Speaker 3: Is Tommy talk. I don't know what's different about me,
Speaker 3: Brody Look, I don't know. I'm looking okay, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say things that may be offensive. I don't want

Speaker 3: you want to say. Well, I said, your nose looks swollen.
Speaker 3: You said, that's not it. Thanks, it looks like you
Speaker 3: have more gray hair in the front. Now, well, no,
Speaker 3: because there's no product in it. So there's that your
Speaker 3: hair looks more gray. When you say product, you mean
Speaker 3: hair dye, no, whatever, no, whenever I put on whenever
Speaker 3: in the shoe, polish well, I usually put gel in
Speaker 3: my hair and it kind of.
Speaker 4: It has dark No, it's a darker feel. But yeah,

Speaker 2: Okay, maybe that's not it. Zoom out, zoom out, maybe
Speaker 2: zoom out. Yeah, maybe zoom out your cameras to zoom out.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you're looking too closely, too granular. All I
Speaker 2: see you're trying to check for out of out of
Speaker 2: wack eyebrows and like straight hairs coming out of my nose.
Speaker 2: That's not what it is. And yeah, I haven't shaven
Speaker 2: for a while. These are things they haven't shaved. There's

Speaker 3: We may have We may have absolutely done that. You
Speaker 3: know what I want to do. I'm gonna just get
Speaker 3: this ready here, I want to play I want to
Speaker 3: play audio, but I'll play it after the commercial break.
Speaker 3: As you know, I mentioned previously on this podcast that
Speaker 3: I am I am going to be part of another
Speaker 3: podcast soon.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: We spent three weeks coming up with names, and the
Speaker 3: name I came up with was selected. Very excited about that.
Speaker 3: And I have an opening song that we're going to
Speaker 3: be playing that I created for the podcast. And I
Speaker 3: would like to use this podcast as an opportunity to
Speaker 3: at least tease the podcast. And I'll tell you it's
Speaker 3: not debuting for another couple of weeks, but okay, I'll
Speaker 3: tell you a little bit about it when we come back.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I have I have a major target Scamboni.
Speaker 3: I need your opinion on this. Is it brilliant or
Speaker 3: devilishly evil and terrible?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: I will well, before we do that, why don't we
Speaker 2: just play the song and just rip the bandate off.
Speaker 4: Let's get it going. Yeah, let's do it. First of all,
Speaker 4: what's the name of the podcast.
Speaker 3: The podcast is called Thrown Together Thrown Together, and it
Speaker 3: is hosted by myself, me, David Brody, and two of
Speaker 3: my other hosts, Christian Blatt b L A.
Speaker 6: D T.
Speaker 4: And Eric Nagel from the It's Eric Nigels Show.
Speaker 3: All three of them, all three of us, have been
Speaker 3: executive producers from major radio personalities.
Speaker 4: Thrown Together.
Speaker 3: Was the producer of the massively popular, nationally syndicated Opie
Speaker 3: and Anthony Show in the mid two thousands through the
Speaker 3: almost twenty twenty. I believe they were on Serious exam
Speaker 3: They're on radio stations on the country, and he was
Speaker 3: their executive producer. And Christian was the executive producer for
Speaker 3: The Dennis Miller Show Comedian Dennis Miller from Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3: And of course I was one of the executive producers
Speaker 3: for Elvis Strand and the nationally syndicated morning show So
Speaker 3: the three of us are getting together to do a
Speaker 3: morning show style show live one day a week. It's
Speaker 3: gonna be Wednesday or Thursday, probably around one pm, and
Speaker 3: you'll be able to tune in live and then of
Speaker 3: course if you miss it, it'll be living on YouTube.
Speaker 4: So easy and so people can participate live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll be able to send questions and super chat
Speaker 3: questions and all that stuff and interact with us on
Speaker 3: Thrown Together, which is the name of the podcast, and
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a an hour long. It's going to
Speaker 3: be about an hour hour and a half. Yeah, one
Speaker 3: day a week and see it. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm looking.
Speaker 3: So this is a song I wrote about Thrown Together,
Speaker 3: the three producers hosting a show, and I have to
Speaker 3: remix this so if it's not one hundred percent clear,
Speaker 3: it will be clearer.
Speaker 4: But here it is. It's that time.
Speaker 7: Nor no War of the worlds since So what they're
Speaker 7: doing today?
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go. That's cute.
Speaker 3: Thrown Together by Fate, right, they produced shows that were great.
Speaker 3: It's been a while since they got paid, so this
Speaker 3: is what they're doing.
Speaker 2: You also took a ship on What Morning Radio does
Speaker 2: some features, but.
Speaker 3: I just point out there's no gossip, no horoscopes, no
Speaker 3: prank phone calls, no War of the Roses, okay, because
Speaker 3: that's not what we're doing, and I love prank phone calls.
Speaker 4: I don't like there's no budget because you're using AI
Speaker 4: to write your song. That's right.
Speaker 3: There's no budget, no income. We're just doing a podcast
Speaker 3: because we want to do it. No Roger, no Rent,
Speaker 3: that's right, No Roger Rent. Okay, the greatest lines on
Speaker 3: television history. Right, well, good luck with that thrown together.
Speaker 3: I'll give you more details as we get closer, but
Speaker 3: it wanted to feel with the Brooklyn Boys at all.
