Speaker 1: Guess who just got back today.
Speaker 2: The Brooklyn Boys that had been away. They both have
Speaker 2: so much to see, you know. Their name is a
Speaker 2: Brilliance Skir and the Boys of Frass.
Speaker 1: Episode to eighty. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. New for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, new and improved, larger size.
Speaker 3: What are we doing?
Speaker 1: We can't promise that cleaning ingredients, cannot promise that with
Speaker 1: extra borac.
Speaker 3: Now what do we have?
Speaker 1: Not even making any resolutions around here? New fresh scent,
Speaker 1: not packaging. Yeah, you know what, you pay more and
Speaker 1: it got smaller. Right, that's because that Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that's what she said. Wait a minute, that's how life
Speaker 1: goes with everything. Oh, you were doing a shorter podcasting
Speaker 1: on you pay more for it, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: twenty percent more of free is still free.
Speaker 3: Still a free podcast, right, that's right.
Speaker 1: While other podcasts decided to go behind a Patreon wall
Speaker 1: or make you pay for play, we.
Speaker 3: Are still no.
Speaker 4: We gave you an extra release a week, so make
Speaker 4: sure you guys, if you haven't checked it out, please
Speaker 4: check out Slice Time, our companion podcast, which is talkbacks
Speaker 4: from you guys.
Speaker 1: And hopefully next the next time we do Slice Time,
Speaker 1: the actual talkbacks will not be eraised like the ones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the last ones were, but we're figuring that out
Speaker 1: in the background. So yeah, it is a new year,
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, I'm so happy for it because I
Speaker 1: had a really shitty end to twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: You know, I talked about this on the Big Show.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you realized, but we said on
Speaker 1: December fourteenth, last podcast, whenever that was, we were you know,
Speaker 1: we we were done for the year. And then we
Speaker 1: were actually Brodie and I were actually gonna come back
Speaker 1: in during the end of December and do another episode.
Speaker 1: We figured why don't we throw We were gonna we
Speaker 1: were gonna throw a bonus. That was the plan. That
Speaker 1: was the plan. That was the plan. But on the
Speaker 1: morning of December seventeenth, my mom passed away and got
Speaker 1: very emotional about it on the Big Show, talked about
Speaker 1: it with Elvis and everybody, and I'm just gonna like
Speaker 1: lay it out right here because I wanted because there
Speaker 1: are people that listen to this podcast that do not
Speaker 1: listen to Elvis Durant. So so my mom was lost
Speaker 1: her battle to leukemia. But it was a rare a
Speaker 1: rare form of leukemia, which was diagnosed back in June,
Speaker 1: and two percent of people that get leukemia each year
Speaker 1: get this specific one. It's called TPLL has to do
Speaker 1: with Tasa ells. I'm not going to get, you know,
Speaker 1: into into the weeds about it, but you know, when
Speaker 1: we when she found we found out she had it,
Speaker 1: that was the first thing we did. We we googled
Speaker 1: what is this, what's the prognosis, and what's the outlook,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we could not find.
Speaker 3: That that positive article.
Speaker 1: Most people that get diagnosed with this, they're with you
Speaker 1: for like seven months to maybe a year and a.
Speaker 3: Half at best.
Speaker 1: There's no chemotherapy for it, but there are these immunotherapy
Speaker 1: drugs at which she went on and is shows short
Speaker 1: term hope, which you know eventually she she she got
Speaker 1: on this medication. So that's why along the summer and fall,
Speaker 1: even though we were upset and grieving in the background,
Speaker 1: there was a chance that that she might have pulled
Speaker 1: through because after after taking this this drug every week,
Speaker 1: she was able to get back into remission as most
Speaker 1: people do.
Speaker 3: Again, this is textbook. It goes on. All the articles
Speaker 3: say the same thing.
Speaker 1: And in that window there's a chance that you can
Speaker 1: get stem cell transplant and then go through that and
Speaker 1: then that's the path to a cure. It's the only
Speaker 1: path and it's the only option. So we were hopeful
Speaker 1: that stem cell was going to be the case.
Speaker 3: We were.
Speaker 1: My brother, my sister, and I were all matches for it,
Speaker 1: and we all we were all qualified, and of course
Speaker 1: each one of us were raising our hand to do
Speaker 1: it. It was scheduled for the end of October, and so
Speaker 1: in the end of September when my mom was in
Speaker 1: remission and was ready to go somewhere in the coming weeks.
Speaker 1: She didn't have three four or five months before it
Speaker 1: came back.
Speaker 3: It came back. The cancer came back after she was
Speaker 3: admitted to the.
Speaker 1: Hospital for pneumonia, and then she had and they found
Speaker 1: she had a relapse. Right then, now we were out
Speaker 1: of options because you can't have stem cell if you're
Speaker 1: in a relapse situation. There was a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of grieving, a lot of a lot of crying,
Speaker 1: a lot of uh making preparations in the background. It
Speaker 1: was a lot well, we all knew, we all knew
Speaker 1: this was going to happen. So, you know, it's been
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks, so I'm a little better
Speaker 1: about talking about it, but I was a mess obviously,
Speaker 1: So so during that week, I disappeared from the morning show,
Speaker 1: needed some time, and then we went into.
Speaker 3: A two week break.
Speaker 1: So I basically we did what we had to do
Speaker 1: with There's still a lot of family business at home
Speaker 1: going on tomorrow. I'm going to see my dad anyway.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, a lot of people were involved in
Speaker 1: two major hospitals, and the heads of those hospitals that
Speaker 1: are the best at what they do in the industry
Speaker 1: got involved with advice Hackensack Meridian Guy doctor doctor Gua
Speaker 1: g o Y. People come from around the world to
Speaker 1: see this guy and he has specialized in this TPLLL rare.
Speaker 1: Uh he was giving advice to my mom's doctor. Doctor
Speaker 1: Hey at NYU leng go Like this is how involved
Speaker 1: it was. So but we thought we tried. I I
Speaker 1: mean I was on the phone day and night. I
Speaker 1: was relentless, couldn't find an answer. There's no answer to
Speaker 1: this one. So so yeah, So my mom it was
Speaker 1: her birthday this past Wednesday. Uh, Mom, Roseanne Scary, I
Speaker 1: love you, and she's in heaven listening.
Speaker 3: She loves she loved the podcast. You know she loves you, Brody,
Speaker 3: she said, Brody and Scary. First, yes, you have that
Speaker 3: on tape.
Speaker 1: You listen to you listen, But you know I'm now
Speaker 1: and now going forward here, I'm really concerned about, you know,
Speaker 1: my dad, who has a very strong network of friends.
Speaker 3: By the way, he's always out.
Speaker 1: He's always been out to dinner and I was out
Speaker 1: to breakfast and he has not stopped that.
Speaker 3: I keep checking in on him.
Speaker 4: You know, I got the chance to go to Brooklyn
Speaker 4: to go to the wake for your family and see
Speaker 4: everybody and see you know, you sister and your brother
Speaker 4: and everybody, and I went to the funeral. H So
Speaker 4: both times I went to Brooklyn, I did stop at
Speaker 4: pizza places, in Chinese restaurants.
Speaker 3: I did make it a double shot, of course, you
Speaker 3: know priorities.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 4: But your dad, your dad is so you were at
Speaker 4: We're at the wake, and there were a lot of
Speaker 4: people that at Scary's father didn't know he knows me,
Speaker 4: of course, right, but uh, Scary brings over these two
Speaker 4: guys who own a sandwich shop or some kind of
Speaker 4: restaurant with food that Scary has brought food from them,
Speaker 4: and his father has had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the loserdo brothers the uh yeah, the Losertos, Mike
Speaker 3: and Frank.
Speaker 1: They did. They became very nice guys. They cased sausage
Speaker 1: and everything. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And so he's bringing them over as I'm about to
Speaker 4: say hi to his father. And so Scary introduces these
Speaker 4: two guys to his father. And his father is grieving.
Speaker 4: He's not the best you know, frame of.
Speaker 1: Mind there, and he has been on his grill, so
Speaker 1: I need him his grill. So I had to have

Speaker 4: you for coming. He says, your meat, It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: It was so good. What a pleasure to meet you guys.
Speaker 3: It's so nice for you to come.

Speaker 4: he goes, hey, Brody, see, I.
Speaker 1: Didn't bring meat. That's the kid to your.
