Speaker 1: Start Up, Start Up, Brooklyn Boys, start up, Brooklyn buys Data.
Speaker 1: They're making noise data up. Episode two oh nine. This
Speaker 1: is the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Yeah. Have you guys listened
Speaker 1: to to Away yet? Not many? Yeah. I feel like
Speaker 1: we took a week off and people aren't back in
Speaker 1: the swing of things. I think people they weren't prepared
Speaker 1: for what was about to drop and how late we
Speaker 1: dropped it. Yeah, we didn't drop last week until Friday
Speaker 1: because even though we recorded it Wednesday afternoon, roughly, our
Speaker 1: new uploading system that they've been teasing us with for
Speaker 1: months was not ready. Yep, we got new software, folks,
Speaker 1: new software. It's the Boys is poring poring over to
Speaker 1: the new system on Wednesday. But it's in visible to
Speaker 1: the slices. Yeah, you're not gone anything. It's all on
Speaker 1: the back end. Then we got an email on Tuesday
Speaker 1: that said don't upload anything to you hear from us
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday. So then I sent an email to
Speaker 1: the big Boss and I said, hey, because the site's
Speaker 1: not ready, we already recorded Kent. Now this is this
Speaker 1: is where I thought it was a funny response. Not intentionally,
Speaker 1: I said, can we upload on the old site or
Speaker 1: should we wait until you give us the clear for
Speaker 1: the new site, and they wrote and they and they
Speaker 1: wrote back, yes, go ahead. Of course I love that,
Speaker 1: love the ambiguity, like, wait a minute, I asked you to.
Speaker 1: I gave you two choices yes, So then I, when
Speaker 1: I wrote back, I had to wait that. The next
Speaker 1: response was not quick, so we didn't know what to do.
Speaker 1: And finally the Big boss said go ahead and put
Speaker 1: it on the new system now, which was Friday. Lo
Speaker 1: and behold. We recorded last week's episode on Wednesday evening
Speaker 1: afternoon afternoon, I believe, right, yeah, so we had to
Speaker 1: hold it for forty eight hours, right, So just remember
Speaker 1: I got the approval to the yes, go ahead, which
Speaker 1: I didn't know what it meant on Thursday morning and
Speaker 1: didn't get the what what I really meant on Friday.
Speaker 1: Imagine holding in a dump for forty eight hours. So
Speaker 1: we had this thing and people like, what no podcast
Speaker 1: this week? So we gave you the dump. We gave
Speaker 1: you a giant dump on Friday, a dump of a podcast.
Speaker 1: And it looks like and again, by the time you
Speaker 1: hear this, you have already heard that. But as we're
Speaker 1: recording this, you can listen to this, or you can
Speaker 1: listen to that. You could go with this, you can
Speaker 1: go with that. I think you go with this because
Speaker 1: but but first go with that, because you gotta listen
Speaker 1: in order. Anyway, So this is on time. It's Thursday.
Speaker 1: We didn't do it on Wednesday because we wanted to
Speaker 1: give you the extra time because people are catching up
Speaker 1: to last week. And then I got some tweets that
Speaker 1: were like, oh, you guys are in studio. I heard
Speaker 1: Brodie's in studio. I know you're gonna record in studio Wednesday. No,
Speaker 1: we didn't. Didn't happen, did not happen. But it may
Speaker 1: it may soon soon enough, we may be back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we just you have to plan for it. And there
Speaker 1: were post show interviews and sales things, and we couldn't
Speaker 1: do it. I am staring at this card that I've
Speaker 1: yet to mail, that's been sitting here on the literally
Speaker 1: on the board where I'm wehearing, you know, my six
Speaker 1: hundred forty seven million dollar piece of equipment. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: well it's it's a wedding card, but it's one of
Speaker 1: the you know, the fancy ones papyrus. So it says
Speaker 1: and it's said to gave Nate for his wedding A
Speaker 1: game a papyrus card. Well, well, I will say that
Speaker 1: you have to pre pay a lot for papyrus and
Speaker 1: you start to stutter so much because of paycheck for
Speaker 1: a papus price is so and posters. You want to
Speaker 1: give it to the the special people people peep. Well,
Speaker 1: in fact, I will say with the papyrus card, it does.
Speaker 1: It does say on the top right corner um ex
Speaker 1: financing available, extra posted, extra extra posted required. So so
Speaker 1: that you're paying a premium premium. That's priors card. You
Speaker 1: pay up of a premium for a papyrus and not
Speaker 1: only do you papaya premium, but you have to papay
Speaker 1: extra po postage. I'm not that kind of a person
Speaker 1: to buy a paprius. You want to talk about multiple
Speaker 1: eying the cost of a papyrus so so yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: not the cost the paprice. Yea of a papyrus. So
Speaker 1: so what is packed in the papyrus card? It's a UM.
Speaker 1: It's actually a wedding card for two people. People who
Speaker 1: was invited to this wedding. That um of an acquaintance.
Speaker 1: H that I didn't go to the wedding. Now the
Speaker 1: wedding happened. Um, it was about it was a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Yeah, it was not this past week. No, no, not, Actually,
Speaker 1: the wedding was several months ago. It was. It was
Speaker 1: actually December. It was December, and here we are in
Speaker 1: a parole. No, no, it's March. I'm sorry. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to And as I'm sitting here, I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: I wasn't didn't go to the wedding. I had something
Speaker 1: else to do. So I finally got this card a
Speaker 1: couple of about a week ago, and I put a
Speaker 1: couple of uh you know, some cashish in the car.
Speaker 1: So it's sitting here and some paper waiting for extra
Speaker 1: pro postage because my stamps are in this drawer here.
Speaker 1: Now it's been about four or five days since I
Speaker 1: sealed the card. Hold on one second, I have a
Speaker 1: TV on in the background, and they've got Vladimir Puputin
Speaker 1: talking about Russian proper pupagandis the propagandapaganda? Yes, right, okay,
Speaker 1: so my so the cause has been sitting here and
Speaker 1: I put some cash in here. I put cash. So
Speaker 1: wedding I didn't go to. That happened in December of
Speaker 1: the aquaintance. You see where I'm going with this. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like they're just they're passing friends at best.
Speaker 1: I don't well, at this point, they already think you're
Speaker 1: a dick if for not giving you if I heard
Speaker 1: that you have a full year before you have to
Speaker 1: give a gift, you can you can give a gift
Speaker 1: up to a year and it's proper, per, proper, Okay.
Speaker 1: So so my question now is because it's sitting here
Speaker 1: for like a few days, by the way, or or
Speaker 1: do we just rip open the card right here on
Speaker 1: this podcast and just grab the cash out of it
Speaker 1: and say, fuck it, I'm not giving these people a
Speaker 1: gift and they probably probably forgot about me. Huh. By
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know. I know you're not very
Speaker 1: good friends with these people. But do you do you
Speaker 1: have any idea how we proposed No, okay, I don't
Speaker 1: think you owe them the money. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I think I think you could take the cash and
Speaker 1: uh and leave it at that. What are they can
Speaker 1: do not invite to the next thing you didn't really
Speaker 1: want to go. It's like the problem. The problem is
Speaker 1: they've given me too much time to think the extra
Speaker 1: postage on this. Okay, no more p things, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is all right, it's over, game over um. But the
Speaker 1: truth is the fact that I hesitated on the stamps,
Speaker 1: and I'm now in a different frame of mind four
Speaker 1: or five days later that I'm standing sitting here staring
Speaker 1: at this, at this envelope, and I'm like, I know
Speaker 1: there's cash in there, and now I feel a little
Speaker 1: different than I did the other day. I still didn't
Speaker 1: put the stamps on the card. I should just say,
Speaker 1: rip it, open, fuck it, put the money back in
Speaker 1: my wallet, and and just you know, they'll never know
Speaker 1: who's the wiser, right I don't know? Or should I
Speaker 1: just go through and give them the cat? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I could see cash leaving my
Speaker 1: leaving my It's like they got the wings on it.
Speaker 1: It's flying away. You know, I had too much time
Speaker 1: to think I hesitated. Say so now it takes on
Speaker 1: a whole new life. Would you just would you take
Speaker 1: the can put it back in your asking me, I'm
Speaker 1: taking the cash. Listen, I went I have a follow
Speaker 1: up story, but it was already earmarked. The problem is
Speaker 1: already marked for them. I already parted with it. See,
Speaker 1: I didn't do the double p thing there. I already
Speaker 1: parted with the cash it took it. It came out
Speaker 1: of my wallet in the beginning of the week again
Speaker 1: and again. All I needed was the extra postage on it.
Speaker 1: And uh, I decided to let it sit here. But
Speaker 1: now that it's marinating, it's given me a chance to
Speaker 1: think twice. Well, I was in a similar situation. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the problem with the situation, but let
Speaker 1: me just say the situation. I' I'm just gonna make
Speaker 1: it the short version right here. I was giving someone
Speaker 1: multiple gift cards for their birthday, Okay, all right, And
Speaker 1: so I picked up the multiple gift cards at Target.
Speaker 1: And when I rent to ring them up, there was
Speaker 1: a problem. I'll get to the problem X. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hijack your story, but in the time, it's
Speaker 1: more of a dilemma. Well, I'm you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't want to change I want to stick on
Speaker 1: your on your story. First, there is a problem with
Speaker 1: the gift cards, which I'll tell you later. And when
Speaker 1: I figured out the problem and and fix the problem,
Speaker 1: I had already time to rethink it. And I'm only
Speaker 1: giving the person one gift card like I I was.
