#146: How Much For A Car Wash???

I have to. Yeah, well, legit, guys, slices. I have no idea what's going on? Don't you mentioned that I'm wearing a mask? Brodie wearing a mask to this episode, to this episode episode It's not just any mask. You know what this is, Brodie? Is it a Brooklyn Boys podcast? Mask? It is a Brooklyn Boys podcast. Mask. You always say, hey, you don't support our merch. You don't wear a T shirt like you know what? We have masks in our store at the brook at Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel

dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. And we're the second wave of this pandemic. I thought third wave with this third wave of this pandemic was gone. I figured, let me support the merch store by wearing some merch from our merch store. After all, between you and our friend Matt, who helped put it together, in the background, they're like, you gotta support the store. So here I am good, well, good, well, listen, it's gonna

go in April like a miracle. But in the meantime, get a mask, you think, So okay, gotta ask everybody. Everybody getting mask and the mask? Alright? Cool? I want to take this off now because it's getting an right, we have a mask question. Maybe you guys can help me with UM. So, I found this cup and I really like. I think it's called um bows and Ties. I think that's what it is. Masks. Yeah, I'll tell you what it is right now. I'm not it's not a client, although I'd like them to be. UM. Let

me get the name up real quick. I think it's called bows Dash n Dash ties dot com. And they sell uh bow ties and ties and pockets squares and now they sell um masks that match the tie and the pocket square and the other thing. I said, whatever, so and the bow is it a clip on tie? No? No, no, It's not about the ties scary. It's about the fact that they used to sell just ties, bow ties and pocket squares, like for your suit if you're dressing up. But now they sell masks that I like a lot, right,

that match perfectly. It's the same material I love, so like if you were going to a wedding or if you can mask, you can match your masks to your tie. Right. That's not what I'm plugging though. So these masks are adjustable. In other words, they have a little slide on them, a little rubber slide. Love the rubber slide. Here's my problem. Not bows and ties. Not bows and ties, but a New York Mets one that I bought at this point,

like four or five months ago. I went to put it on this week, and I noticed one of the little rubber slides was missing on one of the earloops I have. I have a mask with a similar problem. Okay, I don't know. I haven't googled it yet, so I'm saying it like maybe I could google it, but I just noticed it a little while ago. One of those things called and where would you get them? Rules? Like an art store, like you know, like I don't even

think they have a name. They're just a rubber like I know a guy whose company he you know, he does for a living. He works for the company that makes the plastic tips for your shoelaces, just the tips, the little plastic pieces that are right that help you go through the loops. So there must be a company that makes the rubber slightly thing ease. So I guess if I searched for mask Rubbert Newlison, you don't have to tweet me. Well you know what, you go ahead

and tweet me it. I'm first, but this is the first from now tweet me. Today's they're encouraging people to tweet you. I'm saying I could have googled it. Do you have a fever? I gotta check your temperature here for the flavor of the stick your finger in this oxygen thing. So today day is October. If you know the answer of what they're cold and ware to order extra ones, you can you can? You can tweet me

on the eighth. Is that fair? It is? But I'll tell you one thing, good luck getting one of those rubber things on when they're off, because one of them flew off the left side of my mask on my army mask. And I have to tell you, Brodie, well, you say army mask or is a camouflage, it's a it's I might as well be an army mask. No, it says the word army on it, then it's an army That's fine, right, okay, right now I do have

a camouflage one as well. But this rubber piece flew off of it, and uh, good luck getting it on getting it back on. You can't get it back on if you could, because you have to try and squeeze. You can't. You can't trying, and you're trying, like pulling the rubber over it. It's terrible and and it's so tiny. It's like trying to thread a needle. You can't you're talking about are you talking about your penis? Are we back on that again? I don't know. It's like it's

so tiny, it's hard to get the rubber on. I don't know how that's you can't get them on once once it flies off, you're done. Yes, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe you have to put a needle and pull the needle you put you put the needle on the reck of the record on when the drumbeat goes like this, right. So I So, my wife says to me last night, you know, I have three or four masks I bought that I don't like and they have those rubber things on it. She let me try

to find them. She spent an hour looking. She couldn't find them because she didn't like them so much. She put them somewhere with you wouldn't need them, like, oh, I'll put them here. I'm not gonna use them. I can't remember where you put them. So somewhere in the house I have her old masks with those rubbers, but I don't know how to get them back one. So, yes, no people know what we're talking about. They have to.

If you have a mask that's somewhat near fancy, it has that it's a dollar more like don't happen was my next comment. So you don't have that problem with your Brooken Boys mask because we don't have. But our mask is silky smooth, it's a it is a fine piece of cloth, and I'll tell you the way it's designed, you you could probably use it as a mask cover. So if you had, like, you know, the crappy disposable blue ones, you know that you like you buy a

box of a thousand. You can wear the Brooklyn Boys mask over that, so that you have another first of all, another layer of protection. But also to fancy it up, we can mask cover, double up, double up. Now everything is a song. There by the way we are we using and ninety masks and there are they so passe? Because when this thing started, everyone's trying to get their

hands on bows and ties. Wasn't making masks right? See that's that that's the point that contexts confusing people still where they say the experts that don't wear masks, well, no, they said don't wear masks because they wanted to keep them for the frontline workers that needed we had. I like, I had to know. I knew a guy who was able to get me a couple from a medical supply place so that I could wear one around my mom. I was like, I gotta have one. My mom is older.

I want to protect her, and like I can get you one. And he got me one, like in the back alley, like looking both ways, like here's one mask. It wasn't even like it wasn't even a medical grade. It was just a good, no good. I could do that. I could do heavy duty construction with this one. This is a real and ninety five with the filter and everything,

the respirator on it. I mean, but the thing is, I feel so stupid wearing it now because I'm like, everybody's got designer masks, and now I got this this one here. It looks so show I'm like, Okay, yeah, I think if you just have one on at this point, you're ahead of the game. You know, Bride your mask? Should should we address the elephant in the room real quick? And by the way, it's not the pink elephant in the room. People say that, and I go, no, it's

two different phrases. The pink lady, Yeah, the fat when you're drunk you see a pink elephant. But when you see an elephant in the room, that means like the thing that's over there that we're going, that's also the eight pound gorilla, right, same thing, same thing. Yeah, you can go for it. Come on. I just want to touch briefly on the last last episode that we did.

We did an interview, right, we did, We did our half hour, and then we tagged on an interview we had done previously a day a day or four with Anthony Roda, a brilliant comic and uh, we don't do a lot of interviews, right we. I think the last one we did was over a year ago with Joe

Gatto from Impractical Jokers. We don't we We try and bring on people and guests that we feel would fit in and we're just kind of hanging out with us kind of right now, okay again, and then I have a comment about I feel like some of the feedback we've seen is that you know, you guys don't love interviews per se, and now on this podcast, you prefer us doing what we do. Um. It's like when people text the Morning Show and they go, I don't play music. I want to hear you guys. I'll tell you what

it is. The difference is I think that it loses something over zoom over a video, a virtual interview like that, it loses its luster. See, we had the Fat Jew in the studio with us. We had Jackie the joke Man in the studio with it. It was more like lighthearted. Yeah, we had Michael Michael Rappaport, right. And I'm not saying that, uh the interview wasn't good because because I think it was. But it is a departure from the normal everyday episode with us. But but we you know, we thought it

was a good way to expose him to us. Yes, and us too. Yeah, So, which is important. By the way, we have to we have to navigate outside of our little bubble, especially during the old pandemic. We're trying to get our name out there as much we want to be. So he was like a little let's expose ourselves to his audience. So so I felt like maybe because he wasn't in the room with us having that like uh, you know, that camaraderie, maybe it loses a little bit.

