Speaker 1: studio that this is the gift that keeps on giving.

Speaker 1: one side of my headphone switch. The headphone chaction. Have
Speaker 1: this problem there? You go much better. See if I
Speaker 1: bang on the table, it appears in both. That's what
Speaker 1: you need to do to fix things around here. You

Speaker 1: rub it down. I'm gonna keep that joke that I
Speaker 1: was gonna use, no, no, do the joke I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, we gotta fix Dan yell that way on

Speaker 1: kind of go you know, she's a tough guy. She'll
Speaker 1: punch you. Misogyny on a front, misogyny. I love Danielle.
Speaker 1: I was just making a joke. Um, yeah, if you
Speaker 1: if you listen this is today's the sixth Today is
Speaker 1: March sixth. Right, if you listen to the March five
Speaker 1: edition of the elvistra End Morning Show, fifteen minute morning show,
Speaker 1: that was a cluster fu. Yeah, we did the podcast
Speaker 1: in here. It was hilarious. But all Scary did was
Speaker 1: complain about the equipment and the studio. And I was
Speaker 1: walked in and agreed with me. He agreed with you.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I'm in the bat cave. Like
Speaker 1: one bulb is on seven broken lights. That's three out
Speaker 1: of five. That's pretty good odds. It's terrible, and and
Speaker 1: you know, forget about that. I'm not gonna get into it.
Speaker 1: You know, I bet you about this all the time.
Speaker 1: I probably should back off. There's an engineer cursing me
Speaker 1: somewhere in the back studios if you look on the right.
Speaker 1: So we have this in these insulation squares on the wall.
Speaker 1: There's one falling left. But here's the thing. It's perfectly
Speaker 1: placed because it fell exactly into the frame of battle
Speaker 1: right below it right, so it's sitting in place on
Speaker 1: the ledge of another panel. So it's still soundproofing. It's fine,
Speaker 1: it's all good. It's not all good. The clock is right.
Speaker 1: The clock is right. Oh man, So this is two
Speaker 1: weeks in a row now that we're doing episodes on
Speaker 1: a Friday. You if we do it in the Junkie Studio,
Speaker 1: it's because we're doing it on a Friday, and so
Speaker 1: scary as you want to blame but himself because he
Speaker 1: didn't want to do the pods. Yes, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. And before people jump on me, you have
Speaker 1: just as many excuses on a Thursday to do it
Speaker 1: on a Friday as I do. So don't even go there.
Speaker 1: The last three times we moved to Friday because nope,
Speaker 1: because you're Walkers and Talkers podcast, and your producer Jamie
Speaker 1: about it was let's not let me, let me not
Speaker 1: tell that story. Last Thursday you said, nope, nope, nope,
Speaker 1: you came to me first. Don't even go there. I'll
Speaker 1: get Jamie on the phone right now and ask her
Speaker 1: if she called you to do the Walkers podcast on
Speaker 1: a Thursday and switch with the Brookland Boys Friday, I
Speaker 1: will I will call you out. Okay, here's what really happened.
Speaker 1: You said, I thinking maybe we should do it Friday,
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what Jamie wants to do
Speaker 1: Thursday that would work out, and you were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do that. But you said it first that we're
Speaker 1: being we're being a hunting honest. Cards on the table,
Speaker 1: and by the way, there's like soda other things on
Speaker 1: the table besides cars. The DJs at one hundred outside
Speaker 1: of the morning show, I love them, We're all friends
Speaker 1: of ours. But they come in here before their shift
Speaker 1: in the other studio where their main radio station is
Speaker 1: located through the other glass window, and they come in
Speaker 1: here and eat their lunch before they go on and everything.
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to do this for a while. We
Speaker 1: should get engineer jeff In here to tell us the
Speaker 1: grossest things that he's found over the years. He actually
Speaker 1: is the engineer for like six radio stations nail clippings.
Speaker 1: If he could come down here real quick, that would
Speaker 1: be great, just as a thing. Well, yeah, So the
Speaker 1: way the board works, the the the apparatus that runs
Speaker 1: all the audio and makes the levels whatever they are. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a like a slow and the slider has a
Speaker 1: groove and opening so that you can drop crumbs and
Speaker 1: things in the in the openings you can get did
Speaker 1: you fill out a trouble ticket to get Jeff on
Speaker 1: the phone. No, obviously not Yeah, oh he's just right.
Speaker 1: Please text me. We need you on the Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 1: Tell him call your phone his need to come in.
Speaker 1: He can be over the phone. Yeah, okay, so can
Speaker 1: you can you come? Oh? Come by? After he's in
Speaker 1: a meeting. What do you think they do? In those
Speaker 1: meetings they talk about how they're not going to fix
Speaker 1: this studio. I think they sit around and make jokes
Speaker 1: and they're like, let me tell you, now, you know what.
Speaker 1: Our engineers they really do work hard there. But the
Speaker 1: problem is there's not enough of them. I don't think
Speaker 1: because there's no money in the budget to fix this
Speaker 1: old studio that that's that's most of it. Like, oh
Speaker 1: you just use it if a podcast and phone taps
Speaker 1: like those are important. They keep re they keep putting
Speaker 1: more money as much as they possibly can into the
Speaker 1: equipment that we currently have. But I'll tell you I'm
Speaker 1: just not gonna all right, all right, So anyway, a
Speaker 1: sorry up in midtown. Oh he's not even here, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll call on the phone anyway. Well, maybe he's fixing
Speaker 1: the uptown studio, the fancy one that overlooks the staircase
Speaker 1: the uptown junk, the uptown johnp so the uptown Okay,
Speaker 1: we have offices in midtown Manhattan. We're lower Manhattan. So
Speaker 1: Manhattan is like, um, the shape of a penis. It's
Speaker 1: a penis, basic penis, and that would make staten Island
Speaker 1: is the testicles. Yeah it is. You look on the
Speaker 1: subway map. The penis is facing down. Brooklyn is the penis,
Speaker 1: the testicles. Brooklyn's the testicles. Is the base. No bronx
Speaker 1: is above it, you dope, No, you dope. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about a penis hanging down. No, no, not but no, no,
Speaker 1: you look at it if he is standing up, Kokland
Speaker 1: is the ball sack. Pull up the map, the subway map.
Speaker 1: You'll see it. You'll see what I'm talking about. And
Speaker 1: then stat Island whatever I see. Whatever I see Manhattan.
Speaker 1: I think of a penis facing You think of a
Speaker 1: drupie dick. Yes, all right, well I think of an
Speaker 1: erect penis, not often, by the way, don't quote me
Speaker 1: on that, um. But if you look at the map,
Speaker 1: you'll see Brooklyn is the ball sack. Okay, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the right Brooklyn is the ball sack. If you're
Speaker 1: looking in your direction, that's correct. And I don't know
Speaker 1: what Staten Island is what you left on that. I
Speaker 1: don't see that I see. I see a penis hanging down,
Speaker 1: and I and and I see a bronx as the base.
Speaker 1: Now look at look at mine. I see Staten Island
Speaker 1: as like well, sorting out of a pis. Okay, scary,
Speaker 1: let me rephrase that. I made a mistake. Now to
Speaker 1: look at the map. It is a penis hanging down. Okay,
Speaker 1: but but no, but the balls are still Brooklyn. Look
Speaker 1: at it. Yes, okay, maybe I don't and queens Queens
Speaker 1: is the area above the balls, it's the bunt venus
Speaker 1: rather the no, the area above the yeah that the taint, No,
Speaker 1: not below is the taint. Jeans is the pelvis. Brooklyn
Speaker 1: is the balls, The bus is the balls. The space
Speaker 1: between the balls and the anus is the babus the
Speaker 1: venus or yeah, all right, we're getting all this lightness down.
Speaker 1: This is we're talking. I don't know how do we
Speaker 1: get into this rabbit hole? We want this? We didn't?
Speaker 1: Should we just the rabbit holes out in the back?
Speaker 1: But should we edit this? And I have no idea
Speaker 1: where we could see most Okay, I remember I'm midtown.
Speaker 1: But this is the part but before you go there,
Speaker 1: this is the part of most podcasts where like, guys,
Speaker 1: we gotta start, just hit the stop button and don't
Speaker 1: clearly don't thing. So midtown Manhattan, we have an office
Speaker 1: as well. The Mucketymucks were and occasionally have the big
Speaker 1: meetings there where they have the same food downstairs by
Speaker 1: the bar. It's nice area. When you walk in, it's
Speaker 1: like futuristic, like this clouds like a smoke machine, gorgeous.
Speaker 1: And as you actually walk down radio hall, it's as
Speaker 1: if you are turning a knob on an old radio
Speaker 1: and the radio stations change as you walk down the hall,
Speaker 1: like you are the red the red for red beam
Speaker 1: or you know the radio they used have a red
Speaker 1: marker that show your channel you're on, Yeah, you're that thing.
Speaker 1: So as you move and changed the old school dial
Speaker 1: scan like and so there's this giant staircase that they
Speaker 1: have like a constant area. And then at the top
Speaker 1: of the staircase is a recording studio radio station. Studio.
