Speaker 3: Also, merch Matt told me that he didn't put the
Speaker 3: shirts in the bags this time, to save you the
Speaker 3: step of opening the bags properly and taking the shirts
Speaker 3: out of the bags.
Speaker 2: One lass step. Appreciate you, Matt. We'll see how anal
Speaker 2: you are with putting them in the bag. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: we'll see.
Speaker 3: By the way, I have to tell you, since I
Speaker 3: moved sold the house, moved into the townhouse here, I
Speaker 3: have this little studio room that has a couch in it, right,
Speaker 3: it's the same. So when when when we lived in
Speaker 3: the house, I had a small bedroom with the same
Speaker 3: couch in it, and whenever I would go into that
Speaker 3: room in the podcast, the dogs would all come in
Speaker 3: and jump on the couch and watch me do the podcast.
Speaker 3: But it was on the same floor as the other bedrooms. Well,
Speaker 3: now that this is downstairs, just one little room where
Speaker 3: I do the podcast from, I have to tell the
Speaker 3: dogs that were going downstairs because it's you know, a
Speaker 3: flight of stairs down and then in the entrance way
Speaker 3: there's a door and that's where this room is. It's
Speaker 3: like an office, but I use it to podcast. So
Speaker 3: now I tell the dogs, you guys want to podcast,
Speaker 3: and they run down the stairs and jump on the
Speaker 3: doors to the room.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: Get they they and they yeah.
Speaker 3: They get so excited when I say you guys want
Speaker 3: a podcast, and it's not They know the difference between
Speaker 3: you want to go out or not. Because I say
Speaker 3: you want to go out, they run down the stairs
Speaker 3: and go to the front door. But if I say
Speaker 3: do you want a podcast, they come to.
Speaker 4: The They actually sit there and watch you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're on the couch to my left, uh, and
Speaker 3: they rest on the couch. They love the couch. It's
Speaker 3: the softest couch, but it's older. It's like the couch
Speaker 3: you have forever. I love that couch. And they sit
Speaker 3: and they watch me. But they get so excited and
Speaker 3: they run.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you. Are they a rough crowd? Funny?
Speaker 2: They they don't.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the very very obedient audience. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only problem is that, because we're by the front
Speaker 3: door down here on the main on the first level,
Speaker 3: if anybody walks by the front door outside on the
Speaker 3: path loudly, they bark. So I turned the mic off
Speaker 3: sometimes so you might hear. And then I turned the
Speaker 3: mic off. You know, it's funny sometimes might you might
Speaker 3: hear me? Yell, buiet, shut up.
Speaker 2: I'm patiently awaiting the move in of across the street
Speaker 2: from the the Elvis Durant Show Big Show Studios, a
Speaker 2: building that is being well. I guess they're doing redoing
Speaker 2: the interior of it. I'm a waiting for the whoever's
Speaker 2: office that becomes to move in because, oh so you
Speaker 2: could see somebody from across. Well, the way our studios
Speaker 2: are separated are situated, we have actual window views like
Speaker 2: so it's a window, and then there's a hallway, but
Speaker 2: it's a tiny hallway, but it's a glass window. The
Speaker 2: window of the building is right next to it. So
Speaker 2: so basically from our studio you could see right out
Speaker 2: into the street and across the street into the next building,
Speaker 2: office building, and it's a high rise like us. So
Speaker 2: right now they've gutted it, and there's construction workers that
Speaker 2: appear at seven eight o'clock in the morning and we
Speaker 2: sometimes catch them watching us, like there's no like glare.
Speaker 2: There's no, it's not like it's uh, you know, intint
Speaker 2: the windows, hintin windows. Now you could see right it's
Speaker 2: just clear glass right across. So we could see them
Speaker 2: like drinking their coffee and they could see us. And
Speaker 2: it's it's an entire floor of an office building. So
Speaker 2: something is gonna go in there in about two months
Speaker 2: three months, and I might axious to see who moves in,
Speaker 2: because it won't be as good as the old studios.
Speaker 3: When I was working there where you can look across
Speaker 3: the out the window and it was a hotel and
Speaker 3: people were banging, yeah.
Speaker 2: Banging, people just banging and having threesomes filming each other.
Speaker 4: Filming each other. Yeah're filming each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not gonna get better than that. Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: not gonna. But in this case, they are. They are
Speaker 2: our eye level siteline, and we just so I wonder
Speaker 2: what the construction workers must think, like, what the fuck's
Speaker 2: going on over there? It's like, you know, because they
Speaker 2: see into All they see is a studio with all
Speaker 2: these lights on us and microphones and stuff, and we
Speaker 2: have headphones on, and I wonder what they think that
Speaker 2: they're seeing, you know, because I don't know if they
Speaker 2: know that it's us, you know, I don't know if
Speaker 2: they it's clicked that yo, that that's Z one hundred
Speaker 2: doing a lot broadcast right now. But they're probably Howard guys.
Speaker 2: I will say, when the office people move in, they're
Speaker 2: gonna have trouble concentrating on their work because, yeah, when.
Speaker 3: They look across and they see Taylor Swift sitting in
Speaker 3: the studio, no joke.
Speaker 2: That's exactly where I was going with that. They're gonna
Speaker 2: see guests walking into the studio sitting down because you
Speaker 2: could see it clearly. It's close because those streets are narrow,
Speaker 2: so like we're talking about like right across the fifty
Speaker 2: fifth Street, which is like a narrow little street. So anyway, I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna Talor Swift from two thousand and.
Speaker 2: Nine. Maybe she was up.
Speaker 3: At the station on our show almost every year until
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two when I left the show, and has
Speaker 3: been up since.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say it's because I'm not there.
Speaker 2: She's not coming. Oh you you feel like that, Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm it's me, You're the problem reason.
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna say she hasn't visited because she knows I'm not there,
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, Brodie's not Brodie coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brodie hasn't you know what since he left? Mm hmm,
Speaker 2: there's no, there's no We are never ever going at
Speaker 2: least five albums. Yeah right, you're never ever getting back together.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. So good luck shaking that off.
Speaker 2: Disturbing news. It's bad blood. I think that's what I
Speaker 2: think could be, could be. It wasn't That song wasn't
Speaker 2: about Katie Perry is about you now because I'm not
Speaker 2: there because you know so I'm not coming. Don't forget
Speaker 2: she hung out at my desk, took pictures sitting in
Speaker 2: my office chair. I know I know you will. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 2: she's uh, she's actually in the Halloween costume picture together.
Speaker 2: You know. She's ending her tour in Florida in Miami
Speaker 2: and it's a hard rock stadium or something. But okay,
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, in December, she's going
Speaker 2: to be there. Can you imagine the chaos and the
Speaker 2: craziness it's going to be to get tickets to those shows.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it will be awesome to be down there
Speaker 2: for that. Brodie, I know you wake up late. Yeah. Usually.
Speaker 2: Did you hear that three billion people got their social
Speaker 2: Security numbers stolen? Yeah, my friend Eric sent me that article.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. It was three billion was well, I
Speaker 2: mean three billion worldwide, but miss the worldwide. This the
Speaker 2: three billion pieces of information whatever it is. Everybody always
Speaker 2: thought it was hacked. We were hacked. Basically, they broke
Speaker 2: into a government site, whoever this was, and now our
Speaker 2: social security numbers have been exposed. Now, I always have
Speaker 2: heard of these data breaches, and it never rises to
Speaker 2: the level of social Security number, but here we are
Speaker 2: so many times it does.
Speaker 3: When they say, uh, if your phone company was hacked
Speaker 3: or man a card was.
Speaker 2: Never social Security number usually, but here. Here's the thing scary.
Speaker 3: There's two hundred and fifty million Americans right right with
Speaker 3: social Security numbers.
Speaker 2: That means the odds of.
Speaker 3: Anyone fucking with your social Security number are two hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty million to one.
Speaker 2: No to one if one person was doing it, but
Speaker 2: there may be several people that buy that information and
Speaker 2: that the odds increase.
Speaker 3: Okay, so then it's then it's forty million to one
Speaker 3: or twenty million to one. The point is everybody got hacked,
Speaker 3: so I'm not worried. If it was everybody would blast
Speaker 3: initial b I'd be like, oh, that's only like twenty million,
Speaker 3: but or forty whatever it is, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not worried.
Speaker 3: If somebody uses my social security call fight it.
Speaker 2: What am I gonna do the best? I'm gonna sleep
Speaker 2: over it. No, but people could like open up counts
Speaker 2: and identities, an entire identity. Ill proof it was I'll
Speaker 2: say it wasn't me, it wasn't me, all right, shaggy shaggy,
Speaker 2: I'm shady shot slim shady. Every week I'm gonna make
Speaker 2: the same joke about the congress woman who got it wrong.
