#135: Dr. Douchebag & The Elevator Idiots

did there by the way, I think I apologize. I got a d M yesterday that said, hey, when's the new Brooklyn Boys episode? I want to hear boys back in the Brooklyn Boys back in town? Yeah, well here it is. That is a that is a slice. Who um, who knows the deal? That's that's what we play. Yeah, we always play when we come back for me at least a one week break, if not two, in this case three for three weeks. Yeah, it was Erica. It was Erica P thirteen. I think who's yeah? Who said uh, yeah,

they wanted to hear the song. I think, well, nice, good to hear that. Yeah, and you know people have paying attention and it's good to hear your voice. David Brody yes, I saw you had a visitor at your your apartment this week, Sam from our show and her boyfriend Um William came over to pick up a microphone. Yes you saw that, and she she said she hadn't seen you in many months in person. We're both wearing

masks by the way. Yes, yes, you were good, and it reminded me that you are the only member of the show that I've seen since quarantine. Because I came to your apartment as well, Yes you did. Then I'm coming again this week, right, Because did you get the delivery today? The delivery came in. It's in my trunk. As we say this, don't worry. It fell out the back of a truck and it's in my trunk and

you could just put it in. We're gonna go trunk to trunk with the delivery that came in that is sitting there and waiting for you to stop by right now. You want to tell them what it is? Yeah. So, my favorite, absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the New York New Jersey area is Carmines, which is family style Italian, which means you order spaghetti meatballs. It's enough for four people. All the portions are huge because you supposed to share with a table full of people. I like to go

alone because I love the food that much. I just did. I don't care taking leftovers and you do family style by yourself. No no, no, no, no, I'm kidding. But they often bring food up to the station. We become very good friends with ownership and Glenn, the executive chef of the company. They also own a Virgil's Original barbecue. Um and anyway, so uh, they because of the pandemic, I guess you know. Obviously restaurants aren't open for indoor seating in New York in the city, and they don't

have any space to put outdoor tables. So they're trying to come up with ways to to make more money. So they are now jarring. They're amazing tomato sauce and how jarring Now their guests they're jarring it and uh, and they're selling it. And for a while they weren't shipping it outside of Manhattan. They were just they would deliver it, but they weren't like putting it in boxes

and shipping at nationwide and what they were doing. How about this, I don't know if you've heard this, if any restaurants in your city wherever you live or doing this. But um, most of us on the Elvis Straight Morning Show live in New Jersey, so they can't deliver directly to your house from Manhattan because we live like minutes from the city. They now are doing centralized delivery. If

you heard of this, scary is that? So they'll take like twenty orders in advance, let's say for Thursday, yep, and then they'll drive a truck out to a like a parking lot of a mall or and then everyone will come and pick up their orders. So they'll make like one trip on Thursday, one big trip on Friday. And so if you live in north central or or southern central New Jersey, roughly they'll come there. They did Long Island to hit the jingle on you. No, no, I don't get any money from calm you hold on

a second. You just admit that you're gonna take shipment. That's part. I emailed Glenn and I said, Hey, are you guys shipping to New Jersey? And I want to buy some jars of sauce? Yeah, And he said, you know what, Scotty B wants them. Also, Scotty B runs runs one of the boards of the two boards in the morning that run the show, Scary runs the other. And he said, you know Scotty wants them also, I'll send them up on Friday. I said, well that'd be great, um,

but Scary's there and Nate's there. We would need enough for four. If you're sending it up, you don't have to. I want to order my bottles. He said, don't be ridiculous. I got a guy going downtown Manhattan with a ship, but a ship Mint, I'll drop a couple of cases off for you guys. I said, great, if if Scary can bring him home, I pick him up at his house. He played right into your hands. You knew that was

going to be the absolutely not. I went on the website a couple of weeks ago to order, and I'm gonna show you how it works. Here's here's how it works. And he's gonna like drop drop ship gravy to you or sauce. They packed them and ship them. Now I understand, so she he's gonna be like that. I want to show you how it's done by drop shipping you some sauce. So just so you know, you have a half a case of of jars of sauce in my trunk, fantastic

from Carmines, wonderful, can't wait, it's my favorite. Love it anyway. So uh, it reminded me I'll be seeing That's why I Sam reminded me, I'll be seeing you again. Uh, probably after the weekend, once you come back from Covid Beach. Right, well, so, well, before we get into Covid Beach, Sam, Uh, if you noticed, Sam was holding a jetty blue microphone. She was borrowing mine because hers went bad. That's why she stopped by

to pick up my mic. And it was habit in silver. Well, lo and behold, after all these months of me bitching and complaining about the sound of your voice, notice here we are ten. It's in already having't complained about the sound quality coming out of your studio. It's because you have that same microphone. Yeah, you havehone you're conditioning off. I turned the air conditioning off in my base. I know,

but the quality is so much fuller. This is a much better sounding and and and four eighteen thousand, six hundred six dollars less than your home system. Yeah, you could keep saying that, you know, We're just okay. The sound quality is better. But your voice is just as greating as it was before. Thanks, man, you're just as annoying. I'm kidding, I'm working with you, bro No, no listeners are going to think that there's a problem and that

we're fighting and that we're rude. Wait, we have to make sure that so you mean, we're so you mean, we're not kidding around when we say that to each other. I just don't want anyone who doesn't understand the Brooklyn sensibility that we have that when we insult each other, that's the bit. I would like to think. Everybody is a hundred and thirty five episodes in at this point, and they're all on board and in on the joke.

All right, Well, you know what I've been on the Elvis stray In Morning Show for I want to say twenty two years. Okay. My personality and character on the show is certainly not as defined as yours or Elvis's or Danielle's. But you know, I complain about stuff on the podcast, but overall, as a human being, I'm a happy, go lucky person. I live to make people laugh. But for the last couple of weeks on the Elvis End Morning Show, Elvis has gone to me and in my garage.

He'll call me, go, hey, gave Brodie on the phone, and he's like, what's wrong. I'm like, nothing's wrong. He's like, you sound grumpy. And it's the power of Elvis saying that. He'll say something's funny. People think it's funny. He'll say it's terrible. People go that it's terrible. He keeps saying I'm grumpy. So people are texting in why is why is Brodie so grumpy? Someone texted in today at six fifteen this morning, right right, Keep in mind I have

not been on the air since Tuesday. For whatever reason, Elvis didn't put me on Gamesday. There's your Frida. Six eighteen this morning, a text message came in and said, why does David Brody sound so grumpy? Oh my god? No, I'm like, what are they talking about? Well, because Elvis said so apparently, But the way you're making it sound, it's that people hear Elvis say something and they're immediately thinking in their head like their sheep, like their sheep,

their sheep. No, Elvis is a very reliable source, right, They respect him, they listen to him. There aren't people individuals enough to come to their own conclusions on every theory. Scary. When you say a restaurant's good, you hope that people believe you right. Well, I hope that they try it and then decide for themselves. That's what an endorsement. Yes, but in order for them to try it, they have to trust you to try it. Right. So if Elvis says he likes a book, then for a week people go,

what was that book? You said? They like that? Which is great. No, that's that's that is I understand completely. But you're taking it to another level where you're you know, where you call out a character flaw on somebody and then expect somebody to be like, well, that person said it, so it must be true. That's a whole level of that.

It's different from recommending a restaurant or a book. No, no, no, I think if somebody is like, you know what he sometimes I wonder and then Elvis says, he goes, yo, Elvis, if listen Elvis knows him, he mum, that he must know that I was right in what I thought. That Brody's grumpy. I'm not grumpy. I'm I'm you know, I'm grumpy. When Wayfair doesn't deliver my damn chair. But I'm not grumpy like during the day, I'm not by day, I'm fine.

I'm like a vampire grumpy at night. So you save it for the podcast, Yeah, I save it for the because it's not even true grump. No, no, grumpy is it's actually actually everything everything we do on the podcast is past tense. So it's past tense grump because it's it's it's like, hey, here's what happened to the other day. It's not going on like right now. Well, the only time it's current grump is if you say something that

makes me grumpy, then I'll grump at you. But other than that, nothing is lied grumpa grumpa brody Yeah yeah, anyway, so um you So getting back to Elvis, so maybe a place into the fact, Like he went to me twice since we're back from vacation. He's like, oh, Brodie, what you do on vacation? I didn't do a lot. I was like, So he was like, that's it, Yeah, I can tell you. And then and then one day he's like, so what do you what do you, Brody? What are you doing this afternoon? Because he went around

the room and everybody and frog. He was going to play golf, and Nate was gonna whatever. I was going to Covid Beach. Yeah, you're going to Covid Beach. And I was like, oh, I don't even planned. He's like okay. Like I didn't feel bad about my day until he was like okay. He gave you more credit than you deserved. He thought you were you had a purpose that day, but apparently you were hanging out in your your basement or your garage or wherever you are. I don't hang

out my Covid beach to have a purpose. Where are you right now? I have a well, right now, I'm in the basement doing a podcast, okay, with my slick sounding microphone, which, by the way, I got paid to get for free. You have a free dessert story about the fucking microphone you're broadcasting out of. Yes, shut up. How the hell do you turn that into into into them? Pay? I'll tell you. So. Is this an endorsement? Are you endorsing? No, I'm endorsing the mike. No, the Mike didn't do anything

for me. Um so, because you complained on air about the microphone quality, even though you told me to get the blue Snowball. By the way, blue is the name of the company. They're not blue colored necessarily. Then I know, a couple episodes ago, I told you I wanted the blue one. I changed my mind. I got the black one. But anyway, so Elvis told his assistant to get me one, and he wanted me to have it before we went on vacation so I could start doing the fifteen minute

morning show podcast with the good microphone. He wanted Broody with the good microphone, so he he ordered it off Amazon because they had it in stock them. So Amazon sells stuff directly, and then I'm uson hiss third party sellers that sell through Amazon, so you can buy like Bob's Electronics sells microphones, which, by the way, I don't trust. I don't I I don't like. I don't like going down that road. It's always a slippery slope. I like to deal with Amazon Prime or the people that make

