Speaker 2: of them, and they're asking for favors, like I know them,
Speaker 2: like we're still in touch, Like we're still so you know,
Speaker 2: like we see each other every week, like you know,

Speaker 2: it away and be like, you know what, do I
Speaker 2: really need this? We need to play red hot chili peppers,
Speaker 2: shut up dickets. I didn't take me a second on
Speaker 2: that one, So I said, you know what, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna give it away. Fine. That that's the kind of
Speaker 2: person I am. I'm a do gooder. I always wanted
Speaker 2: to portray it in a positive light. And there's nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with it. Just it just people can't come out
Speaker 2: of the woodwork.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't be given woodwork tickets. You can't. I had that.
Speaker 2: I had woodwork when I when I was working there.
Speaker 2: I get the woodwork, jingle ball tickets, requests, I get
Speaker 2: deb But listen, I have to be honest with you.
Speaker 2: I did it once, so uh we have We have
Speaker 2: a friend who I haven't seen and I don't know
Speaker 2: six or seven years used to work at another radio
Speaker 2: station in New York, and I like your you know,
Speaker 2: we were friendly. She went to work for the company
Speaker 2: that produces concerts. So when you when you see like, oh,
Speaker 2: such and such on tour. Uh produced by blah blah
Speaker 2: blah company. Yeah right, she works for that company, so uh.
Speaker 2: I want to say a year and a half ago,
Speaker 2: I wanted to take my daughter to see the the
Speaker 2: band Ghost and they were putting on the show and
Speaker 2: I couldn't get good tickets. The all the tickets low
Speaker 2: low down was sold out. He only had like nosebleed seats,
Speaker 2: and I wanted to try to get at least decencies.
Speaker 2: So I hit her up again. Hadn't spoken to her
Speaker 2: in five six years, and was like, Hey, I was
Speaker 2: wondering if your company, if you could help me. I
Speaker 2: want to purchase these tickets. I don't want them for free,
Speaker 2: but can you get me better seats? She's like, oh,
Speaker 2: let me see what I can do. That was the
Speaker 2: last time I heard from her. Never even got back
Speaker 2: to me to say she couldn't think she I think
Speaker 2: she did what you're supposed to do to your woodwork friends.
Speaker 2: She should at least got back to me and said, hey,
Speaker 2: I tried, we don't have access to those tickets whatever,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. She didn't get back to this. Oh

Speaker 2: just ghost her mic drop done. No, no, no, tell
Speaker 2: her you can't. I'm saying, be honest. Unlike unlike our
Speaker 2: friend who said, oh, let me look into that for you,
Speaker 2: and I never heard from her again. This is a
Speaker 2: person I knew for like ten years, but I hadn't
Speaker 2: spoken to in a few years. Pandemic, she quit, she
Speaker 2: changed jobs, And it's also about what can you do
Speaker 2: for me? Right? If I'm gonna do for you, then
Speaker 2: you do for me, Which is also why I also
Speaker 2: don't like reaching out to people for favors, because I
Speaker 2: know there's gonna come a day when they're gonna hit
Speaker 2: me up for a favor.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why she didn't get back to me, because
Speaker 2: I don't work in radio anymore, so I can't help her.
Speaker 2: I can't help her. You're You're useless to her, You're
Speaker 2: dead to her. Right, Yet people still ask me for
Speaker 2: We had a listener ask me if I can help
Speaker 2: with do something for them with the Elvis Durant Show
Speaker 2: social media account. Well, I said, I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: work there anymore. No, I'm not not gonna what I'm
Speaker 2: gonna reach out to the morning show and be like, hey, Abby,
Speaker 2: who you don't I don't know you really except that
Speaker 2: I know you want to do an only fans for
Speaker 2: your feet. Can you follow this person because I think
Speaker 2: you unfollowed them. I don't like, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't work anymore, but I have I have a
Speaker 2: similar old friend question I need your help with. And
Speaker 2: for those of you listening that want to leave us
Speaker 2: talk back. By the way, I'm going to call you slices.
Speaker 2: But I was told by a very good friend that
Speaker 2: I say slices too much. Someone who listens to the
Speaker 2: podcast a friend of mine. So I'm gonna say this
Speaker 2: one time, slices. That's the second time. Let me know
Speaker 2: your opinion on scary situation about the tickets and my
Speaker 2: situation which is similar like a third cousin to scary story.
Speaker 2: So when I was seventeen, when I was seven twenty, Yeah,
Speaker 2: when I was seventeen to twenty years old, it was
Speaker 2: a very good word. I had a job, and I
Speaker 2: worked at Chuck E Cheese Chuck E Cheese's, and I
Speaker 2: had a group of I had a group of friends.
Speaker 2: I had two different groups of friends. The manager friends
Speaker 2: like the people that were supervisors and managers, and I
Speaker 2: had the grunts like me when I started, And I'm
Speaker 2: still very good friends with a few of the people
Speaker 2: that weren't managers. Those were my rock friends. We went
Speaker 2: on rock concerts to get right. But I'm also I
Speaker 2: was really good friends for many years with the managers.
Speaker 2: I got promoted, I became a manager. I was part
Speaker 2: of that circle also, And even after we we all
Speaker 2: stopped working there, and when I was twenty, we stayed
Speaker 2: friends for a couple of years, close friends, and then
Speaker 2: we sort of grew apart. You know, you don't work
Speaker 2: with someone for a while, you grow apart. That's understandable, right, sure.
Speaker 2: And then I don't know, I want to say, maybe
Speaker 2: five years after we stopped working together, we got together.
Speaker 2: We hung out, We were boys, all good and I
Speaker 2: want to say there was like five or six of
Speaker 2: us roughly. That was our group. We used to go
Speaker 2: to restaurants together, We go to diners after work. That
Speaker 2: was our group. Okay, twenty eleven, some of us got
Speaker 2: together for a reunion. We had a reunion of where
Speaker 2: we work. So some of the six showed up, some
Speaker 2: of them didn't, and it was great. To see them.
Speaker 2: Love the guys, but we're not really friends anymore. They someone,
Speaker 2: they got married, they're kids, like you. You haven't seen
Speaker 2: him in a while. He grew apart, they moved, they're
Speaker 2: in different parts of the area. You don't see them.
Speaker 2: So one of the guys, who again, I like him
Speaker 2: very very much. He was one of my best friends
Speaker 2: back in the day when I was twenty and I've
Speaker 2: seen him a couple of times over the years. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not in my twenties anymore, so it's
Speaker 2: been a long time. Okay, I get an email from
Speaker 2: one of the guys from that group's wife because my
Speaker 2: buddy's not on social media. My old friend who I
Speaker 2: haven't seen, I want to say, since two thousand and two,
Speaker 2: but again occasionally. All right, I'm painting the picture. The
Speaker 2: wife says, Hey, the gang's getting back together. One of
Speaker 2: the boys from the group is moving to Florida, and
Speaker 2: we're throwing them a going away party. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: in a couple of months. Save the date, and we're
Speaker 2: all chipping in. We're getting them gifts. He's moving to Florida.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna see him again, right, follow me? God
Speaker 2: with you have you seen the problem yet, I haven't
Speaker 2: seen you haven't seen this person since two thousand and two. No, no,
Speaker 2: before that, I have not seen him. Maybe in thirty years.
Speaker 2: Oh even more than that. Oh wow, he didn't to
Speaker 2: my recollection. I don't think he was at the reunion
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eleven. That's wait a second, So
Speaker 2: how do you We're throwing a goodbye party party. It's
Speaker 2: somebody that nobody has seen for twenty years. And guess what,
Speaker 2: you already said goodbye thirty years ago. That's my point.
Speaker 2: We're having a goodbye party for someone that we don't
Speaker 2: see anymore. It's weird who who got married and and
Speaker 2: and moved and and has been nothing but with his wife.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's seen him, so kind of all
Speaker 2: kind of have to buy him a goodbye gift, a
Speaker 2: going away gift. Ah, I like you said, I already
Speaker 2: said goodbye. I'm gonna go because I want to see him.
Speaker 2: I do like him very much, but it's like not
Speaker 2: seeing someone since junior high school. I have to go.
