Speaker 3: Harlow was working out with his trainer.
Speaker 2: Jack Harlow the rap. Was he trying to Was he
Speaker 2: trying to get a hit?
Speaker 3: He's due. He just dropped some new music with Doja

Speaker 3: the Jack Harlow, I mean, with with him there, I
Speaker 3: mean he's you know, he's a Jack Carlo's Tritle's commercial
Speaker 3: was terrible.
Speaker 2: But he's good. I like his music and he hasn't
Speaker 2: had a hit in a while.
Speaker 3: Great, he's got. I didn't hear that the new music

Speaker 2: I don't listen. But you know we're progressing from you know,
Speaker 2: not saying anything to uh, what's up?
Speaker 3: He gave me last time he gave me a good morning,
Speaker 3: and this time he gave me a what's up. I gotta,
Speaker 3: I gotta what's up? You know, pretty soon I'll get
Speaker 3: a fist bump. If I get to fist bump, I
Speaker 3: know them in but you know, he doesn't know. I
Speaker 3: don't think he's makes He certainly doesn't make the connection
Speaker 3: that like I met you before, because I mean it
Speaker 3: was only a couple of times. But anyway, Yeah, but
Speaker 3: he knows. He's now now he's used to seeing me there.
Speaker 2: Did you think you'd be invited to his wedding?
Speaker 3: No, I'll never get to that status, but it'll be
Speaker 3: nice to have a conversation. But have been There have
Speaker 3: been celebrities that have invited members of the Morning show
Speaker 3: to their weddings, and you were not on that list.
Speaker 2: I was not on the list.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if you're a Jack Harlow wedding list worthy
Speaker 3: Not yet, not yet, but anyway, really cool guy. His
Speaker 3: trainer's even cooler. His trainer talks. You know, he's he's
Speaker 3: he's a big jovial dude. He will be he wi
Speaker 3: used to have celebrity friends. He will be the piss
Speaker 3: out of you though, if you look at him wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was saying it's nice to have celebrity friends, unless
Speaker 3: you know celebrity friends are not getting good press these days.
Speaker 3: Then it's you know, this is what it is.
Speaker 2: Man so much to cover? I had some well I
Speaker 2: had a hell of a week. Did you you just
Speaker 2: have a show called that?
Speaker 3: Make a show called hell of a Week?
Speaker 2: Hell of a week? Recap your life?
Speaker 3: Saturday night? Went to Parkside Restaurant and Queen's. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: covered that on Slice time. I think, did we? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot. I forgot.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna let you make mid name a
Speaker 3: sponsor here. I'm gonna I'm gonna get permission. I should
Speaker 3: have screenshot at it or a screen recorded it. But
Speaker 3: you went to an event last night when you were dancing,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like eighties Brooklyn Italian bee Boy Guido
Speaker 3: dance bee Boy style. Yeah, well biting your lip, yeah,
Speaker 3: bottom lip thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, I mean, I guess we'll mention it real quick,
Speaker 2: but I.
Speaker 3: Think it's just to finish it as a permanent post
Speaker 3: on the Brooklyn Boys account. Oh really?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Well, well, well let me finish Uh, let me just
Speaker 3: say that. Do we talk about the fact that I
Speaker 3: went to I I what was it?
Speaker 2: Oh? I I sat at Frankie Valley's table in the
Speaker 2: four seasons you did on Slice I did? Okay, So
Speaker 2: we covered it all right, yeah, yeah, and we made
Speaker 2: a joke about it looks like a cardboard cutout these days.
Speaker 2: He barely moves.
Speaker 3: I also tended to wonder what was the last time
Speaker 3: he was in that restaurant. Was it back when he
Speaker 3: was making music in the seventies or was he uh
Speaker 3: Lenny's Pizza in Brooklyn had a picture of John Travolti vocal.
Speaker 3: He ate the pizza there in nineteen seventy six. The
Speaker 3: movie came out in seventy seven, and it was on
Speaker 3: the wall for forty years until they closed.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you a story.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say who, but there was a
Speaker 3: pizza place, not I would say, fifteen minutes away from
Speaker 3: where I used to live, and my wife and kids,
Speaker 3: we all used to get pizza from there. And then
Speaker 3: one day I don't know, I don't I think they
Speaker 3: asked to come up to the Morning show. They were
Speaker 3: big fans, and I said, I know them, sure, let
Speaker 3: them come up. So they came up to the show.
Speaker 3: They brought pizza. Nicest family in the world, and they
Speaker 3: put up a picture of the Morning Show. This is
Speaker 3: a long time ago, like Lauren was in the picture,
Speaker 3: and Carolina it was a long time ago. And it
Speaker 3: was on the wall in the pizza place. And then,
Speaker 3: you know, whenever I go in, he'd say, he is
Speaker 3: older Tian gentlemen, Hey.
Speaker 2: Let me pay pictures still on the wall.
Speaker 3: Hey look us here, Hey brody, Hey we listen anywhere. Well,
Speaker 3: a couple of months back, I went in for pizza
Speaker 3: in this place, and everybody knows me, you know, because
Speaker 3: I've been eating there for like ten to fifteen, where
Speaker 3: everybody knows your name. Yeah, And so I look on
Speaker 3: the wall and the picture is no longer up. Those bastards,
Speaker 3: Why can't you I wouldn't say that, Why can't you
Speaker 3: give out the name? No, no, because I like the
Speaker 3: people there. The food's excellent.
Speaker 2: Why do you think they took down your picture?
Speaker 3: I don't know. But there was other pictures on them.
Speaker 3: It was like there was like pictures of Italy on
Speaker 3: the wall and other photographs.
Speaker 2: Now was it one of those things where they ran
Speaker 2: out of room and maybe I don't get that impression. No,
Speaker 2: there's a whole wall.
Speaker 3: Oh shit. What they did was they realized the people
Speaker 3: in the picture, most of them aren't on the show anymore, probably,
Speaker 3: but that cool three people in the picture. That was
Speaker 3: like eight nine people in our caricatures were all drawn
Speaker 3: on the wall of the Palm restaurant in downtown Manhattan.
Speaker 3: But we we stayed up until the bitter end, until
Speaker 3: they closed it. They closed it down. Yeah, I still
Speaker 3: have the pictures, grand opening, grand closing, grand closing. But uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I get my that was my one, my
Speaker 3: second restaurant wall, and one removed them and one got
Speaker 3: torn down. Slices, leave us a talk, But I put
Speaker 3: on pictures up on your restaurant. The Brooklyn Boys, we
Speaker 3: should do that.
Speaker 2: I wasn't going there. I was gonna say little slices.
Speaker 3: Who what restaurant or place of business you go in
Speaker 3: where you have like a where a funny celebrities picture
Speaker 3: and autograph or whatever is hanging up. Funny could be funny,
Speaker 3: well something that it could be somebody that was relevant
Speaker 3: at one time and no longer relevant or B lister,
Speaker 3: a C lister, or a list.
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, we'll take it all.
Speaker 3: There are pizza places I've been in, some in my
Speaker 3: area and some just in my life. I've been in
Speaker 3: where they like diners. Go into a diner and it
Speaker 3: shows like Tommy Valero and like he was in one
Speaker 3: episode of Law and Order twelve years ago, and his
Speaker 3: headshots on the wall, They're like, who the fuck's Tommy Valero? Yeah,
Speaker 3: there is no time she made the name of them.
Speaker 3: And then you google it you're like, oh, he was
Speaker 3: in one episode of Lawn Order twelve years ago. He
Speaker 3: must have committed like, hey, I'm Tommy Valero. I'm in
Speaker 3: Lawn Order this week. I'm a regular here.
Speaker 2: But on the walls, if you go into a place
Speaker 2: of business and there's there's a commemorative thing of someone
Speaker 2: who's like shop there, been there, eating there, whatever, but
Speaker 2: used their service, whatever hanging on the wall or whatever
Speaker 2: drop us a talk about we'd like to hear about it.
Speaker 2: Who is the celebrity or quasi celebrity.
Speaker 3: Well, this one diner that I that's I go on
Speaker 3: to him once every couple of years. They've got pictures
Speaker 3: of the owner with celebrities on the wall. But it's
Speaker 3: not like the celebrities that they weren't there at the diner.
Speaker 3: He's like, you had a picture with a guy in Vegas.
Speaker 3: He bumped into a guy in a re Like if
Speaker 3: you and I opened a restaurant and we put pictures
Speaker 3: up of us with all the celebrities we've taken pictures
Speaker 3: in studio, that doesn't count. At the radios, doesn't count. No,
Speaker 3: it just shows that we had a fun life. It
Speaker 3: doesn't mean like those people, oh oh look look at
Speaker 3: Brody with Taylor Swift, we should go to that diner
Speaker 3: because Taylor Swift loves that diner. No, she doesn't.
Speaker 2: She stood next to me at the radio station seven
Speaker 2: or eight times.
