Speaker 1: Start up up, Brooklyn Buy start up, Brooklyn buys data.
Speaker 1: They make a noise data up Episode one O two
Speaker 1: It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Will dedicate this one to
Speaker 1: Q one two Philadelphia representing I don't get there enough.
Speaker 1: It's only an hour in ten minutes on the Acela
Speaker 1: train from New York City to thirty Street station in Philly.
Speaker 1: And you think that I would make more of an
Speaker 1: effort to go on any random weekday or weekend. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, I spend more time in
Speaker 1: my car driving to Long Island then I would take
Speaker 1: me to get to Philly from Manhattan. True story. But whatever, Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a lot to see there. I have Philly fans
Speaker 1: represent where the Brooklyn Philly fans, Brooklyn Boy Philly fans
Speaker 1: come on out. I have a definite complaint regarding not Philly,
Speaker 1: but Philly cheese steaks. Well terr. Right now, I want
Speaker 1: to get the name of the food truck. I got
Speaker 1: a bone to pick. Oh I don't have. It's not
Speaker 1: it's not the Big Four, is it? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: no no, no. Let's see what are they gyms on
Speaker 1: South Street? Not one of them? Not Pats. It's not
Speaker 1: Geno's and then there's um Tony Luke's. No it's not.
Speaker 1: There's a couple that are right there in the in
Speaker 1: the No, there's a cheese steak South Philly not so
Speaker 1: great that that I don't don't get as much love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not about Philly, just it's about cheese steaks in general.
Speaker 1: So I was a comic con a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and they have when you go underground, there's like a
Speaker 1: parking area and it's all food trucks, big one of
Speaker 1: food trucks, and there's a cheese steak food truck. When
Speaker 1: I go, I'll go to that. I got a cheese
Speaker 1: steak mhm. And that you could see into the truck.
Speaker 1: In the back of the guys working in the truck.
Speaker 1: There are loaves of bread, your typical ten ten Italian breads.
Speaker 1: Some pem Grinder's song. But as we're from Brooklyn there
Speaker 1: he called heroes a chicken palm hero. If you order
Speaker 1: a hero someplace to go, I mean a sandwich, okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: all that. So I want a Philly cheese steaks. I
Speaker 1: order Philly cheese steak, you know, just cheese and meat,
Speaker 1: no onions and I get the thing, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show you a picture scary because you're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: what the It was basically chopped meat in a fucking
Speaker 1: hot dog bun. That's that is paltry, to say the least.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put a picture up on at David
Speaker 1: Brody on Instagram. You call that, you call that a
Speaker 1: cheese steak, and it's not much longer than my thumb.
Speaker 1: And so it's basically like you know, when you go
Speaker 1: to a baseball game they charge you nine dollars for
Speaker 1: a beer. I'm pretty sure they had events sized bread
Speaker 1: like they went to Comic Con, because they wouldn't be
Speaker 1: in business if they sold five inch long Philly cheese
Speaker 1: steak sandwiches. And it was like four a subway it
Speaker 1: was a six inch sub Yeah, no, it was so
Speaker 1: so f you to the food truck and I'm looking
Speaker 1: for a picture. I didn't take a picture of it.
Speaker 1: How thought you was at nine bucks? Yeah? Let me
Speaker 1: see if I have U dollars. You got robbed. I
Speaker 1: know you got grape soded. I know I got well.
Speaker 1: I did not steal the grape soda, but um so
Speaker 1: I want to just say, F you food truck at
Speaker 1: Jacob Javits Center, your fourteen dollar hot dog bun cheese steak. Well,
Speaker 1: they do that at all the events. They always they
Speaker 1: do like a special size for the event, just so
Speaker 1: they can take off because no one's expecting, like a
Speaker 1: real cheese steak. Oh Phil's steak, Phil's Phil. What a
Speaker 1: rip they did there. It's like supposed to He's supposed
Speaker 1: to like think it's Phillies, Phillies, or that they fill
Speaker 1: you know they did they filled up a hot dog
Speaker 1: bun with chopped up meat. Yeah, so Phil and your
Speaker 1: event bread fourteen I want I want Phil Phil's truck
Speaker 1: to apologize and admit what you did. You probably charged
Speaker 1: nine dollars for a real film, hoping that people are
Speaker 1: half buzzed or whatever, and they're like looking at the
Speaker 1: sign and say, oh, Philly's cheese steak, but you know
Speaker 1: they glance at it. Yeah, but it's Phil's cheese steaks.
Speaker 1: Speaking of comic Con, now, if you work at comic Con,
Speaker 1: if you have a booth, you should know comic books, right,
Speaker 1: you should know science fiction. You should have somebody how
Speaker 1: it started. That's the whole whole thing started that way.
Speaker 1: But comic con is so much more these days, I know,
Speaker 1: but there was a not just about comics. So my
Speaker 1: daughter and I are at one of the booths and
Speaker 1: they sell superhero pins and T shirts and some other
Speaker 1: like the miscellaneous scrap. And so this guy is dressed
Speaker 1: like Kingpin, who's a villain from Daredevil. It's also a movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: uh different, not this is the anyway. It's a cartoon
Speaker 1: comic book villain. And so what Kingpin looks like. He
Speaker 1: is a very heavy set man with a white suit,
Speaker 1: walks with a cane like a gold cane, like jeweled cane,
Speaker 1: and a fancy game. And he's bald, right, this guy
Speaker 1: looked like Kingpin. One of the cause played people shopping
Speaker 1: and the guy who works there goes, hey, what's up
Speaker 1: Lex Luthor? Now Lex Luthor is a thin, bald guy
Speaker 1: who's a superman villain from d C Comics. Got the
Speaker 1: comic company wrong because Kingpin's Marvelie. He just saw a
Speaker 1: bald guy. He's like, what's up Lex Luthor. So the
Speaker 1: guy's like, hey, man, I'm Kingpin. It wasn't like he
Speaker 1: was a thin king pickle starting a war like a
Speaker 1: brawl in the in the comic it's like you fucking
Speaker 1: called me a d C comic character. I'm Marvel, motherfucker.
Speaker 1: But it's like if you saw a guy dressed in
Speaker 1: a Star Wars outfit, you're like, oh, and a Star
Speaker 1: track really nice? You get punched. So you can't work
Speaker 1: a comic con and not know the difference between Kingpin
Speaker 1: and Lex Luthor. I gotta be honest. I sometimes get
Speaker 1: as the fair weather fan, the everyday Joe, but I
Speaker 1: get my I get my DC universe mixed up sometimes
Speaker 1: with Marvel comics. I know Batman is DC, and I
Speaker 1: know that Superman is d C, and all the rest
Speaker 1: of the good ones are Marvel. That's it's about, right.
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman is who Marvel? Nope? DC? I guess you
Speaker 1: didn't see Justice League. Well you didn't watch Super Friends
Speaker 1: as a kid, No, I didn't. One more thing Wolverine Marvel.
Speaker 1: That's correct. Now, one more complaining about Marvel. That's right.
Speaker 1: One more thing a complain about comic con. This is
Speaker 1: not a costume unless you put effort into it. Now,
Speaker 1: if you saw explain to people, do you have to
Speaker 1: even dress up if you go to comic con? You
Speaker 1: don't have to even it's a huge. You need to
Speaker 1: put even in that sentence. Um, it's a huge festival
Speaker 1: from city to city. Uh goes to San Francisco, goes
Speaker 1: major cities. Yes, it doesn't go to Oklahoma City. Okay,
Speaker 1: talk to me. Okay, so you don't have to dress up.
Speaker 1: But if you're going and you want to dress up,
Speaker 1: people put a lot of effort into their their outfits.
Speaker 1: They're they're cost but you're not penalized if you don't know.
Speaker 1: So if you saw Avengers Endgame no spoilers, four puts
Speaker 1: on some weight, okay, fat thour, he sort of gives
Speaker 1: up on life, and so they find them in the
Speaker 1: house wearing like um plaid pajama bottoms and uh like
Speaker 1: gloves with no fingers and no shirt. And he's just
Speaker 1: kind of sitting around being fat, drinking beer. So every
Speaker 1: guy with a fat stomach when his fat, you know,
Speaker 1: I like that, right, But there were a couple of
Speaker 1: guys who actually got like the replica of pants, the
Speaker 1: replica gloves, had long blonde hair wigs or they had
Speaker 1: their own real hair. But there were just some guys
Speaker 1: who just wearing just like pajama bottoms that weren't the
Speaker 1: ones thow war, and you know they were just fat.
Speaker 1: That's not a costume. You're like, you're just fat, guy,
Speaker 1: You're not fat. Full are your faces in Chris Hemsworth's
Speaker 1: face and you have to wear long hair, you have
Speaker 1: to have a wig, and they were just being fat
Speaker 1: thor that's not a costume. You understand. I'm saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like if you okay, it's okay, it's okay, not
Speaker 1: getting political, don't tweet me. But if you just have
Speaker 1: a crazy calmb over, you're not the president. You gotta
Speaker 1: put a suit on, spray tan yourself, arrange that, have
Speaker 1: the swirl, right, I said, oh, I have a calm over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you gotta put an effort into it. We're gonna
Speaker 1: see a lot of a lot of this on Halloween.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everyone's gonna be the joker. Don't be the joker.
Speaker 1: That was my thing. The joker unless you are so good,
Speaker 1: unless you have the real suit and like professional makeup,
Speaker 1: you got the laugh down. But otherwise, like I need
Speaker 1: a joker again, a lot of jokers, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: be bad jokers. But like a white mask, you're gonna