Speaker 2: We're gonna going away party for a guy that you
Speaker 2: know when he lives here. He lives in the ne
Speaker 2: New York area. We haven't seen Yeah, No, that's yeah,
Speaker 2: that's weird. Florida. We're still not gonna see him, but
Speaker 2: now we're gonna have an excuse not to see him.
Speaker 2: And I gotta get him. I gotta shout out for
Speaker 2: a gift. Right, he lives in Staten Island. Is not
Speaker 2: that far. No, hardly. If you're in New Yorker, he's
Speaker 2: maybe like forty five minutes an hour with traffic. Would
Speaker 2: you go to the party and just not bring a gift? Well,
Speaker 2: that's the other question. How can I go to the
Speaker 2: party and not bring a gift? I gotta bring a gift.
Speaker 2: What do I get a guy that I don't know?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 2: I mean on tan lotion. He's moving to Florida. I mean,
Speaker 2: how do you remember him best? I mean when you care.
Speaker 2: I remember him as a manager of Chuck E Cheese
Speaker 2: when I was twenty years old. Get him a Chuck
Speaker 2: E cheesehead. No, I don't know. That's my dilemma. You
Speaker 2: have going away parties for people that you don't you
Speaker 2: certainly not. No, that's what we are you apparently we are.
Speaker 2: But are you gonna wax nostalogic with these people and
Speaker 2: you gonna show up and he'd be like, hey, remember
Speaker 2: the good old days, because that's what they turned into
Speaker 2: a bunch of reminiscent sessions. Listen, I'm looking forward to
Speaker 2: seeing the guy. Is it a formal party? I mean where?
Speaker 2: I mean? Is it a at a fancy place? I mean,
Speaker 2: what's going on here? It's a decent restaurant. I think
Speaker 2: it's not even like it's a bar and people getting
Speaker 2: together sitting around having a may be a bar restaurant.
Speaker 2: I don't I haven't checked out a gift. Then I'm
Speaker 2: that guy. Mmm, I'm already that guy. Fuck it. And Brodie, Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't be putting us in awkward situations like that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm again. I'm excited to go. And
Speaker 2: if any of them are listening to this podcast, I
Speaker 2: love you all, like family, like brothers. I just, uh,
Speaker 2: it's just awkward. Something's missing, you know. You know, a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, and I might have talked about
Speaker 2: it on the podcast, I had a kind of a
Speaker 2: a reunion of people that I hadn't seen since, like
Speaker 2: public school, elementary school, like neighborhood friends, and you're friends
Speaker 2: with everybody from you no I'm talking about elementary school
Speaker 2: K through six. We had a few, you know, and
Speaker 2: it was great. We caught up with a good time.
Speaker 2: It was a great. Remember when when I barred your
Speaker 2: blue crayon and didn't give it back. Oh yeah, a
Speaker 2: bunch of us shut right. That was the kind of
Speaker 2: stories we had.
Speaker 5: Hey.
Speaker 2: Remember in third grade, Miss Barrow, we can sit Indian style,
Speaker 2: and now you can't anymore. You have to do criss
Speaker 2: apple sauce.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Remember we played Remember Duck Duck goose and I had
Speaker 2: I said goose and you chased me. That was awesome.
Speaker 2: Remember we played tricks on Miss Barlow in her class.
Speaker 2: Remember the old hot she's not because she's seventy, the
Speaker 2: old water seat, pour the water shit out, plopping some
Speaker 2: water like those were the story and we shot spitballs.
Speaker 2: Remember those were the stories we had. Yeah, so yeah, so,
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it's nice to catch up with people.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with his and I'm very excited to see them.
Speaker 2: It's just I would have liked My point was in
Speaker 2: that story. I would have liked to have had a
Speaker 2: union get together before he was moving to Florida, because
Speaker 2: now we're gonna have a great time. Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna see him and be like old memories, what a
Speaker 2: great guy, because he's a great guy. He's a solid guy.
Speaker 2: They're all fucking funny. They do movie quotes like we do,
Speaker 2: they do song quotes. They're just funny guys from Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: But now he's moving to Florida, So I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: happy and then say it again. I think we should

Speaker 4: mentioning that it was a black guy.
Speaker 2: They did this to you. The reason, the reason, the
Speaker 2: reason I mentioned it is that both guys were black,
Speaker 2: and he first he thought it was the same guy
Speaker 2: because he can't, you know, get the part. You know
Speaker 2: it is shut up, look alike, scary stop that goes No,
Speaker 2: that's not true, only because the stories. The only reason
Speaker 2: why I thought it was the same guy in different
Speaker 2: neighborhoods was because it was the same exact story. He
Speaker 2: had to get back to Tom's River. Both the guys,
Speaker 2: both the guys hold on. Both guys took their empty
Speaker 2: wild out of their pockets and showed me there was
Speaker 2: no money in it. He had no credit card on
Speaker 2: him and Spruce. You know it's funny. You know, we
Speaker 2: do slice telling our listeners leave us voicemails. Somebody somebody
Speaker 2: this week somebody somebody left the voicemail and said, he's
Speaker 2: scary that guy you gave money to in the lobby.
Speaker 2: Did you man him? Listen. The reason I actually wanted
Speaker 2: to talk to you because they were being ripping me
Speaker 2: on the Big show, that Alis Durant show, because okay,
Speaker 2: I know somebody who who she's Italian and she's from
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Okay, she's from from Louisiana originally, right, U huh?
Speaker 2: And the morning show and the listeners crucified me because
Speaker 2: I made an observation and this is just me talking, right, okay,
Speaker 2: and I need your help. Maybe not, but I want
Speaker 2: you to be honest. So she wanted to she let
Speaker 2: us know that, you know, all of her friends have
Speaker 2: these Southern drawls. They talk like kind of like unto
Speaker 2: a New Orleans accent. Right, she doesn't have one, but
Speaker 2: I happen to know she comes from money. She's she's
Speaker 2: parents are rich. So I said, oh, I said, well,
Speaker 2: you're next of kin in a rich family. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: why you don't have the accent, because we're all trying
Speaker 2: to figure out why don't you have an accent? But
Speaker 2: your all friends do because she was actually doing a
Speaker 2: russions of her friends from New Orleans. But she speaks
Speaker 2: all scholarly like this, and oh, okay, she's got that
Speaker 2: college that college accent, you know I'm talking about when
Speaker 2: you go away to school, you come back four years
Speaker 2: later and they all sound the same. So I think
Speaker 2: when you're from a place of affluence, you lose the accent.
Speaker 2: But people are telling me that that's racist. So what
Speaker 2: does that mean that poor people can't speak right? They
Speaker 2: speak with dialects, and they're crushing me left and right.
Speaker 2: But I wanted to talk to you. And Brody he's
Speaker 2: hearing this story now for the first time as well.
Speaker 2: I can't be out of my mind, right, I'm not crazy?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Well, I told Brody knows this about me. When I
Speaker 4: first came to New York. The artistic director in my school,
Speaker 4: because you know, I'm originally from Louisiana.
Speaker 3: And I grew up in Virginia.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the artistic director in my school called me
Speaker 4: in his office and he said, you sound like a
Speaker 4: black hillbilly.
Speaker 2: We have to think a BLI that's what he told me.
Speaker 4: So I spent three years taking voice in speech classes,
Speaker 4: and that's probably why I do other dialects pretty well,
Speaker 4: pretty good, I think, because I just had this. They
Speaker 4: just they hammered me like that drill instructor in full
Speaker 4: metal jacket.
Speaker 2: They were just on me my southern accent. I bet
Speaker 2: you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
Speaker 2: Holy shit. So wait a second, Spruce, so let's hear
Speaker 2: your accent. I want to let's hear the original accent.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you can get back to it if you
Speaker 2: wanted to.
Speaker 4: Right, Look, Brody, you know this when we did when
Speaker 4: we did some stuff for Ed Lovers Show, Remember.
Speaker 2: That brod buck buck McDonald.
Speaker 4: Buck McDonald, buck McDonald was a variation of what I used.