But he was. He was still excellent, and maybe we're just bad interviewers. The other thing is, um if if you guys hear us make a joke or make a comment I don't know, five or six times over the course of five or six episodes, like an a side or oh we're not bitching about anything. It's part of humor, is repetition and callbacks. Sometimes we say something as an inside joke, like you know, blah blah blah, you know the egg and you're like the egg thing. Yeah, from

five weeks ago. Yeah, the king of that was David Letterman. When he's doing his night show. He used to have these running jokes and these callbacks. He was the king of the callback. Or he would say something earlier in the episode and then you know, his monologue, and later he's interviewing somebody and he calls back, I mean there are That is the technique, right, don't take it as us complaining about something. We may just be saying it because it's funny to bring it back in reference. Entire

was founded on the complaint. Are you kidding me? Well, yeah, that's just it. Oh speaking of which, Oh my god, I want to make I want to get her name because I screenshot at it. And if I don't have it, I'm in a field. Is it screenshot it or is it screenshot? I think it's it's I screenshot it. Screenshot. You said shot it like you in your underwear, Like, well, you know what, because I used while the case of

to you, I would say I shot it. I took a screenshot, right, But I since I did the act of screenshotting on my phone, right, I used the technology of taking a screenshot. I believe saying I screen shot at it would be okay. If if I if I use the clip function and problem. Hold on, hold on, if I clip something right, let's use clip to clip video. If I've used it, then I've clipped it, right. Would you say photo shopped? Okay? But if you shot somebody, would you say you shot at them? No? No, no, no,

but that no because shot shot is a verb. Screen screenshot is an action. It is a verb, but it's also a thing like it's a you. You you took a screenshot, therefore you you you can. I think you can do a past tense. I have a photo you photo shop a picture, but then you could say that picture has been photo shopped. Well, I have a combined grammar police free ship for us moment right, let me

just let me just finish this one thought though. So we got a listener, and I'm so sorry that I don't have it handy because I didn't think I was gonna mention it this episode. But she said, I just want to let you know I love I listened to the fifteen minute morning show every day, and I'm going back to old episodes because I love your rants. So I said, um, uh, wait a minute, you mean the Brooklyn Boys podcast, because that's where I do my rants. And she said no, you you You rant sometimes in

a fifty minute morning show, and I love it. I've never heard the Brooklyn Boys podcast, so I said, oh, wh whoa, whoa, whoa, Wait a minute. If you like rants, you should be listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast. It's the home of the rant, the home of the right. I mean, yeah, I guess technically, yeah, So she uh, she was gonna start this week sosh, hey, thank you come to Yes you like the rent on the special today? Yes,

so I did. I did want to say, so next week I'll read her name and give you guys an update. And she likes the podcast. So what were you? What were you gonna say? I was gonna say, speaking of grammar police, I have a grammar police and a free ship for us rolled up in one police. How am I going to do this? Police Police? I somehow have to get to the other jingle because it's also appreciate for us. I don't have you know this fourty three thousand dollar piece of equipment is uh, oh my goodness,

it's going crazy. It's not that technologically, And then I have to go back to the free ship for us jingle. Wait a minute, you spent three point seven million dollars and you can't play good by one at a time. US shout out free ship for us to Gina. Hey, guys, I found these at a hotel gift shop and immediately thought free ship for you, your biggest fan in Utah, Gina. And what they are is two boxes of Grammar Police pencils.

These are pencils four Grammar Police. Yes, they have I guess eight number two pencils in each one their standard pencils, and each one of them has a a misspelling on it, like you lost me at you're beautiful and your spelled the wrong way. Uh, and then the next pencil has the correction uh, you know a star you apostrophe are e y o U r e. And then they're going to their to their house. Okay, question mark that's on another pencil, but it's it's all the uses of their

silently correcting your grammar on another one. Punctuation saves lives to serve and correct on another pencil Oxford Comma until I die, and then the official Grammar Police Prince pencil. So she gave us, she brought us two boxes of pencils. Thank you. They just came to the radio station today. If you have some free ship for us, feel free to send it to the Brooklyn Boys podcast, let's say,

and care of Scary Jones for the time being. So it gets to me because I'm at the y yep, that would be Z one Radio New uh thirty two sixth Avenue, New York City, one O O one three. You have to write new York, New York, New York, New York. And by the way you put radio there, I think that's like if I'm if I think someone would like go oh radio, thank you. That was That's about Gina. That was very unexpected and very cool of you.

I also have some free ship for you, Brodie. Okay, now you still have your box of ship is now accruing me. I know I also have a grammar police thing. So let's get back to that, fay so very quickly. Um. Earlier this week, our friends at Pat La Frida, which is a local meat purveyor in the New York Northeast. Um, they sent me a box of beef because I'm helping the judge. The Burger Bash tomorrow is part of a charity event called the New York City Wine and Food Festival,

but it's a virtual event this year. That's a whole other story. Um, I'll be eating burgers. That's what I do best. I was very excited for this. Um and and so Pat La Frida is the sponsor of that, and he sent me these iron asked Pat La frieda burgers with Heinz Ketchup, a bottle of Heinz Ketchup, and and these Martin's potato rolls. If you don't know we're talking about, it's the yellow ones and they're very potato rolls. The wonderful. Anyway, Brodie, I got the same box by

the way you got it. Of course, I'm just gonna give you him a ketchup and some of my burgers. I was gonna shake the I no, no, I got the What did you get? No? No, I thought you're talking about something else. I'm sorry, but did you or did you not get a free basket of beef? No? I didn't get a free basket of beef? Did you get a free box of beef? Fro Pat la Frida? I was gonna do. I'm not. I was joking. You're you're in the meat contest. I'm not in the meat contest.

You're not lying to me. Right to get double beef. No, I was no, I was just joking like so you would wouldn't think it was special that you got it. But you're in the okay. I was gonna you're trying to get double beef there, No, I was gonna share my beef with Brody. That's very nice. I'm gonna actually give you probably. So I live in an appartment. Burgers, did you get eight? And I and I gotta say, I'm gonna give you six of the eight because I tried to make two last night in my apartment and

it did not go well. I don't have a barbecue grill. I have nothing. I don't have an outdoors. I have a balcony and I can't put it outside. And burgers don't come come out well in a pan. So yeah, you need a grill pan, like with the bumps in it. I have that to try to put that the oven. I fucking set off the smoke alarm in my apartment. Oh you do it on the stove top with the you do you have overhead hood? Terrible? Yes, I do, but it doesn't work as well. So let's put this way.

