Speaker 1: Start uf dot up, Start Up, Brooklyn Boy, Start Up,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boy, Start Data. They're making noise data dot up.
Speaker 1: Episode one. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Oh we're singing
Speaker 1: it now a k a. The highlight of my week.
Speaker 1: But there's not much competition, no, Brodie, I mean, what
Speaker 1: is there really to be excited about these days? Uh? Laundry?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean there's it's not saying much
Speaker 1: when I say it's I looked forward to this. So
Speaker 1: so Garrett from from the Elva Strand show. Our buddy
Speaker 1: Garrett texted me a little while ago, and he says, hey, man,
Speaker 1: this is this show you gotta try out. It's funny,
Speaker 1: you'll like it. So I said, Oh, who's it by whatever?
Speaker 1: He says, Oh, it's by the creatives of such and such.
Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't really like that show, so
Speaker 1: why would I want to watch another show by them?
Speaker 1: So he writes back hashtag quarantine. In other words, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't be begging for a quality show. I should just
Speaker 1: take what I should get because we're stuckholme anyway, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so we don't. We don't. Beggars can't be choosers at
Speaker 1: this point, right, I don't know if I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: it or not. But if I if I watch it
Speaker 1: and I have an opinion, I'll let you guys know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Otherwise it's not worth mentioning. So
Speaker 1: I'm just The point was he was like, lower your standards, man.
Speaker 1: You're on quarantine, and I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: us that are isolating and just hanging out and board
Speaker 1: at home with nothing to do, are finding things to
Speaker 1: do and things to watch. If you want to start
Speaker 1: with TV, you could talk about like junk series and
Speaker 1: docu series, biopics and things that you normally wouldn't had
Speaker 1: you not had as much time on your hands. But
Speaker 1: now you're just like, you know, I found that I
Speaker 1: discovered a whole set of channels digital channels that the
Speaker 1: l G TV offers. I have an LG TV, and
Speaker 1: it offers like a whole second band of channels, like like, look,
Speaker 1: what the hell is this? Scary? And they have like
Speaker 1: special numbers next to them scary. Did you need to
Speaker 1: mention the brand name of your of your television in
Speaker 1: this case, yes, because I'm not so sure that Samsung
Speaker 1: and Sony and others they do manufacturers offer it's called
Speaker 1: no because because they're called LG channels. I didn't do
Speaker 1: that was not a great two. It's mentioned I'm not
Speaker 1: getting paid by l G. I mentioned it because specifically
Speaker 1: l G TVs have this. Now I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have it on the SAM Sung So they have
Speaker 1: like other yes. So one of the inputs is is
Speaker 1: basically over the air channels. They're not cable. They are
Speaker 1: uh it's like fitness channels that you can go to
Speaker 1: and watch over the air. Over the air would mean uh,
Speaker 1: I'm saying they're not They're not there, and I'm saying
Speaker 1: that I know that, I know that. What I what
Speaker 1: I what I meant was they're not through direct TV there,
Speaker 1: they're they're local channels. But they're like cable access channels.
Speaker 1: If you if people you remember before cable you had
Speaker 1: like uh F which was like channel forty seven had
Speaker 1: wrestling back in the day, or Spanish language channels. So
Speaker 1: there's there's hundreds and hundreds of channels. There's cooking channels
Speaker 1: and the comedy channels all built in. I guess, like
Speaker 1: I said, it's a it's a different band of local television.
Speaker 1: But for instance, one of my all time favorite shows
Speaker 1: is Mystery Science, the the three thousand, where where they
Speaker 1: have had robots. You'd watch and people would watch really
Speaker 1: bad movies from the fifties and and and sixties, and
Speaker 1: they would comment at the movies and critique them and
Speaker 1: make jokes and so, uh, there's a channel of that
Speaker 1: kind of programming. That's all they do, is that, right?
Speaker 1: While I discovered a channel that was just running rowan
Speaker 1: In Martin's Laughing, which is like a comedy show from
Speaker 1: like the six from the sixties. Yeah, and it's like
Speaker 1: a TV show that was on network TV and now
Speaker 1: they have like a whole thing. So but no, but
Speaker 1: these are digital channels. They're not broadcast in any way.
Speaker 1: They're not like actual cable channels. They're just there're they
Speaker 1: come with the TVs and you have to kind of
Speaker 1: like press buttons to find them. It's it's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm maybe I think we're talking about the same thing,
Speaker 1: but you have yours in your universe. I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is just this is just called the LG like
Speaker 1: digital channel series and I don't know this these are
Speaker 1: but what my point is, the larger issue is these
Speaker 1: are the things that I'm discovering while in quarantine, Like
Speaker 1: I would never have stumbled upon that had I not
Speaker 1: had eleven hours in a row on my hands, you know.
Speaker 1: And and Brodie, I don't know about you, but I'm
Speaker 1: now starting to like do stupid things like huh, let
Speaker 1: me go, let me adjust the brightness, let me adjust
Speaker 1: the picture. The sound? Is the sound as optimal as
Speaker 1: it could possibly be? And I'm literally fucking with the remote,
Speaker 1: saying what does this button do? What is this I'm
Speaker 1: literally going through menus of things I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: like my router, you know, from my my WiFi. I'm
Speaker 1: like trying to figure things out there. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: like really like diving deep into every piece of technology
Speaker 1: that I own to make sure that I'm getting optimal
Speaker 1: use out of it. And that's just on the technology side. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm recording this right as as we're doing the
Speaker 1: podcast on my end and you're recording on your end,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the wave file in front of me,
Speaker 1: and I did not speak for a minute and twenty
Speaker 1: three seconds. Louis Is might thank me for this. I
Speaker 1: can find it. I can find chunks of audio or
Speaker 1: I don't say a word, I know, for twelve minutes straight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and all I say is don't I'm not criticizing me
Speaker 1: that I'm not. Absolutely not the only reason crazy, I'm
Speaker 1: a cage fucking monkey. The only reason, the only reason
Speaker 1: I brought that up is it a minute in twenty
Speaker 1: three seconds prior, I wanted to add something to what
Speaker 1: I was saying, and I didn't want to. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to. Forget No Mystery Science Theater. The people that
Speaker 1: made Mystery Science, the three thousand some of them, are
Speaker 1: working on a new project. It's not new, it's like
Speaker 1: ten years old called riff Tracks r I F F
Speaker 1: T R A X. And that's the channel that's built
Speaker 1: in through the television. There's a riff Tracks channel. It's
Speaker 1: only four hours a day of making fun of old movies.
Speaker 1: So that was so long ago in this podcast that
Speaker 1: I forgot what the initial comment was that set that
Speaker 1: off that, which is why yeah, right, it's why we
Speaker 1: set it up. You should have jumped in and edit
Speaker 1: it then. No. You you know, you were talking about
Speaker 1: like changing the brightness on your television and adjusting the colors,
Speaker 1: but you aren't you doing stupid things around like that
Speaker 1: around the house. I got going to do a TV Okay,
Speaker 1: So it reminds me of two things. One it reminds
Speaker 1: me of home projects, which is Home Depot related, uh,
Speaker 1: which was that I was at home Depot on Friday
Speaker 1: around five o'clock. I was out grocery shopping in case
Speaker 1: you're wondering why I was out, and on the way home,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I really need to stop and pick
Speaker 1: up something at home Depot. And I have my mask,
Speaker 1: I have my goggles, have my gloves, have everything that
Speaker 1: that I feel comfortable wearing. And I went to Home
Speaker 1: Depot to run in and grab the one thing. And
Speaker 1: the line for Home Depot, because they're social distancing, they
Speaker 1: have everybody lined up six ft apart and they only
Speaker 1: let people in as people come out. Well, the line
Speaker 1: was a on the front of the store, down the
Speaker 1: side of the store, and into the parking lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's my best guess is people are catching up on
Speaker 1: those home improvement things the same way you go to
Speaker 1: like these craft stores like Michael's or even the craft
Speaker 1: section of like a Walmart or Target, and like everything
Speaker 1: sold out. Like you guys don't have fucking crayons. You
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. To the day I was looking
Speaker 1: for clear tape. I just wanted some scotch tape. They
Speaker 1: didn't have any, and I'm like, what's what the run
Speaker 1: of type tape like this toilet paper And they're like,
Speaker 1: you don't understand. They say, a lot of kids are
Speaker 1: you know, the kids are home, So we're out of
Speaker 1: sidewalk chalk. We talked about that, we're out of anything,
Speaker 1: any supplies that you could normally find on any given
Speaker 1: day in any store ever. But they're out of, um
Speaker 1: the tape and rubber bands. No rubber bands, rubber bands, oh,
Speaker 1: rubber bands, and the hood masks on people are making
Speaker 1: their homemade masks. That's why I couldn't figure out the
Speaker 1: rubber band thing. Yeah, hair twist ees, ponytail holders, all
Speaker 1: that stuff people are using to uh to attach their
Speaker 1: their their bandanas that they're making into scarves into. Looking
Speaker 1: for twist ties and they couldn't. I couldn't even find those.
Speaker 1: They're like, sorry, man, you got you gotta buy garbage
Speaker 1: bags in order to get the twist ties. Yeah. By
Speaker 1: the way, you don't sell twist I said, you don't
Speaker 1: tell twist ties, like like you know just loose like
Speaker 1: a bunch of like twenty Twitter and they're like, no,
Speaker 1: they only come inside the garbage bags. A month ago,
Speaker 1: being from Brooklyn, I was very tempted to grab a
Speaker 1: box of trash bags, open it up, grab the twist ties,
Speaker 1: and walk out, but I didn't do that. You can
Speaker 1: go online and get twist ties if you need to, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. But as far as masks go, uh,
Speaker 1: people who were making masks a month ago because there
Speaker 1: were no masks fear not. There are now masks on Amazon,
Speaker 1: which I talked about on the Walkers and Talkers podcast.
Speaker 1: If you search for face masks on Amazon fu Amazon.
Speaker 1: They have the worst search engine imaginable because if you
Speaker 1: search for anything, half of your results are nothing like
Speaker 1: what you search for. So if you search for face mask,
Speaker 1: you know what the top five pages of stuff are
Speaker 1: that you get, like women women's facial masks. I didn't
Speaker 1: search for facial masks. I want a face mask to
Speaker 1: cover my mouth so I don't get coronavirus. And by
Speaker 1: the way, you were an employee at Amazon who works
Speaker 1: on the tech side with the pandemic, even if that
Speaker 1: pops up by default during this time, you should make
Speaker 1: regular face masks pop up by default. You can order
Speaker 1: it any way the fun you want. You could put
Speaker 1: the facial masks after that, right, which is which is
Speaker 1: what I tweeted about a few days ago. I tweeted
Speaker 1: an Amazon I'm like, hey, you should have a link
Speaker 1: on the front page of Amazon dot com. Here are
Speaker 1: your face masks that that that you're looking for? Here
Speaker 1: everything that is an actual face mask. So, like I
Speaker 1: wanted a walk in dead face mask, if you search
Speaker 1: for walking dead face mask, you get actual like zombie masks.
