But we're glad you found us and 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.199 five years now enjoy this one and then go back 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.000 to listen to the episode zero and work your way 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.440 up in order, right, but listen to this entire episode first. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.040 It's a good one. I like how we're welcoming new 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.680 people through the door. This is this is nice. We 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.720 should have been doing since the beginning. Well every episode. 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.440 You know you can't always, but I'm I feel a 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.360 vibe new year. Knew you. People are exercising, they're going 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.400 to the gym, listening to us in their in their headphones, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.520 their earphones. You feel like this is podcast time. I 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.560 just hope that the listenership doesn't drop off the way 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.360 people at the gym do. And that's like by March, yeah, 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.479 because that's what happened. Well, let me let me tell 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.920 you this. What do you think of this idea? I uh, 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.240 about four years ago, I bought a recumbent bike. You 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.640 know what that is? Who a recumbent bike? No, it's 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.360 so it's an exercise bike, except it's it's the time 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.160 where you you sit down and your feet go straight 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.360 and your pedal. Okay, but you're not sitting on a 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.920 bike seat, just sort of like reclined, a reclinement. Okay, yeah, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.720 what about it? Have you? Well? I used it a 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.800 few times, my daughter used it a few times, and 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.280 then the head unit, the big digital thing you pushed 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.560 the buttons and said everything it went, it went. So 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.160 I think I may have told the story how I 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:54.160 I called Schwinn. There was some they ended up. They 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.480 sent me a new unit that was the wrong unit 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.800 for my machine. They didn't want it back as they 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.760 say that might get damaged in shipping and that they 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.880 can't be they couldn't use it again, just keep it. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.640 So I sold that for three d then got another 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.280 one from them for my troubles for free, and so 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.799 I basically have a new recumbent bike. It's the only 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.160 thing that's you know, it was it was in very 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.799 good condition. Now the whole digital is all new. I 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.760 haven't used it of courses in college. Nobody's using it now. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.639 It's it's a clothesline pretty much, just sitting there as 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.799 that's what I know. I know I made a rule though, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.920 that's for the treadmills. They make it for clothes. Um, 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.720 I made a rule when I bought it. I said, 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.280 I don't care if you don't use it. You can 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.560 never have clothing on it. That's a rule. And said, absolutely, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.160 it's in. It's in one of the wholes. So this 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.840 way you can. You can give off the facade when 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.519 company comes that it may be used. It may or 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.720 may not be, but it has clothes on it. You 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.200 know it's gone right, it's just sitting there. I said, 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.800 I don't because I bought it for her. She wanted 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.239 to use it my two kids. When two of my 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.480 kids wanted to use it, like, I'll buy a few guys, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.240 but I can't. You can't use of a clothing anyway. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.720 Now is time to sell it, right because everyone's buying 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.359 and uh, I got like a week lass myself. I think. Yeah, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:05.760 I was about to say, I think you're a little 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.480 late to the party on that. I think anyone who 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.800 started the whole New Year New you think started about 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.880 a month ago. Yeah, but I know, I know from 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.919 when I bought this in February a few years ago. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.520 You spend January trying to find one, you realize they're 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.120 too expensive. Then you stuck going on on on YouTube, Facebook, 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.919 on YouTube, eBay, Facebook to get one that's already like 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.639 mocked down. I think it's an impulse by I think 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.320 it's too late. No, I think I think people whose 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.200 friends are working out, they're like, yeah, I should probably 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.239 get one. It's no, I'm not worried. I'm not worried anyway. 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.000 That's my movie. I'm gonna I'm gonna sell me. Yeah. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.520 Oh my god, so much has been going on you 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.920 by the way. Just yeah, Well, it's my birthday. It's 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.400 my birth it's my it's my birthday. I'm sandwiched in 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:53.360 between two holidays for myself today David Brodie's birthday. I 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.320 wasn't counting that one, but okay, maybe three holidays. And 0:03:56.400 --> 0:04:00.440 then yesterday I celebrated my twenty eight year at Z 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:07.080 one years ago. Yesterday I was hired back, congratulations, thank you. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.840 And then tomorrow that was in February first higher and 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:15.080 now tomorrow, February three is my birthday. That's very nice. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.560 And yeah, that's that's that's exciting. I'm gonna give you 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.240 the exact cause I don't want to be wrong here, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:25.000 Uh SUPERB Bowl, what was it? Let's see, was exactly 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.479 what are you doing here? I'm gonna get you a date? 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:39.480 A date? What? Okay? Okay? So January okay, that week, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.120 so the week of I know we're going, we're going 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.160 with this, and I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna guess what happened. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.200 Go ahead. David Brody writes his first parody for Z 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.559 one called I'm Liking the Pack and We're Scary Jones 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.400 knows Brody Trivia and and it was obviously the Packers 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.840 were in this super Broncos who had lost the previous year, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.840 and and so I wrote a song about it was 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.440 like in the past. It was tuned to the tune 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.640 of I like it like that. Yeah, baby, I'm like 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.600 in the pack like in the But you never did 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.679 like to pack. You've always been a staunch je David 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.360 Brody like in it. It was well, I did, like, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.320 you know what, I was rooting for the Packers that 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.520 You'll tell you why, because the Broncos defeated my Jets 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.799 to get into the Super Bowl. Yeah, now you see same, 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.400 except the Eagles made the Super Bowl. I'm a huge 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.840 Giants fan. They crushed the Giants and I was hoping 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.800 the forty Niners would take them out. They rolled over 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.640 like the Giants did so and you know whatever, this 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.760 is a big week for the Eagles in New York. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.200 What a disgrace. By the way, you don't know the story. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.240 Oh my god. If first of all, whether you've been 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.600 to New York or not, you've all heard of the 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.640 Empire State Building, right, the Empire State Building. Not only 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.600 is is an iconic American building, certainly an iconic New 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.880 York building, but it's it has a huge light lighting 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.280 system that they renovated like twenty years ago, and they 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.000 can maybe ten years ago. You can switch out the 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.120 lights very quickly and light it up and it's it's 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.800 got Phillips l e ed um. It's amazing system. They 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.680 can change the colors very quickly. They used to have 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.159 to change the colors like a yeah days or whatever 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.880 to get all the because those hundreds and hundreds of 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.039 lights that had changed the plastic on each light. Anyway, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.200 they light up for nurses for the during the pandemic America, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.279 during the Olympics, for charities and diseases and awareness days, 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.240 whatever is going on, especially if it's going on in 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.080 New York, that's right. If sports teams are winning, they 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.720 light up for the sports New York and sports teams, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:46.120 that's correct. Well, last weekend when the Eagles one against 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:51.720 the forty Niners the Super Bowl, which, by the way, 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.560 he's not even a Super Bowl win, it's an NFC championship. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:59.640 The week after they defeated New York's giants, the Empire 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.640 Stay Building. By the way, they're getting a lot of 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.800 publicity out of this, but f them. The people in 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.680 charge you run the Empire State Building, decided what a 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.320 great idea, We're gonna pay tribute to the Eagles, and 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.440 they lit it up green and white, no joke, it 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.480 was the Jets. But it's a different Green discussed the 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.320 Eagles discussed despicable. This is a different Philly. You'll light 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.520 up the will the William Penn Tower, the Philly, the 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.760 one and two, the two buildings that look alike. You 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.640 want to light up the Liberty Bell, the Comcast Center 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.040 of Afia. I happened to like the Eagles as a 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.520 side team because the owner does a lot for children's 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.360 charity and childhood cancer. You started draw McDonald house. Maybe 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.360 it's the previous owner, whatever, one of the owners. So 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.400 I've looked against them, and I love Philadelphia. Keep you 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.640 keep that. You cannot keep your ship in your town. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.240 I I was disgusted that the Empire State Building, a 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.200 New York building, which by the way, not a National building, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.560 a New York building. It has the word Empire State 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.680 in it, decided to go green and white. And I 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.600 was absolutely miserable. This would be like putting a Giants 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.920 jersey on the Rocky Statue or lighting up the Ben 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.080 Franklin Bridge and Giants blue. Well didn't they put it 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.160 a couple of years ago when the Eagles lost the 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.320 Super Bowl. I think somebody put another jersey on the 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.360 Rocky statue. It's funny you say that, but imagine slices 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.440 wherever you live, whether you're in a college football town, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:26.400 basketball town, whatever sport you like, imagine that the landmark 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.680 in your town, small town, big city, wherever you live, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:34.200 decided to celebrate a major victory by your biggest rival. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.280 This is like the city, the city of Columbus, Ohio 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.200 celebrating a Michigan State win in their city. Yeah yeah, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.520 this is like that's after they knock out the buck 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.560 Eyes to go to the title game. I'm not saying 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.800 that we're not a sports podcast, I know, but but 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.240 this is a this is a more than a sports story. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.319 This is a pride story. Is like, what the fuck 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.280 are you thinking? Like? Who who? I like, we got 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.600 to the bottom of it. Some people were saying, oh, 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.600 the NFL paid for it. That was false. That did 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.360 not happen because because I know, they put the Chiefs 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.280 colors up. A few hours later when the Chiefs one 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.920 someone also not right, but not as bad as then. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.040 And by the way, New York, it's free, so you 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.679 have to put you have to fill out a form 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:20.760 to do it, and it's not it's not a paid 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.880 thing at all. So one they can decide what they 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.160 want to do. They could do it on their own. 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.559 I have a big fuck you Empire State Building. Yes, 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.120 I know we don't curse out landmarks and it's only people, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.079 but today, fuck you Empire State Building. That's right, and 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:40.400 that fu agnes exactly. Hashtag fuck you State but um 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.000 and and again once again, if your first time listening, 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.360 We're not a sports podcast. However, we would be how 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.160 would you say? We would be well, remiss, We would 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.520 be remiss. We would be remiss if we didn't just 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.000 take a moment to talk about Tom Brady retiring. Oh yes, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.440 I have a theory, and I don't. I'm just gonna 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.040 cut right to the chase. Is already getting long. Yeah, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.079 that's not what she said. A couple well, it was. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.079 It was revealed last I think last Saturday, a Sunday, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:12.839 that Giselle bunching his wife was gonna have a do 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.880 a tell all with Vanity Fair and it was gonna 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.760 be released this week. Also the movie eighty for Brady, 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.080 which Brady I guess helped fund, you know, and he's 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.559 in it right, it comes out tomorrow, I figured, And 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.560 I thought he literally killed two birds in one stone 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.840 by being the front of all the pages, all the headlines, 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.640 and all the social media and just running the fucking 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.400 table to a squelch out Giselle's little tell all with 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.000 Vanity Fair. Who knows what she's gonna say or even said. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.200 I don't even know if it was released yet, because 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.880 Tom Brady took over the news or promo for his movie. 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:55.839 So advantage Tom Brady though, But yeah, but why why 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.400 announced it? And on that specific day? You know, I 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.679 think it's I don't know about that day. I don't know. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.160 You may be right on the day. I think he's 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.920 definitely retiring. No, I'm gonna saying, but I think he 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.680 might have had it for a while. He's I'm gonna, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.840 I'm gonna. I'm gonna pull this card when I need to. Well, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.560 should we play the Brady clip now and then get 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.000 all the sports out of the way. No, we don't. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.360 Don't think we even need to play the clip. I 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.360 think everyone's heard it, do you, unless you want to 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.440 comment on it. I'd like to comment on it if 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.959 we could. And again, but it's not a sports thing. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.559 But it's it's a shan it's Shawn O'Hara, who is 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.880 one of the is a former football find this is 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.280 not part of the We didn't have this in our preproduction, 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.439 and I said, have it ready? I did text you. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.599 I mean it's easy to find. I'm just gonna. I 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.480 texted you the clip anyway, So are you texting me 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.560 the clip? Yeah? I did. I texted you the link 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.480 said sound for the show. Sound for the show. I 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.959 have it. I got it right here. Okay. So he 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.760 is the host of like Good Morning Football something or 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.800 something like that, and he's talking about the importance of 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:00.120 Tom Brady retiring, that everyone listening will remember where they 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.400 were when they heard Tom Brady was retiring. And he 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:08.280 gives two examples of things. It's like where you remember, 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.959 remember where you were this time and this time He 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.199 mentions two things that are very serious and compares tom 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.840 Brady's retiring. Here you go. This is a huge moment, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.280 not just for Tom Brady, not just for the NFL, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.880 but like for all of us. You know, look, people 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.280 remember where they were when JFK was assassinated. Remember where 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.199 he were with nine eleven? His first start was a 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.600 week after nine eleven. That's how long ago he's been playing. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.319 I was. I came out in the same year as him, 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.440 two thousand and he's still playing twenty three years. It's 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.880 a long time. But I'm gonna remember this like I'm 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.480 gonna remember who I'm with. Kyle's gonna remember he was 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.960 in Vegas. Um, you're you're gonna be sorry. If you're 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.480 not a Tom Brady fan, You're not are you gonna 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.240 remember where you were? And is that you're really gonna 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.240 use nine eleven and Kennedy's assess I think that a 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.520 football player retired. I don't care if he's the greatest 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.520 quarterback of all time that you're gonna put him in 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.400 the same set with nine eleven. That's a no for me. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:04.880 I remember where I was a nine eleven. I was 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:09.760 on the radio, like I remember, But Son, I gotta 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.120 tell you, even though I'm a Jets fan, I remember 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.040 sitting at the kitchen table with your mom. I was 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.360 eating lakes and I spot some milk on myself the 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.439 minute I heard Tom Brady was retiring. I remember mom 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.439 was wearing a plaid dress. I mean, yeah, but in 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.680 his world, sure he'll remember, but the rest of us 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.160 not so much. Yes, So he didn't do well on 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.360 social media. Uh, I can imagine he must have had it. 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.520 It's the cancel culture. Snowflakes came for him. I have 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.840 to say, I don't mind him being canceled for at 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.280 least a day. There was he always he I think 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.199 it's an apology. He needs to. I think it's not. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.480 It's you don't. You can't. You can't compare the two. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:54.280 All right, we take take we are cooking, were cooking, 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.520 We are you know, I miss you, Brodie. Last week 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.640 we did the podcast in person we were here, and 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.040 I got a lot of feedback on that, as did I, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.920 saying that the energy was incomparable. And I loved when 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.640 I punched you, and I loved when I yelled at 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.439 you downstairs, neighbor, and they love the fact that I 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.800 gave you a sour dyet coke that was three years old. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.840 That was ship, dude. I should have made you drink 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.000 the other one in the friend I can't give you 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.760 a fullar admission. Now, I told you it was from 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.840 this past summer. No, that ship, it's like seven years old. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:29.560 Oh my god, it was seven years old, but in 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.680 the glass bottle of my fridge, so I figured it was. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.440 It was fine, ship breaks down. You can't just keep 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.760 food in your fridge. It's food. That's all chemicals. You're 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.120 talking about, diet coke. Yeah, chemicals react after a while, 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.200 they get nuclear. I could have turned green. Sh well. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.840 I threw them all out. So thanks for being my 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:52.880 guinea pig. I needed to know should I serve? Should 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.920 I be serving this to my company? Coming over I'd 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.280 like six of them in there. Yeah, he's coming on Mikey. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.880 He likes it. Yeah, so you you hated it.

