Speaker 2: I'm gonna just, uh, how do I even explain it? All? Right?
Speaker 2: Being in the industry, in the media industry, and when
Speaker 2: you say stream in the business, the business, we get
Speaker 2: a lot of requests and invites in an email and
Speaker 2: emails that say, hey, Scary Jones, hope you're doing well.
Speaker 2: We got this product launch coming on this day and
Speaker 2: this time, at this place, we would love for you
Speaker 2: to come down and cover this for your for your
Speaker 2: station right time. Yeah. So, so basically, when you, I guess,
Speaker 2: when you launch a product, you send out a press
Speaker 2: release and then you some company comes along and starts
Speaker 2: emailing individuals like individual news organizations and media to come
Speaker 2: cover it for coverage. Now, first of all, you're assuming,
Speaker 2: you're assuming that you want me to come to this
Speaker 2: product launch to cover something. So let me get this straight.
Speaker 2: Your your non event, your non product that nobody knows
Speaker 2: or cares about. You want me to come to this
Speaker 2: grand opening, this grand launch of that. Okay, waste my
Speaker 2: whole day, not get paid, but just show up right
Speaker 2: cover it, Maybe record a sound bite. Oh maybe throw
Speaker 2: something up on social media. Yeah, promote it for free.
Speaker 2: Let's throw it out there on my social to my
Speaker 2: your the follow thousand dollars worth of value and then
Speaker 2: go back to my podcast or radio show and talk
Speaker 2: about it on the air. I mean, if that's not egotistical, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know what's in They're giving you content man, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: content because I really care about you. Get to take pictures.
Speaker 2: How many times I was invited to openings of things
Speaker 2: or or like, oh, we want you to come down
Speaker 2: to the ugly uh rest freaky looking people uh bashing show.
Speaker 2: And it was like there was it was a no brand. No.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't need to watch, but people walk
Speaker 2: down a runway. It doesn't you know, you know, and
Speaker 2: they don't know what my role was. They just saw
Speaker 2: he works on the morning show and listen, I'm flatted.
Speaker 2: I wish I was still you know, not nobody invites
Speaker 2: me to anything, but a lot of times you're right.
Speaker 2: It's like I appreciate. Look, you know what the publicist
Speaker 2: has to prove that they sent out three hundred emails
Speaker 2: that they tried to reach out. I know it doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Who's actually taking the bait on this? And actually like, okay,
Speaker 2: thettle show up. I think a little conna be there
Speaker 2: with my with my petted by my pad, and little
Speaker 2: take notes like who does that? Who's And the best
Speaker 2: part of this is when they do an event, Oh
Speaker 2: we have this launch in Times Square for this grand
Speaker 2: opening or this this launch of this product, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, you shouldn't be calling me and asking me
Speaker 2: to cover it. You should actually be calling me to
Speaker 2: fucking host it. Oh look at you? Scary? Do you
Speaker 2: should be paying me to be there? Because the question
Speaker 2: is if you're on the if you're on the red
Speaker 2: carpet of some minor event and you happen to be
Speaker 2: a quasi celebrity, it brings you down, do you well know? Well,
Speaker 2: the question is shouldn't I be on the other side
Speaker 2: of this camera? Oh? Look at you? You want to walk
Speaker 2: the red cart No? But like yeah, but okay, listen,
Speaker 2: there are certain things that I would say is a privilege?
Speaker 2: Do you think I would do? Here's the things I
Speaker 2: would cover. Yeah, all the major award shows like the AMA's,
Speaker 2: the Grammys, the Oscars, the met Gap. Shouldn't be on
Speaker 2: the red carpet, the met Gala, things that are bigger
Speaker 2: than me. Okay, those things? What quarter are we talking about?
Speaker 2: Those things? I will I will gladly show up. Fourth
Speaker 2: quarter is scary, my energy, my efforts. Maybe I'll get it.
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody will walk by and give me a SoundBite
Speaker 2: for the podcast that I can bring back to the
Speaker 2: slice of choy. You'll leave at the radio station and
Speaker 2: never bring back to the to the podcast room. Here,
Speaker 2: some something with big energy and a lot of celebrities
Speaker 2: and star power. Yes, then okay, I will show up
Speaker 2: to your red carpet. I will take I will gladly
Speaker 2: do some social I will do I will do all
Speaker 2: that for free. But if you just launched a friggin
Speaker 2: cologne and some dalless celebrity is gonna be there in
Speaker 2: Times Square and you want me to cover it, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: contraire Montfrere, No, you're you. If anything, you should have
Speaker 2: gotten in touch with me to be a part of
Speaker 2: the event and help me promote it for you and
Speaker 2: pay me to be there and host it as Scary Jones,
Speaker 2: I can actually I may actually help bring more people
Speaker 2: one hundreds to the event. So so the question becomes,
Speaker 2: at what point should you be on the other side
Speaker 2: of the At what point are you covering the red
Speaker 2: carpet versus walking the red carpet? Because we get we
Speaker 2: we have this issue all the time, and nine times
Speaker 2: out of ten we are we're asked to cover the
Speaker 2: red carpet for these non events, right and and and
Speaker 2: your morning show like fuck you do you even know me?
Speaker 2: Not e online where you're like looking to cover like
Speaker 2: the happenings of events or whatever you're You're a show
Speaker 2: that wants to bring important information to the listeners and also,
Speaker 2: you know, is bigger than like, oh, this chili place
Speaker 2: is opening up in Times Square, Like, where's my free chili?
Speaker 2: Mass show up for free chili? Probably, you know, like
Speaker 2: when they say, like we want you to come this
Speaker 2: faster show and they go, it'll be catered, I go, oh,
Speaker 2: all right, I might, I might go. Then I'll go
Speaker 2: for some good catered food. Don't get me wrong, but
Speaker 2: that your morning show is not the type of outlet
Speaker 2: to cover events, unlike you say, unless they're massive events
Speaker 2: like the met Gala or whatever else. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean. Yeah, By the way, I got an email
Speaker 2: today speaking of guests to have on the show, and
Speaker 2: he interested having Harrison Butker on the show. Who the
Speaker 2: kicker for the Chiefs. He's the biggest story in the
Speaker 2: country right now. Oh that's right, I'm gonna I said, no,
Speaker 2: you would say no to Harrison Butker. Yeah, yeah, Hey, speaking,
Speaker 2: I want to know the story, google it? Oh oh
Speaker 2: Harrison Butker. No, he's very controversial. Yeah no kidding, hello,
Speaker 2: catch up? Catch Oh yeah, no, no, I know he
Speaker 2: said some things. He said some things about things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: women's places in the kitchen. He made a speech at
Speaker 2: a college graduation, and he said some He had some
Speaker 2: pretty disparaging remarks about everyone and almost everyone on the planet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: except people who are exactly like him. Just making a
Speaker 2: joke we're not gonna have on the podcast. So I
Speaker 2: want I'm asking this. They that college spent a lot
Speaker 2: of money and spent a lot of money to have
Speaker 2: him come out and spew that hate. Is that embarrassing?
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for the college and I
Speaker 2: don't want to get into this on this podcast. It
Speaker 2: knowsn't exactly NYU that invited him. Okay, the college knew
Speaker 2: who they were inviting when they invited him. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that the college agrees with everything he said. They
Speaker 2: probably agree with a lot of it. Anyway, My point was,
Speaker 2: I was making a joke that we're gonna have him
Speaker 2: on that. Being said, do you know what an NFL
Speaker 2: schedule release video is? No, So every team when the
Speaker 2: schedules are released, they do like a big production. They
Speaker 2: do a big release a video or like something for
Speaker 2: the fans to show like these are the teams we're playing.
Speaker 2: We're gonna kick their ass. Here's our video announcing our season.
Speaker 2: Get tickets. We're playing the Raiders, We're playing the you
Speaker 2: know whoever. Well, the Chargers, Los Angeles Chargers, who are
Speaker 2: one of the biggest rivals of the Chiefs, released their
Speaker 2: their video like a SIMS video, and it shows them.
Speaker 2: It says, we're playing the Raiders and they put like
Speaker 2: clown makeup on the Raiders and we're playing the rest
Speaker 2: and it's all right. When they announced it playing the
Speaker 2: Chiefs in this video, they had number seven I think
Speaker 2: it's number seven, Harrison Butker the kicker in the kitchen cooking.
Speaker 2: It's very good. So they getting a lot of attention
Speaker 2: on social media. So kudos to the Chargers with social
Speaker 2: media team for putting that together so quickly before we
Speaker 2: take our break. What exactly in a nutshell? In case
Speaker 2: people don't know, but nope, Oh really it's that bad.
Speaker 2: Well listen, it's bad. If you think those things are bad.
Speaker 2: If you think he's right, then you think he's right.
Speaker 2: Didn't he say things to empower men? Did he say
Speaker 2: some things that were or did he just go over
Speaker 2: the line. I don't I don't know what he said.
Speaker 2: I saw the cliff notes. I saw a headline without
Speaker 2: giving my opinion. He disparaged gay people, trans people. He
Speaker 2: said women have all been lied to that their college
Speaker 2: degrees are a waste, that the happiest moment of their
Speaker 2: lives will not be having a career, it'll be having babies.
