#147: A SIGN Half Your Neighbors Hate You

was never for real. A little bit annoyed, annoyed, your butt hurt sometimes think you go too far. Come on, now, we had a good week with the Elvis t Rand Morning Show. We I mean we we got to plug the podcast several times. Yeah, and you did a good job this time. You didn't like see you like what I did there? Yeah, you didn't slip in the merch thing. But you're getting there. Well, come on, man, that's cartu

it is. It's so hard to just we've a conversation towards your merchant or here here's how do you do it? How do you do it? Bro Let me explain how you do it? First of all, Uh, you go to Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's what the Brooklyn Boys merchandise. Right, that's what people are supposed to do. Yes, but how do you weave it onto the big show? On? Hold on, that's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com.

You know a lot of times it comes naturally. Obviously it's gonna sound awkward if out of nowhere you just say dot com. Yeah, right, you have to work it in, like you know, speaking of speaking of the podcast, we not have merchandise for the Brooklyn Boys podcast and the fans, which you can get at Brooklyn Boys dot, Big carteligtel dot com. Right, yeah, right, that would be great to say on the air, But how do you but Elvis would do just flag me for that. He'd be like, dude,

what are you trying to do here? This is my show. I understand that. But Elvis is supportive of us. And when we first told him we had merchandise, he said, that's great, let's sell some merchant. And then he said, what is it? Right? But here's how it works out in my head. He says, scary, what are you going on? You say, I have a we have a great podcast. We have a new episode. In fact, you can buy our merchandise and support the team at Brooklyn com And then he would say, I'm sorry, that's a lot a

lot to talk about. Uh, you should say it again slower, in which case you would say Brooklyn Boys, bigel you know, right, and he'd said that's better. But we should probably send out a link on your social media and at Elvis drand show. So I think we'll do that. Yeah, good luck getting get good luck getting that done. Speaking of which, I would like everyone listening to please tweet at Scary

Jones a s k e er Y Jones. Right, Um, we're gonna talk about lawn signs in a little while and how how they may or may not affect anyone's opinion. But Scary has a similar opinion about tweeting and posting and putting up instant stories to promote the fact we have a new episode. So I would like you to tell him that, unlike lawng sides of political Uh hold

on a second, You're you're being biased right now. You're like you're like a You're like a politician trying to invoke his opinion on the public, whether or not him sending out social media is helpful to you as a reminder or an alert to let you know, hey, we have a new episode. Counterpoint, Yes, people who listen to this podcast and are die hard fans know that at the end of the week there's an episode coming. They don't need me or you to go and post an

Instagram story with a swipe up and link. I just believe that it gets tired and boring after a while. You know what would actually be um a good reason to do that if we had some video footage of that week's episode. Hint, hint, mm hmm. You see what I'm saying, Because then you get fresh content. Because because Instagram is a visual media, it's for pictures and video.

So if I just post a lazy orange graphic of the Brooklyn Boys podcast and a swipe up link, I honestly think that it works against us to some people that are watching my feed. I do think that the people that are listening are already listening there, or they're or they're subscribed to the podcast and or or there. They just know they they just feel it when another episode is being released. You don't need constant reminders. You're talking to the wrong audience right now, Here's why I disagree.

Nobody's audience of any television show, band, um, anything that you would be a fan of sports team. They every every sports team has the super fans who go to every game, watch every game, paint their faces whatever. Our is the slicest, the slicest. But but everyone's just slice But you know, like if you go to a Mets game, there are people who took their kids there for the first time. It's a client meeting, and they don't really care.

You go to a hockey game and basketball game, and there's the people who sit down front from the corporate seats. They're they're not the crazy fan, but there they are. Right, we know this. People listen to podcast who aren't crazy demented fans. They listen casually. But we're treading on the same because it's it's always get the alert from excuse me, Mr Vice President, I'm speaking. I'm speaking your followers, my followers.

There are sometimes people who need a reminder. They don't sometimes, you know, scary, sometimes I Heart Radio doesn't send that the reminder on Monday. They sometimes don't tell people. Well, so there are sometimes people go oh this, oh I forgot those a new episode and then we'll move on because this is already boring. I just want to say this your followers, my followers, and followers to our feeds. He's like running in circles and going around the same track.

People know it already, and it's a different audience that we need to capture. Right. It's like if Elvis was to tweet out our Lincoln, say hey, the Brooklyn Boys have a new episode. Now we're talking, how many followers do you have on Instagram? That is more? Then we have slices at the moment, right, but not everyone is going to so therefore the people that don't already listen might see that and say, you know what, he posts

this every week. I want to find time this week to try it out because sometimes people go, you know. You know many times people will tweet me and say, I just started listening to the podcast. I didn't know you guys had a podcast? Do I not know? And I go, you didn't know because we don't talk about it enough on the Elvistrad Morning show, and because Scary

doesn't send it out to his undred. In fact, if I was to send one out today for this episode and people clicked on it the first seven minutes are going to be this and is this really? And and I would you I would have shut this off four minutes ago if this is what I got. So honestly, people like when we debate this was this is not a good debate. This is real. It is a real hardcore. Now back to why you were but hurt. But that

wasn't real. We weren't really offended, were you. And for people who don't know to bring you up to speed, no, I don't no, no, to bring up speed three times this week. It took a poop on me. So the first time I addressed it with you last week, and I like to address the third time because that's that sends you very fun with third time on the air today.

