Speaker 1: out the video of her singing this song right now
Speaker 1: at dot com. It's bad at love on Why What's that?
Speaker 1: I mean, What's wrong with that? That's the way. First
Speaker 1: of all, in my headphones, I was hearing music, so
Speaker 1: I was feeling the music. So the music was feeling love. No,
Speaker 1: but when if if I'm talking and there's Shakira says love.
Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm talking and there's music in the background,
Speaker 1: You're swimming in it. You're swimming in the music. You
Speaker 1: see it kind of like dancing. If you don't mind
Speaker 1: me saying, so, you was sinking in the music? You
Speaker 1: pretty much? I was. I was doing the doggy paths.
Speaker 1: You have a thing for Halsey, No, it's more of

Speaker 1: I love her voice. I love the way she sings.
Speaker 1: She love pretty, look at a hot girl like love
Speaker 1: all words, Oh she's pretty. I would recite those words
Speaker 1: all over the place. It's not it was not in

Speaker 1: So we've got plenty of social media and um, where
Speaker 1: are we on with that? I had something, I was
Speaker 1: nothing I was I was ready to First of all,
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how your holidays are shaping up?
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing for the vacation we
Speaker 1: do have? So if you don't realize this, we have
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks off. I mean, we're not coming
Speaker 1: back in the studio until January eight. Today is the
Speaker 1: last day or tomorrow's the last. So we're doing this
Speaker 1: podcast for this week, and we know that we didn't
Speaker 1: do a podcast last weekend, right, And I wanted, by
Speaker 1: the way, that's what I wanted to get into, so
Speaker 1: did I because on social media people were very upset. Well,
Speaker 1: I kind of brought this up, and I really think
Speaker 1: we should follow through, you know, in the great honor
Speaker 1: of you doing your rants and in the in the
Speaker 1: tradition tradition of public service, of great customer service. Brody
Speaker 1: tells you, you know, you know the deal. He's gonna
Speaker 1: his future book. It's going to be even as not
Speaker 1: even meeting you burned my steak, right you and the
Speaker 1: steak comes a lout later that's we're not even I
Speaker 1: need free dessert. So I feel like we kind of
Speaker 1: fucked everybody over by not giving him a podcast last week.
Speaker 1: So you can't even as not even in this case,
Speaker 1: but almost Ballsy went on Twitter and said, if we
Speaker 1: don't do that was me speaking under under the boys,
Speaker 1: you know say, you know you know it was me
Speaker 1: because I put my name and you and you slammed
Speaker 1: me a little bit. You said, if we didn't do
Speaker 1: a podcast, today as we're as we're speaking that I
Speaker 1: owed the listeners steak dinners and free desserts right right,
Speaker 1: because somehow, somehow, though, if you and I both don't
Speaker 1: do a podcast, I owe everybody because it would have
Speaker 1: been on you because I was ready to go. I
Speaker 1: was ready to go to okay go, So we're both ready.
Speaker 1: So we agreed. Hold on a second, we agreed that
Speaker 1: the steak dinner was. Now you know, we we gave
Speaker 1: you the steak. The problem is we didn't give you
Speaker 1: a podcast last week. So that's why I so, why
Speaker 1: don't we do a podcast tomorrow? But I don't even
Speaker 1: think we call it that. I just think we call
Speaker 1: it free to No, no, no, we call it well,
Speaker 1: that'll be the name of the episode, episode twenty two,
Speaker 1: Free Dessert. But it'll but it's still gonna be a
Speaker 1: week from now that we release it, so that people
Speaker 1: have something to look forward to. This is true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna just gonna blow our wad in one day.
Speaker 1: By the way, I want you all to sn't I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna follow up By the way, speaking of
Speaker 1: blowing no no no, no, no, no no no. Now,
Speaker 1: you guys can hit the the You can drag the
Speaker 1: little uh scroller thing at the bottom of the podcast
Speaker 1: and you can scroll and go back about about five
Speaker 1: minutes when I said we didn't do a podcast because
Speaker 1: I was sick. We were sick, we were and we're
Speaker 1: sick and scary said a burg King appearance. Hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, two things. Play the jingle. Play the jingle.
Speaker 1: You said you had a burger King appearance. Hit it
Speaker 1: because we're in the studio. You pushed the buttons. Now, man,
Speaker 1: why is this so difficult? Right? Little commercial slipping? Okay,
Speaker 1: you could have just said you could have just said
Speaker 1: you had an appearance, but I was sick and I
Speaker 1: had an appearance. I went to my appearance half and
Speaker 1: then and then when I said, why we didn't a
Speaker 1: podcast the next day? Uh this week? Yesterday? When I
Speaker 1: said we will do it yesterday, I said, Geezy was
Speaker 1: here and I covered for us, which was the truth.
Speaker 1: But you said, well, actually I had a Burgking appearance,
Speaker 1: which Roy Rodgers. Right. Sorry, Okay, play the other jingle
Speaker 1: next time, because I'm sure you'll get that one too.
Speaker 1: So you have a Roy Rodgers appearance. I'm sorry, no
Speaker 1: offense to I love Roy Rodgers by the way the
Speaker 1: Fixens Bar. If you don't know what roy Rogers is it,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's used to be a national chain and
Speaker 1: now it's scattered. But they're growing again. They're kind of
Speaker 1: rebirth like a phoenix. They pretty much they downsized and
Speaker 1: now they're coming back up right. One of the first
Speaker 1: companies to have a bacon cheeseburger. But here's what I
Speaker 1: love about them. And they have double all Barburger, not
Speaker 1: not I don't get paid by them. That's scary hashtag
Speaker 1: you can you get your burger right, and they don't
Speaker 1: put a lot of crap on it, which is why
Speaker 1: I love them. They don't put crap on it. They
Speaker 1: gave you the burger yeah, which relax where cheese and
Speaker 1: bacon or ham like put hamm on a hamburger. The
Speaker 1: double ar Barburger. Love it well, the golden something the
Speaker 1: chicken with the golden sauce and its friend right. But
Speaker 1: then no, you don't have to say no pickle. It's like,
Speaker 1: none of that crap because it's all You go to
Speaker 1: the Fixens Bar and you put the lead. I put
Speaker 1: like forty pieces of tomato. I love tomato, and it's
Speaker 1: all you can eat tomato. I just pile on a
Speaker 1: tomato in the rapper. I just keep going with tomato.
Speaker 1: Love Roy Rogers. So if you have a chance you're
Speaker 1: in the New Jersey area, New York area, stop Rogers. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: And but anyway, my point was, you can yell at
Speaker 1: scary because I legitimately couldn't do the podcast. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: an appearance. No wait a second, I could have done
Speaker 1: the appearance yesterday. I chose. You chose could have done
Speaker 1: the podcast. Yeah, you couldn't know, but but you had
Speaker 1: other things going on earlier than just But that's what
Speaker 1: we do here. Oh, I have I have sponsorship news, okay,
Speaker 1: you have, and I have guests. Okay, so hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm not finishing. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: a whole lot of second. I want to finish on
Speaker 1: Roy Rogers. I want to say something about what happened.
Speaker 1: Has no no hit the other one. I have to
Speaker 1: use the name during the sake of this, for the
Speaker 1: sake of the conversation I can refer to is that
Speaker 1: place because we've already stablished that place. You were there
Speaker 1: at that place, So I was there at that place,
Speaker 1: all right, And this is a little bit of a scam.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is something that Brody
Speaker 1: would pick up on and do, but this is this
Speaker 1: is in the vein of something that Brody and Brody
Speaker 1: type people would do. And whoa, whoa, what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Brody type people that people that like people, people that
Speaker 1: like free shate. I don't like free. I like what
Speaker 1: I paid for. We did a contest yesterday and we
Speaker 1: did this the last time I did it at that
Speaker 1: place where every ten minutes I gave away one bill
Speaker 1: was in the form of I like the tomatoes more,
Speaker 1: but I right, but you like where I'm going with this?
Speaker 1: Every ten minutes for two hours straight a hundred bucks
Speaker 1: and the only rules that there were was you can't
Speaker 1: win twice, but it was one entry. It was one
Speaker 1: entry per person, was the rule. So we've been doing
Speaker 1: a series of these types of events where it was
Speaker 1: the same thing. Like last time it was a pair
Speaker 1: of concert tickets every ten minutes for two hours. So
Speaker 1: what do you think After the second appearance, people started
Speaker 1: doing well bringing family members bingo. So it's so much
Speaker 1: so that yesterday there was a family there who brought
Speaker 1: an extended family. There was one group of people that
Speaker 1: had like nine people with them between parents and kids.
Speaker 1: And now, yeah, they could have been their cousins or
Speaker 1: whatever the case. And that's fine. The point is when
Speaker 1: the rule. See that's why a lot of contests have
Speaker 1: you or anyone in your household can only win once
Speaker 1: my daughter is off at college and live with us
Speaker 1: anymore that you make that argument, But the thing is,
Speaker 1: people will find a way. People will find a way.
Speaker 1: So I was, I was at and again, so this
Speaker 1: is depends on your interpretation of when life begins. But
Speaker 1: I did. I did a when I was in retail.
Speaker 1: We had an event where it was one uh submission
Speaker 1: per person, and a woman came in and claimed that
Speaker 1: her almost nine month old fetus she was pregnant counted
Speaker 1: as a person. And so she played she's I already
Speaker 1: know the name, and she signed up for the baby.
Speaker 1: M I can't do it. Well, again, you need to
Speaker 1: physically see the It needs to be too human beings.
Speaker 1: I understand. But but the rules, the rules didn't The
Speaker 1: rules didn't say it didn't say I didn't say it
Speaker 1: said people. So there are people who believe they take you.