Speaker 1: In other words, I was ready to go, but I
Speaker 1: got time to think about it, and I'm It's like
Speaker 1: it's like you're gonna go on a big ski lift,
Speaker 1: right big mountain. Then the ski lift breaks for two
Speaker 1: hours and then they fix it and you go, Nah,
Speaker 1: that mountains to contemplated. Well, I feel like we do
Speaker 1: this a lot because when we think of something to
Speaker 1: not do it, or you're impulsive and you're not thinking
Speaker 1: too much about it, but then when you've given time
Speaker 1: to think that, it sucks you up. Your home psyche
Speaker 1: doesn't Don't They do this with icing the kicker in football,
Speaker 1: where well that's the theory or they you know, they
Speaker 1: take the time out and they're like, he's gonna they
Speaker 1: can take the time out right before they kick the fields.
Speaker 1: Got he's think now maybe I should kick it this
Speaker 1: way instead or do this? And what compensate for the wind?
Speaker 1: That wasn't thinking about the wind, and you you end
Speaker 1: up sucking it up. So I feel like we do
Speaker 1: this every in everyday life, not just with wedding cards.
Speaker 1: There are people that would tell you it's a sign
Speaker 1: that you don't have to send the money like it's
Speaker 1: meant to be, like it's it's your money now. The
Speaker 1: fact that Papyrus called for extra postage and I sat
Speaker 1: here looking for extra stamps for extra five days and
Speaker 1: the card is it's still and listen, it's ready to go,
Speaker 1: it's filled out. No way to be honest, though, dude,
Speaker 1: but I just knowing there's do you like velope? Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you like them enough? Do you like them enough
Speaker 1: to get them up a Pirus card? Or did you
Speaker 1: get them up a Pirrus card because you want to
Speaker 1: show off that you bought up a Pyrus card, because
Speaker 1: you bought a really expensive card for people you don't
Speaker 1: really care about. For weddings, I usually go the extra
Speaker 1: mile and I pay these people you don't really like.
Speaker 1: You're like that, you know, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You don't really like buddy buddy with that didn't show
Speaker 1: with the wedding, right, but you were gonna give? How
Speaker 1: much were you gonna give if you showed up? Well,
Speaker 1: probably a little more because I would have eaten right,
Speaker 1: I would have brought a guest. I would have robbing
Speaker 1: with me. So you're talking like double the money. I
Speaker 1: would have doubled the money okay, And for those who
Speaker 1: don't know, in the Northeast, we give cash. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's important to say people, because these guys crazy minds.
Speaker 1: People will either give cash, we buy something off their registry.
Speaker 1: Scary as Italian, he gives cash or right, or he
Speaker 1: writes a check, but he doesn't do the check until
Speaker 1: he sees if it's a nice wedding. These wedding plates
Speaker 1: or cost like three fours a night on a on
Speaker 1: a Saturday night in these in these wedding halls. So
Speaker 1: you you kind of cover the car. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a whole theory. Do you cover the cost of the plate?
Speaker 1: You know, here's nothing you're gonna give two dollars to
Speaker 1: people you're not very friendly with, Right, you're thinking about it,
Speaker 1: and you didn't go to the wedding. And yet I
Speaker 1: know a few months ago you didn't go to a
Speaker 1: wedding of someone else and you gave them less than
Speaker 1: that and you're friendly with them. Wait a second, who
Speaker 1: is this? Who is out? I talked about it just
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. Oh okay, yes, so how
Speaker 1: can you go and give these people more money and
Speaker 1: you didn't even go to the wedding? Then your friend
Speaker 1: whose wedding you didn't go to. You gave them less,
Speaker 1: so I would send them a hundred and meet him halfway. Hey,
Speaker 1: here's a honey a hundy in a nice Papyrus card.
Speaker 1: But then you know what they're gonna do. Then go
Speaker 1: This son of a bitch can buy up a Pirrus
Speaker 1: card and it only gives us a hundreds, So you
Speaker 1: gotta get it. You gotta get a cheaper card. Did
Speaker 1: you write in the card like Mary and Steve congratulations? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well then save it for the anniversary, give it to
Speaker 1: him in a year from now. I might have to
Speaker 1: rip up the envelope to get the cash anyway. So
Speaker 1: envelope though, you know what, it's a Pirus envelope. This
Speaker 1: is this is a heavy, heavy duty paper. You know
Speaker 1: what you didn't eat, you didn't go, you barely know him.
Speaker 1: Hundred bucks they'll be you know why because now it's bonus.
Speaker 1: Now should I should take a hundred dollars back, put
Speaker 1: it in my wallet and then wi a albody, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna eat the cost of the papyris and still have
Speaker 1: to buy another card. No, put the hunter back in
Speaker 1: the card and seal the envelope steven open, We'll go
Speaker 1: into the store and just grab an envelope. No one
Speaker 1: counts the envelopes. Now you give him a hundred, you
Speaker 1: know why whoa whoa, whoa j don't say ju ju
Speaker 1: when it comes to money. Listen, if you gave them
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars in December. See now they're opening up ens.
Speaker 1: Yeah right right, So here's what, here's my theory. If
Speaker 1: you open that. If they opened up your card and
Speaker 1: everybody else's cards in December, right, they come back from
Speaker 1: the honeymoon, they're opening up cards. They're like, oh, four
Speaker 1: hundred from Phil and uh oh look the Henderson's. They
Speaker 1: gave us four hundred. All right, you're like, oh, scary,
Speaker 1: a hundred. That's that's not right. But now now you
Speaker 1: send it in March, it's found money. Now they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: bonus money. He didn't have to do that. That's very nice.
Speaker 1: Hundred hundred dollars, right, weren't expecting it. This is bonus hundred.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna get the same thank you the two hundred.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna remember you six months from now. Either way,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna say I'm a cheap fuck. No hundred
Speaker 1: bucks bonus boom ship money inflation gas prices give him
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. Don't the like it? Case closed? So
Speaker 1: I feel like now I feel like I should tell
Speaker 1: you what happened with the with the gift cards. Yeah? Please?
Speaker 1: So I'm in I'm in Target, and I'm not blaming Targets,
Speaker 1: not their fault. I go into the wall of gift cards, okay,
Speaker 1: and I want I need. By the way, since when
Speaker 1: do we have a streamline show where we actually like
Speaker 1: flow from one topic to the next without things up?
Speaker 1: How you go off on tangents? Hey about the oranges
Speaker 1: I bought yesterday. So I'm at Target and I go
Speaker 1: to the big gift card wall and you know, my
Speaker 1: eyesight is not perfect, but I can see the big
Speaker 1: hundreds on the card. And so I needed five hundred
Speaker 1: all the gift cards. Three hundred for somebody for their birthday.
Speaker 1: Who's they They've earned it, They're special in my life,
Speaker 1: close associate, you know, relative. And I needed a couple
Speaker 1: of hundred gift cards for two hundreds for other people.
Speaker 1: So I need five hundred all the gift cards. So
Speaker 1: I do a little shopping and I get gift cards,
Speaker 1: and I want to put the gift cards on a
Speaker 1: separate card, not the card I'm buying groceries and and
Speaker 1: and target bullshit with. So I take out my miscellaneous
Speaker 1: card that I used for special things, and I put
Speaker 1: the I go to scan the card and it says
Speaker 1: A hundred and six dollars? What I go? So I
Speaker 1: don't look at the screen carefully. I just go, son
Speaker 1: of a bitch, they must be charging me tax. So
Speaker 1: I stopped, and I google and it says New Jersey
Speaker 1: doesn't charge tax on gift cards because and you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be charged tax on gift cards because you get charged
Speaker 1: on tax when you spend it. You pay sales tax.
Speaker 1: Where did you wait? Where did you buy? Where did
Speaker 1: you buy these cart New Jersey tax? I get that.
Speaker 1: So then I'm thinking I gotta pay I gotta pay
Speaker 1: thirty dollars in tax to buy gift cards. I'd rather
Speaker 1: just write checks two people. And I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna get the gift cards of this tax. So I
Speaker 1: go with a customer service. I say, excuse me, I
Speaker 1: think your computers are wrong. They just charge me tax. Now,
Speaker 1: I the taxes and six percent in New Jersey. But
Speaker 1: I just instantly thought it was tax. I don't know
Speaker 1: why tax. There's your activation fee? What? What? What? What? What?
Speaker 1: That's why I asked you where you bought it, because
Speaker 1: I have to pay. Well, it's on the card, so
Speaker 1: I have to pay six dollars to Amex for the
Speaker 1: right to give them a hundred dollars so that I
Speaker 1: can spend it. And then when I use it in
Speaker 1: the store, the store then pays Amex for using the
Speaker 1: credit card. That's how credit by the way, that's how
Speaker 1: the gift cards work. That's why they why why do
Speaker 1: did they have a huge gift card tree in their store?
Speaker 1: Because it's free money for if I if I, but
Speaker 1: if I buy a Dicks Sporting Goods, they don't. They
Speaker 1: don't charge me a fee because it's right to Dicks.
