#117: Say No To The Clap

Brooklyn Boys podcast on a Friday. I say that that you can be listening to this any day of the week. Yeah, but no, this is a frid a vibe, right, Friday is a different vibe than when we do this on Thursday, which means a couple of things. Number One, we feel like we're out of here for the weekend once we're done,

until we're in the studio. Scary hates that's right, because Friday's mean we can't record in the place that we normally record, and that is our studio where we do the Elvis Rand Morning Show, which by the way, is a much sweeter sounding studio. This one here is crap. I mean, you still sound sexy being belligerent. He still sound good. You know, I just hate it. You know what else though about this that people can't see the awful walls. The yes, the atmosphere in this room still sucks.

It's green, lime green painted walls in this studio. So we moved into this studio where we're standing now in two thousand eight, and it was ugly back then. But now it's twelve years later and it's dirty and scuffed and dreary. Light bulbs are missing, others are out right. The equipment is sticky, dirty. I mean they need they have. When is the last time they took a dust? But okay, So here's what this room is used for. Friday Brooklyn

Boys podcast one some every other month or whatever. Walkers and Talkers my other podcast, we did every every weekend here and then the other jocks who work at the New York is he on your radio station we work at come in here to record stuff. We also attempt to do phone taps in here. Right, this is the one of the phone tap studios. Yesterday on Walkers and Talkers Episode one six nine. Hello, Jamie and I were gifted with a with a drop in from Joe Gatto

from The Impractical Jokers. Oh right here in this studio. Yeah, well, because he's he's plugging the hell out of the movie and the Impractical Jokers movie, which I saw. It was weren't you embarrassed to show him this studio? Like this is so Monday? He was on the Elvis straight In Morning Show with us Joe. Joe's an old friend from the show. I think he's gonna be on with Mo Bounce on the five o'clock whistle. Right, he's coming back

here to record to do with Mo Bounce. So he was here recording some other stuff yesterday, and so he walked in on our podcast. He's like, hey, guys, that's cool. But then he introduced himself because hey guys, hey Brodie James, Hey, it's Joe Gatto from The Impractical Jokers. Like I go, Joe, you to do your own introductions. I would have said it out, well, I'm embarrassed that he had to see this largely ignored room. Yeah. Well here's the thing. You know,

we had Joe on this podcast. Yes, all right, okay, so just a brief reminder, Joe was a listener of Z one Morning show, that morning show, and he used to he hung out with us. He used to send in song parodies and try to, like, you know, contribute, right if you listen to the Joe Ghatto episode of The brook Boys podcast, we talked about it. But in summation, Danielle and I also um hung out with him when

we had a South Street support contest. It was those early two thousands, and it was a dance contest or something, and Joe got up and won the whole damn thing. I think he won a trip. He he and he was just a listener at the time who he had known from coming up here with his video camera on another occasion. Right, So he was so look, he did well for himself, right, but back in the the biggest celebrity I know, right back in the day, he was

the guy who was a fan of our show. And he would come up and I said to him, I guy, I always did my best to make you feel like you were part of the family, not like you were just a listener, because we all we love all of our listeners. But he was interactive with us. He tried to contribute, tried to help whatever, so he has to invite me to come to improv with him and his friends, who are now the Impractical Jokers. I knew Mar separately

from some other things. I didn't know they knew each other. So, as it turns out, I said to him on this on the Walkers and Talkers podcast one six nine, I said, so, how did you guys figure out that I knew both of you independently? He said, well, I knew you guys for a couple of years. Marr says to me one day, James Murray, he says, hey, uh, he name dropped you. Brody. He goes, I know David Brodie from the Morning Show. I've been working with him on this other thing I

know for years. We are you talking about what you should call marroup You should maybe have some drinks with the guy. Yeah, well I just I didn't call him anyway. My point was, so he's he's Joe is standing next to Jamie, my co host, and he's hugg and I was like, oh, let me get a picture. So I take a picture of the two of them. You'll see it on at Walkers on the Score Talkers, and then I said, hey, Joe, come over here, I'll get a picture. He goes, Oh, you want to prove to people that

you know me? Oh, now, the tables are I never heard that. He said it in a funny way. But I'm like, quite an, I understand you have a movie and a hit TV show, but let you know, I said, Joe, there was a time when I was on the radio sort of and you weren't. I didn't throw it in your face. He's like, well, we got a movie something. So it was funny. It was just a funny moment where like, oh, does that get released wide this weekend?

So it was only in select theaters as they say, And now so they are, the four of them have been going around to all of the movie theaters, showing up at at the screenings. So Joe and I know, Joe and Murder definitely are again doing it this weekend all over the New York area. And I don't know where the two guys are, but they were in Cleveland, Indianapolis, Texas, they were Philly, they were all over the country. Fantastic, Yes,

so there a great promotion. I love that. I love when the celebrities from the movie up to the movie. It's weird. I don't know if you guys listened to the podcast to have any any friends have been in movies. I've had friends who were in TV shows. Yeah, no, I'm yeah, but I'm never in a movie. Imagine being imagined being in the theater and then all of a sudden, you know, Jake Jillen Hall just walks, well, yeah, but it's I'm saying. It's weird though, when you see your

friend in the movie. Yeah, that's that's really weird. Right. So I tweeted as I'm sitting in the movie theater, I tweeted at the Jokers saying, looking forward to seeing the movie. I'm here. Joe tweeted me back as I'm sitting in the movie watching the movie, and all I could think about was like looking around, going see that guy he's tweeting, he's tweeting me right now. It was weird.

It's weird because you're you're laughing, you're enjoying it. Then you go, those guys are my friends and they're in a movie. Yeah, that's weird. It's weird. It's a weird feeling. I'm I can't wait to check it out. It's really good. But you know what they did that thing. Have you done this? Have you been in the theater or at the end people clape lands yeah, yeah, do you clap? No, I don't because, first of all, the people who filmed

the movie can't hear you. So the only reason why you to, you know, you know, do a round of applause, is so to show your acknowledgement and your happiness and your appreciation of that of that. Okay, but or are you doing it so that everyone else knows you're in on the joke and you got it? Oh? Yeah, you know.

I loved it too. Yes, that's what I felt like, because people were looking around, they were doing don't applause the movie and stupid, I know, But I feel like people didn't want to like not be the person clapping and like be the one who didn't get the joke said that for a minute, people applauding, like yeah, okay, we're here applauding with each other. But the people nobody who had anything to do with the film, from the director of the writer to anyone in it, is here

to hear that applause. So why I don't know? And you know, and the reason why people it happened when I I just got back from Columbia. I went to Columbia and as I landed in Metagan, there was a big uproar of applause and screams when the plane hit. Was the turbulence not really, it was a smooth the plane hit the ground wouldn't be you know what I'm talking about. As soon as the wheels touched the ground, all the applause came out. And I listen. Some people

say it's a cultural thing, and I know you. Some people are gonna come at me with that, But I gotta say, did you expect any other ending? Hello? Here's okay? So I mean to have to assume that the plane is going to lane every time. It's the hope. And so it goes against what you said. So you said, don't clap in a movie theater because nobody in who made the movie unless Joe shows up and he's there. But the pilots came here, you clap, But that steals not sound proof. It's are you gonna trying to say

you you clap for the pilots? Okay, well that's what you're doing in a great job, guys. Ultimately, that's what you're doing. But here's the thing. But that's to the pilots. Okay, did you expect anything less from us? That means you're expecting us to crash. If you go to a Broadway show, right and people form, you expect them to sing well, but you still clap. You let them know they did

a good job. But if you're the captain, let's say you're the guy fly on the plane, do you take that as they're appreciative of what I just did my years of training, or do you take it as what they like you said so they think I was going to fail the ladder? Yes, because in that situation it's an insult. But at the end of a show, you ever thank the chef at a restaurant and said, hey, great job, thank you, it was a great meal. Yes, by not vomiting, right, But if the chef comes out

comes op, oh my god. Yeah, John George, the famous guy that it was a one. It was an occasion place. And by the way, don't get the jingle because they're not a client. He came. I was. I was with my girlfriend on the last Valentine's Day and we were at his restaurant, and all of a sudden, he came over to the tailor that's John George. So he came over and I don't know if he was fishing for compliments. He was just he's just a fancy chef. Google John George.

Don't tweet us, okay, And anyway, he just know he's he's one of the he's one of the James Beard Michelin, dudes, Okay, is he the kind of guy that would wear that tie tyed shirt that you had? No, he's a chef. What was that shirt? Company? Theory? Theory. So he comes over,

he goes, how is the meal? And my grandfriend I were like it was great, and he said, we're kicking each other the table because to us he's a celebrity and we're eating at the namesake of his flagship, and he is there in New York and he was back there cooking or at least watching, okay, and and so I'm sitting there and and so yeah, of course, my

compliments to the chef. Okay, if you're getting off a plane and the pilot is standing there by the door with his hat off and his casual thanks for flying Jed Blue whatever, you know, what do you say, do you smiled? You got a smile? And I say, thank you, thank you What are you thinking for? Thank you for the but are thanking for thank you for his services, which we're what which is flying a plane? Which is doing his job? They're doing his job. Yeah, right, So

he's not worthy of applause. He saved your life, he kept you alive. I understand that, but I just think they take it as an insult if you applaud What if they what if they were general and junkies and live for the applause. What if they're like, we're gonna how he goes? What if they lands beautifully soft landing for the applause? Lady right? Yeahs is them? So what if they had turbulence and it was windy and they landed they just pillowed it right, and then they look

at each other and go fucking nailed it. And then they hear the applause, they go, yeah we did. Yes, No, because they know that they that applause is that they didn't fail, and that's it. That's a slap in their What if that was not for a great performance. First of all, the perfect, the flawless performance of of of a of a pilot is expected. Anything less, anything less is deaf. No, it's hoped no, because you can bounce.