Speaker 2: I might have to start playing the jingle for you
Speaker 2: because technically you'd be getting paid off of that, right
Speaker 2: and so that would be a product endorsement of another
Speaker 2: podcast that you're doing.
Speaker 3: We have no sponsors, we're not signed by anyone. We
Speaker 3: are not getting paid all right now. If iHeart and
Speaker 3: and Premiere A Radio want to pick us up, that's
Speaker 3: up to them. But as of right now, it's I'm
Speaker 3: joining the podcast they thought of, and.
Speaker 2: Uh, they're sticking to their original decision of leaving you
Speaker 2: in the dust.
Speaker 4: How are they leaving me in the dust. For now,
Speaker 4: I'm an equal co host.
Speaker 2: No, for now, ex the decision from before, like meaning
Speaker 2: like your current status, your current status.
Speaker 4: Not going forward, I'm not talking about your new project.
Speaker 3: Current status will not getting paid, yes, which is why
Speaker 3: that sactly all right. I hope that changes, but we
Speaker 3: have to do it before someone's going to pay us.
Speaker 4: All right, looking forward to it. What does it start? September?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 3: Uh, we don't have a start day yet, but don't worry,
Speaker 3: you'll hear it announced on this podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh really, I just use this platform to to actually
Speaker 2: vacuum the listeners out of this one and into the
Speaker 2: new project one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: Not this is a second thing.
Speaker 3: Uh, Like, just like you do speaking volumes with share,
Speaker 3: I expect all the Brooklyn Boys to listen to the slices,
Speaker 3: to listen to that podcast as well.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'm looking forward to it. You know
Speaker 2: you won't listen to a minute of it.
Speaker 4: You know me too? Well, Yeah, podcast was most unsupportive
Speaker 4: co host. Come on, now, I support you. I support you, yeah,
Speaker 4: me on.
Speaker 3: The Brooklyn Boys podcast. I support you on on your
Speaker 3: other podcast. I've been on your other podcast. In fact,
Speaker 3: as an executive producer of a morning show. We may
Speaker 3: have to have you on as a guest. I would
Speaker 3: love I would love to be a part of it.
Speaker 3: You know, I would support you in any ways possible.
Speaker 4: So I know you would.
Speaker 3: And because we have so many connections in radio, we
Speaker 3: have a number of big name comedians lined up to
Speaker 3: be on the show that you that you personally didn't
Speaker 3: want on this show.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so okay, you bring those people to that
Speaker 2: there sounds like a match made in heaven. Actually, so
Speaker 2: I told you that was I talking about him on
Speaker 2: this podcast about Who's Tonight? My Dad, about my dad
Speaker 2: going to his fiftieth I didn't talk about it on

Speaker 4: It's scary.
Speaker 3: If I had like a crooked thumb and it said
Speaker 3: I had a crooked.
Speaker 4: I had it.
Speaker 2: Look at your Instagram page, your Wikipedia, things that found
Speaker 2: online about you in the past, that whatever it is,
Speaker 2: things about you so hey, chat GPT you with me?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tony, I'm here. What's up?

Speaker 6: Of course I remember what about it?
Speaker 4: Uh? Could you read it back to me?
Speaker 6: Here's what we came up with for David Brody.
Speaker 4: I'll kill you all right.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you about my dear friend, David Brody.
Speaker 5: This guy could go to a five star restaurant, get
Speaker 5: a steak cooked perfectly, and still find a reason to
Speaker 5: demand a free dessert. Burn steak, forget about it. The
Speaker 5: man will have the entire meal comped, and God forbid
Speaker 5: you go out with him and let him see the bill.
Speaker 5: He'll argue like he's about to lose his house over
Speaker 5: the extra charge for guac.
Speaker 6: He's been out of work for two.
Speaker 5: Years, but trust me, he works harder negotiating a five
Speaker 5: dollars refund than most people do at an actual job.
Speaker 5: Every topic becomes a never ending debate. He's like Wikipedia
Speaker 5: with an attitude problem. The guy argues so much I'm
Speaker 5: convinced he could find fault in a sunrise Larry.
Speaker 6: David Brody makes Larry look laid back.
Speaker 5: Oh and on top of all this, the man writes
Speaker 5: AI songs about me, because Yeah, what I need in
Speaker 5: life is Brody's miserable takes set to music. But for
Speaker 5: some reason I still podcast with him. Here's to you, Brody,
Speaker 5: the cheapest, snarkiest, most argumentative pain in my ass I've
Speaker 5: ever met. You're sixty and still ranting like it's a
Speaker 5: full time job.
Speaker 4: I'm not sixty. I love it. I'm not cheap. I'm
Speaker 4: good with money.
Speaker 6: That's awesome to hear.
Speaker 5: Did you end up using it for a specific event
Speaker 5: or was it just for fun?
Speaker 4: Now you just said it live on the Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 5: Oh nice, So it's officially part of the Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 5: Now that must have been a blast. How did the
Speaker 5: listeners react to it?
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to find out because we want them
Speaker 2: to leave talkbacks for us, So we'll get some feedback.
Speaker 4: And I'll let you know how it went. Okay, Buddy,
Speaker 4: tell him to go fuck himself. But Brody did not
Speaker 4: like it. He said, tell him, Brody says, Brody said,
Speaker 4: go fuck yourself.
Speaker 5: Oh really, that's a bummer. What's he upset about specifically, Well.
