Speaker 2: it reminded me that I was, uh well, reminds me
Speaker 2: that you and I do have plans this Sunday. We do.
Speaker 3: And now this is how I feel like a moment
Speaker 3: of redemption as I'm inviting you to come with me
Speaker 3: to the Jets game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with a big asterisk next to it. What's the asterisk? Okay?
Speaker 2: So Scary invited me to go to a Jets game
Speaker 2: because he got he got two tickets, right, h And
Speaker 2: it's somewhat work related, so he has to go. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he called me up. He goes Brodie, the first

Speaker 2: don't know if I'm available as well. If you don't go,
Speaker 2: I got to go alone. I would love you to go.
Speaker 2: I said, really, have no one else to goes? Well,
Speaker 2: you know all my friends and Giants fans. If I
Speaker 2: had Giants tickets, I have one hundred people lined up.
Speaker 2: You're really not a Jets fan, I know. So I
Speaker 2: got invited by default because he has no one else
Speaker 2: would want to go to a Jets game. I'm a
Speaker 2: Jets fan. I don't really want to go to a
Speaker 2: Jets game. That's so bad they are.
Speaker 3: He's like, brod, you gotta go. You're a Jets fan.

Speaker 2: We'll get hot dogs like hot dogs. Must sit outside

Speaker 2: I would have invited Diamond from The Big Show. Yeah
Speaker 2: that's nice, that's nice. She is a Jets fan. She
Speaker 2: is a big one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I figured you would, Brody, That's not true. You
Speaker 3: were my first choice.
Speaker 2: From the get I know Danielle's a Jets Fanly from
Speaker 2: the Jump is sort of but you're from the Jump
Speaker 2: all right. But speaking of Sunday mornings, I want to
Speaker 2: tell you what happened to me two Sunday mornings ago
Speaker 2: that I forgot to tell you about last week. When
Speaker 2: we come back, all right, can't wait for this one
Speaker 2: the Boys podcast, We will be right back. So it
Speaker 2: was two sundays ago. You guys will figure out what
Speaker 2: Sunday it was when I tell you the end of
Speaker 2: the story, but don't interrupt me. Scary. So I got
Speaker 2: pickleball on Sunday morning. So I have an alarm clock
Speaker 2: next to my side of the bed and I set
Speaker 2: it for So pickleball was at eleven. It takes me
Speaker 2: about fifteen twenty minutes to drive there, so I set
Speaker 2: my alarm for ten o'clock. This way, I get up,
Speaker 2: have a little breakfast, walk the dogs they haven't already
Speaker 2: been walked, and I leave. Okay, I'm on my own
Speaker 2: Sunday morning. My wife goes to food markets and shit
Speaker 2: early at whatever, so I'm waking up along the now.
Speaker 2: Walk the dog's a euphemism for something else. No, I
Speaker 2: wish it was. I got, you know, walk the dogs.
Speaker 2: In the bedroom. There's the alarm clock next to me,
Speaker 2: to my right, and on the dresser in front of us,
Speaker 2: where the television is with the televisions above. I have
Speaker 2: a an Echo show like an Amazon Wait, but with
Speaker 2: a screen which has a clock on it. Now, during
Speaker 2: the week, when I wake up late i'm alone, I
Speaker 2: usually set the Uh well, I set both. I set
Speaker 2: the Amazon. I say, hey, hey, Alexa setting alarm. Sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: I say, he's setting alarm for such and such time, right,
Speaker 2: So that's what I do. And then I have the
Speaker 2: clock next to me. That's just the clock. It's an
Speaker 2: alarm clock. But it also has a charging platform on
Speaker 2: top where i'd leave my phone. But I don't use
Speaker 2: that for the alarm. I use the Alexa for the alarm.
Speaker 2: So I say, Alexa, set an alarm for uh Sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: I'm fucking you up. But I tell it to set
Speaker 2: an alarm for ten am. That'll give me plenty of
Speaker 2: time to make it to pick a ball by eleven. Sure.
Speaker 2: So I hear the dogs are rustling around, and I
Speaker 2: wake up eos and the alarm hasn't gone off. So
Speaker 2: I look to my right to the alarm o'clock. Because
Speaker 2: when I go to bed, I tell I tell the
Speaker 2: Amazon unit, turn your screen off for the night, so
Speaker 2: that the light doesn't keep me awake. I go so
Speaker 2: that the echo show screen is off right because it's black.
Speaker 2: It's black, it's off. There's no clock, so I look
Speaker 2: to the right and my alarm clocks. Scary says ten.
Speaker 2: I got to be a pick a ball at eleven.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, holy shit, I got three minutes to
Speaker 2: get dressed and out of the house. So I quickly
Speaker 2: I throw on pants. I run downstairs with the dogs.
Speaker 2: I let them out on the deck. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 2: go peel on the deck. I run back up. I
Speaker 2: jump in the shower. No, no, no, really fast right, I
Speaker 2: build a haddriver. I got my clothes on, I'd laid
Speaker 2: them out the night before. I'm out, and now I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be like like ten minutes late to pick a ball.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you were in a panic. I'm in
Speaker 2: a panic. So I I run out of the house
Speaker 2: and as I'm running out of the garage, I knock
Speaker 2: over stuff on one of the racks and it all
Speaker 2: falls down like like a waterfall TLC. So I'm getting
Speaker 2: in my car out of here and the garage does close,
Speaker 2: So you fuck. So I run back open the garage door.
Speaker 2: I fix everything in the I'm like, damn it, of
Speaker 2: all days to knock something down. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be so late to pick a boy. I
Speaker 2: better call them. So I jump in the car and
Speaker 2: I start calling the pickle ball place. And now it's like,
Speaker 2: I gotta be it's already like five minutes. I gotta
Speaker 2: be that I'm fifteen minutes away. I'm in the car
Speaker 2: and I'm flying down the street and I look at
Speaker 2: the clock in my car, scary, and I think it's
Speaker 2: gonna say ten to fifty five, but it says nine
Speaker 2: to fifty five. Do you know why? This is daylight
Speaker 2: saving the end of daylight saving time, and every clock
Speaker 2: in my house automatically reset, mostly except if your long
Speaker 2: clock next to my bed, of course, because I forgot
Speaker 2: on Saturday night because I was busy and I didn't
Speaker 2: think of it. I'm usually I'm the guy I've always
Speaker 2: been in charge of the family, guy in charge of clocks.
Speaker 2: I set the stove, I set the oven, I mean
Speaker 2: the microwave oven. That's it. The stove, the microwave oven,
Speaker 2: and the wall clock are the only ones that aren't automatic,
Speaker 2: and the one next to my bed. So this whole
Speaker 2: panic now I'm an hour early. Scary, So I went
Speaker 2: home and the dogs were like, what the fuck are
Speaker 2: you doing home. That's the first time I don't know
Speaker 2: how long where I messed up the clock system and
Speaker 2: I got that, but I was in such a panic.
Speaker 2: I have never gotten dressed that quickly in my life.
Speaker 2: I am so think I leaped up in the air
Speaker 2: and landed in my pants. I'm done. I'm done with
Speaker 2: these time changes. If you google why we do it,
Speaker 2: there's never a good answer. No, there really isn't. It's
Speaker 2: supposed to be about the farmer, farmer the next hour,
Speaker 2: or to prevent accidents with the cars, because more accidents
Speaker 2: happen after dark.
Speaker 3: Listen, we're now to any sense. Now it's super dark
Speaker 3: at five o'clock. We're now on standard time. Okay, right, okay.
Speaker 2: The idea to go to daylight savings was a good idea.
Speaker 2: O S. Daylight daylight saving, great, but leave it there.
Speaker 2: We need to go to daylight.
Speaker 3: We need to spring ahead to daylight saving in the
Speaker 3: spring and never come back because I think that that
Speaker 3: provides the maximum amount.
Speaker 2: Of daylight. Well, it won't be getting dark at four
Speaker 2: thirty at night.
Speaker 3: More people are active, more people are active, well then,
Speaker 3: but then the people will have problems at the opposite
Speaker 3: end of the day, like in the morning.
Speaker 2: But my argument is always going to be fuck that.
Speaker 2: Who kids are going to go to school in the dark? Okay?
Speaker 2: You know something.
Speaker 3: Listen, There's more activity and more people out and more
Speaker 3: shit going on at the latter part of the day
Speaker 3: than the early part of the day. So that's you know,
Speaker 3: I don't ever want it to get dark before a
Speaker 3: quarter to six, because that would be the earliest it
Speaker 3: would get dark, like five point thirty. I can live
Speaker 3: with that for a month or so as as it
Speaker 3: finally shakes itself.
Speaker 2: Out and as as the months roll by. But it's
Speaker 2: getting dark at four thirty.
Speaker 3: Fucking it's in January, when is the dead of winter,
Speaker 3: the dead of winter, it will be four to thirty,
Speaker 3: will be That's awful.
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty two, the Senate passed a bill
Speaker 2: YEP called the Sunshine Protection Act, and that has to
Speaker 2: go to the House of Representatives to vote on yes.