Speaker 1: It's only Amex and Visa and master Card. So hold on.
Speaker 1: Most I looked at all the other ones. All the
Speaker 1: other ones don't charge you, at least in Target, and
Speaker 1: I saw, I know you're thinking, and Applebee's one. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you the ones I noticed had no activation fore
Speaker 1: the ones that are sold for the store. Because now
Speaker 1: the money is going right to the store. Dick Sporting
Speaker 1: Goods gets the gets the whole hundred or ninety whatever
Speaker 1: whatever there is, they get the money. So if I'm
Speaker 1: in Walgreens and I want to buy a let's say
Speaker 1: Nike Nike Superstore sneaker Store gift card, then they may
Speaker 1: charge you. I don't know. I don't know. I thought,
Speaker 1: what's the but what's the perk and what's why would
Speaker 1: you give it a wh would Walgreens want to carry that? Well,
Speaker 1: they must get a couple of bucks for selling it
Speaker 1: on the back end, right, Like every gift card you sell,
Speaker 1: the money comes out of their out of the company's pod.
Speaker 1: So I googled hundred allar gift cards that don't charge you.
Speaker 1: And there are banks that have a deal with Visa,
Speaker 1: Like let's just say, like Mike's Bank, Mike's Bank, you
Speaker 1: get a Visa hundred dollar card. There's no activation for hunds.
Speaker 1: You just got to order them online and they get
Speaker 1: them to you. Man, I've been taking over the coals.
Speaker 1: I always get charged this activation. I'm not paying it.
Speaker 1: I'm not paying six dollars because then I'm giving the
Speaker 1: gift to my to my person. Right, let's say give
Speaker 1: them three hundred dollars. It's costing me three eighteen to
Speaker 1: give them three. I just write them a check, doesn't
Speaker 1: cost me anything. I try to get fancy gift cards,
Speaker 1: I pay six dollars on ad piece of plastic. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: So f you m X and Visa gift cards that
Speaker 1: charge six dollar fee? How about that? How about that?
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm gonna get taken advantage of these are
Speaker 1: these are the things that I don't pay attention to.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, well, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I don't pay attention to it. I notice it, but
Speaker 1: I just don't let it disrupt my Well, you take
Speaker 1: back two hundred from your friends that you have the
Speaker 1: two hundred to spend on the gift cards. That's a
Speaker 1: great way of getting even with myself, right, Yeah, getting even.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta pay myself back. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: I to. Now, Now I'm seeing this person this weekend,
Speaker 1: and I have to figure out how I'm doing this
Speaker 1: because I if I write a check, See here's what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do between you and me. I want
Speaker 1: this money to go to them, not their spouse. And
Speaker 1: if you're wanting to check, they gotta put it in
Speaker 1: the bang and then they don't always spend it all,
Speaker 1: and then some of it goes to why don't you
Speaker 1: see that's why you should have gotten a gift card
Speaker 1: that's tailor made right to that person where the spouse
Speaker 1: won't use it like something that is special. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I but I really want to say, Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: One of the things I know they want is HBO Max.
Speaker 1: But you can't buy an HBO Max gift card. You
Speaker 1: can buy a Netflix gift card, can buy a Hulu
Speaker 1: gift card, you can't buy HBO Max. So I have
Speaker 1: to give the money. Do you understand? Yes, it makes sense, right,
Speaker 1: And and the spouse doesn't watch HBO Max, doesn't really
Speaker 1: watch TV. So I know that that the person I'm
Speaker 1: buying this for is gonna love to have the money
Speaker 1: for the for the streaming service. But I can't buy
Speaker 1: an HBO Max S gift card. That would have solved
Speaker 1: the problem. Boom, He's HBO max S gift card, right.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to buy a Disney gift card for Raoul,
Speaker 1: the guy in our garage. Great guy, you have to
Speaker 1: buy a Year's Word you know why because Disney Plus. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't spend other people's money it's like eight dollars
Speaker 1: a month, seven dollars a month. Don't tweet me. It's
Speaker 1: about that much money. To me, I go, oh, you
Speaker 1: gotta have it. He's a big Marvel fan. He loves
Speaker 1: the Disney Marvel movies and who doesn't want to watch
Speaker 1: Boat Willie over and over right, right, But he also
Speaker 1: wants to watch the Marvel TV shows in all the movies.
Speaker 1: So I said, listen, you know, I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'll get him a six month of three
Speaker 1: months something, just to get him started, because because really,
Speaker 1: you know, a year's worth is it's like a hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: I don't have money. I don't have money to throw around.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard, you've noticed the way I do podcasts,
Speaker 1: the way you fight for every last cent, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: thank you. So I want to do right by him
Speaker 1: and get him like a three month, say five you
Speaker 1: a few months, like just get him started, and you
Speaker 1: can't do it. So the only way around it. I
Speaker 1: was thinking, like, I'll open up a Disney I'll open
Speaker 1: up a Disney Plus account, a second one and then
Speaker 1: give him the log in and I'll open it up
Speaker 1: for a few months. But you can't really do that
Speaker 1: either there's no way to win anyway. The point was,
Speaker 1: I have to figure out out how I'm getting value
Speaker 1: to the person for their birthday this weekend. So you
Speaker 1: have any ideas, you know, keep me in mind, let
Speaker 1: me know, because that would be well, be good. All right,
Speaker 1: Well we'll talk off this podcast. Yeah yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 1: if and again, if you want to tweet me you
Speaker 1: have an idea, that's fine. Again, Today's Thursday, the tenth.
Speaker 1: I need this answer by like noon on the twelfth.
Speaker 1: So if you hear the six's too late. Noon. Noon,
Speaker 1: by the way, Noon, Oh my god, can I tell
Speaker 1: you about noon? What about it? Well? Noon reminds me
Speaker 1: of non. I had a non problem today. Do you
Speaker 1: want to hear it now? Non? Non? I didn't problem
Speaker 1: bread but not yeah, but not non bread, because if
Speaker 1: you say non bread, it's redundant. Just not yeah non Okay.
Speaker 1: So just this afternoon I had to go to Whole
Speaker 1: Foods to return some things to Amazon because they have
Speaker 1: like a little kiosk we can just no boxes, no labels,
Speaker 1: just handed over and they scan you done boom. So
Speaker 1: while I'm there, I said, I'm gonna just do a
Speaker 1: little shoping. I'll walk around so they had prepackaged what
Speaker 1: tie spice or one of the names of like the
Speaker 1: big places in New York they prepackaged their food. Now
Speaker 1: and hold spice, girl, No, I tell you right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I want. What I really really
Speaker 1: want some chicken masala uh ta tika masala. So I
Speaker 1: picked up some curry nut, some curry, some vindaloo chicken
Speaker 1: and some tika massala because you have to write, and
Speaker 1: I thought, I gotta get some non. So there's no
Speaker 1: non where they sell that the items I just met.
Speaker 1: There was no none. So I go over to the
Speaker 1: the bread area where they have like all the loaves
Speaker 1: of bread and the hamburger buns. No none. So I
Speaker 1: go into the bakery and none, no, none. Right, So
Speaker 1: I go into the bakery where I figured the bakery
Speaker 1: people will know about where the bread is. And so
Speaker 1: I walk over to the guy and he stands right
Speaker 1: by an opening. And in the opening there's a counter
Speaker 1: to his left and accounted to his right. Okay, And
Speaker 1: he walks towards me and he's right between the two counters.
Speaker 1: So the counters are behind the glass on his side,
Speaker 1: metal like metal tables. And I said, hey, listen, sorry
Speaker 1: to bother you. I'm looking for Non. And he says,
Speaker 1: what's that? So ready to him in trouble. You work
Speaker 1: at Whole Foods, you should know it. Non is. He
Speaker 1: work in the bakery, the bread section of the bakery.
Speaker 1: He's probably not not right. He's working in the bread section,
Speaker 1: like the fresh bread section, not the loaves of bread.
Speaker 1: He's working when you get the semolina and the Italian
Speaker 1: bread and the French bread. He's all about the bread.
Speaker 1: So I said, I'm looking for Non. He goes, what's none?
Speaker 1: So I said, it's traditional Indian bread. It looks like peta,
Speaker 1: but it's a little longer and it's fluffier and it
Speaker 1: says not an a a N. So he says, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe over there by the bread and
Speaker 1: he points to the you know, the loaves of bread,
Speaker 1: like the wonder bread section. God forbid, they had wonder
Speaker 1: bread by the way and Whole Foods. So I said, alright,
Speaker 1: I looked over there. They don't have it there. Because
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you, man, I don't even
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what the bread is. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it looks like. I'm sorry bullshit. They carry it, well,
Speaker 1: I know they carry it. They have to because it's
Speaker 1: fou fu bread. They have everything that's that's a little
Speaker 1: off the beaten path. Of course, the food, of course.
Speaker 1: So God is my witness scary. On the counter to
Speaker 1: his right, Oh God, on the counter is one package
Speaker 1: of three Whole Foods brand Non. It's Hiss white Non,
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's in. It's six inches off his
Speaker 1: left hip. So I said, that's Non right there, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm looking for. So he looks and he goes, oh.
Speaker 1: So I said, that's what I want. So he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I really don't know where it is. I thought it
Speaker 1: was by the bread. So then he puts it. He
Speaker 1: looks at it, and he puts it back down on
Speaker 1: the table. So I said, nude that I want that.
