Speaker 2: a remember the old show WKRP in Cincinnati. They did
Speaker 2: a nighttime show called the Quiet Storm. I think that's
Speaker 2: what from that show. They're like, the Quiet Storm, that's
Speaker 2: what you do. Like it's episode three fifty eight. I said,
Speaker 2: you're trying to be sexy, trying to make our podcast
Speaker 2: a little a little seductive. I've been told I have
Speaker 2: a very sexy voice by what death man when I
Speaker 2: drop it down low, if I get closer to the
Speaker 2: mic scared. Let's let's be honest. You haven't been able
Speaker 2: to drop it down low in a long time. If
Speaker 2: I ever, If I if I get close to the
Speaker 2: mic like this, when you dip, you break your hip
Speaker 2: and oh yeah, give me sexy, scary ahead, all right,
Speaker 2: this is and just speak like this. How about that?
Speaker 2: How does that sound so sexy? Again? Anytime you're ready
Speaker 2: to speak sexy? Go ahead, I'm going this is it.
Speaker 2: This is my Oh this said, I missed it, so
Speaker 2: I do it again. I'll pay at ladies. Ladies, turn
Speaker 2: the volume up, turn the volume up. Okay, how I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna talk like this? Yeah? How does that sound
Speaker 2: sound good? Sounds like your regular voice? Scary? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's me. This is me. This is me talking really low,
Speaker 2: like very low. No, this isn't is not sexy to you.
Speaker 2: Isn't it the voice that caused them to keep you
Speaker 2: three hundred yards away from any school show? That's that's
Speaker 2: you being sexy. This is this is scary. I am
Speaker 2: scaredy Johns a sexy, I'm scary Jones. Oh it was
Speaker 2: talk softer, you didn't get sexy. Yeah, talking softer for
Speaker 2: me brings out the sexiness in my voice, that's all.
Speaker 2: Oh does that work for Robin? You're like, hey, Robin,
Speaker 2: how's it going? I don't know? Maybe if I if
Speaker 2: I but like I'm not, I don't have sexy voice,
Speaker 2: but I think you have to give it a little
Speaker 2: more like, Hey, yeah you do it. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 2: feel good tonight. You gotta like you gotta sound You
Speaker 2: didn't sound sexy. You just went, hey, it's scary Jones.
Speaker 2: You just lowered your voice. You went, hey, it's scary Jones.
Speaker 2: Instead of Hey it's scary Jones. You went, hey, it's
Speaker 2: scary Johnes. I'm used to yelling. I'm used to yelling
Speaker 2: on this podcast. There's nothing sexy. Anything not yelling is
Speaker 2: so anything not yelling is like sexy. You're in sexy zone, right.
Speaker 2: I feel like we are the loudest of any podcast
Speaker 2: out there. We have to be. I think a lot
Speaker 2: of podcasts. If you notice some of these podcasts, these
Speaker 2: guys are sitting on couches and they have like a
Speaker 2: microphone propped up to the couch, and they're just like
Speaker 2: they're leeling back there, leaning back in their hoodies and
Speaker 2: they're just chilling, you know, They're they're just hanging. Yeah. See,
Speaker 2: I feel like if we were put in that type
Speaker 2: of atmosphere environment, I think we too would sound like that. Okay,
Speaker 2: so but it's still doing a live broadcast possibly early
Speaker 2: next year. Yeah, and the venue is a pretty chill venue,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if they're gonna give us couches
Speaker 2: or not to sit on. But I don't think that's
Speaker 2: gonna affect at least me. You may be sexy scary
Speaker 2: on the podcast live, but I'm gonna be broady from Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: I think it depends. I think your your demeanor, your voice,
Speaker 2: your attitude all has to do with the environment that
Speaker 2: you're in. And you know, not for nothing, but me
Speaker 2: sitting in my apartment is a pretty eryl Envinor environment.
Speaker 2: Everything's white. We have a microphone boom here my gold ye,
Speaker 2: by my gold mic that I was gifted for my
Speaker 2: fiftieth birthday by the Morning Show. That that really has
Speaker 2: to be part of this. You have to you have
Speaker 2: a gold mic. But yeah, I've got a gold mic
Speaker 2: the Morning Show gifted to me two years. How is
Speaker 2: that part of the story and the environment of you
Speaker 2: being chill, I'm paint I'm painting the picture. No that
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's it's cold here. I'm just you know,
Speaker 2: just I have a desk, you know, and it's bedroom white.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying in my living room it's just not
Speaker 2: it's this is not the place. Yeah, earth tones, No,
Speaker 2: but here this is my living room, though it's slightly blue,
Speaker 2: like light blue. But my point is it's not warming,
Speaker 2: it's not cozy, it's not inviting, it's not welcoming. Correct,
Speaker 2: So it breeds this monighal, chaotic tone that we you know,
Speaker 2: like we're and we're screaming at each other. That's what
Speaker 2: we do on this and I know that that's what
Speaker 2: we're known for. But I'm just it's an observation that
Speaker 2: I don't think we scream. I get animated. You scream
Speaker 2: at me all the time. We're both very animated, both
Speaker 2: of us. Sometimes we're more than others. But anyway, would
Speaker 2: you at least admit your couch is not comfortable. It's
Speaker 2: not My girlfriend refuses to sit on it. It's terrible.
Speaker 2: You you bought a page out of a magazine. You
Speaker 2: bought the rug and the chairs, the couch, and it
Speaker 2: looked great in the picture. But this is why Scary
Speaker 2: doesn't watch a lot of television. You know. We talk
Speaker 2: about how Scary is like not into anything. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's not watching this is not watching that. This couch
Speaker 2: is the problem. I have a recliner couch with big
Speaker 2: cushiony pillows and I sit down and go, oh, and
Speaker 2: it's scary. You you bounce off the couch when you
Speaker 2: sit down on the couch. It's so hard and uncomfortable
Speaker 2: plastic or leather, whatever it is. It just kind of goes.
Speaker 2: It doesn't It doesn't suck you in, it doesn't welcome
Speaker 2: you in, It spits you back out. Can we get
Speaker 2: the microphone close up to the couch to have you
Speaker 2: sit down hard on it to get that sound? No,
Speaker 2: that's not even close anyway. So Birdie and I are excited.
Speaker 2: We're we're going to see each other. How can you tell? Right,
Speaker 2: we're all going to see each other. We're going We're
Speaker 2: going to Carla Marie and Anthony's wedding. It's finally here
Speaker 2: the days here this Friday, really and if you don't
Speaker 2: know who they are, there are two people that were
Speaker 2: part of the morning show. Yes, and we had Carla
Speaker 2: Marie on not too long ago. This was the one.
Speaker 2: This is the couple with the blackout wedding where everything
Speaker 2: is blackout. So I had further questions for them and
Speaker 2: they were answered, and that was am I not allowed
Speaker 2: to have? You know, I have to have black accessories too,
Speaker 2: like like for instance, if my girlfriend wants to have it,
Speaker 2: you're gonna bring black Lloyd. No, she's gonna have a
Speaker 2: purse and it's like a gold logo on the purse.
Speaker 2: Is that okay? What about red bottom shoes, the red bottoms? Okay?
Speaker 2: Off that bottom? Girls? Anyway? Wait a minute, Well, you're
Speaker 2: not really gonna wear lubitons? Are No, I'm not. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: It's okay, but but you know, people have these questions.
Speaker 2: Apparently I have to go. Yeah, it's apparently when it's
Speaker 2: all black. But but it's okay to have my cuff
Speaker 2: links are not black. It's okay. If my what about
Speaker 2: my pocket square? Oh, god forbid, I put some color
Speaker 2: in my pocket square. If I see a red door,
Speaker 2: I want to paint it black. All right, rolling stones,
Speaker 2: thank you? So I have go ahead ahead? No, No, So
Speaker 2: I'm wondering. I'm just wondering. I'm wondering how far we
Speaker 2: have to carry this? And the answer is pretty far.
Speaker 2: It's it's heard you were thinking about going in blackface?
Speaker 2: Is that true? All right? You gotta you gotta really
Speaker 2: that's not that's not nice. So I I heard uh
Speaker 2: that Scotti had a similar dilemma. Scotty Bee from the
Speaker 2: Morning Show had a similar dilemma to me. Now, Scotti's
Speaker 2: theory and it's it's kind of my theory as well.
Speaker 2: We'll tell them what I'm not. You think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: leave them in suspense and not tell them slices some
Speaker 2: of the man of the television. Okay, So Scotty and
Speaker 2: I are the kind of guys that don't have a
Speaker 2: lot of fancy clothing, right we were. We wore shorts
Speaker 2: and T shirts to work every day, and I don't
Speaker 2: I don't enough suits. Uh So I wore I wore
Speaker 2: a blue blazer to a funeral recentlya caause I didn't
Speaker 2: have a black sport coder or even a suit. So
Speaker 2: Scotty and I coincidentally both went out and got black
Speaker 2: suits and black shirts. And he had to buy black
Speaker 2: shoes because he didn't have black shoes and black tie
Speaker 2: and I had a black tie. Added buy a black
Speaker 2: suit and a black shirt because I didn't have anything
Speaker 2: to wear for this wedding. So Scotty on the Morning
Speaker 2: Show to call him Maurice's face because this was what
Speaker 2: he told all you guys, but he had the balls
Speaker 2: and tell right your face so in similar fashion, when
Speaker 2: we talked about if you go on a destination wedding
Speaker 2: and you have to spend hundreds of dollars on a
Speaker 2: plane ticket and hotels and everything else, you give a
Speaker 2: smaller gift because you spend one thousand dollars to get there.
