#102 May I Help The Following Guest?

effort to go on any random weekday or weekend. I mean, if you think about it, I spend more time in my car driving to Long Island then I would take me to get to Philly from Manhattan. True story. But whatever, Uh, there's a lot to see there. I have Philly fans represent where the Brooklyn Philly fans, Brooklyn Boy Philly fans come on out. I have a definite complaint regarding not Philly, but Philly cheese steaks. Well terr. Right now, I want to get the name of the food truck. I got

a bone to pick. Oh I don't have. It's not it's not the Big Four, is it? No? No, no, no no, no. Let's see what are they gyms on South Street? Not one of them? Not Pats. It's not Geno's and then there's um Tony Luke's. No it's not. There's a couple that are right there in the in the No, there's a cheese steak South Philly not so great that that I don't don't get as much love. Yeah, that's not about Philly, just it's about cheese steaks in general.

So I was a comic con a couple of weeks ago, and they have when you go underground, there's like a parking area and it's all food trucks, big one of food trucks, and there's a cheese steak food truck. When I go, I'll go to that. I got a cheese steak mhm. And that you could see into the truck. In the back of the guys working in the truck. There are loaves of bread, your typical ten ten Italian breads. Some pem Grinder's song. But as we're from Brooklyn there

he called heroes a chicken palm hero. If you order a hero someplace to go, I mean a sandwich, okay, anyway, all that. So I want a Philly cheese steaks. I order Philly cheese steak, you know, just cheese and meat, no onions and I get the thing, and I'm gonna show you a picture scary because you're gonna be like, what the It was basically chopped meat in a fucking hot dog bun. That's that is paltry, to say the least. So I'm gonna put a picture up on at David

Brody on Instagram. You call that, you call that a cheese steak, and it's not much longer than my thumb. And so it's basically like you know, when you go to a baseball game they charge you nine dollars for a beer. I'm pretty sure they had events sized bread like they went to Comic Con, because they wouldn't be in business if they sold five inch long Philly cheese steak sandwiches. And it was like four a subway it was a six inch sub Yeah, no, it was so so f you to the food truck and I'm looking

for a picture. I didn't take a picture of it. How thought you was at nine bucks? Yeah? Let me see if I have U dollars. You got robbed. I know you got grape soded. I know I got well. I did not steal the grape soda, but um so I want to just say, F you food truck at Jacob Javits Center, your fourteen dollar hot dog bun cheese steak. Well, they do that at all the events. They always they do like a special size for the event, just so they can take off because no one's expecting, like a

real cheese steak. Oh Phil's steak, Phil's Phil. What a rip they did there. It's like supposed to He's supposed to like think it's Phillies, Phillies, or that they fill you know they did they filled up a hot dog bun with chopped up meat. Yeah, so Phil and your event bread fourteen I want I want Phil Phil's truck

to apologize and admit what you did. You probably charged nine dollars for a real film, hoping that people are half buzzed or whatever, and they're like looking at the sign and say, oh, Philly's cheese steak, but you know they glance at it. Yeah, but it's Phil's cheese steaks. Speaking of comic Con, now, if you work at comic Con, if you have a booth, you should know comic books, right, you should know science fiction. You should have somebody how

it started. That's the whole whole thing started that way. But comic con is so much more these days, I know, but there was a not just about comics. So my daughter and I are at one of the booths and they sell superhero pins and T shirts and some other like the miscellaneous scrap. And so this guy is dressed like Kingpin, who's a villain from Daredevil. It's also a movie. Yeah, uh different, not this is the anyway. It's a cartoon

comic book villain. And so what Kingpin looks like. He is a very heavy set man with a white suit, walks with a cane like a gold cane, like jeweled cane, and a fancy game. And he's bald, right, this guy looked like Kingpin. One of the cause played people shopping and the guy who works there goes, hey, what's up Lex Luthor? Now Lex Luthor is a thin, bald guy who's a superman villain from d C Comics. Got the comic company wrong because Kingpin's Marvelie. He just saw a

bald guy. He's like, what's up Lex Luthor. So the guy's like, hey, man, I'm Kingpin. It wasn't like he was a thin king pickle starting a war like a brawl in the in the comic it's like you fucking called me a d C comic character. I'm Marvel, motherfucker. But it's like if you saw a guy dressed in a Star Wars outfit, you're like, oh, and a Star track really nice? You get punched. So you can't work a comic con and not know the difference between Kingpin

and Lex Luthor. I gotta be honest. I sometimes get as the fair weather fan, the everyday Joe, but I get my I get my DC universe mixed up sometimes with Marvel comics. I know Batman is DC, and I know that Superman is d C, and all the rest of the good ones are Marvel. That's it's about, right. Wonder Woman is who Marvel? Nope? DC? I guess you didn't see Justice League. Well you didn't watch Super Friends as a kid, No, I didn't. One more thing Wolverine Marvel.

That's correct. Now, one more complaining about Marvel. That's right. One more thing a complain about comic con. This is not a costume unless you put effort into it. Now, if you saw explain to people, do you have to even dress up if you go to comic con? You don't have to even it's a huge. You need to put even in that sentence. Um, it's a huge festival from city to city. Uh goes to San Francisco, goes major cities. Yes, it doesn't go to Oklahoma City. Okay,

talk to me. Okay, so you don't have to dress up. But if you're going and you want to dress up, people put a lot of effort into their their outfits. They're they're cost but you're not penalized if you don't know. So if you saw Avengers Endgame no spoilers, four puts on some weight, okay, fat thour, he sort of gives up on life, and so they find them in the house wearing like um plaid pajama bottoms and uh like gloves with no fingers and no shirt. And he's just

kind of sitting around being fat, drinking beer. So every guy with a fat stomach when his fat, you know, I like that, right, But there were a couple of guys who actually got like the replica of pants, the replica gloves, had long blonde hair wigs or they had their own real hair. But there were just some guys who just wearing just like pajama bottoms that weren't the ones thow war, and you know they were just fat. That's not a costume. You're like, you're just fat, guy,