Speaker 1: And again, I don't want to debate it. I'm not
Speaker 1: giving my opinion on when the child went and when. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you know, look, if the baby comes out that minute,
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a person. It's a person. I've
Speaker 1: had three kids. I know. If a baby falls out
Speaker 1: on the floor of that place, right then you know
Speaker 1: what fill out about the you know what, I'll give
Speaker 1: you one for the placenta to what the hell? But
Speaker 1: but I mean so yeah, so you know people will
Speaker 1: look in like this family won three gift cards already,
Speaker 1: that's three day won. Well, it's not my problem. Next time,
Speaker 1: find from find some friends and ring them with you.
Speaker 1: If you don't have some family members. They were smart.
Speaker 1: The rule is there was no rule and each person
Speaker 1: is treated as an individual. So if you want to
Speaker 1: bring seventeen people and you want to sign a favor infant, fine,
Speaker 1: you can do it. You can win. There was there's
Speaker 1: an amusement park in New Jersey, which is it was
Speaker 1: many years ago called Action Park and now it's Action
Speaker 1: Park again, right, So they used to have a promotion
Speaker 1: where it was, um, is this the soda can promotion,
Speaker 1: that the soda cam promotion and the Perk shampoo promotion,
Speaker 1: and it was it was either one it was bring
Speaker 1: a perk plus shampoo bottle at one year and when
Speaker 1: it was a like a and and it was like
Speaker 1: the whole car gets in for fifty bucks. Everyone could
Speaker 1: constitutes the whole car. Well, everyone in the car gets.
Speaker 1: So if you have ten clowns in the Volkswagon of
Speaker 1: packing people in, so we will get We would we
Speaker 1: would drive up to Vernon Valley, New Jersey, with great
Speaker 1: gorge that area and we would park like a half
Speaker 1: a mile away on a dirt road in three cars.
Speaker 1: Two cars would park and the rest of us would
Speaker 1: jump in the trunk. We would lay on top of
Speaker 1: each other in the back seat. There was eleven Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: Jamaica is in the car. Twelve maybe at one point
Speaker 1: people hiding in the trunk. Yeah, we had people in
Speaker 1: the two guys were in the trunk and we pulled
Speaker 1: up in this old uh it was a buick, old
Speaker 1: buick and we got in like you know, twelve people
Speaker 1: said like four almost like a little four bucks apiece.
Speaker 1: Don't make rules, man, because you didn't say you don't
Speaker 1: say up to eight people. You know you're actually asking
Speaker 1: for our rules. Specific I'm saying, don't say the whole
Speaker 1: car gets into fifty bucks, so I can't of coke.
Speaker 1: So I found it. I found it fascinating that after
Speaker 1: the fourth be the person that lays across the other people.
Speaker 1: Don't be the person in the seat, like, don't be
Speaker 1: like I want a seat, because then they pile on
Speaker 1: top of you, and be the person on that rides Bitch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody rode Bitch and twelve of us we had we
Speaker 1: called it the hump. The hump is the middle seat,
Speaker 1: and all the middle seat well the old cause it's
Speaker 1: not really a seat because it's a bench across the back,
Speaker 1: and you know what, it's not fully padded in the
Speaker 1: middle because it's not meant to be a seat. But
Speaker 1: I always used to ride Bitch. I always because we
Speaker 1: had the game. The rules of the rules of now
Speaker 1: old school older cars. The back of the back sheet
Speaker 1: was one straight bench, so anyway you sat on it
Speaker 1: was the same, except you had the hump in the
Speaker 1: on the floor and you had to put one leg
Speaker 1: on each. Still some cars that are made, yeah, but
Speaker 1: my car the back seat because they want the normal
Speaker 1: two passengers in the back to be comfortable. Those two
Speaker 1: seats are contoured where like the cushioning goes up on
Speaker 1: both sides of your ass, so like you sit like
Speaker 1: in a seat, it caught, it cradles your ass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the middle seat now is mega bitch because you've
Speaker 1: got an armrest that back in the day, cause didn't
Speaker 1: have arm rest back in the back in the day.
Speaker 1: Now there's an armrest like so like you have that
Speaker 1: like both sides of the armrest have the crack right
Speaker 1: so that it can fall down. Each cheek is hanging
Speaker 1: off the left and the right side. And then you
Speaker 1: you're kind of stuck in the middle right, and you've
Speaker 1: got the other two people in like coushy comfort, you've
Speaker 1: got the hup. So you're like you're like uber bitch.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean like the Cooper ubera. You're like
Speaker 1: super bitch because you're like you're ft by your feet,
Speaker 1: you're at by your button, you're aft in your back
Speaker 1: and and so like what do you do? You want
Speaker 1: to put your feet up on the armrest in the front,
Speaker 1: but then the drivers like, hey, moving your freaking feet
Speaker 1: off the car. I don't want your feet when I'm
Speaker 1: driving your feet are up there, and then put my
Speaker 1: feet hurt. I don't care you lost, You're sitting bitch. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: new cars are not designed like SIT's five comfortably, bullshit,
Speaker 1: it seats four comfortably. And the new Beauta Colantra, it's
Speaker 1: seats four. They can't advertise that anymore because unless there's
Speaker 1: a seat belt there for that middle seat. There's a
Speaker 1: seat belt, you know, but it but it comes from
Speaker 1: the roof, you know, like it, or it comes from
Speaker 1: behind the seat because there's no good place to put it.
Speaker 1: That's that is not good. That's not living. But anyway,
Speaker 1: h so what we're saying, but how did I go on?
Speaker 1: This time? We were talking about how we didn't do
Speaker 1: a podcast and the feedback we got from our listeners
Speaker 1: who really missed the podcast. So some of them were
Speaker 1: like pseudo angry. A lot of them wanted free dessert. Right,
Speaker 1: so let me let me back all the way up.
Speaker 1: I think that we give them free dessert tomorrow. That
Speaker 1: that's really the moral of that that story. All right,
Speaker 1: are you cool with that? Um? Yeah, yeah, I'll do that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But it was like, yeah, we can deliver another podcast tomorrow. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, but don't but don't don't do it like

Speaker 1: but you did it and I called you on it.
Speaker 1: You didn't even realize you're brody ranting. Okay, then you
Speaker 1: have to call me out on't even know which one
Speaker 1: it was. I'm gonna write it down right now, but
Speaker 1: I will do the rant again here. Doesn't start with you, though,
Speaker 1: Go ahead, all right, Well are we writing all this down?
Speaker 1: Because I got it, we're getting ourselves more and more
Speaker 1: into her tails. Go ahead, you do your your complaint
Speaker 1: and we're gonna bring Bethany in our persons. Not a keypok.
Speaker 1: It's not a complaint. It's it's actually something I'm gonna
Speaker 1: need help with because I actually got I bought a
Speaker 1: TV for my girlfriend a couple of years ago, not
Speaker 1: two years ago. Beautiful flat panel TV. And they're all
Speaker 1: flat panel. I know they're all flat panel. It's just
Speaker 1: a t V, all right, and it right what happens
Speaker 1: after it goes out of its about a year and
Speaker 1: about right after its warranty is over six months later,
Speaker 1: the thing ships the bed. The TV doesn't turn on,
Speaker 1: and then we realize if you jiggle the cable a
Speaker 1: little bit, we think it might be the power supply
Speaker 1: is nothing, because the TV actually works, it works intermittently on, off, on.
Speaker 1: Now is this mounted on a wall where there would
Speaker 1: be no no, no, no, it's not it's it's actually freestanding.
Speaker 1: And this television is now well it's out of warranty.
Speaker 1: I called up the company. I said, guys, four months
Speaker 1: after this thousand dollar television goes out of warranty, this
Speaker 1: starts to happen. Well, we're sorry. You have to take
Speaker 1: it to an independent repair person or you know, pay
Speaker 1: the price. Now, I know the TV is not shot
Speaker 1: because it does turn on occasionally if you jiggle the
Speaker 1: wire and the right by the way jiggling the wire,
Speaker 1: it turns me on as well. But it all tiggled
Speaker 1: my wire. I go right, But you jiggle the wire
Speaker 1: on pretty much any apply acienswance it usually works. So
Speaker 1: it's not like it's it's something with the little like
Speaker 1: things on the screen, the led whatever the hell that
Speaker 1: that stuff is nothing with the motherboard. It's a freaking
Speaker 1: power supply problem. So I'm like, somebody just did something
Speaker 1: is not soldered properly on the inside and it's causing
Speaker 1: this to go on and off. Well, they're telling me
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna have to pay out a pocket for this.
Speaker 1: I think, did you? REGI is under two years old?
Speaker 1: Did you register the TV when you bought it? Did
Speaker 1: you register the purchase date and you received you know
Speaker 1: that card that comes with it, because nobody they throw
Speaker 1: the card right out. I did. So here's my question
Speaker 1: was part of that. Let's say the TV was eleven
Speaker 1: months old, right, it's under warranty. How would you approve that?
Speaker 1: Do you have a credit card, Billy, of any kind
Speaker 1: of proof of purchase? I do have proof of purice. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I paid for it on a credit card. I have
Speaker 1: the I have it right there, It's on my amix.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you something that happened away.
Speaker 1: I got something repaired, because is it is? It? Is
Speaker 1: it hopeless for me and people that are in situation.
Speaker 1: Remember the months you bought it. It was December, was
Speaker 1: for Christmas, okay, and then and then a Christmas passed
Speaker 1: after that, and then it happened in April, my motherfucker's
Speaker 1: four months later. The thing goes out of you bought
Speaker 1: it for yourself, right for my girlfriend? Okay, so it's
Speaker 1: at her house. Yeah. Well, the thing is I got
Speaker 1: a replacement TV, which I paid for because I felt bad,
Speaker 1: and that TV is now sitting on her apartment floor.
