Speaker 1: I have the app right here, Yep, upside down, yep,
Speaker 1: upside down yep. That's crazy. I have then sapp on
Speaker 1: my phone, so I just turned my phone over. That's awesome. Um,
Speaker 1: sorry I'm late signing on today. Yeah, I mean did
Speaker 1: the usual. Uh oh, my food's late. I'll talk to
Speaker 1: you in a half hour. Well, I've just been going
Speaker 1: through the worst of times with these the worst of
Speaker 1: times with apps, I know, first word problems. Shut up,
Speaker 1: I'm not well, no, no, no, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: like the documentaries, these were the worst of times. They
Speaker 1: were the best of time. No. But someone out there saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you and your problems with the way with food first,
Speaker 1: first world problems. Well, well here's what happened. Right. So
Speaker 1: there's just this one of these new apps, Caviare, I
Speaker 1: think they're they're a division of door Dash, same crap,
Speaker 1: same way, the grubhub and seamless to the same and whatever. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so the other day I ordered this is yesterday, I
Speaker 1: ordered food from Caviare and uh and I'm like, okay, uh,
Speaker 1: make sure you deliver it, you know, the right way. Here.
Speaker 1: I was in touch with the Dasher, you know, the
Speaker 1: dad they called the Dash, not to be confused with
Speaker 1: Ken Dash hell on Q four three in New York.
Speaker 1: Who calls himself the dasher or or the reindeer? Right,
Speaker 1: So I guess the Reindeers more popular then ken okay,
Speaker 1: I would say so so so, So all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the food gets delivered and they take a picture, you know,
Speaker 1: they take a picture of your package Amazon and whatever
Speaker 1: and all that he was taking a picture of my package.
Speaker 1: They take a picture of like Amazon takes a picture
Speaker 1: to show proof that they left it at your doorstep
Speaker 1: with with with Caviare they endoored dash. They take a
Speaker 1: picture of where they left the food. And right away
Speaker 1: I opened the app. There it was the message from
Speaker 1: the dasher and a picture, and it was like it
Speaker 1: was not my door or any door that looks like
Speaker 1: any door in my building. And I'm like, don't they
Speaker 1: went to the wrong address. So I said, no, this
Speaker 1: is not me, this is not where I live. This
Speaker 1: is so what do you think I do? I immediately
Speaker 1: complain and screenshot. I screenshot the wrong address and our
Speaker 1: and our little uh text message dialogue, and then I
Speaker 1: cut it off right before they said I cropped it
Speaker 1: on the screenshot right before they said, okay, I'll deliver it.
Speaker 1: I'll go back and pick it up and deliver it
Speaker 1: to you. And I and I said that to Caviare,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, what up, like what's up with this?
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, we'll give you a full refund
Speaker 1: for your entire dinner and and then we're gonna give
Speaker 1: me ten dollars in credit. Hold on, but wait, but wait,
Speaker 1: but then the dashes shows up in my house with
Speaker 1: the food. So I get to eat the food anyway,
Speaker 1: which was which was sushi, and so it wasn't like
Speaker 1: it was getting cold or anything like that. It was
Speaker 1: every day. Are they gonna take away your credit? You're
Speaker 1: gonna make sure you keep that credit? No they no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I I kept the refund. Suck them. I didn't even
Speaker 1: tell no, no, I ate you free that night that
Speaker 1: because if they asked to ask the driver, the driver
Speaker 1: may go no. I I delivered it even though whatever
Speaker 1: it was, I got that refriended. So and then my
Speaker 1: eighth for free last night and a ten dollar credit
Speaker 1: incentivized me to go back into the app tonight to
Speaker 1: order more food from that place. And how did that go?
Speaker 1: And forty eight minutes later was starting. That's exactly what happened, Brody.
Speaker 1: It was late, late late the restaurant, the restaurant didn't
Speaker 1: put the order in, so the dasher showed up at
Speaker 1: the restaurant and texted me and said, hey, we have
Speaker 1: a problem. You ordered this food twenty five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I'm here to pick it up, and the restaurant didn't
Speaker 1: see your order, Like, how do you? How do you
Speaker 1: funk that up? Now it's on the restaurant, I mean,
Speaker 1: how do you? But I didn't complain. Well, you how
Speaker 1: to get the podcast started? But what's my argument there?
Speaker 1: I mean my food was an hour and a half late,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, well you backed up your whole life.
Speaker 1: You tell me you fu damon Brodie over. I think
Speaker 1: that's gotta be worth something. I think I'd like some
Speaker 1: free food now. That was affect. I was affected by this,
Speaker 1: So tell him you want you want to get card
Speaker 1: or something, and you want also one for me. I
Speaker 1: can just picture the receipts being spit out all the orders,
Speaker 1: and my order gets spit out and it falls into
Speaker 1: a fucking garbage bail. As long as your food is
Speaker 1: not being spit out, you don't want that to happen. No,
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, Like, how does the
Speaker 1: restaurant miss an incoming order? I mean, I guess there's
Speaker 1: nobody there asleep at the wheel. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know what I were You're
Speaker 1: talking about, um, you know, staffing, maybe they're short staffed.
Speaker 1: So uh, my wife says to me, Hey, Sunday, why
Speaker 1: don't we go to this place in such and such town,
Speaker 1: this Italian restaurant, and we'll go there for dinner. Did
Speaker 1: I tell you the story? Uh? I did? So I called,
Speaker 1: I called, and I called up to make a reservation
Speaker 1: for Sunday at five o'clock. And the woman who answers
Speaker 1: the phone says, um, yeah, so a table for two, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can do a table for two. Um, but we
Speaker 1: don't have a waitress, so there's no one to serve you.
Speaker 1: So I said, um, wait a minute, there's no one
Speaker 1: to serve me. So do I serve myself? Do I
Speaker 1: go to the window and run my own food? What
Speaker 1: are we talking about? And she just no, What what
Speaker 1: happens is you can, Um, you can take the food
Speaker 1: to go and then unpack it and sit at the
Speaker 1: table if you want. That's classless. And I and what
Speaker 1: do I tip myself? How do I get a drink? Well?
Speaker 1: You know, uh, you can you can access to the
Speaker 1: water tower and refill your water glasses if you want,
Speaker 1: I said, are you sure? She goes We have no
Speaker 1: staff coming in on Sunday, no waitress, I said, is
Speaker 1: that on purpose? No? She she called out. So on
Speaker 1: a Sunday, an Italian restaurant has one server, and she
Speaker 1: called out, so I can take my to go food.
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, We're gonna go to a
Speaker 1: different place. No offense, Yeah, no offense, No imagine would
Speaker 1: you do that? Like, I feel bad for them, but
Speaker 1: if I want to pack it up, the option don't
Speaker 1: open for the day because the servant didn't show up.
Speaker 1: At least it can make some money. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: tough out there right now. They can't find people who
Speaker 1: work these shifts. They can't. Absolutely. I was just surprised
Speaker 1: you didn't say, like, hey, it's to go only well shoes.
Speaker 1: On the other foot, you can pretty much demand what
Speaker 1: you want. You can get paid a higher, much higher rate,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean the power is in the hands
Speaker 1: of the worker at this point. If you ask me, no,
Speaker 1: not so much. The problem is there's so many people
Speaker 1: looking for some jobs right and there's so many better
Speaker 1: jobs that people don't want to do the jobs they
Speaker 1: used to do. That's what I'm saying. But so the
Speaker 1: people that have those jobs, that still have them, they've
Speaker 1: got a lot of power if you ask me, and
Speaker 1: they could they could demand that. That waitress who called
Speaker 1: in on Sunday said, you know what, if you don't
Speaker 1: double my salary, I will come in next week either
Speaker 1: and then you've got nobody for next weekend, like like
Speaker 1: you can actually or maybe she has for a raise
Speaker 1: and they said, get the funk out. Could be we'd
Speaker 1: rather go to go only. So hey, uh, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you do in this situation, but I was
Speaker 1: offered a free steak dinner. Sound familiar. Oh, well, then
Speaker 1: you're gonna wait twelve years. Well no, let me see you. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I mean I'm gonna correct you. Um, it's
Speaker 1: actually ten years. We are at the ten year anniversary,
Speaker 1: I believe of the steak dinner. Roughly yeah, roughly. Well,
Speaker 1: our friend Gandhi was invited by Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Oh
Speaker 1: I was there last week. Yeah. Oh I've got the room.
Speaker 1: Thank you for reminding me. I've got a roots Chris story.
Speaker 1: You go first. Well, here we are, it was she
Speaker 1: They said to her, we are we want to hook
Speaker 1: you up with a free steak dinner and wine pairing.
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, and you bring a couple of friends.
Speaker 1: So what what what night was this last night? So
Speaker 1: she Wednesday? There was a special wine pairing dinner on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: My wife and I went to Oh, oh did you really? Yeah,
Speaker 1: last Wednesday? Okay, wait, hold on, hold wait before you,
Speaker 1: before you was it free? Okay? So this one was free?
