<v Speaker 1>I'm ready. I'm ready to do that that stage dive

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>thing that into concert into the US to remember back

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.639
<v Speaker 1>in the day when it's like the girl who has

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>surgery on her arm and the uh, the doctor says

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you need surgery you're arm and she says, well, I'll

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to play the violin after surgery. He goes, yeah,

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>of course she's so good because I couldn't play it.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>She's like, oh, post pandemic, I'm gonna go back to

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>doing crowdsurfing and stage diving. Yeah, so I can't. I

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to jump back into because you know, I

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>was a big masher back in the days, remember the nineties.

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But I was, I was right there in the pit.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you a serious question. Have you

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>ever staged dove or crowdsurfed? Neither? If I'm being honest.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Obviously people know what sarcasm is on this podcast. Yes,

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>you know that, they could tell I was being sarcastic,

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>but no, I could tell I just haven't. Yes, I

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>have crowdsurfed and I've mashed. I have not staged dove,

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>but I have caught people stage diving onto me like

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I was in. Yes, I've actually been. I've actually been

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the holder upper of a crowd surfer back in the day.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>So when I crowd surfed, I didn't jump onto the top.

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I had people lift me up and then after like

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of bumping, I got the hell off,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>like I was like, I gotta get down. Yeah, but

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I was hardcore, you know hard rock concerts and and

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 1>heavy metal concerts, and I mean thrash metal back in

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the day, you know Brodie even. But even those concerts,

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they they were they were known for that. But then

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.239
<v Speaker 1>there were the other concerts, like when I went to

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>see the Red Hot Chili Peppers where I was literally

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Red Hot Chili Peppers, yes, and Nine Inch Nails two

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>is to stand out concerts. I saw Nine Inch Nails

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>in Poughkeepsie and they're some auditorium. It was crazy in

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the nine in the mid nineties. And and and the Red

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Hot Chili Peppers. Red Hot Chili Peppers were somewhere in midtown.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Both venues were general admission, standing only, and as you

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>would imagine at the time of the height of their

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, success or their popularity with I mean both concerts.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I started like kind of near the front, with like

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe like seven eight people like towards the front, and

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>then as soon as the lights went down and and

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>then the music started, I got fucking pushed back all

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the way to the fucking soundboard like faster than I could,

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, fucking breathe. I was like, what is going on?

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And I literally go to oh no, oh no, because

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>what happens is people start pushing and pushing at that moment,

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and then the thrust of the crowd because you know, backwards,

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>everyone's going you know, you could just you can't even

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and then the mosh pit breaks out in the middle area.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>The middle front. So I wasn't even getting near there.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I had to I had to be pushed all the

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>way to the back. At any point, did you go

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>oh and run? Yes? Make that sound well? I did? Well? Well,

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>my friends, it was always four of us that went

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to the show. We always bought bought tickets and four

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and literally by the time there ten minutes in and

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the lights are out and the contests in full throttle,

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>all four of us are separated from each other and

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>making new friends. And that's what that's what happened at

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>both those shows. Those those two specifically stand out in

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>my head. What about you? I was always in the front,

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>like in uh concerts. In Brooklyn, there was a venue

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>called Lamore. It was a medium sized club, but they

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>had all the biggest names of hard rock and heavy

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>metal and you can go see them in a small club.

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Iron Maiden played this club. It's only like a couple

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of hundred people, like but the cool like band. Big

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>bands would go there and maybe in band so we

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>would always be like up on the barricade or on

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the stage, but there was no like like today, people

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>get crushed to death. One concept I went to like

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in retrospect, had I gone, like last week, I'd be

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>dead now. It was some kind of it was okay,

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So it was there was three or four bands, but

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I remember that it was Guns and Roses opening four.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>It was Guns and Roses, Deep Purple, and Arroo Smith.

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I think so you guys listening might know all of

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>them or some of those bands I just mentioned. And

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>so Guns and Roses opened the show. So this was

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.359
<v Speaker 1>when they were on their way up, so probably the

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>album was out. They were a big hit, but they

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>weren't like the headliner, and Arrow Smith of course was bigger,

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>and Deep Purple was bigger. So we got there. When

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I say we, I went with three guys, Jimmy, Scott,

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and I remember the other guy's name many many more Jack. Yeah.

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>So Jimmy and the other guy were like six five six,

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like well over six ft, and they worked out big guys,

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and Scott was about six ft, big guy. And so

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>when we got we got there really early, really early,

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and got up on the barricade. We were right right

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 1>off the center of the stage, first row Giants Stadium,

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>which is a football stadium, because you didn't know it

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>was a football stadium. It's gone now, and so you've

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>got I don't a hundred thousand people there, but we're

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on the floor general mission, and we're on the barricade,

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>on the barricad, I'm leaning on the barricade, which is

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, ten ft from the stage. Well, once the

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>show started, the force of the crowd started pushing. And

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>luckily because I'm I'm not a big guy, I'm not

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>a muscular guy, and five ten if you know, in

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the right pair of sneakers, and they locked arms with me.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>I may have told this story on the podcast before,

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but they locked arms with me and one guy, one

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>guy got behind me, uh like, you know, just to

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>block the crowd because they saw that I was, you know,

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the smallest of the four and uh it was like

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and and so anyone pushed from behind the big guy

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>with the he had a mullet and he like a

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>foo man chew like a like like a goatee sort

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of thing. He turned around like like like Chewbacca. He

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>was like, don't push me, man, and so he like

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the people behind him were no longer pushing him, but

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the people behind them were pushing. So then it got

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to the point where the people behind us told the

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>people behind them stop pushing that, you know, so it

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>was like a change reaction. Eventually the pushing stopped, but

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>it didn't help. I think Guns and Roses went on

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>like an hour and a half late roughly, and it's

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>like his eight hour concerts, So for the opening act

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to go on an hour and a half late, people

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>would not happen. But yeah, I thought I was gonna die.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, and these are doing we're describing conscerts

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>in them in the mid nineties. Here I'm assuming for

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you as well. But imagine, imagine, imagine if we had

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>cell phones back then the way we do now. I

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think there would be mosh pits. I don't think

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>they were would have ever been invented because my theory

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>is that people are too busy in their phones and

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>filming the show that nobody could be bothered with, you

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.919
<v Speaker 1>know you push. Do mosh pits even exist anymore? Because

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>people are as they have to have their phone in

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 1>their hands. See the kind of person that mashes the

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>people that I was friends with that hardcore mashed. They

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>went home bloody and bruised. They're not the type to

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>like hold up a camera and film. They're not. They're

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>there for the emotion and the raw energy and the

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>power of the show. You think that still exists in concerts?

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Oh yeah, because I know people have still

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>go to concerts in Mash. I don't. I don't think

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it happens that like Master Square Garden. I get it

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>depends again we're talking about like we're talking about No,

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they would never permit it there. Well, you would never

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>see a show smaller. Uh if you go see um

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Harry Styles type, you know, act Olivia Rodrigo, no one's

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be mahing a Driver's not. But if you if

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.240

<v Speaker 1>seven bands from the early two thousand's, we're gonna call

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>them emo and late nineties right, also the late nineties,

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>early mid two thousands, but that's the that's the sweet

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>spot is the mid two thousands. So my oldest daughter

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>already emailed me and said because she's away at school

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.760

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to me getting them. So it's a lot of goth

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and alt and emo stuff. It's as boys like girls.

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 1>It's love them taking back Sunday Dashboard Confessional three h

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.680

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>anybody with a guitar from and maybe have wore skinny

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>jeans and guyliner. Yes they're they're uh so sixties seven

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of these groups bands, but my, my, my larger point

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>is that's a festival ground and there's gonna be you know,

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>there's three stages and it's from eleven and eleven to

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>eleven PM. I don't how they're gonna fit all that

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>music in one in one show. I might have talked

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>about this in the last podcast, but what what what

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I what I'm getting at is we as people in

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>our age. The people that that targets now are people

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>in their thirties, mainly twenties and thirties, and you know,

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and and us if we wanted to go right. So

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>those kids are those people that are gonna be at

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that show are gonna a lot more calm down now

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>watching it than they were when they were originally watching

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>those groups when they were in their teens. Maybe maybe

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>they'll have a you know, uh, I don't see a

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>pit break now, white claw in their hand. But but

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that, because there are people who

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>are let's say they're let's say they're twenty five now,

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>because they may not have been growing. They may not

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>have been seven teen when that music came out, but

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>they they were maybe three four, and they grew up

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>with that knowledge of that music, and so to them

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's still it's still maybe their favorite music. Yeah,

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>your favorite music. But yeah, but before you, let's face it,

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the older you get, the less you want to get

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>hurt and fall, so you you're less approach. At this

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>point in my life, I get hurt and fall. We're

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not going to a convert exactly. You don't need that

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>speak speaking of old music because we're killing this thing,

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I think. But I wanted to shout out I don't

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 1>know her real name, because well I do, but I

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>don't have in front of me and underscore k underscore

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 1>t a woman. Uh he noticed that I quoted a

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>law from a Metallica song last week, but she credited

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 1>it as the band that Metallica covered, which is Misfits,

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>which means she's old school, old school and knew that.

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>So it's I was quoting the Metallica cover version and

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>she was quoting the original Misfits version, which is probably

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>again around the time of we're talking about early nineties, Misfits,

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>mid eighties whatever was done. Don't tweet me. So I

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted to give her credit for that because she got

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the reference. It was, uh, you said, I got something

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to say, and I said, I got I killed Joe

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Baby today, which is a you know, it's an old boat.

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.480

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>memory that you shared with your friends? Scary Jones? I

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>posted the video of your belly dancer, Um, your belly

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>dancer birthday party when they put you in a chair

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and had belly dancer dancing around. It was always I

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>tried to forget that. So that was a surprise forty

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>birthday for me. And when I had a lot of

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>people there, including the entire morning show, you were there,

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>god video and sharl Crowley was to having a great picture.