Speaker 2: And and all these girls who are graduating this college
Speaker 2: were told you don't need a job. Your your best
Speaker 2: job ever is just to be a woman. He disparaged
Speaker 2: the president. He disparaged men who aren't macho enough. It
Speaker 2: is a long list of what he disparaged. And again
Speaker 2: it's it's goes along with his beliefs, and you can
Speaker 2: have whatever opinion you want. People. He will not be
Speaker 2: invited back to speak. Well I can't. I don't know
Speaker 2: how the college handled that, because it's an institution that
Speaker 2: picked him for a reason. Well, there weren't people walking
Speaker 2: out there, weren't people booing a lot of people disagree
Speaker 2: with his opinions. But go google it, Harrison, butker b
Speaker 2: U t k e R. I'm glad, I'm glad we
Speaker 2: passed on him. It's yeh o, my god to that story.
Speaker 2: That's the end of Yeah, let's move on, shall we.
Speaker 2: Well we were also we were also offer I'm not
Speaker 2: going to mention names. We were offered a guest. The
Speaker 2: slices can figure it out, but I'm not going to
Speaker 2: say who. We were offered a guest yesterday who we've
Speaker 2: had on this podcast that we were very fond of
Speaker 2: thought thought they did a great job on the podcast,
Speaker 2: but since then has become as controversial as the last
Speaker 2: guy we just talked about. Huh, and I don't think
Speaker 2: it's a good fit right now. Yeah, I know who
Speaker 2: we're talking about. I saw that email go by. I
Speaker 2: immediately said, not heart passed. So where we get all
Speaker 2: these controversial people from. I don't know. They're all coming out. Hey, listen,
Speaker 2: our friend Gandhi her podcast saw us on the side.
Speaker 2: She just interviewed Drake Bell Drake Studio today. They call
Speaker 2: that a get. That was a get because if you
Speaker 2: know that he was featured in that documentary Quiet on
Speaker 2: Set about the Nickelodeon Nickelodeon Kids when they were growing
Speaker 2: up and what was going on behind the scenes of
Speaker 2: those shows. Yeah, Drake Bell being one of them. You know,
Speaker 2: he had some things to say about some people in
Speaker 2: the industry that were much older than him. So so yeah,
Speaker 2: so Drake Bell. I wonder how much she got out
Speaker 2: of him. It would be interesting to hear this. I
Speaker 2: would have liked to have interview him, but it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a good fit for this podcast. No, not for
Speaker 2: this podcast, just for for your other podcast, which well,
Speaker 2: when I did a YouTube show called The Brody Blog
Speaker 2: back in boy the mid two thousands, late late to
Speaker 2: speaking of it's being a two thousand scary can you
Speaker 2: tell me we're in the what century are we in
Speaker 2: right now? The twenty first century? And can you tell
Speaker 2: me what day? What's the date of the first day
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty first century. This is a trick question,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. No, it's not a trick question. Has
Speaker 2: an answer. I'm gonna say January first, two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: Nice job, Yeah, nice job. A lot of people would
Speaker 2: have said two thousand thousand. Most people are going to
Speaker 2: say two thousand. No, they trip and fall over that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because there's no year zero, They're right exactly. It starts
Speaker 2: in the year one. Anyway, Yes, nice job, two thousand
Speaker 2: and one. Facebook is a Facebook trivia. I told you, Jay,
Speaker 2: drive me crazy. I have like ane an errant nose
Speaker 2: hair just coming in. Where does this come from? This
Speaker 2: was dumbastic came out and this was not it was
Speaker 2: It wasn't sticking out this morning. This thing grew in
Speaker 2: three hours. No, it may have curled up. You may
Speaker 2: have inhaled, you know, and you didn't realize it. Then
Speaker 2: you were exhaled and it blew out like one of
Speaker 2: those noise maker things on New Year's awfully roll back,
Speaker 2: like literally have nose hairs, and it's a gray nose hair.
Speaker 2: No less. Oh, it's literally coming out of its house.
Speaker 2: It's outside of the nostril. Oh you you got fifty
Speaker 2: year old nose. Follow my nose. It always knows, it
Speaker 2: always knows. I got to tell you what happened, ah,
Speaker 2: because I was about to say something. I don't know
Speaker 2: what I was gonna say. All right, well we can't
Speaker 2: say what were we talking about? It was important? Whatever
Speaker 2: it was me? Did I just throw us off? Yes?
Speaker 2: What the hell? All right, well we'll have you to
Speaker 2: go back and listen to the tape. But is it
Speaker 2: gonna say? I don't know. But in the meantime, shit,
Speaker 2: So Mother's Day wasn't exactly the happiest for us, you know,
Speaker 2: because obviously my mom passed back in December, and this
Speaker 2: was gonna be the first time we were going to
Speaker 2: the cemetery to see her. And my father had one
Speaker 2: request and that is that the stone, the headstone, be
Speaker 2: put up prior to our visit, and he had been
Speaker 2: trying desperately for five months to get it to be
Speaker 2: put in place. Yeah, trivia question, that's what it was.
Speaker 2: I'll get back to We'll get back to it. Yes,
Speaker 2: So you know, it's it's weird that that they do
Speaker 2: this at cemeteries, but they have. They're pretty they're they're
Speaker 2: worse than the DMV. The people in charge of some
Speaker 2: of those cemetery offices shouldn't have the jobs they have.
Speaker 2: So we happen to know a guy, you know, you
Speaker 2: know a guy. We know a guy who are you
Speaker 2: telling me Italians? No guys at the time, No, no, no,
Speaker 2: we know a guy. The guy we know my brother
Speaker 2: went to school with, who did the actual etching of
Speaker 2: the stone of the headstone. Okay, And and the stone
Speaker 2: was ready, The stone was ready almost immediately because my
Speaker 2: brother had the end. Sure, So it's been ready for
Speaker 2: five months and the cemetery has had it for that time. Okay,
Speaker 2: So my brother, my sister, my father, taking turns calling
Speaker 2: the cemetery ring ring ring, ring, ring, ring, ring ring.
Speaker 2: No answering machine, no voicemail, there's no email addressed to
Speaker 2: this place. It's a cemetery. There's not a lot of
Speaker 2: people that are living in it. I mean, if there's
Speaker 2: people that are dead in it. But you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. But the point is the staff non existent,
Speaker 2: non responsive, and we found out that as of a
Speaker 2: week ago, the stone was not going to be uh
Speaker 2: oh ready, it wasn't going to put up because it
Speaker 2: wasn't as signed. Okay, so what they were doing with
Speaker 2: this stone for five months is beyond me. But the
Speaker 2: bureaucracy that's involved in getting a headstone put up at
Speaker 2: a cemetery, Brody, you would you would lose your shit.
Speaker 2: You would lose your shit if we if and when
Speaker 2: you have to deal with this kind of garbage, I'm
Speaker 2: well aware. But I have a story as well, so
Speaker 2: please continue. So it got so bad that the guy
Speaker 2: who did the stone and has experience with that cemetery,
Speaker 2: because you would imagine he makes stones for a living
Speaker 2: a headstone zones that he's gonna have to you know,
Speaker 2: he knows he knows the cemetery, he knows the guy. Well,
Speaker 2: he didn't know the guy. He he drove from Staten
Speaker 2: Island to Long Island busted in the guy's office like
Speaker 2: right before Mother's Day. The guy was sitting there, stack
Speaker 2: of papers of orders of headstones that had to be
Speaker 2: put up. Guy just didn't do his job. The guy's
Speaker 2: been there forever. The guy was a real real moron.
Speaker 2: The guy didn't care. He answered to nobody except himself, okay,
Speaker 2: and he basically was just sitting on, wasn't assigning the work,
Speaker 2: wasn't assigning anything, just sat there. So uh so our
Speaker 2: boy who put up, who made the stone, had a
Speaker 2: good old Brooklyn on him. Oh oh, let me say
Speaker 2: this went listen, I'd like the stone to get put up.
Speaker 2: I'd hate for anything to happen. Maybe you know, you
Speaker 2: fall in a hole one of these great It literally
Speaker 2: the guy they had to throw I want to mess
Speaker 2: with a guy so close to a cemetery, hadn't He
Speaker 2: had to literally threaten the guy's life. The guy in
Speaker 2: the office, he was gonna crack. He was going to
Speaker 2: crack some heads. This this guy, my buddy, my brother's friend,
Speaker 2: who made the stone, he got it done. So he said, look,
Speaker 2: he goes, I don't give a fuck. Okay, you you've
Speaker 2: had this stone. I sent it to you. I'm now
Speaker 2: driving over from Staten Island to Long Island. That's how
Speaker 2: important it is for me to get this stone put
Speaker 2: up in time for Mother's Day, the one request this
Speaker 2: family had. So the guy heated his warning. Obviously the
Speaker 2: guy's a threatening figure, our boy, and he uh, he
Speaker 2: basically said, okay, we're gonna get that one done, right
Speaker 2: to the top of the pile. So so Sunday at
Speaker 2: the top of the pile, right by the pile. Right,
Speaker 2: So Sunday we went doan was up. It was a
Speaker 2: somber day, but we had a great Italian lunch to
Speaker 2: finish it off, which always erases all the all the
Speaker 2: said the sadness. Right, so I have been but shout out.