Speaker 1: That's what I want. Oh you want this one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why not? Oh? All right, Dore, you go. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you know what I mean. You're
Speaker 1: working best Buy. I'm looking for the iPads. What I'm
Speaker 1: looking for the laptops standing under the Apple. If you
Speaker 1: work in computers, I'm looking for a wide screen laptop.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know what, Yeah, you know so next
Speaker 1: to him that was the thing, like it didn't even
Speaker 1: belong there. Somebody put it down next to him. There
Speaker 1: it was, and then he doesn't think I wanted was like,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go find it somewhere. It just
Speaker 1: it looks like like he basically said to me, scary.
Speaker 1: It looks like this. Now you know what it looks like,
Speaker 1: you and go find it. Right, it looks exactly like this. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I'll take that one, so hilarious. Yeah, that is.
Speaker 1: You know something though, you know a lot of people,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are quitting their jobs, so you
Speaker 1: know they're they're hard to It's hard to fill these
Speaker 1: positions with competent people that I know. But they also
Speaker 1: hired like six seventy five thousand people across the country
Speaker 1: last week. So people are getting jobs, people even jobs.
Speaker 1: But how easily are they getting the job? Well maybe
Speaker 1: this guy just started, but he said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I just started here. Maybe all he needed was good hygiene,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, who knows the standards. He seemed
Speaker 1: like a nice guy. Just feel like, if you're in
Speaker 1: the bakery section, I hear the should know what non is.
Speaker 1: I hear they're lowering standards across the board. Well, at
Speaker 1: some point I'm gonna tell you about the standards they
Speaker 1: lowered at the Bowling Alley. Mind, I can't wait for that.
Speaker 1: By the way, Um, well, we had a couple of
Speaker 1: voicemails come through. Here's just one voicemail, will play it's
Speaker 1: just and then I have one piece of sound from
Speaker 1: two weeks ago I want to revisit. Okay, we'll do
Speaker 1: that after the break, but let's let's get this one.
Speaker 1: So it's it's you can always leave us a voicemail.
Speaker 1: The number is to one eight F you ape seventy seven.
Speaker 1: That's two on eight F you ape seventy seven. But
Speaker 1: before you play that, can I just call out somebody
Speaker 1: go for because I got a I don't want to
Speaker 1: mention names, but somebody DMed me and said, hey, um,
Speaker 1: something's wrong. I called your voicemail. You're you're you're two
Speaker 1: on eight fu A seventy seven and it's and it
Speaker 1: says I called Minnesota. That can't be right, ken it?
Speaker 1: And so I wrote back, did you google to two
Speaker 1: on eight area code? So he wrote back, shit, I
Speaker 1: just did, Yeah, it's Minnesota. The reason it's Minnesota is
Speaker 1: that it's the only f you Ape seventy seven area
Speaker 1: code that was available in the country, so we took it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so if you so, I so, I said, I hope
Speaker 1: you didn't like call from home where you need a
Speaker 1: calling plan and you paid seven dollars to call Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I hope you used your cell phone where it's no
Speaker 1: big deal, which was fine, So he thought maybe it
Speaker 1: was there was a mistake in the in the phone.
Speaker 1: First of all, shout out to Jacob in Fayetteville, Arkansas,
Speaker 1: in the area code for seven nine, not the home
Speaker 1: of Walmart. It's your Bentonville, which is the suburb suburb
Speaker 1: of Fayetteville. But yes, most people who work for Walmart
Speaker 1: live in the Bentonville Fayetteville area. Yes, absolutely. In fact,
Speaker 1: I will I will throw a dart at anyone's house
Speaker 1: on a map, and I guarantee you they probably work
Speaker 1: for Walmart, because well, if you get the darts at Walmart,
Speaker 1: they're probably a dollar ninety nine because the price is there,
Speaker 1: watch out for falling darts and price. Well yeah, so,
Speaker 1: so shout out to Jacob. He just was talking about
Speaker 1: the odds, the odds. Remember the conversation. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of tweets about that, about people defending me, that
Speaker 1: they are all all heard about the bots. What's the voicemail. No,
Speaker 1: that's not the voicemail, that's the honorable mention. He I
Speaker 1: want to acknowledge your girl, Aronnell girl on Twitter, very upset. Yes,
Speaker 1: I love Annell. Cut it out. You call it that
Speaker 1: every time, you don't know shit? Uh so yeah. So
Speaker 1: she basically was, yeah, but listen, I get it. I
Speaker 1: understand it's a thing. But my point was nobody uses
Speaker 1: it in every day language. As Sharon Bay has agreed
Speaker 1: with you. He says, nobody uses that. He's never heard
Speaker 1: of it. Right, Well, so people, all right, Well here's
Speaker 1: two or three. Hey, what's up Brooklyn boys. This is
Speaker 1: Anthony from Central Connecticut. I got my friend David with me,
Speaker 1: who happens to be from Brooklyn. Hey, what's up Brooklyn boys?
Speaker 1: Days from Brooklyn all my life, I lived in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Last year I moved to Connecticut and I'm missing home today.
Speaker 1: So my boys decided to call into the show. And
Speaker 1: that's one thing I want to know is how good
Speaker 1: is that Juniors cheesecake on Soundtown, Brooklyn. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for that. Okay, he's talking about and used cheesecake,
Speaker 1: which is a legendary cheesecake and restaurant in Flatbush Avenue
Speaker 1: down by the Bridge, and the local surprised. U. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But the point is the cheesecake that they have is
Speaker 1: an American cheesecake, which they do it the best of
Speaker 1: anyone else in that in that genre and the famous
Speaker 1: for it. I don't know, I haven't have any. It's
Speaker 1: cream cheese based, you know. It's it's crazy because the cheese,
Speaker 1: the cream cheese they use is Philadelphia cream cheese. To
Speaker 1: make you no, no, it's it's cream cheese from Philadelphia, right,
Speaker 1: but it's not Philadelphia. It's called Philadelphia brand cream cheese.
Speaker 1: They used the Philadelphia I'm pretty sure. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: a shortage for a while. I think it's kind of
Speaker 1: funny because the cheesecake that New York made famous, Juniors
Speaker 1: made famous in New York, they use Philly Philadelphia's cream cheese.
Speaker 1: Now I prefer the Regatta based cheesecake, which is the
Speaker 1: Italian cheesecake. I like them both. I My wife very
Speaker 1: much prefers the Italian cheesecake, but I like cheesecake. So
Speaker 1: when it says American cheesecake or pays. Regular cheesecake is
Speaker 1: probably the cream cheese based one, but Italian cheesecake get
Speaker 1: it every time. It's so much I love it so
Speaker 1: much better. But but yes, the juniors cheesecake is pretty
Speaker 1: damn good for an American cream cheesecake. Alright, alright, that's
Speaker 1: just a little something that call that a slice of Americana.
Speaker 1: Let's take a little break. And I am sitting here
Speaker 1: in my underwear. In case you didn't know, I was
Speaker 1: wondering people ask Someone asked on Twitter how I do
Speaker 1: the podcast? What you know? You comfortable? Like? What are you?
Speaker 1: What are you wearing? What do you wear? And to
Speaker 1: be quite honest, I don't know about you, Brody, but
Speaker 1: I will be the first to tell you that, since
Speaker 1: we've been doing this from home, I do this podcast
Speaker 1: in boxer shorts and a T shirt. How do you
Speaker 1: Because we're not on video, it's different than the Morning
Speaker 1: show where we do the fifteen minute morning show podcast
Speaker 1: where you have to be on camera and I'm in
Speaker 1: the studio and you're usually sitting on the couch and
Speaker 1: you're den and you have to get dressed. But what
Speaker 1: what do you wear for this podcast? I'm going somewhere
Speaker 1: I'm going somewhere with this. Well, right now, I'm wearing
Speaker 1: jeans and a T shirt because that's what I wore
Speaker 1: to the morning show today. But I'll be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I have done this podcast in my underwear, you have right.
Speaker 1: And I did my Walkers and Talkers podcast in my
Speaker 1: bathing suit once, which I once or twice that I
Speaker 1: talked about. So now let's take it a step further. Okay,
Speaker 1: So there is this crazy stat that people on Zoom
Speaker 1: calls and Microsoft teams that are on camera one in
Speaker 1: every ten are not wearing pants, like no one to
Speaker 1: wear either. Well, I don't know what it speaks to.
Speaker 1: Let's just say no, no, not wearing pants one at
Speaker 1: But think about that for a second. If you're in
Speaker 1: a Zoom room and you're on a call, like a
Speaker 1: big conference call with twenty people, there's likely to be
Speaker 1: two people on that call that you're looking at that
Speaker 1: are not wearing pants. And of course no one will
Speaker 1: ever call you out on it because you're in a
Speaker 1: business meeting. You know, you make it fired, they'll call
Speaker 1: hr on you. But you know, like, come on, get up,
Speaker 1: stand up from the camera, let me see that, turn around,
Speaker 1: let me see that flip it upside down. You know, no,
Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's doing that. But on what happens if you
Speaker 1: pour hot coffee in your lap and you gotta stand up?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, yeah, that's got to
Speaker 1: be careful problem. But think about that for a second,
Speaker 1: just because let that sink in. One out of every
Speaker 1: ten people on your zoom call meeting is not wearing pants.
