Speaker 1: Start up, dot up, start up, Brooklyn Boys, start up,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys start uf dot uf data, they make it
Speaker 1: news data start up. Episode two fifty three of the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys podcast. Yeah, that's a lot of episodes. It's
Speaker 1: a lot we've been through. The Ringer. We've been through
Speaker 1: it all together, David Brodie, you know we have. I
Speaker 1: will list all the things we've been through at some point.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of dms this weekend. If I
Speaker 1: can find them, I'll shut him out of final shout
Speaker 1: him out next week. Yeah, that said. Oh, we just
Speaker 1: started the podcast a couple of months ago. We're up
Speaker 1: to one seventy seven. We're up to one forty so
Speaker 1: we've gotten some new listeners who are thankfully listening in
Speaker 1: order like that post do. I like that very much.
Speaker 1: The only problem with that, and they're not gonna hit
Speaker 1: this for a while is I think I mentioned this
Speaker 1: last week, but they're still doing it where they go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you were definitely right. What Yeah, because
Speaker 1: they're not specific about it. Now you gotta go back
Speaker 1: to episode forty seven and called through it to figure
Speaker 1: out what you were right about. Well, they say the
Speaker 1: episode which is which is fine. I'll go, oh, episode
Speaker 1: fifty three, you're probably done the same thing. Okay, that
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it's an eighty minute episode. Could have
Speaker 1: said a lot of things during that time, and that
Speaker 1: was like four years ago. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, we
Speaker 1: don't remember. Honestly, we've said this before. We don't remember
Speaker 1: what happened this episode. As soon as we like Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: It's great syst to me. What do we talk about though?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I know we always forget because
Speaker 1: we are in the moment. So um, I'm excited. I'm
Speaker 1: going to Lisbon and Paris. I'm getting out of the country.
Speaker 1: I'm doing exactly what I promised that we'd do for
Speaker 1: my New Year's resolution. Oh that sounds nice if you remember,
Speaker 1: it was go to other places than the four five
Speaker 1: places I always vacation in the slices even know where
Speaker 1: I always vacation. And now that you know Bahamas, Vegas, Miami,
Speaker 1: you know this is a new one for you, Husu. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: this is We're going overseas and I can't wait. Robin's
Speaker 1: coming with me. Two of us are on a journey.
Speaker 1: We're going to eat our way through Lisbon and Paris.
Speaker 1: I hear two very big eating cities. I have to
Speaker 1: find fault with you, because that's what we do here.
Speaker 1: I feel like you humble questioned, what does that mean? Well,
Speaker 1: it means you put up a poll on social media
Speaker 1: asking people where you should eat in France and Lisbon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is such a fucking boogie thing to put up
Speaker 1: on social media. Like if someone's like, hey, I'm coming
Speaker 1: to Manhattan, you know where should I eat? You go, Okay,
Speaker 1: well it's Manhattan. You want it, You want your people's opinion. Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Los Angeles? Where should I go for
Speaker 1: good Chinese food? But you're like, oh, oh, slices at
Speaker 1: people who follow me, I'm going to France and Lisbon,
Speaker 1: seys wondering you can tell me nobody who's follows you
Speaker 1: on social media? At what do you have, like a
Speaker 1: fifty thousand followers whatever? What maybe two have been to Lisbon?
Speaker 1: I mean that's come on, You're not really tell people
Speaker 1: you're going to France and Liz poken holes in this
Speaker 1: right away. First of all, the whole point of me
Speaker 1: putting that out there is that maybe in one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty seven thousand people, sorry Loki flex, that I
Speaker 1: will find a couple of people who can give me
Speaker 1: some tips on places to go and unlike a Google
Speaker 1: or Yelp. Yeah, but I want to hear real reviews
Speaker 1: from real people. I don't necessarily need to get a
Speaker 1: slanted review from trip Advisor because somebody had an ax
Speaker 1: to grind with the place David Brodie. Okay, so no
Speaker 1: one has an ax to grind on on Twitter or no.
Speaker 1: I feel like the people who who know you and
Speaker 1: follow you are more are closer to you, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna give you an honest assessment. I don't need to
Speaker 1: see a Yelp review because they that your soup came
Speaker 1: out cold and you trashed it with one star. I
Speaker 1: don't need those people in my life. I want to
Speaker 1: know from real people, you know. So Yeah, the whole
Speaker 1: point was I don't have the answers. Oh, so many
Speaker 1: people got back to about places to eat in Lisbon
Speaker 1: about six about six yeah, about fourteen for Paris also France.
Speaker 1: Oh but you said France and Lisbon. You didn't say Paris.
Speaker 1: Frances is a big country. Like I think I wrote Paris,
Speaker 1: didn't I I thought you wrote France and whatever. The
Speaker 1: case point, what people called you out is a boogie bastard. Well,
Speaker 1: they could call me out all they want. The thing is,
Speaker 1: isn't that sometimes what social media is for to go
Speaker 1: and find out answers from people. People put up poles
Speaker 1: all the time, or they put up suggestions or things.
Speaker 1: The last time you went to let's say, uh, Minnesota
Speaker 1: and put up a pole where should I eat? Minnesota?
Speaker 1: I would do that. Yeah. Yeah, because you travel all
Speaker 1: the time, I don't know you putting up a pole
Speaker 1: on where to eat? This is some boomer energy right here.
Speaker 1: This is exactly the look. Girls do this all all
Speaker 1: the time. What altfhit? Should I wear? Guys? And then
Speaker 1: you can listen. Please, those are twelve year olds on TikTok.
Speaker 1: That's not true. That's not true. Are on the heart
Speaker 1: radio app. There's a little microphone there while you're listening,
Speaker 1: you can leave it talk back, all right, would you
Speaker 1: please leave it? Talk back? Do me a favor the
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, wait let me Okay. You know
Speaker 1: we're not doing an episode next week. We're not gonna yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be here. So whatever today is, what's
Speaker 1: today to whatever? Well, you know, we may actually release
Speaker 1: this next week. I have a strategy behind that, but
Speaker 1: your strategy. Okay, so we may say it is whatever
Speaker 1: it is. The big show Elista Rancho is off week
Speaker 1: of April seventeenth. We may just slide that this podcast
Speaker 1: maybe Monday, I don't know, whatever Monday or something. You know,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I don't time around the twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: leave it, talk back and give your opinion on what
Speaker 1: when you're hearing leaving, leave it, talkback when you hear it,
Speaker 1: and then we'll collect it when we get back. It's
Speaker 1: like an answering the sine message old school. Come on,
Speaker 1: it's like a voice. You know what. I'm just I know,
Speaker 1: but sometimes they get a race when you can it matter. Okay,
Speaker 1: point is you're you're actually summoning these people right now,
Speaker 1: and where am I going? The think is it's not.
Speaker 1: My point is it's not wrong to put up a
Speaker 1: poll or to to put up some kind of a
Speaker 1: question to engage with your followers to who you I
Speaker 1: legitimately want assistance with. This is no different anyone going
Speaker 1: all the slices that called Scary out on social media.
Speaker 1: I guess you were wrong calling Scary Boogie he's going
Speaker 1: to Paris and Lisbon. Well that those are just haters.
Speaker 1: Then at that point, I mean you're the one who's
Speaker 1: slanting it. I mean it's in your own head that
Speaker 1: that's where it came from a bad place. No, I
Speaker 1: just think it comes from your normal point. I see
Speaker 1: people do it all the time, where people want suggestions
Speaker 1: on things and then put it up there, and sometimes
Speaker 1: they're they're the most materialistic things that you could you
Speaker 1: could talk about in life. But isn't that what social
Speaker 1: media really is at the end of the day for
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So I think you're overreacting. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I would like some real feedback. I don't know where
Speaker 1: I want to go. I've never been to these places before.
Speaker 1: You should be thanking me for stepping out of the boxet,
Speaker 1: But you know what's scary. I admire you for stepping
Speaker 1: out of your comfort zone and trying to plan a
Speaker 1: vacation to somewhere other than Miami. No offense to Miami.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go there too. But now, oh yeah, right,
Speaker 1: So I have to give you props, Yes, I'd like
Speaker 1: I have to. I have to say, scary, great job
Speaker 1: going to France and Lisbon instead of going to a room.
Speaker 1: I want to be cultured the Bahamas. You're talking about
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn boy. Two Brooklyn boys. I want to go ahead.
Speaker 1: I want to learn stepping out of my box. Okay,
Speaker 1: stepping out of my box, and I would give you
Speaker 1: a compliment, all right, Okay in September waiting, there's a
Speaker 1: good chance we're planning a trip. My wife and I
Speaker 1: are planning it. Okay, we may go to Vegas, okay,
Speaker 1: which is out of which is out of our comfort
Speaker 1: zone for where we would normally go. And so she
Speaker 1: says to me, she emailed me this morning. She said, oh,
Speaker 1: these are the flights, and this is what's going to cost.
Speaker 1: She said, I want to stay in a scary style hotel. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's what she said. Okay, so get scary recommendation for
Speaker 1: a scary style hotel. Three hotels right up front that
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about, he said. She's also gonna do her
Speaker 1: research on TikTok, but she's going to compare the TikTok
Speaker 1: reservations and recommendations rather to you, and we will come
Speaker 1: to a conclusion. So we will not be staying at
Speaker 1: the motel six when we go to Vegas. Not this
Speaker 1: thing wrong with that, but she wants to stay somewhere
Speaker 1: nice because we don't often go away for a weekend. Like, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: if I could add to what I was about to
Speaker 1: tell what we were talking about just now. Actually, this trip, okay,
Speaker 1: is actually not even fully being fully funded by me.