Speaker 2: The House of Representatives changed over as it does every
Speaker 2: two years in twenty twenty two, and since the other
Speaker 2: party is in charge of the House of Representatives, nobody
Speaker 2: has voted on the bill. It has not come to
Speaker 2: the floor yet. Oh so what hasn't even been on
Speaker 2: the floor.
Speaker 3: No, no, let's get that bill on the damn floor
Speaker 3: and let's pass it. Did I think this is the
Speaker 3: bipartisan issue here. Aren't we all in favor of this?
Speaker 3: There are some naysayers. There are some people that are
Speaker 3: gonna be.
Speaker 2: Like, well, the problem is is my kids have to
Speaker 2: catch them by. I said, I don't want them going
Speaker 2: to school in the dark.
Speaker 3: That's that's the argument against against not changing against Marco.
Speaker 2: Rubio, current senator in Florida, who was just nominated to
Speaker 2: be Secretary of State, which he's probably gonna get, was
Speaker 2: the guy who proposed it. He put the he sponsored
Speaker 2: the bill. I mean, he's at the sun time, he's
Speaker 2: going to be leaving the House of Representatives. He's gonna
Speaker 2: be leaving the Senate rather but nobody on the House
Speaker 2: wants to pick the bill up. So call your local representatives,
Speaker 2: the governor. No he's not the Santis is the governor Florida.
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio's I'm sorry, I know my politics. I know
Speaker 2: I don't but okay. So Rubio sponsored it the Senate
Speaker 2: through unanimous consent was like, nobody disagrees. Sounds good to us,
Speaker 2: and they passed it onto the House and the House
Speaker 2: just killed it. It's been sitting there, hasn't come up
Speaker 2: for a vote. So call your local congressman and women
Speaker 2: and tell him, hey, I would like the Sunshine Protection
Speaker 2: Act to be passed.
Speaker 3: Let's get that on your life. Get that on the floor, folks,
Speaker 3: right right to your congressman.
Speaker 2: Okay. So, speaking of daylight saving time, no s Someone
Speaker 2: I know who works in radio said, if the NFL
Speaker 2: was smart, Now, the NFL, every weekend, or almost every
Speaker 2: weekend and a lot of weekends, they have a game
Speaker 2: played in Europe. And because of the time difference, which
Speaker 2: is I think six hours yep, they play the game
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock three pm here and that makes it
Speaker 2: three point thirty there. Okay, So this person posts the
Speaker 2: same weekend I had the drama with the clocks, daylight
Speaker 2: saving weekend. He says, if the NFL was smart, they
Speaker 2: would schedule a game that morning so we would get
Speaker 2: an extra hour of sleep. Okay, I wonder why they
Speaker 2: don't do that. So if someone guy wrote because the
Speaker 2: NFL stupid, oh you're brilliant. That's a brilliant idea. Why
Speaker 2: don't they do that so we get an extra hour sleep? No,
Speaker 2: you don't. First of all, you know you do. If
Speaker 2: nothing changed, you'd have to get up at eight thirty
Speaker 2: in the morning for the game, not nine thirty. But
Speaker 2: it's the same time in reality. No, right, Yeah, but
Speaker 2: you've slept an extra hour in the night, Yes you have. Yeah, scary,
Speaker 2: hold on, well, well, okay, scary you still if you
Speaker 2: wake up at nine thirty, Okay, if the game is
Speaker 2: at three point thirty in England or in Germany where
Speaker 2: where the game was right and it's nine thirty here,
Speaker 2: if our clocks change, the game is going on at
Speaker 2: the same time regardless. Yes, they don't move the game
Speaker 2: in Europe they don't. But right, so if you wake
Speaker 2: up at eight thirty our time, which used to be
Speaker 2: nine thirty, it's the same.
Speaker 3: Because they don't have they don't have daylight savings over there.
Speaker 3: They don't live in their clocks, and they're not moving
Speaker 3: the game. They don't move the clocks.
Speaker 2: They don't move the game. The physical game happens in
Speaker 2: reality at the same time at three point thirty their time,
Speaker 2: which is still nine thirty our time, or eight thirty
Speaker 2: if you move your clock back, but it doesn't change
Speaker 2: if you go to bed at midnight scary. Okay, and
Speaker 2: the game is at nine thirty. Okay, okay, you're gonna
Speaker 2: sleep how many hours? Say it again. If you would
Speaker 2: have been at midnight, yeah, and the games at nine thirty,
Speaker 2: you'd normally sleep. You wake up nine and a half
Speaker 2: hours later nine thirty, yes, but nine half hours. But
Speaker 2: I'm getting ten and a half hours of sleep. You
Speaker 2: aren't getting ten and a half hours. Yes, because because
Speaker 2: they're moving the clocks. They're moving the clock at two
Speaker 2: in the morning. But scary. When you wake up at
Speaker 2: nine thirty, right, the gab will have already been on
Speaker 2: for an hour. The game's not for an hour. It
Speaker 2: doesn't change what happens in Europe. This guy's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you get an extra hour of sleep, The NFL should
Speaker 2: do that. It doesn't change anything. It's still happening at
Speaker 2: the same time in the world. Even though your clock's moved.
Speaker 2: Germany doesn't care what time your clock's moved. Your body
Speaker 2: doesn't care. If you didn't have a clock, you'd still
Speaker 2: be waking up at the same time nine and a
Speaker 2: half hours after you woke up, after you went to bed.
Speaker 2: What the clock says is irrelevant. The game is going
Speaker 2: on in Germany at the same.
Speaker 3: Exact time, at the same damn time. It would be tenth,
Speaker 3: it would be tenth thirty. No, no, your.
Speaker 2: Clock says eight thirty, but it's still nine thirty to
Speaker 2: your change the clock is the game is still happening
Speaker 2: at that time in the world. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But if they if they moved the clocks with us,
Speaker 3: but they don't.
Speaker 2: But if they did, see, now that's I know. You
Speaker 2: think America controls the world, but they don't. As America
Speaker 2: the only country in the world that does time changes,
Speaker 2: to my knowledge, it's only maybe one of a couple
Speaker 2: because if.
Speaker 3: They did, had they just hypothetically speaking though, if they
Speaker 3: also did the time change, then we would be getting
Speaker 3: the hour at the extra hour, then we.
Speaker 2: Would feel I'm looking at the countries that have daylight
Speaker 2: saving time. Hold on, let me see Bahamas, Cuba, Bermuda, Greenland, Haiti, Mexico, Australia, Canada,
Speaker 2: Saint Pierre and Miguelian Michellan never heard of that. Turks
Speaker 2: and Caicos, Faroe Islands, Nicaragua, Paraguay, United States, Bosnia and Herzegovia, Egypt,
Speaker 2: European Union, Israel and New Zealand. So not Germany, not England.
Speaker 2: What's the European Union. They're what you said, European Union. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's all that's Oh wait a minute, maybe that does
Speaker 2: include Germany. Ah well, let me see when they change it.
Speaker 2: Hold on, so there you go. You said European said it,
Speaker 2: but they still aren't changing the time of the game
Speaker 2: is my point? Doesn't the game play? No, but you
Speaker 2: will feel no.
Speaker 3: But now you'll feel refreshed, and now the extra hour
Speaker 3: will matter.
Speaker 2: Slices. No, I'm looking out.
Speaker 3: Why don't you clog up our talkbacks with this wonderful
Speaker 3: topic which is going to go on for which I
Speaker 3: can already feel for five more episodes. Hook us up
Speaker 3: with a talkback. I'm telling you you're wrong. If you
Speaker 3: are wrong, If the European Union is part of the
Speaker 3: time change, then you will feel refreshed and you.
Speaker 2: Will have happy union. European Union changes their clocks on
Speaker 2: October first, so it doesn't effect. Doesn't effect okay, doesn't
Speaker 2: affect Slices. You don't need to do anything. All right,
Speaker 2: I'm tired. Can we go home? You should get lost
Speaker 2: an hour asleep because the daylight saving, I mean, that
Speaker 2: wore me out. I can't stand that that last, that thinking,
Speaker 2: critical thinking did I yeah, all right, all right, well
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that occasionally have to do some critical things
Speaker 2: made my brain hurt. You live in Hudson County, Okay.
Speaker 2: So I was in Hudson County, oh a few days ago,
Speaker 2: and there was a police car stopped at the intersection
Speaker 2: going left and right, and I'm going up north south.
Speaker 2: So let's say it was going east west, and uh,
Speaker 2: somebody went what was going through the red light? And
Speaker 2: they stopped short and they waved to the car like
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, officer, I you know. They they had to backup.
Speaker 2: They almost went through the red light. Oof. And I
Speaker 2: looked at the police car and it said Hudson County
Speaker 2: Waits and Measures. No. What is that? They're a government
Speaker 2: agency that goes around to make sure that any official
Speaker 2: scales are accurate. H that they check scales. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: They they check scales like a truck stops at places
Speaker 2: that that sell things by the pound, like official places.