Let me explain this, okay, let's explain what happened. Brodie is is giving two dollars of a of a thirty dollar free money phone tap to the big prize for the for the listeners two dollars investment, so I'm getting equal billing. So Elvis is trying to say, hey, Brodie, could you pony up some more? And Brodie, he says, why don't you give twelve dollars and we'll make it the forty dollar phone tap. How great would that be? And Brodie on the air live says, I gotta go

ask my wife for twelve dollars. I then come back and say, hey, while you're digging in your wife's purse, Brodie, why don't you grab your balls while you're at it? Right? Meaning your wife has your balls in her purse, she holds your balls because obviously you're a man child that you need to ask for permission for twelve dollars from your wife. So what was that all about? And I had every right to do that joke? And someone said I crossed the line by saying it. Yes, yes, somebody

tweeted it and and texted it. Why don't you get your balls back? Brodie? Okay, so, uh it's not. Um well, it's just so here's here's the problem. If it was a hundred dollars, okay, maybe it should be a husband and wife discussion address I will address. First of all, it's a funny line, okay, But here's the problem with the line if I'm analyzing it as a person who actually is married. Number One, you don't know my finances, right,

You don't know anyone's finances. You assume the ten dollars is not a big deal, okay, and and in the grand scheme of things, it isn't. However, when you're in a marriage, when you're in a partnership, you do have conversations with people like, Hey, I'm going to spend our money that's in our bank account to the center down to the penny. Really not down to the pennies. It's ten dollars, not down to not down to the penny. But I was perpetrating the image that I'm frugal on

the radio. Okay, I was going for the joke, right, and then I came back right. But that but again, when it's the third time in a week that you've gone at me, gone out, the listeners are wondering whether or not there's some truth buried underneath the attack mode. Let's exhibit David Brodie, you're the biggest jokester around your comedian. I didn't stay. I was offended by the balls comment.

I said, you have You've developed a pattern, right, Once is a thing, twice is coincidence, and three as a pattern. Since it's the third time this week you have verbally attacked me, people are starting to wonder what's going on. So there's nothing going on. We have, nothing's changed, we were still we're still scary and Brodie Brodie and scary

that nothing has changed since episode one. Now, I wanted to talk about political lawn signs because I think we both agree with when people put political lawn signs out there, that people in their minds think that they're swaying people into thinking how they do and maybe they'll pull them onto their side of the fence. But we both know

that people's minds are made up. There's very little that's going to swing you know, the move the needle, okay, and and certainly your political lawn sign is not doing it. So we feel as a deeper meaning there. Well, if you put up a political lawn sign, again, depending on your neighborhood, and see, in most neighborhoods where it's mixed opinion, half the people are gonna be like, yeah, I like that person, and half the people are gonna hate you.

You're running that risk now if you live in a place that is so one sided, right, everyone in town likes that guy, right, whatever side you're on. The oh woman, right, I'm all right. I was talking politics this year, but I'm talking about local politicians, who whoever, whoever you like. But it's more it's more polarizing when it's a bigger thing. But okay, whatever it is. If it's a if it's a tough race, right, half the people are gonna hate

you and no one's going to change their mind. But if everyone in your town, that's why I'm saying, if if go presidential, it's more likely to be the whole town, right, If the whole town is like person one, then it's like, yeah, I'm on the team, don't egg my house. Let's do this, Yes, let's t s. Then you're the guy a woman who puts up the opinion. Yeah, you're looking. You're looking for trouble. You're looking to some kind of should. We're not saying

you should. And it's ballsy to be like, hey, you know what I believe in candidate too, you're looking for people to vandalize your your property in some way. I just don't think. I don't think that putting out a long sign in in any you know, and for anyone is a good idea. I don't think. I don't think. I don't think. I really don't think. Because again, people's minds are made up you're not. You're not trying to

like advertise for that candidate. You're not. You're not doing anything by that other than causing half the people to fucking hate you. That's all. You know what, Here's what I've realized though this year. I do think it causes people to vote for the other person. And I'll tell you why. Really. Yeah, let's say you you are a fan of candidate too, but your whole street has signs for candidate one. Maybe you were thinking, I'm not gonna vote because it's gonna be it's gonna be too close,

or my vote is not gonna count. Whatever, you might go, Hey, I better vote for candidate too, because more people are voting for one than I thought. I thought two was a shoeing. But now look at all these lawn signs, right, I may have to go vote now. Or in my case, one of my neighbors who I do not like, shocker, put up lawn signs for candidate green black and white

sign person. Right, So I see these the sign for the person with the green, black and white signs, and I said to myself, well, if this idiot is voting for that person, I have to now find out who was running against them, even if I didn't care, and I'm gonna vote because it was for a town thing. It wasn't for a big you know, no one's gonna

