#118: Skeery's Mom Sucks!

bang on the table, it appears in both. That's what you need to do to fix things around here. You need to slap it around, smack it up, flip it, rub it down. I'm gonna keep that joke that I was gonna use, no, no, do the joke I was gonna say, we gotta fix Dan yell that way on the Big show, slap around. Oh my god, Brodie, That's why I didn't do it. But Jen I was the kind of go you know, she's a tough guy. She'll punch you. Misogyny on a front, misogyny. I love Danielle.

I was just making a joke. Um, yeah, if you if you listen this is today's the sixth Today is March sixth. Right, if you listen to the March five edition of the elvistra End Morning Show, fifteen minute morning show, that was a cluster fu. Yeah, we did the podcast in here. It was hilarious. But all Scary did was complain about the equipment and the studio. And I was walked in and agreed with me. He agreed with you. But I feel like I'm in the bat cave. Like

one bulb is on seven broken lights. That's three out of five. That's pretty good odds. It's terrible, and and you know, forget about that. I'm not gonna get into it. You know, I bet you about this all the time. I probably should back off. There's an engineer cursing me somewhere in the back studios if you look on the right. So we have this in these insulation squares on the wall.

There's one falling left. But here's the thing. It's perfectly placed because it fell exactly into the frame of battle right below it right, so it's sitting in place on the ledge of another panel. So it's still soundproofing. It's fine, it's all good. It's not all good. The clock is right. The clock is right. Oh man, So this is two weeks in a row now that we're doing episodes on

a Friday. You if we do it in the Junkie Studio, it's because we're doing it on a Friday, and so scary as you want to blame but himself because he didn't want to do the pods. Yes, let me tell you something. And before people jump on me, you have just as many excuses on a Thursday to do it on a Friday as I do. So don't even go there. The last three times we moved to Friday because nope, because you're Walkers and Talkers podcast, and your producer Jamie about it was let's not let me, let me not

tell that story. Last Thursday you said, nope, nope, nope, you came to me first. Don't even go there. I'll get Jamie on the phone right now and ask her if she called you to do the Walkers podcast on a Thursday and switch with the Brookland Boys Friday, I will I will call you out. Okay, here's what really happened. You said, I thinking maybe we should do it Friday, and I said, you know what Jamie wants to do Thursday that would work out, and you were like, yeah,

let's do that. But you said it first that we're being we're being a hunting honest. Cards on the table, and by the way, there's like soda other things on the table besides cars. The DJs at one hundred outside of the morning show, I love them, We're all friends of ours. But they come in here before their shift in the other studio where their main radio station is located through the other glass window, and they come in here and eat their lunch before they go on and everything.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. We should get engineer jeff In here to tell us the grossest things that he's found over the years. He actually is the engineer for like six radio stations nail clippings. If he could come down here real quick, that would be great, just as a thing. Well, yeah, So the way the board works, the the the apparatus that runs

all the audio and makes the levels whatever they are. Um, there's a like a slow and the slider has a groove and opening so that you can drop crumbs and things in the in the openings you can get did you fill out a trouble ticket to get Jeff on the phone. No, obviously not Yeah, oh he's just right. Please text me. We need you on the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Tell him call your phone his need to come in. He can be over the phone. Yeah, okay, so can you can you come? Oh? Come by? After he's in

a meeting. What do you think they do? In those meetings they talk about how they're not going to fix this studio. I think they sit around and make jokes and they're like, let me tell you, now, you know what. Our engineers they really do work hard there. But the problem is there's not enough of them. I don't think because there's no money in the budget to fix this old studio that that's that's most of it. Like, oh you just use it if a podcast and phone taps

like those are important. They keep re they keep putting more money as much as they possibly can into the equipment that we currently have. But I'll tell you I'm just not gonna all right, all right, So anyway, a sorry up in midtown. Oh he's not even here, all right, we'll call on the phone anyway. Well, maybe he's fixing the uptown studio, the fancy one that overlooks the staircase the uptown junk, the uptown johnp so the uptown Okay,

we have offices in midtown Manhattan. We're lower Manhattan. So Manhattan is like, um, the shape of a penis. It's a penis, basic penis, and that would make staten Island is the testicles. Yeah it is. You look on the subway map. The penis is facing down. Brooklyn is the penis, the testicles. Brooklyn's the testicles. Is the base. No bronx is above it, you dope, No, you dope. I'm talking about a penis hanging down. No, no, not but no, no, you look at it if he is standing up, Kokland

is the ball sack. Pull up the map, the subway map. You'll see it. You'll see what I'm talking about. And then stat Island whatever I see. Whatever I see Manhattan. I think of a penis facing You think of a drupie dick. Yes, all right, well I think of an erect penis, not often, by the way, don't quote me on that, um. But if you look at the map, you'll see Brooklyn is the ball sack. Okay, I'm looking at the right Brooklyn is the ball sack. If you're

looking in your direction, that's correct. And I don't know what Staten Island is what you left on that. I don't see that I see. I see a penis hanging down, and I and and I see a bronx as the base. Now look at look at mine. I see Staten Island as like well, sorting out of a pis. Okay, scary, let me rephrase that. I made a mistake. Now to look at the map. It is a penis hanging down. Okay, but but no, but the balls are still Brooklyn. Look

at it. Yes, okay, maybe I don't and queens Queens is the area above the balls, it's the bunt venus rather the no, the area above the yeah that the taint, No, not below is the taint. Jeans is the pelvis. Brooklyn is the balls, The bus is the balls. The space between the balls and the anus is the babus the venus or yeah, all right, we're getting all this lightness down. This is we're talking. I don't know how do we get into this rabbit hole? We want this? We didn't?

Should we just the rabbit holes out in the back? But should we edit this? And I have no idea where we could see most Okay, I remember I'm midtown. But this is the part but before you go there, this is the part of most podcasts where like, guys, we gotta start, just hit the stop button and don't clearly don't thing. So midtown Manhattan, we have an office as well. The Mucketymucks were and occasionally have the big meetings there where they have the same food downstairs by

the bar. It's nice area. When you walk in, it's like futuristic, like this clouds like a smoke machine, gorgeous. And as you actually walk down radio hall, it's as if you are turning a knob on an old radio and the radio stations change as you walk down the hall, like you are the red the red for red beam or you know the radio they used have a red marker that show your channel you're on, Yeah, you're that thing.

So as you move and changed the old school dial scan like and so there's this giant staircase that they have like a constant area. And then at the top of the staircase is a recording studio radio station. Studio. Is that the venus, No, it would be the it could be the base up at the top. So um, that's where like when big shots are in town and need to use the studio they use that one. Yeah, that one we've never been invited to, we haven't. I love that studio. It's red, Yes, it is red. And

the Brooklyn Boys should do a podcast. We could, you know what, there's two of us. It's a nice little room there. Are you good at math? You know? I would say this that, Um, maybe we could do a podcast from there and broadcast it to the entire building up there. You think they would appreciate that. I don't know. I don't know, all right. I wanted to get that clip from from today. I wonder if um Garrett loaded it. The audio from The bad Man upset me so much.

