#391: You're SHIRT Outta Luck!!!

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Episode 391. Welcome to the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. I'm Skiri Jones. And I'm David Brody. And Skiri, your microphone sounds awful again. Does it really? It sounds like trash? Now it's better. It just popped back on. I don't understand what's happening because to the slices, I sound great. You don't know. You don't go back and listen. Yeah, I do. It sounds like butter. I sound like butter to the slices.

00:00:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:00:42
Speaker 1: Well, Scary's had some issues with his $ 7. 9 billion sound system. Okay. All right. You know, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's... You know when they say the new iPhone comes out, your old one starts shitting the bed? Maybe they're about to. They say it's a conspiracy that Apple does that on purpose. Maybe Rode, the people that make the Rodecaster, is doing that with the $ 6, 455 million equipment that they have. Maybe there's a new version of that coming out. I don't know because you already have the new version. You sold your old version to one of our slices. Yeah, but the new version, but this is now an old version because it's been around for three, four years now. Oh, so the old version is gone. You got a new version that's now an old version. I'll tell you to get the new version. That's the new version, which will eventually be the old version again. I think they're coming out with the Rodecaster 3. And if they do, you know that. Oh. I got to have the new one. I got to get rid of this one. Oh, so Slices, get in line. So if you want to buy Scary's old Rodecaster 2. But it's not old yet. It's older. It's older than the old. It's not as old as the old one, but it's.

00:01:45
Speaker 3: No.

00:01:46
Speaker 1: It's still new, but until when the number three comes out, this will then be old. That two is trash. Do we have podcasters, though, that are out there that would actually buy this piece of equipment? That my fingers have been running up and down the feeders for years. I would imagine. You know, last week I went to a podcast convention at Terminal 5 in Manhattan, and you didn't go. But it was an all-day event, Thursday and Friday, two days, all day. And I went with my friend Eric from the It's Eric Nagle podcast. Check that out. And we had a great time. I was going to go. I wanted to go. I'm kind of jealous. I feel like I missed out. Well, if you've ever, so Terminal 5 is this big club in the city. And they have like three floors. And it's like a dance club, a concert hall, a bunch of different things. But they had five or six stages set up. to do like seminars, like, oh, here's a, well, how to market your podcast, how to do video, how to grow your audience, all these things, right? I thought I'd pick up some tips, which I did. Got a lot of great tips on things that we're going to talk about a little bit later. But I didn't know because it's one giant room with a few balcony levels, how they were going to have multiple seminars going on at the same time. Well, if you've ever been to a silent disco on a cruise ship, We all had to wear headphones with multiple channels on them that light up in different colors. So if you were at the red stage, you would click your headphones till they lit up red and you would hear the speaker talking about whatever they were talking about. And if you're at the yellow stage and so on. So if you were bored by the red guy, you just switch over to the yellow stage woman. Yeah.

00:03:27
Speaker 2: Right.

00:03:27
Speaker 1: And we had a whole itinerary and we could anything we wanted. So it was a great thing. I had a great time. And I got recognized by a couple of people that listened to the Brooklyn Boys. I took some selfies that are young podcasters, and they were there to learn more about podcasting. You're a rock star in the podcasting world. You're David Brody. I would not say that. I would say that we had some slices who were there. So shout out to the people I got to meet and took pictures with. And then I got recognized by someone who said, Hey, David Brody. Now we had name tags on like laminates around our neck, you know, like cards that said who we are, what podcasts we do and what company we're part of. And so when someone said, Hey, David Brody, I said, Oh, that must be somebody that listens to the podcast or, or knows me from the morning show. And I said, Hey, you don't, he goes, Hey, I don't know if you remember me. We worked together a long time ago. So I thought, yeah, right. Well, a long time ago must've been someone at the radio station when I worked there beginning. I'm not, you know, I don't recognize him immediately. So I looked at his name on his tag and I was like, oh, yeah, I vaguely remembered. And he sort of looked familiar, but it's been a long time. And I said, Z100? And he said, no, Old Navy. It was someone that I worked with when I was a manager at the flagship, the biggest Old Navy store in the company. That was years before Z100. Yeah, 6th and 18th in Chelsea. And I was a manager. He was a stock rule manager. And we were good friends. And I was like, oh, my God. So turns out he's in the podcast world. He works for a major podcast network. And we hit it off. We had a great time. So very helpful. Made a lot of contacts. A lot of people asked for you. You know, why isn't Skiri here? And I said, because he's a bougie, lazy bastard. That is not true. I must have had something going on up against it. I think I did. I think I told you why I couldn't be there. I forgot. But I couldn't be there. If I remember correctly. It wasn't out of laziness. No, if I remember correctly, you said, oh, I should go. That's what you said. That's what you said. You go take notes. That's what you said. You go take notes. That's the kind of dinner plan that night.

00:05:38
Speaker 2: Really?

00:05:38
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday from nine to five. Both days. All right, Dolly Parton. Thank you. Very nice. So you could have come after work. But anyway, I went, I took notes. One of the things that I learned, and I think we can announce it now. is the importance of having a podcast website. So we are going to be launching our website. Today is the 24th of September. Yes. Is that correct? Do you remember the 21st night of September, though?

00:06:10
Speaker 2: Yes.

00:06:11
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So does Earth, Wind, and Fire. Earth, Wind, and Fire. Yeah. I would say by the... We'll announce it when it's up, but I would say by October of this year, we will have live. Okay. You to the Brooklyn boys. Yeah. The Brooklyn boys live.

00:06:28
Speaker 3: Sorry.

00:06:28
Speaker 1: No, the Brooklyn boys podcast.com. Great. Don't go to anything else. The Brooklyn boys pot. What am I listening to? The Brooklyn boys podcast. And so that website will be a source for you to click on. You'll see the new episodes and descriptions, and you'll be able to click any platform that you listen to us on. So this is a great way to share our podcast. So if you have a friend or someone you know, a coworker, and you're like, hey, you should check out the Brooklyn Boys podcast, you should go, how do I do that? So rather than say, go on like iHeartRadio app and go look for it, you can just say, go to thebrooklynboyspodcast.com. The name tells you the website. It will have only taken us 10 years when we finally finished that. Great. No, just under 10 years. But I am in the process with Skiri of designing it and putting the final touches on it. But you will have a one-stop shop. And there'll be a link to our merch store right there.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:07:23
Speaker 1: So you'll have everything you need for us. Boom, right there. Yeah, we need to switch the merch store up a little bit. We need to do something. We need to shake it up. Yeah. Okay. Is that the cars? The cars. I gave you that one on a silver platter. Wait a minute.

00:07:39
Speaker 2: Right.

00:07:39
Speaker 1: Not shake it off, which is Taylor Swift. That is correct. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Big things happening. Yeah. Big things. I'm excited this afternoon. I'm going to an event. The New York. I have more about the podcast. Yeah. What event are you going to? Oh, I'm going to the New York Giants legend. Lawrence Taylor is being inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame today. He's getting some award. So I'm going there today, tonight, with Jet Ski Brian. I'm his plus one. And we're going to be... Oh, it's Lawrence Taylor. I'm sure there'll be a line. Oh, my God, you went there. Sorry. A joke as old as time. David Brody, 1986 references. So, yeah, I mean, apparently there's going to be some... New York Giants, old school New York Giants that are going to be there to surprise him. They'll be in the room. It's hosted by one of the greatest defensive football players of all time.

00:08:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:08:34
Speaker 1: Hosted by Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito. Yeah. New Jersey's own. So that's kind of cool.

00:08:42
Speaker 4: Oh.

00:08:43
Speaker 1: Right? Is he from Jersey? Yes. He's going to bring a Jersey Mike sandwich with him? I don't know. We'll see. He's Jersey. Sliced fresh. Sliced fresh Jersey Mike. I'm actually looking forward to this. So my quandary was- That's a big one. I would love to meet Danny DeVito. How would I- Love to meet Danny DeVito. How would I dress for this? I mean, am I going in the Giants jersey, like an LT jersey? No, you are not.

00:09:00
Speaker 2: No.

00:09:00
Speaker 1: You don't have an LT jersey. It's more formal. I think I have to wear a suit. I'm going to wear a blue suit for Big Blue. I don't know. That's what I'm going to do. We'll see.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: Red tie?

00:09:09
Speaker 1: Red tie? We'll see. Giants colors? Couldn't see that. Now you should tell them how you met Danny Dimes, the quarterback of the Giants that time. Danny Dimes. Yeah. About him. I don't want to talk about him. That wasn't him.

00:09:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:09:29
Speaker 1: So I don't know. You slices might not remember this, but when Daniel Jones came to the Giants and Brody. He made a big splash. He was a big deal right away.

00:09:39
Speaker 2: He was.

00:09:40
Speaker 1: And then we thought we saw him in Tribeca in a restaurant. We didn't think. We didn't think. I saw a guy who looked like Daniel Jones. He looked exactly like him. And he was with a very large black man who looked like he could have been a lineman. Like a big heavyset guy. Yeah. So I said, I told scary go, Hey man, that's a Daniel Jones, a giant.

