Speaker 3: it came out. Anyway. Uh yeah, I was just like
Speaker 3: what he said, I called you by your last name.
Speaker 3: I have a very My last name tends to get
Speaker 3: people to call me that. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Well, around these parts, all the Anthonys are called by
Speaker 2: the last names. That's how I became scary scary every
Speaker 2: scary for the wind, you know, all the you know
Speaker 2: Anthony LaSala is lsala you know, well.
Speaker 3: They could they couldn't call you Brooklyn Anthony because it
Speaker 3: was like twelve of you that would be Brooklyn Anthony.
Speaker 2: Right and then and then, but all the common name people,
Speaker 2: the John's, the Mikes, the Vinnie's, the Vetos, the sALS,
Speaker 2: all of us.
Speaker 3: The big the big eight names of Brooklyn, the big
Speaker 3: of our old neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh so this here we go on a tangent.
Speaker 3: Oh, I hate those, Joe, did you obviously obvious paches?
Speaker 2: You know, but obviously the drone story is nationwide, even though.
Speaker 3: There are you going to drone on about the story now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though they're being flown all over you know,
Speaker 2: New Jersey. They've been spotted around New Jersey, New York,
Speaker 2: the Jersey Shore and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But it counts as New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole area. Nobody knows where they're coming from.
Speaker 2: There's all these there's all these thoughts. Everyone's uh, you know,
Speaker 2: speculating as a vamp to try and.
Speaker 3: Well, why are you talking about that? Everybody now is
Speaker 3: filming them. Yes, Like, first of all, your video is
Speaker 3: not original anymore. We've all seen a hundred videos of
Speaker 3: the drone. Second of all, yeah, I would say at
Speaker 3: least a third of the time they're posting videos of
Speaker 3: private planes. Yeah, yeah, planes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's definitely some some drone footage for sure.
Speaker 3: So oh absolutely, But say we get it this drones.
Speaker 3: They're all over the place. We get it. Okay, so.
Speaker 2: They somebody sent me this and I'm dead from it.
Speaker 3: This is what drone footage. This is real video and
Speaker 3: audio folks, great on an audio podcast of.
Speaker 2: How Staten Island people respond and react to the drones.
Speaker 3: Did you see this video? No, but I imagine it's
Speaker 3: with profanity a lot of it. Yeah, this is this
Speaker 3: is great, This is great. Get the fuck out of
Speaker 3: my airspace. It's meat. I could doom. That's see. Ain't
Speaker 3: that's the drones? A drone can't go that high?
Speaker 2: Brondsted me, what is that? That? Ain't no fucking plane
Speaker 2: as no fucking plane, Dan Claus.
Speaker 3: Yo, it's moving, it's going back and forth. It's going off. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's going off. You going on. You can't get no
Speaker 3: light on.
Speaker 2: That is footage. Now, these are people. These are somebody
Speaker 2: had the phone, like you know, towards this sky.
Speaker 3: They were.
Speaker 2: It was definitely talking about the drones that everyone's been seeing.
Speaker 2: And the camera's all shaky, and one.
Speaker 3: Of those guys was named Tony if not three, this
Speaker 3: is and this is on It was on Staten Island.
Speaker 2: According to the video, it really was authentically on Staten Island.
Speaker 2: And I would have to agree hearing their accents, that's
Speaker 2: that's Stetton Island.
Speaker 3: So Iklahoma.
Speaker 2: No, at first I thought it was. At first I
Speaker 2: thought it was like this is how Staten Island people
Speaker 2: would hear the drones and see the drone. This is
Speaker 2: their commentary. But you know, because in a lot of
Speaker 2: times it would be like a fake, it would be
Speaker 2: like a joke. No, that is an actual footage from
Speaker 2: someone because you know, I know how I know is
Speaker 2: I see the marry on the half shell out in
Speaker 2: the front lawn, and then and then Santa Claus and
Speaker 2: the reindeer and the lights and all that, and then
Speaker 2: they have the whole the houses are row houses all
Speaker 2: lit up for Christmas. It definitely looks like a Staten
Speaker 2: Island house. So how great is that?
Speaker 3: That's great? Yeah, I'd hit it with a bat if
Speaker 3: it came lower. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was mentioning earlier about mistaken identity. Did you ever
Speaker 2: do this?
Speaker 3: You ever post something on social and you tag the
Speaker 3: wrong person?
Speaker 2: And you I mean, you're with the person, with a
Speaker 2: couple of people, you take a picture and then you
Speaker 2: you post it and then you tag. Last night, I
Speaker 2: was at Z one Hunter's jingle Ball, which came to
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, and I was posting a picture with
Speaker 2: one of our sales people, Jesse, and I like Jesse.
Speaker 2: Jesse came up to me. It was with Garrett, so
Speaker 2: we I'll take a picture real quick. I said, sure,
Speaker 2: we took a selfie and then she sends it to
Speaker 2: me and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3: This is cute.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put this up in my story right now.
Speaker 2: So I post it up in my story. I tag Jesse,
Speaker 2: I tag Gart right, and then I tag who I
Speaker 2: thought was our friend Scott Berlin.
Speaker 3: His wife Stacy.
Speaker 2: So because I saw Stacy last night and to my credit,
Speaker 2: she was wearing something similar, and she looked similar with
Speaker 2: long black hair. So and I wrote, at Stacy Berlin
Speaker 2: or you know whatever, and I attacked her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you give her home address too?
Speaker 2: Listen, she's she's awesome anyway, point is she's so. I
Speaker 2: put it up, and then Jesse was like.
Speaker 3: What are you doing.
Speaker 2: I said, huh, that's not Stacy, that's Stephanie. I said, Stephanie.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, and I took the tag back.
Speaker 2: I deleted the post and I reposted the picture with
Speaker 2: the correct tags.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: It's one of those face palm moments. But I don't
Speaker 2: know if I caught it early enough for Stacy to
Speaker 2: not see it or whatever.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I Stacy saw it and got insulted.
Speaker 3: But all middle aged white women looked the same to you.
Speaker 2: But isn't it weird that, I mean, maybe just in
Speaker 2: out a line of work, and maybe just because I
Speaker 2: was at an event where there's so many people in
Speaker 2: my face and everything's a blur that I don't remember
Speaker 2: taking a picture I took. I remember taking a picture,
Speaker 2: I just didn't remember that it was one person and
Speaker 2: not the other. I really thought I was taking a
Speaker 2: picture with our friend's wife, and uh, kind of embarrassing
Speaker 2: now because I kind of I don't know who I'm insulting.
Speaker 2: You know, one person's gonna feel offended of those.
Speaker 3: Two, but still better than doing it in person. I
Speaker 3: did that today again at pickleball today. There are two
Speaker 3: guys that are very heavy. They're not related and our friends.
Speaker 3: They're just both very heavy. Right, let's just call them
Speaker 3: Pete and Charlie. Okay, I see Pete. I'm playing with Pete,
Speaker 3: and I go, hey, nice shot, Charlie. Now is that
Speaker 3: beefsteak Charlie. Yeah, I don't think very good. I don't
Speaker 3: think he heard me, but clearly the only way you
Speaker 3: would miss up those two names as you were thinking,
Speaker 3: that's one of the fat guys I'm playing with. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So I felt bad, but I don't think he heard me.
Speaker 3: And then like I immediately was like, let's go a
Speaker 3: get Pete. Yeah, Like I covered it because I realized
Speaker 3: what I had done. Yeah, So, uh, I did the say.
Speaker 2: I did that to a a comedian that was in
Speaker 2: studio with that friend, Jim Kurt, earlier in the week.
Speaker 3: He had a hat on, he.
Speaker 2: Had glasses, and he had like scruff beard and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. And he's like, hey, he wasn't nice to
Speaker 2: meet you. And I coul date and our friend Trevor
Speaker 2: introduced me to who it was, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you goes hey, what's up? I said? I said, oh,
Speaker 2: and and then I said, okay, cool. I'm like, ah, well,
Speaker 2: I a good seeing you, Jim. I thought I was
Speaker 2: referring to Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 3: It was you. It was Tom Poppa. Tom was getting
Speaker 3: to like Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 2: No, but like the way he had like a coat
Speaker 2: on and a hat, and.
Speaker 3: That'll do it. Yeah. It takes the glass blonde, balding
Speaker 3: guy and looks like Tom Poppa's on any of those things.
Speaker 3: And he goes Tom. I'm like, oh, yeah, of course Tom. Yes.
Speaker 3: But I'm like, do now you're gonna tell me that
Speaker 3: me mistaken one old Jets quarterback from behind another one
Speaker 3: is terrible. But to the face of someone you had
Speaker 3: been introduced to, you called him the name of a
Speaker 3: comedian who looks nothing like him.
Speaker 2: Comedians look alike. No, I just like I had Jim
Speaker 2: Gaffigan on the brain. I'm like, oh, all right, Jim.
Speaker 3: You're lucky. You didn't say like if he said to you, uh,
Speaker 3: imagine you took a picture of him and tag Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 2: Right, so well, I mean, you know, and it's not
Speaker 2: even Stacy Berliner.
Speaker 3: He can't even get in my brain. He can't even
Speaker 3: like he can't even know that.
Speaker 2: He does not know that I he does not know
Speaker 2: that I was thinking of was Jim gaffickan because they never.
Speaker 3: Saw one syllable guy's name, you like Tom Jimmy, like
Speaker 3: it's something short, it's Tom. You know Tom. Papa's very
Speaker 3: good friends with Seinfeld. They did a TV show.
Speaker 2: Togain right, well, you know he it was, but you
Speaker 2: know how like you know, it gets all the time.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, Jimmy Fallon, you know with Jimmy.
Speaker 2: Kimmel, they get yeah, but you call him Jimmy, right,
Speaker 2: but they always people mix up the Jimmy's a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But if he said, if you said to Jimmy
Speaker 3: Fallon and thinking he was Jimmy Kimmel, you said hey Jimmy,
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh fuck, I met and sorry, Jimmy,
Speaker 3: I meant Jimmy. I was thinking to Jimmy Kimmel, it's
Speaker 3: Jimmy it's fine.
Speaker 2: Who, by the way, was at does he Jigglebawl yesterday
Speaker 2: as a surprise guest Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Fallen Ball of course, because he's always got a booker
Speaker 3: record to promote.
Speaker 2: Well, he was promoting uh you know, well, rap Me
Speaker 2: was last year's single that he did with Megan Trainer,
Speaker 2: which is a Christmas song. But he's got a new song,
Speaker 2: he's got another children's book. I think he's also got
Speaker 2: his own channel on Sirius XM. And he's got that
Speaker 2: TV special that he that ran on NBC after the
Speaker 2: tree lighting where he had a video with the Megan Trainer.
