Speaker 1: a double espresso that I made here at my house.
Speaker 1: Little sambuca, Okay, you have a large bottle of sambuoka,
Speaker 1: a little bottle sambuka, Well know, a little a sifter
Speaker 1: they call a sifter of sambuca when you order it
Speaker 1: after dessert. You know, they said, let me get a
Speaker 1: sifter of a sambuca. It's a sifter, not a sniffer.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's I don't even know, but uh, yeah you can.
Speaker 1: You can have a little sambuca to night at the
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant you're going to. Oh god, yeah, I'm going
Speaker 1: to that place. Emilio's Blatto, the place that you want
Speaker 1: to And yeah, the name is like Ruth's Chris. So
Speaker 1: it was Bulatos and then Emilio bought it. But because
Speaker 1: it was a famous place, so it's Emilio's really I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Yeah, in case you're wondering about the name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So go ahead. You hooked for once. Hold on, let's
Speaker 1: work this date in history. It's a big deal. David
Speaker 1: Brody hooked me up to get into this restaurant. Rudy
Speaker 1: had the hook on this restaurant and got me in.
Speaker 1: Can you try. Chef Anthony is a big fan of
Speaker 1: the podcast, but he's been asking both of us to
Speaker 1: come eat at his restaurant for years. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people. So I reply back
Speaker 1: to all my d m s, and I hug. I
Speaker 1: became friendly with him and I said, you know what
Speaker 1: we're trying. Then the pandemic hit and that you know,
Speaker 1: restaurants were closed and then so finally I said, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go, and so my wife and I went. I
Speaker 1: may have told you the story. My wife and I
Speaker 1: went about a month ago. That was that was yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the night that we went to a Broadway
Speaker 1: show afterwards, and then went to Carmines after that and
Speaker 1: did a chicken palm comparison and Big Clams was good.
Speaker 1: It's a good night. So you're so you're going tonight
Speaker 1: thanks to my hook up but on Instagram today, which
Speaker 1: means you missed it yesterday. Uh Dwyane Wade and his
Speaker 1: wife were there for dinner. Oh man, I missed him
Speaker 1: by a day. But you know what, you never know
Speaker 1: what the night is gonna bring, because oh, it's definitely
Speaker 1: a celeb place. It's a who's who kind of place,
Speaker 1: but it's not boogie. Let listeners know the slices need
Speaker 1: to understand. This is one of those hole in the
Speaker 1: wall Italian joints that have that are worn in but
Speaker 1: still has that cashe where celebrities might stop by in
Speaker 1: the village. Literally it's on Houston Street. It's literally a
Speaker 1: hole in the wall because there's a hole in the wall.
Speaker 1: The walls in the original walls on the thirties, they're
Speaker 1: exposed concrete and brick. It's got like that that Oh
Speaker 1: my god, this place has been it forever kind of
Speaker 1: vibe but in a good way. But there's only, like
Speaker 1: I want to say, ten tables in the place maybe,
Speaker 1: and so it's not a bougie place, but it's a
Speaker 1: hard place to get into because everyone wants to show
Speaker 1: up there and because they have basic run of the
Speaker 1: mill Italian food. It's not bougie Italian. It's like spaghetti
Speaker 1: and meatballs and like things like that, right, red sauce stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it basic, but I would call it uh,
Speaker 1: I would call it standard Italian stuff. But it's it's
Speaker 1: it's very good. You'll enjoy it. Well, thank you so,
Speaker 1: and I will have another double espresso tonight. Problem. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I've been on this espresso kick because
Speaker 1: I have my my machine here. And no, by the way,
Speaker 1: not a sponsor, not a sponsor. No, it's an espresso.
Speaker 1: It's an espresso machine. And I'm not not not a sponsor.
Speaker 1: But I got a new delivery of coffee, and I
Speaker 1: was excited to try this Puerto Rican blend. It's a
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. It's a Puerto Rican double espresso. Didn't you
Speaker 1: didn't you date a girl who was a Puerto Rican
Speaker 1: blend a few years, many years ago, years ago. She
Speaker 1: was a blend of Cuban, Puerto Rican Dominican that was
Speaker 1: like years and years. Well, let me know if the
Speaker 1: coffee tastes similar. Oh that that was gross. What the hell?
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I put some sambuca in coffin and
Speaker 1: and I liked it. There's this there's this some bucal
Speaker 1: called Molinari. So Molinari comes from Italy. It actually is
Speaker 1: cheaper than the Romana, which is the classic one that
Speaker 1: everybody the one with the colosseum on at the blue
Speaker 1: and silver label. That's the one of the place's car.
Speaker 1: That's like double the price of the Millinari. However, the
Speaker 1: Millinari tastes ten times better than the Romana. Romana has
Speaker 1: a little chemicals and ship. Pardon may, but it does.
Speaker 1: The Mollinari comes from Italy and it's it's a better
Speaker 1: tasting sambuca. So I didn't have my three beans though
Speaker 1: to put in it. You know, he's supposed to put
Speaker 1: three beans in every espresso Martini. They put those in
Speaker 1: the in the espresso Martinez, that's right. They they stand
Speaker 1: for the things like life, health, and I don't know
Speaker 1: there's three look google it, don't tweet us. But anyway,
Speaker 1: they each bean stands for something. And if you if
Speaker 1: you put any less or more beans in, uh, it's
Speaker 1: bad luck. That's what we're saying. Well, you don't. Again,
Speaker 1: you don't have to tweet us because I can google it.
Speaker 1: I just haven't. But my wife and I went out
Speaker 1: to dinner with Two nights ago, my daughter went to
Speaker 1: see Sabrina Coppenter Webster Hall, madhouse of a place, crazy busy,
Speaker 1: with a line around the block to get in, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, like even ticket holders. They lined up early anyway,
Speaker 1: so we were like, oh, let's kill time while she's
Speaker 1: in the concert. We went for dinner on the Lower
Speaker 1: East Side of Manhattan at a place called Fiasha Terria
Speaker 1: f I A s H E T T E r
Speaker 1: I A. Now Alphabet's it's on alphab It's an alphabet
Speaker 1: city on Avenu see. Alphabet City is one of those
Speaker 1: neighborhoods that's not a really good neighborhood, but it's trendy
Speaker 1: but it's not so there's people on the street you're
Speaker 1: afraid of, but then it's really cool bars and restaurants
Speaker 1: and trendy people, very hipster neighborhood. And then also like
Speaker 1: you feel like you're gonna get killed as you go.
Speaker 1: Well actually, actually, you know, the Lower East Side starts
Speaker 1: with Avenue A and then it goes B C D
Speaker 1: like that A B C D east, it goes east.
Speaker 1: So there was a time where you couldn't go past
Speaker 1: Avenue A, like you you wouldn't go east of Avenue
Speaker 1: A to Avenue B because B, C D were like
Speaker 1: the pits. But then they over the years, I guess
Speaker 1: they just got they got gentrified or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it, and they started doing that in the nineties,
Speaker 1: they started adding like you know, because the rent was
Speaker 1: cheap and the real estate was cheap. Actually, the Broadway
Speaker 1: show Rent was based on the Life Cafe, which I
Speaker 1: believe was on Avenue B. So in that areas, it
Speaker 1: was in that area so and and it was like
Speaker 1: everyone was down and out and and and desperate and stuff.
Speaker 1: So rent had a big factor in people moving there
Speaker 1: and making it a trendy hipster sort of. But again
Speaker 1: there's also so what so the restaurant how are we
Speaker 1: on names? And it was on a band street, but
Speaker 1: but it had it's a beautiful restaurant and had lights outside.
Speaker 1: So the lights make it stand out like a beacon
Speaker 1: through the fog of the neighborhood. Yeah, And the reason
Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up is is that we had uh
Speaker 1: It's Italian food, but not red sauce Italian food, So
Speaker 1: we had uh it's like they make their own pasta.
Speaker 1: You know, I know who you like this. There's a
Speaker 1: guy in the corner of the restaurant making fresh pasta.
Speaker 1: Does he bathe it in in a bowl of a
Speaker 1: wheel of cheese? Do you ever see the parmesan regiano wheel,
Speaker 1: the giantass wheel, and they it's carved out in the middle,
Speaker 1: and they throw the pasta in there, and the hot
Speaker 1: pasta is in there, and they're tossing it in the
Speaker 1: fucking cheese. It's literally even. It's like the cheese cheese
Speaker 1: is the bowl, and then and then and then they
Speaker 1: flipped the pasta and then they pour it into your dish.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, no, wait a minute. It tastes
Speaker 1: fantastic if you don't think about what's happening, because everybody's
Speaker 1: food has been in there. Yeah, but it's before it's
Speaker 1: been in there. That a bet there's other flavors in there. Wait,
Speaker 1: and and I don't know how refrigerated that cheese is.
Speaker 1: Every time the hot food hits it, it cooks the
Speaker 1: cheese and then it just sits there in the in
Speaker 1: the in the dining room, not meant to be in
Speaker 1: the refrigerator. Pomeser On reggiano is supposed to be out
Speaker 1: is never in refrigerator. In fact, I know, but but
Speaker 1: once it's cooked by the hot food, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like something's wrong. Now. Anyway, the guy's making
Speaker 1: pasta and it's the menus were like printed out pieces
Speaker 1: of paper um clotheslined like close pin wooden clothes pinned
Speaker 1: to a brown paper bag. So one side of the
Speaker 1: menu was appetizes and one side of the paper bag
Speaker 1: was was close pinned to print it out of the entrees,
Speaker 1: very like low key, right, But the food was fantastic,
Speaker 1: But they come up with the wine list. You know
Speaker 1: what the wine list was. It's a it's a metal
Speaker 1: handled basket with eight bottles of wine. And he goes,
Speaker 1: here's your wine list, And it's actually the bottles with
Speaker 1: prices around the neck of the of each bottle, and
Speaker 1: it says like glass and bottle, that is the wine list.