Speaker 1: It's not like I have like mister I'm not mister
Speaker 1: moneybags here. This this trip is. This is a gift.
Speaker 1: I was. I was from the radio, from iHeartMedia. I
Speaker 1: was awarded a twenty five year For twenty five years
Speaker 1: at iHeartMedia, we were given trips, we were given places
Speaker 1: to go. So I was given a trip to anywhere
Speaker 1: in the world. Basically I wanted to go and uh
Speaker 1: so this is my twenty This is a prize. I
Speaker 1: want a prize. So that's what this is. So don't
Speaker 1: even think about where ka from Oscarier, bougie bastard, asshole.
Speaker 1: Hey guess what. I fucking sweat and sweated and toiled
Speaker 1: for twenty five years and I made it to a
Speaker 1: milestone to this company and they wanted to recognize that
Speaker 1: by setting me somewhere. So anyone, did you upgrade? Did
Speaker 1: you upgrade the hotel? I did, because now I'm I'm
Speaker 1: playing with house money. Absolutely, yeah, so I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I might as well go from a fourth star to
Speaker 1: a five star hotel because that'll be the money that's
Speaker 1: coming out of my pocket. So there you go. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I upgraded on ship. Yes I did. Okay, So let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. When I go to Vegas.
Speaker 1: You know my favorite restaurant, right, you know, my favorite
Speaker 1: time I do it was Carmines. And I did go
Speaker 1: to Carmines Saturday night, which I'll talk about later. But
Speaker 1: there's a Carmines in Atlantic City, right, it's its Caesar's. Yes,
Speaker 1: I have to figure out. So my wife and I
Speaker 1: went to Carmines on Saturday, got the big clams and
Speaker 1: the palm. How do I I want to take her to, like, um,
Speaker 1: a couple of nice, really nice restaurants. Yeah right, And
Speaker 1: I want to take her to some kind of residency concert,
Speaker 1: you know, really really blow the doors off on this.
Speaker 1: They are you know, for us. But I want to
Speaker 1: slip in a Carmines visit. Now, Carmines is very nice.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not very nice, but she's gonna
Speaker 1: want to go somewhere she hasn't been before. I think
Speaker 1: it's totally okay to go to Carmines in another location
Speaker 1: because it's totally different than right. Yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I love Carmines too, but I think, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been to the one of the Bahamas. I think the
Speaker 1: one in Washington, d C. I think though, if you
Speaker 1: really wanted to, you know, take it to the next level,
Speaker 1: go somewhere she hasn't been. And yeah, and I have
Speaker 1: some suggestions for Italian restaurants too. I'm very good. So
Speaker 1: what you're saying is I should go to comments for lunch,
Speaker 1: got it? Okay? Yeah? People that it's not very good,
Speaker 1: you're funny. Um, yeah, you you told me you had
Speaker 1: something very upsetting to talk to me about. That the
Speaker 1: reason why you will late to the podcast today. What's
Speaker 1: going on? Um, I'll tell you next with Brodie and Scary.
Speaker 1: If I could just get Gandhi on the phone like
Speaker 1: to do this because this is this just bothers the
Speaker 1: hell out of me. What I drive them home every
Speaker 1: every day. That's very nice of you. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: scary caravan as you know. M Well, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people who live in the area. I'm surprisedly you're
Speaker 1: not driving like four or five people. Forget it. I
Speaker 1: drive home. It's close to boy Josh sometimes to work.
Speaker 1: And Andrew Andrew got Gandhi here, Hi, Gandhi. Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1: What's going on? What's going on with you? I hear Brodie,
Speaker 1: what's up? Rody? What's up? Gande? You're on the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys podcast? And I have no idea. I'my not a
Speaker 1: good guy for taking people home every day and having
Speaker 1: the scary Yeah, absolutely, okay, yeah, for sure. You guys
Speaker 1: are guests in my car, right yeah, oh humble bregg
Speaker 1: I got a brand new BMW. Yeah. So here we
Speaker 1: are the first time with the top down because it's
Speaker 1: like gonna be ninety degrees today and it was north
Speaker 1: of seventy five already, and we're like, let's take the
Speaker 1: top down. So we're driving. We get the Jersey City.
Speaker 1: I park at a gas station to get some gas.
Speaker 1: Now there's a gas being put into my car and
Speaker 1: we're exposed, right because the top is down. I have
Speaker 1: a question. Yeah, so i'd interrupt. Did you go through
Speaker 1: the tunnel with the top down? That's a whole thank you, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's all. That's whole argument that you could die from
Speaker 1: the fumes up, that you never go with the top
Speaker 1: an old wives tail. No, it's not dead. He literally said.
Speaker 1: So we were like, are we gonna go through the
Speaker 1: tunnel with the top down because we roll the windows up?
Speaker 1: Are we still we want to have the top down?
Speaker 1: Scars like it's happening. It's going down, it's happening. You
Speaker 1: know what worst case scenario, it's a bit for the
Speaker 1: air tomorrow. And Sama I looked at each other like,
Speaker 1: this man is gonna try to kill us for a
Speaker 1: bit for the air tomorrow. Well, it's not an absurd
Speaker 1: it's not a bit. It's more Emphasema gets the phone's going.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. I'm just saying I'm not the
Speaker 1: only one who does this. It feels this way. I
Speaker 1: think that the whole rolling up the windows in the
Speaker 1: tunnel is a bit of a old wives tale. I
Speaker 1: don't think the air is any less or more clean.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know why the wives are all
Speaker 1: scary because they roll their windows up. They didn't die
Speaker 1: from emphysema. The vents suck out the dirty air in
Speaker 1: the tune. Top down. Dude, if we'd all be died
Speaker 1: dead from carbon monoxide if tunnels didn't work and remove
Speaker 1: filthy air. Oh, I wouldn't be dead because my windows
Speaker 1: are up. You guys are crazy. But anyway, that's a
Speaker 1: whole other w that's not why this is backfire. As
Speaker 1: he told the story, I'm like, wait a minute. He
Speaker 1: didn't say down, Oh my god, that went through the
Speaker 1: whole tunnel. Sam and I are like hacking and gagging.
Speaker 1: We get out the other side. He said, how do
Speaker 1: you feel? I said, well, my lums feel a little blacker,
Speaker 1: but I mean cool. Whatever, what are we going to say.
Speaker 1: He's the one driving, it's his car. If he wants
Speaker 1: to kill us, I guess that's on, you know us.
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have got in. There are times I've been
Speaker 1: in Scary's convertible. He'll pull up next to somebody smoking.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can you pull away? He's like, no, it's fine,
Speaker 1: it's great wives tale. We live in the city of toxins.
Speaker 1: This is this toxins all around us at all times.
Speaker 1: It's inevitable. You're saying there's a higher concentration in the tunnel, Yes,
Speaker 1: for sure, it's a tube. Scary, what do you think? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this defense every two feet and that's sucking the
Speaker 1: air out. Oh so it's it's gonna be okay. You
Speaker 1: people smoked on a plane, fact like they used to.
Speaker 1: Because this fence, that's not why we're here today. Oh scary.
Speaker 1: Why don't you park your BMW in the middle seven
Speaker 1: twenty seven, seven thirty seven and let the fumes from
Speaker 1: the car. The vents will take it out. It's fine,
Speaker 1: long flight, lad, let me fast forward. Let's fast forward
Speaker 1: to the gas station. Okay, where they're filling my tank up.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad Gandhi's here. We are going some random
Speaker 1: may some random maniac guy approaches the vehicle with some
Speaker 1: literature for all of us. Gandhi, I'll let you take
Speaker 1: it from here. Okay. So we're sitting there, this man
Speaker 1: comes up. He's got pamphlets. He you know, they're about
Speaker 1: our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He hands all three
Speaker 1: of us a pamphlet. We take it, fine, no problem,
Speaker 1: no beef. Then he looks at Sam and I and
Speaker 1: he's like, just so you know, if you're not bathed
Speaker 1: in the blood of Christ, you're gonna burn in hell.
Speaker 1: So Sam hands this pampled back to him and she's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm a Jew, so that's already gonna happen. I handled
Speaker 1: back to him. I say, yeah, I'm Hindu, so you know.
Speaker 1: And he says, it's not too late. You guys are
Speaker 1: gonna burn in hell. It's not too late. So both
Speaker 1: of us are kind of like, get the fuck out
Speaker 1: of here, like yeah, but they were rude to him.
Speaker 1: They were like mouthing ude. Oh no, no, we were
Speaker 1: not rude. We were not mouthing off. I'm gladly glad
Speaker 1: grab the pamphlet. I said, I'm a Catholic. I'll take
Speaker 1: the pamphlet. Thank you so much, sir. Almost like nobody, brody,
Speaker 1: nobody was mouthing off to him at all. This man
Speaker 1: looked at us and he goes, I used to burn people,
Speaker 1: so trust me on this one. You guys are gonna
Speaker 1: burn in hell. But that was only after he was
Speaker 1: provoked because Sam was was talking some Sam was talking shit.