Speaker 1: They invited. They said, Gandhi, bring two of your friends,
Speaker 1: and she chose our friend Cheryl Crowley and myself and
Speaker 1: me me, and then the three of us went yesterday
Speaker 1: because she's famous or she put her name in a hat. No,
Speaker 1: that's exactly it. What's the catch? She's a regular there
Speaker 1: with Cheryl and I sometimes join and then from going
Speaker 1: in every week. They said to her, Hey, look on
Speaker 1: this day on Wednesday, on Tuesday, feel free to come
Speaker 1: in on this date at six o'clock. Um, we want
Speaker 1: to treat you to a steak dinner with a wine
Speaker 1: pairing and it's gonna be totally free, and you can
Speaker 1: bring two guests. So she naturally calls me up. I'm
Speaker 1: like right there, and I said all right, cool, let's go.
Speaker 1: So show up. We get there. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: when you get into this room beside room, what's going
Speaker 1: on in here? Okay, this is gonna have some wine pairing.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some steak. And I see a woman
Speaker 1: there collecting information. She hands me a clipboard and she goes,
Speaker 1: I just filled this out. I'm like really, and we
Speaker 1: all have to register and sign in, okay, And on
Speaker 1: each and on each table there was a tripod with
Speaker 1: an iPhone and a microphone on each fucking table. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on here? And God's like, what's
Speaker 1: going on here? And they were like, yeah, well, welcome,
Speaker 1: welcome to our focus group on wine. You've got time shared,
Speaker 1: I got time shared free the bottle of to kill of.
Speaker 1: You sit for an hour and they're like yeah. And
Speaker 1: then they closed the door and we're sitting down. Now.
Speaker 1: Now we're sitting there with wine and and and this
Speaker 1: clipboard in front of us and this microphone with this phone.
Speaker 1: And then I said to them, yes, so this is
Speaker 1: a six thirty. I said, so, well, what time was
Speaker 1: this run to? And they're like yeah, at nine o'clock
Speaker 1: and gone. He's like, oh, hell no, I gotta get
Speaker 1: out of here, I can't so here she was thinking again,
Speaker 1: maybe because she's sweet and innocent and unsuspecting, when this
Speaker 1: is the same girl who said she got a free
Speaker 1: TV at the card dealership. All she didna do was
Speaker 1: go pick it up. The poor, the poor thing, but well,
Speaker 1: the poor all of us, because now I'm roped in
Speaker 1: and she's texting me and Cheryl at the tables like
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I roped you into this.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Of course you had no idea.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have shown up, I don't think, but you
Speaker 1: gonna ask questions and just like, oh, come for a
Speaker 1: free dinner. It gets worse. It wasn't even a full dinner.
Speaker 1: It was It was literally a buffet where they just
Speaker 1: took the bunch of fileton, chopped it up and put
Speaker 1: it under a French fry lamp and then a CHICOUONERI
Speaker 1: board next to it and said go help yourself, and
Speaker 1: I'm like what what, Oh my god, the booze bastard
Speaker 1: inside of you must have been dying. Well, um, steak
Speaker 1: under a heat lamp. Here's the worst part. Well, fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes before that, I had a chance to go out
Speaker 1: with my other friends to go to dinner. And I
Speaker 1: was like, laying in bed. I'm like, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if I want to go. And then Gan he's like,
Speaker 1: just come, just come. I said, all right, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna put on some pants and walk up the block
Speaker 1: because that's all it required. And I'm like, all right, oh, steak,
Speaker 1: you know steak. And I'm sitting there thinking like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great, until it was it was okay, listen.
Speaker 1: I will say at the end of the day that
Speaker 1: it was very interesting to get into a conversation, an
Speaker 1: intellectual conversation about wine. But they obviously wanted to steer
Speaker 1: us in the direction of this cific brand. And what
Speaker 1: was the brand? Staggs Leap. Never heard of it, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's very famous brand. Well, first of all, stags Leap
Speaker 1: is from the stags Leap region of Napa Valley, California,
Speaker 1: and there's several different stags Leaps brand, but this was
Speaker 1: a stag Leap stags Leap wine seller. By the way,
Speaker 1: have you have you done Nappa with Robin? No? Okay,
Speaker 1: because we're sitting I'm gonna tell you about the dinner.
Speaker 1: But we were sitting at the wine dinner last Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and my wife says, you know, we really should plan
Speaker 1: a trip to Napa. Yeah, oh okay, so I got
Speaker 1: him now. She said, I wish someone would play just
Speaker 1: it's actually what you said was gosh, it's so much effort,
Speaker 1: but I wish someone would plan a trip to Napa
Speaker 1: for me. And I'm thinking, who else is going to
Speaker 1: do that? Of course it's me, like, of course, you know,
Speaker 1: so that's that's apparently now on my list. Well, so
Speaker 1: I'll say this, um, the you know Robin and I well, well,
Speaker 1: actually no, sorry, Gandhi and I and Cheryl. We were
Speaker 1: sitting there. We we talked about this wine. We you know,
Speaker 1: we gave out raining how he felt about no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: They had a moderator at each table. There was a
Speaker 1: bi orator asking us questions, showing us different label versions
Speaker 1: of what they want to do with the brand going forward. Wow,
Speaker 1: my wife would have loved it. It It was called the
Speaker 1: wine is called Artemist. It's their top selling Stag's Leap wine.
Speaker 1: H And at the end of the night, to be
Speaker 1: all kidding aside, it was educational and it was fun
Speaker 1: and I felt like my input meant something and I
Speaker 1: do drink Stag's leap Artemis, So it was kind of
Speaker 1: hurt you drink a glass of wine ever, absolutely and
Speaker 1: uh and that you're a hard liquor guy, and so
Speaker 1: I know, but I sometimes I like wine to start
Speaker 1: my night right or at least with an Italian meal.
Speaker 1: What I mean when you when you're pre gaming with
Speaker 1: the girls before you go out. Yeah, with my Brie
Speaker 1: and my crackers. Is that her name Brian Crackers And
Speaker 1: that's the new podcast. That's a new podcast on Barstool
Speaker 1: Easy to spin off, Brian Crackers. Crackers. Well, I'll say
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say is I'm trademarking that right now
Speaker 1: for by the time you guys hear this, it's trademarked
Speaker 1: done too late hashtag Brien Crackers. Uh. So I'll say this, Um,
Speaker 1: we were tricked. Um. I don't use it on fall
Speaker 1: for stuff like this. But Gandhi was in control, and
Speaker 1: all I did was say yes, yes, I'll show up.
Speaker 1: But she felt stupid because she's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe this. I got tricked again. But but
Speaker 1: people and slices, you should know this. It's like, if
Speaker 1: it's too good to be true, it probably is right, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you were advertised free dinner. We thought we
Speaker 1: were getting like this six course amazing meal with a
Speaker 1: wine pairing at each course, and we get to talk
Speaker 1: to the monk, talking amongst ourselves. Instead we got a
Speaker 1: three hour conversation with microphones in our face and questionnaires
Speaker 1: and people scribbling things up on a piece of paper
Speaker 1: while we're having a conversation over French fry lamp file
Speaker 1: at Mignon and charcuterie. Yeah, so that's what I got.
Speaker 1: So we got whatever. It was still free, and if
Speaker 1: it's for free, it's for me. Let me ask you
Speaker 1: a question while we're still on this topic real quick.
Speaker 1: I know you wanna, you wanna. We gotta take a break.
Speaker 1: But let's say hypothetically you asked to go to the
Speaker 1: free dinner, right, they called you and they said, scary,
Speaker 1: we'd like you to come and bring two friends. Let's
Speaker 1: say hypothetically the seventeen people you asked before me weren't available, Okay,
Speaker 1: and then as number eighteen, I'm going right, So you
Speaker 1: and I go and we have this meal. Would you
Speaker 1: then once again claim that you gave me my free
Speaker 1: steak dinner? Literally, Yes, fuck you hit the button with
Speaker 1: B and Scary'll tell you about my steak dinner, my
Speaker 1: wine dinner. So every I don't know. Every few months
Speaker 1: Ruth's Chris, and they explained it again. Why it's Ruth's
Speaker 1: Chris uh and Chris Steak and it was Christ Ruth.
Speaker 1: Ruth bought it and it burned down. But when she
Speaker 1: wanted to reopen it in another part of New Orleans
Speaker 1: or New Orleans, New Orleans, Uh, she wasn't legally able
Speaker 1: to call it Chris's Steakhouse. So since she owned it,
Speaker 1: she called it Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and our master. Okay,
Speaker 1: So they do these wine tasting dinners, legitimate ones. Whereto, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not that, not that, which is better pepsi or coke?
Speaker 1: Thing you did? And what they do is they give
Speaker 1: you like a five course meal, like a small plates,
Speaker 1: and they match up a wine by whatever wine company
Speaker 1: is sponsoring the dinner. We've done prisoner wine this particular
Speaker 1: week was Camus c A y m U. I'm very
Speaker 1: familiar with Camus. It came up in our conversation and
Speaker 1: our focus group. Yes, in fact, the Camus vineyards make
Speaker 1: a lot of wines that a lot of people listening
Speaker 1: may have had, so look them up there. They're also
Speaker 1: very high end. Yeah, well they're they're also medium end.