Speaker 1: You don't get the kind of masks you want, which
Speaker 1: is kind of coincidental since so many people. Unfortunately, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure the population googling face mask in any search
Speaker 1: engine is talking about the to prevent the So after
Speaker 1: an hour I realized, because I found some some masks
Speaker 1: were coming up in my searches, you have to search
Speaker 1: for a dust mask. Now, why would you search for
Speaker 1: a dust mask if you're looking for the kind of
Speaker 1: masks a nurse wears. I don't mean nurse quality, I'm
Speaker 1: saying their medical masks, right, But if you search under medical,
Speaker 1: you don't get you only get like a box of
Speaker 1: disposable medical ones. I was looking for ones that had patterns,
Speaker 1: so like, if you search for Mets face mask, you
Speaker 1: might find one. So I searched for again, it's impossible
Speaker 1: to find a walking dead face mask because again zombie
Speaker 1: masks come up. But if you search for walking dead
Speaker 1: dust mask, then you can find some. So the you
Speaker 1: know as a great search engine Etsy. If you search
Speaker 1: on Etsy for what you want, you find it. How
Speaker 1: how look? I know Amazon is trying to sell me
Speaker 1: other stuff. So when you search for USB adapter, you
Speaker 1: find adapters, you find US B S, but you I
Speaker 1: want USB adapter. I don't want things that have a
Speaker 1: U and S and a B in it. It's the
Speaker 1: worst arch engine. But I guess they want you to
Speaker 1: look at other stuff and go, oh, I don't need that,
Speaker 1: but it came up with my search results. I'll buy that. Also,
Speaker 1: I can't criticize, right, but don't show me that in
Speaker 1: my search results. When I specifically want a one eighth
Speaker 1: auxiliary cable into a three quarters cable coil, don't don't,
Speaker 1: don't don't put up coils. I don't want coils, so
Speaker 1: so f you Amazon overall, But I was able to
Speaker 1: find a bunch of masks on Amazon that I want again.
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned you off off this podcast. I
Speaker 1: found um New York Mets masks on eBay and Etsy
Speaker 1: that I ordered. I got some Walking Dead masks I
Speaker 1: only have I sent. I sent you a Beastie Boys mask,
Speaker 1: and I sent Jamie, my co walk my co host
Speaker 1: from Walkers and Talkers. I sent her a bunch of
Speaker 1: Walking Dead masks. So you can liven up the monotony
Speaker 1: a little bit by getting a pattern mask. That's that's
Speaker 1: what people are doing. Yeah, well I have the boring
Speaker 1: blue one, but I wanted something that was like, you
Speaker 1: know what, what would I do if this is the
Speaker 1: real world, I'd wear something with a pattern. I'd wear
Speaker 1: a Met shirt or a Met jersey. So let me
Speaker 1: let me liven up you know who I am and
Speaker 1: express myself through my mask because you can't see my face,
Speaker 1: so you don't know if I'm smiling or not, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: So let me do something that says maybe it's a
Speaker 1: conversation starter. Although on the other hand, I don't really
Speaker 1: want to have a conversation to anybody, so maybe that's
Speaker 1: a bad idea. This is well, this is actually a
Speaker 1: time for the fugg lease isn't it our time? Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: And and speaking of the fugg leaves, And by the way,
Speaker 1: I want to get back you and I we where
Speaker 1: I'm in public with our mess I'm like, yeah, look
Speaker 1: at me, I got swagger. You can't see the lower
Speaker 1: half of my face, right. So, and all the attractive people,
Speaker 1: all the Instagram models, what are they doing? They must
Speaker 1: be so miserable having to cover up, right, well, they
Speaker 1: must be using skinny masks. There must be some like
Speaker 1: really tight mask they could wear like skinny jeans. But
Speaker 1: yesterday I went out, uh to, like I said, supermarket
Speaker 1: shopping whatever day it was Friday, Yeah, yesterday, And I
Speaker 1: had the full the full mask on, had a navy
Speaker 1: blue mask. I had navy blue um goggles on, not goggles.
Speaker 1: I bought protective glasses on eBay. They're basically glasses, but
Speaker 1: they're just glass frames or plastic to cover my eyes.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, you can't see anything. I
Speaker 1: look damn good today. You're right, I felt that. I
Speaker 1: felt the same. I was like, wow, I look good.
Speaker 1: So speaking of looking goods of the world unite, butter
Speaker 1: face of the world unite. Uh, do you want me
Speaker 1: to talk about a light problem I noticed, or the
Speaker 1: morning show Elvistra in morning show video on Instagram, which
Speaker 1: you want me to go to next, because I want
Speaker 1: to take a little bit of both, but so you
Speaker 1: take your choice. Let me let me start off with
Speaker 1: the morning show video that went up at the Elvistra
Speaker 1: and Elvis da Ran show account on Instagram. Our video
Speaker 1: producer Diana. I don't know who had the idea. I
Speaker 1: guess she did, doesn't you know, God bless whoever it was.
Speaker 1: They put together a video of all the women on
Speaker 1: the morning show, right, starting with Dan yelling Andy looking
Speaker 1: great and then putting the remote up to the camera
Speaker 1: and then taking it away, and then it was them
Speaker 1: what they really look like during the day now since
Speaker 1: they're not dressing up. So it was like a before
Speaker 1: and after, right, and it was great. There's like this
Speaker 1: seven or eight women on our morning show. It was great.
Speaker 1: So then Ali sends a yeah, they put that that
Speaker 1: was a TikTok that they then shared on Instagram right
Speaker 1: right of TikTok right, and so I remember when where
Speaker 1: we do TikTok's. Now they're not just for kids anymore.
Speaker 1: And you heard it here first, okay, can I segue
Speaker 1: now to TikTok's for a second. You can do that, Okay. Listen,
Speaker 1: now see this is where we're at that fork in
Speaker 1: the road on the float chart. Yeah, and we can
Speaker 1: we can go down, get off the exit, but then
Speaker 1: we go back to the on ramp and come back
Speaker 1: right Okay. So it's speaking of TikTok's. I have been
Speaker 1: on on TikTok watching shark videos and people jumping off
Speaker 1: cliffs in flight suits, like just to keep myself busy.
Speaker 1: But every once in a while, when you're going through
Speaker 1: the for you section, h girls doing TikTok dances come up.
Speaker 1: So I've noticed two things about the girls on TikTok,
Speaker 1: which I zipped through as quickly as I can. This
Speaker 1: is my kids TikTok. I don't need to watch other
Speaker 1: kids doing it. It seems like every girl on TikTok's
Speaker 1: name is Madison. That's step one. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that's about. They're all One of the most popular tiktoker's
Speaker 1: is named Addis. Her name is Addison. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: who she is. But again, Addison and Madison not the
Speaker 1: same name. So that's my observation. Also, no one on TikTok.
Speaker 1: As far as the girls who dance on TikTok, none
Speaker 1: of them seem to know the proper use of the
Speaker 1: word your. They use the wrong your all the time.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's either it's either it's either a
Speaker 1: TikTok thing or they make or they spend more time
Speaker 1: learning how to pretend they're driving a car and doing
Speaker 1: that arm lock thing that everybody does than than study
Speaker 1: their grammar. I don't know, but I can't believe that
Speaker 1: Charlie Damilio is she broke up with Chase Hudson because
Speaker 1: that he was cheating on her. Do I lose you?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how to respond to that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you're on TikTok too much.
Speaker 1: I am, Well, she started, you know, she used out
Speaker 1: of the hype house. You know, the content houses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love. I don't know if our audiences. I like
Speaker 1: to find this and I'm exploring this world. I'm finding
Speaker 1: it fascinating. They have sponsored houses, like physical houses that
Speaker 1: these kids move into just so like with twenty rooms
Speaker 1: in it, and they live there just solely to create
Speaker 1: TikTok content. In fact, Rihanna opened up the fenty House.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the hype House with with Charlie and Dixie,
Speaker 1: her sister, older sister, and all these other people. There's
Speaker 1: old drama going on within these houses. It's only amount
Speaker 1: of time before a reality show comes out focusing on
Speaker 1: the houses because and then there's the West Coast one,
Speaker 1: which is the club House, and that's all like Beverly Hills,
Speaker 1: like rotten, you know, teens with you know, born with
Speaker 1: a silver spoon in their mouth, spending daddy's money. So
Speaker 1: is your next podcast going to be a hype House
Speaker 1: review podcast? No? But I got I know, I gotta
Speaker 1: say listen always on. She's got, first of all, like
Speaker 1: Charlie in the most Instagram a most followed uh TikToker,
Speaker 1: she's got like forty three million followers. You know, I've
Speaker 1: noticed a lot of the TV show garners about ten million,
Speaker 1: if they're lucky, ten million viewers. Yeah, but that's that
Speaker 1: She's got forty three. She got four times the amount
Speaker 1: on one every fucking videos she puts out. She doesn't
Speaker 1: have that many views on every video. She hasn't that
Speaker 1: many followers. That's not views. Some of those people may
Speaker 1: not watch. It doesn't matter. She's got millions, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter she's competing with with the most watched shows on Netflix. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know she's very popular and she's finding a way
Speaker 1: to make money out of it. I got God bless her. No, No,
Speaker 1: that's great. That's what it's all about. Again. That that
Speaker 1: thing I complained about on Instagram, It's happening on TikTok
Speaker 1: now where you're watching a TikTok video and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they pull out an energy drink. They're doing
Speaker 1: the Scary Jones thing. I need a jingle for that.
Speaker 1: The TikTokers are pulling out sponsored product now or them.
Speaker 1: That's called Yeah, that's called capitalism. Absolutely. But you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: but but no, one I'm saying, is that's an endorsement. Yes,
Speaker 1: I got that. I'm just saying you're trying to say,
Speaker 1: that's the equivalent of Oh, I think I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: this awesome dance and the middle right, you're like da,
Speaker 1: and like as they pull they pull out a can
Speaker 1: of of like boom energy drink whatever it is, or
Speaker 1: they're like like looking into the lens and they're like
Speaker 1: delarusso makes me see better? Yeah, I hite the jingle
Speaker 1: that commercial. These kids are very right to make every
Speaker 1: penny they want, but you don't. I want to start
Speaker 1: seeing fifty of everything you make for playing jingles on
Speaker 1: our podcast. So anyway, anyway, that's what's going on in
Speaker 1: the world of TikTok and I love it. I've been
Speaker 1: following it now, like because once again I've got way
Speaker 1: too much time on my hands. Okay speaking away too
Speaker 1: much time and TikTok and it reminds me about before
Speaker 1: when you say you were just in the lights on
Speaker 1: your television set one of your videos you posted. I
Speaker 1: don't remember where I saw it. You've got an actual
Speaker 1: photographer's light in your house with the doors on it. What?
Speaker 1: What the hell is that? Yeah? What is that? How
Speaker 1: much did you pay for that thing? Irrelevant? Okay, so irrelevant.