Speaker 2: He says, he's not cheap, he's not sixty sixty and.
Speaker 4: Not any of these other.
Speaker 5: Things that it sounds like he might be taking some
Speaker 5: of it a bit personally. How did he feel about
Speaker 5: the rest of the speech.
Speaker 4: He didn't think it was very clever. He's not laughing.
Speaker 4: He didn't laugh once. Yeah, there was. It left a
Speaker 4: lot to be desired.
Speaker 5: That's a tough break. Sometimes humor doesn't land the way
Speaker 5: we hope. Maybe you could talk to him and see
Speaker 5: if there's there's a way to adjust the tone or
Speaker 5: content to better fit his sense of humor.
Speaker 2: Yes, make it funny, Yeah, he says. The best way
Speaker 2: to do that is to make it funny.
Speaker 6: Good point.
Speaker 5: Maybe tweaking it with a more light hearted or positive
Speaker 5: angle could help. Yes, side jokes or personal anecdotes that
Speaker 5: might resonate better with him.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 2: See to Brody, he's a snowflake that you have to
Speaker 2: know that about him. He's very He can't He can
Speaker 2: give a joke, but he can't take a joke.
Speaker 4: See, that's that's.
Speaker 5: Brody, got it, Anthony. It sounds like he's sensitive about
Speaker 5: this stuff. Maybe focusing on more positive or less biting
Speaker 5: humor might help smooth things over with him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, after roll. He is an only child, you know.
Speaker 4: That has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 6: That might explain a lot.
Speaker 5: Sometimes only children can be a bit more sensitive to
Speaker 5: jokes or criticism. Maybe finding a way to balance the
Speaker 5: humor with some genuine appreciation help.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a plan.
Speaker 2: You prove my point, You prove my point, all right,
Speaker 2: all right, listen, I have.
Speaker 4: A nice day.
Speaker 6: Perfect, Thanks Anthony, you have a great day too.
Speaker 2: That is chat GPT from open air. That's a that's
Speaker 2: a free app. By the way, I didn't pay him
Speaker 2: penny for that.
Speaker 3: If you download another chat GPT app, does the second
Speaker 3: chat GPT app become like white Jet chat GPT or
Speaker 3: Indian chat GPT.
Speaker 4: What's the what's the nickname?
Speaker 3: Because that guy was like sarcastic chat GPT And you
Speaker 3: could choose you.
Speaker 4: Could choose a different a different voice. You could use
Speaker 4: a voice for chat gipt.
Speaker 2: You could like it could be a female, it could
Speaker 2: be someone with a British accent.
Speaker 4: That's the voice that I chose.
Speaker 3: I was just saying, like all your friends, if they
Speaker 3: have the same name, you have to nickname one of them,
Speaker 3: maybe like Indian Matt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, indeed, okay, all right, a right, well.
Speaker 3: Listen, I'd love you to take another shot at and
Speaker 3: try making it funny and clever. But all right, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I may have to do the same for you for
Speaker 3: next week, miss, I'll just try another snorky song about
Speaker 3: you that you seem not to like.
Speaker 4: With Scary and Verdie so there was a bit of
Speaker 4: a surprise there. That was a little bit of a surprise.
Speaker 2: You surprised me with your AI songs. I figured I
Speaker 2: could uh return the favor.
Speaker 3: But the songs I write about you're always complimentary. Oh bulls, bullshit,
Speaker 3: focusing on your best aspects.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay in Micile's not a compliment, not bad,
Speaker 2: not on my block.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's a fight on my block, as we say.
Speaker 3: Okay, So here's here's the I need to know if
Speaker 3: this is clever, Scamboni or both. Have you been a
Speaker 3: Target in the last two months? No, So they used
Speaker 3: to have a self checkout area because you go there
Speaker 3: on a Saturday and there's two cashiers. Everybody runs to
Speaker 3: the self checkout because they have six I think in
Speaker 3: my target there's six or eight self checkout registers and
Speaker 3: about a month and a half ago, maybe two months now,
Speaker 3: they made a new rule that self checkout is ten
Speaker 3: items or less. You cannot do self checkout if you
Speaker 3: have more than ten items. So I get online and
Speaker 3: do self checkout, and I see the girl in front
Speaker 3: of me has like thirty thirty five it's gotta shitload.
Speaker 2: Items, okay, And I'm like, what the fuck? Like I
Speaker 2: counted my items.
Speaker 3: I have ten items exactly because I didn't want to
Speaker 3: get stopped by the by the grocery counter lady who
Speaker 3: stands there and looks at your car to make sure
Speaker 3: you can go on the self checkout one.
Speaker 2: I pause before you go further. Do you consider ten items?
Speaker 2: A six packet die cocaus item?
Speaker 4: Ok just scan it once? Okay? Good? Continue.
Speaker 3: So I've got ten items. I've double and triple checked.
Speaker 3: I've have ten items again. The girl in front of me,
Speaker 3: she gotta be between eighteen and twenty four, young girl,
Speaker 3: and she's got it looks like thirty items to me,
Speaker 3: maybe more.
Speaker 2: Well, she clearly didn't respect the rules of ten items
Speaker 2: or less.
Speaker 3: So the woman, the UH self checkout police officer comes
Speaker 3: up to her and says, it looks like you have
Speaker 3: like thirty items in your cart. This is for ten
Speaker 3: items or less. So she says, oh, I'm ringing up
Speaker 3: for three separate transactions. I'm shopping for two other people.