You can bounce it at the runway. You've been on planes where they go boo right, sometimes they just go you've had the boxer okay, but you get a bouncer. Sometimes you applaud. What if you applaud at a bounce. I think, well, how about this, that's still that's out of fear. Hold on. What if it bounces and you're like, that wasn't the best landing in a well, you just go, you give me a golf clap? What if they're going, motherfucker's I landed a ton ton plane, a hundred ton plane,

whatever it is. I just flew eight hours, right, and all I got was a golf one bounce. I saved like this guy flew hundreds of people, landed them safely. Because he bounced once, you don't get applause. The rest of the flight was perfect. So I think, okay, well, I see it both tip right, he's gonna get. But it's it's expected that that the outcome of the job has to be that you arrive alive every time, and

it's on a plane when it comes to it. If you're gonna talk about a show, a live play or theater show in front of you with his live performances. I think the applause of the standing ovation is for a you guys did an outrageous job. What if the pilot, because if you did, you did you flights you've got on flights where they go. I just want to let you know we're gonna be experiencing choppy air for the

next six to nine minutes. They give you advanced notice, and if you look out the window, you'll see something you wanted to see. They give you that information, and he talks to you, and maybe they tell you a joke. I've had pilots. You want to know you're not You're not clapping at the end of the flight for that, I might the joke's good. I like a pilot who tells me when the turbulence is coming, we're gonna level

chop a little chop. What he should say is the plane will be shaking violently and falling for no reason in the sky, but we're having a little bit of chop. I do think, I do think right like, that's the same, a little a little bit of choppy. Unlike that salad place you visited, that's no cho chop. Nice call back and yeah, all right, so that's it. So clapping in the movie theater, no clapping on a plane, no for you, that's a note for you dog right, No, there's that's

that's a hard no that that. I rolled my eyes when I hear when I hear. What about clapping for a subway performer? Different? You're you're appreciating a performance that was unexpected. See it was an unt want your applause. They want your money. So what if you're like, I have no money, but yes, yes that was great. Will you flipped on the seats? You drummed down that bucket When there's an unexpected result in a happy way, you can't. You can't subway performer, because if you clap, they expect

money now to follow up the clap. The clap is not good enough. So that's why nobody claps. You all go yeah, you look down on hearing you turned to the presson you love to go, Hey, Mary, how's it going? You don't even know, right, if you've never been a New York subway. Just so you know, when the doors stop at certain train stations, performers will get on your car. They'll go from like car seven to car eight, and then they'll come and do their routine and then they

ask for money. As the trains pulling in, there's a lot of acrobatics going on. There's acrobatics, there's dance numbers, they're singing, there's stand up comedy, all kinds of stuff. So you have to decide where youre gonna get money or not. Then if you carry a wallet, you gotta like you can't take you wallet. O. No, you got to get to keep train money in your front pocket. Yea, that's what I did in Columbia. Kept well, I kept money loose money in one pocket the side. Do I

keep a dummy wallet? I've done that. Well, I'll have a wallet with a couple of credit cards that don't care about and no idea. So where they go give me your wallet? If ever happens to me, I give him something I don't care about. You do or if they say give me your money, you have a stunt wallet, Well, I don't put my money in my wallet. So what I'll do is, that's great, I'll if I leave the hotel something, But I got like seven old wallets that I just see. You give them the fake wallet you

give me, I can actually find the cheapest wallet. I had put some inspired ship there, maybe look real and maybe tucking like three three four dollars in there, the amount thing you would have wanted to tip them whatever, like like a bunch of a bunch of singles in the twenties, So it looks like there's more in there because you don't want them to be unhappy. It's you were your life start warth twenty. By the way, if a guy muggs you and let you live, you clap. Yes,

I kept this cool, did a great job. Hey, you know what you look like you need it? Good with it, he said, Please give me your wallet. Appreciate that. Good job? All right? Um, yeah, so I was I telling about I came Yeah, I came back from Columbia. So, oh my god, we've been off for a week. We even addressed that. Yeah, so this is our first show back in a couple of weeks, so we should be real fresh out the kitchen right now, fresh out the kitchen. Well, yeah, so we had a week and then we took the

extra day this week. Yeah we did. But that's okay. Well, you don't owe anybody free dessert unless we skip together. Here's the thing, No, I saw the tweet, So Megan, Megan and Madelini, I can't believe you even entertained that. I thought you were gonna be like, no, no no, no, no, no, you gotta call her out on that. My did I'm gonna she said, I want my free dessert. There's no free dessert in this case. Even as not even we deserve a bonus episode, you don't hashtag slice for life now.

First of us, I wrote back, I've trained you well too well, so I give her credit. She got all the slogans right, she got all the all my catch phrases. She put me first, which great. Uh, But bonus episode for one day late. That's not you know, that's not that's not even. That's not even even. That's not even. It's not even, it's not even. We're just a day late. And at what percentage of our audience listens on Thursday. Struggling with this, we had a problem. We could not

do the podcast. First of all, I know, Brodie your hell bent against this. I felt not doing it. I want to. I want to. I'm gonna tell you what it's you. I'll tell you why you're not doing because if we do what you want, then if we're late. We could be late four days this we're gonna be

late one day. I want to move the podcast to Monday or Tuesday so people have something I think we'll get We'll get more listeners per episode because during the week, people remember, oh, I gotta listen to the podcast, and if they miss it Monday, they get it Tuesday, Thay, by Friday, we got a lot of I don't know. I think we should. We should move to the beginning

of the week. Then they'll just listen two days earlier, and then eventually it'll seem like two days later because it'll seem like they're listening to the Thursday episode three days four days later on the Monday. So there's no winning with this early podcast. But I feel like I released a chieving moved. Can't move it. I My schedule

will not allowed less. We pushed the Thursday and Friday to the next Monday, and then you get a bonus episode, you get free, but then it's late, So technically we're early for Monday, the fresh off the weekend, with so many ideas on a Monday, But my life happens during the week. That's when my well, my ship happens. If my customer service ship and my rants and all that's during the week. My weekend is all family stuff. We

should compromise with Wednesdays. Wednesday's Walker's Wednesday. That's who listens to that? Wow, the number I haven't seen that. I haven't seen that one in the I Heart Radio Top one hunts not because it's a niche podcast, exactly right, This is not This is speaking of, by the ways, upset ranking. Really, by the way, we are really rank ranking in our I Heart Radio Top one hundred. This week we came what was it, number sevent looking I still scrolling, the still scrolling. How did we take such

a tumble unless other podcasts listenership went up? No, the problem was we took a week off, so we had zero listenership for that episode that we didn't do. So this was weird. We came off a vacation week with number six orner nine one. Yeah. Yeah, So here's here's what our real problem is. When we took off a vacation in December. Yeah, yeah, the December vacation and before that was the end of August vacation. You guys binge the hell out of our episodes. The latest episode before

vacation went through the roof, right, everybody caught up. So we thought when we go on vacation up to like episodes thirteen sixteen would be like boom. But I think everyone was on vacation along with us, because late night talk shows were on vacation TV shows when reruns The Walking Dead didn't come back till this Sunday after the week. Well we have to do something about that us. Well, we can't go back in time, that's true. Well, anyway

we can go going forward, we can. And nobody has answered me as to why episode one hundred has less listenership than people think. It's assume it's a recap episode. I renamed it. It's got it's got a new name. Now name new name. It's new to you, seems like a new episode. Go listen to one everyone, Come on. You know you're the person that tweeted us and said they need two episodes a week, and I and and they said, and I said, they said, and you know why.

They said they listen to six to seven episodes a day at work. How do you get through that many? And in a manner you can't be paying attention to all this content they did, and in a matter of then you're gonna lose your job because you're not paying attention to your work. In a matter of a couple of weeks, caught up to all of our episode. How is that possible? I don't know how you sit through it.

I mean, I find this entertaining, but six to seven hours of it, God, bless, I know a lot of I know all the truck drivers listening, all the guys women who drive for a living can do that. It's a lot of scream and yelling and cursing. Yeah, well you do that a lot, alright. So you know I never told you about my trip to the Mutz factory. I wanted to, Oh my god, the mud story. I have a mud story. You going first with your mud story? Well you no, I went to go see how the