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Cheryl was there and I will tell you you know,

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend planned it. Uh that was the odd part.

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So she planned it with the no she planned the

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>party with the help of what is it sex, sex

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>on the way Dave. Yeah, well that's right. Davis is

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in charge of entertain Dave. Dave brought the DJ and

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and then decided to somehow or for whatever, I don't

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>know what possessed him to do this, to get a

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 1>belly dancer for me. And I'm telling you he was awkward.

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I was uncomfortable as the day is long. You are

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 1>not good in those kind of cities. Because imagine, all

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, now my friends who didn't even know

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>they were they were surprised by the belly dancer act.

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, you're having a good time, you're drinking,

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 1>you're having an awesome time. It's a little a little

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>classy place. Everybody's dressed up a little bit, and all

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, it's like, oh, scary, sit down on

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 1>this chair in the middle of the room and we're

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>just gonna shine a light on you. And all of

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, this weird music comes on and this woman

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>enters the room, and now it's got to be awkward

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 1>for the people watching because they didn't expect it. They

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't sign up for that, and I certainly didn't. And

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone's all eyes on me, and she's doing weird things

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 1>with me. Oh my god, Brodie, I hated Right now,

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting I'm getting chills thinking about it. I've tried

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>to block that out of my memory. The time they

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.640
<v Speaker 1>got me a belly dancer, the worst experience in my life. Yeah,

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I appreciate Dave. I mean I told him

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to make him feel bad, but I

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta try to find the video. You don't, don't You

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 1>were just sitting there like you're gonna poop in the chair.

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>He was so like, Oh, first of all, they were

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>two of me because I was I was right before

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.560

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 1>even Oh god, I can't, you can't know. I just

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's really weird. It's a it's awkward

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and bizarre to bring a belly dancer or a stripper

0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>into a room for a bachelor party and and you're

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the only and everyone's watching you, watching them and you

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's like weird. It's bizarre. It's not something

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that I wish upon anyone. Yeah, I've been to bachelor

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 1>was mixed company. It wasn't even a bachelor party. It

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like all guys. It was athday party. The couples,

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.200

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the best of me. But but you feel like you

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.199
<v Speaker 1>want to help out, and then you're engaging in a

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>real conversation and next thing you know, you're sending them

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.719
<v Speaker 1>your your social Security number. And how deep into this

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>conversation did you go? Oh? I didn't. Did you know?

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, No, this is no. This is an

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.159
<v Speaker 1>example I was gonna give from our own company. This

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 1>text message you've got. We've got to read this. I

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>was gonna read this on the podcast Get to the Minute.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:56.880
<v Speaker 1>So let me just follow up at this. If you're

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to scam me and try to convince me

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.439
<v Speaker 1>I met you at a party like even if you

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 1>were gonna like try, why would you go with the

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>name Raven? Wouldn't I remember meeting a girl named Raven?

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that a common name in any town USA? Were

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>like like like, uh, like if you were Mary or

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>or Rebecca or or uh, you know, like Danielle, like

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>something a little more common might go. Did I meet

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a Danielle? Maybe I met a day Raven. Wouldn't I

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>remember meeting Raven? And why would you use my name?

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>The odds of me being Jeremiah right that that's It's

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 1>so you're hoping. Now somebody's gonna say, well, maybe they

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>just got the wrong number. No, this is clearly a scam.

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like, if you're gonna scam, you'd be like, hey, baby,

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.159
<v Speaker 1>this is Maria. You know we met at a party,

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>but you were like, jeremiahs this is Raven. We met

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 1>talking at Raven's cocktail. It was there. Now here's the question,

0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 1>was there a second Raven? Or is she talking about

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 1>her stuff in the third person? That's a great question. Well,

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they put too much thought in that.

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I did. They were hoping to get you, they were

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna have then I got your moment um you know,

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 1>there was this email they sent down the company in

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>our company. That's that's saying that that our ceo, uh

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.480

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>this is a real life example. They say, he's texting

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a producer on the Elvis Show. He's texting one of us.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the if you look at the email, they say, here's

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 1>an example of what's going around our company. And they

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>spreadshot at the text message. If you could find it,

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.120
<v Speaker 1>that would be great. I don't have it, but anyway,

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the paraphrasing the person the employee they targeted. Employee appears

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to get a text message from our ceo and then

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 1>he said and then she says, oh, I think you're

0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the wrong the wrong, Jennifer, you know whatever. And then

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 1>he comes back and says, no, it's the right person.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a meeting right now. I need you to

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 1>help me out, and I need you to get me

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.439
<v Speaker 1>these Apple gift cards or something like that. And you know,

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the dialogue happens for a little while until until finally

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.400
<v Speaker 1>she stops answer because she knows it's a scam. But

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>could you imagine that that people are doing these scams now,

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.879
<v Speaker 1>They're they're targeting companies. They're getting the names of the

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>people who are in charge, and then somehow getting into

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the company directories and text messaging some of the people

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the employees, pretending to be the CEO or the marketing

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>director or whatever, and then trying to say, oh, I'm

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>in a meeting right now, can you go buy me

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>these Amazon gift cards and give me the code numbers.

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Some who knows if people will fall for it? I mean,

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I smell a rat. I don't trust anyone as far

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 1>as I could throw him for Brooklyn. But well, people

0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 1>believe there's always somebody, always somebody hold a text Oh

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:03.400
<v Speaker 1>here it is pretending to be employees, some thinking Bob

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Pittman employees to convince you to go out and buy

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 1>gift cards for Bob since he's tied up in a meeting.

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah exactly, Okay, it says, Hi, Jennifer, I'm in a

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 1>conference right now. So now only a Jennifer could respond, uh,

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>if you They targeted Jennifer. They knew that that was

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>her cell phone number. Oh oh yeah, it's your phone.

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>So here's the thing. I don't know if the scale

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 1>this can't be real because that says he's a real

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 1>life example. But they showed Jennifer's phone number. It shows

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a screenshot. Hi, Bob, this is Jennifer blah blah blah.

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Of course that our last name. You may haven't been

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>mistaken for another Jennifer you are trying to reach. Thanks here, Yes,

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I have an urgent task for you. Are you available?

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>And she wrote back happy to help Bob, And You're like, okay,

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>thanks for your response, I'm on a conference. You confirm

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>if you can get Apple gift cards from the nere

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 1>A store. To you, what the fuck exactly that that

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>really happened. Bob has a personal assistant who she'd be

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 1>the only person he would ask to go get gift cards.

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.919
<v Speaker 1>He wouldn't randomly emailed people in the company who have

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>no like, there's no reason. Let's at the stage. There's

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:12.159
<v Speaker 1>nine fifty I art media stations around the country have

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>people working him and Jennifer. He randomly texted wherever she is.

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, Bob is in New York. She's in like Clean, Texas.

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's say getting this on a plane. I'm coming randomly

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the CEO randomly in the conference. I'm gonna randomly take

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 1>any one of our employees because I need them to

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 1>do right. And so first she goes, I didn't get

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>them the wrong Jennifer. He's like, no, I got the

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 1>right Jennifer. He's like, okay. So whatever instinct she had

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to think she was the wrong, Jennifer suddenly went away.

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>The minute went not get through Jennifer. She's like, oh,

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>how did I help? I think she probably told her friends.

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>The CEO texted me exactly, how does he even know

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>who I am? I don't guy to get him these

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 1>gift cards. This is my chance. I'm going to place

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly if I if I come through in the clutch

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>for Bob, who, by the way, it is in a

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>meeting right now and he can't get he can't go

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.439
<v Speaker 1>to the store himself, because because the CEO of our

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 1>company would actually go to a storm by gift cards himself.

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And I know you can buy them online? Do I know?

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>You can? I know? But she's got to be like,

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, he must have heard an air check

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>with me on the radio and two in the morning

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa. The scenario is preposterous. It's just it doesn't

0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>make sense for for us. I got. I got a

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>d M from someone I had put. I had posted

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>about my friend being on television, so unrelated to her response, Hey,

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big fan, send me your cash app tag.

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to send your money. I'm a fan. Is

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that I don't know? So obviously a scam. It's from

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a middle aged woman with blonde hair who doesn't follow

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 1>me or anyone I know. Has one post or zero posts?

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Three posts? Three? The big thing? Ya's have the three?

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Always have three posts. Instagram has been around two thousand eleven.

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:59.440

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the Morning Show I wanted to read I have a

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>second to do that. Yeah, let's do it. Okay. So

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they start off, uh, well, there's a bunch of different

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>angles here. One of them wrote, Friday is my wife

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and eyes anniversary and eyes like so just grammar police,

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it should be my wife and my because you'd say

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it's my anniversary. It's my wife and my anniversary. But eyes,

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that's not a thing. Um so um. We did a

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 1>conversation on the Morning show Today's what Thursday on yesterday

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it was yesterday, and we were talking about

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>um in vitro fertilization, I think, sperm donor, sperm donning,

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>donating sperm and naturally it's a serious conversation. But you're

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna joke about sperm donations because we're all trying to

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:14.680
<v Speaker 1>be entertaining and funny and world dopey. Yeah, well we're

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:17.719
<v Speaker 1>we're we're children, all right, And now we weren't. We

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>weren't joking about in vitro because that's important and that's

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>how some people start families and it's a miracle for

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 1>some people. No joke there. We were making jokes about

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>other things and a woman called up and she actually

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 1>had gotten a sperm donor and we were joking around

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>with her and she was joking and whatever. So somebody

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>texted in. I'm pretty sure it was a woman, uh

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>from from other things. She had texted in and she

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>saw him to say. She said, that's offensive. I'm offended. Uh,

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that's terrible that you joked about that woman in her

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>in vitro. So I wrote back, Um, we weren't joking

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>about her process, and the woman on the air was laughing.

0:31:56.760 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>She thought it was funny. We weren't trying to be offensive.

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 1>She wasn't offended, so you know, don't, don't you know?