Speaker 2: To sound like. Well. So, so, just to give an example,
Speaker 2: so I heard a guy on the radio to Spruce
Speaker 2: did his character called Buck McDonald, and he was the
Speaker 2: southern guy who was maybe had some racial problems. Uh
Speaker 2: well he was, yeah, right right, So Spruce did a
Speaker 2: character he's a radio as a as a yes, as
Speaker 2: a racist member of the clan Jesus and nobody knew
Speaker 2: that Spruce was black, and I helped him write the
Speaker 2: bit and I'm, you know, I'm a Jewish white guy.
Speaker 2: But I heard a guy who does a commercial in
Speaker 2: the radio all the time. I remember the guy's name
Speaker 2: is Buck McDonald. I recorded this guy because he sounds
Speaker 2: like Spruce's character. See if you can hear it to day,
Speaker 2: hold on, here we go. Are you a victim of
Speaker 2: the Tom Shuir trap and think there's no way out?
Speaker 4: I'm Chuck McDowell, founder of Wesley Financial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay McDonald was.
Speaker 4: I was Buck McDonald. I was Buck McDonald, one of
Speaker 4: the original boys in the hood.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the way he's that's the way spruces just
Speaker 2: found sound. Okay, now that was okay. But you went
Speaker 2: to uh, I guess finishing school. Is that what it is? Speech?
Speaker 2: Classic speech classes? I finishing school where they it's on
Speaker 2: his head.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to finish.
Speaker 2: I went to finishing school in Europe. Is mainly on
Speaker 2: the plane. Here's the thing I always you know he is.
Speaker 2: He's the princess of Genovia. Now, yes, I am listen.
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring this onto this podcast because because
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring this on to this podcast because
Speaker 2: school we could speak at will here and I don't
Speaker 2: get cut off, and I can't. I can actually my
Speaker 2: thought cut off. No, I can have thought all full
Speaker 2: thought and it's not out of context like sometimes. Right,
Speaker 2: So she does best that you work with on the
Speaker 2: morning show, and I'll let you speak. All I'm trying
Speaker 2: to set over you. They talk over you. So what
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say is time you try to speak.
Speaker 2: Somebody's just stop. Enough of that shit. God, I get
Speaker 2: enough of that way, I don't want to.
Speaker 4: Okay, go ahead, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, finishing right by the way, scary scary spruce. What
Speaker 2: was the name of your polo pony?
Speaker 4: What what was the.
Speaker 2: Name of your polo horse? His name was Prince Roger? Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you, all right, Prince Roger. So so am I
Speaker 2: wrong for thinking that that as money? You know, you
Speaker 2: come from a wealthy family that all of a sudden
Speaker 2: you lose the accent and you become more well to
Speaker 2: do because you hear people all the time, not just British,
Speaker 2: you know. But oh I think I'm going here and
Speaker 2: I'm doing that, and like if people lose it so so,
Speaker 2: but then the opposite is also true that I guess
Speaker 2: if you never get out of the neighborhood where you're from, people,
Speaker 2: whenever we get out the neighborhood you're from, you only
Speaker 2: hear people talk like that. So you stay with the
Speaker 2: local dialect. And that could be any dialect that doesn't
Speaker 2: necessarily mean a Southern dialect or anywhere else. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about people from Brooklyn who never got out of Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: You know, I get a blue collar family in Brooklyn,
Speaker 2: and you can hear my Brooklyn in me. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I tried to my accent. So I just want to know,
Speaker 2: am I nuts? And but I'm certainly not. I'm certainly
Speaker 2: not racist for thinking this.
Speaker 4: I say this in a in a loving way, and
Speaker 4: you have to let me explain what I'm saying, Yes,
Speaker 4: before you jump the conclusions when I say this floor
Speaker 4: is yours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, scary. You are a terrible, terrible big person. Okay,
Speaker 2: Proty stepped on you. You me explain.
Speaker 4: F The reason I'm saying you're a terrible biggot bit
Speaker 4: is that you're not very good at it. You're not
Speaker 4: good at being a bigger. So I think you might
Speaker 4: say something that people think has some bigotry in them,
Speaker 4: but they're unintentional. You don't mean them and that so
Speaker 4: you don't mean that statement as a bigot, would I believe? Man,
Speaker 4: I'm from the South. I've seen all the bigot and
Speaker 4: you're a horrible and you're not a Big're a horrible one.
Speaker 2: You're horrible, right, A horrible at being one?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you. That's a compliment. I take it
Speaker 2: as a compliment. Yeah, but but I just want to
Speaker 2: know from you from your standpoint, because you are from
Speaker 2: you are from Louisiana. Like are your friends that maybe
Speaker 2: you know the before and after, the people that maybe
Speaker 2: have like quote, successfully made it with in life? You know,
Speaker 2: think of somebody that went from rags to riches? Did
Speaker 2: they lose their I would say this.
Speaker 4: I would say this, it's about environment. I don't know
Speaker 4: if your friend is from Louisiana.
Speaker 2: She is, but she left, she did, She's.
Speaker 4: Good, she hasn't you know, she doesn't live there anymore
Speaker 4: because you adapt to your environment. That's what I believe
Speaker 4: you're like. When I took a class in London for
Speaker 4: a summer. When I came back after three almost three months,
Speaker 4: I had someone of an English accent, a UK accent
Speaker 4: just by default, just by being there.
Speaker 2: So is it safe to say because she had, she
Speaker 2: has money, she's more well traveled, and she's gone around
Speaker 2: the world. And that's why it's all I'm saying, is right.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying this.
Speaker 4: She's from Louisiana and she came to school in New
Speaker 4: York and stayed in New York for three or four years,
Speaker 4: like I did.
Speaker 2: She's going to pick she's gonna.
Speaker 3: Pick pick up somewhat of.
Speaker 2: A New York accent. She's gonna lose her accent.
Speaker 4: She takes voice and speech classes, then she's really.
Speaker 2: Gonna get rid of it like I did.
Speaker 4: Right, I mean I have no trace most the times
Speaker 4: of a Southern accent.
Speaker 2: Let me give an example to prove the point. So
Speaker 2: Scary and I are from benson Hurst, Brooklyn, but I
Speaker 2: had most of my family lived in Long Island and
Speaker 2: New Jersey, so when I would see them, I would
Speaker 2: hear that they didn't speak the way I did. And
Speaker 2: so although I still have a remnants of a Brooklyn accent,
Speaker 2: people who never left that neighborhood have never experienced other things.
Speaker 2: Here's a video Scary sent me of a woman from
Speaker 2: our neighborhood in nineteen eighty nine. Oh yeah, on tik
Speaker 2: all right, listen to this woman. There's nothing wrong with her.
Speaker 2: But this is what the people we grew up with
Speaker 2: sounded like. Okay, here we go here.
Speaker 3: I pretty like about this neighborhood.
Speaker 6: Why do you figure because all my friends are here,
Speaker 6: my family, I can go out and say hello, take
Speaker 6: home to the corner and stop and talk to people.
Speaker 3: I know where my children are.
Speaker 2: I know if I'm not around, somebody'll watch them. You know,
Speaker 2: comfortable here, she's comfortable here, comfortable the wrong with her?
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Okay, listen, listen.
Speaker 2: Here, all my friends are here. That's the way people
Speaker 2: in our neighborhood spoke. People never left that neighborhood.
Speaker 4: That woman sounds like happy with some of her life choices.
Speaker 2: I love people neighborhood. You're painting the picture for her.
Speaker 2: You don't know her story. They're our neighborhood, Spruce, They're
Speaker 2: from our neighborhood, and I'm sure everyone has this in
Speaker 2: there in their area. They moved from from our neighborhood
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn. They got money, and a lot of them
Speaker 2: moved to Staten Island. But in Staten Island. It's all
Speaker 2: the people from Brooklyn, so the accent didn't change. So
Speaker 2: it wasn't about the money, It's about environment. If you
Speaker 2: move out of Brooklyn Staten Island, you lose that accent
Speaker 2: because the people around you aren't saying water, They're saying water,
Speaker 2: and you might start sound like you go to England,
Speaker 2: you start to have a British act. Well, this particular
Speaker 2: woman from New Orleans was like, I was trying to
Speaker 2: expand she was trying to say, look, look all my
Speaker 2: friends talk like Southern draw like that. Whatever. I can't
Speaker 2: even do it. I'm terrible at it.
