Speaker 1: Guess who just got back today? That Brooklyn is that
Speaker 1: it's been away. They both have so much to see.
Speaker 1: You know, their name is a brilliant scaring shut up.
Speaker 1: I always hated that jingle, like you normally do. I
Speaker 1: was off que I forgot, I forgot. He says it
Speaker 1: that way. It's the Brooklyn Boys Podcast, episode number one five,
Speaker 1: back from vacation at that time. I got it right
Speaker 1: that time. Yeah, you like that. You see what I
Speaker 1: did there by the way, I think I apologize. I
Speaker 1: got a d M yesterday that said, hey, when's the
Speaker 1: new Brooklyn Boys episode? I want to hear boys back
Speaker 1: in the Brooklyn Boys back in town? Yeah, well here
Speaker 1: it is. That is a that is a slice. Who um,
Speaker 1: who knows the deal? That's that's what we play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we always play when we come back for me at
Speaker 1: least a one week break, if not two, in this
Speaker 1: case three for three weeks. Yeah, it was Erica. It
Speaker 1: was Erica P thirteen. I think who's yeah? Who said uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: they wanted to hear the song. I think, well, nice,
Speaker 1: good to hear that. Yeah, and you know people have
Speaker 1: paying attention and it's good to hear your voice. David
Speaker 1: Brody yes, I saw you had a visitor at your
Speaker 1: your apartment this week, Sam from our show and her
Speaker 1: boyfriend Um William came over to pick up a microphone.
Speaker 1: Yes you saw that, and she she said she hadn't
Speaker 1: seen you in many months in person. We're both wearing
Speaker 1: masks by the way. Yes, yes, you were good, and
Speaker 1: it reminded me that you are the only member of
Speaker 1: the show that I've seen since quarantine. Because I came
Speaker 1: to your apartment as well, Yes you did. Then I'm
Speaker 1: coming again this week, right, Because did you get the
Speaker 1: delivery today? The delivery came in. It's in my trunk.
Speaker 1: As we say this, don't worry. It fell out the
Speaker 1: back of a truck and it's in my trunk and
Speaker 1: you could just put it in. We're gonna go trunk
Speaker 1: to trunk with the delivery that came in that is
Speaker 1: sitting there and waiting for you to stop by right now.
Speaker 1: You want to tell them what it is? Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: my favorite, absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the New York
Speaker 1: New Jersey area is Carmines, which is family style Italian,
Speaker 1: which means you order spaghetti meatballs. It's enough for four people.
Speaker 1: All the portions are huge because you supposed to share
Speaker 1: with a table full of people. I like to go
Speaker 1: alone because I love the food that much. I just did.
Speaker 1: I don't care taking leftovers and you do family style
Speaker 1: by yourself. No no, no, no, no, I'm kidding. But
Speaker 1: they often bring food up to the station. We become
Speaker 1: very good friends with ownership and Glenn, the executive chef
Speaker 1: of the company. They also own a Virgil's Original barbecue.
Speaker 1: Um and anyway, so uh, they because of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: I guess you know. Obviously restaurants aren't open for indoor
Speaker 1: seating in New York in the city, and they don't
Speaker 1: have any space to put outdoor tables. So they're trying
Speaker 1: to come up with ways to to make more money.
Speaker 1: So they are now jarring. They're amazing tomato sauce and
Speaker 1: how jarring Now their guests they're jarring it and uh,
Speaker 1: and they're selling it. And for a while they weren't
Speaker 1: shipping it outside of Manhattan. They were just they would
Speaker 1: deliver it, but they weren't like putting it in boxes
Speaker 1: and shipping at nationwide and what they were doing. How
Speaker 1: about this, I don't know if you've heard this, if
Speaker 1: any restaurants in your city wherever you live or doing this.
Speaker 1: But um, most of us on the Elvis Straight Morning
Speaker 1: Show live in New Jersey, so they can't deliver directly
Speaker 1: to your house from Manhattan because we live like minutes
Speaker 1: from the city. They now are doing centralized delivery. If
Speaker 1: you heard of this, scary is that? So they'll take
Speaker 1: like twenty orders in advance, let's say for Thursday, yep,
Speaker 1: and then they'll drive a truck out to a like
Speaker 1: a parking lot of a mall or and then everyone
Speaker 1: will come and pick up their orders. So they'll make
Speaker 1: like one trip on Thursday, one big trip on Friday.
Speaker 1: And so if you live in north central or or
Speaker 1: southern central New Jersey, roughly they'll come there. They did
Speaker 1: Long Island to hit the jingle on you. No, no,
Speaker 1: I don't get any money from calm you hold on
Speaker 1: a second. You just admit that you're gonna take shipment.
Speaker 1: That's part. I emailed Glenn and I said, Hey, are
Speaker 1: you guys shipping to New Jersey? And I want to
Speaker 1: buy some jars of sauce? Yeah, And he said, you
Speaker 1: know what, Scotty B wants them. Also, Scotty B runs
Speaker 1: runs one of the boards of the two boards in
Speaker 1: the morning that run the show, Scary runs the other.
Speaker 1: And he said, you know Scotty wants them also, I'll
Speaker 1: send them up on Friday. I said, well that'd be great, um,
Speaker 1: but Scary's there and Nate's there. We would need enough
Speaker 1: for four. If you're sending it up, you don't have to.
Speaker 1: I want to order my bottles. He said, don't be ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I got a guy going downtown Manhattan with a ship,
Speaker 1: but a ship Mint, I'll drop a couple of cases
Speaker 1: off for you guys. I said, great, if if Scary
Speaker 1: can bring him home, I pick him up at his house.
Speaker 1: He played right into your hands. You knew that was
Speaker 1: going to be the absolutely not. I went on the
Speaker 1: website a couple of weeks ago to order, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna show you how it works. Here's here's how it works.
Speaker 1: And he's gonna like drop drop ship gravy to you
Speaker 1: or sauce. They packed them and ship them. Now I understand,
Speaker 1: so she he's gonna be like that. I want to
Speaker 1: show you how it's done by drop shipping you some sauce.
Speaker 1: So just so you know, you have a half a
Speaker 1: case of of jars of sauce in my trunk, fantastic
Speaker 1: from Carmines, wonderful, can't wait, it's my favorite. Love it anyway.
Speaker 1: So uh, it reminded me I'll be seeing That's why
Speaker 1: I Sam reminded me, I'll be seeing you again. Uh,
Speaker 1: probably after the weekend, once you come back from Covid Beach. Right, well, so, well,
Speaker 1: before we get into Covid Beach, Sam, Uh, if you noticed,
Speaker 1: Sam was holding a jetty blue microphone. She was borrowing
Speaker 1: mine because hers went bad. That's why she stopped by
Speaker 1: to pick up my mic. And it was habit in silver. Well,
Speaker 1: lo and behold, after all these months of me bitching
Speaker 1: and complaining about the sound of your voice, notice here
Speaker 1: we are ten. It's in already having't complained about the
Speaker 1: sound quality coming out of your studio. It's because you
Speaker 1: have that same microphone. Yeah, you havehone you're conditioning off.
Speaker 1: I turned the air conditioning off in my base. I know,
Speaker 1: but the quality is so much fuller. This is a
Speaker 1: much better sounding and and and four eighteen thousand, six
Speaker 1: hundred six dollars less than your home system. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: could keep saying that, you know, We're just okay. The
Speaker 1: sound quality is better. But your voice is just as
Speaker 1: greating as it was before. Thanks, man, you're just as annoying.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, I'm working with you, bro No, no listeners
Speaker 1: are going to think that there's a problem and that
Speaker 1: we're fighting and that we're rude. Wait, we have to
Speaker 1: make sure that so you mean, we're so you mean,
Speaker 1: we're not kidding around when we say that to each other.
Speaker 1: I just don't want anyone who doesn't understand the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: sensibility that we have that when we insult each other,
Speaker 1: that's the bit. I would like to think. Everybody is
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty five episodes in at this point,
Speaker 1: and they're all on board and in on the joke.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know what I've been on the
Speaker 1: Elvis stray In Morning Show for I want to say
Speaker 1: twenty two years. Okay. My personality and character on the
Speaker 1: show is certainly not as defined as yours or Elvis's
Speaker 1: or Danielle's. But you know, I complain about stuff on
Speaker 1: the podcast, but overall, as a human being, I'm a happy,
Speaker 1: go lucky person. I live to make people laugh. But
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks on the Elvis End
Speaker 1: Morning Show, Elvis has gone to me and in my garage.
Speaker 1: He'll call me, go, hey, gave Brodie on the phone,
Speaker 1: and he's like, what's wrong. I'm like, nothing's wrong. He's like,
Speaker 1: you sound grumpy. And it's the power of Elvis saying that.
Speaker 1: He'll say something's funny. People think it's funny. He'll say
Speaker 1: it's terrible. People go that it's terrible. He keeps saying
Speaker 1: I'm grumpy. So people are texting in why is why
Speaker 1: is Brodie so grumpy? Someone texted in today at six
Speaker 1: fifteen this morning, right right, Keep in mind I have
Speaker 1: not been on the air since Tuesday. For whatever reason,
Speaker 1: Elvis didn't put me on Gamesday. There's your Frida. Six
Speaker 1: eighteen this morning, a text message came in and said,
Speaker 1: why does David Brody sound so grumpy? Oh my god? No,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are they talking about? Well, because Elvis
Speaker 1: said so apparently, But the way you're making it sound,
Speaker 1: it's that people hear Elvis say something and they're immediately
Speaker 1: thinking in their head like their sheep, like their sheep,
Speaker 1: their sheep. No, Elvis is a very reliable source, right,
Speaker 1: They respect him, they listen to him. There aren't people
Speaker 1: individuals enough to come to their own conclusions on every theory. Scary.
Speaker 1: When you say a restaurant's good, you hope that people
Speaker 1: believe you right. Well, I hope that they try it
Speaker 1: and then decide for themselves. That's what an endorsement. Yes,
Speaker 1: but in order for them to try it, they have
Speaker 1: to trust you to try it. Right. So if Elvis
Speaker 1: says he likes a book, then for a week people go,
Speaker 1: what was that book? You said? They like that? Which
Speaker 1: is great. No, that's that's that is I understand completely.
Speaker 1: But you're taking it to another level where you're you know,
Speaker 1: where you call out a character flaw on somebody and
Speaker 1: then expect somebody to be like, well, that person said it,
Speaker 1: so it must be true. That's a whole level of that.
Speaker 1: It's different from recommending a restaurant or a book. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think if somebody is like, you know what he
Speaker 1: sometimes I wonder and then Elvis says, he goes, yo, Elvis,
Speaker 1: if listen Elvis knows him, he mum, that he must
Speaker 1: know that I was right in what I thought. That
Speaker 1: Brody's grumpy. I'm not grumpy. I'm I'm you know, I'm grumpy.
Speaker 1: When Wayfair doesn't deliver my damn chair. But I'm not
Speaker 1: grumpy like during the day, I'm not by day, I'm fine.
Speaker 1: I'm like a vampire grumpy at night. So you save
Speaker 1: it for the podcast, Yeah, I save it for the
Speaker 1: because it's not even true grump. No, no, grumpy is
Speaker 1: it's actually actually everything everything we do on the podcast
Speaker 1: is past tense. So it's past tense grump because it's
Speaker 1: it's it's like, hey, here's what happened to the other day.
Speaker 1: It's not going on like right now. Well, the only
Speaker 1: time it's current grump is if you say something that
Speaker 1: makes me grumpy, then I'll grump at you. But other
Speaker 1: than that, nothing is lied grumpa grumpa brody Yeah yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: so um you So getting back to Elvis, so maybe
Speaker 1: a place into the fact, Like he went to me
Speaker 1: twice since we're back from vacation. He's like, oh, Brodie,
Speaker 1: what you do on vacation? I didn't do a lot.
Speaker 1: I was like, So he was like, that's it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can tell you. And then and then one day
Speaker 1: he's like, so what do you what do you, Brody?
Speaker 1: What are you doing this afternoon? Because he went around
Speaker 1: the room and everybody and frog. He was going to
Speaker 1: play golf, and Nate was gonna whatever. I was going
Speaker 1: to Covid Beach. Yeah, you're going to Covid Beach. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I don't even planned. He's like okay.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't feel bad about my day until he
Speaker 1: was like okay. He gave you more credit than you deserved.
Speaker 1: He thought you were you had a purpose that day,
Speaker 1: but apparently you were hanging out in your your basement
Speaker 1: or your garage or wherever you are. I don't hang
Speaker 1: out my Covid beach to have a purpose. Where are
Speaker 1: you right now? I have a well, right now, I'm
Speaker 1: in the basement doing a podcast, okay, with my slick
Speaker 1: sounding microphone, which, by the way, I got paid to
Speaker 1: get for free. You have a free dessert story about
Speaker 1: the fucking microphone you're broadcasting out of. Yes, shut up.
Speaker 1: How the hell do you turn that into into into them? Pay?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. So. Is this an endorsement? Are you endorsing? No,
Speaker 1: I'm endorsing the mike. No, the Mike didn't do anything
Speaker 1: for me. Um so, because you complained on air about
Speaker 1: the microphone quality, even though you told me to get
Speaker 1: the blue Snowball. By the way, blue is the name
Speaker 1: of the company. They're not blue colored necessarily. Then I know,
Speaker 1: a couple episodes ago, I told you I wanted the
Speaker 1: blue one. I changed my mind. I got the black one.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so Elvis told his assistant to get me one,
Speaker 1: and he wanted me to have it before we went
Speaker 1: on vacation so I could start doing the fifteen minute
Speaker 1: morning show podcast with the good microphone. He wanted Broody
Speaker 1: with the good microphone, so he he ordered it off
Speaker 1: Amazon because they had it in stock them. So Amazon
Speaker 1: sells stuff directly, and then I'm uson hiss third party
Speaker 1: sellers that sell through Amazon, so you can buy like
Speaker 1: Bob's Electronics sells microphones, which, by the way, I don't trust.
Speaker 1: I don't I I don't like. I don't like going
Speaker 1: down that road. It's always a slippery slope. I like
Speaker 1: to deal with Amazon Prime or the people that make
Speaker 1: Amazon itself right. Normally I try to buy it, but
Speaker 1: sometimes it's an item. The only the third party company is.