Speaker 3: Father like you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, through all his great futless and I had a
Speaker 1: nice conversation with Dad later, but in that moment, he
Speaker 1: just wanted to go back and talk to the meat guys.
Speaker 3: So whatever took you, whatever, took his mind off.
Speaker 4: But it was such a scariest dad moment to be
Speaker 4: like he's like he cheered up right away and he
Speaker 4: oh the meat was so good.
Speaker 3: I grilled.
Speaker 4: He lit up, So I gotta be you know, I'm
Speaker 4: funny and all, but I don't bring him to meat.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so there you go. Well anyway, so so
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't want to go on about it,
Speaker 1: but this is what we do. We share our lives
Speaker 1: with you all.
Speaker 4: And you know what, I had to sit next to
Speaker 4: the Jersey kid at the funeral, So how about some.
Speaker 3: Sympathy for me. There's some sympathy there. Uh, and you know,
Speaker 3: the good news is scary. You know.
Speaker 4: The headstone, as we talked about on the podcast, we
Speaker 4: did we you had that, Maide, it's already but that
Speaker 4: was so that just so you know, and my mom
Speaker 4: told me it.
Speaker 1: She says, we didn't go get the heads toned for this.
Speaker 1: That wasn't why we did this. We we this was
Speaker 1: a family thing, and it's it's been on the it's
Speaker 1: been on the docket for like, you know, ten months now.
Speaker 3: They've been trying to go out there.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't it wasn't like they were planning her
Speaker 1: her funerals.
Speaker 3: All right, but but one other word on this is
Speaker 3: it's Christmas. We we went, and Brodie's a part of this.
Speaker 1: We went. My mom said, I want, no matter what,
Speaker 1: you guys better celebrate Christmas because this was toward toward
Speaker 1: the end, and she she's like, you need to. You
Speaker 1: have to celebrate Christmas for the kids. And I'm glad
Speaker 1: in retrospect, I'm glad we did. I mean, it wasn't
Speaker 1: a happy celebration, but we went through the motions. We
Speaker 1: did a Christmas Eve, we started the Feast of the
Speaker 1: Seven Fishes, a tradition that we lost twelve years ago
Speaker 1: with my dad's brother passing. We brought it back, me
Speaker 1: and my sister because we knew it would make my
Speaker 1: dad happy. We did that, and then we went to
Speaker 1: my brothers for Christmas Day. And he lives not far
Speaker 1: from me. Yeah, my brother lives not far from you.
Speaker 1: So I made a call. There was a lot of food.
Speaker 1: I think it was my dad who even suggested it.
Speaker 1: You know, when I said that that Brodie lives ten
Speaker 1: minutes away, goes, why don't you watch all the invite
Speaker 1: him over here? So I said, you know, what why not.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not celebrating Christmas, dude, it's right, and
Speaker 1: hadn't done the Chinese food in the movie yet. So
Speaker 1: I was free to you. It was December twenty fifth,
Speaker 1: so I sent you a text and for the first
Speaker 1: time in my life it wasn't just family but friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you you actually came by I did, and a
Speaker 1: lot of food.
Speaker 3: Everybody was, you know, very nice, very welcoming.
Speaker 4: I met your brother's neighbors who are from Kentucky, who
Speaker 4: made some kind of Kentucky smash cake.
Speaker 1: Pie, so high Tucky crack pie. I mean it was
Speaker 1: tasted like it was so much sugar. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was delicious.
Speaker 4: And that's when I had the conversation with your brother
Speaker 4: and I told him, if you didn't hear it on
Speaker 4: Slice time where I said that you and your brother's
Speaker 4: younger than you, I said that you said you grew
Speaker 4: up on Nicki Minaj in two thousand and nine. He
Speaker 4: laughed so hard, Yeah, because he knows you were in
Speaker 4: your thirties in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: By the way, her album is out today, Pink Freddy Too.
Speaker 1: And I grew up I grew up on Nicki it's
Speaker 1: nice to see her as a veteran.
Speaker 4: No, I'm kidding anyway, Well, i'll tell you it was
Speaker 4: nice seeing Scary as Uncle Skeary because all his nieces
Speaker 4: and nephews were there. Then Scary got not only did
Speaker 4: he get presents for all the kids, but he had it.
Speaker 4: He explained the presence before they opened them. He's like, Hey,
Speaker 4: this is the thing. You're gonna put it in. It's
Speaker 4: gonna put lights on the ceiling and you're gonna like it.
Speaker 3: I know you like this.
Speaker 4: And but so they didn't even give him a chance
Speaker 4: to open the gifts. He was explaining it to the kids,
Speaker 4: so they were like, he was worried they wouldn't like it.
Speaker 4: The gifts, I was very generous.
Speaker 1: The Astronaut, which shines a light into the ceiling, and
Speaker 1: a constellation. It's on Amazon. And then I got them
Speaker 1: classics like Lied Pride and Inside. But Scary doesn't have kids.
Speaker 4: So Scary got his nieces and nephews toys that make
Speaker 4: a lot of noise. That's how you know he doesn't
Speaker 4: have kids. No, consider them like Transformer cars that were like, uh,
Speaker 4: like loud light stuff that makes my sister want to choke.
Speaker 5: Me.
Speaker 4: It's like when you have buy dog pets for somebody
Speaker 4: else's dog and they squeak.
Speaker 1: So uh and Brody got to see us opening the gifts,
Speaker 1: and I'll say to the side, I watched them all
Speaker 1: being uh, being Christmasy. All of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 1: my father had a bag and he was like, there
Speaker 1: were I didn't realize this, but there was a There
Speaker 1: were two presents and they were wrapped up and it
Speaker 1: was my mother's handwriting. I didn't don't know if you
Speaker 1: did you notice this, Brodie. My mom My mom shops
Speaker 1: in like October for Christmas, so she had already bought
Speaker 1: presents for us online wrapped them up. And so it's
Speaker 1: crazy because I saw, you know, to Anthony love mom
Speaker 1: and dad, and I'm like, and my father. I thought
Speaker 1: maybe my dad filled out the sticker or anything like that,
Speaker 1: because because you know, but said mom and dad.
Speaker 3: But no, no, that was my mom's handwriting. So she
Speaker 3: left us gifts on Christmas.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't.
Speaker 3: I cannot anyway, you can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, things are things are better now, but I want
Speaker 1: to just I want to bring this over to you, Brody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there is an extra long break by the way
Speaker 1: we get a long break.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're keeping you from the commercials.
Speaker 4: First of all, a lot of you guys DMed me
Speaker 4: when Scary wasn't on the air, asking me if Scary
Speaker 4: was okay. And it's not my place to tell you
Speaker 4: his personal life until he's ready to talk about it.
Speaker 4: So to the people that I DM back and I said,
Speaker 4: he's fine, he's just doing a lot of work. I
Speaker 4: knew what was going on, but it's not my place
Speaker 4: to say. So please don't think that I lied or
Speaker 4: I was hiding anything. I'm sure you understand now that
Speaker 4: it's out in the open. But if you heard it
Speaker 4: on the air and you were like, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: Brodie told me that, you know, there was a reason
Speaker 4: for it. So Scary and I live very public. We
Speaker 4: had very public jobs, right, but our lives. Scary's life
Speaker 4: is very public. Talks about his girlfriend and his parents
Speaker 4: were on the air all the time.
Speaker 1: And I'm a little.
Speaker 4: Not as out there with my private life about what
Speaker 4: my kids are doing or you know how old they are,
Speaker 4: necessarily or you know, I don't talk about what my
Speaker 4: wife does for a living.
Speaker 3: I'm very private.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I'm an only child, and so
Speaker 4: I have is Scary when his mom passed away, he
Speaker 4: had his brother and his sister to help him when.
Speaker 3: She was going through the chemo and going through all
Speaker 3: that stuff. And again being private.
Speaker 4: When things of major significance happened in my life, I
Speaker 4: sometimes don't share them with people I don't know, or
Speaker 4: in public, or go on the air with it.
Speaker 1: It's just not who I am.
Speaker 4: But I'm in the same situation as Scary in that
Speaker 4: it's been a couple of years now.
Speaker 3: A lot of you have asked about her.
Speaker 1: But I lost my mom a while ago now, and
Speaker 1: I didn't talk about it on the air because it
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, I'm an only child.
Speaker 4: I had a very, very very close relationship with my mom.
