#106 Skeery's Big Package & The Boujee Dinner

of the Week. I gotta say brook Podcast Podcast of the Week the week. Yeah. By the way, I'm so freaking stressed. Look at me. I know you look stressed. Do I look very stressed? I haven't shaved in three four days now? And for an Italian guy who gets five o'clock shadow at one o'clock and the star looks like him, the exactly, it's bad. It's bad. And now here right I'm looking at I'm going a beard. Now, are you stressed about the nams? No nom but not

my My mom's like food doesn't stress me. Food act the nominations, nominations, no noms, the noms. Yeah yeah, that but that that's that's like number three on my stress line. Well, well let's talk about that. Let's open with that. I hate to open on a negative. Brody's like to start. I just like to start happy and and screaming, like in a rant. That's how the podcast really should go. But I gotta come out right here in the top of this I'm human, listeners, I am, I am. This

is more about the slices they got. Let also, I'm angry but not surprised. If you go back to a previous episode, you will hear me predict that we are not getting nominated for the I Heart Radio Podcast Awards. Nominations came out earlier this week. If you watch the first season of Survivor, it was a new show. Nobody knew what it was, nobody wanted a volunteer for it. You look at the cast, Richard Hatch, Sue Rudy rest his soul. It wasn't an attractive cast. It was overweight people,

Harry Older just you know, we're basically an experiment. Experiment it was. It was the beginning, the humble beginning. Let's put on some weird people who are dumb enough to want to go onto an island and wipe their butts with leaves and then the show was a six show was a huge hit, and what do they do in

the postmorte? Then you look at second season, third season, are they doing the postmort and they have the meeting and like, next season, we're going to do it bigger, like all eyes all eyes are on us now season season two of US Survivor. Oh, let's get a hot blonde and a girl with big boobs. Let's make sure that this one only wears bikini. Let's get some hot people. Right then the third season hotter. Then they're just like, oh, I gotta go hot on. They're just l a plastic

right now. Now that's now, there's some big survivors got some right, but only because they got so big. Now people will watch and though there's ugly people, but to build it up, they had to go. And that's what the Heart Radio podcast, our own company, stabbed us in the heart. We were not nominated for anywhere. If you google I Heart Radio Top one hundred podcasts, which is what I post on Instagram every couple of weeks when

we move up to charts. We were twenty nine, we were we were fifteen, right, we we've done, We've done well. We've done extremely well, and it's thanks to you guys

for listening. And by the way, major props to you guys for saying, hey, what if I opened my phone and my browser and a second browser and then back then everybody Last year, at this time, everybody was rattling around voting for us every day, and we lost to Joe Rogan very but only because the last week he started promoting a small margin with his massive audience and he beat. Joe Rogan beat us by a votes. So you thought, well, you look on the top one Heart

radio podcasts. Not only are we one of the top podcasts of I Heart Radio non host employees, in fact, we are the top I Heart Radio non host employees. In other words, if you don't we don't host our own ship. Bobby Bones podcast is up there. He's a major player in our company, Pig with the Breakfast Club with Charlemagne and Elvis Duran podcast right. And there are people like like Bobby's got a Music countdown there, major Steve Harvey. There are major people, celebrities in our company

that a podcast. But for the for the second tier, third tier folks like you and and and me, uh, where the top no named podcast people from our company, we really are, or we're second, we're in the top right. And as far as comedy podcast we figured it out. We looked three or four depending on the week, in the kind of the entire company comedy podcasts. Yet for

the Comedy Podcast Awards, they want Hollywood on us. It's also well, it's a lot of celebrities it experience find Joe Rogan's a monster in this industry, the Ron Burgundy podcast, that's Will Ferrell, Will Farrell Comedy Bang Bang, very established, uh internet comedy division company Conan up Brian needs a friend not I Heart Radio. By the way, it doesn't matter because it's these are neutral, these awards, and then

a couple of us I've never even heard of. I'm not going to promote him here because then, you know the thing is I love Conan. You know I love Conan. I write comedy one of the reasons because of Conan. But but is he bust in his ass every week to do podcasts? Is he even is he even going to promote He's going to promote the podcast awards on his podcast and say, hey, guys vote for me, right? Probably not right? Is he? Is he gonna go. Guys, guys, you gotta vote, gotta go. You gotta open up six

Twitter accounts and vote. And we had we had Elvis and the Big Show promoting promoting us, telling people to go to the website, pounding away at that website to vote for us in the Podcast Awards. I dressed up and now this year, but we don't. We don't have that, we don't have. I was all so very surprised hold on that we didn't get nominated in another category. We easily could have won Best ad Read. Yeah, best ad read? Who does better commercials than us? Best Wellness and Fitness Podcast.

We should have been in there be how we know? How about the best um uh inappropriate product endorsement right, best best rant category not nominated? Best Science Podcast? Nothing, Best technology podcast? Do we not use our phones every week? Nothing? Got nothing? Oh and how about this the best green podcast? Well, I don't need anything green. That's why we didn't get nominated. We could have won for our deal episode we didn't get. Yes, we could have did not get nominated for Best Male Host.

By the way, there was Best Male Host, Best Female Host, but we're two. There was no Best like Hosting duo and by the way, best TV and Film podcast, My Walkers and Talkers podcast not nominated. Let me ask you a question, the best would podcast we have, our our friends serial Killer Scotty being Andrew not nominated. Our audience is called the Slices. We could be a food podcast. Now. Let me ask you a question if you if one of only one of us got nominated for Best Male Host,

would you be upset if you got nominated and you didn't. No, I wouldn't. No, No, alright, good, no, No, I really wouldn't, do you know, It's not It's not like that for me. I've never been that guy. I do want the podcast to succeed on any level it can. Any kind of notoriety we can get would be great. But if we can't get notoriety from our own company, our own company,

come on, people, comedy bag bang. I want to be I want to I wanted them to fly me out there again and have a great weekend, a good time, you know, rub elbows with the big wigs. You think you think, uh, Conan O'Brien is showing up to the I don't. I think that's their hope. I mean, I think I think by nominating celebrity. They're putting the Podcast Awards in a different stratosphere. They're gonna bring some l a, some some glamor glitz, some Hollywood, Hollywood injection to the

Podcast Awards, and I understand that too. It's a marketing play. We also did not get nominated in the Podcast of the Year award. Again, they could have thrown us a bone, a bone throw us in. You know what, Let's see who got nominated. The Ron Burgundy podcast. By the way, I think he did eight episodes, that's it. He pre did them, put them all together like a day that I'm just saying, we don't don't foul fan. And by the way, and we're not knocking his podcast because I'm

just saying he's on the side of busses. I get why he was dominated. He's a massive star, Ron Burgundy, huge, but he's in there. Conan O'Brien needs a friend, not only for best Podcast. I'm gonna have to listen to him. My favorite murder stuff you should know, that's always huge. Joe Rogan experience. They created podcasts, the people and stuff, you know, right, I mean those a legends, legends, legends, legend industry, legends. By the way, this was this Mark married.

