Is that what they say, kicking ass 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.360 and taking names? Yeah? So I did injure myself. So 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.280 I will talk about that I did something stupid, but 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.600 I'm gonna I like to get into the stupidity right 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.040 right here and by the way, later on. Just so 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:27.639 you know, our friend Scott Atkins, who plays new friend, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.760 newfound friend killer in the in the film john Wick four, 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.080 which is coming out this weekend, He's gonna be joining us. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.240 He's gonna be joining us. I already have my tickets. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.399 I can't wait. I'm a I'm a John Wick fan. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.639 You're a nut U Yeah, I love Don't don't weird me. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.480 Don't turn into you know, and if you don't know 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.560 the weird Al thing, it's it's the way I get 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.280 in front of weird Al Yankovic, my all time favorite musician. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.600 From when I was a boy, you know, I was 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.920 like a weird Al. Don't don't turn into that guy 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.720 with with Scott Atkins, I'm I don't think I will. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.600 But here's the thing, Um, I'm excited about the movie. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.680 I feel like I can be I can be good 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:11.079 with Scott. Scott is a legendary movie uh martial artist. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.359 He's got like fifty sixty films he's been in maybe more, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.280 and he's he's always kicking somebody's ass. And he's one 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.280 of those guys that you you may not the name 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:22.880 is a ring a bell, but then when you see 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.920 him his movies, if you've seen his movies, yeah, but 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.720 he's definitely a familiar face. But in this case, in 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.560 this film, he's unrecognizable because he wears he wears a 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.400 fat suit. Well we'll talk about that later. All right, okay, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.200 all right, So I went on a cruise this week 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.960 and I did some things I wouldn't normally do. I 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.000 was very bold. My family likes to make fun of 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.520 the fact I'm afraid of most things. So this you 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:50.320 spend money. Ha ha ha uh. This particular ship, we 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.880 were on Royal Caribbean International. We were on Anthem of 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.320 the Seas, which leaves out of New Jersey, which, by 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.360 the way, if you live in New Jersey, it's a 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.480 quick trip, no plane. And we left at a Bayonne. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.160 We went under the Arizono Bridge, which is awesome. But 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.240 you left at Bayonne. And you know what they say 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.800 about Bayonne is if it's from Bayonne, leave it alone. Yeah, yes, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.680 that's what they say. I mean, I didn't make this up, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:20.360 don't but Bayonne. I'm not looking to promote the Bayone tourism. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.640 But they have a massive new development on the water 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.760 of town homes and apartments. It looked really nice with 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.600 a view of the Arizono Bridge in Brooklyn, Staten Island. 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.880 If you don't know the area, you're like, what is 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.320 he talking about. There's a lot of developmental things going. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.840 Shout out to Cafe below on avenue. See okay, all right. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.280 So in addition, so first of all, I had never 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.880 been on a Royal cribbin before. Um mostly we did 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.839 Norwegian Cruise Line, so this was this was a change. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.520 The ship was available and so we took it, and 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.080 they had a couple of things on it that normally 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.360 I might not have done. They have a a three 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.640 sixty globe you get into and it's got a hydraulic 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.320 arm and it goes up three hundred feet over the 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.320 ship and over the water. Oh wow. Which so we 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.120 did it in the Bahamas, so we had an incredible 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.600 view of the other ships docked there as well as 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.599 um Nasa. A hydraulic arm that lifted you up. Well, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.599 it lifted the giant globe of ten of us in 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.200 the ball oh yeah, almost like the skill crane game. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.279 And the snow globe ten of you was like a 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.240 stuffed animal right. Well, thankfully it didn't drop us like 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.920 the crane game, which is rigged. So I did that. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:34.080 I am at a middle of the middle, maybe after 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.840 a couple of drinks, so I did that, which was 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.479 high for me and I don't love heights, but I 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.279 did that. And then also on anthem of the seas 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.640 they have. I fled. You know what I fly is? No, 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.720 so you you put on like a flight suit. Is 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.280 that the new Is that the new airplane from Apple? 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.400 I fly? Nope, nope, nope, no, no, no no, because I 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.400 would have used the Android version. Uh. This is it's 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.359 a cylinder that blows air from the ground and you 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.680 it's like you're jumping out of a plane. So you 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.640 have a helmet and goggles and you jump into this 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.760 tube with an instructor and it floats you up. You 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.320 have to keep you body in a certain position. And 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.080 I did that. That's great. Again, my family did not 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.599 think I would do it. That's not how I got injured. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:21.880 So I have, Um, I have what's becoming a bad knee. Um. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.680 And so, uh, my left knee needed to get an 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:31.080 injection of gel in my joint. I'm jelling, so the 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.960 cartilage is wearing out in my left It's pain it's painful. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.640 You're like a broken down caboose. Nah, I'm sure about 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.280 the caboose apart. My ass is fine, So eventually I 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.960 will need to get a knee replacement. Everyone it's a 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.159 lifetime of being a fake athlete and playing sports like 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.760 I do. So the well I althoptis put the gel 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.240 in my in my uh knee and he said, at 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.080 last six months it'll take away most of the pain, 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.159 which it has. And he said, you know, uh, you 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.520 get with a shot every six months until you want 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.560 the surgery, which I'm trying to put off. So I said, okay, great, 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.920 I will. He didn't say any limitations. I said, I'm 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.479 going on a cruise. He's like, have a great time. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:16.440 So the cruise left on Sunday. On Thursday, there's a 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.560 dodgeball tournament. Now. I love dodgeball. When I was a kid, 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.920 I played dodgeball in camp. I was fantastic. Nobody could 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.400 throw a ball. I couldn't. It was the opposite of 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.600 that and dodgeball. Nobody would pick me and I would 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.280 be okay. When I finally was put on a team, 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.200 I would always be the one that was out first. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.520 When I was a kid, I beat the counselors. The 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.920 counselors would throw at me. In my head, I caught everything. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.880 I was a large target and I would always okay. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.000 They would wail the So yeah, So I love dodgeball 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.800 much like I do most sports. I can play, and 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.280 I'm I'm in my head, I'm still fourteen years old, 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.720 twelve years old. And so they have this giant basketball 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.480 court sports arena thing on the ship that you can 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.560 play basketball and then as soccer, and then one on 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.880 two days it turns into bump of cars. They put 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.040 the cars on the track so it's like a slick 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.560 basketball court. So in dodgeball, they we sign up and 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.160 where teams have I I don't know, five or six 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.280 whatever it was, and they put us on each side 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.680 of the middle line, you know, like you would and 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.960 on the line. Rather than one dodgeball, they put six 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.560 smaller dodgeballs, bigger than a softball, smaller than a basketball, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.000 like palm you could palm the ball. They put six 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.080 of them on the line. They tell us to stand 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.320 back on the back line, and then when he says 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:31.440 three two one dodgeball, we are supposed to run towards 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.240 the line and grab the dodgeballs our side, their side. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.800 But you can't throw them. You can't throw them, you know, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.480 immediately you have to like then back up, yeah, and 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.920 then then the game starts. Yeah. No, I've actually played 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.360 that before. I remember the beginning of dodgeball. So I 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.520 did I did he did three two one, and everybody 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.960 ran and he stops us. There was no reason to 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.240 stop us. He says, whoa, whoa, stop blows the whistle. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.880 Now you have to run hard. So I ran and 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.040 there was no problem, and he says, I didn't say dodgeball. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.959 I go, We're seriously dude, okay. So then he goes 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:14.640 three two one dodgeball, and I take three steps towards 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.320 the line and my knee collapses. I'm still running, by 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.200 the way, but my knee I have like a lightning 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.760 bolt through my head of pain. So I start backing 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.320 up so I don't get hit, and I'm limping back. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.959 The pain is unbearable, but I don't leave the court 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.880 because that's not who I am. So I stayed and played, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.400 and I, you know, continued to deteriorate because you had 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.920 to be how to be the man, right, Yeah, I'm 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.040 the pain. I'm just gonna play through it. I hit 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.560 a guy, knocked him out. I caught a ball, got 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.400 him out. I'd lasted until two of us left me 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.800 and the girl had hidden the back, so I was 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.520 the target for everything because she stood in the back, like, oh, 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.280 I know my strategy. I'll stand in the back and 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.800 never throw and never catch. So I got I run 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.760 up to the line and I threw a ball at 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.960 a guy and I hit him. And then coming off 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.400 from the side, there's another ball and I couldn't move 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:13.880 fast enough because on my knee, and I got hit. 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.880 I couldn't turn fast enough. So I limped off the 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.200 court ouch, afraid to tell my wife because she was 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.280 said to me, you know, you probably shouldn't do that, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.199 And I'm like, my knee feels fine. I got the 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.199 knee brace on, I got my personal sneakers. I'm good. 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.080 This is gonna be great. Now were you were you 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.840 like biting your tongue, were you riding in pain? Wildest? 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:39.800 But so what at what point did you did you 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.839 say to yourself, I'm playing. The more I play, the 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.040 more I'm going to be injured. At when I knew 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.880 that immediately tomorrow morning, So then what why didn't you stop? 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.200 Because everyone on the court was twenty to twenty five 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.520 and I wasn't moving, I wasn't getting off, So I 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.719 stayed and I played. I beat a cup of them, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.720 and then afterwards I limped back to the hotel room. 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.960 I texted my wife and I said hey, um, I'm 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.679 just chilling in the room. Yeah, and then I so 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.640 for two or three hours, I couldn't what day of 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.320 the trip was this Thursday Thursday and we started Sunday, 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.160 so Thursday, so it was towards the end, well towards 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.320 the middle, a little past the middle. So by by 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.960 Thursday night I could walk. By Friday, I was and 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.319 I got in a hot tub, so that helped. I 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.400 was mostly okay by Friday afternoon. But it was a 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.640 day of like you idiot, Yeah, okay, I had a 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.880 great time. I feel good. Now, how was the food? 