Speaker 1: Start Data, start Up. Brooklyn Boys, start up, Brooklyn Boys,
Speaker 1: start data. They make it noise Data start up, episode
Speaker 1: two forty. Oh you looked it up this time, the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys podcast. But you didn't think I knew that. No,
Speaker 1: you asked me right before we go on, and I
Speaker 1: tell you and you say, sure, can you check it check?
Speaker 1: Plenty of time to look it up today. I mean nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing but time. I mean, after all, we are I
Speaker 1: mean on vacation, I mean, at least at the morning.
Speaker 1: The Morning Show took a two week break, and this
Speaker 1: is week one of a two week break. And I
Speaker 1: can tell you from my standpoint, Normally I don't do
Speaker 1: a podcast on the week's off. Traditionally I'm on to
Speaker 1: I'm on a five month break from the morning show.
Speaker 1: So it's very relaxing. Yeah. So, but it's uh, we
Speaker 1: decided because last week was just so busy that, um
Speaker 1: I decided, I don't know. We decided that let's let's
Speaker 1: let's skip a week and then we'll do one and
Speaker 1: then we'll be off again next week. Right, So, and
Speaker 1: you have a cruise, are you spread it out a
Speaker 1: little bit? Yep? I'm going on a cruise this weekend.
Speaker 1: So you're yeah, so so instead of doing three weeks
Speaker 1: without the boys, it's only a week, one week off,
Speaker 1: So none of this free dessert business. We don't want
Speaker 1: to get an email or texts. No, No, everyone's been
Speaker 1: pretty good about it. Everyone's been like understanding and like
Speaker 1: excited that we're doing it this week this way. Rather
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have a two week break. You
Speaker 1: have a one week break, right, kind of like that
Speaker 1: you guys have earned you guys have definitely earned the
Speaker 1: one week break. I appreciate that. And you know, for
Speaker 1: some people like Justin fall Haber, who wrote to us
Speaker 1: at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com, well
Speaker 1: he'll hear his email later on, later on in a
Speaker 1: few uh in a few months, because he, for some reason,
Speaker 1: it will never know that we took this two week break.
Speaker 1: He said that, first of all, he if there's any
Speaker 1: grammar mistakes, he doesn't give a fuck. Um, I've got
Speaker 1: fat thumbs and a small phone. Um on, I'm on
Speaker 1: episode fifty six and listening in order trying to catch up.
Speaker 1: You motherfucker's keep me sane and entertained at work. Thank
Speaker 1: you for the podcast and all the laughs is Brodie's
Speaker 1: life really like Larry David's life this much? Or is
Speaker 1: that the money right or is it just that they
Speaker 1: have the same personality. Fuck Agnes gave the seven Fun Roberta,
Speaker 1: fuck food food food Chinese and fuck the old plane,
Speaker 1: Flying Fox, fun Taco Bell and all other fast food
Speaker 1: drive throughs. And fuck United, which, by the way, was
Speaker 1: it's funny because he's listening to these older episodes and
Speaker 1: we must have like given a little f you to
Speaker 1: United back then. Um, everything old is new again because
Speaker 1: recently had we had another issue with United. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's it still applies. Hopefully I hear this in
Speaker 1: six months this email I gotta I gotta d M
Speaker 1: and I'm so sorry. I don't remember who it's from.
Speaker 1: But they're not gonna hear this for another two years.
Speaker 1: They said, Oh my god, I'm laughing. Uh, it's so true.
Speaker 1: Fat guy shoelaces for episode four? So was that two
Speaker 1: thirty six episodes to go? Roughly? You need them slip
Speaker 1: on man, no shoelaces. Yeah, well, I'm I'm very cognizant
Speaker 1: of how I tie my shoelaces now that I've heard
Speaker 1: myself talk about fat guy shoelaces. So um, alright, so
Speaker 1: I guess we'll get to some more email a little while.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, do you do you speak of flights?
Speaker 1: Do you does it ruin your entire vacation or mood?
Speaker 1: Or do you dread having a layover on like a
Speaker 1: three hour flight with a layover? Yes? I hate it.
Speaker 1: If I could, I will pay extra for no connection,
Speaker 1: because there's so much ship that can go wrong. First
Speaker 1: of all, your first plane could arrive late, as has
Speaker 1: happened to me, and then the second plane takes off
Speaker 1: without you in it. Number two, your bags may not transfer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it opens up unnecessary like bs you know.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, if we're being you could call me
Speaker 1: booge all you want. No, no, no, I asked for
Speaker 1: a reason. Well, let me ask you one more question.
Speaker 1: I'll pay. I'll pay top dollar for a connector for
Speaker 1: an option. Let's just say that it was not an option.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have the layover on the way to
Speaker 1: your vacation and then it's in the past behind you,
Speaker 1: you're done? But yeah, you're dreading leaving your house? Or
Speaker 1: would you rather have it at the end where you're
Speaker 1: not thinking about it? You fly down in one fly,
Speaker 1: you have a great time, and then you're going home.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're not the rush you get home anyway, So
Speaker 1: which way would you rather have? The former? The not
Speaker 1: the ladder? The I would uh, I would like it
Speaker 1: on the way down. This way gets erased. Nice relaxing vacation,
Speaker 1: direct flight back? Yeah right? So right, well double fail then,
Speaker 1: because my trip home from our trip is a layover
Speaker 1: in Atlanta? What is oh how long? Uh? Our nothing?
Speaker 1: Nothing major? But sometimes I like to get creative, right,
Speaker 1: and this is where we may require a a multi
Speaker 1: leg trip. Whereas if you know that it doesn't fly direct,
Speaker 1: why not go to the first destination if it's a
Speaker 1: cool destination and hang out for a night and then
Speaker 1: take the next flight the next day? Or is that
Speaker 1: too much and I have to I have to meet
Speaker 1: a cruise ship, so I don't have that option, okay,
Speaker 1: and then flying back, uh you know, Atlanta, Atlanta is
Speaker 1: a nice city. I just want to get home, so
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. If it was it was
Speaker 1: a city I really wanted to see, then I would
Speaker 1: consider doing that, But no, that's not the case. So anyway,
Speaker 1: it's just curious because I'm dreading it. I'm dreading that,
Speaker 1: you know, because like, for instance, when we went to
Speaker 1: Elvis's wedding in Santa Fe. Because Santa Fe is a
Speaker 1: small town, it's like a forty minute trip to an airport.
Speaker 1: We took a commuter plane where I thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna I a small like a three row with one
Speaker 1: aisle in the middle, you know, a little plane. We
Speaker 1: took that again for Elvis. I did it, but I wouldn't,
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't normally volunteer to do that. And
Speaker 1: I took that to where do we go? Colorado? Maybe?
Speaker 1: I don't remember where we where? Where we landed. It
Speaker 1: was a nice airport out of uh. I don't remember
Speaker 1: where it was anyway, whatever wed was it Denver? Okay?
