Speaker 1: Starduf dot up start up, Brooklyn Boys start Up Brooklyn
Speaker 1: bukst dot uf dot up. They making noise data dot
Speaker 1: dot dot up. Episode one. We made it. It's the
Speaker 1: Brooken Boys podcast. I can't believe this brodys. I'm sitting
Speaker 1: in my basement about five ft away from my washer
Speaker 1: and dryer, which are not running right now otherwise you
Speaker 1: hear them. And I'm sitting in my apartment and I
Speaker 1: got a beautiful sunny day and my air conditioners broken.
Speaker 1: I just realized it. And it's seventy degrees Oh perfect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't march. You don't realize your recondition is not
Speaker 1: working until such time as it gets hot out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it did that thing where it did that thing where
Speaker 1: you know, the first gust of air came on and
Speaker 1: it blew out all the air that's been sitting in
Speaker 1: there for six months, that musty, disgusting air, and then
Speaker 1: it cleared up, but it never went cold. So now
Speaker 1: I have to call the people at the front desk.
Speaker 1: It looks like I have a project this weekend. Well,
Speaker 1: what takes my air condition Not like you're stuck in
Speaker 1: your house or anything like that that you need air
Speaker 1: conditioning yeah. I mean, I have so much to do
Speaker 1: this weekend. Well, listen, for those people who are listening
Speaker 1: to this a year later after we recorded it, we
Speaker 1: are in lockdown. We're in the middle of a week
Speaker 1: one of quarantine for the coronavirus. So this is a
Speaker 1: special coronavirus edition of the Brooklyn Boys. Um yeah, um.
Speaker 1: It feels kind of weird. We've never First of all,
Speaker 1: we've never done our podcast outside the studio. We've always
Speaker 1: been there, We've never done it from our houses. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, I have another podcast, which I'll plug right here. Sure,
Speaker 1: Speaking Volumes podcast with Share and Scary. You might have
Speaker 1: heard it, maybe not, and that's okay if you have it,
Speaker 1: but maybe you'll discover it now. I like that. I
Speaker 1: like that Share gets topp building. There's very nice. Well,
Speaker 1: she's she's a woman. Women always win, right. I'm just
Speaker 1: a lowly guy, you know, and all I do is
Speaker 1: man splain things anyway on that podcast. That's so what
Speaker 1: you know, And and we regularly do our podcast. She
Speaker 1: does it from her bedroom and I do it from
Speaker 1: this very microphone at my apartment. So I'm feeling at
Speaker 1: home right now. It's just a little bizarre that we're
Speaker 1: doing an episode of the Brooklyn Boys this way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is kind of weird. I mean I never had
Speaker 1: a basement when I lived in Brooklyn, so I guess, Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm moving up or down in the world. I guess
Speaker 1: we look at it now, how can you be David
Speaker 1: Brody in your house with your wife and kids. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: my wife and uh one of my kids are at
Speaker 1: the Jersey Shore right now. Uh they're walking on a
Speaker 1: boardwalk to get some fresh air because there's nobody there.
Speaker 1: They just sent me a picture there's the beaches are empty,
Speaker 1: the boardwalk is empty, so they're not They're keeping us
Speaker 1: so their social distancing from everyone, So that's good. Um.
Speaker 1: One of my kids is two floors up, uh, doing homework.
Speaker 1: So and the rest of the rest of my family
Speaker 1: is really so when you get into your yelling mode
Speaker 1: where you start ranting, your kids not gonna come running
Speaker 1: down the stairs like what's the matter, what's going on? Dad? No,
Speaker 1: my family is well aware of what this podcast like.
Speaker 1: And I told him I'll be down here, so I said, no,
Speaker 1: laundry gets done while I'm down here. Don't expect to
Speaker 1: use the basement. So that everybody knows that you know
Speaker 1: what I do and listen. They live with me long enough.
Speaker 1: You think I only rant on this podcast. I ranted
Speaker 1: home too, so it's nothing new. Now, could you take
Speaker 1: us on a quick tour of your basement, like you know,
Speaker 1: like who is it? Is it Mark Marin or Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan who records in a garage? I think mac Mark
Speaker 1: Marin does. I don't know. Both of them are more
Speaker 1: successful than we are, so I don't know. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they I mean, I think it's Mark Marin who started
Speaker 1: his podcasting like a tool shed or something and it's
Speaker 1: very wildly popular. And then like I do a podcast
Speaker 1: with a tool shed, so it works out right. Oh,
Speaker 1: don't talk about Jamie like that from Walker Talkers. And
Speaker 1: by the way, speaking of which, yes, I saw that
Speaker 1: slick move if you you you posted an episode of
Speaker 1: Walkers and Talkers to the Brooklyn Boys channel and it
Speaker 1: was only up briefly, only overnight yep. And then and
Speaker 1: then I noticed that you you waited for a long
Speaker 1: time to take it down, and people were like texting
Speaker 1: you on Twitter, Hey, Brodie, you put up an episode
Speaker 1: of Walkers on the Brooklyn Boys channel. I'm beginning to
Speaker 1: think that you did that on purpose? You're like, oops, well,
Speaker 1: i'll tell you what it was. Partially on purpose and
Speaker 1: partially a mistake, and not in that order. Um. So
Speaker 1: I ended up recording late late last night after my
Speaker 1: family was upstairs in the basement, and Jamie's not on
Speaker 1: the podcast, so I had to do it alone, do
Speaker 1: the editing, put into music after the fact, and I
Speaker 1: was half you know, exhausted from the morning show, and
Speaker 1: so I uploaded it on the software we have as
Speaker 1: a website. You have to click on the podcast you
Speaker 1: want to upload it to. And I was thinking about
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, and we normally do Brooklyn Boys, and I
Speaker 1: accidentally went into the Brooklyn Boys folder and I uploaded
Speaker 1: it and I labeled it, I created the you know,
Speaker 1: the description of the podcast, and I hit upload and
Speaker 1: I and I published it without thinking. And then when
Speaker 1: I saw it finished, I went, oh, it's on the
Speaker 1: I was so exhausted I didn't have time to do
Speaker 1: it again. You know, I again, you know what, eleven
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock at night, most people won't see it. I'm
Speaker 1: getting up for the morning show at five am, and
Speaker 1: I'll fix it in the morning. Hundred people listen to
Speaker 1: the Walkers and Talkers Podcast, episode episode one seventy two
Speaker 1: between the time I went to bed and woke up.
Speaker 1: So for all of you guys who listened by mistake,
Speaker 1: I apologize for the fans. Yeah, for those of you
Speaker 1: who kept going and listen to it, whether you're Walking
Speaker 1: Dead fans or not, I appreciate it. Um. It's normally
Speaker 1: much funnier when my co host Jamie is on UM
Speaker 1: because she says the dopeious things. So you're saying they
Speaker 1: should give you a second shot. That's because this was
Speaker 1: not your best example of Walkers. And the beauty of
Speaker 1: Jamie if you haven't heard her on the Walkers and
Speaker 1: Talkers podcast is everything she says without realizing it is
Speaker 1: a sexual innuendo. And of course I don't let any
Speaker 1: of that slip by. So if you listen, whether you
Speaker 1: like Walking Dead or not, and you should, it's a
Speaker 1: great show. We like to talk about. We like to
Speaker 1: talk about what we talk about as snappy banter. It's
Speaker 1: this stuff we talked about between the Walking Dead stuff
Speaker 1: that we life and sex and everything she says that
Speaker 1: don't make it, that doesn't make any sense because it's sexual.