Mutz is made, right. I gotta say what they do at the at this place, Lee. I can't say, oh, no, they're not they are not a client. So I could say it, how did you and join up there? Leoni's muzzadel. Leoni's so there. So when you get um sometimes when you get fresh muzzadel and I don't know what parts of the country don't experience this but the country mazzarella

he's talking about, we should get mutzi stick um. But there's a it comes in this wrap, this plastic wrap you know sometimes and it's a big giant ball of fresh mutts and it comes in a like saran wrap that's wrapped up really tight and tied up, and then when you buy it, it's just a giant ball of white muzzaedel inside the plastic wrap. So people like to experience that. I saw a little trick of the trade at Leone's, so I I thought everything was, you know, handmade, which,

by the way, are you outing them? I'm not outing them, I'm I'm it's clever. I'm talking about a clever thing that they do. Okay, now, the much is still absolutely done. You know, the people are surrounding it, the mucharel is going into the water. It's they're making it. It's all. It's all legit, it's and it is, seriously the French, the best fresh monson I've ever had in my life. They do something to it in there. There has some

extra ingredient in there. Anyway, The point is, I said, well, you guys have this huge assembly line with all this stuff going on, and you guys are known as the best much at el in the Northeast. Why is it that, bro, you may want to hold your ears? Why is it that you have all these You must have thirty people at saran wrap wrapping stage as they come off the line. Remember the Isle of Lucy episode from the with the chocolate cup, You know, the candy one where Lucy and

ethel a belt candy. So picture that. When it's all said and done, the muzzadel is coming off the conveyor belt and it's just so I said, you know, why don't you go into like some kind of an automated packaging system the funk are you talking about the the famous best in the world? I know? So you know

what they have. They have about thirty suran wrapping stations where people are standing with his one person per seran wrap per station, and then I and then there's another one, another one another one, all in a huge U shape around this huge conveyor, and the muchadel comes, spits out the thing and it goes through the conveyor and all

the way around. So if you the first person misses it, the second person grabs it, and then and so on it so so by the time all the MutS gets along around the entire thing, someone will have grabbed it, with it on the suran wrapping thing, hand wrapping, cut it and put it back on the conveyor. Why was that covering my ear? Because the fact is that the mutts is you would think you would you would think

that the entire process he's done by stain it. But no, But I'm like, well, you guys could save some money if you do. So you know what he said? He said to me, I said, shut the funk up? No, he said, he said, doesn't it take you back? Doesn't it? Isn't there something special to be said for because they could save a whole lot of money by automating it, but they don't. Isn't it amazing how you could just you know, when you get it in the store, it's

hand wrapped by somebody and your hand unwrapping it. You see what I'm saying, Brodie, you're taking the suran you you feel like the entire thing was done like for you from someone's grandma, just the way you remember it when you were a kid. So what they're trying to do is they're trying to trying to keep it as a grandma as they can. Yeah, but but I think it's brilliant. I'm not That's why they're the best. I'm not ripping them for Do you want a machine pulling

it like taffy? No? I I just think that they would have automated. They have to turn in your Italian card. I just I think it's brilliant what they're doing, because oh no, no, no no, no, when you find a fresh MutS in the store, you got to take the nice to know you. Did you pull the MUDs that I pulled? I didn't pull the MutS? No, I did not. I didn't. They wouldn't let me mirror. It's look at these hands. Don't blame me. I mean, would that would have They

would have shut down the factory. They would have gotten to you for unsatisfactory in the well a couple of days after you had this experience. We we've dealt with a company, not a sponsor of ours. They're a local company in this in New York, obviously local and they only show up at street festivals and sporting arenas. They have one location in Chelsea Market. Chelsea Market is on

the lower West side of Manhattan and it's old. It was the Nibisco cookie factory, right, okay, um and uh or then the National Biscuit Company, that's what it is company, which is what Nibisco stands for, right, National Biscuit NBC, right the originals, not the TV. And this building now, in addition to being the home of the Food Network and MLB Network, it is all upscale, niche food. A

great place to get free fresh tea, amazing pizza. Sounds like, yeah, it is your kind of place, but like it's like a food court, a massive never ending food food, food, food kiosks of everything, but the best of everything. And so this this company Big Motts and Mozz I call MutS, but it's Big Mots. They call it, like for motzle or whatever. The best Motsarel sticks I've ever had. Oh yeah, they've come up here, right, A few times. They were at the Wine and Food Fat Stavill Right, So I

had them for free there. I had them for free here a lot. I've never paid for them, right, but I thought, you know what I'm I'm I had to do some business at the Levi store. I mentioned that for reason I'm gonna talk about Levi Store. And so I was like, oh, no, leavisor I don't remember that commercial. I remember the levis, remember that that that that big voice leavisor no that from your childhood? I remember, okay

before here, Yeah, okay. So I was like, you know, I'm gonna go over to the Chelsea Market and get me some some big MutS Montsrel sticks. So I go there and I go up to the register, and uh, I'm like, you know what. They only sell three in a cup. I think it's three. They're long like cigars. They're unbelievable. So I'm gonna go three of them. We're gonna be like, how much do you do you think it would be three? Three? For three more sticks for they're huge six bucks? Okay. You go to Applebie's you

get eight for like nine dollars. Yes, okay, but I think these are extraordinarily so for three sticks, right, So I'm thinking you so I thought, you know what, I probably could eat six normally I'll take some home. So I'm gonna maybe I get two orders. They don't have a menu up on there. There's no menu. There's just signs at say, meat balls and different things whatever. They

sell their Motorrellali sticks. They don't say how many you get? Oh, how much they are, so you gave them twent so I so I said that can I get some Motrell sticks? How much are they? It was, I have no idea she had them before. I said, yeah, she's same price. So I said, I've never paid for them. And it's like it's a joke. She looks at me and she goes, what do you steal them? She looks at me and says, oh my god. She right, well because she had come

up here with the people that brought the montarels. So the story is he still hasn't paid for them. No, that's not correct. That is not correct. So then the guy comes up. Remember me, that wasn't what I was doing at all. So the guy comes over who had come up that morning, one of the owners, who who who brought friars up here and they fried them fresh for us. He was, hey, bron going, he was exactly. We were just talking about, Uh, we're starting up mozaralla classes.

You should come. Do you want to any time you want, You don't have to pay, We'll bring you in. You can come to the Mozarella classes. You can pull some mozalla. Would you like to do that?

But you sang over the lyrics to the song opener today. I did that. You did that, you don't care. But

that's not all I did. When I went to get something from the printer. You suck. See Now I could go, I could go and delete that, but I won't because that's the way. We don't know about our podcast. You know something? I was speaking of editing podcasts serial Killers. They are just serial killers, but pretty much everything on your top one hundred that's ahead of us. And they spent three or four hours in the lab the lab, just editing their podcasts. Why don't you just be real

and do a show, do a podcast? And I wasn't do it. I wasn't calling our friends at the serial Killers podcast out. I just saw a scary Scotty edit us out. Something about the podcast world in general, What are they hiding that they all have to be edited. We don't do that. I don't know some of them list editors, like when we went to the podcast, like like to thank our producer and our editor, just going

and talking to microphones. We do, I mean absolutely needs to come out, like like a lapse of time, which occasionally says something promoting like an evil government. You can't say that, but we don't add it. Very often. We don't have any yet. Sometimes we've gone podcasts at a time without the same. Sometimes you say horrible things about women, We take that. Otherwise, we come on now, stop it, stop bad. You actually been with me in Columbia, Well

you shouldn't, you know what. I apologize. When you asked me that, I said, no, I don't ask you anymore because you got a wife and kids. You're coming away with the boy. I absolutely would have come if you asked me. I went with the Hoboken boys. You know they're a different breed. I got food and drink shames. You know. I was just coming off my doctor fat lost diet and the sorry. So friends of my sorry, let's stay with my friends. What won't true friends do?

They would support each other? Dude, I'm two days done from the detox that I was on forty four days. That's one of my that's one of my favorite Drake songs. Two days done from the dtime. Two days No, seriously though, And and I'm with my boys, and these guys want to experience the best of Metaine, like top notch restaurants, and I don't blame them for it. I do too. So we get to the restaurants, we get to the drinks, and I'm like, look, guys, just so you know, I'm

still I'm going in easy. I'm still not doing carbs and sugar. But the good news is I can eat of what I wasn't able to eat earlier. So I'm back. I'm eating oil, I'm eating fucking fats, I'm eating all this stuff. I'm eating great food, like almost like a Keto situation at this point, not a sponsor. So I'm saying the Keto just in case you were gonna hit it. I'm not going to mention a point, but the point is good friends, great friends lift each other up, and

great friends support right. Thank you, So so Brobie, I'm sitting there and then I have age drink. I'm gonna I'm gonna have a glass of wine. Look at scare, You're a pussy. We're dracking wine. We're all drinking Scotch, you know with the big you know, the giant singular ice cube in a rock class and they swell it around with their pinky that my guys, I can't do that, I said, give me, I said, I will have more drinks than night goes on, but just not at your pace.

Fuck you, you're not a real man. Why don't you give us your man card? And I'm like, guys, there's no way to treat me. I'm like, I'm just coming off toxic. Go easy on me. And then the food comes, right, and now these guys know how to eat appetizer, main course, second main course. Let's or they're the kind of guys that do the the Let take some of this and some of that and let's just whack it up, throw it in the middle. Well they'll take they'll order extra entrees,

whack it up. They'll say, whack it up and throw it in the middle. And we've done that, we have, but they do it to uh the teeth, the grad What do you think I learned that? So brodie. So now dinner comes, I like I don't eat bread. I'm not eating the carbs. What what is that? Get out of here, scared? Come on, you mean you're not eating at And I'm sitting there like, come on, guys. And then they have dessert. These guys have the pre drink.