00:09:59
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:09:59
Speaker 1: He goes, Oh my God.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:10:00
Speaker 1: And scary. Didn't know him well enough. He wasn't like familiar with his face, like Peyton Manning. You'd see Peyton Manning, like Tom Brady, like, right. So I went over and I said, he's like, I don't want to bother him. So I went over and I said, I'll, I'll talk to him. I'll see if it's okay. If he doesn't mind, you know, signing an autograph or taking a picture. What did you tell him in that moment? I said, my, my dopey friend claims is a giants fan. And I have convinced that you look like Daniel Jones of the Giants. And he laughed. And I said, and I have convinced that you're a lineman to the other gentleman. And I said, when he comes over, pretend you're Daniel Jones. And I said, he won't know your name. You're a lineman. He doesn't know lineman's names. Just pretend you guys both play for the Giants. And whatever he says, just play along. And if he wants to take pictures or whatever, please take a picture. He goes, yeah, oh, absolutely. That's great. So I told Scarey, yeah, they said they're more than open. They'd love to meet a Giants fan. And so he went over and he introduced himself. And he took a picture. I took a picture with him. I put him on my Instagram too. Yeah. He looks exactly like him. Not really like 60%. And that's when I, I, I, after he posted it, I told him it was a joke, but he was all excited. He met Daniel Jones, but he did not. That was, yeah, that was a long time ago. You know what? I wish we had him back right now because he's changed. He's turned his career around. And, and, and what do we have to show for it for the giants? Jackson Dart, who's out for the season, which we learned yesterday out for the season.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:11:15
Speaker 1: You know, people are pissed off at me because on the big show, after their week one win, they beat the Cowboys week one. I'm like, Giants are looking good. I went on the air and I said, I got to say, and I don't want to jinx it, but if these guys stay healthy. They're firing on all cylinders. They looked good last night. I'm telling you, they're going to make the playoffs and beyond. I said that on the radio. Where's the audio? Oh, it came back to haunt me. As soon as they lost and then Jackson Dart went down with the injury, they played it on the air. They recalled the audio. Garrett doesn't miss a trick. He played it. He goes, hey, remember last week when Skiri said this? Well, he jinxed them. So now we have listeners hating on me saying that I jinxed the giants. Yes. Cause it was all me. You should have brought that audio to the podcast. Would have been nice to hear. Oh, you don't want to know. Why would I embarrass myself like that? It's bad enough that I said, I said, but I said, but well, speaking of embarrassing yourself, I don't think you're the reason Jackson Dart injured himself and he's out for the year. I think this bit of audio of Jackson Dart is why he's out for the year. Can you tell me what word he's using? Listen to this. Ready? Yeah.

00:12:34
Speaker 5: We're still out watching tape, but, you know, I think it's just a tribulation to the work that we put into the offseason.

00:12:40
Speaker 2: Huh?

00:12:40
Speaker 1: The extra hours. A tribulation? Yeah. So he's trying to explain why they played so well after the first game. And I think he meant it's a tribute, but he made up a word. Here it is again. Still out watching tape, but, you know, I think it's just a tribulation to the work that we put in. It's a tribulation. A tribulation. To the work that we put in. Oh, man. Is this what happens when you spend more time on the field than in class? That is an unbelievable use of a word that doesn't exist. A tribulation. A tribulation to the work that we put in. I will say more than half of America probably was going along with it and shaking their head like, yeah, whatever he said. They don't know. It sounds like it could be a real word. Maybe it is. Did you double check that? Remember the rules. Yes, no, no. So I did take a screenshot. If you're going to correct someone, make sure you're right. Be right. Tribulation. I looked it up. Tribulation is severe suffering or distress. So do you think he meant severe suffering or distress? Doesn't fit in this context. Yeah. So it is a real word. Yeah, but I don't think it fits in that context. Oh, Jackson. Anyway, anyway. He'll have plenty of time to brush up on his vocabulary as he is sidelined. God damn it. And this Malik neighbors... He's not 100%. All these people. All right, I don't want to talk sports. Here's the thing. Again, not to get too football-y, but just to talk about any team you root for, if you like sports, Malik Neighbors was their star wide receiver they drafted, right? Yeah. He's going to save their franchise. Yes, he was. He came back last year. Last year was his first year, maybe, or his second year.

00:14:26
Speaker 2: Yep.

00:14:26
Speaker 1: He played like two games out for the year. Out for the year. So now they're like, oh, we finally have Jackson Dart and Malik Neighbors together. This is going to be great. And now darts out for the year. Remember several years ago? Remember the Saquon Barkley injury? Let's kick off the year with a nice injury for Saquon Barkley. Well, he plays with the Eagles now. Yeah, now he's an Eagle. So now, whatever. We can't get ahead, Brody. We can't.

00:14:52
Speaker 2: Why?

00:14:53
Speaker 1: Our teams. Everything I root for is fucked. Well, I'm a Jets fan, so shut up.

00:14:58
Speaker 2: No.

00:15:01
Speaker 1: You could be worse. You could be a Cleveland Browns fan. I could. What's going on in Cleveland? Well, always. They're one of the worst franchises in sports. No offense, Cleveland. It's not your fault. You know what sucks? For those of you who are from Cleveland, and again, for those of you not into sports, Cleveland Browns have been perennially a terrible football team for 70 years. They had a couple of good moments of playoffs here and there, but they were terrible. And I want to say approximately 1997, 8, 9, somewhere in there, They picked up, maybe 97, 98, they picked up, it doesn't matter, don't correct me, they picked up and moved to Baltimore and became the Baltimore Ravens. Okay? They decided they had a better deal in Baltimore, and because the Baltimore Colts had moved to Indianapolis, became the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore needed a team. So the Colts were like, we're not getting a new stadium in Cleveland, we'll go to Baltimore. So they went to Baltimore, became the Baltimore Ravens, and won a Super Bowl against Scary's Giants in 2000. Okay. So the Browns won a Super Bowl as the Ravens. So then the NFL was like, we got to give this city back a team. So I think in 1999, they gave them back the Browns. Like, let's make a new team. And now you got the Browns back. And now the Browns suck again. So their only Super Bowl in the past, whatever, 100 years was when they were the Baltimore Ravens.

00:16:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow.

00:16:22
Speaker 1: So everyone from that team went over to and became a Baltimore Raven.

00:16:26
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:16:26
Speaker 1: That's what happens when franchises move. So. All right. I mean, you know, you can look up the years. I'm being approximate, but maybe they moved in 94 and then in 99, the Browns went back. They got a new team. Well, shout out to Cleveland. And then how about the, well, yeah, the shot. Okay. One more thing. It's not very sportsy. It's more, it's more an interesting story. The Browns were trying to like rebuild their franchise. Like, you know what? We're going to get a real quarterback because they kept drafting number one, getting the number one overall pick and picking the wrong quarterback. Every time they drafted a quarterback, wrong quarterback. They're like, you know what? We're going to spend a shitload of money. And in football, contracts are not normally guaranteed. They're normally like, if you get injured, you're fucked. You don't get any money.

00:17:06
Speaker 2: Right?

00:17:07
Speaker 1: Most of them are not guaranteed. They're like, you know what? Deshaun Watson is a really good quarterback for the Texans. Let's sign him. And because he probably doesn't want to come to Cleveland, we'll give him a fuck ton of money and we'll guarantee it. We'll just say, you know what? It's guaranteed. And they gave him a couple of hundred million dollars. And they're like, we're guaranteeing this money. Look at us. We finally have a quarterback. And then a huge scandal came out from like 50 women who give massages that apparently he allegedly, he sexually approached them and tried to like force them into stuff and was inappropriate with like a shitload of massage people. He would like be on the road. He would like order them like Uber Eats. He would order them to come to his hotel room. He had to have a massage all the time. So now scandal plagued, he gets suspended. Then he got injured. And then he was terrible. Then he got injured. And they've spent like $ 250 million and got nothing. So again, scary could be worse is what I'm saying. Yeah. It's called being Bobby Bonilla. Oh, you want to explain that one? No, let's take a break. Just know that the Mets are July 1st. So every July 1st, the Mets pay Bobby Bonilla another one over a million dollars to this day. And he hasn't been on the team since the 90s. So do that math. And they have to pay until 2035, I believe. And so every July 1st is Bobby Bonilla Day. Why the fuck would we do that? I can explain why that was a good move. Let's not. Do that on another podcast. I'm disgusted right now. I got to take a break. And I have something for you when we get back. You were a hiring manager at one point, right? For many, every job I ever had, I was a hiring manager. Almost every job, yes. Hold my beer. The Book and Bars Podcast with Skiri and Brody. All right, Scary. What is it? What do you got? So earlier this week, a video on TikTok went viral because a job recruiter made a statement that has the world torn apart. I wanted to get your opinion on it. We talked about it on our big show, too. I brought it to the big show, but I wanted to really bring it to you. I have not heard this stuff.

00:19:17
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.