Speaker 1: I have, dude, that's an expensive light. What what do
Speaker 1: you mean that photographer's light? It's a it's an actual
Speaker 1: it has a tripod. Right, are you a photographer seven
Speaker 1: ft high? Are you a photographer now that I don't
Speaker 1: know about. No, it's a L E D L E
Speaker 1: ED light. It's it's rectangular and it has what we
Speaker 1: call barn doors on it, the barn doors of the
Speaker 1: shutters that you could open, open and close, you know,
Speaker 1: in the rectangular you know there's four panels and steel panels. Okay,
Speaker 1: but why do you need huh, why do you need that?
Speaker 1: You do? You have women? Here's what's going on, and
Speaker 1: this is this is a real thing. Oh I don't
Speaker 1: real thing for people. I get Okay. We do Zoom
Speaker 1: meetings in the daytime. Yeah, and you sit and you
Speaker 1: sit in the dark. We talked about that last week. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: well that's the problem, not solution. This was a solution
Speaker 1: for the problem. You could turn the lights on the apartment.
Speaker 1: I am. Let me, let me back try to your point,
Speaker 1: and that is we are. We do have a lot
Speaker 1: of Zoom meetings now, and we do them with clients,
Speaker 1: not just the morning show. It's a lot. I'm on
Speaker 1: camera a lot, and unfortunately I sit in front of
Speaker 1: the computer and I'm backlit and I have no I
Speaker 1: have no lighting. I have a tiny lamp. That doesn't
Speaker 1: do me justice. It's just so I look like, um,
Speaker 1: this fucking creepstir in the darkness, like the banker on
Speaker 1: deal or no deal, Like that's what I look like,
Speaker 1: and I can fix it in the light. There's no
Speaker 1: light anywhere. No, no. All the lighting I have are
Speaker 1: are low our lamps and they're all there's no The
Speaker 1: only overheads I have are in my kitchen and in
Speaker 1: my bathroom. All the light is lamps. Yeah, there is
Speaker 1: they they is lamps, right, Okay, that makes sense. But anyway,
Speaker 1: my point is, so I need a source of light,
Speaker 1: an abundant source of light, like a floodlight, a spotlight
Speaker 1: that's on me during these Zoom meetings, because so I
Speaker 1: can be lit up because everyone because it's awkward, Everyone
Speaker 1: makes jokes scary, why are you in the dark? Man?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I look like an idiot, So I
Speaker 1: have to be presentable. I mean, it's the same way.
Speaker 1: You take more than that light? How much did you
Speaker 1: pay for the light? Scary? More or less than the
Speaker 1: Sweller system you're having. Let me say this, there are
Speaker 1: very popular lights called ring lights are good solution. You
Speaker 1: can get them for you can get them for fifteen dollars,
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. You can get these. These are and their
Speaker 1: circular and they're perfect for these TikTokers. Well they're pulling
Speaker 1: out their energy drink and doing their dances for you.
Speaker 1: A lot of YouTubers use them and whatever popular. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows what ring light is. Why did you buy one
Speaker 1: of those? No? I imagine you there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people listening to this podcast. They do not know. I'm
Speaker 1: saying they know ring night lights. Now what now they do?
Speaker 1: Why didn't you get one? Because I read up on
Speaker 1: ring light? Hold on pause right there. The ring light
Speaker 1: is the financial equivalent of the forty a dollar microphone
Speaker 1: I bought. Now you went instead of the forty four
Speaker 1: on the microphone. You spend hundreds of dollars on your supersystem.
Speaker 1: So it sounds to me like you bought the equivalent
Speaker 1: in lights? Would that be fair to say? It is
Speaker 1: a light, it's rectangular, and it's only seven seven inches
Speaker 1: by four inches. It's a seven by four light. Okay,
Speaker 1: So rather than a round light, you pick a square
Speaker 1: because here's the problem with a ring light, okay, And
Speaker 1: that's just that, and maybe somebody can somebody can tell
Speaker 1: me what's up with this. The ring lights emit a
Speaker 1: light that kind of makes They're good for a kind
Speaker 1: of light that where the light falls off your face.
Speaker 1: It's good from makeup tutorials so mostly women are on
Speaker 1: there doing makeup and you can see the contours of
Speaker 1: their face and ship and whatever. And I'm like, whoa,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not trying to achieve that. I just
Speaker 1: want a big burst of light in my general direction,
Speaker 1: lighting up my whole fucking figure, like kind of like
Speaker 1: you always be a big figure when you're out in
Speaker 1: the club. You want that too, you always want the
Speaker 1: big spot light on you. I get it. It's not
Speaker 1: about that. The point is I there was a problem,
Speaker 1: all right, It needed a solution, and that was my solution.
Speaker 1: How much was the light fifty bucks sixty? It was
Speaker 1: it was over a hundred dollars with the tripod, with
Speaker 1: the seven foot tripod, over a hundred dollars to light
Speaker 1: yourself on zoom. Well, it's forever. It's it's I can carry,
Speaker 1: it has battery packs, it has battery charges, I can
Speaker 1: I can go out in the field with it. If
Speaker 1: I needed to do a shoe, you know, I would
Speaker 1: have taken a wrench and a and a and a
Speaker 1: flashlight and and prop the wrench around the light so
Speaker 1: angled towards my face. It would have been your solution.
Speaker 1: That would have been my solution, or I could just
Speaker 1: picture you with the duct tape and trying to balance
Speaker 1: a balance a flashlight over the you. You would do that.
Speaker 1: I have a headband lamp that you where when you're
Speaker 1: working in crawl spaces or if you lose power, so
Speaker 1: it's like it's a headband with lights and you can adjust.
Speaker 1: What are you a coal miner? Yeah? So I would
Speaker 1: have wrapped that around my laptop and so that the
Speaker 1: light shined on me before I spent a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty dollars or whatever you spent on a light. That's
Speaker 1: a photographer's light. It's a professional piece of equipment. What
Speaker 1: do you want me to do? I want you to
Speaker 1: not buy one? It also it also has two knobs. Okay,
Speaker 1: get this you could Okay, the one knob goes from
Speaker 1: ten to day, hold on, hold on, and the other
Speaker 1: knob goes out and spends a hundred dollars on a light. No,
Speaker 1: it goes from tungsten to daylight, six thousand degrees to
Speaker 1: twenty These is photography speak now. But the point is
Speaker 1: it's a soft light and a hard light. So it's
Speaker 1: it's the speak. Here, here's the best, here's the best
Speaker 1: way do you want to buy some time share I
Speaker 1: have to sell. No, here's the analogy. Women, ladies. You
Speaker 1: know your makeup mirrors you have with the lightings on
Speaker 1: the side, by the way, you don't know how one
Speaker 1: of the biggest lights, the biggest you turn the buttons
Speaker 1: the knobs and gives you like that orange light that
Speaker 1: glow for the night time. That's what the equivalent of
Speaker 1: this is in a knob format. Oh, it's definitely and
Speaker 1: I can perfect it's adjustable. By the way, men were
Speaker 1: makeup too, I think you're being sexist. Do you not
Speaker 1: know who Jeffrey stars? Yeah? All right, what kind of
Speaker 1: light does he use? Go fund yourself? Okay, So, like
Speaker 1: twenty minutes ago, I was talking about the Morning Show
Speaker 1: video and all the girls. So Ali, we're going back
Speaker 1: on that one, back on version from that. You know
Speaker 1: how you are, You always go off on tangents anyway,
Speaker 1: So the Morning Show video, So Ali texted everybody, all
Speaker 1: the men, and said, they want us to let ourselves
Speaker 1: go don't shave, right, and then film us looking crappy
Speaker 1: and then shave and do our hair or whatever, and
Speaker 1: then make ourselves look good for this video so that
Speaker 1: they can show it before and after right, I don't
Speaker 1: have it before. Maybe you should go out and buy
Speaker 1: one of these photography Like, yeah, so what I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of doing as a joke is to do and after
Speaker 1: and after. So I'm gonna be on the couch looking
Speaker 1: like a slob and then click the remote and then
Speaker 1: I'm still looking like a I do think that that's fun.
Speaker 1: That's funny. I think that's a punchline. But you just
Speaker 1: gave it away to everybody. I'm just telling you, I
Speaker 1: may do that. I don't know if I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: it or not. Even if I do it, it's still visual.
Speaker 1: I have some ideas would have to be they would
Speaker 1: have to end with that. That would be the funny one,
Speaker 1: like like ha ha joke punchline. Yeah, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: That's the point I'm saying, I may do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I may do that. Hilarious. Um, So I have to
Speaker 1: know sacrifice and not shave. Well, I just shaved a
Speaker 1: day and a half I think before this text message
Speaker 1: came through. She's like, don't shave till wednesday. Had I known,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have shaved the beard I had or what
Speaker 1: I've had on my face, because it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be till Wednesday. If I already had the scruffy face,
Speaker 1: I coulda I could have filmed it today. So now
Speaker 1: I'm two days in to three days in maybe to
Speaker 1: not shaving. So I'm not gonna go till Wednesday not shaving.
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm doing that. So I may have
Speaker 1: to film the like, there's no reason I can't film
Speaker 1: the video on Monday or Tuesday. Right, there's no reason
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I don't see why not? Right,
Speaker 1: So you can do that, Yeah, you get away with that.
Speaker 1: How much scruff are you gonna have between now and Wednesday? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm already two days in, so that's gonna be a lot. Man. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: can handle this, because if I have to do something
Speaker 1: on Monday and record something, I have to. They want
Speaker 1: me to record a video for a high school prompt
Speaker 1: for one of our radio stations. You really really want
Speaker 1: me to look like a fucking pedophile. Hey, here I
Speaker 1: am with my fucking beard. No, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I have to be clean shaven. I have to comb
Speaker 1: my hair and take a shower. Wit are pedophiles known
Speaker 1: for having beards, I mean no, but yeah, and the
Speaker 1: creepy mustaches. Yes, wearing an unscruffed beard. By the way,
Speaker 1: do you have a Do you have a razor to
Speaker 1: trim your beard? M nah? Like nah, right, I have.
Speaker 1: I look at guys like Drake and like dj Kalet,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, how the hell do they do that?
Speaker 1: They got those sharp trimmers and stuff, but even even
Speaker 1: even like to go from like two inches of beard
Speaker 1: to one inch of beard, you have to have a
Speaker 1: beard like a trimmer, right, trimmer right? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have never. I have never in my life owned
Speaker 1: one of those. So anytime, like we're on vacation from
Speaker 1: work and I want to grow up and not shaved
Speaker 1: for a few days, I let it grow up until
Speaker 1: the point it's annoying and itchy, and then I shave it.