Speaker 1: That's a fact. M crazy and bob me. Not to
Speaker 1: the bother me either, but I always, like I want to.
Speaker 1: I was on a zoom call with eleven people the
Speaker 1: other day, and I'm like, which one of these motherfucker's
Speaker 1: not wearing pants? Who is it? There's gotta be one.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It's a good point. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you go by the odds, then they have to
Speaker 1: write the odds are that a couple of people are
Speaker 1: definitely definitely not wearing the old pants right now. But
Speaker 1: and and for people that do audio podcasts, I would
Speaker 1: say that number is much greater. That's all. Hey, speaking
Speaker 1: to audio podcast I had a conversation with one of
Speaker 1: the big muckety MUCKs of I heart media podcasting. Oh
Speaker 1: did you really did? You didn't tell me about this. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't mention names. Well it happened. It happened at
Speaker 1: three five today, and I know I'd be talking to
Speaker 1: you and so uh coincidentally, timing wise, two friends of
Speaker 1: mine have reached out to me. Both of them are
Speaker 1: in radio and reached out to me and said they
Speaker 1: know celebrities that would like to do podcasts on I
Speaker 1: Heart I Heart Radio, right through our company I Heart Media.
Speaker 1: And so I said, they said, well, who do I
Speaker 1: speak to? I said, well, you just get a podcast.
Speaker 1: You just sign up for a podcast that I heart
Speaker 1: and upload it. Not a big deal. Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1: The people were calling about our celebrities and they would
Speaker 1: like to be wooed. They would like to have a
Speaker 1: contract and yes, and they would like to get paid.
Speaker 1: They would like to get paid. They'd like to know
Speaker 1: who you know, should their age usually their agent calls.
Speaker 1: They just want to get paid. They would want to
Speaker 1: be hired to do a podcast. Will be hired like
Speaker 1: like a job, like a salary. Right, So I said, well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm we're lowly people that made we
Speaker 1: work for the Elvis Durran Show, which is fantastic, but
Speaker 1: we don't have like a big Conan O'Brien contract. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't get the big the big Will
Speaker 1: Farrel money, right, We're not on that level. But one
Speaker 1: of the bowl that I'm asking about absolutely is a
Speaker 1: big name, like a big name in comedy, big name. Yes,
Speaker 1: can we get them on this podcast? No? No, although
Speaker 1: I know and I'm I'm I'm not sure I want
Speaker 1: them on the podcast, but they're they're a big name.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we want a big name on our podcast? Uh,
Speaker 1: the joke Man? We did? Yes, well this I would
Speaker 1: say arguably this person is more famous now than Jackie
Speaker 1: the joke Man. We talked to the Fat Jewish. We
Speaker 1: we did talk to the Fat Jewish and he did
Speaker 1: not come out with a book, even though I gave
Speaker 1: him a title for the book. Did not. Why wouldn't
Speaker 1: we want said big celebrity on our podcast? We might, I'll, well,
Speaker 1: I'll we'll talk off a fair decide. So anyway, So
Speaker 1: I I email the big, big, big big people at
Speaker 1: I Heart Podcast and I say, hey, I have some
Speaker 1: big names that are interested. Who do I speak to?
Speaker 1: Who do I Where do I direct them? They said, oh,
Speaker 1: you need to talk to this guy right. So I said,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll reach out to this guy and they
Speaker 1: copy this guy and they say, hey, this guy Brody
Speaker 1: wants to run by these two famous people. Can you know,
Speaker 1: get with him? So he called me. I googled him.
Speaker 1: You have a google a person before you like, have
Speaker 1: a big goal sometimes how big was the person you
Speaker 1: spoke to? Um big in our company? But I didn't
Speaker 1: know if they were Like, I was like, how did
Speaker 1: they get this job? So I googled them. Not only
Speaker 1: do they have a huge career in podcasting, they also
Speaker 1: have a band and some songs out. I was very impressed. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: so I had I had a great conversation with them,
Speaker 1: and you know, I did all the you know how
Speaker 1: connect you just an email being ambiguous about all this? Okay, yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: So so while I have you on the phone there,
Speaker 1: uh sir, let me let me ansk you a couple
Speaker 1: of questions. How does a guy who's co hosting a
Speaker 1: very successful I Heart Media podcast on radio podcast come boys? Right?
Speaker 1: He knows it's in my signature of my day? Have
Speaker 1: better not have said walkers and talkers on that one? Yeah? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I was saying that because I wanted to get in
Speaker 1: the comedy network because this person is also involved with
Speaker 1: the the the Will Farel comedy got So I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just here of curiosity while we're talking about how
Speaker 1: to get how to get how do you get in
Speaker 1: this comedy? Yeah? Get to how do you get into
Speaker 1: the big comedy Dude? By the way, not to take
Speaker 1: a detour, but died Luise, Louise died. Yeah, my friend, uh,
Speaker 1: Eric put up his picture with Louise. That's how I
Speaker 1: put up my picture with Burton Ernie. No, you're Bert Okay.
Speaker 1: So I said, well, how would we go about getting
Speaker 1: in the uh you know, uh, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And so he said, well, you know it's dog eat
Speaker 1: Dog world and there's so I said, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we were one of the top I Heart Radio podcasts
Speaker 1: top ten and the biggest of any employees of My
Speaker 1: Heart for a time, and then we came in number two,
Speaker 1: right behind Joe Rogan. He brought that up in the
Speaker 1: podcast Awards. The first annual I was eighteen and was
Speaker 1: called the first annual of the first one. It was
Speaker 1: just the bud gist. Well I'm saying it was the first.
Speaker 1: It wasn't called that, but it was that's redundant ATM machine.
Speaker 1: That's right. So it's like there's no Jaw's one, there's
Speaker 1: no Rocky one. This is Rocky correct. So I said,
Speaker 1: you know, we were we were big shots. But then
Speaker 1: our company went and signed every big name celebrity on
Speaker 1: the planet, like Colin O'Brien, and they stampeded all over us.
Speaker 1: I got, I go, Now, we're like, you know, who
Speaker 1: the hell are you guys? So I said, I'd like
Speaker 1: to get us on the old comedy network. Here, you
Speaker 1: guys are in the comedy section of the app. I go, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I want to get on the big commercials, the big
Speaker 1: comedy commercials. I want to get it. I want to
Speaker 1: get in with the big players. Right, good, good, look
Speaker 1: at you stepping up and speak well. The best way
Speaker 1: to get attention, to get more attention, because right now
Speaker 1: the big shots get attention. He said, what you're gonna
Speaker 1: do is go for tat because you get on, you
Speaker 1: have to be guests on the other podcast so that
Speaker 1: their listeners can hear you. And then you pay tit
Speaker 1: for tat and you have them on yours, so you
Speaker 1: they you promise them. Let's I'm just making up numbers
Speaker 1: ten thousand listens and they and if they if they
Speaker 1: get twenty thousand listens, you gotta juice it up for
Speaker 1: them and give him a couple of extra things to
Speaker 1: make up to twenty. But you gotta, like, you know,
Speaker 1: eye for an eye, you know what I mean, a
Speaker 1: little tit for tat, a little time for tit. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, why would will Farrell have us on
Speaker 1: his podcast? And all we have to promote is our podcast,
Speaker 1: Like we don't have a movie coming out, we don't
Speaker 1: have like a TV show coming out. He's like, that's
Speaker 1: a good point. So I said, so how do we
Speaker 1: He's like, well, you gotta find podcasts around your level
Speaker 1: that might want to have you on, like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe like a California Boys podcast that wants to do
Speaker 1: a contrast with you guys, oh Brooklyn Boys, California Boys,
Speaker 1: you know, and then we have them on our podcast,
Speaker 1: and then this way we expose each other to each
Speaker 1: other's list. The Island Boys, how about the Island Boy No,
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. So that was his suggestion.
Speaker 1: So then I said, you know, by the way, we
Speaker 1: call that the old Evoe the old right, So I said, right,
Speaker 1: So I said, well, how do we go about getting nominated?
Speaker 1: Because I mean, look, I love Conan O'Brien, I do,
Speaker 1: but who's to say his podcast is better than our podcast?
Speaker 1: But he's nominated every year now in the comedy division.
Speaker 1: WHOA what happened us? You know, by the way, you
Speaker 1: have a target on Conan's back here. I only use
Speaker 1: Conan because off top my head, I couldn't think of
Speaker 1: anybody else. And you and I have joked about Conans
Speaker 1: and it's up down again and again. I love Conan.
Speaker 1: I do Team Coco love him. So I said, you know,
Speaker 1: I said, I mentioned some other people, right, And I said,
Speaker 1: how do we break into that that world? I said,
Speaker 1: you can't get nominate in the comedy division anymore? So
Speaker 1: space crowded space? He said, crowded space? I say no.
Speaker 1: But if the same two or three people make it
Speaker 1: out of the five nominees every year, it kind of
Speaker 1: narrows it down. I said, So here's my idea, all right,
Speaker 1: I said, you tell you what you think scary slices.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think. I said, why
Speaker 1: don't you have either one category or a couple of
Speaker 1: categories for employees of I Heart Radio Common Division, or
Speaker 1: just best podcast by an on air talent at I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. That's a great category, so I said, you
Speaker 1: know it's Austin Tanya rad and serial Killers and you
Speaker 1: know the people that have that that work in Heart
Speaker 1: and Soul ten fifteen, twenty years and there doing podcasts
Speaker 1: for I Heart Radio, not celebrities who sold their podcast over.