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.760 Food was good? The food was good. Um, we went 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.240 to all of the restaurants. It's it's uh that particular 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:44.760 ship is a little bit older, so they only had 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.760 four specialty restaurants, whereas like some of the Norwegian ships 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.040 we were on had six eight. So we did the 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.000 four and then we repeated a couple what starts. Well, 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.160 here's the thing. I did get some free dessert, which 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.760 is nice, so originally the ship a second, the whole 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:06.679 thing is free. You you've already paid into the whole experience, right, homie. Well, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.400 let let me let me tell you the story. The 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.440 ship was supposed to dock in Cape Canaveral, which is 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.880 forty minutes away from Orlando, which is like North and 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.320 Central Jersey on the East coast. And at the time 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.800 we were leaving that port, so we were gonna stay 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.360 a day in that area, go to the beach. We 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.079 were thinking about maybe going to Universal Studios. And so 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.960 around an hour after we were supposed to leave that port, 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.040 they were launching a rocket, a SpaceX rocket from that 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.280 port and we would be able to see it. They 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.480 sent this notification, You're gonna be able to see the 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.400 launch of a rocket. I'm like, oh my god, I've 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.480 never except on television, I've never seen a rocketport. It 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.840 was your lucky day, Lucky day. And then we were 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.439 gonna stop at the Nassau in the Bahamas, where we 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.320 ever know, I've been there six times with the Morning 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.240 Show and whatever. So and then we were gonna go 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.960 to that private island. They have an island called Cocoa. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.000 Okay say which I know in the Bahamas they pronounced key, 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.880 but it was Cocoka is according to everybody on the ship. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.720 So the day before the ship left, we get a 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.319 memo saying one of the engines on the ship is 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.400 not running at full speed and they have to repair it. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.240 So we're gonna go a little slower. And because we're 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.240 going a little slower, we're not gonna stop in Florida. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.400 But you're gonna get a refund back of one seventh 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.440 of your trip. So I got we got back each 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.280 of us one day's credit for not stopping in the dock, 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.520 which we didn't care if we stopped there at all. Yeah, 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.000 but we was new found. It was just found money, right, 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.320 Like you didn't care, but you got you got the money. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.160 It was like almost like a bonus check, right, and 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.480 then we use that on the ship to buy shit, 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.040 so it was it was great. So we got free shit, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.160 basically free ship for us because of it. So but 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.040 in the course of the cruise there were so many 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.240 podcast topics. My entire family got into a fight with 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.440 a woman in the Bahamas, all of all four of us. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.120 It wouldn't be a brody trip without it. Yeah, So 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.640 I'll tell you about that later, but I want to 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.400 get your week was without me while I was going 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.480 on with you. I got hammered on Saint Patrick's Day. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:18.880 And I'll talk about that in a second, Okay, the past. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:26.360 I mean hammered to the extent that Andrew from our 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.000 Big show had to put me in an uber and 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:35.560 send me home. Um, but I wouldn't go it. Hammered 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.880 to the extent that the next day, coaster boy Josh, 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.960 who was equally as drunk, if not worse, had to 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:45.600 check in. I mean, dude to you, Okay, I'm telling you, Brody, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.680 I've never been this obliterated in my life. And it 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:52.360 all started with day drinking on St. Patrick's Day. Let's 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.480 be clear though, for everyone you are not Irish, not Irish, 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.640 and I wasn't driving doesn't matter. It's a holiday. Nonetheless, No, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.680 I don't understand that there's a lot of drinking holidays 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.040 that I'm not ethnically part of. Like, uh, but you drink, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.080 you drink on Passover and that isn't even a drinking 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:12.240 holiday of course. Yeah, sinco de mayo, I'm in Bring 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.280 it on Left Flag Day, you got wasted, you name it, 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.680 Give me a reason to drink. I'm drinking. But it 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.760 started with day drinking and doing shots. First, you have 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.360 to realize there, I guess there's two types of drinkers. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.480 Maybe there's more. But when I'm out with my standing 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.920 and the type on the floor right when I'm with 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.440 my friends, my regular my Hoboken friends, real friends. Yeah, well, no, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.040 the guys that I do a lot of dinners with 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.800 that I talk about. We I don't know if you 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.080 call it adult type drinking, but we go slow. We 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.080 like to do a start with with a cocktail at dinner. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.200 Then we'll move into some wine, and then we'll do 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.240 the after dinner drink, and then we'll maybe do glass 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.200 of whiskey, and then we'll do some uh, some cappuccino 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:00.400 or some espresso with some sambuca. My friends have these 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.680 a lot of drinks over the course of a few 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.600 hours and layer it with different liquors. Okay, that's one 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.800 type of drinker, and that's the kind of drinker I've 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:16.080 become because I can't handle it fast and furious. And 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.720 then there's like the people like Joey Gorga and Melissa 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.320 Gorger from the Housewives of New Jersey, who I coincidentally 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.280 ran into. Yeah, coincidence, No, it was. It was a coincidence. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.080 I was about to do day drinking with some of 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.560 the sales team and some of my other friends, and 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.640 they said, meet us at the Pig and the Parrot 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.360 at five o'clock. That's a bar name the Pig and Parrot, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.520 The Pig and the Parrot. Yeah, you're picking the parrot. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.480 There's one at the Jersey Shore. There's one in Hoboken, 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.560 so I said i'll be there. So it's five o'clock. 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.760 I'm in the shower. I'm running late. I come out 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.880 of the shower, I'm already on my way. I'm like, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.040 I'm getting dressed. And I get a bunch of texts 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.400 from one of our friends, Amanda and Sales and she's like, scary, 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.880 Joe Gorga is here with the housewives and they're all 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.120 their friends, all the people from the TV show. If 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.880 you're a fan of Real House of Wives in New Jersey, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.520 you definitely know who these people are. We know who 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.440 they are. Get here now and I'm like, I'm on 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.680 my way. Okay, okay. So I jump into taxi, sorry uber, 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.800 and I show up and afford me thinking you, oh, 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.080 wait a minute, you had the slices, thinking you got 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.679 into a regular taxi for a second. I get there 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.199 all good slices. I'm still scary, yeah, scary. The booge 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.000 man So and the next thing, you know, Joe Gorgon 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.000 sees me, he lifts me up. He's already three hours 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:36.800 in and he's like scarage joy and it was. It 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.320 was hysterical actually, And then Melissa was there, his wife, 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.159 and it was a good time. And I introduced the 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.639 two groups. I love to be the person who brings 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.200 groups of people together. I'm like, hey, meet my friends 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.040 from sales at the radio station, and then you guys 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:51.840 meet some of the housewives people. It was like a 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.720 one big, happy family. The problem is it started fast 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.520 and furious with shots. Let's do around the shots. No 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.720 sooner do I put the shot glass down on the bar. 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.760 They're already ordering round two, like you got some catch 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.120 it up to do. I must have done four shots 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.119 in about a half hour. That's not how Scary Jones drinks. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.520 I just call myself with the third person. But I 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.040 don't drink that way. So now I'm like, oh fuck, 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.800 and I'm on an empty stomach. The night just that, 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.680 the Nights from the Nikes extends from there. Next thing 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:32.000 you know, it's now five six hours later and I'm 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.320 at the bar the Madison, where I totally gone. I'm 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.199 with my other friends, my friend Will is with me, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.080 but we're like, we're we're We're several shots in and 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.320 several drinks and rounds in and I see Andrew, a 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:48.440 coastal boy, Josh come in. I'm so elated to see them, said, 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.080 I hugged them. Yeah, and then I bit Andrew on 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:56.000 the ear or elbow or something, and he's like, what 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:57.760 the fuck are you doing? I'm like, I'm just so 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.520 happy to see you now. I gotta say, when you 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.120 bite someone, you can bite someone as a term of endearment, 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.159 you can. It's an affectionate bite. There's a different you know, 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.120 you know, you're just so excited, like, oh my god, 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.680 I'm so drunk, I'm so happy, and you just bite them. 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.800 That's what I did. Now. Some people will be like, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.359 you're fucking crazy. Other people do crazy shit when they 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.400 see their friends after being drunk. If you're like if 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.639 you're like literally hammered, like shit faced, and then you 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.000 see someone you didn't expect come into your your vision 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.080 and you what do you do? Some people have different reactions. 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.080 Do you do anything, Well, you've never been there, No, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.800 Well I just I smile, I get crazy and I 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.480 bite them. That's what I do. I bit at Andrew, 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.400 so I apologize. It got it just went it went 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.359 south from there, and then they tried to get me 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.280 home and do the right thing for me, but I 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.879 refuse to listen, like, no, fuck you, I'm not going home. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.480 It's only nine o'clock. It was bad, It was bad. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.560 So you know, I spent the next day just nursing 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:02.920 a hangover. But you know, I don't know if you've 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.359 ever been that that shit faced, you know, I haven't, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:12.920 not at all ever. No, no, okay, Well, anyway, although 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.840 I did drink for me, I drank a lot on 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.239 the cruise because we had the drink package and I 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.000 felt like I already paid for it. Yeah, so anyway, 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.120 that was my Saint Patrick's day. The day drinking thing 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.800 is one thing, but the style of drinking, I don't 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:32.040 know who drinks to get smashed, where they just keep 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.639 doing shots, shots, shots, shot lots of people. Yeah, but 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.200 that's never been me. I'll do around the shots when 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.560 I'm like, yeah, let's do it around the shots, but 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.600 to just go all in. And then I realized I 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.280 paid for the bill at both the Pig and the 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.119 Parrot and the Madison. I dropped so much money that 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.240 I didn't realize it, and I didn't know it until 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.960 the next day, and I'm like, oh fuck, what did 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.960 I do? Dude? That's why I don't drink. At one 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:02.240 point we lined up because I felt the need to 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.359 repay Joe at the Pig in the Parrot like they 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.760 were giving me shots. So I'm like, I mean, the 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.080 guy that has a TV show and a successful career, 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:14.280 they're rich. They're on a show because they're rich. So 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.720 wait in a second, I had to get in there. 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.440 So I'm like, one, two, three, four, give me fourteen shots? 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:25.359 Oh my god, Jmo. Yeah, guess what. They're on a Jamo. 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.120 You got a problem. There were no buybacks of this Jamison. 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:31.800 It was yeah, man, I went in. I went in 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.440 and I bit off more than I can chew. And 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:38.280 and that was that was that. I didn't even tell 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.720 you about the Friday before. We'll let me ask. I'll 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.399 make it very brief. Yeah, no, no no, I gotta ask 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.560 a question about what you just said. So, so, what's 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.840 the guy's name from the show, Joe? Joe? So Joe 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:52.159 brought you bought like multiple rounds of of of of shots, right, yeah, 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.240 And so you felt obligated at least by one to 0:21:55.359 --> 0:22:01.960 buy one round. Okay, but the thing you brought fourteen 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.399 shots because you felt obligated to repay Joe as general. 