Speaker 2: His theory is and I think I kind of agree
Speaker 2: with him. Slices, let us know what you think is
Speaker 2: he's going to give less of a gift because he
Speaker 2: had to spend a few hundred dollars just to go.
Speaker 2: And I think I might agree with that because I went.
Speaker 2: I went to Macy's because Macy's you can get a
Speaker 2: good deal if they have a sale going on, if
Speaker 2: you get a pretty good quality suit but not a
Speaker 2: lot of money. Now, I could have gone to Men's warehouse.
Speaker 2: We were having this conversation, by the way, where you
Speaker 2: get nine suits for forty dollars. But I didn't go
Speaker 2: to Men's Warehouse. I went to Macy's and I found
Speaker 2: a suit I really liked. And I had a great
Speaker 2: woman helping me, you know, because the guy with the
Speaker 2: tape and the and the chalk wasn't working. But a
Speaker 2: woman helped me, and she was terrific. And she found
Speaker 2: me a shirt, a black shirt I liked, and she
Speaker 2: took me around. She got me a suit and a vest.
Speaker 2: I like a three piece suit. So she got me,
Speaker 2: found me a a suit had a vest, and she's like,
Speaker 2: this is a modern cut. You're gonna like it. She
Speaker 2: found me a shirt with a style I like, and
Speaker 2: it was a little trendy in the tar not so Trent. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's important. So I'm really excited, I said, listen she was,
Speaker 2: And everything's fifty percent off. Now. Now, if you've ever
Speaker 2: been to Macy's, their stuff is a little expensive, and
Speaker 2: then fifty percent off makes it moderately expensive. With fifty
Speaker 2: percent off, like, it's like, oh, it's a lot of money,
Speaker 2: but it's fifty percent off. They get you, they mark
Speaker 2: everything up, and then they make it on sale. So
Speaker 2: she says, listen, if you open a Macy's card, you
Speaker 2: get thirty percent off. Now, normally, when you open up
Speaker 2: a credit card at Macy's, it's ten percent off you purchase.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, thirty percent, no problem. Now, before
Speaker 2: I get to that fiasco, I spent hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 2: of dollars to go to this wedding and I love
Speaker 2: calling Marie and Anthony. So my question is, am I
Speaker 2: also entitled to maybe chintz on the gift a little bit? Yea,
Speaker 2: because I spent a shitload of money on I'm never
Speaker 2: gonna wear a black suit again lest it's to a
Speaker 2: f and if you do, and if you do, then
Speaker 2: you need to donate the suit to them too. You
Speaker 2: need to package that up and give it to them,
Speaker 2: because that's part of the present. Can't fit Anthony, can't
Speaker 2: fit my suit. He's freaking let me say something muscular. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And this is what was said to Scottie as well.
Speaker 2: What grown ass man doesn't have a black suit? You're
Speaker 2: you're you're sixty something. You know what? You need to
Speaker 2: have a black suit? Talking about you and I are
Speaker 2: both in our fifties. You talking about you at the
Speaker 2: ladder end of the fifties and me at the beginning beginning.
Speaker 2: You have a black You need a black suit. How
Speaker 2: could you not have that in your wardrobe? How did
Speaker 2: you get what? I wear a blacks? What would I
Speaker 2: wear a black suit for besides get this foreign life
Speaker 2: without owning one black suit? It's kind of like I have.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a prerequisite to being an adult. I
Speaker 2: have one black suit that I bought maybe fifteen years ago,
Speaker 2: and I went to try it on, and not only
Speaker 2: is it no longer in fashion, but it's too big
Speaker 2: on me. Fair enough, but but it doesn't fit what
Speaker 2: they lost weight and and shoes anywhere? Pants fall off me.
Speaker 2: Your black shoes still fit. I didn't look. You have
Speaker 2: black shoes. Of course, I have black black shoes. Have
Speaker 2: black shoes, so and once again, I have black shoes.
Speaker 2: You got black shoes, so you had to buy a suit.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I have black shoes because I
Speaker 2: bought black shoes because they go with every colored suit
Speaker 2: you could own. Black is you get black shoes, You're good.
Speaker 2: So I bought a pair of black shoes again, maybe
Speaker 2: six seven years ago. I don't wear shoes, so I
Speaker 2: wear sneakers every day. Why do any black black suit?
Speaker 2: Slices back me up here, female slices. Does your man
Speaker 2: have a black suit? Does he wear all the time? Slices?
Speaker 2: You wear playing? Come on? You shaded? You mopstay You
Speaker 2: don't have a You don't have a black shirt. You
Speaker 2: had to buy a shirt too. I had to buy
Speaker 2: a shirt. I have a black shirt. Wear wear black shirt,
Speaker 2: white shirt, white shirt, you play pick a ball? Now, okay,
Speaker 2: the white shirt I had too big swimming on me.
Speaker 2: All you needed was a white or black shirt and
Speaker 2: you got to go buy that. But I went down
Speaker 2: like a shirt size and a half. In the past
Speaker 2: year and a half, Well, congratulations, That tell us slices
Speaker 2: how good I love. Do not do not chints on
Speaker 2: their gift they you know, I just that's this way
Speaker 2: this I look at it scary. In two thousand and nine,
Speaker 2: I hired a little blonde girl named carl and Marie
Speaker 2: to be an intern, and then I hired her over
Speaker 2: the show. Hired, but I recommended her to be hired
Speaker 2: to be our phone producer. Then I helped train her
Speaker 2: and groom her and she said, listen, it's all her talent.
Speaker 2: But I helped her become a co host and doing
Speaker 2: segments on the show, and then she went off to
Speaker 2: get her own radio show. But however, by hiring her
Speaker 2: as an intern, she got to meet Anthony, who was
Speaker 2: working for Elvis as his personal Technically, you are responsible
Speaker 2: for them getting married, you is correct? That is correct?
Speaker 2: And who's her her maid of honor? Her sister? Right?
Speaker 2: But who's there in her wedding party. Oh producer Sam? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And who else Ricky in the wedding party. I don't know.
Speaker 2: She may, I don't know. I don't know anyway, Okay,
Speaker 2: producer Sam is her best friend, right yeah? I hired Sam. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I because of me. She has a husband soon
Speaker 2: and a best friend. So I feel like that's enough
Speaker 2: of a gift, don't you think? Man? You know, I'm
Speaker 2: just I'm feeling personally that I'm feeling we can't feel.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling a commercial break coming on. But before that,
Speaker 2: I really, I really do think that you really shouldn't
Speaker 2: take it out on this couple. For you having to
Speaker 2: buy a suit that you will and could wear again
Speaker 2: and again and again. You're gonna get You're gonna get
Speaker 2: it get. You didn't get a life's use out of
Speaker 2: this suit. Oh yeah, think about it. The next time
Speaker 2: someone I know dies, well, it could be about you
Speaker 2: might be the one buried in this suit. At the end,
Speaker 2: I won't be buried in a suit. I'll be buried
Speaker 2: in a some thing METS related. But that being said,
Speaker 2: next time I'm at a funeral, I'll be thinking to myself,
Speaker 2: how sad they're dead. But you know what, I had
Speaker 2: a really good time at calling me and Anthony's wedding.
Speaker 2: Thanks calin me and Anthony. If having a black tie wedding, now,
Speaker 2: I have a suit to go bury a relative of mine.
Speaker 3: It's a boy's podcast.
Speaker 2: I for one am not taking anything out of the gift.
Speaker 2: The gift is the gift, and if anything, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have to, you know, step up to the plate. Because
Speaker 2: have you seen the place. It's very nice. It's a
Speaker 2: really nice place. So and it's a weekend wedding. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not bringing a guest. And I hear the food
Speaker 2: is insane here. I mean it. Actually I was at
Speaker 2: a wedding here at once. It's awesome. It's it's everything
Speaker 2: you want in a wedding venue. So it checks all
Speaker 2: the boxes. This is gonna be maximum scary Jones gift.
Speaker 2: I mean, because if it's black tie, it's fancy bringing
Speaker 2: a guest weekend wedding forgetting I mean, this is I
Speaker 2: feel like that's not fair to me as your co host.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you're not gonna guilt me into giving less. No, No,
Speaker 2: I just feel like maybe you and I should have
Speaker 2: just gone half on a gift, and then it would
Speaker 2: be like, oh from the Brooklyn Boys. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: We're not playing that game. No way, broh, no way.
Speaker 2: I got I got my girlfriend with me and everything.

Speaker 2: really get to I'm looking forward to getting all the
Speaker 2: food that you owe me. You better put that in

Speaker 2: the mail room after I left today that something showed up.
Speaker 2: Another thing showed us be my gift from Reggie get
Speaker 2: that ship. Ye yes, yes, and the label I had
Speaker 2: big scoops. I had them read the label to me,
Speaker 2: and it said something like Scary Jones for David Brody,
Speaker 2: not somebody else's wife. Oh, that's definitely Reggie. That was
Speaker 2: on the on the label, I'm like, that has to
Speaker 2: be Reggie. So yeah, I don't need Cubby's wife getting
Speaker 2: my bike scoops. I'm gonna I'm gonna pick up that, uh,
Speaker 2: that gift for you tomorrow. I'll bring that along with
Speaker 2: everything else. I got so much stuff to hand you, man,
Speaker 2: I mean I can't wait. By the way, if you
Speaker 2: bump into somebody at work who's like outside smoking pot
Speaker 2: and they're baked, I'll be like, oh, you're baked. Here's
Speaker 2: some big scoops out of mind. So thanks Reggie. Reggie
Speaker 2: found baked scoops for me? Is that what Wedmons? The
Speaker 2: world's greatest grocery store? And uh and she picked me
Speaker 2: up a couple of bags. I offered to pick them
Speaker 2: up repay her. She's like, absolutely not, so thank you.