Speaker 1: They have medium and high end. Okay, So I decided
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not the drinker. So I ordered off
Speaker 1: the regular menu and my wife had the five course
Speaker 1: meal and with the five glasses of wine, with the
Speaker 1: half glasses of wine, we had a wait, a wonderful night.
Speaker 1: At the end of the night. When we first walked in,
Speaker 1: I should say, there's a poster on the wall and it's, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, crooked walker or something. It's something walking fool,
Speaker 1: walking fool. That's it. That's the sequel to your walking
Speaker 1: to walk right right walking fools. So there's a poster
Speaker 1: on the wall of a guy with like, um, a
Speaker 1: wooden bar across his back holding too like jugs of
Speaker 1: wine on each end, you know, like that, Okay, And
Speaker 1: it's and I noticed the post is on the wall
Speaker 1: because it's crooked. And I'm a big like I bothers
Speaker 1: to me when the ship's crooked, so I'm I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it. It's in the it's in the front of
Speaker 1: the room, where again it's the private room. Like you
Speaker 1: were in and the general manager is there in his tents, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know about thirty people, six tables of people
Speaker 1: who are signed up for this special private thing. It
Speaker 1: wasn't it was. It was. It was pricy, but not
Speaker 1: like extraordinary, but it was okay. So I had my meal,
Speaker 1: she had hard meal. And at the end of the night,
Speaker 1: so I'm sorry. Beginning of the night, there's these cards
Speaker 1: on the table. They're like, they're like a guest list,
Speaker 1: like a mailing list thing. So my wife fills it
Speaker 1: out for me and fills it out for her. She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: whatever this is, we'll both get emails. So this way,
Speaker 1: if there's something special, will both see the email. Look, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. And the girl comes around she collects all
Speaker 1: the cards. I don't think anything of it. End of
Speaker 1: the night, oh, I should say. The general manager is
Speaker 1: giving a speech and he plays a video about the
Speaker 1: Kamis vineyards. Before he plays it, he's like, let me
Speaker 1: tell you what you're in for tonight. And every time
Speaker 1: he starts talking or the video starts playing, the large
Speaker 1: table to our right, that's when they have to talk.
Speaker 1: He's like, okay. So the first course giants and the
Speaker 1: Jets and the football, and they're just like as if
Speaker 1: he's not there. It's a small private room at a
Speaker 1: quiet steakhouse, and I have to like strain to hear
Speaker 1: over him, and every time he talks, it's like he
Speaker 1: hit a button and they have to talk. Okay, So
Speaker 1: end of the night, he says, all right, well, let's
Speaker 1: do our raffle, and then um, after the raffle, we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna auction and off, I'm sorry, we're gonna
Speaker 1: sell off whatever bottles we didn't use tonight. We have
Speaker 1: a few bottles of each of the Kames brand that
Speaker 1: we drank tonight, that you know. And so my wife says, well,
Speaker 1: you know, i'd really like the uh the crooked What
Speaker 1: did I say? Was the crooked fool, the walking fool?
Speaker 1: Out of the fool, the walking fool. The poster was crooked,
Speaker 1: that's right. So she's you know, i'd really like a
Speaker 1: bottle of the walking full. So uh like all right, well,
Speaker 1: she was, it's probably expensive though, so maybe we shouldn't
Speaker 1: get it. I'm like, well, you know, the dinner was pricey,
Speaker 1: but if you like it that much, let's see what
Speaker 1: they if they're charging us, like, you know, retail price
Speaker 1: or whole. So let's see what the price is. So
Speaker 1: he says, I, before we get to the wine, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do a raffle for a bottle of wine. So
Speaker 1: they call out a name and some guy wins the
Speaker 1: bottle of wine. They go all right, now we're gonna
Speaker 1: do the raffle for the poster on the wall of
Speaker 1: the Walking Fool. Then the winner of the poster of

Speaker 1: around and mid ask if anybody wants those bottles. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I said, well, how much is the Walking Fool?
Speaker 1: So he says it's forty a bottle, so little pricing.
Speaker 1: We just spent a lot of money on dinner. My
Speaker 1: wife says, you know what, forget it. Just we don't
Speaker 1: need to spend that kind of money. I said, well,
Speaker 1: let me think about it. So like two minutes later,
Speaker 1: the general manager comes over. He says, listen, we're about
Speaker 1: to start selling off the wine. I know you might
Speaker 1: be interested in the bottle um. But before we get
Speaker 1: into that, the gentleman over there at the front table
Speaker 1: in the brown sport jacket, I really would like to
Speaker 1: buy the poster from you that you just want, and
Speaker 1: he's offering fifty dollars. Would you be interested in selling
Speaker 1: it to him? I said, give it to him. Here
Speaker 1: it is, I said, here it is. I would I
Speaker 1: would have pulled up, pulled out my phone first to
Speaker 1: see if this thing was worth any money. No, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a poster. He wanted the poster anyway. So
Speaker 1: I said, here's what you do. Take the fifty from him,
Speaker 1: take fortrself, bring me the bottle of wine, and I'll
Speaker 1: take the ten. He goes, all right, you got it,
Speaker 1: And so he goes, all right, we have one bottle
Speaker 1: of the one. He goes over to the guy. The
Speaker 1: guy takes the poster handsome fifty dollars. The guy takes
Speaker 1: ten dollars of it, grabs the bottle of wine, walks
Speaker 1: over to the table, gives me the ten bucks. I
Speaker 1: hand the bottle of wine to my wife. Go here
Speaker 1: you go, enjoy your expensive bottle of wine. I mean
Speaker 1: relatively expensive. So I like how you wheel and deal
Speaker 1: at the table like that. Yeah, I was, I said
Speaker 1: to I said to my wife, I said, should I
Speaker 1: take the fifty? Maybe just take more? He was, just
Speaker 1: take the fifty, take to fifty. Run. So the guy
Speaker 1: pulled the poster from me. So I I don't know
Speaker 1: if I should say I won the poster, I won
Speaker 1: fifty bucks or I won the bottle of one. It
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. A winner. You came out of winner,
Speaker 1: you came out of winter. Yes, yeah, here I was.
Speaker 1: I'm going I want a poster and that guy apparently
Speaker 1: was salivating like he didn't even try to lowball me.
Speaker 1: He could have said, like all of the guy dollars
Speaker 1: and I would have gone back and I went, I'll
Speaker 1: take it. He started at fifty. Yeah, I'm taking the fifty.
Speaker 1: Can I just wish my parents a happy fiftieth anniversary? Sure,
Speaker 1: I mean sure, an accomplishment. I mean to be together
Speaker 1: all those years. That's crazy. They had they had you
Speaker 1: and then they got married like what five years later.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's insane. So my brother and my
Speaker 1: sister and I we uh we threw a surprise fiftieth
Speaker 1: anniversary party for them at a restaurant Hoboken, This place Augustinos.
Speaker 1: At that age, you didn't jump out and yellow a surprise,
Speaker 1: did you. No? No, no, They thought they were going
Speaker 1: to dinner with me and Robbin and h The two
Speaker 1: of the two of us escorted them into the restaurant
Speaker 1: where they're all of well, a lot of their friends
Speaker 1: were hanging out in their screaming surprise. We took we
Speaker 1: we took over the whole place. This was on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and I can't believe we pulled it off. But thank
Speaker 1: god for Facebook because I had to go sneaking around
Speaker 1: my parents back because usually if I'm planning a surprise
Speaker 1: to my father, my mom's involved in vice versa or
Speaker 1: vice versa. Well this case, they were both. I had
Speaker 1: we were all out in the dark because it was
Speaker 1: the surprise was for the both of them. So so
Speaker 1: I had to go do some research on my mom's
Speaker 1: Facebook and then start messaging them d m ng her,
Speaker 1: you know, the friends, the ones that I recognized. It
Speaker 1: turns out we got everybody and then the just the
Speaker 1: right amount of people fell off where they where they
Speaker 1: couldn't make it, and we we filled up the entire
Speaker 1: restaurant just right. But we got the credit for inviting everybody,
Speaker 1: So that's the best part. So and yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was just it was a really nice time. You know. Again,
Speaker 1: there's there's no real real point here other than happy anniversary,
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad. I love you. That's all from your son. Anthony,
Speaker 1: Who's Anthony? Now, did June, did you make it look
Speaker 1: like you threw the party and not your siblings. No, no,
Speaker 1: we shared it equal credit. But you know, the thing
Speaker 1: about my parents is every time we try and get
Speaker 1: them present, whatever holiday it is, it always goes back
Speaker 1: to the store the next day. It's always I don't
Speaker 1: want to take it back and keep your money. So
Speaker 1: so we know how finicky they are. And my brother
Speaker 1: and my sister we were all like we were three
Speaker 1: of us were scheming. I'm like, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: give them an experience and this is something they can't
Speaker 1: take back. And in the end they loved it and
Speaker 1: they allowed us. You know, we we paid the bill,
Speaker 1: We took care the whole thing, and we got him
Speaker 1: a cake, flowers balloons, you know, the mile R fifth
Speaker 1: gold five zero balloon. So my we were walking out
Speaker 1: of the restaurant and these three girls come walking down
Speaker 1: the street at in our direction like, oh, happy fifty birthday.
