#142: Jiggle It... Just A Little Bit

right now. Out of here. I'm like, what the hell is that. I'm about to hit the record, but we just spent fifteen minutes trying to get the perfect audio. Yeah, and all of a sudden and he goes, oh, that somebody flushing the toilet. I'm like, we won't set the stage. We'll just talk about what is going on in your house. Already talked about it. You mean, somebody takes it dump and then they hit the flush button and the dump along with all the dirty water, goes through a pipe

that's probably six inches from your head. I didn't say it was six inches from my head. Listen, when you live in a house, where do you think the pipes are You think it goes out out like it just disappears. Dude, I don't go somewhere. I don't have these problems because I live in an apartment. I don't know. You have a one one bedroom apartment where you have you live, people are above you and below you, so the pipes

are in your wall. You're right, okay, But when you live in a house, right, there's toilets and bathrooms and rooms, oh my, on different levels. Yeah. So I'm in the basement, so the piping has to go underneath the house. So in order to get there, it has to go through the walls. I just find it fascinating that someone somewhere in your house is is excreting bodily fluids. Joe, my family, what they're doing. I know they could have thrown tissues

in the toilet. It was and they touched and they and they hit the flusher and then it literally flies across your head. And get the audio. The sound goes on to anything. It didn't say anything about flying across my head. Hearing a pipe about ten feet away in the corner behind the finished wall, right, God forbat that pipe burst. It would fly out all everywhere. Okay, but that's the same for any pipe anywhere in the world. Would I just find it fascinating. I just find it amazing.

We're recording up. I never lived that. You're you're, you're, however many years old you are. You've never lived in a house. I've never lived in a house. I have lived in a house. And yeah, you live lived in a two family house. Yeah, attatched, attached brick, two family houses, like a short apartment building. That's a typical mouse. No, that's your typical blue collar family growing up in Brooklyn.

Attached brick. And when we flushed toilets, they went, yeah, yeah, they go, we couldn't hear it because we didn't live basement. We have a basement, right, because you lived in a stubby apartment building. That's what you did. You lived in an apartment building where you had two floors. Someone lived under you and someone lived next to you. That is the that is the That's like dipping your toe in the pool in the pool of houses. Why why you man?

But I lived in an apartment house not far from where you grew up, and all the only thing you had was a staircase and another room. That's it. But you didn't. You still had a neighbor on your other side of your wall. You had a neighbor underneath you, right, But we weren't hearing each other's ship fly by in a pipe. Nothing flew by. There was no sound of ship. There was water going by in a pipe. Oh my god. But it carries, it carries the crap with it, doesn't

It isn't that health toilets work by. I don't know what was in that particular flush. I could have been thrown out makeup cotton balls. But I just would tell you that I'm thinking, if you're we're recording our podcast, we just captured, we almost captured the sound of whatever was being flushed fly by your face. What a terrible loss for the listeners. Hey, do you have a garbage

shoot in your hallway? I do? Okay. So for those of you never lived in an apartment building, what happens is some buildings have one or two on a floor in an apartment building, and you open um like a mailbox, like a big mailbox door, and it's an opening to a shoot, and you throw your garbage into the shoote and it drops all the way down to the basement where some places it's a giant bin and they take it away. Some places it's a compactor and they crush it.

Those buildings tend to have bugs. But what I'm saying is I don't choose to do my podcast next to one of the post. What I'm saying is or it falls into an incinerator and gets burned. Those are the best right there. But when you open that shoot up, sometimes the person on the floor above you throws their crap and mildew and awfulness down the shoot where it almost hits you. Right, if you time it right with

it throwing out that crap, you're crap at the same time. Yes, right, you might get hit with it as it goes down to shoot because you only bag gets stuck, so you're pushing your bag to get it unstuck and your arm goes into the shoot area for half a second and the bag hits you. Right. These things happen living in an apartment, right, that's what happens. Well, the odds of that are slim to none. I've lived in an apartment the last twenty years and that's never that has never happened.

But the odds of a pipe bursting a giant It's about a ten inch diameter pipe that's made of PVC, right, PC in a burst? All right, you can't. I don't understand. It's water, none, nothing amazed. I just you choose to do the podcast ten feet away from this activity. I'm just saying I don't. I don't sit in the in the in the first floor of my building and say it looks I'm gonna hit the I'm gonna hit the record button on the podcast and all of a sudden,

like garbage bags start falling down. Okay, we've done six months of podcasts here in the basement, right, that's the first time anyone has flushed the toilet. Well, so in six months we can talk about this again. I'm not offended by it, but I'm just gonna say, I you know, it was the it was coincidence. What are the odds that that was happening? We almost captured it. But I will tell you this though, all this talk ten minutes before setting up this podcast to get the perfect sounding

audio has not paid off. It sounds like but okay, I raised it again. Why did you do that? Because the headphones are too long and I can't hear you. But that may have been a good thing. I'm gonna want to go back to I'm gonna wreck to thirty now we're at thirties. That better. Yeah, and just yeah,

And just for those people who hit me up. Hub Hubby on Twitter hits me up and he's like, I don't know, scary your system all that money you paid for it sounds like ship because I keep hearing you and I'm gonna and I'm gonna tell you, Hubby the way I said, I'm a previous episode as we do this live test right now in front of everybody, that when I turned Brodie's mike off like that, all the noise goes away. You hear how you can Let's just hear a pin drop for a second. Listen. Okay, I'm

gonna turn Brodie's mycon. Listen if you can hear the process of me turning Brodie's mycon. Oh no, he turned his mic off. See no I didn't there it is on off. Yeah, that's because you have faulty equipment. Because my feed into your equipment over the over the over the system we use your feed over the internet is a problem on your end. Your feed speaking to feed feed. Oh, I wanted to get fed on Monday Labor Day. Labor Day was a holiday. I'm just gonna be boogey boy.

Problems go ahead, No, this is very quick. I wanted I just wanted your opinion on this. Brodie, Alright, it's fine, okay. Don't you feel that holiday Monday's should be treated as Sunday's not just for food, but for every facet of life. And don't answer just yet. But here's why Brodie's calling me bougee because he thinks I'm gonna talking about brunch. But the truth of the the matter is if most of America is waking up on Monday, Labor Day and they had the day off, and forget about those who say

saying right now, I didn't have the day off. Okay, specifically talking to people who have had the day off on a weekday on Monday, don't you think restaurants specifically should have had the foresight to say, I'm gonna put out my normally Sunday brunch menu where we do like ten am to four pm brunch all day because you're not in the it's not a week day. Why why did't you say restaurants specifically, as if gas stations have brunch.

I'm talking about restaurants, diners, anything family. You know the theme the chain play, and I know the chain places. You're like, I don't know what you're talking about. Ida, I go to Denny's, I go to you know, I go to Eyehop and they do breakfast all day. I'm not talking about those establishments. I'm talking about places that have a clear breakfast, lunch, and a dinner. Maybe you've stayed at a hotel before or whatever it is. So

I went into Brooklyn, and the level of stupidity. I love you Brooklyn has Brooklyn in the podcast, but the level of stupidity is just loud and and and and it's ringing in my ear. This is how bad it was. Because I went to six different places just trying to get at noon on Monday, a holiday that really feels like a Sunday, but it was a Monday. I tried to get breakfast and they're like, every one of these places brody, but like, no, sorry, we've moved on to lunch. Now.

That's great during the week. If it was a regular weekday, people are working and maybe you do a breakfast, a lunch, a lunchtime menu, and then at dinner but good God, man, good God, you didn't know one. No one wants to improve their business and get more profit. I couldn't be the only one that didn't want to eat freaking when I woke upuple in Brooklyn, except for the boogie part that's near Manhattan, that's not the part of brook I went to, right, you went to our part of brook

Our part. Our part of Brooklyn doesn't know from Brunch, Bay Ridge and Benton Hurt. There's no brunch in that area. There's only three meals in our old neighborhood, fucking breakfast, fucking lunch, and fucking dinner and then maybe like a fucking snack later. Those are the four meals brunch. Nobody does brunch or give me a mimosa. People in Brooklyn don't have mimosas. Okay, I understand what I just living

in I wanted eggs. I just wanted eggs day. That felt like a Sunday to me because Donalds was on McDonald's. It's a breakfast all day. Now, you know, I don't understand. Did you want did you want to first of all, clear this up. Did you want breakfast late or did you want brunch? Because brunch is a completely different thing. Brunches like buffet style guy making omelets. Uh, you know the tables full of food. That's bunch. I was so desperate I wanted either breakfast or brunch. I just gotten

out of bed early. I wanted eggs. And I'm like, now, normally places would have that if it was on Sunday morning at that same time. That's your mother. Your mother should have made you eggs. You're right by your mom's house. Weren't you staying at your mom's that same that That's neither here nor there. I'm just telling you couldn't make some eggs. Dad couldn't. I don't want to be sexist. Dad couldn't make some eggs today. I'm I'm making eggs

this Monday. I'm just today. Well, that's exactly it. It's it's it's just when I sat there and I said, hey, where's your brunch man? You've seen it online, and they're like, yeah, that's Saturdays and Sundays. But today's Monday to a holiday Monday, which is Sunday, okay, but people aren't trained to have brunch on a Monday, which, by the way, is Labor Day, right, it's the day you want labor beas, like, why don't you go in the back and work on an omelet

for me? Wow, it's a day to celebrate the American worker, not not give them the day off. Like, wh what if a place chooses to be open, they should be just I'm just saying, just would you have to put extra people on for brunch? You don't? Did you want brunch and you just wanted a late at a late egg. I wanted a late egg or brunch. Whatever came first, the late egg or the brunch. That's an age old question which came first? Which came first? The late egg

over the brunch. I just feel like you're in the wrong neighborhood. I just feel like if you're in the boonies of like Arkansas and no friends Arkansas. I'm just thinking of a place that has, like, you know, rural areas. You're like, you're going out and there's a farmhouse. You're like, I want brunch. They're not gonna give you a brunch. Benson Hurst, Brooklyn is the least brunchy place in the North.