Speaker 1: That's the snappy banter. I think you owe us, by
Speaker 1: the way, for a commercial for the because you're doing
Speaker 1: a commercial for Walking Dead right here on, I'm doing
Speaker 1: a commercial for Jamie and and our snappy banter on
Speaker 1: the Walkers and Doctor's podcast. That's all everybody knows who
Speaker 1: listens hashtag snappy banter, which is fine. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: know what, I might have to tune in. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize that. You know, I'm not a Walking Dead band,
Speaker 1: but I am a fan of the talking Jamie. I
Speaker 1: would say on a on a normal episode, the first
Speaker 1: five or six minutes or us just uh talking, and
Speaker 1: then usually she says something ridiculous uh, and then I go,
Speaker 1: what did you What did you just say? And she says,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And then I have to
Speaker 1: point out why she just said something that sounded very sexual,
Speaker 1: and then she lives up to it and then just
Speaker 1: goes along with it because she has no shame and
Speaker 1: no filter and she's the best to be that she's
Speaker 1: over sexed. Well see that's the thing, um, which by
Speaker 1: the way, he means really that I used the right
Speaker 1: word overset. I would say she's a very sexual, open
Speaker 1: creature who hasn't dated in a while. So, however, you
Speaker 1: want to explain that is she's over sex or under
Speaker 1: so maybe these these are subliminal things that she doesn't
Speaker 1: even realize she's saying, but her subconscious mind is coming
Speaker 1: out with these, uh you know, these innuendoes or well
Speaker 1: he's on words right well, and we make a lot
Speaker 1: of innurendo jokes on the podcast. Tune into the Walking
Speaker 1: Dead podcast Walkers and See. You knew that it would
Speaker 1: be a topic of conversation here on the Brooklyn Boys,
Speaker 1: but you quote accidentally posting the Talking Dead Walkers and
Speaker 1: Talkers pot. I would like to say it was a
Speaker 1: brilliant move, but I genuinely think you, I genuinely didn't
Speaker 1: do it on purpose. I think you slipped it in.
Speaker 1: See there you go. Now you sound like Jamie I
Speaker 1: did that on purpose. I kind of I left it.
Speaker 1: That was good. Don't leave it that I gave you.
Speaker 1: I gave you a softball, like an underhanded pitch. You
Speaker 1: have to take down the middle. You have two of them.
Speaker 1: I don't want either one of them speaking up. By
Speaker 1: the way, I want to say that is the one
Speaker 1: thing I'm missing is baseball. I am and I know
Speaker 1: the opening day was supposed to is going to was
Speaker 1: supposed to happen this coming Thursday, March for the New
Speaker 1: York Mets, the home opener, And um, that is the
Speaker 1: one thing that I was would have been looking forward
Speaker 1: to me. I would have been really you know, watching
Speaker 1: all the spring training games by now on TV and
Speaker 1: really getting into it. And if there's one thing that
Speaker 1: I'm that that's bothering me is the fact that there's
Speaker 1: none of that because because to me, that is everything. Well,
Speaker 1: that that that screams spring every year the second the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is over, I tweeted its baseball season because
Speaker 1: that's it for me and um and and for my mom.
Speaker 1: Mom and Brody loves her baseball. So we did get
Speaker 1: to watch a couple of spring training games together. Um
Speaker 1: and that then that lights up her her year when
Speaker 1: baseball starts, because she's always got the radio of the
Speaker 1: TV and it's it's a companion for her. Uh. And
Speaker 1: so that's unfortunate. You and I have a ritual to
Speaker 1: go to the the opening day, which my mom and I
Speaker 1: used to have, but it's too much of a schlept
Speaker 1: for her, as she said, as she says, yeah, now
Speaker 1: they're talking about June July, half a season. What are
Speaker 1: they even how are they going to salvage this? I
Speaker 1: don't know. And not to get too sports e technical,
Speaker 1: but a lot of times players that are going to
Speaker 1: be free agents, Um, around June or July, teams start
Speaker 1: trading those players that are gonna be free agents so
Speaker 1: that teams can make a playoff run and pick up
Speaker 1: that the last three months of a player's salary. Well,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. If the season starts and then
Speaker 1: you don't even know who's in the playoffs, They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to move the trading deadline. They're gonna have to
Speaker 1: make a lot of changes. Anyway, I was hoping that
Speaker 1: they would go through December this year. Well you know
Speaker 1: what they could do, uh and you heard it here.
Speaker 1: First is figure out who's in a pennant race by September,
Speaker 1: and then, unfortunate for the home fans, but then reschedule
Speaker 1: the games to only play in warm weather areas and
Speaker 1: indoor stadiums. So it would be unfortun in it for
Speaker 1: the Mets, let's say in New York or the Yankees,
Speaker 1: but they would have to go to a dome stadium
Speaker 1: at least play the games. So if you're a fan,
Speaker 1: do you want to sit in November cold weather where
Speaker 1: the players can't grip the baseball, or at least have
Speaker 1: your team in the playoffs if they're playing in a
Speaker 1: dome and let's say in in Toronto or Montreal or something.
Speaker 1: Is this just a Brody Bright idea or is this
Speaker 1: something that's been it was here snappy banter about Well,
Speaker 1: I would if has this been bantied about? If you
Speaker 1: back up the podcast, you would have heard me say
Speaker 1: you're hearing it here first, folks, No, that's no, that
Speaker 1: doesn't that No, no, no, that doesn't necessarily mean that
Speaker 1: you it's an original idea. I don't. Maybe you must
Speaker 1: have heard some kind of sports talk show and then
Speaker 1: you're just not gurgitating your idea. If you've stolen from Brody,
Speaker 1: you've stolen twice. See that's a joke for the Elvis
Speaker 1: Strand show. I don't. I don't tend to use other
Speaker 1: people's material or ideas without giving them credit, because I
Speaker 1: know how important it is to have ideas and how
Speaker 1: valuable they are. This is just your This is just
Speaker 1: as a as a baseball fan looking for ways to
Speaker 1: make the season go longer. Great idea. I think narrowing
Speaker 1: it down to the top. Let's say fifteen teams, Like
Speaker 1: once you're out of it. And again, if you start
Speaker 1: in June, how out of it could you be? Even
Speaker 1: if you're terrible, you're only gonna be like seven games back.
Speaker 1: But but once you once it's whittled down, I think, Dave,
Speaker 1: we need to just figure out regionally where teams are
Speaker 1: going to play indoors. Who's the commission Who's who's in
Speaker 1: charge of the league. Well, the Baseball Commissioner, yes, would
Speaker 1: have to Can we get in touch with him? I'll
Speaker 1: make some calls. Well, at least get get your idea hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I start playing for this anyway. So Rob Manford, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you want to google him, and not
Speaker 1: Joe tore I. Joe Torre was was a vice president
Speaker 1: of Baseball Operations, And no he's not a commissioner. Alright, Well, um,
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful sunny day outside right now. I cannot
Speaker 1: believe that it's March in the Northeast and it's like
Speaker 1: seventy three degrees right now out here? Doing it? Really?