Speaker 2: But they're not going into the Delian Way making sure
Speaker 2: the cull cut machine is calibrated. It's a white it's
Speaker 2: a white car with a blue stripe and it said
Speaker 2: Hudson County Waits and Measures. But it looks like a
Speaker 2: police card. It lights on it. Oh, that's awesome, that's
Speaker 2: but the postal the postal police scares the ship out
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 3: The postal police. Also, they're not cops. They're not and
Speaker 3: nothing to do. They don't have badges, they don't have guns.
Speaker 2: Right, but people like pull over, they slow down on
Speaker 2: the highway and like that.
Speaker 3: Oh, for the for the postal for the postal police,
Speaker 3: someone are gonna pull you over and write your letter. Hey,
Speaker 3: put a stamp on your license. I still want to know,
Speaker 3: now what these what the weights and measures people? What
Speaker 3: do they investigate? What do they you know? What's to
Speaker 3: tell you? I looked it up previously. I'll look it
Speaker 3: up again. Hold on a second.
Speaker 2: It's like one of those old timey things. No, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: Hudson County Weights and Measures. Mh. They can't be more
Speaker 2: of one of those in the county. Uh. The office
Speaker 2: is responsible for enforcing pricing rules. Responding to price gouge
Speaker 2: and complaints. Oh all right, hold on, let me see
Speaker 2: what else Alon Weights and Measures on Office of Weights
Speaker 2: and Measures. Here it is, here we go. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you right now what it says, hold on Hudson County
Speaker 2: to protect consumers, front on scrupulous business practices and maintain
Speaker 2: equity in the marketplace. Consumers can rest assured. Blah bah
Speaker 2: blah uh yeah they check here we go. Inspects all

Speaker 2: truck sales that a petition. The office is responsible for
Speaker 2: testing fuel meters at gas stations, airplane fueled trucks located
Speaker 2: in their laser guns. Radar tuning forks were used for
Speaker 2: speed enforcement. So yeah, anything to do with weights, anything
Speaker 2: that measures, they could check it. Like so like all
Speaker 2: the speed guys with the speed guns, all the cops
Speaker 2: they got to check their guns. So weights and they
Speaker 2: can't give you a ticket though, So don't don't worry
Speaker 2: about when you see them. You have to slow down. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: people were like freaking out and my and my ways,
Speaker 2: my ways said there was a police car there. There
Speaker 2: was it. Weights and Measures was parked on the corner
Speaker 2: like it was double pot. I've gotten sighted down before.
Speaker 2: I definitely yes, you did by me. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: thought that you because you you you drive a car
Speaker 2: that looked like it's a Chevy. No, you think I
Speaker 2: drive a Chevy. You drive a Chevrolet? What? No? What
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 3: You know you've been in my car. We've talked about
Speaker 3: my car endless times, right out of the slices. You know,
Speaker 3: you drive a charger. But it's like, has that look
Speaker 3: that Dodge has that look.
Speaker 2: But police cars are Dodge chargers, American made cars. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, I'm like, well my god, I'm like
Speaker 2: what is this and it's black car. Yeah, but police
Speaker 2: cars are actually the same car. It's not like an
Speaker 2: American thing. It's not like it looks like other car
Speaker 2: chargers or police cars. So one day we're pulling out
Speaker 2: of the garage when we work downtown together and Scary
Speaker 2: made the turn, made the light, and I was behind
Speaker 2: him and I didn't make the light. And then he
Speaker 2: turned right on the side street. I made the I
Speaker 2: made the turn, and then I made another turn. I
Speaker 2: came on the turn pretty quickly. He saw my car
Speaker 2: fly around the turn. He thought he did something wrong.
Speaker 2: He pulled over, like, what are you doing? He goes, oh,
Speaker 2: I thought you were a cop. I was behind him
Speaker 2: at the stops two blocks ago. Scary Jones ladies and
Speaker 2: gentlemen got pulled over by his friend in a car
Speaker 2: that's all black with no lights on. I see that.
Speaker 2: I get a little suss. But once you saw the
Speaker 2: car three minutes ago when we were talking and I
Speaker 2: got into it, I have listen, We've all been fooled before.
Speaker 3: Also, when you see a police van, are they gonna
Speaker 3: pull you over? A lot of people say no, because
Speaker 3: it's for different purposes. I've seen official police vans.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, hey, that's more transport. I think so too.
Speaker 3: But there are cars that will, you know, refuse to
Speaker 3: go ahead of it, or try it outrun it, or
Speaker 3: do something weird.
Speaker 2: In front of it, because they can still call your
Speaker 2: plate into the car that the police car up ahead.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they can pull you over. But they're not
Speaker 2: catching me in my charger though, So if they don't
Speaker 2: see the license plate, I'm gone dune. Yeah, van, I
Speaker 2: know there's vans with big engines. I know slcenes.
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, but they don't. You don't really see
Speaker 3: that you don't see or the police on the scooter.
Speaker 2: They're not chasing. No.
Speaker 3: My father was like, scooter scooter cop parking enforcement. That
Speaker 3: doesn't bother you. Right, you're not you're not, You're not
Speaker 3: like deterred by Well, if I'm moving, how they're gonna
Speaker 3: catch me. They're parking. I'm not parking. If I'm doing
Speaker 3: ninety and a thirty, that's not parking. Yeah, there's the
Speaker 3: single person police vehicles with.
Speaker 2: The big box behind it, the big storage box y
Speaker 2: the storage. And then I catch them and they call again.
Speaker 2: They can call in for backup, they can call ahead.
Speaker 2: I guess. Uh, we got a guy in a car
Speaker 2: that looks like a Chevy card and scary, but it's
Speaker 2: really a dodge charge. Yeah, pretty much. You laugh, You
Speaker 2: do it? Hey, Speaking of driving and and and and
Speaker 2: people getting pulled over, I came to Uh. I was
Speaker 2: second in line behind a h a small SUV, and
Speaker 2: I had a lot of bumper stickers on the back.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of bumper stickers. You don't, I
Speaker 2: don't read them. You read them. I do it all
Speaker 2: the bumper stick I sure do. If you stopped at
Speaker 2: a red light, you might read a bumper sticker correct,
Speaker 2: But if you're at a if you're at a a
Speaker 2: stop sign or a red light in New Jersey, I
Speaker 2: was today. I was stopped today. But there's no right
Speaker 2: turn on red in Staaten Island, so when it's a
Speaker 2: red light, you're stuck right. Yeah, what anything good on
Speaker 2: the bumper stickers? Anything funny?
Speaker 3: It was just yeah, it was stopped at a red light,
Speaker 3: and the bumper sticker in front of me said Trump.
Speaker 2: I was just Allen. That makes sense. He's very popular there.
Speaker 2: But look funny about it? No, I mean, it was
Speaker 2: just no. The bumper stickers that I that I see.
Speaker 2: You're talking about the smart ass ones that have well,
Speaker 2: is it funny, it's clever, it's rude. Nothing. If you
Speaker 2: could read this, you're too clu Anyway, My point is
Speaker 2: I got behind this car and I don't know it
Speaker 2: had a bunch of bumper stickers on the trunk. But
Speaker 2: in New Jersey it's right turn on red. So if
Speaker 2: you're second in the car in front of you stops
Speaker 2: at the red light and it's and there's no cause coming,
Speaker 2: you expect them to turn. I've talked about this, yes
Speaker 2: you have. So the car is sitting there so I
Speaker 2: beeped the horn. They don't move. I'm in a hurry.
Speaker 2: I beat the horn again. The driver gets out and
Speaker 2: he says, hey, read the bumper sticker. He is, look
Speaker 2: at a bumper sticker. It's a student driver in the car.
Speaker 2: The guy got out the passenger side. So I said,
Speaker 2: I was best friend's ride. Yeah, trying to holler at
Speaker 2: you holler at me? He did so, I said, so
Speaker 2: ill I rolled on me win and I go, I'm
Speaker 2: not reading bumper stickers. You got ten bumper stickers on there. Well,
Speaker 2: am I gonna go looking for the one that is
Speaker 2: a student driver? How about you teach the kid how
Speaker 2: to make it right on red? He wasn't very happy
Speaker 2: with me, got in the car and they sat there
Speaker 2: at the red light till it changed. Wow, if you're
Speaker 2: a student driver, have one big bumper sticker with like
Speaker 2: red lines on it that says student driver. Have something
Speaker 2: on the window student driver that I can't listen. If
Speaker 2: you're a student driver, I get it. We've all been there.
Speaker 2: I was a student driver. Scared of student my kids
Speaker 2: with student drivers. Yeah, nothing but respect for student drivers.
Speaker 2: But don't expect me to read all your bumper stickers
Speaker 2: I bring for deer. I love camping, you know, coexist.
Speaker 2: I can't read all your bumper stickers. Just give me
Speaker 2: one that says student driver, and I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 2: student driver, no problem, I'll wait. Am I wrong? No,
Speaker 2: you're not wrong. You're not wrong, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even like it was the top left
Speaker 2: corner the way it was in the middle, mixed in
Speaker 2: the things that noy the fun out of you. Man.