Then they do the three bottles of wine with dinner, and then post drinks cordials after who who wears cordials? And then a double espresso and then uh, let's take five desserts and like whack them up. And I'm sitting there like, oh my god, can come on, scary? Scary? Do you want the flow? You can't have the flon? Have the fl on. It's it's all this peer pressure, man deer beer pressure, whatever that funk it is. But by the way, this was Times twelve. I had twelve

meals with these guys in four days. It sounds like twelve meals in one meal. They've forced me to a game two pounds. I would like to take a step back in time too, when the beginning of this conversation happened. And I want to thank you for not inviting me on this trip, because this sounds if you had to design a David Brody anti fun trip. Hey, I woke up in a cold sweat. I had the worst nightmare. What happened, I don't know. I went to Columbia with

a bunch of Gavons who wanted too many drinks. He yelled at me if for not drinking, made me chipping for food. I didn't eat drinks. I didn't everything up evenly. The brodie, don't whack it up. You don't whack it off. You don't whack it on up and down. I'm not walking it, don't out. I'm not going to Columbia whack it not doing it. You're not whacking it out. No, I would have been the guy they shoved in the garbage pay healf for not chipping in. Who the fund

is this guy doesn't? It was separate checks. These guys are. These guys are brutal. The first thing I would have done in Columbia was like to say separate checks in Spanish. They don't let you off the hook. These guys do not let you. They have a fun group of guys and they'll look out for you. And you know a time of danger. I mean, is there that I know? You didn't needn't bring sex on the way day? What Dave. Dave was sex? Did you have sex? No? No? No, no,

no and drink. Dave and Anthony have girlfriends now Falcon Falcon has got a friend, Yeah, David on the way, Dave's got a girlfriend. Yeah. What if he's going over her house like he's driving over he didn't stop somewhere? No, so does she know he used to be Dave on the way? Sex on the way Dave? Oh from our previous podcast episode, go listen to an old episode. Yeah he had. Okay, here's you guys listening to the order? You know? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, exactly. So anyway, his girlfriend

doesn't listen to his podcast, does she not? No, it doesn't matter. This was all in the past years ago. So um. Anyway, the point that the point I was going to drive at was you would have loved this trip because and this is a public service for everyone Columbia. It is so cheap. Everything, the most picture, the top meal you could possibly have, Like I'm talking about what

would cost in New York City for two people. I'm talking about you go to a five star John George Restaurants, something that would with all ate and drank and in a top notch fine establishment, the best they have to offer. New York would have been like, you know, for a couple. It turned out to a guy at the most. The most we ever saw regular breakfast. You should open with that. We opened, no, dude, Our launches were like ten fifteen dollars each. I'm like, I felt bad and exchange rate

is that bob awful? Good for us? But um, it was a beautiful country. Um still probably yes it is. And the cab drivers, I felt terrible for the cabbies. You had a yellow cab, three guys in a cab hanging out. We're like driving for like fifteen minutes, Like, oh my god, how much is this gonna be? Turned out to? What amounted to four dollars and fifty cents us? All right, but then they can go buy a steak

dinner for two bucks, so it's five for them. Yeah, but my god, like, there's no way they're making money here that the on the cost of the gas and the wear and tear in the car and looking at each other, it's like some five cents each and we serious right now, this is crazy. More importantly, you just said me and my friends and I didn't stop. You go ahead. But the thing is if you want, if you want to go to a country where you can probably afford. How long was the flight. The flight was

five and a half hours. And the hotel stage you can stayed a nice hotel for cheap. So the food and the drink were top notch. The cuisine was outrageous. And that's such a New York expression. By the way, you can stay there for cheap, you can, I'm saying, but that's a very New York thing. Yeah, you can

really stay there. It's cheap, find find great flights to and from and then when you get back, when you go there, you're gonna you're gonna stay, play and eat and drink for free, for for a low amount of money, and and and draw and ride, I mean the cabs. Now, listen if Scary gets an endorsement for Columbia Tourism Board. Funny, you mentioned that our boy, uh boy Vinny is on the case, so so you might be getting them as a sponsor. No, they just they wrote back, who was

Scary Jones? So that's not going okay because I got the jingle ready ready to outpe Nope, Nope. He reached out to them after talking about on the radio. Say they wanted to know. Well, they're in Columbia. They don't know who we are Broken Boys podcast. They do because we had a lot in comments. Right, listen, this is not a podcast about Brooklyn. It's a two guys in our take on life, two guys from Brooklyn with them

talking about Columbia, the world according to us. Okay, So we've talked about travel, and we've talked about people who come to like New York, a big city, they get lost, they don't have directions whatever. And I've always said, at least tw people like who seem like they're American, you have a phone in your hand, don't ask for directions. Okay, So I'm walking to our parking garage where we park obviously the one we're near here, a few blocks away, and I'm stopped on a corner ready to cross a

major avenue, waiting for the light to change. And this short, little creepy looking man he says to me, Hey, should you know where Stanton Street is? Now? He's got an iPhone in his hand. I know it's an iPhone because it was like an iPhone seven. It was small. It's like, what couldn't have been an Android? Before you say it was an Android. It was an iPhone, so I know it's it's it's not like a flip phone or anything.

And he says, you know where Stanton Street is? Now, I know New York, but stand Street is not a major street. I don't know where Stanton Street is off the top of my head. Okay, all right, Stanton Social is that where that is the place? That's yeah, it's it's in the Lower East Side, but not where we are on the west side. Have been hattened, you know, because of the meat ball shop. Shop. Take you to the meat ball shop. That is some great meat balls.

What do they sell their meat balls? And by the way, just meat balls, right, it's phenomenal. Eight types of meatballs, like six types of bread and you just combo to make any combo. It's now five or six locations. Have you ever in New York City that mean ball shop? It's oh god. We could do a podcast just on the meat post. We should do a live broadcasting post. We still working on a live broadcast. Don't get upset

with us. Okay. So the guys that you're standing street, now, look, we are walking west at the moment, we're about to cross the street west as you just pointed out, now that you mention it, standing Street is east. Of course, at least I would say twelve long blocks east of where he and I are standing, not really walkable from where we are. You again here, okay, oh yeah, it's

it's it's a nice walk. It's a half hour. So I decided to take my own advice, because especially I was taller than the guys, I felt like I could say something. I said, to be honest, I don't know where Standing Street is, but you got a smartphone in your hand. Why don't you just search on Google Maps for it? He says, I'm on Google. I'm searching for Google Maps. It's not, let me say it, it's asking me to sign up for Google What So, I said, guys,

not on the right hand. So I so, I said, I don't know what you mean by sign up for good? I said, all right. So I'm like thinking, maybe he didn't download the app and he has to get into the app. The very smartphone has a native something like safar you could open some far. So then I say to him, well, actually, actually Apple has his own now, I said, I said, so you must have look right

at my paper. I wrote it down. I said, you must have Apple Maps, and he starts yelling it's starts asking for my password, and I said, well, I I don't, I don't. I okay, uh, just we'll put your password in. I don't know, I don't know my password. So the light changes, and I thought to myself, if he wasn't a crazy man, I might have helped him and taking my phone out. But he starts walking across the street with the second the light changed, looking at his phone,

yelling at his phone. Is he going in the wrong direction? Yeah, he's walking west, not keep walking. At this time, at this point, I didn't remember he was going in the wrong direction right, because he was going towards you know, some of the streets that have names. We were on a numbered street. He was going towards the ones, the smallest streets. I thought, maybe stands over there. I wasn't. It was late, I got out of work late last. You can be distorient was just thinking, so I wanted

to help the guy. And I was thinking, well, I know you listened to Bogas and watch you take out your phone. Well, I wanted to be The guy was so belligerent to me when I when I didn't know what stand street was, and there was no one else to ask, and then he's yelling at his phone asking me for a password. I was like, hey, like you know, like when your parents get lost the frustrated right, he was yelling frustrated by technology, looking at his phone, going

have a password. You just said okay, boomer and moved on. No, this guy, I wouldn't say he was. It wasn't maybe yeah boom bars sixties. But he he was like he needed a shave. He just I don't know if he was gonna like go crazy and he had a phone. He did, you said the podcast. So so he it's every Apple has an Apple Maps, it's native, every phone has a native. But he said that, he goes, it's asking for my password. My guess is he maybe needed

to update the app. And he was saying, you didn't you have to log in to the iTunes s and so he was flustered and he could so that now what I've learned, and now that we've had this conversation, he went in the opposite direction. Had been calm, I would have taken my phone out, but I was a Freddie gram from my phone or like get mad at me, like you know when you reach the end of the road and then as the defense just climb over and

just dive into the water head first. He wasn't far from that, like one more block, he's going in the water. So I tried to help the guy. So I want to say those people I always go, you have a phone in your hand, just use it. Maybe you can't, maybe even though you have the phone, So maybe you

give people too much credit. That's what I'm saying. I may all those other people I want an apology, But I do know all those people who text the radio station looking for answers on things, you're not gonna say, Hey, no, I still say google and google it. Yeah, well a lot of times I'll say it. It'd be easier if you googled it, like today it bing bing it. Someone today asked was like, hey, they asked for some think

that was very easily findable. I think we did a story about Oh there was We did a Garrett played a bit of sound. There was a woman from New York and apparently somebody went up to her as a bit on a subway and said, hey, sing something for me. I'll film it, or something like, hey sing this song. Whatever was they filmed her singing on the subway, like randomly. He was having people sing and she was terrific. And it went it went terrific. Yeah, and and and and

it got a lot of coverage. And then she was on Ellen right, and I think Garrett said her name was, let's say Darcy. I remember the name. So the woman on the subway named Darcy got on Ellen. So a woman said, oh, what was her name? Where do I find that video? I thought she was DEROSSI yeah, oh no, So I said, uh that uh tell in the show