Speaker 1: I know? I know they showed a live shot on
Speaker 1: the news um. By the way, watching the news is
Speaker 1: like watching a sci fi picture, like a movie, and
Speaker 1: you're like watching, going wow, okay, and the President's gonna
Speaker 1: talk and they're gonna give death counts and and virus information,
Speaker 1: and you feel like you're watching a sci fi movie.
Speaker 1: But it's the news, like it doesn't seem real, you know.
Speaker 1: And I'm watching it and they're putting up sickness counts
Speaker 1: and patience and death and and all over the globe
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, this is like this is a
Speaker 1: cool movie. It's it's terrifying here in and again here
Speaker 1: in New York. You get the president speaking, and then
Speaker 1: an hour later the governor comes on with his speech,
Speaker 1: and an hour after that the mayor does his and
Speaker 1: then oh, by the way, we're in the Tristate area,
Speaker 1: so the government New Jersey has to do an hour.
Speaker 1: So you got four hours in a row of just
Speaker 1: NonStop madness of just talking about coronavirus. And I have
Speaker 1: to tell you, yesterday I showed the TV off. Today
Speaker 1: I went back to my old ways. I'm watching it
Speaker 1: now and I'm like, why am I watching this now?
Speaker 1: Stop it iching brody and I have I have these
Speaker 1: the city bikes. A rack of city bikes literally that
Speaker 1: we're installed. Those are the paper pay per minute bikes
Speaker 1: that we haven't around Manhattan. Right, They're not into they're
Speaker 1: not Iraq bikes. They're a rack of bikes, a rack
Speaker 1: of bikes. Ye, that's what it sounded like. You're like,
Speaker 1: I have a rack bikes outside there, bag bikes from Bagdad. No,
Speaker 1: but you know, and um, nobody's riding them. Nobody's riding them.
Speaker 1: And I mean, listen, I'll go out there with some
Speaker 1: lysol wipes, wipe down a seat, wipe down, not doing
Speaker 1: not doing that. No, but first of all, they're shitting out.
Speaker 1: They're shitting out there, not stop. I mean, well you wouldn't.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't because because because the virus stays on hard
Speaker 1: services are up to three days now. They're saying, so, uh,
Speaker 1: if you can tell me no one's been on the
Speaker 1: bike for four days, I'll consider it more importantly. Scary,
Speaker 1: you should have a bike. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: don't own a bicycle. Okay, let me tell you about
Speaker 1: Scary Jones owning a bike in his adult days. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I had my I started out
Speaker 1: with a huffy. You have a huffy. Yeah I had,
Speaker 1: I had. It doesn't matter what I had. I didn't
Speaker 1: have a hun And then and then followed that by
Speaker 1: my dirt bike, the mongoose. The mongoose was the bike.
Speaker 1: And every kid that had the blue tires and the
Speaker 1: blue handlebars and the blue it was tricked out for
Speaker 1: a bike. And how many times did you ride it? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: all the time as a kid. Hold on, I'm getting there.
Speaker 1: He didn't. You didn't use the pegs. You didn't. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: little known fact. I'll tell you how I how I
Speaker 1: chipped my two front teeth or there's a little there's
Speaker 1: a there's an eternal little chip between my two front teeth.
Speaker 1: And that is because I had my buddy, My buddy
Speaker 1: sal Torto was right my bike. He and I was
Speaker 1: on my own pegs. I was on the pegs, and
Speaker 1: then I decided to I jumped off the bike. I
Speaker 1: jumped off, and then I didn't realize what forward momentum
Speaker 1: and gravity due to one. A body in motion tends
Speaker 1: to stay in motion. That's the law of inertia. I
Speaker 1: didn't understand that, didn't get to that in my classes yet.
Speaker 1: So as soon as I jumped off the bike. My
Speaker 1: body went forward and I hit the ground and my
Speaker 1: two front teeth boom hit the concorde like that, and
Speaker 1: then I never got them fixed because I never I mean,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you close your mouth when you were falling?
Speaker 1: I don't know. But anyway, the point I have a question.
Speaker 1: I have this picture of you now riding on the
Speaker 1: back of the bike like a girl on a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: Were your hands were your hands strapped across his engines?
Speaker 1: Were you're holding his his rib cage? I was holding
Speaker 1: his shoulders? Oh nice, I'm standing on the pegs holding
Speaker 1: his shoulders. I called yourself. I don't know. I called
Speaker 1: you out on this and I you said, at a
Speaker 1: mongoose with pegs, And I said pegs? We were you
Speaker 1: popping wheelies? Were you doing tricks like to try to
Speaker 1: like call you out? You're like you defended yourself by
Speaker 1: saying no. I wrote on the back while some other
Speaker 1: guy rode my bike. That was that one time? Time
Speaker 1: to illustrate the point that I had pegs on my
Speaker 1: bike the only time. The pegs on my bike are
Speaker 1: the reason why my two front teeth are chipped. Anyway, Okay,
Speaker 1: but the pegs. The pegs aren't there, so you can
Speaker 1: ride bitch on the back of a bike while your
Speaker 1: friend rides the bike. That's not what the pegs are for. That.
Speaker 1: That's like going to a gym and using the weights
Speaker 1: as paper weights. Then what's the pegs for. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: you know, do you wanna bench press? Scary? No, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take these weights and hold the door open with them.
Speaker 1: The pegs is you can you can. You can stand
Speaker 1: on them, and you can do wheelies and stuff you
Speaker 1: can do you can with them. Yeah, but I wasn't
Speaker 1: that guy. I wasn't the BMX kid. Did you have it?
Speaker 1: I was? They just have a basket on the front.
Speaker 1: Like we listened, some of us didn't have bikes, so
Speaker 1: we we gave each other lifts so they would jump
Speaker 1: on the pegs and we would ride that. We would,
Speaker 1: we would, that's what we used. Pegs. You were your
Speaker 1: own sissy bar. And by the way, google that it's
Speaker 1: not an offensive term. What is a sissy bar? Were
Speaker 1: you don't? Didn't we talk about this on the Big Show?
Speaker 1: I know we did, Yeah, like two years ago. So
Speaker 1: it's the big um upside down you or end shaped
Speaker 1: um handle on the back of the bike so that
Speaker 1: you can run, run with the bike. You can do
Speaker 1: things with it. You can put you can put your
Speaker 1: sister on the like you used to call it that
Speaker 1: you could put you, like your your sibling on the
Speaker 1: back of the seat, like if you had a banana seat,
Speaker 1: like a long seat, and they could a girlfriend. They
Speaker 1: your girlfriend, not on a little bike. I guess if
Speaker 1: you had a little girlfriend at at seven or eight,
Speaker 1: when you could lean back against it, or like your
Speaker 1: dad or your mom could hold onto it and run
Speaker 1: alongside of you. Right. I did not have a sissy
Speaker 1: bar on my goddamn mang. No, you were the sissy bar.
Speaker 1: You were the sissy bar and standing up on the pegs. Oh,
Speaker 1: come on, man, anyway, I we used to go to
Speaker 1: the trails all the time and Dyka Park in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: We used to like get into it. Man, it was great.