You're not fat. Full are your faces in Chris Hemsworth's face and you have to wear long hair, you have to have a wig, and they were just being fat thor that's not a costume. You understand. I'm saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like if you okay, it's okay, it's okay, not getting political, don't tweet me. But if you just have a crazy calmb over, you're not the president. You gotta put a suit on, spray tan yourself, arrange that, have the swirl, right, I said, oh, I have a calm over. Yeah,

and you gotta put an effort into it. We're gonna see a lot of a lot of this on Halloween. Oh yeah, everyone's gonna be the joker. Don't be the joker. That was my thing. The joker unless you are so good, unless you have the real suit and like professional makeup, you got the laugh down. But otherwise, like I need a joker again, a lot of jokers, but it's gonna

be bad jokers. But like a white mask, you're gonna put like a plastic white mask on if anyone's in town in Long Island, I'll be there a jingle ready, I'll get don't say where you're gonna be Gandhi baby Hot Sauce and I are doing an appearance in at a place in Long Island. That's fine, Paco, but not really because people want to come and meet the Brooklyn Boys and they can go to your social media. This is not the place for you to plug your clients. I will make it that way every time, the same

way you can do that for your appearances. Oh wait, you took one, took mine. Someone's speaking of appearances. Oh yeah, that by the way, that's Saturday custom contest to shut up New Hyde Park. Stop it, uh, start up, start up? Brooklyn Boys? Where is it? It was? Hey, scary heard you were going to be at the Land of Illusion in Ohio in Dayton on October. That's the night before the Cape Paco appearance. On the TWI the other jingle when the other jangle because you're reading text messages now,

but the text continues. You don't have to read the text messages to you. Go on right exactly. Well, I'm not getting paid to show up, so yeah, I'll be in dating on we heard everybody knows. But hold on, I'm sure your Instagram. I have a hundred of hundreds and they asked, they asked on so super excited to meet you. And by the way, what's that CBD oil? You recommend go ahead read that? But is there any chance you can being brody with you as well? I

would love to meet both of my Brooklyn boys. That's from Eric code nine three seven, which is also Dayton, Ohio. And the answer to that is, have we talked about the what's the answer? I'm not going what's the answer. You don't get on planes and I get on planes, But I'm not gonna go for free while you're getting paid to go. Who's paying for my ticket? I could you know what we could call we a Brooklyn boy

who actually runs that radio station. The program director, Josh Martinez is a Brooken boy, wants to pay me to fly out there. I go out there. I love Daton, I go out there. That was my next thing. We should call him and say, let's get brody on the plane. Yeah, let's do that. But but you don't like you like plane? Love it? I don't love it. But if I gotta go somewhere fun I'll put up with it. No, if

you're gonna get go get paid, you'll put up with it. No, I'll go for the for the food in the environment, and so didn't come with me? Who I don't have to call Josh. No, I'm not calling for free. I love the money. I have five dollars to go and put up a hotel room and everything. Anyway you like holid haunted houses. No, I didn't tell you about my crazy hunterday. You did not doing it here. I never told you about that. I saw the whole thing on your Instant story, and I'm pretty sure we covered it

last week. You have stick of covered last week. I'm a little leggy. Why are you edgy? Because I looked at the stuff I want to talk about and it's all stuff that irritates me. Well, then let's get down the business. Oh, he's putting his glasses on. I'm putting the monks. I want to because there's something specific. Bifocals are in. I don't wear bifocals, You douche big. Did we talk about the food festival? No, we didn't because it happened after we recorded a podcast. We did the

podcast on Friday, didn't we last week. We did it on Thursday? Did we do it on Thursday? And I'm sorry Wednesday was the yeah we did to about the food we did food Food Festival because we didn't went Wednesday. It was Wednesday, and we went. We did on podcast Thursday, right, okay, but we didn't talk about how you and I went again Friday. And Friday night I went to Burger Bash, which is just BA. This is no longer a client

and they were never a client of arts. Not a sponsor, right, not a sponsor went to Burger Bash, and you on Saturday night went to the type Titans of Barbecue, which, by the way, I would have traded you. I would have went Saturday night. That was awesome. The only complaint I have is it said Titans a barbecue and it was said uh, hosted by, sponsored by, produced by whatever it was. Pat la Frieda someone I don't remember and

Michael Simon. Pat La Frieda, if you don't know, is a legend in meats in New York, New York, a legend of steaks and meats. In the same way Schwide Brothers are down in Miami, South Florida. Anyone has a regional meeting and Michael Simon is one of my favorite celebrity chefs. I've never met him, but I love him on television. I love the way he cooks, I love the way is himself. I love him. So I'm like, this is great. These three guys are gonna be there,

added bonus. Yeah, none of them were there. It was one of those produced by but they didn't show up. They weren't there. Oh no, No, Michael Simon's name was all over the ticket. Yeah, oh yeah, No, No, he wasn't there though. It was like he helped pick the restaurants, but he wasn't there. I was disappointed. It made it look his picture was on the logo, so not to find fault, were confirmed that he wasn't there. Be Yes, I was there the whole time. He was not there.

But it's a big place, Brodie, there's a huge you don't You don't think he would have been on stage when they made the announcements. Hey I'm Michael Simon's bat Lafreda and the other person. Hey thanks for coming out tonight. No, I asked people he wasn't there. So I'm a little disappointed, like to meet Michael Simon, but Titans a barbecue. They were like forty barbecue joints from the Tristate area. And some of them were serving like here's a cracker with

a piece of meat. But most of them were like Bronto Saurus burgers from the Flintstones, big slabs. Now, there was one place I looked on the menu, they don't serve the thing that they gave out that night. It was a I want to say, Korean glazed slab of short rib. Speak to me. That was maybe the greatest piece of meat I've ever eaten. It was um and I took a picture in the sign of the place. I have to call them now and ask him if

they'll make that for me. But they were a giant Colma Hawks steaks, Yeah, those are the those are the great. And then there was other booths that were just yeah, there were places with great names. But then the food was what would they give you? Like? What do they yeah, like a little goos, a little blue cracker, having like like dinner prodies. I listen, when I served dinner, I put out I put out a plat on my friend. Well, let me tell you about the controversy at Burger Bash.

What was the controversy. There's uh. At the end of the night, they vote on the best burger. Everybody who enters Burger Bash, and the must have been over a thousand people there, they get a wooden chip. You get one chip. It's up to the listeners or the eaters, the people walking around to put your chip into the booth. The booths ballot box with the best burger, And at the end of the night they collect all the boxes and whichever box has the most chips, that's the burger

that wins the People's Choice award. All right, well, pig Barbecue, our pig Beach in Brooklyn. One Pig Beach won the best burger for the People's Choice. Not a problem when they had the most chips in their box. However, there were also five judges on stage that were sampling every burger from every booth, and there had to be the critics pick which is the one that gets ultimately gets the trophy. So the trophy goes to the critics pick Brodie.

Do you know what the name of the place was that won the best burger in Burger Bash for the critics pick I'm gonna say no, San Mateo Pizzeria. What that doesn't sound like a burger place exactly. Apparently, if you make burgers, you can enter this Burger Bash and you're qualified. So if you have a booth there, like Shake Shock could have entered five Napkin burg Those burger people that donate dedicated their lives to making burger Burger Burger.