Speaker 2: Reggie up Reggie here, this justin Oh oh oh, speaking
Speaker 2: of Reggie, I gotta tell you what happened to Reggie here.
Speaker 2: We have already agreed that about I don't know ninety
Speaker 2: five ninety four percent something like that depends on them.
Speaker 2: On the week of people who listen to the Brooklyn
Speaker 2: Boys also listen to our companion podcast the Slice Time
Speaker 2: episodes that are listen. You know, our listeners leaving talkback messages,
Speaker 2: voicemails basically to comment about the show. And I think
Speaker 2: the shows are hilarious, but not everybody listens. We can
Speaker 2: tell by the numbers that about five percent don't listen
Speaker 2: to both shows. And that's fine if you don't, if
Speaker 2: you're not a big fan of Slice Time. However, this
Speaker 2: past episode Slice Time, for episode three fifty seven, it
Speaker 2: went off the rails. It went off the rails, out
Speaker 2: of control. This was no excuse for this, Slices. We
Speaker 2: apologize that you need to reclaim your time because because
Speaker 2: we took over your show on this last episode. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I blame Scary because he said something so offensive.
Speaker 2: Struck a nerve. Struck a nerve. Scary pooped on on
Speaker 2: people from the heartland of our country, to the big cities,
Speaker 2: to the mountains, people all over our great country. No
Speaker 2: poo on that pooed them. He put pooed them. I
Speaker 2: didn't put poo them all. I mean, we'll bring it
Speaker 2: up right here, but I don't want to get into
Speaker 2: it again because this is this is like a fifteen
Speaker 2: minute diversion, but Okay. The crux of it was that
Speaker 2: I think that there's something a little sus about grown
Speaker 2: ass adults crying when they meet a Disney character at
Speaker 2: Disney World because costumed character, because it's basically a sweaty
Speaker 2: college kid in the friggin costume. It's like, so it's like,
Speaker 2: you're hugging this kid, you know, And I'm like, what's
Speaker 2: going on? What are you doing? Like again, not faulting
Speaker 2: you for going on rides, for wanting to be excited
Speaker 2: about the excitement of a Disney World, going to Epcot,
Speaker 2: doing all the things you even but even you know,
Speaker 2: I'm even gonna take it as far as not just
Speaker 2: the costume characters Brodie, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like the
Speaker 2: characters dressed up like like Jasmine the Princess, you know,
Speaker 2: or Cinderella or whoever, like these these these characters. So
Speaker 2: so that's the crux of what you're an actor, you're
Speaker 2: an actress. And I disagreed with Skeary. I stood again
Speaker 2: a man of the people. I said, there's something of everybody.
Speaker 2: Here's what you can do. Go and listen to it
Speaker 2: if you haven't already, and then leave us a talk
Speaker 2: back about the time we took over the talkbacks, but
Speaker 2: I I felt very strongly that it's totally okay and
Speaker 2: makes total sense to me that grown adults would be
Speaker 2: moved by meeting a Disney character, And I explained why,
Speaker 2: So go back and listen to Slice time and let
Speaker 2: us know your thoughts, especially if you're someone doesn't normally
Speaker 2: listen to s Lifetime. But in the middle of Lifetime
Speaker 2: it broke out and got it got heated. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I was given some pretty valid parallels on people that
Speaker 2: on things that we shouldn't, Yeah, will look weird. That
Speaker 2: would look weird and sound weird if we did that
Speaker 2: was you know what, I don't want to give it away.
Speaker 2: Just don't give it all away. Listen to this segment.
Speaker 2: Let us know what you think on that, all right,
Speaker 2: because some of you, some of you don't listen to Lifetime.
Speaker 2: You just listen to this main episode, which I'm okay with,
Speaker 2: but you should listen of you are missing out on
Speaker 2: some quality entertainment, all right. So, speaking of giving it
Speaker 2: all away, there's a new I'm not gonna give it anyway,
Speaker 2: there's a new show on Apple TV called Pluribus. It's made,
Speaker 2: It's it's it's created by the same guy, Vince Gilligan
Speaker 2: who created Better Call Saul and uh Breaking Bed. Okay,
Speaker 2: so he's acclaimed TV show creator, and I need to
Speaker 2: know what you would do scary because I feel like,
Speaker 2: again I'm not gonna ruin the show. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: you something that happens in the trailers, and it's a
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be specific, I promise no spoilers. The
Speaker 2: woman in the show who was on Better Call Solid
Speaker 2: so blonde actress. She plays an author, a very cynical,
Speaker 2: I hate the world, author of books, very successful, rich woman,
Speaker 2: and something happens to almost everyone on earth. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: so imagine a zombie apocalypse, right, Imagine everyone's a zombie
Speaker 2: but you and like a handful of other people, the
Speaker 2: whole planet is zombie apocalypse. Okay, so let's just call
Speaker 2: whatever happens in the show, we'll call it a zombie apocalypse.
Speaker 2: I don't give anything way in this show. She's not
Speaker 2: a zombie, but everyone else is a zombie and they're
Speaker 2: not unhappy about it. There's zombies, and she doesn't like
Speaker 2: the fact everyone in zombies. And she meets a couple
Speaker 2: of other people on the whole planet that aren't zombies,
Speaker 2: and she says to them, dude, we gotta we gotta
Speaker 2: do something to fix the planet. We gotta gotta change
Speaker 2: the zombie apocalypse. Gotta find a cure for the zombie apocalypse. Okay. Now,
Speaker 2: in this world, scary, the zombies will do anything you
Speaker 2: want them to do to make you happy. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: So if if you want to have sex with beautiful people,
Speaker 2: or you want to already have food, you want to
Speaker 2: have food, yes, you will want to have any food
Speaker 2: made for you. Uh, you want a new car, you
Speaker 2: want a plane, whatever you want, these zombies will make
Speaker 2: sure you have it. So when she meets these other
Speaker 2: non zombies, she's like, let's go, we gotta work together,
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh fuck that, I'm getting everything I want. Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would would, I would side with them. Why the
Speaker 2: hell would I want to change the rors? Hold on, scary.
Speaker 2: Everyone you know is a zombie. Yes, your girlfriend, everybody,
Speaker 2: your parents, everyone is a zombie. However, anything you want,
Speaker 2: you can walk into a department store, everything is yours
Speaker 2: if you want it. You can go to any car
Speaker 2: on the street. You want to want a private jet,
Speaker 2: they bring you a get How are you not describing
Speaker 2: my paradise? Okay, So what I'm saying is scary. Given
Speaker 2: that scenario where you could maybe get everyone back from
Speaker 2: being zombies or live like a god, pampered day and night,
Speaker 2: which would you want? Would you help try to overde
Speaker 2: kill the ladder? I would want? I would want to
Speaker 2: continue life the way that I get everything that I
Speaker 2: want because I'm a glutton. All right, Yeah, well what
Speaker 2: was there more than this? Or is that you're saying?
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is what's the hook here? You
Speaker 2: would want to be pampered and have sex with anyone
Speaker 2: on the planet at any time and get anything you wanted.
Speaker 2: But Robin's gone, Well she's part of it, she's part
Speaker 2: of the zombie Nope, Nope, she's part of the zombie world.
Speaker 3: Nope.
Speaker 2: Yes, right right, so she doesn't get to be part
Speaker 2: of your world. You're still human. I'm right, I get
Speaker 2: back sex with a zombie, So there I'm good. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: you technically yes you could, but it wouldn't be Robin. Okay,
Speaker 2: who would it be? It would be someone in It
Speaker 2: would be a zombie Robin. It wouldn't be Robin's consciousness
Speaker 2: so you're saying you want to should I get But
Speaker 2: wait a second, But then I could just snap my
Speaker 2: fingers and say, you guys would make me much more
Speaker 2: happier if you guys acted, if you guys acted like
Speaker 2: humans and not zombies, and then they would come back.
Speaker 2: You just said more happier. That thing said, no, you
Speaker 2: can't wish for more wishes. So what you're saying is
Speaker 2: not an option. You either put up with the world.
Speaker 2: Everyone's been fucked up, and not the people that used
Speaker 2: to be but you and the four other people of
Speaker 2: five other people can have whatever they want and live
Speaker 2: like kings and gods. But everyone you know is gone.
Speaker 2: And this is cerebral. All you have to say is scary.
Speaker 2: You could say, you know what, I once had dinner
Speaker 2: at a restaurant in Switzerland in two thousand and five,
Speaker 2: the greatest meal of my life, and then they and
Speaker 2: they make it for you. Boom. You drive a hard
Speaker 2: bargain here. Why would I want the real world back?
Speaker 2: There's so much there's so much trouble, there's problems, it's chaos, right,
Speaker 2: So this is a world with no chaos, and you
Speaker 2: could have whatever you want, but everyone you know is gone,
Speaker 2: sign me up. Okay, slices, what would you do? Leave
Speaker 2: us a talk back on all your family and friends? Back?