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.240 But it's the right thing to do though, Okay, shut up, 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:13.119 you're not drunk, dude. If in this situation, I'm not 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.719 your wife, don't tell me to shut up. I'll give 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.639 you the backhand about you. Um, If in this situation 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.119 and you're in you're trying to repay Joe by buying 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.120 that round of fourteen drinks and you said there were 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.159 no buybacks, what if the bartend had decided to do 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.600 a buyback of fourteen drinks right there and didn't charge 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.640 you for the fourteen shots, would you still owe Joe 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:36.520 around of drinks? No? No, because I know where you 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.639 going with this, because this is an analogy for the 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.000 fucking steak dinner that you seem to think I owe you, 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:46.880 and I said no because the same rule applies. No, 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.000 So you are kid. No, you would have said, Joe, 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:50.760 the bartend have paid for that round, I'll get the 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.960 next round. Oh, speaking of steak dinner, and then I 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.639 have a drink story for you, Oh skieries, steak dinner, 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:04.000 This is gonna make you any any happier. It may 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:08.080 make you more angry, Okay, but remember and we're not 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:09.960 going to go into it, but remember the reason why 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.320 I owed you a steak dinner. Remember Beca. There was 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:17.040 a reason because it was a third party involved, and 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:20.440 you helped get some shit done with the third party. 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:21.960 One on the show asked me to do it, so 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.359 I did it. Yes, and then I did it and 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:26.399 got all you a lot of money and then I 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:32.400 I got yeah, I got so about that. That third party, 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:36.040 the reason why, the catalyst, the reason why, Yeah, the 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:43.600 steak dinner exists. Um, Robin and I went out on 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:48.600 Saturday night with that person and his wife and we 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:53.520 uh went to a restaurant and I foot the bill 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:58.239 and I bought him a mistake dinner. Wow. And by 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.160 the way, I liked that person and his but he 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:05.359 did me a huge favor recently. And I'm like, I said, dude, 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:10.679 you are ironic. It is ironic, yep. Or is that 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:14.679 a coincidence? No, it's I It's both. It's and I 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:17.159 said ironic that that you went for steak dinner. And 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:20.159 as as as as I'm signing the build, but he 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:27.200 gotta do the guy, the guy who didn't who didn't 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.359 want to give you money, and I I stuck my 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.280 neck out to make sure everyone on the show got 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:36.199 that money, and and I did listen. He and I 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:37.919 have a good relationship now, but he said to me 0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.520 once at a holiday party, he said, I'll forgive you, 0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.480 but I'll never forget. That's what he said to me. 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.640 So I know, even though like we're friendly again and again, 0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:48.919 I think the world of him. But little does he 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.760 know that I owed you a steak dinner to begin with, 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:53.679 because he doesn't have to know that. He doesn't know 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.640 that part. But but the fact of the matter is, yeah, yeah, 0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:59.520 I bought him. And as I'm signing the car and 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:01.879 I'm like, oh my god, this is like a Larry 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.440 David moment. This is a curb enthusiasm moment. I am 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.800 buying a steak dinner for the guy who was the 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:10.199 reason why I owed by a steak dinner. That's correct, 0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:21.920 That's correct, that scary steak dinner. Update a break, I 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:23.720 do want to comment on what we just talked about 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.320 for the break. YEP, I do have an update for 0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.200 next episode. I do. There's a reason I want to 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:32.000 talk about right now. Okay, but uh, last episode, Scary 0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.000 said if I met him somewhere at an appearance, he 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.160 would take me off for a steak dinner. We talked 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.840 about that. I will talk about next week and I'll 0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:41.960 explain why I have to wait a week before I 0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:45.639 can talk about it. But I didn't up. Yes, we 0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:49.199 did not. We did not yet. Yeah that update. Brody 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.080 never met me, so he didn't get his steak dinner. 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.840 So that was I'm gonna leave it there. I very 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.200 much wish I did, so that'll real little tease for 0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.720 next episode. There was in terms of drinking. Yeah, I 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:00.440 did want to run something by your real quick Okay, 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.280 go for him. I'm sorry. So on the ship another 0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:04.720 cruise story. I got a lot of them, but they're 0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:08.520 all really good. I promise they're never They're never not good, 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.439 thank you. The four of us were sitting at a 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.520 table in the club. There's a club called the Music Room. 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:18.199 We were up in the club. We were upstairs and 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.800 downstairs over the ledge um. There was a cover band 0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:26.320 playing that was fantastic Billboard something Billboard band. Anyway, So 0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:29.119 we're at this long rectangular table. Let's seats six and 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.879 we're we're seating at four of the seats. To my 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.719 left is that is the seat, and then across from 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:36.280 that seat is the other seat that are available, so 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:40.040 the two end seats are available. When we first sat down, 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.560 people had just gotten up. The table hadn't been cleared yet, 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.040 so there were a couple of drinks there. There was 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.280 a martini glass that was half full, and there was 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.600 a m I want to see like a pint glass 0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:55.480 that was three quarters filled. I don't know what was 0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:57.560 in him, it doesn't really matter. It was alcohol. So 0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.520 I moved them to my left that there was nobody 0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:03.240 sitting to the left. To the left the left, all 0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:06.720 those drinks are left. So we're sitting there and the 0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:08.200 four of us have had a couple of drinks. We're 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:13.160 having a good time, and this group of girls comes by. 0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:16.159 I'm going to assume they were twenty one. They may 0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:18.479 not have been. Were they feeling twenty two? Maybe they 0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.800 were twenty two. Yeah, they were feeling twenty two thanks 0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:26.560 to hell Swift. And so they come over and they say, 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.960 excuse us, excuse me, and I said, I'm assuming they're 0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:33.040 asking if the chairs are available, and they said, I'm sorry, 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:35.320 these are your drinks, so I said, no, they were 0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:37.520 here when we sat down again, thinking they were going 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.600 to move them so they could sit down. They didn't 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.080 want to throw them out without asking if they were 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.680 our drinks. The four girls take the drinks and start 0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:48.480 drinking them and passing them back and forth to each other. 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:53.080 That's so ghetto that, by the way, we've we've had 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:57.440 people do that at sporting events. We've had interns who 0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:01.679 admitted to just picking up drinks off the concrete floor 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.320 at a baseball game, saying, yes, I'm gonna I'm gonna 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:06.520 start chugging beer. And you don't even know whose lips 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:09.879 were on that ship, but free beer. In fact, that story, 0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.720 I use that story a lot in discussing. When I 0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:16.840 would interview new interns, I would ask them, I would say, oh, 0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:18.640 do you is this something you would do? What would 0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:20.720 you do in this situation? And they were all like, oh, 0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:22.959 we would never, it's terrible, you know, who would ever 0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:27.200 do that? And these girls, these girls drank to the bottom, 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:31.080 every last drop. Scary. They drank these drinks that were 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:33.200 sitting there, which it looked if they thought they were 0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:34.960 my drinks. They were like, well, these people look clean, 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.280 these people look normal. I don't know. I have no 0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.080 idea who sat there before me? I have no idea 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.160 what the people look like if there no no no idea, 0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.400 and they didn't either, and they just d they're like, 0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:52.320 look look slices. I know that alcohol kills germs is 0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:56.240 the old cliche, but it's no. So here's what I 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.480 want you guys to do. Use the talkback feature on 0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.040 your heart radio app and leave us a message. Would 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:03.640 you do it? Well, not not in so much would 0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:06.120 you do it? Have you done it? Have you taken 0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:11.200 a drink out of some randos leftover alcohol? Because we 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:13.520 that I would. That's not which scary. As drunk as 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:15.600 you are the other night, you think you might have 0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:21.480 done that? Yeah, yeah, I think um accidentally but not 0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:28.400 on purpose. Okay, you listen. I don't mind wasting beer. Okay, 0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.520 I won't waste food though I know that, you know. 0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.720 I mean I will eat food off of people's plates. 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:37.160 I mean, not random strangers, but not my friends. If 0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:39.320 you're not going to finish that, I'm going in. I'm 0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:43.360 gonna eat that. So yeah, but you eat if your 0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:45.440 friends plates, that's not that's not a problem. I don't 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.800 you know. I don't. I don't think that's an issue. 0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.960 But what would be worse picking up a beer off 0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:55.920 the pavement and start drinking it, or walking through a 0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:59.040 restaurant and seeing that the people we had left the 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:01.240 food behind and they're about to clear the table and 0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:03.640 then you just like grab some French fries off of it. 0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:05.880 Is that just as bad? Is one worse than the other? 0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:09.719 I'm walking by, I'm leaving the restaurant, I'm like, oh, 0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.880 those fries look good. Now. Now that table hasn't been 0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:15.920 cleared yet, but the people are gone, oh fuck that. 0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:17.840 I'm gonna take half the sandwich home with from me. 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.680 I'm gonna rip it off this plate, throw to my bank. 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:24.560 Would you do that? No, so, same same thing, same 0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.120 rule applies. I couldn't do it. But the limps didn't 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.280 touch it, Like wait, here's a full as a half 0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:34.040 a chicken PARMI touched maybe, but their fingers were on 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.479 the You don't know if they touched it, they fingered it. 0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:39.720 Maybe their hands were on it, or they breathed on 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.880 it or spin on it while they were taking bite 0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:45.280 to the other half. I don't know. Something to think about, 0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:48.720 something to chew on. I want to hear some talkbacks 0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:50.640 on that, though I bet you there are listeners. It's 0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:53.080 more common than we know. Well, you know who did 0:30:53.120 --> 0:30:57.000 something something. What I think worse than that, um is 0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:03.320 uh uh Ronnie Scalzo, baldhead freak. What did he do? 0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:07.040 We were at a Mets game. It was a station event, 0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:08.800 I think, which is why he was there. He would 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:10.720 not normally go to a Mets game unless we brought 0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:14.120 him there. And we were in a in a section 0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:17.520 with a lot of people left early, and he found 0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:21.280 like buckets of chicken, chicken fingers, chicken tenders. Yeah, that 0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:23.000 were are not eating. He was like, fuck it, they 0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:26.000 didn't eat it, So he those are individual pieces that 0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:29.120 haven't been touched. So I would I could almost give 0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:34.360 that a pass. The beer clearly touched the saliva in there. 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.239 At least you got you stand a chance. What if 0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:39.360 it was a fully wrapped hot dog sitting there, You 0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:42.120 could just swindle that and walk out with that. No 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.840 one's touched that, there's nothing to grow. The only thing 0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:47.840 that's gross is the idea that of possession, that it 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:51.000 belonged to someone at one time. That's how I see it, 0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:54.800 and that's not that gross at that point. Huh the 0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:58.440 chicken fingers, Yeah, I couldn't do it. You couldn't do it. 0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:00.920 What if them licked their fingers and the lucky fingers 0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.320 put one back and it touched another finger chicken finger? Yeah, Oh, 0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:05.920 They're like, I'm about to eat the last one. They're like, 0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:07.440 fuck it, I'm full, and they put it back in 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:09.480 and they're all slobbery. I couldn't do it. I think 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:13.040 there's different levels and different situations that I would I can't. 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:19.880 I'm inconclusive about that. Um okay, well, uh, yeah, go ahead. 0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:21.200 You was gonna say, yeah, no, I was going to 0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:22.840 change the topic real quick, and I had a question 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:26.760 for you because oh yeah, please go ahead. Um We're 0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:30.440 gonna be very vague right now because we Brodie. You 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.000 and I are going to an event tomorrow night. The 0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:37.000 two of us are attending an event together. So the 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:42.360 invitation that I got on this event said cocktail casual. 