Speaker 1: Start uf dot up, start up. Brooklyn Boys start up,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys start dat up. They're making noise data dot
Speaker 1: up Episode one sixty six. I was, I was, I
Speaker 1: was talking along with them. That was you. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: felt like I was playing along, like I felt like
Speaker 1: the listeners who know what's coming. So I sort of
Speaker 1: I was trying to match. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: bad echo. I'm like, oh, no, we're not starting out
Speaker 1: like this, are we. It's all good. No, I was
Speaker 1: trying to time it out the way you say it
Speaker 1: because you have a certain cadence. Episode one sixty six,
Speaker 1: Where are the Brooklyn bus? I was, I was excited, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not excited. I felt like a listener right there for
Speaker 1: a second. Do you think people actually do they do?
Speaker 1: People repeat it in their cars or wherever they're listening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: listen when when uh, when you listen to something every
Speaker 1: day or every week or whatever it is, you anticipated
Speaker 1: get the kid. Yeah, it's like many men, many many
Speaker 1: years ago. Um the Elvis story in Morning Show used
Speaker 1: to have sponsors. At the end of the show, Danielle
Speaker 1: would read a list of sponsors and thank you's right,
Speaker 1: and one of them was perk Roma Coffee and water Service.
Speaker 1: So I would say I would like in my head
Speaker 1: here hers saying it. As she's saying it, I was ready,
Speaker 1: and we also want to thank perk Roma Coffee and
Speaker 1: water Service. So you you get that in your head,
Speaker 1: like you know when everyone else piece out everybody. You know,
Speaker 1: people at home are go and piece out everybody because
Speaker 1: it's it's ingrained in your head. At first, I got
Speaker 1: scared because I thought that was more gonna be there's
Speaker 1: gonna be technical problems up ahead. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I fixed everything. It's well not me. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not very handy around the Uh. Yeah, if this is
Speaker 1: your first episode, because we know you listen in order. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course your first episode. Scary has a three point
Speaker 1: nine million dollar I love how price goes up every
Speaker 1: time we talk about it. Four point two anyway, his
Speaker 1: microphone boom arm. Last week, I was in a ship mood.
Speaker 1: Yeah you are, And at tweets, I got some tweets
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I got no no, no people people people.
Speaker 1: Uh they wrote to me about it, and that's fine. Listen, listen.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, everybody where the thing
Speaker 1: about us is we're not fucking frauds. We we we
Speaker 1: wear our emotions on our sleeve. If we're having a
Speaker 1: shitty day, we're having a crappy day. And we're entitled
Speaker 1: to that, aren't we. I mean, we are human, right,
Speaker 1: speaking of being fucking frauds, uh scary and I had
Speaker 1: two big conference calls today. One was with some big
Speaker 1: muckety MUCKs and one was with the uh, the gentleman
Speaker 1: who works for the company that makes our merchandise. I'll
Speaker 1: talk about that in a minute, but we were on
Speaker 1: the call at the big muckety MUCKs today and they
Speaker 1: told us that it's possible some sponsors may not want
Speaker 1: to sponsor our podcast because of the adult content. And
Speaker 1: we already cursed three times in the first five minutes,
Speaker 1: so I could see why. I said, no, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: do you mean the cursing or scary trying to ask
Speaker 1: his own day? And he said kind of both, now
Speaker 1: that you mentioned it. Haven The thing is, we can't okay,
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna bend. Well, I may try and bend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you've known that. Yeah, but so right, we
Speaker 1: said right away, well, we don't want those pots. That's
Speaker 1: off the table, right. We we don't want we don't
Speaker 1: want to conform to and try and like water down
Speaker 1: the podcast. We're always going to be who we are
Speaker 1: here for the slices you sor I'm going to change
Speaker 1: the show and make more money. About the money, clearly,
Speaker 1: clearly not about the money. We ain't making a dime
Speaker 1: off this thing. But but I'll say this, last week,
Speaker 1: I was I was bent, and I was letting it
Speaker 1: show and I almost wanted so so at one point
Speaker 1: I wanted to hit the stop button and said, you
Speaker 1: know what, Brodie, maybe we should pick this up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I wanted, but I was so
Speaker 1: excited to release an episode in time for Wednesday Night
Speaker 1: because I know people are starting They've come to expect
Speaker 1: that Wednesday Night drop that dump. You know people to
Speaker 1: the photo dumps on on Instagram. We do the podcast
Speaker 1: dump on Wednesday nights. We are putting out an episode
Speaker 1: every week. So maybe backfired on us. Well there it did,
Speaker 1: because because I was holding the microphone in my hand
Speaker 1: at that point, and I know I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: on and on about this, but I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: one thing. Yeah, it affected me for the rest of
Speaker 1: the show. And but the next day I got my
Speaker 1: handymen up here, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and um, they drilled a hole using their you know
Speaker 1: which one of which one which is their tools? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yea. And they they literally made
Speaker 1: a permanent clamp to my to my my my microphone.
Speaker 1: So now I will not have any microphone boom problems.
Speaker 1: All right. So I'm still here in the basement with
Speaker 1: the folding table and the arm that I attached to it.
Speaker 1: No problems, problems, but the kee to the basement. I
Speaker 1: want you to hear something. Ready, Listen carefully. Do you
Speaker 1: hear that? I didn't hear anything. Listen again, ready, once again,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything. Okay, that was me banging on
Speaker 1: the washing machine that isn't here anymore. It's gone. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: thank you, it's gone. So now you just have to
Speaker 1: deal with the floaters flying by your head because you
Speaker 1: have toilet pipes going right above you. I do not
Speaker 1: The toilet pipes are behind me and about ten feet
Speaker 1: to the left, six feetback. They're not behind me. Brody's
Speaker 1: in a basement and and he literally can reach up
Speaker 1: at the pipes, and those pipes transport shit water. No,
Speaker 1: I don't anytime someone in is there is a sectioned
Speaker 1: off part of the basement, and we have we have
Speaker 1: a wall, and around the wall in the back corner
Speaker 1: is a pipe that leads from the top floor down
Speaker 1: to the underneath the house. The thing is one of
Speaker 1: your daughters takes a dump, flushes the ball, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you fly above his head. My daughters
Speaker 1: don't take dumps, They take little feminine pooss. Second of all,
Speaker 1: you live in an apartment, Bill, I just love the
Speaker 1: visual of ships. Face. No not, you know not about that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, there's no there's no visual. There's no
Speaker 1: you're fixing you know what. It's again, it's in the
Speaker 1: back corner, behind a wall. But more importantly, you live
Speaker 1: in a arment building. So those pipes have pooh and
Speaker 1: them from people you don't even know, flying down your
Speaker 1: walls every day. Every day you're wantin that other people.
Speaker 1: You're down with people's poo. It's flying down You're down
Speaker 1: with pepe. Yeah, you know scary. It's going right by
Speaker 1: your kitchen possibly and your bathroom, because you know, not
Speaker 1: every apartment is the same. Right the way next to
Speaker 1: you might have the bathroom on a different wall. You
Speaker 1: might have poop on your on your bathroom wall, your
Speaker 1: living room wall. I gotta get out of there. You
Speaker 1: got poop wall. I think about this if you're if
Speaker 1: you're a plump what Oasis poop poop walls? That was
Speaker 1: Oasis sugar walls. That was Easton Okay, wonder waller. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So you know, um, it reminds me that I never
Speaker 1: want to be a plumber because I feel like they
Speaker 1: see the most ungodly, unsightly, disgusting things on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: I know we have plumbers that are slices, but I
Speaker 1: can imagine I would love to talk to a plumber
Speaker 1: just to see some of that. I would imagine you
Speaker 1: get used to it. No different than a guy. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, no offense. I wasn't what I was saying.
Speaker 1: I wasn't compared to to what I'm saying. You get
Speaker 1: used to whatever you're seeing, that's all. Imagine you walk
Speaker 1: into somebody's bathroom to go fix the pipes or whatever
Speaker 1: or toilet, and you sit on the floor and it's
Speaker 1: like piss everywhere stuff. Scott, I don't think you sit
Speaker 1: on the floor, but yes, listen, I've been in hotels
Speaker 1: where I clogged the toilet, I'll go use the toilet
Speaker 1: in the lobby. I won't call anybody to the room
Speaker 1: telling out because I don't want everyone to come into
Speaker 1: the room. It depends how many days. If it's like
Speaker 1: a day, I'll leave it with the lid down. If
Speaker 1: it's like three days or more, then I gotta Then
Speaker 1: I then what I do is I just go you
Speaker 1: know it was it was clogged before. I don't know
Speaker 1: what this is. I just haven't even used the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I for the first time. It's crazy. I'll
Speaker 1: do anything but take the blame for it, so you
Speaker 1: can't you know, you know. Um on the Big Show
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, I told every body that I
Speaker 1: accidentally paid the wrong person in Venmo. Yeah that's some
Speaker 1: dumb ship. Yeah it really is. UM, I didn't check.
Speaker 1: I owed some guy thirty five dollars. My buddy Brian
Speaker 1: Orangetein that's his name, and uh yep, common name by
Speaker 1: the way, when you when you google, when you when
Speaker 1: you could put that in Venmo? What name is not
Speaker 1: common with Brian? Like that thing is he had as
Speaker 1: a couple. He one name had a dash the other
Speaker 1: name didn't be in between the first and last name.
Speaker 1: But no picture. No, that's the thing. He isn't not
Speaker 1: a picture. And I'm like, dude, So I paid the
Speaker 1: wrong guy and now I've been trying to ping him
Speaker 1: or call him or email him whatever. I'm like messaging, dude,
Speaker 1: I gave you thirty five dollars. I gave you. I
Speaker 1: gave the wrong guy. You're the wrong Brian. Now you're
Speaker 1: ignoring me as if to do to do nothing to
Speaker 1: see here, but it's clearly in his Venmo and I
Speaker 1: can't get it back. He can't, by the way, a
Speaker 1: guy who never touches his Venmo, he could be one
Speaker 1: of those guys. Well, the contact Venmo customer service I
Speaker 1: did this is there's nothing they can do. They could
Speaker 1: pay the guy, they must have his contact. Thirty five
Speaker 1: dollars down the drain to the wrong Brian, call a plumber. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: But the thing is the whole what would Brody do
Speaker 1: doesn't apply here because you can't. It's on you. It
Speaker 1: clearly says it like once the money is gone, it's gone,
Speaker 1: And the same thing goes for cash, app and pay Pal.
Speaker 1: By the way, if once you pay somebody that ship's done,
Speaker 1: and and uh, well you pal can help you. I think,
Speaker 1: all right, well then that's the exception. This was Venmo.
Speaker 1: The thing is, what do you do though? I mean,
Speaker 1: at some point you just got a Facebook and Twitter
Speaker 1: and you contact every Brian Ornstein because I'm sorry, Brian
Speaker 1: Ornstein may not be a rare name, but it's not
Speaker 1: like John Smith. There's probably like nine on Twitter, six
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Whatever. I'm sure you could reach out to
Speaker 1: every one of them. Go hey, he's a stupid question,
Speaker 1: but are you Brian dash or they're not going to
Speaker 1: admit even they're gonna admit to it that that I
Speaker 1: got the wrong guy. I don't know what it's weird.
Speaker 1: It could be a good person. If I got the
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars, i'd give it back. If he was
Speaker 1: a great person, he would have sent it back already.
Speaker 1: He has not, and he's not answering. Could be someone
Speaker 1: who doesn't check his Venmo. I know you bet notifications
Speaker 1: his notifications turned off. He's the worst possible scenarios. But whatever, anyway, listen,
Speaker 1: keep thirty five dollars. You know that's like you know
Speaker 1: me and celebrity? Are you celebrity names? Scary Jones on
Speaker 1: the venmo At. Yeah, I'm Scary Jones. All right, all right?
Speaker 1: Its what I'm asking is he maybe he's a fan.
Speaker 1: He oh, he was a fan. He would uh he
Speaker 1: give my money back. Right, you should tell him you're
Speaker 1: famous and you'll send him a Brooklyn Boys shirt. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's a listener of the Brooklyn Boys podcast and he
Speaker 1: hated episode number one sixty five, so he's keeping the money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what I was saying about episode six five, that's
Speaker 1: not actually what I was talking about. We put went
Speaker 1: on vacation a few weeks ago, and we put up
Speaker 1: was an episode one sixty three, which is the recording
Speaker 1: of us doing the stereo app. Yeah, oh I have
Speaker 1: some email about that. Okay, we'll get to that in
Speaker 1: a second, because what was it, Love Love Joy Beauty
Speaker 1: whatever her name was, gave us a bad review, which
Speaker 1: is just just like the new format. Uh So, the week
Speaker 1: we go on vacation and we put up a podcast
Speaker 1: that isn't really miniscent of our show, my Heart decides