Speaker 1: Nobody was talking shit. She handed the pamphlet back and said,
Speaker 1: I'm Jewish, so I'm all set. He said, you're gonna
Speaker 1: burn in hell. She said, I don't have a hell.
Speaker 1: I think I'm okay. I was like, we're all good.
Speaker 1: That's her being a smart ass. That's her being a
Speaker 1: smart ass. Not being a smart ass. Scary. This man
Speaker 1: is approaching two people and telling us we're going to
Speaker 1: burn in hell for being terrible human beings. Like, give
Speaker 1: me a break. Then he tells us he's birched people
Speaker 1: in his life. Go away from the car, sir, Just
Speaker 1: go away. But here's the thing that is not your
Speaker 1: battle to fight. It's my car. I'm sitting there and
Speaker 1: I'm you know, he wasn't fighting your car. I'm brave
Speaker 1: on the outside and I'm shitting on the inside at
Speaker 1: this point. By the way, so scary. You don't have
Speaker 1: crazy pyro insurance in case the guy set the car
Speaker 1: on fire and I've covered it. The thing is, I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm here to be a pacifier. Why don't you take
Speaker 1: some wants about to suck on you. Why don't you
Speaker 1: take some lessons from your great great grandfather Mahatma Gandhi.
Speaker 1: Didn't he believe in My great great grandfather would not
Speaker 1: have listened to that bullshit. He was a revolutionary. He
Speaker 1: stood up for what he believed in. There was no violence,
Speaker 1: there was no fighting. And by the way, this man
Speaker 1: is on Sam and My side. He wasn't near scary.
Speaker 1: Scary was in zero danger whatsoever. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, this guy's gonna fucking kick my car.
Speaker 1: The girls argue, thank you, set Gandhi. You you made
Speaker 1: a mistake of saying he wasn't near Scary. I don't
Speaker 1: know what scariest problem is. Scary's not worried about you
Speaker 1: and Sam. He said it. He's worried about his car.
Speaker 1: The man was on the side of the car, not
Speaker 1: the Gandhi side, on the same side. He told us
Speaker 1: out in no uncertain terms. He said, I wasn't worried
Speaker 1: about you two. I didn't want him to fuck up
Speaker 1: my car. Like there's a man telling us he burns people,
Speaker 1: telling us we're going to burn in hell getting irritated
Speaker 1: at us, and Scary is worried about his car. But
Speaker 1: he's only getting irritated. You guys are being combative toward him.
Speaker 1: Why can't you just take the pamphlet, say thank you
Speaker 1: so much and have a nice day. He would go away.
Speaker 1: Gandhi at any point at Scary say excuse me, sir,
Speaker 1: if you're going to burn them, can you please have
Speaker 1: them step out of the car first. No, but I
Speaker 1: think he would have. Yeah, I could see like the
Speaker 1: guy who was getting ready with the gasoline and the
Speaker 1: and the and the flat and the lighter. Sir, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to burn these heathens, would you please
Speaker 1: have them step outside the car? My car is Christian?
Speaker 1: Pretty much all I could say, you give a shit
Speaker 1: about anything? Car. He didn't care that someone was being
Speaker 1: extremely rude to two people who he allegedly cares about
Speaker 1: people either of us rude to him. I'm not listening.
Speaker 1: We have to we have to eat shit. Why should
Speaker 1: we have to eat I'll tell you why, because because
Speaker 1: if the guy is as crazy enough to say that
Speaker 1: he's set people on fire, and is that much of
Speaker 1: a maniac to begin with, then you know that you
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it passed him to do something crazy on
Speaker 1: the spot right then and there. To me, he's highly illogical,
Speaker 1: and he's a highly illogical maniac as it is. You
Speaker 1: don't want to poke that there, and I believe I
Speaker 1: don't disagree. I don't think us handing a pamphlet back
Speaker 1: to him is really melting off and like starting shit.
Speaker 1: I think you expecting us to just hold on to
Speaker 1: it and eat ship from somebody who's being abusive toward
Speaker 1: us people. It came over and Poach approached us and
Speaker 1: he opened it in hell because I'm a hell he said.
Speaker 1: He started by saying, he handed the pamphlet. That's how
Speaker 1: he started. He handed the pamphlet, and we handed it back.
Speaker 1: That's how he started. Why do you think we handed
Speaker 1: it back. I happily took it from him, and I
Speaker 1: was gonna just say, okay, cool, thanks sir, have a
Speaker 1: wonderful day. And then he hits us with you guys
Speaker 1: are going to burn in hell, get out of here. Scary,
Speaker 1: I think because it was something Sam said that set
Speaker 1: him off. I'm telling you it was. But I'm a Jew. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the things people off the best who I'd like
Speaker 1: to chime in him. But before you do that, but
Speaker 1: in my in my opinion, the best, the best and
Speaker 1: the best solution of the best way this Christian, the
Speaker 1: best way this could have gone. Is he approached the vehicle.
Speaker 1: Obviously we were exposed because the top was down, and
Speaker 1: he hands him hands each one of us the pamphlets.
Speaker 1: He says what he has to say, Jesus will repent.
Speaker 1: You were There's still time to repent because this world
Speaker 1: is coming to an end, and you just shake him off,
Speaker 1: and you'd be like, yes, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Let him say his peace and walk away. But it wasn't.
Speaker 1: That is how monsters grow by apathetic people who just
Speaker 1: allow it because chickens. It's not our job. It's not
Speaker 1: our job to come at people. And I am not
Speaker 1: a social justice warrior, dude. I just want to get
Speaker 1: out of there with my life workers. Yeah, I know that,
Speaker 1: but he's irrational. There's nothing you're gonna say to this
Speaker 1: guy's so white manning this and being like you should
Speaker 1: just deal with it and move on, little lady, that's
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You don't understand what it's like for
Speaker 1: people to say shit to you because you're gonna feed.
Speaker 1: You're feeding the throwing logs in the fire though by
Speaker 1: talking back to him. Scary, Yes, scary, same scenario. You're
Speaker 1: in Gandhi's car. You're not quite as upset, are you? No? No,
Speaker 1: I still have there you go, Yes, Brodie high fly
Speaker 1: from Afar. There you go, there you go. I think,
Speaker 1: I think, Look, I'm gonna be honest with you as
Speaker 1: as someone who is Jewish, I've been in that situation
Speaker 1: many times. This is not about religious this point it's
Speaker 1: about some creep coming up to your look. I I
Speaker 1: would prefer to get into debates with people and and
Speaker 1: and tell them that I don't want any part of
Speaker 1: anything where I have to be threatened that I'll burn
Speaker 1: in hell if I don't follow every rule. I don't
Speaker 1: want to believe in that kind of system. That being said,
Speaker 1: I respect Sam and Gandhi for what they did. I
Speaker 1: have to admit I'm probably more of a coward. I
Speaker 1: probably in the past have said, oh, yeah, I'll take
Speaker 1: a look at this, thank you so much for sharing that. Yes,
Speaker 1: And then when they walked away, I gave him the
Speaker 1: finger and I said ship to my wife, and I'm like, whatever,
Speaker 1: that's what I would have done, hold on, hold on
Speaker 1: and threw it out. I'm not gonna read this thing
Speaker 1: that's not behind the scenes. Yeah, but I hope if
Speaker 1: I have to, I'm not trying to plus Scary Jones.
Speaker 1: If I'm with my wife, I'm more likely to suck
Speaker 1: it up and not cause a scene. But if I
Speaker 1: had been there in that car, and what you know,
Speaker 1: once I stopped coughing from the fumes of the tunnel,
Speaker 1: I would have said I would have I probably would
Speaker 1: have gotten I would have I would have cased the
Speaker 1: guy seen up and down if if he seemed like
Speaker 1: he had a gas can with him in a lighter,
Speaker 1: and also my place of it in the car. But
Speaker 1: you have to get through Sam and Gandhi to get
Speaker 1: to me first. I probably would have said something similar
Speaker 1: to what they said, because you know, enjoy your religion,
Speaker 1: like and that this is not really a conversation about
Speaker 1: religion as much as it's a conversation about standing up
Speaker 1: for yourself and Scary's car. But if you enjoy your religion, go,
Speaker 1: enjoy your religion. But let me have my day, Let
Speaker 1: me have my emphasema, let me cough, let me let
Speaker 1: me fix my hair blown in the wind, whatever you know,
Speaker 1: but go away. All I want to do was to
Speaker 1: choose the path of least resistance and diffuse the situation.
Speaker 1: And by Gandhi and and and Sam voicing their opinion
Speaker 1: which I agreed with, to this guy who is an
Speaker 1: irrational motherfucker, you know, it doesn't it doesn't compute, it
Speaker 1: doesn't add up. So if why are you wasting your
Speaker 1: breath on this fucking random weirdo? That's all I said. Guy.
Speaker 1: If the guy said to you. I want you to
Speaker 1: say your mother's a whore and your two friends in
Speaker 1: the car a horse, or I'm gonna scratch your car.
Speaker 1: Would you have said, Gandhi and Sama, who is my
Speaker 1: mother's a whore? Yes? Like, where do you enjoy the line?
Speaker 1: How far would you have gone along with this guy?
