Speaker 1: Guess who've just got back today? There Brooklyn has that
Speaker 1: he's been away. They both have so much to see.
Speaker 1: You know. Their names A Brody and Scaring the Boys,
Speaker 1: The Boys and podcasting. It's the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. Back
Speaker 1: from the Chasing, Episode two. Amazing we made it this far, Brody,
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe it is. Yeah, it is, because
Speaker 1: we're almost at the sun. Uh. And just as soon
Speaker 1: as that happens, Brody cuts out. Wow, that was what
Speaker 1: an entrance that was. We're on a high, we're doing well,
Speaker 1: we're feeling great. The music kicks in and then Brodie's
Speaker 1: microphone cuts out and now he's back. Now back, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's this summer? This summer will be five years since
Speaker 1: we started the podcast, so we're getting close. What's amazing?
Speaker 1: What if we and you know, if I try to
Speaker 1: think about what we've spoken about and covered over episodes,
Speaker 1: not I know, I know you complained about a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff, but other than that, I remember me, I
Speaker 1: think you complained about ten times more than I have. Well,
Speaker 1: let's see if we let's see if we're gonna recap
Speaker 1: to five years, uh, naming the show some garbage pails,
Speaker 1: dial a big box, a lot of funck U's and
Speaker 1: free dessert. Right. That's it, that's what you missed. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about our merch store. We have. We have
Speaker 1: some some new things going on in our merch store.
Speaker 1: And I see, Brodie, you're already, um, you know you
Speaker 1: you're already wearing some sort of music is okay. So
Speaker 1: when your Brodie's computer is wearing the new items from
Speaker 1: our merch store. Okay. So when the song just played,
Speaker 1: you know, you know their names of Brodian, Scary, usually Scary, yells,
Speaker 1: scary and Brody. Right, I decided not to do that
Speaker 1: this time and switch it up. Okay, So the Brodian, Scary,
Speaker 1: Scary and Brodie thing has not gone away. We still
Speaker 1: have We still have that debate all the time, as
Speaker 1: you guys know, and so that plays into some of
Speaker 1: our new merch because I made a conscious decision and
Speaker 1: Scary notice it right away. What are we talking about. Well,
Speaker 1: we've asked you guys about some of the things we
Speaker 1: should add to the merchandise store, and one of them
Speaker 1: was sticker sheets. Yes, of the various things that we
Speaker 1: have in our store, like you know, the famous pizza shirt,
Speaker 1: the logos, the original logo, you got the Pete Pepperoni
Speaker 1: pizza red and white one, you got the Slice for
Speaker 1: Life that looks like a pizza box. And then there
Speaker 1: are these stickers, the grammar Police, the grammar Police. So
Speaker 1: we made sticker sheets of this, right, So that's that's
Speaker 1: where we're going with this. We have sticker sheets. Now
Speaker 1: we'll talk about how you can get them. But to
Speaker 1: be fair, our boy Matt made my favorite sticker, the
Speaker 1: blue one, the navy blue one, and it's the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys logo and it's his Brooklyn Boys podcast with and
Speaker 1: one of them says with Brody and Scary, and one
Speaker 1: of them says, with Skiery and Brody, you can have
Speaker 1: both of them. Right. So Brody decorating in his his
Speaker 1: laptop with all the stickers except for the one that
Speaker 1: says Brooklyn Boys Podcast with Scary and Brodie. Yes, would
Speaker 1: you expect any less from me? So not. Now, here's
Speaker 1: the thing about the stickers, which I have to say,
Speaker 1: as someone who's a little bit uh O c D
Speaker 1: or an'tal, whatever you want to call it, when it
Speaker 1: comes to things being straight, whether it's a picture on
Speaker 1: a wall or hanging a TV or if there's something
Speaker 1: that can be a little crooked, it drives me crazy.
Speaker 1: I'll go into public places and straighten a picture when
Speaker 1: I'm walking by it. And so usually when I hang
Speaker 1: a picture on the wall, I end up with with
Speaker 1: twenty holes because I have to keep re hanging it
Speaker 1: till it's perfectly straight. Yeah, And so the stickers on
Speaker 1: my laptop, I couldn't figure out how I wanted to
Speaker 1: put them on the back, so I put them in
Speaker 1: one pattern, that another pattern. I kept peeling them off,
Speaker 1: putting them back, peeling them off, putting them back. And
Speaker 1: the beauty of these stickers is that they don't leave
Speaker 1: any sticky residue on on whatever you're pulling them off.
Speaker 1: You could stick them on, and you could stick them off,
Speaker 1: and then you could stick them on somewhere else and
Speaker 1: they'll still stick. Now, I'm not saying the glue less forever,
Speaker 1: but I probably took these stickers off at least seven
Speaker 1: or eight times each one, almost like you were testing it.
Speaker 1: You were trying to put it through the wringer. For
Speaker 1: not my plan, but ultimately I think that's the w Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me let me phrase that I did it for
Speaker 1: the slices not because I'm I'm crazy about things being
Speaker 1: straight or equal distant or perfectly centered. But I did
Speaker 1: it for the slices. Let's go with that, right, let's go.
Speaker 1: So he is the deal. Go to Brooklyn Boys dot
Speaker 1: Big Cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel
Speaker 1: dot com now and you can buy a full sheet

Speaker 1: got back from vacation. It was Easter Sunday, and I
Speaker 1: was with my parents and only your parents and also
Speaker 1: pointed out siblings. Yeah, but my favorite was my parents
Speaker 1: when when they reacted to the fact that I got
Speaker 1: the very fancy Carbone reservation. Originally we were gonna go
Speaker 1: to Carbone. Now if if you carboner, I had no idea.
Speaker 1: I have. I have a carboner every time I hear
Speaker 1: there's an open res the Carbone are the same people,
Speaker 1: by the way, that owned the famous Siddel's restaurant, which, yes,
Speaker 1: major food group that Mario Carbone, rich Tersei, the people
Speaker 1: who o the part who owned Palm. Those people, the
Speaker 1: people who they have a bunch of Sidels. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: owned Palm, which I happened to like very much. They
Speaker 1: obviously that was the first that was their first effort. Now,
Speaker 1: if you could, while we're while we're talking about this
Speaker 1: real quick, I want you to just remind the audience
Speaker 1: because you went by quickly the names of the of
Speaker 1: the gentleman, the very Jewish names of the gentleman that
Speaker 1: own the Jewish restaurant Sidels, the Jewish style rest. Ahead,
Speaker 1: go I name the names of people carbon that I
Speaker 1: said weren't very Jewish people. Go ahead, Mario Carbone and
Speaker 1: rich Tersei. Marrio not Jewish, Carbone not Jewish, Richie not Jewish,
Speaker 1: and Terisi not Jewish. All four names could not be Therefore,
Speaker 1: as I said to three years ago, not an establishment
Speaker 1: owned and run and cultivated by Jewish. Where you're going
Speaker 1: with this? This is the deal conversation, not not not
Speaker 1: bringing the deal, by the way, but but no, but
Speaker 1: because a problem on Twitter, Let's get to that later.
