Speaker 2: His name was John Johnson. And I used to sell
Speaker 2: me of all the names in Johnson family, name me
Speaker 2: kid John John Johnson.
Speaker 1: And then I went to school with a girl. Her
Speaker 1: last name was Defina. Italian girl named Defina could have
Speaker 1: named anything on the planet. They named her Gina Gina Defena.
Speaker 1: Where to God, the name was Geena Defina. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: what I said, Like, seriously, you couldn't name it, like
Speaker 1: even like Maria Defina.
Speaker 2: It's not as been close as Gena Defena. And I'm
Speaker 2: sure unless Gena define is attractive girl.
Speaker 4: And un remember that.
Speaker 1: That's just of course you remember it because name was
Speaker 1: Jena Defena. I knew an Anna Banana. You did, not,
Speaker 1: my god, oh my god, but you have an unusual
Speaker 1: Italian name. It sounds like cordenza, right, like a piece
Speaker 1: of Furnit like a cordenza.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 5: It actually sounds like George Costanza because George, I said,
Speaker 5: people always put they always said my name Costanza instead
Speaker 5: of Cosenza.
Speaker 1: Right. I said, you should have named your kid before
Speaker 1: scary called you. I said you should have named your
Speaker 1: kid George. George.
Speaker 4: I would killed myself. I would have killed kids.
Speaker 1: Already bold Right, he's already close. Put some glasses on him,
Speaker 1: perfect Halloween costume. But then you didn't go for the hair. Okay,
Speaker 1: but then but then you you you practically hair, you
Speaker 1: practically gena because you named your kid Enzo Crescenzo. And no,
Speaker 1: it's not Cassnzo.
Speaker 4: It's totally not Cassnzo. It's Cassnzo. Ah, and so it's
Speaker 4: Enzo Cassnza. It's actually the best part.
Speaker 1: You got the doubles ends.
Speaker 4: I know, isn't that awesome?
Speaker 1: I like it. It flows, it goes right off the tongue.
Speaker 1: I like, people are gonna call them, people are gonna Cassnzo.
Speaker 4: No, they'll call him e.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people call him E like
Speaker 3: I like E and I liked e J because his
Speaker 3: middle name is g.
Speaker 5: J.
Speaker 4: So it's en yeah, Jake, it's she chose a Jewish name.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no middle name?
Speaker 4: No wait you ready. It's actually a really cool story
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 3: But it's actually my dad's initials, so we actually spell
Speaker 3: it differently. We spell A J A C, but it's
Speaker 3: pronounced G and it's my dad's initials.
Speaker 1: You can't sell, you can't spelled to tell people it's Jake.
Speaker 1: So well, Brody wants to know why you.
Speaker 4: Wait a second, Brody, do whatever I want. It's my kid.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna call him a jacof. You can't do
Speaker 1: that to the kid. It's jc off.
Speaker 4: Are they gonna call him Enzo Cuzenza? Are they gonna
Speaker 4: call him a Jacob?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: Which one is it gonna be?
Speaker 1: It depends on what neighbor you grow up in, because
Speaker 1: if it was my old neighbor, they call him all
Speaker 1: of that. Ship's a beautiful name. I loved.
Speaker 4: I love you, do you know what? No?
Speaker 3: I love the name. I I'm obsessed with the name.
Speaker 3: I wanted this name so bad. But do you even
Speaker 3: understand why his name's Enzo.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you know why, because it's it's fit with
Speaker 1: the zens, like the rhyme of it.
Speaker 4: My daughter's name is Porscha. I am a car girl.
Speaker 6: And when I was racing Ferrari, people were racing ferrari is,
Speaker 6: and I told myself that I wanted my two children
Speaker 6: to have these badass names Ferrari own, no, no, And
Speaker 6: you know what some people.
Speaker 3: Are, like sheriff, we know you better. You're gonna name
Speaker 3: this kid like Lambeau or something like what are you crazy?
Speaker 4: Like really like no no as a guy.
Speaker 3: And do you know what the name Enzo stands for.
Speaker 3: It stands for like powerful, superior king. It's like everything
Speaker 3: that you can imagine if you looked if you ever
Speaker 3: looked up names, like when you decided to name your kid.
Speaker 3: I actually don't know what your kid's names are. But
Speaker 3: when you decided to name your kids, did you ever
Speaker 3: look at.
Speaker 4: Like what the name's been? Or why you name them that?
Speaker 1: Years later he is later as a goof you know
Speaker 1: why again?
Speaker 4: Why though you think your kid's name is a goo?
Speaker 4: Like what if your name did something? And god? Or
Speaker 4: like or like.
Speaker 1: Because because doesn't but doesn't those have made up things.
Speaker 1: If I name my kid, let's say, name my kid James,
Speaker 1: and then I look up as James James powerful warrior.
Speaker 1: Somebody made that out. It doesn't actually mean powerful warrior.
Speaker 4: It means this stuff.
Speaker 2: It's like the horoscope. It's all like it's I don't
Speaker 2: listen to that ship. I'm not I like something.
Speaker 1: I like them.
Speaker 3: Listen I had a them, the same way you have
Speaker 3: people like Paris Hiltan who said that she always wanted
Speaker 3: a phoenix and she wanted a London.
Speaker 4: Everybody's got their own thing.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think it's great. I think is fantastic. I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 3: And wait, not that not that the movie was so great.
Speaker 3: There I got to say, I wish the movie was better.
Speaker 3: But that's beside. The point was fantastic.
Speaker 4: That was amazing. Oh my god, that was amazing. But
Speaker 4: the whole thing. Did you ever go past the name
Speaker 4: of Enzo? Do you ever? Do you know what an
Speaker 4: Enzo Ferrari is?
Speaker 7: It is the most unique vehicle that they made. I
Speaker 7: think they made, uh, maybe four hundred and ninety nine
Speaker 7: of them in the whole country, and they like literally
Speaker 7: made them. They stopped making them in something like two
Speaker 7: thousand and I think it was two thousand and two
Speaker 7: or something. They were so badass that even the Vatican.
Speaker 3: At one point had block kicked okay to raffle it
Speaker 3: off for something.
Speaker 4: It's millions of dollars. They're so unique.
Speaker 3: The power behind that car and the idea when you're
Speaker 3: a car person is just insanity, like the idea of
Speaker 3: like the Enzo Ferrari.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just very cool.
Speaker 1: He will he will grow into that personality. I believe
Speaker 1: that thing. I think you become your name absolutely whatever
Speaker 1: you know, Portia an Enzo end up driving.
Speaker 4: They won't.
Speaker 3: In fact, I'm sure I'm destined to buy them each
Speaker 3: their own main cars.
Speaker 4: They're sixteen.
Speaker 1: Here is and you know you hear me here, Brody was.
Speaker 3: You should have keep making movies because I got two
Speaker 3: spoiled breadths on my hands.
Speaker 1: But all Brody wanted to do is rattle your cages.
Speaker 1: It make some fun because the name rhymes, and I
Speaker 1: like it as a show.
Speaker 3: You didn't get to rattle my cages because I think
Speaker 3: it's cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think like it's a showbiz name
Speaker 2: like ends crissns.
Speaker 4: So now you got my god, you're so funny.
Speaker 1: But now you got your answer, Brody, you got your answer.
Speaker 1: This is why she wanted to do it, and that
Speaker 1: this is really well.
Speaker 3: I think it's my children are so unique that they
Speaker 3: needed unique names, and Portia Porsia I tried to make
Speaker 3: as unique as possible. I think there's only one other
Speaker 3: person that's in showbiz that actually has her name spelled
Speaker 3: that way because she is not by the way, Portilla
Speaker 3: Portillo was not having that whole po r t I
Speaker 3: A and Shakespeare and blah. No, right, she's badass. She's
Speaker 3: p O R s h A. That's it done. And
Speaker 3: her middle name is badass too.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Her middle names.
Speaker 1: Lexus uh Chase, chase with a chase with chase with
Speaker 1: a C or an essence at the end, with a
Speaker 1: stuff very it's well thought out c h A s
Speaker 1: C no idea.
Speaker 4: How thought out this stuff is? This is like so
Speaker 4: thought out, it's.
Speaker 1: Like it spelled. Our kids are in a position. You
Speaker 1: pronounced it chase. What is it c ch a C
Speaker 1: He's he's being a ball asking a serious questions. It's
Speaker 1: spelled c ch a c chess chack. But you pronounce
Speaker 1: it chase.
Speaker 4: You know you mean because the Jack and Jada no.
Speaker 1: Okay, right after this, we're gonna drop the bombshell on
Speaker 1: the original, the real reason why I'm calling you today.
Speaker 3: Hold on a second, I never even told you. I'm
Speaker 3: just for the hell of it, just to bury him, scary.
Speaker 3: Can I just have one more story?
Speaker 1: Well, I know we're coming right back with you, but yeah,
Speaker 1: what did you want to say?
Speaker 4: There? Ready? Why Jack is Jakey? I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 3: Okay, My father, who was into cars, okay, had gotten
Speaker 3: himself some major sports car when he was, like I
Speaker 3: don't know, just getting out of college or something. And
Speaker 3: the story when that he wanted to put his name
Speaker 3: on the license plate and so instead of putting his
Speaker 3: name on the license plate, to put.
Speaker 4: His initials, jac and all his.
Speaker 3: Friends started calling him Jake, and so he got the
Speaker 3: nickname Jake.
Speaker 4: And because it was on a car, it also goes.
Speaker 3: With my badass story of my badass kids with their
Speaker 3: badass names and cars. And so therefore my son is
Speaker 3: not called his grandpa's first name, but yet his initials,
Speaker 3: which will ride on forever and also have a story
Speaker 3: of a car involved with it.