change my mind on the big ones. But this was like, because this is one of those categories scary, I don't you don't really vote when you vote to admit that you need to because again, continue if you if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. That's a rush lyric because if you don't vote, then whoever wins is who you voted for. Okay, anyway, So sometimes when you vote for a town position, it'll say choose three of the six names because there's three people

on the on the committee. So you're like, oh god, how am I gonna pick three people that I like or don't like? So I made sure not to vote for the person that the people I don't like voted for. So in that sense, the sign hurt them. Right, Okay, that's all. But but but but now he has nothing. When you live in a town like I do. See in Brooklyn, nobody gives a funk, Nobody bothers you, and you live in an apartment building like I did, there's no place to put a sign. You don't have a lawn,

there's no place to put a sign. But now, because my kids are in school and and aftershow activities, one of the moms came up to us this year right when she was dropping their kid off at my house and had a trunk load of signs, and so she says, Hey, as you know, I'm running for blah blah blah blah blah blah of the town, can I just put a sign on your lawn? Uh? You know? Yeah? And so what do you do? Scary? What what would you have done? Oh?

My god, that's that's that's a big ask. And it's not like she this woman's your friend, she's the mom of your kids. Yeah, yeah, there's there. Yeah, you're socially connected, but you're not, like, I don't know a platform. Who would make such an awkward ask someone who wants to win or someone who thinks they're signed because you listen. The whole purpose of campaign ads is not so much

the content of the ad necessarily. It's so that when you go into the polling booth, the name is familiar, like like like when you advertise yogurt and you go, oh, okay, now, scary you vote for people would have valid into their name because you like to vote for Italians. I have done that when I didn't know who the fun was running. I'm like, if you if you're a mobster or you know a philanderer, or just what it does. I'm not

saying all the time, people, I'm saying, doesn't matter. As long as you had a valid into your name, you got whatever. You know, I will say no, So I so we want to say I never got back to the story. So we put the sign on the lawn, and then you're like, how long do you keep it up? So we have to figure out is there anything anyway? Is there? As I asked my my kid, I said, is there any reason why this woman's kids coming to our house in the next week? Is there like homework

thing or do you have a get together? No? So I let the sign go up for a day, figuring they would come back the next day to just double check. So I had it up for two days and then that's that sign went like, you come out, you can do that. Here's where here's where I'll give you a pass. If both candidates are kind of unknown and you just want to create awareness, like Hey, this person exists like

in a local race. But if you're talking about a national race where where everybody knows both candidates, there's no need for a sign. Maybe let me just modify my answer, because if I'm living a little if I live in a town and someone's running for like a mayor or congress person or whatever, or some some seat that nobody even knew was in existence, then maybe then maybe you for familiarity, you put something out there, but no one who's polarizing and known by everybody in the community. Maybe

it doesn't make any sense. You would think that, but you watch the news and now it's it's what areway in the middle of October, there are still people on the news saying, yeah, I'm on decide who I'm voting for, right, But but a loan sign is not gonna change anyone's mind. Well, I don't know. Here's my thoughts. It's only I don't want to I don't want to offend any slices, so

I'm gonna be careful here. But if it's mid October and the election is November three, right, and you are talking about two candidates that are polar opposites, Well, I don't care what you believe in, but there are polar opposites Hot and gold right, if you have if you don't have an opinion at this point, if you don't know, no, hear me out, if you don't know where you're going.

Is it possible that if you see all your neighbors have a law and sign for hot, that you vote for hot, Or if all your neighbors have called, you vote for cold because you're thinking, well, they must know what's best for me, So I'm in. Is that the only possibility where the signs matter. The signs will only matter in like a local race where people are unfamiliar

with both candidates. Like if let's say Stu stupid Asso is running okay for something, Okay, stupid Asso, and he's got a law and you don't know who that is, and then maybe he's running against the que piece of ship, yeah, Hue, piece of ship, or or Clint clint Torres, Clint Torres Clintres right, and and so it's hard to find Clintaures right.

So I may be like, you know what, I I know that Stu stands for good things, So I'm gonna put a stupid Asso sign in my on my lawn, right, she understand, But that's where it makes sense to put it because other people don't know who that is, so you wanna you know, and and no one, no one. Back to your theory. If I see the sign of the stupid assho, am I gonna suddenly gona you know the scary Jones? Who that guy? I don't even know that guy in that green house whatever he likes, stupid asshole.