Speaker 1: Are you sure about that? Because I just wanted to.
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you the results of my poll
Speaker 1: about the un we get on the pole. You tagged
Speaker 1: a chef that you claimed we both knew, Jason No
Speaker 1: chef Josh Capon. Josh Capon hashtag tribe part of the
Speaker 1: tribe Jewish cooking. And he always posts on Instagram the
Speaker 1: best recipes. He owned a restaurant called Lure. He was
Speaker 1: he actually was the executive chef, and a couple of
Speaker 1: other great ones. He's also on Chopped. He's been a
Speaker 1: judge of a highly revered chef in the culinary world.
Speaker 1: Uh studied n do the best. He where he worked
Speaker 1: in the finest establishments. He posted a recipe for mats
Speaker 1: of ball soup and he threw dilan not deal not
Speaker 1: only in the mats of balls themselves, but on top afterwards.
Speaker 1: And and I put I posted to Twitter, I'm like, look,
Speaker 1: coming from a Jewish guy, traditional Jewish recipe there it
Speaker 1: is brody in black and white. And now people like
Speaker 1: shady jew Mobster and some others got on my case
Speaker 1: and they were just expected expressing expressing their personal disdain
Speaker 1: for dil And all I was trying to say is
Speaker 1: it's used in traditional Jewish cooking. But what I and
Speaker 1: and and and what you hold on what you said
Speaker 1: was that it was the definitive because one Jewish chef
Speaker 1: had one recipe for dil and what I and shady
Speaker 1: jew Momster that is correct. By the way, I and
Speaker 1: Shady ju Mobster in a couple of the people all
Speaker 1: said was traditional is is your own tradition, right, whatever
Speaker 1: your tradition is, So it's not traditional in my family
Speaker 1: or shaded you mopsters are the people that we were
Speaker 1: chiming in. That's just one recipe. It doesn't prove It
Speaker 1: just means that he likes Dylan his mutable. But listen
Speaker 1: that what we learned today this morning. There are people
Speaker 1: who like ham and pineapple on their pizza. And you
Speaker 1: wanted to take Danielle's Italian card away because you said,
Speaker 1: real Italians don't eat pizza with Hammond pineapple. Fruit put
Speaker 1: fruit unless it's tomatoes. Tomato is a fruit bana bat.
Speaker 1: Danielle Minero is completely Italian. However, she likes a recipe
Speaker 1: with Hammond pineapple. Now does that make it a definitive
Speaker 1: Italian recipe? No, it means she's an Italian with some
Speaker 1: strange taste. So I I submit to you, Chef Josh
Speaker 1: Capon is the Danielle Minaro of Hawaiian pizzas. When it
Speaker 1: comes to Dylan your mutable soup, I rest my case
Speaker 1: might drop no, but I will say this though, and
Speaker 1: and if if you really want me to concede a
Speaker 1: loss on this one. I put an Instagram poll up
Speaker 1: and I was like, traditional Jewish cooking, do you guys
Speaker 1: aware of this? I do not know the results. I
Speaker 1: actually I actually put a pole, a twenty four our
Speaker 1: pole on my Instagram story and I said, uh. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I did see some of you slices
Speaker 1: trying to stack the deck. I got you. I didn't
Speaker 1: I didn't vote. I didn't know, but I know you
Speaker 1: didn't know about it. And I said, hey, traditional Jewish,
Speaker 1: settle this once and for all. The Jewish dish of
Speaker 1: of of of max of ball soup deal or no
Speaker 1: deal in your rest in the recipe, Howie Mandela jew
Speaker 1: would also asked the same question, dil or no deal,
Speaker 1: deal or no deal. So it opened up suitcases and
Speaker 1: inside with no deal. Much to my dismay and to
Speaker 1: your delight, results were sevent that said not not Jewish. Tradition.
Speaker 1: Yes it was seven. Buy your sticker sheets, you use
Speaker 1: your brody and scary sticker. Thank you, it's there. Hey,
Speaker 1: before we went to break, we're talking about Dill, and
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna harp on Dill anymore. But I wanted
Speaker 1: to thank Lindsey Specter, who sent me a T shirt
Speaker 1: that said big Deal Energy. I love that Big Deal
Speaker 1: Jackie Helchowski, who sent me an ad for Dill pickles
Speaker 1: salt teens um hold on average game er Dad sent
Speaker 1: me a picture of I don't know if this is real,
Speaker 1: but Dill pickle pop tarts. And William Rivera who sent
Speaker 1: me a picture of Dil bursting with flavor prickles pringles
Speaker 1: rather bill pringles Dill pickle flavor pringles. So those are
Speaker 1: some things I will not be eating. But big Deal Energy.
Speaker 1: If that was a great, big deal energy, I will
Speaker 1: say that could make a good shirt for the future. There,
Speaker 1: Matt from NK, if you're listening that maybe i'd have
Speaker 1: maybe I'd try it after some hennessy. Right, that's that's
Speaker 1: a reference to the song. And if I win the lotto,
Speaker 1: if I wasn't rich man. So I was telling you
Speaker 1: that my parents and I went out. We were going
Speaker 1: to go to Carbon Scary Scary who sings this song?
Speaker 1: I'm quoting what which one? Lotto? Right? That's why I said,
Speaker 1: if I'll try it, if I win the lotto, if
Speaker 1: it was a lot of h after right after on
Speaker 1: the roofside, well that's okay. So so I had a point.
Speaker 1: Um my parents were I was talking. I got on
Speaker 1: the carbone in the Adel's tip anyway. Yes, very Jewish
Speaker 1: social carbone, very famous place, hard to get into. It's
Speaker 1: it's a big it's a big deal. It's a big
Speaker 1: deal in New York. They're now opening all around the world.
Speaker 1: There's one in Miami, Vegas, l A, wherever, whatever you
Speaker 1: name it. Well, the food look great. I would try.