Speaker 1: He said, that's not a bad idea. So I said,
Speaker 1: not a bad idea, Like, huh, well, not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Like in the next meeting, you're gonna bring it up
Speaker 1: to you know who and you know who? He does. No, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention it. That's an excellent idea. I said, No, listen,
Speaker 1: if you have that category, we still dominated first year.
Speaker 1: Come on, you know, I'm not saying we need to win,
Speaker 1: but we need to be nominated. So he liked that idea.
Speaker 1: I said, Look, it can be one of those category
Speaker 1: when you watch the Oscars and they go it's the
Speaker 1: ones that they give off camera. The award for Best
Speaker 1: Editing and Best key Grip were given off air before
Speaker 1: the show. A full list available at Academy Awards doctry.
Speaker 1: We don't need the limelight. We don't have to be
Speaker 1: prime time since to send us the trophies. You you
Speaker 1: could do it all fair. You don't have to like
Speaker 1: take up valuable time from celebrities like I don't know
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien and he's like, no, I get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah like that. I like that. So it sounds like
Speaker 1: it was a fruitful conversation. It places. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we didn't get ourselves on the
Speaker 1: big Will Ferrell Comedy network. No we did not. But
Speaker 1: here's what I'm thinking. Here's what I'm thinking. Maybe the
Speaker 1: big guy and the big comedy guy that I haven't
Speaker 1: mentioned his name, maybe I say to his people, you
Speaker 1: know you want to you want to get in touch
Speaker 1: with the big shots. At my heart got to the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys podcast first, you know, like, you want to go.
Speaker 1: You want to get backstage to me Motley Crewe, you
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta give a handy to the to the
Speaker 1: stage hand How that works. The guitar tech has to
Speaker 1: That's how you got back there so much. That's how
Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, the guitar tech needs reach around. Can
Speaker 1: I tell you I never got backstage before I worked
Speaker 1: in radio that I can remember ever, like getting backstage
Speaker 1: and meeting anyone like and we know when we know
Speaker 1: and listen. You know this has been documented in Elvis's
Speaker 1: book Elvis, Yes, Elvis Durrand, he's got a book. Uh
Speaker 1: that backstage is nothing special, No great shakes, the bawtry, yeah,
Speaker 1: the sex, the craziness. You know, it's a very technical place.
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot going on as wires being moved,
Speaker 1: as big truck. It's not it's not no, it's not fun.
Speaker 1: It's it's a bunch of ugly big guys going. You
Speaker 1: can't go back down. Ye can't go back down Union guys.
Speaker 1: And now you know they do the COVID thing. At
Speaker 1: least I don't know about today, but until last week,
Speaker 1: I forget it. You have to Yeah, Black K and
Speaker 1: nine mask at all times back and they don't let you,
Speaker 1: they don't, but they don't like, Yeah, COVID can't go back.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I just want to say, I know, not
Speaker 1: not meeting anybody. I'm not gonna do it. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: you can hear a pin drop back there. Backstage is
Speaker 1: changed forever. Speaking of backstage, and I know you have
Speaker 1: to take a break. You know, Deaf Leppard is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite bands. I know that there were bigger
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties, but they's they still they still tour
Speaker 1: well in the In the eighties they did a concert
Speaker 1: in the round, so they put the big stage in
Speaker 1: the middle of the arena and the and it was
Speaker 1: on a turntable so it rotated slowly, so wherever you
Speaker 1: were sitting, eventually you faced the band well years and
Speaker 1: years later. So during the show, like during the guitar solo, right,
Speaker 1: everyone else would go off stage. The drum solo, everyone
Speaker 1: goes off stage. Bread they do an acoustic set, one
Speaker 1: of the guitar players might go for a break. In
Speaker 1: a book that I read and some interviews, they were
Speaker 1: going under the stage and having sex with people and
Speaker 1: then going back on stage. So having sex between songs
Speaker 1: and during guitar solos and drum solos under the stage,
Speaker 1: under the stage. So what do they have like groupies
Speaker 1: like waiting to go that they were pulled. So so
Speaker 1: what they do all the big I don't look, I'm
Speaker 1: not like, I don't think Harry Styles does this, but
Speaker 1: like David Lee rolls from Van Halen Kiss some of
Speaker 1: the day, this day would be known for this. They
Speaker 1: would point to people or they would like they would
Speaker 1: like in their era, they go to the guitar text
Speaker 1: the roadies and go three four row three seed fourteen,
Speaker 1: or they go third row blonde with the blue tank top.
Speaker 1: And then they would approach them in the crowd and go,
Speaker 1: you want to go backstage and met kiss and they
Speaker 1: oh my god, kiss this this that's right. But but
Speaker 1: you didn't always get right to the band. And a
Speaker 1: lot of like women who've written groupie books will tell
Speaker 1: you this, You had to work your way back to
Speaker 1: the band. By the time you got to Tommy Lee
Speaker 1: and Nikki six, you did. Nicky won two, three, four
Speaker 1: and five, Right, so that's the best. Oh, like you'll
Speaker 1: imagine like you like again, But then again, I don't
Speaker 1: want to be Nicki six at that point yourself. Nicky
Speaker 1: six was the dirtiest at the time. Like he wrote
Speaker 1: a book. He wrote in his book, um how he
Speaker 1: had sex with like eight or nine women in his
Speaker 1: span of like two days and didn't shower between any
Speaker 1: of them. Like he just kept right, he just kept like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's just come on, man, off my dinner. Yeah, that's nasty.
Speaker 1: Think about that they'll think about that still thinking about it, Well,
Speaker 1: think about this. Let's let who Let's say you're at
Speaker 1: the Victoria's Secret Runway show. I've been, You've been, right,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great experience. Right, But let's say
Speaker 1: one of the runway models. Let's say Kate Upton. Because
Speaker 1: I can't think of anyone's off top of my head
Speaker 1: right now, but let's say Kate Upton. Let's say you're
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Kate Upton and she singles you
Speaker 1: out in the crowd. It's like before she married Orlando,
Speaker 1: She's like, I want that guy in the in the
Speaker 1: met shirt right, the deaf leopard shirt pointing to me,
Speaker 1: But you have to sleep with or do stuff with
Speaker 1: like four or five, not Kate. I'm not to get Yeah,
Speaker 1: first of all, it's harder for men to like go
Speaker 1: through the right. But by the that will that's a
Speaker 1: reverse fantasy that only happens in porn. That will not happen. Right,
Speaker 1: Kate Upton is not singling me out, hey the door
Speaker 1: in the met hat and the deaf leopard shirt. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like the tables are turned. Guys will be
Speaker 1: like yeah, whatever, Yeah, but I know all this stuff happened.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I, did you ever read Tommy
Speaker 1: Lee's book, Uh, the original book that I read the
Speaker 1: first chapter two because I met him. I read order
Speaker 1: that's wild that Tommy Land. Yes, Tommy, I have toime.
Speaker 1: I have a copy of it. It's a wild book.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Nikki's book to Nikki's book is unbelievable. Thing
Speaker 1: is the way the way that I I could see
Speaker 1: it though, and it's like this will this would never
Speaker 1: go on now. First of all, because of social media,
Speaker 1: the advancements in technology. There's cameras. You don't think it,
Speaker 1: don't think cameras everywhere. Think about this for a second.
Speaker 1: But no, if they don't take your phone. A lot
Speaker 1: of conscious they don't take your phone, but not necessarily. No,
Speaker 1: they don't. Not a crow and you're taking the girl's phone.
Speaker 1: And if they're gonna do some ship, what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is that it's just so harder to do now because
Speaker 1: or and everyone just comes on. Everyone's got their own
Speaker 1: amplification system, their own platform. They can just put everything
Speaker 1: on social media and just start like throwing stuff out there.
Speaker 1: They start tweeting about things, even if they don't have
Speaker 1: pictures to prove it, you know. But now that this
Speaker 1: has all been ruined, Oh yeah, I have like a
Speaker 1: secret thing. No, it's all gone, it's over. I mean
Speaker 1: look at even look at Derek g Eater. I mean
Speaker 1: he used to take their phone from them when they
Speaker 1: but accounts are out there, all the accounts are out
Speaker 1: there of how he used to send them home with
Speaker 1: a prize pack where presence, here's an autograph baseball. Didn't
Speaker 1: you give like a basket of apples something something silly
Speaker 1: he gave. Here's at every departing contestant may receive. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like nobody talked about like nobody nobody tweeted like
Speaker 1: hey I just left. But even though even though even
Speaker 1: though that that, they don't have pictures things to prove it,
Speaker 1: and he might have taken their you know, taking precautions,
Speaker 1: they don't. They still have the stories that are out
Speaker 1: there that are all over the internet. So thee with
Speaker 1: but those stories there you could go online and google
Speaker 1: it on Reddit, it's all over. It's on you know Twitter,
Speaker 1: you know, you could find his stuff this and I
Speaker 1: couldn't have a date like in this. We couldn't never
Speaker 1: like go out and start dating again, because whatever you
Speaker 1: did like the person you were dating, unless they were
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope they're classy, but you don't think
Speaker 1: they're gonna go oh, I went to dinner, were brody?