00:19:19
Speaker 1: It's very simple. It was a recruiter on TikTok, and she said, look, you come to my job interview. I'm letting you know that if you bring an iced coffee or a coffee or whatever to the job interview with you, that is a red flag for me. You're automatically not hired. No fucking way. And the reason she gives is because she feels it's disrespectful. You're distracted. And you are nothing more than... if you want you can pull up the video there it's all over the place and we are nothing more than a stop on your day of errands we are just like a we are on your to-do list because maybe you went to go drop but what are you doing bro you're playing this over the air what's going on here Sorry, it fired by itself. Sorry about that. Keep going. So yeah, so she basically said, you know, maybe you went to go to the gym, you went to go tan, you dropped off your pets here at the grooming spot, and oh, you go to Starbucks, grab your coffee, oh, you come to the job interview... And we're just kind of like thrown in the mix. And it shows that you're not serious and that you have other priorities. Not talking about– not to be confused with the Gen Z situation where they show up late for work with a coffee in their hand. She's talking about– That happened on the morning show. Yes, it did. We're not talking about that scenario, though. I'm not going to mention any names, but someone on the morning show– it's not on the morning show anymore– showed up like 40 minutes late and they stopped in the lobby to get starbucks yeah they come up with the star right but but this is specifically saying you could show up early for the interview doesn't matter you could you you could look like you're put together you're dressed properly but if you're holding if you bring an iced coffee into the the the room with you yeah she's not hiring you so i wanted to get your thoughts on that and And does that say something about the person? Because she claims it does. She says that you're unhirable. I would look at it as a half a strike against them. It's like chewing gum in an interview. You're bringing food. But here's the thing. If you had a sandwich in your hand, is that any different? That's worse. Okay. Well, even a water bottle. Right. That was the next thing I was going to say. What about a water bottle? You're holding a water bottle. I think it should be in your backpack. Like, oh, I put my bag down. But you're holding a cup. Where are you going to put it down? On the floor? No, you're sitting there. You're sitting at the desk across from somebody who's interviewing you. Are you sipping it? Are you sipping it? Well, that's the other thing. If it's just... Because then that's a full strike. You're out. This is not a casual, like, hey, Mike. It kind of degrades the experience a little bit. It's pretty much saying, like, you got to be so fucking in, like, I'm like, I got to worry about my shirt, my tie, how I look, every word, a choice of my words. Don't bring anything. The thing is, people are saying, and of course, it's always the younger set, that are saying, ah, there's nothing wrong with it. That's not a place I want to work anyway. Then you won't. Then you won't. See, that's the problem. Yeah. And listen, we were all young at one point in our lives. When you're young, you think you make decisions, right? Thank you. We are young. You think, yeah. You think like, I don't need them. If they don't want me, I don't want them. Until you can't pay your bills.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: Right?

00:22:51
Speaker 1: Until you can't, you don't have a job. It's great to be like bigger than the man, but there's rules of society. And when all of these gen... Whatever the generation is that speaks that way. Alpha, Z, whatever it is. Pretty soon, pretty soon, Gen Alpha. When the Zs are talking about, well, you know, I want to work for Gen Zs who don't mind if I bring a nice coffee, then that's great. But the Gen Zs aren't in power in most companies. Now, if you could find a young upstart company or someone and the Gen Z person doing the hiring doesn't care that you have a coffee and they're like, oh, I have a coffee too, then that's fantastic. But at this point in time, in 2026, the odds of you walking into an interview with someone who doesn't mind your coffee are probably, now look, you could go to a, even if you went to a progressive company, I'm going to go work for Google, right? Oh, they got a game room. Everyone's having fun. They're chilling. Oh, it's great. It's chilling. They're throwing paper airplanes. It's great. They still might not hire you if you come in lackadaisical. Like you got to come in pro, right? You got to come in. But I see we're on the same side of this argument. I agree. I don't, I don't think you should bring anything but yourself and your a game. So you could be 100% hyper-focused. The coffee can wait. Don't bring it in. Yeah. Don't bring that into the thing is you are not the only person they're interviewing. They're interviewing a hundred people just like you, right? With the same level of experience, the same, you know, interest in wanting that job. And if, if there's one little thing that bothers them, they're going to go, you know what? I like those three people so much, but one of them had, was distracted by a coffee and I heard the ice shaking and I, they put it down on my desk or on my carpeting. Like, what are you going to hold it the whole time? Then you're distracted. So I would, I would do nothing. Even if you don't, again, it's not what you think is appropriate. It's what the person who's hiring you might, might, might, there might be a 10% chance that They're bothered by your iced coffee. Don't bring the iced coffee. That's it. You know, another factoid is, and again, it was some crazy-ass percentage. They say that Gen Z brings their parents to the interviews with them. Oh, I had that. Interns. I had interns bring their parents. Bring their parents. So when I was at C100 interviewing interns... sometimes the parent would be in the lobby at reception. Really? So when I went out, I went out to meet the intern. They're like, hi, this is my mom. Oh, nice to meet you, Mrs.

00:25:19
Speaker 3: Right?

00:25:19
Speaker 1: Very nice. Now, look, they drove them. Wait in the car. Don't be seen.

00:25:26
Speaker 5: Okay.

00:25:28
Speaker 1: They probably parked in a garage. There wasn't parking spaces where we worked. Go get a coffee. Go get an iced coffee. Here's the thing. They would say, Oh, my mom and I are going to do what we're in the city. We're making a day of it. We'll do some shopping. That's different. That's fine. But don't, yeah, it's fine. Don't make your mom up here. But yeah, but we had a Starbucks in the lobby. Go tell your mom to go sit in the lobby. Right now. Look, some of the moms were like, Oh my God, friendly and nice. And I have to be honest with you. There was an intern I hired because her mother was awesome.

00:26:01
Speaker 2: Right.

00:26:01
Speaker 1: Her mother was friendly. I listened to you. I love your phone tabs. She was a big fan. She wanted to meet me. I, I, I, I didn't penalize the girl because she had a great interview and I would have hired her anyway. But I do feel like it's a little awkward when the parents are there. They're saying, I don't know, this could be wrong, but they're saying over 70% of Gen Z bring their parents with them to the interview. I find that to be very high. I didn't want to really report that, but Google it for yourself. You didn't want to report that? Because I don't know if it's true. Maybe I feel like... AI just kind of glitched out on me when it gave me that answer, but I don't know where it's pulling it from, but man, that's a lot. What the fuck? Stay away. Your parents are in the lobby. That's embarrassing. Look, if you're 18, right, and this is your first internship, I get why you, you might, and you live in New Jersey or Connecticut outside. It's okay for them to drive you, but stay in the car, go somewhere else. I'll pick you up. We have phones up. Text me when you're done. Done. Don't appear in the fucking lobby in the office or anywhere near the building. Just drop and run.

00:27:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:27:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. I, I, I would not, uh, Listen, my, um, I'm surprised. You know what? You never, we never spoke about this all these years. I didn't know that parents would show up with their kids that you met. Yeah. Oh, I would say, I would say one out of eight, maybe it was, it was way one out of 10, something like that.

00:27:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:27:41
Speaker 1: Every semester there was a couple of parents and again, they were usually very friendly, usually very like, Hey, I'm here for my morals. They would talk to me. I would say hello. Of course they'd say hello. Oh, hello. You must be the proud mom. I'd make light of it, make a joke. Oh, she's awesome. You're going to love her. I'm so proud of her. I think it's a little bit different because I'm interviewing 18, 19, 20-year-olds. It was mostly the 18-year-olds. Like the juniors and the seniors didn't bring their parents, but the freshmen, like, you know, the young. Okay, Verve Pipe. Verve Pipe. As soon as I said it, I'm like, here it comes, Verve Pipe. It didn't bother me as much, but I felt like if there was a cute reason, like, oh, we're going shopping together. And I was like, oh, where are you shopping? Like if it added to their personality, like that they were doing things and they'd have content for the morning show, then I felt it was a plus, you know? But if they were nebbishy, like there was one, one kid, a male intern applicant who brought his mother. And it was because like, hi. Oh, right. And then I felt like, all right, mom, mom picked out his clothes today. I know the type. Yeah. Right. That I didn't hire him, you know, but if it's like, Oh my God. We're big fans of the show. And my daughter, it works at the radio station and she loves you guys. I'm just here. I drove her. I'm here for moral support. Have a great time. You know, if they're fun, then it's like, I don't bother me, you know, but if it was like a 25, 28 year old brings their mother, then I'm like, come on, you're an, you're an adult, but yeah, I always love the interviews. I want to work in radio. Good job. Good job. Yeah. You're going to get, yeah. First in line. Top candidate. Yeah.

00:29:38
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:29:39
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.

00:29:40
Speaker 2: Back.

00:29:40
Speaker 1: The Brooklyn boys podcast. We will be right back. I want to play audio from a commercial, but I have to ask you something first slices. I want you to think about this. If somebody walked up to you in a park, okay. You're just walking through the park. You know, you're on your, you're having a good time. You're going to get lunch. You're off Saturday in the park. Chicago? I think it was the 4th of July. Oh, okay. Yeah. Anyway, so if a stranger came up to you with a microphone and someone was filming you and said, excuse me, I'd like to download an app on your phone to see how many subscriptions you have in life, how many things you subscribe to, how many monthly payments you have. Would you allow that?