Amazon itself right. Normally I try to buy it, but sometimes it's an item. The only the third party company is. But listen, I'm not here doing a commercial for Amazon and not a sponsor. I know, Hey, listen, I'm not um, I'm not no, But Amazon is a great job. So I'll tell you how they did a great job. Anyway, so Andrew ordered me Elvis assistant Andrew a co host of the UM serial Killers podcast. By the way, check out the new serial Killers jingle to open the show

this episode. It is a parody of a song by the Jonas Brothers that I wrote for the for the Boys that Scotty requested. Right, So Andrew ordered me a microphone because he wanted me to have it before we went on vacation, and best best Buy was UM. A couple of weeks backed up on this microphone because, as you pointed out, everyone's doing podcasting or radio shows from home. Everyone's buying microphones, and the Blue Yettie is a standard, solid,

affordable microphone. Yes, so I got this microphone and it was refurbished, meaning they stand behind it that it was fixed. That our word. Right now, I don't have a problem. It's a gift from from Elvis. Was paying for it, but it was a gift and Andrew arranged it. Okay, so I listen so far it's free. How did you get money from this? Okay? So the microphone came with a little card in it that said, hey, if there's

any problems. Here's the name of the third party company with our phone number and email address, so you can contact him of this a problem. He didn't pay for okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. So it came very nicely packaged, and it was silver. It was silver, which wasn't you know. We had discussed either the blue or the black gifts. Silver. Again, it was very nice, so it's fine and really nice microphone. I plugged it into

my laptop and it wasn't recognizing the microphone. And um, it comes with a mic stand like its own stand with with two bolts, one on each side like Frankenstein to hold it in place, and those bolts have washers. Well, there was a washer missing from one side, so it was a little bit crooked. Anyway, it wasn't being recognized. It's supposed to be plug in place. When you plug it in, it's supposed to say, so it never it was never recognized by your computer. Tried it on three computers,

two laptops in a desktop. It wasn't recognizing it. So I emailed the company that with a little card. I said, oh, I just want to let you know there's a washer missing and your Mike's not working, right, oh man, Okay, so that guy he will send us the copy of the receipt. So and Andrew sent me a screenshot of the purchase and I sent them the screenshot and he said, yeah, that's not our company. That's not us. You didn't buy that from us. So this other company sold refurbished with

the card from the original company. That must have done the refurbishing. So then that's not us. You didn't buy it from us. Were not responsible. So I tell Andrew. I said, Andrew, I gotta I gotta exchange it because it's not working. He's like, no problem, I'll try to do the return. And because it was third party, it's not free shipping. So you know, Andrew's not gonna fight like I would, because I would have called the company. Listen you, Mike doesn't work. You should pay the ship

it back. Andrew said no, I just just you know, we'll pay for the shipping. I said, yeah, but I gotta pay for the shipping because it's at my house now right. I can't bring it to Andrew to ship it. So I gotta pay for the shipping. No problem, It's fine, you know. Um, So I go to ship it back, and I say, Andrew, do me a favor if you could order me a black one from Best Buy there in stock now we're going on a two week vacation. No problem, great, and he did a great job of it.

I do want to say that when I sent the refurbished back, I got to see the I had to do the return myself. I didn't want to buy the Andrew on vacation, so I logged into his acc out which I told him, I'm like, what the new microphone? Scary knew the blue yettie microphone is everywhere? Right, So just take a guess how much Andrew paid for the refurbished d Okay, you're close. Wait what he paid more for a fucking old one that's got refurbished, that was

broken at one point? And al right, he got robbed. That's a scam. I know he wanted me to have it before we went on vacation, but even even with rushing it, I got it the Friday before vacation, so I didn't have a chance to use it anyway. So and then it didn't work. How much? Wait, hold on and what happen? First of all, I would never I would never pay that kind of money for a refurbished winning If anything, it loses value and you're paying less.

So here, I have a question, and but I love you, Andrew, but I have a question for you. Scary is that someone who just was just trying to get it done or like or was That's somebody it's not. It's not my money. That's somebody who's spending someone else's money. That's what you think. That's what I think. I love you. I love Andrew. I think so just like I gotta go powerwash my deck. Let me, I got other things to do here. Let me just buy this ship. Okay. So you think if Andrew was buying it for me

as a birthday present out of his old pocket, right right? Okay, But hold on, this doesn't answer the question, how the funk you got this? You got money back? You you're in I'll tell you. I'll tell you. So I had to I had to pay for the shipping. So I went to the post office, right okay, and I paid for shipping. It was twenty cents, right. I called eBay before I went to the post office, and I said, hey, listen, there's no option to return this with free shipping. When

I tried to return it with the company. They sent me a label that says add postage. So the woman I spoke to said, oh, though, that's because it's a third party. They don't normally pay for shipping. Now I had two options. I could call the original company that Andrew bought the microphone from and say, oh, no, no, you sent me a broken microphone. You should pay for the shipping, which is only right. I shouldn't have to pay for the shipping, Okay, I said to the woman,

Do I call the third party? She says no, no, no, no, no, We'll make a note. You call us back and let us know how much the shipping is and Amazon will reimburse you. Okay, So how much money did they hold on? Now I got the receipt. It's almost time for a first commercial break. Yes, I got that. I'll talk faster. I got the receipt. I got the receipt for the

shipping ten cents, and I called Amazon back. They had notated my accounts, so when I called back, they knew the story, and I said, listen, I just want to get my ten dollars and cents back. I'm not gonna lie, lie and tell him it was more money. Because it wasn't. And she says, well, how about this, and how what would you have done? Scary? She said, instead of refunding you ten dollars and twenty cents, would you like a twenty five dollar gift card Amazon? Of course, yeah, that

makes sense. I took the twenty five dollar gift card Amazon. So I made uh, fourteen dollars and eighty cents. That's awesome. Now did you did you pass that on and give it that to Elvis since he paid for the microphone? No? Because I paid for the shipping. Yeah, but but you Yeah, but you paid how much of the shipping? Right? And it was a gift card? Yeah, but I had to be on hold twice and make the that's Elvis's money. But that's the rest of me going to the post office.

But the rest of that, Elvis is money. I think you'rel was fifteen bucks. I don't know Elvis fifteen bucks. Yes you do, because it's fourteen dollars and eighty cents. Four cents. You owe Elvis fourteen dollars and eighty cents. That's not your money. That's not your money. That was money's gone. You're gone. You are a scumback Okay, I agree with those people. Andrew got all his money back to the credit card that he used. You benefited somehow. You had something to say, He had something to say

about the beach one you want to talk about. I didn't want to talk about. I'm still talking about this bullshit. You he's got money, You've got free money. This is not your money, it's Elvis's money. I guess I just knew this was going on right now. He would actually demand the four He wouldn't. Elvis is the most generous person you and I have ever met. He would not ask for the money back because he because I I went to the post office, I made the phone calls.

That's the time of an effort for the trouble that it's an insignificant amount of money. It was just for the point of the story that I mentioned it. That's all. It worked out nicely. Sometimes these things have happy endings, that's all. I still haven't gotten the part from my chair from Wayfair. So, I mean there are there are times things don't work. Um, yeah, so so what do you do on vacation? BROI this is what you did on vacation. So no, yeah, this is part of what

your vacation. Yeah, you know what, I spent a lot of time with my family. The hot top I told you I ordered was is three weeks delayed. I just got confirmation today today being Friday, that it's coming Monday. It will get moved on Tuesday to my backyard and then installed and wired up on Thursday. So a week from today I will have a fully functional hot tub allegedly. Allegedly, yes, and home Depot already said that once it arrives and it's installed, to call them and they will reimburse me

financially from my delay. They said that, So how about that? How about that? How about that three week delay? They said, No, we understand, we have to make amends. I said, good, okay, they said, but we can't give you money now because we don't know how late it's gonna be. Once it arrives, we'll be able to put a price on it. How about that. Yeah, that's great. So you're all you were doing all you're doing during this time, while you were getting free money back and all that crap. You you

were poking fun at me for spending time. You dogs need some food, by the way, they don't bark for food. They bark someone at the door. Yes, they bark as someone's outside. Maybe it's way fair with your chair, yea, you know, listen, At some point, when it's actually a final end to the story, I will update the story. But right now, i've had supervisors. By the way, I was assigned a personal advocate, a personal advocate that said I will get back to you on July seven to

make sure this gets taken care of. A personal shopper. Yeah, my advocate Becky, you know, And I think I think Becky has the VID because she's been out on medical leave since the fourth of July. So my advocate is outsick. Right. The woman who replaced Becky when I called, who's now covering for Becky, Becky's boss or or the next level supervisor, Michelle, she's out on medical leave as well. I think she may have gotten something from Becky. I'm not laughing about it.

I think it's terrible. So anyway, when there's a real update, I'll give you up. Okay, those dogs are ferocious right now. If they're both arking, hold on, I can tell by the barking they're barking at the mailman. If my wife is home from work, then they go ballistic. Then they start like that. You could tell the type of bark and who it's for. So that's that is the postman bark. Well,

it's either the postman. If they keep barking for a long period of time, it means it means my wife is in the car on the driveway on the phone and she's she doesn't realize she's antagonizing the dogs, and because they're going crazy, they see her, but they can't understand why she's not getting out of Now are they

the kind of dogs that are so frenetic they start peeing? No, no, but they'll they'll run to the window, run to the door, they'll run around the house letting everyone know that Mom's home. I understand so that they're communicating. So you can understand your language because you see it all the time. It's a it's like being a parent. You know your kids usually well, nicolt Chillo had a my friend back in

the eighth grade. I'll never forget this. She had a dog and every time me and my friends would go over the house, my friends and I there you go, went over the house, she would the dog would go crazy, just like your dogs are doing that right now. But the dog would start peeing uncontrollably, and the dogs will go the dog will worrow ups with just spraying piss everywhere, and I'm like, I'm like, oh my god, oh my god. So so she had to like find ways to gently

introduce people into our house. If I had a pet, that pete every time we got a company, I mean, they weren't. I don't know what I would do. How would you? How do you even curtail that you don't have company? So, Okay, that's true, that's fair, But I'm just saying hypothetically, speakingly hypothetically, that's not It's not like every dog does that. It's it's a every once in a while you come across the dog that gets so excited.

But if you want make sure everyone who comes in the house treats them like shit, and then they won't be excited that people are coming over. There could be that that's conditioning, or you know, maybe the when I finally come to your house, uh uh and I get that invite to your pool, I'll be so excited I got the invite that I just may pee all over

your house or the pool. Yeah, that's another reason you're not coming, you know, so you're gonna relegate me to COVID beach is that it's listen every time I even think about, yeah, maybe I have scary come over that I have. The pool is is wide enough and long enough that we could definitely keep distance. Uh, I see you going. You you were at a hotel that we talked about in the last podcast, which clearly you were promoting as as being paid for the Berkeley Waterfront Hotel.

