Speaker 1: Guess we just got back today that Brooklyn Boys that
Speaker 1: had been away. They both have so much to see.
Speaker 1: You know. Their name is Obscary and broad. Here boys
Speaker 1: began toast episode three. It's the Brooking Boys Podcast, back
Speaker 1: from a two week gat case in three weeks away
Speaker 1: from all of you beautiful slices. Man, oh man, we
Speaker 1: missed you. We've been places, We've been around the world,
Speaker 1: and I I I was, I've been around my house.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. I noticed, man, your Facebook page tells
Speaker 1: all you've been around. You've been been around a lot
Speaker 1: of pizza. I see. Yeah. I I did the brook
Speaker 1: An Italian Triple, the the the the almost impossible, rare
Speaker 1: like Bigfoot, right, I did the Brooklyn Italian Triple. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're not from the area, you can be like what.
Speaker 1: But I I went to arguably the two best pizza
Speaker 1: places in our area of Brooklyn, in in that section
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, the Italian half and well actually one of
Speaker 1: them in a in a religious Jewish half quarter. And
Speaker 1: I had the best rice ball by far in New York.
Speaker 1: I did the triple. So the first thing I did
Speaker 1: was I went to De Fara Pizza, the legendary to
Speaker 1: Fara Pizza where Dominic mcou who made every pizza by
Speaker 1: you know himself cut the basil with his own rusty
Speaker 1: scissors or old scissors, and his family is now taken
Speaker 1: over and making the pizza there. They've franchised for the locations.
Speaker 1: I went there. I'll get to that in a minute. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I went to while I was in Brooklyn
Speaker 1: to visit somebody was a thing, you know, not not
Speaker 1: a joke, and then um, noticing where I was, I
Speaker 1: then to get on the parkway went to Joseph Avenue
Speaker 1: you which is like it's a it's a restaurant with
Speaker 1: like a countertop you can go over to food local Local.
Speaker 1: Very I don't know if if many slices even know
Speaker 1: what they served and what they're known for. A couple
Speaker 1: of things they're known for the you'll talk about the sandwich,
Speaker 1: but because I always get the name wrong in Pinell sandwich,
Speaker 1: Pelli Pinelli sandwich, the famous for peas or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of that sandwich, but only because
Speaker 1: since I'm a kid. That's how long his place has
Speaker 1: been there making the same thing, same recipe. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you visited now to those places and then the Holy Grail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I'll get today. Let me just tell you what
Speaker 1: the rice ball special is. It's a fantastic rice ball,
Speaker 1: which is not just a rice of ball. It's a
Speaker 1: rice ball with chopped meat in the middle and a
Speaker 1: couple of peas which I'm an expert at getting out.
Speaker 1: But they put in a small place to container like
Speaker 1: a wanton soup. The half container they covered, and a
Speaker 1: delicious tomato sauce. But under the tomato sauce is a
Speaker 1: scoop of Regott the cheese, and on top of the
Speaker 1: sauce is shredded loc telly romano, which is like cheese
Speaker 1: from the heavens. And they cover the lid and it
Speaker 1: melts on top and it's and what happens is the
Speaker 1: sauce seeps into the rice ball and into the crust
Speaker 1: of the rice ball and it becomes almost mushy, and
Speaker 1: it's just perfection. It's almost like you're you're eating hot
Speaker 1: mush But it's the taste that it has is very unique. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you must try it. And if it sounds disgusting,
Speaker 1: you don't, you have no idea? Yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: podcast assume that you have a good to be there anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and n Pinelli is is these the crushed chickpeas with
Speaker 1: it which is fried with on with with regotta, and
Speaker 1: and it's on a bun like a Hamburger bun. And
Speaker 1: it tastes just as magnificent, but again very unique taste.
Speaker 1: It's and it's a very Sicilian Italian thing. And then
Speaker 1: I continued up Avenue you made a right on stillwell
Speaker 1: end up all pon heard us talk about that one
Speaker 1: on this podcast. Now I do have a question for
Speaker 1: you about the first thing you mentioned. I got to
Speaker 1: talk about that and we have to address this. We
Speaker 1: have to address this. Let me explain. Defara Pizza rated
Speaker 1: almost every year as not only the best one or
Speaker 1: two pizzas in New York, which is saying something unless
Speaker 1: you're from Connecticut and Iowa and you want to get
Speaker 1: into that dispute, but it's also considered one of the
Speaker 1: best pizzas in America. And Dave Portnoy, the bar Stool
Speaker 1: Sports president a gave it a nine point four when
Speaker 1: he was one. Bye you know how this works, he
Speaker 1: did it. Go watch the video of him reviewing Space
Speaker 1: f A. But that's how you just to give it
Speaker 1: some levity a nine point four from that man. And
Speaker 1: by levity, I means humor. By the way, you mean weight,
Speaker 1: I meant weight, right, yeah, um to give some gravity,
Speaker 1: some gravity, right, Defara pizza traditionally, and by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Sicilian. The round is fine, but
Speaker 1: the Sicilian is where it's at. The Sicilian is normally
Speaker 1: the perfect sauce, and the crust is blacken and chewy,
Speaker 1: and you bite it and you go, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I've never eaten anything like this. Oh it's twice big.
Speaker 1: The crust is twice big, and it's like takes like
Speaker 1: ninety minutes to do one pie. It's a long process, however.
Speaker 1: So so I'm I'm about fifteen twenty minutes away from
Speaker 1: my first from getting to the farah, and I order
Speaker 1: in the slice app come on, and I ordered the pizza.
Speaker 1: They go, we'll be ready in twenty minutes. We have
Speaker 1: a pie in the oven. I'm all right at the oven.
Speaker 1: So I get there. The places they don't they don't
Speaker 1: let you come inside anymore. They just have the window open,
Speaker 1: so the gates down over the door and you just
Speaker 1: go to the window. Now it's a typical pizza place.
Speaker 1: In New York where it's like that metal countertop and
Speaker 1: they have like a window that slides up right like
Speaker 1: it's about six ft wide, and uh, you you order
Speaker 1: under the window. So I tell give him my name.
Speaker 1: It'll be read in a little while. And it's five
Speaker 1: or six people waiting outside. They get the pizza and
Speaker 1: and none of them were ordering, like um, I ordered
Speaker 1: four slices for myself. It's like six dollars a slice,
Speaker 1: but usually worth every penny. I get the pizza about
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later, right out of the oven. They take
Speaker 1: it out of the oven, they pull a little olive
Speaker 1: olive oil. They pour on top olive oil right and
Speaker 1: then and then the sister or the daughter or whatever.
Speaker 1: She Maggie, Yeah, I think it was Maggie. I can't
Speaker 1: swear to it. I couldn't swear it was Magi. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She she cuts up the basil with the scissors and
Speaker 1: she goes over and she sprinkles it on the pie.
Speaker 1: The guy cuts it up, puts my four slices in
Speaker 1: the box. I'm dying. God. I go to my car.
Speaker 1: I take a bite. I want want m brody terrible.
Speaker 1: The crust isn't blackened. It tastes like us five or
Speaker 1: six in terms of like it's like crust. We hate
Speaker 1: to do this because we know them. We're almost like
Speaker 1: friends of these people. Yeah, I gotta say I was
Speaker 1: gonna I was gonna call back if we're being honest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just it just fell short of how we know
Speaker 1: it to be. And I've heard from other people that
Speaker 1: a similar story. Bro I posted on my Facebook page
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't do it in Facebook. Is just my
Speaker 1: friends and family, right, it's not really like public like
Speaker 1: the slices and everybody. I didn't want to embarrass them
Speaker 1: in public. And I just said, hey, I went to
Speaker 1: these three places. I pulled off the triple. Great, you
Speaker 1: should see how many scare you did. But a bunch
Speaker 1: of people, Hey, was how was Defaris? Was it as
Speaker 1: goods it used to be? Hey, I heard it's not
Speaker 1: as good as it used to be. Hey, I went there,
Speaker 1: it's not as good. So I'm not saying that they're
Speaker 1: not as good. I'm saying because you know they had
Speaker 1: our president, they went there since Dominic, you know, passed away.
Speaker 1: I'm saying when I went, there was no consistency. It
Speaker 1: did not taste like, oh my god, defara pizza and
Speaker 1: I didn't complain, I didn't call off. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: maybe they had a bad day. I'm not gonna not
Speaker 1: go again. I'm just saying, boy, it's like meeting your
Speaker 1: hero and they're not nice. That's how it was. And again,
Speaker 1: no disrespect. We love them. I'll still give them the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. But I'm just hoping this was
Speaker 1: a bump because they never had those speed bumps ever,
Speaker 1: you know under Dominic when he was consistency. Think maybe
Speaker 1: the guy who made the pie was having a bed
Speaker 1: maybe pulled it out of the oven too soon. Maybe
Speaker 1: because I was waiting they gave me before they twice
Speaker 1: baked it and they put it back in the other
Speaker 1: I don't know now. Well, okay, so so we're gonna
Speaker 1: leave that there for now inconclusive. Is the Fairies as
Speaker 1: great as it ever was? Um? Alright, so so so so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you did a little you did little pizza tour action.
Speaker 1: You spent some time around the neighborhood, which you were
Speaker 1: eating good in the neighborhood. Um. I decided to not
Speaker 1: spend any time in my bed at all. I spent
Speaker 1: like two nights out of the I guess the seventeen
Speaker 1: consecutive eighteen consecutive days we had off. When you wrapped
Speaker 1: three weekends around it, it was two weeks and three
Speaker 1: weekends days usually, right. I spent two nights in my bed.
