Speaker 1: Start uf, dot up, start Up, Brooklyn Boy, start up, Brooklyn Boys, start data. They're making noise data dot up. Episode one seventy one. This is the Brooklyn Boys podcast. It's us. I'm David Brody, I'm Scary Jones. That together we are the Brooklyn Boys. Yeah, and we don't normally talk like that. So if this is your first episode, calm down. So a good I gotta say, we don't sound like other podcasts. We were talking about this this afternoon too. We just like come right out of the shoot and we are for some reason, and I don't know why, Brody. We just tell it like it is and we lay it out on the line. We were our hearts on our sleeves. So I've been listening to a bunch of the podcast. We're on vacation last week, so I listened to a bunch of other podcasts and I have to say, Um, one of them is ripping us off. We'll talk about that later. They do a good pod cast, but they're ripping us off. And then I listened to a couple that were kind of jankety and one that was very like about the radio over Budd's podcast, tell us about what I'm saying we're talking like that, we're talking to the podcast, and I'm like, dude, you're not you should not be doing that, not doing a radio show. You're doing a podcast and you're just talking, and you know it's a podcast should always sound like we're just part of the room. Like I'm gonna read a couple of uh um d m s later on that pretty much where we got people through the pandemic because they're like cooking in their kitchen and we're just bull We're just bullshitting in the background like friends. That's how a podcast should come off at all times, Like when you come off like we're actual friends, which is like, you know, amazing, we're talking. I mean, we we really put on a charade if you think about it, because we're really not. We've ate each other's guts. No I'm kidding, uh no, but we talked. We we talk to you, not at and there's a big difference speaking of us being buddies and friends and all in real life. I was trying to think, like because somebody said to me, oh, you guys are good friends because we we've done some interviews lately. I've done a few interviews. You've done a few for other podcasts, and uh, somebody said to me like, oh, you guys, you guys hang around you friends off to the podcast, like yeah, yeah. And I was thinking of an example of us hanging out right, and it was us going to every Mets game at the World Series. And then I realized that was And I'm not sure we've hung out since. No, we have. We have the time that I took you for you steak dinner, remember that the freebee. Yeah, but that was like seventeen eighteen. And then when you got your free steak dinner that night, which free steak dinner to acknowledge it was one time since I'm trying to think what else pandemic aside, although pandemic speaking, else did we yeah? But when else? What did we really hang out? Not much my point, but it's on you, buddy. I'm out. I'm out. No, I will say pandemic aside right, like, we haven't hung out, but pandemic inside or outside as it were. I've seen you more than any of the member of the show, true, which I think now is twice, which I'm sad. In a year, it's said, it's said, it's time to get back to normal. I'm sorry, it's over. We're done. Well update because a bunch of people I want I can't name everybody, because it was a bunch of you. So last episode we talked about how you were vaccinated and I was not vaccinated, and a lot of people were deeming me saying I can hook you up, I can make appointments. Nothing I legitimate, just they're good at it. They're good at making the appointments. Um. I have since been vaccinated once. Congratulations, got I got the first shot. Um My arm was sore for a couple of days, not a huge deal, and I'm excited counting down the days to the second show. By the way, this is not a commercial for us to say you should get the vaccine. You shouldn't get the vaccine. You do what you want. I do balls. I'm gonna say you should get it. That's what I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna say, make your own decisions as long as you as long as you consider the whole planet needs you to do it. So anyway, my point is, are you trying to get That's Jewish guilt right there. That is not Jewish. Not gonna do a Gewish guilt. That's science anyway, I didn't get a sticker. So like when I voted, I didn't get a vote sticker. They were out. When I got my shot, I was like, hey, do I get a I got vaccine sticker? Now we're out of them. Yeah, I got I got one. I gotta, I gotta. I want a shot that you know. I wanted my card to say, get off my ass. I got the shot, Okay, because I got it for the wrong reasons, all right. I got I got the shot because if if I'm gonna be completely honest, because I just want to be able to have the v I P and the perks in life. Right Because a lot of these places, like the American Airlines Arena down in Miami saying, oh, the first two sections are for people with VAX cards. Well wait a second, I want that card. Yeah, or you see what let's see obviously, you know about Crispy Kreme. You get a free donut every single day. Let's be honest. That's why you did it. Because I have not cashed in once, but you would. I mean, look, you like free ship. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not looking for Donna. You see what Sam Adam's food? Sam Adam is the latest one to orfer a perk. They're offering people free beer if you could prove you have a vax card. So it's like, wait a second, well, you gotta prove you a vaccinate, but I also want to have a vaccoll obviously, but I also want to be able to go around if I want to visit Grease this summer. Grease might the Grease government might say the Greek government like, hey, you can't come in without one. I'm like, fuck you, I got one. Boom, I get in now. It's almost like my my get in. So you're saying, if you're going to grease, or you want a free donut, get a vax, I got you. If you want to grease, so you want to eat some grease, you get. But anyway, but my my larger point is, yeah, I just don't want people to bother me anymore. Like I want to be able to walk into a venue if I have to host it. But you also, you also got the vaccine. And one of the things you're most excited about was your ability to travel, and then when you traveled, you got yelled at on social media for traveling because my god, someone tried to cancel me. Someone literally, someone tried to cancel me. They were like, you are a public figure, and you should set the example for others by staying home because I don't know what you who you think you are. And I'm thinking, like, this person doesn't know me from Adam. They don't know, they don't know what I'm stayed home. By the way, Yeah, Adam, whoever he was, just he is, He's still alive. But the point is, don't try and fucking cancel me. You know what, People can make their own decisions and make their own a sess well, but more importantly, you you you, you traveled safely, you have the vaccine, and I can go and see anybody I can do who again, remember that those days never get sprayed in the face with carbon nitrogen. I I I celebrated a club bed So that was was DJ Pillow DJ Pillow clubbed, all inclusive snacks, all inclusive, diet cokes with no ice. It was great, great vacation. Huh. And I I was in the hot tub, so that counts. And uh and my pool opens two and a half weeks. By the way, we've been friends for how long? Still waiting for that? In fight for your pool to be you know, well, now that we'll both be vaccinated, there's no excuse last year with something. Last year you gave the oh it's COVID excuse, can't have scary in my pool. What's your excuse this year, buddy? Well, you know what, you got, the one shot vaccine. My pools only for the two shot vaccine people. So are you vaccinaing? Know? No? Um? I do also want to make one clarification from last episode. I left out a joke that has been bothering me all week, and so I read one of our our listeners sent us pictures of a beagle. Right. I looked like it was a quick Mart or one of the quick food places, gas station places where the foods pre wrapped in the little refrigerators, and it was a beagle with some stuff on it. I'm sorry, I apologize if you guys were screaming it out loud. I don't know how I missed this, but clearly it's a spiegel because it's you know, at a gas station, a ship A ship A ship, yeah, because it's spelled the p E A G E L. But if it's a ship one, it's a spiegel. So I do want to apologize for missing that opportunity to call it a spiegel spiegel speak spel alright speak cool. Well that's you finally got your joke. Kid. You've been we get right two weeks because we gave him a bonus episode. Actually it was last it was last week. I'm gonna listen. This is episode one seventy one. If you haven't listened to one S one seventy, go back, please go back. I know you guys might have been on vacation, or because we were on vacation, you thought we maybe didn't put out new episodes. We put out a new episode every week. So if you're like, oh, the show's back, we must have a new episode and you're tuning into this one one seventy one, we had two weeks of episodes. Yeah, we need you. We need you to actually listen to uh five minutes of each one. I can tell by the numbers that didn't listen, especially, please go back. It's like a bid an abyss. It's a one seventy and there's listen. We worked on our vacation and you know we would like you to, you know, enjoy it because it was good stuff. Pretend I made the Schigel joke last week. That's all I'm saying. Hey, by the way, if you're traveling, you know, and I know a lot of people haven't traveled in over a year. I mentioned as quickly on the Big Show today. But it bears repeating. It's worth mentioning, worth repeating. You know, if they're boarding, but this, you're gonna have a problem with this, Brodie um So, So obviously they want they don't want people passing in front of the back of each other. They want as little contact to pass by people as possible. So they well, they first, they board first class, because they always go first. But wait, hold on, but wait, wait then those people then then they board from the last row forward. So obviously right, but now wait a second. The first class people, but there's a bigger probably and thought they were better than people, which they do, then they'd want to go on last so they don't have to have any of the low class people like me in the back walk past them. If you go in first in front of the plane, the entire plane walks past you. Well, if you'm pay an extra, I want to be COVID free. I want nobody walking by me. I hear what you say, circulate, No, I got you. But you know what, there's some there's a bigger problem here, and it's for the premium economy people, the people like me who will decide, I personally want to pay a little bit extra for my leg room, so I want to sit in the first row and coach one of those first two rows. Well guess what that becomes. The s end last rows to board the plane. You leave, the plane is not taking off. Why wait a second, why does the first class people pay all this money? Wait a second, why the first Why do the first class people pay all this money just to get on the plane first? Okay, but me playing a little bit extra money, I get dead last. I mean, I think that that sucks because I'm trying to pay a little bit more for some leg room, just a little bit. And the fact that I'm paying money into this, I now have to sit last. It's just partial boogie world problems. Well it is. And then there's no overhead compartment space, and then you gotta check your bag. I think I don't know. The issue isn't you got fucked? Truthfully, the issue is the first class people that the first class people sitting in first class they're not first class people. Necessarily, those people should go on last la la la last last all right, last, well, you know what, to be honest, they should move first class to the back of the plane. Now they the back of the plane. Then when nobody walks past them, Yeah, I guess whatever. You don't listen, I know you know what you're the first one is off? How about that seventh row off seventh right, So you got off seventh row whatever it was seven, it's always that seventh row. Man well, because it's six rows of first class roughly, and and then the bulkhead row with no with no trays in front of you, no seats, is usually seven or eight. I've been on a plane, I gotta says work. Oh. Oh, by the way, they're using the COVID excuse to not give you your free ship. So that someone told me that the first ask. They don't give you free free nuts anymore. You know nuts, no hot nuts, usually get hot nuts up there. You get none of that. They don't offer you the drink as soon as you get on the plane, and they don't offer you a full meal. They offer you one of those what they would sell in economy. Those those fucking boxes of these people like steerage, poor bastard. No, the thing is everyone's trying to cut corners now, and they're using COVID as the excuse to like, I'm sorry, we can't because of COVID, so to me at Brody and you should be alert to this, and I'm sure this is happening everything in everyday life that COVID. Now people are starting to use COVID as a reason to cut corners financially and give people less for their money. And I do believe it's and I have an example. I have an example of this right here actually, but I don't know what you. First of all, what's your take on the airlines doing that? Well that that's a listen, it's I guess it's evilly clever but awful. Yeah, you want to hear another one. Unless it's a food handling thing, unless they give you the prepacketed sandwich, and they don't want to give you the the the the microwave the food and then people touch the food. Doesn't this pandemic have anything to do with people not getting there? Again, I'm not trying to fight for the people because the hot nuts, you get hot nuts or or or actually, like you have hot knuts, you gotta get off the plane. You might have something, you might have a symptom. You might take the temperature you're you have to take the temperature of your nuts. Or in normal times, you get a lunch, right, and they hand you like a plate with that actual like tray and you get like silverware and everything. So all that ship gets sanitized anyway, So how did it spread COVID or you know, there's gotta be a reason why or a reason behind these them doing it, And I think it's this is just a way for them to cut corners. But fuck it, man, we're gonna just get more profit out of these people by spending less money you get they give you less and you pay more. There's a scamboni there. But I feel like there might be a partial explanation. I feel like maybe there's less food handling, there may be less staff on because there's less flights, So there might be something. I'm gonna do you one better. We were sitting at a restaurant on vacation in the Bahamas, my girlfriend and you and the girl Robin right, and we were sitting at the Robin right, Robin, so so here's the best. So so then the waiter comes over to us and we were at I forgot which rest one of the rest doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. Actually it turned out to be all of them. And the waiter comes over and says, hey, um, your scary is this mad libs? What are we doing filling the blank? Hey? So he goes and I picked up a fart. No you can this is gonna. This isna sad libs. I know, of course, man does were man live back? When were your kids? That the craziest food was kind of inky? Every now and as far. So we get the menu and then the way it's like, would you like flat water or would you like or like sparkling water? So I'm like neither. We'll take some tap tap water. No, no, you don't take tap in another country. It's the Bahamas. Give me a break. It's not like Mexican. I know you have had bad experiences. What about flat water? What's wrong with flat water? By the way, isn't it just water? We called a flat water for It's just water. It's like white milk. It's just milk. It's not flats, carbonated or not. He is flat it's water. But here's the best office water, not piste off. What the flat water? Flat water? You want flat? What are they called still? You want it still? Or do you want still? Or you want is it still water? I'll have it if it's no. But that's not the problem. Did you correct them? No, because there's not the that was not that. That was not where we were going. Here. Well, now that's where I'm going. You derailed my evening, the fun I'll tell you right now. Everything else you say now is irrelevant. Water after what I'm about to tell you, still water runs deep deep was the glass I would let you get it out of your system and the milk. I'm gonna still water. I'm gonna give you the punchline after stupid. Name is still water? Go ahead, stupid, You're done. You're just about flat flat water says you want? You want still? You want sparkling or what? Neither? I want tap? Okay, so let's say you want to tap water. Fine, you know what he tells me, we can't do that because of the pandemic. I'm not even kidding you. And by the way, that was the story at every restaurant every night they gave you the water I'm like, who whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. I'm like, I understand something. And the waiter shrugs his shoulders. His pandemic you know, pandemic car you know we can't do it the still water. Of course, dude, that's a scamboni. Get the jingle. It's exactly what I'm talking about. Holy shit, it's a scamboni scamboni. So yeah. So I looked at my grandfriend and she looked at me at the same time, and she said to me, dude, scamboni. Yeah. So wait a second, let me get this straight. Uh, you you can't serve me water from the tap, regardless of the country, get for free. You would think they would, well, you would argue that, right because it's like, wait a second, I don't have an option. Now you're going to force you're literally forcing my hand at spending nine dollars for a giant bottle of aquapana or and since when it's tap water, I give COVID in it, they can't pour. That's what that's that's it. I mean, I guess how bad of things in the Bahamas they got. They got COVID ocean COVID late I don't. I still don't understand. Is it too much to maneuver? But no, you still you still they still give you glassware, They still go to the tap. Where is the what is the COVID situation where they can't have give you tap water? I don't know there is. I'm telling you, I have to google it. It's another dude, it's another scambody. It's another way of giving you, making you pay more because of the pandemic, you know what, working into the price. Give me bottled They should be buying jugs of tap of bottled water, have a bottled water machine in the back and be giving people water. At first I laughed at him because I thought it was a joke, and he's like, no, I'm serious. It's unlike you to order cheap person's tap water. That's a brody move. No, But because the water is clean there, I am not problem with it. You know you're in You're in New York City, known by the way wins the prizes every year for the best water in America. Uh, the best city water. People don't realize that. People don't realize that New York City water is actually rated very high in the country. I drink that I take drink. New York, I get tap water. I'm in New Jersey where I live now. No, it tastes like crap. If you grew up in New Jersey, you may not realize it. But if you live in New York and you moved to Jersey, it's like it's horrible. So I would not order tap water, most likely in New Jersey. If I'm in the Bahamas, I'm getting I'm getting bottled water. I'm getting diet coke, no ice. The problem with those places in hotels the guns, use the guns. No, No, that's no problem. It's when they have the little bottles. I went out to dinner with with my friend Jeff last week. Right, went to a really nice little pizza place, and I gotta tell you how we ended up there. It was the only place that had outdoor seating on Tuesday night, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday night as Tuesday, right, so we called the outdoor seating. Yes, we get there. There's a tent, big tent, no problem, open on two sides the whole length of the rectangular restaurant, huge long tent. All the tables, picnic tables. Right, I'm not paying dinner prices picnic tables. I have a bad back, so I'm not sitting on a fucking park bench to eat my dinner. The funk outta here. So I had them bring me a chair, and I said, at the end of the picnic table, so I could have a chair outside, your high made is well. Listen, tap water boy, you ask do you tell you think I'm boogie? Look at you having to I have a bad back. I can legitimately, medically cannot sit at a picnic table for an hour. Ring your Royal Highness a chair. She did, She did, But I want to tell you how we ended up there. So so Jeff says to me, Hey, let's meet at this Cuban restaurant on such and such road. Blah blah blah. I've never been there. I want to try something new. It's all right, we'll go there, no problem. Now. Jeff is like me, wants to sit outdoors. Not ready for the indoor seating yet they advertised on the website. There's pictures. They have a huge patio outside in front of the restaurant and it's all tables. What umbrella is really nice? Like? Oh, it was a beautiful weather. It was like seventy three seventy four degrees in in the in the area. Sounds great so far. So okay, we get there. We see the patio. All the chairs and tables have folded up leaning against the wall, so like, oh, maybe there's a backyard patio. Fancy schmancy will backyard action. So we go in. There's maybe three or four people eating dinner at the table, and the waiter slash host comes over to the host stand and I said, excuse me, do you have outdoor seating tonight? He says not yet? So I said, oh, um, well it's early. We had gotten there like five oh five. I said, well, what time does the outdoor seating start? If not yet? I don't know. Well is it like an a half hour? Um? I don't know. So I said, well, well who would know? He says, you have to ask the manager so much team meetings before the night starts. Where