I have an I have an outdoor grill, which on my deck, which overlooks my pool. So I got a free box of beef. I'm gonna give you the because I can't use burgers here and then and then I'm gonna give you the unopened bottle of Heinz ketchup because I know you're a Hinz fan. Not so much. I go for the kind of the lower sugar ones these days, and so that's coming your way. They have a low sugar hindes, they have a natural hid uh, simply lines. I want to simply want to give these to you,

along with the Martin's potato rolls. I only used one and it was for a picture, So I don't eat bread. By the way, speaking of hot but you know, all right, speaking of heines, you know the mayo chup we talked about about the chop and the and the tard. Yeah, yeah, that's hard right right, it's not what they call it. But yeah, so your wife you used to wear mayotards and dance class. Yeah okay, my my wife was my kids, Yes,

my wife didn't. Okay, anyway, so I don't I don't buy the old um Mayo mayo chup because it's really fattening, right, like it's it's high in calories. If somebody has it, I'll put some on, but I don't want the whole jar in my house. It's dangerous. I haven't looked at the fat content. Is it pretty bad? So it's bad? Well yeah, so it's a hundred and sixty calories per serving, right, which is so I'll get to that in a minute

what that means. So I met Target about a month ago, and i want to get the mayo chup, but I'm like, no, I'm not gonna do it. And then next to the cranch and the and all of the combo cranch, it's um, it's ranch dressing and catchup scranch. Okay, we we covered this already. I never know. I don't think we covered cranch. Which makes me think of if you watch a Practical Jokers, our friends they have uh that their tour was cranches MC basketball and it was from an episode a few

years ago. If you if you know, if you know, you know anyway, So next to it is like a whole it's all hot sauces and other like condiments, right, and they had this one it was a Chippotle mayo. I think no, it's a Chippotle spread something like that. And I looked at the back of it a month ago, maybe a month and a half ago, and it said eighty calories per serving. So I'm god, that's half as as fattening as the the mayo chup. So I'll get that. So I got it, brought it home. It's fantastic. It's

absolutely fantastic. It's spicy, it's it's orange pink. It's delicious. It goes on steak burgers, any meat. What is it? It's what it's a Chipotle spread, Chipotle something sounds like it's from the Southwest. It looks like a little mustard bottle Target. It's like a short, fat, little little plastic bottle with a plastic rap is the label and it's I think orange lettering and Chipotle and the label it's black.

You'll find it. It's it's there. Anyway, can squirt some into your scoops because I still have those from two months ago. You're still sitting I've had this bag of tostito scoops for you, all right, Right, Well, I have the case. I have the case in my bas have the baked ones. I'm not even like a fifth, I'm not even a tenth into the body junk out of my apartment. Alright, Okay, when I saiggest boys masks yet,

can I say something? So? Uh? You and I were thinking about going to see Anthony Roda at a comedy show last Sunday night, like five days ago, and it's it's at um. He was playing a restaurant, a restaurant, restaurant, A restaurant, No I did. I didn't say restaurant, I said restaurant. He's so he was playing a place that was not, I don't know, fifteen minutes from my house, not not that far. And so I said, scary, you should come. You're like, oh, it's too far. Well, it was.

It was an opportune time. Let's face it. It was a Sunday night and I can't do Sunday night. And you're like, it's forty five minutes. I gotta drive. You and I don't live that close to each other, right, I mean geographically, in the grand scheme of things, it's not like you're in a different state. We are, like, you know, along the same highway, but you are about forty minutes away. There are people listening to this podcast right now ripping their hair out because they drive no

less than an hour and they still call it close by. Yeah, I know, because you listen, we don't. We don't live like the grocery stores two hours away. I get that, alright, shout out in Montana. But when you have to forty minutes by the way, if you have traffic, it's an hour and a half. Right. It's a major thoroughfare to get from my house to Skiy's house, and there's always the possibility traffic and the draw bridge, yeah, and the drawbridge where it goes from three lanes to two lanes

always backed up. Idiots, you know what They design roads in some areas of the country when it was like horse and buggies or when only some people had cars. So there are two lane roads when they need four lane roads now and there's nothing they can do about it, trying to correct some of them. So there's an area from scariest house to my house, which when I when I go to work, roads in the country, the oldest

roads in the country. Okay, But so it's a main highway that connects the New Jersey Turnpike to the road I have to get on. Okay. The problem is it's a four lane road that becomes a three lane road that then has an on ramp that makes it a four lane road again into a two lane a three lane bridge where the right lane is exit only, and so you gone from four three lanes to four lanes to two eat immediately, and it's always like a bottleneck, always,

every time of day. And so my thought process was, rather than having it come off the turnpike at three lanes and having an on ramp, make it two lanes because the cars will move. The only problem is the traffic in the squeeze in the funnel, So eliminate the funnel because that the road from the turnpike to the bridge does not need to have three lanes. Have you ever seen all three lanes occupied? Scary? Never never, it's like open space, no one's around you, social distancing, there's

no need for a third lane. And then the on ramp lane could easily become a lane that goes into the two lanes rather than making its own third lane right before a bridge that doesn't allow you to have a third lane. It's the dumbest system, yet nobody is smart enough to get rid of the extra lane. You could have been the architect for this ship. High city planning could have been the foreman. So all of that, I have not come and picked up my stuff at

your house. That's why come to my house. Okay, we got a lot to cover and we got more coming up right after that. Scary. What's rule number one of correcting people? Be right? That's correct. So I'm not going to mention the person's name, and I'm sure they're a wonderful person, and I'm sure they're a listener of the podcast. So I just want to say it happens to the best of us. So I'm not excuse me, I'm not

uh saying anything bad about you. I'm just saying, you know, if you're gonna correct, you gotta make sure you're right. We get a lot of examples of that, right. So I got a tweet from someone who obviously knows that I like that I am good at hearing things that are wrong on the radio and pointing them out, which is totally fine. Did they try to correct you, not me? Not me? So uh, the person said, I don't usually say I don't know, I'm gonna just read raise it.

So it's you know, I don't normally comment on things like this, but it annoys me every time I hear it. Danielle on our show, Danielle does a commercial for vix don't correct me in the middle, Scary for vix Vapor rub v A P O R. But she says vix Vapo rub without the R. Do you hear it? Some of you, some of you, like Scary already know the problem. The problem is it is vix Vapo rub. Yes, it is. It's the name, by the way, that is the name

of the product. That is how it's vix Vapo rub. Now, when you attach rub to the end of vapo in a sentence, it sounds like you're saying Vicks vapor rub. It does it does? So if you've only heard people say it, you might think it's vapor. I get that's that's I don't fault you for it. But does that mean you've never seen the product on the product? I've seen a TV commercial because I would think you would have seen its vapo. But it reminded me of Reese's Pieces.

People say Reese's pieces, But have you never owned a bag like a border bag and looked at the label. It clearly doesn't say pieces. So I feel like you get you you get a sound in your head. You know, well what you think, what you think is right, right, I think right? Like um, Robert Mueller from so from FBI director, he was part of the Mueller investigation right with the president. He spells his name m U E L L e R. Now some people might pronounce that Mueller,

but it's more. But there are people on television on the news who keep calling him Robert Mueller. But nobody calls him that, right, his Mueller. But you're you're mentally seeing his name in your so so okay, So back to the VAPO rub So my point is, right, Pete, first are trying to correct Yeah, yeah, but and they're like mean while they're the ones that are wrong, you're wrong, right.