Speaker 1: My mother, Oh she must have loved that. She did, happy,
Speaker 1: thank you. Well, what if they said that to you,
Speaker 1: you'd be pissed. Well, yeah, I think God, I wasn't
Speaker 1: helping the balloon. You wouldn't. You never would have held
Speaker 1: those balloon people like someone's gonna take a picture. I
Speaker 1: think I'm fifty. No, that's great. Fifty years. Can you imagine?
Speaker 1: That's a lot. I mean, people don't stay with you.
Speaker 1: You can't do one. You're terrible. You're terrible. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm I I can't you know what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think now because I know how long I've been married. Wow,
Speaker 1: I got married. I guess later than your parents did
Speaker 1: because when I wow, well they were years. They were
Speaker 1: twenty five when they had me, So I was so
Speaker 1: they were married, Wow, twenty three. You'll imagine think about
Speaker 1: what your lunch was like that. No, they were married
Speaker 1: at twenty five because they're now seventy five, so that
Speaker 1: would me so that Yeah, so I was doing twenty
Speaker 1: seven when they had me. Oh okay, okay, all right, Las,
Speaker 1: I don't judge age. I'm just saying, like, for me,
Speaker 1: I think about when I when I was twenty five,
Speaker 1: I was in I was in no position to get married.
Speaker 1: I was living at home. I was one of my
Speaker 1: parents at five, So were you really weren't my parents?
Speaker 1: You're living with your parents? Moved out like I moved
Speaker 1: out of twenty five. Yeah, right now people are going
Speaker 1: what yeah, so a lot of people move out of
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen years old. They move out, Yeah, but they
Speaker 1: get kicked out at sixteen for being different. But you
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the stereotype about you know,
Speaker 1: people that live in Brooklyn and their their basement Italian basement.
Speaker 1: Is like you it's state till your forty. I mean, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know my cousin Carbine, I mean, he never moved
Speaker 1: out of his parents house. Now he's living there by himself,
Speaker 1: but he never moved out of his bedroom, his childhood bedroom.
Speaker 1: He's still there. Crazy right, Yeah, Well, my daughter is
Speaker 1: looking for an apartment, my oldest daughter who moved back
Speaker 1: from Europe. She's looking. She's looking to move out and
Speaker 1: to get her own apartment. She's like, she's like, well,
Speaker 1: you didn't pay rent when you were my age. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I lived at home. My parents didn't pay my
Speaker 1: rent that they were I was, you know, I was
Speaker 1: living under their rent. But it wasn't like they paid
Speaker 1: for a second apartment. What could she afford at this point?
Speaker 1: Could she afford to be on her own, like I mean,
Speaker 1: or she she's she's got a few a couple of
Speaker 1: roommates in mind that she found a place she likes
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, not in our part of Brooklyn, to say,
Speaker 1: the hipster Brooklyn. Yeah, more like that. That's more heart auntsy.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah yeah. So she's she's found a place and
Speaker 1: she's looking at But she made a comment like, you
Speaker 1: know a lot of my friends and parents paid for
Speaker 1: I was like, listen, when I was your age, I
Speaker 1: didn't have to pay rent. I lived at home. She's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that, so I just living here, living
Speaker 1: here now. But she's like I'm done, like I found
Speaker 1: a place finally. So alright, Well, we gotta take a
Speaker 1: break real quick here. How about that? Fine, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you about the uh the ugly ship on some guy's head.
Speaker 1: How about that? Oh it's the podcast. Man, what a
Speaker 1: headline that was? What a tea. Well, I want to
Speaker 1: tell you I went to a couple of concerts this
Speaker 1: past weekend. I went to one on Friday, no one
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and one on Monday, and then one on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I went to You're getting around there, David Brodie. Well,
Speaker 1: I got a lot of free time these days, so
Speaker 1: I went to imagine going to me going out to
Speaker 1: a concert on a Monday. I haven't been able to
Speaker 1: do that on Monday. On a Monday twenty four years
Speaker 1: so I went to a concert venue that has a
Speaker 1: kitchen and I had a table in the back. It
Speaker 1: was one of those like a you know, the tables
Speaker 1: and the general mission and on the floor, and I
Speaker 1: want to get some eats. So I got to The
Speaker 1: concert started at seven thirty. So I got to the venue.
Speaker 1: Uh in te Neck, New Jersey. If you know where
Speaker 1: Tea Neck is, it's more than New Jersey off your
Speaker 1: lovely Root four which runs east west and Tea Neck.
Speaker 1: Everything was closed when I got there. The whole town
Speaker 1: was shut down. But I was starving and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to go and get like, you know, burghers and
Speaker 1: fries in the concert venue. So I see there's a
Speaker 1: pizza place on the corner, so I will over to
Speaker 1: the pizza place. And there's a guy behind the counter
Speaker 1: and as a woman walking around the floor. And it's
Speaker 1: at this point it's like seven fifteen, so it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's not really well lit, but it's not dark,
Speaker 1: so it's like in between. So I'm like, maybe it's
Speaker 1: happy hour. They dimmed the lights so I would open
Speaker 1: the door. The doors locked, so I said I'm dying
Speaker 1: for a slice of pizza. I go, excuse me, are
Speaker 1: you closed? And he is eight o'clock. I said, you
Speaker 1: close at eight because it's seven fifteen. Now we open
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. What scary? They opened at eight o'clock
Speaker 1: on a Saturday. They closed in the afternoon, and they
Speaker 1: opened for a late dinner. And I guess the bar crowd,
Speaker 1: I don't know, at eight o'clock that clocked up them. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe they wait for the sundown. Us shot is pizza place.
Speaker 1: It was definitely not a kosher I wonder, and it
Speaker 1: was just was it just like that day that they
Speaker 1: did that at eight o'clock? Was specially there was there
Speaker 1: was no sign on the door that told the it
Speaker 1: was very weird. Okay, So I went in. I ended up.
Speaker 1: I had to order food because I didn't making any money.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Although there is this
Speaker 1: place in Jersey City called Bread and Salt and m
Speaker 1: Dave port on a new podcast, Bread and Salt. Dave Portnoy,
Speaker 1: the barstool guy that does the pizza reviews um he
Speaker 1: was just there too, and he commented to the same thing.
Speaker 1: They're hours are like like Monday through Saturday, literally like
Speaker 1: noon to four. That's it. So you pizza. If it's
Speaker 1: like that, that's a big fuck you to the public.
Speaker 1: I mean this place, bread and Salt, I mean, could
Speaker 1: you imagine that? Just just guess whatever they have, you
Speaker 1: have to go when they go. But podcastle to call
Speaker 1: your own shots and then go home. Be nice, go
Speaker 1: home for dinner. I don't need your money. Twelve to four,
Speaker 1: that's all you get. You want it, you know when
Speaker 1: we're open. If you have a job, you can't eat there.
Speaker 1: If Bread and Salt was our podcast, you'd be bread.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, because you're a salty motherfuck salty motherfucker and
Speaker 1: you like carbs. I love it. I'm dude, I'm car
Speaker 1: b b dude. I put the carbon carbone. That's right,
Speaker 1: you put the you don't put the bone in. I hope. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I go to order and she says, oh, the burger.
Speaker 1: Car I ordered the burger, which, by the way, I
Speaker 1: made the mistake of even even bothering and wasting my
Speaker 1: speech and saying medium rare because it's like a tiny
Speaker 1: concert like club. They're not gonna the chef back. There
Speaker 1: is not you know, not whearing the chef had it's
Speaker 1: either raw or burned. Yeah, so I was from medium rare.
Speaker 1: It came out like a hockey puck. But right, So
Speaker 1: I said, there the fries steak fries. She said, Now,
Speaker 1: remember remember the guy a couple of weeks ago in
Speaker 1: Ireland he ordered the jamison neat with ice. Yes, So
Speaker 1: I say, are the steak fries? Are the fries steak fries?
Speaker 1: Because I like steak fries, and she says, yeah, they're
Speaker 1: they're really thin ones. So they're they're they're the unsteaked
Speaker 1: fries because because the steak fries, well, you know, some
Speaker 1: people who are listening, in all fairness may not know
Speaker 1: what steak fries are. Waitress, she's a waitress. So I said,
Speaker 1: stake fries with by the way, the big fat ones
Speaker 1: that have a lot of a lot of mush inside
Speaker 1: of the potato. Yeah, they're usually like six inches five
Speaker 1: inches long and about a half inch to an inch wide.
Speaker 1: So I, yeah, so I I wish, So I said,
Speaker 1: so I said, oh, are they more like shoe string potatoes?
Speaker 1: She goes, no, they're straight. They could very well bet
Speaker 1: shoes string if there's yes. But she's thought, there, I
Speaker 1: mean curly fries, like she just doesn't understand the vernacular
Speaker 1: of the potato. So I got believe me, it tasted
Speaker 1: as much. It was just cut the waffle fries. No,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know because because because they had
Speaker 1: an option of sweet potato fries. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I don't know why sweet potato fries always more of
Speaker 1: but up charge. I mean I do, but they're they're
Speaker 1: always like I would pay like fifty cents more, but
Speaker 1: when it's two dollars more for sweet potatoes, fuck you right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's it's gourmet. You're not at that point. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's not. It's a different potato. It's not even a
Speaker 1: sweet potato fries. Andre not potatoes. That's what they call him,
Speaker 1: sweet potato. It's it's it's a root vegetable. Yeah, it's um.
