Speaker 1: back to call her back podcast again. Oh you see,
Speaker 1: if put her on, you want to go, I gotta
Speaker 1: go put her one. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she wants to be on the podcast. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: yeah you're on You're on the Brook and Boys podcast
Speaker 1: episode damn it, I thought, So, what's good? How are you?
Speaker 1: How are you handling Bobby flake this and your stuffing?
Speaker 1: I'm okay? He said he loved me, so I'm all right.
Speaker 1: That's all that she cares about. Yes, that was the
Speaker 1: most important part. And he used my name. That was
Speaker 1: great to hear. Yes, yeah, and he said I know
Speaker 1: her for seventy four years because no, no, no, he said,
Speaker 1: I've been dating you for seventy yeah. Yeah, yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1: Taking shots at me on the air for not proposing
Speaker 1: to Robin. Yeah, another reason we list love him well
Speaker 1: in all fairness, and I love I love Bobby, but
Speaker 1: he's had a few unsuccessful marriages, I believe well. He
Speaker 1: then he poked fun of himself. He said he made
Speaker 1: made something a joke to the effect about you know
Speaker 1: three times a charm or you know whatever or right right?
Speaker 1: So he getting turried to because you know, you know
Speaker 1: you got the right idea, buddy, no aliment to pay. No,
Speaker 1: he said, no, wonder you not moving forward? You can't
Speaker 1: make stuffing well, let's let's talk about that for a
Speaker 1: quick second. Where do you think the stuffing went wrong?
Speaker 1: We came in fifth place if in case out of three,
Speaker 1: if you didn't know out of five, you're an asshole.
Speaker 1: So Bobby play came up. We did our our annual
Speaker 1: uh stuff off of the Morning Show where we all
Speaker 1: made our own stuffings, and um, I decided to ask
Speaker 1: Robin to see if she would find a nice recipe
Speaker 1: and do the submission for me because I've been so
Speaker 1: busy and I haven't been around by so so busy.
Speaker 1: So Robin volunteered. Thank you for doing that, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we all got our our stuffing judged by
Speaker 1: Bobby and Elvis came in first and I came in last.
Speaker 1: That's all that you really need to know. Then I
Speaker 1: revealed that it wasn't me, it was Robin who made it.
Speaker 1: So so what was what was the recipe and where
Speaker 1: do you think it went wrong? So it had Sariso
Speaker 1: sausage in it and collaborat Chile's, which I thought would
Speaker 1: be a winner, because we know those were the flavors
Speaker 1: that Bobby like Southwestern heat. Yeah, yeah, so there was
Speaker 1: definitely to um, but I agree with him. It did
Speaker 1: look minced. The recipe set to finally dice up the vegetable,
Speaker 1: So I think when you do that, kind of lose
Speaker 1: the big flavor hits um. And then the other thing
Speaker 1: was what was the issue? Um, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was putting bretty. It was a lot of bread
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of rs. She used the
Speaker 1: King's Lion rolls for a little sweetness, Yes, because that
Speaker 1: seems to win another year. So I copied, well, i'll
Speaker 1: see this. Waking it up the next day by throwing
Speaker 1: water on it and throwing it in a microwave might
Speaker 1: have made it turn to mush because he called it
Speaker 1: mush because oh this is mushy, but food for the
Speaker 1: exact Yeah. So, I don't know. Maybe it was my fault.
Speaker 1: There was no way to reheat it properly. But what listen,
Speaker 1: you tried your best. We I'm just happy that he
Speaker 1: said that all of them were winners. You know, he
Speaker 1: did say that, he says, this is competition this year.
Speaker 1: So and we came in number two the last year
Speaker 1: we using his recipes, So I think I should have
Speaker 1: stuff with his recipes. Oh you did the old using
Speaker 1: Bobby Flay's recipe routine. This time she took it out
Speaker 1: of bone appetite. So yeah, So speaking of Thanksgiving, what um, Robin,
Speaker 1: you will not be cooking on Thanksgiving? I guess well,
Speaker 1: I'm no, she's not gonna Robin's gonna be with her parents.
Speaker 1: Uh and and her father. I think that he sees
Speaker 1: ghosts because he cooks for twelve people when there's three
Speaker 1: people in games. Yes, there's only three of us going
Speaker 1: him Mia mom, and he's making a turkey and a ham.
Speaker 1: A turkey and a ham. Yeah. Boy, my mother doesn't
Speaker 1: eat turkey. Yeah, her mom doesn't. Her mom doesn't eat birds.
Speaker 1: She collects, She collects them. Yeah, Robin's mother will take
Speaker 1: a wounded pigeon off the street and nurse it back
Speaker 1: to health. Yes, I opened up her freezer one some
Speaker 1: one fell out. It was dead. Well, probably not the
Speaker 1: best place to put it. Then, all right, Robin, we're
Speaker 1: gonna let you go for now. Okay, on that note,
Speaker 1: We're just gonna let that go, right, We're sell that
Speaker 1: right over Brody's head. All right, take care. What what
Speaker 1: do you mean was frozen? A frozen pigeon? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a real frozen pigeon. It was in her freezer. Yes,
Speaker 1: so what am I missing? Like she thought it was
Speaker 1: like Walt Disney and kirogenics or something where she could
Speaker 1: freeze the pyrogenics. What do you call that thing? Were
Speaker 1: you criogenetics? Cryogenetics? Yeah, but it only happens in Egypt,
Speaker 1: in Cairo. What are you talking about? Cryogenetics? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Her mom rescue to pigeon and it was dead or
Speaker 1: something and she put it in the freezer. Okay, this
Speaker 1: woman maybe needs to speak to somebody profession now that
Speaker 1: I was, I will say this. I will say this though,
Speaker 1: Brody and and and and I and don't make fun
Speaker 1: of me like they did really on The Big Show. No,
Speaker 1: you laugh, you laugh. But um, you know how every
Speaker 1: year I have to get that that free range organic
Speaker 1: Willie bird, that big It's a tradition in my family
Speaker 1: that I spend crazy money and I go to Williams
Speaker 1: Snoma online and I have this fresh turkey delivered to
Speaker 1: the house and it's cleaned and it's pre briant, and
Speaker 1: it's ready to go in the oven and all you
Speaker 1: gotta do is cook it and and it always tastes
Speaker 1: so nice and juicy. Every year, and it's worth every penny. Well,
Speaker 1: this year, I waited too long, and well the moral
Speaker 1: of the story is, don't wait that long. Because the
Speaker 1: only amount of birds, the only birds that were left
Speaker 1: were ten pound turkeys. Ten ten pounds not gonna be
Speaker 1: good for the family. It was ten one pound turkeys.
Speaker 1: Ten pound turkey. No one a ten No, don't don't
Speaker 1: go there or tend to pound turkeys. Two pound turkeys,
Speaker 1: two pound turkeys. That'll be Yeah, that aired on Monday.
Speaker 1: Really are you didn't tell me that guys are playing
Speaker 1: my Thanksgiving phone tap? I'd like to know about it.
Speaker 1: That's exciting. That would happen on Monday anyway. Uh so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so for the most part, because I it was only
Speaker 1: ten pound turkeys left, I went to go look for
Speaker 1: a pasture raised turkey. I googled it and faced by
Speaker 1: a pastor. No google heritage food that come on. Nope,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this. This is the oldest lineage of
Speaker 1: known turkey, and it is coming to my It is
Speaker 1: coming to the house, and we're gonna experiment tomorrow. If
Speaker 1: today's Wednesday, I don't even know what day it is,
Speaker 1: but that this Thanksgiving was recording this for Thanksgiving week. Uh,
Speaker 1: this turkey is going to be a it is it is.
Speaker 1: It is from one of these farmers. It is a
Speaker 1: pasture raise. It lived a very happy life and it
Speaker 1: pretty much is able to you know, eat, you know
Speaker 1: the you know, go from the greenery and walk around.
Speaker 1: This is not a turkey that's been crushed up in
Speaker 1: a coupe, eating its own ship or being fed corn feed.