So I'm gonna give up my god given, my god, my American vote, my my, my, my constitutional right and vote for that guy because he put a sign on his law. Or maybe you like the way that I manicure my property, and like, you know what, that guy in that house. I bet you he's got good taste in politicians because he's got great tasting flowers. That sign is blue and the opponent has a purple sign. I don't like to call a purpose, So I'm gonna vote

for the guy with the blue sign. I don't know, all right, I got I've got a great email regarding last week's episode. This actually came into my d M. Someone slid into my d M N Danielle Marie d Marie seven one seven, and she sent the picture to go with it. Hey, Brodie and scary. Scary and Brody. She puts us both. Danielle here from Long Island, big fan of the Big Show and now Big Slice. Last episode, you were talking about your girlfriend Robin getting hit on

with a mask. Well, I had a similar experience. I was in the kitchen section of t J Max alone with a mask on and big sunglasses. I always tucked my mask under my glasses so it doesn't slide and and so my glasses don't fog, so literally none of my face was showing. I'm thirty years old, but I'm often told I look I look much little younger, five, one small frame, Italian, long dark hair. Anyway, a guy approached me in his mid forties and he said, hey,

your hair is so beautiful. Now my ends are fried and I'm in desperate need of a haircut, so I know my hair is not really looking beautiful. Turned around, said thank you, but like a dismissive way thank you. He continued to ask me what nationality well I am or where I'm from? All then he's then he's told me that he is Greek and Italian and did twenty three in me and speaks whatever languages. Anyway, the guy keeps going. He doesn't take no for an answer. I'm

just paraphrasing now, um. And he then says I would love to continue with this conversation. UM, can I have your number? I said no, thank you. He then pulled down his mask and said the following words. See, I'm non threatening. I got such ted Bundy vibes. The only time you say you're non threatening is if you are in fact threatening. He asked if I have a boyfriend or if I'm married. I just responded with yeah. So then he pointed to my finger and asked where my

ring was. I said no, thank you, and I walked off anyway. This woman power walked away rand up the stairs, hid behind the shoe rack, called her boyfriend, who was waiting outside for her in the car, and when he um. Then finally the boyfriend came in the guy he left anyway. She says she found it very weird that this dude would hit on me a mask and sunglasses and then pulled it down to show me his face. I was

so creeped out. Men, please leave us alone, let us shop if if we show we're not interested in the first time, take the fucking hint. Love you guys, Grammar is important Danielle from Long Island. And then she sent I wish you we saw each other right now on zoom Brodie. Uh, you cannot tell what this woman looks like. She's got big gas sunglasses. You just see her forehead

and her hair pretty much. She sent me the picture. Also, he's with giant glass, giant class, enormous classes, almost like the ones that they hand out at a Sweet sixteen on the dance floor or New Year's even with the year. And you know when the djis out the plastic glasses the sunglasses for the whatever song it is that they're playing, that's the kind of spunglasses she had on. Well, maybe the guy is is a is a bar mitzvah DJ and he's turned on by it. He's like, oh, this

woman knows my deal. But how crazy is that that she? I guess this is going on more than we think. Are people shooting their shot with mask? I mean, it's just such a random this there's a pandemic going on. I don't know if you heard. Maybe you see a woman who seems to be physically fit, rights like the layers of right, and you see this, her faces covered,

her eyes are covering. You're thinking, well, she's precautious, she's probably healthy if I'm gonna go after anybody gonna to her as opposed to like for me, if I see a hot woman at at the supermarket with and again laws laws aside. Just for the sake of argument, Let's say she's in the parking lot and she's not wearing a mask, right, or gloves or any kind of protective equipment, and she's just walking around with her friend, also not

wearing anything. I would be less likely to go up to them, figuring they got a shot of getting the ROHNA. So I don't want to make out with that girl. But if I see a girl with a mask and goggles or giant glasses and she's all covered up, that's thinking that's hot. There is a sanitary woman. She's protecting herself from the RHNA, right right, Like if if you saw a guy with a condom on his dick, you might go, there's a guy who believes in safe sex.

I'm gonna hit him up. Thanks to the face mask, you can tell who's being safe and again, not trying to you don't know what you get. That's like you're spinning the wheel like the SNL, like the SNL sketch from weeks ago. I want to show me your face. I want to see the bottom half of your face. Right. You don't know if she has any teeth or not. But again, if she has no teeth, bonus right, And I would say that it doesn't take women listening right now, ladies,

you know guys don't need a reason. Guys are looking for an excuse to hit on you. And so I used to you know, it doesn't matter. You could be giving birth and used to stand on a corner and and proposition just straight up would say no. But there's always that one that would go home with him, right, Swear to god. Guy used to work with back on my old job. When I worked with a guy guy his no joke. His name was Anthony, and he would do the same thing, playing the odds. We worked at

a restaurant together. He would hit on almost every customer, every person, every everywhere we went. We went out to a dinner with the guys. You have to work, he would hit on the waitress and we go, dude, you're hit on. Everybody goes sooner or later, it'll work in fact, was it a story we did on the air. I don't. I don't remember who it was. It was someone we knew.

It's sometimes you know, the lines blur between reality. And he said, if you stand on a corner and you and you proposition women like hey baby, we'll go back to my place, or hey you wanna have sex, you stand there long enough, somebody is going to say yes. Eventually, whether it's one in a hundred, one in five hundred, someone's gonna go, h Okay, there, Brodie, I think we Brodie, Oh my god, do you hear that? That's so relaxing. Wow, silent on our podcast. I love it. Enjoy the silence.