It's the Berkeley Waterfront and Asbury Park, and I was not being paid to be there. Scary, I was not being paid to be there. I could easily tell you hit the jingle now you could, but you don't have to. We can bypass that because I wasn't being paid. They're not a sponsor, hashtag not a sponsor. I'd love to have them as this. Okay, you're gonna you are about to hit the jingle on me because I got free sauce. Do you want to know? Well, then you know what.

Let's call it. Even as even we're both we're both we're both on the same level on that you're getting jaws, six jars and tomato sauce versus a week and a half at a luxury hotel on the Jersey Shore. They were. They had me try the Johnny Cash suite, so that they did so. Johnny Cash owned the Pills Sleep in a Burning Ring of fire. In the eighties, he owned the Aftwear Black. No, it's actually really cool. Hotel has a long storied passed. Uh so it's haunted. If you

could google this, it's a googleble thing. Uh please, And by no other reason, I'm just gonna mention the title. The last guy who paid for a room there. No sailors got stricken with disease on a ship back in the ninet whatever it was. Thank god, there's nothing like that going on now. Scurvy Jones had to stay there back a hundred years later. So so they that they died in the hotel. The hotel kept them there and they all died. So the third floor, especial Chilly is haunted.

But no, no, it's a good kind of haunted. However, they don't sell rooms to the public. I mean a good kind of haunted. Well, they're not gonna kill. It's not the Exorcist, it's not Paltergeist. It's not it's not the Amityville horror kind of for the friendly haunting yeah, but but apparently things like lights go on and off and all kinds of electric ship happens. But here's the thing that sounds like a rundown, like a bad building.

That doesn't sound like haunting. I think that's like, oh we did, we did have an electrician come in andfessionally wire but let's just say it's haunted. Anyway. It's a fun restored, renovated hotel. But they don't sell rooms on the third floor. For that reason, the third floor is off limits. In fact, the elevator doesn't even stop at the third floor. Why would you waste the floor there's

no button? Well, because well, they well they they they've now in modern times they've used that for for other things, offices and other If there was such a thing as ghosts switch there isn't. You're telling me that ghosts couldn't go to the fourth floor. They don't pass through the floors. They don't. No in fact, so so I stayed in this renovated suite that they wanted to showcase. And a hundred years ago, whatever it was, they know what floor every sailor was on. Johnny Cash was not hold on.

He owned the building and that was his private that was his private suite. So I was I had the I was, I was honored to stay there and I had not one. No, it was the top, it was the eighth floor. But my point is it was I I stayed there, and I was. I was not haunting that. Not one night that I wake up and feel like someone was breathing on me. Now one night that I was. Now one night that I feel like like lights turned off or on in the middle of the night, and

where I heard voices or sort of apparitions. See if you get your money back, No, listen to me, I'm saying, okay. So so so they put together this, but but also they elevated the food situation. They brought a new chef in. And you saw two DJs by the pool because they started this this kind of like this elevated pool party

on like on a Saturday afternoon. So these two shirtless d jay's were We're like, you know, they're like I called them chain Smokers Jr. They were mixing by the pool and they will play in all these classics and all these great songs, like whipping out songs in the

nineties and two thousands. I'm like, oh, ship, what a throwback these oh wow moments, you know, and we're hanging out by the pool and we're just good vibes and and then you know you have to like like yuck, my yum and the poop poo and my coco puffs and like, scary, what are you doing over there? No one's wearing a mask like. I didn't say that. I just said it looked. It looked a little, uh, a little like COVID beach, is what I said. We weren't. We were in our own groups. Just so you know,

we were socially distant. You know, ay close to the DJ's you are. You're way too close. I have a good lens on my fucking iPhone. Okay, the camera I was actually zooming was suming. So anyway, it's like you were like four feet. But but I did a stay cation of sorts, right right, which is by the way, staycation is when you drive somewhere close. Not not true, that is nope, nope. What is your stay cation? Then stay at hall, you do some things around the neighborhood.

A staycation doesn't mean you travel an hour and a half from your home and go to a hotel on a beach. A staycation is relevant to your travels, your normal travel plans. Normally I'm I'm the funk out of out of this country. Okay, normally I'm out of the state. So if you if relative to my normal vacation plans, I stayed and drove an hour to Asbury Park. Go ahead, you, I see, I hear you clacking away at the computer trying to look for stay cation. Type it in. Get ahead.

What does Miriam Webster stay What does Miriam have to say about this? Well, the Google, No, the Google. The Google says it's a trip spent at home or involving day trips to local attractions. Okay, that's a day trip to a local attraction, except that last days I slept there though, and then then, by the way, it's not a day trip. Then I came home, and then I went the other direction to mont Talk and I went out there for a few and that's here. Okay. People

ask what is considered a staycation. From Wikipedia, it's a period in which an individual or family stays home and participates in leisure activities within driving distance of their home, and does not require overnight accommodations. Says, oh yeah, that last part fucked me, fuck you Wick. So you went on a stay at a hotel vacation. You went on to stay there, casion, not a vacation. You went on to stay there. That's it for Scary Jones. That's to say that's a stay cation. Okay, I didn't get on

a plane and I didn't. And by the way, I am okay. I have a couple of things that happened. First of all, one thing that I need your opinion on. And I touched on this briefly. I don't actually I don't know if I brought this on the Big Show. So uh, I went to okay, picture this. I'm leaving my hotel room. I did talk about this very briefly. I leave my hotel room. And then and then I go to the elevator bank. Okay, is the four spots on the floor thing? Four spots on the floor? Yes?

And you you okay? This afternoon you texted me and said, what do you want talking about the podcast? I said, well, you had you had a lot going on in the last couple of weeks. I'm gonna rely on you for some stories. And you said, oh, I got some stuff from the Big Show. I said, okay, Um, just nothing that you talked about on the air a lot, and the only thing I was thinking of was this story, and you said no, no, no, I got stuff. So, um, go ahead, circle story. Because I have an opinion which

I didn't get to share on the big show. Okay, I think people would be very upset about this. I'm upset. Okay, okay, So he let me just lay this out really quickly out and then we really have to take a freaking break here. Um, this is very simple. Okay. There's four slots. There's there's four spots on the elevator. All these modern day at post COVID situations, there's literally four circles in

every elevator. That's how you get. An elevator is basically a square mostly so so, so two women walk in. Two women walk in there waiting for their third friend, I rabbi and want I want a priest, right, so right, So two women walk into an elevator. I I actually get there before the third friend hold the door. The third friend bypasses me, says, oh, thank you for holding the door, gets in the third slot, and then I'm going to go in slot number four in the fourth corner.

And then she looks at me and with a hellish grin, and we're all wearing masks. She says, hey, um, you aren't gonna come in here with us, right, And I'm like I was. They're like, she's, well, you're gonna take the next You're gonna take the next car. I said, does it make you uncomfortable if I take if I jump in here? She was, yeah, I would prefer if

you take the next car. So I'm like, Okay, I fucking held the door for this bitch, and the door closed, the door closed, hold on, the door closes, and I'm standing there with my dick in my hand. Well, that's probably why they didn't let you on the elevator. I mean, that's fucking bullshit. If I may rant for a second, I don't get angry or on this podcast, but I'm sorry, there's a reason why there's four fucking slots on that elevator. There's four corners. Whoa, whoa, whoa. There you refer to

them as women, don't be rude. There's four spots on the elevator, Okay, on all four corners, and it's it literally snickers on the floor. But hold on which corner was available? The back corner of the front front corner. They all walked past them to get into the back. The front one was available, the front one next to the buttons too. They hit there. But so so all I do was just kind of slide in and turn around,

and it would have been good. But after I had the decency to be a gentleman and hold the door, she all of a sudden decides that elevators are It doesn't matter that there's four slots on the elevator. Elevators are just for groups. So if I'm a group, if I'm a party of one or a party of two, we're a party of three, we get our own car. Go fund yourself. So what would have happened if you were the first one in and the three of them? You think they would have bailed and said we'll wait

for the next one. That's not my problem because I'm in the elevator. What if they wanted to get in the elevator you said no, no, no, I mean I bought him a party. I wouldn't have said that because I'm not an asshole. No, I'm saying, would they have been okay with that? Right? If these people are willing?

I would if I would have went in first. You went in first, and then they wanted to get on, and they were like, you know you, and you said to them hypothetically, yeah, I'm not comfortable you three jamming in this elevator. I'm sorry. By their by their logic, they should have been like, oh, that makes total sense.

I wouldn't. Yeah. But the thing is, I wouldn't have been that way because to me, the rules are the etiquette, the the modern day elevator post COVID elevator rules are, if there are four spots, I get you, you got four, The next four people go. If you want to choose to stand back because you you want to you you want to wait for your ends, because maybe maybe me and my friend would make five and we wait. Of

course we're not gonna jam into an elevator. But if I'm by myself and your three party at three, I'm that fourth person, you don't have a right to tell me to fucking okay, sorry, take the next one down? Right? But then, why didn't you get on? Because it made her uncomfortable? I could tell I could, I could see the look in her eyes. Well, had you gotten on, they would have been given you the evil I the

whole ride. Well, I wasn't about to argue with you know, it's just it's just just people need to be people need to need to wake the funk up and realize that you know, there are rules set in place, and it's not my problem that I'm I'm not part of your party. You aren't breaking the rules, you aren't the fifth four right now? Would you have been happy if the elevator got stuck without you on it? What if if a fucking ghost would have just shook the elevator.