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>So she wrote back, you can't tell people what is

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>or isn't offensive. So I wrote back, well, you just

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 1>did exactly right. So she's saying, well, you just did

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it was offensive. So I said, well it's not offensive,

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and she goes, you can't tell me what what is

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>it is offensive? Ago, you just told us what's offensive exactly,

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.239
<v Speaker 1>So you pretty much just answered your own question, right.

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 1>She didn't write I'm offended. She wrote back, that's offensive. Well,

0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>yes to you. You're offended by it? Yeah right, okay's

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 1>um speaking of offended, Elvis is doing commercials for a

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>food company, and I guess they highlighted different food every week.

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 1>So in the new commercial, because I don't remember the client,

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the new commercial says, um, hey and check out our

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 1>new meat loaf. It's tender and juicy and whatever. So

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days ago, somebody texted in the quick

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's I'm not gonna send the name of the company.

0:32:56.240 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>The meat loaf commercial you played is insensitive. Um it

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 1>says there's a new meat loafing. Elvis says there's a

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 1>new meat loaf in town, and he just passed away.

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, So Elvis can't talk about meat loaf. No,

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 1>he cannot. What's the weather forecast? Scary? Oh, I see snow.

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>We got snowflakes in the studio in my apartment. Now

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:25.080
<v Speaker 1>coming in out of the ceiling. Here comes the snow.

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>You fucking snowflakes. I cannot stand triggered snowflakes. So here's

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>another one we got today, Really, question Mark, that was

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a horrible commercial. A new meat loaf in town? Too soon?

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Elvis too soon, too soon. So here's what I'm thinking.

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Nobody played poker because you might get a full house,

0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's offensive to Bob Saget. So don't talk about

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:53.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about So don't have an apple brown betty for

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>dessert because that might remind you. And she just died

0:33:56.880 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's offensive. And also, don't play don't play John

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Madden football because well, you know John Madden. Don't say

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>don't say that's a good match or go on match

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.360
<v Speaker 1>dot com because that reminds people a match game. And

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Louis Anderson just died and he was the host. That's offensive. Jesus,

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you can't do a commercial about meat love. And by

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the way, he wrote meat loaf just died and spelled

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it as one word lower case. Meat loaf was two words,

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:25.479
<v Speaker 1>both capital letters. He was meat loaf. So anyway, yeah,

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>she's offended by the commercial because we're selling meat loaf coincidentally,

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.839
<v Speaker 1>and meat loaf died and it was a coincidence. It's

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 1>a coincidence. Oh my god, we didn't he didn't create that,

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, they didn't say, you know what, meat loaf died.

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's put meat loaf on special, right, let's let's sell

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 1>meat loaf. And I got one more person who was

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously triggered, and I wanted. I wanted to read this

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 1>because you know how I often talk in such a

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:54.720
<v Speaker 1>good mood until this. I'm sorry, I can't stand people

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:59.319
<v Speaker 1>like this. What's wrong with society? Well? Okay, well this

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>person tell him joke. Even this person told me what

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that I'm I'm what's wrong with society? They weren't even joking.

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.319
<v Speaker 1>I want to point out before I read this that

0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:13.239
<v Speaker 1>I have the utmost respect for skilled labor. Okay, I

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:16.280
<v Speaker 1>am jealous because I'm going to talk about a plumber

0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>at some point, but I want to talk about electricians

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:22.319
<v Speaker 1>because they do dangerous work. They do work you should

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:25.239
<v Speaker 1>probably not try to do by yourself. And I don't

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have a problem paying them a large hourly rate. I'm

0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 1>not crazy hourly rate, but they deserve to make a

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>decent living. They do a good living. Okay, However, some electricians,

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and not only I don't want to single electricians, Some

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>people who do trade professionally will charge you a hundred

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars to enter your house, whether you hire

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>them or not. Some of them will then apply that

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred towards the repair, which is fine, but some of

0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 1>them will not. They'll say, if you hire me, it's

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 1>a hundred plus the first hour, and if you don't

0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:05.800
<v Speaker 1>hire me, it's a hundred twenty five dollars. So you

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 1>almost obligated to hire them. So I look, if you

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 1>like that, if that's if your guy does that, your

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 1>woman does that, that's fine. I'm not I don't have

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the financial means to pay a hundred dollars for nothing

0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:18.600
<v Speaker 1>if I don't use them. Right, if they come to

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 1>my house and say that job is gonna be two

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars and I don't have the two thousand dollars,

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm now out the d right. So by not being rich,

0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm out more money. So on my town Facebook page,

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I posted and the people are usually very very helpful,

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and they were. I said, I'm looking for a licensed

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>electrician that you have personally used, that doesn't charge a

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.399
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars or more just to walk in the door.

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you set the parameters rather clearly, right,

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:50.520
<v Speaker 1>So a bunch of people, one guy wrote, all people

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 1>charge a fee to walk in, but some will apply

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it to the work. I know that, but not they

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 1>don't all because I had an electrician in my house

0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago, and he didn't charge me

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 1>for come in. He charged me. People speak in absolutes

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 1>or by their own experience. These are the experiences I've had,

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 1>so it must be everybody, right, everybody so university. This

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>guy came to my house, he charged me eighty nine

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and he only charged me eighty nine dollars for the

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 1>one hour at diet. But then he fell off a

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>ladder last week and he's he's he can't work for

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:25.840
<v Speaker 1>he said, three weeks, so I can't use him, and

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I need an electrician this week. So a bunch of

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:31.439
<v Speaker 1>people gave me the names of people they recommended who

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.200
<v Speaker 1>don't who They said, don't charge your fee, and they're

0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>very happy they're working with. Here's what one guy wrote, scary,

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I you may want to have my music ready for this.

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So again I asked for help. I asked for specific help,

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want opinions, I just want help, he wrote.

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You need to recognize that these people are entrepreneurs. They

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:52.399
<v Speaker 1>don't have a nine to five job and get paid

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 1>regardless of how productive they were that day. With a

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 1>normal salary. They would go broke driving around doing free

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.919
<v Speaker 1>inspections and not get paid. This type of mentality needs

0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:05.319
<v Speaker 1>to change. You're taking a stand on your post, right,

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:08.919
<v Speaker 1>F you? Ray? F you? So basically what I wrote

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>back to him was, you know who else needs to

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:13.359
<v Speaker 1>to earn? Earn money and be careful with the money

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:17.080
<v Speaker 1>these days? Me and other homeowners. I'm entitled to want

0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to save money. Now, the the tradesmen and women who

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>charge that fee, God bless you. If if you, if

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:25.799
<v Speaker 1>you make money and you have a big house, I

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 1>want you to make money. But if I have options

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and there are people that don't charge that fee, I

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>would prefer to go with them because the job I

0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:36.160
<v Speaker 1>have is a small job. If I had a five

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollar rewiring of my house, I would pay for

0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the best guy or woman, And if it costs me

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a hundred dollars to get that best person, I would

0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>do it because over five thousand is not a big deal.

0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 1>But if I need a small hundred dollar job, right

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and I have to pay a hundred to pay the hundred,

0:38:55.160 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that seems silly. What I don't need? Ray? Ray? Is

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you telling me? So? I went back to Ray. My

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:04.920
<v Speaker 1>first thing was, Hey, Ray, I have an idea that's great,

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that's morally wonderful. You can pay my hundred dollar fee

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll hire whoever you recommend. How about that, Ray,

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess Ray makes enough money. Ray didn't spy the way.

0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Ray didn't say he was a tradesman. He didn't say

0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I am a tradesman. He said, you have to This

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 1>mentality needs to change. Really, really, I gotta worry about

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>most Most tradesmen make more than me, and God bless them,

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 1>they should. They have a skill. Skill. I talk out

0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 1>my ask for a living. I would love to have

0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a skill. Believe me that I could do things, fix

0:39:34.160 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 1>things I have. I have transmitted my family. You Ray,

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>fuck you. It's a shame about Ray type of no.

0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Look again, if you're listening to what you're a tradesman,

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 1>God bless you. What other people like it? Well? No,

0:39:48.640 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 1>well uh, nobody responded to him. Everybody else recommended, and

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:54.399
<v Speaker 1>no one question me. They're all like, yeah, this guy's great.

0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't charge your fee. I totally understand. Again, if it

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.040
<v Speaker 1>was a huge job, I would pay the fee in

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a huge but but but again, if the guy did

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 1>fall off the ladder, I was very happy with the

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 1>guy who came. He did a great job, but something

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:10.319
<v Speaker 1>else in my house needed to be repaired. I guess

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the cold weather or something. Whatever the case is, something

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:14.880
<v Speaker 1>something small needs to be repaired. Pretty soon. Your blood

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:17.839
<v Speaker 1>pressure will have to be repaired. Yeah, it's funked up.

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It's funked up, man. Yeah. So so then, oh and

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:24.879
<v Speaker 1>somebody else rope back, Oh you should use Mike blah

0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. So I already know Mike is one of

0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the people I called. Mike wanted to charge me a

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:31.399
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy five dollars just to come in my house.

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>So I wrote back, have you used Mike? And he

0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't charge you a fee? So you're up back. No,

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I've never used Mike. Hear good things. My post specifically

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:46.640
<v Speaker 1>said that you have used personally. Again, I but you

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>know what, I understand I shouldn't ask for help. But

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what, eight out of ten people give me

0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 1>great advice. So I called one of the recommendations. The

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 1>guy came today. The guy came to my house and

0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 1>he says, listen, it's one of you know. The first

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:06.279
<v Speaker 1>hour is a hundred and seven dollars plus the hourly rate.

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:08.799
<v Speaker 1>But after that it's just the holy rate, but it's

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>a free estimate. He came to the house, he looked around,

0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>he said, and if we come back to the house

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and we can't fix the problem, you don't pay it.