Speaker 1: He brought the bottles of wine in a basket, but
Speaker 1: he is the wine list. Like it was as low
Speaker 1: key as possible, like rather than print up a wine list,
Speaker 1: whatever bottles they have, they bring over in the beast.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love that. I love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the food was excellent, really good. Now by the way,
Speaker 1: that wasn't my question. What is your question? I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to interrupt you. After that, we realized that the content
Speaker 1: had two more hours, so we went to a local
Speaker 1: bar and the bar was empty when we got there
Speaker 1: because it was like, I don't know, seven o'clock, seven thirty,
Speaker 1: and so we were like the only ones. There was
Speaker 1: two people in the whole bar, and I got my
Speaker 1: wife her usual drink, which is a dirty martini extra
Speaker 1: dirty extra olives with uh whatever the the vodka she
Speaker 1: likes that they have at the time, and the guy
Speaker 1: gave her four olives because she has for extra There
Speaker 1: were so many of these fat olives that they didn't
Speaker 1: fit in the glass. She had to put him in.
Speaker 1: A guy had to put him. But my wife said
Speaker 1: that bought tenders as a rule, only give odd amounts
Speaker 1: of olives, and then it was unusual to get four olives.
Speaker 1: It is unusual. I've only seen one or three. I've
Speaker 1: never seen four or two. So I said, maybe it's
Speaker 1: an extra one for good luck. She's like, that's not
Speaker 1: how it works, or three, it's usually three. So is
Speaker 1: the fourth one the extra one? When she said extra olives, yes,
Speaker 1: then she should then he should have given five then, right,
Speaker 1: or she should have done three. Yeah, you're right, odd
Speaker 1: numbers only or three and then a couple on the side,
Speaker 1: because but then that would be five. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: was it on the toothpick? Four on the toothpick? Was
Speaker 1: it blue cheese olives? I don't know what. No, No,
Speaker 1: they were, they were They didn't have anything in them,
Speaker 1: but one of them had to pick. You know me,
Speaker 1: I'm a vodka soda guy, but I'm a sucker for
Speaker 1: a nice, uh dirty martini when they have blue cheese
Speaker 1: olives available. If that, if I see that, I'm getting
Speaker 1: I'm getting a dirty martini. I want you to get
Speaker 1: to the blue cheese olives. I know you're vodka soda,
Speaker 1: but weren't you like cranberry soda for a while? Cranberry
Speaker 1: vodka dude, that was back in the beginning of my
Speaker 1: drinking days. I as soon as I learned that the
Speaker 1: cranberry is nothing but sugar and it's not really good
Speaker 1: for your urinary tract like that, I said, I'm abandoned
Speaker 1: in the cranberry. I thought it had health benefit. It
Speaker 1: does not. That's what you're doing for your healthy I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have cranberry and yeah, I don't. I figured the
Speaker 1: cranberry juice because you know what, once again, this is
Speaker 1: like it's an old wives tail. People said, oh, have
Speaker 1: cranberry and vodka because the cranberry juice is good for you. Well,
Speaker 1: no it's not. It's fucking sugar and it's like seventy sugar.
Speaker 1: But the time did a woman tell you that? Because
Speaker 1: you know, cranberry juice and pineapple juice allegedly, um, it
Speaker 1: makes it makes a sweet, sweet sweet semen, thank you,
Speaker 1: Jack Harlow, Oh oh, oh, don't say that. I quoting
Speaker 1: a hip hop a lyric from first class Jack Harlo
Speaker 1: first version that's said, the version I hear on the radio. Well,
Speaker 1: because they block it out, I'm gonna try to block out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to block that out as well. Up
Speaker 1: in the sky. Hey, So when we come back, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you about the balls on these people. And
Speaker 1: they're from Brooklyn, of course, the balls on these people,
Speaker 1: all right, on these people on these people. Okay, I'm waiting.
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed to be associated with them. Oh is he
Speaker 1: your family members? Before the break talking about the people
Speaker 1: that I don't want to be associated I was gonna
Speaker 1: go back because it's it's my people, your people, our people,
Speaker 1: people from off the people. I made this on the people,
Speaker 1: now people from So all right, I'm not gonna give names,
Speaker 1: but I may know they're women, and I may give occupations.
Speaker 1: You love Maria and Rosalie. Probably I don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: you know this sucks, but you know we've talked about
Speaker 1: this place on our podcast before. You know, the Butcher's Block,
Speaker 1: New Jersey down in there, the place you go to
Speaker 1: for steak and never invite me that place yet. Um
Speaker 1: five knives, they're down a long branch. Okay, yes, the
Speaker 1: steak knives. We've talked about the stake knives. Yeah, five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, did we? And we've talked about we've talked
Speaker 1: about the stolen steake knives before. That's why I keep
Speaker 1: saying five hundred dollars, Right. Did we talk about the
Speaker 1: two women specifically that were caught on camera with the
Speaker 1: steake knives that they Yeah, it was in during the summer,
Speaker 1: So just a quick recap. This place has really expensive.
Speaker 1: They're two steak knives and and and they look like
Speaker 1: butcher's mallet. Um not a mallet. What do you call
Speaker 1: that thing that clevers cleavers. They look like they look
Speaker 1: like a little mini cleavers, and you cut your steak
Speaker 1: with them anyway. They cost about two fifty dollars to make, allegedly,
Speaker 1: that's what they're I'm told, and that if you if
Speaker 1: you get caught stealing them, or if you don't return them,
Speaker 1: if if there's six people at the table and only
Speaker 1: five come back, they will charge you on the bill
Speaker 1: five to dollars and it will say stolen state knife.
Speaker 1: Because they have the balls to do that. Now they
Speaker 1: try and get the knife back. They do everything they
Speaker 1: can because they don't want to charge you, and they
Speaker 1: don't want they want just want their money their knife back. Well,
Speaker 1: every once in a while people get away with the
Speaker 1: knife and the waiter or bus boy never sees it,
Speaker 1: so they find the surveillance camera and the surveillance tape
Speaker 1: and they embarrass people on their Instagram the block en J.
Speaker 1: You gotta follow them um at the block ENJ. So
Speaker 1: you go there and and and every once in a
Speaker 1: while they'll put up litteral surveillance tape showing idiots on camera,
Speaker 1: probably half drunk, like shoving knives in their purses on
Speaker 1: this one occasion, they posted the video of the surveillance.
Speaker 1: One woman had fire engine red hair. All right, you're
Speaker 1: gonna steal a state knight when you fire and fire
Speaker 1: and and her friend, the two of them, and I
Speaker 1: heard at the woman the other woman has like a
Speaker 1: high profile job for the city. I won't go beyond that.
Speaker 1: So what ended up happening is the block says we.
Speaker 1: We tried to get the steake knives back. We saw them.
Speaker 1: They left without without the stake knives. Our our bad.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they left without us finding out. Then our bad.
Speaker 1: We didn't realize that they did. And then we found
Speaker 1: the surveillance, and then we called the woman, because keep
Speaker 1: in mind, every table is attached to a reservation with
Speaker 1: a phone numbers. Oopsies, they called the woman's number. She's like,
Speaker 1: you stole our steake knives. We just want a knife back.
Speaker 1: Click hung up on her. They keep calling, click, They
Speaker 1: start the woman's blocks their number of the block. Do
Speaker 1: they think the block doesn't go quietly? Brodie? So these
Speaker 1: went so so they put the surveillance tape on on
Speaker 1: Instagram and within minutes dozens of people are identifying. I
Speaker 1: think they took it down by now, by the way,
Speaker 1: because they eventually got their knives that, um, they embarrassed
Speaker 1: these women and and and people were like, this is
Speaker 1: so and so, this is her name, this is what
Speaker 1: she does for a living. I found her. I know
Speaker 1: who that is. Oh my god, they're friends with my
Speaker 1: friends from Staten Island. I mean, you don't realize how
Speaker 1: much of a small world this is until you steal
Speaker 1: stay and they blow up, and they blow you up
Speaker 1: on on social media. So so they got embarrassed. And
Speaker 1: keep in mind, do you think they really got embarrassed.
Speaker 1: This doesn't sound like the kind of woman who gives
Speaker 1: a ship the block. Yes, they had to have because
Speaker 1: the block that they blocked, the block's phone number, and
Speaker 1: and then and then they blocked the block, they moved
Speaker 1: the block block, they blocked the block on the phone,
Speaker 1: so they put them. After the surveillance went up, they
Speaker 1: you know, they people started giving them hot tips on
Speaker 1: who these people were. They had the woman's name, and
Speaker 1: then they googled her. They found they started putting up
Speaker 1: their their social media profiles and stuff, and it became
Speaker 1: like thousands and thousands and thousands of views on social media.
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell me this as it was happening.