Speaker 2: I always want to out the cemetery. But then that
Speaker 2: means I'm going to out the guy, you know whatever.
Speaker 2: But but I guess it's like, really, even when families
Speaker 2: are grieving, even when in a time of sorrow and despair,
Speaker 2: and when a pair of you can't grant one one
Speaker 2: wish that would you know, shed some light. I mean,
Speaker 2: we want, we want to actually wanted to celebrate my
Speaker 2: mom on Mother's Day, right, and this month, Offucker almost
Speaker 2: came in between us and the slices and I are
Speaker 2: probably wondering the same thing. Didn't we talk about how
Speaker 2: your your father purchased the headstones in advance for everyone? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: my mom and dad did about a year, several months
Speaker 2: prior to this happening. Yes, and say it still wasn't ready.
Speaker 2: It wasn't ready. Wow. Now now that it's up, it's
Speaker 2: it's like five wide, it's it's it's big, okay, but
Speaker 2: it's gonna be for like all the means that yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: So I have a question. It's five wide. Does it
Speaker 2: say like your mom's first name and then underneath the
Speaker 2: last name? No, No, it just has her first It
Speaker 2: has her first and last name, and it has and
Speaker 2: it has our name on the top of the stone.
Speaker 2: That's okay, that's it. Okay, it's blank. Okay, I'm hoping
Speaker 2: it's blank for several years to come. Brodie, Okay, let's
Speaker 2: not reopen this box. Not like they already put your
Speaker 2: last name there to save time and they'll just didn't
Speaker 2: put the first names as you guys drop. No, okay,
Speaker 2: we're not going there. We're not going half wait done,
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, it's over there. It's a family plot
Speaker 2: with our names etched beautiful the name the family name
Speaker 2: etched huge, Okay, and then it's got my mom. You're
Speaker 2: the oldest of three, right, yes, three kids. Yes. Now
Speaker 2: I'm an only child, so naturally I know where I'm
Speaker 2: going in the plot. I'm going next to my parents.
Speaker 2: It's only like it's me, so there's no right. But
Speaker 2: let me ask you a question. Is it gonna be
Speaker 2: in the order of who passes first? Ye? Do you
Speaker 2: get to be next to mom or dad? I don't you.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. No, we're not playing
Speaker 2: this game. I'm not I'm not to be on the end.
Speaker 2: Stop stop stop stop stop. I can't I can't story.
Speaker 2: But anyway, shout out, shout out to to boy Joe
Speaker 2: who got it done? Joe got it done? And name
Speaker 2: Joe got it done. Joe got it done, Joe got
Speaker 2: it done. Who are you gonna call Joe got it done?
Speaker 2: But can you imagine you have to threaten someone, You
Speaker 2: have to walk into a cemetery of all places and
Speaker 2: threaten the guy behind the counter with violence. Now is
Speaker 2: he related to uh to get? Don't funk with it?
Speaker 2: Been with it? I thought that was an interesting funny
Speaker 2: story because it's like, really, at a place like this,
Speaker 2: a place of grief, how did you? Why would you
Speaker 2: fuck with the stonemaker and a family whose name ends
Speaker 2: in a vowel? You looking for problems? Right there? The
Speaker 2: guy has become complacent. Apparently he's been there for years
Speaker 2: and he's the only person in the department, And I
Speaker 2: really hope other people aren't waiting for two years. They
Speaker 2: say that the waiting time could be a year to
Speaker 2: two years before the stone is put up because of
Speaker 2: all this you know, nonsense. But anyway, well let me
Speaker 2: let me give you my story. You tell me what
Speaker 2: you would have done at the end of all this,
Speaker 2: how you would have handled it. So you know, we talked
Speaker 2: about this if you're listening in order. I lost my
Speaker 2: mom in twenty one, right, and so it was still
Speaker 2: tail end of the pandemic, and it was a known
Speaker 2: fact that there was a shortage of limestone for the
Speaker 2: headstones because so many people were dying from the pandemic
Speaker 2: that they were making more headstones than normal. They couldn't
Speaker 2: keep up with production, sadly, so when I ordered it,
Speaker 2: they told me it could be you know, a year
Speaker 2: before you get the stone, and in Jewish tradition, you
Speaker 2: have to put the stone up exactly a year. You
Speaker 2: do what's called an unveiling. You have the family, he
Speaker 2: is the headstone. Everybody calms and you go look at it. Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: the process up until the actual delivery of the stone
Speaker 2: seems smooth. I used the company my family had used before,
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Company, and I wrote, I wrote the verbiage on
Speaker 2: the headstone, and you know, look, you guys know I'm
Speaker 2: I'm Grammar police. You know my mom was grammar police,
Speaker 2: who was school teacher. It's where I got it from.
Speaker 2: And the first line on the headstone that I wrote
Speaker 2: was a lifelong friend because all of her friends she
Speaker 2: knows since grammar school, like her whole life, she went
Speaker 2: to all the schools, same colleges, knows them for a
Speaker 2: lifelong friend and teacher, I think was what I wrote. Yep,
Speaker 2: and they send you normally you'd think it would be
Speaker 2: a digital copy. The guy mailed me like a photo
Speaker 2: like a Xerox member. Xerox in school. It was like
Speaker 2: typed up and like photocopied, and yes, right, it was
Speaker 2: like a handwritten We get high off that purple ink. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I could smell it now. So he sends me back
Speaker 2: this nineteen seventies version of a printed piece of paper
Speaker 2: with with what I had written and the graphics I
Speaker 2: had picked out and so, but it was all caps
Speaker 2: it for whatever reason. When I typed it, you know,
Speaker 2: I typed it only the first letter capitalized, right, But
Speaker 2: when he sent it to me, the whole thing was capitals.
Speaker 2: So I looked at it. It seemed fine. I looked.
Speaker 2: I matched it up to where I sent him, and
Speaker 2: looked fine. When he sent me a picture of the
Speaker 2: headstone a year and ten eleven months years and thirteen
Speaker 2: fourteen months later, when it was fine, only done, they
Speaker 2: wrote all life long, life long is two words, a
Speaker 2: life long friend. Oh, And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 2: it's life long one word. No fucking way, He says,
Speaker 2: you approved it. I said, oh, I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: sheet now because they're all capitalized. The letters are closer
Speaker 2: together than a full space, so you can't tell there's
Speaker 2: a space. There were not, And if if they were
Speaker 2: if they weren't all capitalized, I would have seen it
Speaker 2: was a new word. So what what did you do?
Speaker 2: He says, I'll tell you what. It costs about five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars to fix it, because you have to you
Speaker 2: have to move life over to the right and ah
Speaker 2: over to the right, which means you have to fill
Speaker 2: it in and then recarve it. And I said, all right,
Speaker 2: you'll pay for that, and you'll give me you'll give
Speaker 2: me money back because it's not going to look the same.
Speaker 2: He says, no, you have to pay for it. You
Speaker 2: didn't catch it. I said, listen. I still owed him
Speaker 2: the balance, right, and I had put down like twenty percent.
Speaker 2: I said, if you think I'm giving you the other
Speaker 2: eighty percent, I said, you can suck it. I'm not
Speaker 2: paying five hundred dollars for your mistake, even if I
Speaker 2: approved it. Let's say, how does you guys changed it?
Speaker 2: Your paperwork doesn't match what I mailed in, and the
Speaker 2: fact that you don't know that lifelong is one word
Speaker 2: that's on you. You You sent me this bullshit. It
Speaker 2: is even like a word doc. It's a fucking mimeograph thing.
Speaker 2: It's like hard behind. Yeah, I said, so if you
Speaker 2: want the other thousands of dollars I owe you, I said.
Speaker 2: Otherwise I'll eat my losses on the few hundred I
Speaker 2: gave you already, and I'll order it from somebody else.
Speaker 2: He said, well, I'll tell you what, I'll split it
Speaker 2: with you. Spliss you spit me. So now I'm out
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty whatever it is for you again
Speaker 2: for your mistake. He said, Well, you want this placed?
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, I want to place it, he said.
Speaker 2: I We're going to place it under your your you know,
Speaker 2: he said, But I got to hire a stone guy
Speaker 2: to refill it and chop it and fill it and
Speaker 2: cut it and the whole thing. I said, I will
Speaker 2: get it done, man, get it done. So he got
Speaker 2: it done. It looks about ninety four percent what it should. Okay,
Speaker 2: but now it's at least grammatic, he said to me.
Speaker 2: He says, as he said to me, scary. Now. Look,
Speaker 2: you know me, you can only imagine my mother and
Speaker 2: her family being, and your mom, who's a stickler for
Speaker 2: grammed How would my mother look down upon me if
Speaker 2: I left a fucking grammatical error in a ristin word
Speaker 2: on her headstone? Do you imagine every time I would
Speaker 2: get to go to see her by the Grammar Police jingle. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he says to me, no one's gonna notice. He says,
Speaker 2: you're being anal about it. Your family's not gonna notice.
Speaker 2: I said, my family is all ivy league graduated doctors
Speaker 2: and lawyers, no joke. You don't think they're going to
Speaker 2: notice that. And they're gonna think I didn't notice it.