everything right? So I said, he is? You have to ask the manager, so I said, And he stands there looking at me, and I said, so his name was Jorge at the this is true, Jorge a jay George. I said, oh, hey, you know you work here. Could couldn't you? Couldn't you go as the manager. There's there's nobody eating right now in the restaurant. It's like three tables, and can you can? You go ask the manager and he looks at me like there's a novel idea. I guess I could, And then he says, I suppose I could, And he goes and ask the manager and he comes back and he says, yeah, not till the weekend. Right. So I said, when you said not yet you met not yet during the week you didn't mean not yet tonight. Yeah, I guess I don't know you work here, right, Yeah, but you're showing up tonight on a Tuesday. On a Tuesday. I wasn't taking a survey, like, hey, what nights do you have outdoor seating? I'm trying to plan an evening. I would have to assume that you were. If you're my customer, you're here tuesday. You wanted about the immediate moment, right, I wasn't on the phone saying I'm trying to plan my weekend. I'm there with my friend. I want to have dinner outside. It's beautiful out. He's like, not yet, not yeah, So I'm thinking maybe six o'clock will kill time. We'll wait around you know, and we'll eat it six. No, maybe he couldn't find the words. I couldn't find the words. So then we called bone Fish Grill. Right, called bone Fish Grill. I said, hey, you have outdoor seating tonight. She says, no, I'm sorry, but we do have indoor seating. Well you did ask that question, but of course you have indoor seating. You're open. You're what other seating is there? Oh my god? Okay, Grill, But you know, like I called, I called out back and I called um an Italian restaurant. Both of them said the same thing. No outdoor seating tonight, but we do have indoor seating. What what? These aren't take out only places. These are like outback steakhouses, not takeout only. It's a year into the pandemic. I know you're open, we have indoor seating. By the way, the outdoor seating should be in the it's in the name of the place. Out back. I'd like to sit out back by the dumpster, because guess guess what it's it's based off of the outback. It's based off the great outdoors, the whole feme of this restaurant. No outdoor seatings. So then so that's fine. So I got one more food story. I think you'll appreciate this. I want you to tell me how you'd handle it before I tell you how I handled it. So my kids wanted me to pick up Chippotle for lunch. Right, Normally, my wife has the app, and then she has our account, and I haven't set the app up yet. I have too many apps on my phone. That's not one of them I have right now. So whenever they want Chipotle, my wife orders the Chippotle right. So like if I say that all three of us want, she knows what the usual order is, she puts it in whatever. Well, I didn't want anything, but my wife was in meetings all day, so I didn't want to bother. I said, you know what, I gotta go over to the area with chot Is. I'll just walk in and place the order. It's two things, no problem. So my one daughter wants, uh one of my door just wants a bowl with food in it, you know, of course, and the other one wants the kids the kids taco which is three harder soft tacos, and then she says, get me the the cheese Casadia. Okay, it's like five bucks something like that. It's a kid it's on the kids menu. You can get the tacos or the cheese casadia. Okay. So I go to the counter. I ordered the bowl for my my one daughter, and then I said, give me the kids tacos and I said, oh, before I forget, I want a cheese Casadia. Now I'm looking at the menu. Scary, right, you know the menu on Chipotle, it's like right above the food. You look up, it's got those the hanging signs right, and the kids menu says, uh three tacos and cheese Casadia. She says, I'm sorry, sir, the chiefs casadas online only. What So did she open up the app ordered online to be a smartass? No, no, no, she's saying it to me. I'm supposed to order. So I said, wait a second, Oh, it's online only, meaning like okay. So then she wants you to do it right. So I said, so you want gonna go outside and use the app and onner? Why not? I'm here? No, what do you mean? Why not? I waited a line. I go, what's the difference? I said, it's on your menu. You take a flower tortilla, you throw cheese in it. You melt it and you say you cut it. That's it. You don't even have to cut it, just put the cheese in the flower. It's online only. I go, it's on the menu, it's right there. What does that mean? On Like, it's not like a scary it's like a hidden thing, right if you want the steak target, you know, here's But the thing is it's a physical impossibility because it does not compute. It does not and they can't get you it because that's person has always been in the cash. It's the problem though. But if it's if it's, if it's there and you're in person dining, maybe it grays out that because it's like this is an online on her only. Okay, So then I saw so I said, you know what, now the soft taco? Wait is it? But what is the point of offer? And just I'm trying to do trying to encourage people I guess to order on the Apple order on what I guess. But I'm standing there, there's other people in the store. It's not like I'm the only one. Is it a special deal? That's all a deal? It wasn't a that's my point. It wasn't like by white to get one free. That's it. I get it. I get it. If it's a deal you're trying to encourage me to is the app. But it's the one items, that's the only item. It's online only. What kind of bullshit is that? It's the simplest item on the menu. It's a tortilla and cheese, that's it. So I said, give me the three soft tacos with chicken and cheese, hold the chicken. Yeah, and that's why I have three case and dias. And she says, I don't know if I can do that. What do you mean you can't do that? Give me three to chicken soft tacos with no chicken and now just you can't do it because when you go to a place like that, that's so that was going to explode. I said, can you please check with the manager? So she she walks over to the manager, who, by the way, is eight feet away. She had to have heard the conversation, but she had her back to me like she had her back like to can you hit the can get the override button in your system? So she comes. She says that the girl says he wants the chase cases into and she goes, yeah, Okay, that was it. Yeah, yeah, okay, there wasn't great out button. It's five, it's four. You can hit miscellaneous four. You're gonna raise it up. But that's scary. Come on, that's bullshit. Of course it's bullshit. You would have gone outside and use the app. I'm gonna give you an example this right now. But I will say this, I would. I wouldn't, yes, just to spite them. I do it in front of them. If I'm setting them, I'm the one doing the work. That's not spiting, you know, But you know it's it's to me. It's like you. It's almost like you fucking imbecile. He you know, I'm gonna do this in front of you to show you how stupid this transaction is. But but I wanted to say one thing, and he is. Unfortunately, sometimes people, and you know this from being in the service in the industry like this, you're not when you're trained, you're trained like a fucking robot, especially at places like that. If you're gonna manager, you train them onto what's gonna happen Like I'll give you for instance, wait, holy we finished. So if you're a new bie, if you're a rookie if you only been there. You don't want to step out of line anyway. You don't want to get fired. You may be scared, so you have to do things by the letter. And then unfortunately it will take a manager to come over. But you're right, these jobs required. But these these jobs require some critical extra thinking outside the box. Let me give you an example. When I was a manager and an area trainer for Starbucks many years ago. Right, this was in their early nineties when nobody again I mentioned this before, but I sold the first frappuccino in New York State, thank you. Nobody knew what Starbucks was. No one knew the rules about putting your own milk in. No one knew anything. And one of the common requests we would get is people would ask for a cafe. Ol A l a I T. Do you know what cafe? You know? It's a U L A I T. Correct. That is that is a car That is a regular coffee with steamed milk. That is not espresso. Correct espresso. Let's just a latte is an espresso with steamed milk. Ola is a regular American coffee with steams milk. Right, that's correct, But it's not on the menu. Right when we opened, cafe was not a thing, but people would ask for it. And then I noticed that like the employee heads would explode. So when I trained them and I would open up, I was a store openers. I would open up on the stores with trained staff. I would say, listen, just you know, as a cafe ol a, here's what it is, and here's what's different about an old a versus a lot a lot lattel. I'd explain it. So this way, they're fucking heads wouldn't explode like this dim witted Chipotle. It's only oh please, when I was just stupid and I blamed Chipotle. That's a stupid rule. It is a stupid rule. But just because of COVID, these may because of COVID, they can't give me the chiese case. But man, these managers, these managers have to think out of the box and train these these kids. Now, I will say one thing that happened to me in Miami, as with my friend Brian, and we went to a restaurant. We rolled up two o'clock in the afternoon. There were some people eating and i'd there was some hot There were two or three high tops outside and I'm like, let's sit outside. It's a gorgeous day. So I said, so it was. It was literally five minutes before two o'clock. I walk up and I'm like, hey, um, can I get those two kind of get a high top out there? Oh no, those are uh those are for reservations only. And I'm like, okay, but your lunch rushes over. We want lunch and there's plenty of seating inside and out. Uh yeah, no, that's really for that's only for reservations. You didn't make a reservation, did you. I said, no, we're walking only. So I look at my friend Brian. He's looking at me. The woman. The woman is sitting there. The managers nowhere to be found. I said, okay, I oh, I literally check out my phone. I go to open table. I look up the restaurant. I said, reservation for two outdoors. I hit the submit button. It comes to her computer in thirty seconds and then she goes, oh, I guess we could see you now. She sat me outside because I went through the process because I'm like, you fucking dult it. Really you made me go into my phone. But you know what, Brodie, at the end of the day, the result was the same. We got to sit outside mission accomplished. Who cares to me. I had a good laugh about it, and I made her look like an idiot in front of her and her co worker over there that neither of them did anything about it. So I'm like, okay, this is funny. I'm like, I'm actually going to open table in front of your face to make a reservation for two o'clock, which is in three minutes. And so I've done something similar twice with different results. So, uh, one time it was a pizza place, and the other time it was a burger a burger place like a h anyway, so I can tell you the pizza place. So I call, I call, I call, I call no answer, no answer. Right, I know they're open. I know they're open. I call it. Call it called no answer. So I walk in and as a girl, you know, behind the counter, and I see the phone on the wall, and uh, so I hit the call button while I'm I'm talking to her, and I hear the I see the phone ring. It's right over there. I see it. I said, uh, you want to hold on into the phone's ring and she waves it. It goes man. She's just decided not to answer the phone, right, So that's that's one. The second one was it was a burger place in Jersey is from the upscale burger places and fast food, but you know, anyway, so, um, I call again. There's there's no answer. So I'm like, oh, so I get there. I only called once, no answer. I get there. There's a long line, right, and I'm like, oh, they must be really busy. So I stand in the back and I call and the guy that picks up the phone, I see, I want to place it to go order? Yeah, sure what he got. So I'm in the back of the place in the corner and I placed my order and he took my honor. So the phone is a very powerful thing too, can play at that game and how many times all right? Back in the day, Back in the day, think about when we had to wait in line for tickets at ticket Bastard. When you were standing outside of fucking record store, CD store waiting online eight o'clock in the morning, you right, because the only way to get tickets was either before the internet right before your TETs. We would stand outside ticket tron or tell letron where the funk they were and ticketmaster call him ticket bastard. Uh, And we were sitting out there waiting, and then nine o'clock would show would happen, and then three the first three people would get in. All the manager until nine oh seven seven works they have bought all the tickets, that is correct. They would they would ring up all the tickets behind the counter. They would all the managers would take the tickets and scalped the four online. All of a sudden, you're sitting up a decots sold out. They sold out right, But all the while, didn't you have your phone out and you were trying to call and you were calling your two phones because it was the beginning of cell phones, but not quite not we had a pay phone. If there was pay phone, one of us would go to the payphone on the corner. We had, well, Brody, we had the situation. We we had all of our friends had we had these initial again the clamshell phones, and we would call. We would be calling ticket bastard on the phone, calling, calling, calling, And so I'm waiting in line to get the tickets in person, but I'm also kind of double reinforcing to get that and place my order online. If I can get on if I'm getting if I get through. Yeah, we we were long overdue for a break. But anyway, really, yeah, we'll take a break. I got stuff, but so do I. Dude, I got I MA have to admit something to you and the slices that I don't think you're gonna be too proud of. If it's you, I'm already not proud. Sy. You got a lot to get off your chest today. I'm so I'm mad at you for what. Well you got the jingle ready, m m. Yeah. Now I'm gonna play this off my phone because I didn't want you to have access to this. So this is a reminder because you guys listen in order. By the way, we haven't played the Listen in order gin as yet in a while. Rather, did you bring them home? Yeah, I'll play those later, all right. So Scary and I did interviews with yeah, with the you Know I'm Right Podcast? Right, I think I was episode A hundred and scariest episode one on four something like that, and we we tweeted it and posted on Instagram and we sent out links and everything the you Know I'm Right Podcast, and I think they are in the zone Io in the Zone Io on social media. I think maybe in the zone is the is the umbrella company that handles all these podcasts. Now, I did my podcast. I don't remember talking that much about scary but scary, and I'm not playing the sound. I want you to go listen to it kind of throws under the bus a couple of times in the interview, making himself look like the good guy. I don't have to sound ready because I have the YouTube video primed and ready to go for something else I want to play. He's like, oh, Brodie's always the one. Brody's always the one. Malcolm. He says, I'm the calm one. I'm the professional, prepared one. I'm not. I'm the low maintenance one. If you're the low maintenance one, I am. Two seconds later, you have you proved you a boogie. You're like, I guess I'm not the low maintenance one. You're high maintenance in your own ways. Let's not let's not play like this in one way street. Okay, but that's not it. Now I'm gonna play something, and I want you to know I'm giving Scarier freeb I'm giving him a free client mention because after the first client mentioned, I want you to hear what he does unsolicited. This son of a bitch, he has outdone himself. Listened to it, and by the way, I am convinced that Joe in the interview was told to ask this question because it doesn't make any sense. He's doing a sports interview about the Mets and his career in radio, but listen to them with a question out of nowhere like it's a legit question, and then listen to what Scary does afterwards. Here we go, your prick. Hold on, I usually don't eat until I come home. That's terrible. Um, So I wanted to mention this because I think this is really remarkable, remarkable years ago. Uh, you coordinated and I don't know if I'm saying his name properly. Enrico, Uh, Frederico or Fredico. Oh, Enrico Ferdico. I know that sounds like sounds hold on, so he says, I like he goes, I want to I don't know how you did it. You coordinated with this guy. Come on, let's let's be real here. But he was originally a client and now you have a relationship with him because he's great. I get that, But this guy's Italian. This guy Joe's Italian, and he's playing it like, I don't know how to pronounce this name. People don't like he's talking about Dr Fatlove. I'm getting it. I'm getting there, but I'm just setting up. He's like, I don't know how to pronounce the guy's name. It's an Italian name. This guy's name is Joe. Before you go my joke, I'm not gonna love the joke. I just want to let you know that I was not given the questions ahead of time. I didn't tell him to that question. I'm telling the slices, Okay. I had nothing to do with this. I stepped into whatever you're trying to tell me. By the way, the slices do not believe you, but walk into it. Sounds like somebody you're paying me. But you know he's a he's a fat lost doctor. Soeple years ago, UM, I lost a ton of weight. Um it's like a forty four It was some crazy amount of weight, thirty pounds and forty three days, and then every every year thereafter for quite some time. UM, I'd go back in January and do and get it, do a detox r I do a quick forty five days kind of like, hold on, so far, so good. You're answering this question since you know so you did so you do a dry January, A dry January, a little bit of February, right, yeah, February, yeah, wait for it. And then um. More recently, I've been into these d herbs, which is like these explements, which also is a great detox and you know, the the effect is, you know, you know, you lose weight by it, and you you can you know, it's had. It's ends on the person. It depends on how much you know, you know into what you are, how strict you are. Yeah, okay, hit the jingle bitch commercial. You have the largest fucking balls of anyone. I know. What are you talking about? The guy asks you about Dr Fat loss, which is bad enough in an interview about sports. He asked you about Dr fat laws bat bat. Then after you answer your question, you throw in like seventy five more you knows and work your way into de herbs, your new client. He didn't ask you about the herbs. He didn't say, how did you get so thin? This week? Here? What else you got on the back burner? Hey, tell us about your your your your list of sponsors, okay, Hey, anything else you want to promote? Scary? No, he asked you about Dr Fat Loss because it's a catchy name and because you lost weight every year and it's in your bio. So then you're like, oh, by the way, you're like, yeah, yeah, Dr Fer Why do you hold on? Why do you give a funk? Because I gotta be honest, Brodie, it wasn't on this podcast. It was And now you use their podcast and you to promote another client. Why not? So who cares? It's not it's none of your business. That is a punch in your phones, right, there's none of it. There's none of your business. It's none of your business. It really isn't. It's that this isn't. I didn't do it on our podcast. I know. It's just the unmitigated goal. These poor guys, Joe and Nick. They're doing this great podcast that they're talking about whatever. For whatever reason, Joe was like, this dr familyst guy, tell me more about dr led me down this road? Right, But he didn't say, and anyone else you want to plug? How come he didn't give out a ring doorbelt. Remember, while you're at it, they led the horse to water. I drank and then I turned my head and said, and then you hopped on the ball and wrote down for forty seconds. I said, here's some oats. I'm gonna eat some of those two. I mean, I figured I while I was here, I might as well we're only ship while we're on the topic. And I took. I took full advantage. And I admit that I did. And there's no problem with that I did because it was true. It's all true stuff I know. But it just seemed like, you know, like, while I'm talking about I'm gonna segue into another client, why not I have the floor? They gave me the floor, no shoe. That's a great question. We're on zoom doing this interview, and it's a little blurry, not like the crystal four K quality of a ring doorbell. If I must say so, I don't ring doorbell is not my client. It's slow slomans. You get a doorbell. I'm sorry, that's right. Ring is not as good as slomans. You get a doorbell camera. So I met four K Sloman's for your long system. We get a free doorbell camera. Just pound two drifted from your cell and then say the shingle again, scary. Oh my god, I have um, I'm gonna call that a scary scamboni. I do wanna, I do wanna bring up? Can I bring up a scambony? I told you about this zip for scamboni. Yeah, so my I gotta play the jingle. Okay, okay. So I don't know if you've ever heard of pure Leaf tea. I have right pure leaf tea. Again. I blame my daughter. She likes the sweet tea. So she says to me, Hey, if you go to any of the stores, can you pick me up. I'm in there. I'm having a craving for lemonade. And if you can't find any lemonade, regular lemonade in a little bottle, pick me up the sweet tea from sweet Leaf. That a pure leaf that I like, Right, okay, So I'll talk to you about lemonade in minutes. I got a real problem with lemonade. But so there was no lemonade. So I'm in Stopping Shop, which is a major grocery chain. And