Speaker 1: and he's he's always kicking somebody's ass. And he's one
Speaker 1: of those guys that you you may not the name
Speaker 1: is a ring a bell, but then when you see
Speaker 1: him his movies, if you've seen his movies, yeah, but
Speaker 1: he's definitely a familiar face. But in this case, in
Speaker 1: this film, he's unrecognizable because he wears he wears a
Speaker 1: fat suit. Well we'll talk about that later. All right, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So I went on a cruise this week
Speaker 1: and I did some things I wouldn't normally do. I
Speaker 1: was very bold. My family likes to make fun of
Speaker 1: the fact I'm afraid of most things. So this you
Speaker 1: spend money. Ha ha ha uh. This particular ship, we
Speaker 1: were on Royal Caribbean International. We were on Anthem of
Speaker 1: the Seas, which leaves out of New Jersey, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you live in New Jersey, it's a
Speaker 1: quick trip, no plane. And we left at a Bayonne.
Speaker 1: We went under the Arizono Bridge, which is awesome. But
Speaker 1: you left at Bayonne. And you know what they say
Speaker 1: about Bayonne is if it's from Bayonne, leave it alone. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: that's what they say. I mean, I didn't make this up,
Speaker 1: don't but Bayonne. I'm not looking to promote the Bayone tourism.
Speaker 1: But they have a massive new development on the water
Speaker 1: of town homes and apartments. It looked really nice with
Speaker 1: a view of the Arizono Bridge in Brooklyn, Staten Island.
Speaker 1: If you don't know the area, you're like, what is
Speaker 1: he talking about. There's a lot of developmental things going.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Cafe below on avenue. See okay, all right.
Speaker 1: So in addition, so first of all, I had never
Speaker 1: been on a Royal cribbin before. Um mostly we did
Speaker 1: Norwegian Cruise Line, so this was this was a change.
Speaker 1: The ship was available and so we took it, and
Speaker 1: they had a couple of things on it that normally
Speaker 1: I might not have done. They have a a three
Speaker 1: sixty globe you get into and it's got a hydraulic
Speaker 1: arm and it goes up three hundred feet over the
Speaker 1: ship and over the water. Oh wow. Which so we
Speaker 1: did it in the Bahamas, so we had an incredible
Speaker 1: view of the other ships docked there as well as
Speaker 1: um Nasa. A hydraulic arm that lifted you up. Well,
Speaker 1: it lifted the giant globe of ten of us in
Speaker 1: the ball oh yeah, almost like the skill crane game.
Speaker 1: And the snow globe ten of you was like a
Speaker 1: stuffed animal right. Well, thankfully it didn't drop us like
Speaker 1: the crane game, which is rigged. So I did that.
Speaker 1: I am at a middle of the middle, maybe after
Speaker 1: a couple of drinks, so I did that, which was
Speaker 1: high for me and I don't love heights, but I
Speaker 1: did that. And then also on anthem of the seas
Speaker 1: they have. I fled. You know what I fly is? No,
Speaker 1: so you you put on like a flight suit. Is
Speaker 1: that the new Is that the new airplane from Apple?
Speaker 1: I fly? Nope, nope, nope, no, no, no no, because I
Speaker 1: would have used the Android version. Uh. This is it's
Speaker 1: a cylinder that blows air from the ground and you
Speaker 1: it's like you're jumping out of a plane. So you
Speaker 1: have a helmet and goggles and you jump into this
Speaker 1: tube with an instructor and it floats you up. You
Speaker 1: have to keep you body in a certain position. And
Speaker 1: I did that. That's great. Again, my family did not
Speaker 1: think I would do it. That's not how I got injured.
Speaker 1: So I have, Um, I have what's becoming a bad knee. Um.
Speaker 1: And so, uh, my left knee needed to get an
Speaker 1: injection of gel in my joint. I'm jelling, so the
Speaker 1: cartilage is wearing out in my left It's pain it's painful.
Speaker 1: You're like a broken down caboose. Nah, I'm sure about
Speaker 1: the caboose apart. My ass is fine, So eventually I
Speaker 1: will need to get a knee replacement. Everyone it's a
Speaker 1: lifetime of being a fake athlete and playing sports like
Speaker 1: I do. So the well I althoptis put the gel
Speaker 1: in my in my uh knee and he said, at
Speaker 1: last six months it'll take away most of the pain,
Speaker 1: which it has. And he said, you know, uh, you
Speaker 1: get with a shot every six months until you want
Speaker 1: the surgery, which I'm trying to put off. So I said, okay, great,
Speaker 1: I will. He didn't say any limitations. I said, I'm
Speaker 1: going on a cruise. He's like, have a great time.
Speaker 1: So the cruise left on Sunday. On Thursday, there's a
Speaker 1: dodgeball tournament. Now. I love dodgeball. When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I played dodgeball in camp. I was fantastic. Nobody could
Speaker 1: throw a ball. I couldn't. It was the opposite of
Speaker 1: that and dodgeball. Nobody would pick me and I would
Speaker 1: be okay. When I finally was put on a team,
Speaker 1: I would always be the one that was out first.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I beat the counselors. The
Speaker 1: counselors would throw at me. In my head, I caught everything.
Speaker 1: I was a large target and I would always okay.
Speaker 1: They would wail the So yeah, So I love dodgeball
Speaker 1: much like I do most sports. I can play, and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in my head, I'm still fourteen years old,
Speaker 1: twelve years old. And so they have this giant basketball
Speaker 1: court sports arena thing on the ship that you can
Speaker 1: play basketball and then as soccer, and then one on
Speaker 1: two days it turns into bump of cars. They put
Speaker 1: the cars on the track so it's like a slick
Speaker 1: basketball court. So in dodgeball, they we sign up and
Speaker 1: where teams have I I don't know, five or six
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and they put us on each side
Speaker 1: of the middle line, you know, like you would and
Speaker 1: on the line. Rather than one dodgeball, they put six
Speaker 1: smaller dodgeballs, bigger than a softball, smaller than a basketball,
Speaker 1: like palm you could palm the ball. They put six
Speaker 1: of them on the line. They tell us to stand
Speaker 1: back on the back line, and then when he says
Speaker 1: three two one dodgeball, we are supposed to run towards
Speaker 1: the line and grab the dodgeballs our side, their side.
Speaker 1: But you can't throw them. You can't throw them, you know,
Speaker 1: immediately you have to like then back up, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then then the game starts. Yeah. No, I've actually played
Speaker 1: that before. I remember the beginning of dodgeball. So I
Speaker 1: did I did he did three two one, and everybody
Speaker 1: ran and he stops us. There was no reason to
Speaker 1: stop us. He says, whoa, whoa, stop blows the whistle.
Speaker 1: Now you have to run hard. So I ran and
Speaker 1: there was no problem, and he says, I didn't say dodgeball.
Speaker 1: I go, We're seriously dude, okay. So then he goes
Speaker 1: three two one dodgeball, and I take three steps towards
Speaker 1: the line and my knee collapses. I'm still running, by
Speaker 1: the way, but my knee I have like a lightning
Speaker 1: bolt through my head of pain. So I start backing
Speaker 1: up so I don't get hit, and I'm limping back.
Speaker 1: The pain is unbearable, but I don't leave the court
Speaker 1: because that's not who I am. So I stayed and played,
Speaker 1: and I, you know, continued to deteriorate because you had
Speaker 1: to be how to be the man, right, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: the pain. I'm just gonna play through it. I hit
Speaker 1: a guy, knocked him out. I caught a ball, got
Speaker 1: him out. I'd lasted until two of us left me
Speaker 1: and the girl had hidden the back, so I was
Speaker 1: the target for everything because she stood in the back, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know my strategy. I'll stand in the back and
Speaker 1: never throw and never catch. So I got I run
Speaker 1: up to the line and I threw a ball at
Speaker 1: a guy and I hit him. And then coming off
Speaker 1: from the side, there's another ball and I couldn't move
Speaker 1: fast enough because on my knee, and I got hit.
Speaker 1: I couldn't turn fast enough. So I limped off the
Speaker 1: court ouch, afraid to tell my wife because she was
Speaker 1: said to me, you know, you probably shouldn't do that,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, my knee feels fine. I got the
Speaker 1: knee brace on, I got my personal sneakers. I'm good.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be great. Now were you were you
Speaker 1: like biting your tongue, were you riding in pain? Wildest?
Speaker 1: But so what at what point did you did you
Speaker 1: say to yourself, I'm playing. The more I play, the
Speaker 1: more I'm going to be injured. At when I knew
Speaker 1: that immediately tomorrow morning, So then what why didn't you stop?
Speaker 1: Because everyone on the court was twenty to twenty five
Speaker 1: and I wasn't moving, I wasn't getting off, So I
Speaker 1: stayed and I played. I beat a cup of them,
Speaker 1: and then afterwards I limped back to the hotel room.
Speaker 1: I texted my wife and I said hey, um, I'm
Speaker 1: just chilling in the room. Yeah, and then I so
Speaker 1: for two or three hours, I couldn't what day of
Speaker 1: the trip was this Thursday Thursday and we started Sunday,
Speaker 1: so Thursday, so it was towards the end, well towards
Speaker 1: the middle, a little past the middle. So by by
Speaker 1: Thursday night I could walk. By Friday, I was and
Speaker 1: I got in a hot tub, so that helped. I
Speaker 1: was mostly okay by Friday afternoon. But it was a
Speaker 1: day of like you idiot, Yeah, okay, I had a
Speaker 1: great time. I feel good. Now, how was the food?