Speaker 4: My father was a police officer, he worked nights, and
Speaker 4: so my closest relative was always my mother. You know,
Speaker 4: I get my sense of humor from her. You've heard
Speaker 4: her on this podcast. A lot of you have asked,
Speaker 4: you know, when she's coming back on. There was a
Speaker 4: period of time when she wasn't able to come on physically.
Speaker 4: She went through the same battle as Scaries mom. Hers
Speaker 4: lasted a couple of years. But yeah, look, this is
Speaker 4: a fun comedy podcast, and I hope you will always
Speaker 4: find humor in what we do. We owe a lot
Speaker 4: of it to our moms, and so I'm sorry I
Speaker 4: wasn't forthcoming about it. A lot of you have said, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm happy holidays to you and hope your mom's doing well,
Speaker 4: and I said thank you. I never really addressed it.
Speaker 4: It was difficult for me. And I'll tell you what
Speaker 4: what also made it difficult? What's that I don't I
Speaker 4: don't like talking about it. This this is incredibly painful
Speaker 4: for me. Even though it's been a couple of years now,
Speaker 4: I can't handle and listen slices. You guys are the best.
Speaker 4: You're thoughtful and considerate and compassionate, and you care about
Speaker 4: us even though we do a silly podcast. And I
Speaker 4: didn't want to announce it and have you guys, you know,
Speaker 4: write me dms because you know me. I write back
Speaker 4: every DM and every tweet and I and I and
Speaker 4: I want I I thought about it a thousand times
Speaker 4: over the years. If I say, don't DM me, you're
Speaker 4: gonna say, hey, Brodie, I know you told me that
Speaker 4: DM you, but I'm gonn M me. Anyways, I really
Speaker 4: wanted to your mom was great. I know my mom
Speaker 4: was great, and I know you guys thought she was
Speaker 4: funny and you liked having her on. I can't mentally handle.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have even brought it up except it happened
Speaker 4: to Scary and I thought this was an opportunity to
Speaker 4: bring it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can't handle the constant reminder of writing back to
Speaker 4: you guys, or having you guys tell me all that
Speaker 4: one time she said this, maybe someday I will. I
Speaker 4: know you guys at the time thought she was hilarious
Speaker 4: and you laughed at the things she said, and you
Speaker 4: you quoted some of the things, and her voice was
Speaker 4: in a promo on Z one hundred. Uh you know
Speaker 4: that she knew what WTF meant for like a year
Speaker 4: And you know I let it go on the radio,
Speaker 4: even though it was hurtful to hear. It just set me.
Speaker 4: Uh So, whatever you're thinking about for me and Scary,
Speaker 4: thank you. I know your heart is in the right
Speaker 4: place and I know you're thinking he doesn't mean me yep,
Speaker 4: I mean you guys.
Speaker 3: I can't handle the DMS. I know you you.
Speaker 1: Care about us.
Speaker 4: I I just I don't want to have to write
Speaker 4: back and I would so just I know, I know
Speaker 4: that you you care about us, and I just thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner. It's just
Speaker 3: too painful for me.
Speaker 4: Some people it's a week later and they're like, Yeah,
Speaker 4: she lived a good life and she's with her family.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 4: That's not who I am. I miss her every day.
Speaker 4: Every night, I pretend I'm gonna I think of, oh,
Speaker 4: this is funny, I'm gonna call her, or oh, we
Speaker 4: should have her on the podcast because she have an
Speaker 4: opinion on this and and doesn't get for me.
Speaker 3: It doesn't get easier. So and by the way, that
Speaker 3: is difficult.
Speaker 1: Part of my mind situation is is, you know, every
Speaker 1: time I would see something funny online like a or
Speaker 1: like recipe or or some one of her favorite chefs
Speaker 1: cooked something, I always would DM it to her and
Speaker 1: I start that process now and I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 1: can't do that anymore, or I rant that you guys
Speaker 1: have heard. I probably called her and ranted first yes, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I would call my mom after the like, my mom,
Speaker 1: the new episode is up, and you know, or I
Speaker 1: have some fun news for you can't Yeah, it's weird,
Speaker 1: not doing that.
Speaker 3: She's always my first phone call. So and you guys relate.
Speaker 1: Look, a lot of you have lost your parents or
Speaker 1: one of your parents, a lot of you, you know, Listen,
Speaker 1: we all love our moms.
Speaker 4: Moms have a special place and it is what it is.
Speaker 4: And yep, scary as an old man. Now he's turning fifty.
Speaker 4: Hey hey, why Okay, you've said it. You said it,
Speaker 4: but listen, as you get older, this is what happens. So, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not going to get preachy with you know,
Speaker 4: tell her somebody along just right, you know. But we
Speaker 4: just wanted to share our experience and and uh, I
Speaker 4: hope you understand why it took me all this time.
Speaker 4: And I hope you understand the d MS I sent
Speaker 4: out about you know, and I just uh, you know,
Speaker 4: that's it.
Speaker 3: We want to update you because we this is what
Speaker 3: we do here.
Speaker 1: And I've got Scamboni's and uh we stuff, grammar police,
Speaker 1: I've got I've got a listener who hates me, and
Speaker 1: a guy who sells vacuums who cursed me out.
Speaker 4: We've got plenty of good stuff coming up. And we
Speaker 4: appreciate you sitting through this part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and and and we're gonna play in the
Speaker 1: next segment.
Speaker 3: Actually, I just thought about it. Maybe we should leave
Speaker 3: that to the end.
Speaker 1: But the last thing, at some point in the episode,
Speaker 1: I would I would would say the last Brody mom
Speaker 1: scary mom bit, uh, and you can smile along with
Speaker 1: them and and and all that. So that'll be the
Speaker 1: last segment of this podcast. We're gonna leave it right
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: One thing I did want to say, uh, Brody, was
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you you called again. Here we
Speaker 1: go behind the scenes. Brody called me and texted me
Speaker 1: probably as much, if not more than a lot of
Speaker 1: people in my life a lot to make sure I
Speaker 1: was good hanging in there. And it was just to
Speaker 1: just talk on the phone and just just.
Speaker 3: Shoot the crap back and forth.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: It was very helpful, especially in those first couple of
Speaker 1: you know, that first week or so.
Speaker 3: So I want to say thank you, David Brody for that.
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. I earned my food at Christmas. You did,
Speaker 1: you certainly did. All right, we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: What's that saying. Where there's tragedy, there's.
Speaker 1: Humor is from tragedy comes comedy from travigy. From tragedy
Speaker 1: comes comedy inadvertently. Yeah, so let's take it again. This
Speaker 1: is not going to go down a dark road here.
Speaker 1: We did that earlier. Yeah. So my father and I
Speaker 1: arrived at the wake and we're first, and we're early,
Speaker 1: and it's just the two of us, and I was
Speaker 1: very nervous. You know, if you've ever been into a
Speaker 1: funeral parlor or a wake, there's a door these doors,
Speaker 1: there's a hallway and then and then when you open
Speaker 1: up the door, then there's at the room with all
Speaker 1: the flowers and the casket and everything like that. So
Speaker 1: as we approached the door, I knew this was going
Speaker 1: to be a really sad moment.
Speaker 3: How'd you know that? Scary? Well feel I was.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect because I, first of all,
Speaker 1: I had my father was going to see her for
Speaker 1: the first time. And we we're town old Catholics, so
Speaker 1: we do open casket.
Speaker 3: Oh I don't get that, man, I don't get it.
Speaker 3: We do it. It's what we do. And a kind
Speaker 3: at my distance, it's tradition. Don't you have that in Jewish?
Speaker 6: You know what?
Speaker 4: It's one thing when it's an older person. But about
Speaker 4: ten years ago my friend, Vinnie, passed away. He had
Speaker 4: a heart attack. Well, stopped at a red light.
Speaker 1: I thought we weren't going down a dark road now.
Speaker 1: Well lestend it happened.
Speaker 3: Vinne's gone a long time. Vinnie's was a great guy.
Speaker 4: But when I went to the funeral, his mom, you know,
Speaker 4: I knew the family for twenty years. His mom was like, oh, David,
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you came here as an old Italian woman.
Speaker 4: And she goes, please he got come see Vinnie.
Speaker 3: It means so much, didn't that you were here. I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: I don't want to. Wow.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I'm good. She's like, no, you
Speaker 1: have to come over, and it's and she got a
Speaker 1: religious remain.