Speaker 1: If this guy said, pulled down your pants, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: scratch your car, would you pull down your pants? No? Right,
Speaker 1: you'd stand up for yourself at some point. But all
Speaker 1: he was doing is different. All he was doing was
Speaker 1: handing us three pamphlets and spreading what he thought was
Speaker 1: his missionary fucking gospel to the world because he had
Speaker 1: a fucking I'm scary. The three of us took the pamphlets.
Speaker 1: Did Sam and I not take them? Yeah? You handed
Speaker 1: them back though about it. But as you took them,
Speaker 1: then turn and look at us and say, oh, you
Speaker 1: two are definitely going to burn in hell. Well, then
Speaker 1: you get your pamphlet back. He didn't say that until
Speaker 1: Sam said what she said. No, he said, if you're
Speaker 1: not bathed in the blood of Christ, you're burning in hell.
Speaker 1: And Sam said, oh, I'm a Jew, And he said, well,
Speaker 1: then you're definitely burning in hell, and that's when she
Speaker 1: handed the pamphlet back. And I don't think she's wrong
Speaker 1: to have done that. Yeah, but to me, he started
Speaker 1: off being polite. He turned a corner, so we turned
Speaker 1: a corner with him. Is it the smartest thing to do? No?
Speaker 1: But at some point you have to step for something.
Speaker 1: And I just think you have no idea what it's
Speaker 1: like because people don't come at you for who you
Speaker 1: are about anything. You are a white Catholic male. You
Speaker 1: don't deal with any of that. I'm spineless thing for
Speaker 1: They're like, fuck off, I'm fineless. But people come to
Speaker 1: come at me for other things. But we're not just
Speaker 1: talking about religion. People are no but I will say
Speaker 1: that this but this world has gotten progressively crazier. It
Speaker 1: has gotten much more nuts. There's more mental health and
Speaker 1: wellness problems on walking this planet than they ever were before.
Speaker 1: We agreed on that the more people just look away
Speaker 1: from it, the more it grows. Something has to change, right,
Speaker 1: change it, or you can be made an example of
Speaker 1: and get killed. I don't know the worst case scenarios
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know what this guy was capable of.
Speaker 1: Who knows if he's capable enough to be walking around
Speaker 1: a fucking gas station on a ninety de Greek day,
Speaker 1: handing out pamphlets saying everyone's he could be that, he
Speaker 1: could be fine, he could be next level fucking crazy
Speaker 1: to do more than this the ultimate question, here's the
Speaker 1: ultimate question, scary, and then we can we can maybe
Speaker 1: move on. I don't know. Ye if somebody said you scary,
Speaker 1: you tell the story right, and somebody says to you, wow, scared,
Speaker 1: that's some story. Is every okay? Be honest, your response
Speaker 1: would be yes, my car is fine. None, we're all okay,
Speaker 1: We're all okay. I was fearing for your kid. He
Speaker 1: was still driving the Masda. Well, the car was the
Speaker 1: first thing that would he would have hit because it
Speaker 1: was right there before you guys, and then he would
Speaker 1: have come for you guys, or me or whoever. I
Speaker 1: don't know. What you said was, oh my god, you guys,
Speaker 1: he could have fucked up my car. And Sam and
Speaker 1: I both tackled because there was no concern for either
Speaker 1: of us there that was upset. It was, oh my god,
Speaker 1: he would have sucked up my car. You know that
Speaker 1: I care about you guys. And that was me being
Speaker 1: halfway third, no, fourth, the spare tire is second. I
Speaker 1: just think you leave lunatics like that alone and you
Speaker 1: let them, let them say what they have to say.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you do you really come at people
Speaker 1: that are talking to themselves in the middle of the
Speaker 1: street anywhere to themselves. They're not talking to me the street.
Speaker 1: I just keep walking. If someone shouting at you walking
Speaker 1: down the street at three o'clock in the morning, what
Speaker 1: do you do. Do you yell back at them or
Speaker 1: do you just keep walking and ignore? No, I would
Speaker 1: keep walking, So then this would be the I was
Speaker 1: asking that way. The equivalent would you the equivalent of ignoring?
Speaker 1: Would you be like, take the pamphlet, thank you so much,
Speaker 1: say what you want. I'm actively bothering me. I'm going
Speaker 1: to say something back. If someone's just screaming into the sky,
Speaker 1: let them scream into the sky. This person actively approached us,
Speaker 1: and he started by saying some bullshit. You're saying, turn
Speaker 1: the other chief walk away. Maybe, but at some point
Speaker 1: people get sick of that shit, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I don't think you've ever reached the point where
Speaker 1: you're sick of shit because you don't experience it all right, scary.
Speaker 1: I I disagree on this. I'm like I again, I'm
Speaker 1: more of a coward than the two girls apparently, But
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. No, no no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: never on your side. I'm saying I am. Don't call
Speaker 1: me a douchebag. Sea. I stood up for myself. I
Speaker 1: understand where they're coming from because and this is a
Speaker 1: whole other conversation about religion and our lives and what
Speaker 1: we what we put up with. But I would like
Speaker 1: to stand up to people like that. For instance, if
Speaker 1: somebody came to me on the street right and handing
Speaker 1: out pamphlets in Times Square, vegan restaurant, vegan restaurant, get
Speaker 1: a menu, I would be like, dude, I like me.
Speaker 1: I would say something. But if they were a crazy
Speaker 1: killer and they're like, i've burned vegetables before in my life,
Speaker 1: I'll burn you, I would probably take the menu and
Speaker 1: be like, broccoli looks exactly my point. You're on my side.
Speaker 1: You're not saying it, but you actually are a great no, no,
Speaker 1: thank you my side side because they have the balls
Speaker 1: to say what I would like to say. I'm not
Speaker 1: on your side because you care more about your call
Speaker 1: if you were in my position and tunnel, if it
Speaker 1: was your brand new Darts charger and you were in
Speaker 1: the driver's seat and the same thing happened, how would
Speaker 1: you have felt if they said what they said. My
Speaker 1: car's a lease and the top is always up because
Speaker 1: it's not a convertible, so I'd be fine. Also, I
Speaker 1: have a three hundred and seventy horsepower engine, I'd zip
Speaker 1: the fuck out of there. So with the gle is
Speaker 1: still in the side of the gas tank. If that's
Speaker 1: what it took to protect my friends, boom ambout, and
Speaker 1: then you can get so far to the gas station.
Speaker 1: I love you, Gandhi, I love you, and you have
Speaker 1: more balls than I do. And maybe maybe I search
Speaker 1: deep within to find I should sign up for this
Speaker 1: guy's team. It's a team where if I don't do
Speaker 1: it right, I'm gonna burn in Hell, Versus the team
Speaker 1: I'm on that doesn't believe in Hell. So I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm covering mind. It was like, oh, it's cool, I
Speaker 1: don't believe in Hell. No problems. Sam was definitely the
Speaker 1: one that was getting salty with the guy first, and
Speaker 1: then you held back, not listen. It was pass over.
Speaker 1: Sam hasn't that bread? Leave alone? I'm telling you, Brodie.
Speaker 1: She was not being salty. She was like, I'm a jew.
Speaker 1: Here you go. You can take this back. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm a hand dude. You can have this back. Take
Speaker 1: so much, have a great and then he can, he explained,
Speaker 1: and then she says, I don't have a hell, so
Speaker 1: I'm good. Like she got smart with she got smart
Speaker 1: with him. He knows that he's take your take about
Speaker 1: insults that we're not coming at you about who you
Speaker 1: are in your religion. You're taking He was looking at
Speaker 1: me up, he was looking at me. He was saying
Speaker 1: the same shit to me. Hee. You immediately bowed and
Speaker 1: fucking showed him your belly and we're like, I'm a Catholic.
Speaker 1: I'm okay, bleeve blie. I was just trying. I was
Speaker 1: trying to make friends in that moment, the moment I
Speaker 1: was trying to make friends. Man's scary. Scary if a guy.
Speaker 1: If if you're in a bar and and and a
Speaker 1: man comes up to you, happens to be gay and says, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really interested in you. Starps hitting on you,
Speaker 1: hitting on you, do you say to him, Hey, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm not here for that. I'm here to
Speaker 1: hang out. Would you be like, hey, I'm straight. You're
Speaker 1: telling you I was straight? Right? No, I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: don't think I would. I don't know what I would
Speaker 1: do really. But that person is like, hey, man, if
Speaker 1: you're not here, canary apples and all ranges, apples and apples.
Speaker 1: This is because this guy is an irrational weirdo. You're
Speaker 1: not telling a person who come up to you in
Speaker 1: a bar is of singing a sound mind, so they'll
Speaker 1: understand that message when I give it to them that
Speaker 1: I'm straight. Let's say Let's say let's say, and again
Speaker 1: it's not being gay or not being gay, but let's
Speaker 1: say a man who is gay walks up to you
Speaker 1: the gas station is like, hey, man, uh uh, you know,
Speaker 1: give me your phone number. I'm into you. I'd like
Speaker 1: to take you out to dinner, and if you don't,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, you're gonna burn in hell. You'd
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, I'm flattered, but I'm straight.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be like, no, I'm gonna committed relationship with
Speaker 1: another man right now. You wouldn't say that, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: you're you're all you're doing is serving up preposterous examples
Speaker 1: that would never happen in real life. A man would
Speaker 1: never find you attract That's probably accurate. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you're teaming up. I'm now now I'm feeling I feel attacked.