Speaker 1: Is that the venus, No, it would be the it
Speaker 1: could be the base up at the top. So um,
Speaker 1: that's where like when big shots are in town and
Speaker 1: need to use the studio they use that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that one we've never been invited to, we haven't. I
Speaker 1: love that studio. It's red, Yes, it is red. And
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Boys should do a podcast. We could, you
Speaker 1: know what, there's two of us. It's a nice little
Speaker 1: room there. Are you good at math? You know? I
Speaker 1: would say this that, Um, maybe we could do a
Speaker 1: podcast from there and broadcast it to the entire building
Speaker 1: up there. You think they would appreciate that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right. I wanted to get that
Speaker 1: clip from from today. I wonder if um Garrett loaded it.
Speaker 1: The audio from The bad Man upset me so much.
Speaker 1: Brian Williams it's he played it today for it, but
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is. MSNBC. Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: type in MSNBC, it'll come up as Brian Williams. This
Speaker 1: is this was awful. He did this live on the
Speaker 1: air yesterday and he had he had somebody talking in
Speaker 1: studio with him. Who is who is he with studio? Okay,
Speaker 1: but anyway, she goes along with it. But listen to
Speaker 1: this he read. He read a tweet. Well, I'm what
Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm vamping here Brodie in case you didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, looking at Brodie's running the board. So what
Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm just shop buying us some time
Speaker 1: so there's no dead air and we don't have to
Speaker 1: edit this saying listen to this, Well, well I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wait till you hear this is what I should probably
Speaker 1: have said, wait till you hear the clip Brody is
Speaker 1: feverishly looking for in the computer with Brian Williams doing
Speaker 1: bad math. And for some of you who complained on Twitter,
Speaker 1: this maybe a little too loud for you, so lower
Speaker 1: your earbuds because we got a complaint that all the
Speaker 1: audio we play, including the male jingle and everything is
Speaker 1: way too loud. All right, So this was this was
Speaker 1: a tweet that was going around over about a day
Speaker 1: and a half. Somebody, I don't care who it is,
Speaker 1: don't tweet me. Somebody named Mikita Rivus m e K
Speaker 1: I t A. I don't care. She is right. I
Speaker 1: looked it up. I didn't care. After I saw who
Speaker 1: she was, I don't care. So she was talking about
Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg mayor Mike New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, who
Speaker 1: was running for president. He spent five hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: on ads, and they so they wrote, Bloomberg spent five
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars on ads. The US population is seven million.
Speaker 1: He could have given each American one million and still
Speaker 1: have money left over. I feel like a one million
Speaker 1: dollar check would be life changing for most people. Yet
Speaker 1: he wasted it on all ads and still lost. Now
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Five hundred million dollars for three seven
Speaker 1: million people is a dollar fifty three a person. A
Speaker 1: million dollars would be three seven trillion, I believe, which
Speaker 1: is not how much money may Bloomberg has nors and
Speaker 1: how much she spent. So this was a woman who does.
Speaker 1: In her profile it now says I'm a woman who's
Speaker 1: not good at math. She probably changed it to that
Speaker 1: when she realized how stupid her tweet was that that
Speaker 1: is the most ridiculous tweet I think I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: But it went viral and a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: aren't good at the math, and somehow it wound up
Speaker 1: on MSN because people were tweeting it, and we're very upset.
Speaker 1: So here's what I wanted to listen to. So I
Speaker 1: was watching this Live last night at eleven and eleven fifteen,
Speaker 1: whatever time it was. I immediately filmed it with my
Speaker 1: phone and posted it on Facebook and my social media.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the video up on Twitter because it
Speaker 1: was a large file, but I put the screenshot. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's play what they read the tweet. But I
Speaker 1: want you to listen to this clip. And in the
Speaker 1: middle it sounds like Brian Williams is telling you you're
Speaker 1: about to catch the mistake like I did, but he doesn't. Here.
Speaker 1: This is the guy who was us population million, don't
Speaker 1: tell us if you're ahead of us on the math.
Speaker 1: He could have given each American one million dollars and
Speaker 1: I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way
Speaker 1: of putting it. It's an incredible way of putting it.
Speaker 1: It's true. It's disturbing. Okay, it's not an incredible way.
Speaker 1: It's not true. What he should have said right there
Speaker 1: is could you believe this person in this tweets? Now
Speaker 1: when he says you're probably doing the math ahead of me,
Speaker 1: like you're probably jumping ahead. I thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: go because it's wrong, but no, he agreed with it,
Speaker 1: and she and and the talking head that was with
Speaker 1: him agreed with it as well. Now I think her
Speaker 1: name is Marta Gay. She's works for the New York Times.
Speaker 1: Both bright people, both both both people process it. So
Speaker 1: then unless not she maybe in her head realized it
Speaker 1: and like, I don't want to upstage Brian right now
Speaker 1: and tell him he's wrong on TV. No, No, clearly
Speaker 1: they they were in on it. Now, Look, I understand
Speaker 1: when you were talking head on television even though you're bright,
Speaker 1: they're both very bright people that maybe he's starting to
Speaker 1: teleprompter and his producer said, hey, this tweet went out,
Speaker 1: we got to talk about this, think about it, and
Speaker 1: you know, when you're on live television, maybe you don't
Speaker 1: have time to think about it, okay, And she heard
Speaker 1: what he said was like, yeah, it sounds like oh
Speaker 1: my god, everyone you know. But it wasn't three seven
Speaker 1: billion times a million, so it was wrong. So two
Speaker 1: minutes later I don't have the audio, but he came
Speaker 1: back and he said, I just want to clarify, Uh,
Speaker 1: that amounts to about a dollar fifty a person. I'm
Speaker 1: not good at math, and truthfully I wasn't really focused.
Speaker 1: He apologized. He got caught well, because everybody tweeted at
Speaker 1: him and at both of them, like why did you
Speaker 1: get the mat? Now, this is the same guy who
Speaker 1: got fired from NBC because he said that he was
Speaker 1: in the Gulf War and he made he said I
Speaker 1: was there. He said that, no, he was there. What
Speaker 1: he said was that the plane he was in was
Speaker 1: shot at, but it was the plane in front of
Speaker 1: him that was shot at. Hell, he was embellishing, he
Speaker 1: embellished right or whatever it was. But hasn't do math.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I didn't want to around. No, instand,
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, confuse anyway, he wasn't
Speaker 1: lying about the tweets. Just terrible at math, terrible, embarrassingly
Speaker 1: bad atman. I got a lot of gripes today. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have some I got company problems I have it
Speaker 1: is it me or is it? I'm putting it out there?
Speaker 1: Hold on, it's gonna I wanted to put it out there.
Speaker 1: I have I have an easy pass rant that is
Speaker 1: coming today. It is it was gonna punch somebody when
Speaker 1: I was on the phone with this propect. Let's do it. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't have to work my up to it. It's
Speaker 1: bad Okay, so you're talking about your parents, whoa you know,
Speaker 1: we always say we we should always cherish the time
Speaker 1: without parents, right, and we should, you know, and as
Speaker 1: you get older you want to spend as much time
Speaker 1: as possible with them. So last Sunday morning, my mother

Speaker 1: why they're not coming. If you had given them grandchildren,
Speaker 1: they would come to see the I'm not joking, that's
Speaker 1: what's that. They're like, it's Anthony, Yeah, you had you

Speaker 1: live another half hour closer than he is, maybe four minutes. Yeah,

Speaker 1: on my instruction. Do you know this about my mother? Okay? Yes, Anthony, Hi,
Speaker 1: he would Roady Boys podcast. I moms, Cary, I good moms. Here.
Speaker 1: We have two questions for you. Were sorry to bother
Speaker 1: you and I wait to get you now sorry, I
Speaker 1: have a quick question for you, and then uh, Anthony
Speaker 1: has a longer question. Here's my question for you, and
Speaker 1: I want to know how you would react because you
Speaker 1: raised this man, and I want to I'm sure you
Speaker 1: will be outraged. Last week on our podcast, was it
Speaker 1: last week of the week before? I was telling him
Speaker 1: that my mom has lost a lot of weight and
Speaker 1: she can't find she can't wear the jeans that she
Speaker 1: bought prior to losing the weight. So it was a
Speaker 1: whole big story. I'm sure you're listening in order. When
Speaker 1: you get up to one seventeen, you'll hear it about
Speaker 1: how I had to return her clothes to levies because
Speaker 1: they no longer fit hard even though it was past
Speaker 1: the return date. So your son says to me, oh,
Speaker 1: she lost a lot of weight. What sized pants did
Speaker 1: you wear? Now that wasn't a nice question, right, How
Speaker 1: would you feel if I asked him in what size
Speaker 1: um clothing you wear? I wouldn't answer you, right. You
Speaker 1: know why I wouldn't ask that because my mom raised me. Right,
Speaker 1: So I want to know did you raise him to
Speaker 1: talk like that about other people's mothers? I you know what?
Speaker 1: At this point I don't know what to tell you
Speaker 1: because you've been out of my hands for a long
Speaker 1: time and it's the influence of another woman. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not really, I'm not blaming anything on his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: I'm to stay that's not him. But the bottom by
Speaker 1: that was an inappropriate question. Correct, it was. Now listen
Speaker 1: Anthony as a question for you, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let him ask you privately. I'm gonna go to the
Speaker 1: bathroom right back. I go ahead. I just good bye. Um.