Speaker 1: It was Wednesday, and we went. We did on podcast Thursday, right, okay,
Speaker 1: but we didn't talk about how you and I went
Speaker 1: again Friday. And Friday night I went to Burger Bash,
Speaker 1: which is just BA. This is no longer a client
Speaker 1: and they were never a client of arts. Not a sponsor, right,
Speaker 1: not a sponsor went to Burger Bash, and you on
Speaker 1: Saturday night went to the type Titans of Barbecue, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I would have traded you. I would
Speaker 1: have went Saturday night. That was awesome. The only complaint
Speaker 1: I have is it said Titans a barbecue and it
Speaker 1: was said uh, hosted by, sponsored by, produced by whatever
Speaker 1: it was. Pat la Frieda someone I don't remember and
Speaker 1: Michael Simon. Pat La Frieda, if you don't know, is
Speaker 1: a legend in meats in New York, New York, a
Speaker 1: legend of steaks and meats. In the same way Schwide
Speaker 1: Brothers are down in Miami, South Florida. Anyone has a
Speaker 1: regional meeting and Michael Simon is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: celebrity chefs. I've never met him, but I love him
Speaker 1: on television. I love the way he cooks, I love
Speaker 1: the way is himself. I love him. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is great. These three guys are gonna be there,
Speaker 1: added bonus. Yeah, none of them were there. It was
Speaker 1: one of those produced by but they didn't show up.
Speaker 1: They weren't there. Oh no, No, Michael Simon's name was
Speaker 1: all over the ticket. Yeah, oh yeah, No, No, he
Speaker 1: wasn't there though. It was like he helped pick the restaurants,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't there. I was disappointed. It made it
Speaker 1: look his picture was on the logo, so not to
Speaker 1: find fault, were confirmed that he wasn't there. Be Yes,
Speaker 1: I was there the whole time. He was not there.
Speaker 1: But it's a big place, Brodie, there's a huge you
Speaker 1: don't You don't think he would have been on stage
Speaker 1: when they made the announcements. Hey I'm Michael Simon's bat
Speaker 1: Lafreda and the other person. Hey thanks for coming out tonight. No,
Speaker 1: I asked people he wasn't there. So I'm a little disappointed,
Speaker 1: like to meet Michael Simon, but Titans a barbecue. They
Speaker 1: were like forty barbecue joints from the Tristate area. And
Speaker 1: some of them were serving like here's a cracker with
Speaker 1: a piece of meat. But most of them were like
Speaker 1: Bronto Saurus burgers from the Flintstones, big slabs. Now, there
Speaker 1: was one place I looked on the menu, they don't
Speaker 1: serve the thing that they gave out that night. It
Speaker 1: was a I want to say, Korean glazed slab of
Speaker 1: short rib. Speak to me. That was maybe the greatest
Speaker 1: piece of meat I've ever eaten. It was um and
Speaker 1: I took a picture in the sign of the place.
Speaker 1: I have to call them now and ask him if
Speaker 1: they'll make that for me. But they were a giant
Speaker 1: Colma Hawks steaks, Yeah, those are the those are the great.
Speaker 1: And then there was other booths that were just yeah,
Speaker 1: there were places with great names. But then the food
Speaker 1: was what would they give you? Like? What do they yeah,
Speaker 1: like a little goos, a little blue cracker, having like
Speaker 1: like dinner prodies. I listen, when I served dinner, I
Speaker 1: put out I put out a plat on my friend. Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you about the controversy at Burger Bash.
Speaker 1: What was the controversy. There's uh. At the end of
Speaker 1: the night, they vote on the best burger. Everybody who
Speaker 1: enters Burger Bash, and the must have been over a
Speaker 1: thousand people there, they get a wooden chip. You get
Speaker 1: one chip. It's up to the listeners or the eaters,
Speaker 1: the people walking around to put your chip into the booth.
Speaker 1: The booths ballot box with the best burger, And at
Speaker 1: the end of the night they collect all the boxes
Speaker 1: and whichever box has the most chips, that's the burger
Speaker 1: that wins the People's Choice award. All right, well, pig Barbecue,
Speaker 1: our pig Beach in Brooklyn. One Pig Beach won the
Speaker 1: best burger for the People's Choice. Not a problem when
Speaker 1: they had the most chips in their box. However, there
Speaker 1: were also five judges on stage that were sampling every
Speaker 1: burger from every booth, and there had to be the
Speaker 1: critics pick which is the one that gets ultimately gets
Speaker 1: the trophy. So the trophy goes to the critics pick Brodie.
Speaker 1: Do you know what the name of the place was
Speaker 1: that won the best burger in Burger Bash for the
Speaker 1: critics pick I'm gonna say no, San Mateo Pizzeria. What
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like a burger place exactly. Apparently, if
Speaker 1: you make burgers, you can enter this Burger Bash and
Speaker 1: you're qualified. So if you have a booth there, like
Speaker 1: Shake Shock could have entered five Napkin burg Those burger
Speaker 1: people that donate dedicated their lives to making burger Burger Burger.
Speaker 1: But then San Mateo Coucina, it's called Sanmoteo Coccina, Sanmotheo
Speaker 1: pizzeria known for their pizza, they also happened to make
Speaker 1: a burger in their pizzeria and they came to Burger
Speaker 1: Bash and they fucking won. Well. Critics pick, there's a
Speaker 1: steakhouse chain which is okay, I don't listen. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you it was good. Okay, looks good. There's a
Speaker 1: steakhouse chain in New York. It's all over the country,
Speaker 1: but started in New York called the Bomb. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I talked about this on this podcast you did,
Speaker 1: But there there there steak place. But if try the
Speaker 1: Chicken Palm, it's outrageously good, but you would know that
Speaker 1: because it's steak place, so you never know. The same
Speaker 1: goes for Joe Stone Crabs in South Florida. You go
Speaker 1: there for the Stone Crab. Stone Crab season is happening
Speaker 1: right now, just opened up like last week. Not a sponsor,
Speaker 1: but they can send mebe to some stone Crab. That
Speaker 1: will take some clause. But you go there and there
Speaker 1: fried chicken is the secret menu it and that is
Speaker 1: outrageous and some say are better than the clause. Some
Speaker 1: people go just for the fried chicken and Joe's. If
Speaker 1: you're living in South Florida and you know Joe Stone Crab,
Speaker 1: go get the stone Crabs, but also split an entree
Speaker 1: of the fried chicken. You will not regret it. It is.
Speaker 1: It is a thing. It is a thing, all right,
Speaker 1: just saying all right, I'm hungry now I'm not hungry yet.
Speaker 1: Who brought that candy in that melted? The Simpsons TV show, Oh,
Speaker 1: the Treehouse of Terror ends up every year. They send
Speaker 1: up a different promo box for for is this number
Speaker 1: forty six the season the Simpsons Treehouse of Terror number
Speaker 1: they started? So it's but but yeah, but I noticed
Speaker 1: all the chocolates melted, and then they gave us some
Speaker 1: of the some of that candy, which I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I just didn't grow up with it, like like pay
Speaker 1: Day and oh the third tier chocolates and ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollar grand bars. What is it called it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is that like a thing for you growing up? Because
Speaker 1: it wasn't for me. Those were like, those were niche
Speaker 1: chocolate bars. Those are third I call him third tier,
Speaker 1: Like they're not your Hershey Bar, You're you're Snickers, They're
Speaker 1: not your Chunky or your Three Musketeers. They're like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'll give you another another one that fits
Speaker 1: in that third tier. Clark Bars, Clark Clark. And first
Speaker 1: of all, the name Clark, I don't doesn't make me hungry.
Speaker 1: But you have a Clark Bar if you go to Philly, though,
Speaker 1: they're all about their Charleston chew or that. What is
Speaker 1: it the really you should know this. You just said
Speaker 1: they're all about no, no no, no, no, no, the Charleston
Speaker 1: Chew knockoff. There's a knockoff. It's it's a red and
Speaker 1: a blue, a red bar in a blue bar. One
Speaker 1: is the milk chocolate, one is the dark chocolate. It's
Speaker 1: very chewy. Oh oh oh, don't tweet me, Brood, he's
Speaker 1: already looking it up. Anyway. What I'm saying is what
Speaker 1: could be third tier where we're from in the Northeast
Speaker 1: could be like, yeah, man, I grew up on nothing
Speaker 1: but Clark Bars. They were like a thing. Are you
Speaker 1: what are you googling? Um? What what you do? The
Speaker 1: words you strung together? Philly, Philadelphia, Charleston chew, knockoff? What
Speaker 1: is it? And then and you're gonna be like that