Speaker 4: The ends case closed.
Speaker 2: So just to just to recap, now, your son's name
Speaker 2: is Jake j A. C. Because your father's friends can't
Speaker 2: read pretty.
Speaker 1: Much, okay, pretty much. I love her.
Speaker 4: Pretty much, but made a great story for my kids.
Speaker 1: It's terrific and no, listen you, the whole theme is
Speaker 1: just it's awesome. I have no theme for my three kids.
Speaker 1: So I love that you have a son. She has
Speaker 1: a vision. She had a vision, she knew, and she knew.
Speaker 1: She was hoping for that boy so she could name him.
Speaker 4: I ended up with a girl and a boy.
Speaker 1: Forget it.
Speaker 4: How great is that? Would have had to change my whole.
Speaker 2: Thing, right, the whole thing your other daughter, Za can
Speaker 2: I can I tell you I would have We would
Speaker 2: have called.
Speaker 1: You ten minutes earlier.
Speaker 4: Scary.
Speaker 1: And I have a friend.
Speaker 2: When we come back from break, I'll tell you about
Speaker 2: the friend that we both have who is named after
Speaker 2: a car.
Speaker 1: Also, absolutely you think of it, yes, exactly right after that,
Speaker 1: it's the boys podcast. Man, we struck a chord. And
Speaker 1: not only that, we still haven't gotten to the reason
Speaker 1: why we're calling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me just the Bombshow we have a
Speaker 2: friend was named after an old volkswagon. That's a that's
Speaker 2: it's considered like one of an iconic car. But it's
Speaker 2: not like a Ferrari iconic. It was like a unique
Speaker 2: looking car they don't make anymore, called the Carmen Gia.
Speaker 2: And our friend's father named her Gia after the Carmen Gia.
Speaker 2: So she has to spend her life explaining why her
Speaker 2: name is Gia.
Speaker 4: That's just not a good story about it, though. I mean,
Speaker 4: I gotta talk to this guy like.
Speaker 1: You've got a much better story. You definitely do, all right,
Speaker 1: So I thought I thought she had a decent story,
Speaker 1: but next to yours, she needs a better story. You're
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right.
Speaker 5: No, I mean a Gia, a Gea.
Speaker 4: They're gonna like either rule the world or be movie stars.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure you.
Speaker 1: Don't have to explain it. He had a Kia and
Speaker 1: her name was Kea.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's horrible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how you know it's a big responsibility naming your children.
Speaker 4: Scared?
Speaker 2: Well, can I tell you my kids? We were going
Speaker 2: to name our first kid. We had to know because
Speaker 2: when you're Jewish, you usually name somebody with the first
Speaker 2: same first letter as a deceased relative. Right, we don't
Speaker 2: do the juniors thing and the third and the fourth.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, So we had a name gathering.
Speaker 3: By the way, you celebrate everything, you have some party
Speaker 3: about it too, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have yeah, baby naming ceremony.
Speaker 4: Relative No, the baby named ceremony. That's it. When does
Speaker 4: that happen?
Speaker 1: It's not really a thing.
Speaker 2: You just you go to the temple, you tell them
Speaker 2: your name that they do it like they do like
Speaker 2: a prayer, and they give you a certificate. It's not
Speaker 2: like a christening or a it's not like. It's not
Speaker 2: as fancy anyway. We were just hang on girl names
Speaker 2: and boy names with the letter J. And my wife
Speaker 2: at the time this is, by the way, this is
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, right, two thousand, my wife wanted to
Speaker 2: name our oldest if she was a girl, which ended
Speaker 2: up being wanted to name her Jordan. And at the
Speaker 2: time it wasn't. I don't offend anybody whose name is
Speaker 2: Jordan or whose kid's name is Jordan. But that in
Speaker 2: two thousand I knew a girl who was a stripper
Speaker 2: named Jordan.
Speaker 1: And on uh, what's that Big House? What's the House?
Speaker 2: Show on CBS? Big Brother, No, Big Brother, the Big
Speaker 2: Brother House. The girl on the show was named Jordan and.
Speaker 1: She was a stripper. So I said, look to my wife,
Speaker 1: folks too, Jordan's I know the boat strippers. Sheaus, all right,
Speaker 1: we won't name her Jordan. But now, Jordan's a cool name.
Speaker 1: But at the time, I didn't want my daughter to
Speaker 1: have a stripper name, not this anywhere own stripping. But
Speaker 1: we're like, it's an bad omen. Too many strippers?
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 1: But you know, but that was only but that's ephemeral.
Speaker 1: It was there for that moment, see you just you
Speaker 1: could just shook it off and been like, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna I'm gonna name her. I'm gonna name her.
Speaker 1: We want to name her. Who cares about the stripper?
Speaker 4: What's the daughter's name?
Speaker 1: That's something Jay, that is enjoyed. Okay, now listen, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Let's go with the bombs
Speaker 1: show secret I'll tell you later privately. And it's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. I keep my kids out of my life.
Speaker 1: So I was doing the podcast with Share and we
Speaker 1: were hanging out. We're talking and we were just you know,
Speaker 1: catching up on life as you do, as we always do.
Speaker 1: And the next thing, you know, she introduces me to
Speaker 1: baby Enzo Cassenza and and and Porsche was there, her daughter,
Speaker 1: and we were just having a grand old time. And
Speaker 1: as we're about to sign off the podcast, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: does Enzo have one eyebrow?
Speaker 4: NOO's perfect?
Speaker 1: Okay, then it's not serious. Perfect, And all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: her daughter Porsche, her daughter Porsche reveals this huge surprise
Speaker 1: and says, uncle Scary, will you will you be the godfather?
Speaker 1: And no, yes, that's awesome. Is it awesome?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: Is it awesome? It's it's okay. I read that on
Speaker 1: the no offense. Now, hold on a second. I don't
Speaker 1: want to offend your share. But my initial my initial
Speaker 1: reaction was, oh my god. I was like, I had
Speaker 1: my my face palmed.
Speaker 3: But in it if you saw his face when we
Speaker 3: said it, it was just perfect.
Speaker 1: It was yes here and shock. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: responsibility in being a godparent of a child. Okay, Cheryl,
Speaker 1: let me let me take all the things. I know
Speaker 1: you love Scary. I know you love him, and he
Speaker 1: is a wonderful person. He's never done any unfair life
Speaker 1: human being. He is a very good human being. So
Speaker 1: I understand completely why you chose him. I said yes.
Speaker 1: I said yes. By the way, yes, good, Okay, some
Speaker 1: things you need to scary he is getting get on
Speaker 1: my knees, but oh hello, hello, No, I mean.
Speaker 2: To ask okay, like you really want him to be here.
Speaker 1: I haven't anyway, So some things you need to know.
Speaker 1: I got questions.
Speaker 4: All I thought of, No, you don't understand the whole time. Wait,
Speaker 4: I got to tell you this. The whole time.
Speaker 8: I was thinking about how we were going to ask,
Speaker 8: and we were like we pulled up a sign and
Speaker 8: Course is like, I don't know, and I'm like okay,
Speaker 8: And then I'm like, maybe I should make it like
Speaker 8: will you you know, like really cute, like an engagement
Speaker 8: type thing. And I'm like yeah, but I can't go
Speaker 8: on my knees at the podcast because then I'll be
Speaker 8: out of frame.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, how do we do this?
Speaker 3: And we were talking about all this stuff and imagine
Speaker 3: me doing this Bertie with my five year old. She's
Speaker 3: like totally a goofball. So she's just like adding to
Speaker 3: this and I'm like, oh, finally, forget it. We're just
Speaker 3: gonna ask him together. So that's what I meant by
Speaker 3: getting on my knees, Buddy, I got you.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things you need to know.
Speaker 2: First of all, skin And we've talked about this many
Speaker 2: times on the podcast and on the Morning show. The
Speaker 2: only thing scary ever asks about kids When someone says, oh,
Speaker 2: I a new kid. He was he doesn't know anything yet, Scary,
Speaker 2: what's your one question?
Speaker 1: They are? They are? They are? They coloquy? That's it?
Speaker 1: But you asked because I don't have any relatable I
Speaker 1: got nothing. I got nothing. I have nothing in common
Speaker 1: with inc I don't know. I don't think I did that.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what else to ask. He doesn't he
Speaker 1: doesn't know about.
Speaker 4: Do you understand? Do you understand what a cool godfather
Speaker 4: that is?
Speaker 3: That he's just like this awesome guy who has nothing
Speaker 3: to add.
Speaker 4: To this at all, which is so cool because he's
Speaker 4: just going to grow with the kid and learn.
Speaker 3: And now he's got a godson who is badass already.
Speaker 4: I got questions he gets to like see the kid grow.
Speaker 1: First of all, first of all, ask your questions. I
Speaker 1: got the new questions. First of all, why me wasn't
Speaker 1: there anybody better or cooler or closer to you? I
Speaker 1: know you have relatives that are that are guys.

Speaker 1: That wasn't you calling to ask me first? Right?
Speaker 4: Well? Actually no, So why listen? You are a close second, Brodie.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure now you are aware. Wait, answer
Speaker 1: the question.
Speaker 4: Really wants to know why?
Speaker 1: I need to know why.
Speaker 4: I really want to know. Do you want me to
Speaker 4: bring Scott in for this one? Or are you good
Speaker 4: if I just answer?
Speaker 1: Just answer it because we got to move and and
Speaker 1: and then I have a second.
Speaker 3: Question, because here you are the absolute best uncle ever.
Speaker 3: You absolutely are such a good friend to me. We
Speaker 3: have been so close for so long, and there would
Speaker 3: be nothing more than I'd want my son to see
Speaker 3: than a wonderful person who works his ass off, has
Speaker 3: a great outitude about family, and is the most loving person.