Speaker 2: And every week you're not gonna remember. Okay, no, I
Speaker 2: remember because I'm taking my lion's main pills. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 3: By the way, if you don't always listen to Slice Time,
Speaker 3: sometimes you forget. You're like, oh, yeah, you have to
Speaker 3: listen to Slice Time. For episode three or four, one
Speaker 3: of our best Slice times in a while, I think. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we had some new callers, We had funny callers. People
Speaker 3: answered our question about the three dollar cheese. We had
Speaker 3: a couple of people pointing out some wonderful things about
Speaker 3: Scary that if you can't remember things, his lines mains
Speaker 3: and that what it's hilarious. Listen episode three or four
Speaker 3: Slice Time. We really really good episode. Yeah, but just
Speaker 3: one final note on that.
Speaker 2: A way to combat this is for you to get
Speaker 2: in touch with I guess all three major companies that
Speaker 2: do credit, that run credit reports whatever, and tell them
Speaker 2: to freeze your credit. So freeze credit and this way,
Speaker 2: you know, and put in a two factor authentication anyway
Speaker 2: anywhere you have passwords and stuff, so this way it
Speaker 2: could protect you. Just saying that's just a p s A. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: that's what they're saying that you should do.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'll keep that in mind very good,
Speaker 3: I'll check credit carmer. Scary you had you said you
Speaker 3: had a car story for me, and I have a
Speaker 3: car story, but why don't you tell you a car story?
Speaker 2: Well, this is actually yeah, this happened, not me, It
Speaker 2: was Elvis. He he went to he went to go
Speaker 2: sell a car, his car, and uh, he found out
Speaker 2: yesterday you got a call and they're like, yeah, you're
Speaker 2: you're on Carfax. This car is listed on Carfax. So
Speaker 2: Carfax is basically your car's medical record. So basically, if
Speaker 2: he ever gets into an accident or whatever the case,
Speaker 2: the autobody shop or whoever is their job to report
Speaker 2: it so that it's been in an accident.
Speaker 3: So Elvis shop in Brooklyn, well, yeah, for Jersey, some places.
Speaker 2: Pay you pay cash to a guy. If you got
Speaker 2: a guy, you didn't report. You didn't see nothing, idn't
Speaker 2: I don't know nothing. I didn't do nothing. I didn't
Speaker 2: see nothing. I didn't crushed into nothing. No, but Elvis
Speaker 2: forgot that several years ago this car he basically there
Speaker 2: was some fender bender happened and he had to replace
Speaker 2: a quarter panel whatever it is. Forgot he had to replace. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well it was a while ago whatever and he was like,
Speaker 2: oh ship. So he was basically called out on carfacts
Speaker 2: and they went to go run the car to carfacks.
Speaker 2: I would imagine most people listening to this check Carfax
Speaker 2: before they buy or lease a use vehicle, right because
Speaker 2: because that is the only way you're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to tell for sure.
Speaker 4: I gotta say, I have an interesting story about that,
Speaker 4: but go on, yeah the call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the trade in value of the or
Speaker 2: the selling value become less because it's been in an accident.
Speaker 2: It's not perfect.
Speaker 3: Well, if the frame wasn't damaged and you just replace
Speaker 3: the quarter panel, I mean, you lose a little value,
Speaker 3: but you shouldn't lose like, you know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know which of Elvis' cars he's selling, but
Speaker 3: none of them are inexpensive, so he still probably did.
Speaker 2: Okay, did he sell the car? Did he changed his mind?
Speaker 2: I think it's up for sale. I don't know. Whatever,
Speaker 2: it is my thing. He got caught though, he got caught, Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not that, but he didn't know well I didn't
Speaker 2: know he was on good away or anything, but his
Speaker 2: car got caught. He didn't know he was on the
Speaker 2: car fax list. Yeah, but the car did get flagged,
Speaker 2: So I guess that's Carfax doing his job. I guess
Speaker 2: it works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Well here's something I learned yesterday. So, uh,
Speaker 3: my buddy Jeff has a Jeep and it has a
Speaker 3: lot of problems with the electric roof. He got the car,
Speaker 3: there was a problem. He took it to the dealership.
Speaker 3: They fixed it, but they didn't fix it. They fixed
Speaker 3: the rattling, but then they got it out of alignment
Speaker 3: and the wind comes in and.
Speaker 2: Goes when you're on the parkway. It's terrible.
Speaker 3: They've tried to fix it like six times. They can't
Speaker 3: seem to fix it. So he took them the Lemon
Speaker 3: law court. Lemon law is if you have a certain
Speaker 3: amount of repairs done within a certain amount of time,
Speaker 3: the car is considered a lemon, like a piece of shit,
Speaker 3: like it's defective. So he has a lawyer and he
Speaker 3: said to me, Hey, you want to come with me
Speaker 3: to the court. You could be my witness because you've
Speaker 3: heard the noise. You drive me and pick me up
Speaker 3: every time I have to drop the car off. You
Speaker 3: know all the struggles I've been through. I recorded audio
Speaker 3: over the wind in the car so yeah, I'll be
Speaker 3: your witness.
Speaker 2: Not a problem. Struggle is real. Struggles real.
Speaker 3: So we go to the court case and the judge
Speaker 3: is there, the lawyer for the car company is there.
Speaker 3: We're at the table. His lawyer's not there yet. So
Speaker 3: I'm schmoozing with the lawyer. She's terrific, making jokes. She's like, listen,
Speaker 3: this can go to trial and take all day, or
Speaker 3: you know, take multiple days. She said, But I've been
Speaker 3: talking to the lawyer from the car and she's sitting
Speaker 3: there by the way, she said, I've been talking to
Speaker 3: the lawyer from the car company. I'm sure you guys
Speaker 3: want to settle. She wants to settle. Nobody wants to
Speaker 3: go to trial. Here, show will make this work out. Well,
Speaker 3: you just tipped the hand of the car company by
Speaker 3: saying she wants to settle. She's the rep for the
Speaker 3: car company, right, Because what happens is if the car
Speaker 3: if you don't settle and you prove the cars a lemon,
Speaker 3: then the car company has to buy the car from
Speaker 3: you for the full amount and then they have to
Speaker 3: destroy the car. They aren't allowed to sell the car
Speaker 3: ever if.
Speaker 2: They lement it out.
Speaker 3: Wow, even if they could just fix the roof. So
Speaker 3: they're out like forty thousand dollars forty whatever the jeep was.
Speaker 3: If they don't settle, they could lose, or you could
Speaker 3: lose and get nothing. So they're handling and whatever, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, so I'm in the hall with the lawyer saying,
Speaker 3: make sure you ask for a rental car. Make sure
Speaker 3: I'm giving you know, I'm giving Brodie tips to the lawyer.
Speaker 3: He's like, Oh, I hadn't thought of that. That's great.
Speaker 3: I'm like out lawyering a little bit the lawyer from
Speaker 3: you know, the car guy.
Speaker 2: But he was great.
Speaker 3: He was fantastic. Anyway, they settled for a lot of money.
Speaker 3: My friend got a lot of free dessert.
Speaker 2: He got like.
Speaker 3: Most of the money he's already paid in leasing on
Speaker 3: the car because the car was in the shop so much,
Speaker 3: plus another ten grand for you know trouble.
Speaker 4: He did really well. I was very proud of him.
Speaker 2: He's my boy.
Speaker 3: He paid attention. Anyway, I'm talking to the guy outside
Speaker 3: after the court lawyer and he's saying about he's looking
Speaker 3: at the jeep ward in the parking lot and he's like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is you know, this looks like it was repainted,
Speaker 3: and he's he's yeah, you may so. Here's what I
Speaker 3: found out. Cars get chipped all over the country, right,
Speaker 3: they come in from other parts of the world. Sure,
Speaker 3: and then they're on car carriers, they're on ships, and
Speaker 3: occasionally cars get damaged before they get to the dealership.
Speaker 2: By the container itself, right by the container, by the
Speaker 2: car carriers, by whoever got the car there.
Speaker 3: They get damaged. Well, here's what you need to know.
Speaker 3: If the damage is less than twelve hundred dollars, they
Speaker 3: don't need to report it. So your car could have
Speaker 3: had a dent in it, they fix it and never
Speaker 3: tell you it had a dent in it.
Speaker 2: Wow. The reason I bring this.
Speaker 3: Up my wife and I, I don't know, about six
Speaker 3: or seven years ago, we traded in our minivan to
Speaker 3: place in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: Nice guy. They were client to the radio station, and
Speaker 2: the guy's.
