Speaker 1: We've been on vacation. You want to play the Boys
Speaker 1: back into Yes, you got to play that play that
Speaker 1: I like, coiled me. I didn't fail you. I just
Speaker 1: I didn't think that we really needed to have a
Speaker 1: rule about it. Well, we played every time. We're back
Speaker 1: from the people expect it right now. People are going, yes, Scary,
Speaker 1: pay attention. Do they have to hear the Boys are

Speaker 1: The Boys are back in town, though, aren't they? They are?
Speaker 1: But I got news for you. I'm looking through this.
Speaker 1: We don't have it? What is wrong with you? We
Speaker 1: never had it. We never had it for a year,
Speaker 1: we have, we haven't. We haven't played it in a
Speaker 1: year and close to a year. All right, tomorrow you'll
Speaker 1: get it at work, I guess. Oh, is it too difficult.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of heavy lifting of audio. Send it
Speaker 1: to me, send it to you, send it to me.
Speaker 1: Speaking of sending it to you, somehow you lost one
Speaker 1: of my all time favorite phone taps. Wasn't Okay Shaggy?
Speaker 1: We played that today, didn't we? We did, Yeah, on
Speaker 1: the other straight morning show You We're gonna play you
Speaker 1: Killed My Skunk, which is one of my all time
Speaker 1: favorite phone taps that I've done. That was the one
Speaker 1: I wanted. In fact, we reached for that a few
Speaker 1: months ago it to play it, and we we just
Speaker 1: added recently and it was it went over like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I haven't heard that before because we haven't
Speaker 1: played it in a long timetastic it's at the guy.
Speaker 1: The guy that I phone tapped is it should have
Speaker 1: his own TV show. He's that funny. The problem with
Speaker 1: it is it's missing. I went to go reach for
Speaker 1: it today and it's always where it normally is in
Speaker 1: the computer. Yeah, at the computer at work, and it
Speaker 1: was to make it's how you were reaching for it,
Speaker 1: like you keep it on a shelf somewhere. Well, virtual
Speaker 1: reach when you virtually reach for something. It's like you're
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a thing, a virtual reach. I
Speaker 1: think you can look for something. I don't think you
Speaker 1: reach for it. Well, you know you didn't put into
Speaker 1: the monitor. Okay. When people say you reach for the stars,
Speaker 1: do you do you really? Are you really trying to
Speaker 1: reach for the stars. That's a metaphor. That's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, he's like trying really hard. She's trying. There's
Speaker 1: no limit to his talent. He's reaching. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: set a height for himself. He's not gonna put a
Speaker 1: limit on a ceiling. You reach your star. You don't
Speaker 1: reach into the computer for something. About some of those
Speaker 1: mornings where you reach for a joke and Elvis denies it.
Speaker 1: But that's a but that's a rual reach. That's like,
Speaker 1: that's like, um that that's not reaching into a computer.
Speaker 1: When you say somebody's reaching, that means they're stretching. Well,
Speaker 1: are we stretching right now? Are we stretching for time,
Speaker 1: because we are a jam packed with things. We don't
Speaker 1: have a stretch of time. Speaking of which, you called
Speaker 1: me up what's today just to put a lid on
Speaker 1: the Yeah, so this phone tap is missing, and now
Speaker 1: we have to redub it and find it again and
Speaker 1: play the original one right with with no laughter in
Speaker 1: the background because it's not the air version. No comedy left.
Speaker 1: Tuck is great. Well, listen Danielle laughing. Everybody's laugh It
Speaker 1: was freaking hilarious. Honestly, that was one of my It's
Speaker 1: still one of my favorites. Alright, Well, I've done my
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of it. We will figure that out.
Speaker 1: We will find that out. That is another That is
Speaker 1: another task for another day. Because okay, so we're doing
Speaker 1: this now. Today's Thursday. A lot of stuff going on
Speaker 1: in the news yesterday in Washington, so we didn't do
Speaker 1: a podcast. We were like, that's let's not do that.
Speaker 1: We're that's right. We're not really a day late. We're
Speaker 1: a day on time, which is not early this week.
Speaker 1: We're on time on a Thursday, Thursday night. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Monday night, Scary calls me and says, you gotta get
Speaker 1: on the stereo app. It's the new thing. Now you
Speaker 1: have to understand something about Scary. And I think I've
Speaker 1: mentioned this before. Anytime there's a new social media platform,
Speaker 1: Scary calls me or tells me at work. Back in
Speaker 1: the day we used to work together. Hey there's a
Speaker 1: new app. You gotta get on it. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. And it wasn't wrong about Facebook. I
Speaker 1: wasn't wrong about TikTok, but you were wrong about Feed
Speaker 1: and Line. You're definitely wrong about those two. So Feed
Speaker 1: was pH E E D. It was the next big thing. Bro,
Speaker 1: you gonna get your name, gotta register yourself. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a big thing. It's gonna replace everything. It's it
Speaker 1: does everything, But what makes it different? It's just it's no.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. Right in the toilet, the line
Speaker 1: app you into that. Our company was excited about it.
Speaker 1: Line Line Line. What was the jingle used to play?
Speaker 1: Line me right now and I'll line you right back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they had a commercial where would list all
Speaker 1: the things that the line app does, and then the
Speaker 1: outque was line app, does your app do that? Right?
Speaker 1: But then they did another commercial where it didn't list
Speaker 1: any benefits and features. It just had like people talking
Speaker 1: about liking the app, and then they used the tagline
Speaker 1: it says did your apter that? But it didn't didn't
Speaker 1: do anything. They didn't say it did anything, So it
Speaker 1: made no sense. It wasn't clear. And what it really
Speaker 1: amounted to was what's app with Animo g video, you know,
Speaker 1: with anime and Hello Kiddy stuff. It was big in
Speaker 1: Asia and so the company that owned it in Asia
Speaker 1: wanted to make it huge in America. So they paid
Speaker 1: our company a lot of money and we all started
Speaker 1: using it and it was like, oh, this is interesting,
Speaker 1: and then it just kind of let me give you
Speaker 1: one better prod. And this we didn't finish talking about
Speaker 1: on the long line of in the long line of
Speaker 1: failed apps. Yeah, this, this is this is the perfect one.
Speaker 1: Um friends, no the Z zone, so back to back.
Speaker 1: But when my Space to remember my my Space, Well
Speaker 1: everyone here listens remembers my Space, right, So I hope
Speaker 1: the top eight you know, well you I don't think
Speaker 1: I was in your top eight, and you don't think
Speaker 1: I don't think you were in my top eight. I
Speaker 1: think we weren't as type back then, but I thought
Speaker 1: we were. I thought we were well anyway. So, so
Speaker 1: my Space was a thing, and at the local radio
Speaker 1: station Z one hundred, they were like even nationally, all
Speaker 1: of our company wanted all the stations to have started
Speaker 1: York they say Zone. They're like, let's let's compete with
Speaker 1: my Space. Let's take let's let's take our listeners on
Speaker 1: the radio and say hey, everybody, come meet up, check
Speaker 1: out the Zone page, and let's make that a thing
Speaker 1: because we don't want to drive people to my Space.
Speaker 1: The thing that they don't understand in big corporate and
Speaker 1: you know, help me out here, Brodie, is that if
Speaker 1: there's just something that is tremendous, something man, it's something
Speaker 1: that like is like changing the world, revolutionary in the
Speaker 1: app work right, things like Facebook, Instagram, huge monsters like Twitter.
Speaker 1: You're not going to compete with it and hope to
Speaker 1: pull people away from that media. We've got the new
Speaker 1: the new uh, the new app. It's it's it's winter Twitter.
Speaker 1: Plus we have two or three employees and a couple
Speaker 1: of interns working on the z Zone page. Like graphically
Speaker 1: and how and the functionality wise, how great can it
Speaker 1: really get? How how awesome can it really be? It
Speaker 1: it was so basic, it was so I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to how it was our job back then,
Speaker 1: use it, promote it, they will design the page. Don't
Speaker 1: talk graphics, don't talk about my space on the air zone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that was you know, we had a couple of
Speaker 1: hundred people that signed up and it was a thing
Speaker 1: for a moment. So given all the failures, Scary calls me, says,
Speaker 1: you gotta get the stereolap the what the stereoapp? Is
Speaker 1: it a music player? What is it? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's emoji's. Uh, it's avatars of of your
Speaker 1: of you, and you can create your own avatar. It's
Speaker 1: custom made. It is built for the podcast. Bit Mooji's
Speaker 1: what it's called, right, and yeah bitmoji, Yeah, bit mooji.
Speaker 1: It's bit moji esque. It's very cartoonish, right, yeah, you
Speaker 1: build your bit moji ahead of time, saying what was
Speaker 1: what I want? I call it an avatar? What do
Speaker 1: you want it to look like? You wanted to have hair?
Speaker 1: Do you want a fat sheet? So you start asking
Speaker 1: scary questions. He's so excited about it. He doesn't even
Speaker 1: know what it is yet. He's like, I just we
Speaker 1: can do the show and it's got it's it's got
Speaker 1: cartoon versions of us, and we should do it. All
Speaker 1: I knew is it had the functionality of two faces
Speaker 1: on a screen with their lips moving in unison with
Speaker 1: you talking, and it sounds like the Call Her Daddy podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much that was me I got I said it. Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you get on me for that for promoting a million
Speaker 1: dollar podcast and add to their audience. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: what I do. They have the same home sound system
Speaker 1: as you. By the way, that's how rich they are. Well,
Speaker 1: I will say that the stereo app getting back to that, yeah, way, no,
Speaker 1: it's not no, it's not not yet. We're hoping it
Speaker 1: becomes something. So so I signed on it. I'm looking
Speaker 1: and I'm flipping through all the different channels, per se
Speaker 1: and every and people are doing podcasts live. It's a
Speaker 1: live podcast. But the wrinkle in this stereo app is
Speaker 1: you the slice listening right now, can while you're hearing
Speaker 1: us in real time do our podcast live? Hold down
Speaker 1: the button and send us up to a thirty second
Speaker 1: audio voice note, a voicemail question, a comment comment to
Speaker 1: add to the conversation, and then we get notified. While
Speaker 1: we're talking live and we see it popping up with
Speaker 1: these badges. You have two, three, four, or five of them,
Speaker 1: and every time you hit that play button, the next
Speaker 1: one in you will just play out, and then the
Speaker 1: entire list the listener has the experience of hearing the
Speaker 1: the two of us and almost what is almost a
Speaker 1: real time retort and from back to you and we'll
Speaker 1: go back in conversation. Yeah, it actually really completes the
Speaker 1: feedback loop with that. That is the one thing missing
Speaker 1: from podcasting that's recorded the way we know it right now.
Speaker 1: The point my point was you can go check it out,
Speaker 1: go look at the stereo app. My point was scary.
Speaker 1: We'll just do it for a few minutes. Works seventy
Speaker 1: five minutes later, we wrapped it. We got out. We
Speaker 1: had so much fun and so it wasn't a dud.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it. But here's why another reason
Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up. I don't think I'm ready for
Speaker 1: well we said on this thing because a bunch of
Speaker 1: you were listening and heard us and send questions. You
Speaker 1: know who you are. You can go listen to the
Speaker 1: conversation on the stereo app right now. Just look for
Speaker 1: David Brody and Scary Jones, uh and the Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 1: or not you know, just uh, just Thatt David Brody
Speaker 1: and then that's Scary John whatever. Yeah, anyway, so follow us,
Speaker 1: follow yeah, follow us, get on the app, follow us anyway.