Speaker 2: Are you want to be treated like a king and
Speaker 2: a god forever? I'm in all right, I know it,
Speaker 2: I know it a world. It will also be a
Speaker 2: world without commercials. Oh what's that like? Because this isn't
Speaker 2: that exactly? All right? Again, I didn't spoil anything other
Speaker 2: spoilers there. But it's a very good show. I recommend
Speaker 2: it highly. It comes out every week on Friday nights,
Speaker 2: not a sponsor, and three episodes have come out. Now,
Speaker 2: Oh what what's today's day? Oh? Today we are? What
Speaker 2: is it? November twenty No, November eighteenth, nineteenth, nineteenth nineteenth. Here,
Speaker 2: eight forty pm. Your president just signed the bill directing
Speaker 2: the Justice Department to publicly release all of the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: So here we go, everybody, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
Speaker 2: I heard it. I heard it again. Not to get political,
Speaker 2: but Inny, this is not a political thing. This is
Speaker 2: just oh ship, it's going. It's coming everywhere. Boom boom
Speaker 2: boom boom boom boom boom. Yeah, now you saw you
Speaker 2: saw the email. It's all coming out. Blowing Bubba. The
Speaker 2: blowing Bubba email was great, but I heard it was
Speaker 2: it wasn't Bill Clinton's brother. Yes, it was funny for
Speaker 2: an hour. Yeah. So, so imagine as a parade going by, right,
Speaker 2: and you grab a baton from your basement. Right, you
Speaker 2: have a baton in your basement, and you jump out
Speaker 2: in front of the parade and start walking with the
Speaker 2: baton like you're leading the parade, right, And I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's leading the parade, but you're not leading the parade
Speaker 2: because it was already a parade. That's basically what happened
Speaker 2: in the past day two days. Someone realized everyone else
Speaker 2: is already gonna vote for it, and they were like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I vote for it, absolutely, I'm not. Let's go, let
Speaker 2: me get my botinio. But but but you know, really,
Speaker 2: I'm just by the time you hear this podcast, who
Speaker 2: knows what kind of news and what kind of things
Speaker 2: are going to be uncovered, because there's a lot of
Speaker 2: shit that is about to be unearthed. Well, but here's
Speaker 2: the thing, and again I'm not taking aside, hi, I'm
Speaker 2: just telling you, like, what the facts are. Here are
Speaker 2: the facts. The DOJ now has to make a decision
Speaker 2: as to whether or not they're going to release all
Speaker 2: of it, part of it, some of it, redact it,
Speaker 2: meaning cause oh no, he said, go for it, go
Speaker 2: for it. Go everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, no time
Speaker 2: of scenes. You might yeah wink wink. Okay. So here's
Speaker 2: the thing. Some people, I'm just gonna give you some
Speaker 2: facts in case you're not like deep into it, because
Speaker 2: that's a huge story. A lot of people are like, well,
Speaker 2: why didn't Biden release the files if it's such a
Speaker 2: big deal. Here's why, because it's important to what's going
Speaker 2: on today. Gallainne Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend, partner, whatever she was.
Speaker 2: She went to jail in twenty twenty two and then
Speaker 2: she appealed her case. So because it was an active case,
Speaker 2: they couldn't release the files until the case was settled
Speaker 2: in January twenty twenty five, January of this year. Then
Speaker 2: we were legally able to release the files. They were
Speaker 2: not releasable prior to January. Now here's why I'm bringing
Speaker 2: this up. A couple of days ago, when there were
Speaker 2: names kind of leaking out in those early emails, the
Speaker 2: President said, I want my Department of Justice to investigate
Speaker 2: former President Clinton, some other billionaires, a bank, different things. Right. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: here's the thing. If they open up that investigation, then
Speaker 2: they legally can't release the files because there'll be an
Speaker 2: active investigation. What stop being so speculative. I'm just going
Speaker 2: by because I I want to read them. I want to.
Speaker 2: This is you know, I want to. That was the
Speaker 2: point of why I said what I just said, because
Speaker 2: it's let's see where this is going. This made did
Speaker 2: juicee last night, the guy Larry Something. He came out
Speaker 2: and he said, I'm stepping back. I'm stepping out of
Speaker 2: a public life that I was just giving facts. Please
Speaker 2: don't make life time about this the big news, breaking news.
Speaker 2: That's all. No more importantly, I lost my fantasy football
Speaker 2: game by point one four points. Ooh, that has to hurt.
Speaker 2: That has to hurt. That's fourteen yards. That's out of
Speaker 2: my nine players just needed to get fourteen more yards.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm told it happens, man, it happens. So
Speaker 2: on ESPN. I was, I'm watching the Monday night game
Speaker 2: and uh, it says my chances of winning are ninety
Speaker 2: nine percent because it was like six minutes left in
Speaker 2: the game and I needed a point and a half, like, oh,
Speaker 2: chances of winning, and then as the game is getting closer,
Speaker 2: it's like ninety chance, yeah, percent chance. And then the
Speaker 2: game ended.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: I lost. So I saw I love fantasy. The most
Speaker 2: brilliant thing this is. This is great. You're looking at him,
Speaker 2: thank you. Yeah. So obviously porch pirates are a problem, right,
Speaker 2: and they are. They are the worst, and they deserve
Speaker 2: everything that that that's coming to them. Now, I've been
Speaker 2: seeing a series of videos, right, but not what's coming
Speaker 2: to me. They don't deserve what's coming to me. No,
Speaker 2: they don't know, they don't. They take what's coming to
Speaker 2: you and it goes to them. But I'll say that again. Now,
Speaker 2: people telling me these are AI, I don't know if
Speaker 2: they are not. But there's this one video that is
Speaker 2: just magic and it is not AI. But but have
Speaker 2: you seen the series of videos where they they run
Speaker 2: up to the porch, the porch pirate, and they pick
Speaker 2: up the package and it explodes in their face with
Speaker 2: like with paint, it's like a paint bomb. And then okay,
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of videos out there. You can
Speaker 2: google them. Some of them. The really good ones are
Speaker 2: when the package doesn't explode until they get to their car,
Speaker 2: so they run into the car and then the fucking
Speaker 2: paint goes into the car all over. But there's there's
Speaker 2: there's a series of these where the package blows up
Speaker 2: and it's like bright pink paint, yellow paint, blue paint
Speaker 2: in their face, gets everywhere, gets in their car. I
Speaker 2: think the average person, the average person can create a
Speaker 2: paint point. Well apparently no, you they're expensive, but you can. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you can actually buy these rigged gifts, right, you could
Speaker 2: buy these rigged Now again, people are telling me, nah,
Speaker 2: that's AI. That's not real. Regard Brody. Regardless if those
Speaker 2: are real or not, you cannot legally buy sellowship a
Speaker 2: package rigged to explode with paint. As such items are
Speaker 2: classified as illegal booby traps or hazardous materials. We're not handled.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't exist always an AI. That's the bigger question.
Speaker 2: All right, But here's what you can do, all right,
Speaker 2: all right, yep, here's what you can do. And this
Speaker 2: this video is not AI. It's real. Somebody packaged up
Speaker 2: their old broken damage TV set and they packaged it
Speaker 2: up and they put it on their porch and they
Speaker 2: just waited and sure enough a porch pirate came had
Speaker 2: fucking hauled that thing away. So they turned a porch
Speaker 2: pirate into a junk lugger and that was fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2: Oh that's very fun. That's great. So if there's some
Speaker 2: shit that you want to get rid of, brody, that's like,
Speaker 2: ough this garbage box it up, put it on your
Speaker 2: porch and just wait and then somebody's Facebook marketplace take
Speaker 2: your shit out. No, but if it's something that's beyond
Speaker 2: shit broken damage television, that would be amazing. I'm just
Speaker 2: like that. Now, I feel like that's a very brody move. Uh,
Speaker 2: it's a brody move. Now, what I'm reading online is
Speaker 2: if you have a glitter bomb package, it says you
Speaker 2: A lot of influences are putting up videos with glitter
Speaker 2: bomb packages for porch pirates and whatnot. Now, I don't
Speaker 2: know if it would stand up in court, but if
Speaker 2: you get injured opening up a booby trapped package, you
Speaker 2: could sue. Now, whether you win or not is another story. Yeah. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: imagine that a porch pirate. Yeah, the worst of humanity,
Speaker 2: some of the worst, some of the worst are porch pirates. Hey,
Speaker 2: have you ever been a victim of being a porch pirate,
Speaker 2: slices you drop us a talk back, not of being
Speaker 2: a no arch pirated. Have you ever been porch pirated?
Speaker 2: Or are you a porch pirate? We want to hear
Speaker 2: from you too. No, we don't. You'll not, You'll not,
Speaker 2: you will not remain anonymous. We will not change your voice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So what else is news? Anything? Good? Well? I started
Speaker 2: telling you about the suit I bought. So the woman
Speaker 2: at Macy's tells me, oh, if you open up a
Speaker 2: Macon's credit card, you have thirty percent off. So I said, well, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, every ten years or so I opened up
Speaker 2: a Macy's credit card for the discount and then I
Speaker 2: don't use it and it gets closed. He said, oh no, no,
Speaker 2: how long has it been. I said, I don't know
Speaker 2: about may be ten years I had it. Oh, oh,
Speaker 2: you should be fine. I said, all right. I said,
Speaker 2: what happens if I already have an account? There's no, No,
Speaker 2: you're fine. So she looks at up. She says, you
Speaker 2: don't have an account. You're good. It's okay, great, Now
Speaker 2: my credit scores is My credit scores are great. I
Speaker 2: have money in the bank. It's all good. We get
Speaker 2: money in the bank. You have money in the that's
Speaker 2: by buy you a drink. You're gonna buy you a
Speaker 2: try Yeah, all right, yo, thirty percent off is like,
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a couple of hundred bucks almost
Speaker 2: considering how much I'm spending on his suit and his
Speaker 2: shirt and the vest and everything. So I run the
Speaker 2: credit card and she goes, oh, it was declined. I said, what, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you didn't get approved. I said, how could I not
Speaker 2: get approved? Are talking about now? I said, uh, now
Speaker 2: before you slices are like, well, you're unemployed. I I
Speaker 2: put down a household income that was approvable, right, and
Speaker 2: I again, my credit's good, I have money in the bank.
