Speaker 1: Starduf doat up. Start Up, Brooklyn Boys, Start Up, Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys start Data, They making noise Data start Up. Episode one.
Speaker 1: It's the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. Yeah, buddy with us, uh
Speaker 1: David Brody in his basement and I am coming to
Speaker 1: you live from my apartment in Jersey City where I
Speaker 1: got a brand new system finally up and running. Okay,
Speaker 1: can we just address the word finally real quick? Oh?
Speaker 1: It finally means at last. It's a synonym. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I know what the word means. Here's the problem with
Speaker 1: the words. What do you mean? Okay? Today is Saturday.
Speaker 1: We are recording the Thursday Brooklyn Boys podcast on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Truth cause of your new fangled equipment. Wait a second,
Speaker 1: because Thursday you were pre setting it up, and then Friday,
Speaker 1: and then Friday you didn't return any of my phone
Speaker 1: calls or text messages when I was saying, hey, let's
Speaker 1: podcast today. Uh, why was that scary? Well, it's funny
Speaker 1: that you ask, because what happens is when you put
Speaker 1: a new system in and everything is electronic, and everything
Speaker 1: is on a computer, and I don't want to bore
Speaker 1: the audience with the minutia of it, but when you
Speaker 1: put a system in then your computer says, m hmmm,
Speaker 1: I don't like that system. I'm not going to communicate
Speaker 1: with it unless you upgrade me. And so there's a
Speaker 1: domino effect of bullshit that ensues when you introduce new
Speaker 1: equipment to a current ecosystem. And that's the best way
Speaker 1: I can put it without getting too technical and boring
Speaker 1: you with the details. So what as a result of
Speaker 1: me trying to get my equipment to talk to my computer,
Speaker 1: and then my computer to talk to the new operating system.
Speaker 1: It was a cluster. Now listen, you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of Apple. I love Apple to death. But but
Speaker 1: because the system that I got with my with my equipment,
Speaker 1: which by the way, you gotta admit I sound pretty
Speaker 1: fucking good. Right, we'll get to that part in a second. Alright,
Speaker 1: some would say the microphone sounds great, this is okay.
Speaker 1: So so when when I when I decided to upgrade
Speaker 1: and put that system in my the operating system on
Speaker 1: Apple said, uh no, we can't work with that. You've
Speaker 1: got to now upgrade to the current Apple operating system.
Speaker 1: And then I, while you haven't already done that, well
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why we hadn't. I hadn't already done
Speaker 1: it because my editing sero software pro Tools, which is
Speaker 1: an industry thing that we talked about all the time.
Speaker 1: Artists use it to record their music and everything, and
Speaker 1: it's a great, it's a great. It is a the
Speaker 1: workhorse of the production studio for broadcasters and for artists
Speaker 1: and musicians. It's all you need to know. Anyway, pro
Speaker 1: Tools said, fuck you, I don't want to be on
Speaker 1: the new Apple upgrading system upgrading system. So I had
Speaker 1: to have a guy remote into my computer screen share
Speaker 1: for six hours to get the pro tools system my
Speaker 1: new equipment with the microphones and mixer and stuff and
Speaker 1: Apple io os to talk to each other. That in
Speaker 1: a nutshell, because you just can't change one, you have
Speaker 1: to change everything. And that is something that I learned
Speaker 1: the hard way. And I'm sure that some people have
Speaker 1: gone through similar things in there, you know, in their
Speaker 1: upgrading lives. But it's like a new piece of equipment
Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk to this other piece of equipment
Speaker 1: because it's old, Like fuck you. You get an upgrade
Speaker 1: to the latest. Who used to do iTunes? Who's the
Speaker 1: one who used to send it out? If Firefox iTunes
Speaker 1: every fucking three days. You do you want to install
Speaker 1: the new iTunes? Do you want to? It's something like that.
Speaker 1: It's like because if you don't, then you are up
Speaker 1: for a security breach. Because there's patches and fixes, bug fixes.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. When the download store the Apple it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: an update for seven of my apps, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at what they've introduced, like what new features? Bugs and fixes?
Speaker 1: Fuck you bugs and fixes. Yeah. Bugs and fixes, by
Speaker 1: the way, is a nice way of saying we installed
Speaker 1: ads in the software, or we took out the feature
Speaker 1: you liked and left you with not what you wanted, right,
Speaker 1: because they never improve the app, they only make it shittier.
Speaker 1: Bugs and fixes means, you know what, we're gonna fix
Speaker 1: the glitch, but because we can't use the take the
Speaker 1: glitch out and make it work right with the cool stuff,
Speaker 1: We're gonna take the cool stuff out so that it
Speaker 1: works right. It's like it's like my car has a problem.
Speaker 1: I'll take it to the mechanic. He says, I gave
Speaker 1: it back to you. You no longer have air conditioning
Speaker 1: or radio, but it runs great. Now. That's not what
Speaker 1: I wanted. I wanted to try to fix the car
Speaker 1: as it was. Yeah, bugs and fixes. So there were
Speaker 1: bugs that worked with the air conditioners, so just roll
Speaker 1: your windows down. Yeah, So in a nutshell, bugs and fixes.
Speaker 1: I was chasing it was like chasing my tail for
Speaker 1: like six hours to try and upgrade everything. So all
Speaker 1: the bugs and all the fixes came out of it.
Speaker 1: So now that's a lie. That's that's a blatant lie.
Speaker 1: Why because today on Saturday, we were supposed to start
Speaker 1: recording at two o'clock and then when we when I
Speaker 1: called you bugs and fixes again once again, bugs and fixes. Yes,
Speaker 1: so we've spent by the way, bugs and fixes, my
Speaker 1: favorite morning show from the eighties. We have now spent
Speaker 1: uh an hour and a half, Yeah, with your bugs
Speaker 1: and fixes. And to which I said, I sent you
Speaker 1: a text message last night and I said, huh, I
Speaker 1: spent on the microphone. I have neither bugs nor fixes
Speaker 1: to worry about. So thank you. You spent more than
Speaker 1: ten times my my microphone and you have bugs and
Speaker 1: fixes so well, yeah, because it got the equipment got
Speaker 1: too sophisticated for my current environment. Windows. Sorry, okay, there
Speaker 1: you've got a case of the COVID there, Brodie, No,
Speaker 1: I was I was choking on my suparior operating system Windows, okay,
Speaker 1: because I thought, maybe you should see a doctor. You
Speaker 1: want to you want to face time your your medic
Speaker 1: real quick. By the way, that that's become like the
Speaker 1: catchphrase now, and I'm not because if you, if you
Speaker 1: have any any you sneeze or blink, people forget it.
Speaker 1: People like he's got it, he's got it. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I wanted to say one thing. Um I saw on
Speaker 1: Twitter somebody took their um. Somebody actually commented, They're like,
Speaker 1: why why does scaries mic quality sound better than yours? Brodie?
Speaker 1: And you were very honest with her. Yeah I was,
Speaker 1: And you were honest with her, and and and and listen,
Speaker 1: we're trying the best for everybody. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: criticize Brodie. I'm a little bit of a tech geek.
Speaker 1: So I love to have that sound. I don't want
Speaker 1: to have that. And and and as much as I
Speaker 1: would like Brodie to have that as well, he doesn't.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that because that that that's what his
Speaker 1: He went with this other microphone. We're lucky were he
Speaker 1: even has this microphone, so we can even do this, right,
Speaker 1: I have kids and scary has a super broadcasting unit,
Speaker 1: so which I call my baby anyway, But he doesn't
Speaker 1: cry or take ships that I have to change. Neither
Speaker 1: do my kids any longer because they're old enough. But
Speaker 1: my equipment just ships the bed. That's right, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That that being said, you'll never have to pay for
Speaker 1: college for your equipment. Um, however, is that what you're
Speaker 1: going through now? One now and then one and a
Speaker 1: year and a half. Yeah, oh, and then one and
Speaker 1: one in three or four years. Where do you find
Speaker 1: all this money? I don't spend my money on super equipment.
Speaker 1: That's where I find my money. And you have to
Speaker 1: take out loans man. That's the way the world works anyway. Anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: as far as the microphone, I think we should dig
Speaker 1: deeper into your financials. Let's do that now. As far
Speaker 1: as the microphone goes, last week I recorded the podcast
Speaker 1: on my laptops internal microphone. As opposed to the microphone.
Speaker 1: I bought my blue snowball, which I love. So this
Speaker 1: week should sound much better than last week, I'm assuming,
Speaker 1: by the way, I didn't realize that until halfway through
Speaker 1: my Walkers and Talkers podcast this week. So if you
Speaker 1: listen to that. You'll hear it sound like crap for
Speaker 1: the first to our fifteen minutes and then it switches over.
Speaker 1: So does that mike have a mute on it? I
Speaker 1: want want to perform a test right here live on
Speaker 1: the podcast. Does not have a mute button on? You
Speaker 1: don't get because I was gonna What I've wanted to
Speaker 1: do was I wanted you to stop talking, don't stop recording,
Speaker 1: but I want you to and and don't stop believing you.
Speaker 1: Ye um, But I want you What I want you
Speaker 1: to do is I want you to get the microphone
Speaker 1: away from you, and I'm gonna pot you up on
Speaker 1: my board here. So when it comes to this part
Speaker 1: of the podcast, we could go back and listen to
Speaker 1: see because we you might give that forty four dollars
Speaker 1: back and return it to the store and we can
Speaker 1: come right up here through this this audio console. I
Speaker 1: just want to perform this test. But if I unplug
Speaker 1: or mute the microphone, how are you going to hear me? No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pot you up. I have I have you're
Speaker 1: on a fader on my computer right here. You know
Speaker 1: that fancy equipment that I got. Yes, okay, So so
Speaker 1: I see you here on my I have you off though,
Speaker 1: because you're talking into your microphone over there, but turn
Speaker 1: do whatever you need to do. Don't stop recording. Turn
Speaker 1: the microphone off for a second, and I'm gonna pod
Speaker 1: you up in here. Why don't you just pod me? What?
Speaker 1: What do you mean pod? Why? Yeah? Why don't you? Okay?
Speaker 1: So here we all right, So you're on okay, So
Speaker 1: now you are coming through my fancy equipment. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I don't have to unplug my microphone for that. People
Speaker 1: are hearing you now through my through my my mixing console. Now,
Speaker 1: if we could put up with this sound, and I
Speaker 1: bet you used an upgrade. So you're saying, you're saying
Speaker 1: that the microphone on my tablet is a better sound
Speaker 1: than the really nice recording microphoney, money well spent. Well,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm getting at, And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You may go get a refund. You may get some
Speaker 1: free dessert out of this. Why would I want to refund?
Speaker 1: I know, because when I want to record my Walking
Speaker 1: Dead podcast, I have to call you up and room.
Speaker 1: You can just want to scream into your tablet. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. Don't scream. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: turning you off of my mixing console, alright, and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back to your microphone. Alright, let me
Speaker 1: get now you're back to go back doing the podcast.
Speaker 1: Now that'd be great. Thanks. Now, well, you know, well, listen,
Speaker 1: our listeners are with us through thick and thin. Yes,
Speaker 1: but but it's getting really thick. We could have done
Speaker 1: this in the hour and a half that we kept
Speaker 1: people waiting. I told all I told the slices that
Speaker 1: have the podcast around four o'clock East Coast time, because
Speaker 1: we were going to record it too for an hour.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to bigger and better things.
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to ambush my father because, oh man,
Speaker 1: it was like capturing lightning in a bottle. The other
Speaker 1: day when I got him on the phone, he he
Speaker 1: was entering the car and he was coming he says,
Speaker 1: they were entering the car. He was getting coming in,
Speaker 1: he was coming back. He was getting in the car.
Speaker 1: I was on the phone making he was making his
Speaker 1: entrance into the car. It was a yes, he uh well.
Speaker 1: He used to Oh my god. For years, we had
Speaker 1: a Caddy. We had the quintessential Cadillac that. Wait minute,
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute. If I don't answer
Speaker 1: that question, otherwise you gotta hit the jingle. I already
Speaker 1: know your father got a new car. I forgot he's
Speaker 1: got the same car company as you. And and uh,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to hit the jingle. So I
Speaker 1: know what kind of car you has. No, you don't
Speaker 1: want to know what kind of car my father has. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's important. I thought it was important.