Speaker 3: And the woman says, oh, okay, right this way.
Speaker 2: She's scamboning the system. She pulled to David Brody, you
Speaker 2: would have done the same thing.
Speaker 3: So my question to you you already answered, you're saying
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that. Well, I've had fifty items and
Speaker 3: said she was ringing up for four other people on herself,
Speaker 3: that she's shopping for other people.
Speaker 4: Was she like a instacart person or no, she.
Speaker 3: Just said I'm doing three separate transactions. She never really
Speaker 3: got into what she was doing. But regardless, the point
Speaker 3: is you're not supposed to spend too much time at
Speaker 3: the cash register, right at the machine, at the scanner.
Speaker 3: So she's still taking up three thirty items. You know,
Speaker 3: she's gotta plus scary, she's got to pay three times,
Speaker 3: which means it's even longer than if she just bought
Speaker 3: all thirty by herself.
Speaker 2: No, I just gave it some thought. That is a
Speaker 2: scan bony thank you scan. Do you do you believe
Speaker 2: that or you just wanted to use that word? No,
Speaker 2: I do at first, I thought I got to chuckle
Speaker 2: out of it because I'm like, gosh, she's just being clever.
Speaker 2: But just because she's clever, it doesn't make her right
Speaker 2: in what she did, because yeah, I mean, you're it's
Speaker 2: it's it's each individual person physically standing in the line
Speaker 2: that gets to do ten items or least you're actually.
Speaker 4: Getting a time limit of ten items to scan ten
Speaker 4: ten ten.
Speaker 2: Hop Well, well, at first you have to uncover and
Speaker 2: discover why what is the purpose of a ten items
Speaker 2: are less?
Speaker 4: Lying?
Speaker 2: I think the purpose is the want to people quickly, right,
Speaker 2: But now she's three people. Yeah, because if she rang
Speaker 2: up thirty items, she'd have one receipt, one credit card.
Speaker 2: Now she's got to go do you want cash back?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: In search your card, pay, wait for the receipt, and
Speaker 3: then start the second transaction.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I watched her well because you know me, I
Speaker 2: wanted to know what she was doing.
Speaker 3: She pretty much rang everything up on the first transaction
Speaker 3: and like the last two items she did on the
Speaker 3: second hand non transactions.
Speaker 4: That was ballsy of her. She was lying, of course,
Speaker 4: she was liked.
Speaker 3: I give her credit. My problems with the target lady.
Speaker 3: The target lady she was like, oh okay, Yeah, she
Speaker 3: didn't sound like that.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: She was like, oh okay, I believe you. Well, it
Speaker 2: must have worked for her in the past, that's why
Speaker 2: she gave that.
Speaker 3: Well, it has to work the first time sometime. Well,
Speaker 3: he has the kicker scary. After she goes on the line,
Speaker 3: God's honest truth, she looks at me and says ten items.
Speaker 3: Only you have more than ten items. I said, I
Speaker 3: counted it three times. I have ten items. And she
Speaker 3: actually counted my items. Oh my god, so she's counting them.
Speaker 3: I said, I'm ringing up for two people. She says, no,
Speaker 3: you're just saying that because the other girl did. So
Speaker 3: she counted my items, saying ten items, and I gave
Speaker 3: her a look scary like me.
Speaker 4: I gave her to me face.
Speaker 3: I got checked with ten items, and this girl in
Speaker 3: front of me with thirty something items was like, and man,
Speaker 3: have for three people. Oh okay, right this way, let
Speaker 3: me throw rose petals at your fucking feet.
Speaker 2: Two imaginary friends that shouldn't be Yeah, my friends are
Speaker 2: in the car.
Speaker 4: I'm buying everything for them. We'll let them stand there.
Speaker 4: So go ahead and try that at Target everybody try
Speaker 4: that at Costco. Well you can't. You can't have you
Speaker 4: know what Costco is? What is their stance though? Is
Speaker 4: there a sign up that says in Buffalo Buffalo stands.
Speaker 4: It took me a second.
Speaker 3: Sorry, that's okay. The rule is ten items or less
Speaker 3: at the at ther self checkout aisle.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't say unless you claim your three people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel I know right.
Speaker 3: Now people are saying, maybe she identifies as them. No,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what happens. I'm ringing up for
Speaker 3: three people. So slices, he has your homework assignment scambony?
Speaker 3: Scan bony? Is scary said? Or great idea or a
Speaker 3: great idea that happens to be a scambony? Is she
Speaker 3: cool with it? Would you be cool if you were
Speaker 3: behind her and you had to wait?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know, man, I don't know
Speaker 4: how I know it.
Speaker 3: I would have been, but when the woman checked my
Speaker 3: ten items then I was pissed.
Speaker 4: Something in the milk ain't clean? Is it white milk? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So anyway, anyway, anyway, I always can I can I
Speaker 2: invite the slices while I have everyone? Can I invite

Speaker 4: what's going on, buddy? What do you got going on? Well?
Speaker 3: I I fucked up. Well I didn't fuck up, but
Speaker 3: Hulu fucked up. And now I'm gonna fight with Hulu
Speaker 3: and Verizon Wireless and I can't get any help.
Speaker 4: So here's the deal.