0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:21.239
<v Speaker 1>You don't pay for it. If we come and do

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the inspection and we feel it's too big for you

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:25.840
<v Speaker 1>to do it's more than you want to spend, we

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 1>won't charge you. That's a good company. And their reviews

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:32.680
<v Speaker 1>are off the charts, great reviews on every review site.

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:36.760
<v Speaker 1>All the people on Facebook love them. That's a great company.

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a company that you go, you know what, I

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>will trust them to come in my house because if

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.080
<v Speaker 1>they don't do a good job and they don't fix

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it right, they go, oh, we can't find the problem

0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 1>without opening up the wall, they're not gonna pay me,

0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:48.879
<v Speaker 1>charge me unless I want them to open up the wall.

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a that's a class act. So f you ray

0:41:53.680 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 1>take a deep breath, breathe, breathe in podcast back and

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I love that jingle is one of my favorites. I

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:12.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta do some new ones, I think for the I

0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know if her breeze is saying, but that's I

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>love that one. Yes, so I want to buy a scooter. Okay, scooter,

0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what. You're gonna tell me? What about the

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.239
<v Speaker 1>scooter thing in a minute. But you mentioned something on

0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the Monday fifteen minute Morning Show. Well you said I've

0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:35.560
<v Speaker 1>never ridden a skateboard. You said you never wrote a skateboard.

0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>You can't. I mean I've attempted when I was a kid,

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and I never got past a couple of pushes, pushes,

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and then I tried to lift both my feet off

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the ground to put on the board. I didn't last

0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:47.880
<v Speaker 1>more than you can't do seconds. I used to. I

0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:49.719
<v Speaker 1>used to skateboard. But when I say skateboard, I mean

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:52.239
<v Speaker 1>like I I would skateboard up and down the block

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I lived on. But I didn't do anything other than

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 1>go straight, like I get occasional like it left the

0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 1>front and then like turn like and and it tilted.

0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:02.440
<v Speaker 1>You could turn back, but I could like lift the

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 1>front foot up and put it back down and like

0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:06.560
<v Speaker 1>make left and rights. But I couldn't do a lot.

0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 1>And I don't skateboard now really, But I remember you

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:14.360
<v Speaker 1>on this scooter, the scooter you got client, that was

0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a really cool scooter. Well that's the one that is

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>up for sale right now. I don't. I don't know

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:22.880
<v Speaker 1>why you still have it because I'm staring able scooter,

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.440
<v Speaker 1>staring it. Oh oh my god, it's so yeah. It

0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 1>is a very it's very well built, and it's it's

0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:31.560
<v Speaker 1>actually very high end because you stood on it and

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.520
<v Speaker 1>it didn't look like you wobbled, like it was stirred.

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:36.759
<v Speaker 1>It has amazing It has real suspension. It has like

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.360
<v Speaker 1>suspension that you're getting like a motorcycle. This is not

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a commercial, by the way, No, no, no, no, we're

0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:43.879
<v Speaker 1>not trying to sell um. But I I don't know

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the first place to sell it because you know, you

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.759
<v Speaker 1>put list, Facebook and eBay. Okay, here's the problem with

0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the three. First of all, Craigslist seems logical. But then

0:43:54.120 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you got weirdos showing up to your house. And I

0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:58.360
<v Speaker 1>don't need people coming to my apartment. I don't you

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.319
<v Speaker 1>have a dorman apartment. You could meet them in a

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:04.239
<v Speaker 1>doormanned lobby in public, and this way you're safe. So

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you talked to them on the phone. First, you talked

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:10.319
<v Speaker 1>to them on the phone, you go, hey, I want

0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:12.959
<v Speaker 1>to buy your scooter. You know. Then then sling Blade

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:14.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't come to your house to buy the scooter. I've

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 1>never sold any you know, I've never sold anything on

0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Craigslist like that ever, like a face to face transaction,

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and I have many times, and I would say one

0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:23.759
<v Speaker 1>out of a hundred knows like recognizes me when they

0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:25.879
<v Speaker 1>get there. But most of the time it's just people.

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:28.160
<v Speaker 1>But what if the guy, here's what I think, somebody's

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna jump on the scooter and just screwed away with

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it and not paying me my money. See, that's the

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:34.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of ship that I that goes through my head.

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>But it actually it's no, you get the money first.

0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I sold a mattress and a box spring last week.

0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:44.800
<v Speaker 1>So we are scooter we're talking about. This isn't just

0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 1>VA Yeah, pretty much. So I I sold a mattress

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:54.120
<v Speaker 1>in a box spring, no, no backstory needed, but it was.

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:57.720
<v Speaker 1>It was used lightly. It was in a guest bedroom

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:00.080
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't need it anymore. We would change in

0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the room over and I thought, you know what, I

0:45:02.640 --> 0:45:04.399
<v Speaker 1>don't want to throw it out because there are people

0:45:04.400 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in the world that could really use a nice pillow top,

0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:10.399
<v Speaker 1>plush mattress that we had always had a mattress cover on.

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:13.319
<v Speaker 1>So really nobody slept on the mattress and in a

0:45:13.320 --> 0:45:15.480
<v Speaker 1>sheet on top of the mattress cover. And you know what,

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:17.879
<v Speaker 1>if I put it up for sale and somebody wants

0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:19.759
<v Speaker 1>to buy it, I'm not going to question their needs,

0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:22.600
<v Speaker 1>their financial status. If I could do good, it's better

0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>than throwing it out, if I could make So I

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:29.960
<v Speaker 1>put it up for and the mattress was like fos.

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it was asserta it was really nice when when

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:35.759
<v Speaker 1>it was purchased and Simmons asserta it was asserta. I

0:45:35.760 --> 0:45:42.319
<v Speaker 1>just so. Uh. So the person calls me and says, oh,

0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to come. My father is gonna bring a

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.560
<v Speaker 1>truck and we're gonna help you. And and he's gonna

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.560
<v Speaker 1>help me. He's gotta pick up truck. And yeah, I said, great,

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>text me when you're when you're twenty minutes away from

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.879
<v Speaker 1>my house, I give it the address and I say,

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it's such and such on this street and it's down

0:45:59.800 --> 0:46:01.399
<v Speaker 1>on this side of the street, and with the color

0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:05.400
<v Speaker 1>of my house. Idiot proof, right, idiot proof directions that

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I copy and paste whenever someone buy something for me.

0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:12.480
<v Speaker 1>So uh when I knew they were twenty minutes away,

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I took the box spring and mattress from the garage

0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>because I had moved it down to the garage and

0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I put it on my driveway leaning up against my

0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 1>driveway door, one of my driveway doors, right actually in

0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the two and the headboard. They wanted

0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the headboard also, which the headboard was from my childhood bedroom.

0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 1>That's how old the headboard was. It was like a

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:35.479
<v Speaker 1>dark brown old headboard from when I was a kid.

0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:38.680
<v Speaker 1>So the headboard, the mattress in the box bring leaning

0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>against my house on the driveway. Now, I don't have

0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a very long driveway. It's two cars long, right, so

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:46.919
<v Speaker 1>you call it, yes, that's right. I could. I could

0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:50.280
<v Speaker 1>ask my own driveway, so you could fit four cars

0:46:50.320 --> 0:46:52.759
<v Speaker 1>on the driveway right front back, front back, so it's

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:54.560
<v Speaker 1>not like I have like a long driveaway. You couldn't

0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>see the house. So they drive. I look out the window.

0:46:57.560 --> 0:47:00.839
<v Speaker 1>They drive by the house and they text me and

0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I live on a dead end street, so there's only

0:47:02.920 --> 0:47:04.399
<v Speaker 1>so far on the street they could go. They went

0:47:04.440 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 1>past my house, so I said, she goes, we we

0:47:07.560 --> 0:47:10.720
<v Speaker 1>don't see your house. I said, I told you the number,

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:13.800
<v Speaker 1>your four houses past it. I told you the color.

0:47:14.120 --> 0:47:15.560
<v Speaker 1>You're in front of the house of a different color,

0:47:15.800 --> 0:47:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and more importantly, there's a mattress box springing headboard on

0:47:19.360 --> 0:47:22.520
<v Speaker 1>my driveway standing up against the house. Yeah, it's not

0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it's process of elimination here. So she will you eliminate

0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:27.840
<v Speaker 1>all the houses that don't have a mattress box springing

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:31.000
<v Speaker 1>headboard in front of it and with my number on it,

0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:33.560
<v Speaker 1>which you can clearly see from the street. So she

0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:37.919
<v Speaker 1>she texts back, she goes, oh, I see it now. Yeah,

0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:40.359
<v Speaker 1>it's the house, it's the color, it's the only Yeah.

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 1>But you see, you're going you go through these these

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 1>trials and tribulations with these people. I don't want that

0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:49.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of hassle. I don't know, but you know, and

0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I can't do eBay by the way, because people are like, oh,

0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>because the shipping fees. I mean, it's so freaking now

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you do local pickup only this way you get a

0:47:56.400 --> 0:48:00.239
<v Speaker 1>verified person picking it up and then the Facebook group

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I've never tried. Oh yeah, well that's why you had

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to me sell that blender for you. Ye. Well, anyway,

0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:07.600
<v Speaker 1>which I did. I have a small apartment and it's

0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.480
<v Speaker 1>getting cluttered by the day, like I gotta stop. And

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I've lived here for like close to fifteen years now,

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just seeing, I'm seeing. I feel like I'm

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:18.799
<v Speaker 1>being closed in on. I don't want to be ever

0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:21.520
<v Speaker 1>be a hoarder. I do throw things away when it's time. Yeah,

0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I have some sentimental belongings. But I just I see

0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:27.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff around my

0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:32.160
<v Speaker 1>apartment that just gets you know, is being collected, and

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I just can't wrap my head around ever moving out

0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:38.440
<v Speaker 1>of here and having to pack ale this stuff up.