We'll be right back. Brodie still not back yet. I don't know where he went. Maybe he had a power outage at the house. I'm kinda I'm kind of concerned, all right. In the meantime, let me read another email, because Brodie'll be back in a second. Uh, Brian, I'm sorry you. Why do you hate me? We already took a commercial break, because a commercial break, so now it looks like it took me two minutes to come back with a retort. But I was gonna say, if you

don't like what I'm saying. Put your fingers in your ears, hio hio. Can I talk about well, well, yeah, go ahead, and then we have some sound to play. But I saw a couple of weeks ago, I told you about the teacher who UM tweeted and tweeted and tweeted and tweeted at us to donate to our donors choose dot org. Yes, and her grammar was terrible. Okay, okay, So this this teacher again, UH started tweeting again asking for UM something electronic and expensive for our students. And again I get

that they need it. I get it, okay, And so I went to the donors Choose page and UM, I had my wife with her maiden name, donate some money, okay, to help the kids get this electronic device. I was like, you know what, I don't know who to choose. I got a hundred of these things a day, but let's let's give a little to this to this person. Okay. UM got another tweet over the weekend, thanks everyone for the electronic device for the kids. Please donate now. The

electronic devices need a case. Oh my god, I want to get it. I want to get like a cover for it. I mean I think you should just where does it end? No, you just cut it right there and then you got your You got what you needed. You got the main thing. So then another that's another teacher, was hitting me up with a video. Hey, check out this video, right, and it was a celebrity video and sent it to me six times almost every day, send

them twice a day for a few days. Now. If you look at their Twitter feed, they're sending it to every single person imaginable. Al Roker, Uh, you know, Rael, Rachel ray Right, every celebrity and I'm not a celebrity, but everyone on our show, every DJ on the planet, everybody has tweeted individually. So they're copying and pasting this video over and overname. Oh. They tried to make it look like you were the only one, right, So it's like, hey, at David Brody, check out this and you look and

it's like, hey, Rachel ray Right. Yeah. By the way, those get deleted right away. I bypass all those because to me, you don't know who I am, you don't care, don't follow you, and they're just like, okay, they're not real fans. I I I said to this person, I said, hey, person, politely, Um, I watched the video. It's very cool, but you've sent it to me six times in the past three days. Um, you know I saw it. I watched it right now. The first three times. The first three times, the link

was set to private. You couldn't even watch the YouTube video because it was set to private, So all those tweets they sent out were wasted. So I let them know it was private, as did a lot of other people, and they unprivated it. So then I said you, hey, listen, it's a great cause I wish you the best of luck. Right, but um, you've sent this to me six or seven times now, uh and uh, so you don't need to

send it to me. I'm good now. I was trying to say, if you're gonna send not the people a day, not sending it to me will save you a minute. Like I'm good. Plus like dude, I got it, like I got it right. Like if if I didn't donate the first time the seventh time, I'm less likely now to donate. I'm just trying to be nice, like you're filling up my feed. My phone keeps going off telling me I havn't I have a tweet and it's you and your video. So I was very polite and I said,

so they got an attitude and unfollowed me. Right, I tried to be nice. So I lost two followers this week that I know of. That was one. Now you tell me this other one if if I'm wrong here. Okay, So this very loyal listener, a nice person who listens to this podcast, who listens to our big show, super fan tweet a lot. I have gone back and forth, had nice conversations with them. A good guy, legitimate, a good guy. He asked me a question about something to

do with procedure on our show. Okay, hey, why did this happen? Nobody else will respond to me but you, So I'm asking you. Now. You know I have a reputation of always responding to people on Twitter. I try to respond to every Sometimes is your downfall. So so I said, hey, how how's it going. Here's why? Well, that okay, but that doesn't make sense to me. Um, I have something that can help and that that will fix the problem. And I said, yeah, I appreciate that,

but we had a problem and we're moving on from it. Well, I don't think that's right. That doesn't make sense. And I said, hey, you know, um, this is the way it is. We're not going to fix it now. I don't I don't make all the decisions on the show, but I'm telling you the show as a whole, we're not going to do that. We did what we did, and it's it's four days ago. We're just gonna We're gonna move on, right. This was this was last this was three or four days ago. And the person kept like,

I don't understand. Why can't you even And I said, look, I explained to you why and um, you know I took the time to explain it. That's the truth. And I'm I'm telling you we're not gonna go anywhere. We're not We're not gonna do getting your cifics here because I'm I mean, I'm following the story. Just it's gonna open up. I don't want to. I don't want anybody else to ask the same questions. The points and that's irrelevant. The point is do you want me to tell you off?

Fair like text you text you? Okay, okay. So the point is I went back and forth three or four times with someone that again is a fan of the show, and then they just lost them, they said, so I said, um, I said, to be I was being honest. Now, I was being very honest. I said, look, our buddy Froggy is going in for surgery. We're all very stressed about

Froggy going in for surgery. And and to be honest, the show doesn't really care about this this thing like we have the show is we're like really concerned about that. And I'm not gonna bother people with fixing this thing that we decided we don't want to fix. Okay, you

saw it. So so the bottom line is comes back at me and says, I can't believe you played the Froggy card rather than answer my question, I've lost respect for you any unfollowed me, Well, yeah, because if you don't, if they don't, if their outcome is not the one that they want, right and I feel better because like you didn't give them the outcome they wanted. So they playing the Froggy card. Like legitimately, the whole show was

devastated and sad and frightened for our guy. And I was being like like I was, I was bearing my soul saying, hey, you know what, we're all a little like I can't deal with this. I can't deal with back and forth over an issue that ended a week ago, Like it's not I can I'm being honest with you. I can't bring that to the table. I can't say, hey, why don't we why don't we do this thing? Because we didn't. It's not an important thing while we're all stressed.

