WEBVTT - #123: Zoom Your Poon 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:08.480 Start Data, Start Up. Brooklyn buys start Up, Brooklyn buys 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:17.160 start Data. They're making noise Data stat Up. Episode one 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:24.120 twenty three. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Oh I'm cold 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.520 to continue? What what are you called? What are you're 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.440 called for? Because I'm sitting in my basement recording studio. 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.280 When I say recording studio, I mean a folding chair, 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.120 a snack table, and allege. And I'm freezing down here. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.120 What it's the warmest April on record. It's gonna be 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.919 sixty degrees today. It's been warm. There's no way your 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.040 basement is that called. Okay, my basement is a finished basement, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.639 but it's not properly insulated from the people who own 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.440 the house before us, so it's cold. There's not a 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.440 lot of heating vents down here. I'm cold. I'm just 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.399 letting you know i'm cold. That you can put on 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.080 a sweater if you want. Oh, I could put on 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.520 a sweater. Oh that's a good idea. Then I go 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.759 upstairs and I'm broiling hot because, like you said, it's 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.880 a warm April. By the way, yesterday in New York 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.880 was freezing. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, yeah, 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.520 but that was yesterday. Today's a warm day. In fact, 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.280 I would know I'm still in the house where this 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.440 is Saturday. We're recording this. This is um interesting, another 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:31.040 another Quarantine edition of the Brook and Boys podcast. I thought, 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.400 you know, uh, working from home and not having to 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.360 drive in every day, you and I would have so 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.280 much more time to record podcasts. And now we have 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.399 less time to record podcasts because we're not like, oh, 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.520 the show's over, here's the studio, let's go right now. 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.600 It's about coordinating schedules and coordinating when you're home and 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.920 when my family is not um going to be interrupted 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.200 or bothered by me recording. So the studio availability thing 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.720 after a show is what motivates us. We like, you know, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.680 we x amount of time to get it done. So 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.760 we go in and we do the job and we 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.840 come out. Whereas here every day bleeds into the next, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.640 into the next. Don't know if I'm coming or going, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.560 what time of day it is. It's like, do I 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.600 want to get off my bed and stop watching Netflix 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.200 and come over to my broadcast equipment and do the 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.560 podcast on? No, wait a second, I can. I have 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.280 dishes in the h that I have to take out 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.919 of the dishwasher. Oh wait, oh, what do I want 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.120 for dinner tonight? So it's like your my there is 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.320 no separation of church and state, work and play. So 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.600 because when I'm at work, I'm in the work mode, 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.000 I mean those studios, and you and I both feel 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.280 the same way. We're like, okay, we have to do things, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.680 all things work while we're here. When when you're home 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.560 your home and you have you're thinking of the home 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.720 things and you're doing you're doing recreational and leisure stuff. 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.400 But when the two worlds collide, you don't know where 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.560 one begins in the other ends. Plus, when you have 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.800 a family and responsibilities when you're at work, they understand, 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.800 they understand that, like, oh, okay, life is on hold 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.280 for a little while. You have work to do, so 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.400 I can get it done. But when you're home, I'm like, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.840 oh what can I help with? What can I do? 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.280 Or where can I you know? So, and plus I'm 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.280 I'm desperately trying to keep busy and and so you know, 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.000 it's it's watching television, it's doing home projects, and before 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.480 you know it, you're like, oh, the garage looks better, 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.160 but I didn't do the podcast today. So the yeah, 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.799 but the upside of doing a podcast at home is 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.080 you can you could do two things at once, where 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.639 like I wouldn't be able to clip my tone nails 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.880 and do the podcast at the radio station, but I'm 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.360 about to do that right now and here, because I 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.120 happen to be in the comfort amount home. Oh that's 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.680 that's awesome for the listeners. That's great. I have hold 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.440 on a second. Why aren't we on zoom for this? 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.560 I can see it? Oh my god, No, that's the lad. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:52.880 If I was ever going to zoom it on anything, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:58.880 it wouldn't be that. Oh oh, I'm legitimately clipping my 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.960 tone nails, oh as opposed to as opposed to illegitimately 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:09.080 clipping them. Got one, got one, one down, nine to go. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.240 These are the things we could do right Like you 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.000 can you can make a sandwich right now while we're 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.000 on the podcast, and you know, you could incorporate it 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.480 into the podcast. See, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.360 able to clip my toe nails as I'm doing right now, 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.320 but I'm sure our slices are going. Oh my god, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.160 what a bonus. I could hear Brody make a sandwich 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.039 and I'm hearing Scary cut his toe nails. This little 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.960 piggy went to market, This little stay at home. Okay, 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.839 did you cut the really long second toe you have 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.760 that's longer than your big toe? Yeah, this little piggy 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.880 had roast beef. Have you ever seen a doctor about that? Did? 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.880 Did all the piggies have roast beef? Because I've heard 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.400 different variations. Okay, so this little piggy had roast beef. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.640 This little piggy had none. Um, this little piggy cried, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.960 we we we all home, Um, isn't it. This little 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.640 piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. And 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.400 then this little piggy cried, we we we all the 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:05.200 way home. That's the five, that's three D. This little 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:10.040 this little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. Yeah, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.839 this little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.240 And the fifth piggy, if you know how to count, 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:21.320 Scary Jones went crying, we we we all No, this 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.279 little piggy had went to market. That's one. Was he 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.320 wearing a mask? He better be wearing a mask and gloves, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.400 because that's what you have to do. And what he 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.960 shouldn't be doing is, oh, I'm gonna get upset in 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.240 a minute, is throwing The second piggy stayed home right, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.799 But the first piggy, I hope he threw his mask 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.279 and his gloves out in a garbage pail and not 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.240 in the in the parking lot of the supermarket or 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.320 the doctors. I put up being a lot of mask 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.480 and gloves, Carkeett, I'm seeing you've got to be. I 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.640 put a picture up, put a picture up of the 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.600 parking lot near my house. I went to the supermarket. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.159 What kind of piggy do you have to be to 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.800 throw your masks and gloves on the floor. I put 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.160 up picture on my Instagram at of course, at David 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:07.440 Brody of uh, masks mostly gloves laying in the parking 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.520 lot of the supermarket, And I said, you know what 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:16.000 kind of animal does this? Right? And so the same 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.800 kind of animal that clips his toe nails on a 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:22.800 podcast is the kind of animal? Yes? And so I'm 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.599 about to get onto my left foot movie. No, I 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.360 did not see that movie my left anyway, the comments 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.760 and the anger from from the from our followers that 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.760 commented on that picture, so many people are angry. So 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.120 I'm wondering do people who do that not comment on 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.560 the picture because they feel guilty, or do none of 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.600 our followers do that, because every single post was yeah, 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.440 those people are bastards. Not one person was like, well, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:56.440 sometimes there's no garbage pail around. That's not people are No. No, 0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.520 I'm saying, nobody did that. Nobody said, well, no garbage 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.200 pill around. There's always excuse, there's always a garbage pill around. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.720 In fact, it's not one person that not on my no, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.400 not on my page. That's the part. Are you listening 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.960 to the podcast? Could you back on my tonails? Because 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.800 I might cut myself. That's the second time you asked 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.840 me something that I had just said. I feel like 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.560 your whole theory about being able to multitask is out 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.880 the window now because you can't listen and cut your 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.560 toes by the way, cutting your tonails rather, it's so loud. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.720 What are you using to cut your tone nails? The 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.480 big clippers? Like I think that was the big The 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.400 big are they hedge clippers? What are you using the 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.760 big clipper? The big clipper requires a a you know, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.080 a big three clips in one. You can't you can't 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.600 do it on one take, dude, you have a giant 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.880 ass toe or a giant toe, asked one or the other. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.040 It sounds like one of those things that like they 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.480 handles extend so you can reach up into a tree 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.440 and cut the branches. That's what it sounds like. What 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.640 you're using to cut your feet, right, cut your toes? Well, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.280 you know, if you would go into a long winded 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.280 story like you did last week about about everything waking 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.520 up and complaining to Samsung, then I can finish this 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.760 people on Twitter. People on Twitter agreed with me. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:13.840 I got an email to read. I got an email 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.040 to read to you, buddy, can't I can't wait. Speaking 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.400 of people complaining, I want to just sidetrack here for 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.720 a second. If you are we're not doing anything. I know. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.520 If you're If you're a follower of ours and you're 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.560 a slice and you listen to the Elvis Red Morning Show, um, 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.040 that's great. And I love joking around with people, and 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.559 I love interacting with everybody on social media. You know, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.720 I right back to everybody every post, every tweet. But 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.280 I don't think correct me if I'm wrong. Scary that 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.839 gives you the right to insult me as if you're 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.280 my buddy, as if you're like the guy I've been 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.680 known twenty years, Like, Oh, we're in the car and 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.439 you make a comment to me, and I go, you're 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.040 a dick, and we move on. But are they Is 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.640 this person trying to joke with you, trying to insult you? 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.439 Like what okay can mean? Example A right, So I'm 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.440 not going to get the specific of the insult. But 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.560 I put up a picture on Instagram and somebody made 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.319 a comment I didn't quite understand. I thought there was 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.800 a five percent chance it could have been said to 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.280 be an insult, but I wasn't sure, so to give 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.600 them the benefit of the doubt, I wrote back and 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.240 I said, what do you mean by that? And he 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.839 wrote back, Oh, what I'm saying is and then insulted me, 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.640 like insulted me, but then put an L O L 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.280 Slice for Life kind of thing after it. But it 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.000 was a hurtful commentary, so I political. Nope, No, it 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.839 was hurtful to me. It wasn't wasn't political? Then why 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.920 can't you share with everybody? Scary scary, I'm not going 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.800 to do that. It was hurtful to me. Why would 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.360 I repeat it. The point is adding that you're a 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.800 slice and adding an L O L only means your 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.840 intention wasn't to hurt my feelings. But I feel like 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.439 you should know that what you said, yeah, well, even 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.120 if you didn't mean it, it's a hurtful thing to 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.640 say to somebody. It's like, oh, um, you're you're It's 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.640 like if I said, oh, scary, um, you have a 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.920 face that makes you look like your brain damaged. Right, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.560 But if I said it to you, I mean, it 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.640 wasn't about my face, but if it was about you, 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.160 you know, I'm we're friends for twenty years. You know 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.520 I'm joking, you'd say shut up taking right. Well, but 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.200 if somebody, if somebody on social media said that to you, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.480 that's not funny, right. I almost think that they think 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.640 they know you. You You see, that's almost a compliment to 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.000 you because they feel like they can joke with you 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.360 because they're you know what I'm saying, like they feel 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.720 a connection to you. But it's a it's a public forum. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.920 So you're insulting me in a public forum. Like if 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.080 you d M me and you're like ha ha ha, 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.120 I might write back and go, hey man, you know 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.320 I don't really think that's a joke kind of thing, right, 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.480 But you do it in a public forum on my 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.680 Instagram page, then it's like, oh, everyone's gonna see that, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.839 and everyone's gonna maybe in the back of their mind. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.200 And it was just it doesn't matter again what what 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.520 was said. I'm sure he didn't mean it to be hurtful, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.240 but I gave him a chance to explain what he meant, 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.360 and he clearly went out of his way to say, 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:08.120 oh no, I was insulting you. Yeah, get it right. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.040 So being clever at someone else's expense when you don't 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.199 really know them is not always the best thing. That's 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.680 all I'm saying, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.040 that's all. And if and if he's still a slice 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.280 and he's listening, hey man, I don't know anger against you. 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.440 I just I don't feel like I want to continue 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.960 the interaction on social media if that's your angle of 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.760 interacting with me. So that's all we move on, all right? Well? 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.920 You know, um, speaking of slices for life, somebody who 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.319 was it? Um? See here, Um, I want to shout 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:45.839 out to Max Max Um. Max's girlfriend Stephanie reached out 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.000 to me on cameo. You know, that's the app where 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.240 you record video messages for people. I did one. I 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:55.760 did one next week. Yes, celebrities or whoever or names like, 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.320 we'll we'll record messages, video messages, personalized ones, and then 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.800 you get to present it to that person, which is nice. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.480 So for so So, Stephanie wanted to celebrate Max's thirtieth 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.920 birthday in quarantine. Wow, so he's a slice for life, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.199 and she thought she'd surprised him with a cameo. So 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.520 I made a cameo. But I gotta I gotta tell 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.440 you something. I did take one, and I put it 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.800 in the trash before I sent it to her, because dude, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.560 when when, when we're in quarantine and isolating and not 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.640 giving bucks about ourselves, we look like shit. I get 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.360 on camera and and I'm reading this and then I'm like, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.719 oh my god, look at me. And I'm like and 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.600 I'm talking into my camera, and I looked back at 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.440 him like is that really me? My beard had grown 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.120 four days. It looked like I had like chipmunk cheeks. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.880 My hair was out of control, and of course no, 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.720 granted I hadn't taken a shower yet. I Brodie, I 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.600 specifically said, I gotta ad dressed. I took a shower, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.480 got dressed, shaved, hold my hair, put new clothes on, 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.680 and then I did the cameo and now here we 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.240 are doing the podcast. But I did it because I 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.439 had to be on screen for thirty second. Yeah, but 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.880 how pathetic are we? Wait a minute that why on 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.240 the on the Zoom the Morning Show, did you were 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:27.160 sitting in the dark? You saw that? Right? Yeah? Yeah, 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.040 well it was half and half. It was like zero 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.079 fox given everybody. We had a Morning Show Zoom conference 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.880 and I'm sure people listening are getting into some form 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.520 of WebEx meetings or teams. And and Ali posted the 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.160 picture on the Elvi stra In Morning show account. Um, 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.280 and people commented because you were sitting in the shadow 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.160 and my camera was off, so they're like, what happened 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.200 to those guys? And and I saw that because I 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.680 was backlit something terribly, which, by the way, UM, I'm 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.559 buying one of those ring lights that every all YouTubers 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.200 and TikTok ockers by. Um, okay, call me what you want. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.319 I'm not I'm not a diva. Actually there is a 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.640 light called the Diva, which is kind of funny. But 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.520 these those are the circular lights where you put your 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.600 phone in the middle and it gives you some nice lighting. Um, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.600 it seems that because we're doing all this stuff from 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.760 home now and we have to be on camera, and 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.320 because I am backlit because of the nature of my 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.080 my my environment, I can't help it, my computer stationary, 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.200 I am gonna be back lit every time fans. I 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.680 was thinking to buy one of these these rings, those 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.760 ring lights. I have to buy one. I'm looking for 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.280 one online. In fact, that's what I was doing before 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.520 we started the podcast, and and so yes, so that's 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.400 gonna be a solution. But I looked at myself in 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.440 the mirror before we went on that Zoom meeting that day, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.520 and I said, you know what, it's better off than 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.360 I'm in the shadows today. I don't even want to 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.440 be seen. You laugh, But I'm serious. No, I laughed 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.400 because when Elvis was like, Brody, a camera's not on, 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.080 I'm like, oh, yeah, I can't. I gotta find the button. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.480 I don't know if it's working. Brody, when have you 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.480 when of you not been up to date on technology? 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.080 I'm calling bullshit on you. Oh it was absolutely. It 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.240 was my first zoom right. So I didn't know, um, 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:04.920 that you have to turn the mic on and the 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.840 camera on individually. I just assumed when you went in 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.160 it was on, so at the bottom of the screen 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.440 you have to turn them on. So I turned the 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.480 audio on right and then on. I don't I guess 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.480 it's the same on all phones. After you're on for 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.960 a few minutes, the icons drop away and it goes 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.040 full screen, so I no longer saw the video button, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.160 so I didn't realize I wasn't on video. And then 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.400 when Elvis was like, Brody, cameras not on, I'm like, oh, 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.400 I don't know where the button is, because I legitimately 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.640 didn't know where the button was. But what does it matter? 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.600 No one needs to see me on a group thing 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.480 like you said, I wasn't dressed. I was, we had 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.760 done the show, I'm working from home. I have I 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.760 didn't shave at a full full beard at that point, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.520 I think, not a full beer, but you know it 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.480 was beardy um, and I hadn't showered, so I was like, 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.520 why bother turning the camera on? If this thing has 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.040 an option not to put the camera on, then who 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.920 needs the camera? There was no need for it. So 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.480 I'm all good about that. We're gonna be doing a 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.800 lot more of this kind of thing, not just us, 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.960 but everybody. I mean, our whole life is upside down now, 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.120 and and so you gotta do what you gotta do 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.600 to get on camera because there's gonna be a lot 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.240 more these video things. You know. They asked me in 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.200 the you know that our sales team, you know they 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.400 you know, when we do our endorsements and things like that, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.760 the ones that I gratuitously drop into this podcast here 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.360 and there. They said, Hey, scared, do you want to 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.240 do your first Zoom happy hour with a client? And 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.360 I'm not going to mention the client hasn't the deal 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.800 