Speaker 3: But one of the big problems with Hoboken is every
Speaker 3: restaurant in Hoboken has their claim to fame that Frank
Speaker 3: Sinatra eight there.
Speaker 2: Yet there's no proof. Yet, there's no proof Washington slept there,
Speaker 2: and you know, Frank's Notatre eight.
Speaker 3: Nobody was you know, nobody was recording, nobody was filming.
Speaker 3: There was no social media.
Speaker 2: But places everyone says, yeah, Frank, Frank Sinatra eighth here
Speaker 2: back in the nineteen fifties. So I don't know. I
Speaker 2: am a little suss on places like that because they
Speaker 2: can't prove that he didn't, So I guess it must
Speaker 2: be true. But that they all do that, they all
Speaker 2: the places that are like like, uh, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: if they claim to fame, is that Sinatra lived there exactly? Oh,
Speaker 2: speaking of which, on Daredevil, which is the latest Marvel
Speaker 2: show that I do the Marvel Movie Talk podcast on
Speaker 2: the Geekscape network on YouTube.
Speaker 3: On last Tuesday, Tuesday's episode, there were two episodes that
Speaker 3: came out Tuesday that In one of the episodes, Daredevil
Speaker 3: is talking to the manager of a bank and the
Speaker 3: manager of the bank says, oh, I live in Jersey City,
Speaker 3: and Daredevil, Matt Murdoch, the character, you know, his alter ego,
Speaker 3: is in the bank for a loan. He says, oh,
Speaker 3: I love Jersey City. His unpopular opinion, Jersey City is
Speaker 3: much cooler than Hoboken. And the guy says, yes, thank
Speaker 3: you for finally admitting that, Yes, Jersey City.
Speaker 2: I love Jersey City.
Speaker 3: Now scary as someone who is admitted to living in
Speaker 3: Jersey City and hanging out in Hoboken, which is the cooler,
Speaker 3: cooler city.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right next to.
Speaker 3: Each o god, two buildings going up in Jersey City.
Speaker 3: I think Jersey City. I think the action and the
Speaker 3: fun and the excitement and the diversity is all in
Speaker 3: Jersey City. Oh oh oh unpopular opinion. That's ballsy. It's
Speaker 3: not ballsy, it's the truth. It covers more area, you know.
Speaker 2: You know, there's the Oh my god, everyone goes to
Speaker 2: the Man of Burger on one and nine, where apparently
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson used to go when he used to train
Speaker 2: at the gym across the street. U uh, there was
Speaker 2: a they're still Mike Tyson. No that there's a place
Speaker 2: called Ringside. It's it still is a boxing gym to
Speaker 2: this day and across from the Manna Burger, which is
Speaker 2: at the World's Fair. In nineteen thirty nine, you could
Speaker 2: look up White Man of Burger. It's basically credited as like,
Speaker 2: you know, one of the oldest sliders you know in existence.
Speaker 3: That's still a little greasy burger joint the size of
Speaker 3: a doghouse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they smack the fucking beef on the on the
Speaker 2: flat iron grill. Well like a shed. It's a small
Speaker 2: little like a it's cute. It's cute, and it's a
Speaker 2: standalone place with a parking lot and it's yes, yeah, good.
Speaker 2: The sliders are so good, brody, But you got you
Speaker 2: got to be close to home.
Speaker 3: They were on dinos, drivers and dives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to be close, very close to the homes.
Speaker 3: They slide around why they call it, which is why
Speaker 3: I was told one hundred years ago that that's why
Speaker 3: they were called. By the way, you mentioned that some
Speaker 3: of the establishments were Frank Sinatra, like was like eight
Speaker 3: the ninety years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh, apparently Leo's Grandezvous is one of them.
Speaker 3: I heard. I heard a car commercial yesterday for a
Speaker 3: New Jersey Cadillact dealership and they said family owned and
Speaker 3: providing wonderful customer service for over a hundred years. Now
Speaker 3: do I know for a fact or care that in
Speaker 3: nineteen twenty five they may have had a car dealership.
Speaker 3: Those people are all dead, So even if they were
Speaker 3: great at it, that doesn't have any reflect I go
Speaker 3: in there. Now, I'm just gonna say the Jones family
Speaker 3: wasn't the Jones family. But let's say the Jones family
Speaker 3: started at nineteen twenty five. Their great grandkids are working there. Now.
Speaker 3: Maybe if I go in there, there's no Jones people
Speaker 3: on the floor. Hell now owns the place. He doesn't
Speaker 3: set foot. Like where I buy my Dodge. The people
Speaker 3: whose name is on the dealership, they don't go there. No,
Speaker 3: they're not there. They own ten dealerships. They don't give
Speaker 3: a fuck. They'll walk along. Hey, let me show you
Speaker 3: this car. Yeah, they're not in there, like, oh, oh
Speaker 3: Stegerson again, make it up a name Anderson Dodge. Yeah,
Speaker 3: mister Anderson is not Well, hey, I'm mister Anderson. My
Speaker 3: family's been in business for ae hundred years. Let me
Speaker 3: help you out. Yeah, I mean they're obviously hoping that
Speaker 3: you're gonna go there because it's trusted, it's vetted people
Speaker 3: that we've managed not to go out of business for
Speaker 3: a hundred years. I get that right, It's okay, but
Speaker 3: it was just like one hundred years. Yeah. Speaking of cars, Well,
Speaker 3: tell me you got the number one rating of car
Speaker 3: dealerships in New Jersey and your prices are low.
Speaker 2: That's what I care about.
Speaker 3: That's all anyone cares about that. That's as far as you,
Speaker 3: as your loyalty goes. You better buy a car before
Speaker 3: April second of twenty twenty five if you have not.
Speaker 3: If you're looking to buy a car, fucking run and.
Speaker 2: Buy a car. When we come back out a quick day.
Speaker 2: Yeah about my car, speaking of cars, Oh oh, dying
Speaker 2: to know if you got it back.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the.
Speaker 2: Very briefly. Last week brought my car. It was a
Speaker 2: week ago today.
Speaker 3: You didn't bring your car.
Speaker 2: No, they brought They flapped out of my car up
Speaker 2: to the dealers car They told her all the way
Speaker 2: up to Westchester and I and they three three of
Speaker 2: my tires were fucked, and so was my wheel.
Speaker 3: They turned out to be a wheel was cracked, not
Speaker 3: the steering wheel. No weeks. By the way, people commonly
Speaker 3: called the thing the tire sits on is the rim
Speaker 3: the rim, right, But the dealerships cars places called them
Speaker 3: with the wheels. Now, yeah, so finally got my car. Yesterday.
Speaker 3: They sent it back to me. They drove it down
Speaker 3: to me, Brodie, I asked.
Speaker 2: Them, wait yesterday yesterday?
Speaker 3: Yes, So we're recording this on Friday. Yes, so we
Speaker 3: got it back on Thursday. Correct, When did you When
Speaker 3: did you bring the.
Speaker 2: Last Friday, last Friday afternoon, last Friday night. Yeah, last
Speaker 2: Friday night, when it was supposed to be like a
Speaker 2: routine thing and it was gonna for a flat. They
Speaker 2: were going to pay for it, so I guess that's fine. Well,
Speaker 2: they had to They had to actually send the car
Speaker 2: out to another area, and then they had to get
Speaker 2: the wheel because it wasn't in stock. And then then
Speaker 2: they had to do an alignment because the driving column
Speaker 2: was out. So up a pothole big enough knock your
Speaker 2: card of align.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened. This pothole swallowed my car. So
Speaker 3: I'm my favorite horror movies.
Speaker 2: So I just want to tell you I have redemption
Speaker 2: and justification now for all that bitched and yelled at
Speaker 2: me about saying it was a sucker's bet to get
Speaker 2: the tire and wheel package, it pretty much paid for
Speaker 2: itself in one visit, three run flat tires and the
Speaker 2: wheel alignment and the wheel and painting of the wheel.
Speaker 2: I racked up over two thousand dollars in damage. Two thousand.
Speaker 2: You know how much that costs me out of my
Speaker 2: pocket with the tire and wheel package free ninety nine?
Speaker 3: How much is the tying wheel package over the How
Speaker 3: much is the tire wheel package.
Speaker 2: Over I have to go look at I have to
Speaker 2: go look at the contract.
Speaker 3: Because if it's more than two thousand, then this wasn't free, right,
Speaker 3: but three regular tires you would have needed one for.
Speaker 3: I feel, I actually feel happy that I did it,
Speaker 3: and I feel.
Speaker 2: That I know I did. I'm going to tolerate you
Speaker 2: being happy and I did the right thing. That was
Speaker 2: just a brief update, thank you.