Speaker 1: Because I've never owned any kind of device, so like,
Speaker 1: I can take scissors to it, but it's never even
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I'm zero to sixty done. Well, I
Speaker 1: go like zero to twenty, right, and then I go,
Speaker 1: I gotta get rid of it, because you run the risk.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a no turning back point where if
Speaker 1: you go a week and a half for me where
Speaker 1: you don't shave, then the razor hurts, and then you
Speaker 1: don't want to shave because you're like afraid to shave
Speaker 1: because it hurts, So then you don't shave until it
Speaker 1: hurts a lot. But I've never owned a razor, so
Speaker 1: now with the advent of nobody can cut your hair,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about buying clippers two shave or or shorten
Speaker 1: my hair. Have you're stimulating the economy? Have you douying
Speaker 1: beer tremmers? And I'm buying photo lights? Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the same thing. I saw all expos on the news
Speaker 1: about people buying photography lights that that's the same thing.
Speaker 1: By the way, have you cut your hair at all? Nope,
Speaker 1: I'm eight weeks in Okay. I had gotten a haircut
Speaker 1: about two weeks before the lockdown, so I'm probably two
Speaker 1: weeks away from being desperate. So somebody sent me a link.
Speaker 1: I have to find it. It was a story about
Speaker 1: online video barbers. If you heard about this, I thought,
Speaker 1: I I so I texted Elvis. I thought to be
Speaker 1: a great bit for you to do either on air
Speaker 1: or off air, like and then come in and show
Speaker 1: your hair cut, so you pay barbers through this service
Speaker 1: and they come on and give you a one on
Speaker 1: one FaceTime chat or zoom or whatever where they talk
Speaker 1: you through how to cut your own hair. So you
Speaker 1: mirror them and they show you, like, grab your hair
Speaker 1: this way and then cut it. Grab your hair from
Speaker 1: here and cut it, use the razor here this way.
Speaker 1: Why not? I think it'd be a great bit. How
Speaker 1: great would that be? We're like on Tuesday next week
Speaker 1: you say you signed up for it, right, and then
Speaker 1: you do it. Tuesday night you put up pictures and
Speaker 1: video on our social media and Wednesday you come in
Speaker 1: with your your new video helped haircut cutting your own
Speaker 1: hair for dummies. Well no, not just be for you,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's right. So the barber talks you through it. Well,
Speaker 1: could you do that? We're we're from Brooklyn. We're more
Speaker 1: resourceful than that. I know a guy, you know a guy.
Speaker 1: I know a guy who's having like speak speakeasy barber shop,
Speaker 1: a little on the side, action, little bit on the
Speaker 1: side out in his tool shed. The guy whoves on
Speaker 1: Staten Island. I'm out why because he's not Brooklyn. No,
Speaker 1: not that it's because because because and apparently, how how
Speaker 1: do I say that. I hear that he's dressed up
Speaker 1: in like a has Matt suit or something close to it.
Speaker 1: I'm being you know, actually here, folks, and he cuts
Speaker 1: your hair safely, and then you get your hair cutting me.
Speaker 1: You know, what's it? You tip him in. That's it
Speaker 1: a little side business. I I was told by a
Speaker 1: friend of mine who says, hey, because I posted this
Speaker 1: on Instagram of me with my out of control hair,
Speaker 1: it's like ridiculous. And he said, hey, man, listen, he's
Speaker 1: slid into my d M because I know a guy
Speaker 1: you want, you want, you want to do this, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I thought about it for a second. Then
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't. I can't. I can't do it
Speaker 1: but this guy. But but these businesses exist, these people
Speaker 1: are doing They're conducting haircuts in the privacy of their
Speaker 1: own home or out in the backyard somewhere. That's it
Speaker 1: I needed. I need a friend who's been my friend
Speaker 1: for years, who knows how to cut hair, that I
Speaker 1: can trust, I know where they've been. That's what I need.
Speaker 1: I don't have that. I have radio friends, I have
Speaker 1: sales guy friends. I don't know. Did you ever think
Speaker 1: he would need? Uh? You know a haircut hook up. No,
Speaker 1: I don't have one of those. I oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: never occurred to me. Like you're like, oh, I have
Speaker 1: a doctor in the family. That's great. You don't have
Speaker 1: that I have, you know, I have. I have lawyers,
Speaker 1: I have accountants like I have, you know the stuff
Speaker 1: that you're like, Oh, I wish I had like a
Speaker 1: doctor in the family. I got a lot of doctors
Speaker 1: in my family. I need a barber. I don't have
Speaker 1: an uncle Giuseppe, like you have a better shot of that.
Speaker 1: Jews don't tend to be balls well, and if you're
Speaker 1: a Jewish father, if you want me to pass along
Speaker 1: the info, I know a guy. If you want to
Speaker 1: get it done, you could get it done. But I was,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, let me see how far
Speaker 1: I can take this. I got with my long hair.
Speaker 1: Plus I gotta I gotta pay twenty dollars and gas
Speaker 1: and tolls to go to this guy. I'm already in
Speaker 1: the hole before I even show up there. See, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even think about that. We spent We spent two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on a light. You know you have to,
Speaker 1: but some things are just worth it. Like I mean, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this because this is a question
Speaker 1: that's been bothering me now for two weeks. My wife's
Speaker 1: car needs new tires. Okay, and because it's all will drive,
Speaker 1: they recommend you replace all four tires at once, So
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into it. I'm only gonna put
Speaker 1: two on. There's a reason. But anyway, the tires are
Speaker 1: like a hundred and forty dollars plus they want you
Speaker 1: to pay twenty five dollars to balance them and mount them,
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna tell me I'm gonna need new
Speaker 1: wheel alignment because the car was out of alignment, which
Speaker 1: is why the tires went bad. So just the two
Speaker 1: tires because I have to match the tread patent on
Speaker 1: the two tires to the four tires. Don't tweet me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. I'm just telling you what they told me.
Speaker 1: It's like four dollars for two tires. So my question,
Speaker 1: I googled what I'm about to ask, scary. Why are
Speaker 1: tires so expensive? And I'm let me explain. It's just
Speaker 1: rubber that they put into a mold. They probably didn't
Speaker 1: need a lot of manpower. Right when you when you
Speaker 1: get new tires. What do you do with the old tires?
Speaker 1: You give the tires to the place. They get money
Speaker 1: back for recycling them. Right, the rubber goes right back
Speaker 1: to goodyear of firestone. However, they melt the tires down
Speaker 1: and remold them, right, Why am I? Yeah, they're making
Speaker 1: money off of your bones. Right. And you know what
Speaker 1: a lot of places do they charge you? Get this,
Speaker 1: They charge you five dollars to recycle the tires, so
Speaker 1: they pay you have to pay them them zero zero sense. Well,
Speaker 1: because they have to store them and they claim they
Speaker 1: get rid of them, but they're getting money for recycling them.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the junkyards pay them in bulk for tires
Speaker 1: because some places sell you use tires so you can
Speaker 1: have an emergency tire in your drunk. So they're making
Speaker 1: money off my old tire if it's decent. Right, So
Speaker 1: everybody's making money. Why is a piece of rubber a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars when it's most likely recycled. It
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense now. The only responses I saw
Speaker 1: online because people, if you google wire tires so expensive,
Speaker 1: you get a lot of Reddit columns and chat room boards. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, scamboni going on around here. There is a
Speaker 1: major scamboni with tires because they know you're desperate. Right,
Speaker 1: It's not like you can you can go without tires.
Speaker 1: And I know that a lot of money would into
Speaker 1: the science of tires, the research of tires. I get it.
Speaker 1: But once they designed the good Year Eagle or whatever,
Speaker 1: they can make the good Year Eagle for twenty five years.
Speaker 1: They don't have to make new mole is every twenty
Speaker 1: five years. They just make the same tire. And you know,
Speaker 1: the car companies are in on it, right. I was
Speaker 1: about to say that the car companies are in on
Speaker 1: this racket because because they say, we need to let
Speaker 1: let's do a different style of tires so you can't
Speaker 1: use that one, and then well, you guys will make
Speaker 1: more money. And then they're they're being kicked back to
Speaker 1: guarantee the kickback is and it's all sponsored, right, is
Speaker 1: Let's say let's say Dodge, if you buy a Dodge,
Speaker 1: they come with let's say good Year Eagle gts on them. Right,
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, hey, my new car came with good tires.
Speaker 1: That's because that's because they pay Dodge to use their
Speaker 1: tires or they give Dodge an incredible because they know
Speaker 1: that when the tire goes flat, I gotta buy another
Speaker 1: good Year. I gotta buy another good Year. Right exactly now,
Speaker 1: I know already you're already christened into their little racket. Right.
Speaker 1: The only time I'm gonna you're not gonna deviate from that, like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I need a good Year. It's gotta match the other three. Right.
Speaker 1: The only way that you get out of that that
Speaker 1: cycle is if you buy two tires and you have
Speaker 1: a front wheel or a rear wheel drive car, then
Speaker 1: you can put the two new Talk tires that aren't
Speaker 1: good Year on the you know, on the drive of
Speaker 1: the car, like my cause, real wheel. I could put
Speaker 1: the the other tires on the back and then eventually
Speaker 1: change the front ones, right, but you can't. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: replace one tire that doesn't match the other tires because
Speaker 1: then they don't grab the road properly. So it's a
Speaker 1: whole big scamboni. Uh. And I just feel like a
Speaker 1: tire should be like fifty bucks, right, fifty bucks scamboni.
Speaker 1: That's a scamboni. The whole tire industry. I'm giving a
Speaker 1: big few to the tire industry. It's ridiculous. Hey, tire industry,
Speaker 1: fuck you, fuck you right, thanks for your Scamboni industry.
Speaker 1: What's your thought? Is there any reason you could think
Speaker 1: of that a slab of rubber is a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty bucks. No, there's no reason for it, because we
Speaker 1: know it's rubber is one of the cheapest things you
Speaker 1: could buy. Um, I'm I am totally on board with
Speaker 1: that Scamboni Brodi that is there. In fact, there is
Speaker 1: no other way. It can't be a Scamboni. Although you
Speaker 1: know what I did wants to save five dollars. So
Speaker 1: I was getting one tire about six months ago on
Speaker 1: my car and they're like, there's a five dollar recycling
Speaker 1: charge for your old tire. I said, oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna make a yard swing
Speaker 1: for my kids. Like okay, So they gave me the tire.
Speaker 1: I saved the five bucks, and then I dumped it
Speaker 1: in the garbage at another tire dealership that had a
Speaker 1: mountain of tires. I just threw my tire on their
Speaker 1: on their pile. Everybody listening should go out and when
Speaker 1: they need a new tire, buy a different tire from
Speaker 1: a different company. Every time. Well, yeah, I can hand
Speaker 1: Cook on the top on the on the left passenger side,
Speaker 1: and then you go for a Midas on the back
Speaker 1: right Continental and the hold on, hold on my Okay.
Speaker 1: First of all, that's a terrible idea because cars will
Speaker 1: slide all over the road. I just explained that. Second
Speaker 1: of all, I don't know. I think you should hand
Speaker 1: in your man card because you're trying to name four tires.
Speaker 1: Right Like if you had called into a morning show
Speaker 1: and they said, hey, call up one hundred, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. If they said, hey, scary Jones,
Speaker 1: name four tire companies for a thousand dollars, you said,
Speaker 1: Handcook and then Midas. The second tire company you mentioned
Speaker 1: is a company that fixed breaks breaks mightus doesn't make tires. No,
Speaker 1: they don't make tires. Mike Handcooks makes tires, and so
Speaker 1: does Michelin, and so does Continental. Okay, but you have yourself.