But then San Mateo Coucina, it's called Sanmoteo Coccina, Sanmotheo pizzeria known for their pizza, they also happened to make a burger in their pizzeria and they came to Burger Bash and they fucking won. Well. Critics pick, there's a steakhouse chain which is okay, I don't listen. I gotta tell you it was good. Okay, looks good. There's a steakhouse chain in New York. It's all over the country, but started in New York called the Bomb. I don't know if I talked about this on this podcast you did,

But there there there steak place. But if try the Chicken Palm, it's outrageously good, but you would know that because it's steak place, so you never know. The same goes for Joe Stone Crabs in South Florida. You go there for the Stone Crab. Stone Crab season is happening right now, just opened up like last week. Not a sponsor, but they can send mebe to some stone Crab. That will take some clause. But you go there and there fried chicken is the secret menu it and that is

outrageous and some say are better than the clause. Some people go just for the fried chicken and Joe's. If you're living in South Florida and you know Joe Stone Crab, go get the stone Crabs, but also split an entree of the fried chicken. You will not regret it. It is. It is a thing. It is a thing, all right, just saying all right, I'm hungry now I'm not hungry yet. Who brought that candy in that melted? The Simpsons TV show, Oh,

the Treehouse of Terror ends up every year. They send up a different promo box for for is this number forty six the season the Simpsons Treehouse of Terror number they started? So it's but but yeah, but I noticed all the chocolates melted, and then they gave us some of the some of that candy, which I don't know, man, I just didn't grow up with it, like like pay Day and oh the third tier chocolates and ten thousand dollar grand bars. What is it called it? I don't know.

Is that like a thing for you growing up? Because it wasn't for me. Those were like, those were niche chocolate bars. Those are third I call him third tier, Like they're not your Hershey Bar, You're you're Snickers, They're not your Chunky or your Three Musketeers. They're like, you know what, I'll give you another another one that fits in that third tier. Clark Bars, Clark Clark. And first of all, the name Clark, I don't doesn't make me hungry.

But you have a Clark Bar if you go to Philly, though, they're all about their Charleston chew or that. What is it the really you should know this. You just said they're all about no, no no, no, no, no, the Charleston Chew knockoff. There's a knockoff. It's it's a red and a blue, a red bar in a blue bar. One is the milk chocolate, one is the dark chocolate. It's very chewy. Oh oh oh, don't tweet me, Brood, he's

already looking it up. Anyway. What I'm saying is what could be third tier where we're from in the Northeast could be like, yeah, man, I grew up on nothing but Clark Bars. They were like a thing. Are you what are you googling? Um? What what you do? The words you strung together? Philly, Philadelphia, Charleston chew, knockoff? What is it? And then and you're gonna be like that really didn't rank where we were, But in Philly it's

like a thing. It's like, oh yeah, they have them at every counter there in bite size, econo size, family size. You know, Oh my god, I can't believe I don't know what it is and having a brain fart. I think you may want people to tweet you. Maybe I do. Uh now it's just Charles, I got Charleston chew. Yeah, and then what's the other one? I don't a variety pack Charleston chew? Oh my god? Right now, people, by the way, remember that thing I read like twenty episodes ago.

There's nothing lonelier than a person screaming the right answer at about this. There are seventeen people from Philly right now screaming what it is and we don't Why would you do this? Why would you peanut choose? Yes, that's it? Okay, but what is it. What is it? Goldberg's gold Bergs peanut choose for the wind. Yeah, I said peanut choose Goldbergs peanut. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah, there's the red and the blue Goldberg's peanut choose. Yeah, I'm

looking at it right now. So what I'm saying is those weren't big in Brooklyn. No, well, neither is potato chips huge down of Philly uts didn't even exist in this area until like a couple of years ago. And hers h E R R s m hm. Yeah, a lot of regional things. That's talking about Northeast stuff. I mean, people are listening to this right now in Montana talking about candy that they grew up with and chips. But seriously,

clock bar. I'm going back to that who goes into a store and goes, I gotta have a clock bar. Well that was my point earlier Crunch No problem TWI kit kit kat rees, peanut butter cup Clark, I gotta have a clock bar. Not doing now. I know somebody listens going love clock bars? You know what cannybody love? I grew up, I don't say, and I just had two of them. I love three musketiers. They were in

that body. There's a candy bar that used to be only in the South, and so my parents and I would drive to Florida for the you know, for the summer vacation. We would drive from New York to Florida. I would get Mr Pib because it was like, uh, dr pepper. Mr Pip is a southern regional soda and a candy bar that was only available like when I would go into like a truck stop, right, and so I couldn't find it. Then I found him at the Hershey at Hershey Park, and now they sell them in places.

It's white fudge over newgat and some other stuff. I don't even know what's in it. It's a zero ro bar. Love it. A zero bar comes in a silver wrapper with a blue font and it's uh oh, It's terrific because you can find it. But it's one of those third and fourth tier candy bars. You're like, what the hell's a zero bar? Even the name isn't like a winning name zero, It's one of those. It was an

independent company and her she bought it. If you look at the history of all the Hershey's candies, like they bought Reese's pieces, right, they didn't invent. They bought Reese the whole Reese's company. At one time, these were all individual companies fighting for your dollar. A lot of them. Then her, she bought a lot of them. And by the way, I'm sorry, and then the other on it's pieces. I don't want to have the PC conversation that you're

not five. That's what we're talking a lot about Philly today, that I know. But ifs pecs then and there those things a PC and don't say a computer. I want Reese's PCs. It's it's pieces made by Reese. They were Reese's pieces. I don't want to get into that post. Yes that was a person. Yeah, speaking of background, because we're talking about the background of chocolate bars. Dumbest conversation I had. My wife says to me, hey, that that justin justin Bieber ed Shearing song the I don't care,

he says, what's the background on that song? So funny you should ask me. We're just talking to a couple of weeks ago. We're just talking about that. So ed sheer and wrote the song and it's about him and his wife and how he doesn't like going places. He doesn't like going to me, Unlessia Carr here, same song, unless your car here. It's it's an about an introvert at a party and they don't want to be there, right,

and so he wrote this song. I'm telling my wife that he wrote this song about his wife and he and they go to parties and he doesn't want to be there, and that justin Bieber feels the same way. It doesn't like going to these events. And so they get this whole thing. I going for like four minutes, and she says, no, the background music. It sounds like they're sampling another song. I go, why didn't you stop me? He was, you were on a roll. So she didn't

want the ground behind the writing of the song. She meant the instrumental, the bed, the track. She wanted to know what that was. It sounded like another song. She thought there was a sample very well, But I go, why didn't you just ask me what she was? I did? I asked you what the background was, but she meant the background music. And I went this whole story with her, and my daughter's looking at me, like, why are you explaining that to mom? But nobody stopped me. Nobody said

but because they're sick of arguing with you. I be like, just let this guy go, Just let him go. All they had to say was we want to know about the music. And I'm like, oh, okay, when you're on a roll. I was on a roll. Oh if I got shipped to talk about uh put elevata buttons, I mean we have in the past. Let's continue that conversation. Okay. So, by the way, I don't want to get the name wrong. I want to go to my Instagram real quick because I got a d m I got a d M