You and your Lesbian Commentary. So I said, well, I think you'd be I think if you google subway singer Darcy Ellen, whatever her name was, you know you'll find it, right. I just people don't try. They don't and that that's that's been a growing problem. But this guy, he he tried. They're just lazy. He tried. He just wanted his password. Frustrated. Frustrated, ye, frustrated, they want his password. You know what, he could have pulled a cab driver over because they have a map

in their head. Here's the best here's the best part. We crossed the street. He's about ten feet ahead of me because he's walking out impatiently, like he's gonna figure out where Standing Street is all by himself. What's across the street a police station. There's police officers right there. They have a big map in there, probably know where Standing Street is. So I say, hey, asked the officers where Standing Street is. But he's got his face in his phone, banging away at the keys, yelling at in

the wrong direction. Direction. So my advice to people has always been, if you are in the city and you're lost, hail a New York City taxi cab and just talk to them through the window and say, hey, where is something. It's not gonna work. It's just gonna work. It is gonna work because they know where they're going at all times. Some of them use ways, they'll use an app that's uber. No. I've been in cabs with a where a guy looks at a map. Yeah, they look at the nav on

the phone. It's unfortunate, but that was. But but speaking of phones and that guy, you know what I did? Was it Monday? Tuesday? Tuesday? I came to work without my phone. I know that's bad. How did you manage? Okay? I mean I would have went home, so we were on vacation last week, right, and so what are you doing vacation? You turn all your alarms off to turn my alarm clock off. I turned my my Alexa alarm off,

and I have a phone alarm. So the phone alarm when I jump out of bed in the morning, and I started running in turn off all the alarm so don't wake anybody up. I grabbed my phone because the alarm is going off. And then I go in the bathroom and I get dressed well because the alarm was still off. Somehow Monday I got up. Somehow Monday I got up and I was awakened up to grab the phone. Tuesday, I was so tired. I must have not grabbed the phone. And I do a Richard, you have the same thing

in the morning. We do the same thing. Shoes, I hit the light, switched pe brush your teeth. I set five alarms on my phone, right, alarm one just in case the first four don't wake And when we wake up half asleep, the toothpaste have to be in the same spot, because you have to, like like a robot creature of habits. So I I always and I always do the pat I do the wallet, I do the keys, I do the phone, and I go. I was out

of it. I'd lucky I had the wallet. I had put the wallet in my jeans that I laid out for the day before, said already in the pocket. I put my money in my pocket from the other jeans that Adam Sandler's song. Phone wallet keys anything but my phone wallet keys, so for me, right for me, it's a phone. Phone keys. So I so I have a ritual. I get in the car, I put I plugged the phone in. I usually turned the data on because at home only the wifis on. I did dad in the car,

I didn't do that either. I'm driving from my house. I'm ten minutes outside of my house, or maybe thirteen minute or so. And I and I when you discover I discovered in the phone? All right, question, why don't you stop right there and turn around? You were only ten minutes away from thirteen. I did the math, so thirteen minutes away. So you don't think I do the math on how many six minutes seven minutes to come back. That's how much i'd lose. That's how much you'd lose

twenty minutes minutes. Well, if I'm already trending four minutes late. I can't do that. Well, you can, uh, But the question then becomes is it worth it to be a half hour late so I can get through my day and have my phone with me? Okay, Well, here's what I didn't want to waste. I didn't want to waste a day because once you use the oh I'm sorry, I'm late, I forgot my phone, I had to go home,

you can't keep using that. Right. Maybe there's a day I happen to me once, right, but maybe there's a day that I'm really running late and I don't forget my phone, but you want to use it as an right. So on a day when I'm only wearing a couple of minutes late, now I can blame the four minutes on how I was gonna get you get out of jail free cars to that right holding on to it. You don't want to waste that. So I figured I'll go in four minutes late and I'll distract by telling

the story behind on my phone. So I made a list which I read on the air. Part of it. Uh. Forty minutes into the show, I had gone to my phone thirteen times where I had to do something and I didn't have my phone, and I realized how unbelievably

important the phone is in our job. Even though we're on the radio, I have to text Froggy, text Josh, text Sam because looking up whatever, and it look up like sometimes sometimes like for instance, so Elvis was talking about fat Tuesday, I wrote down fat Tuesday, and then

always talking about white chocolate. So sometimes what you guys don't know is Elvis will be talking about something and I understand his facial expressions and his intonation in his voice where he might say, yeah, you know, Marty grow means fat Tuesday. No it doesn't, it does Marty? Oh yeah, Marty as m a R like Martez, Yeah, that's what fat Tuesday is. Marty graa Tuesday. I don't even know it translated to mind blown. My mind is blown right

here on this podcast. You're serious that Marty looking at it right now on your phone while I'm talking looking up, I'm gonna look a up right now. Okay, so means free or whatever? It was free free Marty's Marty ahead, rah Um, Marty gram um. Definition definition is like, uh so, while you're looking that up, Mary, what does it mean? Translation and definitions fatus it's French for fatoos mona tests

in Spanish is Tuesday. Marty. I didn't know that. Look at you and no clue that Marty Gram meant fat Tuesday. I knew Fat Tuesday was Marty Grass a bar called fat Tuesday. That it's a chain. I knew Fat Tuesday was always on Marty during New Orleans means it's in Orleans. That's new the we have to original Orleans somewhere else where was the old or I'm assuming in France. This is great French literally fat Tuesday alluding to the last day of feasting before the fast of line. And there

you go. So okay, So again, why I need my phone. Sometimes someone will talk about something and maybe doesn't know exactly everything about it, So I'll google fat Tuesday on my phone and then put the phone in front of Elvis so if he needs any statistics or whatever they are. So we're talking about white chocolate. I needed to agree, So I had to lift my laptop up and turn the laptop so you can see the ingredients. Because sometimes you need to provide information. You can't just print it.

You can't have the printer machine make it. The print and making noise in his studio, just hold it up. So I did not have my phone. His whole list, how did you feel? I was terrible, And then I had to leave early because I had to get home to the phone. Of course you did. And then it was all like nine text alerts, messages unanswered. It's the worst. You can't do without your phone. You have to keep up with it. Okay, but I did screw up. Okay.

So there was a guy in sales who's said to me over the week or Friday, you know, Monday, Hey, after the show Tuesday, let's talk, Okay. He said, I'll text you when I can talk. So I didn't have my phone. I never got a text message. So I get home. I don't know what time it was, one, two, three, whatever was whatever time I got home. I right, I got home pretty quickly, one o'clock maybe twelve thirty. I go to my phone. I see that he texted. So I'm like, if I text back now, I gotta deal

with that now. But I want to take a nap because I'm exhausted. So I can't text him back. Because you want to pretend like you still away from your phone, right, and you could use that excuse all day, right, So right, so I decided to send him an email sven o'clock at night. I finally got back to my phone, right, so I send him an email. I start writing an email, Hey, I don't know my phone. I'll and I went, wait

a minute, how can I be emailing him? Not that I couldn't have done it from my computer, but that implies that I'm home. So I had to quickly. Thank god, I caught myself. I said, hey, um using a friend's computer. No, I No, I could not. I hadn't, said I. So I had to figure out did I send the text message or not saying I don't have my phone? Right, I said, I done my phone, I'll call you when I get home. So then the email, I said, yeah, leaving work now, should be home in about an hour

and a half. So I caught myself. Had I sent the email like oh, don't have my phone, that it would have been weird because I just texted right. So uh, So I didn't text him, sent the email, and I realized Bob as I caught myself, I had to I had to figure out to play through my head, like what do I have to word? This that it covers the fact that I'm home, but I still don't have my phone, so I had to make it like I

was still at work. It's really what I was talking about, but not having your phone, man, it's just you know what. The once I got over the hump of it, Like after the first two hours, I started feeling a little more relaxed. Did you really feel like because I didn't have to like, oh, I don't have to respond to those you felt it was the nineties all over again,

Like this is how I remember feeling before it was different. Well, you know what, I got out of the out of the radio station, and normally I have to call the garage, let them in. My car is ready, Like you know what, No, I don't. I can't. I can't call them now. I reached so much going. The thing is, there's so much that we rely on our phones for now that you you must have been every thirty seconds thinking about it like, oh my god, I can't do this right now, or

I can't do that right now. Right And then I was gonna call the guy who runs one of the other departments. How are you gonna bit back to people on Twitter? You can't do that the phone. So then I looked the whole days worth attraction. I had told someone else, I'll call you from my car ride home tomorrow after work, one of the other department heads that I deal with, And then I got in the car, I'm like, I don't have to make any phone calls. Isn't it liberating? It was in the car liberating. I

put music about wearing any underwear. It was like that, I've never forgotten underwear coming to work, I know, but the fact that you didn't have any on yeah, Emperor's new clothes. It was. It was Ember's Neo close. I do. I do want to bring up a couple of clips that I got off the radio. Uh so, let's let's do that coming up next. And now here's where I

get my name for us. We'll call it even. Hey, this is Joe Gadda from a Practical Jokers, and you're listening to two of my favorite idiots, the Brooklyn Boys with Brody and Scary. I hate this. I got a spam phone call just now. Well it said spam, but then it's a Chase Bank next to it. Now, I do bank with Chase so much. Should have answered that, but it's a spam. No, uh, well, it could be an eight hundred numbers so that they're wandering. Yeah, I don't know what that number is. By the way, I

one discounted rooms at Marriott twice this week coming to Marriott. Oh, I got my Walmart order showing up and I got a twenty five dollar gift card from Walmart. Why because it was a Scamboni sent to my email. You have the jingle, of course, ridiculous from Walmart Customer Appreciation. Hey, Scary Jones. That's, by the way, that's how I know right away it's a scambo because they used Scary Jones

and I don't have an account as Scary Jones. Congrats you've received a Walmart You received an Walmart reward grammar Police and Scamboni in the same fucking email. So it says click here. But then when you clicked the hyperlink of the actual no, no, no, no. All I did was I clicked to see what email this Walmart crustomer appreciation was coming from, and it was support at info email now dot com. You're a fucking Scamboni. I didn't click on you, your bitch, And then they got me.

