Speaker 1: happen you've been I'm Scary Jones and I go, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm David Bronie. All right, Look, look, you know what
Speaker 1: brooking process, So I don't mind taking it's a hold on.
Speaker 1: It's also work in progress. It's a work in progress.
Speaker 1: You said process? Did I say process? It's a process
Speaker 1: working with you? So it is. So we'll do it again.
Speaker 1: How dos she just go? Now we're gonna sing along? Right,
Speaker 1: it's also on the track. We know the words, right,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Da Boys, Brooklyn Boys. I'm David Brody Jones. There
Speaker 1: you go. Wait a second, How did I get suckered
Speaker 1: into that? What? I'm Scary Jones? Right? You already said that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to go first? No you're not? Okay? What
Speaker 1: can we alternate? Are you okay with that? Yeah? Sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll go first, you go second. Sometimes you'll go second.
Speaker 1: I'll go first. Wait a second, he just tricked me? What? No,
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll go first and you go second. That's what
Speaker 1: I said. Sometimes I'll go first, sometimes you'll go second.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you'll go second, then I'll go first. We'll just
Speaker 1: take turns. Okay, why do I feel like I'm being jipped? Well,
Speaker 1: that's what God did that to you, sir. I don't
Speaker 1: know any problem with that. He in his episode two
Speaker 1: of our podcast two and a half, I want to
Speaker 1: say two and a half, I came to an agreement
Speaker 1: on Twitter with some people that were saying it's because
Speaker 1: because we have an episode zero we do, which was
Speaker 1: sort of a bridge episode where we were on shore
Speaker 1: what we would doing. It was sort of the podcast
Speaker 1: before the podcast. It was like a prequel, right, the prequel,
Speaker 1: So can better than the Star Wars prequels? Can zero
Speaker 1: be even counted? But zero is not a number if
Speaker 1: you look, if you ask any mathematicians, zero is not
Speaker 1: a number. It's a digit, but it's not a number,
Speaker 1: it's an amount. It's nothing. Right, So it's sort of
Speaker 1: so listen to episode zero to figure out how we
Speaker 1: got to where we are now at episode one. Now,
Speaker 1: so we should be counting in halves. So this is
Speaker 1: episode I think if you're going to say how many
Speaker 1: episodes we've done. Then I counted this sort of half,
Speaker 1: what is the third episode we've done? If you're counting zero,
Speaker 1: No I don't because zero would be one. I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying we've done two, And like it was like
Speaker 1: a half of an episode. It was like not really
Speaker 1: a full Brooklyn Boys podcast. And so if you if
Speaker 1: you're gonna say every week how many we've done, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, add that half one. I wanted to like
Speaker 1: just say it's the second episode. But if we're clear,
Speaker 1: if you remember back in the day when used to
Speaker 1: clean the chalkboard at school, you know, they used to
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, someone would get the
Speaker 1: base and the gray basin water and the sponge and
Speaker 1: and someone would would actually come in and wipe the
Speaker 1: chalkboard clean and they would like literally like like like cleaning,
Speaker 1: and it looked great, but then when it dried, it
Speaker 1: was the smears of the chalk anyway, like white cloudy water. Right.
Speaker 1: So I feel like episode zero, after episode zero, we
Speaker 1: came in with that bucket, it's like about you know
Speaker 1: what it is? Episode zero in spot you know what
Speaker 1: it is? Episode zero is like um breaking bad and
Speaker 1: then better call Saul is all the other episodes. It's
Speaker 1: part of the family, but it's not really an episode. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right. By the way, you ever used to hide
Speaker 1: chalk in the eracers? They did? Everyone did that, You
Speaker 1: know that. That was when you take the black race
Speaker 1: and p chalk in the middle of it like that
Speaker 1: grooves and it we could stick up and then then
Speaker 1: somebody would come to erase the board and they would
Speaker 1: like right all over the board with the chalk, like
Speaker 1: I want to clear up something. Yes, if this is
Speaker 1: the first time you're listening to our podcast, thank you.
Speaker 1: By the way, welcome board, welcome, We welcome everybody. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: this is not a podcast about Brooklyn. It's a podcast
Speaker 1: by two guys from from the neighborhood in Brooklyn. Yes,
Speaker 1: so we might have a Brooklyn take on something more global. Now,
Speaker 1: if you search for Brooklyn Boys on I Heart radio
Speaker 1: and iTunes, but I Heart Radio especially, you get other things,
Speaker 1: like there's some songs by like as a dance song,
Speaker 1: it's his Brooklyn Boys, that's the title of the song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's other there's other there's other crap that. But you
Speaker 1: have to scroll down to podcasts and currently our logo
Speaker 1: is the Brooklyn Bridge. What's gonna temporary. We're working on
Speaker 1: a real, real logan. By the way, that is an
Speaker 1: original painting. A woman painted that for me um and
Speaker 1: sent it to me. She actually is from Iowa, and
Speaker 1: I paid good money for that, and it's hanging above
Speaker 1: my bed. That is the painting hanging above my bed.
Speaker 1: It's an original and and for now it's our temporary
Speaker 1: logo until we have a more permanent solution. And I
Speaker 1: like that I get to use it. I didn't pay
Speaker 1: for its right exactly, and no one it's not a
Speaker 1: copyright infringement because I own it. Also, you can get
Speaker 1: in touch with us now Here's this is going to
Speaker 1: be a little confusing, but we're in the process of
Speaker 1: of getting getting our Twitter handle and our everything proper
Speaker 1: right now. A kind of explained this last week on
Speaker 1: the first episode right with our parents, right that we
Speaker 1: we named the show the Brooklyn Boys, and on Twitter,
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Boys wasn't available, and so we had three
Speaker 1: extra letters to play with to make it different. So
Speaker 1: we chose wtf you heard to go back and hear
Speaker 1: the episode if you have it, I'm sure you have,
Speaker 1: and so on Twitter where the Brooklyn boys w TF
Speaker 1: for now? Which I like? But you know what, we
Speaker 1: can do better? You know what I you know what
Speaker 1: I claimed the other day, I claimed, Yo Brooklyn boys.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you that I have Yo Brooklyn boys.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. You're like, Yo Brooklyn sounds like
Speaker 1: a yogurt store, like like it doesn't Yo Brooklyn, Yo
Speaker 1: Brooklyn boys. That's like it's almost like you're you're like,
Speaker 1: I had, Hey Brooklyn boys. You didn't like that? Not
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, because if you're reaching out to us
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you're tweeting hey Brooklyn boys, or so the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn version of that would be Yo Brooklyn boys. Well,
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn version will be hey, assholes, that's of you
Speaker 1: our Twitter just at hay assholes? Is that taking? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Check by the time you hear this, we've
Speaker 1: already checked exactly. All right, all right, well well alright,
Speaker 1: so so so we have we have some connections and
Speaker 1: now we own well we we we have, we have
Speaker 1: we have Yeah, I wouldn't let's let those connections we have.
Speaker 1: We have some things we may we're gonna change it.
Speaker 1: So just we don't know, we're gonna change many changes already.
Speaker 1: One thing I will tell you, though, is you can
Speaker 1: reach us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: If you want to respond to any of this stuff,
Speaker 1: you do check email, right, Brodie not not checking it? Okay,
Speaker 1: Well I'll check it and I'll read it. So I
Speaker 1: want to I want to just clear the air on
Speaker 1: that as well. You did a podcast before this one,
Speaker 1: and you had a chat room and a Facebook page
Speaker 1: and a Twitter, and you're all up in that. I
Speaker 1: don't have time for that. I love the listeners, but
Speaker 1: this is my third podcast. In addition to my two jobs,
Speaker 1: I have the company, three jobs here at the company,
Speaker 1: and I don't have time. I understand that because the
Speaker 1: reason enough time is I respond to every tweet, every tweet,
Speaker 1: and so I'd rather just keep it on in one place.
Speaker 1: Tweet me, keep it short. You could reach him, by
Speaker 1: the way at David Underscore. Brody, you're not following him.
Speaker 1: Follow him. He's a funny guy. And I think the
Speaker 1: best way who contact us is probably our own Twitter,
Speaker 1: which which we're gonna which we're gonna settle in the
Speaker 1: next well, I mean, I mean, you're at Scary Jones,
Speaker 1: I'm at David on Score Brody and if you want
Speaker 1: to add the Brooklyn Boys, absolutely do all three. If
Speaker 1: you can, that'd be great. But if you do like
Speaker 1: at Brooklyn Boys, we may not see it right away
Speaker 1: and we want to get back to you right away,
Speaker 1: so just take us. Also, if you don't mind, take
Speaker 1: us on our personal in regards to last episode, Yes,
Speaker 1: I corrected you something that you said grammatically incorrect. We
Speaker 1: had a whole little debate on it. You came out
Speaker 1: of the light went over your head, and you realized
Speaker 1: that I was right, and we moved on. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: but a bunch of people commented on that, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you should do a grammar podcast now. Okay, so a
Speaker 1: couple of things. Number One, I have no time for
Speaker 1: a fourth podcast. Although they were like you and Bethany
Speaker 1: from the Elvistraight Morning Show. In case you're yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw that they want you to you a podcast with
Speaker 1: Bethany that that deals with the grammar. Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: A select number of people like people who are really
Speaker 1: good at grammar. The rest of the world hates us
Speaker 1: for correcting people. So I try to do it in
Speaker 1: a funny way. I have an idea. Now, some somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody uh in my life tweeted something that I was
Speaker 1: tagged in and said, uh, who's who's on it Look
Speaker 1: who's on iTunes? And who's so to me, I would
Speaker 1: spell that w h O apostrophe ass who is right?
Speaker 1: But they wrote who's as in w h os like
Speaker 1: whose shoes are these? And so I had to correct him.
Speaker 1: But I felt I felt like, you know, I felt
Speaker 1: like an asshole. No, never feel like an asshole because
Speaker 1: I'm right. Yeah, but that makes you come off No.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I just want to let you know,
Speaker 1: and they said, thank you. They appreciate That's good because
Speaker 1: some people don't respond that way. Some people take it
Speaker 1: very personally. Yeah, well they shouldn't because you're just trying
Speaker 1: to help. Well, I did win my third grade spelling B.
Speaker 1: I was there. I have my my trophy to boot.
Speaker 1: So I am. I am a pretty smart guy. I am.