Speaker 1: It's it's not even a it's a it's a yam.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's the sweet potato is not
Speaker 1: really considered a potato. It is called it, but the
Speaker 1: consistency is more like a root vegetable or a lagoon
Speaker 1: or I could be wrong, but google that. Google it.
Speaker 1: I'm not no, no, I'm it's it's um. It's a boomer.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a tumor. What is it called auber tuber?
Speaker 1: That's it, thank you, it is it's not a tuba, yeah,
Speaker 1: not a tuba. It's a tuber. Yeah, it's a tuber.
Speaker 1: But technically sweet potatoes or yams. So maybe maybe tubers
Speaker 1: are more expensive than potato. I don't know, but two
Speaker 1: dollars for like a handful of whatever. So let me
Speaker 1: tell you about the concert. So I so I went
Speaker 1: to that concert and that was fine. So I went
Speaker 1: to see a couple of um four guys. We three
Speaker 1: guys who used to be the lead singers of bands
Speaker 1: that were very big in the late eighties. So like
Speaker 1: hair metal bands, okay, and there was a band uh
Speaker 1: that that was like um, like fourth tier. Like they
Speaker 1: weren't like Motley Crue. They weren't poison, they weren't kiss
Speaker 1: and they weren't they were like, they weren't rat, they
Speaker 1: weren't twisted sister. They were like the band that opened
Speaker 1: for the band that was the band you went to see, right,
Speaker 1: But a couple of heads. Right. But so back in
Speaker 1: the day, if you went to concerts in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties, looks like steel Heart like a band like that,
Speaker 1: like a one. Yeah, this band was a little bigger
Speaker 1: than Steel Hard. They were called Danger Danger, and the
Speaker 1: lead singer was there. Now, back in the day, when
Speaker 1: you go to concerts from those bands, they would have pyro, right,
Speaker 1: explosions and fire and flames and like like crazy shit.
Speaker 1: Right in the eighties, that was crazy ship and when
Speaker 1: you went to a concert, right, So I'm in this
Speaker 1: little club and the four of them are doing acoustic
Speaker 1: sets and the headline, who was Tony Harnell, who was
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite singers from a band
Speaker 1: called T ANDT. He's like a six eight octive voice.
Speaker 1: Amazing anyway, So today's pyro for a guy in his
Speaker 1: sixties who's still singing and doesn't have his band with
Speaker 1: him at the moment. He says, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna go crazy here right now, and he opens
Speaker 1: up a plastic bag and it's full of just empty balloons,
Speaker 1: like just balloons, not blown up with his name on them,
Speaker 1: Ted Polly, and he throws a handful of balloons into
Speaker 1: the crowd, unblown up, and says, all right, you're crazy bastards.
Speaker 1: Blow those up and we'll throw him around. Wait, what
Speaker 1: that is? What eighties Pyro has turned into is a
Speaker 1: guy with a bag of balloons who throws a fistful
Speaker 1: of them onto the floor in general admission and people
Speaker 1: pick them up and blow them up and then bounce
Speaker 1: them around like beach balls. Oh, how the mighty have fallen? Oh,
Speaker 1: how the mighty have fallen. So the club is really
Speaker 1: small and this maybe I don't know, a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty people at the show. It's a small intimate club
Speaker 1: and it's acoustic. It's supposed to be a small intimate thing,
Speaker 1: and you you pay for it. It was a decent
Speaker 1: amount of money. It was a nice show, and so
Speaker 1: if you get up front you can be The stage
Speaker 1: is like scary. The stage is like two and a
Speaker 1: half feet high, two ft You can literally step up
Speaker 1: onto the stage. Of course, so the singer is really
Speaker 1: three ft from you. Yes, guys that used to have
Speaker 1: to go see at Masson Square Garden now like you
Speaker 1: know right there. Okay, So these two guys with at
Speaker 1: the show who were not my age, they were probably
Speaker 1: like late twenties, right, maybe their parents listen to the music.
Speaker 1: Whatever the reason, they were there, and they had jackets
Speaker 1: on like denim jackets with patches from the eighties, and
Speaker 1: they looked like they were at a Halloween contest to
Speaker 1: dress like you were from the eighties. Meanwhile, all of
Speaker 1: us who lived back then, none of us were dressed
Speaker 1: like that. We're all dressed like adults going to a concert.
Speaker 1: So they were drunk. They had long hair that they
Speaker 1: looked like the drunk guys from now. Again, the singer
Speaker 1: is four ft away from you. So every time they
Speaker 1: would speak and say something like, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take it back to our second nought this calling out
Speaker 1: song title. So this it's a quiet club, right because
Speaker 1: it's quiet so that the singers are like him him.
Speaker 1: You know, well we'll get to that, of course. It's
Speaker 1: one of our heads. We'll get to it a couple
Speaker 1: of songs later, right. I So, uh, joining me on
Speaker 1: drums is Tony Tony come out here the play a
Speaker 1: little give me a little treaty, don't it? I know it?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? And the two of them are high five
Speaker 1: in each other, and they're like and and and there's
Speaker 1: nobody in the club like to tell them to shut up,
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna tell them because they're huge guys
Speaker 1: and every band that came out they were big fans of,
Speaker 1: and they kept yelling, and it got to the point
Speaker 1: where the thing is like, yeah, man, we're gonna get it.
Speaker 1: We're gon We're not right, We're not gonna blown right, Like,
Speaker 1: these bands had two hits, and if you're a rock
Speaker 1: fan then you know the other songs. But radio play
Speaker 1: they had two hits, right, T and T had like
Speaker 1: eleven hits. But in fact, by the way, when you
Speaker 1: go to any concert and you go to the and
Speaker 1: you see an opener open for the headline act, just
Speaker 1: know that the opener will always do their biggest song last,
Speaker 1: because that's the chance to be most seen and the
Speaker 1: most people will be in their seats. Right. Also, if
Speaker 1: you do if you do the hit first and it
Speaker 1: goes again to soda or nobody cares, right, they're just
Speaker 1: waiting on that one song. I get it. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: And so these guys are yelling at don't understand that content.
Speaker 1: I don't think they cared that. They just wanted the
Speaker 1: song they wanted. And it's like saying, hey, everything else
Speaker 1: you ever did is ship. Ship is ship. It's like
Speaker 1: when you go to see a comic and you yell
Speaker 1: out a biddy did and you're you know you're telling
Speaker 1: Jerry liked the head dryer bit. Side fell due to
Speaker 1: head dryer bit. He's like, man, I haven't done that
Speaker 1: in like thirty years. You already know it, Like, why
Speaker 1: would I do it again? You know it? So that
Speaker 1: was that night and I felt so bad. I went
Speaker 1: up to one of the singers afterwards because you walk
Speaker 1: up and said high to them, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it? Like I goes,
Speaker 1: You get used to it after a while, you do,
Speaker 1: he goes, but he goes, Yeah, fucking annoying man. So
Speaker 1: the second concert was Friday night in uh in Red Bank,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. I want to see my favorite guitar player,
Speaker 1: Joe Satriani. Um and uh, if you don't know Joe
Speaker 1: Satriani is, you might who cold Play is. And uh,
Speaker 1: cold Play was involved in a law suit with Joe
Speaker 1: Satriani because, um, the song Viva LaVita where goes bamp
Speaker 1: bam bam bam bamp and there's this partner song it's
Speaker 1: not for there's bampa. Did they steal that off of
Speaker 1: Joe Satriani. I'm not gonna say they did, but the
Speaker 1: court said it. So there's a song called I think
Speaker 1: it's um Ready to Fly. I think his name is
Speaker 1: song something Can Fly in the Time Life Forever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's it's that's the part of the song. So
Speaker 1: he sued them and they denied it, and the judge,
Speaker 1: from what I understand, said, dude, you can't possibly have
Speaker 1: come up with that much of a song exactly the
Speaker 1: same notes, time, phrasing everything. It was like, it's like
Speaker 1: twenty seconds. It's not like he's like, I don't even
Speaker 1: know who this guy is, which isn't believable. If you
Speaker 1: play guitar, you know who he has. He's one of
Speaker 1: the greatest ever. So go to the show. It's great,
Speaker 1: and there's an intermission. It's a three hour show. Almost intermission.
Speaker 1: I get online for the men's room and I'm standing
Speaker 1: behind a guy and look, there's nothing wrong with this.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it happens sometimes. And a bald guy
Speaker 1: and he's got i want to say, a massive mole
Speaker 1: growth on the back of his head and he's bald,
Speaker 1: and it's got like bubbling around it, right, and so
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, I'm not gonna stare at it.
Speaker 1: Poor guy, I feel bad for the guy, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna stom, not gonna stare was gonna boil on
Speaker 1: his head? I don't know what it was. And and
Speaker 1: I God bless him. He goes out in public, he's confident.