Speaker 1: It's a hard reservation. But here's what happened. This is
Speaker 1: what I was facing. Whoa, whoa. You'll find a way
Speaker 1: to get me in there that counts repay. No, you
Speaker 1: should take me as my my deal victory dinner. Well
Speaker 1: we never had a deal about deal. You should just say,
Speaker 1: you know what, bro, we've been fighting over this for
Speaker 1: three years. I made to get a dinner at a
Speaker 1: good place. I made a concession. I don't know you
Speaker 1: two dinners. I owe you one dinner if you want
Speaker 1: car you want, you can get a steak at Carbone. No,
Speaker 1: I would like, you know what I would like my
Speaker 1: steak dinner? Uh this year, now that the the now
Speaker 1: that the restaurants are fully opened again, and at the moment,
Speaker 1: as of this recording, there are no pandemic restrictions in
Speaker 1: New York as far as eating out. Nothing. So all right,
Speaker 1: I'm ready, this is so so my my parents well
Speaker 1: like now, I thought I was doing a good thing
Speaker 1: because it's a hard reservation to get into Carbones, and
Speaker 1: you don't, guys, you have to understand the magnitude of
Speaker 1: being able to land a reservation, let alone one on
Speaker 1: Easter Sunday, when I'm gonna be spending with my parents,
Speaker 1: I got a phone. I wish I had. I wish
Speaker 1: I was recording at Brody. You could you could imagine
Speaker 1: I get a call from my father with my mother
Speaker 1: on the phone, when my mother when I when I
Speaker 1: get a call from my dad, and then five seconds
Speaker 1: later I hear the phone the other landline pickups and
Speaker 1: that's my mother. I'm like, oh, here comes up, here
Speaker 1: comes an intervention. So my father goes exactly that, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up, Tony, Hey, Anthony? You called your father Tony, No,
Speaker 1: Tony's his name. I called an what's that dad? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You call your mommy, Mommy, you're not calling your father dad.
Speaker 1: And he was, Hey, mommy's Mommy's on the phone. Mommy's
Speaker 1: on the phone too. Okay, great, Hey, listen about our
Speaker 1: plans for East Sunday. I'm like, yeah, I see you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be taking us to this uh Carbone place. Um, well,
Speaker 1: me and mommy looked it up, looked it up on
Speaker 1: Google mAbs and we looked it up. We look up
Speaker 1: at some of the reviews on Yelp, and I gotta say,
Speaker 1: it looks like some kind of a jet set jet
Speaker 1: set his place. It looks like jet sets. It looks
Speaker 1: like for the jet set crowd. Did me a mommy,
Speaker 1: look like with the jet set crowd. Your father, your
Speaker 1: father is now calling this place Carbones, the the fancy
Speaker 1: garbage pail of restaurants. He's like, look, because like your
Speaker 1: fancy garbage pain. You how to hear him? He's like,
Speaker 1: and he and and now he's he's getting angry as
Speaker 1: he's talking. He was, and I'm like listen, I said,
Speaker 1: you don't understand. I said, first of all, it's not
Speaker 1: just a flash in the pan kind of place. I've
Speaker 1: eaten there five or six times. Would I have gone
Speaker 1: back repeatedly if it was a jet set place and
Speaker 1: the food wasn't good? Or is it? You know? I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta take my word for it that
Speaker 1: you know. I'll try anything once. But when I go back,
Speaker 1: I said, I've been that four times. The spicy ricka
Speaker 1: Tony is a thing. The the the the real palm
Speaker 1: on the bone. It's like a tomahawk reveal palm with
Speaker 1: the palm popped on right there with the bone. And
Speaker 1: he goes, I gotta tell you something, Anthony. He goes,
Speaker 1: where's the veal osbuco? And I said, I said, I said,
Speaker 1: he they got. This is a basic restaurant. That's it's
Speaker 1: like spaghetti and meat balls, basic dishes. I don't need
Speaker 1: anything on here this menu. And he want he wants
Speaker 1: a basic restaurant. He's no, he doesn't. He wants viola sabuco.
Speaker 1: He wants a double double pork chop. He wants. Upset
Speaker 1: that the restaurant you're going to is too basic it's not.
Speaker 1: He's trying to say that it's Italian American classics, but
Speaker 1: it's a very basic menu. It's chicken pot was too fancy. Opposite. No,
Speaker 1: he wants real genzo. Excuse me, I could say that
Speaker 1: I'm Italian. He wants real Italy, real Italy food like
Speaker 1: he wants. He goes, he goes, where's the scongeli, where's
Speaker 1: the fish salad? I want to seafood, the cold seafood salad,
Speaker 1: the fruit, the del the food, all that. I said, Well,
Speaker 1: they have calamari on there. I said, they got chicken palm,
Speaker 1: I got, they got different types of pasta. I said,
Speaker 1: the pasta's outrages they have. Did he doom you a favor,
Speaker 1: to us a favor cancel the reservation? Oh no, dude.
Speaker 1: It was like it was like I took a knife
Speaker 1: to the heart and they were twisting it. Because it is.
Speaker 1: Again I'm going to reiterate, it is so fucking hard
Speaker 1: to get a reservation at this place on any giving
Speaker 1: that you played in the morning show, car didn't you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: on any given Sunday, pun intended, it's hard to get
Speaker 1: a reservation, let alone Easter Sunday. They did me a
Speaker 1: favorite body letting us in there. Now gotta go eat crow.
Speaker 1: Now I gotta call them back. And by the way,
Speaker 1: my parents want something a little bit more uh with
Speaker 1: which has a lot more Italian dishes. My father wants
Speaker 1: my father wants something not not as fancy or plain.
Speaker 1: It's it's like it's a he's a contradiction. It looked up.
Speaker 1: I looked up the term jet jet set. It's a
Speaker 1: term for an international social group of wealthy people who
Speaker 1: travel the world to participate in social activities unavailable to
Speaker 1: ordinary people. He's well, so kind of describes a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit, but the food is great. So it's
Speaker 1: your father is hilarious. He wants he wants something that's
Speaker 1: not fancy, but he wants something fancier than not fancy.
Speaker 1: He wants real Italian delicacies, like because when you go
Speaker 1: to an Italian restaurant, and again I might be speaking
Speaker 1: for the it's like Chinese food. In China, they don't
Speaker 1: eat low maine and pan fried noodles. That's what, right,
Speaker 1: that's what he's saying in the in the equivalent the
Speaker 1: the that's a great analogy. It's like, it's like Jewish food.
Speaker 1: You don't put dill on it. That's what the sup
Speaker 1: But yeah, I see what you're saying. But what I'm
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is he wanted to go to a
Speaker 1: place that was more traditional red sauce Italian but had
Speaker 1: a lot more like a big man. You go to
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant. And then again I'm speaking for the Tri
Speaker 1: state area, New York, New Jersey, Cannet, maybe some Florida,
Speaker 1: but California. Yeah, but like sometimes if you go to
Speaker 1: the Midwest, right, but if you go to the Midwest,
Speaker 1: you made this this you may not understand it, but
Speaker 1: you go to Italian restauraces. You put munster cheese on
Speaker 1: your chicken farm. But you're going to Italian staurant and
Speaker 1: they have like a menu a mile long, the size
Speaker 1: of a diner, and they have all kinds of like
Speaker 1: octop grilled octopus. Right one one whole page of the
Speaker 1: menu is for pecia. You fish right one whole and
Speaker 1: one is the is the big there's a whole feel section.