Speaker 1: But you're out after two because we got to name
Speaker 1: the other ones. Wait, mics doesn't make tires. Hold on,
Speaker 1: here's what you did that the mids touched what happened
Speaker 1: to that ship? That's how well they fix your brakes?
Speaker 1: And you're in your shop. Minus makes tires. Oh you're
Speaker 1: you're digging a big hole, my friend. Uh name four
Speaker 1: brands of tires, Goodyear, Panasonic, Sam Song, hold On, Yes,
Speaker 1: Midas going to there. Yeah, Midus tires for sale. No,
Speaker 1: they sell tires, but they're not their own. No Midas brand.
Speaker 1: There has to be have I not seen that on
Speaker 1: a freaking car. No, you haven't, Minus brand tires. Uh, man,
Speaker 1: have had handoff your man card, hand it over. Also,
Speaker 1: Jiffy Lube doesn't sell their own brand of tires. Scary
Speaker 1: the pet boys. The pet Boys don't make their own
Speaker 1: brand of tires. I know that, okay. Also, also, don't
Speaker 1: look for x on tires because XN doesn't make time.
Speaker 1: I thought I really did think Minus made tire whatever, dude, No,
Speaker 1: not whatever. That's a that's a major. Hey, listen, I
Speaker 1: can at least name for tire companies. I bet a
Speaker 1: lot of people can't. Okay, scary name name for football teams,
Speaker 1: the Jets and bed Bath and beyond. That's nicely what
Speaker 1: you just did? You really are? Yeah? I am oh,
Speaker 1: I'm you know Bertie. I will say this though, and
Speaker 1: if is another reason that I should hand in my
Speaker 1: man card, I'll give you a second one, because this
Speaker 1: project is staring me straight in the face. I have
Speaker 1: I bought this little side table about four months ago.
Speaker 1: No no, no, stop it stop it is it a
Speaker 1: table from my outdoor decorator. I have a glider outside.
Speaker 1: You know what glider is? The okay? Well some people
Speaker 1: you just did. Some people that don't know a glider is. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm saying duff for me. First of all, if you
Speaker 1: have kids, what a glider we have? We have people
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast I'm talking about that. You should
Speaker 1: probably not talking about that for those people. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying because now people are like, fuck you Brodie because
Speaker 1: I don't know what a glider is. To know what
Speaker 1: it is, and if you do, that's great, don't add us,
Speaker 1: don't tweet us. I will, I will. There are people
Speaker 1: I was I was doing for me. You said, David Brody,
Speaker 1: do you know what a glider is? And I said,
Speaker 1: duh because as someone could say that as someone with
Speaker 1: three kids. The rocking chair long long ago was replaced
Speaker 1: by a glider. So you probably have a long rocking
Speaker 1: chair for two whatever points. It doesn't brought a bought
Speaker 1: a side table for it. You know, and I have
Speaker 1: to put it together, so it's been sitting in the box.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you think that would be the thing to do,
Speaker 1: the perfect thing to do while hanging out in quarantine.
Speaker 1: I got nothing but time right, build this thing right.
Speaker 1: And if you can't see the screw holes, you can
Speaker 1: bring your two D light over to light up the
Speaker 1: area when you assemble it. Don't be an asshole. That's
Speaker 1: hard for me. Duh, that's the worst ever. Du it
Speaker 1: was a Billie Eilish. Du Oh? Was it okay? Thanks? Okay,
Speaker 1: you're quoting Billy. You're quoting Billie Eilish, and you're telling
Speaker 1: me about hype House on TikTok, and yet you can't
Speaker 1: name a tire company. Dude, your man card just put
Speaker 1: it in the shredder and him in the market for
Speaker 1: a light. Let's let's run down the list. You're two
Speaker 1: different people way, that's why this podcasts works hundreds of
Speaker 1: dollars on a light to make yourself look glamorous. You
Speaker 1: watched TikTok and you study hype houses and you know
Speaker 1: all about the hype house drama and who's dating who.
Speaker 1: You're quoting Billie Eilish songs now Hey, don't me a favorite. Sorry,
Speaker 1: let's have let's have this. Can't all be fans of
Speaker 1: fucking grateful dead, fucking dodging, dodge fucking caravans. Wow, I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of the grateful Dead or Dodge caravans.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Hey, by the way, before the
Speaker 1: podcast is over, can you do a segment where you
Speaker 1: count down the top five tampons those strings attached? Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: go I go. You see you putting this table together, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I was gonna put this table together.
Speaker 1: It's been sitting here for six months. I have it.
Speaker 1: It's in the box. It's still in this fucking box.
Speaker 1: I haven't even taken the box cutter out of my
Speaker 1: drawer to open the dance thing. But why don't you
Speaker 1: see if you can find a man to come over
Speaker 1: and do it. It just says some assembly required, and
Speaker 1: that's enough for me to put it out for eight months.
Speaker 1: The worst some was like them out. So I'm I
Speaker 1: looked at it this morning. I got up nice and earlier.
Speaker 1: It was all energetic. I'm like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: got it eight thirties this morning. I'm gonna be productive today.
Speaker 1: Today's the day I today's the day I put together
Speaker 1: that side table. What have I done so far? Here?
Speaker 1: It is four o'clock in the afternoon. How's that table
Speaker 1: still in the box? Haven't even opened it up yet.
Speaker 1: What would the hype house people say about that? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but they dance about it. They would dance
Speaker 1: around it, you know what. They would make an interesting
Speaker 1: TikTok and putting it together, and they would have the
Speaker 1: perfect lightning because yeah, they brought a photographer's light right
Speaker 1: and yeah, and they could use your your sound system
Speaker 1: to record themselves doing it exactly so. And by the way,
Speaker 1: fuck you to the person that said that your mic
Speaker 1: sounds better than mine on Twitter? All right? Uh speaking
Speaker 1: of Twitter, I want to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: uh G bay as real quick his his Twitter as
Speaker 1: germ g e r m b A easy. He tweeted
Speaker 1: me something that reminded me of my childhood growing up
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. If you grew up in in uh in
Speaker 1: any of the boroughs, I guess there was a game
Speaker 1: we used to play, which I'm thinking of playing now.
Speaker 1: I don't have a sidewalk on my street, but it
Speaker 1: was a great inexpensive sidewalk game. That. I guess you
Speaker 1: could play by yourself now since we're all quarantined, you
Speaker 1: couldn't play against anybody. Remember Scully Scully s k U
Speaker 1: l l Y. My grandfather used to play that. I'll
Speaker 1: go for yourself, okay, something like melting wax into bottle
Speaker 1: caps and yes, yes, yes, So you would either put
Speaker 1: glue or you'd melt crayons into bottle camps, and then
Speaker 1: you would draw on the sidewalks of New York. You
Speaker 1: have those square uh blocks right, it's all made up
Speaker 1: of They're like four by four squares on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: So you would you would take a box of four
Speaker 1: squares and you would use chalk. I guess you could
Speaker 1: use one square, but we'd like to make this, make
Speaker 1: it bigger, and you would put by the way, yeah
Speaker 1: google Scully s k U l O will you'll see it.
Speaker 1: You would make chalk outlines in certain spots like a
Speaker 1: game board one through one, two, three, four or five
Speaker 1: six boxes, and you would have to flick with your
Speaker 1: Some people do with their their first finger or the
Speaker 1: middle finger, and they flicked the caps to go from
Speaker 1: box one to box two, across the board to three diagonally.
Speaker 1: Then over the four and then you have to go
Speaker 1: like you know, and then get it into the box.
Speaker 1: But you could also blast your opponents caps off the board.
Speaker 1: This is obviously before video games or as prevalent as
Speaker 1: they are now, but it was a fun game. And
Speaker 1: and and uh and Mr Bayez asked me if I
Speaker 1: knew about it, and he's like, remember this game? So
Speaker 1: apparently you didn't play it. I guess you didn't play it.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard about it. And I know what it
Speaker 1: looks like. I guess. I guess is you inside playing
Speaker 1: with your easy bake oven at the time. But that's
Speaker 1: what the men melting into the pan for Scully. You
Speaker 1: know you were not, So what did he do? He
Speaker 1: send you a bunch of crayons and say, hey, melts down. No, no,
Speaker 1: But he was asking me if I if I remember
Speaker 1: the game, and I told him I still have the
Speaker 1: I still have the crayons, I still the bottle caps.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what, We're to melt the
Speaker 1: crayons into the bottle caps my high powered fucking light.
Speaker 1: It's gonna melt your face and I'm gonna laugh my
Speaker 1: ass off when you start. You want to bring you
Speaker 1: want to you want to bring Scully back, I don't
Speaker 1: want to. I wanted to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: to to uh, to our listener who is from the hood. Oh,
Speaker 1: speaking to the hood. Can we talk about graves end.
Speaker 1: Let's save that for next segment because we still have
Speaker 1: a couple of things in the area here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: forget all of it. All right, we have the two clips.
Speaker 1: I want to play. Well, yeah, before we do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? You still have Scully?
Speaker 1: So what I wanted to say was, why don't we
Speaker 1: bring back stop ball or or or punch ball with
Speaker 1: the blue ball, the spall the Spalding. It was pink
Speaker 1: the Yeah, the pink Spalding or the blue ball, the
Speaker 1: blue ball you play punch ball with. I think now
Speaker 1: we use the same pink ball. You have to explain
Speaker 1: to non New Yorkers. A Spalding is how New Yorker
Speaker 1: is called Spalding. It's Spaulding, which is amazing. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: for some reason, people in Brooklyn, maybe in the other Borrows,
Speaker 1: we call them Spauldin's. But they were made by Spaulding,
Speaker 1: like those Philly people calling it Rec's. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: get that anyway, So I I have since I only
Speaker 1: refer to Spauldin's when I'm referring to the old days,
Speaker 1: but they were made by Spaulding, and you would use
Speaker 1: that pink ball for a hundred different street games because
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood that's what you did. You played in
Speaker 1: the street. So either played skiball when you played when
Speaker 1: you use like a broomstick as your baseball bat punch
Speaker 1: ball what you literally like like you play baseball, but
Speaker 1: you're standing at the home plate, right, you serve it
Speaker 1: to yourself. You just and you just start punch. You
Speaker 1: punch the ball hard and you start running right, or
Speaker 1: you play slap ball if you didn't want to punch it.
Speaker 1: What about oh box ball? We just played box ball
Speaker 1: with two cities sidewalk. Also, um, it's like it's like tennis.
