Speaker 1: Got my delivery ready to eat my pizza. Slice to
Speaker 1: the rescue, Brodie. Yeah, while Slice hooked me up last
Speaker 1: night too. I placed an order customized everything. Uh, and
Speaker 1: I got food for myself and my wife last night
Speaker 1: and I was the hero. Thank you Slice. Five dollars
Speaker 1: off your first order right now if you use keyword
Speaker 1: Brooklyn downloaded at Slice or go to Slice life dot com.
Speaker 1: Guess who just got that today? The Brooklyn is that
Speaker 1: it'd been away. They both have so much to see,
Speaker 1: you know. Their names are Scarycast Episode one. It's the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys podcast, back from about a two or three
Speaker 1: week vacation or maybe an hour or a day vacation,
Speaker 1: depending on when the last episode was that you experienced
Speaker 1: of this fine podcast. You know what I love about that?
Speaker 1: That parody we just played, never mind the fact that
Speaker 1: I wrote it, But it means two things. It means
Speaker 1: we just had some great time off, and it means
Speaker 1: we're back. We could to the podcast again. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: for all those people who are like, I need your
Speaker 1: episode come back, Uh, we're back. Yeah, here we are,
Speaker 1: you know, and we're no less refreshed than we were
Speaker 1: before vacation, where we promised ourselves. We were gonna get
Speaker 1: some rest and relaxation. But for some reason, my vacations
Speaker 1: are always on the go. And uh, you always seem
Speaker 1: to get into customer service fights on your vacations, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's quite a few, racking, I gotta got
Speaker 1: some issues. If I'm a betting man, I'm gonna bet
Speaker 1: that you had no less than three customers service squabbles
Speaker 1: during your breast than three would be safe. If you
Speaker 1: said no more than three, you'd be incorrect. So I had.
Speaker 1: So I had a couple of bumps in a row.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny. I was relaxed. You know, I
Speaker 1: was like a chilling and I was in a good mood.
Speaker 1: And you know, for instance, in one particular case, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to celebrate our fabulous nation. Right it it
Speaker 1: bit me in the ass. How so well, yeah, i'd
Speaker 1: start off now talking about the only just go right
Speaker 1: in what I want to hear? What's going on? All right? Yeah? Alright, okay,
Speaker 1: what happen to you? And America? America and freedom? Freedom? Yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing screams freedom. So how to be the four something
Speaker 1: around the fourth of July four the July right so
Speaker 1: early a Monday in early second week of June. Maybe
Speaker 1: I think we were still working. I were. I drove
Speaker 1: my daughter somewhere about forty minutes from the house at
Speaker 1: a friend's house, and there's a Walmart nearby. I don't
Speaker 1: live near Walmart. I'm I'm thirty five to forty minutes
Speaker 1: away from a Walmart. Yeah, but I like I like Walmart,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. So I and I I popped
Speaker 1: into Walmart to get some pool floats. My kid was
Speaker 1: having a pool party, so I got, you know, a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of cheap floats for the kids coming over, right,
Speaker 1: because first of all, I don't him on my floats,
Speaker 1: and second of all, I didn't have enough for like,
Speaker 1: you know, ten twelve kids. So I got some noodles,
Speaker 1: I got some like two dollar floats, some tubes for
Speaker 1: them to you know whatever. And while I was in
Speaker 1: the pool section, I was near the fireworks section. So
Speaker 1: I looked over and I'm like, oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: my wife normally gets a prepackaged box of assorted fireworks
Speaker 1: at Costco, but she hasn't mentioned it, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: they're not there. It was like thirty bucks for like
Speaker 1: a three and a half foot box when you had
Speaker 1: like a display window you could see what was in it,
Speaker 1: like giant um round things, some boxes. And it was
Speaker 1: thirty dollars. I don't remember what my wife paid for
Speaker 1: the big set we blew off for New Year's Eve. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know what, I'm already here. It's
Speaker 1: probably a good price dirty Bucks. So I got the
Speaker 1: thirty bucks and I'm like, I would have a show
Speaker 1: off for the kids. Would be great there. I already like,
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the boxes and the and they're very safe.
Speaker 1: You like the fuse and they're just like you know,
Speaker 1: like the lights go off and like sparklers and explosion
Speaker 1: m eighties no load on the ground and things that
Speaker 1: light up, but nothing that don't tweet me if your
Speaker 1: uncle's best friend lost an eyelash. Please, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: These are relatively safe. Okay, They're rather safe. So I
Speaker 1: buy him at thirty bucks and I go home with
Speaker 1: the pool floats and the and I'm all excited. And
Speaker 1: I get home and my wife says, you bought fireworks
Speaker 1: because they were at in the living room. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: so did I at Costco? What? Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: Costco today but fireworks. We didn't mention it. Well, I
Speaker 1: didn't think you're gonna pick up fireworks at Walmarts. Now
Speaker 1: you have double the fund, double the double, not double
Speaker 1: the fund, one and a half times the fund. Because
Speaker 1: for for fifty bucks, I think she got a massive
Speaker 1: box of fireworks, the bigger box. Now, I didn't remember
Speaker 1: the size of the box from January. You know, they
Speaker 1: look it looked like a big box. So her big
Speaker 1: box was bigger than my box. That makes your own jokes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I thought, wow, hers is a better deal for
Speaker 1: fifty whatever, forty five whatever she'd pay. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'll just go back to Walmart the next time. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not the fourth of July. We're on vacation coming
Speaker 1: up this week, and I'll go in one of my
Speaker 1: vacation days or if my kid has to go see
Speaker 1: your friend again. So, as fate would have it, that
Speaker 1: exactly a week later, on a Monday, on a Monday,
Speaker 1: I have to go out to that area with as
Speaker 1: a Walmart. So I drive the forty minutes, drop her off,
Speaker 1: and I go into the Walmart and there's a line.
Speaker 1: It's about a twenty minute line at the customer service desk.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I'm on vacation, what whatever. So I
Speaker 1: get on a line with my fireworks. I have the
Speaker 1: receipt because I'm a good customer, get the this is
Speaker 1: where you would meet, by the way, before you get
Speaker 1: what you eat, and I would be like, know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna celebrate in another night? I will have I
Speaker 1: will literally like blow off fireworks a couple of nights
Speaker 1: a week. You know, I don't. I don't, But okay,
Speaker 1: you were at the register, you're returning. Let me let
Speaker 1: me fill you in on a couple of things. So
Speaker 1: this was I want to say, like the twenty second
Speaker 1: of of of June. Maybe I'm gonna look, it's important
Speaker 1: I tell you the date. So let me let me
Speaker 1: go on my counter to the June. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: the twenty one of June. Now, you know, we get
Speaker 1: paid on the fifteenth and roughly right, so on the one,
Speaker 1: I brought them on the fourteenth, right right before we
Speaker 1: got paid on the and I wanted to return them
Speaker 1: on the twenty one, I believe, and why we was
Speaker 1: six days out of being paid. And I gotta be
Speaker 1: honest with you, we're out of money. So the thirty bucks.
Speaker 1: I kind of needed it, okay, right, like we we
Speaker 1: we were like on fumes in the checking account. So
Speaker 1: you figured, whatever the case, whatever we spent the money on.
Speaker 1: We had a lot of bills over the summer, come,
Speaker 1: you know whatever, getting ready for the summer, and so
Speaker 1: I needed the thirty bucks back. And I didn't need
Speaker 1: the fireworks because my wife bought a massive So when
Speaker 1: you get to the register with the receipt, yeah, the
Speaker 1: girl says, uh. So I was returning at one pool
Speaker 1: float that my daughter didn't like. It was like two
Speaker 1: nine seven and the fireworks. So she says, I get
Speaker 1: it's just you have your seat, yep. And she returns
Speaker 1: the pool float and says, yeah, we can't take back
Speaker 1: the fireworks. What she says, Yeah, we don't take back fireworks.
Speaker 1: You don't take back fireworks, not like you set them off.
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly you would know if a boxing fireworks, right,
Speaker 1: I said, at this point, we're eight twelve days away
Speaker 1: from the fourth of July, plenty of time to resell them, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't take him back. It's just our policy. So
Speaker 1: I said, where's the where's the policy. There's no policy
Speaker 1: here at the register. This policy is signs all over
Speaker 1: the wall. What you return policy is? It doesn't say
Speaker 1: you can't return fireworks. Oh no. So then then the
Speaker 1: manager walks over. Uh. She says she was the manager.
Speaker 1: My guests is she was the frontend supervisor, which is
Speaker 1: I'm the manager. What can I help you? I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just want to turn these fireworks out of your seat.
Speaker 1: I bought him a week ago. So she says, yeah,
Speaker 1: we have signs up, but they're not returnable. I said, well,
Speaker 1: here's something you should know about me. Um, if there's
Speaker 1: a sign that says I can't return something, I won't
Speaker 1: buy it because I don't like to be trapped into
Speaker 1: a sale. So there was no signs. Well they're up
Speaker 1: now at the when you bought the fireworks, right, So
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I'm gonna give me the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. I'm gonna walk to the back
Speaker 1: of the store and I'm gonna check out the fireworks
Speaker 1: display and I'll see if there's a sign. I'll know
Speaker 1: if that sign was up last time was here. He goes, okay, sir,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Sorry. Walk in the back and there's a
Speaker 1: giant wall like one whole aisle of fireworks at the
Speaker 1: ends you can take pictures of it. Then it's like
Speaker 1: a floor display and another floor. There were four displays
Speaker 1: of fireworks and end cap a whole wall. I took picton.
Speaker 1: There's no sign So I go back to the register,
Speaker 1: I said, And I'm being very nice. I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not causing the scene. Well I never, I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, listen, you know, I understand you think there
Speaker 1: were signs, but there's no signs. Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: there was signs up. Oh, so there were no signs
Speaker 1: when I was here. There's no signs now, But there
Speaker 1: were signs in between last Monday and this Monday that
Speaker 1: somehow showed there was. But then someone took all the
Speaker 1: signs down. I don't know. Aren't you the manager? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Don't you know your signage in your store? I don't know, sir,
Speaker 1: But that's our policy. How can you policy you don't
Speaker 1: advertise it. Show me where, Show me where it's the policy.
Speaker 1: It's our policy, sir. So I go on the website
Speaker 1: and it says I pulled fireworks on the website and
Speaker 1: it says it says you have ninety days to return
Speaker 1: the fireworks. I said, look, here's your policy. Ninety days. She's, well,
Speaker 1: I'll go talk to the store manager then if there's
Speaker 1: a problem, would be great. I don't understand why these
Speaker 1: local these are they work for a corporation, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: so they see the rules. Why don't they just acknowledge it.
Speaker 1: It's none of these people there today helping you are
Speaker 1: gonna lose money personally. It's not like Walmart is owned
Speaker 1: by an individual that it's my story. I'm gonna lose money.
Speaker 1: So clearly the big boss of the store, the g M,
Speaker 1: must have said, here's the policy. My guess is, if
Speaker 1: I had to guess, is they don't want him back
Speaker 1: because then they get stuck with them in the fifth
Speaker 1: of July and they have they have infant. But that
Speaker 1: was and that was my next point is that okay, July,
Speaker 1: it's what what's what's the date? July? Twelve days? But
Speaker 1: they had scared they had like a thousand packages of fireworks. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so she she knocks on the door. I could see
Speaker 1: the door, it's like ten feet to my left. She
Speaker 1: knocks on the door. She whispers to the manager who
Speaker 1: I can see in the chair, and he goes and
Speaker 1: he waves like yeah, going from me, and she comes back, says,
Speaker 1: I spoke to him. He says, that's our policy. They said,
Speaker 1: he spoke to you. He said, go away. I saw him. She's, well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we can't take it back. I said, So
Speaker 1: now I have to go on social media and I
Speaker 1: have to tweet, and I have to call your corporate office,
Speaker 1: because you know this is your this isn't when you return. Okay,
Speaker 1: she's I'm sorry, sir. So I got in the parking lot.