They should have given me a late egg. I should have had at least pancakes, wash cracked an egg over your head for even asking you want brunch. Whatever. It didn't have to be fancy Brodie, It just I All I asked for is this pancake waffle um action two hours after I woke up on a holiday and cleaning the griddle. They shouldn't be the waffle maker. Nobody was

ordering lunch on a on a holiday Monday. I'm just saying, all right, which leads, by the way that at that when we finally we settled, we had lunch at a place that offered brunch if it was Sunday, but it was Monday. You follow so far and and led to a scamboni. And I know you have one too, so we might as well just do that right here, all right? Yeah, unearthed this while I was sitting there forced into eating lunch. We are we back to back, scarying Go ahead, well

it was it was at the same place. And then and I want and then I want you to talk about your scamboni. This is I got a problem going. Yeah, but maybe you can help with this one. Check this out. I couldn't help with the last one that you know you certainly couldn't you. All you can do is to add to the flame to the fire. And yell at me for no reason. So there was a scamboni at the restaurant because because we we couldn't find the brunch

or breakfast. So the guy gave me two menus. He goes, well, not only do we have lunch, but we also have our dinner as well. We'll give you that menu. So Brodie, I had a chance to compare side by side lunch and dinner menus, and low and behold, there were no less than three or four items. And I said this on the Big Show briefly, but I wanted to see why people do this and how they get away with it, and I wanted to expose it to the Brooklyn Boys audience.

Oh I got something for this. You go ahead, yeah, I know you do. With that that that they will take the same portion size lunch and charge you up charge you for the dinner menu because I saw two menu. So the shrimp cocktail, let's just say it was twelve dollars for four pieces. At dinner time, that same shrimp cocktail was fifteen dollars for four pieces. I'm like, look at this from one menu to the next. The Cops salad was the same thing all the almost all the salads.

So and the portion size where they were the same for lunch size or dinner size. They clearly confirmed that. So we then we when I said this on the Big Show, like three or four people in the hospitality industry were whistleblowers. I'm like, yep, we do that same exact portion size, but we just up charged because it's because it's dinner. Because because the clock strikes five, they're they're they're up charged because it's dinner. But they're also

downcharging because they want to increase their lunch business. It's like it's like the Scamboni in New Jersey. Right, So in New Jersey, I don't know about let's say ten years ago, it could have been eight whatever, gas stations would charge more for credit cards, right, right, So they

would charge you like fifteen cents more credit card. So New Jersey passed the law and said it's illegal to charge more for credit cards because it's unfan of the consumer, right because the gas stations have to pay a transaction fee a master card and visa, so they would prefer to get cash money, right, but because they don't report half of it anyway, right, because let's they have a Scamboni going on for themselves. They want to be a cash under the table Uncle Sam, don't know they sold

all that gas. So that lasted I don't know, about a year. Then the gas stations figured out, whoa wait a minute, we can't charge more for credit cards, but we can give a discount for cash. Boom. So now we're still paying more for credit cards. But actually you're saving money by cash, my friends, is a scamoni. Wow. So so they never really lowered the price. Sorry, they never They never really raised the price on credit cards.

They just no, they reset their price, making the credit card price what they call the normal price, which was more expensive. And then then the cash price was discounted, but not enough to that it's not enough that they lose the discount. They're still making money because the four ten cents of gallon, they're still saving on the transaction. So they still want the cash from you, because because if you get twenty gallons, they're out there out two dollars.

But if they caused them like three to pay master Card, that is to scamboni right there. Plus most people don't get twenty gallons. Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I'm sorry, there's a commercial that ran about ten years ago, and it's always bothered me. And this is before we did the podcast, and it was before I think I had um the opportunity to tape my radio the way you do now. I could back up. But there was a commercial, and I don't think I talked about on

this podcast. Maybe I did. I'm sorry if in three years we've talked about, I apologize. But there was a commercial where they were trying to say you should shop at a smaller UM home improvement store or something, or like shop at smaller places that like when you go to some home improvement stores, they're gigantic. They're like being in an airport. You can't find anything and there's no personalization, right.

And the guy UM apparently was like on like a golf cart kind of thing to go from one end of the store to the other because it was so big, and he's like, hey, give me a break. This thing only holds half a tank. If a tank can't hold half a tank, whatever that holds is the tank. See the said was I've already been through half a tank of gas. No, what he was trying to say was he wouldn't make it to the other end of the

store and I've already and I've already know. What he should have said was I only I have a small tank, or I only have half of a normal tank. But he said, this thing only holds half a tank of gas. That's no Whatever size tank you have is a tank of gas. Okay, So he was trying to What he was trying to do was normalize a car's tank of gas and saying it was half from there. So saying like words, I have half what a normal I gotta

have a car tank. I think he was trying to say it would take a full car's tank of gas, right, But he said, this thing only holds a half a tank of gas. Well, there's no right the tank itself relative to the tank, there's no right. Whatever size tank you have the tank? Yeah right, Well that was his colloquial colloquialial ism. Oh absolutely, um, what are you typing? Oh my god, I'm sorry, just up side that are you setting a telegram? Yeah? Okay, so let me set

the stage to scare. Doesn't set the stage. I have a boom mic, right, So a boom mic is like a scissor arm that extends the microphone towards your face, so you can push it away. Please push it away, dude, shut up. This one clips onto the little bridge table that I'm have my laptop on, So it clips onto the table right, and then it allows the microphone to move back and forth like an arm. Yeah, but I don't have a shock mount like we do with the

radio station. So our shock mount, the microphone sits in like um like uh high school, trying to bring the egg to school as a baby. You ever you ever been like in one of those bungee jump things where like you you put a harness around you and you jump up and down on a trampoline and it's like it's got ropes on all the sides. You can flips right. So it sits in this rubber thing so it's suspended and that absorbs the shocks. So when you hit the table,

the microphone doesn't get the vibration. We have those at the radio station. I don't have that at home. So when I type on the keyboard, that vibrates into the table, up the arm and it shakes it. To lend you one, I have three. It has to fit this particular microphone you have, you know, my micah. In fact, by the way, when I bang on my desk. By the way, I have the same setup as Brody with a with a microphone with the clip and all the off and then

and the scissor arm with the clamp. Here's what happens when being on my table. Listen, guess why because I have the rubber shock mount and my mic is suspended and came free. There was a part of that. You spend fifty seven thousands. These are the perks people of spending six man time's flying man breaking a second So the thing with the less money for the lunch thing. I have two scambonies with pizza related so can I

can I get it? We're on the scamboni segment. Even though hold on in case you were mistaken, you know there was any doubt in your mind. I'm sorry what segment of me. But by the way, it was anything said on on the radio this week. He said, oh, I've got I've got a scamboni I want to talk about. But nobody in the room reacted to it because none of them knew what a scamboni was. They didn't like, they didn't they weren't like a slice. They didn't get it, but didn't know. You didn't need to be a slice

to know. The words scamboni is a playoff of the words scam, of course, but nobody. Nobody responded because for whatever reason. It's by the way, speaking of not knowing what you're talking about. I'm not going to call them out because they didn't really do anything wrong. But um, one of our slices who writes us a lot, he tweeted at me and you and Elvis and Danielle and Froggy and god, I think everyone on the show that's a family affair and said, yeah, I agree with Rody

or something like that. I would never leave my keys on the dash based on Yeah. So that was something we only spoke about between you and I and the slices on the books because I pointed out and I saw I said, so I said to the listener, I said, hey, man, um, nobody knows what you're talking about because that was on the Brooklyn Boys podcast. And he said, oh, I just