Speaker 1: You guys are both teaming up on me. I didn't
Speaker 1: call it what you expect. Yeah, were you calling me
Speaker 1: in the hopes of you and Brody teaming up on me? No?
Speaker 1: I was hoping that I get I would actually get
Speaker 1: something out of this other than that I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I thought that the scariest wrong jingle wrong. I thought
Speaker 1: that I would I thought that Brody would actually say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm with you on this because there was a lot
Speaker 1: of things that were at play here, that the guy
Speaker 1: was volatile, and that things could have happened for the worst.
Speaker 1: So yes, I was hoping to because I because I
Speaker 1: wanted to know that I wasn't crazy and feeling the
Speaker 1: way I feel. But obviously now I scared. The only
Speaker 1: thing about all of this is that is crazy at all.
Speaker 1: I get how why you feel what you feel. I
Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from. I'm saying I wish you
Speaker 1: could understand where Sam and I are coming from. But furthermore,
Speaker 1: your concern to all of this was not Sam or
Speaker 1: I or anything that happened. It was your car. It
Speaker 1: really was everything, it would could have been anything. I
Speaker 1: just liked diffusing situations and I didn't want to I
Speaker 1: didn't want to see all of it everything. So the
Speaker 1: difference is if I was in my Dodge Charger, I
Speaker 1: I would probably in the back of my mind be thinking,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, scary gandhi Sam, please don't
Speaker 1: get hurt, don't don't get hurt, not don't say it.
Speaker 1: But I'd be like, oh God, I would prefer if
Speaker 1: they didn't say it, because I would be worried for them.
Speaker 1: But I would not be thinking about my car. That
Speaker 1: I'll give you. I'll put that like, not worried about
Speaker 1: my car, thinking about all worry about my my friends
Speaker 1: and if they will be okay. I would hope for
Speaker 1: them to be quieter because I worry about because they
Speaker 1: should be quiet, only because I know I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they should be quiet. You guys are fearless and and
Speaker 1: and I don't know where you guys get it from.
Speaker 1: And I'm I you're a better man than I. No
Speaker 1: it has. I'm just saying we're coming from very very
Speaker 1: different comes to this kind of stuff. People were don't
Speaker 1: want to be. I don't have to be right for
Speaker 1: the sake of being right. I know I'm right in
Speaker 1: my own head, so I don't. I could just brush
Speaker 1: it off and no, no, no, I'm talking about if
Speaker 1: I was in this situation. I'm with the guy with
Speaker 1: the guy, Yes, with the guy, Not with you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm so, I will, I will bite
Speaker 1: my tongue, I'll like, yes, you're right, Yes, I should repent,
Speaker 1: I should burn in hell. Yes, whatever, goodbye, get out
Speaker 1: of here, go on to the next car, pedal your
Speaker 1: shit somewhere else. That's that is, That's my way of
Speaker 1: handling situations like that. But you know, but you you
Speaker 1: will probably last a whole lot longer than Samurai are
Speaker 1: gonna last in some capacity where somebody decides to be
Speaker 1: crazy and snap at the people who had something to say,
Speaker 1: you're right. You can live a life and fear, and
Speaker 1: you will probably go a lot further or farther. I
Speaker 1: don't know which one it is. I don't want Berdie
Speaker 1: to correct me either way. I think that that's how
Speaker 1: you want to listen, you should live, and then probably
Speaker 1: a ton of people who agree with you. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: Sam and I have dealt with bullshit a little more
Speaker 1: so it just gets really frustrating. And every now and
Speaker 1: then you just have to tell some people to fuck off.
Speaker 1: And we didn't even tell him to fuck off. We
Speaker 1: just handed his pamphlets back. Yeah, I would prefer if
Speaker 1: you told a sane, sound minded person to fuck off
Speaker 1: as opposed to a really we we didn't tell them
Speaker 1: the fuck off. Insane people of sound mind don't do
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's true, all right. Speaking of insane people,
Speaker 1: I just googled should I drive through a tunnel my
Speaker 1: top down? Yeah, here's the first thing I've found. It's
Speaker 1: better to keep your windows closed due to the excess
Speaker 1: exhaust fumes. Let your car's filtering system, assuming it has one,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure your car does handle, providing you with
Speaker 1: relatively clean air. Or you could put your AC in
Speaker 1: recirculating mode to help keep out the fumes and the smells. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: thank you, all right, just take another dagger today. This
Speaker 1: is backfired. I love you, Gandhi. You could go out,
Speaker 1: go home and do I love you bye and We're
Speaker 1: gonna bye guys podcast. Wow, Well that was fun. Didn't
Speaker 1: see that coming. That was again that I would have
Speaker 1: wanted them to say less out of fear of my
Speaker 1: own fear for them. Yeah, but you worry about the
Speaker 1: herd too much. It's at least that was part of it.
Speaker 1: It was. It was just I was, I was half joking,
Speaker 1: I was. I was worried for everybody's safety at that point.
Speaker 1: The guy, I don't know what he's gonna do, dude.
Speaker 1: I was driving down sixth Avenue today on the way
Speaker 1: to work in four lanes at five o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: Road is relatively empty, thank god, And all of a
Speaker 1: sudden there's a traffic jam ahead and some fucking random
Speaker 1: guy is like looking around into space, like in the
Speaker 1: middle of the second lane, just like whoa like like
Speaker 1: what and people had to go around him, they'd just stop.
Speaker 1: God forbid, that guy could have gotten run over and
Speaker 1: run over. This is what we're dealing with. This is
Speaker 1: what's happening in this world. I don't mean to be death,
Speaker 1: doom and destruction, but no, no, no, I just like
Speaker 1: to my mom. My mom always told me keeping nose
Speaker 1: clean and only talk to your friends. That guy was
Speaker 1: not my friend. I'll take in your pamphlet, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Yeah, yeah, I can see you later. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, we can move on please And and man
Speaker 1: oh man, we've we've we've really eaten up a lot
Speaker 1: of time on this and I'm so I want to
Speaker 1: talk about the city because you were talking about driving
Speaker 1: on sixth Avenue last episode. You were complaining about e
Speaker 1: bikes and the green pathway in the street where they're
Speaker 1: riding right. Oh, yeah, they're coming out now. Yeah. So again,
Speaker 1: my wife and I were in Times Square. We're going
Speaker 1: to see a Broadway show, which we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: because you've seen it and I've seen it and it
Speaker 1: was fantastic. So we're on our way to see Shucked,
Speaker 1: which is a new Broadway comic comedy, and we're trying
Speaker 1: to cross eighth Avenue. It was eighth and we we
Speaker 1: step out into the street and and there's a green lane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: green lane. Scary was talking. Now, We're careful, you don't
Speaker 1: get We're on the U southwest corner. So yep, uh,
Speaker 1: we're on the left side of the street, on the
Speaker 1: southern side. How did that go closer? To downtown. Cars
Speaker 1: not cars, e bikes and motorcycles start flying when the
Speaker 1: light changes and then making left turns right where we're standing.
Speaker 1: One of them missed me maybe by two inches. Tell
Speaker 1: you this is a real thing. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: scary was right. So I'm gonna give you props for that,
Speaker 1: because the city was insanity. And it's only because the
Speaker 1: weather is getting better, so there's more of them out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's tourists and look, I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was the pandemic. I don't know if it's tourism, but
Speaker 1: no matter how busy Manhattan is, and it's probably any
Speaker 1: city USA, but New York is probably the biggest victim
Speaker 1: of this of this problem. When you cross a horde
Speaker 1: of people crossed the street going one way and a
Speaker 1: horde of people across the street coming at you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it used to be eighty five percent of the
Speaker 1: horde would stay to the right, because that's how we're taught,
Speaker 1: that's how you walk in America. And eighty five percent
Speaker 1: would stay to their right, which is my left, and
Speaker 1: most people would be able to and a couple of
Speaker 1: British people would go on the wrong side of course,
Speaker 1: now everybody stands completely wide the whole width of the crosswalk, right,
Speaker 1: So instead of like five people wide going one way
Speaker 1: and five people wide going the other, it's now ten
Speaker 1: people wide going one way and ten people wide going
Speaker 1: the other way, and everybody has to slam into each other. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fuck is going on. There's no rules. Stay to
Speaker 1: the fucking right. It's lawlessness. They don't care. People think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right to the front and and stand
Speaker 1: ten wide because I'm gonna hurry. Manhattan, you're crashing into
Speaker 1: other people. Manhattan is just sloppy in general. It's gotten sloppy.
Speaker 1: They used to be a flow and then who could
Speaker 1: you could flow? Now you got mopeds and motorcycles and
Speaker 1: vespas and e bikes and scooters all going and tigers
Speaker 1: and they're all going to Some of them are going
Speaker 1: the wrong way. Others have that nice little green lane
Speaker 1: and it's on a one one way street. But yet,
Speaker 1: but yet, but yet, the the bikers are are in
Speaker 1: the middle of the street. When there's a bike lane,
Speaker 1: they have lanes for them, build for them, and they're
Speaker 1: still going and they're going the wrong way. There is
Speaker 1: no rules, they're gonna have to paint north and south
Speaker 1: colors on the sidewalk so people know which side of
Speaker 1: the street walk on. What happened to human beings the pandemic.