Speaker 1: I thought he had the Caddy. I thought it was
Speaker 1: very well. He had a Caddy back in the day. Listen,
Speaker 1: he had the he had the one from that looked
Speaker 1: like like Tony Soprano style, where you can put bodies
Speaker 1: in the trunk. That's how big it is back there.
Speaker 1: Every Cadillac has that trunk. The newer ones, the newer
Speaker 1: ones sucked. In fact, he he cried the day that
Speaker 1: they took two feet off the Cadillac in Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: waite they were they were they two feet off some
Speaker 1: guy who rat it out the mob. No. Back in
Speaker 1: the middle of the eighties, Cadillac finally came around. They
Speaker 1: were like one of the last car car brands to say,
Speaker 1: these things are like boats. We gotta take some feet
Speaker 1: off of this. And my father was like, why, oh why,
Speaker 1: my Cadillac eight to Coope Deville was the perfect car.
Speaker 1: Showing my car Anthony six rolls around. They've taken two
Speaker 1: feet off they took could you believe me? It could
Speaker 1: have been tree feet Anthony. That's what sucks. And he
Speaker 1: and the Cadillac was never the same sense. I mean,
Speaker 1: listen to they have a great they have great cars now,
Speaker 1: but they're just different. They're not what they were. So anyway,
Speaker 1: now he drives that Lexus and he's very proud. All right,
Speaker 1: hit the jingle that was scary and before anyone says
Speaker 1: I asked you to tell me, I stopped you like
Speaker 1: three minutes ago and said it wasn't important. But it
Speaker 1: was an accident. It was an accident, an accident anyway.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so my father was on the phone my mother,
Speaker 1: and my father gets in the car. He goes whose
Speaker 1: freaking woman in front of me? To breaking issues all
Speaker 1: over the place, And I got my mask on and
Speaker 1: she's like right up, leaning up on me. She's leaning
Speaker 1: up on me, and and my mother's like, what's the matter,
Speaker 1: what happened? Why you're just places to freaking crowded. You
Speaker 1: canna fit anybody, you know, you can fit people in there.
Speaker 1: You can just so. So my father's like social distance,
Speaker 1: social distance, and she's like, uh, yeah, I work in
Speaker 1: an e er. I'm good. I'm not afraid of anything.
Speaker 1: And that made my father even more angry, because you're
Speaker 1: a fucking hospital worker and first of all, you're you're
Speaker 1: practicing band social just saying. Secondly, you've been in contact
Speaker 1: with hundreds of patients who have it and now potentially
Speaker 1: giving it to me. It's fit to be tied. He
Speaker 1: was so angry. I kind of wanted to get him
Speaker 1: on the phone, but maybe not. Yeah, by the way,
Speaker 1: I got a tweet today that someone asked for my
Speaker 1: mom to be on the podcast. Yeah, we can call
Speaker 1: her too. It's it's a little it's a little trickier,
Speaker 1: especially with scary super equipment, because you'd have to wait
Speaker 1: another hour and a half to make that happen. So
Speaker 1: that's not true. I can do it live right now.
Speaker 1: We're connected. I'd like to give my mom a heads
Speaker 1: up in case she's taking a nap um. I thought
Speaker 1: you're about to say taking a ship. Wow, you are classless.
Speaker 1: Why would I say that about my mom. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say it about your unless she's Because of the way
Speaker 1: we talk on this podcast, I thought maybe you're going
Speaker 1: there when you said taken uh, and I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, is he gonna say ship? Oh nap? Okay,
Speaker 1: got it. So so just in case you thought I was,
Speaker 1: you said it before I could right truth truth. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about my mom that way. No,
Speaker 1: she's taking a nap in the afternoon. Maybe. By the way,
Speaker 1: she's fine. I haven't seen her in a month because um,
Speaker 1: she does not want to get sick um. And so
Speaker 1: I am going to see her, uh next week I
Speaker 1: think next Wednesday, A week from Wednesday, I don't know.
Speaker 1: One Wednesday coming up. I have to drive it to
Speaker 1: her doctor for a regular appointment. So I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: full masking gloves, um, just to you know, make make
Speaker 1: her feel comfortable. She'll be in masking gloves as well. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't want your theories on masking gloves, so don't
Speaker 1: tweet me. Um, you live, you be you. That's the
Speaker 1: last thing anybody want. Who wha what you think people
Speaker 1: are gonna impart their opinion because you say the word
Speaker 1: mask it said, everybody's a doctor all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: everyone has an opinion, and that's fine, but I don't
Speaker 1: want it, so I'm gonna do what I Well, that's that.
Speaker 1: That's exactly the problem I was facing. We talked about
Speaker 1: this on The Big Show. If you give me good advice,
Speaker 1: if you if you say to me legitimately. I heard
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci on the news, who's America's top expert on
Speaker 1: these kind of things? And by the way from Brooklyn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, Faucci Pharmacy was in our neighborhood. His
Speaker 1: parents owned a pharmacy. I posted that, Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: place that's now a bakery and now and and it
Speaker 1: was owned by the Fauci's back in the day. He
Speaker 1: legit grew up just blocks from me and Brody. Brody
Speaker 1: and me, No, you had it right, and Brodi in
Speaker 1: that sense because he grew up a few blocks from me.
Speaker 1: Is what you said? So and which is correct? Yeah
Speaker 1: you were good? So yeah, so I so that's kind
Speaker 1: of cool. I'm like, this guy is like leading the way.
Speaker 1: This is a mean, it's kind of like a Brooklyn
Speaker 1: boy done well. I Mean, we're very Brooklyn proud on
Speaker 1: this podcast. You know, we always celebrate Brooklyn people, especially,
Speaker 1: do we really because we named the Brooklyn podcast Brooklyn Boys.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, well Faucci, we just wanted to highlight
Speaker 1: that a fellow Brooklyn nights. So continue. Well, you know
Speaker 1: what I have to say, though it has no effect
Speaker 1: on us. We don't get any credit. Like people go, oh,
Speaker 1: he went to my high school. That means nothing unless
Speaker 1: you're Dr Fauci. Only Dr Fauci gets people are like, oh, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy is from my town. All that means is
Speaker 1: his parents had sex in the same town. Your parents
Speaker 1: had sex. It doesn't make you a better basketball player.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make your town any cooler. So I'm not
Speaker 1: one of those people that's like, hey, we went to
Speaker 1: the same high school forty years apart, and this is
Speaker 1: what Now. Look, if if we're making conversation, I'll mention
Speaker 1: Colin Quinn and Spike Lee went to my high school
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, you know, growing up. But
Speaker 1: that doesn't make my high school better and it doesn't
Speaker 1: make me cooler. Just means coincidentally we grew up on
Speaker 1: the same neighbor Well those are some would say that's ironic,
Speaker 1: but that's wrong because it's a coincidence, right, it's a coincidence.
Speaker 1: So I'm happy that Dr Fauci, you know, came from
Speaker 1: our neighborhood. Um, and it only just it only disproves
Speaker 1: the myth that everyone in our neighborhood was add So
Speaker 1: we had one that wasn't. But it doesn't make he
Speaker 1: went to medical school, right, It doesn't make our old
Speaker 1: neighborhood any We had one. We had one that got out,
Speaker 1: one that got out. Yeah, I would like to think
Speaker 1: that I got out. But my point is it doesn't. Well,
Speaker 1: every town has their hero and heroes. It just so happens.
Speaker 1: One of the most prominent talked about and important heroes
Speaker 1: of the day right now is Dr Anthony Faucci. And
Speaker 1: so I am proud that he's from Brooklyn. Am I
Speaker 1: trying to lay claim or get credit? Non associated? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you think, Well, I'm more proud of
Speaker 1: him for getting out and doing this. Well, Um, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't It doesn't change my You know, people are
Speaker 1: gonna go, oh, you grew up in Bens and you
Speaker 1: grew up in a better area now because Dr Faucci
Speaker 1: lived there, I didn't know Dr Fauci. I didn't help
Speaker 1: him with if I helped him with his tests, he's
Speaker 1: much older than we are. But if I helped him graduate,
Speaker 1: or you know, I did better than you can if
Speaker 1: we went to school together and I had better grades
Speaker 1: than him, well, first of all, it made me look
Speaker 1: smarter than him at the time, or at least better
Speaker 1: at taking tests. But then it makes me look like
Speaker 1: a bigger failure if for not doing as well as
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci. So anyway, let's move on from Fauci. But yes,
Speaker 1: he's from our neighborhood. Yes, so, so there was a
Speaker 1: reason why you brought his name up. Uh yeah, just
Speaker 1: the whole thing about the you know, people giving advice
Speaker 1: and telling you what to do and how to be safe. Look,
Speaker 1: if you wanna um, if you want to tell people, hey,
Speaker 1: you should wear a mask because it has these benefits
Speaker 1: to it, that's fine. But don't you know I see
Speaker 1: people posting on everybody's pictures. If you put up a
Speaker 1: picture of you wearing a mask, people, I see it
Speaker 1: on social media. Oh, you shouldn't be doing that. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. Look, you should not be wearing
Speaker 1: an N nine mask because those could be donated to
Speaker 1: the hospitals where the first responders and medical staff have
Speaker 1: a shortage now, even though millions are being made and shipped,
Speaker 1: and we just got planeloads from Russia and and the
Speaker 1: government is shipping to the States, and I know that
Speaker 1: they're being supplied. But the average person doesn't need an
Speaker 1: N nine mask. So if you if you have one,
Speaker 1: hold on, I know where you're going. If you have
Speaker 1: an N ninety five mask, you're only supposed to in
Speaker 1: theory have one if you are medical professionals or if
Speaker 1: you are a primary care primary caregiver. So if you're
Speaker 1: taking care of your mom or dad would cancer and
Speaker 1: you have to doubly protect yourself and them, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to have them. But if you have a regular mask.
Speaker 1: By the way, my my, my youngest learned how to sew.
Speaker 1: We have a song machine that we have. Nobody's touched
Speaker 1: it in at least at least a decade. Uh down downstairs, right,
Speaker 1: my daughter decided she was going to watch a YouTube
Speaker 1: video on how so she did and now she's sewing
Speaker 1: masks for all of us. So shout out to my God.
Speaker 1: So I have a cool. So what we did was
Speaker 1: we took clothing that we weren't wearing anymore. Um, that
Speaker 1: was the right thickness. And she's just cutting up shirts
Speaker 1: and leggings, um and making really nice patterned masks for
Speaker 1: us so that we can wear them and rotate them
Speaker 1: and wash them and and that's awesome. So thank you YouTube,
Speaker 1: Thank you my kid. Yesterday's clothing is tomorrow's mask, that's right.