Speaker 4: So there, you really want to know why that's right,
Speaker 4: And I think it's pretty cool. Okay, but you know,
Speaker 4: and wait, one more thing.
Speaker 3: I think you actually could teach him a little bit
Speaker 3: about being Italian if you really dig into your little Brooklyn.
Speaker 4: Roots over there.
Speaker 3: Because I I don't know what Brooklyn Italians like. I
Speaker 3: only know what like Westchester Italians like. I think it's
Speaker 3: a different.
Speaker 1: It's just the accent. I mean, it's all the same customs.
Speaker 1: But I will say it's a attitude. But I'll say this,
Speaker 1: and then my next question is to what extent of
Speaker 1: a role do I need to play in the child's life?
Speaker 1: Because what I heard, what I had heard was that
Speaker 1: you don't just do this dipping in the water and
Speaker 1: holding up the baby, taking some pictures and giving big gifts,
Speaker 1: which all of which I'm capable of, by the way,
Speaker 1: because I know I got to I gotta come correct
Speaker 1: with the cash, all right, But what happens in the
Speaker 1: event of an emergency, what happens if at the end
Speaker 1: of at the end of the day, if like, don't
Speaker 1: I become like the guardian of the child.
Speaker 4: In pretty much Yeah, scary, it's all about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the kid needs a kidney, scary, you got to
Speaker 1: give it up.
Speaker 3: But like you, guys, anything, you better, Scary. The kid's
Speaker 3: gonna want a Ferrari for sixteenth birthday too.
Speaker 1: No, but you're not hearing me out, fer That's right.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're saddling me with a kid in
Speaker 1: the event that you guys pass. Okay, you're not getting
Speaker 1: left the kid Scary, But I heard that that's what
Speaker 1: happens with the god Parents. Is you You know that
Speaker 1: when Scary Scary dropped greg T's kid off of bed, right.
Speaker 3: I've heard lots of stories about all of you.
Speaker 1: You know, he crushed it in the Bahamas. Am I
Speaker 1: going to sign a document? I got, I gotta sign
Speaker 1: a contract that looks like, so what what what the print?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I'm not sure yet what I'm gonna
Speaker 4: make you sign. We'll figure it out. What is the
Speaker 4: answer on this podcast?
Speaker 1: I need to know what the fine print is going
Speaker 1: to say because you need to get him into a restaurant.
Speaker 1: That's what to get into.
Speaker 3: I have listen, you already accepted that, so there's no
Speaker 3: vaccies on this whole thing.
Speaker 4: The thing is is that at this point.
Speaker 3: You're you're officially stepped into the role as Godfather, and yes,
Speaker 3: the tradition was was that you know that that those
Speaker 3: people stepped in if something happens. But I do understand, Scary,
Speaker 3: that you're not really in the parental spot yet in
Speaker 3: your life, and that I don't know if that's where
Speaker 3: you were going by it.
Speaker 1: Yet Scary asked me if he could rename the title
Speaker 1: to God. And I don't want to commit to anything.
Speaker 1: I can't even keep a plant alive. I went to
Speaker 1: home depot and I picked up a little mini cactus. No,
Speaker 1: a cactus which doesn't even need water, and I fucking
Speaker 1: drowned the thing and now it turned brown and it
Speaker 1: died a mini caccus. Hand to God, this thing is
Speaker 1: is frigging dead over here. Because I might be like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you were supposed to sit there and just
Speaker 1: leave it there, and I'm like, well I didn't. I wandered,
Speaker 1: it didn't need water once in a while, and it drowned.
Speaker 3: Okay, if it means anything to you, I can't keep
Speaker 3: plants alive, EI though, Okay, but I kept my kids alive.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 4: Listen, kids aren't like plants. And the other thing is
Speaker 4: is that it's gonna have a very different, you know
Speaker 4: type of meaning right now. But the truth of the
Speaker 4: matter is is.
Speaker 3: That you are the official godfather, So that does come
Speaker 3: with some responsibility, Scary, I mean, you know, it comes
Speaker 3: with responsibility. It comes with you know, Porscha, what do
Speaker 3: we always joke around and say, what.
Speaker 4: Do we say to Daddy all the time? What do
Speaker 4: we say? Money? Money? My money, money?
Speaker 1: Cash? It comes with cash. See, Brody, I have a question,
Speaker 1: share you have You have two kids, right, I assume

Speaker 1: Not that you're not a good person, you know, it

Speaker 1: the first person I called was my girlfriend and I say, hey,
Speaker 1: guess what, I'm gonna be a god. I'm the godfather
Speaker 1: and shares kid and she laughed and then she goes,
Speaker 1: you do realize that if they die, he becomes yours? Right,
Speaker 1: That's like, that's not that's not how Mike what, That's
Speaker 1: not how it works. It's not the same thing, all right.
Speaker 2: I will listen, you have to write a whole thing
Speaker 2: up that if you die, who gets the kid? It's
Speaker 2: not the godfather of the guidance.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm like, it's just it's a big responsibility. I've
Speaker 1: never I've never been the father to anything. You gotta
Speaker 1: be a You gotta be a role model god, a
Speaker 1: source of inspiration, a font of knowledge, a font of money,
Speaker 1: communion suits and whatever else you guys do anyway, So
Speaker 1: all right, so I got that from here.
Speaker 2: I want to hear about your trip, and I want
Speaker 2: to talk about who you didn't take on your trip.
Speaker 2: But I said to you, I was going to make
Speaker 2: a jingle like, oh what it's scary learned jingle so
Speaker 2: we could set up this segment.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: So, not working for the radio company anymore, I don't
Speaker 2: have access to parody singers. No, right, I have to like,
Speaker 2: you have to submit the request and you have to
Speaker 2: ask for this.
Speaker 1: It's a whole pin in the balls, like where you
Speaker 1: haven't been in the country when Brody, when Brody used
Speaker 1: to be at the station, he would just send an email.
Speaker 1: They would talk. He would Now it's like he's got
Speaker 1: to go through this. No, I don't do anything well.
Speaker 1: I make I do it right. But in this case,
Speaker 1: Brody was short on time. I was short on time.
Speaker 1: There was no way I was getting the jingle singers in.
Speaker 1: I was on vacation. So what did you do well?
Speaker 2: I wrote some jingles for this, and then I thought
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use technology, and I got an AI website
Speaker 2: to take my lyrics. I put in the musical styles
Speaker 2: I wanted, and I created five different jingles for Scary's trip.
Speaker 2: So the lyrics are the same in each one, but
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to them and listen to
Speaker 2: what AI did.
Speaker 1: Hey, I created the music. I told her where to
Speaker 1: put the verses, where to put the choruses. I had
Speaker 1: to do some work, but playing him one through five,
Speaker 1: I played the first one the first. This is in
Speaker 1: the style of Abba, because I thought, you know, Abbas
Speaker 1: from is Swedish, and you thought you were going to
Speaker 1: Sweden in the part of the Netherlands.
Speaker 2: So I hope all the lyrics are clear. If they're not,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what she's saying. But this is all
Speaker 2: computer generated from my lyrics on my input.
Speaker 9: What the scam about the Netherlands is never bet And
Speaker 9: then he was all the seed and he thought he.
Speaker 4: Was a scene.
Speaker 1: And when he was the Netherlands, he went to the house.
Speaker 9: And then Frank in the Redland this year you broke
Speaker 9: the band. He went to thinking he was not the
Speaker 9: Netherlens Denmark is not as closure as he thought it
Speaker 9: wasn't another Less, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: He wasn't Netherless, it wasn't Norway. Then it wasn't.
Speaker 9: We're going to the netherlans the sunny most not.
Speaker 1: But that sounds like some eighties keyboard cassio chi. That's
Speaker 1: what we put in. I put in an abbas, so
Speaker 1: they gave me like an abba sound that I put it.
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's reiterate and be clear again. You wrote
Speaker 1: lyrics to this on a page and select the stylings
Speaker 1: and whatever? Did you write the lyrics word for word? Yes, okay?
Speaker 1: And then they and then they just picked music and
Speaker 1: singers and sang your lyrics. Well not, there's no they
Speaker 1: the computer. I put in verse one, verse two, chorus,
Speaker 1: and I put the lyrics. I love it, And it
Speaker 1: took the style and made the song. And then because
Speaker 1: it knew a chorus like in that song, it changed
Speaker 1: the ending on the chorus to an outro and and
Speaker 1: reversed the lyrics. But otherwise it's I did it. How
Speaker 1: much was this free ninety nine? Free ninety nine? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you the truth. My friend
Speaker 1: Eric from the It's Eric Nagel podcast. Eric with a
Speaker 1: k our buddy. He had the program, and so I
Speaker 1: sent him the information and he did that, and then
Speaker 1: I got I went to a website and did a
Speaker 1: couple of myself. So this is initially did it to
Speaker 1: show me how to do it. A different styling of
Speaker 1: the same stuff. This is europop because you were in Europe.
Speaker 1: We're really gonna listen to this. Yes, the whole thing
Speaker 1: all the way through. I want you to see what
Speaker 1: the computer, what AI can do. There's five of these. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were no different, They're all different. What's the scary
Speaker 1: learn about the leather lens?
Speaker 4: Is he now a bets and man?
Speaker 1: She was always he?
Speaker 9: He thought he was his Sweden body was lelens. He
Speaker 9: went a fan Frank in the Red district. He broke
Speaker 9: the bag.
Speaker 1: What he went there thinking he was smart?
Speaker 9: The Netherlands Denmark, he's not as he got it.
Speaker 1: They take themselves way too seriously. Okay, go to the
Speaker 1: next one. Okay, what what styling is this? Alternate europop?