Speaker 1: So we had to go to maybe we had to
Speaker 1: go to Denver. Well, you land approximately in Las Vegas
Speaker 1: and have to run across the airport the entire length
Speaker 1: of Colorado to get to the connecting flight. And the
Speaker 1: people movers weren't working. And I had had my luggage
Speaker 1: because you get off this little commuter plane, they give
Speaker 1: you the luggage. It's not like the airport hands you.
Speaker 1: So I had to take the luggage and and a
Speaker 1: bunch of us were running across the airport because the
Speaker 1: flight was like forty minutes from taking off. And it's
Speaker 1: touch's terrible. Honestly, it's the most I've run in a lifetime.
Speaker 1: A lot of stress, a lot of stress, a lot
Speaker 1: of stress. So that's the part I'm out looking forward
Speaker 1: to is I gotta go home now, and got a
Speaker 1: land in Atlanta. Sorry, I'm in a bit of a
Speaker 1: funk here. I don't know. I was telling you earlier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you sound down for a guy on a vacation, I
Speaker 1: mean to me. To me, it's like a weekend vacations
Speaker 1: in Miami for jingle Ball Miami. You're in Fort Lauderdale
Speaker 1: and it was great time and it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: seventy eight degrees and sunshine. Yeah. I come home Monday afternoon.
Speaker 1: I forget how cold it is here, just that that
Speaker 1: Newark wind just smacks me right upside the head. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this isn't a Sinatra song, the Newark wind keeling in
Speaker 1: blowing in the Newark wind. Well, we're recording this on
Speaker 1: December twenty second two, So today's date is one two
Speaker 1: two two two oh two two, which some people would
Speaker 1: get a kick out of That's why I said it.
Speaker 1: Play that number. It's good number. Play the number. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so it's Thursday. By the weekend we're supposed to
Speaker 1: have a bomb cyclone and historic wind and rain and
Speaker 1: freezing temperatures and flights canceled. So I'm hoping to get
Speaker 1: the hell out of here. But enjoy the weather, my
Speaker 1: friend while you're home. Yeah, well thanks. You know, I
Speaker 1: came back for tw two weeks of this, but I
Speaker 1: didn't do any of my hadn't done, hadn't done any
Speaker 1: of Christmas shopping. Today I was out of the mall
Speaker 1: and it was raining. It was disgusting, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just not even in the mood for this. And
Speaker 1: I was just trying to find gifts and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you obviously did all your shopping. Hanukah is underway. You
Speaker 1: get anything good? You get anything good? Uh? Me? Yeah? So, um,
Speaker 1: I got let's say I'll go in order. My kids
Speaker 1: got me some really cool Marvel t shirts that I love.
Speaker 1: I got a Deadpool shirt. I got an Avengers shirt.
Speaker 1: Um my wife got me. Oh, I'm gonna go in
Speaker 1: reverse order, so you let's see, Okay, hold I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go back here. My wife got me ad your leather jacket.
Speaker 1: I say the name because it's boogie like you. It's
Speaker 1: like butter. It's the nicest jacket I've ever owned, is
Speaker 1: it really? Yeah? Yeah, it's my wife did right by me.
Speaker 1: That's cool because you know what, you know why it
Speaker 1: might tell you went to Bloomingdale's. We were shopping, yes,
Speaker 1: and uh, I saw that hoodie I loved. I was
Speaker 1: like a cant aforid that Hoodie' never gonna spend that
Speaker 1: much of my own hoodie. And we were trying on
Speaker 1: leather jackets and a couple of them because I don't
Speaker 1: normally wear leather jackets. You know, I was like winter coats,
Speaker 1: like ski coats, and you know, waterproof jackets. I wear
Speaker 1: like casual you know, I don't care what happens to
Speaker 1: them jackets. And so she made me trying to sway
Speaker 1: jacket a couple leather jackets, and she gave me that look.
Speaker 1: You know though you look you should dress up more often.
Speaker 1: You look good in that leather jacket, which is nice
Speaker 1: from your wife to get that look or your girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Am I right? Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah, Okay, So I got
Speaker 1: this leather jacket that I never would bought myself, and
Speaker 1: it's one of those that looks good zipped up, but
Speaker 1: looks even better when it's open. So very happy with
Speaker 1: that with that purchase, although I have a minor complaint
Speaker 1: that I'll learned to live with. The Europeans are fed up,
Speaker 1: let up with the European cut, Italian cut, French cut, whatever.
Speaker 1: The zippers on the wrong side. Yeah, we've actually talked
Speaker 1: about that on this podcast. It used to be growing up.
Speaker 1: I don't and again I don't know why this was
Speaker 1: the case, but for all intents and purposes, and again
Speaker 1: just let me put this at this claimer out there,
Speaker 1: because in case you identify as something else. We were
Speaker 1: told that male jackets for that were intended for males
Speaker 1: men where the zipper was on one side and jackets
Speaker 1: and zippers on you know, for females were on the
Speaker 1: other side. And that was just it. It was like
Speaker 1: right and left whatever. Don't tweet me, but now, well,
Speaker 1: it's just a European thing or a style thing. There's
Speaker 1: no rhyme or reason. I think I own one jacket
Speaker 1: where it's on the wrong side what I call the
Speaker 1: wrong side, But that's just wrong for me because I'm
Speaker 1: just used to the other way my whole life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but no, no, no, no, you know, I googled why
Speaker 1: the European jackets have the zipper on the other side,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of different betweetus. I'll know why
Speaker 1: did they drive on the other side of the road? No, no,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. It says your why um, European
Speaker 1: royalty used to be dressed that that dressers people dressed
Speaker 1: them so the person who addressed you would zip up
Speaker 1: your jacket, feel, which seems weird that like wherever you are,
Speaker 1: there's someone is zipping on zippier jackie, you got to
Speaker 1: eat whatever. So I am not a rich European royalty
Speaker 1: and there's no one zipping my jacket. So much like
Speaker 1: the Europeans who drive on the wrong side of the road.
Speaker 1: Put the zipper back, hey, you know, to put people
Speaker 1: jackets to them, we drive on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: the road. But that's it's how I know we're right.
Speaker 1: You know how I know we're right because we invented
Speaker 1: the car. End of conversation. Anytime of European tells you
Speaker 1: a British person tells you're on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: the road. Remind them who invented the goddamn car? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I know they had horses and buggies, and I know
Speaker 1: why they driving outside of the road so you can
Speaker 1: handshake the person as you went by, whatever the fable is,
Speaker 1: and you could joust in the whole thing. But once
Speaker 1: cars were invented here in America, we decided which side
Speaker 1: of the road end of store. I also find it
Speaker 1: very I mean an awful thing that that uh that
Speaker 1: a tradition from a ritual from way back when they
Speaker 1: had peasants dressing people that we still decide we we
Speaker 1: we Yeah, why did they change it then? When when
Speaker 1: you know, when they freed the peasants and the slaves
Speaker 1: and everyone just like and like, you know, you know what,
Speaker 1: as a big fuck you, We're moving the zipper to
Speaker 1: the other side where it belongs. Right. And if if
Speaker 1: if Toyota has to make cars for most of the
Speaker 1: world with the steering wheel on the left, and has
Speaker 1: to make special cars for parts of Europe um you know, British,
Speaker 1: uh Land and Holdings, then then I have to make
Speaker 1: a step recall with the lightning driver's wheel on the right.