Speaker 2: I have. I just realized something that if you're unemployed
Speaker 2: and you admit that that they might they might know.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that they could not approval. Here's the thing,
Speaker 2: it's possible for them to not approve it. Right. I
Speaker 2: put down the household income and I included whatever little
Speaker 2: money we make on the Brooklyn Boys, and it came
Speaker 2: to a decent number. Okay, the number, solid number? It
Speaker 2: all right? So she's just so sorry. Just we've been
Speaker 2: having a problem lately where it's been declining people I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know. So I take out my
Speaker 2: credit card ma app and I show her I have
Speaker 2: a very high credit score, and she goes, oh my,
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I don't know what this could be.
Speaker 2: So not only did I not get the discount or
Speaker 2: thirty percent off, but now I have a credit hit
Speaker 2: on my account. Yeah, because they made it hard inquiry,
Speaker 2: which is a hard inquiry that that that you'll take
Speaker 2: a little bit of a hit for that. Are they
Speaker 2: going to rectify the situation? Well, they told me I'll
Speaker 2: receive a letter in the mail in five to ten
Speaker 2: business days with that possibly might explain, and then I
Speaker 2: can appeal it and come back with the letter and
Speaker 2: and uh. So I called the credit card company. I
Speaker 2: called the division that handles it, and I got, you know,
Speaker 2: not in America. When I answered yes, oh uh, he
Speaker 2: said his name was Cliff. Okay, this is Cliff. Okay,
Speaker 2: you're not Cliff right. Then he goes, I gotta transfer
Speaker 2: you to the applications department. So then I so, then
Speaker 2: I got I got let me check my notes here, Janet.
Speaker 2: I got Janet, and Janet says to me, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we can't help you, I said, But Cliff told me
Speaker 2: you guys can help me. Yeah, you'll get a letter
Speaker 2: in the mail I got. I know, but I want
Speaker 2: to fix this because I want my discount. Uh, there's
Speaker 2: nobody here that can tell you why you would you
Speaker 2: would turn down? Wow, you'll get a letter. Will the
Speaker 2: letter tell me? Probably not. So I'm gonna get a
Speaker 2: letter confirming I was turned down. Wud already know it's
Speaker 2: not gonna tell me why. So I bought a suit.
Speaker 2: At that point, Gary, I couldn't put anything back. No, no,
Speaker 2: you had to go forward with it. I like, oh,
Speaker 2: I didn't get the I didn't get the thing. Well,
Speaker 2: then put the shirt back and I'll go some and
Speaker 2: get a cheap shirt. Like I felt awkward. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll just buy it and then if
Speaker 2: if it's a problem, then I'll buy a cheap shirt
Speaker 2: somewhere else. And we turned this one. But I wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna like not take it there and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: well I'm not getting my discount. Take the shirt back,

Speaker 2: let me call my manager see if they can fix it.
Speaker 2: So she calls the manager and he says, would you
Speaker 2: like to run it again? We can give it another shot.
Speaker 2: And I said, if I run it again when I
Speaker 2: get another credit hit, yes, yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker 2: Now I'm not getting a second credit hit. She's just, oh, yeah,

Speaker 2: not pitching tents. Bro We stayed at my buddy's house.
Speaker 2: Did you blow Bubba in the woods? I was up there.
Speaker 2: We went to uh well, first of all, we went
Speaker 2: to Cornwall on Hudson and uh you a cornwalling? And
Speaker 2: we went to Now we went to our favorite place
Speaker 2: we did it, did it three years in a row now,
Speaker 2: the Drowned Lands Brewery in Warwick, New York. We had
Speaker 2: an awesome time drinking all afternoon, hanging out there. It's
Speaker 2: artisanal pizza there that they you know, beautiful old school
Speaker 2: pizza oven. Wait a minute. Artisanal pizza means it's handmade
Speaker 2: like all pizza. Yeah, hand made, well, artisical, but the
Speaker 2: rustic kind, you know you know what I mean, right,
Speaker 2: not the mass produced pizza had had, wouldn't it. It
Speaker 2: wasn't Papa John's dick. It was an actual, real like
Speaker 2: handmade calling it artisanal, no, it was. It was good.
Speaker 2: We had a good time there all afternoon, and then
Speaker 2: we went up. We went up to Beacon, New York,
Speaker 2: which is really Beacon's beautiful Beacon. Beacon is you can
Speaker 2: go antiquing Antiakon and Beacon you can. We we didn't
Speaker 2: go antiquing, but but we we went been to the
Speaker 2: I've been to the Beacon theater. Now can you see
Speaker 2: beacon from a long distance? Is that a joke? Yeah,
Speaker 2: like if you're beacon. Yeah, that's where I thought you
Speaker 2: were going with that. There's no lake. You didn't go
Speaker 2: out on the lake. I was thinking maybe you go
Speaker 2: out a lake and no, no, no, we went to
Speaker 2: a restaurant, I mean a couple of bars. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: in the sleeping situation, it was a little awkward, but uh,
Speaker 2: you know, something was on the bottom. I nope, I
Speaker 2: was a room in the room by myself, in the
Speaker 2: bunk bed bottom. That was by myself, all right, So
Speaker 2: there was no one ever tell you woke up? Were
Speaker 2: you still by yourself? I was still by myself? Of course.
Speaker 2: One thing I noticed, though, when we go out of town,
Speaker 2: you would come to me. You know me, and you
Speaker 2: know me and and Google ratings, right, oh, absolutely, I live.
Speaker 2: I live by my and died by my Google ratings.
Speaker 2: You used to be as a gad guy, you lived
Speaker 2: and died by the gad Well, well I learned that
Speaker 2: and you guys, could this is google able that Yelp
Speaker 2: is bought and paid for and is never an honest review?
Speaker 2: You can you can actually pay. I can't say never
Speaker 2: because I've left honest reviews all right, No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: the reviews you are If you don't, if you're a business,
Speaker 2: a small business, and you're not paying into Yelp, you're screwed.
Speaker 2: But if you pay into Yelp, you can actually pay
Speaker 2: to have bad reviews removed. And are you saying it's
Speaker 2: like the mafia? Yeah, hey a top So you may
Speaker 2: see some four point seven eight to nine on Yelp knowing,
Speaker 2: but the bad reviews have been removed, probably by the
Speaker 2: business because they paid for it. You can't do that
Speaker 2: with Google ratings. So they're right away, right up from
Speaker 2: the jump, they're a lot more honest. Well what I say,
Speaker 2: I got what is the restaurant owner pay one hundred
Speaker 2: people he knows to give great park There are some
Speaker 2: places that may do that that say, hey, leave us
Speaker 2: a great review, you get twenty percent off your bill,
Speaker 2: But for the most part, damn party does that. They're
Speaker 2: pretty they're okay. I would say that they're fairly accurate.
Speaker 2: So when I see with Scary Jones when I'm talking
Speaker 2: about myself on the third person, Scary Jones sees a
Speaker 2: four point five or fourth quarter is scary. You're pretty
Speaker 2: much the third person. Thanks. When I see a four
Speaker 2: point five and above, I get excited because I know
Speaker 2: that that's a special place. It's hard to sustain a
Speaker 2: thousand reviews. Let's say, if a thousand reviews and have
Speaker 2: a four point five and up in New York City
Speaker 2: or the area around here, you're always gonna be It's
Speaker 2: always gonna be a home run. You're never gonna be disappointed. However,
Speaker 2: terrible at maths. You're terrible at math scary because the
Speaker 2: more reviews you have at a four point five means
Speaker 2: the more reviews bad reviews. You needed to bring that
Speaker 2: from a five to a four point five. No no,
Speaker 2: no, no yet, no, no no, you're not understanding not understanding this. No, no,
Speaker 2: no bad no. Hold on the four point five. Nope, okay,
Speaker 2: no one gives it, gives these restaurants five five five,
Speaker 2: I mean the stars. Here's what happens. You gotta play.
Speaker 2: How do I even explain this? Restaurants? Yes, I know,
Speaker 2: but there's gonna be there's gonna be there's gonna be
Speaker 2: like the the law of averages and the or the
Speaker 2: there'll be points taken away because people give it one
Speaker 2: star for let's say, bad service here and there or
Speaker 2: whatever that means. They have a lot of one stars
Speaker 2: to bring it from five to yes. No, but you
Speaker 2: have to no, no, no, no, no. A lot a lot
Speaker 2: of people downvote these fucking places. They're a lot more
Speaker 2: critical and a lot more harsh on Google ratings. So
Speaker 2: so if you have a four point five and above
Speaker 2: in in New York and these places with a thousand
Speaker 2: thousand ratings, it's hard to sustain that. But those those
Speaker 2: are considered amazing restaurants, Those are excellent four point five point,
Speaker 2: four point six, four point seven. It's hard, it's hard
Speaker 2: to keep up. No one's got a fucking five. Oh,
Speaker 2: No one who got a five? Oh? There's always there's
Speaker 2: always an asshole like you out there, and and there's
Speaker 2: a lot of you. There's a lot of Caro. I
Speaker 2: don't leave. I don't leave a lot of car lot
Speaker 2: of Karen I leave good reviews. Here's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: You shop on eBay Okay, I have one hundred percent
Speaker 2: positive ratings. That's different. No, no shout back back. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you'll see a company with a ninety nine point five
Speaker 2: percent positive rating. Now you think that's pretty good, don't you.
Speaker 2: Ninety nine point five percent, that's great. They've sold twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand things. Oh my god. Okay, But then you
Speaker 2: look and you see this eighteen hundred negative reviews. That
Speaker 2: means eighteen times they fucked up. That means out of
Speaker 2: one hundred, uh a half out of one hundred is bad.