assumed they heard it. They did not listen to this podcast. Now. Actually, then you may catch some stuff here and there, because the son is a huge fan, right, but the rest of them not a chance, not a chance. So I te He's like, oh yeah, he so m. I thought maybe they would listen and know what I was talking about. No, No, I wish they did. That would be amazing to have more. I gotta give me Alvis credit. Though Alvis does pop

in from time to time. He'll pop into a half an episode and like or someone will tell him, hey, did you know what they talked about? And he'll he'll like, he'll put it on because sometimes you'll go, oh, I aren't just talking about blah blah blah. So I gotta give him some props. But I don't think anyone has heard anyone else. Safelight Repairs. Safe Light replaced Scamboni of leaving your keys in the nashpoint. Now, if you don't know what we're talking about, listening to last week's episode

should be listening in order. Um okay. So there's a pizza place not far from my house that I love, right, but they have different prices for lunch and dinner. So I asked, I said, the chicken palm. At lunch time, I think it's like twelve, and at night it's uh something like that, right, So I asked him, I said, what time is the cut off? Right? Because I want to make sure I pay the less price. They went, oh, well, the smaller one is less money. I said, it's I mean,

the less expensive one is smaller. I said, how so well the one or eleven nine whatever it is is two pieces of chicken palm with spaghetti, and the more expensive one is three pieces. So I said, okay, Well, what's the cut off time? They said they told me the cut whatever. The cut off time was for thirty whatever it was. So I called one night and I said, hey, if I want to order this this this a pizza or whatever, and I want the lunch size Porsche the

chicken pop. Did you try and do that at night? Yeah, I said, I would like the smaller size, and they said, well that's not available. That's the lunch size. Why would it not be available for them to give you one cutlet instead to wait wait a minute, I don't want three. I only want to so I would like to pay the two price. Well, that's the lunch size not available

right now, sir, it's dinner time. So I said, okay, I said, give me the bigger one, then take one out and then give me a free slice of pizza something. But I'm not paying eighteen dollars. I don't want the third one you can't. Sorry, but that's the thing. But but this is this speaks to my point, And why the funk? Is there a time cut off where all of a sudden prices jump. Oh it's past this time, so all of a sudden, this parm is premium and

you gotta pay the pipe. They assume you want a bigger meal at lunch, but I was like, no, I just want the same size I eat. I'm not more of a govone at night. I'm not that hungry. I just want the two cutlets. In fact, if you know any health of dietitian, they'll tell you you're supposed to eat bigger earlier and then less late. So if anything, they should be giving you less at night, and the price should be going. I did ask that question. I said,

can I order the larger size for lunch? Oh? Absolutely? Oh that you have no problem. So if I order the extra they want the three cutlets at lunch, no problem, I said, great, So I said tomorrow'll order the lunch for lunch, but tonight I want them the small So for me, they do it now because I'm a regular customer, but I have to tell them what I order. Hey, it's David, and I want the small for dinner. All right, Okay, they know why. I know they're rolling their eyes. That's

the thing. But why should the price change only work in their favor? That that sucks. That sucks. But the thing is, it shouldn't be just be David. David from New Jersey, you know, it should be everybody. They should be taking care of David, Brooklyn, David from Brooklyn. All right, you got your microphone is so loud? I know, is someone in your family pooping? Because no, something's gonna here. I hear, I hear a hum. That's on your side, my friend. No, smack your mike. Hold on, hey, that's dirty.

Hold on, spit on it. Okay, there's definitely a hum. Let me see if I can adjust the level. Hold on, let me turn this down a little bit. No, I'm hearing a hum because it doesn't know the words. All right, let's take a break and figure this out. You cut me off mid sentence, you bastard. And do you guess what the hum is? Still there? I don't know what the hum is. The hams I lowered it. It's still a hum. This is absolutely dreadful. This is we can't go to the rest of the podcast like this, I

don't know what it is. It's not in my room, it's not out outside, because when I take my headphones off, I don't hear it. It's terrible. Hold on, I'll turn the game down again. Hold on. Oh this is bad. This is not good. Hold on, I'm here and there. Don't hear anybody making fun of my equipment. Now it's gone, it's gone. What you do? Nothing? Oh that is not that's not good. Dude, you realize that. No, I jiggled the headphone cable. Maybe that was it. I don't know, jiggle.

We had that problem in Brooklyn. Without toilet bowl, you used to have to jiggle the handle otherwise it would constantly, like like you ever, I flushed a toilet and it would just go and it would gurgle, and then the water would keep going, keep going, keep going. And my mother's like, you gotta jiggle the handle. And I never understood the concept, and like what so I would go back in the bathroom and I would jiggle the handle and all of a sudden it would clear it up.

And then, now that you're an adult, do you know why that is? No? I don't. I never looked inside of the back of the bath. I never did an upper tank, now did you have? So you had an upper tank right because you building. We didn't have a tank system. We had just flushed and the pipe. If you look at my toilet, even the one here in my apartment building and everywhere that I've ever taken a dump, um, there's a a toilet tank of water behind it. Most

people have that. I lived in an old pre World War two building when I was growing up and there was no tank. The good thing is you don't have to wait for it to fill up, you just keep flushing. Oho. So then why did it? What was the jiggle problem? The jiggle the handle? We didn't have a jiggle problem.

I'm explaining to you what the jiggle problem. I'd like to know what it was for people that have the inside that you've never had the problem now as an adult in your house, you've never taken in my current apartment, I never had the problem ever. Okay, So what happens is when you pull that lever down that's attached to a to a lever inside pulls a chain up. Okay, yes,

I've seen this before. It's like a Pulley system. And it opens pulls a rubber flapper up that opens the bottom of the tank that lets the water go out into your toilet. Understand, okay, I understand basic knowledge of that, but I don't really go back there very often. But sometimes when you let go of the handle, the flap doesn't drop back down and cover the hole, so the water keeps going into the hole. Sometimes the flap will

fall a little off to the side. The handle will will set it back to where it needs to go. If it didn't drop right, it'll drop it. If it dropped wrong, and it lifts it back up and then drops it again. You have now increased the odds of it once I. Once I drop one, then I should make sure manual drop and drop it. But I will say, isn't it fascinating again? Another fascinating moment. I have never had to change that part of your toilet all the

years you live in that apartment. That means it's gonna go, and it's gonna go any minute now. But I will say, this isn't it Isn't it crazy? How we are still we are still functioning on a system that was created like a three hundred years ago. I don't know if the flapper is three years, we'll think about when they Maybe it's never been changed, this upper system, this upper tank system. That's not that's not that's maybe seventy years. Yeah,

but still I find it so cool. In a world where we're you know, we're texting in our food orders and food shows up at your door, we're still using this ancient system. So what do you want a vacuum system like on airplane. I'm just I'm noticing it, and I'm I'm showing appreciation for a you. You have been amazed by toilet since this podcast started. Pipes and poop and water and toilet. Oh my, oh my, I can't. I don't do you get out of Okay, I'm sorry. If you have to fix anything in the house, could

you fix anything? UM, call the guy, the guy of maintenance. Who would I call? I'm just trying to think of this something I fixed personally that I was proud of. Uh no, no, I built something. I built a glider chair nice out of the box. Well, all the parts came. H yeah, I was in a flat box and it

took me about an hour and a half. By the way, this this came up in conversation I had somebody from Home Depot at my house yesterday, uh measuring something to for a project, not a sponsor, and so part of the thing was like, oh, um, and then you know, if you do the countertops, we'll give you a new sink. And are you good with UH pipe? Can you attach pipes and everything? I said, no, I'm I I said,

I installed the fawcett. I did that, But as far as connecting that the giant pipe from the sink to the pipe in the wall, I would prefer not to do that. I can't risk a leak. I have the tools for it. But I probably would. I'd probably you know, I'd call so much, just so you have a person, I said, yeah, I got a guy. Just oh, you got a guy. I said, yeah, she's just yeah, it's just Oh you're from Jersey. I said, no, no, from Brooklyn.

There is a difference. The difference, I said, in Jersey you go, I got a guy, and in Brooklyn you go, hey, I got a guy. Right, that's the difference. You look around, right, you whisper it, you go, yeah, I got a guy that like, like, I don't want to talk about it, but I got it. Something needs to get done, wink quank. I got guy in Chelsey. It's like, no, I know a guy, he'll come off. I got a guy in Brooklyn. You're like, you know, I gotta I got so. I

was just doing a visual scan in my apartment. And I can honestly say that I have not ever done any home I've never done any home improvement in his place. I don't think there's anything I can name, Brody, that I've actually fixed. I've called the maintenance for the maintenance, even installed my brand new um Fawcett that I have in my kitchen. I have a kitchen in a bathroom faucet,

and I watched him do it. Again. I was taking but that's included in your rent, right in your in your feet, your feet, your feet, not that that that got a guy. Now. The guy he came up and he did it for me. But I can't paid him to do it. I had. I've had to replace two toilets in my house, right, you get that on your own hold. On the first one, I paid a guy and it was like a few hundred dollars to put the toilet in, right, I'll pay every time. The second

one I put in the toilet get out now. I had a friend come over, we read the instructions, we watched a video, and we installed the toilet. Really yeah, because for five hundred bucks or whatever it was, whatever, I was like, I'm doing it myself. Yeah, I would never. I would never take that risk. No, you wouldn't you you you're and I grew up in an apartment. We didn't fix anything. We had a super. Well you know a super is he this super the red Cape? Right?