Speaker 2: So now when I have the unveiling, I have to say, oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, there's a typo. But I didn't want
Speaker 2: to pay for it, right, I said, I can't just
Speaker 2: ignore it. I have to address it otherwise they're gonna think,
Speaker 2: how did David not notice that lifelong was two words?
Speaker 2: He doesn't that look slices. I don't expect you guys
Speaker 2: to know it. I'm not casting a spurs if you
Speaker 2: didn't know it. But I knew it. And a guy
Speaker 2: who makes headstones for a living, he must have seen
Speaker 2: the word lifelong before on a headstone. It's not an
Speaker 2: unusual word. Yeah, it's not like I got but califragilistic
Speaker 2: xpialadocious and he's like, wow, how do you spell that? Expialidocius?
Speaker 2: I would imagine people write the word lifelong on headstones
Speaker 2: all the times. This reminds me of that episode of
Speaker 2: uh of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was one of the
Speaker 2: first ones when uh uh. Someone on Larry's wife's side
Speaker 2: of the family died, a woman, I think it was
Speaker 2: the mom or something like that, and Larry was in
Speaker 2: charge of getting the obituary done, and you know, they wrote,
Speaker 2: you know, beloved aunt, you know, sister to this person, whatever,
Speaker 2: And then the newspaper comes and Larry walks into the
Speaker 2: room and they're all screaming and crying at the same
Speaker 2: time because they read the oh bit its head beloved cunt.
Speaker 2: But but it wasn't Larry's fault. Larry, he said, no,
Speaker 2: I said, if I put it into an I said,
Speaker 2: told you I wrote in there with the newspaper messed
Speaker 2: it up. It's all their fault. Okay. So now I
Speaker 2: said to I said to him, real quick, here's where
Speaker 2: I need your answer. I said to him, well, get
Speaker 2: it done. So he gets it done, he says, I
Speaker 2: I paid the guy. The headstone is placed. Here's a
Speaker 2: picture of it placed. Here's the repair. It looks pretty good.
Speaker 2: Like I said, ninety four percent. There's some shadowing you
Speaker 2: can tell, He says, I send me, send me your
Speaker 2: half of the money, whenever you have time. What would
Speaker 2: you do? Wow? Okay, so he's still he's still sticking
Speaker 2: with this. Yeah, yeah, what would you do? Because originally
Speaker 2: he said I'm not getting it done till you give
Speaker 2: me half. But then he says, I'm gonna be a
Speaker 2: good guy. I'm gonna get it done and you'll give
Speaker 2: me the money. When when you i'd walk away all together?
Speaker 2: Is that what you do? Well wait a second, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: well no, no, no, it's already placed, The headstone is
Speaker 2: at the cemetery. It's done. All right, walk away without
Speaker 2: paying him? S He says, what would you do? Leave
Speaker 2: us a talk back to the heart radio app hit
Speaker 2: the microphone. Would you still pay the guy who spelled
Speaker 2: a word wrong on your mother's headstone and tried to
Speaker 2: get you to pay half of it? No? No, because
Speaker 2: his answer is no. The answer is I will tell
Speaker 2: which I tell you next week? When I did tell
Speaker 2: us you after the break a commercial break? All right,
Speaker 2: Sari and Brody. If I know you, David Brody, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with an honest, principled man. You didn't pay it?
Speaker 2: You didn't pay a nickel. You think I didn't pay
Speaker 2: a man for doing the job. And you know how
Speaker 2: honest I am and how principled I am. You are correct, sir,
Speaker 2: you are correct. I know I am, because that's so you.
Speaker 2: He fucked up. He gave me something that was hard
Speaker 2: to read that I assume was correct, And then if
Speaker 2: you look at it, if I gave it to you, you'd say,
Speaker 2: it looks like there's like a like three centimeters more
Speaker 2: space between life and long than the other letters, especially
Speaker 2: since you said it was ninety four percent it wasn't
Speaker 2: where well no, no, no, no, no, now that it's fixed,
Speaker 2: it's one hundred. No, it's not it's it's it's like
Speaker 2: I said, it's because what happened is when you fill
Speaker 2: in the letters, you can sort of still see the
Speaker 2: outline with the letters got moved. I got you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well all right, well I don't know. I don't have
Speaker 2: to explain it to my family when they go and
Speaker 2: they're like, typo on them. That's the last place in
Speaker 2: cement in limestone. You want to have a spelling out, huh,
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question from Facebook? How do
Speaker 2: you spell cows? How do you spell cow? Sorry, he
Speaker 2: spoke cows in thirteen letters? In thirteen letters? Yeah? Another
Speaker 2: trick question here? How do you spell any time? I
Speaker 2: asked you a question? Is it a trick question? Just
Speaker 2: a question? How do you spell cow in thirteen letters?
Speaker 2: In thirteen letters? Yeah? You could also do it in
Speaker 2: seventeen letters? All right, I'm just gonna give up on
Speaker 2: this one. My brain hurts the same way you spelled
Speaker 2: it in the first letter c ow. Huh you write letters?
Speaker 2: It was it's a letter pun. Oh okay, that's if
Speaker 2: you write thirteen letters to thirteen people and you work.
Speaker 2: That's lame. Ok I know it's lame. But it popped
Speaker 2: up on my Facebook. Okay? Do I try to avoid Facebook? Oh?
Speaker 2: Speaking of Facebook, can I get share some Facebook shit
Speaker 2: with you? Please? You know I always have good Facebook
Speaker 2: shit always. He's got a scam? Is a scamboni? Not
Speaker 2: a scamboni? No, no, no, I scam I scamboni the
Speaker 2: nightclub I never told you guys about when we were
Speaker 2: in Spain. Oh, it's hysterical. But I encourage our slices
Speaker 2: to do this whenever, never they're in need and they
Speaker 2: need a last ditch effort to get into a place
Speaker 2: that they can't if that ever happens. All right, So
Speaker 2: I'm on Facebook and i'm I'm in a particular group
Speaker 2: of somebody of things you collect. It's a group of
Speaker 2: things that I collect that other people collect. Okay. A
Speaker 2: guy puts up a picture of a bunch of these
Speaker 2: collectibles and says for sale or trade, and a guy
Speaker 2: writes price in mind? Question mark Huh. The guy writes back,
Speaker 2: I'm not really open to offers, So I write, then,
Speaker 2: why are you saying there for sale? The man asked
Speaker 2: you what price you have in mind? You must have
Speaker 2: a price in mind if you want to sell them.
Speaker 2: What do you mean on open to offers? You're selling them?
Speaker 2: He has not responded back yet. What kind of deuce,
Speaker 2: writz I'm not open to offers, you're selling them the
Speaker 2: lowest common denominator of person. Sit. Okay, let me tell
Speaker 2: you another one that you have to help me out
Speaker 2: with on this umm waiting. I'm in a pizza group
Speaker 2: on Facebook and somebody asked this question, when you order
Speaker 2: a pizza half pepperoni or half any topping? Yeah, half
Speaker 2: meat pull half sausage, love it? No, no, shush? Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's fine, Yeah, does the place charge you for full
Speaker 2: topping on the whole thing? And if they do, do
Speaker 2: they give you double top on the half? No good?
Speaker 2: Which I would imagine that they would charge me for
Speaker 2: whatever sausage costs. I'll wait a second, I give me
Speaker 2: a susage. If it's sauce, sausage and every every topic
Speaker 2: is two fifty. Are they charging me a dollar twenty
Speaker 2: five and giving me the regular amount on half? Or
Speaker 2: they charging me to fifty and putting twice as much,
Speaker 2: or they charging me to fifty and just giving me
Speaker 2: half as much because I think, I think that the
Speaker 2: right thing to do is if it's two fifty a
Speaker 2: topping and I have two toppings on a whole pie
Speaker 2: half half, I still think it's too it's two fifty
Speaker 2: for the entire thing. Some places may charge your five
Speaker 2: dollars because you've chosen two toppings and not put on
Speaker 2: double the topping on that half. Yes, bullshit, right, but
Speaker 2: that is bullshit? But then okay, so yeah, you junk
Speaker 2: up the pie though if you put too much, I mean,
Speaker 2: how much sausage you gonna eat? Well, I'm gonna eat
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need a lot of sausage. If I'm paying
Speaker 2: for it, I'm gonna eat it. So this guy writes,
Speaker 2: you want to complicate the pizza I'm making for you,
Speaker 2: then you fucking pay for it. He writes, besides half pepperoni,
Speaker 2: question mark, All that pepperoni grease lenks onto the other side,
Speaker 2: and the whole thing tastes like pepperoni. Anyway, who orders
Speaker 2: half a pepperoni pie? I'll charge you double coming to
Speaker 2: my pizza shop with that's the order, which is just ignorance.
Speaker 2: I take it you won't be patronizing that that pizza.
Speaker 2: Stop that pizza place now, So I wrote, how is
Speaker 2: it ignorant or complicated unless a moron is running the
Speaker 2: pizza place. You're putting half as much, doing half the work.