So again it's a it's okay to make a mistake. Yeah, I'm just just a reminder if you're going to go out and correct someone, double check your work first and then and then go ahead. I love how people are starting to send audio clips and video clips of their grammar police moments. Grady Rogers wrote to us, Howdy, gentlemen, thought i'd share a clip from one of my college professors who has a pH d. Unfortunately, since our classes

are recorded, I wasn't there to correct her. Is it out of place to call out a professor for that? And this is what Grady sent. So we're not really calculating a BIN number even tho. If you know about fin numbers, there is kind of underlying coding that remembers to like the car manufacturer in the year, and information about when the car was made. But numbers are calculated. And I believe this is an automotive class. It looks

like it because the video is of the screens. See what I would do now, is I would leave a note. I would get to class early and leave a note on her desk. Would it be anonymous or you'd be like, hey, it was me. No, I would leave a note saying, hey, just you know, I just want to let you know it's VIN. Now, speaking of which, I am buying a car this week or I'm leasing a new car. How interesting because we also have somebody record something a person talking about car and a car parts and a scam body.

All right, go ahead. So um, I've been dealing with one one dealership and the guy keeps saying to me, send me the VIN number of your car, and I, oh, you want my VIN? He goes, yeah, send me the VN number, like I'm trying to drop the hint and he's not getting it. So that's part one of my VN number story. The other is I called my insurance company, my car insurance company, because when you buy a new car, you want to know what you're gonna pay, right, So

I call him. I call up the company. Right, it's Geico. I don't mind telling you it's Geico, and I had given them so I wanted to buy either level level let's say, level three of the car I want and level four of you guys know I drive a Dodge Charger, right, so the level above the one I can actually afford. It's called a scat pack, and it's got a bigger engine, right, even bigger than the engine I have. It's a porn fetish,

that's right. Yeah, But for some reason, the more expensive car lease is better, has a better lease rate than the less expensive car. So I'm like, go, well, maybe I'll least the more expensive car because the lease is actually less expensive. So but let me call my insurance company and see what they're going to charge me for the car with the bigger engine, because if their rates are much higher, I can't afford the car. So I say to the woman, listen, I have a I currently

have a Dodge charger that my lease is up. I have to give it back. I'm buying. I'm leasing one of two chargers. So can you please tell me if I give you the VIN of the first one and I use it to replace the current arge charger, what the rate of that car will be? Right? So, I don't know what I paid for because I have three cars in my family. What's the rate of my current charger? And what would the rate be of the two other ones? Okay? Great? Perfect? Give me the number of the first one of the

first VIN number? Okay. So I give it to her, and I said, okay, what's the rate? Perfect? Okay? Perfect? Uh? And she and so and I could tell she, you know what, it sounded like. It sounded like she was from somewhere else in the world. And she was trying to learn American collocualisms. Uh. And you know, so like like good, like when we would go great, good, okay, very good, she's saying perfect okay. One time I would have been like, oh, that's annoying. It was about seventeen times.

So she says, I said, well, what's the number on the first car, okay it would be. And she says the number it's like, um, eight ten dollars a month something like that. And I said, for a car, it's nine tho dollars a year. What So she says, no, no, no, that includes roadside assistance and uh warranty coverage for up to six years on all three of your cars. And I said, I didn't ask you for that. I asked you to tell me what this car would cost on its own as compared to my old car, so I

could see what my rate difference would be. Oh perfect, okay, okay, right. So she comes back with the number and I said, great, and I have the other car. Okay, great, perfect, give me the vin number of the second car. I go, okay, it's a ven, I said, it's a vein. Okay, all right, Vin, yes, Per couldn't help yourself. I couldn't. I couldn't. So she's okay, oh yeah ven, right, yes, perfect, And so she does the number for me and it's a much higher number, scary,

much higher number. She and so it would be you know, seven, had said, And I said, what just yes, right there, and that's so by So, by the way, what I what I skipped? I started telling you. She the first price she gave me was for adding on roadside assistance and a bumper to bumper warranty for like three or five years. She didn't ask me, she just quoted me the price. So I said, why is it? So I just, oh, that's what I go. Did I ask you for for

roadside assistance and bumping a bumper warranty? I asked you just to tell me how much the car is? All right? Perfect? Yes, okay? So she gives me the second number, and I said, that's not perfect. That's way too expensive. That's crazy number. The word perfect. She's just saying it because it's right. She's like, oh, well, that's because it's There must be something different about that car. I said, it's a bigger engine. Oh yes, yes, perfect, a bigger engine. Like, no, it's

not perfect. It's too expensive. So I said, well, I you know I I So, I said, So, here's what I don't understand about insurance companies. I said, why is And I go back to the same car I have, right, the right, the same model I have of Dodge Charger, and I said, why is it seventy dollars more? A month. Well, this car is new, sir, and your old car is three years old. I said, I understand that, But when I bought it in seen, it was new, right, so I'm paying the new price. You didn't lower it when

it became three years old, right, that's the scam. If I brought a se to them now, I would get a lower rate. But they're they're charging me the new car price. So I said, yes, but I'm paying the new car price. Feen. It's the same car. Why is it seventy dollars more a month for? And she says because it's absolutely So she says, well, you know, prices go up in three years, I said, but they don't go down, I said, and seventy dollars for the same car. Scary?

You know me bought the same car time, at least the same exact car, same call, the same options. Right, you must be in bed, So I said, look, just can I help you anything else? I said, No, I'm good. That was all I needed. Okay, perfect, I go. You know there is one more thing you can help me with? Yes? What I said, could you please stop saying perfect? And then I hung up. I couldn't take it. I wish I had the audio. If I could call her back and get the audio, I would. I was killing myself

that I wasn't recording the car. What do the odds you get her back on the phone again? Probably a million of a million of slim the nun I want to tell you, perfect, it's perfect. My girlfriend called me yesterday and I don't know what to do with this story. But she says, dumper, dumper right now. Yeah, She's like, I cannot believe that I got hit on in a mask like what she was wearing. She was wearing shoes stand outside her apartment. And was she wearing a bikini

with the mask she was wearing? No, she had her jacket on. It was the middle of a fall. Here, Hello, what is October six? Whatever? Last night? Whatever? She's by the way, By the way, you know, this was an S and L sketch this past weekend, right, Um, whether it was or not, it happened to her, a real life story. But people like yelling at their podcast it was yes they did did, Yes, they did do a bit. They did do a bit. But um, yeah, oh my god,

it actually is coincidental. So she said, this kid rolled up on her probably in his mid twenties. He I guess he was on a scooter or something. Don't you dare plug your scooter company. Not gonna take this about your scooter company. They're in the past. Now I'm looking for a new one. If anyone knows if they scooted out of here. Uh they So she says, hey, listen, um no, no, he says, give me let me get your number. Let me get your number. By the way, when you say he rolled up, was he like rolling

on twenties? Like like he rolled rolled up her? Because hey, he goes, you know you're fine, You're fine, You're fine. You I'm not gonna do any accents. And then she goes, okay, she he was you have a boyfriend? Uh yes, I did light Yes, she says, yes I do. She goes, We'll just give me your number anyway, give me your number. So she's like, I'm sorry, I can't do that. But she had a mask on. So who hits on people with a mask? Now I know this does play into

the SNL sketch that air that aired. It was about you know, not seeing the lower half. Okay, but let me let me let me your face explain your girlfriend, your girlfriend is tall, statuesque. She has a bikini body regardless of what she was wearing. She dresses very very well. She has very long black hair. She has gorgeous Italian Mediterranean type eye. You fantasizing about her right here in this pod. No, it's not my type. I don't like

the Mediterranean look. Um, no offense to anybody who's Mediterranean. You're all very attractive. I was just saying, that's a scary. Wouldn't think that I'm into his girlfriend? Um? No, your girlfriend is very pretty. Robin is very proudy, right, but how do you tell just from the eyes, I mean, pretty mask on what is covered on her face? Her nose, in her mouth, on her cheeks, right, yeah, like the

rest are yeah, three quarters of her face? Okay, but how often have you found a girl attractive looking at something other than her bottom half of her face? I just feel like you need the entire You need the entire package. You've never seen a girl walking down the street from behind in totality, you need the entire Yeah, she might have teeth missing and a mustache. You just was You just gave me the perfect example. Yeah, someone from the back, Oh look at that and then they

all of a sudden, he could be butterface. Yeah, but she's got butterface or summer teeth. Like some are here, some are there, some are missing. But I I have found usually the butterfaces don't. They don't the outfit they wear and and everything else. Sometimes if it's really well put together, it's because they're well put together and they're not a butter Some people say are saying, right now, what is butterface and hot body? But face? But face?