Speaker 1: Needless to say, these why didn't I tell you? I
Speaker 1: mean this was I mean month, this was like a
Speaker 1: month ago in August, and the morning I should tell
Speaker 1: the podcast time I was going to, I was going
Speaker 1: to we were off for a few weeks. It's happening
Speaker 1: during the time we were off, so so so they finally,
Speaker 1: I guess it's enough. People called the two thieves and
Speaker 1: they said to them, Um, you're all over their social media.
Speaker 1: Why don't you give the knives back? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: embarrassing to get caught. They're showing video if you're putting
Speaker 1: it in your fucking purse, and then you just leave
Speaker 1: and then you do you ignore everybody and you ghost them. No, no, Well,
Speaker 1: needless to say, eventually they got there to stay knives back.
Speaker 1: I spoke to the people at the block. I said, dude,
Speaker 1: what happened with that? And they were telling me, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got our knives back. But fast forward two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: I was in Brooklyn at my friend's restaurant, Brooklyn Roots,
Speaker 1: remember another Italian restaurant, Brodie yea yea, And I was
Speaker 1: in there for this the the the what was it,
Speaker 1: the sunrise of the sunset of sunset of Sidi Siste.
Speaker 1: It was a Sicilian dinner. I walk in, sit down,
Speaker 1: I see these two women that look so familiar to me.
Speaker 1: It was the woman with the fire engine red hair.
Speaker 1: And yes, they were having been about four tables away
Speaker 1: from me. And I'm telling my friends, those are the
Speaker 1: fucking knife steelers. But isn't it amazing how I remembered
Speaker 1: them from social media because of the video that they
Speaker 1: posted on I mean, talk about embarrassing. I wanted to
Speaker 1: warn my buddy, Hey, do just just watch table six
Speaker 1: just gonna take your Sta state knives. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: did you go over and say hello. I was going
Speaker 1: to and I was gonna make a funny joke, you know,
Speaker 1: because you know whatever, n knife to knife to me,
Speaker 1: knife to me. But isn't that hilarious? Though? You know,
Speaker 1: you think you uh, you know, you catch these people.
Speaker 1: They were caught red handed. Is that even a thing anymore?
Speaker 1: Red handed? I don't know. Uh? And and then and
Speaker 1: then they finally give the knives back, but now they
Speaker 1: have a lifetime of embarrassment ahead of them. It's it's
Speaker 1: price you pay, It's the consequences. Because the block fought
Speaker 1: back and put the surveillance tape up on their social
Speaker 1: I don't know. I find it really hilarious, but um
Speaker 1: sad at the same time. I mean because we all
Speaker 1: know people who have stolen from restaurants, right, like salt
Speaker 1: shakers and ship Oh sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely, we do
Speaker 1: know people like that. But you know, I don't do it. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, but we It's just it gives you it
Speaker 1: lets you think about it twice now because this so
Speaker 1: this video cameras everywhere. Why would you want to do
Speaker 1: anything so foolish, right, especially when it when it's such
Speaker 1: a high profile thing. Yeah, right, Like if you're an
Speaker 1: outback steakhouse and you steal a knife, they're not gonna
Speaker 1: go after you. But it's not And I have to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. What do you want the knife for?
Speaker 1: What do you want to uh butcher blow? I will say,
Speaker 1: they're really cute and when you're when you're drunk, you
Speaker 1: may want to steal ane. I warned my so um,
Speaker 1: I warned my friends who went there. I said, whatever
Speaker 1: you do, don't steal the knives. I know they're cute
Speaker 1: and I know they'll make great little souvenirs. There's nothing
Speaker 1: like them. They're very unique. They're one of a kind
Speaker 1: these nights that you can't find them anywhere, so people may,
Speaker 1: you know, get a little hammered and take the ship.
Speaker 1: But anyway, these two women are from the neighborhood Brodie.
Speaker 1: So that's our constituent, and that's the kind of neighborhood
Speaker 1: we come from. That's where we're from. If there ever
Speaker 1: was a lesson to be had, it's don't trust trust
Speaker 1: where we're from. My wife is a big fan of
Speaker 1: TikTok restaurants, so she follows a lot of food ease,
Speaker 1: and so if she sees a well presented restaurant on
Speaker 1: TikTok that she wants to go to, she'll send it
Speaker 1: to me. Right she's challenging me to eat at food
Speaker 1: for your places with fancier food. So she sent me
Speaker 1: a place. The food looks a little foofy. It's Italian,
Speaker 1: but it looks delicious, and I have a feeling you
Speaker 1: may have been there, but it doesn't look like it
Speaker 1: belongs in the neighborhood it's in. It's a place in
Speaker 1: Brooklyn called Fausta. Have you been have? Okay, tell me
Speaker 1: tell me about real quick, tell me about it is
Speaker 1: it too fancy for Brooklyn. Where's it's a Brooklyn hipster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks FONSI. I didn't see anything with red sauce.
Speaker 1: I've been there, Yes, I've been there with with Robin
Speaker 1: and let me say sure, this is the one floppersh Avenue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one. Been there, excellent, excellent restaurant. But it's
Speaker 1: so not you I'm looking at. There's like an egg
Speaker 1: in the middle of a pasta dish. Although I do
Speaker 1: see tag LEI a towel with meat on it like
Speaker 1: it's it's I'll say this, it's um, it's very it's
Speaker 1: uh Italian food in a three piece suit. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: TikTok video. Now it's all dressed down, it's hot, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's awesome. It's great food. It's excellent.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You don't leave with indigestion. I
Speaker 1: mean no offense to what I'm gonna eat tonight. But
Speaker 1: you know you eat that crazy. This is NonStop red
Speaker 1: sauce and stuff. You know, all of a sudden you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I ain't too much. I rolled me
Speaker 1: out of here. I'm gonna food comb I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a food baby. Yeah, well though, that's but you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get that there. You're gonna get just the right amount.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so good, you're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: sleep at night. You're you're not gonna have a or
Speaker 1: you're not gonna need the Brioski. You know what, boz.
Speaker 1: It says alka Seltzer, alka Seltzer, and it's the blue
Speaker 1: bottle with the white and red label of and it
Speaker 1: says Briowsky on it. And they look like crunchy cheese,
Speaker 1: white crunchy cheese doodles. That the best way I can
Speaker 1: put it. And you put it into your your your
Speaker 1: seltzer or your your your water and it just fizzes up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I had a Sicilian neighbor. So my my neighbor
Speaker 1: was living with a guy who was much older than
Speaker 1: she was. So let's say she was in her forties.
Speaker 1: He was in his sixties. Old world Sicilian. One of
Speaker 1: the best cooks I've ever met in my life. And
Speaker 1: he talking like talking like this, I look like that.
Speaker 1: So whenever I was sick as a kid, my parents
Speaker 1: would give me l alka seltzer, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I hate I hate Seltzer. I hated Alka Seltzer. That
Speaker 1: maybe why I hate Seltzer. But he knows like Brunsky,
Speaker 1: what is it a Bosky Briowsky? Yeah, not ak Proby.
Speaker 1: It sounds like something you find on porn hub. That's
Speaker 1: a pumpkin. Oh yeah, so but he would I guess
Speaker 1: that was the Italian. What the Tians did was that
Speaker 1: the brio sky whatever and and uh and the Jews
Speaker 1: we had Alca Seltzer b r I O s c H.
Speaker 1: I look at it and I'll tell you what. They
Speaker 1: still they haven't changed the the image, the packaging. One
Speaker 1: Iota Briosky lemon flavored effervescent. I can get it on
Speaker 1: Yummy Bazar right now for seven and it's it's the
Speaker 1: big botastic Hey that um that Italian restaurant in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Did they have mac and cheese? Which one the wells Again,
Speaker 1: it's so fancy. They switched up the menu all the time.
Speaker 1: It's seasonal and then they do you know, they do
Speaker 1: like specials and things. All right, they probably don't have
Speaker 1: mac and cheese, but they don't. I'm I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with no, you know what, mac and cheese is right.
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know what it is. I want I
Speaker 1: want to I want to shout out bell m B seventeen,
Speaker 1: b e l l m B seventeen who tagged me
Speaker 1: in a post. There's a woman on Twitter. Now, uh, this,
Speaker 1: this speculation is to uh uh. People were believing this,
Speaker 1: and I just want to say, it's another one of
Speaker 1: those false acronyms. So she tweeted, you don't need to
Speaker 1: call it mac and cheese. Mac is already an acronym
Speaker 1: for mac and cheese. You might as well say a
Speaker 1: T M machine. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: Mac is not short for mac and cheese. Not mac
Speaker 1: is short for macaroni. It's macaroni and cheese shortened to
Speaker 1: mac and cheese. Yes, yes, and then I and then uh.
Speaker 1: But I also noticed how many people were like I
Speaker 1: was today. I swear to god, scared, mind blown. I
Speaker 1: had no idea. And then people are saying, I say
Speaker 1: TM machion all time, what's the problem? No, I needed
Speaker 1: to that from the ground. But the mac and cheese
Speaker 1: was another one. Yeah, it's the scary. Have you ever
Speaker 1: thought something was dead and it wasn't like a relationship. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I'll tell you, like you haven't see something in
Speaker 1: the street though it was dead, then it moved, oh
Speaker 1: like a creature, like an insect or something or a rotus. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like that. So my pool is still open. Today is
Speaker 1: October seven. I have a heated pool, and it was
Speaker 1: supposed to close on Monday, so a few days ago,
Speaker 1: and it rained and then so the pool company didn't come,
Speaker 1: and so it's still open. So I figured, if it's
Speaker 1: gonna stay open, I'll keep it clean. Because usually when
Speaker 1: I know the guys coming, I take the vacuum out,
Speaker 1: I turned the heat off, I turned the pump off,
Speaker 1: and I let it sit. And then he shows. I
Speaker 1: don't care to point, well, he didn't come. So now
Speaker 1: I have leaves in my pool, and because the leaves
Speaker 1: are falling, so I go out to the pool and
Speaker 1: I'm cleaning out the leaves with the long handled netting,
Speaker 1: and I would tell you scary every summer or every season.