And rather than like, wow, this guy is bearing the soul, he's like he played that card unfollowed, lost all respect. So if you're listening, person, I hope you understand that I sincerely was trying to help you and I was being sincere about the stress level of our show. And uh, you will reflect on the good times, the fun podcasts, and the fun interactions we've had in the past and and come on back to the family. All right, that's all. Yeah, that's what you get. Uh what am I? What am

I sitting here with the sounds? Oh? Oh yeah, let's do sound. We haven't done sound in a while. What clips do you have? I have ss s. I'm assuming I'm assuming that if you're listening to this, this has happened to you. This was on my home answering machine. First of all, nobody calls my house anymore. But we have an answering machine just in case that. Well, you know what, we have to give a number to the school to leave messages if this closings or updates or whatever.

We have to have a house number for my family. We have to have house number. So this was on my my house sensoring machine registration. Do you inform you that your social Security number is about to be suspended? Give to some legal enforcement actions filed on your social security number? So turn we call us back on four six nine two seven. I repeated four six nine seven, thank you? Right, So so I get this that my

social Security number is about to be suspended. First of all, there's there's no such thing as suspension of a social security number right until you're die. Right, You're born with it and you die with it, and that's it. There's no such So what are they fucking even talking about? Because I was not even a legitimate scam, Because they want you to call that number because if you listen again,

don't play it again. But the one says this is the Social Security Administration to inform you that, And then is it like a bed edit And there's a message which means they give you different messages and use the same intro, right right, because rather than have the woman say the same thing over and over again, this is the soctre administration to inform you that I've never heard that one before and that inflection four six nine phone number. So you call it back and then what they run up?

But I didn't call it back, but play the second clip. There's two clips there, right, yeah, Pot of Social Security Administration. The reason you have received their pone call from our department is to inform you that there's a legal enforcement caption filed on your Social Security number for fraudulent activities. So when you get this message, kindly called back at the earliest possible on our number before we begin with

the legal proceedings. That is nine seven three four seven Yeah, okay, so that's a completely different phone number right before they commence with the legal proceedings. That sounds like official language there, Brodie, right, they are going to come after me for my suspended Social Security number to inform me that that is bad scam. But that's a bad scamboni, that's not even It sounds like the woman's calling from overseas. Who's falling for that ship?

Somebody again? Like hitting on women on the street. If one in ten thousand calls them back, some some old lady like ninety nine years old. I'm at a call, or the mother connected to the politician who wants you to put the sign on the lawn. She could ask a hundred people. One person is gonna put it on the lawn, right, somebody must be so so who who? If you? Do you know somebody that that called us these people back and gave up their social Security number

like it's the biggest scam. And I have ellen here. Oh, this is a very important call that I got on another important call. Um, I want you to know how you'd handle make it a little louder. I want you to tell me how you would handle this call. Because this guy, I believe it's his job to call me, right, So go ahead, how are you doing?

To verify your delivery address, please enter your details here now click this link. Well, obviously, if they're already adds out for delivery, do you have my fucking address right? Why would I have to confirm it? Yeah? Oh, speaking of speaking of delivery, I got an Amazon story

for you. So whenever Amazon delivers to your house, they usually they send the follow up that says, tell us how we did right. There's usually a picture of the thing on your your porch or your front steps or your lawing or whatever, and it says, we delivered your shirt whatever. Tell us how we did. Okay, first of all, you know how you did. You took the picture. But I don't normally do that because I get so many packages. I don't have time. But every time they deliver something

to tell them how they did. So I got something last week and that's it came with a picture. And I looked very quickly at the the yellow pouch on the porch, on the porch, pouch on the porch. I'm like, oh, blah blah blah, it delivered gray. Fine, Okay. I was like, yeah, you did great. And I said, you know what, I'm gonna go out of my way this time to take a minute and tell them you did a great job. Had that work out for you? Well, I went, I clicked it. I said, you know whatever. It was five

out of five stars, whatever the review is. I said, great job. When I get home, there's no package. So I said to my wife, or where's the package. I'm it is a package. I said, look, there's a Now keep in mind, I would say a hundred times in the past couple of months, I have completely ignored. They tell us how you did thing, and the picture of the product on my porch. I look at the picture. This is the truth now for the first time, and

it's somebody else's porch. So you've rated them excellent right when? Right? They did? So now I have to drive around my block looking for that porch to get my package back. So I drove around and I found the porch of of a guy a few doors down, and uh, they weren't home. My package was inside. Luckily they knew to bring it to me that night. But my point was, I told Amazon they did a great job, so there's no way to undo that. There's no way to undo great job. So now I thought to myself, well, the