Speaker 3: All right. I need you to be miserable, miserable so
Speaker 3: that there's there's that that thing. You need to damage
Speaker 3: your tires three or four more times to make it
Speaker 3: worthwhile that you that you paid for the run flat package.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: But you know what, if you need a new car,
Speaker 3: I know you can go to a place that's been
Speaker 3: open one hundred years, family owned, family owned and operated.
Speaker 3: Right that doesn't doesn't that's not a selling point for me. Again,
Speaker 3: lowest prices in the area, that's what I want to hear, so.
Speaker 2: Real, real quickly. You had mentioned in the earlier break
Speaker 2: Oh what I did last night so are you gonna
Speaker 2: post that video? Promise you'll post it.
Speaker 3: I promise I'll post it. Oh you want the dancing video.
Speaker 3: The dancing video, the one withou set it off on
Speaker 3: the left. First one, the first one, the second one.
Speaker 3: You weren't so great. In the first one, you weren't bad.
Speaker 3: The one where you were singing did rob bass? Rob bass?
Speaker 2: That was that was DJ easy rock rob bass. It
Speaker 2: was I'm gonna rock right now based on I need
Speaker 2: you to post that on.
Speaker 3: The Brooklyn Boys Instagram account.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what happened was Dave and Busters around the country.
Speaker 2: They're reimagining a lot of the places they you know,
Speaker 2: obviously yeah, sponsor, sponsor by the way. They they they
Speaker 2: decided that, you know, let's do a little bit of
Speaker 2: a revamp on the cocktail menu, ad some food, some
Speaker 2: good stuff. They want you to go every celebration, you know,
Speaker 2: with sports watching stuff after work and hanging out with
Speaker 2: your corporate events.
Speaker 3: That should be the place to go. It's also a
Speaker 3: place for families, as you know. And they and they
Speaker 3: upgraded some of the games in there. So they did
Speaker 3: this thing in Times Square to decide that they said,
Speaker 3: let's let's it's not that they're reopening, because they have
Speaker 3: been open, but look, you know, let's celebrate.
Speaker 2: Let's have a party.
Speaker 3: So they got Eli Manning from the from the Giant
Speaker 3: quarterback of the Giants to come in and bey who
Speaker 3: looked like Eli Manning because you've had that problem before.
Speaker 3: He was actually like, he showed up, he gave a
Speaker 3: speech and I didn't know that Melissa Gorga and Joe
Speaker 3: Gorga from the Real Housewives of New Jersey we're going
Speaker 3: to be there. Yeah, friends, yeah, And it was it
Speaker 3: was so cool running into them and he was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I know you're going to be here.
Speaker 2: I don't know you were going to be here. So
Speaker 2: we spent a lot of time hanging out. Well. So
Speaker 2: one of the things that was going on there was
Speaker 2: a DJ spinning and they had a little mini dance
Speaker 2: floor in the middle of all of the video game area.
Speaker 2: They had a couple of break dancers come in and
Speaker 2: do some.
Speaker 3: Old school eighties moves set to early eighties electro hip
Speaker 3: hop stuff like you know, like the Africa Bimbada stuff
Speaker 3: and you know back in the day before that was
Speaker 3: before your time, because you grow up on Nicki Minaj
Speaker 3: way before.
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't even born yet.
Speaker 3: So so then they go into like rob bass and
Speaker 3: DJ easy Rock from a song from nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 3: which I know every friggin word to.
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry about eighty percent. I'm I'm I'm actually
Speaker 2: on the on the sideline and I'm rapping to the song.
Speaker 2: The two break dancers see me, they pull me to
Speaker 2: the middle of the dance floor and they want they
Speaker 2: put their friggin hat on my head. It was a
Speaker 2: Yankee hat backwards y, and they want me to like
Speaker 2: kind of lean into it and do the rap. So
Speaker 2: I just gave a show to everybody that was watching.
Speaker 2: And then so I'm like jumping around the dance floor
Speaker 2: like a frigging buffoon rapping to It takes two to
Speaker 2: make a thing go right, And I felt in the moment,
Speaker 2: all right, I guess I have to do this because
Speaker 2: they're pulling. Don't you hate that If you're sitting at
Speaker 2: a wedding or wherever you are at an event and
Speaker 2: the crowd motivated comes and they're trying to pull everybody
Speaker 2: up on the dance floor. You've had that happen to you, right, Brody, No,
Speaker 2: you've had it happen to you.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna how do you get at it. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna show you the face when the guy starts walking
Speaker 3: anywhere in the general area. Ha ha, that's the face.
Speaker 3: That's the face that says, don't fucking come near me
Speaker 3: or reach out for my head.
Speaker 2: Just put on the stank face.
Speaker 3: So if you've been at part of of a party before,
Speaker 3: you've had this happen to you. And when you're sitting
Speaker 3: here talking to some people catching up on old times
Speaker 3: and they're like, come on, get up, and then they're
Speaker 3: pulling you up on that or so one of the
Speaker 3: guests even worse, one of the guests who barely knows you,
Speaker 3: come on, it's time to get up and then dance.
Speaker 3: That's what I felt like yesterday because I just wanted
Speaker 3: to just wrap to myself in the corner, but the
Speaker 3: two breakdancer guys pulled me onto the dance floor and
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, fuck, so now I'm putting on a
Speaker 3: show for people and looking like a buffoon. And I
Speaker 3: looked like a buffoon. And then in the following video,
Speaker 3: they brought like Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga up on
Speaker 3: the dance floor and they're they're doing the same thing
Speaker 3: and they decide to go into like you know, set
Speaker 3: it off, Set it off on the left. Remember that
Speaker 3: song that's again once again way over people's heads except
Speaker 3: Maddie from the Bronx. You know, set it off on
Speaker 3: the left, set it off. I suggest, set it off, y'all.
Speaker 3: Set it off, Set it off from nineteen eighty four anyway.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so that that was what was going on.
Speaker 3: But I gotta say the coolest new game is the
Speaker 3: human Skill Crane. The human crane where you are the crane.
Speaker 3: You know those those skill crane games that at the
Speaker 3: Jersey Shore and everything, the scams that pick up stuff
Speaker 3: and then drop it the win one out of a
Speaker 3: million times the claw where.
Speaker 2: Where as it's picking up the prize and it just
Speaker 2: slips through that right there. You actually they harness you
Speaker 2: in and you are the crane and then the crane
Speaker 2: operator lowers you down into the pit and you get
Speaker 2: to pick up his and I'm the grabby. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: I'm the person that's grabbing. So anyway, so I got
Speaker 2: to do that. That's a lot of fun. And I
Speaker 2: picked the couple of like blow up pool toys. Oh,
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna say blow up sex doll. Sorry, no, anyway,
Speaker 2: they had that.
Speaker 3: You know what scary the yet you got pulled toys.
Speaker 3: If I still had my pool, you could come over. Oh, Brodie,
Speaker 3: isn't that nice? I picked up an alien, a surfboard,
Speaker 3: and a banana all like life Like, I know you
Speaker 3: picked up an alien. Her name is Robin, Yes exactly,
Speaker 3: I didn't. I gave the toys back though, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's okay. I don't want to walk around with this
Speaker 3: green alien all night. That's the size of me and
Speaker 3: plastic blow up alien. And Robin texts me, I hope
Speaker 3: that alien is coming home with you and I'm like no, yeah.
Speaker 2: Of course Robin would want the alien.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I'm like, it's embarrassing to walk around the
Speaker 3: whole night with that. Anyway, it was a great party,
Speaker 3: good times. What did you do last night? What did
Speaker 3: you do this week? Brody? I do this week? Uh?
Speaker 3: You know what. I have a couple of stories about
Speaker 3: going out to a bar, but I want to tell
Speaker 3: you about what happened to me last night, not last
Speaker 3: what's the day? What'sday?
Speaker 2: Friday?
Speaker 3: Tuesday? I had to go to my daughter's apartment. And
Speaker 3: she lives not that far from a city. It's a
Speaker 3: very very crowded area, a lot of cars, but on
Speaker 3: her block, not a lot of cars drive up the block.
Speaker 3: It's a side street, not a lot of cars. But
Speaker 3: there's never any parking in front of her, in front
Speaker 3: of where she lives. So I had to bring her,
Speaker 3: bring her something, and I had to get something from her.
Speaker 2: So I say, you know, like I do I always do.
Speaker 2: I double park.
Speaker 3: That is a fire hydrant in front of her place,
Speaker 3: and normally I just pull into the spot where the
Speaker 3: fire hydrant is, I you know, double, I park in
Speaker 3: like a few feet from the curb, and I wait
Speaker 3: for her, and we sit and talk for a while
Speaker 3: and I leave. Not a big deal. Well, when I
Speaker 3: went Tuesday night, there's no parking space on either side
Speaker 3: of the street the whole block. Okay. And she lives
Speaker 3: on the kind of block that you can't really you
Speaker 3: can't really like go around the block. Once you know
Speaker 3: you live on a normal block, you make a left, left, left,
Speaker 3: and you come back, of course right right, right, and
Speaker 3: you come back. Yeah, the way she lived, the way
Speaker 3: her block is, you can't make a right at the
Speaker 3: end of the street, and if you make a left,
Speaker 3: you have to make another left.