Speaker 1: And a'll do grunge? Okay, oh my god?
Speaker 9: What did here learn about the Netherlands? Is he now
Speaker 9: a betterment? He was always eaten? He probably wasn't making
Speaker 9: but it was never less.
Speaker 1: What the hell is He went.
Speaker 9: To the house of fans Frank in the Red Light district.
Speaker 9: He broke the bank.
Speaker 1: He went there thinking he was smart.
Speaker 10: But the Netherlands at Denmark, he's not a culture all.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, all right, we get the picture. No,
Speaker 1: but wait a second, these are this is not based
Speaker 1: on a specific woman's voice. That they didn't didn't rip
Speaker 1: a woman's voice. And you know, like, how did they
Speaker 1: come up with that voice? It doesn't sound like a computer.
Speaker 1: But because it's AI. When I told it I wanted europop,
Speaker 1: they took a typical europop sound and I did grunge.
Speaker 1: Listen when that sounds like we're grunge.
Speaker 9: Scary about the Netherlands, he was always he was in Sweden.
Speaker 1: Body was ned. He went to the house. Brody's never
Speaker 1: gonna He's never gonna leave his house again, David bebody,
Speaker 1: He's just gonna be sit home writing fucking jingles and
Speaker 1: punching him dude, putting them into AI all day.
Speaker 3: This for you?
Speaker 1: What this is?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: I get another one. I think this was a Swedish
Speaker 1: metal but there's another.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got play go to the middle here serious, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's like Alison Chain's almost Oh my god. I mean,
Speaker 1: the possibilities are endless here, endless and endless. Where was
Speaker 1: this twenty five years ago? Scary? Where was the internet?
Speaker 1: Twenty five minutes? It was rhetoric? Rhetorical? Everything is everything
Speaker 1: right now? So how about that? How about that? I
Speaker 1: got jingle? I got you jingles anytime I want now,
Speaker 1: boom boom boom boom. Now I can't do parodies. It's
Speaker 1: like you can't, it's not they're not there yet. But
Speaker 1: we're getting there, all right, So Netherlands. Wow, eight minutes later,
Speaker 1: here we are, so dude, that's content, bro. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I love it. I just we needed five of them. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I liked it.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: I do like the electric the electro pop one.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's my favorite one. I mean, yeah, where
Speaker 1: do I begin? I went to I went to Marbella,
Speaker 1: Spain first, right, Yeah, not the neother one like bathing suit?
Speaker 1: Yeah about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us that story, because it looked like you
Speaker 2: bought a knockoff, which you never do, you boogie best,
Speaker 2: well it was.
Speaker 1: Montclair is a very famous brand from France, and it costs.
Speaker 1: It costs crazy money, like five six, seven hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for like a babby suit. Yeah, so what does it
Speaker 1: do better?
Speaker 4: What is it? What?
Speaker 1: It's got a freaking Montclair patch on it. Next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting there on the launch chair. It's status.
Speaker 1: It's status, Brodie. As as that girl from the Bricklyman
Speaker 1: Bronx said, I'm a braggart, you know, I gotta be
Speaker 1: a how was its status to got a bag? I
Speaker 1: got a brag? Okay, all right, all right, dude, I'm
Speaker 1: being facetious. I don't know. Okay. So there was a
Speaker 1: guy sitting there on the beach with a stack of
Speaker 1: these bathing suits and he's like walking around, He's coming
Speaker 1: up to everybody on the lounge chairs, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I really liked that color of blue,
Speaker 1: that the shade of blue was beautiful. So I humored
Speaker 1: him and he goes he thirty dollars on the Montclair,
Speaker 1: thirty dollars on the Montclair, like for thirty dollars, and
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, yeah, it's good, it's good. It's very good.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't answer my question of is it real. He
Speaker 1: just kept saying, oh, it's very good quality. He's a politician. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Didn't answer the question. So my friend looked. My friend
Speaker 1: looked at me and he's like, dude. He goes for
Speaker 1: thirty dollars. I said, nah, I said, I said, I
Speaker 1: wanted for twenty damn right, I said, twenty dollars. I'll
Speaker 1: give us to you. I'll take it right now off
Speaker 1: your hands. He goes, yeah, twenty five. You got a deal.
Speaker 1: Twenty five. And I looked and I'm like, know what,
Speaker 1: I'm supporting the local community. Well twenty two. Nah, I,
Speaker 1: I didn't have fucking change. I'm gona get it. I'll
Speaker 1: give you twenty five dollars supporting local businesses. He gives
Speaker 1: me the bathing suit, he walks away, disappears into the ether.
Speaker 1: I looked on the en seam of the bathing suit.
Speaker 1: Tex says it's from prime Mark. From what Primark is
Speaker 1: that like Walmart? It's like a British Uh, It's like
Speaker 1: it's like one of those discount So it's probably nine
Speaker 1: dollars in the store and you paid twenty five pretty
Speaker 1: much pretty much that and then maybe that the patch
Speaker 1: cost a dollar. He sewed it on. Now did you go?
Speaker 1: So the I went on Claire style. I got that,
Speaker 1: get home, I get back to his house, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me try this on. It said it was a large,
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't go up my fucking thighs. Dude, it
Speaker 1: was a size small. So I can't even wear the
Speaker 1: damn thing. So if anybody's a size small to men
Speaker 1: medium mens, yeah, you know, I'll give you a free monk.
Speaker 1: Their bathing suit, which I wish came on, came on Walmart.
Speaker 1: Whatever is the crazy part though, is brody I put
Speaker 1: I put a poll out after I posted it. It
Speaker 1: sounds like your pole was all the way out with
Speaker 1: that's it really was. It was hanging out and I
Speaker 1: put the poll out and I said, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: it's a fake. Would you pay twenty five dollars? Is
Speaker 1: it worth it or what? Almost everybody was like seventy
Speaker 1: thirty percent that said nothing wrong with that, No shame
Speaker 1: in that game. Because I said, well, I said, well,
Speaker 1: anybody know, and they said no way. Most people said
Speaker 1: there's no shot anyone's gonna look at that and call
Speaker 1: me out for it being a fake. I guess people,
Speaker 1: you know people do that with handbags unless you really
Speaker 1: really know, you know, you did you Google Image these
Speaker 1: this para, it's the same patterne Yes, it looks it
Speaker 1: looks the same color. The only difference is that I
Speaker 1: could tell that's that's physical, that's visual on the outside.
Speaker 1: Is you know when they have the they yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess they're the the shoelace material that go around your
Speaker 1: waist and you tie into a bow. You know how
Speaker 1: the shoelace has the little plastic piece. Yeah. I have
Speaker 1: a family member that works for the company in New
Speaker 1: Jersey that makes those the little little tiny plastic plastic
Speaker 1: hard tips that so yeah, so in this case it's
Speaker 1: at the front of the bathing suit and you tie
Speaker 1: it into a bow. Whatever. Well, if you look at
Speaker 1: the the real Montclair those are made of like a
Speaker 1: little like almost like a metal and they have like
Speaker 1: a cap on it. My bathing suit it's made of
Speaker 1: clear plastic and there and there's no cap on it. Right,
Speaker 1: Those are called aglets. Aglets, So there's there's a problem
Speaker 1: with the ag lit. Okay, so let me ask you
Speaker 1: a question. Let's say that it was your size. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: let's say they fit beautifully. You paid twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2: You're not going to tell anyone they're fake, right, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: Let's say you're in the South of France and you're
Speaker 2: in a store and there's the same pair. You understand
Speaker 2: it is pointless to spend five hundred dollars for the
Speaker 2: exact same bathing suit minus the agletz you give it
Speaker 2: twenty five dollars.
Speaker 1: That's what the That's what most of the people on
Speaker 1: Instagram were telling me. They were like, it's stupid to
Speaker 1: even think about paying the five hundred.
Speaker 2: If you buy a knockoff Rolex, I could see it
Speaker 2: maybe not telling time as well, or not having their
Speaker 2: like the diamonds on it.
Speaker 1: But so there's a slight difference. It's still gonna tell
Speaker 1: you the time. If you buy a knockoff Gucci bag,
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like a Gucci bag. Yeah, maybe if
Speaker 1: you can like feel it a slight difference. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying ripoff designers. I'm not a fan of ripping
Speaker 1: off the creed. Yeah, because I know people are out
Speaker 1: there thinking about that right now, saying like, what are
Speaker 1: you what are you doing here? You're supporting the black market. Hey,
Speaker 1: nobody said what the guy look like? Dude? Please, I'm
Speaker 1: supporting that. It was a terrible joke. Oh no, you
Speaker 1: you you you're you're supporting like you know, people might
Speaker 1: have theft or but that's not.
Speaker 2: What I'm getting into. What I'm getting into is you're
Speaker 2: you're paying five hundred dollars for a bathing suit that's
Speaker 2: going to cover your balls when you go on a pool,
Speaker 2: and that's that's the purpose.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if it was going to disintegrate when
Speaker 1: I went in the water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yours, this the one you bought, probably wouldn't cover
Speaker 2: your balls because you bought a kid small.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was definitely here. Everything was off
Speaker 1: about this. I again, I will say, you're right, I
Speaker 1: probably should rethink buying real ones versus fake ones in
Speaker 1: anything going forward. Yeah, because I price right. I have
Speaker 1: a billionaire, a multimillionaire. Then to you five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for a bathing suit is like, no, shut up, dick,
Speaker 1: I will say, I talking about it. I said, if
Speaker 1: you're a millionaire, what's it doing you? I do you
Speaker 1: you call me a millionaire?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I said, if someone's a millionaire, a five hundreds a
Speaker 2: bathing suit is like nothing. I'll take your apology.
