch you to lay down on. Maybe that, you know, I had a deal with the Big show. Everybody bitching at me. I had people texting me making fun of me. That's all. It's, you know what, I know, I know what what what the damn thing is worth? I mean, obviously it was worth more than I thought it was worth. But uh, yeah, so it's gone included like fourteen hundred roughly. Roughly. Yeah, I gotta say, Brody, I'm tired. I'm dead tired. I'm I'm moving Saturday. You're moving out, Billy Joel, Yep, Saturday moving And uh, I can't. So it's hard to believe you've never moved out of an apartment before. That wasn't your parents? That's correct? Isn't that wild? N I mean you moved, you moved, you moved one building over. I apologize you did move. Well, yeah, but this is a big deal move by yourself. Yeah, because and I'm doubling my space. I gotta say moving a'm easy. And you don't realize how much shit you have until you until you move. And yeah, you're talking to a guy who saw his five bedroom house that he lived in for twenty something years. You know how much we had to get rid of and go through? It took us months. I'm going through the attic and the garage and the basement. How do you part with some of the stuff? Well, we didn't part with a lot of it, but with some of it. No, we saw some stuff. We we donated a lot. We donate a lot of stuff to charities that we did, but you know we still have you know, I got it stuff in my garage now, yeah that I have to. I'm still trying to. I donate, you know what. I had a donation pick up today for the Vietnam Veterans of America charity. Nice. They came and picked up stuff from my driveway. Yeah, I'm always I'm always donating. I donate the Breast Cancer War Veterans Charity, Vietnam Vets, they all come here. You are a mensch I am. I gotta say though, words to the wise. This is for a PSA for the slices. If you're paying into a storage unit to store your shit, don't do it. I again another topic we might have covered on this podcast. But I have a storage unit that I've been paying. At the time, it was seventy eighty dollars. Now it's up to one hundred dollars a month. WHOA WHOA for a storage unit wait bar gold And for nineteen years. And I was just down there. I was there for the last few hours actually that so I'm so fucking tired and I'm going through everything and I'm like, why did I hold on to any of this shit. And I'm like, I think I visited my storage unit maybe five times in the last nineteen years. And we talked about this on the morning show. Yeah, because we all gave you crap for it one morning. Yeah, because we did. We did the math, and there's nothing in your storage unit that's worth a year's worth of storage fees. That's correct, and that's why they're the richest. Motherfuckers are out there. And it's not worth it. It's not worth it. And by the way, they they've got unit. Everyone is paying rent on a unit, so they're just collecting, collecting, collecting, and it's on auto pay and it's in the background and nobody cares and you can't these are you know it really is. They prey on hoarders, they really do. So I did the math and let's average, you know, seventy the couch, it call it eighty five dollars a month, a month for nineteen years, it's one thousand dollars a year roughly. Yeah, Brody, twenty gineteen thousand dollars for shit, for shit, I wasted twenty thousand dollars. You are not good at math. You are not good at being like I don't understand. You grew up relatively moderately middle class at best, you could say poor. Yeah, I'm I don't want to listen to you. And I grew up not a lot of money. We didn't have a lot of money, No, we did not, but I still live that way mentally. And you were like, fuck it, I'm not poor anymore. So I, well, that's not true about the house. When we sold the house, we had to put some of the stuff, a lot of the kids stuff, a lot of the garage stuff into storage. And I took a big storage unit and it was I don't know, maybe initially it was like one hundred and twenty dollars a month, and I, because it was so much money, I worked my ass off to sell stuff to make room. We're in the townhouse, right, to make room, to dwindle it. And I kept doing the calculations, right. I kept doing the calculations because I didn't want to hear shit about having a storage unit, because I'm the one. It was my idea. As soon as I realized that there was that a year's worth of the cost of the storage unit was more than what was in there, then that was when it was like, oh, okay, and I kept shrinking the storage unit down. So now I'm down to twenty nine dollars a month, and I'm hoping by the end of maybe next month, I'll be completely out because there was still more value in the storage unit than a year's worth of fees. Yeah, but now I'm about the point where it's more expensive than what's in what's left in there? Can I you We're gonna take a break. Can we just continue this On the other side, I have some things that I'm wondering if I should purge or not get rid of from the unit. Yeah, need your help, right, Okay, you got it? Pat scary. Hey, before we go on to the stuff you have to purge, I did because you mentioned something you mentioned on Slice Time. And we know that there's about fifteen percent of the people that don't listen to Slice Time. Yep, and you should because it's funny and sometimes scary and I break out into Brooklyn Boys conversations and sometimes important conversations on Slice Time. So I'm going to make this brief because you want you want to hear the longer version, Go listen on Slice Time. But there was some feedback in the Brooklyn Boys Chat and on the talkbacks that people are disappointed that we missed an episode last week and that we've been a little inconsistent. Yeah, most mostly because one of us gets forty weeks vacation. Yea, the week before that was not. Most of my problem is your fault. I had some important dates things I had to get done, and our schedules did not click and Scary had to pack. Anyway, what I said on Slice time and what Scary reiterated was we don't like get excited about a week off, like let's think we don't. We love doing this, so it disappoints us as much as it disappoints you guys when we can't do an episode. We don't take it for granted that you miss us. It means a lot to us that you want us to do whatever. You keep coming back right, So we're doing our best. And Scary, as I said, I think, I don't know if you saw my AI when you were on vacation. I had, I saw it. Scary has no more vacations in this month. Hey, listen, we got we got a lot of vacation, and you know what we are off the week of April sixth. You know after Easter that that week, Yeah, after Easter, we're off that week. I mean, what do I mean? Here's what I figured out. I figured out the reason you guys take more vacations since I left the show is that I did so much work that you guys have to cover now that you're that much more tired trying to be creative and do all the you know, cover all the things I did. You and Nate do all all the things I did, and other people have to run the internship program. You guys are now tired because I'm not there thirty one list You know what, Bertie, thirty one years on the job. It's you know, we we earn the vacation that we get, and I don't want to hear it. You know. You know what people you know, there are people that say that six you started in ninety six and ninety five, but Morning show started nine. This Morning show started in ninety six. Yeah, I've been here all that time, and you know, uh, I don't know. Listeners tell me, oh, you should check out this. There's this this like underground thread going on over here on this site or whatever. I don't know. There's this other people talking on this page there. I don't know, I don't I don't bother, I don't go near it because all they do is, you know, I mean, I mean, they're big fans, but a lot of them have just a lot of their opinionated about things and they yeah, which is fine, and that's what the forum is all about, I'm sure, but you know, they criticize, their hypercritical of the amount of vacations that we get as a show. And you mean the morning show, the Morning Show. Yeah, So all I can say is to that is you find yourself a job where you can negotiate a lot of vacation. Like, what do you want me to do? I mean, okay, no, no, that's not the right answer. Well, because it's not easy to do. It's not, it's not. But it's also if you have tenure, if you have thirty one years a ten year at a place, what do you expect? You know? The real answer is that it's Although it seems like a fun job, which it is, I think I've more than explained and proven that it wears you out and it grinds you down. And I'm going to tell you being home for two years doing the show from home during COVID and not going into work every day. Open my eyes and I think Elvis's and other people on the show to how life is different when you don't have to get up at four in the morning every day and go to bed early and restructure your whole life. I listen, not crying. I'm not crying about it. The scary is not crying about it. People work hard for a living, I believe me. I know I've done a lot of blue collar jobs. My dad was blue collar. I know that hard work is hard work. I'm saying it's mentally draining to do the kind of hours required because it's not normal hours to get up. So I understand why you might need eleven vacations, maybe not twenty six. All right, moving on that kind of stuff. You just let me, you know, you kind of took the wheel there and you didn't let me finish. Oh but Jesus no, I'm all right there, don't take the wheel carry.
00:20:06
Speaker 2: No.
00:20:06
Speaker 1: I just I think everybody is entitled to their own vacations. And but people are hyper critical over you know, something that we again we have earned and again thirty one years in, I'm very I personally, you know, when people get tired. It's four o'clock in the morning and and five days and welty of it. How many times most I watch every most shows Saturday, most shows. Most shows give you, give you like Saturday Night Live gives you twenty two episodes a year. Jimmy Fallon show goes on every few months. Does he does not do as much as I was going to say. He's on for one hour, and he's on for one hour a day, We're on for four, We're on four Take a breath. As a fan of Saturday Night Live, I was going to say, I understand how hard it is to write comedy and to write sketches and to put out that kind of output every week, and how many hours they put in. That doesn't mean I'm not frustrated when for the past two weeks I've had to, you know, to avoid repeats. Right, this Saturday is new, and I know I'm gonna watch it, and if it's not funny, I'm gonna go. You had three weeks, two weeks. Why isn't it funny? So I get it when last week Tonight takes off. Like all of the late night talk shows, like Jimmy Kimmel, they they all get a lot of time off, and they do one hour day, five days a week. They go on vacation in May and sometimes and come back in September. Then they go on vacation in November, come back in February. So I understand what it's like to be a frustrated fan, and we apologize this. So what is it you want to get rid of? We not get rid of? Well, I just have Do Do I need my graduation like year books and things I need? Yes? Do I need the Do I need my kindergarten very first drawing? You know? Yes, Macaroni art. Why isn't that your mother your mother and father's house. Why isn't hand it over to me? Oh? I don't think that shirt you moved out to? Shit? Is that shirt part of the things you worried about? I'll get rid of that, the brand new shirt, Dick, A shirt, Dick, you know I got. I also have mad magazines. What do I need mad magazines in my collection? I mean, I don't know, will I ever read them again? No? I mean why I don't have them? Okay, I don't know what. I don't know what it's called. I know people know cold hoarding. I I sometimes get comfort knowing that something is in the garage in a milk rate, even though I haven't looked at them in fifteen years. I've got magazines, rock magazines from from when I you know, when I was a teenager, when I was collecting magazines. You're in a milk rate. And I know if I go to the milk rate right now, I'd be like, oh, these are so awesome. But I know I'm not gonna go to the milk crek. But if I didn't have them, I would be like, oh, I don't. I don't know the magazines anymore. So I get it. It's a matter of overcoming that. And I am slowly but surely overcoming getting rid of some things like I'm selling baseball cards. I'm selling Oh I got baseball cards. I got comic books, Brodie. But thing I've got whatever it is, number one, whatever, the number one is for whatever, And I'm like, yeah, but not all number one is valuable exactly well so, but I thought it would be at the time I got my garbage kip pail kid collection. Obviously I'll hold onto that. But you know what I sold today? What for fifteen bucks? What again? Going through boxes of crap. I found a forty five For those of you who know whater forty five record is in the sleeve right. It was a nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears song that they put out in nineteen eighty five. I don't know why I have this. I don't know how I got it. I didn't get it out on that radio. We are the Bears shuffle crew, shuffle on down doing it for you. So I found it last week and I'm like, oh, I don't need this. I put it on I put it on uh Facebook. I got fifteen bucks for it. Fifteen bucks terrific. So the problem with that is then I start thinking, well, ever, all my crap is valuable. I can't throw any of this out. It all could be worth something. And that's when you get in trouble, because at some point you got to donate it and not worry about what it's worth. Brody. So I got I got Smith Corona typewriters. I've got I got movie projected type writers, typewriter. You have more than one, I have two. I have one really old one and have one electric Smith Corona. I've got trick. It's electric. But you will you will, you will you will you will? I I'd also have I also have got to put those on Facebook. People will buy those. Antique stores will buy them. Yeah yeah. People will want like a you know, old typewriter or like movie sets, like you know what I've got, I've got. I got. I got real to real movie projectors. I've got some watch in the fifties and sixties. I have those. I have one. And I have a real to reel player. You don't know what a real to real player is. Google it. Yeah. Audio, it's just it's like giant cassette wheels. And so my dad used to record me, so there's like I have hours of audio tape of me talking like as a five year old and a six year old, and I don't know what else you recorded. But I have a box of his reel to reels that I'm never gonna listen to. I know. I can go to Legacy Box and pay one thousand dollars to get it all converted. They're like, oh, it's only one hundred dollars for the box. The box isn't big enough. It's a I need, like I need one hundred dollars for the garage to convert all of the audio. What am I doing with all my cassette deck, my cassette tapes of me on the radio, of me doing a z one hundred airshifts in the overnight. I would get those digitized. I would do that if I were you. Look, I don't think you need every air shift, but there might be, like, there might be some you could get rid of. You don't need every airshift from like nineteen ninety nine, but there might be some good ones. I don't even know. It's just it's too much to go through. I've got I've got stacks of tapes. I've got I've got things like Brody. You have to see the collectibles I have. I've got video little little mini video games. Oh, I've got the original Nintendo with all the games I got legend to sell that. Okay that, Oh I loved legends. But you're talking about you're talking about Nintendo ninety five. There was Nintendo before, well, no, Nintendo. Yeah, the original Nintendo, the one, No. Nineteen eighty seven, eighty eight, the one, the Gold Cartridge, the Adventures of Link I've got Okay, Yeah, so here's what I would tell you. Some of that you gotta give to me and I'll sell it for you, and some of you gotta throw out. The Nintendo stuff has value. Your garbage pail kid sets have value. You have to go to a collector and sell that whole set. But who's got the time in the day. This is see, this is the kind of shit that I hate. And next time, the next time is a card show in New Jersey, I'll go with your book and I'll sell it for you. I just can't say anyway, but what about? What about? What about? Uh? The TV guides? Do I need these TV guides?