Speaker 1: I called Walmart and I guy who says, oh, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's not a policy. I'll call the store and
Speaker 1: and and and give them permission to take your stuff back.
Speaker 1: I said, all right, Well, can you do that while
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone, because if I hang up with you,
Speaker 1: I have no idea if you called or not. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no problem. Let me put you on hold. I'll call
Speaker 1: the store. Comes back and he says, I can't get
Speaker 1: the manager on the phone. What they're not answering the phone. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: but what do I do? Well, you know you could
Speaker 1: try go into a different Walmart. I'm me, or another Walmart.
Speaker 1: I'm forty minutes of this Walmart. No, there's nothing I
Speaker 1: can do, but that's not a policy. They should take
Speaker 1: it back. Oh my god, right, he says, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me transfer you to my supervisor. Let's see,
Speaker 1: because I said, listen, can you get me a store
Speaker 1: credit or something? And I'll just keep the fireworks or
Speaker 1: I'll leave him at the door, like just get credit
Speaker 1: my credit card or send me a gift card and
Speaker 1: I'll walk back in and hand them the fireworks like
Speaker 1: I don't need them. I'm not gonna, you know, say
Speaker 1: oh yeah, hold on, let me transfer to my supervisor.
Speaker 1: So I hear ring, ring, ring, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the phone line goes dead. So I called back and again.
Speaker 1: It takes like like ten minutes to get through the
Speaker 1: voicemail system and on hold, and you know, your call
Speaker 1: is important to us, whatever it's. I called back. I
Speaker 1: get a woman from you know where in the world,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and she says, oh no, that's not
Speaker 1: our policy. Yeah no, I know that, yep, she's so
Speaker 1: I'll call the store for you. Okay, great. Calls the
Speaker 1: store and they don't answer the phone. Just I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: they're not answering the phone. Okay, So I give I
Speaker 1: give it a store number, the phone number like whatever.
Speaker 1: It's on the receine. It's like store number whatever, like
Speaker 1: to seven, fot whatever the number is. They all have
Speaker 1: store numbers, right, So she said, you know, let me
Speaker 1: transfer her. So she gives me the supervisor, and the
Speaker 1: supervisor says, well, it's not our policy, but it is.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? She says, it's Walmart's policy to
Speaker 1: allow the local store manager to make their own policy.
Speaker 1: I said, that's you run a company where everything has
Speaker 1: to be the same caller, the same prices, right, the
Speaker 1: same you wear the same aprons. You're not a free
Speaker 1: an chise. So you're letting some twenty one year old
Speaker 1: manager decide I don't feel like taking fireworks back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you for real? That's your policy? Yeah? The real
Speaker 1: fireworks are going off right now. I can hear them
Speaker 1: camping your corporate policy. We've all worked for corporations. I've
Speaker 1: worked for Starbucks, I've worked for Express, the gappled. Maybe
Speaker 1: like you don't get to make your own policy. I
Speaker 1: thought you were calm on vacation. You just opened up
Speaker 1: by saying you had a great vacation and you were
Speaker 1: calm and relaxed. This does not sound like a calm
Speaker 1: and relaxing moment. Well it got worse. I haven't talked
Speaker 1: about I talked, we we touched on it on the
Speaker 1: podcast briefly, but I'm gonna go ahead and talk about
Speaker 1: the follow up to this. So, so I tweet at
Speaker 1: Walmart and I say, hey, man, your customer service stinks
Speaker 1: uh and and your your return policy stinks. So right,
Speaker 1: so they so they immediately write me back on social media,
Speaker 1: We're terribly sorry. Let us know the problem. We're gonna
Speaker 1: help you very accommodating. The end of the story is
Speaker 1: they didn't help me. I stubbed the fireworks. Think you
Speaker 1: could shove the bottle of rockets up your ass. But
Speaker 1: what they said was that because it's a policy, is
Speaker 1: to let the manager, you know, decide I can go
Speaker 1: to a different Well that's what I was about to say.
Speaker 1: Just keep him in your trunk and then when you
Speaker 1: go from you know, when you're near a Walmart problem
Speaker 1: jumping in when I'm in another Walmart where I don't
Speaker 1: live near Walmarts. But he's the problem. Now it's after
Speaker 1: the fourth of July. Who's taken back my fireworks? Unless
Speaker 1: I wait till right before five fourth of July next year,
Speaker 1: my year old receipt. They're not gonna take them back now,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna want fireworks in the middle of July,
Speaker 1: saving for next fourth of July. You're gonna be in
Speaker 1: the same situation, right, and then when don't. When they don't,
Speaker 1: they don't explode and they go because they're a year
Speaker 1: old broad. You can't have it all the way, broth ways,
Speaker 1: every way until Sunday. Every time. You're not gonna get
Speaker 1: the free dessert. Here's where the kicker is. He's where
Speaker 1: the kicker is. So about forty minutes after I tweeted Walmart,
Speaker 1: my phone rings, right, it's a guy with an with
Speaker 1: an accent. That's not important what kind of accent, but
Speaker 1: he's he's he's clearly someone with an accent from another
Speaker 1: part of the world. And he says, hey this, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna, for the sake of this phone call,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say his name is Mike. He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is Mike from Walmart Advanced Customer Service. We are
Speaker 1: we understand you have a problem on social media. Our
Speaker 1: social media team asked me to give you a call.
Speaker 1: We want we want to try to make this right now.
Speaker 1: I didn't give my phone number to the social media people, right. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm like, how's this guy? This? This? Something's
Speaker 1: not right, some's not right here. So I said, uh
Speaker 1: huh okay, Mike, um yeah, who are you again? He
Speaker 1: tells me, I said, do you need the store number? No,
Speaker 1: we have everything. And I'm like, they don't have everything

Speaker 1: gonna tell the story. So I tell the story, and
Speaker 1: I and I said, yeah, there, you know the return policy.
Speaker 1: I spoke to the supervisor. They're not willing to take
Speaker 1: the fireworks back. So the guy, the guy, This went
Speaker 1: on for I don't know about two minutes of me
Speaker 1: explaining because I'm hoping that something funny is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: We could play on the radio or on the podcast.
Speaker 1: So he says, hold on a second, let me let
Speaker 1: me close my door in my office so I can
Speaker 1: hear you better. I'm having a hard time hearing you.
Speaker 1: Now he wasn't a hard time hearing me, so right away,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, this is a friend of a friend
Speaker 1: who's at work who does a foreign accent, who they've
Speaker 1: asked to prank phone call me. Someone has sent me
Speaker 1: and they saw your tweets on Twitter complaining too knows me.
Speaker 1: Gave this guy my phone number and said, oh, prank
Speaker 1: called my friend Brody and uh it's someone He said, oh,
Speaker 1: you have an accent, or maybe it's someone He thought

Speaker 1: So I said, hey, man, hey, before we go any further,
Speaker 1: can you, um, can you tell me what my case
Speaker 1: number is because I want to make sure we're on
Speaker 1: the same page because they give you a case number

Speaker 1: I'll get the case number for you in a second,
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, just to do me a favorite,
Speaker 1: go over me one more time with the storm. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: already I'm feeling this is right, so I said, Next, So,
Speaker 1: I said, Mike, I said I before, Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: I really want you to give me the case number because, uh,
Speaker 1: if if you don't have my account pulled up, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that if you're gonna help me,
Speaker 1: that you have my my case dumb He says, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have your case number. It's not a problem. But
Speaker 1: I'm just taking notes. Tell me again, what happened with
Speaker 1: the store manager? I said, Mike, listen, I'm having I'm
Speaker 1: having a long day here. Uh, you're not good at this,
Speaker 1: I said, You're not good at prank phone calls, whoever
Speaker 1: you are, So let's just let's just end this. I
Speaker 1: don't know, we're not You're not good at this trying
Speaker 1: get busted doing phone taps? Right? You go? They go, oh,
Speaker 1: is this scariest, Brody? I recognize your voice to go,
Speaker 1: oh man, Okay, sorry, man, you know your wife put
Speaker 1: me or you try to go outn't what you're talking about?
Speaker 1: You try to keep going, but you know, so he
Speaker 1: and so, Instead of being funny, the guy starts cursing me,
Speaker 1: you motherfucker, you fucking piece of shit. Who the funk
Speaker 1: returns fireworks? I would have shove those fireworks. And your
Speaker 1: fucking he's getting like nasty with me. That's that's really
Speaker 1: convincing as a customer service A good phone prank phone calls,

Speaker 1: So he starts calling me back with from my phone number,
Speaker 1: like he's using spoof call right there. Why don't you
Speaker 1: just ignore it. I did. Here's the problem. He kept
Speaker 1: going to voicemail. Well, if you keep going a voicemail,
Speaker 1: he kept pushing buttons and so my voicemail thought I
Speaker 1: was trying to log in with the wrong log in,
Speaker 1: and he locked me out on my voicemail. Oh boy.
Speaker 1: So I started to think listeners don't have my number.
Speaker 1: My number is not listening anywhere. So it has to
Speaker 1: be someone I know, Right, was anyone who someone who
Speaker 1: follows me on Twitter? I don't know. So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: This is unsolved mystery of the podcast through I called
Speaker 1: Spruce because he knows a lot of voice over people. Spruce,
Speaker 1: He's like no, I'm like dude, He's like no. So
Speaker 1: everyone's like, did you ask Garrett? Because Garrett likes to
Speaker 1: prank people record them. So I was like, I haven't
Speaker 1: called Gary yet. So I called Gary's like, dude, I'm
Speaker 1: on vacation, I'm not thinking about you. And we did.
Speaker 1: We did talk about this on the fifteen minute morning
Speaker 1: showcast briefly, right, and so I called the usual suspects.
Speaker 1: Now here's the problem. I accused four people of attempting
Speaker 1: to prank phone call me. Okay, now just I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna get into details. I know who it was who
Speaker 1: made the call. You found out Well, I'll get to
Speaker 1: that in a minute. He's someone that actually does a
Speaker 1: prank phone called podcast. Okay. I reached out to him
Speaker 1: um and he's like, hey, man, i'll destroy the audio.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were in the business. And I
Speaker 1: didn't come out good anyway because I called him on it.
Speaker 1: He's like, don't worry, I'll get rid of if you want,
Speaker 1: you let me know. I'm like, it's it's just not funny,
Speaker 1: like it's just you know. So, I said, where'd you
Speaker 1: get my phone number from? That? This is all through
Speaker 1: social media. I'm not talking to the guy on the phone.
Speaker 1: He said, oh, I got it off of a website
Speaker 1: complaining of people who complained. I don't know you didn't
Speaker 1: because you called me right after my Walmart tweet. It
Speaker 1: was somebody saw my Walmart tweet and put you up
Speaker 1: to it. It's quite obvious. We just don't know who
Speaker 1: the person was who put him up to it. And
Speaker 1: he didn't fess up either. No, no, well, I'm working
Speaker 1: on that with him. So here's the deal. If anyone
Speaker 1: other than the four people I accused set me up.
Speaker 1: They would have they would have called me a text
Speaker 1: or got in touch with me and said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: that was me try to get you. So it is
Speaker 1: one of the four people, well, the four people I accused.