Speaker 1: again and one sixty three. There's not much you can
Speaker 1: do this this this this software that can raise the
Speaker 1: volume of one person and lower the other. But if
Speaker 1: the sound quality is ship and you raise it, it's
Speaker 1: gonna sound worse. So you definitely do not want to
Speaker 1: do that, right And and then of course, coming down
Speaker 1: my pipes, show me down, down with opp So sorry
Speaker 1: about that. But yeah, that was the featured podcast that
Speaker 1: week on I Heart Radio for whatever you like. I

Speaker 1: to leave halfway through the broadcast, so I only met
Speaker 1: the half that didn't need to rush back and fix
Speaker 1: the protect. And this was a Connolly's, very famous place
Speaker 1: in midtown Manhattan, right off the parade wrap on Fifth Avenue.
Speaker 1: And I think the second so the second year that
Speaker 1: you did it, I was part of the show guest.
Speaker 1: Now one of the guests, I was stoned out of
Speaker 1: his fucking mind, was hilarious. He was there live with us.
Speaker 1: John Stewart, who, by the way, he's on Twitter now.
Speaker 1: If you're a fan of John Stewart and his politics
Speaker 1: and his humor, he's on Twitter. He's definitely worth a follow.
Speaker 1: He's great. He tweets like once a week, just kind
Speaker 1: of puts it out there when he feels something strong.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't on Twitter for the longest time anyway.
Speaker 1: John Stewart used to be just a very successful comic
Speaker 1: and then he had a couple of shows on MTV
Speaker 1: that didn't really go anywhere. But I was I was
Speaker 1: always a big fan. I went to see him do
Speaker 1: stand up. I actually went to the taping of his
Speaker 1: second episode of his MTV show. The first episode was
Speaker 1: Howard Stern. The second episode, I don't remember who was on,
Speaker 1: but I went and then here he was sitting next
Speaker 1: to me. And and Elvis and Elliott at the time

Speaker 1: really good answer. But that was the truth. I was
Speaker 1: in a comedy group and I just yeah. And his
Speaker 1: response to me was, that's all I want to do.