They tried to get me again, they said, hey, your order that purchase order number, it's about to be delivered and with a link, and I'm like, wait a second, I haven't ordered anything from Walmart. They wanted me to track my order of whatever the funk it was. They were hoping that I forgot that I ordered to them from Walmart. So I've gotten that ship from Target and from other time, got it from Amazon. Said you know why, because it's a pretty good I got no order comment. Yeah,

I know. So if you click on scam bony, no I get alerts on my phone. I don't need. I don't need emails telling me I don't have email alerts from Amazon. You know? Another scam bony an Instagram. Hold on, don't fall for this one. So if you go on Instagram sometimes on your d MS, you'll get these randos, these requested messages, or it might be something uh coming from somebody you actually know. On Instagram. You it's a

phishing thing. Some the account got hacked, but yet they it looks like it's coming from their handle and it says from a d M, Hey look what I made for you. It took me two hours. And then there's a link and I'm like wait a second. If I click on that, it's gonna bring me to a fucking site. I didn't click on it, but I google the scam.

It's a fishing scam. And what happens is if you were to click on someone's d M that is familiar, like if I got one from Brody and it says, look what I had, Look what I made for you never sent two hours I know. Once you click the link, it takes you to what looks like Instagram's log in page, like you've been logged out, and then you type your name and password and it goes to the hacker and

then your account gets taken over. Scamboning you have another one a couple of so I had another scambo I just forgot, but I wrote down three and before at one a couple of things. I got a d M that said, uh eighteen plus and it said uh, don't open at work or something. But it wasn't from anybody I knew. It was like a zero post person and it was a click here. It looks like it's a video, but it's actually a link that takes you to a bad website widing click. And I'm not that stupid, but

I don't know what to do with this. A listener sent me, ay, I don't know if it's a photo of video, I don't know. It's a legit listener of the alpst In Morning show. And I've interacted with them before, you know, if I had, you know, listen, answered tweets or whatever. And she has a uh she if she said, hey, um, this is for you, but if you're married, you might be offended by it. Okay, Well I clicked on it. It said so and so has a private account. So I wrote back and I said, I can't open this.

You have a private account. So they sent me a link to her to her to their account. I go, it's still private. I can't access your account. So I feel, as a married guy, should I not even be clicking it? Because but what I don't well, not temptation, I'm not. I don't get tempted. My point was, I'm curious what would offend me if I was married. Well, that's the lure, that's that, that's the bait right there there, there's a

hook in the water and the bait. When you think a guy this this uh desirable, a single well you would pick at random. That's why it's a scambo. No, it's a listener. It's not really. Yeah yeah, although although it could be a fishing scam like I just mentioned, it couldn't someone she might have gotten hacked. And I'm telling you, yeah, you're right, You're right. She might have gotten because saying another woman can't find me attractive, it must be Sam. That's like applauding for a pilot. Right.

We did get hacked though. My daughter called me up, my oldest daughter. She calls me at the house and she says, I'm trying to get into Netflix and my account got changed to a rooster the name is d I k and uh and then watching movies in in Spanish and they changed the language to Arabic. Oh my god. Okay, so let me tell you about Netflix. It's one of those apps that you can't do what you want to do in the app. You have to go to the website.

I hate that, but you don't know that. So I'm like I. So she says to me, did you do that right? Because two years ago she changed my account to a child's account so that I couldn't watch anything with adult themes like I'm gonna watch cartoons. And then sometimes my my kids will change each other's you know, uh icons or names. But we agreed about a year ago we'll not do it anymore. Let anybody be happy. Did it once? Because they change your account to a

kid account, you have to delete it. You can't just change it, so you feel like you lose your lists and your watchings and all that. So we all agree we never do that. She's like, you did it? Is it? No? I did not. That's not my sense of humor. I was gonna change it to a right, Okay, So I'm in the I'm in the app for like ten minutes trying to figure out how to change Why can't you just have like you can this captions? Right. You're trying the captions on and off, but you can't turn them

off permanently, right, And you can't change the language. So this is ridiculous. So I google the problem and says you have go through the website. I go through the website. My password doesn't work anymore. But because we were logged in already, we didn't have to log out, so the passwords not working. So I'm like, holy sh it, someone got into account and change the password. Wow. So I call Netflix and they so she said. The woman says to me, h uh, well give me your email address. Okay.

I said, well, the email address on the account is my wife's and she's sleeping, which was true. Changed the email address. No, no, they didn't, Thank god, they would not small enough to do that. So I said, well, do me a favor, make it my email address so I can get the link to reset the password. She says, okay, okay, the security there right. She was like, she was like Pete Davidson on SNL. Okay, she wasn't gonna she wasn't gonna like test your knowledge of your account to make

sure that you're not the scamber I gave me. I gave her the address. But that could have been found out that you could find if you had to. That's week. That's a week wall. So I go back and I change it. I go back and change it. I changed the language, but the language didn't change on anything they had already watched, So all the previews and all all any think on the main screen right was still Arabic. So I had it took. It was like ten step process.

Thank you hackers for listening to this segment. You roll it back anytime you want to break into us. So then my wife the next day, I say, hey, we got hacked last night. She goes, oh, it wasn't last night, It must have been like a week ago. Why why did she wait that long? So I said, what do you mean? Just well, I got an email that said, uh, you have a new account sign in from Michigan, and another one from Morocco, another one from al Jeers. And I said, well, didn't an occur to you to like

maybe we got hacked? And she says, no, I figured out phishing emails. She thought they were the kind of emails you got that they were like, you know, click here, you've been hacked. But we actually got hacked. So someone in Michigan sent the passwords to their buddies. Now, look, Michigan has a large Arabic UH population. Maybe they had relatives in and it was um, Morocco or Monico, one of those. I don't remember which one. I think it was Morocco UH and Algiers and uh. And so people

in three countries were watching my Netflix account. And somebody must have been Spanish also, because yeah, some of the movies were Spanish only movies. Then they changed those Arabic subtitles, and so you can't get out of Arabic because you can't figure out like which is yeah and that which is the button, which is the home right, which is the button. It's not like Spanish where like, oh, that looks like you know, the COSA button. I get it. This was like I know the buttons are pictures, but

the words are not close. You can't like go oh, I get it right, like Marty Gross Fat Tuesday, you could probably figure that out. So it took me a multiple hours to get out of that. Um But Dick Dick the rooster or something was you know what, They would have gotten away with it too. If that one person of all the people sharing our account, if that one person didn't change the profile picture to a rooster, we never would have known. Except in my in my

watch the list was movies I didn't watch. I gotta go check my watch list now to see if I've been hacked. Yeah. So so a smart hacker will just play it cool. You watch the movies, yeah, watch Stranger Things, the history, Yeah, do something like that. By the way, you can't, to my knowledge, you can't, at least in the app. You can't, like I can't delete the things that this guy I'm assuming it's a guy. Uh, this person watched like in my recently watched list, I'm like,

I didn't watch that. Oh and then it throws off your whole profile of films for them, right, So he was right? And what is that? Right? So this guy watched the Tom and Jerry cartoon and now in the in the what you might like this cartoons coming up, like Hannah Barbara. Now I like Hanna Barbara, but I don't want those in my you might like list. So I started watching all the cool stuff again. He fucked you up? Fund this up? Yeah? Um, hold on, hold on,

scambo Netflix, I said, uh, I've been porn. Yeah, I'm gonna get the let me get the email thing ready the stage for you? And I wanted to play a couple of clips. Oh yeah, then we have some clips or some clips. Yes, let me get the email stage. You're ready for you with that? And I have have a grammar police. Oh my goodness, so exciting. I do want to get rid of the scam. We don't want Scamboni, I think so alright, if I was running the board, I would have had that. Sounds like it's welcome. You've

got mail. You can always email us at the The Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. This one came in from the Cole Morelli and she's addressing me, but I think she's talking about you, Brodie. Damn it. Thank you so much for reading my email on the last episode of the podcast. But I have to say I was super bummed to hear you say my full name and then say that I was part of the problem for using the term a t M machine in the subject of my email. For the record to called that

was David Brodie, not me. I did not it was not me. I'm sorry for not being more clear. I was emailing to say that I thought of my favorite podcast when the Redundant Phrases category came up on Jeopardy, and just want to let you guys know that I thought of you when the term a t M machine was on the Jeopardy clues. If I was really part of the problem, I wouldn't have understood the coincidence and

would not have emailed you about it. But I guess I shouldn't have assumed it was obvious to both parties. I hope you can understand it was a bummer to hear the host of the podcasts you love call out your full name and say you were part of the problem. But thank you, Nicole, it was you. You read the emails. I read the email, and then you are the one who called around as part of the problem. It was David. I'm sorry, Nicole. I owe you an apology. Sometimes I'm tired,

sometimes I miss I apologize. But hold on, can I play this real quick? I mean, over this down. Speaking of which, this was Joy read. She's a news host and she's talking about the candidates having money. We do need true campaign finance before well we're gonna do is continue to roll with the people.