next package that comes, I'll just say shitty job. But what if it's a different driver, So there's no way to critique the bad driver who put my package on my neighbor's porch. You know, the same thing for Uber. When you're in the car, sometimes they'll ask you to rate the you know, rate the driver. You there's an option to tip them and rate them while the ride is going on. But if the ride hasn't completed yet

and I haven't gotten to my destination. I mean, this guy could have dropped me off on a junkyard and just fucking pull away or stop for gas, or some weird ship could happen, and the ride could turn out terrible. But it's already too late. One, you can't give the money, you know, take the money back once you tip him. So you always wait for the job and the ride to be completed. Then you rate the stars, and then you had the tip after it's complete. Well, a buddy

of mine, um, he lives in another state. He took an uber and he uh, he had a good ride he was on he was traveling, he was in Florida, and he gave the guy a nice tip, and then he realized that he had left something in the car, right, He had left a bag. He had brought some stuff in the car. He had gone to like the drug store whatever. And it was like, the guy's got his tip. You think that the driver would have acknowledged that and

found a way to get him his ship back. So he calls the guy, right, he texts him and says, hey, my bag's there, And the guy's like, well, I'm not coming back to that area. I'm already across town. So he says, well, can you can you swing by? You give me in the area. You guys like, no, no, wow, I'm not gonna be there, because he picked him up from the airport from not from the airport. He picked him up from from someplace not not close to the

airport where the guy would be like coming there. Often if he had been like a hotel airport airport, hotel, rather, he would be circling around. But my my friends stayed at a hotel like nowhere near anything, and guys like I have no reason to be there. I'm not coming. So he wanted his tip back. You can't do that. You can't do you want to get right here here. He gave him five stars, and the guy's like, yeah, I don't have to tell you man, I can't come

back to that area. That's an asshole. Yeah, he wanted to undo it. He couldn't undo it. You can't even undo the stars. You already gave him five stars. That's right, great conversationalist, plays great music. All right, we gotta take another break here alright, past and did we mentioned we have a merch store? No? Do we? Yeah? Where is that? Brooklyn boys Dot Big cartel dot com. We have face coverings there. We also have um you know ups tank tops and unisex t s right shop now shop often.

So this is someone who didn't hear us plugging the merch store. You know what they found out about it on social media? Scary social media, not mine because I didn't tweet or post about it. You have you put up about the

merch store? Awhile ago. I'm up to episode fifty three and have a long way to go to catch up. But had to grab his shirt anyway a person, So Justin Banister, God bless you, love you.

Uh Hey, Scari and Brody, I've listened to all the podcasts over one hundred times because hearing you guys argue and ranton each other. Isn't entertaining when we're really gonna really like the first twenty minutes of this one. Um, I've been hearing you guys read emails on the podcast, and I've been wanting my name to be said on the podcast so badly. Oh and if you guys do read this, Brody, I'm only fifteen and my grammar maybe

Should we be talking more about TikTok? Now? Hey, I mean she listens not just for teens, as I've told

you many times. Oh really, they're Brodie, what's that you say? TikTok? TikTok is for everyone, right, all it is depends on what you're watching. And I gotta say. People just catching up now and hearing me talk about TikTok in those earlier episodes and you chastising me for saying it's a kid's app, you know what, they're probably thinking you sound really dumb right now. Nope, because I know that you were watching Addison Ray by the way, the girl Addison Rapp. Yeah,

how jealous were you? Addison Ray, who's a big TikToker. She's one of the top two girls on TikTok women on. She's a woman, she's older than Yes, I know you did the research to make sure she's legal. She was hanging out with one of the Kardashians this weekend in New York, celebrating her twentieth birthday with the Kardashian woman with one of the Kardashians, and she went to some

exclusive club. Did you see that story? Wait a second, Oh yeah, because in a pandemic they had some speakeasy rolling, right, they had, So it was a it was a club. I want to get the exact information. Is it possible clubs are closed? No, they because it's a UM it's some kind of invite members only thing. Yeah. No, it's worse than that. I'm gonna pull up the story real quick on my email. It's where the rich and elite people meet. So they went to a club whereas it

have it here here it is okay um. It is an exclusive club. The location features it's called zero Bond Zero Bond b O n D. The location features a restaurant, a rooftop, and a bowling alley. If you are accepted as a member, they have to be accepted. Scare. You can't just do this, jealous. There is a five dollar initiation fee and for three thousand dollar a year membership fee. Ask your wife if we could get some cash, you

could become members. I just gotta borrow thirty five dollars for a club that I have to beg to get into. How about that? How about that? So you know you're jealous because now your girl Addison Ray is hanging out. But I'm feeling Addison right Dao Paris said, Hey, brody and scary, I'm a truck driver from Long Island. That being said, I had stopped listening to you for a while because I couldn't pick up my phone after every episode and switch up to the next episode since it

was running backwards. My typical day is anywhere from ten to fourteen hours. So I listened to the Big Show and then the fifteen minute Morning Show Anyway launched on I Heart Radio, updated that a few months ago. If you update the software, although I don't like the look of the new software and I Heart Radio, you can now switch the order to listen in order. Why bother