Speaker 1: I went from Montauk out on the east end of
Speaker 1: Long Island, past the Hampton's which used to be a
Speaker 1: sleepy old fishing town, which in the last ten years
Speaker 1: have become like you know, places where you know, it's
Speaker 1: hard to get in and they have velvet ropes and
Speaker 1: ship Yeah. The people spoiled it with being popular. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that from there, I went all the way down
Speaker 1: to the Jersey Shore for a weekend. I did you know,
Speaker 1: I did some appearances at some of our the bars
Speaker 1: you've heard me talk about. Uh. And then and then
Speaker 1: I went up. I did a I pulled something that
Speaker 1: I've never done out of my ass, and that is
Speaker 1: a trip to light Bulb. Yeah. I went up to Montreal, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: Connecticut kick Canada. Canada they call, you know, the the
Speaker 1: frozen hostile wasteland that Jim Carrey said, how did you
Speaker 1: say the country's name Canada? Is that how they say?
Speaker 1: Because I say Canada, Canada, you say Canada, Canada. Jim
Speaker 1: Carrey did a stand up once They called it a frozen,
Speaker 1: hostile wasteland. Anyway, the only town I've ever been to
Speaker 1: in Canada Toronto, Toronto, yes once, or as they say, Toronto, Brodie.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I had so much fun in
Speaker 1: the three nights I went there. But I did a
Speaker 1: very unscary thing. No I didn't, because that's like the
Speaker 1: second strip club capital after Tampa. From what I hear,
Speaker 1: this was one of those things where I had three
Speaker 1: nights off that were free in the calendar, and it
Speaker 1: would burning a hole in my pocket. You know, It's
Speaker 1: like I must have been killing you. I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't sit home for three nights in a row
Speaker 1: during a vacation in the summer. Am I crazy? So
Speaker 1: my boy Danny what Danny Bottles what we call Danny connections,
Speaker 1: Danny Connections, I forget his name. The Danny Connections is like, yo,
Speaker 1: I got the same time off. Let's let's flip a coin,
Speaker 1: let's do it. We were gonna it was between we
Speaker 1: we did a couple of coin tosses, okay, and we
Speaker 1: were gonna go to Key West. We're gonna go to
Speaker 1: Nantucket of all places. But we ruled out in Nantucket
Speaker 1: because we figured, yeah, you know what, that's a place
Speaker 1: that we've heard that could be for families and couples.
Speaker 1: And we maybe was a girl from there, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: know what? Was it a guy? How you want the
Speaker 1: joke to go exactly? But anyway, and I would was
Speaker 1: gonna go just so I could come back and do
Speaker 1: the joke. But anyway, we decided to skip that and
Speaker 1: then Key West was the other option. Florida and Danny.
Speaker 1: Danny has never been there. I've been there once, and
Speaker 1: it's a it's a nice, cool town where you just
Speaker 1: put on a T shirt and and shorts and flip
Speaker 1: flops and then you could waste away again in Margaritaville.
Speaker 1: It's very casual, you know, the opposite of the Miami
Speaker 1: clubs and stuff. Flip the coin between Key West and
Speaker 1: Montreal and said, we're gonna go to one of these
Speaker 1: two places. How did Montreal get on your your possibility list?
Speaker 1: It's so nice. We we took the top five places
Speaker 1: where between those dates have the has the cheapest flights,
Speaker 1: and Montreal came Yeah, Montreal came in at one fifty
Speaker 1: five a hundred fifty five dollars to go there, and
Speaker 1: then I got another hundred something dollars to come home.
Speaker 1: It literally was under four hundred bucks, like three fifty
Speaker 1: or something like that, three seventy five to fly, so
Speaker 1: it made it very attractive. Key West was in that
Speaker 1: category too, because we wanted to fly during the week.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, Brodie, I'm going this is a situation
Speaker 1: where where Montreal is one hour away from New York.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was a one hour flight from
Speaker 1: the New York the three New York airports, and with
Speaker 1: with uh literally ten daily NonStop flights a day from
Speaker 1: all three major New York airports, it was a very
Speaker 1: attractive thing. So we flipped a coin heads was Montreal,
Speaker 1: tails was key West, and flipped it. It landed on
Speaker 1: heads Montreal's. It was. This was nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: I then went online to book the flight. I didn't
Speaker 1: booked my hotel till midnight, and then eight in the
Speaker 1: morning I was I was already packing my bag at midnight.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go on on my way to
Speaker 1: the airport at eight eight o'clock. Flight was six o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning. On my way to the airport. I'm starting, said, oh,
Speaker 1: we need dinner tonight. I don't know, we started booking dinners.
Speaker 1: So we literally started booking dinners the day of and
Speaker 1: the hotel was booked with like seven eight hours to go.
Speaker 1: It was the most insane turnover I think I've ever done.
Speaker 1: And you know me, I like to like plan things
Speaker 1: out a little bit more, but to just just stop
Speaker 1: on the dime. You know, you know somebody at at
Speaker 1: a at a resort chain, you know, somebody at the
Speaker 1: at the in the club in town. This was did
Speaker 1: Danny know anyone in Montreal? Ready? This was ready? Fire
Speaker 1: aim or fire aim ready? This was literally yeah, So
Speaker 1: we didn't. So we pieced it together with I threw
Speaker 1: out on on on social media, Hey this is my
Speaker 1: first time here. What should I do? Where should I go?
Speaker 1: So I thank you slices. A few of you, uh
Speaker 1: and I a few of you slices came up with
Speaker 1: some great things for me to do, and and so
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate you immensely for for like giving
Speaker 1: me guiding me in the right direction. Because between that
Speaker 1: and some professional, you know, critical lists, I pieced my
Speaker 1: way through and Danny, of course knows a guy who
Speaker 1: knows a guy connected him to someone who literally became
Speaker 1: our savior, like the guy who knew every club owner
Speaker 1: in in Montreal. So we ended up on every list
Speaker 1: in town that we needed to Yeah, um and and
Speaker 1: and those surprise, and I we gotta take a quick
Speaker 1: break here, and it leads me to where I wanted.
Speaker 1: I wanted to stop off for a minute, because Brody,
Speaker 1: if I talk about nothing else, I want to explain
Speaker 1: to you why the Montreal bagel is better than New
Speaker 1: York City bagel. Okay, alright, go to commercial now, because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get very upset. We are moving a little
Speaker 1: bit fast today because uh, we have some stuff we
Speaker 1: gotta take care of you after the podcast. Anyway, So,
Speaker 1: unbeknownst to me, Brodie, there is a huge bagel war
Speaker 1: going on in Montreal. They have some amazing they have
Speaker 1: some amazing deli food. They first of all, this place
Speaker 1: a large amount of Jewish place. There's a place called Schwartzes,
Speaker 1: which I swear to God mimics cats is deli home
Speaker 1: of the corn beef on rye with mustard. The line
Speaker 1: at Schwartzes wraps around the block and you wait for
Speaker 1: ever it again and it's a jew. They call it
Speaker 1: a heat rue delicatestine over there. So so places like
Speaker 1: that were like, look, we have three nights here, we
Speaker 1: got bucket lit list items and Danny Danny Connections was
Speaker 1: on board. He all our days were filled with food
Speaker 1: and literally going from places that Anthony Bourdine went when
Speaker 1: he was alive and he did that show like like
Speaker 1: it was like that. So we were going fast, fast, fast,
Speaker 1: eating more than we probably should have. So the first
Speaker 1: thing that happens is we you know, obviously we go
Speaker 1: to Schwartz Is then we go to a place called
Speaker 1: Lynette's Lenetsky Light Lunch. Lenetsky Light Lunch was formed in
Speaker 1: like the nineteen early nineteen hundreds. You walk in, you
Speaker 1: feel like you're in the early nineteen hundreds. They would
Speaker 1: have these they torturing people. Dude, the way that it
Speaker 1: was painted, and the whole place looked like like like
Speaker 1: it looked like a general like a like a candy store.
Speaker 1: This when you ordered a coke or cherry coke, it
Speaker 1: came from the fountain they do. They do homemade. They
Speaker 1: have that little thing that you pull the the lever
Speaker 1: and then you put it in an nice glass and
Speaker 1: they add the cherry syrup to it and they make
Speaker 1: the whole thing like an old fashioned are you're trying
Speaker 1: to describe a tap tap like a beer tap, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but yeah, a soda tap and a soda
Speaker 1: jerk like literally and but but the only thing you
Speaker 1: can get was and this is the weird part party
Speaker 1: and this is where you you'll fight with me on that. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm getting there. So it's a an all beef hot
Speaker 1: salami oh with with yellow they yellow mustard. Hold on there,
Speaker 1: they're a fan of yellow mustard up there. They don't
Speaker 1: have like that deli mud yellow mustard and your choice
Speaker 1: of three cheeses on a very flat bun. Okay, and
Speaker 1: then that isnte. This is what Lenetsky's has done. It's
Speaker 1: like four dollars. It's like it's it's really cheap and
Speaker 1: it's very light and it's only put like two or
Speaker 1: three pieces in it of the salami. And then so
Speaker 1: the people behind the counter are very our family owned
Speaker 1: and operated. And there's a sign up and it says,
Speaker 1: wait a minut, the family is owned and operated. The
Speaker 1: places owned, but family owned and operated. It's it's this
Speaker 1: is hot salami, hot beef salami. If you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. My favorite movie. Here's here's the weird part.
Speaker 1: The sign is up and it says, look, obviously we
Speaker 1: only accept cash here. We have some rules. We do
Speaker 1: not cut sandwiches in half because they're first of all,
Speaker 1: they're small enough as it is. They refuse to cut
Speaker 1: it in half. And it says, we refuse to not
Speaker 1: put yellow mustard on it. Don't don't ask. They said,
Speaker 1: don't ask. That's just how it is. Don't mess with tradition. Nope.