Speaker 3: I called up Hulu to I wanted to change something
Speaker 3: about my account. And when I called Hulu, they said, okay,
Speaker 3: which account did you want to make that change to?
Speaker 3: I said, well, I only have one account. They said, no,
Speaker 3: we have here, you have two accounts. I said, well,
Speaker 3: I definitely don't have two accounts. I said, well, you
Speaker 3: have one that's free you get through Verizon I have
Speaker 3: the Verizon Free bundle with my phone service. I get
Speaker 3: Disney Plus, I get ESPN Plus, and I get Hulu
Speaker 3: with ads. And when we signed up, we agreed to
Speaker 3: pay an extra six dollars and forty cents for Hulu
Speaker 3: with no ads.
Speaker 4: Follow me far so far, I follow you.
Speaker 3: But we used to pay for Hulu before this package
Speaker 3: deal that we got like a year ago. So I said,
Speaker 3: what do you mean to was, well, I have a
Speaker 3: free account and I have an account you're paying for.
Speaker 3: I said, no, wait a minute. I canceled that account
Speaker 3: like nine, ten eleven months ago. Well it wasn't canceled.
Speaker 3: I said, well, can you please cancel it because I'm
Speaker 3: gonna check my charges And I checked my charges on
Speaker 3: my phone and I see that, Yeah, I have a
Speaker 3: in fact being charged for this second account, which I
Speaker 3: didn't recognize. And I don't normally check every little item
Speaker 3: in my bank account, you know direct, you know, autopay stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well that's weird. Okay, so yeah, cancel it,
Speaker 3: but please don't cancel my free one. Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 3: Keep in mind, I don't know what part of the
Speaker 3: world I was talking to. So there was a little
Speaker 3: bit of a language barrier, which is fine, it happens.
Speaker 3: She said, I'm gonna make sure I don't cancel the
Speaker 3: free one. I'm going to cancel the one you're paying for.
Speaker 3: I said, fantastic, I said, but stay on the phone
Speaker 3: with me because I want to make sure I can
Speaker 3: log into Hulu again that you didn't screw my system up.
Speaker 3: Now this is in the afternoon, so nobody's in the home.
Speaker 3: Nobody's home but me, and you know, my kids are
Speaker 3: at school. They watch Hulu up at college.
Speaker 4: Uh. And she says, okay, it's disconnected. I go to
Speaker 4: my Hulu. She says, you have to go.
Speaker 3: Into the account and activate. I activated it, and my
Speaker 3: Hulu's working.
Speaker 4: Fine. This was Monday.
Speaker 3: Okay, keep in mind as we record this, today is Thursday.
Speaker 3: So Tuesday, I come home and I go, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: watch Only Murders in the Building, which comes out on
Speaker 3: Tuesdays on Hulu on Tuesday on Tuesday, season four. And
Speaker 3: I click on Hulu and I click on Only Murders
Speaker 3: in the Building and it makes me watch a minute
Speaker 3: and a half of commercials.
Speaker 4: I go, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: So I go to my account and it says you
Speaker 3: have Hulu with ADS, and it dawned on me that
Speaker 3: the woman canceled my upgrade that I pay for for
Speaker 3: no ADS but mistakenly called it a second Hulu account.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 3: So I call Hulu back and I get we're on
Speaker 3: a fuck it which is a country. I don't know
Speaker 3: where that's located. And I'm told, oh, let me check
Speaker 3: that for you. Oh yep, we have the cancelation right

Speaker 3: get that. I'm on hold now for fifteen minutes. Oh uh,
Speaker 3: we get that through You get that through Verizon. You
Speaker 3: have to call Verizon. They'll be able to set you
Speaker 3: back up. I said, yeah, you guys canceled it by mistake. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but we have no way to give it back to

Speaker 3: they say to me, scary, Oh, we don't control vendors.
Speaker 3: That's Hulu. You got to call Hulu back. Oh you sure, yes,
Speaker 3: in fact, we can transfer you. We get this question
Speaker 3: old customer service, ping pong. So I go back to
Speaker 3: Hulu and I say, listen, this is the problem. You
Speaker 3: guys canceled my my my no ADS package, and uh,
Speaker 3: you told me to speak to Verizon to speak to you.
Speaker 3: Ah no, that's that's a mistake. You need to go

Speaker 3: Verizon provider. So I call Verizon back and they say
Speaker 3: you can't do it through Verizon can't add the ad
Speaker 3: free back because we didn't cancel it. But you could
Speaker 3: easily do it in the Verizon app. Oh okay great.
Speaker 3: So I open the Verizon app, I go to manage
Speaker 3: my account. I follow all the steps and when you
Speaker 3: click manage my package my bundle, it says all managing
Speaker 3: of this account must be done through Hulu dot Com
Speaker 3: slash account, which I already got sent to it.
Speaker 4: So it's basically one big circle jerk.
Speaker 3: I so last night, which was Wednesday, I'm still going
Speaker 3: back and forth.
Speaker 4: Neither company wants to help me.
Speaker 3: I said, I'm going to try chatting with them. So
Speaker 3: I chatted for forty five minutes with Verizon and the
Speaker 3: first thing I said on the chat was, Hi, this
Speaker 3: is my name and number. You have my information, and
Speaker 3: I said, listen, I tell them the story. I have
Speaker 3: Hulu with ADS. I want to get my upgrade back.