Speaker 1: And this is not clothing that we would have donated
Speaker 1: to uh clothing shelters that need clothing. This is ripped up, old,
Speaker 1: bleached stained stuff that we had that there were good
Speaker 1: spots of that to cut around and make masks. Because
Speaker 1: you know, UM, a lot of these trades and things
Speaker 1: that were forgotten about back in the twenties and thirties
Speaker 1: are now coming back to light. And a lot of
Speaker 1: things that kids kids are picking up on things that
Speaker 1: are we're considered antiquated even as recent as a month
Speaker 1: and a half ago, like like like sewing, like like
Speaker 1: kids aren't, but now they have the time to do it,
Speaker 1: and they're incentivized to do it. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: sidewalk chalk. That's made a huge comeback. People are remember
Speaker 1: when we were kids, we used to buy those big
Speaker 1: bricks of the big thick chalking and and write all
Speaker 1: those paths. I mean, chalk wasn't you know, hasn't been
Speaker 1: like in but now it's back because kids are looking
Speaker 1: for stuff to do, you know, outside, I mean aside
Speaker 1: when you get sick of playing Fortnite or Call of
Speaker 1: Duty or whatever you're playing in the video game world
Speaker 1: and you want to get some fresh air. You've got
Speaker 1: stuff you can actually, like ride a bike, learn to
Speaker 1: get on a skateboard, which I already agreed I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do. But like you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: you're you're discovering other things because in ASP until about
Speaker 1: a month ago, people were complaining they can't up. What
Speaker 1: are you laughing at? Fing it your so far it
Speaker 1: sounds like about three minutes of you explaining kids and
Speaker 1: what the kids are in though these days. So although
Speaker 1: why listen After you're done making TikTok dances and doing
Speaker 1: coordinated ship in choreography and you're on house party or
Speaker 1: playing video games, at some point your eyeballs need to
Speaker 1: take come away from the digital screen. And kids are
Speaker 1: rediscovering the outside. It was always up until about a month,
Speaker 1: even as recent as again about a month or two
Speaker 1: months ago, discovering the outside. No, they're discovering playing and
Speaker 1: and doing creative things and making arts and crafts. Those
Speaker 1: are things that just are required by school sometimes but
Speaker 1: not every kid is into it. But now they're. It's
Speaker 1: kind of making this crazy comeback during this pandemic. Don't
Speaker 1: you agree there's been a resurgence. I wondering what you're
Speaker 1: basing the auds and crafts thing on. Are you going
Speaker 1: to kids houses? What do you do? You see, you
Speaker 1: see pictures online, you see you see videos, you see
Speaker 1: people making things again. You said your daughter is It
Speaker 1: got me thinking that your daughter is now sewing. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you when would she have ever taken
Speaker 1: up sewing under any other circumstance? Probably not, probably not
Speaker 1: so they I'm just making a point tomorrow. We've always complained,
Speaker 1: why don't these kids get outside? Why don't they do
Speaker 1: what we did back growing up in the eighties and
Speaker 1: the you know, seventies and the eighties and the nineties.
Speaker 1: She's gonna make you know what you think about that there? Now,
Speaker 1: these things are. She's gonna make me a leather belt tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. Is she really no? Is she gonna
Speaker 1: is she gonna get uh straight from the cow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're growing our own we're growing our own food now
Speaker 1: out back. So it's good. So you made a mention
Speaker 1: of people wearing masks. You're gonna Are you gonna tell
Speaker 1: this story for the fourth time because you've already done
Speaker 1: it in around the room on the Big Show three times? No,
Speaker 1: I want to skip it. I hate to shoot on you,
Speaker 1: but you have told the you got yelled at for
Speaker 1: wearing a mask story a couple of times on air.
Speaker 1: But if you want to give the short version, but
Speaker 1: I haven maybe people don't listen, Okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know what, No, no no, no, I'm not gonna even
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there, just no, no go there,
Speaker 1: go no skip it, skip it. They may have. They
Speaker 1: may have missed it on the Big Show. It's fine, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: people listen to the Big Show first. And if I've
Speaker 1: talked about stuff, and you know, we had a huge
Speaker 1: conversation about it. Scary Scary was in a store and
Speaker 1: he was wearing a mask from Scotty B from our
Speaker 1: Morning show that Scotty had from when construction workers were
Speaker 1: in his house years ago. They left them so he
Speaker 1: put them aside, like, oh, who knows, I may do construction,
Speaker 1: as if Scotty would ever do construction. So they're like
Speaker 1: eight year old masks or something, And so he brought
Speaker 1: them into work for people who are coming to work
Speaker 1: to wear the masks at work and to have they
Speaker 1: are not it's the medical professional level, and nor are
Speaker 1: they usable after eight years of dust in them. Really
Speaker 1: scary's wearing them as a last resort. But what happens
Speaker 1: and in mask, which it looks like, I mean it is,
Speaker 1: it is they qualified mask that they say that only
Speaker 1: the professionals in the medical field should be used. And
Speaker 1: it is also the only mask that I have. I'm
Speaker 1: not making a bend, you know, I'm not like, you know,
Speaker 1: wearing a bandana or a scarf around my neck. This
Speaker 1: is the only mask that I physically have. So I'm
Speaker 1: now embarrassed to wear it because people have already approached
Speaker 1: me and said, you know, you know, you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to be wearing that unless you're a medical professional. You know,
Speaker 1: that does really go to the hospital, which is technically
Speaker 1: absolutely correct, which is technically under normal circumstances. But the
Speaker 1: thing is, if I have to should I choose nothing
Speaker 1: to protect my face, or should you know, Like, why
Speaker 1: should I be shamed? You know, it's like my health
Speaker 1: is important too. You know that that's the thing. And
Speaker 1: they don't know the history of this mask. They also know,
Speaker 1: just just for the sake of conversation, if they see
Speaker 1: you at Whole Foods or wherever you are shopping for food,
Speaker 1: that's where it was. They don't know you're not a
Speaker 1: doctor or a nurse. They don't know that I could
Speaker 1: be on my lunch hour. So I'm not saying lie.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, for the sake of conversation, you could
Speaker 1: have said, excuse me, I'm a doctor or nurse. Now,
Speaker 1: I would never lie about such a thing. No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you could have. I wouldn't, especially nowadays. God forbid,
Speaker 1: someone hears you say you're a doctor and then there's
Speaker 1: a medical emergency and you can't help because you're you lied.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you you could have just said, or
Speaker 1: I'm a primary caregiver for someone who's sick, and that's
Speaker 1: why I have it for medical reasons. So look, people
Speaker 1: are protective of our of our doctors and nurses. I
Speaker 1: get that. Um, so I I don't blame them for
Speaker 1: making mention of it. I'm just saying, you never know
Speaker 1: who you're talking to. They may be a medical professional.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like, in my opinion, mind your business.
Speaker 1: That's a little well no, but really, but who are
Speaker 1: these people to come up to me and say these things? Well,
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, like like you don't know, you don't
Speaker 1: know anything about me, so they don't. They don't make
Speaker 1: me feel like because now again I said this on
Speaker 1: the Big Show, I'll say it again. I feel mask
Speaker 1: shamed because it's the only thing that I own and
Speaker 1: and now I don't want. Now I'd rather now go
Speaker 1: out without it than to have to be given the
Speaker 1: third degree of everybody had come up to and you
Speaker 1: know should I You know Gandhi from our show is saying,
Speaker 1: I want to just write a big marker this is
Speaker 1: a used mask. Well, it's clearly a used mask because
Speaker 1: you're wearing it. I don't think that would help. But
Speaker 1: this is an old mask from a construction project long ago.
Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, you could say it's a mask or whatever,
Speaker 1: how old it is. I will say I want to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to the guy in my aisle
Speaker 1: at CVS. I want to give a special a special
Speaker 1: shout out to the guy in my aisle at CVS.
Speaker 1: I sent some sarcasm. Oh there's sarcasm, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: when you wear a mask, people can't always tell you
Speaker 1: being sarcastic, so you have to use hand gestures because
Speaker 1: people don't know. They can't see the smile on your
Speaker 1: face or the smirk. So that's the only downside of
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. So I go to CVS. No, look,
Speaker 1: I know, I've been going to Walgreens for prescriptions, but
Speaker 1: I was at CVS to buy a couple of how
Speaker 1: to get allergy medicine, and it's closer to my house,
Speaker 1: and so there's probably six or seven people shopping in
Speaker 1: the store. The cashier has a plexiglass coming down from
Speaker 1: the ceiling, so now you can only slide things under
Speaker 1: the plexiglass. There are fold up tables in front of
Speaker 1: the counter to keep you away from the cashier by
Speaker 1: an additional three or four ft for the width of
Speaker 1: the table. There's lines on the floor with red tape
Speaker 1: so that when you're online you social distance from people.
Speaker 1: So the CVS is doing their part. God bless you. CVS.
Speaker 1: So I'm on the left side of the store and
Speaker 1: I have to get to the center of the store
Speaker 1: to get online. So I go to go down an
Speaker 1: aisle and I see there's a woman in the aisle.
Speaker 1: So I back out of the aisle because she's not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask, and I am regardless of whether that's
Speaker 1: gonna protect me not protect me. Things can get in
Speaker 1: your eyes. Masks aren't perfect. I decided to go down
Speaker 1: the next stile. There's no one in that aisle. Excellent,
Speaker 1: it's the toilet paper empty shelf aisle. So who's gonna
Speaker 1: go down that aisle? The shelves are empty. I walked
Speaker 1: down the aisle. I'm now about through the aisle. A
Speaker 1: guy with no mask and no gloves turns the corner,
Speaker 1: looks in the aisle, sees me and decides to enter
Speaker 1: the aisle anyway and walk past me about a foot away. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not paranoid, but there are social distance rules. Well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. The guy could have taken
Speaker 1: a step back, Like when you get off an elevator,
Speaker 1: you step to the side, you let the person come
Speaker 1: out of the aisle. Understood. If you don't believe in
Speaker 1: this crap. It's not. So you're saying the social distancing
Speaker 1: of the six feet, you can't even have a one
Speaker 1: and a half second brush within a foot of somebody
Speaker 1: as people are walking past each other, because that's happened
Speaker 1: on a number of occasions in the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks to me, and I just let it go because
Speaker 1: to me, the six ft rule is six ft if
Speaker 1: you're gonna hover and hang out and have a conversation.
Speaker 1: But if I have to walk past you and I'm
Speaker 1: two feet away, is that not permissible now? Because I
Speaker 1: might have it. It's permissible if it's like a quick
Speaker 1: walk by, right, Not that they have the exact science
Speaker 1: on every single thing that can happen, but they're saying
Speaker 1: now that, um, you can uh if there's any spittle
Speaker 1: or if he sniffles out or a cough. Spittle was
Speaker 1: my favorite board game growing up. Absolutely My point is,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to make this a coronavirus podcast,
Speaker 1: but my point is not knowing if I'm gonna cough,
Speaker 1: he's gonna cough, just wait three seconds till I come
Speaker 1: out of the aisle. That's all I'm asking. And then
Speaker 1: I so like, so fuck you I'll guy, and then
Speaker 1: I get online on my red tape, and a guy
Speaker 1: and his a girl get online behind me, not wearing
Speaker 1: any equipment, probably in their twenties, acting like they didn't
Speaker 1: give a ship what was going on in the world,
Speaker 1: and they didn't notice the tape on the floor. And
Speaker 1: now they're like two and a half feet behind me
Speaker 1: having a conversation. So I'm second in line. The woman
Speaker 1: in front of me is an older woman, probably in
Speaker 1: her seventies at least, with a mask on and gloves
Speaker 1: at the register, so I move up a little bit,
Speaker 1: knowing that she's mostly protected, so I will be away
Speaker 1: from Mr and Mrs fuck Face who don't care about
Speaker 1: me on the CVS aile. So then the woman turns
Speaker 1: around and looks at me like, hey, I want my
Speaker 1: six feet. So I turned around, I look at I
Speaker 1: give it an old head nod like, hey, look at them.
Speaker 1: I don't have my six ft so I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to take away one of your feet, So give me
Speaker 1: five ft as opposed to them being two and a
Speaker 1: half feet. So people are being inconsiderate, and I don't
Speaker 1: think the message is getting out to everyone, which is
Speaker 1: why I want to rant about people who think the
Speaker 1: world revolves around them. So someone from a fan group
Speaker 1: that I'm in, so it's people I don't know, right,
Speaker 1: posted a video of a nurse. The nurse was I
Speaker 1: think for Michigan, and she was talking about how horrible
Speaker 1: the situation is in the in the in the er
Speaker 1: and how they don't have enough equipment. Whatever it was.
Speaker 1: It was a gut wrenching video and it was clearly
Speaker 1: labeled what it was, and it was really to get
Speaker 1: the message across. This was posted I don't know about
Speaker 1: a week ago that nurses need we that that nurses
Speaker 1: and doctors need more medical equipment, more ppe um. And
Speaker 1: so she was imploring people to understand it's worse than
Speaker 1: we think, right right. So most of the comments were
Speaker 1: thank you for posting this, Please thank that woman? How
Speaker 1: can I thank that woman? What a great woman? Whatever
Speaker 1: One person wrote, please don't post videos like this. I
Speaker 1: am already nervous enough. I have old people in my
Speaker 1: family and I don't need to be scared more than
Speaker 1: I already am. Everyone knows to take this seriously. We
Speaker 1: don't need to be reminded to take it serious, Like, so,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that? Before I tell you
Speaker 1: what I wrote to this woman. Well, they shouldn't follow you,
Speaker 1: or shouldn't follow the feed, or just turned it off
Speaker 1: or just switch off of it. You don't. They don't
Speaker 1: have a right to tell you what to post it.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. If you were doing, I didn't
Speaker 1: post it. It It was in there. But I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: for you or anyone else, I don't feel that people
Speaker 1: have a right to have jurisdiction over content. You don't
Speaker 1: like it, move on, I mean you don't. Don't watch
Speaker 1: the video. The video is clearly late, but it's there.
