Yeah, we did. 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.120 We sparred. I love how people think that that's for real. Well, 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.760 at one point it was no, it wasn't me. It 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.040 was never for real. It was never for real. It 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.080 was never for real. A little bit annoyed, annoyed, your 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:50.680 butt hurt sometimes think you go too far. Come on, now, 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.319 we had a good week with the Elvis t Rand 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.920 Morning Show. We I mean we we got to plug 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.320 the podcast several times. Yeah, and you did a good 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.600 job this time. You didn't like see you like what 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.920 I did there? Yeah, you didn't slip in the merch thing. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.679 But you're getting there. Well, come on, man, that's cartu 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.760 it is. It's so hard to just we've a conversation 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.200 towards your merchant or here here's how do you do it? 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.039 How do you do it? Bro Let me explain how 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.080 you do it? First of all, Uh, you go to 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.840 Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's what the 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.760 Brooklyn Boys merchandise. Right, that's what people are supposed to do. Yes, 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:27.760 but how do you weave it onto the big show? On? 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.520 Hold on, that's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.120 You know a lot of times it comes naturally. Obviously 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.960 it's gonna sound awkward if out of nowhere you just 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.240 say dot com. Yeah, right, you have to work it in, 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.520 like you know, speaking of speaking of the podcast, we 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.559 not have merchandise for the Brooklyn Boys podcast and the fans, 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.400 which you can get at Brooklyn Boys dot, Big carteligtel 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.880 dot com. Right, yeah, right, that would be great to 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.320 say on the air, But how do you but Elvis 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.280 would do just flag me for that. He'd be like, dude, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:59.880 what are you trying to do here? This is my show. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.160 I understand that. But Elvis is supportive of us. And 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.800 when we first told him we had merchandise, he said, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.040 that's great, let's sell some merchant. And then he said, 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.600 what is it? Right? But here's how it works out 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.600 in my head. He says, scary, what are you going on? 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.320 You say, I have a we have a great podcast. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.600 We have a new episode. In fact, you can buy 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:23.280 our merchandise and support the team at Brooklyn com And 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.679 then he would say, I'm sorry, that's a lot a 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.920 lot to talk about. Uh, you should say it again slower, 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:38.440 in which case you would say Brooklyn Boys, bigel you know, right, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.399 and he'd said that's better. But we should probably send 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.880 out a link on your social media and at Elvis 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.200 drand show. So I think we'll do that. Yeah, good 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.320 luck getting get good luck getting that done. Speaking of which, 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.359 I would like everyone listening to please tweet at Scary 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.240 Jones a s k e er Y Jones. Right, Um, 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.399 we're gonna talk about lawn signs in a little while 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.440 and how how they may or may not affect anyone's opinion. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.639 But Scary has a similar opinion about tweeting and posting 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.320 and putting up instant stories to promote the fact we 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.359 have a new episode. So I would like you to 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.000 tell him that, unlike lawng sides of political Uh hold 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.799 on a second, You're you're being biased right now. You're 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.440 like you're like a You're like a politician trying to 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:27.600 invoke his opinion on the public, whether or not him 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.639 sending out social media is helpful to you as a 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.160 reminder or an alert to let you know, hey, we 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.840 have a new episode. Counterpoint, Yes, people who listen to 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.920 this podcast and are die hard fans know that at 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.960 the end of the week there's an episode coming. They 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.480 don't need me or you to go and post an 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.960 Instagram story with a swipe up and link. I just 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.640 believe that it gets tired and boring after a while. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.000 You know what would actually be um a good reason 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:06.000 to do that if we had some video footage of 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:10.840 that week's episode. Hint, hint, mm hmm. You see what 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.200 I'm saying, Because then you get fresh content. Because because 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.520 Instagram is a visual media, it's for pictures and video. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.520 So if I just post a lazy orange graphic of 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.880 the Brooklyn Boys podcast and a swipe up link, I 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.960 honestly think that it works against us to some people 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.640 that are watching my feed. I do think that the 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.200 people that are listening are already listening there, or they're 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.839 or they're subscribed to the podcast and or or there. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.080 They just know they they just feel it when another 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.360 episode is being released. You don't need constant reminders. You're 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.040 talking to the wrong audience right now, Here's why I disagree. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:51.200 Nobody's audience of any television show, band, um, anything that 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.920 you would be a fan of sports team. They every 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.000 every sports team has the super fans who go to 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.880 every game, watch every game, paint their faces whatever. Our 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.960 is the slicest, the slicest. But but everyone's just slice 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.000 But you know, like if you go to a Mets game, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.920 there are people who took their kids there for the 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.880 first time. It's a client meeting, and they don't really care. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.720 You go to a hockey game and basketball game, and 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.640 there's the people who sit down front from the corporate seats. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.760 They're they're not the crazy fan, but there they are. Right, 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.440 we know this. People listen to podcast who aren't crazy 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.800 demented fans. They listen casually. But we're treading on the 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.520 same because it's it's always get the alert from excuse me, 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:35.479 Mr Vice President, I'm speaking. I'm speaking your followers, my followers. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.040 There are sometimes people who need a reminder. They don't sometimes, 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.400 you know, scary, sometimes I Heart Radio doesn't send that 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.080 the reminder on Monday. They sometimes don't tell people. Well, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.160 so there are sometimes people go oh this, oh I 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.880 forgot those a new episode and then we'll move on 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.800 because this is already boring. I just want to say 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.560 this your followers, my followers, and followers to our feeds. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.479 He's like running in circles and going around the same track. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.640 People know it already, and it's a different audience that 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.680 we need to capture. Right. It's like if Elvis was 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.000 to tweet out our Lincoln, say hey, the Brooklyn Boys 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.200 have a new episode. Now we're talking, how many followers 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:16.760 do you have on Instagram? That is more? Then we 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.800 have slices at the moment, right, but not everyone is 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:27.680 going to so therefore the people that don't already listen 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.400 might see that and say, you know what, he posts 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.880 this every week. I want to find time this week 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.440 to try it out because sometimes people go, you know. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.200 You know many times people will tweet me and say, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.200 I just started listening to the podcast. I didn't know 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.600 you guys had a podcast? Do I not know? And 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.400 I go, you didn't know because we don't talk about 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.840 it enough on the Elvistrad Morning show, and because Scary 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.760 doesn't send it out to his undred. In fact, if 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.479 I was to send one out today for this episode 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.839 and people clicked on it the first seven minutes are 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.320 going to be this and is this really? And and 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.200 I would you I would have shut this off four 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.880 minutes ago if this is what I got. So honestly, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.000 people like when we debate this was this is not 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.600 a good debate. This is real. It is a real hardcore. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.440 Now back to why you were but hurt. But that 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.200 wasn't real. We weren't really offended, were you. And for 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.600 people who don't know to bring you up to speed, no, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.400 I don't no, no, to bring up speed three times 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.080 this week. It took a poop on me. So the 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.800 first time I addressed it with you last week, and 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.240 I like to address the third time because that's that 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.880 sends you very fun with third time on the air today. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.360 Let me explain this, okay, let's explain what happened. Brodie 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.840 is is giving two dollars of a of a thirty 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.480 dollar free money phone tap to the big prize for 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.720 the for the listeners two dollars investment, so I'm getting 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.240 equal billing. So Elvis is trying to say, hey, Brodie, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.440 could you pony up some more? And Brodie, he says, 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.960 why don't you give twelve dollars and we'll make it 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.120 the forty dollar phone tap. How great would that be? 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.960 And Brodie on the air live says, I gotta go 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.360 ask my wife for twelve dollars. I then come back 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.880 and say, hey, while you're digging in your wife's purse, Brodie, 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.680 why don't you grab your balls while you're at it? Right? 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.960 Meaning your wife has your balls in her purse, she 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:25.800 holds your balls because obviously you're a man child that 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.600 you need to ask for permission for twelve dollars from 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.680 your wife. So what was that all about? And I 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.920 had every right to do that joke? And someone said 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.480 I crossed the line by saying it. Yes, yes, somebody 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.920 tweeted it and and texted it. Why don't you get 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:44.960 your balls back? Brodie? Okay, so, uh it's not. Um well, 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.360 it's just so here's here's the problem. If it was 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.520 a hundred dollars, okay, maybe it should be a husband 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.000 and wife discussion address I will address. First of all, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.839 it's a funny line, okay, But here's the problem with 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.520 the line if I'm analyzing it as a person who 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.600 actually is married. Number One, you don't know my finances, right, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.160 You don't know anyone's finances. You assume the ten dollars 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.839 is not a big deal, okay, and and in the 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.559 grand scheme of things, it isn't. However, when you're in 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.719 a marriage, when you're in a partnership, you do have 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.160 conversations with people like, Hey, I'm going to spend our 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.200 money that's in our bank account to the center down 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.240 to the penny. Really not down to the pennies. It's 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.920 ten dollars, not down to not down to the penny. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:32.800 But I was perpetrating the image that I'm frugal on 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:39.640 the radio. Okay, I was going for the joke, right, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.920 and then I came back right. But that but again, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.400 when it's the third time in a week that you've 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:52.040 gone at me, gone out, the listeners are wondering whether 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:56.440 or not there's some truth buried underneath the attack mode. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:04.400 Let's exhibit David Brodie, you're the biggest jokester around your comedian. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.640 I didn't stay. I was offended by the balls comment. 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.600 I said, you have You've developed a pattern, right, Once 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.760 is a thing, twice is coincidence, and three as a pattern. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.760 Since it's the third time this week you have verbally 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.040 attacked me, people are starting to wonder what's going on. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.679 So there's nothing going on. We have, nothing's changed, we 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.000 were still we're still scary and Brodie Brodie and scary 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.200 that nothing has changed since episode one. Now, I wanted 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.400 to talk about political lawn signs because I think we 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.880 both agree with when people put political lawn signs out there, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.000 that people in their minds think that they're swaying people 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.600 into thinking how they do and maybe they'll pull them 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.839 onto their side of the fence. But we both know 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.920 that people's minds are made up. There's very little that's 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.080 going to swing you know, the move the needle, okay, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.400 and and certainly your political lawn sign is not doing it. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.600 So we feel as a deeper meaning there. Well, if 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.480 you put up a political lawn sign, again, depending on 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.000 your neighborhood, and see, in most neighborhoods where it's mixed opinion, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.360 half the people are gonna be like, yeah, I like 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.559 that person, and half the people are gonna hate you. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.679 You're running that risk now if you live in a 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.960 place that is so one sided, right, everyone in town 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.400 likes that guy, right, whatever side you're on. The oh woman, right, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.400 I'm all right. I was talking politics this year, but 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.400 I'm talking about local politicians, who whoever, whoever you like. 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.800 But it's more it's more polarizing when it's a bigger thing. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.160 But okay, whatever it is. If it's a if it's 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.440 a tough race, right, half the people are gonna hate 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.360 you and no one's going to change their mind. But 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.320 if everyone in your town, that's why I'm saying, if 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.559 if go presidential, it's more likely to be the whole town, right, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:55.280 If the whole town is like person one, then it's like, yeah, 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.600 I'm on the team, don't egg my house. Let's do this, Yes, 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.800 let's t s. Then you're the guy a woman who 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:06.400 puts up the opinion. Yeah, you're looking. You're looking for trouble. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.240 You're looking to some kind of should. We're not saying 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.079 you should. And it's ballsy to be like, hey, you 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.599 know what I believe in candidate too, you're looking for 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.599 people to vandalize your your property in some way. I 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.000 just don't think. I don't think that putting out a 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.880 long sign in in any you know, and for anyone 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.040 is a good idea. I don't think. I don't think. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.200 I don't think. I really don't think. Because again, people's 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.240 minds are made up you're not. You're not trying to 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.200 like advertise for that candidate. You're not. You're not doing 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.400 anything by that other than causing half the people to 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.959 fucking hate you. That's all. You know what, Here's what 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.760 I've realized though this year. I do think it causes 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.319 people to vote for the other person. And I'll tell 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.400 you why. Really. Yeah, let's say you you are a 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.720 fan of candidate too, but your whole street has signs 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.600 for candidate one. Maybe you were thinking, I'm not gonna 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.360 vote because it's gonna be it's gonna be too close, 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.600 or my vote is not gonna count. Whatever, you might go, Hey, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.360 I better vote for candidate too, because more people are 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.439 voting for one than I thought. I thought two was 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.280 a shoeing. But now look at all these lawn signs, right, 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.640 I may have to go vote now. Or in my case, 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.200 one of my neighbors who I do not like, shocker, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.800 put up lawn signs for candidate green black and white 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.920 sign person. Right, So I see these the sign for 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.480 the person with the green, black and white signs, and 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.439 I said to myself, well, if this idiot is voting 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.319 for that person, I have to now find out who 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.439 was running against them, even if I didn't care, and 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.400 I'm gonna vote because it was for a town thing. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.640 It wasn't for a big you know, no one's gonna 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.160 change my mind on the big ones. But this was like, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.120 because this is one of those categories scary, I don't 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:57.480 you don't really vote when you vote to admit that 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.640 you need to because again, continue if you if you 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.920 choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.720 That's a rush lyric because if you don't vote, then 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.120 whoever wins is who you voted for. Okay, anyway, So 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.000 sometimes when you vote for a town position, it'll say 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.800 choose three of the six names because there's three people 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.160 on the on the committee. So you're like, oh god, 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.840 how am I gonna pick three people that I like 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.720 or don't like? So I made sure not to vote 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.240 for the person that the people I don't like voted for. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.920 So in that sense, the sign hurt them. Right, Okay, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.480 that's all. But but but but now he has nothing. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.240 When you live in a town like I do. See 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.480 in Brooklyn, nobody gives a funk, Nobody bothers you, and 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.920 you live in an apartment building like I did, there's 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.520 no place to put a sign. You don't have a lawn, 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.560 there's no place to put a sign. But now, because 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.040 my kids are in school and and aftershow activities, one 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.800 of the moms came up to us this year right 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.760 when she was dropping their kid off at my house 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.200 and had a trunk load of signs, and so she says, Hey, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.440 as you know, I'm running for blah blah blah blah 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.600 blah blah of the town, can I just put a 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.480 sign on your lawn? Uh? You know? Yeah? And so 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.840 what do you do? Scary? What what would you have done? Oh? 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.160 My god, that's that's that's a big ask. And it's 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.080 not like she this woman's your friend, she's the mom 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:25.280 of your kids. Yeah, yeah, there's there. Yeah, you're socially connected, 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:26.960 but you're not, like, I don't know a platform. Who 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.640 would make such an awkward ask someone who wants to 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.960 win or someone who thinks they're signed because you listen. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.840 The whole purpose of campaign ads is not so much 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.160 the content of the ad necessarily. It's so that when 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.760 you go into the polling booth, the name is familiar, 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.960 like like like when you advertise yogurt and you go, oh, okay, now, 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.960 scary you vote for people would have valid into their 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.600 name because you like to vote for Italians. I have 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.760 done that when I didn't know who the fun was running. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:57.000 I'm like, if you if you're a mobster or you 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.880 know a philanderer, or just what it does. I'm not 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.480 saying all the time, people, I'm saying, doesn't matter. As 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.320 long as you had a valid into your name, you 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:09.160 got whatever. You know, I will say no, So I 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.960 so we want to say I never got back to 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.160 the story. So we put the sign on the lawn, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.800 and then you're like, how long do you keep it up? 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.520 So we have to figure out is there anything anyway? 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.320 Is there? As I asked my my kid, I said, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.880 is there any reason why this woman's kids coming to 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.240 our house in the next week? Is there like homework 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.240 thing or do you have a get together? No? So 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.040 I let the sign go up for a day, figuring 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.040 they would come back the next day to just double check. 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.760 So I had it up for two days and then 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.720 that's that sign went like, you come out, you can 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.880 do that. Here's where here's where I'll give you a pass. 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.760 If both candidates are kind of unknown and you just 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.320 want to create awareness, like Hey, this person exists like 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.960 in a local race. But if you're talking about a 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:57.360 national race where where everybody knows both candidates, there's no 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.880 need for a sign. Maybe let me just modify my answer, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.440 because if I'm living a little if I live in 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.760 a town and someone's running for like a mayor or 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.399 congress person or whatever, or some some seat that nobody 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.840 even knew was in existence, then maybe then maybe you 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.399 for familiarity, you put something out there, but no one 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:22.160 who's polarizing and known by everybody in the community. Maybe 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.399 it doesn't make any sense. You would think that, but 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.359 you watch the news and now it's it's what areway 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.800 in the middle of October, there are still people on 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.879 the news saying, yeah, I'm on decide who I'm voting for, right, 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.000 But but a loan sign is not gonna change anyone's mind. Well, 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.960 I don't know. Here's my thoughts. It's only I don't 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.119 want to I don't want to offend any slices, so 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.680 I'm gonna be careful here. But if it's mid October 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.439 and the election is November three, right, and you are 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.240 talking about two candidates that are polar opposites, Well, I 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.280 don't care what you believe in, but there are polar 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.119 opposites Hot and gold right, if you have if you 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.960 don't have an opinion at this point, if you don't know, no, 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.040 hear me out, if you don't know where you're going. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.359 Is it possible that if you see all your neighbors 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.359 have a law and sign for hot, that you vote 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.720 for hot, Or if all your neighbors have called, you 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.760 vote for cold because you're thinking, well, they must know 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.119 what's best for me, So I'm in. Is that the 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:17.960 only possibility where the signs matter. The signs will only 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.360 matter in like a local race where people are unfamiliar 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.959 with both candidates. Like if let's say Stu stupid Asso 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.680 is running okay for something, Okay, stupid Asso, and he's 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.720 got a law and you don't know who that is, 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.360 and then maybe he's running against the que piece of ship, yeah, Hue, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.959 piece of ship, or or Clint clint Torres, Clint Torres 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:42.040 Clintres right, and and so it's hard to find Clintaures right. 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.359 So I may be like, you know what, I I 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.880 know that Stu stands for good things, So I'm gonna 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.159 put a stupid Asso sign in my on my lawn, right, 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.280 she understand, But that's where it makes sense to put 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.119 it because other people don't know who that is, so 0:18:58.240 --> 0:18:59.879 you wanna you know, and and no one, no one. 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.200 Back to your theory. If I see the sign of 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.320 the stupid assho, am I gonna suddenly gona you know 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.560 the scary Jones? Who that guy? I don't even know 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.520 that guy in that green house whatever he likes, stupid asshole. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.640 So I'm gonna give up my god given, my god, 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:21.000 my American vote, my my, my, my constitutional right and 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:22.720 vote for that guy because he put a sign on 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.399 his law. Or maybe you like the way that I 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.080 manicure my property, and like, you know what, that guy 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.200 in that house. I bet you he's got good taste 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.560 in politicians because he's got great tasting flowers. That sign 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.560 is blue and the opponent has a purple sign. I 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.840 don't like to call a purpose, So I'm gonna vote 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.639 for the guy with the blue sign. I don't know, 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.320 all right, I got I've got a great email regarding 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.240 last week's episode. This actually came into my d M. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:54.040 Someone slid into my d M N Danielle Marie d 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.480 Marie seven one seven, and she sent the picture to 0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.359 go with it. Hey, Brodie and scary. Scary and Brody. 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.480 She puts us both. Danielle here from Long Island, big 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.040 fan of the Big Show and now Big Slice. Last episode, 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.000 you were talking about your girlfriend Robin getting hit on 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.000 with a mask. Well, I had a similar experience. I 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.760 was in the kitchen section of t J Max alone 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.480 with a mask on and big sunglasses. I always tucked 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.320 my mask under my glasses so it doesn't slide and 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.159 and so my glasses don't fog, so literally none of 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.560 my face was showing. I'm thirty years old, but I'm 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.240 often told I look I look much little younger, five, 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.640 one small frame, Italian, long dark hair. Anyway, a guy 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:38.280 approached me in his mid forties and he said, hey, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.639 your hair is so beautiful. Now my ends are fried 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.159 and I'm in desperate need of a haircut, so I 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.320 know my hair is not really looking beautiful. Turned around, 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:52.200 said thank you, but like a dismissive way thank you. 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.440 He continued to ask me what nationality well I am 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.960 or where I'm from? All then he's then he's told 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.840 me that he is Greek and Italian and did twenty 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.640 three in me and speaks whatever languages. Anyway, the guy 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:08.760 keeps going. He doesn't take no for an answer. I'm 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:12.360 just paraphrasing now, um. And he then says I would 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.000 love to continue with this conversation. UM, can I have 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.880 your number? I said no, thank you. He then pulled 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.120 down his mask and said the following words. See, I'm 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:26.560 non threatening. I got such ted Bundy vibes. The only 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.239 time you say you're non threatening is if you are 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.800 in fact threatening. He asked if I have a boyfriend 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.520 or if I'm married. I just responded with yeah. So 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.240 then he pointed to my finger and asked where my 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.000 ring was. I said no, thank you, and I walked 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:45.520 off anyway. This woman power walked away rand up the stairs, 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.159