00:27:06
Speaker 2: No?
00:27:07
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I found in my garage a couple of weeks ago, a box of my father's played rational geographic no national geographic magazines. Again, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just think magazines that people cared about in the fifties and sixties. These are from the seventies. They they're not worth anything. What about anything? What about them? Aunt Millie's playbills from the every Broadway show she went through to in the seventies and the sixties, in the eighties, and they have real celebrities in them, like people that are like aless celebs were on Broadway in the show at the time. Okay, the problem is somebody on the planet wants them. You have to find a way to connect with them. You have to post them on eBay. Oh because people on eBay. But now you have to decide do I want to sell them like box of playbills or do you want to spend time and Google or eBay search each one and see if any of them are more value, like is the one with Barbara Streisand that was very funny. So absolutely she saw that. Oh you know what I did. Speaking of playbills, my wife and I were had gone to uh, Chicago or Toronto or Chicago many many, many many years ago and we went to see Second City. We went to see an improv show and I have the playbill from that show. We saw right and there was at least four people that were big names, but Tina Fey was one of the performers. And who plays Debbie Downer, Rachel Dratch, Rachel Dratch, It was Rachel Dratch, Debbie Downer and then maybe Horatio Sands or no, somebody somebody else in that era. Three people or four people ended up on Saturday Night Live and we saw them as nobody's in Chicago so it's it's cool to have a playbill from back in the day when people were like, oh oh my god, look who is in this again? You got to find someone who wants it. You know, you should do scary get all this stuff, and when you move into your new building, put all that stuff in a new storage place. Boys podcast, we will be right back. I'm done with storage, all right. Okay, so you know I have I have two dogs, right, yes, okay, we've had the MOOTSI, What'sie and Drew? Anyway? Uh, Drew likes to poop under the dining room table because it's carpeting under there, and Mutsie has learned if she's gonna poop in the house, she'll do it on the on the hardwood floor because she knows I don't like cleaning poop out of the carpet. Right, So, earlier in the week, I wake up in my I don't have a job time frame, right, I get up late, and uh I go out. I go yeah, I go out early. And and the dogs really didn't get walked because my job to walk them if I'm going out, and I didn't really walk them. I did like a I was like, oh, I guys let me right back, because I left them out for like two seconds on the deck and then uh, I was like, they didn't really have to go, and I was like in a rush. So I left the house and when I came home, there was a poop under the under the dining room bill dining on the road. A poop deck, No, I have a Yeah, they sometimes poop on the deck, so I know it's Drew. So he pooped under the table. So I scoop it up in a little in a little bag, like we have sandwich bags in the house. I took a sandwich bag and I picked up the poop right and I didn't have to take the spot shot. The Cannas spot shot. You spray it, you get the stains out of the carpet. And I took the paper towels and I clean up all of the poop. Whatever. Okay, So I watched TV for a little while and then I went out again. Now at that point, both doors what se pooped outside, Drew pooped in the house, So I'm it's safe to go out for a little while. So I run to the post office and I do a couple errands, and I come back and it smells like poop in the house. So it smells like poop in the dining room, living room area. So I'm looking. I look under the table again. I'm like, drough to you poop again and I I don't. I don't see any poop. So I'm like, maybe I missed the spot. I clean the carpet again. I still smell O God, So I get I get air freshener, and I spray the carpet. Okay, So I'm like, oh, maybe I missed the spot. So I'll spray the carpet and that'll that'll be fine anyway. I go, and I I jump in the shower because I I'd run out of the house in the morning, jump in the shower. I come back downstairs, and it's it smells like poop again, Like I don't understand. So I I there's a candle in the in the in the wind island handle in the wind and so I burn a candle for an hour or two to get, you know, make this house smell a little better. And uh, because I know it stinks and anyone who walked into the house is gonna smell it. So I gotta go get the smell out of the house. Okay, So the candle seemed to fix the problem, and I walk the dogs again. I come back in the house and uh, I smell pooping. Oh god, So I'm like, I don't understand. So I look under the table and the dog didn't poop. I can't figure out what's going on. I think I know what. I'm crawling around under the table trying to figure out if I missed anything. And then I see it. When I cleaned up the first time, I put the bag of poop on a chair while I cleaned the floor. Ah, so I left the doggie bag of poop on the dining room tablet. It was gonna be under your sneaker or something like that. No, nope. So all that I can't figure out. You know why it smelled like poop six hours late and scary? I guess it was poop there six hours. I don't know, Slices, if you ever done that before, like picked up the poop and then put it down and forgot where it was, and then you smell and poop again. But yeah, so I kept yelling at a dog, did you poop again? Did you poop again? Yeah? Poop? I had poop chair. Well, you're doing all that. I was hiking. I hiked Brody. I hiked up like a little mini mountain. You'd be so proud of me. I mean it was in a speed bump in the road and I was I was in Costa Rica and I hiked for about a good forty five minutes to get to the top of a volcano, to look to look into a volcano. I could see into the crater from above. It was the most fascinating, exhilarating thing I've done in a long time. I was up in Escazoo or Antonio, San Antonio. Some part of I forgot of of uh, of Costa Rica and I it was me and Jetski, Brian and our boy Lester, and I couldn't believe I was doing this because I'm not just hiking. I'm hiking on an incline and my body doesn't go that way. It was you know, yeah, it doesn't. My body likes to like to walk on flat surfaces or down or down, yeah or down. We don't like to do. But somehow we made it up there. And how many times have you been to Coasta Rica? Was breathtaking eight. This was a different part. There was a different a new part of Costa Rica that we have never been. Yeah, there's two hundred and thirty something forty countries. You keep going on the same one. Well there's well, there's nine different areas, ten different areas you can go to in Costa Rica. I still have to have one more to check off on your body. La Fortuna and Su Santa Teresa. I haven't been there yet either. These are beautiful places, but no, I've been to Guanacasta and Tamarindo and Hermosa Beach and Little Swenos and menuill Antonio and Campos. You know what, do you know what her Mosa Beach means? Uh? No, but it's a black sand beach, I'll tell you that. And all the surfers there were. Her Mosa Beach attracts like like you catch a wave, dude, like those types of people from uh, from the west coast, but their longboards. Oh man, by the way, is is it her Mosa Beach or is it her most supplier plia Hermosa Okay that means beautiful beach. Oh yeah, well anyway it is. It's black. You know, you know, a croast Coasta Rica, rich coast there you go very nice so h yeah, and and it's very The reason why is because it's lush greenery and you know, well it's it's it's very I mean rich coast. No, I know, why why do they call it that? Well, according to the Internet, Christopher Columbus may have given it the name because they thought there was gold there. Okay, well, it's rich with lush greenery and and and I'll tell you that it's great. You're doing rainy rainy season produces some beautiful like trees and green and birds and colorful birds. Saw the macaw parrots, saw monkeys again. It was fun. It was a good time. And and and we stayed one night in San Jose in a in a neighborhood called Barrio Escalante. Now we had never done this before either. Barrio Escalante is this fancy neighborhood. It's like the Williamsburg I guess of Costa Rica, all coffee shops, all like cool restaurants and bars and well foodies, paradise. And we had we had a great time there too. So anyway, my point is, Uh, while Mexico is shooting each other with the cartels and people are running for their lives, go spend another extra hour on a plane to a place that's pretty much cheaper than Mexico and you probably get better flights. You know. I feel like we would never advert it. They never advertised the tourism councils for for Costa Rica and some of these other countries. That was never as a kid growing up, what did you see Bahamas, Aruba, Puerto Ricana, Florida, Vegas? And why because those tourism boards spent the most marketing dollars on ad dollars, so you can see them and go there. So we are conditioned to go to these places. And there's just other countries to go to, and of course, but you keep going to well make it to Europe in April, so are all good for you? By the way, Uh, just to cleric clear there a little bit. Reports say that the people that were killing each other in Mexico was gang on gang violence. It was, but we were caught, we were caught in the crosshairs. No, no, Americans weren't. Weren't. No, I know we weren't, but no, but we still It's it's just I don't know if i'd be going I know, I don't know if you're gonna be booking your ticket to Mexico. Brody, Well, I'm not going anywhere, dude, because uh, you know money, but uh listen, half the country's going on spring break to Mexico. So yeah, well you know what, they should actually reroute. My point is try other places. They'll be fine. We're gonna go to Cancun. They're gonna go to like, uh Tapa. Well you know you know what they you know who does hot cal you know who doesn't want them? And I mean this has been now three four years in a row. Is South Beach, Miami. They're oh, yeah, they don't want the trouble. They do not depend there. The locals don't want it, but the business is due the businesses, yes, but the law enforcement and the people the residents were like, get the fuck out of here. So and no, I get that. They're putting stringent laws. They have curfews, They're they're really making it difficult for people to uh to have a part alady on South Beach, which is where I ended up after Costa Rica. By the way, I went to. Your flight was your poor bastard. We talked about this on the on Slice time. Your poor bastard. You couldn't get home I could not get home. I'm lucky I went to Miami because that allowed me to come to New York. But no, all the all the flights were canceled. How did you do? How did you make out during the blizzard? What was going on here? Uh? Well, uh, I'll tell you what. Not owning a home, it's much nicer. Well, you don't have to shovel your ida. Four car a four car driveway in my house, right, two car garage, and she had four parking spaces on the driveway, and so I did most of the shoveling because you know, I did most of the shoveling at times. So it was a lot of shoveling. Now. Uh, with living in a town home, they shovel for you, They tumble for you, they shovel for you. Uh. They shovel around my car. They did everything except clear off the car. But my father pays a guy. They got, They got guys to come around the neighborhood. But my father just breaks them off some cash because of one hundred bucks to shove them out. Yeah, I'll tell you though. One of the streets in my neighborhood is a dead end street, okay, And there's there's townhouses on both sides of the dead end street. Now it's not a cul de sac, it's a dead end street. So the plows pushed all of the snow down the dead end street right because at the end of the street there's like a forest, but there was so much snow scary from the storm that the mountains started by the forest, and then the mountains started blocking town homes. So the first two town homes on the left side and the right side of the street had a mountain of snow in front of them that the cars couldn't get out, and the plow guys, I guess weren't paying attention. They just kept filling the street up with snow, and so those those four houses you couldn't get your car out. It was two days later that they brought a flatbed, not a flatbed like you ever seen those like you know, you get dumpster when like this, when this construction those long dumpsters. Yes, it was a truck with a very long dumpster like type thing. Uh. And then like the plows with the scoops, they were picking up the show and had thrown it into the back of this long truck thing right and getting the snow out. But for a couple of days you're asking, I did, fine, but the people on the dead end street at the end, they were ft. I did. I did. Want to segue real quick because we're talking about being in Costa Rica. You don't speak any Spanish, correct, well, high school regions Spanish. Yeah, like a few words, and I speak restaurants Spanish. Okay, I can. I can say I need you to I need onions, I need mushrooms. I needed to cut this, clean, this mop this right. Whatever I needed to say in restaurants I learned, so you know, every once in a while I whip out a little Spanish when I I'm talking to somebody who might speak Spanish. I try to, you know whatever. Right. Well, there's a guy who who plays pickleball with us, and he's there once a month, really nice guy, and he's he's hard of hearing, so he's got an he's got an you know, an ear piece that helps him a little bit. But he reads lips and so when you play pickleball with him, you have to, you know, you have to call it the score, you know, three four one, meaning it's it's we have sugar four. Yes, everyone, Okay, but because he's mostly deaf, he taught me sign language numbers right, one through five is easy, but six, six, you know I'm doing it. You make the okay sign. You pinch your your thumb your first finger, seven is the second finger, eight is the third finger, and nine is the pinky and of course ten is just two hands. Yep. Right, So I learned sign language. So all night I'm speaking sign language to the guy, you know, as far as numbers, and he reads my lips. I make sure I speak, you know, speak to him anyway. Not About an hour goes by and he's standing by the by the TVs and by the ledge, you know, waiting for his turn to go back on. And I had a brain fart. I wanted to communicate to him and right, and I wanted to say, because it was snowing that night, how cold it was, But I don't know how to say it's cold in sign language. And in my mind I'm like, I can't speak English to this guy because he's deaf. So my brain farted and I went, hey, I say mucho frio, which means it's it's really cold, but he doesn't speak Spanish. No, So my mind was like I can't speak English to him, so I'm like, how you just grip your own arms and be like whoo, Yes, you're missing the point. It wasn't that I spoke Spanish because I couldn't speak sign language. In my mind, I knew he didn't. There was something. I was, what is it with him? Again? He