Speaker 1: Don't hit play or if you if if you accidentally
Speaker 1: hit play on something you don't like, you stop it.
Speaker 1: Just stop it. But here's here's the other problem. We
Speaker 1: already know if you watch the news, if you pay
Speaker 1: any attention to what's going on in the entire country,
Speaker 1: at least a third, if not more, of the people
Speaker 1: in our country are not taking it seriously. There are
Speaker 1: still eight states that have not shut down their states
Speaker 1: yet there are still there are still did you see
Speaker 1: the article about the kids that went to spring break
Speaker 1: in Mexico? Uh said, Indie kids charted a private jet
Speaker 1: or whatever, a plane to Mexico for spring break forty
Speaker 1: four and and they posted ha ha coronavirus ha ha
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Forty four of them are sick and
Speaker 1: some of them are in intensive care. So not everyone
Speaker 1: is getting it. People are still breaking the law, having weddings,
Speaker 1: you know, getting together. So if we can post a
Speaker 1: video that reminds people to be safe, to be careful,
Speaker 1: maybe a save one life, but to this woman to
Speaker 1: be like, I don't need this kind of negative everybody.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows, not everybody knows, and don't watch the video,
Speaker 1: but if you want to watch, if you want to
Speaker 1: watch an uplifting video, go on Twitter and search f
Speaker 1: d n Y and the words salute because yesterday in
Speaker 1: New York and it brought tears to my eyes. I
Speaker 1: love my city so much. And I'm sure this goes
Speaker 1: around all over the country, but this was in particular
Speaker 1: New York yesterday because we are, unfortunately the epicenter of
Speaker 1: tragedy right now. Fire trucks lined up outside hospitals and
Speaker 1: all of the firefighters, all of the firefighters got out
Speaker 1: of their trucks yea to applaud the nurses getting off
Speaker 1: their shifts and the doctors. Yeah, I clicked that link
Speaker 1: and I and it was very it was really it
Speaker 1: was very, very, very touching. Um. It reminds me of
Speaker 1: when people were clapping for the firefighters after night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said the same thing. And I don't know, um,
Speaker 1: if anyone not from the New York area can fully understand,
Speaker 1: because if you weren't here for nine eleven, are alive
Speaker 1: or old enough. Um, the feeling that people had, Like
Speaker 1: people still take pictures in front of firefighters, in front
Speaker 1: of the firehouses and stuff. But people were applauding them
Speaker 1: walking down the street, cheering for the fire trucks as
Speaker 1: they drove around around town, cheering for police officers, people
Speaker 1: that you know. And so those people are now cheering
Speaker 1: the next wave of New York heroes and the heroes
Speaker 1: all over the country. Of course, why do you did
Speaker 1: have to take a global pandemic for that to happen,
Speaker 1: because you know, you had this, you know whether the
Speaker 1: thing is gonna wait. When it was we were in
Speaker 1: going through nine eleven, we always said, in the days
Speaker 1: that passed, God, we want to capture these moments because
Speaker 1: everyone's treating each other so well. And then and then
Speaker 1: slowly we fell off again, and then we had you know,
Speaker 1: Hurricane Sandy. We came together for that in two thousand
Speaker 1: and twelve, I think it was. And you know, and uh,
Speaker 1: why why do we have to have these It's like
Speaker 1: bringing back bring you know, coming back to reality. That's
Speaker 1: just it's human nature. On my point, my point was
Speaker 1: there some really good stories coming out of this tragedy. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, the fact that China just sent a
Speaker 1: thousand ventilators to New York. The fact that yesterday Russia
Speaker 1: sent sixty tons of medical supplies to New York. The
Speaker 1: fact that the governor of Oregon just sent the hundred
Speaker 1: and forty ventilators to New York because he's the fact
Speaker 1: that the New England Patriots, oh my god, huge trailer
Speaker 1: and you know that the New York Boston rival that
Speaker 1: goes on if if you're not from this part of
Speaker 1: the country, it's insane. They have attracted trailer with the masks.
Speaker 1: So Robert Craft, famous the owner of the Patriots, famous
Speaker 1: for getting a handy in Florida, Uh last year he
Speaker 1: was arrested. Yeah. And you know, as a New Yorker,
Speaker 1: you know, you you hate the Patriots. You hate because
Speaker 1: you're probably a Jets fan, you hate them. If you're
Speaker 1: a Giants fan, you don't necessarily hate them because you
Speaker 1: beat him twice in the Super Bowl. But as a
Speaker 1: Jets fan, you hate the Patriots. That's just the way
Speaker 1: it goes. And as a Yankee fan you hate the
Speaker 1: Red Sox so Boston. You know there's a sports rivalry. However,
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, the owner UH, flew the Patriots team plane,
Speaker 1: which is not a private jet, it's a full size airplane.
Speaker 1: UM paid two million dollars out of his own pocket
Speaker 1: and flew the plane to Russia, to China rather to
Speaker 1: pick up supplies UH and fly them back here, and
Speaker 1: then sent a large percentage of it, I think three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand surgical masks to New York. UM. So I
Speaker 1: get to hate the Patriots a little bit less. It
Speaker 1: was crazy to be the cover of the New York
Speaker 1: Post about this giant tractor trailer with the New York
Speaker 1: New England Patriots logo and blazoned on it. Yeah with
Speaker 1: three it's like and almost like everyone was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is awesome. These are the times, you know. I
Speaker 1: do think though, that we have to remember these now
Speaker 1: and then just maybe a year from now look back
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't want to get all uh,
Speaker 1: this isn't the kind of again when it's not the
Speaker 1: kind of podcast we wanted to do to No, No,
Speaker 1: it's but but you know, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But like, let's not forget these moments. Yeah. But also
Speaker 1: while we're talking about these moments, we talked about this
Speaker 1: last week about every occupation wants to be shouted out
Speaker 1: for the heroism. Yeah. I still say it's great that
Speaker 1: some people are going to work, um, but nothing in
Speaker 1: my mind compares to the medical staff that's risking their
Speaker 1: lives because if you watch the news, a lot of
Speaker 1: them are getting sick. A lot of them are now
Speaker 1: victims of the illness they're trying to fight. And so
Speaker 1: we got more of them at work this week, more
Speaker 1: text messages of people doing their jobs and then coming
Speaker 1: up with exotic explanations as to why they should be
Speaker 1: shouted out for being heroes in this time of of
Speaker 1: of tragedy. Um. And we shouted a bunch of them
Speaker 1: out last week, but there were too in particular. And again,
Speaker 1: if you do this for a living, I respect you,
Speaker 1: we need you, but I don't think you rise to
Speaker 1: the level of doctors and nurses right now, and and
Speaker 1: and all people in the medical field, and people serving
Speaker 1: food and so so if I can, I just want
Speaker 1: to tell you that um exterminator, an exterminator shouted. I
Speaker 1: wanted to shout out to thank all the exterminators because
Speaker 1: bugs carry germs and they are fighting back the germs
Speaker 1: at bug spread. Yeah, okay, all right. The other one
Speaker 1: was swimming pool professionals wanted a shout out because because
Speaker 1: because now I don't know if this was serious or not,
Speaker 1: but they're putting that they're the ones who put in
Speaker 1: the chemicals in the pool that kill the viruses in
Speaker 1: your pool. They want shoutouts. They're doing they're doing the
Speaker 1: right thing. They're gonna keep us protected all summer long.
Speaker 1: I feel like you, you guys killed bacteria in the
Speaker 1: pool all year round. But I don't know if that
Speaker 1: rises to the level of the COVID nineteen epido. Oh
Speaker 1: they think it does, so, so I'm just again thank
Speaker 1: you for doing your job. But I don't feel like
Speaker 1: it's shout out level. If that's okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. In fact, this this podcast,
Speaker 1: we're only going to have one break just gonna be
Speaker 1: a little longer, and that's what we're gonna do. Really,
Speaker 1: We're gonna jam all the commercials in right here, and
Speaker 1: then we don't take another break for the rest of
Speaker 1: the podcast. I don't think you can do that. We can.
Speaker 1: I physically can do that. I can do whatever the
Speaker 1: hell I want to do. All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this, okay, alright, alright, So
Speaker 1: I got a couple of little things I wanted to hit.
Speaker 1: You have those sound clips for me I should do
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm a big fan of Stephen Colbert
Speaker 1: loved the man to death. All of the late night
Speaker 1: talk shows have returned in except James Cordon I don't
Speaker 1: think has come back. He hasn't. But Colbert and Fallon
Speaker 1: and Seth Myers and Jimmy Kimmel are doing shows from home.
Speaker 1: Bill Maher did a show last night from home, and
Speaker 1: they're doing their best. But some of them are doing
Speaker 1: the uh the show from home and then either playing
Speaker 1: uh partial old shows at the end, like when they
Speaker 1: run out of new material, or sometimes they've got footage
Speaker 1: that never air and they want to air it now
Speaker 1: because they're struggling for footage. Sometimes they recorded stuff with
Speaker 1: the web. So this first clip, I like, I do
Speaker 1: love Jimmy Fallon from his house with his kids. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: So I'm watching all of it because you know, you're
Speaker 1: in the house, so there's plenty to watch. So Jimmy
Speaker 1: at Home edition. Stephen Colbert is calling his show A
Speaker 1: Late Night with Stephen Colbert a late night show because
Speaker 1: it's not really the late night show. Um. Anyway, so
Speaker 1: he uh, he played a clip of a song he
Speaker 1: sang with a singer I believe named John Prine p
Speaker 1: R I n E. Who right now at the time
Speaker 1: of the recording. I hope he's okay, but he's an
Speaker 1: older gentleman, probably around eighty, and he was fighting coronavirus.
Speaker 1: I don't know the update. You don't have to tweet me.
Speaker 1: I'll look it up. But he had a clip that
Speaker 1: that he sang a song with him that was a fun,
Speaker 1: upbeat song. Look it up on YouTube. Um. But he
Speaker 1: prefaced it by telling the man, Hey, we're gonna record
Speaker 1: this now. It's a bonus song. It'll be just for
Speaker 1: the web. But I want you to hear what he said.
Speaker 1: This was from two thousand sixteen. I believe. Listen to
Speaker 1: the song introduction of what he said in this clip.
Speaker 1: I would be so honored if I could do a
Speaker 1: song with you tonight. Would that be all right? I
Speaker 1: think be great? Okay, good, We'll probably do this for
Speaker 1: the internet, unless you know, something terrible happens and we
Speaker 1: have to cheer up the world on the TV show
Speaker 1: A right, So how about that? How about that? That
Speaker 1: was four years ago? Um, And you know, when you
Speaker 1: do things, you never know what the world's gonna be,
Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. And so four
Speaker 1: years ago he said, oh, you know, we'll play it
Speaker 1: if something terrible happens, and unfortunately, something terrible happened, not
Speaker 1: only to the world but to John Prine. So that
Speaker 1: was one clip. Now a minute ago, I said, don't
Speaker 1: tweet me. I'm not saying he stole this from me,
Speaker 1: but um, Daniel Radcliffe was on Colbert Harry Potter in
Speaker 1: case you didn't know, and he was showing him that
Speaker 1: one of the things he's doing while he's in confinement
Speaker 1: at home quarantine is he's learning to put uh, he's
Speaker 1: learn he's doing massive lego projects and so one of
Speaker 1: the projects he did was a Jurassic Park Lego project.
Speaker 1: You can go watch it on on YouTube. And he
Speaker 1: built the big doors, the big gates that open to
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park in the movies out of lego pieces, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure was a kid he put together, not like
Speaker 1: he just took miscellaneous pieces and figured it out. And
Speaker 1: so Colbert says to him, do you have a t Rex?
Speaker 1: Did you build a t rex out of lego? Right?
