Speaker 1: Start aft dot up, start up, Brooklyn Boy, start up,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys, start dat up. They're making noise. Dat up
Speaker 1: dot up. Episode one eighties six. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so my Walkers and Talkers podcast, which we started a
Speaker 1: year before the Brooklyn Boys podcast, my co host Jamie
Speaker 1: and I started it. Um, we're up to episode one
Speaker 1: ninety three. I think so, because, uh, we take some
Speaker 1: time off occasionally because sometimes the Walking we do a
Speaker 1: Walking Dead review show. Then we review all three Walking
Speaker 1: Dead shows and then a couple of the shows. But
Speaker 1: sometimes we take a few weeks off here and there.
Speaker 1: So in our taking weeks off, the Brooklyn Boys is
Speaker 1: only seven episodes behind, right, So now you mention that
Speaker 1: six because when it was one eighty six of Walkers
Speaker 1: and Talkers, I went on a little speech about how
Speaker 1: it reminds me of six, which is the last time
Speaker 1: the Mets won the World Series. And guess what the
Speaker 1: way they're playing today? Oh my god, I don't think
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a World Series from them for several
Speaker 1: years to come. I'm really sports fan discussed and your
Speaker 1: team's discussed place for May, June and July, and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my God, we're gonna, We're gonna, We're gonna win
Speaker 1: the division finally, and then a couple of players get
Speaker 1: injured and they just they loose. It's terrible. I bit
Speaker 1: my tongue early in the year because when the Mets
Speaker 1: were on a roll in first place and the Yankees
Speaker 1: were shooting the bed, a lot of my Met friends,
Speaker 1: fans friends were mouthing off at the Yankee fans like ha, ha, look,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, guys, don't do it. It happens every year,
Speaker 1: wait till past the All Star break. Every year they
Speaker 1: happened first place, but the Mets usually hold on. The
Speaker 1: Mets usually have a great run early and shipped the
Speaker 1: bed towards the end. Let's go back to two thousand
Speaker 1: seven two when they when they choked, like at the
Speaker 1: end of the season in September. What I'm trying to
Speaker 1: say is turning into a sports podcast. What I'm saying
Speaker 1: is this, you aren't surprised. I was so not surprised.
Speaker 1: I mean, my eyes couldn't roll harder out of my
Speaker 1: head than they have been the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: to see the Mets drop. We're up to five in
Speaker 1: a row. Now that we lost. Yeah, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, they got rained out a lot last week,
Speaker 1: which is the best thing that could happen. But because
Speaker 1: of the pandemic rules, and they don't want you to
Speaker 1: have to like be around the other players anymore than
Speaker 1: you have to be used to be in baseball. If
Speaker 1: the game was rained, like the rain was so bad
Speaker 1: prior to the middle of the fifth inning, they would
Speaker 1: cancel the game and you play a whole new game.
Speaker 1: Now because of the pandemic rules, you just continue with
Speaker 1: the next day. So like, I don't earlier last week,
Speaker 1: maybe I think it was last week. The Mets were
Speaker 1: getting hammered early and then the rain came, so I
Speaker 1: was like, yes, the old expression is when your team
Speaker 1: is bad, you pray for rain in baseball, so I
Speaker 1: was praying for rain forgetting about the rule. So the
Speaker 1: game gets rained rained postponed, and instead of the Mets
Speaker 1: having a fresh clean and slate, they had to continue
Speaker 1: to get him pick it up from being slaughtered after
Speaker 1: three innings being beaten, and had to continue to get beaten.
Speaker 1: I think they lost like fourteen of four Gusta or
Speaker 1: something like that. I will never ever be I always
Speaker 1: bite my tongue I never once this season said yeah,
Speaker 1: let's come because here here we go and Yankees are
Speaker 1: on the rise and the Mets are on the fall.
Speaker 1: Speaking of you not being the biggest sports guy, you
Speaker 1: played golf this week. You see that. I was gonna apologize.
Speaker 1: I was gonna have said, yeah, I shouldn't have said
Speaker 1: you played golf. You were there in a golfing environment,
Speaker 1: on a golf course while people were playing golf. Yes,
Speaker 1: you were doing you what you were you were Um,
Speaker 1: you were reorganizing the dirt, that's what you were doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. I was actually creating new jobs for the
Speaker 1: people who take care of the grass, like, oh look,
Speaker 1: we gotta we do the grass again because there's all
Speaker 1: these divots in it, because he's some dirt. If you
Speaker 1: were rost some friends, you would have been saying, da
Speaker 1: great reference. So you got a couple of points on
Speaker 1: that one. You know. I was part of a charity
Speaker 1: event and I was so excited. It was a charity
Speaker 1: case and a charity event. And I went with Gandhi
Speaker 1: from our show the picture on to what looked like
Speaker 1: you went to saw I'm not saying an in bed
Speaker 1: so a Gandhi put up video of you driving down
Speaker 1: a road which was lined with trees, beautifully kept, perfect trees.
Speaker 1: It looked like something out of a movie. Right. So
Speaker 1: you're on a one lane road or you know, one
Speaker 1: one lane each way, and off in the distance is
Speaker 1: a castle looking castle was a castle in the sky.
Speaker 1: It didn't look real. You like, driving down this road.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's a quarter mile long at least,
Speaker 1: and there's nothing at the end of the road except
Speaker 1: the castle. Castle on the hill, just like she said.
Speaker 1: That's it's called Okeka Castle and it's in and it
Speaker 1: is on the National Suffolk border of Long Island, in
Speaker 1: Huntington's Long Island. You can call it Woodberry. It's off
Speaker 1: of Jericho Turnpike. You know, you know I love Jericho,
Speaker 1: my favorite turnpike. Yeah, your favorite turn pike to these
Speaker 1: days or maybe not so much. I don't know. Jericho's
Speaker 1: really that's a stretch, bro, I'll tell you what a stretches. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You try to have your own day. Yeah. So we
Speaker 1: went to so we went to Oh he Could Castle
Speaker 1: for a charity event. It was a two day to
Speaker 1: night thing. We did party in the night and then
Speaker 1: we did a golf thing in the daytime. Now, originally
Speaker 1: we were not supposed to play. But Johnny Damon, who
Speaker 1: used to play for the Yankees and some other teams
Speaker 1: and the Red Sox, he uh he was a big
Speaker 1: fan uh and was going to go golfing that day.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately he had some personal issues. There was um,
Speaker 1: I guess the death in the family. Whatever. He didn't
Speaker 1: make it to he could castle, so they scratched him.
Speaker 1: And now you have to understand, Brodie, people paid ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to have a foursome on the golf course
Speaker 1: with a with a celebrity. I know that sounds filthy
Speaker 1: if you're a non golfer. Four people go out on
Speaker 1: the golf course together and then the fifth person is
Speaker 1: a celebrity. Someone paid ten thous dollars for the rights
Speaker 1: to have a golfing outing. Again, old money goes to
Speaker 1: charity with with Johnny Damon as a celebrity. How do
Speaker 1: you think that conversation went when they in the back
Speaker 1: office had a rearrange kind of refund or something and
Speaker 1: they said, hey, Johnny couldn't make it today. So you
Speaker 1: get Scary Jones and Gandhi from the Elves to Rand
Speaker 1: Warring Show and see wow, that's equal right. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know what, she's the great great granddaughter of Gandhi something.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, that's a couple of hundred bucks. As
Speaker 1: luck would have it, one of the guys in the
Speaker 1: foursome was a huge fan of our morning show and said,
Speaker 1: we'll definitely take them. Yeah, okay, Johnny, can't make it
Speaker 1: call scary and Gandhi. Well, Gandhi actually happens to have
Speaker 1: a little gusto when it comes to golf. She knows
Speaker 1: what she's doing and she's Gandhi has been there before.
Speaker 1: Gandhi's like like golfed. She had her boyfriend golves a
Speaker 1: lot and she obviously that was a good student. And
Speaker 1: the point, the point is you you cannot golf, right.
Speaker 1: So you got these four guys thinking they're in the Masters,
Speaker 1: you know, earning their green jackets, Gandhi holding her own
Speaker 1: and here I am you should have been holding your holding.
Speaker 1: I would have been better off, should been playing with
Speaker 1: your own putter. I was brodie. How do you take
Speaker 1: a whack at the golf? At the how do you
Speaker 1: take a swing? How do you how do you take
Speaker 1: a whack and and miss the fucking ball three times
Speaker 1: in a row. That's what I here's how you don't
Speaker 1: do that. You miss it twice and then you stop swinging.