Super guy heat? No, he has keys on his belt and uh yeah, I come up and fixed that way. Yeah. Uh so we had a we had a guy and so what you know, we had like forty eight apartments in the building. I said about forty eight, and so you had to weight your turn. So if something broke and it wasn't important, you had like three weeks before I let light fixture got fixed. Air conditioner broke once. Here is the h VAC system. Here it's a central air and that broke once. I needed maintenance for that.

My microwave got fucked. No, nobody fixes microwaves that. I get a microwave guy and my my mating, this guy did that, dude, I right, helps am I fix the microwave last week to fix the microwave door. I to take the door apart, fix it because you do it if you have to do it. First of all, you don't want to wait until somebody shows up. And sometimes it's not worth I like to weigh it out. My wife jokes at me. In my mind, everything's fifty bucks. In my mind's like, oh, because I got you know what,

that's a half hour is worth the work. I gotta come over fifty bucks. That's how much I think it should cost. So when I asked for the quote and they say one seventy five to walk in the door, I go, in my mind, I've prepared myself a fifty so already at once. Any five ago, I'll funck no. So I ordered the pots online. I put the door on myself, because then I go, is it worth to do it right? Is it an hour of my time? Or is it like a six hour project? If the guy comes and he does it in an hour, I

can't do it an hour. Then I go, I'll pay the guy right like a plumber. A lot of times I can't do it. I don't have the power the power of snake right. I don't have the Power Snake nice seven in these eighties reference by the way, that well it's back. Now. Have you know Kevin Smith who did Clerks comic book Men, the director. Yes, he bought the rights to Grace Skull to he man. He brought them all back. He's bringing new episodes back. Don't tweet me anyway. Uh so that yes, So I fixed a

bunch of stuff in the house. Now. A lot of times I'm like third times a charm guy. So I'm like, I'm really good at like hanging stuff, But never the first time. It's always not level, even though I use a level because the house is a level, So I have to readjust according to the house. Or I'll put something on the wall and I'll go it's too high, then I gotta lower it. You should always go low when you hang something because if you go high, the picture itself will cover the holes. But if you go

too high and you lower it, then the holes are showing. Yeah. No, that's that's always go long. I have. I have hung pictures and I have used that method. Brodie. So yeah, did did I tell you I fixed my television and set my daughter's television set? They'll tell you that I fixed television. So she's got Um, I'm gonna okay, So most of my TVs they're Samsung, not a sponsor, but they should be. Love Samsung televisions. When I was a kid, it was all about Sony. Right, Samsung is now the

new number one brand for TV. You be'st LG has the old lads, Those are the Porsches, those are the luxury long lan That okay, but but when you want to buy a nice but not Porsche, Samsung's very goods are better than LG is very good. Let's put it this way. Either way, I compare it. If we're going old school, I compare uh. I think honestly, in my opinion, LG is the Sony and uh Sam Samsung is the Panasonic.

That's no, no, no, I'll tell you why. Because because l G l okay, we'll not only get to something else up, we gotta have other things. We gotta take care of it. Okay. So anyway, so LG so my daughter I bought LG TV. So my kids it's because there were some features that they liked, and I was like, all right, they're not Samsung, but they wanted these particular features. Right. They have Netflix buttons in the remote. So she hit

the Netflix button. Boom, it goes right to Netflix. Really easy. Okay. I bought them when they were younger, and I thought that would be you know, nether old enough to go. I put to hit the input button, but these are like, oh I have Netflix buttons. Boom. Okay. So my daughter says to me, it's not reaching the WiFi. It's not finding WiFi in the house, so she can't stream, which you know, please, I get a teenage door who can't stream. Hello, we have a problem, So I really I. I do

a software upgrade. No it doesn't work. Um, I reboot the WiFi. It doesn't work. So I start googling the problem. So the solution most common is to change the country right because it has to a country you're in. It says, change it to any country but America, and then when you change it back to America, it will reset and it'll work. So I do that. No, it doesn't work. I reboot the TV. Doesn't work. I reset the factory standards. Doesn't work. In the side I did not. I couldn't

get my leg up high enough on the wall. So finally I read that there's a defect in the LG televisions from this year, most of the models. There's a wire, right, it's a flat wire. Did you have to jiggle it? The wire? Right? So there's a wire that when they make the television. You know what when you fold when you take the corner of a piece of paper and you fold it over, so it forms a triangle. Yes, okay, this wire as flat, would get folded to the left, so it would look like a triangle at the top.

But so it'd have to make a left turn. So the wire goes in. It makes a left turn. When you turn it on itself, you bend it and it plugs into wherever plugs in. Okay that wire over time crimps. Ah, okay, So I had to after I watched the video take the TV off the wall, which, by the way, I hung. Have we haven't hung a television never? Oh yeah, I did. Yeah again with my maintenance people. I have three, three of us, and we did you drilled the whole all right? So I I hang all the TVs. So I take

the TV off the wall. Now I have to take the entire frame off. I take the back off first, right, and in the back of this parts inside can take them off. Then you take the whole frame and the television off because it's not They don't make it easy. They don't want you and they don't want you to do it. No, they want you to say or they want you to bring it in for service. It would be great if you just push some buttons like the back of it like a laptop, you just slide the

back off. Right. No, no, you have to take a screwdriver and pop, pop, pop all the clips and but they make a sound because they're plastic, like you cracked it. Now the back of these clips attack is the front bezel. It's the it's the punt of goes around the screen. So if you cracked this, you at as my besel right, So I get right, So I get this thing off, and it tells you take to take this flat wire off, flatten it back unfolded, right unfolded, and you make the

turn twist it so you have to take off. So I understand where So you have to do all this just a crimp out of a wire? Right? So I did this right? You have to do it carefully because if you do anything wrong, you've ruined the wire and it's it's attached the wire is attached. It's not like it's just playing operation as a kids. It's attached to one other part of the TV that connects to the part of the part, so you can't even anyway the

red noses lighting up. So it took me about an hour and it was all you had to do was just unfolded right, take off the little bend in half and just plug it in yourself, which I did and it worked. It worked fine, of course. Now here's the problem. I bought two televisions at the same time at PC Richards. You're waiting for the other one crap out. But they gave me like, actually a couple of bucks off of buying two of them. It was like during Black Friday

weekend a few years ago. Right, I'm waiting for the next one now to crap out because it sounds like it was a fluke. It's a known problem that happens with these goddamn televisions. Damn yeah. So, by the way, a half hour ago, I had another pizza scam. When do you want to get to that? Another another scamboni? I got one more. By the way, if I'm wrong, we have shipped piling up here. And when I see ship piling up. It's in a toilet and it's about to go down, all right, but if I don't do

it now, people are gonna get mad. Go go go, all right, go go gadget. There's a pizza place near where my mom lives. They have fantastic Sicilian pizza. The guy who works there, who owns the place, right, he's from our neighborhood and Bensonhurst, so he's he's like, you know, he's he's one of us. But he's like, you know, hey, how you doing. But he does the right thing, you know, like he's the good guy. So I'm not I'm not saying it's a bad guy, but you know he's got

that bad right. Thanks thanks Billy Ellish. Episode. Okay, so I call up and I say, now, I only usually eat Sicilian corners. I like to handle. So I'm driving home from my mom. I want the handle because it's easier to eat in the car. So I call up and I say to the girl, you got Sicilians. I need three Sicilian corners. You can also do that with the side corners and sides the middle. Thanks, but no thanks on the middle. But I like the corner. It's

a good handle. It's solid and you can hold it from the corner from the If you do the side, you got to eat it at an angle. I don't want to do that. I want the corner so I can put. I can eat the at a diamond. I like to eat from the corner. I understand at an angle. She says, Yes, we've got three. Actually shows we have three slices of Sicilian left, a corner aside, and a middle. We have three left. Now, I love this a Sillian pizza. Right, okay, I said, you know what, give me all three? Not

a problem. All right? How did you manage with the middle? Well? I figured I wouldn't need all three slices on the ride home, so I'll say that the other one a knife and fork? Right? No, hell, no sacrilege. You know who did that? By the way, your daughter. No. There is a famous clip if you can find it on Laine because it's only on It was only on Comedy

Central's website. It was j Start from the Daily Show was talking about a certain New Yorker who in an episode of whatever TV show he was being filmed that he was eating pizza with a knife and fork. Yep, Okay, now, that guy may or may not be president. Now it's a hilarious clip about how New Yorkers don't eat pizza with a knife and fork anyway. So I get there. The place is busy, right, everyone's got masks on, no complaints, and Uh, I said, David, I'm having my three siling slices.

