Who um, 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.480 who knows the deal? That's that's what we play. Yeah, 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.280 we always play when we come back for me at 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.720 least a one week break, if not two, in this 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:01.400 case three for three weeks. Yeah, it was Erica. It 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:06.480 was Erica P thirteen. I think who's yeah? Who said uh, yeah, 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.400 they wanted to hear the song. I think, well, nice, 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.800 good to hear that. Yeah, and you know people have 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.640 paying attention and it's good to hear your voice. David 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.560 Brody yes, I saw you had a visitor at your 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.720 your apartment this week, Sam from our show and her 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:27.280 boyfriend Um William came over to pick up a microphone. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.199 Yes you saw that, and she she said she hadn't 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.200 seen you in many months in person. We're both wearing 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.319 masks by the way. Yes, yes, you were good, and 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.319 it reminded me that you are the only member of 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.920 the show that I've seen since quarantine. Because I came 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.560 to your apartment as well, Yes you did. Then I'm 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.560 coming again this week, right, Because did you get the 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.240 delivery today? The delivery came in. It's in my trunk. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.080 As we say this, don't worry. It fell out the 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.000 back of a truck and it's in my trunk and 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.800 you could just put it in. We're gonna go trunk 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.720 to trunk with the delivery that came in that is 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.920 sitting there and waiting for you to stop by right now. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.840 You want to tell them what it is? Yeah. So, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.160 my favorite, absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the New York 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.240 New Jersey area is Carmines, which is family style Italian, 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.200 which means you order spaghetti meatballs. It's enough for four people. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.960 All the portions are huge because you supposed to share 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.120 with a table full of people. I like to go 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.040 alone because I love the food that much. I just did. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.760 I don't care taking leftovers and you do family style 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.200 by yourself. No no, no, no, no, I'm kidding. But 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.480 they often bring food up to the station. We become 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:34.040 very good friends with ownership and Glenn, the executive chef 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.800 of the company. They also own a Virgil's Original barbecue. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.920 Um and anyway, so uh, they because of the pandemic, 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.800 I guess you know. Obviously restaurants aren't open for indoor 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.040 seating in New York in the city, and they don't 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.960 have any space to put outdoor tables. So they're trying 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.119 to come up with ways to to make more money. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:03:00.079 So they are now jarring. They're amazing tomato sauce and 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.640 how jarring Now their guests they're jarring it and uh, 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.560 and they're selling it. And for a while they weren't 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.080 shipping it outside of Manhattan. They were just they would 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.480 deliver it, but they weren't like putting it in boxes 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.680 and shipping at nationwide and what they were doing. How 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:16.880 about this, I don't know if you've heard this, if 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.480 any restaurants in your city wherever you live or doing this. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.240 But um, most of us on the Elvis Straight Morning 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.840 Show live in New Jersey, so they can't deliver directly 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.800 to your house from Manhattan because we live like minutes 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.960 from the city. They now are doing centralized delivery. If 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.960 you heard of this, scary is that? So they'll take 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.440 like twenty orders in advance, let's say for Thursday, yep, 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.720 and then they'll drive a truck out to a like 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.920 a parking lot of a mall or and then everyone 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.040 will come and pick up their orders. So they'll make 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.680 like one trip on Thursday, one big trip on Friday. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.160 And so if you live in north central or or 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.440 southern central New Jersey, roughly they'll come there. They did 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.840 Long Island to hit the jingle on you. No, no, 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.200 I don't get any money from calm you hold on 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.720 a second. You just admit that you're gonna take shipment. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.839 That's part. I emailed Glenn and I said, Hey, are 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.560 you guys shipping to New Jersey? And I want to 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.680 buy some jars of sauce? Yeah, And he said, you 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.200 know what, Scotty B wants them. Also, Scotty B runs 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.720 runs one of the boards of the two boards in 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.760 the morning that run the show, Scary runs the other. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.480 And he said, you know Scotty wants them also, I'll 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.640 send them up on Friday. I said, well that'd be great, um, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.800 but Scary's there and Nate's there. We would need enough 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.640 for four. If you're sending it up, you don't have to. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.200 I want to order my bottles. He said, don't be ridiculous. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.880 I got a guy going downtown Manhattan with a ship, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.000 but a ship Mint, I'll drop a couple of cases 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.920 off for you guys. I said, great, if if Scary 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.360 can bring him home, I pick him up at his house. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.280 He played right into your hands. You knew that was 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.719 going to be the absolutely not. I went on the 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.920 website a couple of weeks ago to order, and I'm 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.760 gonna show you how it works. Here's here's how it works. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.120 And he's gonna like drop drop ship gravy to you 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.520 or sauce. They packed them and ship them. Now I understand, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.560 so she he's gonna be like that. I want to 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:15.320 show you how it's done by drop shipping you some sauce. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.400 So just so you know, you have a half a 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.760 case of of jars of sauce in my trunk, fantastic 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:28.400 from Carmines, wonderful, can't wait, it's my favorite. Love it anyway. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.840 So uh, it reminded me I'll be seeing That's why 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.800 I Sam reminded me, I'll be seeing you again. Uh, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.640 probably after the weekend, once you come back from Covid Beach. Right, well, so, well, 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.279 before we get into Covid Beach, Sam, Uh, if you noticed, 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:46.360 Sam was holding a jetty blue microphone. She was borrowing 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.480 mine because hers went bad. That's why she stopped by 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.520 to pick up my mic. And it was habit in silver. Well, 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.000 lo and behold, after all these months of me bitching 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.000 and complaining about the sound of your voice, notice here 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.719 we are ten. It's in already having't complained about the 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.039 sound quality coming out of your studio. It's because you 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:12.200 have that same microphone. Yeah, you havehone you're conditioning off. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.200 I turned the air conditioning off in my base. I know, 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.080 but the quality is so much fuller. This is a 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:21.160 much better sounding and and and four eighteen thousand, six 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.320 hundred six dollars less than your home system. Yeah, you 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.599 could keep saying that, you know, We're just okay. The 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.600 sound quality is better. But your voice is just as 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.520 greating as it was before. Thanks, man, you're just as annoying. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.040 I'm kidding, I'm working with you, bro No, no listeners 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.839 are going to think that there's a problem and that 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.560 we're fighting and that we're rude. Wait, we have to 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.240 make sure that so you mean, we're so you mean, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.200 we're not kidding around when we say that to each other. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.480 I just don't want anyone who doesn't understand the Brooklyn 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.640 sensibility that we have that when we insult each other, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.760 that's the bit. I would like to think. Everybody is 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.279 a hundred and thirty five episodes in at this point, 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.760 and they're all on board and in on the joke. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.480 All right, Well, you know what I've been on the 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:04.599 Elvis stray In Morning Show for I want to say 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:12.000 twenty two years. Okay. My personality and character on the 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.000 show is certainly not as defined as yours or Elvis's 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.640 or Danielle's. But you know, I complain about stuff on 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.880 the podcast, but overall, as a human being, I'm a happy, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.200 go lucky person. I live to make people laugh. But 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.920 for the last couple of weeks on the Elvis End 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.240 Morning Show, Elvis has gone to me and in my garage. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.239 He'll call me, go, hey, gave Brodie on the phone, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.680 and he's like, what's wrong. I'm like, nothing's wrong. He's like, 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.560 you sound grumpy. And it's the power of Elvis saying that. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.960 He'll say something's funny. People think it's funny. He'll say 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.480 it's terrible. People go that it's terrible. He keeps saying 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.080 I'm grumpy. So people are texting in why is why 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.720 is Brodie so grumpy? Someone texted in today at six 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:53.240 fifteen this morning, right right, Keep in mind I have 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.720 not been on the air since Tuesday. For whatever reason, 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.600 Elvis didn't put me on Gamesday. There's your Frida. Six 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.000 eighteen this morning, a text message came in and said, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.800 why does David Brody sound so grumpy? Oh my god? No, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.240 I'm like, what are they talking about? Well, because Elvis 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.720 said so apparently, But the way you're making it sound, 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.560 it's that people hear Elvis say something and they're immediately 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.280 thinking in their head like their sheep, like their sheep, 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.520 their sheep. No, Elvis is a very reliable source, right, 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.200 They respect him, they listen to him. There aren't people 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:32.000 individuals enough to come to their own conclusions on every theory. Scary. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.480 When you say a restaurant's good, you hope that people 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.000 believe you right. Well, I hope that they try it 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.000 and then decide for themselves. That's what an endorsement. Yes, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.160 but in order for them to try it, they have 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.079 to trust you to try it. Right. So if Elvis 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.880 says he likes a book, then for a week people go, 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.400 what was that book? You said? They like that? Which 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.600 is great. No, that's that's that is I understand completely. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.080 But you're taking it to another level where you're you know, 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.400 where you call out a character flaw on somebody and 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.679 then expect somebody to be like, well, that person said it, 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.800 so it must be true. That's a whole level of that. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.520 It's different from recommending a restaurant or a book. No, no, no, 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.719 I think if somebody is like, you know what he 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.040 sometimes I wonder and then Elvis says, he goes, yo, Elvis, 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.280 if listen Elvis knows him, he mum, that he must 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.839 know that I was right in what I thought. That 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.880 Brody's grumpy. I'm not grumpy. I'm I'm you know, I'm grumpy. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.240 When Wayfair doesn't deliver my damn chair. But I'm not 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.800 grumpy like during the day, I'm not by day, I'm fine. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.600 I'm like a vampire grumpy at night. So you save 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.920 it for the podcast, Yeah, I save it for the 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:37.040 because it's not even true grump. No, no, grumpy is 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.319 it's actually actually everything everything we do on the podcast 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.520 is past tense. So it's past tense grump because it's 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.800 it's it's like, hey, here's what happened to the other day. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.440 It's not going on like right now. Well, the only 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.840 time it's current grump is if you say something that 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.440 makes me grumpy, then I'll grump at you. But other 0:09:53.480 --> 0:10:02.120 than that, nothing is lied grumpa grumpa brody Yeah yeah, anyway, 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.360 so um you So getting back to Elvis, so maybe 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.000 a place into the fact, Like he went to me 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.280 twice since we're back from vacation. He's like, oh, Brodie, 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.800 what you do on vacation? I didn't do a lot. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.000 I was like, So he was like, that's it, Yeah, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.400 I can tell you. And then and then one day 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:21.680 he's like, so what do you what do you, Brody? 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.600 What are you doing this afternoon? Because he went around 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.599 the room and everybody and frog. He was going to 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.920 play golf, and Nate was gonna whatever. I was going 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.200 to Covid Beach. Yeah, you're going to Covid Beach. And 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:35.439 I was like, oh, I don't even planned. He's like okay. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.200 Like I didn't feel bad about my day until he 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.240 was like okay. He gave you more credit than you deserved. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.440 He thought you were you had a purpose that day, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.800 but apparently you were hanging out in your your basement 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.760 or your garage or wherever you are. I don't hang 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.800 out my Covid beach to have a purpose. Where are 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.559 you right now? I have a well, right now, I'm 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.160 in the basement doing a podcast, okay, with my slick 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.120 sounding microphone, which, by the way, I got paid to 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.400 get for free. You have a free dessert story about 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.040 the fucking microphone you're broadcasting out of. Yes, shut up. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.760 How the hell do you turn that into into into them? Pay? 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.439 I'll tell you. So. Is this an endorsement? Are you endorsing? No, 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.120 I'm endorsing the mike. No, the Mike didn't do anything 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:23.120 for me. Um so, because you complained on air about 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.880 the microphone quality, even though you told me to get 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.959 the blue Snowball. By the way, blue is the name 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.240 of the company. They're not blue colored necessarily. Then I know, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.599 a couple episodes ago, I told you I wanted the 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.520 blue one. I changed my mind. I got the black one. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.640 But anyway, so Elvis told his assistant to get me one, 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.440 and he wanted me to have it before we went 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.840 on vacation so I could start doing the fifteen minute 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.120 morning show podcast with the good microphone. He wanted Broody 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:53.240 with the good microphone, so he he ordered it off 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:58.079 Amazon because they had it in stock them. So Amazon 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.959 sells stuff directly, and then I'm uson hiss third party 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.880 sellers that sell through Amazon, so you can buy like 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.120 Bob's Electronics sells microphones, which, by the way, I don't trust. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.240 I don't I I don't like. I don't like going 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.240 down that road. It's always a slippery slope. I like 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.840 to deal with Amazon Prime or the people that make 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.079 Amazon itself right. Normally I try to buy it, but 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.280 sometimes it's an item. The only the third party company is. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.760 But listen, I'm not here doing a commercial for Amazon 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:28.040 and not a sponsor. I know, Hey, listen, I'm not um, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.960 I'm not no, But Amazon is a great job. So 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.320 I'll tell you how they did a great job. Anyway, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.960 so Andrew ordered me Elvis assistant Andrew a co host 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:41.000 of the UM serial Killers podcast. By the way, check 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.920 out the new serial Killers jingle to open the show 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.040 this episode. It is a parody of a song by 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.199 the Jonas Brothers that I wrote for the for the 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.920 Boys that Scotty requested. Right, So Andrew ordered me a 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.920 microphone because he wanted me to have it before we 0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:00.079 went on vacation, and best best Buy was UM. A 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.960 couple of weeks backed up on this microphone because, as 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.839 you pointed out, everyone's doing podcasting or radio shows from home. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.800 Everyone's buying microphones, and the Blue Yettie is a standard, solid, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.440 affordable microphone. Yes, so I got this microphone and it 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.280 was refurbished, meaning they stand behind it that it was fixed. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.560 That our word. Right now, I don't have a problem. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.640 It's a gift from from Elvis. Was paying for it, 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.160 but it was a gift and Andrew arranged it. Okay, 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:31.560 so I listen so far it's free. How did you 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.920 get money from this? Okay? So the microphone came with 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.000 a little card in it that said, hey, if there's 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.400 any problems. Here's the name of the third party company 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.880 with our phone number and email address, so you can 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:50.160 contact him of this a problem. He didn't pay for okay, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.760 hold on, hold on, hold on. So it came very 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.720 nicely packaged, and it was silver. It was silver, which 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.679 wasn't you know. We had discussed either the blue or 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.760 the black gifts. Silver. Again, it was very nice, so 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.640 it's fine and really nice microphone. I plugged it into 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.840 my laptop and it wasn't recognizing the microphone. And um, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.600 it comes with a mic stand like its own stand 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.600 with with two bolts, one on each side like Frankenstein 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.880 to hold it in place, and those bolts have washers. Well, 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.920 there was a washer missing from one side, so it 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.560 was a little bit crooked. Anyway, it wasn't being recognized. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.400 It's supposed to be plug in place. When you plug 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.640 it in, it's supposed to say, so it never it 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.600 was never recognized by your computer. Tried it on three computers, 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.960 two laptops in a desktop. It wasn't recognizing it. So 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.680 I emailed the company that with a little card. I said, oh, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.600 I just want to let you know there's a washer 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:45.680 missing and your Mike's not working, right, oh man, Okay, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.200 so that guy he will send us the copy of 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.320 the receipt. So and Andrew sent me a screenshot of 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.440 the purchase and I sent them the screenshot and he said, yeah, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.920 that's not our company. That's not us. You didn't buy 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.160 that from us. So this other company sold refurbished with 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.320 the card from the original company. That must have done 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.960 the refurbishing. So then that's not us. You didn't buy 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.000 it from us. Were not responsible. So I tell Andrew. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.400 I said, Andrew, I gotta I gotta exchange it because 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.200 it's not working. He's like, no problem, I'll try to 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.200 do the return. And because it was third party, it's 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.240 not free shipping. So you know, Andrew's not gonna fight 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.760 like I would, because I would have called the company. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.440 Listen you, Mike doesn't work. You should pay the ship 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.440 it back. Andrew said no, I just just you know, 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.320 we'll pay for the shipping. I said, yeah, but I 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.960 gotta pay for the shipping because it's at my house 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.760 now right. I can't bring it to Andrew to ship it. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.320 So I gotta pay for the shipping. No problem, It's fine, 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.400 you know. Um, So I go to ship it back, 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:42.960 and I say, Andrew, do me a favor if you 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.560 could order me a black one from Best Buy there 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.240 in stock now we're going on a two week vacation. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.560 No problem, great, and he did a great job of it. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.840 I do want to say that when I sent the 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.200 refurbished back, I got to see the I had to 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.920 do the return myself. I didn't want to buy the 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.240 Andrew on vacation, so I logged into his acc out 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.960 which I told him, I'm like, what the new microphone? 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:10.160 Scary knew the blue yettie microphone is everywhere? Right, So 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.360 just take a guess how much Andrew paid for the 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:21.600 refurbished d Okay, you're close. Wait what he paid more 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.240 for a fucking old one that's got refurbished, that was 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.560 broken at one point? And al right, he got robbed. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.480 That's a scam. I know he wanted me to have 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.720 it before we went on vacation, but even even with 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.120 rushing it, I got it the Friday before vacation, so 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:38.560 I didn't have a chance to use it anyway. So 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.480 and then it didn't work. How much? Wait, hold on 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.920 and what happen? First of all, I would never I 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.320 would never pay that kind of money for a refurbished 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.720 winning If anything, it loses value and you're paying less. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.320 So here, I have a question, and but I love you, Andrew, 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.320 but I have a question for you. Scary is that 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.320 someone who just was just trying to get it done 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.080 or like or was That's somebody it's not. It's not 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.800 my money. That's somebody who's spending someone else's money. That's 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.840 what you think. That's what I think. I love you. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.040 I love Andrew. I think so just like I gotta 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.520 go powerwash my deck. Let me, I got other things 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.359 to do here. Let me just buy this ship. Okay. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.240 So you think if Andrew was buying it for me 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:23.760 as a birthday present out of his old pocket, right right? Okay, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.720 But hold on, this doesn't answer the question, how the 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.840 funk you got this? You got money back? You you're 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.480 in I'll tell you. I'll tell you. So I had 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.439 to I had to pay for the shipping. So I 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.399 went to the post office, right okay, and I paid 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:42.320 for shipping. It was twenty cents, right. I called eBay 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.000 before I went to the post office, and I said, hey, listen, 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.840 there's no option to return this with free shipping. When 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.320 I tried to return it with the company. They sent 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.680 me a label that says add postage. So the woman 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.760 I spoke to said, oh, though, that's because it's a 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.119 third party. They don't normally pay for shipping. Now I 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.560 had two options. I could call the original company that 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.880 Andrew bought the microphone from and say, oh, no, no, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.359 you sent me a broken microphone. You should pay for 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.520 the shipping, which is only right. I shouldn't have to 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.280 pay for the shipping, Okay, I said to the woman, 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.320 Do I call the third party? She says no, no, no, no, no, 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.159 We'll make a note. You call us back and let 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.280 us know how much the shipping is and Amazon will 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.480 reimburse you. Okay, So how much money did they hold on? 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.080 Now I got the receipt. It's almost time for a 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.880 first commercial break. Yes, I got that. I'll talk faster. 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.919 I got the receipt. I got the receipt for the 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.199 shipping ten cents, and I called Amazon back. They had 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.360 notated my accounts, so when I called back, they knew 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.399 the story, and I said, listen, I just want to 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.760 get my ten dollars and cents back. I'm not gonna lie, 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.720 lie and tell him it was more money. Because it wasn't. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.280 And she says, well, how about this, and how what 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.840 would you have done? Scary? She said, instead of refunding 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.760 you ten dollars and twenty cents, would you like a 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:57.520 twenty five dollar gift card Amazon? Of course, yeah, that 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.600 makes sense. I took the twenty five dollar gift card Amazon. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:06.159 So I made uh, fourteen dollars and eighty cents. That's awesome. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.040 Now did you did you pass that on and give 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.000 it that to Elvis since he paid for the microphone? No? 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.840 Because I paid for the shipping. Yeah, but but you Yeah, 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.919 but you paid how much of the shipping? Right? And 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.280 it was a gift card? Yeah, but I had to 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.280 be on hold twice and make the that's Elvis's money. 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.840 But that's the rest of me going to the post office. 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.719 But the rest of that, Elvis is money. I think 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.119 you'rel was fifteen bucks. I don't know Elvis fifteen bucks. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.680 Yes you do, because it's fourteen dollars and eighty cents. 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.600 Four cents. You owe Elvis fourteen dollars and eighty cents. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.040 That's not your money. That's not your money. That was 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.879 money's gone. You're gone. You are a scumback Okay, I 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:49.760 agree with those people. Andrew got all his money back 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.280 to the credit card that he used. You benefited somehow. 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:54.800 You had something to say, He had something to say 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.240 about the beach one you want to talk about. I 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.160 didn't want to talk about. I'm still talking about this bullshit. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.760 You he's got money, You've got free money. This is 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.240 not your money, it's Elvis's money. I guess I just 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.840 knew this was going on right now. He would actually 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.960 demand the four He wouldn't. Elvis is the most generous 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.119 person you and I have ever met. He would not 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.520 ask for the money back because he because I I 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.639 went to the post office, I made the phone calls. 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.000 That's the time of an effort for the trouble that 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.800 it's an insignificant amount of money. It was just for 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.320 the point of the story that I mentioned it. That's all. 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.320 It worked out nicely. Sometimes these things have happy endings, 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.280 that's all. I still haven't gotten the part from my 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.439 chair from Wayfair. So, I mean there are there are 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:41.080 times things don't work. Um, yeah, so so what do 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:45.439