Let's say they tried to get off on the third floor and it was haunted and they couldn't get off and the elevator got stuck in the building, we would have been like Karma would not have exactly, Well, Karen's a bit three. Karen's well, what are the other two women say? Anything? All happened? That looked like sorry, it all happened so quickly. It was just her and she was allowed mouth. Well, you were still holding the door, so why didn't you get a couple of verbal shots

in with the door open? You're holding the door open, right, you could have said like, I don't understand, I'll be facing the wall with my mask on. Yeah, well, I'll tell you what I should have. I should have just taken should have had a pork chop with me and just flung it down the hallway. Maybe she would have chased after it. I'm not gonna say anything further about her. Wow,

then I would have gotten the elevator. Wow. I don't think you know, now that I'm thinking about it, it was probably there probably was no room for me, now that i'm thinking about it, if I really want to go there. So you're insinua. I'm not saying anything. You could form your own limit. It's an old, old hotel, an old elevator. You know what, Now that I think about it, then maybe maybe that's what they were concerned with, that they were taking up more than their own one

space in the elevator. Right, But you're not fourth quarters ary, so that you would know it wasn't me. It wouldn't have been me. I saw the pictures you were wearing your slimming pink shorts. Yeah, that was like, you know, we gotta hit them angles man. Yeah, I did your favorite shot. You thought. You know, a lot of people

gained the COVID nineteen. I did not. I'm Okay, I will say this though I've been cooking a lot, and I hadn't been taking out, but the last three weeks from vacation on it's been nothing but eating out and and getting take out. And I'm not gonna lie. I've gained about six seven pounds just from that. So I've got to put a stop to it right now, because no,

this is it's not going in that direction. It's not well not having I've spent the whole COVID pandemic since March uh probably snacking more, eating much bigger meals to support the local restaurants. I have not gained a pound because I'm burning it off sitting on the couch. Well, God bless no idea how I have no idea how I haven't gained the OVID. That's crazy. Um. Anyway, all I could say is this that, Yeah, we'll take a break here. Just I just wanted to say that that's

a lot about this story. Yeah, like I I get it because I'm gonna tell you a story in a little while about a doctor appointment that you're gonna go. Well, you probably wouldn't let me an elevator if you're doing the right thing. I would let you an elevator. Thank you appreciate scary and rody man. I didn't. I just skimmed. I just skimmed the uh the list here of things. I just got one thing at him. But it was a good thing, Okay. Yeah, you know, and something I

learned in in um in mont Talk. And they probably don't want me to talk about this, but this is a Scamboni explained Montalk to people. Oh. Mont Talk is the eastern part of Long Island. It's also the most low key part of the Hampton's argue what they called Long Island Long Island. Yes, now it's it's the North Fork. It's a no, it's the South South Fork, the Longer Fork. Yeah. Yeah, I've never I don't think i've ever been. Well, it's an old it's an old fisherman's town, which is not

turned kind of cool. I guess it's only for old fisherman it was back in the day. It was an old fishing town. Okay, So here's an old fisherman town, old fisher an old fishing town. Some trout and and and jingle ready to get ready like you get it ready, like, but uh, I don't know what you're talking about I'm gonna say, is this okay that mont Talk Long Island is part of the Hampton's. The Hampton's known for American

knows it as oh did he and did he? And his white part is and the right specifically, there was a build up over the years and and the burble, the bubble burst on those East Hampton fancishmunt supporters. I mean, believe me, those well to do people still live out there and have their fucking mansions. But but this was the millennial, millennials answer. Montalk was the millennials answer to

all that crap. They wanted to just go drink cheap beer, play hockey sack and corn hole and and connect four on lawn and just just don't want to have to pay for uh, you know, bottle service and stuff. So what they did was they migrated. This new group of people migrated to Montalk. And by the way, they do not the old fisherman in town people, they do not. They don't mix well the old people that have been there forever and these people that come out there for

the summer. But again, these are people just looking for no hype, you know, just wanted just like a good chill time in Montalk. So when you were four or five, Jersey I understand. I took a four day break in my heated my apartment, which was roasting because for some reason, my h VAC the I don't know, the a C was out. All I could say is I got back on a Sunday night from the Jersey Shore, and then by Tuesday afternoon, I'm like, I gotta get the funk out here again. And it was just crazy. I had

to leave. So by Thursday, I'm like, I'm doing a weekend. My next weekend is going to be out Montalk. I'm going in the other direction. And right. So I was at I was at an event where or at an event I was. I was at a table, and all of a sudden, they were like, hey, so we're gonna do like a little bottles a bottles parade, you know, with sparklers and things. Hold on, I know you hate that. Oh you know me, twist my arm, but no bottle. No. Now. Now here's the thing the place had. The place had

socially distanced everybody. Everyone was social distance at at these tables. Okay, but all of a sudden, I get you know, everyone was at the picnic tables of you know, your party of ten or less, and and they were doing everything

the right way. It was an absolute amazing night. Okay, the DJ was everyone had masks on, the girls that were dancing had masks on, and and then every time they would do the bottles and all that stuff, you know, they're like, h, I bring out the bottles and then they would have a confetti cannon and sparklers and stuff like that. I feel so bad because the place that we were at, they they kept all the rules in place.

They did it so had they have ten thousand square feet outside, plenty of room to do what they did, right. And then a Karen called the fucking cops because of a noise violation, which they later found out to be somebody who works for the local Montauk newspaper who was one of those old Fisherman town people who doesn't who didn't doesn't like the parties that go on or any place that opens up that with any kind of uh exuberance. Right, So they just want to make a life living hell,

especially for businesses trying to get back on their feet. Right. So so she so they called, she's called for noise violations and I don't know who wasn't made the call. There's a freedom Act of some sort, freedom of information. At yes, there is fom of information. I'm pretty sure that you can. You can anonymously tip off the police, right, you have to give your name. What for it was? They knew it was her and coming from her, and she was a quarter and but no, and she should

have been. It was the same type of woman. She was a quarter of a mile away, just filing every night, calling the cops, just trying to get them. Meanwhile, the owner was so diligent. He had a decibel meter and he would go out beyond the property around the perimeter to make sure they were they were within their decibels on the property line, let alone a quarter mile away with it anyway, did did they explain the decibel meter? Well, here's the problem. They ding them for the fucking sparklers.

Can you imagine that this place there's up on page six of the New York Post from two days ago. It will tell you you're googling that right now. Nope, that Rush Meyers had a totally socially distant party and what jingle, I don't know what you're talking about. Hit I did not get paid to be there, Mr bitch, you know what, I did not get paid to be there. I'm not hold on you compared my free tomato sauce, which has a value of maybe fifteen bucks twenty bucks

to your week and a half of the hotel. You said, even now, you're going to rushmire whatever it's called. It's tried. It's tried. You're not gonna hit the jingle on tribe. Hey, no, it's hit the jingle. It's tribe head to jingle. By the way, how low is the volume on that jingle? I could barely hear it. Well, that's that's actually too much volume. So so anyway, if you look in the post, it said, we'll say blank, so we don't have to

jingle again. Yeah. Um, having socially distant party within all the bounds yet gets dinged for sparklers because they had to find them on something, right, I don't understand the skin, will you? Okay? Core to them. According to local authorities who confiscated two cases of the little spark of the Sparklers, they say that a sparkler is illegal and it's a firework in the state of New York, so who knows.

They may take him to court, but they got fined pretty heavily, pretty pretty pretty fun up though, because you know they all they market sells fireworks in New Jersey, like real fireworks, not like M A. D S, but you know, like stuff that shoots off sparks and colors. These are the sparklers you attached to a goddamn Tito's bottle as you're as you're parading it through the like nor any liquor bottle or any liquor bottle. You know,

we're not sponsored here. We're open for that, by the way, and by the way, we talked about that like six episodes ago. You can see I could have easily said Sky Vodka there, if Sky Vodka would have advertised hit it. I'm not. No. I know Sky has never been a part of our fucking show, and nor do I drink that normally. Have I ever been endorsing that? So don't, And there's no hitting enough. You've never You've never endorsed Sky Vodka. Never, never, never. If you get the endorsement

from this, you have to. I've only done Great Goose an Tito, but not are you currently doing either of them? Okay, but truth be told, that's what this is what they do. They have to give you a fine. Somehow, they gotta do something. And I think it sucks because this guy is a really great owner. He's a wonderful guy. He brought in a chef from New York City, um and um who's been working on his restaurant forever. Dining. Yeah, it's a nice place. The restaurant is called Etiquette. And

if you ever they're out there, go see them. But I did not get that. What stop stop it, stopping this in the place. For that, I'll kill you. I would slap your hand right now if you are Why wouldn't I want to tell people about a great a place to eat, great place? Why should they listen to you like this? We talked about this before. Why shouldst restaurant? All the time you said you people have to go

and try for themselves, that they have to try. You've never like, you've never ever mentioned the name of a business that you've that you've actually because I I tell I disclose, I tell you, oh I I went to this place. Did not earn a penny, did not earn a penny from these places. Let's move on. Let's move on. Um Uh. Speaking of earning a penny. We we I

started talking about this a minute ago. We we threw this out there for you guys, like five six weeks ago because we knew in the lulls of the summertime we would have less sponsors. And we said, hey, guys, if you want to promote a product, your own restaurant, your own business, your bagel store, whatever, email us. That was Brooklyn the Brooklyn Boys at gmail dot, the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot. A lot the type man, it's it's the name of our show, the Brooklyn Boys Podcast.

That you could have done like Brooklyn Boys at Gmail was really all right, So you guys could sponsor your own place and get a mentioned for a really like as a goof almost like a reasonable amount of money. We were like, oh, you know whatever, Nobody hit us up, so it's your loss. The sales going away soon. Speaking of sales, I wanted a special shout out to Vinnie. Vinny is a slice and Vinnie has been I've been

driving Vinny crazy, so Vinny, I apologize. Vinny took up the challenge that I mentioned here on the podcast, and he has been photo shopping the f out of our logo for the Brooklyn Boys podcast. We're getting a new logo or an alternate logo. Nope, we've changed. We've inverted the colors from blue and orange to orange and blue. We've done some re shading of the letters to make them more bold. We've changed the background color from orange

to blue um. And so we're preparing different versions of the logo thanks to Vinnie, because we're gonna put that logo on merchandise soon, probably as the summer is coming to an end. But I think the first thing we're gonna make available, and we've talked about it well scary and I have to pick it out, is probably gonna

be a mask with our go on it. Now. I had a question if you put the logo in the middle, like we're like the middle of the mask, right, because I have a Mets mask with the Met logo right right by the mouth, like right in the middle. It sort of looks like your bane from the Batman movies, right right, But it looks good when it's not on your face, but then when's on your face, it moves

when you talk. And would it be cooler because I also have a Mets mask with the with the logo on the side I think the side is the way to go. So it doesn't move centered right off centered, so if someone's on your right, they're not gonna see it, but if they're on your left they will, or vice

vice versa. So I think off centers the way to go. Right. Well, let listen, speaking of the logo, um and things like that, we wanted to we have an email for that, which will kick off an email segment here because we have a lot of funny and cool comments because we've been away for a while. You wind if we do a little mail time right here. I don't mind. I don't mind that at all. I just want to say, remind me about the fan on facebook page, the Brooklyn Boys

fan facebook page, not our facebook page, the fane. We have an update, okay, coming right up after this talk. He just made a sign with doing a commercial. It's mail time. Welcome. You've got mail, You could always email us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. And hopefully you're not so tired from typing the email

address that you thought. Okay, Brodio try and I'm gonna try, and uh it's too late now with zero This is true, Malia Ballas wrote to us regarding our logo color alteration request, says, Hey, Brooken boys, you may remember me as the person who created the float chart for your podcast back in episode sixty seven. Graphic designer from Harrisburg p A And uh, I know I'm replying more than two days after the

podcast has come out. It's actually about a month. But if you don't have already have it fixed, I'd be happy to take a look at your low. So she's got five years of experience and photo shopping all this stuff she's sending her resume and photo editing and images. Anyway, it's just the file. So if, by the way, if this this person falls through, Brodie, we can, we can. But I wanted to shout her out because it's very

very nice of her. Now. Also also the wonderful people who created a Monopoly game, we we have to reach back out to them. We may have to put out the the sort of looks like Monopoly but not exactly Monopoly game. But they're also designers. But if then he's got a COVID right now now, Fernando Almeida road to us and said that he loves our show started at zero. Good thing about the quarantine is allowed me to catch up to the last episode, all the way up to

number one thirty five. Oh is this number one thirty six? No, it's anyway. I was going the way I was going. I thought I would listen a year from now you guys talking about the virus. But it was episode one thirty three where Brodie didn't understand the shortage of up tops of electronics stores and it was due to the online learning home schooling element. I don't have Twitter, so I couldn't tweet you. I hope there are no grammar errors.