Speaker 4: Look, I think I think most people are I think
Speaker 4: most people are sponges. I just think humans are sponges.
Speaker 4: That's just our gift to adapt. And if we're in
Speaker 4: an environment long enough, we adapt to the environment. And
Speaker 4: one of those things is the way you speak, you know,
Speaker 4: other than the way you live. You just say, we
Speaker 4: just that's a human that's human nature. We adapt to our.
Speaker 2: Environment, all right, Michael Jackson, You know, yeah, listen, it's
Speaker 2: no different than when look, there are some politicians who
Speaker 2: obviously put on an accent when they're in a certain area.
Speaker 2: But There's also some politicians who are just human, and
Speaker 2: when they get around people that speak a certain way,
Speaker 2: they'll use colloquialisms that that helped them fit in. So
Speaker 2: if I was a politician, right and I was let's
Speaker 2: say I'm running for office, and I went to a
Speaker 2: temple and I was giving a speech in front of Jews,
Speaker 2: I might say, oh, you know, you shouldn't know from
Speaker 2: it a little more than I would if I was
Speaker 2: given a speech to a bunch of Italian guys at
Speaker 2: a union hall, I wouldn't be like, so hey, Vinnie
Speaker 2: Tony Oi. It wouldn't make any sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you went to third Ebenezer Baptist Church in Harlem.
Speaker 2: Right, right, I wouldn't be saying I plots, I plots
Speaker 2: when I hear I wouldn't be I wouldn't be using
Speaker 2: Yiddish words. But you know, I also me wouldn't be
Speaker 2: using uh black colloquialisms at the Ebenezer church. Now that
Speaker 2: being said, if I was black, I might just like
Speaker 2: being Jewish going to a temple. If I was a
Speaker 2: black politician, I might use more Southern accent is Southern phrasing.
Speaker 2: If I was at a Southern rally, or a black rally.
Speaker 2: And I think we sometimes criticize politicians always he or
Speaker 2: she is putting on the accent, They're faking it. I
Speaker 2: think it's just natural to uh, you know, your surroundings
Speaker 2: bring out certain things when you speak. So that's all
Speaker 2: I first of all, I okay, I just want to
Speaker 2: say thank you, thank you for not jumping all over me.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I'm glad that we had this conversation.
Speaker 2: And you know, I feel closer. I feel I feel
Speaker 2: closer to you right now. I feel closer to you.
Speaker 2: Want to I want to hug you. I want to
Speaker 2: hug you too. There, Bruce Spruce, Well, quick life update
Speaker 2: before you go, because because everybody's been wanting to know,
Speaker 2: and then we got to take a break. Okay, what's
Speaker 2: your life update? Oh what am I doing right now?
Speaker 4: I'm still it's me, you know, bro, You guys know
Speaker 4: I'm just bawling on a budget, you know, doing my job.
Speaker 2: You know, hopefully you know.
Speaker 4: I'm a I get off on creating stuff. So just
Speaker 4: as long as I can help still create fun stuff.
Speaker 4: I like to laugh, I like to have a good time,
Speaker 4: and that's really it. I don't do anything else.
Speaker 2: I'm a slave to my job and I love it.
Speaker 2: I love being a captive to my job. My dad, Spruce,
Speaker 2: thank you. I'm gonna PLAYNNA play Spruce's song one more time.
Speaker 2: OKAD have to jingle out. Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: love you buddy. Sounded nice. You loved now Herepruce. There
Speaker 2: there goes Spruce.
Speaker 3: The Blyn Boys Podcast. We will be right back.
Speaker 2: I missed Spruce. What a great guy. I was nice
Speaker 2: hearing from him. It was really cool to commercial. I'm
Speaker 2: glad I got that off my chest and I got
Speaker 2: to speak my mind and not be judging. Did you
Speaker 2: feel you feel uh heard? You feel seen?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I I feel like the slices might be secretly judging me.
Speaker 2: But at least I got my side of the story out.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 2: the slices calling in with their thickest accents that they
Speaker 2: either got rid of or still have. Of course, because
Speaker 2: that's what they do. It's lifetime. Nothing. There is nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with local accents. I don't I don't, I don't
Speaker 2: have anything wrong with it. But I I said, look,
Speaker 2: it was based on you know, you know money, you know,
Speaker 2: if you got money. If you're rich, you lose the app.
Speaker 2: If you have the ability to put yourself in other surroundings,
Speaker 2: that's all. You don't have to have money. If the
Speaker 2: girl from Louisiana moved to North Dakota, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: her accent would change a little bit. So anyway, I
Speaker 2: had two trips recently that I wanted to tell you
Speaker 2: about at some point. But let me tell you about
Speaker 2: a quick. I took a trip to New Haven up
Speaker 2: in Connecticut, and I said, you know what, I'm going
Speaker 2: to stop off in New Haven and I'll make a run,
Speaker 2: all right. So I had gone up with my family
Speaker 2: to Connecticut, and I said, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: run over to New Haven, grab pizza and bring it
Speaker 2: and bring it back right great.
Speaker 1: So I.
Speaker 2: I went to Frank pepe again, famous for their white
Speaker 2: clam pie. The best, very good again New Haven pizza,
Speaker 2: very good, not as good as New York, but very
Speaker 2: good pizza. Anyway, the app says, when you order the pizza,
Speaker 2: go in. And if you ever been to Frank Peppy,
Speaker 2: it's a little storefront and you go in as a
Speaker 2: little vestibule area like to the left is it to
Speaker 2: go area? And sometimes there's somebody working there, and then
Speaker 2: his plates and napkins. And then another door you walk
Speaker 2: in and is where the dining is, and then the
Speaker 2: back there's a counter and the ovens and everything else.
Speaker 2: When you first walk in, there's an area where you
Speaker 2: can wait for a table or whatever. So the app says,
Speaker 2: when you go in, when you're in the vestibule the
Speaker 2: first area, tell the host your name for your pickup
Speaker 2: order and they'll take care of it for you. Great, okay. Now,
Speaker 2: on the weekends, they have a side location next door
Speaker 2: in the parking lot. It's so busy. On the weekends,
Speaker 2: they have a separate store which's just for to go.
Speaker 2: So I had never gone into the store before to
Speaker 2: pick up it to go order because I was there
Speaker 2: during the week So I go into the vestibule and
Speaker 2: there's a guy there with a with a blue jacket
Speaker 2: on and he's wearing a vest similar to the vest
Speaker 2: of the guy on the street who tap my car.
Speaker 2: Mm hm okay, but it's orange okay. And I said, hey,
Speaker 2: pick up for Brody. He says, no Ramos And I said, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not Ramos. Brody. Is it ready? He says, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I said, well, you know how long it
Speaker 2: will be? I don't know. He says, you probably should
Speaker 2: go in and ask. So I'm like, all right, well,
Speaker 2: why am I checking in with the guy in the
Speaker 2: vestibule if he doesn't know if my order is ready,
Speaker 2: how long it's going to take. Isn't the whole point
Speaker 2: to check in with him? You watch the purpose of
Speaker 2: having the guy there to begin with, if I have
Speaker 2: to go to the counter anyway. Sure, So I go inside.
Speaker 2: I go up to the counter and I say, I'm
Speaker 2: picking up for Brody. She says, oh, all right, yeah,
Speaker 2: your pizza's right here. It's been sitting here for a
Speaker 2: few minutes. I said, okay, well I'll come. The guy
Speaker 2: up front had no idea when my pizza will be ready.
Speaker 2: The app says, to speak to the guy in the vestibule.
Speaker 2: She says, I don't know. That guy doesn't work here. Wow,
Speaker 2: what was he doing? He was Ramos? He wanted pizza.
Speaker 2: I said, I said, pizza for Brody. He said, no,
Speaker 2: he thought you worked there. He thought I was checking
Speaker 2: in with him, right, yeah, we're checking in with each other. Yeah, No,
Speaker 2: Ramo thought I was saying, are you Brody at pizza's ready.
Speaker 2: You thought he worked there, he thought you worked there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I was like ready to complain about the guy,
Speaker 2: and she's like, he didn't work here. That how it is?