Speaker 1: That's how you don't miss it three times. I was
Speaker 1: so embarrassed. I was. They were like, you have to
Speaker 1: stand up next to the ball. You have to line
Speaker 1: up ball. Thank you, Honeymooners Norton. Great joke. Uh. Yes, So,
Speaker 1: So I don't know what I did wrong, but I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what I did right. Um, I left the
Speaker 1: golf course early and let these guys play their game
Speaker 1: and finish off because honestly, five six hours with us
Speaker 1: on the field, we were just slowing it down. Did
Speaker 1: you say field? Of course that's also a problem right there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I lost the two balls that I did hit
Speaker 1: ended up in the water. Lost them. So I'm not
Speaker 1: good for golfing. Golfing is not good for me. I'll
Speaker 1: drive the court the car all day, I'll eat the
Speaker 1: food at the halfway point, I'll drink the drinks, and
Speaker 1: I'll be there for a great conversation. But do not
Speaker 1: came on the clubhouse guy. You're more of a guy.
Speaker 1: I'm a clubhouse and the shower and lockers guy. After
Speaker 1: some guys are on the back nine. You're just on
Speaker 1: your back exactly, chilling on a chase lost. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was great. We raised money for d up
Speaker 1: on cancer. So it was a great chair all right,
Speaker 1: no jokes. Everything that you ask your own d up
Speaker 1: on cancer, d up on cancer, right, so it was
Speaker 1: d up on cancer. Is that's a good cause. I'm
Speaker 1: not making fun of the cause, just you yeah, just
Speaker 1: because that. Yeah. So anyway, that was it. That was fine.
Speaker 1: That one day was that. That was on on Monday,
Speaker 1: on Monday. So let me see what I did. What
Speaker 1: I did Sunday Monday. My daughter, my middle daughter is
Speaker 1: away at college. Now. We drove her up to uh
Speaker 1: to college up State New York. And college is beautiful
Speaker 1: and it's oh god, it was. It was a number
Speaker 1: of hours, many many hour drive from where we live. Okay, yep.
Speaker 1: And as you know, again, what I'm gonna say is nothing.
Speaker 1: It's not an insult on rural areas. I'm just pointing
Speaker 1: out the differences in rural areas to the city ish
Speaker 1: area I live in that we grew up in. So
Speaker 1: some of the turns, once you get off the main roads,
Speaker 1: we're going by barns and farms and and trailer homes
Speaker 1: and it's fine. But it's like open space, right, it's
Speaker 1: like corn fields and his cows and and so like.
Speaker 1: From one house to the next is like a quarter mile.
Speaker 1: This tremendous space. But there's a lot of um like
Speaker 1: houses attached to silo and you know, like their bonds,
Speaker 1: which is very cool. I always wondered what happened in there,
Speaker 1: Like what do they store in there? Still a grain
Speaker 1: or corn and silos because you don't want to store wide,
Speaker 1: so you store high. Takes up less room, right, But
Speaker 1: when you have all that space, who gives a funk?
Speaker 1: If it's wide? Well, I guess again, because you don't
Speaker 1: want to waste space. You can be growing stuff on
Speaker 1: true true well anyway, so there's no bales of hay
Speaker 1: in the silos. There were bales, no I was there.
Speaker 1: Would bal say, I don't know what. Listen, people who
Speaker 1: have their own silos, they can put a missile in
Speaker 1: the silo. I don't know what's in there. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you some of the things they have grain and corn
Speaker 1: with different things. Someone will tweet you, I'm sure and
Speaker 1: tell you. But here's the thing I get. While you'd
Speaker 1: have a banner for a sports team. Right, you're a
Speaker 1: sports fan like Pittsburg Steelers, right, huge fan, Jet fan.
Speaker 1: I'm a jet fan. You put a banner. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: put a banner of a sports team on my house,
Speaker 1: though I might fly a little flag in the front,
Speaker 1: like on game day. But I don't know if I
Speaker 1: would put a banner, let's say, like a ten ft
Speaker 1: by six ft banner over the side of my house.
Speaker 1: If you have that kind of space, why not on
Speaker 1: my house? If you lived where these people lived in
Speaker 1: these rural areas. Okay, so here's where I'm going. And again,
Speaker 1: if you do this, God bless you. I just it's
Speaker 1: not I don't I can't relate to it. There were
Speaker 1: a lot of banners for politicians. I think you were
Speaker 1: talking about sports teams. No, no, no, nope, nope nope.
Speaker 1: And I get you like a politician. But these homes,
Speaker 1: let's say they were like twenty ft why they weren't
Speaker 1: big houses. Half of the front of the house or
Speaker 1: two thirds of the side of the house, sometimes covering windows,
Speaker 1: were giant political banners. Some of them said they were
Speaker 1: rooting for a particular candidate, and some of them said
Speaker 1: fuck the other guy. By name, and these are local
Speaker 1: candidates for po No, no, no, these are these are
Speaker 1: big ones, are big ones. But to have a banner
Speaker 1: on your house, I'm gonna I'm just gonna say Jones
Speaker 1: because you're scared Jones. Let me say Jones. If you
Speaker 1: have a banner that says Jones or Jones twenty four
Speaker 1: right on half of your house, and then you you
Speaker 1: may have two of these banners because I saw this
Speaker 1: one a lot. Fuck Jones right, funck Jones giant back,
Speaker 1: Like I can't imagine the place where I live, where
Speaker 1: my family lives, where my kids are growing up. Like
Speaker 1: even if you want your kids not to like this
Speaker 1: particular politician, well because you got you got everyone looking
Speaker 1: at that, you got families, right, So, so is it
Speaker 1: just that there's nothing else to do in that kind
Speaker 1: of area, Like it's there's nothing to do, Like there's
Speaker 1: there's no like I mean, they do make shopping store fronts.
Speaker 1: Do you make the best corn mazes there? They got
Speaker 1: plenty of time to carve it out. It's just like
Speaker 1: you see one, you go, oh, that's interesting, right, Like
Speaker 1: sometimes you're driving around like rural areas of our of
Speaker 1: our area, Like if you're in New Jersey, you might
Speaker 1: go to half hour west right where it's a little
Speaker 1: more rural, and you might see one house with a
Speaker 1: with a flag, a flag or or a little like
Speaker 1: some things in the lawn. These scary. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: that we maybe fifteen ten twelve fifteen ft wide six
Speaker 1: eight ft hot giant flag banners. I love this guy.
Speaker 1: So I remember my car went with one with one
Speaker 1: of my other kids because we had to go up
Speaker 1: in two cars. And and she says to me, she's
Speaker 1: like interesting, I'm like yeah, So I was like, who
Speaker 1: do you think they bought it for? So again, I
Speaker 1: don't care who you vote for. It's it's not the
Speaker 1: point of this. It was just like so different, Like
Speaker 1: can you imagine in Brooklyn, Like we're growing up so
Speaker 1: close to each other, the in apartment buildings and to
Speaker 1: family houses with like at banner over the front of
Speaker 1: the whole house. It's like a billboard on your house.
Speaker 1: So alright, alright, well okay, you know so, but the
Speaker 1: thing is by putting those banners out there, they're not
Speaker 1: going to influence other people. Well, there's no change to
Speaker 1: change their right to change their minds. Like it was,
Speaker 1: it was, it was it was, It's go away from
Speaker 1: a It's almost say, nobody around this is who I
Speaker 1: I want to world to know. It's like giving the
Speaker 1: world the middle finger. Maybe not the world, maybe just
Speaker 1: the half people are driving that road occasionally exactly and
Speaker 1: pretty much half the people that that traveled down that road, right.
Speaker 1: I just was, I was like, fuck Jones fu right
Speaker 1: like I like, I would I put a fun the
Speaker 1: Yankees sign on my house. I would think about it,
Speaker 1: but not that big. I'm a mad fan, but I'm
Speaker 1: not a Yankee hater, right right, yeah, especially since you
Speaker 1: know the Yankees usually end up dominating by the end
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't want to be the guy
Speaker 1: that they're coming after, right right. Yeah, I get you.
Speaker 1: I get you. Um um um. I was gonna say this,
Speaker 1: I got more stories podcast. What's that in your dude,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is? Uh? What was that? See?
Speaker 1: He went away? The hamas gone. See it's all it's
Speaker 1: not my equipment, folks, it's Brody. See okay, he disconnected.
Speaker 1: He's resetting his line. You're you're clean it is, and
Speaker 1: now Brodie signs on you get the echo again. The
Speaker 1: Ham is now gone. Tell you what the hamba is
Speaker 1: it's gone. Oh it's there. It sounds better. Now that
Speaker 1: was good. What are you doing? I'm not doing anything.
Speaker 1: You hear me. The way it was just a second
Speaker 1: ago was even better. You keep going away and coming back.