Speaker 2: I get that. I get that. That means one out
Speaker 2: of two hundred is bad. I get that. That's pretty
Speaker 2: good odds, except this eighteen hundred bad reviews. I'm not
Speaker 2: buying from them. You should have no bad reviews. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, but if you do business, if you do
Speaker 2: business on such a large scale like that, you're bound
Speaker 2: to have cola. Not if you read them and they
Speaker 2: get very specific o activity. My point is, no, here's
Speaker 2: here's what you should do. Go to any restaurant review,
Speaker 2: any business review. Don't read the positive reviews. You read
Speaker 2: the negative reviews because if they say and then you
Speaker 2: see if they're valid or not. If somebody writes, I
Speaker 2: went and there's a roach in my pasta, and then
Speaker 2: someone else writes there was a roach in my pasta.
Speaker 2: Then guess what a thousand good reviews. I don't care
Speaker 2: if two people saw roaches in the pasta. I'm out
Speaker 2: saying yourself the time anyone. Chances are those places are
Speaker 2: going to have other things wrong with them as well,
Speaker 2: and they will get down voted a lot quicker, you
Speaker 2: know it is. I don't want to argue with you
Speaker 2: on this Google ratings things for resting, specifically Google Google
Speaker 2: ratings for restaurants. When you see all right, forget about
Speaker 2: what Brody just said for a second. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: When you see a four point five and above four
Speaker 2: point six, four point seven, you're in a fucking insanely
Speaker 2: awesome restaurant and you will never go wrong, despite what
Speaker 2: Brody's telling you. And can you go to a restaurant
Speaker 2: with a four point eight that's a great restaurant. Hold on,
Speaker 2: My larger point of this entire conversation is four point
Speaker 2: five is it's trash? It's no, it's not. Four point
Speaker 2: five is awesome. Four point five is really good. It's
Speaker 2: hard to sustain a four point five with a thousand rating.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. But hold on, you
Speaker 2: were in a world where everyone was a zombie and
Speaker 2: you were the only one left alive, would you want
Speaker 2: them to bring you food from a four point five
Speaker 2: or a four point eight. You're not even letting me
Speaker 2: get to finish. Finish, go ahead, I'm sorry. Otherwise Slices
Speaker 2: will tell me that interrupted. Sorry, go ahead. What I'm
Speaker 2: saying is if four point five it just humor me
Speaker 2: for a second, Brody. If four point five and above
Speaker 2: is an amazing, outstanding restaurant, which according to say, which
Speaker 2: fuck Brody it is, trust me, Slices, I'm the foodie
Speaker 2: he's not. Or I'm the man of the people. For
Speaker 2: whatever reason. When you go to a smaller town like
Speaker 2: a beacon or your neighborhood whatever, mm hmm, a four
Speaker 2: point five, who are like a three point five? It
Speaker 2: We went to a place which I was so disappointed.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna give the name out. I don't want
Speaker 2: to ruin their small business. But the food sucked. The
Speaker 2: pork wasn't porking, the steak wasn't staking, it was gross,
Speaker 2: and the food was bland. The tuna tartars, the tuna
Speaker 2: crispy rice had was bland had no taste to it,
Speaker 2: no flavor. Take me to flavor town and we all
Speaker 2: look at each other. I'm like, this is a four
Speaker 2: point five that's supposed to be awesome. This is not
Speaker 2: a four point five, guys, I'm sorry. So I think
Speaker 2: you hate when you're when you're you're tuna tartar is
Speaker 2: not as good as you'd like. Don't hate, that's like,
Speaker 2: no hold on even But we had we spent a
Speaker 2: lot of apps. We sput a lot of apps. But
Speaker 2: I feel like they don't have an advanced palette, so
Speaker 2: they don't know what good food is. Oh there he is.
Speaker 2: That was the big wind up. You went to small
Speaker 2: town America. Yeah, I went to a small town and
Speaker 2: you want you or a tartar? Was the baked Alaska
Speaker 2: taking too long? We all listen. Some people ordered burger
Speaker 2: and fries. They couldn't even do the fries right, they
Speaker 2: were The fries were fucking soggy as hell, as we
Speaker 2: say in Italian shanghat. It was gross, bro, it was disgusting.
Speaker 2: This would not be you would have you would have
Speaker 2: sent three things back. And I was appalled, and we
Speaker 2: were looking at each other, and one buddy was like,
Speaker 2: it has a four point five, it should be awesome,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you're right, it should be. But I
Speaker 2: came to the conclusion that when you go to smaller
Speaker 2: it takes less to please them and it takes less
Speaker 2: for them to give it high marks. Okay, I would
Speaker 2: like to say two things. If you would listen to
Speaker 2: David Brodie's advice, you would have said four point five,
Speaker 2: I'm not eating there. Second, of all slices, I would
Speaker 2: like to apologize to the large amount of slices that
Speaker 2: live in small town America who enjoy our podcast, who
Speaker 2: have a wonderful palette, a taste palette, and appreciate good food,
Speaker 2: who go to places and get whatever they want, whether
Speaker 2: it's steak or this is not now, this is don't
Speaker 2: try and and couch me as that guy. Okay, this
Speaker 2: is not me throwing shade at because your couch is
Speaker 2: hard and you're not. No who listen in smaller towns.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I heard what you said. I heard overall, Mike,
Speaker 2: go on overall they It goes back to the pizza conversation.
Speaker 2: We have the best and most available pizza in the
Speaker 2: fuck in the universe. So you in your in Brody
Speaker 2: same similar in Verty's similar and analogy. He'll say, then,
Speaker 2: how can it How can new Haven pizza and people
Speaker 2: there judge what good pizza is. They're in New Haven.
Speaker 2: There's only a few great standout places, So how can
Speaker 2: new Haven be the pizza mecca of the world? To that,
Speaker 2: because people people in Connecticut grew up liking that style
Speaker 2: of pizza, and I get that. But New York has
Speaker 2: all styles of pizza, and we've already beat that to death.
Speaker 2: What you did was you said, anyone from a small
Speaker 2: town has no taste palette. That's what you said. I
Speaker 2: did not say that. I said I did rewind the tape.
Speaker 2: If we had tape, I red. There's no such thing
Speaker 2: as tape. I know no. But and again, this is
Speaker 2: not a bougie thing. This is an observation. There's no
Speaker 2: other way. What you had? What did you have that
Speaker 2: you like? The state tartar? Would no my pork, the caviar,
Speaker 2: the pork chop caviar. It was a pork chop, bro
Speaker 2: it was. And the asparagus sucked, and so and so
Speaker 2: was a golden flake disparagram. We had Brussels sprouts, we
Speaker 2: had you know what was good, the onion rings. The
Speaker 2: onion rings were great, so the onion rings, the onion rings.
Speaker 2: But I'm just trying to search for an answer really
Speaker 2: as to why a four point five, which which by
Speaker 2: the way, is a really great fucking score. Trust me, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. In the world, why is a four
Speaker 2: point five? You they're different than a four point five
Speaker 2: in a bigger city, okay. Number one, the people there
Speaker 2: may appreciate the tuna tartar there, or maybe they get
Speaker 2: but maybe they go for onion rings and they give
Speaker 2: it a high score. Maybe they go for the things
Speaker 2: that they liked, that they do well. And you what
Speaker 2: you did, scary. You went to a diner, all right,
Speaker 2: and ordered chicken palm and were disappointed that it wasn't great.
Speaker 2: You went to a diner and ordered something like a
Speaker 2: fancy lobster dish, and you're like, I can't believe that
Speaker 2: the diner didn't do my los to the right way.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't go to a small town then at a
Speaker 2: restaurant you never been to. It isn't known for that
Speaker 2: tun of ta tar in order toun to tatar. Is
Speaker 2: it a seafood place? No? Because you have just proved
Speaker 2: you are a re Tar Tar and I didn't say
Speaker 2: the words. So it's okay.
Speaker 3: The Brooklyn Boys Podcast We will be right back.
Speaker 2: Scary. There's a movie out this weekend. I'm so excited
Speaker 2: for it's it's a movie that you wouldn't see because
Speaker 2: you don't go to the movies. But if you like
Speaker 2: John Wick gun Fo type movies, gun Foo. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: told you about a movie about a year ago called
Speaker 2: I think it was The Train or Train Ride or
Speaker 2: something like that, and it was an Indian film where
Speaker 2: the guy gets on the train and basically that people
Speaker 2: are trying to kill him, so he kills one hundreds
Speaker 2: of people. It's a great movie. Oh it's called Kill.
Speaker 2: It's called Kill anyway if you like that kind of movie,
Speaker 2: NonStop action, no plot necessary, not a lot of dialogue,
Speaker 2: just the clever ways to kill people. A movie came
Speaker 2: out about a year and a half ago called Se
Speaker 2: Sue sis U. Takes place in the forties or in
Speaker 2: the thirties, so the Nazis exists at that point, and
Speaker 2: it's a guy I think he's from Finland and he's
Speaker 2: on the Finland German border, so he's near the border
Speaker 2: of Germany. Okay, I think it's Finland. If anyway they
Speaker 2: they I'm not gonna tell you too much about that
Speaker 2: movie other than people kill his family, and like any
Speaker 2: good action film where somebody kills your family, you want
Speaker 2: to make them pay. And he goes go see this
Speaker 2: movie c Sue Si Su and he doesn't speak. The
Speaker 2: man doesn't speak. He doesn't talk the whole movie. He
Speaker 2: may have like two words. He's just a big burly
Speaker 2: man with a beard, and he kills people in unique, hilarious,
Speaker 2: kick ass ways. And it's a lot of Nazis. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: kill those Nazis. Okay, it was fantastic. This weekend's scary.