Speaker 1: all right, right back. Hey, this is Chris as Stephano
Speaker 1: and this is the Brooklyn Boys Podcast with Scary and Brody.
Speaker 1: Now can I talk about Instagram for a minute? You
Speaker 1: you can talk for an hour about Instagram because I
Speaker 1: have the same gripes as you. Okay, so you know
Speaker 1: I do. I try my best to respond to every tweet,
Speaker 1: every post on Instagram, every d M. A couple of
Speaker 1: things have happened since I've announced that it's become Mayhem
Speaker 1: with the d ms. It's like seven d ms over.
Speaker 1: I can't keep up. Some of you guys are doing
Speaker 1: the over d m NG and you're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: know you don't want to get too many d m s.
Speaker 1: But and I'm and I'm trying my best to keep up.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come to a point where I can't keep
Speaker 1: up because you guys are d m ng stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: like m It's sometimes it's stuff like you don't need
Speaker 1: to DM me, you can just post. It's too much
Speaker 1: sometimes yeah, you know, I've I've noticed it's like whack
Speaker 1: them all. Um. You know, d m s come in.
Speaker 1: You see that blue dot, you open them up. They
Speaker 1: know you've seen them because it says seen. So you respond,
Speaker 1: and you go back, and you go back and you
Speaker 1: write all of them back. And now guess what those
Speaker 1: people now write you back and then an additional team come.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I love that we have fans
Speaker 1: and people want to I'm just saying people want to
Speaker 1: talk to us and I And by the way, if
Speaker 1: you know Scary Jones on Instagram, you know I answer
Speaker 1: pretty much everything that comes and try my best. And
Speaker 1: that's not my issue. My issue is, again, I love
Speaker 1: the interaction and I try to get to everybody. My
Speaker 1: problem is lately people are sending me stuff for other
Speaker 1: people on the show, saying, oh, show this to some
Speaker 1: and using you as a conduit. So I've gotten that before.
Speaker 1: Two times this week alone, somebody sent me a video
Speaker 1: of someone eating mayonnaise at a sporting event and another
Speaker 1: there was two videos Danielle. Now, I so I right back,
Speaker 1: I go you You sent it to Danielle and they
Speaker 1: wrote back, well, she doesn't respond and see them I
Speaker 1: know you do, right. Well, that's the thing. You and
Speaker 1: I are both known now for opening responding. Now, I
Speaker 1: can't speak for Danielle. Danielle listen. Danielle as a co
Speaker 1: host on the Elvis rd Morning Show. She has a
Speaker 1: lot more followers than I do, and so she's overwhelmed
Speaker 1: with how many d m s and what I get
Speaker 1: that and I and I love that you guys know
Speaker 1: that she hates mayonnaise and I we love as members
Speaker 1: of the show that you get it. You get in
Speaker 1: on the jokes, right and I laugh at them. But
Speaker 1: you're asking me now, I know it sounds easy, because
Speaker 1: like you think, we're all like in a little room
Speaker 1: and we're like, look at my phone, look at your phone,
Speaker 1: look at my phone. Sometimes I see those into d
Speaker 1: ms at night, and now I feel guilty. I have
Speaker 1: to remember to the next day show. Them a Danielle
Speaker 1: or I have to forward it to her, and we
Speaker 1: already know she's not gonna see it because she's overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by d MS. So I can't forward it to her
Speaker 1: because you guys would have fowarded it to her. So
Speaker 1: it's a burden now that I have to live with.
Speaker 1: It's your cross to bear, Brody that you didn't show
Speaker 1: Danielle the mayonnaise video. You're putting it out at night.
Speaker 1: You opened it up. So here's what I would say,
Speaker 1: and you tell me if I'm wrong. Here scary if
Speaker 1: you think Danielle would love the video, but you don't
Speaker 1: think I'll love the video, like it means nothing to
Speaker 1: me per se. You don't have sent to me because
Speaker 1: I'll go, oh, it's a mayonnaise video. I'm not crossed
Speaker 1: up by mayonnaise. But now I have to live with that,
Speaker 1: and I have to go, hey, Danielle, you have a
Speaker 1: chance something. I am busy. We're doing a show. After
Speaker 1: the show, we're doing phone taps, were booking guests, We're
Speaker 1: doing different things. We are, but I want you to
Speaker 1: know I feel a huge amount of guilt and pressure
Speaker 1: all night at home, and you know, so by the way.
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be funny if you're the first one,
Speaker 1: but you're not going to be the first one because
Speaker 1: you're all gonna hit this podcast and go, hey, send
Speaker 1: this Elvis and this. We get the joke, right, I
Speaker 1: got it right. If something is a viral video, there's
Speaker 1: a good chance by the time it reaches us, we've
Speaker 1: seen it. Right. But if you saw something like a
Speaker 1: spelling error, like a funny thing, and you want to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's fine. What I'm saying is what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is now that you know that, it's an overwhelming burden
Speaker 1: for me. And I'm by the way, I'm exaggerating a
Speaker 1: little bit, but it is a burden. Don't go home
Speaker 1: when you hear this. So when you can go, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna phote him a video for Coast of Boy Josh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna phote a video and go, ha, I bet
Speaker 1: him the first one. You know what, you're not the
Speaker 1: first one. I got. I already made the joke, already
Speaker 1: busted a joke. I got my seven hundred scary You
Speaker 1: look like Randall Emmett La LA's boyfriend Fever And they
Speaker 1: send me a picture and by the way, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: grateful that you even thought of me. I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's that's cool. But it's it's funny because
Speaker 1: I bet you didn't know. Hey, did you know that
Speaker 1: diamond from the sounds? Yes, Yes, we've also played a
Speaker 1: Diamond or melacunas game. We play clips of both of them.
Speaker 1: Have done that bit. Yes, maybe i'll play a clip
Speaker 1: here for while we're doing that. So my point is,
Speaker 1: let me if I can find diamond or me. And
Speaker 1: while we're on the topic of Instagram, I have to
Speaker 1: have about something that happened so scary, you're you're you
Speaker 1: you know diamond, Yes, right here, right here, let's play
Speaker 1: is this we're playing hold on high Diamond. We're playing
Speaker 1: We're about to play around the diamond diamond. So everybody says,
Speaker 1: you're telling me Lacoon is but Meg from the family,
Speaker 1: you've been on the show now for a year. Yes,
Speaker 1: And so this is I'm not strong, but I know
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to destroy a man emotionally. And
Speaker 1: this is another person saying the same thing. I'm not strong,
Speaker 1: but I know a lot of ways to destroy a
Speaker 1: man emotionally. It's very similar. Yeah, there's different reverb effect
Speaker 1: on it because it was on TV. But yeah, we
Speaker 1: were just saying, how you you don't hear it? No,
Speaker 1: not at all. I think the very last one. I
Speaker 1: think it's the shortest one thousand dollars, right, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to get that kind of money. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not one. Actually Meg is short for something else.
Speaker 1: Actually meg is short for something else. Sounds exactly right.
Speaker 1: But by the way, she she sounded different when she
Speaker 1: was on that seventies show than she does as Meg.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she's gorgeous. Oh my god, she's gorgeous.
Speaker 1: That sounds exactly How do you not hear that? I'll
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why you don't hear it? Number One,
Speaker 1: you're used to your own voice. You understand that it's
Speaker 1: like nuances that are different. Number Two, you hear through
Speaker 1: your head, not through your ears, right, so through your
Speaker 1: head your voice sounds different. Why don't some to the podcast?
Speaker 1: I know what my voice sounds like, because I've heard
Speaker 1: my voice obviously in this business plenty times. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like what my voice sounds like in my head.
Speaker 1: In my head, I sound sexy, unlike I sound a
Speaker 1: lot better, you know, in my head than I have
Speaker 1: to on this podcast. Yeah, no, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think that sounds like her at all. Right, did you
Speaker 1: even know who Mela Cutis was before you started working here? Kidding?
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, can we discuss I don't want to
Speaker 1: take over your no, no, go right ahead. One of
Speaker 1: our interns didn't know who Aliyah was? Okay, well, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you. In all fairness, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people listening to this podcast don't know who Leah was.
Speaker 1: You have reference no Aaliyah? No I said Aliyah. I
Speaker 1: think that a lot of people listening to this podcast
Speaker 1: if you told them she was the one who had
Speaker 1: some music in the nineties, who went who put too
Speaker 1: many people in a plane and when it tried to
Speaker 1: fly crashed to the ground and killing everybody. They remember
Speaker 1: an R and B singer that that happened to, but
Speaker 1: they may not remember that that was a lot of
Speaker 1: the way. If Scary said Leah twenty seconds ago, when
Speaker 1: you back up, tweet us and let us know what
Speaker 1: I said, Ah, I'm I'm lazy tongue today. I have
Speaker 1: lazy tongue better. What's her big hit? Are you that
Speaker 1: somebody she's had five of the baby sound effects in
Speaker 1: the Yeah, well I'm going I'm gonna turn the volume
Speaker 1: off until we get to the plot with the baby crying.