Speaker 1: I told him point blank, wasn't funny. You know, I
Speaker 1: was in a bad mood that that week. You know,
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the right frame of mind, Like it
Speaker 1: wasn't the right time, right, it wasn't. And all four
Speaker 1: people like, dude, we know, we know what you know,
Speaker 1: you have you having a bad week, and we would
Speaker 1: never that's we would never. We're all on vacation like never.
Speaker 1: But but here's the thing. Nobody has come forward to
Speaker 1: admit they put the guy up to it. And the
Speaker 1: only person that wouldn't come forward is someone that I
Speaker 1: already told I didn't find it funny, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? This is this is really getting in the
Speaker 1: weeds man, so to prank the master, and it didn't work.
Speaker 1: And also Remond didn't give me my money back, so
Speaker 1: it was all a loser day, double fucked, double fucked.
Speaker 1: So fuck you Mike, fuck you Walmart, and fuck you
Speaker 1: secret person who won't come forward who tried to prying
Speaker 1: funk call me. Eventually the truth will reveal itself, and
Speaker 1: any any slice listening right now, it's speculating that it's me.
Speaker 1: I can promise you it was not a murder mystery.
Speaker 1: Everybody looks guilty who done it? But I will tell
Speaker 1: you the reason. The reason why I didn't do it
Speaker 1: is because I was too busy having fun on live vacation.
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to return fireworks. I went. First of all,
Speaker 1: you know what a huge Met fan that we both
Speaker 1: are here on this podcast. I got to see the
Speaker 1: Mets on the road in Atlanta from great seats, beating Atlanta,
Speaker 1: coming back rallying. That was the one game. Let's not
Speaker 1: talk about the other game, but the one game or something,
Speaker 1: the game that I went to. It was awesome because
Speaker 1: I as a Met fan, as a visiting team on
Speaker 1: the road, it was so awesome to walk out of
Speaker 1: that stadium in peace and not have people going yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: but did you did you cheer loudly? Were you wearing
Speaker 1: a Met shirt? I did, Atlanta. I wasn't one. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get my ass, I don't want to
Speaker 1: get my ass beat. But you played, you played it. Down,
Speaker 1: So what did you do when they scored? Like, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. When they scored, we were in a section
Speaker 1: with a bunch of met fans with with shirts and
Speaker 1: everything going crazy with jumping, high fiving in the stands.
Speaker 1: But once you leave the game, once the loss is complete,
Speaker 1: where it is a loss for the brains, those fans
Speaker 1: turned sour. They aren't a ship mood. So you just
Speaker 1: walk out and keep your mouth shout shut and look
Speaker 1: at the ground. Anyway, But that was only just a
Speaker 1: piece of my vacation. See, Brodie, I was relaxing on
Speaker 1: a beach I went to and I have I think
Speaker 1: I've talked about this before this podcast. It's crazy how
Speaker 1: your history repeats itself. One of the one of the
Speaker 1: characteristics of my vacations and one of the just an
Speaker 1: accidental thing that happens. And Brodie, you'll remember this right
Speaker 1: away as soon as I bring it up. What happens
Speaker 1: to Scary Jones when he checks into a hotel in
Speaker 1: the summertime in late June while we're on vacation. I
Speaker 1: always tend to visit a city where they're celebrating Pride Week.
Speaker 1: So when I went to St. Petersburg, wasn't it you
Speaker 1: and Ronnie both together, two guys. Yes, it was the
Speaker 1: bald freak Rannie and me and you know, you know,
Speaker 1: and we will. We check into a hotel in St.
Speaker 1: Petersburg and then we went through right, we went into
Speaker 1: the site. Wait, yes, and we went to we went
Speaker 1: to the we were in town, went to downtown St.
Speaker 1: Pete and there there it was in full bloom pride.
Speaker 1: Pride parades, every bar, every place we went, no matter what,
Speaker 1: it was all full of pride. Now, no offense to that,
Speaker 1: but it's just funny, how you know. My friends, so
Speaker 1: my buddies who lived down there locally, were like, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta come to this place after dinner.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to this club. It's awesome, my friends
Speaker 1: spinning and it's just gonna be just a wonderful time. Well,
Speaker 1: sure enough, they were playing like all eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: gay eight um icons and it was really crowded and
Speaker 1: it was mostly gay, and my friends all got hit on.
Speaker 1: I did not get hit on, but it was it
Speaker 1: was it was just it's just hilarious. My friends. Did
Speaker 1: ball Fred Granting get hit on? Yes, he did, so everyone,
Speaker 1: but you got hit on, Yeah, you're straight, but you
Speaker 1: feel left out. I kind of feel yeah, I kind
Speaker 1: of feel a little left out from that. But but
Speaker 1: but my my larger point is it's just it's great
Speaker 1: that I'm always in town for Pride. You know. It's
Speaker 1: because we go on vacation, go on vacation that last
Speaker 1: week of June, right, so as we get June first
Speaker 1: get so of course you're gonna be on vacation during Pride.
Speaker 1: That's that's now, now, Brodie. We did have breakfast this
Speaker 1: morning one morning at a really great place that was recommended.
Speaker 1: We were sitting out. It was near the beach. Whatever. Now,
Speaker 1: I said, I ordered my breakfast and I said can
Speaker 1: I have a side of avocado? And they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't have that. And I'm like, where is this?
Speaker 1: This is? This is in St. Petersburg, Hold. So one
Speaker 1: of the menu items that you could order it was
Speaker 1: guacamole a chip. So I'm like, wait a second. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it says here you have guak and chips it so
Speaker 1: obviously you guys make it in house, right And the
Speaker 1: waitress was like, yeah, we do. So I said, all right,
Speaker 1: so you guys have some guawk on deck that you're
Speaker 1: about to make that you didn't make yet, and she says, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah. I said, well that means you guys
Speaker 1: have avocados, and she goes, yeah, but but it's not
Speaker 1: on the menu. I'm like, oh, so you don't have
Speaker 1: that gets to make the avocado policy apparently, so apparently yeah.
Speaker 1: So so it was just very very interesting. Then I
Speaker 1: was ordering, I was like, all right, so then give
Speaker 1: me a side of guawk, I guess, and I'll just
Speaker 1: pretend it's not mashed. That he's ask him for a
Speaker 1: side of guawk, but tell him not to mix it
Speaker 1: with other stuff. Give me a side of guawk, no tomato,
Speaker 1: no lemon juice, no onion, and don't slice it right
Speaker 1: or don't mash it. Just it's just I mean, if
Speaker 1: you have you ever seen the movie with Jack Nicholson,
Speaker 1: I think it's a twelve six easy piece. Twelve easy pieces.
Speaker 1: It's something. It's a certain amount of easy pieces. And
Speaker 1: he wants he wants um. I think he wants uh something,
Speaker 1: he wants something plain. I think he wants a scoop
Speaker 1: a chicken salad, and then like we only have chicken
Speaker 1: salad sandwiches so I know I'm getting this wrong, but
Speaker 1: the gist of it is he does something to effective
Speaker 1: or give me a chicken salad, sandwich. Um, hold the bread,
Speaker 1: hold the lettuce, hold he just hold everything and bring
Speaker 1: me something. Just bring me the chicken salad or something
Speaker 1: like that. She's well, what do you know, She's like,
Speaker 1: it's a very funny scene. And uh. He basically just
Speaker 1: orders the thing he wants and then he says, I'll
Speaker 1: pay for it. Just hold the stuff I don't want
Speaker 1: because they won't give it to him. They won't give
Speaker 1: m what he wants. It's that kind of thing, you know,
Speaker 1: without that other stuff. I just it doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense to me because it's it's logical. But no question
Speaker 1: I would ask. But I know I did it. I
Speaker 1: confronted her though on it. I said like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we we don't have we don't have sliced avocado. Sorry,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, but you have hold ones in the fridge.
Speaker 1: Just said you don't what. I'll tell you what give me.
Speaker 1: Just hand me a fucking guawk. I'm sorry, hand me
Speaker 1: it avocado out of the box and give me a
Speaker 1: knife and I'll fucking peel it myself. I don't change.
Speaker 1: These people are very shortsighted. I don't you know. Um so,
Speaker 1: so there was that, but you know, you know, Brady
Speaker 1: might have a question about your trip because you don't
Speaker 1: mind me interrupting, No, I don't. So you told a
Speaker 1: story and I have to confess something which I didn't
Speaker 1: tell you because I didn't want to tell you at
Speaker 1: the time. But Monday, first day back. So what's today Wednesday? Monday?
Speaker 1: You told a story on the air, right. I had
Speaker 1: gone upstairs to the kitchen and talk to my wife
Speaker 1: for a minute, and apparently you started telling a story
Speaker 1: and I took my I took my my, uh my
Speaker 1: earpiece out where I'm on out of the show to
Speaker 1: talk to my wife for a minute. You know, there
Speaker 1: was no conversation going on. When I walked upstairs from
Speaker 1: from the den where I where I do the show,
Speaker 1: and I come back, I popped the thing back in
Speaker 1: my ear and I sit down by my laptop and
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the show and I'm hearing, Oh, scary,
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. He totally took advantage of the hotel.
Speaker 1: Oh scary, that's terrible, that's wrong. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: And it was a big debate, people calling and going scary,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at text messages, great move scary, it's
Speaker 1: such a brody thing to do. And then people like
Speaker 1: your dick scary. But I was like, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to tell you. I didn't hear it, so I could
Speaker 1: have listened to the Elvis Trant on demand channel, but
Speaker 1: I thought I would just ask you what you did,
Speaker 1: because I don't know what you did that people were debating,
Speaker 1: So I'd love to give my opinion live on you know,
Speaker 1: on this podcast. This is what happened. Okay, and it's
Speaker 1: a very short story, but here's here's how it went.
Speaker 1: Am I gonna like it? You're gonna, you're gonna You're
Speaker 1: gonna give me a standing ovation? But this is really
Speaker 1: more about it. This is a tip for all the slices.
Speaker 1: This is you guys have to do this when you're
Speaker 1: visiting somewhere, or even if you're not and you're hometown.
Speaker 1: Let's say you wanted to go to a fancy restaurant
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people they're like, ah,
Speaker 1: funk that I go to Chili's and you know, Applebee's whatever,
Speaker 1: or but but you want to go to an occasion place,
Speaker 1: a place that has a restaurant that may be hard
Speaker 1: to get into. Okay, here's what you do. Okay, Google,
Speaker 1: Well what did you do? Well, here's what I do.
Speaker 1: Here's what I did, all right, So I I showed up.
Speaker 1: It was the Atlanta. The day that we had the
Speaker 1: Mets got routed by the Braves. But the day after
Speaker 1: we wanted to go to a great dinner and uh
Speaker 1: that night. And so we heard about this restaurant by
Speaker 1: a bunch of people that were in the pool that
Speaker 1: you know, we were, you know, in the pool at
Speaker 1: Yes Brody. I found a couple of pools while along
Speaker 1: the way, I know people were concerned that I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna get my pool time in. I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you about your pool in a little bit, like we'll
Speaker 1: get to that. Um yeah, check my instagram at David
Speaker 1: Brody you'll know what I did in my pool. But
Speaker 1: I'm gone. So so I said, look, I want to
Speaker 1: go to the steakhouse called the Steakhouse. And of course, sorry,
Speaker 1: we don't have any reservations available. In fact, you have
Speaker 1: to book this about a week in advance, maybe even more.