Speaker 1: This is this turkey that I ordered this year is
Speaker 1: supposed to be from the oldest uh lineage or the
Speaker 1: seeing It's a single origin traced turkey. It's called a
Speaker 1: pastor's important. It's a pastor raised young turkey. Again, pastor
Speaker 1: like a priest rate, a pasture past What does you
Speaker 1: can't speak today? Pasture raised? You know what? A pastor
Speaker 1: not pasteurized like milk. Yeah, pastor raised, pastor raised, paste raised. Yes,
Speaker 1: a pastor. You know what, you're still cutting its head off,
Speaker 1: putting stuffing up its ass and putting cranberry sauce next
Speaker 1: to it. No, but it's it's gonna taste better because
Speaker 1: it was under less stress during its life. Yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going in Turkey? Hey man, I'm chill. Great,
Speaker 1: you look delicious. No, No, don't you realize that if
Speaker 1: sometimes when you eat steak, if the if the cow
Speaker 1: was stressed at any point in their life, if it
Speaker 1: was an accountant to note the meat taste terrible and
Speaker 1: it or taste or it's tough, or I'm telling you
Speaker 1: this is there's a thing. There's a rhyme and reason too.
Speaker 1: If you want to give let you give the cow
Speaker 1: a BackRub before you get you kill it. No, there's
Speaker 1: a humane way of of of killing turkey. So we
Speaker 1: can't we tell ourselves no, it's true, there's no humane
Speaker 1: way to kill a thing and eat it. Yes, there is.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. That's where I'm going with this whole story.
Speaker 1: So what I'm trying. I'm sure the turkey would disagree.
Speaker 1: What there's Apparently there's a a there's a good way
Speaker 1: and a bad way to execute the turkey or the
Speaker 1: chicken or whatever it is. I would imagine running it
Speaker 1: over what your car and dragging it five miles would
Speaker 1: be bad. But if you've got a cow in the
Speaker 1: grazing in the grass and any st rush to high
Speaker 1: hell yeah, and then and then you kill it, Apparently
Speaker 1: the meat is bad or or the same thing with
Speaker 1: chickens and turkeys. Apparently they they have this thing where
Speaker 1: there's a way of doing it which makes the meat tender.
Speaker 1: In other words, you walk up to the cow, you
Speaker 1: say the bull. Rather, you walk up to the ball
Speaker 1: and you go, hey, guess what, you just won the lottery,
Speaker 1: and he goes and then you kill it. How it goes, hey,
Speaker 1: hey bull, Hey bull? You give the ball. How it's
Speaker 1: like a hand job. You give the bull a hand job,
Speaker 1: and then when he's all relaxed, you kill him. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you there's something to eating stressed out beef that's
Speaker 1: not good for you. It's not good and not or
Speaker 1: just not not tasting. By the way, the way what
Speaker 1: I just described is known as beef stroking off. Have
Speaker 1: you never had that? That's how to happened. That's why
Speaker 1: the meats so tender. You're not gonna you're not gonna
Speaker 1: believe me. Listen, google it on your spare time. But
Speaker 1: there's there there is something to be said for the
Speaker 1: what what how these animals were raised and the very
Speaker 1: best you can get is a pasture raised chicken or turkey,
Speaker 1: and if you could find them, but there's only like
Speaker 1: two of of of our Nation's chicken and turkey is
Speaker 1: like is heritage or pasture raised? Trust me on this
Speaker 1: it had it, had it lived a happy life. Just
Speaker 1: know that's my concern. By the way, you said you
Speaker 1: talked about this on the Big Show, on the Morning Show,
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Oh they crushed me. They crushed you
Speaker 1: on the on Mono podcast. Jim Thomas Jim Thomas at
Speaker 1: regular listening to this podcast and a frequent d M
Speaker 1: of ours. Uh. He put up a poll on the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Boys fan page and he said Scary told his
Speaker 1: airport story hearing aid story on the Big Show and
Speaker 1: also on his Instagram. Will he will it be on
Speaker 1: the podcast? No way, Scary would never do that. Or
Speaker 1: two chance that's scaries math, not mine. He reuses material.
Speaker 1: People said you would tell the airport hearing eight story
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and and you did, of course. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people thought you wouldn't. Thank you. Jim Thomas. Bring up
Speaker 1: to Paul on the Brooklyn Boys fan page. You Jim Thomas, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So what are you doing for Thanksgiving? Oh? Not eating
Speaker 1: Robin's stuffing, that's for sure. Well none's offered to you,
Speaker 1: so that wow? Good? Uh, we are going out for dinner.
Speaker 1: We are going out for dinner. Uh. We have reservations
Speaker 1: in two places. We're going to cancel one of them
Speaker 1: on Monday, but one of them is Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Speaker 1: Ruth's Chris. And the reason I say Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
Speaker 1: is that this week my wife and I went to
Speaker 1: a a champagne dinner. Um. It was sponsored by UM
Speaker 1: Love Uh clicko clicko. Yeah, No, it's love you said

Speaker 1: How great. And I didn't pick up at the food.
Speaker 1: It was all food I liked, so it was good.
Speaker 1: There was one thing that I pickles on it. I
Speaker 1: had to order without pickles. Uh. That's that's again part
Speaker 1: of the conversation with my wife still you're finally developing
Speaker 1: a larger appetite. Larger appetites on a palette. My wife said,
Speaker 1: she was very impressed that I ate everything, uh, because
Speaker 1: some of it was some of it was. It was
Speaker 1: a little unique, but I ate it. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The woman who who worked, who presented for the evening, yep,
Speaker 1: gave the history of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, which you and
Speaker 1: I have all heard. We've told the woman Ruth uh
Speaker 1: brought Chris's Steakhouse down. It was Chris A Steakhouses. If
Speaker 1: you google, this was Chris Steakhouse, Chris Steakhouse. There's this
Speaker 1: awesome comedian who does a whole bit about Ruth Chris Steakhouse,
Speaker 1: and now it's the worst. It's gonna be the worst
Speaker 1: name for a restaurant ever because of the Ruth's Christ's right.
Speaker 1: But here's the things. And the woman telling the story
Speaker 1: about the history of Ruth's, Ruth's Chris Yeah, kept saying
Speaker 1: Ruth Chris. No, yes, Oh my god. She would have
Speaker 1: been fired on the spot. So Melissa, my wife, had
Speaker 1: to grab my hand and squeeze it at one point
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't her. That's crazy. Like three quarters through
Speaker 1: her story. One of the time she said Ruth's and
Speaker 1: the other two times two times after that that's said Ruth.
Speaker 1: That's lazy tongue. But that's lazy tongue. But but she
Speaker 1: was able to say love. Click. Oh, well, I would hope.
Speaker 1: So that's her brand. She worked for the company, doesn't
Speaker 1: she Yeah. So it's spelled v E U V E,
Speaker 1: which looks like and C l I C q u
Speaker 1: O T, which looks like click what click what? Click?
Speaker 1: Click what? Click or click qua click click click what?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Let me click this? Hold on? Yeah? Click scary?
Speaker 1: So why are you so grumpy man? Why is a
Speaker 1: bad night? Why you had a bad night? I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why. Well, I'm not mad. I'm just I had
Speaker 1: I had one of those nights. If it's happened to you,
Speaker 1: slices one of these nights. It's one of these things
Speaker 1: where in slow motion you go, no, everyone's ears. Sorry.
Speaker 1: Well I came off Mike for that, so it could
Speaker 1: have been worse. So what happens? I have an older laptop.
Speaker 1: That's probably it's a it's big, it's heavy, it's no
Speaker 1: you know why I like it. I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: I like it, especially now that I'm not working off
Speaker 1: to carry it around. But it has five USB ports
Speaker 1: and HDMI port. Uh. It has has that that that
Speaker 1: port that I haven't seen in a long time, the
Speaker 1: one with the screws on either end. That the RVC port. No,
Speaker 1: I don't have that at r v A port, No
Speaker 1: v g A v A port. I've got a CD
Speaker 1: ROM drive. It's basically a desktop, but it's a laptop anyway.
Speaker 1: I have smaller laptops that I use when I travel,
Speaker 1: but this is my my go to. It's the one
Speaker 1: I used to work. I don't know a desktop. This
Speaker 1: was like a sturdy everything I need because they were
Speaker 1: times I had a rip c d S back in
Speaker 1: the day more course of your of your life, and
Speaker 1: so every time something would break on it, I would
Speaker 1: replace it. Well, it started to a couple of things
Speaker 1: went on it that couldn't be replaced easily. So I
Speaker 1: went on eBay as one does, and for like forty bucks,
Speaker 1: I bought the same computer that was missing a hard
Speaker 1: drive and missing memory and missing a power adapter. So
Speaker 1: I had all that, so I bought it. I put
Speaker 1: the hard drive in with all my stuff on it,
Speaker 1: the memory cards, everything. So I ended up with like
Speaker 1: a brand new basically computer a great condition. Well I
Speaker 1: never used the webcam on it. Oh boy, Well yesterday
Speaker 1: I had, uh, something to do on a webcam and
Speaker 1: nothing dirty, and I webcamed and it was cloudy, foggy
Speaker 1: and and and like blurry. So I downloaded new drivers,
Speaker 1: I cleaned the screen. You know, the lens cover nothing work.