Speaker 1: I'm here. Now it's bad. Yeah, I moved the microphone.
Speaker 1: The problem with this microphone is I know the problem
Speaker 1: with the microphone is the USB connector in the bottom
Speaker 1: is loose. And so a couple of uh six, eight
Speaker 1: weeks ago, couple of months, I opened the whole microphone
Speaker 1: up and I crimped it with pliers like you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do on YouTube video, and I tightened it. But
Speaker 1: now it's loose again, so you bump into it all
Speaker 1: you jiggle it, it disconnects for the YouTube how video.
Speaker 1: How to videos with electronic equipment never end well for me.
Speaker 1: Now this ended I did. I did worked well, it
Speaker 1: worked well. Well, that's fine. Speaking of it sounds actually
Speaker 1: it sounds like I was like before. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like the buzzer they use it on when you when
Speaker 1: you're getting a haircut. No, you know what it's the
Speaker 1: it's the fan from my laptop. I didn't turn it
Speaker 1: off this afternoon so it's been running since yesterday and
Speaker 1: I have a lot it needs a break. But now
Speaker 1: regarding haircuts, I just gonna want to tell you what
Speaker 1: happened to me on my last cut. You know, I
Speaker 1: got a fresh cut over the weekend. Yeah? Is that
Speaker 1: because you had so many appearances this week? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: because I want to talk about one specific appearance you had.
Speaker 1: I meant to grab the audio, but I didn't, but
Speaker 1: I'll describe it. And you're going, Erica, well really quickly.
Speaker 1: This happened to me, and my my hairstyles tried to
Speaker 1: cover it up. I had. I'd like to have my sideburns.
Speaker 1: I like to have my side burns down to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, lower than my ear where my cheek is
Speaker 1: whatever the case, like when my cheeks starts the cheek
Speaker 1: boat is a little bit of a sideburn. Well, she
Speaker 1: knows I like that. She cleans me up, and then
Speaker 1: she puts out the buzzers. By the way, you caught
Speaker 1: your car is an ugly piece of ship. Oh sideburn? Sorry, okay,
Speaker 1: sorry anyway, So then she puts the buzzer on the
Speaker 1: sounds like this, I mean Brodie's audio, and she goes
Speaker 1: across the sideburn, and I'm looking in the mirror like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, she cut off too much. It's like
Speaker 1: way above with the top of my ears. So now
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in well, we're nearly were the top of
Speaker 1: my ears. So she was, oh, she goes, She was,
Speaker 1: I only wanted to swim a right. Yeah. So so
Speaker 1: then she goes to the other side and she's, I
Speaker 1: gotta even it out. Now she goes. But guess what
Speaker 1: she did when she even did out. She went too
Speaker 1: high on that one. So now she's gotta go. Now
Speaker 1: she's gotta two ears are competing with each other, the
Speaker 1: two sideburns left to right to left to right to try,
Speaker 1: and they were uneven every time before Before long, I
Speaker 1: had no sideburns, less left because she couldn't get them
Speaker 1: even what do you mean you can't put hair back
Speaker 1: even as not even even as not even especially in
Speaker 1: sideburn world. So now she's anyway. So yeah, So so
Speaker 1: I have like no sideburns, so I'm trying to grow
Speaker 1: it in and not shave up there for a while. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got screwed over. So you you did an appearance.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say where it was, because you couldn't
Speaker 1: decide if you want to say where it was. But
Speaker 1: you you have an ability to do something I can't do.
Speaker 1: You can pump up a crowd even when there's no
Speaker 1: crowd there yet. You can get excited when it's not
Speaker 1: nothing to get excited about yet. And so for your Instagram,
Speaker 1: you were trying to get people to come on down.
Speaker 1: And so you've you from the great video of this
Speaker 1: beautiful place you're at. And in your video you said, come,
Speaker 1: I'm at the party's going on, join us for the party, right,
Speaker 1: and the camera was like, you know, moving around like
Speaker 1: an MTV video, but it went too far left and
Speaker 1: right and it showed there was nobody there yet, there
Speaker 1: was no party. But your energy level is always at
Speaker 1: party level, and I respect that. I wanted to give
Speaker 1: you props for that because I know later on people
Speaker 1: showed up, but at the time you were filming, they
Speaker 1: had just set everything up. It looked great, but the
Speaker 1: party really hadn't started yet. But you are your own
Speaker 1: party and I respect that. Yes, well, thank you. Well,
Speaker 1: this was just an observation whereas I feel like there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some no, that's it. I know there was
Speaker 1: I yes, I'm gonna say where it was because I
Speaker 1: have a little a little story that goes with it,
Speaker 1: and well I want just want to say I want
Speaker 1: to go there, because the way you described it would
Speaker 1: it looked like I'm starving for it. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a place called German Donna cabab Yes, they're a sponsor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to hit the jingle because I left you.
Speaker 1: German Donna Cabob is actually in the UK. And there
Speaker 1: are three stories the trip. There's a lot of them.
Speaker 1: It's like stories actually over there. All right. Well, now
Speaker 1: this is their first American location and they wanted to
Speaker 1: make a big splash, so they put a step and
Speaker 1: repeat out there with professional photography and they may come
Speaker 1: golf with Scary Jones banner. What do you call it? Yes, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: the balloon? What do you call the balloon? The balloon knot?
Speaker 1: If you don't know what leather cheerio, google leather cherio,
Speaker 1: Google balloon knot. It's my favorite expression for an urban dictionary.
Speaker 1: Let me see if it's if that's the that's what
Speaker 1: comes off? Oh god, does is to be the first
Speaker 1: thing that comes up for balloon knight because it looks
Speaker 1: like a fucking balloon, knot anyway, so the balloon. So
Speaker 1: I was at this place, right, and and then people like,
Speaker 1: what's a donner kepop all right? The very simple thing
Speaker 1: is is it's it's a gyro the Greeks. The Greeks
Speaker 1: took a meat on a stick and then and and
Speaker 1: grilled them horizontally. The Turkish came along, and they Turkish
Speaker 1: came along, put it right side up onto a spit.
Speaker 1: You've seen those before, the gyro vertical or the hero right,
Speaker 1: so the so the the again, the Greeks did it
Speaker 1: horizontally across fire. The Turkish people came, stood it up
Speaker 1: and called it donner kebab. And then somewhere in the
Speaker 1: middle there the Middle Eastern people called it schwarma. But
Speaker 1: they're they're three and the same. It's it's the stuff
Speaker 1: that you cut off of the vertical spit spins around
Speaker 1: and anyway, they put them in a pea bread. But
Speaker 1: this pizza is special because it tastes like Brodie's consistency
Speaker 1: of pizza crushed. So it's pizza crushed in one of
Speaker 1: the donna. Oh but anyway, that was the place. So
Speaker 1: that reminds me of a so we went to eat
Speaker 1: on Sunday up near the college. And so there's a
Speaker 1: little town near the college, very nice town. But from
Speaker 1: what I understand that I learned after the fact, they're
Speaker 1: having a hard time getting people to work on Sunday nights,
Speaker 1: and because school wasn't back in session yet, they didn't
Speaker 1: have the students working for them, so that everyone was
Speaker 1: short staffed. So some of the restaurants didn't open. Some
Speaker 1: of them had two hour weights, right, so we were starving.
Speaker 1: So there were two pizza places. One was closed and
Speaker 1: I don't remember the name of the other one, but
Speaker 1: it was open. It said Mediterranean food and pizza. So
Speaker 1: there were photographs of like uh, gyros, you know, and
Speaker 1: pizza and cal zones and hummus and uh so it
Speaker 1: was it was Mediterranean food, I guess, uh and pizza
Speaker 1: and pizza right now. Look, Greek people don't live that
Speaker 1: far from Italy, right as far as uh you know.
Speaker 1: So anyway, anyway, so crazy busy. The pizza was definitely pizza. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm four or five hours away from from New York,
Speaker 1: so I'm already not expecting great pete beggars can't be choosers.