By the way, he's there for I think either Podcast of the Year or Best Male Host. Mark Marin's a legend in the industry. Right well, anyway, this is a sound. I spent ten minutes on this. I don't mind losing the Will Farrell. And by the way, you can't say, well, foul, it's Ron Burgundy. I don't mind losing the Will Burgundy. Ron Burgundy. Yes, I would just like to be included in a category. It would be nice, It would be nice. But it must be nice to have Burgundy on your side,

you know. But alright, alright, so so so so we're done. All right, we're done. We're that part, but we can't really That was our gripe session. We're upset. I'm I'm upset, just to say you're upset than I am. I'm upset. I'm just rare but not surprised. Again, I predicted that we were going to get snubbed because I knew it. We're gonna they were gonna go all l a in

Hollywood with it. Because again, first year was more of an experiments that let's just if you if you people together nominate, if they had said, we're going all new, no repeats. Okay, the Tony Awards do that. They it's always got to be like a new Broadway show. Right. Well, see that's the that's the scam of the Tony Awards. I'm gonna blow. I've already bloodcast Tony Awards a scam. If it's your first episode, I know you listen to

order if it's your first episode. The scam of the Tony Awards is that once someone, anyone, wins an award for a role on Broadway, that role can never win a Tony Award again if you play let's say, Alexander Hamilton's and Linn Manuel. Right, you caught the reference I made a minute ago, right, Yes, there was. You're quoting Hamilton's Zone, all right, well no it's a song from so yeah. That means how good you are can never

win a Tony for playing Alexander. That's why all new how the New probably shows are the ones that nominated everybody. That's because every show is Tony would nominated. Because eventually and everything they run out of shows that were nominated. Everything is a New York Times best seller, right, Lots of books get on that list. So I would it would be nice. So I feel like, could we no longer be nominated we didn't win, Well, we could. We could definitely say that, hey we are we are still.

We don't have to say the year and and listen, the expression is it's it's it's it's his rewarding just to be nominated now, just well we weren't right last year, that was our slogan. It was it's an honor just to be nominated, by the way, that was not a slogan. And right up to the point where we didn't write dishonor right up until the point where we didn't win, we're like, oh, we really want to win. We got this thing. Now my parents call me again. Oh they

are absolutely baddie. The older you get us. I love my mom and dad, but the older they get Brodie, you can relate. My father's like, don't so up. There's been there's been a rash of crime here in Bensonhurst. Get getting wash. I'm thinking about putting in the security cameras and what the security cameras that jingle ready, don't you dare? Don't you dare? You can tell the story? Do you know? He know? He wasn't even gonnapproach one

of the first even gonna approach me about. He was just like, I'm thinking of getting wouldn't just move so as? I said that, you do know that I advertise for alarm company and an alarm company on the radio. If you listen to you know what you were talking about. And he goes, dude, you could help me, uh? I said, yeah. So they send a guy to my father's house, my mother and father and and he goes, today, we got a problem, the guys here and the kids en. He

wants to check the wires. He wants a drill holes through the brick. We're gonna get leaks. He's gonna put wires up the side of the house. He's gotta go into your bedroom because he said that's where the internet is, and the internet I don't want to connect into the

way to that. I said, Dad, do you want them to do one of those half asked jobs where you just with his note, what's a wireless where it's battery operated and you stick it's taped up and somebody could just come and rip the fucking thing off the door. I said, no, you want real mounted cameras, hard wired with amazing crystal clear pictures. I said, you want the real deal for the front and the back of the house. And he said to me, I don't know about that.

Rip up, my fucking it's gonna look like a fucking mess en wires running up in here in the closet AND's gonna move Like I already know the type of dad. Your father is something from the neighborhood. He still has his old cable box wiring. Yes, he has his antenna from his TV, the Funny Rabbit PO, the fucking HBO, a little dish. He's got all that ship and he doesn't want separate because he doesn't want doesn't want to move anything because there's a hole in the wall, right.

I don't need him drawing off walls on the walls. I said, Dad, I'm like, do you want? I mean, what do you want? And he says to me, he goes, I don't know. So I said, I said, the guy that I said you make I said that step away. You're making me look bad. I said, this guy. First of all, this guy represents us, and it's got a lot of you know, he's also doing your favor a lot is doing us a favor. You know, there's a lot riding on this. I radvertise for them. Don't make

me look bad, don't make me look like an asshole. Plus, these looks not my client. But I know who they are, and they're good people, professionals. By the way, the knock a hole in the wall. They're the best in the business. I said, you don't think they're gonna do it. You don't think they're gonna do it in aazing job. So I had I was arguing with my father, you had to see this. This was yesterday and and and he's like, the guy's at the house. He he's gonna be here

eight hours. He's gonna be stipling thing. Anyway. I just got a call from my parents just before we started this podcast, and they said, Anthony, I just want to thank you. The guy did an amazing job. You never know he was here. You can't tell they were any wires, can't tell of any trace of anything. You can't tell. I mean, it is beautiful. He's and the picture is crystal clear. Sloman's is the best hit. The fucking jingle. Don't try to tell me that was your father sang it,

not you said it. They couldn't help you. They couldn't help you do an amazing job. And I gotta say, he apologized to me. But let's take a step back. All parents just like that. I don't ever want to become that. Will you lose all sense of rationale? I said, Dad? Would I steer you in the wrong direction? I am giving you on a silver platter and you're gonna get an amazing deal. Why would you? Why would you question your son? I'm your son? But they they were screaming

and yelling at me. You this was like, this was a catastrophe for an hour yesterday. Argue. I'm like, don't you embarrass me. Let them do the job, Dad, Please don't send them back. They're gonna send them back in the truck. I said, no, no, I said, con you got you gotta trust me that they're going to do the right thing by you. And they did, and they did. It always comes out and they always apologize to me in the end. Your your mom is not like that,

or she is. She's like that with something. She trusts me on most things. But you know, when you get to a certain age, change is not like hearing that. It always starts with that. When you get to a certain age, you become less patient, distrusting, even at your age scary. There are things that you would like when you were younger, you would be like, oh, I never wouldn't. I'm never gonna think that way. But she started thinking that way. I never thought i'd watch cable news when

I was younger. Now watch I watch a couple of hours every night. Because do you like your priorities changed? Like what I know? But I always want to be fun, and I always want to be open minded, and I always want to be and I don't ever want to I'm not. I don't want to turn into them. That's a terrible thing to say. I don't want to. I don't want to have the the way that the mind work. You know, my mom has been in the podcast. You know she's cool. She has an iPad, she's got a knifehone,

the whole thing. Um. But her first response is always what do I need that for? What do I need that for? I I got what I have is good. So she gave me a fifty all the gift card to Amazon. Not for me, it's hards but I I do all the orderings. I have Amazon Prime, and so whatever she wants, she sends me a link and says, order this for me. So I order it with hard gift card. She pays for a nice shipator also use my Amazon Prime whatever. So she gives me a fifty

all the gift card. She says, put that in the account. If I need anything, take care of it. So she's got some more TVs in every room, but for some reason, one of in her bedroom, the Samsung TV, won't log on properly. Don't know why. Who Amazon Prime. She desperately wants to watch Fabulus. Mrs Maisiel, you know my mother. That show is perfect for her. So I said, you

know what, Mom, gonna get you a firestick. I may have an old one laying around the house, and I'll give it to you because it's not four K and all my TVs are four K now, so I'll give you the one that's regular high definition. She's, uh, yeah, if you think I need it, But like I have enough television. Mom. I know you want to watch Frankie and Johnny. I think is one show a couple of shows I know she wants to watch. Yeah, but I got a lot of my DV. Are what I need

it for? Mom? I'll get you the thing. So I set up to fire the old fire stick at my house. I'm looking at it and it's really kind of clunky. It's like second generation. I'm not liking the the interface. Like you know what, I get an Instagram thing it says half price fire sticks. Like mom loves a bargain. I'll get it the fifty dollar firestick for bucks whatever it was, you know, So I use her gift card. I get it a nice one. I show up to the house with a brand new in the box, latest

fourth generation whatever it is. Oh, don't you can give me the old one. I got this for twenty five dollars. It's normally like fifty. It's the newest, and it's four I guess it's four it's just I go, it's four K. If you ever get a TV for four with four K, you're ready to go to it's perfect. Oh well, how did you pay for it? I used your gift card?