00:30:24
Speaker 2: No. Okay.

00:30:26
Speaker 1: What could they offer you? Could they give you an amount of money or something to say, like, for $ 1, 000, can I download the app? No, no, no. Is there some kind of trickery going on? What are they downloading? I'd like to know. They want to download the app that they're promoting. It's a major app. It's a well-known app. Okay. Relatively well-known. And they're like, hey, I want to put this app on your phone because I want to see if it knows more than you know about your own life. Well, do I get to download it? Or do you have to... Yeah, you get to download it. Oh, I have to hand my phone over to you, and you're going to do some shit. No, no, but they're going to... But you don't know... You've never heard of this app. Is it a legit app? Oh, you don't know?

00:31:05
Speaker 2: You just.

00:31:06
Speaker 1: No, you're just in the park. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. No.

00:31:12
Speaker 2: No.

00:31:13
Speaker 1: All right. Well, this is a commercial that's probably national. It's for an app a lot of you have probably heard of, and I'm not disparaging the app. I'm sure it's a good app. This woman walks up to a woman in the park. Now, I want to... Without being offensive... The woman who she walks up to is a larger woman. Okay. She happens to be a larger woman and she comes up to her to get her to download an app on her phone and she bribes her. See if this would work on you. Excuse me. Hey, I will buy you lunch. If you can tell me how many subscriptions you're paying for.

00:31:43
Speaker 5: I only have like three.

00:31:45
Speaker 1: Trust me. That's what everyone says. Let me, let me download rocket money on your phone and see if you're right.

00:31:49
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

00:31:50
Speaker 1: Wow, so you actually have 23, which is costing.

00:31:52
Speaker 5: You $ 550 a month.

00:31:53
Speaker 3: No, that can't be.

00:31:54
Speaker 1: I knew this would happen.

00:31:54
Speaker 3: I knew this.

00:31:55
Speaker 1: Okay, so she goes up to a large woman and says, hey, can I download this app on your phone? And she's like, what? I'll buy you lunch. Now, is that appropriate for the commercial, first of all, to go up to the large woman and bribe her with lunch? I don't think there's a correlation there. I think buying somebody lunch in exchange for something else is totally normal. So I'm going to go... That was, you know. My point is, would you let somebody download an app on your phone?

00:32:23
Speaker 2: No.

00:32:24
Speaker 1: Just for, I'll buy you lunch. Not for lunch. What does lunch mean? What does lunch mean? A hot dog in the park from the hot dog cart?

00:32:30
Speaker 3: No.

00:32:30
Speaker 1: What are you buying me? I don't need it that badly if you're going to. No.

00:32:34
Speaker 2: No.

00:32:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. So she goes, oh, look, how many subscriptions do you have? Three. She downloads the app. It's rocket money. And I'm sure they do a good job. No disparaging rocket money. And she says, oh, you have 23 subscriptions. That's costing you $ 550 a month.

00:32:49
Speaker 2: Oh my God.

00:32:49
Speaker 1: No, it's not. You're paying for things. I pay for things. It's not like things you didn't sign up for. It's not finding things you didn't. Now, look, you may have forgotten about something. You may have forgotten about, oh, I didn't realize I was paying for that website. Isn't that what they meant? That she forgot about it? All the stuff is running in the background, just auto-charging her, auto-pay shit. I'm sure it's a very helpful app. The point is, Would you just let some rando with a phone come up to you and go, hey, I got this app I want you to download. I'll buy you lunch. No, you do that in New York City, they'll punch you right in the fucking face.

00:33:28
Speaker 2: Right.

00:33:28
Speaker 1: You don't approach people like that. Yeah, run up to them with a microphone. Hey, can I see your phone? Can I download something on your phone? Get the fuck away from me. Exactly. What is this? Is this Wichita? No offense to Wichita, but... We're in small-town America. You're like, sure. What do you want to download? Okay, sure. I'm interested. Some spyware, some malware or something. Can I put some unknown program on your phone? You're going to love it. Hey, I'll buy you lunch. I'll buy you lunch. Yeah, so that's a poorly written commercial. It's not set in reality. Ugh. I feel like they... I feel like they should have chosen someone that wasn't so eager to have lunch. And they phoned it in.

00:34:10
Speaker 3: That's all.

00:34:11
Speaker 1: They phoned it in. Well, literally phoned it in. So yeah. So I just wanted to just bring that up and point that out. Now, while I have my phone plugged in, I wanted to share some recent scamboni loan calls because as I told you last week, they're getting more creative, right? Used to be, you've been approved and you were at the final step. You're one step away. Just give us a call. And then I played the one last week where she's like, hey, there's this new rule in my office. You know, I have to buy everybody lunch if you don't call me back. So here's some new ones I want to play. And listen to these scripted AI calls. And some of them have a previous message that's just ending as this one starts. So in case you were like, I wonder if this is a real person.

00:34:56
Speaker 2: No.

00:34:56
Speaker 1: And again, I don't need a loan. They keep calling. Okay, here we go.

00:35:01
Speaker 3: Jen. I can't think of this like trying on a jacket. If it doesn't fit, you hand it back. No restocking fee, Blanche lending side. And I'm the one who has to put it back on the rack. If you don't call. So no pressure. Here's the jacket and unsecured personal loan.

00:35:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:35:18
Speaker 1: So that's a, Hey, it's like a jacket. If you don't like it, you put it back. And I'm the one that has to put it back on the rack. Now here's another one. This one, this one I loved. Here we go.

00:35:30
Speaker 2: Oh, Hi, I'm the supervisor. The one they keep saying is sitting right next to them. Lisa, underwriting director of Resolve Lending. First, I know you're probably annoyed at how many times my team's called. I'd be too. That's on me, not them, and I'm sorry.

00:35:44
Speaker 1: Reading a script.

00:35:45
Speaker 2: Here's the honest version. We called because your file's actually worth it. and unsecured personal love.

00:35:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the notion. I'm the supervisor. I'm the one they say is sitting right next to me. And by the way, I also sound like I'm reading directly off a script. Well, it's AI. It's not even a person. Yeah, it's a prerecord. So it's like, hey, I'm Lee's. You know when they say my supervisor is sitting next to me? I'm the supervisor. I'm the one sitting next to them. And I'm here to harass you just as badly as them, even though I should know better because I'm their manager.

00:36:19
Speaker 2: Right.

00:36:19
Speaker 1: And you know, I know you're upset that we call so much, but it's my fault. It's on me. I'm the one telling him to call. Okay. Fake person. Why do I get none of these? These are fun. Are they? Yeah.

00:36:33
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:36:34
Speaker 4: I did something and now I have to follow through on it. Priya approval side. We have a board of the files.

00:36:41
Speaker 3: We say we'll close each day. This morning.

00:36:43
Speaker 4: I wrote yours on it out loud in front of everyone. So now I look good or I look silly and that's on you. Here's what's on it.

00:36:54
Speaker 3: An unsecured personal loan approved.

00:36:57
Speaker 1: Okay. So she's like, I wrote your name on the board and I said it out loud. So now it's on me. If you don't, if you don't call me back, I'm going to look bad. It doesn't even sound like she's talking to me. I mean, who would even fall for this? Is there anyone in America falling for this shit? Well, she didn't write my name. This is a prerecord. No, but is anyone falling for this? How about the laugh? What's the follow-up? She's laughing at the beginning after the other message ends. Here we go. Okay.

00:37:29
Speaker 3: I did something and now I have to follow through on it.

00:37:32
Speaker 1: Okay, I get this. I did something. You're never going to believe it. I did something. Who is sitting in a loan office making phone calls?

00:37:41
Speaker 2: Well, you know what?

00:37:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to write this person's name on a whiteboard so everyone can see it. Hey, everyone. I'm writing David Brody's name on the board. He's going to call me. I'm going to guilt him. He's going to call me back because he wants a $ 60, 000 unsecured loan. No, I don't. So yeah, these are, I don't, I can't stop the calls, but they're getting more and more interesting at least. And I love that there's the, the male voice was on the recording because had I answered the phone, I would have heard his voice message, but because I didn't, it was on long enough for me to hear the tail end of him into her. Cause it's just a loop. It's just an endless loop of different random calls that they can make from random numbers. I've gotten the same call from seven different phone numbers, different area codes. It's the same message. Oh my God, you never, you never. I'm the supervisor. You know, when you ask for the supervisor and they get my supervisor right next to me.

00:38:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:38:31
Speaker 1: That's me. That's me. Hi. I'm right there. Call me. I got that loan you wanted. Believe me, man. And, and there's at some point they're going to be so sophisticated that you're not even going to realize you're not talking to a human because they can go back and forth with you. And yeah, I've done that. I know.

00:38:49
Speaker 2: I know.

00:38:50
Speaker 1: I've told you. And you said, you said, am I talking to AI? Yeah. Yeah. Well, at least for the foreseeable future, we should be okay, right? Well, let's see what we've learned this week. Last week, we learned that AI is going to kill us by the end of the decade, which is only a few years away.