Speaker 1: Right by the way. I never go into restaurants where
Speaker 1: they post pictures of the food. Well, here's the title
Speaker 1: they had. They had a cardboard professionally printed cardboard poster
Speaker 1: leaning against the ledge where the pizzas behind the glass,
Speaker 1: like like they up in the up against so standing up,
Speaker 1: and it had pictures of the food like you go
Speaker 1: to a Chinese restaurant, the pictures are up on the
Speaker 1: menu take out place. And so there was a picture
Speaker 1: of a gyro, it's a picture of some kind of
Speaker 1: Greek salad or whatever it was whatever, And there's a
Speaker 1: picture of a cow zone. The problem is it was
Speaker 1: a strumboli. So I'm like, okay, I can't order the
Speaker 1: peat in the cow zone or the strumboli because they
Speaker 1: don't even know what it's called. It's difference. Well a
Speaker 1: lot of the signmaker doesn't know the difference one or
Speaker 1: the other. Don't order the garlic knots, you might get
Speaker 1: a balloon knot right a place like this, A lot
Speaker 1: of plus plus everybody there at this place. First of all,
Speaker 1: none of them, none the more Italian, which is fine, um,
Speaker 1: but they all called it even the people like from
Speaker 1: the area, other people wherever they were from They called
Speaker 1: it cheese slices. So I said, hey, can I get
Speaker 1: a couple of slices too, chee slices? I did. I
Speaker 1: wanted to say to the guy, what are the slices there?
Speaker 1: They all have cheese, right, they all have cheese, They're
Speaker 1: all cheese. It's pizza. It's like the right, it's the
Speaker 1: white milk. So so see, he's where I got frustrated.
Speaker 1: So I go back to the table and I said
Speaker 1: to my wife and kids, I go, you know, you
Speaker 1: know the piece is not gonna be good. They call
Speaker 1: it cheese pizza, cheese pizza. So my college daughter says, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what all my friends call it. What, Yeah, cheese pizza,
Speaker 1: slice of cheese pizza. I said, it's just called it's
Speaker 1: called cheese pizzas called pizza, right, I said, I've never
Speaker 1: been more ashamed of you as my child. Pizza comes
Speaker 1: with cheese, right. But it's like calling it a beef burger.
Speaker 1: It's just a burger. Anything else is when they want
Speaker 1: to see those people are trying to clarify versus chicken
Speaker 1: versus not just burger. Burger means beef. That's what burger means.
Speaker 1: You want to call it a veggie burger. Beyond burger,
Speaker 1: chicken burger, that's fine. Turkey burger. Default is beef burger.
Speaker 1: Fault is pizza with cheese. That's that's even redundant. It's cheese,
Speaker 1: sauce and bread. That's pizza. Yes, but I know a
Speaker 1: place that serves it without sauce without that's not the same.
Speaker 1: That's cheese the speed. And they call it that. They're
Speaker 1: called no no cheese. But I'm looking up. I looked
Speaker 1: a balloon not on Urban Dictionary. Yep, it's good, right,
Speaker 1: everybody a slang term meaning yep. There you go. And
Speaker 1: they give an example. I'm going to get my balloon
Speaker 1: not licked. Wax used in a sentence usually waxed. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wax my balloon. Not today, Well, given the choice,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Have you ever had you ever watch?
Speaker 1: No me neither. No, I mean i've you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to know. The razor's gone up there. I've
Speaker 1: had up up and there up and yeah, because I
Speaker 1: you know, I shave everything there, right, I have to
Speaker 1: show and I go around around, und I go down
Speaker 1: and down under, I go under and back into the back. Okay, alright, okay,
Speaker 1: So I need to feel like we're doing a dance.
Speaker 1: This is one of those wedding dances. Into the back, ybody,
Speaker 1: clap your cheeks. Okay, now underneath and to the back,
Speaker 1: do you do the hokey pokey as well? Back there,
Speaker 1: I poke me in the hokey yeah. So um so
Speaker 1: see what you Okay? So I was sent out on
Speaker 1: a mission. Yeah. So we packed up two cars worth
Speaker 1: of stuff for my daughter's dorm room. Right. And of
Speaker 1: course once you set up you realize as things you need. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I get I've given a list batteries and a
Speaker 1: step stool and some other things, and I'm told to
Speaker 1: go to Target, which is, I don't know, twenty minutes away.
Speaker 1: So I leave. I'm on my way and I get
Speaker 1: a text message from my one of my kids. It says,
Speaker 1: Mom says, we will need more plastic drawers. Send pictures
Speaker 1: when you get to the store. See if there's a
Speaker 1: Walmart instead of Target. Go to Walmart. And then a
Speaker 1: text message comes in two minutes later says never mind,
Speaker 1: never mind the whole thing. So I went to Target.
Speaker 1: When I got to Target, I said, hey, I'm a Target.
Speaker 1: What else do we need? And my wife says, I
Speaker 1: told you go to Walmart. She said I had. I
Speaker 1: had our kid text you to a Walmart. I told
Speaker 1: her to text you yeah, but then she said never mind.
Speaker 1: So she says, oh, no, never mind was for the
Speaker 1: plastic drawers. But I wanted you to Walmart. Okay. That's
Speaker 1: why Apple in their latest iPhone, the last couple of versions,
Speaker 1: they have the reply to text on the screen there
Speaker 1: so you can click on the text you're referring to,
Speaker 1: and then the problem would have been solved. No, because
Speaker 1: it was one text. Scary, The whole thing was one text.
Speaker 1: Mom says, we'll need more plastic drawers. See if there's
Speaker 1: a Walmart instead of a Target, go there. The next
Speaker 1: text was never mind. Well, then I would have come
Speaker 1: home to completely mean about fuck you guys. I'm out. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I had a list of other things, but I went
Speaker 1: to Target, and I was told I was wrong because
Speaker 1: the list said never mind, never mind, but it only
Speaker 1: referred to the plastic drawers. So I blame my daughter. Well,
Speaker 1: you're not in mind. We are at that point, right,
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I go, how do I know it? Never?
Speaker 1: You could have asked if they were separate word bubbles.
Speaker 1: She could, Yeah, all right, never mind, right never. You're
Speaker 1: trying to apple phone me a dick. Yeah, iPhone, it's
Speaker 1: not about that. It's it wasn't it wasn't get plastic drawers.
Speaker 1: Next text message go to Walmart was all one, so
Speaker 1: your Apple wouldn't have meant anything. Yeah in this case, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, never mind, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, look you'll get you taking the break. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to edit that. No, not, we don't edit here.
Speaker 1: You cut me off against twice. I stopped cleanly twice
Speaker 1: figuring you hit the button, you hit the button, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hit the button again. I don't hit the button again.
Speaker 1: Don't hit the button again, hit the button again. Can
Speaker 1: we can we can we do some audio? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to wait to wait for the audio? No,
Speaker 1: I have the audio? Do you want the audio? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You were feeling the audio. I'm feeling the audio right now,
Speaker 1: feeling it. I'm feeling seven up. Okay. So there was
Speaker 1: a gu seventies commercial. Yes, I don't remember it, and
Speaker 1: I'm like it has That was the slogan for a
Speaker 1: long time, scary into the eighties. Anyway, don't remember. All right,
Speaker 1: you've never seen an old TV commercial? I have, but
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that one. All right? You reference to
Speaker 1: fucking honeymooners a little while ago from the forties and fifties.
Speaker 1: Hello Ball, Hello Ball. That's gotta be like ninety. Do
Speaker 1: you know that Daniel used that exact joke on the
Speaker 1: radio yesterday? Hello Ball? Yeah, but that's a classic. It's
Speaker 1: a classic show. Right, So feeling seven up? There was
Speaker 1: a Jingo feeling seven up. I'm feeling seven up. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know that one. What's something I'm jingle?
Speaker 1: Do I remember? It's the uncola? The Uncola seven is
Speaker 1: the seventies. Also, that was Jonathan what's his name? He
Speaker 1: was a Bond villain. It was early eighties. That's the
Speaker 1: earliest memories I have of any seven up commercial. Then
Speaker 1: the guy with the hat, Yeah, oh here it is.
Speaker 1: Here's Sugar Ray Leonard. Es here we go, the boxer,
Speaker 1: Sugar Leonard. I'm gonna files and less files and seven Nope,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, just my dick. What do you say that
Speaker 1: that's my dick? No, No, he says, that's just my dad.
Speaker 1: It's Sugar Ray Leonard. His Son, his boxing son, So
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson commercial would feeling seven up? It was. It
Speaker 1: was a huge If I'm being completely honest, I don't
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. I never know that compaion campaign.
Speaker 1: But you were old enough to know the eighties feeling
Speaker 1: seven up commercials. Maybe I was. It was all athletes,
Speaker 1: it was Magic Johnson, Larry Bird anyway, feeling seven up?