Speaker 3: Looking on my car and it was a immaculate condition,
Speaker 3: no accidents, you know, clean all the extras. And so
Speaker 3: his guys are looking at it over and they have
Speaker 3: a tool that checks how thick the paint is on
Speaker 3: your car. Yes, I've seen it before. They can tell
Speaker 3: how many layers of painter on you yes. So he
Speaker 3: says to me, this extra paint on your rear end
Speaker 3: of your car and the tailgate, this car has been
Speaker 3: in an accident. I said, no, it hasn't. He says, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: this whole back's been painted multiple times. It's all it's
Speaker 3: too thick. I said, I'm telling you, I bought the
Speaker 3: car new from Dodge. It's never been in an accident.
Speaker 3: And I never understood how that was possible. Well, the
Speaker 3: lawyer told me it probably got damaged in transport. They
Speaker 3: fixed it and never told you.
Speaker 2: Wow, So when you pay thirty thous dollars for a car,
Speaker 2: it's already possibly only worth twenty six. Because so did
Speaker 2: you go back to Dodge and say what the car was?
Speaker 2: It was eight years later. And by the way, they
Speaker 2: I've seen that thing. It's like it looks like a
Speaker 2: gun or something like that. Okay, yes, And they literally
Speaker 2: put it like on every panel of the car and
Speaker 2: they yep, they press a button and they it's like
Speaker 2: a meter and it tells them how thick the paint is,
Speaker 2: how many coats, whatever. And BMW has a certain standard
Speaker 2: so that gun better have the same reading for every
Speaker 2: single panel of the car that attests so you got fucked, Well,
Speaker 2: you got extra paint on your bumper.
Speaker 3: Here's a time when I didn't get fucked. I was
Speaker 3: buying a car leasing another Dodge charger. So I had
Speaker 3: an eight and eleven, and I think I was getting
Speaker 3: my fourteen because I get him every three years. And
Speaker 3: I'm at dealership. So Dealership A, where I always go, says,
Speaker 3: we can't find the car you want, black with all
Speaker 3: the options you want. We can't find we don't have it.
Speaker 3: So I go to dealership B. Dealership B has two
Speaker 3: Dodge chargers black with all the options I want, but
Speaker 3: they're not giving me as good a deal as Dealership A.
Speaker 3: So while I'm there, I'm handling the price and then
Speaker 3: like it's still a little too high. So I get
Speaker 3: back in my car and they had they had moved
Speaker 3: the Dodge to one of the Dodge chargers to the
Speaker 3: front so I could sit in it and see it,
Speaker 3: you know. So it's as it's as I'm leaving, the
Speaker 3: guy gets in the car to put it back in
Speaker 3: the spot it was, and as he's backing the car up,
Speaker 3: another car rear ends the Dodge charger of the brand
Speaker 3: new one.
Speaker 2: Are you serious? In front? Of you this yes, and
Speaker 2: dents the back of the car. So I'm like, all right,
Speaker 2: well I'm clearly going to buy the other one, man,
Speaker 2: because that one's now got a dent in the trunk.
Speaker 4: Right, okay.
Speaker 3: So the guy parks the car and I don't leave.
Speaker 3: I walk over to the car and I take a
Speaker 3: picture of them in so I make sure that that
Speaker 3: car never ends up in my possession.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I get a call a couple of days later from dealership, A, Hey,
Speaker 3: we found a car. It's the black one you're looking for.
Speaker 3: We could have it here by Friday. Would you like
Speaker 3: to see it at the prices we discussed? Yeah, great, okay, sure,
Speaker 3: I know this is going. They transferred the car that
Speaker 3: had been in the accident that I saw, and I
Speaker 3: checked the vin and it was the same car.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's awful. I told him.
Speaker 3: I said, listen, that car was in an accident five
Speaker 3: days ago.
Speaker 2: I saw it in an accident. And they're like what.
Speaker 2: So they transferred the car back to the other dealers.
Speaker 2: Did they know they were getting a car that? No?
Speaker 2: Didn't even bother tell him? Did dealership a legally if
Speaker 2: it's under twelve hundred dollars you don't have to report it. Well,
Speaker 2: if you have your own body shop and they repair it,
Speaker 2: wink wink, and nobody charges anything, you don't report it.
Speaker 4: So let's just shove it. Let's just shove this car off.
Speaker 2: So so whenever you're getting a car from another dealership
Speaker 2: you should be no idea.
Speaker 3: But even if you get the car from a dealership,
Speaker 3: you have to ask was this in an accident?
Speaker 2: Was this repeatitive? Anyway?
Speaker 3: Even if it's new and the guy and the and
Speaker 3: the sales guy may don't even know because they may
Speaker 3: have fixed the paint before it ever got to the dealership.
Speaker 2: Wow, So that what is that? Scary? Tell me you
Speaker 2: got music to tell people what it is? I sure do.
Speaker 2: That's a big fat scam. Sh We just backed into
Speaker 2: that going on everywhere. We backed into that scamboni. Wow,
Speaker 2: this was just yesterday. I'm talking to the lawyer. He's like,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't believe it? This is who wouldn't believe what
Speaker 2: I see? This is just a tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I'm sure there's a whole lot more.
Speaker 3: Specialty is is he used to be on the side
Speaker 3: of the car dealerships, like be a car.
Speaker 4: Attorney right now.
Speaker 3: He's now, he's the now, he's the he's the people
Speaker 3: attorney for right people because he knows everything about cars.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: Some dealerships will put old tires that are new, but
Speaker 3: they've been sitting around for five six years on the car,
Speaker 3: and then and then sell the new ones off. Dude,
Speaker 3: And you have to check the year on the tire
Speaker 3: because it says on the tire like O two uh nineteen.
Speaker 3: That means second week of twenty nineteen. So you might
Speaker 3: be buying a new car that has five year old
Speaker 3: tires on it.
Speaker 2: If I think back to all the times I ever
Speaker 2: bought at least a car since I was seventeen years old, yep,
Speaker 2: I definitely got Scamboni somewhere along the way.
Speaker 3: But luckily for you, you never got like he never
Speaker 3: paid and you never got like in a ditch war,
Speaker 3: you know, called.
Speaker 2: Out on it. Thankfully. Wow. The more you know, boom boom,

Speaker 3: I said, I had plans, but I appreciate the invite.
Speaker 2: So I was going to meet her for brunch, and
Speaker 2: I went to go park the car. It was like
Speaker 2: on a side street in Manhattan on a Sunday. And
Speaker 2: and as I'm about to like roll up my window
Speaker 2: and turn the engine off, some guy comes storming down
Speaker 2: the street on foot and he's like and he's like, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: can I And he was like in a huff, can

Speaker 2: I did? Quarter foot baby, yeah, right, So I opened
Speaker 2: up the window a little bit. I said, can I
Speaker 2: help you? He goes, oh, man, he goes, I listen.
Speaker 2: I just worked the overnight shift, a double shift, and
Speaker 2: I left my car. I left my car here and
Speaker 2: it's gone. It's been towed. And and I and I
Speaker 2: got and I got to get back to Red Bank.
Speaker 2: I gotta get back to Red Bank. I just I
Speaker 2: and I got and I got no credit card on me.
Speaker 2: I got nothing. I no, I got no money on me.
Speaker 2: And he opens up. He pulls out his wallet and.
Speaker 3: You're reading the script. By the way, he's reading the
Speaker 3: scamboney script.
Speaker 2: The people come on and he opens up his wallet
Speaker 2: and there was an old, crusty wallet whatever. The only
Speaker 2: thing in there was an ID. He goes, this is me.
Speaker 2: This is my photo ID. Hees, Look, he's I don't
Speaker 2: have any credit cards on me. I got nothing. He goes,
Speaker 2: and I just need I forgot what the amount of
Speaker 2: money it was to get back to Red Bank or Middletown,
Speaker 2: wherever he was going. I think it was like he
Speaker 2: needed like fourteen dollars or sixteen dollars for whatever it was,
Speaker 2: for a train. He goes, I just need to get
Speaker 2: back there for the ferry of the train. I think
Speaker 2: there's a ferry that goes there too. Whatever it was,
Speaker 2: he needed public transport to get home. And he says
Speaker 2: that he had just pulled the double. He'd been working
Speaker 2: since four pm yesterday and somehow in the overnight they
Speaker 2: towed his car and he can't go to the Pound,
Speaker 2: the Toe Pound up in Midtown to go get the car.
Speaker 2: And yeah, so so what did I do, Brody?
Speaker 3: You stepped on the gas and got the hell out
Speaker 3: of there.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't do that, I said, Hey, buddy, I said,
Speaker 2: I said, just didn't do me a favor. Here, pay
Speaker 2: it forward, okay, will you? And I and I gave
Speaker 2: him twenty dollars. I didn't have change. I gave him
Speaker 2: twenty bucks. And he goes, oh my god, thank you man.