The owner UH is working behind the counter, and the girl says, here you go. I opened the box to put a little regano on top, and I see that the corner looks normal. The side is a little bit bigger than a normal slice, a little bit, and the middle is a tiny little nothing. No that, so it's it's sort of so when they when they slice the entire pie, that was the fucking you know, that was the orphan slice, right, that was the runt of the litter. So everyone else who ordered the outside they got the

benefit of the middle. The middle slice being small, all the sides got an extra, right, I'm telling you, it wasn't like a smid small. Don't tell who you complained about this, brod not hold on? Hold on. So I said to the guy, I said, hey, listen, he knows me. I'm a regular customer there. We've talked about Brooklyn. But hold on, okay, but here's okay, continue again. I was gonna come right back at you. It's scary. It was tiny. It was tiny. So I said, hey, um, different slice.

No you didn't. It was the last day I did well. I the girl said to me she had three slices, but I didn't. They gave you. What happened? Did they have at So I figured maybe he'd go like, oh, just give me, like pay for two or something. Right, he goes uh. I said, yeah, but the other one is bigger, so it's all the same. And by the way, I was going to say the same thing team him. So he says that the side is bigger, so it's scary. The side was like ten percent bigger and the middle

was fifty smaller. I'm paying full price. I didn't ask for the slice with an extra that's a bonus, but the little one. So why does it only work in your favor? Why did there a struggling business in these COVID times? They should have cut the pizza the right We're can quibbling over the side list and you've got a little bit extra on the other slice. Extra you got really ready scary? This was like a cracker. This

was like prischetta. This is like when you go to the go to the restaurant they put prishetta on a little slice of toasted Italian bread. That's what it was. It was made. Gus just ordered the two slices and walk away. You don't need to point you aren't. You weren't even gonna eat the slice. Hold on, that's my question. See you agree with me, then see what you would have done. I said, you would have said, no, just give me two slices. Then right, I would have said,

you know what, I'm not gonna eat. You even said at the beginning of this conversation you wouldn't have had You wouldn't have eaten the third slice anyway, you wouldn't even you didn't even like the middle. So guess what. So I would cut my losses, not even loss. I would pay for the two. I could extra on the other one you and I would tell him. I would tell him to take the little one back out of the box. I would tap out. I would do that. Okay, then you agree with me? So is that what you did? No?

I I sucked it up because I love the place. I don't want to piss the guy off. And I was like, okay, yeah, okay. But I said to myself podcast what I would, what I would, but I knew you'd agree with me. I go, okay, then take it back, take it back, but I don't need that. You can't sell it. No one's gonna pay full price for that slice, nobody. He's gonna end up in the garbage. Or he should have said to me. He should have said to me, guy from Brooklyn. He should have said, hey, regular customer

comes in with a silion every week. Here's a body. I'm want to get a charge of it to the little shitty once afraid all right, but you would have done to see, but I will. I might have said, look, I'm just gonna finish off the box whatever. If I wanted a third slice that badly, I'm like, you know what, I'm getting a little extra on this other slice. So I'm getting a lot extra on this, all right, You win something, you lose some, I'll I'll take all three.

If I lose too small, how small it's too small? Well, just look down right, no one's paying full price for that either. Try to meat with body and scary all right, So I have to clear something up real before we go, and this is we don't know before we go to the next thing. What we're gonna talking about. Um, you know grammar police jingle? Ready, Okay, I will do that. Stop typing more code over here. UM sending telegrams back

to He's going back to the future. Okay. Um. So I just wanted to say that Jorge Martinez was nice enough last week to send us. Uh, he sent this. What did his snacks? Right? Remember he got you your scoops, which, by the way, come and get your box of ship. I have an accruing box of crap that is sitting in my living room. I got nowhere to put it of a small apartment, all right, So he got scoops we talked about in the last episode. But then mysteriously

in the box was a cosplay mask. And I mentioned the name of the person, so I gave them credit. They sent us this cosplay mask. This is part of the free it for us segment and um, but also mysterious mysteriously appearing were these Brooklyn T shirts. It was a Brooklyn speaking of pizza. It was the Brooklyn Square since since two thousand one, and their black T shirts. One for you, one for me and I and on

the back is the big ee quote spread love. It's the Brooklyn Way with the Brooklyn Bridge there, which by the way, looks like our Brooklyn Bridge from our logo, which is interestingly close by the way if you examine it anyway. So so, so he sent us these two shirts. Um, but I didn't know that that was part of his package. See, somebody, somebody opened up. We've been having this problem lately at the radio station we did. We talked about it with

the chlorox wipes. Um. People have been sifting through our ship or opening boxes and then resealing them or whatever it was. Because when I opened up the box of free ship for us, that mask was in there, which Jorge did not send, and these shirts were on top of the box, which made me believe that they were

that they weren't part of what Jorge said. I thought he just sent us to snacks and uh, you understand, you followed so far the snacks and all right whatever he said to me an almond flour cookies or whatever. All right, So he and there was a letter in the box that I never made it to my hands, So I never fucking knew what the hell was going on. I'm just like, oh, here's some free ship for us, UM and I just saw Jorge Martinez and I read it off of the mailing label. That's why how I

knew who it was. But he writes to us. He said, well, guess what what's up at Brooklyn Boys. It's this is the Jersey Boy, Jorge Martinez. He emailed this to us, this letter, he said, sending you a couple of shirts. Okay, this was okay. By the way, this was the letter that should have been in the box. I should have read with everything, which would have explained it so really quickly. I'm sending you a couple of shirts from one of

the best pizzerias in New Jersey. Pizza Pete is a Brooklyn native and has brought his great pizza skills his talents to j acts in New Jersey. The place is called Brooklyn Square and he's known for his upside down square pies, which, by the way, we've been talking about NonStop on this podcast since episode zero. I've been delivering product to his three locations for a couple of years now. So I figured why not hook up the Brooklyn Boys

with shirts to represent a Brooklyn native. That's the shirts we have here, not a sponsor. Both of you should definitely give it a taste. Um. Dave Portnoy, the stool President day from Barstool Sports, gave him an eight point nine in his one Bye pizza reviews. You've seen those on YouTube. Hey, Frankie, Frankie, you know the Reverando's rules. Just one bye, Dave Portnoy. Um. Also, I have bought two of the Brooklyn Boys T shirts. So he bought

these for us and sent them one. Oh no, he brought two from our store, the merch store, which we have to mention in a second, the Brooklyn Boys merch Store, one for myself and the other for Pizza Pete. So he bought so Pizza Pete gave us two of his Brooklyn Square Pizza T shirts. And you know, uh, Jorge Martinez picked up the tab for a two Brooken Boys

T shirts for himself he bought. W wait a second, shouldn't we give him free Brooken Boys T shirts if he's given us all this free crap, the snacks and these pizza shirts. I don't know anyway, Uh, anyway, we're all supporting the system. I hook you guys, up with some treats to Brody. The multi green tostito scoops scary, some low carb chocolate chip cookies. Since you've been trying out vegan ones, this was really sore of thoughtful of you, um, the snack on these while the big show is going on.

These are vegan. I made a big deal about vegan cookies. So yeah, so, Jorge, thank you for sending the letter that I was supposed to read that was in the fucking box that Brody mysteriously disappeared. So the letter was missing. Didn't disappeared, No, Brody, the letter was missing. That's why when I came. When we if you listen to the last episode and we got all this free ship, I thought it came from like three, you know, three different people.

I had no idea what was going on. Fucking hey man, why do people open up boxes leaving them for us? And then then I mean, this is a real problem. Do we really solute it for free ship? For us? Right now? If this is the way it's gonna be going forward, we have to worry about people coming in and opening our ship. Yeah. I don't trust anybody. They just stealing our ship left and right. Yeah, So anyway, So that was the letter that was supposed to be

in the box. And then yes Brodie. Mysteriously those T shirts were from Jorge as well and Pizza Peete. So that's and I do have one free ship for us, but it's really free shipped for me. Does it really count? Uh? Sure? Why not? We have we have a free ship for us that's coming. Oh yeah, well no, we have a free ship for us. Also free ship us. Oh good you got yeah, Well this is scary now. I just really quickly, Um, if you could always send us free ship, yeah,

I feel free for us. It would be great for us, but this is just for me in this case. UM, send it to Scary Jones, David Brodie, David Brodie, s Are Jones or whatever, in care of the Brooklyn Boys. Podcast Z one hundred radio New York City on radio two sixth Avenue or Avenue of the American New York City, one, New York, New York one zero zero one three. If you want to send free ship, it will get to the radio station. It might be opened. Who knows if

it'll ever make it to us. But I'm gonna try and look every single day that I have a packed with the mail guy. Now say, yo, anytime you see that, go hide it in this area so no one can open our ship. And we get all this confusion. Yeah. By the way, the mail guy knows that's something shipped to me. Now he just takes it and sends it right to my house. Good. Yeah, well it's the best, all right? Maybe I should Maybe so, I want to shout out to Kimberly's trendy boutique. I don't know where

you are. I think it's an Instagram store on Etsy. She sent me a T shirt. She's competing against the Brooklyn Boys March store. And is this even legal Brodie? She's she's she's she's manufacturing and selling shirts about Elvis Durand's Big Show. They're different quotes on different shirts. And on this T shirt that she sent me for free was Mr Michael Oppenheimer is my favorite telemarketer. And in parentheses she writes a k A. Skeary Jones. This shirt

says Mr Michael Oppenheimer went. By the way, if you're not listening to the Big Show, that is a telephone telemarketer character that they do um on for phone taps to to to piss people off. And pissed the funk out of them. I've done enough for years, and uh now my question you is, is Kimberly profiting off our bones because she's sending She sent me a free copy of the shirt, which is nice, thank you, But I don't know, Brodie, how do you feel about her taking?