Speaker 2: You get to a street where you can't make any turn.
Speaker 3: Miserable if you go up another couple of blocks wait
Speaker 3: for a light, it's a fucking nightmare. Okay, So I
Speaker 3: double park and I get the same shit that usually happens.
Speaker 3: I get a car they don't know if they could fit. Now,
Speaker 3: when I double park, I pull within an inch of
Speaker 3: the cars on my right, and I leave it where
Speaker 3: a door can open between the two cars that are parked,
Speaker 3: so that my daughter could get in the car. She
Speaker 3: gets in the car, and we were talking for like
Speaker 3: an hour, because that's what we do. I haven't seen her,
Speaker 3: you know, in a in a little while and catching
Speaker 3: up and we're hanging out or sharing Instagram videos with
Speaker 3: each other and TikTok. We're having a good time in
Speaker 3: the car. In the car, I was gonna leave. I
Speaker 3: wouldna leave, but then she's like, oh yeah, so I'm
Speaker 3: double parked. So the first couple of cars come by
Speaker 3: and they're like they're waiting and they're not coming through.
Speaker 2: Scary.
Speaker 3: There's enough room for a fucking truck. The streets wide
Speaker 3: enough for four and a half cars. Yeah, they can
Speaker 3: easily fit a car and a half between me and
Speaker 3: the cars on the left side of the street. So
Speaker 3: they're like, they go by, they're giving me dirty looks.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I try to look to the left as they're passing
Speaker 3: me because I'm getting dirty look from them. They go through.
Speaker 3: Then I get there's a couple of people in cars
Speaker 3: that know how to drive, and they go twom right through,
Speaker 3: no problem. Well, then I get I get this this car,
Speaker 3: it's a mini van and they have to go by
Speaker 3: like a mile an hour because they can't And I
Speaker 3: see scary out the window. There's a foot of room
Speaker 3: next to my car. There have plenty of room and
Speaker 3: they're going through a mile an hour. Now, listen, what
Speaker 3: can you say about cars? Scary? No matter what speed
Speaker 3: you're going, if you're going straight, the car's not going
Speaker 3: to move sideways. Correct, So once you are halfway past
Speaker 3: my car, you can go a little faster and go
Speaker 3: straight and.
Speaker 2: Get out of there. Correct.
Speaker 3: They got to go the entire scary. They went slow.
Speaker 3: Even the trunk of the car was still next to
Speaker 3: my car as they were pulling through, and they didn't
Speaker 3: hit the accelerator. They had to wait until the entire
Speaker 3: length of the car had passed the car. Okay, don't
Speaker 3: don't drive if you can't get through a double park car.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. About ten minutes later, Now, my
Speaker 3: daughter's street's not that long, maybe maybe twenty car lengths.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not along a long street at all.
Speaker 3: I'm parked about three cars from the end of the block,
Speaker 3: and I would say about nine or ten cars behind me.
Speaker 3: I see a car stop directly behind me, So it's
Speaker 3: double park directly behind me. Okay, and he starts giving
Speaker 3: me the brights. Oh God, Like, why is this car
Speaker 3: which is nine to ten car lengths behind me at
Speaker 3: the beginning of the street giving me the brights if
Speaker 3: it's not moving and you have you and you have
Speaker 3: your hazards on the whole time, Yes, my hazards are on.
Speaker 3: I'm he doesn't know if I'm in the car. It's
Speaker 3: it's it's ten, nine o'clock at night. Yeah, you can't
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 2: You can't crow cluck at night. You can't see shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Second of all, you're parked all the way at
Speaker 3: the other end of the street. What are the brights for?
Speaker 3: I don't know what your what your purpose is. So
Speaker 3: he's flashing the lights. I'm like, what the fuck is
Speaker 3: this guy doing. So then finally he pulls into the
Speaker 3: left side of the street where the opening is next
Speaker 3: to my car and pulls. Now three car links behind me,
Speaker 3: and he's flashing the brights again, like, I don't understand.
Speaker 3: You don't have a big car drive fucking through. What
Speaker 3: do you want me to do? Start my car and
Speaker 3: leave there's room? Yeah, okay. So then he starts blowing
Speaker 3: the horn. I'm like, fuck this, I'm not moving my car,
Speaker 3: and my daughter says to me, dumb, move your car.
Speaker 3: Let him let me.
Speaker 2: You know still how to drive.
Speaker 3: So the car pulls next to me and again scary
Speaker 3: a foot and a half a room and goes by,
Speaker 3: gives me the dirtiest look. Now, first of all slices
Speaker 3: helped me out here. You can leave a talk back.
Speaker 3: I know I'm not supposed to double park. Leave that
Speaker 3: part out of your talk back, but if I leave
Speaker 3: enough room to get by, if you don't know how
Speaker 3: to get passed the double park car. When you live
Speaker 3: in the New York New Jersey area, you shouldn't be
Speaker 3: driving because people double park all over the place. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's especially in these neighborhoods. Yeah right, this isn't Tucson, right.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, So they finally go through, more cars go
Speaker 3: through on getting dirty looks whatever. Finally scary, a woman
Speaker 3: pulls up behind me, behind my car, and she's she's
Speaker 3: blowing the horn. So my daughter turns around and says, hell,
Speaker 3: is that old bag want? Because that's my daughter, you know?
Speaker 3: And I said, I don't know. So so I'm waving
Speaker 3: out my I stick my arm, and I go go around,
Speaker 3: go around. She wouldn't even attempt to pull into the
Speaker 3: left lane to go around me. She just kept blowing
Speaker 3: the horn. She wouldn't go around. My god, what's wrong
Speaker 3: with these people? I don't know. I don't know. So
Speaker 3: I so at that point, I'm like, yeah, fuck it,
Speaker 3: she's not even gonna try to go around me. So
Speaker 3: I went around the block.
Speaker 2: I went around and around and around the left and right,
Speaker 2: and I thinking, what is wrong with people?
Speaker 3: Go around? I'm really, you can't navigate your way past
Speaker 3: the double buck card? Don't drive? I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: are you and you're you're saying that there was definitely
Speaker 3: enough room to go go through because Scary she was
Speaker 3: driving a Honda cr V, which is a tiny mini van.
Speaker 3: It's value.
Speaker 2: I just want I want to know why so many
Speaker 2: people had a problem with you sitting there.
Speaker 3: The person who was giving me the brights when they
Speaker 3: went through, there was six cars behind them that went
Speaker 3: through like thisom no problem minivan. A lot of beginning,
Speaker 3: a lot of beginner drivers. Repair van went by. You
Speaker 3: had some beginner drivers there, Brody. You had to you
Speaker 3: had to have them. That's what that That's what was there.
Speaker 3: What would you have done? Would you have just when
Speaker 3: they gave me the brights, would you have been like,
Speaker 3: fucking I'll move.
Speaker 2: You're like, fuck it. They should go around me. Fuck it,
Speaker 2: they should go around me.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, slices if you're gonna leave a messag. I
Speaker 3: want to know where you live in, what kind of
Speaker 3: neighborhood you live in? Before you tell me like I
Speaker 3: shouldn't double park. Keeping in mind, just like Scary said,
Speaker 3: this potholes. Everywhere you grow up in Brooklyn, they teach
Speaker 3: you how to parallel park, how to make an illegal
Speaker 3: you turn.
Speaker 2: We had a double park. All right, that's your driving test.
Speaker 3: The Brooklyn Boys Podcast. We will be right back sometimes
Speaker 3: they need those commercial breaks to calm down a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this kind of reset hits the reset button you bring
Speaker 3: because you ramp up, you explode, and then then we
Speaker 3: go right back to zero we started.
Speaker 2: I forgot some I forgot something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck you woman with the brights, fuck you c
Speaker 3: r V lady, fuck you, and uh and fuck you
Speaker 3: person who drives slowly until your entire car is passed
Speaker 3: my car, and fuck you. The person who asks me
Speaker 3: for a favor, You do the favor and then they
Speaker 3: don't take the favor, and not fuck you. I'm just
Speaker 3: adding on to that fuck you because it just feels
Speaker 3: good right now.
Speaker 2: But this happened to me. So have you ever had
Speaker 2: somebody in your life that asked you for a favor?
Speaker 2: It could be back in the day of you know,
Speaker 2: getting concert tickets or you're doing something like that. So
Speaker 2: I recently I made a restaurant reservation for somebody, and
Speaker 2: it was hard to get table. And it was a
Speaker 2: large party, but you told them who you were. It
Speaker 2: was a large party. It was a large party, and
Speaker 2: it was it was a hard it was hard to
Speaker 2: get table. So I made some phone calls and I
Speaker 2: jumped through hoops and even and the person even said, hey,
Speaker 2: you're going to be there, and I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: this is totally for someone else. And they're like, all right,
Speaker 2: we got it done.