Speaker 1: And it was a Tuesday, Wednesday night, like, the hell,
Speaker 1: how do you guys have And in my mind, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know they're holding they're holding spots for V I
Speaker 1: P s. They always do. We talked about that. Don't
Speaker 1: they know you're a social influence and we learned that
Speaker 1: we learned in a few episodes ago, right, So I said,
Speaker 1: I said, I said, I hung up. I'm like, great,
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone. First of all, it's like Atlanta
Speaker 1: is my kryptonite. No one knows who Scary Jones is.
Speaker 1: In Atlanta. We're not on the air, and we were
Speaker 1: only on the air there for like four months. And
Speaker 1: if I usually don't have that the next best thing,
Speaker 1: that's right. We got kicked off the air there, although
Speaker 1: although the bastards who replaced us kept playing our phone taps.
Speaker 1: They did. Yes, our phone taps were on Atlanta radio
Speaker 1: for like a year, even though our show wasn't even
Speaker 1: though our show wasn't. Uh and then and then not bastards,
Speaker 1: by the way happen. I remember who they are, but
Speaker 1: just the nerve nerve. So so they said to me,
Speaker 1: so uh and doin the way, so I don't have
Speaker 1: I don't have any Scary Jones influences I can't say
Speaker 1: why you can't drop I can't can't drop Elvis name,
Speaker 1: and I certainly don't have any I don't have any
Speaker 1: radio friends there, because something that's the next best thing
Speaker 1: is you get a radio friend who is familiar with
Speaker 1: the city and then maybe they can make the call
Speaker 1: and be you know, no none, no such luck. So
Speaker 1: I thought a light bulb just went on in my head, like,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I got your light bulb. Your light
Speaker 1: bulbs make that noise when you turn them on. You
Speaker 1: must have a loud house go on. Every high end
Speaker 1: restaurant or a difficult restaurant has attached to it a
Speaker 1: V I P list, right, and they also deal seats.
Speaker 1: They have the seats available, but they also have they
Speaker 1: also have affiliations with the high end hotels in the area.
Speaker 1: So what did I do, Brodie? I did some research
Speaker 1: on whatever the hotel was. It could be the rich
Speaker 1: Carlton Royal Palace for seasons or so you name it.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to name hotel fancy hotel five stars, okay.
Speaker 1: And I googled it, and I googled the general manager's name.
Speaker 1: Let's call her Larissa. I don't know, Okay, right, So
Speaker 1: I said, huh, so Larissa is the GM here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call the concierge because I know they got to
Speaker 1: connect with the with the restaurants. So I called the concierge.
Speaker 1: It could be concierge, concierge, whatever you wanted, concierge. I
Speaker 1: don't even know. So I was not staying at this hotel,
Speaker 1: but I was. This wasn't your hotel, I know. No.
Speaker 1: I picked a random five star Google mapped it. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: this hotel is close to this five star hotel is
Speaker 1: close to the steakhouse. They got people they gotta send, right,
Speaker 1: So I called up the concierge at this five star
Speaker 1: hotel and said, hi, um, is Larissa there? You know,
Speaker 1: just already to ingratiate myself, like and by the way,
Speaker 1: it was after six o'clock, so I know where's the
Speaker 1: general manager. Oh no, she's gone for the day. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: I just missed her. Hey listen, um, I'm actually yeah,
Speaker 1: she told me to Uh, I could give you guys
Speaker 1: a call. I'm actually checking in tomorrow, so that would
Speaker 1: explain why my name is not on room number. They're
Speaker 1: not going to ask me from my room number. You're
Speaker 1: not there yet. Yeah, I'm not there yet, I said,
Speaker 1: but I got in town a day early and I'm
Speaker 1: entertaining some clients. So if you could, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get into this this high steakhouse, bougie steakhouse, and maybe
Speaker 1: you can help me out with the steak dinner. I
Speaker 1: don't cat by the way, go on yeah, And they're like, oh, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we could do what's your what's your phone number?
Speaker 1: And I said, okay, here's my number. They're like okay, uh,
Speaker 1: and what would you like to name under? And they're
Speaker 1: taking all the information down and they're they're like okay, no,
Speaker 1: no guarantees. But now they didn't look up your reservation number. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: because the fact that I mentioned Larissa automatically confirmed me
Speaker 1: that I had business roller regular custom I had business
Speaker 1: at this hotel, and so they were gonna do me
Speaker 1: the favorite. They were gonna do the solid as we
Speaker 1: say in Brooklyn, right solid right. So they're like all right,
Speaker 1: I said, they'll I said, would you guys be able
Speaker 1: to call over there? Do you know people? And they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we deal with them all the time. Of course you do.
Speaker 1: Course they do so I I hang up the phone.
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to stand up here, because twenty minutes
Speaker 1: later they call me back and they're like Mr. Skeary,
Speaker 1: like yes, like all right, you're all set for your
Speaker 1: reservation tonight. Made the reservation for you eight o'clock. Yes,
Speaker 1: they made the call and drop a name. They did.
Speaker 1: They made the call. They called on my behalf and
Speaker 1: say it's the Saint Regency rich Calton, fourth Seasons whatever
Speaker 1: your hotel. I'm not gonna tell you which one. It
Speaker 1: was Holiday and Express, yeah, exactly, And that's where I was.
Speaker 1: I was at the Holiday and Express when I was
Speaker 1: making the phone call and they and they said, yeah,
Speaker 1: your reservation is taken care of us. They just show
Speaker 1: up at eight o'clock. You know, bam, steak, dinner, what
Speaker 1: the fudge? And by the way, everybody, it was phenomenal.
Speaker 1: It was so good, you know, the steak was worth it,
Speaker 1: the atmosphere all that. Brody you should have been there, Brody,
Speaker 1: you should have been there. But to the slices, just know,
Speaker 1: where there's a will, there's a way. You've got to
Speaker 1: think and put yourself in the situation. Because first of all,
Speaker 1: we know these places have seats available that they're not
Speaker 1: telling you about. There was nothing on open Table, there
Speaker 1: was nowhere on the website. You couldn't It was just
Speaker 1: one of those things like you can't come in. Well
Speaker 1: guess concerts they always the arena keeps a couple. It's
Speaker 1: a brilliant idea I thought I had and people were
Speaker 1: That's why Brodie, they were applauding me. So hopefully you
Speaker 1: feel the same way. Well, I'm sorry I missed a
Speaker 1: set up on the air when you told the story,
Speaker 1: but that's impressive. I feel like you learned a lot
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast. Well, I mean it just it
Speaker 1: just dawned upon me that they had to have connections.
Speaker 1: That is a that is a Brooklyn Boys move. If
Speaker 1: nothing else in this podcast, people, I'm glad you'll I'm
Speaker 1: hoping you learned something today. Every day is a lesson
Speaker 1: in every episode is a learning experience, like like the
Speaker 1: learning experience that you guys should all have had by
Speaker 1: now that when you want great pizza from a local place,
Speaker 1: you go to our friends at Slice because Slice is
Speaker 1: connected two thousands and thousands of local network pizzerias around
Speaker 1: the country and they don't charge them. The crazy fees
Speaker 1: that the big apps do. So Slice, we love you
Speaker 1: for that that you're actually helping out the local small business.
Speaker 1: And Brody, I know that you've had some great experience
Speaker 1: with discovering pizzerias in your neighborhood and your your your
Speaker 1: city that you know you didn't even know about the exist. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what. I saw a pizza fight breakout on
Speaker 1: a Facebook page from a town that I'm in the
Speaker 1: Facebook group, from a town nearby that has a lot
Speaker 1: of good pizza places. So they said, uh, yeah, well
Speaker 1: I think this pizza place is uh the best. It's
Speaker 1: in this other town, and so I had never heard
Speaker 1: of it. So last night I said to my I said,
Speaker 1: my wife, I go, you know what, I want to
Speaker 1: try some new pizza. Yeah, let's try some new, new,
Speaker 1: new new Italian food. So we order from this place
Speaker 1: in our area and I'm like, I use the Slice app.

Speaker 1: I had. I would tell you what the pizza was called,
Speaker 1: because I want to get it's not. It was the
Speaker 1: Sorrento pizza, No, the Sarantina pizza, which I I ordered
Speaker 1: it with no basil, and then I added riccotte the
Speaker 1: cheese on top or rocotta for those of you. For
Speaker 1: wife ordered a spicy shrimp appetizer. It's not just pizza,
Speaker 1: by the way, whatever you want, and and she ordered

Speaker 1: Talking about and scary? Can I before we talk about
Speaker 1: your your situation with the airline? Um? Can I just
Speaker 1: can I tell you what really pissed me off while

Speaker 1: of the podcast. Our company, it's some of our company
Speaker 1: didn't do what someone in our company did, so so
Speaker 1: let me We we had this competition where the big
Speaker 1: bosses sent out an email to everyone and said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're having an innovation competition now if you work for
Speaker 1: corporate company, a big a big corporation. Rather sometimes they
Speaker 1: have these motivational competitions or uh brainstorming thing. Right. They said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to award money and prizes if you've got
Speaker 1: a great idea. Oh right, So this this was I
Speaker 1: don't know, beginning of June, and they said you have
Speaker 1: until this date right there. It didn't say like hurry
Speaker 1: and what your what your submissions? It said you have
Speaker 1: two weeks or whatever it was getting your submissions by
Speaker 1: whatever date it was. And our team of experts are
Speaker 1: panel will go through all the submissions and will pick
Speaker 1: the best ones. Sure, I sent in like six, okay, um,
Speaker 1: three of them. When they released the list of the
Speaker 1: top I don't know seven or eight innovation innovations ideas.
Speaker 1: Three of them were ideas I submitted of the eight,
Speaker 1: but when it attached the name to who suggested it,
Speaker 1: not my name's not my name anywhere near there. Now
Speaker 1: two of them I would say could have been coincidence,
Speaker 1: although one of the guys knows I had that idea,
Speaker 1: so I was a little bit like, like he stole
Speaker 1: your idea, wrote it down and got the credit. But
Speaker 1: I want to address a guy that I'm going to
Speaker 1: refer to as as Pete. Okay, about ten years Sneaky Pete.
Speaker 1: About ten years ago, in a meeting with a big
Speaker 1: marketing muck, I had an idea for our company. It
Speaker 1: had to do with creating a database of radio people talent.
Speaker 1: And this way, if somebody in California wanted to hire somebody,
Speaker 1: they would look in the database for my talent from California,
Speaker 1: right right, who might have enough talent to be in
Speaker 1: that size city and in their profile they might work
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. But their goal is to get back to California. Anyway,
Speaker 1: there was a lot more to it, right, and the
Speaker 1: idea I was told it was a great idea, but
Speaker 1: it was it wasn't gonna get pulled off. Then about
Speaker 1: seven years ago I brought it up again with did
Speaker 1: you when you originally created it was Pete who created
Speaker 1: it with you, but you didn't tell Pete didn't told
Speaker 1: a lot a couple of big muckety MUCKs. Now we work.
Speaker 1: We work in New York, so all the muckety MUCKs
Speaker 1: are always in the building. So at a meeting I
Speaker 1: brought it up, this idea, and now it was a
Speaker 1: lot more to it. It was a big global thing.
Speaker 1: It was about promoting our own talent and training our
Speaker 1: own people. This way, if we rather than hiring outside
Speaker 1: the company, it would be like a database of audio
Speaker 1: and air checks and like whatever. It's all. I don't
Speaker 1: want to get into all the details, but it was
Speaker 1: a great Everyone's like, I's a brilliant idea. My god
Speaker 1: never got done. So then I want to say five
Speaker 1: years ago I was in a meeting with with UH,
Speaker 1: with one of the muckety MUCKs who many times had
Speaker 1: heard my idea, and he said Oh, I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know I pitched your idea to some
Speaker 1: of the biggest muckety MUCKs and uh, about a month
Speaker 1: and a half ago we started it. What, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: started it. When we started it, it was my d
Speaker 1: You didn't even tell me about it. Oh yeah, Well
Speaker 1: they liked it, so they I said, well, what do
Speaker 1: you mean they started it? Yeah, they they got it.