Speaker 2: And who orders half pepperoni? A family that has people
Speaker 2: that don't like pepperoni, or vegetarians or people who want
Speaker 2: meat pulling another half? But his point is that it's
Speaker 2: already contaminated. Yeah, this is not uncommon, This is normal
Speaker 2: for pizza. You should just not be so surprised, he
Speaker 2: writes back. I would take a picture from my cat
Speaker 2: my security cameras of you and your family and politely
Speaker 2: let you know that one more visit to my shop
Speaker 2: is considered trespassing. You would be on the wall of
Speaker 2: shame behind the counter to ask it for half pepperoni. Hey,
Speaker 2: listen to his private establishment. He could do what he
Speaker 2: wants to do if he wants to lose customers over it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, of course he wants to lose customers over it.
Speaker 2: How about that? How about that? All right? I got more?
Speaker 2: I asked. I sold a couple of record albums, autographed
Speaker 2: record albums, Okay, that I have gotten over the minute.
Speaker 2: Is not redundant record albums, No, because I could have
Speaker 2: been a photo album. I have to specify what kind
Speaker 2: of album, Okay, not all records or albums, not all
Speaker 2: albums around. I think a record album. I think that
Speaker 2: that's a It's not, though, I just told you why
Speaker 2: it's not. If I say a record to an ATM machine,
Speaker 2: no record album, No, it's not a record. No. I
Speaker 2: just told you all records on albums and all albums.
Speaker 2: But so you sold records. I sold an LP, a
Speaker 2: twelve inch vinyl record. Say I was selling a record
Speaker 2: because it's an album, Because I could have sold a
Speaker 2: forty five. I'm telling you I sold an LP. Something
Speaker 2: I say no, I said, correctly, it's a record album,
Speaker 2: and I've never heard that in my life. Really, how
Speaker 2: many record albums has a band record album? Time? It's
Speaker 2: either an album or record, but not both. That's not true.
Speaker 2: Hold on his record album redundant? Yes, no, record album
Speaker 2: is not redundant because an album is a collection of songs,
Speaker 2: while a record is a format. For example, an album
Speaker 2: can be on CD. Yeah, but you could led you
Speaker 2: play in my record you know what. Let me get
Speaker 2: to the point, because you're wrong. Scary is wrong, Okay, Brody,
Speaker 2: So I needed some kind of shipping container now for
Speaker 2: your record albums. People make people make actual boxes to
Speaker 2: mail records, okay, because most boxes you get from Amazon
Speaker 2: are not big enough for wide enough record understore. They're
Speaker 2: too high you pay, Okay, they're specialized. I get it.
Speaker 2: So I wrote looking, and I capitalize the word local.
Speaker 2: This is in one of my local town's advice pages.
Speaker 2: Looking for a local all caps store that sells boxes
Speaker 2: to ship individual LPs mailers that you know for a
Speaker 2: fact sell them. I look for a local store that
Speaker 2: sells boxes to ship individual LPs that you know for
Speaker 2: a fact sells them. It's already too convoluted for anybody
Speaker 2: to understand. No, it's not for them for them to understand. Okay,
Speaker 2: here's what Brian had to say. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: Your best bet is to set up an account with
Speaker 2: you Linegranger Orzoro dot com, to which I wrote back,
Speaker 2: I appreciate your input, but I specifically ask for a
Speaker 2: local place. I'm looking to pick them up today and
Speaker 2: I only need one. All of those places selling packages
Speaker 2: of fifty. Then someone else wrote, have you tried Amazon
Speaker 2: dot com? This is what I get because you wouldn't
Speaker 2: think till if you were looking for something that could
Speaker 2: be mailed to you, you wouldn't think to go to
Speaker 2: Amazon dot com. Brody Right, Yeah, that's a great I
Speaker 2: wow Amazon show Amazon. WHOA what a great idea? Okay,
Speaker 2: I also want to give a shout out to Ruby, Underscore,
Speaker 2: Carrion c A R R I O N. Why am
Speaker 2: I giving them a shout out? Scary? Do you remember
Speaker 2: the military vet military vet of the game for the Mets,
Speaker 2: Seymour Wienerier. He's like ninety eight years old. He came
Speaker 2: on the field, they gave him an American flag, they
Speaker 2: honored him, and then he blew up on he blew
Speaker 2: up on on on social media. People love that his
Speaker 2: name is Seymour Wiener like that. That's a poor name, right,
Speaker 2: So they decide to do a special night at the

Speaker 2: is a picture of Seymour Wiener. They photoshopped a hot
Speaker 2: dog into his raised hand and it says April thirtieth,
Speaker 2: everyone loves a Wiener, and it says a Seymour Wiener
Speaker 2: approved message. Obviously he's getting paid for that, of course
Speaker 2: he is. He's not offended by it. No, they did
Speaker 2: Dollar hot Dog Knights. Of course. They normally sell something
Speaker 2: like ten thousand hot dogs at a baseball game, and
Speaker 2: they sold like one hundred thousand. God bless him. And
Speaker 2: let me guess some of the proceeds went to a
Speaker 2: good cause. I'm sure they did well whatever it is.
Speaker 2: But they used shown out to Ruby carry On Ruby
Speaker 2: Underscore Carrion. Oh we're making fun of veterans now, Oh

Speaker 2: ashamed of himself. So somebody wrote, you must be fun

Speaker 2: Scamboni jingle. It's the clever way. It's the clever way
Speaker 2: of beating the system. And you could apply this to
Speaker 2: any your own system. Yeah. So here I am in
Speaker 2: a foreign country and actually waiting for me to go first.
Speaker 2: It's a Saturday night. Okay, No, you go first. You
Speaker 2: said I'm waiting for you to do yours. I'm waiting still,
Speaker 2: okay at a jingle and then you start doing yours. Oh,
Speaker 2: Bookie Scamboni the Scamboni department. All right. You know I
Speaker 2: can probably have AI do a new Scamboni jingle. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's nothing better than that one. But I think that
Speaker 2: one's tops. It's maybe my favorite jingle on this entire podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, but that doesn't include the h slice time
Speaker 2: opening jingle. Right, No, I like this one better. Wow? Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, very good. I like this one better. Okay,
Speaker 2: So what happens? It was initially your idea? Yes, I
Speaker 2: got it produced and what it sounds the way it
Speaker 2: does because of memes. But you gotta give you sixty
Speaker 2: five thirty five on that one. Yeah, all right. So
Speaker 2: you know scary that I don't have a job right now.
Speaker 2: You also know that I'm dipping my foot in the
Speaker 2: water to figure out where I want to go next
Speaker 2: and what I want to do next. So I get
Speaker 2: a couple of text messages over the past week and
Speaker 2: a half from numbers that don't recognize Hello, I'm HR
Speaker 2: assistant Isabella from Wilson Group. Okay, I don't know what
Speaker 2: that is. I am contacting you for a job offer,
Speaker 2: not with a job offer, for a job offer like
Speaker 2: she wants me to send her a job offer, but
Speaker 2: her grammar's bad. Scary, I am contacting you for a
Speaker 2: job offer. Can I briefly share the job details here
Speaker 2: that seems legit. Oh yeah, they probably only need my
Speaker 2: social Security number. I would about to sit down. I
Speaker 2: would respond with your credit card. Yeah, And then I
Speaker 2: was like, wait a minute, that sounds like the job

Speaker 2: my door. Scary. Yeah, I'm a very popular person. I

Speaker 2: information related to this? Scary? I've got competition? Now they're
Speaker 2: fighting over me. They really are. Wait a minute, I
Speaker 2: got another one. Hi, this is Cassandra. I'd like to

Speaker 2: equally legitimate, very legit. I mean, one is as legitimate
Speaker 2: as the next. Where do I start? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I am contacting you for a job offer. Okay, that
Speaker 2: seems legitimate. You're not texting me from some foreign country,
Speaker 2: so they're not texting me like as a bot. Okay,
Speaker 2: so say did you did you right back to them. No,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out, you know, if I need
Speaker 2: to buy new clothing. I want to be prepared when
Speaker 2: they offer me the job. Yeah, you know, I'm doing
Speaker 2: my research on the company. I see, I see. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I gotta figure you see who Deli is on LinkedIn
Speaker 2: before I get back to her. So you got more
Speaker 2: scambonies those that's why I am dying now to hear
Speaker 2: your It's not even a scamboni. It's more of a
Speaker 2: way to just get into restaurants. Now, remember way back
Speaker 2: when when I needed to get into that restaurant in
Speaker 2: that Satanta in Atlanta. Yes, and I decided to call
Speaker 2: ahead to the five star hotel in town and talk
Speaker 2: to the concierge, tell them I'm on my way the
Speaker 2: next day. And uh, I was gonna concierge, I was
Speaker 2: gonna be there a day early. And then could you
Speaker 2: call this restaurant and get us into this restaurant we
Speaker 2: couldn't get into, and the and the hotel followed through
Speaker 2: got me into the restaurant. Yep. But yet I wasn't
Speaker 2: even checking into that hotel and it was all a
Speaker 2: lot hello in the order day verify if I was
Speaker 2: or not right, because the hotel is more clout than you.
Speaker 2: So we went to a hotel bar, a hotel and
Speaker 2: it had a bar, and the bar was the hot
Speaker 2: spot to be on the Friday night in Marbea, Spain.