Speaker 1: Who is seven? Whose daughter is that? That's what? That
Speaker 1: was my own joke, and I used to say that
Speaker 1: I'm feeling seven up. I was like, hey seven I'm
Speaker 1: such a fucking child that I never heard that before
Speaker 1: And I just made that up on you made the
Speaker 1: same joke I made many many many years ago, of course,
Speaker 1: of course. Okay. So it's like when people go fuck
Speaker 1: you all and you go, who the hell's all? So okay? So, uh,
Speaker 1: there was a speech being given by a government official
Speaker 1: talking about I guess it was uh positive cases, COVID
Speaker 1: cases and states. And it was a boring speech. But
Speaker 1: the guy, I doesn't that he couldn't pronounce words like
Speaker 1: he kept like he was talking like a child. So
Speaker 1: I got a couple of them. He play ambulance first,
Speaker 1: we sent ambulances and paramedics to Missouri, ambulance Louisiana. He said,
Speaker 1: ambulances first, we sent ambulances and paramedics to I feel
Speaker 1: that the dialect of where that guy grew up. Sure,
Speaker 1: there are people listening to this right now and say
Speaker 1: saying themselves and ambulance. It's an ambulance, but right, Okay,
Speaker 1: listen to the way he says, Mrs Sippi, including hundreds
Speaker 1: of healthcare personnel in Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi. He's missing assists
Speaker 1: in there. He's missing assistance. You miss assist, don't miss
Speaker 1: a sis, don't miss including hundreds of healthcare personnel in Louisiana, Mississippi.
Speaker 1: That's lazy tongue. He's got lazy tongue. Yeah, So that
Speaker 1: househole speech was like slarn words like that, and I
Speaker 1: think your public speaker. Okay, So here's my latest in
Speaker 1: terrible commercials. I have one I want to discuss after
Speaker 1: this that I don't have audio from because it's not
Speaker 1: an audio commercial. It's visual. But this is my new
Speaker 1: oh my god. Commercial. This was a commercial that was
Speaker 1: big about a year ago and they're bringing it back.
Speaker 1: So it's a commercial for Blinkest, which is a company
Speaker 1: that takes important books summarizes them into fifteen minutes, and
Speaker 1: you can listen to him on audio, and and you
Speaker 1: don't have to read books anymore, which I guess is
Speaker 1: the downfall of our country. But it's helpful if you
Speaker 1: don't want to read books. But I want you to
Speaker 1: listen to this girl in the commercial and how unbelievably
Speaker 1: impressed she is by something that most people would probably know.
Speaker 1: And then I edited the commercials so you can hear
Speaker 1: at the end she now sounds smarter. They listen how
Speaker 1: cocky he is and his laugh at the end. Okay,
Speaker 1: so which this is? You're so smart? It's such a
Speaker 1: beautiful night. Look at the stars, they're amazing. Did you
Speaker 1: know of stars have planets orbiting them capable of sustaining life?
Speaker 1: How did you know that? You must spend a ton
Speaker 1: of time reading that? It's not that So, first of all,
Speaker 1: he's out with this girl's I guess supposed to be hot. Right,
Speaker 1: She's like, look at the stars, and rather than going
Speaker 1: like they're beautiful like your eyes, he goes, did you
Speaker 1: know that? Like twent of whatever he said, planets have
Speaker 1: sustainable life around the stars? Did you know that and
Speaker 1: she's like, you're so smart. Oh god, and then he
Speaker 1: goes on to talk about how he doesn't really read books,
Speaker 1: so she thinks he's smart. Right, So the whole point
Speaker 1: of this, this this thing, this Blinkett thing, not a sponsor,
Speaker 1: is to appear smart right now that never will be
Speaker 1: but now, but right right but now, instead of what
Speaker 1: it's not, the product is fine. Rather than appearing smart,
Speaker 1: he tells her, no, I don't actually read. I listen
Speaker 1: to clips of books, right, and so listen to listen
Speaker 1: to the clip again. He he pulls the roll with
Speaker 1: the rug out from his own feet and then wraps
Speaker 1: it up and gets like you gotta hear his laugh
Speaker 1: at the end, ahead played again, such a beautiful night.
Speaker 1: Look at the stars. They're amazing. Did you know of
Speaker 1: stars have planets orbiting them, capable of sustaining life? You
Speaker 1: know that you must spend a ton of time reading?
Speaker 1: Not at all, he's bin, Yeah, it's enough that takes
Speaker 1: key insights from over four thousand nonfiction bestsellers and gathers
Speaker 1: them into fifteen made blinks for you to read or
Speaker 1: listen to, like the stars, even the stars. Wow, Dister
Speaker 1: didn't even give her the compliment. At the end, she
Speaker 1: gave him two opportunities. Right, you know that guy ain't
Speaker 1: getting laid tonight, Right, that guy, what the fund is
Speaker 1: he thinking? And she's like, oh my god, you must
Speaker 1: you must read a lunch that if there was ever
Speaker 1: you know what that is. That's stat he just said. Scary.
Speaker 1: It's like the kind of thing you read on a
Speaker 1: fortune cookie. Yeah, like at a Snapple cap. That's what
Speaker 1: he should have said. I read Snapple caps. They effects
Speaker 1: in them of stars planted thrown them. We could stay life. Wow,
Speaker 1: you must read a lot. How much do you need
Speaker 1: to read to know one fact? Right? And she's like,
Speaker 1: like the stars. He's like, yeah, yeah, that wow. He
Speaker 1: takes no interest in her whatsoever. Probably that's he's he's
Speaker 1: got cliff notes versions of books, right, doesn't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: She's like, I want to fuck you. And he's like,
Speaker 1: let me tell you about these fake books I read.
Speaker 1: I mean you expect that ten years into a marriage,
Speaker 1: but not on your first date. How do you know stuff? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't actually read. I buy these these fifteen minute
Speaker 1: things and I use it to impress women and then
Speaker 1: I don't fuck them. Someone's not seeing any balloon, not tonight,
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. Okay, speaking of bloo speak, this
Speaker 1: was not a segway I plan, but it's the perfect segue.
Speaker 1: So this is a clip I want. I want to
Speaker 1: preface this last clip, and you're gonna want to play
Speaker 1: it more than once. This is the third third of
Speaker 1: what I had to listen to. So the first third
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh my god, I wish I was
Speaker 1: taping this. There's no way it's going to continue. The
Speaker 1: second third was me going, holy shit, it's continuing. I
Speaker 1: gotta get my phone out. And the third third is
Speaker 1: what you're gonna hear. So just no, you don't even
Speaker 1: have a clip of this commercial. You don't even have
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's not a commercial. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what it is in a minute. Just know that
Speaker 1: I listened to two thirds before what you're gonna hear
Speaker 1: that was louder and more disgusting. This is the dorm
Speaker 1: bathroom at my daughter's college when another father came in
Speaker 1: to use the stall next to me. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on here, Go ahead, play it. Oh dude,
Speaker 1: he was jerking off. No, yes he was no because
Speaker 1: he he went oh fuck what what? Okay? We was
Speaker 1: so could you describe the two thirds before? Okay? So,
Speaker 1: so here's my point though in the third, the third third,
Speaker 1: he's still struggling. Oh god, oh fuck. It happened too quickly.
Speaker 1: And by the way, he didn't wipe his ass. No,
Speaker 1: he flushed and he got up and left before I
Speaker 1: could get up, Like that's what they think. He was
Speaker 1: cranking it. No, No, because he had to know I
Speaker 1: was there, and I looked scary. I mean, unless he
Speaker 1: was giving him something and he was sitting. I could
Speaker 1: see his foot you where it should be. He wasn't
Speaker 1: standing over the bowl. Dude, if he was cranking one,
Speaker 1: play it again. Let's let's let's hear and think to
Speaker 1: see if it's because I didn't hear aready fapping? M
Speaker 1: You don't, grunty, what's the have you ever made those sounds?
Speaker 1: If you were doing that? Do you go? Oh? Fuck?
Speaker 1: It sounded like he got out like a really hard No.
Speaker 1: But to me, you would do that and then they
Speaker 1: would just be like a lull and then you flushed
Speaker 1: the toilet. You don't and there's something something didn't happen there.
Speaker 1: It sounded I didn't hear white. I didn't edit it.
Speaker 1: That's the thund He did that for three times that length,
Speaker 1: at least the latest. Oh oh, and this isn't He
Speaker 1: was the father of another student. I have to I
Speaker 1: it sounded like a father because we were in the well.
Speaker 1: I was in the the I was on the floor
Speaker 1: above my daughter, because the floor above is half boys
Speaker 1: and one end and half girls on the other and
Speaker 1: it's like a staircase in the middle. So I was
Speaker 1: in the men's bathroom. But it didn't sound like a kid.
Speaker 1: It's like an eighteen year old freshman. Fuck. So look,
Speaker 1: I know I no only wouldn't record it, it's it's
Speaker 1: sling blade too. Yeah, got a pope. Two thirds of
Speaker 1: that I missed. If I can recapture that somehow. The
Speaker 1: whole time going it's so good, get it, get it,
Speaker 1: get it, get it. He was saying the same thing
Speaker 1: in his stall. He took one Mississippi to Mississippi, Mississippi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that guy what was coming out of Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I saw. That was my segway. That was my
Speaker 1: second Wow, what did you what did you record this week?