Speaker 1: Now hold on a second. This is and I can't
Speaker 1: understand this. Okay, I get it. If you went to
Speaker 1: Louise lunch, we're gonna go back to New Haven, Connecticut
Speaker 1: from hamburger on the white bread. It was a handburger
Speaker 1: on white bread, and they will put extra condiments on
Speaker 1: it because they won't add things to a sandwich. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: it's a conveyor belt and they're like, look, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna add things. I understand places that have tradition and
Speaker 1: they don't want to. They don't have these actually, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna you not put something off. That's right, it's right.
Speaker 1: You could stop yourself. You could put the salami on
Speaker 1: the bum cheese on the bottom, and no, no, they're
Speaker 1: doing it. No, no, they're doing it in fucking front
Speaker 1: of you. That's a problem. They're taking the salami off
Speaker 1: the grill, they're put the cheese. It's another thing to two.
Speaker 1: Then stop not being able to stop yourself from picking
Speaker 1: up the mustard bottle and squirting mustard on it. See,
Speaker 1: that's that's where That's where I whip out the I'm
Speaker 1: allergic to mustard seed. I could die. That's where I
Speaker 1: whip that out. That's why I tell them that I
Speaker 1: have a rare disorder and if I don't have catchup
Speaker 1: on my salami, I could die. Well, me and my
Speaker 1: but we obviously we had Danny and I Danny connections,
Speaker 1: and I we both had to get our own sandwiches
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't cut it in half. So we got
Speaker 1: our own and I could have ripped it with my fingers, Sampe.
Speaker 1: They don't give you condiments like that. They don't give
Speaker 1: you like forks. They've knives, They don't give you anything.
Speaker 1: This place of it opens this. I get that. I
Speaker 1: get that. But the thing is they are so hell
Speaker 1: bent on I get it cash only, no extras. This
Speaker 1: is tradition. We want you to experience it just the
Speaker 1: way they did in the nineteen hundred, say Philadelphia, it's
Speaker 1: like you go for a cheese, take it's went without
Speaker 1: like give me cheese, no cheese. They got an option
Speaker 1: and they give you. They do give you the three
Speaker 1: options to cheese. You what, Mutchell, you want American or
Speaker 1: you want it's Swiss. But I swear to you Brodie
Speaker 1: cheese options. But not a mustard, Danny, Danny said. Danny said,
Speaker 1: well I don't. First of all, I like mustard, so
Speaker 1: I didn't care. Danny's like, oh no, no no, no mustard
Speaker 1: on mine. And like all three people behind the counter
Speaker 1: like it looks like they look like they see they
Speaker 1: go yes, signed yes. And then the guy with the
Speaker 1: spatula points up at the sign with the spatula and
Speaker 1: he goes and there it is is a picture of
Speaker 1: a mustard bottle with a face on it, and it
Speaker 1: said that was That was where it said, don't mess
Speaker 1: with tradition. We will every single sandwhich comes with mustard,
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. So so there it
Speaker 1: was the guy mustard you mustard you all everyone gets mustard.
Speaker 1: You get mustard, you get mustard. But it's the most asinine.
Speaker 1: It's the most asinine rule I've heard in my life,
Speaker 1: because we saw them pull the salami off the grill
Speaker 1: and with this bachelor put it in the bun, he
Speaker 1: put the cheese on it, and then he has to
Speaker 1: walk over to the mustard bottle. Now, why can't the
Speaker 1: guy be a nice guy and just hand fucking Danny
Speaker 1: his sandwich? What the hell does he have to go
Speaker 1: bloop and then close it up and handed him like
Speaker 1: that ice cream place. I told you that wouldn't put
Speaker 1: two scoops, two different flavors in a cup. But this
Speaker 1: is different, all right, just right, right, right? Yes, and no,
Speaker 1: actually it's similar because it's like, what what difference does
Speaker 1: it make if I dipped my hand in the chocolate
Speaker 1: versus the strawberry. Well, they didn't want pete, They didn't
Speaker 1: want the kids to have to go from like one
Speaker 1: end of the long counter. Okay, so maybe that's a
Speaker 1: little more time consuming. I'll tell you what, we're saving
Speaker 1: them time by not applying mustard. They would they refuse
Speaker 1: to hand the sandwich over without squirt mustard on the
Speaker 1: damn thing. Shocking anyway, that's that. And then and then,
Speaker 1: and then then the bagel war began. I'm not like,
Speaker 1: can I just interrupt for a second because you're talking
Speaker 1: about mustard, which I hate. Yesterday, I think it was yesterday.
Speaker 1: It could have been a day before, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1: Hines was trending on Twitter. So I thought number one,
Speaker 1: did Hinz die? Because when you see famous thing like
Speaker 1: did they die? But I thought like, oh, maybe Heinz
Speaker 1: has a new product out, you know, like this is exciting.
Speaker 1: It turns I got a very scared scary. I was
Speaker 1: very scared. You know, my hens catch up and we're
Speaker 1: very you know, they were. They were just they announced
Speaker 1: that they're no longer gonna have the naming rights to
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers stadium. Hines fee. But I got scared
Speaker 1: for a second that I'm okay with that because I
Speaker 1: don't like the Steelers, and so for me, I was
Speaker 1: always torn, like, but I like Hines and they they
Speaker 1: have the stadium. Not enough to worry about it. Now
Speaker 1: it's like they're gonna be some you know, whatever stadium
Speaker 1: they're gonna be. When I saw Heines, I got little worried.
Speaker 1: Uh the mustard thing. Now, I'll tell you what. Let
Speaker 1: me say the bagel thing for a minute. Let's tease
Speaker 1: you with the bagel thing. Um, just you guys who
Speaker 1: google in the meantime, uh Fairmount bagel and sat Viatore bagel.
Speaker 1: That's a v I A t e u r. The
Speaker 1: one sounds like a New York bagel place did not
Speaker 1: named after the French streets that they're on in Mile End, Montreal, Okay,
Speaker 1: And there are there are two blocks from each other,
Speaker 1: and they are the biggest they they fight like cats
Speaker 1: and dogs. They are the biggest bagel rivalry. They hate
Speaker 1: each other. It's like Pats and Geno's in Philly cheese steaks.
Speaker 1: It's like you name, you name, the classic war. But
Speaker 1: so so bagels first of all, are a thing in Montreal.
Speaker 1: They are a thing. They're legitimately. I didn't know there
Speaker 1: they could make bagels good outside of New York. Now.
Speaker 1: You know, we make fun of you know, we make
Speaker 1: fun of a lot of things, and when when it
Speaker 1: comes to bagels, we usually leave this area and go
Speaker 1: to other cities and America and other areas of the world.
Speaker 1: Were like bagels, It's all about a New York bagel
Speaker 1: funk that you can't reproduce a New York bagel. Well
Speaker 1: in Montreal. I want to just say, for people in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia listening, it's what you called a bagel a bagel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's what we're talking about for the Philadelphians. Love
Speaker 1: you guys. So I was my jaw hit the floor
Speaker 1: when I even found out there were this many Jewish
Speaker 1: people living there, and there was not only the schwartz
Speaker 1: Is Deli O and Arthur's Nash which is another place,
Speaker 1: but all these Jewish places were from the nineties, twenties
Speaker 1: and thirties and forties, and this Lenet Sky like lunch
Speaker 1: place I just went to that I was My mind
Speaker 1: was blown because I always thought Montreal was just a
Speaker 1: French influenced, you know city, and they have like an old,
Speaker 1: old area that looks like an European city and you're
Speaker 1: not in like North America anymore. I didn't know it
Speaker 1: how to Jewish, not knowing anything about Montreal. Correct, I
Speaker 1: had to learned as I as I went, and I
Speaker 1: quickly found out their bagel situation is serious. They love
Speaker 1: their bagels, and so of course here I come in
Speaker 1: Mr Hyen, mighty New Yorker and I went to the
Speaker 1: Fairmount Bagel place and I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, you're gonna love this with two Brodie.
Speaker 1: They they you go, you go, you order the bagel
Speaker 1: and it's coming hot off the conveyor belt. Why would
Speaker 1: you say I'm gonna love it? Do I already know
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna love yes, because I know because you're
Speaker 1: gonna scream right here, right let me scream. You're gonna
Speaker 1: scream because they're both places did this to me. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm getting my I got a pillow here. Let me
Speaker 1: let me get my pillow. They do bagels the same way. Onion, sesame, poppy, everything,
Speaker 1: you know whatever. They're coming off the conveyor belt. They
Speaker 1: hot one comes off. They hand it to me and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wanted this. Can you cut this? And
Speaker 1: can I have uh cream cheese? And they look at
Speaker 1: me and they're like, we don't cut the bagels. Here's
Speaker 1: a plastic knife, and we don't put cream cheese and butter.
Speaker 1: If you want single, if you want single serves, hold
Speaker 1: on any time. They're fifteen cents each. They give you
Speaker 1: the little ones that you would get, like you a
Speaker 1: little side of cream cheese individually. So I opened the
Speaker 1: refrigerator door and I get to cups of Philadelphia cream cheese. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, they sell they even, sir, they even
Speaker 1: sell the jelly, the plastic jellies, you know it that
Speaker 1: way you rip the foil off, you get like on
Speaker 1: the side of your You know that they serve the
Speaker 1: butter and the jelly like you do in a toast
Speaker 1: and a dinner. When they give you extra, you peel.