Speaker 3: It was canceled. Okay, I see three dots, three dots.
Speaker 3: Seven minutes later, I've confirmed you have Hulu with ads.
Speaker 2: Oh really, so all that time, that's all they can confirm. Oh,
Speaker 2: we've confirmed something you just told me on the phone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry. So she told me.
Speaker 2: Thank you texted that right, so they can actually look
Speaker 2: at your text for reference.
Speaker 3: That's correct, I said, did you scroll up case? I
Speaker 3: already said that. I said, please give me back my
Speaker 3: Hulu with ads. Six minutes go by, according to your account.
Speaker 3: We checked your account thoroughly and your Hulu with ADS
Speaker 3: is working properly.
Speaker 4: Is that correct? Okay?
Speaker 3: Again, I don't want Hulu with ADS. I want my
Speaker 3: Hulu ad freeback. Can you please do that? All right,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to check with our our our concierge
Speaker 3: department or whatever fucking department was okay, great? Eleven minutes
Speaker 3: go by.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: They verified that you have the Disney bundle, oh boy,
Speaker 3: and you have ESPN and Disney without commercials and Hulu
Speaker 3: with commercials and if you'd like Hulu without commercials. You
Speaker 3: can get a separate Hulu account. No, no, no, I
Speaker 3: don't want that for thirteen dollars a month. I want
Speaker 3: my six dollars and forty cents back. You're gonna have
Speaker 3: to talk to Hulu. So I called Hulu again yest
Speaker 3: night at one in the morning, and I said, look,
Speaker 3: you guys fucked up. You guys accidentally deleted my accounts. Yes,
Speaker 3: I know this has happened before. That's how I know
Speaker 3: we can't help you.
Speaker 2: So you've accidentally deleted the free commercials from other people before.
Speaker 3: Yes, and nobody thought to come up with a solution.
Speaker 3: I said, listen, somewhere between you and the guy who
Speaker 3: Eisner is Michael Eisner, who was the CEO of Disney.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying, I said, somewhere between him and you
Speaker 3: is a person that knows how to go in the
Speaker 3: system and give me my Hulu with ads free again.
Speaker 4: Get me that person. There is no person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't work for the CEO of Disney, so
Speaker 3: somebody's it can go in there.
Speaker 4: Someone can do it.
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, just give me a free
Speaker 3: Hulu ad, free Hulu account and I'll just log into
Speaker 3: that it's fine, Oh, we can't do that.
Speaker 4: Well, can I speak to a supervisor?
Speaker 3: I already spoke to a supervisor when I had you
Speaker 3: on hold, and they're gonna tell you the same thing.
Speaker 3: So I said, well, I still want to speak to them.
Speaker 3: She says, you know what, you should call Verizon back
Speaker 3: because they can absolutely do it for you. They're lying
Speaker 3: to you. I said, so Verizon's lying to me. She says, yes,
Speaker 3: ask for a supervisor. I said, why would I ask
Speaker 3: for a supervisor with Verizon? If a supervisor would Hulu
Speaker 3: is going to tell me the same thing you just did.
Speaker 3: If you just told me, then supervisor can't do anything.
Speaker 3: Why would I ask for a supervisor a Verizon? Right,
Speaker 3: I'm following the fucking bouncing. By the way, this is
Speaker 3: a Hulu. They are de Lulu. Yeah, as Hulu. Do
Speaker 3: you Hulu think you're fucking with?
Speaker 4: Do you think you're right?
Speaker 3: So I said, you know what, I'm gonna roll the
Speaker 3: dice yet, let me speak to your supervisor and I
Speaker 3: get Jane.
Speaker 4: Girl.
Speaker 3: Jane sounds like she's from North Carolina. Maybe I'm having
Speaker 3: a great conversation with her. We seem to understand each
Speaker 3: other on the same you see eye, I said, Jane,
Speaker 3: let me ask your question.
Speaker 4: Who is your boss? Jane? Stop this crazy thing? Crazy?
Speaker 3: Give me yeah, fucking without ads. There is nobody above
Speaker 3: me for me to transfer you to. I said, you
Speaker 3: work for someone, somebody as your boss does your reviews,
Speaker 3: hired you, makes more than you. And although they can't
Speaker 3: get on the phone right now it's two o'clock in
Speaker 3: the morning, you can write them an email and say, listen,
Speaker 3: we need to escalate this because you guys deleted my
Speaker 3: my my account and I can't get it back.
Speaker 4: And it's not a Verizon account, it's a Hulu. It's
Speaker 4: Hulu with no ads, Hulu, that's you.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 2: It sounds to me like an easy fix, though I
Speaker 2: don't know. Why don't you think it's such a fiasco.
Speaker 2: Why does this becoming like you know if i'm because
Speaker 2: to me, it's like, okay, why don't you just undo
Speaker 2: the button that you're pressed?
Speaker 4: Like that's right? Can't you avoid the transaction? Start over?
Speaker 3: I said, get an it guide to avoid it, to
Speaker 3: go and and delete the transaction.
Speaker 4: That's got to be possible. How is this? How is
Speaker 4: this resolved?