by the way, Stopping Shop, you soda prices are astronomical. I don't know if I bitched about this before stopping Shop. I think they feel like soda is a luxury that people in first class want to buy because nobody charges soda prices like stopping shop. I don't know if maybe they're given great prices on on grapes, maybe their prices on cold cuts are good, but there's soda prices are out of the fucking world. Okay, you tell me this isn't a skim bony. They got a yellow set, little yellow tag sail sign, right, it says the sweet tea four for five dollars. It's good price. Right, So right, it's like two f three fifty at the quick the quick marts, at the seven elevens and the Quickies whatever, there's always like three f five two for five five, that's great. Read the fine print. Now. Sometimes the fine print says only four four deals per person, right, so you only buy twenty. Sometimes it says must spend you know, ten dollars is in Like if you go to Target, they'll say, like, you get ten dollars off if you spend ten dollars on men's grooming products. Right, here's what I gotta buy to save the fifty cents on the fucking pure leaf tea four for five dollars. Fine print When you buy four Pepsi two lead bottles. Now, who's drinking four lead bottles? Two lead bottles of pepsi if they want an ice tea. I don't see the cornation there, okay? Or pure Leaf eighteen point five ounce bottles or rock Star sixteen ounce cans, all made by PepsiCo. Probably I'm assuming that pure Leaf is made by Pepsi co. We got I get guarantee without even looking that it is is Now I gotta buy rock Star. I gotta buy rock Star drinks. I just want to buy some fucking bottles of pure Leaf. My daughter, No, not gonna buy two lead bottles of Pepsi. I don't want at stop and shop two dollars and fifty cents a bottles or whatever. It is ridiculous prices for soda. And then I get my rockstar. I don't want a rock star. I'm a rock star. I don't have a cop car. Brandon Lembergreini. I hate that song. Come on, it's catchy, it's catchy. I'll give you that catchy it's catchy song. Anyway. Well, well that's a scamboni. A scamboni. But they want you to try new products that you may not have tried before, or maybe you haven't tried pepsi, or you know, it's just a way for them to to get the sales going for that product. Maybe Snells are lagging for pepsi. This, oh please, you know what? You want to give me a discount on pepsi. And you say you can have the discount of pepsi if you try a bottle of sweet tea. You're okay with that? Well, I'm okay with it only because you're trying to get me to buy something new. Hey, you know what you buy sugary soda. Here's a nice tea. Maybe you want nice tea for your kid right by the big thing. Get a discount on the small thing. But working in I'm not gonna buy the small thing. But I've been and I want to discind a big thing. They want you to spend more money. That's the problem, the high problem. I'm never buying soda and stopping shop. Never you want me to buy the soda and stop and shop. Write whether with the two bottle of soda, same same ship? Well, similar happened with me with Staples. Um I I you guys, you know I overpaid for printer Inc. Last week. I spent all this is Travis. You don't I spend crazy money in Staples. So Staples emails me um a coupon, like, hey, thanks so much for spending all this money. Uh save you know, here's fifteen dollars to spend right now. It's Staples dot com. And I'm like, oh, how cool. And then I readefined print and it said must spend sixty or more. Oh so now it's you're only getting You're pretty much my next purchase. It's pretty much what it is. It's a scamboi because now you've tricked me into spending another sixty dollars. Just what you get fifteen off? You just told me, You just told me fifty. I get fifteen dollars to spend. Why not just give me fifteen dollars in cash? Yeah? You know who does it all the time, Dick Sporting Goods. I get those cools. I may may have mentioned this on the podcast before Dick Suck Sporting. Yeah, Dick Sporting Goods will send you a green coupon, big green booklet with a big like detachable thing that says they off fifteen dollars off your next purchase. Then you look at it goes undred more. Yeah, fuck you, You're given me a fifteen percent off coupon. Is what you're doing, basically, And if I spend more than a hundreds, right, because now I'm gonna get in fifteen. So that's why they don't give you a fifteen because they know that you're not gonna perfectly time out the hundred. Hey, back by the way, back to the back to the sweet tea and all that crap. By the way, I noticed something on labels. It's another scamboni. Yeah, but and then remind me about lemonade, another scamboni. This jingle is gonna wear out, all right, we'll just stop it right there. So, so if you ever take a look at beverages or anything for that matter, you know, even foods, it'll always say it will say natural flavors on it. Right now, did you know that natural flavors it's just a favorite stripper by the way, that's natural juices, different club, natural flavors. So natural flavors is actually just garbage. It's it's it's nothing. It makes you your brain think, oh it's all natural, it's wholesome, it's good for me. The flavor of shit is natural. Is natural fat is correct, it's the flavor of natural fruit juice. Natural. A natural flavor could be the flavor of fucking phosphate, or the flavor of any chemical that you multidextron or molotol. It's because the natural flavor. So it's like a cocktail. Yeah, so that ship blows off. But the point is a natural flavor doesn't really say anything. It's one of those empty words descriptors. But it's a step above non natural flavor, right right, Because but a natural flavor could be really bad for you. So so when you see natural flavors, it's not necessarily anything good in that craon orange is in a natural flavor, right that you can't get it grow a croon orange, but an orange. So anyway, look out for the label, look out for the natural flavors on a labor. So here's my lemonade problem. So I told you my daughter on so Friday night is my uh I'm board, I run out of the house, I run errands, I go to like quickie marts, and I pick up stuff for the kids. Right, I'm like, I'm going, what do you want? Shakes, candy, whatever, ice cream? What I'm going Friday night Friday night. Friday nights. Yeah, that's my life, dude. So so Friday night, because you know, we work Friday morning usually and I take a little nap. We have a little dinner, a little order, and some pizza maybe we did on Friday. And then I'm like, you know, at ten o'clock, I go, I'm restless out, I'm doing a food run. So my daughter says, I'm craving lemonade. Can give me a lemonade? Yeah, lemonade? How hard could that be? Scary? It's not hard at all. Well, actually I'm looking down, it's pretty hard right now. Yeah, I don't want to do any time to ask. Okay, all right, So I go to our friends a quick check, love quick check. Go to quick check. I get the Reese's peanut butter stuff they want, the frozen instant shake they want. And I go to the refrigeration and then you know, you know the wall of refrigerators. Oh of course, it's like a right doors doors everywhere, doors everywhere. They have like a twelve doors, eleven twelve doors. There They've got a door for water flavored with stuff, you know, like to fight a little a little bit of raspberry in it. Right, they have the case of Arizona iced teas. And by the way, nobody sells diet Arizona iced tea anymore. Nobody fallen by the wayside. Yeah, don't tweet because I'm I'm not going wherever you live. I'm just telling you you go in any place, there's nine, nine or twelve flavors of Arizona iced tea. I want the one that says diet jen sing. They used to make like diet right, they can't find it. Now you can't find the green Cannon diet Jensing. Don't don't sell it, Okay. Now that that means it's based on sales, right. That means the most popular ones are not the diet but you can't spend You can't buy the diet one if you don't sell the diet one. So I'm not buying iced tea and getting three calories in a in a twelve ft high can of Arizona iced tea. Okay. Then they got the refrigerators, the AIDS refrigerator, right, the gatorades, the power raids, the refrigerator, okay that one. Then they got the sodas, the coke one, all the cokes, diet cokes, then they got the pure leaf tea, all the teas, all the teas together right. Then they got milks, got all the milks very organized. Then they got bottled water, big water, sports water, little water, all the waters ten doors across. Not one fucking lemonade in the whole store. Really, I can get raspberry lemonade. I can get an Arnold Palmer half lemonade, half iced t. I want a lemonade. I want an American old fashioned Lemons, sugar and water in the bottle country time. I want. I want like a baseball apple Jack's, sorry, cracking Jack's, and hot dogs and and and lemonade and apple pie. I can't get a lemonade. Well, let's think about it for a second. So I leave, I leave quick check, and I go to the ex on station they have, like the on the Run store or whatever whatever the store is there. I go in there. They don't have lemonade. They've got, uh, what was the lemon in the head they like the blueberry lemonade? Did they have Well, if they had pink lemonade, that's close enough. Nope. Oh you know what. Neither they had a Snapple refrigerator. Neither place carried snap a lemonade, right, I have to be honest, I don't know. I don't know who makes lemonade everybody, So snap on me. Lemonade that was their thing. So that no iced tea is I'm pretty sure ied tea is there. And lemonade that was their first to roughly the first two. Then I go to seven eleven, seven eleven, Sign of the Times. That was the old slogan, you know, I remember that why they're called seven eleven seven mind blowing today years old, blah blah blah. Okay, so that's true story. So I go to seven eleven, and they've got the frozen ice cream freezer, the frozen freezers redundant they got, they got the ice cream, the frozen dinners for the divorced dads who have nowhere to eat. Right, they got that that thing, they got the ice machine where they got they got the thing with the thing and the other thing. Lemonade. Lemonade, all right, brody, I mean maybe it's just not popular in your areas. They stopped carrying it in my area where I live in in the Addis Ababa, Papua, New Guinea. Jesus Christ. So I got finally it's stopped and shop. When my I'm not buying the pure leaf tea. I said, fuck it, I'm gonna find some lemonade this damn supermarket. So I go to the wall of bottles, bothering you, the wall of bottles, refrigerated bottles, right camp, No lemonade, no lemon a little bottles, no little bottles. Finally, by the orange juice, I find, uh, simply lemonade, simply the company simply and they give all of the proceeds of the lemonade Alex's Lemonade Stand. Now we're friends with the Alex Lemonade Stand people, right, we are the Office Rand show every year. Yeah but they make Yeah but they they they actually make their own lemonade with with lemons and sugar. Right. But this is a lemonade company that's donating their profits, Alex's Lemonade Stand, right in honor of Alex who died trying to raise money for cancer research. And the mom's a friend of We love the mom, Alex's mom. Anyway, So I bought the jug of lemonade, which because I couldn't find a regular small bottle lemonade. Right that was Friday night. I got the jug of lemonade, like the half gallon, right, the orange juice, whatever it is. Okay, So that's Friday today as we record this. We're recording this on a Monday. Okay, on a Monday, I'm pulling the curtains back. We may not release this till Thursday or Wednesday night, but re recording it on a monday'sting it tomorrow morning. No, no, because no one's listening to one seventy. We don't know. I want his punishment. No, I want to give them a chance now that we're back from vacation to enjoy one seventy. Anyway, My point is it's been in the house now Friday night, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. You heard the story I just told you, right, I sure did. My daughter has not opened the fucking lemonade. Oh my god, I love it. She's sucking with you. She did it on purpose. She's like, she wanted you to should I'm not theade right now. I think I think she knew no one has lemonade. I think she knew that you can't find lemonade. She's like, Dad, you know, I'm in the movie for lemonade. Maybe she likes some tab or some fresc what you can't find anymore either, can't fight? I have a craving for pepsi Max from the from the nineties. Can you find out a goose chase? Remember pepsi clear? Can you find some Pepsi's disgusting. I'm gonna I'm gonna vomit right now? Can we do? We're gonna do some mail and then maybe we'll get into some other I got a couple of mail items that change like that sounds like the Nightlome. You've got madies? Is that Steve from Blues Clues? Well, you've got me out by the I have an a l story. Remind me Okay, yep. You can always email us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com or get to us on social media. Leave us a mail, some email anyway it will find us. Or some d m s like Tom Vodka. Wow, this guy is irate with you, Brodie. No, yeah, there's a mistakes. I gotta debate, Brody. I want you to I want to bring I want to get to the podcast. I want to get on your podcast and yell at him. Well, that's not motivation to put you on, you know. I wanted to bate even is even with Brody, because not even is not even yep, amongst all the orders you fulfill for your merch, one gets messed up. Here comes Brodie had to call had had to call you give me three more. No, I will fix the situation. I will supply you with what you paid for. Read the small print. Shit happens. Not Brody wouldn't give up free merch for a small mishap. What he's trying to say is if no, it's hypothetical. He's trying to say that if he tried to get free merch out of us, Because if he tried to pull a you on us with merch a merch problem, you would actually you wouldn't give up the free merch. You understand, because it's a small mishap. Scary. What do you think, be honest our slices? Well, first of all, I think that we wouldn't mess up because I think our our company is five star, is the one that's dealing with They've been wonderful. But let's say let's say something happen. You know how I feel about our listeners. How would I handle it? You would probably make good on that free dessert. Well, okay, so so wait, hold on a second, but he goes on to say, the definition of even is equal in number, amount, or value. The statement even is not even is an oxymoron. It contradicts itself. If you're happy with the outcome, you're even. That means even is even. I'm gonna get Brodie screaming. If I get onto this podcast, you will hear him slamming his fist on the desk. He is not right all the time, que of the jingle, Brodie is wrong. Even is not even? Is not even? By definition? Is fucking wrong. Time is money. You should be compensated for bullshit wasted time. We argued that all the time on this podcast. But when you're okay with the outcome, you are eve in. Look up the motherfucking definition of even. Brodie. Hey, I love Brodie, but he is just fucking wrong. Child. I love you. Here's why I love you. For the Tom, Tom, here's why you're wrong. First of all, I think you need to be a little more pleasant about this. But here's why you're wrong, Tom. I never said even is not even in the in the end of the transaction, Okay, once you get the free dessert, then you're even. But because you didn't pay for the dessert. You're not even. The even is not even comes at the middle when they when they burn your steak and they give you a steak twenty minutes later. The restaurant thinks that's even. And I'm saying, that's not even right because you had the penalty of waiting while your friends eight. So I'm saying the restaurant's explanation for even is not actually even. You're taking it literally to mean the term even. It's not even. What I'm saying is when the restaurant says it's even, when the company says it's even, it isn't because they aren't taking into account the time you waited. No, No, I'm explaining my, my, my theory that i'm I'm writing a book. I should be able to explain it, right, Um, I'm explaining that at the middle of the transaction, their explanation of even is not right. It's not and at the end, so he's trying to take a literal translation you're saying, and I'm saying, I'm not saying the word even doesn't mean the word even. I'm saying their explanation of even is not actually even. They're wrong in their use of the word even. So, if you'd like, I will rename my book. Hey, their use of the word even is not actually what I consider even because I think I should be compensated for the bullshit I just sat through the end. Does that make more sense that better Tom or better yet the end result of the transaction, When at the end I feel like we're even, it wasn't really even because I got something for free, which in by definition I think we should have a celebrity death match between you and Tom. There's no there's no celebrity death match. I've answered his question. At the end, when I get fifty dollars reward back or a gift card, it's not even right because I spent five hundred, I got five hundred dollars in product, and I got a fifty gift But here's here's where, here's the larger point, and and this is where I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna agree with me on this moment. Okay, hold on a second, we'll listen to me. So, why I haven't hung out with you? Yes, why DIDN'TET invites your pool? Wait till I wait to get into your pool. I'm gonna I'm gonna get diarrhea in it. I'm gonna right before you continue. You want all the slices that aren't Tom to tweet scary and me and let us know if you think I just did a great job of explaining even it's not even no. But here, but before you do that, you can apologize slices what Tom. What Tom was trying to say in the larger point is in the in the case of the steak dinner, the fact is he's not talking about no. No, he mentioned that too. The fact is we spent quality time together and the outcome was satisfactory. No. But yet you still think you're sta dinner because I'm not steak dinner. I'm owed you're spending money on me for the fucking career hit I took. That's the bottom line. It isn't about the steak. If you want to hand me three hundred dollars tomorrow, I will go to steak dinner with you. How about that. Give me the three hundred dollars. You already said that was unacceptable. No, because I already spent the time with you, but you to spend money. So give me the three hundred dollars. I'll go to a steak dinner with my family will end this whole thing. You'll take a financial hit, but then you're out the steak dinner. At least spend the money and get a steak dinner out of it. But if you don't want to buy me a steak dinner, just give me the money I gave you. I tried to buy you a steak dinner twice. We took right, but I don't want to get By the way, if you don't know what we're talking about right now, then you're from episode zero. Please starting from episode zero. Let me get one more one, one more quick one here, and then I'll get on. Well to this today years I love you Tom. I'm gonna, you know what, one day, I'm just gonna have Tom in the waiting. I'm just gonna have him like I'm gonna just sucking springboard him on you how my line goes dead? My equipment failed Today years old. Um, I was today years old when I realized. Listen to this one. Mr Peanut from Planters was a Peanut Butler not confirmed. Don't tweet me, love the show, keep it up slide for life. Can you imagine he was the He was a peanut Butler. Mr Peanut from Planters was a peanut Butler. So it's like peanut butter but peanut no mind blown or is this is this is just gonna be put on that girl's list from TikTok You know what, I don't know if it's true or not. I just don't think it's clever enough to go like mind blown. That's one of those you go, okay, peanut Butler, all right, continue, Yeah, William Fox uh he is will under school I that's e y E underscool am will I will I am clever. He spent a lot of money on our merchandise, so proud of his purchase at Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's why a little switch there. He sent me a screenshot of his order, right that at Brooklyn Boys Pizza shirt adult large Brooklyn Boys baseball jersey. Right, that's the that's the F seven the Brooklyn Boys Slice for Life t right, Okay, but he sent it unedited. Usually when people send us the screenshot of their order, it doesn't have their phone number and home address. So I said, hey, man, that's want to let you know I really appreciate the purchase, but you know most people blow out their information, he wrote back. Yeah, man, I don't give a ship. You guys are the absolute best. And I've listened to the podcast every single day and night while going to bed for two and a heavy years. Truly one of the best parts of my day and easily my favorite podcast of all time. And I mean I give a ship, just not about my address and phone or be being up there for you to see. So oh yeah, well, I am doesn't give a ship. I love that um Miranda, she's uh mes, Mirian. I'm listening to episode one seventy oh she's one of the few, and figured you would be happy to know. I received free dessert without saying a thing. I waited for eight minutes from my donut order, zoned out on my phone so I didn't notice the time. Before I could say anything, the cashier took my order, noticed me, and called over her manager to take care of me. Not only did I get the order right away they gave me, they gave me extra bacon and a five dollar gift card. Shout out to the short staffed, hard working, very lovely ladies at Duncan on West Colonial in Orlando, Slice for Life former Bronx girl Miranda Right, she got freed Right even asked for that. Shout out to Rina mcgwinn, who posted a picture of herselfwhere in the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Of course, a lot of that, A lot of that, A lot of that. Katherine Watson, was that a gong