Speaker 2: It's called Wrap Me Up. So she did that song
Speaker 2: as part of her set and he came out.
Speaker 3: Which is cool. Dude. Jimmy is is merch man him,
Speaker 3: He really is. He's the best. I love him for it.
Speaker 3: He's so nicest guy. So all right, and I.
Speaker 2: Will I'll tell you this as we go to break
Speaker 2: and the slices will appreciate this. So we were in
Speaker 2: that big broadcast room.
Speaker 3: Hold one second, did you take a picture with Jimmy
Speaker 3: found not last night? Now, I have plenty, I got
Speaker 3: plenty of pictures. I have had an opportunity, Jimmy Kimmel
Speaker 3: very good. I had had a chance to.
Speaker 2: But we were in this broad broadcast area backstage where
Speaker 2: there's all these lights facing a stage, a little mini stage,
Speaker 2: and that's where Elvis, you know, does the stand ups,
Speaker 2: where he does interviews whatever. And then once once they
Speaker 2: dropped the microphones, explaining to the slices, once they dropped
Speaker 2: the mics, that's where they take.
Speaker 3: The pictures right then and there.
Speaker 2: So everyone was taking taking turns taking pictures with Jimmy.
Speaker 2: And I didn't want to go up there. I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know, it's hot under these lights. He's got to go.
Speaker 3: I don't care. I have a lot of pictures with Jimmy.
Speaker 2: Seriously, I had, I could have walked up on that
Speaker 2: stage and taken one. There was an opportunity insteady now,
Speaker 2: but pause. Last week Jimmy came on the show and
Speaker 2: a lot of slices who listened to the Big Show
Speaker 2: heard Elvish the weird segment.
Speaker 3: Yes, Elvis said, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Scary gets very nervous over his child childhood idols
Speaker 2: weird Al. And the way that came up is because
Speaker 2: weird Al is featured on the New Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Kimmel, Oh my god, I did it.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon album right with with with the the They
Speaker 2: did a.
Speaker 3: Poke on New Year's E've Poka together yea, of course.
Speaker 2: So when it came up on the show, Elvis was like,
Speaker 2: you know, Scary gets very nervous around weird now. And
Speaker 2: then he played the sound of me talking about weird
Speaker 2: al and stumbling all over my words like I am
Speaker 2: right now, you.
Speaker 3: Know, and Fallon got like he got like beligerent with
Speaker 3: you that you were such a dude. Yeah, so here
Speaker 3: we are now.
Speaker 2: Fast forward a week later, he's up on this little
Speaker 2: mini stage, yes, last night taking all these pictures.
Speaker 3: He comes off the stage and comes over to me.
Speaker 3: I didn't want it. Wasn't even gonna say hello to him.
Speaker 3: I was kind of in the background.
Speaker 2: He goes, he comes walking over to me, he goes
Speaker 2: Scary hugging and kissing me, and I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is some great street cred by everybody's seeing Jimmy come
Speaker 2: to me and him at the airport.
Speaker 3: Where everybody you like called me out like scary, sim
Speaker 3: what's up? And then very nice.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking like, okay, that's fun. And then he turns around.
Speaker 2: He goes, hey, man, did you get to meet weird
Speaker 2: Al yet?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, no, not yet, he goes.
Speaker 2: He goes, You're gonna stumble all over your words when
Speaker 2: you meet weird Al, like you embarrassed me in front
Speaker 2: of the whole room of page.
Speaker 3: He should have. He should have you on the show
Speaker 3: with weird Al and play the audio. That would be clutch.
Speaker 3: You should have said that to him, that, Jimmy, because
Speaker 3: you know we it is gonna was gonna come on.
Speaker 3: Of course he is. Of course he is. You should have.
Speaker 3: You should have the people at the morning show who
Speaker 3: reach out to Jimmy and book him on the show,
Speaker 3: reach out and say that'd be a great bit. I
Speaker 3: bet you, Jimmy.
Speaker 2: Jimmy would have me on its off, not as a guest,
Speaker 2: but obviously like one of the he'll cut to me
Speaker 2: or something like that.
Speaker 3: No, he should have you on in studio to meet
Speaker 3: we at Al and then play the clip. It'd be
Speaker 3: great for national. And so, by the way, when Elvis
Speaker 3: set the clip up, he goes, oh, this was a
Speaker 3: clip from somebody else's interview. Scary jumped into someone else's interview.
Speaker 3: It was my interview at weird Al with you. That's right,
Speaker 3: it was. It was a brook who grabbed that audio audio.
Speaker 3: It was a Brooklyn Boys. It was a Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 2: No it was not.
Speaker 3: It was you, me and Ronnie interviewing weird Al. Oh
Speaker 3: was it for the off air show. No, it was you,
Speaker 3: me and Ronnie interviewing weird Al. Just just couldn't interview
Speaker 3: him interview right, because he was available and and he
Speaker 3: didn't he didn't fit with Elvis's schedule. And was that's right,
Speaker 3: that's how we got that audio. And you said, Brodie,
Speaker 3: delete that. I got to delete that. I gotta edit
Speaker 3: that out without airing that. I said, okay, so I
Speaker 3: I What I did was I bounced the audio out
Speaker 3: of pro Tools, meaning I converted it to an MP
Speaker 3: three onto the network drive. I sent it to another
Speaker 3: studio so he couldn't get the original audio, and then
Speaker 3: he edited what was a copy of the original audio,
Speaker 3: and he's like, oh, that'll never air. No one over here,
Speaker 3: that that's embarrassing. And of course Ronnie and I already
Speaker 3: grabbed it, so it's it's permanent audio. Because I thought
Speaker 3: to hide it and duplicate it real quick. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 3: thanks for jumping in on someone else's interview.
Speaker 2: It's so speaking of ze one hunter jingle Ball, I
Speaker 2: went to shopping. I said, you know what, this is
Speaker 2: the one time of year I splurge. You know me, Brody,
Speaker 2: I'm not. I don't have a passion for fashion.
Speaker 3: I just oh, oh, that's you have a passion for
Speaker 3: bougie fashion. Sometimes I do sometimes, but one hundred dollars
Speaker 3: tie dyed shirt.
Speaker 2: I go seasons at a time without buying new clothes,
Speaker 2: and then it's like, okay, and you know people, you
Speaker 2: know when they go on vacation the whole summer and
Speaker 2: then they put all the pictures up and they call
Speaker 2: it a photo dump, and they.
Speaker 3: Here's a here's a November dump. That's me. Make sure
Speaker 3: you dump.
Speaker 2: No, that's me with clothing I'm going to buy. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I gotta just do it all at once, everything like
Speaker 2: put all in Well, yeah, but that makes no sense.
Speaker 2: Scary because the slices hear me out, what scary go
Speaker 2: and spends a ton of money on clothing for jingle Ball.
Speaker 3: Right, That's where I was. That's where I was going
Speaker 3: with this hold on and for the holidays. Then he
Speaker 3: does his weight loss program in January. Then he's too
Speaker 3: small for six months, nothing fits him, so it's a
Speaker 3: year before you can wear this stuff again. And he's like,
Speaker 3: that's a year old. I'm not wearing it right. Well,
Speaker 3: I'll say this.
Speaker 2: Because I don't spend a whole lot during the year
Speaker 2: on clothes and whatever the case.
Speaker 3: When it comes to occasions like jingle Ball, I want
Speaker 3: to do something. Sure, outragees abroad a nice outfit for
Speaker 3: jingle Ball.
Speaker 2: Everybody, everybody has to do something, you know, because you
Speaker 2: know we aren't. We're going to get a look that night,
Speaker 2: maybe get a moment and.
Speaker 3: You're on the page photo ops.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his old kinds of things, and you know, you know,
Speaker 2: you got to compete with Elvis. Elvis is always looking sharp,
Speaker 2: always best dressed in the room. And I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to upstage him in any way, but.
Speaker 3: I hand upstage.
Speaker 2: But you don't like, if you don't try, you're gonna
Speaker 2: look that much worse next to him. So you just
Speaker 2: got to kind of come close.
Speaker 3: So you don't. I've been a designated fugly friend.
Speaker 2: Right, So you want to see like you can You're
Speaker 2: you're kind of in the ballpark and competing. Uh so
Speaker 2: I basically went to I went to Bloomingdal's. I'll tell you,
Speaker 2: I don't care not a sponsor. And every time I
Speaker 2: go to Bloomingdal's, I always and ladies you probably know this,
Speaker 2: maybe you guys some guys too.
Speaker 3: Bloomingdale's in the in the tour section, they have a
Speaker 3: you know wait, no wait it was even Marcus. It
Speaker 3: was not Bloomingdal's even even worse.
Speaker 2: So the worst customers they do have, they do have
Speaker 2: a sale rack where they throw shoes, where they line
Speaker 2: all the shoes up next to each other on a
Speaker 2: rack with all right, but all of the shoes together,
Speaker 2: you know, in random sizes, and have a party where
Speaker 2: you know, you don't get all the special treatment of
Speaker 2: the lither sofa area with the with the rug and
Speaker 2: the sit down there, but this is the area where
Speaker 2: the sail rack and the clearance is. So to humor
Speaker 2: my self, I always go there first, like maybe they
Speaker 2: have my size today, brody. When if you ever went
Speaker 2: to a clearance rack of anything and found you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, not only is this my size, but
Speaker 2: it's awesome and I want to buy it.
Speaker 3: Hold on a second, did you just ask me how
Speaker 3: often I go to the clearance rack.
Speaker 2: No, how often, Brody. Both things need to be true.
Speaker 2: You go to the clearance rack and you find your size.
Speaker 3: Okay, see how often you go to Okay, But here's
Speaker 3: the thing about the clearance rack slices. Back me up here.
Speaker 3: If you see a seven, not a size seven, but
Speaker 3: on one to ten a seven on the clearance track,
Speaker 3: it's a twelve, you might not have bought it at
Speaker 3: full price, Like, that's not really my style. You see
Speaker 3: it on the clearance track, You're like, oh, it's my size.
Speaker 3: I'm buying it when I when I go to Nordstrom rack, yeah,
Speaker 3: I buy shit that fits me, whether I like it
Speaker 3: or not. So yeah. And if you if you nail it,
Speaker 3: if you see something, yeah you gotta buy it.
Speaker 2: So I.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, I never see anything in myself.
Speaker 3: It's almost like a joke.
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, So I walked into Neemen and
Speaker 2: I said, let me go to the clearance rack, let
Speaker 2: me see what they have first before I started spending
Speaker 2: all this crazy. I mean even but but you even
Speaker 2: know that with Kature crazy, You know these designers, even
Speaker 2: though it's on the clearance rack, you're still playing paying
Speaker 2: crazy money for it, So and again I don't splurge
Speaker 2: on this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Usually I don't own anything like this. So wait a minute, Wait,
Speaker 3: don't you own I got a thousand dollars pair of sneakers.