Don't want the police after me. Been also listening to Z one hundred A long time up spoke too soon. There's that grammar error. A long time as he wrote as one word since Elvis was on the four o'clock show and Danielle was an intern. Thank you, Fernando, Love you. That came in. By the way, to our official Brooklyn Boys Facebook fan page. That's where that email came from. Brodie's gonna tell you about the other one and just the second. Uh. Dion Luffman says, hey, guys, Slice for Life,

been listening since the beginning. Love you all and you love you both in your chemistry. Missed a couple of episodes and was catching up on what I missed and caught Mama Brody on episode grumbling about orange juice. Now I know from previous episodes that Brody is a costco aficionado, as am I, and I wanted to suggest that the next time you go on a costco run, try to Kirkland Organic o J for yourself and especially for Mama Brody. It's amazingly delicious. It will spoil you for all other

orange juice. I'll send you some free ship for us, but it has to stay refrigerated to stay good, so I'm not gonna send you any And it's not gonna solve the o J problem from people's from skipping on the size. But I think she's gonna love it. Thank you so much, And she sent a picture of the orange juice Kirkland's Organic, speaking of the o J problem, if you can, may I tangent here. No, they did

not well, they did convict him of something else. If you remember, if you're old enough to remember, when they the police wanted to arrest O. J. Simpson the first time he and his friend jumped in a white Ford Bronco and they chased him across Major Parkway in southern California, and so um Apparently O J was ducked down in the back and his friend Cowlings was driving the Broncos. So it became synonymous the Ford Bronco with O J and the car chase that went on for for seemingly

hours and interrupted a Knicks playoff game. Anyway, and this I believe, I said, I believe, but I know it was Anyway. A couple of years after that, the Ford stopped making the Ford Bronco, which was a big suv that looked like the Ford Explorer like Square. It was a big, big like Anyway, they announced this week the return of the Ford Bronco, which, by the way, Gandhi from our morning show, her boyfriend lives in Michigan and he works. He works on something to do with Ford. Uh,

either either with a company that markets the car. I don't know what he does. The pictures of this thing. It's it's not a it's not an suv anymore. Now it's a it's a not a sponsor. It's now a main competitor to the Jeep Wrangler, So it's a it's a boxing popless jeep. I can't I can't call it a jeep because that's trademarked. It's owned by the good folks at Chrysler, uh Christ or Fiat anyway, Chrystler rather the new Bronco, which is back now. It tops out

of no no, no, not like the old Bronco. It looks fantastic, and so I'm like, oh and and the reviews were like, and it's affordable. So I started looking it up. It doesn't come out until spring, and so it's it's like, oh, under starting it under thirty thousand, right, They're like, oh, like so you know twenty nine thou almost right? Like like when you sell stuff on on online, you always put the right, always right. So if you want it with four doors and wheels, it's close to forty,

which you can go up as high as sixty. But they get you starting starting. As soon as you see that word starting, you know that you, yeah, you're not getting the model that you're gonna end up walking out the door with. You're gonna getting the one that they sell to. The rental car agencies that have you know, crank you have to crank up the windows by hand. They have a m radio no FM that's what you get,

you get. You get manual rooms, yeah, manual transmission and uh manuals yeah, and and and no no power steering. They still make cars with no power steering right to actually turn the wheel. Roof is actually a hole in the roof. That's what you get under thirty. But anyway, the car looks hot. But reminded me because you said O J So I'm sorry, that's okay. Listen. Oh look, so Thomas Gavin wrote to us UH and said, hey, Skerri and Brody O b R O D I U second, dude.

And not only that, though, he goes on to say, just wanted to make Brody rant a bit ha ha. New listener to the podcast, But I've been listening to The Big Show over twenty years, originally from Staten Island and listen to you guys brings me back. Started listening in episode one twenty and have recently started over. I'm currently in episode fifteen and very happy I started from the start. I have noticed a notice that the pizza

on the logo never got changed. It still is currently Pepperoni. Yeah, I know, I know what I should have asked Vinnie to change it. The sausage with all the work he's doing, but he's doing me so much he's doing anyway. I'm currently looking for a pool and now something I have never done before has showed grammar police. But he spells at g R A M E R. I think he's doing that to piss us off um all because of you guys. Check it out the way they spelled in ground.

I also want to point out that an episode twelve, the topic of sucking your own dick comes up an episode twelve and Scary admits a long time ago that if he could, if he could, he would never leave the house. See that's transparency and that's honesty right there. I'm consistent. In episode twelve, I said that, and I said hold on, wait, hold on, let me finish the email. It is only now that we found out he did try it. You guys are great. I enjoy listening while

I'm driving around throughout my work day. Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. And then he shows dispelling error of semi in ground pool, which is just semi and gruned that his atrocious type. Yeah, oh he wh By the way, he wrote back afterwards, Brody, sorry about the eye in your name. I didn't realize it was until after I send it as though it was. I thought, and I thought your name was Dave, Dave Brod I, but it's David. Are not ease in my name? He

corrected it. Okay, God, you're back. Kevin at filter Kevin underscore, which means there's another filter, Kevin, I don't know. Why would you add an underscore when you could have added a one or a number. Underscores are terrible. I know I used to beat David underscore Brody, but that's in the middle. That's in the middle. You add an underscore to the end. Anyway, Kevin wrote to uh the Brooklyn

Boys and at David Brody and at Scary Jones. I've been listening to older episodes and at the end of episode ten, Scary no capital s Scary talks about how he knew a friend that can s his own d Really interesting. So in episode ten you talked about a friend you knew, and then at twelve you talked about how you always wondered if you could, and now lately you've been talking about it again. Dude, I'm lonely. Yeah, you've got some issues. So by the way, people referencing

episode ten. I have no clue what happened last episode, let alone ten. We listen to this from Rachel. Another note to our Facebook fan page. Uh hey, I don't know if this is gonna somehow make it on the the the podcast, but do not say my full name. Okay, we just said Rachel Um. I'm from Texas. Been a longtime fan of The Big Show. Started listening to The Brooklyn Boys about a year and a half ago. Started

from zero. I'm currently an episode one eighteen. I know that's pretty slow compared to the other slices, but I had mostly been listening in the car to and from work before COVID. Now that I'm working from home, I've been binging like crazy. That's what I like to hear, and I'm excited to almost be caught up. Anyway, back at school working on my Masters and I ran across a spelling error on a discussion board assignment that made me face palm and immediately think of y'all. And they, oh,

they built a report with their customers. How do you think she how do you think they spelled report? Brodie r A p R E even r E p O. You are like repoor. Wow, that is piss poor. Thank you Rachel and um Michael Servino wrote to us, and then they'll be offered today. I love you guys. Catching back up now. Listened to the one about BP gas app. Thought it was a great idea. Took forever to activate the pump. And even though my debit card is CAR is the card on the account, it charged my credit card.

Credit card pricing took off five cents but still paid more than debit. Womp wamp, keep it real, Mike out, So that that was in reference to the explain to them what you're talking about with the kay So I don't know what state this person lives in, because in New Jersey, BP is same price, cash and credit same price. I don't know if that's different in all the states. But there are apps you can get now where you

when you pull into the gas station. I like to pull over to the side and open the app and get it ready so you're not fumbling around for the app trying to get it to open and ready to go. Once with the pump and so you let's see you open up the gas app. Yeah, make sure you have your location on and this way knows which gas station you're at and then it says, tell the app what pump you're at, So I always go to pump seven,

that's my pump. I scroll to pump seven on the little little wheel on the app, and then it says, uh, pay with this credit card, yes, ready to fuel, Yes, And it opens the pump for you, and you just tell the guy through the VAALU usually rolled down the real window and I gave the old Philip regular and then he the pump turns on, and the app pays for it turns on the pump for you and then pays. It charges your credit card, so you don't have to hand over your phone. You don't have to hand over

your credit card, totally COVID Ready to Go. It's fantastic And a lot of the apps like BP will give you five cents off for using the app, which is tremendous. Now, if you live in a state we have to pump your own gas, yeah you can still. You can still use the app because you're rather than going inside and saying turn on pump five, you can have the app do it for you and you don't have to put your credit card in the machine. You just go out pump your gas. So it's very helpful, but I wouldn't.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't go to a station if I had to be paid charge more for credit after that? Do you want a little ego boost? Brody? Always well, Arnie Lalo Today, Today's July started from zero. Now I'm here all right. That means he finished. Started listening to the podcast after the new year, and my goal was to get caught up for my birthday on the fourth of July. Feels good to be caught up here on the eighth. Hey, Brody, I met you at City Field

for David Wright's final game. I was with my girlfriend and did the Holy sh it. I think that's Dave Brody from The Big Show. Also, it will always be Brody and scary and never scary and Brody because Scary was supposed to go to City Field with you that night and never showed up because he chose his girlfriend over David Wright's last game. You, Brody, you were super friendly and approachable. I love hearing on the Big Show to not be intimidated and come say hello if I

spotted you in public. So we took a picture posted it on the Grand at hashtag abuser. Uh wow, that's a hell of a handle, and we talked about how emotional the evening was after Rights stand up. He's not a hashtag abuser as if he's an abuser. He's a hashtag abuser at hashtag abuser. He abuses hashtags like you do. Oh okay, Oh my god, I thought that was his handle, Mike. He needs hey, you know me, hashtag abuser? Why it's broady and scary because I'm nice to the guy he