with? What the hell was my phone hitting the microphone podcas cast ads? Hey Brooklyn Boys, don't you should know this? I was real listening to old podcasts, as a real Slice for Life does, And I was listening to the ads as I was working, which, by the way, you should and support the people in our ads, right, but the sales are over if you listen to the snake. No, no, I was listening to the ads. Guess what podcast was advertised in the middle of your podcast? Uh, Peter mar the effing Call Her Daddy podcast The funk out of Here? Scar my man, ha ha, just my man. You did you have something to do with this? No? Figured you'd want to know. This terrible mistake and it needs to be corrected. Hashtag long lived the slices. That's a new hashtag. I've never seen that. So we got money for that. Though, but I don't like it. Wow, so call her Daddy is now advertising in our podcast unbeknownst to us. That's pretty slick. That's scary. You sent me two clips of the star of that podcast talking ill of one of our New York Mets that she used to day. That's not cool. She dated someone on the Mets. Let's not get into it. We're all big fans of right, And she made it a point to say he's a sweetheart. I'll never discuss that relationship in in public. I'll never talk about him, and then she basically drew a verbal picture of him called him out like bad stuff. So I don't know what happened to that promise not to call him out, but she let him have it. So not cool. Don't advertise on our podcast. If you're gonna make fun of my mets, my favorite, my favorite tweet of the week, I'm gonna cut you off for a second. Well, shut up, man, shup. Tom's friend Christine at lamp Russ Star Oh seven three, Oh maybe July. I don't know. She said she wasn't feeling well and I said, oh, I hope you feel better. She said, I threw my back out today. Brushing my teeth, and my husband replied, I guess you're really scared yourself. So I thought I thought trying to ask your own day. Nope, she said, she said, referring to that time Scary Jones pull the muscle, yawning wrong, Scary tell that story again, place. Yes, So I was yawning one day and I was like, and as I yawned, I put my back out somehow. You know, you can yawn wrong, very basic voluntary like things that you don't have to like lift heavy weights. You don't have to get a hurt because you don't know. I don't. You don't have to exercise wrong. You can yawn and if you yawn the wrong way, I'm not even kidding you. You're tired, you can go, you can go numb. You're buying, yeah, going to convulsions because you're yawned wrong. So you make sure I felt I fell to the floor when I at that time, I yawned wrong in the studio. In the studio, you okay, like I yawned yawned. I really did. It's it was. It's a real thing. Look it up. Yawning and having Jacob because I'm is gonna miss two months on the disabled on the injured list for the METS. Hey yawned, wrong, but these things happen. You laugh, Brodie, you laugh. But it God's honest truth, because what happens is it takes a lot of muscles in your body that are not exposed and like it might it might affect your nervous system, yourself, your muscular or whatever. Anyway, Okay, I'm not gonna go into detail. You can google it. It's a real thing. So I want to say, I want to say, well, we gotta take a break. But before you do that, I want to maybe it's another commercial for a podcast. Maybe maybe it is. Jose Jordan's is a new listener and says, word up, guys, um, I I spelled your names. I hope I spelled your names correctly. Yes you did. My name is jose A K. The Chubby Reakin. I found your podcast on I Heart Radio while driving my eighteen wheeler. You guys are so. I started off listening around episode one seven and I went back to the beginning I'm now episode up to episode twenty. The action park rant was hilarious because my father served in the military and was a medic. He drove us up to Action Park with about twenty five family members in the back of a military ambulance when they did the coke promotion back in the days with the Coke cansunk. Yeah. So you love love you love you all show. I'm from Queens now I live in in Morrow, Georgia. Wow. I listen to you guys on the road and consider you guys my favorite podcast. Thus far bo whoa whoa permanently up to episode twenty who so far Oh yeah, okay, gotcha, be easy my friends. And now Slice for Life. I think he that was a typo. But anyway, thank you. That was a really nice email. Jose Jordan's uh anyway, the person, oh, the person has the v I he's seating with the after you get your vaccine. Because we're talking about that v seating. The new meaning of v I P should be vaccine inoculated person. That's very clever. Thank you. That's from Kevin Schuller checking out on us out. Thank you, love you. Um Zachary Smith said, now Slice for Life, now that's now that that's out of the way. I love the merch. I just ordered a hat and the phrases shirt. I also have the gray hoodie, the original shirt and a mask. Love it all. Just an idea here. They want us to make a s your own D sticker, just saying, well, like like you get vaccinated, like I I asked my own D if I don't walk around that if by at least three gets three stickers. Love the show. That's from Zach Zack Smith. Appreciate the ideas. Uh, Kathleen, Wow, Kathleen, hold on, hold on regards to stickers are our merch company has suggested we sell sheets of stickers with some of our slogans and logos. Tweet us legitimately and let us know if you would be interested in that. Just say yes, I would love a shape sticker. Oh no, Brody, we did the worst thing possible. What Kathleen Carris from Long Island Cathy from Long Island Slice for Life wrote up kk No, she's a c K. She's like, hey, guys, okay, I love the f you ape seventy seven hat. It's good quality. Okay there, that's not the problem, Brodie. The problem is my daughter Abby wanted to try it on. Two picks included three year old daughter wearings. Fantastic. That's great. I would imagine somebody's got like a grandpa Abe or uncle Abe. If you can get a picture wearing our few Abe merchandise and with an old person whose name is Abe, I gotta know all right, well, uh Tara. Tristan White actually started from zero again. No secret that I'm a Slice for Life, caught up on all my podcast, decided to start from zero again to relive the greatness I'm up to, up to episode seven or eight right now. I have a couple of things, but I just want to talk about one in episode seven. Remember an episode They're gonna say it right here. In episode seven, I think you guys called Aunt Millie. That's my great aunt. God rest her soul. She's now since passed away, and I was truly touching her positivity is what we all need in these times. Knowing that you recently lost her scary. I couldn't help but think about my grandma, who I just lost due to COVID, and I wanted to send some love your way the way Aunt Millie signed off, sending love to everyone before she hung up. Oh man, I don't remember that. I'm gonna have to go listen to that, uh Tara to Tristan I love you guys. Keep it the great work. Can't wait to listen again, Tristan White, you just gave me some homework for today. I'm gonna go listen to episode at seven so I can hear my aunt Millie on the phone. I didn't realize she was on that episode, but thank you for that reminder. We had her on a couple of times, so there you go. Alright, so I listen. We have a lot more email, but that's all we're gonna do from the moment because we have some more thing to get to and I ad something that I don't know if I'm gonna spring on you this episode or I may wait, we're way late right now, you're gonna be pisting. You'd be piste off, but we'll be We'll be right back, all right. That's fine. This is where I play the menu game. What you're scary? Uh? Do I tell you something I'm upset about regarding Brooklyn? Yes, okay, so I'll get to that in one second. I also wanted to just say the same way you uh we talked about a little while ago about you yawning and injuring yourself. That reminded me you posted pictures and video of your weekend trip, and you posted out you and your girlfriend were doing flamingo yoga. I did you did not do flamingo yoga because you would have killed yourself. You videoed your girlfriend doing uh, flamingo yoga? Right? For those you did yoga with flamingos. Those nothing more bougie than that for those for the for the is that don't know. And I was not in the no prior to this weekend, and I had no clue. Apparently, when you do yoga yoga, I guess it is so boring. No offense to yoga people if you do. If you're a yoga I'm sorry, but it's so boring. You have to do things to spice up the yoga activity. Uh no, this is my take on No. There there is got yoga. There's also lemur yoga. So you do yoga with lemurs. Don't ask? Don't we go look it up? Google it. It's a thing. So, unbeknownst to me, we show up at the resort and my girlfriend goes, oh my god, and I thought she saw a ghost or something. And she's like, I'm like, what's the matter. She goes nothing, She goes they have yoga with flamingos. They got flamingo yoga here. She goes, I gotta sign up, and I said, Robin, no com man, and she's like, yes, I'm gonna do it Saturday morning, eight o'clock. And I'm like, holy shit, it's a thing. You pay a lot extra for it. And apparently in yoga there's a thing called the flamingo pose or we're so flamingos do a tree pose when they're standing up, but they also do a flamingo pose and you can mimic it anyway. All the all, the all the flamingo yoga is, Brodie is just they you go, you take your yoga matt into a cordoned off area and five or six flamingos that are highly trained come out and they walk around trained. What does that mean? You highly trained flamingo? They peck at your matt they may who they don't mad at your pack though they don't know. They don't mat at your pecker. No, but they they so so listen. These these are really it's beautiful, it's very it's very serene. They don't they don't. They walk around and they monitor you and they they're kind of in the mingos monitor you to make sure you do it right there in there in the grass, there in the grass mulling around anyway, some people think that this is a really cool thing. I don't think you can have an honest yoga session because serious yogi's will tell you that you have to get into your zone now, must stay, you have to be all zen and ship Is that it? How do you get all zend zen down? Let me ask your question. Are the flamingos so well trained that when you say not must stay, they don't move? I mun stay right here? How do you get all zend out? But and get into your zone? Definitely, definitely in my zone. Don't make me get in my zone? Kanye? But how do you do that? I admit it. You did not do any yoga. Just admit it. You did not. Even though you said we're doing it, you didn't do it. I didn't do it at any time you step on the mat. I still I stole her content because it was hilarious, right and did But any did at any point did you go up to the instructor and say, well, this will this help me? S MONDI light be more flexible on the matter. You teach me downward, dick, can you teach me that? But how do you how do you get how do you concentrate? Though? How do you really have an honest yoga session for forty five minutes if you're doing yoga with these pink things don't like walking around you and ship. I don't know, I don't know. It's a gimmick. It's a gimmick, and it's another reason to spend a lot of money, alright anyway, So that so the flamingo yoga was a thing. I'll talk more about my vacation next week because we were running short on time, all right, So I want to talk about Easter real quick. Not looking to offend the person that I'm gonna reference, because I think you're fantastic and I totally get you didn't know. But I wanted to address this because I I was in the impression that people knew more than I thought they knew about certain things. For instance, Oh like Franken Sinseen mur Everyone knows frank sinse the don't they do? Now? So I'll give you an example. I spoke to someone on the phone today at Serious Satellite Radio. They told me about eight dollars must call immediately or eight dollars, like eight dollars for what you charge me? What the big eight dollars? So I call and I speak to a great young lady named Cam. I guess started for Cameron maybe really nice. And when I whenever I wrap up a phone call with any kind of customer service person, especially if they're nice, or if they have a nice accent or they have no accent, I like to ask where they're from, just like what what Stadi located in? Because there can be anywhere in the country right or in the world for that matter. I always ask, Hey, where are you. Her response to me was, I'm in New Mexico, USA, Oh, so, I said, So, I said, why why did you need to throw in the USA? By the way, before you go on, I know why, I think I know why. Tell me why? Because the masses are asses. Most of America is stupid. And when they hear the word when and when they hear the word I'm not and when they hear the word Mexico, they automatically think another country. So she's trying to she's trying to do they think the country Mexico. So what she's trying to do is trying to correct trying to be very clear right up front, New Mexico USA, because you want to be She wants to make sure that people are talking about America and not the much. And if you ask me if I'm if I say I'm from New York, I don't mean York, England. I mean come on, So I said to I go, I said, this is at the end. This is after like a fifteen minute phone call where I've I've had a nice intelligent conversation with the woman. And I said, she's a young girl, she's probably in her twenties, maybe late twenties. And I said, how come you said USA like it's New Mexico. She said, you'd be surprised how many people it is not what you said? Nope, how many people think New Mexico's part of Mexico. Heard wrong? That people think New Mexico is part of Mexico. Similar. She's trying to correct people up front because she gets a lot of you know, frightening that is to me, it's very frightening that there are people who like and you know who it is, right, it's the Merica people. It's the ones who are so proud of our country that the law of America. So they know that they think New Mexico is in Mexico. They don't know that New Mexico is a state. That that's the conversation. That's okay. So think talking about people not own things. Now, this one I can I can excuse. So So to the to the woman who wished this on me, I just wanted to say, I I appreciate it. I'm not finding fault. I want to educate people, right, So and I did. I educated this woman. I explained it to her. She's like, oh, I had no idea. So I was surprised. I don't think there's anything wrong when he'r not knowing. Okay, But but this is similar by the way, what I'm about to tell you, I haven't haven't told you yet. Well, let me just on this on this point. Um, it's similar to Panama City, Panama versus Panama City, Florida. You have to say the country because there are two totally different parts of But I said what state are you in? And she said New Mexico, USA. It's not like if I said we're all you and you're like, I'm in Panama City. Can take me down to a Panama City with a yeah, thanks man, thanks um. Okay, So she so she wished me on a d M just to remind you everyone, I'm Jewish. I don't think people know what that means. I think that some people and look nothing wrong with it. If you don't know, I would think at this point you should know. But if you don't know, what's fine Jewish? Being Jewish is not a sect of Christianity. It's not like Lutheran, were you Like, I don't know what Lutherans are. I'm Catholic, Like no, no, no, it's a completely different religion. Yeah, I would imagine who doesn't hold on? Hold on? And I get nothing wrong with this because she's a slice. So I want to just point it out. I we had a nice conversation about it, and I was interested in how she didn't know, and that's fine, but I'm just bringing it up. She said, happy Easter. Forgive me if you guys don't celebrate traditionally, right, if I celebrate Easter, Well, I guess she meant like, I'm not sure how you celebrate Easter. Now, A lot of people have wished me Merry Christmas as well. Right, here's the thing, just so everyone's clear. If you If you want to make a list of things that are different about Judaism from Christianity, rule number one is we don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. That's what they that's what they teach you are fabled stories. Uh. I didn't believe he was the true Messiah, right, but he existed in your world, right, Yeah, well it depends when you ask. I I believe he was a great man, and he may have had some wonderful teachings. I just wasn't raised to believe in everything else. I don't. I don't. I don't know whether God is Jesus, Jesus is God, the three of them, that the Holy Us just a slab like one of us. Right, So I start off with be a good person and believe what you want, whatever it is. But I just wanted to clarify that that when you wished me a merry Christmas, as far as it's a holiday, have a great time. But I had somebody again, not this person wished me a merry Christmas, and and and uh, something similar, And I said, you understand, I say, it's not my holiday, but thank you you. Oh you don't celebrate Christmas, So again, celebrating the birth of Christ not as important if you don't believe he was anyone to be he selling, right, I listen. I've read a lot of the teachings of Jesus. I believe he said some wonderful things. It's just not issuing an apology to somebody. I'm saying is if anyone thinks that Jews celebrate Chris Christian holidays Jesus days slightly differently, we don't celebrate them at all. I don't know about you, but I celebrate Jesus right. So my point is I like that you sell it, but but again, pass over. This person wished me a happy pass Over and a happy Honka, so I do no. I just wanted to clear up the air for future Christian holidays. You can say, have a nice day if you want, but understand it's not my holiday, and I don't. I don't want to cheapen your holiday by by saying, like by taking it as my holiday. The last thing I want to mention about Easter. And I don't get this. I don't get this at all. And and I and I called out someone I know about this. They said, oh it's Easter. Don't forget the Ten Commandments is on. Okay. I I don't get why The Ten Commandments is considered an Easter movie. I'll tell you why. The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston is the story pass Over, right, It's the story of the Jews leaving Egypt and the ten plagues and how the Angel of Death passed over their doorways and didn't kill their firstborn son. It takes place. Don't tweet me thousands of years before Jesus was born. When whenever you know, the birth of Jesus was right zero year zero or whatever. There's no correlation, okay. And I asked somebody who's Christian. They said, oh, yeah, it's Easter movie. I watched ever Easter. No story to pass Over. It's like watching the passil film, and it's all about footpool. To pass Over in East usually flour around the same time anyway, so it's all lumped into the same Don't take away my holiday. It's my movie. Don't make it an Easter movie. I don't take the the what was it the mel Gibson movie, The Pastilor of the Christ. I don't make that a Honnekah film. I don't make Oh it's a hot it's honeka, let's watch Passion in the Christ that pass Over. It's a Ten Commandments is our movie. It's like The Nightmare Before Christmas. That that's a Halloween movie. That's not Christmas, is it? No, it's not. It's not a Halloween movie. It's the night Mare before Christmas. You ding that, But it's a nightmare, but it's haunted, it's but it's a nightmare before Christmas. Wait, that's my point. Ten Commandments. Can we have so few jue movies that die hard? Is that a Christmas movie? Oh, it's not a Christmas movie simply because there's a Christmas tree and it takes place on Christmas. Listen, even this June knows Christmas has to do with the spirit of Christmas, the warm feeling, the love, the friendship towards neighbors or good stuff that Jesus taught about, right, not blowing up a skyscraper blowing up it's not Christmas. I didn't get to defend people about birthdays. I can't. I got a Facebook gripe about cake, damn. But we gotta do an episode and I still have. I got to tell you about about what that's gonna piss me off. You and maybe the slices as well, But I don't know if I should do this. It's just teetering. Actually, we're gonna need my girlfriend for this because it involves her. And she looked at me and she was like, are you fucking kidding me? Are you really telling me this right now? She's tease me and the slices? Yeah, I think you just do a second episode this week. I do think so. Can I now that we've like awkwardly ended the episode, can I just can? I got I feel like I gotta throw one more thing in, one more thing let me throw in Go ahead, Okay, if you think something is funny, right slices and you want to send it to me, first of all, slow down. I'm not a big fan of watching miscellaneous ship, but I gotta request two things played by the rules. Number one, if you tweet me, you've got to get better at retweeting with comment or putting the link that you're talking about in the tweet. If you just hit reply all to a tweet and you say to me, what do you think of this? Right, I'll give you an example. I got a tweet and I'm not mad about it, but I got a tweet from I'm gonna give Hm props because he's a great listener. H Alan Alan said, hey, what do you think of this? Right? So it was during the show this morning, so I'm like, now I gotta hit conversation, go back to previous tweets. So I said, hey, man, I don't have time to go looking for previous tweets. Can you just send me the link. I'll be glad to watch whatever you want me to watch. Make it convenient for Brody. You'r the royal Highness who needs a fucking chair in the outdoor tent at table. So he sent me the Okay, who's high maintenance? Now, David, I'm just saying I I want to enjoy what you want to send me, but actually send it to me. That's all I'm saying to call you out in your ship. You're a high maintenance man, all right? As are you booge your boy? Well, the second thing is if your dm me videos on Instagram, scare you'll agree with this, Okay, put some context. Hey watch this guy fall or I want you to watch this because there's a spelling error, or I think you'll find this funny because it's a scam. Right, But people send me d M s. They just send me a video. Then I don't know why they sent it. Then I go, what are my looks? I look, I'm looking for spelling errors. I'm looking for funny. I'm looking for someone falling. I'm looking for something that references something we mentioned in a scary If somebody sent you a video with no explanation, you wouldn't you go like why? I like to be a little bit of an investigator. I like, okay, Lindsie, what did they mean by this picture? Is here? You go, send scary any video you want, send me that you think he might like, Send me vague ship. I don't care myself. Sorry, So I'm asking for Here's why. I want to thoroughly enjoy and get the joke. I'll get the joke when I find it. I'm a smart enough guy to figure out why you send something or your intent. Okay, hold on, here you go. I'm gonna send you a video right now that I got sent today, and you tell me why this is all self serving? Ship? Right here, I don't know what do you want to? Okay, be a dick.