Speaker 1: Off you have played off the wall baseball? Yes, I
Speaker 1: forgot how to play. Okay, So off the wall baseball
Speaker 1: is you would have to throw the ball, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously have a blank wall, and then the person you're
Speaker 1: playing against would be like let's say ten fifteen feet
Speaker 1: back from the wall, and you would stand a couple
Speaker 1: of feet from the wall and you'd throw the ball
Speaker 1: onto the ground up off the wall, and then it
Speaker 1: would fly towards the area that you deemed was inbounds. Right,
Speaker 1: if you caught the ball off the wall as your
Speaker 1: opponent right, then you out. You got three outs. But
Speaker 1: if if the ball dropped, then however many times it
Speaker 1: bounced was how many how many bases you would get.
Speaker 1: So you would have to make a line on the
Speaker 1: wall that the ball had to go over, because otherwise
Speaker 1: you throw the ball against the low part of the wall,
Speaker 1: it would dribble, so you would that was off the
Speaker 1: wall baseball. Again, people could actually google these games box ball,
Speaker 1: slap off the wall, baseball, stoop ball was similar. That
Speaker 1: was the stoop a stoop If you don't know, it
Speaker 1: is like when you have like five steps, not a porch,
Speaker 1: when you had a few steps leading up to your
Speaker 1: front door. Yes, and people would hang out and sit
Speaker 1: on the steps or call up the stoop, I guess
Speaker 1: because people were stoop you know. So you would throw
Speaker 1: the ball off the steps the same thing like off
Speaker 1: to a baseball and you have to try to catch
Speaker 1: and yeah, you get all the points and then suicide
Speaker 1: asses up. One of our favorites we used to play
Speaker 1: that against a brick wall. That's scary. Explain asses up,
Speaker 1: asses up, suicide, asses up. Where you you would throw
Speaker 1: the ball at the wall and you'd catch it. Now,
Speaker 1: if you caught it on a fly, when it came
Speaker 1: off the ball, the person who threw it had to
Speaker 1: run to the wall. Or if you try to catch
Speaker 1: it and you miss it, then you have to go
Speaker 1: run toward the wall. And then whoever picks up the
Speaker 1: ball has to beam you as hard as you can
Speaker 1: and where where do they have to hit you? Scary?
Speaker 1: And then and then if you and then every time
Speaker 1: you got hit with the ball, now if you got
Speaker 1: if you made it to the wall before the ball
Speaker 1: hit you, it's very violent game. We've made it and
Speaker 1: we were using like a blue ball or a tennis ball.
Speaker 1: And if you made it to the wall before or
Speaker 1: you hit before it hit um, then you were fine,
Speaker 1: you were safe. But if they beat you with the
Speaker 1: ball wherever in your body, then you get a letter A.
Speaker 1: And then and then if you get you get hit again,
Speaker 1: it's S and and it's a S S E S
Speaker 1: or five three or five either as or S is
Speaker 1: And if it's spelled that out then every then you
Speaker 1: had to go stand against the wall and take your
Speaker 1: This is terrible now that I think about it. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you stand against the wall, bend over, and
Speaker 1: everyone got like take to take like a slap shot
Speaker 1: and just beating you in the ass of the ball. Okay,
Speaker 1: so adding to the list. Now, let me just run
Speaker 1: down the list. Two a light hype houses, Billie Eilish songs.
Speaker 1: Can't put furniture together, um oh, can't name a tire
Speaker 1: company and let other guys in the neighborhood being you
Speaker 1: in the ass. Okay, I'm good. I've painted a picture. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. Nothing wrong with that, man, whatever
Speaker 1: you're into, I'm good. Oh. Also, hit the penny? Did
Speaker 1: you ever play Hit the penny? Yes? Hit the penny?
Speaker 1: Google that one too. Yeah, you'd have to again the
Speaker 1: same ball with the same stupid ball that you had,
Speaker 1: and you had to listen. You would have the same
Speaker 1: ball for years unless it went down the sewer in
Speaker 1: Brody's neighborhood. You couldn't play the game because they kept
Speaker 1: picking the penny up and stealing it. Oh, I get
Speaker 1: it a jew reference. Well, for the record, I grew
Speaker 1: up in scaries I grew up in Scaries neighborhood. We
Speaker 1: were in the same neighborhood and I was one of
Speaker 1: only maybe three Jewish people in the entire neighborhood was
Speaker 1: all Italian. And the reason we had the pennies for
Speaker 1: the game was that we picked them up and we
Speaker 1: had them for the game. Dumbassy left. It's the leven
Speaker 1: from a minute ago. Hey, I want to play some
Speaker 1: of these clips that's going on in the world of
Speaker 1: of of politics, because that's where you grabbed these clips from. Well,
Speaker 1: no one of them is from politics, and one of
Speaker 1: them is from the news channel. Um, okay, So Christie
Speaker 1: Todd Whitman used to be the governor of New Jersey
Speaker 1: many years ago. She's a bright woman, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that what what the clip is I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: has an indication of her brightness. I'm just surprised that
Speaker 1: she said this thing. And not only did she say it,
Speaker 1: she said it twice. So in case you thought she slipped,
Speaker 1: she she she interrupted herself and said it again. So
Speaker 1: here's a clip of Christy Todd Whitman, former governor of
Speaker 1: New Jersey. See if you can figure out what she
Speaker 1: said wrong? How we reopen and how we do this
Speaker 1: because this coronavirus doesn't care about your political boundaries. They
Speaker 1: could care less. They could care less about one state
Speaker 1: or the other, and people travel between them. So yeah,
Speaker 1: oh man, Christie Todd Whitman says, the coronavirus could care less,
Speaker 1: could care less, could care less. It couldn't care less,
Speaker 1: thank you, Christy Todd Whitman. Now, and she's using personification though.
Speaker 1: I like that she's giving it real human thoughts and feelings.
Speaker 1: So maybe the coronavirus could care is what she's saying,
Speaker 1: because it it could care less, which means it does care.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Now this commercial, I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: a clip from I've seen it a hundred times. It's
Speaker 1: one of those commercials they must have gotten some kind
Speaker 1: of discount rate for so whenever they have no commercials
Speaker 1: or because people aren't advertising right now because of the
Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic um, it's probably gotten a good rate,
Speaker 1: a discount rate, so it's advertising like crazy. Now. I
Speaker 1: heard the guy say this, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe he said that. So I got this
Speaker 1: clip you're about to hear. It's for a company. Called
Speaker 1: the Farmer's Dog. Now, um I googled, I I searched
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and a lot of people were laughing about
Speaker 1: this commercial. But um, I wanna after this is over,
Speaker 1: I want to rip apart somebody on on Twitter who
Speaker 1: just tweeted something ridiculous. Doesn't make any sense anyway, this
Speaker 1: guy in the commercial. The whole point of the Farmer's
Speaker 1: Dog is that they have quality dog food, right, So
Speaker 1: this guy in the commercial, when you see it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tweet it out because somebody posted it on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I'll tweet the link out. You can probably find it
Speaker 1: on on YouTube. The Farmer's Dog. The guy in the
Speaker 1: commercial is trying to get a point across that he
Speaker 1: knows nothing about dogs. He got a dog, and he
Speaker 1: didn't realized that better dog food was better. He just thought,
Speaker 1: you know, he's like and then I realized, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: dog food has food in it. I mean, he honestly
Speaker 1: should never be allowed near a dog. But I want
Speaker 1: you to hear the qualities and the benefits of Farmer's
Speaker 1: Dog dog food and listen for one in particular. Go ahead, Scary.
Speaker 1: I've spent almost every minute with her sins. When I
Speaker 1: first brought her home, she was eating little brown pieces
Speaker 1: in the bag, and it was just what kind of
Speaker 1: came recommended. Just always thought dog food is dog food,
Speaker 1: and it really pieced together the dogs eat food. As
Speaker 1: soon as we brought the farmer's dog and her skin
Speaker 1: was better, she was more active, high quality poops if
Speaker 1: I can invest in. Okay, okay, So first of all,
Speaker 1: first of all, he's like, I didn't realize dog food
Speaker 1: meant that dogs eat food. That's what he said. He's like,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize when I heard dog food that that
Speaker 1: they eat food. Well, what the hell do they eat?
Speaker 1: He just figured they eat whatever crap is in the bag.
Speaker 1: He didn't realize that they that they That falls I
Speaker 1: gotta hear again. But but then listen to what his
Speaker 1: his The last thing he says, what why this food
Speaker 1: is good? Listen, I've spent almost every minute with her sins.
Speaker 1: When I first brought her home, she was eating little
Speaker 1: brown pieces in the bag, and it was just what
Speaker 1: kind of came recommended. Just always thought dog food is
Speaker 1: dog food, and it really pieced together. The dogs the food.
Speaker 1: As soon as we brought the farmer's dog and her
Speaker 1: skin was better, she was more active, high quality poops.
Speaker 1: I can okay, her skin was better. Her skin was better,
Speaker 1: she was more active. And then he says high quality poops,
Speaker 1: high quality poops, high quality poops. Is he analyzing the
Speaker 1: poops under a microscope? First of all, this is this
Speaker 1: one doesn't really The quality on this one's not so great.
Speaker 1: But is he judging it on taste? I don't understand.
Speaker 1: And first of all, he's he's already established he's an idiot, right,
Speaker 1: he's already established. He didn't realize, he didn't piece together
Speaker 1: that dog food was food, that dogs eat food. And
Speaker 1: then I'm supposed to take his word on the fact
Speaker 1: it's high quality food. And then I'm in high quality poops.
Speaker 1: I hear your dog in the background, by the way,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel I feel like they want some
Speaker 1: farmer's dog high quality poops. Now does this guy gauge
Speaker 1: his own poop? Like? Does he go, oh, I had
Speaker 1: I had Mexican food last night? Oh I had a
Speaker 1: low quality poop today? Who says that in a commercial
Speaker 1: by this dog food and your dog will have some
Speaker 1: high quality Yeah? Play it one more time please? Of course,
Speaker 1: how dumb this guy is? As when I first brought
Speaker 1: her home. She was eating little brown pieces in the bag,
Speaker 1: and it was just what kind of came recommended. Just
Speaker 1: always thought dog food is dog food, and it really
Speaker 1: piece together. The dogs eat food. As soon as we
Speaker 1: brought the farmer's dog and her skin was better, she
Speaker 1: was more active. High quality poops. He be talking about
Speaker 1: his girlfriend. He he could be. So let me read
Speaker 1: you some of the things on Twitter I found. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm only loosely paying attention, but I think I just
Speaker 1: heard the words high quality poops and a commercial the
Speaker 1: dog food. This guy wrote, there's a dog food commercial
Speaker 1: on the news that I ignore, but that line always
Speaker 1: breaks through the noise. I mean, what the fuck? Is
Speaker 1: this something dog people are concerned about? Are the poops
Speaker 1: not high quality enough? Another guy, Chris, the guy on
Speaker 1: this pet food commercial, just said his dog as high
Speaker 1: quality poops. Of all the things for which to be
Speaker 1: a connoisseur. Um, hold on, is that a Is that
Speaker 1: a dog food advertising high quality poops? Are you kidding me? Um?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, And this person wrote, um oh, now,
Speaker 1: this girl, So everybody's writing that they hear during the
Speaker 1: news during cable news shows. This girl, she wrote, there's
Speaker 1: this commercial on Roku that they play a million times
Speaker 1: about this guy and his dog's food, how he has
Speaker 1: high quality poops. Every time he says the poop part
Speaker 1: gets me every time. So I tweeted at her. Your
Speaker 1: correct because the commercial is not on Roku. The commercial
Speaker 1: that's where she's experiencing it. But unless it's because okay,
Speaker 1: So my question is does Roku have their own commercials?