Speaker 1: I'm still spelling. I am still angry about my third
Speaker 1: grade spelling B. What happened? Then, I'm using the word
Speaker 1: angry deliberately. What happened? So? I like to consider myself
Speaker 1: a very very bright person. As you know, I graduated
Speaker 1: high school sixteen. Bertie, you were so advanced, I can't
Speaker 1: believe your story. I ain't well anyway. So I was
Speaker 1: always like the kid in the class, was set at
Speaker 1: the special table, was did extra work and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So I was very I guess I was confident. But
Speaker 1: being confident and being smart, it's like the athlete that's
Speaker 1: so naturally gifted. They don't try as hard as the short,
Speaker 1: scrappy guy who runs into walls because he knows he
Speaker 1: has to right. Okay, so third grade spelling b if you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a reference to a TV show. It's
Speaker 1: an old TV show, The Honeymooners, where the star of
Speaker 1: the show um is very cocky, Ralph Kramden. He's gonna
Speaker 1: win the name that tune show. This is my dollar questions.
Speaker 1: My family categories popular music, right, and so he studies
Speaker 1: every single he knows every This is back in the fifties,
Speaker 1: so at that point it wasn't as much music as
Speaker 1: there is now. Every composer, songwriter, chart position. He studies
Speaker 1: for weeks and weeks and weeks. What is pal Ed
Speaker 1: Norton and every time? Ed on the piano because they
Speaker 1: don't have MP three players in the fifties, Ed plays
Speaker 1: the song, and he has to try to guess who
Speaker 1: it is. Right, they're practicing, but in in order to
Speaker 1: get to get limbered up and to start, he has
Speaker 1: to play Swannee River and then we'll go into the
Speaker 1: song right. And then he played this right and and
Speaker 1: and Ralph would get very upset with him and say,
Speaker 1: would you just play the song? Yeah? Cut cut at
Speaker 1: that beginning, wind up a part, and go right to
Speaker 1: the song that I'm trying to guess, right, And he
Speaker 1: would say, but Ralph, that's how I get That's how
Speaker 1: I learned how to play. I have to do it.
Speaker 1: So Ralph again the whole episode he's learning, He's like,
Speaker 1: if you like, let's say this was today's music, you
Speaker 1: go work Rihanna, you know two sixteen who wrote it
Speaker 1: the whole thing? Okay? Boom like David Boom Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so right, So he goes on the show. He's been
Speaker 1: studying for like two weeks. Right, he knows every song
Speaker 1: ever written at that point in time. And in the
Speaker 1: host of the show says, uh, and he says, how
Speaker 1: do you feel I'm confident? He goes, kind, I'm going
Speaker 1: straight to the top, straight to the top. So on
Speaker 1: this show you had to like answer like let's say,
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty questions and everything and and the sixty four
Speaker 1: dollar quick. No, he didn't get to hold on. He
Speaker 1: had he had to answer like a bunch of questions
Speaker 1: all the way up like millionaire, more and more questions,
Speaker 1: and he's going, I'm going right to the top. I
Speaker 1: know everything about music. Ask me anything. And so they
Speaker 1: so he goes, okay, for for one thousand dollars one
Speaker 1: whatever it was, who sings this song? And he goes
Speaker 1: who sings? Swanny River said, didn't you say that? He said,
Speaker 1: who sings this song? And then he finally goes ed Norton,
Speaker 1: his friend because he doesn't know, and like, oh a sorry,
Speaker 1: and you're off the show. Off the show. And so
Speaker 1: he's like, off the show written by by John Thompson.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to leave. You're gonna have to leave.
Speaker 1: Like everything the guy says, encyclopedia of knowledge, but the
Speaker 1: most basic thing in front of his face, he didn't
Speaker 1: bother to memorize. And that was so he went home
Speaker 1: with nothing. By the way, that is my favorite episode
Speaker 1: of the Honeymoon. Yes, it's every right, okay, so well
Speaker 1: here okay, So I was extra cocky the spelling b
Speaker 1: I'm the smartest kid in school. I was reading it
Speaker 1: a sixth grade level in second grade, So this thing
Speaker 1: is gonna be no problem. Well I wasn't cocky about it,
Speaker 1: but in my mind I was, you know, like I
Speaker 1: was helping the teacher and everything like Okay. So they
Speaker 1: tell you the rules and they say, okay, so when
Speaker 1: you get the word, say the words, spell the word,
Speaker 1: repeat the word yes, okay, like uh, book be oh okay,
Speaker 1: book okay. So I get up there and I'm telling
Speaker 1: everybody I've been studying these words. I'm I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: I'm studying like fifth grade words. I'm gonna kill this thing. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I get up there and you have to like
Speaker 1: walk on stage. They tell you the word, You do
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do, and you move on. So
Speaker 1: they go up there and go, uh, your word is
Speaker 1: angry and I smile and I go hey and g
Speaker 1: r y and they says, I'm sorry. Next, wait a second,
Speaker 1: but you spelled it right, Yeah, But what were the rules?
Speaker 1: The rules were. I had to say the words, spell
Speaker 1: the word, and then say the word again a second.
Speaker 1: I just said, I just said I just spelled it
Speaker 1: because I wasn't. I was so cocky that I was
Speaker 1: gonna nail everything. I didn't listen to the directions, and I,
Speaker 1: that's bullshit. It's no, no, no no, no, no no. That
Speaker 1: wasn't a Ralph crammed in moment. That wasn't you. It
Speaker 1: was because I was like going right to the top,
Speaker 1: right to the top, and I went right off the stage.
Speaker 1: You spelled the word, right, Yeah, but I didn't follow
Speaker 1: the rules. So it's my point was they got you
Speaker 1: out on a technicality because they would jealous. Those little
Speaker 1: bastards know that the teacher and the principle who are
Speaker 1: running the contest. This was as much of a lesson
Speaker 1: is following instructions as it was spelling words. And did
Speaker 1: you ever get the test they gave you this? There's
Speaker 1: another thing about following directions. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: still do this anymore. They handed out copies of papers
Speaker 1: to everybody, right, and it said, all right, there's a
Speaker 1: series of twenty questions and assignments on this paper. Uh,
Speaker 1: when you're done with all everything on the paper, just
Speaker 1: turn it over and put your hands down. And when
Speaker 1: where everyone's done, we will move on and the first
Speaker 1: question said, uh, do not do anything until you read
Speaker 1: everything on the page. And then the first one says,
Speaker 1: like what's three times six or eighteen? And then the
Speaker 1: next one was what is a rectangle? Is how many
Speaker 1: sides it have? And then it was like math equations.
Speaker 1: So so I think, I see you're going and then
Speaker 1: I so I worked at all the problems and I
Speaker 1: nailed it, and I get to number two, let's say twenty,
Speaker 1: and it says, do not do any thing. Put your
Speaker 1: pencil down, ignore all the questions. Because the first thing
Speaker 1: said do not do anything until you read the whole page.
Speaker 1: That's correct. But I was like, I'm gonna nail this thing.
Speaker 1: And I flew right through it and everybody in the
Speaker 1: class except one kid was like, oh, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do anything, and he read till the end and he
Speaker 1: put his hand. I was like, how did that? Because
Speaker 1: he follow the INSTRUC instruction. Brody, that's a character flaw
Speaker 1: in life. I mean, you're you're now you're attacking me.
Speaker 1: I feel well, but you do that today, I mean
Speaker 1: you rush, you rush into like I know it, I
Speaker 1: know the answer. You're like the guy on family feud
Speaker 1: that gets up there and like goes and buzzes in
Speaker 1: the question, then finished the question. Here's the problem part
Speaker 1: of what makes me good my job here in writing
Speaker 1: so quickly as people are talking. And is it like
Speaker 1: the old game password? Right? You go hot the person cold? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: You do it with me. I'll show how my brain works.
Speaker 1: You can give the clue. Okay, uh circle where no
Speaker 1: hot and cold? Um? Okay, so let's just say up. No,
Speaker 1: you don't follow directions cold hot, Give me the clue
Speaker 1: of hot ready, god, no, ready, ready and boiling? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, what are you talking about? Just say hot?
Speaker 1: Just say hot hot and the answer is cold, right,
Speaker 1: so you go gready do it? Hold? See up, I
Speaker 1: jumped on you because I'm already thinking what the answer is,
Speaker 1: because I'm already anticipating the question. It's like, oh, what
Speaker 1: is the capital of Albany? Right? But it's New Mexico.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, I should have said Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Albuquerque,
Speaker 1: one of them. Okay, whatever, it's I think it's Albuquerque. Anyway.
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong, I'm Polish. But your your brain is lightning, right,
Speaker 1: and so as long as I'm right, it's like wow,
Speaker 1: he was right, like, I like, it's great. But if
Speaker 1: I'm every once in a while wrong, it's because I'm
Speaker 1: going too fast to wait around to think about it.
Speaker 1: But that's a cocky son of a bitch. Move. Well
Speaker 1: it's just where my mind work. But you see, but
Speaker 1: mine see Okay, So here's how my mind works. Listen
Speaker 1: to people. First, I like to listen to everything, and
Speaker 1: then don't have time for that, like just now, like
Speaker 1: I don't have time for you to finish your sentence.
Speaker 1: Well that's not cool. Then you're not listening. How's your
Speaker 1: wife put up with you? She doesn't. That's the problem.
Speaker 1: Doesn't supposed to listen to your what here is the
Speaker 1: thing to what they said? But look, you remember that
Speaker 1: guy in sales that we we didn't like. Listen in response,
Speaker 1: There was a guy in sales that drove us crazy,
Speaker 1: drove was crazy. He was annoying, he bothered us, he
Speaker 1: pestered us, and we complained to his boss and he said, hey, Bob,
Speaker 1: this guy's driving his crazy. But l GP is still
Speaker 1: here for some reason. No not, And and Bob, the
Speaker 1: current boss at the time, said, what makes him annoying
Speaker 1: is what makes him great, right, and what makes me
Speaker 1: good at my job right like like okay, like Elvis said,
Speaker 1: so we gotta put up with you like a selfish prick. Sometimes, No,
Speaker 1: not a selfish prick. It's like when Elvis called me
Speaker 1: out of nowhere yesterday and he said, Elvis dran our
Speaker 1: our host. I assume everyone listened to our morning show,
Speaker 1: but they might not at this point he said out
Speaker 1: of nowhere, Hey, Brodie, what words sound funny right now?