Speaker 1: And that's why we're here today. Oh what are we
Speaker 1: talking twenty four year twenty three and a half years later. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much so. And by the way, we still have
Speaker 1: technical issues, tychnical issues. Then technical issues doesn't matter, right,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, So I met Elliott that day at
Speaker 1: uh at on St. Patrick's Day. So that's always an
Speaker 1: important day to me. I want my jets jersey so

Speaker 1: we can do we can get we get that going.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so anyway back to the merch store for
Speaker 1: a quick second. Yeah, so there be things. They'll be
Speaker 1: all kinds, some catchphrases and other things. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for that. I don't know which.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, I don't know which
Speaker 1: one I liked. I said to the guy who makes
Speaker 1: the shirts, because I liked them all so much. Um.
Speaker 1: He had intended to like, he's a pitch pick wich.
Speaker 1: One you like, we'll release that shirt. We liked all
Speaker 1: of them. We made some tweaks. I gotta say, we
Speaker 1: made a call it tweaks and sized tweaks whatever as
Speaker 1: far as the logos. But I like them so much.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm probably more excited than anybody because I want
Speaker 1: to buy like one of each shirt because we get
Speaker 1: them at cost. We know, we don't you know, but
Speaker 1: we have to pay for them, um, because we pay
Speaker 1: for the shirts. That's what we need the money. If
Speaker 1: you listen to the the stereo app, so full Circle love
Speaker 1: the shirts. Can't wait to wear them. I'll wear them
Speaker 1: on the fifty minute morning Show, which I've been doing
Speaker 1: promoting representing. But yeah, next week we'll tell you the time.
Speaker 1: We would love for everyone to not be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe what we really need to support because if we
Speaker 1: get enough listeners, we win the prize, the cash prize.
Speaker 1: So now we have two assignments. We have the stereo
Speaker 1: app and then we have the app and buy merch
Speaker 1: when when when it comes out? Not yet. We're doing
Speaker 1: a lot of teasing when you know, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of tickling. I feel like we're tickling everyone's balls here
Speaker 1: and we need to like, I'll dive into some things
Speaker 1: that we really wanted to get to. Well, I want
Speaker 1: to dive into. Uh, I gotta do about something. We
Speaker 1: gotta talk about the bagel. That's big news. So us okay,
Speaker 1: so well hold on, well hold on, that's coming up
Speaker 1: after this. Damn it, time management. My friend the New
Speaker 1: York Times put out an article yesterday, right see the
Speaker 1: yesterday when you hear this. It was within the last
Speaker 1: couple of days entitled the best bagels are in California,
Speaker 1: Sorry New York. Yeah, which, by the way, obviously they
Speaker 1: just like thirsting for for readers at that point. Now
Speaker 1: you don't headline, but hold on, you put a selacious
Speaker 1: headline out like that, you know you're gonna get response. Hey,
Speaker 1: you don't need to be from New York to know
Speaker 1: that is a knife in the heart. That is, that
Speaker 1: is a slap in the face, like if you're if
Speaker 1: you're if you offended someone from old world Italy and
Speaker 1: they took their gloves or the French and they slapped
Speaker 1: you across the face. The Friday was the French. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: the Times would punch you in my neighborhood. That's today.
Speaker 1: That's like telling people from the Midwest they know nothing
Speaker 1: about squeaky cheese. Yeah, this is like, uh, this is
Speaker 1: like Philly cheese teake. Example, if if you if you're
Speaker 1: from Philly and I told you that Omaha, Nebraska had
Speaker 1: better Philly cheese steaks than Philadelphia for people in Philly,
Speaker 1: but like or South Dakota has better lobster than main
Speaker 1: that's a fight. That's a huge fight. There's not even
Speaker 1: an ocean, and so right away, right away the headline
Speaker 1: is picking a fight in my neighborhood. I want to
Speaker 1: read some of the tweets people tweeted at, people posted
Speaker 1: on the instagram. If you have a chance to go
Speaker 1: to the ny Times instagram and it's about probably ten
Speaker 1: posts back by now and look at the best bagel story.
Speaker 1: Here's some of them who wrote this. The l A
Speaker 1: Times grub Street wrote, delete your account. Another one New
Speaker 1: York Times, who are you? Unfollowed a California Bagel wrote this,
Speaker 1: I'm reporting this as a hate crime, ma'am. I live
Speaker 1: in Texas and even I know that's wrong. Unfollowed block. No,
Speaker 1: stop trying to make California bagels happen. It's not going
Speaker 1: to happen. Insert me flipping a table and anger and
Speaker 1: disbelief right here. This is embarrassing. Still time to delete this, sincerely,
Speaker 1: New York resident uh checks to see if it's April first,
Speaker 1: and this person sums it up. I'm glad Anthony Bourdain
Speaker 1: is not alive to read this trash. Here's the thing
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, and I'm just Devil's advocate for
Speaker 1: a quick sipping. You know you need to be on
Speaker 1: this podcast in the past when especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to the subject of pizza, right, and I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna continue on with the hold on. Elvis put me
Speaker 1: on the air this morning and I gave my opinion.
Speaker 1: I should give my opinion before you give yours, because
Speaker 1: people don't know what your opinion is. I said, it's bullshit.
Speaker 1: There may be somebody who steals the New York recipe
Speaker 1: and makes a bagel like a New Yorker. But to
Speaker 1: say California bagels plural are better than we can hear
Speaker 1: in your opinion, in your voice, what your opinions? Bullshit,
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's blasphemy. That's where avocado toast
Speaker 1: eating break. Now that if you did you notice that
Speaker 1: I did not come to your rescue. By the way, yeah,
Speaker 1: did you know? Did you notice everyone on the show?
Speaker 1: Yeall Froggy Gandhi Elvis all like, So I didn't come.
Speaker 1: I did not come to your rescue because I'm true
Speaker 1: to myself and I'm true to how I feel, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this and you're not gonna like it.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a better jagged little pill alanis
Speaker 1: Salifornia bagel. This is gonna be jagged Okay, But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say this. Until you've tasted every bagel in the world,
Speaker 1: you can't you can't make any comparisons. You can't say
Speaker 1: that this is great. This sucks. We've talked about this
Speaker 1: again in regards to pizza on this podcast about have
Speaker 1: an open mind. So what if this one bagel shop
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles makes a really superior bagel. First of all,
Speaker 1: you haven't even tasted that bagel yet, all right, so
Speaker 1: I haven't. I'm I'm damn curious. I want to know
Speaker 1: what it tastes like. Now, they did interview the people
Speaker 1: over there, and this is what they said. And then
Speaker 1: you tried to correct me on the air of this morning.
Speaker 1: But here's why that's not the case. Okay, they said,
Speaker 1: people always say a great bagel is in the water.
Speaker 1: And we know that the New York Brooklyn area water
Speaker 1: that this New Jersey strike state has, well, not New Jersey,
Speaker 1: but has great water. So they say, therefore the dough
Speaker 1: is the better, is is superior? Whatever. However, they didn't
Speaker 1: take into account the baker that baked it. Now, you
Speaker 1: went on the air and said, well, bagels, bagels are
Speaker 1: are putting water. They're boiled, they're boiled, but they're both
Speaker 1: brodie there. The bagel is first boiled and then it's
Speaker 1: coated with sometimes they coated with like an egg white
Speaker 1: or something, and then they bake it. So what is
Speaker 1: this guy has the secret sauce. What if this baker
Speaker 1: or this dude at this Los Angeles bagel shop has
Speaker 1: I mean, who are we? Who are we to criticize
Speaker 1: until we've tasted it. If the article said man strikes
Speaker 1: gold with miracle bagel, unbelievable recipe, it's what that's. Somebody
Speaker 1: article said said California bagels are better than New York.
Speaker 1: Now they're talking about a specific place. Now they mentioned
Speaker 1: a few places in the article, a few places from
Speaker 1: different areas in California. Oh up and comers, this family, this,
Speaker 1: these friends, this couple, They mentioned a lot of them.
Speaker 1: What's the name is podcast? Where we're from? And I
Speaker 1: will be the first person to defend the honor of
Speaker 1: Brooklyn and New York and this state area you're not.
Speaker 1: But first I first need I mean, how are we
Speaker 1: pre judging? I need to taste all these bagels first,
Speaker 1: and then I will judge, and then I'll they'll dump
Speaker 1: on them. But for now I can't do it. I
Speaker 1: would like the slices, because we know our slices live
Speaker 1: all over the country. Do we have any West Coast
Speaker 1: some yes, some of them from other countries. Don't you
Speaker 1: read the tweets? Man? People are in all Yes to
Speaker 1: the West Coast, absolutely Fresno, checking in. Yes, we're in Oregon,
Speaker 1: We're in Portland, We're in California, multiple cities. Here's what
Speaker 1: I would like. Wherever you're from, you know you've got
Speaker 1: something that nobody makes better than your people, than your neighborhood,
Speaker 1: than your state. Don't tell me that. If I want
Speaker 1: the best barbecue in America, I'm going to Delaware. No offense, Delaware.
Speaker 1: But you're not the barbecue capital. You're going to Kansas City.
Speaker 1: You're going to St. Louis, You're going to Carolina, You're
Speaker 1: going to Texas. You're not going You're not going to
Speaker 1: uh Maine for the best barbecue. You're not, like you said,
Speaker 1: you're not going to North to go. There are anomalies,
Speaker 1: there are standouts. See, this is the thing I'm trying
Speaker 1: to help you wrap your head around. If you want
Speaker 1: to tell me that somebody made the best chicken palm
Speaker 1: in Montana, I'm gonna say hard to believe, but not impossible. Okay, Brodie,
Speaker 1: I'll give you example. A bagel is a is a
Speaker 1: thing like it's a it's an institute. It's coming from
Speaker 1: New Yorker's hands and the vibe of New York and
Speaker 1: get it, but Brodie for someone with such an open mind,
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're, it's closed shut this time. Remember we
Speaker 1: went to the Pizza Festival, the New York City Pizza
Speaker 1: Festival was Where was it? It was in the Bronx
Speaker 1: on Arthur Avenue in the Italian section of the Goring
Speaker 1: up a second, Wait a second, don't spoil it. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll kick ahead. Some of the best pizza we had
Speaker 1: was to Way. There were two of them. One of
Speaker 1: them was from a place in Denver that that showed up.
Speaker 1: And what was the place from Las Vegas? A Las Vegas?
Speaker 1: Remember the Las Vegas pizza. We we were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta believe it were good. We had to go
Speaker 1: up and said, wait a second. Your sign says you
Speaker 1: guys are from Las Vegas and you're here this weekend
Speaker 1: fishing out this pizza, which crew Mary. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They weren't regular pizza. The pizza from Denver was catch Peppy,
Speaker 1: which which is salt and pepper. Right, it was salt
Speaker 1: and pepper pizza. It had a unique taste, was very good.
Speaker 1: But if I scare a gun to your head, was
Speaker 1: it better than Defarre's, which was also there, right, So
Speaker 1: go after yourself. That's my point. But what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is until he was great pizza, nobody's better than Defarre's
Speaker 1: for Sicilian oil and B's until we tasted these bagels,
Speaker 1: I can't make a judgment. I can't do it, all right,
Speaker 1: Somebody with money has to fly us out there when
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable down playing. I mean, look at all
Speaker 1: the people that come to the rescue of this Casey's
Speaker 1: gas Station pizza from Iowa that talks about they say
Speaker 1: it's very good, but better than than New York pizza. Well,
Speaker 1: then to them, I fault Here's how I fault them
Speaker 1: that have they tasted New York pizza in order to
Speaker 1: make that call. The it works both ways. You need
Speaker 1: to have you need to have tasted all of it,
Speaker 1: all right, I think we're beating this dead horse, all right.
Speaker 1: Um you guys listeners Slices Babes Babes, slices pals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys remember episode I remember the number forty fifty
Speaker 1: sixty something seventy something. Uh, Scary fell asleep on the
Speaker 1: phone with me and I recorded him and I played