Speaker 2: You are a good soul. You are a good soul.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, sir. Oh and and and then
Speaker 2: he walked away in the direction of the downtown train hub.
Speaker 2: So he was going in that direction and he disappeared
Speaker 2: into thin air. What I didn't do the right thing? Okay,
Speaker 2: let's let's break this down.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, if you feel good about yourself giving
Speaker 3: a man who needs money, that's fine.
Speaker 4: I thought that was a war story. You're saying it's
Speaker 4: a scam.
Speaker 3: Don't you remember when Stephen, our former publicist for the
Speaker 3: Morning Show, got stopped in Jersey City by a guy
Speaker 3: who just needed to get back to Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: He needed train money.
Speaker 4: His car broke down at that guess is.
Speaker 2: The same story. It's like the guy that stopped me
Speaker 2: at Target.
Speaker 3: I told you the story of like six episodes ago,
Speaker 3: when the guy was like, oh, I just need money
Speaker 3: for gas, money for my truck to get back to
Speaker 3: Jersey or to get back to Philly. Whatever the story was,
Speaker 3: it's always far enough that you can't like take a
Speaker 3: cab or an uber. It's always just far enough that
Speaker 3: it's believable and accessible. It's never like I live one
Speaker 3: town away, I need like five bucks for Uber. It's
Speaker 3: always fifteen to twenty dollars. It's a scam story. It's
Speaker 3: the same story from every single person. I got no
Speaker 3: credit cards. I just got to get home. I call
Speaker 3: was told I worked this.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I just worked. He worked at Double. He
Speaker 2: worked at Double. The guy got the same checker. Then
Speaker 2: where's the money worked at Double? There?
Speaker 3: Where's the money? Who go leaves the house with no
Speaker 3: credit cards? If he had credit cards, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe he doesn't have credit cards. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his cars gone, It got told cars no money.
Speaker 2: If you're genuinely poor, what are you doing parking in
Speaker 2: a place where you getting caught? Told? On a Sunday
Speaker 2: On a Sunday, Saturday, Saturday. It was Saturday night. He
Speaker 2: said he had worked the Double. He'd been there since
Speaker 2: Saturday night. It was it was and it was around
Speaker 2: whatever time it was. It was like conveniently.
Speaker 3: When that when no place is open, it's late at night.
Speaker 3: The next day is Sunday when the impound yard won't
Speaker 3: be open.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a scam.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm all about giving money to people if you
Speaker 3: if you want to help them, that's fine, but don't
Speaker 3: believe the scam part.
Speaker 2: It's a scam. It's the same. You're from Brooklyn, where
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I know, but I wanted to think
Speaker 2: the best in the guy. I wanted to think that
Speaker 2: he wasn't going.
Speaker 3: To try And if the guy needs money that badly,
Speaker 3: that he's gonna come up to a stranger and ask for.
Speaker 2: Money, then you gave him money. To the right. I'm
Speaker 2: not I'm not heartless. I'm just pointing out you got
Speaker 2: scammed into it. The whole story was fake. Now you
Speaker 2: want to give money, that's your business, but the story
Speaker 2: is fucking fake. You don't think there's a beyond script script.
Speaker 2: They all say the same thing. But it's a plot.
Speaker 2: It's a plausible scenario. It can actually it works, that
Speaker 2: could actually happen to somebody. But then I said I
Speaker 2: need money to go to the moon. You would be like,
Speaker 2: get the fuck out of a crazy man, But they
Speaker 2: make it plausible.
Speaker 3: I just need to get back to where could I
Speaker 3: get fifteen? But how far is fifteen bucks away? How
Speaker 3: come they never live in Hoboke and one stop on
Speaker 3: the train away for four dollars?
Speaker 2: They never live right nearby. They never need subway fans.
Speaker 3: Just to get get like I just need two seventy
Speaker 3: five to get on the train.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, life evens itself out, and Karma's karma
Speaker 2: is on you twenty bucks. No, there's no karma. Nobody
Speaker 2: else in the world knows you. Like the time, like
Speaker 2: the time that I that I accidentally took that money
Speaker 2: from the gas station because they gave me the wrong change.
Speaker 2: Remember that happened to me and I was over the
Speaker 2: guy gave me change of how did you then? How
Speaker 2: did you lose out on money? Well? On what I'm
Speaker 2: saying is it's give a penny, take a penny of life.
Speaker 2: It's to give a penny. Table works at that point.
Speaker 2: I got a penny, and then I gave a penny,
Speaker 2: So I give a penny. No, didn't get you stole
Speaker 2: money from the gas station. Steal money for a gas station.
Speaker 2: The guy gave me the wrong change, and I didn't
Speaker 2: realize time was halfway up. The fucking turnpike. That that
Speaker 2: that I had the wrong that wrong amount back to
Speaker 2: that gas station.
Speaker 4: No, I never was I never passed that way again.
Speaker 3: Did you remember the gas station to call them and
Speaker 3: tell him to charge your credit card that.
Speaker 4: Went through this it was enlisted.
Speaker 2: Whatever that. My point is, sometimes you win in life
Speaker 2: and sometimes you lose in life.
Speaker 4: So you lost money, right, But there's been a time.
Speaker 2: And how's the.
Speaker 3: Guy who's begging for money gonna help the next guy
Speaker 3: when someone comes up to him tells him they need
Speaker 3: money to get back to Philadelphia's gonna give hi money?
Speaker 2: And and who's to say that it can't be a
Speaker 2: true story Because it's plausible means it can be true.
Speaker 4: You never know, what if they want to get.
Speaker 3: Plausible, so you'll go, yeah, but what if he's telling
Speaker 3: the truth? You know what you say, you're paying the
Speaker 3: price for everyone who lied before you with the same story,
Speaker 3: and then you give him the money.
Speaker 4: You're a You're a fucking adult.
Speaker 3: You don't go to you don't go from central New
Speaker 3: Jersey to work in Manhattan with no money and no
Speaker 3: credit cards.
Speaker 2: You're an adult. And then park your car in a towzone.
Speaker 2: You're an adult. All three of those things can't happen
Speaker 2: if I drive, I have credit cards in my driver's license.
Speaker 2: Who takes credit cards out of their wallet? Ever? He had,
Speaker 2: he had a driver's license on him. I saw he,
Speaker 2: I like checked his ID and he couldn't have bought
Speaker 2: that in Times Square, a fake driver's license. I love
Speaker 2: ship out everything. Did you check for the hologram? No?
Speaker 2: He had nothing in his wile. He didn't have a
Speaker 2: medical card. He didn't have a shopright card. No, he
Speaker 2: didn't have nothing ID nothing in it. How do you
Speaker 2: go through life? You don't have any cards in your
Speaker 2: wallet of any kind? Not a was a home then
Speaker 2: if that's the case, he's homeless, then he needs it.
Speaker 3: He needs the money, Bony, he's a scammer. Did he
Speaker 3: look homeless to you? I don't know what a homeless
Speaker 3: guy looks like.
Speaker 2: I mean, he looked a little. No, he looked like
Speaker 2: he could have worked, you know, you know, a double
Speaker 2: shift and been you know, he wasn't in a suit,
Speaker 2: you know workers. Where's his cell phone? He couldn't call
Speaker 2: his coworkers. I don't know. I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 2: Doesn't who he doesn't He doesn't have an uber app.
Speaker 2: I think his cell phone was dead. I think he
Speaker 2: said that at the oh there you go way, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my phone's dead. Yeah phone, his phone was dead.
Speaker 4: The whole check let.
Speaker 3: You fell for the whole checklist, dude, I was on
Speaker 3: one percent. My phone died when I was trying to
Speaker 3: call for help. I was trying to call everybody.
Speaker 2: In my phone. Who's whose phone dies? Anymore? My phone dies,
Speaker 2: I've been I haven't.
Speaker 3: My phone hasn't died in ten years. I think I
Speaker 3: android my daughter. I texted my oldest daughter all the time.
Speaker 3: She doesn't get back to me, like till a day later.
Speaker 3: I say, I say it to my daughter. I go, hey, great,
Speaker 3: great response time. You know it says to me, my
Speaker 3: phone was at one percent when you texted. I look
Speaker 3: at the history of our calls. Every time I text her,
Speaker 3: she tells me, oh, my phone is on one percent.
Speaker 3: The fuck out of here. Your phone is out of
Speaker 3: the phone. It's a two year old phone. It's fine.
Speaker 3: I'm still making payments on it. So you're so so
Speaker 3: you are you are of the so? First of all,
Speaker 3: would you have given him the money?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: First of all, I don't carry cash on me unless
Speaker 3: I know I'm going for a place that charges more
Speaker 3: for credit cards.