Speaker 1: If you don't just get one veal, there is a
Speaker 1: whole fal section. So he's trying to say and feel
Speaker 1: and every every chicken and veal is made eleven different ways,
Speaker 1: and so it's a mile long and they have all
Speaker 1: these other things. So so I kind of understand what
Speaker 1: he was saying because it's it's but what the thing is,
Speaker 1: they have a more limited menu, but they do those
Speaker 1: items really well. That's why it's that's quality control, folks.
Speaker 1: You can't offer seven things on the menu and be
Speaker 1: awesome at all of them. That's why some great rest
Speaker 1: of some of the greatest restaurants have limited menus because
Speaker 1: they perfect few of the dishes, some of the dishes
Speaker 1: that are just right when they're hyper focused on them.
Speaker 1: This is a concept my parents don't understand. So what
Speaker 1: I do. I cancel the reservation and we went to
Speaker 1: this place, Cousins in marl Borow, New Jersey. Not a client.
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't go to Carbone. No, we went to Cousins.
Speaker 1: And that's what's the video on Instagram was not Carbone.
Speaker 1: That was Cousins. It was at which an amazing restaurant
Speaker 1: in its own right. But I'm just saying it's it
Speaker 1: wasn't the city Carbone experience I really wanted to give
Speaker 1: to my my mother and father. But then again, according
Speaker 1: to them, that's whe the jets set crowd, and you know,
Speaker 1: me and mommy, we just want we want to go
Speaker 1: to a place we could get a good Italian food.
Speaker 1: So that was my Sunday. And that was after a
Speaker 1: week of me being in a Ruba and then Miami,
Speaker 1: which is a whole other thing. But how is your
Speaker 1: how is your vacation? You did? Did you celebrate passover
Speaker 1: or what? What? What was going on all of that?
Speaker 1: So let me let me tell you. I'll give you
Speaker 1: a rundown of my vacation and and maybe reverse ordus.
Speaker 1: I I want to end on how it started. Can
Speaker 1: we do that right after hit the button? Yeah? All right,
Speaker 1: scary Brodie. So I did. I did some decent things
Speaker 1: I had. I had a good time. So in reverse order.
Speaker 1: On Friday night, so I don't know, six days ago,
Speaker 1: we went to saying it properly Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, that's
Speaker 1: ruth apostrophees Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for my youngest daughter's birthday.
Speaker 1: Very nice, and I got a story. I got a
Speaker 1: story about her a little bit, nothing bad, but a story.
Speaker 1: And I had a great dinner just the three of
Speaker 1: us because my other two daughters are out of town.
Speaker 1: Us yes, similar similar to mine story. It was you're
Speaker 1: the dad, the mom, and the and the kid, and
Speaker 1: it was I'm the kid and then as my dad.
Speaker 1: But your siblings, your siblings screwed you over. My My
Speaker 1: other two siblings decided in college and one's ones out
Speaker 1: of the country at the moment, so it was just
Speaker 1: the three of us. Had a great dinner. Um we
Speaker 1: we had. I you know, I ordered a steak. I
Speaker 1: think I had the New York strip, the bone in
Speaker 1: New York Strip, I love it. And I ordered the
Speaker 1: potatoes are grotten and the sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes
Speaker 1: that Ruth's Chris have a crust on top, like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's terrific. Prefer their sweet potato sweet potatoes
Speaker 1: because they're they're there. Sweet potato pie is like crack.
Speaker 1: It's like crack pie. Oh, it's amazing, amazing good. By
Speaker 1: the way that when the food arrived, my daughter grabs
Speaker 1: the dish once it cooled off a little bit, grabs
Speaker 1: it and says, it's my birthday. This is mine. Just
Speaker 1: totally common deer. The whole dish common deered. So I
Speaker 1: I had to wait until she was so full that
Speaker 1: she said, all right, Dad, you can have something, so
Speaker 1: I got the don't you think I'm a sharer because
Speaker 1: sharing is caring and might get the table I love.
Speaker 1: I like to taste little things. But I like tast
Speaker 1: that's because you order every appetizer on the menu, as
Speaker 1: everyone knows, and this plenty to share. Now I'm not.
Speaker 1: I can't get mad of my daughter because it's her birthday.
Speaker 1: So I just went, okay, sure, and I loaded up
Speaker 1: on the potatoes or grotten, which is it's fine, It's fine.
Speaker 1: My wife wanted cream spinach because she eats that and
Speaker 1: I don't, and so I had the potatoes are grotten,
Speaker 1: and of course I shared my potatoes are grotten with
Speaker 1: her because of course why wouldn't I. But I didn't
Speaker 1: get to share her appetizer because I don't eat cream spinach.
Speaker 1: So I lost out on my sweet potatoes and I
Speaker 1: shared my potato, but I didn't so I didn't get
Speaker 1: side dish and a half. I got point eight five
Speaker 1: of a side dish, and again love sharing with my
Speaker 1: wife not a problem. But I did lose out on
Speaker 1: sweep potato. But because it was my daughter's birthday. So
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is play the birthday card people, because
Speaker 1: not nobody can say anything about it when it's your birthday,
Speaker 1: and and you play it even if it's not your birthday.
Speaker 1: To to the weight and waiter and wait staff, you
Speaker 1: may actually get a free dessert, say third time this year.
Speaker 1: How it's funny how that works out. That's on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: So before the Friday, my wife and I went to
Speaker 1: see Harry Potter and The Cursed Child both for the
Speaker 1: second time. We had seen it separately, and then we
Speaker 1: went to see it now together. What do you think
Speaker 1: I liked it more the second time. Now that's enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: That's like a five show. No, it's no longer six
Speaker 1: hours and two parts. It's now three hours with an intermission.
Speaker 1: They rewrote it and and cut some things out. Really, yes,
Speaker 1: why because people didn't want to sit there for two
Speaker 1: days or you know, they cut it down. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: But here's the here's this was the thing, the thing
Speaker 1: that I enjoyed the most. On Friday, the first Friday
Speaker 1: of our vacation, no Saturday, excuse me, my wife and
Speaker 1: I went to dinner at Bocaria right tampest place in
Speaker 1: Midtown Manhattan. Fantastic, really good food but I made the
Speaker 1: reservation online. So I'm a procrastinator, but I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be much better. And we haven't gone out to dinner
Speaker 1: in the city a lot. You know, the city was
Speaker 1: shut down for a while, so we didn't go out
Speaker 1: as much. So my wife says, oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: make reservations in this place. It looks like it's good.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, made them immediately. Normally I would wait
Speaker 1: till like a week later get around to it, hope
Speaker 1: for the best. Made them immediately online through their website.
Speaker 1: I get a confirmation, you have a reservation for dinner. Great. Great.
Speaker 1: The show started at eight o'clock, maybe seven, whatever time.
Speaker 1: Eight o'clock. Made the reservations for We get there and
Speaker 1: they said, oh, we have a table for you outside.