Speaker 1: So I said, you know what I got, I have
Speaker 1: a great webcam in my old unit. It's the same computer.
Speaker 1: I'll just take the webcam out. It's easy enough to do.
Speaker 1: I watched the video and they said, you know, make
Speaker 1: sure you take the battery out of the computer, you know,
Speaker 1: power it off. I did, uh, And so I took
Speaker 1: the the bezel that goes around the screen. I opened
Speaker 1: it up because the webcams behind that on my old one.
Speaker 1: No problem. Took two screws, take the webcam out. It's
Speaker 1: it's about five inches wide. It's a electronic thing. Right,
Speaker 1: took that out, went to my new version of the laptop,
Speaker 1: and I powered it off. I took the battery out,
Speaker 1: I opened the bezel, put the webcam in, easy peasy,
Speaker 1: put everything back together. Turn the computer on my hard
Speaker 1: drives dead. No, my hard drive is no longer recognized
Speaker 1: by the computer. It won't boot up. I tried it
Speaker 1: in both computers. I tried it in an external hard drive.
Speaker 1: So okay, enough, no tech talk, but just ba the
Speaker 1: overall thing. Okay, here's what I may have done. What happened. Okay,
Speaker 1: when you work on your computer, you take the battery
Speaker 1: out when it's off, but you're supposed to hold down
Speaker 1: the power button for ten seconds to release any static
Speaker 1: electricity or any remaining power in the unit that it
Speaker 1: had in it. So, uh, you can get rid of that.
Speaker 1: I forgot to do that. I mean I did it,
Speaker 1: but I guess not longer to think that you shorted
Speaker 1: out by touching a screwdriver to the metal frame. I
Speaker 1: think I sent you because you were trying to install
Speaker 1: a webcam. Yeah, okay, here's a stupid question. Why don't
Speaker 1: you have the professionals do it? Okay, because it's it
Speaker 1: was an easy thing to do in the hindsight. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have a guy in the in the neighborhood who
Speaker 1: does all the minor stuff. He's great. I texted him
Speaker 1: and he said, oh, I'm working late tonight. I won't
Speaker 1: be available till maybe Saturda. A. Well, I have a
Speaker 1: video podcast I had scheduled for today that I needed
Speaker 1: the webcam for, so I was like, oh, I'll just
Speaker 1: change it out myself. He's not available, So I did it.
Speaker 1: So now my hard drive is that the only guy
Speaker 1: in New Jersey yourself? No me, Yeah, I've done everything else,
Speaker 1: No problem anyway. So now the best guy in New
Speaker 1: Jersey who has a machine that will read it even
Speaker 1: if it's dead, is now in possession of my hard
Speaker 1: drive and he's reading it, attempting to read it to
Speaker 1: recover my my my files. Even if he's able to
Speaker 1: recover some of them, or all of them or one
Speaker 1: of them, I still have to reinstall Windows on a
Speaker 1: new hard drive and then reset up the entire computer
Speaker 1: to my specifications, download all the software, and then try
Speaker 1: to remember what files I lost. So it's a nightmare.
Speaker 1: It is. So you know when you tell yourself, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna back up my computer, it are getting your
Speaker 1: hard drive smack crashes and dies, and you go, oh,
Speaker 1: if I could just save it, whatever I do, I swear,
Speaker 1: I promised God, I'll back it up the next time,
Speaker 1: And then you don't. This is maybe the fifth hard
Speaker 1: drive I've had crash on me where I've had to
Speaker 1: pay to get it done. Now, you couldn't pay me
Speaker 1: to open up any of these fucking computers because the
Speaker 1: one slide of hand and you're fucked. The whole thing
Speaker 1: could just erace on it. The PCs are a little
Speaker 1: easier to work on, but I messed up. I didn't
Speaker 1: hold the button down long enough and I may have
Speaker 1: shorted it out. That being said, it's gonna cost me
Speaker 1: a few hundred dollars. Maybe, Um, it's not. It's not
Speaker 1: the big expensive ones. That's question five thousand, three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: This is a laptop. My favorite part is is you
Speaker 1: asked a question yesterday. Can you remember recommend a laptop
Speaker 1: disc drive down of recovery place in Jerseys? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: respond gave me a prick answer. Yeah, the Max Shop
Speaker 1: in Wilmington, Delaware. Ha ha if you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means other than I thought
Speaker 1: you were just slamming me if I wonting a PC. No,
Speaker 1: that that's the that's the store that recovered Hunter Biliden's laptop.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a Max Store, dude, it was It was
Speaker 1: the Max Shop. Oh I thought you. Oh, I hear
Speaker 1: that the best in the business, Brodie. Maybe they're good
Speaker 1: at data recovery. Yeah, I'll take it to them, the professionals. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I don't mean to laugh, because your whole life
Speaker 1: could be like erased right now. The last year and
Speaker 1: a half. Yeah, I have everything before that, but so
Speaker 1: last year and a half, I mean we're talking like, okay,
Speaker 1: So so you know the last year and a half
Speaker 1: is what stands to be lost forever. Well, that's what's
Speaker 1: on that drive that isn't on the previous drive. Man,
Speaker 1: I upgraded my drive a year and a half ago
Speaker 1: during the pandemic from a five gig to a thousand
Speaker 1: to a terabyte. When I upgraded from Windows seven to
Speaker 1: Windows tank. I'm just saying it happens. People do whatever
Speaker 1: you can to back up your computer. I'll say this,
Speaker 1: Um I I should have heeded the warning of of um.
Speaker 1: I guess I had a drive here that was starting
Speaker 1: to tick and make noise. It was like like it
Speaker 1: was weird. Um before yeah, before and as it was
Speaker 1: starting to click and stuff like that, I was trying
Speaker 1: to look for solutions. I tried to offload it. It It
Speaker 1: was too late. And this was an old drive. This
Speaker 1: was the drive that has all the phone taps on it,
Speaker 1: old school phone taps. Everything that was raw, unedited, unbeeped,
Speaker 1: like my whole life at at the radio station, and
Speaker 1: and all the production work that we've worked on all
Speaker 1: these years, it was on that drive. Now they've stripped it.
Speaker 1: They've tried to they've tried to take the drive and
Speaker 1: take it out of its shell and put it and
Speaker 1: started from you know whatever. I know they do these
Speaker 1: fancy things. So and they were like, no, it can't
Speaker 1: be done. You need to take this to a professional
Speaker 1: data recovery specialist room, pay like three thousand dollars or
Speaker 1: some bullshit. So the drive is just sitting here in
Speaker 1: a case, in its own little case. We got for
Speaker 1: it in my drawer. And I don't know how I
Speaker 1: can even go about recovering this stuff. But if we
Speaker 1: ever needed for archives or all, I can tell you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: first of all, did you try did you try our
Speaker 1: technician rog at work? Uh? No, I didn't ask him

Speaker 1: so um, Marilyn Jenkins emailed me and she said, you
Speaker 1: don't have to respond, which is weird because I always respond.
Speaker 1: I realized you get so many d m s. I
Speaker 1: thought this would give you a laugh. I'm taking my daughter,
Speaker 1: I'm talking to my daughter, and I'm using quotes. I
Speaker 1: can't remember if the period goes in my quote or
Speaker 1: after because I'm enjoying my wine. I pause and try
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Then I say, fuck you, Brodie,
Speaker 1: you have made a new grammar policeman or person, whichever
Speaker 1: you prefer. So, Marilyn, welcome aboard. And the period goes
Speaker 1: outside the quotes because you're not quoting the period. Uh
Speaker 1: Nelson Abrams tweeted at us, and he said he heard
Speaker 1: a new one on the NFL show Hard Knocks. Uh.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, by the way, DeAndre Hopkins is the player
Speaker 1: that all that that fan held up to sign when
Speaker 1: he came back from injury that said welcome back Hoppins
Speaker 1: with no kay. DeAndre Hopkins said something about a p
Speaker 1: s A announcement. Oh that is that is the A
Speaker 1: T M machine of p s A S. As you know,
Speaker 1: p s A stands for public service announcement, So that
Speaker 1: is a new one I had not heard before. Thank
Speaker 1: you Nelson, I found one here. He This came into
Speaker 1: our email from Desiree from Connecticut, Dade's Bombs on the
Speaker 1: Graham saying she pulled this one right off her a
Speaker 1: local Facebook page. This was a cake that was born
Speaker 1: at the local stopping shop. It was a birthday cake,
Speaker 1: so it was supposed to say happy twenty second birthday Alex.