0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:45.600 Yeah I saw that. I meant to ask you about that. Yeah, 0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.000 I meant to ask you about that. So well, remember 0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:49.640 back in the day we did this. Remember I did 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.240 an event and you said, what do you call that style? 0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:55.040 And I said, oh, it's Brooklyn Industrial and describe everybody 0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:58.160 what Brooklyn Industrial was. I can't. It was like that. 0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:01.000 It was the smoking jacket, Oh yeah, the smoke that 0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:04.840 it was John Varvados ARMANI smoking jacket with a T 0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:08.880 shirt underneath. Yeah, not tucked in. But then a pair 0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.720 of black pants that weren't weren't jeans. That was Brooklyn Industrial? Correct? 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:16.280 So who you called it that? You named it that? 0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:18.760 After that? I said, I showed up to an event 0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.920 dressed that way, and you said, that's Brooklyn Industrial. I 0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.080 think that the naming came after it. It It wasn't wasn't 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:28.880 the invitation didn't say Brooklyn Industrial, but this invitation say 0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:33.240 cocktail casual. What does that mean? I didn't know what 0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.920 it meant, but I so whenever look slices, you know, 0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:37.880 whenever we're gonna go to an event, I usually text 0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.720 Scary because I know he's gonna overdress and I always go, hey, 0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:42.600 scare what you're wearing? And he'll say, oh, I'm gonna 0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:45.520 wear a suit and one of my shiny shirts would 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.240 a pipe And I go okay because he loves his 0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.080 shiny shirts. And normally he'll tell me the brand name 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:55.280 as well. Oh I've got I've got you know, a 0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:58.360 shiny shirt by Almani and I've got the v I 0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.440 got the John Varvados, the Varvedo stand. I can't go 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:05.120 wrong with a shiny shirt. I'm not a shiny shirt guy. 0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:07.000 Would you? Are you the kind of person who puts 0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:11.080 your T shirt under a sport jacket? No, because yeah, 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:14.000 it's a bit of a I'm not Miami vice. I'm 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.319 not that's I can't pull that look off. I usually 0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:18.920 do a dress shirt. That's a paradox to me. I do. 0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:21.560 I do a dress shirt un talked with jeans and 0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:23.520 a jacket. Yeah, I could do that. I don't like 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:25.000 because I don't like wearing a belt, I don't like 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.720 talking shit in and I certainly don't like wearing a tie. 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.160 That's the worst. Your first quarter of skiy, So I 0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:35.200 feel like you still you could talk second? Yeah, I 0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:38.200 didn't want to say you could say I'm second. Is 0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:42.440 it fair to say you never reached first quarter of status? Um? 0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:46.200 Because I think it's starting off second quarter? Yeah? Quarter? Yeah, 0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:49.640 I think, um, I think I was, but all that 0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.839 I was ten. I was ten pounds off quarter. You're 0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:54.640 a fifth quarter skier to end the year. Lash that's 0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:59.160 the problem. I'm now I'm ten I'm ten pounds over 0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:01.520 what I should have been for first quarter. Scary, So 0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:04.160 we're starting with the second quarter scary. So now I 0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.040 just have to hit the brakes for this quarter, just 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:07.920 so I can slow down a little bit. But we'll 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:11.279 see where that goes. Only time will tell. Like you 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.759 you took a gallon of a couple of gallons of 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:17.239 empty calories on St. Patrick's Day or anything? Well, part 0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:19.879 of the problem. Oh oh oh, that reminds me, were 0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:22.320 you in the middle of something. No, well, I was 0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:23.839 gonna I was gonna ask you we we're gonna talk 0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:28.200 about cocktail casual for a quick second. But I don't 0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:30.560 know what to wear because the host said he's gonna 0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.279 wear a suit. But he's the host. I don't need 0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.560 to dress up like him. No, we're not gonna be 0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:38.000 on a microphone like he is and doing things. But 0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:41.680 he's an mcc he's an MCC. Right. It's a fancy 0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:45.399 place though, that's the other problem. It's a yeah, it's 0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:48.359 a fancy place. Here's where I'm torn. It's the kind 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:50.640 of place you could have a wedding or a bar 0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:53.640 mitz for in. But that we're not having a wedding 0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:56.480 or bar mitz for there, right, and you're like, why 0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:58.040 I don't have to dress up for the place. I 0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.440 already got word back from a few of the guys 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:04.080 that they're wearing a sweater and jeans and that's it. Whoa, whoa, 0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:08.200 I said. So then another someone else I know that 0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:10.360 is that, like someone who's always casual, like Josh, like 0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:12.719 Josh is always cash. One of my other friends who's 0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:18.239 going to this event, he said, he's wearing, Um, he's 0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:20.919 wearing jeans with a button down shirt and belt and 0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:25.440 no and that's it, tucked in no suit jacket. Is 0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:29.000 that how he dresses to work? This person? Yeah? So 0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:33.040 so he also but this guy also said, well, we 0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:36.360 should all band together. So he tried to rally the 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.839 troops of a few guys and told me to tell 0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:42.200 you and four other guys that we know that maybe 0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:47.319 go into this. Yeah, hey, what's all band together? Let's 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:50.800 no certainly no tie, no tie of course, no jacket. 0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:53.960 But then what do you wear? I mean, like, you 0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:56.920 wear a sweater? But I don't know, though, do you 0:36:57.600 --> 0:37:00.520 what does cocktail casual even mean? I don't know. I'll 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.040 have to google it. Let me google it hold on 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:06.080 cocktail casual because my girlfriend was trying to give me advice. 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:09.600 She said, my girlfriend's like, hey, let me tell you something. Okay. 0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:12.200 Here it has cocktail casual attire, she said, it's just 0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.280 short of She goes, it's like going to a wedding, 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:17.920 but minus the tie. I'm like, no, that's business casual. Okay. 0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:21.399 This is what the first search came up. It says 0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:24.920 cocktail casual attire is a cross between cocktail and business casual. 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:28.520 Dub by the name. Your outfits should look polished, but 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:32.400 not as formal as a semi formal outfit. Again, I okay. 0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:35.840 Men should wear light colored suits if the cocktail celebration 0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:38.840 is the daytime, and darker suits for an evening event. 0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:42.680 Can you wear jeans to cocktail casual? Different? As a 0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:46.560 general rule, cocktail means no jeans and no sneakers. That's 0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:50.520 bullshit because people wear sneakers with suits. I know three 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:55.080 people that they Dude, I'm wearing jeans an evening event, 0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:59.279 less formal than black tie, but not quite business casual. Okay, 0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.000 here it is hold on. This is from leaf dot TV. 0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:07.040 I'm trying to find, like, gun, what's business casual. Business 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.960 casual means a suit but no tie. To me, that's 0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:15.640 what business casual means. M hmm. Cocktail attire. I'm telling you, 0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:17.600 I don't think we should be wearing jeans. I think 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:21.200 you gotta go slacks. Yeah, I went, I bought slacks 0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.799 this week. I went and bought slacks, black slacks, I bought, No, 0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:28.360 I bought, uh, I bought gray slack. I bought gray slacks. 0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.799 D like wool, like like nice gray pants. But now 0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:33.360 I'm not sure I'll like him with the Now, I 0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:35.400 don't know what I'm gonna do. Cocktail casual is a 0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:38.680 dress code blah blah blah, doesn't require you to wear 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.759 expensive dresses or heels. This is women. What should I wear? 0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:45.880 This is a it's an ad firm cocktail casual. All right, 0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:47.279 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do the search thing. 0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:49.239 I'm gonna google it. But it sounds like you have 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.320 to look pretty good. Yeah, you gotta be more polished 0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:55.719 than a turd. Yeah, I think the women are gonna 0:38:55.719 --> 0:39:00.319 wear cocktail dresses. But I will you all you know women, women, 0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:02.480 the women who are gonna go to this event, they 0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:05.520 probably I mean, well, they're just no offense. But a woman, 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:08.360 a woman is appropriate. A woman, they're not. A woman 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.120 is a wal trousers. Women always go to the nines. 0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:14.399 They always the guys will always look like slobs next 0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:17.080 to women at events any event. I just feel that 0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:19.359 women will, you know, because they out they like to 0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:22.040 outdress each other. And so this article says there is 0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:25.240 no place for more casual clothing such as jeans, polar shirts, 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:29.920 or casual sneakers. But it's cocktail. What casual? Right? So 0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:36.600 it's it's just a title. So it's ah, I almost 0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:39.240 don't want to go now, it's too much to think about. 0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:42.320 It's a lot. It's a lot, right, Okay, So what 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:46.840 does contact casual general mean? Cocktail camus described as relaxing, 0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:50.560 comfortable style that is still appropriate for a more formal setting. However, 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:54.120 it can also be accessorized with more casual items like 0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:58.480 jeans and sneak Sure cocktail attire from men, No need 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:02.879 to worry. Okay, yeah, California casual. We're not in California. 0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:06.160 Wait a second, there's a that state has its own 0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:10.560 type of casual that's different from the Yes, a nice 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:12.600 pair of slacks or jeans with a button down shirt 0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.640 or blouse is always a good choice. So then what's 0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:17.280 New York casual? Wait a minute, now there's creative cocktail 0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:21.520 attire all about cocktail dresses. I fucking hate this article. 0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:27.840 Fuck you articles leaving, and that article is going to 0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:32.000 differ from the four other articles with the same name. Okay, 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:34.439 here's an article from mom Tastic that says, what does 0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:37.759 cocktail casual even mean? I'm not looking at it because 0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:40.480 they put the word even in for no reason. So 0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:45.439 f that article, what does it even mean? Yeah, there's 0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:48.880 relevant even casual cocktail attire for men and women by 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:56.160 fashion Fashion Hants, fashion ants dot Com. Very confusing. Oh yeah, 0:40:56.239 --> 0:41:00.239 and it's all opinion. There is no definition. I think 0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.680 that's what the conclusion I'm coming when the dresses maxie 0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:05.120 dresses I'm not wearing. If you think about a pencil skirt, 0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:08.640 about a pencil skirt? You know? How about an eggshell 0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:13.120 a line attire for gentlemen? Sweaters Sweaters always are a 0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:14.920 safe option when it comes to catch. What if it's 0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:16.920 a sweater that looks like I'm wearing a tuxedo that 0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.240 can't wear that? Men can go in for a sweater 0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:23.280 pattern pullover, which they can good sweaters, a college shirt 0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.200 if you prefer. I don't like sweaters. Now you look 0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.319 like the Michelin man. You can't do that. You can 0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:30.640 wear well fitting shirts and roll up the sleeves ever 0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:34.520 so slightly. Whatever that means. Wear well fitted trousers or 0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:37.960 dark jeans. Okay, do you use the word trousers, So 0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:40.960 I'm out on that article. You can. You can wear 0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:43.720 leather boots to add a tinge of class. You're attire. 0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:46.839 You may even wear a necktie. Boots add class. Because 0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:49.080 when I think boots, I think country, and I think dirt, 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:53.759 and I think line dancing, and I think Texas. Not 0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:56.120 cowboy boots. You can wear. First of all, if you 0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.279 wear nice cowboy boots, I mean is dressing in certain posts. 0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:01.160 But if women, a woman wears stew Whitesman boots, then 0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:03.239 that's you know, that's a different story. But I think 0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:07.160 women would wear those. Okay, guys, whatever T shirts, guys, 0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:09.640 I don't know. I just think boots are a casual thing. 0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:13.040 Boots going denim. Okay. This says you can wear a 0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:14.920 T shirt or a round neck T shirt with a 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.759 well fitted jacket. You may even opt for wearing a 0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:21.240 formal jacket, as these look nice when combined with casual attire. 0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:24.399 So you can wear your John Varvados smoking jacket with 0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:26.840 one of your theory tie dyed shirts.