It but her face, butterface face or butterface. It's not butter but that's not it's not butter it's everything. But it's not smooth. But I think everybody does with butter faces. They do not ever know, not everybody, dude, that's a that's the term from like way back. But that's okay. The point is like, who would even do that? Who would hit on someone with a mask on? I still think you need the entire package there, you need to see everything, the entire They don't want to see her.

If she has an entire package, I don't want to know. I'm not dating her. Then she's got a um I I you know what I think in the pandemic, you you adapt to what you find attractive. Yeah, right, Like if you if she had like bugged out googly eyes, I think you would never shot. How do people how, actually, let's take this a step further. How are people who are single getting themselves out there when they're seeing other

people in public these days? Do they wear their mask as a chin diaper and say, oh, look, here's my entire face as I'm sitting here, do you mask down? And I don't know, you go poolside with the DJs with no mask on. Regardless of what you're telling me, it's safe, it's an okay. But hypothetically speaking in a masked up society, how are people they have to be doing? Like are they kind of like doing a little like I'm gonna give you a little peek here, I'm gonna

pull it down like you're pulling down. I don't know that they do sell clear ones. They sell face guards down your thong, Hey, take a look at what's underneath for a second. They give it us a peekaboo action and then back a story that came out. I want to pull up the store. It was in New York two days ago. So let me find the from the seventh maybe here this let me pull up on my computer. Um, speaking of how people are doing things these days, where

is the story? I mean, when you're sitting down at a table eating with your friends, you're not wearing a mask. No one's wearing masks. I can tell you that because well, I'm the king of going out to eat and that's what I've observed. So no one's wearing masks. So I guess that's the way to approach people now, like give people the eye from afar. I mean, but people that are like, let's say you're commuting and you have a mask on. What are you doing? How are you how

are you communicating? How are you showing someone your entire you know? I think that's pretty ballsy of a guy to just roll up on someone. I'll use the word roll up again and say, hey, roll up and just assume. I mean, she's playing the odds. I don't know. I guess he figures she's alone for that minute, maybe she's alone, or maybe she's you know, but but he's assume she's hot again. Scary, I described I already explained how your girlfriend's hot, but I don't how but not so not

only does she have a boyfriend. Right your girlfriend has a boyfriend, but who's hooking up with randos in a pandemic right where you don't know if they've got the D or not. A lot of people, a lot of people are taking that risks. I'm not doing that. Well, that's well, people have sex without condoms. You don't know what you know, They could have much worse than the bid. There are people listening to us in Florida right now. They are like, what the fund are you guys talking about?

Every everything's open. In fact, they're allowing people in the stadiums again. They opened up the entire state for live events and everything and a indoor and outdoor dining. They're ready to roll in Florida that they're ready to roll right onto a gurney right into a house. Hey here, you have a lot of listeners in Florida right now, and I pray for them. But the thing is, it's what I'm my point. My larger point was this entire concept is far and and to other people that are

living out west. If you're listening in the middle of the country right now, again, you might be like, what the funk are these guys talking about? They make it sound like, uh, you know, oh my god, berdie, what is up with that? Mike? Did they make these guys are sitting here talking like everyone's messed up? Well guess what where we are? Everyone's on fucking patrol. If you don't have one on the tell you to put one on.

So yeah, so yeah, And in fact, I was at Target and guy had uncovered his nose and and somebody yelled, hey, cover your damn nose, chin diaper. Uh. There's a there's a club in New York. Um it's uh, let's see, it's called Labyrinth Club and it's a swingers club. So I don't know how this is legal. I don't. I don't know the rules in New York or whatever. But you go there and they have like you know, you leave your keys at the door kind of thing. Um,

couples pay like forty bucks. I'm reading this article. I've never been, nor would I and um, single people, single guys pay eighty and women getting for free up until a certain time. So it's like a regular bar, like you know, girls women getting for free, and they have play rooms and nudity and you you can they they must have sex rooms, right, And I guess it's legal if you don't charge for sex. Right, you're not charging for sex, but you go there knowing you're going to

hook up with people for free in a private room. Right. So um, they reopened this week and they this is what they said in their press release. Well, they don't advertise their address. You have to know where it is. It's on Park Avenue South, but it's in like it's in a house, like it's in a um an apartment building.

Their secret knock yeah with my dick from behind. So it says customers and everyone must attest in writing that you're not exhibiting any COVID nineteen symptoms before entering the facility. And by the facility they mean women. I guess. Uh. They said they have bathrooms and showers on every floor and tons of play space. They're operating at capacity, and they said they'll be hand sanitizers, masks and gloves available

for anyone who needs them. By the way, it doesn't say condoms, which I still think is a problem, but it says for the as far as the pandemic. So you imagine like, oh, um, if you're sleeping with somebody who's not your wife or your husband or whatever, and you have a mask on, right, so you could be like, oh, honey, I thought it was you. Sorry. Yeah. Um it says come come prance around in nothing or less come spelled the regular way anyway. Wednesday was anything Goes night, Tonight

is big O night. They have theme nights, Let's go and a Friday is scandalous debauchery night. And Saturday is swinging kink Saturday. Well, where are you reading this out of the article? Who was in the New York Post? It was either in the New York Post or am am New York, one of the websites that I look for for. Well, if you want to be in cognito, I guess you wear a mask. It's great. Who's by the way, who's cognito and is hot? Hio hio. So yeah, So my point is people are hooking up even though

there's a pandemic. Yeah, wait to get in the world stops. Well, people still have raging hormones. It's happening. Listen. I'm not hooking up in my own house and nobody here has it, So that's your problem. I'm like, how about tonight not pandemic, but we don't have it. You got the old pandemic excuse Yeah, pandemic. That is that is a P word you don't want to hear. That's like I have a headache. That's like I have a headache. Pandemic. Sorry that you

can't do it. Um. Other things in the news this week. I wanted to comment real quick. UM. One of my favorite musicians in the world. UM. One of the greatest guitar players who will ever play guitar, A man who revolutionized the way you play the electric guitar. Eddie van Halen passed away. Now. Eddie died of throat cancer. I'm I'm I'm not here to preach, am, I here to tell you what you should and shouldn't do. UM. But Edny smoked cigarettes like a fiend for most of his