Speaker 1: We used to go off roading. It was awesome. Until
Speaker 1: one day someone stole my bike out of the back shed.
Speaker 1: It was locked up for for the winter, and we
Speaker 1: put it in the backyard. There was probably a friend
Speaker 1: who was riding the bike. You didn't want you on
Speaker 1: the back of it anymore. Whatever. It was scary. Have
Speaker 1: you ever been on a motorcycle? Oh? Man, this one time,
Speaker 1: my friend Tony was on a motorcycle and I was
Speaker 1: in a little red wagon and he pulled me. See
Speaker 1: that doesn't count. That's basically what you just told me. Oh,
Speaker 1: I had a mongoose and what do you do with it? Scary?
Speaker 1: I wrote on the pegs while Mike it was just
Speaker 1: it was that one time. Okay, okay, okay, but okay,
Speaker 1: but but anyway, okay, the hold on, We're getting to
Speaker 1: evolution of scary and bicycles, so I can't wait. Once
Speaker 1: that got stolen, I went to a tent speed. Now,
Speaker 1: the tent speed back in the day, how did how
Speaker 1: was your friend Tony like the tent speed was? He? Okay,
Speaker 1: ten speed was it was before those It was before
Speaker 1: the bikes got modern. So I got one of these
Speaker 1: freaking bike that was like, you know, like the three
Speaker 1: Company bike. You know when Jack Tripper in the beginnings
Speaker 1: riding on the sand that he sees a hot girl
Speaker 1: and he turns his head and then he falls into
Speaker 1: sand and then he looked up with the camera. That's reference.
Speaker 1: That's your reference to tent speed bikes. He was riding
Speaker 1: one of that. He was seventy eight television show My
Speaker 1: Bike My Tent Speed was like from that, I didn't
Speaker 1: get anything fucking new. I got used ship it was.
Speaker 1: It was the one with the unit. It was one
Speaker 1: with the like the the rams, the ram horn, the
Speaker 1: ram horn handlebars. Yeah, I still have those, man. I
Speaker 1: like the Bete for racing. You can get down lower. Well,
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, so that was that bike, and
Speaker 1: then that bike a cool stories. There were no cool
Speaker 1: school stories because when I moved to Jersey City and
Speaker 1: I never fucking used the dance thing. I used it
Speaker 1: three times and then I had to take the front
Speaker 1: wheel off to even store it in my closet. When
Speaker 1: I got to my apartment and it's set there and
Speaker 1: it collected dust. I never used again. Once I moved
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn to Jersey City, I never rode my bike
Speaker 1: because no one at that point, no one was into them.
Speaker 1: And okay, are you telling me you couldn't get your
Speaker 1: friend Tony to come over and ride it while you
Speaker 1: sat on the back of my ten speed? Yeah, get
Speaker 1: some pegs. Get some pegs for hey, Tony, come over,
Speaker 1: old time's sake. I ride on the back of your bike.
Speaker 1: Listen anyway, now with uh, you know, with with with
Speaker 1: you know, self distancing and what we're going through right now,
Speaker 1: this this period of time dealing with this pandemic. I
Speaker 1: personally I want to get back into bike riding. So
Speaker 1: all I was saying was we're doing this podcast. Well
Speaker 1: I could be outside renting a city bike and riding
Speaker 1: around Liberty State Park and seeing views of Ellis Island
Speaker 1: and the Statue of Liberty up in my face. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can get a slice to volunteer to come to
Speaker 1: your house and pedal for you, like Tony did. No,
Speaker 1: here's the problem. His name was Tony, right, it was
Speaker 1: Sal Sal Sal What was the last name. That's why
Speaker 1: I got Tony from all Right, change all those Tonies,
Speaker 1: two sALS, huge difference. Go ahead, So the same guy,
Speaker 1: you know. But but let's face it, at this point
Speaker 1: of time, you would want to ride with someone like
Speaker 1: you used to back in the day. So done wants
Speaker 1: No one wants to ride with me. All my friends,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, corona coughing is not Coughing is not
Speaker 1: one of the first symptoms. Okay, thank god. Anyway, so, so, um,
Speaker 1: you know, think of my friends now, the cast of
Speaker 1: characters that live near me in Hoboken, doddo. I got Dave.
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about Dave on the pot, sex
Speaker 1: about sex on the way to Yeah, Davi, and we
Speaker 1: we've talked about Will, who used to intern back in
Speaker 1: the day here for us, I apologize. Coughing usually dry
Speaker 1: is common first side effect. First, Yeah, sneezing is not.
Speaker 1: Sneezing is not typically a symptom of COVID nineteen. Okay, perfect,
Speaker 1: all right, so I still may have it. Great, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then and then and then you got Falco. Falco's
Speaker 1: are hired cop. And you want to talk about by
Speaker 1: the way, that his cop name like his movie cop name. No,
Speaker 1: that's his last name, of the Falco. His name is
Speaker 1: Anthony Anthony Falco. So there's the Tony. I was thinking,
Speaker 1: he's the Tony you were talking about Tony number two Falco.
Speaker 1: So Falco. You you pictured me with Falco, Dave or
Speaker 1: Will riding around the streets or riding around the park.
Speaker 1: Will maybe maybe maybe Will maybe Will. But Will's a
Speaker 1: golfer that sucks. I can't stand. I got nothing in
Speaker 1: common with golf people. Well, they stand around you got
Speaker 1: that what are we doing here? We're going on this
Speaker 1: is a tangent. What we do is what we do,
Speaker 1: what we None of this was planned. We just sat
Speaker 1: down and started recording. We really did, because we don't
Speaker 1: have an agenda. All my jokes, all my jokes, and
Speaker 1: my material is is the radio station. Oh, some day
Speaker 1: you think the slices will get the A material. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get some big fanfare music later a gentleman here
Speaker 1: comes the A material. Yeah. And we're gonna apologize here
Speaker 1: in advance. We don't have any sound effects. We have
Speaker 1: nothing for you. Well, we have the we have the
Speaker 1: opening and closing music, and I think there's a couple
Speaker 1: of the things we might have, but there's some things
Speaker 1: we don't have. So um anyway, So so, because our
Speaker 1: lives have been taken over by this, UM, I really
Speaker 1: haven't had some true to life experiences that usually I
Speaker 1: would come to the podcast with and present. Although I
Speaker 1: know somehow, some way, Brodie, you had a run in
Speaker 1: with some bad customer service person and you made him
Speaker 1: feel like well, at some point, oh, I absolutely did.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get to that right now, but
Speaker 1: remind me we're going to talk about Walgreens that was
Speaker 1: we've talked about on the podcast before because as you know,
Speaker 1: our company forced us to switch to Walgreens for our pharmaceuticals. Right,
Speaker 1: and if you and if you don't know, you gotta listen,
Speaker 1: you gotta gotta listen to Speaking of listening, it's just
Speaker 1: an observation. Uh, and only the slices that are listening
Speaker 1: to this episod so it can explain it. Um, but
Speaker 1: the last three episodes of our podcast are down in
Speaker 1: listenership a decent amount, and so Scary has explained. You
Speaker 1: think it's because of the virus, and I'm thinking because
Speaker 1: they're not in their usual routine and not commuting and
Speaker 1: not driving. I just think that people's heads are in
Speaker 1: other places. I thought if I was a betting man,
Speaker 1: you know that people would listen to the podcast more
Speaker 1: because they're going stir crazy in their house. So hopefully
Speaker 1: that you're listening to this things are going well in
Speaker 1: your life and you're sort of gotten some normalcy back. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not someone who listens to podcast
Speaker 1: when they're trapped in your house. But anyway, that being said, uh,
Speaker 1: if you listen in order, then you know about the
Speaker 1: Walgreens issue. But our company. Uh, just to recap in
Speaker 1: case you're new to the podcast, Welcome aboard UM. Our
Speaker 1: company decided our our HR department to sign a contract
Speaker 1: with Walgreens for three years. Where we used to be
Speaker 1: able to go to any pharmacy, we now have to
Speaker 1: go to Walgreens because they worked at a deal where
Speaker 1: it save us money. So let me just say, I
Speaker 1: used to pay three dollars and fifty cents for this
Speaker 1: one prescription I take, and when I went to Walgreens,
Speaker 1: the genius who worked out this deal for us, I
Speaker 1: paid thirteen dollars and fifty cents. So I'm not sure
Speaker 1: where the savings is, but that isn't my complaint. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to update you that the big to do contract,
Speaker 1: I ended up paying more for the first thing I
Speaker 1: went for, uh, three times as much money for the
Speaker 1: thing I was supposed to save money on. And as
Speaker 1: a reminder, or if it's the first time you're hearing this,
Speaker 1: the guy who signed that deal signed it with Walgreens,
Speaker 1: quit our company so I can't yell at him, and
Speaker 1: now works for Walgreens. So he's a genius. He's a genius. UM.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second, you're Walgreens. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's spen the wheel of his it's been
Speaker 1: the wheel of bad customer service. Well, get to that.