Speaker 1: Played the whole song on the or I'll just do
Speaker 1: the baby crying. He didn't know that pink was a
Speaker 1: big deal in two thousand. Yeah, that every thing's been
Speaker 1: around a while. Hother's me, It bothers me. She's still
Speaker 1: not singing. Here's she comes? Yeah, no, it's still not
Speaker 1: come here. I got hold on, No still not what
Speaker 1: version is this? Is this the like extendo twelve inch
Speaker 1: DJ Remick It's probably probably the four minute I gotta
Speaker 1: turn it down. I'll come back to it. The baby
Speaker 1: crying is there? You think? So sometimes I'm goody goody
Speaker 1: sometimes No, No, it's still always toward the end. Thanks
Speaker 1: for your help. Oh yeah, I gotta go. Here comes here.
Speaker 1: I was a has a yoused. We waited uh five
Speaker 1: seconds for that anyway. But yes, the truth is that
Speaker 1: unfortunately people born in the year nine eight whatever, whoever
Speaker 1: he's born, but we got yes, he doesn't. He doesn't
Speaker 1: know music from when he was three or four years old,
Speaker 1: and just made me feel Yeah, diamonds in her twenties.
Speaker 1: She's like these kids today, Hey, Diamond, do people d
Speaker 1: M you and tell you to show them, like show
Speaker 1: this DM to somebody like, oh, oh show so and
Speaker 1: so I was just saying how I constantly get d
Speaker 1: ms like oh, show this to Danielle. It's a Mayo video,
Speaker 1: like you, I don't get that. But my page is private,
Speaker 1: so a lot of people don't even go to follow.
Speaker 1: Why are you private? You're a public figure? Okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: I got too excited that, right, No, it's just because
Speaker 1: I don't know. People leave like really bad comments. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that you decided to
Speaker 1: be here, you know what I mean? So you have
Speaker 1: to people off to request to be there. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, all right. So what I was getting at
Speaker 1: with this whole reminded me of an old comedy bit
Speaker 1: from a legend one of the greatest stand up comics
Speaker 1: of all time, George Carlin, and he it says, this
Speaker 1: is old school the way people talk to this is
Speaker 1: probably from late seventies, and uh, this is a classic bit,
Speaker 1: and it reminds me of the d M thing with like, oh,
Speaker 1: show this to Danielle. Here's him talking about the when
Speaker 1: you're here, Here we go. Now, here's a situation you
Speaker 1: run into all the time. You notice how when you're
Speaker 1: leaving someone a lot of times they'll give you a
Speaker 1: message to give to someone else, Like they say, give
Speaker 1: my love to Klaus. Tell Klaus Rebecca sends her love.
Speaker 1: Do you mind that? Do you mind being used that way?
Speaker 1: Do you mind the awesome responsibility of having to carry
Speaker 1: Rebecca's love to Klaus? So you don't see clouds? What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with Rebecca's love? Carry it around?
Speaker 1: Give it to someone else? Maybe Wilhelm, I can't find Klaus.
Speaker 1: Here's some of Rebecca's love. Suppose Wilhelm doesn't know Rebecca.
Speaker 1: Can he legally accept her love, especially when it was
Speaker 1: originally intended for Clouds. Suppose you give Wilhelm Rebecca's love
Speaker 1: for Klaus, and then you see Klaus. What are you
Speaker 1: gonna give him? Oh? You had was Rebecca's love, and
Speaker 1: you've already gone and given that to Wilhelm. Can you
Speaker 1: logically ask Wilhelm to give back Rebecca's love to Claus.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's gotten used to it by now. Suppose Rebecca
Speaker 1: gives you her love to give to Klaus, and you
Speaker 1: do see Klaus, what form should the love take? Can
Speaker 1: you risk giving Klaus a tongue kiss? So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel like, Oh, give her my love.
Speaker 1: Then you have that obligation. So so something that's that
Speaker 1: happened in the seventies is still relevant today. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: you're giving people a responsibility to deliver your message. That
Speaker 1: is fantastic the way it all it comes full circle.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what there was no such thing of
Speaker 1: in the in the nineties seventies, but is happening today
Speaker 1: on Instagram, which is what happened to me last Friday
Speaker 1: when I left here. Do tell We went to Whole
Speaker 1: Foods and I'm sitting in not a client. Don't play
Speaker 1: the no, no, no, I'm looking. I have a whole
Speaker 1: food story looking for them. No, I have a whole
Speaker 1: food story that I'll take your whole food story. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm there. I'm there for about an
Speaker 1: hour and a half, all right, and I'm just being
Speaker 1: scary like to do, looking around, not looking around me,
Speaker 1: but just looking at the food and looking. Then I
Speaker 1: go home and I see on Instagram on my story
Speaker 1: with me copied Scary Jones looking into the ice cream freezer,
Speaker 1: and he keep fucking some some creeper Slice from Life.
Speaker 1: That's why I know he's hearing this right now. He
Speaker 1: s post on his instant story and mine for all
Speaker 1: his followers, and he copies me on it that he
Speaker 1: secretly video taped to me. Well, by the way, my
Speaker 1: head was not in the ice cream freezer. It was
Speaker 1: in the shrimp freezer. I was looking at the frozen
Speaker 1: cod okay, I was looking for fish, but he called
Speaker 1: it ice cream to just to beat me, you know,
Speaker 1: make a joke. But I said to the guy on Instagram,
Speaker 1: I d m him back. I'm like, yo, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: why didn't you say hi? Because I'm a very shy person.
Speaker 1: I'm a Slice for life. And I'm like, well, you
Speaker 1: weren't shy and fucking creeping a video behind my back
Speaker 1: like that. That's crazy to me. And by the way,
Speaker 1: that's not the first time someone has done that. Were
Speaker 1: they They literally like they saw me somewhere, they videotaped me,
Speaker 1: and then they fucking posted it online. Craziness. Yeah. You,
Speaker 1: By the way, we have to stop saying videotape whatever
Speaker 1: it is he taped me, You know what, I'm saying
Speaker 1: we have recorded me. Yeah, I asked him, don't you
Speaker 1: want to do wouldn't you rather? Wouldn't you rather take
Speaker 1: that time to say hello, shake my hand, have a conversation,
Speaker 1: and take a picture with me. Yes. But he's shy,
Speaker 1: I know, but I said to him, shy people don't
Speaker 1: whip out their phone their phones and start recording people.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like if I was shy,
Speaker 1: I would I wouldn't do any of the above. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say their name because maybe I don't want
Speaker 1: to be known. But no, no, no, say his name
Speaker 1: because he's a fan. No, no, he listens to the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the video now. Actually a good guy.
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. But he sent me the video
Speaker 1: first and he said, I just want to confirm is
Speaker 1: this scary? And I said I said yes. Didn't you
Speaker 1: ask him? And he said no, I'm too shy And
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, it's nice reference. I said, you can't
Speaker 1: be shy in life, man, you gotta just go up.
Speaker 1: I said, you're a fan of he said? He said coincidentally,
Speaker 1: he was listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast on Instagram.
Speaker 1: I was listening in my earbuds and are you weren't
Speaker 1: front of me at Whole Foods? Well, isn't that full circle?
Speaker 1: Don't you want to have like a live conversation with me? Right?
Speaker 1: I said that I go because it said hello. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say my head was in the
Speaker 1: ash cream freezer. I was clearly looking for cod anyway
Speaker 1: looking I don't have it. But the thing is, I
Speaker 1: guess celebrities were not celebrities, but celebrities get that all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, I guess it's got to be a
Speaker 1: cringe e thing, right, someone following you around and filming you,
Speaker 1: filming you like without knowing. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're on stage and you're doing a show, that's
Speaker 1: one thing. Dude. I'm not even famous. I told you
Speaker 1: I got people. When I get my hair cut in
Speaker 1: that new place. I saw them in the mirror taking
Speaker 1: my picture, and then they called me like an hour later,
Speaker 1: like to verify my phone number. All right, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you make of that? I don't
Speaker 1: know what you make of it. I was like taking aback.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm flattered. Um, But next time say hello,
Speaker 1: come up, say hi, let's take a picture. That's something
Speaker 1: you should have had this ready. You should have gone
Speaker 1: through your m and got ready. Can I tell my
Speaker 1: my Whole Foods so that not a sponsor. There's a
Speaker 1: company called Fresh Pet. It's the only dog food my
Speaker 1: dogs eat. And I had posted a picture um on
Speaker 1: my Instagram. People like, oh has done an ad? It
Speaker 1: says in the post, not an ad, but they had
Speaker 1: dropped off some free products here and I took it out.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's okay for us to do ads
Speaker 1: in our social media. We all do it. We're all competent,
Speaker 1: but it's only products that we use. Anyway, I posted
Speaker 1: the Fresh Pet because I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is new line. Figure. If you had a dog,
Speaker 1: you should know they have a new line of like
Speaker 1: hamburgers and chicken burgers. You were doing a public service.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, sharing them because my dogs really like
Speaker 1: the product. Okay, so you're free dog food? No, not
Speaker 1: at all. If they want to send it, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but that's not That's not why I put it up. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my dogs I got home, so I took the picture.
Speaker 1: I posted it after my dogs and eating it. They
Speaker 1: loved it, but after a while we ate they ate
Speaker 1: it all so as we were running down. We had
Speaker 1: like two burgers left. They look like burgers and hamburgers.