life and he ended up with throat cancer. That's what happens, right. However, when somebody dies, everybody posts pictures of people you know on Instagram, like, hey, r, I p sorry for this guy. You know, he was my guy. So I went out of my way to find pictures of Eddie van Halen where he's not smoking. But a lot of people put up pictures of Eddie van Halen with a cigarette and his guitar. A cigarette in his mouth. Some of the most famous shots of Eddie van Halen, unfortunately, are of

him smoking. Right, But I don't you feel like like if you, if you if a celebrity got shot, would you post a picture of them holding a gun or somebody pointing a gun at them, like it is a scene from a movie where he got shot. No, because he got shot. Yeah, Like I feel like, maybe don't post a picture him smoking, that's all. If we've learned nothing else from Eddie van Halen passing away at the young old age from from mouth cancer and throat cancer,

maybe don't. Maybe don't post cigarette pictures. You know. He suspected for the longest time that it was because he held his guitar pick. He had sealed the metal guitar pick. He held it in between between his lips those years. But that's what he said, Well, yeah, okay, well speculated that. I don't think there's a warning on the side of picks anyway. Just to add to the story, smoking isn't the healthiest thing. People don't do it anyway. My that

was I just wanted this event a little bit. I just felt like, you know, like it was I don't remember what comedian it was, and I'm not I'm not getting into religion, but you know, they said, well, what if Jesus would have come back? Right? He comes back to earth again and he sees everybody's wearing a symbol of what killed him, right like when hey, hey, are you I don't you know? Right? Yeah, that's right. I get white people wear the cross is to simplify his sacrifice.

I signify a sacrifice. I get it. So there was an interesting aside, that's that's an old it's an old thing. Will be uh right back after No, no, don't tell me not to go go go to commercials. The button, hit the button? Jesus Christ? Were we just talked about him? Are we not on? Are we on the same page? Were now on the same page? Turn the page? You are impossible today. You just roll with the punches. Just go go go, we just go do you know me?

Everything rolls off my back? Everything come on? Please? Uh. I got so much to talk about and so many things that I wanted to hit. I have so many screenshots of things I wanted to mention. Um, can we talk about the simple human Scamboni, simple human? The people that make the garbage pails? Yeah. We talked about this about four episodes. We talked about me getting a simple human garbage cans from my father. They are the greatest garbage cans ever made. All right, So here's my problem.

I resisted buying a simple human not a sponsor. I resisted buying a simple human garbage pail for years. We had a plast rubber made garbage pail in our kitchen forever because it was the only one that fit. And so I finally broke down, finally and got a simple human garbage pail. You well up to the club, Brody. I don't know if I mentioned this before that I got it, but I got one of about a month

of exciting. Didn't you change your life? No, it's a very nice garbage pail, okay, and the one I got it it has a has a step on it so it opens the top. That's cheap and so that No it's not. You know you bought the automated one. Yeah, you woke up to you drone over it and it opens up. Now you walk you walk up to it and it fucking opens its lid. It's opens its mouth like It's so much better than stepping on the thing as you walk up to it and yeah, because I

want to be touchless. We're in COVID, man, I want to be want people something at this point, people touching my ship. I want. I want to be able to walk up to the garbage and it opens its mouth and said, I am ready to receive you. In case you're wondering which one of us is the bougee one. Excuse you haven't listened in these in these crazy times, your father a boogeive garbage pail that he didn't want anyway, I got the pail because my wife wanted a nicer

garbage pail. Finally, and I said, you know what, let's get the simple human one. Now, simple human, if you go to bed Beth and Beyond, that's like one of the main places to get up. They summon target. It's the same garbage pail you'd pay twenty dollars for. It's like a hundred dollars minimum. It's chrome, It's okay. So I got the one that's I don't know, it's expensive. So but we have the bed Beeth and Beyond like annual thing where you get twenty percent off everything. So off,

I'm like, I gonna get the pail whatever. So they sell bags with letters on them, like the ND bag, the S bang. Here we spoke at least. Yes, there's a reason I'm bringing this up. I'm reminding you I'm a jay guy. Shout out to the sound of your peeps. And so the pail I got are the end bags, right, the end bags. So I was like, I'm not buying

the end bags because they're really expensive. They're like thirty forty cents a bag, whereas if you buy the big hefty bag box at Costco, they're like three four five cents a bag. Do you strike me as more of a d bag kind of guy, Oh, you're funny, You're funny. That was good. That was good. Okay, So that now that was good. I gotta get it. Props to you.

So for the past i don't know, month and a half, two months whatever it's been that we have this thing, we've been using the basic hefty tall kitchen garbage bags. Now when you put them in they fit fine, right, So I've been getting cocky like, fuck, damn, simple human, I'm not paying for your expensive bags. That the the the Hefty bag works great. I'm loving it. Okay, Now when you put the bag on, there's a ring under the lid like, so the lid is goes up and

so does the ring. This thick metal band that goes around the oval shaped garbage pail lowers down and locks the bag in place. Yes, that's what you get for the hundred dollars. Do whatever you Your bag never moved. It's that's the theory. The problem is when you put enough in the bag, right, because the simple human garbage pail, I think it's like at leader, maybe a fifty leader.

It's deep, it goes down pretty fall right, right, So when you start putting stuff in it that's heavy, or you fill it even though the bag is only three quote is full, the weight of the bag drops it out of the rim that's holding it. Not mine, not mine, Okay, So I like it just because I don't like throwing out half empty bags or three quart is full bags. I like to do the foot stomp. Will you put your foot in the garbage and you squish everything down

because it's mostly paper towels. But if you do that, you're surely gonna rip the bag off the fucking rim. Well, it falls in, So then I put it back on the on the ledge and I lock it down at the rim and inevitably it will fall again. And then my wife yells at me stop stopping the garbage. The bag falls and you gotta take the garbage out now, Okay, so this has been going on now for a for

a couple of months. Well, when you buy the garbage pail, you know, like the crack dealer who gives you the free drugs at the at the school yard to get you hooked. Hey, kid, you want some pills, and then when you get hooked on them, now you gotta pay an alminal leg form. But they give you the free taste they call it. They give you the free taste, right, they did that in our old neighborhoody used to give

it a free taste. So, by the way, I've never done drugs, so I was gonna point that out case like what Brodie said, he didn't do drugs, I don't. I knew people. So they give you a bag of like what is it when you get when whatever it is, it's it's the starter pack where it's the pack that comes with it, and that's the right you get in bags or whatever this is. So I didn't open those.

I was like you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna use the glad, the free hefty bags, you know, cheap ones, and I'll sell because it's you'll sell the expensive ones because fuck it, I'm not gonna use them. Podcast started. I thought that you had a fever, you were sick, But now you're coming down to David Brody level. He's taking the cheap play out. Yeah, he's the problem. What's the problem. So today's Thursday. On on Monday, my wife says to me, you know the bags, it was

Tuesday night. It was Tuesday because Wednesday we take the garbage out. Well leave it on Tuesday night and they come pick it up on Wednesday. And she says, you know what, the bag fell in again you stomped it, but the bag wasn't full. I'm sick of this, you know, in that loving way that she says it. And so she's just can we just try the bags that come with it? Can we try the bags? Now I knew this was a slippery slope. I said, well, I said, listen, if we use the bags and we like them, we

aft worse. You are, Yes, you're ft because you gotta pay the premium price for them. Hey, guess what the ones that were ent for the bag for the garbage to begin with. You don't take shortcuts on so I. So I said, all right, I take the simple human bag out of the pouch, which I can no longer sell at full price because I've used the bag. The bag comes out, it's deeper, it's thicker. It's like it's crunchy, thick like. It's not like a like a plastic bag.