Speaker 1: Now it's raining outside. It's raining, but they have a
Speaker 1: wooden structure. They've built a wooden structure on the very
Speaker 1: wide Manhattan Streak of food shed. It's like a shock. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're sitting in the shack. It's connected to the front
Speaker 1: of the restaurant signed at the side of the road. Shock. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I said to the hostess, no, we would like
Speaker 1: to eat inside. Beautiful restaurant. Inside, I said, would like
Speaker 1: to eat inside? She's well, we don't have anything inside,
Speaker 1: said outside? I said, well, I made the reservation almost
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks ago. No, there was no mention.
Speaker 1: It said confirmed reservation. Nobody said anything. Oh that's how
Speaker 1: we have available. I'm sorry. So my wife tap puts
Speaker 1: her hand on my shoulder and says, no, no, let's
Speaker 1: not do this. Let's just go let's go eat outside.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'm okay. Now my wife gets cold so
Speaker 1: so much faster than I do. So I said, well,
Speaker 1: she s as you get cold, I don't want to
Speaker 1: sit outside. Nope, I'll leave my coat on. It's not
Speaker 1: a problem. So we go outside. And my guess is
Speaker 1: what used to be part of the New York City
Speaker 1: street the vibe they built around this. So our table
Speaker 1: is I want to say, about a foot. It's a
Speaker 1: table for two maybe eight to ten inches away from
Speaker 1: a four three and a half to four ft high.
Speaker 1: It's slanted at the top, giant boulder coming out of
Speaker 1: the sidewalk. Now the shock is built on the sidewalk
Speaker 1: outside the restaurant. And they must have built the restaurant
Speaker 1: and made it like like, oh, let's put this giant
Speaker 1: rock in the street and make it look cool. So
Speaker 1: we're sitting next to a slant the giant boulder. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: My wife against this to me, don't just leave it.
Speaker 1: Just let's just enjoy the dinner. Okay. As people are
Speaker 1: walking by, I'm getting bumped into because the tables are
Speaker 1: so close so the way. So the hostess comes The
Speaker 1: hostess comes by and says, I'm so sorry it seems
Speaker 1: to be a little crowded here in the walkway. Can
Speaker 1: you please move your table over a little bit? Do
Speaker 1: you know? The only way I can move the table
Speaker 1: scary closer to the rock. So now I'm I'm four
Speaker 1: inches away from the boulder, and my elbow, my left
Speaker 1: elbow is hitting the boulder. If I try to like
Speaker 1: turn to like cut steak or whatever you're dining experience
Speaker 1: is ruined by a said boulder a boulder. So now
Speaker 1: the boulder is slanted. So know it's tapp as. So
Speaker 1: tapp as if you don't know, is when you order
Speaker 1: small plates of a bunch of different things. That's my
Speaker 1: favorite way of eating. By the way, Yeah, my wife
Speaker 1: and I agree on everything. We order four or five things,
Speaker 1: and our little table for two is running out of room.
Speaker 1: So I start putting the plates on top of the boulder,
Speaker 1: as almost as if to point out the fact that
Speaker 1: what the funk we have no space left. Yes, but
Speaker 1: because that's a hell of a good idea to use
Speaker 1: the flat top boulder as my extension. Now i've my extender,
Speaker 1: so or the table extension. I've got three plates now
Speaker 1: from from high to low on the slant, stacked on
Speaker 1: the boulder, stacked on the like. Yeah. And so the
Speaker 1: waiter comes over and he says, sir, I'm not um,
Speaker 1: We're not really we don't really puts on the boulder,
Speaker 1: so I said, I said, Um, I said Rick, Rick
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? I said Rick, Um, I don't have
Speaker 1: any room on the table. You're making me sitting next
Speaker 1: to a boulder. If you don't mind, I'm going to
Speaker 1: use the boulder to my advantage to make this a
Speaker 1: better situation. Otherwise you can find me a four top
Speaker 1: inside where it's warm. And he said, fair point. Enjoy
Speaker 1: your exactly what we're not gonna uh right now? Of course,
Speaker 1: I mean they should have shat you inside. Fuck that noise, bro, Absolutely,
Speaker 1: But again, my wife and I around for a nice evening.
Speaker 1: She's like that, don't Applebee's the situation just you know. Um.
Speaker 1: So then we walked to the theater and we walk by.
Speaker 1: As we're walking it's on forty Street in Midtown. We
Speaker 1: walk by the Jimmy Buffett Margharita Hotel. Oh again and
Speaker 1: Margarita right, She says, Oh, I've read about that. I said,
Speaker 1: so have I? She said. All the rooms are really cool.
Speaker 1: They have like five bars and restaurants and everything. She says,
Speaker 1: you know, Tuesday, we're going out to see Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: If was time we should come back there. So I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, sure, well I'm on vacation, let's do that.
Speaker 1: So we continue and we go see a different play
Speaker 1: because it's Saturday. Again, we're not it's not Tuesday, it's Saturday.
Speaker 1: And we go to see a play called Take Me Out.
Speaker 1: Yes have you heard about this play? Um? Yes, I've
Speaker 1: heard about this play, But why don't you explain it
Speaker 1: to the So I'm gonna go and reverse order. Take
Speaker 1: Me Out is maybe the best play I've seen in
Speaker 1: ten years. It was funny, unbelievably, by the way, maybe
Speaker 1: that should have been the punch line, No, the punch
Speaker 1: lines coming um about to say, yeah, yeah, uh it was.
Speaker 1: It was it's about baseball, among other things. Fantastic play,
Speaker 1: fantastic And what I liked was the actors honestly looked
Speaker 1: like they've played baseball, like like, excuse me, like it
Speaker 1: wasn't actors who like just learned how to throw a
Speaker 1: baseball and they look awkward. They looked built for baseball.
Speaker 1: They all looked like even as a Japanese actor in
Speaker 1: the play, he looked like a Japanese pitcher, like as
Speaker 1: far as his motions, because if you're a baseball fan,
Speaker 1: you know the Japanese pitchers have a different style of pitching,
Speaker 1: the way they move their leg in their arm. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they all looked legit. I was very impressed by that.
Speaker 1: So the stars of the show is which is one
Speaker 1: of the reasons we wanted to go Jesse Williams from
Speaker 1: Grey's Anatomy, very good looking man place Derek Jeter type
Speaker 1: ballplayer in terms of being from a mixed race and
Speaker 1: how he's a superstar, can do no wrong. Media Darling
Speaker 1: Patrick J Adams, who was in the TV show Suits,
Speaker 1: who was the love interest of Megan Markel, your Princess,
Speaker 1: Megan Marco on the show suits and Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Speaker 1: three stars of the show. And I love them all.
Speaker 1: So we go right Helen Hayes Theater, very small theater,
Speaker 1: very small theater on Broadway. Not a bad seat in
Speaker 1: the house. We're sitting seventh row. We had really good seats.