Speaker 1: And it's a great TV, it's a good condition and
Speaker 1: it's an extra TV. I'm so angry. I'm beside myself.
Speaker 1: Here's here's something that I did. I did it with
Speaker 1: um a hose reel. I did it with a barbecue grill,
Speaker 1: things out of warranty, and I did with a TV.
Speaker 1: Said you buy the TV in December, right, but you
Speaker 1: didn't give it or set it up for a few
Speaker 1: months until July. Yeah, so you've really only used the
Speaker 1: TV for like eleven months, and you know it's defective.
Speaker 1: You know you should stand by your product. I mean
Speaker 1: there's ways is ways. Look, if you get the right
Speaker 1: customer service person on the phone, you can handle it
Speaker 1: two ways. When you're asking for a favor because you're
Speaker 1: in the wrong. You can be extra nice, extra polite
Speaker 1: and say, look, I WoT the TV of my mom.
Speaker 1: She's you know, shut in, she don't get out much God,
Speaker 1: and you know she doesn't have the income to fix
Speaker 1: the television. Well this was this happened to my mother
Speaker 1: at one point. So I'm telling you, and if it's true,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna call and ask your mother how she's doing.
Speaker 1: And so you know you bought the TV by asking no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. But what I'm saying is you can. You
Speaker 1: can bear your soul and explain the situation. And a
Speaker 1: lot of times the customer service person will say, you
Speaker 1: know what, Mr Brodie, it is a little bit out
Speaker 1: of warranty. But I see a regular customer because you know,
Speaker 1: miss I buy, We'll call it Johnson TVs. Because I
Speaker 1: don't want to mention a brand name, right, So you
Speaker 1: know what, all the TVs in my house for Johnson TVs.
Speaker 1: I buy nothing but Johnson TVs. And I have the models,
Speaker 1: and I go. I have an x K forty seven.
Speaker 1: I have an x K thirty six. I have a
Speaker 1: U L forty five. I've been buying these Johnson TVs
Speaker 1: for eleven years. Everything I love, I love them. I
Speaker 1: get my friends to buy them. I'm very excited and
Speaker 1: happy with the brand. I've never had a problem. This
Speaker 1: one TV. I was shocked because you're Johnson TVs are
Speaker 1: the best. I tell everybody the best. Everyone knows I'm
Speaker 1: a Johnson TV guy. Slattery and and then I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: and by the way, this is true when I when
Speaker 1: I call a company, I'm telling the truth. With us.
Speaker 1: So when you know you're in the wrong, I embellished
Speaker 1: the funk out of it. I let them know which
Speaker 1: is the truth. I'm a I'm brand loyal So if
Speaker 1: I buy a TV or stereo, I've bought eleven of them,
Speaker 1: like all my TVs in my house in the same company.
Speaker 1: So you're pretty much showing a history that I'm happy
Speaker 1: with the product, part of the family, happy with the product.
Speaker 1: I get my friends to buy Johnson TVs love. I
Speaker 1: go to the electronics stores and starat Johnson TVs. I
Speaker 1: should call this company, yeah, and I should say tell
Speaker 1: them I would. Is there something you can do? Is
Speaker 1: this someone I can talk to you? Because really it's
Speaker 1: a couple of months and I don't. I don't pull
Speaker 1: on it. I don't have a dog, I don't have
Speaker 1: like nobody went back there. There's all by itself. Look,
Speaker 1: I I know sometimes TVs come out they're not perfect.
Speaker 1: Once in a blue moon, a soldering isn't perfect. I
Speaker 1: get it. It happens, Okay. So if I combine that
Speaker 1: type of story, the flattery, the brand loyalty YEA, with
Speaker 1: the combination of someone who's a good customer service, then
Speaker 1: you're gonna get you free deserve. I've I've had very
Speaker 1: good luck. And if it doesn't work, you'll wait a
Speaker 1: day and call back and get somebody else who doesn't
Speaker 1: know you're called the first guy eventually. But what you're
Speaker 1: saying is I'm not entitled to anything it's going in
Speaker 1: this case. Legally, they can say what they want. Better
Speaker 1: companies like Johnson TVs. Like if what if you have
Speaker 1: a major brand, gonna you know what, it's a major brand,
Speaker 1: right this This guy has a as eleven in a
Speaker 1: row Johnson TVs. Good guy, We wanted to buy a
Speaker 1: twelfth and thirteen Johnson TV and Sonic whomever. I'm alright, Well,
Speaker 1: Panasonic is a great company until I found LG and
Speaker 1: they're better. I would scar sorry because the replacement TV
Speaker 1: is kicking ass right now. All right, here's what I'll
Speaker 1: say about Panasonic. In two thousand seven, when plasma TVs
Speaker 1: were big, Panasonic was the brand, right, Sony was your
Speaker 1: your regular HD, your whatever. I don't I remember it
Speaker 1: was forget what the alternative to plasma was back then,
Speaker 1: and so plasma You got a Panasa c D l
Speaker 1: c D your plasma, Right, Sony was the best l
Speaker 1: C D then Panasonic was Plasma, then it went into
Speaker 1: then Plasma got phased out and Panasonic got phased out.
Speaker 1: Panasonic is not a big name in TVs anymore. They
Speaker 1: make a lot all the great. Yeah, okay, but I
Speaker 1: would have called them and said, look, love Panasai, Panasonic headphones, Panasonic.
Speaker 1: I would even mention that, you know, hey, I'm on
Speaker 1: the radio show. Panasonic is a sponsor. We love pans
Speaker 1: really on the radio show. Really well, don't you think
Speaker 1: I've tried that before. I'm just you gotta work it in.
Speaker 1: By the way, anyway, I have a microphone, so I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't want to use that. I want
Speaker 1: them to do it because as a customer, I deserve it. Uh,
Speaker 1: but you have to prove you deserve it. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: get a thousand people calling with oh yeah, my TV
Speaker 1: it's broken, it's out of warranty. So if you get
Speaker 1: nowhere with them, then one then you escalate the conversation.
Speaker 1: You call back, Oh you try this story with another customer, right,
Speaker 1: and then you hit him up on Twitter? Because make
Speaker 1: do they make notes in your account? Like okay, they
Speaker 1: call this story. Some do, some don't. They have notes
Speaker 1: in the account. Some of them. I said, I've noticed that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we said, you called here ten minutes ago with a
Speaker 1: similar tale. Yeah, but you can say very easily, you say,
Speaker 1: you know what. I spoke to a guy yesterday. He
Speaker 1: told me that a supervisor could help me, but they
Speaker 1: were not available yesterday. Some call him back. So the
Speaker 1: whole And by the way, when they say they getting
Speaker 1: a supervisor, I'm convinced ninety cent at the time, it's
Speaker 1: just add next in the next cubicle. Yeah, I'm a supervisor.
Speaker 1: Well ship, you're you're on the same levels. Yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: Mike and hit a supervisor. Oh yeah, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, so then there you go. So when when
Speaker 1: you're in the wrong, when you're in the wrong, you
Speaker 1: got yeah, you can't do you can't pull the free
Speaker 1: dessert card. And the the even is not even because
Speaker 1: they don't owe you anything, right, and it wasn't a
Speaker 1: customer service. That's right, it's out of warranty. You got
Speaker 1: to give them the di verbal dessert. I'm in the wrong. Uh.
Speaker 1: Bethany's peering through the glass. I think she's ready to
Speaker 1: come in and curse. Now, if you don't, if you
Speaker 1: didn't hear a curse, on the podcast before case you're
Speaker 1: listening out of order. Bethany is very prim and proper
Speaker 1: on the radio and on her podcast and acquired taste.
Speaker 1: And so we got a couple of requests because we
Speaker 1: cursed on the podcast and we curse on the fifty
Speaker 1: minute Morning Show, and not because we can curse. We
Speaker 1: just work it into its regular conversation for us. We
Speaker 1: don't have to be careful about what we say. Somebody said, well,
Speaker 1: we've we've never heard Bethany curse on the fifty minute
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Can she come up? Can she curse on
Speaker 1: your podcast? And by the way, I mean it took
Speaker 1: a lot for her the state of the word fart
Speaker 1: on the on the morning show. I mean that was
Speaker 1: like a ten minute segment on the show. And she
Speaker 1: finally did and it was she kind of slurred it.
Speaker 1: She barely said it. I don't even think she it
Speaker 1: counts that that that that's how like barely she said it.
Speaker 1: But well that's just where she was. She's from the Midwest.
Speaker 1: He's from Wisconsin. And another thing, um here she comes
Speaker 1: hit the button button button. OK. So Bethany is known
Speaker 1: for using big words, and that's why another reason I
Speaker 1: think she doesn't curse because most curses of like four
Speaker 1: letter words five letter words, mostly four, and I think
Speaker 1: that the length of the curse words are beneath her.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so we got we got a jingle for her.
Speaker 1: People said, we want to hear Bethany curse on your
Speaker 1: Ethan a lot of good feedback from the last time
Speaker 1: she came on and she cursed on the show. So
Speaker 1: hold on, turn her my gun. Rookie kie, we have
Speaker 1: a jingle. You are ready? Are you almost ready to curse? Yes?
Speaker 1: The jingle on Bethany Watson from the elp Strade Morning Show. Well,
Speaker 1: I feel ripped off because that's the same exact cadence
Speaker 1: and the same jingle and the same singers as we
Speaker 1: may have had the same day recording session. Were on
Speaker 1: a bus. Okay, similar Okay, Oh I forgot my jean jacket.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, hol on, you have a costume for this?