First of all, I'm upset that I'm not on the shirt and I'm not her favorite phone tappers, so that's problem number one. So it sounds to me you ever go to a concert, right, you go to a concert of a rock band, right then you go out, or a baseball game and you go out, or any kind of concert don't be a rock band, and you go outside, and then those those guys who go twenty dollars inside

ten dollars outside. Yes, of course, they gave me the prices, and they sell the shirts that they pull out of their bag or their underwear right on in the puffy coat, they pull out the shirts, whatever side you need. Um is she gonna stand outside our studio someday, go on Alvistrand Morning Show studio building, get Travis Duran's shirts. Twenty hours inside ten dollars outside. She's she's so yeah, she knocking us off. Is that what she's doing. I don't know. Well,

we're not. We're not sharing any of the profits. That's correct, by the way. If you I would say it's intellectual property, but none of us stuff is intellectual zero. Um. In fact, I'm trying to see if she did something with you brodie for you, because I could tell you if you go on Instagram to add Kimberly's Trendy boutique and it's k I M b e r l e e s

Trendy Boutique. She also has a T shirt that she's selling called it says I love Elvis Durrand in the Morning Show and it's with the Morning Show's colors but not a logo, so there's no copyright infringement there. So it's a why don't we go to her website that's using Elvis's Elvis's name is trademarked, right, But now take a look at her last two Instagram posts. Hold on, I'm not going to Mr Michael Oppenheimer's shirt is on there. You could see it. You could buy it from her store. Now,

I mean, you're encouraging thievery. Is it thievery? Though? That's a question do you think Do you think Metallica when they're on stage says, hey, guys, if you go outside, you can get the shirts for less. That's what you're doing right now. Um you're doing. I'm looking through all of her shirts. She looks like she makes shirts for every everybody. She does. She puts Skanke shirts, Cowboy shirts. No, go to go to Instagram real quick and see I'm

talking about eat, sleep, soccer repeat. She made a shirt called I don't think that's uh, you know, proprietary and for Asian is that intelligence step belongs to a certain company now bibbity bobbity bump bump, a takeoff of Disney bibbity bobby bump. She has a shirt I can fix you. Um, I can play it might be upset about that eats, sleep, baseball repeat cold play. That's right, you know what she's taking everyday life quote she's tagging. She tagged Elvistrand the

morning show. She tagged all of us. Oh this must I don't remember seeing this two days ago. Um no, it's complimentary. I got a comment. But she's not making complimentary. Listen, but she can. It's somebody complementary, like it's a compliment to us. It's not complimentary as it's free. Well we're not. We're not seeing a dime at it. I'm not getting profits off the she is selling Elvis and our look colors that color. She's a huge fan of the show.

We're just blowing up her Instagram right now. But if you buy a shirt from her what she put what if she makes a shirt with Nike swation rights? Just do that right and let's do it. Do you think he's gonna come after her? Yeah? She is. She teetering here is it's like a gray area. Is No, it's a green and blue area. It's the colors of the She's a shirt called Beauty and the bump like for like Theoppenheimer shirt. And I'm thinking, yeah, that's that's your shirt,

like which is called a Kuna matata. Oh my god, this is blatant, dude. She's got Halloween Town, Adams Family, Beetle Juice, and Casper those are those are trademark games. Well, she's got a huge store online right now. I mean, God bless her. Right now. She's off free free shipping with the purchase. Do you know what this is like? When you promoted the set call her Daddy podcast. You

can't you can't point out things that are that don't better. Like, I'm sure Kimbily is a wonderful woman, but she has bad taste and phone taps, but I love you, Kimberly put my name. She's got Disney merchandise on here, dude, by this reminds me in Brooklyn, growing up in Brooklyn, growing up, there was a Middle Eastern uh like falafel place in Brooklyn that when they had a mural on the wall with um with Aladdin, and there was the guy.

It was the guy literally the cartoon was was was absolutely like drawing the same exact way, and he was like holding like a Peter pocket of and I'm like copyright infringement much. They had pictures of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on their wall, and I like the guy. Forget what I think it was in Maine. It was somewhere in the northeast. They opened up a place called McDonald's Pizza. The guy who owned the place was actually named McDonald's I think, and McDonald sued him in one

how's it possible that's his name? Yeah, because because he his thought was well McDonald's applying to pizza is not I'm not trying to like rip off the name. They said, no, it's food related. Can't do it, dude, I uh, this is this is this is like stealing cable. He's like, this is like hacking somebody's But I love Kimberly. Kimberly. If you're listening to this, and I'm sure someone's gonna point taps she loves Michael, I got no problem with it.

Oh wait a minute, it gets worse. In the picture of the Elvis Durand shirt, she has a screenshot on the side of the picture with Elvis Durand's Instagram, so it looks like he's approving of it. Oh man, that is some It's close. It's close, No, because you're gonna if someone was to go to her site on Instagram, they can actually click on it and buy something and they'll get a copy. You know, you want the Oppenheimer shirt. You can buy an Oppenheimer shirt if you're a fan.

You don't trying to promote because it's got your name on. I'm not trying to promote it because I don't see a penny of it. I don't see it. We don't get from you, like the free advertising. No, I'm I'm been saying to what I'm you're asking a questions in a SCAMBOONI it's not a SCAMBOONI because people get what they pay for. People bow But she's but she's ripping off Disney. You can't use Disney Mini mouse logos without paying Disney. Hilarious. And before you say Disney makes enough money,

that's not the point. And they're not making any money right now, they're empty. Right, all right, Look, I give you points. Look the stuff looks great. I mean, she's talented. I'll give you that Brodie phone tap shirt. I gotta call I gotta call fail on this one. She's gonna make a free dessert shirt before the Brooklyn Boys design one. She's gonna get all the profits. All right, you know what, this will be a good time to shout out another person with a with a store on Instagram. Right, String

and and Loop unless that's a typo. She wrote String and the Loop, Cody listener, I've been listening to you both on The Big Show for the last ten years and would love to work with you to make custom socks for the podcast. Yes, so what does she do? She designed beautiful orange and blue socks with the Brooklyn Boys logo and the Brooklyn bridge and one sock says Brody, one socks says scary. And guess you can put it on either either side, so you get to have it

say scary brodye Brooklyn scary. Now here's the thing right left. She asked us, do you want to do this together? Right? Do you want to work together? We'll work on the profits together, the costs together, and I'll make it for you and you can sell it on your website. That is how you do it. Now that brings me to another question. Slices. You have to buy a lot of socks to make the socks. In other words, you can't make five pair of socks. You got an ordum in bulk,

so the cost goes down. We learned that when we got into the merch business three months ago. Yeah, when we wanted to buy the shirts and the masks. That's what a huge bill like, Hey, it's gonna a lot of bunny to make those shirts. And by the way, Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot dot com scary. If I go first you, oh yeah, that's Brooklyn Boys dot

Big Cartel dot com. Go there for your and it's cartel with a C A R T E. L. We have masks, we have women's tanks, and we have unisex t shirts and very happy to say the amounts are very low. So I would say get in now on these designs, especially the mask scam. The mask not a scam. Legitimately, you gotta you gotta get. Dr Fauci says, there's a second wave coming. Get that Brooklyn Boys mask. Order it now, that's right, rather than using the same cruddy mask every

single day. Do you look into side? Do you ever look inside your mask if you take it off and say, oh my god, you know what, now's the time to buy a Brooklyn Boys mask. If you have an ugly mask, or you use the thin surgeonal ones that are more disposable after one or two uses, you can use our a mask as a cover and wear it over the cheap looking mask so you have a logo and you can fancy up the ugly ones. That's like putting a different filter over on our mask every time. You never

have to wash our mask. Well, filter like an Instagram filter, not like a air filter. Right right now, Yeah, I'm saying, like a protective It's like when women try on bikinis, the bottoms in the dressing room, they have that that layer of protection. Let the surgical masks be the layer of protection between your just what's scary? And I need to know. And I'm not talking to the five of you that always tweet and always buy and like your Jenevic.