Speaker 3: How was it?
Speaker 2: How was How was the pizza? A solid eight?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 2: I had this. I had the shrimp. I ordered the
Speaker 2: garlic shrimp instead of the clams. Yeah, it was fine.
Speaker 2: It was good. Yeah, I'm sure it was good, but
Speaker 2: I had I've had pizza in New Jersey this week
Speaker 2: that was better. Maybe it's lost its luster. No, it's again.
Speaker 2: It's a an acquired taste. If you like that pizza, yeah,
Speaker 2: then it's great. Again. I gave it an eight out
Speaker 2: of ten. Yeah, I've just had nines and tens that
Speaker 2: are absolutely better. But it was good. It was fine,
Speaker 2: and I wanted to go to Modern. They would close
Speaker 2: that day, so anyway, I saw it, mister Ramos touch pizza.
Speaker 2: So I agreed to help my sister plan my nephew,
Speaker 2: Lucas's birthday party. Oh your advice on this some money?
Speaker 2: I thinks they don't. That's That's what I would say. Oh,

Speaker 2: who don't know, about fifteen years ago, they started building
Speaker 2: this monstrosity of a thing unrelated to what's there now.
Speaker 2: And it was this ugly blue and yellow thing near
Speaker 2: where the Jets and Giants play in the meadowlands. There
Speaker 2: was a big ski ramp and it was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be this mega thing. Then it went bankrupt.
Speaker 2: Then another company bought it and they went bankrupt. Then
Speaker 2: another company, company after company kept buying it and not
Speaker 2: building it. Then, as they were ready to finally open
Speaker 2: this massive, incredible indoor water park and rollercoasters, COVID hit
Speaker 2: and everything shut down. This place was cursed for fifteen years.
Speaker 2: You drive by on the on the Jersey Turnpike and
Speaker 2: you're like, look at that fucking I sore. Halfway finish, yeah,
Speaker 2: halfway finished. It looked like it was condemned, like from
Speaker 2: the seventies, like they would film stranger things there. It
Speaker 2: was just horrible. And then finally in like twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: they finished it, opened it, and now it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: It's not a mall. They don't let you call it
Speaker 2: a mall. It's not a sponsor. I'm doing a fucking
Speaker 2: commercial for them. It's like seven malls put together, and
Speaker 2: it's massive. Hit the jingle on yourself. You did a
Speaker 2: better job. It's explain that that I did.
Speaker 3: No. I just think this.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that I thought it would
Speaker 2: never open. All right, So I have a ski jump,
Speaker 2: right exactly? They do so anyway, so if we're going
Speaker 2: to treat the kids to rides and stuff and have
Speaker 2: a pizza party and ice creaming cake whatever they have
Speaker 2: and all that and have a whole make a day
Speaker 2: of it, yeah, chuckie chie, do you think And because
Speaker 2: I'm planning it because you know, because obviously my I'm
Speaker 2: the connection to it. Do you think, oh, they came
Speaker 2: out of the woodwork for a favor. You are a
Speaker 2: connection your print you see what do you mean?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, I'm connected to it because there are my clients.
Speaker 2: So my question to you is, if I'm planning this
Speaker 2: for my sister's child, what percent of the party do
Speaker 2: I have to pay? Your No, your your percentage of
Speaker 2: the payment is that you're doing the favor and the
Speaker 2: hook up, getting them a discount, a great a great location,
Speaker 2: and a date. I feel obligated. You're gonna get free
Speaker 2: game tokens, but I feel obligated to kind of because
Speaker 2: I'm kind of spearheading this that I need to. Like,
Speaker 2: you know, you're doing them the favor they asked you
Speaker 2: for a favor. That's the that's the gift. You give
Speaker 2: a normal gift to the kid. You don't play, You
Speaker 2: don't pay for the party. Your role is to get
Speaker 2: them the good price and the and the and the
Speaker 2: schmooze and the VIP treatment. All right, that's that's the bonus.
Speaker 2: You know, I knew that it was a good thing
Speaker 2: to come to you. I knew I would feel better
Speaker 2: about myself. I just saved you five hundred bucks again,
Speaker 2: Brody saved me money every Now you could take that
Speaker 2: money and buy me a steak dinner. Went hell, freeze
Speaker 2: is over.
Speaker 3: And scary.
Speaker 2: I got, I gotta, I gotta, yeah, I know, help, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you a story of you have had
Speaker 2: one of those days where everything goes completely wrong? And yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: so I had a I had a business meeting. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't call it a job interview, but it was an
Speaker 2: opportunity to do some freelance comedy writing, you know, a
Speaker 2: little writing on the side. And I had to go
Speaker 2: to the lower east side of Manhattan. So if you
Speaker 2: look at Manhattan, which is it looks like the letter
Speaker 2: the letter I right, it's a north South island. This
Speaker 2: is in the lower right part of the island. And
Speaker 2: this is the area where there's really no trains. So
Speaker 2: there's trains like eight blocks north and some trains six
Speaker 2: blocks west. There's trains all around. But if this is
Speaker 2: the area of Manhattan where there's really no trains, close okay,
Speaker 2: h So I realize I map it out and I
Speaker 2: have to get there at one o'clock in the afternoon,
Speaker 2: so I figure out if I go to a parking
Speaker 2: ride in New Jersey and get on the New Jersey
Speaker 2: Path train that gets into Manhattan. So I switch in
Speaker 2: New Jersey to a second Path train, and then I
Speaker 2: switch to a New York City subway, and then I
Speaker 2: can take that east bound and I can get about.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, nine blocks away from where I need
Speaker 2: to go. Okay, a lot of trains involved, lots a
Speaker 2: lot of trains. So I decide to leave early because
Speaker 2: I don't know how many how it's gonna you know,
Speaker 2: you wait for trains, then you get off of train
Speaker 2: for another train. Start of waiting. I figure out it's
Speaker 2: an hour and five minute commute according to Google Maps.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna give it
Speaker 2: like an hour and forty I'm gonna leave an hour
Speaker 2: and forty minutes early. I don't want to I don't
Speaker 2: want to be late. This is an important meeting where
Speaker 2: I might get a chance to my little comedy, little
Speaker 2: something on the side whatever. So as I'm leaving my house,
Speaker 2: take care of the dogs, and I got some packages.
Speaker 2: I got a mail. So I take these big boxes
Speaker 2: and I go down the stairs and I walk out
Speaker 2: the garage door, not the front door. I walk out
Speaker 2: the garage door, and I go to my car, get
Speaker 2: in the car, and I'm driving. I get it, you know,
Speaker 2: go no problem. And I see that I'm looking good.
Speaker 2: I left on time, ready to go. You're rocking, bocking.
Speaker 2: So I get on the parkway and I have to
Speaker 2: get off at exits. Let's say exit three. I don't
Speaker 2: remember the number exit three to go to the parking
Speaker 2: ride I need to go to. So I'm about a
Speaker 2: I don't know, half a mile away from the exit.
Speaker 2: I'm in the left lane. I'm passing people, and I
Speaker 2: there's a truck in the middle lane, and there's a
Speaker 2: car in front of me and a car behind me.
Speaker 2: So I can't get over because the truck is next
Speaker 2: to me, and I can't go around the truck and
Speaker 2: pass him because it's a car in front of me.
Speaker 2: And I can't slow down because it's a car behind me. Right,
Speaker 2: lionel Richie can't slow down? Slow down? Yeah, very good.