Speaker 1: Then Dior should make American jackets with the zipper on
Speaker 1: the right. They just because they they want to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, because there's still people who go, oh, the
Speaker 1: zippers on the very europeanloholola bla, bla bla. I did
Speaker 1: not tell you my second gift from my wife. What
Speaker 1: would that be, David Brodie? I got the hoodie? Oh ship,
Speaker 1: you got got the hoodie? Final looks good on me? Really? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: why don't you why don't you elaborate? Well, okay, the
Speaker 1: hoodie from a few weeks ago that I told you
Speaker 1: in Bloomingdale's was like a light purple lavender malve kind
Speaker 1: of and I said it was like a couple of
Speaker 1: hundred dollars anyway, I would never have bought it for myself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I told you it was like butter huh. It
Speaker 1: looked great on me. For me, it was after dropping
Speaker 1: much many hints. Well, I tried it on in front
Speaker 1: of us. She saw the look on my face when
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, if that wasn't she
Speaker 1: said it. She looked at it and she's like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you look great in that. You should get it.
Speaker 1: And I said, this is why I'm back in October,
Speaker 1: end of October, maybe only November, and I said, she, well,
Speaker 1: maybe they'll go on sale. I said, all right, well,
Speaker 1: maybe goes on sale, you know whatever, but I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna what's it gonna go on sale to? Still whatever? Well,
Speaker 1: I got it. So I got a jacket in the
Speaker 1: hoodie and I'm I'm definitely gonna wear the hoodie on
Speaker 1: our trip. Jacket probably not because we're going on a cruise.
Speaker 1: I don't need to Jack. That's so cool though, she
Speaker 1: actually was, well, she she picked up on it. You know,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend has to email me directly and say what
Speaker 1: she wants. Uh, Janet Janet Jackson is coming to town
Speaker 1: in May, and she's like, hey, if you're any chance
Speaker 1: struggling on what to get me, Um, I do? I
Speaker 1: do want to see Janet Jackson at the garden. Very nice, Okay,
Speaker 1: but the thing is to me, that's a birthday present
Speaker 1: because her birthday is in May. So I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna hold off on that. I'm concert
Speaker 1: it's in May, it's after her birthday, so okay, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the tickets now and not give them
Speaker 1: to her? No, no, no, no, no no, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get them. She's I already told it was transparent with her.
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I just can't give you
Speaker 1: a Christmas present that is really that that is after
Speaker 1: your birthday. I would rather just it's close to your birthday.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you that as your birthday gift.
Speaker 1: So then I that wait a minute, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. The concerts in May birthdays around her time. Yes,
Speaker 1: so you told her, I'm getting you the tickets. I'm
Speaker 1: just not going to hand them to you getting them.
Speaker 1: I'm going to but I'm going to purchase them for
Speaker 1: her birthday. That's a birthday gift, because it's too nice
Speaker 1: to give for Christmas. No, just because it's more appropriate,
Speaker 1: because it will be She'll be in birthday mode. Then
Speaker 1: she's not gonna leave back and be like December. It's
Speaker 1: a great Christmas present if you buy them in December.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying you're not gonna call the record
Speaker 1: label and ask for tickets. No, no, no no, no no no,
Speaker 1: I actually gonna buy you buying them. I know, right,
Speaker 1: because we don't have connection. Janet's huge, Uh. If you
Speaker 1: buy the tickets now and you tell her you're buying
Speaker 1: them now. That seems weird that you're not going to
Speaker 1: give them her till her birthday. He brought them now,
Speaker 1: and she knows it. He already has them. She already
Speaker 1: knows she's going So whether you use it as a
Speaker 1: hanakah president, I keep saying, hannak I'm sorry, I'm josh uh.
Speaker 1: If you give them to as a Christmas present or
Speaker 1: a birthday present. Either way, she already knows she's getting them.
Speaker 1: So you're saying just now, yeah, but then you have
Speaker 1: no surprise left. The problem with that is yes, now,
Speaker 1: now when her birthday comes, I'm gonna be empty handed.
Speaker 1: I'll be like remember back in December when I handed
Speaker 1: you your birthday gift. That's why I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to wait. I'm saying, give them to her now
Speaker 1: as a Christmas present unless you have something better for Christmas.
Speaker 1: That's Christmas Eve. Well, I WoT a few things for
Speaker 1: Christmas because I can tell you what to buy your girlfriend.
Speaker 1: I always know what you really want. That Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1: Now I know. Do you know that David follow her
Speaker 1: on Instagram? Your girlfriend is a vague posting him dropping
Speaker 1: uh passive aggressive instagrammer. Really so, so you've seen some
Speaker 1: things on her Instagram? Oh yeah, she makes comments about
Speaker 1: her friends having things that I know she wants really
Speaker 1: or she'll say, oh my friend got this lovely? Really,
Speaker 1: stuff like that your favor. When we're done with this,
Speaker 1: can you share some of that with me, because you know,
Speaker 1: maybe i'll tap that that well, I mean that well
Speaker 1: of knowledge. I love giving presents rather than getting presents.
Speaker 1: In fact, the very generous you spent the whole data. Well,
Speaker 1: that's because takers may eat better, but givers sleep better.
Speaker 1: You believe the greatest. Don't gloss over that comment. Don't
Speaker 1: gloss over that comment. Takers may eat better, but givers
Speaker 1: sleep better. So they're but you always eat better. I
Speaker 1: do both. I don't know how okay, speaking of you
Speaker 1: eating scary and I want to get back to the
Speaker 1: gift thing, but I like, I'll always like a good segue.
Speaker 1: I got this from j J Jesse Underscore. Who knows
Speaker 1: if that's her birth year or not. I'm probably it's
Speaker 1: not my business to say. She sent me a screenshot.
Speaker 1: It says high Brody. As soon as I saw this,
Speaker 1: I immediately thought of scary. I'll tell you what she said,
Speaker 1: she thought you were doing. She would love the podcast.
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a it's an article, it's a fact.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's a fact. Instagram account fewer than
Speaker 1: one percent of men possessed the flexibility to perform oral
Speaker 1: sex on themselves to what she wrote. As soon as
Speaker 1: I saw this, I immediately thought of scary trying to
Speaker 1: ask his own date. So the odds you are in
Speaker 1: the one percent? Is that the one percent? Bernie sand
Speaker 1: is always talking about the one percent, you know, he's
Speaker 1: always talking about It's really sad that this is. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize the odds were stacked against me. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I would never have tried. That was embarrassing. Chance you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do it? Yeah, I never
Speaker 1: tried again. Yeah, I know I'm not on top one flexible,
Speaker 1: So I'm not even gonna try. When I congrat when
Speaker 1: I can touch my toes, I'll even think about it.
Speaker 1: But at this point, you know I can't do it.
Speaker 1: Can't do it. So back back to uh, to your
Speaker 1: your girlfriend, you know what together, you always do right
Speaker 1: by her. She's always very lucky to have your gift giver.