Speaker 1: Now anyway, not apologizing to the r S. All right,
Speaker 1: I have it. I went to France and I saved
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars off of a Montclair jacket. I bought
Speaker 1: an authentic Montclair jacket in France. Now's the scary. I know,
Speaker 1: that's the scary. Everyone, Well, this was This was like
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and now that I think
Speaker 1: about it, if I'm being honest, if I would have
Speaker 1: gotten that same jacket that was a fake with just
Speaker 1: the Montclair patch on it, I don't think anybody would
Speaker 1: know because everyone says, oh, it's a great jacket. Oh
Speaker 1: it's a Montclair. Oh nice. They don't scrutinize it. Nobody's
Speaker 1: ever questioned me if that was a reel or a fake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's real though, so they didn't nobody even if
Speaker 1: it was fake. When my point is, did you buy
Speaker 1: the jacket? Does it have the Is it the best
Speaker 1: looking jacket you've ever I love it. It's my favorite maroon.
Speaker 1: It's like a windbreaker jacket. It's beautiful. I love it.
Speaker 2: Is that the long one, the long puffy one not puffy, no,
Speaker 2: and but it's got it's long though, right, it's on
Speaker 2: your knees no, No.
Speaker 1: It's a jacket. It's it's just a springtime windbreaker jacket.
Speaker 1: It's maroon. Thinking of you, I liked it. I liked
Speaker 1: the color, it was unique. And the fact that I
Speaker 1: knew that I was getting all the tax, I wasn't
Speaker 1: paying tax and I was. It's a good deal. Then, yeah,
Speaker 1: because that same jacket in America a year later was
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars more. I believe something like that. Some stupids.
Speaker 1: Why people buy stuff and you're bring it back in
Speaker 1: South that's exactly well, I didn't sell it, but anyway,
Speaker 1: My point is had it been a knockoff, I probably
Speaker 1: no one would have would have called me out on it,
Speaker 1: all right, So anyway, so that so that's what I
Speaker 1: did there, all right. Now, Now back to Amsterdam. What
Speaker 1: did I do? Went to I walked to the Red
Speaker 1: Light district. Can you believe my friends didn't want to
Speaker 1: go there. They're like I might. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: and for no other reason, because of the history and
Speaker 1: it's the unique, most unique place in the war.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: My point is it's what it's famous for. You do
Speaker 1: the famous thing. Regardless, I'm not saying you actually a
Speaker 1: bibe in I'm not saying you're going you're walking into
Speaker 1: these rooms with these women and having prostitute and the
Speaker 1: Statue of liberty. In this case, the statue Liberty will
Speaker 1: be naked. It's a tourist thing. It's just it's sight
Speaker 1: to see. You gotta go to the red light district.
Speaker 2: There's naked people all over the and you have sex
Speaker 2: in the windows of storefronts.
Speaker 1: I waited till the last night, and I said to
Speaker 1: my friends, you pussies. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa wa No,
Speaker 1: oh wait, bad, bad choice of words. I said, what
Speaker 1: you're talking to the people? I said, what is your
Speaker 1: hang up about not walking through the red light district
Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes? Humor me. We're gonna take an uber there.
Speaker 1: I'll pay for the damn uber. We'll all go in
Speaker 1: the uber. We'll walk through the back and forth through
Speaker 1: the alleyways. We'll see the sights, we'll see what this
Speaker 1: the legend, the legacy, the main thing of this, what
Speaker 1: this city is known for. And we will take an
Speaker 1: uber back. And only two of my friends came with me.
Speaker 1: The rest said, nope, we're not coming. So we walked
Speaker 1: me Lloyd and Jay walked through the red light district.
Speaker 1: And uh, I gotta say the women were not trashy.
Speaker 1: That wasn't the trashy part. It was the filth on
Speaker 1: the streets walking up and down. It was the five
Speaker 1: hundred to one ratio men to women from around the
Speaker 1: world in like cat calling. The women in the wolf
Speaker 1: packs like they're going at the windows like yelling, and
Speaker 1: it felt like I was up about that about reading respectful. Well,
Speaker 1: it was brody. I swear it was no better than
Speaker 1: Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Sorry if you're a fan
Speaker 1: of anyone, but it's like it's filthy, it's crowded, it's disgusting.
Speaker 1: And those were the streets and then they honestly, they
Speaker 1: were red lights over each window. The women looked like
Speaker 1: they were something out of like Friggin' Fortnite or something
Speaker 1: or No No with Grand Theft Auto. It was like
Speaker 1: because it was like those type, but it was the
Speaker 1: women had these favorable, these beautiful light on them. Some
Speaker 1: of them I thought was AI themselves because it was
Speaker 1: didn't look real. But they were in the windows. They
Speaker 1: were like sucking lollipops. They were making like faces at
Speaker 1: the guy was like, hey, come on in here, and
Speaker 1: then if if the curtains were closed, then they were busy, occupied, occupied.
Speaker 1: And if the curtains were open, they were right there,
Speaker 1: and they were like hoping that you would literally open
Speaker 1: the door next to them and go in the room
Speaker 1: with them. But we didn't do that, of course we
Speaker 1: we just we walked up and down we saw we
Speaker 1: needed to see. It's an experience to check it and
Speaker 1: check it off. The box checks out.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like Chinatown in New York, except the
Speaker 2: Chinese food's naked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just have to see it. You have to
Speaker 1: experience it once. Will I go back there again, Probably not,
Speaker 1: but I would go back to Amsterdam though. It's one
Speaker 1: of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to. It was,
Speaker 1: it's gorgeous, lots of canals. Here's what I learned in
Speaker 1: the Netherlands. There's more canals in Amsterdam than there are
Speaker 1: in Venice. That's correct, all right. Eighty percent of all
Speaker 1: people in the Netherlands.
Speaker 2: Own a bicycle, own a bicycle, and they and they
Speaker 2: ride like maniacs in and out of the cars. And
Speaker 2: all the cars are like smart cars as small, so
Speaker 2: the parking spaces are ridiculously tiny. These bike You can't
Speaker 2: own a Dodge Charger in Amsterdam. No, kates aren't wide enough,
Speaker 2: these bike spaces aren't big enough.
Speaker 1: Brody. The people think all right, they all right, Brody
Speaker 1: just said the bikers whatever up and no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you have to understand slices, streams of biker traffic. They
Speaker 1: don't let up. You can't cross the street because there's
Speaker 1: so much. And again it's not one, and then another three,
Speaker 1: and then it's people. It's everybody, everybody. It's bike bike bike, bike, bike,
Speaker 1: bike bike stream and they will fucking run you over.
Speaker 1: If you're a pedestrian, you are not safe. These bikers
Speaker 1: own the fucking road right They have a pack mentality.
Speaker 1: And I scared for I was scared for my own
Speaker 1: life when I was in the ubers because they came so.
Speaker 2: Of the bikes that's right on, They ride right alongside you,
Speaker 2: they cut you off.
Speaker 1: They don't like how is it that? How is it
Speaker 1: that there's not more bike accidents every day. Harry Jones
Speaker 1: is the guy that hates bike lanes in New York
Speaker 1: City and went to the biking capital of the world.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was.
Speaker 2: Where everybody every because it's a very environmentally friendly city,
Speaker 2: so there's very few cars. It's it's all and you
Speaker 2: can walk everywhere. It's it's just it's a small city
Speaker 2: compared to New York. I don't know where you guys live, slices.
Speaker 2: You may be in a small city. It's not a
Speaker 2: big city. But you can walk around, but you really
Speaker 2: have to like look both ways because the bikes are like, take.
Speaker 1: Your feet off. They own the road. They like Italy
Speaker 1: where it's all vespas. So it's a bike. So it
Speaker 1: was fun. It was a good time there. It has
Speaker 1: a great food. My friends did all the all the
Speaker 1: food hunting. I was just sat there and I enjoyed
Speaker 1: all of it. And uh and then I went to, oh,
Speaker 1: the Vincent van Go Museum. Did you know what?
Speaker 4: Hi?
Speaker 1: Ah, that's a cut off your ear joke, ladies, Joe,
Speaker 1: thank you everybody yet, but Brody, I traveled all the way.
Speaker 1: You've got to go to van Go. That's what they say,
Speaker 1: Van Vincent van Go Museum. You know, my favorite painting
Speaker 1: of all time, Starry Night is the only one?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Well, no, is that the only one? Sunflowers? Okay, but
Speaker 1: hal's again no, no, you ready for the plot twist? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I go all the way to Amsterdam to the Vincent
Speaker 1: van Go Museum, and I'm like, oh, gotta see Starry Night. Wait,
Speaker 1: what do you mean Storry Night is not inside the
Speaker 1: Vincent van Go Museum, David Brody, do you know where
Speaker 1: Storry Night is?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 1: It's a museum of modern art in New York City.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. But could you imagine, dude, you
Speaker 1: would be the motherfucker trying to get your money back.
Speaker 1: What do you mean Story Night's not here? No, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't because I would have known them before. I researched
Speaker 1: my trip.
Speaker 2: Listen, when I go away, especially with my wife, she
Speaker 2: researches everything.
Speaker 1: There is nothing left a chance. She has restaurants, we're
Speaker 1: going to, street tours were going to. We don't wing anything.
Speaker 1: How is a museum called the Vincent Vang Museum. How
Speaker 1: does it not have its most popular painting? So the
Speaker 1: second most popular painting, Saw the Flowers, was in there. Okay, great, nice,
Speaker 1: It was all right. It was cool.
Speaker 2: Because paintings go on loan, they go on tour, people
Speaker 2: buy them and donate them to the museum.