Would use give card? I wanted to use that for a big purchase, like AFT Now if I want to buy something for a hundred dollars or seventy five dollars, I was gonna use the fifty Now how much do I have left? I go, like five. What am I gonna buy with? I want to fit? What do I need this for? So then of course I come out. You know what, go get dinner ready, like I brought in tian food. I said, go put out plates. Whatever you want to do. I want to set it up.

When you come into bedroom later, you'll see. All right, But I got what I mean. So she puts out the plates, getting right, all right, the dinners right, okay, give him it. I download all the apps, I set it up. I bring her into the bedroom after dinner. Oh yeah, all of a sudden, Oh okay, I see, and I can just fin I can go on YouTube. Yeah, and I can Amazon Prime and Hello and and and Netflix. Like all I gotta do is hit the sauce button

to get to ht my three. Yeah, you're all good. Right, here's the button, right you look, you can use your voice is a voice button. I can just talk into it. Yeah. My parents are the same way with Uber. They refuse to use My mom doesn't my mom? They do, but it's like they're like they still make plans for the

for the airport. The airport thing is a problem. I said, it'll work the same day, it will work the same way as you're going to the airport and picking you up from the airport, as it would any other day if you're going anywhere else. But I gotta make sure that we're on time. We gotta make sure that we we don't miss our flights. So you know, they have to call a car service. What is this car service? I'm just saying, well, whatever, parents are difficult, get well.

I got the iPad problem this week. So my mom tells me there's something wrong with the iPad. What Mom, I'm charging it and the battery's dying right away. What do you mean that it's a new iPad, it's a year old. It shouldn't be dying. It wasn't dying a week ago. It's it's just I charge it like and I I said, Mom, uh is it charging fully? I think? So? Okay, Well, do you have all your programs open? I don't know.

I don't know what you mean. We'll double click the home key and if if every program you've ever used is open, it's trained in the battery. You gotta swipe them off the screen. And this is one thing that I pought iPads and iPhones need to do. Android has a close all button, right once you hit the double home button, you can just hit clothes all closes every program right. Apple doesn't have that hit the swipe swipeswipeswipe, So I said, read to me. What it's just. I'm

double clicking. Nothing's happening. It's going to the desktop like the main screen. Not double click fast enough. Are you going click click or you going click click? I don't know what's the difference speed, Mom, so go click click. Um, I'm still going continue. She goes, all right, I click clicked. Mom, did you clicklick boom or did you boom boom? You're confusing me, Mama. How am I confusing you? I'm making sound effects either double click enough. I don't know when

you're here next time to help me? No, Mom, not gonna be there for a week. Things done. So I talked her through it. I was fifteen minutes on the phone. Boom boom, boom. Finally she bub boom is fast enough? Oh, all the programs are open. So she's I swipe, I got my says I'm closed. She's now she's telling me I'm closing Solitaire. I'm closing the email. You don't need telling I'll call you. Call me back later. Is the same thing on the phone with me. She's telling me

every step of the way everything she's doing. If she can't find the way, why is the orientation on my phone wrong? Okay, you have to hit the settings button or you have to swipey have to, but you have it unlocked. What do you mean it's unlock. It's the phone with the circle around. Yeah, like that time with the arrow going in a certain kind of clockwise. David, don't be mad. Not rotate again. It's not rotate again. Do you remember from the last time. So she took

it like twenty minutes to close every program. So I got the phone calls. It's holding a charge. Now, good, Okay, it works. We have some I have a couple of minor things. That was one of them. I got some minded things too. You go first. Here's some minor things. I tried. The not a sponsor. You know, the hyped up Popeye's chicken sandwich that people are killing themselves over killing each other for Yeah, they're killing each other, but killing for well, they're killing each other. I want that

chi bad. I'm gonna kill myself. You know the guy who the guy who cut the stabbed another guy stabbed another cut the line. The guy cut him. Yeah, people waiting on line, Like, it's like, what are they waiting on line for this chicken? Sup So how good it could be. It's still a piece of chicken breaded and dropped in grease. Well that's exactly it. I'm beginning to

think this was all a scam. Um. You know, in case you didn't know, Popeyes came out with this chicken sand They ran not a sponsor, they ran out quote air quotes ran out. Oh my god, we have a chicken shortage. It blew up, then it blew up the internet. Oh my god, we ran out. And they relaunched it on Sunday to get into the face of Chick fil A because Chick fil a is is closed on Sundays.

So Popeye said, we're relaunching on a Sunday, and the chicken sandwich came out last Sunday, whatever it was, And then the lines continued, and now all of a sudden, there's chicken for all. So I went in during lunchtime that an unassuming Popeyes on a weekday. What is an unassuming Popeyes? The one stope Eyes, the assumed dude the strip in a strip, mall parking lot that's kind of out of public view that people don't know. So not one of these Popeyes at like a country club. No,

like not a pop into. What I mean is, it's not a Popeye's at a mall. It's a no valet park. It's not a mall. Pop Eye's not on a made thoroughfare. There's no one, there's no valley parking. It's in behind a building. It's not next to Nordstrom. No, it's not. It's an unassuming Popeye's. It's not like Brooklyn industrial clothing. It's a Popeye's that's hidden, not wearing a assacchi. My Popeyes that not many people go to. And I'm like, oh, I know where it is, that that famous chicken sandwich.

There's three people on the line. People. This is the day after I passed it coming to your house and I said, oh, I was thinking of stopping a Popeyes by your house. Well you know about it, because you and I both and then you were like you forgot about it, though you did. I did forget it was it's an unassuming Popeye right, It's been next to a pier one in Sally's Beauty doesn't wear Warby Parker glasses. It's just like spises. It's not a big it's not

a big deal in the parking lot. That how that's next to what that that's what neither he nor there. The point is you go in, like oh, three people online for lunch, all right, so maybe the hype has died down. I went in and I did at barstools spot barstool sports style. You know, the just one bite guy who bites things for seven times and says he guy everybody knows Franky, Frank, everybody knows the rules, and he bites into the pizza. I'm supposed to rate it on a scale of one to ten, with ten with

tenth points like six point four that guy. All right, I'm gonna do that. So I went in, got the chicken sandwich, went home, opened it up, put it on my answers story. It's now gone. And the point is, you know, one bite, everybody knows the rules. I bit it. Well, I eventually ate it, but I judged it that you judge it by the first bite, not you can't. You can't judge it by the first bite because any sandwich, any hamburger, the you have to cut it in half

and then bite the middle. That's what I did. You know, I didn't know because if you bite the edge, your chances are you getting more bread that overhangs the meat. Whatever it is. The point, the point is I give it a seven point seven. It's here's the problem. It's a fried chicken sandwich. That's exactly a prod. You know, it's I don't want to diss it. It's a great chicken sandwich. You'd hate it because it's got pickle on. I get it without the pickle right way, you're out.