0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So I need to keep like a just a certain

0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:42.880
<v Speaker 1>amount of things in my house and I can't go

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:46.560
<v Speaker 1>above that number. Is I know, it's bizarre. It is bizarre. Look,

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:49.279
<v Speaker 1>you're very neat. Did we talk about this on air

0:48:49.360 --> 0:48:51.480
<v Speaker 1>or not? I don't remember. But your closet, you have

0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:53.680
<v Speaker 1>your we did talk about this, You have your clothes,

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:57.839
<v Speaker 1>all space to hanger, space to part evenly like you're

0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:01.279
<v Speaker 1>so anal about your a couple of weeks ago. Yeah yeah,

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:03.319
<v Speaker 1>so like I know you're a need freak. You have

0:49:03.360 --> 0:49:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a listen, you make a decent living. You do okay,

0:49:06.560 --> 0:49:09.440
<v Speaker 1>not like Electrician money, but you you do okay. And

0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:13.520
<v Speaker 1>again I love electricians joking, uh, but I don't understand.

0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I know you like it's convenient like the location. You

0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:21.160
<v Speaker 1>have a one bedroom apartment, right, you could easily, even

0:49:21.160 --> 0:49:23.120
<v Speaker 1>if you don't really want to move, move into the

0:49:23.120 --> 0:49:27.240
<v Speaker 1>two bedroom. Yeah, and and make an office for yourself

0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:30.640
<v Speaker 1>or a game room. You you're not planning on having kids, right,

0:49:30.680 --> 0:49:32.920
<v Speaker 1>so you don't need a big house, and you don't

0:49:32.920 --> 0:49:36.360
<v Speaker 1>want to fix things. You're not a fixer, So you

0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:39.080
<v Speaker 1>could move into a townhouse where people they fix things

0:49:39.120 --> 0:49:41.000
<v Speaker 1>for you. They take care of your law on your

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:42.879
<v Speaker 1>little lawn in the front. You can have a grill

0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:44.839
<v Speaker 1>in the back if you wanted you I could see

0:49:44.880 --> 0:49:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it as a townhouse. Guys like yeah, because it's like

0:49:47.960 --> 0:49:50.840
<v Speaker 1>an apartment, but it's big and spacious. You can have

0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:53.640
<v Speaker 1>people over, you know, you could have you have you

0:49:53.680 --> 0:49:56.480
<v Speaker 1>have a driveway, you could write, you could go right

0:49:56.480 --> 0:49:58.560
<v Speaker 1>for you could motion in your own house. You can

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 1>go right from the car and right into your garage,

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:03.759
<v Speaker 1>right into your house. You you do all right? You

0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.080
<v Speaker 1>won that lawsuit when they put a building in front

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of your building and blocked your view, right, like, you

0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:11.360
<v Speaker 1>could move into I'm telling you you, but I would

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:15.399
<v Speaker 1>make the townhouse year for Scary Jones. I would get

0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a townhouse if I were you. You know why I

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 1>have this guy have his I have his defeats to attitude. Dude.

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to my buddy Will about this and

0:50:23.160 --> 0:50:26.719
<v Speaker 1>that is I because I'm here and I'm settled. I

0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:29.600
<v Speaker 1>have a fear of moving because I don't want to

0:50:29.640 --> 0:50:32.799
<v Speaker 1>pack things up. All I could think about a guy.

0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:34.600
<v Speaker 1>All I could think about is having to pack up

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 1>this entire apartment. And I'm like, oh my god, it's

0:50:37.040 --> 0:50:39.879
<v Speaker 1>it's it's so much work, it's so much energy. If

0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't care about money, and then will pack everything

0:50:42.080 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 1>for you. And now they'll pack my my personal belongings. Yeah,

0:50:46.160 --> 0:50:48.360
<v Speaker 1>or yes, or you know what you can do? Because

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:52.680
<v Speaker 1>my my mom moved to Jersey. I I hired someone

0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:55.319
<v Speaker 1>that someone else had worked with. It was a woman

0:50:55.320 --> 0:50:58.200
<v Speaker 1>who did for extra money. She would come to your

0:50:58.239 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 1>house and she had worked with older people before, so

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:02.919
<v Speaker 1>I and I checked out her references and someone else

0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:05.440
<v Speaker 1>had hired her, they knew her. She came to the

0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:09.840
<v Speaker 1>house and helped my mom when I wasn't there pre pack. Wow,

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:11.960
<v Speaker 1>like sat with her and said, Okay, what what on

0:51:12.000 --> 0:51:13.960
<v Speaker 1>your table do you want to pack? What in your

0:51:14.040 --> 0:51:15.799
<v Speaker 1>night table do you want to pack? What in your

0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, like, what dishes. Do you want to pack?

0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:21.799
<v Speaker 1>But I also have loads loads of electronic equipment here right,

0:51:21.960 --> 0:51:24.719
<v Speaker 1>and and if they're all like the spaghetti spaghetti of

0:51:24.760 --> 0:51:27.319
<v Speaker 1>wires back there behind night, then you hire a guy

0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:29.440
<v Speaker 1>or a woman to come to your house and you

0:51:29.480 --> 0:51:31.839
<v Speaker 1>sit there and watch them do it, and you said

0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:34.440
<v Speaker 1>this way, and or you hire the movers with insurance,

0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and I feel bad. I'm not that that I'm not

0:51:36.120 --> 0:51:38.680
<v Speaker 1>helping them out. Why you go to a restaurant, do

0:51:38.680 --> 0:51:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you feel bad that the guys are bringing food to

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:42.160
<v Speaker 1>your table? A cook? And I would feel all I

0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:44.360
<v Speaker 1>feel weird. I'm sitting here on my couch on the phone,

0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>dicking around doing the podcast, and there's there's someone in

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:50.239
<v Speaker 1>there with, you know, hanging out in my my Credenzita

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.279
<v Speaker 1>like loading CDs up, and I feel like I want

0:51:53.280 --> 0:51:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to pitch in the way. Isn't Credenza the name of

0:51:55.080 --> 0:52:00.720
<v Speaker 1>your other co host? Last name? She's packed up? She's

0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:05.160
<v Speaker 1>she's packed at brack is packed. But you could be

0:52:05.239 --> 0:52:09.799
<v Speaker 1>like hanging up your shirts or something. Hello, uh is she?

0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:14.520
<v Speaker 1>But now here's the question. Is she spyramid rhino worthy? Oh?

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely yes, shows a beautiful woman and talented. I have

0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:21.319
<v Speaker 1>to say bright. Oh my god, yea intelligent and a

0:52:21.320 --> 0:52:25.160
<v Speaker 1>good mom too, tremendous um yeah so so I whatever.

0:52:25.360 --> 0:52:27.640
<v Speaker 1>But but anyway, that is my beauty to move that

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:30.319
<v Speaker 1>should be your goal. That's my biggest pain point is

0:52:30.320 --> 0:52:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is this apartment it's that? Was it Joe's apartment? Or

0:52:34.880 --> 0:52:38.000
<v Speaker 1>this old house? That's me? Can I ask you a

0:52:38.040 --> 0:52:41.560
<v Speaker 1>personal question? Oh no, no, You're gonna change the topic

0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 1>because I because I feel like there's other reasons. Oh no, no, no, no,

0:52:46.200 --> 0:52:47.919
<v Speaker 1>no, no no, no, no, no, no, no no, there's nothing

0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:51.200
<v Speaker 1>else keeping me back. I just a question. I just no,

0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I just I just don't want the other The other

0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:56.239
<v Speaker 1>problem that I have is I don't want to move

0:52:56.320 --> 0:53:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to the suburbs. Okay, so suburbs there a town homes

0:53:00.200 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the nearly where you live. I'm a city guy. I

0:53:02.920 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 1>need to be where I am. This is a perfect

0:53:04.600 --> 0:53:09.759
<v Speaker 1>lotion spot. So then get a bigger department in your building.

0:53:10.280 --> 0:53:12.400
<v Speaker 1>If I moved it, that that's a lateral move to me.

0:53:12.680 --> 0:53:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I need to make I need to move out out,

0:53:14.440 --> 0:53:16.239
<v Speaker 1>like I need to get out of this building. Okay,

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the end of this neighborhood. Well, I just said that,

0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you said no, But that's a problem. Because because I

0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I need to be in this neighborhood

0:53:24.000 --> 0:53:26.680
<v Speaker 1>though or I don't know. I'm all kinds of like to.

0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:28.560
<v Speaker 1>But you're not in this neighborhood. You have ten minutes

0:53:28.600 --> 0:53:30.520
<v Speaker 1>away from the neighborood you want to be in, and

0:53:30.560 --> 0:53:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you drive, you drive to the other neighborhood. So I

0:53:33.000 --> 0:53:34.879
<v Speaker 1>want to do I want to one week, I want

0:53:34.880 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to redo my bathroom. We've talked about that. Yeah, I

0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:38.759
<v Speaker 1>don't really do the bathroom slices. I need you to

0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:42.919
<v Speaker 1>tweet Scary Tom, it's townhouse time, townhouse time, townhouse time

0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to a parody for you know, it's Scary needs to

0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:49.200
<v Speaker 1>move out and get another floor for him. I don't

0:53:49.239 --> 0:53:52.400
<v Speaker 1>want them staircase time. I don't want the staircase. I

0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:54.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to break in my ship. You know people

0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:57.680
<v Speaker 1>who have a Staircase's tweet Scary let him know he

0:53:57.719 --> 0:54:00.680
<v Speaker 1>needs a staircase, a staircase. Don't you said I got

0:54:00.680 --> 0:54:02.759
<v Speaker 1>a room but for Christmas? And then you have one room.