In fact, my wife bought a pair 0:43:39.040 --> 0:43:42.360 when we were in Amsterdam on the Morning show cruise. 0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:45.880 My wife bought a pair of very expensive shoes and 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:48.480 the VAT was like ninety dollars. But you don't pay 0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:51.759 tax to a foreign government when you're an American. They 0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:55.080 so they reimburse you. There's a machine you have to 0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:58.640 put This particular department store had a machine and you 0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.600 put the receipt in and it gets you your money back. Well, 0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:03.400 how do I get my money back from past trips? 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:05.319 I don't know how do you do that? But you 0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:08.360 should know that anyway. My point is, dude, I was 0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:10.799 today years old when I found this out. This is 0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:14.480 news to me. Hold on, can Americans get VAT tax returned? 0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:17.359 You're dreaming? I don't know how to get to hold 0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:20.879 on Vatican him. That's that's part of the problem. That 0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:22.960 that's the biggest thing people complain about when they're going 0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:25.919 to like the Bahamas in these places because it says VAT. 0:44:26.320 --> 0:44:28.000 They're like, oh my god, the VAT fucked me. You 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:30.720 know, I I got all his VAT. And then something tells 0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:37.000 me that you can't. That's a myth. Nope, says you 0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:40.000 can get a VAT refund even for your online purchases. 0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:42.760 The same rules apply. You must be a permanent resident 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.839 in a non EU country and the amount you paid 0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:48.480 must be above the minimum prescribed by the country. Whatever. 0:44:48.480 --> 0:44:52.759 Blah blah blah, you look Google Google it anyway. Um, so, 0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:54.799 but people call it a VAT tax, but the tea 0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:59.480 and VAT is tax. Got it? Okay, So you don't. 0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.520 You don't say attacks, you just say that, right, okay. 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:04.120 So anyway, So we would go in there and hoping 0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:05.680 to save some money because you don't pay the tax 0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:08.120 and tax on like four hundred dollars shoes, it's like 0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:13.000 thirty forty bucks whatever. So we're leaving the store and 0:45:13.120 --> 0:45:18.080 again it's my wife, my middle daughter, her friend who's 0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:23.520 from Bayridge, Brooklyn by the way, and me and I'm 0:45:23.520 --> 0:45:25.360 the fourth because I'm a gentleman, I let the ladies 0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:30.640 go first. As we're leaving the store, there's a woman 0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:34.759 in her forties maybe the thirties, and her daughter, who's 0:45:34.760 --> 0:45:37.239 about I want to say, about seven or eight years old. 0:45:37.920 --> 0:45:41.560 The woman opens the door. Okay, she pulls it out. 0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:45.000 She pulls the door open, and she opens the door, 0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:47.319 and her daughter is in front of her, and they 0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:49.479 are to the left of the entrance of the door, 0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:53.239 right of the doorway. Well, when someone opens the door 0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.439 and you're right there, you were going to push the door. 0:45:57.280 --> 0:45:59.319 Who has the right of way? The people leaving the 0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:02.320 store as you would leave an elevator, or the people 0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:05.640 coming into the pushing the door outwards to leave. And 0:46:05.800 --> 0:46:08.360 this woman pulled the door open before we could push it. 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:10.799 So we were at the doorway. People walking through the 0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:14.320 door on the push side, they have the right of way. No, 0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:16.040 in other words, the people on the inn on the 0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:20.160 people on the inside going out. Okay, so we know that. 0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:24.080 So my wife walks through the door with my door 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:26.520 because you let people. Oh you always let people out 0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:29.560 before you you walk into anything that that goes for 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:33.640 a subway, car or bus, think about anything. It's always 0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:36.879 that's right, that's right. So the woman, as the four 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:39.880 of us are walking through the doorway, she says to 0:46:39.960 --> 0:46:44.239 her daughter, very passive aggressively. Sorry, honey, I thought these 0:46:44.360 --> 0:46:48.040 rude people would let us out first. No, but they 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:50.319 were coming in. You were in the store. They you 0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:53.200 were in the store going out. Correct, they were out 0:46:53.400 --> 0:46:55.880 going in, they were out. But unless they were in 0:46:55.960 --> 0:47:00.000 somewhere else coming out, where were they coming from? That's correct? 0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:05.960 Where were they? I don't care outside. There were outcomes outdoors, right, 0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:08.839 it's an outdoor store. Well, it's all perspective. I mean 0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:11.600 they could be coming from it was another store attached 0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.160 to it, because they could be coming out of that 0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:16.120 stre It's a sidewalk, it's not a mall. Okay. They 0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:20.600 were opening the door on the sidewalk them, So my, my, my, 0:47:20.880 --> 0:47:22.719 So they said this out loud. So my wife says, 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:26.760 excuse me, you're the one that's wrong. My daughter turns 0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:29.439 to her and she's like, hey, maybe you should teach 0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:31.800 your daughter respect on who goes through the door first, 0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:34.799 instead of making it look like we're wrong, and so 0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:39.480 oh shit. Her friend from Brooklyn is like, maybe he's 0:47:39.560 --> 0:47:43.839 just shut up. And at this point I've got car 0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:47.359 blanched to be fourth. So I said, first of all, 0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:50.840 you mean you thought we were gonna let you in first, 0:47:51.239 --> 0:47:53.040 not out. You don't even know which way you're going. 0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.399 Second of all, learn some damn manners before you teach 0:47:56.440 --> 0:47:59.680 your kid what's wrong. I said, excuse me, Annie to 0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:04.880 the little girl. Out goes first, right, and then I 0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:07.360 gave it a face like NI face. All right, So 0:48:07.440 --> 0:48:10.120 I was very proud of my family. It all sets 0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:13.520 up door. You're a big man, David Brody. Yeah, you 0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:18.600 showed that fucking girl like fucking fourth your age. I want, 0:48:18.880 --> 0:48:23.359 I want, I want to show you whose boss may have. Yeah, 0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:25.680 well wait a second, I'm gonna I gotta spin on 0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:30.120 this plot twist. Yeah, even though you were walking out 0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:33.759 and they were walking in from the outside, and it 0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:39.480 was if the door, if the door was a pull 0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:45.399 door for you, for you, yeah, you're saying you pushed 0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:48.239 the door out. I think I think the direction of 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:53.200 the door is what really really dictates who walks through first, 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:55.600 because I feel like if you, let's say it was 0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:57.839 a pull door to go out and you're in the store, 0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:00.200 you push, by the way doesn't exist in any doors 0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:03.760 because you're always carrying. There are listeners right now saying, ah, yeah, 0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:06.200 that happens where where I was. Yeah, well, it's if 0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:08.640 it's if it's an indoor. If you're it doesn't matter 0:49:08.680 --> 0:49:12.440 how it was constructed. I'm just saying for hypothetically speaking, 0:49:12.880 --> 0:49:16.480 if you're in a store and the door is a 0:49:16.480 --> 0:49:19.600 pull door to leave to go out, and you're pulling, 0:49:20.400 --> 0:49:23.359 then and only then the people the outside going in 0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:25.880 go first because they could come in because you were 0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:28.319 pulling the door open. We let them go in and 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:31.080 then you go out. If you pull the door, you 0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:33.759 have an option. You can stand to the side and 0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:36.240 hold the door open for them. No, it's just awkward. 0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:38.440 But yeah, but if there's a long line of people 0:49:38.440 --> 0:49:40.359 that want to come in, now you're holding the door, 0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:42.799 you want to leave, You're like the doorman. If you 0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:45.040 try to go first, Now you have to like hold 0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:47.600 the door with your left hand right and then like 0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:49.759 try to shimmy out and then reach back and keep 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:52.080 the door open for them. It's awkward. That's why the 0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:55.320 door opens. Should never come into the store. But regardless 0:49:55.400 --> 0:49:57.520 it opened out and they were wrong, I was gonna 0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:01.960 rule in favor of the orientation of the door. And 0:50:02.040 --> 0:50:05.920 in most cases, when you're walking and go out, it's 0:50:05.920 --> 0:50:08.600 a push door going out, so you go first. But 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:11.680 if it's a pull door, going out the people something 0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:15.319 going in gets to go first. Do you understand where 0:50:15.320 --> 0:50:17.520 I'm coming from? Yes, yes, I understand that this was 0:50:17.600 --> 0:50:21.400 very But more importantly, we were writing. You were right, 0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:24.240 you messed with three with two people from Brooklyn and 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:27.520 my wife and my daughter. That's who have my attitude 0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:31.320 at this point towards idiots. So she's like, I'm sorry, honey, 0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:33.160 I got day when these rude people would let us 0:50:33.200 --> 0:50:35.480 go out first. Well, you don't even know which way 0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:42.400 you're going. Sound like March Simpson's sister. Yeahs Selma, Salma, 0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:45.799 who smokes too much? I could, I could do. March 0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.000 Simpson says, sister, you look like you had a good 0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:50.279 time on the trip overall. I did, but there's so 0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:53.040 many great stories of douchebags on the trip. Problem is, 0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:56.160 a cruise is supposed to be relaxing, and you're not relaxing. 0:50:56.560 --> 0:51:04.719 You're getting yourself agitated place a piece. I was relaxed intermittently. 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:07.960 So here was a sign I saw a scary Remember 0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:09.279 when we did that thing like a little more than 0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:13.360 under a minute? Yes, right, okay, tell me what this means. 0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:16.080 There was an art gallery and this an art gallery 0:51:16.120 --> 0:51:22.520 shows under five hundred, under five hundred and more, My 0:51:22.640 --> 0:51:27.399 brain hurts, Wait, under five hundred dollars dollars and more 0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:34.359 and more? Wow, under five hundred, But it could mean 0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:39.480 under maybe a piece cost fifteen hundred dollars and it's 0:51:39.560 --> 0:51:42.640 under it's under five hundred dollars, there's five hundred dollars less, 0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:46.319 so it's one thousand and more like if so it's 0:51:46.320 --> 0:51:50.080 if it's eight fifty, it's eight fifty. Now I don't know. 0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:54.400 I'm trying to even see where they would have that up. 0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:56.439 So I thought, I thought it might have meant under 0:51:56.480 --> 0:51:59.799 five hundred and more under five hundred, like like under 0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:02.320 two hundred, right under five hundred and more. Yeah, but 0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:05.920 under five hundred is still under. Any number under five 0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:10.120 hundred is gonna work, so you don't need the work more. Well. 0:52:10.160 --> 0:52:11.920 But but then I thought, is it un like other 0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.880 articles that are under five hundred and articles that are 0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:18.120 more money. I couldn't figure it out, so I asked. 0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:21.520 What they said was, we want people to know we 0:52:21.560 --> 0:52:24.360 have items that are cheaper than five hundred dollars, but 0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:26.520 we also want people to know there are expensive items, 0:52:27.080 --> 0:52:28.680 because we don't want them to think all the items 0:52:28.719 --> 0:52:31.000 are under five hundred. My head hirts, my head hirts. 0:52:31.280 --> 0:52:33.319 But you're thinking about this, this is this is this 0:52:33.400 --> 0:52:37.839 is ludicrous under five hundred and more. So okay, why 0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:40.640 couldn't you just say starting at two hundred or something 0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:44.360 you could have but some people don't. Yeah, some people 0:52:44.360 --> 0:52:47.600 don't identify that way, or they don't want or many 0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:50.960 items as low, many items under five hundred dollars. It's like, 0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:54.960 it's obviously not all of them. Excuse under fire. You're 0:52:54.960 --> 0:53:00.560 gonna make a phone call. Yeah, he loves when I 0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:05.759 just surprised him with hello girls time. Oh shit, Oh 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:09.480 we're all together though. What's up? Oh? Man, God, you're 0:53:09.520 --> 0:53:11.520 on the Brooken Boys podcast. I needed you to talk 0:53:11.560 --> 0:53:15.160 to David Brodie. It's Ali gold You have a quick 0:53:15.200 --> 0:53:18.040 second or no, yea, I have a quick second.