Speaker 1: You peel the top off. Dude, you're fifteen cents each,
Speaker 1: So like how many okay, that's three jellies and two
Speaker 1: cream cheeses and they're like fifteen fifteen fifteen okay. So
Speaker 1: just imagine wherever you live in America, whatever the food
Speaker 1: is where you're from, that you know how it's made.
Speaker 1: Imagine going like that's how you make barbecue, Like that's
Speaker 1: what That's how I feel right now that you would
Speaker 1: give cream cheese and a thing and unwrapping like you
Speaker 1: gotta get it yourself. Say say no, here's a plastic
Speaker 1: knife and go to the refrigerator there, take three cream
Speaker 1: cheeses out and they had all this. So they're selling
Speaker 1: this selling butter and cream, cheeses and jellies. Oh my,
Speaker 1: it was very funny. So like, all right, you know what,
Speaker 1: and then we'll go make our own bagel outside. We'll
Speaker 1: like stand over a mailbox and cut it into himself
Speaker 1: checkout at a grocery store. You do it all the work,
Speaker 1: but I will, I'll say so. So that I went outside,
Speaker 1: we dressed the bagel up, me and Danny. We split
Speaker 1: half half. I've been into it. This is the Fairmount
Speaker 1: bagel to open the nineteen nineteen I believe it was.
Speaker 1: It was okay, it was right on par with a
Speaker 1: very good New York bagel, like are very doughey, it
Speaker 1: has that baked taste and whatever the case, and like, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: very good, excellent, excellent, right alright, Brodie, it was it
Speaker 1: was really good. Okay. Then we walked over to St.
Speaker 1: Viator Bagel. Now the St. Viator bagel is a less
Speaker 1: Brady bagel. The bagels there has given me Stacy's Pizza vibes,
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't sound like a bagel place to me,
Speaker 1: it sounds like a cross salt place. Well, apparently, according
Speaker 1: to Montreal people, this bagel place kicks fair amounts ass.
Speaker 1: So I had to see what this is all about.
Speaker 1: Is this the the fara pizza of bagel? Place? Yes,
Speaker 1: walked in, did the same process, plastic knife, individually charged,
Speaker 1: where you go out. We dressed the bagel. Take one
Speaker 1: fucking bite. By the way you dressed the bagel. That
Speaker 1: sounds so non new. Will you dress it? You spread it?
Speaker 1: I put the ship on the bagel. I put a
Speaker 1: schmir cream cheese on. I put a schmir right. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've been into it. It was fucking fire. It was brody,
Speaker 1: it was It was the best. I'm going on record
Speaker 1: here the best bagel I've ever eaten, hands down. And
Speaker 1: that includes any place in Brooklyn, the five any of
Speaker 1: the rest of the five Barros, Manhattan, North Jersey. Killing
Speaker 1: me brody, I'm gonna say. And when the guy left,
Speaker 1: first of all, as good as the bagels at Saddel's.
Speaker 1: You bragged about fund for days. Better than a Siddel's bagel.
Speaker 1: Here's and and here's well. First of all, the guy
Speaker 1: behind the counter, cocky son of a bitch. So he goes,
Speaker 1: oh bagel without mustard, he said to me, No, he
Speaker 1: said to me, goes, listen, he goes. He's all, you're
Speaker 1: doing the bagel thing. He goes, you're from New York. Okay,
Speaker 1: he did you do fair amount? I said, yeah. So
Speaker 1: first of all, he knocks his competite down the block.
Speaker 1: That's if he goes because dude, you can't have those,
Speaker 1: because you gotta you have those. Now you have these,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be ruined for life. Our bagels are
Speaker 1: better than their's. Oh and you're from New York. You
Speaker 1: don't eat bagels, he fucking insulted me. He goes, you
Speaker 1: eat bread, you guys, he pointed at me, because you
Speaker 1: guys are eating bread in New York. He goes, taste
Speaker 1: my bagel. So I'm like, I'm like, all right, so
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you. They boil their bagels in
Speaker 1: a sweet onion bath first, and you know which, and
Speaker 1: I could caramelize his situation. It makes the bagel have
Speaker 1: an overall sweet taste to it. Then they do the
Speaker 1: baking process and do what they due to it. But man,
Speaker 1: oh man, it was and it was a little less bready,
Speaker 1: and I kind of liked it, and it was crispy
Speaker 1: and brody, and listen, here come to here come the
Speaker 1: fucking complaints. You haven't tried Union Utopia bagel on Union
Speaker 1: Turnpike and Queens arguably the best bagel in New York
Speaker 1: because critics say, so, I haven't you You haven't tried
Speaker 1: this bagel, You haven't tried that, And here come to
Speaker 1: the bagel people now and everyone's doing. That's what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Imagine slices. You live somewhere where like you live in
Speaker 1: South Carolina with a barbecue is the best barbecue, right
Speaker 1: you believe like where you're from, and Scary tells you
Speaker 1: know you haven't had barbecue till you go to Seattle.
Speaker 1: Like that's what you're doing right now. I know I'm
Speaker 1: doing it. I'm putting it all out there too. Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: You don't know cheese steaks until you go to Alaska
Speaker 1: and have cheese steaks. That's what you are doing right now.
Speaker 1: These right here are perfect analogies. And I'm gonna stand by.
Speaker 1: I am willing to put my head in the Gilly
Speaker 1: gillotine and say, taste it, Taste all the bagels. And
Speaker 1: if you think you don't can Anecticutte Scary saying right now,
Speaker 1: you don't know pizza until you go to Montana. That's
Speaker 1: what's scary saying right now, this is blasphemy. It is
Speaker 1: and Brody I wanted, I'm like you, I want New York.
Speaker 1: I wanted so badly to walk in there and hate it.
Speaker 1: I was a fucking hater and I'm like, let me
Speaker 1: see what this is all about. This is a bunch
Speaker 1: of bullshit. You know were you were you drinking? No,
Speaker 1: this was twelve o'clock in the afternoon. I hadn't had
Speaker 1: one little piece of alcohol, not one drop of alcohol,
Speaker 1: serve alcohol and chunks all of that. What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? But one? And so with that said, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the St. Viatore bagel, bagel, whatever you
Speaker 1: wanna call it, bagel, bagel, okay, is outstanding and it's
Speaker 1: probably this at this point the better let's put this
Speaker 1: way better than it is the best bagel that I've
Speaker 1: that I've are tasted. I'm gonna go out there. It's
Speaker 1: my number one and it's higher than any New York
Speaker 1: bagel I've ever had. And Fairmount Bagels are right there
Speaker 1: on par with some of the best New York bagels
Speaker 1: they've got. Fair in the name I I wish I
Speaker 1: would have been able to bring some home. Did you
Speaker 1: ask if they shipped them for you. You know what,
Speaker 1: I bet you if you're going gold Belly, it's there,
Speaker 1: but it's probably it's probably not the same. Let me
Speaker 1: say something at gold Belly not a sponsor. Gold Belly
Speaker 1: is a company that gives you access to the finest
Speaker 1: of every state's food that you can have shipped to
Speaker 1: your house. If you're a fucking millionaire. They it's like
Speaker 1: ten times depressed. I want to get Geo Dano's pizza
Speaker 1: shipped to my house, my favorite Chicago deep dish pizza.
Speaker 1: Here it is ty dollars for two three pies. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: the pizzas like twenty five dollars and the shipping is
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty dollars. Here it is Bertie on
Speaker 1: on gold Belly the st Viator bagel shop, the home
Speaker 1: of Montreal's iconic bagels. Okay, first time, how many bagels
Speaker 1: you get? I'll try to guess the price. How many bagels? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: this can't be right. I thought it was a type
Speaker 1: at first. No. God, you know why they called gold
Speaker 1: Belly because your belly actually has to be made a
Speaker 1: goal to afford it. Go ahead and tell me how
Speaker 1: many bagels you get, and I'll tell you what the
Speaker 1: price is. I'm not looking them on online. Go ahead
Speaker 1: to two dozen bagels. Now, I'm assuming this dozen bakers,
Speaker 1: dozen twenty four bagels of your choice, assorting whatever. By
Speaker 1: the way, five dollars come on, man, um, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: sixty four dollars plus bagels, two dozen, twenty four bagels.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's not too less than three dollars a
Speaker 1: bagel plus Wait wait, ship ship shipping right, No, no,
Speaker 1: this is just on the shipping Amazon that ship. Let
Speaker 1: me add two cart Actually, you know what, Bertie check out.
Speaker 1: Let me see how much it's gonna cost me. Yep,
Speaker 1: for dollars at least. Uh oh, it wants me to
Speaker 1: go through this first. Nothing's under a hundred dollars scary,
Speaker 1: Come on, let's not. Let's not here. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: be allright, Um, alright, sixty four dollars alright? So shipping, alright,
Speaker 1: So even if it's eighty four bagels, obviously, if you
Speaker 1: walked in, that's a rip off. But for them to
Speaker 1: ship internationally, that's that's the problem. They're not gonna come
Speaker 1: hot out of the oven. They're gonna send it. Frozen
Speaker 1: pizza is different. They're gonna eat a pizza. You can't
Speaker 1: eat a bagel. Frozen bagel, No, that's gonna have the
Speaker 1: same quality. Alright, so listen if you but if you
Speaker 1: want to treat you want to ship it to your house,
Speaker 1: I'll pick up half. I would do that. I'll go
Speaker 1: half for you. Yeah. Well anyway, right, okay, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: move on. Um, just know that here I am declaring this,
Speaker 1: it could be all out war between the mustard and
Speaker 1: the bagel story. I'm I'm never going to montre all right,
Speaker 1: so let's take a quick break. Let's get recent. But
Speaker 1: have a bone to pick with you? Say I got
Speaker 1: a bone to pick with you? Okay, let me end
Speaker 1: up my pants slices. Do you have that friend who
Speaker 1: says things like I'm never going to a three D
Speaker 1: movie and wearing those stupid glasses. You guys are eightiots,
Speaker 1: and then you find out they went to a three
Speaker 1: D movie? Right? You have that friend who says, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll never eat frozen bagels from a bag, and then
Speaker 1: you find out he's eating frozen bagels from a bag.