But here's the thing that they put pickle on the menu, Like did they show you this pickle? Because you know chick fili. They fucked me. They put every ingredient but pickle on the menu. I have to double check it's also underneath. So what they do is it's bun, some kind of sauce, pickle, fried bread, and chicken tender. You got me back, and a bun top bun. And so when you eat it, I think maybe because of the way it's hitting your palette, it's it's it's fucking with

you a little bit. The point is it's no better than any other chicken. I mean, it's good it's good. I mean I liked it. I ate the whole thing, and I'm like it wasn't bad. But it was like I'm sitting there and I'm like, Okay, this could be just as good as Burger King and Wendy's and McDonald by that ships spreading. I was in smashed Burger yesterday and they now have a fried chicken sandwich, which I've

never seen before. But if it's been this six months, right up there with all the rest, does it stand out? Not really. So it's just an uh uh an average maybe a little better than average chicken sandwich. And you create your own hype. Well that's the thing. Now I'm thinking back, like what then these people standing in line? Did they pay people on social media to say how

great it was? I think the marketing ploy was when they pulled it, because it was quote, we ran out, they held the land is too high, the man is so high, and they ran out, ran out. How do you run out of chicken? Well, you know who does that too. Same thing is concerts. What they do is they put on sale three quarters of the seats and then they sell it out right because they got sold out, so then they go, wait, we moved some speakers around,

we moved some chairs. We've got more tickets, or they'll go. We just added a second night. Hey, here's a little secret for you. The second night was already scheduled. They just didn't announce it. They don't want to sell five thousand and five thousand, they want to sell ten thousand, sell it out and then make you feel like, dude, everyone's going, now I gotta go on the second night. I got my second star. That's what I felt with

this chicken sandwich. Yeah, you got double concerted. They're like, I'm like, it's back in stock and I'm going to get one right now. And it totally after It was a mind f And I'm telling you there's people that now going they do that with concerts. Yeah, damn right, sure do, sure do. Thank you pop Eyes for for leading me in and uh and and just like you think there was an open night at the at the at the at the arena that no one was there, just there was gonna be empty. But because they sold

out the first night, No they're not. That contract was signed months ago, blowing off and then the reverse to that. When an artist all of a sudden gets sick or they can't, Oh my god, can't boor ticket sales. That's why they canceled the show. Paul McCartney doesn't get sick, right, Ed Sheeran doesn't get sick. He sells out every time. So you know, if your concert gets canceled due to illness or oh I lost my voice, gotta go on vocal,

the doctor says, doctor's wonders. Guess what low ticket sales? Sorry, yeah, blown the doors off. Now those people can't come in here as our guests on the on the Big Show and be mad at us now. But it's true though, that's what they do. That that's a little life that's behind the curtain. They don't want it. They don't want to use that as the excuse, so they use a different excuse. Although t I or someone just recently came out and said, by the way, I'm canceling my show

because the poor ticket sales. By the way, he is too busy checking his daughter's vagina out. I saw that the vagina. I saw the I saw that story. I saw that. Yeah, yeah, he's he's that. That's that's one of my jokes. We'll get to that in a second. But that is creepy as hell. First of all, that that that he consults his daughter's guano and and tells her to make sure that he checks make sure that she's not that she's still a virgin. By the way, just because you lose it doesn't mean you can lose

it horseback. You can lose it any of them. So there's other orifices she could be actively using while you're checking on one of them. All right, Can I talk some TV for a minute. All right, I'm gonna start off slow. I wanna I wanna talk about two shows and my problem with Disney. Plus, um, so I watched there's a show called Watchman, The Watchman, Let's watch Watchman, actually not the watch Watchman. It's based on a comic book, twelve issues of a comic book that became a graphic novel.

They made a movie out of it, which was average, but the comic is a groundbreaking comic book, industry changing comic from the eighties. I have all twelve issues, by the way, in perfect condition, I am. Anyway, So there's there's a show on HBO now based on the comics, not the movie, because the movie was very, very different. So my friend Jeff, who I've mentioned on the podcast before. We watched episode one together. Okay, we watched his house on his big big TVs and his mother's basement. No,

his basement didn't living, so we watched it. We both liked it, but it was one of those were like, Okay, I gotta see the second one. I'm not sure where I'm at with this. There's a lot of there's a lot of like, uh uh, mysteries, a lot of little threads. You're not sure where the show where the show is going. So the show's on Sunday nights up against the Walking Dead. Now you know, I do walkers and talkers. I gotta watch the Walking Dead. So uh, like Tuesday, I still

haven't watched it yet. I don't know if he liked it. So I text him and I say, did you watch the second episode of Watchman? If so, did you like it? Now? Let me guess. He responds with some plot something that happened that you didn't because you didn't see it yet, and he just gave it away. Oh yeah, did you see that? So he says. He says, I'm not gonna spoil it, though he says yes, shocker about the chief being blah blah blah blah blah bah. So I said, dude,

I hope you're not serious. I haven't watched it yet. He said, then, why didn't you add? Why did you ask? I said, I asked if you liked it because I hadn't watched it. I wasn't true if you're gonna keep watching the show, I wanted to know your thoughts. What I didn't say was tell me about the episode. He says, I figured you watched it and wanted my opinion. You know what, Brodi hold on? You didn't say to not tell him about the episode? And I said, did you like it? So then I said, I said, yes, what

doesn't matter as you hold on? Hold on? So I said, I asked your opinion because I wanted your opinion, not your spoilers. And he says, I'm cracking up right now like he thinks it's funny. Yeah, so I said, so, I said, the funny part of all this is you didn't tell me whether you like it or not, which is the actual question. I asked you, So fuck you, Jeff, nah, I said, did you watch it unwarranted? Did you like

it unwarranted? You are out of line, You're out of line, Dad Brody, if you if you're going to move repete. Repeat the initial text again to me, repeat the text on, hold on, hold on, let me hear it before, Jeff, hold on, Jeff, just you got a friend and scaryld before I read the text again. Okay, if you say to me, Hey, that new murder mystery movie? Have you seen it yet? Did you like it? And I said, oh,

it was great. Couldn't believe the redhead was the killer, You'd be pissed because you didn't ask me who the killer was. You asked me if I liked the movie too? Literal? Yes, literal litter all I said, did you watch the second episode of Watchman? Question mark? If so, did you like it? Because I wanted to know if he's going to continue watching the show, because I want to know if I should continue watching the show. He says, yes, shocker about the chief being blah blah blah whatever. He said, Did

I say, tell me the spoiler? No? But here's the thing. You're you're the fact that you're engaging him in conversation lens lends it, lends uh it to him talking to you about it in an open because he's now assuming Leslie. But he's assuming correctly that you knew that you watched it too, so he wants to get it out in the opening. Oh, let's have an open dialogue about this is what I would have said, but I would say did you watch I would have said, did you watch

the second episode of Watchman? I just finished it? Did you like it? I liked it. I would have said something, but I didn't I said did you watch it? Could keep in mind our last conversation was I'm not sure I'm gonna watch the second episode. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Uh, let's figure out what we're doing. So we had agreed we didn't love if we loved the first episode, so I did not say I watched it. Plus plus I was sick that week. That was the week I was out sick, So he knew I was sick,

but no, he didn't. He can't assume that, Brodie, he knew I was six I texted him, But he can't assume you didn't watch it. In fact, if you're sick, I'm assuming you're watching double TV watching Where where does it say I watched it? Did you watch the second? Also? Okay, this goes either way. Because you should have tweet us because you should have said you should have You should have said it right up front. Hey, I didn't get a chance to catch the episode yet, dot dot dot.