Speaker 2: That was last year's pair, the Alexander McQueen. Yeah, Alexander
Speaker 2: McQueen and I have a pair of Christian Lubertons.
Speaker 3: Right, well, plice is just a friendly reminder of which
Speaker 3: one of us is the bougie bastard.
Speaker 2: It's an annual purchase, okay. And I don't own anything
Speaker 2: besides those things. Well, I go to the clearance rack
Speaker 2: and all, a good thing you made?
Speaker 3: Didn't throw those out? And oh my god, lo and
Speaker 3: behold lower, behold stun. Can you spell? Can you spell
Speaker 3: coutur c oh u t u r e close enough?
Speaker 3: I think that's it. It's co ou definitely c o
Speaker 3: u t u r e. Right.
Speaker 2: You tested me, you know, I came in third place
Speaker 2: in the uh first grade spelling bee in PS two
Speaker 2: A four. Really, yeah, don't fuck with me.
Speaker 3: C o U t u r e. Right, it has
Speaker 3: to be anyway. So I go to the clears. I

Speaker 2: I got a bargain on these things. So once you

Speaker 3: Four hundred, four hundred and fifty dollars. That's the original price. Asshole.
Speaker 3: This is Christian Lubaton red bottoms. These are authentic. Nike
Speaker 3: is better.
Speaker 2: This isn't a Chinatown fake. These aren't the ones that
Speaker 2: fell up the back of a truck in Brooklyn. Three
Speaker 2: hundred four point fifty. Dude, These are marked down. These
Speaker 2: are eleven one hundred dollars sneakers, which I which I
Speaker 2: which I never would have bought for.
Speaker 3: Eleven hundred Buy a car for eleven hundred dollars? What
Speaker 3: are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Once again, as I take this back to the beginning,
Speaker 2: I don't splurge very often. I own very little designer
Speaker 2: stuff on a high end level. I mean, women can
Speaker 2: relate with the handbags. Why are you throwing women under
Speaker 2: the bottom because they access their eyes. They know these,
Speaker 2: they know these brands, Dudekers, they're loubies, baby bloobies, bottom
Speaker 2: of sneakers, loubis.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's the thing. See that's what sucks.
Speaker 2: Nobody sees the red bottom, right but they but they
Speaker 2: always I got so many people like those are Christian Lubittons.
Speaker 2: Like how you know, like we know a Loubi when
Speaker 2: we see one. So they're like, God, lift your lobes,
Speaker 2: lift your fuck, lift your foot. So I lifted up
Speaker 2: my foot like see, they're like, Dad, I can show
Speaker 2: me those red bottoms.
Speaker 3: You know, this is like Cardi b These is rare
Speaker 3: at bottoms. These his bloody shoes. Come on, Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what I'm going for.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 3: That's that's the this is the this is the signature.
Speaker 3: I mean, dude, Sex and the City. Uh, what's that?
Speaker 3: What's that novel? That? The sex novels all those years ago.
Speaker 3: Shoes with the red bottoms are shiny, but this is
Speaker 3: a sneaker. Scary the bottom of your shoe there's still rubber.
Speaker 3: There's still rubber on the bottom. Well, the problem rubber,
Speaker 3: red robber, red robber. We don't want brody over red rubber.
Speaker 3: That's red Rover. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Anyway, the point is my doctor's name. I saw, I splurged,
Speaker 2: I wore them and I owned the night. But the
Speaker 2: problem is saw you coming a mile away.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: They never ever have my size in these clearance items,
Speaker 2: So I said, how can I not if they're marked
Speaker 2: down from eleven hundred to four fifty. This is a
Speaker 2: frigging bargain right now, and I'm gonna be able to
Speaker 2: get I'm gonna be built. Walk away with these frigging sneakers.
Speaker 3: I want them what slices?
Speaker 2: Leave it.
Speaker 3: Talk back then if you agree with this theory, they don't.
Speaker 2: The stores try to sell them for eleven hundred, so
Speaker 2: they can mark them down to four hundred, and it
Speaker 2: only cost them like twenty maybe ten bucks to make them.
Speaker 3: Okay, sweatshop, And that's that's the scam. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: they're marked down from eleven hundred. The worst buy those,
Speaker 3: the worst bind those new for eleven hundred. And here's
Speaker 3: the problem with the whole thing. Even though they fit
Speaker 3: me and they were twelve.
Speaker 2: As I was walking in them and trying them on,
Speaker 2: I'm like, mmm, this little this area right here where
Speaker 2: my like like my potential bunion. This could be a
Speaker 2: problem right here because it's kind of rubbing against the
Speaker 2: side of my toe.
Speaker 3: Ap. You know what, fuck it. So I'll buy them anyway. Well,
Speaker 3: you put uncomfortable shoes for four hundred dollars, yeah, because dude,
Speaker 3: they look good.
Speaker 2: See, And this is what this is how I'm wrapping
Speaker 2: the whole thing up, Okay, And I'm explaining, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to sympathize and empathize with women who say if
Speaker 2: it don't hurt, it don't look good. Or the women
Speaker 2: that say, you know that, they buy these expensive shoes
Speaker 2: and then and then their feet are and their feet
Speaker 2: are killing them at the end of the night, and
Speaker 2: they're like, And guys are always like, why the fuck
Speaker 2: would you buy the most uncomfortable shoes?
Speaker 3: Why would you buy them if they hurt?
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is I fell into
Speaker 2: that same abyss, that same trap that women fall into
Speaker 2: when they buy uncomfortable shit because it looks good. And
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I got all the compliments in the world,
Speaker 2: but now here I am a day later. My feet
Speaker 2: are a cut up. I've got bandages over my toes.
Speaker 2: So I know, I know what it's like, ladies, to
Speaker 2: walk a mile in your shoes, literally literally you know
Speaker 2: how many? I did more than my ten thousand steps
Speaker 2: yesterday because I was walking around the Jingle Ball Arena,
Speaker 2: I was going back and forth. I must have did
Speaker 2: twenty thousand steps. So I want to sell those now,
Speaker 2: you should sell them. No, I walked more than I
Speaker 2: normally would fucking walk brody and on a daily and
Speaker 2: of all days, that's the day I got to put
Speaker 2: on these more the most uncomfortable shoes of my life.
Speaker 3: But you don't want to wear them again. Oh, you're
Speaker 3: gonna wear them because theyre dead trendy.
Speaker 2: Okay, So because they're so outlandish looking, I showed you
Speaker 2: a picture. I probably should post a picture two of them.
Speaker 2: These aren't shoes you just wear every day. These are
Speaker 2: these are things you wear no, but visually like they
Speaker 2: they're loud. So these are things that you wear on
Speaker 2: a special occasion. Lights, pick ball shoes. No, they're sneakers,
Speaker 2: but they don't they don't. Uh, they don't walk like
Speaker 2: a sneaker. These walk like like uncomfortable shoes. But you
Speaker 2: know what if you're on stage at at freaking the
Speaker 2: world's most popular arena, and you're there and the world's
Speaker 2: most famous arena, similar word, okay, the most famous arena,
Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna do something special, You're gonna splurg,
Speaker 2: you're gonna buy some and you're gonna you're gonna be
Speaker 2: on stage being viewed by so many people and like,
Speaker 2: oh scary, you know you know, so there, so there,
Speaker 2: so there.
Speaker 3: So I think you think the crowd was able to
Speaker 3: look up on stage up and see the shoes you
Speaker 3: can't see the shoes. Yeah some people could. Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: you could, of course. I hope those people appreciated your
Speaker 3: four hundred dollars on sales shoes. I don't know. Listen,
Speaker 3: this is not me. I don't do this. They couldn't.
Speaker 3: This second quart is scary. Can still wear them. Maybe
Speaker 3: if you lose a little weight in your feet, they'll
Speaker 3: fit better. You should tell doctor you know who that
Speaker 3: you'd like to gear the program towards toe weight loss
Speaker 3: and cut down your parabins. Maybe you can lose some
Speaker 3: some toe loss.
Speaker 2: Or I could go to that that crazy ass doctor
Speaker 2: that cuts women's feet just so they could fit into
Speaker 2: the shoe.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the cinderellas that happened in Cinderella. You're the
Speaker 3: original version of Cinderella. The women were cutting their feet
Speaker 3: to make them feet fit in that slipper.
Speaker 2: It wasn't there a thing that that people that there
Speaker 2: are women that go under this crazy surgeries just they
Speaker 2: will move.
Speaker 3: A toe, just to move a pinky toe just fit
Speaker 3: in shoe. That actually happens in real life. It does.
Speaker 3: We've seen it before. Seems normal like that seems like
Speaker 3: a oh, these gloves don't fit right I'm gonna take
Speaker 3: a pinky of and Brody all right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell a story. So
Speaker 3: story time with David brit story Time, because it's my turn.
Speaker 3: Now you had a couple of good ones. I was
Speaker 3: going to a store in the mall. And you know,
Speaker 3: malls have entrances, like five or six places you can
Speaker 3: park near an entrance, and so I called. I wanted
Speaker 3: to know which mall entrance would make the most sense
Speaker 3: because online doesn't have a good map. Right in case
Speaker 3: you're like, why you just look on the map. They
Speaker 3: don't have a good one for this mall. So I
Speaker 3: called and I said, Hey, I'm coming there. Uh what
Speaker 3: entrance should I come in? And what floor are you on?
Speaker 3: And she says, I said, you're on the first floor,
Speaker 3: second floor. The mall only has two floors. Now, this
Speaker 3: mall scary, you know the mall Livingston Mall, which is
Speaker 3: going out of business a.
Speaker 2: Business and looks really sad if you look at for
Speaker 2: the TikTok videos. Holy shit, the only thing they have
Speaker 2: is a Christmas tree and J C.
Speaker 3: Penny. This mall is like ninety percent. As people's leases
Speaker 3: are up, they move out.
Speaker 2: It's so sad brody. There's like a barn there's like
Speaker 2: a Barnes and Noble, and like a fucking Jason and.
Speaker 3: Noble was built out on the outside, like they added
Speaker 3: a wing of the mall. So it's it's almost like
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a free standing store on three signs
Speaker 3: I saw, I saw the depression people. The only really
Speaker 3: real people in this mall are people taking videos to show.
Speaker 2: How empty the mall is exactly. So I had to
Speaker 2: go to one of the stores. So I asked the
Speaker 2: girl the stores, how many are left?
Speaker 3: Three? Like seven? Oh? Yeah. So I didn't want to
Speaker 3: walk past all the empty stores. So I'm like, I
Speaker 3: don't remember where that store was located. So I said,
Speaker 3: what entrance should I go in? Now? This mall scary?