Speaker 1: Some people would have to go oh um rudabaga like
Speaker 1: but he's like, oh, BROI, what where's art choke? You
Speaker 1: didn't even let him finish? Well, I let him finish,
Speaker 1: but like like I played like categories and board games. Okay,
Speaker 1: for the sake of this part. The point was I
Speaker 1: screwed I. I screwed the pooch in this spelling beat
Speaker 1: because I was so quick to give the an I understand,
Speaker 1: and you know what, you learned your lesson, but you
Speaker 1: didn't because you still do it to this day. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, I can't help it for the
Speaker 1: sake of this podcast, can you, for the sake of
Speaker 1: can can try to down a little? I will try
Speaker 1: to slow it down for you, And that makes me.
Speaker 1: That makes me look bad. That's like you're insulting me. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just listening. I'm just I'm just just slow it
Speaker 1: down because just just a notch. No, I will slow
Speaker 1: it down. I'm just explaining to you why I failed
Speaker 1: those two. You listen to me, I listen to you.
Speaker 1: We listen. We feed off each other. Now, sorry, I
Speaker 1: was looking at my notes. Would you say exactly you
Speaker 1: went with that? That's brody for you. So a couple
Speaker 1: of things. Wow, why do we even begin for today?
Speaker 1: You want to attack me for something I don't have
Speaker 1: to attack you play something out Last week I had
Speaker 1: a problem with you because you had your interns in
Speaker 1: here sifting through resumes. We're trying to call their own replacements,
Speaker 1: calling people up for future interviews so those people could
Speaker 1: ultimately come in here and get the jobs and replace
Speaker 1: them in the next time. And I found fault with
Speaker 1: you because you were talking about a party went to
Speaker 1: I wasn't invited to, and most people agreed mine was
Speaker 1: yours was a more serious offense and mine was a
Speaker 1: better complaint. Right, Well, okay, and we're not trying to
Speaker 1: do that. We're not playing tip for tip. No, But
Speaker 1: what happened? What happened since then, well you did something.
Speaker 1: The very next day you did something else, which, again
Speaker 1: I find I find just the deplorable. You were like, hey, scary,
Speaker 1: I want you to meet so and tell has some
Speaker 1: some girl that you had up here. I'm like, oh, hi,
Speaker 1: how are you? And you're like, yeah, you know, she
Speaker 1: was the uh, the sixth out of five people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: deb she she was the sixth intern at of five
Speaker 1: people that got the job. So basically she was a
Speaker 1: runner up who didn't get the job. But you, out
Speaker 1: of the kindness of your heart, I suppose, invited her
Speaker 1: up for a tour of the radio station. So I'm like, this,
Speaker 1: poor girl. She she knows she doesn't have the job.
Speaker 1: She knows she was a runner up, but now she's
Speaker 1: here in the building, walking around these very hallways, staring
Speaker 1: longingly at the job she doesn't have. That's like, that's
Speaker 1: like being the pizza delivery boy where you're delivering pizza
Speaker 1: to someone's house and you smell it but you can't
Speaker 1: eat it. It's like it's like, no, it's not because
Speaker 1: the pizza is in the car with you. When you're
Speaker 1: delivering in someone's house and your mouth is watering, you're salivating.
Speaker 1: You're like, the smell is so good. I'm right here,
Speaker 1: it's right in front of me. But I have to
Speaker 1: deliver to these people. That's not the same thing. The
Speaker 1: same thing would be if you and another person were
Speaker 1: with a finalist to win a house and you didn't
Speaker 1: win the house, and he invites you over to his
Speaker 1: new house that he just won. That's that's an analogy.
Speaker 1: I want the house, but but no, But that's how
Speaker 1: how could you do that to a poor girl? Okay,
Speaker 1: the poor girl, let me explain how it when so
Speaker 1: back in because I would just ignore her at that point,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, sorry, you don't get the job. Back
Speaker 1: in May was when I was doing my intern interviews
Speaker 1: for the summer. And we have fourteen interns here at
Speaker 1: the radio station that I hire every semester, but specifically
Speaker 1: five for the people that work on the phones at
Speaker 1: your ritza and do post show production. This five morning
Speaker 1: show ish interns. But we have video interns and web
Speaker 1: interns and audio production interns, and we have fourteen total.
Speaker 1: So I only have five slots for the summer, and
Speaker 1: I try to get as many out of town students
Speaker 1: as I can because it's their only semester to intern. Okay,
Speaker 1: and then I have a lot of local people who
Speaker 1: live in the New York area that I I will
Speaker 1: bring back in September if I like. So, I really
Speaker 1: like Deb. Her name is Deb. Great girl, Uh she did.
Speaker 1: I gave a practice assignments, as I do all of
Speaker 1: the applicants. She did a great job with that. She
Speaker 1: had funny stories about her mom that would have been
Speaker 1: gre it with the show. But I had, like, I
Speaker 1: had seven people for five slots, and it took me
Speaker 1: an extra week to look over their experience and look
Speaker 1: over their homework assignment and look over everything and really
Speaker 1: really study what they did. And I narrowed down to
Speaker 1: six and Deb was my was one of the six.
Speaker 1: And then I gun to my head. I had to
Speaker 1: make a decision. I cannot hire six people, right, So
Speaker 1: I said, Deb, you're fantastic, but you know what, you're
Speaker 1: a rising junior. You can always come back next summer,
Speaker 1: because she's said out of town college student. I said,
Speaker 1: but I feel bad because you're so qualified. And we
Speaker 1: had a connection. We we told funny stories. You did
Speaker 1: great homework for me, I said, she said, And so
Speaker 1: she wrote me back and he says, no problem. I
Speaker 1: had a backup plan. I got the other internship at
Speaker 1: a similar situation. Also, I really enjoyed the homework assignment.
Speaker 1: I've had so much fun. We skyped together for the
Speaker 1: interview because she was out of town, and I thought,
Speaker 1: and she said, you know, you know, maybe another time,
Speaker 1: maybe next and next summer. Niceaid, you know what if
Speaker 1: you're in the summer in the city. Anyway, since I
Speaker 1: hadn't met her in the interview it was a skype interview,
Speaker 1: I'd love to meet you if you want to come
Speaker 1: and see the place, see if it's what you want
Speaker 1: to do, come in and meet everyone. And this way
Speaker 1: I get to know her better and see if it's
Speaker 1: something that you'd be interested in. Because I didn't really
Speaker 1: meet her, and sais, oh my god, I listened to
Speaker 1: the show. It would mean so much to me to
Speaker 1: be able to come up that even though I didn't
Speaker 1: get the job. But she's putting herself through torture. Okay,
Speaker 1: the fact that she has in another internship as a backup.
Speaker 1: But even so, your management style is maybe a little
Speaker 1: different than mine. I genuinely relate to and bond with
Speaker 1: the people in intern here, and I felt really bad
Speaker 1: about not giving someone a very qualified and wonderful and
Speaker 1: funny and and a real radio background in college that
Speaker 1: I couldn't fit her in. I tried everything. I couldn't
Speaker 1: make it work. I wanted to put her in another
Speaker 1: radio station in the building. They didn't have an opening.
Speaker 1: I tried everything. They said, you know what this girl deserves,
Speaker 1: if nothing else, to come up and meet the Money
Speaker 1: Show and whatever else. And now we're already kind of
Speaker 1: locked on her in for next summer, and she's thrilled
Speaker 1: about it. Okay, I just at the moment, it just
Speaker 1: looked like here she is for you know, she didn't
Speaker 1: she didn't get the job. She knows she didn't get
Speaker 1: the job, and she's coming in here and she's staring
Speaker 1: at all these interns that did get the job, and
Speaker 1: she's like it's almost just like I don't know, she's
Speaker 1: watching everybody. And speaking of interns, I'm gonna bring one
Speaker 1: in for a quick, quick minute. Come in. Let me
Speaker 1: hold on a second here, Who is this Josh? I
Speaker 1: didn't know we have a button. You didn't know his
Speaker 1: name was Josh. Oh hey, Josh, come in here, put
Speaker 1: headphones on. Letna talk to you. For a minute in
Speaker 1: turn Josh wearing a Stalwars shirt today. Than Josh, how
Speaker 1: you doing, man, Let's sit down, Sit down, be comfortable.
Speaker 1: How are you How long you've been in turning here? Josh?
Speaker 1: I already know the answer, but go ahead. Oh's around
Speaker 1: two months. Two months in year from Syracuse University, and
Speaker 1: I hired you as a summer intern after a skype interview,
Speaker 1: one of the few fortunates that that made it in.
Speaker 1: And this was the only semester you were available because
Speaker 1: you got away to college not near here exactly, okay,
Speaker 1: and your senior going to be a senior. You're right,
Speaker 1: so this is really your only summer to intern with us.
Speaker 1: Now you've been two months. No, actually I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: a junior, so we have a shot. But anyway, but
Speaker 1: then you couldn't come back in September exactly. Now you've
Speaker 1: been here two months. Yes, you're here two days a
Speaker 1: week for two months, exactly. Okay. Um, do you think
Speaker 1: Scary knows your name prior to me just saying your
Speaker 1: name here, you should know your name, right, yeah, because
Speaker 1: I don't work with him, you know, every day I'm here,
Speaker 1: but at least usually once a week so, yeah, you're here.
Speaker 1: It doesn't know your name I had you. Gotta be honest,
Speaker 1: I was waiting for I was wavering on your name.
Speaker 1: It's okay. But here's the thing. Now, No, Josh, this
Speaker 1: semester the way it worked out just coincidentally out of
Speaker 1: the Uh, we have eleven interns on the morning show
Speaker 1: and three at night. I hired say that again for
Speaker 1: the we have we have a we have eleven interns.
Speaker 1: Of the eleven again, we have multiple departments. We have
Speaker 1: the regular morning show people. Josh does audio production with
Speaker 1: baldhead bald bald freed Grannie. He's one of bald interns.