Speaker 1: I think I pulled another one out. Yes, uh, okay,
Speaker 1: you said the gift of giving is is the best
Speaker 1: gift of all right, you enjoy giving gifts. Well, my
Speaker 1: gift to you is to allow you to buy me
Speaker 1: a gift then a stake dinner. No that you owe
Speaker 1: me already. I think you should buy me something as
Speaker 1: your co host and long time companion and friend. And
Speaker 1: this way you will feel that joy of giving me
Speaker 1: a gift. So if I if I bought you a stake,
Speaker 1: didn't though on Christmas, that doesn't Christmas present. No, you'd
Speaker 1: still owe me. I still owe you a steak. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you bought you took me out to a steak
Speaker 1: dinner on Christmas. But I'm like, but I'm saying, no,
Speaker 1: this is the this is me owing you the steak
Speaker 1: dinner and I'm paying you back. Then I don't get
Speaker 1: a Christmas present. I don't know, it's been a long time.
Speaker 1: I'm out around for Christmas, all right, but you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll be home for Christmas. Yeah, I'll also be home
Speaker 1: for New Year's Eve. Well not home home, but I'll
Speaker 1: be in town. You know, this is the year I'm
Speaker 1: going to that big New Year's Eve wedding. Oh no,
Speaker 1: this is not the wedding of the of the uh
Speaker 1: person out of nowhere that invited you to a wedding. No, no,
Speaker 1: this is not that. That is a different wedding. In fact,
Speaker 1: uh that wedding. I don't know if I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: going to this wedding. Here is someone who I work with,
Speaker 1: and um, I'll be there, and you know my girlfriend
Speaker 1: and I think Garrett and his wife. And I have
Speaker 1: to tell you, this is my of all the holidays, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: of all the holiday I was, I wasn't invited listeners,
Speaker 1: I wasn't invited. Of all the major holidays, I think
Speaker 1: the best one to have a wedding or to invite
Speaker 1: people to a wedding is New Year's Eve. And here's
Speaker 1: why if I've recovered this, but I'll be very brief
Speaker 1: about it. What do you like to do New Year's Eve?
Speaker 1: You like to go out, You like to well, in general,
Speaker 1: you like I don't know. You like to eat, get dressed,
Speaker 1: food and eat and get your friends get dressed up.
Speaker 1: You have to dance a little to hang out. The
Speaker 1: wedding has all of those components. So why wouldn't Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't I be so happy, and it relieves the stress
Speaker 1: and anxiety of finding something to do to for New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, because every year I find myself in the
Speaker 1: same spot on December nine, mulling it over with my friends,
Speaker 1: back and forth. What are you guys getting into? I
Speaker 1: don't know what about? You should buy tickets to? This?
Speaker 1: Should be hanging out here? What do you want to?
Speaker 1: And it always becomes a very stressful moment. So now
Speaker 1: my plans are made from me, thank thankfully, for the
Speaker 1: first time ever, and I'm gonna get to get dressed
Speaker 1: up and go out and eat and drink and dance
Speaker 1: a little bit. That sounds great because you hate holiday
Speaker 1: weddings overall, yes, but I do like this New Year's
Speaker 1: Eve wedding concept. I do. Alright, alright, very good. On
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten, how well do I
Speaker 1: know the person? About a three? About a three? So
Speaker 1: it's someone in sales, yes, because it's you and Garrett
Speaker 1: and Garrett. You and Garrett live on the sales floor.
Speaker 1: So I narrowed that down. Yeah, you don't really know

Speaker 1: what are you gonna do there in another country? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess be careful speaking of Dina. We'll take a
Speaker 1: break and then we'll talk about Dina. Let me get
Speaker 1: back to Dina when we get back. I got a
Speaker 1: great story. You're sure you have a good story. It's average.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're still playing. How did that happen?
Speaker 1: The scamment? Shut up, you're a debt. Leave my billion
Speaker 1: dollar equipment out of this. It's not pucked it up again.
Speaker 1: Before we started recording today. You know that, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. It's the Boy podcast. Do you
Speaker 1: remember jingle Ball? About five or six years ago, Elvis
Speaker 1: decided that it was cool to bring Dina on stage.
Speaker 1: So the whole Morning Show came up to introduce the
Speaker 1: next act. And because Dina was a big fan of
Speaker 1: this group, he didn't tell her. He just said, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll go up and we'll introduce this band, meaning he
Speaker 1: and the members of the Morning Show. You can come
Speaker 1: up on stage with us. So he says he's he
Speaker 1: Elvis talks to the crowd and he says, Dina, tell
Speaker 1: everyone who's coming up on stage next, or something like that.
Speaker 1: And she was so nervous. She didn't know she was
Speaker 1: going to do it, and so she's like, she didn't
Speaker 1: know what to say. So she went chain Smokers because
Speaker 1: she was like, and so forever when I see her,
Speaker 1: she's like chain Smokers, Like it's become a joke with us, right,
Speaker 1: So that reminded me of a video my daughter showed
Speaker 1: me that it is hilarious. Now there are YouTube videos
Speaker 1: that make fun of bands or artists that every song
Speaker 1: sounds the same. So it's like, how to play every
Speaker 1: Charlie Pooth song. I'm just using Hi an example. I
Speaker 1: don't if there is one, but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: different groups. So one of them guys go on YouTube
Speaker 1: and look up how every chain Smoker's song is written.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna play it's the clip of it. This
Speaker 1: guy explains it, and it's hilarious. Hold on, see if
Speaker 1: I can pull up the sound. Here we go, hold on,
Speaker 1: here we go. Alright, So basically, you pick three chords.
Speaker 1: One that's going to be your base manico one step
Speaker 1: down so the major one steptown major. Your chorus is
Speaker 1: literally just gonna be this just walking up and down. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me get to the next part. Hold on a second.
Speaker 1: When he talks about sit by the by your parents house,
Speaker 1: drinking problems the way, Yeah, it sounds like it sounds
Speaker 1: like Charlie. No, it's just some guy. And so what
Speaker 1: he does is he plays the like three chords that
Speaker 1: do sound very similar to a lot of Chain Smoker
Speaker 1: songs and then says, just can you pick an object,
Speaker 1: a girl, love or a place. So he's like Toledo,
Speaker 1: you know, or whatever, and and he just rambles about
Speaker 1: that and it sounds like a pop song. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So check out how every Chain Smoker song is written.
Speaker 1: And then like, do other bands that you like? And
Speaker 1: how is every other and it's anyway hilarious. Have we
Speaker 1: ever talked about speaking of following handles, We talked about
Speaker 1: Carton Arcs on this podcast, card Sharks, cart Narks, cart
Speaker 1: n Arks. Yeah, although all those people who yell at
Speaker 1: you're not putting your cart back in grocery. So there's
Speaker 1: a guy, and I believe he is on the Woody Show,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. That's a morning show in the
Speaker 1: West Coast. Yes, the West Coast morning show syndicated around
Speaker 1: the country. By the way, they're looking for an executive
Speaker 1: morning show producer. There I know a guy who applied.