Speaker 3: So I had to go.
Speaker 1: When you see a peer like some of your age,
Speaker 1: that's weird, that's not you know.
Speaker 3: You're lucky she didn't ask you to kiss it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to kiss the go kiss him, kiss
Speaker 1: him like like, oh, I'm not touching that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, sorry about that.
Speaker 1: Well, So so I opened we opened up the doors
Speaker 1: and we were smacked in the face by a larger
Speaker 1: than life had to be about ten feet tall at
Speaker 1: least flower board wall of wall that said with the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio logo in you got uh with the iHeart
Speaker 1: Ladi Ryhart radio logo on it. You know what it
Speaker 1: looks like, the red heart with the black and the logo.
Speaker 1: The actual logo it says, I heart the Scary Family,
Speaker 1: iHeart radio this or I heart the Scary fa It said,
Speaker 1: iHeart radio family.
Speaker 3: Yes right.
Speaker 1: It didn't have your name on It was the Scary family,
Speaker 1: it said it. It was small and it was iHeart
Speaker 1: the Scary Family, right, and it was all in flowers,
Speaker 1: by the way, all the lettering and everything like that,
Speaker 1: the heart and everything. Okay, so that's a problem. It
Speaker 1: happened to have been the talk of the entire wake.
Speaker 1: It kind of stole the show and it was very
Speaker 1: nice and so thank you to the iHeart Radio sales team,
Speaker 1: you know me and sales were so tight. They they
Speaker 1: all chipped those and deals they all chipped in. I
Speaker 1: just got the names of all the people. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna read them who sent that that wall of flowers.
Speaker 5: But.
Speaker 1: It was something of I mean, brody, you feel free.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you a story that involves
Speaker 1: my mom. So when I was in like second grade,
Speaker 1: I had to draw a map of the neighborhood, like
Speaker 1: like streets.
Speaker 3: With numbers and lines.
Speaker 4: And and and and where this where this where the
Speaker 4: trains were. And I had to make a map of
Speaker 4: like you know, street lines, and I did like three
Speaker 4: blocks from left to right.
Speaker 1: And my mother saw it. She went, that's terrible. You
Speaker 1: can't hand that in.
Speaker 4: And she took a ruler and she finished the entire
Speaker 4: rest of the map and and I handed it in
Speaker 4: and and the report was, you did a really good job,
Speaker 4: but it looks like at the end you got tired
Speaker 4: and you stopped caring. But that was the part I did, right,
Speaker 4: They thought, I like, I did a really good job,
Speaker 4: and then I just like tailed off and got scribbly lines. Right,
Speaker 4: That's what looks like happened to the iHeart family because
Speaker 4: the word family started off level and then each letter
Speaker 4: progressively dipped like.
Speaker 3: Someone got tired and it like and it dropped off.
Speaker 1: That said, though, was that a bit of a spectacle
Speaker 1: because I had the Jersey Kid and the whole morning
Speaker 1: show saying, oh my god, we go take a picture
Speaker 1: under the step and repeat of the meaning Like it
Speaker 1: was like like one of those advertisements. It was huge
Speaker 1: by the way we saw it, we burst out laughing.
Speaker 3: That's my point.
Speaker 1: I needed that laugh in that moment to offset what
Speaker 1: was about to come.
Speaker 4: I was going to take a picture of it, but
Speaker 4: you know, you can't really take a picture at a wake. Yeah, So, I,
Speaker 4: not being Catholic, wanted to make sure I did everything right,
Speaker 4: make sure I wore the right thing, make sure I
Speaker 4: brought the right thing. So I went and I got
Speaker 4: I think I got Lili's I think whatever. I think,
Speaker 4: I got lilies. Whatever the white flower was that I forget. Now,
Speaker 4: that's one of the things you're supposed to bring to
Speaker 4: a Catholic wake. So I get a bouquet that morning,
Speaker 4: and I go in and the first thing I see
Speaker 4: when I walk in the left door is, you know,
Speaker 4: those easels of flowers, normal size easels.
Speaker 5: I want.
Speaker 4: You know, I really can't afford an easel on my own,
Speaker 4: but I brought the flowers the bouquet.
Speaker 3: I'm sure to look nice, that's fine.
Speaker 1: And I looked to my right and there's this godzilla
Speaker 1: looking iHeart radio wall of flowers it is, And I
Speaker 1: just felt like Charlie Brown with his little Christmas tree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And I was the sales team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my oh, I got a bouquet lilies and they
Speaker 1: set the wall. So it was very kind of them.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they had the department had the money
Speaker 1: to do that. But it was the easels. But a
Speaker 1: normal easel is watch four and a half feet high
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, yeah, this is this thing monster
Speaker 1: three to four times to pall and wide. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess they said, give us the biggest you have. But
Speaker 1: you know, and you know where it came from, Birdie
Speaker 1: Staten Island, because someone, of course, quote knew a guy,
Speaker 1: someone got a guy.
Speaker 3: Did those did those flowers fall off a truck?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Pretty much?
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, So anyway that it was very nice,
Speaker 1: being very thoughtful.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was definitely uh out there. It was huge and
Speaker 1: right amongst all the flower of the floral arrangements. A
Speaker 1: lot of people sent a lot of cards and flowers.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, but you know what, my mom would
Speaker 1: have wanted it that way.
Speaker 3: My mom loved I heard she she would wear the shirts.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was perfect for it.
Speaker 4: And we'll say I got there about ten minutes into
Speaker 4: the way fifteen minutes and I stayed till the end.
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of people who will come in.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna mention names. I don't even know who some
Speaker 4: of them were.
Speaker 1: They'll come in, they'll walk around, they see if anything
Speaker 1: know anybody, they'll make sure they get seen by the
Speaker 1: people whose family it is right, and then they do
Speaker 1: like a and ay leave, Oh.
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that, zimpthy do. So this is different.
Speaker 1: I know in your culture you sit shiver and you
Speaker 1: come over, you break the bread and you hang out.
Speaker 1: And no Jews take a half hour to say goodbye
Speaker 1: at least no. These people were like but they were
Speaker 1: like walking like backwards out to make sure nobody saw
Speaker 1: them leave. Well well because they were embarrassed. But but
Speaker 1: it's totally fine. It's you come in, you pay your respects,
Speaker 1: you take a look at what's happening, You hug your kiss,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you know, ten minutes is okay.
Speaker 1: If you don't know anybody, five ten minutes, it's fine. No, no,
Speaker 1: but that's it's it's it's okay, it's it's it's actually
Speaker 1: kind of common.
Speaker 3: It's common.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you different for forty five minutes to get there.
Speaker 4: Figured out what time. Hellen b Spamoni gardens closed. It's
Speaker 4: like the pizza and I stayed as late as I
Speaker 4: could I go get pizza exactly.
Speaker 1: And all my friends from Hoboken, we're like, uh, where.
Speaker 3: Can we eat around here?
Speaker 1: You're gonna send us to Brooklyn roots, you know, like
Speaker 1: everyone's like, while we're in Brooklyn, we're gonna go blank
Speaker 1: because we're here. Yeah, you could. Oh and with the
Speaker 1: Dyker lights was nearby, you know, the famous Laquer lights
Speaker 1: was two blocks away.
Speaker 4: So how could you know heights? Yeah, dyk e Arts,
Speaker 4: not Dykes, it's Dker Heights. It's like tenth Avenue to
Speaker 4: fourteenth Avenue and then like twenty like sixty fifth to
Speaker 4: seventy fifth, some like eighty fifth, and people put. They
Speaker 4: have little small houses, some of them. Some of them
Speaker 4: they've knocked down two houses, built up three a giant one,
Speaker 4: and they have more lights than the Empire State Building.
Speaker 4: And there's like tour buses and ice cream trucks and police.
Speaker 4: Uh anyway, so uh at the day of the wake,
Speaker 4: my last story about the wake, the wake let ended
Speaker 4: till like nine to fifteen, and I didn't realize what
Speaker 4: time it was.
Speaker 3: The Chinese restaurant. I wanted to go who closed it?
Speaker 1: Nine?
Speaker 4: Of course, when I walked outside, I looked at my watch.
Speaker 4: You went no, because the tragedy was mine. Really, you know,
Speaker 4: scary was there for a week, but the Chinese restaurant closed.