Speaker 2: So I'm trapped now in a car, car, truck sandwich
Speaker 2: in the left lane and there's no shoulder. I can't
Speaker 2: like go on the shoulder, so I can't get over,
Speaker 2: so I miss my exit. Oh that's, by the way,
Speaker 2: that's happened to me before. And I will say this,
Speaker 2: better to go to the next exit and do the
Speaker 2: and and double back, then get into an accident or
Speaker 2: risk or risk it. You know what, Dave, I haven't
Speaker 2: blowing the horn like a madman to the car in
Speaker 2: front of me to pull up faster a little bit
Speaker 2: so I can get out of this trap. So finally
Speaker 2: I get out, and I get off the next exit. Now,
Speaker 2: the next exit involves going around to round around, and
Speaker 2: I can take the streets or around to round around
Speaker 2: and get back on the park. When the other direction, well,
Speaker 2: when I get off, I have to make a left
Speaker 2: road close to construction. Many of errors. Here we go. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh my god. Now I'm looking at
Speaker 2: Now I'm looking at my time, and I'm calculating. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm still twenty minutes ahead of schedule. I still should
Speaker 2: be okay. Can give you some background music for this,
Speaker 2: because yeah, it says it, Because this is this sounds
Speaker 2: like a circus. It sounds like what's what's next? So
Speaker 2: I back out of the street that I've now turned into,
Speaker 2: and I make a broke it. I make a K turn,
Speaker 2: a U turn, and I go back out to the
Speaker 2: street I was at, and I go around the whole neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I gotta go around and around and around and around
Speaker 2: to get back to where I need to go to.
Speaker 2: Then get on a different street to go to the
Speaker 2: train station. I get to the trains the train station,
Speaker 2: and again this is this was Tuesday of this week. Scary.
Speaker 2: It was about I don't know, forty five degrees. So
Speaker 2: I get to the train station and I go to
Speaker 2: the park and ride and there's no one there at
Speaker 2: the park and ride. So I find a guy, so
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll go park. So I go to
Speaker 2: park and uh. The guy said you have to scan
Speaker 2: the QR code to park. And I scan the code
Speaker 2: and I see I see uh. I hear a train
Speaker 2: coming in the distance. So I'm like, oh shit, I
Speaker 2: better hurry and get that train. So I stay ahead
Speaker 2: of schedule. I get out of my car, scary, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh shit, it's cold outside. Let me go
Speaker 2: back in and get my coat because I don't drive
Speaker 2: up my coat. I was down on the front seat.
Speaker 2: I realize scary that when I left my house carrying
Speaker 2: the packages. I didn't have my coat. So now it's
Speaker 2: forty five degrees. I gotta go on in the on
Speaker 2: the train and get into Manhattan with no fucking coat.
Speaker 2: And I can't go home because you make minutes, never
Speaker 2: make it back in time. So I run to the train.
Speaker 2: I get to the train station and and I missed
Speaker 2: the train.
Speaker 6: Of course.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting in the inside of the train station, on
Speaker 2: the path station, and there's electric doors, you know, they
Speaker 2: have like the censor above them. Sure, so if you
Speaker 2: stand by them, the door open.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 2: So there's people standing by the door. So when the
Speaker 2: doors are staying open, and I'm freezing because I have
Speaker 2: no cobodies wearing scarves and gloves and hats, and I'm
Speaker 2: in a shirt and jeans, you know, looking decent, but
Speaker 2: I don't have a coat. So I say, excuse me,
Speaker 2: can you Can you guys move a little bit because
Speaker 2: you're opening the door, and they're like, oh, no problem.
Speaker 2: They walk outside onto the platform and they're on the
Speaker 2: other side where there's also a sensor, and the doors
Speaker 2: are still open. So I say, excuse me. I hate
Speaker 2: to bother you again, could you just move a little
Speaker 2: way from the sensor. They're like, yeah, dude, fine, they're
Speaker 2: annoyed with me. Of course I don't have a coat.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's the Yeah, they're what is it your your
Speaker 2: problem is not their emergency. That that's correct. And then,
Speaker 2: by the way, thank god you left an hour and
Speaker 2: forty early. I mean you said that this was an
Speaker 2: hour an hour situation in five minutes, and you left,
Speaker 2: so you left yourself a good amount of time to
Speaker 2: pad in case situation, a situation like this. I check
Speaker 2: Google Maps again and it says I'm still about ten
Speaker 2: minutes ahead of schedule. Ten minutes of play. Get on
Speaker 2: the train. Oh, what's the problem? Hold on? I get
Speaker 2: on the train. I go to the next stop, two
Speaker 2: stops away for the transfer. I cross the platform, which
Speaker 2: is the first stop of the train I need. It's
Speaker 2: the end line of that train, so it's there. Ready
Speaker 2: to go. Get on the train, get a seat it
Speaker 2: has and I hear I'm all being held in the station.
Speaker 2: Do to traffic ahead. Oh god, twenty minutes. Scary. We
Speaker 2: sit there. Roughly twenty minutes we're sitting at that station.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, I did everything right. I'm
Speaker 2: getting fucked by the universe. I'm getting fucked. So I
Speaker 2: email the guy and I say, hey, man, we'll let
Speaker 2: you know. I have a problem with the trains. I
Speaker 2: may be about ten minutes late. I don't know. So
Speaker 2: the train leaves at twenty minutes, goes into the city
Speaker 2: and I get into the city. Now I have to
Speaker 2: take the L train and take the L train eastbound
Speaker 2: towards Brooklyn. Oh jesus, I'm picturing this route in my head.
Speaker 2: This is not fun, not fun. So I take the
Speaker 2: train and uh, I hear, we're bringing hard on, Paul
Speaker 2: do The train gets stuck in the tunnel. Now it's
Speaker 2: underground between stations. So I send another email, which doesn't
Speaker 2: send because there's no there's no internet in the tunnel.
Speaker 2: But I said him, I said, hey, hey, I'm really sorry.
Speaker 2: I'm having train problems. I left my house at enough time,
Speaker 2: I promise, I said, but I may be like twenty
Speaker 2: minutes late now because of the train problems. I'm like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, it is ridiculous. So finally I get I
Speaker 2: get outside and I'm freezing. I gotta walk nine blocks.
Speaker 2: Now I'm on First Avenue, which goes uptown. So even
Speaker 2: if I catch an uber or a cab. It's going
Speaker 2: in the wrong direction, so I have to walk, so
Speaker 2: I freeze my a I'm going scary. I got there
Speaker 2: at one oh three wow, three minutes late. Yeah, three
Speaker 2: minutes late at I could have been. I could have
Speaker 2: been forty minutes. I thought it was gonna be half
Speaker 2: hour late. So I got that because I ran mostly
Speaker 2: the nine blocks as much as I could in the cold.
Speaker 2: I get there and he says, he says, So the
Speaker 2: woman comes out, his his assistant comes out, and she says,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, he's finishing up a zoom call. He's gonna
Speaker 2: be about fifteen minutes. Okay, perfect, Well better that than
Speaker 2: pulling a Wally World on you where you cancel the
Speaker 2: meeting on you, right. Sorry, after all that he's out today,
Speaker 2: he's out sick, after all that panic and all the
Speaker 2: thing's going wrong. I got there before he was ready
Speaker 2: for me, so he sees me. He comes out, a
Speaker 2: very nice guy, and he says, no coat. So I
Speaker 2: didn't know what to say, Like do I say I
Speaker 2: didn't think it would be cold, which makes me an idiot?
Speaker 2: And if I say I forgot my jacket, it makes
Speaker 2: me look like an idiot. So I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I left it my car. I was hurrying to make
Speaker 2: the trend. I didn't want to be late, so it
Speaker 2: worked out fine, But it was one of those things
Speaker 2: where you have to leave so early because you never
Speaker 2: know how the world is going to fuck you. Well.
Speaker 2: I feel that way when it comes time to catching
Speaker 2: a flight, like in the morning, if I have an
Speaker 2: eleven am flight and I know that it's gonna take
Speaker 2: me twenty minutes to get to the airport, and then
Speaker 2: because I have clear and TSA pre I'm and I'm
Speaker 2: not dropping a bag, maybe it takes maybe get there
Speaker 2: like an hour and a half early. I do all
Speaker 2: the math in my head. But if I'm ready three
Speaker 2: and a half hours before the flight to leave to
Speaker 2: go to the airport, I'll sit there and I'll wait
Speaker 2: for no reason to catch an uber because why would
Speaker 2: I want to spend all this time at the airport.
Speaker 2: So I actually cut it close for no good reason,
Speaker 2: Like I'll sit home and I'll wait wait it out
Speaker 2: because I'd rather wait in my house than at the airport.