Um, she is the young lady that did the flow chart for us after episode sixty seven that showed how we have a conversation, not the other one that was a couple of weeks ago where everyone was like, no, that's the people with a d D. This is the actual flow chart that she wrote. And she said, Um, this is what she wrote, Brody, not

show your our message. History is saved on your end. It is. I'm the one who designed the flow chart for the Brooklyn Boys almost a year ago, just getting caught up listening to episode one oh one and wanted to send you a message saying, absolutely makes my day. Every time you're scary mentions the flow chart, It's like being in on an inside joke between pals and it makes me smile. Grats on getting past a hundred episodes and feel free to reach out if there's an episode

or milestone we would like another flow chart. It would be my pleasure to create another one. Okay, let's wait for a confused. It would be my pleasure to create another one, is what she wrote. The good work looking forwards episode one or two. Well, you're in episode one or two. The congratulations. But yeah, if we want on the flow chart, we can request another flow chart. Okay, but we have to have an interesting podcast first. Yeah, this one isn't it feel about where you're gonna be

making appearance that is not listen? That is, by the way, that is part that is part of the culture of being a Slice for Life, That is trying to follow us around places and and hanging out with us when we're in public. Why would you not want Slices to come hang with one of the Brooklyn boys? Why would you not want that program? Right? Can? I can? I? Can? I do one more story about the food festival? One most okay? This is do you have the snowflake jingle? I? Okay?

This one is beyond anything I could have imagined. I don't know where it came from, Okay, I just okay. So Scary and I went to the Food Festival last Wednesday and one of the booths there was Village Square Pizza. Village Square Pizza, excellent pizza. Try the pepperoni when you're there. And they saw us like, hey, boys, come back here and help make the pizza or just hang out with us. So they invite me and Scary to go behind the booth and where you could see the video on at

Elvis Durrand show. We went back there, we held the pizza boxes, we played with dispatulas whatever, and that we didn't do any harren like goofballs. Right, So I'm not gonna say her name. I don't know her name, but her account starts with dress. You look up the rest of it if you want. All right, she writes, Now you and I are both in the video. All we're doing is joking around with the guys who worked there. Tell him to stop being so cheap. That's what she wrote,

being Brody you, I don't know who. Well, neither one of us was being cheap, but you're generally cheap, so I'm not generally cheap, but I'm frugal. Or they talking to the pizza maker that was giving out small slices, So I don't know who she's talking. So I write at dress whatever who question mark? Right, she wrote, tell him to stop being so cheap? And I wrote who, so I can explain if she's upset, I could explain

maybe what she's wrong about. She writes back at David Brody O MG, which I'm surprised when you hear the rest of it that she knows what O MG is o MG exclamation point. I'm a sixty three old woman who was entitled to her opinion. No, I do not have a lot of followers because I have this account to follow the Elvisto Rand Show employees. This is a strange way to refer to us as but okay, and people who own Burnet's Mountain Dogs and food sites? Is

this really all you have to do? That's what she writes, now again, I'm gonna refresh, I wrote, She wrote, tell him to stop being so just in case, and I wrote, I feel like you're driving off a cliff. I wrote, who question mark? Oh mg, I'm a sixty three old woman who was entitled to our opinion. No, I do not have a lot of followers because I have this account to follow the Elvisto Rand Show employees and people who follow Bernet's Mountain Dogs. First of all, is that

a thing? Okay? And food sites? Is this really all you have to do? Like I'm a troll, I don't like I just so then it's okay. So I didn't see it right away because I have a life, she writes David Brody, question Mark five minutes later, David Brodie question mark at David Brodie five minutes later, So what's up? So she does it now? Instagram works. I don't need to see three times that you're asking for me, So I wrote problem. So I wrote, okay, I'm not sure how.

I'm not sure you understand how Instagram works. I asked a simple question because I didn't know what you wanted to know. But asking over and over and over again for me is kind of ridiculous. You made a post on a post I'm tagged in, so I get an alert. You really need to know how Instagram works. Not trying to be rude, but you made a comment, and since I'm in the video, I wasn't sure if you're referring to me or scary by the way, I voice texted and it says scary. I apologized and okay, and if so,

I'm not sure what you mean. Since there was no price for the food, it was all included in the entry fee, which we did pay. We were there as hosts, so no one was being cheap. I was trying to answer your question, or at least give you feedback. I never said you couldn't have an opinion I simply asked who with a question mark? Not sure where the confusion comes in. So she writes back to me, the who were the question mark came off as who are you

to say anything? You have no followers and a nothing account, And then she writes, it was not in reference to you, so that means you are being cheap? Who was being cheap? I wasn't being cheap, so I wrote. If that's what it meant, then I would have typed that. In other words, if I wanted to say, who the hell are you? You know me, I would have said, who hell are you?

You said, Cal stopped tangled in this fucking you said tell him to stop being cheap, So I wrote with a I said, with as your mark, who nothing more, nothing less? You implied, I don't know who you want to be told to stop being cheap? So if it wasn't me, it had to be you. What were you doing to be cheap? I wasn't doing anything. I was appearing in a video behind a counter at the fucking New York City of Food Festival. Let's see, is there

any sound he gave you a slice of pizza? I think he was talking about the pizza guy because it was small. She thinks that we didn't wait online and pay for the pizza and then we went back and got free pizza. That's what she thinks. And she wants someone, not doesn't say who, she wants someone to tell you to stop being cheap. So, first of all, fuck you,

scary because you thought it was me. Second of all, this woman not only is off a rocker, obviously doesn't realize I'm in the video or that I'm on the show, because she attacked me and told me she only uses Instagram to talk to the Elvistrain employees, of which news flash, I am one. So I'm not going to give the dress lady and the burnets Mountain Dog lady at f you, but I'm thinking something similar. But she's a listener, so