Speaker 1: My god, why can't you just cars like you can't?
Speaker 1: She's just come in and just do this. Okay. So
Speaker 1: while Bethany's out let me just talk about I wasn't
Speaker 1: talking about a sponsor, right, I got rans to get you.
Speaker 1: Bethany has a sponsor Bethany's wearing her sponsor. Where did
Speaker 1: you get that beautiful jean jacket there, Bethany? Why a
Speaker 1: company called Boho Hunter? Come on, Hold on a second,
Speaker 1: Come on, you asked I just wanted to wear my jeans.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, but I did ask. I fell right
Speaker 1: into that trap. We're trying to get sponsored, beautiful jack
Speaker 1: and he's mentioning every client that already sponsors him. This
Speaker 1: isn't a sponsor. Okay, good, yeah, alright, to play the
Speaker 1: jingle again for Bethany. I'm excited to hear a kurstony. Seriously,
Speaker 1: but you're can you can do? This is a four
Speaker 1: letter word or what? Bethany dull eyed lights? Hold on
Speaker 1: a second. She's got a mug of something and it's smoking.

Speaker 1: It's like a bubbling quadron. It's for my curse. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of fanfare, a lot of smoke around this. Ready,

Speaker 1: the background. What you guys are doing is that is
Speaker 1: that we just can't be too specific. Okay. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, I feel I feel bad for our listeners
Speaker 1: because you guys are doing something amazing. You're you guys
Speaker 1: are pretty much giving something to your listeners for the holidays, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: We we just wanted to say thank you, you know,
Speaker 1: because we have a lot of amazing listeners as to
Speaker 1: you guys who are like listening with heart, like they
Speaker 1: are not only listening, but they're actively engaging in the community,
Speaker 1: and we just wanted to, like, it's not much, it's
Speaker 1: just a way to say thanks. So we asked people
Speaker 1: to send us their mailing addresses and we're going to
Speaker 1: send them a little something. And that makes our podcast
Speaker 1: look bad to try to make you guys, we just
Speaker 1: thought it was I think it's it's it's it's unexpected
Speaker 1: and unrequired. So I think that you guys aren't doing
Speaker 1: anything wrong. Yeah, but you guys are doing something so right.
Speaker 1: And I feel like we're only twenty one were twenty
Speaker 1: one episodes in here, and we're up, So it's a
Speaker 1: little I mean, we've just we've been around longer that
Speaker 1: we want to say thanks for being with us, which
Speaker 1: is nice, but I feel like I feel like that
Speaker 1: I feel naked because we're not taking care of our
Speaker 1: sneers in a way. And I'm gonna work on something.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been I have some ideas for our listeners,
Speaker 1: but you guys have other things in the works as well,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I want to be there with
Speaker 1: you guys. It's not a jealousy thing so much as
Speaker 1: I'm envious that we're not hooking up our listeners the
Speaker 1: way you guys are hooking up yours, I don't think.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to overblow what this is. It's
Speaker 1: not like we're sending them packages in the mail. Thought
Speaker 1: it's so thoughtful, and you know what, I feel like
Speaker 1: we we oh. I feel like I want to buy
Speaker 1: our listeners a slice, like a slice of pizza. I
Speaker 1: think we should maybe give every one of our listeners
Speaker 1: a slice of pizza. But it's a lot. Though, even
Speaker 1: if even if we have a dollar slice, we has
Speaker 1: a kind of money. So can we order like seven slices?
Speaker 1: You think we get a discount on that? What about
Speaker 1: the other We have to sponsor at that point the
Speaker 1: way get a sponsor because this is expensive expensive? All right,
Speaker 1: it's expensive af um, But you guys are amazing I podcast. Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for your curse of the week. Christmas Christmas, Merry Christmas, Chris,
Speaker 1: Christmas is here? Bye? Yeah? So can I tell you
Speaker 1: about the guest that I'm trying to book? Would you?
Speaker 1: I'm still working on Michael Rappaport. Is that really going
Speaker 1: to happen? Though? He follows me on Twitter? That's enough,
Speaker 1: We'll get his attention, damnit. So I'm thinking we should
Speaker 1: have snooky Nicole Polizian studio. I have a connect to
Speaker 1: get her up here. We do have a lot in common,
Speaker 1: don't we. I mean you and she? Yeah? Well yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Jersey Shore. Like I used to party there
Speaker 1: a lot. She used to party there a lot. The
Speaker 1: thing is now she's you know, she's got a family. Um,
Speaker 1: I happened to I haven't to know her husband. I
Speaker 1: was in a fantasy football league with him. But she
Speaker 1: also has a podcast, and I figure it'll be great
Speaker 1: for her to come on here and her talk about
Speaker 1: our podcast. And we talked about her podcast, and you know,
Speaker 1: we just have a good time. She seems like the
Speaker 1: kind of person that could get down with us that
Speaker 1: there's no restrictions. You know why the fact Jewish worked,
Speaker 1: you know why, you know got you know guys like that,
Speaker 1: because it's like he could sit down and just beat
Speaker 1: him all right, Like in our old podcast that I
Speaker 1: used to do. We had Stasi from um fan of
Speaker 1: pup Rules up here a couple of times, and she
Speaker 1: was great because she would just sit down and be herself.
Speaker 1: We can talk about it. Do you want her life?
Speaker 1: I feel like I wanted my Gae rappaport And he
Speaker 1: said yeah, I feel like it went to would even
Speaker 1: out if I said, but but Snook, he would be
Speaker 1: great because she would open up, I think, and I
Speaker 1: think she would because she shot. She shot. You can't
Speaker 1: get you can't get out of talk. But that's my point.
Speaker 1: You know what would fit right in with us. She
Speaker 1: would she would roll with the punch. Here's what I
Speaker 1: like the most. Regular show and she would fit right.
Speaker 1: Here's what I like most about Snooky. In two thousand six,
Speaker 1: I wrote a song for the New York Mats when
Speaker 1: they were in the World Series. Well, they were going
Speaker 1: to the World Series. They didn't didn't make it, but
Speaker 1: they were on their way and uh she filmed herself
Speaker 1: singing the song on YouTube and put it up. So
Speaker 1: she was a fan of my work before she was famous.
Speaker 1: So I would talk to her about that. But I
Speaker 1: was in her basement and she has no clue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I was with her. I was with her.
Speaker 1: We're doing a fantasy football draft. Fantasy football draft. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't say anything negative because you may want to
Speaker 1: have her on, so I won't. Here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1: Tweet us and let us know if we should have
Speaker 1: uh Snooky on. She And by the way, this is
Speaker 1: not Snooky two eight. No, No, not, this is this
Speaker 1: is she's changed. By the way, about about tweeting us,
Speaker 1: I want to make a request of our listeners. Um,
Speaker 1: Instagram isn't really a communication social media platform. To go
Speaker 1: on a picture of me with b B eight and
Speaker 1: start talking about other stuff, that's for Instagram. That's no,
Speaker 1: that's for Twitter. That's t I'm saying, don't go on
Speaker 1: Instagram and still having conversations that are not about the picture.
Speaker 1: That happens every time, you know, it's just not really
Speaker 1: the place for it. Or DM me and I'll have
Speaker 1: a conversation to you. But it's weird to have like, oh,
Speaker 1: asking me example, I don't want to call anybody out,
Speaker 1: but then it be like, well I don't have Twitter.
Speaker 1: First of all, you just have Twitter. It's awesome. Um,
Speaker 1: but DM me then I respond to all d M
Speaker 1: it's not a problem. So or email us or whatever.
Speaker 1: But they should stay on point one message. If there's
Speaker 1: a picture of you with b B eight, yeah, but
Speaker 1: the girl I love, They should love to man nice converse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when's the Brooklyn Boys podcast? That's that's okay. But if
Speaker 1: it's like other stuff, the problem. The problem is they
Speaker 1: have no other place on Instagram to go because they
Speaker 1: can only comment on pictures and they'll go to your
Speaker 1: most recent They can m they can slide their mind,
Speaker 1: they can slide into my d M s, or they
Speaker 1: can they can email me my emails on Elvis Oran
Speaker 1: dot com. You can email me anytime you want. I
Speaker 1: just sometimes it's clunky to have conversations back in because
Speaker 1: then you get an alert and you have to find
Speaker 1: it in the stream and scroll looking for the whatever.
Speaker 1: By the way, I really want to hear what's going
Speaker 1: on with this uber. I gotta I gotta up. Okay,
Speaker 1: So just to reset quickly, last we left the Charles
Speaker 1: and Tribulations of Uber. Put my twelve year old daughter
Speaker 1: in in uber to go north on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Speaker 1: The driver when south by mistake, got off, looped around
Speaker 1: when south by mistake, looped around when south by mistake,
Speaker 1: and finally went north after looping south south south south right.
Speaker 1: Uh got her there forty minutes late. Tried to charge
Speaker 1: me sixty three dollars for thirty dollar ride. Actually, so
Speaker 1: it was my wife who put her in the in
Speaker 1: the uber. It was my wife's account and her email
Speaker 1: address that paid for the uber. Right. I refused to
Speaker 1: deal with you still came at him our joint bank
Speaker 1: account whatever. So uh, my wife tried to complain politely
Speaker 1: through the app and they were like, uh, the driver
Speaker 1: took the best route possible and uh sorry, and she's like, no,
Speaker 1: look at the map because you can chart it, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys all heard the uberrant when I said it's
Speaker 1: I'm Melissa bit right, So it ended the last you
Speaker 1: heard was they weren't gonna help. I've been ripping them
Speaker 1: on on social media day after day, our listeners, great listeners,
Speaker 1: ripping them all. So give Brodie's free dessert whatever. So
Speaker 1: the bottom line with me was they said they wanted
Speaker 1: my phone number, then said we're not gonna call you
Speaker 1: because we're gonna call your wife whatever. Then I said, okay,
Speaker 1: what call my wife? And they said, oh, we don't
Speaker 1: call people. We just use your phone number to look
Speaker 1: up your account. So after all that, they're not calling
Speaker 1: either one of us. Okay, So my wife goes on Twitter.