Speaker 1: I finally I find one to three dead chipmunks in
Speaker 1: the little filter basket that you lift out to get
Speaker 1: the leaves out on each side of the pool. And
Speaker 1: they're dead and they're they're like, um, they're stiff, like
Speaker 1: uh rigor mortis is set in. So what I have
Speaker 1: to do is I have to get gloves and take
Speaker 1: the basket out. Then I dump it onto like a
Speaker 1: handheld skimmer and I and I fling it like a
Speaker 1: look like a highlight player. This is the side, the
Speaker 1: dark side of the Yeah. Yeah, And by the way,
Speaker 1: I would still rather have the chipmunks in my pool,
Speaker 1: Dad than you anyway. So I'm cleaning out the leaves
Speaker 1: and I see in the corner of my pool, not
Speaker 1: in the filter basket. In the corner of my pool
Speaker 1: is a floating what I believe to be dead chipmunk,
Speaker 1: little dead chipmunk, And I go, oh, I should have
Speaker 1: closed the pool yesterday and this guy would be alive.
Speaker 1: I feel terrible. So I get a couple of more
Speaker 1: leaves out. I don't rush over to him immediately, and
Speaker 1: then I stick the hand skimmer in the pool to
Speaker 1: lift it out and fling in the forest. Sure, well,
Speaker 1: when I put it in the water, he reacts to
Speaker 1: it or she, I don't know how he identifies and
Speaker 1: and and the little chipmunk starts doing the dog paddle,
Speaker 1: which I guess is the chipmunk paddle as well. And
Speaker 1: he's like trying to get out of the pool. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, he might just go do it the backstroke,
Speaker 1: going for a swim, and then you just came in
Speaker 1: there with the shocker. No, I think he was like
Speaker 1: I think he was floating, but like out of breath.
Speaker 1: Like for the split second I was there, he wasn't. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe he was playing dead, like, oh, just gotta cheese it.
Speaker 1: The guys coming with the net look out. So he
Speaker 1: stopped moving. So I go under and scoop him to
Speaker 1: try to like put him on the deck of the pool.
Speaker 1: So when I do the scoop, he starts running up
Speaker 1: the thing towards my arm. Oh my god. So what
Speaker 1: do I do? What would you do at that point?
Speaker 1: I would drop the net. I'd get it. I get
Speaker 1: the funk out of that, and I throw my hands
Speaker 1: up or something. I don't know. So I have I
Speaker 1: have a handheld skimmer, which which it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: the end of the stick, but I'm holding the part
Speaker 1: that goes into the handle. So it's really like a
Speaker 1: foot long maybe, and it's like a you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's like a tennis racket basically with no handle. And
Speaker 1: so I I don't drop it, because my arm is
Speaker 1: over the pool and if I drop it, he's going
Speaker 1: back in the water. So I go, I push it
Speaker 1: forward to make it past the edge of the pool
Speaker 1: onto the concrete the tiling around me. So he goes
Speaker 1: flying and lands on his feet and it doesn't move.
Speaker 1: I assumed he was going to run off. So he
Speaker 1: stops like, oh my god, I broke his legs. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it broke his legs, or I killed him.
Speaker 1: He's now not moving on the deck of my pool,
Speaker 1: which means number one, I gotta pick him up. Number two,
Speaker 1: I saved him from drowning and killed him on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: Well again, scary. Now what would you do. He's laying there,
Speaker 1: he's soaking wet. Or she to it and stamp next
Speaker 1: to it, like stamp my feet loud, make a loud
Speaker 1: noise if it runs away, and you wouldn't be afraid
Speaker 1: it would run up your leg. Now at that point, now, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm much bigger than it. I leave it and I go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's in the deep end of my pool,
Speaker 1: on off to the side, you know, out on the deck,
Speaker 1: and oh my god, I feel terrible. Now what do
Speaker 1: I do. I'm like, if he has a broken leg,
Speaker 1: to take him to a vet, Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. He's not moving, So I go about
Speaker 1: doing the rest of the pool, getting the leaves out,
Speaker 1: and I see him. He stands up slowly like a
Speaker 1: fighter who got punched out, and he he shakes off
Speaker 1: like a dog, wet dog, and he scampers off. He
Speaker 1: must have been like knocked cold by the flight I had.
Speaker 1: I had a non flying score, all flying, and I
Speaker 1: must have knocked him out because out of my hat rocky, yeah, gee, rocky.
Speaker 1: So yeah, watch me pull a squirrel out of my pool?
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Uh, chipmunk? Yeah, compression on my part. I know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was great. Um, what is your dog howling at?
Speaker 1: Is there another chipmunk in your pool? What's going on
Speaker 1: over there? You know what? My other two dogs have
Speaker 1: been groom today, so he's alone. Uh and so that's
Speaker 1: Percy Percy. See the Bijan's actually get groomed every Percy.
Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah, we're doing a podcast over here. What's
Speaker 1: going on? I'd love to know. Oh, I don't mute
Speaker 1: the microphone. No, I'm not gonna yell in the mic.
Speaker 1: We yell away from the mic. What's your dog yelling at?
Speaker 1: Who's here? Per se? Yeah, come here, get a cookie.
Speaker 1: He can't come because I have the gate up on
Speaker 1: the Okay, he's barking at somebody. Maybe you have an
Speaker 1: intruder or something. No, it sounds different when he balks
Speaker 1: on this intruder like a dog pirate. Well, um are you? Um?
Speaker 1: So what else is going on here? I have? I
Speaker 1: have a bit of a rant. Actually, And people heard
Speaker 1: this who listened to the Elvis the Rant Show this
Speaker 1: morning heard this rant this morning. Elvis, let me go
Speaker 1: off for a good minute on the show because this
Speaker 1: is just unacceptable and this is just needs to be
Speaker 1: this people need to learn for life and not to
Speaker 1: take ship. Because I did not hear it because it
Speaker 1: was earlier than when I got up. So this is
Speaker 1: new to me. This new It will be new to
Speaker 1: you and to a lot of people that don't listen
Speaker 1: to the show or don't listen live. Okay, though I
Speaker 1: was on the show today, Yes you were, so, I
Speaker 1: called in as we go to break, why don't you
Speaker 1: explain where you're gonna be if people hear this podcast
Speaker 1: in the next twenty four hours, Well, why don't I
Speaker 1: tell you after the commercial, because it's a whole long
Speaker 1: to do? Is it to do? Or is it much

Speaker 1: It's much to do about something? How about that? How
Speaker 1: about that road? Now? Um, okay, I'm not as wound
Speaker 1: up as I was earlier this morning. I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and be calm about this, but I'm no calm about
Speaker 1: a ranch. All right, this is all right. Listen. You've
Speaker 1: heard me talk about the perfect omelet on this podcast before. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're you're finishing your omelets. First of all, you
Speaker 1: don't eat the bulk eggs at the buffet, you know, right,
Speaker 1: I hate bulk eggs. I want the omelett guy making
Speaker 1: omelets live because it's fresh. Now, I'm supposed to prerecord it,
Speaker 1: not when they make it live, as opposed to write.
Speaker 1: We'll do it live, and they do it in front
Speaker 1: of your face. You know what I'm saying. That's what
Speaker 1: I like. I don't like. You don't like. I don't
Speaker 1: like scrambled eggs in a shafing dish pan that are
Speaker 1: like like half coagulated, half watery and quagulated quagulated. I
Speaker 1: you put out that word coagulated, coagulated. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I want my egg cord like cardboard, so so and
Speaker 1: and and this goes for anyone who has had a
Speaker 1: breakfast sandwich, and and it's like, fuck, man, this sucks.
Speaker 1: You're a breakfast place. You do this for a living,
Speaker 1: You do this over and over and over thousands of
Speaker 1: times a week. You should know how to make eggs
Speaker 1: for people, right, It's very simple task. And furthermore, people
Speaker 1: should get a decent egg sandwich or egg product because again,
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the day, you're setting the table,
Speaker 1: you're setting your tone for your morning. You've got to
Speaker 1: have something. But how do you funk up eggs? Well?
Speaker 1: I got an omelet this morning from the place that
Speaker 1: I always said that I will never fucking order from
Speaker 1: because they fucked me over ten times. And then today
Speaker 1: Andrew from The Big Show comes in and says, we're
Speaker 1: ordering from that place against Gary. I always say no,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they always sucked me over, and then
Speaker 1: today I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna give them
Speaker 1: an eleventh chance. The omelet shows up. It's fucking brown.
Speaker 1: Is the day is long, fucking brown, crusty, fucking omelet.
Speaker 1: Brown eggs has nothing to do with brown eggs. I
Speaker 1: don't care brown and white eggs. Does that mean I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the final product. That means they threw no
Speaker 1: not enough butter on the grill, or they threw pam
Speaker 1: on there, or they let the butter burn, because the
Speaker 1: butter burning butter, and then you throw the egg on
Speaker 1: top of burning butter, it will fucking turn the whole
Speaker 1: thing brown. It will suck you over. Burning butter is brown.