Speaker 1: like a thing. It's like, oh yeah, they have them
Speaker 1: at every counter there in bite size, econo size, family size.
Speaker 1: You know, Oh my god, I can't believe I don't

Speaker 1: think you may want people to tweet you. Maybe I do.
Speaker 1: Uh now it's just Charles, I got Charleston chew. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then what's the other one? I don't a variety
Speaker 1: pack Charleston chew? Oh my god? Right now, people, by
Speaker 1: the way, remember that thing I read like twenty episodes ago.

Speaker 1: at about this. There are seventeen people from Philly right
Speaker 1: now screaming what it is and we don't Why would
Speaker 1: you do this? Why would you peanut choose? Yes, that's it? Okay,

Speaker 1: Goldbergs peanut. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: the red and the blue Goldberg's peanut choose. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it right now. So what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: those weren't big in Brooklyn. No, well, neither is potato
Speaker 1: chips huge down of Philly uts didn't even exist in
Speaker 1: this area until like a couple of years ago. And
Speaker 1: hers h E R R s m hm. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of regional things. That's talking about Northeast stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: people are listening to this right now in Montana talking
Speaker 1: about candy that they grew up with and chips. But seriously,

Speaker 1: dr pepper. Mr Pip is a southern regional soda and
Speaker 1: a candy bar that was only available like when I
Speaker 1: would go into like a truck stop, right, and so

Speaker 1: at the history of all the Hershey's candies, like they
Speaker 1: bought Reese's pieces, right, they didn't invent. They bought Reese
Speaker 1: the whole Reese's company. At one time, these were all
Speaker 1: individual companies fighting for your dollar. A lot of them.

Speaker 1: Reese's PCs. It's it's pieces made by Reese. They were
Speaker 1: Reese's pieces. I don't want to get into that post.
Speaker 1: Yes that was a person. Yeah, speaking of background, because
Speaker 1: we're talking about the background of chocolate bars. Dumbest conversation
Speaker 1: I had. My wife says to me, hey, that that
Speaker 1: justin justin Bieber ed Shearing song the I don't care,
Speaker 1: he says, what's the background on that song? So funny
Speaker 1: you should ask me. We're just talking to a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. We're just talking about that. So ed
Speaker 1: sheer and wrote the song and it's about him and
Speaker 1: his wife and how he doesn't like going places. He
Speaker 1: doesn't like going to me, Unlessia Carr here, same song,
Speaker 1: unless your car here. It's it's an about an introvert
Speaker 1: at a party and they don't want to be there, right,
Speaker 1: and so he wrote this song. I'm telling my wife
Speaker 1: that he wrote this song about his wife and he
Speaker 1: and they go to parties and he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be there, and that justin Bieber feels the same way.
Speaker 1: It doesn't like going to these events. And so they
Speaker 1: get this whole thing. I going for like four minutes,
Speaker 1: and she says, no, the background music. It sounds like
Speaker 1: they're sampling another song. I go, why didn't you stop me?
Speaker 1: He was, you were on a roll. So she didn't
Speaker 1: want the ground behind the writing of the song. She
Speaker 1: meant the instrumental, the bed, the track. She wanted to
Speaker 1: know what that was. It sounded like another song. She
Speaker 1: thought there was a sample very well, But I go,
Speaker 1: why didn't you just ask me what she was? I did?
Speaker 1: I asked you what the background was, but she meant
Speaker 1: the background music. And I went this whole story with her,
Speaker 1: and my daughter's looking at me, like, why are you
Speaker 1: explaining that to mom? But nobody stopped me. Nobody said
Speaker 1: but because they're sick of arguing with you. I be like,
Speaker 1: just let this guy go, Just let him go. All
Speaker 1: they had to say was we want to know about
Speaker 1: the music. And I'm like, oh, okay, when you're on
Speaker 1: a roll. I was on a roll. Oh if I
Speaker 1: got shipped to talk about uh put elevata buttons, I