Speaker 2: But it's never a good thing because something always gets
Speaker 2: in the way, something delays you. Why not just take
Speaker 2: the time and just you don't have to, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, and relax. So when you get there
Speaker 2: and well, you don't have to rush. You could walk
Speaker 2: around a little bit, go into some of the stores,
Speaker 2: and you know, kill some time there. But yeah, for
Speaker 2: whatever reason, I procrastinate and I'm like, no, I want
Speaker 2: to wait till the very the last minute possible to
Speaker 2: leave because I don't want to get there too early.
Speaker 2: But you know, when it comes to things that have
Speaker 2: like a you know, a hard out, like a like
Speaker 2: a flight departing or a meeting, right, you gotta go.
Speaker 2: You gotta go early. After all that, I had a
Speaker 2: great meeting. Yeah, as I'm leaving now. If you're in Manhattan,
Speaker 2: if you know anything about the New York Subway, Manhattan,
Speaker 2: most of the big the popular trains, and at the
Speaker 2: big stations, the big intersections, when you go down the
Speaker 2: station to the subway, you can go east or west,
Speaker 2: north or south right. If you're getting on the B train,
Speaker 2: you can you can get you can stand on the
Speaker 2: platform and one of them goes uptown, one of them
Speaker 2: goes downtown on the other side of the track. But
Speaker 2: if you go on some of the smaller train lines
Speaker 2: that aren't as popular or you know, or they're in
Speaker 2: different you know, neighborhoods that aren't as busy. When you
Speaker 2: go uptown, you have to go on the right side.
Speaker 2: The east side of the street is that station is
Speaker 2: only uptown, and the west side of the street is
Speaker 2: only downtown. You know what I'm talking about, scars, I
Speaker 2: sure do ye if you go to the down the
Speaker 2: uptown station and you pay, and then you realize I
Speaker 2: wanted to go downtown. Some stations have an underground tunnel
Speaker 2: to the other side, but most of them are like,
Speaker 2: you fucked. You got to go back out and pay
Speaker 2: again again. Right. So on the way home, the L
Speaker 2: train is one of the few trains of all of
Speaker 2: Manhattan that only goes only goes east west. There's the
Speaker 2: reason I'm telling the story. It only goes east west.
Speaker 2: It doesn't go up north and south. So I forgot
Speaker 2: about the up the north the north south thing because
Speaker 2: it's not a north south train. So I get on,
Speaker 2: I go down the subway to go home, and it
Speaker 2: says Brooklyn. I paid. When I get downstairs, it says
Speaker 2: Brooklyn only, meaning not the direction I want to go east.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go east, so I have to
Speaker 2: go back upstairs now across the street to the northern
Speaker 2: side of the street to go west the other direction. Luckily,
Speaker 2: I used my phone to pay, so I showed the
Speaker 2: security guard at the gate. Hey, I just paid two
Speaker 2: seconds ago to go to the wrong direction, and he
Speaker 2: opened the door for me like a nice guy, so
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to pay again. That was very cool.
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's very nice. If you see and people
Speaker 2: say that New Yorkers aren't nice, and they say that
Speaker 2: we're there, we're rude and we're nonxious. And here's where
Speaker 2: the story takes the slight changes. My train comes. I
Speaker 2: get on my train right and I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: platform where I just came on, and the guy who
Speaker 2: let me in walks away for a second to go
Speaker 2: talk to the guy in the token booth. As he does,
Speaker 2: some teenager walks up to the toll booth, puts his
Speaker 2: hands on the toll booth on the on the turnstile,
Speaker 2: and pushes himself up and hops over the turn of
Speaker 2: course and jumps on the train with me. So New
Speaker 2: York is still New York baby, it's the podcast.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 2: I want to thank all the slices who responded on
Speaker 2: X and screenshotted the Brooklyn Boys podcast as the number

Speaker 2: we want to do more steak or whatever. But do
Speaker 2: you have any potential tricks up your sleeve without saying
Speaker 2: too much, because because the slices are getting very antsy,
Speaker 2: you know, they're restless. The natives are restless, and they
Speaker 2: want to They want to do another meet up soon
Speaker 2: and we kind of want to do it around spring
Speaker 2: and summer when the weather breaks.
Speaker 3: You know, are you looking to do it around the
Speaker 3: Tri state area again.
Speaker 2: Or well, what do you think opposed to Alaska?
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, Well you have slices from all over the country,
Speaker 5: so you know some of them the other ones take
Speaker 5: them over there? No, no, why don't Why don't they
Speaker 5: have some type of vote, some type of vote or
Speaker 5: spots here?
Speaker 3: There's there's there's.
Speaker 5: Steakhouses, of course, there's I mean I could name drop
Speaker 5: some some place, but you know, I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I don't want Brody to hit a jingle on me.
Speaker 2: Well that's gonna happen either. Well no, no, no. If
Speaker 2: if you mentioned a client and it's to help us,
Speaker 2: not yourself, you're not You're not scary. So if you
Speaker 2: mentioned a you know, a steakhouse that has a nice
Speaker 2: private room, or or a Talian you know a place,
Speaker 2: or a pizza place like like John's Pizza. They've got
Speaker 2: a private area upstairs where you know, you can hang
Speaker 2: out with the people. So places that have a private
Speaker 2: room makes sense. Doesn't necessarily have to be in Manhattan either,
Speaker 2: it could be in the suburbs. I'm thinking New Jersey.
Speaker 5: I think Jersey would be good too. You guys got
Speaker 5: a bunch of slices over there and people flew in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did some flying, so again that that's difficult
Speaker 2: for Long Island. But we got to pick someplace. So
Speaker 2: wherever we pick gonna be. But are you working on
Speaker 2: something potential for us for the summer or what I
Speaker 2: don't want?
Speaker 3: I had, I had, I did have some conversations. Can
Speaker 3: I say it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want? Oh, is it going to hurt
Speaker 2: the sun? It?
Speaker 3: No? I mean, I I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5: But I was talking to Calandras about potentially doing something,
Speaker 5: and honestly, you just made me think of something for
Speaker 5: They have a hotel too, so that can kind of
Speaker 5: check off a few boxes.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 2: That's pretty wild. And they have they also have a
Speaker 2: big pizza making area to make pizza.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so there's a lot of things.
Speaker 2: And we can do free dessert because they have dessert.
Speaker 2: They have dessert, Oh my god. And and then imagine
Speaker 2: pizza making classes with the slices. That would be great
Speaker 2: and we could be too many people. No, they have
Speaker 2: a big room, right, how many people could make pizza
Speaker 2: at the same time they have Vinnie.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have to speak to the.
Speaker 2: Worth the magic, all right, Well, all right, so that's
Speaker 2: why I wanted to talk to you briefly. We were
Speaker 2: having It's kind of like an on air meeting, but
Speaker 2: we want to show the slices and pull the pull
Speaker 2: the curtain back, you know what I'm saying, and show
Speaker 2: people that we go through. But these are the negotiations,
Speaker 2: These are the these are the baby steps, These are
Speaker 2: the beginning. These are the beginnings of something big. But
Speaker 2: I think a pizza making class with free dessert, some
Speaker 2: sphere dolls and canolis and stuff after I mean, huh,
Speaker 2: sign me up anyway. Yeah, it's a no brainer. Okay,
Speaker 2: So Brody, Brody wanted to talk to you for a second. Yeah, Vinny,
Speaker 2: so uh listen. I I had sort of a reputation
Speaker 2: when I worked there for many things, you know, being
Speaker 2: talented and funny and brilliant, but other things than that,
Speaker 2: I was a big fan, big fan of all of
Speaker 2: the fantastic don't interrupt because you may figure this out,
Speaker 2: of all the fantastic restaurants in the New York, New Jersey,
Speaker 2: Connecticut area. And we had some Philly people come up
Speaker 2: to bringing up some of the best food in the
Speaker 2: area and we would just feast on it. Now Scary
Speaker 2: is a big fan when his food left over of
Speaker 2: calling the other radio stations, come on down, Receptionist, come
Speaker 2: on down, Power one, O five, the Breakfast Club, Charlemagne.
Speaker 3: We got fun.