Speaker 1: In other words, when you go to watch a show,
Speaker 1: does it make you watch an ad first? Because I
Speaker 1: have Roku and I don't think there's any commercials um
Speaker 1: that they make you watch. Yes, the answer is yes,
Speaker 1: you watch. When you watch, it's called O T T
Speaker 1: advertising um. And when you let's say you're watching CNN,
Speaker 1: but you're experiencing it through Apple TV, you're getting different
Speaker 1: commercials on there. Um. And so she's trying to say
Speaker 1: that she she saw it on Rocu, meaning Roku delivers
Speaker 1: you commercials. You can send companies, send commercials to the bomb.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, I get that. I get that
Speaker 1: there are commercials on Director, but they're not on the
Speaker 1: actual news show. She's watching the network carried by Roku.
Speaker 1: It's the Roku box the same way I heart radio
Speaker 1: runs ads. Hey, the same way you're hearing this on
Speaker 1: Spotify or Apple or wherever this podcast. But I don't
Speaker 1: get in commercials that were thrown in by the actual app.
Speaker 1: But as she's saying, it was thrown in by Roku Amazon.
Speaker 1: Will you watch television through Amazon firestick? I don't remember
Speaker 1: seeing commercials from Amazon. Uh, they're just commercials yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you don't know the source of those commercials. Some
Speaker 1: of them came because someone somewhere said I want to
Speaker 1: I want to advertise through Amazon Firestick, so they pay
Speaker 1: Amazon to run that commercial. Alright, Anyway, the point is
Speaker 1: high quality poops. Yes, that's it, high quality poops. Why
Speaker 1: were you about to go in on her for using
Speaker 1: the wrong language. No, I would never do that, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just I feel like I was going to I
Speaker 1: should have. Maybe I already deleted the tweet. Who's to say? Okay,
Speaker 1: I can tell you the reason why that you know
Speaker 1: I know this and I'm a connoisseur is because O
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're a connoisseur. Are you a connoisseur
Speaker 1: of high quality dog poops? Of high quality high quality poops? No?
Speaker 1: Because um, once one time I filmed a video with
Speaker 1: a high quality light. By the way, it was in
Speaker 1: a studio. And then all of a sudden, like three
Speaker 1: days later, somebody emails me and says, hey, I was
Speaker 1: I was watching CNN and I saw your Sloman's commercial
Speaker 1: And I said what and they're like yeah. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you didn't. I said, it's not on
Speaker 1: TV and I might gets only on the web. They're
Speaker 1: like no, They're like it was on CNN. So I
Speaker 1: marched into the sales manager's office. Uh, and I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm like, are they Are they running my Sloman's commercial
Speaker 1: on like my TV thing that I did for their
Speaker 1: web on on CNN. So then he says, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: this thing called O T T advertising where and Sloman's
Speaker 1: paid for all the commercial to go to all these
Speaker 1: other apps and things. So if they're watching it through
Speaker 1: Firestick or Amazon or Roku, they could be getting your
Speaker 1: commercials for Sloman's in the middle of Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: let me add to something you were bitching about a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. What were you upset about that
Speaker 1: apps when apps update? What were you said? But what
Speaker 1: did you just say? What did you say? Yes? You did.
Speaker 1: Now I gotta go back and listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: What you just said? Okay, go what did you just say? Continue?
Speaker 1: Didn't say anything? Go all right? I mumbled something continue.
Speaker 1: I hate you. Okay. You were upset about apps that
Speaker 1: they constantly update, and when you go to look at
Speaker 1: the apps, what they updated? What the problem was? What
Speaker 1: is it? They always say bugs and fixes, bugs and
Speaker 1: fixes right, But my favorite childhood cartoon growing up, he
Speaker 1: used to love watching bugs and fixes on Saturday mornings
Speaker 1: when bugs used to hit fixes over it had with
Speaker 1: an anvil. How great was that? I hate when they
Speaker 1: update apps and that's the only thing they introduced. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a whole rewrite here, a new look and
Speaker 1: new colors, some new features. Nothing always bugs and fixes.
Speaker 1: So I thought of you when I updated that one
Speaker 1: of the notepad apps on my phone, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, let me go see what's new about
Speaker 1: the notepad because it's really just a white notepad. You
Speaker 1: write on what could they have fixed or updated? Or
Speaker 1: what bugs? It just it opens up and you type
Speaker 1: on it, right like what could be wrong? So it
Speaker 1: says what's new last updated April? And you know what?
Speaker 1: It says optimization. Optimization that's no better than bugs and
Speaker 1: fixes that might even be even more useless. No, now
Speaker 1: my notepad is optimized. You know what this is? Now,
Speaker 1: this notepad is the box light of notepads. That's radic
Speaker 1: optimization on the not optimization. That's it. Um oh uh
Speaker 1: can we salute another hero? Absolutely? So. We've been talking
Speaker 1: for weeks. We know you listen in order, but in
Speaker 1: case this is your first time listening, welcome aboard. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about how amazing the medical professionals are. We
Speaker 1: we all acknowledge their heroes right now. Uh, and we
Speaker 1: can't do enough. Okay, sorry, you must be allergic to
Speaker 1: good setups anyway. So people have been texting in our
Speaker 1: morning show and I see tweets of people who want
Speaker 1: us to, you know, thank them. And a lot of
Speaker 1: them are absolutely worthy of being thanked. Um truck drivers
Speaker 1: who are delivering supplies they're away from their family for months.
Speaker 1: You know. We went down the list of people who
Speaker 1: are noble and doing a great job. Maybe not a
Speaker 1: hero level, but definitely worthwhile. But people are getting more
Speaker 1: and more creative. We're figuring out a way that their
Speaker 1: industry should be recognized. As hero level during this pandemic.
Speaker 1: We should play hero by Mariah Carey or hero by
Speaker 1: Enrique during this segment. Okay, well, I'm gonna you know what,
Speaker 1: for next week, I'll do your You are not a
Speaker 1: hero baby. You are not a hero baby. Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: you are not a hero baby. Continue, you are just
Speaker 1: doing your job. I'll do that for next week. That's excellent.
Speaker 1: I love me, So this person wrote. And now again,
Speaker 1: if if this person is listening, I'm sure you're doing
Speaker 1: a great job. I'm just scary. I want your opinion
Speaker 1: and the listener's opinion is this hero thank you level occupation? Again,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're doing a great job. But I don't
Speaker 1: want to diminish from the nurses and doctors who are
Speaker 1: the front line, and the police and the firefighters, the MS,
Speaker 1: the first responders, doctors, the nurses, the p A s R.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Can you please acknowledge can you please acknowledge
Speaker 1: the essential workers working in the water treatment industry. Without water,
Speaker 1: we can't fight COVID. Now exactly they're doing in the
Speaker 1: water treatment? Are they keeping the COVID out of the water? Okay,
Speaker 1: there are people. If it was a direct correlation, I
Speaker 1: understand the importance or they punching the clock and showing
Speaker 1: up every day hanging at the water treatment plant. I
Speaker 1: understand that that treating water so we can drink it.
Speaker 1: It's important. It's important every day of the year. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. It's it's non COVID time. But this guy
Speaker 1: is saying that that's more important because without water you
Speaker 1: can't fight COVID. It's like the guy who wanted us
Speaker 1: to thank car dealerships because they're providing cars and repairing
Speaker 1: cars for essential workers. I feel like people are stretching
Speaker 1: who should be thanked in this. I just yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's gotten out of control. You know, uh, you know
Speaker 1: you can't wash your hands without water. No. I get
Speaker 1: that if everybody's a hero, then nobody's a hero, and
Speaker 1: that's a problem. So we have to start like sorting
Speaker 1: it out, like we're picking through garbage and was saying, okay,
Speaker 1: this is this here stuff. You guys are all heroes,
Speaker 1: you ladies, these people, this group, you you're essential, but
Speaker 1: you're not then not a hero. I think I think
Speaker 1: we need to start distinguishing, otherwise I become desensitized to
Speaker 1: who exactly is a hero. Somebody do somebody Okay, I
Speaker 1: am you realized there's somebody out there right now going well,
Speaker 1: I do this for a living and I'm useless. No,
Speaker 1: you're not. Nobody's using You're not useless. That's been up
Speaker 1: your hero. We are not heroes, and we're not We
Speaker 1: don't want we don't want to be thanked. We don't
Speaker 1: want that badge. No, listen, if you if you laugh,
Speaker 1: and we can make you laugh during the day, we're right,
Speaker 1: that's gravy. No, we just we're just here to make
Speaker 1: you guys laugh. Or is it sauce. It's sauce because
Speaker 1: there's no meat juices in us that I think of. Well,
Speaker 1: that's that's the big difference. Gravy speak for yourself. No,
Speaker 1: you're apparently accusing me left and right this entire podcast. Well,
Speaker 1: I think I think the listeners have formed their own opinion.
Speaker 1: Thank you for much. When I we'll do the sauce
Speaker 1: and gravy thing next week. All right, Um, did you
Speaker 1: did you see that a couple of days ago was
Speaker 1: Bad Appreciation Day? Unfortunate bad timing. So I tweeted out
Speaker 1: happy bad Appreciation Day. Just don't appreciate them by eating them? Right,
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of funny responses, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to give a shout out to Leah, who's one
Speaker 1: of our regular UM D m R s and tweeters.
Speaker 1: Um she's a lucky mom x x x Y. She wrote,
Speaker 1: what if they're doust and catchup? See I have I
Speaker 1: have a problem with that. Now that's a tough one.
Speaker 1: So I wrote back, maybe like I might if if
Speaker 1: you give me a bat with ketchup, that would be
Speaker 1: a tough decision for me. You love Hines that much?
Speaker 1: I love Oh. By the way, speaking of Hines, I
Speaker 1: think I told you. I tweeted out a picture of
Speaker 1: the Hinds bottle and I said it's empty. I need
Speaker 1: to go shopping. People were like, oh, you know we
Speaker 1: have Hunts in the house. Like I'm out, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I would move, I would move it. Isn't that a
Speaker 1: Isn't that a content house on TikTok Hunts Hunt's House. Jeez,
Speaker 1: you just it's just some Yeah, that's the hype. The
Speaker 1: Hinds house. Yeah, the Hins house and the Hunt's House.
Speaker 1: That's where all people like condiments go to come up
Speaker 1: with ideas of things to put catch up on. They're
Speaker 1: making a lot of money. By the way, if I
Speaker 1: had a TikTok video and I was looking at have
Speaker 1: a sponsor, I would definitely slip behind sketch a bottle
Speaker 1: into the dance. Of course, in fact, I may have
Speaker 1: to put the hin sketcher bottle into my elvistre in
Speaker 1: morning show video that we're gonna film for next week.