Speaker 3: You know the mall? Oh yes, it's built into a hill.
Speaker 3: So the back of the mall is higher and you
Speaker 3: enter on the second floor, correct, And the front of
Speaker 3: the mall is on the first floor when you enter. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because the parking lot goes up and around the back.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Okay, is the hair cutting place still there? No longer?
Speaker 3: No long gone? Yeah? No, they left. They left over
Speaker 3: a year ago. Okay.
Speaker 2: So she says, you want to go in through Lord
Speaker 2: and Taylor and then we're on the first floor if
Speaker 2: you go in that way.
Speaker 3: Okay, Lord and Taylor is still there. Yeah, So I said, no,
Speaker 3: it's closed, but that's the entrance at the time, there
Speaker 3: was an entrance. She said, you want to you want
Speaker 3: to go through Lord and Taylor. So I said, all right,
Speaker 3: and then you're right by Lord and Taylor. She's yeah,
Speaker 3: we're on the first floor if you go through Lord
Speaker 3: and Taylor. I go, aren't you on the first floor?
Speaker 3: No matter where I go in, I said, you're on
Speaker 3: the first floor. We're on the first floor if you
Speaker 3: go in that entrance. I said, yeah, But that entrance
Speaker 3: is higher up in the back in the parking lot,
Speaker 3: so it's on the second floor. Question becomes what constitutes
Speaker 3: the first floor? The building has two floors, it doesn't
Speaker 3: if you enter on the second floor. Still the second floor? Oh?
Speaker 3: So she says, well, no, we're on the first floor
Speaker 3: when you walk in by the way, you don't you
Speaker 3: don't pick floor numbers based on the first one. But but,
Speaker 3: but she could be referring to the first floor of
Speaker 3: the higher ground. So I said, so how it works?
Speaker 2: I said, okay, but there's no third floor, so you're
Speaker 2: either on the first floor or you're on the second floor.
Speaker 2: And I walk in, So are you in the second floor?
Speaker 2: She said, no, we're on the first floor when you
Speaker 2: walk in. I said, but there is no first floor.
Speaker 3: Did you walk in first floor relative to the building? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, there is there one is floor one and
Speaker 2: floor to his floor two? Right, regardless of right you're
Speaker 2: talking about relative to the building. When you're talking about
Speaker 2: a mall, a structure, there's one two.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I'm crystal clear on this. If you
Speaker 3: you're you live in an apartment building on the second
Speaker 3: floor and I put a ladder up to your window
Speaker 3: and I climb in, that doesn't become the first floor.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Was that what she was trying to say.
Speaker 2: She was trying to say, it's the first floor you
Speaker 2: see when you come in that entrance, just like no,
Speaker 2: it's the first floor that makes the first floor of
Speaker 2: the basement. Then oh, man, are you on the same
Speaker 2: floor as Lord and Taylor at the top floor, the
Speaker 2: top floor?
Speaker 3: My brain hurts. This is the day after jingle Ball,
Speaker 3: and this is. I'm just said, you know what, never mind,
Speaker 3: I'll find it. So sure enough, I went into Lord
Speaker 3: and Taylor and I looked at and there was right
Speaker 3: there on the second floor was her name, Luca. Yeah,
Speaker 3: right there on the second floor. So that is only
Speaker 3: topped by this this genius. So I sold some stuff
Speaker 3: on eBay. One of the packages was was Scary's and
Speaker 3: I had to drop them off. I'm sorry, but whatever
Speaker 3: the shipping was, it was it was UPS. I had
Speaker 3: to ship something UPS because something I sold from Skary is.
Speaker 3: It was the person who brought the thing from Skary
Speaker 3: that I sold for him lives in a town that's
Speaker 3: so small that UPS has to deliver it to the
Speaker 3: local post office and then the post office then takes
Speaker 3: it the rest of the way. Really, I didn't know
Speaker 3: sounds like that existed on the map, right, So like
Speaker 3: the regular post office doesn't get packages, UPS has to
Speaker 3: bring it there and then the local little right. Okay,
Speaker 3: So I go to the UPS store and they closed.
Speaker 3: They were closed, I don't know, they closed early and
Speaker 3: said like they were closed earlier than I thought. I said,
Speaker 3: well I do, I got to mail this package. I said, thanks.
Speaker 3: It was Thanksgiving week I said, you closed tomorrow and Friday.
Speaker 3: It was like Wednesday at five o'clock they closed instead
Speaker 3: of six. Yeah. So he goes, well, you can go
Speaker 3: to you can go to CVS. They take packages a CVS. Okay.
Speaker 3: So I walk into CVS and I asked him at
Speaker 3: the register where do I go with the packages? She says, oh,
Speaker 3: we'll call the girl. She'll come over and check it
Speaker 3: in feel I said, okay, she's just wait over there.
Speaker 3: So I wait over by the candy aisle, which tell
Speaker 3: gonna wait sure, And I'm holding the package in my
Speaker 3: hand and she comes out with a gun, like a
Speaker 3: scanner gun, and she says, are you the person who
Speaker 3: needs help with youps package? I said, uh, yeah, I
Speaker 3: got I'm holding the package. Should have been the first clue,
Speaker 3: but I didn't say that. She says, do you mind
Speaker 3: if I scan it? I said, of course, I don't
Speaker 3: mind that. That's what I'm here for. If I have
Speaker 3: a problem with you scanning it, then I'm not getting
Speaker 3: my package dropped off. So she looks to me weird.
Speaker 3: I go, never mind, so mhm. She gives me the
Speaker 3: face like, uh, this guy's weird. Okay, So she then
Speaker 3: put the code in the scanning device, like her code.
Speaker 3: She logged in, and it must have read a question
Speaker 3: like when you put in your code. It must have
Speaker 3: had a screen A question come up on the screen
Speaker 3: and it's it's just just to me. Are you here
Speaker 3: to pick up or drop off that package?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: I said, well, I'm clearly dropping it off. How can
Speaker 3: I pick it up? I already have it? Duh? She says, oh,
Speaker 3: it's on the screen. I had to read you the question.
Speaker 3: I go, no, No, you didn't have to read me
Speaker 3: that question. I'm holding the box. What she's just so,
Speaker 3: would you like me to scan it? Yeah? Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: a good idea. Why don't you scan the package? I
Speaker 3: brought in here to be scanned. So she scans it
Speaker 3: and she say, would you like a receipt? I said yes,
Speaker 3: I'd like a receipt. She says, oh, I can't give
Speaker 3: you one. What. Yeah, it's not working. I can't give
Speaker 3: you a seat. But you just asked me can you
Speaker 3: email it to me? Now I'm having a problem with
Speaker 3: the Wi Fi. So why would you ask me if
Speaker 3: I wanted a receipt? If you can't give me a receipt? Wow,
Speaker 3: she says, Well, that's the question. It pops up on
Speaker 3: my thing. I have to ask you, God, but you
Speaker 3: knew that you couldn't give me one, So thankfully I
Speaker 3: didn't ask her what floor she was on, because you know.
Speaker 3: Then then I went to the post office same day, scary.
Speaker 3: I walk in and as an older gentleman. When I
Speaker 3: say older, he's maybe seventy seventy five, wasn't one hundred.
Speaker 3: And he's at the desk and he's leaving, and he
Speaker 3: had had a mail carrier shirt on my post office shirt.
Speaker 3: So he says to me, after you, sir, thank you
Speaker 3: for helping to pay my pension. So I said, sure,
Speaker 3: no problem, thank you for earning your pension. I said
Speaker 3: this assuming he was a postal worker and I was
Speaker 3: helping to support the postal service. He then went on
Speaker 3: scary out of nowhere on a ten minute story, asking
Speaker 3: me if I had ever seen one of two movies
Speaker 3: about the postal service. One was called Going Postal, which
Speaker 3: made me think about when postal employees used to shoot
Speaker 3: up the place. He's called going postal. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: is that where that by the way, is that where
Speaker 3: that term comes from? Going postal? Yeah, because in the
Speaker 3: nineties it was a rash of disgruntled postal workers going
Speaker 3: back to their their postal offices and shooting people. Oh god,
Speaker 3: you didn't really you didn't know where that came from. No,
Speaker 3: I had no idea. I know that was the argent
Speaker 3: of the word. All right, you know that the song
Speaker 3: going back to Cali's about going back to Cali? Right
Speaker 3: that I know? Okay. So, so he asked me if
Speaker 3: I have a start going postal. So I'm like getting
Speaker 3: a little nervous. Now, what is this guy? What's what's
Speaker 3: he alluding to here? So he didn't say he was
Speaker 3: in the movies or that he was involved in any
Speaker 3: way in the plot, he told me. Then he starts
Speaker 3: telling me, he's like, you really ought to see those movies.
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, okay. Then he tells me his college
Speaker 3: degree and he used to be a lawyer and he
Speaker 3: defended cases and he never lost, but sometimes he had
Speaker 3: a compromise because half a loaf of bread is better
Speaker 3: than no bread. And then he went on to telling
Speaker 3: me his story about his career and I don't know.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: He said he was a union he didn't have any
Speaker 3: talents for union busters, and then he knew this guy
Speaker 3: who sued the post office and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I just want to drop off my packages. Have you
Speaker 3: ever met someone like that or just like like just
Speaker 3: started talking and telling you stories that made no sense. Yes,
Speaker 3: we do that every day on this podcast. You're listening
Speaker 3: to it. No, I'm kidding. No, no, no. There have
Speaker 3: been times where it's like, what is going on? What
Speaker 3: is why are these people? Might have been an uber driver.
Speaker 3: They might have got me recently. Uber driver uber driver Uba. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they might have gotten me recently. But but I thought
Speaker 3: the guy was gonna shoot somebody like he was rambling
Speaker 3: on about union busting people and scams and yeah, these
Speaker 3: are the people that you meet at the post office. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just I just wanted to drop off my mail.
Speaker 3: So you never know. Yeah, I don't. I avoid the
Speaker 3: post office at all costs. I don't. I don't go
Speaker 3: in there. I go into a post office like once
Speaker 3: every three years. Is that why you have me sell
Speaker 3: stuff for you? You don't want to go?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, I deal with it.
Speaker 2: No, I understand why, or I mean listen, don't You
Speaker 2: can go into a ups and FedEx. They they do
Speaker 2: pickups so rather than having to go to an old,
Speaker 2: decrepit building with disgruntled workers, such a such a place
Speaker 2: of negativity and toxic toxicity. You know what.
Speaker 3: It depends on the post office. Oh yeah, the one
Speaker 3: on there's one in Manhattan, the big one on Canal Street. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that place is. I mean the building itself in prison.
Speaker 3: It looks like a prison.