Speaker 1: You know, you never you never think about it, but
Speaker 1: we have a recording device on us at all times.
Speaker 1: I probably should take out my phone and record more,
Speaker 1: I think. But the thing is, and you know what,
Speaker 1: it's not as creepy as trying to sneak pictures and video. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's much more inconspicuous. Right. Well, I, like I said,
Speaker 1: I normally wouldn't have done it, like let the guy
Speaker 1: have like a poop, But after it went on for
Speaker 1: so long, I'm like, it's it's God's way of saying,
Speaker 1: record this. That's the way I took it, because you
Speaker 1: know you were there. I mean, I guess there were
Speaker 1: three stalls. I was in the stall on one end.
Speaker 1: He went in the middle stall. First of all, you
Speaker 1: know that's not the move. You go to the other
Speaker 1: other end. You don't go to the middle stall. That's
Speaker 1: I don't know why he would do that. I wasn't
Speaker 1: making noise, but the door was locked. Did he not
Speaker 1: know I was there? Maybe didn't know If he knew
Speaker 1: I was there, it was in those noises. God bless him,
Speaker 1: because you know, no and and uh I heard, I heard.
Speaker 1: I heard the pool at the beginning. There was some
Speaker 1: pool at the beginning, but I didn't hear any pool
Speaker 1: like I didn't hear any water. I didn't didn't hear
Speaker 1: anything hitting the water, So your theory may not be
Speaker 1: that far off. But even even let's say, hypothetically, let's
Speaker 1: say he was uh pulling the old pud there. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's say he's in a college freshman dorm. Right, he's
Speaker 1: helping his son move into the dorm or his daughter,
Speaker 1: and he came upstairs to use the bathroom, right, did
Speaker 1: he did he just see like some eighteen year old
Speaker 1: you know what, prody. I was gonna say it, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say it. I don't Maybe he
Speaker 1: got aroused because he saw a bunch of college girls.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I don't want to get gross. Guys
Speaker 1: will know what we're talking about. Women. You are some
Speaker 1: I dam I'm sure if he was doing that right,
Speaker 1: let's say he did the oh God right at the
Speaker 1: oh ship right, he flushed immediately, there was still no
Speaker 1: wipe either either way, There was no wipe the spooping. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but but it's not always a clean escape. You
Speaker 1: gotta have something reminder, something's wrong, something I got one
Speaker 1: more commercial? Can I fit it in? Or now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Let's go. Okay, So you guys are gonna see this
Speaker 1: commercial and you're gonna you're gonna hate it. But so
Speaker 1: it's a commercial with a couple sitting in a kitchen
Speaker 1: island like a little countertop right, and they're watching television
Speaker 1: and it's a lottery drawing and they see they just
Speaker 1: won the lottery and they're holding the winning ticket, but
Speaker 1: it's it's it's sitting on the counter right, like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, we won, and it's sitting on the counter
Speaker 1: that the the the countertop is maybe like five by
Speaker 1: five square countertop. They get so excited one of them
Speaker 1: knocks over a glass of something that looks like wine
Speaker 1: or soda and it's spilled on the counter and it's
Speaker 1: moving towards the ticket. Okay, they scream. Now they're in
Speaker 1: slow motion. Then the voiceover comes on and says, Bounty
Speaker 1: is the quicker picker Upper. One of them, in slow
Speaker 1: motion grabs a roll of Bounty, unwraps the bounty, and
Speaker 1: then wipes the counter before the dark liquid can ruin
Speaker 1: the ticket. Am I making sense so far? Okay, So
Speaker 1: you have a winning lottery ticket that first of all,
Speaker 1: would still be acceptable if forgot wet. You're trying to
Speaker 1: protect it. You have the time to grab a roll
Speaker 1: of bounty, unwrap the roll of bounty, and then wipe
Speaker 1: the liquid as it's rolling on a flat surface. Why not, No,
Speaker 1: why don't you just take the ticket and swipe it,
Speaker 1: pull away from the fucking yes, pull the ticket off
Speaker 1: the table. Thank you, Paul, the ticket off the table.
Speaker 1: You saw it coming. You go and get a roll
Speaker 1: of bounty, and you unwrapped the Why wasn't the bounty unwrapped.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why they did
Speaker 1: that way because they would not have the bounty commercial sho.
Speaker 1: That's right if they did it the other way, right.
Speaker 1: Somebody was so clever. They're going, I got a great idea.
Speaker 1: We'll have the liquid going towards the ticket. That it
Speaker 1: wasn't acid. It wasn't gonna burn up the ticket. It
Speaker 1: would have made the ticket brown. It was like soda.
Speaker 1: It was not a big deal. They went and got there.
Speaker 1: They could have just picked the ticket up. The guy
Speaker 1: was looking like like they said, I'm gonna get the bound.
Speaker 1: But I think the UPC symbol would still work if
Speaker 1: you scanned it. You know. No, No, I mean, like,
Speaker 1: why don't just pick the ticket up off the county earlier, yes, right, right, right, okay.
Speaker 1: And there's another commercial. I just saw it. It's another
Speaker 1: one they brought back. It's it was an old one.
Speaker 1: There's a guy on a on an island, right, I
Speaker 1: guess he stranded on an island. And he spells out
Speaker 1: help in all caps with twigs with like with branches. Okay,
Speaker 1: h G LP Now it's capital letters, right. So the
Speaker 1: L has the lip the leg on the bottom. Okay,
Speaker 1: a helicopter is you hear a helicopter in the distance,
Speaker 1: and the homeless, homeless guy, this stranded guy right with
Speaker 1: scraggly clothes. He looks like you know, Tom hankson Castaway
Speaker 1: goes oh, like he gets excited. He's running to the helicopter.
Speaker 1: He then sees his dog pick up the leg of
Speaker 1: the P and run off with it. So now it
Speaker 1: says h E l oh hello, oh commercial, yes okay,
Speaker 1: and he's like no, no, no, he's screaming right right,
Speaker 1: and they cut to the people and the things saying,
Speaker 1: oh if they're waiting hello to us, right right, the
Speaker 1: guy's life is on the line, right, Why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: just take the leg off the L and use it
Speaker 1: for the P? You know, what he didn't because he
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a commercial. He was going for the bounty.
Speaker 1: That's what he was doing, right again, just stupid. The
Speaker 1: guy deserves to be stuck on the island. He should
Speaker 1: have laid down his own body and formed the p
Speaker 1: like there's so many things you could have done. The
Speaker 1: dog took the one letter that it's clever they made
Speaker 1: help hello, sort of get it. I just I have
Speaker 1: no tolerant for the bad commercials. That's all, okay, five
Speaker 1: talents for good commercials like these. Yeah. I gotta say
Speaker 1: that our our listeners are the best, the slices. They
Speaker 1: really are tuned into everything that we do. I A
Speaker 1: day doesn't go by where I don't open up the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys Twitter account and take a look at, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, at what what goes on? Um in in it?
Speaker 1: So we this week, for instance, as I'm pulling it up, installing, um,
Speaker 1: what are you pulling up? I'm pulling up our the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys Twitter account? Oh right, right right, yeah, because
Speaker 1: we had some fun things that we're thrown in there. Um,
Speaker 1: oh my god, somebody is okay, I don't need to
Speaker 1: see this. Somebody tweeted at us and it's it's literally
Speaker 1: a picture of a guy jerking off, and it's a
Speaker 1: real picture. That's a video, that's a video. Was he
Speaker 1: in a dorm room bathroom? Yeah? First of all, shout
Speaker 1: out to Shady jew Mobster, who big big mad fan
Speaker 1: and then took a picture with Mr Met and while
Speaker 1: he was wearing his old school original logoed first printing
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys T shirt. So thank you Shady Jum Mopster,
Speaker 1: We love you for that. Um. Then we had someone
Speaker 1: who said that we were discussing about taking your shoes
Speaker 1: off on the plane. Thank you to Randy Michelle Sabo
Speaker 1: um big Mets fan. You have just yes, she is
Speaker 1: or he is, you've discussed taking your shoes off on
Speaker 1: a plane before. How do you feel about it? At
Speaker 1: city field and a baseball game. There's a video or
Speaker 1: a picture that she took of someone who just took
Speaker 1: their sneakers off in front of her foot. They're going
Speaker 1: barefoot at the fucking game. If you're barefoot at a
Speaker 1: baseball game, chances are you've got a funk John's batter
Speaker 1: on house guaranteed. Gut Um. Someone made a meme which
Speaker 1: was great, Lord Lord of Enjoyment, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: The bad customer service. There's a guy and then and
Speaker 1: then the due to COVID excuse. So there's guy's playing
Speaker 1: cards at a card table and there's one guy that's
Speaker 1: about he's in motion of slapping a card down. That
Speaker 1: means like he's gonna win the hand. So the table
Speaker 1: says bead with the cards on, it's a bad customer service.