Brian Williams it's he played it today for it, but I don't know where it is. MSNBC. Yeah, if you type in MSNBC, it'll come up as Brian Williams. This is this was awful. He did this live on the air yesterday and he had he had somebody talking in studio with him. Who is who is he with studio? Okay, but anyway, she goes along with it. But listen to this he read. He read a tweet. Well, I'm what I'm doing is I'm vamping here Brodie in case you didn't,

you know, looking at Brodie's running the board. So what I'm doing is I'm just shop buying us some time so there's no dead air and we don't have to edit this saying listen to this, Well, well I'm gonna wait till you hear this is what I should probably have said, wait till you hear the clip Brody is feverishly looking for in the computer with Brian Williams doing

bad math. And for some of you who complained on Twitter, this maybe a little too loud for you, so lower your earbuds because we got a complaint that all the audio we play, including the male jingle and everything is way too loud. All right, So this was this was a tweet that was going around over about a day and a half. Somebody, I don't care who it is, don't tweet me. Somebody named Mikita Rivus m e K I t A. I don't care. She is right. I looked it up. I didn't care. After I saw who

she was, I don't care. So she was talking about Michael Bloomberg mayor Mike New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, who was running for president. He spent five hundred million dollars on ads, and they so they wrote, Bloomberg spent five hundred million dollars on ads. The US population is seven million. He could have given each American one million and still have money left over. I feel like a one million dollar check would be life changing for most people. Yet

he wasted it on all ads and still lost. Now here's the problem. Five hundred million dollars for three seven million people is a dollar fifty three a person. A million dollars would be three seven trillion, I believe, which is not how much money may Bloomberg has nors and how much she spent. So this was a woman who does. In her profile it now says I'm a woman who's

not good at math. She probably changed it to that when she realized how stupid her tweet was that that is the most ridiculous tweet I think I've ever heard. But it went viral and a lot of people don't aren't good at the math, and somehow it wound up on MSN because people were tweeting it, and we're very upset. So here's what I wanted to listen to. So I was watching this Live last night at eleven and eleven fifteen,

whatever time it was. I immediately filmed it with my phone and posted it on Facebook and my social media. I couldn't get the video up on Twitter because it was a large file, but I put the screenshot. Okay, so let's play what they read the tweet. But I want you to listen to this clip. And in the middle it sounds like Brian Williams is telling you you're about to catch the mistake like I did, but he doesn't. Here.

This is the guy who was us population million, don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math. He could have given each American one million dollars and I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true. It's disturbing. Okay, it's not an incredible way. It's not true. What he should have said right there is could you believe this person in this tweets? Now when he says you're probably doing the math ahead of me,

like you're probably jumping ahead. I thought he was gonna go because it's wrong, but no, he agreed with it, and she and and the talking head that was with him agreed with it as well. Now I think her name is Marta Gay. She's works for the New York Times. Both bright people, both both both people process it. So then unless not she maybe in her head realized it and like, I don't want to upstage Brian right now and tell him he's wrong on TV. No, No, clearly

they they were in on it. Now, Look, I understand when you were talking head on television even though you're bright, they're both very bright people that maybe he's starting to teleprompter and his producer said, hey, this tweet went out, we got to talk about this, think about it, and you know, when you're on live television, maybe you don't have time to think about it, okay, And she heard what he said was like, yeah, it sounds like oh my god, everyone you know. But it wasn't three seven

billion times a million, so it was wrong. So two minutes later I don't have the audio, but he came back and he said, I just want to clarify, Uh, that amounts to about a dollar fifty a person. I'm not good at math, and truthfully I wasn't really focused. He apologized. He got caught well, because everybody tweeted at him and at both of them, like why did you get the mat? Now, this is the same guy who got fired from NBC because he said that he was in the Gulf War and he made he said I

was there. He said that, no, he was there. What he said was that the plane he was in was shot at, but it was the plane in front of him that was shot at. Hell, he was embellishing, he embellished right or whatever it was. But hasn't do math. I didn't want to. I didn't want to around. No, instand, I don't want to, you know, confuse anyway, he wasn't lying about the tweets. Just terrible at math, terrible, embarrassingly

bad atman. I got a lot of gripes today. Okay, I have some I got company problems I have it is it me or is it? I'm putting it out there? Hold on, it's gonna I wanted to put it out there. I have I have an easy pass rant that is coming today. It is it was gonna punch somebody when I was on the phone with this propect. Let's do it. No, no, no,

I don't have to work my up to it. It's bad Okay, so you're talking about your parents, whoa you know, we always say we we should always cherish the time without parents, right, and we should, you know, and as you get older you want to spend as much time as possible with them. So last Sunday morning, my mother calls me up and it's like, and the knee. We think we're gonna go to Industry City for brunch because

with it like a farmer's market in there now. Now, Industry City is a group of what used to be old out, dilapidated buildings that were factories that they've now turned into beautiful places to eat and drink and walk around. And there's a shopping mall and farm is whatever it is full of the Yeah. Anyway, so I said, ma, I'm like, it's eleven o'clock on a Sunday morning. My girlfriend is self quarantining herself from me. I'm not with

her right now. That's a whole other story, self quarantining herself. She quarantined herself from me. She was in a self quarantine mode. I got you, I said, So that's a whole other issue. Uh, my grandfriend is not seeing me since I got back from my trip because of anyway. But that's a whole of the story on the Big Show and on the fifteen minute Morning Show. But you have the cool you know, Yeah, I have the cooties anyway. So I said, MA, perfect time, you and Daddy let's

go meet me. Come come to my building, Daddy and we will go to brunch. Come just come. It's Sunday morning. There's nothing going on but Anthony. But there's so much traffic that I'm like, Ma, I travel on Sunday mornings. This time there's no traffic between here, Jersey City and Brooklyn, the normally rush hour. I get it, but it's Sunday morning and I've done this. It's Topsy said so yeah.

So she goes, hey, man, it's twenty five that much of a difference, I said, thirty yeah, right right, I'm no, I'm I'm I'm putting an underlined tell what you're saying. It wasn't. I wasn't disagreeing with there are red lights along the way. I was accounting for them. So she's so She's like, we don't, but there's traffic. And then I then I, okay, so I shoot that one down, Like okay, I said, Mom, trust me. Well, you'll park in my garage. You know, no, there's no parking. There's

no parking around your building. She's hold on getting that right. So she's like, there's no parking. I'm like, Mom, I'll throw you in my girl visitors garage. It's okay, don't worry about it, said Coronavirus Anthony. It's like when they don't want to do something, they don't just tell you they don't want to do it. They have to pile excuse after excuse after excuse. I must have shot her

down three four different ways, like dispelling her problems. I'm like, but what about the brunch place is gonna be crowded. I'm like, my, I'm are open to and it's open right now. But your father wants to go to a dina. Okay, guess what. There's a great diner in Jersey City. We don't have to go to the Boogee brunch place. We'll go to a diner. I must want to see you guys. It's Sunday. But your father likes Brooklyn Water right. She she just threw everything at me and then finally, why

don't you go see her? Then I said? And then I said, look, I'll compromise. I said, you come into the city and I'll meet you in the city. I live in Jersey City. In the Manhattan is halfway. The dick is in the middle between the woman and the walls. Right, it's by the poop the foopa of the between Brooklyn to the left. Okay, right, So I said, ma, I said, come on, you'll have to travel fifteen minutes, no problem. But Antony, then how are we gonna get a spot

in the city. We're gonna be circling? I said, ma, please. And then then by this time I hear my father in the background starting to get is he not falling? For the first five I don't want to drive there. I don't want to and I'm sitting here on the phone. It had to be about twelve minute minutes that I was trying to convince my parents and I wanted to see them for prunch. I just wanted, Anthony, your father wants to be in a restaurant where you aren't. That's

what they said. They should they should have just come right out with that, because here's what the problem is. You're right, and you finally said, I said, look, I said, with the city, all right, I said, I said, I will meet you at a place. I said, it's open table. I said, I will get your get you can park in the garage by the radio station. I said, it's gonna be fine. But then we have to take an uber and it's just too much, Anthony, It's too much.