Speaker 1: We have video interns at work with Jake. They all
Speaker 1: work under me specifically, but uh, they all assigned to
Speaker 1: a different group. And then we have Webb in Turns
Speaker 1: at work with Kathleen on elvistran dot com. Right. Now,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. But Josh is the only male intern
Speaker 1: this semesters happened to work, right. But here's here's my
Speaker 1: issue because and this is me from an employer of talking. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have to make yourself stand out somehow. You have
Speaker 1: to because otherwise you're just gonna be part of the pack,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be part of the sheep in a herd,
Speaker 1: and all the sheep look alike and they and I
Speaker 1: don't mean that as a disrespect, but like there's gotta
Speaker 1: be a way to kind of cross over the line,
Speaker 1: to have like a more spirited conversation. That's that that
Speaker 1: you get to show your feathers, you your p like
Speaker 1: I call it pea cocking, like look at me, and
Speaker 1: then you become more memorable. And I don't think I
Speaker 1: think so many people don't do that very well. You
Speaker 1: know who does that? Sarah does that right there. You
Speaker 1: know what, I knew her names? Why did I know
Speaker 1: her name because we had on the air four times.
Speaker 1: But she's also she sticks out and she's like, hey,
Speaker 1: scary okay, let me let me pull the curtain back now.
Speaker 1: And what what scary Jones just said? By the way,
Speaker 1: tweet him at scary Jones okay, s k e er
Speaker 1: y okay. Every hold on every semester, he says, to
Speaker 1: the people in your position whose names he doesn't remember,
Speaker 1: you got a peacock, you got a grandstake. Gotta get
Speaker 1: you name out there. You gotta you gotta show off.
Speaker 1: There's there's two things. Number one, if you show off
Speaker 1: too much. He comes to me and says that intern
Speaker 1: thinks who they are. They're very comfortable right away, and
Speaker 1: I don't like it. They're very they're they're very like
Speaker 1: there's a happy medium, a happy and the other thing
Speaker 1: is And I'll be honest with you, Um, if you're
Speaker 1: a hot girl, that is how you show off you
Speaker 1: peacock by being hot. That's not true. And he'll go, hey,
Speaker 1: who's the No, I don't do that, and I do
Speaker 1: not do that. Stop it. I don't kill you, but
Speaker 1: I should. I should have known your name at this point.
Speaker 1: The only male intern now, by the way, but I
Speaker 1: called If I called in Jake or Rrisa or Um
Speaker 1: or Kathleen, who run the other internship departments who he
Speaker 1: does not work for, they will know. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: They'll know because they work on that side of the glass.
Speaker 1: But if you call in Danielle, Bethany or Greg T,
Speaker 1: none of them will know his name. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why they'll know his name. They will not know. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you why they will know his name because Josh
Speaker 1: works in the studio with Ronnie recording all of your
Speaker 1: commercials and endorsements, and you all record with Josh twice
Speaker 1: a week, who does a great job, by the way,
Speaker 1: And Bethany has come to me and said, Josh is
Speaker 1: really great, He's personable. I like working with it, but
Speaker 1: don't know his name. Do you know how many times
Speaker 1: I've asked people on this show, I'm not gonna call
Speaker 1: on one out, Hey, what's this? What's that in turns
Speaker 1: name over there? I have no clue, Okay, but I'm
Speaker 1: talking specifically about Josh. You said you don't work with him.
Speaker 1: Every time you go to record a commercial on on
Speaker 1: Tuesdays and Thursdays you record with John. Tell you one
Speaker 1: thing is for sure from here on out, I know
Speaker 1: Josh's name because this was that moment. This was the
Speaker 1: moment that was needed. No, no, but I made it
Speaker 1: happen because you work with him. You go into a
Speaker 1: studio and you don't say hi, I'm scary and he's Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Josh. The first two times I met and actually
Speaker 1: never say that actually has the same name as one
Speaker 1: of our show members, Josh coach Boy exactly. So it's
Speaker 1: a name. But people have interns all the time and
Speaker 1: they I mean, have have you ever had another internship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then how did that go? And it was it
Speaker 1: was really small, so there was only a couple other people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so most people knew my name. But my advice is
Speaker 1: more general. No, of course. And I think one of
Speaker 1: the things that I've always like had to work on
Speaker 1: is like I'm not amazing at initiating conversation or like
Speaker 1: initiating like a good conversation. But I'm I could talk forever.
Speaker 1: I could once we start going, I could talk to
Speaker 1: anybody for how long. But it's like one time when
Speaker 1: I started going to Syracuse. You know, you have a
Speaker 1: lot of those mingali sessions. Uh, and my mom would
Speaker 1: be with me and she would start conversations and it
Speaker 1: was always very like cringe worthy, like the moms starting
Speaker 1: to talk to the other moms. But then that's how
Speaker 1: the conversations get initiated. And then I I've met people
Speaker 1: that are actually my friend. You're not a good opener,
Speaker 1: but you're a good volley guy, and you're a good
Speaker 1: clothing Exactly, I can I can carry a conversation and
Speaker 1: close a conversation. Okay, so you have trouble meeting women,
Speaker 1: but once you're there and introduced, you'ry I want to
Speaker 1: bring to the show because Josh is going to Josh
Speaker 1: has had a tumultuous girlfriend situation this semester. I used
Speaker 1: to be like you. By the way, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I was bad at opening. I could never do it,
Speaker 1: I Josh, I swear to guy. I'm like now, girl, Now, girls,
Speaker 1: just open form right. This is famous. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you're not an opener right, and you're someone that
Speaker 1: can continue a conversation, that means that Scary went into
Speaker 1: your studio multiple times and never opened up a conversation,
Speaker 1: never said, Hey, I'm Scary. What's your name? Josh? Hey,
Speaker 1: where do you go to school? And how long is
Speaker 1: it interning here for? And do you work? He could
Speaker 1: have had a conversation. The fact that you go to
Speaker 1: school with Smile and Stephen, one of our all time favorite.
Speaker 1: By the way, Smile and Stephen knew his name from
Speaker 1: the very beginning. I'll never forget it. That's a guy
Speaker 1: whose name is in my head every day. But we
Speaker 1: had him on the air and Elvison, Hey, come in, Stephen,
Speaker 1: tell us your story. It wasn't that Steven went up
Speaker 1: to him and said, Hi, I'm Stevens. You need to
Speaker 1: get noticed. You need to do something to get on
Speaker 1: the air with us. Quick punch punch scary next time.
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, is it better to be
Speaker 1: a better an opener, a volley guy, or a closer.
Speaker 1: I honestly think that you could be a great opener
Speaker 1: and then volley the conversation, but be bad at closing
Speaker 1: and if you can't close the deal, you're fucked. Yeah, yeah, okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: said Josh, I don't want to talk about your pros
Speaker 1: and cons list here, but Josh made a pros and
Speaker 1: cons list, and I disagree with some of the things
Speaker 1: on the list. I also disagree with the decision he made.
Speaker 1: I feel like, and we can talk about this in
Speaker 1: a future podcast. I feel like he wrote the pros
Speaker 1: and cons list knowing already he was going pro even
Speaker 1: though the con list is much more substantial, and anyone
Speaker 1: looking at it that wasn't the guy writing the list
Speaker 1: would have gone con the hallway. Really, so I think,
Speaker 1: I think, I think my topic is gonna be and
Speaker 1: maybe if you have the balls, will read your list
Speaker 1: on the podcast and maybe on the big show on
Speaker 1: the other straight morning show. Is that I think if
Speaker 1: he really looked at it or someone else looked at it,
Speaker 1: you'd go con all the way. Okay, Well, and I
Speaker 1: think it was it was a decision he made. Okay,
Speaker 1: he made a list of he needed to make a decision.
Speaker 1: He was thinking about a life choice. Okay, let's just
Speaker 1: say it isn't what it was. But let's say it
Speaker 1: was whether or not to buy to buy to buy
Speaker 1: a television, to buy a television or not. Okay, it
Speaker 1: wasn't that. It was something more life altering. And he
Speaker 1: made a list of why I should buy the TV
Speaker 1: and why I shouldn't buy the TV. And the list
Speaker 1: of reasons to buy a TV was very like, I
Speaker 1: like TV. I've always had a TV, and the con
Speaker 1: list was TV's caused me to have seizures, like and
Speaker 1: so looking at this, he should have been like, dude,
Speaker 1: don't get the TV. You'll have a sea shore. But
Speaker 1: he was like, I need something to hang on my wall,
Speaker 1: Like that's really what it came did, And You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna bring this to the show. I think,
Speaker 1: either the main show and we'll recap it here, or
Speaker 1: we'll do it in both places, all right, But I
Speaker 1: don't want to ambush him now if he's are you
Speaker 1: willing to do it next time? Probably? I'd like to
Speaker 1: see the list? Could I see the list? You wrote
Speaker 1: the list? Bro, I don't remember. You might want to
Speaker 1: take another look at that list. I'm gonna take a
Speaker 1: look at the list, and but it should be fine.
Speaker 1: Just know one I know can hear about this. Okay,
Speaker 1: So no one Josh knows. Please don't listen to this
Speaker 1: podcast if you know. Josh turned the podcast off. Next
Speaker 1: time we're on. Okay, thank you, Jordan. It's a pleasure
Speaker 1: meeting you. All right, Thanks Josh. So uh, I was
Speaker 1: on my way up here in the elevator and I
Speaker 1: got blamed for something. I think I got blamed for
Speaker 1: something that I didn't do. And how do you get
Speaker 1: out of this? Okay, I'm gonna say that. So I
Speaker 1: want people listening. Once you hear this story, relate to it,
Speaker 1: but also think what a great story to get out
Speaker 1: of it if you actually were guilty. Go ahead, Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Ready. I was in the I get
Speaker 1: I get on the elevator on on the lobby floor.
Speaker 1: It reeked the elevator. Somebody farted in the elevator and left,
Speaker 1: but the elevator was empty, so I couldn't blame anybody.
Speaker 1: I just walked in the elevator on the ground floor.
Speaker 1: I had to come up to the third floor. It
Speaker 1: stops on the second floor. Somebody gets in and the
Speaker 1: stink was still there, and I'm like, ship, this person
Speaker 1: is freaking thinking that I just farted in the elevator.
Speaker 1: And then I get and then the third floor I
Speaker 1: get off. That person stays on. They were going up higher.
Speaker 1: I didn't know who the person was. So the point is,
Speaker 1: how do I, I must look at him, idiot to
Speaker 1: this person? How do you How would you even would
Speaker 1: I make a stupid comment? Would I'd be like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that reads anything you say? You look guilty.
Speaker 1: There's two ways out of that. What's wait number one?
Speaker 1: Because I I swear to God I did not do it.