Speaker 1: But listen, I'm not here doing a commercial for Amazon
Speaker 1: and not a sponsor. I know, Hey, listen, I'm not um,
Speaker 1: I'm not no, But Amazon is a great job. So
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how they did a great job. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so Andrew ordered me Elvis assistant Andrew a co host
Speaker 1: of the UM serial Killers podcast. By the way, check
Speaker 1: out the new serial Killers jingle to open the show
Speaker 1: this episode. It is a parody of a song by
Speaker 1: the Jonas Brothers that I wrote for the for the
Speaker 1: Boys that Scotty requested. Right, So Andrew ordered me a
Speaker 1: microphone because he wanted me to have it before we
Speaker 1: went on vacation, and best best Buy was UM. A
Speaker 1: couple of weeks backed up on this microphone because, as
Speaker 1: you pointed out, everyone's doing podcasting or radio shows from home.
Speaker 1: Everyone's buying microphones, and the Blue Yettie is a standard, solid,
Speaker 1: affordable microphone. Yes, so I got this microphone and it
Speaker 1: was refurbished, meaning they stand behind it that it was fixed.
Speaker 1: That our word. Right now, I don't have a problem.
Speaker 1: It's a gift from from Elvis. Was paying for it,
Speaker 1: but it was a gift and Andrew arranged it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I listen so far it's free. How did you
Speaker 1: get money from this? Okay? So the microphone came with
Speaker 1: a little card in it that said, hey, if there's
Speaker 1: any problems. Here's the name of the third party company
Speaker 1: with our phone number and email address, so you can
Speaker 1: contact him of this a problem. He didn't pay for okay,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on. So it came very
Speaker 1: nicely packaged, and it was silver. It was silver, which
Speaker 1: wasn't you know. We had discussed either the blue or
Speaker 1: the black gifts. Silver. Again, it was very nice, so
Speaker 1: it's fine and really nice microphone. I plugged it into
Speaker 1: my laptop and it wasn't recognizing the microphone. And um,
Speaker 1: it comes with a mic stand like its own stand
Speaker 1: with with two bolts, one on each side like Frankenstein
Speaker 1: to hold it in place, and those bolts have washers. Well,
Speaker 1: there was a washer missing from one side, so it
Speaker 1: was a little bit crooked. Anyway, it wasn't being recognized.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be plug in place. When you plug
Speaker 1: it in, it's supposed to say, so it never it
Speaker 1: was never recognized by your computer. Tried it on three computers,
Speaker 1: two laptops in a desktop. It wasn't recognizing it. So
Speaker 1: I emailed the company that with a little card. I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know there's a washer
Speaker 1: missing and your Mike's not working, right, oh man, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that guy he will send us the copy of
Speaker 1: the receipt. So and Andrew sent me a screenshot of
Speaker 1: the purchase and I sent them the screenshot and he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not our company. That's not us. You didn't buy
Speaker 1: that from us. So this other company sold refurbished with
Speaker 1: the card from the original company. That must have done
Speaker 1: the refurbishing. So then that's not us. You didn't buy
Speaker 1: it from us. Were not responsible. So I tell Andrew.
Speaker 1: I said, Andrew, I gotta I gotta exchange it because
Speaker 1: it's not working. He's like, no problem, I'll try to
Speaker 1: do the return. And because it was third party, it's
Speaker 1: not free shipping. So you know, Andrew's not gonna fight
Speaker 1: like I would, because I would have called the company.
Speaker 1: Listen you, Mike doesn't work. You should pay the ship
Speaker 1: it back. Andrew said no, I just just you know,
Speaker 1: we'll pay for the shipping. I said, yeah, but I
Speaker 1: gotta pay for the shipping because it's at my house
Speaker 1: now right. I can't bring it to Andrew to ship it.
Speaker 1: So I gotta pay for the shipping. No problem, It's fine,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, So I go to ship it back,
Speaker 1: and I say, Andrew, do me a favor if you
Speaker 1: could order me a black one from Best Buy there
Speaker 1: in stock now we're going on a two week vacation.
Speaker 1: No problem, great, and he did a great job of it.
Speaker 1: I do want to say that when I sent the
Speaker 1: refurbished back, I got to see the I had to
Speaker 1: do the return myself. I didn't want to buy the
Speaker 1: Andrew on vacation, so I logged into his acc out
Speaker 1: which I told him, I'm like, what the new microphone?
Speaker 1: Scary knew the blue yettie microphone is everywhere? Right, So
Speaker 1: just take a guess how much Andrew paid for the
Speaker 1: refurbished d Okay, you're close. Wait what he paid more
Speaker 1: for a fucking old one that's got refurbished, that was
Speaker 1: broken at one point? And al right, he got robbed.
Speaker 1: That's a scam. I know he wanted me to have
Speaker 1: it before we went on vacation, but even even with
Speaker 1: rushing it, I got it the Friday before vacation, so
Speaker 1: I didn't have a chance to use it anyway. So
Speaker 1: and then it didn't work. How much? Wait, hold on
Speaker 1: and what happen? First of all, I would never I
Speaker 1: would never pay that kind of money for a refurbished
Speaker 1: winning If anything, it loses value and you're paying less.
Speaker 1: So here, I have a question, and but I love you, Andrew,
Speaker 1: but I have a question for you. Scary is that
Speaker 1: someone who just was just trying to get it done
Speaker 1: or like or was That's somebody it's not. It's not
Speaker 1: my money. That's somebody who's spending someone else's money. That's
Speaker 1: what you think. That's what I think. I love you.
Speaker 1: I love Andrew. I think so just like I gotta
Speaker 1: go powerwash my deck. Let me, I got other things
Speaker 1: to do here. Let me just buy this ship. Okay.
Speaker 1: So you think if Andrew was buying it for me
Speaker 1: as a birthday present out of his old pocket, right right? Okay,
Speaker 1: But hold on, this doesn't answer the question, how the
Speaker 1: funk you got this? You got money back? You you're
Speaker 1: in I'll tell you. I'll tell you. So I had
Speaker 1: to I had to pay for the shipping. So I
Speaker 1: went to the post office, right okay, and I paid
Speaker 1: for shipping. It was twenty cents, right. I called eBay
Speaker 1: before I went to the post office, and I said, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: there's no option to return this with free shipping. When
Speaker 1: I tried to return it with the company. They sent
Speaker 1: me a label that says add postage. So the woman
Speaker 1: I spoke to said, oh, though, that's because it's a
Speaker 1: third party. They don't normally pay for shipping. Now I
Speaker 1: had two options. I could call the original company that
Speaker 1: Andrew bought the microphone from and say, oh, no, no,
Speaker 1: you sent me a broken microphone. You should pay for
Speaker 1: the shipping, which is only right. I shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: pay for the shipping, Okay, I said to the woman,
Speaker 1: Do I call the third party? She says no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: We'll make a note. You call us back and let
Speaker 1: us know how much the shipping is and Amazon will
Speaker 1: reimburse you. Okay, So how much money did they hold on?
Speaker 1: Now I got the receipt. It's almost time for a
Speaker 1: first commercial break. Yes, I got that. I'll talk faster.
Speaker 1: I got the receipt. I got the receipt for the
Speaker 1: shipping ten cents, and I called Amazon back. They had
Speaker 1: notated my accounts, so when I called back, they knew
Speaker 1: the story, and I said, listen, I just want to
Speaker 1: get my ten dollars and cents back. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 1: lie and tell him it was more money. Because it wasn't.
Speaker 1: And she says, well, how about this, and how what
Speaker 1: would you have done? Scary? She said, instead of refunding
Speaker 1: you ten dollars and twenty cents, would you like a
Speaker 1: twenty five dollar gift card Amazon? Of course, yeah, that
Speaker 1: makes sense. I took the twenty five dollar gift card Amazon.
Speaker 1: So I made uh, fourteen dollars and eighty cents. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Now did you did you pass that on and give
Speaker 1: it that to Elvis since he paid for the microphone? No?
Speaker 1: Because I paid for the shipping. Yeah, but but you Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you paid how much of the shipping? Right? And
Speaker 1: it was a gift card? Yeah, but I had to
Speaker 1: be on hold twice and make the that's Elvis's money.
Speaker 1: But that's the rest of me going to the post office.
Speaker 1: But the rest of that, Elvis is money. I think
Speaker 1: you'rel was fifteen bucks. I don't know Elvis fifteen bucks.
Speaker 1: Yes you do, because it's fourteen dollars and eighty cents.
Speaker 1: Four cents. You owe Elvis fourteen dollars and eighty cents.
Speaker 1: That's not your money. That's not your money. That was
Speaker 1: money's gone. You're gone. You are a scumback Okay, I
Speaker 1: agree with those people. Andrew got all his money back
Speaker 1: to the credit card that he used. You benefited somehow.
Speaker 1: You had something to say, He had something to say
Speaker 1: about the beach one you want to talk about. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about. I'm still talking about this bullshit.
Speaker 1: You he's got money, You've got free money. This is
Speaker 1: not your money, it's Elvis's money. I guess I just
Speaker 1: knew this was going on right now. He would actually
Speaker 1: demand the four He wouldn't. Elvis is the most generous
Speaker 1: person you and I have ever met. He would not
Speaker 1: ask for the money back because he because I I
Speaker 1: went to the post office, I made the phone calls.
Speaker 1: That's the time of an effort for the trouble that
Speaker 1: it's an insignificant amount of money. It was just for
Speaker 1: the point of the story that I mentioned it. That's all.
Speaker 1: It worked out nicely. Sometimes these things have happy endings,
Speaker 1: that's all. I still haven't gotten the part from my
Speaker 1: chair from Wayfair. So, I mean there are there are
Speaker 1: times things don't work. Um, yeah, so so what do
Speaker 1: you do on vacation? BROI this is what you did
Speaker 1: on vacation. So no, yeah, this is part of what
Speaker 1: your vacation. Yeah, you know what, I spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time with my family. The hot top I told
Speaker 1: you I ordered was is three weeks delayed. I just
Speaker 1: got confirmation today today being Friday, that it's coming Monday.
Speaker 1: It will get moved on Tuesday to my backyard and
Speaker 1: then installed and wired up on Thursday. So a week
Speaker 1: from today I will have a fully functional hot tub allegedly. Allegedly, yes,
Speaker 1: and home Depot already said that once it arrives and
Speaker 1: it's installed, to call them and they will reimburse me
Speaker 1: financially from my delay. They said that, So how about that?
Speaker 1: How about that? How about that three week delay? They said, No,
Speaker 1: we understand, we have to make amends. I said, good, okay,
Speaker 1: they said, but we can't give you money now because
Speaker 1: we don't know how late it's gonna be. Once it arrives,
Speaker 1: we'll be able to put a price on it. How
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, that's great. So you're all you were
Speaker 1: doing all you're doing during this time, while you were
Speaker 1: getting free money back and all that crap. You you
Speaker 1: were poking fun at me for spending time. You dogs
Speaker 1: need some food, by the way, they don't bark for food.
Speaker 1: They bark someone at the door. Yes, they bark as
Speaker 1: someone's outside. Maybe it's way fair with your chair, yea,
Speaker 1: you know, listen, At some point, when it's actually a
Speaker 1: final end to the story, I will update the story.
Speaker 1: But right now, i've had supervisors. By the way, I
Speaker 1: was assigned a personal advocate, a personal advocate that said
Speaker 1: I will get back to you on July seven to
Speaker 1: make sure this gets taken care of. A personal shopper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my advocate Becky, you know, And I think I think
Speaker 1: Becky has the VID because she's been out on medical
Speaker 1: leave since the fourth of July. So my advocate is outsick. Right.
Speaker 1: The woman who replaced Becky when I called, who's now
Speaker 1: covering for Becky, Becky's boss or or the next level supervisor, Michelle,
Speaker 1: she's out on medical leave as well. I think she
Speaker 1: may have gotten something from Becky. I'm not laughing about it.
Speaker 1: I think it's terrible. So anyway, when there's a real update,
Speaker 1: I'll give you up. Okay, those dogs are ferocious right now.
Speaker 1: If they're both arking, hold on, I can tell by
Speaker 1: the barking they're barking at the mailman. If my wife
Speaker 1: is home from work, then they go ballistic. Then they
Speaker 1: start like that. You could tell the type of bark
Speaker 1: and who it's for. So that's that is the postman bark. Well,
Speaker 1: it's either the postman. If they keep barking for a
Speaker 1: long period of time, it means it means my wife
Speaker 1: is in the car on the driveway on the phone
Speaker 1: and she's she doesn't realize she's antagonizing the dogs, and
Speaker 1: because they're going crazy, they see her, but they can't
Speaker 1: understand why she's not getting out of Now are they
Speaker 1: the kind of dogs that are so frenetic they start peeing? No, no,
Speaker 1: but they'll they'll run to the window, run to the door,
Speaker 1: they'll run around the house letting everyone know that Mom's home.
Speaker 1: I understand so that they're communicating. So you can understand
Speaker 1: your language because you see it all the time. It's
Speaker 1: a it's like being a parent. You know your kids
Speaker 1: usually well, nicolt Chillo had a my friend back in
Speaker 1: the eighth grade. I'll never forget this. She had a
Speaker 1: dog and every time me and my friends would go
Speaker 1: over the house, my friends and I there you go,
Speaker 1: went over the house, she would the dog would go crazy,
Speaker 1: just like your dogs are doing that right now. But
Speaker 1: the dog would start peeing uncontrollably, and the dogs will
Speaker 1: go the dog will worrow ups with just spraying piss everywhere,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm like, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1: So so she had to like find ways to gently
Speaker 1: introduce people into our house. If I had a pet,
Speaker 1: that pete every time we got a company, I mean,
Speaker 1: they weren't. I don't know what I would do. How
Speaker 1: would you? How do you even curtail that you don't
Speaker 1: have company? So, Okay, that's true, that's fair, But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying hypothetically, speakingly hypothetically, that's not It's not like
Speaker 1: every dog does that. It's it's a every once in
Speaker 1: a while you come across the dog that gets so excited.