It's a heavyweight gauge. It's deeper like the garbage pail. I I put it in the pail on Tuesday afternoon maybe, and then late last night I took the garbage out. It was full. I had stomped the garbage down three times. And by the way, we don't use that much garbage. Maybe I'm a day off, Baby's Monday or whatever day it was garbage. You have to stomp the gar You don't let let the ship falls where it fall where it may, and then you hold on. Then you wrap

it up into a nice bow and you take it out. Hey, guess what. You keep garbage in there too long, it starts to stink. Okay, smells up your whole. We're not throwing dead fish in the garbage. It's paper goods. It's like empty containers. It's normal garbage. You don't keep stomping stomping. It's been double stomped. This thing is loaded. It's heavy as ship. Of course, it's no I pulled the simple human garbage bag out. It comes out beautifully. It never

fell in. And by the way the bags they're printed, they say simple human on them they do and the letter yeah they do. Hold on. I felt like I wanted the garbage men not to see the bag for them thinking I was boogie. Now I have a problem, scary because the bags I want to I want to read to you the price of the bags. We had this conversation with my father on the phone on the sixty pack of bags. Yes, okay, that's what indulge roughly forty cents, forty cents ago, blurge, hold on, blurge on

the bag. The twenty pack, the that's like cents a bag. Now if I want to get the jumbo side, the one that I have, right, But how much is it per bag? Brody? Do the math you mathly it's thirty thirty something cents a bag. You're a math let off. I can get a correct but that's still Nope. At some point, at some point, that is going to be less than the hefty, hefty cinch shack are glad or these heavy duty brand name bags that you're trying to

buy which don't fit the rim properly? Any cents a bag, Brody? If I buy, if I buy the huge in bulk, come on, man, treat yourself. It's a fucking garbage bag man. Just so, that's my problem, that we're made for this, that I like them, okay, and I've got I've fallen into the crack dealer, Scamboni. It's not it doesn't it feel good, Brodie? Doesn't it feel good to be part

of it? No? No, I want to sell the bags and I can't now because my wife saw how good they are, and I have to buy them, I said, I said to I, go, there's seventy seven dollars, there's sixty two dollars with our discount for two forty. Maybe we should get let's just know, and buying bulk, you get the two forties. She says, you know who did

the same thing and fell into the same trap. You know, fell into the same trap parody My fucking parents, remember how my father was screaming at me on this podcast, Big Show Fantasy. I'm gonna use the I'm gonna use the the costco imitation once. Guess what. He came back to me three days later, just like you, Brodie, and I was like, oh my god, I'm obsessed with this garbage pail and myself and the end the bags that that are made for them, because guess what, they're made

for them. They're made for them. I'm telling you, Brodie, just it's okay. Indulged in it. It's it's just simple, you know, you know, it's a semi human. They really should be a sponsor on this podcast. We get way too much though, But it is. What I'm saying is it's a simple indulgence. It's all it is. It's just a treat. I don't like it. It's garbage, scarbage so much, all right, I know it's garbage. All Right, It's gonna be okay, Brodie. You're paying twenty six cents a fucking bag.

I think you'll be all right. I think you'll be all right. You haven't you have a fucking ground pool. I think you'll be okay for the pool. It came at the house. Don't make it like I spent money on a on a pool. Anyone who has a pool? What about what you're what? You're rich? What you're rich? You're right here, you're rich. By the way, what I told my wife, I said, because she's like, oh, well, we should close the pool because my pool still open.

It's October eight. It's still open because it's heated. Again. I didn't put the heater in. If you do, if if you have an in ground pool, I said, I feel like I'm rich. I'm in the pool. I'm not rich. We talked about this on the Big Show about sign and I said, if you haven't, what makes you feel rich? Okay, here's what makes me feel rich. If I if I

roll up there's that word again. If I roll up to a house and I have to enter, and I have to enter a gate code, and then gates open up right, and your gates around your property, you're okay, right, you're rich? Right, Okay. Now, if I if you can park more than six cars on your driveway, if you have to have a circular, if you have a more than one car garage, you're rich. No, yes, everything is relative. Everything's relative. Because I have a two car garage. And

I am not rich. But to someone who can't afford to two car garage, I understand that it seems like a goal. I'm not rich if you don't. Okay, let me ask this. I bought a house a long long time ago and I'm still not even close to paying for it. But it's not expensive. It just takes a lot. If you pay fifteen dollars for eggs in a restaurant for brunch, are you rich? Well, your bougie. The reason why I bring that up is because I'm a little but hurt. I was out for brunch last week and

I was, where did you put the eggs? I was in Staten Island, Staten Island, by the way, which and not the rich part of Staten Island either. I was on the perimeter and we were at this place and we were had a great brunch, and I happened to like flash the menu on my instant story and somebody must have put their thumb and held their thumb on the screen so they could see the whole menu, and

their d m to me, waste dollars for eggs. But what I wanted to tell them and you, Brody, was that, yes, you pay fifteen dollars for eggs when it's the entire experience. First of all, again, we're in COVID. They have to hire a staff, they have to keep the lights on. You're in a decent place. You're out and outside in a path eo, with all this wonderful greenery around you. You're you're not paying. You're not paying fifteen dollars for eggs. You're paying for to pay the weight staff, and the

bus boys and girls, and and the cook. You're paying for the manager. You're paying for everything. You're paying for the entire experience. And to me, the answer to that person was yes, fifteen dollars for eggs on a Sunday is okay. You know, listen, I know people can. People are yelling at me right now. What are you fucking kidding me? I go to Denny's I paid for and I get that, and I do that too, but in this specific case, okay, I'm not trying to be boogie.

You know. I hate when people I hate when people know, but I hate when people say fifteen or if they put any price and say you paid that for this. It's not just the item. You can't just strip it down to the item and try and do the math like you're trying to do with garbage bags. You have to consider the entire experience around that and the fact that you're paying for the entire the entire thing. You're paying for a day out, I'm paying for a morning

I'm paying I'm sitting there eating on their property. Whatever the you know, I don't know. Yeah, I should say, is this worths? Is this is this non dropped in bags. It's the fact that I'm not getting average aggravation right now that I don't have this one less thing for me to worry about in my day. Is that worth the twenty cents? Is that worth the price of admission?

I think the answer will be yes. And I think that if we can draw these parallels in life, you pay a little more extra, a little extra, excuse me for just a little for something that that may not seem worth it when it's stripped down to just that thing. That's all I'm saying. So what you're saying is the bags for simple human are perfect. Yeah, that's callback. By the way, that was like that was a callback. See yeah, but but the egg comment, it was reminded of that

because I'm like, yeah, yeah, I paid fifty. But it's not just me paying. It's not me saying, you know what. It's not like I walked down the aisle of a grocery store and I said, I need these dozen eggs right here, fucking fifteen dollars for two, I'm gonna pay. You know, you know what I'm saying. You don't. You don't think I don't, but me, I don't think I can enjoy the eggs. Really, it's really gonna ruin your mood. A nice morning out of money for eggs. It's seventy

three degrees out, it's a Sunday afternoon. You you didn't have to cook, Your wife didn't have to cook. You're you're you're sitting across from her, you're enjoying a wonderful meal. You're really gonna you're really gonna complain about fifteen dollars for for that experience. I don't really asking me. Have you just met me, I wouldn't complain. I just think you know you wouldn't do it. You wouldn't be there.