But what did you think of it? No? I know, I said, did you like it? You're wrong? Hey, did you did? Did you see Titanic? Did you like it? Oh? Yeah? Jack dies at the end? Nobody speaks that way, No, they don't. Did you like it? Yeah? The special effects were great? Nope, you play all the songs I wrote all you want? Well, you wrote him for a reason, because you knew that one day this day would come. If i'm people are gonna tweet us and they're gonna

tell us what they think. Once again, for the record, read your initial text. For those who haven't heard it seven times now, read it again. Did you watch the second EPISO sode of Watchman? Okay? If so, did you like it? Because if it was me, and I'll have to ask you that question. And I got that text like he's like, yeah, he must have seen. He's asking me because he saw it. So, man, what a plot twist that was? I'm gonna yeah, so I could openly talk about it. He wasn't being a dick. He didn't

do it on perfect and you were not specific. You're wrong. I wasn't specific. I didn't say I watched it. Let the audience be the judge. They'll be the judge. By the way, although I'm not done yet, I got more TV stuff. They no, I'm going back to I was gonna go do more TV stuff, but continue, I got TV stuff. No, continue, you can do it your turn. Well, tonate good. It was more like music stuff that fuck you that I'm going back to TV. So I I

really enjoy Watchman. You don't have to read the comic, but there's great you because Greg greg T was talking to Greg T. I don't understand Greg T about Watchman. Everything they tell you. He says to me, why the police office is wearing masks? They tell you that in the first episode. I don't understand why blah blah, I go they tell you that in the second episode. I don't know what he's watching. Anyway, I told him, like

I tell anybody, you can always go on YouTube. There are people who get paid a lot of money to review TV shows and break down the plots. So if you're like I didn't understand it, So Watchmen very good, loving the Mandalorian. If you're a Star Wars fan, I got Disney Plus. I had a fight with Disney Plus. That's we'll get to that later. I had a little problem with Disney Plus and Verizon, mostly with Verizon, but

the Mandalorian if you're a Star Wars fan, excellent. Somebody uh posted on social media last night, I think on my page, when does it take place in the Star Wars saga? When does it take place in the timeline of all the Star Wars movies? When does the Mandalorian take place? You lost me already? Okay, between which movies? Of the of the nine movies? Where does it fit in the timeline? Okay? So it happens to be five

years after Return of the Jedi. So if you like Return of the Jedi, it's got all the same droids, the same cause, the same vehicles. It's and it's very good. But again that's one of those questions. You could just google what I'm saying. It's I'm saying it's excellent. But I had to get Disney Plus to get that, and according to Verizon I should have gotten an easy PC free. No problem, but major problem. We'll talk about that later because I want to hear the music story. It's not music.

I just want your opinion on this. I hate it. John Legend and Kelly Clarkson redid Baby It's called Outside, okay, can said why they did it? Okay. First of the original song is I love listen. I love on the second. I love John Legend. I love him on um, I love him on as Jesus, no Jesus. He's on the voice. I like his Yeah, he's on, He's on the voice. I like him. I like him, I like him, I love his music. He's great, but by a little but because that's how much I love. Tell me what he

you recorded Baby It's Cold Outside? Hold on as a spoof, Please tell me that this was tongue in cheek. But I hope it's like to throw shade on the snowflakes, I hope. But the original version of Baby It's called Outside is the girl saying maybe I should go, and he says not only baby, he's trying it's cold out there, and he's trying to use the excuse that it's so fucking cold out but because he wants to stay hang out here pretty much. Maybe people, it's it's not date rape.

People are saying that people, I'm saying that's what people are saying. You can encourage a woman to say, why don't you say it's cold out there? He didn't say, I've barricaded the doors, he can't leave, and I bought you dinner. The least you could do is have some. But then and then there's the one line that said, hey, what's in this She says, what's in this drink? Almost like alluding to the fact that he puts some kind of a you know, like a bill something. No, I

think she's saying, like, oh, this is good. What's He's not drugging her? In the fifties, Dean Martin wasn't drugging women in the know. But or maybe it's a little the drinks a little strong, like you're trying to get me drunk, so I lose all inhibitions. I mean, I'm not, I'm not. I just wanted to set up the store, is all right, It's it's a it's a it's a

song from the people six months ago, people Christmas. It's a classics personal opinion, I got no problem with that, but whatever it is, what it is, the song is. It was done at a different time, and we should restore class. Should we talk about what Disney did We'll get to that too. That's part two of this so so, but continue on. So John Legend Studio. I like to think they did it so that people here are ridiculous. It sounds I don't think. I would like to hope

they didn't do it. So snowflake radio stations can play it. That's well, that's what I'm trying to get to. The By the way, if you're a snowflake radio station for Christmas, it seems like that it makes sense. Yes, snowflakes, Yeah, you know, Christmas. So he recorded his song. I'm looking for the clip because I had it earlier and it's now gone. Of course everything gets erased, um and and get so here it is John Legend and Kelly Clarkson and baby it's called out. So here's a little clip.

This is the new version. Everybody's familiar with the old one. Well, the dots. I think they should rejoice your body and your eyes. I like side. Now you say no, then you really ought to go. I think that's more offensive. Okay, she said I really should say no, no, no, he says you, then you really should go. Now. People are saying like, oh, that's great because he doesn't want it. He's like, you should leave, girl, because if you don't want to, I get it. You do what you want.

It's actually reverse psychology. But I think no, no. What I think he's saying is, oh, really you don't have sex, you should go. That's what I think he's saying. Can you back up that part right there? You could do that. I think he's saying, oh, really, no, goodbye. That's how I see that. I see her saying, you know, I think that. I think what they meant was I'm saying, and he's like, you know what, if you're not comfortable, I'm not going to take advantage of you. I'll put

you in a car whatever. I think though, it's like, dude, I'm sitting here when I got sucking blue balls, get the funk out. It's like I should say no, but he's like, you should go, you should go. That's worse. He didn't. I'm sorry he did not mean that. When he records in the original song, he's like, you know what, it's cold. I have a warm home. I don't want you to go out in the cold. I worry about you. I care about you? The first song much more sensitive

this one. He's creepy Murray? Is that her cab driver said, Murray just pulled up outside by the way, Why is he and why is he too? Understand? Baby, I understand you can't stay? What's she going? If it's called outside? Why is he telling her to go? What woman? What woman wants a guy to tell her to leave? Well, then she's gonna do. Think she's gonna walk out with it with with a complex. She's gonna like, what's wrong with me? Why don't you want me to stay? And

be wool? I don't get it. Look, if you want to say, I'll sleep on the couch, take the bed, am I and undesirable? I think he should have said, look, if if you want to go, look if it's cold, look if it's stay in my bed. I'll stay in the couch, sleep on the couch. You got locked the door from the inside. It's all good you want to do. But as soon as she said I think I should say no, he's like, you gotta go, Well anyway I want.

My My thought is that I think that for tomorrow, And I thought is he's being tongue in cheek in he wished to he could get the tongue in the cheek in her cheek. Yeah, that would be in a nice version of that song. But I really you know, this politically correct version is maybe made to mock the or the saying the pendulum has swung too far in one direction. So if he could be wrong, if he really spoke that way, isn't he just trying to get in her pants? That's that's wow? This guy is really nice.