Speaker 1: forwards episode one or two. Well, you're in episode one
Speaker 1: or two. The congratulations. But yeah, if we want on
Speaker 1: the flow chart, we can request another flow chart. Okay,
Speaker 1: but we have to have an interesting podcast first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one isn't it feel about where you're gonna be
Speaker 1: making appearance that is not listen? That is, by the way,
Speaker 1: that is part that is part of the culture of
Speaker 1: being a Slice for Life, That is trying to follow
Speaker 1: us around places and and hanging out with us when
Speaker 1: we're in public. Why would you not want Slices to
Speaker 1: come hang with one of the Brooklyn boys? Why would
Speaker 1: you not want that program? Right? Can? I can? I? Can?
Speaker 1: I do one more story about the food festival? One
Speaker 1: most okay? This is do you have the snowflake jingle? I? Okay?
Speaker 1: This one is beyond anything I could have imagined. I
Speaker 1: don't know where it came from, Okay, I just okay.
Speaker 1: So Scary and I went to the Food Festival last
Speaker 1: Wednesday and one of the booths there was Village Square Pizza.
Speaker 1: Village Square Pizza, excellent pizza. Try the pepperoni when you're there.
Speaker 1: And they saw us like, hey, boys, come back here
Speaker 1: and help make the pizza or just hang out with us.
Speaker 1: So they invite me and Scary to go behind the
Speaker 1: booth and where you could see the video on at
Speaker 1: Elvis Durrand show. We went back there, we held the
Speaker 1: pizza boxes, we played with dispatulas whatever, and that we
Speaker 1: didn't do any harren like goofballs. Right, So I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say her name. I don't know her name, but
Speaker 1: her account starts with dress. You look up the rest
Speaker 1: of it if you want. All right, she writes, Now
Speaker 1: you and I are both in the video. All we're
Speaker 1: doing is joking around with the guys who worked there.
Speaker 1: Tell him to stop being so cheap. That's what she wrote,
Speaker 1: being Brody you, I don't know who. Well, neither one
Speaker 1: of us was being cheap, but you're generally cheap, so
Speaker 1: I'm not generally cheap, but I'm frugal. Or they talking
Speaker 1: to the pizza maker that was giving out small slices,
Speaker 1: So I don't know who she's talking. So I write
Speaker 1: at dress whatever who question mark? Right, she wrote, tell
Speaker 1: him to stop being so cheap? And I wrote who,
Speaker 1: so I can explain if she's upset, I could explain
Speaker 1: maybe what she's wrong about. She writes back at David
Speaker 1: Brody O MG, which I'm surprised when you hear the
Speaker 1: rest of it that she knows what O MG is
Speaker 1: o MG exclamation point. I'm a sixty three old woman
Speaker 1: who was entitled to her opinion. No, I do not
Speaker 1: have a lot of followers because I have this account
Speaker 1: to follow the Elvisto Rand Show employees. This is a
Speaker 1: strange way to refer to us as but okay, and
Speaker 1: people who own Burnet's Mountain Dogs and food sites? Is
Speaker 1: this really all you have to do? That's what she writes,
Speaker 1: now again, I'm gonna refresh, I wrote, She wrote, tell
Speaker 1: him to stop being so just in case, and I wrote,
Speaker 1: I feel like you're driving off a cliff. I wrote,
Speaker 1: who question mark? Oh mg, I'm a sixty three old
Speaker 1: woman who was entitled to our opinion. No, I do
Speaker 1: not have a lot of followers because I have this
Speaker 1: account to follow the Elvisto Rand Show employees and people
Speaker 1: who follow Bernet's Mountain Dogs. First of all, is that
Speaker 1: a thing? Okay? And food sites? Is this really all
Speaker 1: you have to do? Like I'm a troll, I don't
Speaker 1: like I just so then it's okay. So I didn't
Speaker 1: see it right away because I have a life, she
Speaker 1: writes David Brody, question Mark five minutes later, David Brodie
Speaker 1: question mark at David Brodie five minutes later, So what's up?
Speaker 1: So she does it now? Instagram works. I don't need
Speaker 1: to see three times that you're asking for me, So
Speaker 1: I wrote problem. So I wrote, okay, I'm not sure how.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you understand how Instagram works. I asked
Speaker 1: a simple question because I didn't know what you wanted
Speaker 1: to know. But asking over and over and over again
Speaker 1: for me is kind of ridiculous. You made a post
Speaker 1: on a post I'm tagged in, so I get an alert.
Speaker 1: You really need to know how Instagram works. Not trying
Speaker 1: to be rude, but you made a comment, and since
Speaker 1: I'm in the video, I wasn't sure if you're referring
Speaker 1: to me or scary by the way, I voice texted
Speaker 1: and it says scary. I apologized and okay, and if so,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you mean. Since there was no
Speaker 1: price for the food, it was all included in the
Speaker 1: entry fee, which we did pay. We were there as hosts,
Speaker 1: so no one was being cheap. I was trying to
Speaker 1: answer your question, or at least give you feedback. I
Speaker 1: never said you couldn't have an opinion I simply asked
Speaker 1: who with a question mark? Not sure where the confusion
Speaker 1: comes in. So she writes back to me, the who
Speaker 1: were the question mark came off as who are you
Speaker 1: to say anything? You have no followers and a nothing account,
Speaker 1: And then she writes, it was not in reference to you,
Speaker 1: so that means you are being cheap? Who was being cheap?
Speaker 1: I wasn't being cheap, so I wrote. If that's what
Speaker 1: it meant, then I would have typed that. In other words,
Speaker 1: if I wanted to say, who the hell are you?
Speaker 1: You know me, I would have said, who hell are you?
Speaker 1: You said, Cal stopped tangled in this fucking you said
Speaker 1: tell him to stop being cheap, So I wrote with
Speaker 1: a I said, with as your mark, who nothing more,
Speaker 1: nothing less? You implied, I don't know who you want
Speaker 1: to be told to stop being cheap? So if it
Speaker 1: wasn't me, it had to be you. What were you
Speaker 1: doing to be cheap? I wasn't doing anything. I was
Speaker 1: appearing in a video behind a counter at the fucking
Speaker 1: New York City of Food Festival. Let's see, is there
Speaker 1: any sound he gave you a slice of pizza? I
Speaker 1: think he was talking about the pizza guy because it
Speaker 1: was small. She thinks that we didn't wait online and
Speaker 1: pay for the pizza and then we went back and
Speaker 1: got free pizza. That's what she thinks. And she wants someone,
Speaker 1: not doesn't say who, she wants someone to tell you
Speaker 1: to stop being cheap. So, first of all, fuck you,
Speaker 1: scary because you thought it was me. Second of all,
Speaker 1: this woman not only is off a rocker, obviously doesn't
Speaker 1: realize I'm in the video or that I'm on the show,
Speaker 1: because she attacked me and told me she only uses
Speaker 1: Instagram to talk to the Elvistrain employees, of which news flash,
Speaker 1: I am one. So I'm not going to give the
Speaker 1: dress lady and the burnets Mountain Dog lady at f you,
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking something similar. But she's a listener, so
Speaker 1: I gotta give her the benefit of the doubt. Outside
Speaker 1: and some of these list some of these listeners, some
Speaker 1: of them. That was a long walk in the park, Brodie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: walk in the park coming up. Uh, not necessarily this podcast,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be held accountable. I got
Speaker 1: a hospital situation and unrelated a blood work situation. A
Speaker 1: blood okay, so I got some stuck just uh, had
Speaker 1: a rough week and by the way, reading did it?
Speaker 1: Did we talk about the reviews some of the reviews
Speaker 1: on iTunes. We'll do that coming up next. All right,
Speaker 1: read some of them, Brodie read some of them. I
Speaker 1: want to hear it well. One of them said, I
Speaker 1: really enjoy the podcast, and I like Brodie's rants. But
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that anyone has that
Speaker 1: many issues in life. I think some of them are
Speaker 1: made up. I don't think they're made up. I think
Speaker 1: that you really have these issues, absolutely I do. But