00:39:12
Speaker 2: Oh, God.

00:39:13
Speaker 1: I can't stand it. And then this week, if you watch the news, our president renamed it... superior intelligence and says it's the greatest thing ever. So either we're going to die or it's the greatest thing ever. But either way, they're calling me and that ain't superior. So cut it out. I'll say that I'm more of a fan of being an optimist because all the cynicism is going to kill you. I can't be a cynical bastard. It's not who I am. It's never who I was. I want to believe in the best of AI. I think AI That the very second it cures someone's cancer or has a medical fucking breakthrough and saves someone's life... Oh, yeah. People are going to love it and be like... They're going to think the good far outweighs the bad.

00:40:03
Speaker 2: Or if it.

00:40:06
Speaker 1: If something... I mean, if something happens in a positive way... And something will. I mean, the.

00:40:14
Speaker 1: And the other people who just dismiss AI and just say, ah, fuck it. Fuck AI. Those are people that just don't want to take the time to learn it. Are they ugly? Are they ugly and scary?

00:40:26
Speaker 2: No.

00:40:26
Speaker 1: Are they jealous? If you spend the time, and I'm guilty because I haven't really, I've barely scratched the surface of what AI is capable of. But if I sit there and I learn about it and learn everything it can do and how it could work for me, I probably like it a lot more than I do right now. So I could be part of the guilty, guilty as charged people too. But I think it's an amazing asset. I, here's my concern. Obviously there's a problem with the water and, and, and energy problems. Yeah. Okay. No, we understand that they need to work on that. It's the problem that the three biggest AI companies, right? The CEOs have all said, We need to slow down. We need government guardrails because the shit's starting to think on its own. Okay. Conspiracy theorist here.

00:41:13
Speaker 2: Hi.

00:41:13
Speaker 1: We were talking about this with Gandhi on the show, off the show, actually, and a bunch of us. And we kind of are in agreeance on this. Could it be that the three big ones... That hate each other. That hate each other, right. Could it be... that they want to curtail it and actually slow it down so people could learn more about it and so the other competition doesn't get a leg up on each other. Because we're in this race versus China. China's like light years ahead of us with AI. And so do you think that maybe there's... No. No.

00:42:01
Speaker 2: What?

00:42:02
Speaker 1: Why? I'll tell you why. Sometimes life is just life. Sometimes people say things because they mean it. Not everything has to be a conspiracy. What do they mean by it? What do they mean? What are they up to? These people, they've given examples of AI that, hacking companies on its own. Recently, it just hacked a company. It felt like hacking. They have started their own... They have a chat room where the AIs talk to each other. Right, right. And then they go off in their own language and then they just ignore... Right. But these are... Okay. These are... It's starting to think on its own and it started... Right. If it ever hacked the government, it could launch missiles. So there are things that AIs... can do that's dangerous, and people making billions of dollars are actually saying, you know what? Maybe we should make less billions. Maybe we shouldn't advance it so quickly. Maybe we should slow down and do more research before we make it a smarter model. I think they're just trying to catch up. I think they're just trying. Oh, they're the leaders. The leaders of AI are saying, you know what? They called each other. I see. As human beings, they hate each other. The three guys hate each other. They have bad-mouthed each other in public. They called each other and said, you know what? Seriously, we need to take a step back. We can't come out with the new iPhone of AI every year because it's becoming smarter and smarter and people are concerned legitimately. So yes, it's fun for making porn videos and graphics. My thing is follow the money. And it's only about who can make the most money and who can get ahead.

00:43:38
Speaker 2: This is why....

00:43:40
Speaker 1: This is why people don't do nice things. Because as soon as they do, people go, what are they up to? And I know Vinny's going to leave a talkback telling me about how it's obviously a conspiracy. And Liam is going to tell me AI is satanic on slice time. Like, I don't need it. I'm just giving you my opinion. And I love you, Vinny and Liam. But here's the thing. Sometimes people do the right thing. Like, we always say... We don't know what it's going to be. Everyone is... All these are hypotheses, is But don't you think the people that invented it know what's going to be? I think they're bluffing. I think that there's something there. I think either they're in cahoots with each other, they're all colluding, or.

00:44:24
Speaker 1: You know, because it's not just a big three. There are thousands of companies out there all in this quote race to have the biggest, most advanced AI out there. So by the big three saying, Oh no, we got to slow it down. We got to put regulations on it. Is them getting the leg up on everybody else so they can make the fucking money. I'm telling you, there's gotta be something to that. Okay. Okay. Because they want to be the leaders. And if other companies are outsmarting the big three, they don't want that. So they're trying to go to the government and say, whoa, slow it down, hold on, not so fast here, just so they can benefit and they can catch up. On the flip side, devil's advocate, people for years now have been saying, I don't trust billionaires. why can't we have a billionaire who does the right thing? Why, why are there no billionaires with morals? Why are there no billionaires that say, you know what? I'm going to sacrifice money and do the right thing. So instead we've got oil companies polluting the water and polluting the air, right? We have, we have major tech companies who don't, who, who, who, who, who, and we have meta that, that, that poisons the minds of young kids and, and makes it a majority. You're only proving my point. This is corporate greed at its finest.

00:45:43
Speaker 2: Right.

00:45:43
Speaker 1: So finally, finally, possibly.

00:45:46
Speaker 2: Possibly.

00:45:47
Speaker 1: The three biggest, hold on. When you're saying possibly, I'm saying possibly. Finally, we have three corporations, right? Big AI, right? Big pharma, big AI. That said, you know what? We finally are three people that realize the danger of our company. We want to do the right thing. Let me ask you a question. By the way, hold on.

00:46:06
Speaker 2: Sure.

00:46:07
Speaker 1: You're going to tell me that all of a sudden, big AI, they're all saying this because they all of a sudden, quote, care about the earth and humanity? None of these companies did in the past. You just described in your setup here the qualities and characteristics of a billionaire and billionaire behavior. So why wouldn't this continue as billionaire behavior by them bluffing and being like, Because they have an agenda. They have to have an agenda. And it's got to be driven by money.

00:46:41
Speaker 4: No.

00:46:42
Speaker 1: Okay. These men are all worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Okay. All I'm saying is if when Exxon and Sunoco and BP, when they come out and they say, we're going to invest money in cleaning up the oceans, we're going to invest money in clean oil consumption, and we're going to put money into developing cars that run free, you know, whatever. We go, oh, that's great. That's great. It's great that they care about the environment, right? Because we want them to do that. We want the oil companies to care a little bit. All I'm saying is, My first instinct is to go, you know what? AI, according to experts who aren't in those three companies, according to other people who study technology, they have said that there's a danger in AI becoming self-sufficient and could be a problem. These three CEOs have said, you know what? We see what's in the lab, right? We see what our men are working on, men and women are working on. We see what's next. We see that by making them 10% smarter, it could be a problem. So instead of like, so that maybe, maybe we've got, it's so dangerous. We've got people who actually give a shit. The world has become sold on. Maybe the world has become so cynical that everything has to be, how can we make this a conspiracy? How can I know? It's not a conspiracy. It's they're driven by another agenda. It's a conspiracy. Well, Are you a Gen Xer like me or not? I don't know, man. I've always been distrustful. I've always questioned everything. Always questioned everything. I don't trust any of these. I'm questioning your theory. I'm surprised that you just feed into what's told. Brody, you're not a surface guy. You're feeding into what these people are telling you. I'll answer that. I'll answer that. Oh, we are three. Hold on. We are three corporate billionaires with all, and we're going to come together on this issue that we are telling everybody we need to slow things down. You don't think there's something behind that veil. You don't think that there's something else at play that, that we're not, that we don't know about yet. I'm just saying, let, let, let, okay, let me answer that. Let me, let me, there's two options here. I'm not getting, I'm not getting defiant. I'm not, I'm just, I'm not getting competitive. There's two options here. We can, we can, take their word for it, right? In which case, no harm, no foul to us. And it doesn't affect me in the least if they slow it down and get government regulations, right? But there's harm in the effect of slowing it down. Still talking.

00:49:16
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.

00:49:17
Speaker 1: There's no harm scary because we're still making, we're still using AI and having a great, we're in a race against other countries on it, but continue scary. Let me ask you, I'll call it more to that point. Why would the three American AI companies, let me finish, why would the three American AI companies want to regulate themselves, have the government regulate them, where China is unregulated? Because those three companies... No, no, no, I'm still talking. Okay, continue, go ahead. Okay. Why would they want China to whoop their ass? If China outpaces them and goes to the next level... They're not going to get regulated by American regulation. Number one. Number two, if you're wrong and we don't regulate the AI, okay, nothing can happen. We could get great AI or we could be the end of civilization. So I'm going to err on the side of not ending civilization because I saw Terminator 2. I see what I'm saying. But that's fiction. You're only basing this on past fiction. Listen, we've had all of this stuff. We've had crazy technology and other ways to blow up the universe for fucking years, decades and decades, and it hasn't happened yet. This is the difference between a cynic and someone who's an optimist. The reason we haven't blown up the world yet is that nobody wants to blow each other up. Stop it. Stop it. Okay. That's why people don't drop bombs anymore. I'm saying it.