Speaker 1: It was the bitter brown, fucking burned eggs. So I was,
Speaker 1: is that like the crappy crepe? So in the crappy crepe?
Speaker 1: So I started pitching on air. I was screaming. I
Speaker 1: was like, I never saw you get so angry, like
Speaker 1: he was laughing his ass off, because I would personally had.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, it totally totally fucked up
Speaker 1: my morning because all I wanted was just an omelet
Speaker 1: it and they should be light and fluffy. You cook
Speaker 1: him slow and low. If you cook slow and lowe
Speaker 1: I said that on the air, nobody got it. And
Speaker 1: if you cook him slow and low, you will always
Speaker 1: get the perfect egg and perfect omelet, the perfect scramble whatever,
Speaker 1: slow and low. Yes, you're supposed to have butter in there,
Speaker 1: or margarine or whatever the funk you put in there,
Speaker 1: olive wi who cares, grease chrisc It doesn't matter if this.
Speaker 1: If that ship is burned and it's too hot, it
Speaker 1: will fucking burn the egg immediately. So it tasted like
Speaker 1: it had the consistency of like a fucking like a sponge.
Speaker 1: It was like a spongy, disgusting mess. And I let
Speaker 1: let them hear it. I fucking let them have it.
Speaker 1: And I didn't mention the place on the air again.
Speaker 1: You know, businesses are struggling everywhere. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go off on them, but man, oh man, why the
Speaker 1: fuck can't you make an egg? If that is what
Speaker 1: you do, you are a breakfast place. There's no excuse,
Speaker 1: no excuse. There's a and and and there's a right
Speaker 1: and a wrong way to do eggs. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean to be a bit about it because people are
Speaker 1: sitting there right now say it's scary. You're such a
Speaker 1: bougee asshole. But you know what, you shouldn't sub You
Speaker 1: should not stand for subpar breakfast food either. When it
Speaker 1: comes to eggs, and by the way, it was not
Speaker 1: just the eggs. The bacon was as greasy as fuck.
Speaker 1: And then the the toast was like it was it
Speaker 1: wasn't even toasted. It was like a flimsy piece of
Speaker 1: half toasted bread. It was the suckiest piece of And
Speaker 1: the hash I don't even I didn't even talk about
Speaker 1: the fucking hash browns. The hash brown was mush mush
Speaker 1: and a plate. I'm like, what the funk is this?
Speaker 1: If I consume this entire meal, I'm gonna go home.
Speaker 1: I'm needing somebosky. I need something. It was the most
Speaker 1: disgusting thing. I'm like, how the fund do they serve this?
Speaker 1: And andally that it costs a lot of money. You're
Speaker 1: paying a lot of money for these, for these breakfasts,
Speaker 1: so it just gets your day off on the wrong way,
Speaker 1: and you people should, but people settle for the subpar breakfast.
Speaker 1: If more people complained, it's that don't. These eggs are
Speaker 1: fucking brown and fucking burned. Take them back then people
Speaker 1: will do better. So what they say, what they say.
Speaker 1: When you called and complained, I knew you're gonna get
Speaker 1: me on this because you just you just said, what
Speaker 1: I do you just said, if people complain, they'll get better.
Speaker 1: I threw it in the garbage pail and I and
Speaker 1: I fucking cursed them out and walked off. That was Wow,
Speaker 1: you are a failure in my eyes. Sir. Well, we
Speaker 1: were doing a radio show. We were doing the morning show.
Speaker 1: I couldn't like stop and go in the back room.
Speaker 1: You know, we had stuff to do on the radio.
Speaker 1: I could have just it, just the the show takes
Speaker 1: ten minute breaks to go to commercials and songs and everything.
Speaker 1: You could have called. You could have had somebody call
Speaker 1: and then when they were on the phone, run no,
Speaker 1: let them get away with it. Now, tom, are they
Speaker 1: gonna sunk up somebody's eggs? But the thing is this
Speaker 1: more people need to not complain, but get in there
Speaker 1: and be like, no, this is wrong. Do over over
Speaker 1: and then you and then you did at some point
Speaker 1: the place. But the thing is nobody's done that. The
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of customers. You just can't do it.
Speaker 1: What if they what if they nine complaints and they
Speaker 1: were waiting for one more complaint to fix the problem
Speaker 1: and get a new egg guy, and you didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get fired either. I just want someone
Speaker 1: to like teach these people how to make a basic thing.
Speaker 1: How are they going to know if you don't tell them.
Speaker 1: You can't say I want someone to complain. My point
Speaker 1: is people every day are suffering and just sitting there
Speaker 1: eating a breakfast that's like half like like I say, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is whatever. It's it's it's it's barely passable, but
Speaker 1: it's edible, so I'm just gonna eat it. It sucks.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to say that at the end of
Speaker 1: your your breakfast sandwich. It should be fucking like boom,
Speaker 1: that was so good, and it puts you in a
Speaker 1: it catapults you to a better mood. Like because there's
Speaker 1: one place we go to. I always it always has
Speaker 1: the opposite effect. I always feel like, Wow, I'm having
Speaker 1: the best day ever. And I realized it because the
Speaker 1: breakfast was quality. Those were great, perfectly scrambled eggs. They
Speaker 1: were light and fluffy. The avocado it was nice and
Speaker 1: been sliced. They had a nice fresh croissant, a croissant
Speaker 1: that for breakfast today. Yeah, that's why you didn't complain.
Speaker 1: That's why you didn't call them, because it wasn't your money,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't your money, because if because if I
Speaker 1: was there and he bought the breakfast, I still would
Speaker 1: have said something on principle, why should he Why should
Speaker 1: he pay for breakfast? And then he gets shipped product
Speaker 1: for his employees, for his co workers. You should have
Speaker 1: said something. But I'll tell you what. I went to
Speaker 1: dinner over the weekend last weekend, and I didn't complain
Speaker 1: about something. You would have been proud of me. Let
Speaker 1: me tell how is this possible? Well, this is happening.
Speaker 1: This is happening. This is like the third time this
Speaker 1: has happened now in a month. We went to a
Speaker 1: restaurant that I'm not gonna say the name, but it
Speaker 1: sounds like Reasons, David Brodie's hologram. I'm talking to you
Speaker 1: right now. No, No, the restaurant. It sounds like Reasons,
Speaker 1: but that's not the name of it. If you have dyslexia,
Speaker 1: maybe Okay, So I ordered my wife ordered, uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, tuna, a salad with like tuna tartar, like steak,
Speaker 1: tuna filets around it, whatever. And I had the pork
Speaker 1: chop on the bed of yukon mashed gold potatoes. Okay,
Speaker 1: meat and potatoes. That's me, you know, that's my plate
Speaker 1: and the So when we got there, the first thing
Speaker 1: we ordered was a flatbread pizza. So we said, oh
Speaker 1: what what flatbread pizzas? We can't decide which one we
Speaker 1: should get. So the girl says, hey, um uh, I
Speaker 1: would recommend the pesto pepper one. Um. But um there's
Speaker 1: one that's not on the menu. It's a Philly cheese
Speaker 1: steak flatbread. It's not on the menu, but it's really
Speaker 1: really good. I said, well, why is it on the menu. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a special, but it's like limited time and it's
Speaker 1: not on the menu. I said, we'll have that because
Speaker 1: we couldn't decide. We're like, oh yeah, my wife and
Speaker 1: I love Philly Cheestead. We'll have that. So she comes back, she's, ah,
Speaker 1: we're out of the seas what what SHOs we just
Speaker 1: sold the last one. I go, no, you didn't. How's
Speaker 1: that possible, doesn't I understand you. You order the hallebit
Speaker 1: or the snapper, and then they're fresh fish to come
Speaker 1: in and that's the last piece of the night, and
Speaker 1: seeing we're done, but how do you run out of steak?
Speaker 1: They must have been out of the right they must
Speaker 1: have been out of steak comes all right, So we
Speaker 1: ordered the flatbread. Okay, we ordered the flatbread and was
Speaker 1: sitting there for like fifteen twenty minutes. There's no flatbread
Speaker 1: coming the way. It just comes back and she sees
Speaker 1: that we have our drinks and she says, oh, how
Speaker 1: is the flatbread? So I said, I wouldn't know. It
Speaker 1: never came. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I told
Speaker 1: him the old I told him so. Then, so then
Speaker 1: like two minutes later, he comes out with the flatbread
Speaker 1: and he brings it to us, and it was fine.
Speaker 1: And then our food comes out, my wife's salad comes out,
Speaker 1: and my pork chop comes out, and my pork chop
Speaker 1: has the diamond grill marks, but an inch around the
Speaker 1: edge of the pork chop, a semi circle c of
Speaker 1: my pork chop is charred, black, burnt semi circle well
Speaker 1: like like a crescent, like a crescent of of an
Speaker 1: inch around like try and brand it. And they trying
Speaker 1: to tell you something. No, I think the flame was
Speaker 1: shooting up and it burned the edge of my pork chop.
Speaker 1: So I said, well, you know what, maybe it's just
Speaker 1: the the sauce. Maybe that got blackened. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, so I take a little piece off and
Speaker 1: it's it's like it's like two a piece of charcoal.