He hears about me. That's reverse want to have sex, and now I want to have sex reverse psychologist. That's the cat and mouse game, right, like, okay, all right, maybe maybe you know what I want him now? Wait wait, wait, no, no, don't see a gentleman implies it's her body, it's her choice. You wouldn't say that. You would just be respectful to follow the signs and then not not pursue. You wouldn't go, hey, uh, how'd you like the dessert? I don't know why. I

don't know why they recorded. Maybe they really did unless they really wanted to get the radio makes a clean cut guy Kelly Clarkson's clean cup. Well, you know, it's not like they're like I think they were having fun. I think in the end they were having fun with it. They just had fun with it. They I think it's just like I think it's tongue in cheek. But if it gets air, play will take it. But he's seriously

telling how to leave. Uh. So Disney on Disney Plus put up a little warning because you know, if you watch Friends of the Office, those shows would never fly now. They they gay taunt and they they're they're slightly racist and they fat shame like stuff that is not by today's standard acceptable. But if you watch them, you have to do you have to dispel that and go, you know, suspend your your snow flakery or not. You have to

suspend your from crimin. People are more sensitive now. You have to suspend it and understand that when movies have made in the forties, is gonna be racism and you can't hate on them because that was the time period. So Disney said on Disney Plus, there's a warning that says these movies are in their original format from when they were first made. That was very smart. They may

not beat to today's standards. So um I wrote a couple of things world, Oh, I wrote a couple of jokes down for Elvis today that he did on the show. But I wanted to just read him since we're talking about it. Uh, they've they've they've see what they did with that song. They've changed some Disney movies to make them a little more up to today's standards. So it's now instead of snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, it's Snowflake White and the seven Little People. Right. Uh, beauty

and the less than traditional looking man. I can't call him a beast. That's be shaming. You don't want to be shame. And uh, the lion king or queen. We don't know how he identifies either. So just a little something there, just to keep it in the PC world. But I had a problem with Disney Plus because Verizon, now, you tell me if I'm wrong, tell me if I'm wrong. Yet this is another another It always goes back to

TV and and customer service. Okay, Verizon puts out an ad It says I got one introducing Disney Plus on us starting in November whatever. Whatever. Uh it says, Uh, if you, uh, where's the thing here? It's I want to want to get the verbage right. I took a picture that the took a screenshot. It says, um, if you are a five G uh files customer, if you are a UM unlimited Verizon phone cell phone user, unlimited data, and then it says, you can also get Disney Disney

Plus on US when you get variety Verizon files on Internet. Well, I get it. I've been getting files Internet for like seven years. So I call up and uh, I get god knows what country two weeks ago, and I say, look at my account, And I said, do I qualify for the free Disney Yeah? You qualify? Great, how will that work? We'll send you you an email on the eleventh with your logging and from well you how to set it up the link so you can get it ready for the twelve. Good, You're good to go. Well,

the eleventh comes and goes nothing. I don't get an emails. I called back and I say, here's my account. Now. I get an American woman, I assume she's American, and she says, yeah, you don't qualify. What she says, well, you don't have unlimited data, I know. And you don't have five G while WiFi. I know. So I said, but your website says if I get Verizon Files home Internet, then I can get it for free, and I have that. I get it every month for years. She says it's

only for new customers. I said, your website doesn't say for new customers. It says you. I'm reading it now. You can also get Disney Plus on US for twelve months when you get Verizon Files Home Internet. I said, it says I have to get it. Well I get it. Well no, no, no, they mean doesn't say that. It doesn't say new customers here on your website. It says you have to get it. Well I get it. I'm paying the same as the new people I want it. Oh, yeah,

it doesn't. You don't qualify. Oh really, you know who I wanted to speak to at that point, A manager or supervisor, supervisor. So, uh, I got supervisor on the phone. And my family is expecting Disney Plus tomorrow. And you told me two weeks ago when I called, uh Asia somewhere in Asia, they said I qualify. They said, I get an email. Did they give it to you? Uh? So, really you're gonna jump to the end. Oh, I know I know by the tone of your voice. Well, you know,

because I'm watching the Mandalorian. No, no, no, I know, just by the tone of your voice that this isn't this didn't go to the escalation team. Now that you got your way, you got I got your Well the supervisor came in right when you say it, when I get it, I get it. It doesn't say when you if you with a new purchase. I didn't write that copy. That's not my fault. So I got this plus. So

don't let them screw you over Verizon customers. Get your Disney Plus, get your just desserts that's right, not your free desserts, your trust dessert and then figure it out if you if if upgrading to unlimited is less money than the package of Disney that just to get unlimited, but don't they'll fuck you. They'll try whoever, not just in general companies. You know they will fuck you unless you call them on the carpet. You know this. This this note here that I wrote, I really want to

I really want to do this. But this was the showing up to the party with not enough for everyone and Brodie's note f them. Okay, let's put this aside and think about it if we're gonna do this or not. Because I have something that is really bothering me and I'm gonna need your help. Well, the good thing about what you want to talk about is that she already said she doesn't listen to our podcast, so I think I think it's safe. It's been two weeks. Also, Okay,

let's wait, maybe we'll wait another wait. Okay, but but um, I gotta I gotta tell you something. And this is a customer service issue that I'm going through right now. And then can we talk about our dinner? We can talk about our dinner anything else you want to talk about. And the thirty three dollars I am outraged about and it isn't even my thirty hold on. This is where I'm going with this hold on thirty seven dollars and

thirty cents. All right, I'm already upset. This is um the New York I'm sorry, the United States Post Office. So I had to return a very expensive package to a company. And the only way they will accept it is what's called registered mail, not priority, not next day, It's called registered mail. Registered mail may not be the fastest, but it is the safest way to sense something. You signed some stuff, they sign some stuff, the papers involved,

You go, you bring it to the post office. You have to package in a certain way, and they stamp your box and a hundred different times, and everywhere the package goes Ye, you get an update. You get an update, and the package is under lock and key in the post in that post office. On November five, I walked into this Canal Street post office, the big one, the big one with very few workers, and I paid a premium. They weighed the package. By the way, is this post

office an unassuming post office? No, this is a big as post Put the ass in you and me assume it's a big as post office. In fact, I had a In fact, I put clear tape on it when I packed up the thing. Oh no, you can't. It's gotta be brown tape, and it's gotta be this way. You gotta lick the tape, and it was. It was a really big process. I had to bring it back to the radio station and rebox. The fucking things you gotta be actually helped me out. Think of that, he's

the king of all packaging. Packaging you can't. But I had to RiPP the label off and right and sharpie on the box. They don't want because the label could come off. That They are so particular, follow all their instructions. They put the package on the scale and I said, look, I'm gonna get this to them, the company by November nine, because that's a three day window where this package is due back. Because if it doesn't go back in thirty days,

I don't get my money back. It's the money back guarantee. You item right by the way, slices. I'm with you. Gotta know what's in the package? Go on, I tell you we share things here. Go on. It was an expensive thing. The point is I have it in slices now we definitely have to have fay. Maybe that's the big mystery for this week. What was in the box? So I give it to the post. So they said, oh it's Tuesday, the fifth. We can have it there

on Thursday, November seven. Not a window, not like from the seventh to the twel Okay, fine, where the country was it going? It was going to more more Park, California, more Park, more park, more park than the city, a lot of park, all right, So the fifth cross country? Yes, all right, So what is it gonna do? The package supposed to leave there, go to an airport and go to the airport, plane and go to Los Angeles. Whatever

and then they'll lead dispatch from there or whatever. Great, two days go by, three days go by, four days go by, and now the weekend is coming. And now looking at the package, I'm like, wait a second. The package went on on the fifth of November. It left at night, Okay, I burned at eleven o'clock in the more. You left at night on Canal Street. Then it was reported and uh on the eighth in some zip code in Queens. Then it went to Jamaica for the airport

Jamaican Queens. You're making Queen's Okay, that's seven days later. That's a fucking week later, or a week I'm already over the dew of the thirty days. I called him up yesterday and USPS and like, I'm sorry, we're USPS, We're just customer service. We don't know what goes on

in the local branches. I said, why the fuck does this package which I paid print seven dollars for to be arriving at the seventh when it had to be there by the ninth, Why is it November twelve and in number thirteenth was yesterday and you still don't have the dinner. It's not the package yet, it's not. It didn't even arrive at the local post office. By the way, the package is gonna arrive tonight. It's that's the fourteenth.