Speaker 3: Really the tragedy of the night.
Speaker 4: So I ended up getting pizza that night in Chinese
Speaker 4: food the next day after the Fu.
Speaker 1: Was not offended, and I was not offended by the
Speaker 1: way for people who were like, while I'm here, I
Speaker 1: want to go see this. I want to go that
Speaker 1: a tribute to you and your family that think about food.
Speaker 3: Yes, while we're there. Absolutely the Boys podcast.
Speaker 8: We will be right back.
Speaker 3: We're flying through here today.
Speaker 1: I got other pizza stories for today at some point,
Speaker 1: come when you want pizza stories. Hey, when is the
Speaker 1: last day for a holiday for a holiday party? I
Speaker 1: know somebody going to a holiday party tonight, a company
Speaker 1: holiday party. I think it should be off limits. No,
Speaker 1: thank you, see you later. After like the second of January,
Speaker 1: I think maybe it's okay. Between the December twenty sixth
Speaker 1: and December thirty first and that week off with is
Speaker 1: that that black hole where nobody knows what's going on
Speaker 1: or what day it is, that's okay to have a
Speaker 1: holiday party.
Speaker 3: But I but here we are brody.
Speaker 1: We're two weeks in and now someone who doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be named because she's she's going to her husband's
Speaker 1: holiday party, is upset that she's got to go to
Speaker 1: a holiday party because you're not really in the holiday
Speaker 1: mood at this point.
Speaker 3: You just get together for drinks when you know how
Speaker 3: the real estate industry is. It's weird that way.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, why do you think it's someone from
Speaker 1: the real estate industry? Him know, I just, I'm just
Speaker 1: it's not okay, okay, all right, right, But isn't it
Speaker 1: like isn't it shouldn't It's not the holidays anymore.
Speaker 4: If a company is trying to save money and a
Speaker 4: company fires one less person, so that because they saved
Speaker 4: money and they want to celebrate, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: We worked for iHeartRadio and for many years they gave
Speaker 4: us fantastic holiday parties. But there was one of two years,
Speaker 4: maybe when it was Clear Channel before it was iHeart,
Speaker 4: where the parties weren't great. They were tight, things were tough.
Speaker 4: There was a couple of years. Yeah, So any any
Speaker 4: year you can get a holiday party. I don't care
Speaker 4: what it is. I know what you're saying, like, it's
Speaker 4: not really holiday party, but if you're celebrating still having
Speaker 4: a job after January, first celebrate baby.
Speaker 1: That's right, those lean years that your macaroni with butter
Speaker 1: is served, that was served. Yeah, my favorite was that
Speaker 1: was in a basement we were at It was like
Speaker 1: we were rock bottom at that point, and you know
Speaker 1: it was appropriate that we went downstairs to a basement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you remember what everybody remembers. I remember the
Speaker 3: one thing talk about that.
Speaker 4: Uh well, we won't mention names, but no, but this
Speaker 4: was like fifteen years ago and this person is not
Speaker 4: with the company any longer. Yes, but we went to
Speaker 4: this Christmas party and they told us, listen, it's it's
Speaker 4: been a rough year. And I left thinking about it
Speaker 4: because we had we had like a party at Windows
Speaker 4: on the World, which was the top of the one
Speaker 4: of the world Trade towers, the Brooklyn what was it,
Speaker 4: what's the Brooklyn Heights one the Brooklyn on the water
Speaker 4: of the Brooklyn River cafe. Really and then this one
Speaker 4: year they said, listen, don't expect the usual a lean year.
Speaker 3: We want to take you guys, you know whatever. So
Speaker 3: we went and listen. It was fine. He can't complain.
Speaker 4: But it was like chafing dishes and chicken fingers and fries,
Speaker 4: which is fine. Listen, I'd like to go to theme restaurants.
Speaker 4: I'm a simple guy, I'm a bougie. But for a
Speaker 4: holiday party of a major world company, and we had
Speaker 4: just gone from the top of the rock to the
Speaker 4: bottom of a basement, and then right this happens.
Speaker 1: They said, oh, you know what, everybody ding ding ding
Speaker 1: ding ding on the glasses.
Speaker 3: We want to just take a moment here, make a toast.
Speaker 1: Come here, come out persons to two thousand and two.
Speaker 1: And they pulled out a chair and they made this
Speaker 1: person stand up on the chair and they said, congratulations
Speaker 1: to this person who just signed a new deal, a
Speaker 1: new contract. We gave them a huge and a bonus
Speaker 1: Bubba's salary and title, and congratulations on a fantastic year.
Speaker 4: And so the first thought everyone was like, well, how
Speaker 4: fantastic of a year could have been?
Speaker 3: We're eating chicken fingers?
Speaker 1: And second of all, are we eating chicken fingers because
Speaker 1: they're given this person raise like which came first. It
Speaker 1: was the most awkward.
Speaker 4: Moment of any holiday party I've ever been out where
Speaker 4: they tell you things that bad eat the chicken fingers, awful,
Speaker 4: this budget cuts and people have just gotten fired.
Speaker 1: People had gotten fired like two weeks earlier, and they're like,
Speaker 1: let's give it up for this person who.
Speaker 3: Got And the mood in the room was all like yeah,
Speaker 3: like how dare you?
Speaker 1: Like nobody was happy for this person deserved the person.
Speaker 1: They deserved what they got, but it was just the
Speaker 1: wrong time.
Speaker 3: You don't do that.
Speaker 1: Read the rueful, like January tenth in a conference room, Yeah.

Speaker 4: car you need. What are you synthetic in yours?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I know, I is ninety three. I use regular scary
Speaker 3: yeah oil.
Speaker 4: Michael McDonald is white and oil is what's synthetic?
Speaker 3: Yes, it's synthetic oil? Correct?
Speaker 4: Okay, So regular oil, your basic motoroil depending on your car,
Speaker 4: and if you drive in the city of the country.
Speaker 4: You don't have to uh call me or tweet me
Speaker 4: about this. I'm gonna I'm gonna be approximate. They recommend
Speaker 4: it all changes three thousand miles, right, could be thirty
Speaker 4: five hundred, but right around three thousand and thirty five hundred, depending.
Speaker 3: On your car. That's why I love my synthetic. It
Speaker 3: goes all year.
Speaker 5: Baby.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, again, I can't. That's it's not based on time.
Speaker 4: It's based on mileage, okay, and and and the temperatures
Speaker 4: and everything else. Okay, if you if you use half synthetic,
Speaker 4: that gives you in the middle somewhere, not on five
Speaker 4: thousand miles before you know. Okay, again, it's all approximate.
Speaker 4: And if you do full synthetic, it's around seven thousand miles.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Now, when you go.
Speaker 4: For your motor oil, you get a sticker, right, they
Speaker 4: put a sticker on your windshield. It tells you how
Speaker 4: many miles approximately until you need your next all change.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: A little friendly reminder.
Speaker 4: The little plastic cling they stick in the top it's
Speaker 4: always crooked. You have to peel it off and stick
Speaker 4: it in the top corner in the very so it
Speaker 4: doesn't block your window.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So I go in and I get my old change.
Speaker 4: I get half synthetic. Costs me like seventy bucks. Whatever
Speaker 4: it was, because my car takes seven quarts of oil.
Speaker 4: By the way, little tip for you. Yeah, if you
Speaker 4: buy the oil from them, it's like eight dollars a quart.
Speaker 4: You buy the oil in the store, it's like three
Speaker 4: four five dollars a quart. Oh, so I brought my
Speaker 4: own oil. That makes a lot of sense. So you
Speaker 4: get five for the groupon, you get five quartz oil.
Speaker 4: I had to buy two more quarts. I happen to
Speaker 4: have two quarts in my garage, so I brought it.
Speaker 4: They put it in for me, so I saved some money. Anyway,
Speaker 4: very nice guys.
Speaker 1: On on your way. Here you go, sir, I have
Speaker 1: a great night. I pull out.
Speaker 4: I look at my new handy dandy sticker and it
Speaker 4: says mileage doing three thousand miles. So I go, that's
Speaker 4: not good, because you know what I got at least
Speaker 4: five thousand dollars five thousand miles in the car. I
Speaker 4: don't want to like write over their sticker. Let me
Speaker 4: get a sticker that says five thousand miles. So I
Speaker 4: go back. I drive, turn around and go back, and
Speaker 4: I pull out by the eggs. I pull up by
Speaker 4: the exit. They come out, They go, hey, So, how's
Speaker 4: it going?