Yeah, huh's a sleepover. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.640 There's no place to park. And then you tried to 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.960 poison me. So I'm not I'm not motivated speaking of 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.960 you trying to poison me. Slices, I need your advice. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.760 I need your advice here, so as you know, and 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:41.960 by the way, by the time you hear this, you 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.400 don't need to wish me happy birthday. A lot of 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.560 you did I happy birthday, by the way, e asked me. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.960 That sounds that sounds creepy. No, that is a that 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.960 is an impression of Frosty the Snowman when he comes 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.520 to life and they put his hat on birthday, Happy 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:02.280 Birthday like something like that. I don't know, so I 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:03.760 don't want to give too many detail because I want 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.200 I'm not gonna tell you where it was. But um, 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:11.720 I went out for my birthday, which was so my 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.720 wife took me out on Saturday for my birthday and 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.960 Scary says, oh, I know the you know the owner there, 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.160 the owner. I was like, oh cool, he goes because 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.560 I'm gonna tell me you coming. He was a big 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.520 fan of the show and he knows you of course. Yeah, 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.240 so all right, well sure, but okay, oh my god. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.240 So I'm like, okay, great, And this is a place 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.840 my wife's been to before, loves the food. It's a 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.960 highly rated place, really is. The reviews are out back. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.800 I'm about I'm so embarrassed. I got my tail between 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:51.360 my legs right now. So I went and the chef 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.240 reached out to me and he's like, I'm so excited 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.840 you're coming. Yeah. I did my chart, by the way, 0:16:55.880 --> 0:17:00.480 did I did? Did I not make the what I did? 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.800 Your day? We did? So we went and some of 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.119 the food was was very very good, but we had 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.880 an appetizer of rice balls, little rice balls just rice, 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.240 no peas, no meat, rice balls. They were cold. They 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.600 were ice cold inside like they were the frosted or 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.600 they were in like the cold refrigerator, and they didn't 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.240 they had to like dump dump them in the fryer 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.320 to reheat them. They were ice cold. That's a tough play, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.639 by the way, it's it's it's a predicament to be 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.399 in right when somebody recommends, like, okay, I don't want 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.400 to say anything, but because my name is now attached 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:36.439 to you, and and they're fawning over us the family. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.560 Other family members came over to say hi and welcome, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.439 wished me happy birthday. So I'm like, I can't all right. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.320 Then the main course comes out and it looked nothing 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.879 like the picture on the menu. It lacked sauce, it 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.320 lacked cheese. It was like, I don't know, look like 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.080 a kid made it instead of the chaft by the 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.240 food critic. No, no, listen. It was an expensive meal. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.959 But unlike David Brodie normally, and that was my birthday, 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.760 I couldn't say anything. Why because out of respect for me, right, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.480 because that for you, and because the guy knows I like, 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.359 he's like, if you would have caused a stink. That's 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.000 that's stain would have been on my reputation by oh 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.240 you're having this fucking guy coming to my right guy? Look, 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.359 I think the chef would want So here's my question. 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.520 Should I have said something regardless of of of the 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.000 introduction and the fact that he knew who I was? 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.160 He wasn't there that night, but his family took really 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.119 good care of us. But there were a couple of 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:34.200 things that were not good? And should I should I? So? 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.560 Number one? Should I? Like some of you don't complain 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.560 at all, so I get that, but knowing it's me 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.960 David Brodie Brooklyn boy, should I have said something? Anyway? 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.200 Should I? Since I'm talking with the person on the 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.120 chef on Instagram and he's like, how'd it go? Should 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.560 I have said? Well? Because I didn't. I said it 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.800 was great, it was great, thanks, great night. But I 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.720 don't you think he'd want to know? This is this 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:01.080 is the hard place part of it, because aside from 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.160 a rock in the hard place, the rice balls were 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:08.840 like a rock in a cold place. Well, I was 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.600 all kidding aside about me knowing the guy. Whatever the 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.639 case that that that take that compartmentalized for a second, um, 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.639 my friends who a couple of them who own restaurants 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:25.320 and bars and stuff.

You're giving me 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.800 constructive criticism to correct it and make it better.