Speaker 1: You have that guy who stands on a high horse.
Speaker 1: You know that that girl that that who's like, I'll
Speaker 1: never use makeup that's tested on animals. But then you
Speaker 1: find out she really likes that lipstick that was tested
Speaker 1: on animals, even though for years she's been ranting against it.
Speaker 1: You all have those those pist off about those super
Speaker 1: uh those friends that are like high and mighty about something. Oh,
Speaker 1: I would never do that. Then you catch them doing it,
Speaker 1: and you disapine. You look at them and you want
Speaker 1: to just vomit. You look at me, go, I don't
Speaker 1: even know who you are. You're dead to me. Who
Speaker 1: are you? Well, my friends, Scary Joe Bones has become
Speaker 1: that person. Do you have any dramatic music? Imagine scary
Speaker 1: hitting dun duntone, dun dundone. If you've listened to this podcast,
Speaker 1: you know that's Scary Jones and I. It's together. We
Speaker 1: agree on this. We are purists when it comes to music.
Speaker 1: We feel you should appreciate music. I know where you're
Speaker 1: going with this now, whether it's new or old. You
Speaker 1: should be a fan of music. You should be a
Speaker 1: student of the game. You should not wear a Yankees hat.
Speaker 1: If you don't know baseball, you should you should know.
Speaker 1: You should be a Yankees fan don't wear the Yankee
Speaker 1: had is a fashion statement. Well, Scary Jones many times
Speaker 1: on this podcast we've talked about this gets annoyed when
Speaker 1: he sees mostly younger people in their twenties or teenage kids,
Speaker 1: uh wearing a Nirvana shirt or a Beetle shirt or
Speaker 1: a Maiden shirt, and then if you asked him about it,
Speaker 1: they go, I don't even know who this is. I
Speaker 1: don't know guns and Roses. I just wear the shirt. Scary,
Speaker 1: would you admit that drives you crazy? Bat slices. You've
Speaker 1: all heard Scary. I've done it. He's done. No, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna die it. It's all there. You can go
Speaker 1: back to the episodes and hear me talk about this.
Speaker 1: For me, it's always the eighties metal. If I see
Speaker 1: someone in a Deaf Leppard shirt or a kids shirt
Speaker 1: and then don't know the music, I go, you know what,
Speaker 1: that's my music. Shut the funk, get that shirt off.
Speaker 1: For Scary, it's always Nirvana or Pearl Jam because that's
Speaker 1: for beastie boys. He gets so mad when he sees
Speaker 1: a Guns and Roses shirt because he knows they don't
Speaker 1: know Guns and Roses. They can't name three songs? Am
Speaker 1: I right? Scary? Yeah? Sure he shouldn't sign off early Monday,
Speaker 1: Monday July twelve, Monday July eleventh, my friends strap in
Speaker 1: baby because it's like it's the equivalent of Scary Sandies
Speaker 1: are the best bagels in the world. In Canada, Scary
Speaker 1: Jones came in wearing his shirt that said Jimmie Hendricks
Speaker 1: on it. I rest my case Scary Jones does not
Speaker 1: like Jimmie Hendricks. Scary Jones, I said, Scary, you don't
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Hendricks. Huh what scary name three Jimmy Hendricks songs?
Speaker 1: Guess what he could not I said, I said Purple Haze,
Speaker 1: and then I started grappling. Yea, but here's the first
Speaker 1: just say, you know, grappling not a Jimmy Hendricks you.
Speaker 1: So when I bought the shirt a Target, I bought
Speaker 1: it at l of the theory was it theory? No? No,
Speaker 1: it was Lucky did as as the label Hippo crypt
Speaker 1: you know Lucky brand jeans. In the mall, they were
Speaker 1: running a T shirt sale and it was like three
Speaker 1: for blank. So I've had two shirts in my hand
Speaker 1: and then the third shirt and I'm looking at the pile,
Speaker 1: and I was attracted to this light purple lavender. I
Speaker 1: do like shades of lavender, purple and pink. I really do.
Speaker 1: I wear that a lot. So like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm sure fifteen year old emo kids like black T
Speaker 1: shirts with guns and Roses logoes on. I said, look
Speaker 1: at this lavender shirt. It looks it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: any of the rest in the in the he went
Speaker 1: to Target in Jersey City together and a kid walked
Speaker 1: out in a guns and Roses shirt and you said, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to just rip that shirt off that kid.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? How angry you got? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: to go on? So you wanted you needed the third
Speaker 1: shirt to get the discount. We love a good discount.
Speaker 1: It was also the best color shirt of the lot.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it's unique. It sticks out,
Speaker 1: and it's just happened, to say Jimmie hendricks on it.
Speaker 1: It just happened. So I grabbed it and then I
Speaker 1: wore it that day, and now it should be told.
Speaker 1: I know, I know Jimmy Hendricks I know a few
Speaker 1: of his songs. But when you when you gu when
Speaker 1: you do gun, when you do gun to your head,
Speaker 1: he used to light his guitar and fire used to
Speaker 1: like pour gasoline on it. What was unique about give
Speaker 1: me one thing that was unique about the way he
Speaker 1: played guitar versus most guitar players. He was a left
Speaker 1: handed guitarist. I give you that, Okay, I'm a left
Speaker 1: I'm a lefty, so I can respect that. And I
Speaker 1: knew that he's the left handed guitarist, and he used to.
Speaker 1: He played that guitar arguably better than any one else
Speaker 1: that's ever existed. But when you do gun to the
Speaker 1: head and you say scary name three Jimmy Hendrick songs,
Speaker 1: I was like Hamma, Hamma, Hama hama because I couldn't
Speaker 1: my mind couldn't think of all along the watch Tower.
Speaker 1: It couldn't have it didn't think of hey, Joe, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying it. But I should have known those,
Speaker 1: and I should have been able to put a Foxy
Speaker 1: Lady another great one. I can't name any beyond that,
Speaker 1: but I should have actually had those, because those were
Speaker 1: his hits, Foxy Lady, All along the watch Tower and
Speaker 1: Purple Hayes, Red House, a Little Wing. What you should
Speaker 1: have done was you should have said, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy this shirt, but to do a justice,
Speaker 1: to be a man of a man of character, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go on on on I Heart Radio and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna listen to Jimmie Hendrick songs and I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: it and understand it. So if somebody comes up to
Speaker 1: me like Brody, I'm gonna know the songs. I wasn't
Speaker 1: prepared when you I didn't expect you. You You just said
Speaker 1: scary the first day back from a two week vacation,
Speaker 1: where I might point out you could have been listening
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Hendricks where I made where I made point
Speaker 1: out that my brain is still on vacation because we
Speaker 1: came back from two weeks of my brain being mush.
Speaker 1: I'm just some of the words. You were a big
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hendricks fan before vacation. No, I'm just saying what
Speaker 1: was for me back when I was with my friends
Speaker 1: back in the day. We used to listen to that
Speaker 1: old school classic rock, and we used to listen to
Speaker 1: Jimmy Day must of all my boy Jason Smaller, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Hendrix is one of his favorite artists of all time.
Speaker 1: I could saying you're old scary, but went back in
Speaker 1: the day Jimmy Hendricks wasn't classic rock. It was just
Speaker 1: rock at that point. No, I'm talking about the night
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Jimmy Hendricks music from the early seventies,
Speaker 1: late sixties was classic. Alright, you're saying back in the day, nineties, right,
Speaker 1: So I yes, I know I could sing his songs
Speaker 1: Foxy Lady, his songs or sing a chorus one and
Speaker 1: I know all along the watch Tower, I know that.
Speaker 1: Um what Joe, Hey, Joe, that's it, sing Joe for me,
Speaker 1: give me, give me purple Hayes, give me purple Haze.
Speaker 1: Did you know did you know Andrews played he played
Speaker 1: left handed, but he actually played a right handed guitar
Speaker 1: upside down? Did you know that, dad? I didn't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he played upside down. They didn't. They didn't do
Speaker 1: what Paul McCartney does and and play an actual guitar,
Speaker 1: a left handed guitar. He obviously played a right handed guy.
Speaker 1: Look at any picture him the guitarist upside down. Because
Speaker 1: I am at from what I remember, I don't enough
Speaker 1: to tweet me about it. I believe he didn't have
Speaker 1: the money to buy back in the day. You know,
Speaker 1: he had to learn he had to learn everything in
Speaker 1: reverse order, or wow, that's talent. Yeah, and you know what,
Speaker 1: to show that man respect for being one of the
Speaker 1: greatest guitar players of all time, for being a rock
Speaker 1: guitarist at a time when when that when black musicians
Speaker 1: were not doing rock me using, even though some would
Speaker 1: say they invented it. Uh, you do not pay the
Speaker 1: man any respect by wearing a lavender shirt, not even

Speaker 1: Do you know what he's singing about? No, I couldn't
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't think anybody on this listening to this. Okay. So,
Speaker 1: so as far as the way people say things, you
Speaker 1: were there this morning, I almost got into a not
Speaker 1: an argument, but Elvis and I were going back and
Speaker 1: forth a little bit this morning because he took it
Speaker 1: very seriously. My friend put up a high coup, which,
Speaker 1: if you know a thing about high coups, is like
Speaker 1: a poem that's five syllables seven and it's of the
Speaker 1: Japanese descent. Yes, So he put up a high coup
Speaker 1: and it was something like, um, four was theater well?