Nope. Very late to the podcast, but I wanted to start over and listen from the top. So I'm still in

the twenties, but I'm a lot like Brody. I believe in free dessert, especially when traveling things go wrong, because travel is ridiculously priced these days. Made over two thousand dollars in travel certificates from my family over the last two years. From a major US airline. Let's say they have a globe in their logo. I have to anyway, UM, I will send a complaint if anything on my journey doesn't go as it should anything. I never asked for

anything in return. I simply say I'm giving you feedback and believe my experience was not up to standard, and invariably I will be center certificate. They say that we're sorry for the service and we appreciate your loyalty. This guy has gotten seven hundred dollars A hundred dollars seventy five dollars once for the baggage not showing up. Uh, flying in a premium I've been in um and and

the amenity kid was missing. Complained about that grandparents had requested wheelchairs and there was no there was there was a mess, there was no wheelchairs. So and got seven hundred dollars on that one. How about that grandparents? They said there were no wheelchairs for the grandparents even though they were seven hundred bucks ching and seventy five dollars because there was a light flashing above me the entire flight. It was really bright and they couldn't turn it off

for that nice. I think I just made Brodie proud. The baggage didn't show up and damage and then there was damages with the damage was the bag Wasn't there a hundred bucks? This is fucking great because their their menity kid was missing. This is from they don't want to say their name, but it's Uh. I'll just show, I'll show see if I can put that in the book. Uh. Paul Hickey wrote to us about Danielle La La Loo yelling Danielle the Lilo hey Fella his Tales of a

Cocktails podcast. They're doing a live podcasting. No, I'm a little a little jealous. Hey, fellas, really listen to episode seventy five to eighty five so far this week since you're on vacation. Episodes eighty two and eighty four with Danielle DeLillo are so great and I really hope you can invite her back for cameos sometime soon. She's fucking hilarious and fits in so well. I don't fuck in a car, she says. If you don't know what we're

talking about, go listen to those episodes. She Doesn't Fuck in a car. Brooken Boys podcast is the best podcast of all time, no comparison. Thank you, Paul Hickey. All right, so David Ramira has sent me this DM One thing I learned from you even is not even just got me some free dessert from Amazon. Wait for the ending of this. One Amazon driver missed delivered packages to the wrong house. I called up Amazon was told by the customer service lady to check around the neighboring houses for

my packages. Come again, that ain't my job. I got my I got my money back at a twenty on a gift card. Hashtag free dessert, Thanks Brody, so that they were like, hey, can you can you can you go look around the other houses for your own packages. Um, Stephanie Quinton got free dessert. You want to hear about that one? Yeah, and then I want to talk to about two signs I saw and a guy who got belligerent with me got free dessert from Bear Burger in Morristown.

Restaurant just opened up. My friend and I were interested in trying it. We ordered meals for pick up. Yes, I brought in a big enough purse to sneak to full meals into because they were going to the movies. After we got we forgot to check our order. Oh boy, that's the problem. So when we arrived to the theater where we opened up our Bear Burger, our nachos were not in the bag, but Brussels sprouts were. The Brussels sprouts were great, but when you want nachos, you want nachos.

So I called the restaurant once I saw the incorrect order. Without even asking the restaurant, they were going to deliver my nachos to me and have me keep the Brussels sprouts. Unfortunately, since the movie was about to start, it wouldn't work for us. They ended up refunding us for the nachos and gave me fifteen dollar gift card to a future Bear Burger visit. Amazing customer service from bear Burger in Moorestown because they did the right thing and gave us

free dessert. Will definitely go back because of it. I love you all. Start listening in episode ninety I heard episode Brodie say you to start from the beginning of that episode nineteen and now making my way down the list, don't you mean up? Thank you, Stephanie Quintin nice send those the two free dessert ones to me. Yep. Uh. There's an Asian market UH near where Uh I shop, and there was a sign in the door. I'll show you the sign. Scary it said. See what it says.

They're just caution do close, keep children away. Don't all doors close, caution door will close, keep children away. Here's your other sign. Now, this one frightens me, you know sometimes Uh this is again. It's the people there all speak different forms of a languages. They serve a lot of different cultures, and they have a Chinese area. I think they have Korean food, and they have a new area that they opened up. So I understand the sign

is not perfect. I'm not giving him grammar police on this, although I'm gonna call I'm gonna call police, come grating that the sign says the sign says, new authentic Vietnamese food. Please try me, Please try me? Have they cut up Vietnamese man come into the food? I love it? And did he write that sign as his last dime thing new authentic Vietnamese food? Please try me? Um, I do want to talk about the Levice store. I'm gonna save the guy who got belligerent with me about the coronavirus.

I want to give props and to give you a little little customer service, uh tip. That will all be in my book. All right. We do have another a couple of free desserts. What you want to do? Those? Those are not really um? Well well, Mike Wester from again another Facebook page submission said that Wayfair sent me an oven that wasn't working properly. I bitched at them and got a hundred thirty eight dollars credit. They sent a tech out to look at it. How to take a day off of work. He came. He said he

needed for oh the parts. He said that he he needed other parts for it to happen right. The parts came, They scheduled the appointment with a window of eight to five. They called a four forty eight, said they weren't going to make it. Reschedule another appointment. Wow, they came and fixed it. Took three days off for this, this this bullshit, And after going back and forth for a week, they gave me another hundred fifty dollars. Listen to him, their

their their messages, back and forth. Something has to be done for us missing three full days of work. Wayfair Rights. We are happy to issue a seventy five dollar credit to make up for the negative experience. Please let us know if this works for you. The person wrote back, I feel like a hundred fifty dollars at least half of one day's pay I lost. Is the least you can do. I lost nine hundred dollars in lost income and Wayfair Rights back, We've applied on credit, keeping eye

out for confirmation email. Thank you. So they got double. They offered them the seventy five as the dangling carrot, and then the person was like, nah, fuck you, I want a hundred fifty I lost nine dollars in payment. How great is that? That's fantastic. I want to play the two clips and tell the story. Which order do you want me to do? Play the clips? Okay? So, uh, we have a clip from a guy. Now you know, like where you're from, you use certain lingo, like we

have a lot of lingo on this show. Yes we do. And uh, if you know, let's say you're from Arkansas. You know, when you're talking about going to the mall, or you're talking about dinner or certain types of food. You know, if some of them from Arkansas they say it a certain way. You're from California, you say it a certain way here in New York, like we said we all were. We say what's the sticks? We don't say mozzeralla sticks. So this guy, I'm not scary. You

have not heard the clip. I'm gonna play it for you. Am I gonna get angry? Well, you're gonna you know what you're gonna get. You're gonna get. Uh, you're gonna get. This guy is not from not who he says he is. Now. So James Cordon watching the Late Late Show and he's going through the crowd having people answer trivia questions. You just break the bottle going towards the door, tried to throw an empty water We have a recycling pail. He just tried to throw it into the non recycling pail.

You dog to this guy, James James Corton asked him where he's from. Okay, okay, here we go. What's your name from? Justin, I'm from New York, New York. Stop right there. Anyone who's from New York does not say that from New York, New York. That's right. That guy is not from New York, not from New York, not from York because because New York, New York, by the way, technically is Manhattan the borow of manhatt Manhattan, New Yorkity.

So if he was from New York, he would have said Manhattan, New York City, right, or New York from New York right. New York, New York is the mailing address. You know what, You don't have to write Manhattan, they decided, because Manhattan is the most popular burrow of the five arrows of New York, Brooklyn being one of them, he might have moved to New York. Right. He's not from New York, New York. So one of two things happened.

Either they told him to say that right, like he said, I'm from Manhattan, New York, Like, you know, just for the sake of the national audience. No, you're not from New York, New York. You're from New York City, New York City, or from Manhattan, but nobody would say that. So this justin, I'm from New York, New York. He also sounds prepared. I think a producer told him to say it. I don't I don't no, because he went

through the whole audience. So it's the game. It's the game where like you start from the first seat, you asked them a dumb question, and the next person goes in the dumb question, and if anyone gets it wrong, he goes to the aisle behind you, right, and he keeps going up until he gets to the end of the row. And if whoever at the end of the row gets it right, the whole audience wins. The whole row wins a hundred dollars. So he didn't prep everybody

in the whole audience, Like what's your name? Where you from? Justin from New York, New York. You have not from New York, New York. He may be a stop to here. Your cab broke down, But nobody thinks that way here. So wherever from think about it. If you like in Pittsburgh and you're like, oh, y'all, y'all, I'm from Pittsburgh. No, in Pittsburgh they say UN's like they would beat you up for lying and say, right, you're not from there. You know, York gonna be so man. Okay, so you

know our friends and Peter Millar not a sponsor. Still, I want to just say, not a sponsor. Do you think that when we're gonna get them sometime in I'm trying real hard, but I wrote. I wrote this town because I couldn't believe what I heard. Now, you know, you talk about we're talked about a car commercial. A bunch episodes ago used to have this guy Ricardo Monto Bad talk about this car and Chrysler New York with rich Corinthian leather. That wasn't a thing. There was no

such thing as Corinthian leather. But it sounded nice, right. They made it sound fancy, like, oh, the car as Corinthian leather. If you don't know, you're like, that's like when I go by bed sheets and it's say it's peema cotton, Yes, cotton oh my god, Egyptian cotton? Right? What then? Is now everything supposed to be excited? It sounds great, right, every every commercial I only bought Egyptian? Can we make Bomba's socks only using the finest Pima cotton?