Speaker 1: It's permanently at the moment in New York City, Yes,
Speaker 1: because somebody decided to put it there. But it's not
Speaker 1: like Van Gold gave it to them. Van went to
Speaker 1: New York City. So yeah, I love that you. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: And I learned about he went fucking crazy. He was
Speaker 1: admitted to an insane asylum. Yeah, because he was a
Speaker 1: nut job. He cut off his own ear. He got
Speaker 1: into a fight with Paul Gogan, the other painter staying
Speaker 1: with him whatever, I don't know. Then he cut off
Speaker 1: his ear and like impressed his ex girlfriend or something.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But on this last day he
Speaker 1: was going to paint something in the fields of Amsterdam
Speaker 1: and he basically just I guess he shot himself with
Speaker 1: a chest or he took a knife to the chest.
Speaker 1: I don't know. He killed himself, bludgeoned himself, died three
Speaker 1: days later. Awful ending. Anyway, Yeah, he had he had
Speaker 1: a fight with Paul Gogan, and uh, you're right, and
Speaker 1: then and then and then yeah, and then and then
Speaker 1: I will say, on a serious note, the Tulips, Oh no,
Speaker 1: that's a not serious note. The tulips went to the
Speaker 1: Tulip Festival. Did you tiptoe to the Tulips? It was great.
Speaker 1: I have a picture. I posted my picture of me
Speaker 1: amongst a field of tulips. That was a lot of
Speaker 1: on did you wear wooden shoes? The what do you
Speaker 1: call those clogs? Clogs? The wooden shoes, moccasins, no clogs anyway, no, uh.
Speaker 1: And then finally, uh, the frank Museum. Wow, that was
Speaker 1: very very moving. Thank you to my boy Nils, there's
Speaker 1: a radio broadcaster in Amsterdam. He was the one who
Speaker 1: hooked all of us up with these tickets. And uh,
Speaker 1: you get to go into the house, into the annex
Speaker 1: that they built, and then the original bookcase was there,
Speaker 1: the bookcase that was basically the the passageway to the
Speaker 1: hidden department. They're the hidden apartment, and we got to
Speaker 1: walk through it. We walked through the apartment, the room
Speaker 1: where Anne and her sister Margo stayed, and and it
Speaker 1: was it was very eerie. It was very eerie. And
Speaker 1: then and then we went into the room all the
Speaker 1: other rooms back there. And I didn't think they were
Speaker 1: we were going to be able to get.
Speaker 4: That far in.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that you actually get to physically walk
Speaker 1: through it. But yeah, they had to remain silent like
Speaker 1: all day because there were people working in that house
Speaker 1: in that area, and I don't know how Neils pulled
Speaker 1: it off. We got the bonus VIP VIP tour where
Speaker 1: they said, we usually don't we usually don't show Otto's
Speaker 1: office the father, but that's not really part of the tour.
Speaker 1: But we're going to take you in there. So they
Speaker 1: brought us behind the barricades with one key that unlocks
Speaker 1: the office store, and they brought all my friends and I,
Speaker 1: all of us into the my friends and me. You're
Speaker 1: gonna correct me now now, that brought us into her
Speaker 1: father's office, which pretty much looked like it did in
Speaker 1: the nineteen forties because very little had changed. And we're
Speaker 1: standing there and brodium out of that man. The importance
Speaker 1: of Otto, Frank, I don't know. I mean well, I
Speaker 1: mean I was saying he was the one, he was
Speaker 1: the only survivor, and then he was the one who chronicled,
Speaker 1: he got he got her works out there. He was
Speaker 1: the one who held him and his sister in law.
Speaker 1: No somebody else was was at or was it next
Speaker 1: of kin. Anyway, he was a major part of the
Speaker 1: reason why exactly we know the story his office has
Speaker 1: gotta be awesome. Chills, chills, and my friends are looking
Speaker 1: at me and they're like, fucking Scary Jones. Man, he
Speaker 1: somehow pulled the Scary Jones in another country in one
Speaker 1: of the most important pieces of the twentieth century history
Speaker 1: history house with one of the most important pieces of work,
Speaker 1: crazy that chronicles the most awful time in one of
Speaker 1: the most awful times in the world's history. And you
Speaker 1: find a way to open a velvet rope and get
Speaker 1: in somewhere else. I got in. I got into the
Speaker 1: Dad's office, not even I can't. It's dude, no words. Man,
Speaker 1: that was a very big highlight. And I would have
Speaker 1: been pissed if I would not have gotten into the
Speaker 1: would have caused the scene at Dan frank House. No,
Speaker 1: if I would have been upset because I would go
Speaker 1: all the way to Amsterdam. When are they gonna go
Speaker 1: back to Amsterdam? I got to the places to conquer. Yeah, well, listen,
Speaker 1: you go back to the same four countries a lot.
Speaker 1: You could go back to Amsterdam. I listen. I so
Speaker 1: imagine how you felt and how what you experienced going there,
Speaker 1: and then imagine what it's like to be Jewish and
Speaker 1: go there. Yeah, and know that they went through that
Speaker 1: simply because of being born and learning different fables than
Speaker 1: other people. Stories I took. We took the audio tour,
Speaker 1: so I learned a lot. Yeah, so what we did
Speaker 1: he had the headphones on. Yeah, yep. They did a
Speaker 1: nice job with that.
Speaker 2: You know what's great is that house used to be
Speaker 2: one of like a whole street full of old houses.
Speaker 2: But now it's like it's it's right on the water.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And how about that. Did you see the Chinese restaurant? No,
Speaker 2: the giant Chinese restaurant on the water.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't see that. Oh yeah, huge.
Speaker 2: But they they stuck a museum on the side of it,
Speaker 2: so you go in like this modern building that leads
Speaker 2: you into what's.
Speaker 1: Left of the house. Amazing what they did. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you got to go. And the other thing I learned
Speaker 1: in Holland or sorry, in Amsterdam is that, yes, it
Speaker 1: is the Netherlands. Okay, I learned their flag. It's it's

Speaker 1: trip and I'm seeing all these great places he's going to. Now,
Speaker 1: I went to Amstamp my wife, and I gotta tell you,

Speaker 1: beauty of the of the city.
Speaker 2: I mean, even the red light district was We had
Speaker 2: fun walking together as a couple, but like, it's such
Speaker 2: a beautiful romantic We took canal rides, like if I
Speaker 2: went with Scary or my boys, like, it wouldn't have
Speaker 2: been the same. And this whole time, I'm thinking, boy,
Speaker 2: you know, Scary is not the romantic type, but it's
Speaker 2: hard to not be romantic in this city.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's his boys. It's this week away
Speaker 1: with the boys. I get it. And then he puts

Speaker 1: time and we get to the party and Jason says,

Speaker 1: We were driving with an hour drive, and I brought
Speaker 1: it up to her and I told her that even
Speaker 1: though it's your birthday weekend, that's the best weekend all
Speaker 1: the guys could go. Would you allow Scury to go?
Speaker 1: So they guilted her. I don't know if they guilted
Speaker 1: her or if you had nothing to do with putting
Speaker 1: them up to it. Let's be clear, zero very so
Speaker 1: as you stood your ground, I stood my ground. And
Speaker 1: he said, and she said, she goes, you know what,
Speaker 1: you only turned fifty once. She goes, she goes, and
Speaker 1: it's not a big birthday for me. If it was
Speaker 1: a big birthday, I'd have a problem with it. Fuck it,
Speaker 1: that's how cool my girlfriend is. David Brody, She said, yeah,
Speaker 1: go let him go. Yeah, absolutely, you guys go okay,
Speaker 1: But you realize she's not going to tell you a
Speaker 1: friend and his girlfriend in a car. No, she's not
Speaker 1: gonna say to him. Well, I didn't feel like she
Speaker 1: was cornered, So that is the other thing that Well.
Speaker 1: I went back to her. Then afterwards, I said, are
Speaker 1: you sure you're okay with this? Because you were in
Speaker 1: a weird sit situation in their car and he was
Speaker 1: a conversation. She's going to say, I feel like that.
Speaker 1: She goes, No, she goes, I'm really okay with it.
Speaker 1: Trust me, I'm okay with it. So so I I
Speaker 1: thank her for allowing me to go. Because so, tell us,
Speaker 1: tell us slices, what you brought her back from the Netherlands.
Speaker 1: What kind of what kind of ballpark? What kind of
Speaker 1: souvenir did you get her to thank her for this moment?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, we're going to celebrate, you know, we're going
Speaker 1: to celebrate her birthday and I'm going to get her
Speaker 1: a gift and we're gonna do it the right way.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. Why would you bring it back
Speaker 1: from Medlins. I'm just curious. What should I have brought
Speaker 1: her back. I didn't bring her back anything. So she
Speaker 1: got the story where your friend Jason girlfriend talked her
Speaker 1: out of wanting a souvenir. No you know that too. No,
Speaker 1: you know something. You didn't see one thing that said
Speaker 1: that would be my girlfriend. I love her. I think
Speaker 1: it'll buy a flower. I think it would have been
Speaker 1: offensive refrigerator now, because why would she want a remembrance
Speaker 1: of the time she let me go to Amsterdam and
Speaker 1: I fucked her over on her birthday? Does she really
Speaker 1: need a shot glass from fucking Amsterdam at that shot?
Speaker 1: Here's what you do.
Speaker 2: You go and buy her a piece of jewelry with
Speaker 2: like a diamond tulip or something that's Holland like Holland escort,
Speaker 2: something that says Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: Remark, so that you could go, honey, I couldn't. All
Speaker 1: I did was think about you while I was gone.
Speaker 1: I had a good time with the boys, but I
Speaker 1: was thinking to you. So I got you this picture
Speaker 1: of a naked lady in a store. Something I fucked up.