Speaker 1: The cake is a picture of it. It says happy
Speaker 1: twenty s E C O N D Birthday Alex. Happy
Speaker 1: the guys only having a birthday for twenty seconds, and
Speaker 1: that's happy twenty second birthday, Alex. Thank you, love you Dad.
Speaker 1: Bombs and yeah, what else you got there? Bertie? Um, well,
Speaker 1: I want your opinion on um on this. It's not
Speaker 1: so much grammar police as it is etiquette police. But
Speaker 1: I was in a restaurant with my friends. Let's slowly
Speaker 1: fade out the music because we're dead the music, and uh,
Speaker 1: these were three of the appetizers, so there was a
Speaker 1: pattern set and I was a little confused smoked wings,
Speaker 1: wings marinated in garlic and herbs, smoked low and slow
Speaker 1: smoked wings clearly in the in the recipe that is
Speaker 1: the tempo Hummus trio black bean ed a Mommy and
Speaker 1: chickpe hummus. That makes sense. Then here's something on the
Speaker 1: menu right in the middle of those two. It's in
Speaker 1: big bold letters, right, Italian clams ingredients sweet sausage, peppers,
Speaker 1: onions in a roasted garlic cream sauce served with garlic bread.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, repeat that Italian clams is the name
Speaker 1: of the appetizing ingredients sweet sausage, peppers, onions in a
Speaker 1: roasted garlic cream sir sauce served with garlic bread. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming in addition to the clams, they don't mention the clams. Well,
Speaker 1: that's assumed. That's okay. Smoked wings, wings marinated in the
Speaker 1: garlic and herb. See pattern developing here, all right, So
Speaker 1: everything on the menu, everything leads with the item that's
Speaker 1: the title, right, So I said to the waitress. I
Speaker 1: said to the waitress, just want to make sure because
Speaker 1: this sounds delicious the Italian, I thought, maybe it's like
Speaker 1: it's an Italian dish to like give me the Italian
Speaker 1: clams and it's something else. So I said, are there
Speaker 1: clams in there? And she says, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'll go find out. So the manager came over and said, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: there's clams in there. How about that? So we ended
Speaker 1: up ordering the column fried columari and shrimp. So it's
Speaker 1: fried shrimp, fried columari in a plate. The plate comes,
Speaker 1: let me know what you would do? Scary? The plate
Speaker 1: comes and it's a full plate of calamari. So maybe
Speaker 1: like thirty five and three shrimp? What but what is
Speaker 1: the name of the dish? Fried calamari and shrimp. Okay,
Speaker 1: then then you definitely because the lead means you get
Speaker 1: more that No, so so colamar there's definitely gotta be
Speaker 1: more calamari than shrimp. That's like saying mac and cheese.
Speaker 1: There's more mac than cheese, Like well, well, sauceagem peppers,
Speaker 1: you expect more sausage jim peppers. But if you get
Speaker 1: to to fish fried things, it shouldn't be thirty five
Speaker 1: to three. Well, that's where I'm gonna split the difference
Speaker 1: with you. I don't think the ratio should be it
Speaker 1: should be that disproportionate. I mean three shrimp. No, you
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They were figuring like calamari is
Speaker 1: much cheaper than shrimp. Fuck these people, right, it's all fried.
Speaker 1: You won't notice it. So I say to the waitress, hey, um, hey,
Speaker 1: it's thirty five to three here. Just oh I'm so sorry. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just let me go get you more. What comes back
Speaker 1: to four? Right? She yeah, I wasn't in Chicago. So
Speaker 1: she comes back with a little plate like a butter plate,
Speaker 1: with three more shrimp, and she puts them on the table.
Speaker 1: I said so, so my friend Jeff says, uh, hey,
Speaker 1: can we get at here or close to it? This
Speaker 1: is just silly, so scary. I'm asking you how many
Speaker 1: shrimp until you were satisfied with the ratio of colamardo shrimp? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is an appetizer portion? Or is his a meal?
Speaker 1: Is this like a I'm gonna send you a picture
Speaker 1: of it, all right, right, I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say this Dad, David Brodie, and and don't hate
Speaker 1: me for saying it. Sp Are they jumbo shrimp? No?
Speaker 1: Like if you make it? Okay, signed there the size
Speaker 1: of your Okay, Okay, okay, um, I have to say this,
Speaker 1: and I've and traditionally every time I want a shrimp.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I am a shrimp connoisseur and
Speaker 1: I am I'm a big shrimp orderer. So I've seen
Speaker 1: it in whoa, whoa? Does that mean you only want
Speaker 1: a big shrimp all the sizes? But you said you're
Speaker 1: a big shrimp well not the Chinese? What is it?
Speaker 1: People calling my phone right now? Okay, I just texted
Speaker 1: you know you did, but I'm getting phone calls to
Speaker 1: at the same time. Very possible. Okay, let me let
Speaker 1: me say this, letting you say it's shrimp okay on
Speaker 1: those okay size shrimp. Yep. I've seen it in many formats.
Speaker 1: I've seen it served many ways. I've seen it in
Speaker 1: many dishes. I've never I've I've had shrimp in salads before.
Speaker 1: I've never ever, ever, ever seen more than six pieces
Speaker 1: of shrimp in the dish. Now I have you've had
Speaker 1: bang bang shrimp? Right, no, hold on, hold on, I've
Speaker 1: had mainly when they do grilled shrimp or shrimp in
Speaker 1: a dish, it's five or six tops. I never seen
Speaker 1: more than that, so you would have been happy with
Speaker 1: a calamarian shrimp as thirty five and six. If I see, yeah,
Speaker 1: because to me, the shrimp is the delicacy. There it's
Speaker 1: a shamps six shrimp, mini shrimp shamp Oh, then fucking dude,
Speaker 1: half and half, that's what I'm saying. I'm talking about. No,
Speaker 1: if there's a big, big gass like bigger you know,
Speaker 1: tiger shrimp, the big ones like a fist. If you're
Speaker 1: talking about rock shrimp, crip, like rock shrimp, like the
Speaker 1: small those tiniest shrimps, shrimp, the tiniest shrimp yep um,
Speaker 1: then yeah, it should be more like half half. But
Speaker 1: if it's but but if you're talking about actually big
Speaker 1: pieces get like the number whatever they call him, like
Speaker 1: the four to a pound shrimp, the no, then you know,
Speaker 1: look at the picture I sent you. They're measured in
Speaker 1: what point? Look at the picture I sent you. See
Speaker 1: if you see a shrimp in there, can't I can't
Speaker 1: find it. I'll put up on Instagram at something. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Man, I don't know. You don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. Yeah, in a dish like this,
Speaker 1: yeah there should be more shrimp, yeah, defact. Point And
Speaker 1: if you're talking about those size. Yeah, yes, what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. That's what I'm saying. Don't get ripped off. Hey,
Speaker 1: don't get ripped off. We gotta an email or two
Speaker 1: that I wanted to um crazy so um in the
Speaker 1: vein of not going to Gerard's Pizza and places of
Speaker 1: that light of that ilk, you know, because it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like it matches, you know, like you know, Peppi's Pizza, Yes,
Speaker 1: Gerard's Pizza. No, because who a guy named Girard is
Speaker 1: gonna make great pizza? What about Girardo Girardo? Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll see. I don't know, but that
Speaker 1: would change your name if you're Gerard, I'd be like
Speaker 1: putting on the sign this person wants to be anonymous.
Speaker 1: I saw a Mexican restaurant that looked like it said
Speaker 1: mar does Cantina. I didn't want to get a case
Speaker 1: of dia from Martha's Cantina. But when I got closer,
Speaker 1: I saw it was Marita's Cantina. Marta. Marta would have
Speaker 1: worked or Martha. So we eat there, and we ate
Speaker 1: there and it was good, better, I believe than Martha's.
Speaker 1: Could have been a cool story. So once again, the
Speaker 1: slices are out there and they're avoiding things that don't
Speaker 1: sound appetizing because the person's name who owns the place
Speaker 1: doesn't fit with the cuisine that's it's in. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like going to Ferdinando's Chinese food Chinese restaurant. Huh
Speaker 1: you know. So anyway, there was all right, so there
Speaker 1: you go. Well, speaking of Mexican restaurants, do I have
Speaker 1: time for a quick Mexican restaurant story? Ah? You do.