Speaker 1: So here's what the play is about. And I'm not
Speaker 1: spoiling anything. I got told this before I went by
Speaker 1: Jody are are beautiful saleswoman who had seen the show beforehand,
Speaker 1: knew I was going. And they take your phone when
Speaker 1: you go in. They put your phone in a case,
Speaker 1: in a lock case, one of those pouches, right, they
Speaker 1: give it to you, but it's in a lock pouch.
Speaker 1: The show is about a baseball player who comes out
Speaker 1: as gay, and in the course of the show there
Speaker 1: are two scenes of full on male nudity. Now it's
Speaker 1: not gratuitous. It makes sense in the play right by
Speaker 1: the way slices. Let's let's let's underscore the fact and
Speaker 1: remember that Brodie is watching live people on my wife
Speaker 1: with his wife. My wife. This is not He's not
Speaker 1: a screen. You're watching live physical actors seven rows away
Speaker 1: from you, and again I'm gonna say it's a fantastic
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. So this one scene, not spoiling anything,
Speaker 1: where you see one guy naked and he's talking to
Speaker 1: Patrick J. Adams who's dressed in the in the locker room,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, all right, okay, alright, there, okay,
Speaker 1: this I got through it. I was like, right, I'm good,
Speaker 1: all right, we got all right, okay, all right. Then
Speaker 1: later in the show there's a there's a scene where
Speaker 1: from the ceiling shower heads and like shower knobs and
Speaker 1: amazing stage scenery come down and I think nine the
Speaker 1: whole team come out naked and shower on the scene
Speaker 1: and on the stage as part of the plot, they're
Speaker 1: having a conversation that's very important and it's important to
Speaker 1: the story that they're naked. Here's what I will tell you, men,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a potpourri of varieties on
Speaker 1: the stage. Penis mas sure, penis. It's a penis potpourri.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of guys on the stage on the
Speaker 1: right side who are not a threat to me. There's
Speaker 1: Patrick J. Adams. I'm not gonna comment but he's naked.
Speaker 1: Now I've I've watched him on suits for like six
Speaker 1: seven seasons. I'm a fan. Scary. It's very weird when
Speaker 1: you see an actor naked, But it's weirder when you
Speaker 1: see an actor that you know, because you feel like
Speaker 1: he's like your friend. You're live and they're live in person,
Speaker 1: and they're and they're lathering up and they're soaping up.
Speaker 1: And again, I want to point out, it's a fantastic play.
Speaker 1: Don't don't let don't don't be throwing. It's not it's
Speaker 1: not gratuitous nudity for it. And then and then and
Speaker 1: then I'm not gonna tell you who, but there's an
Speaker 1: actor in the play who um. He's got some big
Speaker 1: deal energy, big deal energy, and he's on the left
Speaker 1: side of the stage. So I am trying to get
Speaker 1: my wife to focus on the like pointing to the
Speaker 1: guys at the right. Look at those guys are great actors.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to desperately to get my wife's attention to
Speaker 1: look to the right. She's looking to the left. The
Speaker 1: dialogue is coming from the center, so I'm like trying
Speaker 1: to go like, so I'm doing whatever. And so it
Speaker 1: was funny for us. We joked about it. It's cool,
Speaker 1: but uh, did you see anything up there? She liked.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say hopefully not because that would have been,
Speaker 1: let me tell you scary. I'm a more to the
Speaker 1: right side of the stage guy, so I'm center right,
Speaker 1: like you're speaking, not politically speaking, but in this particular
Speaker 1: case on the stage, i am center right right. You're
Speaker 1: not stage left life. I'm like, yeah, Patrick Adams, you're
Speaker 1: my boy. Uh, you know so, Uh, that's all I'll say.
Speaker 1: It was. It's a great show. It's no, it's a
Speaker 1: limited run show. It's only running to like I think
Speaker 1: the middle of June. But but how did it make
Speaker 1: you feel being there with all the peam I mean,
Speaker 1: you have you know what after after? Well, you know what,
Speaker 1: it was a good thing that the clubhouse seen with
Speaker 1: the one guy happened first, because then you're like, all right,
Speaker 1: it breaks the ice, it breaks the ice, so these things,
Speaker 1: oh the guy on the left could. But it really
Speaker 1: is a good show. And you don't, you don't you're
Speaker 1: not thinking about it because the dialogue is so important
Speaker 1: at that moment, and there's a reason why it's important
Speaker 1: that you're watching a scene that it's it's it's really
Speaker 1: well done. It was on Broadway like ten twelve years ago,
Speaker 1: and it's back and it's not gonna be running very long.
Speaker 1: I would go if you could. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Okay that maybe don't take your wife. And then we went.
Speaker 1: We went out for drinks after Harry Potter when my
Speaker 1: wife said, let's do that we have some pean coladas
Speaker 1: after that. No, but you know what, we ha ha,
Speaker 1: We did go out. My wife says to me after
Speaker 1: after the show, she goes, you know what, we should
Speaker 1: go out for a drink or something. Because we're having
Speaker 1: a great night. She's why don't we go to Carmines,
Speaker 1: my favorite restaurant that we've talked about. So we went
Speaker 1: to Carmines for a drink. I never said at the
Speaker 1: bar before. And we sit at the bar and the
Speaker 1: and the and the bartender's name is Melissa Yea and
Speaker 1: I said, okay, so very friendly. And she says, oh,
Speaker 1: welcome to Carmines. Have ever been here before? I said? Have?
Speaker 1: I haven't been? Have I have a been here before?
Speaker 1: I've probably been here more than you and you work here.
Speaker 1: She says, oh, can I interest anything I said, no,
Speaker 1: we already had dinner, we just saw a show. We're
Speaker 1: just here for a couple of drinks. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't drink much. So I had one corona. I
Speaker 1: milk it, and she says, well, you gotta have something.
Speaker 1: I said, what are your favorites? So I tell what
Speaker 1: my favorites are. I said, but yeah, it's killing me.
Speaker 1: So my my wife says, it's got to be killing you.
Speaker 1: You're you're sitting in carmines and you're not ordering food.
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, but we ate already. I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't do that. So the people next to us
Speaker 1: have penny alovodka, geoking palm. By the way, why would
Speaker 1: you torture yourself that way? I would just go right
Speaker 1: into a bar. And why would you go into because
Speaker 1: because we wanted to see our friend Glenn with with
Speaker 1: the garage right across the street. Texted like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: come out of the restaurant, say hello, give me a hug,
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna go to the bar next door
Speaker 1: from now. Yeah, you know, anyway, so would you have
Speaker 1: My wife had two drinks. I had the one, and
Speaker 1: while we're drinking the first round, I'm schmoozing with the
Speaker 1: people next to us. A new set of people have
Speaker 1: sat down and they're like, oh, we don't know what
Speaker 1: to order. So I'm telling them all the good things.