Speaker 1: Was theater worth? Thor? Was theater worthy? Was the first line? Thor?
Speaker 1: Was theater worthy? How many syllables is that four? Or
Speaker 1: was yeah? Theater? Oh that's a tricky one. Theater where
Speaker 1: the case either it's gonna be either six or seven.
Speaker 1: So right, So so because because the theater is arguably
Speaker 1: three syllables, or is it too well, that's the thing,
Speaker 1: and it may have been there, it may have been
Speaker 1: four theater where it may have ben four theater worthy
Speaker 1: or theater or whatever it was was something, but I
Speaker 1: thought it was full syllable. But don't some people say theater,
Speaker 1: well the I don't say theater, but the British people,
Speaker 1: British British people say theater okay, and Canadians spell it
Speaker 1: like r E theatre right. So I I made a
Speaker 1: joke and I said, I wrote a high coup about
Speaker 1: how he owes us a syllable and I'm disappointed. So
Speaker 1: he wrote back, what are you talking about? I go
Speaker 1: with theater two syllables. Now look admittedly scary. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm a grammar nutt. I'm like theater. So I google
Speaker 1: how do you pronounce theater? And I get videos and
Speaker 1: and English professors and they're all like theater th h
Speaker 1: E E d E R the theater. You go to
Speaker 1: the movie theater. So I said, Elvis, it's theater. It's
Speaker 1: two syllables. He says, so did he and Nako it's
Speaker 1: theater so that because it's theater. So I go, yeah, theater,
Speaker 1: here's no no, there's an a in their theater. He's
Speaker 1: saying three syllables. But no, you're not. You're saying theater.
Speaker 1: He goes, no, I'm saying theater. I go, you're saying theater.
Speaker 1: He goes, no, I'm saying theater. Theater. He goes, it's fast.
Speaker 1: I go, I don't cow fast. You're saying it. It's
Speaker 1: not there. So he was insisting, scary. I I know
Speaker 1: in the in the dictionary it's three syllables. I get that,
Speaker 1: But do you know anyone that says it is three
Speaker 1: syllables because theater? No, we slour our words. I'm looky,
Speaker 1: I opened my mouth to speak half this country. When
Speaker 1: they when they put music together, it's like they're more.
Speaker 1: They got marvels in their mouth and they're going they're lazy.
Speaker 1: They're lazy, even from a part of the country where
Speaker 1: did you eat three sella is jet right? It's one syllable.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I can't I can't protest it because
Speaker 1: I yeah, this is what we this is what we
Speaker 1: were accustomed to. We're accustomed to people's shortening things. We're lazy.
Speaker 1: We got lazy tongue. Lazy tongue. We've got a commercial break,
Speaker 1: another one. We're just trying to keep on pace. Here.
Speaker 1: We got a couple more left, and we've got some
Speaker 1: more things to talk about. Get the Scambony jingle ready, scary,
Speaker 1: I get ready? Yes, okay, but first I want to
Speaker 1: tell you about a grand reopening. It's the podcast. It's
Speaker 1: just like you're about to do a commercial. But I
Speaker 1: was not aware of it. Oh wait a minute, scary.
Speaker 1: We well, we'll get to that in a second. Let's
Speaker 1: leave that to the end, all right, And it's just
Speaker 1: a teaser anyway, but we'll get to I still want
Speaker 1: to forget. We have some housekeeping things. We want to
Speaker 1: tell you about, some exciting new things happening. And have
Speaker 1: that jingle ready to I will yes, yes, yes, all right,
Speaker 1: but really quickly, just a big shout out to the
Speaker 1: New York Aquarium. And I'm saying this with goose bumps.
Speaker 1: And I talked about a quickly on the Big Show. Okay,
Speaker 1: half the other jingle ready by And I grew up
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, you know, Brooklyn. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys know that, listening to the Brooken Boys podcast, and
Speaker 1: for years, as kids the brook we would go to
Speaker 1: the New York Aquarium as children, you know, we it
Speaker 1: was it was not only the local aquarium, but it
Speaker 1: was the only aquarium in New York, New York, the
Speaker 1: New York City, New York City. It's the New York Aquarium.
Speaker 1: And this is where we got to see marine wildlife
Speaker 1: and and all kinds of beautiful things. Now it's seen
Speaker 1: its day and it's suffered over the years. But when
Speaker 1: Hurricane Sandy came around in two thousand twelve or yes,
Speaker 1: it was decimated. It was like, forget it, because it
Speaker 1: was it's it's in Coney Island on the water. Two
Speaker 1: or three two of the exhibits, one of them would
Speaker 1: just two of them hadn't even opened yet, and the
Speaker 1: and the thing got just crushed like totaled, and then
Speaker 1: the other couple were drowned out, and it was just
Speaker 1: it was a fucking mess. So over the years they've
Speaker 1: hobbled back. I would say that they were crippled, and
Speaker 1: then we would say they they paddled back. Yes they did,
Speaker 1: and little by little they opened the you know some
Speaker 1: you know, you know, they opened some exhibits here and there.
Speaker 1: Here we have they have they have they finished hi.
Speaker 1: So here we are, ten years removed from Hurricane Sandy.
Speaker 1: And I just want to say congratulations because I they
Speaker 1: gave me a walking tour of the brand new, reopened, refurbished, bigger,
Speaker 1: better than ever New York Aquarium. After ten years. The
Speaker 1: entire aquarium is over and I'm sorry it's the quiet.
Speaker 1: Entire aquarium is opened and they're at full capacity. Because
Speaker 1: COVID also set them back where you had to buy
Speaker 1: to specific tickets and certain exhibits were closed. It was
Speaker 1: pretty much like mask half open amusement park and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: those four rides are closed, but you know, enjoy these
Speaker 1: three until COVID had to wear Scooba mask. Yeah okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: So anyway, congratulations to you guys at the aquarium, and
Speaker 1: everyone should go to the New York Aquarium. You know,
Speaker 1: when I think of the aquarium, you know what I
Speaker 1: think of what hit the jingle? Bitch? What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Hit the jingle? Scary? I don't get I
Speaker 1: did not hear a disclaimer at the beginning, Oh the
Speaker 1: one where it says, oh, by the way, Jones about

Speaker 1: radio station they are they are a part of they
Speaker 1: are a client of mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 1: but they're part of the Wildlife Conservation Society. We're very
Speaker 1: you're very concerned about the Bronx zoo. Is is one
Speaker 1: leg of that. Okay, you know what, people can go
Speaker 1: on the website here, I'm just saying, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not getting half the money for this commercial. Doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 1: It means Brodie, a Brooklyn and iconic Brooklyn treasure. That
Speaker 1: I was educational for our children and the future of
Speaker 1: the avenue. You not a sponsor, doesn't pimony. God, not
Speaker 1: as fine. I just talked about for the peace. I'm
Speaker 1: just here for the isis out of the goodness of
Speaker 1: my heart. I'm shining a light on something that's educational. No,
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, but well the only real Okay, guess what.
Speaker 1: Had I not been the ambassador for them, I might
Speaker 1: not have known all these in this information. So I
Speaker 1: thank I thank them for making me the ambassador of
Speaker 1: the New York Aquarium. Scary Scary gets special Ambassador parking
Speaker 1: and he gets a say, I'm just I thank you, guys,
Speaker 1: because now you've opened my eyes to what's going on there,
Speaker 1: and that now I could spread the good word that
Speaker 1: it's open and full and and and yeah, this is
Speaker 1: not a commercial, this is a public service. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: come on, it's aim. Why don't we to the zoo
Speaker 1: we talked about. Why don't we tell since we're talking
Speaker 1: about aquariums now great they are, why don't we talk
Speaker 1: about the incredible Camden and Aquarium. We could, but I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it. Right if they talked me
Speaker 1: about it, if someone say, hey, scary, shout us out
Speaker 1: the Candid Aquarium because because they wrecked us and we
Speaker 1: were closed during COVID in Narrow open you listen. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses that need our help. I'd like
Speaker 1: to hear you mention all of the people that were
Speaker 1: damaged during Okay, don't be a snowflake now, because because
Speaker 1: this is what snowflakes do, they go down this road,
Speaker 1: not with us. You know, you hit the jingle. That's fine,
Speaker 1: We're good, all right. I'm as fact. I happened to
Speaker 1: love I listen. My father was a police officer in
Speaker 1: Coney Island. I went to the aquarium for free my
Speaker 1: whole life because he would walk me in and they
Speaker 1: would let me in as a courtesy, and so, and
Speaker 1: we went on school trips there and so I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of the big fan of the David. What
Speaker 1: were you you know, what were you about to say?
Speaker 1: Uh about what you teased? Something you said? Oh, scamboni
Speaker 1: scam SI, Yeah, I get that scam. I got a
Speaker 1: three scambonies for you, all right? Actually got sam. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, cools trying to pull the wool over our So,
Speaker 1: my cousin and I are at the the Bridgewater Mall
Speaker 1: in Lovely Bridgewater, New Jersey, home of what used to
Speaker 1: be ten years ago, the best food court in the area,
Speaker 1: but not any longer now it's average. Now half the
Speaker 1: food court they turned into retail stores, so not not
Speaker 1: as good as it used to be. So we're walking
Speaker 1: around and I have to say, scary. Look, we had
Speaker 1: a global pandemic. Malls were not the most popular place.