Speaker 1: Not so so the Carton Arcs account was started by
Speaker 1: that person. Now I fear for this guy's life because
Speaker 1: he will go with the camera in their face and
Speaker 1: go into the parking lot and go up to them
Speaker 1: and and and confront them for not not parking the
Speaker 1: cart in the back of the in the car rap
Speaker 1: the shopping cart rack. And I don't know, it's some
Speaker 1: some of these get very very dicey. I mean he'll
Speaker 1: go after guys twice his size in like a four
Speaker 1: D F one fifty. I'm like, you really want to
Speaker 1: be fuking with this guy right now. But by the way,
Speaker 1: is it possible that a a small, whimpy like accounting
Speaker 1: type nerdy no offense accountants, uh, could drive an F
Speaker 1: one fifty or if you're in an F one fifty
Speaker 1: you're obviously like big and strong that I just don't
Speaker 1: see it. But yeah, I'm sure they're there a couple.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so if you could imagine he could I mean,
Speaker 1: you want to add a dangerous account to sustain. I
Speaker 1: mean he's got to go out on film new videos.
Speaker 1: And he's not just picking on like Grandma's you know
Speaker 1: who didn't leave the car, but like he will literally
Speaker 1: get in front of their car. I mean, there's so
Speaker 1: many awful things how this could end for this guy.
Speaker 1: But he's just OpenD to work at the place. Does
Speaker 1: he have like no, no, he says he's from carton
Speaker 1: Arcs because they asked him, They're like, do you work here?
Speaker 1: Do you work at this Walmartineau. I'm with the carton Arks, sir,
Speaker 1: and like he has like a whole persona and he
Speaker 1: goes and he's you know, he's kind of giving the
Speaker 1: third degree. Why did you not put the cart back
Speaker 1: where it belonged? Why didn't you just leave it here
Speaker 1: in the middle where other cars could smash into it? Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand that the good deed he's doing,
Speaker 1: and we all agree that that's a good service. But
Speaker 1: if someone's having a bad day anyway, follow it cart
Speaker 1: Narks at cart and a r CS on Instagram. You'll
Speaker 1: see what we're talking about. I I, you know what,
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to be a cart and arc. If
Speaker 1: if I could find a way not to get beat
Speaker 1: up like you know me, I would be a good
Speaker 1: cart kN arc. But today I was in Cole's doing
Speaker 1: a little last minute of vacation shop and get a
Speaker 1: couple of T shirts expect great things. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: line wasn't crazy. So I'm in the men's department because
Speaker 1: you know that's where shop being, you know, being a man,
Speaker 1: I war shop and you're a man. And Nope, I'm
Speaker 1: not manly enough for an F one fifty I have.
Speaker 1: I'm manly enough for a Dodge charger. That says I'm
Speaker 1: going to drive quickly away from the guy in the
Speaker 1: one wants to beat my ass. That's what my car says.
Speaker 1: So microphone is extremely loud. Oh I I lean I
Speaker 1: lean forward for a second. Sorry slices. So this guy
Speaker 1: is got some clothing in his hand and he's looking
Speaker 1: at a shirt and he takes the hangar out of
Speaker 1: the shirt so he can look at the shirt better.
Speaker 1: Wants to hold it up to himself, and he drops
Speaker 1: the hangar on the floor. I'm like two ft away.
Speaker 1: I hear the clank. I turned, I see him dropped
Speaker 1: the hangar. And what does he do. He steps over
Speaker 1: the hangar and keeps walking. So I said, excuse me, sir,
Speaker 1: if you know this, you dropped your hangar. He looks
Speaker 1: at me and goes not in and it walks away.
Speaker 1: Now that's almost that is Carton nark ish because you're
Speaker 1: confronting somebody who clearly knew they did something wrong. I
Speaker 1: was a hanger. I was a hangar banger. I banged
Speaker 1: him for dropping the hangar hang up my hanger on?
Speaker 1: Was I hanger on? Hang and bang it? Yeah? Oh
Speaker 1: my god. Anyway, So yeah, I don't I don't like
Speaker 1: when people make it harder for people in retail, especially
Speaker 1: this time. He picked the damn hanger up. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: so there's that. Hey, I saw on Facebook. Um, you
Speaker 1: know how I always sell things on Facebook. I had
Speaker 1: a problem with someone I was selling something to on Facebook.
Speaker 1: But I saw something. It was only ten dollars. Scary,
Speaker 1: now would you buy this? It was? It said ten dollars,
Speaker 1: but then it said, uh, free free clean dirt, free
Speaker 1: clean dirt, free clean dirt. What the hell is it?
Speaker 1: Dirt for planting things like? It doesn't say it just
Speaker 1: says come get it. Now. They have to put a price,
Speaker 1: because Facebook makes you put a price. They wrote ten dollars,
Speaker 1: but then they wrote it's free clean dirt. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think that that is if I'm clean by definition,
Speaker 1: it's because there's no chemicals in it. It hasn't been
Speaker 1: poisoned by not doesn't say chemical free dirt, doesn't it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It just says free clean dirt. Well, sometimes there's rocks
Speaker 1: and pebbles in it. I don't know, there's debris. Some
Speaker 1: dirt is dirty. Is dirty dirt? And clean dirt? Really
Speaker 1: does clean dirt? Yeah, I guess there is. I mean
Speaker 1: it's clean, it's pure. I feel like maybe it's right
Speaker 1: for planting something and getting a good result. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's what clean dirt is. You take things
Speaker 1: very literally. I know how your mind works, right, but
Speaker 1: it's clean dirt and it doesn't work for me. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, So back to Facebook. I sell it.
Speaker 1: I sold a piece of furniture. Okay, it was it's
Speaker 1: it was about the size of it, let's say a
Speaker 1: coffee table. Okay, Uh, maybe maybe it was. By the way,
Speaker 1: the measurements for what I sold were in the listing.
Speaker 1: I listed it high depth, with thickness everything of this
Speaker 1: piece of front. Did I even measure your penis too?
Speaker 1: No muck And I don't need to cry, so I said,
Speaker 1: She says, I wanted. I'm I'm gonna my husband's gonna
Speaker 1: come get it. Fantastic. Now she has the measurements, she writes,
Speaker 1: she writes me a note and direct message and says, um,
Speaker 1: will it fit in my car? So I right back,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know what kind of
Speaker 1: car you have. She says, I'm sorry, will it fit
Speaker 1: in my Subaru? Hatchback? Once again, nobody knows your car
Speaker 1: like you. So why would you Why would she even
Speaker 1: ask you that question? Okay, because I've told a similar
Speaker 1: story in the past, So I say, I say to her,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know how big your
Speaker 1: trunk space is. That should have been the end of
Speaker 1: the conversation, right, she says, So she says, it's fairly wide.
Speaker 1: What do you think? So? So I said, again, I
Speaker 1: don't know what year the car is. I don't know
Speaker 1: how big the car is. It's your car. You know
Speaker 1: what size it is. You have the directions? Do you
Speaker 1: have the means to the furniture? She writes back, Okay,
Speaker 1: what if I put the seats down? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: So I said again, it's your car. I mean, how
Speaker 1: hard is it to just take a tape measurer? What
Speaker 1: you can do? I said, you know you could do?