Speaker 3: So they get the large party in on a very
Speaker 3: popular night of the week to a very hard to
Speaker 3: get table at a very popular restaurant.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: And then when I told the person that I mission
Speaker 3: a complished, I understood the assignment, they said to me.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah about that reservation. Yeah, we decided we're going.
Speaker 3: To go somewhere else because this other person that doesn't
Speaker 3: want to go there. So after you pulled all the strings,
Speaker 3: after I pulled all the strings, Yeah, so that's the
Speaker 3: last time you do them a favor.
Speaker 2: Well not really.
Speaker 3: This person is very very sweet, But I wanted to
Speaker 3: just use this moment and use this as an example
Speaker 3: for just a larger issue in life because I know
Speaker 3: a lot of I just wanted to use that to
Speaker 3: start the conversation because I know this happens all the
Speaker 3: time to people where you go out of you you
Speaker 3: go out of your way. It could be something that
Speaker 3: puts you, you know, maybe maybe you spend money on something,
Speaker 3: maybe you you know what I mean, Like you've gotten,
Speaker 3: you've had this before. Contract tickets is the thing that
Speaker 3: comes closest and resonates with me. Whereight someone asked me
Speaker 3: for something and I and I finally and I come
Speaker 3: through with it.
Speaker 2: And then they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, can you do
Speaker 2: the other the next night? Because this person is in
Speaker 2: concert three nights and they can't go on night one.
Speaker 3: Uh, but we appreciate the tickets. Can you try for
Speaker 3: night too? Or even worse? Yeah, the seats about those?
Speaker 3: Can you mean we've had that? I've had that happened
Speaker 3: to me over the years. Oh. Absolutely, But that's a
Speaker 3: that's a un that's unique to us because this is
Speaker 3: our industry. Well, I had someone ask me for tickets
Speaker 3: to uh a jingle ball outside New York. Now, jingle
Speaker 3: balls outside New York are a little easier to get
Speaker 3: tickets too for us back in the day. I don't
Speaker 3: know about now, but you know ten years ago the
Speaker 3: jingle ball in Boston or Atlanta, you could you could
Speaker 3: maybe ask for a favor and get tickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And since I wasn't going, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'll just you know, give them no.
Speaker 3: Ever, so somebody said to me, can you get me
Speaker 3: tickets for our family to go to this out of
Speaker 3: town you know, not New York jingle ball. I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: let me see what I can do. Send off an email.
Speaker 3: Listen early in the favor. Yep, a very close friend
Speaker 3: they're going to be in this town. They said, yep,
Speaker 3: got me four tickets. So I email this this person
Speaker 3: back and I say, hey, I got you four tickets.
Speaker 3: He said, oh, you know, our daughter really wants to
Speaker 3: bring her friends, and you know that she's got to
Speaker 3: go with her. Can you get us eight tickets instead
Speaker 3: of four? And you get us another four together? Wow?
Speaker 2: No, that's some balls.
Speaker 3: No, I can't get you eight. I did a fact
Speaker 3: I got. I used up a huge favor getting the four.
Speaker 3: Not only do you want another four? You want eight together? What? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you gotta watch you get me Caul, who you
Speaker 3: do favors for? You have to because all of a
Speaker 3: sudden it turns into you know, oh you know, does
Speaker 3: does that include backstage passes? Does that include food? Is
Speaker 3: there like a food area that we didn't get into?
Speaker 3: And no, no, no, so yeah, so what happened with
Speaker 3: the restaurant?
Speaker 2: Did you have to cancel the reservation? I did? And
Speaker 2: then the person who did me the favor was like
Speaker 2: really really because I knew the person at the other end.
Speaker 3: At the restaurant, because they could have booked it for
Speaker 3: somebody else. Yeah, I mean they canceled it in well
Speaker 3: enough time. They didn't like, they didn't fuck me over
Speaker 3: on that. But but it was just like I went
Speaker 3: through all that and I also felt like I wasted
Speaker 3: a fate.
Speaker 2: I also wasted and asked you know, on something.
Speaker 3: Right right, because they did you the favor? Yeah, so
Speaker 3: you know, well they did you half a favor the reservation.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, why would they Why would you
Speaker 3: have a friend person ask you to make a reservation
Speaker 3: knowing it's hard to get as a huge favor before
Speaker 3: they checked with everyone in their party to see if they.
Speaker 2: All wanted to go to that restaurant.
Speaker 3: Why are they waiting till after they get the reservation
Speaker 3: to go because hey, Mike, you want to go to
Speaker 3: that Italian restaurant?
Speaker 2: No, I don't need Italian. So before even putting me
Speaker 2: through any of this, vett it through their friends.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, confirm, Hey can we all do Friday night
Speaker 3: at seven o'clock. The person is probably a novice at
Speaker 3: at plan making. But that's okay, that's all right. Well
Speaker 3: they knew the plan to call you. They're not that novice.
Speaker 3: Oh scare hook us up. It's easy, it's easy, simple.
Speaker 3: There's people I don't do favors for. You gotta be careful.
Speaker 3: You've got to go to vet you. You gotta vet
Speaker 3: the favors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I.
Speaker 3: Needed a favor?
Speaker 2: What favorite did you need? Can we talk about the favors?
Speaker 2: Or did you have somewhere you wanted to go? I
Speaker 2: have I have something for you?
Speaker 3: But you ahead?
Speaker 2: No, you go go ahead?
Speaker 3: I got okay, what do you got? Go ahead?
Speaker 2: So last weekend, on Friday night, I went out to
Speaker 2: dinner with last Friday night the boys, right, the boys
Speaker 2: about this Josh, the Josh Dinner, Josh and the and
Speaker 2: the Z one hundred old school boys. So did I
Speaker 2: tell you about my personal trainers?
Speaker 3: Went up? Yeah, you told me I might.
Speaker 2: I don't might it might have made a small mention.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I did or not. But have
Speaker 2: we done the Brooklyn boys since you went to dinner? No,
Speaker 2: we have not.
Speaker 3: You have told me, you said on Slice time, but
Speaker 3: you didn't give me detail. Yeah, just that we had
Speaker 3: an unexpected guest. My train has showed up. Well yeah,
Speaker 3: well here's what happened. So when I was being you know,
Speaker 3: I was working out, a trainers showed up, but I
Speaker 3: wasn't invited. When I was working last week.
Speaker 2: When I was working out last Friday in the day,
Speaker 2: he was asking My trainer was asking me, Oh, what
Speaker 2: are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3: I said, Oh, We're headed.
Speaker 2: Down that Gabrielle is in in Red Bank. It's an
Speaker 2: Italian steakhouse. Awesome food. Everything I hear, great things. Place
Speaker 2: gets all lively and whine. Oh yeah, who are you
Speaker 2: going with?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: My old school's even hundred friends.
Speaker 3: Oh he's dude, I live four minutes from there, so
Speaker 3: I said really, he goes, yeah, he goes. I said, look,
Speaker 3: we're going to go to the bar ahead of time.
Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna stand up, have some drinks. I said,
Speaker 3: if you're in the neighborhood, feel free to stop by.
Speaker 3: He goes, Oh, I'd love to. So my boy Andrew
Speaker 3: decides he's coming through. He's like, you know what, I'll
Speaker 3: be there. So I hang out with Josh and Sal
Speaker 3: and Bernie and all the boys that you know, you know,
Speaker 3: you should have been there too.
Speaker 2: Brody, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great. Yeah, we're hanging
Speaker 2: out at the bar, and in walks Andrew, my trainer. Well,
Speaker 2: last minute, our boy Matt decided he's not coming. Not
Speaker 2: Matt Merch no different Matt.
Speaker 3: Oh I saw some of the table. I didn't recognize Mattie.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, another person that was there, I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my trainer. So Matt, Matt decided he
Speaker 2: wasn't coming. But we had a table for six and
Speaker 2: there were five of us, and so I guess Josh
Speaker 2: and Sally and Brandon, everybody. They got to talking to
Speaker 2: Andrew and like oh he's a cool guy, yeah or whatever.
Speaker 2: And then we goes time to all right, your table's ready,
Speaker 2: they said. He goes, oh, well we have an extra seat.
Speaker 2: You want to join us for dinner. And Andrew's like,
Speaker 2: friend Brody was gonna come, but we didn't invite him. Well,
Speaker 2: Matt's not coming, Yes, come with us have dinner.
Speaker 3: So we sit down at the table and then my
Speaker 3: fucking personal trainer is sitting right across from me, staring
Speaker 3: me right in the face.
Speaker 2: Oh did you order appetizers for the table?
