WEBVTT - #122: Don't Be a Maskhole! 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:08.119 Starduf doat up. Start Up, Brooklyn Boys, Start Up, Brooklyn 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:17.439 Boys start Data, They making noise Data start Up. Episode one. 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:26.520 It's the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. Yeah, buddy with us, uh 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.360 David Brody in his basement and I am coming to 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.159 you live from my apartment in Jersey City where I 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.400 got a brand new system finally up and running. Okay, 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.760 can we just address the word finally real quick? Oh? 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.479 It finally means at last. It's a synonym. Yeah, and 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.000 I know what the word means. Here's the problem with 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:54.560 the words. What do you mean? Okay? Today is Saturday. 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.720 We are recording the Thursday Brooklyn Boys podcast on Saturday. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:03.840 Truth cause of your new fangled equipment. Wait a second, 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.920 because Thursday you were pre setting it up, and then Friday, 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.400 and then Friday you didn't return any of my phone 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.920 calls or text messages when I was saying, hey, let's 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:20.560 podcast today. Uh, why was that scary? Well, it's funny 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:25.120 that you ask, because what happens is when you put 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.839 a new system in and everything is electronic, and everything 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.360 is on a computer, and I don't want to bore 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.480 the audience with the minutia of it, but when you 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.920 put a system in then your computer says, m hmmm, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.440 I don't like that system. I'm not going to communicate 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.760 with it unless you upgrade me. And so there's a 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:50.400 domino effect of bullshit that ensues when you introduce new 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.800 equipment to a current ecosystem. And that's the best way 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.800 I can put it without getting too technical and boring 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.800 you with the details. So what as a result of 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.560 me trying to get my equipment to talk to my computer, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.720 and then my computer to talk to the new operating system. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.240 It was a cluster. Now listen, you know, I'm a 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.640 fan of Apple. I love Apple to death. But but 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.360 because the system that I got with my with my equipment, 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.000 which by the way, you gotta admit I sound pretty 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.600 fucking good. Right, we'll get to that part in a second. Alright, 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.359 some would say the microphone sounds great, this is okay. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.200 So so when when I when I decided to upgrade 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.560 and put that system in my the operating system on 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:44.320 Apple said, uh no, we can't work with that. You've 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.680 got to now upgrade to the current Apple operating system. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.520 And then I, while you haven't already done that, well 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.480 I'll tell you why we hadn't. I hadn't already done 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.720 it because my editing sero software pro Tools, which is 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.679 an industry thing that we talked about all the time. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.520 Artists use it to record their music and everything, and 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.520 it's a great, it's a great. It is a the 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:10.440 workhorse of the production studio for broadcasters and for artists 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.119 and musicians. It's all you need to know. Anyway, pro 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.440 Tools said, fuck you, I don't want to be on 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.880 the new Apple upgrading system upgrading system. So I had 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.120 to have a guy remote into my computer screen share 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:31.280 for six hours to get the pro tools system my 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.840 new equipment with the microphones and mixer and stuff and 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.040 Apple io os to talk to each other. That in 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:43.240 a nutshell, because you just can't change one, you have 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.839 to change everything. And that is something that I learned 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.800 the hard way. And I'm sure that some people have 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.240 gone through similar things in there, you know, in their 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.960 upgrading lives. But it's like a new piece of equipment 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.080 doesn't want to talk to this other piece of equipment 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.120 because it's old, Like fuck you. You get an upgrade 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.000 to the latest. Who used to do iTunes? Who's the 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.520 one who used to send it out? If Firefox iTunes 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.000 every fucking three days. You do you want to install 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.640 the new iTunes? Do you want to? It's something like that. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.920 It's like because if you don't, then you are up 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.000 for a security breach. Because there's patches and fixes, bug fixes. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.040 That's my favorite. When the download store the Apple it's like, oh, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.919 an update for seven of my apps, and I'm looking 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.760 at what they've introduced, like what new features? Bugs and fixes? 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.920 Fuck you bugs and fixes. Yeah. Bugs and fixes, by 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.960 the way, is a nice way of saying we installed 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.960 ads in the software, or we took out the feature 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.760 you liked and left you with not what you wanted, right, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.719 because they never improve the app, they only make it shittier. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.279 Bugs and fixes means, you know what, we're gonna fix 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.960 the glitch, but because we can't use the take the 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.800 glitch out and make it work right with the cool stuff, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.840 We're gonna take the cool stuff out so that it 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.880 works right. It's like it's like my car has a problem. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.920 I'll take it to the mechanic. He says, I gave 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.200 it back to you. You no longer have air conditioning 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.240 or radio, but it runs great. Now. That's not what 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.160 I wanted. I wanted to try to fix the car 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.080 as it was. Yeah, bugs and fixes. So there were 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.400 bugs that worked with the air conditioners, so just roll 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.920 your windows down. Yeah, So in a nutshell, bugs and fixes. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.720 I was chasing it was like chasing my tail for 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.880 like six hours to try and upgrade everything. So all 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.800 the bugs and all the fixes came out of it. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.040 So now that's a lie. That's that's a blatant lie. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:39.279 Why because today on Saturday, we were supposed to start 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.200 recording at two o'clock and then when we when I 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.760 called you bugs and fixes again once again, bugs and fixes. Yes, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.280 so we've spent by the way, bugs and fixes, my 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:54.240 favorite morning show from the eighties. We have now spent 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.400 uh an hour and a half, Yeah, with your bugs 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.080 and fixes. And to which I said, I sent you 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.919 a text message last night and I said, huh, I 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.040 spent on the microphone. I have neither bugs nor fixes 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.160 to worry about. So thank you. You spent more than 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.880 ten times my my microphone and you have bugs and 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.360 fixes so well, yeah, because it got the equipment got 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:26.159 too sophisticated for my current environment. Windows. Sorry, okay, there 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.480 you've got a case of the COVID there, Brodie, No, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.839 I was I was choking on my suparior operating system Windows, okay, 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.960 because I thought, maybe you should see a doctor. You 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.679 want to you want to face time your your medic 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.760 real quick. By the way, that that's become like the 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.560 catchphrase now, and I'm not because if you, if you 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.120 have any any you sneeze or blink, people forget it. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:54.159 People like he's got it, he's got it. Yeah. Well, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.240 I wanted to say one thing. Um I saw on 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:05.120 Twitter somebody took their um. Somebody actually commented, They're like, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.600 why why does scaries mic quality sound better than yours? Brodie? 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.560 And you were very honest with her. Yeah I was, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.360 And you were honest with her, and and and and listen, 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.200 we're trying the best for everybody. I'm not trying to 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.960 criticize Brodie. I'm a little bit of a tech geek. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.880 So I love to have that sound. I don't want 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.760 to have that. And and and as much as I 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.800 would like Brodie to have that as well, he doesn't. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.520 He doesn't have that because that that that's what his 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.720 He went with this other microphone. We're lucky were he 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.680 even has this microphone, so we can even do this, right, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.160 I have kids and scary has a super broadcasting unit, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.000 so which I call my baby anyway, But he doesn't 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.040 cry or take ships that I have to change. Neither 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.400 do my kids any longer because they're old enough. But 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.800 my equipment just ships the bed. That's right, that's right. Yeah. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.480 That that being said, you'll never have to pay for 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.920 college for your equipment. Um, however, is that what you're 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.040 going through now? One now and then one and a 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.440 year and a half. Yeah, oh, and then one and 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.240 one in three or four years. Where do you find 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.960 all this money? I don't spend my money on super equipment. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.000 That's where I find my money. And you have to 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.840 take out loans man. That's the way the world works anyway. Anyway. Um, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.520 as far as the microphone, I think we should dig 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:28.320 deeper into your financials. Let's do that now. As far 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.599 as the microphone goes, last week I recorded the podcast 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:38.520 on my laptops internal microphone. As opposed to the microphone. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.480 I bought my blue snowball, which I love. So this 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.240 week should sound much better than last week, I'm assuming, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.520 by the way, I didn't realize that until halfway through 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.599 my Walkers and Talkers podcast this week. So if you 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.560 listen to that. You'll hear it sound like crap for 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.680 the first to our fifteen minutes and then it switches over. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.720 So does that mike have a mute on it? I 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.520 want want to perform a test right here live on 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.719 the podcast. Does not have a mute button on? You 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.680 don't get because I was gonna What I've wanted to 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.720 do was I wanted you to stop talking, don't stop recording, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.040 but I want you to and and don't stop believing you. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.880 Ye um, But I want you What I want you 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.760 to do is I want you to get the microphone 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.000 away from you, and I'm gonna pot you up on 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.640 my board here. So when it comes to this part 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.000 of the podcast, we could go back and listen to 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.319 see because we you might give that forty four dollars 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.559 back and return it to the store and we can 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.800 come right up here through this this audio console. I 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.679 just want to perform this test. But if I unplug 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.640 or mute the microphone, how are you going to hear me? No, 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.240 I'm gonna pot you up. I have I have you're 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.960 on a fader on my computer right here. You know 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:50.760 that fancy equipment that I got. Yes, okay, So so 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.920 I see you here on my I have you off though, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.199 because you're talking into your microphone over there, but turn 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.720 do whatever you need to do. Don't stop recording. Turn 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.640 the microphone off for a second, and I'm gonna pod 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.839 you up in here. Why don't you just pod me? What? 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.120 What do you mean pod? Why? Yeah? Why don't you? Okay? 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.600 So here we all right, So you're on okay, So 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.080 now you are coming through my fancy equipment. Okay, but 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.160 I don't have to unplug my microphone for that. People 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:22.959 are hearing you now through my through my my mixing console. Now, 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.600 if we could put up with this sound, and I 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.720 bet you used an upgrade. So you're saying, you're saying 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.040 that the microphone on my tablet is a better sound 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:37.480 than the really nice recording microphoney, money well spent. Well, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.520 that's what I'm getting at, And that's what I'm saying. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.720 You may go get a refund. You may get some 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.359 free dessert out of this. Why would I want to refund? 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.800 I know, because when I want to record my Walking 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.679 Dead podcast, I have to call you up and room. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.040 You can just want to scream into your tablet. No, 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.800 I'm not gonna do that. Don't scream. All right, I'm 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.360 turning you off of my mixing console, alright, and then 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.760 we're gonna go back to your microphone. Alright, let me 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.800 get now you're back to go back doing the podcast. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.920 Now that'd be great. Thanks. Now, well, you know, well, listen, 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.240 our listeners are with us through thick and thin. Yes, 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.440 but but it's getting really thick. We could have done 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:11.720 this in the hour and a half that we kept 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.360 people waiting. I told all I told the slices that 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.240 have the podcast around four o'clock East Coast time, because 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.240 we were going to record it too for an hour. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.280 All right, let's move on to bigger and better things. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.600 I kind of wanted to ambush my father because, oh man, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.559 it was like capturing lightning in a bottle. The other 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.640 day when I got him on the phone, he he 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.960 was entering the car and he was coming he says, 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.680 they were entering the car. He was getting coming in, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.760 he was coming back. He was getting in the car. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.520 I was on the phone making he was making his 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:51.839 entrance into the car. It was a yes, he uh well. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.360 He used to Oh my god. For years, we had 0:11:53.360 --> 0:12:00.200 a Caddy. We had the quintessential Cadillac that. Wait minute, 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.600 Wait a minute, wait a minute. If I don't answer 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.640 that question, otherwise you gotta hit the jingle. I already 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.160 know your father got a new car. I forgot he's 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.400 got the same car company as you. And and uh, 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.520 I don't want you to hit the jingle. So I 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.480 know what kind of car you has. No, you don't 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.840 want to know what kind of car my father has. No, 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.840 I don't think it's important. I thought it was important. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.360 I thought he had the Caddy. I thought it was 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.840 very well. He had a Caddy back in the day. Listen, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.040 he had the he had the one from that looked 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.160 like like Tony Soprano style, where you can put bodies 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.839 in the trunk. That's how big it is back there. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.880 Every Cadillac has that trunk. The newer ones, the newer 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.080 ones sucked. In fact, he he cried the day that 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.520 they took two feet off the Cadillac in Wait a minute, 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.360 waite they were they were they two feet off some 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.200 guy who rat it out the mob. No. Back in 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.120 the middle of the eighties, Cadillac finally came around. They 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.560 were like one of the last car car brands to say, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.240 these things are like boats. We gotta take some feet 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.199 off of this. And my father was like, why, oh why, 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.800 my Cadillac eight to Coope Deville was the perfect car. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:08.520 Showing my car Anthony six rolls around. They've taken two 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.600 feet off they took could you believe me? It could 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.360 have been tree feet Anthony. That's what sucks. And he 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.959 and the Cadillac was never the same sense. I mean, 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.960 listen to they have a great they have great cars now, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.080 but they're just different. They're not what they were. So anyway, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.440 now he drives that Lexus and he's very proud. All right, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:34.240 hit the jingle that was scary and before anyone says 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.560 I asked you to tell me, I stopped you like 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.920 three minutes ago and said it wasn't important. But it 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.080 was an accident. It was an accident, an accident anyway. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.319 So anyway, so my father was on the phone my mother, 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.160 and my father gets in the car. He goes whose 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.240 freaking woman in front of me? To breaking issues all 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.240 over the place, And I got my mask on and 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.800 she's like right up, leaning up on me. She's leaning 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.959 up on me, and and my mother's like, what's the matter, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.719 what happened? Why you're just places to freaking crowded. You 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.160 canna fit anybody, you know, you can fit people in there. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.520 You can just so. So my father's like social distance, 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:14.520 social distance, and she's like, uh, yeah, I work in 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.360 an e er. I'm good. I'm not afraid of anything. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.320 And that made my father even more angry, because you're 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.800 a fucking hospital worker and first of all, you're you're 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.680 practicing band social just saying. Secondly, you've been in contact 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.760 with hundreds of patients who have it and now potentially 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.640 giving it to me. It's fit to be tied. He 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.120 was so angry. I kind of wanted to get him 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.680 on the phone, but maybe not. Yeah, by the way, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.520 I got a tweet today that someone asked for my 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.760 mom to be on the podcast. Yeah, we can call 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.760 her too. It's it's a little it's a little trickier, 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.360 especially with scary super equipment, because you'd have to wait 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.480 another hour and a half to make that happen. So 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.440 that's not true. I can do it live right now. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.880 We're connected. I'd like to give my mom a heads 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.760 up in case she's taking a nap um. I thought 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:06.040 you're about to say taking a ship. Wow, you are classless. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.120 Why would I say that about my mom. I wouldn't 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.160 say it about your unless she's Because of the way 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.120 we talk on this podcast, I thought maybe you're going 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.360 there when you said taken uh, and I'm like, oh 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.360 my god, is he gonna say ship? Oh nap? Okay, 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.760 got it. So so just in case you thought I was, 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.280 you said it before I could right truth truth. Yeah, No, 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.000 I'm not gonna talk about my mom that way. No, 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.680 she's taking a nap in the afternoon. Maybe. By the way, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.880 she's fine. I haven't seen her in a month because um, 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:36.000 she does not want to get sick um. And so 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.160 I am going to see her, uh next week I 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.440 think next Wednesday, A week from Wednesday, I don't know. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.560 One Wednesday coming up. I have to drive it to 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.120 her doctor for a regular appointment. So I'm gonna be 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.600 full masking gloves, um, just to you know, make make 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.280 her feel comfortable. She'll be in masking gloves as well. Also, 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.640 I don't want your theories on masking gloves, so don't 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.120 tweet me. Um, you live, you be you. That's the 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.720 last thing anybody want. Who wha what you think people 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.040 are gonna impart their opinion because you say the word 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.480 mask it said, everybody's a doctor all of a sudden, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.080 everyone has an opinion, and that's fine, but I don't 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.160 want it, so I'm gonna do what I Well, that's that. 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.480 That's exactly the problem I was facing. We talked about 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.720 this on The Big Show. If you give me good advice, 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.400 if you if you say to me legitimately. I heard 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:26.200 Dr Fauci on the news, who's America's top expert on 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.920 these kind of things? And by the way from Brooklyn. Yeah, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.480 by the way, Faucci Pharmacy was in our neighborhood. His 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.960 parents owned a pharmacy. I posted that, Yeah, there's a 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.920 place that's now a bakery and now and and it 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.480 was owned by the Fauci's back in the day. He 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:46.120 legit grew up just blocks from me and Brody. Brody 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.320 and me, No, you had it right, and Brodi in 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.880 that sense because he grew up a few blocks from me. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.800 Is what you said? So and which is correct? Yeah 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.440 you were good? So yeah, so I so that's kind 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.080 of cool. I'm like, this guy is like leading the way. 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.280 This is a mean, it's kind of like a Brooklyn 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.879 boy done well. I Mean, we're very Brooklyn proud on 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.600 this podcast. You know, we always celebrate Brooklyn people, especially, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.840 do we really because we named the Brooklyn podcast Brooklyn Boys. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.760 So yeah, well, well Faucci, we just wanted to highlight 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.080 that a fellow Brooklyn nights. So continue. Well, you know 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.080 what I have to say, though it has no effect 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.360 on us. We don't get any credit. Like people go, oh, 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.199 he went to my high school. That means nothing unless 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.680 you're Dr Fauci. Only Dr Fauci gets people are like, oh, yeah, oh, 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.399 this guy is from my town. All that means is 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.119 his parents had sex in the same town. Your parents 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.919 had sex. It doesn't make you a better basketball player. 