Speaker 1: I respect that respect anyway, Uh, you really can't look
Speaker 1: anywhere else because you're online for the bathroom. You're staring
Speaker 1: right at the back of this guy's head, right if
Speaker 1: I look down and looking at his ass? All right,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, whatever. I go to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: and uh, there's a urinal etiquette problem when I go
Speaker 1: in and the guy who's peeing. Now there's a line
Speaker 1: waiting for the urinals. Now, when you go to a
Speaker 1: sporting event, real urinal guys know that you don't wait
Speaker 1: like twenty ft away at the door. You just go
Speaker 1: up behind one of the five guys and when he's ready,
Speaker 1: boom you there. If you wait, then you have to
Speaker 1: wait while everyone walks one at a time to the
Speaker 1: open spot. I understand that. So I'm ready. I'm like
Speaker 1: standing behind who's next? And I go right there and
Speaker 1: the line moves, and I'm encouraging people to do that,
Speaker 1: and its lines moving. The guy in front of me.
Speaker 1: He's one of these belt buckle, unbuckled, the belt, unbuckled,
Speaker 1: the zipp with the pants the button to take his

Speaker 1: between your ass and the guy's ass on the urinal
Speaker 1: if if you want to get to the stalls, which
Speaker 1: are further down in the bathroom. So this poorly design,
Speaker 1: So this fat guy comes through with a flannel shirt on,
Speaker 1: and he goes, uhuse and he pushes both of us
Speaker 1: at the same time, so my dick hits the sink
Speaker 1: the other guys the other guy goes gets his his

Speaker 1: excuse me works either. You say excuse me, I gently
Speaker 1: moved my pelvis in, and the urinal guy will gently
Speaker 1: move his pelvis in. You don't meet your way through
Speaker 1: the buns. That's not how it works. Oh my god. Sorry, Okay,
Speaker 1: one last thing after the show. I gotta go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom again, of course, right. I go to the
Speaker 1: bathroom and I'm getting again online and the guy in
Speaker 1: front of me, tall guy. Right. A woman comes up
Speaker 1: on the side of the line and says, hey, what
Speaker 1: didn't you say your name was again? And he says
Speaker 1: his name and she goes, oh that your parents couldn't
Speaker 1: come up with a better name. That's a pretty bad name. Awful,
Speaker 1: But anyway, she's flirting with him. She says, you know what,
Speaker 1: we should talk more. It was a pleasure meeting you tonight.
Speaker 1: Give me your Facebook again. There was an older crowd,
Speaker 1: so they so he steps off the line. Now I'm
Speaker 1: behind a guy with a growth on his head that
Speaker 1: looks just like the last guy in the same spot.
Speaker 1: So I go, how am I standing behind this guy
Speaker 1: again with the gross pussy growth bubbly thing. Guess what
Speaker 1: scary that wasn't the same guy? One second? Another one?
Speaker 1: Let's see it looked like a caterpillar. What kind of
Speaker 1: what kind of conscience was this that these are? These
Speaker 1: are the types of people, the dregs of humanity hanging out. Whoa,
Speaker 1: there is nothing wrong with the people who happen to
Speaker 1: have a growth on the back of their head. People
Speaker 1: know I'm talking about these bubble you know, the bumble
Speaker 1: stumble guy, that guy shoot people out of the way.
Speaker 1: I mean, rudeness, rude. Obviously we would find this at
Speaker 1: a Backstreet Boys concert. No, but I got one lass
Speaker 1: scamboni when we come back the next break. You have
Speaker 1: a scamboni. I have a scamboni, and I have a
Speaker 1: constant scamboni that you are going to love. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about the boil on this guy's head.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. I couldn't tell. It
Speaker 1: was like three inches long vertically. I know we have
Speaker 1: we don't even have a scamboni or was was that?
Speaker 1: That was a dinner but but that wasn't really a scamboni.
Speaker 1: It was just um, you know, they failed to leave
Speaker 1: out the truth. They failed to include the truth and
Speaker 1: why they wanted us there. But that was blatant misrepresentation
Speaker 1: slash scamboni. Yeah, I do have a scamboni. But do
Speaker 1: you want to play some voicemails that you Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well I think we should go through those. But but
Speaker 1: first I have a confession to make. Oh this is
Speaker 1: your confession. This is my confession, and I will get
Speaker 1: to the concerts. And what would you have done? Bernie
Speaker 1: David Burn gone for the free yesterday morning? And I,
Speaker 1: by the way, I didn't share this with anybody, but
Speaker 1: I'll share it with you in the slices. Four thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning yesterday five in the morning, I was
Speaker 1: leaving that apartment, walking down the hallway and I see
Speaker 1: a McDonald's bag sealed with a door dash attached to it,
Speaker 1: sitting outside my neighbor's apartment. Now I know my neighbor,
Speaker 1: this guy. I know, this guy is a health nut
Speaker 1: as as much as big as a health nut as
Speaker 1: they come. No shot, this guy eats McDonald's. I know
Speaker 1: that for a fact. So I'm like, but let alone,
Speaker 1: why would it be sitting there at five thirty in
Speaker 1: the more at five thirties, I'm leaving for work, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this doesn't make any sense. I'm like, I bet you,
Speaker 1: this is another case of somebody dropping it at the
Speaker 1: wrong apartment, except my neighbors not home or he's sleeping,
Speaker 1: and they just dropped it there. And the whoever this
Speaker 1: belongs to decided that they probably got their money back
Speaker 1: and they've forgotten it because it was just sitting here.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I suck it, and I go to work.
Speaker 1: Now it's ten thirty. I'm coming home, and I go
Speaker 1: back and I come out of the elevator and I'm
Speaker 1: walking down the hallway and the bag is still there,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, see, look at this. And and now
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm hungry, Okay, I haven't I don't have
Speaker 1: any food in my house. So I'm like, once again,
Speaker 1: this I gan fucking t you this this, this bag
Speaker 1: does not belong to my neighbor. I know my neighbor.
Speaker 1: I know the guy that lives behind that door. He
Speaker 1: would never eat McDonald's, right, So I said, fuck it.
Speaker 1: So I took the bag into my apartment. I ripped
Speaker 1: it open, day old. It wasn't day old, so that's old.
Speaker 1: I looked. I looked at the receipt and it was
Speaker 1: from three am. I thought, you're gonna say three or
Speaker 1: four days ago. It was a drunken like order. I
Speaker 1: guess a person never got their food. Whatever it was.
Speaker 1: It was at quarter four in the morning when when
Speaker 1: they processed the order, so it only been sitting when
Speaker 1: when I when I walked down in my apartment, it
Speaker 1: was smelling good. It was still warm, I guess. But
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that it didn't. And I
Speaker 1: didn't have his apartment on it had nothing on it.
Speaker 1: What if he was hang in some meat eater. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: my first all again, this guy does not eat McDonald's.
Speaker 1: I will reiterate it. It was definitely it was delivered
Speaker 1: to the wrong address period. Alright. Alright, so I said,
Speaker 1: I said, I brought it into my apartment. I opened
Speaker 1: it up. I'm like a dr pepper where the where
Speaker 1: it had gone flat, threw it away, French fries cold,
Speaker 1: fuck these out, goodbye. But then at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the bag two glorious biked apple pies. Oh no longer
Speaker 1: those last. I mean, you gotta be you gotta be Kennedy.
Speaker 1: You think I want to throw those away? Fuck? No, So,
Speaker 1: David Brownie, what did I do? I chowed down on
Speaker 1: one of the apple pies and the other one still
Speaker 1: in my refrigerator. Wow, I came off. I came away
Speaker 1: with stolen door dash of my own. Wow. I feel
Speaker 1: like I could leave a note in your elevator that says,
Speaker 1: if you're missing her McDonald's, go to Scary his apartment.
Speaker 1: But I just knew I was process of the Okay,
Speaker 1: what if it was a filet of fish sitting out there?
Speaker 1: Would you have eat it? No? Oh? There was also
Speaker 1: two double cheeseburgers in there. I threw them in the microwave,
Speaker 1: pickles on it. Yeah, but I I actually I actually
Speaker 1: put them in the microwave. Yeah. I did eat cheeseburgers
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah that was by trew away the fries
Speaker 1: in then soda. But but my then I looked at myself.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what kind of de genuine are you? Scary Jones?
Speaker 1: You want to scale at the time? Two apple pies
Speaker 1: and two double cheeseburgers. Yeah, you have five dirty in
Speaker 1: the morning, So all right, you only so So now
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, So I ate an order that was
Speaker 1: probably about six or seven seven hours old by the
Speaker 1: time I got to it. That wasn't too bad, right, No,
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to eat. I just uh wow.
Speaker 1: So if if it was anyone on your floor, they
Speaker 1: would have come out and looked around, yeah, and looked.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, in the morning it was already five
Speaker 1: thirty and just sitting in front of the door, and
Speaker 1: and then then we then I went to work, and
Speaker 1: then it was ten thirty in the morning when I
Speaker 1: came back when the bad were still there. Who who
Speaker 1: delivered the food? Do dash? And what did you do
Speaker 1: with your dash? From the door? The door? They really
Speaker 1: should just call themselves wrong door dash? But yeah, but
Speaker 1: you know what, that that's the second time they fucked up.
