WEBVTT - #142: Jiggle It... Just A Little Bit 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:07.080 Start uf dot up, start up, Brooklyn buy start up, 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:15.360 Brooklyn buys uf dat up. They're making noise data dot up. 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.720 Some people make more more noise than others. It's episode 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.800 of the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Look mean, what does that mean? 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:28.280 That's what I mean? What do you mean some people 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.519 make more noise than others? Who's making more noise? You 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:38.160 always your your studios set up is hilarious. We're about 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.760 to start recording and all of a sudden, nice stage. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.520 Let me set this right here. Brodie's in his basement 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.479 right now. Out of here. I'm like, what the hell 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.320 is that. I'm about to hit the record, but we 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.599 just spent fifteen minutes trying to get the perfect audio. Yeah, 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.800 and all of a sudden and he goes, oh, that 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.000 somebody flushing the toilet. I'm like, we won't set the stage. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.640 We'll just talk about what is going on in your house. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.160 Already talked about it. You mean, somebody takes it dump 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.119 and then they hit the flush button and the dump 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.039 along with all the dirty water, goes through a pipe 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.800 that's probably six inches from your head. I didn't say 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.760 it was six inches from my head. Listen, when you 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.639 live in a house, where do you think the pipes 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.760 are You think it goes out out like it just disappears. Dude, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.360 I don't go somewhere. I don't have these problems because 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.319 I live in an apartment. I don't know. You have 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.360 a one one bedroom apartment where you have you live, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.039 people are above you and below you, so the pipes 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.720 are in your wall. You're right, okay, But when you 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.399 live in a house, right, there's toilets and bathrooms and rooms, 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.600 oh my, on different levels. Yeah. So I'm in the basement, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.120 so the piping has to go underneath the house. So 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.760 in order to get there, it has to go through 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.320 the walls. I just find it fascinating that someone somewhere 0:01:54.320 --> 0:02:00.840 in your house is is excreting bodily fluids. Joe, my family, 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.480 what they're doing. I know they could have thrown tissues 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.680 in the toilet. It was and they touched and they 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.600 and they hit the flusher and then it literally flies 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.400 across your head. And get the audio. The sound goes 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.760 on to anything. It didn't say anything about flying across 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:19.080 my head. Hearing a pipe about ten feet away in 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.120 the corner behind the finished wall, right, God forbat that 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.320 pipe burst. It would fly out all everywhere. Okay, but 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.560 that's the same for any pipe anywhere in the world. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.520 Would I just find it fascinating. I just find it amazing. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.960 We're recording up. I never lived that. You're you're, you're, 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.359 however many years old you are. You've never lived in 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.320 a house. I've never lived in a house. I have 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.200 lived in a house. And yeah, you live lived in 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.800 a two family house. Yeah, attatched, attached brick, two family houses, 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.480 like a short apartment building. That's a typical mouse. No, 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.400 that's your typical blue collar family growing up in Brooklyn. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:59.880 Attached brick. And when we flushed toilets, they went, yeah, yeah, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.000 they go, we couldn't hear it because we didn't live basement. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.840 We have a basement, right, because you lived in a 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.120 stubby apartment building. That's what you did. You lived in 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.840 an apartment building where you had two floors. Someone lived 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.560 under you and someone lived next to you. That is 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.960 the that is the That's like dipping your toe in 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.560 the pool in the pool of houses. Why why you man? 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.680 But I lived in an apartment house not far from 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.080 where you grew up, and all the only thing you 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.720 had was a staircase and another room. That's it. But 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.360 you didn't. You still had a neighbor on your other 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.160 side of your wall. You had a neighbor underneath you, right, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.840 But we weren't hearing each other's ship fly by in 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.320 a pipe. Nothing flew by. There was no sound of ship. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.520 There was water going by in a pipe. Oh my god. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.400 But it carries, it carries the crap with it, doesn't 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.280 It isn't that health toilets work by. I don't know 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.160 what was in that particular flush. I could have been 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.120 thrown out makeup cotton balls. But I just would tell 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.840 you that I'm thinking, if you're we're recording our podcast, 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.920 we just captured, we almost captured the sound of whatever 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.920 was being flushed fly by your face. What a terrible 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.240 loss for the listeners. Hey, do you have a garbage 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.800 shoot in your hallway? I do? Okay. So for those 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.440 of you never lived in an apartment building, what happens 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.599 is some buildings have one or two on a floor 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.640 in an apartment building, and you open um like a mailbox, 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.200 like a big mailbox door, and it's an opening to 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.480 a shoot, and you throw your garbage into the shoote 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.880 and it drops all the way down to the basement 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.440 where some places it's a giant bin and they take 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.919 it away. Some places it's a compactor and they crush it. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.200 Those buildings tend to have bugs. But what I'm saying 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.359 is I don't choose to do my podcast next to 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.839 one of the post. What I'm saying is or it 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.880 falls into an incinerator and gets burned. Those are the 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.200 best right there. But when you open that shoot up, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.800 sometimes the person on the floor above you throws their 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.800 crap and mildew and awfulness down the shoot where it 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.279 almost hits you. Right, if you time it right with 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.960 it throwing out that crap, you're crap at the same time. Yes, right, 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:07.680 you might get hit with it as it goes down 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.960 to shoot because you only bag gets stuck, so you're 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.160 pushing your bag to get it unstuck and your arm 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.240 goes into the shoot area for half a second and 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.040 the bag hits you. Right. These things happen living in 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.560 an apartment, right, that's what happens. Well, the odds of 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.480 that are slim to none. I've lived in an apartment 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.800 the last twenty years and that's never that has never happened. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.920 But the odds of a pipe bursting a giant It's 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.120 about a ten inch diameter pipe that's made of PVC, right, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.200 PC in a burst? All right, you can't. I don't understand. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:41.520 It's water, none, nothing amazed. I just you choose to 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.120 do the podcast ten feet away from this activity. I'm 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.200 just saying I don't. I don't sit in the in 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.080 the in the first floor of my building and say 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.760 it looks I'm gonna hit the I'm gonna hit the 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.760 record button on the podcast and all of a sudden, 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:57.719 like garbage bags start falling down. Okay, we've done six 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.359 months of podcasts here in the basement, right, that's the 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.640 first time anyone has flushed the toilet. Well, so in 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.560 six months we can talk about this again. I'm not 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.159 offended by it, but I'm just gonna say, I you know, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.440 it was the it was coincidence. What are the odds 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.520 that that was happening? We almost captured it. But I 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.159 will tell you this though, all this talk ten minutes 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.120 before setting up this podcast to get the perfect sounding 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:25.680 audio has not paid off. It sounds like but okay, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.880 I raised it again. Why did you do that? Because 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.719 the headphones are too long and I can't hear you. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.400 But that may have been a good thing. I'm gonna 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.440 want to go back to I'm gonna wreck to thirty 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.479 now we're at thirties. That better. Yeah, and just yeah, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.679 And just for those people who hit me up. Hub 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.400 Hubby on Twitter hits me up and he's like, I 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.000 don't know, scary your system all that money you paid 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.920 for it sounds like ship because I keep hearing you 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.600 and I'm gonna and I'm gonna tell you, Hubby the 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.080 way I said, I'm a previous episode as we do 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.599 this live test right now in front of everybody, that 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.680 when I turned Brodie's mike off like that, all the 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:10.200 noise goes away. You hear how you can Let's just 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.000 hear a pin drop for a second. Listen. Okay, I'm 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.000 gonna turn Brodie's mycon. Listen if you can hear the 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:22.080 process of me turning Brodie's mycon. Oh no, he turned 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.320 his mic off. See no I didn't there it is 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:32.200 on off. Yeah, that's because you have faulty equipment. Because 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.800 my feed into your equipment over the over the over 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.240 the system we use your feed over the internet is 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.000 a problem on your end. Your feed speaking to feed feed. Oh, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.440 I wanted to get fed on Monday Labor Day. Labor 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.640 Day was a holiday. I'm just gonna be boogey boy. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.160 Problems go ahead, No, this is very quick. I wanted 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.280 I just wanted your opinion on this. Brodie, Alright, it's fine, okay. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.280 Don't you feel that holiday Monday's should be treated as 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:01.440 Sunday's not just for food, but for every facet of life. 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.960 And don't answer just yet. But here's why Brodie's calling 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.920 me bougee because he thinks I'm gonna talking about brunch. 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.320 But the truth of the the matter is if most of 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:14.080 America is waking up on Monday, Labor Day and they 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.400 had the day off, and forget about those who say 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.720 saying right now, I didn't have the day off. Okay, 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.120 specifically talking to people who have had the day off 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.440 on a weekday on Monday, don't you think restaurants specifically 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.840 should have had the foresight to say, I'm gonna put 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.400 out my normally Sunday brunch menu where we do like 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.520 ten am to four pm brunch all day because you're 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.760 not in the it's not a week day. Why why 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.800 did't you say restaurants specifically, as if gas stations have brunch. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:47.040 I'm talking about restaurants, diners, anything family. You know the 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.840 theme the chain play, and I know the chain places. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.760 You're like, I don't know what you're talking about. Ida, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.320 I go to Denny's, I go to you know, I 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.160 go to Eyehop and they do breakfast all day. I'm 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.680 not talking about those establishments. I'm talking about places that 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.120 have a clear breakfast, lunch, and a dinner. Maybe you've 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.800 stayed at a hotel before or whatever it is. So 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.960 I went into Brooklyn, and the level of stupidity. I 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.559 love you Brooklyn has Brooklyn in the podcast, but the 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.559 level of stupidity is just loud and and and and 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.480 it's ringing in my ear. This is how bad it was. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.720 Because I went to six different places just trying to 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.880 get at noon on Monday, a holiday that really feels 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.720 like a Sunday, but it was a Monday. I tried 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.880 to get breakfast and they're like, every one of these 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.839 places brody, but like, no, sorry, we've moved on to lunch. Now. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.280 That's great during the week. If it was a regular weekday, 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.680 people are working and maybe you do a breakfast, a lunch, 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.560 a lunchtime menu, and then at dinner but good God, man, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.920 good God, you didn't know one. No one wants to 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.920 improve their business and get more profit. I couldn't be 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.120 the only one that didn't want to eat freaking when 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.120 I woke upuple in Brooklyn, except for the boogie part 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.520 that's near Manhattan, that's not the part of brook I 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.000 went to, right, you went to our part of brook 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.040 Our part. Our part of Brooklyn doesn't know from Brunch, 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.320 Bay Ridge and Benton Hurt. There's no brunch in that area. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.119 There's only three meals in our old neighborhood, fucking breakfast, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.480 fucking lunch, and fucking dinner and then maybe like a 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.040 fucking snack later. Those are the four meals brunch. Nobody 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.480 does brunch or give me a mimosa. People in Brooklyn 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.000 don't have mimosas. Okay, I understand what I just living 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.360 in I wanted eggs. I just wanted eggs day. That 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.319 felt like a Sunday to me because Donalds was on McDonald's. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.480 It's a breakfast all day. Now, you know, I don't understand. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.679 Did you want did you want to first of all, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.240 clear this up. Did you want breakfast late or did 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.280 you want brunch? Because brunch is a completely different thing. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:47.600 Brunches like buffet style guy making omelets. Uh, you know 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.800 the tables full of food. That's bunch. I was so 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.000 desperate I wanted either breakfast or brunch. I just gotten 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.840 out of bed early. I wanted eggs. And I'm like, now, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.679 normally places would have that if it was on Sunday 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.719 morning at that same time. That's your mother. Your mother 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.280 should have made you eggs. You're right by your mom's house. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.600 Weren't you staying at your mom's that same that That's 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.840 neither here nor there. I'm just telling you couldn't make 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.680 some eggs. Dad couldn't. I don't want to be sexist. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.880 Dad couldn't make some eggs today. I'm I'm making eggs 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.480 this Monday. I'm just today. Well, that's exactly it. It's 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.520 it's it's just when I sat there and I said, hey, 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.360 where's your brunch man? You've seen it online, and they're like, yeah, 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.160 that's Saturdays and Sundays. But today's Monday to a holiday Monday, 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.480 which is Sunday, okay, but people aren't trained to have 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.000 brunch on a Monday, which, by the way, is Labor Day, right, 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.440 it's the day you want labor beas, like, why don't 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:39.920 you go in the back and work on an omelet 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.480 for me? Wow, it's a day to celebrate the American worker, 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.679 not not give them the day off. Like, wh what 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.760 if a place chooses to be open, they should be 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.280 just I'm just saying, just would you have to put 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.439 extra people on for brunch? You don't? Did you want 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.600 brunch and you just wanted a late at a late egg. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.319 I wanted a late egg or brunch. Whatever came first, 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.000 the late egg or the brunch. That's an age old 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.680 question which came first? Which came first? The late egg 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.600 over the brunch. I just feel like you're in the 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.080 wrong neighborhood. I just feel like if you're in the 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.880 boonies of like Arkansas and no friends Arkansas. I'm just 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.520 thinking of a place that has, like, you know, rural areas. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.800 You're like, you're going out and there's a farmhouse. You're like, 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.480 I want brunch. They're not gonna give you a brunch. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.720 Benson Hurst, Brooklyn is the least brunchy place in the North. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.600 They should have given me a late egg. I should 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.200 have had at least pancakes, wash cracked an egg over 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.199 your head for even asking you want brunch. Whatever. It 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.559 didn't have to be fancy Brodie, It just I All 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.480 I asked for is this pancake waffle um action two 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.160 hours after I woke up on a holiday and cleaning 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.599 the griddle. They shouldn't be the waffle maker. Nobody was 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.520 ordering lunch on a on a holiday Monday. I'm just saying, 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.400 all right, which leads, by the way that at that 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.760 when we finally we settled, we had lunch at a 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.520 place that offered brunch if it was Sunday, but it 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.000 was Monday. You follow so far and and led to 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.840 a scamboni. And I know you have one too, so 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:09.400 we might as well just do that right here, all right? Yeah, 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.439 unearthed this while I was sitting there forced into eating lunch. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.960 We are we back to back, scarying Go ahead, well 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.520 it was it was at the same place. And then 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:20.719 and I want and then I want you to talk 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.600 about your scamboni. This is I got a problem going. Yeah, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.880 but maybe you can help with this one. Check this out. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.480 I couldn't help with the last one that you know 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.199 you certainly couldn't you. All you can do is to 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.040 add to the flame to the fire. And yell at 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.600 me for no reason. So there was a scamboni at 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.920 the restaurant because because we we couldn't find the brunch 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.080 or breakfast. So the guy gave me two menus. He goes, well, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.040 not only do we have lunch, but we also have 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.680 our dinner as well. We'll give you that menu. So Brodie, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.720 I had a chance to compare side by side lunch 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.400 and dinner menus, and low and behold, there were no 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.520 less than three or four items. And I said this 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.440 on the Big Show briefly, but I wanted to see 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.760 why people do this and how they get away with it, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.000 and I wanted to expose it to the Brooklyn Boys audience. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.400 Oh I got something for this. You go ahead, yeah, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.640 I know you do. With that that that they will 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:11.760 take the same portion size lunch and charge you up 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.760 charge you for the dinner menu because I saw two menu. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.400 So the shrimp cocktail, let's just say it was twelve 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.680 dollars for four pieces. At dinner time, that same shrimp 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.120 cocktail was fifteen dollars for four pieces. I'm like, look 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.240 at this from one menu to the next. The Cops 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.080 salad was the same thing all the almost all the salads. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.200 So and the portion size where they were the same 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.240 for lunch size or dinner size. They clearly confirmed that. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.800 So we then we when I said this on the 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.200 Big Show, like three or four people in the hospitality 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.840 industry were whistleblowers. I'm like, yep, we do that same 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.560 exact portion size, but we just up charged because it's 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.880 because it's dinner. Because because the clock strikes five, they're 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.320 they're they're up charged because it's dinner. But they're also 0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:00.960 downcharging because they want to increase their lunch business. It's 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.600 like it's like the Scamboni in New Jersey. Right, So 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.360 in New Jersey, I don't know about let's say ten 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.400 years ago, it could have been eight whatever, gas stations 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:15.720 would charge more for credit cards, right, right, So they 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.880 would charge you like fifteen cents more credit card. So 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.280 New Jersey passed the law and said it's illegal to 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.000 charge more for credit cards because it's unfan of the consumer, 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.880 right because the gas stations have to pay a transaction 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.360 fee a master card and visa, so they would prefer 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.560 to get cash money, right, but because they don't report 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.400 half of it anyway, right, because let's they have a 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.120 Scamboni going on for themselves. They want to be a 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.120 cash under the table Uncle Sam, don't know they sold 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.840 all that gas. So that lasted I don't know, about 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.360 a year. Then the gas stations figured out, whoa wait 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.600 a minute, we can't charge more for credit cards, but 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.000 we can give a discount for cash. Boom. So now 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.720 we're still paying more for credit cards. But actually you're 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:05.600 saving money by cash, my friends, is a scamoni. Wow. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.880 So so they never really lowered the price. Sorry, they 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.200 never They never really raised the price on credit cards. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.200 They just no, they reset their price, making the credit 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.600 card price what they call the normal price, which was 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.800 more expensive. And then then the cash price was discounted, 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.360 but not enough to that it's not enough that they 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.560 lose the discount. They're still making money because the four 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.600 ten cents of gallon, they're still saving on the transaction. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.080 So they still want the cash from you, because because 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.400 if you get twenty gallons, they're out there out two dollars. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.360 But if they caused them like three to pay master Card, 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.560 that is to scamboni right there. Plus most people don't 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.120 get twenty gallons. Oh, by the way, speaking of which, 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.000 I'm sorry, there's a commercial that ran about ten years ago, 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.520 and it's always bothered me. And this is before we 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.640 did the podcast, and it was before I think I 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.480 had um the opportunity to tape my radio the way 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.800 you do now. I could back up. But there was 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.800 a commercial, and I don't think I talked about on 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.840 this podcast. Maybe I did. I'm sorry if in three 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.480 years we've talked about, I apologize. But there was a 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.040 commercial where they were trying to say you should shop 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.600 at a smaller UM home improvement store or something, or 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.320 like shop at smaller places that like when you go 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.280 to some home improvement stores, they're gigantic. They're like being 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.440 in an airport. You can't find anything and there's no personalization, right. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.399 And the guy UM apparently was like on like a 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.080 golf cart kind of thing to go from one end 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:32.480 of the store to the other because it was so big, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.840 and he's like, hey, give me a break. This thing 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:41.120 only holds half a tank. If a tank can't hold 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.600 half a tank, whatever that holds is the tank. See 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.480 the said was I've already been through half a tank 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.520 of gas. No, what he was trying to say was 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:52.960 he wouldn't make it to the other end of the 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.639 store and I've already and I've already know. What he 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.000 should have said was I only I have a small tank, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.679 or I only have half of a normal tank. But 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.320 he said, this thing only holds half a tank of gas. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.520 That's no Whatever size tank you have is a tank 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.480 of gas. Okay, So he was trying to What he 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.480 was trying to do was normalize a car's tank of 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.600 gas and saying it was half from there. So saying 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.000 like words, I have half what a normal I gotta 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.720 have a car tank. I think he was trying to 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.720 say it would take a full car's tank of gas, right, 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.720 But he said, this thing only holds a half a 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:31.919 tank of gas. Well, there's no right the tank itself 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.200 relative to the tank, there's no right. Whatever size tank 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:39.399 you have the tank? Yeah right, Well that was his 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:47.600 colloquial colloquialial ism. Oh absolutely, um, what are you typing? 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.399 Oh my god, I'm sorry, just up side that are 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:55.880 you setting a telegram? Yeah? Okay, so let me set 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.320 the stage to scare. Doesn't set the stage. I have 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.960 a boom mic, right, So a boom mic is like 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.920 a scissor arm that extends the microphone towards your face, 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.399 so you can push it away. Please push it away, dude, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.520 shut up. This one clips onto the little bridge table 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.000 that I'm have my laptop on, So it clips onto 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.639 the table right, and then it allows the microphone to 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.840 move back and forth like an arm. Yeah, but I 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:25.760 don't have a shock mount like we do with the 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.359 radio station. So our shock mount, the microphone sits in 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:36.800 like um like uh high school, trying to bring the 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.840 egg to school as a baby. You ever you ever 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.640 been like in one of those bungee jump things where 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.359 like you you put a harness around you and you 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:46.000 jump up and down on a trampoline and it's like 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.800 it's got ropes on all the sides. You can flips right. 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.119 So it sits in this rubber thing so it's suspended 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.280 and that absorbs the shocks. So when you hit the table, 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.960 the microphone doesn't get the vibration. We have those at 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.520 the radio station. I don't have that at home. So 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.240 when I type on the keyboard, that vibrates into the table, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.440 up the arm and it shakes it. To lend you one, 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.480 I have three. It has to fit this particular microphone 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.560 you have, you know, my micah. In fact, by the way, 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.320 when I bang on my desk. By the way, I 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.199 have the same setup as Brody with a with a 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.280 microphone with the clip and all the off and then 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.840 and the scissor arm with the clamp. Here's what happens 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.680 when being on my table. Listen, guess why because I 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.280 have the rubber shock mount and my mic is suspended 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.199 and came free. There was a part of that. You 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:34.479 spend fifty seven thousands. These are the perks people of 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:44.160 spending six man time's flying man breaking a second So 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.200 the thing with the less money for the lunch thing. 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.800 I have two scambonies with pizza related so can I 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.880 can I get it? We're on the scamboni segment. Even 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.159 though hold on in case you were mistaken, you know 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.480 there was any doubt in your mind. I'm sorry what 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.720 segment of me. But by the way, it was anything 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.719 said on on the radio this week. He said, oh, 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.520 I've got I've got a scamboni I want to talk about. 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.080 But nobody in the room reacted to it because none 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.199