doesn't speak English? So I spoke Spanish. He looks to a guy who's deaf, right right, It's like if they were Italian or you know where. I saw the language and I was like, I spoke Spanish. It doesn't help help. My brain fought and I was like and he was like, what, Like it's cold. They read my lips and then he was like, read my lips, read my lips. Take a break. We will be back okay with Scary Rotie. It's really really funny what's going on at the radio station. So the way we have our desks positioned in the morning show Bullpen, you know the area where we all work when we're not on the air, mhmm. We're kind of in a courtyard butted up against another building where they are people that are living, like someone kitchen is over here, and then the next room is someone's bedroom and see into somebody's bathroom. I mean, it's New York City high rises, so everyone's on top of one another. In the old studio, we could look into the hotel across the sort right in this one. Yeah, maybe about maybe I don't know, fifty feet away, thirty maybe you could see into a window. And there's this woman in this window every morning that you know, Nate noticed. She's probably in her like thirties or something. She doesn't appear to have a boyfriend, but like right after ten or eleven o'clock in the morning, she's kind of roaming around her kitchen or but it's directly out the window in front of Nate's desk. So Nate's been a little you know, flirty here and there. You know, he's like, hey, how you doing. You know, they you know, they look at each other or whatever. So they have this kind of like this romance from a distance going. So I thought it would be a good idea. I said, well, Nate, why don't you just write a sign? Right, just write single question mark and sharpie and just hold it up to her. Now is that creepy or is that cutesy? Because I think it's so silly and when I said whimsical, they made fun of the way I said whimsical. Is that whimsical so whimsical that it may it may actually work. I mean because just for the story itself, I met my boyfriend because he held up for sign and asked if I was single. We started dating. We never communicated. I think she will take the bait. He doesn't think so. He thinks ah. I mean, remember this has been going on now a little bit for a few days. They kind of like, you know, they see each other at a glance, you know, oh hi, whatever. But remember she's in another building that's facing ours, but they could see each other, and he thinks she's the street. He thinks she's she's hot. So what do you think? Do you think that it's creepy? If he was to hold up a sign and try is that a form? Is Is it too aggressive? Or? I said, what do you got to lose? I agree, I don't think. Listen, nowadays, you swipe on people, you you slip into the DMS. He's basically just slipping into her window. Oh that doesn't sound right. Wait a minute, you know what you know what I mean? Listen, if if this was like Meg Ryan in the eighties, you'd be like, oh, it's adorable. Oh it's it's shute. It's a rob top right, It's almost like it's from a movie. You know that this is going on. So I don't know. I don't know if he looks at her mailbox in the lobby and figures out who she is and her name, that looks her up on social media and sends her a DM and says, oh, I tracked you down. That's that's creepy. But the if it's just a matter of, uh, hold up a sign, what's your number? You know? Now? Can she see that you guys are on the radio or just she's she's just no, no, see the view she has is is the office view. She has got no clue what's going on down the hallway that we have studios. Okay, So if she likes him, it won't be because he's on the radio, correct, It'll it'll be because from a distance he looks attractive. What is he a monet? Oh yeah right, No, listen, no, Nate's a good looking guy. Just I'm saying she's from a distance, she's like, oh that guys, I got the reference. Yeah, yeah, anyway, that that's Uh that that's I don't know, slices that creepy. What do you think leave us a talk back exactly? Is that okay? If? Well? Okay? First of all, so guys, oh women too, would you write the message and or would you be okay getting the message? Like if you're in a living room and you see some guy like, I don't know, it depends, you know what I think, It depends on what you're in. If she's looking at her kitchen window, it's fine. If she's looking at her bathroom window not fine? Is that fair? Fair enough? Okay? I wish you were with me at the South Beach one at food festival. Oh my god. I got to catch the tail end of that when I landed in Miami on Sunday from Coasta. Oh my god, the food from Coasta is on a first name basis. Now me, me, me and the country on a first name basis. I mean, I mean, I mean I was a coast. Well we're well, you know, I'll say this. Uh, the the Wine and Food festival, it's just the one in Florida is just crushes the one in New York. There's no comparison, isn't it? The same guy who runs it though?
00:49:43
Speaker 2: Lee?
00:49:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, Lee Schrager. They're they're there, they're basically, but it's outside, it's on the sand, it's under tents. Oh yeah, yeah. They have all the celebrities out there, but it's just spread out. And this happened while you were trapped in Florida and couldn't get home to New Dys. Hey, hey, I was trapped. Let's keep the story straight. I'm telling stories about people being trapped in their homes because of the snow, and scary was trapped in South Beach at the wine and food festival. You poor bastard. Hey, it's sunk to sixty six degrees on Monday and Tuesday. I did not expect. Oh my god, I hope you're okay. Sixty six degrees. Did you get frost bite? No? But I had some bites of some frozen Caviare you know the people from New York because they're walking around short sleeve shirts and no jacket. But sixty six degrees for the people in South Florida, Yeah, to get there, layered up, splinging. Do Are we taking a break? And I have time to tell you about chatch ept? No, you got time? So I've told you that chatch ept has lied to me in the past, yep, where it's like, oh, I'm gonna get that that pitchure done for you. Was supposed to get that project done and it kept putting it off, right, it lied to me. And granted, sometimes check GPT gives you an answer and it's not exactly accurate. Like when I when when I pulled up I said, oh, who's David Brody from Z one hundred and it pulled up a picture in Nate Remember that, Yes, like I knew who I was, but then put the wrong picture up. Well, when you when you sign up for chat GPT, when you create your profile, you tell it some things about you. You tell it, you know, I tell it my name, kind of your job. I have mind right, mind us, mind us too, right, okay if I if I in fact, it's so smart, like i can just open it up right now and be like, hey, I'm like, who's so, who's on the Elvis Stand Morning show? And he'll it'll say no, no, no, but that cause that's because it googles it. No no, no, no no, But it'll say who it is. No, no, He'll say, it'll say it. He'll say you are. They'll say, oh, and you're on that you're on that show, which is wild. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna put you to the test in a second. The reason I'm bringing this up is that there was a major chat GPT update about three weeks ago, major update, and they changed the voice. So now I used to have like a choice of six voices. Yeah, is one voice. One voice. Can't change it. And all the memories got wiped out. So even though on my memory page it talks about my childhood, how many kids I have, I have no siblings. I taught everything about me, so when I asked the questions, it would have a reference point to based it off of. Right, Okay, so you know my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, Yes it was. So this happened while it wasn't remembering anything, so nothing I taught it. It remembers. It knows my name and my dog's names, and that's it. It has amnesia. Doesn't remember my family, doesn't remember anything about my history. Nothing's my birthday, I say, I say to chet GPT, good morning, it's good morning, David, I said it. It's a big day today. You know why today is special, and I figured I'll get a nice birthday greeting. No clue you know what, chat Cheep says, no, no, no, no, So chat cept will not tell you. It doesn't know something. It just gives you the first thing that pops into its hands. Oh, so what did it say? I said? I said, do you know why today's a big day for me? Chet gpt He says, yes, I do. Today's the anniversary of your parents dying in a car crash. What? No, it didn't. I swear to God, I swear on both of my parents, even though neither one of them is alive. Well, obviously they died in a car crash. No, come on, no really, I said, what what is special about today? And it said today's anniversary of your parents dying in a car grab. I didn't. I didn't record it because who I didn't think. I thought it was that from I don't know. There's nothing in my profile that I never said anything but a car accident or my parents dying in a car I said, what are you fucking stupid? Why would you say that? I'm sorry, I go tell yeah. Then it starts licking your butthole. So oh, it'll never happen again, you know, yes, I'll be more attentive. Yes, Uh no, it doesn't remember. I asked it again. So so here's the thing. It doesn't remember anything, but I've told it a hundred times. Don't make shit up. I was I was sick a few weeks ago. So I said, hey, chet GPT do you remember I was sick for a couple of days. Do you remember what I had? I had a call I COmON called, yes, you were suffering from leukemia. Stop. I swear to God, I'm not making this up. I'm telling you. If it doesn't know, it doesn't know how to say. I don't know. Well that that makes that. I know it always makes some ship, but but where is it pulling these random and severe disease. Never had leukemia. Never, And you can't teach you how to say things. Because my dogs and they same Muzzarella. We call her Mutsie. Chat Ebt cannot say Mutsie. It says Mootsie. I say no, no, Mutsie like Footsie. Got it rhymes with footsie Mootsi. Not mussy there yet. But the technology I've seen a lot of it's so brilliant but scary. I'm telling you. I wish I had the audio when I said why is today special for me? And it said, I remember it's the anniversary of when your parents died in a car accident. Uh So, Slices, if you've got any ridiculous responses from from any AI platform you use, let us know. But yeah, it's the podcast. Is this our last break? Yeah? It is, unfortunately, and now the end is near and so our face the final curtain. So I have, I have, I have. I'm gonna have to pay. So I teased something on Slice time I'm gonna save for next week. I talked about how security had to be called on me, uh in a in a store. But I don't I'm right now. It's it's ten thirty at night, and I don't have the energy, and it's I don't want to wake anybody up. Okay, so I'm not gonna I can't do it. I'm gonna tell you can't. Yeah, yeah, because people are sleeping. However, I did want to tell you a story because I need to know, Slices, what you would do and or what you think I should do in this situation. So there's a trail mix that I really really really like that they sell at Costco. Sure, and I bought a bag and I went back with another bag. And the way Costco works is sometimes they get close outs and they don't sell them anymore, so you have to like sometimes stock up because if you love it, they don't have anymore. So I bought five or six bags of this trail mix. Okay, real good. It's got uh cashoes and and cashoes, almonds and yoga chips. It's really good. Anyway, I would say maybe the third or fourth bag I open up.
00:57:11
Speaker 2: Now.
00:57:11
Speaker 1: I don't know about how most people eat trail mix. Some people like look in the bag and they pick out the almonds pickins leave them on the side that oh I love raisins. Anyway, I put a fist in and I take it, and sometimes i'll, you know, I'll put a little bit of my mouth right. And sometimes if you have like if the amount in the palm of your hand, and guys probably know this more than women, but sometimes you have like just the right size a mount in your palm where you just shove it all in your mouth like popcorn and right. So I do that because I'm leaving the house, so I'm like, oh, I gotta get I gotta get my coat on. I can't have the stuff. I put all my mouth and I go go cow and I bite down on a piece of metal. Uh oh and I and I'm like what the so, I'm like, pump, I spit out the food in my mouth and I get what looks like the letter A. It's an inch high and then there's a little arch and an inch high the other side. I'll put a picture up on Instagram, but so, and it's and it's got a hole at the bottom of each of the of the legs of this little so it looks like it looks like a little metal uh, like a letter A or a V. And it it's about it. I would say it's an inch and an inch folded in half, like a two inch piece of metal folded in half. It must have fallen off machinery or something. I don't know. So first I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go back to Costco and get my money back. I'm like, wait a minute. If I get my money back, I'm gonna get like six bucks back for the bag of you know, then what what if this what if this batch is bad? You know they have the batch codes on the bag. Sure what if all the machinery went into this. I don't know what's going on. I'm gonna call the company. So I called the company yesterday and I tell them what happened. Oh sir, you okay? Well that were you injured? I said, well, it was sharp and although I wasn't bleeding, it did scrape the top of my mouth. It was quite painful, which it was. And I have this metal thing. Can you describe it? I describe it? She says, do you have the technology to send us a picture of it? Which I thought. I was like, okay, what I said, do I have the technology to send you a picture? Of course I do. Well, you'd be surprised how many of our customers do not know how to do that. What I said, Look, I said, I don't know what ninety five year old customers you have, but I can. Please. I'm good, I'm verified on Instagram, I'm good sorright, Well, we'll send you an email address. It takes down my information, and she is, you know, we're gonna notate this and give us the batch number and on the bag and and the some of the barcode information. So they' what the size of the bag was until I got into Costco roughly when I bought it, and she says, I we're gonna send you a after you send us a picture, We're gonna mail you a padded envelope for you to put the piece back and mail it to us. Okay. So I say, all right, So I'm giving you the evidence just out of curiosity. What what's the policy here? Right? What are the outcomes the possible outcomes here when you see that this is a piece of machinery that exists in your factory, that was in my basis. Well, sir, you know all of our food goes through metal detectors. I can't imagine any metal got through. I said, oh, well, your metal detectors aren't working because this got through. It was in the bag. I'd put it in my mouth. So I said, you got to figure out what happened. Other people don't get injured. Where's your free dessert? So I said, so what the times? So he says, what are you going to do to make it right?