Speaker 1: They fucked whoever the poor person never got there McDonald's again,
Speaker 1: probably the other building the other been around. It was
Speaker 1: probably the other building where that belonged, and then they
Speaker 1: just abandoned they forgot the food. What if some fat
Speaker 1: guy ordered that food at two o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: and then when the food didn't show up, he looked
Speaker 1: at it as a sign from God to eat healthier,
Speaker 1: and now he's on the road to losing like a
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. You think about that, you could have changed
Speaker 1: a life. Scar Yeah, you're you're you're ruining yours. But
Speaker 1: I will say a couple of years ago, me and
Speaker 1: my buddy Danny, we were so my boy Danny, Danny
Speaker 1: uh oh, Danny connection, Danny connections. We were down at
Speaker 1: the Jersey shore and we were fucking hammered, and we
Speaker 1: ordered we ordered delivery like Uber eats or whatever, and
Speaker 1: we passed the funk out. We forgot we ordered it.
Speaker 1: We woke up at nine o'clock in the morning, we
Speaker 1: opened the door and it was sitting there. We're like,
Speaker 1: holy sh it, we fucking fell asleep. So we had something.
Speaker 1: Dick didn't come by and just eat it at five
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. No, we actually reclaimed our own food.
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, all right, I'll give you that. I'll
Speaker 1: give you that. Because he hard to pass up an
Speaker 1: apple pie really is McDonald's and the two of them
Speaker 1: to score. Yeah, score. All right, you got to scam
Speaker 1: moneying already for me? Uh huh oh yeah. Okay, So
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna tell you isn't actually stealing, So let
Speaker 1: me preface it. Okay, Ticketmaster charging a fifteen I was
Speaker 1: to buy the ticket, that's stealing. What about stealing? Taking
Speaker 1: someone's door dash that is stealing? Not when it went
Speaker 1: to the wrong door and they didn't know. So this
Speaker 1: concert I wanted to go to on Monday night, the
Speaker 1: I forgot about it. I put it on my phone
Speaker 1: and and like you know, like you have the reminder
Speaker 1: tells you to buy the tickets for the concert. Buy
Speaker 1: the tickets for the concert. So for like a month
Speaker 1: and a half it's been telling me to buy the
Speaker 1: tickets for the concert. But because I had tickets to
Speaker 1: a concert on Saturday, I forgot to buy tickets for
Speaker 1: the concert on Monday. Well, luckily it wasn't sold out. Okay.
Speaker 1: It was in a theater, the Red Bank count Basie
Speaker 1: Theater that seats about four thousand. I guess maybe out
Speaker 1: of the Bank, New Jersey. Very nice. Also, nothing open
Speaker 1: after the show I did open now on Google Maps,
Speaker 1: what's open? Basically nothing? Just the app wa wa was open,
Speaker 1: and that's where I went. So because I was starving,
Speaker 1: I wanted something to eat. So when I was buying
Speaker 1: my tickets, when you buy them the night before the concert,
Speaker 1: pretty much whatever is left is gonna be what's left.
Speaker 1: Like how many people are buying last minute tickets to
Speaker 1: a non Harry Styles event, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Not many? By the way, my daughter called me from
Speaker 1: college and she says, you gotta come get me in college,
Speaker 1: gotta come get me right now. My daughter worships Harry Styles,
Speaker 1: worships him. I said, honey, you're you're like four hours away,
Speaker 1: like it's eight hours around trip. What what what's the matter?
Speaker 1: She said, Harry Styles was spotted in Chatham, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Apparently he's walking around Chatham, New Jersey. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: but eight hours from now he won't be. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I have to come to he's in New Jersey. I
Speaker 1: have to come home. I said, have a good night, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: I'm not coming to get you. She's so obsessed she
Speaker 1: was gonna come home. Harry Styles is walking around Chatham,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. The lovely town are very affluent people. Aldo
Speaker 1: one of the great Italian restaurants. Scary, the walkings, agat
Speaker 1: the walking, the walking map of food. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: what I don't. I've never been there. I have to
Speaker 1: add it to my list. You gave me like seven
Speaker 1: Italian restaurants, and also um Scalini Fideli, the original one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to write these down legitimately, put them
Speaker 1: in an email to me and or text them legitimately,
Speaker 1: because I can't keep Elmando. What was it, little Almando Vecchio? No?
Speaker 1: What was the lasagna place? You told me how to
Speaker 1: go to Dino's? Oh the Lasagna? Oh no, that's um
Speaker 1: don angie done? Okay. So I go to get my
Speaker 1: tickets and Ticketmaster has a map of the arena and
Speaker 1: you can it has under the map a list of
Speaker 1: all the tickets available, so it'll say like and it
Speaker 1: goes from um cheapest seats to most expensive, which is
Speaker 1: a smart way to do it. So it's like upper
Speaker 1: balcony back and it shows you where it is. As
Speaker 1: you scroll the little little wheel, you scroll the little dot,
Speaker 1: the little pin moves and shows you what the seat is.
Speaker 1: Of course, so it's like up a balcony rowe P
Speaker 1: up a balcony rowe Q, and it's alphabetical order. So
Speaker 1: I want to sit in the orchestra. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: buy crazy seats at the front, but I want to
Speaker 1: sit somewhere on the floor. And so earned it, earned it.
Speaker 1: I've seen the man forty times, so i'd like to
Speaker 1: you know, he's my favorite. I'm gonna go and get
Speaker 1: some good seats. And I apologize I wait until last minute,
Speaker 1: but because I'm going alone to this show, um, it's
Speaker 1: easier to get a one ticket, like a seat ticket.
Speaker 1: So I see up front the tickets are nine for
Speaker 1: the first five rows, and then from like row six,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say row eight to row twenty, they're all
Speaker 1: seventy nine dollars. Yeah, okay, and then but be behind
Speaker 1: that is sixty whatever. Uh And I think there was
Speaker 1: some uh yeah. So what I did was I got
Speaker 1: the ticket I would put up with. But I made
Speaker 1: a note of the tickets that we're still available in
Speaker 1: the higher price range, because it shows you what hasn't
Speaker 1: been sold. Now, once the concert starts, that map goes away.
Speaker 1: So right before the concert, I pulled up the map,
Speaker 1: I saw what seats were not sold up until ten
Speaker 1: minutes before showtime, and so I sat in my seat,
Speaker 1: and an intermission I confirmed that those seats were available,
Speaker 1: and I moved my sweet ass up right to the
Speaker 1: middle front uh and sat in the empty seats that
Speaker 1: I knew were empty because ticketmaster told me they were empty. Booyah,
Speaker 1: good for you, Good for you that is you know
Speaker 1: that's beating the system. That is beating the system. That's
Speaker 1: not a Scamboni fore you this person. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's okay because no one was buying anyway, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't like I was gonna buy them, but I was like, oh, Scamboni,
Speaker 1: the lower price. And because I was willing to sit
Speaker 1: where I bought my seats, but I knew those seats
Speaker 1: were available. So I satted over and up and his
Speaker 1: center and sat with no one in front of me
Speaker 1: in the row ahead of me because I knew that
Speaker 1: was empty also, and I sat, I don't know, eight
Speaker 1: rows away from the man himself, and I got over it.
Speaker 1: It was great. Boy. So in a theater setting like
Speaker 1: you go to Master Square Garden, like a major arena,
Speaker 1: they have security at every at every section they didn't
Speaker 1: have that here. No, because it's a theater. It's like
Speaker 1: a movie theater. We go to see a Batway show.
Speaker 1: Once you're on the floor, they don't care anymore. So
Speaker 1: you can buy a seat all in the back. Make
Speaker 1: a note, oh roe l on the side up front
Speaker 1: is empty. Ye, you just wait it out and just
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. Come back. Boom, there you go,
Speaker 1: six bam. I love my Scamboni scamboni them. It's my
Speaker 1: tip bony podcast back. We've been neglecting our little prods

Speaker 1: have to agree with him. Something fishy? Why not go
Speaker 1: to Craigslist? Why not go to linked In any other
Speaker 1: site but a dating site to get work? No, I'm
Speaker 1: not buying it. Basically, that was the little nugget I
Speaker 1: dropped this from last week. I dropped that at the
Speaker 1: end of the podcast where I said that one of
Speaker 1: our friends was decided to go on bumble biz section
Speaker 1: of Bumble to advertise their job. But why would you
Speaker 1: go on bubble biz? Uh, there's so many other sites
Speaker 1: to go to Andy in the background. I don't understand that. Um,
Speaker 1: we were going to follow up on that story this week.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some information. However, the day after we
Speaker 1: posted our podcast, somebody tweeted at me and said, dude,
Speaker 1: I know who it is. They talked about it on
Speaker 1: their podcast. Oh so that you were being top secret
Speaker 1: about William and Sam. That's right from the Bad Wedding podcast.