Speaker 1: We are also we have to keep tabs on the
Speaker 1: ticker here, so how quickly can you do this one? Oh?
Speaker 1: This one's like, uh, this is a five minute story. Okay,
Speaker 1: go for it. Alright. So I'm I'm going to a
Speaker 1: mall that has a Mexican restaurant and it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: almost an hour from my house. I'm meeting I'm meeting, uh,
Speaker 1: meeting someone at this Mexican restaurant. So, uh, I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly where in the mall it's located. It's a
Speaker 1: big mall, and I call, so I figured I'll call
Speaker 1: and find out what the best entrances to go into
Speaker 1: the mall to get to the restaurant or like what sho,
Speaker 1: where should I park? Right? Should I parked by the Macy's?
Speaker 1: Should I? Where should I park? That's a makes sense, right? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 1: So the girl asks the phone, and I say, hey, Um,
Speaker 1: I just want to know what's the best entrance to
Speaker 1: park if I'm coming to your restaurant today. She says,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Just what do you mean? I said,
Speaker 1: I want to come there and I want to park
Speaker 1: near your closest entrance to the store. Um, So which
Speaker 1: one would be good? She says, Oh, wait, Um, I'm
Speaker 1: not really good at directions. Maybe try the main entrance
Speaker 1: to the mall. So I said, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means exactly. I don't know what the ware the
Speaker 1: main entrance is. Is that close to your to your restaurant? Um?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure? So I said, okay, is there? Um?
Speaker 1: Is there a store outside that I should look for?
Speaker 1: She says, I'm not sure. I'm not good at giving directions.
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, let me let me see if
Speaker 1: I make this easier for you. When you drive to work.
Speaker 1: Where do you park? She says, I usually come in
Speaker 1: and make a left. Okay, So I said, you make
Speaker 1: a left once you enter the mall, or you make
Speaker 1: a left once you enter one of the many entrances
Speaker 1: to the mall area. Um. I'm not sure what that means. Um, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. So could you maybe ask? So? I said,
Speaker 1: could you maybe add someone else if you don't know
Speaker 1: where you park? Oh? Um? Yeah okay, So hold on.
Speaker 1: She comes back and she says, UM, maybe park like
Speaker 1: I don't know, like near the cheesecake factory. Like, so,
Speaker 1: I said, like park like near the cheesecake factory, or
Speaker 1: like park by the cheesecake factory. What do you mean, Um,
Speaker 1: you can park near the cheesecake factory. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say that, I said, is that where you park? No?
Speaker 1: I come in and make a love so scary what
Speaker 1: I get there? Not only is the Mexican restaurant near
Speaker 1: cheesecake factory, but they have an outside seating area, an
Speaker 1: outside entrance directly next to the tables of cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1: I stopped screaming into your microphone. Please, how do you
Speaker 1: not know you are located next to cheese scake factory?
Speaker 1: If you ever walk outside to your outdoor tables, idiots
Speaker 1: your next to the people have blinders on and they
Speaker 1: follow a route to work, and they only know left right, right, left,
Speaker 1: straight left right left, and that's it. And they don't
Speaker 1: look at their surroundings. They don't have markers on the
Speaker 1: road or or signs or like, Oh, she comes to work,
Speaker 1: she must park by the cheesecake factory. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to make excuses for her. Brodie, Yes, you
Speaker 1: have just to all you too. She got a room,
Speaker 1: she's oh, she has blinders on. She's a horse. What
Speaker 1: do I what I'm gonna say, I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: she's so I meet my I meet my lunch mate
Speaker 1: outside and we walked to I tell the story real quick,
Speaker 1: and she's laughing, and I said, I guess it was
Speaker 1: the hostess because she answered the phone and she'd go
Speaker 1: ask people and whatever. So when we get there, we
Speaker 1: walk up to the door. It's a glass door, and
Speaker 1: as a young girl with a spray bottle and a
Speaker 1: rag or whatever, and she's piping down the inside of
Speaker 1: the door. Well the door. The door opens out right,
Speaker 1: So I'm standing there and she's wiping the glass. We
Speaker 1: are on the other side of the door. Scary. We
Speaker 1: are looking at each other, and I said, I said,
Speaker 1: I say to the person I'm with, I think that's her,
Speaker 1: and so she looks and she says, did you want
Speaker 1: to come in? Blake? No, I want to stand here
Speaker 1: and stare at you from the other side of the
Speaker 1: glass because I'm a leering pervert. So so I so
Speaker 1: I turned. I turned to the person I'm with and
Speaker 1: I said, yep, that's hard. You want to do? You
Speaker 1: want to come in? I got some scam bonies for you.
Speaker 1: You do well. I got one via the email. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have one. You go, you go yours O Scamboni
Speaker 1: another person who wanted to anonymous. Hey Brodie, scary, scary Brodie. Um,
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to scary, and I just and I
Speaker 1: decided to buy the iPhone fourteen. Yes because side note
Speaker 1: I said, I admit it wasn't worth it. It was
Speaker 1: not a great upgrade from the twelve to the fourteen.
Speaker 1: For me, I should have just kept it because it's
Speaker 1: so there's not a whole lot to I had to
Speaker 1: X that's the ten for years and it was time
Speaker 1: for a new one. So I'm happy because the battery
Speaker 1: charge is so fast and last so long. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: that's a positive. Anyway, I got it from a Verizon store.
Speaker 1: They don't tell you that they added thirty dollar charge
Speaker 1: for re dux water protection r e d u X
Speaker 1: water Protection. By the time I saw it, they said
Speaker 1: there's a thirty dollar cancelation fee to remove it. What
Speaker 1: the fuck? I found online? This is a common complaint.
Speaker 1: I usually look out for extra charges, but was caught
Speaker 1: off on this one. Please warn the slices about this.
Speaker 1: So apparently there's a thirty dollar charge for water protection,
Speaker 1: but in order to remove it, there's a thirty dollar
Speaker 1: cancelation face. So it it's kind of I guess, I
Speaker 1: guess you can't get your money back. I guess you screwed.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he didn't needs more further investigation,
Speaker 1: but we were asked to put that out there. But
Speaker 1: the slices, that sounds like a typical Apple scam. Heyyy,
Speaker 1: don't just this. Don't pull the baby out with the
Speaker 1: bath of water here? Did you have a scamboni? I do?
Speaker 1: I do so. Uh, you know, we have three dogs here,
Speaker 1: and one of them had to be groomed, other two
Speaker 1: were groomed, and uh, my third dog got wet and
Speaker 1: and and and so we dried him. But you know,
Speaker 1: it looked like he needs to be groomed. He was doue.
Speaker 1: So our usual groomers were not available, and so some
Speaker 1: people recommended another groomer in the area. Okay, like, I
Speaker 1: will try that groomer. So my dog, Uh, you know
Speaker 1: what madden hair is. It's when it clumps together. Yes, right,
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, there's no hair, It's just like a big, massive,
Speaker 1: like a cotton ball like your pubes. Tell your girlfriend
Speaker 1: just to use dental floss that comes right out. Okay,
Speaker 1: so wow, what are we sixteen? I seriously used that
Speaker 1: joke when I was in I know that's why I
Speaker 1: used it. It's such a stupid Okay, So I call
Speaker 1: up and I said how much to get the dog
Speaker 1: groom and I I don't know. Let's I think it
Speaker 1: was eighty five dollars something like that. May have been
Speaker 1: eighty whatever it was, I said, all right, So before
Speaker 1: I went, I cut a lot of the madden hair
Speaker 1: off my dog, you know, like I caught it. I
Speaker 1: sliced it. Uh, the ones that were really bad right
Speaker 1: there was it was it was and you couldn't really
Speaker 1: notice it because he had so his hair was so long.
Speaker 1: I cut out all the matted hair. Mhm. I dropped
Speaker 1: the dog off the girls at the at the counter
Speaker 1: and say, okay, great, well should take about three hours.
Speaker 1: We'll call you. Okay, great, great, okay, good, I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a back backup groomer. Hopefully this goes well.
Speaker 1: She's oh yeah, okay, good good. So I get a
Speaker 1: phone call. They said, uh yeah, Mr Brodie, we have
Speaker 1: your dog. I said, yeah, I hope so. Well he's
Speaker 1: really madded. I said, well, you know, he's a little
Speaker 1: bit mad and I had I cut most of it off,
Speaker 1: but he's a little bit madded as well. We can
Speaker 1: just shave him down, or we can brush him out.