Speaker 1: Prody perks up his ears, perk up money because it
Speaker 1: was coasting. We had to talk about how much money
Speaker 1: we're gonna But in all fairness, Brodie Brody works from
Speaker 1: his basement all morning. I get up at five o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning to get to the radio station. Okay,

Speaker 1: was okay. You also made fun of pyromaniacs. I did,
Speaker 1: but that's okay. I'm I'm fine making By the way,

Speaker 1: whatever it was, So then we can't play Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never seen the time to change. We'll never see

Speaker 1: can't do long meetings. I have to you know, I
Speaker 1: need to take my quick new Hey. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have two sound clips and we were talking about
Speaker 1: Iowa pizza and these say Iowa Pizza on them. Should
Speaker 1: we play these sounds? Okay? So I mean we don't
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of sound. We just have that
Speaker 1: I got a whole lot of sound. All this is
Speaker 1: thank you. This was two clips from Jimmy Fallon this week.
Speaker 1: The first one is to set up to the joke.
Speaker 1: The second one is the punchline. We did this story
Speaker 1: on the Elvis Durand show. But let's have Jimmy tell
Speaker 1: you about it, and then I want everyone's opinion on
Speaker 1: whether would eat this pizza. Play the first clip, and
Speaker 1: finally a restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa has come up
Speaker 1: with a new type of pizza. What's it? And Iowa
Speaker 1: Pizza Rea has decided to put cereal on their pie.
Speaker 1: It's their looting fruit pizza breakfast pie talked with cream, cheese, mozzarella, cheese, vanilla,
Speaker 1: icy and fruit loops. Can I see that just again?
Speaker 1: That's what? Yeah? See, I'm just worried that this will
Speaker 1: ruin the great reputation of Iowa Pizza. Did you just
Speaker 1: play the second clip? No, that's the whole thing. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll play the second clip. I thought there was more
Speaker 1: of more of a punchline there, so he made a
Speaker 1: joke about it. I'm just worried that this will ruin
Speaker 1: the great reputation of Iowa Pizza. Yeah. I wanted it isolated.
Speaker 1: So even Jimmy is making fun of Iowa Pizza. No
Speaker 1: offense Iowa. I happened to be a fan of Des Moines. Um,
Speaker 1: I just it's just what we were talking about pizza.
Speaker 1: Let me get a little granular on at uh that.
Speaker 1: The place that you're talking about is called Fong's Pizza,
Speaker 1: which I've been to several times because we are in
Speaker 1: town for the fair. Almost every other year. Um, it
Speaker 1: doesn't sound very Italian. It's not. It's it's actually, uh,
Speaker 1: it's the coolest. It's a cool lou l o O.
Speaker 1: Look up the word lou bathroom. It's no, it's a
Speaker 1: cool lue. It's lou means more than that. So Fong's
Speaker 1: Pizza is one of those late night cool spots. They've
Speaker 1: got great vibes. You know, I wear my Brooklyn industrial
Speaker 1: to them, but they serve pizza. They have a liquor license.
Speaker 1: It is the coolest fucking, funky ass place in the Moine.
Speaker 1: If you're listening from the wine you know, you know
Speaker 1: what you and after the bars you go there. But
Speaker 1: even during dinner time. It's a huge place and it
Speaker 1: reminds me of like an old Chinese restaurant from Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: but it's pizza it and they do so many cool things.
Speaker 1: They kind of clash everything. Their their pizzas are the
Speaker 1: regular pizza is phenomenal. Never had this this one here,
Speaker 1: the one that they're talking about with the fruit loops.
Speaker 1: But they're known for doing outrageous things. Brodie So by
Speaker 1: the way, no no connection to Casey's gas Station Pizza
Speaker 1: also in Iowa. Um, but yes, Fong's Pizza is amazing,
Speaker 1: and Elvis is my witness. He's been there. We've a
Speaker 1: bunch of us have been there. Okay, so yeah it's
Speaker 1: a good spot. All right, that's fine. I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know, Jimmy Fallon, I was talking about
Speaker 1: Iowa pizza, uh, and we reference what happened. We were
Speaker 1: talking about you being in a bad mood. I had
Speaker 1: a couple of tweets, so real quick, real quick, Andrew