00:50:39
Speaker 2: Hold on.

00:50:40
Speaker 1: Stop. Getting out of control here. Getting out of control here. I'm just saying. If Japan had a nuclear bomb in 1945, we would not have bombed Japan. Okay, stop. Okay, enough. That's why. They didn't have one, so we dropped the bomb. What I'm saying is these three people, these three big heads of AI, the reason that they don't... Because it's about, they don't care about the race with other countries. They want to make sure that they get a leg up and squash everybody else and all the little guys. But they won't because China will destroy them. I think it should be, listen, this is open source. It's unregulated and it should continue to be unregulated. Your theory is the three biggest AI companies are worried about Mike's, hold on. They're worried about Mike's AI. They are.

00:51:21
Speaker 2: They are.

00:51:22
Speaker 1: Okay, but then why wouldn't they be worried about China? Your theory doesn't make any sense. Because that's another country and they're dealing with American AI. They care about making money for America. If we don't make a better car in America and China makes a better car, then they're going to sell those cars here eventually. So even more so why it should just be the Wild West and everybody should do what they can because we as a global unit should be We are in a race for other countries, and we can't let China beat us, and they are. So I'm with it. I'm saying push forward. Put your foot on the gas. All the creators out there, everybody, all the companies should have confidence should have equal access to building and may the best person win. No matter how dangerous it is. It should be the three big ones who are calling for the regulation. I just think they have an agenda that is driven by their own... To summarize, I'm on the side that says, good for them. Finally, a billionaire did the right thing. And Scary is on the, I don't trust anybody. Fuck them. Exactly. I don't trust it. There's got to be something else to play. There's no other reason why they would get into bed with each other. No, no, no, no, no, no. I gave you a reason why. You just don't believe it. Don't say there is no reason. Okay, I don't believe it. That's fine. You don't believe it. All right. That's fine.

00:52:47
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:52:48
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. And that it's not a problem. But AI is already doing things that are a problem.

00:52:56
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:52:57
Speaker 1: Just so you know, they've already done, it's already has a mind of its own. God willing. God willing, we will be able to get through this. That has nothing to do with AI. And AI is going to be, and AI is going in the right direction and will be used for a thousand times more good than evil. Oh, a lot of good. But again, the next level of intelligence is, Could be a problem.

00:53:21
Speaker 2: All right.

00:53:21
Speaker 1: Should we go to commercial and play a commercial for AI or what? Here's a commercial coming up. Hopefully it's not AI. That was guaranteed human right there. See, those are human voices that you just heard. Hopefully. Was it?

00:53:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:53:37
Speaker 1: All right. We're hoping so. I just, hold on. I got a, you know, AI closes sometimes if you, okay. So, not AI, YouTube. Scary, remind everybody about the $ 60 sourdough bread story. Oh, remember. Oh, yes. There's a bakery in, I guess it's Nolita or somewhere in New York City. In Manhattan. In Manhattan. Yeah. Yeah. That is called Rye, and it's a bakery, and it was founded by an Austrian... Just talk about the bread price. An Austrian guy who took his recipe and his, quote, starter for sourdough over to America, his family recipe, and is now baking this bread... How much is the bread, Gary? That has cost... $ 60 for an approximately three-pound loaf. So it's $ 60 for some rye sourdough bread. For bread. And they now sell it by the piece. So you get for like $ 10 to $ 12, you can get a slice with some schmutz on it, whatever the fuck they're putting on it. All right. Yeah. So. And it's in a bougie-looking, upscale-looking bakery in Manhattan. And you can buy a box for it to give it as a gift. The box is almost $ 500. Yeah, because it's a special box that keeps the bread fresh. He brought the recipe for the box from the old country. This has been going on two weeks. I've known about this. And although I've threatened my curiosity as to what this tastes like, And I was going to, for research on this podcast, and then maybe I would expense it somehow, I would maybe want to buy a loaf to taste to see if it's all that, if it's, you know. Or, but I have not done that yet. I have not been there yet. I'm tempted. You know he can't wait. I am. He cannot wait. Tempted.

00:55:33
Speaker 2: Squeeze.

00:55:34
Speaker 1: By the way, squeeze. Squeeze. Uh, one of our callers on slice time this past episode was three. Did you say, I can't wait. New shoes expose.

00:55:41
Speaker 2: What?

00:55:42
Speaker 1: Okay. I can't wait. Uh, said scary. He's going to buy the $ 60 sourdough bread and put his $ 40 peanut butter on it and make a hundred dollars sandwich.

00:55:52
Speaker 2: Out of it.

00:55:52
Speaker 1: That was very funny. I thought that was, that was hilarious. That was probably one of the talkbacks of the week. Yeah. So my boy Seth Myers has been on vacation for like most of the summer and he's back and he was recapping all of the stories they missed. So here he is talking about the bread last night.

00:56:10
Speaker 5: A bakery in Soho has gained attention online for offering a loaf of sourdough bread that costs $ 60, which sounds like a lot, but instead of butter, it comes with $ 52. But that was very, yeah, that is very.

00:56:31
Speaker 1: Very, very funny. Um, Yeah, it's like eight bucks for bread, that seems about right. I sent you that reel of that influencer trying it. What do you think? Yeah, hilarious. I just reposted it on Instagram, so go to at David Brody, you'll see the post. This story, since I mentioned it last week, and you heard it here first, it's blown up, and it's been national coverage because it's just so absurd. And now the lines are getting worse, and people are just trying to buy this bread. In my mind, I say, what recessions? i mean people are people are fucking paying this oh no people with money have money it's just people without money don't have money that's how life no but yeah but two hour lines whatever it is for for this fucking bread i mean all right well speaking of not having money i have a dilemma and i need all right kelly roland thank you and nelly she's got a new commercial out now and i was watching it um It was at pickleball and the commercial came on the TV on the wall. And someone was like, who's that? She's very pretty. I go, Oh, that's her name is not Beyonce. That's her name. Oh, I know. She wasn't, she was the number two. She had a couple of hits. She did. She probably, she probably has enough money to buy that sourdough bread, but the third one, maybe not get about it. No, she can't buy it.

00:57:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:57:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, actually it was two. There was three others. There was the third. Yeah. Then they replaced the third with, with the two other girls and there was four. But anyway, all right. Okay, blues traveler. But anyway. Oh, that's okay. Very good. That's a good one. All right. So here's a situation that I have. All right. Yes. Yeah. From the album upstairs at Eric's. I have a friend who had a birthday party a few weeks ago. And he's a Yankees fan. He's one of my few friends that's a Yankees fan. And so I got him, you know what a jersey is? It's the T-shirt, but it has the number and the name on the back. Yes, yes. It's a shirt, but it's a jersey, a hybrid. So it looks like a jersey, but it's a shirt. Some people call it a jert, but it's a shirt. A jert? I kind of like jert better. Yeah, all right. So I write, okay. So in ordering this, I had to order it from an online store. I ordered it, and then there was a problem with the way it charged me. So I had to void it. And then go back into the app. So I went back in the app, I searched for the player's name, and I ordered it. I was like, oh, Spencer Jones, and I ordered it. Okay. And he wears an extra large. So it comes to my house. I package it up, a nice little gift bag. And I bring it to the party and I give it to him. And I'm like, I'm very excited. Now, I had called his wife and I said, hey, what size shirt should I get him? I thought he was in between a large and an extra large. He goes, get him the extra large. Sometimes it shrinks. Get him the extra large. I said, okay, get him the extra large. So I get him the shirt. And a few days later, he sends me a text message and he says, hey, thank you again for coming to the party. And I really love the shirt, but it's too tight. It doesn't fit. Something's wrong. And I said, well, the company has free exchanges. So we can just send it back and get whatever size you want. I didn't think you wore a double XL. He goes, no, no, I don't wear a double XL. I wear a larger and extra large, but it's tiny. I said, tiny? He goes, maybe it's a kid's shirt. I said, I don't think it's a kid's shirt. So I went back and I looked at my order and I clicked on the link and I ordered him a women's extra large. Oops.

01:00:13
Speaker 3: Okay.

01:00:14
Speaker 1: So the first time I placed the order, I ordered the men's shirt, but when I had to cancel it and go back and I searched for the player's name, I assumed the first shirt that popped up would be a men's shirt, but it was a woman's shirt. I just clicked XL and I bought it again. I didn't, it was the same price. I didn't realize that I had bought the woman's shirt. So I call the company and I say, Hey, listen, I did this thing. Can I, how do I arrange for the free exchange of the shirt? Oh, don't worry about it. We pay for the shipping. Not a problem. Um, You have to buy another shirt because it wasn't a size for a size. It wasn't like a men's large for men's extra large because it's technically a different shirt. We'll still exchange it. No problem. But you need to buy a new one and have that shipped to your friend. And then we'll send you a return code. So your friend can mail that one back. And when we get that one back, we'll give you the credit for the full amount of the shirt.