Speaker 1: So um, people left questions whatever we said. This will
Speaker 1: be great if we say what time we're gonna do
Speaker 1: it again because we sent out tweets and it lets
Speaker 1: you do instant stories right from the app, and so
Speaker 1: we haven't figured out a time yet that we want
Speaker 1: to do another conversation right because what we want to
Speaker 1: do is we want to invite you listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast right now, but we don't want people to listen
Speaker 1: to this podcast first so they can hear the message.
Speaker 1: And then when we when we get on there, we
Speaker 1: set an appointment we say like oh, Friday at three
Speaker 1: or something, and then you see you'll get an alert
Speaker 1: if you're signed up, you'll get an alert that we're on,
Speaker 1: that we're on, and then we're live, which is great
Speaker 1: because it gives you that that's listening to this right now,
Speaker 1: the opportunity to legit hit us right back, like while
Speaker 1: we're on, like we're talking. If you want to say something. Right,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be our normal rambling, but it won't be
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn Boys podcast per se as much as it
Speaker 1: will be the Brooklyn Boys and then you guys asking
Speaker 1: his questions and talking and interacting and a lot of
Speaker 1: the comments we got the audio comments were just either
Speaker 1: inside jokes on the Brooklyn Boys or not enough, but
Speaker 1: a few you know, slams at scary, which is always great.
Speaker 1: So that works. But I like it as a Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys companion, which is live in real time, so you
Speaker 1: get to actually participate in this. It's almost like having
Speaker 1: a Q and a session of sorts. Right. So, so
Speaker 1: Jeff Ross is a popular comedian and he's jumped on
Speaker 1: this right away. He's like, roasts the King, right, he
Speaker 1: roasts people on Comedy Central. So every night he does, uh,
Speaker 1: he does a podcast live with another comedian and the
Speaker 1: other the night that we were on, he did roast
Speaker 1: the host, which was fantastic because as the host of
Speaker 1: that moment of that podcast, because of the technology involved,
Speaker 1: people were like like literally trying to slam him and
Speaker 1: roast him, and then he was playing them back for
Speaker 1: everybody to hear in real time, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that sucked. That one sucked. I like him well, I
Speaker 1: think he's brilliant. He's one of my favorite comics. I
Speaker 1: just have I told you the story how I've met
Speaker 1: him twice. No, I think I think you and I
Speaker 1: met him briefly at the Friars Club, Yes, right, and
Speaker 1: he was sort of like then I met him, And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell the story again. You probably have heard
Speaker 1: it slices, you've heard it. I'm sure if I told it. Um,
Speaker 1: we were on a party plane. I want to say
Speaker 1: it was in Vegas. I think we've gone to Vegas
Speaker 1: for something. Maybe I read a music festival. Maybe there
Speaker 1: was some reason we were. I was walking out to
Speaker 1: the pool and I'm on Twitter and Jeff Ross had
Speaker 1: tweeted something out that was funny and I and I
Speaker 1: don't again, That's all I'm telling you was how it's happening.
Speaker 1: I tweet him, Hey, something a joke, big fan, really
Speaker 1: loved your recent something whatever it was. As I look
Speaker 1: up from the phone from just tweeting him, there he
Speaker 1: is walking by the pool right at me. I didn't
Speaker 1: know he was at the hotel. He wasn't performing in town.
Speaker 1: There was no reason for him to be there. I
Speaker 1: just tweeted him. So I said, hey, Jeff, hey man,
Speaker 1: what's going on? So I said, hey, listen, my name
Speaker 1: is David Brodie. I'm I'm a comic. I work in
Speaker 1: radio or here for a big thing. Oh cool, cool?
Speaker 1: I said, listen, you're not gonna believe this. Look at
Speaker 1: my Twitter. I just tweeted you and there you are.
Speaker 1: How about that. He's like, oh, that's great. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: hey man, I take care. I mean the r well,
Speaker 1: it's not my idol. I know. I try you and
Speaker 1: I try to be different. If somebody just tweeted me
Speaker 1: as I walked by them, I'd be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. Let me see the tweet, you know. And
Speaker 1: he talked about he failed to see what are the
Speaker 1: odds of that? And it feels like he was right.
Speaker 1: He wasn't getting into a limo. He was shirtless with
Speaker 1: a I was, you know, beer gut and he's just
Speaker 1: walking by the pool with a hat on, and he's like,
Speaker 1: hey man, what's going on. That's great, it's great. Look,
Speaker 1: I know you're on another level. I get it. You know,
Speaker 1: you're up, You're up there, You're the You're the top
Speaker 1: five mixed stand up comics, you know your generation. I
Speaker 1: just would have liked a little like that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where do you work? Are you in radio? So you
Speaker 1: want to pretend to be interested and want to fake it? Faken?
Speaker 1: You're a comic, you fake and act every night. Like
Speaker 1: part of being a comic is reenacting jokes like they're
Speaker 1: the first time you said them. Right, he's a performer.
Speaker 1: He could have like, that's man, it's fantastic. Hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for following me. I really appreciate it. But he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I look, I still like the guy you know, and listen,
Speaker 1: if we can get him on this podcast, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: I would tell him that story too. I'm not afraid
Speaker 1: i'd write up to him. I'm gonna have to through
Speaker 1: the microphone so that the app on Monday. So that
Speaker 1: was an hour and so we will we will be
Speaker 1: uh doing some live Brooklyn Boys companion. So watch Twitter.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be announcing it there. If we do something,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll probably announce it here too. I think
Speaker 1: here's the best place. Well should we should we mention
Speaker 1: it here on this episode? Are we gonna set an
Speaker 1: appointment right now? Or we're gonna. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know because you know, scheduled well, because because by
Speaker 1: the way we once we do this, we have to
Speaker 1: commit to it, and it's a thing, and we're telling
Speaker 1: you all now. I don't want to under promise, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't want us to be like, you know, to
Speaker 1: ghost the audience like that. It's terrible. You want to
Speaker 1: make up you want to make a Monday appointment, Monday
Speaker 1: the eleventh, Let me check my schedule real quick. I
Speaker 1: could do something. Maybe six o'clock. Do you wanna do it?

Speaker 1: the next time that we're on, whether you knew it
Speaker 1: or not, you'll get a notification to your phone saying
Speaker 1: scary Brodie alive and scary a life. So also, just
Speaker 1: so you know, I can't promise anything. Spruce our buddy,
Speaker 1: he is now on the app. He created an avatar
Speaker 1: himself that looks nothing like him, which is typical Spruce,
Speaker 1: but he's he I say. I texted him like, hey,
Speaker 1: people want you to get on this thing, and so
Speaker 1: he actually signed up and created an account, which is
Speaker 1: amazing to me because it's so not him. So or
Speaker 1: hopefully we can get him to at least he can't
Speaker 1: be on the phone, but he can record a greeting
Speaker 1: or record something I can't do. Three people, that's the problem. Alright,
Speaker 1: So six pm the Stereo app. In the meantime, download
Speaker 1: it and uh follow us and then this way you'll
Speaker 1: get the notification to remind yourselves. Yeah, all right, I
Speaker 1: have I have I have a Venmo problem. Can I
Speaker 1: share with you? Okay? You got a Vimo problem. I
Speaker 1: got an easy pass problem. I started barking about it
Speaker 1: on the radio yesterday. No one came to my rescue.
Speaker 1: What's your Venomo problem? Okay, well, it's not so much
Speaker 1: a problem with Venmo. But when somebody wants that you
Speaker 1: haven't interacted with prior and they want to um tell
Speaker 1: you who what their Venmo account is? How do you
Speaker 1: tell them what your Venmo account is? I give it
Speaker 1: out as my email address. Okay, all right, Well, somebody
Speaker 1: this week sent me a screenshot of their QR code, Right,
Speaker 1: you could do that too, and you could scan it
Speaker 1: in uh huh. Let me ask you a question. Scary
Speaker 1: if you text me your QR code, how exactly am
Speaker 1: I scanning it with the phone that the picture of
Speaker 1: the QR code is in? You saved the picture as
Speaker 1: a photo mhm uh, then you open up the app, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you can you can't you bring in a
Speaker 1: picture from your photo library? Nope, But then then you're fucked.
Speaker 1: Then they did it wrong. But you can do it
Speaker 1: on some apps. Well, if you sent it to me
Speaker 1: and I opened it up on my desktop and I
Speaker 1: used my but I if there's a way open it
Speaker 1: up in another opening up on another computer, or open
Speaker 1: it up on your phone, but then open veno right now,
Speaker 1: open the venmo up on your email on your computer,
Speaker 1: and then shoot your phone, hold the camera. Just tell
Speaker 1: me your screen name. Just just tell me a screen name.
Speaker 1: Isn't that easier? If I'm wrong about Venmo. I tried
Speaker 1: tried to figure it out. I'm like, oh, there must
Speaker 1: be a way to people like people like QR codes
Speaker 1: these day, but you can't send me a QR code.
Speaker 1: There's a button it says scan, right. I'm pretty sure though,
Speaker 1: you can. That functionality exists on Snapchat, which is why
Speaker 1: you'll they allow it on. That's why they think that
Speaker 1: they can do. I'm looking on it's a scan code.
Speaker 1: It's opens up a window venmo me. Right, well you
Speaker 1: have to you can print it, you can so you
Speaker 1: can look venmo me. There's a share option, right, you
Speaker 1: can share the venmo. Yeah, but you can't scan the
Speaker 1: venmo and it's scant okay whatever, that's all. I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure I'm not crazy. I mean, I'm crazy,
Speaker 1: but I'm not crazy. Well what happened when you an
Speaker 1: easy pass? I am so upset, Brodie, because this is
Speaker 1: something that could be prevented, and I might have to
Speaker 1: bring in the heavy artillery because want to explain to
Speaker 1: the nation what easy because he pass. Easy pass is
Speaker 1: a fast pass. It's when you're in your car. It's
Speaker 1: a digital it's like a QR code or some kind
Speaker 1: of digital reader that when you go through the toll
Speaker 1: of send Bridge, your tunnel, it gets charged automatically to
Speaker 1: your credit card. It's a super convenient way. It's everywhere,
Speaker 1: but it's different things whatever, but it's the thing that
Speaker 1: you go to the tolls. Everyone has that near them.
Speaker 1: I think. Anyway, so easy past. This is a New York,
Speaker 1: New Jersey go every morning. I go to the Holland
Speaker 1: Tunnel for the last twenty years, right, and that connects
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Jersey to northern New Jersey to the bottom
Speaker 1: of Manhattan. Right. I go to work that way every morning,
Speaker 1: five in the morning. Not a problem. They recently started
Speaker 1: doing construction on the Holland Tunnel, and I guess because
Speaker 1: of the construction, they felt like they wanted to reduce
Speaker 1: the speed limit, so they put up one it's normally
Speaker 1: it's a fifteen. They put one fucking rinky dink sign
Speaker 1: across one of the nine lanes. There's nine lanes going
Speaker 1: into the tunnel. Of course, between booths seven and eight
Speaker 1: they put this five mile an hour sign, okay, and
Speaker 1: nowhere else to be found, So you drive through and
Speaker 1: and and I didn't realize it, but I'm going through
Speaker 1: my regular Scary Jones speed for twenty years. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not trying to race to work in
Speaker 1: the morning. I'm not trying to rush to get there.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to my pace. What do you mean
Speaker 1: you're going through a twenty You just established the speed
Speaker 1: limits fifteen. Yeah, but they give you a ten mile
Speaker 1: wiggle room. You go, no, no no, they give you. My
Speaker 1: point is, if it's if it's a fifteen mile and
Speaker 1: hour speed limit and I'm going through a fifteen to
Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour every morning, I'm good. It doesn't
Speaker 1: you just go through the fifteen to twenty And by
Speaker 1: the way, for twenty years, I never had a problem
Speaker 1: with that. Well, the second that they put the sign
Speaker 1: up that says five miles an hour at fifteen miles hour,
Speaker 1: now I am more than ten miles over. So your
Speaker 1: dukes hasn't here's the problem. They don't fucking email me
Speaker 1: and say hey, this morning, you went through a two
Speaker 1: miles an hour. They didn't do that. You know what
Speaker 1: they did Alreadie, they waited because they're such an archaic
Speaker 1: company that lives in the past that all they do
Speaker 1: is send out a regular snail mail by the time
Speaker 1: and white photos. By the time that I found out
Speaker 1: that I had gone through at ten fifteen miles an
Speaker 1: hour over the limit, because one at one afternoon, a
Speaker 1: giant red envelope was in my mailbox that said easy
Speaker 1: past violation in a week and a half had passed
Speaker 1: since that initial in fraction a week and a half
Speaker 1: had easy past had. Yeah, so I'm like, Okay, tomorrow morning,
Speaker 1: I'm going to adjust my speed. But I'm like, I wonder, though,
Speaker 1: am I going to keep getting violations every day from
Speaker 1: the past six seven work days that I was there?