Speaker 2: This thing that sucks is it was a fourteen dollars
Speaker 2: fare and it was it was just to write about
Speaker 2: twenty Yeah, because I don't have fourteen singles.
Speaker 4: I didn't have a ten and four singles.
Speaker 3: Tell me if it was nine dollars, you give him
Speaker 3: a ten he gave He said it was fourteen. You
Speaker 3: were like, h h, that's a good number. Fourteen's a
Speaker 3: good number to get a twenty number to a round up.
Speaker 3: More than ten adds a round up. Surprised he didn't
Speaker 3: say sixteen this way gets you in case you at
Speaker 3: ten and a five.
Speaker 4: So I just I just gave a rando twenty bucks
Speaker 4: for nothing.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Well listen, he needed the money more than you apparently.
Speaker 3: But you know we went to another car five minutes later.
Speaker 3: If that scam worked on you, you think he took that
Speaker 3: twenty bucks and was like, I now have enough money
Speaker 3: to get myself a piece of pizza and I got
Speaker 3: a ride home.
Speaker 4: Or do you think he went up to the next car.
Speaker 4: I went, that was easy. I'll do it again.
Speaker 2: I mean, he sees the guy in the beamer, so
Speaker 2: I'm an obvious target right. It's like, Oh, the guy
Speaker 2: in the sports.
Speaker 3: Car gonna go to him with Jersey plates with Jersey
Speaker 3: He doesn't know because you acted like a guy from Jersey,
Speaker 3: South Jersey, not not North Jersey where everyone's from the
Speaker 3: borrows you make.
Speaker 2: You got scambonied. I didn't want the guy. I didn't
Speaker 2: want the guy to have like a miserable day. You know,
Speaker 2: I just for whatever reason, I just I gave you
Speaker 2: the money. Listen, I have the reason why I brought
Speaker 2: it up on this podcast is because more than you,
Speaker 2: but you got scambonied.
Speaker 3: And the reason why you could you give homeless guys
Speaker 3: money all you want.
Speaker 2: The reason why I brought it up on this podcast
Speaker 2: was because it was I was fifty to fifty. I
Speaker 2: was on the fence if it was a believable story
Speaker 2: or not. So surprise you didn't give him a fifty.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3: Scary you ever been walking down the street or on
Speaker 3: the subway and a real homeless guy comes up to
Speaker 3: you for food. He has no shoes, his closer rip
Speaker 3: looked like he was at a bad time forever. When
Speaker 3: was the last time he gave them twenty bucks?
Speaker 2: I've given I've actually given them. I've actually given them
Speaker 2: like five bucks if I had something in my pocket.
Speaker 2: I was so not twenty No.
Speaker 3: People were actually living on the street on a cardboard
Speaker 3: box with no food, no shoes.
Speaker 2: I've given them five bucks. My friend actually jets keep Brian.
Speaker 2: Jet's keep Brian, though, jets keep Brian. Jets key. Brian
Speaker 2: actually saw a woman, uh and she had no she
Speaker 2: had no shoes or anything. So he and her feet
Speaker 2: looked looked all cut up. So he took off his
Speaker 2: sneakers and he gave them to her, and she put
Speaker 2: them on, she tried them on, and he went over
Speaker 2: to his car, his truck. He luckily had another pair
Speaker 2: of sneakers in his truck, but he gave but he
Speaker 2: had these I guess kick around sneakers, and he gave
Speaker 2: him to her, and you know, something that was very
Speaker 2: admirable of him. And I would do the same thing
Speaker 2: if I had sneakers nearby that I can actually know
Speaker 2: what cheap slide into no or well, you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not giving Awaybaton if they Lubaton's and the Gucci, it's
Speaker 2: a non starter.
Speaker 3: I'm not okay, So so nice, nice try gas lighting
Speaker 3: with that story about Brian. You've never given an actual
Speaker 3: homeless person twenty bucks. How's that gas lighting? Because you
Speaker 3: changed the subject to Brian. He'd be like, oh, look
Speaker 3: over here smoking mirrors.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I have bony because you're not a person who normally
Speaker 3: gives twenty dollars to homeless people. So you got scamboni
Speaker 3: by a story from a guy who has a job.
Speaker 3: We don't know if he has a job, he worked
Speaker 3: a double you're telling me, he said, Now you're telling
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, is either side of that coin if
Speaker 3: he was, if he was desperate and homeless, and he was,
Speaker 3: and he made up a story, so be it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: But when you gave a home, then I gave Then
Speaker 4: I gave a home person.
Speaker 3: No, you didn't in your mind, you gave twenty dollars
Speaker 3: to a guy with a car and a job and
Speaker 3: a home in Red Bank, New Jersey, instead of the
Speaker 3: person on the street who actually has no home.
Speaker 2: But either way you either way. No, but either way,
Speaker 2: I gave twenty dollars, whether the guy but he needed
Speaker 2: twenty dollars to someone really needs it, whether he didn't
Speaker 2: need well, then well, if I'm arguing from your perspective,
Speaker 2: he really needed it because he was a such a story.
Speaker 3: It's the homeless people that occasionally you give five dollars to.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is you got up charged for a
Speaker 3: story because you might have given him five bucks if
Speaker 3: he said, hey, man, can I get a couple? If
Speaker 3: he said to you, can I get a couple of bucks?
Speaker 3: I need to get home, you would have given him
Speaker 3: a five dollar dollar bill. Yeah, he sold you on
Speaker 3: the dessert and the chie, the three dollar cheese on
Speaker 3: your hamburger. He upsold you to fourteen dollars and he
Speaker 3: got you suck it into twenty. He upsold you and
Speaker 3: your generosity, which you have never shown to a homeless
Speaker 3: person before.
Speaker 2: You know what extra for the story? I paid extra
Speaker 2: for the story. I paid extra for the cheese. I
Speaker 2: paid for cheese. How about that he.
Speaker 4: Brought Zeno Joe, he got his bron zeno.
Speaker 2: If you don't know what we're talking about, listen to
Speaker 2: the last episode of The Broken Boys pod people listen
Speaker 2: in order. K all right, thanks, what's lube got to
Speaker 2: do with it? What the cat? We will be right back, man.
Speaker 2: Just keep hammering me into the ground. Why don't you did,
Speaker 2: David Brody.
Speaker 3: Again, you're a good person, but there's something's off there.
Speaker 3: Something's off.
Speaker 4: That's why I brought it up. So I told you.
Speaker 3: I told you there was an issue at the UPS
Speaker 3: store that did not involve me. I want to tell
Speaker 3: you that story. You tell me how you'd react. I'm
Speaker 3: second in line at the UPS store. I'm just there
Speaker 3: to drop off her Amazon return and get the hell
Speaker 3: out of the right I just need to give him
Speaker 3: the box, get her receipt, get the hell out of that.
Speaker 3: There's a woman in front of me with her teenage daughter,
Speaker 3: and she's one of these like fourteen year old girls
Speaker 3: who folds her arms and goes, oh wait, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So I waited almost ten minutes, scary to get next
Speaker 3: in line. Why so, apparently this woman had to do
Speaker 3: a return at Whole Foods. Now, Whole Foods, if you
Speaker 3: don't know, is owned by Amazon.
Speaker 4: And if you don't know, now you know. Now you
Speaker 4: know you know.
Speaker 3: And in almost every location that I know, Whole Foods
Speaker 3: has a return center where you can bring your Amazon returns.
Speaker 3: Then they check them in, they scan your barcode or
Speaker 3: your your QR code. And then they throw them all
Speaker 3: in a giant box and they take it boom done. Sometimes,
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, Amazon tells you to box stuff up.
Speaker 3: Most of the time not but sometimes they tell you
Speaker 3: to box it and label it and hand it in.
Speaker 2: Well, this woman.
Speaker 3: Must have had to return her cable box to Verizon
Speaker 3: and also make a return to Amazon. She dropped off
Speaker 3: the Verizon box with the label. She put the label
Speaker 3: to Amazon on the box with the Verizon cable box,
Speaker 3: and she gave it to Whole Foods. Well, she went
Speaker 3: to Whole Foods and they told her, there's not what
Speaker 3: we can do about it. Your box is already on
Speaker 3: its way to Seattle or whatever wherever the wherever the
Speaker 3: sorting center is, wherever the warehouse is for Amazon. So
Speaker 3: she figured, well, they ship UPS. That's how she got
Speaker 3: the package. That was the label that she put on
Speaker 3: the box. So she comes to the UPS store so
Speaker 3: they can help her figure out where her package is.
Speaker 3: So the guy says, look, Amazon is not affiliated with UPS.
Speaker 3: Even if they use UPS to ship it back, I
Speaker 3: can't pull it up because they didn't scan it in.