Speaker 1: It's so, I said. My wife says, you go ahead,
Speaker 1: you send it back. So the waitress comes over and
Speaker 1: I say, listen, this is burnchers. Oh I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I'll get you on the okay. It sounds like right there,

Speaker 1: So uh the uh the manager comes over. Uh. So
Speaker 1: they bring me a new pork chop and it's fine,
Speaker 1: it's not burnt. Now my wife is you know, this
Speaker 1: is the typical thing. She's half done with her salad.
Speaker 1: Now I have to race to catch up to heart. Right.
Speaker 1: The manager comes over and she says, oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Is the second pork chop better? I heard what happened
Speaker 1: to the first one? Yes, it's fine. You know, it's okay.
Speaker 1: So we're also a little disappointed about the like she
Speaker 1: steak flap bread we were told we could order and
Speaker 1: we're out of it. She's you have it's very popular.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that, but I'm sorry about your pork chop.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that the second one is good. Just
Speaker 1: have a nice night and she walks away. That's it's
Speaker 1: kind of shittydn't say anything, you know, all for anything whatever.
Speaker 1: That's what that's my typical free dessert story. When I
Speaker 1: was a manager. We burnt your steak. You're the other
Speaker 1: people at table are eating, You're waiting for your food
Speaker 1: to be redone all for your free dessert. So I'm like,

Speaker 1: meal and she says, would you like to see the
Speaker 1: desserts the dessert menu? Sure, So she comes over and
Speaker 1: she's got like a spiral staircase, a little glass cups

Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm gonna say thing. We're off for
Speaker 1: not I'm dressed up nicely for because it's an upscale place, right,
Speaker 1: it's it's right now. It's near Capital Grill. We always
Speaker 1: go to Capital Grill. It's a fancy shmancy place. Right.
Speaker 1: It's not like Boogie Boogie, but it's upscale. Right. It's

Speaker 1: it's a cut above A. Again, it sounds like Reasons.
Speaker 1: So we got home. We go home. That was Saturday night. Monday,
Speaker 1: my wife texts me and says, call me now. I said,
Speaker 1: what's going on? She said, well, I got an email survey.
Speaker 1: How is my experience at Reasons? So I wrote back
Speaker 1: what happened? The food was good, but and was disappointed
Speaker 1: that the manager didn't do anything. That's it. She said,
Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna complain, but they asked her her opinion.
Speaker 1: They sent her a questionnaire. A woman from customer service
Speaker 1: calls them, I'm sorry. The general manager of the of
Speaker 1: the restaurant calls my wife an hour later and says,
Speaker 1: we just got your survey. I'm terribly sorry. We will
Speaker 1: be sending you a fifty dollar gift card. So we
Speaker 1: we didn't, right, but they gave it to you anyway.
Speaker 1: So my wife got free desert because she filled out
Speaker 1: to serve all. You're a couple, you're a couple, and
Speaker 1: you're a couple of somethings. Yeah, but my point is
Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna say anything. I wasn't gonna say anything.
Speaker 1: We were disappointed, but we weren't gonna say anything. They
Speaker 1: sent up the questionnaire, they got what they asked for,
Speaker 1: and I got fifty bucks towards more than free dessert.
Speaker 1: So there you go. So I didn't complain. I still
Speaker 1: got free dessert. Bertie. I'm very very proud of you.
Speaker 1: See the free dessert came. It was does free dessert
Speaker 1: karma Karmakara. The karma came, see yeah, alright, was covered
Speaker 1: in caramel to not really not that. At some point. Now,
Speaker 1: the next time we come back from commercial scary, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you what I'm doing a comic con and
Speaker 1: what I'm releasing today and what I have on sale.
Speaker 1: But before that, we are going to take a commercial,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have somebody on the phone coming up next.
Speaker 1: Because we're not a sports podcast. On my story, we
Speaker 1: have to talk. We have to talk to somebody talk
Speaker 1: about that. Also, I'm infuriated with this person for everyone's
Speaker 1: everyone how they at land A Braves. Everyone's entitled to

Speaker 1: text you again. He has to. He has to text
Speaker 1: me that he's not gonna text me anymore. That's great.
Speaker 1: Tea in a nutshell. Now I'm gonna get upset about
Speaker 1: Danielle because I know how Danielle is. Well, Danielle, by
Speaker 1: the way she is, she's got no Danielle doesn't even
Speaker 1: doesn't know what first all, Daniell doesn't know why I'm calling.
Speaker 1: I didn't know why you call. You don't even tell
Speaker 1: dan He didn't tell me. He said, you have an
Speaker 1: opinion on sports, and I already know what it is.
Speaker 1: We're not even you saying a word. I know what
Speaker 1: it is. I don't. So I'm gonna let you go.
Speaker 1: Let let her talk, and but and let let me explain,
Speaker 1: let me lead Danielle into what she's And Brodie had
Speaker 1: no clue I was even calling you or whatever. But no,
Speaker 1: but the other day was I was. I was mad
Speaker 1: at Danielle in two thousand when they played each other
Speaker 1: in the Subway Series because I know what she's gonna say.
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with that. Okay, okay, now, okay, now, alright,
Speaker 1: so you ever Okay. Obviously, Iron Judge uh set American
Speaker 1: League history. He surpassed Roger Marras sixty second home run
Speaker 1: to his sixty six one. YadA yanda, we all know
Speaker 1: that now the as it turned out, the guy who
Speaker 1: caught that ball, all right, the second No, this is
Speaker 1: not going in the direction Bronie may think. It is
Speaker 1: the guy who caught that ball, all right, the sixty
Speaker 1: second home run. Danielle was doing the story and then
Speaker 1: the other day on the on the air, and then
Speaker 1: Danielle imparts her opinion during the story all right, which
Speaker 1: which she'll tell you in a second, and then me
Speaker 1: and lat Nate on the show look at each other like,
Speaker 1: is she fucking crazy? What what Danielle? Right? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not no, this isn't it's an opinion. Hold your fire.
Speaker 1: Why don't you explain what your opinion is about the
Speaker 1: guy who caught the sixty second home run from Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge and what he should do with the ball? Go
Speaker 1: for it. My opinion is that in my eyes, the
Speaker 1: ball belongs to Aaron Judge. But hopefully, but hopefully, Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge would take that ball and put it in a museum.
Speaker 1: Let's the you know, the fancy it do things that
Speaker 1: it maybe bring it to children's hospitals and you know,
Speaker 1: stuff like act I think that if this guy, it
Speaker 1: looks the guy is not even a Yankee fan that
Speaker 1: caught it. It was a Yankee fan. If he was
Speaker 1: a Yankee fan, I would say, okay, if you want
Speaker 1: to keep it for yourself, for your family, for your kids,
Speaker 1: that's a different situation. Maybe this guy is not even
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan. He wasn't even more a Yankee hat
Speaker 1: he was doing that. Okay, I just think, don't be
Speaker 1: a greedy bastard and give the sucking ball back to
Speaker 1: Alan Judge and maybe Alan Judge will be kind enough
Speaker 1: to give you a little something. Now here's just just
Speaker 1: goes to show Danielle as sweet. She is so sweet
Speaker 1: as apple pie and so innocent. But the guy, by
Speaker 1: the way, by the way, Corey Yeoman's is the guy
Speaker 1: who caught it. All right, Now here's the thing. This
Speaker 1: is Oman's, Yeoman's, Yeoman's whatever the point, My my whole
Speaker 1: take on it was. Listen, it's what's fair is fair.
Speaker 1: Nobody gives back home run balls anywhere or any type
Speaker 1: of ball. The ball goes to the stands. That rule
Speaker 1: is that person gets to do what they want to
Speaker 1: do with it. Now, the right and by the way,
Speaker 1: this is good old fashioned capitalism. Sports is a business.
Speaker 1: These guys. These athletes get paid a lot of money
Speaker 1: for sports contracts, do they not. They paid the big
Speaker 1: So the whole thing is a business. So that means Corey, yes,
Speaker 1: I should make some fucking money on this ball. Apparently
Speaker 1: he was offered two million dollars just yesterday. It was
Speaker 1: originally it was worth from the get those two million dollars,
Speaker 1: but of course it's going to be eventually worth a
Speaker 1: lot more than that. An auctioneer offered him two million.
Speaker 1: He has not, he said, not not a hard pass.
Speaker 1: This guy is gonna milk this for the best in
Speaker 1: his ability to get the most possible that he can.
Speaker 1: And guess what I say, pat on the back, God
Speaker 1: bless him. That's what he should be doing. Why do
Speaker 1: you think that he's just handed over without any promising anything,
Speaker 1: no negotiation here. The reason why is that it means
Speaker 1: a lot to a person like Aaron Judge. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think about what he did in history. You know
Speaker 1: how many other people can say they did that, and
Speaker 1: how many people will ever be able to say they
Speaker 1: do that. So for him, this is a very special
Speaker 1: It's a It's one of the most amazing things that
Speaker 1: I've ever been done in baseball, and like, I feel
Speaker 1: like that guy Corey didn't hit the ball. He just
Speaker 1: happened to be a lucky fan. That exact let me go.
Speaker 1: Brody's so angry. I knew you'd be pissed. So this
Speaker 1: is typical, Danielle. Danielle, you are better than all of us.
Speaker 1: I have to say you are. But you you had
Speaker 1: said this, if this guy was a Yankee fan, he
Speaker 1: could keep the ball and give it to his kids
Speaker 1: and his family and it'd be awesome. Right, Well, maybe
Speaker 1: I didn't. Definitely I said, maybe I would understand a
Speaker 1: little bit. Guess what he's going to give his kids.