Speaker 1: Because when I sent it out, you weren't done speed.
Speaker 1: I was going through, but I was still on the
Speaker 1: twenty year plan of going you know that same I
Speaker 1: don't even think when I'm i'm driving, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just driving and I'm listening to the radio. So
Speaker 1: I made the next morning, I made the adjustment in
Speaker 1: my driving. But sure enough For the next seven day straight,
Speaker 1: they fucking hit my mailbox with the red easy Past
Speaker 1: violation Elope and it's like this is a warning. They said,
Speaker 1: this is a warning, and the next time you may
Speaker 1: be suspended. And six of those later. By the seventh one,
Speaker 1: they just hit me for a sixty days suspension of
Speaker 1: my entire easy Oh no, and did they find you?
Speaker 1: They didn't find me. They just said sixty days. And
Speaker 1: so that's that's two months of going to the the
Speaker 1: the unprepared lanes where left to take. Yes, that's the
Speaker 1: punishment you must you're in time out. There's only one
Speaker 1: lane sometimes for that. Oh you're screwed right. Well, here's
Speaker 1: a little sidebar to the story. The Holland Tunnel went
Speaker 1: cash less. So if you are not an easy pass holder,
Speaker 1: you know they got rid of the one lane. If
Speaker 1: you're not, no, no, no no, But if you're not an
Speaker 1: easy pants holder, they just mail you a bill. So
Speaker 1: now I'm waiting for every day then to hit me
Speaker 1: with a bill, hit me with a bill in my
Speaker 1: in my mail, and I have to pay off these
Speaker 1: fucking tolls one at a time. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they probably set a flaw. You're a scoff law. You're lucky,
Speaker 1: don't take your license away. What's the scoff law? Someone
Speaker 1: who breaks the law and skips it? Well, anyway, So,
Speaker 1: so is it really gonna change my behavior? I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Is it gonna change the course of my day? No?
Speaker 1: Because I still get to roll through because of But
Speaker 1: anytime I go on the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden
Speaker 1: State Parkway, I gotta stop at that fucking basket and
Speaker 1: put fucking money in there, or I gotta stop at
Speaker 1: a toll taker and get the ticket, and then for
Speaker 1: the turnpike. There are other there are other roads that
Speaker 1: are not most of them are not cash less fully,
Speaker 1: and if you see it, um a crossing with a
Speaker 1: cash lane, you're forced to go into it otherwise you
Speaker 1: get So I'm gonna read the definition. Let me see
Speaker 1: if I'll push the button here. Hold on, Well, that's
Speaker 1: how you pronounce it, uh. Scoff law is a person
Speaker 1: who flouts the law you did, especially by failing to
Speaker 1: comply with the law you did that is difficult to
Speaker 1: enforce and effectively. Scoff Laws are people who have accumulated
Speaker 1: large debts in unpaid parking tickets. For example, you are
Speaker 1: a scoff law, right well? And I can't believe you
Speaker 1: didn't know what a scoff law was one I've seen
Speaker 1: the word. Okay, great, I'm a scoff law. Why what
Speaker 1: they call it in Brooklyn? What your criminals? Would you want?
Speaker 1: So my question to you is what would Brody do?
Speaker 1: Or w w b D which also sounds like porn
Speaker 1: category on porn w w b D. So what would
Speaker 1: Brody do? I mean, I obviously you're gonna start your
Speaker 1: letter writing campaign and that that's because oh you can.
Speaker 1: I call it customer service and they're like, sorry, the
Speaker 1: only way to get in touch with us is to
Speaker 1: is to send an email, and not an email a
Speaker 1: snail mail. You gotta write to us and send it
Speaker 1: to the post office and maybe fax him. And I
Speaker 1: don't think I can fax him. I don't. I told
Speaker 1: you about a hundred episodes ago about my fight with
Speaker 1: easy Pass. Did you were the only option to return
Speaker 1: an old tag is lost or stolen and they charge
Speaker 1: you for it. You can't just send back a tag
Speaker 1: and say, oh, I don't need this tag anymore. Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: We're gonna charge you. And then you have to trust
Speaker 1: them that Eventually they're gonna refund your money when they
Speaker 1: realize you didn't lose it. They're terrible, but you they
Speaker 1: have an office. Scary, there there is a Port Authority
Speaker 1: easy pass office. You can just go there. I think
Speaker 1: it's by the I don't want to bore people from
Speaker 1: out of the country, out of the country, out of
Speaker 1: the state, but I think it's by the throgs Neck
Speaker 1: or the White Stone. There's an office. Can't wait, Well,
Speaker 1: there's one in Jersey somewhere else, So don't tweet me scary.
Speaker 1: I'll google it. But you just go there and just
Speaker 1: you know, hey, fuck and tell what the deal. I
Speaker 1: just think it sucks, man, because we're put in these
Speaker 1: positions every day where a friend at the Port Authority
Speaker 1: they trade tower posters. Doesn't that guy's wife work for No? No,
Speaker 1: they they believe me. We've spoken. They can't do. Oh.
Speaker 1: You tried to call the guys, of course called. Everybody's
Speaker 1: got a guy just sun just alright, Well, you shouldn't speed,
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be speeding. Wasn't it wasn't. The thing is
Speaker 1: I was doing my normal even if I even if
Speaker 1: I was going the speed limit of fifteen, it still
Speaker 1: would have been over the limit of five. Why the
Speaker 1: hell do they put one tiny sign across nine lanes?
Speaker 1: Is beyond me? I'll take a picture. No, but I
Speaker 1: should do that tomorrow morning, pure and arrested for using
Speaker 1: my phone in the car while driving. All right, so
Speaker 1: you can't wait. You can't wait the picture at the
Speaker 1: light before the tall boots. It's a light there. There
Speaker 1: is just hope you get a red light, or you
Speaker 1: gotta sit there at the green light and have people
Speaker 1: beat at you. So when I mentioned it on the
Speaker 1: air yesterday, just briefly for ten seconds, people started texting
Speaker 1: in that they had similar issues and just a really
Speaker 1: really really shitty bureaucracy of you know, of a company.
Speaker 1: How do companies exist in this day and age without
Speaker 1: having things electronic and quick and to the moment. That's
Speaker 1: the the irony of it is easy is an electronic,
Speaker 1: easy and quick way to pay, so everything else is antiquated.
Speaker 1: The website for easy Pass is like something from It's
Speaker 1: like cop you serve ship it is it is the
Speaker 1: is a clunky block form. Uh. If you if you
Speaker 1: want to find something, you can't. If you want to
Speaker 1: if you want to go, oh, I want to look
Speaker 1: at my tags. You gotta go through a twelve step
Speaker 1: process and then uh, it's just awful. It's the purple
Speaker 1: and gray and white. It's just it's the worst. It
Speaker 1: looks like it looks like a stuff above crepate craig
Speaker 1: list because it has a header that's about it, and
Speaker 1: to have a purple motif. Somebody figured out how to
Speaker 1: get the color purple on the screen. Purple. It's disgusting.
Speaker 1: So so F you f f you easy. But they
Speaker 1: made that site when the Internet was created, Yes, when
Speaker 1: the Internet was invented, that's when they That's when that
Speaker 1: ship came. The fact that you have to mail them
Speaker 1: like actual mail tells you all you need to know.
Speaker 1: You know why they want you to go slowly scary
Speaker 1: because it's too fast for them. It's too fast, slow down,
Speaker 1: all right, there's nothing easy about easy Pass. The name
Speaker 1: itself is a Misnow, Hey, how was your How was
Speaker 1: your holiday? By the way, way, this is the first
Speaker 1: episode back. We should a little bit about just just
Speaker 1: a brief overview. I think, well, we did a podcast
Speaker 1: after Hanukah, So if you're talking about my my how
Speaker 1: is your break? How was? I'll tell you about I'll
Speaker 1: tell about my Christmas. Let me tell about my Christmas.
Speaker 1: You know that the Jewish Christmas is Chinese food in
Speaker 1: the movie Always. So I went in for the first
Speaker 1: time since more Arch. I drove into Manhattan. So that
Speaker 1: you're looking at nine months, nine and a half months,
Speaker 1: did you go to pass? I did at like thirty boom,
Speaker 1: about a week and a half. Finally my car is
Speaker 1: a blur. They came track made so fast, so we
Speaker 1: I went into I went into Wahap, which is the
Speaker 1: legend of Chinatown. Waited on so you you what you
Speaker 1: do as you order on the app and then they
Speaker 1: call you and confirm it and they say one hour okay,
Speaker 1: one hour great. So I get there at about the
Speaker 1: forty eight minute mark. No traffic right now in New
Speaker 1: York is great, and I saw in my head scary.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, you know Manhattan is you know, it's
Speaker 1: COVID shut down here and there. You can't eat in restaurants,
Speaker 1: it's all take out. And because it's Christmas, all the
Speaker 1: parking meters and alternate side street parking rules not in effect.
Speaker 1: You can park anywhere usually in China, and you can't
Speaker 1: find a spot. So I'm like, this is great. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to Chinatown. I'm gonna pull right up, get
Speaker 1: the food, get out of there. Oh no, do you
Speaker 1: know what's blocking all of the parking spaces. I know, Brodie,
Speaker 1: because I go into the city every day. It's outdoor,
Speaker 1: outdoor dining. Yeah. They built their tables in three sided
Speaker 1: tents up and down all the streets of Chinatown. In
Speaker 1: the street where normally cars will be parallel park right
Speaker 1: so the sidewalks are clear. Imagine like there was a
Speaker 1: car there, you'd be eating dinner in the car. That's
Speaker 1: what it's like. You step off the curb and you're
Speaker 1: right there on the table. I meant friendly, I get it.
Speaker 1: Some of them had heaters set up for you. It
Speaker 1: was wonderful. But they've taken up each street parking. So
Speaker 1: it took me twenty minutes to get a spot. Because
Speaker 1: I'm good at it. I would have taken me much
Speaker 1: longer if I wasn't a pro. I parked about two
Speaker 1: blocks away and then I so everyone outside. The guy
Speaker 1: comes upstairs and he goes phone number, So you gotta
Speaker 1: give me a phone number, and then he runs back
Speaker 1: down the staircase. As for phone number for mama, what
Speaker 1: I said, phone number? No, I did not, I said
Speaker 1: phone number. Don't all right, he was barking at everybody.