Speaker 1: Food was good? The food was good. Um, we went
Speaker 1: to all of the restaurants. It's it's uh that particular
Speaker 1: ship is a little bit older, so they only had
Speaker 1: four specialty restaurants, whereas like some of the Norwegian ships
Speaker 1: we were on had six eight. So we did the
Speaker 1: four and then we repeated a couple what starts. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I did get some free dessert, which
Speaker 1: is nice, so originally the ship a second, the whole
Speaker 1: thing is free. You you've already paid into the whole experience, right, homie. Well,
Speaker 1: let let me let me tell you the story. The
Speaker 1: ship was supposed to dock in Cape Canaveral, which is
Speaker 1: forty minutes away from Orlando, which is like North and
Speaker 1: Central Jersey on the East coast. And at the time
Speaker 1: we were leaving that port, so we were gonna stay
Speaker 1: a day in that area, go to the beach. We
Speaker 1: were thinking about maybe going to Universal Studios. And so
Speaker 1: around an hour after we were supposed to leave that port,
Speaker 1: they were launching a rocket, a SpaceX rocket from that
Speaker 1: port and we would be able to see it. They
Speaker 1: sent this notification, You're gonna be able to see the
Speaker 1: launch of a rocket. I'm like, oh my god, I've
Speaker 1: never except on television, I've never seen a rocketport. It
Speaker 1: was your lucky day, Lucky day. And then we were
Speaker 1: gonna stop at the Nassau in the Bahamas, where we
Speaker 1: ever know, I've been there six times with the Morning
Speaker 1: Show and whatever. So and then we were gonna go
Speaker 1: to that private island. They have an island called Cocoa.
Speaker 1: Okay say which I know in the Bahamas they pronounced key,
Speaker 1: but it was Cocoka is according to everybody on the ship.
Speaker 1: So the day before the ship left, we get a
Speaker 1: memo saying one of the engines on the ship is
Speaker 1: not running at full speed and they have to repair it.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go a little slower. And because we're
Speaker 1: going a little slower, we're not gonna stop in Florida.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna get a refund back of one seventh
Speaker 1: of your trip. So I got we got back each
Speaker 1: of us one day's credit for not stopping in the dock,
Speaker 1: which we didn't care if we stopped there at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we was new found. It was just found money, right,
Speaker 1: Like you didn't care, but you got you got the money.
Speaker 1: It was like almost like a bonus check, right, and
Speaker 1: then we use that on the ship to buy shit,
Speaker 1: so it was it was great. So we got free shit,
Speaker 1: basically free ship for us because of it. So but
Speaker 1: in the course of the cruise there were so many
Speaker 1: podcast topics. My entire family got into a fight with
Speaker 1: a woman in the Bahamas, all of all four of us.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be a brody trip without it. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that later, but I want to
Speaker 1: get your week was without me while I was going
Speaker 1: on with you. I got hammered on Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1: And I'll talk about that in a second, Okay, the past.
Speaker 1: I mean hammered to the extent that Andrew from our
Speaker 1: Big show had to put me in an uber and
Speaker 1: send me home. Um, but I wouldn't go it. Hammered
Speaker 1: to the extent that the next day, coaster boy Josh,
Speaker 1: who was equally as drunk, if not worse, had to
Speaker 1: check in. I mean, dude to you, Okay, I'm telling you, Brody,
Speaker 1: I've never been this obliterated in my life. And it
Speaker 1: all started with day drinking on St. Patrick's Day. Let's
Speaker 1: be clear though, for everyone you are not Irish, not Irish,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't driving doesn't matter. It's a holiday. Nonetheless, No,
Speaker 1: I don't understand that there's a lot of drinking holidays
Speaker 1: that I'm not ethnically part of. Like, uh, but you drink,
Speaker 1: you drink on Passover and that isn't even a drinking
Speaker 1: holiday of course. Yeah, sinco de mayo, I'm in Bring
Speaker 1: it on Left Flag Day, you got wasted, you name it,
Speaker 1: Give me a reason to drink. I'm drinking. But it
Speaker 1: started with day drinking and doing shots. First, you have
Speaker 1: to realize there, I guess there's two types of drinkers.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's more. But when I'm out with my standing
Speaker 1: and the type on the floor right when I'm with
Speaker 1: my friends, my regular my Hoboken friends, real friends. Yeah, well, no,
Speaker 1: the guys that I do a lot of dinners with
Speaker 1: that I talk about. We I don't know if you
Speaker 1: call it adult type drinking, but we go slow. We
Speaker 1: like to do a start with with a cocktail at dinner.
Speaker 1: Then we'll move into some wine, and then we'll do
Speaker 1: the after dinner drink, and then we'll maybe do glass
Speaker 1: of whiskey, and then we'll do some uh, some cappuccino
Speaker 1: or some espresso with some sambuca. My friends have these
Speaker 1: a lot of drinks over the course of a few
Speaker 1: hours and layer it with different liquors. Okay, that's one
Speaker 1: type of drinker, and that's the kind of drinker I've
Speaker 1: become because I can't handle it fast and furious. And
Speaker 1: then there's like the people like Joey Gorga and Melissa
Speaker 1: Gorger from the Housewives of New Jersey, who I coincidentally
Speaker 1: ran into. Yeah, coincidence, No, it was. It was a coincidence.
Speaker 1: I was about to do day drinking with some of
Speaker 1: the sales team and some of my other friends, and
Speaker 1: they said, meet us at the Pig and the Parrot
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. That's a bar name the Pig and Parrot,
Speaker 1: The Pig and the Parrot. Yeah, you're picking the parrot.
Speaker 1: There's one at the Jersey Shore. There's one in Hoboken,
Speaker 1: so I said i'll be there. So it's five o'clock.
Speaker 1: I'm in the shower. I'm running late. I come out
Speaker 1: of the shower, I'm already on my way. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting dressed. And I get a bunch of texts
Speaker 1: from one of our friends, Amanda and Sales and she's like, scary,
Speaker 1: Joe Gorga is here with the housewives and they're all
Speaker 1: their friends, all the people from the TV show. If
Speaker 1: you're a fan of Real House of Wives in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: you definitely know who these people are. We know who
Speaker 1: they are. Get here now and I'm like, I'm on
Speaker 1: my way. Okay, okay. So I jump into taxi, sorry uber,
Speaker 1: and I show up and afford me thinking you, oh,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you had the slices, thinking you got
Speaker 1: into a regular taxi for a second. I get there
Speaker 1: all good slices. I'm still scary, yeah, scary. The booge
Speaker 1: man So and the next thing, you know, Joe Gorgon
Speaker 1: sees me, he lifts me up. He's already three hours
Speaker 1: in and he's like scarage joy and it was. It
Speaker 1: was hysterical actually, And then Melissa was there, his wife,
Speaker 1: and it was a good time. And I introduced the
Speaker 1: two groups. I love to be the person who brings
Speaker 1: groups of people together. I'm like, hey, meet my friends
Speaker 1: from sales at the radio station, and then you guys
Speaker 1: meet some of the housewives people. It was like a
Speaker 1: one big, happy family. The problem is it started fast
Speaker 1: and furious with shots. Let's do around the shots. No
Speaker 1: sooner do I put the shot glass down on the bar.
Speaker 1: They're already ordering round two, like you got some catch
Speaker 1: it up to do. I must have done four shots
Speaker 1: in about a half hour. That's not how Scary Jones drinks.
Speaker 1: I just call myself with the third person. But I
Speaker 1: don't drink that way. So now I'm like, oh fuck,
Speaker 1: and I'm on an empty stomach. The night just that,
Speaker 1: the Nights from the Nikes extends from there. Next thing
Speaker 1: you know, it's now five six hours later and I'm
Speaker 1: at the bar the Madison, where I totally gone. I'm
Speaker 1: with my other friends, my friend Will is with me,
Speaker 1: but we're like, we're we're We're several shots in and
Speaker 1: several drinks and rounds in and I see Andrew, a
Speaker 1: coastal boy, Josh come in. I'm so elated to see them, said,
Speaker 1: I hugged them. Yeah, and then I bit Andrew on
Speaker 1: the ear or elbow or something, and he's like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing? I'm like, I'm just so
Speaker 1: happy to see you now. I gotta say, when you
Speaker 1: bite someone, you can bite someone as a term of endearment,
Speaker 1: you can. It's an affectionate bite. There's a different you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you're just so excited, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm so drunk, I'm so happy, and you just bite them.
Speaker 1: That's what I did. Now. Some people will be like,
Speaker 1: you're fucking crazy. Other people do crazy shit when they
Speaker 1: see their friends after being drunk. If you're like if
Speaker 1: you're like literally hammered, like shit faced, and then you
Speaker 1: see someone you didn't expect come into your your vision
Speaker 1: and you what do you do? Some people have different reactions.
Speaker 1: Do you do anything, Well, you've never been there, No,
Speaker 1: Well I just I smile, I get crazy and I
Speaker 1: bite them. That's what I do. I bit at Andrew,
Speaker 1: so I apologize. It got it just went it went
Speaker 1: south from there, and then they tried to get me
Speaker 1: home and do the right thing for me, but I
Speaker 1: refuse to listen, like, no, fuck you, I'm not going home.
Speaker 1: It's only nine o'clock. It was bad, It was bad.