01:00:49
Speaker 2: Right?
01:00:50
Speaker 1: So she says, well, sir, you know, if this proves to be a piece of metal in your bag, I'm like, yeah, you know, we will. We will immediately send you a coupon for free bag to replace the bag. I say, whoa, whoa, whoa what? She says, well, what do you mean? What do I mean? I can go back to Costco and get a refund. Yeah, that's not my problem. My problem is your company left metal in the bag. I could have cut my mouth open, and although I didn't, I said, I'm not looking to screw anybody, right, but you got to do something for me more than a coupon for another bag of your your metal infested fruit, your trail mix. You gotta win me back, right, win me back to the customer, right, win me back? Well, well, what is it you want? What would you What are you asking for? I said, no, no, no, no, no, no no, I'm not going to tell you what I'm asking for, because if I say ten bucks, you're gonna send me ten bucks, You're gonna tell me what you're gonna send me. I want your management to see that there was a piece of metal in my bag and make me an offer. Make me an offer I can't refuse. She says, sir, that's highly irregular. I said, you know what else? Highly regular? A piece of metal in my in my trail mix. A that I into and it hurt. I said, So, look, I'm not looking to sue you, but certainly you have a policy. What do you mean, Well, you must have a policy if I if I'm in a restaurant, restaurant bites down a restaurant and somebody bites down on the steak and there's a broken piece of fork or something, right, I'm gonna give them one hundred dollars or something. I'm not just give them a steak if you buy it. If it was a piece of glass in their in their spaghetti, I'm not gonna be like, oh, sorry, there's a bug on your pasta. I'm not gonna go get the bug off there for you comp the meal, You comp the meal, you give them a credit card, give him a gift card to come back the next time. So I was just saying, you must have a policy when someone's upset. Just I don't know such a thing. I go, I'll tell you what you have my information, send me the little packet, and before I mail this piece back, I would like to know what you're gonna do for me. So slices, What should I do? Should I just be like, give me a coupon and call it a day, or should I ask for one hundred dollars twenty dollars? Is it five? Okay? Scary? I low ball?

It was a lot of pain involved in biting down on the sharp edge of this thing. And I'm gonna post it on my Instagram At David bro you mentioned TuS. I actually got punctured by a rusty piece of something earlier to this evening, and I and I it's like, oh, yeah, well I actually came up here and I washed it out.

01:04:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, consultant professional. Well, how do I know you can get muscle spasms, rigidity, potential respiratory failure. Where was the last time made a tennis shot? Never? Well? Okay, well you may have a problem. What was the last time you had a cootie shot? Well, dude, come on now, how do I do? Tetanis shots keep you safe from tetanus.

Okay, it says your first symptoms of tetanus is worrying and ranking for no reason. Oh shit, you're a douche. Really do I How do I know if it's tetanus? Here? Hold on, okay, let's ask, how do I know if I have tetanus from a rusty nail? And do you definitely get tetnus from a rusty nail?

01:05:33
Speaker 1: Okay, lo, waitazu? How can I tell right away if I may have tetanus? Or should I immediate a shot?
01:05:41
Speaker 2: You can't tell right away if you have tetanus, as symptoms like lockjaw appeared days later. However, if you have a dirty wound or aren't sure about your vaccinations, get a tetanus shot right away within about one to two days to be safe.
01:05:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:05:54
Speaker 2: For medical advice or a diagnosis, consult a professional.
01:05:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got one to two days before You're on four off? No way to secul Like, how do I know? Wait a second, but if I if I I did? She just told you? If you if that was rusty and you punctured your skin and the rusty thing went into your hand. You better go get a tennis shot. But it wasn't it just it just punctured something real quickly. Okay, today is Thursday. If I were you at six am tomorrow in the morning show, I would ask that question and see if you can get a doctor to come and give you a tennis shot on the air. You know it goes in your belly button, right, does it? Is it a long needle? Yes? Yeah, yes, it goes in your belly button. That's why a lot of people don't get it. Dude, I don't know what to do. Now you've got the radio. I'm freaking out. Well, no, it was. It was just it was the bottom of a of some kind of machine. I don't necessarily think it was rusty. It could have just been a piece of metal that hit me. But do I know it might not have been rushed. Okay, did you look at the metal that didn't or you have no idea what it was? I don't know what it was. Was it your lucky nail collection? Now I'm wondering what this was. Now you'll have to know if it was. If it was oxidized and rusty and orange, and that it went into your skin. You may have a problem. If it was just a sharp thing, like the kind of thing you'd find in a bag of trail mix. You should be a sharp thing. Yeah, you want to talk about this at six oh five tomorrow around the room they have tens. I don't know. Well, anyway, we'll figure that out. You'll be proud of me though. Again it's getting all red. What is that? That's bad? You should what a picture up on Instagram that's that's ripped off. It looks like it's puss. There is that puss. No, it's ripped off skin. Anyway, you'd be really proud of me, I guess. So I have these guys painting my house, painting the walls, and they're they're not lime wiring it.
01:08:05
Speaker 2: No.
01:08:05
Speaker 1: I decided on Kensington Blue from Benjamin Moore, the Aura A Collection, and they're painting, painting, painting, and then we went out of paint and they pick up another thing of paint. Well, next thing you know, they go over it and they're like, oh my god, this paint doesn't match. I'm in Costa Rica in the pool. I'm freaking out and I'm like, wait a minute, doesn't match. You ask for the same code. The paint has numbers on it. What's going on? I called the store. As it turned out, the kid behind the counter, he mixed a bad batch of paint. He mixed the wrong base to make the color that I needed. So now the painters have started on another wall and it's a different color. But now it's late in the day, on on Friday, and they were supposed to be wrapped up by Friday night. Because we'd run out of the paint. We had to get the second can. Well yeah, we yeah, Well what happens they said to the paint store said, well, uh yeah, we we uh accidentally screwed up. Yeah, So so the paint store decides they were going to make another batch and just give it to me for free. David Brody absolutely, absolutely, But but what else do these guys had. These guys, these guys had to come back the next day. Oh, someone's got to pay for the labor. So David Brody I got on the phone with them and I said, not only are you going to go deliver hand deliver that paint can to my unit so these guys can pick up the job. But they got to come back tomorrow now, and this job is supposed to be wrapped up today. They were like, well, how how much is it going to be? I said, that's gonna cost me two hundred and fifty dollars. Oh no, they're they're they should have said they were lime painting at all. Whatever, lime washing. So they're like all right, and the guy took off two hundred and fifty dollars refunded me two hundred and fifty dollars in paint. Good. Well, you remember that happened to me when we were painting the house to sell it. That's my free dessert. Yes, that's I'm very proud of you. Remember when I was painting my house light gray, make everything neutral, and and it came out black yes, And the guys were painting my upstairs black yes. And then when I went back to guys like, well you want a cheap paint, I go, the collar of the paint is not determined by the base cheapness. And so anyway, so home Depot gave me They're like, oh, well, well we'll replace the paint. I said, oh no, no, no, no, I need you to replace all the paint I bought because I'm paying these guys. They just wasted four hours painting. Now I gotta come back here to get the paint again. Same thing. So they gave me all the pain for free, like two hundred and something dollars worth the pain for free. Because you're right, it's not just the paint, it's the labor. You're paying for it. And they gotta do it. They gotta do the job again, and you gotta get the guys to come back again. And because the paint was black, they had to put two coats of paint to cover up the black paint. So I got and I was pissed off that the guy yelled at me. So yeah, you got free dessert. So I got free. I got my free paint can, and two hundred and fifty dollars were discounted on the other cans of paint. So oooh yeah, love that got my free dessert, free dessert. Loving that that another disciple does well. I wasn't letting them get away with shit. Boys choice
Speaker 1: Guess guess who've just got five today? They're Brooklyn moz that had been away. They both have so much to say. You know their names of Brody and Skiring the boys. Oh yes, Episode three sixty six of the Brooklyn Voice podcast. I'm Scary Jones along with David Brody. It's been a few minutes. It's been a few minutes. This is episode three sixty six, and we're recording this on two two six, two six six. Yeah, today's two twenty six rather twenty six twenty six. Yeah. I like that. I know people are running out to play numbers today. You play twenty six and two and yeah, you know you love you love numbers. You love three hundred more episodes. Scary will be an episode six sixty six. Oh perfect. And you know how long that will take us? On average? About six years? Probably. Do you? Are you superstitious with numbers? You know? I'm not you and your angel number? No? But do you play? You don't? You don't play numbers like if if if numbers come to you during the day, you don't just rush out and buy a lottery ticket. Numbers come to me, No, I play. I play my family's birthdays like no but let's say something, just like something in your day, like a number just appears in front of you or something. You know what, this is a sign I'm going out to play the lottery. There's no signs. Nobody's giving me signs to go play the lottery. I play my, I play my my birthdays and anniversaries and stuff like that. I don't, I don't, Uh what am I gonna? Oh? I paid eleven dollars and eleven cents at the grocery store. I gotta play that number. No, I'm not that person. Okay, But when I when I worked in and when I worked in a restaurant in Brooklyn called Rolling Roaster, then you'd give people receipts at the register, and they would have numbers from usually from zero to to nine hundred and ninety nine, and it would start over again. Sure, and so you go, okay, your numbers two seventy five, weaight at the counter, or you know, we'll call you when you know when your food's ready. And inevitably, when I saw, like if I was at like uh four forty two, right, I would say, okay, here comes watch in two more customers. I would tell people go someone's gonna get four forty four number, It's like, okay, so you know it's full forty four, it's good number. Gonn plut a number. It's so predictable, and then like I would see them again, like a few days later ago did you win? No, the machines don't know what a good number is. This it's the same odds all the time. So I listen if that makes you happy, and you run out and play the lottery and whatever because you saw correct, terrific, whatever makes you happy. I mean, I feel like I feel like I need to pick my own numbers, and I'm I'm luckier that way than with them with an auto pick. Oh, so when did you win the millions? Right? Exactly what you say? You were luckier with the No. I just I feel like I feel like there's you've a better Some people have a feel like there's a bet it's a superstition. Of course, there's a better chance of winning, uh if they let the machine pick it. Some people they feel like they need to go to a specific store to buy their ticket because you know, maybe that stor has had a lot of luck and a lot with a lot of winners. You know, over the years, the machines don't know that. I know that, I know, we know that. You and I know that, but it's it's it's fun to dream. A number of years ago they were they were saying that like the most frequent numbers that come out in the fewest numbers, and like, oh, I'm making this stuff this part. I was like, oh, eleven comes out the fewest of any ball in the in the power ball to be like eleven's do the balls don't know that exactly. It's still the same. The eleven ball isn't going get out of my way. It's my right, you know that. You know. I think we might have spoken about this many episodes ago, but haven't we spoken about the roulette on the roulette wheel. The gimmick they do these days is they put up a huge you know, light up led with the hot numbers, right and the cold numbers, so like, well, number number twenty has come out the most. It's a hot number. It's come out to you know, or the number four is cold and they show you all the cold numbers and all the hot numbers. But but it means absolutely Jack Dick, Jack Dick, Yeah, Okay. The typical gambler's fallacy is if I flip a coin scary, let's say, eleven times, and it comes up heads eleven times. Yeah, and I'm gonna flip it for the twelfth time. Yes, would you double down because it's still one out of two? Right, the coin doesn't know you had eleven heads in a row even though law of averages, no, no, it's not the it works. The coin is fifty to fifty every time, right, every time it doesn't. Oh, yes, over the course of ten years and flipping it, it's gonna come out relatively even. But on that one flip, it's still fifty to fifty. By the way, episode three sixty six, speaking of