0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You have the one room. It takes, it takes, it

0:54:06.120 --> 0:54:09.040
<v Speaker 1>takes about thirty minutes to like the whole fucking place,

0:54:09.600 --> 0:54:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and and and it's like it bumps into things wherever

0:54:12.040 --> 0:54:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it goes. It doesn't do a great job because you

0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:17.000
<v Speaker 1>make a room by mini for you. They should like

0:54:17.040 --> 0:54:19.399
<v Speaker 1>a hockey puck size because it's so clutter. It goes

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:22.680
<v Speaker 1>around my apartment so cluttered. Oh my god, you should

0:54:22.680 --> 0:54:24.759
<v Speaker 1>see the floor. The floor space in my bedroom is

0:54:24.760 --> 0:54:27.640

0:56:06.920 --> 0:56:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Van Dyke if you're not familiar, was in his nineties.

0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Now he's been in movies since as long as all

0:56:12.320 --> 0:56:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of us are alive. Uh, he was, I mean he

0:56:16.040 --> 0:56:18.479
<v Speaker 1>was in Mary Poppins. He's one of the few people

0:56:18.480 --> 0:56:20.680
<v Speaker 1>still alive from that movie. Other than the kids and

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:22.880
<v Speaker 1>God bless him, he's been a night in the museum

0:56:22.920 --> 0:56:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and he's been in a thousands of movies. But also

0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:28.920
<v Speaker 1>in the fifties, in the late fifties, he had a

0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:31.080
<v Speaker 1>show called Believe It or Not, The Dick Vandyke Show,

0:56:31.760 --> 0:56:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh My God, Brodie, are you sorry? Mary? Mary Tyler More,

0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Mary Tyler Moore And if you watched one division on

0:56:40.239 --> 0:56:43.359
<v Speaker 1>the Disney Plus the first few episodes were the first

0:56:43.360 --> 0:56:46.640
<v Speaker 1>episode or two were based on spoofing the Dick Vandyke

0:56:46.680 --> 0:56:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Show Black and White Show where he was a comedy

0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:52.560
<v Speaker 1>writer for a variety show and he came home to

0:56:52.640 --> 0:56:55.759
<v Speaker 1>his his wife Mary Tyler Moore to be beautiful. Also

0:56:56.000 --> 0:57:03.000
<v Speaker 1>legendary comedian, comic actress who went on a woman's Liberation woman. Uh,

0:57:03.600 --> 0:57:07.080
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of groundbreaking roles. Anyway, Dick Vandyke's a legend.

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:09.080
<v Speaker 1>That show is an all time classic. That changed this

0:57:09.320 --> 0:57:11.760
<v Speaker 1>that that Mary tell a More show later in the seventies.

0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:13.480
<v Speaker 1>You have broke a lot of ground for women, is

0:57:13.520 --> 0:57:15.520
<v Speaker 1>what I think. Yes, yes, it was. It was a

0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:18.480
<v Speaker 1>game changer. So about two months ago, maybe a couple

0:57:18.520 --> 0:57:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of months ago, they colorized an episode of The Dick

0:57:22.480 --> 0:57:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Vandyke Show. It may have been a couple episodes. And

0:57:25.280 --> 0:57:26.720
<v Speaker 1>as you as you say this, by the way, it's

0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:30.800
<v Speaker 1>funny that you say this, because Saturday night I watched

0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:33.240
<v Speaker 1>my very first episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show.

0:57:33.280 --> 0:57:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, I knew about it, I knew of his

0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:39.000
<v Speaker 1>exist distance, but I was just doing absolutely nothing. I'm like,

0:57:39.000 --> 0:57:41.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what, and I want an episode came on

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:43.919
<v Speaker 1>me TV, which is one of the cable channels, and

0:57:44.120 --> 0:57:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, like you said, caveman channels. And I

0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 1>watched this. I watched a full episode. I've never seen

0:57:51.280 --> 0:57:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a complete episode. I've seen snippets, I've never seen a

0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:55.720
<v Speaker 1>full episode. So I watched the whole thing. I laughed

0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:58.600
<v Speaker 1>my ass off and and I talked about it today

0:57:59.080 --> 0:58:01.200
<v Speaker 1>in the in the what we were doing commercials, but

0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you weren't. You weren't in the room. I'm not in

0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the zoom room on the air, on the air, right.

0:58:05.240 --> 0:58:07.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's just so funny you bring up Dick Van Dyke, right,

0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Dick Van Dyke, very funny show, even for now, like

0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:13.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the most of the humor translates his physical

0:58:13.040 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 1>comedy is Pratt falls all worth watching? If you want

0:58:16.280 --> 0:58:20.320
<v Speaker 1>an old school show is I want to say, Dick

0:58:20.400 --> 0:58:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Vandyke was way before my time, before you got any ideas.

0:58:23.000 --> 0:58:25.080
<v Speaker 1>But I grew up when it was on reruns and

0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I watched it, and as a lover of comedy, it's classic.

0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:31.320
<v Speaker 1>So to watch it colorized when you only know it

0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:34.040
<v Speaker 1>in black and white, you only know that living room

0:58:34.040 --> 0:58:35.840
<v Speaker 1>in black and white, you only know their outfits in

0:58:35.880 --> 0:58:38.160
<v Speaker 1>black and white. So my memories of those episodes, when

0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you watch it in color, you assume they knew the colors.

0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:42.840
<v Speaker 1>They must have spoken as someone on the show and

0:58:42.840 --> 0:58:45.240
<v Speaker 1>said what like or tried to get close, but they

0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:48.360
<v Speaker 1>did the shading. I mean, the technology now to colorized

0:58:48.400 --> 0:58:52.280
<v Speaker 1>programs is unbelievable. So I watched this special Dick Van

0:58:52.320 --> 0:58:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Dyke episode and one of the episodes they played was

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Mary is pregnant and she's about to need to go

0:58:57.360 --> 0:58:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital. So the whole episode is himp parano,

0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:02.800
<v Speaker 1>every noise. He's like, let's go to hospital. The bagg

0:59:02.840 --> 0:59:05.960
<v Speaker 1>is pat He's ready to go. So she finally convinces

0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:08.680
<v Speaker 1>him to go to work. I'm fine. Rob, his name

0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:11.680
<v Speaker 1>is Rob Petrie in the show, Please go to work.

0:59:11.760 --> 0:59:14.800
<v Speaker 1>You're going you're going crazy, you're sleeping in the same clothes,

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:18.200
<v Speaker 1>You're you're you're tired, you're agitated. Go to work. So

0:59:18.280 --> 0:59:20.280
<v Speaker 1>he goes to work finally, and he hasn't slept in days,

0:59:20.280 --> 0:59:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and he gets the call that uh, she's ready to

0:59:23.840 --> 0:59:27.080
<v Speaker 1>have the baby after many false alarms, and so he

0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, he runs out without pants on. It's a

0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:34.280
<v Speaker 1>long story, and he rushes home and so, um, he

0:59:34.320 --> 0:59:36.840
<v Speaker 1>calls for a cab on his on his way out

0:59:36.840 --> 0:59:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of the office. You don't have cell phone. They call

0:59:38.960 --> 0:59:41.160
<v Speaker 1>for a cab to get to the house. So in

0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:43.400
<v Speaker 1>case God forbid, he has a car accident or something

0:59:43.400 --> 0:59:45.480
<v Speaker 1>happens on the way home, Mary will have a way

0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to get to the hospital. Okay, So on his way home,

0:59:48.880 --> 0:59:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the cab is on his way to the house, the

0:59:50.760 --> 0:59:53.480
<v Speaker 1>cab driver knocks on the door where the wife Mary

0:59:53.520 --> 0:59:56.480
<v Speaker 1>her name is Mary on the show, and uh she says, oh,

0:59:56.520 --> 0:59:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't call a cab. My husband must have called you.

0:59:59.520 --> 1:00:02.120
<v Speaker 1>He should be home any minute, and she says, can

1:00:02.160 --> 1:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you wait outside right, So, not knowing when the husband

1:00:06.760 --> 1:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>is home, she tells a cab driver, who by the way,

1:00:09.400 --> 1:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>gets paid by the minute. Right when the need is

1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>running this is an uber. He says, no problem, I'll

1:00:15.360 --> 1:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>be out in my car. Take your time. What what

1:00:19.680 --> 1:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the guy's gonna sit there and definitely while he waits. Okay.

1:00:24.120 --> 1:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>So then a couple of minutes later, you hear a

1:00:26.240 --> 1:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>car flying down the street off camera and you heard crash.

1:00:31.960 --> 1:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Dick Van Dyke crashed into the back of the cab,

1:00:34.920 --> 1:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>pushing the cab into the back of the car in

1:00:36.920 --> 1:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>front of it. Okay, he rushes in the house right

1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and the cab driver comes in and says, um, you're

1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be able to leave. I can't drive you

1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital because all of our cars are locked

1:00:50.160 --> 1:00:54.919
<v Speaker 1>together by fenders. So Rob's car, Dick Vandyke's car has

1:00:54.960 --> 1:00:57.919
<v Speaker 1>locked into the cab driver's fender and pushed his car

1:00:57.960 --> 1:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>into all the car in front of him, and now

1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>all three cause a lock together. The guy says, So

1:01:03.160 --> 1:01:04.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna be able to drive you. He says,

1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>but if you want, I can call my company and

1:01:06.560 --> 1:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>have him send another car right away. Not a problem. So,

1:01:11.440 --> 1:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>first of all, he just wrecked the guy's cab. The

1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>cab is now trapped between two other cars, and the

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>guy who said he's willing to wait says, no problem,

1:01:21.760 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll call him a cab company. Haven't send another car.

1:01:24.560 --> 1:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>So not only that the car the camp company after

1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>having their their cab demolished. Right, it's gonna go, I

1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>will send another car. Not a problem. Right in what

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>world does that happen today? In black and white sitcoms?

1:01:38.560 --> 1:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>So the guys willing to wait outside and he's like, oh,

1:01:40.800 --> 1:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you just crashed my car. He doesn't come in and

1:01:42.920 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>go you motherfucker you because it's that real life. When

1:01:47.120 --> 1:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>was it every? When were these shows ever real life? There?