We know you guys, right, which we were talking about different people that don't always buy or did by this time because we saw a lot of shirts and felt rich felts right, rich, right, But if you don't normally interact with us, right, we want your honest opinion at David Brody had Scary Jones at the Brook and Boys on Twitter, Instagram on Twitter, really yeah, but Instagram too because some we don't have Twitter. Well, then then you have to do I'll check the d M. I'll check

the d M on Instagram. Will put up a picture of the socks. But to see if you're interested in the comment on the socks and how much would you pay for these socks? Because we have to we have to figure out how much don't want to get into that wee thing is. We have to calculate how many we'd have to order in order to even like break even. I just want to break even on this ship. Well, okay, we just want to know if you would buy Brooklyn Boys socks, especially if you've already bought a shirt or

tank top or a mask. Would you be interested in brody and scary socks? And by the way, because they're very well designed, they're beautiful. And by the way, Cody sent us a box of them, a few of them for us as samples. So shout out to Cody again not only not but not only manufacture without telling us, but giving us some free ship. So, um, well, I'm putting my name on one of the socks. So let us know if you would want Brooklyn Boys socks, and we will add it to the assortment of the next

wave of stuff. Okay, all right, Um, we have just a couple of more things to do and some emails and how I got so many grammar police real quick? And next week we'll let me tease something for next week, going on a group date with a first date exploit. Well, that's gonna take away too much time. And I'll do the alcohol thing next week. Yeah, yeah, let's save that. Okay, So two things I wanted, two little throwaways. Um, so

I was talking about the boom mic. Right, this this arm, it's got three hinges, hinge at the bottom, hinge it them in the middle, and so it goes up down up right. But you could extend it so it's almost straight if you wanted to, right, Okay, but I keep it where it's like, um, it's like an a shape. It goes up, down and up. It's like a w almost okay, so that the mic comes to my face level scary. And I haven't done a podcast in two weeks, right,

because we're on vacation last week. We released one last week, but we recorded that and held two weeks ago a right, we released it on right Tuesday, So well, actually did we did? We did during your vacation, right, we did on vacation. Right, But it's been a week and a half since we did a podcast, so I haven't really spent a lot of time in the basement, so I don't know. It could have been three days ago, four

days ago. But when I come down to the basement to my getting the most out of your porn Hub account, my god, I come down to the basement and my boom arm is extended, so it's mostly flat, right, and someone in my family is because you know, I'm sitting here by the washer and dryer, right, someone must have had a couple of items that don't go in the dryer and they were using my boom arm as a laundry clean a laundry hanger. I look a clothesline to try to try some things that are like too gentle,

too delicate for the dryer. The funk out of here. My boom arm is not your laundry clothesline ridiculous. So so f I'm not gonna say if my family members but a that idea, all right, So I gotta complain about what happened on Slack today on the morning show. Slack is the chat room that we use during the show that we can all communicate with each other because we're all in different locations. So if Scary wants to Elvis sumthing in or I want to write a joke,

we type it in the WhatsApp. But it has different features from it's a chat room, right, it's a chat okay, So I chime in from time to time. If Elvis says, oh, when's that, when's that story? What's that? When's that movie coming out? I will post a link in the chat room. Everybody could see it. So that's like, would you say, like seven of us in the chat room, right, Elvis and Nate and Scary and Froggy and Gandhi and Danielle and Sam and Garrett and me and sometimes Dianna, who's

our videographer for the show, video video person. Okay, So this morning around eight eighty seven, eight fifty, after our moment of silence from eleven, I was thinking about all the times we've done this for nineteen years. Eighteen years we've been in the studio, right and eighteen years. We all get a little teary eyed. We all look at each other. We play this emotional song, we go to commercial and we all talk. We're all kind of like, hey,

how you holding up? How are you doing? You're doing okay? We all kind of make eye contact during the song. We all kind of well up whatever. Behind the scene. Yeah, this is I get very emotional nine eleven. Every year you get very emotional. And so we're all most of us are home. Scary is in the studio by himself, and Nate's out by the phones, and Scotty's in another room. We're all mostly alone, and then there's people in the

zoom room. I am not in the zoom room until the fifteen minute morning show because there's no reason for me to be on camera. I'm just writing some stuff, you know. Whenever. So around eight fifty we play a song. It's emotional, and I put in the chat room. I really wish we were all in the studio. Miss you guys. Not what fucking person commented. Not one person wrote back, Yeah, I miss you two. Yeah, I wish you were here,

wish we were together. Nobody liked it because he's a like feature that said, shit, I saw you rite that, and I agreed in my head, I'm like, yeah, YouTube, Bartie, I feel the same way. Yeah, Well, did you write me too? Did you write I? Did you? Did you have a thumbs up? Did you like it? No? No one said ship with What were the yellow clown hand emoji? What are we gonna do something? I got nothing. So here I am. My guts are out on the couch

right and I'm I'm ready to bawl. Your nuts are out on the couch, what like like my like my inside your guts, My nuts are out of the like you know, you were using your basement for porn exactly you have that feeling in your stomach, like a pitt in your stomach. I'm like, and I'm welling up. You're

having you were all up in your fields. I'm feeling I'm I'm like remembering nine eleven when it happened I got you, and I'm like, big mood, big mood, big mood, like sad, a f big dick, energy, b right right, high key not low key, high key emotion, all of that not low key right, So you were you were feeling it right, So you said that, you said low key on the on the air today. You sounded so wrong.

You said something like I said, two guys, I said a couple were low key riding a horse to Asberry Park because they were just like they were doing a horse. They were normalizing it. It's not normal to ride a horse to Asbury Park. But low key was your attempt to sound twenty five? Yeah, they were low key riding a horse. They were riding a horse. No, but they were doing it low key. They weren't. They weren't on a race track, dirt race track, galloping with the horse,

because that would have been normal. But but but two horses or on the plural of horses. He's two, he's what he's like. And geese so two, he's so he's were a couple and elderly couple were just click click click click walking like like with the two horses, like one back of the other, and they're just walking on the sidewalk riding these horses. So they were a little key riding the horses, like trying to do it unobtrusively, just kind of as if it was something you see

every day and it wasn't. That's what. It just sounded wrong. It did not sound out of place. I used it in the right terminology, used it. You used it, but you shouldn't have used it. That's all I'm saying. Fun yourself. Where you not assigned to fucking age, gender or anything else. I don't need to hear your ship. Actually, most languages do assign words to genders. Um anyway, Um, So nobody responded and you were looking, so was it more somebody okay,

somebody to go Yeah. That't mean I'm feeling you, brodie. That's selfish because either you're in the moment for a reason and you throw it out there, or you're you're writing something to get a response and it sounds to me right now, Brodie, that you needed to get a response. No. If you said if you're if you're dating a girl right and you say to them you know what, Mary, I think I love View and they say nothing. That sucks right, Yeah, that sucks right. Okay, that's what happened.

I talked Mary, I loved her, and Mary fucking didn't even comment. She just kept going, You're not that, someone said. Then Nate wrote, go to spots. You told ELVISI had a zip recruited commercial and go to Nobody commented nothing. But we were all feeling it. We were all in our in our hearts, you know. Then like like seven post laid a, Garrett wrote I love you guys, and somebody wrote love you too. Garrett took you all so wrong, just wrong, speaking a wrong. Give me the grammar police jingle.

Oh my god, really grim pole Leema police police police, who spelled something wrong? Okay? Can we can we kill it with the A T, M machines and the then numbers we listen. I love you all. I love YouTube Brodie, but enough is enough is enough? We've been down this road before. Hey listen, if you want to tweet an incorrect then number A t M signed great, we're gonna We're gonna tweet them. We'll retweet them from the Brooklyn

Boys account. Not a problem. I love that we could point out people's mistakes, but to keep going over it on this podcast where the same different people are making the same error at nauseum and we know the culprits, we know the three things that people do in life A t M then those things, I think we should make it a point to not do them on this podcast and waste any more time because we get it already. But I will retweet pictures if you send them from

the brook to the Brooklyn Boys Twitter. Okay, so I got a couple of grammar problems. Someone sent me a picture. Um it was Oh god, I don't remember who sent it. I'm so sorry, but thank you. It's a picture of a T shirt and it's supposed to be promoting adoption versus abortion, and I'm not getting into that, but but

it's is what is what it was. It's the word abortion with the BE crossed out right and the T crossed out right, and above the B is a D and above the T is a P. So they're trying to go from abortion to adoption adoption right, and it says two letters that can save a life, and I thought, wow, that's a that's a very clever shirt. The problem is

there's an R there so it says adoption. I'll I don't want to post it because I don't want people to comment on the like I don't want to get into an abortion adoption debate because it'll it'll turn into something that it isn't. But taking it at value, shirt, somebody made the shirt, like, how clever. It's just two letters. You change the B from a board to a door and the TE from shun to right right understood, right, But but if you spell it out, which us those

two letters changed should have? They should adoption adorpian. This is on a T shirt or is this on a sign? I'm gonna send it to you right now. They should have crossed out the R not the T. So I'm gonna send it to you right now. You can see it. Scared hold on. So that's a major fail. On on. On a positive note, you know they're trying to say something. You see it coming on right now, you'll see it. Yeah, So that's your message always is always diluted by bad grammar.