Speaker 1: Oh god, And I said, well that's a lot because yeah,
Speaker 1: if we have to brush him out, it's a lot
Speaker 1: more money for the option. So I so I said, uh, well,
Speaker 1: how much you have to shave him? Well, not really short,
Speaker 1: just we have to shave him a little bit so
Speaker 1: it looked like he got shaved a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But we have to get the matting out, or we
Speaker 1: can brush him and brush all the mats out. But
Speaker 1: that's gonna take another hour, and that that could be
Speaker 1: anywhere from ten to fifty dollars depending on, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: how much brushing we have to do. So I said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm already paying eighty seven dollars. I said,
Speaker 1: I'd rather just shave him down because this way he'll
Speaker 1: be starting even again and it'll be fine a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and he'll grow back. Because plus when you
Speaker 1: brush them it hurts sometimes, like you're pulling on that
Speaker 1: go you know what. Not only about the money. I
Speaker 1: don't want him uncomfortable. Just shave it down. It's fine, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: Well I will see in an hour. So I get there. Uh,
Speaker 1: they call me and they say you can come now.
Speaker 1: I said great, it's about hour and twenty minutes later.
Speaker 1: I show up. She says it's a hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: five dollars. What now, I have the dog. That's that's
Speaker 1: a cheaper option, right, So I have the dog. The
Speaker 1: dog is shaved. I see him. I'm so I don't
Speaker 1: have him. I see him in the wind. Don't like
Speaker 1: they have a glass window. You should it went behind
Speaker 1: the counter, grabbed the dog and be like we're good,
Speaker 1: and walked out. Yeah we're good. Right, No, the dog
Speaker 1: is behind the glass in the grooming room. So it's
Speaker 1: like all windows you can see the grooming room, and
Speaker 1: they have a ramp. The dogs can run up the ramps.
Speaker 1: You can see them. So my dog runs up the
Speaker 1: ramp and I see him. I see he shaved. So
Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't understand. How is it one five? Well,
Speaker 1: he was very mad at I said, no, I got that.
Speaker 1: But you said either you brush him out or you
Speaker 1: shave him. Well, clearly you shaved him. She said, well,
Speaker 1: it was it's groomer's discretion. So I said, really, do
Speaker 1: they get to make They get to make the decision
Speaker 1: on whether they can reach into your wallet and take
Speaker 1: money from you or not? Right, So I said, who
Speaker 1: gets the extra money of the groomer for doing the
Speaker 1: work best interest? Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So I said, oh, hell no, I said, if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get the dog brushed, and you charged me fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: First of all, the dog wasn't that madded, he was
Speaker 1: semi madded. Second of all, I was only gonna get
Speaker 1: him brushed to avoid shaving him, but you shaved him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to speak to the groomer, please, very nicely.
Speaker 1: I wasn't you know. I was like, can I speak
Speaker 1: to the groomer? Yeah, she'll come out. She comes out,
Speaker 1: she says, she doesn't look on her face like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm so sorry. But I said, what's going on? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, but your dog was really badly madded
Speaker 1: you know I understand that. That's why I said, don't
Speaker 1: brush him, shave him. Yeah. Um, we had to, maddam.
Speaker 1: We had to shave him because I tried to brush
Speaker 1: him out a little bit, and even when I shaved him,
Speaker 1: the matting went too far down towards this, so I
Speaker 1: had to shave him. Also, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I said, either you saw the matting was down to
Speaker 1: his body or not. It's visual. Before you started brushing him,
Speaker 1: you should have seen the matting goes all the way down?
Speaker 1: Did I have to shave him? So she goes, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. That's that's our discretion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I said, I said, you gotta come up with you.
Speaker 1: This is unacceptable. So the girl mind the kind of
Speaker 1: goes She goes, let let me talk to her. So
Speaker 1: they go on the back. She comes out and says,
Speaker 1: all right, how about down from fifty? I know you, Brodie,
Speaker 1: you were like, fuck you? How about zero? So no
Speaker 1: no so I so, I said, I still don't understand
Speaker 1: why I'm paying twenty five dollars when I told you
Speaker 1: took to shave the dog na it's grumer's discretion. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So she says, well, we did shave him, but he
Speaker 1: still had matting even after we shaved him in order
Speaker 1: to get him. If we if we kept shaving him,
Speaker 1: he would have had bald spots. Isn't that your decision?
Speaker 1: And not? There's this is why I failed to I
Speaker 1: don't want bald spots. But you could have given me
Speaker 1: a phone call check it out with me first before you.
Speaker 1: I said, so your range was ten dollars to fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: I said, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you fifteen for the matting and I might come back
Speaker 1: here again. Or I can give you thirty and you'll
Speaker 1: never see me again. That's your that's it, that's customer discretion. Ah,
Speaker 1: there you go, and they take the fifteen. She took
Speaker 1: the fifteen, of course, because they want to see you again,
Speaker 1: they want repeat business. That was very wise of you.
Speaker 1: This is like, this is like the when I injured
Speaker 1: my back and I went to the the back specialist,
Speaker 1: and then you were trying to ask your own date.
Speaker 1: Yeah back then, No, No, that was when I yawned
Speaker 1: wrong or something that's right back and put my back out. No. No,
Speaker 1: it was when I was no, when we were doing
Speaker 1: jump around at at the at the at the Christmas party.
Speaker 1: So you literally were in a house when I jumped up,
Speaker 1: jump yes, jump up, jump up, and I fell down,
Speaker 1: and you know about this, and I and my elder
Speaker 1: how do I never know the story back in the day.
Speaker 1: This was like several years ago. It was that Carla
Speaker 1: Marie was working for our show and her brother's Christmas party,
Speaker 1: and I was wearing these hard old Kenneth Cole shoes
Speaker 1: on the dance floor and I was jumping around, jump up,
Speaker 1: jump up and get down. And when I when I
Speaker 1: jumped up, jump up, and I fell down hard on
Speaker 1: the soles of the feet. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: this tingling went right up my back. And then my
Speaker 1: L four and L five discs were a little like
Speaker 1: weird and wonky. I couldn't walk and move for weeks.
Speaker 1: When you were and you were in L seven. Yeah, that,
Speaker 1: thank you. And then I went to the I went
Speaker 1: to the back specialist and the funker tells me, oh yeah, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: you need back surgery. And I'm like, really like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you need you you you really should get back surgery,
Speaker 1: and I'll be the person to do it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait this one out, and sure enough, I
Speaker 1: waited it out and I was able to walk again
Speaker 1: and everything got corrected. So yeah, so it was back
Speaker 1: back surgeon's discretion to just drive, uh, to rip my
Speaker 1: back apart so he could cash in on, you know,
Speaker 1: a five thousand dollar job on my back. Funk that
Speaker 1: that's a similar story there. You know, would your dog grew?
Speaker 1: I mean on a much larger scale, but still a
Speaker 1: much larger It's like or the dentist that wants to
Speaker 1: knock two of my teeth out gratuitously, Hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: you should really voluntarily get those wisdom teeth pulled out. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was that dentist discretion. Dent just discretion, no fuck off,
Speaker 1: that fuckuckuck. Now you imagine if you go in for
Speaker 1: a cleaning and he's like, yeah, I decided to point
Speaker 1: your wisdom. That's this discretion. We knocked you out and
Speaker 1: while we were there, that's just discretion. We need to
Speaker 1: remove these four Hey, Mr Jones, I did your oil
Speaker 1: change for you. I checked the area ties, I filled
Speaker 1: up the WinCE you wash you fluid, and uh, mechanic discretion.
Speaker 1: I put in a new transmission for you exactly. Um hey,

Speaker 1: five thou feet. We'll be arriving in Miami tomorrow. Police discretion.
Speaker 1: We're landing in Vegas in five minutes because because we
Speaker 1: want to go gamble. Yeah, yeah, discretion. Yeah, fuck these discretions. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta check it out. Let me first, hey, listen
Speaker 1: before we go to this last break commercial, and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna play your talkbacks on the other side of
Speaker 1: this soundclips And yeah, I guess I don't have those,
Speaker 1: so to wait, No, I don't see him anyway, we
Speaker 1: have those, Yeah, they're in I threaten the son of
Speaker 1: a bitch. Uh No, we got this really really weird email.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just read it and we'll take a break
Speaker 1: because I don't know if we're gonna digest this. Jacob
Speaker 1: Moore said, how I got honey badgered into sex. Damn Well.