It's finally gonna get there tonight. Why did it? Why did the package go ten miles in seven days and to two other post offices and like, yeah, we see a hard skin on this day, we see a hard skin on that day. Did you pay for them to drag it with a rope? What did you pay extra? I paid thirty seven dollars And you know what they said to me? They said, because I said, I want my fucking money back back said to me, said, no,

that's not guaranteed. The only thing that's guaranteed is when you send stuff priority mail and other types of mail, the other services. The post office officers. I'm like, wait a second, I said, I'm not allowed. I wasn't allowed to say. It has to be registered man, the company, I said. But they're like, registered mail is not in short, if you fuck me over and told me on the seventh, They're like, yes, but it's not. It's not a guarantee. It's not a guarantee. So like, so, what the funk

were you doing with my package? For seven days. Why did it go from from sucking? And by the way, everybody knows card. Yes, you should have said to him, I swiped the credit card, but it's not a guarantee. I'm gonna let the charge go through. That's what he should I'm gonna deny the charge. So I said to them, I said, look, I said, look at and somebody's gotta help me out here. And then my leg is shaking.

They said, you gotta go. By the way, the post office we're talking about is literally a hundred feet from the radio station. I'm gonna walk over there after this. That would take the box three days to go from our radio station to that. I just one explanation, why this? Why this thing? And again, if you're not familiar with geography, why I'm gonna go? Yes, why is it go from one post office to two other places? And I know one of them being one of the distribution center the

processing center. But why did it sit for five days in one center? In one center, some guy was using it as a chair or a clark. That's right, Yeah, nobody was sucking moving my package. This is inexpliced. Is on? It is unaccepted? Is on in on? Something? It's inexplicable and unacceptable. Then it could be oh fucking week and a half for my ship to get there. It still hasn't gotten there yet. Did you call the company that I did? Did you have proof of shipment? Though? Oh? Yes,

I have proof that it left here on the fifth? Motherfuck. You see that stamp, Brody, You see that that shows you it left on the fifth. So they're gonna get honor it. But I don't. Someone's gonna pay something here. Where's my free dessert? I gotta get something, book, a stamp, something, something, money back. They're telling me I'm not gonna I don't qualify for my thirties seven dollars back? What kind of services this? This is why the Post Office has suffered.

This is why the United States Post Office u s P S. Motherfucker's what's going on? If youps fucks? Do they have to give you money a week and a half. I'm sitting here waiting. I'm waiting for ship to get there. I just got a notification. It's gonna be they they give you money. Not allowed to use FedEx not allow This company only takes USPS registered mail, the safest way to transport a package but obviously not the quickest. So

I'm trying to grill these people on the phone. I'm like, why in hell did it not leave Canal Street on the fifth, make its way to an airport and then on a plane to California? Why these two other places and a five day lapse before they even thought? Why didn't your parents call an uber for the package to get it to the airport. This is what I want to know. I honestly, here's the thing. On the one hand,

other than the aggravation, Yeah, you you shipped it. You're off the hook that I and the company's not holding it anything. Now, what was in the box? Wait? Let me finish? Fuck you United States Post Office? Oh yes, the best part you have? Fuck you United usps usps, f usps, f usps or f usps. Yeah, that's bad. That is the That is disgusting, not even disgusting. No, nothing, And they're not and they're not even gonna tell me why. I just want to know where the fund this package was.

I want to see it's so secure that it's got cameras following it. I want to see where it was for seven days? Show me the video. Where's the video? Why is this fucking things sitting in Some guy in Canal Street was using it to play three called Monty it left Canal Street. I will give him that it left on that day, But where it went? And why? Ping pong to three of the post offices ten miles away before I got on a plane on the twelfth. How long does it take to get to the airport?

So I didn't call it an uber. I know you and your package problems. I don't shut up, dick. This is the first ever time, by the way, if you notice, I've never had a problem shipping anything anywhere ever, and the one time I'm forced to use the United States Postal Service. No wonder why FedEx and UPS and DHL are eating you for lunch. It's bad when you have to bring even dhe DHL. You know why? Why how do you if you read DHL, what does it sound like? Hell? No,

dil fuck dil. By the way, still the DILL episode one or three, going through the roof people listening three or four times. I'll tell you my three dollars story. Yeah, you tell me that that I almost jumped through the computer screen where the text messages come tonight. So Elvis did a book signing last night in Staten Island from what six to nine? Yeah? All right, So apparently the way it worked was you bought a ticket to the event, and the ticket included a copy of Elvis's book and

and he gets signed. So like, let's say whatever, he paid thirty three dollars a copy of the book sign and you got a ticket to come in and get online. Well, the turnover, the turnout rather was tremendous, but he agreed to stay until nine signing books. So we get a text message that says, and by the way, I want a job fixed my microphone here. I want a job doing for a living what this person who texted in does for a living. So they texted they say, hey, I got a little I got to the book signing

a little late last night, a little bit late. They wouldn't let me in. What do I do? I said, Well, that doesn't seem right. Our friends at Barnes and Noble arranged the whole thing and they wouldn't turn you away if you got get late, I said, But they did end at nine o'clock. So what time did you get there? So I said, well, that's beyond I mean bonds and Noble was closing. They can't let you in if they're closing. Yeah, it's on them, right, I said, it's on them. I said,

but here's what you do. Bonds and Noble is a good company, reputable company. I'm sure if you tell them you got there late, you had a problem, flat tie is sick, dog whatever, you didn't get the book. So I'm sure they'll give you the book, right, I said, maybe we can get it signed for you, or just get your money back. But then I gonna, you know, screw you over. They they wrote back. Now, I'm getting a little anxiety just telling you that, Like I'm tearing up.

They wrote back, it's only thirty three dollars. No, because well, you know what, I'll just I'll just write this one off. What kind of job do you have? What kind of income do you have? We're thirty three dollars. There's no big deal. I paid thirty three dollars. I was late. It's not worth thirty three dollars to call the store and asked for credit. How rich? If there The thing is, if they feel they have no argument and they're in the wrong, then then that they can That's there suffrage.

That's the price, the penalty they pay for being late. They're like, well, you know what, No, I I have to This is the thirty three dollar attacks I have to pay because I sucked up? How were they raised by wolves? Who? In that case, they're admitting, they're admitting that they were wrong. Yeah, but so you say, hey, you know, okay, so let's say, I mean you don't want to give back the lost part? How much of

the book twenty dollars? Twenty three okay, so the eleven dollars that was going to Barnes and Noble for the right to get in and getting it signed. So you know what, Barnes keep the eleven dollars Noble and by the way, as a reminder, it's not Barns and Nobles, Barns Noble. Guy's name is Noble. Hey can I get a copy of the book? Can I? Can I get a credit for the website? Yeah? You give me a gift cardie that little something give you. The person walked

away empty handed. We have nothing, no book, because that was how would at least asked for the book? How do you go? Thirty three dollars? He had me the thirty three dollars, I'll get a copy of Elvis's book. I'll get it signed. Tell you what that person he didn't even call and find his own complaint. He had his, but he had his, He had his servant to do it for him. Yeah, can you let me know if you have a job or if you were raised in

such a way? Well you are you non confrontational? He's like, yeah, man, thirty three dollars you have piste over thirty seven because you didn't get your box in the place you gotta get it to. There are you three dollars? The principal? You know much pizza? We could have bought a chicken palm sandwiches or I know, Brodie music downloads. There are three dollars.