Speaker 1: They they went and talked about it. So then they
Speaker 1: so they're on board with him. They scooped your scoop
Speaker 1: of the scoop of them. Wait, scooped. They talked about
Speaker 1: it on their podcast prior to you teasing it, acting
Speaker 1: like it was top secret. They had already talked about it.
Speaker 1: Oh well, fuck me, running, I had no idea. So
Speaker 1: then it's out there then so then so then then
Speaker 1: then tell us what the story was. It's above board.
Speaker 1: Then he was advertising his you know, his his workout
Speaker 1: sessions and he's a personal trainer, personal trainer. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that makes sense. People go on bumble they want to
Speaker 1: look good to single. That makes total sense that they
Speaker 1: were going bumble biz. I get that. Okay, so there's
Speaker 1: no there's nothing to see here. Then no, if he

Speaker 1: love the fact that he is from a part of
Speaker 1: the country where that accent is the accent, and yet
Speaker 1: he still loves two idiots from Brooklyn. That and so
Speaker 1: in capsualizes us. I appreciate that what we're about, because
Speaker 1: that man may or may not have ever met a
Speaker 1: man from Brooklyn. Yeah, and I but you know what,
Speaker 1: I want to meet that man, so do I. That
Speaker 1: was a one thank thank you very much for that
Speaker 1: message to take our show on the road. And I
Speaker 1: don't know who's saying bad shit about us you obviously
Speaker 1: you must have mentioned something I don't even remember now
Speaker 1: because I try to block it. But f those people,
Speaker 1: Eric codeine O eight a little more local here in
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Check this one out here if they still
Speaker 1: live in New Jersey. Scary Brodie, Brodie, scary um be
Speaker 1: calling from Long Island. Just listen to your last episode, Scary.
Speaker 1: I was dying trying to figure out what you meant
Speaker 1: when we said to put a raver to your face
Speaker 1: or to your eye. It's a gaate roller. I have
Speaker 1: a whole face over routine. I do a poor vacuum
Speaker 1: on my face, then I do a poor strip, then
Speaker 1: I do a face mask, then I do a facial
Speaker 1: theme with some lavender essential oil, and then I do
Speaker 1: the gate rowler. And let me tell you, Brodie, my
Speaker 1: skin has never been clearer. I look with breasts, I
Speaker 1: don't have beds under my eyes. There's no puffiness. And
Speaker 1: when they say like release toxins, they mean like kind
Speaker 1: of flush out the limp nodes and kind of make
Speaker 1: yourself look a little bit um plumber in your face.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make you look younger, and it just makes
Speaker 1: you absolutely amazing. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with men
Speaker 1: having a facial routine. Also, Brody, Target has done that
Speaker 1: to me so many thing times and it drives me.
Speaker 1: And did reset it? I placed the order online and
Speaker 1: then they email me, oh, sorry, we don't have it,
Speaker 1: and then I get mad, and then I go to
Speaker 1: the store and it's right there. So Target needs to
Speaker 1: set their dam up. Anyway, I love you guys, all right,
Speaker 1: see that. You see that I told her to reset
Speaker 1: it and she did as if she was live. That
Speaker 1: was great. Now I will say, she was talking about
Speaker 1: the jade roller. There was the episode that you were
Speaker 1: making fun of me because I said, I saw this
Speaker 1: routine on TikTok people routine, well people, hey, you hey,
Speaker 1: people would like, you know, like glide this roller across
Speaker 1: the face and it releases toxins. Exactly what she said.
Speaker 1: She Uh, she's drinking the kool aid too. But hold
Speaker 1: on a second. Did she say that it makes your
Speaker 1: face look younger or plumper, plumper? Yeah, because you and
Speaker 1: I neither one of us needs are faces to look
Speaker 1: getting plumper any more. Plump. Yeah, so that so maybe
Speaker 1: that's what happened. You used you plump too much? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's great. All right, one final thought and we gotta
Speaker 1: get out of here. What what's what's going on? Okay?
Speaker 1: So you know, as a comic con a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I told you I signed card versions
Speaker 1: of the stickers that I was we was selling through
Speaker 1: the tops website. I designed four new wacky packages spoof
Speaker 1: cards that were available on the tops website. They're no
Speaker 1: longer available. So one week ron I made it very
Speaker 1: clear to everybody. Uh, and I hope you guys bought him.
Speaker 1: If if you wanted them. But I signed for free
Speaker 1: cards at comic Con that were like board versions in
Speaker 1: a little plastic case. Uh. And so there were two
Speaker 1: girls working with me. One girl would take the cards
Speaker 1: out of the plastic case. I would sign them like
Speaker 1: a conveyor belt and pass it along. Another girl would
Speaker 1: put it back in the case. And then I would
Speaker 1: stack them up on the counter, and as people would
Speaker 1: come up and say hi, I would give them a
Speaker 1: U Count chocula, a couch chocola fat guy on a
Speaker 1: couch count Chocola but fat, and I would sign my
Speaker 1: name on it and put it back in, you know,
Speaker 1: and give it to and give it to the people
Speaker 1: coming up a comic con. Well shout out to Chris Michio,
Speaker 1: a regular tweeter. He wrote, I am a pizza Emoji
Speaker 1: for Life Slice for Life. Unfortunately I missed the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys Meet and greet and the New York City Comic Con,
Speaker 1: so I have yet to meet either David Brodio Scary Jones.
Speaker 1: If I remember Chris lives in Ohio. I think from
Speaker 1: member correctly, um, so please don't don't be up said
Speaker 1: if I got it wrong. If you're from yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're from Iowa, and I got you mid Midwest
Speaker 1: state wrong. I apologize. I don't usually confuse states. Okay,
Speaker 1: so um, I've yet to me David Brodie Scary Jones.
Speaker 1: But I just searched for David Brodie on eBay, that's odd,
Speaker 1: and found a few of his signed cards. I definitely
Speaker 1: paid for one. So people are taking the cards that
Speaker 1: I gave out for free and selling them moneybay. So
Speaker 1: I looked online. I did a search for David Brodie
Speaker 1: on eBay, and I found that people are asking over
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars for my autographed count I'm sorry, couch chocola,
Speaker 1: wacky Packages card. This five sold that all sold for
Speaker 1: fifty or more dollars. Uh, And so people are making
Speaker 1: a profit off my free signature and card. Should I
Speaker 1: see that as a tribute to you, David? A tribute?
Speaker 1: My wife said it was awesome. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I said to Chris, I'm sorry you
Speaker 1: bought one. I would have given you one because I
Speaker 1: have like a couple in my house, one or two
Speaker 1: that I took when I was like, Brodie doesn't want
Speaker 1: people making money off of his bone, So just go comment.
Speaker 1: Just go on tweet David Brody and maybe he'll give
Speaker 1: you one. Well, here's the thing. I don't want people
Speaker 1: making money off my bones. But it is a compliment
Speaker 1: to me that somebody wants to sell. Well, it's a
Speaker 1: compliment that somebody wants to buy them. I'm a little
Speaker 1: annoyed that someone who got them for free wants to
Speaker 1: sell them, but I get it. It's it's capitalism. I
Speaker 1: have no problem with that capitalist. After I wrote to Chris,
Speaker 1: I would have given you one. Kenny row Ark, another
Speaker 1: great guy on Twitter who's an auto mechanic, or at
Speaker 1: least someone who's offered to fix my car anytime I
Speaker 1: need it fixed, said may I have a card? Please? Well,
Speaker 1: the man's offered to fix my car. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I honestly, if I haven't it yet. They promised
Speaker 1: they were gonna send me a small box of them.
Speaker 1: So if I get some, I'll let you guys know.
Speaker 1: And then, of course shady Juw Mobster said, I'll raise
Speaker 1: my hand for one if it's free, it's for me.
Speaker 1: Second time I said that today. So, uh, everybody's not
Speaker 1: asking me for it. So before this gets out of hand,
Speaker 1: I currently really don't have them yet. But here's my question,
Speaker 1: Scary Jones, I have a question. I'm gonna if I
Speaker 1: get any I will give I give some out. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll do like, uh, some some giveaways on the podcast. Okay,
Speaker 1: if I get enough of them. But is it wrong?
Speaker 1: Because I already asked tops they said it's not wrong.
Speaker 1: Is it wrong if I put them up on eBay
Speaker 1: and I make money off of them since I'm since
Speaker 1: I'm currently between occupations, because that's good old fashioned capitalism
Speaker 1: if you ask me. So, here's what I thought. I
Speaker 1: would fucking load ball these people because I'll have a
Speaker 1: box of them. Yeah, I'm not selling one hoping for
Speaker 1: the best. I can put them up for ten No, no,
Speaker 1: if they're selling them for like fifty sixty seventy, I'll
Speaker 1: load ball them at thirty five and make a killing.
Speaker 1: I like that idea, So that's not wrong. If I
Speaker 1: do that, well, you're a shyster, but I love it. Oh,
Speaker 1: is it that time to say goodbye? A? Ready? All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my change my shoes, put my slippers on.
Speaker 1: I'm a pipe, smoke and jacket. Get ready for that
Speaker 1: sounds good? I'm gonna sleep soundly tonight. Where in Brooklyn, boys,
Speaker 1: boys all in be