It's too much going on. What's going on? There's going on. They don't work, they got nothing, but time they retired. It's Sunday, and I'm like, you know, you know, it's rare that, you know, I'm alone on a Sunday morning because usually with my girlfriend mich let's have praunch. But but but Anthony golf is on the television. Dad doesn't watch that. What he thinks he might start right, here's

why they're not coming. If you had given them grandchildren, they would come to see the I'm not joking, that's what's that. They're like, it's Anthony, Yeah, you had you had a couple of kids. Do you think they would do that to Stephen? Do your brother or your sister? If you have your brother, said when did your brother live? Long Island? He lives in in the middle of Jersey somewhere. He lives in the Orange lives in West Orange, South Orange. Yeah. And did they go visit him? Yeah, because she is

he has a baby. Thank you, he's a thank you. That's my point. They'll make that truck. You live four, I would say, I live. I live half this. You live another half hour closer than he is, maybe four minutes. Yeah, I know where he lives yet ye. So, but that's why he's got a dog. He's got a house with properties an extra rooms in case they're tired and needed a nap. He's got it. It probably has an extra refrigerator in the garage. So well, I'm not rolling out

the welcome wagon for my parents. Well enough, I don't have because I live in a in a high rise in an urban area. Like when I say urban, I mean like you this moment, No, I want to let people know that I meant okay, okay. So you know it's this Sunday two days from now. It was last sund No is that this happened on the phone live when she called me to see how I was, to see how I was. Do you mean what do you mean? Live is opposed to be? No, it happened. It all

happened in real time where where it was just happened. No, she it was an unplanned It wasn't like I'm making plants for this coming Sunday. It was a Sunday morning. I get a phone called Kevin o'clock. My mother was calling to ask about my well being. Anthony, how are you doing? And then we get this conversation. I'm like, where are you going right now? We're going out to brunch. By the way, they were dressed at halfway out the door. Okay, haven you gotta do is getting the car and draw

Have you spoken to them about this Sunday? No? Okay, here's what I wanted to do. Let's call your mom and say, hey, Mom, I just got bad news from your girlfriend. She she can't see you Sunday because she's still quarantine. Right, I have no plans now, I already have the reservations and uh, you want to get together? When she says, no, you go, mom, I was gonna surprise you, but Steven's bringing the baby. He was gonna surprise you. You You gotta come and see if she doesn't

change your mind. All right, We're gonna call him right now. I again, I'm telling you it's the kid. Think you think it's the kid? I think it's the kid. Yeah, hold him. I see if I could do this right in the studio here, I want to. I mean, but but these are my parents. We could do spur of the moment things. We don't have to plan brunch. This is the It bothers me so much. I thought I was the favorite son. No, not with our kids, you're not. I mean, I was the firstborn. Yeah, but then you

disappointed them. God when you dialing them. Now I'm down. Now I have a question for your mom before you see if she's home with my father's home mm hmm. By the way, I'm gonna ask you mother question if she answers, and then have my mom on maybe next week and ask her the same question. Oh, she would gladly go to brochet with you. Okay, call call this number right here. All right, Your mother's I'm professional not answering the phone. She's busy, she's got places to go,

she's she's she's running away from me. Oh, Anthony, we just can't because this clouds out, you know, you find that's the thing that's been my entire life. She's put they put fourth excuses that make no sense. And then when you dispel any any problem and you clear the path, they come up with another excuse. Yeah, my seminary child, so that never happens. Oh, Anthony, I can't answer the phone because I was sitting ma. Which number trying to call you? I'm sorry, I just saw miss call, but

I didn't there was no number. I'm at the nailsalon, the salon. What do you need to talk to her? I'm having my nails to well, answer the phone. Yeah, I mean I hung up on the Okay, go call. She's at the nails. Oh, it is Friday. She's such a creature of habit. I love it every Friday to remember. Remember, you're gonna ask her. You know where she is. She's next door to Dr Fat Laws. Okay, Scary, please record your message. That's what the nails? Is it? Right? That's

just stop? I got it the nine one, there were this one? Right? This is the morning. Hit it again, hit it again. I'm hitting it up, just calling myself on my instruction. Do you know this about my mother? Okay? Yes, Anthony, Hi, he would Roady Boys podcast. I moms, Cary, I good moms. Here. We have two questions for you. Were sorry to bother you and I wait to get you now sorry, I have a quick question for you, and then uh, Anthony

has a longer question. Here's my question for you, and I want to know how you would react because you raised this man, and I want to I'm sure you will be outraged. Last week on our podcast, was it last week of the week before? I was telling him that my mom has lost a lot of weight and she can't find she can't wear the jeans that she bought prior to losing the weight. So it was a

whole big story. I'm sure you're listening in order. When you get up to one seventeen, you'll hear it about how I had to return her clothes to levies because they no longer fit hard even though it was past the return date. So your son says to me, oh, she lost a lot of weight. What sized pants did you wear? Now that wasn't a nice question, right, How would you feel if I asked him in what size um clothing you wear? I wouldn't answer you, right. You

know why I wouldn't ask that because my mom raised me. Right, So I want to know did you raise him to talk like that about other people's mothers? I you know what? At this point I don't know what to tell you because you've been out of my hands for a long time and it's the influence of another woman. Uh, well, I'm not really, I'm not blaming anything on his girlfriend. I'm to stay that's not him. But the bottom by

that was an inappropriate question. Correct, it was. Now listen Anthony as a question for you, I'm gonna I'm gonna let him ask you privately. I'm gonna go to the bathroom right back. I go ahead. I just good bye. Um. Sometime day that you get you say too many things, you get yourself into trouble. Well, you really do what you think because you speak, you speak without thinking and you've been told about that a lot all the times. What are you doing over there? What's going on? Having

my nails done? Yes? Are you wearing a mask? Yes? No? She is just want Okay? So yeah, I think we should you go to brunch this Sunday. I can't. We're going out with the Bruisos. We're going to Michael's them. That's dinner. No, it's lunch, three o'clock Sunday, Sunday. What about and that we were going to? Um, what are you guys going to Michael's yes, because we're going with the a couple of couples from Staten Island. We haven't seen what Anthony do Saturday. Could Saturday brunch? I'm a can.

I'm going for my hid Okay, I gotta go to Lisa one o'clock. There's no time. I can't even go see it Millie that day, so you know, and then I'm leaving after that. We're going to Florida. Hope to god. I don't know what's what's happening with this stupid virus. Okay, well right now

we gotta go. We're gonna go back to our podcast. Okay, I'm honest, Skath talk too soon. All right, Okay, thanks, all right, take care? Thanks by right. She doesn't, she doesn't. She made plans for the whole weekend play for the whole month. She's like, oh, there's no traffic problems. Now, there's no traffic problems. Now, how come there's no traffic do you hang up. How come there's no traffic? Oh? I got planned some brunch Sunday. One of Mic goes,

You talk sometimes you say things to get you in trouble. You know what, God bless her that she she has plans. She has plans. All right, well, I got a couple of things that this right now, yeah, all right, right back. Hey, this is Chris as Stephano and this is the Brooklyn Boys Podcast with Scary and Brody.

Now can I talk about Instagram for a minute? You you can talk for an hour about Instagram because I have the same gripes as you. Okay, so you know I do. I try my best to respond to every tweet, every post on Instagram, every d M. A couple of things have happened since I've announced that it's become Mayhem with the d ms. It's like seven d ms over.

I can't keep up. Some of you guys are doing the over d m NG and you're like, oh, I know you don't want to get too many d m s. But and I'm and I'm trying my best to keep up. It's gonna come to a point where I can't keep up because you guys are d m ng stuff, you know, like m It's sometimes it's stuff like you don't need to DM me, you can just post. It's too much sometimes yeah, you know, I've I've noticed it's like whack them all. Um. You know, d m s come in.