Speaker 1: They're starting a database, a website. Yeah. I said, well,
Speaker 1: who's in charge? Pete Pete was a was a at
Speaker 1: that point. Pete was a regional type guy, not my guy,
Speaker 1: but I knew who he was in the company, Like,
Speaker 1: what does Pete have to do with this? Like, oh,
Speaker 1: Pete and Pete and Pete and Steve. But I said, Bob,
Speaker 1: Bob's head of our company, wasn't him. They like Pete
Speaker 1: and Steve. They're gonna be in charge of the database
Speaker 1: and it's my idea. Yeah, but these guys are in
Speaker 1: positions of authority. They wanted Pete and Steve to oversee
Speaker 1: this thing, and they're launching it for your idea. I
Speaker 1: was pitching it for like six seven years at that point. Whatever.
Speaker 1: I've told it to everybody, it's my idea, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not and this is a big corporate speak,
Speaker 1: you know what. It's not important where the ideas come from.
Speaker 1: It's important that the company benefits from the idea, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good for the company, and that benefits everybody.
Speaker 1: I go, but yeah, when I want to raise I'm
Speaker 1: gonna like we we what. No, Pete and Steve. Pete
Speaker 1: and Steve, they're the ones that get the stripes, they
Speaker 1: get the credit, they get the glory. Yeah, so this one.
Speaker 1: So they said, we'd like you get the glory hole.
Speaker 1: We'd like you to We'd like you to continue what
Speaker 1: you do, find talent in the company and submit them
Speaker 1: to the database so you can help. I I can help. Oh,
Speaker 1: oh you can help. But your idea. But Pete Steve
Speaker 1: are overseeing it right now. Now. Al, now you know Al,
Speaker 1: I's worked for our show. Al was the guy that
Speaker 1: I would tell Al, you gotta help me out here.
Speaker 1: Let's get this idea going. Because Al is on the
Speaker 1: talent end and Al is the one who told me
Speaker 1: that Pete and Steve were now doing this. So he's like,
Speaker 1: I put in a good word. You can help Pete
Speaker 1: and Steve. I go, I don't want out beating Steve.
Speaker 1: It's my idea. Okay. So Steve leaves, Steve leaves the company,
Speaker 1: and now Pete's running the company, running the This my idea.
Speaker 1: So I email Pete, Pete, I I know you spoke
Speaker 1: to Al. I know you know. This whole concept was
Speaker 1: my idea. Now that Steve has left the company, can
Speaker 1: I be the other guy, the co pilot in this
Speaker 1: heading up on the project that, by the way, that
Speaker 1: I created my idea. So so Pete says, nah, I'm good.
Speaker 1: Of course he is, because Pete wants all the credit
Speaker 1: and the money. So Pete wants all the credit he
Speaker 1: wants to raise. So this lasts about eight months and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Pete seems to lose interest and uh,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the database things not continuing. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: that was I want to say, four or five years ago.
Speaker 1: All right, now, first far past forward to this innovation competition,
Speaker 1: which was just this past month, and it basically says
Speaker 1: Brody's idea in so many words, for a talent database
Speaker 1: and a farm system of talent, and it says congratulations
Speaker 1: to Pete on a fantastic idea. Wait what but it
Speaker 1: has your name that you've been acknowledged, though I'm saying it.
Speaker 1: He The description is create a talent database and promote
Speaker 1: from within. Create a fart like it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's my idea, and it says congratulations to Pete. So
Speaker 1: I go back to Al. I go, oh, what the funk?
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, I saw it, man, I'd be piste too.
Speaker 1: That was your idea. I go, ol, baby, you gotta
Speaker 1: tell somebody come out walking me out. You know, I
Speaker 1: told you years ago, and I was like, Brody, you
Speaker 1: know the people that need to know. No, it was
Speaker 1: your idea, but yeah, but you're not getting the free
Speaker 1: ship for it prizes STI I go, Pete Scott, like
Speaker 1: a top eight idea here, that's my idea. I email
Speaker 1: the people. I am all the people, right, I email
Speaker 1: the people running the contest. I go, heydating, please, you're
Speaker 1: screaming as I go, hey hey, board and Board of
Speaker 1: decision makers. At least three of those ideas were mine.
Speaker 1: I submitted them all, but two of them are blatantly
Speaker 1: ripping me off. They wrote back, well we had we
Speaker 1: can't verify that, so we had to go by the order.
Speaker 1: It was submitted, and he submitted first. I said, where
Speaker 1: in the rules does it say you have to rush
Speaker 1: the idea? And you said, we had two weeks. I go,
Speaker 1: it's my idea. I have an email trail. I can
Speaker 1: prove it. Yeah, he could have had the ideas. So
Speaker 1: fuck you board of decision makers at my company because
Speaker 1: you gave so Pete got the glory and the other
Speaker 1: guy got the glory. I'm not even get into that guy.
Speaker 1: But Pete's the big offender because Pete ran the thing
Speaker 1: knowing it was my idea. This is so typical that
Speaker 1: David Brodie gets fucked in the ass. You always do
Speaker 1: most of my music because I need to get my music.
Speaker 1: That's how screwed I am, because we've already climaxed the music. Now. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I should get something. And you know
Speaker 1: what they word like. I was like, you're right right.
Speaker 1: I was like, Pete shouldn't have done that. I go
Speaker 1: out your middle management. Can you go to somebody? I can't.
Speaker 1: That's that's high up to go. You know how it goes.
Speaker 1: It goes? Yeah, man, alright, people in my in this
Speaker 1: company that when I told him the idea ten years ago,
Speaker 1: they were like regular level management. They are presidents of
Speaker 1: the company now, and they didn't give me credit. And
Speaker 1: you know, and you can people can relate that are
Speaker 1: listening to this. Everybody works in you, but you're a queen.
Speaker 1: You always a great idea. The manager takes crow for it.
Speaker 1: Here's the best part though, and this is this is
Speaker 1: very important advice, okay, because we've seen in the company
Speaker 1: do this. Whenever they manage. You're supposed to manage up. Managed,
Speaker 1: manage up to the people that you want to suck
Speaker 1: up to and too, because then they will recognize you
Speaker 1: and then you will be brought up with them into
Speaker 1: the next level, don't you know. I know as a manager,
Speaker 1: here's I went up to the sevens and eights, and
Speaker 1: the sevens and eights went to the nine tenths. I
Speaker 1: couldn't get to the nins. But in your everyday roll, Brody,
Speaker 1: what do you do? You manage down because you managed
Speaker 1: the intern program. Those people aren't going to help you
Speaker 1: get a promotion later in life. Here I went, I went,
Speaker 1: I went to I went to a guy who was
Speaker 1: a seven in the company and a guy who was
Speaker 1: at eight in the company. By the way, the eight
Speaker 1: is now and nine. The seven is now a nine
Speaker 1: and a half. No, no, I'm saying that's you al
Speaker 1: got promoted three times. And the other guy that used
Speaker 1: to work in our building, you know who he is,
Speaker 1: he's now one of the he's he's nine point eight
Speaker 1: in the company. He's a mega shot, right right. Yes,
Speaker 1: he didn't say Wait a minute, that's I know that idea.
Speaker 1: That was Brodie's idea. Well, that's what makes this all hilarious. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's why this is But on the inside, this is
Speaker 1: why it's funny. But but in real can I call
Speaker 1: to get me? But in real life, Brodie, in real life,
Speaker 1: people are going you know, I'm just saying you should
Speaker 1: try and do what Brodie's trying to do is manage
Speaker 1: it up. But you know, you know, whatever, whatever the case.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of yelling on this podcast so far.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well you gotta stop. Yeah, it's all my fault. Um,
Speaker 1: something that I didn't tell anybody, which I'm about to
Speaker 1: tell you right now and slices and I don't know
Speaker 1: how to handle it or how to follow up with it.
Speaker 1: Is um. You know, I I I took a flight
Speaker 1: out on United and you know, They always tell you
Speaker 1: that it's not their fault when it's weather related. Okay,
Speaker 1: well keep that in mind. It's not their fault. Fair,
Speaker 1: that's fair. Fair, right, so and and and I agree
Speaker 1: with that statement. But in this particular case, there was
Speaker 1: a plane that I was supposed to get on to
Speaker 1: go to that was the last leg of my trip.
Speaker 1: Where was I going? Oh, I was going to San Juan.
Speaker 1: It was San Juan. It was a seventh thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning flight out of Newark Airport, and and we
Speaker 1: I get there and and then it was a seven
Speaker 1: supposed to leave at seven thirty, and then we find
Speaker 1: out that at six thirty. As we're boarding. We get
Speaker 1: on the plane, and then I see the pilot come
Speaker 1: running up to the flight attendant and they're like, what, no,
Speaker 1: what is you were talking about? What it was like
Speaker 1: like kind of a little bit of a uh back
Speaker 1: and forth dialogue, like that's weird. Come sitting in my
Speaker 1: seat and I see the pilot coming running up. This
Speaker 1: can't be good. But she's and then he's like, you
Speaker 1: tell him, now, you tell him, you tell him. So
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, they make an announcement on board.
Speaker 1: All right, ladies, and gentlemen, for those of you who
Speaker 1: already bore, please deplane right now. We need to deplane
Speaker 1: the board like deep plane. What's wrong with this fucking thing.
Speaker 1: By the way, I hate that term. You don't dcar, right,
Speaker 1: you don't you don't do you d train? No, you
Speaker 1: get off the train and get out of the car.
Speaker 1: Get out. Shouldn't just be like everybody off the plane.
Speaker 1: Everybody get off the planet, one plane. We all show plane.
Speaker 1: It's math math the plane. Go google Fantasy Island opening scene.
Speaker 1: Some snow flick is gonna complain about your accent. So
Speaker 1: you know, I nailed it, nailed. It's problematic. It's problematic.
Speaker 1: I did an impression. Problematic, you're not woke. So we
Speaker 1: come off the plane and then the pilot of all
Speaker 1: people gets on the on the freaking CB radio. The
Speaker 1: thing they at the gate A system, A system. I said,
Speaker 1: Hi and gentlemen, good morning. So as you can see
Speaker 1: this flight here, we're going to San Juan. Um we
Speaker 1: had to take. As it turns out, this plane was
Speaker 1: originally slated to go to India, and last night they
Speaker 1: switched planes and they put this. They gave us this
Speaker 1: plane to go to San Juan well, this plane has
Speaker 1: three pounds of fuel on it, so it will be
Speaker 1: too heavy to land in San Juan because not enough
Speaker 1: fuel will have burned off. Obviously it's supposed to land,
Speaker 1: and it was slated to land in India, so all
Speaker 1: the fuel would have burned off. So, as you can see,
Speaker 1: we have a problem. So there's this one truck that
Speaker 1: comes to offload fuel from the plane. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's nice, okay, that that um that is scheduled to
Speaker 1: arrive here at your departure time of seven thirty. And
Speaker 1: it takes forty five minutes to unload the hundred fifty
Speaker 1: thousand gallons of fuel that we need to make the
Speaker 1: plane light enough so we can fly it. And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: and this is my fault. Why why my being inconvenience
Speaker 1: for this? Still know? Okay? So now it's now it's
Speaker 1: eight thirty. Now it's eight thirty, and they say they
Speaker 1: come back and they're like, as it turns out that
Speaker 1: that that truck that was supposed to arrive at your
Speaker 1: schedule departure time, the gas sucking, the gas sucker was
Speaker 1: supposed to come at at seven seven thirty. It just
Speaker 1: got there at eight thirty. It ran out of gas.