Speaker 1: little awkward? She said, I can always tell when Scary
Speaker 1: Jones is having a bad day. Like, dude, we're all
Speaker 1: always following along with David Brody. It's always you who

Speaker 1: O L has take Scary sass um and then uh
Speaker 1: Reggie snoop. Pettypog wrote, because which I told you about.
Speaker 1: Sometimes Family Feud clearly wants the people to win. He said,
Speaker 1: I was watching Family Feud yesterday. One of the questions
Speaker 1: for fast money was name a color in the traffic light,
Speaker 1: and another one was name an ocean? Are you kidding me? Like?
Speaker 1: You gotta say, of course, of course you're gonna win
Speaker 1: the big money. They always they always do that on
Speaker 1: Family Feud. Yeah. Well if they don't do it, you
Speaker 1: know you're screwed. You know, they're like name a river
Speaker 1: in in in Africa. You're like, what do you want
Speaker 1: to help somebody with free dessert? Somebody needs our help.
Speaker 1: There's got a lot of free dessert stories. I was
Speaker 1: going to read you one I got just today. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a person with a problem. She's she's a
Speaker 1: fellow Bensonhurst, Brooklyn Knight, Rebecca Chan. Okay, she's writing to
Speaker 1: you because hotels dot Com is taking advantage of us
Speaker 1: and it's not okay. My husband and I desperately need
Speaker 1: the advice of you, uh of the customer service wrangler
Speaker 1: they call you m Last April, my brother and his
Speaker 1: fiancee had to postpone their wedding because of COVID. We
Speaker 1: ended up canceling our hotel reservation that was booked through
Speaker 1: hotels dot Com. Got a voucher. We're trying to rebook
Speaker 1: again this year, but they're not allowing us to use
Speaker 1: our full voucher amount. Instead, they're charging us taxes and
Speaker 1: fees again, even though our voucher amount more than covers
Speaker 1: our hotel room costs. This means they're trying to charge
Speaker 1: us twice for the same damn thing. This is criminal
Speaker 1: and we're at out wits end. Trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how to correct this. We reached out to customer service,
Speaker 1: tried to contact corporate, the hotel itself, no luck, and
Speaker 1: our credit card company. Nobody wants to get their hands dirty,
Speaker 1: and we wish nothing but diarrhea on them, which is
Speaker 1: what we do on the Big Show. Um, please, any
Speaker 1: any piece of advice. She even leaves her phone number two. Um,
Speaker 1: by the way, that is that is absolute fucking bull shit. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that wasn't by the way for the email.
Speaker 1: That was just picking on scary of course because I
Speaker 1: fell asleep during the phone call. Right. Um, it is
Speaker 1: an absolute it is absolute bullshit. You cannot let them
Speaker 1: get away with this. This is a pandemic. These aren't
Speaker 1: regular times we're living in and they sure as fuck
Speaker 1: should not be charging you double. The fact that you're
Speaker 1: being charged again, Hotels dot com should be giving her
Speaker 1: a credit. Yeah, the hotel should lower their price fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars for the night to cover whatever taxes and fees
Speaker 1: you have to pay. Again, but that's even is not
Speaker 1: even though? So they they She now needs to go
Speaker 1: in on Hotels corporate. Yeah, she needs to call hotel,
Speaker 1: she says, you called corporate somebody. Well, they didn't get
Speaker 1: she got nowhere with it. Well, you gotta first of all,
Speaker 1: you gotta fry them on social media because ultimately someone's
Speaker 1: gonna say, d M, that's the problem, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: try to help you. Because nobody wants to get fried
Speaker 1: on social media. It's a bad look, especially during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Make sure your tweet has the word pandemic in it, um,
Speaker 1: and make sure you tweet at hotels as well. This
Speaker 1: is a situation where you want to see see them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you you want, but don't. Yeah, but don't speaking of
Speaker 1: ce seeing, um, don't tag me necessarily when you guys
Speaker 1: are complaining about a company, A couple of guys like,
Speaker 1: oh goddamn you such and such Airlines at David Brody
Speaker 1: at Airlines. Um, you can tell me the problem. But
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gon a disadvantage when I'm already
Speaker 1: on the tweet, so I gotta be careful. Just god forbid,
Speaker 1: they're a sponsor of ours. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: in trouble, so just you know, tweet tweet me separately, okay, anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: I would not rest a minute. You're absolutely right. Don't
Speaker 1: let people take advantage of you, especially during a pandemic,
Speaker 1: call anyone. You have to keep calling till one of
Speaker 1: the operators is sympathetic. Right, there's not just one person
Speaker 1: answering the phone. Someone will answer the phone who had
Speaker 1: the same problem in their real life and is going
Speaker 1: to help you. Um translation, somebody with a brain will
Speaker 1: finally come to the phone and may make a few tries.
Speaker 1: Keep keep track how many phone calls you made, because
Speaker 1: that's how much money you're gonna want for your inconvenience.
Speaker 1: You have to make six phone calls to get someone
Speaker 1: to help me because they charged me twice. The pandemic
Speaker 1: is not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't be out of any money. That's their problem. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're listening saying well companies are struggling, I absolutely
Speaker 1: get that, but if they want continued business, they got
Speaker 1: to do right by their clientele. They can't just shoot
Speaker 1: on people and go, well, it's a pandemic. Businesses bands,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna shoot on you. You You can't shoot on people.
Speaker 1: You can't. I mean you can't. That's what you're into,
Speaker 1: but you can't do that as a business. So that's
Speaker 1: my suggestion. And I my style on And the reason
Speaker 1: why I email um I actually read that one is
Speaker 1: because well, first of all, that one encompasses about fifty
Speaker 1: others that we've received, all similar you know where they
Speaker 1: are being fucked out of money and do due to
Speaker 1: the pandemic, do the same thing. Everyone listening that that
Speaker 1: email with that type of thing, you are in the right.
Speaker 1: Just know that you will get the right person on
Speaker 1: the phone. Okay, So Raina sent me a d M
Speaker 1: yesterday scary yesterday. She's ray ari Y Ray of sun
Speaker 1: dot Shine on Instagram. She said, okay, Brody, I need
Speaker 1: your expertise. Oh first hashtag grodin scary. So she had
Speaker 1: my attention right away. Good. How much free dessert should