Speaker 3: No? I did not. Let me tell you a great
Speaker 3: way to keep my eating in check is to take
Speaker 3: my personal trainer everywhere, because now I'm thinking, like this guy,
Speaker 3: So the bread basket shows up and it's just like
Speaker 3: this fluffy garlic bread. It's scary. No, it was probably
Speaker 3: they don't for their garlic bread. So I'm sitting Apparently
Speaker 3: they okay. So I'm like, uh, I'm like sitting there
Speaker 3: and he's looking at me, and my train's look at me.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at him, and he's like yeah, he goes,
Speaker 3: that's all right, he goes. It's the weekend. It's okay,
Speaker 3: you can cheat, go for it. It's the freaking weekend. Baby,
Speaker 3: I'm about to have me some garlic bread. But instead
Speaker 3: of it's bright exactly. But if I but I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna have half. So i eat
Speaker 3: half a piece of garlic bread and then I'm eating
Speaker 3: all like proteins, half the first half, of the second half,
Speaker 3: the second. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So now I'm meeting and I'm sitting there, I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is going on? So I mean I'm meaning like
Speaker 2: a lean steak, some vegetables, like I had a sensible
Speaker 2: meal because it was just weird to like sit there
Speaker 2: and eat in front of the guy who works so
Speaker 2: hard all year to try and help me take this
Speaker 2: weight off and build muscle.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: So it was just a very very funny scenario.
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, like, this is like Brodie would get
Speaker 3: himself into this situation because I didn't invite him. My
Speaker 3: friends invited him to dinner. I didn't invite him, but
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, come on, sit down with us.
Speaker 3: And I'm like sitting there, like, no, don't do that.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. When you get a haircut, you know,
Speaker 2: they always make it too short.
Speaker 3: Right. If they make it too short, it's longer before
Speaker 3: you have to come back. So I've always said they
Speaker 3: should make it too long so you come back sooner.
Speaker 3: That makes sense, right, Yeah, Well, if your personal trainer's
Speaker 3: job is to get you in shape, then he should
Speaker 3: not comment on how much you eat, because if you
Speaker 3: gain weight, then you have to go back to him
Speaker 3: for longer period of time to lose the weight.
Speaker 2: Again, you're describing doctor fat loss right now. Scary.
Speaker 3: Hey, I have a question for you. Right well, we
Speaker 3: have a commercial break coming up here. We gotta take
Speaker 3: a break. We gotta take a ring. We gotta take
Speaker 3: a bring, we gotta take a break, We gotta take a.
Speaker 2: Scar and Brody, Hey, now that we're back, hit the jingle.
Speaker 3: Oh you fuck you man, that was the last break,
Speaker 3: doesn't count anymore matter you slipped it in.
Speaker 2: That was several minutes ago. Now it was.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So this is our last break, right? No, we have
Speaker 2: another one.
Speaker 3: No, no, we have two more breaks. Okay, I wanted
Speaker 3: to talk about the favor that I needed. I needed
Speaker 3: two favors in the past couple of weeks. The first
Speaker 3: one I haven't talked about. I don't think.
Speaker 2: Okay, can I talk about the Instagram favor I needed.
Speaker 3: No, Well, somebody in my life reaches out to me
Speaker 3: and says, you got to help me. My Instagram account
Speaker 3: was hacked. My email got hacked, and I can't log
Speaker 3: into my Instagram because I can't use my email to
Speaker 3: forget my password and get them to email me back.
Speaker 3: I got hacked. I'm like, oh, that's crazy that they
Speaker 3: would hack your email and I don't know how they
Speaker 3: got you. They must have used her email to reset
Speaker 3: the password, and they locked her out. They locked her
Speaker 3: out of her account. So she says, hey, listen, you're
Speaker 3: the only person I know with a verified account. And
Speaker 3: apparently on Instagram you can't use the help people, the
Speaker 3: support people unless you're verified. If you're not verified, you fucked,
Speaker 3: which is a really shitty system. By the way, same
Speaker 3: with Facebook. Facebook no longer has any kind of help.
Speaker 3: Remember I told you when I first got nailed for
Speaker 3: the wheelchair that I sold on right, I was able
Speaker 3: to talk to someone on the phone. I said, call
Speaker 3: it a chair with wheels, and I got nailed again
Speaker 3: for chairwit wheels. You can no longer access to people
Speaker 3: to call on the phone. That's gone too, thanks Meta
Speaker 3: your focks. Anyway, Instagram, you have to be verified, so
Speaker 3: I say, I was like, listen, it's a person I like.
Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, I'll do your favorite.
Speaker 2: Let me see what I can do.
Speaker 3: Give me, give me your screen name, and because I
Speaker 3: don't follow them on Instagram, give me a screen name
Speaker 3: and your email address and I'll try to. I'll try to,
Speaker 3: you know, see what I can do as a verified account. Well,
Speaker 3: apparently being verified doesn't get you help. Support doesn't get
Speaker 3: your help or support of any kind.
Speaker 2: So then what does it give you? Just a badge?
Speaker 3: Nope, it allows you to pay fourteen ninety nine a
Speaker 3: month to then get support. But if you're not verified,
Speaker 3: you don't have access to the fourteen ninety nine a month, So.
Speaker 2: You don't even get the chance to even pay for
Speaker 2: it because you're not a vip wow get the chance
Speaker 2: to pay for it if you're verified.
Speaker 3: That's a scam.
Speaker 2: That's a scamboni right there.
Speaker 3: So I said, you know what the least I could
Speaker 3: do is like, if I have to pay for fourteen
Speaker 3: ninety nine, I can cancel it right away. So I
Speaker 3: say to the person, are you willing to pay the fourteen
Speaker 3: ninety nine? Yes? So I go in to do the
Speaker 3: help desk and says what happened? And I said, well,
Speaker 3: my account was hacked. What's the screen name? You have
Speaker 3: the screen name? And it says.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh, and what's the email address?
Speaker 3: Email address? And it says, okay, click here to submit,
Speaker 3: and it goes to a page and it says what
Speaker 3: is the account in question? And I go, this is
Speaker 3: the account, this is the email? Submit and it loads
Speaker 3: and it loads, it comes and it says, okay, great,
Speaker 3: what is the account and what is the email?
Speaker 2: It goes into a fucking loop.
Speaker 3: It doesn't let you out of the loop.
Speaker 2: They set that loop up on purpose, and you know,
Speaker 2: you know it they did.
Speaker 3: They won't help you.
Speaker 2: No, of course not, why would they. They will not
Speaker 2: help you.
Speaker 3: So I had to use my contacts of people who
Speaker 3: work in the media industry.
Speaker 2: Oh you look at you with the low key flex.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I worked at iHeart and I got
Speaker 3: to meet a lot of people. I have interns that
Speaker 3: work at TikTok and Spotify. Anyway, I reached out to
Speaker 3: the right person and they reached out and they said,
Speaker 3: I need these six questions answered, which I got at
Speaker 3: information from the woman I was helping, and within six
Speaker 3: hours the account was restored.
Speaker 2: We had access again.
Speaker 3: Fantastic. Okay, that's the good news. Well that's the easier story,
Speaker 3: as much as that was a pain. So I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've met me scary, I'm opinionated, No, you
Speaker 3: don't say. And I also sometimes I'm a little bit
Speaker 3: obnoxious sometimes, Nah, who are we talking about.
Speaker 2: We're not talking about.
Speaker 3: David Brod believe it or not. Believe it or not. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So sometimes when I see things on social media that
Speaker 3: I don't agree with, using one of my backup accounts.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I say, I might say to that person, you're
Speaker 3: a moron, You're an idiot.
Speaker 2: Well that's what I was going to ask you.
Speaker 3: In a polite I might say, like, you don't know
Speaker 3: what you're talking about. This is why you're wrong, this
Speaker 3: is nothing that should surprise anyone listens to this. And
Speaker 3: so I sometimes get into debates on social media. Again,
Speaker 3: not as not as David Brody, but you know whatever, right,
Speaker 3: I like to vent and I like to have debates
Speaker 3: with people to tell them why they're wrong. It's your
Speaker 3: only outlet. You you would sometimes you would explode. You
Speaker 3: would explode if you couldn't talk. I'm not working, so
Speaker 3: I'm home with a phone in my hand, and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, you're a danger Sometimes I get into it.
Speaker 2: You're dangerous your phone on the phones in the other hand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay. Sometimes I talk sports, and I'll use
Speaker 3: my real account for that because I have debates about sports.
Speaker 3: That's fun. But when it gets into other subjects, I
Speaker 3: like to keep it private. Well, anyway, I'm on TikTok,
Speaker 3: and I don't have a backup account on TikTok because
Speaker 3: that's not what I use TikTok for. I use TikTok
Speaker 3: to watch videos and learn and entertainment and everything. Let
Speaker 3: me get you come across somebody stupid on TikTok. Well,
Speaker 3: I've come across, and you know what happens sometimes on TikTok.