Speaker 1: I walked into it on the ground floor, second floor,
Speaker 1: the very next floor, so the doors open up, someone
Speaker 1: comes in. If you walked into an elevator that didn't stink,
Speaker 1: that elevator would not have stopped it too. It's the universe. Fuck,
Speaker 1: it's Mury Murphy's law. Murphy's law, right, So here's what
Speaker 1: I would say, because I've had this situation, you have
Speaker 1: two options. It also happens in the men's room here. Now,
Speaker 1: our bathroom is down the hall from us, but right
Speaker 1: across from the classic rock station. Okay, and so if
Speaker 1: anyone's coming from here, you've got time because you know
Speaker 1: it takes like at least forty seconds to walk down there.
Speaker 1: But if the guys come from the rock station the
Speaker 1: minute you walk in, they might be that twenty seconds later. Right.
Speaker 1: If you walk in and it stinks and they walk
Speaker 1: in way, that is that is one of your options.
Speaker 1: Option one is to go, oh no and walk right out.
Speaker 1: And that's what you should have done on the elevators,
Speaker 1: because we have eight elevators. The minute you walked into
Speaker 1: to the to the stink room, right, you should have.
Speaker 1: You should gotten right off that thing because and but
Speaker 1: the probably is the problem. If you get on it
Speaker 1: and you get off because it stinks, and somebody sees
Speaker 1: you get off, they're gonna know you did it. The
Speaker 1: other option is to pull your shirt over your face
Speaker 1: and go like this so it looks like you're as
Speaker 1: annoyed as anyone would be. Oh my god, that's great,
Speaker 1: that's my move. I walk out, coughing, like, oh God,
Speaker 1: don't go in there, because that's my way of saying
Speaker 1: I got hit with it too. It wasn't me Without no,
Speaker 1: I'll go, oh my god, don't go in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then they'll be assumed like why what did you do? No? No,
Speaker 1: I make it look like I'm so offended by it.
Speaker 1: Because if you stink up the place, you don't cover
Speaker 1: your face with the shirt. It's your stink. You know it.
Speaker 1: You get used to it. It's your it's your it's
Speaker 1: your perfume. Right, so you go blew up that toilet,
Speaker 1: but you don't cover your face. It's your it's your
Speaker 1: toilet shards. But if you cover your face and walk
Speaker 1: out and your hands are dry, you didn't wash your hands,
Speaker 1: You're like about face. You just don't go in there, dude,
Speaker 1: somebody destroyed it, and then you could blame somebody. You go,
Speaker 1: I saw I do. It's that guy from the AM station,
Speaker 1: like blaming you walked out here little while ago. Blame somebody,
Speaker 1: but the elevator things tricky, But yeah, yeah, you're screwed.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Um, I've gotten off. Like if I'm
Speaker 1: going like the tenth floor and I get on a
Speaker 1: stinky elevator and the doors closed. I'll get off at
Speaker 1: like three and jump off rather than get caught, because
Speaker 1: if you're going to like the tenth floor, that's eight
Speaker 1: options of people stopping you. And no, no no, that's too
Speaker 1: risky right there. Yeah, I figured no one's gonna catch
Speaker 1: this because I'm only going up three floors. But sure enough,
Speaker 1: second floor. Okay. By the way, there's an example of
Speaker 1: my brain. When I said you're getting on in the
Speaker 1: first floor, you're getting off the tenth floor. I said,
Speaker 1: there's eight options to get caught in the middle. I
Speaker 1: didn't have to think about how many. I knew it
Speaker 1: was a your brain is lightning. Yeah, but and I'm
Speaker 1: only pointing it out for the sake of the conversation.
Speaker 1: But it gets me in trouble all the time because
Speaker 1: again you asked me about my wife. She'll say things
Speaker 1: like can you wait till I finished? And my answer
Speaker 1: is I really it, I'm trying. I'm trying anyway work it. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's so you had this problem with the bathroom
Speaker 1: that was not more than twenty minutes ago. Do you
Speaker 1: want my so you and I have we have a
Speaker 1: problem on the show because of current music and I
Speaker 1: have a bone to pick with you. And then I
Speaker 1: have a problem I had with customer service. Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: save that for last. I mean, cheez, I mean every
Speaker 1: every podcast has to have a customer service. I have
Speaker 1: a customer service as you too. But please the floor
Speaker 1: recognizes David Brodie. Okay. So first of all, with current music,
Speaker 1: we started making fun of DJ Kalin, who we love
Speaker 1: Ja Kalin. At the beginning of every song he says,
Speaker 1: he says, go ahead, d Jack Kellen, that's one, and
Speaker 1: he says were the best music, which is his record label, right,
Speaker 1: and then he says major key right, and then he
Speaker 1: says another one right. Those are like his four go
Speaker 1: to four not five. Right of every song that you've
Speaker 1: ever heard, he always says those, by the way, the
Speaker 1: latest song wild thoughts he has like treat he's got
Speaker 1: to get him in the very beginning, all all four
Speaker 1: of them in a row. No, but by the way,
Speaker 1: see you said that he's got five things. He's got
Speaker 1: he's got to spit them all out at the very
Speaker 1: beginning because he's got to get it out of his system,
Speaker 1: because he figures got to get him in in the
Speaker 1: first right to the track. So one of the things
Speaker 1: he says is another one, right. So we we've been
Speaker 1: saying in the room and something's like, oh, Scary's going
Speaker 1: back from another hot dog, we go another one, and
Speaker 1: now it's become like, oh another pen or or if
Speaker 1: we do something well, we're like, we're the best phone taps.
Speaker 1: So we've been using his phrases in conversation all the
Speaker 1: time and it's getting out of hand. It really is.
Speaker 1: So where did where does it end? Does it reach
Speaker 1: a I don't know, Like Greg t City was going
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. You're like, oh, he's taking another one,
Speaker 1: another one, but it's gonna die out another fan like
Speaker 1: Dann Daniel. It's sort of like and yeah, they you
Speaker 1: going with the white vans, right, I mean that we
Speaker 1: we went on like about a month of at and
Speaker 1: then that ended, and then more recently it was it
Speaker 1: was by Felicia Like last year was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: you just did another analogy one right? Another example another
Speaker 1: one right? So so like this too shall pass David Brodie.
Speaker 1: So I feel like maybe the episode three we started
Speaker 1: with another podcast were the best podcast? Were the best podcast?
Speaker 1: Now is Kali gonna sue He's from you know, he's
Speaker 1: in listening distance. He he listens to the show. If
Speaker 1: he did, he'd be a major D. Major D. Took
Speaker 1: me a second to come up with that. I got
Speaker 1: you just a second though, because you're lightning fast man. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that so I got that out of the way. Um.
Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to mention was, Okay, so
Speaker 1: I want to I want to now come correct on you,
Speaker 1: come correct, Come correct. You have a thing. I know
Speaker 1: you're trying very hard, and I know you mean well.
Speaker 1: I don't look at the things I eat. I know
Speaker 1: things are either really bad or they're not really bad.
Speaker 1: So I love Chinese food. I know it's not the healthiest.
Speaker 1: And because I don't need vegetables. I know people can
Speaker 1: go you can order but on MSG and you can
Speaker 1: order out oil like I don't care. I order often
Speaker 1: menu the unhealthy way. And that's really the point of
Speaker 1: my conversation. Scary is you're trying very hard, but I
Speaker 1: feel like it's for the wrong reasons, and it's I
Speaker 1: think you do it for the image of doing it
Speaker 1: and because you want to face Snapchat and Instagram pictures
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, what do you get? You research food?
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you go shopping. You will look for non GMOs,
Speaker 1: although I don't think you know what a GMO is
Speaker 1: or why it's bad. You look for fair trade, although
Speaker 1: I don't think you truly know what fair trade means.
Speaker 1: You look for the butterfly logo, which I don't think
Speaker 1: you really know what the butterfly logo means. You look
Speaker 1: for gluten. You look for gluten free. You don't have
Speaker 1: a gluten problem, so there's no reason to do that.
Speaker 1: There's the biggest one. Gluten has nothing to do it
Speaker 1: with uh, with taste or calories, or you look for
Speaker 1: the green and white U. S d A organics. You
Speaker 1: also look for organic and uh we got a case
Speaker 1: of someone sent up hamburgers or something. You're like organic
Speaker 1: and then you didn't take the grass fed a grass
Speaker 1: fed right corn fed? Okay, I've been watching as lately
Speaker 1: and I love Doctor Forget About, but he's about the chickens.
Speaker 1: The chickens are air chilled is the way to go,
Speaker 1: and not and fed a vegetarian diet with no antibiotics
Speaker 1: and of cage free and all that page free free range.
Speaker 1: They were running around, they're running around having a great time.
Speaker 1: They're still gonna get palmed and putting my stomach. So
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that's great if that's really who
Speaker 1: you are, a picture chicken walking around with cheese on
Speaker 1: its face. If you're someone that eats kosher or as
Speaker 1: a vegetarian, you do that, that's your life. But you
Speaker 1: don't go, I'm a vegetarian. I keep kosher, right, if
Speaker 1: you don't know the rules of kosher, if you're Jewish,
Speaker 1: would kee kosher? Pork is something you're not supposed to eat, right.
Speaker 1: You can't keep kosher when you go shopping and then
Speaker 1: when someone brings up spare ribs and pork up here,
Speaker 1: you go, oh, pork, I gotta have it, because then
Speaker 1: you're not really keeping kosher. So you you live this
Speaker 1: life when you go to the grocery and then you
Speaker 1: come and go, oh, I got this great GMO free
Speaker 1: fair tray, bottle of pan. I only buy organic apples.
Speaker 1: Apples have to be organic. Right, do you know why?
Speaker 1: You know the difference in organic and regular? Exactly my point? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what the difference is a pound? Okay, so
Speaker 1: you don't correct me. I know that this benefits whatever,
Speaker 1: But the point is Skiery doesn't know the benefits are right,
Speaker 1: and that's great if that's who you are you want
Speaker 1: to be, But I feel like you should know what
Speaker 1: fair trade means and why it's important. Hold on. But
Speaker 1: when we get food up here at the radio station,
Speaker 1: which is almost every day, you run out for donuts
Speaker 1: and eat six of them. You run out for the
Speaker 1: ribs and have three plates. You eat the crappiest oh
Speaker 1: mac and cheese with cheese sauce and hamburgers. Because I'm
Speaker 1: a foodie man, but like good stuff. But if I
Speaker 1: know a great restaurant is coming and then it's got
Speaker 1: like high ratings and stuff and I love it, I
Speaker 1: have to call bullshit because because okay, because this this
Speaker 1: food has GMOs. It's unfair trade. It's it's gluten mania
Speaker 1: running wild. Here's the thing, and it's unorganic. But it's delicious.