Speaker 1: So you know, I spent the next day just nursing
Speaker 1: a hangover. But you know, I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: ever been that that shit faced, you know, I haven't,
Speaker 1: not at all ever. No, no, okay, Well, anyway, although
Speaker 1: I did drink for me, I drank a lot on
Speaker 1: the cruise because we had the drink package and I
Speaker 1: felt like I already paid for it. Yeah, so anyway,
Speaker 1: that was my Saint Patrick's day. The day drinking thing
Speaker 1: is one thing, but the style of drinking, I don't
Speaker 1: know who drinks to get smashed, where they just keep
Speaker 1: doing shots, shots, shots, shot lots of people. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's never been me. I'll do around the shots when
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, let's do it around the shots, but
Speaker 1: to just go all in. And then I realized I
Speaker 1: paid for the bill at both the Pig and the
Speaker 1: Parrot and the Madison. I dropped so much money that
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it, and I didn't know it until
Speaker 1: the next day, and I'm like, oh fuck, what did
Speaker 1: I do? Dude? That's why I don't drink. At one
Speaker 1: point we lined up because I felt the need to
Speaker 1: repay Joe at the Pig in the Parrot like they
Speaker 1: were giving me shots. So I'm like, I mean, the
Speaker 1: guy that has a TV show and a successful career,
Speaker 1: they're rich. They're on a show because they're rich. So
Speaker 1: wait in a second, I had to get in there.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, one, two, three, four, give me fourteen shots?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jmo. Yeah, guess what. They're on a Jamo.
Speaker 1: You got a problem. There were no buybacks of this Jamison.
Speaker 1: It was yeah, man, I went in. I went in
Speaker 1: and I bit off more than I can chew. And
Speaker 1: and that was that was that. I didn't even tell
Speaker 1: you about the Friday before. We'll let me ask. I'll
Speaker 1: make it very brief. Yeah, no, no no, I gotta ask
Speaker 1: a question about what you just said. So, so, what's
Speaker 1: the guy's name from the show, Joe? Joe? So Joe
Speaker 1: brought you bought like multiple rounds of of of of shots, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so you felt obligated at least by one to
Speaker 1: buy one round. Okay, but the thing you brought fourteen
Speaker 1: shots because you felt obligated to repay Joe as general.
Speaker 1: But it's the right thing to do though, Okay, shut up,
Speaker 1: you're not drunk, dude. If in this situation, I'm not
Speaker 1: your wife, don't tell me to shut up. I'll give
Speaker 1: you the backhand about you. Um, If in this situation
Speaker 1: and you're in you're trying to repay Joe by buying
Speaker 1: that round of fourteen drinks and you said there were
Speaker 1: no buybacks, what if the bartend had decided to do
Speaker 1: a buyback of fourteen drinks right there and didn't charge
Speaker 1: you for the fourteen shots, would you still owe Joe
Speaker 1: around of drinks? No? No, because I know where you
Speaker 1: going with this, because this is an analogy for the
Speaker 1: fucking steak dinner that you seem to think I owe you,
Speaker 1: and I said no because the same rule applies. No,
Speaker 1: So you are kid. No, you would have said, Joe,
Speaker 1: the bartend have paid for that round, I'll get the
Speaker 1: next round. Oh, speaking of steak dinner, and then I
Speaker 1: have a drink story for you, Oh skieries, steak dinner,
Speaker 1: This is gonna make you any any happier. It may
Speaker 1: make you more angry, Okay, but remember and we're not
Speaker 1: going to go into it, but remember the reason why
Speaker 1: I owed you a steak dinner. Remember Beca. There was
Speaker 1: a reason because it was a third party involved, and
Speaker 1: you helped get some shit done with the third party.
Speaker 1: One on the show asked me to do it, so
Speaker 1: I did it. Yes, and then I did it and
Speaker 1: got all you a lot of money and then I
Speaker 1: I got yeah, I got so about that. That third party,
Speaker 1: the reason why, the catalyst, the reason why, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: steak dinner exists. Um, Robin and I went out on
Speaker 1: Saturday night with that person and his wife and we
Speaker 1: uh went to a restaurant and I foot the bill
Speaker 1: and I bought him a mistake dinner. Wow. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I liked that person and his but he
Speaker 1: did me a huge favor recently. And I'm like, I said, dude,
Speaker 1: you are ironic. It is ironic, yep. Or is that
Speaker 1: a coincidence? No, it's I It's both. It's and I
Speaker 1: said ironic that that you went for steak dinner. And
Speaker 1: as as as as I'm signing the build, but he
Speaker 1: gotta do the guy, the guy who didn't who didn't
Speaker 1: want to give you money, and I I stuck my
Speaker 1: neck out to make sure everyone on the show got
Speaker 1: that money, and and I did listen. He and I
Speaker 1: have a good relationship now, but he said to me
Speaker 1: once at a holiday party, he said, I'll forgive you,
Speaker 1: but I'll never forget. That's what he said to me.
Speaker 1: So I know, even though like we're friendly again and again,
Speaker 1: I think the world of him. But little does he
Speaker 1: know that I owed you a steak dinner to begin with,
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have to know that. He doesn't know
Speaker 1: that part. But but the fact of the matter is, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I bought him. And as I'm signing the car and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this is like a Larry
Speaker 1: David moment. This is a curb enthusiasm moment. I am
Speaker 1: buying a steak dinner for the guy who was the
Speaker 1: reason why I owed by a steak dinner. That's correct,
Speaker 1: That's correct, that scary steak dinner. Update a break, I
Speaker 1: do want to comment on what we just talked about
Speaker 1: for the break. YEP, I do have an update for
Speaker 1: next episode. I do. There's a reason I want to
Speaker 1: talk about right now. Okay, but uh, last episode, Scary
Speaker 1: said if I met him somewhere at an appearance, he
Speaker 1: would take me off for a steak dinner. We talked
Speaker 1: about that. I will talk about next week and I'll
Speaker 1: explain why I have to wait a week before I
Speaker 1: can talk about it. But I didn't up. Yes, we
Speaker 1: did not. We did not yet. Yeah that update. Brody
Speaker 1: never met me, so he didn't get his steak dinner.
Speaker 1: So that was I'm gonna leave it there. I very
Speaker 1: much wish I did, so that'll real little tease for
Speaker 1: next episode. There was in terms of drinking. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: did want to run something by your real quick Okay,
Speaker 1: go for him. I'm sorry. So on the ship another
Speaker 1: cruise story. I got a lot of them, but they're
Speaker 1: all really good. I promise they're never They're never not good,
Speaker 1: thank you. The four of us were sitting at a
Speaker 1: table in the club. There's a club called the Music Room.
Speaker 1: We were up in the club. We were upstairs and
Speaker 1: downstairs over the ledge um. There was a cover band
Speaker 1: playing that was fantastic Billboard something Billboard band. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: we're at this long rectangular table. Let's seats six and
Speaker 1: we're we're seating at four of the seats. To my
Speaker 1: left is that is the seat, and then across from
Speaker 1: that seat is the other seat that are available, so
Speaker 1: the two end seats are available. When we first sat down,
Speaker 1: people had just gotten up. The table hadn't been cleared yet,
Speaker 1: so there were a couple of drinks there. There was
Speaker 1: a martini glass that was half full, and there was
Speaker 1: a m I want to see like a pint glass
Speaker 1: that was three quarters filled. I don't know what was
Speaker 1: in him, it doesn't really matter. It was alcohol. So
Speaker 1: I moved them to my left that there was nobody
Speaker 1: sitting to the left. To the left the left, all
Speaker 1: those drinks are left. So we're sitting there and the
Speaker 1: four of us have had a couple of drinks. We're
Speaker 1: having a good time, and this group of girls comes by.
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume they were twenty one. They may
Speaker 1: not have been. Were they feeling twenty two? Maybe they
Speaker 1: were twenty two. Yeah, they were feeling twenty two thanks
Speaker 1: to hell Swift. And so they come over and they say,
Speaker 1: excuse us, excuse me, and I said, I'm assuming they're
Speaker 1: asking if the chairs are available, and they said, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: these are your drinks, so I said, no, they were
Speaker 1: here when we sat down again, thinking they were going
Speaker 1: to move them so they could sit down. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to throw them out without asking if they were
Speaker 1: our drinks. The four girls take the drinks and start
Speaker 1: drinking them and passing them back and forth to each other.
Speaker 1: That's so ghetto that, by the way, we've we've had
Speaker 1: people do that at sporting events. We've had interns who
Speaker 1: admitted to just picking up drinks off the concrete floor
Speaker 1: at a baseball game, saying, yes, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start chugging beer. And you don't even know whose lips
Speaker 1: were on that ship, but free beer. In fact, that story,
Speaker 1: I use that story a lot in discussing. When I
Speaker 1: would interview new interns, I would ask them, I would say, oh,
Speaker 1: do you is this something you would do? What would
Speaker 1: you do in this situation? And they were all like, oh,
Speaker 1: we would never, it's terrible, you know, who would ever
Speaker 1: do that? And these girls, these girls drank to the bottom,
Speaker 1: every last drop. Scary. They drank these drinks that were
Speaker 1: sitting there, which it looked if they thought they were
Speaker 1: my drinks. They were like, well, these people look clean,
Speaker 1: these people look normal. I don't know. I have no
Speaker 1: idea who sat there before me? I have no idea
Speaker 1: what the people look like if there no no no idea,
Speaker 1: and they didn't either, and they just d they're like,
Speaker 1: look look slices. I know that alcohol kills germs is
Speaker 1: the old cliche, but it's no. So here's what I
Speaker 1: want you guys to do. Use the talkback feature on
Speaker 1: your heart radio app and leave us a message. Would
Speaker 1: you do it? Well, not not in so much would
Speaker 1: you do it? Have you done it? Have you taken
Speaker 1: a drink out of some randos leftover alcohol? Because we
Speaker 1: that I would. That's not which scary. As drunk as
Speaker 1: you are the other night, you think you might have
Speaker 1: done that? Yeah, yeah, I think um accidentally but not
Speaker 1: on purpose. Okay, you listen. I don't mind wasting beer. Okay,
Speaker 1: I won't waste food though I know that, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean I will eat food off of people's plates.