Speaker 1: They're ridiculously like they're really good and then like when
Speaker 1: you cut them up, they don't feel slimy. It's not
Speaker 1: a commercial and not a sponsor anyway. Uh, so I
Speaker 1: was running low. So I I went on the website
Speaker 1: and I and it says on the website only available
Speaker 1: whole foods now the normal fresh pet stuff for the
Speaker 1: common dog. These are like to go a may line,
Speaker 1: it's a upscale. It's in the refrigerated section. To it is, well,
Speaker 1: the regular stops refrigerated. It's it's a refrigerated product. It's
Speaker 1: chicken and cranberries. That's right. There's a refrigerator case in Target.
Speaker 1: And uh, no preservative in my and I I shop
Speaker 1: at at a historical shop, right, that's our local big
Speaker 1: chain of grocery stores. So I tweet them and I say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: your website says only Whole Foods carries the upscat whole
Speaker 1: food it's free range dog food. Anyway, So I said,
Speaker 1: can you is there any place in my area? They're like,
Speaker 1: can you d m us? I DM them and I
Speaker 1: said where do you live? And I said, this is there,
Speaker 1: and they said, no, the only place you can get
Speaker 1: it as Whole Foods. So I went to Whole Foods
Speaker 1: and I paid a lot of money for the packages
Speaker 1: of burgers, nothing but the bets for mutzi mussy mussie sticks.
Speaker 1: You know she name muzzarella and drew anyway, so my
Speaker 1: so I went. I went to Whole Foods I had.
Speaker 1: I didn't bring my own bags. I paid ten cents
Speaker 1: for the bag. No I saw anytime, so I always
Speaker 1: forget my bag I bring. I bring the food home
Speaker 1: that Whole Foods I don't. We don't do like the
Speaker 1: full shopping and Whole Foods. Whole Foods is like I
Speaker 1: need some of that sauce. They only sell their. I
Speaker 1: need the thing they only sell their. But you can't
Speaker 1: really go shopping that. They don't sell soda. I need soda.
Speaker 1: I can't go there. I need soda. It was high fruit.
Speaker 1: Those corn syrup they're not gonna not not the diet coke, diopepsi.
Speaker 1: I drink some high those corncert no corner. That's worse
Speaker 1: that fucking asport tame and fucking I know. And they're
Speaker 1: running low because of the coronaviruschemicals, chemical sugars in there. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I listen, chemical sweeteners, okay, all right, So that's why
Speaker 1: they don't sell free range soda there. Okay. So I
Speaker 1: so I pay the Whole Foods price. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do it? Only sell a whole
Speaker 1: food Okay. So I go to my supermarket the next
Speaker 1: day and they have it there right, fresh bed right.
Speaker 1: So Friday I went to Whole Foods picked it up.
Speaker 1: Saturday I went shopping a shop right to pick up
Speaker 1: a couple of things we had to have. Then Sunday
Speaker 1: my wife went shopping for the full family, shopping all
Speaker 1: the stuff we needed. She went to a different growth.
Speaker 1: She went to Wegman's. Now, Wegman's is an upscale grocery store,
Speaker 1: but it's it's massive. So like you know that supermarket
Speaker 1: that you live near your shop at as nine sauce choices,
Speaker 1: they have twenty seven sauce choices, they have a bakery,
Speaker 1: a pizza, they have a car wash, they have a
Speaker 1: pool hall. I mean, it's just a massive It's like
Speaker 1: the costco of supermarkets, white stand offense people. The point
Speaker 1: is I am so you know me I I can't
Speaker 1: make decisions. I'm so indecisive with everything I do. I
Speaker 1: need a store. Narrow it down, give me the three
Speaker 1: best lines and stuff I like choices, So I get
Speaker 1: the text Mesdy seven and choices of sauce. So when
Speaker 1: I'm at shop, right, I see that the burgers are there.
Speaker 1: They're in the refrigerator case with the normal stuff. They
Speaker 1: now carry the burgers. My god, they taught me only
Speaker 1: whole Foods, and it's like it's a few dollars less.
Speaker 1: And I bought a few packages of food and all
Speaker 1: foods because I don't want to. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: have to go back every week, so I brought a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks worth their vacuum bus. Well, Whole Foods
Speaker 1: will charge what they think they can get, right, not
Speaker 1: necessarily the best. Right. And then so my wife texted
Speaker 1: me and says, hey, they're they're cheaper here at the Wegmans. Also,
Speaker 1: what the what the so? I? So I tweeted Fresh Pet.
Speaker 1: I say, at Fresh Pet, Uh, you guys told me
Speaker 1: it was only Wegman's and now it's at every place
Speaker 1: I'm going to. I went to the movie theater next
Speaker 1: to the popcorn with the dog Burgers. So they tweeted
Speaker 1: me back, We're terribly sorry. The website needs to be updated.
Speaker 1: We checked the website for your answer, even though I
Speaker 1: told him I'd already checked the website. They wanted you
Speaker 1: to go to Whole Foods and pay a premium price
Speaker 1: for it. Well, no, they didn't know. Whatever the they didn't.
Speaker 1: They don't make the same they get the same property
Speaker 1: the wise anyway. So I said, oh, well, that's great
Speaker 1: that I can now buy it in my store. But
Speaker 1: between you and me at Fresh Pet, I overpaid four
Speaker 1: dollars a box, like I was a lot whatever was.
Speaker 1: So they go, oh that, please d m us with
Speaker 1: your address. They said, expect h make good in the mail.
Speaker 1: So I got a free dessert from Fresh Pet. We
Speaker 1: call price match because their mistake. Again, people I've talked
Speaker 1: to even as not even I appreciate the apology, but
Speaker 1: I overpaid it. I got to be honest, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have even thought to complain about that. I would have
Speaker 1: just been written it off as I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: fuck it. I didn't know any better. No, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why, because how would I have known better. There's
Speaker 1: a new product. They were promoting the website says only
Speaker 1: Whole Foods When I put in my zip code, right
Speaker 1: lead you to the place that charges you four. So
Speaker 1: not only did I overpay, but I also went to
Speaker 1: the store when I wasn't going to the store. I
Speaker 1: wasn't going to the store on Friday, but I had
Speaker 1: to get dog food, right. I could have waited until
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday when when we went shopping at the
Speaker 1: regular grocery store. So I made a special trip. So
Speaker 1: I got a free dessert. Huh. So my point is
Speaker 1: you can point out when somebody messes up, even it
Speaker 1: was unintentional, but they cost me money and time. I
Speaker 1: pointed out very nicely, that was it. Now I got
Speaker 1: free desserted Fridays, yesterday Wednesdays. I got free dessert on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so I had I spent the day with my mom,
Speaker 1: Mama Brody, and she says, you know what, I'd like
Speaker 1: to get a burger at at Friday's, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to sit sit around. Let's go home and watch
Speaker 1: some TV and we'll go back to my her house. Whatever,
Speaker 1: let's do take out. I'm glad your mother decided to
Speaker 1: spend some time with you. My mother never says, no,
Speaker 1: what what's that you called? She got my I sometimes
Speaker 1: called I go, Mom. I'm like, I'm on the turnpike,
Speaker 1: I'm fifteen and it's away. Oh come over. That's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nice to have a conversation with my mom. I
Speaker 1: gave a three grandkids. She likes that anyway, so I
Speaker 1: don't have to bring her. I just have to bring
Speaker 1: her stories of the grandkids. I don't have to bring them.
Speaker 1: I tell her show pictures of the kids and the dogs.
Speaker 1: She's thrilled anyway. So I called, they go, It will
Speaker 1: be about fifteen minutes. So I got great, all right.
Speaker 1: So we get there like eight minutes. We sit in
Speaker 1: the car for a few minutes. I go in. I
Speaker 1: sit at the bar because the bartender is gonna bring
Speaker 1: me the food. Very friendly bartender, and she says, oh,
Speaker 1: what is your order? I give it two? Okay, Grana.
Speaker 1: So at the fifteen minute mark, I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: checking my phone. My mom's out in the car. I
Speaker 1: don't say anything. She says to me, Hey, um, you
Speaker 1: should food should be out in a minute. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, they said fifteen minutes. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. It's fine, you know, no problem to three minutes,
Speaker 1: four minutes goes by, five minutes go by, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen minutes, twenty minutes somewhere and there somewhere
Speaker 1: in there. And I'm not really I'm not getting upset.
Speaker 1: I'm just sort of like sitting there at the bar.
Speaker 1: It's lunchtime, so it's it's like two and afternoon, so
Speaker 1: it's not crowded, right, so I'm just kind of and
Speaker 1: it like I saw a thumb sitting there. So she says, uh,
Speaker 1: it's taken longer than it should. I like that. I
Speaker 1: guess do you guys do the head nod to each other,
Speaker 1: like it's time for free dessert. It's time. It's time
Speaker 1: to get the general general manager involved, you know, she said.