1:01:49.200 --> 1:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I wasn't alive in the fifties, So

1:01:51.080 --> 1:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you if if small town because they

1:01:53.600 --> 1:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>live in New Rochelle, which is um about an hour

1:01:57.800 --> 1:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>northeast of Manhattan. Take the train strouss Chester County. It's

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a suburban. It's it's it's where Uh it's uh were scary,

1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>would never want to live stop it. I've been the

1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Newer show before. You don't live in suburbs. I beautiful neighborhood.

1:02:14.640 --> 1:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>It's very city like in New ro show. Yeah, so

1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you think that's it. No, No, the laundry guy comes

1:02:19.560 --> 1:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>because this is back in the day when you send

1:02:20.960 --> 1:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>your laundry out and the laundry truck would come in

1:02:23.240 --> 1:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and pick up your laundry. He walks in and they say, hey, uh,

1:02:29.640 --> 1:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>can you drive us to the hospital because she's about

1:02:31.760 --> 1:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to have a baby, and uh he says, uh yeah,

1:02:36.560 --> 1:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll drive you in the laundry truck, no problem. And

1:02:39.120 --> 1:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the cab driver says, yeah, go ahead, don't worry about

1:02:41.640 --> 1:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>my cab. Go ahead and have a baby. I'll be fine.

1:02:44.080 --> 1:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>So the cab drivers like, oh, I don't know now

1:02:45.880 --> 1:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>my company doesn't have my company. I'm still I'm trying

1:02:49.720 --> 1:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to dig into this here and understand what what is

1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>it that you're flabbergasted about. I'm flabbergasted that the cab

1:02:56.840 --> 1:02:59.439
<v Speaker 1>driver wasn't upset that his car got crashed. He wasn't

1:02:59.520 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>upset to it outside. And then when they when he

1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:04.640
<v Speaker 1>sends another car to come pick them up, right, the

1:03:04.760 --> 1:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>laundry guy says, I'll drive you to the hospital, no

1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>problem in his laundry truck. When people are waiting for

1:03:09.160 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>their laundry, He's like that, funk, I'll drive This is

1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>what the audience does. It's called the suspension of disbelief. Yes,

1:03:14.240 --> 1:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>And then the cam driver goes don't you worry about me?

1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Mr and Mrs. You're not You're not going to have

1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that baby. Of course. Well, because we once we get

1:03:21.160 --> 1:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>into a show or a movie or whatever we are,

1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>we are able to just immerse ourselves into it and

1:03:26.720 --> 1:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>just suspend the imagined or not. You can't take everything literally.

1:03:32.640 --> 1:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Imagine imagine watching Curb your Enthusiasm or any other show.

1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>You imagine the cam driving on What the fuck? Now,

1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna use my cam company? Just gonna leave? Now,

1:03:41.120 --> 1:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I got I lose my fan. Okay, let me let

1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this is it plausible? Though? Then maybe

1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the cab driver felt felt for Mary because oh my god,

1:03:52.000 --> 1:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>she's about to have a baby. Let's really let's really

1:03:54.400 --> 1:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>postpone this and put this, uh, you know, deal with

1:03:58.240 --> 1:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this after you go to the hospital. Let's get you

1:04:01.040 --> 1:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital. I mean, maybe some people in real

1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>life might actually respond that way and not worry so

1:04:06.640 --> 1:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>much about the car. Maybe because the cab driver doesn't

1:04:09.240 --> 1:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>own the car, the cab company does, so what But

1:04:13.360 --> 1:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it was like he had no care. He was the

1:04:14.840 --> 1:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>happiest man on the planet. Oh yeah, the cars. I've

1:04:18.960 --> 1:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>seen examples of the that weirdness in shows where it's like,

1:04:23.520 --> 1:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>come on, they wouldn't respond that way modern day shows,

1:04:27.440 --> 1:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>really I have, I have seen that, but maybe on

1:04:31.040 --> 1:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>full House. Oh sorry, I can't talk about full House.

1:04:32.960 --> 1:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Too soon, too soon, Bertie, too soon, berdie. Oh my god,

1:04:36.440 --> 1:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Another deep breath. I got a lot

1:04:38.960 --> 1:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>of deep breaths. All right, what are you doing? What

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>are you doing this weekend? By the way, did you

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>see this? You see this, this cop out of a

1:04:44.960 --> 1:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>weather forecast around here. Oh? Yeah, the latest was twenty

1:04:50.880 --> 1:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>or zero that no, no, I want to highlight that.

1:04:53.520 --> 1:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I know we don't really talk about weather on this podcast,

1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>which you're listening to anywhere USA at any time in

1:04:59.560 --> 1:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the future. But but the forecast was this morning. They said, oh,

1:05:05.080 --> 1:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>this this northeaster or this cyclone bomb as they call it,

1:05:08.880 --> 1:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>bomb cycle, the bomb cyclone, whatever is it goes, is

1:05:12.680 --> 1:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna go in a zig zag pattern. So it's all

1:05:15.840 --> 1:05:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I could picture is this bomb cyclone like going zigzag,

1:05:19.560 --> 1:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>zig zag, zigzag. And then they say, so, we don't

1:05:22.200 --> 1:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>know if we're gonna get twenty inches or zero, but

1:05:25.400 --> 1:05:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it's probably not gonna be anywhere in between. It's gonna

1:05:27.440 --> 1:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>We're either gonna get dumped on or not even a

1:05:30.080 --> 1:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Tracey snow and and that is the forecast for the

1:05:32.720 --> 1:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Tri state area right now. And I've never heard such

1:05:34.720 --> 1:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a forecast. Well this morning, this morning, the forecast during

1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the show, which Elvis talked about I believe he said, uh,

1:05:42.960 --> 1:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>it could be four to twelve inches was the report

1:05:45.240 --> 1:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>as of this morning. Do you know how many people

1:05:49.480 --> 1:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>texted in yeah, story of my life. They promise you

1:05:53.080 --> 1:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>eight to twelve and you get four inches. Oh they're

1:05:55.320 --> 1:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>doing a dick joke. Yeah, yeah, But and the types

1:06:00.600 --> 1:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in this text in this dick joke, you're like, yeah,

1:06:03.560 --> 1:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>don't you just hate when they promise you if you

1:06:06.040 --> 1:06:07.400

1:06:07.440 --> 1:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>get four because said I bought your dinner. Stop measuring.

1:06:11.000 --> 1:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>When they're when they're listening in their car, they have

1:06:13.880 --> 1:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>to think they're the only one because they they're just

1:06:15.880 --> 1:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>they're just like, you know what, I'm gonna text in

1:06:17.400 --> 1:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>this funny joke. They're not thinking or caring if other

1:06:20.560 --> 1:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>people are texting in the same It's fine. I like,

1:06:22.800 --> 1:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I love the humor. I just I was amazed by

1:06:24.880 --> 1:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>how many people all texted in the same dick joke.

1:06:28.080 --> 1:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Can I can I get serious for a second. Just

1:06:31.040 --> 1:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>it's unlike me to get serious serious earlier on. I

1:06:33.480 --> 1:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>mean when did I get serious? Oh no, no, no,

1:06:36.320 --> 1:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>before when we're talking about you're forgotten, oh your bachelor,

1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:44.280
<v Speaker 1>your Bachelorrette party, birthday with the strippers, the belly dancers,

1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, can I just say, I don't

1:06:47.160 --> 1:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>want to offend, but one of I think one of

1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the belly dancers at your party many years ago may

1:06:52.920 --> 1:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>have been a last minute fill in. Yeah, that's the

1:06:56.080 --> 1:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>one thing I left out. Yeah. I got the feeling like,

1:07:00.080 --> 1:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>which one of these things is not like the other?

1:07:02.840 --> 1:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>She didn't she didn't really fit the outfit and she

1:07:05.760 --> 1:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't really belly. She kind of I mean, she just

1:07:09.160 --> 1:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't good. I think she was like, you know, Mary,

1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I need you to fill inform Oh, Raven, Hey, Raven,

1:07:15.360 --> 1:07:17.080

<v Speaker 1>met at Raven's cocktail party, Raven, I need you to

1:07:19.960 --> 1:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>come and fill in at the last minute. I don't

1:07:21.680 --> 1:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>think she was a professional. The other two are, but

1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>there was one there that do you remember what I'm

1:07:26.440 --> 1:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Yeah, okay, so you're getting serious for a minute.

1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about my friend Billy, if I

1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>can just for a second, Oh, absolutely sure. Billy Uh

1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Billy Uh Staples. He that was his radio name because

1:07:40.440 --> 1:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>he had staple surgery because he was very overweight. He

1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>looked like Chris Farley and he had stomach stapling surgery.

1:07:46.520 --> 1:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>And he was on the radio a couple of programs

1:07:48.600 --> 1:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>in New York. He was on Open Anthony and Ron

1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and Fez. If you know who those people are. He's

1:07:53.000 --> 1:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a good friend of mine. And Uh. He had staple

1:07:55.680 --> 1:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>surgery and and it didn't work. He kept eating and

1:07:57.800 --> 1:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>he popped his own staples. So they called him Billy

1:08:00.040 --> 1:08:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Stables and he laughed at himself and whatever. Billy was instrumental. Uh.

1:08:04.600 --> 1:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>We met early in my writing career. He got me

1:08:07.400 --> 1:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>into his improv group, which uh spearheaded me into writing

1:08:11.640 --> 1:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>with for Jay Leno. We both started writing for Jay

1:08:14.040 --> 1:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Leno at the same time. And I made a lot

1:08:16.680 --> 1:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>of connections because of Billy, and I owe a lot

1:08:19.360 --> 1:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of my success, a decent amount of my opportunities to

1:08:23.560 --> 1:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>opportunities that we did together. We were we we toured

1:08:26.439 --> 1:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>comedy clubs and colleges as part of an improv group. Anyway,

1:08:29.400 --> 1:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I know Billy for many many years. In fact, if

1:08:31.800 --> 1:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you go on my at David Brodie Instagram account, one

1:08:35.000 --> 1:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>of my pictures from a few pictures ago is a

<v Speaker 1>you want to see what I looked like, which is

1:08:44.160 --> 1:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I know, a long time ago group, the Comedy Express.