Speaker 1: I mean, not random strangers, but not my friends. If
Speaker 1: you're not going to finish that, I'm going in. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna eat that. So yeah, but you eat if your
Speaker 1: friends plates, that's not that's not a problem. I don't
Speaker 1: you know. I don't. I don't think that's an issue.
Speaker 1: But what would be worse picking up a beer off
Speaker 1: the pavement and start drinking it, or walking through a
Speaker 1: restaurant and seeing that the people we had left the
Speaker 1: food behind and they're about to clear the table and
Speaker 1: then you just like grab some French fries off of it.
Speaker 1: Is that just as bad? Is one worse than the other?
Speaker 1: I'm walking by, I'm leaving the restaurant, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: those fries look good. Now. Now that table hasn't been
Speaker 1: cleared yet, but the people are gone, oh fuck that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take half the sandwich home with from me.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rip it off this plate, throw to my bank.
Speaker 1: Would you do that? No, so, same same thing, same
Speaker 1: rule applies. I couldn't do it. But the limps didn't
Speaker 1: touch it, Like wait, here's a full as a half
Speaker 1: a chicken PARMI touched maybe, but their fingers were on
Speaker 1: the You don't know if they touched it, they fingered it.
Speaker 1: Maybe their hands were on it, or they breathed on
Speaker 1: it or spin on it while they were taking bite
Speaker 1: to the other half. I don't know. Something to think about,
Speaker 1: something to chew on. I want to hear some talkbacks
Speaker 1: on that, though I bet you there are listeners. It's
Speaker 1: more common than we know. Well, you know who did
Speaker 1: something something. What I think worse than that, um is
Speaker 1: uh uh Ronnie Scalzo, baldhead freak. What did he do?
Speaker 1: We were at a Mets game. It was a station event,
Speaker 1: I think, which is why he was there. He would
Speaker 1: not normally go to a Mets game unless we brought
Speaker 1: him there. And we were in a in a section
Speaker 1: with a lot of people left early, and he found
Speaker 1: like buckets of chicken, chicken fingers, chicken tenders. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: were are not eating. He was like, fuck it, they
Speaker 1: didn't eat it, So he those are individual pieces that
Speaker 1: haven't been touched. So I would I could almost give
Speaker 1: that a pass. The beer clearly touched the saliva in there.
Speaker 1: At least you got you stand a chance. What if
Speaker 1: it was a fully wrapped hot dog sitting there, You
Speaker 1: could just swindle that and walk out with that. No
Speaker 1: one's touched that, there's nothing to grow. The only thing
Speaker 1: that's gross is the idea that of possession, that it
Speaker 1: belonged to someone at one time. That's how I see it,
Speaker 1: and that's not that gross at that point. Huh the
Speaker 1: chicken fingers, Yeah, I couldn't do it. You couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: What if them licked their fingers and the lucky fingers
Speaker 1: put one back and it touched another finger chicken finger? Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: They're like, I'm about to eat the last one. They're like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm full, and they put it back in
Speaker 1: and they're all slobbery. I couldn't do it. I think
Speaker 1: there's different levels and different situations that I would I can't.
Speaker 1: I'm inconclusive about that. Um okay, well, uh, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: You was gonna say, yeah, no, I was going to
Speaker 1: change the topic real quick, and I had a question
Speaker 1: for you because oh yeah, please go ahead. Um We're
Speaker 1: gonna be very vague right now because we Brodie. You
Speaker 1: and I are going to an event tomorrow night. The
Speaker 1: two of us are attending an event together. So the
Speaker 1: invitation that I got on this event said cocktail casual.
Speaker 1: Yeah I saw that. I meant to ask you about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I meant to ask you about that. So well, remember
Speaker 1: back in the day we did this. Remember I did
Speaker 1: an event and you said, what do you call that style?
Speaker 1: And I said, oh, it's Brooklyn Industrial and describe everybody
Speaker 1: what Brooklyn Industrial was. I can't. It was like that.
Speaker 1: It was the smoking jacket, Oh yeah, the smoke that
Speaker 1: it was John Varvados ARMANI smoking jacket with a T
Speaker 1: shirt underneath. Yeah, not tucked in. But then a pair
Speaker 1: of black pants that weren't weren't jeans. That was Brooklyn Industrial? Correct?
Speaker 1: So who you called it that? You named it that?
Speaker 1: After that? I said, I showed up to an event
Speaker 1: dressed that way, and you said, that's Brooklyn Industrial. I
Speaker 1: think that the naming came after it. It It wasn't wasn't
Speaker 1: the invitation didn't say Brooklyn Industrial, but this invitation say
Speaker 1: cocktail casual. What does that mean? I didn't know what
Speaker 1: it meant, but I so whenever look slices, you know,
Speaker 1: whenever we're gonna go to an event, I usually text
Speaker 1: Scary because I know he's gonna overdress and I always go, hey,
Speaker 1: scare what you're wearing? And he'll say, oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wear a suit and one of my shiny shirts would
Speaker 1: a pipe And I go okay because he loves his
Speaker 1: shiny shirts. And normally he'll tell me the brand name
Speaker 1: as well. Oh I've got I've got you know, a
Speaker 1: shiny shirt by Almani and I've got the v I
Speaker 1: got the John Varvados, the Varvedo stand. I can't go
Speaker 1: wrong with a shiny shirt. I'm not a shiny shirt guy.
Speaker 1: Would you? Are you the kind of person who puts
Speaker 1: your T shirt under a sport jacket? No, because yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a I'm not Miami vice. I'm
Speaker 1: not that's I can't pull that look off. I usually
Speaker 1: do a dress shirt. That's a paradox to me. I do.
Speaker 1: I do a dress shirt un talked with jeans and
Speaker 1: a jacket. Yeah, I could do that. I don't like
Speaker 1: because I don't like wearing a belt, I don't like
Speaker 1: talking shit in and I certainly don't like wearing a tie.
Speaker 1: That's the worst. Your first quarter of skiy, So I
Speaker 1: feel like you still you could talk second? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to say you could say I'm second. Is
Speaker 1: it fair to say you never reached first quarter of status? Um?
Speaker 1: Because I think it's starting off second quarter? Yeah? Quarter? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, um, I think I was, but all that
Speaker 1: I was ten. I was ten pounds off quarter. You're
Speaker 1: a fifth quarter skier to end the year. Lash that's
Speaker 1: the problem. I'm now I'm ten I'm ten pounds over
Speaker 1: what I should have been for first quarter. Scary, So
Speaker 1: we're starting with the second quarter scary. So now I
Speaker 1: just have to hit the brakes for this quarter, just
Speaker 1: so I can slow down a little bit. But we'll
Speaker 1: see where that goes. Only time will tell. Like you
Speaker 1: you took a gallon of a couple of gallons of
Speaker 1: empty calories on St. Patrick's Day or anything? Well, part
Speaker 1: of the problem. Oh oh oh, that reminds me, were
Speaker 1: you in the middle of something. No, well, I was
Speaker 1: gonna I was gonna ask you we we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about cocktail casual for a quick second. But I don't
Speaker 1: know what to wear because the host said he's gonna
Speaker 1: wear a suit. But he's the host. I don't need
Speaker 1: to dress up like him. No, we're not gonna be
Speaker 1: on a microphone like he is and doing things. But
Speaker 1: he's an mcc he's an MCC. Right. It's a fancy
Speaker 1: place though, that's the other problem. It's a yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a fancy place. Here's where I'm torn. It's the kind
Speaker 1: of place you could have a wedding or a bar
Speaker 1: mitz for in. But that we're not having a wedding
Speaker 1: or bar mitz for there, right, and you're like, why
Speaker 1: I don't have to dress up for the place. I
Speaker 1: already got word back from a few of the guys
Speaker 1: that they're wearing a sweater and jeans and that's it. Whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: I said. So then another someone else I know that
Speaker 1: is that, like someone who's always casual, like Josh, like
Speaker 1: Josh is always cash. One of my other friends who's
Speaker 1: going to this event, he said, he's wearing, Um, he's
Speaker 1: wearing jeans with a button down shirt and belt and
Speaker 1: no and that's it, tucked in no suit jacket. Is
Speaker 1: that how he dresses to work? This person? Yeah? So
Speaker 1: so he also but this guy also said, well, we
Speaker 1: should all band together. So he tried to rally the
Speaker 1: troops of a few guys and told me to tell
Speaker 1: you and four other guys that we know that maybe
Speaker 1: go into this. Yeah, hey, what's all band together? Let's
Speaker 1: no certainly no tie, no tie of course, no jacket.
Speaker 1: But then what do you wear? I mean, like, you
Speaker 1: wear a sweater? But I don't know, though, do you
Speaker 1: what does cocktail casual even mean? I don't know. I'll
Speaker 1: have to google it. Let me google it hold on
Speaker 1: cocktail casual because my girlfriend was trying to give me advice.