Speaker 3: So then she says, call Verizon, cancel your account and
Speaker 3: when you get a new account, it will give you
Speaker 3: the option to get add free again. So I call
Speaker 3: Verizon and I say, I said, look, I'm at my
Speaker 3: wits end here. I've already been fighting with you guys
Speaker 3: and Hulu for three days. If I cancel my account,
Speaker 3: my free account that I get because I have a
Speaker 3: high end phone plan with Verizon, can you give me
Speaker 3: a new, fresh Hulu account and I'll just add the
Speaker 3: ad free back in. No, you have a promotional thing
Speaker 3: and if we cancel it, we won't be able to
Speaker 3: give it back to you, so you'll lose the bundle entirely.
Speaker 4: This is what I'm dealing with. Scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm going into the Verizon store because you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't call your local Verizon store because even though
Speaker 3: they list their nine to seven three area code phone number.
Speaker 6: Scary.
Speaker 3: What happens when you call it, It transfers you right
Speaker 3: to the eight hundred number with hello, I'm your Verizon assistant.
Speaker 4: Hello David. Hello, David's worse AI than you. A piece
Speaker 4: of shit that you use to do my I was
Speaker 4: gonna say that sounded like my guy.
Speaker 3: I I asked them for free dessert. I asked them
Speaker 3: for dessert. I asked them for a napkin. I couldn't
Speaker 3: get ship, so I have to watch, so I had
Speaker 3: to watch listen. I know third world problems.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 3: I know slices a lot of you. There's a layer.
Speaker 3: I know the first will problems. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: people who you're listening to, uh this right now, And
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I know that you have streaming services with ads,
Speaker 3: and that's what that's where you are and that's what
Speaker 3: you have, and that's great and that's and I don't
Speaker 3: forgrudge you that. But I have a family of five
Speaker 3: that now knows I am responsible indirectly for fucking this up,
Speaker 3: for telling them to delete my second account. So I
Speaker 3: am on the hook for making my kids in school
Speaker 3: in college watch commercial and commercials an't the worst thing,
Speaker 3: but if you're if you're watching a movie, you should
Speaker 3: watch it commercial free if possible.
Speaker 4: It's kind of kind of ruins. I get it. Dollars
Speaker 4: and forty cents. We had the money.
Speaker 2: We're like, uh and plus we did it a year
Speaker 2: and a half ago. A year ago, whenever it was I.
Speaker 4: Want my I can't get it.
Speaker 3: This is the bureaucracy of Verizon wire and Hulu and
Speaker 3: clunky systems where they didn't have a button for it,
Speaker 3: but we don't have a button for that.
Speaker 4: Can't do it.
Speaker 2: It's like when you go to a place to go,
Speaker 2: can I get an extra side of sauce? We don't
Speaker 2: have a button for that, but just give me a sauce.
Speaker 4: I can't rut. I got to ring it up for it.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like when I went to that restaurant,
Speaker 3: they couldn't bring me up for a penny, the charge
Speaker 3: me a dollar for soda.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, fucking business. It's unbelievable. So so do we
Speaker 4: have a solution here?
Speaker 3: No, the solution is after this podcast, I'm driving to
Speaker 3: the Verizon Wireless store. Were they gonna tell me, sorry,
Speaker 3: we don't handle streaming in the score. You gotta call
Speaker 3: the fucking number, all right.
Speaker 2: So fuck Verizon Wireless, Fuck Hulu, fuck whatever country I called.
Speaker 2: I want my fuck the ads on Hulu.
Speaker 4: You should they have to film only murders in the
Speaker 4: Verizon store.
Speaker 2: I don't want to make this all about customer service problems,
Speaker 2: but I had one yesterday too, and it's just kind
Speaker 2: of funnybody.
Speaker 4: Wants to hear about your customer service problems.

Speaker 2: column and an adding column, and I wanted I wanted

Speaker 4: planned this.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what. I went to a restaurant for lunch,
Speaker 3: as you do.
Speaker 4: More food, here we go.
Speaker 3: I went to a fantastic Have you ever been the
Speaker 3: yard House?

Speaker 4: You do win ship? Not for my contest? He didn't.
Speaker 3: No, it's not your contest. It's it's the contest run
Speaker 3: by the mall. And I am one hundred percent allowed. Okay,
Speaker 3: so you know what.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna tell you know what.
Speaker 3: So I went there for lunch and I ordered the jumbalalaya,
Speaker 3: and I ordered rice and sausage and shrimp and chicken,
Speaker 3: and is delicious brown sauce over a bet of white rice.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just.
Speaker 2: Protein and carbs, protein and carbs, so good, protein and carbs,
Speaker 2: so delicious.
Speaker 3: And I've had it there before, but I haven't been back.
Speaker 3: I haven't been there in a couple of months.
Speaker 4: By the way, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't suspect Yardhouse to be a place where you'd
Speaker 2: order jumble lie, I have to call you out on
Speaker 2: that for a second. Who the hell is your jumbalaya
Speaker 2: at Yardhouse? Yard House is known for its beer, I'll
Speaker 2: tell you. Okay, so I'm gonna be a for lunch. No,
Speaker 2: but like I would stay, I would stay neutral, do
Speaker 2: the cheese.
Speaker 3: But I didn't order Italian food, Okay, but I ordered
Speaker 3: Jumbalaiah Cajun' had it there before.
Speaker 4: I've had it there four or five times. Okay. I
Speaker 4: don't want to, you know, take a ship.