I gotta give her the benefit of the doubt. Outside and some of these list some of these listeners, some of them. That was a long walk in the park, Brodie, Yeah, walk in the park coming up. Uh, not necessarily this podcast, because I don't want to be held accountable. I got a hospital situation and unrelated a blood work situation. A blood okay, so I got some stuck just uh, had a rough week and by the way, reading did it? Did we talk about the reviews some of the reviews

on iTunes. We'll do that coming up next. All right, read some of them, Brodie read some of them. I want to hear it well. One of them said, I really enjoy the podcast, and I like Brodie's rants. But I find it hard to believe that anyone has that many issues in life. I think some of them are made up. I don't think they're made up. I think that you really have these issues, absolutely I do. But you have larger issues than just the ones that you

write about. I don't have larger issues. Just happened to bad luck you have. Behind the scenes, I noticed things if if if listen, I write them down between me and you. I noticed things too, but I just let it roll off my shoulder. That's why you let it, Harbor. Okay, how would you handle this? I had I had to meet I had to meet a friend of mine the hospital. Okay, they had to go for some some minor tests. I think everything's gonna be fine, but so my friends just

meet me at the hospital. All right, this way, And I said, I'll drive you home because it was in Manhattan. And I said, I'll go uptown, meet the hospital, and I'll drive you home. Not a problem, Okay. Guy lives not far from me where I live. Okay, So I'm in. I'm I go in the building, and outside the elevator bank is two bathroom doors. Okay, two bathroom doors. I got a p I took a train all the way up town, and I'm gonna take a train back to my car until like I'm gonna drive somebody to take

a train. Okay, I took a train up town and I had to take a P. So outside the bathroom is a guy, maybe late sixties with a wheelchair. Not in the wheelchair, the wheelchairs next to him, so obviously he's with somebody. He's staring at the bathrooms, and you could tell the wheelchair belong to a woman, or at least someone who identifies as a woman. Don't snowflake me, okay, Okay, I'm assuming it's a woman. Both bathrooms are unisex bathrooms, you can go in either one, and both bathrooms are

handicap accessible. So I say, oh, are you waiting for somebody? He says yes, So I said which bathroom are they in? So he points to the left one. So I go to the right one and open the door, and there is the woman he's with, this older woman naked on the toilet and somebody's hair. So I looked back at him, and he goes, what are you doing? I go, I asked you which once she was in? You pointed to the left wallby. He thought you were asking which one is empty? Except I used the words which one is

she in? And he pointed to the left door. Maybe he was hearing impaired. Okay, I'm visually impaired now because I saw something I did not want to see. This guy is in a wheelchair. I tried for it's a woman in a wheelchair. She's not deaf. You don't lose your hearing in a wheelchair. Scary. And he wasn't in a wheelchair. He was the wheelchair pusher. The person that was sitting in the wheelchair and walked to the bathroom,

to the bathroom to take a ship. Well, it's a woman that could be peeing, okay, but my point is just be a little. I don't know. It's a wheelchair couple, just giving. He's not a handicapboys break he's pushing around that wheelchair all day. I assume they were elderly. Okay, so they got a break at some point, you get a break in life. They were sixties. Anyway, I go into Okay, so this particular hospital, this particular hospital, which I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what happened when

I got upstairs. This hospital is a is a cancer hospital. Again. My friend's gonna be fine. He just went for a screening. He's fine. It's a cancer hospital in Manhattan. In the bathroom, it says no smoking anywhere in the hospital. I mean, I would I would like to think that's understood throughout the entire fucking stupid. Do you have to be first of all, in yoke, you can't smoke indoors, But to smoke a cigarette anywhere in a cancer hospital irony, not coincidence, irony.

If you do it, don't tell me they sell cigarettes in the would be next level. I just thought, do you really have to put it no smoking sign in a cancer hospital bathroom? Really? Really? I don't know it bothers you think it would be understood. I can tell you what happened when I go upstairs. What happened? All right? I go to the elevator and people are pushing. Uh. Now, there's two lower levels in this hospital. So even though I'm in the law, but you can go down this.

This couple walks up and they pushed the up and the down buttons. I hate that. I know you do. I hate that unless they were separating and going they were not. They pushed up and down. People. Do you not know what that is and how that works? Bothers the funk out of me. Bro, if the elevator is going down, you hit the button down. And if you stop an elevator that wants to continue going down, you

want to go up. My favorite is when I'm in the lobby and I'm going up to my apartment and I'm in the elevator and it just stops on a random floor and the doors open, and some woman like looks in and goes, oh, I'm sorry, I was going down because you know that bitch puts it down, push the up, push the button because she's like, oh, I just want the elevator to come. Don't do that. I hate those people. I hate them more when they're not there and you get the elevator throwing around the word

throat punched. The last couple of days around the station I would throw it punch to person. I would like to throw the punch to person that did that. Suck up. Okay, now I have some email. I want to finish hospital story. Do you mean you're not done? I got no, I got more, keep going. Okay. So I go up to the store where my friend says, meet me on the fourth floor. Right. Okay. So I go up to a woman at the desk and I say, uh, we'll just call my friend Jim Brown. I said, yeah, I'm here.

I'm looking for my friend Jim Brown. I was supposed to meet him on the fourth floor at the waiting room. But here is the waiting room, and uh, Jim Brown's not here. I was wondering because my friend Jim has a lot of tests to run. I'm wondering if you could tell me in the computer where along the process of testing is Jim, so I could see his You know, maybe Jim's another hour. What's the status with Jim? You're

pulling the china shop at this in this hospital. No, I'm asking a nice question because but I know it's about to get really rude. The woman says, do you know if he's on the eighth floor getting a cat scam. I said, how would I know? I just told you I don't know where he is. I just asked you to look it up. You're getting rude. So she says, oh, okay. No, she says, okay, hospital a little upset. I was worried about Jim. She says, oh, okay, I thought you knew.

I said, based on what? What indication did I give you that I knew? In question where Jim is? I said, I said, I'm sorry, but the first thing I said to you was I don't know where Jim is. Everyone's everyone's heart monitor machines by the way nearby are all going I said, because they're hearing you yell and argue. I was not yelling. I was not yelling. You were yelling, and there there are people in these rooms trying to rest. Okay, so she goes, you're getting She goes, I let me

look it up. Click click on the keyboard. Oh, Jim's on the eighth floor getting a cat scam. So I said, am I allowed to go up there? And as there waiting room h and she says, uh no, yeah, yeah yeah. So I said, what do you mean, she's what do you mean? What do I mean? I said, I asked you if I can go up there? And you said no, yeah, yeah. I only asked you one question. And is that a no, I can't go up there? Or yeah, yeah I can go up there? She says, Oh, I'm sorry, you can

go up there? You're you're then it was the information desk. Why are you asking me these questions? First of all, do I off if Jim's on the eighth floor? I just asked you. Uh, by the way, Madeleine, that was in a Madeleine. You're not gonna give a funk you to Madeline. You know what added to the list? Fuck you, Madeleine? Oh do you know if I just asked you? I don't know where Jim is him? Do you know what Jim? I don't know what Jim is. I'm worried that my

friends at a cancer hospital where you can't smoke. Cassie, do you hear that Cassie is the one who wrote the list? And uh, Madeleine read your emails? Talk that shows like it's time welcome You've got mail. Becky Tyree wrote to us at the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com Latina in a super thick accent. She writes I love y'all, binge listen while I'm at work, and I want to point something out that's been bothering me. Please don't be mad, because I love you guys so much.