Speaker 1: you have larger issues than just the ones that you
Speaker 1: write about. I don't have larger issues. Just happened to
Speaker 1: bad luck you have. Behind the scenes, I noticed things
Speaker 1: if if if listen, I write them down between me
Speaker 1: and you. I noticed things too, but I just let
Speaker 1: it roll off my shoulder. That's why you let it, Harbor. Okay,
Speaker 1: how would you handle this? I had I had to
Speaker 1: meet I had to meet a friend of mine the hospital. Okay,
Speaker 1: they had to go for some some minor tests. I
Speaker 1: think everything's gonna be fine, but so my friends just
Speaker 1: meet me at the hospital. All right, this way, And
Speaker 1: I said, I'll drive you home because it was in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: And I said, I'll go uptown, meet the hospital, and
Speaker 1: I'll drive you home. Not a problem, Okay. Guy lives
Speaker 1: not far from me where I live. Okay, So I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm I go in the building, and outside the elevator
Speaker 1: bank is two bathroom doors. Okay, two bathroom doors. I
Speaker 1: got a p I took a train all the way
Speaker 1: up town, and I'm gonna take a train back to
Speaker 1: my car until like I'm gonna drive somebody to take
Speaker 1: a train. Okay, I took a train up town and
Speaker 1: I had to take a P. So outside the bathroom
Speaker 1: is a guy, maybe late sixties with a wheelchair. Not
Speaker 1: in the wheelchair, the wheelchairs next to him, so obviously
Speaker 1: he's with somebody. He's staring at the bathrooms, and you
Speaker 1: could tell the wheelchair belong to a woman, or at
Speaker 1: least someone who identifies as a woman. Don't snowflake me, okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's a woman. Both bathrooms are unisex bathrooms,
Speaker 1: you can go in either one, and both bathrooms are
Speaker 1: handicap accessible. So I say, oh, are you waiting for somebody?
Speaker 1: He says yes, So I said which bathroom are they in?
Speaker 1: So he points to the left one. So I go
Speaker 1: to the right one and open the door, and there
Speaker 1: is the woman he's with, this older woman naked on
Speaker 1: the toilet and somebody's hair. So I looked back at him,
Speaker 1: and he goes, what are you doing? I go, I
Speaker 1: asked you which once she was in? You pointed to
Speaker 1: the left wallby. He thought you were asking which one
Speaker 1: is empty? Except I used the words which one is
Speaker 1: she in? And he pointed to the left door. Maybe
Speaker 1: he was hearing impaired. Okay, I'm visually impaired now because
Speaker 1: I saw something I did not want to see. This
Speaker 1: guy is in a wheelchair. I tried for it's a
Speaker 1: woman in a wheelchair. She's not deaf. You don't lose
Speaker 1: your hearing in a wheelchair. Scary. And he wasn't in
Speaker 1: a wheelchair. He was the wheelchair pusher. The person that
Speaker 1: was sitting in the wheelchair and walked to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: to the bathroom to take a ship. Well, it's a
Speaker 1: woman that could be peeing, okay, but my point is
Speaker 1: just be a little. I don't know. It's a wheelchair couple,
Speaker 1: just giving. He's not a handicapboys break he's pushing around
Speaker 1: that wheelchair all day. I assume they were elderly. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they got a break at some point, you get
Speaker 1: a break in life. They were sixties. Anyway, I go
Speaker 1: into Okay, so this particular hospital, this particular hospital, which
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what happened when
Speaker 1: I got upstairs. This hospital is a is a cancer hospital. Again.
Speaker 1: My friend's gonna be fine. He just went for a screening.
Speaker 1: He's fine. It's a cancer hospital in Manhattan. In the bathroom,
Speaker 1: it says no smoking anywhere in the hospital. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would I would like to think that's understood throughout
Speaker 1: the entire fucking stupid. Do you have to be first
Speaker 1: of all, in yoke, you can't smoke indoors, But to
Speaker 1: smoke a cigarette anywhere in a cancer hospital irony, not coincidence, irony.
Speaker 1: If you do it, don't tell me they sell cigarettes
Speaker 1: in the would be next level. I just thought, do
Speaker 1: you really have to put it no smoking sign in
Speaker 1: a cancer hospital bathroom? Really? Really? I don't know it
Speaker 1: bothers you think it would be understood. I can tell
Speaker 1: you what happened when I go upstairs. What happened? All right?
Speaker 1: I go to the elevator and people are pushing. Uh. Now,
Speaker 1: there's two lower levels in this hospital. So even though
Speaker 1: I'm in the law, but you can go down this.
Speaker 1: This couple walks up and they pushed the up and
Speaker 1: the down buttons. I hate that. I know you do.
Speaker 1: I hate that unless they were separating and going they
Speaker 1: were not. They pushed up and down. People. Do you
Speaker 1: not know what that is and how that works? Bothers
Speaker 1: the funk out of me. Bro, if the elevator is
Speaker 1: going down, you hit the button down. And if you
Speaker 1: stop an elevator that wants to continue going down, you
Speaker 1: want to go up. My favorite is when I'm in
Speaker 1: the lobby and I'm going up to my apartment and
Speaker 1: I'm in the elevator and it just stops on a
Speaker 1: random floor and the doors open, and some woman like
Speaker 1: looks in and goes, oh, I'm sorry, I was going
Speaker 1: down because you know that bitch puts it down, push
Speaker 1: the up, push the button because she's like, oh, I
Speaker 1: just want the elevator to come. Don't do that. I
Speaker 1: hate those people. I hate them more when they're not
Speaker 1: there and you get the elevator throwing around the word
Speaker 1: throat punched. The last couple of days around the station
Speaker 1: I would throw it punch to person. I would like
Speaker 1: to throw the punch to person that did that. Suck up. Okay,
Speaker 1: now I have some email. I want to finish hospital story.
Speaker 1: Do you mean you're not done? I got no, I
Speaker 1: got more, keep going. Okay. So I go up to
Speaker 1: the store where my friend says, meet me on the
Speaker 1: fourth floor. Right. Okay. So I go up to a
Speaker 1: woman at the desk and I say, uh, we'll just
Speaker 1: call my friend Jim Brown. I said, yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for my friend Jim Brown. I was supposed
Speaker 1: to meet him on the fourth floor at the waiting room.
Speaker 1: But here is the waiting room, and uh, Jim Brown's
Speaker 1: not here. I was wondering because my friend Jim has
Speaker 1: a lot of tests to run. I'm wondering if you
Speaker 1: could tell me in the computer where along the process
Speaker 1: of testing is Jim, so I could see his You know,
Speaker 1: maybe Jim's another hour. What's the status with Jim? You're
Speaker 1: pulling the china shop at this in this hospital. No,
Speaker 1: I'm asking a nice question because but I know it's
Speaker 1: about to get really rude. The woman says, do you
Speaker 1: know if he's on the eighth floor getting a cat scam.
Speaker 1: I said, how would I know? I just told you
Speaker 1: I don't know where he is. I just asked you
Speaker 1: to look it up. You're getting rude. So she says, oh, okay. No,
Speaker 1: she says, okay, hospital a little upset. I was worried
Speaker 1: about Jim. She says, oh, okay, I thought you knew.
Speaker 1: I said, based on what? What indication did I give
Speaker 1: you that I knew? In question where Jim is? I said,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm sorry, but the first thing I said
Speaker 1: to you was I don't know where Jim is. Everyone's
Speaker 1: everyone's heart monitor machines by the way nearby are all
Speaker 1: going I said, because they're hearing you yell and argue.
Speaker 1: I was not yelling. I was not yelling. You were yelling,
Speaker 1: and there there are people in these rooms trying to rest. Okay,
Speaker 1: so she goes, you're getting She goes, I let me
Speaker 1: look it up. Click click on the keyboard. Oh, Jim's
Speaker 1: on the eighth floor getting a cat scam. So I said,
Speaker 1: am I allowed to go up there? And as there
Speaker 1: waiting room h and she says, uh no, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So I said, what do you mean, she's what do