reading on Brodie Anyway? Long story short, I've been binging every day since I found out I don't have to switch anymore, and they play in order, starting from the bottom. Now I'm at episode one ten Disney Rant. I am now going to listen to four episodes a day until I catch up. The reason being I believe it was episode one oh Weight that you said you only get hits or listens per click. I listened to I Heart Radio first, then iTunes, then Amazon, then Spotify. Keep up

the good work. You make my days go by fast. Thank you, Slice for Life. Dao pronounced dio die yo. I guess you should have read ahead because d I e. Yeah, But why wouldn't you put that up front? Man? D I e slash yo die yo. I guess they figured you'd you'd read it to see if you wanted to read it on the air again. I you should just spell it phonetically. Yeah, Like people text into the show or they call in, and then they'll say, oh, my name is spelled this way, but to pronounce it, you

have spelled this way just when you text in. Just texted in phonetically. Don't be difficult. All right. We only have a few minutes left because we are up against a time crunch here unfortunately, son of a bit. Really, I literally have two minutes left, all right, So, um, we wanna talk about I don't know, it's I can't get anything too deep. Taylor Rhodes wrote to us, you want to hear a story of free dessert? Sure? Yes, Hey, guys, just want to share a free dessert story? Uh? We

just happened today. I ordered pizza from Dominoes on the way home from work on the app to start that that tracker that they have waited, uh waited in my car when I arrived for it to say it was ready before going inside. I go in and on their board it says my name and status as ready. So I tell the guy my name and he looks around and says it must be just coming out and wait one moment. The guy also kept pulling his mask down to talk. But that's a while. That's a different thing, um,

a whole different thing. I stand there to wait and watch a few peaches put on and put on the truck the rack, and the guy looks and asked for my name again and says, it looks like yours is next to come out. Five more and it's standing and again asked from my name and looks at the boxes waiting for the pizzas to come out, and says again,

your pizza is next. After about twenty more minutes, the manager noticed me waiting this entire time with my status as ready, and apologized, refunded me my money for the order, and personally made my pizza and pushed it out for me. That's that was about ten more minutes, and then finally he handed me my pizza. This is where my brody came out, and I said, I'm taking a soda too, So I graped, so did him, ha ha ha. Thanks for the show. Were good that we go, We good?

We got we good at that's fantastic. We're good. Were good? Oh my god, I guess I guess after all of that, maybe even I would do a pull a week good. I mean that's just preposterous. Absolutely, your pizza is ready. You go into the store and like you're waiting a half hour watching all this pizza come out, and your mouth is warning because it smells so good. In there were good, we good. I guarantee it wasn't grape soda though, or something that's that's your Chinese restaurant. That's a grape soda,

that's your that's a specialty product. Not everybody carries the grape soda. Do you have any emails with tweets? Real quick? You know what. I don't have the name of the person. I apologize. But a woman put a comment on Elvis Durant Show and she said Brody I think she said at Brody and Scary and Brooklyn Boys. She said, I I listen every every episode. I too at the fifteen Minute Morning Show. Uh should I listened to every episode? I love your rants? So I wrote back and I said, oh,

you listen to the Brooklyn Boys podcast? Uh why why did you post that on the Elvis Durant show account. She said, no, no, no, I'm talking about your rants on the fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast. They're not really special rants, they're just yeah, it's it's you know, if I'm complaining about something whatever, Okay at it, right, I said, Oh, well, certainly the rants on the fifteen Minute Morning Show, although you like them, don't stand up to the level of

my rants on the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Scary, you know what, she said, watch the Brooklyn Boys podcast. I've never listened to the Brooklyn Boys, So I said, first of all, that's because Scary doesn't tweet out the links and remind people on social Yeah. And second of all, oh my god, not to toot my own horn or our own horn. But if you like the rants on the fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast, when you listen, so she wrote back,

She's like, I'm up to episode four. Oh my god. So, by the way, next fine, I have to find her information next week. I don't have it handy. But because you haven't ranted, I'll tell you what next episode, I apologize because we didn't get to it. It would give you two rants. That is a promise, because I've got like four sitting in the queue. As they say, well,

let's do that, man, Okay, one one quick. If you guys are in the Brooklyn Boys fan page and somebody puts up a grammar uh grammar police thing for a funny picture. That's right, there's a fan page about us, right, there's two of them, and uh, apparently a lot of people didn't like our our interview. So anyway, what if you guys all see the kiss led Zeppelin picture, If one of you sends it to us, you should tell the rest of the fan base that you sent it,

because I got it like nine times. Well here's what I would like from those fan pages. And I know Elvis Durrantcho has like three of them or four of them. Why don't you somebody say something nice about the podcast, especially in the Elvis Duranchow ones, say say something about us and post a link to our podcast. How about that? Not this episode though one of the other ones. Shut up, dick.

But you know what, wouldn't that feel like a long side If somebody sees a post, they're not gonna pay attention to it, because you know, we would just rip it up. When we come from Brookly Boys nor Brooklyn Brookline, No Boys, brock Brooklyn,