Speaker 2: I mean, all the people were there. It was like
Speaker 2: an outdoor situation, drinking, people were hanging out. It was
Speaker 2: just it was a good vibe, seventy seven degree evening
Speaker 2: and we walk up to the front and then they
Speaker 2: tell us, sorry, you can't come in. I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: what's going on? Yeah, we're at capacity. And then me
Speaker 2: and told Darren look at each other. We're like, what
Speaker 2: the who? Tara told Darren. It looks at me and
Speaker 2: I look at toil Darren and I'm looking at them.
Speaker 2: We're like, dude, des room in there for us. Come on,
Speaker 2: they're just right. Second quarter of scary. And now this
Speaker 2: this was a restaurant bar, but it was part of
Speaker 2: a hotel or it had an affiliation to a hotel.
Speaker 2: So no I say this again, so I said Darren.
Speaker 2: I said, all right, let's just back up. Let's walk
Speaker 2: out of here. Let's where's the hotel front desk. So
Speaker 2: we walk around outside, around the path down the yellow
Speaker 2: brick road to the front of the hotel. It was
Speaker 2: about maybe a three minute walk to the front of
Speaker 2: the hotel. Okay, so you have to sit down and
Speaker 2: take a breath and walk exactly. We walked into the
Speaker 2: hotel and there was the concierge people, So I said Darren,
Speaker 2: before I approach him, look up the name of the
Speaker 2: general manager of this hotel. You know, the general manager
Speaker 2: is not on duty right now, it's Friday night. The
Speaker 2: person who runs the hotel has a nine to five
Speaker 2: cush job. Sure guaranteed you know it. And where did
Speaker 2: you look this up? LinkedIn? So Darren went on LinkedIn
Speaker 2: to the hotel the hotel website on LinkedIn and then
Speaker 2: looked and he goes, all right, looks like Orlando Pititiato
Speaker 2: is the general manager of this hotel. I made that
Speaker 2: or Orlando Pasiata Okay, great good, let's roll with that.
Speaker 2: Then we approached the concierge desk. I'm like, hi, how
Speaker 2: are you is Orlando Pitziato around, and then the concierge
Speaker 2: person goes, no, no, he's gone for the day. He
Speaker 2: leaves at six o'clock. Of course, is that what you
Speaker 2: turned it down and go Orlando went home already? Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: a whole bit going on, but do you believe it?
Speaker 2: He's not here? And then he's like, dude, he said
Speaker 2: he was gonna be here tonight, all right, listen, And
Speaker 2: then Darren's like, we got a problem. He goes, He goes, oh, no,
Speaker 2: he didn't say we got a problem. He said, okay, Well,
Speaker 2: Orlando Piziato was supposed to h show us the bar
Speaker 2: lounge called whatever whatever, the place we couldn't get in.
Speaker 2: I said, he was supposed to show it to us.
Speaker 2: He was supposed to hang. We were supposed to have
Speaker 2: some drinks with him. But I guess he's not here.
Speaker 2: This is a guy from a national radio program in
Speaker 2: the States. I mean, no need to go beyond that.
Speaker 2: So I didn't know he was going to use that
Speaker 2: as the excuse. I thought he was gonna just did
Speaker 2: he go on LinkedIn to verify you. I didn't wanted
Speaker 2: to use the radio bit, but he didn't have to
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy didn't know your plan is already.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know it Z one hundred days or elvis
Speaker 2: or anything. It didn't matter the podcast though, right, oh sure, yeah.
Speaker 2: But the idea, the spirit of it was that we
Speaker 2: were two guys on business. We were supposed to meet
Speaker 2: the general manager, Lando Orlando Piziato. Who I got Lando, Lando,
Speaker 2: Lando said, and he said, you know what, he's yeah,
Speaker 2: we're here on radio business. He was supposed to like, show,
Speaker 2: show my friend here the bar and have a drink
Speaker 2: or two. And he goes, oh, he goes and very
Speaker 2: quickly he assumed, he assumed like like they were in
Speaker 2: the wrong, right, because Orlando wasn't there. Sure, yea, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they're in the wrong. Now. We never
Speaker 2: said they were in the wrong for not being there,
Speaker 2: but he so he felt like he owed it to
Speaker 2: us to take care of us. He goes, oh, he goes, well,
Speaker 2: no problem. He goes. The bar is over there down
Speaker 2: the street, you know, down the path on the left.
Speaker 2: So then Darren's like, yeah about that. We approached the
Speaker 2: front and there was you know, they wouldn't let us
Speaker 2: in because they're over capacity. And then the concierge goes, oh,
Speaker 2: I'll help you out, no worries. The guy gets up
Speaker 2: from his concierge desk, walks us out the door around
Speaker 2: the path, goes right up to the front to where
Speaker 2: there are people. Now there's about twenty five people trying
Speaker 2: to get in and they're not letting anybody in her capacity.
Speaker 2: He goes to the guy. He goes, he talks in
Speaker 2: Spanish to him and he points him out, and then
Speaker 2: he goes, ah. He goes all right, He goes, walk
Speaker 2: this way, waves us on. He goes, you guys, she'll
Speaker 2: take care of smith. She'll take care of you. So
Speaker 2: go up to the woman at the front, says sys Hi.
Speaker 2: He goes yes. She goes, your guys are guests of
Speaker 2: Orlando Piciato, and I said yeah. She goes oh. She
Speaker 2: goes al, she goes, come on in, let me show
Speaker 2: you the place, and she starts tour. I'm like the
Speaker 2: bar area and this and that. She did everything except
Speaker 2: by us around the drinks. Oh, I see that wasn't
Speaker 2: part of his story. He said he's invited me to
Speaker 2: come down for drinks. Well, I didn't want to push it.
Speaker 2: All we cared about was access what we cared about
Speaker 2: was access. I don't care about a free drink. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to be that guy. Orlando said he'd get
Speaker 2: take the treatment. At the dinner, Darren was saying that
Speaker 2: after she walked away, he goes, dude, he goes, We
Speaker 2: could have totally did that, Orlando. Orlando told us to meet.
Speaker 2: You know, we were gonna We're gonna try the food
Speaker 2: because they got some new menu items. Orlando said he
Speaker 2: was gonna buy us a couple of drinks. They have
Speaker 2: a new cocktail at the bar. Anyway, we didn't do that.
Speaker 2: But the messages to the slices where there's a will,
Speaker 2: there's a way. When they say that you can't come
Speaker 2: in there overcapacity, they're lying. And if you say the
Speaker 2: right things, if you take a step back and take
Speaker 2: the path less traveled, and use your brain and do
Speaker 2: a little research on the computer in your pocket for
Speaker 2: a second, you may be able to accomplish your goal.
Speaker 2: And our simple goal was to get into a place
Speaker 2: that wasn't accepting people. That night, when people say to you,
Speaker 2: tell me about the Brooklyn Boys podcast, just you need
Speaker 2: to say it's funny and informative. Yeah, and informative. So
Speaker 2: I'll tell you a story, scary similar, but before LinkedIn
Speaker 2: and before the Internet. My wife and I had been married. No,
Speaker 2: there was an internet, but not like there is now.
Speaker 2: My wife and I had been married a couple of years,
Speaker 2: didn't have any kids at this point, and we went
Speaker 2: to a really nice hotel in Long Island. We just
Speaker 2: want to get away for the weekend. Beautiful hotel, beautiful
Speaker 2: near the water and golf course and spa. It was beautiful.
Speaker 2: And we saw when we were booking the room they
Speaker 2: have a hotel suite massive, sweet, and there's a there's
Speaker 2: a package deal. You rent out the honeymoon suite. Went
Speaker 2: to honeymoon, obviously, and they bring you food and chocolates
Speaker 2: and liquor. It's the whole big thing. Meals are included,
Speaker 2: the whole big package. So we go to check in.
Speaker 2: We didn't take the honeymoon sweet. We had a normal
Speaker 2: king sized bedroom and uh, I said, so that checking in,
Speaker 2: the guy says to my wife and what's uh what's
Speaker 2: your last name? And she says her maiden name. I
Speaker 2: go honey, and she was, I'm so sorry. We just
Speaker 2: got married. This is our honeymoon get away. I'm not
Speaker 2: even used to having his name anymore. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: We're both Brodie. But it's your honeymoon. Yeah yeah, well,
Speaker 2: you know we we had someone in the family. You know,
Speaker 2: we weren't able to go away for a honeymoon. This
Speaker 2: is all honeymoon weekend. We're so excited to come to
Speaker 2: your hotel and relax for the week I love to
Speaker 2: be it for the weekend. The guy says, it's you.
Speaker 2: It's your honeymoon, if you'll allow me, mister and missus Brodie, congratulations,
Speaker 2: we'd like to put you in the honeymoon suite. It's
Speaker 2: not it's not occupied right now. It's it's vacant for

Speaker 2: three years. Our marriage is kicking off on the right foot.