Speaker 2: I gotta say, you want to know. I saw a
Speaker 2: bumper stick on my way to pick up ball the
Speaker 2: other day and it said, well, don't blow your horn
Speaker 2: at me. I left on time, did it really? And yeah?
Speaker 2: And that's when it dawned on me. That's why I
Speaker 2: get aggravated because I leave because I leave at the
Speaker 2: exact moment, so if anything happens, that's smart.
Speaker 3: I love that. That's amazing. See that's a bumper sticker
Speaker 3: that I'd put on my cohen.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I I don't trust the bumper stick Let
Speaker 2: me tell you something. Would I always leave? I'm not
Speaker 2: good at leaving.
Speaker 3: And that was that was the next thing I was
Speaker 3: gonna say, is really right?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: But do people even put bumper stickers on their cars.
Speaker 3: I mean I see them here and there, but I
Speaker 3: don't see them as much as they used to. I mean,
Speaker 3: a lot of cars are leases. You don't want to
Speaker 3: have to scrape that fucking thing off.
Speaker 2: I've never put a bumper sticker on on any of
Speaker 2: my car. I put things in the window because you
Speaker 2: can't get them off. It takes a certain kind of
Speaker 2: person to even put a bumper sticker on a car.
Speaker 2: I think it depends on the kind of car you
Speaker 2: have and how old it is, and if you're covering
Speaker 2: up a dem if it's an old GALOPPI I'm sure,
Speaker 2: but not a jaloppy. But look, if you have a
Speaker 2: mini van, I'm just trying to think. I don't magnets.
Speaker 2: My wife always put magnets on the cart. My daughter
Speaker 2: is a gymnast, magnet stuff like that. The school they
Speaker 2: went to, which I was, I was like, no, and
Speaker 2: so I never did that. But you know what, my
Speaker 2: Dodg's charger saved me because the trunk is a giant
Speaker 2: tail light that goes across the whole trunk. Okay, and
Speaker 2: the magnets never fit because they were taller than the
Speaker 2: space left on the truck. Ah, so your daughters could
Speaker 2: never put a magnet on the car. They go right
Speaker 2: to day. Want you put a magnet on the car?
Speaker 2: I'd love to. It would be great because fit doesn't fit.
Speaker 2: Also doesn't fit with the motif of my Dodge charger.
Speaker 2: But no, so you know, so I would put something
Speaker 2: in the window. Not a problem. But as far as
Speaker 2: like magnets and bump there was never any right and
Speaker 2: people yelling.
Speaker 3: At me because I had the audacity to put a
Speaker 3: front license plate on my car. I have a BMW
Speaker 3: and it's all grill and it's.
Speaker 2: Right, and then there's that hole, and they're like, wow,
Speaker 2: that's blasphemy, that's how could you do that? And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get a fucking ticket, because in
Speaker 3: the state of New Jersey or New York, you need
Speaker 3: a front you need a front license plate. And I
Speaker 3: know there's some people listening in other states right now
Speaker 3: where it's not mandatory and most people just have a
Speaker 3: backplate and that's it.
Speaker 2: Not in New York. In New Jersey, so too many
Speaker 2: cars here, too many accidents, and you need to have
Speaker 2: to make sure the cameras pick up the front in
Speaker 2: the back of the car. Plus he passed holes. Read
Speaker 2: the front license plate, don't they Yes, the back, it's
Speaker 2: the back, man, it's the back. Always stayed the picture
Speaker 2: of the back. But I had to take a rivet
Speaker 2: gun and I had to poke holes in the FIA
Speaker 2: my charger because it because it's a rubber bumper, not
Speaker 2: not a baby a baby bumperk No, So I had
Speaker 2: to listen. It was the first two days I had
Speaker 2: the car, or the first month. When you have the
Speaker 2: temporary license, it's in the window, you're fine. But once
Speaker 2: those plates arrived, I was like, oh, I got to
Speaker 2: put a yellow. The New Jersey has the worst plates,
Speaker 2: we really do. They're yellow at black lettering awful and
Speaker 2: and like it's terrible. Like even the Garden State Parkway
Speaker 2: logo is green. You couldn't make the plates green. Yellow
Speaker 2: is just awful. What an awful color? Yellow sucks? I mean,
Speaker 2: New York has red, white and blue. They've had Statue
Speaker 2: of Liberties, Empire state buildings, they've had orange and blue,
Speaker 2: because you know, New York is orange and blue. Those
Speaker 2: are the colors in New York. But New Jersey is
Speaker 2: the Garden State. And I'm like, why yellow? Then make
Speaker 2: it green. When I was a kid, the license plates
Speaker 2: in New Jersey were blue and yellow. They were blue
Speaker 2: and yellow. Yeah, they were like royal blue or but
Speaker 2: even that was cooler than this. Yeah, terrible yellow. Awful.
Speaker 2: Who do I have to vote for to get you
Speaker 2: to get non yellow plates? I have to call. I'll
Speaker 2: call anybody. These are the things that bother you in
Speaker 2: a daily day. Bother you. You brought it up. I had
Speaker 2: holes of my dodge charge. I won't know. I had
Speaker 2: not about the color of the goddamn plate though, I
Speaker 2: don't care. I hate it. The only thing is the
Speaker 2: yellow and black plates. This motif is not doesn't go
Speaker 2: with my beamur It's motif yellow blacks and go with
Speaker 2: your your blue car. I have a black car, so
Speaker 2: it goes with it. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Florida has an orange on it. It's colorful. It's like
Speaker 2: Florida looking colors. You know, it's a teal or green whatever.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty looking there's like, yeah, some states have
Speaker 2: great looking plates New Jersey, but Philly has the keystone.
Speaker 2: Philly's orange and blue also, isn't it? Yeah? It was
Speaker 2: for while I don't know color it is now, but
Speaker 2: it was orange and blue right all right? So what
Speaker 2: else is? What else is going on? Oh? I didn't
Speaker 2: talk about Veterans Day? Can I mention that real quick?
Speaker 2: I just want to It was a big deal. It
Speaker 2: was a huge deal. Did I mention it on the podcast?
Speaker 2: And my dad was going that I got my dad
Speaker 2: and I do not remember that my dad and his
Speaker 2: friends because of the Wounded Warriors Project, Uh, they got
Speaker 2: to and they got invited onto what was going to
Speaker 2: be the Wounded Warriors Project float in the parade through me,
Speaker 2: and I thought it was awesome, but they were like,
Speaker 2: we want to upgrade your dad, and we want to
Speaker 2: actually put your dad and his friends VIP style in
Speaker 2: a military vehicle that was actually in combat in the
Speaker 2: Korean War, the back of a truck which had like
Speaker 2: a machine gun in it. Like obviously no, AMMO, but
Speaker 2: my fu so my father and is you know who
Speaker 2: served in Vietnam in the Navy along with his friend
Speaker 2: Harold and Mike Dippolato and these guys. Nick given shout
Speaker 2: outs to his friend's names like their sponsors, well the
Speaker 2: Nikki you know, more Italians, you know, Pysons. They were
Speaker 2: all the Python Fest lessons. They all basically, you know,
Speaker 2: they all worked. You know, they've all, i'm sorry, served
Speaker 2: our country veterans. Right. So my dad, you know, I didn't.
Speaker 3: I was marching in the parade and I was three
Speaker 3: minutes ahead of him, and I'm like the whole time,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I wonder how he fared. There were twenty
Speaker 3: thousand people out there that day.
Speaker 2: There were signs, there were signs of people thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you for your services.
Speaker 3: They were I saw people crying in the crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was. It was really touching. I had never really
Speaker 3: been there to the veterans dy parade. When I got
Speaker 3: to the end of the parade, I'm like, let me
Speaker 3: double back here and stand in the street and wait
Speaker 3: for my father's vehicle to come by. And I'm thinking
Speaker 3: they would just go to be four bumps on the
Speaker 3: log just enjoying the ride.
Speaker 2: Oh no, my father and his three friends were standing up,
Speaker 2: waving like the queen, waving back and forth. Yeah, at
Speaker 2: the top, right behind the camp of the truck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were in the back of All four of
Speaker 3: them were standing up and they were greeting the crowd.
Speaker 3: The crowds was screaming at them, and then afterwards I
Speaker 3: took them for a steak dinner at Del Frisco.
Speaker 2: And we're all while sitting down and we're all eating
Speaker 2: and they, you know, they couldn't believe it. They were like, Wow,
Speaker 2: why didn't you bring Brody for the steak dinner. I
Speaker 2: knew you were gonna I knew you were gonna say that,
Speaker 2: but no, they've never experienced that love before, they feel.
Speaker 3: My father thought first of all, that there wasn't He says,
Speaker 3: I thought people forgot about the Veterans Day parade. I
Speaker 3: thought I didn't think I thought there was gonna be like,
Speaker 3: you know, twenty people out here.
Speaker 2: I said, no way, he goes he couldn't believe. He
Speaker 2: was beside himself.