You see that blue dot, you open them up. They know you've seen them because it says seen. So you respond, and you go back, and you go back and you write all of them back. And now guess what those people now write you back and then an additional team come. And by the way, I love that we have fans and people want to I'm just saying people want to talk to us and I And by the way, if you know Scary Jones on Instagram, you know I answer pretty much everything that comes and try my best. And

that's not my issue. My issue is, again, I love the interaction and I try to get to everybody. My problem is lately people are sending me stuff for other people on the show, saying, oh, show this to some and using you as a conduit. So I've gotten that before. Two times this week alone, somebody sent me a video of someone eating mayonnaise at a sporting event and another

there was two videos Danielle. Now, I so I right back, I go you You sent it to Danielle and they wrote back, well, she doesn't respond and see them I know you do, right. Well, that's the thing. You and I are both known now for opening responding. Now, I can't speak for Danielle. Danielle listen. Danielle as a co

host on the Elvis rd Morning Show. She has a lot more followers than I do, and so she's overwhelmed with how many d m s and what I get that and I and I love that you guys know that she hates mayonnaise and I we love as members of the show that you get it. You get in on the jokes, right and I laugh at them. But you're asking me now, I know it sounds easy, because like you think, we're all like in a little room and we're like, look at my phone, look at your phone,

look at my phone. Sometimes I see those into d ms at night, and now I feel guilty. I have to remember to the next day show. Them a Danielle or I have to forward it to her, and we already know she's not gonna see it because she's overwhelmed by d MS. So I can't forward it to her because you guys would have fowarded it to her. So it's a burden now that I have to live with. It's your cross to bear, Brody that you didn't show Danielle the mayonnaise video. You're putting it out at night.

You opened it up. So here's what I would say, and you tell me if I'm wrong. Here scary if you think Danielle would love the video, but you don't think I'll love the video, like it means nothing to me per se. You don't have sent to me because I'll go, oh, it's a mayonnaise video. I'm not crossed up by mayonnaise. But now I have to live with that, and I have to go, hey, Danielle, you have a

chance something. I am busy. We're doing a show. After the show, we're doing phone taps, were booking guests, We're doing different things. We are, but I want you to know I feel a huge amount of guilt and pressure all night at home, and you know, so by the way. I know it's gonna be funny if you're the first one, but you're not going to be the first one because you're all gonna hit this podcast and go, hey, send this Elvis and this. We get the joke, right, I

got it right. If something is a viral video, there's a good chance by the time it reaches us, we've seen it. Right. But if you saw something like a spelling error, like a funny thing, and you want to say, yeah, that's that's fine. What I'm saying is what I'm saying is now that you know that, it's an overwhelming burden for me. And I'm by the way, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it is a burden. Don't go home

when you hear this. So when you can go, I'm gonna phote him a video for Coast of Boy Josh, I'm gonna phote a video and go, ha, I bet him the first one. You know what, you're not the first one. I got. I already made the joke, already busted a joke. I got my seven hundred scary You look like Randall Emmett La LA's boyfriend Fever And they send me a picture and by the way, I'm I'm grateful that you even thought of me. I'm like, oh my god, that's that's cool. But it's it's funny because

I bet you didn't know. Hey, did you know that diamond from the sounds? Yes, Yes, we've also played a Diamond or melacunas game. We play clips of both of them. Have done that bit. Yes, maybe i'll play a clip here for while we're doing that. So my point is, let me if I can find diamond or me. And while we're on the topic of Instagram, I have to have about something that happened so scary, you're you're you you know diamond, Yes, right here, right here, let's play

is this we're playing hold on high Diamond. We're playing We're about to play around the diamond diamond. So everybody says, you're telling me Lacoon is but Meg from the family, you've been on the show now for a year. Yes, And so this is I'm not strong, but I know a lot of ways to destroy a man emotionally. And this is another person saying the same thing. I'm not strong, but I know a lot of ways to destroy a man emotionally. It's very similar. Yeah, there's different reverb effect

on it because it was on TV. But yeah, we were just saying, how you you don't hear it? No, not at all. I think the very last one. I think it's the shortest one thousand dollars, right, but it's gonna be hard to get that kind of money. I mean, I'm not one. Actually Meg is short for something else. Actually meg is short for something else. Sounds exactly right. But by the way, she she sounded different when she was on that seventies show than she does as Meg.

Oh my god, she's gorgeous. Oh my god, she's gorgeous. That sounds exactly How do you not hear that? I'll I'll tell you why you don't hear it? Number One, you're used to your own voice. You understand that it's like nuances that are different. Number Two, you hear through your head, not through your ears, right, so through your head your voice sounds different. Why don't some to the podcast? I know what my voice sounds like, because I've heard

my voice obviously in this business plenty times. But it doesn't sound like what my voice sounds like in my head. In my head, I sound sexy, unlike I sound a lot better, you know, in my head than I have to on this podcast. Yeah, no, I don't. I don't think that sounds like her at all. Right, did you even know who Mela Cutis was before you started working here? Kidding? I'm just saying, can we discuss I don't want to take over your no, no, go right ahead. One of

our interns didn't know who Aliyah was? Okay, well, I'll tell you. In all fairness, I think a lot of people listening to this podcast don't know who Leah was. You have reference no Aaliyah? No I said Aliyah. I think that a lot of people listening to this podcast if you told them she was the one who had some music in the nineties, who went who put too many people in a plane and when it tried to

fly crashed to the ground and killing everybody. They remember an R and B singer that that happened to, but they may not remember that that was a lot of the way. If Scary said Leah twenty seconds ago, when you back up, tweet us and let us know what I said, Ah, I'm I'm lazy tongue today. I have

lazy tongue better. What's her big hit? Are you that somebody she's had five of the baby sound effects in the Yeah, well I'm going I'm gonna turn the volume off until we get to the plot with the baby crying. Played the whole song on the or I'll just do the baby crying. He didn't know that pink was a big deal in two thousand. Yeah, that every thing's been around a while. Hother's me, It bothers me. She's still not singing. Here's she comes? Yeah, no, it's still not

come here. I got hold on, No still not what version is this? Is this the like extendo twelve inch DJ Remick It's probably probably the four minute I gotta turn it down. I'll come back to it. The baby crying is there? You think? So sometimes I'm goody goody sometimes No, No, it's still always toward the end. Thanks for your help. Oh yeah, I gotta go. Here comes here. I was a has a yoused. We waited uh five

seconds for that anyway. But yes, the truth is that unfortunately people born in the year nine eight whatever, whoever he's born, but we got yes, he doesn't. He doesn't know music from when he was three or four years old, and just made me feel Yeah, diamonds in her twenties. She's like these kids today, Hey, Diamond, do people d M you and tell you to show them, like show this DM to somebody like, oh, oh show so and so I was just saying how I constantly get d

ms like oh, show this to Danielle. It's a Mayo video, like you, I don't get that. But my page is private, so a lot of people don't even go to follow. Why are you private? You're a public figure? Okay, sorry, I got too excited that, right, No, it's just because I don't know. People leave like really bad comments. Sometimes I just want you to know that you decided to be here, you know what I mean? So you have to people off to request to be there. Yes, okay,

all right, all right. So what I was getting at with this whole reminded me of an old comedy bit from a legend one of the greatest stand up comics of all time, George Carlin, and he it says, this is old school the way people talk to this is probably from late seventies, and uh, this is a classic bit, and it reminds me of the d M thing with like, oh, show this to Danielle. Here's him talking about the when you're here, Here we go. Now, here's a situation you

run into all the time. You notice how when you're leaving someone a lot of times they'll give you a message to give to someone else, Like they say, give my love to Klaus. Tell Klaus Rebecca sends her love. Do you mind that? Do you mind being used that way? Do you mind the awesome responsibility of having to carry Rebecca's love to Klaus? So you don't see clouds? What are you gonna do with Rebecca's love? Carry it around? Give it to someone else? Maybe Wilhelm, I can't find Klaus.

Here's some of Rebecca's love. Suppose Wilhelm doesn't know Rebecca. Can he legally accept her love, especially when it was originally intended for Clouds. Suppose you give Wilhelm Rebecca's love for Klaus, and then you see Klaus. What are you gonna give him? Oh? You had was Rebecca's love, and you've already gone and given that to Wilhelm. Can you logically ask Wilhelm to give back Rebecca's love to Claus.