Speaker 1: After I tell her there's nothing I can do, but
Speaker 1: if you want give them your number and hand me
Speaker 1: the phone like I'm ready or whatever you want me
Speaker 1: to do. She's like, well, logging you want to be
Speaker 1: logging her Twitter account and finally said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll handle it. I've learned a thing or two over
Speaker 1: the years. I'll handle it. So she goes on social media.
Speaker 1: She's got like thirty followers. She's not it's not big
Speaker 1: on on on Twitter, but whatever, she used her account,
Speaker 1: and she said, hey, you guys suck you try, you
Speaker 1: didn't help me, blah blah blah. So they they write
Speaker 1: her back an email. They look up her account the
Speaker 1: email and I said, hey, They said the same bullshit again.
Speaker 1: We really want to help you, but our wreck heard
Speaker 1: show whatever, Please use the app. She went off on
Speaker 1: them in an email. They called her, She didn't answer
Speaker 1: the phone, she didn't recognize the number, but Uber, who
Speaker 1: doesn't call anybody, called her right left a voicemail with
Speaker 1: an email address. She emailed them again, what happened when
Speaker 1: south and south and south and they and and they're like,
Speaker 1: and you tried to charge me, You did nothing. All
Speaker 1: they did was then charge how the right amount? No
Speaker 1: free dessert. Nothing sounds like they're driving her in circles
Speaker 1: the way they drove your daughter in circles. But ump ump.
Speaker 1: So she got back to the people that called her,
Speaker 1: even though they claim they never call anybody, and they apologized.
Speaker 1: Oh and they gave us a full refund free dessert.
Speaker 1: Bam got the ride for free, so hold on, hold
Speaker 1: on and dollar credit for the next ride. There's your
Speaker 1: free dessert. Okay, that's the free And then I jumped
Speaker 1: ahead so so the ride was free. We apologize because
Speaker 1: my wife said to them okay and same thing and said, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so you didn't charge us for the bad ride as
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have okay, and why would I use your
Speaker 1: service again? And they said, here credit towards you next ride.
Speaker 1: We're terribly sorry. Let us let us do better next time.
Speaker 1: So kudos to my wife for picking up the mantle,
Speaker 1: running with it and getting refund and free dessert from Uber.
Speaker 1: You suck less. Now, Uber, there's your update and unused
Speaker 1: punch line that is not my rant of the day.
Speaker 1: My rant of the day has Oh it hasn't ending
Speaker 1: you you're gonna not see coming. Okay, we're talking to
Speaker 1: this out. I want to give credit to an unused
Speaker 1: joke from a Texter from texted in the part of
Speaker 1: the show where we have unused jokes from the elst
Speaker 1: Ran Big Show where I write jokes of people on
Speaker 1: the show as the show is live, as it's happening,
Speaker 1: and the punch line don't get used and rather than
Speaker 1: getting tossed in the garbage, we saved them and read
Speaker 1: them live on this podcast. Okay, So we were talking
Speaker 1: about doing Keegel's kegels is when you women tighten up
Speaker 1: their vaginal muscles or whatever they do. They know what
Speaker 1: it is. For men, it's when you're peeing and you
Speaker 1: stop your stuff from peeing. You squeeze it and like
Speaker 1: you contract something and you stop being That's the the
Speaker 1: Keegel muscle. It's not really the Keegel muscle, but you
Speaker 1: feel it in the venus. Right, whatever you do, you
Speaker 1: you're exercising cotwegles, right, okay, and the and so a
Speaker 1: text are cald it and said they should call that
Speaker 1: puss ups up. I didn't write that. Those very funny.
Speaker 1: We did a story about Apple is opening up factories
Speaker 1: in Ireland and I said, oh, then that case they
Speaker 1: be Macintosh apples. Little mick joke down all right. Uh.
Speaker 1: We were debating whether die Hard is a Christmas movie
Speaker 1: and because people say, well, it's a Christmas movie because
Speaker 1: it was there was a Christmas party going on when
Speaker 1: the buildings attacked in the first I Heard movie. By
Speaker 1: the way, it's not called die Heard one, it's just Diehard,
Speaker 1: okay um. And I said, well, if Diehard's a Christmas
Speaker 1: movie simply because it has a Christmas tree and a scene,
Speaker 1: then Jaws is a summer fun film because and they
Speaker 1: didn't go to that. Uh, there was a story about
Speaker 1: someone getting arrested for drag racing in a Buticles Saber.
Speaker 1: Buticles Saber is an old guy's car. It's an old
Speaker 1: piece of ship. No offensive Bulticles Saber. Beautiful podcast right now,
Speaker 1: not a new Buticles Saber, the old ones, the big ones.
Speaker 1: And I said, if if a Buticles Saber was dragging,
Speaker 1: do anything dragging on a bugle Saber was probably the muffler.
Speaker 1: We didn't get to that. A woman burned down her
Speaker 1: house because she had bed bugs, so she tried to
Speaker 1: burn them out of the bed and under them, and
Speaker 1: she burned down the whole house. So my joke was,
Speaker 1: now she has rubble bugs. We didn't get to that. Um.
Speaker 1: We did a story about a woman who likes to
Speaker 1: she people who marry inanimate objects. That is so remember
Speaker 1: that on the Big Shop. It's so weird to me.
Speaker 1: So a woman married her scissors, so I said, well,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of women love scissoring. We didn't
Speaker 1: get to that. That's funny. Another woman married the statue
Speaker 1: of Liberty, so my joke was, well, she carried a
Speaker 1: church for the statue Liberty for many years. We didn't
Speaker 1: get to that one. Uh Froggy said, if we asked
Speaker 1: everyone on the show, if you could marry anything you want,
Speaker 1: what would you marry Frog? He said he'd marry his bed,
Speaker 1: and I said, well, sure, as the treats his bed
Speaker 1: like a king. We didn't get to that. That's a cute,
Speaker 1: little acute little pun. Uh. Dave Matthews had his appendix
Speaker 1: taken out, which I wrote, I guess his body isn't
Speaker 1: a wonderland. We didn't get to that. Well, I have
Speaker 1: your body Wonderland by John Mayer, right, which is why
Speaker 1: we didn't get to that joke. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: point that out. Would have been a good joker, was
Speaker 1: John Mayer. We get to that joke. But if John
Speaker 1: Mayer has an accident, I'm using that joke again. What
Speaker 1: happened was his Dave Matthews story. Again, he has appendix
Speaker 1: taken out. Okay, yeah, but anyway, Yeah, I sucked up
Speaker 1: the singer. That's the changeable. He does aunts marching. That's right,
Speaker 1: all right? And then um Elvis was talking about how
Speaker 1: he brought bathball and he took a bath of this
Speaker 1: effervescent bathball. And he said, I'm not used to taking
Speaker 1: a bath with a bathball, and I said, no, you're
Speaker 1: used to taking a bath with footballs at the topic,
Speaker 1: how did he not do that job? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do not all great one of them.
Speaker 1: I funked up the singer. But that would made my
Speaker 1: day right there. That's like reaching number one on the
Speaker 1: old David Letterman's Top ten list. And finally the number
Speaker 1: one and what are you talking about? Usually have footballs
Speaker 1: in your tope? He didn't get to that one. That
Speaker 1: was my favorite joker. That joke stands on its own
Speaker 1: without even having a sense the fact he didn't do
Speaker 1: it his nuts yo anyway, Um, So I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you what I'm having for dinner for Christmas Eve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to share this with but I want
Speaker 1: to talk about I want to talk about your rant.
Speaker 1: If you get your rant, I have a side rant,
Speaker 1: and then I have a rant. So pick your order.
Speaker 1: How many freaking rants? Well? I got enough at Tomorrows
Speaker 1: show too. Sure we haven't been on it two weeks,
Speaker 1: that's right. So I wanted to tell you guys what
Speaker 1: what I'm having I'm just gonna be straight out with it.
Speaker 1: I'm having sushi. We order sushi on Christmas Eve. It's
Speaker 1: become a tradition in the Scary family, held very close
Speaker 1: to the vest. We don't want to admit it to
Speaker 1: too many people. Yeah, and because I don't know why,
Speaker 1: we just you know, Chris to cook for Christmas Eve
Speaker 1: in the Catholic tradition. When when you say the Scary family,
Speaker 1: you mean your mom and dad, Yeah, my brother, my
Speaker 1: sister Anthony and Rowe and aunt Millie and yeah, Tony
Speaker 1: and Rowe from Brooklyn. This is their idea. They started this.
Speaker 1: But well, no, wait a minute, are you counting I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get this wrong. Forgive me, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: a Christian, don't you guys? Do the feast of like
Speaker 1: the seven fishes. Yes, and there's seven fish if you want,
Speaker 1: that's exactly how you can get it. You got you
Speaker 1: got a tuna, you got to I got lobster, salmon,
Speaker 1: salmon I got, and I got shrimped. And you're doing
Speaker 1: another one. So you're doing the feast of the uncooked
Speaker 1: seven fishes. I'm it's still seven fish. If you think
Speaker 1: about it, you're right because you're supposed to have seven fish.