Speaker 1: And so he says yes, and he opens the doors
Speaker 1: of the lego and there's a t rex back there,
Speaker 1: and so Colbert says, clever girl. Now that is a
Speaker 1: famous quote from the first Jurassic Park movie, and the
Speaker 1: hunter is referring to a velociraptor, not a t rex. So,
Speaker 1: because he was just going for the joke, you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear Colbert correct himself. And although he's spoken over a
Speaker 1: little bit by um Daniel Radcliffe, I want you to
Speaker 1: hear what he says at the end of himself correcting
Speaker 1: what he had said or explaining what he said. So
Speaker 1: play the clip scary you Rex? Yeah, Oh damn, clever girl.
Speaker 1: So that's the raptor. Don't know letters, please, that's fantastic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. So so he said, he goes, I
Speaker 1: know it's a raptor. No emails please, So I thought
Speaker 1: that was I mean, I'm surprised he didn't say, don't
Speaker 1: tweet me, but I guess they get emails or whatever.
Speaker 1: He was going for the joke, and everybody uses, don't
Speaker 1: at me, don't tweet, don't at me, don't I gotta
Speaker 1: kick out of my boy Stephen saying that, because you know,
Speaker 1: people would have immediately jumped on him, and probably I
Speaker 1: would have as well that it was it was a
Speaker 1: raptor in the movie, not a t rex that they
Speaker 1: were making a reference to. So so there you go,
Speaker 1: thanks for playing those two clips for me. Um. What else? Oh,
Speaker 1: I've got Bluetooth drama that I teased last week. Um,
Speaker 1: I want to get to in a couple of minutes
Speaker 1: if we can. Uh. And I also want to talk
Speaker 1: about the eye doctor experience I had yesterday if I can.
Speaker 1: And then these the soda sham at the supermarket where
Speaker 1: people just don't care. So let me tell you about
Speaker 1: the I went to an eye doctor yesterday because I
Speaker 1: had to go for our checkup. But I've been getting
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have the virus let me
Speaker 1: just preface that. Um, all right, every time you every
Speaker 1: time you hit me up and you're like, hey, scary,
Speaker 1: what do you do? What are you doing? I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm doing this. What are you doing? Oh I'm at
Speaker 1: the doctor. I'm doing so I want a couple of
Speaker 1: doctor appointments this week. Um, everyone had masks on, and
Speaker 1: I did a couple of tele teleconferences on the phone, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, video conferences. I'm fine, but I was getting
Speaker 1: headaches for a couple of weeks and they weren't going away,
Speaker 1: and nothing was working. So, you know, I googled, what, dude,
Speaker 1: headaches is one of the symptoms of COVID. It is not.
Speaker 1: It is not. It's not not that what I have not,
Speaker 1: it's not. I already saw my primary care for and
Speaker 1: it's not. I went to an ear nose and throat guy.
Speaker 1: It's not. I don't have it, all right. What I
Speaker 1: have is I said I thought I had a sinus infection,
Speaker 1: and that wasn't it. Because I took sinus medicine. The
Speaker 1: e n T said I don't have a sinus infection.
Speaker 1: So they said, you have one of two things that
Speaker 1: could be the issue. You might have an allergies, which
Speaker 1: I don't normally have. So I had taken allergy medicine
Speaker 1: last week, Claret, and it didn't work. I took afron
Speaker 1: nasal spray that didn't work. And then, um, so I said, well,
Speaker 1: it could be because I'm wearing cheap eyeglasses to read
Speaker 1: the magnification. I just picked one I thought was comfortable,
Speaker 1: and I and and because we're working from home, I'm
Speaker 1: using them on the computer for four hours every morning,
Speaker 1: and on my phone, I'm using them a lot. So
Speaker 1: I thought maybe the wrong prescription could be giving me
Speaker 1: a headache. Right, So I made an appointment, I got
Speaker 1: I got in. It took me about a week, and
Speaker 1: I went there yesterday and they said, oh, can you
Speaker 1: just fill out these forms? So they give me a
Speaker 1: clipboard with five pages they have to fill out, and
Speaker 1: I kid you not, the front size was about eight
Speaker 1: that's small. Why would you give people at an eye
Speaker 1: doctor forms to fill out with a small font unless
Speaker 1: you're trying to increase your business and make everybody feel
Speaker 1: like they're blind. Well that's exactly what they're trying to do,
Speaker 1: trying to make the problem worse. If you better get
Speaker 1: your glass coming in here, if you're gonna get these
Speaker 1: glasses or you know what, now this is gonna be.
Speaker 1: This is what gets them to sail. Absolutely, that's my point.
Speaker 1: I bet you they blurted on purpose too well that
Speaker 1: but that todzy, that's what I was saying. I said,
Speaker 1: I bet you they did a small font. So I
Speaker 1: feel like I better see a doctor or get prescription glasses.
Speaker 1: I said something to the to the optometrist optimologist rather,
Speaker 1: I said, hey, why are your form so small? She's
Speaker 1: I haven't noticed it that they're small? I said, because
Speaker 1: you have good eyes. That's why your eyes are fine.
Speaker 1: I said, why would you make them a font eight
Speaker 1: size or ten whatever? What was small? Trust me was
Speaker 1: small and so so I told her there's a there's
Speaker 1: an old joke about uh. I think it was a
Speaker 1: comedian told the story. I forget. It was about his
Speaker 1: doctor who would deliberately put the photos of his family
Speaker 1: on his desk, so when you would go into his
Speaker 1: office for consult all the pictures will blurry so that
Speaker 1: you'd think your eyes were going bad when you look
Speaker 1: at his family photos. So I think they deliberately make
Speaker 1: the form small so you feel like you have an
Speaker 1: eye problem. That's what I think. Like if you went
Speaker 1: to your doctor, fat laws guy, and you got on
Speaker 1: the scale and they had they had set the scale
Speaker 1: and be ten pounds heavier than it already is, so
Speaker 1: you feel like you're more overweight. That's what I think
Speaker 1: the eye doctor did to me. How about that? How
Speaker 1: about that? What do you think? How about that? I
Speaker 1: think so I think he did that to you. I
Speaker 1: do think that that was on purpose. It has to
Speaker 1: be all right, so I would, But you can't call
Speaker 1: him out on it. You got no proof. I mean, no,
Speaker 1: I can't prove it, but I will tell you. Um,
Speaker 1: I was trying to make a doctor's appointment with another
Speaker 1: type of doctor and um, you know it's difficult now
Speaker 1: because you know everyone's going to the doctor and you know,
Speaker 1: but this is a specialist, right, So I look up
Speaker 1: online for the reviews of the best doctor in the
Speaker 1: area who takes my plan and uh so, so I
Speaker 1: call up the office and the woman says, hey, um,
Speaker 1: I'm the After I talked to her and explain how
Speaker 1: what's wrong with my head and everything, she says, oh,
Speaker 1: I have to transfer you to the woman who does
Speaker 1: the the scheduling. Okay, not a problem. So she transfers
Speaker 1: me and the transfer takes like thirty seconds and then
Speaker 1: the woman picks up. She's can please hold all right?
Speaker 1: Not a problem I would have held while I was
Speaker 1: being transferred. Okay, so she says, um, here's what I'll do.
Speaker 1: Uh can you can you call back and leave a voicemail? Said,
Speaker 1: night called back and leave a voicemail. So she doesn't
Speaker 1: call me back. So oh, okay. So I called back
Speaker 1: a few hours later and I speak to one of
Speaker 1: the women in the office and she says, all right,
Speaker 1: let me transfer to the scheduler. I finally get the
Speaker 1: schedule on the phone. So uh. The woman says to me, great,
Speaker 1: you're a new So I said, I'm a new patient
Speaker 1: and I want to make an appointment. It's okay, just
Speaker 1: give me your give me your your last name and
Speaker 1: your first name. So I say, do you want it
Speaker 1: in that order? She's what do you mean? I said, well,
Speaker 1: you asked me my last name in my first name
Speaker 1: in reverse order, So is that the way you want
Speaker 1: me to give them to you? So she says why what? Why?
Speaker 1: I don't understand. So, like her head's exploding, I said, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to confuse you, I said, but you
Speaker 1: said give me your last name and then your first name,
Speaker 1: So I'll give you my last name. So I give
Speaker 1: her my give her my name. We get that out
Speaker 1: of the way, and she's all right, let me put
Speaker 1: up pull up your chart and she puts me on hold.
Speaker 1: She comes back. I watched it on my phone. Uh
Speaker 1: it was seven minutes later. She says, I'm having trouble
Speaker 1: finding your chart. I said, that's because I told you
Speaker 1: I'm a new patient. Remember I don't have a chart.
Speaker 1: All right. Then there's like dead silence, she says I.
Speaker 1: She says, um, what what's your what's your diagnosis? What's
Speaker 1: the problem? Why why are you calling us? So I said, well,
Speaker 1: I have these severe headaches and my doctors told me
Speaker 1: I should call uh your type of doctor to see
Speaker 1: what's going on. And she says, all right, well, what
Speaker 1: kind of medical insurance do you have? Give the medical insurance? Okay, great,
Speaker 1: give me your phone number, contact information. I give her everything.
Speaker 1: She's okay. Um, So just so you know, Um, because
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen and how busy we are that doctors
Speaker 1: aren't making appointments uh until sixty days from now. So
Speaker 1: I said, well, I need a doctor now, I can't
Speaker 1: wait sixty days. Well, I'm sorry, sir, that's the best
Speaker 1: we can do. So I said, why did you put
Speaker 1: me on hold once, then put me on hold a
Speaker 1: second time, took all of my information and never mentioned
Speaker 1: you even asked my birth date? Why wouldn't you mention
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the call that I couldn't get
Speaker 1: an a pointment for sixty days? And do I still
Speaker 1: want to continue? I don't understand. Why didn't the woman
Speaker 1: this morning when I spoke to her and I asked
Speaker 1: the schedule appointment, why didn't she mention I had to
Speaker 1: wait sixty days? She says, Well, I was trying to
Speaker 1: provide good customer service and get all your information. I said,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to provide good customer service, you might
Speaker 1: have told me up front that you couldn't see me
Speaker 1: for sixty days. Who is in pain and says, oh,
Speaker 1: give me an appointment two months from now. That does
Speaker 1: that make any sense to you? Why wouldn't you tell
Speaker 1: me at the beginning? So, I mean this is because
Speaker 1: I mean you just kind of chalked us up to
Speaker 1: another bad customer service experience. I mean, people don't use
Speaker 1: common sense, and they're certainly not trained properly. Somebody, I mean,
Speaker 1: she had to have had a manager at some point.
Speaker 1: They needed to have gone over what to do, like
Speaker 1: how to how to do this job. And there has
Speaker 1: to be a protocol and asking certain questions and and
Speaker 1: cutting people off at the very beginning. You know, if
Speaker 1: they if they're not going to be able to get
Speaker 1: the appointment they need right away, well it gets worse,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't it It just again, who who are
Speaker 1: these doctors you're going to? It gets no, it's not
Speaker 1: the doctors. So here it gets but who are these
Speaker 1: people you're going to? So the next day, which was Friday,
Speaker 1: But but this person is representative of the doctor work
Speaker 1: in that office. I understand that I could. I completely understand.
Speaker 1: But so the next day the health system so you know,
Speaker 1: some doctors belong to like a group, so like there's
Speaker 1: like a group company that overseas. Like okay, So now
Speaker 1: the next day, the group company woman calls me and
Speaker 1: she says, Hi, I'm calling my bottle of water. Very nice.
Speaker 1: Just hey, Mr Brodie, I'm calling from such and such
Speaker 1: health care system for the area. Uh and um, I'm
Speaker 1: calling to schedule appointment with the doctors. And I said, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: because yesterday I spoke to someone who said they couldn't
Speaker 1: make an appointment for me. Oh no, no, Well that's
Speaker 1: why I'm calling to make you an appointment with you. Great,
Speaker 1: she said, UM, give me your last name and first name.
Speaker 1: I do. She takes all my information again. She's I
Speaker 1: can't find your chart. I said, again, as I mentioned
Speaker 1: to you at the beginning of the call, I'm a
Speaker 1: new patient for this particular practice. No problem, she's, oh,
Speaker 1: I have you in the system, because the health group
Speaker 1: has you in the system. She says, I found I
Speaker 1: She's a I found it, so she found everything. Great.