Speaker 1: And then in his hand is the single card that
Speaker 1: says due to COVID nineteen. And it's almost like boom,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw this card down. I'm gonna play the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen due to COVID nineteen card. As we've discussed
Speaker 1: so often on this podcast with people getting away with
Speaker 1: shoddy service and they're still here, we are, close to
Speaker 1: two years later using the due to COVID nineteen excuse.
Speaker 1: It's on the staff, the bed, the bed card. I know,
Speaker 1: but so many times we've pointed out that we're do
Speaker 1: using it as an excuse. Just me last week and
Speaker 1: so shout out to you you also um this one.
Speaker 1: We think Brodie and I both feel the same way.
Speaker 1: We think it's a joke. Um again, coming into at
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Boys on Twitter, Heather Gonzalez and don't forget
Speaker 1: to take scary. He's still guy, he's still doing it.
Speaker 1: It's it's at David Brody at the Brooken Boys. That's
Speaker 1: Scary Jones. Then I don't forget scary. He's on the show.
Speaker 1: So this is a big This is a big oops,
Speaker 1: says Heather Gonzalez. And this isn't a picture that she wrote,
Speaker 1: because we know that this has gotta be a photoshop thing.
Speaker 1: It says across it is the lettering across this building,
Speaker 1: and it says College of Architecture and Planning. All right, right,
Speaker 1: but the C in college was there was no room
Speaker 1: for it because on the building it says knowledge of
Speaker 1: Architecture and Planning. And they made they put the sea
Speaker 1: on the sidewall as if to say it's it's irony,
Speaker 1: it's real, It's cannot be real. There's no way, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you can't be real, right, and what does you have?
Speaker 1: Had the last letter that didn't fit, not the first.
Speaker 1: So they put the sea on the walls to make
Speaker 1: knowledge of the architecture and planning, and obviously they didn't plan, right,
Speaker 1: ha ha ha. There in lies the joke. But I
Speaker 1: found that funny, very funny, but not clever, but but
Speaker 1: definitely not real, not real. And then we had people
Speaker 1: talking about Target and the places to park. Half the
Speaker 1: parking is shipping containers and curbside there's no one, no
Speaker 1: one is doing curbside. Here you are with a bunch
Speaker 1: of empty fucking parking spaces. And then where's everybody else left?
Speaker 1: The park back by the dump? Sta that problem last
Speaker 1: night of shop? Right? This the four rows of parking,
Speaker 1: the first five six spots in every row with miscellaneous
Speaker 1: things other than handicapped, other than a handicapped spots. But
Speaker 1: mom with baby pick up order ahead, Uh, we don't
Speaker 1: like you like this again. It's just you can't park anymore.
Speaker 1: You cannot park anymore. By the way, Snoop petty pog
Speaker 1: does not like me using words like sus and lit
Speaker 1: on this part. It's quite apparent he sent the meme
Speaker 1: in there. He did the He put the meme of
Speaker 1: the Pete Davidson character from SNL and Pete Davidson or
Speaker 1: just oh no, this isn't Pete Davidson. You're so saucy
Speaker 1: you don't even know who it is. It looks like
Speaker 1: John Cryer. Okay, how do you do, fellow kids? Whatever?
Speaker 1: That was sketch. Uh. And then finally on a Grammar
Speaker 1: Police which I won't even play the jingle please leave
Speaker 1: card inserted until prompted to remove found on an a
Speaker 1: t M. I guess, oh, terrible, that's not good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a couple here from Nelson Abrams at Nelson
Speaker 1: Underscore a B R A M s at Abrams watching
Speaker 1: a quiet place too, and I see this place and
Speaker 1: it's John Krasinski walking by a place called Brody's Pizzeria.
Speaker 1: To what she says, I know, because it's Brodie's pete seria,
Speaker 1: it would be great pizza, to which I said, uh,
Speaker 1: well it would be if it was me, David Brody,
Speaker 1: but I don't trust the Brodie name when it comes
Speaker 1: to pizza places. Then Scary Time did not see my
Speaker 1: reply yet, said well, if you go by Brodie's, theory,
Speaker 1: it would be spizza because Brodie's is not an Italian name,
Speaker 1: therefore it would probably not be good pizza. So I
Speaker 1: think we agree on um. Mike South made Mike. I
Speaker 1: read Mike's tweet last week where he said, you guys
Speaker 1: are great on Walkers and Talkers. I figured out, Hey,
Speaker 1: why not I become a fan of the Brooklyn Boys,
Speaker 1: and so it begins, I'm listening to your podcast now. Now,
Speaker 1: if you remember I said, if he's listening to the
Speaker 1: podcast now, he's just starting our podcast. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: like two years away from hearing this mentioning his name
Speaker 1: got a tweet today. I'm enjoying it already. I'm flying
Speaker 1: through them as fast as I can. I'm up to
Speaker 1: episode sixty, but my iPad likes to download the recent
Speaker 1: episode automatically until I changed the setting. So I heard
Speaker 1: episode one five where you mentioned me first time ever. Um,
Speaker 1: I wish there were more hours in a day, big fan.
Speaker 1: So set Mike south Made is running through our episodes,
Speaker 1: and I thought he would be years away from here
Speaker 1: in his mention, but he listened out of a water
Speaker 1: by accident and he heard it. So but he's enjoying it.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Appreciate you. Um, highway Explore sent this.
Speaker 1: This is disturbing. This is a picture again, So Highway
Speaker 1: Explore kind of say some highway Explorer. I I very
Speaker 1: much enjoy Highway Explore on Twitter, but you don't need
Speaker 1: to copy us to every single customer service fight you have.
Speaker 1: Oh this one is good though, but I know, but
Speaker 1: picked the good ones. Well sometimes he's like, my eggs
Speaker 1: were called. Well, this one it looks like a I
Speaker 1: guess it is a truck stop, Pilot Flying ja. Oh,
Speaker 1: Pilot Flying Jay is a is a It's like a
Speaker 1: convenience store, like a quick mart for truckers, all like
Speaker 1: on the big highways of the big roads. Well, I
Speaker 1: passed a few tres. I'm gonna say something right here,
Speaker 1: Pilot Flying Jay. This is scary Jones talking. How little
Speaker 1: do you think of your fucking of your customers? I
Speaker 1: mean no, yeah, really, this is absolutely disgusting that this
Speaker 1: passes for food. Highway explorer tweeted us a picture of
Speaker 1: what he or she found at the truck stop that
Speaker 1: they were at. Right, do you really expect truckers to
Speaker 1: eat this? It is a picture of I guess, a
Speaker 1: cast iron skillet of burnt fucking chicken and and shapizza
Speaker 1: and pans of shapizza that looked like they were made
Speaker 1: three days ago. That is gross. That is disgusting. Pilot
Speaker 1: at point. No, this is me now talking, and this
Speaker 1: is me paraphrasing and getting it out. Um, how do
Speaker 1: you claim to have the French? I'll read the quote,
Speaker 1: how do you came to have fresh awesome food? More
Speaker 1: like awesome, This is awesomely food, more like awesomely burnt disgusting,
Speaker 1: And I agree with you, I don't understand. I mean,
Speaker 1: now you're talking about putting people's health in risk here.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's disgusting. That is absolutely atrocious. Do
Speaker 1: better remember the Joe They to drive through because they
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be like ten miles away before you
Speaker 1: realize it. This vood is for truckers. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: a hundred miles away, but they're not gonna come back.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I've been Flying J. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: order the food there. But that's the Flying j is
Speaker 1: like sheets, some of them have like showers and places
Speaker 1: you can nap episode they are like really like hardcore
Speaker 1: for truckers. Uh. And it's a great place to buy
Speaker 1: like like DVDs if you want to watch a DVD
Speaker 1: in your truck. You know, like they have everything. But
Speaker 1: maybe I wouldn't go there for the chicken. Maybe not.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe not unless they want to be
Speaker 1: a sponsor. And I'll focus on this stuff I said
Speaker 1: before that. Yeah, um, and I have one more from
Speaker 1: the Kickler Kickler friend Justine. I'm sorry, no Ce, Mick Yo, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris,
Speaker 1: Chris right love Chris Um. His friend gave up, Troy
Speaker 1: gave us the he's got a track dress, the Mutiny medals, right,
Speaker 1: his buddy did gave us the silver yep. Anyway, Ah,
Speaker 1: he corrects us or me, he's talking about a simp
Speaker 1: because I used the words simp at one time. A
Speaker 1: simp might have been a simpleton, but a simp is
Speaker 1: definitely a thirsty man who falls for thirst traps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there you go. So that so a simp in today?