Speaker 1: He was very right because he was, you know, it
Speaker 1: was overwhelmed for Christmas. It was all my people, tribe
Speaker 1: hashtag tribe. So he's coming up. So he's yelling at like,
Speaker 1: you know, three two or seven nine. So so of
Speaker 1: course what happens, Oh that's me. Everybody goes, well, the
Speaker 1: house mine waiting for an hour and a half. It's calming,
Speaker 1: it's coming. So every time he yelled the number by
Speaker 1: like just from the time I was there. After a
Speaker 1: while he was yelling, but like you could see he
Speaker 1: was flinching because every time he yelled the number, one
Speaker 1: out of thirty people was happy. So I waited another
Speaker 1: hour for my food. That's how bad it was, Right,
Speaker 1: did you get your fix when you got the food?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Hold on? So I ordered, you know, I
Speaker 1: want to jump to the part, so I bring home
Speaker 1: you know you know what I ordered? Yeah? What I ordered? Uh,
Speaker 1: look close porkolo maino vet stables roast. So they have
Speaker 1: a thing called four D four D lomaine. It is
Speaker 1: not just it's like how special. It's shrimp, chicken, roast,
Speaker 1: pork and beef. There's a brown gravy on top. It's
Speaker 1: to die for. And I got one ton egg drop
Speaker 1: soup and all kinds of food for the rest of
Speaker 1: the family. Four D four D. Yeah, I tried to No,
Speaker 1: that's four D is what they what they do to it.
Speaker 1: They throw four ds in it when you complain about
Speaker 1: it not getting your order. Wow, that's a stretch. Okay,
Speaker 1: go back to stretching. Yeah, so I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: check the food because it says giant bag. I gotta
Speaker 1: walk two and a half blocks to the car. I
Speaker 1: go home, I unpack everything. My four D Lomaine has
Speaker 1: a thick layer of vegetables on top in this sauce,
Speaker 1: and my wanton egg drops soup mixed no greens is
Speaker 1: now just want soup. I didn't get the mixed. I
Speaker 1: gotta have the egg drop soup come on. So there's
Speaker 1: a couple of mistakes. But you can't call them, no phone,
Speaker 1: only ordering online, So you're screwed. There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 1: So I took the vegetables out right and I picked
Speaker 1: them all out. I didn't get upset because it was
Speaker 1: Christmas and we had. We had a great meal. The
Speaker 1: food is fantastic. But that's not the problem. The problem
Speaker 1: is the movie that we watched. Now, it was I
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil the movie, so I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you the name of the movie. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna tell you that it came out on Christmas Day, Okay,
Speaker 1: And even what I'm gonna tell you isn't going to
Speaker 1: spoil the film. But trust me, there's a major problem
Speaker 1: with the film. And first of all, the movie was terrible.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you're gonna tell everybody in the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys companion of this episode that we did. I mention
Speaker 1: it on stereo. God, yeah, you did. Was talk about it,
Speaker 1: but I didn't say what the what what I was
Speaker 1: gonna ask? You know, so you might as well just reveal. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. We gotta we gotta bring up.
Speaker 1: We gotta bring our first commercial break in here, and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna I'm gonna say the movie in five seconds.
Speaker 1: So if you want, you can skip ahead five seconds
Speaker 1: and then the commercials will listen to the commercials. You
Speaker 1: can skip ahead. I'm gonna go I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: a five three to one and I'm gonna say the
Speaker 1: name of the movie and then we'll go to commercial.
Speaker 1: When I come back, I won't say the name of
Speaker 1: the movie at it, all right, So five four three
Speaker 1: two one one, we'll be right back. Okay. So this
Speaker 1: movie I saw, which most of you now know the movie.
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna say, what did that accomplish? People know
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't know if they know what
Speaker 1: it is. I hope they if they didn't want to know,
Speaker 1: But listen, I don't need to tune out. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to ruin the movie, I promise, But there's something
Speaker 1: in the movie that I'm gonna point out that when
Speaker 1: you go see it, you'll be cognizant of it, and
Speaker 1: I want your opinion. And if you've seen it, I
Speaker 1: want your opinion. Scary you haven't seen it, so I
Speaker 1: want your opinion. Okay, in the movie, the everybody in
Speaker 1: the movie, for whatever reason, gets a wish. Okay, the
Speaker 1: movie is horrifically bad. I'm saving you the trouble. Oh dude,
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying what movie it was. You said it earlier.
Speaker 1: People know all the people that skipped was really really hot. Okay,
Speaker 1: stop stop, Okay, So now that you've ruined it. So
Speaker 1: everyone in the movie gets a wish. It's moronic. But
Speaker 1: wonder Woman's wish is for horror. See I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm saying it now. I made people skip. You just said,
Speaker 1: you just said, you said the woman's name who stars
Speaker 1: in the movie. Okay, So what's wish? Okay? So she
Speaker 1: wishes this. She wishes to get her boyfriend back, who
Speaker 1: died in World War One seventy years earlier. Right, she
Speaker 1: knew him for a couple of weeks, a month, whatever
Speaker 1: it was, and it's a long lost love. She's hot
Speaker 1: as a pistol wonder Woman in real life, but in
Speaker 1: the movie, and she hasn't fell for anybody in seventy years.
Speaker 1: What a waste exactly. So now every wish in the
Speaker 1: movie comes true. Every wish, no matter how insane it is,
Speaker 1: comes true exactly the way they wished for it. Some reason,
Speaker 1: hard wish doesn't come true exactly the way she wishes
Speaker 1: for it. She wants her her boyfriend, Steve Trevor, to
Speaker 1: come back to life, but she waiting seventy years for
Speaker 1: can't you just make a disappointment and moving? Right, So
Speaker 1: this is what her wishes so rather than Chris Pine,
Speaker 1: who plays Steve Trevor, he doesn't come back as Chris Pine.
Speaker 1: He comes back in the body of some other dude
Speaker 1: named Mike, right, So Mike again, I'm really sorry people,
Speaker 1: it's it's a great point. Though no, it's not. Though
Speaker 1: it's not, it's a small part of the movie. It
Speaker 1: really is. Mike comes up to her at a party
Speaker 1: and says something to her that she would remember Steve
Speaker 1: saying seventy years earlier. Okay, She's like, what He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm Steve, and she immediately believes him because of how
Speaker 1: what he said and how he said it, even though
Speaker 1: she sees Mike. Right then there's like a camera trick
Speaker 1: and a mirror and you you then see Chris Pine.
Speaker 1: We see crisp Pine for the rest of the movie,
Speaker 1: even though we are now told it's Mike. It's Mike's body.
Speaker 1: Chris Pine is in Mike's body, Okay, but it's chris
Speaker 1: Pine's brain. They have some COVID production problems where they
Speaker 1: had to like retrofit the script because there's no reason.
Speaker 1: There was no reason that they just didn't bring Chris
Speaker 1: Pine backs. Chris Pine, no reason. It's the most moronic thing.
Speaker 1: That's not my problem. So once she accepts him, I
Speaker 1: guess they went through his wallet because they go back
Speaker 1: to his apartment. Oh, I'm sorry. No, Mike. Chris Pine
Speaker 1: as Mike woke up in Mike's apartment, so he knows
Speaker 1: where he lives. They go back to Mike's apartment. You,
Speaker 1: you are once again reminded, it's Mike. It's Mike's body, right,
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Throughout the home movie Wonder Woman doesn't care
Speaker 1: where Mike is. Mike is now in in suspended animation.
Speaker 1: His body is there, but his mind isn't. It's somewhere right,
Speaker 1: you've basically temporarily killed Mike. Um and if if for
Speaker 1: some reason in the movie. I'm not telling you what
Speaker 1: happens in the movie. But let's say Steve Trevor wants
Speaker 1: to stay as Mike. Then Mike's dead. Mike's gone. So
Speaker 1: they make no reference to Mike having a girlfriend, a family,
Speaker 1: a job, nothing. So what's the takeaway here? Here's where
Speaker 1: I need your help. So it's her long lost love
Speaker 1: after seventy years, right, yeah, what do they do? They
Speaker 1: immediately jump into bed and have sex. Okay, it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be very romantic. The love of her life is back.
Speaker 1: They have sex times, right, Okay, she's having sex with
Speaker 1: Mike's body and Mike is unconscious. He's not there. That's wrong, right, right,
Speaker 1: She's she's she's she's having sex mentally with Chris, with Trevor,
Speaker 1: with Steve Trevor. But it's Mike's body, and everyone in
Speaker 1: the movie everyone's like, you know, on Twitter is like, oh,
Speaker 1: how romantic she got to get back? No, no, no no,
Speaker 1: she basically had non consensual sex with Mike. Think about it.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it now. I had a debate someone.
Speaker 1: I had a debate. What said, it's it's it's not
Speaker 1: your body, it's your soul, And she had sex with
Speaker 1: the soul of Steve Trevor. And I said, but what
Speaker 1: if Mike got a venereal disease, got her piece from
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman, or got wonder Woman pregnant. He wakes up,
Speaker 1: he's got a kid coming up, he doesn't remember having
Speaker 1: sex with her. How does wonder Woman, who pretends to
Speaker 1: be the holiest, most truthful human being on the planet,
Speaker 1: have non consensual sex with Mike. There was no point
Speaker 1: in the movie that the writer and directors of the movie,
Speaker 1: there was no point to having him come back in
Speaker 1: Mike's body. Well, obviously, this is why it's the box.
Speaker 1: You justify it, and nobody can you justify having Okay,
Speaker 1: let me ask so. So, okay, So I had a
Speaker 1: debate with somebody, right, and I said, and that they're
Speaker 1: they're arguing with me that you're not having sex with Mike,
Speaker 1: you're having sex with with Steve. And even though it's
Speaker 1: Mike's body, it's steve soul you're having sex with. And
Speaker 1: I go, well, what if Steve was what if Mike
Speaker 1: was gay and didn't ever want to be with a woman.
Speaker 1: What if Mike was saving himself a marriage? Right? His
Speaker 1: body is not a virgin. So then I said, okay,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this because a lot of people now, look,
Speaker 1: nobody got upset when Tom Hanks was in Big right
Speaker 1: and he became an adult. Right, he had sex with
Speaker 1: a woman spoiler, and he was a little boy. So
Speaker 1: technically she had sex with a little boy in a
Speaker 1: man's body. But it wasn't someone else's body, it was
Speaker 1: his body. Part of part of the play on on
Speaker 1: the well, part of anything in watching a movie which
Speaker 1: is fiction is the suspension of disbelief, the suspension of
Speaker 1: the going that you know you want me to suspend
Speaker 1: this belief, then I'll tell you. Okay, the woman can
Speaker 1: fly for no reason. Yeah. But but but she date
Speaker 1: raped a guy. I don't think it's I don't think
Speaker 1: it was apparent because I think what ends up happening
Speaker 1: is people like you who over analyze ship and there
Speaker 1: are a lot of you out there. Go on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Go on Twitter and and see how many people are
Speaker 1: upset that she had sex with Mike. A lot of
Speaker 1: people noticed it. If you think, okay, think about it
Speaker 1: this way. Scary. What if it was a guy, right,
Speaker 1: and his dead girlfriend came back in the body of
Speaker 1: some woman on the street and he took her home
Speaker 1: and had sex with the body. Okay, that's yeah, because
Speaker 1: that's real life. And he's really dragging a body into it.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, say, drag a body. I'm saying he
Speaker 1: meets her on the street. He right, and it's his
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend in the body. Right, So it's it's the
Speaker 1: body of some woman, but his ex girlfriend is now
Speaker 1: in that body. He's like, hey, oh my god, Maria,
Speaker 1: I've missed you so much. Right now, Season Heather's body.
Speaker 1: You take Heather back to the apartment, but it's Maria.
Speaker 1: Maria's like, hey, let's have sex. You have sex with
Speaker 1: Heather's body. You don't think Heather is gonna be piste
Speaker 1: and sue you. Yeah, yeah, this is this is way
Speaker 1: too deep man, It's not well, that's what he said.