Speaker 1: Try the spadhini, Like what spadini, gotta have the big clams.
Speaker 1: I'm giving them all the how you're you're getting excited.
Speaker 1: You're like me, you get excited the fact that even
Speaker 1: though you're not gonna eat the food, you you know food.
Speaker 1: So you're the woman. The people next to me from
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I'm talking them into buying stuff. So the
Speaker 1: waitress sees that I'm up selling for horror, right, she
Speaker 1: comes out with a plate with a little bit of
Speaker 1: caesar salad, a little bit of chicken palm, and one meatball.
Speaker 1: Now they that call us his family style. It's massive
Speaker 1: plates of She brought me my own for me and
Speaker 1: my wife to share our own personal sampling of my
Speaker 1: favorite things on the arm. By the way, courtesy of
Speaker 1: of of Cammine. How so, I just want to say
Speaker 1: that was my vacation. It was. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: what was it a sausage? Different? It was it a
Speaker 1: sausage and meatballs? No? But here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The people next to us had just seen a different
Speaker 1: Broadway show, I think Birthday Candles and like, oh what
Speaker 1: did you say? We're like, ohways, so take me out
Speaker 1: and so they go, well, what's that about? So my
Speaker 1: wife is like, I'll tell you what it's about. I
Speaker 1: don't know, you will not. So one of the things
Speaker 1: that I did, uh it was, was going to Miami
Speaker 1: and I don't want to bore you with you know,
Speaker 1: thee on Instagram, the boogie scary stuff. But there was
Speaker 1: one I had a little awkward moment and it involved
Speaker 1: some Peene as I mean, is that non Broadway? Is
Speaker 1: that the theme of a common running theme for this show?
Speaker 1: The Peene is the Peene episode? Uh so alright, So
Speaker 1: so I went to this restaurant, sexy Fish, not a client,
Speaker 1: very very fancy, high vaulted, bougie we we do. They
Speaker 1: have crazy rest you know, it's beautiful, but it's also
Speaker 1: very instagram for the jet said crowds. My father would say, no,
Speaker 1: but it's very Instagram. But it's very sexy and women
Speaker 1: always want to go there to to like do stories,
Speaker 1: and you know they then want to be there when
Speaker 1: you want to. The cocktail list is a mile long,
Speaker 1: and it's all colorful stuff, and it was know, it's
Speaker 1: very everything is for Instagram. So one of the one
Speaker 1: of the coolest things about this is uh is the
Speaker 1: men's room and the women's room. Apparently they're They're like,
Speaker 1: you gotta see it, so if you see the women's room.
Speaker 1: I did not. I did not say, because we weren't
Speaker 1: with any women and we were with just the guys.
Speaker 1: But I walked in. I wanted walked into go take
Speaker 1: a piss. And the second I walk into the men's room,
Speaker 1: there's a urinal right there in your face. As soon
Speaker 1: as you like turn the corner right into the second
Speaker 1: you go, boom into the room, there's a guy taking
Speaker 1: a piss at a urinal and he's staring at me
Speaker 1: right in the face. I'm like, the funk is this
Speaker 1: guy staring at He's staring and and then I walked
Speaker 1: past him to the urinal at the far end of
Speaker 1: the of the of the bathroom. So I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: and I'm doing my business. But the guy wouldn't stop
Speaker 1: staring at he like it was like he was frozen.
Speaker 1: He was staring at the door. I'm like, why is
Speaker 1: this fucking guy staring at the door. As luck would
Speaker 1: have it, I'm sitting there like, that's not a real person,
Speaker 1: that's a fucking that's just a wax figure of a person.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what the fund couldn't tell? It was
Speaker 1: so lifelike Brodie. Then I find then I look at
Speaker 1: a look closer, it's double double O seven. It's James Bond.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, Sexy Sexy Fish is a London based
Speaker 1: restaurant anyway, So the way it is is all the
Speaker 1: urinals are lined up, and the urinal at closest to
Speaker 1: the door as soon as you walk in is James Bond,
Speaker 1: Madame Tussau's style wax life size wax figure taking a
Speaker 1: piss and and staring at the door. That's why he
Speaker 1: was frozen. And I'm like, I really thought some asshole
Speaker 1: was staring at me. And then he wouldn't move his
Speaker 1: head when I walked to the other end of the room,
Speaker 1: like he's still staring at the door. But I find
Speaker 1: out it's a wax figure of James Bond. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he literally has his two hands over his his
Speaker 1: crotch and he's missing into the urinal and he's standing
Speaker 1: over a physical urinal that looks I sure did a
Speaker 1: double O seven but it was a double O seven inches. No, No,
Speaker 1: he didn't have I didn't have a dick all okay,
Speaker 1: because I was wondering if he was more left stage
Speaker 1: or right stage right right right. But it's so. But
Speaker 1: here's the awkward part. There were actually two actual human
Speaker 1: men in in the bathroom with me at the time
Speaker 1: and other stalls. But I'm like, you know me, I'm
Speaker 1: itching for the Graham. I'm like, I gotta get this
Speaker 1: on the Gram. I gotta get the cocaine in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta get this Graham on the Gram.
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta get this video of James Bond
Speaker 1: a wax figure. It's just too funny. These are the
Speaker 1: kinds of moments I live for on Instagram story, right,
Speaker 1: I gotta video tape this. I gotta get it on
Speaker 1: my But how do you do it in a men's
Speaker 1: room like that? I mean, is it awkward? Is it weird?
Speaker 1: I mean, am I I'm filming, I'm in the men's room.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever done that in my life,
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can't be creepy about it. Otherwise, people them. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. There are two other guys in the room.
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there, like you don't want to wash
Speaker 1: my hands? When to wait for these two guys to
Speaker 1: leave so I could get the video of James Bond
Speaker 1: taking a piss. I gotta get this guy on tape.
Speaker 1: It's hysterical. I mean, it's the wax guy, the wax
Speaker 1: guy who's waxing off at the time. All right, So
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I'm washing my hands, and one
Speaker 1: guy leaves, and then the other guy leaves, and now
Speaker 1: I'm drying my hands and as I'm as I'm about
Speaker 1: to take up my phone about to whip it out,
Speaker 1: not pun intended, another dude walks into the bathroom and
Speaker 1: goes to take a piss. I'm like, fuck. And I
Speaker 1: almost wanted to be like, hey, buddy, I'm not filming.
Speaker 1: You don't be all weird. But I want to get
Speaker 1: this James Bond. I want to walk through the bathroom
Speaker 1: because it's so beautiful and I want to I want
Speaker 1: to focus in on the James Bond wax figure standing
Speaker 1: on the ud all at the end. Brody. It took
Speaker 1: me about five or ten minutes to do it because
Speaker 1: I kept walking down. I I'm just gonna go into
Speaker 1: a stall, locked the door, but then I'm taking a
Speaker 1: ship and then wait for everyone to get to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: and then when the coast is clear, I'll come out again.