Speaker 3: He says it was the most one of the most
Speaker 3: exhilarating things he's done on his life. And to be
Speaker 3: honored like that all these years later, I must have
Speaker 3: felt so good for these guys to be like, Wow,
Speaker 3: that's pretty damn cool that people remember us. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a it was a moment I was in
Speaker 3: my fields.
Speaker 2: The video was awesome watching your dad and his friends waving.
Speaker 2: It looked like like you during the Puerto Rican Day
Speaker 2: parade or any of the many parades we've been on
Speaker 2: floats like that's how that's how we got treated for
Speaker 2: being in radio. They did something real, like they served
Speaker 2: our country and went to war, and they deserved a parade.
Speaker 2: And we've been in so many parades over the years.
Speaker 2: It was nice in the parade in the in the
Speaker 2: UH playing Puerto Rico a Puerto Rico. Frankie Cutler, what
Speaker 2: are you talking about that? The perto Rican Day parade.
Speaker 3: Every yeah, every forty five seconds we were that's all
Speaker 3: I did, and yell into a microphone over and over again.
Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't, you know. But it's a just
Speaker 2: it's a it's a.
Speaker 3: It's what it's the difference between us and them, right,
Speaker 3: I mean I don't I don't feel like I need
Speaker 3: to be honored for for doing that seeing.
Speaker 2: The radio people, radio people, right right, right, right, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: that's all that's alsost kind of cool. No, they deserved
Speaker 2: the parade and and and to be thanked for for
Speaker 2: for you know, willingly doing that. Yeah, yeah, they did.
Speaker 3: So they deserve their steak dinner, Brodie, They certainly did.
Speaker 3: They deserve dinner.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My dad was was in the army. But he uh,
Speaker 2: he served between the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Speaker 2: He was stationed in Germany. Uh, and he jumped out
Speaker 2: of a plane like, oh my god, like now I'm
Speaker 2: the last person even going like certain roller coasters that
Speaker 2: are frightening. But uh yeah, yeah, yeah, he served and
Speaker 2: uh he never did the parade though he went to
Speaker 2: the parades. Yeah, but he never never got to ride
Speaker 2: in a truck like that. That's very cool. He did
Speaker 2: it for your dad. There was one there was one
Speaker 2: guy in his his crew did not show he has
Speaker 2: and he has two purple hearts, and he just has
Speaker 2: a negative view of military and everything. And I don't
Speaker 2: know for whatever reason, they're some people are not anyone
Speaker 2: who knows knows that when the veterans came back from
Speaker 2: the Vietnam War, they would not treated well by the
Speaker 2: American public. Okay, So he was one of those. And
Speaker 2: I just wish he would have showed up because and
Speaker 2: by the way, that's what Born in the USA is about.
Speaker 2: Oh the song American song. Yeah, people always play that song.
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, they played at rallies and whatever, like
Speaker 2: oh yeah America. Listen to the lyrics. Yeah, Well, it's
Speaker 2: really it's really about how badly retreated the troops. A
Speaker 2: lot of it is about that. It's not a pro
Speaker 2: necessarily American song. Wow, but yeah, they were not treated well.
Speaker 3: I wanted that guy to come and see what I think.
Speaker 3: He would have had a different take today. He would
Speaker 3: have gotten his flowers, as they.
Speaker 2: Say, but he did not show. So yep and listen.
Speaker 2: I don't want to make this too serious of a podcast,
Speaker 2: but it's nice that people listen. If you whoever disagreed
Speaker 2: with that war, don't disagree with the people that went right,
Speaker 2: like disagree to people. But at the time, they took
Speaker 2: their anger about the war out on the soldiers and
Speaker 2: the people in the military.
Speaker 3: See that happening, I can't see, I mean, because I don't.
Speaker 3: We didn't live that. I mean, it was a different generation,
Speaker 3: but it was a generation it was anti guys. You
Speaker 3: got to read, you can do the research.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to be wrong. You know, if
Speaker 2: I'm a little off, you don't have to correct me.
Speaker 2: I'm doing my best. But there was a ground swell
Speaker 2: of people that did not want us to be in
Speaker 2: that war. They didn't think we should be involved, and
Speaker 2: they didn't think it was just and they heard stories
Speaker 2: about awful things that were being done. And so when listen,
Speaker 2: when World War Two ended, those people came home as heroes,
Speaker 2: they liberated the world or whatever. But the Korean War
Speaker 2: and the Vietnam War, they were not treated as well.
Speaker 2: And it's nice that they're being treated as the troops.
Speaker 2: They don't make policy, they're doing what they can to
Speaker 2: defend the country. They follow waters and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: That being said back to the fund in the podcast,
Speaker 2: But nothing but respect for the military, those who have
Speaker 2: served in those who let their family members serve and
Speaker 2: stayed home so they could serve. Thank you for tying
Speaker 2: that up into a nice bow. David Brodie. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: the son of a man who served as a in
Speaker 2: the military and as a police officer. I understand service,
Speaker 2: son of a bitch, from the time my dad was eighteen.
Speaker 2: For most of his life he served the country and
Speaker 2: the public public servant, and I used to do prank
Speaker 2: phone calls and write song parties. So we salute you.
Speaker 2: I feel like it would not be a complete episode
Speaker 2: if I didn't have a pickleball story. And I have
Speaker 2: to say, I am getting so much feedback on social media.
Speaker 2: We have so many pickleball players who listen to us
Speaker 2: all the time. Really yeah, they're like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: They send me videos. Now did you see this?
Speaker 3: If I don't know, I feel like I documented it.
Speaker 3: I chronicled it on this podcast two or three years ago.
Speaker 3: When I played pickleball and you all made fun of me.
Speaker 3: I think you made fun of me. The Big Show
Speaker 3: made fun of me, and they're like, pickleball, what's that meaning?
Speaker 3: Like it was, it hadn't really broken out as a
Speaker 3: national thing. It was still being played primarily in Florida,
Speaker 3: and I had gone to Delray Beach and I talked
Speaker 3: about my experiences playing pickleball, and I believe Slices backed
Speaker 3: me up here.
Speaker 2: I believe Bertie Men. I remember the conversation.
Speaker 3: Saying it wasn't a real saying it wasn't a real sport.
Speaker 3: They're like, wait a second, so it's like tennis but
Speaker 3: not you don't have to.
Speaker 2: You don't have to move very much. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's basically so.
Speaker 3: And somebody called me out and I'm like, yeah, what
Speaker 3: was the show?
Speaker 2: I don't remember, Like I may have, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I pick on you. So I don't remember, I will
Speaker 2: tell you. I busted my ass. What's today? Recording this?
Speaker 2: On Friday Wednesday, I played and I busted my ass.
Speaker 2: I had a so I'm in a certain level. And
Speaker 2: then so when when you play this is usually a
Speaker 2: range like oh, two seven five to three, right, and
Speaker 2: so when you when you play two seven, five to
Speaker 2: three this, I played with the person who had just
Speaker 2: become two seven to five, but I'm at three. So
Speaker 2: the other people I was playing with were three. So
Speaker 2: she was like, I don't know if I can play
Speaker 2: with you guys, I don't know what is the reason.
Speaker 2: It's a rating system. It means you were a certain
Speaker 2: sah two and up to three. You start basically at two. Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 2: so balls were getting past her and I'm on the
Speaker 2: left side. I ran all the way to the left
Speaker 2: in the corner and hit a ball over the net,
Speaker 2: and then was running back to the middle to get
Speaker 2: my spot back, and then a ball got past her.
Speaker 2: I kept running and went all the way to the
Speaker 2: right side and lunged and got the ball back. At
Speaker 2: that point, she's supposed to switch and cover the left side,
Speaker 2: but she didn't know to do that. So she stayed
Speaker 2: on the right side. So then a ball got hit
Speaker 2: to where I used to be on the left side,
Speaker 2: and I had to fly back to the other side and
Speaker 2: and and lunge and just get the bulb. So I
Speaker 2: ran all over the place to cover for her, because
Speaker 2: there's certain rules, not strategy. If your partner comes goes
Speaker 2: all the way to one side, you have to move
Speaker 2: to the middle to Okay, sure she didn't do that.
Speaker 2: So I was running back and forth like a maniac.
Speaker 2: So if you think that pickle ball doesn't evolve a
Speaker 2: lot of running, oh it does. It can. It can
Speaker 2: involve a lot of running. I did a lot of run.
Speaker 2: If the other part, if your partner doesn't do their share,
Speaker 2: it can well if they don't know that to move
Speaker 2: the way you're supposed to move when your two people
Speaker 2: on a court. In otherwords, if I go behind her
Speaker 2: to hit a ball that was over her head, then
Speaker 2: you got she's got to move to the left side
Speaker 2: and switch. And I yelled switch. But she didn't know
Speaker 2: what that meant. But she should have known what that meant,
Speaker 2: because by that point in two seven five, you should
Speaker 2: know to switch. My point is there's a lot of running.