numbers, I already know this episode is going to be good. You know why. Why is that because on Slice Time, which we did yesterday, you'll hear Rock and Steve from over there over there. I'm calling about episode three sixty six, which we hadn't done yet, but he sounded like it was pretty good. So I'm assuming somehow he heard three sixty six before we recorded it, in which case this is a good I mean, I always thought he was from the future, so well he's from somewhere now. I did mention on the Brooklyn Boys Slice time that U. I teased you all that I sold my sofa. It's over. Mentioned it on the beach is over. It's over. It's over. Sofa is over opha. That's why you can't call it a couch. The couch is what the couches. The couch is right. But I'll say that I mentioned it on the Big Show, and I put it up on a website, on a one of those antique sites. Remember, no, you you were making fun of me. You said that it's not an antique, but I put it on. I put it, and you put it in front of the antique crowd, and the antique crowd saw it, and within three hours it sold for twenty four hundred dollars. Holy shit, I guess you should have charged more. Exactly, well, that's exactly it. I went to an interior designer who I know, and I said, I put this up on Cherish, which is the site, not a sponsor. I said, yeah. She goes, I said it sold within a couple of hours. She goes, oh my god, you probably should have listened it for thirty eight hundred for a little hire, because people are going to try to chisel you. You know. She didn't even do it. She didn't give me the all or best offer. She didn't even message me. She'd even like, oh my god, this sucker's selling it for twenty two hundred and all of a sudden, I'm a sucker. You all will like bitching saying that thing's not worth more than three hundred bucks. Throw it away. She's a bigger sucker. Wait does she sits her ass down on that couch and her back breaks, Get the hell out of here. She's gonna love it. I'm sure she's loving them out. It's acted. Do you know what. She's probably some old lady, and that couch is for They don't go in that room. Room. Maybe you know, I shall put plastic over it and no one will sit on it. It's a quality sofa. In fact, I was down in Costa Rica when I had to have it delivered. I handled none of it. My brother came here, he sat in my apartment. They gave us a two hour delivery window of when they were coming to pick it up. They wrapped it up in a bunch of a couple of blankets, and they hauled the hell out of here and didn't I didn't pay for that. How much did you give your How much you give your brother for house sitting and couch sitting? Oh, my brother and I we do favors for each other all the time. I didn't have to give him any money. Yeah, well you would sit in his house waiting for the front of you guys to come. Absolutely, because that's what brothers do. Oh you wouldn't. It's called it's called brotherly love to you and your brother? Are not brotherly love, guys? You are? We are, and you know what and you know what exactly why I didn't call you for the favor, because you would I would have done it a handout. No, I would have expected you would have bought me lunch while I was sitting there. Exactly. It's a production with you every time, no production. You go. You got little grub Hub for me. That place we got chicken and French fries from that one time I was there, the Broad chicken and rib crib. Yeah, that place was good. That's all you had to do was get me some chicken and rib crib. Shit. I would have been happy. I don't need money, I need some food though I'm sitting there. All you got your refrigerators, broccoli and ten thousand dollars peanut butter. Well, uh yeah, so thank you shout out to Cherish. Now it's also highway robbery because they took forty percent of my money. So I wish. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not getting I don't know if you heard that, but forty goes to them, that's in their pocket. That's a problem. So I'll make fourteen hundred off of the damn thing. Fifteen hundred? How much was the website? I suggested? How much were they getting twenty No, I don't even know. But but it's it's neither here nor there. I proved everybody wrong, including the morning show. Now I had to suffer through, you know, you know, I think I needed to, you know, see a therapist after all the beatings that I took on this podcast. Maybe when you go to the therapist, they'll have a comfortable couch you to lay down on. Maybe that, you know, I had a deal with the Big show. Everybody bitching at me. I had people texting me making fun of me. That's all. It's, you know what, I know, I know what what what the damn thing is worth? I mean, obviously it was worth more than I thought it was worth. But uh, yeah, so it's gone included like fourteen hundred roughly. Roughly. Yeah, I gotta say, Brody, I'm tired. I'm dead tired. I'm I'm moving Saturday. You're moving out, Billy Joel, Yep, Saturday moving And uh, I can't. So it's hard to believe you've never moved out of an apartment before. That wasn't your parents? That's correct? Isn't that wild? N I mean you moved, you moved, you moved one building over. I apologize you did move. Well, yeah, but this is a big deal move by yourself. Yeah, because and I'm doubling my space. I gotta say moving a'm easy. And you don't realize how much shit you have until you until you move. And yeah, you're talking to a guy who saw his five bedroom house that he lived in for twenty something years. You know how much we had to get rid of and go through? It took us months. I'm going through the attic and the garage and the basement. How do you part with some of the stuff? Well, we didn't part with a lot of it, but with some of it. No, we saw some stuff. We we donated a lot. We donate a lot of stuff to charities that we did, but you know we still have you know, I got it stuff in my garage now, yeah that I have to. I'm still trying to. I donate, you know what. I had a donation pick up today for the Vietnam Veterans of America charity. Nice. They came and picked up stuff from my driveway. Yeah, I'm always I'm always donating. I donate the Breast Cancer War Veterans Charity, Vietnam Vets, they all come here. You are a mensch I am. I gotta say though, words to the wise. This is for a PSA for the slices. If you're paying into a storage unit to store your shit, don't do it. I again another topic we might have covered on this podcast. But I have a storage unit that I've been paying. At the time, it was seventy eighty dollars. Now it's up to one hundred dollars a month. WHOA WHOA for a storage unit wait bar gold And for nineteen years. And I was just down there. I was there for the last few hours actually that so I'm so fucking tired and I'm going through everything and I'm like, why did I hold on to any of this shit. And I'm like, I think I visited my storage unit maybe five times in the last nineteen years. And we talked about this on the morning show. Yeah, because we all gave you crap for it one morning. Yeah, because we did. We did the math, and there's nothing in your storage unit that's worth a year's worth of storage fees. That's correct, and that's why they're the richest. Motherfuckers are out there. And it's not worth it. It's not worth it. And by the way, they they've got unit. Everyone is paying rent on a unit, so they're just collecting, collecting, collecting, and it's on auto pay and it's in the background and nobody cares and you can't these are you know it really is. They prey on hoarders, they really do. So I did the math and let's average, you know, seventy the couch, it call it eighty five dollars a month, a month for nineteen years, it's one thousand dollars a year roughly. Yeah, Brody, twenty gineteen thousand dollars for shit, for shit, I wasted twenty thousand dollars. You are not good at math. You are not good at being like I don't understand. You grew up relatively moderately middle class at best, you could say poor. Yeah, I'm I don't want to listen to you. And I grew up not a lot of money. We didn't have a lot of money, No, we did not, but I still live that way mentally. And you were like, fuck it, I'm not poor anymore. So I, well, that's not true about the house. When we sold the house, we had to put some of the stuff, a lot of the kids stuff, a lot of the garage stuff into storage. And I took a big storage unit and it was I don't know, maybe initially it was like one hundred and twenty dollars a month, and I, because it was so much money, I worked my ass off to sell stuff to make room. We're in the townhouse, right, to make room, to dwindle it. And I kept doing the calculations, right. I kept doing the calculations because I didn't want to hear shit about having a storage unit, because I'm the one. It was my idea. As soon as I realized that there was that a year's worth of the cost of the storage unit was more than what was in there, then that was when it was like, oh, okay, and I kept shrinking the storage unit down. So now I'm down to twenty nine dollars a month, and I'm hoping by the end of maybe next month, I'll be completely out because there was still more value in the storage unit than a year's worth of fees. Yeah, but now I'm about the point where it's more expensive than what's in what's left in there? Can I you We're gonna take a break. Can we just continue this On the other side, I have some things that I'm wondering if I should purge or not get rid of from the unit. Yeah, need your help, right, Okay, you got it? Pat scary. Hey, before we go on to the stuff you have to purge, I did because you mentioned something you mentioned on Slice Time. And we know that there's about fifteen percent of the people that don't listen to Slice Time. Yep, and you should because it's funny and sometimes scary and I break out into Brooklyn Boys conversations and sometimes important conversations on Slice Time. So I'm going to make this brief because you want you want to hear the longer version, Go listen on Slice Time. But there was some feedback in the Brooklyn Boys Chat and on the talkbacks that people are disappointed that we missed an episode last week and that we've been a little inconsistent. Yeah, most mostly because one of us gets forty weeks vacation. Yea, the week before that was not. Most of my problem is your fault. I had some important dates things I had to get done, and our schedules did not click and Scary had to pack. Anyway, what I said on Slice time and what Scary reiterated was we don't like get excited about a week off, like let's think we don't. We love doing this, so it disappoints us as much as it disappoints you guys when we can't do an episode. We don't take it for granted that you miss us. It means a lot to us that you want us to do whatever. You keep coming back right, So we're doing our best. And Scary, as I said, I think, I don't know if you saw my AI when you were on vacation. I had, I saw it. Scary has no more vacations in this month. Hey, listen, we got we got a lot of vacation, and you know what we are off the week of April sixth. You know after Easter that that week, Yeah, after Easter, we're off that week. I mean, what do I mean? Here's what I figured out. I figured out the reason you guys take more vacations since I left the show is that I did so much work that you guys have to cover now that you're that much more tired trying to be creative and do all the you know, cover all the things I did. You and Nate do all all the things I did, and other people have to run the internship program. You guys are now tired because I'm not there thirty one list You know what, Bertie, thirty one years on the job. It's you know, we we earn the vacation that we get, and I don't want to hear it. You know. You know what people you know, there are people that say that six you started in ninety six and ninety five, but Morning show started nine. This Morning show started in ninety six. Yeah, I've been here all that time, and you know, uh, I don't know. Listeners tell me, oh, you should check out this. There's this this like underground thread going on over here on this site or whatever. I don't know. There's this other people talking on this page there. I don't know, I don't I don't bother, I don't go near it because all they do is, you know, I mean, I mean, they're big fans, but a lot of them have just a lot of their opinionated about things and they yeah, which is fine, and that's what the forum is all about, I'm sure, but you know, they criticize, their hypercritical of the amount of vacations that we get as a show. And you mean the morning show, the Morning Show. Yeah, So all I can say is to that is you find yourself a job where you can negotiate a lot of vacation. Like, what do you want me to do? I mean, okay, no, no, that's not the right answer. Well, because it's not easy to do. It's not, it's not. But it's also if you have tenure, if you have thirty one years a ten year at a place, what do you expect? You know? The real answer is that it's Although it seems like a fun job, which it is, I think I've more than explained and proven that it wears you out and it grinds you down. And I'm going to tell you being home for two years doing the show from home during COVID and not going into work every day. Open my eyes and I think Elvis's and other people on the show to how life is different when you don't have to get up at four in the morning every day and go to bed early and restructure your whole life. I listen, not crying. I'm not crying about it. The scary is not crying about it. People work hard for a living, I believe me. I know I've done a lot of blue collar jobs. My dad was blue collar. I know that hard work is hard work. I'm saying it's mentally draining to do the kind of hours required because it's not normal hours to get up. So I understand why you might need eleven vacations, maybe not twenty six. All right, moving on that kind of stuff. You just let me, you know, you kind of took the wheel there and you didn't let me finish. Oh but Jesus no, I'm all right there, don't take the wheel carry.
00:20:06
Speaker 2: No.