Speaker 1: So and by the way, I pluralize fishes because that's
Speaker 1: what it's called, the seven fishes. I know it's fish,
Speaker 1: but I've heard referred to in Brooklyn seven fish. Correcting
Speaker 1: yourself up before the grammar police come together. I'm letting
Speaker 1: you know that I'm I'm I'm calling it what people
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn call it, the Feast of the seven Fishes,
Speaker 1: A step ahead of the curve. That was my homage
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. Your homage. Well, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it is a bit to cook, I mean, for for
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, because if you're trying to do seven fish,
Speaker 1: the first of all, you gotta have like seven people,
Speaker 1: like a team of people working because everything needs to
Speaker 1: be clean, and it's just it takes a lot of time.
Speaker 1: It's very laborious to put together a Christmas Eve feast
Speaker 1: that ends when you gobble it up in three minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but your mom row has been making Italian style Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Christmas meals and calamaria, little bottle of send book on
Speaker 1: the table, rightete. So we've been doing this forever and
Speaker 1: then a few years ago she just stopped and she's like,
Speaker 1: because what if we just flipped this bitch and just
Speaker 1: totally do sushi. And so we get like pretty much
Speaker 1: the best is wrong. The best takeout sushi you know
Speaker 1: available in Brooklyn at that hour. Well, they're all open
Speaker 1: actually on Christmas Seve, believe it or not. And we
Speaker 1: we we go pick up Platza sushi. We ordered an advance.
Speaker 1: So my mother, a mother one, is texting me right now.
Speaker 1: I want to She's got me out of group text
Speaker 1: with my sister, trying to take our dinner orders. Look
Speaker 1: at her. She this is my mom. She she's got me,
Speaker 1: my sister, my brother, and she's all right, who wants what?
Speaker 1: And then she screenshots the order from two thousand fift
Speaker 1: moms screenshotting she goes, do you want porkyosa? Do you
Speaker 1: want salmon roll? The yummy roll? Who wants the Connie? Well,
Speaker 1: I get it, the Yaka Tory chicken. In lieu of cook,
Speaker 1: king and cleaning, she's taken up the mantle of just
Speaker 1: putting together the order. Yeah, that's exactly I need seven
Speaker 1: layer lasagna, Mom, that's what I need. That's Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: The next day we do. Everything is cooking, right, I know,
Speaker 1: by the way I don't imply that your mother should
Speaker 1: cook alone. But I don't think your dad cooks right now.
Speaker 1: He grills now, right, they don't cook. So but I
Speaker 1: did convince her a couple of years ago, like, Ma,
Speaker 1: we can't. We gotta have I gotta have big clams,
Speaker 1: and I gotta have I gotta have fried shrimp. So
Speaker 1: it's my job. Jesus died for your sins. You gotta
Speaker 1: have some big job to lug my my deep friar
Speaker 1: over to the house and take care of that. And
Speaker 1: I fried the shrimp. So we do fried shrimp on
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. But we don't do you know, we we
Speaker 1: don't do the rest of it. But Christmas Day, that's
Speaker 1: another story. You gotta have the Jesus fish. You gotta
Speaker 1: have that, which is Jesus fish, the one on the
Speaker 1: back of the car. That one gotta have that one,
Speaker 1: whatever kind of fish is. Anyway, my mother's going crazy
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know why we just can't be
Speaker 1: done on an email or a quick conference call. She's
Speaker 1: got to get everybody involved, because my phone's like going off,
Speaker 1: like vibrating, like every five seconds. Why don't you why
Speaker 1: doesn't she just put on an email? That says, let
Speaker 1: me know what you want and then just email her.
Speaker 1: We ordered seafood salad too for the Eve. Is she
Speaker 1: available now? I feel like we should get on the
Speaker 1: phone and call her on the carpet on this that's
Speaker 1: a lot of food that's okay. By the way, bringing
Speaker 1: it back old school from episode one, Mom is Scary?
Speaker 1: Who knew what WTF meant? By the way, we run
Speaker 1: a promo on the Big Show. Now we all have
Speaker 1: promos like little advertisements for our podcasts, and uh Coaster
Speaker 1: boy Josh on our show put together the promo for
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Boys and he has your mother saying w TF,
Speaker 1: but not my mother. My mother's pissed. Yeah, I'm pissed
Speaker 1: about that too, because it should be Brodie's mom and
Speaker 1: Scary's mom should have been Yeah, you're not that pissed
Speaker 1: because it's your mom. What were you asking her? I
Speaker 1: just want to talk to her on what she's handing
Speaker 1: in her time card. She might see the number come
Speaker 1: up and specifically she's busy making the gravy and the
Speaker 1: sauce home right now. The who who's still who still
Speaker 1: has their voice on their voicemail? I do it's gone
Speaker 1: it's over. Well, I don't say hi, this is you
Speaker 1: know I I say something obnoxious about the telemarcters because
Speaker 1: that's all who calls me. No, no, I get on
Speaker 1: my voicemail is just the lady the one that comes
Speaker 1: with the phone vomit. Well, no, because I don't even bother.
Speaker 1: Some people I know don't even set up voicemails anymore.
Speaker 1: Do you remember back in the day when um, we
Speaker 1: used to have so you know what you know, guys,
Speaker 1: you know what an idea is? An ideas when you
Speaker 1: have the celebrity record like, hey it's uh, it's Kesha
Speaker 1: and you're listening to Elvistra in the morning show. Hey
Speaker 1: it's uh Michael Cutlets and you're listening to Walkers and
Speaker 1: Talkers podcast with David Brodie and Jamie. It's when you
Speaker 1: get them to say who you're listening to. So we
Speaker 1: used to have a sheet for the celebrities back in
Speaker 1: the nineties and early two thousand and they just have
Speaker 1: to rattle of everybody, Right, you're listening to Mo and Max,
Speaker 1: weell everybody else on the show on the station, and
Speaker 1: then at the end it would say, hey, this is
Speaker 1: bon Jovi. We can't come to the No one could
Speaker 1: come to the phone right now, leave a message and
Speaker 1: one of someone will call you back and they would
Speaker 1: record that. Well, we would we use it once, like
Speaker 1: maybe in a promo, but then all the jocks would
Speaker 1: take it home and then put on their answering machines.
Speaker 1: After well, the artist would come and go, what's this for? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's for the radio station. Yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker 1: They realized that we were just using it for our
Speaker 1: phone voicemails. So I used to call my house and
Speaker 1: you would hear celebrities answer the phone and you know,
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, no one can comes to
Speaker 1: that's the Google dolls. We can come up to the
Speaker 1: phone right now. Who still uses that that phrase? Can? Who?
Speaker 1: So and so can't come to the phone right my mother?
Speaker 1: I feel like that is that is a long gone
Speaker 1: Like nobody says hi I can't get or who on
Speaker 1: their voicemail. The few people who do actually leave, you know,
Speaker 1: actually record their voicemail message you're not going message? Who
Speaker 1: still says leave a message at the sound of the beep?
Speaker 1: Does anyone still do that? My mother doesn't? My mother
Speaker 1: makes a joke, or they'll say something like Uh, let
Speaker 1: let us know the time you called, and and and
Speaker 1: uh and your phone number. Helldo we have call time stamp?
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, you don't not all

Speaker 1: have some good news blah blah blah. Um. Well, you
Speaker 1: have my number now, so give me a call back

Speaker 1: had to build. I had to email her because you
Speaker 1: can't call a home number and say yeah, you have
Speaker 1: my number now, so you can call me back. No,
Speaker 1: I don't leave your damn number. So my voicemail doesn't
Speaker 1: say leave. You know, nobody calls my house. To telemarketers,
Speaker 1: we have I have a their case of emergency or
Speaker 1: in case family cousins whatever uncle's want to call the house,
Speaker 1: like if they want to wish everybody happy holiday, that

Speaker 1: holiday tradition. Chinese food in the movie. It's a known fact.
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, that's what we do. No one's in the theater.
Speaker 1: We run rampant on the streets. It's our day to
Speaker 1: be big shots out there. We go to Chinese food
Speaker 1: because they're open, and movie theater because there empty. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not the same as you guys eating sushi, because
Speaker 1: you're you're blaspheming your holiday. You're desecrating your holiday. That'd
Speaker 1: be me, like ordering Italian food on on the hanka
Speaker 1: or pass over and saying, oh, gonna have lasagna, can
Speaker 1: have lasagna. I gave you ten, they gave me ten. Today.
Speaker 1: You outed breakfast right, you turned into me today when
Speaker 1: your Greek salad arrived. You sounded like me when you
Speaker 1: opened up your Greek salad. What was on your Greek saladin's? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what did you say? You threw a all fit? You
Speaker 1: threw it. You're like this, You're like it was in
Speaker 1: a brown paper bag. You're like, hold the hell put
Speaker 1: Sartine's on a Greek salad because Greek salad means Greek salad.
Speaker 1: You don't put Sartin's on a Greek salad. They don't
Speaker 1: come on a Greek salad. They don't naturally appear on
Speaker 1: a Greek salad. A Greek salad has feta, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes,
Speaker 1: maybe onion, and and and lettuce and and and dressing.
Speaker 1: That's it. And I said a chicken. So they had
Speaker 1: a chicken. And they put seven smelly, freaking sardines across,
Speaker 1: laid them across the salad neatly, so the entire top
Speaker 1: of the surface area had sardine stink on them. I
Speaker 1: was so angry. I'm like, is that such a is
Speaker 1: that a thing? What Greek salad? Do you know? Okay, sardine's.
Speaker 1: Want me ask you a question? Did you order it? No,
Speaker 1: sardine's No, did you ask what the what the ingredients were?