Speaker 2: The sequel is out and it's called Cisu Road to Revenge,
Speaker 2: and just like the last one, terrific reviews ninety eight
Speaker 2: percent on Rotten Tomatoes four and a half out of
Speaker 2: five stars, which, by the way, four and a half
Speaker 2: out of five stars is better than a restaurant that
Speaker 2: gets four and a half out of Okay, rody whatever, because
Speaker 2: movies don't typically get one star, so four and a
Speaker 2: half means it's probably mostly fours and fives, whereas restaurants
Speaker 2: get a lot of ones. And two's that bring it down.
Speaker 2: It's a different rating system before you're like four and
Speaker 2: a half. I'm recommending going to see Seasu. Now that
Speaker 2: being said, I had a little problem at Taco Bell
Speaker 2: because I think I told you this. They brought back
Speaker 2: the chili cheese burrito. Did I tell you this story? No,
Speaker 2: for a limited time only they did. Oh oh okay,
Speaker 2: yeah you did. They brought back nineties week, nineties month,
Speaker 2: and it was supposed to end November first, nineties month
Speaker 2: is over. Well. On my Facebook feed, Taco Bell, your
Speaker 2: official Facebook account and Instagram advertised, we heard you. We're
Speaker 2: keeping the chili chili cheese burrito on the menu. Great,
Speaker 2: You're not alone. I'm so excited and I just can't
Speaker 2: hide it. So I go to a place and order.
Speaker 2: I told you this last week, and it's no longer
Speaker 2: in the app. Gone. So they told me they could
Speaker 2: add it to my order. Okay, I remember this, yes,
Speaker 2: this whole yep. I don't know how to do that, Okay,
Speaker 2: So I emailed a comment to corporate. In the app,
Speaker 2: it says email us your comments, give us feedback, and
Speaker 2: I said, hey, you know, I'm a big fan of
Speaker 2: the chili cheese burrito, and I gave them. It says
Speaker 2: what location you have to put in what store you
Speaker 2: went to? And I said, listen, I live in New
Speaker 2: Jersey at this store. It's not in the app you're
Speaker 2: selling it. It's not in the app. So I get
Speaker 2: a phone call a couple of days ago from Mike.
Speaker 2: Mike is the manager of the Taco Bell that I
Speaker 2: go to. I said, hey, Mike, what's going on. He goes, hey,
Speaker 2: I got you your email and it gets flagged as
Speaker 2: a criticism of our store, even though it was about
Speaker 2: the app. I said, I didn't criticize your store. You
Speaker 2: guys are great. All I said was he goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: But because you listed our store at the beginning when
Speaker 2: it asked you, corporate doesn't even see it. It goes
Speaker 2: right to the local store. So, guys, if you go
Speaker 2: to Taco Bell and you want to complain to corporate
Speaker 2: about something you can't, it goes right to the local store.
Speaker 2: So it's got to be an idea for this. There's
Speaker 2: got to be a way to find someone's email address
Speaker 2: in the corporate chain. I guess there is. Go on
Speaker 2: LinkedIn or call the eight hundred number. But the point
Speaker 2: is the app fucked me. So then Mike is like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: I have to make sure you're happy so I can
Speaker 2: report to my regional so we don't get a strike
Speaker 2: against us. I said, Mike, I love you guys. I'm
Speaker 2: there all the time, nothing but Rave reviews, except you
Speaker 2: know a couple of years ago when you used to
Speaker 2: make me pull over by the garbage because you didn't
Speaker 2: want me to sit and get timed. But I didn't
Speaker 2: bring that up. They don't do that anymore, he says. Listen,
Speaker 2: here's what I'm gonna do. I feel terrible, he said.
Speaker 2: If you can't order it through the app. My name's Mike.
Speaker 2: You come in. I'm there almost every day, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to give you. I'm going to give you some
Speaker 2: free chili cheese burritos as my way of saying it's nice.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, that's terrific. That's terrific, he said. But listen,
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you. They're taking it away.
Speaker 2: In New Jersey. It's a regional item, and in some
Speaker 2: parts of the country it's staying like Arizona, New Mexico.
Speaker 2: But here in New Jersey it's going off the menu
Speaker 2: and individual franchise owners can decide if they want to
Speaker 2: order the seasoning, but we are not. I have forty
Speaker 2: pounds of seasoning at the store and our boss decided
Speaker 2: we're not going to sell it anymore. So if you want,
Speaker 2: I'll give you a big bag in seasoning for free.
Speaker 2: I can't do anything with it, I said, what am
Speaker 2: I going to do with a pound of seasoning? He goes,
Speaker 2: could make tacos, You could do whatever you want, and
Speaker 2: you can read you'll have that. I was about to say,
Speaker 2: you'll have that flavor on just about anything that you want.
Speaker 2: So I said great. So he says, come by, So
Speaker 2: I said, I, I'll come by in a couple of days.
Speaker 2: So today is what Wednesday. I went by Monday a full.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll get some lunch. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: buy and I'll get a couple of free chili cheese
Speaker 2: burritos because, as he told me, it's expiring. They're taking
Speaker 2: it off the menu. I had five days. That was Monday,
Speaker 2: which means Friday or Saturday roughly it's gone. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna get a couple. So I go,
Speaker 2: and I go, and I it's in the app scary
Speaker 2: it's back in the app. I couldn't be more excited.
Speaker 2: I'm like, holy shit, it's back in the app. I
Speaker 2: guess somebody heard me. So I order five of them.
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck it, I'm gonna order enough. It's gonna
Speaker 2: get me through the week because they'll give me gone.
Speaker 2: I go to the drive through. The AI says, is
Speaker 2: this your order to look? Correct? Is you want to look?
Speaker 2: I guess it does. I'm so excited, and I pull around.
Speaker 2: I figure, you know what, I'm gonna buy five and
Speaker 2: if Mike's there, he'll give me a couple of extra
Speaker 2: because he sees I'm I'm a legit fan of the
Speaker 2: chili cheese brito. I get to the window. I get
Speaker 2: to the window and there's the woman with the headset
Speaker 2: and one of the cooks, the tall guy, And I said, Hi, yeah, Hi,
Speaker 2: how you doing? You ordered the five chili cheese Britos? Yes?
Speaker 2: I did. Is Mike here? No, Mike's not here. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: what's up? Can you pull around and come in the store. Why, well,
Speaker 2: there's a line of cars behind you. No, I get that,
Speaker 2: But why do you want to come in the store?
Speaker 2: She says, we have to heat up the chili for
Speaker 2: the chili cheese burrito, and we have to mix it,
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be it's gonna be a little while.
Speaker 2: And I said, what do you mean it's on the menu.
Speaker 2: What do you mean. Yeah, we didn't make any of
Speaker 2: this morning, and we have to mix it and put
Speaker 2: the seasoning on it and put the So she says,
Speaker 2: have you come in, it'll be like ten minutes tops.
Speaker 2: So I said, you know what, I'm good, just cancel
Speaker 2: my order. Sheas, you have to cancel the order in
Speaker 2: the app. I said, I no problem. Meanwhile, it's her fault.
Speaker 2: So I pull over and I pull over by the
Speaker 2: garbage pail and I go to cancel the order. I
Speaker 2: can't cancel the order. Scary, Why because not only the restaurant. No,
Speaker 2: the restaurant has already started making your order. Oh you
Speaker 2: can't cancel it. Oh shit. So I had to go
Speaker 2: in now because I just rang up like fifteen dollars
Speaker 2: worth of chili cheese burritos. So I had to go
Speaker 2: in and I had to get my money back, so
Speaker 2: I didn't get any chili cheese burritos. I said, when's
Speaker 2: Mike going to be here? We don't have Mike's schedule.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if Mike works there. I need
Speaker 2: a chili brit scary before they take them off the Metica. Well,
Speaker 2: why don't you, Why don't you go to a restaurant
Speaker 2: that serves him in a four point seven rather than
Speaker 2: the three point eight taco bell that you decided to
Speaker 2: go to. Okay, scary, All the taco bells are three
Speaker 2: point seven exactly, They really are, every single one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I love them. That's it. Yeah, just a public service.
Speaker 2: I don't know. This has been on my mind lately
Speaker 2: at service announcement. No, I just this is this is again,
Speaker 2: this is the uh, the the the crumbling of of
Speaker 2: of humanity. Okay, there's ay who doesn't care if humanity does.
Speaker 2: Another viral trend that I'm seeing where people are filming
Speaker 2: themselves in traffic passing a car wreck and then the
Speaker 2: car is like upside down or wrapped around the tree,
Speaker 2: and the people are going through the worst their likes life,
Speaker 2: and and you hear them say you can't part there,
Speaker 2: and then the people get fucking angry, and they're already
Speaker 2: in a time of despair and pissed off. They're trying
Speaker 2: to be funny. They're they're rage baiting. They're rage baiting
Speaker 2: the people that are already having a shitty fucking day. No,
Speaker 2: they're trying to get a fun video where it's like,
Speaker 2: Aha'm being funny. You can well it's a viral trend
Speaker 2: and it's got a fucking stop. You don't, you don't.
Speaker 2: You don't do that to people in their worst moment,
Speaker 2: in their worst hour, when they're when they're agonizing, or
Speaker 2: god forbid, somebody's trapped in a vehicle or something, or
Speaker 2: they're they're hurt and they're they're all they get people
Speaker 2: when they're all discombobulated, when they're all like and they go,
Speaker 2: you can't park there, you know, it's illegal to park there.