Speaker 1: You're talking about a woman who puts your two fucking
Speaker 1: index fingers together and then magic ship happens. I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand this isn't exactly right from the start. There's
Speaker 1: nothing right about this. And and to me, you know,
Speaker 1: you get what you pay for, and you this is
Speaker 1: what you're listen. They're they're all this a box office
Speaker 1: written screenplay that they turn, you know, someone spent money on,
Speaker 1: and they're hoping that it doesn't know they're not They're
Speaker 1: not being all cerebral. This isn't a film for deep thought.
Speaker 1: The movie is so bad that you notice this, that's
Speaker 1: how bad it is. And then I'm not going to
Speaker 1: tell you anything about I look, I know you're gonna
Speaker 1: get mad at me. I'm not gonna tell what happens
Speaker 1: in the movie, I promise, But something happens at the
Speaker 1: end of the movie that makes this whole thing I
Speaker 1: just told you even worse, even worse, alright, so I
Speaker 1: think I would. I would go so far as to
Speaker 1: say that not many people listening to this even gave
Speaker 1: gave it much thought at all, if they even saw
Speaker 1: it to begin with. I mean, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: one more analogy because I used it on my family
Speaker 1: and they got mad at me. Okay, if if some
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say, my family, let's say, scary, you're
Speaker 1: your your your Who did your brother or sister have
Speaker 1: have Did your brother have a daughter? My brother has
Speaker 1: a son? Okay, you have a friend who was a daughter?
Speaker 1: You no, not me, not me? So let's say let's say,
Speaker 1: let's say, uh, Fred, we have a guy named Fred. Right,
Speaker 1: Fred's got a teenage daughter. Okay, Scotty Be is a
Speaker 1: teenage daughter. Teenage daughter. Let's say Scotty Be his wife
Speaker 1: passes away, and then I don't know, eight years later,
Speaker 1: when his daughter is nineteen years old, his wife comes back,
Speaker 1: her spirit comes back into the daughter's body who's nineteen.
Speaker 1: Under the theory that it's just the soul, could he
Speaker 1: then have sex with his daughter's body but it's his wife?
Speaker 1: I think that's disgusting. Okay, that's my point. The body matters,
Speaker 1: right fight. So look, I'm not saying Mike's not gonna
Speaker 1: wake up and go, holy crap, I had sex with
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman. But don't you think he would like to
Speaker 1: have been asked first? He lost like three or four
Speaker 1: days of his life, maybe more. I'm not telling you
Speaker 1: how it ends. We lost his life. What if he
Speaker 1: got fired from one? All right, I'm just that's all.
Speaker 1: I know. It works both ways with non con sexual sex.
Speaker 1: But if you know, a lot of guys will just
Speaker 1: be like, this is cool. A lot of guys would
Speaker 1: not be. Some guys might not be. But I'm just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that was How would how would your girlfriend
Speaker 1: Robin feel if she found out that your body had
Speaker 1: sex with wonder Woman and you were unconscious and then
Speaker 1: you woke up and you're like, oh, and there were
Speaker 1: pictures of it. She's like, you had sex with wonder
Speaker 1: Like I I didn't have sex with wonder Woman. Some
Speaker 1: guy wasn't having my body. You think she looked at
Speaker 1: the pictures of you, your body having sex with another
Speaker 1: woman and be like, oh, your my wasn't. Dad's fine? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you have to excuse it. Really okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let me turn it around. Let's say you saw pictures
Speaker 1: of some ugly, out of shape, sweaty pig of a
Speaker 1: man having sex with Robin. But then Robin was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I was inhabited by the soul of his wife. Uh
Speaker 1: so what do you do? Yeah, you'll be fine with it.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh, I don't, I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: this is this is why See to me, I don't
Speaker 1: live in a world where things are impossible like this is.
Speaker 1: These are physical impossibilities. So the things that you're talking
Speaker 1: about don't make sense to me because I live here
Speaker 1: on Earth and I live a really I live a
Speaker 1: reality every day and I'm not but I can't around.
Speaker 1: I'm not wrapping my head around it, Brody, because because
Speaker 1: it's it's not true, it's not gonna be it won't.
Speaker 1: It physically can't happen, So you don't you have you
Speaker 1: ever seen a superhero film? Have you seen Superman? But
Speaker 1: that's why I hate them, Okay, because you can't fathom
Speaker 1: because to me, a superhero flick is is act in
Speaker 1: is craziness, is actually just escaping. It's an escapism mechanism.
Speaker 1: If I really we want to get on this level,
Speaker 1: then yeah, then it's escape. But it's not reality to me.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm watching something. I'm watching for entertainment purposes.
Speaker 1: Stand I'm not gonna tell what happens in the movie. Okay,
Speaker 1: but let's say there's a guy who lived in the
Speaker 1: nineteen tens. Right, he's around. He's around when let's say
Speaker 1: radio was first invented, whatever year that was, right, Right,
Speaker 1: He worked at a radio station in whenever radio was invented. Right,
Speaker 1: he dies, he comes back to life in Okay, he
Speaker 1: walks into our radio station, sees all the equipment, and goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm a radio guy, and just uses all the equipment.
Speaker 1: Would you believe that? No? Right, multiply that times a thousand,
Speaker 1: and that's what happened in the movie something like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: But at the same time, head around that get you
Speaker 1: sign up for that's exactly. So then why are you complaining? Brodie?
Speaker 1: I wasted because the movie is like seven hours long.
Speaker 1: It's just the worst A stop button. As soon as
Speaker 1: it gets gets me. I'm watching it with four other people.
Speaker 1: We're all sitting there going gets weird. You get up
Speaker 1: and you go into your basement. What do you want
Speaker 1: me to tell you? I don't want to go into
Speaker 1: my basement. What do I want to? Just get out
Speaker 1: of there? Just get out of the say I don't
Speaker 1: want to watch this bullshit. This is stupid. And by
Speaker 1: the way, that's the end of that. Let's move on.
Speaker 1: It's been twenty minutes. You asked a lot of questions. Fault.
Speaker 1: I did not ask you one. I All I said
Speaker 1: was how was your fucking New Year's And you talked
Speaker 1: about your Chinese food? And now twenty minutes about this film,
Speaker 1: which I don't give a funk about because to me,
Speaker 1: it's a suspension of disbelief. I go in and I
Speaker 1: get what I expect. I expect entertainment and visuals, and
Speaker 1: I know that things are gonna happen there that are
Speaker 1: physically impossible. Okay. So if you're watching an Avengers film, right,
Speaker 1: we're watching Avengers, Yes, you're watching Avengers, just spend disbelief. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: And the thing that happens could is fine. Okay. And
Speaker 1: you know Thor right right, the movie is laden with
Speaker 1: things that can't happen in real life. If Thor Chris
Speaker 1: Hemsworth out of nowhere, picks up a dog and eats it.
Speaker 1: A live dog starts eating it. Are you gonna say, well,
Speaker 1: he's a god of thunder, so he's powerful enough to
Speaker 1: eat the dogs on fine? Yes, because I know him.
Speaker 1: Been watching an Avenger's film. If it happened in real life,
Speaker 1: down but it makes sense, it makes no sense. It
Speaker 1: would make no sense in the context of the movie
Speaker 1: that the authority eat a dog. You have to go
Speaker 1: why would eat a dog? Doesn't make any sense? Question
Speaker 1: it not my world, man. I like that. I like biopics.
Speaker 1: I like documentaries. I like comedies. Movie you saw. I
Speaker 1: watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix because it's set in
Speaker 1: reality and it's giving me information. I listen. But but
Speaker 1: when when I go for a comedy, if I'm watching comedy,
Speaker 1: I expect I don't. I don't question anything in the
Speaker 1: film because it ruins it for me. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: here to be entertained at this point, I don't care
Speaker 1: what happens. Suspension of disbelief. Guys, look it up, everyone,
Speaker 1: look it up. It's it's a thing, and it's a
Speaker 1: it's a it's a method which works in Hollywood for
Speaker 1: it's the golden age of of of your suspension and
Speaker 1: disbelief means, if you're watching Star Wars, then you believe
Speaker 1: that there's a thing called the force, right, yeah, use
Speaker 1: it right, that people can levitate. That's how you suspend disbelief. Okay,
Speaker 1: but if but if Luke Skywalker suddenly pulls out a
Speaker 1: rules cube, hold on, he pulls out a Rubik's cube,
Speaker 1: but he solves it in two seconds, You're like, what
Speaker 1: the helly does not a Rubic's cube is? What does
Speaker 1: that mean? That's not right. It has to be within
Speaker 1: the in the scope of what you're believing. What in
Speaker 1: the world they create. It has to make sense. There's
Speaker 1: no dogs in Star Wars, So if all of a
Speaker 1: sudden there's a dog, there's a poodle, You're like, what
Speaker 1: does a poodal doing there? That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: You would say, it doesn't make you go, I'm going
Speaker 1: to suspend this beliefs anything's possible, know, anything is not
Speaker 1: possible in Star Wars. The writers and directors got Wonder
Speaker 1: Woman wrong. It's a ship film, terrible, it's awful, and
Speaker 1: I feel for my but you know what, there are
Speaker 1: clunkers in life and then their box office, smashes and
Speaker 1: sent So, so what do you see smashed with Mike?
Speaker 1: That's great, she smashed with my great have a party.
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not continue to move We can move on.
Speaker 1: Now we go, Now, we can move on. I wanted
Speaker 1: to move on twenty minutes ago. Oh come on, come on, look,
Speaker 1: I got I got a Scamboni. Would like hear Scamboni.
Speaker 1: I would love something other than this type of fine,
Speaker 1: all right, give me a Scamboni music. Good God, what
Speaker 1: you find out? Okay? So I have fire sticks Amazon
Speaker 1: fire sticks on all of the television sets in my house. Okay,
Speaker 1: So if you don't know where firestick is, it's a
Speaker 1: little um it's like a flash drive and you plug
Speaker 1: it into your hd m I input on your TV
Speaker 1: and you can watch a lot like all the streaming channels.
Speaker 1: If your TV doesn't have built in streaming. Some of
Speaker 1: my TVs have built in you know, smart apps whatever
Speaker 1: smart TVs, and some don't. So when Amazon does the
Speaker 1: big sales, right, what do they call the Amazon Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime Day? Right? And for the holidays, the firestick is
Speaker 1: sometimes it's forty nine dollars. It goes on sale with
Speaker 1: thirty nine goes to the sale. So it was on sale,
Speaker 1: the good one with the volume control and without divine control.
Speaker 1: So I needed one more. My daughter's room didn't have
Speaker 1: a firestick, and I told her i'd get her one
Speaker 1: for for the holidays. So I got her one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I know thereend on whether or you wanted to
Speaker 1: divine control on the firestick. The one in um in
Speaker 1: our one of our guest bedrooms that I sometimes sit
Speaker 1: in and watch TV when I want to get away
Speaker 1: from the movie on in the other room. It's a
Speaker 1: little older. It's not a four K firestick. So I'm
Speaker 1: in there watching I don't know, YouTube, Netflix, whatever I'm on,
Speaker 1: and I get a pop up that says, congratulations, you're
Speaker 1: eligible for an upgrade. Oh, I'm eligible. So I'm eligible
Speaker 1: for an upgrades. So I have this old fire stick.