Maybe he's gotten used to it by now. Suppose Rebecca gives you her love to give to Klaus, and you do see Klaus, what form should the love take? Can you risk giving Klaus a tongue kiss? So there you go. That's how I feel like, Oh, give her my love. Then you have that obligation. So so something that's that happened in the seventies is still relevant today. Yeah, you're you're giving people a responsibility to deliver your message. That is fantastic the way it all it comes full circle.

I'll tell you what there was no such thing of in the in the nineties seventies, but is happening today on Instagram, which is what happened to me last Friday when I left here. Do tell We went to Whole Foods and I'm sitting in not a client. Don't play the no, no, no, I'm looking. I have a whole food story looking for them. No, I have a whole food story that I'll take your whole food story. All

of a sudden, I'm there. I'm there for about an hour and a half, all right, and I'm just being scary like to do, looking around, not looking around me, but just looking at the food and looking. Then I go home and I see on Instagram on my story with me copied Scary Jones looking into the ice cream freezer, and he keep fucking some some creeper Slice from Life.

That's why I know he's hearing this right now. He s post on his instant story and mine for all his followers, and he copies me on it that he secretly video taped to me. Well, by the way, my head was not in the ice cream freezer. It was in the shrimp freezer. I was looking at the frozen cod okay, I was looking for fish, but he called it ice cream to just to beat me, you know, make a joke. But I said to the guy on Instagram, I d m him back. I'm like, yo, I'm like, hey,

why didn't you say hi? Because I'm a very shy person. I'm a Slice for life. And I'm like, well, you weren't shy and fucking creeping a video behind my back like that. That's crazy to me. And by the way, that's not the first time someone has done that. Were they They literally like they saw me somewhere, they videotaped me, and then they fucking posted it online. Craziness. Yeah. You, By the way, we have to stop saying videotape whatever it is he taped me, You know what, I'm saying

we have recorded me. Yeah, I asked him, don't you want to do wouldn't you rather? Wouldn't you rather take that time to say hello, shake my hand, have a conversation, and take a picture with me. Yes. But he's shy, I know, but I said to him, shy people don't whip out their phone their phones and start recording people. I don't know. I feel like if I was shy, I would I wouldn't do any of the above. I'm not gonna say their name because maybe I don't want to be known. But no, no, no, say his name

because he's a fan. No, no, he listens to the podcast. I'm looking for the video now. Actually a good guy. He's a good guy. But he sent me the video first and he said, I just want to confirm is this scary? And I said I said yes. Didn't you ask him? And he said no, I'm too shy And I said, yeah, it's nice reference. I said, you can't be shy in life, man, you gotta just go up. I said, you're a fan of he said? He said coincidentally, he was listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast on Instagram.

I was listening in my earbuds and are you weren't front of me at Whole Foods? Well, isn't that full circle? Don't you want to have like a live conversation with me? Right? I said that I go because it said hello. Yeah, I don't want to say my head was in the ash cream freezer. I was clearly looking for cod anyway looking I don't have it. But the thing is, I guess celebrities were not celebrities, but celebrities get that all

the time. Yeah, I guess it's got to be a cringe e thing, right, someone following you around and filming you, filming you like without knowing. I don't know. I mean, if you're on stage and you're doing a show, that's one thing. Dude. I'm not even famous. I told you I got people. When I get my hair cut in that new place. I saw them in the mirror taking my picture, and then they called me like an hour later, like to verify my phone number. All right, I mean,

I mean, what do you make of that? I don't know what you make of it. I was like taking aback. I mean, I'm flattered. Um, But next time say hello, come up, say hi, let's take a picture. That's something you should have had this ready. You should have gone through your m and got ready. Can I tell my my Whole Foods so that not a sponsor. There's a company called Fresh Pet. It's the only dog food my dogs eat. And I had posted a picture um on

my Instagram. People like, oh has done an ad? It says in the post, not an ad, but they had dropped off some free products here and I took it out. By the way, it's okay for us to do ads in our social media. We all do it. We're all competent, but it's only products that we use. Anyway, I posted the Fresh Pet because I was like, oh my god, this is new line. Figure. If you had a dog, you should know they have a new line of like hamburgers and chicken burgers. You were doing a public service.

Oh yeah, sure, sharing them because my dogs really like the product. Okay, so you're free dog food? No, not at all. If they want to send it, that's fine, but that's not That's not why I put it up. Anyway, my dogs I got home, so I took the picture. I posted it after my dogs and eating it. They loved it, but after a while we ate they ate it all so as we were running down. We had like two burgers left. They look like burgers and hamburgers.

They're ridiculously like they're really good and then like when you cut them up, they don't feel slimy. It's not a commercial and not a sponsor anyway. Uh, so I was running low. So I I went on the website and I and it says on the website only available whole foods now the normal fresh pet stuff for the common dog. These are like to go a may line, it's a upscale. It's in the refrigerated section. To it is, well, the regular stops refrigerated. It's it's a refrigerated product. It's

chicken and cranberries. That's right. There's a refrigerator case in Target. And uh, no preservative in my and I I shop at at a historical shop, right, that's our local big chain of grocery stores. So I tweet them and I say, hey, listen, your website says only Whole Foods carries the upscat whole food it's free range dog food. Anyway, So I said, can you is there any place in my area? They're like, can you d m us? I DM them and I

said where do you live? And I said, this is there, and they said, no, the only place you can get it as Whole Foods. So I went to Whole Foods and I paid a lot of money for the packages of burgers, nothing but the bets for mutzi mussy mussie sticks. You know she name muzzarella and drew anyway, so my so I went. I went to Whole Foods I had. I didn't bring my own bags. I paid ten cents for the bag. No I saw anytime, so I always forget my bag I bring. I bring the food home

that Whole Foods I don't. We don't do like the full shopping and Whole Foods. Whole Foods is like I need some of that sauce. They only sell their. I need the thing they only sell their. But you can't really go shopping that. They don't sell soda. I need soda. I can't go there. I need soda. It was high fruit. Those corn syrup they're not gonna not not the diet coke, diopepsi. I drink some high those corncert no corner. That's worse that fucking asport tame and fucking I know. And they're

running low because of the coronaviruschemicals, chemical sugars in there. Yeah, okay, I listen, chemical sweeteners, okay, all right, So that's why they don't sell free range soda there. Okay. So I so I pay the Whole Foods price. I'm like, wow, what am I gonna do it? Only sell a whole food Okay. So I go to my supermarket the next day and they have it there right, fresh bed right. So Friday I went to Whole Foods picked it up. Saturday I went shopping a shop right to pick up

a couple of things we had to have. Then Sunday my wife went shopping for the full family, shopping all the stuff we needed. She went to a different growth. She went to Wegman's. Now, Wegman's is an upscale grocery store, but it's it's massive. So like you know that supermarket that you live near your shop at as nine sauce choices, they have twenty seven sauce choices, they have a bakery, a pizza, they have a car wash, they have a pool hall. I mean, it's just a massive It's like

the costco of supermarkets, white stand offense people. The point is I am so you know me I I can't make decisions. I'm so indecisive with everything I do. I need a store. Narrow it down, give me the three best lines and stuff I like choices, So I get the text Mesdy seven and choices of sauce. So when I'm at shop, right, I see that the burgers are there. They're in the refrigerator case with the normal stuff. They

now carry the burgers. My god, they taught me only whole Foods, and it's like it's a few dollars less. And I bought a few packages of food and all foods because I don't want to. I didn't want to have to go back every week, so I brought a couple of weeks worth their vacuum bus. Well, Whole Foods will charge what they think they can get, right, not necessarily the best. Right. And then so my wife texted me and says, hey, they're they're cheaper here at the Wegmans. Also,