Speaker 1: I said, um, now, because I feel like that is
Speaker 1: it's kind of like an understood moment, like, all right,
Speaker 1: we've passed the time of waiting. Well, that's just it's
Speaker 1: it's it's now, it is we've now entered the free
Speaker 1: dessert zone. Well right, and then the music for the
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone starts play. So she knew, and I knew,
Speaker 1: but I didn't say anything. I just gave her a
Speaker 1: look like, you know, you're not busy. She couldn't say
Speaker 1: to me, the kitchen swamped and there's nobody in this
Speaker 1: stay and then and then the onslaught, and then she
Speaker 1: slid this to me and went, here you go. What
Speaker 1: does that say there on that card right there? It
Speaker 1: says come have an appetizer or dessert on us? Free dessert. Free.
Speaker 1: Didn't even ask for though. I think free appetizer is better. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: My point is free dessert in regards to him. By
Speaker 1: the way, that's absolutely with an app Absolutely take if
Speaker 1: you have a choice between free appetizer or a free dessert,
Speaker 1: take the free app especially because by the time dessert
Speaker 1: comes around, you may be fall and then you can't
Speaker 1: use the exactly plus. But the appetizer is worth more
Speaker 1: usually right, And I know you can retro and use
Speaker 1: it for the appetizer, but you know you want to
Speaker 1: order that extra appetizer when you know when you're ordering
Speaker 1: appetizer for free, you don't go, well, I was gonna
Speaker 1: have the Mozrella sticks, I'll just use it on that. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: Now I want the case of dia and yeah, I
Speaker 1: want the bonus. I want to feel the bonus, right,
Speaker 1: if you just take it off the check, you don't
Speaker 1: really feel it. You're like, Okay, I signed my credit card.
Speaker 1: You ever felt the bonus, Brodie? No, but you know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. If I if I get the
Speaker 1: Mozarrella sticks and confused time when you were growing up
Speaker 1: in college, you felt the bonus. I was never confused
Speaker 1: in college. Never. Look, I know, I'm sure there are
Speaker 1: men that experiment in college. That's what you do, and
Speaker 1: it's a it's called a play on words. Yeah, and look,
Speaker 1: there's always that stereotype that women tend to experiment more
Speaker 1: in college. That's fine. I'm just saying I'm not one
Speaker 1: of those people at the time that ever had any intention.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I graduated high school sixteen, okay,
Speaker 1: and I was which is two years too early in
Speaker 1: your opinion, when I got to college, even when I
Speaker 1: was in high school, because I was two years ahead,
Speaker 1: and my kids in my class eight to believe that
Speaker 1: you skipped too great, No, I skipped one and I
Speaker 1: started first grade early, a year early. They were like,
Speaker 1: you gotta get a kid in school. He's a genius. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my point was I wasn't getting male or female in
Speaker 1: high school or college when I first got into college.
Speaker 1: So if I had wanted to experiment, it would have
Speaker 1: been twice as many people saying not interested. So there
Speaker 1: was no need for me to experiment. The women want
Speaker 1: to know part of me, and the men's sure as
Speaker 1: hell didn't want any part of me, because if they're
Speaker 1: going to experiment, it wasn't gonna be with me. You
Speaker 1: were in college at sixteen years old? Yeah, anyway, my
Speaker 1: daughter graduating, My daughters graduating at nineteen next next, a
Speaker 1: couple of month, she skipped grades too. Oh yeah, what
Speaker 1: my daughter graduated sixteen. She took a year off from school,
Speaker 1: entered college at seventeen instead of sixteen, and graduated college
Speaker 1: in two years. Yeah, who is this wizard child? She's
Speaker 1: my kid comes from smart parents. Mm hmm. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you're also you're also denying her her childhood. You're rushing her.
Speaker 1: I saved two years of college tuition. Oh sweetheart, you
Speaker 1: want to graduate college in two years, you go right ahead,
Speaker 1: go for it. I will tell you that. Hold on, no, no,
Speaker 1: you save two years of college tuition. Listen. I didn't
Speaker 1: tell her to do it, I just tuition. Now we've
Speaker 1: talked about. We've talked about diet grape soda on the podcast,
Speaker 1: not the grape soda from the Chinese restaurant, but diet
Speaker 1: grape soda, and our listener Lacey, we can't find it.
Speaker 1: It's at a shortage, very few brands. Fanta makes one.
Speaker 1: I can't find anywhere and in my area. Although maybe
Speaker 1: Fresh Pet has diet grape soda. But Lacy Goodson, who
Speaker 1: lives in Alabama, sent sent me a case once of
Speaker 1: diet grape Pico. Grape Pico is an Alabama company. Now,
Speaker 1: if you google them, I've already searched the web, so
Speaker 1: you don't have to waste too much time. They'll show
Speaker 1: up on Walmart's website. They'll show up on Target's website,
Speaker 1: but they won't ship them. Target won't ship them. Walmart
Speaker 1: won't ship Walmart will ship me a couch furniture? What
Speaker 1: like his bookcases? Is it a Tuscaloosa exclusive? I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you can buy it on eBay a case like
Speaker 1: of twelve cans, but a can of soda is normally
Speaker 1: like in a case, it's usually for a case of
Speaker 1: twelve ten twelve dollars. When they're on sale. Okay, you
Speaker 1: want to talk about body eBay, they're like twenty eight
Speaker 1: dollars six dollars? Who want to talk about a markup
Speaker 1: and getting ripped off? So you didn't buying that ship
Speaker 1: The only place you can buy it at at an
Speaker 1: even reasonable price that will ship it to me is Amazon,
Speaker 1: and it's it's somewhere between twenty four and thirty depending
Speaker 1: on which somebody has it is selling it right because
Speaker 1: they know you can only get it. It's really good
Speaker 1: diet grape soda. Take my word as a grape sorte enthusiast. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm said, you know what I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: paying for a ten dollar cases soda. I can't do it,
Speaker 1: even though it's good, I can't do it. Lacy, you
Speaker 1: spoiled me. Okay, So I I I email grape Pico
Speaker 1: and you know what, after all this time, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just email grape Pico, I said. So, I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to uh to find your product. I'm a
Speaker 1: big Fannie product. Um I sir, thank you for getting
Speaker 1: back to me. You really don't, oh, I said, I'm
Speaker 1: having a problem. I just explained in the email what
Speaker 1: I just said. To you. I can't find it, can't
Speaker 1: nobody ships it. Is there any company that ships it?
Speaker 1: Is there a local shipper? There's gonna be some way
Speaker 1: I can get it in New York, New Jersey. I
Speaker 1: can't do it, And I said, it's twenty four dollars.
Speaker 1: I don't want to pay twenty four dollars. Here's what
Speaker 1: the back, Hi, David. Oh, you can order directly from
Speaker 1: us a case of grape picco twenty four pack, A
Speaker 1: twenty four pack? Oh boy, here comes will be ten Oh?
Speaker 1: How much is the shipping? Shipping is typically sixty dollars?
Speaker 1: Then they said, well, twenty five to sixty, depending on
Speaker 1: your location and the weight of the product ordered. Would
Speaker 1: you like to proceed with ordering? And you're like a
Speaker 1: hell no? So I wrote back, thank you for getting
Speaker 1: back to me. You really don't think I'm paying seventy
Speaker 1: dollars for a case of soda, do you? I told
Speaker 1: you it's dollars on Amazon and that was too much money.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you think that's helpful. I
Speaker 1: asked you how I can get someone to shipping on
Speaker 1: the normal pricing? Walmart ships everything, right, you spend thirty
Speaker 1: five it's free suthing like that, I would buy thirty
Speaker 1: five dollars worth of soda. A couple of cases have
Speaker 1: ship it. They won't ship it. So my question was,
Speaker 1: why is there a ban on shipping this soda out
Speaker 1: of state? Their response was, we'll ship it seven seven dollars.
Speaker 1: So I don't to say a few grape picco. But
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like, up yours a grape picco? Up yours
Speaker 1: grape pico, grape Pico. Yeah, That's what I'm feeling. So alright,
Speaker 1: that's not my rant. I still got the easy past.
Speaker 1: Let's do it, alright, Come up next, coming up next. Alright, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is Jim found here listening to the Brooklyn Boys.
Speaker 1: All right, now before we get into the rant, did
Speaker 1: you have anything else on your mind? No, I don't
Speaker 1: want to clear the air. I do want to suggest
Speaker 1: something that you have to handle it. Okay, what's that?
Speaker 1: I want to create a mailing list, an email mailing list.
Speaker 1: If people send what's our email address the Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 1: podcast at gmail dot com. I feel like it'll take
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to compile before everyone catches up
Speaker 1: to this episode. Yeah, I know, I just met a
Speaker 1: guy on whose episode fifty seven. That's he's up to, right,
Speaker 1: But for the most part, people are at least in
Speaker 1: the one teens hopefully right. I would like you to
Speaker 1: email us if you want to be on our email list,
Speaker 1: and Scary will create a large email that will go
Speaker 1: out to I don't know fifty of you, Let's say
Speaker 1: the first fifty sixty people, the people that don't know
Speaker 1: when it's like there's look, there are some of you
Speaker 1: that get to eat that you already know in the podcast.