Speaker 1: This was from the episode Uh October tent fish, Um,
Speaker 1: what's up? Guys had once had a girl pretend to
Speaker 1: be into hunting just to get sex. We go, we
Speaker 1: got in the deer, We got in the deer hut,
Speaker 1: and she only knew is that what hunt? And she
Speaker 1: only knew how to handle one kind of gun and
Speaker 1: it wasn't the type to bring home food. All was good, though,
Speaker 1: because I tore that ship up by the way, long
Speaker 1: haul truck driver here, listen to you, guys all the
Speaker 1: time to pass the miles started zero and listen to order.
Speaker 1: Fuck you Jacob Nice All right, Oh, that was in
Speaker 1: reference to what we were talking about the girl on
Speaker 1: TikTok who said, I'm gonna I'm about to uh tell
Speaker 1: me more, teach me more about baseball myself into some
Speaker 1: dick exactly. Yes, yes, so that did you have to
Speaker 1: steal that for them for the morning show. Now, we
Speaker 1: never used that because remember, people don't want to hear
Speaker 1: things twice, you know, if you hear it here in
Speaker 1: the podcast. But we're a small percentage, okay, a small
Speaker 1: percentage the big it's smarter to go, it's smarter to
Speaker 1: go podcast, the morning show, then morning show to podcast.
Speaker 1: Get it all right, truckers, listen, give us some fucking
Speaker 1: give us the horn. Trucker's big half of that last email,
Speaker 1: because that was the email of the month right past.
Speaker 1: I think I talked over the commercial again, timing, timing?
Speaker 1: What is what is the first rule of comedy? There
Speaker 1: it is? That's an old joke. I love that joke.
Speaker 1: What's the first rule of comments? All right? I don't
Speaker 1: have any I don't have any audio clips, by the way,
Speaker 1: we played them all on the least. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I got you, but I got
Speaker 1: you the law and say you had them because you're
Speaker 1: afraid of me. I was going to figure it out.
Speaker 1: I don't know eventually, all right, So, um, I guess
Speaker 1: we should play some of these. Um these have been
Speaker 1: lingering for a while. Should you go from you to
Speaker 1: the front to back and back? You have to let
Speaker 1: him linger front to back. How do you wipe front
Speaker 1: to back, front to back, of back back to front,
Speaker 1: back to front, back to the front. That causes all
Speaker 1: kinds of if you're a woman, it does. No, you
Speaker 1: can't do back to front if you're a woman, you
Speaker 1: got the nooks and crannies. Hey, Brooklyn Boys, I'm a
Speaker 1: teacher for the New York City Department of Education, and
Speaker 1: on this past episode you were talking about how capitalization
Speaker 1: like doesn't matter and Twitter handles and whatnot, um and
Speaker 1: it just reminded me. I just recently got into an
Speaker 1: argument with my administration because they were trying to tell
Speaker 1: students and parents at our school that capitalization mattered in
Speaker 1: the email user name like password yes, use her name? No? Man, Wow,
Speaker 1: when will they learn? These are educators? By the way,
Speaker 1: kudos to her for being a quality teacher that knows something.
Speaker 1: Tell me also for setting up what we were talking
Speaker 1: about inside the topic there at the very beginning. She
Speaker 1: knew how to form an essay, but actually start by
Speaker 1: leading with something as she she didn't just say, oh
Speaker 1: what you guys talked about the truck. It was hilarious,
Speaker 1: you know what truck what? She actually set it up
Speaker 1: so we didn't have to set it up for her. So,
Speaker 1: based on based on the people she works for, their
Speaker 1: theory is that David Brody at aol dot com is
Speaker 1: a different email address than capital D David capital B
Speaker 1: Brody at Aol dot com. Right, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 1: If capitalization matters, then there are two different email addresses.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so, oh my god. You know what
Speaker 1: else doesn't matter. It just does slash and doesn't slash
Speaker 1: backslash websites, it's always forward slash. I hate this. There's
Speaker 1: a commercial running on the radio right now that actually
Speaker 1: tells people, uh, like, let's just say jingle ball dot
Speaker 1: com backslash Nike Mike. No, it's never backslash ever. Ever,
Speaker 1: it's always forward slash. But because because it's always forward slash,
Speaker 1: it's understood, just say the word slash, Just say jingle
Speaker 1: ball dot com slash Nike. People know which one it
Speaker 1: is visually to press on their keyboard. But just that
Speaker 1: is the forward slash button. No, because some people think
Speaker 1: that's backslash. No, it's on that running to the right.
Speaker 1: There's website that ever says blah blah blah dot com
Speaker 1: backslash whatever. It's never ever, ever, ever backslash ever. It's
Speaker 1: always forward slash or just slash, the one that leans forward,
Speaker 1: although some people think that's the backwards one that people up.
Speaker 1: I hate that. I tried five times to get the
Speaker 1: commercial corrected and like always came from the commercial agency
Speaker 1: and it was voiced out of here and it has
Speaker 1: to run. I'm like, oh, you're killing me with this,
Speaker 1: all right, scary, don't you dare send a gift to
Speaker 1: that couple. You can absolutely rs VP that you will
Speaker 1: not be in attendance and thank you for the in fight.
Speaker 1: Do not send a gift. Huge balls on that couple.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of such a thing. They should be
Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves. Really have slice for life, bottle Brook,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Alright, like the little signature at the end there,
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty years, I haven't we haven't spoken to
Speaker 1: this person, and Brodie knows that, and I think it's
Speaker 1: I still think it's a cash grab. It's not fifteen.
Speaker 1: It's more like it's OK, it's just said. It's still
Speaker 1: you know, a long time, haven't spoken to them, and
Speaker 1: they invited me to their wedding out of nowhere. I'm
Speaker 1: still saying it's a cash grab. They went to their
Speaker 1: entire contact list, knowing most people would say no, but
Speaker 1: some percentage of that would still send a gift. I
Speaker 1: think I think, well, they know you're a generous, scary,
Speaker 1: scary and Brodie James from Miami. I've been here frequently.
Speaker 1: How about in reference to episode two thirty four, you're
Speaker 1: talking about the costume and so you're trying to sell.
Speaker 1: How about it if they're willing to pay you extra
Speaker 1: for you to drop it off, will you drop it
Speaker 1: off or you still want them to come to you
Speaker 1: and pick it up. Well, I'm not going to Miami
Speaker 1: to drop it off, you know. If somebody wants me
Speaker 1: to drop it off in like if they buy something
Speaker 1: from me on Facebook, Uh, and they're like, oh, can
Speaker 1: you drop it off? I have a broken leg, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's that's a twenty right there, That's a twenty spot. Sure,
Speaker 1: but I'm not driving a Staten island and pay thing
Speaker 1: about what Scary was just saying with always seeing the
Speaker 1: is that that exact thing happens to me all the time.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I always see nine eleven,
Speaker 1: which was very significant for me because of I deployed
Speaker 1: after the attacks. But even to this day, years and
Speaker 1: years later, I always see nine eleven, and it trips
Speaker 1: me out because I somehow notice it all the time.
Speaker 1: We're talking about looking at clocks and seeing the same
Speaker 1: time every day, I'm like, and by the way, I
Speaker 1: always see I still do. I'm gonna say, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: one last comment by me. The average person looks at
Speaker 1: a clock maybe like twelve times a day. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you're gonna remember the three days a week you landed on.
Speaker 1: That's it's coincidence, coincidence. I think there's something more to it,
Speaker 1: all right, keep okay, Yeah's got a lot more of
Speaker 1: the scary Joe's congratulations on your Halloween costume. Sounds like
Speaker 1: you got what you call yourself several ego snacks that night.
Speaker 1: In fact, so many snacks it it equates a David
Speaker 1: Brody steak dinner that you still owe him. Yes, you
Speaker 1: you still owe him a steak dinner. All right, Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know the correlation, but it sounds great to one.
Speaker 1: That's a non sequitor. What does one have to do
Speaker 1: with the other. I think you had so many ego
Speaker 1: snacks that I deserve a snack of steak. I get
Speaker 1: it now. If it ends up in me having a
Speaker 1: steak dinner, I totally make sense. Herrium Brody, what's going on?
Speaker 1: So you guys talking about the way living on the
Speaker 1: dockys about four years ago, I was going on a
Speaker 1: bunch of a bunch of not a monkey zip line.