Speaker 2: It looks like a prison, but the building is. The
Speaker 2: building has old school architecture. It's over well over a
Speaker 2: century old. When you walk in, you feel like, wow,
Speaker 2: this was a place people would congregate. They would come
Speaker 2: here because a lot of business went down here. And
Speaker 2: and like they had like twenty windows and like eighteen
Speaker 2: of them were shuttered permanently. And then there's like just
Speaker 2: one disgruntled worker behind the window. What do you want next?
Speaker 2: And then and then then all the rest of the
Speaker 2: displays where you're supposed to pull out all the forms
Speaker 2: and things and the envelopes and crap is all over
Speaker 2: the fucking place. And there's alway is like some kind
Speaker 2: of straggler or shady person lurking that's not really online.
Speaker 3: It has no business being there telling stories about post
Speaker 3: office movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's all That's why I don't walk into them
Speaker 2: like I don't. I don't like going to places like that.
Speaker 2: It creeps me out, you know, places like uh, you know,
Speaker 2: the motor vehicle if I can avoid it, get me.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go here. I do not want
Speaker 2: to go here where you know the dregs of humanity are,
Speaker 2: you know, the just like I mean even the people
Speaker 2: that don't wear loubies. The bottom feeders of society, you know,
Speaker 2: is the society. You know what I'm talking about? If
Speaker 2: I try, people are wonderful and and you know, slices,
Speaker 2: you may be hearing this and be like, what are
Speaker 2: these guys talking about? I live in so and so town,
Speaker 2: you know, a New Jersey no No, or wherever, Pennsylvania
Speaker 2: or Florida, wherever you may be living. But guess what,
Speaker 2: y slices, you may be living in blank town, and
Speaker 2: you may have a pristine motive vehicle and a pristine
Speaker 2: post office. Thank you, lucky stars. Because the ones that
Speaker 2: are around the New York City, New Jersey area, a
Speaker 2: lot of them are shit, the garbage, garbage. But if
Speaker 2: you're listening to us in Nebraska right now, you may

Speaker 3: You do that? His name was mister mcpheey.
Speaker 2: Why how do you you have an infinite number of
Speaker 2: combinations of names to choose from and you choose mister
Speaker 2: mcpheeley for a child sixties?
Speaker 3: I guess they weren't thinking about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Oh my god, I watched these seventies
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies, you know, infomercials and shows and uh these
Speaker 2: not even shows, they're like commercials or public service announces. Okay,
Speaker 2: they are zero Fox given on these things. They're like
Speaker 2: they're like, hey, what's the matter with Jimmy? Oh he's retarded?
Speaker 2: Like they're like, say it straight up?
Speaker 3: Like what like? But I guess it was acceptable at
Speaker 3: that point, so who you know, Yeah, well, lots of
Speaker 3: words works, you know what.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: What gets me though, so when you when you when
Speaker 3: you go on social media and people post things from
Speaker 3: the seventies, there's always those comments. That was back when
Speaker 3: you could be funny. Now, no one got offended by listen. Hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 3: don't make fun of my comments. Yeah, that was back
Speaker 3: when people who were offending people were offending people that
Speaker 3: didn't have the voice to stand up and say they
Speaker 3: were offended. That's the difference. They were still being offended,
Speaker 3: they just didn't have the wherewithal or the voice or
Speaker 3: the social media to say, hey, that's offensive to me.
Speaker 3: So we shipp on on on smaller groups of people,
Speaker 3: and they were like, but they weren't offended, you know what,
Speaker 3: they were probably offended, if I had to guess, probably
Speaker 3: dare no.
Speaker 2: But there are certain words that were just because who's
Speaker 2: to say that, Okay, I'm just gonna use the word
Speaker 2: retarded because it just came up, okay, just to analyze it.
Speaker 3: Who's to say that that word should now be off limits?
Speaker 2: Uh, in the context in the context of someone who
Speaker 2: is you know, you know, is suffering from something, you know,
Speaker 2: like like in the medical term. Okay, okay, I'm not
Speaker 2: talking about we calling your friends in school that is,
Speaker 2: you know, here's that Okay, I'm talking I'm talking specifically
Speaker 2: about that who who dictated and decided that that was
Speaker 2: a bad thing? Why can't it remain in its own
Speaker 2: con home, because why can't it remain in its own
Speaker 2: context of that's what that means.
Speaker 3: It's define this type of person with this type of condition.
Speaker 3: So the original word that word meant originally was things
Speaker 3: can be slowed. The progress is slowed, right, progress can
Speaker 3: be retarded. You can retard a progress of that. That's
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So why can't it stick to that meaning?
Speaker 3: And that's it and not talking about erosion on a
Speaker 3: beach or something or movement of a glacier. Yes, the
Speaker 3: problem is not the word. The word retarded wasn't the problem.
Speaker 3: The problem was when people used it as a noun
Speaker 3: and called people retards, and people with medical conditions who
Speaker 3: were born possibly with certain challenges were being called that word.
Speaker 3: Even though you may call your friend, hey, what are
Speaker 3: you rue that? Right? Yeah, you meant, you meant. What
Speaker 3: you really meant was you are like those people that
Speaker 3: have a born disability. And so when nobody cared what
Speaker 3: those people felt, people were able to use the word.
Speaker 3: But the parents cared, the people cared who had those
Speaker 3: special challenges, and so as they got more of a
Speaker 3: voice in government and in the populace and in society,
Speaker 3: people were like you know what, we've been offending those
Speaker 3: people all this time, but we hurt. But we created
Speaker 3: that based on all of what you just said.
Speaker 2: In it's in its original form, the the this word
Speaker 2: means this condition, So why can't it be eighty years
Speaker 2: later and that word still refers to that condition without
Speaker 2: any prejudice.
Speaker 3: That's the word. That's the word because we use you
Speaker 3: use the word as a derogatory term. Let's say, let's say,
Speaker 3: and I'm really trying to understand this, and how in
Speaker 3: Paul put an easier term to understand. Let's say I
Speaker 3: call a girl you're such a just such a blonde
Speaker 3: that that's sort of hurtful for blondes. That's like saying
Speaker 3: you're so you're like a blonde. So if I say
Speaker 3: to somebody, you're the R word, and it's now become
Speaker 3: publicly associated with people boom with disabilities, I'm saying you
Speaker 3: are so not as bright as you could be, you
Speaker 3: are so less than that, you're like those people. That's
Speaker 3: why the.
Speaker 2: Society have has now come up with other you know,
Speaker 2: the these offshooting meanings.
Speaker 3: Its handicapped people call it it's ape.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, Now you can't say that you can't say
Speaker 2: you haven't been able to say that first disabled, But
Speaker 2: like that in baseball, the disabled list became the injured list.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly where I'm going with this, even though
Speaker 3: even though there's because disabled me yeah, So the question
Speaker 3: is but why why? Because because our society has decided
Speaker 3: the world has decided to be kinder to people who
Speaker 3: are maybe considered less than by other people.
Speaker 2: But it's it's just a it's so, it's just a word.
Speaker 2: It's a bunch of letter are strung together that equate this.
Speaker 2: I'm just going this is very black and white, Okay.
Speaker 3: Why it's why you can call someone you could say
Speaker 3: fanny in America, but in England that's it's offensive because
Speaker 3: fanny means the sea will. But that's always been that's
Speaker 3: always been that. No, that's a point.
Speaker 2: It's a bad analogy. I'm talking about. Like what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: word scary. It's no different than Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 2: take it to an extreme. And again, this is the
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Boys comedy podcast in eighteen seventy. In eighteen forty,
Speaker 2: If you use the N word, you were using it
Speaker 2: towards people that had no voice in society. No but
Speaker 2: that was always derogatory from the beginning. That word was
Speaker 2: always hold on but scary.
Speaker 3: It was probably came up with because maybe because they
Speaker 3: were from Niger, Africa, whatever the case, or Nigro is
Speaker 3: black and many languages, right, so, and Nigro became what
Speaker 3: right of matter? But when you my point is, but
Speaker 3: why did that word become and offensive? It didn't become
Speaker 3: It always was, okay, but it became worse. And it
Speaker 3: became worse because those people, black people got a voice
Speaker 3: in society and decided that it shouldn't be commonplace on television,
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be commonplace right, No, in the workplace.
Speaker 2: No. But but here hear me out for a second.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, in eighteen forty, that was a derogatory word.
Speaker 3: It always was.
Speaker 2: And but what the comparison I'm making is like go
Speaker 2: back to disabled for a second. Okay, disabled, The word
Speaker 2: disabled is it was meant to mean this, this condition
Speaker 2: or whatever you and and it became over time. See
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like the N word was different.
Speaker 2: It always was a derogatory thing. I think it's a
Speaker 2: bad example. You need to take that away. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about words that like that were meant to mean what
Speaker 2: are associated with a thing? Why all of a sudden
Speaker 2: or over time that those words because eventually, like I
Speaker 2: understand how Indian style, like, we was sitting Indian style
Speaker 2: and then I say crisscross apple sauce because because you.
Speaker 3: Didn't find Indian style offensive, but the Indian people said, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: these faults in that other category. Disabled people don't want
Speaker 3: to be referred to as disabled. But there's a.
Speaker 2: Reason why, because because in the beginning they had no
Speaker 2: problem with that, they were okay with it, and it
Speaker 2: wasn't derogatory because.
Speaker 3: That was it was it was. There was a time
Speaker 3: this having the right to vote, There was a time
Speaker 3: when didn't have a problem not working. Society advances and
Speaker 3: moves and grows, and at some point disabled people may
Speaker 3: have been like, you know what, I don't want to
Speaker 3: be stigmatized with a word. I don't want to be
Speaker 3: I don't want to be pre judged as disabled. I
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't want to get too deep. I
Speaker 3: understand disabled person to I shouldn't refer to them as that,
Speaker 3: So I don't I see the thing. I don't think this.
Speaker 2: A person who is quote disabled is a offend by that.
Speaker 2: I think that that's that is something.
Speaker 3: What about the term, okay, homosexual is a definition of
Speaker 3: a type of person, right, people are born homosexuals, whatever
Speaker 3: the case, and then but if you call them homos,
Speaker 3: maybe in the seventies they weren't offended by that, But
Speaker 3: now if you see a guy at a bar, that's.
Speaker 2: Another one of those that falls into the other category.
Speaker 2: That was always that was always derogatory from the beginning.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about specific words like disabled. That was an
Speaker 2: excellent example, and we'll use the R word okay there
Speaker 2: that were meant to mean that this word equals.
Speaker 3: This caution became for him an insult. It became an
Speaker 3: insult when someone was born a certain way and medically
Speaker 3: declared that word. Oh your child is this word, right,
Speaker 3: that's fine, But if you start using it as an
Speaker 3: insult towards people that aren't born that way, then it's like, so,
Speaker 3: my child is an insult, So my child is so bad.