1:08:47.280 --> 1:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>It was actually the Online Comedy Express because back in

1:08:49.400 --> 1:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the day we formed the year the Internet formed, and

1:08:52.640 --> 1:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people met each other through the Internet

1:08:55.040 --> 1:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>as comedians in my group, and so being online was

1:08:58.439 --> 1:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. So we were the Online Comedy Express

1:09:01.200 --> 1:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and we dropped online and became the Comedy Express when

1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:05.799
<v Speaker 1>online became like, come on, man, we have the Internet

1:09:05.800 --> 1:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>for five years now, but we we started around the

1:09:08.280 --> 1:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>same time the Internet became popular. Joined Anyway, Billy is

<v Speaker 1>and they have to put a stent in or or

1:11:13.800 --> 1:11:16.599
<v Speaker 1>something like the last thing he needs. His anxiety and

1:11:17.640 --> 1:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>so you look, if you're looking to help a funny

1:11:20.200 --> 1:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>man out, who's a good man, who's devoted his life

1:11:22.720 --> 1:11:25.639
<v Speaker 1>to making people laugh. Uh, this is this is a guy.

1:11:25.800 --> 1:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>So um, all right, So we didn't collect enough voicemail

1:11:29.800 --> 1:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>for for the for a segment, because you know, we

1:11:33.400 --> 1:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>have a phone number now two one eight. F you

1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>ape seventy seven, that's a few ape seventy seven. But

1:11:40.320 --> 1:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>leave a voicemail when you can, and then maybe on

1:11:43.120 --> 1:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>our next podcast when we get enough of them, we'll

1:11:45.360 --> 1:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll play them back for you. And if you do

1:11:47.800 --> 1:11:52.599
<v Speaker 1>not hear your voicemail, it's probably because your phone quality

1:11:52.920 --> 1:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>was was garbage. You didn't realize it at the time,

1:11:55.640 --> 1:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>but it was a bad connection or whatever the case.

1:11:58.400 --> 1:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So we have had a slew of these that didn't

1:12:01.320 --> 1:12:03.439
<v Speaker 1>air because people were like, what did you air? Mind like,

1:12:03.720 --> 1:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and some people just said hello, I didn't really leave

1:12:06.120 --> 1:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a point. We want to, we want to want to

1:12:09.200 --> 1:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>really kind of play the funny ones. We don't want to,

1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, just well, I I appreciate it when you

1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:15.759
<v Speaker 1>guys said, oh, you guys are the best. That's great.

1:12:15.920 --> 1:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll never I'll never get old and it keeps me,

1:12:19.000 --> 1:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but give us a little content. Somebody did d M

1:12:21.280 --> 1:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to call them out because I

1:12:22.479 --> 1:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't want to single them out for this,

1:12:24.040 --> 1:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>but they were tongue in cheek, but they said they

1:12:26.840 --> 1:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>left a voicemail that was slightly critical of you, not insulting,

1:12:30.960 --> 1:12:33.439
<v Speaker 1>but they took my side in something and they were

1:12:33.479 --> 1:12:35.680
<v Speaker 1>concerned you didn't air it because they were saying I

1:12:35.760 --> 1:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>was right. Now, you wouldn't do that, No, no, but

1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't know, but I would uh not air it

1:12:40.680 --> 1:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>if if I couldn't understand who was unintelligible? Uh, maybe

1:12:44.520 --> 1:12:47.559
<v Speaker 1>leave that message again. I guess I don't know. All right, Um,

1:12:47.600 --> 1:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I do have one more scam I wanted to read

1:12:50.520 --> 1:12:52.479
<v Speaker 1>and I have I have a quick email, so let's

1:12:52.479 --> 1:12:55.599
<v Speaker 1>see this really quickly. This is David. This is from

1:12:55.680 --> 1:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>David Schwartz. And by the way, tribe, it will be tried.

1:12:57.880 --> 1:12:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's get some emails back in the in the in

1:12:59.560 --> 1:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the mix here you can always emails at the Brooklyn

1:13:02.120 --> 1:13:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Boys podcast at gmail dot com. I feel like people

1:13:04.640 --> 1:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>are starting off slow this year. Uh, David Schwartz. The

1:13:08.360 --> 1:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>subject is Sidel's dial. Oh he's definitely tried. So so yeah,

1:13:13.920 --> 1:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>so you would agree that you know, David, he know

1:13:16.479 --> 1:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>he says he's definitely tried. But I mean, take it

1:13:19.439 --> 1:13:21.439
<v Speaker 1>from a guy who's tribe, right, he would know and

1:13:21.560 --> 1:13:25.479
<v Speaker 1>let's see less he's could be adopted. He's tribe can

1:13:25.520 --> 1:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>be tribe, and his mother isn't so so so you

1:13:28.120 --> 1:13:30.759
<v Speaker 1>must agree and believe. No, no, there are some tribe

1:13:30.760 --> 1:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>members that you believe. You must believe the things that

1:13:33.160 --> 1:13:36.479
<v Speaker 1>he says. Right, So he's not necessarily in this following email.

1:13:36.520 --> 1:13:39.639
<v Speaker 1>The last few times you guys brought up Sidel's Scary's

1:13:39.720 --> 1:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>favorite punch place, I was on scary side. I love dil.

1:13:44.640 --> 1:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It makes me remember my grandma's cooking. It was a

1:13:48.479 --> 1:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>terrible cook in every an on everything she made. Well,

1:13:53.160 --> 1:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I'll stop right there for a second

1:13:55.479 --> 1:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and say thank you David for being a Jew and

1:13:59.240 --> 1:14:02.680
<v Speaker 1>for coming to the coming to the you know, to

1:14:03.360 --> 1:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>defense to defend, coming to my defense, not only coming

1:14:05.840 --> 1:14:08.960
<v Speaker 1>to my defense, but coming to the forefront and acknowledging

1:14:09.320 --> 1:14:12.479
<v Speaker 1>that dil is indeed used in Jewish cooking. It is,

1:14:12.720 --> 1:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>despite what Brody will tell you, and it may not

1:14:15.240 --> 1:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>be used in all Jewish cooking, but I would imagine,

1:14:19.360 --> 1:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>would you say dill is used in Italian cooking? Not

1:14:22.920 --> 1:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>really a rosemary, A lot of rosemary. Okay, So some

1:14:25.880 --> 1:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>woman named Rosemary uses dil. I get it isn't your

1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:32.519
<v Speaker 1>mother's name Rosemary, She's Rose Roseanne. Okay, but either way

1:14:32.560 --> 1:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>she's wrong, right, yeah, okay. So what I'm saying is

1:14:36.160 --> 1:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee as some Italian grandmother that puts dil in

1:14:38.640 --> 1:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>her meat balls. So there's always someone who does something.

1:14:41.160 --> 1:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>The fact that David's grandmother was a bad cook, that's

1:14:43.320 --> 1:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>not my milk. It was a Jewish tradition people. Dill

1:14:46.040 --> 1:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>is used in Jewish cooking period. But fends of it,

1:14:49.040 --> 1:14:52.519
<v Speaker 1>they don't take a shovel and throw it on cap anyway, Dave, Okay,

1:14:52.520 --> 1:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>here comes the part where he agrees with you. So

1:14:54.680 --> 1:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>this is where the now he's coming back. You didn't

1:14:57.960 --> 1:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>agree with scary, but I'd like to hear a voicemail comes.

1:15:02.200 --> 1:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I took a look at the menu, and I have

1:15:04.840 --> 1:15:08.519
<v Speaker 1>to yield a point to Brody. It sounds it's it's

1:15:08.600 --> 1:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like Julia, and this is what I got. I'm going

1:15:11.080 --> 1:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>about to shoot Dave down. He says, it sounds like

1:15:15.040 --> 1:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a theme restaurant, and the theme is Jewish food for

1:15:18.479 --> 1:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>genteels that gentles gentiles that learned about Jewish food from TV. Yes,

1:15:25.120 --> 1:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>thank you hash hashtag pickle palm, hashtag tribe, thank you,

1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>thank you love. It's not it is not a theme restaurant.

1:15:39.320 --> 1:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>The theme is dill and it is. I'm gonna I'm

1:15:42.760 --> 1:15:46.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna challenge David the other David David Schwartz. Yeah, there's

1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:48.960
<v Speaker 1>also no one in Florida now and like Coconut Grove

1:15:49.040 --> 1:15:53.799
<v Speaker 1>or Coconut Creek Coral in Miami area. I'm telling you guys,

1:15:54.120 --> 1:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>go to Sitdel's if you're in New York or that

1:15:56.080 --> 1:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>they're Florida. Don't say it. Eat there. And especially if

1:15:58.840 --> 1:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you're tribe and you're gonna tell me that that is

1:16:02.280 --> 1:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>forget about. Close your eyes, eat the food tasted, and

1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and and you can sported to your old Jewish delicacies

1:16:18.320 --> 1:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>are I'm sorry, David, I love you, but right I

1:16:22.000 --> 1:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>disagree with you. By the way, for those of you

1:16:24.320 --> 1:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know, because you're probably you are a gentile. A

1:16:26.880 --> 1:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>gentile is what old world Jews used to refer to

1:16:32.120 --> 1:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>non Jews. So anything in the world that you wore

1:16:34.800 --> 1:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>not Jewish. You're a gentile. We gotta get out of here.

1:16:50.240 --> 1:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>about Scotty B was talking about cleaning out his belly button.

1:16:53.280 --> 1:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>That is always crapp in your belly button. You never

1:16:55.200 --> 1:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>know what you're gonna find in your belly button. So

<v Speaker 1>a quarter fell out of his belly button. He had

1:17:12.920 --> 1:17:14.640