She's faced down on a on a belly board, a boogie board, and she's sliding down head first, right down, down down this slide which it looks like it looks like a wet and a slipping slide that goes down a hill into into the sand, into into a pond.

Speaker 1: Start uf, dot up, start Up, Brooklyn Boy, start up, Brooklyn Boys, start data. They're making noise data dot up. Episode one seventy one. This is the Brooklyn Boys podcast. It's us. I'm David Brody, I'm Scary Jones. That together we are the Brooklyn Boys. Yeah, and we don't normally talk like that. So if this is your first episode, calm down. So a good I gotta say, we don't sound like other podcasts. We were talking about this this afternoon too. We just like come right out of the shoot and we are for some reason, and I don't know why, Brody. We just tell it like it is and we lay it out on the line. We were our hearts on our sleeves. So I've been listening to a bunch of the podcast. We're on vacation last week, so I listened to a bunch of other podcasts and I have to say, Um, one of them is ripping us off. We'll talk about that later. They do a good pod cast, but they're ripping us off. And then I listened to a couple that were kind of jankety and one that was very like about the radio over Budd's podcast, tell us about what I'm saying we're talking like that, we're talking to the podcast, and I'm like, dude, you're not you should not be doing that, not doing a radio show. You're doing a podcast and you're just talking, and you know it's a podcast should always sound like we're just part of the room. Like I'm gonna read a couple of uh um d m s later on that pretty much where we got people through the pandemic because they're like cooking in their kitchen and we're just bull We're just bullshitting in the background like friends. That's how a podcast should come off at all times, Like when you come off like we're actual friends, which is like, you know, amazing, we're talking. I mean, we we really put on a charade if you think about it, because we're really not. We've ate each other's guts. No I'm kidding, uh no, but we talked. We we talk to you, not at and there's a big difference speaking of us being buddies and friends and all in real life. I was trying to think, like because somebody said to me, oh, you guys are good friends because we we've done some interviews lately. I've done a few interviews. You've done a few for other podcasts, and uh, somebody said to me like, oh, you guys, you guys hang around you friends off to the podcast, like yeah, yeah. And I was thinking of an example of us hanging out right, and it was us going to every Mets game at the World Series. And then I realized that was And I'm not sure we've hung out since. No, we have. We have the time that I took you for you steak dinner, remember that the freebee. Yeah, but that was like seventeen eighteen. And then when you got your free steak dinner that night, which free steak dinner to acknowledge it was one time since I'm trying to think what else pandemic aside, although pandemic speaking, else did we yeah? But when else? What did we really hang out? Not much my point, but it's on you, buddy. I'm out. I'm out. No, I will say pandemic aside right, like, we haven't hung out, but pandemic inside or outside as it were. I've seen you more than any of the member of the show, true, which I think now is twice, which I'm sad. In a year, it's said, it's said, it's time to get back to normal. I'm sorry, it's over. We're done. Well update because a bunch of people I want I can't name everybody, because it was a bunch of you. So last episode we talked about how you were vaccinated and I was not vaccinated, and a lot of people were deeming me saying I can hook you up, I can make appointments. Nothing I legitimate, just they're good at it. They're good at making the appointments. Um. I have since been vaccinated once. Congratulations, got I got the first shot. Um My arm was sore for a couple of days, not a huge deal, and I'm excited counting down the days to the second show. By the way, this is not a commercial for us to say you should get the vaccine. You shouldn't get the vaccine. You do what you want. I do balls. I'm gonna say you should get it. That's what I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna say, make your own decisions as long as you as long as you consider the whole planet needs you to do it. So anyway, my point is, are you trying to get That's Jewish guilt right there. That is not Jewish. Not gonna do a Gewish guilt. That's science anyway, I didn't get a sticker. So like when I voted, I didn't get a vote sticker. They were out. When I got my shot, I was like, hey, do I get a I got vaccine sticker? Now we're out of them. Yeah, I got I got one. I gotta, I gotta. I want a shot that you know. I wanted my card to say, get off my ass. I got the shot, Okay, because I got it for the wrong reasons, all right. I got I got the shot because if if I'm gonna be completely honest, because I just want to be able to have the v I P and the perks in life. Right Because a lot of these places, like the American Airlines Arena down in Miami saying, oh, the first two sections are for people with VAX cards. Well wait a second, I want that card. Yeah, or you see what let's see obviously, you know about Crispy Kreme. You get a free donut every single day. Let's be honest. That's why you did it. Because I have not cashed in once, but you would. I mean, look, you like free ship. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not looking for Donna. You see what Sam Adam's food? Sam Adam is the latest one to orfer a perk. They're offering people free beer if you could prove you have a vax card. So it's like, wait a second, well, you gotta prove you a vaccinate, but I also want to have a vaccoll obviously, but I also want to be able to go around if I want to visit Grease this summer. Grease might the Grease government might say the Greek government like, hey, you can't come in without one. I'm like, fuck you, I got one. Boom, I get in now. It's almost like my my get in. So you're saying, if you're going to grease, or you want a free donut, get a vax, I got you. If you want to grease, so you want to eat some grease, you get. But anyway, but my my larger point is, yeah, I just don't want people to bother me anymore. Like I want to be able to walk into a venue if I have to host it. But you also, you also got the vaccine. And one of the things you're most excited about was your ability to travel, and then when you traveled, you got yelled at on social media for traveling because my god, someone tried to cancel me. Someone literally, someone tried to cancel me. They were like, you are a public figure, and you should set the example for others by staying home because I don't know what you who you think you are. And I'm thinking, like, this person doesn't know me from Adam. They don't know, they don't know what I'm stayed home. By the way, Yeah, Adam, whoever he was, just he is, He's still alive. But the point is, don't try and fucking cancel me. You know what, People can make their own decisions and make their own a sess well, but more importantly, you you you, you traveled safely, you have the vaccine, and I can go and see anybody I can do who again, remember that those days never get sprayed in the face with carbon nitrogen. I I I celebrated a club bed So that was was DJ Pillow DJ Pillow clubbed, all inclusive snacks, all inclusive, diet cokes with no ice. It was great, great vacation. Huh. And I I was in the hot tub, so that counts. And uh and my pool opens two and a half weeks. By the way, we've been friends for how long? Still waiting for that? In fight for your pool to be you know, well, now that we'll both be vaccinated, there's no excuse last year with something. Last year you gave the oh it's COVID excuse, can't have scary in my pool. What's your excuse this year, buddy? Well, you know what, you got, the one shot vaccine. My pools only for the two shot vaccine people. So are you vaccinaing? Know? No? Um? I do also want to make one clarification from last episode. I left out a joke that has been bothering me all week, and so I read one of our our listeners sent us pictures of a beagle. Right. I looked like it was a quick Mart or one of the quick food places, gas station places where the foods pre wrapped in the little refrigerators, and it was a beagle with some stuff on it. I'm sorry, I apologize if you guys were screaming it out loud. I don't know how I missed this, but clearly it's a spiegel because it's you know, at a gas station, a ship A ship A ship, yeah, because it's spelled the p E A G E L. But if it's a ship one, it's a spiegel. So I do want to apologize for missing that opportunity to call it a spiegel spiegel speak spel alright speak cool. Well that's you finally got your joke. Kid. You've been we get right two weeks because we gave him a bonus episode. Actually it was last it was last week. I'm gonna listen. This is episode one seventy one. If you haven't listened to one S one seventy, go back, please go back. I know you guys might have been on vacation, or because we were on vacation, you thought we maybe didn't put out new episodes. We put out a new episode every week. So if you're like, oh, the show's back, we must have a new episode and you're tuning into this one one seventy one, we had two weeks of episodes. Yeah, we need you. We need you to actually listen to uh five minutes of each one. I can tell by the numbers that didn't listen, especially, please go back. It's like a bid an abyss. It's a one seventy and there's listen. We worked on our vacation and you know we would like you to, you know, enjoy it because it was good stuff. Pretend I made the Schigel joke last week. That's all I'm saying. Hey, by the way, if you're traveling, you know, and I know a lot of people haven't traveled in over a year. I mentioned as quickly on the Big Show today. But it bears repeating. It's worth mentioning, worth repeating. You know, if they're boarding, but this, you're gonna have a problem with this, Brodie um So, So obviously they want they don't want people passing in front of the back of each other. They want as little contact to pass by people as possible. So they well, they first, they board first class, because they always go first. But wait, hold on, but wait, wait then those people then then they board from the last row forward. So obviously right, but now wait a second. The first class people, but there's a bigger probably and thought they were better than people, which they do, then they'd want to go on last so they don't have to have any of the low class people like me in the back walk past them. If you go in first in front of the plane, the entire plane walks past you. Well, if you'm pay an extra, I want to be COVID free. I want nobody walking by me. I hear what you say, circulate, No, I got you. But you know what, there's some there's a bigger problem here, and it's for the premium economy people, the people like me who will decide, I personally want to pay a little bit extra for my leg room, so I want to sit in the first row and coach one of those first two rows. Well guess what that becomes. The s end last rows to board the plane. You leave, the plane is not taking off. Why wait a second, why does the first class people pay all this money? Wait a second, why the first Why do the first class people pay all this money just to get on the plane first? Okay, but me playing a little bit extra money, I get dead last. I mean, I think that that sucks because I'm trying to pay a little bit more for some leg room, just a little bit. And the fact that I'm paying money into this, I now have to sit last. It's just partial boogie world problems. Well it is. And then there's no overhead compartment space, and then you gotta check your bag. I think I don't know. The issue isn't you got fucked? Truthfully, the issue is the first class people that the first class people sitting in first class they're not first class people. Necessarily, those people should go on last la la la last last all right, last, well, you know what, to be honest, they should move first class to the back of the plane. Now they the back of the plane. Then when nobody walks past them, Yeah, I guess whatever. You don't listen, I know you know what you're the first one is off? How about that seventh row off seventh right, So you got off seventh row whatever it was seven, it's always that seventh row. Man well, because it's six rows of first class roughly, and and then the bulkhead row with no with no trays in front of you, no seats, is usually seven or eight. I've been on a plane, I gotta says work. Oh. Oh, by the way, they're using the COVID excuse to not give you your free ship. So that someone told me that the first ask. They don't give you free free nuts anymore. You know nuts, no hot nuts, usually get hot nuts up there. You get none of that. They don't offer you the drink as soon as you get on the plane, and they don't offer you a full meal. They offer you one of those what they would sell in economy. Those those fucking boxes of these people like steerage, poor bastard. No, the thing is everyone's trying to cut corners now, and they're using COVID as the excuse to like, I'm sorry, we can't because of COVID, so to me at Brody and you should be alert to this, and I'm sure this is happening everything in everyday life that COVID. Now people are starting to use COVID as a reason to cut corners financially and give people less for their money. And I do believe it's and I have an example. I have an example of this right here actually, but I don't know what you. First of all, what's your take on the airlines doing that? Well that that's a listen, it's I guess it's evilly clever but awful. Yeah, you want to hear another one. Unless it's a food handling thing, unless they give you the prepacketed sandwich, and they don't want to give you the the the the microwave the food and then people touch the food. Doesn't this pandemic have anything to do with people not getting there? Again, I'm not trying to fight for the people because the hot nuts, you get hot nuts or or or actually, like you have hot knuts, you gotta get off the plane. You might have something, you might have a symptom. You might take the temperature you're you have to take the temperature of your nuts. Or in normal times, you get a lunch, right, and they hand you like a plate with that actual like tray and you get like silverware and everything. So all that ship gets sanitized anyway, So how did it spread COVID or you know, there's gotta be a reason why or a reason behind these them doing it, And I think it's this is just a way for them to cut corners. But fuck it, man, we're gonna just get more profit out of these people by spending less money you get they give you less and you pay more. There's a scamboni there. But I feel like there might be a partial explanation. I feel like maybe there's less food handling, there may be less staff on because there's less flights, So there might be something. I'm gonna do you one better. We were sitting at a restaurant on vacation in the Bahamas, my girlfriend and you and the girl Robin right, and we were sitting at the Robin right, Robin, so so here's the best. So so then the waiter comes over to us and we were at I forgot which rest one of the rest doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. Actually it turned out to be all of them. And the waiter comes over and says, hey, um, your scary is this mad libs? What are we doing filling the blank? Hey? So he goes and I picked up a fart. No you can this is gonna. This isna sad libs. I know, of course, man does were man live back? When were your kids? That the craziest food was kind of inky? Every now and as far. So we get the menu and then the way it's like, would you like flat water or would you like or like sparkling water? So I'm like neither. We'll take some tap tap water. No, no, you don't take tap in another country. It's the Bahamas. Give me a break. It's not like Mexican. I know you have had bad experiences. What about flat water? What's wrong with flat water? By the way, isn't it just water? We called a flat water for It's just water. It's like white milk. It's just milk. It's not flats, carbonated or not. He is flat it's water. But here's the best office water, not piste off. What the flat water? Flat water? You want flat? What are they called still? You want it still? Or do you want still? Or you want is it still water? I'll have it if it's no. But that's not the problem. Did you correct them? No, because there's not the that was not that. That was not where we were going. Here. Well, now that's where I'm going. You derailed my evening, the fun I'll tell you right now. Everything else you say now is irrelevant. Water after what I'm about to tell you, still water runs deep deep was the glass I would let you get it out of your system and the milk. I'm gonna still water. I'm gonna give you the punchline after stupid. Name is still water? Go ahead, stupid, You're done. You're just about flat flat water says you want? You want still? You want sparkling or what? Neither? I want tap? Okay, so let's say you want to tap water. Fine, you know what he tells me, we can't do that because of the pandemic. I'm not even kidding you. And by the way, that was the story at every restaurant every night they gave you the water I'm like, who whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. I'm like, I understand something. And the waiter shrugs his shoulders. His pandemic you know, pandemic car you know we can't do it the still water. Of course, dude, that's a scamboni. Get the jingle. It's exactly what I'm talking about. Holy shit, it's a scamboni scamboni. So yeah. So I looked at my grandfriend and she looked at me at the same time, and she said to me, dude, scamboni. Yeah. So wait a second, let me get this straight. Uh, you you can't serve me water from the tap, regardless of the country, get for free. You would think they would, well, you would argue that, right because it's like, wait a second, I don't have an option. Now you're going to force you're literally forcing my hand at spending nine dollars for a giant bottle of aquapana or and since when it's tap water, I give COVID in it, they can't pour. That's what that's that's it. I mean, I guess how bad of things in the Bahamas they got. They got COVID ocean COVID late I don't. I still don't understand. Is it too much to maneuver? But no, you still you still they still give you glassware, They still go to the tap. Where is the what is the COVID situation where they can't have give you tap water? I don't know there is. I'm telling you, I have to google it. It's another dude, it's another scambody. It's another way of giving you, making you pay more because of the pandemic, you know what, working into the price. Give me bottled They should be buying jugs of tap of bottled water, have a bottled water machine in the back and be giving people water. At first I laughed at him because I thought it was a joke, and he's like, no, I'm serious. It's unlike you to order cheap person's tap water. That's a brody move. No, But because the water is clean there, I am not problem with it. You know you're in You're in New York City, known by the way wins the prizes every year for the best water in America. Uh, the best city water. People don't realize that. People don't realize that New York City water is actually rated very high in the country. I drink that I take drink. New York, I get tap water. I'm in New Jersey where I live now. No, it tastes like crap. If you grew up in New Jersey, you may not realize it. But if you live in New York and you moved to Jersey, it's like it's horrible. So I would not order tap water, most likely in New Jersey. If I'm in the Bahamas, I'm getting I'm getting bottled water. I'm getting diet coke, no ice. The problem with those places in hotels the guns, use the guns. No, No, that's no problem. It's when they have the little bottles. I went out to dinner with with my friend Jeff last week. Right, went to a really nice little pizza place, and I gotta tell you how we ended up there. It was the only place that had outdoor seating on Tuesday night, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday night as Tuesday, right, so we called the outdoor seating. Yes, we get there. There's a tent, big tent, no problem, open on two sides the whole length of the rectangular restaurant, huge long tent. All the tables, picnic tables. Right, I'm not paying dinner prices picnic tables. I have a bad back, so I'm not sitting on a fucking park bench to eat my dinner. The funk outta here. So I had them bring me a chair, and I said, at the end of the picnic table, so I could