Speaker 1: They still learned, right, but it's been declined for the
Speaker 1: past twenty years. Yes, they have not recovered though from
Speaker 1: people not going shopping. Plus now on top of that,
Speaker 1: because of the pandemic, people got even more used to
Speaker 1: shopping online. Right. So the mall, Although I love walking
Speaker 1: the mall, there a lot of empty stores and a
Speaker 1: lot of the stores that were there all had signs sales.
Speaker 1: Sales signs uh in chalk, you know, like those those
Speaker 1: sandwich boards that like the that you put them out,
Speaker 1: the A shape boards. Uh, Eddie Bauer fifty up to
Speaker 1: fifty sent off. By the way, we talked about this,
Speaker 1: up to fifty pc off means one thing in the
Speaker 1: store that you don't want is off, and everything else
Speaker 1: is tempert sent off or twenty which is still you know,
Speaker 1: we know the it's kind of the the um what
Speaker 1: the bate and switch or the or the they wiel
Speaker 1: you in. They pull you in with one razzle dazzle
Speaker 1: moment and then oh, by the way, look over here instead.
Speaker 1: But not only did they do the up to Scamboni,
Speaker 1: every sign advertising a sale had a different version of
Speaker 1: these expressions. Big sale exclusions apply, big sale, some exclusions apply,
Speaker 1: big sale. Some exclusions may apply. Big sale exclusions apply,
Speaker 1: ask for details, so big sale ever, So so we
Speaker 1: were in I was, I went into Eddie Bauer and uh,
Speaker 1: and the sign of Eddie Bauer said everything on sale.
Speaker 1: Some exclusions may apply. So do I say everything's on
Speaker 1: sale or no? No, the sign said everything on sale
Speaker 1: except where marked. So I'm looking at shirts that are
Speaker 1: on sale and next to them were some other item,
Speaker 1: another type of a zip next something, and it said
Speaker 1: it's specifically said not on sale. So the guy comes
Speaker 1: over and he says, uh, hey, those shirts are to
Speaker 1: let you know, and uh, those shirts that you're looking
Speaker 1: at right next to them, uh, those are not included
Speaker 1: in the sale. I said, yeah, the sign says not
Speaker 1: not included. Yep, I'm good. He says, yo, Well people
Speaker 1: think that. I go no, I saw the sign. So
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah. Well, you know, people get upset when
Speaker 1: they think everything's on sale. So my point is two points.
Speaker 1: Number one, if you don't read the sign, don't get
Speaker 1: mad at people, but get mad in general because they
Speaker 1: can't just v a sale. They gotta they gotta slip
Speaker 1: in the like you get all excited because you look
Speaker 1: in the window and you're like, oh, that sure looks great, right,
Speaker 1: and they go, now, that's not included, not included. So
Speaker 1: what's on sale? Scary the ship? The ship? You know
Speaker 1: that shirt? You want that that that really beautiful blue
Speaker 1: shirt that goes with your eyes. You can have the
Speaker 1: orange and yellow one. What about the Jimi Hendricks lavender
Speaker 1: T shirt? That's not sale? You buy two, you get one,
Speaker 1: freak this scale. Okay, so that's my first scam the
Speaker 1: exclusions of fly scale. Um, my second scamboni is okay,
Speaker 1: we are. I'm not going to say the pandemic is
Speaker 1: over because it's not. In fact, sadly a coworker of
Speaker 1: ours lost a close relative. It's still going on. I
Speaker 1: get that. But people have taken advantage. And so when
Speaker 1: you go to concerts or celebrity events, now there's really
Speaker 1: no meet and greets, right, there's no backstage meeting greets.
Speaker 1: They're all not doing them. But now what they're doing
Speaker 1: is virtual meet and greets. So slices. I want to
Speaker 1: know your opinion on this. I'm watching I'm watching the
Speaker 1: Mets game and they're like, oh, you can enter this
Speaker 1: sweepstakes to win a virtual meet and greet with first
Speaker 1: base brim Peterlanzo. Now I know that it might be
Speaker 1: a little bit okay, like it's probably fun to be
Speaker 1: on a face time with Pete Alanzo. Again, I love
Speaker 1: it's pretty much face timing or zooming with Pete Alonzo.
Speaker 1: That's what that's a virtual meet and greet. It's like
Speaker 1: watching porn. You're not actually having sex. That's virtual sex.
Speaker 1: So a virtual meet and greed is like it's you
Speaker 1: virtually meet. No you're not. You're like he's on a screen.
Speaker 1: You're on a screen. He might as well be on television. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're talking to him, but it's personalized and it's real
Speaker 1: time feedback. It's like he sees you, you see him,
Speaker 1: and you get to talk to him and ask you questions.
Speaker 1: How easy is it for Pete? I love Pete. I look,
Speaker 1: Pete does a lot of charity work. I'm not nothing
Speaker 1: against Pete or the Mets, but that's the culture we
Speaker 1: live in right now, is the virtual meet and greet.
Speaker 1: But you're the celebrity. You're sitting home going, uh, dial
Speaker 1: into this guy or they or like you just sit
Speaker 1: there and they let let people dial into a main number.
Speaker 1: Like so, I like, I think that's a scamboni. It
Speaker 1: is a scamp Well, I don't know if that's a scamboni.
Speaker 1: I just think that that's that pandemic culture has now
Speaker 1: bled into post pandemic culture, and they're gonna use those
Speaker 1: tag dicks and carry them over now and going forward,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the new norm. And I
Speaker 1: don't I think we need to go back to pre
Speaker 1: pandemic where this wasn't an option or even a thought,
Speaker 1: But now it's like, you know, everyone's doing it. Look,
Speaker 1: baseball pretty much working from home, right, Baseball players go
Speaker 1: up to people in stands. They still they go updates
Speaker 1: sign autographs there. You know they're not afraid to interact
Speaker 1: with the people, right, Yeah, I just and I look again,
Speaker 1: it's nothing about Pete. I love Pete and he does
Speaker 1: a lot of great has a foundation. It's not about Pete.
Speaker 1: Just reminded me. I think the virtual meeting great. Look
Speaker 1: if if my favorite rock star would be on my
Speaker 1: laptop and I had a conversation, that's it will be okay.
Speaker 1: But it's not. It's not the same. It's just that.
Speaker 1: So I think that's it's not it's not the same.
Speaker 1: It's not the same. So maybe they should show me
Speaker 1: the virtual Jimmy Hendricks fan. So I think you're having
Speaker 1: the problem with the term meet and greet because you're
Speaker 1: not really because you're not really meeting them, right because
Speaker 1: in your mind meet and greek is happening live in person.
Speaker 1: I think you should go face time. But I'll say
Speaker 1: that it's not a bones that the name, it's not
Speaker 1: sexy it's not sexy to say as sexy to say
Speaker 1: FaceTime with Pete as virtual meet and greet Pete. You're
Speaker 1: getting the great he's gonna go hey, man, he's gonna
Speaker 1: say hi to you. But are you really meeting someone?
Speaker 1: If you VI, if we had a Brooklyn Boys event
Speaker 1: and it was on zoom that I mean, you guys
Speaker 1: wouldn't be like, oh we met the Brooklyn Boys. You
Speaker 1: didn't really meet us. You wouldn't tell your friends, hey,
Speaker 1: I had virtually met the Brooklyn Boys. All right, So
Speaker 1: what do you have? Another scamboni? And then we gotta
Speaker 1: take another break, and then we got two more scambonies. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you you've gone to call washers? Right? Yes, every call
Speaker 1: washer I've ever been to does the call wash scamboni.
Speaker 1: If you live in a place that doesn't do this,
Speaker 1: god bless you. But at least in New York and
Speaker 1: New Jersey, they all do to scamboni. Know what the
Speaker 1: scamboni is scary? You know? You know the menu of prices,
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, sixteen dollars for the exterior, only
Speaker 1: eighteen for the will will vacuum the floor undercarriage wash
Speaker 1: for like ten marriage simonized simonizing, and you're undercarriage washing.
Speaker 1: You got out the wheel bright bright back, and then
Speaker 1: your wheels at the end, and then they do that,
Speaker 1: they paint that black shit all over your tire at
Speaker 1: the very en armor all. Now imagine imagine going into
Speaker 1: a restaurant and you order the food, and then after
Speaker 1: you order it, you get to see the prices on
Speaker 1: the menu. That's what the car wash does. They make
Speaker 1: you get in the line, they make you wrap around,
Speaker 1: and then when you're third in line and can't get
Speaker 1: out of the line, you see the sign with the prices. Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: we saw the prices at the beginning before you got
Speaker 1: into the line that has the polls on both sides,
Speaker 1: so you're trapped. You'd go nineteen dollars for a car wash,
Speaker 1: the funk out of here, and you'd leave and go
Speaker 1: to the next one. You don't know, well I didn't well, well,
Speaker 1: first of all, you know, you know, shout out to
Speaker 1: that at price. It's because it's too Yeah, high five
Speaker 1: to that car wash. Who really fucked you? Good? The
Speaker 1: car washers I go to all give you the menu
Speaker 1: before you get your car and your wheel is stuck
Speaker 1: on that track and you're already in line. When you
Speaker 1: get out of that line. You can't get out of
Speaker 1: the line once you see that menu for you know,
Speaker 1: for the car wash you're talking about. But not all
Speaker 1: car washers are built the same the ones I go to.
Speaker 1: They tell you that you can drive off before your
Speaker 1: wheels are locked into that track and you're just in neutral. Okay. Well,
Speaker 1: the places, the places in Brooklyn I remember, and the
Speaker 1: places out here in Jersey, they have those the plastic
Speaker 1: polls up, yes, that show you where you can't get
Speaker 1: out of there, you can't get out, get trapped. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, you know they you should have looked
Speaker 1: them up online first. I don't know what can I
Speaker 1: tell you? All Right, So that's my that's my dad.