Speaker 1: wrote to us at the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com Latina in a super thick accent. She writes
Speaker 1: I love y'all, binge listen while I'm at work, and
Speaker 1: I want to point something out that's been bothering me.
Speaker 1: Please don't be mad, because I love you guys so much.
Speaker 1: A while back on the podcast, there was an issue
Speaker 1: with a Hispanic newscaster saying Latina in a super thick accent,
Speaker 1: even though she doesn't have an accent usually, y'all poke
Speaker 1: fun in her for it, and even as the opinions
Speaker 1: on if she is correct in doing that or not. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm Hispanic myself, but I don't speak Spanish, but my
Speaker 1: sister does and she does the same thing as the
Speaker 1: newscaster did, and it used to drive me nuts. I
Speaker 1: just want you to know, is it any different though,
Speaker 1: than the way y'all pronounced muchadel and preshoot. I'm from Virginia,
Speaker 1: so I've been saying those words the non brook In
Speaker 1: way my entire life, and I had no idea what
Speaker 1: y'all were talking about. Thanks. So she's trying to make
Speaker 1: the comparison that it works both ways. Bub oh bub
Speaker 1: I'm just do that. Are trying? Bob Uh, Tim Rasmussen,
Speaker 1: Free Desert, Grandma Police. It's d E S S E
Speaker 1: R T not d E S E R T Tim.
Speaker 1: I love the podcast long time listeners since episode zero
Speaker 1: slides for life in Order bitches, wanted to share my story.
Speaker 1: I ordered a small package from Amazon two days ago.
Speaker 1: It was a long time Prime member, guaranteed two day
Speaker 1: shipping free. Well, just so happened that on the evening
Speaker 1: of the day too, I received a message saying that
Speaker 1: my delivery was delayed and would be delivered first thing
Speaker 1: the next morning. Here it is ten pm the following
Speaker 1: night and it's still not here, and all I could
Speaker 1: think of was what would Brodie do? So I called
Speaker 1: and Saturday sat on hold and forever sat there. Eventually
Speaker 1: offered a five dollar credit. By the way, the item
Speaker 1: my purchase was ten dollars, but I told them no,
Speaker 1: he even is not even, And after more transfers and complaints,
Speaker 1: I was given a credit and guaranteed delivery before twelve
Speaker 1: knew the next day, so they essentially gave me my
Speaker 1: purchase for free, plus five dollars from my trouble nice
Speaker 1: so they actually paid her for him for his delivery.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brooklyn boys, I love you both. Can't wait
Speaker 1: for Tim rass Mussin. By the way, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to mention names, but somebody sent me a couple of
Speaker 1: grammar police uh pictures and they hashtagged at grammar Police
Speaker 1: with an E R and grammar that's irony. But you
Speaker 1: gotta spell grammar right if you get a grammar place.
Speaker 1: Chadwick Clark writing to us, hey with Greg Te gone.
Speaker 1: I've been wondering if you guys were to leave Greg
Speaker 1: t the Jersey kids remember him, just gone from the
Speaker 1: big show. I've been I've been wondering if you guys
Speaker 1: were ever to leave the show, other than doing radio,
Speaker 1: what career would you both go into? Episode? By the way,
Speaker 1: my favorite episode, the first fifteen minutes with less farting
Speaker 1: on our husband's penis just bloody hilarious. That was the
Speaker 1: great post. I think Chad might be from the other
Speaker 1: side of the pond, gay, he said, bloody hilarious English,
Speaker 1: bloody hilarious. Anyway, Yeah, So what would we be doing?
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I don't know what I would
Speaker 1: be doing. I would probably be an accounting because that's
Speaker 1: what my parents wanted for me. I was going full
Speaker 1: throttle into accounting courses to be a CPS. I was
Speaker 1: going to school to be a lawyer, and uh, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this isn't for me, just doesn't feel right. And I
Speaker 1: joined the college radio station and the rest is history.
Speaker 1: Beth Schultz, right, Uh, you wanted to mention this Since
Speaker 1: the end of episode one, Brody played the clip from
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night Football of the guy saying verse instead
Speaker 1: of says Gandhi says verse in her ad for curvy jeans.
Speaker 1: Just letting you know, grammar police, we should probably correct her.
Speaker 1: On a different note. Congrats to making it to you guys.
Speaker 1: Slice for Life, Beth, can I read one? Go for it? Okay?
Speaker 1: This one, I'm gonna need you guys to tweet us.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you permission because I okay, I didn't know this,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure why it's acceptable. Brandon be money
Speaker 1: Swag quite a name. Hey David, very nice, Love everything
Speaker 1: you do. Can't wait for the book. Have a question.
Speaker 1: I went to a restaurant I really like and took
Speaker 1: my family there where they were visiting from out of town.
Speaker 1: I live in the South, so bugs are common. Halfway
Speaker 1: during our meal, a roach came scrambling over towards our
Speaker 1: table from the corner of the room. I was disgusted
Speaker 1: we packed up and left, and I told the employee
Speaker 1: behind the counter, who came out with a broom to sweep,
Speaker 1: and I guess try to find it as we left.
Speaker 1: I contacted them via their corporate contact on their website
Speaker 1: over a week ago, but haven't heard back. He wanted
Speaker 1: my advice. I gave it to him, but then he writes,
Speaker 1: I'm asking you because I know roaches are pretty common
Speaker 1: in the South. Um, they're pretty common everywhere. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing. So I continued the conversation with him, and
Speaker 1: and he says, uh, oh, yeah, um, I know I
Speaker 1: live in a place in the South where roaches and
Speaker 1: restaurants are pretty common. Is that true that people in
Speaker 1: the South just like roaches are running rampant? It's not.
Speaker 1: I don't know how y'all know it is my roach? Like,
Speaker 1: come on now, So, I mean, Brandon wasn't implying there everywhere,
Speaker 1: but he was sort of saying like, yeah, we know
Speaker 1: they're in the restaurants. I don't want another in restaurants
Speaker 1: now in New York, dre in the kitchen. You don't
Speaker 1: see him, but if they run across the table, I'm
Speaker 1: getting my money back. I thought that was interesting. Brandon
Speaker 1: that you live in the South. You don't live in
Speaker 1: the South. We lived in South Brooklyn, but doesn't count
Speaker 1: the question do you live in the South and are
Speaker 1: you completely comfortable and accepting of the fact that ends
Speaker 1: roaches all over the restaurants and then oh, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a Southern thing. I feel like that's generalizing the South.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you live in Miami, that's
Speaker 1: not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the South. South, Like,
Speaker 1: are you living in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana? Like
Speaker 1: you know what the South is? Shelby Constellini writes to us, Oh, hello, Shelby,
Speaker 1: my co worker and I are both huge fans of
Speaker 1: your podcast as well as the Big Show. In the
Speaker 1: fifteen minute Morning Show, we frequently look at each other
Speaker 1: during meetings when someone says another one. Free dessert is
Speaker 1: a common topic and is never passed up. We both
Speaker 1: binged the Brooklyn Boys episodes from the beginning. That being said, Emily,
Speaker 1: my friend and co worker is getting married on October eight,
Speaker 1: that's tomorrow, folks, on Friday. It would be so awesome
Speaker 1: if you could give her a shout out, she would
Speaker 1: lose her mind. Probably more than she did when Scary
Speaker 1: followed us both on Instagram. Thank you so much. Keep
Speaker 1: the awesome podcasts coming, Shelby from Connecticut. Here's the problem, Shelby,
Speaker 1: and we get this kind of mistake all the time.
Speaker 1: You write this wonderfully crafted email, give my my my
Speaker 1: husband a happy anniversary, tell my son happy birthday, congratulations
Speaker 1: on getting married, but you leave out all the names.
Speaker 1: You don't leave You didn't write that, so we get that.
Speaker 1: That's that. We get that a lot. You forgot to
Speaker 1: put the most important part of the email in the email,
Speaker 1: and that is what the fuss? Her name? Maybe she's
Speaker 1: just asking permission in the future. Can you wish them?
Speaker 1: Why don't you just put it right there in the email? Also,
Speaker 1: two more things you need to keep in mind. I
Speaker 1: love you, by the way, what is your name? You
Speaker 1: may not listen to the podcast and in timely manner,
Speaker 1: in which case the birthday wish won't be They're huge fans.
Speaker 1: This means they're gonna hear this today. His other problems.
Speaker 1: His other problems, Shelby, we on two birthdays on this spot.
Speaker 1: It's not a birthday marriage, okay, wedding the wedding well,
Speaker 1: you know what happened. Congratulations Shelby and your lucky spouse. No,
Speaker 1: not Shelby, Shelby. Congratulations to your coworker, get married, right,
Speaker 1: your whatever their relationship is, Mr Mrs, mrs, mrs, Mr Mr.
Speaker 1: They them those thou whatever. So I used to do
Speaker 1: the birthday list for one in New York City and
Speaker 1: we stopped this more birthday listening to compile and do
Speaker 1: it on the air every morning. This is years ago,
Speaker 1: and so often people would be like, hey, give my
Speaker 1: niece a happy birthday wish and he wouldn't leave any information, right, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: my very special niece or my son graduating college this right,
Speaker 1: so proud of him, so proud of him, congratulate him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and don't don't leave the name of the college. Don't
Speaker 1: leave your town. Also, the other wet the other mistake
Speaker 1: they would make is they would they would wouldn't tell
Speaker 1: you what aim they listened, right, so we wouldn't know
Speaker 1: what to do a four hour show. And if you're
Speaker 1: not listening to that second and a half of audio
Speaker 1: that right there. We don't have that problem here on
Speaker 1: the podcast because she's listened to the entire thing. So
Speaker 1: we don't do birthdays. That some housekeeping. First of all,
Speaker 1: we need some more reviews on Apple, it iTunes or
Speaker 1: whatever they call it now. iTunes is where we got
Speaker 1: to get back into that cracked that Apple two hundred
Speaker 1: and I think that we need more. So if you
Speaker 1: haven't written a review for us, please kindly leave some comments.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna add one more request. We told you a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago we would number twenty five on
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio Top one. Okay, then we were
Speaker 1: then thirty five, thirty four whatever. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on either either either. You guys are now downloading again,
Speaker 1: which is fine. Is your business. We asked you not
Speaker 1: do with It's right. He loved this. You wouldn't, but okay, right. Um.
Speaker 1: Then our buddy Garrett, who hosts the Celebrity Buzz podcast
Speaker 1: with Rob Shooter, which is a great podcast. He shot
Speaker 1: all the way up to VAM and we're very proud
Speaker 1: of him, very happy for him. But he told us
Speaker 1: the secret. What's the secret? He and Rob are embedding
Speaker 1: the podcast on websites, their Facebook pages, on on Rob
Speaker 1: Shooters web page, and so I think if you guys
Speaker 1: were to post our podcast on your Facebook pages, but
Speaker 1: embedded embedded like yeah, right, so that meaning like the
Speaker 1: player is there and you can hit play inside the
Speaker 1: window right there. That counts as a list. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it does it. That's why he's getting if
Speaker 1: you could tweet out the link, Hey, check out my
Speaker 1: friend just you know what, let's this is an experiment
Speaker 1: and the reason we ask well, I know we ask
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys. But the I Heart Radio
Speaker 1: Podcast Award nominations will be announced later in November. I
Speaker 1: got a bad feeling about that. I think the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: boys need to like go in with like hard. We
Speaker 1: need to go in hard with that, like we need
Speaker 1: to kind hard Brody. I didn't want to hide it
Speaker 1: from you, but I'm not feeling good this year. I
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna get nominated. I mean, I hate
Speaker 1: to have the defeatist attitude, but I just feel like
Speaker 1: I just feel like ten. I mean, how would they
Speaker 1: ignore us if we were in the top ten of
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio podcasts in a week and every
Speaker 1: time you listen once per day, every day, one listen,
Speaker 1: that's the counts and tell some friends we need to
Speaker 1: get the word out there outside of this circle. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like what we did was we shot up
Speaker 1: like a rocket. But we're right around the same level
Speaker 1: now for the past eight months, nine months. We need
Speaker 1: we need to be in growth mode. What are we
Speaker 1: not doing that? We're not like we were not next
Speaker 1: level ship. We're not next level. We're just chip. We
Speaker 1: We're not like we're just here. We've we've plateaued. We're
Speaker 1: not podcast af We're just kind of podcast you're not.
Speaker 1: We're not fourth quarter skiy. We're staying in first course.
Speaker 1: We're not getting year old Grenese mountain dog listeners. That's
Speaker 1: who we need to attract. And you know who hasn't
Speaker 1: called us, The Peter Millar people have not called us Peter.