Speaker 1: People are out of their minds now. It's disgusting. Year
Speaker 1: olds come out of the pandemic as sixteen year olds
Speaker 1: and not know what side of the street. Then there's
Speaker 1: you got Then you got the food those food uh
Speaker 1: what he called those the places, the places where they uh,
Speaker 1: the food shacks, the shacks where they people are sitting,
Speaker 1: the outdoor dining shocks or seating, the outdoor seating pavilions,
Speaker 1: and these structures that are up avilions, whatever the hell
Speaker 1: they are. There's bike racks, the city bike racks take
Speaker 1: it up. It's just disgusting. And then the bike lanes,
Speaker 1: and then there's the there's the garbage. It's it is
Speaker 1: at the city. I'm just complaining about people. No, but
Speaker 1: all of it adds to the chaos and the lawlessness slices.
Speaker 1: When you come to New York, if you're not from
Speaker 1: New York, enjoy the greatest city in the world. Really
Speaker 1: it is. But stay to the right. Same rules apply
Speaker 1: that you drive a car as on the sidewalk don't
Speaker 1: stop short, keep moving, stay to the right. Everyone's high.
Speaker 1: You want to look up, look up at a distance. No,
Speaker 1: everyone's high. Everyone's everyone's smoking weed. That's all all this
Speaker 1: contributes to it. It all contribute to people, but not
Speaker 1: on the street. You can't breathe and all being in
Speaker 1: a tunnel with the top down. And and just because
Speaker 1: weed is legal in New York, it's weed, and it's
Speaker 1: it's it's legal to smoke ah and these, that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that these dispensaries have the right to pop up
Speaker 1: and sell THHC. Because they do not have They don't
Speaker 1: have the right too. They don't have the lot, they
Speaker 1: don't have licenses. You have to be licensed for it.
Speaker 1: So there's hundreds of these, story was popping up. I
Speaker 1: went in there yesterday with a buddy of mine. He goes, oh,
Speaker 1: here's another one of these. It's dragged you in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well jet Ski Bryan, jet Sky Bryan. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: so here's what they do. They advertise the Delta eight,
Speaker 1: which is the legal anyone could sell without a license.
Speaker 1: And you walk in, there's candy, there's soda whatever, and
Speaker 1: there's and then there are these mirrored mirrord display cases
Speaker 1: and you could see like the products that they're offering.
Speaker 1: But and then the guy verbally tells you, yeah, we
Speaker 1: got uh, we got rolled joints. We got whatever you
Speaker 1: want here, and then he's like yeah, he goes, oh
Speaker 1: want give me give me five of them. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the guy is behind the counter behind a
Speaker 1: mirrored glass um case view case which you could see into.
Speaker 1: It's a two way fucking mirror case. It he he
Speaker 1: reaches underneath and in and you see his hands going
Speaker 1: into the case almost toward you. But do you realize
Speaker 1: it's a physical impossibility because you don't see his hands,
Speaker 1: you don't see him doing it, and like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's a whole hidden fucking closet that he's got underneath
Speaker 1: here for the illegal shit. And he comes up and
Speaker 1: he puts the whole case on top of the counter,
Speaker 1: the countertop, and he's like, yeah, what do you want?
Speaker 1: We got this, this, and this, and then you take
Speaker 1: what you want and then he puts it back in.
Speaker 1: But his hands are going toward you inside the case,
Speaker 1: but you don't see his hands. You see a reflection
Speaker 1: of what's in the case. It's the biggest psych out
Speaker 1: it's almost like an illusion, optical illusion is But so
Speaker 1: what did he bring out? Oh, illegal marijuana, just like
Speaker 1: we just literally joints. Okay, so there are types of
Speaker 1: marijuana that aren't legal in New York. Yeah, well no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's all legalized the THHC regular marijuana legs, but it's
Speaker 1: illegal to sell without a license, which is pretty much kind.
Speaker 1: So he's pulling out the stuff that makes you go
Speaker 1: up to people and threaten to burn them at cars. Yeah, basically,
Speaker 1: anytime you see these dispensaries or whatever, or they're selling
Speaker 1: like the gummies with the Delta eight, which is totally
Speaker 1: legal to sell without a license, there's a whole lot
Speaker 1: more back there that they could that they're going to
Speaker 1: sell you. That they can sell you, but you have
Speaker 1: to ask for it. Wink wink. It's one of those things.
Speaker 1: But will not be doing that, wink wink. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that. Yeah, the licensed THHC real weed dispensaries
Speaker 1: that they have are few and far between in the city.
Speaker 1: Most of them don't have the license. They only have
Speaker 1: the license to sell the Delta eight, but they're carrying
Speaker 1: the other stuff anyway and selling it to you from
Speaker 1: behind the counter, behind an optical illusion counter. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like this in my life. I wish this
Speaker 1: pod cast is not visual, but man oh man I
Speaker 1: anyway I saw, I couldn't believe what I was seeing
Speaker 1: visual you'd be bringing out drugs on the camera. What
Speaker 1: are you talk you know? I would try and show
Speaker 1: you what do what do these counters look like? It's
Speaker 1: like you're looking into a display case. You've totally knocked
Speaker 1: all these guys and given the police to the tip
Speaker 1: off on where they're hiding all the good ship or
Speaker 1: the illegal ship they should know. Yeah, you think this
Speaker 1: is like Times Square Canal Street where they put the
Speaker 1: really expensive fake purses in the behind the wall, every right,
Speaker 1: and it's a wall that doesn't look like it opens
Speaker 1: or something, or it's like a trap door. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: that's the equivalent of what was going on. Interesting anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, we got to get a break, all right,
Speaker 1: way behind. I'm still but hurt from the last segment.
Speaker 1: All right, can we talk about Shucked for a minute?
Speaker 1: We absolutely can. For several minutes, Very Scary went to
Speaker 1: see Shocked with a couple of other people from the
Speaker 1: Morning show, and he texts me, and he says, oh
Speaker 1: my god, the show is fantastic. I thought of you
Speaker 1: the whole time, inting me yeah, because it's puns and
Speaker 1: it's clever and it's it's rapid fire jokes. And usually
Speaker 1: when people say that, I go, yeah, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: it's fine, okay, I'm sure it was hilarious. And I
Speaker 1: start reading the reviews and they're like, holy crap, these
Speaker 1: are really good reviews. It sounds like Scary knows what
Speaker 1: he's talking about. So if you guys saw my social media,
Speaker 1: you would see that I went and I loved it.
Speaker 1: So I we went Saturday night. We went to Carmines
Speaker 1: afterwards afterwards, and so we went. We had really good seats,
Speaker 1: which I think we sat sixth row off to the right.
Speaker 1: We got lucky on the seats, and Humble brake, well,
Speaker 1: we got lucky on the seats. I got it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: got lucky. Yeah, I got lucky. I want a trip
Speaker 1: to uh to uh Lisbon in Paris. All right, Scary,
Speaker 1: first of all, the jokes, flying fast and furious, You're
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. I said that there will be
Speaker 1: no longer than thirty seconds without a laugh. No spoilers.
Speaker 1: The brother. Oh my god, the brother, priceless, great character.
Speaker 1: The story. There's two storytellers who narrate the show, and
Speaker 1: I love them both. But I want to give a
Speaker 1: special I want to get this guy on our podcast
Speaker 1: if we can. I would I take anybody from the show,
Speaker 1: but Gray Henson, the male storyteller. His facial expressions and
Speaker 1: his timing unbelievable. Um. The I have never, and I've
Speaker 1: seen a fair amount of Broadway shows, I have never
Speaker 1: seen a standing ovation in the middle of an act
Speaker 1: where somebody's again, I'm gonna say, who are what? Somebody
Speaker 1: sings sings a song in the middle of an act
Speaker 1: and the place stopped. Everybody still, Oh, we didn't get
Speaker 1: that reaction. I don't know what part you're talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk. Um. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The night before we were there, the person who got
Speaker 1: the standing ovation was outsick, and um missed the performance
Speaker 1: the night before. I believe or had missed a performance
Speaker 1: in two that week from what we read online. And
Speaker 1: so it's possible you went to a show where this
Speaker 1: person had off the day or is it mattenee, whatever
Speaker 1: it was. Sometimes you don't get the full cast. Someone
Speaker 1: else whatever I handing that little slip of paper flu
Speaker 1: slides out of the playbill. I'm like, no replacement Lynn
Speaker 1: Manuel Miranda will be played by Mike Smith, Like, damn it.
Speaker 1: But usually the person who fills in is phenomenal, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure the person who fills in for this person
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. That being said, I've never seen everyone stand up,
Speaker 1: and they had stopped the show while everyone stood up
Speaker 1: in the song. The difficulty and the quality of the
Speaker 1: performance was odd. There's a lot of women in the show.
Speaker 1: There was a few ways. Was it a female solo vocal?