Speaker 1: So I'm on the phone with her and we're talking
Speaker 1: and I tell what's wrong with me, and she says, oh,
Speaker 1: I have an old phone number for you. Oh, so
Speaker 1: I update my phone number. So now I'm on the
Speaker 1: phone with her a good seven eight nine minutes talking
Speaker 1: about what's bothering me. She's okay, great, Uh, let's make
Speaker 1: an appointment. Great. What day of the week would you
Speaker 1: like your appointment? I said, well, I'm in a lot
Speaker 1: of pain, so you know, uh, Monday would on Monday
Speaker 1: would be Monday would be great, right, like as soon
Speaker 1: as possible? Just okay, great? So just you know, due
Speaker 1: to the COVID nineteen spread, we are sixty days out
Speaker 1: on all appointments, I said, I said, are you evan
Speaker 1: kidding me? In so many words? I said, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: The woman who works for the doctor's office told me
Speaker 1: this yesterday, right, we made a note of it yesterday.
Speaker 1: Now you're calling me because you got my voicemail to
Speaker 1: tell me the exact same thing I was told yesterday.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell me at the beginning he needs
Speaker 1: better assistance? Well, no, Now, the health care said the
Speaker 1: whole the the health group person didn't didn't tell me
Speaker 1: up front. After again, we went through the whole thing again.
Speaker 1: She as well, Sir, we're very busy, I said. I know.
Speaker 1: I understand you're busy. I said, but you can't expect
Speaker 1: me to have a hair cut, a haircut, a headache.
Speaker 1: I I gotta get a haircut too. You can't expect
Speaker 1: me to have a painful headache for sixty days and
Speaker 1: not mention it like that. You gotta tell you that
Speaker 1: the length of this story is giving me a painful headache.
Speaker 1: I apologize. To you in the slices. I just I
Speaker 1: want you to know what I'm going through. I'm not
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm like sitting here. It's like it's more
Speaker 1: of the same. It's the same beat. We get it.
Speaker 1: These people are incompetent. They suck. They suck at their job,
Speaker 1: and they probably should be. I mean, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: who do you complain to it? I talked about the
Speaker 1: health care. You're not gonna get free dessert from the doctor,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. No. I look, I'm not like. I
Speaker 1: know they're overworked. Don't don't get upset. If you're listening.
Speaker 1: I know they're overworked, and it's trusted. I get that.
Speaker 1: All I'm asking is mentioned the important part up front.
Speaker 1: Or you're a smart guy. You you this happened to
Speaker 1: you once, the very next thing you should have done
Speaker 1: the second time you spoke to somebody the next day.
Speaker 1: You should have thought to yourself, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be burned by this situation. I'm gonna ask up front.
Speaker 1: I would have hey, by the way, hi, how are
Speaker 1: you listen? Um? What's your waiting time? And if and
Speaker 1: she would have told you right up front. Sixty days absolutely,
Speaker 1: the conversations going forward. I'm absolutely gonna do that. But
Speaker 1: the way you trust me, the way the phone call
Speaker 1: was phrased, she made it sound like she had an
Speaker 1: appointment for me. She said right away, I'm calling to
Speaker 1: make an appointment for you. So I assumed that meant
Speaker 1: we have appointments. I said to her, I was told
Speaker 1: you had no appointments. Oh no, no, we have appointments.
Speaker 1: I assumed that was good enough. I won't assume again.
Speaker 1: And please don't give me the nineteen seventies. You know
Speaker 1: what happens when you assume. Thank you for the nineteen seventies. Uh,
Speaker 1: I get it. Anyway. Did I mention that Walgreen's no
Speaker 1: longer uses the blue been of Death? Did I mentioned
Speaker 1: that last week? Well you finally won. Yeah, you got
Speaker 1: your Well I got my way twice. I got my
Speaker 1: way with that, and I got my way with Android. Um,
Speaker 1: Android phones have a it's a it does something I
Speaker 1: think a lot of phones and tablets do, which which
Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. And so, about oh, eight
Speaker 1: months ago, maybe about eight nine months ago, almost a year,
Speaker 1: I got a new Android phone, Galaxy Note nine and
Speaker 1: uh SAMs sends a representative to the radio station usually
Speaker 1: a tech guy, not usually an employee of Samsung. Sometimes yes,
Speaker 1: sometimes no. Who will train you on the phone right,
Speaker 1: show you the features and benefits of the new phone,
Speaker 1: so that when you do commercials for the phone, like
Speaker 1: Elvis does, um, we can coherently explain the good parts
Speaker 1: about the phone. So Elvis got a phone, and I
Speaker 1: got a phone as his producer, so I can help
Speaker 1: him with the phone and teach him the phone so
Speaker 1: that he could talk about it on the air and
Speaker 1: also learn the really cool parts of his new phone.
Speaker 1: We both got phones. So I told the guy, you know,
Speaker 1: I love Android, but there's a couple of things I
Speaker 1: think are that they should fix. He said, well, like what.
Speaker 1: I said, Well, what's the I don't want to bother you.
Speaker 1: He said, well, actually no, I'm part of a group
Speaker 1: that meets with the Samsung developers. In fact, in about
Speaker 1: a month, I'm flying to South Korea to meet with
Speaker 1: them to give feedback about what things they can improve on.
Speaker 1: I said, seriously. He said, yeah, So what do you
Speaker 1: think is a problem. I said, well, there's two things
Speaker 1: I think are stupid about Androids. He said, well tell
Speaker 1: me so. Now keep in mind Android phones have been around.
Speaker 1: I think I got my first Android phone in two
Speaker 1: thousand seven or two eight, maybe the droid the original phone. Right,
Speaker 1: So it's not like this is like a been a
Speaker 1: problem for a year. It's been a problem for it
Speaker 1: for for more than ten years, and it's always bothered me.
Speaker 1: When you turn the data off. Let's say you want
Speaker 1: to switch to WiFi and turn the data off. It
Speaker 1: used to give you a message that said, you know
Speaker 1: you're turning your data off and you may not be
Speaker 1: able to access the internet unless you have WiFi. So
Speaker 1: I said to the guy, you know, when I first
Speaker 1: get a phone, if you want to give me that
Speaker 1: message the first couple of times, maybe I'm I'm someone
Speaker 1: who's never had a phone before and they don't know that. Right.
Speaker 1: That's helpful, But once you own the phone for a month,
Speaker 1: do you really need to be reminded every time you
Speaker 1: turn the data off that you're not gonna have data?
Speaker 1: That seems kind of stupid. And then when you turn
Speaker 1: the data on, doesn't really need to tell me that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be charged for my data? That's stupid? He said,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. What else? I said, Well, have you
Speaker 1: ever noticed when a phone is dying and it has
Speaker 1: like one percent left. Right, you run and you plug
Speaker 1: it in. Right, So what did you do? You turn
Speaker 1: the screen off to save battery and you plug the
Speaker 1: charger in. What's the first thing your phone does when
Speaker 1: you plug the charger in the charge it scary? What
Speaker 1: does your phone do? The first thing that happens? The
Speaker 1: first thing I do it it goes. I have an iPhone,
Speaker 1: so I just it just you check to make sure
Speaker 1: the cable is both appears like, okay, I'm not asking
Speaker 1: what happens when the phone is off when you turn
Speaker 1: the screen off, but the phone is on when you
Speaker 1: put the Okay, So I'll tell you what does on
Speaker 1: an Android? The screen The screen lights up, right. What
Speaker 1: is the point of having the screen go back on?
Speaker 1: If my phone is dying and I plugged it in
Speaker 1: to save it, the last thing it should do is
Speaker 1: turn back on. Right. So okay, now you're no, No,
Speaker 1: you're wrong because when you because when you plug your
Speaker 1: phone in, you want the phone to at least acknowledge
Speaker 1: no I that it's being charged. The screen has to
Speaker 1: turn on, and it doesn't because when it does, it
Speaker 1: doesn't because when you plug. That's how it works. When
Speaker 1: you plug in an iPad or an iPhone that's off.
Speaker 1: What happens The lightning bolt comes on and the battery
Speaker 1: logo comes on, right, but the screen and and the
Speaker 1: screen lights up not not if hold on, man, hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about your your phone and iPad when it's off, right,
Speaker 1: the screen turns on in black only to show you
Speaker 1: that it's charging, But it doesn't show you the desktop
Speaker 1: of your phone, the whole phone doesn't come back on.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is when Android used to be. When
Speaker 1: you plug in the phone that was dying, so you
Speaker 1: turned the screen off immediately, the screen would turn on
Speaker 1: at full brightness and come back on. Who cares? It's
Speaker 1: connected at that point. It's connected to it's charging thing.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna die. Tell you why I care? First
Speaker 1: of all, sometimes you have more apps running to do
Speaker 1: with your day. Man, hold on, man, I need you,
Speaker 1: I need you to not miss the point of my conversation.
Speaker 1: You're being a nip pick and prick. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: I'm being I'm just I'm I'm listening to what you're
Speaker 1: saying and taking everything and face value. But the thing
Speaker 1: that you're arguing about, now, did you tell these people
Speaker 1: to do this thing to the developers. Is that what
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me? Telling the guy I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: the guy from that Samsung sent I'm telling him, and
Speaker 1: he said, you're right, that makes no sense. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why it's a big deal. Let's say your phone
Speaker 1: has one or two percent, right. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know this, but if you have enough apps running, right,
Speaker 1: if you're making a phone call, if you've got WiFi
Speaker 1: on or Bluetooth, or if you're watching a video, you
Speaker 1: can use more power then the phone can charge. You're
Speaker 1: you're using the power faster than the phone charges. Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of that, but sometimes right, Okay.
Speaker 1: So let's say got one or two on my phone,
Speaker 1: and in the background, it's getting data, it's downloading emails,
Speaker 1: it's downloading weather, it's updated Twitter, right, okay, Okay, So
Speaker 1: if my ultimate goal is to get the phone back
Speaker 1: up to six so I can take it off the
Speaker 1: charger and make a phone call or run to my car,
Speaker 1: or get off the charger, not be stuck to the charger,
Speaker 1: the last thing I wanted to do is for the
Speaker 1: screen to come back on and for all the apps
Speaker 1: to start kicking in again and everything to start going again.
Speaker 1: The screen uses most of the battery power, so if
Speaker 1: I'm charging Apple doesn't. Okay, yes, says the guy who
Speaker 1: can't use compatibility. What is new multi hundred dollar system
Speaker 1: because you're comparing apples and oranges? No, what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The point of my story scary is not whether you
Speaker 1: think it's a good idea or not. It's the fact that,
Speaker 1: guess what, in the last Android update, it no longer
Speaker 1: gives you the message about data turning off, and it
Speaker 1: no longer turns the phone back on you plug it in.
Speaker 1: That's my point. The point is my two suggestions somehow
Speaker 1: got to Samsung, I believe, and now after ten years,
Speaker 1: the phones don't do that anymore. I won and you
Speaker 1: are not gonna crush my dreams, bitch, I'm gonna. I
Speaker 1: do not think that it would have made a damn
Speaker 1: bit of difference if they left it that way, because
Speaker 1: you know you're gonnare There is no because the phone
Speaker 1: has been in existence and all of its models have
Speaker 1: been for how many years now, and they never had
Speaker 1: a problem with it. If it was a big problem
Speaker 1: to consumers, they would have corrected it years ago. Half
Speaker 1: half percent. If you're in a half a percent and
Speaker 1: you plug the phone in, there is no fucking way
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me that the phone was in risk
Speaker 1: of dying completely after it was connected, just because the
Speaker 1: screen lit up. People are gonna tweet you and tell
Speaker 1: you you're wrong. And I'm not saying I'm not. You're you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be you're wrong, may be wrong for your
Speaker 1: sad song. I don't think so, though, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would make a device that okay,
Speaker 1: that way, I am not would've even released it to market. Scary.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the phone's gonna die automatically. I'm
Speaker 1: saying it's counterproductive. I just I'm only saying it's counterproductive.
Speaker 1: Listen to me. It's counterproductive if you're trying to charge
Speaker 1: a dying phone for the screen to come back on.
Speaker 1: If I want the screen to come back on, I'll
Speaker 1: turn it on. But yeah, but it only comes on temporarily.