A while back on the podcast, there was an issue with a Hispanic newscaster saying Latina in a super thick accent, even though she doesn't have an accent usually, y'all poke fun in her for it, and even as the opinions on if she is correct in doing that or not. Now, I'm Hispanic myself, but I don't speak Spanish, but my sister does and she does the same thing as the newscaster did, and it used to drive me nuts. I just want you to know, is it any different though,

than the way y'all pronounced muchadel and preshoot. I'm from Virginia, so I've been saying those words the non brook In way my entire life, and I had no idea what y'all were talking about. Thanks. So she's trying to make the comparison that it works both ways. Bub oh bub I'm just do that. Are trying? Bob Uh, Tim Rasmussen, Free Desert, Grandma Police. It's d E S S E R T not d E S E R T Tim.

I love the podcast long time listeners since episode zero slides for life in Order bitches, wanted to share my story. I ordered a small package from Amazon two days ago. It was a long time Prime member, guaranteed two day shipping free. Well, just so happened that on the evening of the day too, I received a message saying that my delivery was delayed and would be delivered first thing the next morning. Here it is ten pm the following night and it's still not here, and all I could

think of was what would Brodie do? So I called and Saturday sat on hold and forever sat there. Eventually offered a five dollar credit. By the way, the item my purchase was ten dollars, but I told them no, he even is not even, And after more transfers and complaints, I was given a credit and guaranteed delivery before twelve knew the next day, so they essentially gave me my purchase for free, plus five dollars from my trouble nice so they actually paid her for him for his delivery.

Thank you, Brooklyn boys, I love you both. Can't wait for Tim rass Mussin. By the way, I'm not going to mention names, but somebody sent me a couple of grammar police uh pictures and they hashtagged at grammar Police with an E R and grammar that's irony. But you gotta spell grammar right if you get a grammar place. Chadwick Clark writing to us, hey with Greg Te gone. I've been wondering if you guys were to leave Greg t the Jersey kids remember him, just gone from the

big show. I've been I've been wondering if you guys were ever to leave the show, other than doing radio, what career would you both go into? Episode? By the way, my favorite episode, the first fifteen minutes with less farting on our husband's penis just bloody hilarious. That was the great post. I think Chad might be from the other side of the pond, gay, he said, bloody hilarious English, bloody hilarious. Anyway, Yeah, So what would we be doing? I gotta be honest, I don't know what I would

be doing. I would probably be an accounting because that's what my parents wanted for me. I was going full throttle into accounting courses to be a CPS. I was going to school to be a lawyer, and uh, I'm like, this isn't for me, just doesn't feel right. And I joined the college radio station and the rest is history.

Beth Schultz, right, Uh, you wanted to mention this Since the end of episode one, Brody played the clip from the Thursday Night Football of the guy saying verse instead of says Gandhi says verse in her ad for curvy jeans. Just letting you know, grammar police, we should probably correct her. On a different note. Congrats to making it to you guys. Slice for Life, Beth, can I read one? Go for it? Okay? This one, I'm gonna need you guys to tweet us.

I'm giving you permission because I okay, I didn't know this, but I'm not sure why it's acceptable. Brandon be money Swag quite a name. Hey David, very nice, Love everything you do. Can't wait for the book. Have a question. I went to a restaurant I really like and took my family there where they were visiting from out of town. I live in the South, so bugs are common. Halfway during our meal, a roach came scrambling over towards our

table from the corner of the room. I was disgusted we packed up and left, and I told the employee behind the counter, who came out with a broom to sweep, and I guess try to find it as we left. I contacted them via their corporate contact on their website over a week ago, but haven't heard back. He wanted my advice. I gave it to him, but then he writes, I'm asking you because I know roaches are pretty common in the South. Um, they're pretty common everywhere. But here's

the thing. So I continued the conversation with him, and and he says, uh, oh, yeah, um, I know I live in a place in the South where roaches and restaurants are pretty common. Is that true that people in the South just like roaches are running rampant? It's not. I don't know how y'all know it is my roach? Like, come on now, So, I mean, Brandon wasn't implying there everywhere, but he was sort of saying like, yeah, we know they're in the restaurants. I don't want another in restaurants

now in New York, dre in the kitchen. You don't see him, but if they run across the table, I'm getting my money back. I thought that was interesting. Brandon that you live in the South. You don't live in the South. We lived in South Brooklyn, but doesn't count the question do you live in the South and are you completely comfortable and accepting of the fact that ends roaches all over the restaurants and then oh, yeah, it's a Southern thing. I feel like that's generalizing the South.

And by the way, if you live in Miami, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the South. South, Like, are you living in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana? Like you know what the South is? Shelby Constellini writes to us, Oh, hello, Shelby, my co worker and I are both huge fans of your podcast as well as the Big Show. In the fifteen minute Morning Show, we frequently look at each other during meetings when someone says another one. Free dessert is

a common topic and is never passed up. We both binged the Brooklyn Boys episodes from the beginning. That being said, Emily, my friend and co worker is getting married on October eight, that's tomorrow, folks, on Friday. It would be so awesome if you could give her a shout out, she would lose her mind. Probably more than she did when Scary followed us both on Instagram. Thank you so much. Keep

the awesome podcasts coming, Shelby from Connecticut. Here's the problem, Shelby, and we get this kind of mistake all the time. You write this wonderfully crafted email, give my my my husband a happy anniversary, tell my son happy birthday, congratulations on getting married, but you leave out all the names. You don't leave You didn't write that, so we get that. That's that. We get that a lot. You forgot to put the most important part of the email in the email,

and that is what the fuss? Her name? Maybe she's just asking permission in the future. Can you wish them? Why don't you just put it right there in the email? Also, two more things you need to keep in mind. I love you, by the way, what is your name? You may not listen to the podcast and in timely manner, in which case the birthday wish won't be They're huge fans. This means they're gonna hear this today. His other problems. His other problems, Shelby, we on two birthdays on this spot.