Speaker 1: I will say it's someone who was on Glee? How
Speaker 1: about that? That's it all right? Okay? Um? The cast
Speaker 1: is spot on um and the timing, the jokes, the
Speaker 1: timing the comedy, and on a lot on a live
Speaker 1: stage like that that many one liners and and and
Speaker 1: quick singers, expressions and the hand gestures, and you're like,
Speaker 1: what is shocked about? I will say, they make a
Speaker 1: lot of corn puns. And so if you look at
Speaker 1: my Twitter, yeah, at David Brody, I tweeted that I
Speaker 1: enjoyed the show, and the shuck Twitter account tweeted me
Speaker 1: back a pun. They were like oh, I'm either yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you had a quarantastic time or something. So
Speaker 1: you know me with puns, I went back and forth
Speaker 1: about how I got into the city in a jiffy,
Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, anyway, the thing we started
Speaker 1: doing cornpun started doing corn puns from five or six tweets,
Speaker 1: I will say that much fun, I will say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just want to say that never ever. This is
Speaker 1: this is a classic example of judging. Don't judge a
Speaker 1: book by its cover, because a lot of people go
Speaker 1: in saying it's a play about corn. What could be
Speaker 1: funny about this? Well, I don't understand it, but it's work.
Speaker 1: This is the word of mouth smash hit of the year,
Speaker 1: I think, and it's gonna I think it's gonna win
Speaker 1: some Tony's because of the comedy, the comedic precision and everything.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is just awesome. You've got to see Shucked.
Speaker 1: If you're in town. Make it a priority. The interesting
Speaker 1: thing about Shucked is it takes place in a very
Speaker 1: small town and it's about small town life. But if
Speaker 1: you're from the big city, there's enough jokes that like
Speaker 1: include you as a big city person, right, But if
Speaker 1: you're a small town person visiting New York. Then then
Speaker 1: there's also jokes that you get and it's like, right,
Speaker 1: it's like aimed at everybody. Just a small town boy
Speaker 1: living in a lull anyway, Buttom reason South Detroit. I
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect. That's a city boy. Sorry, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't know what to expect going in. Um. I
Speaker 1: will say, if you're from Tampa, you will enjoy the
Speaker 1: scenes and take place in Tampa, or you will not
Speaker 1: enjoy the scene. No, hilarious. So yeah, small town and
Speaker 1: then there's a scene that takes place in Tampa. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's just I was. It was one of those shows
Speaker 1: that you go to and you're like, why can't I
Speaker 1: own this on on DVD? Right, Like, I hope they
Speaker 1: stream it. I want to watch this again. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I would go see it again because of the NonStop jokes.
Speaker 1: I would go to see it again because I feel
Speaker 1: like I missed some jokes because some people were laughing
Speaker 1: so hard that they were missing some of the lines
Speaker 1: that were coming out, and I'm like or something, just
Speaker 1: like wait a second, they laughed at that and I
Speaker 1: didn't get it, And now it's too late for me.
Speaker 1: To turn back, because there were a couple of times
Speaker 1: where I was just you know, I had to say,
Speaker 1: what was that joke? At that moment that everybody got
Speaker 1: a bit of jokes that I laughed at. I'm not
Speaker 1: bragging about me, but I laughed right away. And then
Speaker 1: there was a pause and then people like you could
Speaker 1: see people explaining some things, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: there was a second wave of laughter when people get said,
Speaker 1: what it is the kidney stone jokey? Holy shit? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll leave it there. All right, we've gone
Speaker 1: on and on about something that nobody has seen. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: can I just say one more thing or unrelated to shucked? Yes,
Speaker 1: but related. So you were like, oh, you got lucky
Speaker 1: with your seats, right because I had good seats, and
Speaker 1: when you go to a Broadway show, you you you
Speaker 1: pay more for better seats. That'd be fair, right, you do? Yes? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you can you can see the people better, you look
Speaker 1: closer to the action. Fine, Okay, you heard what AMC
Speaker 1: is doing right a couple of weeks oldest story? Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. They released their maps last week, so you
Speaker 1: could see the seating charts when you go to AMC theater.
Speaker 1: You can pick out any seat you want, Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: I'm okay. If you want to discount the front row
Speaker 1: as the front row sucks, you gotta look up. I
Speaker 1: get that discount the front row. But they are now
Speaker 1: doing concert seating pricing in a movie theater. Wow. So
Speaker 1: if you want to sit in the middle of the
Speaker 1: aisle and the middle of the theater, you have to
Speaker 1: pay more money for your ticket. If you want to
Speaker 1: sit off to the side, you pay less for your ticket.
Speaker 1: I feel if people don't have the money to spend
Speaker 1: for their family of four, family of five, whatever, you
Speaker 1: have to get shitty seats now, yeah, because you don't
Speaker 1: want to spend the extra twelve fifteen dollars. How do
Speaker 1: you feel about that? I say, fuck them, That's what
Speaker 1: I say. I understand that these movie theater companies are
Speaker 1: these big conglomerates, are struggling because they haven't recovered. There
Speaker 1: was some crazy fact out about only like a fraction
Speaker 1: of the people have comeback since before the pen pandemic
Speaker 1: that they had, and so they're looking for ways creative
Speaker 1: ways to make money. So this priced seating thing, to me,
Speaker 1: I see it. That's for concerts. That's for live action stuff.
Speaker 1: I feel like movie theaters should not be subject to
Speaker 1: that with this staggered pricing thing, because it's well, it's
Speaker 1: just unfair. It's you know, and you're not watching something
Speaker 1: that's like a live person like playing guitar. Want you
Speaker 1: want to be closer. I want to see the finger
Speaker 1: fingers on the guitar and want to put it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they're pretty much movie screen. Yeah, so your angle
Speaker 1: is slightly better. I gotta listen. It's first come, first served.
Speaker 1: Back in the old days, you just got there early
Speaker 1: and you hope you got a seat. So technology comes
Speaker 1: out and you're like, oh, I can pick my seat. Well,
Speaker 1: if you want to sit in the middle, what do
Speaker 1: you do? You pick your seat before the other guy does,
Speaker 1: and you get your seats again. You want to discount
Speaker 1: the first row, Discount the first row. The prices on
Speaker 1: the better they are the discount of your first row.
Speaker 1: That's how they're gonna balance it. They're gonna discount the
Speaker 1: first excuse me, discout the first row, and then raise
Speaker 1: the prices for you, Bruce, Row two is is no
Speaker 1: better than row one. Found's a little bit better. It's
Speaker 1: a row better if you're in a recliner theater. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the map and it looks like
Speaker 1: the front and then off to the side. If you're right,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit less. But the middle it's all
Speaker 1: gold seating, all gold platinum seating or whatever. You gotta
Speaker 1: pay top down. So they raised the raise the price
Speaker 1: to cine marks it whatever I want. It was that's
Speaker 1: the one that's filing for chapter eleven. It's not that's regal. Nope.
Speaker 1: It was in the news today, Cinemark. Hold on the stories.
Speaker 1: I don't want to misquote myself. Uh cinemamrk uh chapter eleven.
Speaker 1: Let's see, um, there's a story about let's see here,
Speaker 1: they're having trouble. I just know they're having issues. They're closing,
Speaker 1: they're filing. Um. Okay. According to market Watch, Cinemark stock
Speaker 1: leaps towards eight month high as it scored the highest
Speaker 1: one day total. Uh yeah, you should invest in Cinemark.
Speaker 1: Box office boom Planet based Cinemark has highest single day ever.
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't Cinemark. There was a negative story that
Speaker 1: kim Mark. I'll tell you why Cinemark's doing well, and
Speaker 1: I might buy their Stock movie theaters are nice. The
Speaker 1: sound system is amazing, and it's all new, and they
Speaker 1: don't charge extras to sit in the middle. O AMC,
Speaker 1: which has more theaters in my area, the seats are
Speaker 1: ripped up, the lights don't work, and they have the audacity.
Speaker 1: Remember that's I told you. I saw toy Story four
Speaker 1: or whatever and it was a brown like a rectangle
Speaker 1: on the screen. That's the kind of shit you're paying
Speaker 1: extra for it at AMC. Fuck you, AMC. Do you
Speaker 1: get free bedbugs at AMC? Though you know I told
Speaker 1: you were full of shit the last time. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to debate you on that one. You're not going
Speaker 1: to debate you. Wrong bedbugs, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't stand I had. I had to go to a
Speaker 1: theater to see air Um. Yeah, you told me it
Speaker 1: was AMC. I loved it, but it was just this
Speaker 1: smell that was protruding through the like old carpet smell,
Speaker 1: like in the in the theater. Oh. I went to
Speaker 1: that AMC, that junkie one in Times Square. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it. The place was shit. It just looks like
Speaker 1: they haven't done a damn thing to it since they
Speaker 1: opened up all those years ago, and the places like tattered, destroyed, disgusting.
Speaker 1: It was. It was sad. It was one forty second
Speaker 1: Street on the south side of the street. Yes, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the one in the in the fancy old building
Speaker 1: right attached to an Applebe's in a David Busters the
Speaker 1: AMC twenty five. It sucks if I if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: that building was on the corner. They physically moved the
Speaker 1: entire building over one address and then opened it up
Speaker 1: as a movie theater and then put they put a
Speaker 1: skyscraper where the movie theater was. Whatever they slid the
Speaker 1: building over. That place needs some work, yeah, well, paint job,
Speaker 1: put lipstick on a pig. Yeah yeah, absolutely. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read some listeners stuff real quick. Yes, and
Speaker 1: I know we have to we have to mosey on
Speaker 1: out of here. Uh yeah, we do, we do, Okay.