Speaker 2: This is so nice of you. We we you know,
Speaker 2: we're starting out. We're young couple. We never would have
Speaker 2: had the money to Oh my god, so amazing. We
Speaker 2: go up to the room, scary. There's bottles of liquor
Speaker 2: and baskets and chocolate all right, red carpet and and
Speaker 2: it's like you know it's a four poster bed with
Speaker 2: the overhead thing with your post. Oh it's amazing. It
Speaker 2: wasn't our honeymoon, of course not. It's like when you
Speaker 2: go to a restaurant like it's my birthday. Oh, free
Speaker 2: dessert your birthday. They don't ask for your driver's license.
Speaker 2: So we got the honeymoon sweet because we played it
Speaker 2: like it was we just got married. These are the
Speaker 2: permissible lies. I like that. Yeah, hudos to my wife.
Speaker 2: Oh man, So so do you want my cheese pizza
Speaker 2: fight story or my problem my three Asian related problem.
Speaker 2: We already had the pizza. We did a pizza thing earlier.
Speaker 2: Then I'll hold off on the pizza. I get into
Speaker 2: you and and and levels and levels. The first one
Speaker 2: is I went to a chain restaurant. You've been to
Speaker 2: this chain restaurant? Scary? They have them in like strip malls,
Speaker 2: shopping malls and food courts. They used to have one
Speaker 2: a Great Adventure six legs Great Adventure, New Jersey. I
Speaker 2: don't want to say the name, but let's just say
Speaker 2: the title is like a panda. This is quick, right.
Speaker 2: They may or may not have been a client of mine.
Speaker 2: Recently on the radio, Panda, Quick Panda continue. Okay, So
Speaker 2: back in the day, you'd go in and they had
Speaker 2: steam tables of food and it was like boneless ribs
Speaker 2: and Asian chicken, which was like big pieces of chicken
Speaker 2: and sauce, and they had different things. And then it
Speaker 2: was like General Chow's chicken, which is breaded and fried.
Speaker 2: But I would always get the chicken, which was like
Speaker 2: white meat chicken and a sauce, and I would get
Speaker 2: the boneless ribs, and I might get the beef, which
Speaker 2: was you know, it's like beef and like beef and peppers.
Speaker 2: I eat red peppers, so I was like, I get
Speaker 2: that the beef stroke it off. Nope, that's you. Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I stopped at the Quick Panda place. Oh the shaking beef. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I stopped off at the Quick Panda place. And the
Speaker 2: menu is completely different. Now there's no You go to
Speaker 2: the drive through and it's like, yep, fried orange chicken,

Speaker 2: a different sauce. Of course. Well I'm already to drive through.
Speaker 2: When I'm craving it, I'm like, how you know, I
Speaker 2: used to love this place, the old the old Quick
Speaker 2: Panda place. Uh huh. So I get the I go,
Speaker 2: I get the drive t I get to the window enough.
Speaker 2: First of all, I get to the Quick Panda place,
Speaker 2: and the guy working there is actually Asian, which is
Speaker 2: a rarity and a drive through. Wow, okay, okay, this
Speaker 2: guy eats the out of food. Be good. I haven't
Speaker 2: had the new menu. I get all the items. I
Speaker 2: pull over to make sure that they didn't put vegetables
Speaker 2: in my shit, you know, and they did put veg.
Speaker 2: You can't order no vegetables, so I had to like
Speaker 2: see like if there was a lot. I had picked
Speaker 2: the vegetables out before I could eat it. So I
Speaker 2: pull over and I start eating every single piece of food. Scary.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure there was chicken or beef other than
Speaker 2: there was fried bread with sauce on it. It was
Speaker 2: like crispy crust. That is a scambony. Don't pretend to
Speaker 2: be a cheap knockoff fast food. Chinese restaurant and live
Speaker 2: up to it by giving me the crispiest, thinnest lack
Speaker 2: of chicken ninety breading yeah I've ever had in my life. Yeah. No, good,
Speaker 2: that's bad. So I'm not saying every location is this way,
Speaker 2: but this location they were breading bread. They were breading
Speaker 2: bread and putting sauce on it. Bread on bread. Let's
Speaker 2: put old. So would not be happy to have his
Speaker 2: bread over bread over bread at the place. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to mention the name of right, it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2: And I know you have a couple more of these,
Speaker 2: But I just look for protein forward places to eat.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, yeah, I'm a sucker for a
Speaker 2: good pasta or some pizza here and there and some
Speaker 2: bread and fried something meal I have. I need protein.
Speaker 2: I need a meat. I need a piece of fish.
Speaker 2: And that's why you chicken. I need a piece of chicken.
Speaker 2: I need But what would you say that? But you're
Speaker 2: an asshole? Stop it? Okay, all right, I should I
Speaker 2: heard what you said. No you didn't, But it's true though,
Speaker 2: it really is. It's like and people should strive for
Speaker 2: that if they could, you know, you know, But I'm
Speaker 2: the best chicken, chicken chicken false advertising. Yeah, I can't
Speaker 2: stand so's bread. I hate carbs on, carbs on, carbs. Oh,
Speaker 2: I can't unless I want a good slice of pizza.
Speaker 2: Different story. Yeah, but then that Okay. Do you eat
Speaker 2: beg ZD Pizza? No? Because somebody put up a picture
Speaker 2: in this pizza group. I mean, like, have you ever
Speaker 2: had a big Z on a pizza? No? Like, why
Speaker 2: would you put carbs on carbs? Like do you have
Speaker 2: have a chicken colon sandwich that's breaded? It's carbs on bread.
Speaker 2: You put at least his chicken in there. There's no
Speaker 2: redeeming quality to ZD pizza. It's carbs on, carbs on,
Speaker 2: carbs on. This did not happen to me. But my
Speaker 2: friend wanted Japanese food, but he was at work, so
Speaker 2: he texted his wife, this is the Japanese food I want.
Speaker 2: And one of the items he wanted, which he texted
Speaker 2: his wife that he didn't know how to spell, was
Speaker 2: beef negamaki. Sca, you've had beef megamaka? Of course, it
Speaker 2: looks like a sushi roll, but it's cooked beef in
Speaker 2: a roll with scallions in the middle. Right, it's basically,
Speaker 2: it's a wonderful role. It's amazing. It's basically like Chinese
Speaker 2: pepper steak, but twice as much money for the same thing.
Speaker 2: It's fully cooked and rolled. But it's called nagamaki, and
Speaker 2: you eat it like you eat it like sushi with chopsticks,
Speaker 2: because it's it's in sushi format. Course, there's nothing sushi
Speaker 2: about it other than that's correct. The the the shape right.
Speaker 2: So my friend, my friend texts his wife and says,
Speaker 2: I would like, uh sashimi, I would like this, I'd
Speaker 2: like and I'd like an order of beef negamaki. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 2: it auto corrected because he didn't type it right to Nagasaki.
Speaker 2: If you don't know, Nagasaki is one of the two
Speaker 2: cities in Japan that America dropped nuclear bombs on, so
Speaker 2: it auto corrects to Nagasaki, which, if you were being
Speaker 2: a dick or being offensive to Asian people, you'd make
Speaker 2: a Nagasaki joke. You might be in a restaurant going right,
Speaker 2: you would never do that. Well, my friend's wife did
Speaker 2: not catch the auto correct and she called in the
Speaker 2: order and said, I'd like one order a beef Nagasaki,
Speaker 2: to which the guy replied fuck you and hung up
Speaker 2: on her. Oh no, oh man, he wouldn't. He couldn't
Speaker 2: give her the benefit of the doubt that he made. Sure,
Speaker 2: what is it you want? And she said, I want
Speaker 2: to order a beef Nagasaki large, a large Nagasaki And
Speaker 2: he said he said fuck you when he hung up
Speaker 2: on her. I mean, innocent mistake. Yeah, but you basically
Speaker 2: or it's like a prank call. She sounded like she
Speaker 2: was prank calling him. Yeah, I don't know, man, I
Speaker 2: think the guy just he jumped the gun on that one.
Speaker 2: He shouldn't have. He should have reacted that way, especially
Speaker 2: since I mean he's you gotta give her some of
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt. You gotta assume that they're
Speaker 2: not your thought. Yeah. Right. So here's my third problem
Speaker 2: with the Asian theme. Scary. What is it you call
Speaker 2: the Asian psych out? You've said this on the radio, yeah,
Speaker 2: or the It's it's like if I see, if I
Speaker 2: see a person who's Asian and they, let's say, speak
Speaker 2: British or a Pacific islander or an Indian, you know,
Speaker 2: a Pacific and you see somebody of that nature, and
Speaker 2: then they're talking with an Italian accent. It's like when
Speaker 2: when the visual doesn't match the audio, what's coming, what
Speaker 2: you would assume? And of course we we know better
Speaker 2: these days. Okay, thanks for bringing up my past. Okay,
Speaker 2: now that might have been a twenty year old thing
Speaker 2: that I that I observe you. Yeah, you would never
Speaker 2: say that now. So I'm I'm at a retail establishment
Speaker 2: with a very long counter with registers. I'd say the
Speaker 2: whole count is like maybe thirty feet wide. And I'm
Speaker 2: at register one returning a couple of items, and my
Speaker 2: receipt is crinkled like it and it's faded from my pocket,
Speaker 2: and she can't scan the bar code to do the returns.