I'll make this very quick. 0:53:26.719 --> 0:53:28.800 What did you when you had the matzo ball soup? 0:53:28.920 --> 0:53:31.840 You being Jewish? Talk to talk about what was in 0:53:31.960 --> 0:53:34.880 that and what you thought of it. Well, there's a 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.440 lot more green when it came to the table. I 0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:42.600 was not expecting it. Yes, but what it's delicious, Brodie? 0:53:44.160 --> 0:53:46.600 I thought it was good. Hold on, hold on? Do 0:53:46.680 --> 0:53:50.720 you eat? Do you eat pickles? No? I hate pickles? Okay? 0:53:50.760 --> 0:53:52.640 Do you eat dial? Would you eat like deal? Potato chips? 0:53:54.680 --> 0:53:57.440 What's that? I don't know what that is? Like potato chips? 0:53:57.440 --> 0:53:59.120 Would deal flay? You like dial? In other words, you 0:53:59.440 --> 0:54:01.600 enjoy the tapast of dill? No, no, I don't. I 0:54:01.680 --> 0:54:03.520 don't like the taste of dill. It did not tease 0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:09.959 dilly to me. I feel like I would know what soup? Yeah, okay. 0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:12.400 Can we agree though, that your grandmother and my grandmother 0:54:12.480 --> 0:54:14.880 would not put tons of dial in their muntz of soup? Right? 0:54:15.320 --> 0:54:16.719 You know? They would have spit on me if they 0:54:16.800 --> 0:54:19.960 knew I liked your grandma. Grandma's sitting by the fire. 0:54:20.600 --> 0:54:24.160 That's right, That's right, okay. I just wanted to get 0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:27.160 your opinion on that, because which you know, the Sidel's 0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.719 debate has been a long thing. It's a running theme 0:54:29.760 --> 0:54:33.120 on our podcast. I'm so excited that another fellow Jewish 0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:36.640 person was sitting next to me and joined Saidel's motzahle 0:54:36.719 --> 0:54:40.879 soup with dill Okay, hold on, would you say that Saidel's, 0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:43.600 which I call Saidel's because they put dill on everything. 0:54:44.040 --> 0:54:46.720 Would you say, would you say it's the best Jewish 0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:50.279 food in all of New York. I thought the food 0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:53.160 was great, but it's not even kosher, right, so I 0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:59.720 wouldn't consider that Jewish food kosher style, I mean the style. 0:55:00.520 --> 0:55:02.640 I think it's a knockoff of Jewish food. But it 0:55:03.080 --> 0:55:07.080 was delicious. That liked it, but delicious delicious. Okay, all right, 0:55:07.080 --> 0:55:08.759 that's all we need. Go back to girls time. I 0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:11.600 feel terrible we're interrupting this. No, it's okay. I'm just 0:55:11.800 --> 0:55:14.480 a bottle of wine deep thanks to Elvis. So were 0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:16.239 you guys? Where are you guys eating right now? No? 0:55:16.400 --> 0:55:19.080 No big deal. Um. What was the name of the restaurant? 0:55:19.200 --> 0:55:24.160 Carpaccio still is the name? That's a great place. Oh 0:55:24.239 --> 0:55:26.839 my god? What kind of shoes?

Elvis took 0:55:36.360 --> 0:55:39.800 the girls shoe shopping today, all the girls on the show. Okay, 0:55:39.960 --> 0:55:42.719 Well then, yeah, okay, I here's a question. I have 0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:47.120 a question for you. Uh, many years ago, Elvis took 0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:50.279 the boy's shoe shopping. I was not there. I was 0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:53.160 I was away, you were away. Everybody got new shoes, 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.040 but you, and you didn't get a rain check. Elvis 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:57.080 did not off you a rain check. No, you're miss shoes. 0:55:57.239 --> 0:55:59.760 Never got them. But but no, nor did I expect 0:55:59.800 --> 0:56:03.520 them because I missed it. Yeah, those shoes, which are 0:56:03.560 --> 0:56:06.480 the most expensive shoes I ever owned and will ever own, 0:56:06.760 --> 0:56:09.359 which he was kind enough to purchase for me. I've 0:56:09.440 --> 0:56:13.160 worn and it's been about eight years. It's been a while. 0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:18.680 I want to say it's been maybe nine years. Maybe 0:56:18.719 --> 0:56:23.000 it's been a while. I've worn them maybe ten times. 0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:26.920 I wear them two really big events. I wear them 0:56:27.000 --> 0:56:28.840 on the cruise as I go on because you're not 0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:32.000 on the sidewalk, you're on carpeting. So I baby them. 0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:37.120 But I've never worn them to an event that that 0:56:37.320 --> 0:56:41.200 that any of you guys have ever seen. I've always warned, 0:56:41.360 --> 0:56:43.560 like to like a family party or on the cruise. 0:56:44.760 --> 0:56:46.279 I may have warned them on a cruise, but you guys, 0:56:46.400 --> 0:56:51.200 you didn't notice. Is it okay to wear them tomorrow night? 0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:54.239 If I choose to wear them to the event, of course, 0:56:55.239 --> 0:56:59.000 why wouldn't you? Okay, no, it's fine because they were 0:56:59.080 --> 0:57:01.520 like a gift, but they were so Mike, still my 0:57:01.600 --> 0:57:04.520 favorite shoes. You can't make this shit up. Okay, go ahead, 0:57:04.640 --> 0:57:07.600 something just popped up, and ahead, I would say, you 0:57:07.640 --> 0:57:11.319 can what happened? Is this for the podcast? And yes 0:57:11.960 --> 0:57:15.239 it will be. This is this too? This is too coincidental? Okay, 0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:18.480 did somebody did Ali fuck something up? No? No, no, no, 0:57:18.680 --> 0:57:21.400 no no no, this is great. Let's finish this thought. 0:57:22.320 --> 0:57:24.480 And because on the other side of this break, we're 0:57:24.520 --> 0:57:28.080 gonna talk to Scott Atkins from John w FO. Okay, 0:57:29.360 --> 0:57:32.640 all right, so you're gonna we're gonna introduce the conversation 0:57:32.680 --> 0:57:35.760 with John, right, I mean we're gonna yeah, like well 0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.960 we yeah, well we yeah, we'll figure it out, right. Yeah. 0:57:38.040 --> 0:57:41.320 The point is you, why wouldn't you wear those shoes? 0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:43.480 These are the these are the times to wear those 0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:45.840 shoes when I know, because you're not gonna get out. 0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:48.240 I mean, you gotta make the most out of it. 0:57:48.600 --> 0:57:50.600 I hear you. Well, no one's gonna recognize them and go, 0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:54.480 oh those are the shoes that oh no, no, no, no, right, 0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:56.520 all right, so I'm thinking about it because they go 0:57:56.600 --> 0:57:58.000 really well with the blazer I want to wear, and 0:57:58.040 --> 0:58:01.439 if I'm gonna go cocked casual, my only my only 0:58:01.640 --> 0:58:05.080 downside is with my knee hurting. They're not the most 0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:10.080 soft shoes. They're a little sturdy. They're like really well made, 0:58:10.120 --> 0:58:11.920 and they're not gonna be given I don't know. But 0:58:12.120 --> 0:58:15.120 but you're saying it's okay to wear them. Yeah, I may. 0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:18.320 I may wear I may wear the very very very 0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:23.640 cocktail casual. That's fine. Okay. So here's why I'm laughing. 0:58:24.440 --> 0:58:26.600 We just got off the phone with Ali Gold talking 0:58:26.640 --> 0:58:30.320 about Sidel's and Dill. Yeah, all of a sudden, something 0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:32.840 just got added to my calendar, my work calendar for 0:58:32.880 --> 0:58:37.479 the Big show. Okay, in studio guest on March twenty eighth, 0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:46.200 Mario Carbone, the owner of Sidel's. I have to I 0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:53.480 have to say it's been us. Carbone also owns Carbone Ahead. Yeah, okay, 0:58:53.560 --> 0:58:55.960 not a sponsor. It's been seven months since I've been 0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:58.080 on the show roughly. I have to say, this is 0:58:58.120 --> 0:59:01.760 the first time I think himset I'm not gonna be there. Yeah, 0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:04.040 because I would like to tell him to his face 0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:07.040 not to put so much fucking dial in the Mutsi 0:59:07.120 --> 0:59:12.520 ball soup. I'm fine with it. You know, a Jew 0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:15.480 and by the way, there's nothing more Jewish sounding than 0:59:15.720 --> 0:59:22.040 Mario Carbone. I rest my case. If the Mario wasn't enough, 0:59:22.360 --> 0:59:26.080 Carbone certainly is. It's a testament to all the old 0:59:26.200 --> 0:59:30.080 Jewish world of the Lower East Side of