Speaker 1: Why did you have something? No, it's always for you.
Speaker 1: It's always it's always like uh, a company like you know,
Speaker 1: CVS or Walgreens or some kind of a big box store.
Speaker 1: I had a problem with direct TV, also t V
Speaker 1: e ups, FedEx. You know the mailing systems. You know
Speaker 1: you never had it. You've never heard you with an
Speaker 1: Amazon rant. I guess them does the right thing. No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I've complained about Amazon, but only to
Speaker 1: tell you how they made good good for it? No, right,
Speaker 1: didn't know they always have happy endings. Yeah, although you
Speaker 1: know you have happy endings. I have to what No, nothing, okay, Jamie.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna pull a talking Jamie on me. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: your podcast partner, yes, uh no. What I was going
Speaker 1: to say was, um, I miss Amazon right now because
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hesitant to order anything I don't need because
Speaker 1: I don't want it. First of all, I don't want
Speaker 1: to wait a week, and second of all, I don't
Speaker 1: want to back them up anymore than they already are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're busy with other things. Right, So if I need
Speaker 1: a cable of some kind, like a computer cable or something,
Speaker 1: I feel like a loader on e Bay and I'll
Speaker 1: just wait rather than do like a two day thing,
Speaker 1: because it's not gonna be two day anyway. Um. So
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to hold back on my
Speaker 1: frivolous Amazon purchases. Um. I did want to tell you though,
Speaker 1: just what I do. I am gonna be wiping my
Speaker 1: ask with coffee filters very soon because I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't one of the people who got in on the
Speaker 1: toilet paper raid and the store downstairs doesn't have it.
Speaker 1: I you know what. I knew it was going on,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, these idiots, what's everybody? What's everybody buying
Speaker 1: cases of toilet paper? But here's and I'm like, they'll
Speaker 1: be restocked in a week or two And here we
Speaker 1: are a week or two later and the shells are
Speaker 1: still empty. Well here's what happened. Uh, it was a
Speaker 1: self fulfilling prophecy. Everyone was buying. So everyone started buying,
Speaker 1: you know, right, people seeing monkey see monkey doods. What
Speaker 1: you're saying like people seeing people buying like oh I
Speaker 1: need that too. Nothing. Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, that's why. That's why some restaurants, and
Speaker 1: you know, there's some restaurants and some clubs will pay
Speaker 1: people to wait online or to eat there so it
Speaker 1: looks crowded and you're like, whoa, what's that crowd by
Speaker 1: that club? I gotta get in there. And it's all
Speaker 1: it's all actors. We've talked about that. How they put
Speaker 1: all the you know, the hot models in a club,
Speaker 1: ten girls and one guy. Anytime you see ten girls
Speaker 1: and one guy at dinner together or in a club
Speaker 1: or a bar, it's it's they're paid. They're paid to
Speaker 1: be there, and they're drinking from the all night. And
Speaker 1: I don't want to get political, but a guy who
Speaker 1: ran for president three years ago, it's a known fact
Speaker 1: he paid actors to show up to his announcement by
Speaker 1: by his escalator. So but you know what, but the
Speaker 1: crowd made it look good. So I get it. I
Speaker 1: get why you know you might want to do that. Um.
Speaker 1: I did have an interesting conversation with someone I was
Speaker 1: volunteering at my daughter's school, uh two weeks ago, but
Speaker 1: I didn't have a chance to mention on the last podcast. Uh.
Speaker 1: So they put me at a volunteer table and I
Speaker 1: introduced myself to the three women sitting at the table.
Speaker 1: I said, Hi, my name is David. And then the
Speaker 1: woman says, Hi, I'm Denise. This Deirdre, and that's Nicole.
Speaker 1: So I said, oh, David, Denise, Deirdro Nicole. I said, Nicole,
Speaker 1: you're the only one without a D initial in your name.
Speaker 1: She was, oh, you can call in that case, I'll
Speaker 1: change it. You can call me dick hole. And I said,
Speaker 1: and I started laughing, and and so the other women
Speaker 1: didn't understand why it was funny. And Nicole looked at
Speaker 1: me and she's like, what I said, Maybe we shouldn't
Speaker 1: use that name. She's like, why, what's wrong with Nicole?
Speaker 1: And so, you know, they didn't get the wait hold on.
Speaker 1: They spent the whole time despite the fact that your
Speaker 1: laugh made them all analyzed, you know, get it now.
Speaker 1: So Denise and Deirdre were older moms, older than I was.
Speaker 1: If I had, if I had to guess, maybe by
Speaker 1: a little maybe not, I don't know. But Nicole was
Speaker 1: She was a college student that was helping out at
Speaker 1: the at the school, and so she's the one going,
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Nicole. I don't get it. Nicole
Speaker 1: is not a word. And I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: she keeps saying dick hole and she doesn't realize that. Ye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I didn't just leave it there. Uh what was
Speaker 1: that delayed by the way, Um, I was trying to well,
Speaker 1: I had to phrase what I was saying, so uh no,
Speaker 1: I said, so I looked. I went, all right, Dicole,
Speaker 1: we'll call you. That not a problem. So I didn't
Speaker 1: end up telling her until the end of the day,
Speaker 1: like three hours later, because I didn't want to say
Speaker 1: it in front of the moms because I thought they
Speaker 1: were like, not the type to find it amusing. You
Speaker 1: know your audience. That wasn't them. They are not slices
Speaker 1: for life. Um, absolutely not. What are you doing? I'm

Speaker 1: my parents as well. But my brother and my sister. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're social distancing from your parents by their choice,

Speaker 1: established that, I know, but no, but this week I
Speaker 1: wanted to go see them and and you know, kind
Speaker 1: of corning them at home. But now I'm like, what if?