have a chair outside, your high made is well. Listen, tap water boy, you ask do you tell you think I'm boogie? Look at you having to I have a bad back. I can legitimately, medically cannot sit at a picnic table for an hour. Ring your Royal Highness a chair. She did, She did, But I want to tell you how we ended up there. So so Jeff says to me, Hey, let's meet at this Cuban restaurant on such and such road. Blah blah blah. I've never been there. I want to try something new. It's all right, we'll go there, no problem. Now. Jeff is like me, wants to sit outdoors. Not ready for the indoor seating yet they advertised on the website. There's pictures. They have a huge patio outside in front of the restaurant and it's all tables. What umbrella is really nice? Like? Oh, it was a beautiful weather. It was like seventy three seventy four degrees in in the in the area. Sounds great so far. So okay, we get there. We see the patio. All the chairs and tables have folded up leaning against the wall, so like, oh, maybe there's a backyard patio. Fancy schmancy will backyard action. So we go in. There's maybe three or four people eating dinner at the table, and the waiter slash host comes over to the host stand and I said, excuse me, do you have outdoor seating tonight? He says not yet? So I said, oh, um, well it's early. We had gotten there like five oh five. I said, well, what time does the outdoor seating start? If not yet? I don't know. Well is it like an a half hour? Um? I don't know. So I said, well, well who would know? He says, you have to ask the manager so much team meetings before the night starts. Where everything right? So I said, he is? You have to ask the manager, so I said, And he stands there looking at me, and I said, so his name was Jorge at the this is true, Jorge a jay George. I said, oh, hey, you know you work here. Could couldn't you? Couldn't you go as the manager. There's there's nobody eating right now in the restaurant. It's like three tables, and can you can? You go ask the manager and he looks at me like there's a novel idea. I guess I could, And then he says, I suppose I could, And he goes and ask the manager and he comes back and he says, yeah, not till the weekend. Right. So I said, when you said not yet you met not yet during the week you didn't mean not yet tonight. Yeah, I guess I don't know you work here, right, Yeah, but you're showing up tonight on a Tuesday. On a Tuesday. I wasn't taking a survey, like, hey, what nights do you have outdoor seating? I'm trying to plan an evening. I would have to assume that you were. If you're my customer, you're here tuesday. You wanted about the immediate moment, right, I wasn't on the phone saying I'm trying to plan my weekend. I'm there with my friend. I want to have dinner outside. It's beautiful out. He's like, not yet, not yeah, So I'm thinking maybe six o'clock will kill time. We'll wait around you know, and we'll eat it six. No, maybe he couldn't find the words. I couldn't find the words. So then we called bone Fish Grill. Right, called bone Fish Grill. I said, hey, you have outdoor seating tonight. She says, no, I'm sorry, but we do have indoor seating. Well you did ask that question, but of course you have indoor seating. You're open. You're what other seating is there? Oh my god? Okay, Grill, But you know, like I called, I called out back and I called um an Italian restaurant. Both of them said the same thing. No outdoor seating tonight, but we do have indoor seating. What what? These aren't take out only places. These are like outback steakhouses, not takeout only. It's a year into the pandemic. I know you're open, we have indoor seating. By the way, the outdoor seating should be in the it's in the name of the place. Out back. I'd like to sit out back by the dumpster, because guess guess what it's it's based off of the outback. It's based off the great outdoors, the whole feme of this restaurant. No outdoor seatings. So then so that's fine. So I got one more food story. I think you'll appreciate this. I want you to tell me how you'd handle it before I tell you how I handled it. So my kids wanted me to pick up Chippotle for lunch. Right, Normally, my wife has the app, and then she has our account, and I haven't set the app up yet. I have too many apps on my phone. That's not one of them I have right now. So whenever they want Chipotle, my wife orders the Chippotle right. So like if I say that all three of us want, she knows what the usual order is, she puts it in whatever. Well, I didn't want anything, but my wife was in meetings all day, so I didn't want to bother. I said, you know what, I gotta go over to the area with chot Is. I'll just walk in and place the order. It's two things, no problem. So my one daughter wants, uh one of my door just wants a bowl with food in it, you know, of course, and the other one wants the kids the kids taco which is three harder soft tacos, and then she says, get me the the cheese Casadia. Okay, it's like five bucks something like that. It's a kid it's on the kids menu. You can get the tacos or the cheese casadia. Okay. So I go to the counter. I ordered the bowl for my my one daughter, and then I said, give me the kids tacos and I said, oh, before I forget, I want a cheese Casadia. Now I'm looking at the menu. Scary, right, you know the menu on Chipotle, it's like right above the food. You look up, it's got those the hanging signs right, and the kids menu says, uh three tacos and cheese Casadia. She says, I'm sorry, sir, the chiefs casadas online only. What So did she open up the app ordered online to be a smartass? No, no, no, she's saying it to me. I'm supposed to order. So I said, wait a second, Oh, it's online only, meaning like okay. So then she wants you to do it right. So I said, so you want gonna go outside and use the app and onner? Why not? I'm here? No, what do you mean? Why not? I waited a line. I go, what's the difference? I said, it's on your menu. You take a flower tortilla, you throw cheese in it. You melt it and you say you cut it. That's it. You don't even have to cut it, just put the cheese in the flower. It's online only. I go, it's on the menu, it's right there. What does that mean? On Like, it's not like a scary it's like a hidden thing, right if you want the steak target, you know, here's But the thing is it's a physical impossibility because it does not compute. It does not and they can't get you it because that's person has always been in the cash. It's the problem though. But if it's if it's, if it's there and you're in person dining, maybe it grays out that because it's like this is an online on her only. Okay, So then I saw so I said, you know what, now the soft taco? Wait is it? But what is the point of offer? And just I'm trying to do trying to encourage people I guess to order on the Apple order on what I guess. But I'm standing there, there's other people in the store. It's not like I'm the only one. Is it a special deal? That's all a deal? It wasn't a that's my point. It wasn't like by white to get one free. That's it. I get it. I get it. If it's a deal you're trying to encourage me to is the app. But it's the one items, that's the only item. It's online only. What kind of bullshit is that? It's the simplest item on the menu. It's a tortilla and cheese, that's it. So I said, give me the three soft tacos with chicken and cheese, hold the chicken. Yeah, and that's why I have three case and dias. And she says, I don't know if I can do that. What do you mean you can't do that? Give me three to chicken soft tacos with no chicken and now just you can't do it because when you go to a place like that, that's so that was going to explode. I said, can you please check with the manager? So she she walks over to the manager, who, by the way, is eight feet away. She had to have heard the conversation, but she had her back to me like she had her back like to can you hit the can get the override button in your system? So she comes. She says that the girl says he wants the chase cases into and she goes, yeah, Okay, that was it. Yeah, yeah, okay, there wasn't great out button. It's five, it's four. You can hit miscellaneous four. You're gonna raise it up. But that's scary. Come on, that's bullshit. Of course it's bullshit. You would have gone outside and use the app. I'm gonna give you an example this right now. But I will say this, I would. I wouldn't, yes, just to spite them. I do it in front of them. If I'm setting them, I'm the one doing the work. That's not spiting, you know, But you know it's it's to me. It's like you. It's almost like you fucking imbecile. He you know, I'm gonna do this in front of you to show you how stupid this transaction is. But but I wanted to say one thing, and he is. Unfortunately, sometimes people, and you know this from being in the service in the industry like this, you're not when you're trained, you're trained like a fucking robot, especially at places like that. If you're gonna manager, you train them onto what's gonna happen Like I'll give you for instance, wait, holy we finished. So if you're a new bie, if you're a rookie if you only been there. You don't want to step out of line anyway. You don't want to get fired. You may be scared, so you have to do things by the letter. And then unfortunately it will take a manager to come over. But you're right, these jobs required. But these these jobs require some critical extra thinking outside the box. Let me give you an example. When I was a manager and an area trainer for Starbucks many years ago. Right, this was in their early nineties when nobody again I mentioned this before, but I sold the first frappuccino in New York State, thank you. Nobody knew what Starbucks was. No one knew the rules about putting your own milk in. No one knew anything. And one of the common requests we would get is people would ask for a cafe. Ol A l a I T. Do you know what cafe? You know? It's a U L A I T. Correct. That is that is a car That is a regular coffee with steamed milk. That is not espresso. Correct espresso. Let's just a latte is an espresso with steamed milk. Ola is a regular American coffee with steams milk. Right, that's correct, But it's not on the menu. Right when we opened, cafe was not a thing, but people would ask for it. And then I noticed that like the employee heads would explode. So when I trained them and I would open up, I was a store openers. I would open up on the stores with trained staff. I would say, listen, just you know, as a cafe ol a, here's what it is, and here's what's different about an old a versus a lot a lot lattel. I'd explain it. So this way, they're fucking heads wouldn't explode like this dim witted Chipotle. It's only oh please, when I was just stupid and I blamed Chipotle. That's a stupid rule. It is a stupid rule. But just because of COVID, these may because of COVID, they can't give me the chiese case. But man, these managers, these managers have to think out of the box and train these these kids. Now, I will say one thing that happened to me in Miami, as with my friend Brian, and we went to a restaurant. We rolled up two o'clock in the afternoon. There were some people eating and i'd there was some hot There were two or three high tops outside and I'm like, let's sit outside. It's a gorgeous day. So I said, so it was. It was literally five minutes before two o'clock. I walk up and I'm like, hey, um, can I get those two kind of get a high top out there? Oh no, those are uh those are for reservations only. And I'm like, okay, but your lunch rushes over. We want lunch and there's plenty of seating inside and out. Uh yeah, no, that's really for that's only for reservations. You didn't make a reservation, did you. I said, no, we're walking only. So I look at my friend Brian. He's looking at me. The woman. The woman is sitting there. The managers nowhere to be found. I said, okay, I oh, I literally check out my phone. I go to open table. I look up the restaurant. I said, reservation for two outdoors. I hit the submit button. It comes to her computer in thirty seconds and then she goes, oh, I guess we could see you now. She sat me outside because I went through the process because I'm like, you fucking dult it. Really you made me go into my phone. But you know what, Brodie, at the end of the day, the result was the same. We got to sit outside mission accomplished. Who cares to me. I had a good laugh about it, and I made her look like an idiot in front of her and her co worker over there that neither of them did anything about it. So I'm like, okay, this is funny. I'm like, I'm actually going to open table in front of your face to make a reservation for two o'clock, which is in three minutes. And so I've done something similar twice with different results. So, uh, one time it was a pizza place, and the other time it was a burger a burger place like a h anyway, so I can tell you the pizza place. So I call, I call, I call, I call no answer, no answer. Right, I know they're open. I know they're open. I call it. Call it called no answer. So I walk in and as a girl, you know, behind the counter, and I see the phone on the wall, and uh, so I hit the call button while I'm I'm talking to her, and I hear the I see the phone ring. It's right over there. I see it. I said, uh, you want to hold on into the phone's ring and she waves it. It goes man. She's just decided not to answer the phone, right, So that's that's one. The second one was it was a burger place in Jersey is from the upscale burger places and fast food, but you know, anyway, so, um, I call again. There's there's no answer. So I'm like, oh, so I get there. I only called once, no answer. I get there. There's a long line, right, and I'm like, oh, they must be really busy. So I stand in the back and I call and the guy that picks up the phone, I see, I want to place it to go order? Yeah, sure what he got. So I'm in the back of the place in the corner and I placed my order and he took my honor. So the phone is a very powerful thing too, can play at that game and how many times all right? Back in the day, Back in the day, think about when we had to wait in line for tickets at ticket Bastard. When you were standing outside of fucking record store, CD store waiting online eight o'clock in the morning, you right, because the only way to get tickets was either before the internet right before your TETs. We would stand outside ticket tron or tell letron where the funk they were and ticketmaster call him ticket bastard. Uh, And we were sitting out there waiting, and then nine o'clock would show would happen, and then three the first three people would get in. All the manager until nine oh seven seven works they have bought all the tickets, that is correct. They would they would ring up all the tickets behind the counter. They would all the managers would take the tickets and scalped the four online. All of a sudden, you're sitting up a decots sold out. They sold out right, But all the while, didn't you have your phone out and you were trying to call and you were calling your two phones because it was the beginning of cell phones, but not quite not we had a pay phone. If there was pay phone, one of us would go to the payphone on the corner. We had, well, Brody, we had the situation. We we had all of our friends had we had these initial again the clamshell phones, and we would call. We would be calling ticket bastard on the phone, calling, calling, calling, And so I'm waiting in line to get the tickets in person, but I'm also kind of double reinforcing to get that and place my order online. If I can get on if I'm getting if I get through. Yeah, we we were long overdue for a break. But anyway, really, yeah, we'll take a break. I got stuff, but so do I. Dude, I got I MA have to admit something to you and the slices that I don't think you're gonna be too proud of. If it's you, I'm already not proud. Sy. You got a lot to get off your chest today. I'm so I'm mad at you for what. Well you got the jingle ready, m m. Yeah. Now I'm gonna play this off my phone because I didn't want you to have access to this. So this is a reminder because you guys listen in order. By the way, we haven't played the Listen in order gin as yet in a while. Rather, did you bring them home? Yeah, I'll play those later, all right. So Scary and I did interviews with yeah, with the you Know I'm Right Podcast? Right, I think I was episode A hundred and scariest episode one on four something like that, and we we tweeted it and posted on Instagram and we sent out links and everything the you Know I'm Right Podcast, and I think they are in the zone Io in the Zone Io on social media. I think maybe in the zone is the is the umbrella company that handles all these podcasts. Now, I did my podcast. I don't remember talking that much about scary but scary, and I'm not playing the sound. I want you to go listen to it kind of throws under the bus a couple of times in the interview, making himself look like the good guy. I don't have to sound ready because I have the YouTube video primed and ready to go for something else I want to play. He's like, oh, Brodie's always the one. Brody's always the one. Malcolm. He says, I'm the calm one. I'm the professional, prepared one. I'm not. I'm the low maintenance one. If you're the low maintenance one, I am. Two seconds later, you have you proved you a boogie. You're like, I guess I'm not the low maintenance one. You're high maintenance in your own ways. Let's not let's not play like this in one way street. Okay, but that's not it. Now I'm gonna play something, and I want you to know I'm giving Scarier freeb I'm giving him a free client mention because after the first client mentioned, I want you to hear what he does unsolicited. This son of a bitch, he has outdone himself. Listened to it, and by the way, I am convinced that Joe in the interview was told to ask this question because it doesn't make any sense. He's doing a sports interview about the Mets and his career in radio, but listen to them with a question out of nowhere like it's a legit question, and then listen to what Scary does afterwards. Here we go, your prick. Hold on, I usually don't eat until I come home. That's terrible. Um, So I wanted to mention this because I think this is really remarkable, remarkable years ago. Uh, you coordinated and I don't know if I'm saying his name properly. Enrico, Uh, Frederico or Fredico. Oh, Enrico Ferdico. I know that sounds like sounds hold on, so he says, I like he goes, I want to I don't know how you did it. You coordinated with this guy. Come on, let's let's be real here. But he was originally a client and now you have a relationship with him because he's great. I get that, But this guy's Italian. This guy Joe's Italian, and he's playing it like, I don't know how to pronounce this name. People don't like he's talking about Dr Fatlove. I'm getting it. I'm getting there, but I'm just setting up. He's like, I don't know how to pronounce the guy's name. It's an Italian name. This guy's name is Joe. Before you go my joke, I'm not gonna love the joke. I just want to let you know that I was not given the questions ahead of time. I didn't tell him to that question. I'm telling the slices, Okay. I had nothing to do with this. I stepped into whatever you're trying to tell me. By the way, the slices do not believe you, but walk into it. Sounds like somebody you're paying me. But you know he's a he's a fat lost doctor. Soeple years ago, UM, I lost a ton of weight. Um it's like a forty four It was some crazy amount of weight, thirty pounds and forty three days, and then every every year thereafter for quite some time. UM, I'd go back in January and do and get it, do a detox r I do a quick forty five days kind of like, hold on, so far, so good. You're answering this question since you know so you did so you do a dry January, A dry January, a little bit of February, right, yeah, February, yeah, wait for it. And then um. More recently, I've been into these d herbs, which is like these explements, which also is a great detox and you know, the the effect is, you know, you know, you lose weight by it, and you you can you know, it's had. It's ends on the person. It depends on how much you know, you know into what you are, how strict you are. Yeah, okay, hit the jingle bitch commercial. You have the largest fucking balls of anyone. I know. What are you talking about? The guy asks you about Dr Fat loss, which is bad enough in an interview about sports. He asked you about Dr fat laws bat bat. Then after you answer your question, you throw in like seventy five more you knows and work your way into de herbs, your new client. He didn't ask you about the herbs. He didn't say, how did you get so thin? This week? Here? What else you got on the back burner? Hey, tell us about your your your your list of sponsors, okay, Hey, anything else you want to promote? Scary? No, he asked you about Dr Fat Loss because it's a catchy name and because you lost weight every year and it's in your bio. So then you're like, oh, by the way, you're like, yeah, yeah, Dr Fer Why do you hold on? Why do you give a funk? Because I gotta be honest, Brodie, it wasn't on this podcast. It was And now you use their podcast and you to promote another client. Why not? So who cares? It's not it's none of your business. That is a punch in your phones, right, there's none of it. There's none of your business. It's none of your business. It really isn't. It's that this isn't. I didn't do it on our podcast. I know. It's just the unmitigated goal. These poor guys, Joe and Nick. They're doing this great podcast that they're talking about whatever. For whatever reason, Joe was like, this dr familyst guy, tell me more about dr led me down this road? Right, But he didn't say, and anyone else you want to plug? How come he didn't give out a ring doorbelt. Remember, while you're at it, they led the horse to water. I drank and then I turned my head and said, and then you hopped on the ball and wrote down for forty seconds. I said, here's some oats. I'm gonna eat some of those two. I mean, I figured I while I was here, I might as well