just called abuse. He said, you guys shared an emotional moment that moment at that night. Right standing ovation also that first baseman should have dropped the foul hashtag fuck Peter O'Brien. What happened there was that well, because it would have been a nod to to know David Wright getting a hit. Is that I'll let me just set the pen, he continued. David Right, David real quick, David Wright because it was his last game, because he had

missed two seasons, two and a half seasons. He had a terribly is a terribly injured back uh spine problem and he trained for months and months to get back on the field. They let him play a pin ship the night before, I believe, and so this was gonna be his last game, the one you know you didn't go to, and they predetermined he would get two at bats, and they we're gonna pull him out of the game, so we could walk off the field to get cheered and then go into the into the broadcast booth and

be interviewed the rest of the game. This way he could be celebrated. So in his first at bat, I think he he gotta walk. He didn't get a hit, and he grounded out the third I think, and then his second at bat, um everyone was like, this is going to be his last at bat. Ever, he's one of the greatest people ever to play for the Mets, one of the greatest athletes you'd ever want to meet. The places going crazy. Just let him get a hit,

let him walk off. He's only his early thirties. He's just it's just a terrible story that he has to retire. He hits a fly ball, a little pop up, a little pop up down the first baseline, almost near the dugout, but not like it's a terribly hard catch and the first basement for the Marlins. Keep in mind, this is I think the next of the last game of the season. It's meaningless. Everybody's hoping this guy drops the ball territory. Yeah, no harm. I would say, no harm, no foul, but

we've been no foul. And he catches the ball in a in a little bit more than easy, catches a little bit of difficulty, not a lot. But he easily could have liked tripped or like had it hit off his glove and done the right thing. But it was going up like oh, please drop the ball, please drop And he caught it, and everyone woul looked at him like you're you're an asshole, right, like that woman who slammed the elevator door in my face, right Like look, I get it. You want the guy that he's got

to do his job. He's got to catch the ball. But there's a time and place when the season is over. Let the guy get another swing, another chance to get a hit. Whatever. That's what. And his other request was, can you guys, for the love of God, get on the same page at the very end when you sync up where the Brooklyn part, when you sing at the end the boys from Brooklyn. When we do that, he said, we're not. It feels like you guys are getting closer.

Here's the thing, there's a there's a millisecond delay from my audio to Skier. He's now on the end of my Walkers and Talkers podcast, which I do with the lovely Jamie. At the end we quote Nigan from The Walking Dead and we say, well, I go, what time is it, Jamie? And and I goes your time it is? Here's what time is it? And we both say at the same time, it's time shut this ship down. That's how we end the podcast, right. Because we're broadcasting from

our homes, they're way off. So she's on one track, I'm on the other, and lined them up before we posted. Yeah, it's just not gonna happen. You're just lazy. I'm not. Hey listen, so wait, hold on. This guy is great. He then does a pro and con list of of of things that he wants to hear about about a potential pool Side podcast. He writes, pro scary, I love the idea of a podcast episode by the pool. What if Brody did host you at his house and you

guys did a Brooklyn Boys episode pool Side. That's a pro. Con Scary walks around and flip flops. Pro pro we don't hear Brodie's mic issues con scary is two dollar microphone might pick up outside noises. Pro scary can finally take a dip in Brodie's heated pool. I would love to hear a pro con debate about a pool side podcast. I hope you guys had a relaxing vacation and Brodie and and Brodie in the hot top question mark in time of COVID. Anyway, well that you have a Brodie,

are we gonna pro and we're gonna connor? No, No, we're not. No, We're still not gonna do this, Brodie, we have all something, Brodie, I'm telling you, don't let this summer get away without it. Well, you made me. You made me turn off my air conditioning so there wouldn't be any background noise. Now you want to go out to buy my pool where there's neighborhood noise. And but add to the fun, Brooklyn Boys by Brooklyn Boys at Brodie's house by the pool is what does Jimmy

Fallon call it Jimmy Fallon at home? Yeah he's back in the studio now. But anyway, Brooklyn Boys by the Pool, it would be the Brooken Boys pool side podcast. I bet you that would have the most listens. Ever, why it doesn't mean anything to the listener. Put in fake background noise and make it sound like we're by the pool. Besides, I have to get an extension cord and a surge protector. And because I have one outlet outside, so I'd have to split it so we can plug it in. It's

a lot of work. Jeff the engineer would have to come over, wire up everything. Come on, this isn't This isn't one of your Jersey Shore hotels where it's ready to go. Let me read a couple of tweets. I got Jamie Fezzina at Jamie Fezzina no underscore, She's the only Jamie Fezzina or the first. Hi. I'm a new listening to the Brooken Boys podcast and just wanted to say how much I love you both. I've listened to the Big Show for forever, but just now became a

listener of your podcast. I can relate to just about everything you say from Brooklyn too well. Jamie. First of all, welcome aboard, But this begs the question. You're from Brooklyn, you listen to the elvistre In Morning Show forever. Why weren't you listening to our podcast? Before it's the Brooklyn Boys. You're from Brooklyn. I'm telling welcome aboard. People are they They're afraid or they don't know how to connect to us. Some people are just listen on radio and that's it,

all right, all right. Brandon Risotto on Twitter, He's omada d A S O R. I just wanted to say I love you guys so much. I look forward to hearing from you guys every Thursday, which when we get back in the studio, that will be the truth. Right now, I'm going through a tough time, but listening Sorry, Brandon, we hope things are better. I'm going through a tough time, but listening to the podcast makes me forget about every worry in the world. Hashtag Slice for Life. Joey Bacala. Okay,

so Bacala is a Brooklyn thing. His name is Baccala or it's Baccala, right, And but I'm not gonna say but people used to people used to say, I can't but bacala was like a euphemism for something for vagina. Oh, I didn't want to say that. But then why did you even start your sentence because people are gonna be like, well, you said it's a fish, so I think that people will figure it out. But his his Twitter name is Joey boom bats one, so he couldn't be any more

Italian or Brooklyn anyway. He tweets us he's okay. He tweeted out Walkers and Talkers and Us Brodie. You'd think as a Walkers and Talkers fan, I'd be open to the Brooklyn Boys, but I wouldn't give it a chance. Well, was I wrong? Hit the jingle Joey, You're wrong, joe You're wrong. Best podcast I listened to now, So, Joey, I would love to know why you resisted the Brooklyn Boys when your name is Bacala and your Twitter is Joey boom botts. If ever there was a home for you, sir,

it's here. Second of all, I'm complimented, but now I feel like you think this podcast is better than Walkers and Talkers. I you know what, I don't have favorite children, so I'm gonna just make it a tie. Uh what else? Oh? Oh question? Um, let's so, this is Michelle bev Bellevue, Bellevue. Sorry it's Michael. Sorry Michael, Sorry I was so confused

by your last name. Uh, let's say Scary Jones finally agrees to buy you a stay dinner, but while eating, you have to send something back because something is wrong. Will that count as the steak dinner at the end of the night if you don't pay for it? Wow, that's a that's a good one. That's big. It'll count. I'm gonna say it's not gonna count. No, because it's on you, because you you could have made up an excuse to send it back and then fun things up. Now.

Doesn't that counts all right? Well? Joey Bucala also tweeted Scary spent three on his home set up just to get his volume slightly higher than Brody Slice for live hashtag Brody and scare. You guys are good sports. Just one of the things I love about you guys and being a slice. You know. So this guy's hardcore now, even though he was afraid to listen, Um, listen. I I hate to do this, but we we we have to take a break. But it's still five or six

more emails you're gonna want to comment on. But you have a story that you want to get to too. So didn't we We didn't take a second break? No, here comes being scary because I'm not gonna do I use jokes, will do those next week. Um, I wanted to just acknowledge Romo s s J five. Romo tweeted me today and said, you're leaving something. I've seen some random tweets here and there, but nothing on anyone's official Twitter. So I said, I don't know. I don't know what

you're talking about. So they wrote back, I saw this tweet and then start another thanking you for all the good phone taps and jokes. I put two and two together. I guess I got five. So they they sent me the link of the tweet. It was a long Twitter conversation. Were at the beginning of the conversation. By the way,

the entire conversation is from October, all of it. We started off talking about Greg t the Jersey Kid, and then somewhere in that chain we mentioned he was leaving the show, and at the end Janovic our pizza delivery. Jane Vic said, yeah, well he owed Brodia steak dinner. But now that he's leaving, I guess that's off the table. Oh ship, I said, Gregg still he was part of the steak dinner promise, right, and so They said, well, since he's leaving, does he still does he still Brodia

steak dinner? They took it as since I'm leaving, so more importantly, I said this tweets from October. If I said I was leaving in October and I'm still here, I'm not very good at leaving, so I'm not leaving, um okay, and that I'm not going to read anymore. I did want to talk about what happened to me at the doctor's office. Did you want me to end on that? Yeah, let's end on that. Let's sit look at a few more of these in and then we'll

end on that. So, uh, Sarah H. Because I really because people got pissed at me for not reading their emails. If you listen to the last episode or so, someone like someone ripped into me, be like, oh, I said your email, You're not so I'm gonna try, okay, but but really quickly, Sarah H wrote to us and said that she was listening to episode one thirty four about Subway and she's cracking up. I immediately thought of you guys this weekend when I saw an old Navy ad.

I attached the screenshot. It says, off online purchases and there's a picture of face masks there, but it says exclusions apply. Well, lo and behold one of the exclusions is the fucking face masks. So there's a scambone or something. Face masks excluded. Frustrating had to share and that was part of the five dollar foot long conversation that we had. Um also, uh oh, we have an Agnes that says

Agnes says, why are you so judgmental? Brodie? Sometimes my husband and I will listen to the podcast together while working on projects around the house. I was, I was glad I listened to episode one thirty three alone. As Brodie began listening of qualities of men that he judged as being unworthy of friendship. He began describing my husband wearing flip flops to target. Check long hair, check death metal, death metal T shirts, check mustard on hot dog check.