Speaker 1: It comes back on for whatever the setting on your phone. Right,
Speaker 1: So then you pressed the side button and shut the
Speaker 1: phone off. Now I don't have to that's my point. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's your point. You've got something done
Speaker 1: that was insignificant. You had this guy's time, you could
Speaker 1: have absolutely made better, better suggestions for the for the phone.
Speaker 1: You you, you, you shot your you, you shoot your shot,
Speaker 1: you shot your load, whatever you want to call it
Speaker 1: on that. I mean, if I had this guy's ear
Speaker 1: and he was an Apple guy, I would have a
Speaker 1: list of ten things that I would want to be doing. Well.
Speaker 1: Your Apple phone is perfect. You just said drop a
Speaker 1: phone is perfect. Other things. I'm trying to tell you,
Speaker 1: I'm pointing out the fact and calling you out that
Speaker 1: what you tried to do for this upgrade was an
Speaker 1: insignificant request when you had a very powerful person in
Speaker 1: front of you that was a decision maker in the process.
Speaker 1: First of all, that's what you wasted on. First of all,
Speaker 1: your shipping over the fact that I got the message
Speaker 1: turned off the annoying message. That's a big deal. Second
Speaker 1: of all, I gave him like ten suggestions, scary. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just those two. I gave him a list of them.
Speaker 1: I rattled off a whole bunch of stuff I thought
Speaker 1: would be would be, would be more helpful inconsequential. I
Speaker 1: just I just think this is completely taking it and
Speaker 1: your your your, your, your your analogy that well, if
Speaker 1: it was a problem, they would have fixed it sooner.
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. Problems don't get fixed till
Speaker 1: someone points it out. Cars didn't have seat belts before.
Speaker 1: What does that mean we didn't need seat belts because
Speaker 1: no one noticed. That's another terrible analogy. This is you're
Speaker 1: talking about you're talking about a phone. You're talking about
Speaker 1: a phone which has been in existence and has had
Speaker 1: so many iterations. Uh, that's not a word, iterations, so
Speaker 1: many iterations of this phone that if it was phone
Speaker 1: one point oh, and it was a problem where you
Speaker 1: plugged it in and the fucking screen get you know,
Speaker 1: shut the fucking phone off and disconnected and it went off,
Speaker 1: they would have fixed it in version one point one.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, it's it sounds like sometimes
Speaker 1: it takes a pioneer like me to be the first
Speaker 1: one to step up and say, you know what, it's nitpicky,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of annoying, which it is. Every time
Speaker 1: I put my phone on the charger, like I want
Speaker 1: to walk away and leave the phone on the charger.
Speaker 1: Why does the screen come back on. It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: So now it doesn't look if the screen is already
Speaker 1: on and I put the charge, how long does it
Speaker 1: take for the screen to come back on. It's immediate, Okay,
Speaker 1: So then it's still in your hands. At that point
Speaker 1: you can just shut it off. It's not if I
Speaker 1: put it down on the counter and plug it in, right,
Speaker 1: I have to then, shot, why do I want to
Speaker 1: shut it off? I wanted it off. It's not like
Speaker 1: the thing that that was phone was trying to trick you,
Speaker 1: brodie where you plugged it in, you walked away, and
Speaker 1: then and seconds later it wakes up. It's like I'm
Speaker 1: still alive. It was. It's right there, the screen comes
Speaker 1: on and there it is. Just shut it off. Done.
Speaker 1: But we don't have that problem with Apple. No, you
Speaker 1: just have no inputs. It lights up, it lights up.
Speaker 1: You have no helphones. Nope, the phone lights up for
Speaker 1: a second. It lights up for a second, and then
Speaker 1: it goes back to bed. Oh so having it go
Speaker 1: back to bed is a good thing. Well, guess my
Speaker 1: phone got that right on the first try. Because they
Speaker 1: stole everything else from Android, every other damn thing that
Speaker 1: iPhone does in the past fifteen uh, fifteen editions of
Speaker 1: iPhone has been stuff they stole from Android. Let's not
Speaker 1: get into that. Let's not get into that. I would
Speaker 1: take a commercial here, but you already took out the
Speaker 1: commercial break. No more. We we did a double commercial break,
Speaker 1: double commercial break. We're already almost out of time. We
Speaker 1: should do some email. Well, I didn't get to the
Speaker 1: Bluetooth ran from last week. Damn it. You want to
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want to do. We're way over,
Speaker 1: are we? Yeah? Yeah, I mean we don't have to.
Speaker 1: We could do whatever you want to do. You know what,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything here in my emails that's
Speaker 1: really important. Can I just uh, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about go ahead for I want to just talk about
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill for a minute, if I can. Mark Hamill,
Speaker 1: who is a brilliant Luke Skywalker and Skywalker himself, is
Speaker 1: a not only a great uh a huge part of
Speaker 1: the Star Wars saga as Luke Skywalker, but he's made
Speaker 1: a fortune in a career of being a voiceover artist.
Speaker 1: He plays the Joker in the Batman cartoons, among other things.
Speaker 1: Very talented guy. I've liked a bunch of his movies
Speaker 1: other than Star Wars like Corvette Summer before you like
Speaker 1: what else you know? Mark Hamill from all right? So
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill is very active on Twitter, and a lot
Speaker 1: of times he tweets things I agree with. So I
Speaker 1: sent out a tweet or I replied to his tweet, uh,
Speaker 1: and I said something nice about him, and he liked
Speaker 1: my tweet. So I took a picture of the tweet
Speaker 1: and I posted it and I said Mark Hamill, and
Speaker 1: I tweeted at him, um at Hamil, mark Hamill himself
Speaker 1: or right, and I said, liked my tweet. Right. So
Speaker 1: then he liked my tweet of the picture of him
Speaker 1: liking my tweet. So I took a picture of that
Speaker 1: and I put it up on you on Twitter, and
Speaker 1: I said, Mark Hamill liked a tweet of me liking
Speaker 1: a tweet of him liking a tweet, and so he
Speaker 1: liked that. So I wrote him a nice note and
Speaker 1: I said, Mark Hamill liked my tweet of a picture
Speaker 1: of me liking his tweet of a picture me liking
Speaker 1: his tweet of a pictures liking my tweet. And this
Speaker 1: one on for over over a week, and each time
Speaker 1: I did it, I had a funny hashtag like return
Speaker 1: of the tweet guy, um luke tweet walker. I was hious, right,
Speaker 1: And this one on for over a week, so it's
Speaker 1: like a it's like a bit that you guys are
Speaker 1: a little funny. You guys have going back. So people
Speaker 1: were his followers, My followers were commenting, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love this. How do I get Mark Camil to
Speaker 1: like my tweet? I like this tweet. I liked the
Speaker 1: tweet that Mark Hama liked, of the tweet that this
Speaker 1: guy liked, of Mark Hama liking the tweet. So they
Speaker 1: were adding onto it. It became like a snowball effect, right,
Speaker 1: this one on for I don't know. It was about
Speaker 1: six tweets, and finally Mark Hamill tweeted, and now I
Speaker 1: have liked your tweet about me liking your tweet about
Speaker 1: liking your tweet about me, liking your tweet about me
Speaker 1: liking your tweet about liking your tweet about me again
Speaker 1: hashtag return of the tweet liking guy. Sure hope my
Speaker 1: job here is done. So he tweeted a recap of
Speaker 1: all of my tweets as they got longer and so
Speaker 1: so of course I liked that tweet and he liked
Speaker 1: me liking to tweet. That's that is awesome. That's the
Speaker 1: story I needed to hear today that had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with coronavirus. Thank you, so thank you, Mark Hamill. Uh.
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker a man from my childhood who gave me
Speaker 1: a really good week of back and forth tweeting uh
Speaker 1: and some laughs uh and a lot of fun. So
Speaker 1: you could have seized the moment, you know, and talked
Speaker 1: about something less inconsequential. Yeah, I like my phone and
Speaker 1: by the way, my android phone named after droids and
Speaker 1: androids from the SAG. It all goes full circle, doesn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: George Lucas had that you should have tweeted. Maybe you
Speaker 1: should have asked him about why is it when you
Speaker 1: plug the phone into the wall, you know what the
Speaker 1: screen lights I bet you Mark Hammell, I bet you
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker when he plugs his lightsaber into recharge, if
Speaker 1: it came back on and cut the counter top and half,
Speaker 1: he would be upset with that as well. So I
Speaker 1: bet he's on my side that challenge. Like it's mail time, Welcome,
Speaker 1: you've got mail? You know, you could always email us
Speaker 1: now that we're really bored at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. Now, I wanted to say one thing.
Speaker 1: If you want to get on this podcast, you must
Speaker 1: you must email us to that email address. I can't
Speaker 1: we can't go screen capture Instagram quotes and things and
Speaker 1: things that you might have asked for back then. You know,
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm saying. You know, like
Speaker 1: like you you you go to another source and then
Speaker 1: I can't. We can't do that. This is where we
Speaker 1: go for our emails. Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: I've got some or say hey, didn't you get my
Speaker 1: my my tweet on like I side tweeted you? Or yeah,
Speaker 1: I know so um, do you want to hear a
Speaker 1: story of free dessert from Dylan? Of course? Dylan hit
Speaker 1: us up. Let's go hit me so, Hey, Brooken Boy's
Speaker 1: name is Dylan. I started from episode zero and I'm
Speaker 1: almost caught up. You guys are the first and only
Speaker 1: podcast I've listened to and I love it. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: an honor. My wife got a keyboard case for her
Speaker 1: iPad on Amazon. The issue with case was that it
Speaker 1: was extremely tight and actually scratched the corners of the iPad.
Speaker 1: We realized this right away. I immediately got in touch
Speaker 1: with Amazon and told them I was not happy. Amazon
Speaker 1: scheduled a UPS pick up so they would come to
Speaker 1: my house and get it. I also got them to
Speaker 1: give a fifteen dollar credit because we were not happy
Speaker 1: with the quality. Anyway. We thought it had scratched her iPad,
Speaker 1: but she was able to Oh, she was able to
Speaker 1: wipe it away. Oh, so it wasn't scratched. Originally, they
Speaker 1: wanted to give us only five dollars, so Amazon discovered
Speaker 1: that anyway, got a supervisor on the phone named Boris,
Speaker 1: who got in touch. I told them that they were
Speaker 1: gonna have to do was give me the fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: like originally promised. This is where the fake dessert came in.
Speaker 1: What they call it fake dessert. We went went to
Speaker 1: use the Amazon credit a couple of days later and
Speaker 1: found out that this credit was only good on items
Speaker 1: sold and shipped by Amazon, which rolled out a large
Speaker 1: number of items on their website. So I found this out,
Speaker 1: got in touch with Amazon. The lady said, uh, can
Speaker 1: I Can I make this a regular universal credit card?
Speaker 1: The crappy fifteen Amazon credit? Wow? So she gave me
Speaker 1: a fifteen dollar Amazon credit card balance on the full account,
Speaker 1: not just for Amazon products. Fuck you Boris, Now, I don't.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. By the way they continue to
Speaker 1: say that I hope everything is safe and you guys
Speaker 1: are looking forward to hearing more of us. I would
Speaker 1: have asked more than fifteen dollars because if you're gonna
Speaker 1: put me through the rigam role of the back and forth,
Speaker 1: and you promised me fifteen and now you're only gonna
Speaker 1: give me five, Now I want what say you, Brodie? Okay?
Speaker 1: So yes, I would want a little more dessert for
Speaker 1: the for the inconvenience. However, did you say that they
Speaker 1: wanted the free dessert because the case scratched her phone
Speaker 1: and then she realized it wasn't a scratch. It was dirt,
Speaker 1: were right, Yeah, they realized it wasn't it wasn't a scratch. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I have to say she got more than she deserved.
Speaker 1: Some well, somebody realized it. No, it sounds like the
Speaker 1: oh no, because and Amazon went to go pick up.