Speaker 1: It's like second generation, I think up the fourth generation,
Speaker 1: and the one the one in that room is like
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of memory. It's almost filled with apps. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm eligible for an upgrade. That's fantastic. Now, if someone
Speaker 1: tells you're eligible, what do you think? Scary? That means
Speaker 1: I can get it if I act. Now I'm eligible,
Speaker 1: So I click on it, and it takes me to
Speaker 1: a Firestick sale page through Amazon dot Com, because Amazon
Speaker 1: owns fire the Firestick, and it says, congratulations, you can
Speaker 1: now upgrade your Firestick normally you can get it for
Speaker 1: I'm eligible for that. I'm eligible, thank you. I'm eligible
Speaker 1: to spend thirty on something that a week ago, for
Speaker 1: everyone was eligible. Means you get it for free. I'm
Speaker 1: so basically I'm allowed to buy it at a higher
Speaker 1: reduced price than it was on sale last week. Completely misleading, Completely,
Speaker 1: that's a scamboni. Hey, you're eligible to upgrade your seats
Speaker 1: on the plane, you know I get better seats, uh sir?
Speaker 1: For additional eight hundred dollars. We can put you in
Speaker 1: a seat that's not eligible. Okay, in certain in certain instances,
Speaker 1: you're granted the thing for free. But to play Devil's
Speaker 1: advocate for a second, of course, when they say you're
Speaker 1: eligible for a seat upgrade, I don't take that as
Speaker 1: I get the seat for free, the upgrade for free.
Speaker 1: I get it because to me, it's like you've been
Speaker 1: awarded the free upgrade, and there it is. That's that
Speaker 1: means it's free. But the second I say it's I'm eligible.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay. That means I have now been put
Speaker 1: in a different pool of people that have this advantage
Speaker 1: over the other pool of people, and now I can
Speaker 1: pay an extra hundred twenty nine dollars to get my
Speaker 1: first class seat. Okay, here's what I was thinking it
Speaker 1: was gonna be. Okay, it was last week. By saying
Speaker 1: I'm eligible, I'm figuring if I mailed back the old
Speaker 1: fire stick I have, they'll give it to me for
Speaker 1: fifteen nineteen dollars, the good one. So instead of maybe
Speaker 1: I'll get it for so I'm eligible for something special,
Speaker 1: I'll send back my old one. They can refurbish it
Speaker 1: and sell it for ten bucks, and they'll give me
Speaker 1: one at a really good price. When I think, when
Speaker 1: I think eligible, also let me clarify, if it's a
Speaker 1: big nut, if it's something that's all. If it's like
Speaker 1: something that with a lot of money, then the eligibility is,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I get into this next category with
Speaker 1: the possibility I can buy this. But when it's an
Speaker 1: item like that, like something it's a scamboni, because it's
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, because because you're you're dealing
Speaker 1: with something that's nineteen dollars through how much. How much
Speaker 1: does it really cost them to give you it's plastic,
Speaker 1: it's probably a seven five bucks. When I hear eligible
Speaker 1: for an upgrade, I think, oh, I'm getting that ship
Speaker 1: for free because it's a five dollar item, right, or
Speaker 1: I'm paying a slight difference. I'm paying an upgrade. Like
Speaker 1: if you if you have if you have uh seats
Speaker 1: on a plane, if the seats in the back of
Speaker 1: two hundred and the upgrade is eight hundred, that's six
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. Maybe they give it to you four fifty,
Speaker 1: right because you use the two hundred, But they're not
Speaker 1: giving me the value. Might and row it's going, Oh
Speaker 1: you want the better seat, it's eight hundred. Tell about
Speaker 1: ticket nothing? Yeah, so I got nothing. Then I gotta
Speaker 1: sell it on eBay if I want my money back.
Speaker 1: That's not what eligible means. Don't get me excited. You
Speaker 1: gotta pull a fucking fairway on them. That way fair
Speaker 1: way fair I call it a fairway. That's a grocery store. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not even in business anymore, right, No, it's not.
Speaker 1: They're gone. The fair way still supermarket. That was in
Speaker 1: all the Impractical Jokers episodes. They always went the fairway.
Speaker 1: I said it that it worked well, it's still it
Speaker 1: still exists in name, but they've sold the company and company. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to promote something real quick. Um. I used
Speaker 1: to be in a sketch comedy group. I think I
Speaker 1: mentioned it briefly on the stereo thing that we did.
Speaker 1: I was in a five person sketching improv group. And
Speaker 1: one of the funniest people I know, uh, is my
Speaker 1: friend Craig Mitchell. Craig moved out to California many years
Speaker 1: ago to be an actor and for pilot season. He's
Speaker 1: been in a bunch of TV shows, you know, smaller
Speaker 1: parts and uh, you know, he does what he's gotta
Speaker 1: do to make a living, and he's just he's hilarious.
Speaker 1: He's does stand up anyway. He started a YouTube recurring
Speaker 1: cooking show. He's been trying to eat healthier, so he's
Speaker 1: doing a cooking healthy Uh. I guess it's a a
Speaker 1: video show TV show, but on YouTube. Every week he
Speaker 1: does a video. And so I want to say a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I told you guys a story
Speaker 1: about how he asked me to film something and then
Speaker 1: didn't tell me it shouldn't be dirty, and I had
Speaker 1: to do it again. Okay, I told the story on
Speaker 1: the stair, a podcast thing that we did, but nobody
Speaker 1: heard it. It's like, you know, so here's what happened. Um,
Speaker 1: we used to do scare you saw this. You came
Speaker 1: to see me perform. If you've ever seen the David
Speaker 1: let him in. Top ten list right well, he goes, Oh,
Speaker 1: the top ten reasons to break up with a girl
Speaker 1: before Christmas, number ten, number nine, it's all written out.
Speaker 1: He reads that the writers put it together. Whatever, well,
Speaker 1: we would do improv in the comedy club. We would
Speaker 1: say to the audience, give us a topic. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do a on the on the on the on the cuff,
Speaker 1: on the spot, top five list because we're five of us.
Speaker 1: So you got to the orange, you get top top
Speaker 1: five worst Ben and Jerry flavors. And then the minute
Speaker 1: you get the topic, the number five guys steps following
Speaker 1: goes number five and then gives an example of the
Speaker 1: worst Ben and Jerry's flavor. Okay, and then number four,
Speaker 1: number three, and two. So if you're number one, you
Speaker 1: have all the way down to you have a long
Speaker 1: time to wait. You have like ten fifteen seconds total
Speaker 1: to think about your answer, but someone else to make
Speaker 1: up and say answer, then you're screwed, right. Anyway, we
Speaker 1: did this live. We broke up as a comedy group
Speaker 1: uh way too many years ago to benon a long
Speaker 1: time ago, when I was only working at the radio
Speaker 1: station for a few years and my schedule got too hectic,
Speaker 1: and we broke up the group after a while. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he got us back together to film a top five list.
Speaker 1: He gave us a topic and we ought to record
Speaker 1: ourselves giving uh an answer. And so he said, record
Speaker 1: like four or five answers for the top five list,
Speaker 1: and I'll pick the best one from each person and
Speaker 1: put it together on my show as a bonus feature.
Speaker 1: And the topic will be related to the item that
Speaker 1: we're making in the show. Okay, great. So I recorded it,
Speaker 1: and after I recorded it, he says, oh, you know, um,
Speaker 1: they're a little bit off color and a little harsh.
Speaker 1: Can you do something? I don't say ass and you
Speaker 1: say bought instead, And I'm fine, It's just he didn't
Speaker 1: tell me that. So I spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: writing material and then filming myself stuff that didn't get used.
Speaker 1: And I love the guy, it's fine. So the topic
Speaker 1: he gave us was I think it was top five
Speaker 1: reasons to make low carbs cinnamon buns. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what he does in this episode. So the five
Speaker 1: of us gave our answers. And so the one he used,
Speaker 1: you can you. I'm gonna tell you how to how
Speaker 1: to watch it in a minute, you'll see the one
Speaker 1: he used it was relatively safe. It was fine. I
Speaker 1: think I was number two in the out of the
Speaker 1: top five countdown um universe or of five two one,
Speaker 1: because the guy got number one. I thought his answer
Speaker 1: was good because I got I got censored. Basically, So
Speaker 1: the top five reasons to eat it um a low
Speaker 1: carb cinnamon bunn. One of them, I said, was um,
Speaker 1: because the doctor already took your other foot. That's a
Speaker 1: diabetic joke, right, well, okay yeah, and he's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: my audience is very well. I was like, okay, all right, fine,
Speaker 1: So with stuff like that, so I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: do eventually release all the ones he didn't use, which
Speaker 1: were a little harder. But if you're interested in seeing
Speaker 1: my friend cook cinnamon buns, low carb cinnamon buns, he's
Speaker 1: very funny. And uh so his name is Craig Mitchell
Speaker 1: spelled Craig with the C and Mitchell like the name
Speaker 1: Mitchell and his his page. His TV show is called
Speaker 1: Off the Cuff Cuff and the latest episode I think
Speaker 1: is the one, and I'm gonna tweet out the link,
Speaker 1: but please go look for it. Just look for off
Speaker 1: to It's very funny, but I think at the end
Speaker 1: or in the middle, I don't where you put it
Speaker 1: is this montage of us doing at top five lists.
Speaker 1: So you can kind of see the people I used
Speaker 1: to perform with and how much better I looked in
Speaker 1: all of them now and scary now Brody, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: was that? Yup? Because I already see it coming. No, No,
Speaker 1: this is this is something that I think we both
Speaker 1: can agree on. People and businesses who are using the
Speaker 1: pandemic as an excuse. A couple of weeks ago, Okay,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and I wanted to go out to brunch.
Speaker 1: Of course they get that, right, Me and my girlfriend? Nope,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and me that nope, the girlfriend, I want
Speaker 1: to go out the brunch and we wanted to sit outside.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to clarify reservation, a reservation that
Speaker 1: I made online and wanted to make sure that you know,
Speaker 1: you know, they had the space heaters. I had questions
Speaker 1: for the restaurant, but this restaurant, let's call them. I think,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think I should call them live here.
Speaker 1: Now we're not gonna we're gonna get there, We're gonna
Speaker 1: get their voicemails. Well, forget it. I'm just gonna. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna. It's it's not it's very quickly says thank
Speaker 1: you for calling blah blah blah restaurant. Due to the
Speaker 1: pandemic and the coronavirus pandemic, we cannot answer the phone.
Speaker 1: And they did go on to like throw you into
Speaker 1: an email address and just be like, fuck you go
Speaker 1: take care of your problems online. They are not answering
Speaker 1: their phone because of the pandemic. Now, nothing has nothing
Speaker 1: has changed. The restaurant still operates. It's still as cooks,
Speaker 1: a general manager, a maitre d waiters, waitresses, it has
Speaker 1: it has personnel right and in fact, they even arguments
Speaker 1: can be made that they even have less customers because
Speaker 1: they can only do outdoor dining because it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's Manhattan, and there's no indoor dining currently allowed. So
Speaker 1: to me, you're shirking your responsibilities in customer service because
Speaker 1: you you know, but you're using that as a front.
Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that a lot of people
Speaker 1: and they're not. It's not just them. That's just one
Speaker 1: small example of people that are doing that in real
Speaker 1: life to other in other facets. In other they're just
Speaker 1: using the pandemic as an excuse to not provide proper
Speaker 1: customer service. Now that is. That is one of several
Speaker 1: customer service lines that I've called in the past seven
Speaker 1: or eight months where the very first thing you hear
Speaker 1: is due to the convot the coronavirus pandemic. We you know,
Speaker 1: things are slower. I understand ups slow. Oh, and you
Speaker 1: know they had that on their website. I had the
Speaker 1: restaurant and I wouldn't answer the phone. They wouldn't answer
Speaker 1: the phone because I wanted to find out if they
Speaker 1: had proper space heaters. And by the way, the answer
Speaker 1: there was no they didn't. Because I got there and
Speaker 1: it was cold as fuck, and we rushed through our
Speaker 1: meal and by the time they threw the eggs down
Speaker 1: on the table ten seconds later, they were cold, and
Speaker 1: like this is this is and I'm sitting there with
Speaker 1: like layers of coats on, shivering next to my girlfhone,
Speaker 1: like all right, this is great, And then I order
Speaker 1: an extra coffee because because you get be coffee because
Speaker 1: I need something hot right now. It was it was terrible.