Speaker 1: Now wait about to fifty? Wait limit to fifty? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I go on this thing. I don't think
Speaker 1: I should any guy aside, and he went before me
Speaker 1: and made it alive, So I went on. I'm down
Speaker 1: into all. Didn't kill the donkey? All right? Yes, I
Speaker 1: have a question. Did he lose twenty pounds by going
Speaker 1: on the zip line? Like? Did he pull it down
Speaker 1: so far? He had a run half the way. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, first of all, congratulations are losing weight. That's
Speaker 1: great guy. But here's my question. If the weight limits
Speaker 1: to fifty and you wait to fifty and the guy
Speaker 1: before you weighs more than you, and it's visibly more
Speaker 1: than you, like three hundred, I'm not getting on that
Speaker 1: thing because you know he weakened it. Right. It's like
Speaker 1: when you like squeeze a jar to open it if
Speaker 1: you can't open and the next guy comes over and
Speaker 1: opens it, like I'm loosened it for you. What if
Speaker 1: that guy loosened like the rivets so that when you go,
Speaker 1: it's like you're the straw that broke the camel's back.
Speaker 1: But by the way, don't get on a camel if
Speaker 1: you wear that much, Brody. I'm walking down the green
Speaker 1: Way along the French Growled River in Bundle County, North Carolina, Asheville,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. As I listen, Tocome County was one damn
Speaker 1: Republican in what Okay? So I was giving election updates
Speaker 1: last week because it was election day Tuesday when we
Speaker 1: recorded and b A N c O M b oh.
Speaker 1: He you pronounced it wrong. I pronounced it wrong. And
Speaker 1: he's upset that not enough Republicans got in. But the
Speaker 1: Republican one for senator, so you did win some seats there.
Speaker 1: Senator was the big prize. I mean, so you can't
Speaker 1: be that unhappy, sir Brodie scary, longtime Slice for Life
Speaker 1: man from Day one, Big show kind of guy. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm out here, uh California, raised, living in Georgia, raising
Speaker 1: kids in Georgia's gotta tell you, scary. It's not about
Speaker 1: the part of the world you're in. It's about whether
Speaker 1: if you're in the city or not. I'm a city
Speaker 1: I from l a man. I'm fast paced man busses
Speaker 1: and erkin and jerking and cut off. I don't know
Speaker 1: why he took too long. Yeah, well he's very First
Speaker 1: of all, that's a very West Coast sound like they're
Speaker 1: very laid back. Yeah, but you know, I like, I like.
Speaker 1: My argument is that people in the city are faster
Speaker 1: paced than the people that live in this Well here's
Speaker 1: here's how you know, if he was really like an
Speaker 1: East Coast city guy, you know, I'm like, hey man,
Speaker 1: from California, he wouldn't say California, like, hey man, I'm
Speaker 1: California listening big time out of here guy, and he's done.
Speaker 1: But when you're from California, right, demeanor is whiskey. Ye,
Speaker 1: you're out of time with the mind of my money
Speaker 1: and my money on my mind or my mind on
Speaker 1: my money and my money. So definitely give us another
Speaker 1: talk talk back, but either go part one and then
Speaker 1: do a part two, or you gotta pick up a
Speaker 1: pacil bit. Alright, someone else was listening right now boys
Speaker 1: podcast from the state of Oregon, and to let you
Speaker 1: know what that you do have West Coast listeners, thank you,
Speaker 1: Yes we are. Somebody's DM me the right a D
Speaker 1: and said they were from Bend, Oregon. And I think
Speaker 1: this is the less one I had that same issue
Speaker 1: going on the dentist looked to me and said, hey,
Speaker 1: you can get him out if you want. If not, whatever,
Speaker 1: if they don't bother you let them go. But literally
Speaker 1: the day after I walked out of that dentist office
Speaker 1: and said, yeh, I've never felt it. They started hitting me,
Speaker 1: So just wait until it starts hitting you, and then
Speaker 1: you'll be uh, it'll be mad you didn't get it
Speaker 1: done before. So basically, um, he's telling he's telling me.
Speaker 1: He's being sarcastic. Obviously, No, he's given you advice, so
Speaker 1: he you know, he's like, oh, yeah, just wait till
Speaker 1: the last minute, until they start hurting. You know. He
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that, he means just do it now. So
Speaker 1: I should voluntarily get these two teeth extracted because eventually
Speaker 1: they're gonna cause me pain. That's what he said. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm here. I don't. I was looking over my
Speaker 1: eating schedule and convenient time for me to get this done,
Speaker 1: if I if I may be honest, here, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at my calendar, my food calendar, with the holidays coming
Speaker 1: up here, Thanksgiving followed by Christmas. I mean, I can't
Speaker 1: be without my teeth, you know, I can't have a
Speaker 1: couple of days when I'm knocked out. Then I start
Speaker 1: my my program and you know, my detox program in
Speaker 1: January for forty five days. There, Brodie, I'm there's no
Speaker 1: way that I can do it during the forty five
Speaker 1: days because I can only specific foods. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to postpone this ship till well into next year, removing
Speaker 1: my teeth, my wisdom. You might as well do it
Speaker 1: while you're not eating talking about the wisdom teeth. No,
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's a good time to do
Speaker 1: it either. So when's a good time when they start
Speaker 1: hurting you? I guess that was I take that guy's advice. Man,
Speaker 1: we gotta roll out of here now. This has been
Speaker 1: a fine time that I've had with you. Let's do
Speaker 1: what every morning show does. What's that? Let's do the
Speaker 1: it's you know it's cliche, but whatever. Okay, Scary Jones,
Speaker 1: what are you thankful for? Oh? It's funny you say that,
Speaker 1: David Brodie, that's all you did this on the Big
Speaker 1: Show already. No, I, if I'm being completely honest, First,
Speaker 1: I was hung out to dry on on the Fifteen
Speaker 1: Minute Morning Show podcast. They were like, all right, what
Speaker 1: are we gonna talk about. I said, well, this is
Speaker 1: our last podcast before a week's worth of vacation because
Speaker 1: the morning show is gonna be on vacation all next week. Okay,
Speaker 1: And here he brody too, uh, and you're on the
Speaker 1: extension of the extension plan. And so I'm I said,
Speaker 1: all right, just the last podcast. Let's go around the
Speaker 1: room and see what we're thankful for. And I said
Speaker 1: what I was thankful for. And then Elvis looks at
Speaker 1: the camera goes, all right, that's it. We'll see you
Speaker 1: next time. I said that we're all supposed to do this.
Speaker 1: Now I look like a fucking idiot because I left myself.
Speaker 1: I hung myself out to dry, and I left myself
Speaker 1: out there. I thought, we're all gonna do this but
Speaker 1: a shared experience. But of course us I was the
Speaker 1: one left holding the bag and I will I guess
Speaker 1: it's stuck out like a sore thumb. But that wasn't
Speaker 1: right of them. Tell us, tell us if I'm being honest.
Speaker 1: First of all, I am thankful every uh that we
Speaker 1: get to do what we do every week, and not
Speaker 1: only that, have the thousands of people that support and
Speaker 1: tune into this podcast and listen whenever they can it listen,
Speaker 1: it's it could. It takes a lot of time out
Speaker 1: of your day to dedicate to listening to any podcast,
Speaker 1: let alone this one. And there's so many things that
Speaker 1: you can do with your with your time. If we
Speaker 1: call it the share of the ear of your ear,
Speaker 1: meaning you're hearing things, you're seeing things, you're playing video games,
Speaker 1: you're making TikTok's, you're on social media, but also you're
Speaker 1: hanging out. You're watching TV on Netflix, you're what, You're
Speaker 1: hanging out with your family, with your idea. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is it's crazy that thousands of people choose to
Speaker 1: set aside an hour or two a week and and
Speaker 1: hang with us and listen to the podcast. So I'm
Speaker 1: very very grateful, super grateful and thankful for all of
Speaker 1: our slices first and foremost and of course you, David Brody,
Speaker 1: my family, my friends, my girlfriend, everybody, and my health.
Speaker 1: Because I realized that as we get older, you know,
Speaker 1: it happens to people. You see, things are happening around you.
Speaker 1: And I'm lucky that I'm able to keep a roof
Speaker 1: over my head and continue to do what I love
Speaker 1: and as a hobby and get paid for it, and
Speaker 1: I'm you know so, yeah, So I'm thankful for all
Speaker 1: of these things at this time, and of course my health.
Speaker 1: Yeah I may we may look back next year this
Speaker 1: time and may not have my health, but right now
Speaker 1: I do. So I'm living in the moment and touching.
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll hit the song and we'll see you. Guys,