Speaker 1: for Walmart Plus to get my groceries delivered. I ordered

Speaker 1: Around ten thirty, I get a text that my groceries
Speaker 1: have been delivered. They warrant. I called customer service and
Speaker 1: they said they would get it delivered within four hours.
Speaker 1: Four hours later, I get a call from my local
Speaker 1: Walmart asking how my experience was. I said, well, my
Speaker 1: groceries have not been delivered. The guy I spoke to said, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: that must be the car that is sitting here with
Speaker 1: your groceries. We will try to get a driver out
Speaker 1: there as a p NO. I said, well, since I'm
Speaker 1: already on the road, um nearby, I'll pick them up
Speaker 1: pick up as a free service. They brought my stuff
Speaker 1: out to my car. What do so? I said, So
Speaker 1: I said, first, all of all, thank you for putting
Speaker 1: my name first. I would ask for two months credit
Speaker 1: at least, because they did not provide the service you
Speaker 1: pay for and you picked it up yourself. It was
Speaker 1: a huge inconvenience. You wait at home all day and
Speaker 1: wasting your day has value, and they never showed up.
Speaker 1: You didn't get to cook dinner because your groceries weren't
Speaker 1: there until much later in the day. Huge inconvenience. They
Speaker 1: need to keep you as a customer. I would say
Speaker 1: fifty credit or a couple of months, whichever you prefer,
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. She hit me up today,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a hundred dollar gift card and they waved subscription. Good,
Speaker 1: so good for you, Raina. You took the advice of
Speaker 1: the customer service Wrangler. Yeah, c s W. C s W.