Speaker 1: But if you want make sure everyone who comes in
Speaker 1: the house treats them like shit, and then they won't
Speaker 1: be excited that people are coming over. There could be
Speaker 1: that that's conditioning, or you know, maybe the when I
Speaker 1: finally come to your house, uh uh and I get
Speaker 1: that invite to your pool, I'll be so excited I
Speaker 1: got the invite that I just may pee all over
Speaker 1: your house or the pool. Yeah, that's another reason you're
Speaker 1: not coming, you know, so you're gonna relegate me to
Speaker 1: COVID beach is that it's listen every time I even
Speaker 1: think about, yeah, maybe I have scary come over that
Speaker 1: I have. The pool is is wide enough and long
Speaker 1: enough that we could definitely keep distance. Uh, I see
Speaker 1: you going. You you were at a hotel that we
Speaker 1: talked about in the last podcast, which clearly you were
Speaker 1: promoting as as being paid for the Berkeley Waterfront Hotel.
Speaker 1: It's the Berkeley Waterfront and Asbury Park, and I was
Speaker 1: not being paid to be there. Scary, I was not
Speaker 1: being paid to be there. I could easily tell you
Speaker 1: hit the jingle now you could, but you don't have to.
Speaker 1: We can bypass that because I wasn't being paid. They're
Speaker 1: not a sponsor, hashtag not a sponsor. I'd love to
Speaker 1: have them as this. Okay, you're gonna you are about
Speaker 1: to hit the jingle on me because I got free sauce.
Speaker 1: Do you want to know? Well, then you know what.
Speaker 1: Let's call it. Even as even we're both we're both
Speaker 1: we're both on the same level on that you're getting jaws,
Speaker 1: six jars and tomato sauce versus a week and a
Speaker 1: half at a luxury hotel on the Jersey Shore. They were.
Speaker 1: They had me try the Johnny Cash suite, so that
Speaker 1: they did so. Johnny Cash owned the Pills Sleep in
Speaker 1: a Burning Ring of fire. In the eighties, he owned
Speaker 1: the Aftwear Black. No, it's actually really cool. Hotel has
Speaker 1: a long storied passed. Uh so it's haunted. If you
Speaker 1: could google this, it's a googleble thing. Uh please, And
Speaker 1: by no other reason, I'm just gonna mention the title.
Speaker 1: The last guy who paid for a room there. No
Speaker 1: sailors got stricken with disease on a ship back in
Speaker 1: the ninet whatever it was. Thank god, there's nothing like
Speaker 1: that going on now. Scurvy Jones had to stay there
Speaker 1: back a hundred years later. So so they that they
Speaker 1: died in the hotel. The hotel kept them there and
Speaker 1: they all died. So the third floor, especial Chilly is haunted.
Speaker 1: But no, no, it's a good kind of haunted. However,
Speaker 1: they don't sell rooms to the public. I mean a
Speaker 1: good kind of haunted. Well, they're not gonna kill. It's
Speaker 1: not the Exorcist, it's not Paltergeist. It's not it's not
Speaker 1: the Amityville horror kind of for the friendly haunting yeah,
Speaker 1: but but apparently things like lights go on and off
Speaker 1: and all kinds of electric ship happens. But here's the
Speaker 1: thing that sounds like a rundown, like a bad building.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like haunting. I think that's like, oh
Speaker 1: we did, we did have an electrician come in andfessionally
Speaker 1: wire but let's just say it's haunted. Anyway. It's a
Speaker 1: fun restored, renovated hotel. But they don't sell rooms on
Speaker 1: the third floor. For that reason, the third floor is
Speaker 1: off limits. In fact, the elevator doesn't even stop at
Speaker 1: the third floor. Why would you waste the floor there's
Speaker 1: no button? Well, because well, they well they they they've
Speaker 1: now in modern times they've used that for for other things,
Speaker 1: offices and other If there was such a thing as
Speaker 1: ghosts switch there isn't. You're telling me that ghosts couldn't
Speaker 1: go to the fourth floor. They don't pass through the floors.
Speaker 1: They don't. No in fact, so so I stayed in
Speaker 1: this renovated suite that they wanted to showcase. And a
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, whatever it was, they know what floor
Speaker 1: every sailor was on. Johnny Cash was not hold on.
Speaker 1: He owned the building and that was his private that
Speaker 1: was his private suite. So I was I had the
Speaker 1: I was, I was honored to stay there and I
Speaker 1: had not one. No, it was the top, it was
Speaker 1: the eighth floor. But my point is it was I
Speaker 1: I stayed there, and I was. I was not haunting that.
Speaker 1: Not one night that I wake up and feel like
Speaker 1: someone was breathing on me. Now one night that I was.
Speaker 1: Now one night that I feel like like lights turned
Speaker 1: off or on in the middle of the night, and
Speaker 1: where I heard voices or sort of apparitions. See if
Speaker 1: you get your money back, No, listen to me, I'm saying, okay.
Speaker 1: So so so they put together this, but but also
Speaker 1: they elevated the food situation. They brought a new chef in.
Speaker 1: And you saw two DJs by the pool because they
Speaker 1: started this this kind of like this elevated pool party
Speaker 1: on like on a Saturday afternoon. So these two shirtless
Speaker 1: d jay's were We're like, you know, they're like I
Speaker 1: called them chain Smokers Jr. They were mixing by the
Speaker 1: pool and they will play in all these classics and
Speaker 1: all these great songs, like whipping out songs in the
Speaker 1: nineties and two thousands. I'm like, oh, ship, what a
Speaker 1: throwback these oh wow moments, you know, and we're hanging
Speaker 1: out by the pool and we're just good vibes and
Speaker 1: and then you know you have to like like yuck,
Speaker 1: my yum and the poop poo and my coco puffs
Speaker 1: and like, scary, what are you doing over there? No
Speaker 1: one's wearing a mask like. I didn't say that. I
Speaker 1: just said it looked. It looked a little, uh, a
Speaker 1: little like COVID beach, is what I said. We weren't.
Speaker 1: We were in our own groups. Just so you know,
Speaker 1: we were socially distant. You know, ay close to the
Speaker 1: DJ's you are. You're way too close. I have a
Speaker 1: good lens on my fucking iPhone. Okay, the camera I
Speaker 1: was actually zooming was suming. So anyway, it's like you
Speaker 1: were like four feet. But but I did a stay
Speaker 1: cation of sorts, right right, which is by the way,
Speaker 1: staycation is when you drive somewhere close. Not not true,
Speaker 1: that is nope, nope. What is your stay cation? Then
Speaker 1: stay at hall, you do some things around the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: A staycation doesn't mean you travel an hour and a
Speaker 1: half from your home and go to a hotel on
Speaker 1: a beach. A staycation is relevant to your travels, your
Speaker 1: normal travel plans. Normally I'm I'm the funk out of
Speaker 1: out of this country. Okay, normally I'm out of the state.
Speaker 1: So if you if relative to my normal vacation plans,
Speaker 1: I stayed and drove an hour to Asbury Park. Go ahead, you,
Speaker 1: I see, I hear you clacking away at the computer
Speaker 1: trying to look for stay cation. Type it in. Get ahead.
Speaker 1: What does Miriam Webster stay What does Miriam have to
Speaker 1: say about this? Well, the Google, No, the Google. The
Speaker 1: Google says it's a trip spent at home or involving
Speaker 1: day trips to local attractions. Okay, that's a day trip
Speaker 1: to a local attraction, except that last days I slept
Speaker 1: there though, and then then, by the way, it's not
Speaker 1: a day trip. Then I came home, and then I
Speaker 1: went the other direction to mont Talk and I went
Speaker 1: out there for a few and that's here. Okay. People
Speaker 1: ask what is considered a staycation. From Wikipedia, it's a
Speaker 1: period in which an individual or family stays home and
Speaker 1: participates in leisure activities within driving distance of their home,
Speaker 1: and does not require overnight accommodations. Says, oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: last part fucked me, fuck you Wick. So you went
Speaker 1: on a stay at a hotel vacation. You went on
Speaker 1: to stay there, casion, not a vacation. You went on
Speaker 1: to stay there. That's it for Scary Jones. That's to
Speaker 1: say that's a stay cation. Okay, I didn't get on
Speaker 1: a plane and I didn't. And by the way, I
Speaker 1: am okay. I have a couple of things that happened.
Speaker 1: First of all, one thing that I need your opinion on.
Speaker 1: And I touched on this briefly. I don't actually I
Speaker 1: don't know if I brought this on the Big Show.
Speaker 1: So uh, I went to okay, picture this. I'm leaving
Speaker 1: my hotel room. I did talk about this very briefly.
Speaker 1: I leave my hotel room. And then and then I
Speaker 1: go to the elevator bank. Okay, is the four spots
Speaker 1: on the floor thing? Four spots on the floor? Yes?
Speaker 1: And you you okay? This afternoon you texted me and said,
Speaker 1: what do you want talking about the podcast? I said, well,
Speaker 1: you had you had a lot going on in the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. I'm gonna rely on you for
Speaker 1: some stories. And you said, oh, I got some stuff
Speaker 1: from the Big Show. I said, okay, Um, just nothing
Speaker 1: that you talked about on the air a lot, and
Speaker 1: the only thing I was thinking of was this story,
Speaker 1: and you said no, no, no, I got stuff. So, um,
Speaker 1: go ahead, circle story. Because I have an opinion which
Speaker 1: I didn't get to share on the big show. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think people would be very upset about this. I'm upset. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So he let me just lay this out really quickly
Speaker 1: out and then we really have to take a freaking
Speaker 1: break here. Um, this is very simple. Okay. There's four slots.
Speaker 1: There's there's four spots on the elevator. All these modern
Speaker 1: day at post COVID situations, there's literally four circles in
Speaker 1: every elevator. That's how you get. An elevator is basically
Speaker 1: a square mostly so so, so two women walk in.
Speaker 1: Two women walk in there waiting for their third friend,
Speaker 1: I rabbi and want I want a priest, right, so right,
Speaker 1: So two women walk into an elevator. I I actually
Speaker 1: get there before the third friend hold the door. The
Speaker 1: third friend bypasses me, says, oh, thank you for holding
Speaker 1: the door, gets in the third slot, and then I'm
Speaker 1: going to go in slot number four in the fourth corner.
Speaker 1: And then she looks at me and with a hellish grin,
Speaker 1: and we're all wearing masks. She says, hey, um, you
Speaker 1: aren't gonna come in here with us, right, And I'm
Speaker 1: like I was. They're like, she's, well, you're gonna take
Speaker 1: the next You're gonna take the next car. I said,
Speaker 1: does it make you uncomfortable if I take if I
Speaker 1: jump in here? She was, yeah, I would prefer if
Speaker 1: you take the next car. So I'm like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: fucking held the door for this bitch, and the door closed,
Speaker 1: the door closed, hold on, the door closes, and I'm
Speaker 1: standing there with my dick in my hand. Well, that's
Speaker 1: probably why they didn't let you on the elevator. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's fucking bullshit. If I may rant for a second,
Speaker 1: I don't get angry or on this podcast, but I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: there's a reason why there's four fucking slots on that elevator.
Speaker 1: There's four corners. Whoa, whoa, whoa. There you refer to
Speaker 1: them as women, don't be rude. There's four spots on
Speaker 1: the elevator, Okay, on all four corners, and it's it
Speaker 1: literally snickers on the floor. But hold on which corner
Speaker 1: was available? The back corner of the front front corner.
Speaker 1: They all walked past them to get into the back.
Speaker 1: The front one was available, the front one next to
Speaker 1: the buttons too. They hit there. But so so all
Speaker 1: I do was just kind of slide in and turn around,
Speaker 1: and it would have been good. But after I had
Speaker 1: the decency to be a gentleman and hold the door,
Speaker 1: she all of a sudden decides that elevators are It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that there's four slots on the elevator. Elevators
Speaker 1: are just for groups. So if I'm a group, if
Speaker 1: I'm a party of one or a party of two,
Speaker 1: we're a party of three, we get our own car.
Speaker 1: Go fund yourself. So what would have happened if you
Speaker 1: were the first one in and the three of them?
Speaker 1: You think they would have bailed and said we'll wait
Speaker 1: for the next one. That's not my problem because I'm
Speaker 1: in the elevator. What if they wanted to get in
Speaker 1: the elevator you said no, no, no, I mean I
Speaker 1: bought him a party. I wouldn't have said that because
Speaker 1: I'm not an asshole. No, I'm saying, would they have
Speaker 1: been okay with that? Right? If these people are willing?
Speaker 1: I would if I would have went in first. You
Speaker 1: went in first, and then they wanted to get on,
Speaker 1: and they were like, you know you, and you said
Speaker 1: to them hypothetically, yeah, I'm not comfortable you three jamming
Speaker 1: in this elevator. I'm sorry. By their by their logic,
Speaker 1: they should have been like, oh, that makes total sense.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. Yeah. But the thing is, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been that way because to me, the rules are the etiquette,
Speaker 1: the the modern day elevator post COVID elevator rules are,
Speaker 1: if there are four spots, I get you, you got four,
Speaker 1: The next four people go. If you want to choose
Speaker 1: to stand back because you you want to you you
Speaker 1: want to wait for your ends, because maybe maybe me
Speaker 1: and my friend would make five and we wait. Of
Speaker 1: course we're not gonna jam into an elevator. But if
Speaker 1: I'm by myself and your three party at three, I'm
Speaker 1: that fourth person, you don't have a right to tell
Speaker 1: me to fucking okay, sorry, take the next one down? Right?
Speaker 1: But then, why didn't you get on? Because it made
Speaker 1: her uncomfortable? I could tell I could, I could see
Speaker 1: the look in her eyes. Well, had you gotten on,
Speaker 1: they would have been given you the evil I the
Speaker 1: whole ride. Well, I wasn't about to argue with you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just just people need to be people
Speaker 1: need to need to wake the funk up and realize
Speaker 1: that you know, there are rules set in place, and
Speaker 1: it's not my problem that I'm I'm not part of
Speaker 1: your party. You aren't breaking the rules, you aren't the
Speaker 1: fifth four right now? Would you have been happy if
Speaker 1: the elevator got stuck without you on it? What if
Speaker 1: if a fucking ghost would have just shook the elevator.