Speaker 1: You could measure your trunk space, or you could go
Speaker 1: online and look up the measurements of the width of
Speaker 1: your storage area of your car. I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't know any about your car. She's like, oh, I
Speaker 1: thought you might know. Thanks anyway, like annoyed with me? Anyway,
Speaker 1: she she bought it. The guy picked it up and
Speaker 1: it fit fine, which like, well, what have I put
Speaker 1: the seats down? You know, don't sell stuff on Facebook.
Speaker 1: I know, Hey, um, you know there's an alarming trend
Speaker 1: on TikTok. I wanted to get your opinion on. You're
Speaker 1: gonna segue to to a slumman's alarm, and it's very funny.
Speaker 1: This is hysterical and I've seen this before and a
Speaker 1: lot of our slices might have seen it. It's where
Speaker 1: it's the next episode of my kids are misbehaving? How
Speaker 1: am I gonna? How am I gonna funk with them?
Speaker 1: For the holidays. So there's a trend where people are
Speaker 1: getting people in their family to literally dress up like
Speaker 1: the Grinch in a Santa outfit. The Grinch green full
Speaker 1: on green with the Santa suit in the hat, and
Speaker 1: while the kids are least expecting it, the Grinch comes
Speaker 1: bolting through the front door, goes right for the Christmas
Speaker 1: tree and starts grabbing Christmas presents and runs out with them.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of alarming videos where some of them
Speaker 1: where the kids like they all start screaming in terror,
Speaker 1: and a couple of them where the kids fight back.
Speaker 1: They're literally trying to beat the ship out of the
Speaker 1: Grinch and grab the Kimmel bit has does Jimmy Kimmel
Speaker 1: do this? He does. The thing was I threw your
Speaker 1: I threw your candy away? You know your howween candy? No,
Speaker 1: this is an actual trend on TikTok, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether the laugh to laugh or are
Speaker 1: you traumatized for life. I also raised this with my
Speaker 1: friend's share on my other podcast. Um, she's a mom,
Speaker 1: so she's got an interesting perspective, but you're from the
Speaker 1: school of hard knocks, so you may see it differently.
Speaker 1: For me, I think it's hilarious because I don't have kids,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, well if if, if, the kids
Speaker 1: deserve it, and this is how they're gonna be disciplined,
Speaker 1: so what. However, the other part of me says, you
Speaker 1: could be emotionally scarring your kid for life. You have
Speaker 1: to see. There's a couple of these that went really viral,
Speaker 1: millions of views with the specifically the one where the kids,
Speaker 1: like the one kid fights back and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of the gridge, and the gridge
Speaker 1: is like trying to push the kid away and trying
Speaker 1: to get away with the presidents and leave. But they
Speaker 1: were the screaming, bloody murder these kids. And I kind
Speaker 1: of then then that one. I felt bad you know
Speaker 1: the other ones, but I don't know thought you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm gonna watch it now. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm gonnau up the video. I'm actually you know what
Speaker 1: I think. Hold on, I gotta watch the ad first. Um.
Speaker 1: I think it's funny when it's other people, but I
Speaker 1: think if you do it to your kids, you're choosing
Speaker 1: the joke over there mental well being. I could listen.
Speaker 1: It's it's right possible. The kid gets over in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's that one kid who decides to,
Speaker 1: you know, become a crazy person and do horrible things
Speaker 1: as an adult because he was traumatized. He or she
Speaker 1: By the way, honey, you're trying to watch it on
Speaker 1: your computer. Is fucking with your sound and it's you're
Speaker 1: clicking in and out? Is it? Try and watch it
Speaker 1: on I want to watch it, watch it on your phone.
Speaker 1: But anyway, So, but but how is is that? So
Speaker 1: that's a little different than than you know, people when
Speaker 1: they take presents, fake presents, and they put like tissue
Speaker 1: paper inside the box and then they wrap it up
Speaker 1: and they put it under the tree. And when the
Speaker 1: kid is bad, they're like, all right, if you're bad,
Speaker 1: the present is going in the fireplace. And they literally
Speaker 1: take a present, they chuck it into the fire. That
Speaker 1: is that anymore or less? What are they? What's the uh,
Speaker 1: there's the heartless Yeah, the emotional damage. You've seen that before.
Speaker 1: I guess it depends how old the kid is. If
Speaker 1: a kid's fourteen and he's a brat, then maybe I
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it to a seven year old. See, this
Speaker 1: is a Christian thing. This is a Christian thing. And
Speaker 1: I always say that because Jews would never do that.
Speaker 1: We would never waste wrapping paper, but a tail as
Speaker 1: old as time. They would put coal in your stocking
Speaker 1: if you're bad. That's part of like a lot of
Speaker 1: these stories take the good they don't take the thing
Speaker 1: that was in your stockings and throw it in the
Speaker 1: fireplace and put coal in there. But they're not going
Speaker 1: to get the kid, and the kid gets cold for
Speaker 1: for Christmas and then all hell breaks loses anybody ever again.
Speaker 1: But I did your parents ever go through with it?
Speaker 1: Isn't my question to the slice of mine didn't. Well, obviously,
Speaker 1: but obviously I wonder if anyone actually they went through.
Speaker 1: The parents went through, they put coal in their stocking.
Speaker 1: I don't know how or would you do this to
Speaker 1: your kid like I wonder slices would you do this
Speaker 1: to your kids? Either throw the presents in the uh,
Speaker 1: you know what? I think it would be best rather
Speaker 1: than email us or anything, leave us to talk back
Speaker 1: on my Heart. Um. Now, is somebody d m me
Speaker 1: this week. I'm not gonna give his name out, but
Speaker 1: he said, I love you guys, but I don't have
Speaker 1: I heart And so he told me what he wanted
Speaker 1: to say. So I said, well, just download the app.
Speaker 1: It's free. So if you want to use the talkback
Speaker 1: feature on on the I Heart radio app and you're
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast sometime near the end of December, Well,
Speaker 1: first week in January, leave leave us a voicemail and
Speaker 1: tell us if you know a talk back, if you
Speaker 1: would do this to your kids, or how you would
Speaker 1: have felt as a kid if it happened to you.