Speaker 1: uh it pays to listen to Brody. You got a
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and a credit. So good on you, as
Speaker 1: they say, um, yeah, So I do I know you
Speaker 1: want to take a commercial break in a minute. You
Speaker 1: do want to talk about a Reese's travesty going on?
Speaker 1: And I want to know this one. And I want
Speaker 1: to talk about the three things that happened to me
Speaker 1: in home Depot in the past two days. So and
Speaker 1: I have a couple of things that I want to
Speaker 1: get off my chest too, all that Italian hair. Ah yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the reese'st thing. When I
Speaker 1: get some of some of your chest, I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear you. Okay, just just uh all right, I'm looking
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna see this other thing for next week.
Speaker 1: So a lot of Megan Markle and Prince Harry have
Speaker 1: been in the news a lot lately. But you didn't
Speaker 1: notice that, Brody, You don't come on now it's been.
Speaker 1: It's been at the top and the bottom of every headline,
Speaker 1: it's been everywhere. Now the thing is, you can't get
Speaker 1: away from this story. And obviously do we have to
Speaker 1: even re rehash what's going on? No, but you you
Speaker 1: are not a fan, and all right, I think we
Speaker 1: just move right to the point. Okay, Um, every day
Speaker 1: a new wrinkle comes out, like, for instance today, like
Speaker 1: the Piers Morgan, the British host yesterday, yesterday whatever, right, exactly,
Speaker 1: But the point is every day it's something. When when
Speaker 1: is Buckingham Palace gonna gonna Respond's gonna say? And by
Speaker 1: the way, you know, like a pier with a boat
Speaker 1: docs put an S on the end of that, that's
Speaker 1: his name, Piers, Piers, Piers Piers. So anyway, I can't
Speaker 1: be the only one that, for lack of a better terms,
Speaker 1: just is bored by the royals, just uninterested, like tunes
Speaker 1: out Like every time I hear anything about the royal family,
Speaker 1: the Queen, the prince, I just shut down and I
Speaker 1: don't and I don't know why. I want to like it.
Speaker 1: I want to be able to participate, because I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously we are we consume pop culture, don't we this
Speaker 1: is what we do. Our job is to report on it.
Speaker 1: Our job is to have opinions on these things. But but
Speaker 1: but when it comes to but I'm not a hater.
Speaker 1: I'm not a hater. I'm not a borderline in this case.
Speaker 1: But here's why I don't understand. Here's why I don't
Speaker 1: see what the point They are Americans? Why do I
Speaker 1: have to listen? No, And I pointed out one of
Speaker 1: them is no, no no, no, no. The point is this
Speaker 1: is the royals family, and the Royal family drama is
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on overseas. I understand. Megan is American.
Speaker 1: They they live in California. Now I get that they left,
Speaker 1: but that was a big story when they left. They're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're dude. It's it's it's it's it's
Speaker 1: ten thousand years of tradition or whatever. That's the thing
Speaker 1: these people are. First of all, they're not They're not
Speaker 1: in any real power. Everything that they have is all
Speaker 1: it's all majestic and fairy tale. It's and it's all theoretical.
Speaker 1: They're not political leaders. They don't have anything to do
Speaker 1: with theoretical. They are what they are. They're just not political.
Speaker 1: They are all it is is just a year fairy
Speaker 1: tale that continues to exist. And I understand it's an
Speaker 1: old tradition, it's a ritual, but it's not if they're
Speaker 1: not again, I don't know. I can't relate. Why do
Speaker 1: we so? Why do we find it's so fascinating? Is
Speaker 1: my question? That's so why do as Americans? And hold
Speaker 1: on before you answer. I know there are some slices
Speaker 1: out there, like are you kidding me? I hang on
Speaker 1: every word. Anytime someone gets married, anytime they have a baby,
Speaker 1: any of the series related to them on Netflix, I
Speaker 1: gotta watch it and I get down. The Crown is huge, right,
Speaker 1: I know, it was like the number two show on Netflix.
Speaker 1: This past was number one and all this other ship right, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: but why is it so possible? I'll tell you what. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll calm down now. Okay. First of all, I still
Speaker 1: find the Royal family. Although I'm not a fan, I
Speaker 1: still find it more interesting than horror scopes and the Kardashians.
Speaker 1: So are you talking about you know, you're talking about
Speaker 1: as it relates to talking about it in the big show.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about it, just talking about like things
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people care. I don't understand horrorscopes
Speaker 1: in general. Anyone believes that people fake makeup stuff for
Speaker 1: the newspapers. It's all made up and people can't leave
Speaker 1: their house without it. I don't. That's for me, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. So the same way you don't
Speaker 1: get their all family, I don't get her scopes. I
Speaker 1: also don't get the Kardashians. We're gonna find this all
Speaker 1: this stuff out here under unpopular opinions, right because because
Speaker 1: a lot of people like the Kardashians. Yea, you know, no,
Speaker 1: but when you know, in the eighties, there was a
Speaker 1: show called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous where they
Speaker 1: would show Robin Litch life style lifestyle. They would show
Speaker 1: people's mansions, and it was back when like there was
Speaker 1: just just opulence and gordiness of the eighties and everything.
Speaker 1: Everyone's houses look like Trump's New York apartment, gold everywhere, mirrors,
Speaker 1: exotic yachts, all kinds of craziness, and celebrities had no
Speaker 1: problems showing the just ridiculous lives they had, right, So
Speaker 1: people like the escapism of watching good looking, famous, rich
Speaker 1: people live it's and look, I'm not saying men don't
Speaker 1: like it, but women, for instance, You know, people love
Speaker 1: Disney princesses. They love the Disney it's escape. It's looking
Speaker 1: at a princess and thinking I could be treated that way.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not. Again, women like to be treated differently.
Speaker 1: They don't and saved their lives. I get that. But
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of a fantasy of being
Speaker 1: a queen or a princess, like being treated like that
Speaker 1: for some people. And so the royal family, although we
Speaker 1: it took a war for us to get away from them,
Speaker 1: it's got our own country. People like the pomp and circumstance. Uh.
Speaker 1: They love Diana, who is this non famous girl who
Speaker 1: stepped into the like Cinderella's story, Right, But but then
Speaker 1: did you hear all the stories that around her within
Speaker 1: the documentary and stuff behind the scenes. Who who she
Speaker 1: really was? They made her out to be a witch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's because she made them out to be difficult because, uh,
Speaker 1: she wasn't accepted, she wasn't royalty that they weren't happy
Speaker 1: that that prince, which, by the way, even more so
Speaker 1: I hate them because they they're prejudiced. They don't want
Speaker 1: to let people into their little bubble there, a little circle.
Speaker 1: They know, because they don't want to ruin a good thing.
Speaker 1: The government gives them millions of dollars to live like
Speaker 1: kings and queens, so they do. They don't want to
Speaker 1: ruin it. They're not gonna. It's like them permission to
Speaker 1: be biggots. And you know, in this most recent story,
Speaker 1: no one gave them permission to be biggots. I'm not
Speaker 1: defending biggot trade. No one knows who said that. But
Speaker 1: you can certainly understand the culture, not must stand excusing it.
Speaker 1: You can understand that these are people who are basically
Speaker 1: inbred for centuries. The ring their well, they marry their cousins,
Speaker 1: their distant husins. It's all royalty. Marries royalty. Usually their
Speaker 1: blood doesn't clot they don't. They don't often marry a
Speaker 1: half black American woman who you know, who is an actress.
Speaker 1: That's not a normal the norm. That's not the norm
Speaker 1: for them. So if you grew up in that life,
Speaker 1: in that world and listen, it's no different than in America.
Speaker 1: You don't think they're Italian families who when the sun
Speaker 1: brings home a Jewish girl, they're not like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck and by the way, I know Jewish religion. There
Speaker 1: are so many parallels in real life and now they're
Speaker 1: and they're going through all this stress. And it's how
Speaker 1: many little girls black and white looked up to Megan
Speaker 1: Markel and said, look, I can, I can look as
Speaker 1: she's a princess, watch her. Can you imagine having a
Speaker 1: U can show you the world from a black family
Speaker 1: and as part of the royalty of England, that's a
Speaker 1: big deal, right. So, and Harry is Harry was always
Speaker 1: like the relatable one. He was the hot one. Well, no,
Speaker 1: his brother was the hot one until he wasn't. Um.
Speaker 1: His brother was William, right, William William was. It was
Speaker 1: like the good looking guy until he wasn't and then
Speaker 1: Harry got hot, but William was hot first. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: point is they live in this world, right But is
Speaker 1: it any different than watching football players who get a
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, you know, for for a two year
Speaker 1: contract and and live at these these hundred million dollar mansions.
Speaker 1: And we have that here. We have we have in
Speaker 1: the Kardashians are American royalty. As sickening as that is
Speaker 1: to some people, they are a rich, opulent um right
Speaker 1: fell into it. Uh family. People like to see what
Speaker 1: they do, They want to see how they live. The
Speaker 1: larger question is why has America slipped into such escapism
Speaker 1: and that where they want to fantasize about these things,
Speaker 1: and and and it's the King and Queen, it's the princess.
Speaker 1: How many movies are about princesses? Listen, American royalty is Hollywood.
Speaker 1: That's our royalty for a lot of people. For me,
Speaker 1: For me, I just I'm not into it, and and
Speaker 1: and and it's okay that I'm not. It's and I'm
Speaker 1: sure some people agree with me, but apparently not everybody,
Speaker 1: and not not even the majority, because I feel like
Speaker 1: it's it's just right now. It's popular. Interview was was
Speaker 1: was like a blockbuster people watch that. You have to
Speaker 1: remember the thousands of years there's been a monarchy. You'd
Speaker 1: get your head cut off of saying the things they
Speaker 1: said in that interview, I know, off with your head right.
Speaker 1: Princess die, wouldn't you know? Ran from the media. She
Speaker 1: died trying to get away from the media. And now
Speaker 1: you've got a couple that lives in California, gave up
Speaker 1: their their world, gave up I guess they gave up
Speaker 1: their they're they're pomp and circumstance. There a lot of
Speaker 1: their money, their castle, they gave up everything to come
Speaker 1: live in California. I guess they heard of the bagels
Speaker 1: being so good, but they had come to California. I
Speaker 1: just I guess I just want it. I guess I
Speaker 1: want I want the slices to tell us what do
Speaker 1: you feel about? How do you feel about the Royals?
Speaker 1: Are you into it and you're not? You know what
Speaker 1: I would say? Half the people, let's say after damn,
Speaker 1: I don't care watched when she got married or they
Speaker 1: watched the wedding guaranteed. Yeah, all right, Okay, listen, this
Speaker 1: isn't This is not a rancome on stage coaches. It's
Speaker 1: more of me trying to understand. I really want to
Speaker 1: I just want to underscape why as popular, That's all
Speaker 1: I'm not. We're in a We're in a pandemic across
Speaker 1: the world, and you think Tiger King would have been
Speaker 1: as successful as it was if it didn't come out
Speaker 1: at the beginning of a pandemic. So the world right
Speaker 1: now is a bit aft up, and so this this
Speaker 1: is like, this is a young woman believe it or not.
Speaker 1: You know um who is speaking out against racism, and
Speaker 1: and uh well I credit her for that. I mean,
Speaker 1: God bless her. That's that I like. But how bad
Speaker 1: is it when Harry gives up by the way, Harry,
Speaker 1: Harry got screwed because of the way they do the
Speaker 1: whole next in line, for the for the, for the,
Speaker 1: for the throne. Right. First of all, Queen Elizabeth may
Speaker 1: live forever, so Prince Charles actually may die before she
Speaker 1: does and never get to be king. So William is
Speaker 1: the firstborn. Right if if William dies when he has
Speaker 1: no kids, Harry could be king. But what happens is
Speaker 1: William the older brother, his kids move ahead of of
Speaker 1: of Harry in the pecking order. Why because he was
Speaker 1: born first, Because they're born to the firstborn. So every
Speaker 1: time William has a kid, Harry moves down another notch
Speaker 1: away from being the king. So I'm wondering, as bad
Speaker 1: as his life has been, right, would you have walked
Speaker 1: away if he was the older brother? In other words,
Speaker 1: if he had a chance of being third in line
Speaker 1: to the to being king and his kids would be
Speaker 1: kings and queens. Right, thank you? Thirty seconds to Mars
Speaker 1: um a Max as well. Um. You know, I have
Speaker 1: to wonder if he'd step away. He's got really no
Speaker 1: chance unless God William's family goes down in a plane
Speaker 1: crash and they all die. Harry is really not going
Speaker 1: to be king. He's not. So he's like, you know what,
Speaker 1: when I got to lose, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave here,
Speaker 1: go to l A and make millions of dollars with Yes.
Speaker 1: So he basically I walked away from Prince Ship, which
Speaker 1: is still good. You're living that little frog frog town
Speaker 1: whatever they call. We've already spent too much looked at this.
Speaker 1: We find ourselves talking about it. Yes, I have so
Speaker 1: many rants. Let's get off this topic. Please? How do
Speaker 1: we get here? All right? Can we talk about Reese's Yes, please,
Speaker 1: I don't have the audio ready of the of the
Speaker 1: guy ranting about Reese's peanut butter cups. But this is this,
Speaker 1: this is me ranting. This is being launched any day now.
Speaker 1: By the time you hear this, it may already be
Speaker 1: out now. Reese's Peanut butter Cups. Who doesn't lie the way?
Speaker 1: One of my favorite, it's everybody's favorites, the number one
Speaker 1: candy on Halloween. It's it's not everyone's favorite. I know
Speaker 1: you guys hate it. I know, but most people love
Speaker 1: or good rees peanut butter cup. Right, so remember they
Speaker 1: remember the original commercials, you got your chocolate, my peanut
Speaker 1: butter you have my peanut butter chocolate. It was Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a guy with a walkman on and he
Speaker 1: was like roller skating or taste that tastes great together,
Speaker 1: right it was? And then all of a sudden, it
Speaker 1: was very very very sexual if you think about it,
Speaker 1: because he's walking with the chocolate and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, she's got the peanut butter and then he
Speaker 1: jammed the chocolate in the whoa, they run into each
Speaker 1: other on the street and the chocolate ends up in
Speaker 1: her peanut butter cup. What I'm saying, yeah, So you
Speaker 1: know how TV shows when they get run out of
Speaker 1: ideas or they want to expand they have a kid,
Speaker 1: they have a girlfriend, they add cast members. It's no
Speaker 1: different than food. You make varieties. So Reese's peanut butter cup,
Speaker 1: they came out with dark chocolate peanut butter cup. They
Speaker 1: came out with white chocolate peanut butter cup. They came
Speaker 1: out with peanut butter Lover's peanut butter cup with peanut
Speaker 1: butter before you can come hold on, they have Rees's
Speaker 1: peanut butter cups with Reese's pieces. Reese's pieces. When you
Speaker 1: think about the cup, the cup is chocolate and then
Speaker 1: the peanut butter makes it the peanut butter cup. Correct,
Speaker 1: just just gone overboard. Grammatically it's correct, but you gotta
Speaker 1: be kidding me. They are releasing a peanut butter cup
Speaker 1: without chocolate. It is a cup of peanut butter, granted
Speaker 1: with peanut butter in it. Now, I know it's hard
Speaker 1: peanut butter on the outside and it's peanut butter inside
Speaker 1: soft peanut butter. But wouldn't just but it's two types
Speaker 1: of peanut butter. So yes, it is technically a peanut
Speaker 1: butter cup by definition. But come on, now, you only
Speaker 1: have two ingredients. You've tried changing one of the ingredients.
Speaker 1: You've tried shoving more stuff in the ingredients. Now you're
Speaker 1: removed and ingredient. You're down to one ingredient. It's two
Speaker 1: different types of but I will buy it because I'm
Speaker 1: a huge fan of peanut butter. So peanut peanut butter
Speaker 1: on peanut butter is amazing. I'll eat it. That's like
Speaker 1: buying cheese pomejan or cheese conquests. So it's peanut butter
Speaker 1: with peanut water in it. Now, look, I'm gonna eat it.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I just feel like I feel
Speaker 1: like it's just something not right about it. See, they
Speaker 1: should do a Reese's peanut Butter and jelly cup where
Speaker 1: they make the peanut butter the cup on the outside,
Speaker 1: and then the jelly in the middle. Yes, you've wanted that.
Speaker 1: I've been wanting that for years. So Reese's peanut butter
Speaker 1: and jelly cup, and which, by the way, sounds so
Speaker 1: great too. Great taste that go great together. I you
Speaker 1: got your peanut butter and my jelly. You got your jelly,