If Brodie saw my husband walking along and around a target wearing flip flops in a death metal T shirt, eating a mustard slathered hot dog with his air down, he would likely write him off as a weirdo or a loser. My husband hold on my husband, as you is used to being judged by his appearance. However, he is kind, polite, and courteous to everyone he meets. He's loyal, considerate, and clever, qualities, qualities with his friends and and values

his friends and family. His family admire him. He earned a master's degree and is well read. If Brodie got to know him, he discovered how much in common he has. Loves baseball, been watching the Korean League in baseball. He religiously watches The Walking Dead listens We Love Walking Walkers and Talkers podcast. He loves the same music as Brodie, deaf Leppard, Guns and Roses and Steel Panther. All of this to say, please don't be so quick to judge a book by its cover or a person by their

preferences or condiments. Attacks a photo from our wedding, he cleans up, pretty nice, Love you guys, Agnes hashtag fuck you Agnes. Okay, let me respond, what this woman's name? Agnes? Okay? Really okay? Well, okay, so Agnes again. We talked about how we don't remember what we said five minutes ago. I remember the flip flop conversation, but I don't remember saying I wouldn't be friends with a guy with long hair. And a death metal shirt. Since that was most of

my teens and twenties. She seems to remember this. I know I may have said. I think what I said, Agnes, if I remember correctly, was he had a med hat on, right, and he may have had a rock shirt on and had long hair. That's why I liked him, right, That's why I thought I could be friends with him. Then I saw the flip flops. That's what I said, if I remember correctly, because I like rock shirts and I like long hair, so that wouldn't have been the negative.

The negative was wearing flip flops to Target. I'm not going to forgive your husband for that, even though he sounds fantastic and I probably wouldn't want to be friends with him. I just wouldn't go to Target with him. That being said, those bands you mentioned are not death metal bands. Their hair metal band hair metal I prefer over death metal. Although I listen to all all forms of rock music and hard rock and heavy metal, death metal not one of my favorites. But I would be

friends with you if you liked it. But the mustard on the hot dog thing, ah, that's tough. That's tough. I just I wouldn't. I wouldn't go to a barbecue with you. But no, I have friends who unfortunately put mustard on a hot dog. I just don't like it. I don't like it at all. I don't like the thought of it. I'm like the kind of person you are. But your husband sounds fantastic. I think we have a misunderstanding.

So we're good. That's okay. Now. Now, now, as you were saying, okay, so I tease two things earlier in the episode, One about the Facebook fan page. Now, I've been hearing that there's a lot of critique of our podcast in the Facebook fan page group. Isn't that what fans do though, right? But if we don't know their critiques, we can't improve or fix things you might not like.

So I mentioned to a couple of people, Hey, a, if you are a slice, you're in that group obviously, but if you hear anything that would be constructive and helpful other than you know, Brodie's rude to scary. Uh, you know, let let us know on the down low, right, like you know, slip me a little information now and so I'm not going to mention any names, but do

you have in that room now? Well, somebody was kind enough to tell me that the only criticism of me they've seen recently, and I'm I'm sure there's others, was that sometimes I tease a rant and then I don't get to it, and that frustrates people. So I apologize. I blame Scary for that. He rushes me, Oh, come on now, so that I'm going to do a better job. Sometimes we run out of time and I try to do it the next week. We do run out of

time a lot. So let me tell you about the second worst doctor disappointment I ever had, which was last week. Now I have over the course of my life, I have injured my shoulder. I had a rotator cuff injury. I injured my elbow um and I and my wrist was worn out and had to have my wrist fused. So my right arm is a mess, not from anything sexual, it's just from playing sports. So I was doing some things around the house and um, the floor was mopped.

I have a tile floor at the base of seven steps staircase, and the floor got mopped and I didn't know it. So I was coming down the stairs with my uh my cell phone in my left hand, and when I hit the tile floor. I slipped and I fell backwards, and I reached back with my right arm, and I I must have damaged it in some way, because a couple of days later, my arm was in a lot of pain. I couldn't lift it up, I couldn't reach back. I was having a lot of pain.

So I gave it a week, figuring eventually it'll feel better. It did not. The only time it felt better was when I'm in my pool. It doesn't hurt. It's amazing, by the way, the the power of water. If I if I just put my arm underwater, I can move it without pain all over the place. I don't know how the inside of my arm knows not to hurt when it's underwater. I'm sure doctors can explain that. But it doesn't hurt at all. Okay, and I'll google it, you know, have to team. I got it. You know.

The point was in the pool didn't hurt. So my friend says to me, because I didn't like the orthopedis that worked on my elbow, he says, I got a guy. You're gonna love him. Good guy, funny, snarky, you'll like him. Got a guy. Got a guy because I got an orthopedis.

So I call up and make an appointment and they're out of network, but I've hit my out of network deductible, so it's They tell me, normally you would pay and then the met the insurance company pays sixty, but we're really slow on customers right now because of the pandemic. If you let us charge the insurance company, we won't

charge you the forty, so that it's free. I'm like, I'm in So I look up the I look up the place to get the address, and the guy's picture is on the front of the website and he is, uh, good looking guy with long, flowy hair down past his shoulders, the kind of guy you look at you go. This guy looks in the bar a lot, takes care of his long hair. Okay, a pretty looking guy. Successful, no problem. I call up, I make the appointment, and I get Lisa.

Lisa's the receptionist. Couldn't have been nicer, couldn't have been more accommodating. Uh, we'll make everything work for you. It's free. Couldn't have been nicer, So I said to Lisa Nellison, I want to preface my story. I obviously in this story feel very, very strongly about what I'm going to talk about. I'm not telling you to feel strongly about it.

Just know, like, if you go to a restaurant and you like broccoli, I don't like broccoli, But if you like broccoli and they mess up your broccoli, I will relate to you because you had a bad experience. Okay, you expected good broccoli. So I'm gonna tell the story. You may disagree with me on this issue, but that's okay. Understand that it's important to me for whatever reason. And I was disappointed. Okay. So I say to Lisa, what's

your policy on PPE on personal protective equipment. She's, Oh, you can wear a mask, but you don't have to wear gloves. I said, okay, I always wear a mask. Not a problem. What about the staff in your office, because I've been to two other I went to an eye doctor and I went to an ear nose and throat guy, and they had face shields and gloves and masks. They were all like buttoned up. She said, no, everybody here wears gloves and masks. You're all good. Oh great,

I feel comfortable. Now. I get to the office and it's mostly elderly people in the waiting room orthopedies. Old people breakdown, a lot of old people. They're all wearing masks in the in the waiting room. And the woman behind the counter who's not Lisa is wearing scrubs like she's a physician's assistant. I would say she's in her mid twenties. And I say, Hi, is Lisa here, because I wanted to thank her for being so nice. She's not Lisa. She's no Lisa's on on break. She's not

wearing a mask. Oh, so I go, all right, Well, I'm gonna not get near her. I'll fill out my I filled out my paperwork already, which, by the way, I printed my seven pages of documents to get ready. Now, on the document page, it says, have you had any surgeries? Are you allergic to any medication? Now, there's a type of medication I can't take, okay, And I put it on the sheet so that the doctor will have all the information, and I give it to the woman without

the mask. I leave it on the counter. She takes it, and I'm sitting there going, yeah, that woman should really wear a mask. But I don't know. Maybe she was on the phone. I don't know. Whatever, I'll just keep my distance. I got my mask on, no problem. So she says, okay, I'm gonna take you into the exam room, you know, because they say they put you in the room so you can sit there for twenty minutes instead

of the waiting room. So I'm walking down the hall with her, and I noticed that in one room is a doctor that isn't the guy I'm seeing, and his mask is around his neck and he's taking care of patients, talking to them. They're wearing masks. He is not. Then I passed the second room. The guy I'm seeing is in there. He's not wearing a mask, and one of his patients isn't wearing a mask, and he's talking to them, right, And I go, well, this isn't right. That's three out

of three not wearing masks. I asked about this. Okay, these are medical professionals. Okay. So as she puts me in the room, and she says to me, okay, have a seat, Sho'll be in a minute and we'll starts walking out. So I said, well, I'm meeting with Dr So and so, who I know as a man. By the way, no women can be doctors, don't so shouldn't she have said who is? And she keeps walking she doesn't hear me. So I'm like, who is coming to get me? Who is she? Shouldn't she have said so?

And so is called like what? So a woman walks in. She is an X ray technician. She is wearing a mask, and she's, oh, let's go get X rays. Oh look, okay, no problem. Why the woman didn't say the X ray technician will be in momentarily to get you. She said she'll be in a minute. First I was put off by that. All right, So I go and do my X rays. The woman goes behind the screen, you know, to take your X rays. She takes her mask off. Afterwards, she goes, you can have a seat. I sit down.

She comes out from mind the plexiglass, not wearing the mask, and then as she walks by me to go out of the room, she puts the mask on as she's passing me again. I feel like I'm in home depot at this point. These are medical professionals. They're not being very you know, masky when I asked specifically if they were masking. So she gets the X rays and she puts me back in the room. I'm sitting there for a little while, and I hear the doctor that I'm

gonna see joking about not wearing a mask. He's joking saying, you know, sign me up, baby, if I don't have to wear a mask. I don't care if this COVID everywhere I'm not where I'm at, I'll take a job if I'm off to wear a mask. I'm like, okay, um, all right again. You may disagree with that philosophy, but bothering me, it's bothering me. So that he comes into the room and he says, hey, how's it going whatever? And I said good, good good. He says, what's bothering you?

So I tell him what He goes. I said, well, it hurts when I do. He goes, well, don't do it. Don't do what hurts? You know the classical. Yeah, It's like okay, yeah. So he says, stand up. I want to check your range of motion. I said, dr before we get started, if I could just ask you a question, I'm just curious. I called and I spoke to Lisa, and I asked if everybody here would be wearing masks

and uh, she said yes, but nobody's wearing masks. I'm just curious what the thought process is there, and he says, oh, he says, I've got antibodies, so I already had it. So I'm like Superman. I'm good. He goes, you're in good hands. I'm superman. So I said, um, well, first of all, I understand why you have antibodies. Because you don't wear a mask, you probably aren't protecting yourself, so

you already worth sick. I said, But you know, I said, just again, just if I could be curious here, there's no evidence that says you can't get it. Again. There's also no evidence that you having antibodies protects you from from giving it to me. I said, And you're not wearing a mask because you have antibodies, but the mask is to protect me. I don't have antibodies. He says, oh, he's uh, he's just listen. He looks around. He goes, you know what, You're fine? I said what He says, No,

he is where it gets weird. He says to me, the media is blown it out of proportion. Oh my god. So I said, um, doctor, forgive me, but I don't come to a doctor to be told that the media is blowing a pandemic out of proportion, even if he believes that. And I know there are people that believe that. I said, there's still a hundred thirty five thousand dead Americans, right, So he says to me, most of them were sick already. I said, I know people who were in their fifties

and healthy who died. They weren't sick. Why would you say that, Like, why are you minimizing a pandemic? You're a doctor. And he says, do you want to get a mask? I'll get a mask. Now. He's not upset with me. He's just like kind of laughing, like he's amused by me. So he says, you want me to put a mask on. I go, well, we've been in the same room already now for like you know, six seven minutes. I guess we're fine. So he does the exercise. He makes me push in, push out against his arms.