Speaker 1: Is anything right?
Speaker 4: I said, yeah. You gave me a sticker that says
Speaker 4: I'm due for all Change in three thousand miles. But
Speaker 4: I got synthetic blend and it was printed by the way.
Speaker 4: It wasn't like handwritten. It was like typed out on
Speaker 4: a computer and printed out the label. I said, you
Speaker 4: guys must have put in the wrong oil because you're
Speaker 4: telling me to come back in three thousand miles from
Speaker 4: all change. But I paid extra for synthetics, so I
Speaker 4: won't be back for five thousand miles. Can I get
Speaker 4: a new label? No, it automatically prints out three thousand,
Speaker 4: I said, what if I get full synthetic still three thousand? Well,
Speaker 4: why would it tell me to come back in three
Speaker 4: thousand miles if I don't have to come back for
Speaker 4: five thousand or seven thousand miles. That's just the system.
Speaker 4: It automatically prints three thousand. I said, are you saying
Speaker 4: to me that your company puts three thousand on the
Speaker 4: label so people don't pay attention and regardless of what
Speaker 4: oil they buy. When they look up a month from
Speaker 4: now or two months from now, they're going to think
Speaker 4: they do phenol change.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, pretty much. Wow, that's a scamboni right there.
Speaker 3: That's a scamboni.
Speaker 4: So you're putting in your seven thousand mile oil right right,
Speaker 4: But you know, three months later you're like, I wonder
Speaker 4: if it did an all change.
Speaker 1: You look up and you're like, oh, I'm oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm overdue.
Speaker 3: Or so some people were over to you.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, you only drove three thousand miles, So that's a scamboni.
Speaker 4: Oh wait a second, brody, why did you even go back?
Speaker 1: Why don't you just ignore the label and just come
Speaker 1: back in five thousand mile because the point of the
Speaker 1: label is to remind you when to go back. So
Speaker 1: I didn't want to forget this happened, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to forget what I need more old.
Speaker 3: Change and you write it down on your phone.
Speaker 1: I like the sticker.
Speaker 4: While I'm driving and thinking about it, I look up,
Speaker 4: I go, you know what I should go?
Speaker 1: Right now? While I'm in the car, I'll go get
Speaker 1: an own change. I love how you doubled back. You
Speaker 1: went all the way back there just so they to
Speaker 1: get a new sticker. No, I didn't go all the way.
Speaker 1: I pulled over immediately.
Speaker 4: After I pulled out to check my phone to see
Speaker 4: if my fantasy football team was doing all right. Oh,
Speaker 4: it was a game day Monday or a Thursday, and
Speaker 4: there was a game going on, So I didn't drive
Speaker 4: very far.
Speaker 1: A lot of time on your hands, David Brody. But okay,
Speaker 1: that's what happens here. We got a job.
Speaker 4: You know, now that we're in twenty twenty four, I
Speaker 4: realized for the first time since I'm fifteen years old,
Speaker 4: I for you know, I didn't work an entire calendar year.
Speaker 1: How did it feel, by the way, because now you're
Speaker 1: going on a year and a half, m how does
Speaker 1: it feel? Not as good as it did at the beginning?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah? Well at the beginning, I was like I'm
Speaker 1: sleeping late.
Speaker 3: This is great.
Speaker 4: Now it's like I kind of ready to go back
Speaker 4: to work. Have some co workers get out of the house. Yeah,
Speaker 4: all right, make some money. Ah, well listen cash, Yeah, no,
Speaker 4: I got you. Oh you know what what's.
Speaker 3: That day, Brody?
Speaker 1: Did you hear McDonald's coming out with the game bringing
Speaker 1: back Yeah, they're bringing back the double Big Mac. So
Speaker 1: this is this is this is how you want it.
Speaker 1: You didn't want to live too long? This is what
Speaker 1: I heard on back to back on the news this morning,
Speaker 1: I heard two stories. The first one was McDonald's coming
Speaker 1: out with a double Big Mac. They're bringing back four
Speaker 1: all beef patty special sauce lettered cheese pills four okay.
Speaker 1: And then a story about a fat burning pill that's
Speaker 1: coming out that vibrates for thirty minutes in your body
Speaker 1: before it leaves and you could drop weight. It's like
Speaker 1: an alternative to like o zempic and we gov. So yeah,

Speaker 1: then I sort of have a bone to pick with you.
Speaker 1: I want to see how you feel about it because
Speaker 1: Brody only does his pick fights.
Speaker 4: All day, not picking fights. I was under the impression
Speaker 4: that in Bensonhurst Christmas Eve Italian family tradition that you
Speaker 4: and whoever else will be helping you in the kitchen
Speaker 4: would be making the big feast of the seven fishes
Speaker 4: and crazy meat at lasagnas, all kinds of crazy foods Italian.
Speaker 4: I'll be told that you're ordering in sushi on a
Speaker 4: on a on a major Italian food holiday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got that right, see, and it's a great tradition.
Speaker 1: Tell him about it, Ma, tell us, so I hear
Speaker 1: you're doing the face of the seven sushi fishes. Tell
Speaker 1: him how great it is to have seven different kinds
Speaker 1: of sushi.
Speaker 12: We sometimes have more than seven when everybody's picking their
Speaker 12: own sushi plate, right. But honestly, those days with the lasagnia,
Speaker 12: those days are gone. That was in my arrow and
Speaker 12: my grandmother and my aunt.
Speaker 7: And we all, you know, helped out and cooked.
Speaker 12: Nowadays it's a little bit different. They just want to eat,
Speaker 12: open up the gifts and you know, just kind of
Speaker 12: like be done with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell him, we eat on paper plates. I just
Speaker 1: feel like there's.
Speaker 12: Something, no, not really paper plates, you know, the plastic ones.
Speaker 8: From Costom.
Speaker 3: The China.
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's gotta be something for tradition.
Speaker 1: There's got to be Like I told Brody that on
Speaker 1: the next day, on Christmas Day, that's when we pull
Speaker 1: out the traditions.
Speaker 7: That he's right, That he's right.
Speaker 1: We don't need two days in a night followed by
Speaker 1: an afternoon. Okay, it's a lot to Mama scary, honestly,
Speaker 1: how many years before you guys are ordering in a
Speaker 1: pizza from Domino's on Christmas Day that you're on your way.

Speaker 12: will have the usual macaroni. I will make my sauce.

Speaker 1: and you have some.
Speaker 6: Words still, Green rats are still coming out my ears.
Speaker 6: Green rats, tell this is the thing squared away? I
Speaker 6: thought the last time I ran, did that? Scary got
Speaker 6: my message that cut out this crap with this only
Speaker 6: child shit. I don't want to hear this crap the
Speaker 6: only child because my boy is superior, because he's an
Speaker 6: only child. And I don't need to hear that my
Speaker 6: son is a savage. What kind of crap is that
Speaker 6: a savage? If I don't savage, I like is Dan savage?
Speaker 6: And I think he's adorable.
Speaker 1: If if I if you had a cupcake on the
Speaker 1: table right and I would be more delicious.
Speaker 6: If your feet wouldn't hear it, it would be like
Speaker 6: it was sprinkled with gold.
Speaker 1: That's a mom.
Speaker 3: That's a reference, by the way, to last week when
Speaker 3: Gandhi is in here with you.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't eat the brownie because my son's feet were
Speaker 6: a little bit in the vicinity of Brownie.
Speaker 1: It was in the atmosphere vicinity. Yeah, not not even close.
Speaker 6: Those adorable little feets with those curly toes aredding. Yeah, feet,
Speaker 6: I'm perfect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my mom.
Speaker 1: That's what I was.
Speaker 6: His feet and my son were the same size.
Speaker 1: All right, ma Ma, let's stick to the focus here.
Speaker 1: The man's the problem.
Speaker 4: The man says I was raised a savage because I
Speaker 4: didn't have any siblings to teach me otherwise.
Speaker 1: That's right, because you know what in the sibling world,
Speaker 1: Mamma Brody, when you have to share the siblings working
Speaker 1: out amongst themselves and.
Speaker 6: Then listen to me scary. Why does he need siblings
Speaker 6: to teach him anything when he's got a mother who's
Speaker 6: a teacher. Yeah, the problem he got one on one
Speaker 6: tte he got.