Speaker 2: And I'm a big fan of going what the fuck
Speaker 2: this is the morning show I work on. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: take someone at home for my family or me, So
Speaker 2: I would take home like a couple of extra boxes
Speaker 2: of autit Choke pizza. I would take home some of
Speaker 2: the the tinfoil trays that have like the the you know,
Speaker 2: the chafing dishes that already have the lids for them
Speaker 2: from calaw Mines. Bring before you proceed, Brody. I would
Speaker 2: have a text message, a mass text to all the
Speaker 2: shows that I'm ready to with with the text message
Speaker 2: already ready food to send out, like, hey, come on
Speaker 2: down for some free grub, that kind of stuff. Now,
Speaker 2: Brody would stop me go, don't don't send the text
Speaker 2: out yet. Let me get my Yeah, let me pack
Speaker 2: up my ship, let me take part in my pocket.
Speaker 2: Let me freaking get my first TIBs right all the
Speaker 2: stations right, other stations they take their food, then they
Speaker 2: call us when they're at So I would like be like, okay,
Speaker 2: there's there's a tray and a half a chicken palm.
Speaker 2: I would take the half a tray and bring it
Speaker 2: home and leave the other tray for everybody else. But
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes there's things you can't take because you
Speaker 2: don't have You can't just put like Italian pastries in nothing.
Speaker 2: You can't put them in your pocket. So yeah, if
Speaker 2: you don't have a box or something, you fucked well.
Speaker 2: I heard or that the Great Vinnie who doesn't work
Speaker 2: on the morning shown Jenny Primetime Vinny Primetime, got a
Speaker 2: text message come for food and showed up with his
Speaker 2: own tupperware storage containers.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I can explain that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, before you explain that, hold on before,
Speaker 2: hold on, before you explain that. I want to say,
Speaker 2: hail to the new king. The king is dead. Long
Speaker 2: live the King. Because you have taken what I did
Speaker 2: to another level where you brought your own you pre
Speaker 2: planned your own story. I'm surprised you didn't have ice
Speaker 2: packs and a thermal bag ready to go, and and
Speaker 2: and plastic sports and napkin packages to take home. You, sir,
Speaker 2: are on a new level. You wouldn't have gotten away
Speaker 2: with that ship when I worn. Now that I'm gone,
Speaker 2: don't free and clear. I think we should call hi
Speaker 2: Vinny Tupperware. But Vinnie, tell him, tell the rest of
Speaker 2: the there's a plot, twist's coming.
Speaker 5: Tell him, well, there was there was nothing left first
Speaker 5: of all, so that was the main thing. And I
Speaker 5: how how how much later did I come up after
Speaker 5: you texted me?
Speaker 3: It was it was I don't even.
Speaker 2: Think of it, twenty minutes.
Speaker 7: It was first of all, so he said, he said,
Speaker 7: this team was here, right, So it was this Italian restaurant.
Speaker 7: And I'm thinking, holy ship, there's probably like stacks of
Speaker 7: chicken parm stacks of this, stacks of that, and there
Speaker 7: was like.
Speaker 2: There were there were two trays of spicy rig and
Speaker 2: two trays of chicken parm and and the caesar salad
Speaker 2: and on a box and holies. But when we start,
Speaker 2: when we the morning show picked at it, there was
Speaker 2: there was still three quarters of everything left. Then I
Speaker 2: texted you and we were on the air talking for
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes. So we don't know what the fuck's
Speaker 2: going on outside our doors because the food's in the hallway.
Speaker 2: So that ship was so so, as far as I know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of food left. I texted Vinie, what
Speaker 2: happened Vinnie? Twenty minutes? Twenty minutes he shows up with
Speaker 2: his tuberware?
Speaker 3: Okay? And I came up with the tubbleware because it
Speaker 3: was like eight am.
Speaker 2: Did you come up with it? What did you come
Speaker 2: up with? Spell at spell at see you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, hold on, you are guilty of what's his name?
Speaker 2: The comedian? Oh uh? He got him on the podcast?
Speaker 4: Uh uh?
Speaker 2: He had oh Sal Sal and sal Volcano Volcano was
Speaker 2: on the podcast with christ the Stefano and South said tumberware, tupperware,
Speaker 2: tupper it's tupper with two peas, Yes, tupperware. Look at
Speaker 2: that all right, you know he did the same thing tupperware. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you came in tupperware, ditty container store, grabbed this tupperware.
Speaker 7: Listen, it's eight it's eight am. I wasn't ready to
Speaker 7: eat the chicken palm, the pasta that was that was there,
Speaker 7: so fair enough. I was preparing to have some lunch
Speaker 7: for later on. And that's why I brought the tupperware
Speaker 7: with me.
Speaker 3: It wasn't to take it hold. It wasn't to feed
Speaker 3: my family.
Speaker 2: Containers. You're ready to go.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I get that he eats at twelve o'clock.
Speaker 2: He's a normal person. He's noth I get it. I
Speaker 2: just loved that he came running with the tumperware. Well, anyway,
Speaker 2: there was nothing left because the savages. Someone someone leaked
Speaker 2: the fact that we had this crazy Italian restaurant up,
Speaker 2: and they came when they ravaged the place. I think
Speaker 2: because one of the actual tins were missing. I think
Speaker 2: someone literally full on took a tin and carried it
Speaker 2: down the hallway. I mean, that's balls. But I'd like
Speaker 2: to say I don't have access to the building anymore,
Speaker 2: So it wasn't me.
Speaker 3: It was I was just gonna say that sounds like
Speaker 3: something Brody would do.
Speaker 2: That is absolutely something I would have done. Take the
Speaker 2: whole tin, Hit the whole fucking tin. But so there
Speaker 2: were tins missing, so somebody somewhere literally lifted that and
Speaker 2: and fled with it. I can't believe it. But anyway,
Speaker 2: Vinnie's Gary, who do you think it was scary? I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna I'm not pointing fingers. Okay, which station? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's not going down there. Sorry, Brody, you think you
Speaker 2: don't think you know? You think it was the hip
Speaker 2: hop station, don't you? Well, only because they have that,
Speaker 2: they have no racist They have the back hallway path
Speaker 2: to us, you know what I'm saying. They don't have
Speaker 2: to go like if it's the other radio stations they go,
Speaker 2: they go past us that hallway that we could see
Speaker 2: out with the through the glass, so we could see
Speaker 2: who's coming down that hallway, but there's a back hallway
Speaker 2: that when if you want to be devious, you can
Speaker 2: be unannounced and be unobtrusive about coming to take food
Speaker 2: because we don't see you. So you go there on
Speaker 2: the back hallway. You could take the food and then
Speaker 2: sneak back around and okay, so just on the record show,
Speaker 2: it was scary called the devious black people the people
Speaker 2: want most to stall. No, no, no, no, Vinnie, you
Speaker 2: heard that, not telling you. I'm not saying anybody. Don't
Speaker 2: put words in my mouth broke. You just said it
Speaker 2: had in the pump station. And no, it could have
Speaker 2: been anyone. It could have been Cobby coming from the
Speaker 2: light station. He might have gone gone down the back hallway.
Speaker 2: When you say, like, do you mean complexion? What are
Speaker 2: we talking about? I don't like the way you're saying dick.
Speaker 2: But anyway, poor Vinnie, I just wanted to give you
Speaker 2: props for bringing tump aware uh to get to grab
Speaker 2: some food. You came up empty handed though. Sorry, Now,
Speaker 2: why was the tump aware in the building? Was the
Speaker 2: tumpware in the building on the off chance that it
Speaker 2: be food someday?
Speaker 3: You know what, I actually think I took someone else's stuff.
Speaker 3: It wasn't mine. I went and I found so.
Speaker 2: You can steal the food for the morning show.
Speaker 3: Basically, yeah, that's what it came down to. No one's
Speaker 3: going to miss that.
Speaker 2: Nah, that's all good. But I'm sorry you didn't get
Speaker 2: any I gotta say listen. I'm not doing carbs right now.
Speaker 2: But the spicy rig looked amazing. Everyone was raving about it.
Speaker 2: And the same thing with the chicken palm man O me.
Speaker 2: When did spicy rigged Tony become spicy rig. It's a thing,
Speaker 2: spicy rig. Look it up, rig, look it up?
Speaker 7: All right, It's all right, I'll uh, I'll leave on wait,