Speaker 1: You check every Thursday, you check every Friday. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're someone that waits until I Heart Radio tells you
Speaker 1: on Monday there was a new episode, and you want
Speaker 1: to know if it's Thursday Friday, or you want to
Speaker 1: know when we're delayed from Thursday to Friday. Scary can
Speaker 1: set up an email list and then shoot out an
Speaker 1: email to all of you letting you know when number
Speaker 1: one is a new episode and number two when the
Speaker 1: episode is delayed to day so you don't keep checking.
Speaker 1: That sounds a good idea. I like that idea. Okay.
Speaker 1: By the way, um, we could definitely use some more
Speaker 1: reviews on Apple on iTunes. Uh, and we should start
Speaker 1: listening to other means as well, because we get the
Speaker 1: credit on iHeart Radio no matter what. So definitely listen
Speaker 1: on iTunes, Definitely listen on Spotify. We're on Spotify, We're
Speaker 1: on Pandora. We want to try and crack those top
Speaker 1: one lists, and the only way we're gonna do that
Speaker 1: is if you listen through those uh those um portals. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now I'm trying to figure out, um why we
Speaker 1: slipped so much on the podcast chart for heart Radio. Well,
Speaker 1: we took we took a week off, took a week off,
Speaker 1: and then we lost some steam there. So I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that this this episode, we need we need you guys
Speaker 1: to go back to the old not downloading the episode
Speaker 1: so we get the credit every time you hear it,
Speaker 1: multiple platforms, all that stuff. Okay, and by the way,

Speaker 1: with that, alright. I don't need to see that alright.
Speaker 1: So let me tell you what. Let me explain what
Speaker 1: easy passes. Easy pass is similar to things you have
Speaker 1: in every city, big city around the country. It's those tags,
Speaker 1: a little white tags use a little box you put
Speaker 1: in your window, and suction cops are on your dashboard,
Speaker 1: and they allow you to go through the toll booth
Speaker 1: and it reads your your your your your pass, and
Speaker 1: it charges your account and you don't have to stop
Speaker 1: and deal with the toll booth and given money and
Speaker 1: all that. If you don't have one of those, thank
Speaker 1: you because you go in the slow line while I
Speaker 1: zipped through the easy pass line. Now, over the years,
Speaker 1: we had my wife and I had two cars right,
Speaker 1: one each, and we had old big square easy passes.
Speaker 1: And around ten years ago the batteries died and we
Speaker 1: had to get new ones. Okay, okay, so I ordered
Speaker 1: new ones. They sent new ones. I think they sent
Speaker 1: them automatically, they redesigned them, whatever the case. And we're
Speaker 1: supposed to send back the old ones. Well I never
Speaker 1: sent them back. I put them somewhere in the garage
Speaker 1: and I lost them, never to be seen again. A
Speaker 1: couple of years ago I found one of them. So
Speaker 1: I've lost one to have one, all right, So I
Speaker 1: technically have four. The two new ones, the lost one somewhere,
Speaker 1: and the old one I found that is dead, has
Speaker 1: no battery. It is used. I explained it. Didn't you
Speaker 1: hear that sun pass? I just explained the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Don't you listen to a podcast? I know I was.
Speaker 1: Actually I was writing back to Mark Denner's and telling you,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this. I'm a podcast professional. So before I tell
Speaker 1: the story, I explained what they need to set it up.
Speaker 1: All right, Sorry, alright, so back to you. I now
Speaker 1: have four on my account. But as I explained a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I bought my middle daughter a car,
Speaker 1: so in a few months when she gets her license,
Speaker 1: she has one to drive with me or my wife
Speaker 1: in it, and to drive around the neighborhood as she
Speaker 1: gets better. We have a car for everyone to use,
Speaker 1: but primarily it's for her to have. So she has
Speaker 1: a car. It's a little older, so I have to
Speaker 1: worry too much, Okay, so I need to get an
Speaker 1: easy pass for it. So I'm like, you know what
Speaker 1: I better do. The ones are dead. I have them now.
Speaker 1: I knew this from a while ago. If you lose them,
Speaker 1: they charge you sixteen dollars, but if you never return
Speaker 1: them or mention it, they just leave it on your account.
Speaker 1: So the lost one I never mentioned. The old one.
Speaker 1: I had to go looking for I find it. So
Speaker 1: I figured, you know what, I'll go on the website.
Speaker 1: I'll put in that the battery's dead, send me a
Speaker 1: new one to replace the one that I need. Now.
Speaker 1: So I go on the website and uh, it's so.
Speaker 1: I called them first. I'm sorry. I called them and
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I got this old one. I have
Speaker 1: the serial number. I want to get a new one.
Speaker 1: Says we have to go on the website put in
Speaker 1: it that it's an old one, and then you need
Speaker 1: a new one. Okay, no problem, just do that. She
Speaker 1: just because you have the serial numbers and you gotta
Speaker 1: get to go through your account to do that. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can do it online, no problem. They're easy Pass website.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about easy Pass. There is
Speaker 1: nothing easy about easy Pass. The website looks like it
Speaker 1: was designed in the nineties. It's a clunky piece of
Speaker 1: dropped down owns and everything's gonna reload. It's horrible. New
Speaker 1: York easy Pass, New Jersey easy Pass. I've had them.
Speaker 1: Both their websites suck. But this is New York easy Pass. Okay.
Speaker 1: So you go on the website and the only options
Speaker 1: they give you are lost or stolen. Either of those,
Speaker 1: they're gonna charge you sixteen dollars. If I reported stolen,
Speaker 1: they charge you sixteen dollars because they don't believe that
Speaker 1: they figured you lost and you're looking in the drop down,
Speaker 1: you're looking for dead on, dead on, dead right battery. Okay.
Speaker 1: So it also says I have four and they only
Speaker 1: allow four on the account, So I have to return
Speaker 1: this one. But there's only option is to say it
Speaker 1: was lost or stolen. But I haven't. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get charged sixteen dollars. Okay. So I called back
Speaker 1: and I spoke to Crystal. I'm gonna say it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna look into my crystal ball right now. If this
Speaker 1: ship doesn't end well, Crystal told me, I tell Crystal
Speaker 1: Christmael told me I should go ahead and market lost
Speaker 1: your stolen, and I said, I'll be charged sixteen dollars.
Speaker 1: I have the tag. I just want to return it.
Speaker 1: Why did the woman I spoke to ten minutes ago
Speaker 1: tell me there was an option and so that you
Speaker 1: could tell you. Now you're telling me I have to
Speaker 1: market lost your stolen. There's no third option. So she says, well,
Speaker 1: sir um, there's no third option. I said, I'm calling
Speaker 1: to tell you there's no third option, and you're telling
Speaker 1: me there's no option. She says, I'm sorry, sir, you
Speaker 1: should know there's no third option. It's like if so,
Speaker 1: I said, It's like if I called you and told
Speaker 1: you my house is on fire and your response back
Speaker 1: to me was, sir, your house is on fire. I
Speaker 1: already know there's no third option. I then said, how
Speaker 1: do I go and put in a claim that my
Speaker 1: battery is dead without getting charged? She said, you can
Speaker 1: mail it back. It takes two weeks for us to
Speaker 1: receive it, and then we'll get a new unit out
Speaker 1: to you. I said, so that means I'll be with
Speaker 1: out an easy pass in my new car for three weeks.
Speaker 1: That's unacceptable. She says, well, sir, there's only two options,
Speaker 1: stolen or lost. And I said, I know that calling you.
Speaker 1: Please stop telling me that I called to tell you that.
Speaker 1: I said to her, what do I do to get
Speaker 1: a new tag? She says, I can check the system
Speaker 1: and see if there's a claim already in the system
Speaker 1: for you get a new tag, and I can send
Speaker 1: you a new tag because of the dead battery. I said,
Speaker 1: there isn't a claim on the account because I didn't
Speaker 1: put in a claim on the account because there's no
Speaker 1: option to put a claim in the account. She says, no,
Speaker 1: we might have put in the claim when the battery died.
Speaker 1: I said, you couldn't possibly know when the battery dies
Speaker 1: because the battery has been dead for ten years. I
Speaker 1: haven't put in a claim. She said, well, give me
Speaker 1: your account number and I'll look it up to see
Speaker 1: if there's a claim, and if there's a claim, we
Speaker 1: can get you a unit out as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: When we received the dead unit back, which takes two weeks,
Speaker 1: I said, I already know there's no claim. I didn't
Speaker 1: put in a new claim, and even if there was
Speaker 1: a claim, we're still at the same time period. If
Speaker 1: there wasn't a claim, She said, sir, you're not listening
Speaker 1: to me. There might already be an a claim a
Speaker 1: claim in there. I need to see if there's a
Speaker 1: claim because if there's a claim, that will get you
Speaker 1: a unit out to you. So I said, what would
Speaker 1: I have had to do to put in a claim
Speaker 1: because I'd like to put an a claim. She said, well, sir,
Speaker 1: I can't have you put an acclaim to like check
Speaker 1: to see if there's already claimed. I said, let's pretend
Speaker 1: there's no claim. If I called you right now and
Speaker 1: I said, may I put an a claim? Why would
Speaker 1: you ask me if I could put an acclaim there's
Speaker 1: already claiming? Why would I say, can I put an
Speaker 1: a claim? If I already put an a claim? Sometimes
Speaker 1: we put an a claim for you. No, you didn't.