what the what the so? I? So I tweeted Fresh Pet. I say, at Fresh Pet, Uh, you guys told me it was only Wegman's and now it's at every place I'm going to. I went to the movie theater next to the popcorn with the dog Burgers. So they tweeted me back, We're terribly sorry. The website needs to be updated. We checked the website for your answer, even though I told him I'd already checked the website. They wanted you to go to Whole Foods and pay a premium price

for it. Well, no, they didn't know. Whatever the they didn't. They don't make the same they get the same property the wise anyway. So I said, oh, well, that's great that I can now buy it in my store. But between you and me at Fresh Pet, I overpaid four dollars a box, like I was a lot whatever was. So they go, oh that, please d m us with your address. They said, expect h make good in the mail. So I got a free dessert from Fresh Pet. We

call price match because their mistake. Again, people I've talked to even as not even I appreciate the apology, but I overpaid it. I got to be honest, I wouldn't have even thought to complain about that. I would have just been written it off as I'll tell you what fuck it. I didn't know any better. No, I'll tell you why, because how would I have known better. There's a new product. They were promoting the website says only Whole Foods When I put in my zip code, right

lead you to the place that charges you four. So not only did I overpay, but I also went to the store when I wasn't going to the store. I wasn't going to the store on Friday, but I had to get dog food, right. I could have waited until Saturday or Sunday when when we went shopping at the regular grocery store. So I made a special trip. So I got a free dessert. Huh. So my point is you can point out when somebody messes up, even it was unintentional, but they cost me money and time. I

pointed out very nicely, that was it. Now I got free desserted Fridays, yesterday Wednesdays. I got free dessert on Wednesday, so I had I spent the day with my mom, Mama Brody, and she says, you know what, I'd like to get a burger at at Friday's, but I don't want to sit sit around. Let's go home and watch some TV and we'll go back to my her house. Whatever, let's do take out. I'm glad your mother decided to spend some time with you. My mother never says, no,

what what's that you called? She got my I sometimes called I go, Mom. I'm like, I'm on the turnpike, I'm fifteen and it's away. Oh come over. That's great. Yeah, it's nice to have a conversation with my mom. I gave a three grandkids. She likes that anyway, so I don't have to bring her. I just have to bring her stories of the grandkids. I don't have to bring them. I tell her show pictures of the kids and the dogs. She's thrilled anyway. So I called, they go, It will

be about fifteen minutes. So I got great, all right. So we get there like eight minutes. We sit in the car for a few minutes. I go in. I sit at the bar because the bartender is gonna bring me the food. Very friendly bartender, and she says, oh, what is your order? I give it two? Okay, Grana. So at the fifteen minute mark, I'm just sitting there checking my phone. My mom's out in the car. I don't say anything. She says to me, Hey, um, you should food should be out in a minute. I said,

you know, they said fifteen minutes. You know, it's like fifteen minutes. It's fine, you know, no problem to three minutes, four minutes goes by, five minutes go by, it's like, you know, nineteen minutes, twenty minutes somewhere and there somewhere in there. And I'm not really I'm not getting upset. I'm just sort of like sitting there at the bar. It's lunchtime, so it's it's like two and afternoon, so it's not crowded, right, so I'm just kind of and

it like I saw a thumb sitting there. So she says, uh, it's taken longer than it should. I like that. I guess do you guys do the head nod to each other, like it's time for free dessert. It's time. It's time to get the general general manager involved, you know, she said. I said, um, now, because I feel like that is it's kind of like an understood moment, like, all right, we've passed the time of waiting. Well, that's just it's it's it's now, it is we've now entered the free

dessert zone. Well right, and then the music for the Twilight Zone starts play. So she knew, and I knew, but I didn't say anything. I just gave her a look like, you know, you're not busy. She couldn't say to me, the kitchen swamped and there's nobody in this stay and then and then the onslaught, and then she slid this to me and went, here you go. What does that say there on that card right there? It says come have an appetizer or dessert on us? Free dessert. Free.

Didn't even ask for though. I think free appetizer is better. Absolutely, My point is free dessert in regards to him. By the way, that's absolutely with an app Absolutely take if you have a choice between free appetizer or a free dessert, take the free app especially because by the time dessert comes around, you may be fall and then you can't

use the exactly plus. But the appetizer is worth more usually right, And I know you can retro and use it for the appetizer, but you know you want to order that extra appetizer when you know when you're ordering appetizer for free, you don't go, well, I was gonna have the Mozrella sticks, I'll just use it on that. No, no, no, Now I want the case of dia and yeah, I want the bonus. I want to feel the bonus, right, if you just take it off the check, you don't

really feel it. You're like, Okay, I signed my credit card. You ever felt the bonus, Brodie? No, but you know what I'm talking about. If I if I get the Mozarrella sticks and confused time when you were growing up in college, you felt the bonus. I was never confused in college. Never. Look, I know, I'm sure there are men that experiment in college. That's what you do, and it's a it's called a play on words. Yeah, and look, there's always that stereotype that women tend to experiment more

in college. That's fine. I'm just saying I'm not one of those people at the time that ever had any intention. Let me tell you something. I graduated high school sixteen, okay, and I was which is two years too early in your opinion, when I got to college, even when I was in high school, because I was two years ahead, and my kids in my class eight to believe that you skipped too great, No, I skipped one and I started first grade early, a year early. They were like,

you gotta get a kid in school. He's a genius. Anyway, my point was I wasn't getting male or female in high school or college when I first got into college. So if I had wanted to experiment, it would have been twice as many people saying not interested. So there was no need for me to experiment. The women want to know part of me, and the men's sure as hell didn't want any part of me, because if they're going to experiment, it wasn't gonna be with me. You

were in college at sixteen years old? Yeah, anyway, my daughter graduating, My daughters graduating at nineteen next next, a couple of month, she skipped grades too. Oh yeah, what my daughter graduated sixteen. She took a year off from school, entered college at seventeen instead of sixteen, and graduated college in two years. Yeah, who is this wizard child? She's my kid comes from smart parents. Mm hmm. Yeah, but you're also you're also denying her her childhood. You're rushing her.

I saved two years of college tuition. Oh sweetheart, you want to graduate college in two years, you go right ahead, go for it. I will tell you that. Hold on, no, no, you save two years of college tuition. Listen. I didn't tell her to do it, I just tuition. Now we've talked about. We've talked about diet grape soda on the podcast, not the grape soda from the Chinese restaurant, but diet grape soda, and our listener Lacey, we can't find it. It's at a shortage, very few brands. Fanta makes one.

I can't find anywhere and in my area. Although maybe Fresh Pet has diet grape soda. But Lacy Goodson, who lives in Alabama, sent sent me a case once of diet grape Pico. Grape Pico is an Alabama company. Now, if you google them, I've already searched the web, so you don't have to waste too much time. They'll show up on Walmart's website. They'll show up on Target's website, but they won't ship them. Target won't ship them. Walmart won't ship Walmart will ship me a couch furniture? What

like his bookcases? Is it a Tuscaloosa exclusive? I don't know. Okay, so you can buy it on eBay a case like of twelve cans, but a can of soda is normally like in a case, it's usually for a case of twelve ten twelve dollars. When they're on sale. Okay, you want to talk about body eBay, they're like twenty eight dollars six dollars? Who want to talk about a markup

and getting ripped off? So you didn't buying that ship The only place you can buy it at at an even reasonable price that will ship it to me is Amazon, and it's it's somewhere between twenty four and thirty depending on which somebody has it is selling it right because they know you can only get it. It's really good diet grape soda. Take my word as a grape sorte enthusiast. Okay, So I'm said, you know what I'm not. I'm not paying for a ten dollar cases soda. I can't do it,

even though it's good, I can't do it. Lacy, you spoiled me. Okay, So I I I email grape Pico and you know what, after all this time, I'm gonna just email grape Pico, I said. So, I said, Hey, I'm trying to uh to find your product. I'm a big Fannie product. Um I sir, thank you for getting back to me. You really don't, oh, I said, I'm having a problem. I just explained in the email what I just said. To you. I can't find it, can't nobody ships it. Is there any company that ships it?