Speaker 1: Let's say they tried to get off on the third
Speaker 1: floor and it was haunted and they couldn't get off
Speaker 1: and the elevator got stuck in the building, we would
Speaker 1: have been like Karma would not have exactly, Well, Karen's
Speaker 1: a bit three. Karen's well, what are the other two
Speaker 1: women say? Anything? All happened? That looked like sorry, it
Speaker 1: all happened so quickly. It was just her and she
Speaker 1: was allowed mouth. Well, you were still holding the door,
Speaker 1: so why didn't you get a couple of verbal shots
Speaker 1: in with the door open? You're holding the door open, right,
Speaker 1: you could have said like, I don't understand, I'll be
Speaker 1: facing the wall with my mask on. Yeah, well, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what I should have. I should have just
Speaker 1: taken should have had a pork chop with me and
Speaker 1: just flung it down the hallway. Maybe she would have
Speaker 1: chased after it. I'm not gonna say anything further about her. Wow,
Speaker 1: then I would have gotten the elevator. Wow. I don't
Speaker 1: think you know, now that I'm thinking about it, it
Speaker 1: was probably there probably was no room for me, now
Speaker 1: that i'm thinking about it, if I really want to
Speaker 1: go there. So you're insinua. I'm not saying anything. You
Speaker 1: could form your own limit. It's an old, old hotel,
Speaker 1: an old elevator. You know what, Now that I think
Speaker 1: about it, then maybe maybe that's what they were concerned with,
Speaker 1: that they were taking up more than their own one
Speaker 1: space in the elevator. Right, But you're not fourth quarters ary,
Speaker 1: so that you would know it wasn't me. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been me. I saw the pictures you were wearing
Speaker 1: your slimming pink shorts. Yeah, that was like, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta hit them angles man. Yeah, I did your
Speaker 1: favorite shot. You thought. You know, a lot of people
Speaker 1: gained the COVID nineteen. I did not. I'm Okay, I
Speaker 1: will say this though I've been cooking a lot, and
Speaker 1: I hadn't been taking out, but the last three weeks
Speaker 1: from vacation on it's been nothing but eating out and
Speaker 1: and getting take out. And I'm not gonna lie. I've
Speaker 1: gained about six seven pounds just from that. So I've
Speaker 1: got to put a stop to it right now, because no,
Speaker 1: this is it's not going in that direction. It's not
Speaker 1: well not having I've spent the whole COVID pandemic since
Speaker 1: March uh probably snacking more, eating much bigger meals to
Speaker 1: support the local restaurants. I have not gained a pound
Speaker 1: because I'm burning it off sitting on the couch. Well,
Speaker 1: God bless no idea how I have no idea how
Speaker 1: I haven't gained the OVID. That's crazy. Um. Anyway, all
Speaker 1: I could say is this that, Yeah, we'll take a
Speaker 1: break here. Just I just wanted to say that that's
Speaker 1: a lot about this story. Yeah, like I I get
Speaker 1: it because I'm gonna tell you a story in a
Speaker 1: little while about a doctor appointment that you're gonna go. Well,
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't let me an elevator if you're doing
Speaker 1: the right thing. I would let you an elevator. Thank
Speaker 1: you appreciate scary and rody man. I didn't. I just skimmed.
Speaker 1: I just skimmed the uh the list here of things.
Speaker 1: I just got one thing at him. But it was
Speaker 1: a good thing, Okay. Yeah, you know, and something I
Speaker 1: learned in in um in mont Talk. And they probably
Speaker 1: don't want me to talk about this, but this is
Speaker 1: a Scamboni explained Montalk to people. Oh. Mont Talk is
Speaker 1: the eastern part of Long Island. It's also the most
Speaker 1: low key part of the Hampton's argue what they called
Speaker 1: Long Island Long Island. Yes, now it's it's the North Fork.
Speaker 1: It's a no, it's the South South Fork, the Longer Fork. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never I don't think i've ever been. Well, it's
Speaker 1: an old it's an old fisherman's town, which is not
Speaker 1: turned kind of cool. I guess it's only for old
Speaker 1: fisherman it was back in the day. It was an
Speaker 1: old fishing town. Okay, So here's an old fisherman town,
Speaker 1: old fisher an old fishing town. Some trout and and
Speaker 1: and jingle ready to get ready like you get it ready, like,
Speaker 1: but uh, I don't know what you're talking about I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, is this okay that mont Talk Long Island
Speaker 1: is part of the Hampton's. The Hampton's known for American
Speaker 1: knows it as oh did he and did he? And
Speaker 1: his white part is and the right specifically, there was
Speaker 1: a build up over the years and and the burble,
Speaker 1: the bubble burst on those East Hampton fancishmunt supporters. I mean,
Speaker 1: believe me, those well to do people still live out
Speaker 1: there and have their fucking mansions. But but this was
Speaker 1: the millennial, millennials answer. Montalk was the millennials answer to
Speaker 1: all that crap. They wanted to just go drink cheap beer,
Speaker 1: play hockey sack and corn hole and and connect four
Speaker 1: on lawn and just just don't want to have to
Speaker 1: pay for uh, you know, bottle service and stuff. So
Speaker 1: what they did was they migrated. This new group of
Speaker 1: people migrated to Montalk. And by the way, they do
Speaker 1: not the old fisherman in town people, they do not.
Speaker 1: They don't mix well the old people that have been
Speaker 1: there forever and these people that come out there for
Speaker 1: the summer. But again, these are people just looking for
Speaker 1: no hype, you know, just wanted just like a good
Speaker 1: chill time in Montalk. So when you were four or five,
Speaker 1: Jersey I understand. I took a four day break in
Speaker 1: my heated my apartment, which was roasting because for some reason,
Speaker 1: my h VAC the I don't know, the a C
Speaker 1: was out. All I could say is I got back
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night from the Jersey Shore, and then
Speaker 1: by Tuesday afternoon, I'm like, I gotta get the funk
Speaker 1: out here again. And it was just crazy. I had
Speaker 1: to leave. So by Thursday, I'm like, I'm doing a weekend.
Speaker 1: My next weekend is going to be out Montalk. I'm
Speaker 1: going in the other direction. And right. So I was
Speaker 1: at I was at an event where or at an
Speaker 1: event I was. I was at a table, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they were like, hey, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: do like a little bottles a bottles parade, you know,
Speaker 1: with sparklers and things. Hold on, I know you hate that.
Speaker 1: Oh you know me, twist my arm, but no bottle. No. Now.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing the place had. The place had
Speaker 1: socially distanced everybody. Everyone was social distance at at these tables. Okay,
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, I get you know, everyone
Speaker 1: was at the picnic tables of you know, your party
Speaker 1: of ten or less, and and they were doing everything
Speaker 1: the right way. It was an absolute amazing night. Okay,
Speaker 1: the DJ was everyone had masks on, the girls that
Speaker 1: were dancing had masks on, and and then every time
Speaker 1: they would do the bottles and all that stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: they're like, h, I bring out the bottles and then
Speaker 1: they would have a confetti cannon and sparklers and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I feel so bad because the place that
Speaker 1: we were at, they they kept all the rules in place.
Speaker 1: They did it so had they have ten thousand square
Speaker 1: feet outside, plenty of room to do what they did, right.
Speaker 1: And then a Karen called the fucking cops because of
Speaker 1: a noise violation, which they later found out to be
Speaker 1: somebody who works for the local Montauk newspaper who was
Speaker 1: one of those old Fisherman town people who doesn't who
Speaker 1: didn't doesn't like the parties that go on or any
Speaker 1: place that opens up that with any kind of uh exuberance. Right,
Speaker 1: So they just want to make a life living hell,
Speaker 1: especially for businesses trying to get back on their feet. Right.
Speaker 1: So so she so they called, she's called for noise
Speaker 1: violations and I don't know who wasn't made the call.
Speaker 1: There's a freedom Act of some sort, freedom of information.
Speaker 1: At yes, there is fom of information. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that you can. You can anonymously tip off the police, right,
Speaker 1: you have to give your name. What for it was?
Speaker 1: They knew it was her and coming from her, and
Speaker 1: she was a quarter and but no, and she should
Speaker 1: have been. It was the same type of woman. She
Speaker 1: was a quarter of a mile away, just filing every night,
Speaker 1: calling the cops, just trying to get them. Meanwhile, the
Speaker 1: owner was so diligent. He had a decibel meter and
Speaker 1: he would go out beyond the property around the perimeter
Speaker 1: to make sure they were they were within their decibels
Speaker 1: on the property line, let alone a quarter mile away
Speaker 1: with it anyway, did did they explain the decibel meter? Well,
Speaker 1: here's the problem. They ding them for the fucking sparklers.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that this place there's up on page
Speaker 1: six of the New York Post from two days ago.
Speaker 1: It will tell you you're googling that right now. Nope,
Speaker 1: that Rush Meyers had a totally socially distant party and
Speaker 1: what jingle, I don't know what you're talking about. Hit
Speaker 1: I did not get paid to be there, Mr bitch,
Speaker 1: you know what, I did not get paid to be there.
Speaker 1: I'm not hold on you compared my free tomato sauce,
Speaker 1: which has a value of maybe fifteen bucks twenty bucks
Speaker 1: to your week and a half of the hotel. You said,
Speaker 1: even now, you're going to rushmire whatever it's called. It's tried.
Speaker 1: It's tried. You're not gonna hit the jingle on tribe. Hey, no,
Speaker 1: it's hit the jingle. It's tribe head to jingle. By
Speaker 1: the way, how low is the volume on that jingle?
Speaker 1: I could barely hear it. Well, that's that's actually too
Speaker 1: much volume. So so anyway, if you look in the post,
Speaker 1: it said, we'll say blank, so we don't have to
Speaker 1: jingle again. Yeah. Um, having socially distant party within all
Speaker 1: the bounds yet gets dinged for sparklers because they had
Speaker 1: to find them on something, right, I don't understand the skin,
Speaker 1: will you? Okay? Core to them. According to local authorities
Speaker 1: who confiscated two cases of the little spark of the Sparklers,
Speaker 1: they say that a sparkler is illegal and it's a
Speaker 1: firework in the state of New York, so who knows.
Speaker 1: They may take him to court, but they got fined
Speaker 1: pretty heavily, pretty pretty pretty fun up though, because you
Speaker 1: know they all they market sells fireworks in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: like real fireworks, not like M A. D S, but
Speaker 1: you know, like stuff that shoots off sparks and colors.
Speaker 1: These are the sparklers you attached to a goddamn Tito's
Speaker 1: bottle as you're as you're parading it through the like
Speaker 1: nor any liquor bottle or any liquor bottle. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not sponsored here. We're open for that, by the way,
Speaker 1: and by the way, we talked about that like six
Speaker 1: episodes ago. You can see I could have easily said
Speaker 1: Sky Vodka there, if Sky Vodka would have advertised hit it.
Speaker 1: I'm not. No. I know Sky has never been a
Speaker 1: part of our fucking show, and nor do I drink
Speaker 1: that normally. Have I ever been endorsing that? So don't,
Speaker 1: And there's no hitting enough. You've never You've never endorsed
Speaker 1: Sky Vodka. Never, never, never. If you get the endorsement
Speaker 1: from this, you have to. I've only done Great Goose
Speaker 1: an Tito, but not are you currently doing either of them? Okay,
Speaker 1: but truth be told, that's what this is what they do.
Speaker 1: They have to give you a fine. Somehow, they gotta
Speaker 1: do something. And I think it sucks because this guy
Speaker 1: is a really great owner. He's a wonderful guy. He
Speaker 1: brought in a chef from New York City, um and
Speaker 1: um who's been working on his restaurant forever. Dining. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a nice place. The restaurant is called Etiquette. And
Speaker 1: if you ever they're out there, go see them. But
Speaker 1: I did not get that. What stop stop it, stopping
Speaker 1: this in the place. For that, I'll kill you. I
Speaker 1: would slap your hand right now if you are Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't I want to tell people about a great a
Speaker 1: place to eat, great place? Why should they listen to
Speaker 1: you like this? We talked about this before. Why shouldst restaurant?
Speaker 1: All the time you said you people have to go
Speaker 1: and try for themselves, that they have to try. You've
Speaker 1: never like, you've never ever mentioned the name of a
Speaker 1: business that you've that you've actually because I I tell
Speaker 1: I disclose, I tell you, oh I I went to
Speaker 1: this place. Did not earn a penny, did not earn
Speaker 1: a penny from these places. Let's move on. Let's move on.
Speaker 1: Um Uh. Speaking of earning a penny. We we I
Speaker 1: started talking about this a minute ago. We we threw
Speaker 1: this out there for you guys, like five six weeks
Speaker 1: ago because we knew in the lulls of the summertime
Speaker 1: we would have less sponsors. And we said, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: if you want to promote a product, your own restaurant,
Speaker 1: your own business, your bagel store, whatever, email us. That
Speaker 1: was Brooklyn the Brooklyn Boys at gmail dot, the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys Podcast at gmail dot. A lot the type man,
Speaker 1: it's it's the name of our show, the Brooklyn Boys Podcast.
Speaker 1: That you could have done like Brooklyn Boys at Gmail
Speaker 1: was really all right, So you guys could sponsor your
Speaker 1: own place and get a mentioned for a really like
Speaker 1: as a goof almost like a reasonable amount of money.
Speaker 1: We were like, oh, you know whatever, Nobody hit us up,
Speaker 1: so it's your loss. The sales going away soon. Speaking
Speaker 1: of sales, I wanted a special shout out to Vinnie.
Speaker 1: Vinny is a slice and Vinnie has been I've been
Speaker 1: driving Vinny crazy, so Vinny, I apologize. Vinny took up
Speaker 1: the challenge that I mentioned here on the podcast, and
Speaker 1: he has been photo shopping the f out of our
Speaker 1: logo for the Brooklyn Boys podcast. We're getting a new
Speaker 1: logo or an alternate logo. Nope, we've changed. We've inverted
Speaker 1: the colors from blue and orange to orange and blue.