It's not a birthday marriage, okay, wedding the wedding well, you know what happened. Congratulations Shelby and your lucky spouse. No, not Shelby, Shelby. Congratulations to your coworker, get married, right, your whatever their relationship is, Mr Mrs, mrs, mrs, Mr Mr. They them those thou whatever. So I used to do the birthday list for one in New York City and we stopped this more birthday listening to compile and do

it on the air every morning. This is years ago, and so often people would be like, hey, give my niece a happy birthday wish and he wouldn't leave any information, right, Okay, yeah, my very special niece or my son graduating college this right, so proud of him, so proud of him, congratulate him. Okay, and don't don't leave the name of the college. Don't

leave your town. Also, the other wet the other mistake they would make is they would they would wouldn't tell you what aim they listened, right, so we wouldn't know what to do a four hour show. And if you're not listening to that second and a half of audio that right there. We don't have that problem here on the podcast because she's listened to the entire thing. So we don't do birthdays. That some housekeeping. First of all, we need some more reviews on Apple, it iTunes or

whatever they call it now. iTunes is where we got to get back into that cracked that Apple two hundred and I think that we need more. So if you haven't written a review for us, please kindly leave some comments. I'm gonna add one more request. We told you a couple of weeks ago we would number twenty five on the I Heart Radio Top one. Okay, then we were then thirty five, thirty four whatever. I don't know what's going on either either either. You guys are now downloading again,

which is fine. Is your business. We asked you not do with It's right. He loved this. You wouldn't, but okay, right. Um. Then our buddy Garrett, who hosts the Celebrity Buzz podcast with Rob Shooter, which is a great podcast. He shot all the way up to VAM and we're very proud of him, very happy for him. But he told us

the secret. What's the secret? He and Rob are embedding the podcast on websites, their Facebook pages, on on Rob Shooters web page, and so I think if you guys were to post our podcast on your Facebook pages, but embedded embedded like yeah, right, so that meaning like the player is there and you can hit play inside the window right there. That counts as a list. I don't

know if it does it. That's why he's getting if you could tweet out the link, Hey, check out my friend just you know what, let's this is an experiment and the reason we ask well, I know we ask a lot of you guys. But the I Heart Radio Podcast Award nominations will be announced later in November. I got a bad feeling about that. I think the Brooklyn boys need to like go in with like hard. We need to go in hard with that, like we need to kind hard Brody. I didn't want to hide it

from you, but I'm not feeling good this year. I don't think we're gonna get nominated. I mean, I hate to have the defeatist attitude, but I just feel like I just feel like ten. I mean, how would they ignore us if we were in the top ten of the I Heart Radio podcasts in a week and every time you listen once per day, every day, one listen, that's the counts and tell some friends we need to get the word out there outside of this circle. Yeah. I feel like what we did was we shot up

like a rocket. But we're right around the same level now for the past eight months, nine months. We need we need to be in growth mode. What are we not doing that? We're not like we were not next level ship. We're not next level. We're just chip. We We're not like we're just here. We've we've plateaued. We're not podcast af We're just kind of podcast you're not. We're not fourth quarter skiy. We're staying in first course. We're not getting year old Grenese mountain dog listeners. That's

Yeah, so you're you're just so I'm clear you're saying following customer, right yeah? Okay, uh yeah, Can we speak to the manager because I have I had a problem there on this weekend? Okay, thank you? Yeah, all right, it's a corporate policy, dude. I understand that they had to visit directly. He did say falling customer.

You know what he meant? He meant follow? Yeah, I understand that, but I thought he said fallen you making fun of him because of the accident. Following, following follow I know, I understand the man if I hear, but the manager is not going to solve your problem because we got you don't want to said call him. I know, but I just we just got our answer, but he got I like the music. Yes, Hi, are you one of the managers? Yes, I am Hi. What's your name? Des oh Desi? How are you? Um? My name is Scary.

I was in your store this weekend and I had a question. Is it company policy for your cashiers to say, may I help the following guest? Following guests may help the following customer? We give them, We give them options of what to say. Okay. The reason I'm asking is because when you say may I help the following like if I said, well, the following people keep please come to the principal's office. You're going to read a list

of names. But when you say following, can I help the following guest, I'm waiting for a name to be read out loud. Well, I think what you mean is may help the next guest. Don't you think that's corrected to say the next guest? May help the next guest. That's that's sufficient. Also, yeah, but following guest is in efficient because I saw people in front of me didn't understand that, and they weren't going to the register because it's not proper to say, may help the following guest

because you're not really the following guest. You have to wait to the next guest. You're not really following anybody guest desert, that's what you should use. I just didn't know if it was corporate policy. And they say, oh, you could say the word following down like written somewhere in like the corporate rooms, may help the following guests. It's like, you know what I'm saying, Like you know, well, the following people please come to the stage, and then

you read the list of names Mike, Steve, Paul. But if you don't read any names, the customers didn't go to the register. They stood there. So I don't know if that's working. You think that works. It works now, I don't think it works. The girl had to start waving because people didn't understand understand I'm saying the following guests you should then read a list of names, right, I don't know, all Right, that was my question. Can you give any prescriptions for a Brody b R O

D y pharmacy? Okay, he needs penis smallening pills. It's too big. He just yeah, he take I'll take the pharmacy. Great, thank you, But Scary Johns, I don't want to see what kind of medication you taken because you're you're a lute. Is this like a hip hop problem? Don't even know what that means? One can help you? Yes, question for you to pharmacy. Uh, I was there last week. My name is uh Scary Jones and uh what da data? Birth to three st system? Oh that's weird. Try sixty

five he's old. Mh Nope nothing, how are you spelling? Scary s? K E R Y Wait a second, is this CVS? No? This is not ship. I called the wrong place. Sorry about that. You have a great day. Helped the following customer. We can't get a chance, or the next falling customer. I don't know so when obviously we got the answer right there in their guide, their style guide. They that is one of the options. Uh, that is Core Corporate has allowed them. Maybe there is

some Maybe it's a regionalism, Brody. Maybe this is from this region. No, No, with corporate maybe somewhere in the southwest or maybe in the north Walgreens corporate located. What I'm saying is, maybe it is that is a way of addressing Deerfield, Illinois. So maybe somewhere in Deerfield, Illinois if you say that statement, because they wouldn't have instructed their employees to say that as an option. You see what I'm saying, Like there are things their regionalisms and

dialects and localisms that we don't know about. So it may be excepted here is you know, like white white mills accepted somewhere. Let's see what Let's see what it says. Um he has a page called stack exchange. It says isn't correct to say the following customer. It happens all the time you are in line at the grocery store, Starbucks, anywhere cashiers are employed. Having finished a transaction, one will

cheerfully say to help the following customer. I'm pretty sure that the next customer's correct usage unless they call the following customer's name. This okay, No, no, no, It says, I have to think that cashiers have been instructed by management to use following. I can't this is a person's opinion. I can't believe that cash is on their own would come up with such silliness. I've also heard following guests instead of customer, which is even more convoluted. Does anyone

know more about this? Uh, it's a participle being used as an adjective, like the walking dead or the setting son. It's a little unusual. The phrase next customer is more common idiom in English. Of course, what we've been I'm telling you it is. Although it is not incorrect, it grates on everyone's nerves because it connotates the sense of people, uh, flowing to the next person and they don't read the names. They should say, yeah, so there you go. You have it.