we're only ship while we're on the topic. And I took. I took full advantage. And I admit that I did. And there's no problem with that I did because it was true. It's all true stuff I know. But it just seemed like, you know, like, while I'm talking about I'm gonna segue into another client, why not I have the floor? They gave me the floor, no shoe. That's a great question. We're on zoom doing this interview, and it's a little blurry, not like the crystal four K quality of a ring doorbell. If I must say so, I don't ring doorbell is not my client. It's slow slomans. You get a doorbell. I'm sorry, that's right. Ring is not as good as slomans. You get a doorbell camera. So I met four K Sloman's for your long system. We get a free doorbell camera. Just pound two drifted from your cell and then say the shingle again, scary. Oh my god, I have um, I'm gonna call that a scary scamboni. I do wanna, I do wanna bring up? Can I bring up a scambony? I told you about this zip for scamboni. Yeah, so my I gotta play the jingle. Okay, okay. So I don't know if you've ever heard of pure Leaf tea. I have right pure leaf tea. Again. I blame my daughter. She likes the sweet tea. So she says to me, Hey, if you go to any of the stores, can you pick me up. I'm in there. I'm having a craving for lemonade. And if you can't find any lemonade, regular lemonade in a little bottle, pick me up the sweet tea from sweet Leaf. That a pure leaf that I like, Right, okay, So I'll talk to you about lemonade in minutes. I got a real problem with lemonade. But so there was no lemonade. So I'm in Stopping Shop, which is a major grocery chain. And by the way, Stopping Shop, you soda prices are astronomical. I don't know if I bitched about this before stopping Shop. I think they feel like soda is a luxury that people in first class want to buy because nobody charges soda prices like stopping shop. I don't know if maybe they're given great prices on on grapes, maybe their prices on cold cuts are good, but there's soda prices are out of the fucking world. Okay, you tell me this isn't a skim bony. They got a yellow set, little yellow tag sail sign, right, it says the sweet tea four for five dollars. It's good price. Right, So right, it's like two f three fifty at the quick the quick marts, at the seven elevens and the Quickies whatever, there's always like three f five two for five five, that's great. Read the fine print. Now. Sometimes the fine print says only four four deals per person, right, so you only buy twenty. Sometimes it says must spend you know, ten dollars is in Like if you go to Target, they'll say, like, you get ten dollars off if you spend ten dollars on men's grooming products. Right, here's what I gotta buy to save the fifty cents on the fucking pure leaf tea four for five dollars. Fine print When you buy four Pepsi two lead bottles. Now, who's drinking four lead bottles? Two lead bottles of pepsi if they want an ice tea. I don't see the cornation there, okay? Or pure Leaf eighteen point five ounce bottles or rock Star sixteen ounce cans, all made by PepsiCo. Probably I'm assuming that pure Leaf is made by Pepsi co. We got I get guarantee without even looking that it is is Now I gotta buy rock Star. I gotta buy rock Star drinks. I just want to buy some fucking bottles of pure Leaf. My daughter, No, not gonna buy two lead bottles of Pepsi. I don't want at stop and shop two dollars and fifty cents a bottles or whatever. It is ridiculous prices for soda. And then I get my rockstar. I don't want a rock star. I'm a rock star. I don't have a cop car. Brandon Lembergreini. I hate that song. Come on, it's catchy, it's catchy. I'll give you that catchy it's catchy song. Anyway. Well, well that's a scamboni. A scamboni. But they want you to try new products that you may not have tried before, or maybe you haven't tried pepsi, or you know, it's just a way for them to to get the sales going for that product. Maybe Snells are lagging for pepsi. This, oh please, you know what? You want to give me a discount on pepsi. And you say you can have the discount of pepsi if you try a bottle of sweet tea. You're okay with that? Well, I'm okay with it only because you're trying to get me to buy something new. Hey, you know what you buy sugary soda. Here's a nice tea. Maybe you want nice tea for your kid right by the big thing. Get a discount on the small thing. But working in I'm not gonna buy the small thing. But I've been and I want to discind a big thing. They want you to spend more money. That's the problem, the high problem. I'm never buying soda and stopping shop. Never you want me to buy the soda and stop and shop. Write whether with the two bottle of soda, same same ship? Well, similar happened with me with Staples. Um I I you guys, you know I overpaid for printer Inc. Last week. I spent all this is Travis. You don't I spend crazy money in Staples. So Staples emails me um a coupon, like, hey, thanks so much for spending all this money. Uh save you know, here's fifteen dollars to spend right now. It's Staples dot com. And I'm like, oh, how cool. And then I readefined print and it said must spend sixty or more. Oh so now it's you're only getting You're pretty much my next purchase. It's pretty much what it is. It's a scamboi because now you've tricked me into spending another sixty dollars. Just what you get fifteen off? You just told me, You just told me fifty. I get fifteen dollars to spend. Why not just give me fifteen dollars in cash? Yeah? You know who does it all the time, Dick Sporting Goods. I get those cools. I may may have mentioned this on the podcast before Dick Suck Sporting. Yeah, Dick Sporting Goods will send you a green coupon, big green booklet with a big like detachable thing that says they off fifteen dollars off your next purchase. Then you look at it goes undred more. Yeah, fuck you, You're given me a fifteen percent off coupon. Is what you're doing, basically, And if I spend more than a hundreds, right, because now I'm gonna get in fifteen. So that's why they don't give you a fifteen because they know that you're not gonna perfectly time out the hundred. Hey, back by the way, back to the back to the sweet tea and all that crap. By the way, I noticed something on labels. It's another scamboni. Yeah, but and then remind me about lemonade, another scamboni. This jingle is gonna wear out, all right, we'll just stop it right there. So, so if you ever take a look at beverages or anything for that matter, you know, even foods, it'll always say it will say natural flavors on it. Right now, did you know that natural flavors it's just a favorite stripper by the way, that's natural juices, different club, natural flavors. So natural flavors is actually just garbage. It's it's it's nothing. It makes you your brain think, oh it's all natural, it's wholesome, it's good for me. The flavor of shit is natural. Is natural fat is correct, it's the flavor of natural fruit juice. Natural. A natural flavor could be the flavor of fucking phosphate, or the flavor of any chemical that you multidextron or molotol. It's because the natural flavor. So it's like a cocktail. Yeah, so that ship blows off. But the point is a natural flavor doesn't really say anything. It's one of those empty words descriptors. But it's a step above non natural flavor, right right, Because but a natural flavor could be really bad for you. So so when you see natural flavors, it's not necessarily anything good in that craon orange is in a natural flavor, right that you can't get it grow a croon orange, but an orange. So anyway, look out for the label, look out for the natural flavors on a labor. So here's my lemonade problem. So I told you my daughter on so Friday night is my uh I'm board, I run out of the house, I run errands, I go to like quickie marts, and I pick up stuff for the kids. Right, I'm like, I'm going, what do you want? Shakes, candy, whatever, ice cream? What I'm going Friday night Friday night. Friday nights. Yeah, that's my life, dude. So so Friday night, because you know, we work Friday morning usually and I take a little nap. We have a little dinner, a little order, and some pizza maybe we did on Friday. And then I'm like, you know, at ten o'clock, I go, I'm restless out, I'm doing a food run. So my daughter says, I'm craving lemonade. Can give me a lemonade? Yeah, lemonade? How hard could that be? Scary? It's not hard at all. Well, actually I'm looking down, it's pretty hard right now. Yeah, I don't want to do any time to ask. Okay, all right, So I go to our friends a quick check, love quick check. Go to quick check. I get the Reese's peanut butter stuff they want, the frozen instant shake they want. And I go to the refrigeration and then you know, you know the wall of refrigerators. Oh of course, it's like a right doors doors everywhere, doors everywhere. They have like a twelve doors, eleven twelve doors. There They've got a door for water flavored with stuff, you know, like to fight a little a little bit of raspberry in it. Right, they have the case of Arizona iced teas. And by the way, nobody sells diet Arizona iced tea anymore. Nobody fallen by the wayside. Yeah, don't tweet because I'm I'm not going wherever you live. I'm just telling you you go in any place, there's nine, nine or twelve flavors of Arizona iced tea. I want the one that says diet jen sing. They used to make like diet right, they can't find it. Now you can't find the green Cannon diet Jensing. Don't don't sell it, Okay. Now that that means it's based on sales, right. That means the most popular ones are not the diet but you can't spend You can't buy the diet one if you don't sell the diet one. So I'm not buying iced tea and getting three calories in a in a twelve ft high can of Arizona iced tea. Okay. Then they got the refrigerators, the AIDS refrigerator, right, the gatorades, the power raids, the refrigerator, okay that one. Then they got the sodas, the coke one, all the cokes, diet cokes, then they got the pure leaf tea, all the teas, all the teas together right. Then they got milks, got all the milks very organized. Then they got bottled water, big water, sports water, little water, all the waters ten doors across. Not one fucking lemonade in the whole store. Really, I can get raspberry lemonade. I can get an Arnold Palmer half lemonade, half iced t. I want a lemonade. I want an American old fashioned Lemons, sugar and water in the bottle country time. I want. I want like a baseball apple Jack's, sorry, cracking Jack's, and hot dogs and and and lemonade and apple pie. I can't get a lemonade. Well, let's think about it for a second. So I leave, I leave quick check, and I go to the ex on station they have, like the on the Run store or whatever whatever the store is there. I go in there. They don't have lemonade. They've got, uh, what was the lemon in the head they like the blueberry lemonade? Did they have Well, if they had pink lemonade, that's close enough. Nope. Oh you know what. Neither they had a Snapple refrigerator. Neither place carried snap a lemonade, right, I have to be honest, I don't know. I don't know who makes lemonade everybody, So snap on me. Lemonade that was their thing. So that no iced tea is I'm pretty sure ied tea is there. And lemonade that was their first to roughly the first two. Then I go to seven eleven, seven eleven, Sign of the Times. That was the old slogan, you know, I remember that why they're called seven eleven seven mind blowing today years old, blah blah blah. Okay, so that's true story. So I go to seven eleven, and they've got the frozen ice cream freezer, the frozen freezers redundant they got, they got the ice cream, the frozen dinners for the divorced dads who have nowhere to eat. Right, they got that that thing, they got the ice machine where they got they got the thing with the thing and the other thing. Lemonade. Lemonade, all right, brody, I mean maybe it's just not popular in your areas. They stopped carrying it in my area where I live in in the Addis Ababa, Papua, New Guinea. Jesus Christ. So I got finally it's stopped and shop. When my I'm not buying the pure leaf tea. I said, fuck it, I'm gonna find some lemonade this damn supermarket. So I go to the wall of bottles, bothering you, the wall of bottles, refrigerated bottles, right camp, No lemonade, no lemon a little bottles, no little bottles. Finally, by the orange juice, I find, uh, simply lemonade, simply the company simply and they give all of the proceeds of the lemonade Alex's Lemonade Stand. Now we're friends with the Alex Lemonade Stand people, right, we are the Office Rand show every year. Yeah but they make Yeah but they they they actually make their own lemonade with with lemons and sugar. Right. But this is a lemonade company that's donating their profits, Alex's Lemonade Stand, right in honor of Alex who died trying to raise money for cancer research. And the mom's a friend of We love the mom, Alex's mom. Anyway, So I bought the jug of lemonade, which because I couldn't find a regular small bottle lemonade. Right that was Friday night. I got the jug of lemonade, like the half gallon, right, the orange juice, whatever it is. Okay, So that's Friday today as we record this. We're recording this on a Monday. Okay, on a Monday, I'm pulling the curtains back. We may not release this till Thursday or Wednesday night, but re recording it on a monday'sting it tomorrow morning. No, no, because no one's listening to one seventy. We don't know. I want his punishment. No, I want to give them a chance now that we're back from vacation to enjoy one seventy. Anyway, My point is it's been in the house now Friday night, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. You heard the story I just told you, right, I sure did. My daughter has not opened the fucking lemonade. Oh my god, I love it. She's sucking with you. She did it on purpose. She's like, she wanted you to should I'm not theade right now. I think I think she knew no one has lemonade. I think she knew that you can't find lemonade. She's like, Dad, you know, I'm in the movie for lemonade. Maybe she likes some tab or some fresc what you can't find anymore either, can't fight? I have a craving for pepsi Max from the from the nineties. Can you find out a goose chase? Remember pepsi clear? Can you find some Pepsi's disgusting. I'm gonna I'm gonna vomit right now? Can we do? We're gonna do some mail and then maybe we'll get into some other I got a couple of mail items that change like that sounds like the Nightlome. You've got madies? Is that Steve from Blues Clues? Well, you've got me out by the I have an a l story. Remind me Okay, yep. You can always email us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com or get to us on social media. Leave us a mail, some email anyway it will find us. Or some d m s like Tom Vodka. Wow, this guy is irate with you, Brodie. No, yeah, there's a mistakes. I gotta debate, Brody. I want you to I want to bring I want to get to the podcast. I want to get on your podcast and yell at him. Well, that's not motivation to put you on, you know. I wanted to bate even is even with Brody, because not even is not even yep, amongst all the orders you fulfill for your merch, one gets messed up. Here comes Brodie had to call had had to call you give me three more. No, I will fix the situation. I will supply you with what you paid for. Read the small print. Shit happens. Not Brody wouldn't give up free merch for a small mishap. What he's trying to say is if no, it's hypothetical. He's trying to say that if he tried to get free merch out of us, Because if he tried to pull a you on us with merch a merch problem, you would actually you wouldn't give up the free merch. You understand, because it's a small mishap. Scary. What do you think, be honest our slices? Well, first of all, I think that we wouldn't mess up because I think our our company is five star, is the one that's dealing with They've been wonderful. But let's say let's say something happen. You know how I feel about our listeners. How would I handle it? You would probably make good on that free dessert. Well, okay, so so wait, hold on a second, but he goes on to say, the definition of even is equal in number, amount, or value. The statement even is not even is an oxymoron. It contradicts itself. If you're happy with the outcome, you're even. That means even is even. I'm gonna get Brodie screaming. If I get onto this podcast, you will hear him slamming his fist on the desk. He is not right all the time, que of the jingle, Brodie is wrong. Even is not even? Is not even? By definition? Is fucking wrong. Time is money. You should be compensated for bullshit wasted time. We argued that all the time on this podcast. But when you're okay with the outcome, you are eve in. Look up the motherfucking definition of even. Brodie. Hey, I love Brodie, but he is just fucking wrong. Child. I love you. Here's why I love you. For the Tom, Tom, here's why you're wrong. First of all, I think you need to be a little more pleasant about this. But here's why you're wrong, Tom. I never said even is not even in the in the end of the transaction, Okay, once you get the free dessert, then you're even. But because you didn't pay for the dessert. You're not even. The even is not even comes at the middle when they when they burn your steak and they give you a steak twenty minutes later. The restaurant thinks that's even. And I'm saying, that's not even right because you had the penalty of waiting while your friends eight. So I'm saying the restaurant's explanation for even is not actually even. You're taking it literally to mean the term even. It's not even. What I'm saying is when the restaurant says it's even, when the company says it's even, it isn't because they aren't taking into account the time you waited. No, No, I'm explaining my, my, my theory that i'm I'm writing a book. I should be able to explain it, right, Um, I'm explaining that at the middle of the transaction, their explanation of even is not right. It's not and at the end, so he's trying to take a literal translation you're saying, and I'm saying, I'm not saying the word even doesn't mean the word even. I'm saying their explanation of even is not actually even. They're wrong in their use of the word even. So, if you'd like, I will rename my book. Hey, their use of the word even is not actually what I consider even because I think I should be compensated for the bullshit I just sat through the end. Does that make more sense that better Tom or better yet the end result of the transaction, When at the end I feel like we're even, it wasn't really even because I got something for free, which in by definition I think we should have a celebrity death match between you and Tom. There's no there's no celebrity death match. I've answered his question. At the end, when I get fifty dollars reward back or a gift card, it's not even right because I spent five hundred, I got five hundred dollars in product, and I got a fifty gift But here's here's where, here's the larger point, and and this is where I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna agree with me on this moment. Okay, hold on a second, we'll listen to me. So, why I haven't hung out with you? Yes, why DIDN'TET invites your pool? Wait till I wait to get into your pool. I'm gonna I'm gonna get diarrhea in it. I'm gonna right before you continue. You want all the slices that aren't Tom to tweet scary and me and let us know if you think I just did a great job of explaining even it's not even no. But here, but before you do that, you can apologize slices what Tom. What Tom was trying to say in the larger point is in the in the case of the steak dinner, the fact is he's not talking about no. No, he mentioned that too. The fact is we spent quality time together and the outcome was satisfactory. No. But yet you still think you're sta dinner because I'm not steak dinner. I'm owed you're spending money on me for the fucking career hit I took. That's the bottom line. It isn't about the steak. If you want to hand me three hundred dollars tomorrow, I will go to steak dinner with you. How about that. Give me the three hundred dollars. You already said that was unacceptable. No, because I already spent the time with you, but you to spend money. So give me the three hundred dollars. I'll go to a steak dinner with my family will end this whole thing. You'll take a financial hit, but then you're out the steak dinner. At least spend the money and get a steak dinner out of it. But if you don't want to buy me a steak dinner, just give me the money I gave you. I tried to buy you a steak dinner twice. We took right, but I don't want to get By the way, if you don't know what we're talking about right now, then you're from episode zero. Please starting from episode zero. Let me get one more one, one more quick one here, and then I'll get on. Well to this today years I love you Tom. I'm gonna, you know what, one day, I'm just gonna have Tom in the waiting. I'm just gonna have him like I'm gonna just sucking springboard him on you how my line goes dead? My equipment failed Today years old. Um, I was today years old when I realized. Listen to this one. Mr Peanut from Planters was a Peanut Butler not confirmed. Don't tweet me, love the show, keep it up slide for life. Can you imagine he was the He was a peanut Butler. Mr Peanut from Planters was a peanut Butler. So it's like peanut butter but peanut no mind blown or is this is this is just gonna be put on that girl's list from TikTok You know what, I don't know if it's true or not. I just don't think it's clever enough to go like mind blown. That's one of those you go, okay, peanut Butler, all right, continue, Yeah, William Fox uh he is will under school I that's e y E underscool am will I will I am clever. He spent a lot of money on our merchandise, so proud of his purchase at Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's why a little switch there. He sent me a screenshot of his order, right that at Brooklyn Boys Pizza shirt adult large Brooklyn Boys baseball jersey. Right, that's the that's the F seven the Brooklyn Boys Slice for Life t