Speaker 1: We've done some re shading of the letters to make
Speaker 1: them more bold. We've changed the background color from orange
Speaker 1: to blue um. And so we're preparing different versions of
Speaker 1: the logo thanks to Vinnie, because we're gonna put that
Speaker 1: logo on merchandise soon, probably as the summer is coming
Speaker 1: to an end. But I think the first thing we're
Speaker 1: gonna make available, and we've talked about it well scary
Speaker 1: and I have to pick it out, is probably gonna
Speaker 1: be a mask with our go on it. Now. I
Speaker 1: had a question if you put the logo in the middle,
Speaker 1: like we're like the middle of the mask, right, because
Speaker 1: I have a Mets mask with the Met logo right
Speaker 1: right by the mouth, like right in the middle. It
Speaker 1: sort of looks like your bane from the Batman movies,
Speaker 1: right right, But it looks good when it's not on
Speaker 1: your face, but then when's on your face, it moves
Speaker 1: when you talk. And would it be cooler because I
Speaker 1: also have a Mets mask with the with the logo
Speaker 1: on the side I think the side is the way
Speaker 1: to go. So it doesn't move centered right off centered,
Speaker 1: so if someone's on your right, they're not gonna see it,
Speaker 1: but if they're on your left they will, or vice
Speaker 1: vice versa. So I think off centers the way to go. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: let listen, speaking of the logo, um and things like that,
Speaker 1: we wanted to we have an email for that, which
Speaker 1: will kick off an email segment here because we have
Speaker 1: a lot of funny and cool comments because we've been
Speaker 1: away for a while. You wind if we do a
Speaker 1: little mail time right here. I don't mind. I don't
Speaker 1: mind that at all. I just want to say, remind
Speaker 1: me about the fan on facebook page, the Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 1: fan facebook page, not our facebook page, the fane. We
Speaker 1: have an update, okay, coming right up after this talk.
Speaker 1: He just made a sign with doing a commercial. It's
Speaker 1: mail time. Welcome. You've got mail, You could always email
Speaker 1: us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: And hopefully you're not so tired from typing the email
Speaker 1: address that you thought. Okay, Brodio try and I'm gonna try,
Speaker 1: and uh it's too late now with zero This is true,
Speaker 1: Malia Ballas wrote to us regarding our logo color alteration request, says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Brooken boys, you may remember me as the person who
Speaker 1: created the float chart for your podcast back in episode
Speaker 1: sixty seven. Graphic designer from Harrisburg p A And uh,
Speaker 1: I know I'm replying more than two days after the
Speaker 1: podcast has come out. It's actually about a month. But
Speaker 1: if you don't have already have it fixed, I'd be
Speaker 1: happy to take a look at your low. So she's
Speaker 1: got five years of experience and photo shopping all this
Speaker 1: stuff she's sending her resume and photo editing and images. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's just the file. So if, by the way, if
Speaker 1: this this person falls through, Brodie, we can, we can.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to shout her out because it's very
Speaker 1: very nice of her. Now. Also also the wonderful people
Speaker 1: who created a Monopoly game, we we have to reach
Speaker 1: back out to them. We may have to put out
Speaker 1: the the sort of looks like Monopoly but not exactly
Speaker 1: Monopoly game. But they're also designers. But if then he's
Speaker 1: got a COVID right now now, Fernando Almeida road to
Speaker 1: us and said that he loves our show started at zero.
Speaker 1: Good thing about the quarantine is allowed me to catch
Speaker 1: up to the last episode, all the way up to
Speaker 1: number one thirty five. Oh is this number one thirty six? No,
Speaker 1: it's anyway. I was going the way I was going.
Speaker 1: I thought I would listen a year from now you
Speaker 1: guys talking about the virus. But it was episode one
Speaker 1: thirty three where Brodie didn't understand the shortage of up
Speaker 1: tops of electronics stores and it was due to the
Speaker 1: online learning home schooling element. I don't have Twitter, so
Speaker 1: I couldn't tweet you. I hope there are no grammar errors.
Speaker 1: Don't want the police after me. Been also listening to
Speaker 1: Z one hundred A long time up spoke too soon.
Speaker 1: There's that grammar error. A long time as he wrote
Speaker 1: as one word since Elvis was on the four o'clock
Speaker 1: show and Danielle was an intern. Thank you, Fernando, Love you.
Speaker 1: That came in. By the way, to our official Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys Facebook fan page. That's where that email came from.
Speaker 1: Brodie's gonna tell you about the other one and just
Speaker 1: the second. Uh. Dion Luffman says, hey, guys, Slice for Life,
Speaker 1: been listening since the beginning. Love you all and you
Speaker 1: love you both in your chemistry. Missed a couple of
Speaker 1: episodes and was catching up on what I missed and
Speaker 1: caught Mama Brody on episode grumbling about orange juice. Now
Speaker 1: I know from previous episodes that Brody is a costco aficionado,
Speaker 1: as am I, and I wanted to suggest that the
Speaker 1: next time you go on a costco run, try to
Speaker 1: Kirkland Organic o J for yourself and especially for Mama Brody.
Speaker 1: It's amazingly delicious. It will spoil you for all other
Speaker 1: orange juice. I'll send you some free ship for us,
Speaker 1: but it has to stay refrigerated to stay good, so
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna send you any And it's not gonna
Speaker 1: solve the o J problem from people's from skipping on
Speaker 1: the size. But I think she's gonna love it. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, And she sent a picture of the
Speaker 1: orange juice Kirkland's Organic, speaking of the o J problem,
Speaker 1: if you can, may I tangent here. No, they did
Speaker 1: not well, they did convict him of something else. If
Speaker 1: you remember, if you're old enough to remember, when they
Speaker 1: the police wanted to arrest O. J. Simpson the first
Speaker 1: time he and his friend jumped in a white Ford
Speaker 1: Bronco and they chased him across Major Parkway in southern California,
Speaker 1: and so um Apparently O J was ducked down in
Speaker 1: the back and his friend Cowlings was driving the Broncos.
Speaker 1: So it became synonymous the Ford Bronco with O J
Speaker 1: and the car chase that went on for for seemingly
Speaker 1: hours and interrupted a Knicks playoff game. Anyway, and this
Speaker 1: I believe, I said, I believe, but I know it
Speaker 1: was Anyway. A couple of years after that, the Ford
Speaker 1: stopped making the Ford Bronco, which was a big suv
Speaker 1: that looked like the Ford Explorer like Square. It was
Speaker 1: a big, big like Anyway, they announced this week the
Speaker 1: return of the Ford Bronco, which, by the way, Gandhi
Speaker 1: from our morning show, her boyfriend lives in Michigan and
Speaker 1: he works. He works on something to do with Ford. Uh,
Speaker 1: either either with a company that markets the car. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he does. The pictures of this thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's not a it's not an suv anymore. Now
Speaker 1: it's a it's a not a sponsor. It's now a
Speaker 1: main competitor to the Jeep Wrangler, So it's a it's
Speaker 1: a boxing popless jeep. I can't I can't call it
Speaker 1: a jeep because that's trademarked. It's owned by the good
Speaker 1: folks at Chrysler, uh Christ or Fiat anyway, Chrystler rather
Speaker 1: the new Bronco, which is back now. It tops out
Speaker 1: of no no, no, not like the old Bronco. It
Speaker 1: looks fantastic, and so I'm like, oh and and the
Speaker 1: reviews were like, and it's affordable. So I started looking
Speaker 1: it up. It doesn't come out until spring, and so
Speaker 1: it's it's like, oh, under starting it under thirty thousand, right,
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, like so you know twenty nine thou
Speaker 1: almost right? Like like when you sell stuff on on online,
Speaker 1: you always put the right, always right. So if you
Speaker 1: want it with four doors and wheels, it's close to forty,
Speaker 1: which you can go up as high as sixty. But
Speaker 1: they get you starting starting. As soon as you see
Speaker 1: that word starting, you know that you, yeah, you're not
Speaker 1: getting the model that you're gonna end up walking out
Speaker 1: the door with. You're gonna getting the one that they
Speaker 1: sell to. The rental car agencies that have you know,
Speaker 1: crank you have to crank up the windows by hand.
Speaker 1: They have a m radio no FM that's what you get,
Speaker 1: you get. You get manual rooms, yeah, manual transmission and
Speaker 1: uh manuals yeah, and and and no no power steering.
Speaker 1: They still make cars with no power steering right to
Speaker 1: actually turn the wheel. Roof is actually a hole in
Speaker 1: the roof. That's what you get under thirty. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the car looks hot. But reminded me because you said
Speaker 1: O J So I'm sorry, that's okay. Listen. Oh look,
Speaker 1: so Thomas Gavin wrote to us UH and said, hey,
Speaker 1: Skerri and Brody O b R O D I U second, dude.
Speaker 1: And not only that, though, he goes on to say,
Speaker 1: just wanted to make Brody rant a bit ha ha.
Speaker 1: New listener to the podcast, But I've been listening to
Speaker 1: The Big Show over twenty years, originally from Staten Island
Speaker 1: and listen to you guys brings me back. Started listening
Speaker 1: in episode one twenty and have recently started over. I'm
Speaker 1: currently in episode fifteen and very happy I started from
Speaker 1: the start. I have noticed a notice that the pizza
Speaker 1: on the logo never got changed. It still is currently Pepperoni. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know what I should have asked Vinnie
Speaker 1: to change it. The sausage with all the work he's doing,
Speaker 1: but he's doing me so much he's doing anyway. I'm
Speaker 1: currently looking for a pool and now something I have
Speaker 1: never done before has showed grammar police. But he spells
Speaker 1: at g R A M E R. I think he's
Speaker 1: doing that to piss us off um all because of
Speaker 1: you guys. Check it out the way they spelled in ground.
Speaker 1: I also want to point out that an episode twelve,
Speaker 1: the topic of sucking your own dick comes up an
Speaker 1: episode twelve and Scary admits a long time ago that
Speaker 1: if he could, if he could, he would never leave
Speaker 1: the house. See that's transparency and that's honesty right there.
Speaker 1: I'm consistent. In episode twelve, I said that, and I
Speaker 1: said hold on, wait, hold on, let me finish the email.
Speaker 1: It is only now that we found out he did
Speaker 1: try it. You guys are great. I enjoy listening while
Speaker 1: I'm driving around throughout my work day. Hope everyone had
Speaker 1: a great Fourth of July. And then he shows dispelling
Speaker 1: error of semi in ground pool, which is just semi
Speaker 1: and gruned that his atrocious type. Yeah, oh he wh
Speaker 1: By the way, he wrote back afterwards, Brody, sorry about
Speaker 1: the eye in your name. I didn't realize it was
Speaker 1: until after I send it as though it was. I thought,
Speaker 1: and I thought your name was Dave, Dave Brod I,
Speaker 1: but it's David. Are not ease in my name? He
Speaker 1: corrected it. Okay, God, you're back. Kevin at filter Kevin underscore,
Speaker 1: which means there's another filter, Kevin, I don't know. Why
Speaker 1: would you add an underscore when you could have added
Speaker 1: a one or a number. Underscores are terrible. I know
Speaker 1: I used to beat David underscore Brody, but that's in
Speaker 1: the middle. That's in the middle. You add an underscore
Speaker 1: to the end. Anyway, Kevin wrote to uh the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys and at David Brody and at Scary Jones. I've
Speaker 1: been listening to older episodes and at the end of
Speaker 1: episode ten, Scary no capital s Scary talks about how
Speaker 1: he knew a friend that can s his own d
Speaker 1: Really interesting. So in episode ten you talked about a
Speaker 1: friend you knew, and then at twelve you talked about
Speaker 1: how you always wondered if you could, and now lately
Speaker 1: you've been talking about it again. Dude, I'm lonely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got some issues. So by the way, people referencing
Speaker 1: episode ten. I have no clue what happened last episode,
Speaker 1: let alone ten. We listen to this from Rachel. Another
Speaker 1: note to our Facebook fan page. Uh hey, I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is gonna somehow make it on the
Speaker 1: the the podcast, but do not say my full name. Okay,
Speaker 1: we just said Rachel Um. I'm from Texas. Been a
Speaker 1: longtime fan of The Big Show. Started listening to The
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys about a year and a half ago. Started
Speaker 1: from zero. I'm currently an episode one eighteen. I know
Speaker 1: that's pretty slow compared to the other slices, but I
Speaker 1: had mostly been listening in the car to and from
Speaker 1: work before COVID. Now that I'm working from home, I've
Speaker 1: been binging like crazy. That's what I like to hear,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to almost be caught up. Anyway, back
Speaker 1: at school working on my Masters and I ran across
Speaker 1: a spelling error on a discussion board assignment that made
Speaker 1: me face palm and immediately think of y'all. And they, oh,
Speaker 1: they built a report with their customers. How do you
Speaker 1: think she how do you think they spelled report? Brodie
Speaker 1: r A p R E even r E p O.
Speaker 1: You are like repoor. Wow, that is piss poor. Thank
Speaker 1: you Rachel and um Michael Servino wrote to us, and
Speaker 1: then they'll be offered today. I love you guys. Catching
Speaker 1: back up now. Listened to the one about BP gas app.
Speaker 1: Thought it was a great idea. Took forever to activate
Speaker 1: the pump. And even though my debit card is CAR
Speaker 1: is the card on the account, it charged my credit card.
Speaker 1: Credit card pricing took off five cents but still paid
Speaker 1: more than debit. Womp wamp, keep it real, Mike out,
Speaker 1: So that that was in reference to the explain to
Speaker 1: them what you're talking about with the kay So I
Speaker 1: don't know what state this person lives in, because in
Speaker 1: New Jersey, BP is same price, cash and credit same price.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's different in all the states.
Speaker 1: But there are apps you can get now where you
Speaker 1: when you pull into the gas station. I like to
Speaker 1: pull over to the side and open the app and
Speaker 1: get it ready so you're not fumbling around for the
Speaker 1: app trying to get it to open and ready to go.
Speaker 1: Once with the pump and so you let's see you
Speaker 1: open up the gas app. Yeah, make sure you have
Speaker 1: your location on and this way knows which gas station
Speaker 1: you're at and then it says, tell the app what
Speaker 1: pump you're at, So I always go to pump seven,
Speaker 1: that's my pump. I scroll to pump seven on the
Speaker 1: little little wheel on the app, and then it says, uh,
Speaker 1: pay with this credit card, yes, ready to fuel, Yes,
Speaker 1: And it opens the pump for you, and you just
Speaker 1: tell the guy through the VAALU usually rolled down the
Speaker 1: real window and I gave the old Philip regular and
Speaker 1: then he the pump turns on, and the app pays
Speaker 1: for it turns on the pump for you and then pays.