Speaker 1: And if you don't want to do that, UM two
Speaker 1: on eight FU A seventy seven is our voicemail. You
Speaker 1: can leave it there if you don't know if I
Speaker 1: heart right? All right? Good and now and finally, the
Speaker 1: elf on the shelf bit, I mean, that's kind of
Speaker 1: a like beginning beginning to discipline the kid, right, I me,
Speaker 1: because now it's like this guy is watching you. He's
Speaker 1: in a different position every night. So that is that
Speaker 1: maybe that's the solution. Uh slices. If you're listening with
Speaker 1: your wonderful children right now, you might want to uh
Speaker 1: consider you know, pausing while we discuss you know, the
Speaker 1: elf on the shelf and other things. Um, but you
Speaker 1: know the elf on the shelf, he moves around, he's
Speaker 1: always watching you, which is a little kind of a
Speaker 1: little creepy ask me or the men on a bench
Speaker 1: from my form, my peeps for trying. You see, Snoop
Speaker 1: Dogg came out with one snoop Snoop on a stoop
Speaker 1: and he's smoking a j Really, I don't know about that,
Speaker 1: not not in my house, but maybe you know it's funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyway, it's adult candy he's smoking. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we don't have to go into detail about it.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that could be a thing, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well if if you say, you know what, you take
Speaker 1: the elf on the shelf and you he doesn't show
Speaker 1: up one day, you tell the kids it's because you're
Speaker 1: bad and he hates you. He's never coming back because
Speaker 1: he saw what you did. That could be traumatizing too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he told me you know what you say, you know
Speaker 1: you say to kids the elfha on the shelf told
Speaker 1: me he's not coming back to you. Confess to me
Speaker 1: what you did. Maybe they confess like something you don't
Speaker 1: even know they did, like you know the kids, like
Speaker 1: i'd ask my d scary. Uh. I want to tell
Speaker 1: you a story about my kids because the apple don't
Speaker 1: fall fall from the tree kind of thing. But but
Speaker 1: if you have anything else you want to get off,
Speaker 1: I want to end on on the story if you
Speaker 1: don't mind. No, we have a couple of things. Um no,
Speaker 1: I just uh, I will give you a quick one.
Speaker 1: But this is the Yeah, okay, continue, all right, go
Speaker 1: for it. Well to arrest. I want one more, one more,
Speaker 1: one more little thing that I wanted to throw in there. Actually, well,
Speaker 1: let me give me this throwing your little thing and
Speaker 1: I'll I'll tell what happened to I'll throwing my little thing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I hear you one percent?
Speaker 1: Can you know? That's why? Um, to many little things.
Speaker 1: I'm getting less and less Christmas cards than I have
Speaker 1: in years passed. I think people have given up on this. Um.
Speaker 1: I used to get a ton, but I got to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got about four. We usually I get about so
Speaker 1: I don't know. I usually get about a good dozen too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not even digital ones. I got to. One of them
Speaker 1: was from Garrett. Thank you Garrett. By the way, your
Speaker 1: family is lovely. Um. I I got my first digital
Speaker 1: one in the in my emailmail email. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like interesting from a Nigerian prince. Was my friends Kristen
Speaker 1: and Joe. They're awesome. They something like is it better
Speaker 1: to just get a digital one than not get a
Speaker 1: card at all? And then even if you don't get
Speaker 1: a card, are you really upset? Like I can name
Speaker 1: about five to ten families I know right now, um,
Speaker 1: off the top of my head that have given me
Speaker 1: cards in the past, and then suddenly I don't get
Speaker 1: them anymore. Have I fallen out of good graces with them?
Speaker 1: Or like what do you you know? Hell? Yeah, hello, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's billion dollar equipment just shipped the bed tuning in
Speaker 1: tune in Tokyo. No, we're still here. I didn't hear
Speaker 1: a word you said for the last thirty seconds. No,
Speaker 1: it was probably for the best. Uh No. I was
Speaker 1: just saying I got my first digital card just to
Speaker 1: bring I said, from a Nigerian prince, and then you
Speaker 1: went dead no, And I said no from Christ, my
Speaker 1: friends Kristen and Joe. So is it better to have
Speaker 1: gotten a digital card than no card at all? Are?
Speaker 1: They are? Digital cards just passe? Like the gone the
Speaker 1: way of the evite where we used to tell you
Speaker 1: people if they're coming to your party on you know, online, Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it depends on what kind of person
Speaker 1: you are. So there's people in my family, people I know,
Speaker 1: friends of you know, Peeling I'm friends with. They will
Speaker 1: put the cards up, they'll take them to the wall,
Speaker 1: they'll put them on the mantel. They'll have all the
Speaker 1: cards out until mid January. I ain't got time for that, right,
Speaker 1: even as like cousins and nephews and it's like it's everybody,
Speaker 1: and for me, I like to keep the cards like
Speaker 1: I have Garrett's card out right on the on the
Speaker 1: on one of the end tables because it's only one
Speaker 1: of the two two cards I got. So I put
Speaker 1: two cards out. But if you get but then you
Speaker 1: don't know when to throw them out or what to
Speaker 1: do with them because you're like, oh, I feel bit
Speaker 1: throwing the card out, But eventually you do, right, eventually
Speaker 1: you do. And so I think with an e picture,
Speaker 1: the person gets to brag about their family, they save
Speaker 1: a little money, and you never have to throw it
Speaker 1: out because you can just put it in a folder. Right,
Speaker 1: You can take all the holiday cards you get and
Speaker 1: put them all on a folder in your email if
Speaker 1: you never look at them again. This way, mentally you
Speaker 1: didn't throw them out, you didn't delete, and you have
Speaker 1: to look at them again. I saw a meme that
Speaker 1: said I'm not sending out Christmas cards this year. If
Speaker 1: you care, go to my Instagram find your favorite picture
Speaker 1: of me printed Merry Christmas. Yeah, it got to the
Speaker 1: point with me having three kids, were like, eventually nobody
Speaker 1: cares about your teenage kids. But you know what, the
Speaker 1: college age kids, we're gonna talk about a bygone error,
Speaker 1: a bygone era, like back Christmas cards and the whole
Speaker 1: family thing and the portraits and the pictures. They were
Speaker 1: invented in a time before of the internets. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so now you're the year in Christmas car. Now now
Speaker 1: you're keeping up. We're all keeping up with each other.
Speaker 1: You know, I know, you know, I know what what
Speaker 1: you had for dinner last night. I know, I know everything.
Speaker 1: So it's not like, oh little Timmy got lost another
Speaker 1: tooth this week. You know, in November I found out
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Yeah I saw on Facebook, also the Internet everywhere,
Speaker 1: social media everywhere. I saw it. But that was back
Speaker 1: in the day. We're like, you didn't know anything. You
Speaker 1: didn't see your family in Minnesota, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Minnesota winging the family, what what are they up to? Now?
Speaker 1: You never really cared. But people saying the letter anyway,
Speaker 1: it was such a bragg It was a humble brag.
Speaker 1: Humble I had to tell you. But you know, Maria
Speaker 1: got into Harvard, and you know, because if anything shitty happened,
Speaker 1: like if Marie didn't get into Harvard and you got
Speaker 1: into some shitty college near her, you wouldn't put that
Speaker 1: in the letter. So it's all a bragg humble brod, right,
Speaker 1: that's and that's what social media is. I don't need
Speaker 1: to know about your family. There's not anyone in my family.
Speaker 1: First cousins, second cousins. They're cute kids. There is no
Speaker 1: I don't have any siblings. So maybe with siblings, but
Speaker 1: you're pretty close to your siblings. You live in the
Speaker 1: relative area. There's no one in my family that I
Speaker 1: want to let it from or an update that I
Speaker 1: don't already know what care, So then you care, I'll
Speaker 1: call you. So if if if if Christmas and holiday
Speaker 1: cards went away forever, it wouldn't be offended. Well as
Speaker 1: a Jew, no, No, I like a guy. I like
Speaker 1: like a good I like you know what, I like
Speaker 1: a good holiday card from somebody that says, you know what,
Speaker 1: this person is going to stay on my list. You
Speaker 1: know who I love getting holiday cards from, and I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten a card from it. If he's lazy, here's
Speaker 1: this I'm very disappointed. Remember our old buddy Elliott. Yes,
Speaker 1: Elliott used to be the co host of our morning
Speaker 1: show is Elvis and Elliott at the time. And then
Speaker 1: when Elliott got his own show in Washington in d C.