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to see sardine's on the menu. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect pickles on my Chick fil a sandwich,
Speaker 1: But you gave me crap for it. You gotta ask
Speaker 1: what's on it and say what's on top? What's in
Speaker 1: the ingredients that you're not listening? That came out of
Speaker 1: left field. Okay, who the funk put sardine's on a
Speaker 1: Greek sal It's a Greek so I'll tell you who.
Speaker 1: After this happened to me, I realized anything is freaking possible.
Speaker 1: I think I told this story on the Brooklyn Boys podcast,
Speaker 1: the one about the chicken palm in a box. Yes,
Speaker 1: I order a chicken palm in a box from Benzi
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant. It's a chain, right. They put pickles in
Speaker 1: the box because the manager, because I complained because the
Speaker 1: pickle juice linked all over my chicken palm. Pickle is
Speaker 1: what you put with a Deli sandwich. If I ort
Speaker 1: a corn beef, I know I'm gonna say no pickle.
Speaker 1: Check out my Instagram today, I put up a picture
Speaker 1: in my order for you. Ordered the Greek salad. I
Speaker 1: ordered chicken palm hero and on my order I wrote
Speaker 1: no pickles anywhere, because I don't want some guy going
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw him a pickle. I don't want your pickle.
Speaker 1: So would you like slaw with your rod? You're mis spaghetti.
Speaker 1: Nobody puts pickles with chicken palm. So after this idiot
Speaker 1: who's obviously not Italian because they take a back to
Speaker 1: his head an Italian neighbor for putting a pickle with
Speaker 1: chicken palm, after he put pickle juice pickles in my
Speaker 1: chicken palm box and shook it up real good, and
Speaker 1: I got pickle palm after that hashtag pickle palm. I know.
Speaker 1: Don't trust anyone. Why because, as Joe Pesci said, they
Speaker 1: fucket to drive through, they fuck you to go orders.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta make sure you know what's in
Speaker 1: that box, so you know what fuck you when you
Speaker 1: saw Dean's all over your Greek style the Benvenudo Cafe
Speaker 1: right now, and see if sardines are part of the
Speaker 1: Greek salad. I'm looking it up right now. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm looking at because all I said, all
Speaker 1: I heard was I said, I said, uh, Andrew, who
Speaker 1: was taking orders, by the way, give me a Greek salad.
Speaker 1: Sardinia part of Italy, you should like him, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: not part of Greece. It was a Greek salad. It's
Speaker 1: right in the Saint Mary and Mediterranean Sea. No, ben
Speaker 1: Venudo Cafe. How do you even spell this word? Why
Speaker 1: are you calling him out? No, I'm calling him out.
Speaker 1: So I have you called Benzi ben Venudo Cafe? Hold on,
Speaker 1: you gonna call him? I just don't call him. Call
Speaker 1: him and ask him, ask him why they put sardine's
Speaker 1: on a Greek salad. They had four point three stars
Speaker 1: on The food was great. It was awesome that I
Speaker 1: had the chicken palm, I had a potato pancakes. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm on their their Benno to Go website. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look on the salads. Let's see if sardines
Speaker 1: are on here. I they came out of nowhere. I'm like,
Speaker 1: at first, I didn't even know I had a Greek
Speaker 1: salad by the way, Yeah, I I put up the
Speaker 1: picture of my order this morning on my Facebook page
Speaker 1: and I said, no pickles. Pickles are gross because my
Speaker 1: order says chicken palm, potato pancakes, no pickles anywhere. And
Speaker 1: it's on my Instagram account A David underscore brod. You
Speaker 1: can see the picture. My cousin who I love, my
Speaker 1: cousin Diane, my first cousin. She writes back, I agree,
Speaker 1: we're definitely related. Yep, that's my cousin. Pickles don't belong
Speaker 1: your chicken palm. Okay, I gave you that, but I
Speaker 1: know I know for next time. Do sardin's belong on
Speaker 1: a Greek side? I don't know. I don't eat Greek salad.
Speaker 1: Why because the galad well, because a Greek salad could
Speaker 1: be anything. If I have a caesar salad, I know
Speaker 1: what's in it, I ask. I'm gonna call them because
Speaker 1: they'll throw sardine's on the caesar salad because what's what's
Speaker 1: in the chef's salad? Who the hell knows? Chef shalad
Speaker 1: usually deli meats that are like oh yeah, but the
Speaker 1: chef could put whatever he wants it. It's the chef salad,
Speaker 1: chef's salad. What's in the house salad? Who the hell knows.
Speaker 1: There are certain things that are traditionally mean, certain things
Speaker 1: like number one. Like a number one club is always turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato,
Speaker 1: on on, hold on, thinking on on on white toast,
Speaker 1: cutting force. That is that is classically a number one club.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you look at number one on a way,
Speaker 1: if it was a number one club, you'd be waiting
Speaker 1: outside to get in. Yeah, number one on the diner. Men,
Speaker 1: you go to a diner menu, any diner menu, every
Speaker 1: different number one is always that. Now sometimes it's a
Speaker 1: triple decker. But you know what, when you order a ruben,
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting. No, is it a petram
Speaker 1: rouen corn? I'll tell you what. Ben Venutos the company
Speaker 1: right here, what's a ruben is supposed to have on it?
Speaker 1: Sala kraud yep, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing right a thousand island,
Speaker 1: thousand island, but usually Russian. Usually it's on a toasted rod,
Speaker 1: right on? What kind of meat? Corn, beef? I was
Speaker 1: gonna have a reuben, but at ben Venuto they're ruben.
Speaker 1: Pastrami is meat, right, pastrami, Swiss cheese, sala kraut, hold
Speaker 1: on your hold on your seat, Dijon mustard, Dijon mustard.
Speaker 1: The fund is that that's not a Reuben, not a Reuben.
Speaker 1: But that's sort of even subway the chain that their
Speaker 1: commercials are run TV right now. These commercials are running nationally.
Speaker 1: They're running national commercials about the ruben is back. They
Speaker 1: even know how to do a rubin, right? Are you
Speaker 1: sponsored by them? I'm not a robin is is a
Speaker 1: classic sandwich. My point is people will do whatever they want.
Speaker 1: Certain things means certain certain have connotations to them. When
Speaker 1: you say Greek salad, it does not mean sting. But
Speaker 1: this place put mustard on a roban. Okay, I'll put
Speaker 1: mustard on a robin. I them and it's not a robin.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call them right now. Well, let's get them
Speaker 1: on the phone. Oh this is almost I wanted your
Speaker 1: mother on the phone. But you get them on the phone.
Speaker 1: We haven't called a company in a while. This is
Speaker 1: good pickle par My god, I'm upset now thinking about pickle.
Speaker 1: And try again. This is the number. Clearly it's not
Speaker 1: you know, what. The phone is probably overloaded with people
Speaker 1: complaining about their sardines. On the Greek salad They got
Speaker 1: four and stars, though doesn't make any sense. Don s Greek?
Speaker 1: By the way, Speaking of Greek salads, I love a
Speaker 1: good gyro. I know it's a Euro. I'm from New York.
Speaker 1: I'm calling it a giro, all right. It gyrates around
Speaker 1: on that little slight, that meat spinning thing. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I order it meat and tomato only. You know what
Speaker 1: they say every time you don't want a sauce. You
Speaker 1: don't want a sauce. I don't want the cue. Coumba sauce,
Speaker 1: No sauce, that's what only means meat and tomato only.
Speaker 1: You know how many times they put the sauce on Anyway,
Speaker 1: every time. I can't trust anybody anymore. Oh the ring, Oh,
Speaker 1: I guess the number was wrong on your end. In
Speaker 1: my head, Hi Ben, the noodle? Hif if I was
Speaker 1: to make an order, I don't have the menu in
Speaker 1: front of me. What is it? A Greek salad? Cucumbers, tomatoes?
Speaker 1: And what was that? And what's it the what? Oh? Anchovies? Huh?
Speaker 1: Not sardines but antchovies. There's fish on there. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: is that Greek? Definitely? Definitely? I've had Greek salad before.
Speaker 1: So is your Greek salad more authentic by putting the
Speaker 1: the sardines on top anchovies? An? All right, I'll call
Speaker 1: back with a bit a bigger order in about five minutes,
Speaker 1: thank you. I should ask about the ruben. You hung
Speaker 1: up on them, so that was all our second. So
Speaker 1: they weren't even sardines, they were ancho. I don't even
Speaker 1: know the difference because they both smells disgusting. You think
Speaker 1: all fish look alike. That's racist, so ant chovies. So
Speaker 1: I was eating ancho even worse. All right? You could
Speaker 1: have taken him home and had six more fishes and
Speaker 1: then you had your dinner. So I was eating some
Speaker 1: more fish. I was eating anchovies. Did you eat them even? No?
Speaker 1: I fucking And not only that, but that whole top
Speaker 1: layer of my salad I do in the a thing
Speaker 1: it had, yeah, it had, it had anchovies smell on it. Now,
Speaker 1: if it had sardine's you wouldn't have eaten me. I
Speaker 1: don't like anything like that. You like that that salty canny,
Speaker 1: you know those fish, salty canned fish, you know those fish.