Speaker 1: You did not put an a claim for me, she says.
Speaker 1: She says, well, did you put an a claim ten
Speaker 1: years ago? Because you may have put an a claim
Speaker 1: ten years ago. I said, if I had put a
Speaker 1: claim in ten years ago and you didn't send me
Speaker 1: a new unit to replace this unit, don't you think
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Also, why does it take two weeks
Speaker 1: to send me a new tag? Mail takes three days? Well, sir,
Speaker 1: that's business days. It might take two weeks. So I said,
Speaker 1: what does business days have to do with the fact
Speaker 1: that it takes two weeks. You didn't say it takes
Speaker 1: ten business days. You said two weeks. Why should any
Speaker 1: mail takes two weeks? Even if it was three to
Speaker 1: four business days, it would still take one week. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't take two weeks. So she says it might take
Speaker 1: two weeks, sir, if it takes two weeks, Uh, that
Speaker 1: that's we want to protect ourselves, I said, Crystal, If
Speaker 1: it takes two weeks to mail an easy Pass from
Speaker 1: New York to New Jersey, the United Postal Service should
Speaker 1: be out of business. Well, you could send it certified mail,
Speaker 1: and this way you would know when it arrived. So
Speaker 1: I said, how, Well, knowing when it arrived helped me.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna get me angry if I know it
Speaker 1: arrived and yet you didn't send it out to me
Speaker 1: for two weeks. Why would I want to know that? Wow?
Speaker 1: What advantages it to send it certified mail? Is that faster? No? No,
Speaker 1: it's actually ten times slower. I had a problem with
Speaker 1: certified That's correct, it's it takes longer. It takes longer. Dude,
Speaker 1: they put that ship in a lock box every step
Speaker 1: of the way. You have to have a thousand signatures.
Speaker 1: Do not send shit certified mail ever, Right, So I said,
Speaker 1: how does help sending certified mail help me? Terrible? Get
Speaker 1: this faster? Here's the clip of her saying how it
Speaker 1: helps me? Ready? How there's the clip. That's how it's
Speaker 1: flunny to me? So she says, she says, sir, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what it is you want me to do now,
Speaker 1: I said, what I want you to do is find
Speaker 1: me someone who cares that your site doesn't have a
Speaker 1: third option. She says, I do care, sir, and so
Speaker 1: you know, don't bother looking for it. The site doesn't
Speaker 1: have a third option. I already that's why I'm calling you,
Speaker 1: I said to her, I would like to speak to
Speaker 1: somebody else. Who would you like to speak to her?
Speaker 1: I said, I would like to speak to somebody who
Speaker 1: doesn't tell me there's a claim on my account. If
Speaker 1: there couldn't possibly be a claim on my account for
Speaker 1: a dead battery that I haven't reported for a decade.
Speaker 1: I want to speak to someone who doesn't tell me
Speaker 1: to send a certified mail when that doesn't help. I
Speaker 1: want to speak to someone who will get me a
Speaker 1: new tag in less than two weeks. Why can't I
Speaker 1: put an a claim with you for a dead battery?
Speaker 1: If you guys can put in the claim, why can't
Speaker 1: I put in the claim? Can you put in the
Speaker 1: claim for me? Now? If you have to go to
Speaker 1: the website server part of Lost the Stone, so I said,
Speaker 1: But I'll be charged sixteen Why can't I tell you
Speaker 1: there's a dead battery. You're telling me I have to
Speaker 1: send in the unit, wait up to two weeks for
Speaker 1: you to get it, process it, wait at least another
Speaker 1: week for it to come back. You're asking me to
Speaker 1: be without an easy Pass in my car for two
Speaker 1: to four weeks. What the problem is? I hold on,
Speaker 1: I said, you're asking me to be without your service
Speaker 1: for two to four weeks. You're losing business on this
Speaker 1: easy Pass, so you want me to be without this
Speaker 1: for two or four weeks and you think that's fine.
Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling me? Says, Yes, sir, that's correct,
Speaker 1: I said, And you don't think that sucks. I'm not
Speaker 1: at liberty to say, guess what, fucking easy Pass? The
Speaker 1: problem is, they're the only game in town. And when
Speaker 1: you're the only game in town, you never ever have
Speaker 1: competition or anyone breathing down your neck. You don't have
Speaker 1: to do better. Mediocrity prevails every time, right right, You'll
Speaker 1: always fucking be shit, and no one's gonna come around
Speaker 1: and swoop the business out from under you. You don't
Speaker 1: have to worry. Easy Pass is a monopoly. They're the
Speaker 1: only one. So if you don't like it. Tough titties
Speaker 1: don't have an easy pass pay cash because that's your
Speaker 1: only other option. It's either these played by these rules,
Speaker 1: or that's it. So that's why their website is from
Speaker 1: the fucking nineties. That's why the only two options. That's
Speaker 1: why you get shitty fucking ass attitudes like that on
Speaker 1: the phone. I'm angry for you, Brodie. So there's no
Speaker 1: there's no fighting. So you know what, why didn't you
Speaker 1: just pay the six team? In this case? Just pay
Speaker 1: the six team? So back, I could just feel like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna report it stolen? No, I
Speaker 1: called back. Yes, So I called back. I spoke to
Speaker 1: a third person. I said, what happens if I just
Speaker 1: reported stolen? If I reported? She said so? She said
Speaker 1: so she she told me something that Crystal didn't tell me.
Speaker 1: It's stupid, but she told me a solution. Put it
Speaker 1: in his lost, mail it to us and when we
Speaker 1: get it, will well, well will unreported lost for you
Speaker 1: and refund your sixteen dollars. I said, does that make
Speaker 1: any sense? Well, no, but that's the best we can do.
Speaker 1: That's because that's the way our website was wilt. And
Speaker 1: so she said website buttons on it, right, So so
Speaker 1: she said the refund. The refund will take up to
Speaker 1: ten business days. Disgusting. So I don't even know if
Speaker 1: I got the refund yet because I'm in the middle
Speaker 1: of waiting like ten disgusting, disgusting, unacceptable. But you know
Speaker 1: what in other in other you know versions, like you
Speaker 1: know with the with the FedEx rant, you can go
Speaker 1: to ups. You have other companies. This is other companies.
Speaker 1: There's no other company the company. I can't pass for
Speaker 1: pay cast right, I can't use a streaming service. I
Speaker 1: can't like call Amazon and have them give me. There's
Speaker 1: no other paths. So it's like you're dealing with it.
Speaker 1: You're dealing with our fucking subpart, shitty ass, fucking attitudes,
Speaker 1: and our representatives who can't help you fucking argue away
Speaker 1: out of a paper path. Let's speaking of I'm okay,
Speaker 1: speaking of shopping elsewhere before we leave, let's give the
Speaker 1: let's give our listeners the slices some good news. We
Speaker 1: had a conversation this week. I don't know, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: we're like the ground where is it coming soon? Conversation
Speaker 1: because people are now going to jump on us we
Speaker 1: had a conversation with a merchandiser about creating our merchandise
Speaker 1: for our merchant store. Are excited about right, so we
Speaker 1: are that much closer. Also, we have been laying the
Speaker 1: groundwork for a live broadcast. Now are friends at the
Speaker 1: Tails over Cocktails podcast which we have we look, we've
Speaker 1: promoted it. We're friends with them. You know Danielle Delolo
Speaker 1: from this podcast. She's on that with our friend Wendy
Speaker 1: and Astra and West. They do a very funny relationship
Speaker 1: e podcast Tales over Cocktails. They were supposed to do
Speaker 1: a podcast to night tonight and we were supposed to
Speaker 1: be there. In fact, we promoted it on the air.
Speaker 1: And so because of the coronavirus fears, some of them founded,
Speaker 1: some of them may be a little overblown. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying the viruses, but in this story, the club and
Speaker 1: a lot of the people that were going to the
Speaker 1: club have decided it's not a good idea to do
Speaker 1: this tonight. Some people canceled, they don't want to come
Speaker 1: into the city. They want refunds, so that that live
Speaker 1: podcast is off. So we know the slices don't care
Speaker 1: about viruses. They will come to see us they are
Speaker 1: the viruses, and that's correct. We are still looking at
Speaker 1: closer to the summer, maybe maybe when this is a
Speaker 1: little more under control. But so shout out to Tales
Speaker 1: of Cocktails, their their their thing was canceled, but shout
Speaker 1: out to us, we're a little close to the merchandise.
Speaker 1: When I when when when those podcasts goers were when
Speaker 1: you know those clubgoers were going to get that refund
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if they had to go to the website
Speaker 1: report they're lost the stolen to refund um. One of
Speaker 1: the things we did talk about with the merchandizer is
Speaker 1: there some items that because of the the limited amount
Speaker 1: that they're able to get for us, like weird items.
Speaker 1: There may be some things that are only on the
Speaker 1: website for a couple of weeks. We do some limited
Speaker 1: time like if they can't, you know, get to make
Speaker 1: that product long enough. So we're working on it. What
Speaker 1: do you say, what I want? We gotta get out
Speaker 1: of here. I don't feel like we should go. It's
Speaker 1: time back to old studios next week. So the court progress,
Speaker 1: boy boy, I w gladm