Speaker 1: That's the proper. If I'm a savage, you're saying my
Speaker 1: mother raised the savage.
Speaker 6: No, the problem and that I have savage blood.
Speaker 1: The problem is, Mama Brody, is that he got one
Speaker 1: hundred bro anymore.
Speaker 6: I'm disowning you. I'm disowning you. Don't call me mama.

Speaker 1: My brother, that's not true either. My brother was the
Speaker 1: oops baby. But either way, I only got thirty three
Speaker 1: percent of my parents at ten, and I had to
Speaker 1: I had to understand that there was this thing called sacrifice.
Speaker 1: I had to understand it was you know that that
Speaker 1: that Sometimes my brother was right, sometimes my sister was right.
Speaker 1: I couldn't win every fight in argument the way your
Speaker 1: son the way your son.
Speaker 6: Needs to do. My child on a savage yes.
Speaker 1: On a weekly basis. He's fighting with a woman. He
Speaker 1: Gandhi is a woman, and he would not allow her
Speaker 1: to win. She was she had a great.
Speaker 5: Point are you?
Speaker 1: Are you saying she should win because she has a vagina,
Speaker 1: and that's.
Speaker 3: You're not letting my mother win.
Speaker 1: No, what I'm saying, you were such a great teacher,
Speaker 1: you would have let you would let him know to have.
Speaker 6: Respect for women, and he has respect women.
Speaker 1: I respect women. I respect women to know that if
Speaker 1: they're wrong, I don't pretend to think they're right. But
Speaker 1: you see, I don't patronize when it's your opinion.
Speaker 3: Gandhi. Gandhi had a very valid point.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you being respectful to my mother, who's your
Speaker 1: elder as a woman, and coming at me, you said,
Speaker 1: what kind.
Speaker 6: Of teacher you? Mommy? You know about Gandhi's point. You're
Speaker 6: not supposed to know about Gandhi's point. That person.
Speaker 3: I was in the room, I lived it.
Speaker 1: I saw what happened. My mother just made a clitorist joke.
Speaker 1: I think you missed. Oh good job, okay, good, all right.
Speaker 1: I got you alright here.
Speaker 6: When my son was a little boy, he said to
Speaker 6: his dad, Dad, I wish you were a little taller.
Speaker 6: And David, why do you say such a thing. I'm
Speaker 6: six foot two and a half. I'm tall, It's all right.
Speaker 6: Why do you need me to be taller? And he said, Dad,
Speaker 6: if you were taller, everything I say wouldn't go over
Speaker 6: your head.
Speaker 5: True.
Speaker 1: I said that I was three years old. Ah so
Speaker 1: bottom line, I say that to you.
Speaker 6: Scary listening, but it's going over your head. You're not
Speaker 6: getting the message.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my mother raised me.
Speaker 6: Well, can insult my child and get away with it?
Speaker 1: I have properly?
Speaker 5: Can?
Speaker 1: I can't? I can if the facts are there.
Speaker 3: He's not right all the time. He's not right all
Speaker 3: the time, sometimes real.
Speaker 1: Sometimes he is.
Speaker 3: And the fact that you can't admit that I didn't,
Speaker 3: you're the problem.
Speaker 6: I didn't say he's never wrong.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I didn't say it has I'm wrong all
Speaker 1: the time and my mother is not an only child.
Speaker 6: Wrong but not this time. Yeah, this time he didn't
Speaker 6: do anything wrong. He just sprinkled the room with foot
Speaker 6: odor and something wrong with that.
Speaker 5: You know what.
Speaker 1: Go back and listen to episode ninety four and you
Speaker 1: tell your ninety four. I listened, listen to order. I
Speaker 1: know it's better. We can we can we call it truce.
Speaker 6: No, this is this is your punishment. I'm never going
Speaker 6: to a met game with you. Never. I'm gonna sit
Speaker 6: in a met game with someone who calls my son
Speaker 6: a savage. I'm going to recommend when he renews his
Speaker 6: contract for the next seven million dollars, that he'd taken
Speaker 6: a new partner, and it'll be the Brooklyn Boys. But
Speaker 6: there's somebody else. You can get somebody in a minute, Okay,
Speaker 6: you know whatever, All right, the stipulation, all right.
Speaker 1: Real quick, you had a rumble, you had something you
Speaker 1: wanted to complain about, real quick, your orange juice problem.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, my arms old, I gotta give you an introduction.
Speaker 1: Had I didn't have it produced, but I gotta right
Speaker 1: here we go. Don't hold it against me. Get ready
Speaker 1: to grumble. There you go. I think I have to
Speaker 1: pay for that.
Speaker 6: You know, when you buy a container of milk, a
Speaker 6: half gallon of milk is sixty four rounds is that's
Speaker 6: the legal definition of a half gallon. And when you
Speaker 6: buy orange juice, any brand Tropic Canna, Florida Narews, sixty
Speaker 6: four roundss is what you got. And then one day
Speaker 6: I noticed my orange juice is fifty nine ounces. I'm
Speaker 6: sixty four to.
Speaker 1: Check right, trying to it looks like a sixty four ounce,
Speaker 1: but exactly the same but.
Speaker 6: Five ounces of missing. Okay, I can deal with five
Speaker 6: ounces missing.
Speaker 1: Same price missing too, same price though right reasonably?
Speaker 6: Yes, price the same reasonably. I go to buy orange
Speaker 6: juice again. Guess what, it's only fifty two ounces now,
Speaker 6: bow ounces are missing. It's no longer sixty four ounces,
Speaker 6: it's only fifty two and brand?
Speaker 3: Which brand is it?
Speaker 6: All of them? He said, all of them?
Speaker 3: All of them.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 1: They're in cootes with each other.
Speaker 6: They're in Kohouitski. They're all in Kohouitski. It's a conspiracy.
Speaker 6: I think it's a foreign government meddling in our orange
Speaker 6: juice production.
Speaker 1: So you think news.
Speaker 3: So is there now a sixty four in ounce that's
Speaker 3: more money?
Speaker 6: There is no sixty four ounces.
Speaker 3: Wow, they're just giving you less for the same price.
Speaker 6: Imagine every company looks exactly the same two ounces. So
Speaker 6: this drives me crazy because I love orange juice, and
Speaker 6: I can start my day without orange juice. So the
Speaker 6: sixty four ounces used to last me at least a week.
Speaker 6: Now fifty two ounces. Three days.
Speaker 1: I'm done, and she's paying the same price.
Speaker 6: Three days. I'm done.
Speaker 3: We've got it, We've got it. You know, is there
Speaker 3: a shortage of Florida Orange.
Speaker 1: By the way, someday, Scary, you and I going to
Speaker 1: be complaining about kaopectatee yes, like the raising the price
Speaker 1: of Jara Tall.
Speaker 6: This is what goes on the paper. Shrinking the chocolate
Speaker 6: bar is shrinking everything.
Speaker 3: Forget about that, you know, don't get me started on
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 1: The candy bar thing. Everything is small. It's the candy
Speaker 1: bar thing. The candy bars there used to be a
Speaker 1: lot bigger. I'm not gonna name names. Hershey well okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: hershey bar bar used to be much bigger. And I'm
Speaker 1: paying the same price maybe more for hershey bar. That's smaller.
Speaker 6: And that's like we got to get George Stanza to
Speaker 6: talk about the shrinkage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. I think we're gonna let you go
Speaker 1: on that note. I think we can let Scary off
Speaker 1: the hook a little bit because you agree with you
Speaker 1: on the before I go. But then we're wrapping it up.
Speaker 6: I was only kidding, Scary. I still love you.
Speaker 1: I love you to give you.
Speaker 6: You can still call me Mama Brody. I never apologize
Speaker 6: you a little bit of a savage, but don't say
Speaker 6: it publicly.
Speaker 1: My thanks by.
Speaker 8: Well, Hi Mom, Hi, Anthony.
Speaker 1: Hi, you're you're on the Booking Boys podcast.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, I'm good, I gotta call.
Speaker 3: Yes, So I got a question for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, Remember the other day when I went to my
Speaker 1: h and I put on my instest story the fact
Speaker 1: that there was no uh picture of me on the
Speaker 1: wall unit and you've hit it behind other pictures.
Speaker 8: Yes, I do.