Speaker 1: It sounds like they came. It sounds like Dylan got
Speaker 1: free dessert for nothing, which is doubly free dessert he
Speaker 1: called his fake dessert when they only wanted to give
Speaker 1: him five dollars, but he fake fake dessert. He faked
Speaker 1: the fake dessert. He faked out the fake dessert he
Speaker 1: faked he got so he got free dessert, so he
Speaker 1: should keep his fifteen and run right. He got free
Speaker 1: desserve for something that wasn't even scratched. Now, the case
Speaker 1: was tight. I get that. Who don't like a tight case,
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying. But the point is,
Speaker 1: the point is his phone wasn't scratched, so he probably
Speaker 1: should have gotten just a refund for not like in
Speaker 1: the case there's no damage to the phone. All right,
Speaker 1: So this person doesn't want to be named. So this
Speaker 1: funny sign in Jacksonville, Florida, outside of Chucky Cheese during
Speaker 1: the COVID outbreak. I thought you guys would enjoy this
Speaker 1: um and it's a picture of it, says Pizza Wings.
Speaker 1: The set five dollars d e s s et on
Speaker 1: a handmade sign offering to Zette yea yeah, free Dezette
Speaker 1: to anyone. Love the rants and free dessert stories started
Speaker 1: from zero long time listening to the Big Show too?
Speaker 1: All right, thank you so much, Mr Unknown. Regarding Podcast
Speaker 1: one fifteen, Hey Brooklyn boys, how you guys, doing love
Speaker 1: you listening to you listening to the rant Brodie did
Speaker 1: about being upside down. The reason the ground the whole
Speaker 1: is on top is that why don't you reset that?
Speaker 1: The the outlets for right? Okay? Can I yeah? Yeah, okay. Look,
Speaker 1: we talked about this about four episodes ago, and that
Speaker 1: was over a month, and everyone who was an electrician
Speaker 1: or has ever walked in the home depot has already
Speaker 1: informed and explained what the deal was. The reason why
Speaker 1: Alex are upside down is so so so that if
Speaker 1: something falls straight down the wall and knocks the plug out,
Speaker 1: it'll hit the ground plug first, so you won't electroc
Speaker 1: to burn down the house. We all know that the
Speaker 1: active pieces are the two the left and the right.
Speaker 1: When was that? When was that email? Sent? Just about
Speaker 1: a less than a week ago, So there, they're not
Speaker 1: up to that episode yet. Also, just as a reminder,
Speaker 1: you got a three day window after that. Probably are
Speaker 1: other listeners who are very helpful, probably already told us,
Speaker 1: but we appreciate you letting us know. Thank you. Someone
Speaker 1: said that they were listening to the Big Show and
Speaker 1: they heard a phone caller talking about delivering milk. The caller,
Speaker 1: Gary on the Big Show said white milk and then
Speaker 1: changed it and then said plain milk. So this person
Speaker 1: is wondering. Adam who wrote to us, is wondering if
Speaker 1: Gary listens to the podcast and he's self corrected live
Speaker 1: on the Big Show. Well, if he's self corrected, he
Speaker 1: wouldn't have said plain milk. He would have just said milk, milk.
Speaker 1: But you never know. Melissa Jacobs wrote to our Facebook page, Uh,
Speaker 1: and you can. That's at the Brooklyn Boys, by the way,
Speaker 1: only a small glimpse at me. But I think the
Speaker 1: strawberries must be raw. Wait aren't they supposed to be?
Speaker 1: I love listening to you. What is what is she
Speaker 1: referring to? Here is up? There's a jpeg along with this.
Speaker 1: Oh it's okay. She was inside. It looks like Walmart
Speaker 1: and they were having a rollback dollars seventy eight a
Speaker 1: pound for rawberry. Someone either crushed out the st So
Speaker 1: that's the picture she sent to us that accompanied this email.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the strawberries must be raw. Wait aren't they
Speaker 1: supposed to be? To keep doing what you're doing, slowly
Speaker 1: catching up. Been listening since the summer. I'm on episode
Speaker 1: number sixty two. This COVID nineteen should give me plenty
Speaker 1: of time to catch up at work calling all of
Speaker 1: my clients as I work in medical daycare and I
Speaker 1: need to call them daily to make sure they are okay.
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing what you do, Melissa, can I
Speaker 1: can I jump in so we can alternate a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just want to give a shout out to uh
Speaker 1: Nick x Edge Nicholas Kassoff, who sent a picture of
Speaker 1: an ad. He said, maybe, uh maybe, uh my MAT's
Speaker 1: not good. Maybe I use common Core. So there was
Speaker 1: an ad for a trial for something. It said monthly seven,
Speaker 1: try it fourteen days for free. After that it's fifty
Speaker 1: off is not half of seven? That's true? All right,
Speaker 1: pretty funny. And then, um, this is Devin June. Um,
Speaker 1: it's Steven Gannon on Instagram. D m to me with
Speaker 1: a picture of a pizza place called Stacy's Pizza. Now,
Speaker 1: if you remember back from one of the first ten episodes,
Speaker 1: we talked about how I would not go to a
Speaker 1: Stacy's Pizza because Stacy doesn't sound like she's Italian, she
Speaker 1: doesn't know pizza. I'm not buying her pizza. And then lastly, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I can't get you know what you
Speaker 1: go on. I want to make sure I get proper credit.
Speaker 1: All right, A couple more from Lima David uh Dave,
Speaker 1: David Lima here or Lima Sorry, Hey, guys, I find
Speaker 1: you both equally entertainment taining. First time reaching out, but
Speaker 1: I finally caught up on all the podcast when when
Speaker 1: um starting a few months ago. I was talking with
Speaker 1: a friend the other day trying to remember the name
Speaker 1: of a movie, and mid sentence, I said, I'll look
Speaker 1: it up later and don't tweet me. My friend looked
Speaker 1: at me like I was crazy, looking like I was crazy.
Speaker 1: I blame you guys for that. My mother was born
Speaker 1: in New York and his an Italian and his Italian
Speaker 1: and Jewish hashtag trib and is definitely a free dessert
Speaker 1: kind of woman, if you know what I mean. Quick
Speaker 1: story about that one time she bought a seed this
Speaker 1: watermelon from the supermarket, got home, cut it open, and
Speaker 1: there were seeds. She went back to the store, got
Speaker 1: a refund and new watermelon and made them cut it
Speaker 1: open to show her it was seedless. Hashtag free dessert.
Speaker 1: But that's not free dessert. Even that's even that's even
Speaker 1: that's not free dessert. You gotta get something. She had
Speaker 1: to get to and now if they gave her a
Speaker 1: second watermelon, that's all the way back to get to
Speaker 1: exchange the watermelon. And all they gave her was what
Speaker 1: she paid for originally. That's a free dessert, not free dessert. Well,
Speaker 1: the universe balances out now because that other email you
Speaker 1: read got free deserve for no reason. So okay, I
Speaker 1: found out. Okay, So he is the tweet I got
Speaker 1: from Daniel Dane Shrod He's a Dane s trod d.
Speaker 1: He said, I want to install these lights, but no
Speaker 1: matter how many times I follow the instructions, they never work.
Speaker 1: So scary. See if you can figure out why they
Speaker 1: don't work. Installation guide. Step one, turn off the power switch.
Speaker 1: Step two, install the light in E fourteen or g
Speaker 1: U ten socket or plug into the socket. Step three,
Speaker 1: turn off the power switch. Oh that's a mistake. Well
Speaker 1: that's why they don't work, because they don't work because
Speaker 1: it keeps turning. Turn on. That's right. So step what's
Speaker 1: the first line again? So the first line is turned
Speaker 1: on the power switch. Step two is install the light
Speaker 1: into the turn use it turn on to turn off
Speaker 1: the first step is turned off the power switch. That's
Speaker 1: the problem right there. It's a mistake. No, the problem
Speaker 1: is the third one, the turn You have to turn
Speaker 1: it on and see if the lights work. You turn
Speaker 1: off the power so you don't let you cute yourself.
Speaker 1: Do you screw it in and then you turn it on?
Speaker 1: You turn it on off, turn off the power switches
Speaker 1: right right, right right? That's what I meant. Don't mind me?
Speaker 1: Did you write this? What it sounds like you wrote
Speaker 1: these instructions? The fuck you turn off? Right? Alright? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's kind of an obvious. I have one usual. I
Speaker 1: got one one more email for you, and that's from
Speaker 1: because this next joke is one of my favorite unused
Speaker 1: jokes in Kristen Lokes thinks. Uh we were talking about
Speaker 1: we're talking about the fact that you get a cat,
Speaker 1: and you said I shouldn't. Um. I wanted to say,
Speaker 1: I'm a hun percent team scary, get a cat scary.
Speaker 1: The people who know you best all seem to think
Speaker 1: that you don't like being home and you couldn't give
Speaker 1: the cat the time and affection it would need. Just
Speaker 1: maybe you would love the cats so much you don't
Speaker 1: want to go out that much anymore, and this quarantine
Speaker 1: would be the perfect time to start cat fatherhood and
Speaker 1: adjust before everything goes back to normal. I just had
Speaker 1: to write in because I am annoyed at the discouragement
Speaker 1: you have received on oh not only the Brooklyn Boys
Speaker 1: podcast with Brody and the Big Show, but speaking volumes
Speaker 1: with Share because that's my other podcast that we've talked
Speaker 1: about it there. Again, it's definitely a commitment, and you
Speaker 1: have to be fair to the cat, but I think
Speaker 1: you'd be so happy and love the cat so much.
Speaker 1: You'd be happy to spend a little more time at home,
Speaker 1: and your home would be a more fun place to be.
Speaker 1: I love you both, even though this email is most
Speaker 1: is mostly about scary Thank you, Kristen. Well, obviously, Kristen,
Speaker 1: you don't know me very well, because even with the cat,
Speaker 1: I would I would definitely want opts for going out,
Speaker 1: hanging out with my girlfriend, family friends and going to
Speaker 1: bars and eating and drinking. So I would say, I
Speaker 1: don't know she's trying to say that you I would
Speaker 1: fall in love during this quarantine quarantine period. What do
Speaker 1: you think? I think you would find a way not
Speaker 1: to spend time with the cat, even if you were quarantined,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be home with the cat. That would be
Speaker 1: your reason to go out with your mask. And you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I'm wearing this mask. I got a cat
Speaker 1: at home. No, you are not a cat. You are
Speaker 1: not a uh be in charge of anything else's uh life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you had it right. You shouldn't get a goldfish,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't get an amiba. You should just worry about
Speaker 1: keeping yourself along. In high school, we carried around raw eggs,
Speaker 1: you know, the eggs, pretending like we're trying to raise
Speaker 1: a kid. Yeah, I dropped the egg broke. Let me
Speaker 1: do my one on his youth joke, and let's get
Speaker 1: out of here. Please, it's cold here in my basement. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Gandhi on the Elverstrand Morning Show does the news, right.
Speaker 1: She does a segment called three Things, three things you
Speaker 1: need to know. So she did three stories. I to
Speaker 1: say it was Thursday. Now we are all in a
Speaker 1: chat room. So if I write a joke, everybody sees
Speaker 1: the joke and it's up to whoever wants to use
Speaker 1: it to use the joke. So Gandhi did a story
Speaker 1: about the app Zoom that everybody's using and how it's there.
Speaker 1: It's a there's a class action lawsuit because it was
Speaker 1: selling your information to Facebook. You heard that story scary, Yes,
Speaker 1: I did, okay, and that you know this new app
Speaker 1: it's not new, but people are using it like crazy.
Speaker 1: Is being sued already and it's only been popular for
Speaker 1: like two weeks. And then she did two stories about
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and people dying and uh, just just negative
Speaker 1: stories which you have to do as part of the news.
Speaker 1: I get it. So I wrote this joke, damn Gandhi,
Speaker 1: all the news is zoom and gloom. Now I will
Speaker 1: never get to do that joke again. It's a spoof
Speaker 1: on the term doom and gloom. Obviously I will never
Speaker 1: have a use for that joke. That never be an
Speaker 1: opportunity to use that again. And so I feel like
Speaker 1: a great joke was completely wasted. Sometimes my jokes are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll use it another time, but all the news is
Speaker 1: zoom and gloom. Thank you. I didn't get to use
Speaker 1: it for the guy for the podcast You Know It?
Speaker 1: Where Are We Fun? With Dr Fauci is from Brooklyn
Speaker 1: Boys Brooklyn Brooklyn Boys