Speaker 1: When I went through my my somewhat transformation, right where
Speaker 1: I lost, I went to the dr fat loss. And
Speaker 1: by the way, the listeners who followed these podcasts know
Speaker 1: about that because we talked about it. I I go
Speaker 1: through my weight fluctuations, I'm not I am nowhere near
Speaker 1: where I was when I was at and you good,
Speaker 1: and I've never I've always maintained, so I've I've been
Speaker 1: I've been a roller coaster of weight within within the
Speaker 1: means of my January to December diet. But I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about eating healthy. If you want to come and
Speaker 1: have a salad or eat an apple. In the mind
Speaker 1: of the reason why I don't look like I did
Speaker 1: back in two thousand thirteen is because I've been able
Speaker 1: to control what's in my space when I go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store, control what's going on in my apartment
Speaker 1: and my head. And one of the things we learned
Speaker 1: from from weight Watchers when we we did it a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago is if you have healthy food
Speaker 1: when you want to go for a snack, if the
Speaker 1: apples already cut up, you don't have to like, say,
Speaker 1: who wants to cut up an apple or whatever? If
Speaker 1: if the food is already prepared in containers, great, and
Speaker 1: if it's healthy. If you always have a healthy snack
Speaker 1: or a bowl of fruit, it's great. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about what you eat in terms of the actual I'm
Speaker 1: talking about You are not thinner because you eat an
Speaker 1: organic apple. You are not thinner because you're saying not
Speaker 1: to healthier because Okay, the fact that the chicken was
Speaker 1: running around the field before they cut its head off
Speaker 1: is not why you're thinner. It's the fact that you
Speaker 1: paid nine dollars at Whole Foods rather than four dollars
Speaker 1: at Whole Foods for like, you know, shop write brand
Speaker 1: chicken breast, which tastes the same. Once you palm it
Speaker 1: and grill it and fry it, you're you're you're you.
Speaker 1: You look better. But it's not because you do this
Speaker 1: thing to make yourself. Just feel that their trade. How
Speaker 1: does I'm doing a healthier thing for myself if I
Speaker 1: buy like, let's just say, you know, the the ohs
Speaker 1: that look like that look like cheerios, but they're not
Speaker 1: because they have higher fiber of your fiber intake is
Speaker 1: less sugar, and it's it's not made with milled corn
Speaker 1: or whatever. And and meanwhile, the big box stores and
Speaker 1: the big brands, they tend to have a tendency. So
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you higher sodium, more sugar, and higher
Speaker 1: and lower if you look at first of all, if
Speaker 1: you look at a box cheerios, they're part of a
Speaker 1: heart healthy diet. Thank you, not a sponsor. Second of all,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you want to if you want to
Speaker 1: eat a more healthy version of a cereal, it's not
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I'm saying that you're looking for
Speaker 1: cereal that's fair trade, because that's the catch catchphrase, the
Speaker 1: buzzwords fair trade. Okay, I'll give you. I'll give you
Speaker 1: the example of where with my kick right now with
Speaker 1: coffee beans. I brought in my own coffee beans because
Speaker 1: I found this brand that has fair trade organic coffee beans,
Speaker 1: and I've replaced the beans inside of our coffee maker
Speaker 1: inside there because we have a we have a maker
Speaker 1: that crushes the beans on the spot and give you
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. I replaced those because on Dr
Speaker 1: Oz I saw no, no, it's true, Brodie easily, I'm
Speaker 1: laughing that obviously, aside from oil, like coffee is like
Speaker 1: the biggest crop in the world. It's like one of
Speaker 1: the biggest money making crops. It's you know, it's up there.
Speaker 1: So it also happens to be it all. Coffee also
Speaker 1: happens to be the most um the crop with the
Speaker 1: most um sprays and stuff to keep to keep the
Speaker 1: crop good. Like what what do they put it when
Speaker 1: they call they put all these like yeah, so coffee,
Speaker 1: coffee beans are covered littered with with all these pesticides
Speaker 1: and stuff some companies. Right, So, so I'm figured, I'm
Speaker 1: putting all these chemicals into my all these chemicals are
Speaker 1: getting into my system. I'm drinking it daily, and I
Speaker 1: drink coffee more than anything else. I gotta change. I
Speaker 1: gotta do something for myself here. And if every once
Speaker 1: in a while, I have a cup of coffee that
Speaker 1: is not organic, so be it. But the ones the
Speaker 1: coffee in my power that I'm controlling that I'm drinking
Speaker 1: in my possession every day, I'm trying to put organic
Speaker 1: in there. What's why is it that My point is
Speaker 1: you shouldn't not have organic? You're saying that, I say,
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm I'm saying you're you're you're a fake,
Speaker 1: your poser, you're a vegetat. You a vegetatce you have
Speaker 1: vegetarian until the poll chops show up, and then you're
Speaker 1: all about the poll chop. You're you're thinking that my
Speaker 1: mo is because you or your gmo. My gmo is
Speaker 1: because it looks cool, right, because it's like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: all image. I think it's just trendy. It's trendy. There
Speaker 1: you go. That's the word that I was sick for
Speaker 1: you to. Six months ago you were preaching about no
Speaker 1: GMOs and I said, what's a GMO? And you didn't
Speaker 1: know six months ago it's a genetically modified yes, but
Speaker 1: six months ago you heard it was we should be
Speaker 1: you know, staying away from it. So you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm off of it, but but what but you know what?
Speaker 1: You know what else is genetically modified? Seedless? Watermelon? Yeah, watermelon?
Speaker 1: I hate it, you know what? I love watermelon? And
Speaker 1: then no seeds. Now, first of all, I missed the
Speaker 1: spinning of the seeds. I get that. But you're trying
Speaker 1: to say that it's GMO watermelon the best look. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get into a GMO debates. Not what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm saying sometimes if you could make um
Speaker 1: twenty five pound pumpkin into a fifty pound pumpkin and
Speaker 1: more people can eat, and scientists who don't make money
Speaker 1: off of sales of produce before you get conspiracy theory
Speaker 1: on me, um, that might be a good thing. It
Speaker 1: might not. What I'm saying is you do it a
Speaker 1: little bit and you brag about it a lot. But
Speaker 1: then you don't mention when you're stuffing down the uh,
Speaker 1: the pastries and the cakes and the you know, the
Speaker 1: fat trade thannyway. That's my that's my beef. I think
Speaker 1: you should live by it, do it all the time. Now,
Speaker 1: now we have competing customer service, you go first, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna can I share your music? I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what can I do a short customer service. Then you
Speaker 1: go your big one and I'll come in with the
Speaker 1: big But it is, but let's talk about the problems.
Speaker 1: Not music on our podcast should be used for consumer
Speaker 1: customer service. So I'm not gonna get too much into it,
Speaker 1: but I want you to go to Albastan dot com
Speaker 1: and read my blog that's up right now. Right we're
Speaker 1: recording this on August three, Yeah, so right around the
Speaker 1: August three it should be up here. It says the
Speaker 1: Brody blog, but we all write blogs. Shovis rand dot
Speaker 1: com and I talked about how I wanted two bluetoothbrushes
Speaker 1: from Amazon because the pictures showed two blue toothbrushes from
Speaker 1: Oral being bluetooth brush right, not to brush blueteeth toothbrushes
Speaker 1: that are blue tooth toothbrushes that are blue in your ear. No, hello,
Speaker 1: it's a toothbrush that's blue, not a bluetooth brush. To
Speaker 1: brush from bluetooth. I'm taking a bluetooth a brush that comes.
Speaker 1: By the way, I like the bluetooth pieces. I don't
Speaker 1: care if people go to look stupid in my car.
Speaker 1: I prefer to use the bluetooth, even though my car
Speaker 1: has no I like to hear the radio and when
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone. Okay, right, so he's talking about
Speaker 1: a right, so toothbrush that's colored blue. Well, yeah, so
Speaker 1: the handles are blue. I love blue. I'm obsessed with
Speaker 1: Well I go to the read the blog, but the
Speaker 1: bottom line is and I love Amazon. I'm a prime member.
Speaker 1: I pointed out in the blog. I think. I think
Speaker 1: it's very amusing. People have really responded to it. I
Speaker 1: got one. I ordered two pack is I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: this Because a lot of them say colors may vary,
Speaker 1: this one did not. It showed the blue ones and
Speaker 1: when I searched for blue, it showed up in my search. Um. And,
Speaker 1: by the way, Amazon one of the greatest websites and
Speaker 1: companies ever, their search functionality is the worst because if
Speaker 1: you search for like, oh, stereo, you'll get headphones, you'll
Speaker 1: get everything that isn't right, and you can search relevant
Speaker 1: and you can search price, but you can't search price relevant.
Speaker 1: So if you search lowest, the highest you get like
Speaker 1: bubble gum, like I don't want I want the cheapest stereo.
Speaker 1: So they didn't show up blue mean geez listen, I'll
Speaker 1: lend this podcast right now. I can see what people
Speaker 1: leave you. So I didn't get blue bluetoothbrushes. The two
Speaker 1: packages arrived blue gray and blue gray one, blue one
Speaker 1: gray one, and so I returned them. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Long story short, I didn't get satisfaction. Read the blog podcast,
Speaker 1: and in a week or two, on like episode five
Speaker 1: of I'll read it on on here and you, and
Speaker 1: then I want listeners to tell me if I'm crazy
Speaker 1: or not, or if you read it on all this
Speaker 1: tran dot com tweets and let us know if we're
Speaker 1: crazy or not. And we'll read some of your responses
Speaker 1: next week. And I'll read my blog next week on
Speaker 1: episode four, episode three, I'll read it, but I want
Speaker 1: you to go read it elvis rand dot com and
Speaker 1: let me know what you think. Um. And then if
Speaker 1: you want to tweet us, that's great. And if you
Speaker 1: want to email, what's the email. It's the Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 1: podcast at gmail dot com. Yeah, and you and scary
Speaker 1: I'll print about and we'll read them next week. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now what's your customer service? Hit the music? So
Speaker 1: you guys know like grubhub and seamless, and those are
Speaker 1: the the order to your house food right, So restaurants
Speaker 1: that don't deliver, yeah, they have an app. These companies
Speaker 1: will go to those restaurants, grab the food and bring
Speaker 1: them to your house. Right. That's part of big city living.