Speaker 1: I'm not answering that ship similar to the one I

Speaker 1: that's funny. Maybe they're hoping that they've just landed, like
Speaker 1: got lightning in a bottle and then they reached out
Speaker 1: and they landed on an Emily. But that means somebody
Speaker 1: is fallen for it. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Yeah, sad,
Speaker 1: speaking of fallen for it. Mildred on LinkedIn, So mildred
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn again. I only accept connections from people that
Speaker 1: are in my industry or or similar or like on
Speaker 1: a business relationship. I want to be friends with them, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for like strangers to connect with me
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn. It's why I'm there. You're looking for strangers
Speaker 1: in the night. So Mildred sends me a message. Let
Speaker 1: me have the actual message here, She says, So, you know,
Speaker 1: like Facebook, which is people you might know? Yeah, linked
Speaker 1: LinkedIn does the same thing. LinkedIn does. Um, hey, here's
Speaker 1: someone that you're friends with or people with similar interest
Speaker 1: to you suggestions. Yeah, so Mildred says, your profile keeps recommending,
Speaker 1: Your profile keeps being recommended to me by LinkedIn. Oh
Speaker 1: really that I should connect with you? So here goes
Speaker 1: So I look up Mildred and she's business professional and
Speaker 1: company designs websites. And she used to be a barista.
Speaker 1: Doesn't say where, but she was a barista somewhere. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you know what. I was a barrist at
Speaker 1: Starbucks back in the day, as a manager, but technically
Speaker 1: I was training to be a breesta. Did you accept her? So?
Speaker 1: I said, she seems like a noble enough reason as
Speaker 1: a former Starbucks manager and trainer and of course a barista,
Speaker 1: I accept. I septed a friendship. On day two, she says,
Speaker 1: would you be interested in getting a website built for
Speaker 1: you free? My company builds websites for free, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if you want some of the more fancy,
Speaker 1: ornate or you know, upscale additions to the website, then
Speaker 1: of course we can then discuss it. But the basic
Speaker 1: website is free and I'd love to do that, feel
Speaker 1: So I wrote back, You know, I appreciate the generous offer,
Speaker 1: but I'm getting the impression you friended me so you
Speaker 1: could pitch me on a free website. No, no, not
Speaker 1: at all. I was just thinking, now that we're connected,
Speaker 1: I would let you know that my company offers free websites.
Speaker 1: And I see this right now, it sounds like you're
Speaker 1: talking to a bot. No no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: it's a real personal person or maybe AI. No no no,
Speaker 1: so she writes back, no, no, no, I friended you
Speaker 1: for this right reason. I just wanted to share. Like, okay,
Speaker 1: a few days later, you're not on LinkedIn. You list
Speaker 1: all your skills, your previous jobs, and then like I have,
Speaker 1: like audio editing. If Scary Jones cared enough about me,
Speaker 1: he would go on my my LinkedIn and say I
Speaker 1: recommend Broody for audio editing. He's good at it. Oh,
Speaker 1: I guess for perspective. I've asked you already, you haven't.
Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't really go on LinkedIn. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but I've asked you to anyway, you haven't.
Speaker 1: I asked Scary Jones to write me recommendation. All right,
Speaker 1: let me do it. So if somebody looks at your
Speaker 1: profile and might go, oh, comedy writing, I will recommend
Speaker 1: him as a comedy writer because I know he's a
Speaker 1: good comedy writer. Well, at the very bottom of all
Speaker 1: my skills, I put that I was a you know,
Speaker 1: I can be a line cook if I if I
Speaker 1: had to. Because it's interesting that I'm I have so
Speaker 1: many skills right out of nowhere. This woman recommends me
Speaker 1: as a line cook, as if like to like stay
Speaker 1: in my circle, stay in my friendship, like like make
Speaker 1: it look good, like, hey, I recommended you for a
Speaker 1: line she was she heard that you were perfect at
Speaker 1: hooking steaks. Yeah yeah, So I immediately blocked her. It
Speaker 1: like like I couldn't be more annoying that now you're
Speaker 1: looking through my page and you're like, I'm gonna recommend
Speaker 1: him because I'm gonna get on his good side. Maybe
Speaker 1: he'll buy a website for me. Fuck you Mildred, And
Speaker 1: that's not a made up name. Her real name is Mildred.
Speaker 1: I'm not friends that are linked anymore. So you can't
Speaker 1: like look to see who I fuck you Mildred. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fuck you, don't, don't scam. And then I get all
Speaker 1: these people on LinkedIn. Uh coach career coach. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: what I've noticed from LinkedIn is there's a stock there's
Speaker 1: a stock template of whatever, and all it takes is
Speaker 1: for them to hit a button and just go right
Speaker 1: down the list of their contacts and hit it again
Speaker 1: and again and again and again, and everyone gets the
Speaker 1: same message. I don't think there was one ounce of
Speaker 1: a personalized message from this woman to begin with. I
Speaker 1: think she just just email blasted her entire yep contact
Speaker 1: list on LinkedIn. That's exactly that's how they operate your profile. No,
Speaker 1: too many times people are pitching me on music and shit,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, dude, look what I do for a living.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I don't know all right anyway, So
Speaker 1: so f Mildred and the last Scamboni of the day,
Speaker 1: and then we got to get out of here is eBay.
Speaker 1: Now I love eBay. Shop on eBay is selling eBay.
Speaker 1: I used to love eBay, and I feel like eBay
Speaker 1: is chock full of scamboni's. Like we've talked about several
Speaker 1: of the parties from people, This is a scamboni from eBay,
Speaker 1: and I tweeted at them and the bullshit response I
Speaker 1: got back from them. So let me tell you what
Speaker 1: the scamboni is. So when you when you sell something
Speaker 1: on the on eBay, right, you are you expect to
Speaker 1: give them, Oh, I don't know, thirteen to fifteen percent
Speaker 1: of the total sale pretty much. And and I never
Speaker 1: really looked before because when I sell something, I know
Speaker 1: they take a percentage and I'm like, it is what
Speaker 1: it is. But because I'm selling stuff a year now,
Speaker 1: I have to figure out, hey, we're partners, right, how
Speaker 1: much I have to give Scary of the money I
Speaker 1: just got right. So if I saw something for fifty dollars,
Speaker 1: eBay is going to take fifteen percent, which is like
Speaker 1: seven dollars and fifty cents, I thought, And then that
Speaker 1: leaves like, you know, forty two fifty, I take my cut.
Speaker 1: I sent Scary thirty seven dollars. Ye, So I start
Speaker 1: looking at the at the fees and they take they
Speaker 1: took thirteen and a half percent, not off of the
Speaker 1: thing I sold for scary for fifty two dollars, but
Speaker 1: the fifty two dollars plus the shipping, Oh boy, right
Speaker 1: and the tax. Wait, that's that's disproportionate, right, So they
Speaker 1: took fifteen thirteen percent whatever off of sixty something dollars
Speaker 1: sixty eight dollars. Now when I when when you get
Speaker 1: shipping money? If you've never sold on eBay. That's so
Speaker 1: I could buy a label and ship the item to
Speaker 1: the person, and when this tax is involved, the buyer
Speaker 1: pays the taxes. I don't get that money. The buyer
Speaker 1: pays the taxes. So the buyer paid sixty nine dollars,
Speaker 1: but I'm being charge the percentage of my profit on
Speaker 1: the item I sold, the shipping which I don't make
Speaker 1: any money off of, and the tax I don't. I
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with. Wow, that's a scamboni. So
Speaker 1: I tweeted, Hey, eBay, that's a scam. Here's what ask
Speaker 1: eBay wrote me back. Our goal is to create a simpler,
Speaker 1: more streamline fee structure. Before you had to pay a
Speaker 1: separate payments processing fee to a third party based on
Speaker 1: the total amount of the sale including tax. Now the
Speaker 1: fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale
Speaker 1: inclusive of tax. So you made it easier by charging
Speaker 1: me more money. Oh by, We used to have to
Speaker 1: break it down and not charge you for them. Now
Speaker 1: we just take the money. We just gotta make it
Speaker 1: easier for everybody. It's not easier. You're charging me more money.
Speaker 1: So I wrote back, that's a scamboni, that's a bullshit,
Speaker 1: and they were back, we appreciate your feedback on this,
Speaker 1: and we will be happy to pass along any concerns
Speaker 1: that you may have on fee structure and the way
Speaker 1: that it's processed. And then Tanya wrote her name, Tanya
Speaker 1: is not telling anybody. Tanya is eating that and going
Speaker 1: to bed. Of course, not gonna tell mister eBay Hey,
Speaker 1: mister Ebaydy is upset that you're scamming and you know
Speaker 1: we're still getting her paycheck at the end of the week.
Speaker 1: They are scamming and taking a percentage off the shipping total.
Speaker 1: So I had to ship something heavy, right, the person
Speaker 1: paid twelve dollars to ship it. I printed the label.
Speaker 1: It costs like an eleven ninety six. But I paid
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of the twelve dollars for what and then
Speaker 1: I got thirteen So I look, I didn't take the
Speaker 1: law scare you did on this one. I'm just letting
Speaker 1: you know all your money went to eBay. They fucked you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, I'm mad for you. Good, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to now turn my friend upside down because
Speaker 1: I'm still but hurt from earlier right, and uh, what