Speaker 1: I went and worked with him one week a month
Speaker 1: and Elvis three weeks a month. I love Elliott. Elliott
Speaker 1: is how I got into radio. He returned my phone call.
Speaker 1: And Elliott is a well off man. He's done well
Speaker 1: in radio. And he sends the for me the nicest
Speaker 1: holiday cards, like high quality, almost like cardboard, beautiful of
Speaker 1: his two boys who were hockey players, his two dogs,
Speaker 1: his beautiful dogs. And I mean, I know, I know
Speaker 1: his wife Jackie, and and you know, I mean, and
Speaker 1: I look forward to it, and I have. I have
Speaker 1: only seen Elliott, I would say, since I stopped working
Speaker 1: for him, which was a long time ago, a long
Speaker 1: time ago, I've only seen him in person two or
Speaker 1: three times. But I love the guy. The fact that
Speaker 1: he remembers me and sends me a card every year.
Speaker 1: That's important. Did he send you a card? Car you
Speaker 1: get the card from him every year? Did you get one?
Speaker 1: Did you get your card? I did not get a
Speaker 1: card yet. This is awkward. This is very awkward. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not even kidding. I got it. I know
Speaker 1: his dog's names, Deuce and Powell. I think one of
Speaker 1: them is kid. No, are you sure? It's cook? The
Speaker 1: card Colon and Powell? Right, No, his kid isn't Colin Powell.
Speaker 1: His kids aren't Colin Powell. But he has a kid
Speaker 1: named Colin. No, he doesn't Colin. He's got Colin and Powell.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that's the case. It
Speaker 1: was those Deuce and Baxter. But those dogs do and
Speaker 1: Baxter the Morning show from Cincinnati. Yeah, no, I think
Speaker 1: his dogs were. I gotta look that up now. I
Speaker 1: can't even look at the new card. I don't have it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel bad telling you that nice is
Speaker 1: the card. It's just like it always is. It's got
Speaker 1: the it's got the kids on it. They're all growns up. Now.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, look at you. That one is
Speaker 1: in college, and what the fun did you do to
Speaker 1: fall off his Christmas list? I don't know. In fact,
Speaker 1: we had had a great conversation and when he came
Speaker 1: to New York he was shouting me out on on
Speaker 1: this on his morning show. Because I was listening on
Speaker 1: the way home, because we would get off our show
Speaker 1: at like nine forty and he would stay until ten
Speaker 1: thirty and I would listen to this last fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and so he would be like, oh, I got a
Speaker 1: new listener. Hey Brodie. He shouted me at a couple
Speaker 1: of times. I don't know what to say, and then
Speaker 1: I called him. He's like, oh, I'll be up in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: We'll get a drink my tree. It was a great
Speaker 1: your treat fantastic. Yeah, I'm sorry, buddy. Um, that's not
Speaker 1: a bit that No, it's not a bit, and it's
Speaker 1: one of the It is one of the few cards
Speaker 1: that I did get, so I will cherish it forever. Well,
Speaker 1: then double thank you to the Garrett family because huh,
Speaker 1: I guess it's out of sight, out of mind? Did
Speaker 1: we get do we get from the Tindorfs? The Greg
Speaker 1: t Fami, I didn't know him out. I guess I'm
Speaker 1: out from the Tindorfs too. Jersey Kid, I didn't get
Speaker 1: one from the Jersey Kid this year, so I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think more and more people are not sending cards
Speaker 1: out anyway. That was the more story. Anyway, you really
Speaker 1: did get it. Yeah, I'm sorry. Oh now I feel
Speaker 1: bad for telling you. I mean was I'm not gonna

Speaker 1: gas was was not correct? Okay, So then this is
Speaker 1: Stevie Steady Hands. Mr Irving something on on Twitter. Stevie
Speaker 1: Steady Hands. He said, maybe someone said this already, figuring
Speaker 1: he was one of many. But you can't argue against
Speaker 1: the free gas billboard when you were apart by the way,
Speaker 1: Stevie used the wrong apart. You put apart his one word.
Speaker 1: You were a part of the free money phone tap
Speaker 1: for years. Now. I don't see how that's that's it
Speaker 1: got you. We didn't say it was the free win
Speaker 1: free money phone tap. It was the phone tap we
Speaker 1: gave you free money, which was my point. Yes, we
Speaker 1: didn't say you can you can win the win free
Speaker 1: money phone tap or win free money phone tap. So
Speaker 1: you did not get me, all right, Stevie Steady Hands.

Speaker 1: pop songs and going to jingle balls. I get it.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to Howard alright, okay, listening to rock music.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, I listen. I love the station where I worked,
Speaker 1: I love the people. I like the music. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. If I put on if I put on
Speaker 1: a pop radius, if I put one one hundred, I
Speaker 1: enjoy it. But it's not my first choice. That and
Speaker 1: so we heard pop music at work every morning, so
Speaker 1: I would learn the music. If I had to write
Speaker 1: a parody, I learned the song. By the way, you're
Speaker 1: screaming into your microphone again. I'm sorry. I will tell you. Uh,
Speaker 1: my daughter is into nineties Rocks. So we were listening
Speaker 1: to Good Charlotte and uh Bowling for Soup in the
Speaker 1: car a couple of days ago. Yeah, that's like early
Speaker 1: two thousands. Yeah, early two thousands. And Jarrett, Jarrett the
Speaker 1: lead singer, good guy. Remember when he did that song
Speaker 1: for me for us on the morning so, uh, the
Speaker 1: Yankee song about the curse of the Red Sox. So
Speaker 1: he did, uh We'll Keep the Curse Alive to Uh. Wow,
Speaker 1: you know, man, I just thought of something. You're enjoying
Speaker 1: these songs that you enjoyed five years ago with your daughter. Now,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, some of them you became
Speaker 1: friends with some of these musicians. Maybe you could be
Speaker 1: the hero dad and be like, hey, you know the
Speaker 1: guy who sings that song. I could text him right now,
Speaker 1: let's let's face time. I could do that. But you
Speaker 1: know what, my daughter has already met Jared from Bowling
Speaker 1: for Sue because it took a ginger bowl every year,
Speaker 1: so she met him, uh late two thousand's. My kids
Speaker 1: have met everybody. I mean, whether they appreciate it or
Speaker 1: worshiped me for it. No, but they appreciated at the
Speaker 1: time they've met everybody, there's rare. There's rarely anyone they've
Speaker 1: wanted to meet that they have not met. I think
Speaker 1: the biggest one for them had to be Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: Uh they've met her three or four times. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it depends on the on the mood in the day,
Speaker 1: in the week. You know. Listen, Um, I've met Taylor