Speaker 1: I need yeah, I need a skate key to open
Speaker 1: the can. No, I don't want any spam fish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's the it's the spam of fish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really is both sardines and anchovies. Wait, but they
Speaker 1: didn't have heads to them. Yeah, they they were the
Speaker 1: famous headless fish. They were spread out. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: it's almost like someone was playing a joke on me,
Speaker 1: freaking putting anchovies. Hey, listen, you heard the guy if
Speaker 1: if he claims that's more Greek than regular grief, you're Greek,
Speaker 1: guys uber Greek. If you're Greek and you're listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast right now, I'm gonna and you're telling me
Speaker 1: that is tradition to put anchovies on Greek salad. Hold on, Okay,
Speaker 1: then I apologize. But I've eaten a lot of Greek
Speaker 1: salad in my time, a lot from a lot of
Speaker 1: different places. Never ever, ever, Genius Kitchen has a recipe
Speaker 1: for Greek salad with anchovies. I'm looking at uh yep,
Speaker 1: baby green Greek salad with anchovies, apparently. But that that's
Speaker 1: if you add to it. I could say baby green
Speaker 1: Greek salad with chicken or shrimp. But does it traditional
Speaker 1: looks like it looks like at Wikipedia. Wikipedia's explanation. It's
Speaker 1: a Greek cuisine. Let's see it's uh uh. Feta cheese
Speaker 1: has served on Hydra Island. Cucumbers are peeled. Main ingredients tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, cheese,
Speaker 1: olives usually Kalmada olives, a regular olive oil. All that
Speaker 1: hold on at the Colamada Colamada. Those are the squashy ones,
Speaker 1: bell pepper's capers, fine all possible. Let's see. Greek salad
Speaker 1: is often imagine verys other salads in grease. Nope, outside Greece,
Speaker 1: let's see outside Greece, Let's see Greek salad is served
Speaker 1: in France. This is where liberal supply of onion an
Speaker 1: American Greek salad served with lettuce that Denmark is not
Speaker 1: going to find it. The people at the Benvenuto Cafe
Speaker 1: made it up. This This is their concoction, the same
Speaker 1: way they concocted that dijon mustard goes on a Reuben
Speaker 1: pepper and sni Bell peppers gradishes occasionally on American style
Speaker 1: Greek salad. Here it is here it is multiple cube
Speaker 1: jake cuttings mixed with the vegetables. And olives are the
Speaker 1: most standard elements in an American style Greek salad, but cucumbers,
Speaker 1: pepper and cini, pickled hot peppers, bell peppers, onions, radishes,
Speaker 1: name everything in the gold dolmades, and anchovies slash sardines
Speaker 1: are common in Detroit. For example, Greek salad includes bo
Speaker 1: and in the Tampa Bay area and includes potato salad.
Speaker 1: Get that, a lottie. You can't put potato salad in
Speaker 1: a Greek salad. You can in Tampa, the home of
Speaker 1: the most strip clubs in America. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's just it's like these are very boobies and potato
Speaker 1: salad sitting in New York City. But you know what,
Speaker 1: You're an American, and an American Greek salad could have
Speaker 1: sardines slash anchovies. But I guarant freaking tea. You can
Speaker 1: go on Wikipedia and by the way, don't change it
Speaker 1: because it's a wickie. I know you can change it
Speaker 1: right now. If you go on Chicken Palm, it doesn't
Speaker 1: say pickles. They the two do not go together. Therefore,
Speaker 1: your rant unjustified because ben Venuto is like that's I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a Greek name, it's Italian name. So
Speaker 1: you're trusting an Italian place to do an American Greek
Speaker 1: salad where you could have anchovies slash sardine. They chopped it.
Speaker 1: I asked him to chop it, can toss it and
Speaker 1: mix in the dressing, and they did, and it was delicious. Underneath, right,
Speaker 1: the underneath was the fingered the ball. I saw your
Speaker 1: finger in the ball was getting a dressing. The ball
Speaker 1: skill almost gave the ball the shocker. That's how much
Speaker 1: you like that dress? All right? So should we save
Speaker 1: the rands for the free dessert? I got I gotta
Speaker 1: got one. I gotta do my ups ramp. Let's do
Speaker 1: the ups ran all right, and then we and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna close this one out and then tomorrow we
Speaker 1: got more. So this this one, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know if what's gonna be left. We've we've done
Speaker 1: so much today some material that I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: have crumbs left. We'll have plenty. Don't worry. Here we go, okay.
Speaker 1: So it's it's package sending season. Boxes are arriving all
Speaker 1: the time, every hour now my house. Some of them
Speaker 1: have food in them. Eat it my house to get
Speaker 1: to my house this driveway and his little walking path
Speaker 1: from the driveway and it's uh five steps to my
Speaker 1: little porch area where all the packages go by the
Speaker 1: front door. My wife says to me, Hey, when you
Speaker 1: come home, there's a giant box block in the staircase
Speaker 1: from ups Okay, giant box, huge box, not for us.
Speaker 1: So I said, well, it was the box for so
Speaker 1: she says, it's it's addressed wrong. Now I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: use my my actual street names, but let's just say hypothetically.
Speaker 1: I lived on a street called Rosen r O sc N.
Speaker 1: The box said it was addressed to Rose, right, so
Speaker 1: I live on let's say Rosen Street. Okay, the box
Speaker 1: was addressed to Rose Drive. There is no Rose Drive
Speaker 1: in my town, but there's a Bows Drive. So not
Speaker 1: only was the address one letter the street name one
Speaker 1: letter off, but because Bows became Rose, it was delivered
Speaker 1: to Rosen Street, not Drive. So I can see what
Speaker 1: the problem was. But it's not my box. Giant box,
Speaker 1: too big for me to lift. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they got a dishwasher. I don't know what's in there,
Speaker 1: but it's from bed, bath and beyond. Somebody, somebody messed
Speaker 1: up the label, of course, so we do the right thing.
Speaker 1: We see the person's name. We go on Facebook. No,
Speaker 1: I always don't know. I don't do the wrong thing.
Speaker 1: So we go on Facebook. Try to find the guy's name.
Speaker 1: Anyone know this guy from bows Drive? Admirable? Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: I can't go to bows Drive because it's a gated
Speaker 1: it's a private town house community. Of course, I can't
Speaker 1: even get in there. I can't bring the box. It's
Speaker 1: too freaking heavy, it's black in my staircase. So I
Speaker 1: called you PS right. I don't even look at the
Speaker 1: tracking number. I don't know. My wife said it's from
Speaker 1: UPS there's a tracking number whatever. So I'm driving home.
Speaker 1: I'm driving. I'm driving to see my mom, so I
Speaker 1: have like an hour drive. I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a phone called kill two Birds one Stone.
Speaker 1: So I call you PS UP and I get I
Speaker 1: don't know what country, And I tell the guy this
Speaker 1: is the situation. Uh, well, can I have the tracking number? Piece?
Speaker 1: And I said, I don't know the tracking number. Here's
Speaker 1: what I need the tracking number. I said, Look, I'll
Speaker 1: give you the name on the on the box. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the dress. I'll tell you where it is.
Speaker 1: I'll give you my address on Rosen Street. You can
Speaker 1: go pick it up. Without the tracking number. I can't
Speaker 1: do it. No, no, no, no, look it up. Look
Speaker 1: up bed Beth and Beyond's account. Look up. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you the name of the address it's supposed to go to.
Speaker 1: The guy's name is like whatever, Moldovia, whatever the guy's
Speaker 1: name was. Look it up. We have no record of
Speaker 1: any shipment to bows Rose Roseen, nothing, so at that
Speaker 1: point it becomes yours. So I'm I'm like, listen the
Speaker 1: boxes blocking my staircase, get the box off my staircase. Well,
Speaker 1: I need the tracking number. I'm not gonna be home
Speaker 1: to like eleven o'clock tonight. I want the box gone
Speaker 1: by tomorrow. I'm giving you my address. When you drive
Speaker 1: and gets there, he can scan the box. He'd get
Speaker 1: the tracking number. It's not my job to have the
Speaker 1: tracking number. It's not my box. It's not my box,
Speaker 1: he says, don't know what it is, right, And I'm
Speaker 1: not anymore. I said, it's your customer, you'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: I'm already. I hadn't by the way, I hadn't wait
Speaker 1: on hold twenty three minutes to get to this guy
Speaker 1: because why because it's packing. It's packing season. We're experiencing
Speaker 1: hirer coal volumes today. Blah blah blah. Okay, I get it.

Speaker 1: car whatever, listen to music. Oh wait, twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I get because I'm Yeah. The guy's like,
Speaker 1: I can't come pick it up. I'm giving you my address.

Speaker 1: every day from Amazon. Just tell him to take the box.
Speaker 1: Just let it sit there until the next day when
Speaker 1: he makes the next delivery. The boxes were coming back.
Speaker 1: The box is already there two days because we would
Speaker 1: trying on Facebook to find the guy. The guy came
Speaker 1: and left. We had a sign on and take the
Speaker 1: box and take the box. How big was this box?
Speaker 1: I want to say it was a refrigerator dishwasher, so
Speaker 1: maybe like four and alf four and a half feet
Speaker 1: by three feet and heavy, big box. I would have
Speaker 1: dragged it into my ambasement, cut it open and freaking
Speaker 1: yeah that's what it was. And I'm not taking no
Speaker 1: because if if it was gonna be, if you know what,
Speaker 1: because you know that the person who would belonged to
Speaker 1: was getting their free dessert. They're like, where's my fucking chip, Ben,
Speaker 1: where's my dishwashing? Not unless they hit this podcast. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what. Maybe it was something important, you know,
Speaker 1: and then we've gotten themselves a washer and dry. I'm
Speaker 1: a good Samaritan, so I said, no, I am chill.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the guy's box to a point, all right.
Speaker 1: So I say to the guy, listen, I could take
Speaker 1: this box and keep it, and then you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pay the ship another one and bed bath and
Speaker 1: be honest, screwed. I don't know who made the mistake.
Speaker 1: I don't want the box. I'm trying to do the
Speaker 1: right thing here. Come get the box without the tracking number.
Speaker 1: Can get the box? Just give me the track number
Speaker 1: had a tracking number, I go on, I give me

Speaker 1: no supervisor available. Get me the guy in the next ubericle.