Speaker 1: Had I known got through them, Well, I don't want
Speaker 1: a solution necessary. This isn't about trying to get desert
Speaker 1: from that. I just think it just sucks that that
Speaker 1: people in general are using the pandemic as an excuse
Speaker 1: to not provide their proper normal customers. So they should
Speaker 1: have given you a more detailed voicemail when you called, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're not doing this. We're doing that, and we'll have
Speaker 1: outdoor seating and we we provide space heaters for every
Speaker 1: six people or whatever. It should tell you that. It
Speaker 1: should tell you on the website anything you want to know.
Speaker 1: People have to at It's like putting tables outside. You
Speaker 1: have to adapt. It's like New York right now. They
Speaker 1: read an article yesterday. But don't pull and tell me
Speaker 1: you can't answer your fucking phone, because what does the
Speaker 1: pandemic have to do with you answering a phone? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: do you want to play devil's advocate back at your ass.
Speaker 1: Let's say some restaurants have such a busy takeout service.
Speaker 1: They don't they this is not one of them, Okay,
Speaker 1: that they have like somebody who answers the phone, who
Speaker 1: like a pizza place. Sometimes there's people who just answer
Speaker 1: all the phones during dinner time to take all the orders, right.
Speaker 1: They may have had to trim down the staff scary
Speaker 1: so much that they don't have someone that could run
Speaker 1: to the phone during brunch hours, during any hour. I called,
Speaker 1: I called regular time, I called before broad I called
Speaker 1: on a weekday before the Peter Luger, before the pandemic.
Speaker 1: You guys know what I'm talking about. They don't answer
Speaker 1: the phone, and nothing's going on. Two years ago, a
Speaker 1: year and a half ago before pre pandemic PP. They
Speaker 1: don't answer the phone at all. Anyway, you can't make
Speaker 1: a reservation. Can we get back to that though, of
Speaker 1: answering the phone and providing an actual live body on
Speaker 1: the other end. I'm sure there's some people listen you
Speaker 1: want to You could route your phone. That's the pandemic
Speaker 1: is not an excuse, because you could route the phones
Speaker 1: through somebody's apartment and then they could just pick up
Speaker 1: their or their or their cell phones somewhere someone who's
Speaker 1: not even you know, the general manager of the owner,
Speaker 1: and he could just like, you know, just pop in
Speaker 1: the air but an air pot in his ear and yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up? Hey, how are you so and so restaurant?
Speaker 1: Like you don't I don't have to answer the physically.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they had a reason for not answering the phone.
Speaker 1: Maybe people keep answering the same dumb question, my question.
Speaker 1: My problem is a larger problem that at some point
Speaker 1: everybody using that because of due to COVID you can't.
Speaker 1: You gotta people have to stop using that as an
Speaker 1: excuse in certain fields, I mean certain things you can't know.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about restaurants. So on our favorite top
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, I think it's New Year's Eve. It
Speaker 1: was Christmas Eve. Christmas was Chinese with Christmas Eve, so
Speaker 1: I understand the holiday. We ordered, um my wife an
Speaker 1: eye for the whole family. We ordered I want to
Speaker 1: stay close to three. It was. It was a very
Speaker 1: expensive steakhouse that you've been to in the in the
Speaker 1: area where we live. I'm gonna say it's about No,
Speaker 1: I'm not in the area we live. It's about forty
Speaker 1: minutes north of where we live, okay, but we like it.
Speaker 1: It's located near a mall. It's a great steakhouse, not
Speaker 1: one you've taken me to, because you haven't. Our bill
Speaker 1: was about I don't know, to seventy eight whatever, and
Speaker 1: we ordered. I'm gonna I'm gonna read the list of things,
Speaker 1: so keep in mind, there's no they don't have indoor
Speaker 1: dining right on the holiday. Normally they have maybe a
Speaker 1: couple of tables outside in the parking lot, but most
Speaker 1: of their business is to go, right, most of their
Speaker 1: order is to go. So let me see if I
Speaker 1: can pull up the list of things that we're wrong here.
Speaker 1: It is okay. So we ordered steak, we ordered lobster tails.
Speaker 1: Again it's a holiday meal. We splurged, you know. Uh.
Speaker 1: We ordered uh to caesar salads and lobster mac and cheese. Okay,
Speaker 1: and we ordered peppercorn sauce on the side of the
Speaker 1: steaks because the kids like peppercorn sauce on the side,
Speaker 1: and a bunch of the things. So we go and
Speaker 1: pick up the food. It's forty minutes bring it back
Speaker 1: and when so some of the things aren't cooked. Now
Speaker 1: we've ordered from them before and they give you a
Speaker 1: sheet with cooking instructions like how to prepare the food
Speaker 1: and put it together. Right. We also ordered three cremebrol
Speaker 1: As desserts, which are you know what is right? Right?
Speaker 1: So they have a cremebrol cheesecake. They have a crembro
Speaker 1: a cheesecake torch. They torched the top of it. Very crusty, sweet,
Speaker 1: crusty thing, fantastic, the creme underneath. So we unpack everything.
Speaker 1: There's no cooking instructions the cremeber A cheesecake. One of
Speaker 1: them is crembro aid, two of them aren't. There's no
Speaker 1: grilled lemons for the lobster. There's no steak butter that
Speaker 1: was supposed to be there to melt for the steak.
Speaker 1: Noe um. We were supposed to put breadcrumbs, bread crumbs
Speaker 1: on the lobster back and cheese. No bread crumbs. Urban Dictionary,
Speaker 1: Google truffle butter. Everybody the Yeah Nicki Minaj song correct
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people. The pop the peppercorn on
Speaker 1: the side is on the steak. Okay, yeah, so I
Speaker 1: call I speak to the manager because the girls like
Speaker 1: you can talk to the manager. I said, hey, we
Speaker 1: have no cooking instructions. He said, well, did you order
Speaker 1: meal price? Fixed? Meal? One or two? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got some lobster, and I think, he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll give me your phone. Your
Speaker 1: your wife's phone number, because I said, she's in she's
Speaker 1: upstairs in the kitchen right now and she's about to
Speaker 1: prepare the stuff. I said, text hard because her number
Speaker 1: was on the order she placed the order. Text her
Speaker 1: the instructions for the two different meals. One of them
Speaker 1: is going to be for us, okay, And I said
Speaker 1: about the the crimber, Uh, it's not blayed. Oh well,
Speaker 1: you know, we find it doesn't travel well when you
Speaker 1: browley the top. And so I said, I didn't so
Speaker 1: what because well, some people may not like it? If
Speaker 1: I said, did you ask me? I said, well, when
Speaker 1: it's to go, we don't brow lay it. Why did
Speaker 1: they get to make that decision for you? Right? I said,
Speaker 1: what do you mean you don't play it when it's
Speaker 1: to go? I said, how is that possible? One of
Speaker 1: the three is brolaid, one of them is done. Oh well,
Speaker 1: that shouldn't happen, I said, Okay, okay. So at this
Speaker 1: point I've only noticed that the brolet and the dinner instructions,
Speaker 1: haven't noticed anything else. So he says, I'll send it
Speaker 1: right over. Fifteen minutes go by. We get one of
Speaker 1: the meal packages instructions on what the cook and had
Speaker 1: to cook it, but not the one we actually not
Speaker 1: the other one. It's I called back. I go, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I think his name is. I'm gonna say Ryan something
Speaker 1: like that, something like Ryan. They say Ryan. You never
Speaker 1: said the second one. Oh man, thanks for reminding me.
Speaker 1: Reminding you. You said you'd send both of them at
Speaker 1: the same time. How do you forget one of them
Speaker 1: when you're when you're sending the first one, your mind
Speaker 1: should easily go to forget altogether. I forgot one of
Speaker 1: the two. So we're standing there. We don't have to
Speaker 1: cook the A couple of things that have to be prepared,
Speaker 1: like what temperature that the lobson tails going I don't know.
Speaker 1: So he sends the second one, and I start noticing
Speaker 1: all these things are are missing, that are wrong. So
Speaker 1: when I had him on the phone the first time,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, well you didn't send a thing
Speaker 1: and it's not cooked. I know it's it's it's Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: I'm not the bad guy here, people, I'm not. I said,
Speaker 1: I know you guys are busy, you know, Yeah, I said, look,
Speaker 1: I just um, you know, we love your place. But uh,
Speaker 1: I'm and it looks like the caesar salad. Forgive me.
Speaker 1: There's a container of caesar salad. It's like three quarters full.
Speaker 1: We ordered sees a salad for two. He said, you
Speaker 1: order for two. Yeah, he said, we ordered two season salads.
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, you're missing a container, said missing a container. Yeah,
Speaker 1: We're supposed to put two and we only put one. Sorry.
Speaker 1: So he says, I'm gonna. I'm gonna send you a
Speaker 1: gift card for your troubles. Of course, okay, great, alright,
Speaker 1: no problem. So then later in the meal, we noticed
Speaker 1: there's no steak butter, no lemons, no bread crumbs, the
Speaker 1: sauce is not on the side. Every single step of
Speaker 1: the meal, there's something wrong. So I said, you know what, Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna. My wife says, just leave it, just leave
Speaker 1: it alone. He's gonna send us a gift card. It's
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, no problem spent. I left it alone, so
Speaker 1: that the right. So the gift card comes right, the
Speaker 1: gift card is fifty dollars. That's fifty dollars on a
Speaker 1: meal where the whole meal was wrong and things were
Speaker 1: missing and things were cooked wrong, whateverty. So my wife says, well,
Speaker 1: that's that doesn't seem like a fair thing. Did he
Speaker 1: forget to put the other fifty dollar gift card in? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said so. She says, well, I don't know how
Speaker 1: I want to handle this, because you usually handle this.
Speaker 1: But I ordered the food and I'm the one disappointed.
Speaker 1: I really thought he was gonna sound like a hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: You have a three hundred dollar meal, you know, give
Speaker 1: me something, give me a hundred. But I didn't ask
Speaker 1: for it. He volunteered. I'm I'm gonna send you a
Speaker 1: gift car to make up for your problems. But he
Speaker 1: said it like yeah, all right. So my wife says,
Speaker 1: let me, um, let me see what I gotta do,
Speaker 1: goes on the website, shoots an email to Corporate Corporate,
Speaker 1: fowards it onto the manager Ryan Corporate. Well, she went
Speaker 1: to the website. Well it's there's more than one restaurant. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say what it is, but it's
Speaker 1: a big name steak chain. It's not a chain. Well,
Speaker 1: it's like there's more than one scale. It's a very upscale.
Speaker 1: It's not like it's not out back, and I love
Speaker 1: out back, but it's not. It's way beyond that. No, no, no, no, dude,
Speaker 1: this is this is you know. Okay, yeah, okay, it's
Speaker 1: I don't even say where it is. But anyway, so, um,
Speaker 1: my wife uh comes home from work. Days later, she says, oh,
Speaker 1: I got an emails response back. Yeah, She goes, They're
Speaker 1: sending us another hundred dollars, another hundred on top of
Speaker 1: the fifty. Now you got Now you got half off
Speaker 1: your meal. Now I'm feeling like now I feel good.
Speaker 1: Now I feel good. So my so my wife says,
Speaker 1: you think you do what I want to can do that.