Speaker 3: So less than that, you're going to call people you
Speaker 3: don't like and say they're like my like my Jimmy.
Speaker 3: So you're calling somebody like as an insult my kid.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like I'm Jewish, Right, you call me
Speaker 3: a Jew? But when you use it as an insult,
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, yeah, what are you some what are
Speaker 3: you some fucking cheap jew? Now it's an insult. Right
Speaker 3: If you call people jew as an insult, then I
Speaker 3: take it as like that right.
Speaker 2: No, but now you can't say you can't say, oh,
Speaker 2: you can't say Brodie's a Jew. You can't say that. Yes,
Speaker 2: you can have a connotation by it.
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. No, it's a different scary if you
Speaker 3: said Brodie's a Jew. Who cares if you said Brodie's
Speaker 3: a Jew? So now it's an inflection. It is in
Speaker 3: if I see myself on the street, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: what's up? Jew?
Speaker 2: This is all this, All this, the proceeding was really
Speaker 2: just an exploitory, exploratory conversation on why certain things.
Speaker 3: Is skinny offensive?
Speaker 2: It is it was always offensive, that it was always offensive,
Speaker 2: it was more offensive. Again, I'm specifically talking about words
Speaker 2: that were I'm going to go back to it again.
Speaker 3: I have to reiterate and underline and underscore.
Speaker 2: I'm specifically talking about words that we're equal to medical
Speaker 2: conditions or such that that now cannot be used because I.
Speaker 3: Think we try better, harder to say, to call and
Speaker 3: label people things that are less offensive or stigmatatic stigmatic, right, right, stigmatizing.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, I guess I'm trying to understand this. You know. Look,
Speaker 3: there's two types of people. There's the people will go yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, I can make that effort if I if
Speaker 3: I if these people are offended by it. And then
Speaker 3: there's people go fuck those people shouldn't be funded. Fuck up.
Speaker 3: So choose which camp you're in? How do we get
Speaker 3: on this topic? Will we aspire? You probably said something stupid, yeah, podcast,
Speaker 3: we will be right back.
Speaker 2: The stuff in your storage unit isn't worth seventy seven
Speaker 2: dollars a month. And I never ever go to look
Speaker 2: at the storage unit and try and take things out
Speaker 2: of it ever, so right, and I don't really there
Speaker 2: and you'll die and it'll be there.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Storage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, storage companies they're raking it in, just like please,
Speaker 2: just like uh, just like health insurance companies, just raking
Speaker 2: the money in because because people have junk, they never
Speaker 2: get rid of the junk.
Speaker 3: They don't want to part with a junk.
Speaker 2: It's probably on their head and it's uh, they fit,
Speaker 2: they can't and they're like, you know, I'm just going
Speaker 2: to pay for a place to store my junk. By
Speaker 2: the way, Jerry Seinfeld did an amazing routine on this
Speaker 2: very bit. What we just sold, Yeah, yeah, yeah, not junk.
Speaker 3: So when I sold my house, my wife and I
Speaker 3: sold the house, we had more stuff that would fit
Speaker 3: here at the townhouse in the garage. So I said,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna take a storage unit. It's not a
Speaker 3: big storage unit. It's I don't know, ten by twelve,
Speaker 3: twelve by twelve, it's you know whatever. So I booked
Speaker 3: it online and it said online discounted price seventy nine
Speaker 3: dollars a month. So I'm like, all right, I'll keep
Speaker 3: the storage unit for a few months till you know,
Speaker 3: everything's settled in and we donate stuff, we sell stuff,
Speaker 3: we'll make room for the stuff in the unit, and
Speaker 3: we'll bring it here, we'll put it in the garage. Well,
Speaker 3: after two months seventy nine dollars, they send me an
Speaker 3: email that my unit is now going up to one
Speaker 3: fifty eight a month, which is just about double. Oh
Speaker 3: my god. So I said no, So I called up,
Speaker 3: I go whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't double my rent.
Speaker 3: I didn't take a promotional price. There was nothing that
Speaker 3: said this is a two month only promotional price. I
Speaker 3: never would have taken a unit for one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty eight dollars. So I was, well, that's a promotional price.
Speaker 3: That's not what it's said online. I have a screenshot
Speaker 3: of it, which I did because I screenshoted it as
Speaker 3: I was shopping, so I remember all of the places
Speaker 3: I was looking at and I could compare all the pricing. Wow,
Speaker 3: there's nothing I can do. That's the price. I said, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I said, I will gladly move my stuff to another
Speaker 3: storage unit as of the end of the month. That's bullshit.
Speaker 3: So he says, oh, well, let me see what I
Speaker 3: can do. I can bring it down a one twenty five.
Speaker 3: I got one twenty five. I'm paying seventy nine dollars. No,
Speaker 3: that's that's not ect. That's babe and Switch. I said, look,
Speaker 3: you're not dealing with somebody who's like a pats who's
Speaker 3: going to take this bullshit. I have a contract with
Speaker 3: you for seventy nine dollars. He says, yeah, but it
Speaker 3: says written there the price can go up with one
Speaker 3: month's notice. I said, yeah, after like a year, not
Speaker 3: after two months. Wow. So I said, I got to
Speaker 3: talk to a supervisor, regional person. Get me on the
Speaker 3: phone with somebody else. So I get the regional person
Speaker 3: calls me a few days later. By the way, was
Speaker 3: this a big company or is this like a mama Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a very big company. No, I don't go to
Speaker 3: mama pops. I go for the big ones with the
Speaker 3: big kind of prices. What scams. So the guy says
Speaker 3: to me, look, I'm sorry for the confusion. I could
Speaker 3: do ninety five. I said, wait a second. First, I'm
Speaker 3: paying seventy nine. Then you jack me up to one
Speaker 3: fifty eight, which is out of control. Then the guy
Speaker 3: tells me, yeah, I could do one twenty five. Now
Speaker 3: you're telling me you can do ninety five. Can we
Speaker 3: please get me back to seventy nine dollars? Can we
Speaker 3: make it up nonumbers? At this point?
Speaker 2: Right, they're just like they just make it up numbers.
Speaker 2: It's arbitrary, right, arbitrary. You're making it one twenty five?
Speaker 2: Will give you what do you think about?
Speaker 1: Dollars?
Speaker 3: Just work for you? No, it doesn't work for me.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I'll do I'll drop it to
Speaker 3: eighty six dollars, but i'll lock you in for for
Speaker 3: a year. Huh. So I said, so for seven dollars
Speaker 3: more a month, I'm locked in. There could be no
Speaker 3: price hikes. I said, I want that in writing. He said,
Speaker 3: all right. So he sent me an email, you know,
Speaker 3: confirming my eighty six dollars. But scary slices one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty eight dollars they tried to charge me. And
Speaker 3: how many people scary do you think?
Speaker 2: Go?
Speaker 3: All right, I put up with it quite a bit.
Speaker 3: They're not they're not a capacity. They've got plenty of
Speaker 3: empty units. If they lose me, they get zero a month.
Speaker 3: They want to double their profits. Yeah, I go. He is, well,
Speaker 3: we got a lot of empty units. I go, that's
Speaker 3: not my problem.
Speaker 2: How would you like one more empty unit? I go,
Speaker 2: so and sew up the road with the red windows,
Speaker 2: with the red gates. They're charging eighty six. So the
Speaker 2: guy was like, I'm match eighty six and I'll lock
Speaker 2: you in. I go, I want to see it in writing.
Speaker 2: Im at eighty six.
Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you, I'm trying my best to
Speaker 3: get rid of this fucking storage unit. I'm like constantly
Speaker 3: trying to sell stuff and combined stuff donate stuff.
Speaker 2: That would be pretty wise. Actually, I should probably do
Speaker 2: the same. I should probably go down there.
Speaker 3: You're paying for what stuff you're never gonna touch again. Yeah,
Speaker 3: back to the Seinfeld bit. Just junk.
Speaker 2: Just we're just moving junk. Life is just accumulating and
Speaker 2: moving junk around and paying for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, slices, I want you to leave us a talk back.
Speaker 3: How much are you paying more than me? And scary
Speaker 3: for you have storage unit for shit that you don't
Speaker 3: haven't seen in the years and.
Speaker 2: Then you will never see ever and you don't care
Speaker 2: about right? And is your spouse giving you shit for it?
Speaker 2: Because I'm definitely gonna get shipped for it after a
Speaker 2: certain amount of months, you know. Yeah, Well, because it's
Speaker 2: all my stuff there, because all you know, none of
Speaker 2: her stuff is is in the storage unit, So.
Speaker 3: All my stuff. How'd that work out?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 3: How about that? How about that? How about that? People
Speaker 3: will fuck you if you let them. That's my point. Oh,
Speaker 3: bring it on. You just want to get It's like,
Speaker 3: I just want to get fucked. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I teased last time that we brodie and I
Speaker 2: have a friend. Oh, I'm going to make people upsets
Speaker 2: an hr nightmare. I don't know how this company got
Speaker 2: away with doing this, but we were a friend who
Speaker 2: works in our industry in Los Angeles, and he has
Speaker 2: been doing let's be clear, not our company, not our company, no, right,
Speaker 2: a different big radio company. Yes, he's been working on
Speaker 2: this radio company on the news station for years and years.
Speaker 3: And that's eleven twelve years, right, yes, yeah, and this
Speaker 3: guy does the traffic reports and is employed by that company.
Speaker 3: So just explain what that means. Scary the traffic reports, Well,
Speaker 3: so so trure they do that.
Speaker 2: They every every ten minutes, they record a traffic report
Speaker 2: and then they they play.
Speaker 3: It, you know, and they're not part of the morning show,
Speaker 3: but now show in the sense that they're the official
Speaker 3: morning show five traffic person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've you know, they were five hours, six
Speaker 2: hours a day and every ten minutes spent out another
Speaker 2: traffic report.
Speaker 3: Well, and a lot of times they're working from home, right,
Speaker 3: or a centralized they don't work in the radio station
Speaker 3: where you work. Yeah, this person he.
Speaker 2: Worked in the past, tense because he got fired ye
Speaker 2: from home and yeah, so it was midway through his
Speaker 2: shift on like a Tuesday morning, and he basically gets
Speaker 2: a call from I guess corporate HR and says, hey, Harry, yeah,
Speaker 2: how you doing awesome? Listen, we're downsizing making some cuts
Speaker 2: here and you've been laid off. And then Harry says, whoaa, whoa.
Speaker 2: Not only was he hey, by the way, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of the shift right now, right right?
Speaker 3: Hit another hour?
Speaker 2: Right, another another two hours to go, two hours okay here,
Speaker 2: oh okay, yeah, well, uh you know something just oh
Speaker 2: we didn't know that. Just listen, be professional and finish
Speaker 2: your shift.