Speaker 1: flat let's just say it's a bump of sticker. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bumpus. I'm selling a bump of sticker.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what it is. I'm not looking to
Speaker 1: promote it here. But you know you can. You can
Speaker 1: put it in a in a box, but that seems hard.
Speaker 1: You can put it in an envelope with cardboard right
Speaker 1: to keep it straight, like a bigger envelope. But I
Speaker 1: realized the sticker fits perfectly in a regular old I
Speaker 1: think it's a number ten envelope, like a white regular envelope.
Speaker 1: Those are the number ten's right. And so although I
Speaker 1: charged I think I don't know to fifty for shipping,
Speaker 1: because that's what the that's what eBay said the charge. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, if I could put a stamp or
Speaker 1: two on here, I'll save some money. So I I
Speaker 1: cut up of a thin cardboard box and I put
Speaker 1: h cut it to the size of the envelope, a
Speaker 1: little bawler. I put the sticker in between. I seal
Speaker 1: the envelope. I put tape on it to keep it shut.
Speaker 1: And now I've got a secure bumper sticker in the
Speaker 1: cardboard in the envelope. Now I'm like, I'm making some
Speaker 1: money on the shipping. This is great. Yeah. I go
Speaker 1: to the post office, uh two weeks ago, and the
Speaker 1: woman says, it's cents. I said, great, I have some stamps.
Speaker 1: I put the cents on. Done, Okay, sounds great. I
Speaker 1: sell a second sticker because I have a few of them.
Speaker 1: I go back to the post office and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: can you just tell me how much this is? Because
Speaker 1: I want to I have the stamps. I just want
Speaker 1: to confirm because I what he did was I trimmed
Speaker 1: some of the cardboard. I didn't need a little less cardboard.
Speaker 1: So I think it maybe get like eighty cents at
Speaker 1: nine five whatever, because I've got a five cents stamps.
Speaker 1: Continue well, I don't know the amount, so I wanted
Speaker 1: to get the exact amount. So she says, this is
Speaker 1: kind of stiff. It's stiff. Wait a second, you don't
Speaker 1: get you don't get charged on stiffness. She get charged
Speaker 1: on if I did. Hello. Okay, Well, so I said,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. So she hands it
Speaker 1: to the guy to her left, my right, and he's
Speaker 1: looking at it and he starts bending it like like
Speaker 1: you know, like like bending it like up and down,
Speaker 1: up and down like you know, back right. So I go,
Speaker 1: excuse me, please don't bend it. Right, he says, I
Speaker 1: have to. I have to see if it's gonna go
Speaker 1: through the machine. Said, he starts bending it again, excuse me,
Speaker 1: please don't bend that. And I get like that just
Speaker 1: like loud. He says, I have to see if it
Speaker 1: goes through the machine. That's where he sucks you by
Speaker 1: the way and charges you triple because you don't have
Speaker 1: to care about that. So I said, don't bend my envelope, sir.
Speaker 1: He says, well, it's not going through the machine if
Speaker 1: I can't see if it bends, I said, then that's fine.
Speaker 1: I won't put it through the machine. Then I'll put
Speaker 1: it in a box if I have to. But it's fragile.
Speaker 1: That's why this cardboard in it. He says, Hey, man, relax,
Speaker 1: I said, I was relaxed the first two times. I said, please,
Speaker 1: don't bend it, and your answer was I have to
Speaker 1: bend it, as if you had some kind of o
Speaker 1: c ding you had to bend everything. So then the
Speaker 1: woman says, I'm sorry, sir, just calmed down. And then
Speaker 1: the guy at the counter, who was waiting for that
Speaker 1: guy to help him, turns to the guy and says
Speaker 1: he shouldn't relax. You shouldn't bend his ship. He said
Speaker 1: that he defended you. He defended me, yeah, the guy.
Speaker 1: So the guy says, here's your envelope. What do you
Speaker 1: want to do with it. I said, I'm gonna repackage it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your time, have a nice day, sir,
Speaker 1: and I walked out. But the guy was like, the
Speaker 1: guy stuck up for me. He's like, that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, he's like, you shouldn't have to relax. Don't
Speaker 1: bend his ship. By the way, you know, they were
Speaker 1: going to destroy your ship and it wasn't gonna get
Speaker 1: to where it needed to get if you went back.
Speaker 1: So I did was I put a thinner cardboard in it.
Speaker 1: I mailed it somewhere else, as you should have. I
Speaker 1: would have been the same thing at that point, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not going there. I know a thing too. Yeah,