00:20:06
Speaker 1: I just I think everybody is entitled to their own vacations. And but people are hyper critical over you know, something that we again we have earned and again thirty one years in, I'm very I personally, you know, when people get tired. It's four o'clock in the morning and and five days and welty of it. How many times most I watch every most shows Saturday, most shows. Most shows give you, give you like Saturday Night Live gives you twenty two episodes a year. Jimmy Fallon show goes on every few months. Does he does not do as much as I was going to say. He's on for one hour, and he's on for one hour a day, We're on for four, We're on four Take a breath. As a fan of Saturday Night Live, I was going to say, I understand how hard it is to write comedy and to write sketches and to put out that kind of output every week, and how many hours they put in. That doesn't mean I'm not frustrated when for the past two weeks I've had to, you know, to avoid repeats. Right, this Saturday is new, and I know I'm gonna watch it, and if it's not funny, I'm gonna go. You had three weeks, two weeks. Why isn't it funny? So I get it when last week Tonight takes off. Like all of the late night talk shows, like Jimmy Kimmel, they they all get a lot of time off, and they do one hour day, five days a week. They go on vacation in May and sometimes and come back in September. Then they go on vacation in November, come back in February. So I understand what it's like to be a frustrated fan, and we apologize this. So what is it you want to get rid of? We not get rid of? Well, I just have Do Do I need my graduation like year books and things I need? Yes? Do I need the Do I need my kindergarten very first drawing? You know? Yes, Macaroni art. Why isn't that your mother your mother and father's house. Why isn't hand it over to me? Oh? I don't think that shirt you moved out to? Shit? Is that shirt part of the things you worried about? I'll get rid of that, the brand new shirt, Dick, A shirt, Dick, you know I got. I also have mad magazines. What do I need mad magazines in my collection? I mean, I don't know, will I ever read them again? No? I mean why I don't have them? Okay, I don't know what. I don't know what it's called. I know people know cold hoarding. I I sometimes get comfort knowing that something is in the garage in a milk rate, even though I haven't looked at them in fifteen years. I've got magazines, rock magazines from from when I you know, when I was a teenager, when I was collecting magazines. You're in a milk rate. And I know if I go to the milk rate right now, I'd be like, oh, these are so awesome. But I know I'm not gonna go to the milk crek. But if I didn't have them, I would be like, oh, I don't. I don't know the magazines anymore. So I get it. It's a matter of overcoming that. And I am slowly but surely overcoming getting rid of some things like I'm selling baseball cards. I'm selling Oh I got baseball cards. I got comic books, Brodie. But thing I've got whatever it is, number one, whatever, the number one is for whatever, And I'm like, yeah, but not all number one is valuable exactly well so, but I thought it would be at the time I got my garbage kip pail kid collection. Obviously I'll hold onto that. But you know what I sold today? What for fifteen bucks? What again? Going through boxes of crap. I found a forty five For those of you who know whater forty five record is in the sleeve right. It was a nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears song that they put out in nineteen eighty five. I don't know why I have this. I don't know how I got it. I didn't get it out on that radio. We are the Bears shuffle crew, shuffle on down doing it for you. So I found it last week and I'm like, oh, I don't need this. I put it on I put it on uh Facebook. I got fifteen bucks for it. Fifteen bucks terrific. So the problem with that is then I start thinking, well, ever, all my crap is valuable. I can't throw any of this out. It all could be worth something. And that's when you get in trouble, because at some point you got to donate it and not worry about what it's worth. Brody. So I got I got Smith Corona typewriters. I've got I got movie projected type writers, typewriter. You have more than one, I have two. I have one really old one and have one electric Smith Corona. I've got trick. It's electric. But you will you will, you will you will you will? I I'd also have I also have got to put those on Facebook. People will buy those. Antique stores will buy them. Yeah yeah. People will want like a you know, old typewriter or like movie sets, like you know what I've got, I've got. I got. I got real to real movie projectors. I've got some watch in the fifties and sixties. I have those. I have one. And I have a real to reel player. You don't know what a real to real player is. Google it. Yeah. Audio, it's just it's like giant cassette wheels. And so my dad used to record me, so there's like I have hours of audio tape of me talking like as a five year old and a six year old, and I don't know what else you recorded. But I have a box of his reel to reels that I'm never gonna listen to. I know. I can go to Legacy Box and pay one thousand dollars to get it all converted. They're like, oh, it's only one hundred dollars for the box. The box isn't big enough. It's a I need, like I need one hundred dollars for the garage to convert all of the audio. What am I doing with all my cassette deck, my cassette tapes of me on the radio, of me doing a z one hundred airshifts in the overnight. I would get those digitized. I would do that if I were you. Look, I don't think you need every air shift, but there might be, like, there might be some you could get rid of. You don't need every airshift from like nineteen ninety nine, but there might be some good ones. I don't even know. It's just it's too much to go through. I've got I've got stacks of tapes. I've got I've got things like Brody. You have to see the collectibles I have. I've got video little little mini video games. Oh, I've got the original Nintendo with all the games I got legend to sell that. Okay that, Oh I loved legends. But you're talking about you're talking about Nintendo ninety five. There was Nintendo before, well, no, Nintendo. Yeah, the original Nintendo, the one, No. Nineteen eighty seven, eighty eight, the one, the Gold Cartridge, the Adventures of Link I've got Okay, Yeah, so here's what I would tell you. Some of that you gotta give to me and I'll sell it for you, and some of you gotta throw out. The Nintendo stuff has value. Your garbage pail kid sets have value. You have to go to a collector and sell that whole set. But who's got the time in the day. This is see, this is the kind of shit that I hate. And next time, the next time is a card show in New Jersey, I'll go with your book and I'll sell it for you. I just can't say anyway, but what about? What about? What about? Uh? The TV guides? Do I need these TV guides?
00:27:06
Speaker 2: No?
00:27:07
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I found in my garage a couple of weeks ago, a box of my father's played rational geographic no national geographic magazines. Again, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just think magazines that people cared about in the fifties and sixties. These are from the seventies. They they're not worth anything. What about anything? What about them? Aunt Millie's playbills from the every Broadway show she went through to in the seventies and the sixties, in the eighties, and they have real celebrities in them, like people that are like aless celebs were on Broadway in the show at the time. Okay, the problem is somebody on the planet wants them. You have to find a way to connect with them. You have to post them on eBay. Oh because people on eBay. But now you have to decide do I want to sell them like box of playbills or do you want to spend time and Google or eBay search each one and see if any of them are more value, like is the one with Barbara Streisand that was very funny. So absolutely she saw that. Oh you know what I did. Speaking of playbills, my wife and I were had gone to uh, Chicago or Toronto or Chicago many many, many many years ago and we went to see Second City. We went to see an improv show and I have the playbill from that show. We saw right and there was at least four people that were big names, but Tina Fey was one of the performers. And who plays Debbie Downer, Rachel Dratch, Rachel Dratch, It was Rachel Dratch, Debbie Downer and then maybe Horatio Sands or no, somebody somebody else in that era. Three people or four people ended up on Saturday Night Live and we saw them as nobody's in Chicago so it's it's cool to have a playbill from back in the day when people were like, oh oh my god, look who is in this again? You got to find someone who wants it. You know, you should do scary get all this stuff, and when you move into your new building, put all that stuff in a new storage place. Boys podcast, we will be right back. I'm done with storage, all right. Okay, so you know I have I have two dogs, right, yes, okay, we've had the MOOTSI, What'sie and Drew? Anyway? Uh, Drew likes to poop under the dining room table because it's carpeting under there, and Mutsie has learned if she's gonna poop in the house, she'll do it on the on the hardwood floor because she knows I don't like cleaning poop out of the carpet. Right, So, earlier in the week, I wake up in my I don't have a job time frame, right, I get up late, and uh I go out. I go yeah, I go out early. And and the dogs really didn't get walked because my job to walk them if I'm going out, and I didn't really walk them. I did like a I was like, oh, I guys let me right back, because I left them out for like two seconds on the deck and then uh, I was like, they didn't really have to go, and I was like in a rush. So I left the house and when I came home, there was a poop under the under the dining room bill dining on the road. A poop deck, No, I have a Yeah, they sometimes poop on the deck, so I know it's Drew. So he pooped under the table. So I scoop it up in a little in a little bag, like we have sandwich bags in the house. I took a sandwich bag and I picked up the poop right and I didn't have to take the spot shot. The Cannas spot shot. You spray it, you get the stains out of the carpet. And I took the paper towels and I clean up all of the poop. Whatever. Okay, So I watched TV for a little while and then I went out again. Now at that point, both doors what se pooped outside, Drew pooped in the house, So I'm it's safe to go out for a little while. So I run to the post office and I do a couple errands, and I come back and it smells like poop in the house. So it smells like poop in the dining room, living room area. So I'm looking. I look under the table again. I'm like, drough to you poop again and I I don't. I don't see any poop. So I'm like, maybe I missed the spot. I clean the carpet again. I still smell O God, So I get I get air freshener, and I spray the carpet. Okay, So I'm like, oh, maybe I missed the spot. So I'll spray the carpet and that'll that'll be fine anyway. I go, and I I jump in the shower because I I'd run out of the house in the morning, jump in the shower. I come back downstairs, and it's it smells like poop again, Like I don't understand. So I I there's a candle in the in the in the wind island handle in the wind and so I burn a candle for an hour or two to get, you know, make this house smell a little better. And uh, because I know it stinks and anyone who walked into the house is gonna smell it. So I gotta go get the smell out of the house. Okay, So the candle seemed to fix the problem, and I walk the dogs again. I come back in the house and uh, I smell pooping. Oh god, So I'm like, I don't understand. So I look under the table and the dog didn't poop. I can't figure out what's going on. I think I know what. I'm crawling around under the table trying to figure out if I missed anything. And then I see it. When I cleaned up the first time, I put the bag of poop on a chair while I cleaned the floor. Ah, so I left the doggie bag of poop on the dining room tablet. It was gonna be under your sneaker or something like that. No, nope. So all that I can't figure out. You know why it smelled like poop six hours late and scary? I guess it was poop there six hours. I don't know, Slices, if you ever done that before, like picked up the poop and then put it down and forgot where it was, and then you smell and poop again. But yeah, so I kept yelling at a dog, did you poop again? Did you poop again? Yeah? Poop? I had poop chair. Well, you're doing all that. I was hiking. I hiked Brody. I hiked up like a little mini mountain. You'd be so proud of me. I mean it was in a speed bump in the road and I was I was in Costa Rica and I hiked for about a good forty five minutes to get to the top of a volcano, to look to look into a volcano. I could see into the crater from above. It was the most fascinating, exhilarating thing I've done in a long time. I was up in Escazoo or Antonio, San Antonio. Some part of I forgot of of uh, of Costa Rica and I it was me and Jetski, Brian and our boy Lester, and I couldn't believe I was doing this because I'm not just hiking. I'm hiking on an incline and my body doesn't go that way. It was you know, yeah, it doesn't. My body likes to like to walk on flat surfaces or down or down, yeah or down. We don't like to do. But somehow we made it up there. And how many times have you been to Coasta Rica? Was breathtaking eight. This was a different part. There was a different a new part of Costa Rica that we have never been. Yeah, there's two hundred and thirty something forty countries. You keep going on the same one. Well there's well, there's nine different areas, ten different areas you can go to in Costa Rica. I still have to have one more to check off on your body. La Fortuna and Su Santa Teresa. I haven't been there yet either. These are beautiful places, but no, I've been to Guanacasta and Tamarindo and Hermosa Beach and Little Swenos and menuill Antonio and Campos. You know what, do you know what her Mosa Beach means? Uh? No, but it's a black sand beach, I'll tell you that. And all the surfers there were. Her Mosa Beach attracts like like you catch a wave, dude, like those types of people from uh, from the west coast, but their longboards. Oh man, by the way, is is it her Mosa Beach or is it her most supplier plia Hermosa Okay that means beautiful beach. Oh yeah, well anyway it is. It's black. You know, you know, a croast Coasta Rica, rich coast there you go very nice so h yeah, and and it's very The reason why is because it's lush greenery and you know, well it's it's it's very I mean rich coast. No, I know, why why do they call it that? Well, according to the Internet, Christopher Columbus may have given it the name because they thought there was gold there. Okay, well, it's rich with lush greenery and and and I'll tell you that it's great. You're doing rainy rainy season produces some beautiful like trees and green and birds and colorful birds. Saw the macaw parrots, saw monkeys again. It was fun. It was a good time. And and and we stayed one night in San Jose in a in a neighborhood called Barrio Escalante. Now we had never done this before either. Barrio Escalante is this fancy neighborhood. It's like the Williamsburg I guess of Costa Rica, all coffee shops, all like cool restaurants and bars and well foodies, paradise. And we had we had a great time there too. So anyway, my point is, Uh, while Mexico is shooting each other with the cartels and people are running for their lives, go spend another extra hour on a plane to a place that's pretty much cheaper than Mexico and you probably get better flights. You know. I feel like we would never advert it. They never advertised the tourism councils for for Costa Rica and some of these other countries. That was never as a kid growing up, what did you see Bahamas, Aruba, Puerto Ricana, Florida, Vegas? And why because those tourism boards spent the most marketing dollars on ad dollars, so you can see them and go there. So we are conditioned to go to these places. And there's just other countries to go to, and of course, but you keep going to well make it to Europe in April, so are all good for you? By the way, Uh, just to cleric clear there a little bit. Reports say that the people that were killing each other in Mexico was gang on gang violence. It was, but we were caught, we were caught in the crosshairs. No, no, Americans weren't. Weren't. No, I know we weren't, but no, but we still It's it's just I don't know if i'd be going I know, I don't know if you're gonna be booking your ticket to Mexico. Brody, Well, I'm not going anywhere, dude, because uh, you know money, but uh listen, half the country's going on spring break to Mexico. So yeah, well you know what, they should actually reroute. My point is try other places. They'll be fine. We're gonna go to Cancun. They're