Speaker 1: It wasn't happening. Was not happening, I said, So I
Speaker 1: made a disclaimer to the dude, I said, the one
Speaker 1: dude that was there, and I said, hey, man, I'm
Speaker 1: not getting you on on camera, but could you imagine
Speaker 1: how awkward and weird it was? I mean, who takes
Speaker 1: footage of the bathroom you know, of of of of
Speaker 1: a men's whom I don't think I've ever filmed in
Speaker 1: the men's room before. Like I listen, I needs you
Speaker 1: to be more sure of that. By the way, I
Speaker 1: need you to it's definitively know that you haven't. Oh
Speaker 1: I haven't. You're like, no, You're like, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: I have. I mean I could have it. I haven't.
Speaker 1: But but it's weird because it's something that's so it's
Speaker 1: so hilarious, and it's it's a work of art and
Speaker 1: it's meant to be Instagram, but it's an awkward place
Speaker 1: to instagram. So it's very tricky. Yeah, alright, Well I
Speaker 1: had an awkward heurinal moment as well, because what I
Speaker 1: didn't tell you as my vacation and story was I
Speaker 1: went to the New York Mets opening day on Friday,
Speaker 1: and I had an awkward urinal moment. So I well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I did get to sit down behind

Speaker 1: So that's really cool. Thank you so much for the
Speaker 1: shout out. Um, hey, anytime you could tell your friends
Speaker 1: about this podcast. You know a lot of people are reluctant.
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen people on The Big Show text
Speaker 1: messaging system that's say that we The Big Show goes
Speaker 1: on vacation, they catch up on The Big Show and
Speaker 1: in over and over again. There's an old episodes that
Speaker 1: they've heard before, which is cool, but why not try
Speaker 1: to tell you those people, Well, they're not hearing this message,
Speaker 1: but they tell your friends. Who do that? Tell your
Speaker 1: friends thinging the Big Show? Right? No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They listened to The Big Show when it's on in
Speaker 1: the morning, but during the day rather than listen to
Speaker 1: episodes you heard before, we check out the prom podcast
Speaker 1: and of course you know it's Serial Killers and the
Speaker 1: other ones. Of course, you know, yeah, of course, and
Speaker 1: we gotta have a whole range of podcasts now. But
Speaker 1: for instance, when we go on vacation in the end
Speaker 1: of June beginning of July, when the morning shows off
Speaker 1: a two weeks, what a great opportunity to have your
Speaker 1: friends and family and all your followers on social media
Speaker 1: listen to the Brooklyn Boys podcast exactly. So anyway, this
Speaker 1: is a self serving moment for us. We are not
Speaker 1: sponsors of our own podcast. We don't, but I guess
Speaker 1: we are. We're endorses it. We are endorses of our
Speaker 1: own podcast. But but we we want to leave reviews.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Apple and you you know, start
Speaker 1: leaving those podcast reviews, you know, and and just maybe
Speaker 1: listen to maybe experience the podcast if you haven't done
Speaker 1: it on Spotify or by the way, other means get getting.
Speaker 1: We are number seventy six in the comedy category in
Speaker 1: Indonesia on Apple Podcasts checking us that number with down
Speaker 1: fifteen slots, by the way, very upset down fifteen slots
Speaker 1: in Cyprus were down to fifty seven in Kuwait kuwait
Speaker 1: for it. We're one thirty five and in South Korea
Speaker 1: one seventy two, and I think we're the soul comedy
Speaker 1: podcast there. Uh not intended defending you. I was defending you.
Speaker 1: You want to hear it, yep, I defended Okay, So
Speaker 1: Scary got crap on the on the Big Show on
Speaker 1: the Air because he partially took credit for something that
Speaker 1: producer Sam did. And Scary said, well, I asked her
Speaker 1: to do it, she did it. We as a team
Speaker 1: got it done. So I said, we found this old
Speaker 1: phone tap. In essence, it was Sam. We found it.
Speaker 1: But Scary was like, hey, our phone tap department, we
Speaker 1: found it, right, And so this person texted in defending
Speaker 1: Scary and said, well, hey, back in two thousand nine,
Speaker 1: when the phone tap was from Sam, wasn't even part
Speaker 1: of the show. Scary put that phone tap together back then,
Speaker 1: so if it wasn't him, there would be no phone
Speaker 1: tap to be found. Scary deserves full credit, which is hysterical.
Speaker 1: But so I said, well, if you're gonna play that game,
Speaker 1: Nicole A Tesla invented radio, so he gets credit. And
Speaker 1: Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone for the phone tap
Speaker 1: so he gets credit. I mean, how far back do
Speaker 1: you want to go? That's a whole comment. We should
Speaker 1: actually have that. I feel like we should have Sam
Speaker 1: on our podcast next week, And because I really wanted
Speaker 1: to explore that topic, because I do think it's a
Speaker 1: generational thing and not a sexist. You did it to
Speaker 1: me many times, and I used to get upset. You
Speaker 1: co produced. Yes, well, you and I used to be
Speaker 1: the call executive producers of the show, right, just us
Speaker 1: back in the day. It's always weak. We we wait,
Speaker 1: there's no there's no, there's no Iron Team. Brodie, I
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, I would say, scary. When Elvis comes
Speaker 1: back in the studio, I'm gonna suggest we talk about
Speaker 1: chicken palm or whatever. And Elvis would walk in and
Speaker 1: he go, Helvius, let's talk about chicken parm and you go, great,
Speaker 1: idea scary and you wouldn't go thanks. It was the
Speaker 1: two of us, you just go yeah. We wanted to
Speaker 1: let everyone know that the reason why we're cutting this
Speaker 1: podcast short is because we've been having connectivity issues all
Speaker 1: afternoon for some reason. This our system that connects Brody
Speaker 1: and I uh is literally Brody and me is it's in,
Speaker 1: it's out, it's in, it's out, it's it's it's like
Speaker 1: sex almost but uh or that burger place in uh
Speaker 1: in in in California. But we were having difficulty staying together,
Speaker 1: and we we have to actually have this looked at
Speaker 1: because it could be a problem for the future. So
Speaker 1: it's not scary seven point nine million dollar equipment this time.
Speaker 1: And it's not Brodie's cheap as fucking microphone because as
Speaker 1: you can hear, there's no echo right now, which no echo,
Speaker 1: but we have this, we have this terrible latency and
Speaker 1: and and Brodie keeps dropping out and more often than
Speaker 1: you know. So we said, go get your sticker sheets
Speaker 1: by two items. Get a sticker sheet free by three
Speaker 1: sticker sheets for a discount of price. Go have you
Speaker 1: self a ball. We'll see you, guys, will hear you, guys,