Speaker 1: What if I'm asymptomatic and I have it? You know,
Speaker 1: so you know, so I don't know, let's not have symptoms.
Speaker 1: My brother is a newborn, my sister is a newborn basically,
Speaker 1: and both of them, I don't want to pass it
Speaker 1: along to them. It's just, you know, there's bad situations
Speaker 1: all around. Not even seeing my girlfriend it's like four
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Now she's I'm seeing us, so
Speaker 1: it's all right. She's fine. Tell you what, though, this
Speaker 1: is not good. This is not good because we we
Speaker 1: had that, remember we were supposed to do that. Chefs
Speaker 1: for Kids Cancer event, and that got that got postponed
Speaker 1: a few weeks back. At the end of those dinners,
Speaker 1: they give you giant, a giant um jar of cookies,
Speaker 1: homemade cookies from different restaurants, made by pastry chefs all
Speaker 1: around Manhattan, and and so, because they didn't have the event,
Speaker 1: they brought the cookies up to the radio station and
Speaker 1: they said, you know what, We've got like nine thousand cookies,
Speaker 1: and and they sold them for a good cause. So
Speaker 1: we gave money back to Cookies for Kids Cancer by
Speaker 1: buying the cookies and then having a fundraiser on the
Speaker 1: air to sell those jars of cookies because they were
Speaker 1: all going to go to waste because the event never happened.
Speaker 1: So I thought I'd be the cool boyfriend said, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna buy fifty cookies. And I and
Speaker 1: and I bought fifty freaking cookies. I put it in
Speaker 1: a big bag and I said, I'm gonna get a jar,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna next time I see my girlfriend, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give her a jar full of the cookies because
Speaker 1: she loved that event the same way that I do.
Speaker 1: And you do, Brodie, And I gotta be honest I
Speaker 1: haven't seen her since. So what have I been doing?
Speaker 1: Every three four hours, I go into the big bag
Speaker 1: and I eat a cookie. And this has been like
Speaker 1: this now for two weeks. Yeah, the cookies left out
Speaker 1: of fifty I've eaten a lot this, you know that
Speaker 1: that that third fourth quarter skiy that we talked about.
Speaker 1: I think he's coming. I think he's coming in the
Speaker 1: first quarter because I'm sitting here and all I'm doing
Speaker 1: is eating. Yeah. Well, I got Chinese food yesterday for
Speaker 1: three people that were right, And then when I got home,
Speaker 1: two of them said, oh, we didn't want Chinese food.
Speaker 1: We're good. So now I've got Chinese food for three,
Speaker 1: all for me. So I've been Chinese fooding it all
Speaker 1: day today. So, you know, worse than cookies. And this
Speaker 1: new place opened up a couple of days ago, actually
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, called the Pastrami House. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Brod, he's got your name written all over it.
Speaker 1: They got all the Jewish delicate because because I'm a Jew,
Speaker 1: I got it. No, because you love you love a
Speaker 1: Yiddish food. It's not Yiddish food. Oh Hebrews, sorry you
Speaker 1: like Hebrew. No, it's Jewish food. It's Jewish hitting. That's
Speaker 1: a joke. Anyway. They sell everything, by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: burping up astramia right now. It's members of the media. Food. Um,
Speaker 1: here's a here's a helpful hint, members of the media. Food.
Speaker 1: Helpful hint. Whenever you're whenever you go to a deli
Speaker 1: or any place, and again, this place has brisket, pastrami,
Speaker 1: corned beef. When don't get the sandwich, here's what you do.
Speaker 1: Buy it by the pound. You buy it by the pounds,
Speaker 1: break and then you buy the bread or you say,
Speaker 1: kind of a couple of slices of rye bread and
Speaker 1: then and then you make your own sandwiches of course, right, well,
Speaker 1: I know that's what I'm talking to here, I know,
Speaker 1: but I said something. This is a helpful hit for
Speaker 1: our listener, right, get bread, slice slices, Get the bread slices.
Speaker 1: If you if you have an option to buy anything
Speaker 1: by the pound, buy it by the pound. And then
Speaker 1: even if it's not offered on the menu, say andy,
Speaker 1: buy it by the pound. Sure, let them do it,
Speaker 1: and then you and then you make your own. Because
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, what comes in a sandwich is
Speaker 1: about an eighth of the amount that I got. And
Speaker 1: by the way, they don't have scales there because they
Speaker 1: definitely gave me two pounds of brisket and two pounds
Speaker 1: of astronomy. There's no way that was a pound each.
Speaker 1: Because I now have brisket and pastronomy for days. I
Speaker 1: wish you were here to help me finish it. That's
Speaker 1: how much I have left over. Dude. Ah, that sounds
Speaker 1: so good. Hey. By the way, yeah, Um, I put
Speaker 1: up a post on my Instagram, right, and um it's
Speaker 1: uh it's a listing of what's closed in the New
Speaker 1: York and New Jersey area. Now it's not what's not
Speaker 1: everything that's closed, it's everything that's been closed as of today.
Speaker 1: So Governor Cuomo, New York's Governor Cuomo uh closed some
Speaker 1: more things today, right, um, and made some new recommendations
Speaker 1: and right, but it's not a list of everything that's closed.
Speaker 1: So everyone's asking me, now our post office is open? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know what about funeral homes? Uh? You know I
Speaker 1: forced closed? No, no, Mike, yes, some things are forced closed. Well, well,
Speaker 1: I mean bars, restaurants. And my point, my point is
Speaker 1: they're asking me like, rather like google it or go
Speaker 1: on the neighborhood. Brodie, I'm trying to be helpful. I
Speaker 1: want to be helpful, but my point is I don't
Speaker 1: want to give incorrect information for every single thing that
Speaker 1: you're asking about. But you've got all the answers to everything, Brodie,
Speaker 1: while I am answering them back. I do have the
Speaker 1: answers to these questions. I just think if you have
Speaker 1: like real important questions to ask about this coronavirus situation. Uh, Like,
Speaker 1: somebody texted into the Morning Show and I mentioned this
Speaker 1: on the fifty minute Morning Show, and they said, I'm pregnant,
Speaker 1: Is it okay? You know how? How is my immune system?
Speaker 1: Is it okay for me to go out? And so
Speaker 1: I wrote back, you really should talk to your obstetrician, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think the Elvis Red Morning Show is who
Speaker 1: you want to go to for medical advice. So people
Speaker 1: are coming to us with those questions. You know, Hey,
Speaker 1: can I go to the beach? Well, you can go
Speaker 1: to the beach, but I'm not saying that's a smart move. Now,
Speaker 1: if the beach is completely empty, you're not gonna get
Speaker 1: coronavirus from the sand. But if this beaches are packed,
Speaker 1: the people no do not go to the beach social
Speaker 1: distancing and please don't don't send us. You know, you
Speaker 1: really should call it um public distancing physical listening, right
Speaker 1: because we still should be social with people. I know,
Speaker 1: but somebody already made the term up. It's too late
Speaker 1: now we get it, you know, but you can't undo it.