Speaker 1: She said, my girlfriend's like, hey, let me tell you something. Okay.
Speaker 1: Here it has cocktail casual attire, she said, it's just
Speaker 1: short of She goes, it's like going to a wedding,
Speaker 1: but minus the tie. I'm like, no, that's business casual. Okay.
Speaker 1: This is what the first search came up. It says
Speaker 1: cocktail casual attire is a cross between cocktail and business casual.
Speaker 1: Dub by the name. Your outfits should look polished, but
Speaker 1: not as formal as a semi formal outfit. Again, I okay.
Speaker 1: Men should wear light colored suits if the cocktail celebration
Speaker 1: is the daytime, and darker suits for an evening event.
Speaker 1: Can you wear jeans to cocktail casual? Different? As a
Speaker 1: general rule, cocktail means no jeans and no sneakers. That's
Speaker 1: bullshit because people wear sneakers with suits. I know three
Speaker 1: people that they Dude, I'm wearing jeans an evening event,
Speaker 1: less formal than black tie, but not quite business casual. Okay,
Speaker 1: here it is hold on. This is from leaf dot TV.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find, like, gun, what's business casual. Business
Speaker 1: casual means a suit but no tie. To me, that's
Speaker 1: what business casual means. M hmm. Cocktail attire. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I don't think we should be wearing jeans. I think
Speaker 1: you gotta go slacks. Yeah, I went, I bought slacks
Speaker 1: this week. I went and bought slacks, black slacks, I bought, No,
Speaker 1: I bought, uh, I bought gray slack. I bought gray slacks.
Speaker 1: D like wool, like like nice gray pants. But now
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'll like him with the Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna do. Cocktail casual is a
Speaker 1: dress code blah blah blah, doesn't require you to wear
Speaker 1: expensive dresses or heels. This is women. What should I wear?
Speaker 1: This is a it's an ad firm cocktail casual. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do the search thing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna google it. But it sounds like you have
Speaker 1: to look pretty good. Yeah, you gotta be more polished
Speaker 1: than a turd. Yeah, I think the women are gonna
Speaker 1: wear cocktail dresses. But I will you all you know women, women,
Speaker 1: the women who are gonna go to this event, they
Speaker 1: probably I mean, well, they're just no offense. But a woman,
Speaker 1: a woman is appropriate. A woman, they're not. A woman
Speaker 1: is a wal trousers. Women always go to the nines.
Speaker 1: They always the guys will always look like slobs next
Speaker 1: to women at events any event. I just feel that
Speaker 1: women will, you know, because they out they like to
Speaker 1: outdress each other. And so this article says there is
Speaker 1: no place for more casual clothing such as jeans, polar shirts,
Speaker 1: or casual sneakers. But it's cocktail. What casual? Right? So
Speaker 1: it's it's just a title. So it's ah, I almost
Speaker 1: don't want to go now, it's too much to think about.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a lot, right, Okay, So what
Speaker 1: does contact casual general mean? Cocktail camus described as relaxing,
Speaker 1: comfortable style that is still appropriate for a more formal setting. However,
Speaker 1: it can also be accessorized with more casual items like
Speaker 1: jeans and sneak Sure cocktail attire from men, No need
Speaker 1: to worry. Okay, yeah, California casual. We're not in California.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, there's a that state has its own
Speaker 1: type of casual that's different from the Yes, a nice
Speaker 1: pair of slacks or jeans with a button down shirt
Speaker 1: or blouse is always a good choice. So then what's
Speaker 1: New York casual? Wait a minute, now there's creative cocktail
Speaker 1: attire all about cocktail dresses. I fucking hate this article.
Speaker 1: Fuck you articles leaving, and that article is going to
Speaker 1: differ from the four other articles with the same name. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's an article from mom Tastic that says, what does
Speaker 1: cocktail casual even mean? I'm not looking at it because
Speaker 1: they put the word even in for no reason. So
Speaker 1: f that article, what does it even mean? Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: relevant even casual cocktail attire for men and women by
Speaker 1: fashion Fashion Hants, fashion ants dot Com. Very confusing. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's all opinion. There is no definition. I think
Speaker 1: that's what the conclusion I'm coming when the dresses maxie
Speaker 1: dresses I'm not wearing. If you think about a pencil skirt,
Speaker 1: about a pencil skirt? You know? How about an eggshell
Speaker 1: a line attire for gentlemen? Sweaters Sweaters always are a
Speaker 1: safe option when it comes to catch. What if it's
Speaker 1: a sweater that looks like I'm wearing a tuxedo that
Speaker 1: can't wear that? Men can go in for a sweater
Speaker 1: pattern pullover, which they can good sweaters, a college shirt
Speaker 1: if you prefer. I don't like sweaters. Now you look
Speaker 1: like the Michelin man. You can't do that. You can
Speaker 1: wear well fitting shirts and roll up the sleeves ever
Speaker 1: so slightly. Whatever that means. Wear well fitted trousers or
Speaker 1: dark jeans. Okay, do you use the word trousers, So
Speaker 1: I'm out on that article. You can. You can wear
Speaker 1: leather boots to add a tinge of class. You're attire.
Speaker 1: You may even wear a necktie. Boots add class. Because
Speaker 1: when I think boots, I think country, and I think dirt,
Speaker 1: and I think line dancing, and I think Texas. Not
Speaker 1: cowboy boots. You can wear. First of all, if you
Speaker 1: wear nice cowboy boots, I mean is dressing in certain posts.
Speaker 1: But if women, a woman wears stew Whitesman boots, then
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's a different story. But I think
Speaker 1: women would wear those. Okay, guys, whatever T shirts, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think boots are a casual thing.
Speaker 1: Boots going denim. Okay. This says you can wear a
Speaker 1: T shirt or a round neck T shirt with a
Speaker 1: well fitted jacket. You may even opt for wearing a
Speaker 1: formal jacket, as these look nice when combined with casual attire.
Speaker 1: So you can wear your John Varvados smoking jacket with
Speaker 1: one of your theory tie dyed shirts. You dare me,
Speaker 1: I dare you no, But all the all the boys
Speaker 1: are gonna be pissed. Yeah, I gotta right, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll leave that back. Yeah we'll be Oh
Speaker 1: you're taking the break? No, yeah, I have stories, but
Speaker 1: take a break. We'll take a break. I'll come back.
Speaker 1: I guess okay the Boys podcast. I did want to
Speaker 1: talk to you about the fight my family had. Um
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to save half of my crew,
Speaker 1: my crew stories for next week because it was non star.
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding. I have to save a couple
Speaker 1: of things too. I'm writing them down so you don't forget.
Speaker 1: So we are in the Gucci store because you know
Speaker 1: you don't pay tax allegedly, right you play. And by
Speaker 1: the way, value added tax is referred to as VAT,
Speaker 1: so European non American countries will charge you tax, like
Speaker 1: when you go to a restaurant, they put the value
Speaker 1: added tax in. If you're an American, you can get
Speaker 1: that back. You have to fill out a form and
Speaker 1: you can get the whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa. All those times I've gone to the Bahamas
Speaker 1: and they charged me a VAT, I can get that back, Yes,
Speaker 1: get out. Yeah. In fact, my wife bought a pair
Speaker 1: when we were in Amsterdam on the Morning show cruise.
Speaker 1: My wife bought a pair of very expensive shoes and
Speaker 1: the VAT was like ninety dollars. But you don't pay
Speaker 1: tax to a foreign government when you're an American. They
Speaker 1: so they reimburse you. There's a machine you have to
Speaker 1: put This particular department store had a machine and you
Speaker 1: put the receipt in and it gets you your money back. Well,
Speaker 1: how do I get my money back from past trips?
Speaker 1: I don't know how do you do that? But you
Speaker 1: should know that anyway. My point is, dude, I was
Speaker 1: today years old when I found this out. This is
Speaker 1: news to me. Hold on, can Americans get VAT tax returned?
Speaker 1: You're dreaming? I don't know how to get to hold
Speaker 1: on Vatican him. That's that's part of the problem. That
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing people complain about when they're going
Speaker 1: to like the Bahamas in these places because it says VAT.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, the VAT fucked me. You
Speaker 1: know, I I got all his VAT. And then something tells
Speaker 1: me that you can't. That's a myth. Nope, says you
Speaker 1: can get a VAT refund even for your online purchases.
Speaker 1: The same rules apply. You must be a permanent resident
Speaker 1: in a non EU country and the amount you paid
Speaker 1: must be above the minimum prescribed by the country. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, you look Google Google it anyway. Um, so,
Speaker 1: but people call it a VAT tax, but the tea
Speaker 1: and VAT is tax. Got it? Okay, So you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't say attacks, you just say that, right, okay.
Speaker 1: So anyway, So we would go in there and hoping
Speaker 1: to save some money because you don't pay the tax
Speaker 1: and tax on like four hundred dollars shoes, it's like
Speaker 1: thirty forty bucks whatever. So we're leaving the store and
Speaker 1: again it's my wife, my middle daughter, her friend who's
Speaker 1: from Bayridge, Brooklyn by the way, and me and I'm
Speaker 1: the fourth because I'm a gentleman, I let the ladies
Speaker 1: go first. As we're leaving the store, there's a woman
Speaker 1: in her forties maybe the thirties, and her daughter, who's
Speaker 1: about I want to say, about seven or eight years old.
Speaker 1: The woman opens the door. Okay, she pulls it out.