Speaker 2: And then the people, some of them come running at
Speaker 2: trying to you know, running at the cars, and then
Speaker 2: they speed away. But that's fucked up other than I
Speaker 2: looked in the comments and some people are like, oh no,
Speaker 2: that was a voiceover. They just voiced that over. They
Speaker 2: just found that d No. No, A lot of them
Speaker 2: are actually real, A lot of them are And that's
Speaker 2: pretty shitty. I don't know, that's all. I just wanted
Speaker 2: to say that there's no punchline here, there's no funny moment,
Speaker 2: there's no haha, that's just rude. Does and then did
Speaker 2: the package explode and pink on all over the people
Speaker 2: that were exactly just be better at people. You didn't
Speaker 2: see these their rage baiting videos. But yeah, they they
Speaker 2: want to make a funny viral video. They think they're
Speaker 2: going to get clicks and likes and follows, and they're
Speaker 2: just at other people's expenses. While people are are in
Speaker 2: an accident on the side of the road, they have
Speaker 2: to fucking yell that out the window. Yeah, that's terrible,
Speaker 2: terrible people. All right, on that note, that down note,
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, all right.
Speaker 3: With Scary and Brodie.
Speaker 2: All right, Scary, would you like to hear a terrible
Speaker 2: voiceover commercial or some Facebook riddles with some really bad answers?
Speaker 2: I want to hear and I actually want to hear
Speaker 2: the audio. Okay, let me plug this in if you can.
Speaker 2: I I edited out the company names. You might hear
Speaker 2: like a little glitch in the middle. But this is
Speaker 2: supposed to be a husband and wife or a brother
Speaker 2: and sister or whatever talking about their problems and making
Speaker 2: it sound natural. Now she's average at best, but he's terrible.
Speaker 2: You've heard these commercials, Oh, Mike, the sink's broken again,
Speaker 2: and they're like, we really should have brought insurance. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we should have. So listen to this commercial and tell
Speaker 2: me how this guy, what would you hire this company
Speaker 2: that hired these people as their voice over people. Listen
Speaker 2: to the guy.

Speaker 2: Kay. So he should have said, you're telling me right.
Speaker 2: Our bills are piling up, and he should have said,
Speaker 2: you're telling me, But instead he says, you're telling me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, up, you're telling me credit cards are maxed out,
Speaker 3: red as due, and the car payments right around the corner.
Speaker 3: He needs some extra cash.

Speaker 2: one of the.
Speaker 4: Largest personal loan networks.

Speaker 2: Sounds like hassle crazy.

Speaker 2: do this commercial? And the writing is pissed poor. Also,
Speaker 2: you're telling me, yeah, she's telling you exact exactly. No, no,

Speaker 4: Tom is one of the largest personal loan network.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's going to be a hassle.
Speaker 4: My friend said it was super easy. She did it
Speaker 4: right from her phone during her lunch break.
Speaker 2: She didn't right, I found it. Yeah, you're telling me,
Speaker 2: is there more? No, that's it. I I edited up.
Speaker 2: Like the voice the voiceover guy at the end is like,
Speaker 2: you should use this company. He's terrible also, but he
Speaker 2: kept saying the name of the company. I don't want
Speaker 2: to edit it. I can't believe, like like she's so
Speaker 2: surprised by her own statement. She did it right from
Speaker 2: her phone. I mean, I don't know how else would
Speaker 2: you fucking do it? Like this is like twive. It's amazing.
Speaker 2: You pick up a phone and you and you're able
Speaker 2: to complete a task right from the desk. Her bills
Speaker 2: paid to her phone, right from her desk. Mind you.
Speaker 2: I mean, she wasn't anywhere else. She was at her desk,
Speaker 2: her own She was in her hometown where the restaurants
Speaker 2: get a four point five. She didn't have to go
Speaker 2: to a big city on her phone. Scaring shit, they're
Speaker 2: so amazed. You're telling me, you're telling me from now
Speaker 2: on scary when you say something shocking, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2: You're telling me, you're telling me. Hey, did we talk
Speaker 2: about how gen Z thinks cash is cringe? Oh, it's
Speaker 2: it's chopped. It's chopped. Yeah, over thirty chopped. They said.
Speaker 2: There's an article out that over thirty percent of gen
Speaker 2: Z feels that cash is cringe and they don't want
Speaker 2: to have anything to do with it. They don't. They're there.
Speaker 2: Some of them are awkward, they're weirded out by by
Speaker 2: the side of cash. Their anxieties go up, and I
Speaker 2: don't know whether it's it's because they don't know where
Speaker 2: it's been. That's okay, So so that that was my
Speaker 2: other suspicion is that they start sweating because they don't
Speaker 2: know how to remember what I get. A few times
Speaker 2: on this podcast, we've had examples of people like miscounting
Speaker 2: the change. They can't make change of one hundred, change
Speaker 2: of a twenty, change of fifty. I think that makes
Speaker 2: them sweat because they don't they're not used to it,
Speaker 2: and they're afraid they're going to fuck it up. But
Speaker 2: there's that, But a lot of them, some of them say, oh, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know where this dollar that you know, this
Speaker 2: money has been. Has this been in a stripper's ass crack,
Speaker 2: you know where you know what, filthy, unsavory places, and
Speaker 2: now I'm handling this money. But yeah, they if you
Speaker 2: google that cash is cringe gen z. We're you know,
Speaker 2: and you know it's cringe up until you're a server
Speaker 2: or a waiter or a bartender and you get tipped
Speaker 2: in cash. Because if you get tipped in cash, you
Speaker 2: don't have to pay the processing fee on the credit card,
Speaker 2: which a lot of businesses and employers passed that fucking
Speaker 2: fee on to the employee. So if you know, and
Speaker 2: it seems to me that gen Z are the ones
Speaker 2: that are in those server roles and those bartender roles,
Speaker 2: so they should get over it real quick and start
Speaker 2: appreciating cash and and how and how can gen z
Speaker 2: work as strippers If I put a dollar bill in
Speaker 2: your g string and you're like, oh, no, cash is cringe, Okay,
Speaker 2: give me a dollar bill back. I did get a
Speaker 2: really dirty look at the strip club. No bill bill
Speaker 2: was one hundred bucks. We gave we gave were paid
Speaker 2: by credit card, but we put the twenty in cash.
Speaker 2: We gave it to her and she was like kind
Speaker 2: of weirded out by it. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: that's free, right to go. This is one of those
Speaker 2: this is one of those moments. First of all that
Speaker 2: I'm thinking like, oh my god, this is one of
Speaker 2: those cashes cringe people. She must be one of the
Speaker 2: thirty percent. But when she took the money, I'm thinking like,
Speaker 2: had we put the fucking money at the twenty dollars
Speaker 2: on the credit card, her employer would have charged her
Speaker 2: the processing fee and she would have gotten less than
Speaker 2: twenty dollars. She would have gotten like seventeen whatever, whatever,
Speaker 2: it is. I don't think they charge you for a process.
Speaker 2: They do the server, employee, employers. I just said it earlier.
Speaker 2: You'd have missed when I said, oh no, no, to
Speaker 2: go back and add a tip. I don't think this
Speaker 2: is you play with pay with the names card. There's
Speaker 2: a processing fee right the business. The businesses lose money,
Speaker 2: so what are they gonna do. They're gonna and you
Speaker 2: put twenty dollars tip on there that comes out of
Speaker 2: the server pocket. They think you're wrong. It's not tax
Speaker 2: processing fee, the processing fee for the purchase. But I
Speaker 2: don't think the tip is. Hold on, there's no tax
Speaker 2: on tips anymore. That's been abolished. It's not the tax.
Speaker 2: It's not tax, dude, hold on, it's the credit card
Speaker 2: processing fee, folks. That's what I'm looking up. I didn't
Speaker 2: say anything about the hold on, dude, I already know
Speaker 2: it is. What do you what are you trying to
Speaker 2: fact check me, you dick, because because I like facts,
Speaker 2: you are correct. Of course I'm correct. I would just
Speaker 2: spew terrible. Of course it's terrible, and employers aren't gonna
Speaker 2: take the hit. They passed that on to the employee
Speaker 2: that got the tip. So hey, assholes who hate cash.
Speaker 2: You're losing money if it goes on the credit card.
Speaker 2: Take the fucking cash and deal with it. Hey, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say this. I've said it before, and if they're
Speaker 2: a sponsor in this podcast, I apologize. But fuck credit cards.
Speaker 2: They charge you, they charge Look, first of all, I
Speaker 2: don't appreciate businesses charging me the fee for the credit card.
Speaker 2: You want to be in business and use credit cards
Speaker 2: where I can then pay you for my food more easily.
Speaker 2: That's the processing for you should pay. However, to add
Speaker 2: a tip to a server, credit card companies to absolutely
Speaker 2: not be charging three percent for what amounts to no
Speaker 2: effort on their part other than allowing you to add money.
Speaker 2: That's bullshit. Of course it's bullshit. B And then and
Speaker 2: then when that server can't afford to pay a credit
Speaker 2: card bill or his credit card bill, what do they do?
Speaker 2: They charge them nineteen to twenty nine percent Like the
Speaker 2: fucking mob. You can get your knees broken for a
Speaker 2: lower interest rate than credit card companies charge you, and
Speaker 2: then a lower extortion a lower extortion rate. Oh, what's
Speaker 2: in your wallet? I don't know, celebrity, you know it's
Speaker 2: not in my wallet. A billion fucking dollars like you have.
Speaker 2: So don't be doing credit card commercials where you can
Speaker 2: pay yours and I can and now I'm paying twenty
Speaker 2: nine percent interest and I'll never get off from one
Speaker 2: of those credit card bills. Never. So I don't care