Speaker 2: So she says, I got to get my manager to
Speaker 2: help with this. I said. She goes, but I can't
Speaker 2: leave the register. I said, well, can you page the manager? Nope,
Speaker 2: I can't page the manager because you know, the paging
Speaker 2: system isn't working. Okay, I said, all right, well I'll wait.
Speaker 2: Can you pause the transaction and take the next customer?
Speaker 2: I said, what's your manager's name? She says, well, my
Speaker 2: manager's name is Asia. I said, I well, I'll go
Speaker 2: try to find Asia, and uh, you know, I'll help
Speaker 2: you out. He says, oh, you see those those two
Speaker 2: women over there? She goes, my manager's over there, so
Speaker 2: I said, she goes, could you just talk to them
Speaker 2: and see if she'll come over. I said, yep, at
Speaker 2: least I could do. So I look over there as
Speaker 2: two women. There's a black woman and an Asian woman. Okay,
Speaker 2: and I walk up to the Asian woman. I said,
Speaker 2: excuse me, I'm trying to do a return, and the
Speaker 2: girl at the register said, uh, I needed to get
Speaker 2: her manager. So I'm looking for Asia. I assume that's you,
Speaker 2: to which the Asian girl saw, My goodness, the Asian
Speaker 2: girl says to me, my name's not Asia, it's Julie.
Speaker 2: And the black woman says, how can I help you?
Speaker 2: I mean again, honest mistake. I I you know I
Speaker 2: she pointed. I saw the woman. She had keys on
Speaker 2: her I thought like she must be the manager, Like, oh,
Speaker 2: are you Asia? I was told to go get Asia,
Speaker 2: so of course I see a woman with a with
Speaker 2: a keys on her belt. I assume she's the manager.
Speaker 2: So I A you Asia. I'm not Asia. Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Now I told the story to someone. They were like,
Speaker 2: why would you assume an Asian person had the name Asia.
Speaker 2: I I don't know. I legitimately have a friend named
Speaker 2: Christian who's Christian Christian, So why would I assume the
Speaker 2: Asian girl maybe his her name is in Asia. I
Speaker 2: wasn't a Sinua, she was born in Asia. I didn't
Speaker 2: I didn't ask how she spelled her name. It could
Speaker 2: have been a ja like the Steely Dan album. I thought.
Speaker 2: I thought. I thought that they were then going to
Speaker 2: follow up with oh what you didn't? You're a racist.
Speaker 2: You didn't think that I could be her manager, you know,
Speaker 2: because you went over you. No, I didn't know. It
Speaker 2: was not about that. It was you know that I
Speaker 2: assume the Asian girl was Asian? Right? You did? So
Speaker 2: you can't you can't win, you can't win well, but
Speaker 2: would you have made that mistake? Would you have? Like
Speaker 2: two hundred? I assumed that girl. She's like, there's my
Speaker 2: manager right there, but my manager is Asia. Well, so
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, she's got the keys, she must be
Speaker 2: the manager. I'm like, hi, are you Asia? What I'm like,
Speaker 2: She's like, am I Asian? Are you Asian? Julie like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not Asia. You assume my name is Asia because
Speaker 2: I'm Asian, doesn't look but no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: she said. Yeah. I was like, no, I'm Asia, but
Speaker 2: why are you name it a black girl Asia? She's yeah,
Speaker 2: so well that was her. You know. I meant, Now
Speaker 2: that I think about it more, it does make sense,
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, yeah, you fucked up, you fucked up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it was but again, no harm, no foul. This
Speaker 2: is no, there was no more harm. There wasn't mal
Speaker 2: no harm, wasn't mal intended, right, I was basing. I
Speaker 2: was like Google, yeah, yeah, so so yeah, there you
Speaker 2: have it nice. There, you have it all right. We
Speaker 2: gotta get out of here. Yeah, so be listen slices.
Speaker 2: Before we get out of here, I've given you some assignments.
Speaker 2: I asked you about the pizza toppings. I asked you
Speaker 2: what you should how you should be paid or charged? Uh,
Speaker 2: asked I'm asking you to leave a talk back if
Speaker 2: it was blatant I was wrong, and asked if the
Speaker 2: Asian girls Asia. There's a lot you can talk about
Speaker 2: when you leave talkbacks for slice time, you know, comment
Speaker 2: on what we're talking about, comment on scaries. Tip of
Speaker 2: the day on how to study what scams. Stop fighting
Speaker 2: with each other what scams have you you pulled that
Speaker 2: worked for you that you could share what right? And
Speaker 2: and you know, a lot of this is becoming very
Speaker 2: much inside the inside jokes like if you didn't catch
Speaker 2: two slice times ago when this person ranked out that
Speaker 2: person or said that, yeah, and nobody knows, but nobody
Speaker 2: knows what you're talking about. But wait, we could also
Speaker 2: I would love some new slices to leave some some
Speaker 2: you know, well, I'm sorry slices to leave some who
Speaker 2: haven't left talkbacks yet use radio app, join in on
Speaker 2: the phone, just click the microphone. But it really needs
Speaker 2: I need you guys your opinion on this stuff. So
Speaker 2: I needed to you know, actually, you know, one last
Speaker 2: departing And by the way, nobody responded to my call
Speaker 2: out when I said, would anyone be interested in doing
Speaker 2: like live streaming the episodes with us in the chat
Speaker 2: room for like a nominal fee? Not one person responded yeah,
Speaker 2: but that means that means uh, they don't could have
Speaker 2: hung out and could have interacted for two hours, but
Speaker 2: they wanted for free ninety nine. Well, I can't always
Speaker 2: do it. I got to pay for the platform. So
Speaker 2: uh so I did help our friend Cheryl different Cheryl
Speaker 2: uh not the and that was on the last episode
Speaker 2: who I'm now the godfather of her son? Right. I
Speaker 2: helped Cheryl clean out her garage and she was doing
Speaker 2: a garage show. Some of the stuff went to charity,
Speaker 2: some of the stuff got thrown out, and some of the
Speaker 2: things got put in a separate section for Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 2: So one of the things that was up for sale
Speaker 2: for Facebook Marketplace was this metal, old school slot machine Brodie.
Speaker 2: It's got the real actual working reels and makes noise
Speaker 2: and you pull this the lever on the side, and
Speaker 2: it's a really cool items. It's like a mini slot machine.
Speaker 2: It's like a tabletop slot machine. And as we were
Speaker 2: leave it, I'm like, oh my god, that's a cool
Speaker 2: slot machine. What are you going to sell that for?
Speaker 2: And she goes you like it? I said, yeah, she
Speaker 2: just take it. And I'm like, Cheryl, I can't, I mean,
Speaker 2: you're She goes, yeah, my grand my grandmother gave it
Speaker 2: to my dad and my dad passed away, and you
Speaker 2: could have it. I was just gonna put it up
Speaker 2: online and just sell it on Facebook Marketplace. But you
Speaker 2: can have it. I felt so guilty walking away with
Speaker 2: it because I'm I'm like, wait a second, this is
Speaker 2: like now profits out of her pocket. Do I owe
Speaker 2: her money? Do I am? I supposed to pay the
Speaker 2: you know what she was going to charge for it online,
Speaker 2: and I said, how much are you gonna put it
Speaker 2: up for? She wouldn't tell me. How's so much she
Speaker 2: was gonna list it for? Well, let me, I said,
Speaker 2: I said, I want to venmo you at least half.
Speaker 2: That's a fair question. Let me ask you a similar
Speaker 2: question slices and you can leave a talk back. Scary
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago asked me if I wanted
Speaker 2: to sell his old Apple computer that he said was
Speaker 2: a clunker that he replaced. You got a brand new
Speaker 2: spit shining machine. I said, I don't know. I gotta
Speaker 2: figure what it's worth. I listed see what it is,
Speaker 2: what the model number is, whatever. So then the guess today,
Speaker 2: he goes, you know what, it's old, I'll just give
Speaker 2: it to you now. Similar. Actually that's exactly that. That's
Speaker 2: a great analogy. So it's to say, if Scary owes
Speaker 2: the money for the slot machine, do I owe him
Speaker 2: many money for the computer? He said, yeah, I give
Speaker 2: it to you. It's probably not worth much, so scary. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you get to keep the slot machine, then I
Speaker 2: get your computer. Seems fair. You're not gonna get an
Speaker 2: argument out of me. I told you can have a
Speaker 2: free okay, then the slot machine's yours done, all right?
Speaker 2: See that word. It's a win win. You're got a
Speaker 2: slot machine, so scary. That's what I'm gonna do. Only
Speaker 2: only you weren't part of this initial equation. Oh I
Speaker 2: was actually before that equation. You offered it to me before,
Speaker 2: and I said, I thought, you'll do I gain a
Speaker 2: slot machine, to lose a computer, and then you get
Speaker 2: my computer. But what do you lose? I don't lose anything.
Speaker 2: Cheryl's Cheryl's out the slot machine. That's not my problem.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Brody, this sounds a little weird to me. Well,
Speaker 2: maybe i'll give Cheryl like an old microphone or something.
Speaker 2: I'll figure it out. I speaking of, I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: an extra microphone because I'm gonna install the gold one
Speaker 2: next week. Oh, maybe I want to give me that one.
Speaker 2: Boys choice