Speaker 1: It's not exactly a very romantic thing. You know that
Speaker 1: I gave her something. I went on trips.
Speaker 2: I always brought my wife's jewelry. If I could or something.
Speaker 2: I was like, Hey, listen, I went to the Bahamas.
Speaker 2: They sell turquoise. I got you his turquoise ring.
Speaker 1: You got nothing you didn't get her, like wooden shoes,
Speaker 1: like something that I make it up to her inother ways.
Speaker 1: I show my love in other ways I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: not big on buying souvenirs on vacation either. You buy
Speaker 1: her something that says I was thinking about you. I
Speaker 1: couldn't help but think about you while I was on
Speaker 1: a beach buying a bootleg bathing suit. God, you got
Speaker 1: to teach me how to be in a relationship, David Brother.
Speaker 1: Oh listen, I'm listen. My wife will tell you I'm
Speaker 1: not good at it, but I can tell you what
Speaker 1: you did wrong. All right? Moving on, moving on?
Speaker 2: Uh, I wrote a song because we were talking about
Speaker 2: I don't want to play the song yet. I wrote
Speaker 2: a song about the tipping culture we have in this country.
Speaker 2: I thought of it when I told you I went
Speaker 2: to the rock concert and the and the multi millionaire
Speaker 2: guitar player's son wanted me to tip him for handing
Speaker 2: me his shirt.
Speaker 1: Right, they turned that screen around.
Speaker 2: But then before I could play it on this podcast,
Speaker 2: my friend told me about a restaurant he went to
Speaker 2: in Miami.
Speaker 1: Scary to have the receipt. I sent you a text
Speaker 1: message with the receipt. Yes, I see the receipt right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: I pulled it up. Okay, restaurant, I want you to
Speaker 1: I don't know the name of the restaurants. I've not
Speaker 1: gotten the name yet, but on the receipt, if you look,
Speaker 1: he had sweet potato fries and h you got a
Speaker 1: glacier lagger and a burger and you know, sometimes they
Speaker 1: put in like if you're a party of five or more,
Speaker 1: it'll say like eighteen percent c or twity added to
Speaker 1: the tip, added to the check. Yep, I want you
Speaker 1: to tell me. He had no choice. It was already
Speaker 1: put on the I've never seen this. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: and then we'll play my song. Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 1: He was charged? Well, first of all, it's written three
Speaker 1: times the size and in bold, so they weren't hiding it.
Speaker 1: They were very proud to put this two point five
Speaker 1: percent kitchen appreciation tip on the bill for him. Thanks
Speaker 1: for deciding for such a thing kitchen appreciation. So I wondered,
Speaker 1: did he ask what that means? And who that goes to.
Speaker 2: Yes, they said, the kitchen staff that prepared your order.
Speaker 2: That's their tip, and it left the spot for him
Speaker 2: to tip the waitress.
Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, so the waitress gets your tips. Wait,
Speaker 1: the waitress doesn't share the tips with everybody else.
Speaker 2: When you are a waitress, depending on the restaurant, you
Speaker 2: tip out the bartender, the bus boy, but you you don't.
Speaker 2: You rarely tip out the cooks unless they did you
Speaker 2: a favor, like if they did a fast remake for
Speaker 2: you because you messed up the order and they get
Speaker 2: you a remake right away, you might give them a
Speaker 2: little something. Hey, thanks for hooking me up. Make sure
Speaker 2: I got you know, got the food out quickly. But look,
Speaker 2: I've no offense to anyone who slices if you work
Speaker 2: in the restaurant. I worked in kitchens for years, so
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this is someone who doesn't, you know, relate.
Speaker 2: When you work in the kitchen, you make, even if
Speaker 2: it's not a great salary.
Speaker 1: You you get minimum wage at least, right, yeah, you
Speaker 1: get you get whatever the minimum wages in your state
Speaker 1: minimum that's why they call minimum wage. You're making eleven
Speaker 1: twelve fifteen dollars an hour. Whatever. Well, again, your state
Speaker 1: could be different. But if you're a waitress, you make
Speaker 1: like two bucks an hour and you live off of tips?
Speaker 1: Do this place has decided, whether you like it or not,
Speaker 1: you are paying a two point five percent kitchen appreciation tip,
Speaker 1: whether you appreciated the kitchen or not. Correct. What if
Speaker 1: you ordered a drink and you didn't even order a burger?
Speaker 1: You just have to pay the kitchen appreciation tip. I
Speaker 1: guess you do. And what if I pay with a
Speaker 1: credit card? Am I getting banged for four more percent
Speaker 1: for paying with a credit card? Holy shit? So he
Speaker 1: had a burger and a couple of drinks. He's walking
Speaker 1: out with a sixty dollar bill plus he's tipping the kitchen, yep,
Speaker 1: and he's tipping the waitress. A tip for what? That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: A tip for what?
Speaker 1: A tip for what?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Exactly, I was going for?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 8: Got it?
Speaker 4: Go?
Speaker 1: What's different? You just di what you just did?
Speaker 4: What for? What?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Get another course? All right? This is uh a little
Speaker 1: weight lengthy here tip for what you really did? You
Speaker 1: really need that? You checked the square? Very angry, very
Speaker 1: angry for what you've got?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, bo my goodness, A tip for what? A tip for?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: A tip for what? I do feel bad for the
Speaker 1: kitchen staff, though as a as a person you got
Speaker 1: to see both sides of it. Yeah, in the kitchen
Speaker 1: when I was a waiter, no, I would sometimes cop
Speaker 1: a tip and we didn't share. We shared with each other.
Speaker 1: We pulled it. But then the people in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: they got squat because because they because they're getting paid
Speaker 1: a full salary, well are they? Though they usually be
Speaker 1: the ones being taken advantage of it, and they usually
Speaker 1: get paid the least there rener cent.
Speaker 2: They should get paid more money in most places, but
Speaker 2: the waitress gets paid two thirty cents or three do
Speaker 2: whatever the minimum wages for waitresses.
Speaker 1: Let me see what it is now, Hold on what
Speaker 1: I do think is happening here in this Pacific restaurant,
Speaker 1: And I do think that they pay them so low
Speaker 1: that it's embarrassing in the kitchen, and you are footing
Speaker 1: the bill for the rest of their salary to compensate
Speaker 1: to make something decent. I don't know, Brodie, this is
Speaker 1: this is really mind boggling. So anyway, all right, but
Speaker 1: imagine that never heard of it, all right, kitchen appreciation.
Speaker 1: We're running so late today.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I want to just if I could
Speaker 2: take take a minute. I want to talk about what
Speaker 2: I did and I need your opinion on something that
Speaker 2: happened afterwards.
Speaker 1: Okay, go for it.
Speaker 2: So I told you on the on Slice time that
Speaker 2: I went. I went out with my cousin and we
Speaker 2: were spotted at car Mines and someone said, oh, I
Speaker 2: tell you what your wife, But it wasn't my wife
Speaker 2: was my cousin. So we went to car Mines and

Speaker 2: around the world of car Mines. Anyway, he sits down.
Speaker 1: With us, the two of us at the table, and
Speaker 1: the waitress comes over and says, oh, I've ever been
Speaker 1: here before. So Glenn laughs.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I've been coming here for like twenty
Speaker 2: five years. So she says, oh, I let me take
Speaker 2: what the specials are, and my cousin says, oh, I'll
Speaker 2: have that. That sounds great. I'll have the chicken special.
Speaker 2: There's only two of us, so I say I'd like
Speaker 2: the chicken palm please, she says to me, scary me,
Speaker 2: palm pockets. She says, you know it's it's six pieces
Speaker 2: of chicken.
Speaker 1: It's really big.
Speaker 2: Well like that was supposed to scare you. Yeah, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that that's why I come here. That coming here for
Speaker 2: twenty five years. I have to have the chicken palm.
Speaker 1: Just it's a lot of food for the table. I
Speaker 1: take it to go. I ordered the big clams.
Speaker 2: I can't go to without getting the bag clams, the
Speaker 2: best fucking big clams on the planet. And she's like,
Speaker 2: you realize it's like a whole plate of check. I go, yes,
Speaker 2: I understand. And Glenn's laughing his ass off. He says, Door,
Speaker 2: you don't understand. He would live here if he could
Speaker 2: live here. In fact, he said to me, you should
Speaker 2: work here. I go, what, because, yeah, you should work here.
Speaker 1: You know the food, you know, the the breast.
Speaker 2: I go, question, I gain I gain one hundred pounds
Speaker 2: a week. Anyway, So we go to the Broadway show.
Speaker 2: We went to see Appropriate, which is a relatively new
Speaker 2: show on Broadway. You know, Sarah Paulson is right, of course,
Speaker 2: in the morning show, a bunch of times. She's the
Speaker 2: star of the show. She's one of the three kids.
Speaker 2: It's it's a show about three families who inherit their
Speaker 2: father's house and everything he owns when he passes away
Speaker 2: and what they find in the house.
Speaker 1: It's fucking hilarious. And Corey Stole is in it. You
Speaker 1: know Corey Stole is. He was in House of Cards,
Speaker 1: he was in Billions, in You Know What, in Aunt Man,
Speaker 1: he played Yellowjacket in the ant Men movies. He's terrific.
Speaker 2: One of the best show as I've seen in a
Speaker 2: long time. And I think it's only running from the
Speaker 2: month or two I put up on Instagram. But definitely
Speaker 2: go see appropriate on Broadway. Yeah, I doesn't tell you
Speaker 2: anything right about the show. While we're talking about Broadway shows,
Speaker 2: I went to see one last night.