And and by the way, the story we were alluding to earlier with the not bringing the party Monday, uh, I posted it at David Brody, the picture of scary fucking up the picture with the giant wings in the park across the street where he stood behind the wings instead of in front of them. Yeah, the butterfly wings. But and I you're supposed to have the wings at your back, so you're supposed to be in front of them, right to create that illusion. I

was in back of the wings. It looks like the wings were coming from in front of me, like wings, wing tits, tits. Yeah, yeah, you suck that up. Um Okay, so I'll tell you. I want to tell you who sent it to me for us before I, uh, where is it? Damn it? Oh? Oh? I wrote a town at Dave H.

It's fine, guy says, do anything to drink? I said, yeah, I'll take a diet cocoa on ice, and Scary very kindly says, listen, I'm gonna order a drinks that okay? Because he knows I don't want to chip in for his drink, He's like, are we drinking? I was like, listen, you do whatever

So I started asking the way there some questions and he's answering me, but he's he's he's standing next to me at the table, but looking at Scary. So I'm like, oh, what's on the burger? And he's looking at Scary giving Scary the answers, which was weird. Did you not find that weird? Found

that a little odd? Like he had a thing for you or I was your wife and he was like, you know, looking at the man was just scared of you. Was like, oh my god, I heard about this guy. We didn't hear about the guy? Okay? So scary, scary. We all. I wanted the mac of the black pepper mac and cheese. I said, Scar, you have to have it. No, like, well, I'm gonna try it because the black pepper mac and cheese sounds good. I ordered the black pepper mac and cheese. Scargis, Well,

what else we know? What appetizes? I said, well, what else shall we have? You know how much we're gonna eat? He says, you gotta have the chicken fritters, the corn fritters, the excellent. Of course. I'm like, I gotta trust this guy now. He's corn frit is a great and they come in a sauce. What kind of sauce? Scary? I don't know. It's good all right, doesn't pimento cheese, sauce whatever? Whatever it was? So then he says, uh, you like eggplant right? Like, no, no, I don't. He says, I

think we should get the eggplant and white bean. Hummus, scary. That doesn't sound like me at all. But if you want that, I got the mac and cheese. No, we'll split it. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna pay half now for this white bean. He doesn't he knows, you asked me, what a straight face would I eat the eggplant olive oil, white bean dip thing when I don't need any of that. Really, I'm like, it's scary. I'll be nice. You drove. You were very nice, you drove.

We'll talk about that Monday. So we order the appetizers. Then we're looking at the menu and I'm like, the menu is very fufu, very fufu. It's something good with something weird and another thing weird. It's nothing was like normal, nothing like steak and potatoes. It was all like roasted halibit with a spar It was which you did not tell me. You said this place is great. I said scared meat, meat like damn meat, damn meat, potatoes dam potatoes. Okay,

so it's all bougie food. On the side, menus says, uh, burger on a brioche bun. When I see brioche, I already know it's bougie because it ends in O s O. H. Put it on a bun. If you describe the bun, you bougie. If you put on a pretzel bun, now you got me. But it was a brioche bun. Okay, fine, So I ordered the hamburger without the pickle, and uh with the cheese I want, and uh tomato and bacon whatever. Okay, well, okay, so now the appetizers come out. By the way, strike one.

My diet coke comes out, like I talked about a couple of weeks ago. It's a small bottle of soda. Okay, right, unrefrigerated. No, no, no, so I already know that. No, no free refills because now that they're charging me for bottle. Ordered the burger and Scary orders his thirty five dollar tend de loin or whatever it was dollar burger it was it was pork, all right, it was pork, Okay, it was the other white meat. The appetizers come out. I don't know where

to begin. Sit down, people, I'll start off by saying, the the black pepper machine ready, hold on, get it ready, the black pepper mac and cheese was the best mac and cheese I ever had in my life. So but but Scary says, you go to Troy to corn fred Is. I'm like, so, I'm like, all right, I know the bad because the mac cheese is great. So I had the corn for it. Isn't that cheese? Pimiento sauce a

little on the boogie side. Fantastic. I'm getting angry. Now you're getting angry that you're not becoming angry that you've got nothing to get angry about. I'm like, this is really good. It's delicious. So he says, oh, they bring out a plate of peter and then it's to dip in the ship. Warm warm peter, like toasted, like little brown spots on, perfectly toasted, nothing wrong with it. So I go, you know what, I'll try the white bean hummus.

Because it's white bean. It's like putting a blender. I'll try it. So I put a I put a little bit and there's no dill on it, by the way, and there's olive oil. So I take a little olive oil, a little bit of the white bean. I put a little bit of tip on the on the bread. I'm like, and I tasted it. It was delicious. It was it was perfect fluffy. So I knew. I knew at this point there was gonna be something wrong, something, something's coming.

I knew the burger was coming. So I ordered the burger and I said to the guy, can I have your gallic mashed potatoes instead of the French fries, and he looks right as scary and he says, absolutely no eye contact. Okay, all right, and you want some of that pimento cheese sauce from from the from the from the cornference, which was perfect, perfect, and the sauce was fantastic. He says, I'm gonna have to charge you for that. So I looked at him and I gave him a

straight look, and I went, okay. So he brings the burger out, Yes, he does, right, And on the side of the burger is the little pimento cheese and little catch Up which I loved ketchup and it was I said, well kind of catch up? He says, it's Hines, and it was Hines. So I look at the burger which I ordered with just cheese, bacon and tomato, and I lift the butt up and what's on it? Scary cheese,

bacon and tomato. Nothing was wrong with the burger. How the taste was the spurger I've had monthsto was spectacular. Holy sh it, this is going to be the only restaurant Brody goes to ever again. There was no anywhere else. There was no green stuff on top of the potatoes, meal. Brody needs to go to this restaurant, Matthew's Food and Drink in Jersey City. Brody could find nothing wrong with it. He tried, folks, He looked high and low. He tried. He even like got up out of his chair. I

looked under the table, looked under the sea. Table didn't wobble. He was looking for ship, hey, slices. I'm so annoyed. He was fucking looking for something to bitch about, just one thing. He hold on, hold on when they packed up my food because I couldn't finish it. They gave me a fresh pimiento sauce to make sure I had enough on my right home. Fuck that, fuck you, there you go. It was perfectly packed up, the perfect meal.

You sons of pitches. They're killing my bidd's foiled. He was waiting, he was looking for something to complain about. He was so on it. It was the best white bean tip I ever had. I saw it. I saw the look in his eyes from the second we walked into place. He when down the aisles. He was looking for some And the check came and Scary's vodka and Tito's and soda, and his food was more expensive. And I said, you know what, we'll split it in half. I didn't care. It was so good and I hated it.

It was perfect. I can never go back there again. Of course I missed. I left that restaurant, not ever getting to meet the manage. They solved you, They solved you. They I don't even know what the manager looks like. If I wanted a shirt, I would have had to pay for it. That's right. Fuck that place because it was perfect. Never going there again, never nouch.