Speaker 1: How about this our friends? Uh? What was his name again?
Speaker 1: The guy who? This guy's a genius he he um.
Speaker 1: He created the whole thing. Dylan Dylan. He's the founder
Speaker 1: of Brewmate. Yeah, thank you Dylan. By the way, his
Speaker 1: mission was to to shake up the beverage industry and

Speaker 1: stylish insulated drinkware designed to keep your favorite beverages ice
Speaker 1: cold all day long. So whether you're a fan of
Speaker 1: beer or wine or spirits, Brewmate make sure that every
Speaker 1: sip is the perfect temperature. How about that? Are you
Speaker 1: pulling up a picture of your broommate? No, I don't
Speaker 1: have to pull up a picture, because, as you know,
Speaker 1: I have the wine selator, which to this point I
Speaker 1: have not put wine in, but I've now started putting
Speaker 1: crystallite iced tea in it. It fits an entire bottle
Speaker 1: of wine. By the way, it's it fits a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot of my crystal comes with a silicone funnel.
Speaker 1: By the way, remember I told you My wife was like,
Speaker 1: why did you pick to pick the peacock, bloke, I
Speaker 1: don't make fun of I love the peacock, the color
Speaker 1: that I got, she says to me. The day she
Speaker 1: was um, I noticed you're drinking crystallite and the wine selator.
Speaker 1: Do you mind if I use that for actual wine?
Speaker 1: Because I don't you know, my wife likes uh, you
Speaker 1: know a nice uh Shawdney or what's the red one, Cabernet,
Speaker 1: Cabrinet loves Cabernett. I said, sorry, because you know what
Speaker 1: can I use? I go, oh, now you want to
Speaker 1: use my my pink, my peacock the insulator for wine.
Speaker 1: When you've been telling, oh, you didn't like the peacock,
Speaker 1: just that's growing him. I kind of like it, so
Speaker 1: I said, maybe I'll get to your own. She's like,
Speaker 1: that's an idea. By the way, it'll keep the wine
Speaker 1: at that temp. But you're uh for twenty four over
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, um so day ago. And by the way,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of times you go to places like
Speaker 1: tailgates and stuff. It's football season, and oh we took
Speaker 1: it to the high school football game Friday. Oh you
Speaker 1: did my daughters a cheerleader. You can't you. You don't
Speaker 1: want stuff that's gonna break. So this is the perfect
Speaker 1: solution at broommate. In fact, I always throw a pregame
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve at my house, my apartment. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: put white claw on that. No, no, no, no, that
Speaker 1: that that I would use the hopsulated slim for champagne flute. Hello,
Speaker 1: all right, cheers to the New Year's Um. It fits
Speaker 1: twelve ounces of your favorite bubbly So I get the
Speaker 1: insulated champagne flute right there. It's the largest one in
Speaker 1: the world, by the way, UM, and it has this
Speaker 1: drink through flip top lid. It holds in the carbonation
Speaker 1: and keeps your bubbly ice cold and carbonated, which is
Speaker 1: very important when it comes to champagne. And that does
Speaker 1: it for over five times long with than the competition.

Speaker 1: drug store. Times square, time square, crazy, busy, longline, and
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that a cashier would
Speaker 1: say to get the next person online to come to
Speaker 1: the register. I would raise my hand and be like next, Okay.
Speaker 1: Now there are some places that don't that think next
Speaker 1: is rude, so they go, may I help the next
Speaker 1: customer please? Or may I help the next guest? Talking
Speaker 1: to full sentence, yes, I would, yeah, so any of
Speaker 1: that is appropriate the cashier. I heard her saying it
Speaker 1: to everyone online, but I couldn't let it go because
Speaker 1: you know me, I can't let it go. Well, you
Speaker 1: tell me, she said, May I help the following guest?
Speaker 1: I was waiting for her to read a name out right,
Speaker 1: like Crema please right. I helped the following. Now you
Speaker 1: expected about James Monro, Mark Simmons, the following the following guests.

Speaker 1: gonna give me names? Who am I following? I'm not
Speaker 1: following the next customer? Well, then may I help the
Speaker 1: following guests? What did she think she meant? That's what
Speaker 1: I like to decipher that I to peel this onion apart,
Speaker 1: like to pull back the layers like a fucking bluemn onion.
Speaker 1: I think what she meant hold on is uh the
Speaker 1: person following, the following the person in front of me?
Speaker 1: So you're you're following because technically if i'm if I'm
Speaker 1: standing in line and I'm looking ahead of me from
Speaker 1: the perspective of the customer. But I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: that doesn't work. Following tay what it doesn't work? There
Speaker 1: were four registers. The person I was following is online
Speaker 1: at another register. I'm no longer following them. You're standing
Speaker 1: there waiting. She wants me to replace someone that was
Speaker 1: three people ahead of me in line, who I wasn't following.
Speaker 1: Technically I was behind them, but I wasn't following them directly.
Speaker 1: But I'm not the following guest. May help the following guest.