Speaker 1: So it got there at thirty and okay, now it's
Speaker 1: nine irony, by the way, that would be Now it's
Speaker 1: nine thirty. As it turns out, that was already half full.
Speaker 1: They have to send another second truck now to suck
Speaker 1: the rest of the gas off. Oh wait, now it's
Speaker 1: ten thirty. Oh we need a third truck because that
Speaker 1: one was half full. Brody, They put us on the
Speaker 1: plane at around nine thirty. We fucking took off like
Speaker 1: a quarter after twelve. Wait, man, this this this this
Speaker 1: a M and P M. Now am a bill PM seven.
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is it was seven thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning flight believe at twelve fifteen, because almost is
Speaker 1: beach time. Why in the fuck did they not schedule
Speaker 1: a truck to do the job in the overnight? I
Speaker 1: mean they switched the plane in the overnight, did somebody?
Speaker 1: You know? So the pilot was trying to make what
Speaker 1: it was. It was Newark Liberty International Airport and it
Speaker 1: was Airlines, by the way, on a routine. On a routine,
Speaker 1: this is a daily flight that leaves at seven thirty
Speaker 1: with the same flight number three that leaves every morning
Speaker 1: at seven thirty to go. They don't have another plane.
Speaker 1: It sounds does not in the truck right. But my
Speaker 1: point is someone somewhere decided the night before to change
Speaker 1: the plane and said, you know what, this plane what,
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you another plane, and this is the
Speaker 1: fuel from for the India plane. The India plane must
Speaker 1: have been the India plane. I don't know they got
Speaker 1: it from somewhere else. I don't know what they did.
Speaker 1: Maybe they canceled the flight. That has thing to do
Speaker 1: with us. What I'm saying. A night a day before,
Speaker 1: a night before, they took the plane and said, all right,
Speaker 1: this plane is not gonna go to India. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna leave it at the gate because first thing in
Speaker 1: the morning it's going to go to San Juan. Why
Speaker 1: did sometime in the overnight the fuel truck, this gas
Speaker 1: sucker not come to suck the gas off? Why did
Speaker 1: say did they? Did the truck try to suck its
Speaker 1: own off? You know, scary, you probably could have gotten
Speaker 1: to the side of the plane and suck the gas.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And I've been known to
Speaker 1: try crazier things, So you know what the funk man.
Speaker 1: So now what am I owned because it's not a
Speaker 1: weather related issue. In my opinion, it's on United. You
Speaker 1: fucked up. You had one job. This is their fault.
Speaker 1: Now they've delayed me for five hours. What are you
Speaker 1: gonna do for me? All they said was on they
Speaker 1: made an announcement on the loudspeaker. Oh yeah, so everybody
Speaker 1: gets to you know, every we thank you for your patient.
Speaker 1: It is a free time at the airpoint. Did they
Speaker 1: pay for your food? Nothing happened, nothing, some bullshit, we
Speaker 1: gotta buy you lunch. I tweeted the funk out of them,
Speaker 1: and United, who responds to everyone on Twitter, did not
Speaker 1: respond to me. You know why, because they were in
Speaker 1: the wrong. Did you call the airport concierge? Didn't call anyone?
Speaker 1: So W know, I'm not I'm not a believer in karma.
Speaker 1: W b D. Sounds like it sounds like you got
Speaker 1: concierge back. It sounds like you got to take you
Speaker 1: took advantage in Atlanta and you got going to San Juan. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the universe is equal. I'm not a believer in that.
Speaker 1: Well what would you do, man, Well, I would call
Speaker 1: corporate and I would and if they tell me each
Speaker 1: pilot makes their own return policies. I'd be pissed. You
Speaker 1: know that's conceptible all rights, a plane malfunction, then they're
Speaker 1: doing it to save different different right, if there's if
Speaker 1: there's a snowstorm, different, different story different. You've never gone
Speaker 1: too much gas thing. Look, they could had taken a
Speaker 1: screwdriver and punched a hole in it and let's let
Speaker 1: it drip with two three hours. It would have been faster,
Speaker 1: I think than than three trucks. By the way, the
Speaker 1: gas sucking truck shows up, shows up well into an
Speaker 1: hour after our departure time, and then was already half full.
Speaker 1: They sent They didn't send an empty truck. They sent
Speaker 1: the truck half full. So they have a gas truck
Speaker 1: sucked the gas out of the gas dude. It's like
Speaker 1: to me, I compared it to it's like you trying
Speaker 1: to take the water out of your pool with a
Speaker 1: fucking with with with a water bucket, like just like
Speaker 1: trying to shovel water out of your That's how they
Speaker 1: were trying to offload this gas that they had to
Speaker 1: have three trucks come over the course of five hours.
Speaker 1: United Airlines hasn't been in business very long. They probably
Speaker 1: didn't know how to do it. Please, So so what
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, in all seriousness, Well, I mean what
Speaker 1: I would say, Yeah, but what in the in the
Speaker 1: form of what, Well, in the form of you was
Speaker 1: supposed to have lunch with a client in San Juan,
Speaker 1: You lost your reservation, you lost half a day for
Speaker 1: their incompetency. I would want a free ticket it. I
Speaker 1: would want a free seat upgrade. I would want my
Speaker 1: twenty three dollars back that I spent on lunch at
Speaker 1: Newark Airport. You could ask for well I wanted, they go,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna say, say, we can't possibly do that
Speaker 1: for all two people on the plane, right, because you know,
Speaker 1: I don't care about two people. I care about Scary
Speaker 1: Jones and no one else called you. I want what
Speaker 1: I want. That's that's that's bad customer service, that's and
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I have nothing but
Speaker 1: love for the airlines in general and all the people
Speaker 1: who worked there. But the airline companies are doing their
Speaker 1: best right to get business back, to get people comfortable
Speaker 1: flying again. Tourism had took a huge hit this year.
Speaker 1: I would be going out of my way to win
Speaker 1: people over, so I would say that, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a regular flyer and this is I am a frequently
Speaker 1: my credit card with them. I mean, do you have
Speaker 1: a choice. We know you have a choice in sitting
Speaker 1: at the airport, but we're glad that you chose our
Speaker 1: company to make you sit at the airport. That should
Speaker 1: be what they say to you. Yeah, I would to
Speaker 1: be piste alright, absolutely pissed. So I'm not out of
Speaker 1: line for like, because I'm about to have a follow
Speaker 1: up phone call. I'm gonna go off on them because
Speaker 1: they didn't even respond to me on Twitter And what
Speaker 1: kind of customer service is that? That's terribly even Walmart
Speaker 1: got back to me right away. Yeah, anyway, and so
Speaker 1: I'm not nearly as angry as you, but it's just
Speaker 1: it was I'm getting angry for you. I'm gett a
Speaker 1: little upset. I can't tell you what can you call
Speaker 1: there and pretend to be me for a price? Oh,
Speaker 1: I see how it is you're negotiating. Uhh, I want
Speaker 1: I want percent of whatever I get you and it's
Speaker 1: a deal. Look at you. That's such a such a
Speaker 1: brody move, Nickel and dim in your own buddy. Uh So,
Speaker 1: But what about I might call back. I'll need your
Speaker 1: credit card and um, you know what, I need a
Speaker 1: phone tappic. I need to get all your information information
Speaker 1: and I'll do it on here like you know you
Speaker 1: and I'll connect. You can hear the whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you'll give my credit card number right here over
Speaker 1: the No no, no, not like on the podcast. I
Speaker 1: just meant like, we'll set up audio like this and
Speaker 1: we'll call so you can listen in and we'll do
Speaker 1: a three way call on the phone is fine, but
Speaker 1: have it headphones and we can record it. That's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I see over the holiday, you know, some people
Speaker 1: alerted me to the fact that you, David Brody, did
Speaker 1: some upgrades around your pool and your hot tub. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the hot tub in the pool that I have yet
Speaker 1: to be invited to. Yeah, So what I did was, well,
Speaker 1: the lights are out by my hot tub. We put
Speaker 1: those up for December holiday season. So those are those
Speaker 1: of it up for a while. I have a tree,
Speaker 1: a big tree right off my deck, um where the
Speaker 1: hot tub is, so when you're in the hot tub,
Speaker 1: it lights up. And I put lights around the deck
Speaker 1: railing so I could light the deck up as well.
Speaker 1: But around the pool, I have a fence around the pool. Um,
Speaker 1: and again I'm not trying to be bougie. The house
Speaker 1: came with the pool and the fence was already there.
Speaker 1: But we have a a light, a light in the
Speaker 1: backyard so you could swim at night. But it's not
Speaker 1: as cool and as bright as you'd like. It's bright enough,
Speaker 1: but my daughter has been having friends over for a
Speaker 1: little you know, some pool parties, and later at night
Speaker 1: it's like, my friends over jump in the pool. So um,
Speaker 1: I lit the pool up. I put L E D
Speaker 1: lights around the top of the fence that changed color
Speaker 1: and and and blink and whatever else. So I took
Speaker 1: a picture of the lights when they were blue, and
Speaker 1: I posted it and I said, look how good the
Speaker 1: pool looks. This is what I'm doing on vacation. And
Speaker 1: scary still can't come in the pool, so which sucks
Speaker 1: because I really feel like I've earned that that right
Speaker 1: to come to your pool because we are boys right now.
Speaker 1: You are boys, Yet you keep going on baseball trips
Speaker 1: without me, So there's no way, there's no way you
Speaker 1: are going to spring for a baseball trip with my
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys, My ultimate original Brooklyn boy friends. I would
Speaker 1: have gone with Atlanta. I would have done that going
Speaker 1: to a met game Intlant I could afford that. Want't

Speaker 1: gotta Jersey. The trip coming up, and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. Depends how

Speaker 1: but before we before we take another break, because I
Speaker 1: know we have we're up against we have to can
Speaker 1: break at some point. We're up against it, like we
Speaker 1: have a clock. They always say that on the sports stations.
Speaker 1: We're up against the update. It's an update and make
Speaker 1: a point. And okay, um, speaking of St. Petersburg, you
Speaker 1: posted something. You can mention the name of the place
Speaker 1: if you want. I'm not going to. But you you
Speaker 1: posted a picture you were at a place claiming to
Speaker 1: have Brooklyn Pizza. Yeah about that, And and and I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't claim it. I didn't claim it.

Speaker 1: It was spizza. Now, I never claimed it was any good.
Speaker 1: I was just curious because I'm walking by and I'm like,
Speaker 1: look at this place, trying to be proved me wrong.
Speaker 1: So so I walked in to grab a sl I
Speaker 1: wasn't even hungry. I look, I walked in, I'm like
Speaker 1: kind of a So I was talking to the guy,
Speaker 1: and the guy behind the counter struck me as somebody
Speaker 1: who might have been from Brooklyn. He goes, yeah, so
Speaker 1: he might have been originally from Brooklyn. Media thirty grandparents
Speaker 1: were from Brooklyn thirty years ago. Came from Brooklyn to
Speaker 1: come to St. Petersburg. It was it wasn't that good, Brodie,
Speaker 1: just as a condo sorc. I'm looking at this pizza
Speaker 1: and you know, it looks like it looks like conveyor
Speaker 1: belt pizza. It looks like you got it from Domino's
Speaker 1: or like one of the conveyor belt places. You can
Speaker 1: tell by the crust the color of the cheese is wrong.