Speaker 1: She pulls the door open, and she opens the door,
Speaker 1: and her daughter is in front of her, and they
Speaker 1: are to the left of the entrance of the door,
Speaker 1: right of the doorway. Well, when someone opens the door
Speaker 1: and you're right there, you were going to push the door.
Speaker 1: Who has the right of way? The people leaving the
Speaker 1: store as you would leave an elevator, or the people
Speaker 1: coming into the pushing the door outwards to leave. And
Speaker 1: this woman pulled the door open before we could push it.
Speaker 1: So we were at the doorway. People walking through the
Speaker 1: door on the push side, they have the right of way. No,
Speaker 1: in other words, the people on the inn on the
Speaker 1: people on the inside going out. Okay, so we know that.
Speaker 1: So my wife walks through the door with my door
Speaker 1: because you let people. Oh you always let people out
Speaker 1: before you you walk into anything that that goes for
Speaker 1: a subway, car or bus, think about anything. It's always
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. So the woman, as the four
Speaker 1: of us are walking through the doorway, she says to
Speaker 1: her daughter, very passive aggressively. Sorry, honey, I thought these
Speaker 1: rude people would let us out first. No, but they
Speaker 1: were coming in. You were in the store. They you
Speaker 1: were in the store going out. Correct, they were out
Speaker 1: going in, they were out. But unless they were in
Speaker 1: somewhere else coming out, where were they coming from? That's correct?
Speaker 1: Where were they? I don't care outside. There were outcomes outdoors, right,
Speaker 1: it's an outdoor store. Well, it's all perspective. I mean
Speaker 1: they could be coming from it was another store attached
Speaker 1: to it, because they could be coming out of that
Speaker 1: stre It's a sidewalk, it's not a mall. Okay. They
Speaker 1: were opening the door on the sidewalk them, So my, my, my,
Speaker 1: So they said this out loud. So my wife says,
Speaker 1: excuse me, you're the one that's wrong. My daughter turns
Speaker 1: to her and she's like, hey, maybe you should teach
Speaker 1: your daughter respect on who goes through the door first,
Speaker 1: instead of making it look like we're wrong, and so
Speaker 1: oh shit. Her friend from Brooklyn is like, maybe he's
Speaker 1: just shut up. And at this point I've got car
Speaker 1: blanched to be fourth. So I said, first of all,
Speaker 1: you mean you thought we were gonna let you in first,
Speaker 1: not out. You don't even know which way you're going.
Speaker 1: Second of all, learn some damn manners before you teach
Speaker 1: your kid what's wrong. I said, excuse me, Annie to
Speaker 1: the little girl. Out goes first, right, and then I
Speaker 1: gave it a face like NI face. All right, So
Speaker 1: I was very proud of my family. It all sets
Speaker 1: up door. You're a big man, David Brody. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: showed that fucking girl like fucking fourth your age. I want,
Speaker 1: I want, I want to show you whose boss may have. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well wait a second, I'm gonna I gotta spin on
Speaker 1: this plot twist. Yeah, even though you were walking out
Speaker 1: and they were walking in from the outside, and it
Speaker 1: was if the door, if the door was a pull
Speaker 1: door for you, for you, yeah, you're saying you pushed
Speaker 1: the door out. I think I think the direction of
Speaker 1: the door is what really really dictates who walks through first,
Speaker 1: because I feel like if you, let's say it was
Speaker 1: a pull door to go out and you're in the store,
Speaker 1: you push, by the way doesn't exist in any doors
Speaker 1: because you're always carrying. There are listeners right now saying, ah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that happens where where I was. Yeah, well, it's if
Speaker 1: it's if it's an indoor. If you're it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how it was constructed. I'm just saying for hypothetically speaking,
Speaker 1: if you're in a store and the door is a
Speaker 1: pull door to leave to go out, and you're pulling,
Speaker 1: then and only then the people the outside going in
Speaker 1: go first because they could come in because you were
Speaker 1: pulling the door open. We let them go in and
Speaker 1: then you go out. If you pull the door, you
Speaker 1: have an option. You can stand to the side and
Speaker 1: hold the door open for them. No, it's just awkward.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but if there's a long line of people
Speaker 1: that want to come in, now you're holding the door,
Speaker 1: you want to leave, You're like the doorman. If you
Speaker 1: try to go first, Now you have to like hold
Speaker 1: the door with your left hand right and then like
Speaker 1: try to shimmy out and then reach back and keep
Speaker 1: the door open for them. It's awkward. That's why the
Speaker 1: door opens. Should never come into the store. But regardless
Speaker 1: it opened out and they were wrong, I was gonna
Speaker 1: rule in favor of the orientation of the door. And
Speaker 1: in most cases, when you're walking and go out, it's
Speaker 1: a push door going out, so you go first. But
Speaker 1: if it's a pull door, going out the people something
Speaker 1: going in gets to go first. Do you understand where
Speaker 1: I'm coming from? Yes, yes, I understand that this was
Speaker 1: very But more importantly, we were writing. You were right,
Speaker 1: you messed with three with two people from Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: my wife and my daughter. That's who have my attitude
Speaker 1: at this point towards idiots. So she's like, I'm sorry, honey,
Speaker 1: I got day when these rude people would let us
Speaker 1: go out first. Well, you don't even know which way
Speaker 1: you're going. Sound like March Simpson's sister. Yeahs Selma, Salma,
Speaker 1: who smokes too much? I could, I could do. March
Speaker 1: Simpson says, sister, you look like you had a good
Speaker 1: time on the trip overall. I did, but there's so
Speaker 1: many great stories of douchebags on the trip. Problem is,
Speaker 1: a cruise is supposed to be relaxing, and you're not relaxing.
Speaker 1: You're getting yourself agitated place a piece. I was relaxed intermittently.
Speaker 1: So here was a sign I saw a scary Remember
Speaker 1: when we did that thing like a little more than
Speaker 1: under a minute? Yes, right, okay, tell me what this means.
Speaker 1: There was an art gallery and this an art gallery
Speaker 1: shows under five hundred, under five hundred and more, My
Speaker 1: brain hurts, Wait, under five hundred dollars dollars and more
Speaker 1: and more? Wow, under five hundred, But it could mean
Speaker 1: under maybe a piece cost fifteen hundred dollars and it's
Speaker 1: under it's under five hundred dollars, there's five hundred dollars less,
Speaker 1: so it's one thousand and more like if so it's
Speaker 1: if it's eight fifty, it's eight fifty. Now I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to even see where they would have that up.
Speaker 1: So I thought, I thought it might have meant under
Speaker 1: five hundred and more under five hundred, like like under
Speaker 1: two hundred, right under five hundred and more. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: under five hundred is still under. Any number under five
Speaker 1: hundred is gonna work, so you don't need the work more. Well.
Speaker 1: But but then I thought, is it un like other
Speaker 1: articles that are under five hundred and articles that are
Speaker 1: more money. I couldn't figure it out, so I asked.
Speaker 1: What they said was, we want people to know we
Speaker 1: have items that are cheaper than five hundred dollars, but
Speaker 1: we also want people to know there are expensive items,
Speaker 1: because we don't want them to think all the items
Speaker 1: are under five hundred. My head hirts, my head hirts.
Speaker 1: But you're thinking about this, this is this is this
Speaker 1: is ludicrous under five hundred and more. So okay, why
Speaker 1: couldn't you just say starting at two hundred or something
Speaker 1: you could have but some people don't. Yeah, some people
Speaker 1: don't identify that way, or they don't want or many
Speaker 1: items as low, many items under five hundred dollars. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's obviously not all of them. Excuse under fire. You're
Speaker 1: gonna make a phone call. Yeah, he loves when I
Speaker 1: just surprised him with hello girls time. Oh shit, Oh
Speaker 1: we're all together though. What's up? Oh? Man, God, you're
Speaker 1: on the Brooken Boys podcast. I needed you to talk
Speaker 1: to David Brodie. It's Ali gold You have a quick
Speaker 1: second or no, yea, I have a quick second. So
Speaker 1: you went to very upset, A very upset a goldfish,
Speaker 1: Ali Goldfish is here, and we went to Saddell's, a
Speaker 1: famous brunch place in Manhattan. I'll make this very quick.
Speaker 1: What did you when you had the matzo ball soup?
Speaker 1: You being Jewish? Talk to talk about what was in
Speaker 1: that and what you thought of it. Well, there's a
Speaker 1: lot more green when it came to the table. I
Speaker 1: was not expecting it. Yes, but what it's delicious, Brodie?
Speaker 1: I thought it was good. Hold on, hold on? Do
Speaker 1: you eat? Do you eat pickles? No? I hate pickles? Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you eat dial? Would you eat like deal? Potato chips?
Speaker 1: What's that? I don't know what that is? Like potato chips?
Speaker 1: Would deal flay? You like dial? In other words, you
Speaker 1: enjoy the tapast of dill? No, no, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't like the taste of dill. It did not tease
Speaker 1: dilly to me. I feel like I would know what soup? Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Can we agree though, that your grandmother and my grandmother
Speaker 1: would not put tons of dial in their muntz of soup? Right?
Speaker 1: You know? They would have spit on me if they
Speaker 1: knew I liked your grandma. Grandma's sitting by the fire.
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right, okay. I just wanted to get
Speaker 1: your opinion on that, because which you know, the Sidel's
Speaker 1: debate has been a long thing. It's a running theme
Speaker 1: on our podcast. I'm so excited that another fellow Jewish
Speaker 1: person was sitting next to me and joined Saidel's motzahle
Speaker 1: soup with dill Okay, hold on, would you say that Saidel's,
Speaker 1: which I call Saidel's because they put dill on everything.