Speaker 1: You can't unring a bell. We're calling it social distancing.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's not the name I would have come
Speaker 1: up with. I would have called it keeping the funk
Speaker 1: away from me. Ish yeah, out, you know, I still
Speaker 1: I know by the way I noticed throughout all this
Speaker 1: you you still found it in the kindness of your
Speaker 1: heart to correct people's grammar on Twitter this week? Did
Speaker 1: I uh? Was it Twitter? As someone said, or we're
Speaker 1: listeners now correcting grammar for you? But I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the text message this morning. Somebody is
Speaker 1: on the Elvis Durant fan page on Facebook that we
Speaker 1: don't run and then correcting everybody's grammar. So what I
Speaker 1: wrote back was because say we're complaining about it, I said,
Speaker 1: tell that person not to do it, because they said
Speaker 1: Elvis would want me to correct you. I said, tell
Speaker 1: them on our behalf do not correct people's grammar, especially
Speaker 1: when people are going through enough ship right now? So
Speaker 1: wait where we have, Um, there's a fan there's a no,
Speaker 1: there's a listener run fan page. I think there's I
Speaker 1: think there's actually two of them. One of them is
Speaker 1: like an uncensored version that the point is somebody's correcting grammar,
Speaker 1: and I'm all about that normally, but I will tell
Speaker 1: you I did correct. I did correct someone's grammar. Um
Speaker 1: who was I speaking to? Oh? Crap? Oh like I
Speaker 1: called Geico? Um, I had a I had a better
Speaker 1: get Geico for your money. Money. So I was talking
Speaker 1: to Geico and they were explaining to me why the
Speaker 1: old car I bought from my daughter or older car
Speaker 1: I brought from my daughter, which she's not even driving yet,
Speaker 1: is more money in some categories than my two newer cars.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why is roadside assistance eleven dollars and for
Speaker 1: my other two cars four dollars and fifty cents. So
Speaker 1: she says, well, according to the VIN numbers on the cars.
Speaker 1: So I let one go and she says, um, you
Speaker 1: know the safety features are much more improved. Your car
Speaker 1: is more likely to break down because it's older. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: and uh and why is um? Why is comprehensive more
Speaker 1: money comprehensive? As if if I crashed my car, how
Speaker 1: much they'll cover on the damage of my car? I said,
Speaker 1: my car is not worth as much. Why is it
Speaker 1: more money than my wife's car, which is a newer car. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, according to your VEN number, I went on.
Speaker 1: She said, that car doesn't have the safety features your
Speaker 1: wife's car has. Did you throw in a GPS system
Speaker 1: for good measure? Right? Right? And so? So I said, look, um,
Speaker 1: my Dodge Charger has more safety features than all three cars,
Speaker 1: yet it's the most money. Well, so that's a sports car.
Speaker 1: And according to your VEINN number, I said, I gotta
Speaker 1: stop you there, I gotta stop you there. Please just
Speaker 1: say VIN please? And she said why. I said, because
Speaker 1: VIN stands for Vehicle Identification number. You're already saying number.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, it's just I don't mean to be,
Speaker 1: you know, painting the butt. It's just kind of getting
Speaker 1: to me. And I got enough stress in my life,
Speaker 1: thank you. So she's like, I like, she was stop thrilled.
Speaker 1: So then I started talking to her more about the cars,
Speaker 1: and I said, the older car, I got from my daughter. Um,
Speaker 1: has the same safety features as my wife's car. It's
Speaker 1: all wheel drive, blind spot monitoring, air bags, h front
Speaker 1: crash warning, lane departure. Yeah, but it's older, I know,
Speaker 1: but uh, it's the same features. Well, but again it
Speaker 1: goes by VIN number. Hey, didn't we have an agreement?
Speaker 1: She was VIN. So for the rest of the call,
Speaker 1: she said VIN. But I was going crazy. Now somebody
Speaker 1: tweeted me, Um, you know what, I gotta look up
Speaker 1: what it's called. What it's abbreviated for. Hold on p PE. No, No, no,
Speaker 1: hold on p E E. Nope, that's p P P
Speaker 1: p PE. Here, you gotta personal protective equipment. Okay, no,
Speaker 1: so everybody's abbreviated with I'm done with people p PE.
Speaker 1: So they keep they keep referring to masks and uh,
Speaker 1: safety equipment for medical staff person. They keep referring to
Speaker 1: it as PPE equipment, but the E is for equipment,
Speaker 1: so it's just PPE or PP equipment. I would love,
Speaker 1: I would love for them to call it PP equipment. Oh,
Speaker 1: the hospitals don't have enough equipment. I think that's why
Speaker 1: they don't do that, because they don't want people making
Speaker 1: jokes like that. Right, I think like seven year olds.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's something that just I popped into
Speaker 1: my head, um that you we you mentioned, uh the
Speaker 1: we that Elvis Duran facebook page where people are correcting grammar.
Speaker 1: We're not really active parts of that, but I think
Speaker 1: I might, I might be a follower of it, whatever,
Speaker 1: but I don't look at it what I would like.
Speaker 1: Since people are in this time of self quarantine and
Speaker 1: they're looking for new habits to get into and new
Speaker 1: things to discover, why not post a link of the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys podcast as Brodie passes the funk out over

Speaker 1: hate comments and then delete those you're an industrator, if
Speaker 1: you're an admin, delete them anyway. That that's all I
Speaker 1: got for you for the moment. We're gonna do a
Speaker 1: rant coming up right right after this. All right, so
Speaker 1: real quick, let's wrap this up. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: what happened to Walgreens? Um, you would think that medical
Speaker 1: professionals would be medically professional, would you not? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean it says it in the name, right. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I go to the Walgreens in my general area because,
Speaker 1: as I pointed out, I think previously there are no
Speaker 1: Walgreens in my area, okay, which is another reason why
Speaker 1: I'm pissed that I have to go to Walgreens. Nothing
Speaker 1: against Walgreens, although you know they did give us the
Speaker 1: infamous UM may help the uh the following customer. So
Speaker 1: I go to the draw I threw, I pull up
Speaker 1: and the guy says, how can I help you? It's
Speaker 1: my first time going to this location. So I tell
Speaker 1: him who you know? My nick in my name and UH.
Speaker 1: I tell him the prescription I'm picking up. He says,
Speaker 1: I need your medical card, so I give him the
Speaker 1: medical card and my Health Savings Account credit card. The
Speaker 1: drawer opens up and it comes out of the wall,
Speaker 1: and in this long drawer is a one ft wide
Speaker 1: plastic blue I guess you'd call it a bucket, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of room behind the bucket because the
Speaker 1: drawer is about two ft long. When it comes out
Speaker 1: to your window. And this bucket is maybe a foot
Speaker 1: wide left to right, and from me to him it's
Speaker 1: about I don't know, three inches wide. Okay. So he says,
Speaker 1: put your cards in the bucket. So I dropped the
Speaker 1: two cards. I'll let him go into the bucket. He
Speaker 1: pulls them inside, and he's looking at my cards and
Speaker 1: he's entering information. And I notice he's not wearing gloves. Now,
Speaker 1: first of all, you're a pharmacist, right, you're in the
Speaker 1: medical profession. You're handling my things. You should have gloves on. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I don't say anything about that. What am I
Speaker 1: gonna do at this point? By the way, then I
Speaker 1: talked about the ice cream place in my neighborhood. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna backtrack for a second. There's an ice cream
Speaker 1: place in my neighborhood. They have homemade ice cream. It's delicious.