Speaker 1: Everything's true, he got free dessert, or he's bad and bed.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't doubt they would ever say that.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, but you can't. I understand, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta be very careful. But but now I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think if if Motley Crewe poison all the bon Jovi,
Speaker 1: all these bands were around today, in the current state
Speaker 1: of social media and technology, I think Brett Michaels is
Speaker 1: still a madman at show? Would they even would they still?
Speaker 1: Would they still be doing what they what they did?
Speaker 1: But I don't think they'd be like they would be
Speaker 1: able to get away with it, you know, putting a
Speaker 1: train on people. I don't, you know, running a train.
Speaker 1: I don't think no no, because no no. But listen,
Speaker 1: if you've done a train with with Brett Michaels, I
Speaker 1: feel free to tweets. I'd like to hear if anyone
Speaker 1: slept with a celebrity and that's listening to this podcast,

Speaker 1: So we were backstage at Jingle Bawl, my wife and
Speaker 1: my three kids at the time, maybe my kids were ten,
Speaker 1: twelve and fourteen, maybe somewhere around there. Whenever she was
Speaker 1: like a jingle Bowl and she used to wear the
Speaker 1: fur coat, and she was to the right and by
Speaker 1: the way right there. It was like, I think it
Speaker 1: was two thousand and right before TikTok on the TikTok
Speaker 1: on the Clock, Blay. It was like she was a
Speaker 1: singer backup me. This was two thousand nine whenever. She
Speaker 1: had just so she had been on our show that
Speaker 1: morning and Jingle Bowl was that night. So my kids
Speaker 1: were maybe not ten, ten, eight six something like that. Right,
Speaker 1: we're in the hallway and they're like clear the hall.
Speaker 1: Someone famous come by and it's Kesha and she's got
Speaker 1: a bottle of Jack Daniels in her hand the right
Speaker 1: of the song. I guess she was like going to
Speaker 1: use it on stage, like as a prop for the song.
Speaker 1: And she had the fur coat on that she wore everywhere.
Speaker 1: And she sees me, and she had only seen me
Speaker 1: like five hours earlier, seven hours earlier, right whatever, on
Speaker 1: the right show, and she goes hey, and she runs
Speaker 1: up to me, right in front of my family and
Speaker 1: gives me this massive hug, puts her head next to
Speaker 1: my head and she's squeezing me, and I'm like, my
Speaker 1: hands are out behind her, like so that my family
Speaker 1: can see that I'm not hugging her back. And then
Speaker 1: she was like, ah, as I have a great show.
Speaker 1: And my kids looked at me. I thought, like, that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Cash she hugged me. They looked at me
Speaker 1: like you did that in front of your our mom?
Speaker 1: How could you do that? And I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't she come up to me. She
Speaker 1: came up to me. They're like, okay, they're accusing. You know.
Speaker 1: They just gave me the look like I was like
Speaker 1: I didn't. No hands, no hands, no big yeah. So
Speaker 1: I got I got a little bit in trouble from Kesher.
Speaker 1: But in my mind I was going but but I
Speaker 1: had that look on my face, like me and my
Speaker 1: family was not very happy with that. We both have
Speaker 1: Kesher stories. Yeah, I know. And I want to give
Speaker 1: a shout out to one listener because we're talking about
Speaker 1: sex and it reminded me. I want to congratulate Paul
Speaker 1: Hill with a lot of numbers. After at Paul Hill
Speaker 1: a lot of numbers. He was banned from Twitter indefinitely.
Speaker 1: By the way, my Instagram, I still can't post. It's
Speaker 1: going on two weeks. So I said, he goes, I'm back, baby,
Speaker 1: I said, back from where he goes, I had a
Speaker 1: lifetime band. Oh what did you do? So he said, well,
Speaker 1: I made a comment about a certain female politician using
Speaker 1: a pine cone dildo and apparent only that's inappropriate. What Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he tweeted at the female politician and I guess they
Speaker 1: reported him or people reported him, like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: why don't you go to shove a pine cone or whatever.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about my buddy who's banned for life,
Speaker 1: My buddy Falco who's banned for life from Uber Falco,
Speaker 1: the singer No Anthony Falco. Oh, Anthony Falco, all right,
Speaker 1: well tell me in a minute podcast. I mean, I
Speaker 1: tell you Falco story. I mean we could save it,
Speaker 1: but no, no, because I have I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: what I have. I have a dilemma I need your
Speaker 1: opinion on. So please tell me a Falco story. Okay,
Speaker 1: and then we'll do the dilemma and then we were done. Um. So,
Speaker 1: so here's here's the thing, and this is this is
Speaker 1: something I don't know what you would do. Okay, the
Speaker 1: less expensive Okay, Falco, Falco and my boys, we're all
Speaker 1: we're all friends. Okay. One of our friends gets very
Speaker 1: belligerent when he's drunk, very belligerent. But but he was
Speaker 1: at the bar and it was time for him to go.
Speaker 1: So Falco, for whatever reason, calls my friend the uber
Speaker 1: on Falco's phone. This is why, By the way, you
Speaker 1: don't call uber for someone else. Going go ahead, So
Speaker 1: so so my the guy who's our friend, our other
Speaker 1: friend who got drunk, gets into the cab and and
Speaker 1: and Falco helps him into the cab. Boom done, you're in.
Speaker 1: See you later, go home. Here's the address. It's on
Speaker 1: me about maybe about forty five minutes later stars that's
Speaker 1: my guests. Later, the Uber driver comes back into the
Speaker 1: Buber driver comes into the bar and he's like, hey, yo,
Speaker 1: what's up. And then my buddy goes, O, can I
Speaker 1: help you? He goes, yeah, I'm the Uber driver. He goes,
Speaker 1: your friends. Your friends a fucking asshole. He started getting
Speaker 1: into a fight with me in the cook cab about
Speaker 1: something irrational. It made no sense, and this and that,
Speaker 1: and you know, he fucking tried to choke me. It's
Speaker 1: all on camera and my body. You know. My buddy
Speaker 1: was apologetic. Of course, he's like, what, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about it. So finally he's like, look,
Speaker 1: because I'm so sorry. He might I think Falcon might
Speaker 1: tipped them off. Give him a tip. Whatever done? Goodbye. Uh.
Speaker 1: Fast forward a week later, when Falco tries to open
Speaker 1: the uber app and use it for himself. You've been
Speaker 1: permanently banned, apparently, the uber driver reported. And again I
Speaker 1: don't know the circumstances of what this belligerent, drunk friend
Speaker 1: of ours did and how he got into a fight
Speaker 1: or why, but the point of the matter is he
Speaker 1: raised his fists or right to choke out The Uber
Speaker 1: driver on Falco's dime on his watch get a bad
Speaker 1: rating for it, so no, we right, he he doesn't
Speaker 1: suffer any consequence whatsoever Falco does because Falco, Right, that's
Speaker 1: like me going into like a casino and saying like
Speaker 1: and blowing up the place like, and I go, I'm
Speaker 1: scary Jones. Apparently it's been fucking three years now. This happened.
Speaker 1: This came up in Columbia when we tried to get
Speaker 1: an Uber. I'm like, Falco, what you want to go?
Speaker 1: I don't have It's a long story. I don't have Uber.
Speaker 1: But three years now and for life, he's banned. He
Speaker 1: can't get on Uber. He cannot. He opens the app
Speaker 1: and as soon as the app it's just so, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: she'd registered with another number, is do something? It apparently
Speaker 1: recognizes his phone number, and for as long as the
Speaker 1: phone number is there, he cannot register, reregister for feel
Speaker 1: like he's he tried, he's contact he's written letters, he's
Speaker 1: emailed Uber call me happen better? Get brody beat, isn't it?
Speaker 1: But isn't that kind of It's weirdly funny but not.
Speaker 1: But it's like when you're when somebody else's it's fucking you.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like being in a bar with your
Speaker 1: girlfriend and then you know a guy is like leering
Speaker 1: and your girls, what are you looking at? Right? Then?
Speaker 1: And then and then and then she runs out of
Speaker 1: the bar and he wins the check and you gotta
Speaker 1: cash it and then the guy starts pummeling you right
Speaker 1: because you're you're attached to that ship. Yeah, like later
Speaker 1: a second, I don't want to be part of the stink.
Speaker 1: I didn't take the dump she did. This uber driver
Speaker 1: was so mad at Falco that he's so bad. The
Speaker 1: guy well, well he get no way of and I
Speaker 1: think he left him. Falco put him in the car.
Speaker 1: I even think my buddy got left in the street.
Speaker 1: I think he had to find his way home. Whatever happened,
Speaker 1: it was all funked up. Everyone was Falco. I mean,
Speaker 1: your your buddy, the belligerent guy. He can he can
Speaker 1: ride in neber anything of me once Bliah carp Blaunch
Speaker 1: carp launch. Okay, So speaking of cars and that slices,
Speaker 1: I need I need your feedback on this as well.
Speaker 1: So I belong to um, an app that specializes in neighborhoods. Okay,
Speaker 1: not Facebook, it's an app that, oh what's it called?