Yeah right, okay. So here's another one that I got sent to me. I'm gonna pull it up here. Someone said, oh, um, they sent me this picture the front door of a restaurant that said it's for door dash. It says on the window they handwritten sign on the restaurant please call before you order. Wait, how would I order if I didn't call? That's right, please call before you order. That's not a grammar. Police think, that's just that's just that's well, that's just a big mess up. Um. I got one

more here. Who sent this to me? Oh, I'm so sorry because I got into a whole thing with them about it, and I normally do a screenshot. So I'm sorry. I apologize, but they sent me this. It's an ad for Scott Tissues, Scott toilet paper. It says Scott and I'm gonna post this one Scott Trusted since and under it is a bucket that says his, and it's got toilet paper, men's deodorant, a razor, and the other one

has female Higgenda hygiene products, female razor tampons. And so the one on the left says his, and what is the one on the right say scary hers. No, it says her. Oh my god, that's terrible. His and her hiss in her right now. It all this is Scott tissue's head. This is Scott brand toilet paper. Now. The only way that works if you go, oh, that one's his and that one is for her rights. It's not him her, it's his and herror, it's his hers. That's

a major campaign advertising. That's a lot of money spent there. Someone's going to lose their job over that, by the way, somebody should. I just got the T shirt or that with the adorption on it, and just so happened to The two letters that can save a life are D and p DP like double penetration. Oh my gosh. This is just an observation. You can't you can't fault me for pointing something out that's true. It's in there in black and white. I'm just pointing out the obvious. A

screenshot of a map from the news. They took a screenshot of the television set and it's supposed to say areas shut down and it's Rochester, New York Area active active something I can't read whatever it was, and it says areas shut down. Oh, that was on television. It's on television now. This one is ironic and a little bit sad. And I did not write the woman back as I feel like it's for a good cause. Um, but I just thought, oh, that's not right and it

and it's should be better than that. Um. Right now, a lot of teachers are going back to school, right obviously, and a lot of them have wish lists donors choose supplies, right, So a lot of teachers have been tweeting us, hey, check out my list, check out my lefe Okay, I don't want to embarrass anybody. I wouldn't mention the name, and it was it was a while ago, so I've held off on saying anything. But this is a school teacher. And what they wrote was us teachers need your help,

us teachers and their teachers. So that that's irony right there, right? Is this what you're teaching my kids that I don't have that I would never will write it should obviously obviously scary, you know, it should be we teachers. And the way to remember it is if you took out the word teachers, would the sentence still makes sense. So you say we teachers need your help, you would say we need your help. But you wouldn't say us needs your help. You would not. And that's how you, that's

how you, that's how you know that you're right or wrong. Right. You put that through a little litmus test. There our buddy James Hark Jr. Who's feeling better. God bless you James, who sent me all the baked, baked, baked, baked scoops. Uh. He sent us a sign that says, um, easy pays on everything. Might have signed in the window, Easy pays

on everything. Exclusions apply on everything doesn't supply. That's the that's the legal e's team, uh way of covering their ass, like just in case, we gotta put exclusions apply because everything you said everything right. And Samantha Joe Holmes tweeted at US today a sign from UM. I think it's the UPS store in Ohio near where she lives. It's a big sign and it says we're printing and and the I N G is in white so it stands out we're printing and it says anything you need. And

also Jake the producer from he did that. He sent the same sign, right, I didn't see that, Yeah, I saw it from him too. Now is it pring any anything you need anything? Or they or they are they saying like are they playing like ing is a noun? I think printing any I think they've been doing that on purpose and terrible ad terrible. Yeah, they're they're hoping

you get the joke. UM. I also want to send the shout out to my man, Kenny Rook, because Kenny is an auto is an auto mechanic, and any time I've asked any questions about fixing my car, he immediately chimes in and helps me, offers me advice, says, you know, he'll fix my car if I drive to where he lives. Unfortunately not near me, but Kenny's a great guy. Kenny Kenny row Ark r O W A R K on the on the Twitter. You know where else you can get some good auto advice. No, I'm not doing it's

half of my story. I'm sorry. Turn that off. It was a hold on. We're going to be on cue that time. It's my last thing. We were talking on the fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast I want to say yesterday Thursday, Yes you can go watch it, and Danielle was talking about how mom's going away for two months or whatever. Um on wherever she's going, and she's leaving the car at Danielle's house. So Danielle said, do I

need to do anything? Can the colleges sit there? So we all agreed, so I said, well, you need to start it. Everyone a couple of people said you need to start of the battery'll go dead. So then then somebody said, no, it doesn't go dead. It's fine. Wait, hold on a second, I'm gonna answer these telemarket call. Hello, Vehicle service department. We're calling about your vehicles manufacturers warrant that you have yet to extend your warranty the factory

cut off. And this is a courtesy car asshole. I have a new car, it's a year old. There's no warranty. There's nothing that's extended out of it that is not it's not expiring. Yeah, hey press one to go fund yourself. Yeah, he's not stopped it. By the way. By the way, this podcast has been going on for the last hour, so three times from three different numbers that I didn't know, call that and I'm I'm angry, I'm pissed. All right, all right, so let me in this podcast. So we

we agreed she needs to start the car. Occasionally said the batteriesn't go dead, even though some people who may have newer cars or like not that doesn't happen. It does happen, especially her car is a little older. Okay, battery is gonna die because it's still running. The clock in the car, it's still running things. You got to start the car occasionally. So then I said you have

to move the car. Yes, why you have to move it? So, I said, because if you leave a car in one spot for too long with never moving it, the botom of the tires warps. That is that is correct. They warp and they go flat. You didn't say ship on the podcast because I think it's because other people wanted them to bury themselves. And yeah, and they were like, tires don't whoop. They sometimes get flat by you know what.

That was me. That was me standing by. That was me and Michael Jackson Thriller in the fucking movie theater eating popcorn. I'm watching the Thriller video. Okay, so a couple of people start yelling at me, saying, tires don't warp, You're an idiot. They go flat, They lose aarrow. People their own graves on that one and right and so by the tire losing air. So this so so Nate says, well, Brody, you're wrong. That's just the tire going flat on the bottom.

They go flat on the bottom. So I said, well, yeah, they go flat in the botom. They're not gonna go flat on the top, right, I said, But that's not what I'm talking about. They warp. Brody're an idiot. They don't warp. So that was a smartass comment. You gotta you gotta admit that once you start throwing in like a snarky joke, like you lose it, you lose everybody. But you lose everybody, Brodie, that's what That's what you lost everybody. I already lost everybody, rather than anyone saying wow,

maybe Brodie knows something. We don't this opportunity to learn, right, they're all like brillially talking about Listen, I've been driving cars for way too long, that's right. I know, a little sudden. My mom's car was parked for three months in a parking garage outdoor Garaga parking lot. She wasn't driving. You have to crank your car, no, no, but you tried to crank your own car once, didn't you I did. Yeah, okay,

you tried to see your own sea. Okay. So um, so I know that my mother's tires got warped because I didn't move it. That's how you learn. So everyone's giving me ship. So I google an article like I made a boom. A hundred articles come up that explain what happens is the weight of the car pushes down on the tires in the same spot, and after a while it makes the tire wark. You gotta move the car. You gotta turn it on and rock it a little bit moving you no rocking when you drive back like

a what so different spots at the bottom. That's it, right, So you put the article out on the on the on the slack chat room that you're talking. Nobody says ship. He agrees that. Nobody says, oh you're right, Brody was sorry, No nothing, We'll just move on. Hey, Elvis, take a commercial break. You got a zip recruiter commercial here, right. So, so, Kenny Rowock writes, listening to the fifth tea in the podcast, I can attest that yes, tires will lose their shape.

Uh and uh. And Daniel needs to unplug the negative post on her mom's car to save the battery. Thank you. Actual mechanic who knows what he's talking about agreed with me. Right, fine, but nobody acknowledged that you were right. That's also my point. Everybody fucked me in the chat room, and we've now we've now learned that Brody is more concerned with getting a response than actually, you know and and correcting everybody else, says Tommy. Danielle said in the chat room, Well, bro

you just want to be right? So what do I say? Scared you? Remember? Well, who wants to be wrong? We gotta get out of here. I'll tell you what what you know? What's wrong? Why I never want to be wrong? Yeah, because we're from Brooklyn. Boys from Brooklyn, Brooklin Boys, brock Brooklyn