He's testing my range emotion, and he says, uh, you know what you need anti inflammatories. He's still less scary. Yeah, I'm here all right. He says, you need anti inflammatories that will make the swelling in your arm go down. Whatever the pain is, he said, But it doesn't look like you damage anything. The x rays look good, and um, you don't have any like uh any And he swelled, ing, if you would have torn something, you wouldn't have been able to move in the positions that you currently can

move even though you have pain. And I tell him that it doesn't hurt when I'm in the pool. So he says, you'll take some anti inflammatories and you'll be good. I said, doctor, it says right on my sheet, I can't take anti inflammatories. He says, oh, why not? And I tell him why. He goes, you can take a copy, You'll be fine. Scary, scary. I have a primary care physician and a specialist who specializes in me and the thing I have wrong that I can't take anti inflammatories.

And he's like, yeah, you can take a copy, You'll be fine. Why can't you take doctor? Dr sho like doctor? So I said to him, I said, doctor, feel good or feel good? Because this guy is breaking a right. So I said, doctor, the reason I can't take it is on the sheet, right. You didn't let me fill out. He goes, oh, I don't read that. Sound I didn't read it. I go, I filled out seven pages. It tells you my medical history, because I just I'd rather just ask why did you not a bad face? And

just leave? So hold on. So he wanted to prescribe me something that could kill me, and he didn't look at the sheet, right, Okay, So he says, I'm gonna practice. Then that would be yeah, I'm dead. Yeah. Oh so so I forgot one line, one line I thought was classic. I said, none of your staff. I understand you have antibodies, doctor, but none of you. The other doctor doesn't have antibodies. He's not wearing a mask. The woman of front start wearing a mask. The X ray technician was half wearing

a mask. He goes, Oh, everybody here has a mask, they're just not wearing them. Everybody could. That's helpful. Oh so you give me medicine that's gonna kill me. I just didn't take it. People over, everybody has a mask. He goes to make me feel better, but they're just not wearing them. Oh as long as they have them, I feel much better. So you want to say something that I just it gets worse, scary. How does it get worse than this? Okay? So, so he says, I'm

gonna give you a prescription for physical therapy. I said, all right, well, let me ask you a question before I go to physical therapy. He I said, should I not move my arm the way you said? If it hurts? Should I? Should I be moving it more to exercise it? Or should I not move it so it heals? And he says, well, don't do anything that causes pain. So I said, well, when I go in the pool, it doesn't cause me pain. So in the pool, am I masking the pain and it's okay to swim and move

my arm in a painful way? Or should I not move my arm because I'm damaging it? He says, well, when you go to physical therapy, asked that question. I said, but you're the doctor. He said, but they'll give you exercises. I go. I know, but in the meantime, yes or no? Should I not be moving my arm? Be sure he was a doctor or he just played yes, no, I maybe stayed at holiday in. I don't get it. It's I would don't want to I don't want to say. But I know where he went to college. It's a

state university, which is fine. I love I went to a city university. I'm just saying I know where it is. It's a good college. Okay, he's not an old guy. He's in his symphorties maybe, which is old. It gets worse, how Okay, So he says to me, listen, I want to see you back here in six weeks after your physical therapy. He said, but I get the impression you're not gonna come back. Are you upset about the mask thing? I said, no, yeah, I said I was. I said, I'm not upset. Wh I was upset? I said, but

I was just curious. I'm very analytical. I was wondering why what I asked, specifically, if everyone wore a mask. Your receptionist told me everyone wears a mask, when the reality nobody wears a mask. He says, oh, well, yeah, he's I. I mean, I want you to be comfortable. Okay, all right, So we're walking out to the front desk. He's walking me to the front desk, and he the receptionist, the assistant in the scrubs who wasn't wearing a mask, walks with him to get my prescription, and he says,

I'm gonna make up a name. He says, hey, Stacy, you really should put your mask on now. For a split second, scary I thought, have the music ready. I thought that he was doing the right thing and saying, you know what, I'm wrong. You're the reception woman working up front. You should have a mask on. But what he did was he said, hey, um, you should put a mask on, and she says she looks at him.

He goes, because you're freaking this guy out, So you could just put a mask on because you're freaking him out. Don't put a mask on because it's it'll keep people healthier and alive, and your spit will fly on people. Oh no, don't wear a mask to protect yourself from droplets. Oh no, put a mask on because you're freaking out this guy who's standing here, who I am now pointing at, singling him out and putting on the spot. So I said, a woman who wa wa wa woa. I didn't. I didn't.

I'm not freaked oubt. So he goes, yeah, you teld me in the in the AMRA when you freaked out she wasn't wearing a mask. I said, no, I wanted to know why no one was wearing a mask. And you told me you had antibodies. Well, nobody else here has antibodies, so I said, But I'm not freaked out. I was freaked out, but I didn't. I didn't give that impression. But do you imagine that after the exam I had of this buffoon, he then tells her put on a mask, not for medical reasons, because she's faking

lay out. So then I walk, I walk outside to the desk. She let's make an appointment for you. I made an appointment, homeboy, I am not going back to that to covid manner, I'm sorry. And again, if you're listening to this podcast and you have a different opinion on masks, that's not what this is about. I'm not trying to give you. Well. You know, even if you do. At the end of the day, you're in a medical you're you're you're in you're in a hot you're sorry,

you're in a medical facility. You're in a doctor's office of all places. And then and then and then the media is blown out of proportion, and all those people already sick. That's not true. And listen to what I listen. I have my opinions too. I don't listen. And by the way, I don't I don't want agree with you, Brody, I really don't. And I'm not gonna get into it on this podcast, but I want this is no where

I'm coming from from. Listen they listen there there may be some truth that that, other things not that, other things that are play here. No, no, listen to me. You have to be open to criticism. Brody. I'm sorry, okay, and I'm not hold on, Brody, We're not going here, okay, And you know, you know like I am on your side, I really am. I but I honestly before you, I'm not going there. I'm this this conversation has to do with about about anyone else wearing a mask. I'm sticking

to the front. I'm just saying, Yea. All I'm gonna say is that I am dumbfounded that facility and medical facility going to the doctors and they're not more careful, and they're not flipping, and they're they're almost making fun of it. It's almost like an alternate universe, and and and and so yes, I I sympathize. I empathize all those thighs with you, Okay, I do. I do, and

and they're completely in the wrong. That's all I want. Now, You're right, okay, but just but just don't talk in absolutes, and that that that your knowledge because some things that you said there are gonna piss some of our slices off. Was a mask keeps from flying? That is factual, that's truth. Yes, yes, right,

I'm not. I'm not arguing with you on that. I did not in the opinion of the opinion of other things being at play here, and that perhaps there are certain things that are at play, that people may be blowing things out of proportion or making people see statistics the way they want to see them. That there's not a hundred percent not a in on that. Yes, I'm I'm mostly in, but I'm not listen and I have

a right to my opinion too. But for the speck of the store, keep in mind, but keep in mind you're gonna get some But keep in mind because you went there, that you're gonna get some hate on this because there are people that are gonna there are gonna be people maybe that are going to be in that in that in that boys fan page, be like, here goes Brody again on his held on I did not tell anyone. I made it very clear. If I said some were a couple of seven, I said, you guys

know I don't like vegetables, right, I hate vegetables. I hate dil right. I don't ever tell you people not the vegetables or eat vegetables. I don't tell you to live in my life. I have someone in my life that has a compromised immune. By the by, I know you, I know you, I know your situation too. I'm also taking that considering and I have I live with three kids,

right and a wife. I have a responsibility to keep the people in my life, even if wearing masks in my mind keeps me less of a chance, right, then I'm gonna do that for me, and just people need to know telling anyone, I'm just telling you. I you know, like if you call a Chinese restaurant you say, can

you make my food without vegetables? And then you go there and there's a sign that says we will not substitute, we will not make food without vegetables, you feel like you you would kind of like, and then then they come out and like you come they come out and I'm just saying, and they're like dancing around like vegetables, going eat vegetables. I get it, and I get it, and I think it's hilarious, and I think that I think it's uncalled for. And I'm not a public service announcement.

I don't do what you want unstood. And by the way, I wear a mask, I'm gonna make it very clear. I go, I wear my mask everywhere, I wear it indoors. I'm completely respectful. Tweeting me with a dissenting opinion. It was just it was until you've spoken absolutes for a couple of seconds, I'm like, someone's gonna get take accepts they're my absolutes. Okay, you do this absolute right. Fine, But I'm just telling you there were some things that I list absolutely believe you should have catch up on

a hot dog. That's where we have to have catch up on. But that's all what I don't. Also, don't impart that on other people, because there's partners and I there was a couple of moments that made me, that made me shut No. I want a second, as somebody who's on top of the fence listening to everything, there are a couple of things you might have said maybe that could tick some people off, but that's okay, it's your opinion and it's our podcast, and we get to

say what we want to have the list work. Well, if you were ticked off by me talking about I feel I'm not no, not me. I'm saying if a person was ticked off about something I said that I feel a certain way, that's silly because I'm not telling you to feel that way. If I had said, if you don't do this my way, you suck, I didn't say that. I said for me, I made it very clear. I laid the groundwork. I said, please, are you in office that is precautionary. At the end of the day, Yes,

everyone in that office needed to wear masks. That's the end of That's the end of it. Or or tell me we are not a mask wearing office. And now you know what, go and enjoy your life in your business. So why don't you just out them right here on the boy. No, I'm not, come on, do people a service. Nope, I'm not gonna No, it's not That's not the point was. I wanted to say. How the doctor didn't know I was allergic to a medicine. He wanted me to take

anything got my charts. There was just a whole lot of things like, oh I can hear it, I can hear I was like, oh, he barely. He didn't. He almost he almost killed you. But something that he never even The good news is I didn't pay for I got what I paid for. I didn't pay for the appointment. But I asked him should I move my arm? And he's like, they'll tell you in physical therapy. You're the doctor, right, the doctor? All right, Brodie, alright, jump in your pool,

cool off a little bit. Okay, Well, I don't know if I should move my arm in the pool. I'm gonna I'm gonna go open a fire hydrant. Okay, you know it's the only thing I know. We need to time this perfectly because you're from Brooklyn. Yeah, well you'll adjust it. Aw