Speaker 1: Would you say, would you say it's the best Jewish
Speaker 1: food in all of New York. I thought the food
Speaker 1: was great, but it's not even kosher, right, so I
Speaker 1: wouldn't consider that Jewish food kosher style, I mean the style.
Speaker 1: I think it's a knockoff of Jewish food. But it
Speaker 1: was delicious. That liked it, but delicious delicious. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: that's all we need. Go back to girls time. I
Speaker 1: feel terrible we're interrupting this. No, it's okay. I'm just
Speaker 1: a bottle of wine deep thanks to Elvis. So were
Speaker 1: you guys? Where are you guys eating right now? No?
Speaker 1: No big deal. Um. What was the name of the restaurant?
Speaker 1: Carpaccio still is the name? That's a great place. Oh
Speaker 1: my god? What kind of shoes? What kind of shoes?
Speaker 1: Chanella heels? All right, love you, we love you. Enjoy
Speaker 1: the joy shoes? Bye bye? Yeah, she's okay. Elvis took
Speaker 1: the girls shoe shopping today, all the girls on the show. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well then, yeah, okay, I here's a question. I have
Speaker 1: a question for you. Uh, many years ago, Elvis took
Speaker 1: the boy's shoe shopping. I was not there. I was
Speaker 1: I was away, you were away. Everybody got new shoes,
Speaker 1: but you, and you didn't get a rain check. Elvis
Speaker 1: did not off you a rain check. No, you're miss shoes.
Speaker 1: Never got them. But but no, nor did I expect
Speaker 1: them because I missed it. Yeah, those shoes, which are
Speaker 1: the most expensive shoes I ever owned and will ever own,
Speaker 1: which he was kind enough to purchase for me. I've
Speaker 1: worn and it's been about eight years. It's been a while.
Speaker 1: I want to say it's been maybe nine years. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's been a while. I've worn them maybe ten times.
Speaker 1: I wear them two really big events. I wear them
Speaker 1: on the cruise as I go on because you're not
Speaker 1: on the sidewalk, you're on carpeting. So I baby them.
Speaker 1: But I've never worn them to an event that that
Speaker 1: that any of you guys have ever seen. I've always warned,
Speaker 1: like to like a family party or on the cruise.
Speaker 1: I may have warned them on a cruise, but you guys,
Speaker 1: you didn't notice. Is it okay to wear them tomorrow night?
Speaker 1: If I choose to wear them to the event, of course,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you? Okay, no, it's fine because they were
Speaker 1: like a gift, but they were so Mike, still my
Speaker 1: favorite shoes. You can't make this shit up. Okay, go ahead,
Speaker 1: something just popped up, and ahead, I would say, you
Speaker 1: can what happened? Is this for the podcast? And yes
Speaker 1: it will be. This is this too? This is too coincidental? Okay,
Speaker 1: did somebody did Ali fuck something up? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no, this is great. Let's finish this thought.
Speaker 1: And because on the other side of this break, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Scott Atkins from John w FO. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so you're gonna we're gonna introduce the conversation
Speaker 1: with John, right, I mean we're gonna yeah, like well
Speaker 1: we yeah, well we yeah, we'll figure it out, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The point is you, why wouldn't you wear those shoes?
Speaker 1: These are the these are the times to wear those
Speaker 1: shoes when I know, because you're not gonna get out.
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta make the most out of it.
Speaker 1: I hear you. Well, no one's gonna recognize them and go,
Speaker 1: oh those are the shoes that oh no, no, no, no, right,
Speaker 1: all right, so I'm thinking about it because they go
Speaker 1: really well with the blazer I want to wear, and
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna go cocked casual, my only my only
Speaker 1: downside is with my knee hurting. They're not the most
Speaker 1: soft shoes. They're a little sturdy. They're like really well made,
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna be given I don't know. But
Speaker 1: but you're saying it's okay to wear them. Yeah, I may.
Speaker 1: I may wear I may wear the very very very
Speaker 1: cocktail casual. That's fine. Okay. So here's why I'm laughing.
Speaker 1: We just got off the phone with Ali Gold talking
Speaker 1: about Sidel's and Dill. Yeah, all of a sudden, something
Speaker 1: just got added to my calendar, my work calendar for
Speaker 1: the Big show. Okay, in studio guest on March twenty eighth,
Speaker 1: Mario Carbone, the owner of Sidel's. I have to I
Speaker 1: have to say it's been us. Carbone also owns Carbone Ahead. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: not a sponsor. It's been seven months since I've been
Speaker 1: on the show roughly. I have to say, this is
Speaker 1: the first time I think himset I'm not gonna be there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I would like to tell him to his face
Speaker 1: not to put so much fucking dial in the Mutsi
Speaker 1: ball soup. I'm fine with it. You know, a Jew
Speaker 1: and by the way, there's nothing more Jewish sounding than
Speaker 1: Mario Carbone. I rest my case. If the Mario wasn't enough,
Speaker 1: Carbone certainly is. It's a testament to all the old
Speaker 1: Jewish world of the Lower East Side of Manhattan and
Speaker 1: the Jewish settlers of the nineteenth century. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to Jews plain. I'm just explaining why he why he's
Speaker 1: a fan. I'm a fan. You could. He's a chef.
Speaker 1: He's allowed to do a thing. He doesn't mean he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Jewish to have the Jewish style cooking. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. Here we go. Would
Speaker 1: you go to Maria Brahmo, it's his house of parmesan
Speaker 1: why not? Come on? I'm open minded man, Okay, Schlomo
Speaker 1: Goldstein's talk away house, going to Mexican food, I trust it.
Speaker 1: I trust it. There were Jews in Mexico, right, were
Speaker 1: there Mexicans in Israel? I don't think there were Mexicans
Speaker 1: in Israel necessarily, but there's Jews everywhere. Because it's not
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a religion. Religion. I just i
Speaker 1: don't see it. Now. That doesn't mean that a Jew
Speaker 1: can't make good Italian food. I'm just saying Mario Carbone
Speaker 1: has given me you know, all right, I'd rather I'd
Speaker 1: rather my family make the Jewish food for him. That's
Speaker 1: all scary, all right, David Brodie, it's time since since
Speaker 1: we went to commercial. We stopped and we recorded an interview, yeah,
Speaker 1: with Scott Atkins, who is a martial arts master and
Speaker 1: an actor and a director and a producer and a
Speaker 1: writer who's in the new john Wick for previously recorded.
Speaker 1: We recorded it right before we started this podcast, probably
Speaker 1: minutes before. Oh yeah, And at that time Brody and
Speaker 1: I got on the phone call and realized Brodie's microphone
Speaker 1: is not working and he sounds like he's in a
Speaker 1: fucking bathroom. Yeah, all right, Brodie, try and calm your nerves.
Speaker 1: We're connecting with Scott Atkins right now. He plays Killer
Speaker 1: in john Wick four, which is out this weekend. I
Speaker 1: am an obsessed fan of the first three, as I
Speaker 1: know you are so welcome. First off, I did want
Speaker 1: to give my condolences on the loss of Lance Reddick,
Speaker 1: your co star in the movie. Yeah, he played Sharon.
Speaker 1: Did you have any scenes with him in the new movie. Unfortunately, know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to mates Lance. But
Speaker 1: from talking to everyone, you know, nothing but praise for
Speaker 1: the man here. He was just a gentleman, a beautiful soul.
Speaker 1: And yeah, everybody's just shocked and saddened, and you know,
Speaker 1: your harm goes out andswer his family. Yeah, now, you
Speaker 1: didn't do any scenes with him. The movie is filmed
Speaker 1: all over the world, just to name a few. I
Speaker 1: know it's New York, Japan, France, Germany. Is that accurate? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in the Germany section. Okay, so we've seen
Speaker 1: the scenes on YouTube of you at the card table. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where there's four assassins. I understand you learned how to
Speaker 1: do card tricks for this movie. I did. Now, Luckily
Speaker 1: I haven't got a pack of cards with me today
Speaker 1: because I think I forgot. But I did learn it
Speaker 1: for the movie. Yeah, and I flicked the card and
Speaker 1: catch yet and I did that every take successfully. I
Speaker 1: was pretty happy with myself. Yeah. Does that count is
Speaker 1: doing your own stunts? Well? Yeah, I couldn't have had
Speaker 1: my eye out with that. Yeah. Hey, So for people
Speaker 1: who don't know, and you know, I listen, how do
Speaker 1: you not know about the john Wick franchise? Right? This
Speaker 1: is the fourth and storm it could just bring everybody
Speaker 1: up to speed, specifically about who you play in the
Speaker 1: in the film, which is Killer. And then I want
Speaker 1: you to talk a little bit about the daily prepping
Speaker 1: of how you got into this fat suit. I've been
Speaker 1: bugging the director since the first movie to give me
Speaker 1: a part in john Wick real four films in finally
Speaker 1: gives me the call, Scott, if you want to be
Speaker 1: in the John Wick movie. Yeah, there's only one catch.