Speaker 3: There's no creole restaurant that I wanted to go to
Speaker 3: them all. So I get to I get the food,
Speaker 3: and I take a bite of my shrimp, and I
Speaker 3: hear it.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's cardinal rule number one.
Speaker 7: Brody.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm a percent right now for you. Now, the
Speaker 4: shrimp is in the sauce, and I see that the
Speaker 4: tails are on it. We've talked about them.
Speaker 2: Did one of the early episodes of the Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 2: I remember I remember going off on leaving shrimp in
Speaker 2: its shell in a fucking set and it's something that
Speaker 2: you got to pick up with your four.
Speaker 3: Correct Now, it's one thing. If it's on top of
Speaker 3: a salad that you might order, like a Greek set,
Speaker 3: it's still unacceptable. It's still unacceptable, Okay, but you can
Speaker 3: you can. If they're on the top and have sauce
Speaker 3: on them, you can take the shell off. I know
Speaker 3: in fine restaurants they will tell you that the flavor
Speaker 3: stays in the shrimp better. And it's all the flavor
Speaker 3: comes out of the shell.
Speaker 4: It's all. It's yardhouse.
Speaker 3: It's not the fucking four star Michelin's the star dining restaurant.
Speaker 4: It's yardhouse that.
Speaker 2: It's covered in sauce and it's covered in a delicious
Speaker 2: So I have to like lick the sauce off and
Speaker 2: then take the shell off and then throw it back
Speaker 2: into the sauce and mix it like okay.
Speaker 3: So the manager comes off. I didn't call the manager
Speaker 3: a very nice guy. Turns out he's from far Rockaway,
Speaker 3: which is in Queens, not far from where we grew up,
Speaker 3: not that far. Comes over, a really nice guy. He says, hey,
Speaker 3: how's everything going, Guys enjoying lunch? How's your server?
Speaker 4: Everybody? Hey, listen, everything's great. We're regulars here. I have
Speaker 4: a question.
Speaker 3: I've had the jumbalaya before, I've never had the tails
Speaker 3: on the shrimp before. I said, is this a mistake?
Speaker 3: What's going on here? And he says, well, the reason
Speaker 3: we leave the tails on is for the flavor. And
Speaker 3: I said, listen, Doug.
Speaker 4: So choking hazard? Judt Doug, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Said, Doug, listen, I can't see the shell covered in
Speaker 3: brown sauce. And why would I want to go digging
Speaker 3: in the sauce to get the tail off? Well, I said,
Speaker 3: did you just change this rule? Have I been getting
Speaker 3: lucky all this time? No, they just ordered a new
Speaker 3: kind of shrimp, and because it's a gourmet shrimp, it's
Speaker 3: a higher scale quality shrimp.
Speaker 2: Keep the tail off shut to change your policy? Fuck
Speaker 2: that I'm doing I'm magy for you, Brody, I said.
Speaker 3: I said, Doug, I'll tell you what you do. Give
Speaker 3: me the cheap ass shrimp he used to put in
Speaker 3: here before that no one complained about that didn't have
Speaker 3: a co when you bite it, because nobody wants to
Speaker 3: bite shells in sauce. How am I supposed to do
Speaker 3: this with my hands and get the shell off? So
Speaker 3: he says, listen, I see your point. Here's what we
Speaker 3: can do if you order it. We can dshell the
Speaker 3: shrimp for you before we put it in the in
Speaker 3: the dish. I said, so you're telling me, But the
Speaker 3: next time I come here, I want the cooks to go, oh,
Speaker 3: this fuck wants me to take the shells off the.
Speaker 2: Shrimp, dig their fingernails in their asshole first, and then
Speaker 2: I said.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna d shell my shrimp. I said, shouldn't it
Speaker 3: be done in the prep process? I said, nobody else
Speaker 3: has complained. He said, well, we just changed it a
Speaker 3: month ago, a few weeks ago, whatever it was. I said, Doug,
Speaker 3: you gotta tell corporate change it. You exactly changed you
Speaker 3: to tell you to tell them run it up up
Speaker 3: to change mess. What, Brody, They're not just doing that
Speaker 3: at that yard house. They're doing that at yard houses
Speaker 3: around the country.
Speaker 4: I se Doug, was this your idea? He's like, no,
Speaker 4: this is the corporate policy. It's fight. It's a better
Speaker 4: quality shrimp. I go, who complained about the quality of
Speaker 4: the shrimp. I want shitty shrimp without the shell shell.
Speaker 4: Shitty shrimp. That's what I want. And by the way,
Speaker 4: shitty shrimp. You know how I would pronounce.
Speaker 2: It shrimp shrimp shrimp shrimp.
Speaker 4: Nah. You know.
Speaker 2: They do the same thing with olives, and sometimes you
Speaker 2: throw olives tail they the olive. Yeah, why don't do that?
Speaker 2: And then you don't want to flavor the p break
Speaker 2: a break a fucking tooth?
Speaker 4: Oh can I tell you don't know?

Speaker 3: that he was ranting about on his podcast. It's a
Speaker 3: guy who I don't even know if he's Italian, doing
Speaker 3: a TikTok video or reel on Instagram of both about

Speaker 2: and Heprano's a black guy. No, Ay Spears. I need
Speaker 2: to tell our audience doesn't know who he is. So
Speaker 2: I explaining and he's sitting there talking, being interviewed, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, he goes into the voice
Speaker 2: and just like it does a minute of spot on