Speaker 3: But he looked up. He still had.
Speaker 2: Another seven traffic reports to file for the radio station
Speaker 2: and Harry Harry, so he.
Speaker 3: Was let go.
Speaker 2: Now they have a sixty second phone call. You'll be
Speaker 2: hearing from HR with your package. You're goodbye package, see
Speaker 2: you later. Uh uh, but you have another two hours
Speaker 2: on the air, so be professional, finish your shift.
Speaker 3: Click now traffic reports. So I'm gonna let you and
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, traffic reports are a great way to
Speaker 3: have a sponsor. Yes, right, So a lot of times
Speaker 3: you'll hear the track and there's a two hour back
Speaker 3: up at the bridge that was brought to you by
Speaker 3: a mattress firm, the mattress professionals. Right, they did the
Speaker 3: traffic reports so they could add a sponsor at the end.
Speaker 3: Erica runs Duncan or whatever the slogan is, so slices.
Speaker 3: He's what I want to ask you. This is another
Speaker 3: talk back. This is your homework assignment. This is the
Speaker 3: big one. Number one, would you curse them out and
Speaker 3: say fuck it, I'm not finishing the show. Number two?
Speaker 3: Would you finish the show and be professional? Or three?
Speaker 3: Would you finish the show and be unprofessional? Sabotage the place?
Speaker 3: And two hour backup when there's no backup? S like
Speaker 3: there's no backup, there's no backup at the bridge, or
Speaker 3: created create havoc on roadways that there never are. Right,
Speaker 3: And this this is brought to you by Dunkin Donuts.
Speaker 3: They fucking suck.
Speaker 2: American run. American runs on Duncan. America gives you the runs.
Speaker 2: I'm dunk right, okay, folks. He brought to you by
Speaker 2: donuts that make you fat, fat people, Donuts bump to you,
Speaker 2: bringing you the.
Speaker 3: Traffick a point, So what does do you do? Because
Speaker 3: I'm thinking for the scary, what would you have done?
Speaker 2: You want to probably finished professional, Yes, because I don't
Speaker 2: want to burn a bridge.
Speaker 3: I'm be going to which there's a two hour backup
Speaker 3: and done. The bridge is burning, the bridge is on Firefolks,
Speaker 3: don't go there. Head to the bridge, don't end to
Speaker 3: the bridge. Head to the toll that just opened up
Speaker 3: another lane that doesn't exist. The full sight is open.
Speaker 2: I would I would stay professional because in my mind
Speaker 2: I didn't do anything wrong. They're downsizing. I'm rehirable. I
Speaker 2: don't want to fuck with this company in case I
Speaker 2: need a job here in the future. So that's my mindset.
Speaker 2: But I just want to pull back. Well, first of all,
Speaker 2: what would you do? Well, I'm to see me. I'm
Speaker 2: a wise ass. I want to be professional. But also
Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey, it is a.
Speaker 3: Half hour delay getting out of the city in the
Speaker 3: Lincoln Tunnel, which is where I'll be in about twenty minutes,
Speaker 3: because I just got laid off. Yeah, I would, I
Speaker 3: would say something if so.
Speaker 2: He ended up disgruntally finishing his shift, and the last
Speaker 2: few reports like he was grumpy.
Speaker 3: Or he was like he did it.
Speaker 2: He did it anyway. Gradually he didn't be grudgingly, So
Speaker 2: that's the word I was looking for. He'd begrudgingly finished
Speaker 2: the shift professionally, but sounded somber and a little more,
Speaker 2: you know, a little weird.
Speaker 3: In the last found on the Parkway. You've got shifts.
Speaker 3: You can tell there was something wrong in his personal life.
Speaker 3: If you're on your way to work on the term Pike,
Speaker 3: good feel you still have a job. Half our delays?
Speaker 1: So what?
Speaker 2: But what I don't understand is what a fucked up company?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, is this company.
Speaker 3: No, he was on the air. There's no clue. There's
Speaker 3: no clue he was on the air. He was on
Speaker 3: the list. I gotta call Harry. I don't care what
Speaker 3: time it is. At eight o'clock in the morning, he
Speaker 3: won't constantly be doing this early that radio.
Speaker 2: It's weird, man, it's weird. And it's like, and what
Speaker 2: kind of a piece of shit company does that? That
Speaker 2: That basically says we don't value you anything.
Speaker 3: We we don't even know what your role is. That
Speaker 3: you might be on the radio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're gonna ask you, Yeah, could you stay
Speaker 2: too long?
Speaker 3: It's tasteake stay too more hour? We'll pay you for
Speaker 3: those two hours. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this reminds me of the time that New York
Speaker 2: Met Wilmer Flores was in the middle of a game
Speaker 2: and on the field news had broke in the dugout
Speaker 2: and in the stands online that he had been traded
Speaker 2: from the Mets.
Speaker 3: He is in the Mets universe.
Speaker 2: So at the end of that game, that the end
Speaker 2: part of the game, seventh inning, he was crying on
Speaker 2: the field. Well, hold on, at the end of the game,
Speaker 2: he will have been traded to a different team. But
Speaker 2: what the Mets were essentially asking him where to do
Speaker 2: was what they asked this traffic employee to do for
Speaker 2: that radio company. Finished the game, and what ended up happening, Brody,
Speaker 2: as you were about to say, he hell, news traveled,
Speaker 2: and obviously when he got back to the dugout for
Speaker 2: the half inning.
Speaker 3: Tom told crying, hey, look, you've been traded. We don't know,
Speaker 3: they said, we don't know. It's it's possible. He's to
Speaker 3: go back out and play.
Speaker 2: But the people in the stands have fucking cell phones.
Speaker 2: They're getting the news real time. So all kinds of
Speaker 2: some crazy, weird dynas he became.
Speaker 3: But the best part of that story scary is that
Speaker 3: the guy that one of the guys who was being
Speaker 3: traded for Carlos Gomez, ended up having a medical issue
Speaker 3: that the Mets thought was was no good, so they
Speaker 3: called off the trade. And then the next night they lost,
Speaker 3: and then the next game Wilma Flores hit the game
Speaker 3: winning home run and it was like it was a
Speaker 3: Hollywood ending. It was tremendous, tremendous. But yeah, he got
Speaker 3: he got sort of trade in the middle of the game.
Speaker 3: You know, there was one guy because this has happened
Speaker 3: before in baseball, where people have been traded during the
Speaker 3: game to the other team and they go in the
Speaker 3: locker room and change jerseys. Shut up. In fact, it
Speaker 3: happened this year. It's never happened before. But I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get the details. Maybe slightly wrong, but so forgive me
Speaker 3: if I'm off on the teams the Red Sox were playing.
Speaker 3: Let's say the Cleveland Indians. Okay, I know the Red
Speaker 3: Sox were involved. You don't have to tweet me, guys,
Speaker 3: and the game was was right, that's offensive. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: The Guardians A yeah, yeah, okay, there's an example for Okay.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: He was traded to the other team, but the game,
Speaker 3: so the game was rained out in April, right, it
Speaker 3: was rain delayed, so the game got paused when they
Speaker 3: when they scheduled the game to be replayed. He's now
Speaker 3: on the other team, and now he's catching for the
Speaker 3: other team. So he he played and got a hit,
Speaker 3: I believe, for both teams in the same game. Why
Speaker 3: and again I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but
Speaker 3: ultimately that's what happened. He got traded in the in
Speaker 3: a suspended game, and when they redid the when they
Speaker 3: went to finish the game played the end of the game,
Speaker 3: he was now playing for the other team. So he
Speaker 3: played for both teams in the same game. And there's
Speaker 3: something like he got to either he was catching or
Speaker 3: he was at he was at bat for one of
Speaker 3: the teams, whatever the case. Uh, he played for both
Speaker 3: teams within the same game. League technically, Wow, he can't
Speaker 3: make people have been traded in the middle of double headers.
Speaker 3: They played the first game of one team get traded
Speaker 3: to other camp. Make this they get a uniform. Can't
Speaker 3: make it now it happens.
Speaker 2: But this guy, poor Harry, not his real name, but
Speaker 2: Harry got Harry shit canned in the middle of his shift.
Speaker 3: Hope you find just let us know exactly I'm running
Speaker 3: on fumes, Brodie, I don't know. Did you stink from
Speaker 3: last night?
Speaker 2: No, I it's you know, yesterday was our big event,
Speaker 2: jingle Ball, so I was I was, you know, I
Speaker 2: was up late and here we are on a Saturday.
Speaker 2: I don't think I think this is a Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 2: first recording the podcast on a Saturday. Oh, we've never
Speaker 2: done that before, but we're running the I think we have.
Speaker 2: So should I tell the story about my daughter?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Of course. So my daughter went to jingle Ball
Speaker 3: last night with a friend of hers and they had
Speaker 3: they had good seats, but like the in the one
Speaker 3: hundred section, which is the first level off the floor.
Speaker 3: So I said, oh, you got good seat, right. I said,
Speaker 3: that's a good section you're in. She says, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: good access to the floor. I can get to the floor. Now,
Speaker 3: my daughter always ends up in the floor. She somehow
Speaker 3: finds a way to get to the floor seats. She's
Speaker 3: my kid, she finds a way. So she texted me
Speaker 3: mission accomplished. I'm in. I'm in the I'm in the
Speaker 3: I'm in the pit. I'm in I'm in, I'm in
Speaker 3: the floor seat area, like, okay, great, she's like yep,
Speaker 3: I became friends with the security guards. She got in Okay,
Speaker 3: how does she? I don't know. She's funny and cute
Speaker 3: and she got found away and don't is is she hot? Scary?
Speaker 3: Go fuck yourself? I know I'm asking is she hot?
Speaker 3: These days? How the hell you get past garden security? Question?
Speaker 3: What kind of question is that? How the way he
Speaker 3: talks to me? How do you get that? Hold on?
Speaker 3: Hold on slices? I'm talking to the parents who have
Speaker 3: daughters right now? How do you answer that question? If
Speaker 3: I say no, she's not hot, she's gonna get mad
Speaker 3: at me. And if I say she is hot, that's sick.
Speaker 3: I can't answer that question. I just wow, check mate?
Speaker 3: How great is that? You can't answer that? Because's like
Speaker 3: when did you stop beating your wife? You can't answer
Speaker 3: your question? Well, listen to me. You know the reason
Speaker 3: why I ask. And again, this is all hypothetic. You
Speaker 3: take the take the parent part out of it, take
Speaker 3: the fact that your moves her. No, I can't pretend
Speaker 3: my teenage daughter is hot because I'm pretendial.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, she's of age though she's in college, right,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen her in years. So the reason why
Speaker 2: I asked, you don't you don't have to answer.
Speaker 3: But my daughter is is uh fine, I don't mean fine.