Speaker 1: You're going to be in this fat suit and needs
Speaker 1: you to be German. It's not gonna be easy. You're
Speaker 1: going to be in the rain indoors. You need to
Speaker 1: learn card tricks. Are you work for the challenge? And
Speaker 1: aside from the initial bias of thinking, Wow, I'm going
Speaker 1: to get to be in john Wick for and maybe
Speaker 1: nobody's not going to know it's me, after I got
Speaker 1: over that little bit, I was very excited to to,
Speaker 1: you know, for the opportunity to create this character from
Speaker 1: the ground up. So Killer Harkan is the head of
Speaker 1: the German table and he is a feared, revered assassin
Speaker 1: that maybe has let himself go a little bit in
Speaker 1: his later years, but when it when it all comes
Speaker 1: down to it, he's still got a bit of gas
Speaker 1: left in the engine. And it's just a fun, you know,
Speaker 1: great part to play. Shall we roll lots of dialogue.
Speaker 1: Had a blast playing the character. I miss him from
Speaker 1: from what I have an interview. I saw the director
Speaker 1: at a chad. He said he had a character in mind,
Speaker 1: but you decided you have no one to blame but yourself.
Speaker 1: You added more impairments to the character. Can you explain
Speaker 1: what you came up with and why? Um? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the so the the coughing and the inhaler and the accents.
Speaker 1: You know, he pretty much gave me free rein to
Speaker 1: just I don't know why he trusted me with it.
Speaker 1: Somehow felt that I'd be able to pull it off.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I started off with the voice and listen
Speaker 1: to a lot of German actors but settled on this. Actually,
Speaker 1: that reminds me because do you remember the young Frankenstein, Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, And do you remember to go to Luck
Speaker 1: a ditch? And it was, yeah, the first accent. I
Speaker 1: was listening to that guy and I felt like that
Speaker 1: might be way in but that would have been completely
Speaker 1: out there. I'm glad I didn't go with that. And
Speaker 1: then I satled on Ronald Lacie from Vaders of the
Speaker 1: Lost Ark, the guy that grabbed the thing and plans
Speaker 1: his hand, and he had this voice said to us
Speaker 1: like yes, And even though it was an English actor
Speaker 1: with his version of a German accent, that just felt
Speaker 1: right right. I almost went with the young frankastar at
Speaker 1: some point that would have been really wild. Wow, So
Speaker 1: you settled on that accent? You know, you know you're
Speaker 1: a seasoned martial artists stuntman, You've been in all these films.
Speaker 1: What was it like doing what you normally do, which
Speaker 1: comes natural to you in a fat suit? How was that?
Speaker 1: There was there a transition period? Was there some things
Speaker 1: that you needed to learn relearn? No, it was it
Speaker 1: was okay. It wasn't as heavy as it looks. Actually,
Speaker 1: it was important for us to sell the weight of
Speaker 1: the suit, you know, for it to be looked like
Speaker 1: I was really that big. We felt that if I
Speaker 1: started doing any extravagant flying kicks that you'd immediately tell
Speaker 1: the you know, I'm not twenty five stone or whatever
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be. We wanted to keep them the Marshal,
Speaker 1: you know, we wanted to sell the fact that he
Speaker 1: used to be this guy that could do amazing things,
Speaker 1: but now times took his toll. He's been eating way
Speaker 1: too many biscuits. Ate that. Wait, we didn't want to
Speaker 1: get rid of gravity. Sure, okay, now, Scott, talking about
Speaker 1: movies you've done previously, some of your movie titles basically
Speaker 1: explain them as violent fighting films. So Legacy of Lies,
Speaker 1: you've done, Avengement, Triple Threat, Abduction, No Surrender, The Dead Collector.
Speaker 1: A lot of them have these titles that you know
Speaker 1: what you're getting. Yeah. Have you ever thought about doing
Speaker 1: a rom com? No? Okay, because your director described you
Speaker 1: as one of the best looking men on the planet.
Speaker 1: My worry would be if I did a rom com
Speaker 1: that would help to savagely smash someone in the face.
Speaker 1: And you know that's what my fans want, right. Well,
Speaker 1: how great would it be if you find your love
Speaker 1: interest and you know there's always a good looking blind
Speaker 1: guy that gives you problems in the middle of the
Speaker 1: film where she's torn between you and him. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: be the problem. You would just beat him up. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you know he could kill her and I
Speaker 1: go on a revenge mission. And yes, now what it
Speaker 1: is is I I've got a fan base, and because
Speaker 1: I remember having some watching some action guys when I
Speaker 1: was a teenager and just being really disappointed when they
Speaker 1: started trying to do other things because I didn't want
Speaker 1: Van Dam to do Nowhere to Run. I wanted him
Speaker 1: to do Hard Target, I wanted him to do Time Cup.
Speaker 1: I wanted him to do blood Sport too, And that
Speaker 1: has really stuck with me. So I've got really loyal
Speaker 1: fan base, and I want to keep giving them what
Speaker 1: they want. Now, I try and mix some genres within
Speaker 1: the action movies, like it's action slash sci fi or
Speaker 1: action slash comedy, but I like to keep the action
Speaker 1: there because I had it to my fan base. But
Speaker 1: never say never, is this your first foray into a
Speaker 1: comedic slightly comedic role. It isn't my first, No. I
Speaker 1: mean you can see from so when I started producing
Speaker 1: and writing some of my own projects, you can see
Speaker 1: the comedy coming through. So Accident Man was something I
Speaker 1: started to put more comedy into that Debt Collector we
Speaker 1: rewrote and had a lot of import There's a lot
Speaker 1: of comedic moments and that I tried something full on
Speaker 1: max Cloud, which didn't necessarily work, but I was moving
Speaker 1: more into the comedy. I'm a big fan. Was talking
Speaker 1: about being a big fan of Mine's Python earlier. So
Speaker 1: if I'm left to my own devices, that's something I
Speaker 1: would lean into. And this. I don't remember having a
Speaker 1: conversation with the director about comedy for john Wick, but
Speaker 1: you know, I was in the suits and it kind
Speaker 1: of lent itself to that, and I lent into it
Speaker 1: and did works out a lot of action flicks, it
Speaker 1: feels like putting villains in It's like putting a square
Speaker 1: peg in a round hole and there's really no no
Speaker 1: character development. What is it about the john Wick series
Speaker 1: where the characters around John Wick and the villains and
Speaker 1: everyone is just as interesting. What is it about the writing,
Speaker 1: the directing, the action? There's got it. There's a secret
Speaker 1: sauce in the john Wick franchise which has made it
Speaker 1: so popular all these years. Can you can you talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about the character development and why they're
Speaker 1: so likable and you want to see them in their
Speaker 1: own spin offs? Yeah? Well, I think that the unit
Speaker 1: of the john Wick world is quite enigmatic. Kids he's
Speaker 1: not over explained. You have to try and figure some
Speaker 1: things out for yourself. Every character is kind of shady,
Speaker 1: even John Wick, you know. I mean, he's the world's
Speaker 1: greatest assassin. He's killed hundreds and hundreds of people, but
Speaker 1: people love him. People love him because he's played by
Speaker 1: Keanu Reeves. So Chad the director, he just believes that
Speaker 1: it's it's not the action you've fallen in love with. Yes,
Speaker 1: the action is amazing, but you're falling in love with
Speaker 1: the characters. And if you don't like John Wick, or
Speaker 1: even if you don't like the bad guys, the characters
Speaker 1: that you're spending time with, you're not going to enjoy
Speaker 1: the process as much. So I have to agree with
Speaker 1: both of you, because when you watch the movies, the
Speaker 1: bad guys are so good, you're hoping they don't die
Speaker 1: at the end, but you are, Yeah, you want them
Speaker 1: to get it, but you enjoy the process of them
Speaker 1: get in it. Now, the reviews of this movie have
Speaker 1: been off the charts. You are not doing press with
Speaker 1: us today because you've got a stinker film you're trying
Speaker 1: to promote and help out Rotten Tomatoes. People are calling
Speaker 1: this by far the best John Wick film, which is
Speaker 1: an incredible statement. One of the best action movies in years,
Speaker 1: most violent and action packed john Wick film yet. So
Speaker 1: you have to feel pretty confident going into the weekend
Speaker 1: knowing you're already going to be number one. Absolutely, let's hope.
Speaker 1: So Thinker's crossed. You were in Doctor Strange, so it's
Speaker 1: this may not be your biggest film, but it'll be
Speaker 1: one of the two biggest. Would that be fair to say? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that they're saying it's going to be big, and
Speaker 1: it should be big. It's I'm a big fan of
Speaker 1: all the John Wicks, but this one in particular is
Speaker 1: mind blowing. You're going to see stuff though. He's just
Speaker 1: gonna you've never seen you before, and the director things
Speaker 1: outside the box. I mean, think about the dogs doing
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu and you come up with that stuff. There's
Speaker 1: a car sequence in this that will blow your mind.
Speaker 1: There's a sequence with a shotgun with dragon's breath ammunition
Speaker 1: that will you've ever seen before. Wow. And you got
Speaker 1: the nun Chucks, you got the samurai, the yeah my
Speaker 1: sequence in the German Club. It's amazing. There's all sorts
Speaker 1: going on, so much action. Fourth times a charm. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: I'm finally getting into this and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see you this weekend. Of course, he plays killer in
Speaker 1: John Wick for Scott Atkins. Thank you for being on

Speaker 1: four if you're a fan. Now, look, this is not
Speaker 1: one of those movies where you can go, Do I
Speaker 1: have to see the first three john Wick? Yes, yes
Speaker 1: you do, because it's a continuous story and a world
Speaker 1: that they've created with Assassin rules and this. You have
Speaker 1: to see all four of them. But it's worth it.
Speaker 1: Go see all four of them. Go stream the first three.