Speaker 1: There's there's no cheese near the crust, so it read
Speaker 1: it's just terrible. Now, I will say this, So for
Speaker 1: for a place, like for a place that's you know St. Petersburg, Florida,
Speaker 1: where you know you're not getting great, amazing pizza anywhere,
Speaker 1: it was it was passable for like just decent, like
Speaker 1: a guess, but but it would not stand up to
Speaker 1: anything that we have here. You know, it was just
Speaker 1: like it was. It's the best of it's the best
Speaker 1: of what was available at the time. Now I can
Speaker 1: tell that even if I even if I didn't know.
Speaker 1: The pizza in the background on the table in your
Speaker 1: picture is little. They look like sugar packages, but they're
Speaker 1: little packages of crushed red pepper. That is a sign
Speaker 1: you're at a pizza place. You're at a ship pizza place,
Speaker 1: because if they're putting little packages across red pepper instead
Speaker 1: of the little shakers of red pepper, there are ship
Speaker 1: pizza place. A real pizza place as shakers, a fresh gray,
Speaker 1: the cheese reagano crushed red pepper. You don't put packages
Speaker 1: of red pepper out like your fast food joint. That's bullshit.
Speaker 1: You have to pass the glass thing with the sprinkler
Speaker 1: with the metal. That's what that's real or somewhe is offensive.
Speaker 1: Now I will I can't, yeah, but listen, but I
Speaker 1: had to try because I was curious. I never said
Speaker 1: it was great. Now, Damon John's wrote to us, uh
Speaker 1: and this is when we don't really have time for
Speaker 1: email this week, but I want a couple I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about like this guy here because it relates
Speaker 1: to it at the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: Send us your email. UM, my name is Damon. I'm
Speaker 1: a slice from I'll get this from Iowa. Guess what
Speaker 1: Casey's pizza, that gas station pizza we keep talking about
Speaker 1: it sucks. I took a screenshot of my lock screen
Speaker 1: of the I Heart app and it has Oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, this is all of his complaints in one
Speaker 1: so cases Pete, He's pizza sucks. And then he took
Speaker 1: the lock screen of the Iron app. It's and Brody's
Speaker 1: face is covered up. So that's another problem. That that,
Speaker 1: but you say it's not a problem because you know
Speaker 1: you're okay with it for some reason. And then and
Speaker 1: I'm up to episode number one. Uh. And then he
Speaker 1: also says, Michael Rappaport said he would come back to
Speaker 1: you guys in an earlier podcast. I'm up to and
Speaker 1: still no sign of Michael Rappaport's research reappearance. Well, you
Speaker 1: know what, Ever, since Michael Rapport screwed me over on
Speaker 1: the cameo app by uh by putting Bethany Frankel as
Speaker 1: the person who told him about the app, She's getting
Speaker 1: like five of all his money instead of me. I
Speaker 1: got beefoot Rappaport do. I still love the guy and
Speaker 1: we would have him back on, but he cost me
Speaker 1: some money. He he you know he did, He repeated me,
Speaker 1: he fuck you, Pete. You know, Rappaport screwed me unintentionally.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it wasn't deliberate, but he threw a bone
Speaker 1: to Bethany Frankel, who does not need the money, does
Speaker 1: not also somebody. And then on the opposite side of
Speaker 1: the case, he's pizza a guest station pizza thinking about
Speaker 1: that one. Um, so I don't know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: find it on my phone right now. I can't find him. Somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody said pictures pizza and the best, It's fantastic. Here's
Speaker 1: the problem. We don't know what to believe. Here's what
Speaker 1: I no. No, let me tell you about. Forgive me
Speaker 1: for I don't remember who sent it. I usually screenshot
Speaker 1: all of the pictures you guys send so I can
Speaker 1: talk about it. I'll talk about the fake catchup next
Speaker 1: week that everyone's been sending me. But this picture of
Speaker 1: Casey's pizza that I can't find on my phone, I'm
Speaker 1: looking for it. It looked like it was in the
Speaker 1: trunk of somebody's car with the lid of the pizza
Speaker 1: box opened, and they said this is the best. That
Speaker 1: the tag said, And I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: someone who was who posted a picture of someone else's
Speaker 1: post and it wasn't theirs, but it said move over,
Speaker 1: forget about New York and New Jersey. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the best pizza, and hold on. It was and it
Speaker 1: was a taco pizza. It had lettuce and taco meat
Speaker 1: on it and tomato. It was pacing like like a
Speaker 1: taco vomited on bread. Dude, you can't you want to
Speaker 1: call it a taco pizza, but don't call it pizza.
Speaker 1: And don't say don't you dare claim it's anywhere near
Speaker 1: our ship. You've never been to New York and New Jersey, right, Well,
Speaker 1: that's in truck stop gas station taco pizza that you
Speaker 1: know you were shipping out fifteen minutes later, please, And
Speaker 1: you know the Pepper packages right next to it, that
Speaker 1: Pepper packages, the pizza Pepper packages from Pepper Paget. The
Speaker 1: episode titled Pizza Pepper Pepper Packages. I kind of like
Speaker 1: sucked the gas out Pizza Pepper packages. You know, you
Speaker 1: know funk that you know anyway, we've that we've tweet
Speaker 1: us pizza Pepper packages and that's pepper. I know, I
Speaker 1: said pepper people. People, We've talked about this in a
Speaker 1: previous episode. Unless you're such a worldly person that you've
Speaker 1: been around to taste all the pizza or taste several cities,
Speaker 1: you cannot just make this judgment from your armchair, sitting
Speaker 1: back and your lay easy boy and just say, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is better than anything in New York. You've never
Speaker 1: been here, you've never tried the ship. Two thousand pizza
Speaker 1: places in New York City in the five Borrows two thousand.
Speaker 1: You're not getting gas station pizza. That's and I've used
Speaker 1: this same argument for pizza for you Brody about the
Speaker 1: New Haven it's a New Haven argument because if you
Speaker 1: haven't tasted had it. I had New Haven pizza. It's good.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Right by the way, if if you go
Speaker 1: somewhere you guys know you like the signs, you're in
Speaker 1: a bad restaurant. So for me, like I mentioned the
Speaker 1: red pepper packages, the pizza pepper packages, that's a sign
Speaker 1: for me, not a good pizza place. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know, you know what. You're
Speaker 1: in a great pizza spot. When they write the specials
Speaker 1: in black sharpie on a on a plate, on a
Speaker 1: paper plate. Yeah, and they tap it to the wall
Speaker 1: and they tape it to the wall. Those are the
Speaker 1: best pizza spots. And it's usually like all the choke
Speaker 1: uh and uh and cantloni bean pizza. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: they want to get rid of those two ingredients. So
Speaker 1: then they're promoting that. We got to a bunch of
Speaker 1: people have been d m ng me pictures of a
Speaker 1: ketchup bottle that looks like Heinz Ketchup, right, except when
Speaker 1: you look closely, it's America's classic ketchup. So it's like
Speaker 1: it's like it's like trying to be hind SketchUp by
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, we're America's classic ketchup, which you think
Speaker 1: of hinds right, because that's America's classic ketchup. Knock go
Speaker 1: off ketchup bottle that looks like you know what it's.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's SketchUp, is what it is. It's sketch up,
Speaker 1: not real. It's very sketchitty ketchup. It's it's sketch SketchUp,
Speaker 1: but it's sketchy, it's not real Heinz Ketchup. That to
Speaker 1: me is a sign like you're cutting back, you're using
Speaker 1: fake ketchup bottles, and even worse, like you listen, if
Speaker 1: you use hunts ketchup, at least you're like you're admitting, listen,
Speaker 1: we don't have hind SketchUp. It is what it is
Speaker 1: when you're trying people, right, when you're using the old knockoffs.
Speaker 1: So Michael sent me that, A bunch of the people
Speaker 1: have sent me that. Also, I got Marcus sent me
Speaker 1: on that rely on that note. On that note, it's
Speaker 1: we had a company did this to us back in
Speaker 1: the day with this looks like Sony, like the Sony
Speaker 1: logo written the way Sony called kob Kobe right c
Speaker 1: O b Y in the same front letters with an
Speaker 1: oh in an end Toby Sony. And you look at
Speaker 1: it real quick and go, oh, those are good headphones.
Speaker 1: Well that's what they did with this ketchup. How is
Speaker 1: how are they not being suited for copyright infringement? Is
Speaker 1: what I want to know. But this catchup, Bottle America, catchup,
Speaker 1: it's waking the same way. Yeah, speaking of infringement, there's
Speaker 1: um a gas station that has like a quick Mart
Speaker 1: not that far from my house, not far from the Walmart,
Speaker 1: I should says, about a half hour from my house.
Speaker 1: And um, it's something I don't know the name of it,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna just say it's Danny's, like Danny's Quickmart
Speaker 1: or something. And the D is the authentic copyrighted Disney defunct.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, So it looks like it looks like
Speaker 1: it's Disney. H It's bad. That is bad, Like, so
Speaker 1: you know, no one from Disney Corporation is in that
Speaker 1: part of New Jersey. But that's some fucking balls. Use
Speaker 1: the Disney d half. By the way, have you ever
Speaker 1: tried to suck your own Disney? DA was trying to
Speaker 1: my own day. Yeah, yeah, Disney sr Disney. We gotta
Speaker 1: take a dude, What are we doing? World was at
Speaker 1: the end of the podcast, let's take a break. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna piss some people off. I gotta tell you. We
Speaker 1: are way late. I don't know where. We were literally
Speaker 1: near the end already and we're just taking our second break.
Speaker 1: What then are we doing here? I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: piss people off then all right, because I need a
Speaker 1: little more time. You need time for that UM the
Speaker 1: you know one thing I don't get mad. Don't get
Speaker 1: one of the Can I I could? I could talk
Speaker 1: about stamps? We talk about got stamps? Talk about Can
Speaker 1: I talk about stamps? Yet? You're doing we need to stace. No,
Speaker 1: you do it right now. Oh, but you had something,
Speaker 1: you know, it's very very brief on on the topic
Speaker 1: of um going to another country where they speak a
Speaker 1: different language on an airline. They first of all, they interrupt,
Speaker 1: they interrupt you on your headphones and they cut into
Speaker 1: the feed but they do it double the time because
Speaker 1: for every announcement they have to do a second announcement
Speaker 1: in another language. That's what I experienced. It was English
Speaker 1: and Spanish. But here's what they are you flying to
Speaker 1: scary and not a country. I'm so sorry. No, the
Speaker 1: no Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States,
Speaker 1: part of America, but they speak a different language, so
Speaker 1: they have to do the courtesy of making the second
Speaker 1: bilingual flights. So but the best part of it is,
Speaker 1: and you'll notice this, I feel like the bilingual, the
Speaker 1: people in the second language get robbed. And here's why,
Speaker 1: because I measured the time in my head of every announcement.
Speaker 1: The English announcement how to be about two and a
Speaker 1: half minutes long. Then the bilingual the Spanish announcement comes
Speaker 1: on and it's literally thirty seconds because and it was
Speaker 1: like it was pretty much supposed to say exactly what
Speaker 1: they just said. But I'm like, there's no fun, stable
Speaker 1: way this motherfucker could sum up what this dude said
Speaker 1: in English in three minutes in thirty seconds, so I
Speaker 1: feel like they're missing information. And by the way, that
Speaker 1: wasn't just that one announcement. It was every fucking announcement.