Speaker 1: That's what we do. I mean if you're living in
Speaker 1: a rural area, you might not have a rural area.
Speaker 1: It would be like you order a cow, they shoot
Speaker 1: it and they bring it to your eyes exactly, or
Speaker 1: a deer exactly. Yeah, uh mail ordered deer anyway? Point
Speaker 1: is I order something off of delivery dot com. Okay,
Speaker 1: I wanted to order from delivery dot com. I did
Speaker 1: that once. Well, now ever since they've been giving me
Speaker 1: these these messages like every other day, hey ten percent off,
Speaker 1: hey off, Oh my god, your next meal? Well I
Speaker 1: got a fifty offf that's half off a meal that's huge.
Speaker 1: So I said, all right, I'm gonna order from delivery
Speaker 1: dot Com tonight. So I go to my favorite Chinese restaurant.
Speaker 1: I started putting all this stuff in my shopping cart,
Speaker 1: and it's loading up, loading up, because I figured, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be brody here and I'm gonna just order
Speaker 1: as much as they possibly counts. Put everything in my fridge,
Speaker 1: and just eat for the next week. Right, I don't
Speaker 1: care if I have left overs. Fill up the cart.
Speaker 1: Come to the part where it says enter promo code.
Speaker 1: So I copied and pasted the promo code from the email,
Speaker 1: and it said promo code expired. Now, like, wait a second.
Speaker 1: I got this email at eleven o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: yesterday and it said you have one day left now.
Speaker 1: Eleven am the day before is when the email came in.
Speaker 1: It says one day left. What does that mean, Brodie?
Speaker 1: It means you have the next day, the entire day
Speaker 1: of the next that's correct, the whole day. Apparently the
Speaker 1: promo code expired because I ordered God Forbid, I ordered
Speaker 1: dinner at four thirty in the afternoon the next day.
Speaker 1: But apparently the twenty four hours from that email had expired,
Speaker 1: so that ship was only good to lunchtime, and I
Speaker 1: inspired four hours before. So I'm like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: tomorrow is inclusive of the entire business day. In my mind,
Speaker 1: I that promo code should have been good through dinner
Speaker 1: time at least, right because it said you have one
Speaker 1: more day because to me, the day having it should
Speaker 1: have said a time and a date. But it didn't. No,
Speaker 1: it didn't have an expiration date. It just said you
Speaker 1: have one day left on this promo code at eleven
Speaker 1: am on when on Tuesday I ordered at four pm
Speaker 1: on Thursday. How is that not within the day? Well,
Speaker 1: because because most people ordered dinner on the app. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they met the meeting like twenty four hours
Speaker 1: from right now? This is expired. Did you call them?
Speaker 1: I emailed them and what they say? They wrote back
Speaker 1: to me and they said, thank you for contacting us
Speaker 1: at delivery dot com. Please contact us directly to discuss
Speaker 1: the issue in question. And then and then they gave
Speaker 1: me a phone number which led to nowhere. The phone
Speaker 1: number is disconnected. It's not even the right phone number
Speaker 1: for this service. I'm so angry, you know. And they're
Speaker 1: local to their local to New York. I was, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to put this out there, to this delivery
Speaker 1: there to me. They you know, they can do right
Speaker 1: by me very easily. But why couldn't they just issue
Speaker 1: me credit right there in the email? Why couldn't they
Speaker 1: Why you know, why do they need me to call
Speaker 1: them and discuss further? What is they discuss? I put
Speaker 1: it out there, Give me a freaking credit, give me something,
Speaker 1: give me of my next order. That's all I'm looking for. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, what would Brody do w W B D.
Speaker 1: I would relentlessly keep on them until they honored the coupon.
Speaker 1: This is difference between me and you. I've already given up.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, don't give up. Um. I
Speaker 1: would insist on a discount. I would insist on a refund.
Speaker 1: There was the refund to give. Because I didn't want
Speaker 1: to anything, I left. You know what I did just despite,
Speaker 1: I left the cart full. I copy and pasted it,
Speaker 1: and I put it in a cart and seamless and
Speaker 1: got fIF off my my my dinner, and I went
Speaker 1: to see which is their competitor. Okay, now listen, I
Speaker 1: want to use delivery dot Com. I've used them before.
Speaker 1: They've been great. They also do have laundry, you can
Speaker 1: get alcohol. But I have better customers. I would because
Speaker 1: I'm a little obsessive. I would probably call seven or
Speaker 1: eight restaurants that use was delivery dot com and tell
Speaker 1: him I was going to place in order with you,
Speaker 1: but delivery dot com sucks. Yeah, But I don't want
Speaker 1: to be that guy though, I'm like, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to listen. This isn't about trying to like. No, I'm surprised.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that yelled reviewer that ships
Speaker 1: on a restaurant because I got bad service that one
Speaker 1: time and I wanted to give him one start. You
Speaker 1: know what, I I listen, I'm not that guy. I
Speaker 1: don't like using my Twitter and my followers. You have
Speaker 1: a lot of followers. I have a decent amount of
Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't even put it on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: mentioned politely, you know how the mob does. I hate
Speaker 1: for something to happen to your business. You know, I
Speaker 1: I said to one company, I said, I have a
Speaker 1: I have a lot of social media followers, and I
Speaker 1: would love great company like yours to say something positive
Speaker 1: about your company would go a long way. I would
Speaker 1: love to just say I had a great experience, but
Speaker 1: I'm not able to do that because you didn't do
Speaker 1: the right thing. This is poor customer service. And so
Speaker 1: I would say, you certainly wouldn't want a bad review
Speaker 1: in social media, and I would, you know, tag the account,
Speaker 1: which I did. I did that to one account and
Speaker 1: they direct message me and said I was so sorry,
Speaker 1: how can we help you? And through Twitter they fixed
Speaker 1: the problem, but the presson on the phone did not.
Speaker 1: So sometimes using social media they immediately they immediately called
Speaker 1: me an help me. And now the company is having
Speaker 1: the problem with what can we send you for free?
Speaker 1: What can we do? It's nice, but you see, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to you shouldn't. But now I'm going to
Speaker 1: go take that extra step and I'm gonna actually they
Speaker 1: give they finally, I said, your numbers just connected. They
Speaker 1: give you another phone number. I'm gonna call them to
Speaker 1: should but what do I tell them give me my
Speaker 1: fifty off like you hold them? Or do I wait
Speaker 1: for them to make a jest? You should say you
Speaker 1: guys were gracious enough to give me this fifty percent coupon.
Speaker 1: I'm a loyal customer and I've got many coupons. I've
Speaker 1: used his service. You can check my account. I love
Speaker 1: you guys, but it's a little misleading and disappointing that
Speaker 1: might I was rewarded for my service by being given
Speaker 1: a fifty percent coupon, right as a good customer, you
Speaker 1: gave me this thing, and I feel like I didn't
Speaker 1: get to use it because of non specific terminology. There
Speaker 1: you go, that's the word I was looking for, and
Speaker 1: you have one day left. I didn't know that one
Speaker 1: day meant one day from eleven am, and I, as
Speaker 1: a customer, made in what I thought was an honest
Speaker 1: decision to use it within the day. It was not
Speaker 1: the same terminology you use. There's no way for me
Speaker 1: to know that as a consumer. Going forward, you should
Speaker 1: probably change that and make it more obvious. But in
Speaker 1: this case, I'd like you to make an exception so
Speaker 1: I can continue to be a wonderful customer and tell
Speaker 1: all my friends and you social media. That's so. That's
Speaker 1: how you get your free desert, David Brodie. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: have to be nice about it. If not, calm up
Speaker 1: and scream, what is it? What do they say? You
Speaker 1: catch more flies? You catch more bees? Right now, sitting
Speaker 1: here listening to you. I was going to talk about
Speaker 1: the car dealership I had the problem with, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to do that, but sitting here, I look and
Speaker 1: I'm looking here. On my piece of paper, I wrote
Speaker 1: down three other problems I've had with through the company,
Speaker 1: another problem. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going
Speaker 1: to save those three for episode three, right, because we
Speaker 1: have way too much, because we could do a whole pod.
Speaker 1: But I would like to talk about how I actually
Speaker 1: lost my temper and got Brooklyn on the person I
Speaker 1: called I needed help. So here's the situation to me.
Speaker 1: I have owned many cars in my life, and everyone
Speaker 1: has been an American car. Now some of them are
Speaker 1: put together in Mexico or Canada. But I've only owned Oldsmobile, Dodge, Ford, Chrysler,
Speaker 1: I've only owned uh Pontiac. I've only owned American brand cars. Okay,
Speaker 1: and you come to expect certain things. I finally bought
Speaker 1: a foreign car that may may not have been assembled
Speaker 1: in America, but it's a foreign company, doesn't matter which one.
Speaker 1: And so the booklet that it comes with, although written
Speaker 1: in English, doesn't seem to be written the way an
Speaker 1: American owners manual should be written, Now, when you wanna,
Speaker 1: for instance, set the garage door opener buttons, you would
Speaker 1: think if you open the manual, it would be under
Speaker 1: garage door openers under g y No. I thought maybe
Speaker 1: it's under instrument instrument cluster. No, it was not. It
Speaker 1: was it was list under UM. I don't even remember,
Speaker 1: but it was not under garage door openers, door openers nothing.
Speaker 1: I had to go on YouTube and see a video
Speaker 1: of how to program the garage door openers because they
Speaker 1: will unlike any American car vone where they're all the same. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we had to get our first oil change. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: And it's my wife's car and she says to me,
Speaker 1: do I need regular oil? Is synthetic on the car?
Speaker 1: Because I can't find it in the owner's manual. I said, well,
Speaker 1: let me look. I look at the owner's manual and
Speaker 1: it says choose a motor oil with this viscosity, right,
Speaker 1: But it doesn't clearly say under oil on the oil
Speaker 1: changes the type of oil or whether or not you
Speaker 1: need synthetic or not. Okay, I looked. I googled it,
Speaker 1: because that's what you do. If you can't see you
Speaker 1: just google it. No, listings on Google for what type
Speaker 1: of oil does this car with a turbo do? So,
Speaker 1: I said, look, I don't want to give the wrong information.