Speaker 1: But to me, that's a scamboni. If you get trapped, trapped,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. That's that's a trap for me.
Speaker 1: The last one is I went to a Starbucks. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the second half of this some other time,
Speaker 1: but the first half is I went to a Starbucks.
Speaker 1: They closed at ten o'clock. I went at ninth fifty,
Speaker 1: and uh, the guy says to me, we're closing in
Speaker 1: a few minutes, so we don't have most of the drinks.
Speaker 1: I said, well you don't. You don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have. So because I'm just let you know, we're
Speaker 1: out of almost everything. We're closing up in ten minutes.
Speaker 1: So I said, well, but you're not closed, right, No,
Speaker 1: So then shouldn't you have all the drinks I gotta?
Speaker 1: So I'm like, look, if you have like a pre
Speaker 1: made berry drink or something that you're out of, I
Speaker 1: get that. But he's like, we're out of most drinks.
Speaker 1: So I said, well all I all I want is
Speaker 1: um I think I wanted, uh ice coffee's something simple.
Speaker 1: Here's all we have that? Like okay. So he's like
Speaker 1: his his apron is like half down, it's not around
Speaker 1: his neck. Uh. You see, like he's got his earphones in.
Speaker 1: He's listening to music. He's checked out at ten minutes
Speaker 1: to ten. So he uh, he tells me what the
Speaker 1: price is. He must have it memorized, and he says yeah.
Speaker 1: He goes, I go, I pick out my credit card.
Speaker 1: He goes, you don't have cash. I said, no credit card? Okay,
Speaker 1: So I pay with the credit card and I go
Speaker 1: to wait and the girl behind me, goes to order
Speaker 1: and he goes, he tells it the price, and he goes,
Speaker 1: do you have cash? Goes, oh, yeah, you have cash,
Speaker 1: takes the cash and doesn't open the register. Uh, he's pocketing,
Speaker 1: he's got. What he did was he had changed lined
Speaker 1: up on the counter so he could give her change,
Speaker 1: a couple of singles and some coinage, but never open
Speaker 1: the register, didn't ring it up. So he's doing the
Speaker 1: last fifteen minutes everywhere it's all just one big cash
Speaker 1: chip for me, as it's a one item thing. Is
Speaker 1: it safe to say, you know, because you used to
Speaker 1: work in retail like this or wherever corporate places that
Speaker 1: if if they shut down the registers, they shut down
Speaker 1: the system. As soon as that's done, anything any transaction
Speaker 1: that happens after that that's in cash only is going
Speaker 1: in the pockets of the employees. Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And that's what he was doing. And I was like
Speaker 1: all right. So then the third girl, the girl behind
Speaker 1: the girl, she comes in and she says who's working tonight?
Speaker 1: And the guy goes, oh, Brad. She was, oh, Brad's
Speaker 1: here right. I think it was Brad or Bradley something
Speaker 1: like that. So he goes yeah. So she goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I used to work here. He was, oh, working here?
Speaker 1: He was all, I only been working here a couple
Speaker 1: of months. She was, oh, yeah, I worked here until
Speaker 1: September and then I went off to college. He's oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of months. So first of all, he's only
Speaker 1: been there a couple of months already stealing. Okay, So
Speaker 1: the other the guy comes out that he she knows, Bradley, Brentley,
Speaker 1: something like that. He comes out, Hey, chess, what's going on? Hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on? I haven't seen you? What we're going? Hees,
Speaker 1: what are you having? She goes, oh, I'm having as
Speaker 1: soy skim lot or whatever the fun She was having
Speaker 1: some kind of lotteme. So he goes, uh, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going here. She goes. Um. He goes, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: closing up. I'm just cleaning up in the back. She goes, Oh,
Speaker 1: if you busy, you want, you want, I'll just come
Speaker 1: back to making myself. Yes, yeah, alright, sure, no problem.
Speaker 1: Did that'd be great. So the girl who was online
Speaker 1: who isn't sanitary, goes back behind the counter and start
Speaker 1: steaming her own milk. Her hair is down she's got
Speaker 1: and she's making her own drink, and I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the fun? Of course you are such a like a germophobe.
Speaker 1: I love it. It's something of a germophobe. It's just like,
Speaker 1: would you eat in a place where somebody off the
Speaker 1: street went in the back and started making your food?
Speaker 1: But they know what they're doing. They they're familiar with
Speaker 1: the setup. Mean, why doesn't you need the optics of
Speaker 1: the of the apron or the you need the optics
Speaker 1: of them being in a uniform and official. When when
Speaker 1: I'd like to pretend that she's washed her hands, that
Speaker 1: she's not sick, I don't know. So I just that's
Speaker 1: but the Scamponi is the money and the you know,
Speaker 1: when I worked in retail and restaurants, people did that.
Speaker 1: That was the thing. I'm just I'm looking out for
Speaker 1: your own get your own clock, the things. You know.
Speaker 1: I have scambody too. I'll save it for next week.
Speaker 1: I know we're running the short on time because Rody's
Speaker 1: up against the clock. What are you gonna do tonight?
Speaker 1: I'm going to a concert uh in the town uh
Speaker 1: in uh in the town where you know, in the
Speaker 1: in the in the county over, So it's like a
Speaker 1: half hour away, not too far. So, uh, I'm going
Speaker 1: to a concert tonight. So it's a small venue concert.
Speaker 1: I'm going to uh and I and I. The show
Speaker 1: starts at six thirty, so I gotta so you gotta
Speaker 1: leave very soon, which is really while just for the
Speaker 1: sake of conversation. It's six o'clock now, so I got
Speaker 1: like two or three more minutes. Okay, well, okay, let
Speaker 1: me point out a very cool thing that happened. And
Speaker 1: then all the slices who are always looking for a
Speaker 1: good bargain. Uh, this is a lesson in waiting it
Speaker 1: out and just getting in at the right time. UM.
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, there was a story in
Speaker 1: the news and we were on vacation where a delta
Speaker 1: flight from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Minneapolis was overbooked. And
Speaker 1: what do they do in that morning of the you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's sitting in front of them at the gate. What
Speaker 1: do they do? They get on the loudspeaker and then
Speaker 1: they if we have any volunteers, this flight is overbooked.
Speaker 1: I'd like to switch your flight. We could offer you
Speaker 1: a travel voucher of three hundred dollars right there to fifty.
Speaker 1: That's normal around that price point. All right, well they'll
Speaker 1: give you a free upgrade next time you fly, you
Speaker 1: can go first class. They they just choose you a
Speaker 1: little bit. For whatever reason. The flight was overbooked. They
Speaker 1: needed the seat, and the people on this particular flight
Speaker 1: wasn't having it. They all needed to go. They had
Speaker 1: a plane full of people that needed to be in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and couldn't take a later flight. Unlucky, then, didn't you?
Speaker 1: Did you know? They kept coming back and back and
Speaker 1: back on the loudspeaker, over and over again, and the
Speaker 1: price continued to ascend until and you guys could google this,
Speaker 1: it made it to ten thousand dollars. They paid a
Speaker 1: single person ten thousand dollars to take an alternate flight.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Maybe leaving later, maybe next swing
Speaker 1: into another airport, whatever it is. The point you're not
Speaker 1: you're not right because they need that seat so badly.
Speaker 1: So I then called my friend who is a flight
Speaker 1: attendant for Delta, and she told me, was she ready?
Speaker 1: When you she lives? I think she's in the Hawaii,
Speaker 1: this one. I haven't seen her freaking years, she tells.
Speaker 1: I said, dude, this is true. Is is true? And
Speaker 1: she said, scary. It is absolutely true. Delta and all
Speaker 1: these other airlines have much more money than three hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: and they go slowly incrementally because somebody, always, some slub,
Speaker 1: always takes debait at three, four or five dollars at
Speaker 1: the most. And in fact, I don't think I ever
Speaker 1: heard it get past five hundred dollars personally, I've never ten.
Speaker 1: What's your price point for me? What's the price where
Speaker 1: you go? I don't care what's going on in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm off the plane. I think ted thousand, I take
Speaker 1: ted thousand. I'm like, I'll fucking hi an uber and
Speaker 1: drive there for like thousand, off the plane for five thousand.
Speaker 1: Nah nah, I don't know. Well anyway, everyone held out.
Speaker 1: So the truth is that they have banks of money.
Speaker 1: All these airlines have banks of money money of course
Speaker 1: no in reserve, and are willing to pay that each
Speaker 1: time though this was well, the problem is most people
Speaker 1: most people will just take the three and say, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'll take it. But you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Who is the person or people that had to get
Speaker 1: on the flight, So like, was it a hart transplant.
Speaker 1: Why did they need to get on the plane that badly?
Speaker 1: Did they? Okay, so here's the thing. Did delta fu
Speaker 1: somebody over did delta? Like tell Lebron James, hey man,
Speaker 1: you're off the flight, and he's like, I gotta get
Speaker 1: on this plane because if it's just some other Jamaica
Speaker 1: and you, then they go, sorry, flight guy one. There
Speaker 1: had to be some lawsuit pending or some was that
Speaker 1: a handicap or something whatever we're dying was some reason
Speaker 1: whatever it was anyway, just so you know, and next
Speaker 1: time at the whole point, everyone should have this mentality
Speaker 1: and just sit there and go nope, nope, nope and
Speaker 1: run up the score and then yeah, but you gotta
Speaker 1: hope nobody else jumps in it, like if you're playing
Speaker 1: a game, you're like, I'll wait till five thousands. Right,
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's talk about the one thing before