01:01:05
Speaker 2: Okay.

01:01:06
Speaker 1: Okay. That makes sense. Yeah. So my guy, now I got to pay. I'm going to, the shirt was about 40 bucks. So I'm like, well, now I'm out 80 bucks until he returns the shirt to get me back the first 40. Okay? I'm like, well, all right, if that's what I got to do, but you're not charging me for shipping. Nope, not a problem. So I tell my friend what's happening. He goes, nope, not a problem. Happens all the time. I can wait a week for the shirt. No big deal. So he goes, I'll give me the return code and I'll pack up this shirt. No problem. And I'll get it back and I'll let you know when I ship it out. I said, great. And I said, do me a favor. Let me know when you ship it back. So I know when to expect my refund so that if I don't get the refund, I can call the company and be like, hey, it's been two weeks. Where's my refund? He's like, yep. As soon as I put it in the mail, I'll ship it at the UPS store and I get it right back out. Not a problem. So I ordered the new shirt. He gets the new shirt. And like a week goes by, I go, hey, did you return that shirt? And he says, oh, you know what? We haven't been able to find it. Give me a few more days. We have a housekeeper, you know, comes in like Skiri does every, you know, every two weeks. And, you know, she's not coming back for another week and a half, a week or so. When she comes back, I'll ask her where she put it. I can't find it. She must have put it somewhere, put it in a drawer. I can't find it. We had left it out on the counter to do a return. Can't find it. Like, oh, no problem. So another week goes by and I check in. I go, oh, so did you find the shirt? He says, the cleaning woman, as it turns out, spilled something on the shirt. So my wife threw it out. So I go, what did she spill on it?

01:02:46
Speaker 2: Acid?

01:02:47
Speaker 1: Like, why would he? Well, no, but it got ruined and we couldn't wash it. And even if we washed it, we couldn't return it. And it got ruined. So Scary Here is my problem I bought the shirt For him as a birthday present Okay One of two things is going to happen now I tell him don't worry about it In which case I've now paid $ 80 $ 80 for the shirt Right For a party by the way we're told don't bring gifts Lovely party And again this is an old friend I love him dearly Love him And I know, I'm sure he'll do the right thing. He's well off. He's very successful. All right, Spike Lee. Right, thank you. Are we doing movie titles now? No, we're not. But when they're obvious like that, I have to just throw that in there. Now, if he gives me the money back, okay, he has now paid for his birthday present. Yeah. And he's not going to make his housekeeper pay for it because, you know, it was an accident.

01:03:55
Speaker 2: So.

01:03:56
Speaker 1: The question is, do I say to him, and I have to tell him how much I paid for his birthday gift. Do I push the point? I would spare yourself the embarrassment. I would just suck it up. I would pay the $ 80 and just spend double and suck it up and just chalk it up as a loss. Take the L, David Brody. You never take an L. Okay, now answer that question knowing who you're talking to.

01:04:18
Speaker 2: I know.

01:04:19
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking to you, David Brody. And I know you're not going to take the L. I know you're going to make it uncomfortable for yourself and put yourself in a bigger dilemma. I would spare myself the embarrassment. Avoid. I'm avoidance. Avoid. Avoid. Next. All right. Throw some money at it. You know, you already know what I would have done. That is what I would have done. You would have sent them another 50 bucks for his housekeeper.

01:04:44
Speaker 2: So what?

01:04:44
Speaker 1: So she wouldn't be upset. Fuck it. Why not? You're 300 all light switches. But I would go in the hole for the money because I don't want the price to be revealed, number one. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it depends on what you care more about in this case. What are my options of caring? What am I caring for? Well, you're caring for the sparing embarrassment. Yeah.

01:05:11
Speaker 2: Right.

01:05:11
Speaker 1: So, so you'll have to pay. So, so, so the pro make a pros and a cons list. Part of it slices. I know slices. You're thinking now, wait a minute. The company didn't mess up because if they did, I'd have them pay for it. Brody messed up. I messed up. It's my fault, right? So the L would be, I bought the wrong shirt. It's my fault, but it's not my fault that his housekeeper spilled chemical products on the shirt. Of all the things in the house you could have spilled things on, it's the shirt that had to go back. And you can't take money out of the housekeeper. You can't call the housekeeper and say, you owe me the money. No, I'm not doing that. Accidents happen. But it's not my friend's fault, but it's his housekeeper who did it. He should take responsibility for his housekeeper. But if I didn't order the wrong shirt, this never would have happened. All right, Woody. Yeah, if I would have called the police, this would never have happened. Eh, shut up. So you're saying, all right, Slices, go on the iHeartRadio app, hit the microphone button, leave us a talkback. Do I tell him, hey, no problem, just Venmo me the money?

01:06:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:06:13
Speaker 1: Or do I say, don't worry about it? Knowing who I am, also that money's tight. I've made that very clear. Money's tight with me these days. And money is not that tight with him. He's very successful. And I'm not spending anybody else's money, but he's a very successful, wonderful person. And I know he's very generous. I know in a million years, he'd go, I'll pay for it. I know he will. I know he will. But you know what? You've already... Then he doesn't get his present. I don't know, man. You're fucked up, man. I would just be like... How am I fucked up? I haven't done anything yet. Yeah, but you already said that you fucked up on the shirt, on buying the wrong one. Correct. So I would say, is that worth a $ 40 loss in my case? And I would just... And I would... You know, again, but then you're talking to Skiri versus Brody here, and this is exactly... All right, Slices, let us know what you think. Leave us a talk back on the iRadio app, and let me know if, you know, I should just go, hey, you know, listen, the shirt was whatever it was. You do what you want. I'll leave it up to him. I don't know. Take a break, cheap ass. I went to the San Gennaro feast twice, Brody. One of my friends. One of my favorite things to do. I love that. I went with Elvis last night with his people, his friends from Ama Pizza in Hillsborough, New Jersey. Beautiful. The Conforto family. Shout out to them. Oh, that's one of his favorite places out there. Ama Pizza in Hillsborough. And I went on Monday night with my girlfriend, Robin, and her friends who were in from LA. And let me tell you, Talk about a culture shock. Taking people from Los Angeles and just dropping them square in the middle of the San Gennaro feast. They've never seen such foods. They've never smelled such smells. Walked by Lucy's sausage and pepper stand. Lucy was sitting there. Yeah, she was sitting there watching over the operation. What I'm saying is it was a slice of Americana, and we gave them their first taste of rainbow cookies before and cannolis. It was nice. And then last night with Elvis, it was just fun. being out there with uh you know some real naples napolitan people but we we went to sit down unlike unlike you real it's in other words real time so we went we went to vincent's and um i don't know if you know but the original vincent's they they make their sauce with um tomato paste instead of real crushed tomatoes so it's like that thick sweet sauce oh my god so i'm have a little heartburn here. That's why we started the podcast late. Because I'm feeling it. Don't do it. I have a little. Don't do it. Don't do it. I see you just grabbed for a bottle of something. Don't do it. It's a bottle of water.

01:09:11
Speaker 2: No.

01:09:11
Speaker 1: No. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't film this. Are you filming it? Don't you film this? I'm not filming it.

01:09:20
Speaker 2: Nope.

01:09:21
Speaker 3: Nope.

01:09:21
Speaker 1: Nobody. You're telling me about the San Gino feast. It's not a segue for you to promote water. I have heartburn. No, no. I got this bottle of water with me. No, take some Tums.

01:09:32
Speaker 2: No.

01:09:32
Speaker 1: Tums? Not doing it.

01:09:33
Speaker 2: No.

01:09:34
Speaker 1: I will take Tums. No, they're sponsored. Tums. Yes. Tums is my sponsor. They're my client. Oh, shut up. Take your Tums, everybody. And drink your life water.

01:09:48
Speaker 2: Oh, shut up! Hit the jingle!

01:09:49
Speaker 1: Hit the phone jingle! Hit the other one! For what? For the water! For Tums! Hit the jingle! Now with melatonin. You walked right into the Tums one. I didn't. Okay, that's on me. I use Tums. They should sponsor the podcast. They should. I have the Berry Ultra ones in my house. I eat them all the time. Those are the ones I took last night. With melatonin. I need one after this podcast. I stop it with the melatonin stuff. I'm saying, take them at night. Anyway, um... Anyway, we should have gone to the feast. We should have done something with them. But we did not.

01:10:31
Speaker 3: No.