Speaker 1: It charges your credit card, so you don't have to
Speaker 1: hand over your phone. You don't have to hand over
Speaker 1: your credit card, totally COVID Ready to Go. It's fantastic
Speaker 1: And a lot of the apps like BP will give
Speaker 1: you five cents off for using the app, which is tremendous. Now,
Speaker 1: if you live in a state we have to pump
Speaker 1: your own gas, yeah you can still. You can still
Speaker 1: use the app because you're rather than going inside and
Speaker 1: saying turn on pump five, you can have the app
Speaker 1: do it for you and you don't have to put
Speaker 1: your credit card in the machine. You just go out
Speaker 1: pump your gas. So it's very helpful, but I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't go to a station if I
Speaker 1: had to be paid charge more for credit after that?
Speaker 1: Do you want a little ego boost? Brody? Always well,
Speaker 1: Arnie Lalo Today, Today's July started from zero. Now I'm
Speaker 1: here all right. That means he finished. Started listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast after the new year, and my goal was
Speaker 1: to get caught up for my birthday on the fourth
Speaker 1: of July. Feels good to be caught up here on
Speaker 1: the eighth. Hey, Brody, I met you at City Field
Speaker 1: for David Wright's final game. I was with my girlfriend
Speaker 1: and did the Holy sh it. I think that's Dave
Speaker 1: Brody from The Big Show. Also, it will always be
Speaker 1: Brody and scary and never scary and Brody because Scary
Speaker 1: was supposed to go to City Field with you that
Speaker 1: night and never showed up because he chose his girlfriend
Speaker 1: over David Wright's last game. You, Brody, you were super
Speaker 1: friendly and approachable. I love hearing on the Big Show
Speaker 1: to not be intimidated and come say hello if I
Speaker 1: spotted you in public. So we took a picture posted
Speaker 1: it on the Grand at hashtag abuser. Uh wow, that's
Speaker 1: a hell of a handle, and we talked about how
Speaker 1: emotional the evening was after Rights stand up. He's not
Speaker 1: a hashtag abuser as if he's an abuser. He's a
Speaker 1: hashtag abuser at hashtag abuser. He abuses hashtags like you do.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Oh my god, I thought that was his handle, Mike.
Speaker 1: He needs hey, you know me, hashtag abuser? Why it's
Speaker 1: broady and scary because I'm nice to the guy he
Speaker 1: just called abuse. He said, you guys shared an emotional
Speaker 1: moment that moment at that night. Right standing ovation also
Speaker 1: that first baseman should have dropped the foul hashtag fuck
Speaker 1: Peter O'Brien. What happened there was that well, because it
Speaker 1: would have been a nod to to know David Wright
Speaker 1: getting a hit. Is that I'll let me just set
Speaker 1: the pen, he continued. David Right, David real quick, David
Speaker 1: Wright because it was his last game, because he had
Speaker 1: missed two seasons, two and a half seasons. He had
Speaker 1: a terribly is a terribly injured back uh spine problem
Speaker 1: and he trained for months and months to get back
Speaker 1: on the field. They let him play a pin ship
Speaker 1: the night before, I believe, and so this was gonna
Speaker 1: be his last game, the one you know you didn't
Speaker 1: go to, and they predetermined he would get two at bats,
Speaker 1: and they we're gonna pull him out of the game,
Speaker 1: so we could walk off the field to get cheered
Speaker 1: and then go into the into the broadcast booth and
Speaker 1: be interviewed the rest of the game. This way he
Speaker 1: could be celebrated. So in his first at bat, I
Speaker 1: think he he gotta walk. He didn't get a hit,
Speaker 1: and he grounded out the third I think, and then
Speaker 1: his second at bat, um everyone was like, this is
Speaker 1: going to be his last at bat. Ever, he's one
Speaker 1: of the greatest people ever to play for the Mets,
Speaker 1: one of the greatest athletes you'd ever want to meet.
Speaker 1: The places going crazy. Just let him get a hit,
Speaker 1: let him walk off. He's only his early thirties. He's
Speaker 1: just it's just a terrible story that he has to retire.
Speaker 1: He hits a fly ball, a little pop up, a
Speaker 1: little pop up down the first baseline, almost near the dugout,
Speaker 1: but not like it's a terribly hard catch and the
Speaker 1: first basement for the Marlins. Keep in mind, this is
Speaker 1: I think the next of the last game of the season.
Speaker 1: It's meaningless. Everybody's hoping this guy drops the ball territory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no harm. I would say, no harm, no foul, but
Speaker 1: we've been no foul. And he catches the ball in
Speaker 1: a in a little bit more than easy, catches a
Speaker 1: little bit of difficulty, not a lot. But he easily
Speaker 1: could have liked tripped or like had it hit off
Speaker 1: his glove and done the right thing. But it was
Speaker 1: going up like oh, please drop the ball, please drop
Speaker 1: And he caught it, and everyone woul looked at him
Speaker 1: like you're you're an asshole, right, like that woman who
Speaker 1: slammed the elevator door in my face, right Like look,
Speaker 1: I get it. You want the guy that he's got
Speaker 1: to do his job. He's got to catch the ball.
Speaker 1: But there's a time and place when the season is over.
Speaker 1: Let the guy get another swing, another chance to get
Speaker 1: a hit. Whatever. That's what. And his other request was,
Speaker 1: can you guys, for the love of God, get on
Speaker 1: the same page at the very end when you sync
Speaker 1: up where the Brooklyn part, when you sing at the
Speaker 1: end the boys from Brooklyn. When we do that, he said,
Speaker 1: we're not. It feels like you guys are getting closer.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, there's a there's a millisecond delay from
Speaker 1: my audio to Skier. He's now on the end of
Speaker 1: my Walkers and Talkers podcast, which I do with the
Speaker 1: lovely Jamie. At the end we quote Nigan from The
Speaker 1: Walking Dead and we say, well, I go, what time
Speaker 1: is it, Jamie? And and I goes your time it is?
Speaker 1: Here's what time is it? And we both say at
Speaker 1: the same time, it's time shut this ship down. That's
Speaker 1: how we end the podcast, right. Because we're broadcasting from
Speaker 1: our homes, they're way off. So she's on one track,
Speaker 1: I'm on the other, and lined them up before we posted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. You're just lazy. I'm not.
Speaker 1: Hey listen, so wait, hold on. This guy is great.
Speaker 1: He then does a pro and con list of of
Speaker 1: of things that he wants to hear about about a
Speaker 1: potential pool Side podcast. He writes, pro scary, I love
Speaker 1: the idea of a podcast episode by the pool. What
Speaker 1: if Brody did host you at his house and you
Speaker 1: guys did a Brooklyn Boys episode pool Side. That's a pro.
Speaker 1: Con Scary walks around and flip flops. Pro pro we
Speaker 1: don't hear Brodie's mic issues con scary is two dollar
Speaker 1: microphone might pick up outside noises. Pro scary can finally
Speaker 1: take a dip in Brodie's heated pool. I would love
Speaker 1: to hear a pro con debate about a pool side podcast.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys had a relaxing vacation and Brodie
Speaker 1: and and Brodie in the hot top question mark in
Speaker 1: time of COVID. Anyway, well that you have a Brodie,
Speaker 1: are we gonna pro and we're gonna connor? No, No,
Speaker 1: we're not. No, We're still not gonna do this, Brodie,
Speaker 1: we have all something, Brodie, I'm telling you, don't let
Speaker 1: this summer get away without it. Well, you made me.
Speaker 1: You made me turn off my air conditioning so there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be any background noise. Now you want to go
Speaker 1: out to buy my pool where there's neighborhood noise. And
Speaker 1: but add to the fun, Brooklyn Boys by Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 1: at Brodie's house by the pool is what does Jimmy
Speaker 1: Fallon call it Jimmy Fallon at home? Yeah he's back
Speaker 1: in the studio now. But anyway, Brooklyn Boys by the Pool,
Speaker 1: it would be the Brooken Boys pool side podcast. I
Speaker 1: bet you that would have the most listens. Ever, why
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything to the listener. Put in fake
Speaker 1: background noise and make it sound like we're by the pool. Besides,
Speaker 1: I have to get an extension cord and a surge protector.
Speaker 1: And because I have one outlet outside, so I'd have
Speaker 1: to split it so we can plug it in. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of work. Jeff the engineer would have to
Speaker 1: come over, wire up everything. Come on, this isn't This
Speaker 1: isn't one of your Jersey Shore hotels where it's ready
Speaker 1: to go. Let me read a couple of tweets. I
Speaker 1: got Jamie Fezzina at Jamie Fezzina no underscore, She's the
Speaker 1: only Jamie Fezzina or the first. Hi. I'm a new

Speaker 1: everything you say from Brooklyn too well. Jamie. First of all,
Speaker 1: welcome aboard, But this begs the question. You're from Brooklyn,

Speaker 1: weren't you listening to our podcast? Before it's the Brooklyn Boys.
Speaker 1: You're from Brooklyn. I'm telling welcome aboard. People are they

Speaker 1: I'm going through a tough time, but listening Sorry, Brandon,
Speaker 1: we hope things are better. I'm going through a tough time,
Speaker 1: but listening to the podcast makes me forget about every
Speaker 1: worry in the world. Hashtag Slice for Life. Joey Bacala. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Bacala is a Brooklyn thing. His name is Baccala
Speaker 1: or it's Baccala, right, And but I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: but people used to people used to say, I can't
Speaker 1: but bacala was like a euphemism for something for vagina. Oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say that. But then why did
Speaker 1: you even start your sentence because people are gonna be like, well,
Speaker 1: you said it's a fish, so I think that people
Speaker 1: will figure it out. But his his Twitter name is
Speaker 1: Joey boom bats one, so he couldn't be any more
Speaker 1: Italian or Brooklyn anyway. He tweets us he's okay. He
Speaker 1: tweeted out Walkers and Talkers and Us Brodie. You'd think
Speaker 1: as a Walkers and Talkers fan, I'd be open to
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Boys, but I wouldn't give it a chance. Well,
Speaker 1: was I wrong? Hit the jingle Joey, You're wrong, joe
Speaker 1: You're wrong. Best podcast I listened to now, So, Joey,
Speaker 1: I would love to know why you resisted the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys when your name is Bacala and your Twitter is
Speaker 1: Joey boom botts. If ever there was a home for you, sir,
Speaker 1: it's here. Second of all, I'm complimented, but now I
Speaker 1: feel like you think this podcast is better than Walkers
Speaker 1: and Talkers. I you know what, I don't have favorite children,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna just make it a tie. Uh what else? Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh question? Um, let's so, this is Michelle bev Bellevue, Bellevue.
Speaker 1: Sorry it's Michael. Sorry Michael, Sorry I was so confused
Speaker 1: by your last name. Uh, let's say Scary Jones finally
Speaker 1: agrees to buy you a stay dinner, but while eating,
Speaker 1: you have to send something back because something is wrong.
Speaker 1: Will that count as the steak dinner at the end
Speaker 1: of the night if you don't pay for it? Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good one. That's big. It'll count.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's not gonna count. No, because it's
Speaker 1: on you, because you you could have made up an
Speaker 1: excuse to send it back and then fun things up. Now.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that counts all right? Well? Joey Bucala also tweeted
Speaker 1: Scary spent three on his home set up just to
Speaker 1: get his volume slightly higher than Brody Slice for live
Speaker 1: hashtag Brody and scare. You guys are good sports. Just
Speaker 1: one of the things I love about you guys and
Speaker 1: being a slice. You know. So this guy's hardcore now,
Speaker 1: even though he was afraid to listen, Um, listen. I
Speaker 1: I hate to do this, but we we we have
Speaker 1: to take a break. But it's still five or six
Speaker 1: more emails you're gonna want to comment on. But you
Speaker 1: have a story that you want to get to too.
Speaker 1: So didn't we We didn't take a second break? No,
Speaker 1: here comes being scary because I'm not gonna do I
Speaker 1: use jokes, will do those next week. Um, I wanted
Speaker 1: to just acknowledge Romo s s J five. Romo tweeted
Speaker 1: me today and said, you're leaving something. I've seen some
Speaker 1: random tweets here and there, but nothing on anyone's official Twitter.
Speaker 1: So I said, I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. So they wrote back, I saw this
Speaker 1: tweet and then start another thanking you for all the
Speaker 1: good phone taps and jokes. I put two and two together.
Speaker 1: I guess I got five. So they they sent me
Speaker 1: the link of the tweet. It was a long Twitter conversation.
Speaker 1: Were at the beginning of the conversation. By the way,
Speaker 1: the entire conversation is from October, all of it. We
Speaker 1: started off talking about Greg t the Jersey Kid, and
Speaker 1: then somewhere in that chain we mentioned he was leaving
Speaker 1: the show, and at the end Janovic our pizza delivery.
Speaker 1: Jane Vic said, yeah, well he owed Brodia steak dinner.
Speaker 1: But now that he's leaving, I guess that's off the table.
Speaker 1: Oh ship, I said, Gregg still he was part of
Speaker 1: the steak dinner promise, right, and so They said, well,
Speaker 1: since he's leaving, does he still does he still Brodia
Speaker 1: steak dinner? They took it as since I'm leaving, so
Speaker 1: more importantly, I said this tweets from October. If I
Speaker 1: said I was leaving in October and I'm still here,
Speaker 1: I'm not very good at leaving, so I'm not leaving,
Speaker 1: um okay, and that I'm not going to read anymore.
Speaker 1: I did want to talk about what happened to me
Speaker 1: at the doctor's office. Did you want me to end
Speaker 1: on that? Yeah, let's end on that. Let's sit look
Speaker 1: at a few more of these in and then we'll
Speaker 1: end on that. So, uh, Sarah H. Because I really
Speaker 1: because people got pissed at me for not reading their emails.
Speaker 1: If you listen to the last episode or so, someone
Speaker 1: like someone ripped into me, be like, oh, I said
Speaker 1: your email, You're not so I'm gonna try, okay, but
Speaker 1: but really quickly, Sarah H wrote to us and said
Speaker 1: that she was listening to episode one thirty four about
Speaker 1: Subway and she's cracking up. I immediately thought of you
Speaker 1: guys this weekend when I saw an old Navy ad.
Speaker 1: I attached the screenshot. It says, off online purchases and
Speaker 1: there's a picture of face masks there, but it says
Speaker 1: exclusions apply. Well, lo and behold one of the exclusions
Speaker 1: is the fucking face masks. So there's a scambone or something.
Speaker 1: Face masks excluded. Frustrating had to share and that was
Speaker 1: part of the five dollar foot long conversation that we had.