Speaker 2: So anyway, a Sunday or Monday of last week, I
Speaker 2: played with my my At the time, I was you
Speaker 2: know what, I just got bumped to three On Sunday,
Speaker 2: I got reevaluated. So I played last Friday and I
Speaker 2: was still a two seven five. So I finished up
Speaker 2: with my two seven five team. Two hours I played,
Speaker 2: and as I'm leaving this this this guy comes over
Speaker 2: to me and he says, hey, excuse me, are you
Speaker 2: just coming in? Are you leaving? So I said, well,
Speaker 2: I just played, I'm leaving. My two hours is done.
Speaker 2: He says, well, we only got three players here. Somebody canceled.
Speaker 2: He goes, you want to fill in? So I said yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: So I said what ranking are you guys? He says
Speaker 2: three two five. Oh, so I know I can hang
Speaker 2: with them. So I go, oh, well I'm two seven five.
Speaker 2: That's great, So as long as you know you're fine
Speaker 2: with that. He goes three seven five, Ah, we'll try
Speaker 2: to keep up with you, my friend. So I said no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I said two seven five, not three seven five, And
Speaker 2: he goes the on his face scary. He just his
Speaker 2: face dropped because he thought I was three seven five.
Speaker 2: I'm two seven five at that time, and he goes, oh,
Speaker 2: all right, are you Then he goes, are you Are
Speaker 2: you a bash guy? You look like a bash guy.
Speaker 2: What a bash guy is the kind of guy who
Speaker 2: he slams everything. Every ball you could possibly slam into
Speaker 2: the ground, you slam. But the strategy and pick a ball.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you want to just nick the ball over the net.
Speaker 2: So because of your opponents all the way back, you
Speaker 2: just dip over the net and they can't get it
Speaker 2: because they got to run up for it. But guys
Speaker 2: who are bashed guys, if the balls in the air,
Speaker 2: they'll go oh boom, like they'll kill it, like you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kill them, like you know, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, he says, you look like a
Speaker 2: bash guy. So I said, what does a bash guy
Speaker 2: look like? This? I said exactly and more importantly, I
Speaker 2: only bashed when necessary, Like there are times you have
Speaker 2: to hit the ball hard. He says, Yo, Well, don't bash,
Speaker 2: because we have to. We have to dink and dunk.
Speaker 2: It's strategy here. Dinking dunk, Yeahkdinking is is when you
Speaker 2: just you're you're close to the net and you softly
Speaker 2: hit it over the net, so it drops near the
Speaker 2: net yep, and you so both sides are like them,
Speaker 2: you're drinking and dunking. Okay, he goes, we play with
Speaker 2: strategy at three point twenty five. Also, if a ball
Speaker 2: is going out, I'm gonna yell at you, don't hit it.
Speaker 2: So I said, hey man, because if the ball's flying
Speaker 2: like really hard and fast, if you sound like a party,
Speaker 2: sounds like I really want to play with them. No, right,
Speaker 2: So I go, hey man, I'm two seven five. I'm
Speaker 2: not a fool. Okay, I'm not two. I know the rules.
Speaker 2: He goes, all right, man, try to keep up. Okay,
Speaker 2: first of all, I fucking kept up. But this guy
Speaker 2: I want to refer to as here we go, howie.
Speaker 2: So every time he served, he goes, all, here we go.
Speaker 3: He's getting ready, he's gearing up, right, That's that's how
Speaker 3: he starts it up.
Speaker 2: That's how he right. There's nothing wrong with that. So
Speaker 2: then we alternate serves right, So he loses the point.
Speaker 2: Here we go, here we go. He looks at me,
Speaker 2: he goes, he gives me like you know what, like
Speaker 2: you wave somebody on in trap, like you go first, right,
Speaker 2: He looks at me. He goes, here we go, Here
Speaker 2: we go. I go, what do you like? I don't
Speaker 2: need you to say, here we go. I know it's
Speaker 2: supposed to serve. And he said when he serves, he's
Speaker 2: a Now he goes, here we go, he announces he's
Speaker 2: doing it. He's like, we know you're serving. We see
Speaker 2: your arm moving, so fuck you. Here we go, howie?
Speaker 2: Oh come on? And I kept up with them. I
Speaker 2: played just as well as the three point two fives
Speaker 2: fucking guy. Here. We're going to tell you what. So
Speaker 2: we played. He's like, don't hit it. It's going out
Speaker 2: scared with a ball is ten feet over my head
Speaker 2: and I can't reach it. You don't need to tell
Speaker 2: me not to hit it. I can't hit it. Fuck you.
Speaker 2: Here we go, howie, here we go, Here we go,
Speaker 2: Here we go. It's all characters, man, it's all. It's all.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of nice people. I really like it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but within every every ten, there's one where you go,
Speaker 2: you know. Okay, So one last thing about pickleball. When
Speaker 2: do you tell me what you would do? Scary? Uh huh?
Speaker 2: So remember I tell you about the woman who just
Speaker 2: got to two seven five? Yes, So I'm playing with
Speaker 2: all threes. So when you lose, the two people at
Speaker 2: lost move on to the to another court. Whoever ended
Speaker 2: next you go and you split. So, uh, let's say
Speaker 2: her name was was Susan, the girl, the girl who
Speaker 2: is new neewer Susan? And I lose why because she's new?
Speaker 2: And we go to another court where they're supposed to split.
Speaker 2: It's a woman and a guy, and we come over
Speaker 2: and we we just go to whatever random side we
Speaker 2: choose to go to. Now there's a there's a big
Speaker 2: guy on one side and a woman on the other side. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: we'll call We'll call her Amy. And so when I
Speaker 2: come on the court with Susan, who's clearly not as
Speaker 2: good as the rest of us, she goes to stand
Speaker 2: next to the woman Amy, and I'm like, all right,
Speaker 2: I'll play with the big guy. So then Amy says,
Speaker 2: now that's not fair. Nope, this isn't gonna work. Well, who, like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking? Who's to say? Well, apparently she is,
Speaker 2: So she says, yeah, Susan's and you two guys are
Speaker 2: both you both good? So, uh, yeah, you guys can't
Speaker 2: play together. I'm sorry. Ohthough, she's just judging. Did just
Speaker 2: just calling it out arbitrarily. She's not on our level,
Speaker 2: so it's not fair. I'm not playing with her her face.
Speaker 3: Wow, they don't mind insulting each other that way? Huh sorry,
Speaker 3: I mean because honestly, that's I mean, you you say
Speaker 3: that in someone's face, it's just so insulting.
Speaker 2: So I say, Amy, we're not here to win every game.
Speaker 2: When I'm playing in a tournament for a trophy. I said,
Speaker 2: Susan's good, she's good, she's fighting. No, I don't like
Speaker 2: her serve. I saw it's not a good serve. What
Speaker 2: caddy bitches man. So Susan's like, all right, I'll go
Speaker 2: play with the other. Oh that's not cool. So I
Speaker 2: got stuck playing with am so I was like, no, fuck,
Speaker 2: I said, you know what. So the only option me
Speaker 2: to play Susan again. And now you're being Braddy, So
Speaker 2: who cares? No, I wasn't being braddy. I played with
Speaker 2: Susan because I volunteered to play with her. She's like, no,
Speaker 2: you and I played already David, so I have to
Speaker 2: play with I'm not gonna say the guy's name. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna play with the big guy. So I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I just played with Susan. No, I'm not. It's
Speaker 2: not fair, scary. You played till eleven Susan and I
Speaker 2: won eleven seven. Wow over over. Amy has to play
Speaker 2: with the big guy, so you never know who you're
Speaker 2: playing with or who's gonna win. But fuck you Amy
Speaker 2: if you see amye right, yeah, so if you see Amy,
Speaker 2: because how fucking fucked up is that. That's like if
Speaker 2: you're choosing sides for like a baseball game, and remember
Speaker 2: in the playground you always choose upsides, and like, you know, scared,
Speaker 2: you always pick lass, right, so you know what heay what?
Speaker 2: Not all the time? Not all the time. I wasn't
Speaker 2: picked first, but uh, you know when I played at camp,
Speaker 2: like day camp, uh huh, they would do stuff like,
Speaker 2: all right, well we'll take we'll take Jimmy, but you
Speaker 2: have to give us an extra two runs to start
Speaker 2: the game in front of Jimmy, Like Jimmy was so bad.
Speaker 2: They were like, you have to give us runs. It
Speaker 2: will take Jimmy, but you have to give us an
Speaker 2: extra well start the game winning to nothing. Nah, how
Speaker 2: fucking cruel is that? That's that's basically what Amy did
Speaker 2: to Susan. Yeah, I can't play with hers, not on
Speaker 2: our level. You have to play with her. You have
Speaker 2: to eat it out. You guys feel like we're a
Speaker 2: bitch of children here. Really, I feel like I feel
Speaker 2: like we're a bunch.
Speaker 3: Of twelve year olds. You guys have not graduated from
Speaker 3: being twelve. No consideration, no decency. You guys are awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's terrible. It's supposed to be a fun sport.