Speaker 1: I went to see Hell's Kitchen. The show Basket Alicia
Speaker 1: Keys is life loosely based excellent, excellent show. And the
Speaker 1: girl who plays Alicia, what a set of chops on
Speaker 1: her pipes? Pipes pipes chops pipe Oh, chop chops is
Speaker 1: musical chops, Okay, musical chops whatever, But she was so
Speaker 1: it's basically the music of Alicia Keys and it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's based in you know, Hell's Kitchen, the neighborhood in
Speaker 1: New York City where Alicia grew up. And it was
Speaker 1: again they said, loosely based on her life. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much of it is true or false or
Speaker 1: how much was uh was part of the embellish.
Speaker 8: Show.
Speaker 1: The highlights for me was the choreography with the dance beautiful.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all very set in the late
Speaker 1: in like the nineties. There's a lot of like nineties
Speaker 1: style dancing. A lot of reminded me of like the
Speaker 1: TLC esque days with the what they were wearing, the
Speaker 1: Fu boo and the Tommy Hill figure, you know, those
Speaker 1: oversized shirts and stuff. It was really really cool to
Speaker 1: see that. Actually, so that's that would be like mid nineties, right.
Speaker 1: And the four or five leads, Oh my god, their
Speaker 1: voices they were so powerful. I look over at Robin.
Speaker 1: She's crying so mission accomplished?
Speaker 2: Was she enjoying the show? Is she thinking about how
Speaker 2: you left her to go to Amsterdam? You are the
Speaker 2: son of a bitch, Okay, so let me love the show, Robin?
Speaker 1: And I said, Robin, why are you crying? And She's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know when a show is good, it just
Speaker 1: gets to me, man.
Speaker 4: It just you know.
Speaker 1: She was all in her feelings good. I had to
Speaker 1: tell you I didn't cry during appropriate. But there's a
Speaker 1: couple of scenes that are very funny. But there's a
Speaker 1: reel at one point involving a kid. That's all I'll say.
Speaker 1: One of the kids in the show. I thought my
Speaker 1: eyes were going to pop out of my head. It
Speaker 1: was so ridiculously funny. You don't expect it. It was amazing.
Speaker 2: The show is fantastic. But I want to tell you
Speaker 2: about two things. A couple of times during the show.
Speaker 1: I heard music.
Speaker 2: I heard like, what's the Neil Diamond song Sweet Caroline? Yep,
Speaker 2: and it sort of fit in with the show. We
Speaker 2: were sitting on the orchestra, but a little towards the back,
Speaker 2: and in the back is the exit to the theater
Speaker 2: right most theaters, so we weren't. We were maybe like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, sixty to fifty sixty feet from the street,
Speaker 2: and I've never heard a sound inside of a theater,
Speaker 2: but I hear I'm here in Sweet Caroline. Then I'm
Speaker 2: hearing like other eighties songs, which is weird because it
Speaker 2: fit into the show at some points. Then it was
Speaker 2: a couple of points where it didn't make sense in
Speaker 2: the show. It sounded like someone was upstairs in the
Speaker 2: house listening to music, and the scene was taking place
Speaker 2: in the living room. So I'm like, all right, I
Speaker 2: guess I guess they're trying to say, like this, people
Speaker 2: upstairs listening to music. And so after the show, I
Speaker 2: go outside, and you know what a handsome cab is. No,
Speaker 2: a handsome cab is like it's like a rickshaw. It's
Speaker 2: a it's a little wagon and a guy peddling a bicycle.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and it's and these days that they're all
Speaker 1: decked out with you know, like glitch lights and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I think the handsome cabs are like the
Speaker 1: horse and they play loud music, right, so all of them.
Speaker 2: What they do is like if you go, like we
Speaker 2: went to a Harry Styles concert with my daughter, when
Speaker 2: you come out, they're all playing Harry Styles of course, right,
Speaker 2: they're trying to appeal to you.
Speaker 1: Get in them, get it, get in and take a ride.
Speaker 1: These particular cab whatever you call them, These these uh,
Speaker 1: these rides were mimicking the music of the musicals on Broadway,
Speaker 1: Diamond Musical. So they were playing Neil Diamond, right, but
Speaker 1: they I was hearing it in the theater and the
Speaker 1: like I could faintly hear it. Oh okay, So they
Speaker 1: were blasting lights and it's like sweet Carol, but you
Speaker 1: can hear from like five blocks that circle. So we, uh,
Speaker 1: we were parked right across the street at the garage.
Speaker 2: So as we're waiting for our car, the cops pull
Speaker 2: one of them over and they take apart his entire
Speaker 2: thing and they're measuring the speaker sizes and they're measuring everything.
Speaker 1: They're regulated regulated. It's too loud because they were really
Speaker 1: like probably got their decibel meters out too, Yes, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: so I think they got this. One guy got a
Speaker 1: ticket because he's blasting this Neil Diamond music and attract
Speaker 1: people to get into his ride. Hilarious, unbelievable jockey for
Speaker 1: position over there, here's the kicker. What's that? You know?
Speaker 1: I want to tip the driver in the valet parking
Speaker 1: in the garage of course, Now, how much do you
Speaker 1: give five bucks? What valet not valet like in a
Speaker 1: car garage parking car? Well, seeing that the seeing that
Speaker 1: the cost of parking is in New York City is
Speaker 1: forty dollars, Yes, folks, forty dollars to park your car
Speaker 1: in New York City. Mine was thirty three, all right.
Speaker 1: It's usually between thirty and forty, okay, maybe even fifty sometimes.
Speaker 1: I always, I always throw them a fiver, always give
Speaker 1: them five bucks as all right. Well, that kind of
Speaker 1: shit's on my story, but i'll tell you the story.
Speaker 1: I'll take it for it.
Speaker 2: So we have to go back to Carmines because we
Speaker 2: put up, we left all our leftovers and the refrigerator.
Speaker 2: They do me a favor because you can't bring the
Speaker 2: leftovers into the Broadway show. So Glenn's like, I'll put
Speaker 2: the leftovers in the refrigerator. So we walk back to
Speaker 2: car Mines, which is east of west of Times Square,
Speaker 2: and the theaters on is east of Times Square. Sure,
Speaker 2: we cross over Times Score on forty fourth Street, and
Speaker 2: we get our leftovers. And I say to my cousin,
Speaker 2: I don't have any change. I only have a ten
Speaker 2: dollar bill. Then they get they get nothing then, right,
Speaker 2: So I don't want to not give him a tip.
Speaker 2: I want to give him like two three dollars. I
Speaker 2: give him like two three dollars. I don't have a
Speaker 2: BMW like you do. So, and I figure it's not
Speaker 2: the car.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a nice to car. I got to
Speaker 1: give him big a tip. But okay, you told Elvis
Speaker 1: you agree with me. Shut up. Elvis drives in with
Speaker 1: a fancy call.
Speaker 2: I gotta give a bigger tip because it's because damage
Speaker 2: to the car is more valuable. Anyway, So I'm in
Speaker 2: Times Square and I said to my cousin, what do
Speaker 2: you got? Just only have a five? I go, well,
Speaker 2: I gotta get a change.
Speaker 1: No, you don't give him a five. My cousin says,
Speaker 1: give him the five. I go, I don't want to
Speaker 1: give a five. Yes, I don't have a job because
Speaker 1: of him. Three doesn't matter. No, okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well were regardless. Okay.
Speaker 2: So so I'm like, I gotta get changed. So I
Speaker 2: go up to the ice cream truck and I say,
Speaker 2: can I how much ice cream? I'm figuring ice creams
Speaker 2: like three dollars? I got a ten dollar bill in
Speaker 2: my pocket. He says, uh, it was like it was
Speaker 2: like seven dollars.
Speaker 1: I said. I'm like, I'm on pay spend a seven
Speaker 1: dollars ice cream? So I go over into the food truck.
Speaker 1: I go, hey, how much for how much for the soda?
Speaker 1: They go four bucks? Are you four bucks for a soda?
Speaker 6: For a can?
Speaker 1: You can make the change. Now it's a dollar. You
Speaker 1: get get a good dollar? Fine, So I can't I
Speaker 1: get a dollar. I can't even get change for the
Speaker 1: five There was nothing in Time Square. So finally we
Speaker 1: walked out.
Speaker 2: We walked onto the block and there's another another, a
Speaker 2: sou blocky cart, and the guy's got Kansas soda.
Speaker 1: I go, how much for the can of soda? He says?
Speaker 1: Two fifty? I go, I'll take it.
Speaker 2: So I got the can of soda. I got a
Speaker 2: two fifty cents. I tipped the guy two fifty at
Speaker 2: the garage.
Speaker 1: I'd have change. You didn't need change. It was five bucks.
Speaker 1: You give him five bucks. I've never given five bucks
Speaker 1: to a back slices. This is my friend, David Brody.
Speaker 1: Thank you. He will run himself ragged through Times Square
Speaker 1: and have to get something out of the damn deal.
Speaker 1: So he gets his soda. Yeah, just to chip tip
Speaker 1: them less, when all he could have done was save
Speaker 1: himself the time and the energy and hand the guy
Speaker 1: the five dollar bill. Make his night and drive off
Speaker 1: into the sunset. And you don't need a soda. In retrospect,
Speaker 1: maybe I should have done that. Either way, you spend
Speaker 1: five bucks. Either way, five dollars was gone from your pocket.
Speaker 1: But I got a soda for the right home. Who cares?
Speaker 1: I didn't need it? All right, diabetes, So you give
Speaker 1: five dollars at the garage every time, always, And by
Speaker 1: the way, it's ditabees and it was diet soda. I
Speaker 1: was imitating and form oh okay, diabetes and like when
Speaker 1: people say turlet, yeah, same people. Wow, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: now a tip for what next episode. I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you about the night that I had in Marbia with