Speaker 1: Um also, uh oh, we have an Agnes that says
Speaker 1: Agnes says, why are you so judgmental? Brodie? Sometimes my
Speaker 1: husband and I will listen to the podcast together while
Speaker 1: working on projects around the house. I was, I was
Speaker 1: glad I listened to episode one thirty three alone. As
Speaker 1: Brodie began listening of qualities of men that he judged
Speaker 1: as being unworthy of friendship. He began describing my husband
Speaker 1: wearing flip flops to target. Check long hair, check death metal,
Speaker 1: death metal T shirts, check mustard on hot dog check.
Speaker 1: If Brodie saw my husband walking along and around a
Speaker 1: target wearing flip flops in a death metal T shirt,
Speaker 1: eating a mustard slathered hot dog with his air down,
Speaker 1: he would likely write him off as a weirdo or
Speaker 1: a loser. My husband hold on my husband, as you
Speaker 1: is used to being judged by his appearance. However, he
Speaker 1: is kind, polite, and courteous to everyone he meets. He's loyal, considerate,
Speaker 1: and clever, qualities, qualities with his friends and and values
Speaker 1: his friends and family. His family admire him. He earned
Speaker 1: a master's degree and is well read. If Brodie got
Speaker 1: to know him, he discovered how much in common he has.
Speaker 1: Loves baseball, been watching the Korean League in baseball. He
Speaker 1: religiously watches The Walking Dead listens We Love Walking Walkers
Speaker 1: and Talkers podcast. He loves the same music as Brodie,
Speaker 1: deaf Leppard, Guns and Roses and Steel Panther. All of
Speaker 1: this to say, please don't be so quick to judge
Speaker 1: a book by its cover or a person by their
Speaker 1: preferences or condiments. Attacks a photo from our wedding, he
Speaker 1: cleans up, pretty nice, Love you guys, Agnes hashtag fuck
Speaker 1: you Agnes. Okay, let me respond, what this woman's name? Agnes? Okay?
Speaker 1: Really okay? Well, okay, so Agnes again. We talked about
Speaker 1: how we don't remember what we said five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I remember the flip flop conversation, but I don't remember
Speaker 1: saying I wouldn't be friends with a guy with long hair.
Speaker 1: And a death metal shirt. Since that was most of
Speaker 1: my teens and twenties. She seems to remember this. I
Speaker 1: know I may have said. I think what I said, Agnes,
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, was he had a med hat on, right,
Speaker 1: and he may have had a rock shirt on and
Speaker 1: had long hair. That's why I liked him, right, That's
Speaker 1: why I thought I could be friends with him. Then
Speaker 1: I saw the flip flops. That's what I said, if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, because I like rock shirts and I
Speaker 1: like long hair, so that wouldn't have been the negative.
Speaker 1: The negative was wearing flip flops to Target. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to forgive your husband for that, even though he
Speaker 1: sounds fantastic and I probably wouldn't want to be friends
Speaker 1: with him. I just wouldn't go to Target with him.
Speaker 1: That being said, those bands you mentioned are not death
Speaker 1: metal bands. Their hair metal band hair metal I prefer
Speaker 1: over death metal. Although I listen to all all forms
Speaker 1: of rock music and hard rock and heavy metal, death
Speaker 1: metal not one of my favorites. But I would be
Speaker 1: friends with you if you liked it. But the mustard
Speaker 1: on the hot dog thing, ah, that's tough. That's tough.
Speaker 1: I just I wouldn't. I wouldn't go to a barbecue
Speaker 1: with you. But no, I have friends who unfortunately put
Speaker 1: mustard on a hot dog. I just don't like it.
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all. I don't like the
Speaker 1: thought of it. I'm like the kind of person you are.
Speaker 1: But your husband sounds fantastic. I think we have a misunderstanding.
Speaker 1: So we're good. That's okay. Now. Now, now, as you
Speaker 1: were saying, okay, so I tease two things earlier in
Speaker 1: the episode, One about the Facebook fan page. Now, I've
Speaker 1: been hearing that there's a lot of critique of our
Speaker 1: podcast in the Facebook fan page group. Isn't that what
Speaker 1: fans do though, right? But if we don't know their critiques,
Speaker 1: we can't improve or fix things you might not like.
Speaker 1: So I mentioned to a couple of people, Hey, a,
Speaker 1: if you are a slice, you're in that group obviously,
Speaker 1: but if you hear anything that would be constructive and
Speaker 1: helpful other than you know, Brodie's rude to scary. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, let let us know on the down low, right,
Speaker 1: like you know, slip me a little information now and
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to mention any names, but do
Speaker 1: you have in that room now? Well, somebody was kind
Speaker 1: enough to tell me that the only criticism of me
Speaker 1: they've seen recently, and I'm I'm sure there's others, was
Speaker 1: that sometimes I tease a rant and then I don't
Speaker 1: get to it, and that frustrates people. So I apologize.
Speaker 1: I blame Scary for that. He rushes me, Oh, come
Speaker 1: on now, so that I'm going to do a better job.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we run out of time and I try to
Speaker 1: do it the next week. We do run out of
Speaker 1: time a lot. So let me tell you about the
Speaker 1: second worst doctor disappointment I ever had, which was last week.
Speaker 1: Now I have over the course of my life, I
Speaker 1: have injured my shoulder. I had a rotator cuff injury.
Speaker 1: I injured my elbow um and I and my wrist
Speaker 1: was worn out and had to have my wrist fused.
Speaker 1: So my right arm is a mess, not from anything sexual,
Speaker 1: it's just from playing sports. So I was doing some
Speaker 1: things around the house and um, the floor was mopped.
Speaker 1: I have a tile floor at the base of seven
Speaker 1: steps staircase, and the floor got mopped and I didn't
Speaker 1: know it. So I was coming down the stairs with
Speaker 1: my uh my cell phone in my left hand, and
Speaker 1: when I hit the tile floor. I slipped and I
Speaker 1: fell backwards, and I reached back with my right arm,
Speaker 1: and I I must have damaged it in some way,
Speaker 1: because a couple of days later, my arm was in
Speaker 1: a lot of pain. I couldn't lift it up, I
Speaker 1: couldn't reach back. I was having a lot of pain.
Speaker 1: So I gave it a week, figuring eventually it'll feel better.
Speaker 1: It did not. The only time it felt better was
Speaker 1: when I'm in my pool. It doesn't hurt. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: by the way, the the power of water. If I
Speaker 1: if I just put my arm underwater, I can move
Speaker 1: it without pain all over the place. I don't know
Speaker 1: how the inside of my arm knows not to hurt
Speaker 1: when it's underwater. I'm sure doctors can explain that. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt at all. Okay, and I'll google it,
Speaker 1: you know, have to team. I got it. You know.
Speaker 1: The point was in the pool didn't hurt. So my
Speaker 1: friend says to me, because I didn't like the orthopedis
Speaker 1: that worked on my elbow, he says, I got a guy.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love him. Good guy, funny, snarky, you'll like him.
Speaker 1: Got a guy. Got a guy because I got an orthopedis.
Speaker 1: So I call up and make an appointment and they're
Speaker 1: out of network, but I've hit my out of network deductible,
Speaker 1: so it's They tell me, normally you would pay and
Speaker 1: then the met the insurance company pays sixty, but we're
Speaker 1: really slow on customers right now because of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: If you let us charge the insurance company, we won't
Speaker 1: charge you the forty, so that it's free. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm in So I look up the I look up
Speaker 1: the place to get the address, and the guy's picture
Speaker 1: is on the front of the website and he is, uh,
Speaker 1: good looking guy with long, flowy hair down past his shoulders,
Speaker 1: the kind of guy you look at you go. This
Speaker 1: guy looks in the bar a lot, takes care of
Speaker 1: his long hair. Okay, a pretty looking guy. Successful, no problem.
Speaker 1: I call up, I make the appointment, and I get Lisa.
Speaker 1: Lisa's the receptionist. Couldn't have been nicer, couldn't have been
Speaker 1: more accommodating. Uh, we'll make everything work for you. It's free.
Speaker 1: Couldn't have been nicer, So I said to Lisa Nellison,
Speaker 1: I want to preface my story. I obviously in this
Speaker 1: story feel very, very strongly about what I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm not telling you to feel strongly about it.
Speaker 1: Just know, like, if you go to a restaurant and
Speaker 1: you like broccoli, I don't like broccoli, But if you
Speaker 1: like broccoli and they mess up your broccoli, I will
Speaker 1: relate to you because you had a bad experience. Okay,
Speaker 1: you expected good broccoli. So I'm gonna tell the story.
Speaker 1: You may disagree with me on this issue, but that's okay.
Speaker 1: Understand that it's important to me for whatever reason. And
Speaker 1: I was disappointed. Okay. So I say to Lisa, what's
Speaker 1: your policy on PPE on personal protective equipment. She's, Oh,
Speaker 1: you can wear a mask, but you don't have to
Speaker 1: wear gloves. I said, okay, I always wear a mask.
Speaker 1: Not a problem. What about the staff in your office,
Speaker 1: because I've been to two other I went to an
Speaker 1: eye doctor and I went to an ear nose and
Speaker 1: throat guy, and they had face shields and gloves and masks.
Speaker 1: They were all like buttoned up. She said, no, everybody
Speaker 1: here wears gloves and masks. You're all good. Oh great,
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable. Now. I get to the office and
Speaker 1: it's mostly elderly people in the waiting room orthopedies. Old
Speaker 1: people breakdown, a lot of old people. They're all wearing
Speaker 1: masks in the in the waiting room. And the woman
Speaker 1: behind the counter who's not Lisa is wearing scrubs like
Speaker 1: she's a physician's assistant. I would say she's in her
Speaker 1: mid twenties. And I say, Hi, is Lisa here, because
Speaker 1: I wanted to thank her for being so nice. She's
Speaker 1: not Lisa. She's no Lisa's on on break. She's not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Oh, so I go, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna not get near her. I'll fill out my
Speaker 1: I filled out my paperwork already, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I printed my seven pages of documents to get ready. Now,
Speaker 1: on the document page, it says, have you had any surgeries?
Speaker 1: Are you allergic to any medication? Now, there's a type
Speaker 1: of medication I can't take, okay, And I put it
Speaker 1: on the sheet so that the doctor will have all
Speaker 1: the information, and I give it to the woman without
Speaker 1: the mask. I leave it on the counter. She takes it,
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there going, yeah, that woman should really
Speaker 1: wear a mask. But I don't know. Maybe she was
Speaker 1: on the phone. I don't know. Whatever, I'll just keep
Speaker 1: my distance. I got my mask on, no problem. So
Speaker 1: she says, okay, I'm gonna take you into the exam room,
Speaker 1: you know, because they say they put you in the
Speaker 1: room so you can sit there for twenty minutes instead
Speaker 1: of the waiting room. So I'm walking down the hall
Speaker 1: with her, and I noticed that in one room is
Speaker 1: a doctor that isn't the guy I'm seeing, and his
Speaker 1: mask is around his neck and he's taking care of patients,
Speaker 1: talking to them. They're wearing masks. He is not. Then
Speaker 1: I passed the second room. The guy I'm seeing is
Speaker 1: in there. He's not wearing a mask, and one of
Speaker 1: his patients isn't wearing a mask, and he's talking to them, right,
Speaker 1: And I go, well, this isn't right. That's three out
Speaker 1: of three not wearing masks. I asked about this. Okay,
Speaker 1: these are medical professionals. Okay. So as she puts me
Speaker 1: in the room, and she says to me, okay, have
Speaker 1: a seat, Sho'll be in a minute and we'll starts
Speaker 1: walking out. So I said, well, I'm meeting with Dr
Speaker 1: So and so, who I know as a man. By
Speaker 1: the way, no women can be doctors, don't so shouldn't
Speaker 1: she have said who is? And she keeps walking she
Speaker 1: doesn't hear me. So I'm like, who is coming to
Speaker 1: get me? Who is she? Shouldn't she have said so?
Speaker 1: And so is called like what? So a woman walks in.
Speaker 1: She is an X ray technician. She is wearing a mask,
Speaker 1: and she's, oh, let's go get X rays. Oh look, okay,
Speaker 1: no problem. Why the woman didn't say the X ray
Speaker 1: technician will be in momentarily to get you. She said
Speaker 1: she'll be in a minute. First I was put off
Speaker 1: by that. All right, So I go and do my
Speaker 1: X rays. The woman goes behind the screen, you know,
Speaker 1: to take your X rays. She takes her mask off. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: she goes, you can have a seat. I sit down.
Speaker 1: She comes out from mind the plexiglass, not wearing the mask,
Speaker 1: and then as she walks by me to go out
Speaker 1: of the room, she puts the mask on as she's
Speaker 1: passing me again. I feel like I'm in home depot
Speaker 1: at this point. These are medical professionals. They're not being
Speaker 1: very you know, masky when I asked specifically if they
Speaker 1: were masking. So she gets the X rays and she
Speaker 1: puts me back in the room. I'm sitting there for
Speaker 1: a little while, and I hear the doctor that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna see joking about not wearing a mask. He's joking saying,
Speaker 1: you know, sign me up, baby, if I don't have
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. I don't care if this COVID
Speaker 1: everywhere I'm not where I'm at, I'll take a job
Speaker 1: if I'm off to wear a mask. I'm like, okay, um,
Speaker 1: all right again. You may disagree with that philosophy, but
Speaker 1: bothering me, it's bothering me. So that he comes into
Speaker 1: the room and he says, hey, how's it going whatever?
Speaker 1: And I said good, good good. He says, what's bothering you?
Speaker 1: So I tell him what He goes. I said, well,
Speaker 1: it hurts when I do. He goes, well, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Don't do what hurts? You know the classical. Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: like okay, yeah. So he says, stand up. I want
Speaker 1: to check your range of motion. I said, dr before
Speaker 1: we get started, if I could just ask you a question,
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I called and I spoke to Lisa,
Speaker 1: and I asked if everybody here would be wearing masks
Speaker 1: and uh, she said yes, but nobody's wearing masks. I'm
Speaker 1: just curious what the thought process is there, and he says, oh,
Speaker 1: he says, I've got antibodies, so I already had it.