Speaker 1: I have never owned a car that was mandatorially synthetic.
Speaker 1: And when you use synthetic oil, it's a lot more money. Now,
Speaker 1: it lasts longer, but it's a lot more money. And
Speaker 1: if you go to a dealership like an oil place,
Speaker 1: instead of thirty five dollars, it's eighty five. But if
Speaker 1: you go to Walmart and buy the oil, it's like
Speaker 1: ten dollars more. There's no excuse. They rip you off.
Speaker 1: They screw you with the oil change. I'm gonna jump
Speaker 1: to the end. You actually but I'm also but I'm
Speaker 1: also a storyteller and I like to give details. Now,
Speaker 1: I went to my mechanic, who I have a local
Speaker 1: guy in the neighborhood. He brought the oil of Walmart
Speaker 1: for twenty bucks. Love Walmart put it in for twenty
Speaker 1: cost me forty five dollars. I gave him a tim
Speaker 1: So forty five bucks is a great okay, But I
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know at the time. I couldn't find
Speaker 1: it online. Does this car absolutely requires synthetic? So I
Speaker 1: called up the dealership. What did they say? Now when
Speaker 1: you call the dealership, he's got a piece of paper
Speaker 1: in front of him. Everybody, when when you call up
Speaker 1: the dealer, show you push like three for service. So
Speaker 1: I get the main receptionist and I say, uh, is
Speaker 1: this service? No? What do you need? So I I
Speaker 1: want to phrase the question. I'm calling about my car.
Speaker 1: I have a question about the oil. Now, if this
Speaker 1: was service, I would have said, I have a question
Speaker 1: as to whether or not I need synthetic in the
Speaker 1: car you sold me. I just want to know. I
Speaker 1: should have asked when I bought it, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: I think it's in the owner's manual. Okay. So I say,
Speaker 1: I'm calling because I have a question about the type
Speaker 1: of oil it goes in my car, figuring she'll transfer
Speaker 1: me to the person to answer that question. She's hold
Speaker 1: on those hold on please, And I hadn't finished my thought.
Speaker 1: I figured you can put me into service. She comes
Speaker 1: back and she says regular. I said, excuse me, it
Speaker 1: takes regular I said, um, what do you mean regular?
Speaker 1: It takes regular gas? So I said, I'm sorry I
Speaker 1: didn't ask you if it took regular gas. I've owned
Speaker 1: the car for two months now, I had better know
Speaker 1: it takes regular gas. I know I didn't buy a
Speaker 1: diesel engine car, so my only options are you know, premium, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know it takes regular gas. I didn't ask you
Speaker 1: that this is this is becoming a bad customer service nightmare.
Speaker 1: So I said, I asked you I had. My question
Speaker 1: was about oil. And I then go to explain it
Speaker 1: and just hold on and she comes back and after
Speaker 1: like five minutes and she says mobile. I said, what mobile?
Speaker 1: I said, that's not a sentence. What are the words
Speaker 1: before mobile? And she says mobile oil. So I said,
Speaker 1: she was she thought that she was trying to give
Speaker 1: you an answer, was trying to beat you to the punch.
Speaker 1: She was doing what you admitted to doing in the
Speaker 1: beginning of this book. It's like trying to find out
Speaker 1: the answer before the question. Okay, So she says, I said, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not trying to ask you the brand I
Speaker 1: should buy. Mobile is a brand. I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: out what type of oil I should buy for this car?
Speaker 1: Are from my car? I haven't even told you what
Speaker 1: car I have yet, so she says. So she says, um,
Speaker 1: she says, Honda, right, because they sell those two among
Speaker 1: other cause that is honder und I said, what happens
Speaker 1: to be hand to hold on? She comes back and
Speaker 1: she says, I was right, it's mobile. And I said,
Speaker 1: I don't know what question you're asking, but that's not
Speaker 1: the question I'm asking. I'm asking whether or not it
Speaker 1: needs synthetic or regular. And wait, wait, it's not in
Speaker 1: the owner's manual. And she says regular mobile. I said,
Speaker 1: can you please give me someone in service? And she
Speaker 1: puts me on hold. And she comes back and she says,
Speaker 1: I double checked, sir. I said, great, what she goes mobile?
Speaker 1: So I said, you're not fucking lesson to me? And
Speaker 1: then she hung up on me and would not answer
Speaker 1: the phone. Why wouldn't she just connect you with service?
Speaker 1: So I called a different dealership because I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't call the dealership where I bought the car. Maybe
Speaker 1: you should have done that to begin with. I understand
Speaker 1: that you know you're David Brody. I understand your dealership.
Speaker 1: The dealership I bought the car is wonderful, okay, But
Speaker 1: I called the one near me because I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: there when I need service. It's closer obviously not anymore right.
Speaker 1: I called the dealership that I bought the car that
Speaker 1: you want to shout them out, Um, yes, I bought
Speaker 1: the car at Plaza Honda Plaza Honda in Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 1: And when I called them, they were like, oh, absolutely
Speaker 1: you need some were beautiful, they told me everything, but
Speaker 1: the one in New Jersey near my house. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to mention their name, but screw you guys. Screw
Speaker 1: you guys. So my point is I cursed them, and
Speaker 1: I'm very upset. And because the podcast you're holding hostage,
Speaker 1: I'm calling about the oil regular and she thought I
Speaker 1: asked for gas. I just she This woman was not
Speaker 1: anyone whom any about cars. And I'm very upset. But
Speaker 1: will your next week consol console. I can't wait for
Speaker 1: next week. Morland story is when you buy a Pearn car,
Speaker 1: they should write the manual like an American man. You
Speaker 1: taking calls on this podcast in the future one eight
Speaker 1: hundred hundred, the phone might be ringing here and there.

Speaker 1: So and so when in the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: you and I are gonna lay down our first podcast, uh,
Speaker 1: And we don't have a name for it yet, although
Speaker 1: week I kind of I ran a couple of potential
Speaker 1: titles by Brody and he's like, uh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: He's I don't know. I don't know should we should
Speaker 1: put some of the potential podcast names out there because
Speaker 1: we're gonna open up a can then people are gonna
Speaker 1: start tweeting us and texting us. I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about that. I kind of wanted to know
Speaker 1: if people knew what we were talking about when we
Speaker 1: were kind of saying that that word, because you seem
Speaker 1: to think people didn't. But I don't even know if
Speaker 1: we should put it out there. I told Brodie in private, well,
Speaker 1: I thought the name of the the problem is so
Speaker 1: it's it's you, you, it's um, it's she we were
Speaker 1: thinking of. She talks, he balks, meaning like almost like
Speaker 1: as she said, he said, where you say something, and
Speaker 1: then I'd be like what And then because the word
Speaker 1: book is actually exactly scary, and sure it's basically scary.
Speaker 1: Looking at me, going and hesitating for a second and
Speaker 1: then kind of needing a little too vincing, and he's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that is exactly Oh my god. If
Speaker 1: she's not believes I don't need to see it that way.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking? Sometimes sometimes he doesn't see it
Speaker 1: that way, but he still goes. You know, even if
Speaker 1: I don't fully see it that way. I kind of
Speaker 1: get the first now that you know what this was
Speaker 1: just here. This was like when you when you tell
Speaker 1: everybody what you're thinking of naming your kids, and I
Speaker 1: hate it, And then everybody's going to give you a
Speaker 1: million opinions because here they come, go ahead, starting with you,
Speaker 1: David Brodie. So so here's the thing. First of all,
Speaker 1: as a sports fan, when you said balk, I immediately
Speaker 1: thought of a baseball term when a pitcher ball right right, yeah?
Speaker 1: And then I thought, well, what about scary squawks because
Speaker 1: like he's like, well, I no, like he like he
Speaker 1: would spawk. And then I saw it's scary GalKs because
Speaker 1: you're hot and he stares at you. But that so yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Also scary walks like he walks away from your opinion.
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't take this anymore. He walks away,
Speaker 1: he talks, he walks like. But then I thought, then
Speaker 1: I think, walk, I'm supposed to come around. I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to first disagree and then you know, then I hear
Speaker 1: what she has to say and I like. But then
Speaker 1: I thought, why don't we make it like truthful and
Speaker 1: call it like share talks scary stalks because it's sort
Speaker 1: of a stalker, you know. But then I thought, what
Speaker 1: about Share Nose and Scary Blows like she she knows
Speaker 1: stuff and his opinions are terrible. Oh well, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want. Aren't that title Share Nose and
Speaker 1: Scary Boys? All right, well, well it's it'sn't work in progress. Listen,
Speaker 1: we have We're gonna roll out of here because we're
Speaker 1: gonna end the podcast now, but we wanted to put
Speaker 1: it out there. We're all on our summer vacations still. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're doing your auditions, you're doing your l a thing,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have it together in the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. We will, we will and will welcome together.

Speaker 1: podcast to be permanent. We listen, this is good. You know.
Speaker 1: It's slow, slow transitions everywhere and scary. I just want
Speaker 1: to remind everybody if they want to start sending in
Speaker 1: and keep sending in these questions because I keep doing
Speaker 1: FaceTime line guys, So did you please everybody tweet her
Speaker 1: at Share Nose with all your questions problems, because we're
Speaker 1: gonna need them. We're gonna ramp up real quick. When
Speaker 1: we do start, I think we should have them go

Speaker 1: think that's where all the communications should lie right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: so at Cheryl, it's the at at share Nose fan page.
Speaker 1: Will just Google at share Nose on Facebook. All right, Okay,
Speaker 1: how about this? How about this? How about this? How
Speaker 1: about um? You shorten it would take your names out
Speaker 1: and make it like, you know, like um, she's and fries,
Speaker 1: like just two words that are like quick like like uh,
Speaker 1: you know, like like she speaks and like I was thinking,
Speaker 1: she speaks, he tweaks like he's like he gives his opinion,
Speaker 1: he tweaks it, but like speaks and tweaks. He freaks,
Speaker 1: speaks and freaks or something like that. We because the
Speaker 1: words that people have to like, you know, have you
Speaker 1: listen to speaks and freaks. But he talked like she's
Speaker 1: we like she said, he said, but there's a million,
Speaker 1: he said. She said, there's a million of them. But
Speaker 1: what about she said, he's stupid like something funny like
Speaker 1: something that's doesn't that doesn't it's not what you expected. Okay,