Is there a local shipper? There's gonna be some way I can get it in New York, New Jersey. I can't do it, And I said, it's twenty four dollars. I don't want to pay twenty four dollars. Here's what the back, Hi, David. Oh, you can order directly from us a case of grape picco twenty four pack, A twenty four pack? Oh boy, here comes will be ten Oh? How much is the shipping? Shipping is typically sixty dollars? Then they said, well, twenty five to sixty, depending on

your location and the weight of the product ordered. Would you like to proceed with ordering? And you're like a hell no? So I wrote back, thank you for getting back to me. You really don't think I'm paying seventy dollars for a case of soda, do you? I told you it's dollars on Amazon and that was too much money. So I don't know how you think that's helpful. I asked you how I can get someone to shipping on

the normal pricing? Walmart ships everything, right, you spend thirty five it's free suthing like that, I would buy thirty five dollars worth of soda. A couple of cases have ship it. They won't ship it. So my question was, why is there a ban on shipping this soda out of state? Their response was, we'll ship it seven seven dollars. So I don't to say a few grape picco. But I'm feeling like, up yours a grape picco? Up yours grape pico, grape Pico. Yeah, That's what I'm feeling. So alright,

that's not my rant. I still got the easy past. Let's do it, alright, Come up next, coming up next. Alright, Hey, this is Jim found here listening to the Brooklyn Boys. All right, now before we get into the rant, did you have anything else on your mind? No, I don't want to clear the air. I do want to suggest something that you have to handle it. Okay, what's that? I want to create a mailing list, an email mailing list. If people send what's our email address the Brooklyn Boys

podcast at gmail dot com. I feel like it'll take a couple of weeks to compile before everyone catches up to this episode. Yeah, I know, I just met a guy on whose episode fifty seven. That's he's up to, right, But for the most part, people are at least in

the one teens hopefully right. I would like you to email us if you want to be on our email list, and Scary will create a large email that will go out to I don't know fifty of you, Let's say the first fifty sixty people, the people that don't know when it's like there's look, there are some of you that get to eat that you already know in the podcast.

You check every Thursday, you check every Friday. Yeah, if you're someone that waits until I Heart Radio tells you on Monday there was a new episode, and you want to know if it's Thursday Friday, or you want to know when we're delayed from Thursday to Friday. Scary can set up an email list and then shoot out an email to all of you letting you know when number one is a new episode and number two when the episode is delayed to day so you don't keep checking.

That sounds a good idea. I like that idea. Okay. By the way, um, we could definitely use some more reviews on Apple on iTunes. Uh, and we should start listening to other means as well, because we get the credit on iHeart Radio no matter what. So definitely listen on iTunes, Definitely listen on Spotify. We're on Spotify, We're on Pandora. We want to try and crack those top one lists, and the only way we're gonna do that is if you listen through those uh those um portals. Right. Yeah.

So now I'm trying to figure out, um why we slipped so much on the podcast chart for heart Radio. Well, we took we took a week off, took a week off, and then we lost some steam there. So I'm hoping that this this episode, we need we need you guys to go back to the old not downloading the episode so we get the credit every time you hear it, multiple platforms, all that stuff. Okay, and by the way, thank you Jamie Fazzina for submitting your issue with the

with the app, the I Heart Radio app. We are looking into it. Yeah, randomly rewind itself like a minute or two. It's really really it's happened. Yeah, Well you know what I was having a problem with.

They heard it, all right, Mark Demers wrote to us on our Facebook page at the Brooklyn Boys Slice for Life. Wanted to say you guys are the best.

You make my day at work currently going back through all the episodes, including the off air show, I wish we had more time with you guys. Brodie you are the ship scary you still, oh Brody Steak did all right? Right? All right, all right, I've read enough email. I'll email with that, alright. I don't need to see that alright. So let me tell you what. Let me explain what easy passes. Easy pass is similar to things you have

in every city, big city around the country. It's those tags, a little white tags use a little box you put in your window, and suction cops are on your dashboard, and they allow you to go through the toll booth and it reads your your your your your pass, and it charges your account and you don't have to stop and deal with the toll booth and given money and all that. If you don't have one of those, thank you because you go in the slow line while I

zipped through the easy pass line. Now, over the years, we had my wife and I had two cars right, one each, and we had old big square easy passes. And around ten years ago the batteries died and we had to get new ones. Okay, okay, so I ordered new ones. They sent new ones. I think they sent them automatically, they redesigned them, whatever the case. And we're supposed to send back the old ones. Well I never sent them back. I put them somewhere in the garage

and I lost them, never to be seen again. A couple of years ago I found one of them. So I've lost one to have one, all right, So I technically have four. The two new ones, the lost one somewhere, and the old one I found that is dead, has no battery. It is used. I explained it. Didn't you hear that sun pass? I just explained the whole thing. Don't you listen to a podcast? I know I was. Actually I was writing back to Mark Denner's and telling you, I don't know, I don't I don't know if you

know this. I'm a podcast professional. So before I tell the story, I explained what they need to set it up. All right, Sorry, alright, so back to you. I now have four on my account. But as I explained a couple of weeks ago, I bought my middle daughter a car, so in a few months when she gets her license, she has one to drive with me or my wife in it, and to drive around the neighborhood as she gets better. We have a car for everyone to use, but primarily it's for her to have. So she has

a car. It's a little older, so I have to worry too much, Okay, so I need to get an easy pass for it. So I'm like, you know what I better do. The ones are dead. I have them now. I knew this from a while ago. If you lose them, they charge you sixteen dollars, but if you never return them or mention it, they just leave it on your account. So the lost one I never mentioned. The old one. I had to go looking for I find it. So I figured, you know what, I'll go on the website.

I'll put in that the battery's dead, send me a new one to replace the one that I need. Now. So I go on the website and uh, it's so. I called them first. I'm sorry. I called them and I said, hey, I got this old one. I have the serial number. I want to get a new one. Says we have to go on the website put in it that it's an old one, and then you need a new one. Okay, no problem, just do that. She just because you have the serial numbers and you gotta get to go through your account to do that. Oh,

I can do it online, no problem. They're easy Pass website. Let me tell you something about easy Pass. There is nothing easy about easy Pass. The website looks like it was designed in the nineties. It's a clunky piece of dropped down owns and everything's gonna reload. It's horrible. New York easy Pass, New Jersey easy Pass. I've had them. Both their websites suck. But this is New York easy Pass. Okay. So you go on the website and the only options

they give you are lost or stolen. Either of those, they're gonna charge you sixteen dollars. If I reported stolen, they charge you sixteen dollars because they don't believe that they figured you lost and you're looking in the drop down, you're looking for dead on, dead on, dead right battery. Okay. So it also says I have four and they only allow four on the account, So I have to return this one. But there's only option is to say it was lost or stolen. But I haven't. I don't want

to get charged sixteen dollars. Okay. So I called back and I spoke to Crystal. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna look into my crystal ball right now. If this ship doesn't end well, Crystal told me, I tell Crystal Christmael told me I should go ahead and market lost your stolen, and I said, I'll be charged sixteen dollars. I have the tag. I just want to return it. Why did the woman I spoke to ten minutes ago tell me there was an option and so that you could tell you. Now you're telling me I have to

market lost your stolen. There's no third option. So she says, well, sir um, there's no third option. I said, I'm calling to tell you there's no third option, and you're telling me there's no option. She says, I'm sorry, sir, you should know there's no third option. It's like if so, I said, It's like if I called you and told you my house is on fire and your response back to me was, sir, your house is on fire. I

already know there's no third option. I then said, how do I go and put in a claim that my battery is dead without getting charged? She said, you can mail it back. It takes two weeks for us to receive it, and then we'll get a new unit out to you. I said, so that means I'll be with out an easy pass in my new car for three weeks. That's unacceptable. She says, well, sir, there's only two options, stolen or lost. And I said, I know that calling you.