Speaker 3: They scan it in for their system, but they didn't
Speaker 3: scan it in for UPS.
Speaker 4: So I don't know how they shipped it.
Speaker 3: They could have put it on a truck and drove
Speaker 3: it to the factory, you know, the where there were Amazon.
Speaker 2: There's Amazon warehouses all over. So she's like, as of now,
Speaker 2: they haven't scanned it. I can't help you. We're not affiliated.
Speaker 3: So that seems easy enough to understand, right, not affiliated,
Speaker 3: I can't help you, So she says, but how do
Speaker 3: I get my stuff back? He says, call Amazon. She says, yes,
Speaker 3: but it was a UPS label. I gave the cable
Speaker 3: box to the people at Whole Foods. He says, yes,
Speaker 3: but again, there's no way I can track it. We're
Speaker 3: not the same system. They have a private account. I
Speaker 3: don't know what they do. We have nothing to do
Speaker 3: with it. You have to call Amazon. They own Whole Foods.
Speaker 3: She says, Will they send my box back once they
Speaker 3: get it? He says, I have no idea about your box,
Speaker 3: at which point I start going.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to be more like John
Speaker 2: Pennett girline. The story's not over yet. Oh here comes
Speaker 2: There's still room for that.
Speaker 3: Then she then turns around and gives me a look
Speaker 3: like why am I laughing? So then she goes back
Speaker 3: to the guy. They won't sell my box to throw
Speaker 3: it out, will they? He says, again, I have no
Speaker 3: idea about your box, which I start laughing.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: He is, I don't work at Amazon, Lady, please just
Speaker 3: call Amazon. So she says, well, I have to pay
Speaker 3: for the shipping to get it back, ma'am, I have
Speaker 3: no idea. I don't work for Amazon because but they
Speaker 3: should ship it back for free, right, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I have other customers here. I don't work for Amazon. Well,
Speaker 3: what's the phone number for Amazon? I don't know the
Speaker 3: phone number? Man, She says, how do you not have
Speaker 3: the numbers? You guys are ups? They ship ups. He goes,
Speaker 3: you're affiliated. No, no, we're not. We're not affiliated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a.
Speaker 4: Simple concept that she's not processing.
Speaker 2: So I go, let's go, right, let's go.
Speaker 3: And again she turns around and gives me the look,
Speaker 3: and as she looks at me, the guy winks at
Speaker 3: me like like it, with a smile on his face.
Speaker 3: She turns back and she goes, so you're not gonna
Speaker 3: help me. He says, I can't help you. You you
Speaker 3: made the mistake. If it's just you, gotta hope Amazon
Speaker 3: doesn't throw it. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2: She she goes, thanks a lot, what terrible customer service,
Speaker 2: and she storms out. And by the way, the whole
Speaker 2: time I mentioned the teenage daughter. The whole time, the
Speaker 2: daughter's rolling her eyes like she wants to get out
Speaker 2: of there, and she's like pulling her mom's shirt, like, mom,
Speaker 2: the guy told you you can't.
Speaker 3: She can't. He can't help you. And she's like, leave
Speaker 3: me alone, leave me alone. The daughter knew what was
Speaker 3: going on. The daughter was so embarrassed by her mother.
Speaker 4: Over and over and over and over.
Speaker 2: Again, she wouldn't leave the store. Scary, what would you
Speaker 2: have done? I mean I would have sat there or
Speaker 2: walked away and be like, I'll do this another, this
Speaker 2: transaction another time. I would have got quiet. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's none of my business. It's her transaction.
Speaker 2: It's her stupidity. She's not clear, she's clearly like her
Speaker 2: elevator is not going to the top floor.
Speaker 3: Brody, I know, but at some point, Scary I was
Speaker 3: gonna say, man, you gotta can I get Can I
Speaker 3: get in and get my package?
Speaker 2: She ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Speaker 3: She's not thank you, thank you mouth yeah, yeah, that
Speaker 3: was my That was my experience at UPS. Had to
Speaker 3: wait almost ten minutes while this woman and by the way,
Speaker 3: it didn't go as quick as I just did it.
Speaker 2: It was more like, well, but will they ship it back? Right?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, maybe maybe she was just it
Speaker 2: was she was realizing it right then and there that
Speaker 2: she fucked up, right.
Speaker 3: But after the third or fourth time of when not affiliated,
Speaker 3: I can't help you, and then she got mad at
Speaker 3: the guy and she's like, terrible customer service?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's he supposed to do? Driver her to Amazon.
Speaker 2: Those are the people that downgrade restaurants on restaurant reviews
Speaker 2: online on Google. Oh, terrible customer service to one. Okay,
Speaker 2: the rest of the food is so good at this place,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna put it as a one because the
Speaker 2: waiter just was a little lax or whatever the case.
Speaker 4: I can't stand people like that.
Speaker 2: They just they literally downvote the entire thing and they
Speaker 2: make it one star. Just well.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I screenshoted a couple of reviews,
Speaker 3: so I wanted I'll read them now, since you just
Speaker 3: told me that people leave reviews that are negative. I
Speaker 3: was going to a place the other night. I was
Speaker 3: looking for a place to go.
Speaker 2: Saturday night and hang out with a friend and he's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, you picked the place. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 3: So I found this restaurant reading reviews and this is
Speaker 3: what they wrote. The place has like a four point
Speaker 3: five rating. But I always look at the negative ones
Speaker 3: also to see, like like if they found bugs in
Speaker 3: the place, or I want to see what they said.
Speaker 2: Hostess should be fired. Didn't greet us first and at all,
Speaker 2: and then let us stand there for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: There's a thirty five dollars minimum before she.
Speaker 2: Would see us.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Asked if we had reservations. It
Speaker 3: was a dozen tables available at nine pm at night.
Speaker 3: Then ordered a water and said only bottled water so
Speaker 3: they can charge. They charged me two dollars. The steak
Speaker 3: sandwich was salty, and I had to go see my
Speaker 3: doctor for high blood pressure medicine. Parking sucks, construction vehicles everywhere,
Speaker 3: no parking.
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 4: Your place sucks all around.
Speaker 3: Oh and we spent eighty nine dollars and your hostess
Speaker 3: can go fuck herself.
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 4: Where was this on Yelp? On Google reviews?
Speaker 2: Which are the ones you like. I love Google reviews.
Speaker 2: They're better than Yelp. People on Yelp have an axe
Speaker 2: to grind. I hate Yelp reviews. I always take to review. Wow.
Speaker 4: Now wait, was this a restaurant? Like a restaurant a restaurant?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So then I was planning sometime last week. I had
Speaker 3: some day off and uh I was. I was like,
Speaker 3: going to go away for a day up, you know,
Speaker 3: not like an afternoon.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, where can I drive?
Speaker 3: Want to go to a casino, just to just to
Speaker 3: be different, maybe get a buffet, you know. So I
Speaker 3: pulled up Remember Resorts World in Hudson Valley. They used
Speaker 3: to be a sponsored the morning.
Speaker 2: Yes, very well reviewed.
Speaker 3: But I was like, let me see if they're open,
Speaker 3: if the water park there's a water park there.
Speaker 4: Here's the review.
Speaker 3: Scared, you tell me if there's a fair review from
Speaker 3: someone who doesn't understand math. I played the roulette here
Speaker 3: today I only play the colors, meaning red and black,
Speaker 3: and was shocked to see black hit fifteen times in
Speaker 3: a row before I walked out. The odds of the
Speaker 3: same color hitting fifteen times in a row are forty
Speaker 3: nine thousand and four twenty three to one was the
Speaker 3: machine that lucky naturally or did it have help?
Speaker 2: No? Damn you know what the the odds are, yes,
Speaker 2: I do. It's one out of fifty fifty fifty. The
Speaker 2: rule that wheel doesn't have a memory. Fifty fifty odds
Speaker 2: are the same every spin, it's fifty to fifty red black.
Speaker 2: It's like it's called gambler's fallacy. Yeah, fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2: It really is true. And if it comes out a coin, yep,
Speaker 2: if you can.
Speaker 3: Coin one hundred times and let's say it comes out
Speaker 3: heads ninety nine times in a row and one hundredth time.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do.
Speaker 3: You're gonna bet at all it's gonna be tails. But
Speaker 3: the odds are still the same that it's going to
Speaker 3: be heads or tails when you flip it. Coin doesn't
Speaker 3: remember the last ninety nine flips exactly. So this woman
Speaker 3: left them, and as if it's their fault they scammed her. Well, listen,
Speaker 3: after it came out black nine times, why didn't you
Speaker 3: put it on black? Why didn't you put your money
Speaker 3: on black? Obviously this fucking woman kept playing red. She
Speaker 3: probably like, oh, it came out black nine times in
Speaker 3: a row, I'll play red. And it came up black
Speaker 3: ten times. She probably said, oh, it's destined to come
Speaker 3: out red. She's idiot, kept playing red.