Speaker 1: Know your name? What's your name? Say? Talk? Yeah? Okay? Anyway,
Speaker 1: So I was there over the weekend and I have
Speaker 1: a problem. What when you're on the register, what are
Speaker 1: you supposed to say to get the next customer to
Speaker 1: come to your register. That's fulling customers? What following customers? Here?
Speaker 1: Hold on falling customers? Yeah, so like if customers are falling,
Speaker 1: I don't understand what the following Yeah, the full customer,
Speaker 1: the following customs, the following you that's yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say? Shouldn't you say? May I speak to
Speaker 1: the next customer? No? I don't see it like this.
Speaker 1: I following customers, falling customer, but I look out for
Speaker 1: falling customers? Is the manager? Is that? Is that requested
Speaker 1: that it's it's said in that fashion? Is that a
Speaker 1: corporate policy? The word the customer, customer, following customer, then
Speaker 1: finish the transaction, then again the following customers. The policy
Speaker 1: we follow? All right? Yeah, so you're you're just so
Speaker 1: I'm clear you're saying following customer, right yeah? Okay, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: Can we speak to the manager because I have I
Speaker 1: had a problem there on this weekend? Okay, thank you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, it's a corporate policy, dude. I understand that
Speaker 1: they had to visit directly. He did say falling customer.
Speaker 1: You know what he meant? He meant follow? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: understand that, but I thought he said fallen you making
Speaker 1: fun of him because of the accident. Following, following follow
Speaker 1: I know, I understand the man if I hear, but
Speaker 1: the manager is not going to solve your problem because
Speaker 1: we got you don't want to said call him. I know,
Speaker 1: but I just we just got our answer, but he
Speaker 1: got I like the music. Yes, Hi, are you one
Speaker 1: of the managers? Yes, I am Hi. What's your name?
Speaker 1: Des oh Desi? How are you? Um? My name is Scary.
Speaker 1: I was in your store this weekend and I had
Speaker 1: a question. Is it company policy for your cashiers to say,
Speaker 1: may I help the following guest? Following guests may help
Speaker 1: the following customer? We give them, We give them options
Speaker 1: of what to say. Okay. The reason I'm asking is
Speaker 1: because when you say may I help the following like
Speaker 1: if I said, well, the following people keep please come
Speaker 1: to the principal's office. You're going to read a list
Speaker 1: of names. But when you say following, can I help
Speaker 1: the following guest, I'm waiting for a name to be
Speaker 1: read out loud. Well, I think what you mean is
Speaker 1: may help the next guest. Don't you think that's corrected
Speaker 1: to say the next guest? May help the next guest.
Speaker 1: That's that's sufficient. Also, yeah, but following guest is in
Speaker 1: efficient because I saw people in front of me didn't
Speaker 1: understand that, and they weren't going to the register because
Speaker 1: it's not proper to say, may help the following guest
Speaker 1: because you're not really the following guest. You have to
Speaker 1: wait to the next guest. You're not really following anybody
Speaker 1: guest desert, that's what you should use. I just didn't
Speaker 1: know if it was corporate policy. And they say, oh,
Speaker 1: you could say the word following down like written somewhere
Speaker 1: in like the corporate rooms, may help the following guests.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what I'm saying, Like you know, well,
Speaker 1: the following people please come to the stage, and then
Speaker 1: you read the list of names Mike, Steve, Paul. But
Speaker 1: if you don't read any names, the customers didn't go
Speaker 1: to the register. They stood there. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's working. You think that works. It works now,
Speaker 1: I don't think it works. The girl had to start
Speaker 1: waving because people didn't understand understand I'm saying the following
Speaker 1: guests you should then read a list of names, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know, all Right, that was my question. Can
Speaker 1: you give any prescriptions for a Brody b R O
Speaker 1: D y pharmacy? Okay, he needs penis smallening pills. It's
Speaker 1: too big. He just yeah, he take I'll take the pharmacy. Great,
Speaker 1: thank you, But Scary Johns, I don't want to see
Speaker 1: what kind of medication you taken because you're you're a lute.
Speaker 1: Is this like a hip hop problem? Don't even know
Speaker 1: what that means? One can help you? Yes, question for
Speaker 1: you to pharmacy. Uh, I was there last week. My
Speaker 1: name is uh Scary Jones and uh what da data?
Speaker 1: Birth to three st system? Oh that's weird. Try sixty
Speaker 1: five he's old. Mh Nope nothing, how are you spelling?
Speaker 1: Scary s? K E R Y Wait a second, is
Speaker 1: this CVS? No? This is not ship. I called the
Speaker 1: wrong place. Sorry about that. You have a great day.
Speaker 1: Helped the following customer. We can't get a chance, or
Speaker 1: the next falling customer. I don't know so when obviously
Speaker 1: we got the answer right there in their guide, their
Speaker 1: style guide. They that is one of the options. Uh,
Speaker 1: that is Core Corporate has allowed them. Maybe there is
Speaker 1: some Maybe it's a regionalism, Brody. Maybe this is from
Speaker 1: this region. No, No, with corporate maybe somewhere in the
Speaker 1: southwest or maybe in the north Walgreens corporate located. What
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, maybe it is that is a way
Speaker 1: of addressing Deerfield, Illinois. So maybe somewhere in Deerfield, Illinois
Speaker 1: if you say that statement, because they wouldn't have instructed
Speaker 1: their employees to say that as an option. You see
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like there are things their regionalisms and
Speaker 1: dialects and localisms that we don't know about. So it
Speaker 1: may be excepted here is you know, like white white
Speaker 1: mills accepted somewhere. Let's see what Let's see what it says.
Speaker 1: Um he has a page called stack exchange. It says
Speaker 1: isn't correct to say the following customer. It happens all
Speaker 1: the time you are in line at the grocery store, Starbucks,
Speaker 1: anywhere cashiers are employed. Having finished a transaction, one will
Speaker 1: cheerfully say to help the following customer. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that the next customer's correct usage unless they call the
Speaker 1: following customer's name. This okay, No, no, no, It says,
Speaker 1: I have to think that cashiers have been instructed by
Speaker 1: management to use following. I can't this is a person's opinion.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that cash is on their own would
Speaker 1: come up with such silliness. I've also heard following guests
Speaker 1: instead of customer, which is even more convoluted. Does anyone
Speaker 1: know more about this? Uh, it's a participle being used
Speaker 1: as an adjective, like the walking dead or the setting son.
Speaker 1: It's a little unusual. The phrase next customer is more
Speaker 1: common idiom in English. Of course, what we've been I'm
Speaker 1: telling you it is. Although it is not incorrect, it
Speaker 1: grates on everyone's nerves because it connotates the sense of people, uh,
Speaker 1: flowing to the next person and they don't read the names.
Speaker 1: They should say, yeah, so there you go. You have it.
Speaker 1: It's definitely in their corporate policy. It has to be,

Speaker 1: in my ringtone. That should be your second book supervisor,
Speaker 1: forget about the evenings? No, can I speak to a
Speaker 1: supervisor that encompasses you? Now, five people just made a

Speaker 1: Are you a customer service supervisor? Team? Oh? Escalations team?
Speaker 1: All right? Uh so, uh My my name is uh
Speaker 1: Is Garrett, and I was in your store in Times
Speaker 1: Square and I had a question about the customers service policy.
Speaker 1: And when I called, I spoke to Lisa in customer Relations,
Speaker 1: and in my explanation of the problem or the question
Speaker 1: I had, she hung up on me. Now, I know
Speaker 1: these calls are monitored for quality assurance, so I'd like
Speaker 1: to make sure that that call was monitored for quality
Speaker 1: assurance because she just hung up. She didn't say goodbye,
Speaker 1: she hung up, So that's not that's not proper policy
Speaker 1: of custom relations. Correct, Okay, then proceed to escalate. Here's
Speaker 1: my question. Have you been in a store recently. Oh,
Speaker 1: you don't go to CVS. All right? So I was
Speaker 1: in one of your stores, longline, and the cashier, when
Speaker 1: she was available, yelled out, may I help the following guest? Now,
Speaker 1: if you're at school and they say, well, the following
Speaker 1: people please come to the principal's office, they usually read
Speaker 1: a list of names. Will the will the following people
Speaker 1: please report to? Uh? Come up to the window to
Speaker 1: see the doctor. They give you a list of names.
Speaker 1: But when you say can I have the following customer?
Speaker 1: There's no name. People didn't move up. They didn't know
Speaker 1: that that was what it meant. Shouldn't they say? As
Speaker 1: a corporate policy, may help the next customer. It's not
Speaker 1: documented is to have a as customers to come forward.
Speaker 1: They don't have a okay, because I called the store
Speaker 1: that they have to state, all right? Because I called
Speaker 1: the store and I spoke to a gentleman names from
Speaker 1: I could remember something like that, uh, And he said
Speaker 1: it's the policy of the company to say, may help
Speaker 1: the following guest. And that doesn't make any sense to
Speaker 1: me grammatically, And so he said you should call the
Speaker 1: corporate office. And that's when Lisa hung up on me.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, that's not a customer service mandatory phrase
Speaker 1: to use. I'm not familiar with their their pre unless
Speaker 1: it's something that they institute if they started in their
Speaker 1: particular store, I'm not familiar with. Okay, So when you
Speaker 1: go for your store has their own right is more appropriate?
Speaker 1: Right right, right, right, right now. You said you haven't
Speaker 1: been in the store in a while. Where do you
Speaker 1: shop for your pharmaceuticals? That's that's doesn't oppertain it to
Speaker 1: this cause. Oh so not Walgreens. Okay, not a problem.
Speaker 1: In other words, there's none of your business. That's noth
Speaker 1: I understand that. Okay, if you could please, if you
Speaker 1: could please put some quality insurance on that call with
Speaker 1: Lisa from ten minutes ago, we'd appreciate it. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. You can now help the following guests as well.
Speaker 1: She does not sound like escalated. That sounds to me
Speaker 1: like they found someone who was on the who came
Speaker 1: back from me a lunch break and like, hey, you're
Speaker 1: gonna play the role of supervisor. I don't think she's
Speaker 1: actually a supervisor. I'm in escalations. What does that mean
Speaker 1: she works on the elevator, What does that mean, my
Speaker 1: ain hurts, all right, I didn't get to have my ship.
Speaker 1: You know. I want you because of when I was
Speaker 1: born Brooklyn, dah Boys Brock, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, naw Boys Brock, Brooklyn,