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.119 It doesn't make your town any cooler. So I'm not 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.600 one of those people that's like, hey, we went to 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.960 the same high school forty years apart, and this is 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.479 what Now. Look, if if we're making conversation, I'll mention 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.719 Colin Quinn and Spike Lee went to my high school 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.840 when I was a kid, you know, growing up. But 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:58.879 that doesn't make my high school better and it doesn't 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.720 make me cooler. Just means coincidentally we grew up on 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.640 the same neighbor Well those are some would say that's ironic, 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.639 but that's wrong because it's a coincidence, right, it's a coincidence. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.480 So I'm happy that Dr Fauci, you know, came from 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.760 our neighborhood. Um, and it only just it only disproves 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:17.040 the myth that everyone in our neighborhood was add So 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:21.080 we had one that wasn't. But it doesn't make he 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.560 went to medical school, right, It doesn't make our old 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.200 neighborhood any We had one. We had one that got out, 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.240 one that got out. Yeah, I would like to think 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.080 that I got out. But my point is it doesn't. Well, 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.760 every town has their hero and heroes. It just so happens. 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.880 One of the most prominent talked about and important heroes 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.400 of the day right now is Dr Anthony Faucci. And 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.840 so I am proud that he's from Brooklyn. Am I 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:50.960 trying to lay claim or get credit? Non associated? Right? 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.320 I mean, don't you think, Well, I'm more proud of 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:59.080 him for getting out and doing this. Well, Um, but 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.040 it doesn't It doesn't change my You know, people are 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:03.760 gonna go, oh, you grew up in Bens and you 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.520 grew up in a better area now because Dr Faucci 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.800 lived there, I didn't know Dr Fauci. I didn't help 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:11.960 him with if I helped him with his tests, he's 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.320 much older than we are. But if I helped him graduate, 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.879 or you know, I did better than you can if 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.560 we went to school together and I had better grades 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.359 than him, well, first of all, it made me look 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.360 smarter than him at the time, or at least better 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.000 at taking tests. But then it makes me look like 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.879 a bigger failure if for not doing as well as 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.960 Dr Fauci. So anyway, let's move on from Fauci. But yes, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.080 he's from our neighborhood. Yes, so, so there was a 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.879 reason why you brought his name up. Uh yeah, just 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.040 the whole thing about the you know, people giving advice 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.120 and telling you what to do and how to be safe. Look, 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.800 if you wanna um, if you want to tell people, hey, 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.760 you should wear a mask because it has these benefits 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.480 to it, that's fine. But don't you know I see 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.800 people posting on everybody's pictures. If you put up a 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.720 picture of you wearing a mask, people, I see it 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.920 on social media. Oh, you shouldn't be doing that. You 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.800 shouldn't be doing that. Look, you should not be wearing 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.760 an N nine mask because those could be donated to 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.919 the hospitals where the first responders and medical staff have 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.359 a shortage now, even though millions are being made and shipped, 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.800 and we just got planeloads from Russia and and the 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.240 government is shipping to the States, and I know that 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.320 they're being supplied. But the average person doesn't need an 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.040 N nine mask. So if you if you have one, 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:25.679 hold on, I know where you're going. If you have 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.560 an N ninety five mask, you're only supposed to in 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:33.720 theory have one if you are medical professionals or if 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.960 you are a primary care primary caregiver. So if you're 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.879 taking care of your mom or dad would cancer and 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.760 you have to doubly protect yourself and them, you're supposed 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.840 to have them. But if you have a regular mask. 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.840 By the way, my my, my youngest learned how to sew. 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.760 We have a song machine that we have. Nobody's touched 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.760 it in at least at least a decade. Uh down downstairs, right, 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.040 my daughter decided she was going to watch a YouTube 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.719 video on how so she did and now she's sewing 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.320 masks for all of us. So shout out to my God. 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.639 So I have a cool. So what we did was 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.000 we took clothing that we weren't wearing anymore. Um, that 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.960 was the right thickness. And she's just cutting up shirts 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.639 and leggings, um and making really nice patterned masks for 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.359 us so that we can wear them and rotate them 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.800 and wash them and and that's awesome. So thank you YouTube, 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.680 Thank you my kid. Yesterday's clothing is tomorrow's mask, that's right. 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:31.800 And this is not clothing that we would have donated 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:37.520 to uh clothing shelters that need clothing. This is ripped up, old, 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.960 bleached stained stuff that we had that there were good 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.800