Please stop telling me that I called to tell you that. I said to her, what do I do to get a new tag? She says, I can check the system and see if there's a claim already in the system for you get a new tag, and I can send you a new tag because of the dead battery. I said, there isn't a claim on the account because I didn't put in a claim on the account because there's no option to put a claim in the account. She says, no, we might have put in the claim when the battery died.

I said, you couldn't possibly know when the battery dies because the battery has been dead for ten years. I haven't put in a claim. She said, well, give me your account number and I'll look it up to see if there's a claim, and if there's a claim, we can get you a unit out as soon as possible. When we received the dead unit back, which takes two weeks, I said, I already know there's no claim. I didn't put in a new claim, and even if there was

a claim, we're still at the same time period. If there wasn't a claim, She said, sir, you're not listening to me. There might already be an a claim a claim in there. I need to see if there's a claim because if there's a claim, that will get you a unit out to you. So I said, what would I have had to do to put in a claim because I'd like to put an a claim. She said, well, sir, I can't have you put an acclaim to like check to see if there's already claimed. I said, let's pretend

there's no claim. If I called you right now and I said, may I put an a claim? Why would you ask me if I could put an acclaim there's already claiming? Why would I say, can I put an a claim? If I already put an a claim? Sometimes we put an a claim for you. No, you didn't. You did not put an a claim for me, she says. She says, well, did you put an a claim ten years ago? Because you may have put an a claim

ten years ago. I said, if I had put a claim in ten years ago and you didn't send me a new unit to replace this unit, don't you think that's a problem. Also, why does it take two weeks to send me a new tag? Mail takes three days? Well, sir, that's business days. It might take two weeks. So I said, what does business days have to do with the fact that it takes two weeks. You didn't say it takes ten business days. You said two weeks. Why should any mail takes two weeks? Even if it was three to

four business days, it would still take one week. It wouldn't take two weeks. So she says it might take two weeks, sir, if it takes two weeks, Uh, that that's we want to protect ourselves, I said, Crystal, If it takes two weeks to mail an easy Pass from New York to New Jersey, the United Postal Service should be out of business. Well, you could send it certified mail, and this way you would know when it arrived. So I said, how, Well, knowing when it arrived helped me.

It's just gonna get me angry if I know it arrived and yet you didn't send it out to me for two weeks. Why would I want to know that? Wow? What advantages it to send it certified mail? Is that faster? No? No, it's actually ten times slower. I had a problem with certified That's correct, it's it takes longer. It takes longer. Dude, they put that ship in a lock box every step of the way. You have to have a thousand signatures. Do not send shit certified mail ever, Right, So I said,

how does help sending certified mail help me? Terrible? Get this faster? Here's the clip of her saying how it helps me? Ready? How there's the clip. That's how it's flunny to me? So she says, she says, sir, I'm not sure what it is you want me to do now, I said, what I want you to do is find me someone who cares that your site doesn't have a third option. She says, I do care, sir, and so you know, don't bother looking for it. The site doesn't

have a third option. I already that's why I'm calling you, I said to her, I would like to speak to somebody else. Who would you like to speak to her? I said, I would like to speak to somebody who doesn't tell me there's a claim on my account. If there couldn't possibly be a claim on my account for a dead battery that I haven't reported for a decade. I want to speak to someone who doesn't tell me to send a certified mail when that doesn't help. I want to speak to someone who will get me a

new tag in less than two weeks. Why can't I put an a claim with you for a dead battery? If you guys can put in the claim, why can't I put in the claim? Can you put in the claim for me? Now? If you have to go to the website server part of Lost the Stone, so I said, But I'll be charged sixteen Why can't I tell you there's a dead battery. You're telling me I have to send in the unit, wait up to two weeks for you to get it, process it, wait at least another

week for it to come back. You're asking me to be without an easy Pass in my car for two to four weeks. What the problem is? I hold on, I said, you're asking me to be without your service for two to four weeks. You're losing business on this easy Pass, so you want me to be without this for two or four weeks and you think that's fine. Is that what you're telling me? Says, Yes, sir, that's correct, I said, And you don't think that sucks. I'm not at liberty to say, guess what, fucking easy Pass? The

problem is, they're the only game in town. And when you're the only game in town, you never ever have competition or anyone breathing down your neck. You don't have to do better. Mediocrity prevails every time, right right, You'll always fucking be shit, and no one's gonna come around and swoop the business out from under you. You don't have to worry. Easy Pass is a monopoly. They're the only one. So if you don't like it. Tough titties don't have an easy pass pay cash because that's your

only other option. It's either these played by these rules, or that's it. So that's why their website is from the fucking nineties. That's why the only two options. That's why you get shitty fucking ass attitudes like that on the phone. I'm angry for you, Brodie. So there's no there's no fighting. So you know what, why didn't you just pay the six team? In this case? Just pay the six team? So back, I could just feel like, you know what, I'm gonna report it stolen? No, I

called back. Yes, So I called back. I spoke to a third person. I said, what happens if I just reported stolen? If I reported? She said so? She said so she she told me something that Crystal didn't tell me. It's stupid, but she told me a solution. Put it in his lost, mail it to us and when we get it, will well, well will unreported lost for you and refund your sixteen dollars. I said, does that make any sense? Well, no, but that's the best we can do.

That's because that's the way our website was wilt. And so she said website buttons on it, right, So so she said the refund. The refund will take up to ten business days. Disgusting. So I don't even know if I got the refund yet because I'm in the middle of waiting like ten disgusting, disgusting, unacceptable. But you know what in other in other you know versions, like you know with the with the FedEx rant, you can go to ups. You have other companies. This is other companies.

There's no other company the company. I can't pass for pay cast right, I can't use a streaming service. I can't like call Amazon and have them give me. There's no other paths. So it's like you're dealing with it. You're dealing with our fucking subpart, shitty ass, fucking attitudes, and our representatives who can't help you fucking argue away out of a paper path. Let's speaking of I'm okay, speaking of shopping elsewhere before we leave, let's give the

let's give our listeners the slices some good news. We had a conversation this week. I don't know, okay, okay, we're like the ground where is it coming soon? Conversation because people are now going to jump on us we had a conversation with a merchandiser about creating our merchandise for our merchant store. Are excited about right, so we are that much closer. Also, we have been laying the

groundwork for a live broadcast. Now are friends at the Tails over Cocktails podcast which we have we look, we've promoted it. We're friends with them. You know Danielle Delolo from this podcast. She's on that with our friend Wendy and Astra and West. They do a very funny relationship e podcast Tales over Cocktails. They were supposed to do a podcast to night tonight and we were supposed to be there. In fact, we promoted it on the air.

And so because of the coronavirus fears, some of them founded, some of them may be a little overblown. I'm not saying the viruses, but in this story, the club and a lot of the people that were going to the club have decided it's not a good idea to do this tonight. Some people canceled, they don't want to come into the city. They want refunds, so that that live podcast is off. So we know the slices don't care about viruses. They will come to see us they are

the viruses, and that's correct. We are still looking at closer to the summer, maybe maybe when this is a little more under control. But so shout out to Tales of Cocktails, their their their thing was canceled, but shout out to us, we're a little close to the merchandise. When I when when when those podcasts goers were when you know those clubgoers were going to get that refund I'm wondering if they had to go to the website

report they're lost the stolen to refund um. One of the things we did talk about with the merchandizer is there some items that because of the the limited amount that they're able to get for us, like weird items. There may be some things that are only on the website for a couple of weeks. We do some limited time like if they can't, you know, get to make that product long enough. So we're working on it. What do you say, what I want? We gotta get out of here. I don't feel like we should go. It's

time back to old studios next week. So the court progress, boy boy, I w gladm