isn't done yet. I said, what are you talking about? Like, well, 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.600 you know normally how you'd go to a bar for 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.280 happy hour and host an event for us for a 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.040 couple of hours with the listeners. I'm like yeah, They're like, well, 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.800 we want you to do that, but in a Zoom 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.520 room that can hold up to a hundred people and 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.560 you'll all be hanging out with cocktail hour and having 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.680 a having a party at virtually Like so all I 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:54.200 have to do is sitting front of my screen and 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.480 with like you know, Brady Bunch style with everybody and 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.840 on the screen, on the cameras, and that's it. I said, 0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:01.600 is this where we're going with this? Is this? Is 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.000 this the road we're marching down is? And they're like, oh, 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.040 it's the new norm. Man, come on man. And I'm like, 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:12.440 all right, I'm I'm gonna get there. Yes, but it's 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.439 gonna be yes. The thing though, this is uncharted territory, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.479 and they think that because I give two hours of 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.800 my time but I'm sitting in front of my computer, 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.040 they could pay me far less than if I had 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.000 shown up in person. So this is now going on 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.040 throughout our our throughout the team. They because we have 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.680 to set a precedent here and and I don't know 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.200 if it's I don't I know how to value that 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.600 as currency because I only know, Hey, they give us. 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.320 Let's just say it's let's for arguments, say a hundred 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.920 dollars to show up to an event for two hours, right, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.919 those are a personal time. We make the effort, We 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.320 drive there, we hang out for two hours, We have 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.440 a couple of drinks, we get on the microphone, we 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.600 through out some T shirts, and we leave right, hang 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.800 out with the listeners, right, we come home. That's two hours. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.080 Let's say it's a hundred dollars. What what would it 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.639 how much is it worth or how much do they 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.000 need to pay me to do the same thing except 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.639 saying in front of my computer and I never have 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.280 to leave my house? Okay, So do you think it's 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.479 a tenth of the price I'm gonna I'm gonna give you. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.600 I'm gonna give you three answers. The first answer is, 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.359 if you were working for me, I would find a 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.520 way to pay you less. Okay, if it was your 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.600 David Brody, the king of the bargains, right, if it 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.640 was me, I'd find a way to get paid more, 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.919 because now you're infringing on my on my uh my 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:36.479 family time, um more that time I would have been right. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.119 So it's not really because I would have done I 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.480 would have actually gone when they when they give when 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.439 they give us the money to do an appearance, right, 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.000 they don't specifically pay you for the commute time. Right. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:47.600 They don't like if you have to drive an hour 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.600 and a half. They like that it's on you. If 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.919 if you want to do the gig, you gotta get there, right, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.480 so I'm going to Philly. I'm getting the same prices 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:58.480 I'm going to my corner store, because because they don't 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.040 pay you for the trip, then they can't deduct for 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.040 the lack of trip. Okay, I gotta write these down 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.360 because I'm supposed to have a meeting with the head 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.879 of sales on this because I said we need to 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.000 talk about the payment on this, right, they wanted to 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.080 do it for free. No, well, here's another analogy for you, 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:17.639 which is my third answer. I said I would give 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:25.080 you three. Yeah. I did um to doctor telecols this week, right. Um. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.240 One of them was with an allergist because I think 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.040 I may be developing allergies after all my life, and 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:35.159 so the allergist examined me on the phone on you know, 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:42.480 on this video screen right from his home office. Okay, 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.520 he did not give me a scratch test, he didn't 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:48.919 do blood work. He gave me his opinion. Right. I 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.040 saw a second doctor who I needed him to look 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.159 in my eyes and my ears and my you know, 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:56.840 and I have been having headaches. Turns out the headaches 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.280 were the allergies I didn't know I had. So I'm fine, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.000 don't worry. The point is they could not give me 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.800 the proper exam because I wasn't in their offices yet yet. 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.320 You and I both know they're going to charge me 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.400 the full price, so they don't their love in life 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.840 right now. Well, the doctor's gonna say it's still his time, 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.880 as time is valuable. I would like to be able 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.159 to say, but dude, you didn't. You didn't take my 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.200 blood pressure, So you're gonna actually bargain him down, you know, 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.600 actually make a case. I'm no, I'm saying it would 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.199