Speaker 1: I've been going there since I since I live here
Speaker 1: a long time. So Friday night, I decide, you know what, um,
Speaker 1: this is before the lockdown and the businesses were open.
Speaker 1: So I went before they closed, UM to get some
Speaker 1: take out ice cream. So I pull up and I
Speaker 1: get the spot right in front of the glass doors.
Speaker 1: So I can see right into the business. It's in
Speaker 1: a strip mall, and I look and the kid behind
Speaker 1: the counter is scooping ice cream. He's not wearing gloves.
Speaker 1: So I get back at my car and I get
Speaker 1: right out of there. Actually I didn't get out of
Speaker 1: the car because I can see through my windshield, so
Speaker 1: I turned turned the car. I'm good, Listen, you should
Speaker 1: have was on scoop and ice cream. No matter what
Speaker 1: I think, I'm going to head out. But if you
Speaker 1: got the coronavirus, are you SpongeBob right? If you got there,
Speaker 1: you Homer Homer Simpson fading backwards into the bushes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you've got the coronavirus pandemic going on in the country,
Speaker 1: and I don't need your your virus knuckles dragging in
Speaker 1: my pistachio ice cream. So uh. And then the kicker
Speaker 1: is this This company posts on Facebook how they're you know,
Speaker 1: they're not doing well and they need they need people
Speaker 1: to come there, and they've got a kickstarter, and so
Speaker 1: I feel like calling them and going, hey, maybe if
Speaker 1: the kids wore gloves during a pandemic, your business might
Speaker 1: not be suffering. Like, doesn't that make no sense at all?
Speaker 1: That that you're not telling your employees who should be
Speaker 1: wearing gloves anyway during like never mind the pandemic, but
Speaker 1: like you know, I don't know if ice cream transfers disease,
Speaker 1: but I'm not taking that chance anyway. Back to Walgreens, okay. Um,
Speaker 1: So he gets my prescription and now it's in like
Speaker 1: a little stapled white bag. He puts the stapled white
Speaker 1: bag into a Walgreen's plastic bag. He puts the plastic
Speaker 1: bag in the drawer, right, and the draw opens. I
Speaker 1: take the bag from behind the blue bin and I say, um,
Speaker 1: I look in the bag. I said, where's my credit
Speaker 1: card and my when where's my medical card? He says, oh,
Speaker 1: they're in the blue bin. Oh. So I look at him.
Speaker 1: I go, I said, excuse me, and he walks away.
Speaker 1: So I reach into the bin, in the bin that
Speaker 1: everybody's been touching, the filthy blue bin, right the the
Speaker 1: virus bait away, which, by the way, if you think
Speaker 1: about that bin, it's all sick people that go up
Speaker 1: to that bin there prescriptions. You all have a million
Speaker 1: different diseases us, right, that is like the filthiest bin
Speaker 1: in the entire store, because that's where people come from
Speaker 1: their their pharmaceuticals, right, So so I take my cards
Speaker 1: and I have have I have, I have, I have
Speaker 1: sanitary wipes in my car, and I white. I wiped
Speaker 1: down my credit card and I and I wiped down
Speaker 1: my fingers and I'm all grossed out. So now I'm
Speaker 1: sitting in the drive through. He's already talking to somebody
Speaker 1: else who's back is to me. There's a car behind me,
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting. He's
Speaker 1: not turning around. I blow my horn. He says, yes,
Speaker 1: can help you. I said, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: You know there's a pandemic right now, right, He says, well,
Speaker 1: of course, I said. So first of all, why aren't
Speaker 1: you wearing gloves? He says, Oh, I just took them off.
Speaker 1: I had to change pairs. I'm putting another pair on.
Speaker 1: I said, well you you didn't. You didn't change gloves?
Speaker 1: Um uh, And how could you forget to change you
Speaker 1: put gloves on? You're touching my stuff. He's I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 1: I said, there's no vaccine for your sorry, like I said,
Speaker 1: And let me ask you another question. How come you
Speaker 1: didn't put my credit cards in the bag with my prescription.
Speaker 1: He says, why would I do that? I said, because
Speaker 1: you put him in the virus bucket and I had
Speaker 1: to read. And you know how like when something is flat,
Speaker 1: like a credit card and it's on the floor, you
Speaker 1: have to like feel around and like pinch it up,
Speaker 1: like yes, yeah, because you've actually feel around, you can't
Speaker 1: get a grip on right. It's not like it's not
Speaker 1: like it's an apple sitting in there. You can grab
Speaker 1: the apple by the sides. It's a flat credit card. Um,
Speaker 1: you dig your fucking fingernails into the virus bin right exactly.
Speaker 1: So he's so, I said, hey, I have an idea.
Speaker 1: How about next time? Uh you um, you know, you
Speaker 1: put it in the in the bag with my stuff.
Speaker 1: And he says, oh, that's a good idea. That's a
Speaker 1: good idea. Hey, hey, Captain contagious, how about you put
Speaker 1: the stuff in the bag and use your brain. You're
Speaker 1: a pharmaceutical guy, you're a medical professional. Why am I
Speaker 1: telling you how to be safe around the sick people.
Speaker 1: That's your fucking job. You have one job, protect people
Speaker 1: and keep them healthy. Your job isn't to make me sick.
Speaker 1: So I have to come back and buy more prescription
Speaker 1: drugs from you. Watch I'm on, we're paying for I
Speaker 1: paid less at CVS. So fuck my company for making
Speaker 1: me go to Walgreens. Fuck the guy who made me
Speaker 1: write that. He wrote that contract, and then Quentin went
Speaker 1: to work for Walgreens, And fuck you and the and
Speaker 1: the drive through Walgreens for putting my ship in the
Speaker 1: virus bin. He's he's a bad as much as much
Speaker 1: of a medical professional as those Keels employees are wearing
Speaker 1: those lab coats and then they're scientists. Yeah, this guy,
Speaker 1: this guy, you know Keel, you Keels products. They fucking
Speaker 1: looked apart. Every employee is wearing like a fucking lab coat.
Speaker 1: And you walk in and you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: these people must be in the back laboratory, you know,
Speaker 1: mixing up atoms and molecules to make the finest in
Speaker 1: in body washes and scrubs and shaving cream. Uh No,
Speaker 1: that's your that's your outfits, your uniform, and that's the
Speaker 1: thing they seem to you're getting your Walgreens. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: we're getting medical profess You know where this guy's you
Speaker 1: know where this guy should work with no gloves in
Speaker 1: the ice cream store near my house. That's what he's
Speaker 1: qualified for. So hopefully this guy and the car behind
Speaker 1: me didn't put the stuff cards in the blue bin
Speaker 1: of death anymore. So, you know, f you will, I
Speaker 1: didn't get his name. I should have gotten his name,
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna call him Wally. F you Wally,
Speaker 1: Wally Green. Yeah, Wally Green. He's a jew? Yeah you Green?
Speaker 1: He wasn't a Jew. I can be sure that. All right. Listen,