Manhattan and 0:59:30.920 --> 0:59:34.600 the Jewish settlers of the nineteenth century. I'm not trying 0:59:34.640 --> 0:59:40.439 to Jews plain. I'm just explaining why he why he's 0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:43.439 a fan. I'm a fan. You could. He's a chef. 0:59:43.560 --> 0:59:45.880 He's allowed to do a thing. He doesn't mean he 0:59:45.920 --> 0:59:48.560 doesn't have to be Jewish to have the Jewish style cooking. Okay, 0:59:48.640 --> 0:59:51.000 let me ask you a question. Here we go. Would 0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:55.280 you go to Maria Brahmo, it's his house of parmesan 0:59:55.480 --> 1:00:05.640 why not? Come on? I'm open minded man, Okay, Schlomo 1:00:05.760 --> 1:00:12.000 Goldstein's talk away house, going to Mexican food, I trust it. 1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:16.480 I trust it. There were Jews in Mexico, right, were 1:00:16.520 --> 1:00:20.240 there Mexicans in Israel? I don't think there were Mexicans 1:00:20.280 --> 1:00:22.720 in Israel necessarily, but there's Jews everywhere. Because it's not 1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:27.280 a it's a it's a religion. Religion. I just i 1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:29.040 don't see it. Now. That doesn't mean that a Jew 1:00:29.080 --> 1:00:33.200 can't make good Italian food. I'm just saying Mario Carbone 1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:35.720 has given me you know, all right, I'd rather I'd 1:00:35.800 --> 1:00:38.720 rather my family make the Jewish food for him. That's 1:00:38.720 --> 1:00:45.840 all scary, all right, David Brodie, it's time since since 1:00:45.880 --> 1:00:49.360 we went to commercial. We stopped and we recorded an interview, yeah, 1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:54.200 with Scott Atkins, who is a martial arts master and 1:00:54.440 --> 1:00:56.960 an actor and a director and a producer and a 1:00:57.040 --> 1:01:01.480 writer who's in the new john Wick for previously recorded. 1:01:01.520 --> 1:01:05.320 We recorded it right before we started this podcast, probably 1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:09.840 minutes before. Oh yeah, And at that time Brody and 1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:14.280 I got on the phone call and realized Brodie's microphone 1:01:14.760 --> 1:01:16.240 is not working and he sounds like he's in a 1:01:16.320 --> 1:01:20.720 fucking bathroom. Yeah, all right, Brodie, try and calm your nerves. 1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:24.240 We're connecting with Scott Atkins right now. He plays Killer 1:01:24.280 --> 1:01:27.040 in john Wick four, which is out this weekend. I 1:01:27.200 --> 1:01:29.680 am an obsessed fan of the first three, as I 1:01:29.800 --> 1:01:34.800 know you are so welcome. First off, I did want 1:01:34.840 --> 1:01:37.120 to give my condolences on the loss of Lance Reddick, 1:01:37.480 --> 1:01:40.760 your co star in the movie. Yeah, he played Sharon. 1:01:41.320 --> 1:01:44.600 Did you have any scenes with him in the new movie. Unfortunately, know, 1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:49.480 unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to mates Lance. But 1:01:49.720 --> 1:01:54.120 from talking to everyone, you know, nothing but praise for 1:01:54.160 --> 1:01:59.000 the man here. He was just a gentleman, a beautiful soul. 1:01:59.480 --> 1:02:03.080 And yeah, everybody's just shocked and saddened, and you know, 1:02:03.240 --> 1:02:06.320 your harm goes out andswer his family. Yeah, now, you 1:02:06.360 --> 1:02:08.840 didn't do any scenes with him. The movie is filmed 1:02:09.200 --> 1:02:11.640 all over the world, just to name a few. I 1:02:11.720 --> 1:02:16.720 know it's New York, Japan, France, Germany. Is that accurate? Yeah, 1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:21.080 I was in the Germany section. Okay, so we've seen 1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:25.919 the scenes on YouTube of you at the card table. Yeah, 1:02:26.520 --> 1:02:31.280 where there's four assassins. I understand you learned how to 1:02:31.320 --> 1:02:35.360 do card tricks for this movie. I did. Now, Luckily 1:02:35.400 --> 1:02:37.080 I haven't got a pack of cards with me today 1:02:37.520 --> 1:02:40.160 because I think I forgot. But I did learn it 1:02:40.200 --> 1:02:42.280 for the movie. Yeah, and I flicked the card and 1:02:42.400 --> 1:02:46.080 catch yet and I did that every take successfully. I 1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:48.480 was pretty happy with myself. Yeah. Does that count is 1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:52.760 doing your own stunts? Well? Yeah, I couldn't have had 1:02:52.800 --> 1:02:55.360 my eye out with that. Yeah. Hey, So for people 1:02:55.360 --> 1:02:56.960 who don't know, and you know, I listen, how do 1:02:56.960 --> 1:02:59.680 you not know about the john Wick franchise? Right? This 1:02:59.800 --> 1:03:01.880 is the fourth and storm it could just bring everybody 1:03:01.960 --> 1:03:05.120 up to speed, specifically about who you play in the 1:03:05.320 --> 1:03:07.400 in the film, which is Killer. And then I want 1:03:07.400 --> 1:03:09.680 you to talk a little bit about the daily prepping 1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:12.000 of how you got into this fat suit. I've been 1:03:12.080 --> 1:03:14.880 bugging the director since the first movie to give me 1:03:14.960 --> 1:03:17.760 a part in john Wick real four films in finally 1:03:17.840 --> 1:03:19.760 gives me the call, Scott, if you want to be 1:03:19.800 --> 1:03:23.400 in the John Wick movie. Yeah, there's only one catch. 1:03:24.040 --> 1:03:26.880 You're going to be in this fat suit and needs 1:03:26.920 --> 1:03:30.760 you to be German. It's not gonna be easy. You're 1:03:30.800 --> 1:03:35.000 going to be in the rain indoors. You need to 1:03:35.080 --> 1:03:38.280 learn card tricks. Are you work for the challenge? And 1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:41.440 aside from the initial bias of thinking, Wow, I'm going 1:03:41.480 --> 1:03:42.880 to get to be in john Wick for and maybe 1:03:42.920 --> 1:03:45.920 nobody's not going to know it's me, after I got 1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:49.320 over that little bit, I was very excited to to, 1:03:49.640 --> 1:03:51.800 you know, for the opportunity to create this character from 1:03:51.840 --> 1:03:54.320 the ground up. So Killer Harkan is the head of 1:03:54.360 --> 1:03:59.920 the German table and he is a feared, revered assassin 1:04:00.640 --> 1:04:02.440 that maybe has let himself go a little bit in 1:04:02.480 --> 1:04:05.240 his later years, but when it when it all comes 1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:06.600 down to it, he's still got a bit of gas 1:04:06.720 --> 1:04:09.880 left in the engine. And it's just a fun, you know, 1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:13.720 great part to play. Shall we roll lots of dialogue. 1:04:14.200 --> 1:04:17.240 Had a blast playing the character. I miss him from 1:04:17.280 --> 1:04:19.440 from what I have an interview. I saw the director 1:04:19.480 --> 1:04:21.959 at a chad. He said he had a character in mind, 1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:24.480 but you decided you have no one to blame but yourself. 1:04:25.080 --> 1:04:29.080 You added more impairments to the character. Can you explain 1:04:29.120 --> 1:04:33.040 what you came up with and why? Um? Well, yeah, 1:04:33.200 --> 1:04:38.000 the so the the coughing and the inhaler and the accents. 1:04:38.320 --> 1:04:40.000 You know, he pretty much gave me free rein to 1:04:40.160 --> 1:04:42.760 just I don't know why he trusted me with it. 1:04:44.480 --> 1:04:46.160 Somehow felt that I'd be able to pull it off. 1:04:46.560 --> 1:04:48.600 So yeah, I started off with the voice and listen 1:04:48.640 --> 1:04:52.600 to a lot of German actors but settled on this. Actually, 1:04:52.680 --> 1:04:57.000 that reminds me because do you remember the young Frankenstein, Yes, 1:04:57.080 --> 1:05:00.360 of course, And do you remember to go to Luck 1:05:00.400 --> 1:05:04.640 a ditch? And it was, yeah, the first accent. I 1:05:04.800 --> 1:05:06.640 was listening to that guy and I felt like that 1:05:06.840 --> 1:05:08.400 might be way in but that would have been completely 1:05:08.440 --> 1:05:10.280 out there. I'm glad I didn't go with that. And 1:05:10.400 --> 1:05:13.480 then I satled on Ronald Lacie from Vaders of the 1:05:13.560 --> 1:05:16.720 Lost Ark, the guy that grabbed the thing and plans 1:05:16.760 --> 1:05:19.360 his hand, and he had this voice said to us 1:05:19.440 --> 1:05:24.880 like yes, And even though it was an English actor 1:05:25.160 --> 1:05:27.480 with his version of a German accent, that just felt 1:05:27.640 --> 1:05:30.120 right right. I almost went with the young frankastar at 1:05:30.200 --> 1:05:32.440 some point that would have been really wild. Wow, So 1:05:32.560 --> 1:05:34.960 you settled on that accent? You know, you know you're 1:05:34.960 --> 1:05:38.120 a seasoned martial artists stuntman, You've been in all these films. 