Speaker 1: Ferrari's like that a lot, I know, Buck Rhodish, let
Speaker 1: me finish. Yeah, go ahead. He's what I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: about Judge. He's a great guy. He's going with kids,
Speaker 1: and I think and I think he's also looking at
Speaker 1: it like this, like you know what to him, he's
Speaker 1: not going to be the stucker to pay two million
Speaker 1: dollars for his own ball. But okay, but think of
Speaker 1: it this way. Think of it this way. If you
Speaker 1: made a hundred thousand dollars a year and you wanted
Speaker 1: your ball back and the kids said in real life.
Speaker 1: Let's say you wanted something and the kids like, give
Speaker 1: me a thousand dollars, and it meant the world to you.
Speaker 1: You make a hundred thousand dollars a year, you'd come
Speaker 1: up with thousand dollars, right, You might come up with
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, absolutely, absolutely, But if you hit the ball
Speaker 1: right and it was a thousand dollars, okay, you want
Speaker 1: to get back thousand dollars. You make a hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: A thousand dollars a lot of money, but you can
Speaker 1: put something together. You come up with a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: if you had to. Aaron Aaron Judge was offered a
Speaker 1: contract by Yankees for two hundred and seventy something million
Speaker 1: dollars approximately, and he turned it down. He then had
Speaker 1: the greatest hitting season of any baseball player in the
Speaker 1: history of American basis. That's why he turned it down.
Speaker 1: Would happen well, but that no, he would never Nobody
Speaker 1: would look he bet on himself, But no one would
Speaker 1: ever think in a million years a guy who was
Speaker 1: often injured, often didn't live up to expectation, would have
Speaker 1: the greatest hitting season in the history of baseball. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get a contract. He's gonna get a ten year,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe an eight year, nine year, almost four hundred
Speaker 1: million dollar contract from somebody, and probably the Mets and
Speaker 1: not the Yankees. So if I'm telling you he's going
Speaker 1: to be, it's either going to be the Yankees or
Speaker 1: it's gonna be where he grew up, the San Francisco Giants. Okay,
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is a man who's worth who
Speaker 1: signs a four hundred million dollar contract to him four
Speaker 1: million dollars is a thousand dollars to a person making
Speaker 1: a hundred, and the Yankees the Yankees. If he wants
Speaker 1: to resign with the Yankees, he can very easily say,
Speaker 1: I want you to work that ball into my contract.
Speaker 1: There you go and get and get the billion dollar
Speaker 1: Yankee organization to pony up three million dollars to the kid,
Speaker 1: give the kids major League Baseball tickets to every team
Speaker 1: in the league for all he want, whatever he wants
Speaker 1: because it's his bucket to the Yankees and they go, Aaron,
Speaker 1: we got your ball back. They make a nice jetch
Speaker 1: to Aaron. Aaron gets him million dollar contract. The team
Speaker 1: gives him the ball like a gold watch to a
Speaker 1: normal person and everybody's but yeah, but that kid should
Speaker 1: take that ball and bury it until somebody gives him
Speaker 1: three million domes straight. And you know, Danielle said on
Speaker 1: the air the other day, she goes, he should do
Speaker 1: the right thing and just give it to Judge. Me.
Speaker 1: To me, I would I would be like, oh, I
Speaker 1: get to me Aaron Judge and he's gonna give me
Speaker 1: tickets to a game. And I get like being the
Speaker 1: crazy Aaron Judge Yankee person, Like, to me, that's cool enough.
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about the money. I'm thinking about oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, and get and then and then you go
Speaker 1: home and you tell your British husband, your beautiful, handsome, polite,
Speaker 1: fun British husband, Sheldon, you gave away a ball were
Speaker 1: three to four million dollars because you wanted to meet
Speaker 1: some guy for two seconds when you meet celebrities every day,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go great. And if you caught the
Speaker 1: sixty and you would have turned that shipped over from
Speaker 1: for a hundred thousand dollars and season tickets. Danielle, do
Speaker 1: you know what happens when you have no negotiation and
Speaker 1: no contract and no work, You get Jack dick. And
Speaker 1: here's how you got that. I'm gonna give you an
Speaker 1: example of the Mark McGuire situation when when he hit,
Speaker 1: he's in the National League, of course, a different than
Speaker 1: the American rights, right, yeah, right, with an asterisk, we
Speaker 1: know whatever. So that home run to all aster risk,
Speaker 1: that home run ball, okay, went to somebody, so that
Speaker 1: somebody said, you know something, here's what I want. I
Speaker 1: don't want money. I want to give the ball to
Speaker 1: Mark McGuire, but I want to meet Mark reguire, and
Speaker 1: I want an autograph jersey and this and that and
Speaker 1: the other thing. You know. Mark McGuire said, fuck him,
Speaker 1: I don't want to meet him. No, I will give
Speaker 1: him an autograph uniform and an autographed U bat whatever
Speaker 1: the case. So that guy said, well, then fuck you
Speaker 1: two then, and I think it's he's sold it for
Speaker 1: how much money? Brodie for crazy money? Because and and
Speaker 1: he was. That was a guy being nice. He basically
Speaker 1: worthless because Barry Bonds hit exactly steroids. So but the
Speaker 1: point is that's what happens when you don't when you
Speaker 1: don't go for the jugular and you don't get you
Speaker 1: gotta play hardball. How about how about the Tom Brady
Speaker 1: football guy. Though, how about that Tom Brady. He caught
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's last NFL pass before You're tired, and he
Speaker 1: sold the ball for like what are a cell for?
Speaker 1: At one point five million of no, no, some guy
Speaker 1: bought it. Some guy bought the ball from him, some
Speaker 1: sub yeah, and then two days later he retired in
Speaker 1: the balls worthless. You would have been worthless. Oh, she
Speaker 1: caught his balls on a nightly basis, but lofferent anyway.
Speaker 1: I wanted. I wanted to get Brody's gander up. I
Speaker 1: wanted serious. Well, I'll tell you what I thought Danielle
Speaker 1: was gonna say, because I thought it was about the
Speaker 1: Medicine the Yankees both being in the playoffs, which doesn't
Speaker 1: always happen. Because when the Medicine Yankees played in the
Speaker 1: World Series. I didn't hate the Yankees. I hate them.
Speaker 1: But daniel was like, no, it's New York. He got
Speaker 1: a roof football teams. She has no anger in her none.
Speaker 1: I love it. She doesn't have a harm harmful ball, Danie.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. If the Yankees and the
Speaker 1: Mets both go to the World Series, I would of
Speaker 1: course be a Yankee fan and root for the Yankees.
Speaker 1: But if the Yankees don't make it to the World
Speaker 1: Series and the Mets make it to the World Series
Speaker 1: against whoever, I'm going to go for the Mets because
Speaker 1: here in New York teams, yes see, Danielle Dance makes me.
Speaker 1: I have to balance. The only team that you would
Speaker 1: never see me ever root for before I dropped dead
Speaker 1: is the Boston Red Sox. And you know that my
Speaker 1: dad would have a freaking heart attack looking down at
Speaker 1: me if he ever saw me do that. That's why,
Speaker 1: that's why when the Red Sox played the Mets in
Speaker 1: the eight six World Series, it was the greatest thing ever,
Speaker 1: because Yankee fans had nobody to root for Danielle on
Speaker 1: her way to Right now, I'm actually leaving in a
Speaker 1: few minutes. I'm going to Comic Con, so we'll let
Speaker 1: you go and then Brodie's gonna talk about what he's
Speaker 1: doing Comic co on tomorrow. You guys are gonna miss
Speaker 1: each other by a day. I know. I wish, I
Speaker 1: honestly wish that our schedule was okay and I would
Speaker 1: have gone tomorrow to see him. But I'm going away
Speaker 1: by soccer tournament for the weekend to make it up
Speaker 1: for us. Danielle is gonna tweet out and retweet and
Speaker 1: repost the link to this episode. I love you, Danielle.
Speaker 1: Well if you if yes, if you hit me on
Speaker 1: Instagram and I will repost as well. You're a special guest,
Speaker 1: so we'll tag you. Yes, no problem, Thank you, Danielle.
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. Butt By. If you catch the ball,
Speaker 1: you know there some kind of famous ball, give it
Speaker 1: to me, and I promise I'll give it to I'm
Speaker 1: sure I can trust you absolutely, good bye bye. Oh
Speaker 1: oh that makes me so lang. I know I was
Speaker 1: so I was. I was flippant with her. What you
Speaker 1: don't just give it away? You know, if you if
Speaker 1: you catch a guy's first home run, right, I give
Speaker 1: it back because this is like his his memories, his
Speaker 1: first ever, and then it's gonna be worthless. Right, well
Speaker 1: unless unless he goes on to become an Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: of course. Right. You don't know. But you give the
Speaker 1: ball back, you get a jersey, season tickets, whatever you want.
Speaker 1: You work it out. I give the ball back absolutely.