Speaker 3: You know your algorithm sets you up for things you like. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: So let's say we'll put it in terms of meat
Speaker 3: and vegetables. And I like meat. Son of all the
Speaker 3: videos in my four you feed will be meat based, yeah,
Speaker 3: and very rarely there's a vegetable video in my feed. Now,
Speaker 3: I hate vegetables, and if a vegetable video came up,
Speaker 3: I might go in the comment section and debate some people.
Speaker 3: You might. Sometimes a meat video will do it with
Speaker 3: a vegetable video and they'll say, look at this idiot,
Speaker 3: and the vegetable person will be spouting off stupidity, and
Speaker 3: the meat person will say the goodness, moron. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: I clicked the comment of course they that they tagged,
Speaker 3: because I want to. I want to comment on the
Speaker 3: original vegetables. Just couldn't help yourself, You couldn't have. Sometimes
Speaker 3: I hate you hate to fucking broccoli that much?
Speaker 2: Oh broccolis, Yeah, the worst, the worst.
Speaker 3: So I I you know, so sometimes you know, this
Speaker 3: will happen, like, you know, once every couple of weeks,
Speaker 3: I'll be like, what are you stupid? You know day?
Speaker 3: You know, so you're going in as David Brody the
Speaker 3: public figure. Yeah, well yeah I'm not. I'm not verified,
Speaker 3: I'm not a public figure. Doesn't matter, you know, I
Speaker 3: don't I don't get like, I don't like curse people.
Speaker 3: I don't get into like the ship that I do
Speaker 3: on on Twitter. I just feel like, you know, that's
Speaker 3: a stupid opinion, that's stupid, or you know, you're very
Speaker 3: wrong here. Don't you know that the TikTok environment is
Speaker 3: far less tolerant than the Twitter environment. Oh no, no,
Speaker 3: you absolutely pright.
Speaker 2: So everyone's there's a big difference between the TikTok world
Speaker 2: and the Twitter world.
Speaker 3: Well, this is why I'm I'm issuing a warning of people.
Speaker 3: So sometimes when I when I make a comment on
Speaker 3: a vegetable video, I'll get it. I'll get an alert
Speaker 3: that says your comment was removed violating terms of service
Speaker 3: or community standards. Sure, and I'll look back and it'll
Speaker 3: say like, oh, you know what, you're not very bright
Speaker 3: or the word like it could have been in the sentence,
Speaker 3: but the word but it's not like it didn't like
Speaker 3: it'll say, oh, you're you're uninformed, that's a dumb opinion.
Speaker 3: But they flagged the word dumb, so they they they
Speaker 3: flag it. So I'll hit the appeal button and they'll go, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're fine, we'll put it back up. Well, I can't
Speaker 3: always keep track or always check my messages when I
Speaker 3: get flagged and I appeal them, and then you know,
Speaker 3: you don't always check to see if how the appeal
Speaker 3: worked out. Yeah, well, apparently I had two legitimate strikes
Speaker 3: against me in the past couple of weeks, and the
Speaker 3: strikes take three months to disappear. Man, you got you
Speaker 3: had a lot of time on your hands.
Speaker 2: If you've got two strikes against you already, you must
Speaker 2: be arguing with a lot of people.
Speaker 3: No, it didn't take me very long. Base.
Speaker 2: The strikes were like within an hour of each other.
Speaker 3: Oh fuck, anyway, So I'm on, I'm on TikTok. I
Speaker 3: don't know, let's say, last Friday or Saturday, when you
Speaker 3: have been at that steak dinner with us. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: should have been, yet I don't know what night it was. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So I see this vegetable video that's duetted, and I'm
Speaker 3: dumbfounded by how vegetable this video is. It's so fucking
Speaker 3: offensively vegetable. Broccoli, broccoli, broccoli. I'm a big fan of vegetables, cauliflower.
Speaker 3: I click on the comments and the comments are so
Speaker 3: vegetarian ish, so offensive to me. So I said, you know,
Speaker 3: I said, I can't believe how painfully stupid you are.
Speaker 3: But I spelled stupid deliberately. Hold on, I just did
Speaker 3: you put a dollar sign for the ass to try
Speaker 3: and disguise it? I put, I put a line for
Speaker 3: the for the eye, and stupid I spelled it O
Speaker 3: O P, I s A.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't pick it up. I got you. I know
Speaker 2: what you're trying to do.
Speaker 3: Guess what about a second and a half after I
Speaker 3: hit send, TikTok's too smart for you, I got a.
Speaker 2: Thing that said your account is permanently banned.
Speaker 3: Oh suspended, not a warning, pumally banned.
Speaker 2: So you're off TikTok.
Speaker 3: So I freaked out, Like all my videos everything is blank, blank,
Speaker 3: everything gone, gone, gone, gone, my follow list gone, an
Speaker 3: he saved videos like you know, all my star Wars videos,
Speaker 3: my Marvel videos, my comedy. Everything I've saved in like
Speaker 3: a collection gone. I'm freaking out. Now I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: now you've done it. Yeah, so you've done it again
Speaker 3: and again. So I appeal. I go through the website,
Speaker 3: I go through the app, I go through. So I'm
Speaker 3: trying every avenue. I'm emailing and LinkedIn, messaging everybody. I know,
Speaker 3: people on TikTok whose wives work it. Sure you know,
Speaker 3: like everything, nobody can help me. Finally, I see somebody
Speaker 3: used to work with our company, who has it worked
Speaker 3: at our old company in like ten years, And I
Speaker 3: message your on LinkedIn.
Speaker 2: I go listen.
Speaker 3: I see you're a TikTok. I know it's not your job.
Speaker 3: If you could help me, I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: I sent appeals to TikTok. I was not truthful, I
Speaker 3: said my daughter posted them that she was on my account.
Speaker 3: Of course, your way out of this anyway, you could
Speaker 3: every You got.
Speaker 2: Nine rejection emails. Throw every lie in the book at them.
Speaker 3: They've heard you know how important your account is and
Speaker 3: how I'm upsetting this must be. But your account, after
Speaker 3: further review, is still permanently banned. So I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: so you found did you get a lifeline? Brody? Because
Speaker 3: I see you you're on TikTok. Now you're back. Okay,
Speaker 3: I see you're back. So I don't know what happened first.
Speaker 3: So this person, this former co worker, says, let me
Speaker 3: look into it, give me your screen name and whatever.
Speaker 2: And while I'm waiting for her to get back to
Speaker 2: me in five minutes, I go with my.
Speaker 3: TikTok account and I see I'm looking to get at
Speaker 3: my three strikes, because she says to me, tell me
Speaker 3: what the strikes were for. Tell me, Tiger. Well, I
Speaker 3: call this one person stupid, right, okay. And as I'm
Speaker 3: reading all my shoes, you used the C word on anybody?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: No, I would never, never, never, never matter. I mean
Speaker 3: the way we throw it around this podcast. I mean
Speaker 3: it's a compliment. Now it's a compliment, I know. I see,
Speaker 3: it's serving, it'serving, it's giving, it's giving giving. So I
Speaker 3: see one of my one of my comments, and I
Speaker 3: tell her all the comments and I message her, I
Speaker 3: screenshot them. Okay, she says. She says, Oh, I can't
Speaker 3: really you called them, Yeah, it was just stupid. That
Speaker 3: doesn't seem serious. Listen this pedophiles on TikTok. There, there's
Speaker 3: there's people who hate the country. There's awful people on TikTok.
Speaker 3: All I did was call a couple of people stupid.
Speaker 3: That's not the worst thing in the world. Anyway. As
Speaker 3: I'm looking over my comments, I see that one of them,
Speaker 3: to me, doesn't look that bad. I said, your opinion
Speaker 3: is dumb and I and I think you need to
Speaker 3: rethink your stupid opinion. But I didn't say they were stupid.
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, I'm gonna appeal that one,
Speaker 3: all right, And I appealed it, and within three minutes
Speaker 3: it came off as one of my three strikes, and
Speaker 3: my account got reinstated.
Speaker 2: Ah, but now you're still at strike two.
Speaker 3: Yes, so when you log in, it says account ban
Speaker 3: warning on the top of my page. Of course, I
Speaker 3: have to wait till June twenty first, because that was

Speaker 3: I'm gonna be very brief about this. We're not we're
Speaker 3: not the sports podcast. But listen, I'm gonna say one thing.
Speaker 3: Yesterday was the opening of Major League Baseball and was
Speaker 3: well two weeks ago, right right, Tokyo. The two games,
Speaker 3: for all intended purposes, the rest of baseball, aside from
Speaker 3: the fucking Dodgers and the Cubs, started yesterday a major
Speaker 3: league Why do you do this to me, bro You
Speaker 3: get me angry. People don't have to waste that there
Speaker 3: was two fucking games in Tokyo last week, two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Fuck you, For all intensive purposes, Opening Day was yesterday
Speaker 3: across America. And all I'm gonna tell you, fucking angry
Speaker 3: bitching Yankee fans is that it's a long season. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's right.