Pima Pima apparently is the ship. Now it's the cotton. I'm fine with that, Peter Malar. You want to you want to slip in the Pma cotton. But this commercial got out of hand. Listen to what they're trying to sell me? And and does the average person know it's good? Do we know? Here? It is whether they're purvying the finest Pima cotton in the coastal valleys of Peru or selecting the highest quality kashmere fleece from white hercus goats

of inner mongolia. White hercus goat from inner Mongolia the highest quality kashmir hold on whether they're purveying the finest Pima cotton in the coastal valleys of Peru or selecting the highest quality kashmere fleece from white Hercus goats of inner mongolia. Okay, now are the black hercus goats not as nice? That was a that was a Peter Mallar

commercial are. Yeah, just so you know they're pervying the finest Pima cotton in the coastal valleys of Peru or selecting the highest quality kashmere fleece from white hercus goats of inner Mongolia. Peter Millar is dedicated to curating the most precious and noble fibers when creating their innovative Yes, the most precious and nobles a fiber noble? Well, it's from loyalty. I don't know, Yes, noble gentleman, I am going to share you now, Mr. Your highness, the white

hercus goats. What's a noble fiber? Fuck you? Peter Miler. Yeah, wait a minute. You imagine walking on the street and something You're like, oh, what's that made of? Well, this is a white hercus go Kashmir, but it's from outer Mongolia. Way, Oh, no, ainta mongolia. I don't want to wear. You're starting to worry me, Brodie, because all you do is here Peter Millar commercials. You listening to the Peter Millar radio station. What's going on? I've never heard this before. Okay, I've

never heard of station play. It was a TV TV. It's no it's it's the it's I listened to news in the car. So the name was Peter millar As the sponsor is one of the So they do advertising, they do, but not here on the Brooklyn Boys. Okay, So I do want to say, you're never going to get them, all right, So uh, I'm want to grammar police this commercial and then give you. I don't have the update, but here a police a police. Okay. So this cruise company sounds like a good cruise company. It

sounds like a beautiful ship. And I know you're gonna say it's nitpicky, but they made the same grammatical error twice in the same commercial. So I'm gonna listen to it. In the World is transforming luxury river Cruising one award winning ship at a time. Each of our ships are unique. Okay, each of our ships are unique. It should be each of our ships is unique. Um okay, now that's that sounds weird to me, though each of actually is. Each is one seat to me, hold on a second, each

she said, each of our ships are unique. That's right. Listen in the World is transforming luxury river cruising, one award winning ship at a time. Each of our ships are unique with every detail. She made the mistake of using ship. She should now she should have said all of our ships are or each of our ships is, So each is doesn't sound right, but you're right. Well, if if I said each each of these guys is

an asshole, then it sounds right. It's no. No, I see it sounds wrong, but it's correct, gradically correct to subject. So she's fucked right now here cut now listen to a second. One she does in the world is transforming luxury river cruising, one award winning ship at a time. Each of our ships are unique, with every detail, exquisitely designed. Our passionate staff provide unmatched service. Our passionate staff provide. Staff is singular, but riots provide. So they got him

both wrong. So I tweeted at them, and I and I emailed through the website and I said, hey, just want to let you know. No, look, it's a bit anal, but I wanted to see what the response was to read it on the podcast, So I said, as well, you know, I heard you commercial. Here's a clip. You've gotten too conjugations wrong. You went singular when you should have gone plural. You implural, and you should have gone singular. They wrote me back. He said, thank you very much,

we'll we'll fold it onto the appropriate people. You don't think that they would re record the commercial. They did know they didn't. They have a new commercially fixed because of you. Now, now, listen, so I told you I bought a car from my daughter, which I've been driving to save mileage on my charger. My charger, my Dodge. I can back up the radio so I can record it when I'm driving the Ford. It's an older car, I can't, so I have to get it in my charger.

I can back it up and play the new commercial. Commercial fixed it. Good for you. That's a personal victory. Brabo. Yes, they don't run that commercial anymore. With the double gram errors. They didn't, so good for them. They didn't blow me off. They actually told somebody and we're like, dude, yes, that guy's right, and they fixed it. Good. How about how about now less customer service story? And then we're getting out of here. How about how about my mom asked

me for to pull a David Brody. She said, listen, David, I you know my mother moved in twenty six, moved to Jersey. It's a lot of stuff, gotten boxes and different things. And then something happened in her life where she she lost a lot of weight. Right, she had gone on the diet. So she had bought these genes that were a certain size and in the move forgot about them. Lost some weight since then, and now it was whatever it was was, no, you're bestard, No whatever

the case, it's been, it's it's been. It's been two years. It's been two years. Okay. So she misplaced them and put them in a closet and then then she ses, David, I found these there fromen but I spent a hundred and forty on these, uh two pairs of jeans. They were expensive. Uh can you think maybe you can call them and try to get the credit or money back whatever. I said, yeah, I'll take care of it. So I called Levi's and I explained the situation. My mom's old

she forgot them. She she had moved, and there was a lot of boxes and the whole thing. Okay. They said, well, we'd love to help you, but uh, you know, give me the Skew number and uh, we'll put them in the computer. See what they're worth. I go, well, look, if they're from a long time. I they get me worth five dollars, and I really would like to at least get my mamma credit. Let's see what we can do. I'll hook you up. I gave it a whole song

and dance. She says, they're not coming up in the computer. She said, they're so old. We don't have him in the system anymore. So I said, well, my mom's gonna be on a hundred forty bucks I feel, you know, and she's old and she's on a fixed income. And I give them the whole thing. Well, you know what you can do, uh go try one of the stores and then maybe the in person they can do something for you. So I said, well, what's your name? So I'm gonna I'm just make up a name. We'll say Stella.

She says, my name is Stella. Said go Stella from the corporate office of Levi's. I appreciate your help. I'm gonna call the store and tell him Stella from the corporate office is good to go. Couldn't you help me out? I called the first store in New York and and she says, give me a skew, it's not in the system. Well, can't you ring up a different pair of jeans, and she's not, we'll throw inventory off. I go, I know, but Stella was gonna do it. She just doesn't have

the same system you have in the stores. Can't you do a price override? Well I could, but it's not in the system. If it was in the system, I could put the price rules, rules rules. So I called store number two in New York. Oh, we'd love to help you. Yeah, we can't. We scanned it. There's no price. So I called store number three, Store number three located over by Chelsea Market, which I mentioned earlier on M fourteen Street or whatever. I think it's a teen street.

And uh. I get a woman on the phone. Her name is Mia. What a beautiful, fun, friendly woman. And I said, I speak to the manager. Yeah, that's the manager. Couldn't been nicer friendly on the phone. I tell her the story and I said, look, my mom, I said, look, there's a really good explanation she has. I don't need the explanation, just just just come in. I said, what do you mean. Well, whatever the explanation is, I'm sure

it's important to you. I'll take care of it. Yeah, but Stella couldn't ring an it's just I'm the manager here. You come and ask for me. I said, it's what's your name? I said, my name is David. Says I will find a way. We will make this happen and fix it for you. We want to take care of you, like you gotta be kidding me. So last week I go in with the My mom had the original bag that it was mailed in like it's untouched, tags, brand new everything. So I bring it in. I walked in.

I said, there's two beautiful women when you walk in, right by the front table and I said, excuse me, I'm looking for Mia. And she says, now, this is three or four days later, she says, are you David? She remembered you. I said, yes, I am. She says, hi, am miya. It is so great to meet you. She's a fan of the show. Nope, nope, nope. That's what made it even better that I would about to say that is what made it better, didn't it? So I said, I said, I know you're just you might come in

on Friday. I love this and I can't I should. I got in like an hour ago, so I knew i'd be You said you'd come in between one and the fact that she is treating anyone in everyone this way. That's right now, you know me? You know what that that provides hope for me. For said, look if you can't, If you can't, I understand, it's not gonna ring up. She just you leave it to me. Good, he says, you tell your mom took care of it. So we go to the register. She scans it. She goes, oh,

I recognized this style. It's from I said, yep, here's the invoice. I give it. My mom kept everything. He's the invoice, the packing slip, all of it. She's while you're my my mom feels terrible. She I said, she was your mom last weight. You tell it good for her? I said, all right, okay, So she goes click click click click click click. She hands me a gift card. She goes, here, you go full value. Tell your mom buy whatever she wants. You can use it online if

she love that. How great is Mia from the Levis store. Uh? And I have to go on the website now. I told I would give her a great review and write her up. But I'm gonna put up a Levi's picture and tag her in it. Some of the best some of the best customer service. Now, I don't want Levi's turn around going. You gave a full refund on some old jeans now because Stella said it was okay, But I had I really I don't want to get into

details of my mother's personal life. But I had a really good reason, and I said, look, I have a really shoes. I don't need to know it. I know if you're calling me after all this time for your mom, you already have a good reason. That's all I need to know. That is great. More people need to behave like that. I got free dessert. I wasn't asking for it. So my point, I have a couple of points. Reward people who were great. She was great. That's number one.

Number two, don't get frustrated if one location can't help you. I was gonna say the same thing, because those other managers were nice, but they weren't me. They couldn't. They didn't keep going. So if you're dealing with a company, a large company, especially several locations, every gap until somebody helps you walk out from one story, I was going to say the same thing. Actually, if it's reasonable. So

this was above and beyond. It was a six month return or whatever it was, and it was a year, and it was a twelve months on whatever it was thirteen fifteen months. But uh yeah, she was like, I'm helping you, So that's great. So what size is your mom? The kind of question is that I don't just want to see your bikini? No, I just it's wrong with you. You don't. You didn't left that part of the story that maybe want to buy her a present or something on the podcast I'm gonna tell you pant sizes. I

don't know how. I just don't. Maybe you're thrown in there. It's a descripting. Is a descriptor? I don't know. It's a descripting. It's a descriptor. Is the wrong with you? Want to know how much she's lost? Like that? She's you know, she's lost you as a friend? Doesn't she loves if? You know? She's going down a few sizes. I know, I'm very proud that I went from a thirty eight to a thirty two and right now with thirty four. But that's okay. So I just thought that

maybe that that contributed the story. What woman do you know would want me to tell you what size she was? Or is my girlfriend's a four. Your girlfriend is is thirty something and uh and she's sucking hot. I don't know how you got her, how you keep her? You know how much does she weigh? Oh, she wouldn't want me to tell you that. You know, no by bros On in one place and you have to be fund to be that stupid Brooklyn Dah Boys, Brooklyn Brooklin naw Boys, Brock Brooklas