Speaker 2: I'm not playing with her. I don't like her. Serve
Speaker 2: with Sari and Brodie. We're flying by today. What's going
Speaker 2: on here? Well, you hit the commercials so fast. I
Speaker 2: forgot to ask the slices to do a little homework. Oh,
Speaker 2: we were talking about when I say, you know, getting
Speaker 2: picked last, or or calling out another pick a ball
Speaker 2: player that they saw to their face. When you played,
Speaker 2: when you were younger, even as an adult, were you
Speaker 2: ever like on teams choosing up sides or in a
Speaker 2: team sport where you got picked last, or you were
Speaker 2: the guy picking and you had to pick someone last,
Speaker 2: and uh, they sucked. You don't want them on your
Speaker 2: team because they were really really bad. Or were you
Speaker 2: that person that was really really bad and got picked last,
Speaker 2: and then what did you do? Leave us talk back?
Speaker 2: Did you? Were you great? And they didn't realize it
Speaker 2: because you were overweight? But you were great and they
Speaker 2: just assumed that you weren't any good. So let me
Speaker 2: let me know, leave us talk back. Okay. So I
Speaker 2: got a I got a meme sent to me from
Speaker 2: from one of the slices, and I thought it was
Speaker 2: it was pretty good. Let me see if I can
Speaker 2: pull that up here. It made me laugh. It was
Speaker 2: from Oh the kick Loough from justin Oh. Yeah. It
Speaker 2: says a new rule. If I order my food standing
Speaker 2: up at a counter, I am not tipping.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let me think of when that would be. Oh,
Speaker 3: pretty much pretty much anywhere? Uh right, anywhere except for
Speaker 3: sitting at a restaurant. Right, you're not tipping Chipotle?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know, man, I think, uh, if you're
Speaker 2: carrying your food to your own table, what.
Speaker 3: If I'm what if I'm ordering it standing up and
Speaker 3: they give me one of those stands with the number
Speaker 3: on it and I go sit at my table and
Speaker 3: then they delivered to the table.
Speaker 2: Well, how do you tip? Then you have to hand
Speaker 2: them a dollar bill or whatever or whatever. Two dollars.
Speaker 3: I think that counts because it's too late to add
Speaker 3: it to the jack. What if you carry the food
Speaker 3: to the table, but they bust your table.
Speaker 2: That's after the fact, you after you leave. Oh you
Speaker 2: mean they clean your table off before you sit down. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well that happened to me. Yeah, I'm on tipping certain places.
Speaker 2: I went to Yardhouse, which I love, and the hostess said,
Speaker 2: I said, how long for a booth? She said, oh,
Speaker 2: like twenty minutes. I get your table right away. Ah,
Speaker 2: I kind of want a booth. She's, well, I have
Speaker 2: a booth right there, but it just has to be
Speaker 2: cleaned off. I'm like, oh, wait, you clean the booth off.
Speaker 2: That's fine. So she took a rag and a spray bottle.
Speaker 2: She cleaned it off and then threw the menus down. Well,
Speaker 2: there's no way to tip harsh. She's not the waitress, right,
Speaker 2: and I didn't have any cash on me, so that's
Speaker 2: like a thank you. But that that that's that's off topic.
Speaker 2: Though I didn't oweer a tip, did I? She cleaned
Speaker 2: the table, She's supposed to clean it. I mean, buses
Speaker 2: clean tables, that's what they do.
Speaker 3: I think it's it's not a black and white situation
Speaker 3: where it's like, if I'm standing up to order, no tip.
Speaker 3: I mean I like that as a general rule, but
Speaker 3: that's not necessarily that.
Speaker 2: There's an example of a place where you'd stand up
Speaker 2: at a counter or drive through or whatever and you
Speaker 2: feel off, I gave you one. Where where would the
Speaker 2: cashier get it?
Speaker 3: No, like if they give you your umbreen around, if
Speaker 3: there's if there's preparation involved in making your.
Speaker 2: Food, they're just every restaurant, which is.
Speaker 3: It's not like it's coming off a conveyor belt, right, Like,
Speaker 3: let's face it, the fast food spots.
Speaker 2: Somebody put the burger in the microwave. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 2: take it and pay the salary right when I'm going
Speaker 2: to listen if I'm going to the bathroom, and then
Speaker 2: the guy turns the water on for me and I
Speaker 2: and I washed my hands and he squirted a soap
Speaker 2: in my hands, and then he hands me a towel
Speaker 2: and then opens the door for me, so I don't
Speaker 2: have to touch the door with all the germs on it.
Speaker 2: That guy's getting a tip. What if you go in though,
Speaker 2: and as you walk into the sink, you go, I'm good.
Speaker 2: Then he's you don't need his.
Speaker 3: Help, and then then he's got that array of candy
Speaker 3: and mint and things, and then you know you're expected
Speaker 3: to tip on that, and that's kind.
Speaker 2: If he helps me, I I give him a dollar,
Speaker 2: A dollar, I don't. I don't walk all with money.
Speaker 2: Two dollars, three dollars. Maybe he takes if he takes
Speaker 2: Google pay, I can tap.
Speaker 3: My phone list. Now they have all the they have
Speaker 3: the QR codes sitting right there. There's there's you can't
Speaker 3: get out of not you can't get out of tipping
Speaker 3: by not having cash anymore because everyone's got the QR
Speaker 3: code on display.
Speaker 2: They were panhandlers out out by Javit Center. When I
Speaker 2: went to Comic Con, they were like venmo medium right,
Speaker 2: Like you got a bank account? What are you? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 2: I am not a fan. Okay, scary. How about this
Speaker 2: this there's a convenience store. Who's by the way, who's
Speaker 2: the the Kicklow real Kicklow? Yeah? Justin? I love him,
Speaker 2: good guy, Yeah Justin? Okay, I love you, brother.
Speaker 3: But there, seriously, I think that it's a case by
Speaker 3: case situation.
Speaker 2: You go to McDonald's. Are you tipping at McDonalds? Are
Speaker 2: you tipping at Chipotle? No, okay, So how about this
Speaker 2: at the convenience store where I sometimes go for late
Speaker 2: night milk, like we need milk, like, go get milk.
Speaker 2: Or it's where they sell lottery tickets. So the guy
Speaker 2: stands behind the counter with the bulletproof glass and it's
Speaker 2: a little opening and that's where the cigarettes are behind
Speaker 2: the counter and the lottery tickets. Whatever. If I go up,
Speaker 2: let's say I want to buy milk, maybe some ring dings,
Speaker 2: you know, late night snack whatever. Yep, he's got an
Speaker 2: iPad screen on a pedestal and he takes your card,
Speaker 2: He taps the card and he turns the screen around
Speaker 2: for a tip.
Speaker 3: What the fuck? Well, yeah, we've talked about this. It's
Speaker 3: the swivel, the eyepill, the iPad swivel l tip. No,
Speaker 3: because I'm not a convenience so a lot of these places,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a it's a guilt thing. It's that's
Speaker 3: why people are tipping more in situations that they make
Speaker 3: you picked out my own name, make you feel awkward.
Speaker 3: We've had this conversation that makes you feel awkward. The
Speaker 3: iPad swivel makes them makes you feel awkward. Because you're
Speaker 3: actually paying digitally and then and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the tip screen comes up. So it's not like it's
Speaker 3: not like they're soliciting you for the tip. It's the
Speaker 3: screen which is doesn't it doesn't have a human quality
Speaker 3: to it is asking you to tip.
Speaker 2: And then you're looking up and you're looking down. You're
Speaker 2: looking up, and you're like, oh fuck, all right, fifteen percent,
Speaker 2: all right, ten percent. I'm not I'm not tipping the
Speaker 2: convenience store guy, I'm not, do you. It's gonna get
Speaker 2: so bad when you go to strip clubs and the
Speaker 2: strippers are gonna have QR codes all right and tip screens?
Speaker 2: What about? What about? Uh? Tip? Tip screens?
Speaker 3: Do you do the round up round up for charity
Speaker 3: where they round up to the nearest dollar.
Speaker 2: It depends. If I'm at pet smart, I might because
Speaker 2: the money goes to dogs. See I do the round
Speaker 2: up all the time. It depends what the charity is,
Speaker 2: and it depends what the round up is. If it's
Speaker 2: nineteen oh one, I don't know if I want to
Speaker 2: round up to twenty nineteen seventy three, I round up
Speaker 2: if I wasn't gonna give a dollar, why am I
Speaker 2: suddenly giving ninety nine sense? I just want to get
Speaker 2: the dog food get out. I might ring it up
Speaker 2: for him. It was nineteen oh one. You know you're
Speaker 2: not gonna given look for a dollar. I'm not in it.
Speaker 2: I listen, I donate the charities, but I'm not on
Speaker 2: the spur of the moment, I'm like, what, I gotta
Speaker 2: read the fine print? Who's the money? If it's over
Speaker 2: fifty cents, I definitely round up. But if it's under
Speaker 2: fifty cents, you don't. I don't know. That doesn't make
Speaker 2: any sense. Stept both ways. Okay, slices. First of all, slices.
Speaker 2: Should I be tipping the guy at the convenience store, who,
Speaker 2: by the way, looks like he probably owns the place? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Am I tipped him for my ring dings? He rang
Speaker 2: that he tapped my card on the screen. He never
Speaker 2: even took He took possession of the ring dings for
Speaker 2: a second, scanned the ball code, tap my credit card,
Speaker 2: and then wants a tip for that. You know, a
Speaker 2: fuck out of here.