Speaker 2: And Brodie already knows where I'm going with this, because
Speaker 2: yesterday it was the ninth inning and the Mets were
Speaker 2: down two runs to the Astros and Wan Soto comes
Speaker 2: up to the plate with two outs in the ninth
Speaker 2: and it was all set up for the following.
Speaker 3: This is why we pay this guy. We got this
Speaker 3: guy for situations exactly like this, Because it was two
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 2: And he had three balls and no strikes on him.
Speaker 2: With two runners on base, the Mets had a chance
Speaker 2: to score some runs, tie the game, maybe go ahead
Speaker 2: with a home run right there in the ninth inning
Speaker 2: in dramatic fashion. And everyone knows about Juan Soto, the
Speaker 2: highest plaid player in baseball.
Speaker 3: We stole him from the Yankees. He actually made a
Speaker 3: wise choice in coming to the nets and there it was,
Speaker 3: that was his spot. Wan Soto comes up to bat,
Speaker 3: strike and then it was like one strike, one strike too.
Speaker 3: He ends up striking out to end the game.
Speaker 2: And I didn't hear the fucking end of it from
Speaker 2: my Yankee fan friends.
Speaker 3: Glad you have the sellout. Now the sellout's on your
Speaker 3: This is what an awesome start Juan Soto. Looking at him.
Speaker 2: You're paying them all that money, and that's what he
Speaker 2: does in the big spot.
Speaker 3: Ha ha. Of course, as a Met fan right prior
Speaker 3: to that, I was excited because I'm like, this is
Speaker 3: why we pay him. Here we go. It's on one
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty one more games. Thank you, Brody. That
Speaker 3: was my point. There's one hundred and sixty one fucking
Speaker 3: more games left.
Speaker 2: No concluding the postseason that they will get in correct.
Speaker 2: So to all you fucking haters out there that are
Speaker 2: still butt hurt that Wan Soda didn't sign, I'm specifically
Speaker 2: talking to Yankee fans. I'm just letting you know he's
Speaker 2: gonna come up in a big spot again and the
Speaker 2: results will be the opposite of what you saw yesterday
Speaker 2: on opening Day.
Speaker 3: All Right, I rest my case on late More poly
Speaker 3: not to be sports. The last sports thing I'll say
Speaker 3: in May, not that long from now, the Mets are
Speaker 3: going to Yankee Stadium for a two game series. Huh,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be pandemonium. Sure, you want to see Yankee
Speaker 3: fans get upset when he comes to the plate. Now,
Speaker 3: the nice ones will cheer him because he did a
Speaker 3: great job for them, but he's gonna get mercilessly blue
Speaker 3: when he comes up on the next uniform. And you
Speaker 3: know something the can't wait for that he's going to
Speaker 3: silence the whole crowd with one swing of the back.
Speaker 3: So whatever sport you root for, if you root for sports,
Speaker 3: imagine your team's one of your team's best players leaving
Speaker 3: for your hated enemy rival team and then coming back
Speaker 3: into your building in their uniform. What was going through
Speaker 3: your head? Yesterday when he was up in the ninth inning, Brody,
Speaker 3: I thought it would be nice, it was fitting. I
Speaker 3: thought it was like a pretty good chance he would
Speaker 3: do something. But it was like, all he struck out.
Speaker 3: All right, game one, Game one, all right. As we
Speaker 3: get out of here, I just want to thank everybody,
Speaker 3: well not I don't know if you're all listening, But
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is exactly the Jonas Brothers crowd.
Speaker 3: But I hosted Jonas Khan last weekend at the American
Speaker 3: Dream The Jonas Brothers literally.
Speaker 2: Took over there with the jingle button get ready with
Speaker 2: the jingle. They took over them. Mall that's all he did.
Speaker 2: And the whole day they had to hate when you
Speaker 2: call them all, I know.
Speaker 3: Activations, pop ups, concerts, no one knows what those mean.
Speaker 3: It was it was basically many appearances by the Jonas Brothers.
Speaker 3: They must have done eight concerts during the day. They
Speaker 3: took over the nick they took a little DreamWorks water park,
Speaker 3: they took over that.
Speaker 2: They did a couple of sessions in there.
Speaker 3: Whatever whatever point point is, let me tell you.
Speaker 2: And I also got to interview their parents. I got
Speaker 2: to interview the cast of Camp rock, and it was
Speaker 2: just it was.
Speaker 3: A one in Franklin Jonas. Don't call him that, you're
Speaker 3: about to call him that, don't call he doesn't like that.
Speaker 3: Franklin Jonas doesn't want to be called Frankie or Bonus Jonas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's He's got his own career and his own music.
Speaker 2: And I just want to say something here, and and
Speaker 2: it is people see celebrities and.
Speaker 3: They wonder are they are they as cool as they
Speaker 3: are on the mic, on the camera as they are
Speaker 3: off the camera and when they're at home and in
Speaker 3: their own world.
Speaker 2: And we know some people have terrible examples of in
Speaker 2: their awful track record, in their personal lives of what
Speaker 2: they do behind closed doors and stuff. Yeah, celebrities get
Speaker 2: in trouble.
Speaker 3: They always getting in trouble. Some of these celebrities get
Speaker 3: in trouble and TikTok and all that.
Speaker 2: But the Jonas brothers, my gods, the nicest, purest, sweetest guys.
Speaker 2: You know, Brody, and you can attest to this because
Speaker 2: you've been a part of that. I have stories, guys.
Speaker 3: We yeah, I know we're about to wrap it up,
Speaker 3: but like, for instance, when they came about out on
Speaker 3: stage and I introduced them.
Speaker 2: Each one came up to me and gave me a
Speaker 2: big hug.
Speaker 3: You know, it's nice to have that in front of
Speaker 3: a big crowd of five thousand people in front of you.
Speaker 2: But there really is a they grew up listening. But
Speaker 2: I saw the way they were with their fans when
Speaker 2: they didn't have to be nice. But they are nice.
Speaker 2: They always are.
Speaker 3: The salt of the earth, these guys. Way they were
Speaker 3: raised right, they really were, and it just goes to
Speaker 3: show you their upbringing and they they've matured into like
Speaker 3: really amazing men and they have. They're going out on
Speaker 3: a concert tour with Marshmellow World Tour. They'll be back
Speaker 3: here at MetLife in on August tenth. I'm gonna I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna share a couple of Jonas brothers stories, but I
Speaker 2: just want to just say something nice about them.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: There's no point, there's no hook to the story, there's
Speaker 3: no like gotcha moment coming. They are really, really, really
Speaker 3: great and you should support them. I want to say.
Speaker 3: Two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, we were

Speaker 3: time was the year three two thousan three thousand, the
Speaker 3: year three thousand, yeah, right in the year three thousand. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I knew the song because my kids listened to Disney
Speaker 3: and Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, I guess, and that song
Speaker 3: was a hit. So sometimes unknown artists, a young artists
Speaker 3: will be brought into the radio station with their record
Speaker 3: label people to meet the big shots, the bosses, so
Speaker 3: they can Hey, I want you to meet these new kids.
Speaker 3: They're gonna be huge. Some they came up to the

Speaker 3: from Elvis's. It was in a big room. I had

Speaker 2: And this was the Sabrina Carpenter moment for me.
Speaker 3: This passed jingle Ball the one before this when because
Speaker 3: we knew her entire career and she's like that now
Speaker 3: and now you know, she had already erupted into this
Speaker 3: big celebrity, big superstar. You know, clear the hallway everybody,
Speaker 3: and she's coming through with her entourage and Danielle I
Speaker 3: were standing backstage. She's hanging out in the hallway. She
Speaker 3: passes us, sees us. After she passed us, doubles back
Speaker 3: to come up and say hello and give us a hug,
Speaker 3: because that's who she is, so well, some people never
Speaker 3: let and you know, it's also like Lady.
Speaker 2: Gaga, oh the best.
Speaker 3: She's another one listening to the show, friggin' I mean you,
Speaker 3: she's another one who spends time, sits there, talks to
Speaker 3: us because she knows us and it's it's it's just
Speaker 3: nice to know that the people.
Speaker 2: Some people, they didn't let it go to their head.
Speaker 2: That was really the moral of the story.
Speaker 3: So last time, when I worked at the radio station,
Speaker 3: Sabrina Corpman came up and she asked, He goes, oh,
Speaker 3: where are your girls? Because she had met them at
Speaker 3: jingle Ball. I said, oh, they couldn't be here. She goes, oh,
Speaker 3: can we record something for them? So this is if
Speaker 3: you can hear it.
Speaker 2: I want to play Hey, Amanda, I love you so much.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Now you can't hear it. See, that's why
Speaker 3: you hear it. That's why you need the seven million
Speaker 3: dollar equipment.