Speaker 1: But on the sixty home run, uh, you know, if
Speaker 1: you feel that that's the record, that you gotta take
Speaker 1: the three million. You gotta take the money. That's millions
Speaker 1: you're talking about. I know millions, absolutely Capital is a
Speaker 1: baby capital. So speaking of comic Con, why don't you
Speaker 1: explain to everybody what's going on with your Wacky Packages, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I would expect my advanced copies of
Speaker 1: those in the mail, but I didn't seem to see
Speaker 1: those today. Well, I have not gotten them, and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you why. They were printed in Florida a couple
Speaker 1: of days before Hurricane Ian hit. They got stuck in
Speaker 1: North Carolina and they just made it out of North
Speaker 1: Carolina two days ago. I was told they might not
Speaker 1: even be a comic Con in time for me to
Speaker 1: sign them, but they're gonna be there now. So I
Speaker 1: don't have any yet. They're sending me some I have.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna print them, put them on my walls, like
Speaker 1: blow them up and frame them. So. Wacky Packages are
Speaker 1: collectible stickers made by the Tops card company. They famous
Speaker 1: for baseball cards, but they also they made garbage pail kids,
Speaker 1: which scary collected. Love them. I have every single one
Speaker 1: of them. Anybody want to want to buy them? Want
Speaker 1: to buy them? There for sale? They got the full
Speaker 1: set Yep, they can be valuable. And uh Neil, the
Speaker 1: artist who drew the Wacky Packages I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: about in a minute, drew a lot of garbage pail kids.
Speaker 1: So wacky packages are everyday items you find in the store,
Speaker 1: and they're stickers of them, but their puns parodies trying
Speaker 1: to make them funny. So like when I grew up,
Speaker 1: a Jax was a Jerks and it was like an
Speaker 1: aid on the thing, and it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: for morons who want their sinks clean, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: That Cover Girl Cosmetics was cover Goal and it was
Speaker 1: like a witch on the thing. And and that's so
Speaker 1: it's like a pun. You changed the name of the
Speaker 1: product a little bit. So I met the guys from
Speaker 1: Tops when they came up to the morning show, and
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I love Top spaceball cards. I
Speaker 1: collected HI when I was a kid, but you know
Speaker 1: my favorite was Wacky Packages. And I'm a comedy writer.
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to, you know, right for you guys
Speaker 1: at least one to say I did it. And they said, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we'll put you in touch with Frances. He's in charge
Speaker 1: of the Wacky Packages division. And h I said, what
Speaker 1: you're kidding me? Wow, they'd be great yea. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: so I emailed Francis, and Francis said, oh, we'd love
Speaker 1: for you to to write a few. I would love
Speaker 1: to make your dream come true. Why don't you send in? Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll do like five, We'll do like a set of five.
Speaker 1: I said, that'd be fantastic. So and it took me
Speaker 1: about an hour. I wrote up five and I sketched.
Speaker 1: I didn't sketch them, but I laid them out, like
Speaker 1: put this in the corner and put that up there,
Speaker 1: and put this here, and this is all the puns
Speaker 1: I wrote and everything I sent in, Uh six, I
Speaker 1: sent in five. One got cut. I wanted to do
Speaker 1: a parody of Carrol Syrup k r O, which is
Speaker 1: the brown syrup use for pecampie. And it was gonna
Speaker 1: be Karen Syrup one sip and you'll demand to speak
Speaker 1: to the manager and to be a woman yelling and
Speaker 1: a guy behind the cat love that, And they said,
Speaker 1: uh no, that might offend people. Mike, who's gonna offend
Speaker 1: Karen's They get offended by everything, like Nope, the senses
Speaker 1: will never approve it, They blum, they they blocked it.
Speaker 1: So then I had you know those pop Funko's, the
Speaker 1: fun Oh yeah, the fun pop puns. That's right, Yes,

Speaker 1: we're done. We're commercial free baby. So so we have
Speaker 1: some found yes, yes, okay, oh, I didn't want to
Speaker 1: say his name. I labeled it wrong. Well, Dante Hall
Speaker 1: used to used to be a wide receiver for the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, and he was in England for a
Speaker 1: pregame show because the NFL has games now occasionally on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning at nine thirty here because it's in the
Speaker 1: afternoon in England, they have football games Giants they're playing
Speaker 1: this weekend in London. So they had Dante Hall on
Speaker 1: because he because the European League. There used to be
Speaker 1: a European Football League and one of the teams was
Speaker 1: in England. They don't have anymore, but there were like
Speaker 1: six or eight teams that played in Spain and Germany
Speaker 1: and it doesn't doesn't matter, and one of the teams
Speaker 1: was in England. So he's talking about in this clip
Speaker 1: how he grew up in Texas. He spent most of
Speaker 1: his time in Texas and he went to England and
Speaker 1: he had to make a decision. Well, every part of
Speaker 1: this clip, we're gonna play and we will play it
Speaker 1: twice he uses the wrong word. Okay, and the people
Speaker 1: laugh along like he's making sense, but he isn't. Go ahead.
Speaker 1: I was a Texas boy. Had been in Texas ninety
Speaker 1: plus percentau of my life us so percentile. That's not
Speaker 1: the right word, the ninety had been in Texas ninety
Speaker 1: plus percent out of my life. Had Texas maybe two
Speaker 1: or three times totally. So you go over. Now you
Speaker 1: are living in a totally foreign country. Is there a
Speaker 1: partially foreign country? Okay, gone, keep going in the culture.
Speaker 1: I was a Texas boy. I can't pause. Texas ninety
Speaker 1: plus percent out of my life, had never left Texas
Speaker 1: maybe two or three times total. So you go over.
Speaker 1: Now you are living in a totally foreign country. It's
Speaker 1: or you getting engage into the culture. Oh, engage into
Speaker 1: the culture. Nope, that's not the mistake. You didn't hear it.
Speaker 1: They all laughed when he said it. He said, you
Speaker 1: have a choice to make when you live in a
Speaker 1: foreign country. You can be a hobbit, or you can
Speaker 1: engage in the culture. He meant hermit a hobbit from
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings and they're laughing, like hobbit, yeah, yeah, yeah, Nope, Nope,
Speaker 1: that's not what he meant that you can't go to
Speaker 1: England and decided to be hot, Mega die, what do
Speaker 1: you got? Okay? All right? So I listened to a
Speaker 1: fantasy football show on satellite radio and there's one guy
Speaker 1: who's the host. He's like, he's the guy talking like this.
Speaker 1: The other guy comes in with a fact. He comes
Speaker 1: in with a fact. He corrects the first guy and
Speaker 1: adds on to what he says. Right. Well, the second guy,
Speaker 1: who's kind of mumbly not only gets the name of
Speaker 1: the shock wrong. The first guy never heard of it,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't know he's right. He gives him credit
Speaker 1: for being right even though he's wrong, and then he
Speaker 1: tells him it's it's a movie starring an actor, and
Speaker 1: then he says the actor's name completely wrong. So this
Speaker 1: is to two guys who know nothing talking on the
Speaker 1: fantasy football So you are sharks. That's what I think.
Speaker 1: You're a shark. That's what the shark does, megadon or
Speaker 1: whatever they call it. I didn't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. That's a large prehistoric shark.
Speaker 1: Look at this, impressed buddy, right now? I said that
Speaker 1: in a decade. Look at that. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that even is, but well done. I'm just molly to Phil.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me if he's wrong because I can't handle
Speaker 1: right here. Hold on, Yeah, I don't even know if
Speaker 1: that is a thing or not. But I'm impressed that movie.
Speaker 1: Oh they're lying because it's it's it's megalodon. It's a Megaladon.
Speaker 1: But he's like, I'm so impressed. I'm so impressed. The
Speaker 1: guy is wrong, and the other guy doesn't even know.
Speaker 1: He's like, this is terrific. You saw it Preistark And
Speaker 1: then he says, you have to clip the second clip.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed that movie. Oh dah work. He says, it's
Speaker 1: a movie starring Jason Statham. It's Jason Statham. So the
Speaker 1: guy is wrong across the board, and the other guy
Speaker 1: keeps going, this guy, I'm so impressed by you. You're
Speaker 1: so brilliant. It shows you how dumb the first guy
Speaker 1: is that he's impressed by the second dumb guy. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, you know what megla don is.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but you wouldn't go on the radio and
Speaker 1: called a mega don and have your call host tell you,
Speaker 1: you're brilliant. So and then say, Jason, we do that
Speaker 1: here on the Brooklyn Boys podcast. We do. I'm sorry, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is mind if I join you? Okay, this is
Speaker 1: a she Hulk last night, a fantastic episode of she Hulk.
Speaker 1: I'm not gooda well, there's a guy in the episode.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell what the guy is. But the guy
Speaker 1: sends her over a drink and she responds improperly cute,
Speaker 1: VA join sure? He says, mind if I join you?
Speaker 1: And she says sure. That means she doesn't you VA
Speaker 1: join sure? Do you mind if I join you? She
Speaker 1: says sure. That means absolutely, I mind. If people did
Speaker 1: all the time, people at the time, that's it that
Speaker 1: that one is very common, I know. But it's if
Speaker 1: you take yeah, but they're speaking like we speak. It's colloquial, right,
Speaker 1: it's cause it's it's basically it's Lehman's terms. It's easy
Speaker 1: because I'll see you why because mind if I join you? Right?
Speaker 1: If you pick apart the sentence, if you say the
Speaker 1: word your mind, that means I mind, don't join me?
Speaker 1: But we do it all the time. Everyone does it.
Speaker 1: That It's almost like an unspoken it's spoke repass. No,
Speaker 1: it's a free pass. No, it's not because we know
Speaker 1: because when you say sure, that means you wouldn't if
Speaker 1: you if you really mind it, you wouldn't say it's
Speaker 1: so sexy like sure, But why where do they go?
Speaker 1: Do you mind if I join you and you say no,
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna sit there, but you meant you