Speaker 1: I was so proud, good because my because my wife
Speaker 1: does that's not normally who she is. She's always like,
Speaker 1: don't just leave it, you know. But I'm more like
Speaker 1: your wife in that regard, like ie, the same birthday
Speaker 1: we do. Maybe that's the thing. Maybe that's uh. I
Speaker 1: think this. I think that if I'm really really done dirty,
Speaker 1: I will go after what I think is best. I
Speaker 1: will try and make myself whole. I I do fight
Speaker 1: for the free dessert. I'm not afraid to write letters,
Speaker 1: make phone calls and getting people's faces. But the difference
Speaker 1: between you and I is you and me, You and me.
Speaker 1: Big fuck you, Lady Gaga for putting you and I
Speaker 1: that song in my head, because now I always say
Speaker 1: you and I because of the title of your damn song.
Speaker 1: You and I'm pals. Yeah that was me. You could
Speaker 1: say you and I, you and I are going to
Speaker 1: the ball game tomorrow. You could say that, Okay, well
Speaker 1: we're not, though I wish we were. Well, that's another story.
Speaker 1: The Mets got hold on. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: that in a second. Okay, give me all right, so
Speaker 1: you will get there. So and I didn't complain. Difference
Speaker 1: between you and me, brod is you will fight for
Speaker 1: every fight, tooth and nail, for every little nitpicky thing,
Speaker 1: and I didn't. Normally normally you do normally you do
Speaker 1: in this case, I don't think it's I think the slices. No,
Speaker 1: I'm hardcore when it's time to be hardcore, and I have.
Speaker 1: By the way, we're not gonna have time this episode.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of free dessert stories. If I
Speaker 1: want to get to. Um, there's a couple of things
Speaker 1: I do want to slip in, so to speak. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so like one woman slipped it in her
Speaker 1: ex boyfriend's body. This is why, this is why when
Speaker 1: Robin didn't didn't get anything for the fact that her
Speaker 1: eggs broke all over shoes missed me off. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so you're your your girlfriends on the lower ended spectrum
Speaker 1: of of this kind of thing, and you're sort of like, uh,
Speaker 1: you're slightly below the middle and I'm way above. To me,
Speaker 1: it's like, my time and effort to get that gift
Speaker 1: card is it worth that? And then a lot of
Speaker 1: times the answer is no. So I'm like, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna drop it. Yeah, alright, so we gotta go quick
Speaker 1: because we were out of time and I have a
Speaker 1: launch of list of things I wanted to get to,
Speaker 1: which we know. So I got a coup I got
Speaker 1: a couple of short things I got tweeted, uh yesterday,
Speaker 1: So okay, so yesterday was the uh, just to summarize
Speaker 1: the the big problem in Washington, d C. Okay, the
Speaker 1: big problem at the capital, but the protests, we don't
Speaker 1: have to reiterate, call it what you want you probably
Speaker 1: how I feel about it, the whole thing. So I
Speaker 1: get it. I get a So I tweeted out, that
Speaker 1: was Wednesday on Monday, you and I did. The stereo thing?
Speaker 1: Was Monday? Tuesday? It was I tweeted out, Hey, check
Speaker 1: out our show on stereo. Here's the link thing. It
Speaker 1: was two night. Maybe it was Tuesday. Okay, yeah, that
Speaker 1: would make more sense. On Wednesday. Someone with an American
Speaker 1: flag in their logo, it's important to the story, tweets me,
Speaker 1: your show sucks today. There's a reason Patriots is so angry.
Speaker 1: Uh fuck you? Basically right, really pissed? What what my
Speaker 1: show sucks? There? I'm thinking, did the Elvis Durancho say
Speaker 1: something that they that they shouldn't have because because the
Speaker 1: what's today today? Thursday? So the problem with the Capitol
Speaker 1: was on the Wednesday. This is Wednesday afternoon. Then I
Speaker 1: get another one at David Brody. Dude, don't you be
Speaker 1: fucking lecturing where you're going with this? Get off my screen,
Speaker 1: you piece of ship. If you listen to order, you
Speaker 1: know exactly what happened. You don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: So it was But the fact was the guy said,
Speaker 1: your show sucks today. So I'm like, well, what showed
Speaker 1: the stereo podcast sucks? And and and why am I? Why?
Speaker 1: Why are patriots angry at me? What I do to patriots? Well, again,
Speaker 1: David Brody, the Christian News Network guy, must have gone
Speaker 1: on Fox News and he said some things that were
Speaker 1: anti the protesters and the protesters and sympathizes of the However,
Speaker 1: if you want to call him, he said, so I
Speaker 1: went into the capital. He said it was wrong, right,
Speaker 1: So those people decided I'm gonna tweet that motherfucker and
Speaker 1: I when was that motherfucker again? Because you're the other
Speaker 1: David Brodie? Can you put do you put that in
Speaker 1: your Twitter? Could you put that right up front? Saying
Speaker 1: not the other guy, not the Christian News network guy
Speaker 1: line in the profile. No, the point was it only
Speaker 1: happens once every you know, month, But yesterday was a
Speaker 1: particularly polarizing political day, and I got it, but good
Speaker 1: such hatred. But when I saw a show, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was meant to be the other
Speaker 1: David Brody because it shut and they were applying to
Speaker 1: my tweet about the stereo. I'm so happy that my
Speaker 1: name is Scary Jones there's there's no mistake that I'm
Speaker 1: the only one. I don't think there's anyone named Scary,
Speaker 1: let alone Jones. Jones, Yes, but Jones is at nobody
Speaker 1: named Jones but Scary. What kind of name is that? Oh?
Speaker 1: By the way, I something cool on Netflix that I
Speaker 1: know the slices would love and you would love, Brodie,
Speaker 1: you know me. It's rare that I watched TV. But again,
Speaker 1: I love docuseries and and biopics and things that are
Speaker 1: set in reality. There's a five or six part documentary
Speaker 1: on it called It's called High Score. It's about video games.
Speaker 1: It's about the one episode deals with the birth of
Speaker 1: video games from Pong and the early days of Atari
Speaker 1: and what was going on in those offices to like
Speaker 1: the Too pac Man and the Arcade, and then the
Speaker 1: creators and the original sketches of how they how it
Speaker 1: came to be. Then there's another episode about Nintendo and
Speaker 1: Nintendo came over and took over the revived the console
Speaker 1: home Console World to watch, I'll watch it the Sega
Speaker 1: Jet just for our listeners. There's a Sega Genesis one
Speaker 1: episode about how they had to program against Mario and
Speaker 1: Nintendo with their Souper the Genesis, which was the sixteen
Speaker 1: bit system, and then into the world of three D
Speaker 1: and Mortal Kombat, and I'm all right, I'm excited. I'll
Speaker 1: watch it. Street Fighter two my favorite. I can't believe
Speaker 1: that you actually play street Fighter two. Did in the
Speaker 1: arcade played video you played video games. I was such
Speaker 1: a video game headlight street Fighter two. Dude. I worked
Speaker 1: at Chucky Cheese with an arcade. I stayed in there
Speaker 1: all all hours of the night, video game ry you.
Speaker 1: They talked about the Yeah, how they got the settings
Speaker 1: for those those uh those scenes. Yeah, So I'll watch it.
Speaker 1: And something you said something on the air today about
Speaker 1: the computer system or some system. Um. And then somebody
Speaker 1: texted in. They don't even they've never texted their name.
Speaker 1: So I looked at the text history. It said, scary
Speaker 1: is three point nine eight million dollar home system? Can't
Speaker 1: do that? What a rip off? Slice for life? So whoever,
Speaker 1: that was very funny. Then somebody texted in. You know
Speaker 1: when sometimes people confuse or combine two famous expressions and
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense right. Um. Anyway, so this person wrote,
Speaker 1: sitting in a room the big pink elephant. You need
Speaker 1: to talk about it and get through it. So it's
Speaker 1: not a pink elephantsund gorilla, or it's an elephant in
Speaker 1: the corner ephant. It's either one. But a pink elephant
Speaker 1: is what you see when you're drunk, right, But it's
Speaker 1: not the elephant in the room, and it's like the
Speaker 1: girl in the room. Then there was I got into
Speaker 1: a back and forth today with someone who was trying
Speaker 1: to you know, the History of curse Words. It's a
Speaker 1: show on Netflix with Nicholas Cage. I gotta watch it,
Speaker 1: History of Curse Words. So you know how we talked
Speaker 1: about how golf doesn't mean gentlemen only gentleman only ladies forbidden.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that. That's not that's not where golf
Speaker 1: the word golf came from. So they texted in and said, oh,
Speaker 1: the word fuck means um something about on fornication under
Speaker 1: something of the king under that. I saw that text
Speaker 1: go by two, which is again, it's not true, it's
Speaker 1: not real. And then they said, yeah, yeah, no, that's
Speaker 1: it stands for. And then ship stands for a store
Speaker 1: high in transit, and that it had to do with
Speaker 1: when you're on a ship, you want to put things
Speaker 1: high up otherwise that things would explode when the boat
Speaker 1: moved like dynamite. It's that they were writ somebody created
Speaker 1: false narratives at some point. Instead, we're gonna make We're
Speaker 1: gonna put an acronym to this or whatever. So I
Speaker 1: went on Wikipedia and I pulled up the list of
Speaker 1: common false etymologies of English words and acronyms. Did they
Speaker 1: come around, No, they said, no, really look it up,
Speaker 1: I said, I did. I just sent you the website.
Speaker 1: I did look it up. You're wrong, people. You know
Speaker 1: fake news. People can fall into the fake news so
Speaker 1: easily with everything everything is fake news. Speaking of fake news,
Speaker 1: want to wrap it up real quick. Um, I was
Speaker 1: up till three in the morning maybe um Tuesday night
Speaker 1: watching the elections in in Georgia. I couldn't go to bed.
Speaker 1: I had to see the winners. I had to see everything.
Speaker 1: I couldn't have fall asleep. And then yesterday it was
Speaker 1: all news obviously coming out of Washington. I was up
Speaker 1: till three or four in the morning. So you've got
Speaker 1: because it was still doing. Uh, you know, after the
Speaker 1: after the they got everybody out of the Capitol, all
Speaker 1: the congressmen and senator, congress women, everybody went back in Senators.
Speaker 1: They went back in and did what they were gonna do.
Speaker 1: It was all I was of the night. They didn't
Speaker 1: finish until some three something in the morning. I got
Speaker 1: no sleep, So I'm like, news up, politics out of
Speaker 1: my mind today. Whether you're a sports fan or not,
Speaker 1: Mets fans and I apologized to Cleveland fans, you deal.
Speaker 1: Mets fans got a gift today. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get too specific. The point is, if you're into sports
Speaker 1: or anything in life that's a distraction for you. The
Speaker 1: Mets and Indians made a trade today. The Mets got
Speaker 1: one of the best players in baseball. Whether you're into
Speaker 1: sports or not. I got to watch sports news today.
Speaker 1: I watched the press conference, I watched um uh, the
Speaker 1: the recap show. I listened to sports radio. The point was,
Speaker 1: we're in the wintertime and there is no baseball. Normally,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit here and there. This was such
Speaker 1: a great day for me and for Skiri that we
Speaker 1: could just tune on everything else. We had an excuse
Speaker 1: to everything else. So I hope there's something in your life,
Speaker 1: slices that takes your mind off the ship going on
Speaker 1: in the world right now, like like a baseball trade
Speaker 1: or a playoff, your football team is in the player.
Speaker 1: We need positive diversions. So if you're an Indians fan,
Speaker 1: not a great day. But if you're not an Indians
Speaker 1: fan and your Mets fan, great day. Awesome day, awesome day.
Speaker 1: So that's it. That's all I had to say. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to you guys later six Monday at six on
Speaker 1: the Stereopple Meet you there, broadcasting live from Brooklyn, not
Speaker 1: brock