Speaker 1: I have to work that. I haven't Brodie. I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here and I'm staring at a box. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: frontiture you're not putting together. No, next to that box
Speaker 1: is another box, and it's been sitting here for about
Speaker 1: three weeks now. Another box. It's a box of your
Speaker 1: fucking diet grape soda that you told me you were
Speaker 1: gonna come pick up here because you don't want it
Speaker 1: to get stolen. Side. I took it from your office
Speaker 1: chair and brought it to my apartment. I's been sitting here.
Speaker 1: You know what I wanna do? You know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go put my side table together and I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: up the box and diet grape and I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: a can of diet grape on the side table. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stare at the sun and slurp down some
Speaker 1: fucking diet grape because it's now as good as mine.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to do a Kesha cannonball video where
Speaker 1: you bring out a can of soda as your sponsor
Speaker 1: on TikTok No. I'll tell you ever gonna come by here,
Speaker 1: I will come by today or tomorrow and pick it
Speaker 1: up at your front door. I'll text you what I'm
Speaker 1: coming over, and then it's intact. I have not I
Speaker 1: have not taken into I was waiting until my METS
Speaker 1: mask showed up because I wanted to come to your
Speaker 1: your apartment outside in the METS mask. That's really why
Speaker 1: I didn't come. Can I can I just draw at
Speaker 1: you one more app that we're talking about apps because
Speaker 1: I don't a minute a million at me. I got
Speaker 1: nothing but time because we do have to roll, but
Speaker 1: you will roll. I have a lot of rants for
Speaker 1: next week, a lot of them, um and they're old
Speaker 1: trunk store related anyway. So I want to talk about
Speaker 1: an app in a way I save money and then
Speaker 1: I'm good for this. I'm good for this episode. Have
Speaker 1: you seen the commercial for the Calm app c A
Speaker 1: L M car? Okay, so if you haven't seen the commercial.
Speaker 1: You can look it up online. You're not gonna are
Speaker 1: you gonna rip into them because we're trying to get
Speaker 1: them as a sponsor. No, No, I think it's a
Speaker 1: great idea. But here's my problem as a guy from
Speaker 1: Brooklyn who is used to like subway trains going out
Speaker 1: by outside my window and sirens and you know, uh,
Speaker 1: people screaming and yelling at today like there's never any quiet. Right.
Speaker 1: I watched this calm app and the app is like
Speaker 1: a soft spoken voice and then it says for thirty
Speaker 1: seconds it does nothing. Right. It's like a thirty second
Speaker 1: commercial of just like a tree and silence, and it's
Speaker 1: supposed to calm you down. Right. The app is designed
Speaker 1: to calm you down. Maybe it's because I'm Brooklyn, right.
Speaker 1: The commercial upsets me. The commercial agitates me more than
Speaker 1: anything that it doesn't because I get so us that
Speaker 1: nothing's going on. Then I get I start to shake.
Speaker 1: The calm commercial is stressing me out? Is that is
Speaker 1: that insane? Very? I? I actually uh used it. Producer,
Speaker 1: our producer, Sam introduced it to me and it's on
Speaker 1: my phone as we speak. It helped me get to sleep.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful now. I haven't tried the app. I haven't
Speaker 1: tried relaxing. Listen, I'd love him as a sponsor. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the app itself is probably great because
Speaker 1: I haven't been sleeping at night, all of us. And
Speaker 1: now CBD. Let's get some CBD oil and you stop it.
Speaker 1: Stop it does THHC and it's it's good. Stop it,
Speaker 1: stop it. I got some gummies. You're on the border line.
Speaker 1: You're on the border line of sponsorship. Stop it. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to mention it. Stop it. Not mentioning this sponsor,
Speaker 1: all right, So if the if, the if, remember you
Speaker 1: you catch me every time every time I throw a
Speaker 1: client name in there, you always call me out with
Speaker 1: the jingle. The point is, if the Calm app commercial
Speaker 1: stresses you, out, tweet us and let us know. Also,
Speaker 1: speaking of tweeting, when you tweet at David Brody and
Speaker 1: at the Brooklyn Boys, you should also tweet at Scary
Speaker 1: Jones because he sees that I think quicker than he
Speaker 1: sees at the Brooklyn Boys. So sometimes they address you
Speaker 1: and they'll say, at David Brodie at the Brooklyn Boys, Hey,
Speaker 1: Scary Brodie was right. I want to make sure you have.
Speaker 1: It's got to be at Scary Jones. I'll see that first, right,
Speaker 1: I won't see it otherwise, right, So please about me.
Speaker 1: Don't include me, don't we do? We do see the
Speaker 1: at the Brooklyn Boys, but we like check that weekly,
Speaker 1: so always include that because I helped spread the brand.
Speaker 1: But if you want Scary to see it, please include
Speaker 1: him in that. Lastly, I found two ways to save
Speaker 1: money I wanted to share with everybody before we get
Speaker 1: out of here for the week. I always love a
Speaker 1: good way to save money now that there's no extra
Speaker 1: money to be had, and no no no gigs. Right
Speaker 1: by the way, if your company wants if your company
Speaker 1: wants to sponsor our podcast, because companies, you'll notice major
Speaker 1: companies right now, we're not doing any like live endorsements.
Speaker 1: If you have a company that you would like us
Speaker 1: to sponsor or a product you sell on Amazon, hit
Speaker 1: us up scared, give out our email address real quick,
Speaker 1: The Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. I will
Speaker 1: tell you right now that for a fee that you
Speaker 1: will find relatively reasonable, you can sponsor us on episode
Speaker 1: rather and we will give you a solid amount of promotion.
Speaker 1: So email us and we will get back to you
Speaker 1: with race. I got I got a better idea, Brody.
Speaker 1: A lightbulb just went off in my head turned on.
Speaker 1: The idea is not there is a lightbulb. It's a
Speaker 1: three way light bulb. Okay, what's your idea before I
Speaker 1: take Okay, here we go. What's your idea? Why not
Speaker 1: have our slices be our sales people earn money from home,
Speaker 1: get some new clients on the air, lead us to
Speaker 1: the money, lead us to that big money, and then
Speaker 1: we'll cut the them in on it and give them money,
Speaker 1: give them cash a percentage. So find yourself. So let's so,
Speaker 1: let's say your uncle worked for State Farm and you've
Speaker 1: got State Farmed to advertise with us, you would get
Speaker 1: a percentage of that I got you correct? Or if
Speaker 1: you had a national like fruit drink company that you're
Speaker 1: you're can you're your next door neighbor or people someone
Speaker 1: in your life, your cousin handles handles the advertising for
Speaker 1: a major company or just or is the CEO of
Speaker 1: the company or a CMO or or or you know whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're like, look, you listen. Think of the richest
Speaker 1: people in your life right now. If you're listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast, help us out because we we all know
Speaker 1: we all are you and me and people a lot
Speaker 1: of people listening to this. We're just we're okay, we're
Speaker 1: doing okay, but we're not. We're just getting by. Speak
Speaker 1: for yourself. I'm buyingrophog. This guy's I didn't decide. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they just happen. So so the point is, by the way,
Speaker 1: my wife, my wife, apparently me, I didn't know this.
Speaker 1: She told my kids which one was planned and which
Speaker 1: ones weren't. Oh my god, no, yeah, we gotta talk
Speaker 1: about that next week. But next week, please write that down.
Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to have the listeners make money
Speaker 1: for themselves. So you may not own a business, you
Speaker 1: may not be, but maybe you know you have access
Speaker 1: to somebody big business. I think we've got it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no, no no, I want to. Let's lets get them in
Speaker 1: touch with us. If they wanted up becoming a sponsor
Speaker 1: of our podcast, we'll give them a percentage whatever they
Speaker 1: whatever that client spends with us. How about Okay, but
Speaker 1: I have to say no scamming. So if it's your company,
Speaker 1: we're not giving you a findest fee for advertising your
Speaker 1: own company that you found yourself. That's sam right, you
Speaker 1: can't do yeah, don't do that. Okay. So two ways,
Speaker 1: two ways that we saved money. Um uh okay, uh okay.
Speaker 1: So I called my my insurance company, and UM, I
Speaker 1: told him I wasn't driving my cars because we're not
Speaker 1: we're not driving to work, right, we're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: They're sitting in the garage. And uh, why am I
Speaker 1: paying full price for my car insurance if the cars
Speaker 1: are on on the road. They said, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: They gave me um fifty dollars off for each car
Speaker 1: per month, and most car companies, insurance companies, if you
Speaker 1: call them, are giving you fifteen percent off for six months.
Speaker 1: So I got the fifteen percent off because of the
Speaker 1: pandemic and fifty dollars a month because I told him
Speaker 1: I wasn't using my car. How about that? Wow, that's
Speaker 1: great idea. You're welcome. And here's my other my other one,
Speaker 1: so Direct TV, who I love most of the time.
Speaker 1: They have so if I want to get my local
Speaker 1: sports stations, there's AE so I can get s N
Speaker 1: Y and YES Network and then they include all the
Speaker 1: regional sports networks around the country, so I also I
Speaker 1: get MSG in New York. This I think three or
Speaker 1: four local sports channels that you pay wherever you live
Speaker 1: in the country. You probably pay that fee to get
Speaker 1: your local channels. Right, Well, there's no sports, so I
Speaker 1: pay for s n Y to watch met games and
Speaker 1: to watch the baseball shows. I know where you're going
Speaker 1: with this, so like it. So I called Direct TV
Speaker 1: and I said, you charge me nine eighty nine for
Speaker 1: sports networks. There's no sports. So they took off for
Speaker 1: last month, this month, and next month. A great way
Speaker 1: to save money. And they will, really they will, really,
Speaker 1: they re analyze it on June one, and if there's
Speaker 1: no sports in June, I will save my ten dollars
Speaker 1: again in June. How about that? How about that? So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm teaching you how to make money with us,
Speaker 1: and then Brodie's teaching how to save money. This is amazing.
Speaker 1: This is the greatest. This is the greatest podcast ever.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, a reminder, go please go
Speaker 1: back to not downloading the episodes, and if you if
Speaker 1: you're gonna listen more than once, then listen again on
Speaker 1: the app. If you download it for the first listen,
Speaker 1: no problem, but for subsequent listens. We really want to
Speaker 1: break the top ten again, and it's our it's our
Speaker 1: fall for posts. Listen, listen across every platform, Spotify, iTunes,
Speaker 1: it all goes back to her radio because they're all counts.
Speaker 1: The big bosses are really looking at podcasts right now.
Speaker 1: And I know we waited until Saturday to put this
Speaker 1: podcast off. So whatever you guys can do to help
Speaker 1: get us a few more plays, we'd appreciate it. I'm
Speaker 1: making your money here and Brodie saving your money. People
Speaker 1: know they can trust us, and you know why they
Speaker 1: can trust us because we're from Brooklyns Boys. That's a
Speaker 1: reason not to trust us. Boys,