Speaker 1: You texted me about that, but we never really spoke
Speaker 1: about it. So I figured this would be the perfect forum.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, well, right now I'm shopping with Jennifer.
Speaker 6: But where are you?
Speaker 3: Where you shop?
Speaker 8: We're an industry city.
Speaker 3: Industry city.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, a beautiful part of Brooklyn that
Speaker 1: used to be a bunch of old, burned out factories
Speaker 1: and now they're filled with giant It's a giant shopping
Speaker 1: center with all these stores. So yeah, no, So so
Speaker 1: tell me really quickly why you did that? Like, why
Speaker 1: why did you hide a picture of me? Are you
Speaker 1: embarrassed to know?
Speaker 8: I actually didn't hide it. The cleaning lady came the
Speaker 8: day before it comes. She puts in wall in different places.
Speaker 8: So I guess you just did it according to size.
Speaker 8: But if you looked on the other side of the wall.
Speaker 8: You would see that there were pictures of new at
Speaker 8: the wedding, Jennifer's wedding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, that those don't count because those are
Speaker 1: those of Jennifer's wedding. That's part of a picture. See
Speaker 1: you see my mom is trying to make the case.
Speaker 1: Now that's that that because I'm not one of nine
Speaker 1: people in a picture that that counts.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it does not count.
Speaker 5: No no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: I need an individual shot of me, like a picture
Speaker 1: of my graduation or something, so I can actually be
Speaker 1: there in a frame by myself.
Speaker 3: Why I hear Lucas has taking over the furniture, is
Speaker 3: what I'm hearing.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well what can I tell you? I love baby? Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know what's going to happen. That's gonna be it.
Speaker 8: He's really going to be show.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. If Stephen has a kid, he's screwed.
Speaker 8: Now, well I don't know.
Speaker 1: But so so here's another question. Scary pointed out.
Speaker 4: Your son pointed out that there's a there's a wedding
Speaker 4: picture of your daughter and her husband, and there's a
Speaker 4: wedding picture of your other son and his wife. Correct, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but there's no picture of Scary with his longtime girlfriend.
Speaker 4: Boy Now is that because it ain't official, it ain't
Speaker 4: getting framed. No, if you like it, then you better
Speaker 4: put a frame on it.
Speaker 8: But it's in a different area.
Speaker 1: It's in the garage. It's in the garage, right in
Speaker 1: the bathroom.
Speaker 8: No, it's not okay, you're putting me on the spot.
Speaker 1: Now, that's okay. But I'm just saying, no, he's hard,
Speaker 1: he's hot. I wanted to know why the graduation picture
Speaker 1: of me was was buried.
Speaker 8: Honestly, the cleaning lady king.
Speaker 1: Okay, she's gonna gonna blame it on the lady that
Speaker 1: does not understand English. So, yes, it would be nice
Speaker 1: if I had a picture of me, you know, graduating
Speaker 1: something something fun.
Speaker 5: Is that? Is that?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 8: You don't want to graduation picture a long time ago?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 3: So then what's a nice life event that's recent that
Speaker 3: you can have a nice picture of me? That's that's modern.
Speaker 1: Maybe a picture of Scary with a celebrity, all right,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Well they went to Hawaii together. There's some
Speaker 1: lovely pictures of them in Hawaii.
Speaker 8: Yes, I should look for one and posted maybe I.
Speaker 3: Can find Okay, Well, that would be nice that that
Speaker 3: would be great.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. But again, just just to confirm
Speaker 1: one more baby, and he's off to think completely.
Speaker 8: Right, that's kind of something else.
Speaker 3: Pressure.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, now let's talk. Let's see the difference
Speaker 1: when it's an only child. Let's put my mom on
Speaker 1: the phone.
Speaker 6: Mama, Brody, Mom, Yes, Hi, good morning, scary, Good morning, David.
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa awesome. She already said hello to
Speaker 1: me on the phone. That's why it doesn't count. She
Speaker 1: knows it's brody and scary. She's a brody.
Speaker 3: How you doing it?
Speaker 6: I just have good manners, David. You know I love
Speaker 6: you more than anything.
Speaker 1: Throw a pone, Mama, Brody, all right, we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna use my my not my first name anymore.
Speaker 3: It sounds weird, Okay, I so all right.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Uh, explain the situation to my mother.
Speaker 1: What's going on in your parents house? Okay?
Speaker 3: The family is growing, time is moving on.
Speaker 1: You have a brother and a sister, a brother and
Speaker 1: a sister, and there some milestone events have happened. And
Speaker 1: therefore I am losing space in the picture frames that
Speaker 1: are being displayed because they were running out of space
Speaker 1: for them. So my so I kind of I had
Speaker 1: the last remaining picture of me from my college graduation
Speaker 1: twenty something years ago, was the last remaining single picture
Speaker 1: of me in a frame that was displayed. And now
Speaker 1: because it's behind other pictures.
Speaker 3: Now it's beaten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got buried behind other pictures because my nephew,
Speaker 1: Lucas is getting older and now he's taken over the
Speaker 1: picture for the grandkid, the one grandson's got the pictures right,
Speaker 1: And then my brother's marriage and my sister's marriage, like
Speaker 1: I have to compete with all these events on my parents'
Speaker 1: wall unit and there's no space for me. And since
Speaker 1: he's dating a girl for eight years, but then I'm married,
Speaker 1: there's no picture him married to her up on there,
Speaker 1: there's no picture of them together.
Speaker 6: But then you have to do something important to get
Speaker 6: yourself in the pictures. You have to eat the ruber bank,
Speaker 6: you know, something worthwhile than they would put your picture
Speaker 6: out right now, you're not important?
Speaker 3: How yeah?
Speaker 4: Now Mom telling him like it is, I'm an only child,
Speaker 4: you're a grandmother three times over. But there's still pictures
Speaker 4: of me, Like I don't have siblings. I have no competition,
Speaker 4: but you would never bury my picture behind other pictures.
Speaker 6: Are you kidding? You're the most important thing? Yeah, you
Speaker 6: get priority. You're an only child, that's right important.
Speaker 3: I had siblings.
Speaker 6: She got rid of them because they weren't perfect. Weren't perfect.
Speaker 6: You're perfect, I said, they're not that great.
Speaker 3: That's right, MoMA Brodie.
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna have to talk some sense into
Speaker 1: my parents because they don't seem to think I'm a
Speaker 1: priority anymore. Just because I'm not making life events and
Speaker 1: milestone markers in my world doesn't mean that they my
Speaker 1: pictures get to be buried and disappear from the Wallume.
Speaker 6: I have a solution. Send me a picture of you
Speaker 6: and I'll put it in my house.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what funny you mentioned that I do
Speaker 1: have an eight x ten glossy of me. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want a headshot autographed. Well, i'll give you a Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys picture. You can put it off this way. I'm
Speaker 1: still there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be all right. I could sort of
Speaker 6: adopt you, and then you could tell your mother if
Speaker 6: she wants to see a picture of you, she can
Speaker 6: come to my house.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I'm standing on the left I'm Brody for
Speaker 1: the wind. I'm standing on the left in the picture.
Speaker 7: K w.
Speaker 6: Okay, I like the left. I'm left handed.
Speaker 3: It's far so is Hey Scary is left handed too?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Awesome?
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much. That's how you blow my
Speaker 3: mother off.
Speaker 1: You gotta go now? No what else?
Speaker 3: What's what's for dinner?
Speaker 6: No dinner? I'm starving.
Speaker 3: Please about when the sun goes down?
Speaker 1: Later? Dinner?
Speaker 3: Something?
Speaker 6: No bagels and locks?
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna fight it out. I'm getting white fish, bagels
Speaker 6: and locks, a little red onions. Even chopped liver. She
Speaker 6: bought my friend bought everything you like. Chopped liver.
Speaker 3: Now, that's how Brody treats me here on the show.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be reminded that.
Speaker 2: Bye bye, a im.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you later. I don't think anybody's home.
Speaker 1: We're gonna just scrap this. Oh dad, Hey, it's Anthony.

Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 1: Uh there he forgot?
Speaker 5: Phone?
Speaker 1: No, I forgot, but phone. A phone call from me
Speaker 1: is worth more than Steven or Jennifer texting mommy earlier
Speaker 1: or facebooking them. Oh my god, it doesn't get any more.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I guess would you say.
Speaker 5: Get into social media? No? No, no, no no no