1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:41.320 What was it like doing what you normally do, which 1:05:41.400 --> 1:05:44.360 comes natural to you in a fat suit? How was that? 1:05:44.600 --> 1:05:46.960 There was there a transition period? Was there some things 1:05:47.000 --> 1:05:49.720 that you needed to learn relearn? No, it was it 1:05:49.800 --> 1:05:52.760 was okay. It wasn't as heavy as it looks. Actually, 1:05:52.760 --> 1:05:55.120 it was important for us to sell the weight of 1:05:55.440 --> 1:05:57.000 the suit, you know, for it to be looked like 1:05:57.160 --> 1:05:59.160 I was really that big. We felt that if I 1:05:59.240 --> 1:06:03.640 started doing any extravagant flying kicks that you'd immediately tell 1:06:03.720 --> 1:06:06.320 the you know, I'm not twenty five stone or whatever 1:06:06.400 --> 1:06:09.720 I'm supposed to be. We wanted to keep them the Marshal, 1:06:10.080 --> 1:06:11.400 you know, we wanted to sell the fact that he 1:06:11.720 --> 1:06:13.919 used to be this guy that could do amazing things, 1:06:14.360 --> 1:06:18.200 but now times took his toll. He's been eating way 1:06:18.200 --> 1:06:22.360 too many biscuits. Ate that. Wait, we didn't want to 1:06:22.360 --> 1:06:25.560 get rid of gravity. Sure, okay, now, Scott, talking about 1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:29.400 movies you've done previously, some of your movie titles basically 1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:36.240 explain them as violent fighting films. So Legacy of Lies, 1:06:36.880 --> 1:06:43.520 you've done, Avengement, Triple Threat, Abduction, No Surrender, The Dead Collector. 1:06:44.440 --> 1:06:46.280 A lot of them have these titles that you know 1:06:46.400 --> 1:06:49.320 what you're getting. Yeah. Have you ever thought about doing 1:06:49.360 --> 1:06:54.640 a rom com? No? Okay, because your director described you 1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:56.360 as one of the best looking men on the planet. 1:06:56.760 --> 1:06:58.880 My worry would be if I did a rom com 1:06:59.400 --> 1:07:02.439 that would help to savagely smash someone in the face. 1:07:03.000 --> 1:07:06.840 And you know that's what my fans want, right. Well, 1:07:06.840 --> 1:07:08.560 how great would it be if you find your love 1:07:08.640 --> 1:07:11.200 interest and you know there's always a good looking blind 1:07:11.240 --> 1:07:13.680 guy that gives you problems in the middle of the 1:07:13.720 --> 1:07:16.720 film where she's torn between you and him. They wouldn't 1:07:16.720 --> 1:07:19.800 be the problem. You would just beat him up. Yeah, Yeah, 1:07:20.800 --> 1:07:23.080 and then you know he could kill her and I 1:07:23.200 --> 1:07:27.360 go on a revenge mission. And yes, now what it 1:07:27.480 --> 1:07:30.480 is is I I've got a fan base, and because 1:07:30.480 --> 1:07:34.160 I remember having some watching some action guys when I 1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:37.600 was a teenager and just being really disappointed when they 1:07:37.640 --> 1:07:40.120 started trying to do other things because I didn't want 1:07:40.240 --> 1:07:42.880 Van Dam to do Nowhere to Run. I wanted him 1:07:42.920 --> 1:07:45.360 to do Hard Target, I wanted him to do Time Cup. 1:07:45.400 --> 1:07:47.800 I wanted him to do blood Sport too, And that 1:07:47.920 --> 1:07:51.160 has really stuck with me. So I've got really loyal 1:07:51.240 --> 1:07:53.120 fan base, and I want to keep giving them what 1:07:53.160 --> 1:07:55.680 they want. Now, I try and mix some genres within 1:07:55.760 --> 1:07:58.680 the action movies, like it's action slash sci fi or 1:07:58.920 --> 1:08:02.000 action slash comedy, but I like to keep the action 1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:04.440 there because I had it to my fan base. But 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:08.080 never say never, is this your first foray into a 1:08:08.240 --> 1:08:12.880 comedic slightly comedic role. It isn't my first, No. I 1:08:12.920 --> 1:08:15.160 mean you can see from so when I started producing 1:08:15.400 --> 1:08:17.639 and writing some of my own projects, you can see 1:08:17.640 --> 1:08:20.800 the comedy coming through. So Accident Man was something I 1:08:21.120 --> 1:08:23.519 started to put more comedy into that Debt Collector we 1:08:23.920 --> 1:08:27.040 rewrote and had a lot of import There's a lot 1:08:27.040 --> 1:08:29.960 of comedic moments and that I tried something full on 1:08:30.160 --> 1:08:32.840 max Cloud, which didn't necessarily work, but I was moving 1:08:32.880 --> 1:08:34.920 more into the comedy. I'm a big fan. Was talking 1:08:34.960 --> 1:08:38.680 about being a big fan of Mine's Python earlier. So 1:08:39.120 --> 1:08:40.920 if I'm left to my own devices, that's something I 1:08:41.000 --> 1:08:43.960 would lean into. And this. I don't remember having a 1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:47.120 conversation with the director about comedy for john Wick, but 1:08:47.680 --> 1:08:49.040 you know, I was in the suits and it kind 1:08:49.040 --> 1:08:51.200 of lent itself to that, and I lent into it 1:08:51.320 --> 1:08:54.519 and did works out a lot of action flicks, it 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:58.240 feels like putting villains in It's like putting a square 1:08:58.240 --> 1:09:00.160 peg in a round hole and there's really no no 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:02.880 character development. What is it about the john Wick series 1:09:03.280 --> 1:09:07.040 where the characters around John Wick and the villains and 1:09:07.120 --> 1:09:10.280 everyone is just as interesting. What is it about the writing, 1:09:10.320 --> 1:09:12.840 the directing, the action? There's got it. There's a secret 1:09:12.880 --> 1:09:15.080 sauce in the john Wick franchise which has made it 1:09:15.280 --> 1:09:17.360 so popular all these years. Can you can you talk 1:09:17.360 --> 1:09:19.800 a little bit about the character development and why they're 1:09:19.800 --> 1:09:21.519 so likable and you want to see them in their 1:09:21.560 --> 1:09:24.160 own spin offs? Yeah? Well, I think that the unit 1:09:24.200 --> 1:09:28.280 of the john Wick world is quite enigmatic. Kids he's 1:09:28.320 --> 1:09:32.400 not over explained. You have to try and figure some 1:09:32.520 --> 1:09:36.839 things out for yourself. Every character is kind of shady, 1:09:36.920 --> 1:09:39.400 even John Wick, you know. I mean, he's the world's 1:09:39.479 --> 1:09:44.000 greatest assassin. He's killed hundreds and hundreds of people, but 1:09:44.160 --> 1:09:47.439 people love him. People love him because he's played by 1:09:47.720 --> 1:09:53.920 Keanu Reeves. So Chad the director, he just believes that 1:09:55.080 --> 1:09:57.320 it's it's not the action you've fallen in love with. Yes, 1:09:57.400 --> 1:09:59.800 the action is amazing, but you're falling in love with 1:09:59.840 --> 1:10:03.240 the characters. And if you don't like John Wick, or 1:10:03.320 --> 1:10:05.719 even if you don't like the bad guys, the characters 1:10:05.800 --> 1:10:07.960 that you're spending time with, you're not going to enjoy 1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:10.800 the process as much. So I have to agree with 1:10:11.040 --> 1:10:14.040 both of you, because when you watch the movies, the 1:10:14.200 --> 1:10:17.040 bad guys are so good, you're hoping they don't die 1:10:17.160 --> 1:10:20.519 at the end, but you are, Yeah, you want them 1:10:20.560 --> 1:10:23.200 to get it, but you enjoy the process of them 1:10:23.280 --> 1:10:26.080 get in it. Now, the reviews of this movie have 1:10:26.200 --> 1:10:28.680 been off the charts. You are not doing press with 1:10:28.800 --> 1:10:31.599 us today because you've got a stinker film you're trying 1:10:31.640 --> 1:10:36.320 to promote and help out Rotten Tomatoes. People are calling 1:10:36.400 --> 1:10:40.240 this by far the best John Wick film, which is 1:10:40.240 --> 1:10:43.880 an incredible statement. One of the best action movies in years, 1:10:44.200 --> 1:10:47.760 most violent and action packed john Wick film yet. So 1:10:48.160 --> 1:10:50.360 you have to feel pretty confident going into the weekend 1:10:50.400 --> 1:10:53.800 knowing you're already going to be number one. Absolutely, let's hope. 1:10:53.800 --> 1:10:57.599 So Thinker's crossed. You were in Doctor Strange, so it's 1:10:57.800 --> 1:11:00.320 this may not be your biggest film, but it'll be 1:11:00.800 --> 1:11:03.840 one of the two biggest. Would that be fair to say? Yeah, 1:11:03.960 --> 1:11:05.760 it's that they're saying it's going to be big, and 1:11:06.080 --> 1:11:08.439 it should be big. It's I'm a big fan of 1:11:08.560 --> 1:11:10.920 all the John Wicks, but this one in particular is 1:11:11.400 --> 1:11:14.160 mind blowing. You're going to see stuff though. He's just 1:11:14.320 --> 1:11:16.760 gonna you've never seen you before, and the director things 1:11:16.760 --> 1:11:18.680 outside the box. I mean, think about the dogs doing 1:11:19.120 --> 1:11:22.200 jiu jitsu and you come up with that stuff. There's 1:11:22.200 --> 1:11:24.160 a car sequence in this that will blow your mind. 1:11:24.400 --> 1:11:28.640 There's a sequence with a shotgun with dragon's breath ammunition 1:11:29.160 --> 1:11:32.479 that will you've ever seen before. Wow. And you got 1:11:32.520 --> 1:11:36.680 the nun Chucks, you got the samurai, the yeah my 1:11:36.920 --> 1:11:39.840 sequence in the German Club. It's amazing. There's all sorts 1:11:39.920 --> 1:11:43.080 going on, so much action. Fourth times a charm. Congratulations, 1:11:43.120 --> 1:11:45.760 I'm finally getting into this and I can't wait to 1:11:45.800 --> 1:11:48.320 see you this weekend.

Yes, yes 1:12:11.240 --> 1:12:15.439 you do, because it's a continuous story and a world 1:12:15.960 --> 1:12:19.920 that they've created with Assassin rules and this. You have 1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:21.800 to see all four of them. But it's worth it. 1:12:22.280 --> 1:12:24.720 Go see all four of them.