Speaker 1: Because I think I was trying to figure this one out?
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to say it? No? Maybe I want
Speaker 1: to say because I okay, let's forget to forget it
Speaker 1: google Apse. It's it's one of the many apps where
Speaker 1: you can find out the happenings of your neighbor. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: So this person writes, Hey, heads up, my car was
Speaker 1: stolen off the driveway last night. There might be a
Speaker 1: car thief out there. Mm hmm. So I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, somebody, you know, because I have a car
Speaker 1: on the driveway. You know, I have three cars, so
Speaker 1: one's on the driveway. So I'm like, you know, is
Speaker 1: this a rash? Is this is something that's going on?
Speaker 1: And they breaking windows and somebody goes, did they break
Speaker 1: your window? And somebody goes, did they jimmy the door?
Speaker 1: You know, like did they hot wire the car? What
Speaker 1: kind of they're tips right now? People are people are
Speaker 1: asking like what happened because they're like they want to
Speaker 1: know if it's like some high school kid or like
Speaker 1: a professional car ring, right like what level of like
Speaker 1: did they tow it? How did they get the car?
Speaker 1: She says, no, we accidentally left the key fab. She says,
Speaker 1: f A F A B. It's fob. She's about fab.
Speaker 1: We left the key fab in the car. So they
Speaker 1: just opened the door. Because key fobs, like in my
Speaker 1: car the charger, if you put the key in the car,
Speaker 1: like leaving in the car the door. So if you
Speaker 1: leave the key in the fob on this, she goes,
Speaker 1: we left it in the armrest. We've got to take
Speaker 1: it in. So people were like, how stupid are you?
Speaker 1: They were attacking her right and something. So there's always like,
Speaker 1: don't blame the victim, no, no, oh, no, you blame
Speaker 1: the victim. Victim blaming you. If you're on the subway
Speaker 1: sometimes and you have to take someone's hand and put
Speaker 1: it in your purse and put their hand on your
Speaker 1: wallet and they run away, I'm blaming the victim. If
Speaker 1: you leave your key, yes, they shouldn't have stolen the car.
Speaker 1: But if you leave the fob in the car, you're
Speaker 1: gonna see the buttons on the doors are up when
Speaker 1: you're walking down the block looking for cars to rob.
Speaker 1: So so my thought was, you didn't have your car stolen.
Speaker 1: You gave that ship away. Am I wrong? Yeah? You're wrong.
Speaker 1: Come okay, and now you're taking such obviously stolen. But
Speaker 1: but you can't go on and like say, like, oh,
Speaker 1: everybody be careful as car thieves out in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: When nobody else has their car stolen and you left
Speaker 1: your key fob in the car, right, shame on you,
Speaker 1: Shame on her. I said, who you think is gonna
Speaker 1: take getting a car safe flight when you key in
Speaker 1: the car? Yeah? Remember that commercial we played, just played
Speaker 1: a key on the dash and we'll come there while
Speaker 1: you're at work and no do that? Yeah? Same right,
Speaker 1: wants you to do that? Well you know yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah I will, I'll say that, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: and again I I just don't. I really, I really
Speaker 1: feel that people have to be held accountable, and we
Speaker 1: don't do that anymore in society. More and more times
Speaker 1: we're blaming others for things that we funked up on
Speaker 1: our own. They listen, there's plenty of blame to go
Speaker 1: around on the criminals. Bad person, don't get That's what
Speaker 1: I was getting at. There are times when things obviously
Speaker 1: belong you know, but if you put iPhone in his
Speaker 1: back pockets, scary, that's well that that's exactly it. We
Speaker 1: we we turned to him, like, you idiot, why did
Speaker 1: you leave you this last week's episode in case you
Speaker 1: didn't hear, didn't deserve it, but he sort of deserved it.
Speaker 1: He's kind of it's it's almost like it's almost like
Speaker 1: he allowed it to happen because he didn't take did
Speaker 1: not write. So even though you know, you blame the thieves,
Speaker 1: and the thieves are bad, and these kids pop the
Speaker 1: thing out of his back pocket. We warned him. We
Speaker 1: warned everyone, no jewelry and put everything in your front pocket.
Speaker 1: We're about to walk we're about to walk out into
Speaker 1: the street into in Cartagena, and we're about to cut
Speaker 1: the hand han't and to let people out there that
Speaker 1: are needy and less fortunate, and they're they're gonna try
Speaker 1: and pickpocket you into it. He ran into a pip.
Speaker 1: He went right into a but so everything comes full
Speaker 1: circle at this podcast. Doesn't try and and and and
Speaker 1: and they stole his phone. In that case, we said,
Speaker 1: you dummy, And you know what, he himself also blamed himself.
Speaker 1: He said, you know, well, I'm idiot. This person who
Speaker 1: lost that car would not admit it was their fault.
Speaker 1: It was their fault completely entirely. That no blame. No, listen,
Speaker 1: it's not their fault, but they have partial blame, even
Speaker 1: if it's you let it and it's fob, the A
Speaker 1: and they all with no one near each other on
Speaker 1: the on the phone, they're not on the keyboard, the
Speaker 1: source not a spell. No, it wasn't. It wasn't fab
Speaker 1: They stole your car, but you left the fob in there.
Speaker 1: And uh oh before we go, I grammar police someone
Speaker 1: today awesome and we have to play a piece of sound.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I'll come back with the sound. Okay, god no, no,
Speaker 1: no with commercials. Okay. So I took a picture. I
Speaker 1: wanna uh, I wanna know, pull up the picture. I
Speaker 1: was in the watch store near my house, right and
Speaker 1: they had a sign up that said water resistant test.
Speaker 1: We offer precious ceiling at an additional cost and recommend
Speaker 1: it with every battery change. So we will precious seal
Speaker 1: your watch right, your your correct your your watches. Water
Speaker 1: resistance is not guaranteed without it, they wrote watches W
Speaker 1: A T C h E S. Your watches water resistance
Speaker 1: is not guaranteed. So there's no possessive comma. It needs
Speaker 1: to be. It needs to be the watch apostrophe, watch
Speaker 1: watches apostrophe. So the signs right, it's taped. Its taped
Speaker 1: to the to the counter. So there's a bucket of
Speaker 1: pens right there by the register. So I grab a
Speaker 1: pen and don't do anything. And the woman comes over
Speaker 1: to help me, and i'm I'm getting a ring clean,
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna even wrinkle. And I said, let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, and there's an older woman
Speaker 1: behind me on online. I said, listen, I feel terribly
Speaker 1: even asking this, but if I worked to make a
Speaker 1: grammatical change on your sign, would you be annoyed by me?
Speaker 1: Would you appreciate it? She was, oh god, I hate
Speaker 1: that they speall everything wrong. Would you please make the change?
Speaker 1: Take a pen, make the change. I said, okay, so
Speaker 1: I put the apostrophe there, and she says, oh, I
Speaker 1: didn't even notice that. That's terrible. Thank you for doing that.
Speaker 1: And the woman behind me, the older woman, says, excuse me, sir.
Speaker 1: I said, yes, I just want you to know I'm
Speaker 1: a college English professor. Oh, here we go shows, and
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, thank you for doing that. And I
Speaker 1: was I said, I said, can you verify that I
Speaker 1: was right. She goes, oh, you're absolutely right. It's possessive.
Speaker 1: It says your watches. She said, you can make it
Speaker 1: plural because I said, I said, I can make it plural,
Speaker 1: because I could bring in two watches, and she goes
Speaker 1: and shows or multiple people could bring in a watch,
Speaker 1: and then it's a sign for everybody. But there's no apostrophe.
Speaker 1: So I put the apostrophe there. I've made the world
Speaker 1: a better place. Thank you. That was nice. I like that. Now,
Speaker 1: what was a piece of sound and that we played
Speaker 1: the Shopify sound two weeks ago? Now, hold on, we
Speaker 1: were prepared for this one. I told you last week
Speaker 1: we're gonna play it. We didn't play it. Yes, I
Speaker 1: got it, got it. So I made fun of the girl.
Speaker 1: I said, the acting was terrible. She sounded like a
Speaker 1: four year old woman trying to sound like she was seventeen. Yes,
Speaker 1: I heard the commercial two more times this week. And
Speaker 1: that's something else I want to point out there. I
Speaker 1: know you're trying to make it sound like the woman
Speaker 1: is typing, but listen to the woman typing three shopify sales?
Speaker 1: How where are you selling three hundred parents of tap shoes?
Speaker 1: Mom with our Shopify store. We can connect and sell
Speaker 1: everywhere Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, you name it. You did all that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I customized our store exactly the way I wanted and
Speaker 1: it was so easy. Stop. By the way, that the
Speaker 1: worst typing, yeah, and and and no one types like that.
Speaker 1: And by the way, she she struck about four keys
Speaker 1: on the first one, about seven on the second time,
Speaker 1: so didn't even get a word out. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: just want to say, not only was it a band
Speaker 1: commercial and the daughter is terrible and the commercial makes
Speaker 1: no sense, but even the typing is ridiculous. So what
Speaker 1: a piece of ship commercial? God damn it. You know
Speaker 1: we should hire them to do uh Brooklyn Boys team songs?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Just a lot of clicks, a
Speaker 1: lot of man Brook Boys, brook Brook Boys Rock