Speaker 1: So so now you've got a situation where I feel
Speaker 1: like you're not fully informed and you're at a loss
Speaker 1: because you speak the second language. Because they weren't making
Speaker 1: the full announcement. It can't possibly be thirty seconds when
Speaker 1: the original announcement in English was two and a half
Speaker 1: minutes impossib to span What if the Spanish was like, hey, um,
Speaker 1: sorry to bother you. How funny was that stupid ship?
Speaker 1: We just told the English speaking people, if they're just
Speaker 1: making fun of you, it had to be like how
Speaker 1: ugly is that guy in seven seven C? And everybody's
Speaker 1: looking at you because you're in seventh C. Listen. Uh,
Speaker 1: My wife and I went on our honeymoon in to Switzerland.
Speaker 1: We get married obviously. And I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this, but Switzerland. Everyone always says I'm neutral, like Switzerland.
Speaker 1: Why Why is that? Because Switzerland during World War Two
Speaker 1: didn't choose a side, right, And so Switzerland is in
Speaker 1: the middle of other countries. And so to the north,
Speaker 1: if I'm correct, is Germany, and to the east or
Speaker 1: west is France. Right, I think to the west is
Speaker 1: France and to the south as Italy. Okay, So in Switzerland,
Speaker 1: they speak four languages. Everyone almost everyone in school learns
Speaker 1: four languages. You learn German, French, Italian and English. So
Speaker 1: when you're on the trains, and by the way, Switzerland
Speaker 1: has the most incredible train system. You can take these
Speaker 1: amazing trains to glaciers and snow covered mountains and that's
Speaker 1: how you get around. Um. Switzerland is like um, like
Speaker 1: Amtrak trains, but really much nicer trains with glass ceilings
Speaker 1: so you can see the snow capped mountains. It's awesome, right,
Speaker 1: But all the announcements are in four languages. So when
Speaker 1: you get on the train, and if you take like
Speaker 1: an hour long train ride, it's it's like it's German German,
Speaker 1: it's talk talk like you know German, that's a terrible
Speaker 1: German um. But and then it's Italian and French and
Speaker 1: and so when you hear the English, you then start
Speaker 1: listening for the other words in the other languages to
Speaker 1: try to like pick out the words that you recognize,
Speaker 1: and then by the end of the hour, you sort
Speaker 1: of you've learned a couple of words. Right, But imagine
Speaker 1: your two languages was four. If you're flying to Switzerland
Speaker 1: or from Switzerland, and the announcements had to be in
Speaker 1: that many languages. You never watched the movie shot, So, Um,
Speaker 1: I got a scamboni. I want to play the audio
Speaker 1: off my phone, UM, if I could find it, because
Speaker 1: uh oh, now it's not here. That's weird. No, I
Speaker 1: had the audio from a scam and I don't see
Speaker 1: it because it's three it's it's a long scam. I
Speaker 1: hope I didn't delete it all right, Um, I would
Speaker 1: Can I teach something next week? Yeah, I've got a
Speaker 1: I've got a bad I got bad DJ audio for
Speaker 1: next episode, and I have some I have some more
Speaker 1: audio from Katie Ba Katy. I'm play, but I want
Speaker 1: to talk about stamps for a second. This is not
Speaker 1: a commercial. I know Elvis does stamps dot com. It's
Speaker 1: not that kind of commercial. I was in a post
Speaker 1: office on vacation and I was second in line behind
Speaker 1: an older woman. And I say older. I want to
Speaker 1: say she was at least eighty something, and God bless her,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm not. I'm not hating on the lady,
Speaker 1: like she's still using the US Postal Service. Had I
Speaker 1: had I had packages. I had to I had to,
Speaker 1: I had to have something shipped, and I couldn't do
Speaker 1: it at home, and trust me, and I had to
Speaker 1: get I had to get a change of address form.
Speaker 1: Was there for someone spans? Yeah? Yeah. So anyway, I
Speaker 1: had to be in the post office for some reason,
Speaker 1: and I'm behind this woman and she says, can I
Speaker 1: get some stamps? Woman says, yeah, how many? Would you like?
Speaker 1: I need to booklets of stamps. What do you have?
Speaker 1: So the woman yeah, well, here's the thing. You can
Speaker 1: buy stamps, or you could pick out the stamps of
Speaker 1: the month. So she says, what do you have? Cute?
Speaker 1: So the woman says, I have hearts? Nah have those?
Speaker 1: I have espresso? No, how about science horses? I have
Speaker 1: horses stamps with horses. And she says no. Now I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I already waited on line a bunch of minutes
Speaker 1: to get to be second in line. So now my
Speaker 1: leg is shaking a little bit because I kinda I
Speaker 1: want to go. I want to be in the post office.
Speaker 1: Well what else do you have? We have flowers? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: I have them already. So I'm like, if you have them,
Speaker 1: why do you buying more stamps? Because this is obviously
Speaker 1: a woman that doesn't like set up an electronic payment system,
Speaker 1: pays anything. It sounds like she's a collector. Does that
Speaker 1: sound like she's really using them at all? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: no no no no she's no, she's whatever she's doing.
Speaker 1: So then woman goes, I have Star Wars stamps. Oh.
Speaker 1: She goes, oh, oh no, I don't like Star Wars.
Speaker 1: And that's when I got really made. So finally she settled,
Speaker 1: she goes, you know what, just give me some Forever
Speaker 1: stamps whatever, whatever the regular is, I'll get the regular
Speaker 1: the regular. So here's my question to non eight year
Speaker 1: old women, who the fuck cares about what's on your stamp?
Speaker 1: The whole purpose of a stamp is to put it
Speaker 1: on a envelope and mail it the funk away from
Speaker 1: never see it again. You're never gonna see it again.
Speaker 1: Nobody has ever called me, and you're lying if you
Speaker 1: say it happened to you and go, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that thing you sent me You used Yoda stamps, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you made my day. Nobody cares. This woman
Speaker 1: was picking out how to be the perfect set. Oh
Speaker 1: what kind of flowers there on the stamps? I don't
Speaker 1: give us, get the stamps that the stamps. Who will
Speaker 1: kind of stamps. I listen, I used to see this
Speaker 1: a lot, like ten years ago. People would do the
Speaker 1: stamp thing, but like, have you ever gotten a letter
Speaker 1: from like and it's got like a rose on it.
Speaker 1: I don't even know, I'm just looking at I never
Speaker 1: ever judge somebody by the pattern of the stamp on
Speaker 1: your envelope. Who looks I never. I don't even know
Speaker 1: if I have stamps. That that's I'm just happy. I'm excited, Brodie,
Speaker 1: if I if I have to mail something and I
Speaker 1: could find the fucking stamps that I used last time,
Speaker 1: because I don't know where the hell they went, and
Speaker 1: I always lose them, so I always have to wind
Speaker 1: up going to the store and buying another book of stamps.
Speaker 1: Well I used to buy. I used to lose the
Speaker 1: stamps all the time. You used to lose them all
Speaker 1: the time, and everybody needed a stamp. I didn't have
Speaker 1: a stamp. I go buy more stamps. So you have
Speaker 1: to go to go to the vending machine to buy
Speaker 1: the stamps. Is back in the day, right, So a
Speaker 1: number of years ago, I set up all of my
Speaker 1: mother's payment plans for for digital like auto pay. Everything
Speaker 1: is digital now. She used to mail everything, like this
Speaker 1: woman in the post office. So she's, well, I don't
Speaker 1: need stamps anymore. Here you take them in case you
Speaker 1: have to mail anything. So she gave me like a
Speaker 1: big bag of full of stamps. But so she's got
Speaker 1: thirty two cents stamps when they were thirty two cents.
Speaker 1: I've got forty something cents forty two cents stamp. And
Speaker 1: then so then because when they increased the prices, this
Speaker 1: is before the forever stamps. But when they increased the
Speaker 1: prices stamps, you might have a forty eight cents stamp,
Speaker 1: but now it's fifty five cents. So you want to
Speaker 1: buy that, you have to buy the ones that make
Speaker 1: up the price. So I got I got sleeves, you know,
Speaker 1: like whatever they call them, like pads of one cent,
Speaker 1: two cent, three cent, four cent, five cent stamps. So
Speaker 1: I mailed something some legal documents that had to be
Speaker 1: mailed over the over the weekend, and I had to
Speaker 1: put like, uh, I don't know, they told me at
Speaker 1: the post office. She goes, I said, how much do
Speaker 1: you have to put on this thing? It's a little heavier.
Speaker 1: Shes oh, just put two stamps which is fifty which
Speaker 1: is a dollar ten. So I said, well, no, like
Speaker 1: I have, I have stamps in different denominations. How much
Speaker 1: is it? She's, oh, let me check, and it was
Speaker 1: like seventy seventy eight cents or something something like that,
Speaker 1: seventy seven cents. So first of all, I say, I
Speaker 1: already thank you. Trying to try to scambony me, she
Speaker 1: tried to get me to put a dollar tent on
Speaker 1: the thing because she's like, oh, we just put two stamps. Well,
Speaker 1: why would I do that if it's only seventy eight cents? Right?
Speaker 1: So I whip out the envelope of stamps and I'm
Speaker 1: putting a thirty two and some five. I'm doing the
Speaker 1: math now out of the room. On the front of
Speaker 1: the envelope, I almost covered up the return address. So
Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, I did. I did, like the fives,
Speaker 1: so I did, like I did a thirty two, like
Speaker 1: you diminations of dollar bills dollar right, So I so
Speaker 1: I pieced together the seventy eight cents. But I still
Speaker 1: have like sleeves and sleeves of a little little stamps
Speaker 1: like ones and fives and three. But the lady at
Speaker 1: the post office was like, God, just put two stamps
Speaker 1: on there. Hey, honey, it's my money, like it's it's
Speaker 1: my it's my value. It's I didn't spend the money,
Speaker 1: but like, why would I just overpay? So it's good
Speaker 1: to have those little step amps. I've got a lot
Speaker 1: of them, that's my point. I have a lot of them.
Speaker 1: So I just want to say f you Sandy, because
Speaker 1: I'm assuming her name was Sandy who wanted to pick
Speaker 1: out the perfect stamp. Truly, it was like seven minutes
Speaker 1: of they don't like Star Wars, what else do you have?
Speaker 1: She might have been a Maryland. I could see her
Speaker 1: being a Maryland and Maryland so fuck you Maryland, but
Speaker 1: not in an old lady like funck you way, but
Speaker 1: more like come on, Malan, like come on, it's like
Speaker 1: and then she says she bought, and she bought um
Speaker 1: like one book called a book. She brought a book
Speaker 1: of stamps of the regular. Just give me the regular.
Speaker 1: So don't get behind Maryland at the post office. Now,
Speaker 1: please don't tell me, you guys slices that you give
Speaker 1: a fan pick your stamps. This one's got balloons on it,
Speaker 1: and balloons give me anxiety. Oh, this one's got an
Speaker 1: astronaut on it and a famous person who I like.
Speaker 1: You're not listen. If you collect stamps, that's fine. You
Speaker 1: can be a stamp collector. But if you're picking out
Speaker 1: stamps just to put on an envelope to pay your
Speaker 1: gas bill, you have too much. I'm on your hands,
Speaker 1: and so do you. David Brody for trying to return
Speaker 1: fireworks after the you have you let me I brought
Speaker 1: a full circle. Okay, yeah, did you guys try to
Speaker 1: have prank? Called me? Wasn't you? It was not me,
Speaker 1: you dick, it was not. I swear, I swear, all right,
Speaker 1: I promised. I'd like to know who did put you
Speaker 1: up to it? One of the old guys from the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: And you know what, and don't get chitty pizza that
Speaker 1: calls itself. Boys, boys,