Speaker 2: So let me let me ask, then, how does she
Speaker 2: come up with that fuzzy math of forty nine that
Speaker 2: one in forty nine thousand? Was?
Speaker 3: She like, have no idea, because ultimately it's it's two
Speaker 3: times two.
Speaker 2: I guess I think.
Speaker 4: I think if you look at it as an.
Speaker 2: Entire the fifteenth power, hold on, I'll do you right now.
Speaker 2: If you look at the if you look at fifteen spins,
Speaker 2: I'd say, what are the odds that it's going to
Speaker 2: come out black? Fourteen out of fifteen times?
Speaker 3: Okay, First of all, the number would have to be even.
Speaker 3: It's thirty two thousand, seven hundred and sixty eight. Is
Speaker 3: is because you multiply two times two times fifteen times, right,
Speaker 3: that's the She doesn't.
Speaker 2: Even the number, right, I'm not sure how you get
Speaker 2: an odd number. It's now listen unless she can't.
Speaker 3: Now there are hold on a second, there are spaces
Speaker 3: on the roulette wheel that aren't colors, right, Well, no,
Speaker 3: this there's.
Speaker 2: Two there's there's two green ones. That's a zero and
Speaker 2: a double zero on an American Roulett wheel. A European
Speaker 2: wheel only has U zero the green.
Speaker 3: Slightly less than fifty to fifty. Correct, maybe it's forty
Speaker 3: eight percent. Forty eight percent and then two percent. It's
Speaker 3: gonna land on.
Speaker 2: Green, right right, But either way your odds of forty
Speaker 2: eight percent is gonna land on red or black? It's
Speaker 2: it's look it up Google, gambler's fallacy. It's the fallacy
Speaker 2: of thinking that it can't happen because oh, there's a
Speaker 2: street going. There's no street.
Speaker 3: Wheel doesn't know that there doesn't The Roulette ball doesn't go.
Speaker 3: I've landed in black fifth fourteen times, so now the
Speaker 3: odds are better I land in red.
Speaker 2: No, the odds are the same.
Speaker 4: Odds are the same, right right, So fuck car, Fuck car,
Speaker 4: is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Nice review like that, thank you? Yeah right, But that's
Speaker 2: what I like. People ruin it for everyone. I have
Speaker 2: to see through the bullshit. When I see people, I
Speaker 2: always read, I always go to when I'm looking at reviews,
Speaker 2: I was sort by the word and I see what
Speaker 2: the one star reviews are. If they are like palatable,
Speaker 2: is that the right word arguments? If it's if it's
Speaker 2: an argument that's feasible or that makes sense, then I'll
Speaker 2: take it into I'll take stock of it, and i'll
Speaker 2: take it into account. Right, But I'm not suffering. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna like, especially with hotel reviews. I'm not sitting
Speaker 2: there caring about, oh, the fact that that you saw
Speaker 2: a roach in your room so you downvoted in to
Speaker 2: a one star, or that the lady they wouldn't give
Speaker 2: you money back because they charge whatever, any any minutia
Speaker 2: and bullshit like that, or the front desk person was
Speaker 2: rude to me one star. Those that person worked there,
Speaker 2: I filtered. I filter those reviews out. I need to
Speaker 2: see a trend of really bad reviews. If everybody says
Speaker 2: the food's always bad, yeah, that's what I'm looking for,
Speaker 2: or or the rooms are dirty, I need to see
Speaker 2: twenty comments. I need to see a lot of those comments.
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I see a trend developing here.
Speaker 2: I'm not making one person at word because they had
Speaker 2: a shitty experience.
Speaker 3: But it's like if you're like, oh, I went to
Speaker 3: a water park, someone shit in the pool one star.
Speaker 3: That's not the place's fault, right, and it's not going
Speaker 3: to happen when I go there necessarily.
Speaker 2: Well, actually it may, yeah, you may in the pool. Well,
Speaker 2: there was an old joke.
Speaker 3: I forget the comedian, Honey, young men, I forget it
Speaker 3: was Jackie Me. I forget it was I'll have to
Speaker 3: look it up. But he told a joke. He said,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm afraid of flying. I'm always afraid of
Speaker 3: terrorism on planes. This is a long time ago, when
Speaker 3: when the security at airports wasn't what it is now.
Speaker 3: And he said, you know, the odds of a bomb
Speaker 3: being on a plane are like five million to one.
Speaker 3: The odds of two bombs being on a plane from
Speaker 3: two different people are one hundred million to one. Here,
Speaker 3: so bring a bomb on a plane, meaning the odds
Speaker 3: of the second person having a bomb is dramatically you know, lower,
Speaker 3: lower right, Hio. So so if I take a shit
Speaker 3: in the pool, the odds on there being two shits
Speaker 3: in the pool is lower. See at the casino, you
Speaker 3: just turned the golden nugget into the brown nugget.
Speaker 2: And Brody, oh, you know what you just did?
Speaker 3: What do you know what you just did?
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say his full name.
Speaker 3: You just pulled a todd You just todded.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna explain. It's you can relate it to the
Speaker 2: Seinfeld episode. It's about going out on a high. Remember
Speaker 2: that episode. It was the famous episode where they all
Speaker 2: try and you know they try and like it was
Speaker 2: George George. George told a joke in the meeting and
Speaker 2: he's like, that's it, I'm out. He goes, My problem
Speaker 2: is I stay around longer. I follow up with another
Speaker 2: joke and it doesn't work. He said, you gotta laugh,
Speaker 2: you'll leave. So he's in a work meeting that just started.
Speaker 3: He tells a joke and they laughed, and he goes,
Speaker 3: all right, I'm out and he leaves. Yeah, and they
Speaker 3: all remember him as being funny. Now I'm gonna tell
Speaker 3: a story about Todd. I'm not gonna say any more
Speaker 3: any more specific than that. But there was a guy
Speaker 3: who did radio that we're aware of. I shouldn't the
Speaker 3: story scare you're making a face, No, go ahead, And
Speaker 3: people who worked for him said he was known for
Speaker 3: wanting to go to commercial after a big joke, right,
Speaker 3: and it had to be his joke. In other words,
Speaker 3: he had to be the last person funny and then
Speaker 3: to go to commercial.
Speaker 2: So if somebody else had a joke.
Speaker 3: He'd keep going till he had the punchline, so that
Speaker 3: you remember he was the last voice that spoke, so
Speaker 3: he would say something funny and then point to the
Speaker 3: guy running the board. He was like, ah, and that's
Speaker 3: why the chicken died, and he pointed to him like
Speaker 3: hit the button. So even if they weren't supposed to
Speaker 3: go to commercial, they would go to commercial after he
Speaker 3: had a punchline.
Speaker 2: So you just did that forty seconds so forty seconds. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but like he didn't care how long. He could have
Speaker 2: had like ten minutes to talk and it's minute three
Speaker 2: and he got it's a great joke. Hit the button. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he would point like hit that dogtown, and if you
Speaker 2: didn't hit the butt, he got mad at you, Like
Speaker 2: he'd get mad, like were supposed to a commercial because
Speaker 2: he wanted me what he was mad. You're like, I
Speaker 2: why didn't problem? No, they didn't do it on purpose.
Speaker 2: We were like five minutes over there. But I you know, whatever,
Speaker 2: you just go with it, you run with it. So yeah,
Speaker 2: you todded me. Hey, I was I'm finally I'm an
Speaker 2: officially officially a godfather. Oh right at the big ceremony. Yeah, happy,
Speaker 2: Uh I guess what do you call baptism to to
Speaker 2: Enzo Cossenza. Enzo Cascenza, my new godson. That is my
Speaker 2: my friend's share who I do my other podcast with
Speaker 2: Speaking Viomes podcast, uh Share and Scott and their daughter
Speaker 2: poor shah. Uh yeah. So so now they have a
Speaker 2: fourth and uh he was welcomed to the Church of God,
Speaker 2: fourth member of the family. Four member for the fourth
Speaker 2: member of the family. Yeah right, so rollers crazy right
Speaker 2: so now right exactly makes it even four. So it
Speaker 2: was it was awesome, It was enlightening. Did you put
Speaker 2: water on his head? Did you do anything religious? I did.
Speaker 2: My job was to dab his forehead after the water
Speaker 2: was poured on him. So you dabbed. I dabbed a
Speaker 2: little dad, will do you? You put your armond into
Speaker 2: your uh oh no idead like a football dab yeah,
Speaker 2: football dab no, no, no, no, look at you with the.
Speaker 3: Brill cream reference. So little dabble do you?