gonna go to like, uh Tapa. Well you know you know what they you know who does hot cal you know who doesn't want them? And I mean this has been now three four years in a row. Is South Beach, Miami. They're oh, yeah, they don't want the trouble. They do not depend there. The locals don't want it, but the business is due the businesses, yes, but the law enforcement and the people the residents were like, get the fuck out of here. So and no, I get that. They're putting stringent laws. They have curfews, They're they're really making it difficult for people to uh to have a part alady on South Beach, which is where I ended up after Costa Rica. By the way, I went to. Your flight was your poor bastard. We talked about this on the on Slice time. Your poor bastard. You couldn't get home I could not get home. I'm lucky I went to Miami because that allowed me to come to New York. But no, all the all the flights were canceled. How did you do? How did you make out during the blizzard? What was going on here? Uh? Well, uh, I'll tell you what. Not owning a home, it's much nicer. Well, you don't have to shovel your ida. Four car a four car driveway in my house, right, two car garage, and she had four parking spaces on the driveway, and so I did most of the shoveling because you know, I did most of the shoveling at times. So it was a lot of shoveling. Now. Uh, with living in a town home, they shovel for you, They tumble for you, they shovel for you. Uh. They shovel around my car. They did everything except clear off the car. But my father pays a guy. They got, They got guys to come around the neighborhood. But my father just breaks them off some cash because of one hundred bucks to shove them out. Yeah, I'll tell you though. One of the streets in my neighborhood is a dead end street, okay, And there's there's townhouses on both sides of the dead end street. Now it's not a cul de sac, it's a dead end street. So the plows pushed all of the snow down the dead end street right because at the end of the street there's like a forest, but there was so much snow scary from the storm that the mountains started by the forest, and then the mountains started blocking town homes. So the first two town homes on the left side and the right side of the street had a mountain of snow in front of them that the cars couldn't get out, and the plow guys, I guess weren't paying attention. They just kept filling the street up with snow, and so those those four houses you couldn't get your car out. It was two days later that they brought a flatbed, not a flatbed like you ever seen those like you know, you get dumpster when like this, when this construction those long dumpsters. Yes, it was a truck with a very long dumpster like type thing. Uh. And then like the plows with the scoops, they were picking up the show and had thrown it into the back of this long truck thing right and getting the snow out. But for a couple of days you're asking, I did, fine, but the people on the dead end street at the end, they were ft. I did. I did. Want to segue real quick because we're talking about being in Costa Rica. You don't speak any Spanish, correct, well, high school regions Spanish. Yeah, like a few words, and I speak restaurants Spanish. Okay, I can. I can say I need you to I need onions, I need mushrooms. I needed to cut this, clean, this mop this right. Whatever I needed to say in restaurants I learned, so you know, every once in a while I whip out a little Spanish when I I'm talking to somebody who might speak Spanish. I try to, you know whatever. Right. Well, there's a guy who who plays pickleball with us, and he's there once a month, really nice guy, and he's he's hard of hearing, so he's got an he's got an you know, an ear piece that helps him a little bit. But he reads lips and so when you play pickleball with him, you have to, you know, you have to call it the score, you know, three four one, meaning it's it's we have sugar four. Yes, everyone, Okay, but because he's mostly deaf, he taught me sign language numbers right, one through five is easy, but six, six, you know I'm doing it. You make the okay sign. You pinch your your thumb your first finger, seven is the second finger, eight is the third finger, and nine is the pinky and of course ten is just two hands. Yep. Right, So I learned sign language. So all night I'm speaking sign language to the guy, you know, as far as numbers, and he reads my lips. I make sure I speak, you know, speak to him anyway. Not About an hour goes by and he's standing by the by the TVs and by the ledge, you know, waiting for his turn to go back on. And I had a brain fart. I wanted to communicate to him and right, and I wanted to say, because it was snowing that night, how cold it was, But I don't know how to say it's cold in sign language. And in my mind I'm like, I can't speak English to this guy because he's deaf. So my brain farted and I went, hey, I say mucho frio, which means it's it's really cold, but he doesn't speak Spanish. No, So my mind was like I can't speak English to him, so I'm like, how you just grip your own arms and be like whoo, Yes, you're missing the point. It wasn't that I spoke Spanish because I couldn't speak sign language. In my mind, I knew he didn't. There was something. I was, what is it with him? Again? He doesn't speak English? So I spoke Spanish. He looks to a guy who's deaf, right right, It's like if they were Italian or you know where. I saw the language and I was like, I spoke Spanish. It doesn't help help. My brain fought and I was like and he was like, what, Like it's cold. They read my lips and then he was like, read my lips, read my lips. Take a break. We will be back okay with Scary Rotie. It's really really funny what's going on at the radio station. So the way we have our desks positioned in the morning show Bullpen, you know the area where we all work when we're not on the air, mhmm. We're kind of in a courtyard butted up against another building where they are people that are living, like someone kitchen is over here, and then the next room is someone's bedroom and see into somebody's bathroom. I mean, it's New York City high rises, so everyone's on top of one another. In the old studio, we could look into the hotel across the sort right in this one. Yeah, maybe about maybe I don't know, fifty feet away, thirty maybe you could see into a window. And there's this woman in this window every morning that you know, Nate noticed. She's probably in her like thirties or something. She doesn't appear to have a boyfriend, but like right after ten or eleven o'clock in the morning, she's kind of roaming around her kitchen or but it's directly out the window in front of Nate's desk. So Nate's been a little you know, flirty here and there. You know, he's like, hey, how you doing. You know, they you know, they look at each other or whatever. So they have this kind of like this romance from a distance going. So I thought it would be a good idea. I said, well, Nate, why don't you just write a sign? Right, just write single question mark and sharpie and just hold it up to her. Now is that creepy or is that cutesy? Because I think it's so silly and when I said whimsical, they made fun of the way I said whimsical. Is that whimsical so whimsical that it may it may actually work. I mean because just for the story itself, I met my boyfriend because he held up for sign and asked if I was single. We started dating. We never communicated. I think she will take the bait. He doesn't think so. He thinks ah. I mean, remember this has been going on now a little bit for a few days. They kind of like, you know, they see each other at a glance, you know, oh hi, whatever. But remember she's in another building that's facing ours, but they could see each other, and he thinks she's the street. He thinks she's she's hot. So what do you think? Do you think that it's creepy? If he was to hold up a sign and try is that a form? Is Is it too aggressive? Or? I said, what do you got to lose? I agree, I don't think. Listen, nowadays, you swipe on people, you you slip into the DMS. He's basically just slipping into her window. Oh that doesn't sound right. Wait a minute, you know what you know what I mean? Listen, if if this was like Meg Ryan in the eighties, you'd be like, oh, it's adorable. Oh it's it's shute. It's a rob top right, It's almost like it's from a movie. You know that this is going on. So I don't know. I don't know if he looks at her mailbox in the lobby and figures out who she is and her name, that looks her up on social media and sends her a DM and says, oh, I tracked you down. That's that's creepy. But the if it's just a matter of, uh, hold up a sign, what's your number? You know? Now? Can she see that you guys are on the radio or just she's she's just no, no, see the view she has is is the office view. She has got no clue what's going on down the hallway that we have studios. Okay, So if she likes him, it won't be because he's on the radio, correct, It'll it'll be because from a distance he looks attractive. What is he a monet? Oh yeah right, No, listen, no, Nate's a good looking guy. Just I'm saying she's from a distance, she's like, oh that guys, I got the reference. Yeah, yeah, anyway, that that's Uh that that's I don't know, slices that creepy. What do you think leave us a talk back exactly? Is that okay? If? Well? Okay? First of all, so guys, oh women too, would you write the message and or would you be okay getting the message? Like if you're in a living room and you see some guy like, I don't know, it depends, you know what I think, It depends on what you're in. If she's looking at her kitchen window, it's fine. If she's looking at her bathroom window not fine? Is that fair? Fair enough? Okay? I wish you were with me at the South Beach one at food festival. Oh my god. I got to catch the tail end of that when I landed in Miami on Sunday from Coasta. Oh my god, the food from Coasta is on a first name basis. Now me, me, me and the country on a first name basis. I mean, I mean, I mean I was a coast. Well we're well, you know, I'll say this. Uh, the the Wine and Food festival, it's just the one in Florida is just crushes the one in New York. There's no comparison, isn't it? The same guy who runs it though?
00:49:43
Speaker 2: Lee?
00:49:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, Lee Schrager. They're they're there, they're basically, but it's outside, it's on the sand, it's under tents. Oh yeah, yeah. They have all the celebrities out there, but it's just spread out. And this happened while you were trapped in Florida and couldn't get home to New Dys. Hey, hey, I was trapped. Let's keep the story straight. I'm telling stories about people being trapped in their homes because of the snow, and scary was trapped in South Beach at the wine and food festival. You poor bastard. Hey, it's sunk to sixty six degrees on Monday and Tuesday. I did not expect. Oh my god, I hope you're okay. Sixty six degrees. Did you get frost bite? No? But I had some bites of some frozen Caviare you know the people from New York because they're walking around short sleeve shirts and no jacket. But sixty six degrees for the people in South Florida, Yeah, to get there, layered up, splinging. Do Are we taking a break? And I have time to tell you about chatch ept? No, you got time? So I've told you that chatch ept has lied to me in the past, yep, where it's like, oh, I'm gonna get that that pitchure done for you. Was supposed to get that project done and it kept putting it off, right, it lied to me. And granted, sometimes check GPT gives you an answer and it's not exactly accurate. Like when I when when I pulled up I said, oh, who's David Brody from Z one hundred and it pulled up a picture in Nate Remember that, Yes, like I knew who I was, but then put the wrong picture up. Well, when you when you sign up for chat GPT, when you create your profile, you tell it some things about you. You tell it, you know, I tell it my name, kind of your job. I have mind right, mind us, mind us too, right, okay if I if I in fact, it's so smart, like i can just open it up right now and be like, hey, I'm like, who's so, who's on the Elvis Stand Morning show? And he'll it'll say no, no, no, but that cause that's because it googles it. No no, no, no no, But it'll say who it is. No, no, He'll say, it'll say it. He'll say you are. They'll say, oh, and you're on that you're on that show, which is wild. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna put you to the test in a second. The reason I'm bringing this up is that there was a major chat GPT update about three weeks ago, major update, and they changed the voice. So now I used to have like a choice of six voices. Yeah, is one voice. One voice. Can't change it. And all the memories got wiped out. So even though on my memory page it talks about my childhood, how many kids I have, I have no siblings. I taught everything about me, so when I asked the questions, it would have a reference point to based it off of. Right, Okay, so you know my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, Yes it was. So this happened while it wasn't remembering anything, so nothing I taught it. It remembers. It knows my name and my dog's names, and that's it. It has amnesia. Doesn't remember my family, doesn't remember anything about my history. Nothing's my birthday, I say, I say to chet GPT, good morning, it's good morning, David, I said it. It's a big day today. You know why today is special, and I figured I'll get a nice birthday greeting. No clue you know what, chat Cheep says, no, no, no, no, So chat cept will not tell you. It doesn't know something. It just gives you the first thing that pops into its hands. Oh, so what did it say? I said? I said, do you know why today's a big day for me? Chet gpt He says, yes, I do. Today's the anniversary of your parents dying in a car crash. What? No, it didn't. I swear to God, I swear on both of my parents, even though neither one of them is alive. Well, obviously they died in a car crash. No, come on, no really, I said, what what is special about today? And it said today's anniversary of your parents dying in a car grab. I didn't. I didn't record it because who I didn't think. I thought it was that from I don't know. There's nothing in my profile that I never said anything but a car accident or my parents dying in a car I said, what are you fucking stupid? Why would you say that? I'm sorry, I go tell yeah. Then it starts licking your butthole. So oh, it'll never happen again, you know, yes, I'll be more attentive. Yes, Uh no, it doesn't remember. I asked it again. So so here's the thing. It doesn't remember anything, but I've told it a hundred times. Don't make shit up. I was I was sick a few weeks ago. So I said, hey, chet GPT do you remember I was sick for a couple of days. Do you remember what I had? I had a call I COmON called, yes, you were suffering from leukemia. Stop. I swear to God, I'm not making this up. I'm telling you. If it doesn't know, it doesn't know how to say. I don't know. Well that that makes that. I know it always makes some ship, but but where is it pulling these random and severe disease. Never had leukemia. Never, And you can't teach you how to say things. Because my dogs and they same Muzzarella. We call her Mutsie. Chat Ebt cannot say Mutsie. It says Mootsie. I say no, no, Mutsie like Footsie. Got it rhymes with footsie Mootsi. Not mussy there yet. But the technology I've seen a lot of it's so brilliant but scary. I'm telling you. I wish I had the audio when I said why is today special for me? And it said, I remember it's the anniversary of when your parents died in a car accident. Uh So, Slices, if you've got any ridiculous responses from from any AI platform you use, let us know. But yeah, it's the podcast. Is this our last break? Yeah? It is, unfortunately, and now the end is near and so our face the final curtain. So I have, I have, I have. I'm gonna have to pay. So I teased something on Slice time I'm gonna save for next week. I talked about how security had to be called on me, uh in a in a store. But I don't I'm right now. It's it's ten thirty at night, and I don't have the energy, and it's I don't want to wake anybody up. Okay, so I'm not gonna I can't do it. I'm gonna tell you can't. Yeah, yeah, because people are sleeping. However, I did want to tell you a story because I need to know, Slices, what you would do and or what you think I should do in this situation. So there's a trail mix that I really really really like that they sell at Costco. Sure, and I bought a bag and I went back with another bag. And the way Costco works is sometimes they get close outs and they don't sell them anymore, so you have to like sometimes stock up because if you love it, they don't have anymore. So I bought five or six bags of this trail mix. Okay, real good. It's got uh cashoes and and cashoes, almonds and yoga chips. It's really good. Anyway, I would say maybe the third or fourth bag I open up.