01:10:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Speaking of food, at the podcast movement, Eric and I went for lunch. They give you a lunch break, right? So we go to this place called Hudson Market. Excellent, by the way. It's one of the new big things in Manhattan. Where, like, you go into a storefront, but it's like a food court inside. So it's multiple restaurants and different styles of food. So I wanted to get a gyro or a gyro, if you prefer in the Greek pronunciation. And this girl next to me is waiting to order from the window, and I say, you go first. Scary, she goes, I would like a tuna melt, please. Now, Scary, what's on a tuna melt? What makes it a tuna melt? Cheese. Melted cheese. And? And tuna. And rye bread, maybe. Right. Rye toast. To me, a tuna melt is rye. Well, yeah, okay. I prefer rye toast with tuna, tuna fish, and some melted American, maybe tuna. On a griddle. Or Swiss. On a griddle. Made like a grilled cheese style. The only three ingredients are any bread, tuna fish. Tuna and cheese. And melted cheese. Just, can I have a tuna melt, please? But no cheese. I'm dairy free. Then she just wants hot tuna. That's disgusting. That's a band, actually. Yeah. Yeah. So I said, I go, excuse me. I'm sorry. I don't know. you just said no melt. You ordered the, the, the part that makes it a melt. Just, yeah, I'm, I'm dairy free. I, so I said, okay, that's fine. I'm not judging. I'm judging a little bit. I'm judging a little bit. Now, look, if you can't eat dairy, that's fine. If you have more, you don't want to bother the cows. I get it. I have a kid. I have people in my family who are dairy free. I get it. I don't have a problem with that. I wasn't really judging her, but I was judging that you're a tuna melt. Right. Give me a tuna melt. Hold the melt. I said, you know, you're paying for the cheese, right? When you order a melt, you're paying for the cheese. Why don't you just order a scoop of tuna on a roll and ask him to heat it up? She goes, oh. So she goes, excuse me, is it less if I just want tuna on a roll? He goes, it's a dollar less. So I saved the girl a dollar. You did. It's like ordering a cheeseburger, no cheese. Why would you do that? Well, maybe she wanted it heated up. Yes, you can heat up the tuna. That's not a problem. It's the fact that she ordered the cheese and paid for the cheese and then said no cheese. I'll have a BLT, no B. Imagine you order a BLT, no B. Now that is not a sandwich, okay? Lettuce and tomatoes between bread is not a fucking sandwich. You agree with me on that, right? You should bring an LT to see LT tonight. That's right, Lawrence Taylor. Just to backtrack a second, I was telling you earlier. That's a callback. I was with Robin's friends from L.A. We went to the feast. So he told us a story at dinner, which I feel like is straight out of David Brody's playbook. Who's he? Jesse. Jesse. Jesse was a friend. Oh, he's been a good friend of mine. Anyway, Jesse's a great guy. Yeah. He said he went to a wedding recently and he was in the wedding party. How cheap can you be, David Brody? So the groom decided we're doing men's warehouse. Nothing wrong with that. You're going to like the way you look, right? Not a sponsor, by the way. You're going to like the way you look. Remember that? Men's warehouse is great. You get good bargains there. I've been to men's warehouse. I've gotten suits there. You get nine suits for 50 bucks. It's fucking awesome, right? However... he goes in for his fitting and they were like, Ooh, Oh, Oh no. Oh no. Cause he had to order a specific suit that they were all getting suit by mistake. So Jesse is a lot, not, not a larger man. He's probably my stature stature, but maybe a little, maybe a little bit more Husky or a little bigger, a little bigger, just a little more Husky, not a little more Husky. Well, let me ask you a question. If Jesse was walking through a park, And someone wanted to download an app on his phone and offer to buy a lunch when he take it. Well, like, is he that big? No, no, no, no, no. He's just a little bit slightly more bulkier than me.

01:14:42
Speaker 2: Okay.

01:14:42
Speaker 1: So he's not taking his, his, uh, his, uh, injections like you are.

01:14:45
Speaker 2: Right.

01:14:45
Speaker 1: So he's pre pre-injection scary.

01:14:47
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:14:48
Speaker 1: So, yeah. So he goes to get fitted and they're like, oh, oh no, this is not going to work. You're the last of the seven guys to come through and the suit's not going to work for you. And he's like, what are you talking about? He goes, give me the maximum you got. And they were like, you don't understand that. I guess to save money, the groom decided to buy child-sized suits, and they were all getting XL, XXL. So all the, quote, average-looking, average guys that were all in the wedding party were all... They were all at the maximum end of the spectrum for a child size suit and poor Jess and huskies. And then poor Jesse, just sorry, we got to find you something totally different. That's going to be comparable because you've tipped the scale of the husky child. So he was, so they were all getting like larger to extra large to husky child size suits and that fit them all just fine. But, But fucking Jesse got fucked because he's just a little bigger than the rest of the guys. Do you imagine that? And it was all to save a fucking penny. Because I guess kids' suits are less money. Is that right? Yeah, it's less material, I guess. So they don't spend as much on their kids, I guess. They priced the child-sized suits at a lower price point. And the group didn't want to shell out for the men's suits. Because a men's size suit is a, I guess the men's are larger and they're more money. They're more money to start with. If he needs the, and again, men's suits aren't, they don't come in small, medium, large, but let's say he needed the equivalent of an extra large men's suit. Would that be accurate? How could an extra large men's suit ever be the same size as the largest kid's size? It wouldn't be. It wouldn't. The thing is. So didn't, didn't the groom know he's got a chubby friend? He did, but I guess he didn't realize that they were going to run out of sizes. Because for him and all the rest of his buddies in the wedding party, the larger size or the husky-sized child suit was just fine for all of them. Yeah, but are the sleeve lengths enough? Apparently they are. Even if you're a husky kid, it's bigger in the chest area, like your shoulders. I think they all went together and they all realized, okay, this is great. This works for all of us. He went on another day at another time to get fitted, but wow. So he had to go with a whole other suit that kind of, they matched it as best they could, but... Talk about taking a fucking shortcut. You're getting married, bro. What are you fucking doing? You're just like, I mean, listen, excuse me, by the way, if you're a slice and you've done this to save money before, I don't know, but. But don't have a fat friend in the wedding party. A husky friend. The bridesmaids just invite, just have little boys in your wedding party, all your nephews and your cousins and the kids. Well, the bridesmaids dresses, you couldn't do that because you're a bride. It's an adult size dress, but I would say that young girls are probably closer in size to adult women. Oh, so basically the prom collection for your wedding party. That would be the equivalent of that. I would say that a prom-aged woman probably doesn't grow much more, but an 18-year-old boy, when he becomes a man, is going to be much larger and maybe taller. Again, I'm not a scientist. I don't remember the exact ages people stopped growing. All right, Coldplay. Scientist. Nice. I would imagine... that when a girl hits 16, 17... All right, John Lennon. Thank you, imagine. Other than maybe, you know, your your, your upper boob, boobery area, your height and width maybe don't change as much unless you gain weight, but men like, how could you buy boy suits? He did. That's why I'm bringing it to this podcast because it's absurd. I've never heard of such a thing. As David Brody, I give him props for the creativity on saving money. Of course. That's why I said this is a play out of David Brody's book. You would do this. No, not when it comes to the wedding. No, we didn't.

01:19:09
Speaker 2: Right.

01:19:10
Speaker 1: There's a line. There's a line. Even for David Brody, there's a line. Well, granted, I wasn't paying for the I mean, my in-laws and my parents paid. Mostly my in-laws paid and my whatever, but we weren't paying for it. So for us, it was like, Oh yeah, let's get the nice suits, you know? But if it was me paying for it, I still don't think I would order boy sizes. Like the people that were in my wedding party, one of them was like six, three, six, two. Like I wouldn't, he wouldn't have fit in a boy's little boy suit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. Destiny's child. Very good. No, no, no. Oh, my God. I'm just fucking crushing it today. Anyway. All right. That's it. This closet. Yeah.

Why did you just say this closet behind me? Why couldn't you just say I got to pick out a suit? Well, I do. I have to wear a suit and tie it to tonight. Why the closet behind you? Because that's where I store my suits. Oh, you store your suits in the guest room? It's my room. I own all the rooms here. See? That's how that works. It's still called the guest room. When you buy a house. No, no, no. Really? I had a house. You don't have a house, dude. You have an apartment. I do. You don't have a house. I have an apartment. No, you did mention the handles. I think that's my next project. Because every handle, everyone listening knows this. If you've ever been in an office building, it's those awful silver fucking handles that Come stock with the cheapest doors.

Speaker 1: I was watching. I was on TikTok and I was watching a TikTok live. And the girl who was playing the game I was watching says somebody asked her a question about buying something. And she goes, oh, my God, I haven't bought in one of those in a long time. Oh, awful. Awful. Bought in. Bought in. Yeah. The past tense of bought is bought. It's not bought in. Yeah. Have you ever heard that before? Bought in? No. Bought in. Bought in. I haven't bought in. Bought in. My favorite character on The Honeymooners. Bought in? Yeah, bought in. He says, Harvey is a silly and funny name. Oh, and you know the ultimate place for grammar police is the San Gennaro Feast. Oh, the spelling errors. I once posted like on, I guess not on Instagram. All the signs. We took like 30 signs that were awfully spelled. Tesla. Horribly spelled. All right, Tesla.

01:23:49
Speaker 3: Signs.

01:23:51
Speaker 1: Signs, signs. By the way, that's a remake. Either way. So, the one that stands out in my head is a sign at the feast in front of this rice ball place that said, we appreciate your business. And the business was spelled B-U-S-S-I-N-E-S-S. Because it's Bussin. Bussin-ness. Bussin. All right. Is that all? That's it. I think we can get out of here. Okay. Look out for our website coming in in October.