Speaker 3: I'm fine. My daughter is pretty Okay, don't ask me
Speaker 3: if she's so. So there you go. That answers my question.
Speaker 3: Is your daughter a piece of asked?
Speaker 2: Let me know. No, I'm alm only asking because you
Speaker 2: want to follow her on instead. No, No, I'm just
Speaker 2: saying for the context of the story, you say, no,
Speaker 2: she got down there with the guard with the guard
Speaker 2: because to me, those guards are like iron clad.
Speaker 3: You can't get past them. So how the hell does
Speaker 3: she schmooze? I don't know. My mother is in the front,
Speaker 3: she has the tickets. Whatever she did, the point is
Speaker 3: she got in the front. Okay. So she texts me,
Speaker 3: I'm in, I'm in the orchestra, I'm close, I'm I'm
Speaker 3: having a great time. Thank you again for the tickets whatever,
Speaker 3: I said. Okay. So she calls me last night after
Speaker 3: the show at midnight whatever it was shown her way
Speaker 3: back to school. I said, how was the show? It
Speaker 3: was great? Thanks again, she said, I saw Elvis. I said, really, yeah,
Speaker 3: she says, yeah, my friend wanted to get a picture
Speaker 3: with Elvis. She saw him and he said, oh, let's
Speaker 3: go get a picture with Elvis. And she's like, don't
Speaker 3: you want to picture with Elvis? And my daughter's like, no,
Speaker 3: I know, my whole life. It's like he's just like
Speaker 3: family at this point. Whatever. So I said, so you
Speaker 3: were you were so close to the stage that you
Speaker 3: were by where Elvis sits and and and his husband
Speaker 3: and his friends. She's no, no, no, no. I was
Speaker 3: in the front row. Elvis was three rows behind me.
Speaker 2: Now, Elvis would tell you the front row is not
Speaker 2: the greatest because he's too close.
Speaker 3: Fourth throws where it's yeah, no, I've been in the
Speaker 3: front row. Sometimes people leave or they or they moved
Speaker 3: to the center and they leave their seats open. Yeah. Personally,
Speaker 3: I don't like the front row. I like the fourth
Speaker 3: of the fourth row. No, I like the first. It
Speaker 3: depends on who the artist is. If it's a band
Speaker 3: that stays towards the back, the front row is not great.
Speaker 3: But I'll give you for instance, twenty eighteen, maybe it
Speaker 3: was the year that Taylor Swift's birthday was the same
Speaker 3: night as jingle Ball.
Speaker 2: Which was last night as well, December thirteenth. It fell
Speaker 2: on her Birthday's your favorite numbers The thirteenth, right, fell
Speaker 2: on her birthday. Ya a number of years ago. Jingle
Speaker 2: Ball was on her birthday. We got her cake she
Speaker 2: had backstage. Anyway, she came out. It was the year
Speaker 2: she wore like a red tartan plaid top and bottom
Speaker 2: two piece. Hey, carefully throw that tart word around, you know,
Speaker 2: people offended, not tard tartan. Oh sorry, your tart anyway,
Speaker 2: So Taylor came right up to the edge of the
Speaker 2: stage and sings to the people in the first couple
Speaker 2: of rows. So I had my daughters with me in
Speaker 2: the front row because again we moved up because no
Speaker 2: one was there, and we were like two feet away
Speaker 2: from Taylor's feet.
Speaker 3: We look right up at our So that was fine.
Speaker 3: Front row is fine if they come to the edge,
Speaker 3: if they come close to the edge, thank you, yes, hio.
Speaker 3: So yeah, anyway, So she had better seats by the
Speaker 3: end of the night than Elviston h and uh yeah.
Speaker 2: Gracie Abrams performed. Gracie opened for Taylor Swift on Taylor's tour.
Speaker 2: At some point night, Alow with fever Bridges I got.
Speaker 2: I was on a Phoebe Bridges.
Speaker 3: Feeb. You and I went to the same shab Bridges.
Speaker 3: We were at the same baby buggy bumpers. But uh,
Speaker 3: I will tell you.
Speaker 2: After so brody, you weren't there last night after seeing
Speaker 2: or was I Abrams perform last night? No, the way
Speaker 2: she's the way she performs, Uh, the way she sings,
Speaker 2: and the way the audience sings loudly, all in chorus,
Speaker 2: all together with her as going through every lyric of
Speaker 2: every one of her songs. She don't finish my sentences.
Speaker 2: She is the second coming of Taylor Swift. She will
Speaker 2: be there one day. She is She's she's Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: in the making. She is the next Taylor Swift. In
Speaker 2: maybe a few years, it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: Like, I'm not gonna the next Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: No, no hold on Sabrina too. The way and I
Speaker 2: and I say this, and the chapel roanes of the world,
Speaker 2: it's how.
Speaker 3: Many chaperones are that when people say of the world,
Speaker 3: there's not other chapel roons.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is when you get when you get
Speaker 2: an audience screaming every word passionately to every song in
Speaker 2: chorus right back with the artist the way that it happens.
Speaker 2: And on the Ears tour, if you've had if you
Speaker 2: guys have been to the Taylor Swift one of the
Speaker 2: one of her shows, it.
Speaker 3: Happens at every show.
Speaker 2: You don't see that with very many artists at all,
Speaker 2: In fact, none so so the Gracie Abrams effect. That
Speaker 2: the Taylor Swift effect was in full effect when Gracy
Speaker 2: Abrams performed last night. I'm just saying, And on the
Speaker 2: Sabrina Tour, on her Sweet Sour Tour, her Short and
Speaker 2: Sweet Tour, So.
Speaker 3: Can these are gonna be?
Speaker 2: You don't go to enough concerts, Dude, every concert I
Speaker 2: go to, you stick to fans sing along.
Speaker 3: What concents are you going to?
Speaker 2: I go to heavy metal shows they do like you know,
Speaker 2: like you go to Motley cru When they do Home
Speaker 2: Sweet Home, they bringing levels down and everybody sings on
Speaker 2: certain listen to me on certain hold on swift on
Speaker 2: certain songs, hold up. Certain songs are anthems. Everyone's singing
Speaker 2: living on a prayer. Everybody's going crazy. They're doing the words.
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about every note, every word to every song, Sir,
Speaker 2: you don't see that as often you don't think they
Speaker 2: were all singing runaway and and while they what certain songs,
Speaker 2: but out of all of them.
Speaker 3: You give love a bad name.
Speaker 2: Better roses a lot of songs. Most songs and artists
Speaker 2: are performing. They the audience is not singing along to
Speaker 2: every word to every song. Certain songs are anthems, yes,
Speaker 2: but not all songs were.
Speaker 3: My rockers slices, I want you to leave us when
Speaker 3: you go to a rock fucking I sing every word
Speaker 3: that's you as a talkback. You sing when you go
Speaker 3: to a concert, or you do air guitar, one of
Speaker 3: the other. But see Scary goes to DM shows. So
Speaker 3: when they when they play, he goes. It's along with
Speaker 3: the beat. He can't sing. There's no lyrics. Regardless of
Speaker 3: how you feel. I'm telling you, mark my words, mark
Speaker 3: the words talk.
Speaker 2: Get your Gracie Abrams tickets now while you can still
Speaker 2: afford them, and while you can maybe get it. I
Speaker 2: mean she's selling out shows like crazy. The tickets are
Speaker 2: hard enough to get right now, as it is.
Speaker 3: The beauty, the beauty of jingle ball the slices. Here's
Speaker 3: another assignment. You can do this on your own. Google
Speaker 3: the lineup for you, one hundreds jingle Ball every year.
Speaker 3: Every year, look at twenty fifteen's jingle Ball lineup. People
Speaker 3: would die in and go see them.
Speaker 2: They're all the next biggest stars, and then see how
Speaker 2: many of them were actually stars A lot until someone
Speaker 2: has three, four or five big albums.
Speaker 3: Don't tell me they're gonna be the next Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: Don't tell me they're gonna be the next big thing
Speaker 3: because every year, I'm telling you, look at the lineup
Speaker 3: from jingle Ball last night, and I love the guy.
Speaker 3: But do you think Shaboozy is gonna have none? But
Speaker 3: he's not part of this conversation. See what I'm saying, Well,
Speaker 3: you did it right there. All the time. You bring
Speaker 3: people into the conversation that I never even fucking mentioned.
Speaker 3: So he's got nothing to doing. Is what I'm saying
Speaker 3: is you can look at the biggest acts of jingle
Speaker 3: Ball every year, the big ones, not people that big ones. Okay,
Speaker 3: some of them don't continue. I never said one of
Speaker 3: them was a star. But let's go back to the
Speaker 3: Begtail Swift, everybody thirty three.
Speaker 2: All I said was Gracie Abrams Abrams, yep, get Gracie
Speaker 2: Abrams is the new Taylor Swift, mark my words.
Speaker 3: In a few years. Yes, Chapel Roane is going to
Speaker 3: be on that level.
Speaker 2: And as I said in a previous episode of The
Speaker 2: Book and Boys podcast Sabrina Carpenter, They're all on that trajectory.
Speaker 3: They are.
Speaker 2: But I'm not saying I didn't mention Shaboozie. I didn't
Speaker 2: mention you know, any of these other artists that performed
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 3: I didn't bring up Shaboozie as a director. I'm saying
Speaker 3: people are excited about Shaboozi now. People are excited about
Speaker 3: Gracie Abrams, right.
Speaker 2: But I'm making the distinction that, yes, they they're excited now,
Speaker 2: but they will be excited in the future based on
Speaker 2: what I.
Speaker 3: Saw last night. Gracie is very talented. I hope she
Speaker 3: does very well. But you gotta stop making everybody the
Speaker 3: next Tailors.
Speaker 2: Girls are passionate about her. Do you know how many
Speaker 2: Next Beatles there were? Oh, they're the next Beatles, They're
Speaker 2: the next Beatles. It doesn't happen that often. The next
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson, when the next Prince. It's not The lyrics
Speaker 2: are relatable and she I'm telling you but she's got
Speaker 2: to be able to grow with her audience and release
Speaker 2: relative relevant, relatable lyrics every year, for year after year,
Speaker 2: off the year.
Speaker 3: Dude, Taylor Swift's been doing this since two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3: All right, that's all. I wish Gracey Abrams the best
Speaker 3: of luck. But you get it, you got you jump
Speaker 3: on these bandwagons awfully fast, because I know I know what.
Speaker 3: I know what I saw last night at the garden.
Speaker 3: I know what I saw. Okay, gun to your head, slices.
Speaker 3: We're recording this in a year from now. Who's bigger,
Speaker 3: Serena Carpenter Gracey Abrams two years from now? All right, No,
Speaker 3: I'm asking who's bigger of the two of them, Sabrina.
Speaker 3: Interesting boys, boys,