Speaker 1: I I really, I mean, I guess I've heard kids
Speaker 1: say it. I guess a simp as somebody who's going
Speaker 1: after the thirst trap. I suppose a fine, alright, not down.
Speaker 1: I'm not down with the lexicon. Yeah, I know you're not. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's all I got for you on Twitter to
Speaker 1: I used to I read the Twitter today because we've
Speaker 1: been backed up on that and I have been ignoring
Speaker 1: the comments from there, and just yeah, well you don't
Speaker 1: this week? Oh yeah, you know me. I don't give
Speaker 1: a funk, right, I'm the worst. So so we're almost
Speaker 1: we're almost wrapping up here. I did want to tell
Speaker 1: you about um a pandemic related customer service issue where
Speaker 1: I won so and what it was it was It
Speaker 1: was not mean UM A couple of I want to say,
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago. Shure we do that.
Speaker 1: After our final break, we still have to take one more.
Speaker 1: You know, in the industry they call it a tease.
Speaker 1: So so you know, can I can I tell you
Speaker 1: what happened to dollar Tree real quick, and then we'll
Speaker 1: go to commercial because I feel like we gotta give
Speaker 1: something now because I start something so dollar Tree, everything
Speaker 1: there should be like a dollar right pretty much? Okay,
Speaker 1: we know where this is going already. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: not exactly. So you ever go to a supermarket and
Speaker 1: you go to buy like a Target, and they do
Speaker 1: you want cash back? That's the best way to get
Speaker 1: cash Like if you if you if you don't have
Speaker 1: a bank around, you know, I gotta If you don't,
Speaker 1: you go to a different bank than your own bank,
Speaker 1: they charge your fee. But if you take the money
Speaker 1: out of the supermarket or a Target, you want cash back,
Speaker 1: you get to be twenty. They don't charge you that.
Speaker 1: They tucks he you go, here's some twenty bucks. So
Speaker 1: I'm at dollar Tree, and you know, when you use
Speaker 1: the credit card machine, some of them have questions for you, right,
Speaker 1: pets Smart, one of them, pets Smart. I think I
Speaker 1: want to talk about that next week. But Dollar Tree says,
Speaker 1: would you like cash back? And I thought, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't normally need cash back, but I could use
Speaker 1: some cash back. So I said, yeah, I'll take some
Speaker 1: cash back, and they go, there will be a dollar fee.
Speaker 1: Oh so dollar Tree is now dollar dollar fee. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's what it charged me. A dollar so that they're
Speaker 1: not making profit on the straws and the cups and
Speaker 1: the plates, so they want to make a profit off
Speaker 1: of off of the dollar twenty bucks I want. So
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I'm not giving you are charging
Speaker 1: me a dollar. Your customer at dollar Tree, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just bought something, obviously because I'm paying for it because
Speaker 1: obviously I presented my card and you asked me if
Speaker 1: I want cash back? Right, and you expect me to
Speaker 1: pay Actually you've now paid double right. Well, listen, I
Speaker 1: know everything there's a dollar, but now the cash back
Speaker 1: is a dollar too, and scary. All right, So let
Speaker 1: me tell what happened with with AMC. I love AMC,
Speaker 1: loved the movie theaters. I happen to be going to
Speaker 1: an AMC at an appear it's in about a half
Speaker 1: hour from now. I know. That's why we're wrapping up.
Speaker 1: What what movie you're gonna be seeing the night? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a um, it's that that horror it's that horror one.
Speaker 1: It's not really a horror film. It's a it's in
Speaker 1: the genre of that. It's called not the Nighthouse. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm a big fan of AMC, not a sponsor,
Speaker 1: but consistently the best movie theaters in my area, in
Speaker 1: our area, New York, New Jersey. Anyway, So I was
Speaker 1: want to say, I want to say middle of something
Speaker 1: happened I may have talked about on the podcast. I
Speaker 1: don't remember where they sent me six passes to free
Speaker 1: movie passes. Something happened either at a location or what
Speaker 1: my stubs card. There was some reason why they mailed
Speaker 1: me six good for any movie, which means you can
Speaker 1: use it like an IMAX on a twenty dollar movie.
Speaker 1: You can still use it. Right. The only problem is
Speaker 1: most of the time when it's a big movie like
Speaker 1: Star Wars or a Marvel movie you want to order
Speaker 1: through the app, right, So I have these passes and
Speaker 1: they were good until July of twenty let's see hold
Speaker 1: on comes. Oh yeah, they were good until um July
Speaker 1: of I want to get these dates right July. Okay,
Speaker 1: my God, do not tell me. Don't hold on hold on,
Speaker 1: So I get these passes. I'm gonna get so angry
Speaker 1: for you for me. Okay. So I get the passes
Speaker 1: and then COVID hits and all the movie theaters closed
Speaker 1: and the keyword key phrase and all the movie theaters closed,
Speaker 1: so you didn't have an opportunity to use them, right,
Speaker 1: So my passes expired? Um, well, I want to get
Speaker 1: to the first email here. Uh oh okay, So I
Speaker 1: I tweeked them and I say, hey, um, I just
Speaker 1: want to let you know I have these passes that fired.
Speaker 1: They're right, they expired in um in in June of
Speaker 1: of this year. So they say to me, oh, all um,
Speaker 1: glad to hear you're happy to have to I saw
Speaker 1: you were back up, happy if theater is open again.
Speaker 1: But my past expired. They said, oh, your passes have
Speaker 1: been extended through the end of July. I hope that
Speaker 1: helps so they extended him from from the end of
Speaker 1: May two months to July. So I said, will every
Speaker 1: movie theater be aware of this? Also, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be able to use six passes between now and July.
Speaker 1: Can you please reissue me new ones that are at
Speaker 1: least good until December, at least on the amount of
Speaker 1: time that your theaters were closed, which is like six months,
Speaker 1: well a year, almost a year a year. So I said,
Speaker 1: the ones I have are only good until December twenty,
Speaker 1: That's what it was, right, So they I said, will
Speaker 1: all theaters be aware of this? So they wrote back, yes,
Speaker 1: all this is on on d M S. All theaters
Speaker 1: will honor these passes through July. Unfortunately, we will not
Speaker 1: be able to exchange these passes since our theaters did
Speaker 1: not temporarily close until late late March of so you
Speaker 1: had January, February and a half of March to use
Speaker 1: your passes. Also, we would not be able to extend
Speaker 1: the passes you currently have, as those have already been
Speaker 1: extended by an additional six months, so I said, They wrote,
Speaker 1: I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you Amber. So I
Speaker 1: wrote back, thank you for getting back to me. Yes,
Speaker 1: I had two months last year to use six passes,
Speaker 1: meaning the beginning of twenty right, But that's not enough time.
Speaker 1: Now I've got a month to use five that I
Speaker 1: have left. I'm being punished now because you guys were
Speaker 1: closed because of the pandemic. Extending them an additional six
Speaker 1: months is not helpful when you've been closed for a
Speaker 1: year in the New York, New Jersey area. I would
Speaker 1: like to make this right, and as a one time exceptions,
Speaker 1: I love the one exception. We will replace your passes
Speaker 1: that expire or have expired. Please provide your mailing address.
Speaker 1: We will send you six passes. Mike Drop. My six
Speaker 1: passes arrived and they are good until December one. So
Speaker 1: again I tell you slices. You thought you were about
Speaker 1: to take it in the balloon, knot. That's right. Don't
Speaker 1: let companies shoot on you when it's when you're justified.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't extend my passes six months when
Speaker 1: those six months you're closed, closed, right, and then when
Speaker 1: the movie theater opens, extended two more months. So I've
Speaker 1: got two months to use passes you gave me originally
Speaker 1: that were good for a year from the date issued,
Speaker 1: and and the dates of Fuzzy when I got him,
Speaker 1: So don't like, don't do. The next week, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the disaster that was the disaster that was
Speaker 1: my stay at a place that I love to stay at.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give the name out, but the
Speaker 1: breakfast and the brunch and everything was fucked up beyond recognition.
Speaker 1: But I was eventually made whole, and Brody would be
Speaker 1: so proud of me, and they may be whole. And
Speaker 1: when I say whole, I mean blue knot, blue knot.
Speaker 1: You know, do you know where I first heard the
Speaker 1: term balloon knot? Where Brody it was growing up? And
Speaker 1: you're off again, boys, boys,