Speaker 1: So I'm like Superman. I'm good. He goes, you're in
Speaker 1: good hands. I'm superman. So I said, um, well, first
Speaker 1: of all, I understand why you have antibodies. Because you
Speaker 1: don't wear a mask, you probably aren't protecting yourself, so
Speaker 1: you already worth sick. I said, But you know, I said,
Speaker 1: just again, just if I could be curious here, there's
Speaker 1: no evidence that says you can't get it. Again. There's
Speaker 1: also no evidence that you having antibodies protects you from
Speaker 1: from giving it to me. I said, And you're not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask because you have antibodies, but the mask
Speaker 1: is to protect me. I don't have antibodies. He says, oh,
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's just listen. He looks around. He goes,
Speaker 1: you know what, You're fine? I said what He says, No,
Speaker 1: he is where it gets weird. He says to me,
Speaker 1: the media is blown it out of proportion. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: So I said, um, doctor, forgive me, but I don't
Speaker 1: come to a doctor to be told that the media
Speaker 1: is blowing a pandemic out of proportion, even if he
Speaker 1: believes that. And I know there are people that believe that.
Speaker 1: I said, there's still a hundred thirty five thousand dead Americans, right,
Speaker 1: So he says to me, most of them were sick already.
Speaker 1: I said, I know people who were in their fifties
Speaker 1: and healthy who died. They weren't sick. Why would you
Speaker 1: say that, Like, why are you minimizing a pandemic? You're
Speaker 1: a doctor. And he says, do you want to get
Speaker 1: a mask? I'll get a mask. Now. He's not upset
Speaker 1: with me. He's just like kind of laughing, like he's
Speaker 1: amused by me. So he says, you want me to
Speaker 1: put a mask on. I go, well, we've been in
Speaker 1: the same room already now for like you know, six
Speaker 1: seven minutes. I guess we're fine. So he does the exercise.
Speaker 1: He makes me push in, push out against his arms.
Speaker 1: He's testing my range emotion, and he says, uh, you
Speaker 1: know what you need anti inflammatories. He's still less scary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm here all right. He says, you need anti inflammatories
Speaker 1: that will make the swelling in your arm go down.
Speaker 1: Whatever the pain is, he said, But it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like you damage anything. The x rays look good, and um,
Speaker 1: you don't have any like uh any And he swelled, ing,
Speaker 1: if you would have torn something, you wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: able to move in the positions that you currently can
Speaker 1: move even though you have pain. And I tell him
Speaker 1: that it doesn't hurt when I'm in the pool. So
Speaker 1: he says, you'll take some anti inflammatories and you'll be good.
Speaker 1: I said, doctor, it says right on my sheet, I
Speaker 1: can't take anti inflammatories. He says, oh, why not? And
Speaker 1: I tell him why. He goes, you can take a copy,
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. Scary, scary. I have a primary care
Speaker 1: physician and a specialist who specializes in me and the
Speaker 1: thing I have wrong that I can't take anti inflammatories.
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, you can take a copy, You'll
Speaker 1: be fine. Why can't you take doctor? Dr sho like doctor?
Speaker 1: So I said to him, I said, doctor, feel good
Speaker 1: or feel good? Because this guy is breaking a right.
Speaker 1: So I said, doctor, the reason I can't take it
Speaker 1: is on the sheet, right. You didn't let me fill out.
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, I don't read that. Sound I didn't
Speaker 1: read it. I go, I filled out seven pages. It
Speaker 1: tells you my medical history, because I just I'd rather
Speaker 1: just ask why did you not a bad face? And
Speaker 1: just leave? So hold on. So he wanted to prescribe
Speaker 1: me something that could kill me, and he didn't look
Speaker 1: at the sheet, right, Okay, So he says, I'm gonna practice.
Speaker 1: Then that would be yeah, I'm dead. Yeah. Oh so
Speaker 1: so I forgot one line, one line I thought was classic.
Speaker 1: I said, none of your staff. I understand you have antibodies, doctor,
Speaker 1: but none of you. The other doctor doesn't have antibodies.
Speaker 1: He's not wearing a mask. The woman of front start
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. The X ray technician was half wearing
Speaker 1: a mask. He goes, Oh, everybody here has a mask,
Speaker 1: they're just not wearing them. Everybody could. That's helpful. Oh
Speaker 1: so you give me medicine that's gonna kill me. I
Speaker 1: just didn't take it. People over, everybody has a mask.
Speaker 1: He goes to make me feel better, but they're just
Speaker 1: not wearing them. Oh as long as they have them,
Speaker 1: I feel much better. So you want to say something
Speaker 1: that I just it gets worse, scary. How does it
Speaker 1: get worse than this? Okay? So, so he says, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you a prescription for physical therapy. I said,
Speaker 1: all right, well, let me ask you a question before
Speaker 1: I go to physical therapy. He I said, should I
Speaker 1: not move my arm the way you said? If it hurts?
Speaker 1: Should I? Should I be moving it more to exercise it?
Speaker 1: Or should I not move it so it heals? And
Speaker 1: he says, well, don't do anything that causes pain. So
Speaker 1: I said, well, when I go in the pool, it
Speaker 1: doesn't cause me pain. So in the pool, am I
Speaker 1: masking the pain and it's okay to swim and move
Speaker 1: my arm in a painful way? Or should I not
Speaker 1: move my arm because I'm damaging it? He says, well,
Speaker 1: when you go to physical therapy, asked that question. I said,
Speaker 1: but you're the doctor. He said, but they'll give you exercises.
Speaker 1: I go. I know, but in the meantime, yes or no?
Speaker 1: Should I not be moving my arm? Be sure he
Speaker 1: was a doctor or he just played yes, no, I
Speaker 1: maybe stayed at holiday in. I don't get it. It's
Speaker 1: I would don't want to I don't want to say.
Speaker 1: But I know where he went to college. It's a
Speaker 1: state university, which is fine. I love I went to
Speaker 1: a city university. I'm just saying I know where it is.
Speaker 1: It's a good college. Okay, he's not an old guy.
Speaker 1: He's in his symphorties maybe, which is old. It gets worse,
Speaker 1: how Okay, So he says to me, listen, I want
Speaker 1: to see you back here in six weeks after your
Speaker 1: physical therapy. He said, but I get the impression you're
Speaker 1: not gonna come back. Are you upset about the mask thing?
Speaker 1: I said, no, yeah, I said I was. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not upset. Wh I was upset? I said, but
Speaker 1: I was just curious. I'm very analytical. I was wondering
Speaker 1: why what I asked, specifically, if everyone wore a mask.
Speaker 1: Your receptionist told me everyone wears a mask, when the
Speaker 1: reality nobody wears a mask. He says, oh, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's I. I mean, I want you to be comfortable. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So we're walking out to the front desk.
Speaker 1: He's walking me to the front desk, and he the receptionist,
Speaker 1: the assistant in the scrubs who wasn't wearing a mask,
Speaker 1: walks with him to get my prescription, and he says,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make up a name. He says, hey, Stacy,
Speaker 1: you really should put your mask on now. For a
Speaker 1: split second, scary I thought, have the music ready. I
Speaker 1: thought that he was doing the right thing and saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm wrong. You're the reception woman working
Speaker 1: up front. You should have a mask on. But what
Speaker 1: he did was he said, hey, um, you should put
Speaker 1: a mask on, and she says she looks at him.
Speaker 1: He goes, because you're freaking this guy out, So you
Speaker 1: could just put a mask on because you're freaking him out.
Speaker 1: Don't put a mask on because it's it'll keep people
Speaker 1: healthier and alive, and your spit will fly on people.
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't wear a mask to protect yourself from droplets.
Speaker 1: Oh no, put a mask on because you're freaking out
Speaker 1: this guy who's standing here, who I am now pointing at,
Speaker 1: singling him out and putting on the spot. So I said,
Speaker 1: a woman who wa wa wa woa. I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I'm not freaked oubt. So he goes, yeah, you teld
Speaker 1: me in the in the AMRA when you freaked out
Speaker 1: she wasn't wearing a mask. I said, no, I wanted
Speaker 1: to know why no one was wearing a mask. And
Speaker 1: you told me you had antibodies. Well, nobody else here
Speaker 1: has antibodies, so I said, But I'm not freaked out.
Speaker 1: I was freaked out, but I didn't. I didn't give
Speaker 1: that impression. But do you imagine that after the exam
Speaker 1: I had of this buffoon, he then tells her put
Speaker 1: on a mask, not for medical reasons, because she's faking
Speaker 1: lay out. So then I walk, I walk outside to
Speaker 1: the desk. She let's make an appointment for you. I
Speaker 1: made an appointment, homeboy, I am not going back to
Speaker 1: that to covid manner, I'm sorry. And again, if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast and you have a different opinion
Speaker 1: on masks, that's not what this is about. I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to give you. Well. You know, even if you do.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you're in a medical
Speaker 1: you're you're you're in you're in a hot you're sorry,
Speaker 1: you're in a medical facility. You're in a doctor's office
Speaker 1: of all places. And then and then and then the
Speaker 1: media is blown out of proportion, and all those people
Speaker 1: already sick. That's not true. And listen to what I listen.
Speaker 1: I have my opinions too. I don't listen. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't I don't want agree with you, Brody,
Speaker 1: I really don't. And I'm not gonna get into it
Speaker 1: on this podcast, but I want this is no where
Speaker 1: I'm coming from from. Listen they listen there there may
Speaker 1: be some truth that that, other things not that, other
Speaker 1: things that are play here. No, no, listen to me.

Speaker 1: and I'm not hold on, Brody, We're not going here, okay,
Speaker 1: And you know, you know like I am on your side,
Speaker 1: I really am. I but I honestly before you, I'm
Speaker 1: not going there. I'm this this conversation has to do
Speaker 1: with about about anyone else wearing a mask. I'm sticking
Speaker 1: to the front. I'm just saying, Yea. All I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say is that I am dumbfounded that facility and medical
Speaker 1: facility going to the doctors and they're not more careful,
Speaker 1: and they're not flipping, and they're they're almost making fun
Speaker 1: of it. It's almost like an alternate universe, and and
Speaker 1: and and so yes, I I sympathize. I empathize all
Speaker 1: those thighs with you, Okay, I do. I do, and
Speaker 1: and they're completely in the wrong. That's all I want. Now,
Speaker 1: You're right, okay, but just but just don't talk in absolutes,
Speaker 1: and that that that your knowledge because some things that
Speaker 1: you said there are gonna piss some of our slices off.
Speaker 1: Was a mask keeps from flying? That is factual, that's truth. Yes, yes, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not arguing with you on that. I
Speaker 1: did not in the opinion of the opinion of other
Speaker 1: things being at play here, and that perhaps there are
Speaker 1: certain things that are at play, that people may be
Speaker 1: blowing things out of proportion or making people see statistics
Speaker 1: the way they want to see them. That there's not
Speaker 1: a hundred percent not a in on that. Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm mostly in, but I'm not listen and I have
Speaker 1: a right to my opinion too. But for the speck
Speaker 1: of the store, keep in mind, but keep in mind
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some But keep in mind because you
Speaker 1: went there, that you're gonna get some hate on this
Speaker 1: because there are people that are gonna there are gonna
Speaker 1: be people maybe that are going to be in that
Speaker 1: in that in that boys fan page, be like, here
Speaker 1: goes Brody again on his held on I did not
Speaker 1: tell anyone. I made it very clear. If I said
Speaker 1: some were a couple of seven, I said, you guys
Speaker 1: know I don't like vegetables, right, I hate vegetables. I
Speaker 1: hate dil right. I don't ever tell you people not
Speaker 1: the vegetables or eat vegetables. I don't tell you to
Speaker 1: live in my life. I have someone in my life
Speaker 1: that has a compromised immune. By the by, I know you,
Speaker 1: I know you, I know your situation too. I'm also
Speaker 1: taking that considering and I have I live with three kids,
Speaker 1: right and a wife. I have a responsibility to keep
Speaker 1: the people in my life, even if wearing masks in
Speaker 1: my mind keeps me less of a chance, right, then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that for me, and just people need
Speaker 1: to know telling anyone, I'm just telling you. I you know,
Speaker 1: like if you call a Chinese restaurant you say, can
Speaker 1: you make my food without vegetables? And then you go
Speaker 1: there and there's a sign that says we will not substitute,
Speaker 1: we will not make food without vegetables, you feel like
Speaker 1: you you would kind of like, and then then they
Speaker 1: come out and like you come they come out and
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, and they're like dancing around like vegetables,
Speaker 1: going eat vegetables. I get it, and I get it,
Speaker 1: and I think it's hilarious, and I think that I
Speaker 1: think it's uncalled for. And I'm not a public service announcement.
Speaker 1: I don't do what you want unstood. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I wear a mask, I'm gonna make it very clear.
Speaker 1: I go, I wear my mask everywhere, I wear it indoors.
Speaker 1: I'm completely respectful. Tweeting me with a dissenting opinion. It
Speaker 1: was just it was until you've spoken absolutes for a
Speaker 1: couple of seconds, I'm like, someone's gonna get take accepts
Speaker 1: they're my absolutes. Okay, you do this absolute right. Fine,
Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you there were some things that
Speaker 1: I list absolutely believe you should have catch up on
Speaker 1: a hot dog. That's where we have to have catch
Speaker 1: up on. But that's all what I don't. Also, don't
Speaker 1: impart that on other people, because there's partners and I
Speaker 1: there was a couple of moments that made me, that
Speaker 1: made me shut No. I want a second, as somebody
Speaker 1: who's on top of the fence listening to everything, there
Speaker 1: are a couple of things you might have said maybe
Speaker 1: that could tick some people off, but that's okay, it's
Speaker 1: your opinion and it's our podcast, and we get to
Speaker 1: say what we want to have the list work. Well,
Speaker 1: if you were ticked off by me talking about I
Speaker 1: feel I'm not no, not me. I'm saying if a
Speaker 1: person was ticked off about something I said that I
Speaker 1: feel a certain way, that's silly because I'm not telling
Speaker 1: you to feel that way. If I had said, if
Speaker 1: you don't do this my way, you suck, I didn't
Speaker 1: say that. I said for me, I made it very clear.
Speaker 1: I laid the groundwork. I said, please, are you in
Speaker 1: office that is precautionary. At the end of the day, Yes,
Speaker 1: everyone in that office needed to wear masks. That's the
Speaker 1: end of That's the end of it. Or or tell
Speaker 1: me we are not a mask wearing office. And now
Speaker 1: you know what, go and enjoy your life in your business.