My wife likes to make fun of me. My wife likes to make fun of me because I get a price in my head and that's what I feel like I should pay. Right, So like when the when the sinklogs, In my mind, a guy come into the house unclogged my sink, right, or my let's say this, like we had to pay a guy to come because my kids put a straw down the sink and it wouldn't come out. You couldn't plunge it, you couldn't snake it, couldn't get

the straw out. In my mind, the guy's gonna come, he's gonna take eight minutes to set up and power snake it and get it out. Which so you're calculating this entire day. I go, yeah, I go, you know what, getting a straw out, it's probably like, at the most forty bucks. In my mind, like eight minutes of work driving to my house, how much would I charge? I go forty bucks. But when the guy says, when the guy says ninety or a hundred and ten, in my mind,

I go, that's much more than forty. So my wife says, you got to imagine it's two hundreds. So what he says ninety, You're like, all right, it's easy for you to say, though, Bertie. When the shoes on the other foot you wouldn't do it for forty bucks. I would because Saturday morning and show up at someone it wasn't a Saturday morning. My wife always says, you think everything should cost fifty bucks. I go, yeah, uh yeah, it

depends on what it is. But I feel like in a in a in a because I I like to deal in reality, I mean my reality, like real world. You go, what's it take? Now? I know the plumber is highly skilled, he's trained. I can't live without him. I get it. But in a grand scheme of things, he's working eight minutes and you extract extrapolate that, you go,

that's like seventh of an hour. I'm trying to get into the mind of Brody and this is really striking a chord now because I'm starting to understand your logic. I'm trying to understand your logic, your logic, the way you think, what your mind works. I don't agree with

it at all, but at least I'm acknowledging that. Okay, maybe I because I I to me, that is something that nobody should be thinking about, like like who can like it's irrelevant, Like okay, to me, it's like the price is the price, and pay it or you go for a search for a lower price, and I don't like rip things apart by the minute, by the second.

How much? Never question you never you never question how much something like Okay, for instance, the there was a car wash near my house used to charge fourteen dollars, right, yeah, for a car wash that didn't include the wheelbright you know the stuff they get you on the carriage, on the carriage, particular your carriage. So this is a car wash closed down and moved to a better location where I have to assume the rent is higher, right if they moved there. But they moved there so they would

get more business. Right. They moved there because they want more accessed. It's a it's a really good location they have now, so they're they're they're busier, right. They built this thing with two car lanes, so two cars can go in at the same time. They've got two tunnels, super wash with neon lights. It's like a freaking disco. Right.

But now they're charging like twenty two dollars for a car wash because a variable has changed several You said yourself, they moved to a place with higher rent, So do you expected to take a hit on the profits the product didn't get any better. It's still the same fucking water and soap. The reason they're paying more rent on's scary. They're paying more rent. They're paying more rent to put it over cars to come through location. You're telling me I have to pay for their rent? Now? Why am

I paying their rent? They hear what you're saying. Do you hear what you're saying? You are You are being irrational right now? Take it. Take it from the business owner standpoint. You they were in al I didn't understand the business. Hold on, wait a second, hold on, let me let me play Devil's advocate for a second. You know, you're paying fourteen dollars for a car wash and the rent and my car gets the rent was x. So they moved to a location so they can better their business,

get more trafficking people in there. And hold on and wait, no, but they want to do more business, so their rent goes up. Hold on, their rent goes up by a by why so they have to charge you X plus why? And they're not making any more profit. They're not gouging your eyes out and say and and doing you know, a disservice. They're they're just being proportional. Not otherwise, why would I move my fucking business. I'll just leave you here. I just told I just told you you weren't listening.

Scary at fourteen dollars, they would shooting water on your car and some soap and the labor involved to work there. Let's say, let's say to be reasonable, right, they were making eight dollars a car on the fourteen All right, right, okay, now you move now you Now it costs them instead of costing them, uh, six dollars to wash my car. Yeah, it's costing them nine dollars to wash them. Are they still making eight dollars? Hold on? Hold on, so now

they're making a little bit less per car at fourteen dollars. No, no, hold on, I'm speaking like I'm on the debate. Excuse me, I'm speaking. Will you shut up? Man, You're a clown. Come on, come on, man, come on man. So, by the way, speaking of the debates, last night was the fly on Mike Pence's head Vice President Pence's head, And so my joke was pretty fly on a white guy, hio, right, which I wanted to record, but we wouldn't play in so I didn't bother con no, no, no, no, so um.

About an hour after the debates, Uh, Joe Biden added to the merch store fly swatters, which I just thought was a brilliant marketing move. Regardless of who you're voting for. That's just a funny thing. That's just funny. Okay. So my point is, if you're only making let's say six dollars profit per are instead of eight because the rent went up, you're making that up in more cars coming through.

So instead of a hundred times six, a hundred times eight, which is eight hundred, you're doing two hundred times six, which is twelve on. But but now you've gotta hire more personnel and more employees to take care of double the cars. Absolutely, no, No, you gotta buy more towels, you gotta. You got your spending more money on your water. But then your the cost of doing business and not

getting a better product. It's all proportional, my friend. If the rent is going up just because they're they're allowing more cars into it doesn't mean that they're making more profit, but there because their costs are going up. To dude, it all goes up proportionally. They're not scary, they're not tell you brunch, your bunch place, your your bunch place. You paid fifteen dollars eggs. Right, Let's say they decide to move to a place that's on a corner, that's

that's got a little bigger parking lot. Right, but you go there now in the eggs at twenty two dollars. You're telling me you're not gonna go what the funk the eggs? No, you're gonna sit there and go, Well, you know, the parking lots bigger. So I guess i'll pay you know what I'm you know what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna I'm gonna do one of two things. No, No, Either I can't afford to eat here now, so I don't go there. I go somewhere else where the eggs

are fifteen? Or what you didn't do with your car wash? Mind? You you have to just don't go. I drove right away, so come out. So either I would go to a different place, or I would sit down at the egg place now that that was formerly fifteen, and I would take it to consideration. All it costs the cost of operating, the operating expenses and everything for them to be there. I I don't think for a second that they're trying to increase the profit on me by what they're making.

As long as everything is proportional, I'm okay with it because I'm being dropped into a different neighborhood. You know where are we on Rodeo Drive? Now? Family Hills? I mean you expect it, you know you, you know Potter. Owning a business is you have to factor in your costs. You want to pet. Look, if you want to go,

I'll be scared. Let me say this. You're gonna want from you if you want to go from fourteen dollars right, you want to go to sixteen fifty because I don't have to wait as long in line now because you have to you have two tunnels. I'll give you a couple extra. But but if I'm losing three dollars profit on you my new placed, no, don't move. No, I want to be moved. They moved because they can now have twice as many cars, But they're trying to get twas many cars and and and make four times as

much profit. Now, I'm gonna buy your case of d bags for your fucking garbage pail. That's fine. I'm done. I am too. I gotta go. I gotta go to by the Way. Tweet us is it is it wrong for them to almost to charge that much more for the car wash? Tweet us at David Brodie had scary job and don't forget to go to Brooklyn Boys dot Big cartail dot com.