00:57:11
Speaker 2: Now.
00:57:11
Speaker 1: I don't know about how most people eat trail mix. Some people like look in the bag and they pick out the almonds pickins leave them on the side that oh I love raisins. Anyway, I put a fist in and I take it, and sometimes i'll, you know, I'll put a little bit of my mouth right. And sometimes if you have like if the amount in the palm of your hand, and guys probably know this more than women, but sometimes you have like just the right size a mount in your palm where you just shove it all in your mouth like popcorn and right. So I do that because I'm leaving the house, so I'm like, oh, I gotta get I gotta get my coat on. I can't have the stuff. I put all my mouth and I go go cow and I bite down on a piece of metal. Uh oh and I and I'm like what the so, I'm like, pump, I spit out the food in my mouth and I get what looks like the letter A. It's an inch high and then there's a little arch and an inch high the other side. I'll put a picture up on Instagram, but so, and it's and it's got a hole at the bottom of each of the of the legs of this little so it looks like it looks like a little metal uh, like a letter A or a V. And it it's about it. I would say it's an inch and an inch folded in half, like a two inch piece of metal folded in half. It must have fallen off machinery or something. I don't know. So first I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go back to Costco and get my money back. I'm like, wait a minute. If I get my money back, I'm gonna get like six bucks back for the bag of you know, then what what if this what if this batch is bad? You know they have the batch codes on the bag. Sure what if all the machinery went into this. I don't know what's going on. I'm gonna call the company. So I called the company yesterday and I tell them what happened. Oh sir, you okay? Well that were you injured? I said, well, it was sharp and although I wasn't bleeding, it did scrape the top of my mouth. It was quite painful, which it was. And I have this metal thing. Can you describe it? I describe it? She says, do you have the technology to send us a picture of it? Which I thought. I was like, okay, what I said, do I have the technology to send you a picture? Of course I do. Well, you'd be surprised how many of our customers do not know how to do that. What I said, Look, I said, I don't know what ninety five year old customers you have, but I can. Please. I'm good, I'm verified on Instagram, I'm good sorright, Well, we'll send you an email address. It takes down my information, and she is, you know, we're gonna notate this and give us the batch number and on the bag and and the some of the barcode information. So they' what the size of the bag was until I got into Costco roughly when I bought it, and she says, I we're gonna send you a after you send us a picture, We're gonna mail you a padded envelope for you to put the piece back and mail it to us. Okay. So I say, all right, So I'm giving you the evidence just out of curiosity. What what's the policy here? Right? What are the outcomes the possible outcomes here when you see that this is a piece of machinery that exists in your factory, that was in my basis. Well, sir, you know all of our food goes through metal detectors. I can't imagine any metal got through. I said, oh, well, your metal detectors aren't working because this got through. It was in the bag. I'd put it in my mouth. So I said, you got to figure out what happened. Other people don't get injured. Where's your free dessert? So I said, so what the times? So he says, what are you going to do to make it right?
01:00:49
Speaker 2: Right?
01:00:50
Speaker 1: So she says, well, sir, you know, if this proves to be a piece of metal in your bag, I'm like, yeah, you know, we will. We will immediately send you a coupon for free bag to replace the bag. I say, whoa, whoa, whoa what? She says, well, what do you mean? What do I mean? I can go back to Costco and get a refund. Yeah, that's not my problem. My problem is your company left metal in the bag. I could have cut my mouth open, and although I didn't, I said, I'm not looking to screw anybody, right, but you got to do something for me more than a coupon for another bag of your your metal infested fruit, your trail mix. You gotta win me back, right, win me back to the customer, right, win me back? Well, well, what is it you want? What would you What are you asking for? I said, no, no, no, no, no, no no, I'm not going to tell you what I'm asking for, because if I say ten bucks, you're gonna send me ten bucks, You're gonna tell me what you're gonna send me. I want your management to see that there was a piece of metal in my bag and make me an offer. Make me an offer I can't refuse. She says, sir, that's highly irregular. I said, you know what else? Highly regular? A piece of metal in my in my trail mix. A that I into and it hurt. I said, So, look, I'm not looking to sue you, but certainly you have a policy. What do you mean, Well, you must have a policy if I if I'm in a restaurant, restaurant bites down a restaurant and somebody bites down on the steak and there's a broken piece of fork or something, right, I'm gonna give them one hundred dollars or something. I'm not just give them a steak if you buy it. If it was a piece of glass in their in their spaghetti, I'm not gonna be like, oh, sorry, there's a bug on your pasta. I'm not gonna go get the bug off there for you comp the meal, You comp the meal, you give them a credit card, give him a gift card to come back the next time. So I was just saying, you must have a policy when someone's upset. Just I don't know such a thing. I go, I'll tell you what you have my information, send me the little packet, and before I mail this piece back, I would like to know what you're gonna do for me. So slices, What should I do? Should I just be like, give me a coupon and call it a day, or should I ask for one hundred dollars twenty dollars? Is it five? Okay? Scary? I low ball? Tell me tell me why twenty dollars isn't enough scary? Because that just you could have broke your tooth. What if that? What if there was dental damage there and you have to go see a dentist? Right? What if I got I said to her, I said, you know, there's a little rust on here. What if I got tetanus? Yeah? Now, look, I'm playing the ward. If I did, I didn't get injured. So before slices, you yell at me, go, well you didn't get injured. Ye, I know. I didn't get injured. By the way, However, I did get into lot. It was a lot of pain involved in biting down on the sharp edge of this thing. And I'm gonna post it on my Instagram At David bro you mentioned TuS. I actually got punctured by a rusty piece of something earlier to this evening, and I and I it's like, oh, yeah, well I actually came up here and I washed it out. But what is exactly wash out tetanus? What is tetanus? Well, it lives on rust among other things. But it's bad and get an infection in your in your hand? Does does tetanus? This is it?

01:05:33
Speaker 1: Okay, lo, waitazu? How can I tell right away if I may have tetanus? Or should I immediate a shot?
01:05:41
Speaker 2: You can't tell right away if you have tetanus, as symptoms like lockjaw appeared days later. However, if you have a dirty wound or aren't sure about your vaccinations, get a tetanus shot right away within about one to two days to be safe.
01:05:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:05:54
Speaker 2: For medical advice or a diagnosis, consult a professional.
01:05:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got one to two days before You're on four off? No way to secul Like, how do I know? Wait a second, but if I if I I did? She just told you? If you if that was rusty and you punctured your skin and the rusty thing went into your hand. You better go get a tennis shot. But it wasn't it just it just punctured something real quickly. Okay, today is Thursday. If I were you at six am tomorrow in the morning show, I would ask that question and see if you can get a doctor to come and give you a tennis shot on the air. You know it goes in your belly button, right, does it? Is it a long needle? Yes? Yeah, yes, it goes in your belly button. That's why a lot of people don't get it. Dude, I don't know what to do. Now you've got the radio. I'm freaking out. Well, no, it was. It was just it was the bottom of a of some kind of machine. I don't necessarily think it was rusty. It could have just been a piece of metal that hit me. But do I know it might not have been rushed. Okay, did you look at the metal that didn't or you have no idea what it was? I don't know what it was. Was it your lucky nail collection? Now I'm wondering what this was. Now you'll have to know if it was. If it was oxidized and rusty and orange, and that it went into your skin. You may have a problem. If it was just a sharp thing, like the kind of thing you'd find in a bag of trail mix. You should be a sharp thing. Yeah, you want to talk about this at six oh five tomorrow around the room they have tens. I don't know. Well, anyway, we'll figure that out. You'll be proud of me though. Again it's getting all red. What is that? That's bad? You should what a picture up on Instagram that's that's ripped off. It looks like it's puss. There is that puss. No, it's ripped off skin. Anyway, you'd be really proud of me, I guess. So I have these guys painting my house, painting the walls, and they're they're not lime wiring it.
01:08:05
Speaker 2: No.
01:08:05
Speaker 1: I decided on Kensington Blue from Benjamin Moore, the Aura A Collection, and they're painting, painting, painting, and then we went out of paint and they pick up another thing of paint. Well, next thing you know, they go over it and they're like, oh my god, this paint doesn't match. I'm in Costa Rica in the pool. I'm freaking out and I'm like, wait a minute, doesn't match. You ask for the same code. The paint has numbers on it. What's going on? I called the store. As it turned out, the kid behind the counter, he mixed a bad batch of paint. He mixed the wrong base to make the color that I needed. So now the painters have started on another wall and it's a different color. But now it's late in the day, on on Friday, and they were supposed to be wrapped up by Friday night. Because we'd run out of the paint. We had to get the second can. Well yeah, we yeah, Well what happens they said to the paint store said, well, uh yeah, we we uh accidentally screwed up. Yeah, So so the paint store decides they were going to make another batch and just give it to me for free. David Brody absolutely, absolutely, But but what else do these guys had. These guys, these guys had to come back the next day. Oh, someone's got to pay for the labor. So David Brody I got on the phone with them and I said, not only are you going to go deliver hand deliver that paint can to my unit so these guys can pick up the job. But they got to come back tomorrow now, and this job is supposed to be wrapped up today. They were like, well, how how much is it going to be? I said, that's gonna cost me two hundred and fifty dollars. Oh no, they're they're they should have said they were lime painting at all. Whatever, lime washing. So they're like all right, and the guy took off two hundred and fifty dollars refunded me two hundred and fifty dollars in paint. Good. Well, you remember that happened to me when we were painting the house to sell it. That's my free dessert. Yes, that's I'm very proud of you. Remember when I was painting my house light gray, make everything neutral, and and it came out black yes, And the guys were painting my upstairs black yes. And then when I went back to guys like, well you want a cheap paint, I go, the collar of the paint is not determined by the base cheapness. And so anyway, so home Depot gave me They're like, oh, well, well we'll replace the paint. I said, oh no, no, no, no, I need you to replace all the paint I bought because I'm paying these guys. They just wasted four hours painting. Now I gotta come back here to get the paint again. Same thing. So they gave me all the pain for free, like two hundred and something dollars worth the pain for free. Because you're right, it's not just the paint, it's the labor. You're paying for it. And they gotta do it. They gotta do the job again, and you gotta get the guys to come back again. And because the paint was black, they had to put two coats of paint to cover up the black paint. So I got and I was pissed off that the guy yelled at me. So yeah, you got free dessert. So I got free. I got my free paint can, and two hundred and fifty dollars were discounted on the other cans of paint. So oooh yeah, love that got my free dessert, free dessert. Loving that that another disciple does well. I wasn't letting them get away with shit. Boys choice