right, Okay, but he sent it unedited. Usually when people send us the screenshot of their order, it doesn't have their phone number and home address. So I said, hey, man, that's want to let you know I really appreciate the purchase, but you know most people blow out their information, he wrote back. Yeah, man, I don't give a ship. You guys are the absolute best. And I've listened to the podcast every single day and night while going to bed for two and a heavy years. Truly one of the best parts of my day and easily my favorite podcast of all time. And I mean I give a ship, just not about my address and phone or be being up there for you to see. So oh yeah, well, I am doesn't give a ship. I love that um Miranda, she's uh mes, Mirian. I'm listening to episode one seventy oh she's one of the few, and figured you would be happy to know. I received free dessert without saying a thing. I waited for eight minutes from my donut order, zoned out on my phone so I didn't notice the time. Before I could say anything, the cashier took my order, noticed me, and called over her manager to take care of me. Not only did I get the order right away they gave me, they gave me extra bacon and a five dollar gift card. Shout out to the short staffed, hard working, very lovely ladies at Duncan on West Colonial in Orlando, Slice for Life former Bronx girl Miranda Right, she got freed Right even asked for that. Shout out to Rina mcgwinn, who posted a picture of herselfwhere in the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Of course, a lot of that, A lot of that, A lot of that. Katherine Watson, was that a gong with? What the hell was my phone hitting the microphone podcas cast ads? Hey Brooklyn Boys, don't you should know this? I was real listening to old podcasts, as a real Slice for Life does, And I was listening to the ads as I was working, which, by the way, you should and support the people in our ads, right, but the sales are over if you listen to the snake. No, no, I was listening to the ads. Guess what podcast was advertised in the middle of your podcast? Uh, Peter mar the effing Call Her Daddy podcast The funk out of Here? Scar my man, ha ha, just my man. You did you have something to do with this? No? Figured you'd want to know. This terrible mistake and it needs to be corrected. Hashtag long lived the slices. That's a new hashtag. I've never seen that. So we got money for that. Though, but I don't like it. Wow, so call her Daddy is now advertising in our podcast unbeknownst to us. That's pretty slick. That's scary. You sent me two clips of the star of that podcast talking ill of one of our New York Mets that she used to day. That's not cool. She dated someone on the Mets. Let's not get into it. We're all big fans of right, And she made it a point to say he's a sweetheart. I'll never discuss that relationship in in public. I'll never talk about him, and then she basically drew a verbal picture of him called him out like bad stuff. So I don't know what happened to that promise not to call him out, but she let him have it. So not cool. Don't advertise on our podcast. If you're gonna make fun of my mets, my favorite, my favorite tweet of the week, I'm gonna cut you off for a second. Well, shut up, man, shup. Tom's friend Christine at lamp Russ Star Oh seven three, Oh maybe July. I don't know. She said she wasn't feeling well and I said, oh, I hope you feel better. She said, I threw my back out today. Brushing my teeth, and my husband replied, I guess you're really scared yourself. So I thought I thought trying to ask your own day. Nope, she said, she said, referring to that time Scary Jones pull the muscle, yawning wrong, Scary tell that story again, place. Yes, So I was yawning one day and I was like, and as I yawned, I put my back out somehow. You know, you can yawn wrong, very basic voluntary like things that you don't have to like lift heavy weights. You don't have to get a hurt because you don't know. I don't. You don't have to exercise wrong. You can yawn and if you yawn the wrong way, I'm not even kidding you. You're tired, you can go, you can go numb. You're buying, yeah, going to convulsions because you're yawned wrong. So you make sure I felt I fell to the floor when I at that time, I yawned wrong in the studio. In the studio, you okay, like I yawned yawned. I really did. It's it was. It's a real thing. Look it up. Yawning and having Jacob because I'm is gonna miss two months on the disabled on the injured list for the METS. Hey yawned, wrong, but these things happen. You laugh, Brodie, you laugh. But it God's honest truth, because what happens is it takes a lot of muscles in your body that are not exposed and like it might it might affect your nervous system, yourself, your muscular or whatever. Anyway, Okay, I'm not gonna go into detail. You can google it. It's a real thing. So I want to say, I want to say, well, we gotta take a break. But before you do that, I want to maybe it's another commercial for a podcast. Maybe maybe it is. Jose Jordan's is a new listener and says, word up, guys, um, I I spelled your names. I hope I spelled your names correctly. Yes you did. My name is jose A K. The Chubby Reakin. I found your podcast on I Heart Radio while driving my eighteen wheeler. You guys are so. I started off listening around episode one seven and I went back to the beginning I'm now episode up to episode twenty. The action park rant was hilarious because my father served in the military and was a medic. He drove us up to Action Park with about twenty five family members in the back of a military ambulance when they did the coke promotion back in the days with the Coke cansunk. Yeah. So you love love you love you all show. I'm from Queens now I live in in Morrow, Georgia. Wow. I listen to you guys on the road and consider you guys my favorite podcast. Thus far bo whoa whoa permanently up to episode twenty who so far Oh yeah, okay, gotcha, be easy my friends. And now Slice for Life. I think he that was a typo. But anyway, thank you. That was a really nice email. Jose Jordan's uh anyway, the person, oh, the person has the v I he's seating with the after you get your vaccine. Because we're talking about that v seating. The new meaning of v I P should be vaccine inoculated person. That's very clever. Thank you. That's from Kevin Schuller checking out on us out. Thank you, love you. Um Zachary Smith said, now Slice for Life, now that's now that that's out of the way. I love the merch. I just ordered a hat and the phrases shirt. I also have the gray hoodie, the original shirt and a mask. Love it all. Just an idea here. They want us to make a s your own D sticker, just saying, well, like like you get vaccinated, like I I asked my own D if I don't walk around that if by at least three gets three stickers. Love the show. That's from Zach Zack Smith. Appreciate the ideas. Uh, Kathleen, Wow, Kathleen, hold on, hold on regards to stickers are our merch company has suggested we sell sheets of stickers with some of our slogans and logos. Tweet us legitimately and let us know if you would be interested in that. Just say yes, I would love a shape sticker. Oh no, Brody, we did the worst thing possible. What Kathleen Carris from Long Island Cathy from Long Island Slice for Life wrote up kk No, she's a c K. She's like, hey, guys, okay, I love the f you ape seventy seven hat. It's good quality. Okay there, that's not the problem, Brodie. The problem is my daughter Abby wanted to try it on. Two picks included three year old daughter wearings. Fantastic. That's great. I would imagine somebody's got like a grandpa Abe or uncle Abe. If you can get a picture wearing our few Abe merchandise and with an old person whose name is Abe, I gotta know all right, well, uh Tara. Tristan White actually started from zero again. No secret that I'm a Slice for Life, caught up on all my podcast, decided to start from zero again to relive the greatness I'm up to, up to episode seven or eight right now. I have a couple of things, but I just want to talk about one in episode seven. Remember an episode They're gonna say it right here. In episode seven, I think you guys called Aunt Millie. That's my great aunt. God rest her soul. She's now since passed away, and I was truly touching her positivity is what we all need in these times. Knowing that you recently lost her scary. I couldn't help but think about my grandma, who I just lost due to COVID, and I wanted to send some love your way the way Aunt Millie signed off, sending love to everyone before she hung up. Oh man, I don't remember that. I'm gonna have to go listen to that, uh Tara to Tristan I love you guys. Keep it the great work. Can't wait to listen again, Tristan White, you just gave me some homework for today. I'm gonna go listen to episode at seven so I can hear my aunt Millie on the phone. I didn't realize she was on that episode, but thank you for that reminder. We had her on a couple of times, so there you go. Alright, so I listen. We have a lot more email, but that's all we're gonna do from the moment because we have some more thing to get to and I ad something that I don't know if I'm gonna spring on you this episode or I may wait, we're way late right now, you're gonna be pisting. You'd be piste off, but we'll be We'll be right back, all right. That's fine. This is where I play the menu game. What you're scary? Uh? Do I tell you something I'm upset about regarding Brooklyn? Yes, okay, so I'll get to that in one second. I also wanted to just say the same way you uh we talked about a little while ago about you yawning and injuring yourself. That reminded me you posted pictures and video of your weekend trip, and you posted out you and your girlfriend were doing flamingo yoga. I did you did not do flamingo yoga because you would have killed yourself. You videoed your girlfriend doing uh, flamingo yoga? Right? For those you did yoga with flamingos. Those nothing more bougie than that for those for the for the is that don't know. And I was not in the no prior to this weekend, and I had no clue. Apparently, when you do yoga yoga, I guess it is so boring. No offense to yoga people if you do. If you're a yoga I'm sorry, but it's so boring. You have to do things to spice up the yoga activity. Uh no, this is my take on No. There there is got yoga. There's also lemur yoga. So you do yoga with lemurs. Don't ask? Don't we go look it up? Google it. It's a thing. So, unbeknownst to me, we show up at the resort and my girlfriend goes, oh my god, and I thought she saw a ghost or something. And she's like, I'm like, what's the matter. She goes nothing, She goes they have yoga with flamingos. They got flamingo yoga here. She goes, I gotta sign up, and I said, Robin, no com man, and she's like, yes, I'm gonna do it Saturday morning, eight o'clock. And I'm like, holy shit, it's a thing. You pay a lot extra for it. And apparently in yoga there's a thing called the flamingo pose or we're so flamingos do a tree pose when they're standing up, but they also do a flamingo pose and you can mimic it anyway. All the all, the all the flamingo yoga is, Brodie is just they you go, you take your yoga matt into a cordoned off area and five or six flamingos that are highly trained come out and they walk around trained. What does that mean? You highly trained flamingo? They peck at your matt they may who they don't mad at your pack though they don't know. They don't mat at your pecker. No, but they they so so listen. These these are really it's beautiful, it's very it's very serene. They don't they don't. They walk around and they monitor you and they they're kind of in the mingos monitor you to make sure you do it right there in there in the grass, there in the grass mulling around anyway, some people think that this is a really cool thing. I don't think you can have an honest yoga session because serious yogi's will tell you that you have to get into your zone now, must stay, you have to be all zen and ship Is that it? How do you get all zend zen down? Let me ask your question. Are the flamingos so well trained that when you say not must stay, they don't move? I mun stay right here? How do you get all zend out? But and get into your zone? Definitely, definitely in my zone. Don't make me get in my zone? Kanye? But how do you do that? I admit it. You did not do any yoga. Just admit it. You did not. Even though you said we're doing it, you didn't do it. I didn't do it at any time you step on the mat. I still I stole her content because it was hilarious, right and did But any did at any point did you go up to the instructor and say, well, this will this help me? S MONDI light be more flexible on the matter. You teach me downward, dick, can you teach me that? But how do you how do you get how do you concentrate? Though? How do you really have an honest yoga session for forty five minutes if you're doing yoga with these pink things don't like walking around you and ship. I don't know, I don't know. It's a gimmick. It's a gimmick, and it's another reason to spend a lot of money, alright anyway, So that so the flamingo yoga was a thing. I'll talk more about my vacation next week because we were running short on time, all right, So I want to talk about Easter real quick. Not looking to offend the person that I'm gonna reference, because I think you're fantastic and I totally get you didn't know. But I wanted to address this because I I was in the impression that people knew more than I thought they knew about certain things. For instance, Oh like Franken Sinseen mur Everyone knows frank sinse the don't they do? Now? So I'll give you an example. I spoke to someone on the phone today at Serious Satellite Radio. They told me about eight dollars must call immediately or eight dollars, like eight dollars for what you charge me? What the big eight dollars? So I call and I speak to a great young lady named Cam. I guess started for Cameron maybe really nice. And when I whenever I wrap up a phone call with any kind of customer service person, especially if they're nice, or if they have a nice accent or they have no accent, I like to ask where they're from, just like what what Stadi located in? Because there can be anywhere in the country right or in the world for that matter. I always ask, Hey, where are you. Her response to me was, I'm in New Mexico, USA, Oh, so, I said, So, I said, why why did you need to throw in the USA? By the way, before you go on, I know why, I think I know why. Tell me why? Because the masses are asses. Most of America is stupid. And when they hear the word when and when they hear the word I'm not and when they hear the word Mexico, they automatically think another country. So she's trying to she's trying to do they think the country Mexico. So what she's trying to do is trying to correct trying to be very clear right up front, New Mexico USA, because you want to be She wants to make sure that people are talking about America and not the much. And if you ask me if I'm if I say I'm from New York, I don't mean York, England. I mean come on, So I said to I go, I said, this is at the end. This is after like a fifteen minute phone call where I've I've had a nice intelligent conversation with the woman. And I said, she's a young girl, she's probably in her twenties, maybe late twenties. And I said, how come you said USA like it's New Mexico. She said, you'd be surprised how many people it is not what you said? Nope, how many people think New Mexico's part of Mexico. Heard wrong? That people think New Mexico is part of Mexico. Similar. She's trying to correct people up front because she gets a lot of you know, frightening that is to me, it's very frightening that there are people who like and you know who it is, right, it's the Merica people. It's the ones who are so proud of our country that the law of America. So they know that they think New Mexico is in Mexico. They don't know that New Mexico is a state. That that's the conversation. That's okay. So think talking about people not own things. Now, this one I can I can excuse. So So to the to the woman who wished this on me, I just wanted to say, I I appreciate it. I'm not finding fault. I want to educate people, right, So and I did. I educated this woman. I explained it to her. She's like, oh, I had no idea. So I was surprised. I don't think there's anything wrong when he'r not knowing. Okay, But but this is similar by the way, what I'm about to tell you, I haven't haven't told you yet. Well, let me just on this on this point. Um, it's similar to Panama City, Panama versus Panama City, Florida. You have to say the country because there are two totally different parts of But I said what state are you in? And she said New Mexico, USA. It's not like if I said we're all you and you're like, I'm in Panama City. Can take me down to a Panama City with a yeah, thanks man, thanks um. Okay, So she so she wished me on a d M just to remind you everyone, I'm Jewish. I don't think people know what that means. I think that some people and look nothing wrong with it. If you don't know, I would think at this point you should know. But if you don't know, what's fine Jewish? Being Jewish is not a sect of Christianity. It's not like Lutheran, were you Like, I don't know what Lutherans are. I'm Catholic, Like no, no, no, it's a completely different religion. Yeah, I would imagine who doesn't hold on? Hold on? And I get nothing wrong with this because she's a slice. So I want to just point it out. I we had a nice conversation about it, and I was interested in how she didn't know, and that's fine, but I'm just bringing it up. She said, happy Easter. Forgive me if you guys don't celebrate traditionally, right, if I celebrate Easter, Well, I guess she meant like, I'm not sure how you celebrate Easter. Now, A lot of people have wished me Merry Christmas as well. Right, here's the thing, just so everyone's clear. If you If you want to make a list of things that are different about Judaism from Christianity, rule number one is we don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. That's what they that's what they teach you are fabled stories. Uh. I didn't believe he was the true Messiah, right, but he existed in your world, right, Yeah, well it depends when you ask. I I believe he was a great man, and he may have had some wonderful teachings. I just wasn't raised to believe in everything else. I don't. I don't. I don't know whether God is Jesus, Jesus is God, the three of them, that the Holy Us just a slab like one of us. Right, So I start off with be a good person and believe what you want, whatever it is. But I just wanted to clarify that that when you wished me a merry Christmas, as far as it's a holiday, have a great time. But I had somebody again, not this person wished me a merry Christmas, and and and uh, something similar, And I said, you understand, I say, it's not my holiday, but thank you you. Oh you don't celebrate Christmas, So again, celebrating the birth of Christ not as important if you don't believe he was anyone to be he selling, right, I listen. I've read a lot of the teachings of Jesus. I believe he said some wonderful things. It's just not issuing an apology to somebody. I'm saying is if anyone thinks that Jews celebrate Chris Christian holidays Jesus days slightly differently, we don't celebrate them at all. I don't know about you, but I celebrate Jesus right. So my point is I like that you sell it, but but again, pass over. This person wished me a happy pass Over and a happy Honka, so I do no. I just wanted to clear up the air for future Christian holidays. You can say, have a nice day if you want, but understand it's not my holiday, and I don't. I don't want to cheapen your holiday by by saying, like by taking it as my holiday. The last thing I want to mention about Easter. And I don't get this. I don't get this at all. And and I and I called out someone I know about this. They said, oh it's Easter. Don't forget the Ten Commandments is on. Okay. I I don't get why The Ten Commandments is considered an Easter movie. I'll tell you why. The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston is the story pass Over, right, It's the story of the Jews leaving Egypt and the ten plagues and how the Angel of Death passed over their doorways and didn't kill their firstborn son. It takes place. Don't tweet me thousands of years before Jesus was born. When whenever you know, the birth of Jesus was right zero year zero or whatever. There's no correlation, okay. And I asked somebody who's Christian. They said, oh, yeah, it's Easter movie. I watched ever Easter. No story to pass Over. It's like watching the passil film, and it's all about footpool. To pass Over in East usually flour around the same time anyway, so it's all lumped into the same Don't take away my holiday. It's my movie. Don't make it an Easter movie. I don't take the the what was it the mel Gibson movie, The Pastilor of the Christ. I don't make that a Honnekah film. I don't make Oh it's a hot it's honeka, let's watch Passion in the Christ that pass Over. It's a Ten Commandments is our movie. It's like The Nightmare Before Christmas. That that's a Halloween movie. That's not Christmas, is it? No, it's not. It's not a Halloween movie. It's the night Mare before Christmas. You ding that, But it's a nightmare, but it's haunted, it's but it's a nightmare before Christmas. Wait, that's my point. Ten Commandments. Can we have so few jue movies that die hard? Is that a Christmas movie? Oh, it's not a Christmas movie simply because there's a Christmas tree and it takes place on Christmas. Listen, even this June knows Christmas has to do with the spirit of Christmas, the warm feeling, the love, the friendship towards neighbors or good stuff that Jesus taught about, right, not blowing up a skyscraper blowing up it's not Christmas. I didn't get to defend people about birthdays. I can't. I got a Facebook gripe about cake, damn. But we gotta do an episode and I still have. I got to tell you about about what that's gonna piss me off. You and maybe the slices as well, But I don't know if I should do this. It's just teetering.