Speaker 3: I heard that when you get a haircut and they
Speaker 3: own the place, if it's the person who owns it,
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to tip them because they own the place.
Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah? They get the full amount of money.
Speaker 2: They get the full of mount When somebody cuts your
Speaker 2: hair works there, they're probably getting like fifteen dollars an
Speaker 2: hour and they get like five dollars air come.
Speaker 3: Is the reason that we're tipping because you feel bad
Speaker 3: for them they not making enough money, or because they.
Speaker 2: Did it, or because they did a good job. Staff.
Speaker 2: The reason you tip wait staff is in most states
Speaker 2: they get paid like three twenty five an hour.
Speaker 3: But you're tipping because they get a good they did
Speaker 3: a good job. What's the motivating twenty dollars an hour?
Speaker 3: I don't have the necessarily, what's the motivation for a tip?
Speaker 3: Because they did a great job for you. So so
Speaker 3: if if someone cut my hair and it was a
Speaker 3: worker versus the owner of the shop, I should still
Speaker 3: tip the owner of the shop because they did a
Speaker 3: good job, right, I mean, it's it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: You're a return customer. That's the greatest tip for the owner.
Speaker 2: Imaginable they get the full amount. Yeah, do you do
Speaker 2: you tip when the guy pumps your gas?
Speaker 3: If I had a dollar for every time we got
Speaker 3: into tipping debates on this prop podcast.
Speaker 2: And by the way, why don't women pump gas? And
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's not one in Oklahoma somewhere, I'm saying, pumpkin.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the last time I went into a
Speaker 2: gas station and a woman came up and said, not
Speaker 2: not the one of the old lady. I told you,
Speaker 2: told me that you have to use the app to
Speaker 2: fill it up all the time. I'm talking about a
Speaker 2: twenty five year old, relatively attractive young girl working away
Speaker 2: through college or master's degree whatever, pumping gas. Why is that?
Speaker 2: Is that because the men harass them? It's dangerous?
Speaker 3: Is that what it is? It's a danger thing. Yes,
Speaker 3: especially at night in ceedy neighborhoods. You don't want to
Speaker 3: get out of your car. I don't want to get
Speaker 3: to my car. I don't want to get out of
Speaker 3: my car.
Speaker 2: Neighborhoods if I'm a nice neighborhoods, I see lots of
Speaker 2: the young women women.
Speaker 3: I guess guys, they they're exposed, they they're they're volatile,
Speaker 3: they're you know, there's you don't know what could happen.
Speaker 3: You don't know if there's sketchy people hanging around the
Speaker 3: gas station at any time of day in any neighborhood.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, you think it's a safety issue.
Speaker 2: You don't think I didn't go up liking cars kind
Speaker 2: of thing or no. I give them credit for knowing
Speaker 2: more than me. Women. Some women knew how to fix
Speaker 2: a flat. I never liked Maddie. I feel like Maddie
Speaker 2: from the Bronxton, Brooklyn. She would pump gas.
Speaker 3: Yeah I would, I would say so, I would say
Speaker 3: Reggie would pump gass. I think most of the women
Speaker 3: listening to this podcast pump their own gas.
Speaker 2: I don't think Jamie from Queen's pumps your own gas,
Speaker 2: but they do it in the daytime in the area
Speaker 2: from Queens, they don't. You don't pump me, you know,
Speaker 2: Oh you have to pump your own gas.
Speaker 3: You gotta Jersey. If you're Jersey, then you're not allowed to,
Speaker 3: so you don't have to. To moot point, I never
Speaker 3: put my own gas when they're not looking. I don't bother,
Speaker 3: but if they take too long, I get out of
Speaker 3: the car. I pumped the gas.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna if you had a so, if you
Speaker 2: had a daughter, you'd say, don't pump gas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would. I would suggest that now, Oka. But
Speaker 3: as far as when it comes to cars, and some
Speaker 3: women know more than me, like as you know, like
Speaker 3: I don't you.
Speaker 2: Leave the car running when you get gassed. What do
Speaker 2: you know? I've never fixed a flat never. I've never
Speaker 2: changed a flat. You don't fix You've never changed a
Speaker 2: flat tire never? Wow, I get the hand, Jack culturple A,
Speaker 2: culturple a. It depends if there's too much stuff in
Speaker 2: my trunk and I can't get to the tire ill
Speaker 2: cultriple a. I have service, but I can change my
Speaker 2: on tire. There was a couple of days I was
Speaker 2: late for work. I was changing my tire on root seven. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's also with the potholes. That's dangerous. I had to
Speaker 2: get to work. I can change a flat tire in
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. I'm not gonna wait an hour and a
Speaker 2: half for roadside assistance. Sometimes. Oh my god, Brodie at
Speaker 2: that time of day. How did you grow up not
Speaker 2: knowing how to change a tire?
Speaker 3: I don't know, But you know it's weird because my
Speaker 3: dad was basically a mechanic and knew how to do well.
Speaker 2: He had all the know how. He was everything for you.
Speaker 2: Every Saturday afternoon he was under the car. See, my
Speaker 2: father made it a point. My father knew how to
Speaker 2: work on cars, but he taught me. He goes you
Speaker 2: got to learn how to change a tire, showed me
Speaker 2: how to work the jack, pump up the car all
Speaker 2: you volume. Nona asked your question, scary do you loosen
Speaker 2: the lug nuts before or after the car goes up?
Speaker 3: It's always before, right, because you don't want to. Right,
Speaker 3: you don't want to you don't want to have to
Speaker 3: turn that and and God.
Speaker 2: Forbidden the call. The call the car falls down. Well,
Speaker 2: it's because you don't want to pull the car the
Speaker 2: car and push weight on the car, right, yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right? And how many lugnuts are on a typical
Speaker 2: wheel American car four five? See I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: The hell Yeah, car talk, Car talk, Car talk on
Speaker 2: the bar Brooking Boys podcast. If you got a call,
Speaker 2: I want to talk about some parts and some rebuilt engines.
Speaker 2: Call us up and we're SPONSI sponsored by pet Boys.
Speaker 2: Many mow and jack. Yeah nah, there's I passed the
Speaker 2: place today. It's a there's a pet Boys and it
Speaker 2: says we will beat any price. Yeah sure, Now if
Speaker 2: I'm if I'm a place up the street. I'll start
Speaker 2: selling tires for five bucks, so I have to go
Speaker 2: over there again if it's full bucks. That, by the way,
Speaker 2: that is not a sign that you want to show.
Speaker 3: David Brody, if you own a business, I will find
Speaker 3: a way, my friend, because he will find a way.
Speaker 2: Well, there's loopholes. They get you on loopholes now like
Speaker 2: best Buy. There'll beat any price if it's an advertised
Speaker 2: price from a place that they consider legitimate, that they
Speaker 2: consider legitimate, which is subject subject to change. Right, It's
Speaker 2: like people, I don't you know. I won't get into
Speaker 2: where I was going, but sometimes you will go like
Speaker 2: will I will trust it if it's fair, but then
Speaker 2: say it's not fair whatever it is. Oh, I absolutely
Speaker 2: will trust what happens if it's fair, absolutely, But then
Speaker 2: if it doesn't happen to you, it's not fair. So
Speaker 2: that's what they do. They go, won't match any price
Speaker 2: unless we don't like that price. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know about pep boys. They'll match any price.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what we really match it? What if I
Speaker 2: know a guy who give me you all change for
Speaker 2: eleven dollars, we would give it all change for eleven
Speaker 2: dollars a week. You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Whenever I think of a whenever I think of a
Speaker 3: car park place, all I think is right. But yet
Speaker 3: I've never been doing O'Reilly's, nor have I.
Speaker 2: Ever seen O'Reilly Riley's parts.
Speaker 3: Now for the I could sing that in my sleep.
Speaker 3: I've never I've never seen an auto I've never seen

Speaker 2: And now there are some places just not have you
Speaker 2: seen a brick and mortar O'Reilly's auto park? What they exist?

Speaker 3: Growing up in New York, we've heard those commercials forever,
Speaker 3: like they're advertising to us and we're not even like,
Speaker 3: why are you advertising the product or a place or
Speaker 3: service that we don't have access to.
Speaker 2: It's say the Internet, why do you why do you
Speaker 2: advertise Amazon? Well, now it makes sense you go online.
Speaker 3: But but then it made no sense growing up all
Speaker 3: those years before the internet's, hearing those O'Reilly's commercials made
Speaker 3: no sense. What about you know, it's almost like them
Speaker 3: was never back in the day, there was never an
Speaker 3: it was never a sign they buy national commercials. That's
Speaker 3: why When you watch football games, sometimes there's national commercials
Speaker 3: and you're like, I've never been to that that place. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Raising Canes just came to New York, but the commercial
Speaker 3: has been running for years nationally. Danbury, Connecticut, New Milford, Connecticut,