Speaker 2: Nineteen fifties? Wow? Yeah, for all you eighty year olds
Speaker 2: listening right now, now, it was seventies and eighties commercial
Speaker 2: let's a whatever. So got into a little bit of uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I almost drowned the kid. Oh, I
Speaker 2: got into a little bit of an argument, not an argument,
Speaker 2: but a disagreement with people you well about about the gift.
Speaker 3: I feel that you give him a plate. No, see,
Speaker 3: that's the thing people are saying, you gave me a place,
Speaker 3: really one of my kids a silver spoon. I thought, Now,
Speaker 3: you gave me a plate, a parridge, a parrige cup,
Speaker 3: a paringer.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you something with a spoon.
Speaker 3: There's a plate. It was like a bowl. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: you sold it if you sold it online? Of course,
Speaker 3: What are my kids gonna do with that ship?
Speaker 2: See? Exactly? Well, okay, well, which is exactly why I mean.
Speaker 2: I've I've grown up since then, Brodie, and I've learned
Speaker 2: a lot about the world. So so for the same
Speaker 2: reason why you say, what am I going to do
Speaker 2: with that ship? Is the same reason why I didn't
Speaker 2: listen to people's advice when they told me I needed
Speaker 2: to buy a gold cross for the kid with or
Speaker 2: with something like a memento, like some kind of a
Speaker 2: a chain the Godfather, Sure, yeah, a chain with a
Speaker 2: cross or something or and I'm like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: I'm like, fucking cash is king? I'm giving this kid cash?
Speaker 2: Fuck this, get him a savings bond something. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's going to go into his Uh, it's going to
Speaker 2: go into a savings account. Maybe it'll grow, who knows
Speaker 2: with interest rates. But but you know, my I'm thinking
Speaker 2: that that was the right thing to do, you know.
Speaker 4: And then some evolving bond some people like people still.
Speaker 2: You ain't at a wedding. You got to give the
Speaker 2: kid a gift, a physical gift. What kind of godfather
Speaker 2: gift is that? And so you know, you know, and
Speaker 2: then and then then the amount, oh my god, the
Speaker 2: amount that people say online was was you know, below
Speaker 2: my uh, what I believed I needed to give. I
Speaker 2: needed to come correct, I needed to go. I stepped
Speaker 2: further as godfather. Two hundred bucks? Two hundred kid?
Speaker 3: Can you don't even know the kid when he's old
Speaker 3: enough to know you?
Speaker 4: Come on, okay, how much did you givet You're just
Speaker 4: gonna leave it right there?
Speaker 2: No, you know, you did? You do? You did? Let
Speaker 2: me guess, Let me guess. Did what's the little kid's name?
Speaker 2: Did Enzo leave his money home and have to get
Speaker 2: back to Red Bank, New Jersey? So you gave him
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars? Well, first of all. It was a
Speaker 2: gift from Robin and I, Robin and me, Robin and me,
Speaker 2: the both of us.
Speaker 4: Okay, so it was from you, No, but you know
Speaker 4: it was on behalf of both of us, no offense.
Speaker 2: But you gave it was on beh half of both
Speaker 2: of us. So I had to give a bigger gift.
Speaker 2: I gave a bigger gift. I didn't gi him two
Speaker 2: hundred dollars. I gave him more than that. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: we'll just leave it there.
Speaker 3: I hope, well you gave more than five. No, dude,
Speaker 3: I got a fucking plate in a spoon for my kids.
Speaker 2: You didn't make me the godfather of your kids. This
Speaker 2: is why. Wait a second. You're Jewish. We have godfathers,
Speaker 2: we have godparents. Oh, you don't do god parents. You've
Speaker 2: got parents.
Speaker 3: My uncle was my godfather. He didn't do much for me,
Speaker 3: but he gave you know, he was took care of
Speaker 3: his fine. Oh anyway, we don't have a ceremony. We
Speaker 3: put water on my head.
Speaker 2: All right? You get scary? What what?
Speaker 3: You're out of control? You make too much money?
Speaker 2: No, I don't. You're throwing money around like water. You're
Speaker 2: giving the guy from Red Bank New Jersey twenty bucks.
Speaker 2: You gave a kid who doesn't even know you. Call it,
Speaker 2: oh my god, call it communism. That's not what communism means.
Speaker 2: Socialism called that's not what socialism means. I'm just spreading
Speaker 2: my money around for everybody to share. Not not my
Speaker 2: money is your money. Not to bring up politics, but
Speaker 2: I find this.
Speaker 3: Certain people that throw the words Marxist, communist around these.
Speaker 2: Days no clue what the words means. In its basic
Speaker 2: form and basic principle, that is what it is. It's
Speaker 2: a sharing. It's a common sharing of everything. Everybody gets
Speaker 2: to share.
Speaker 3: Every Communism means you wouldn't make more than anybody else, ever,
Speaker 3: make the same.
Speaker 2: Even and out, even it out. Everybody gets to eve.
Speaker 2: So in this case, so then I then you should
Speaker 2: give me the gift for my kids that you did
Speaker 2: your games. So now I owe you a gift because
Speaker 2: I didn't because I didn't give you, You owe me.
Speaker 3: You owe me at least a grand for my kids.
Speaker 3: Fuck out of you give share a gift kid, You'll never.
Speaker 2: See them again. That's not true. You'll never see that kid.
Speaker 2: Come on, hang out of her house. Well, I maybe
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to from here on out. I mean,
Speaker 2: the last time you were in the same room with
Speaker 2: share it was a while ago. It was last year
Speaker 2: for her daughter's birthday. Her daughter loves me. Well, how
Speaker 2: much did you give her? I didn't give her anything. Now,
Speaker 2: some people were saying that you have to buy got
Speaker 2: for free you get to job. You know. Some people
Speaker 2: are saying that you have to actually buy something for
Speaker 2: the sibling because because they say that one person is
Speaker 2: celebrating something and the other kid gets jealous. I don't
Speaker 2: know these things. I don't have kids, man, I'm not
Speaker 2: mut to it. Now you're practically own this one. I
Speaker 2: give him a nice gift as a starting, you know,
Speaker 2: as a ramp up to his life. Okay, let's do
Speaker 2: his parents are going to spend that money on a vacation. No,
Speaker 2: they're not. Who steals money from their kids most people? No, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my parents didn't, but most people do. I know somebody's
Speaker 2: parents took all their money and they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: we spent it on family trips, so you benefited. You
Speaker 2: mean to tell me that when people were giving their
Speaker 2: kids gifts growing up, and they or they would collect
Speaker 2: from the relatives and stuff like that. For the first second, third,
Speaker 2: those those early birthdays where you're not conscious and you
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell's going on in life. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's out, that money's gone. They don't sen u because
Speaker 2: people they don't send up out that checking account for you.
Speaker 3: A bank account is something some people do. Some people,
Speaker 3: you know what the problem is. Some people go, you
Speaker 3: know what, the kid just got eight thousand dollars. He's
Speaker 3: not gonna need it till he's eighteen. We'll put it
Speaker 3: back in in eighteen years. I owe you and I
Speaker 3: owe you. And then they forget.
Speaker 2: They don't remember the exact amount, They don't calculate the interest.
Speaker 2: I got it. I gotta ask my dad.
Speaker 3: No, they might have to ask your dad if he
Speaker 3: admits it. But let's ask the slices. Slices, here's your assignment.
Speaker 3: Here's your assignment for this one. Did your parents spend
Speaker 3: all the money you got for your bar mitzvah or
Speaker 3: your your whatever sweet sixteen, your communion you're sixteen.
Speaker 2: Year old enough? Or did they use the money to
Speaker 2: pay for your sweet sixteen? Like?
Speaker 3: Did somehow you get scammed out of your money or
Speaker 3: you are if you're a parent, did you wink wink
Speaker 3: you pay it back eventually to your kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to know.
Speaker 4: I want to know what people are doing with their kids' funds.
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to judge that. I know it's
Speaker 2: for their kid. That's the kid's money. You can't go
Speaker 2: fucking with that.
Speaker 4: Apparently you can. I'm justparently disgusted right now.
Speaker 3: I think I think shar is gonna keep everything over
Speaker 3: a legitimate gift, so two hundred will stay in the bank,
Speaker 3: and everything else you spent over.
Speaker 2: Two hundred dollars is gravy because you're a sucker. Wow,
Speaker 2: sucker another time in this podcast, you're calling me a sucker.
Speaker 3: They probably picked you to be godfather, knowing you'd throw
Speaker 3: money around. Oh don't don't let uncle Steve be the godfather.
Speaker 3: He's poor.
Speaker 2: Let's let's get let's get that happen. Pick god parents.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm guessing they knew you were gonna think,
Speaker 3: like he gives them twenty dollars to people who lie