It's definitely in their corporate policy. It has to be, because cashiers would just go rogue and say that on their own. They're probably being programmed, pre programmed to say that on the phone. Just now, he admitted, so there you go. So they so, so your problem was with corporate? Give me that number. Let's see if we can get them to change their policy for the entire country. See if there's a hold on Walgreen's number. Let's call Deerfield, Illinois.

Right now, hold on Dalgreen's corporate offices, Walgreens always, dear Field, deer Field. I gotta do it again. Sorry, Illinois, Jesus, I'm Illinois. Right now, corporate headquarters. Why are you dragging me into this? Here? Hold on? I don't think twice about this ship, but bothers you. I know, but we have a podcast. I mean it bothers me, but I don't say anything about it. Now you're making me want to get to the bottom of it. Okay, here for

a little like Chicago suburbs. Okay, I'm telling them, so who would who would this fall under? Thank you for calling Walgreen's corporate directory surface If you know the party's extension, I didn't get that. Please say yes or no? Yes? Do that? Thanks? What did we agree to? I don't know. Yes is the better answer, though, what it's gonna caut y know makes them hang up on you? What if the question was do you want us to hang up on you? And you just know it's always the affirmative

is always takes you to the next step. Hello, that's not true. It's like fiction and science fiction. Fiction is fake, but not hung up on us? I say, do you want to be hung up on? You said yes, Now you want the number one? What the fucking number? Oh god? Why are we deling everything that we had planned today for? This is what we do. This is what we do until a top This is whose idea was it to make these calls? I'm not getting nominated. Oh hello, don't

say anything. You can't talk while they're talking. Huh. I didn't get that customer service. I think we are having difficulties here. No, not you are. Your call is being transferred to the operator for a sister. Don't don't screw this up. I got this. If we have the following, guest, we have the follow Thank you for calling Walgreens. You're calling monitored or recorded for quality assurance for the next

available it's definitely recording. Are helping out a college, if you have a job, If you have a job monitoring calls for quality assurance tweets? How many I assi? Hi? Hi, my name is Anthony. UM. I had a problem in one of your stores with a cashier and I have a policy question. Who would I speak to about that? They told me to call the corporate office. Okay, give me and let me Consumer relations department. Yes, perfect, Thank you,

that's nice. You're welcome. Thank you appreciate it. That's my lover. Are we the following guests? Thank you too. I thank you for calling. My name is Lisa, Hi, Lisa, this is a Garrett Um. I have a question about policy and your stores because it didn't make sense to me, so I called the store after I was there and they confirmed that's the policy. I was in your Walgreen's location in Manhattan and Times Square, and I was on

a very long line. There were four cash years agoing, and when a cash register opened up, the woman behind the counter said, may I help the following guest? Right then, nobody moved. Nobody moved? Why didn't they move? Because you expect a name to be read, to be read out loud. For instance, if I say, well, the following people please come to the principal's office, a name, a list of names will come out Jim, Bob, Paul, Steve, Mike. Shouldn't she have said I will may that? May I help

the next guest? And I when the store said that's company policy to say, may help the following guest. But if you don't read a name that you don't know who the following guest is. Grammatically, it doesn't make any sense. Do you understand I'm saying? She hung up on us. She's in charge of customer customer relations. Wow, Lisa, hold on? Fuck you, Lisa. Wow. I can't believe that that was corporate customer relations. That was that was alive, scary. Didn't hang up on her, she just hung up on us.

Now, I didn't get that, but you're a computer. Hold on. Thank you for calling long Greens. You're called maybe monitored or recorded for quality assurance to bed force. Hung up on us. To the bottom of this. Thank you for calling my name is Amando. To your call by Amanda? Can we

We're calling to complain about something that happened in the store, but now we're complaining about the customer relations person we just spoke to who hung up on us.

It's Lisa, Lisa would would you're Lisa? Okay, aren't you just one moment?

what are you doing these days? I'm singing the unhold music for older than adele Um. By the way, when people when you when you, when you think about, like what does Brodie do on his days off? This? This is pretty much you at your desk. Can I speak to a supervisor? Is like I should get like this in my ringtone. That should be your second book supervisor, forget about the evenings? No, can I speak to a supervisor that encompasses you? Now, five people just made a

dead book title shush that folly embodies Brodie? Am I wrong? No? Are you a customer service supervisor? Team? Oh? Escalations team? All right? Uh so, uh My my name is uh Is Garrett, and I was in your store in Times Square and I had a question about the customers service policy. And when I called, I spoke to Lisa in customer Relations, and in my explanation of the problem or the question

I had, she hung up on me. Now, I know these calls are monitored for quality assurance, so I'd like to make sure that that call was monitored for quality assurance because she just hung up. She didn't say goodbye, she hung up, So that's not that's not proper policy of custom relations. Correct, Okay, then proceed to escalate. Here's my question. Have you been in a store recently. Oh, you don't go to CVS. All right? So I was in one of your stores, longline, and the cashier, when

she was available, yelled out, may I help the following guest? Now, if you're at school and they say, well, the following people please come to the principal's office, they usually read a list of names. Will the will the following people please report to? Uh? Come up to the window to see the doctor. They give you a list of names. But when you say can I have the following customer? There's no name. People didn't move up. They didn't know that that was what it meant. Shouldn't they say? As

a corporate policy, may help the next customer. It's not documented is to have a as customers to come forward. They don't have a okay, because I called the store that they have to state, all right? Because I called the store and I spoke to a gentleman names from I could remember something like that, uh, And he said it's the policy of the company to say, may help the following guest. And that doesn't make any sense to me grammatically, And so he said you should call the

corporate office. And that's when Lisa hung up on me. So you're saying, that's not a customer service mandatory phrase to use. I'm not familiar with their their pre unless it's something that they institute if they started in their particular store, I'm not familiar with. Okay, So when you go for your store has their own right is more appropriate? Right right, right, right, right now. You said you haven't been in the store in a while. Where do you

shop for your pharmaceuticals? That's that's doesn't oppertain it to this cause. Oh so not Walgreens. Okay, not a problem. In other words, there's none of your business. That's noth I understand that. Okay, if you could please, if you could please put some quality insurance on that call with Lisa from ten minutes ago, we'd appreciate it. Thank you so much. You can now help the following guests as well.

She does not sound like escalated. That sounds to me like they found someone who was on the who came back from me a lunch break and like, hey, you're gonna play the role of supervisor. I don't think she's actually a supervisor. I'm in escalations. What does that mean she works on the elevator, What does that mean, my ain hurts, all right, I didn't get to have my ship. You know. I want you because of when I was born Brooklyn, dah Boys Brock, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, naw Boys Brock, Brooklyn,
