#155: ScamBrody

that moment. No, I can wait. I want to enjoy my vacation. Well I can I can't. Yeah. I love, I mean, I listen, I love doing the podcast, but I I mentally I think we everyone needs a break. I mean, if if you're lucky enough to get some time off, I'm sure you can use the break, you know. I'm I'm with you, Broodie. I'm definitely mentally drained. Um. I feel like I'm out of things, yeah to talk about. Actually, I have something really important to bitch about, and I

think it would proud of me. All Right, I'm looking here. It's I'm not but I'm out of gas. As far as wanting to like, like criticize the world. I just kind of want to allow. What's that like? Yeah, you do you have a list? Do you go through your day every single day like criticizing and silently silently judging, silently outwardly tweeting. Yes, yeah, I can't get into that. I've kept a lot of it to myself. But but

I really want to start on a positive note. I really feel that we've all been through the ringer this year and we all need a fresh start. Well, speaking of um ranting on social media, my not me Twitter account I got banned for a week like a band. So here's the good news. Well it's it's good news and bad news. The good news is I'm not able to tweet angry stuff that I wouldn't normally tweet as me, So I'm not I'm not having divulge. What the name

of this account? Why would I do that? What's the point of having a secret account if you tell people what it is? Dumb ass? Can't people find you from an IP address or track you down somehow? No? No, thanks for putting it into people's heads. Maybe maybe I should create a secret one myself. No, I'll be honest with you, I actually use a separate phone for the other account. It's not even on my phone really, I have a remember the work phone. I got number of us, right,

so I use that. It's not trackable, so it's not I don't use that. I don't never use my laptop four it never use my phone. It's a secondary old phone that I use. I wonder how many people are listening that have burner accounts on social media, like troll account. My point was, if we get back on to the point for sec is that of course, So I'm not. I'm not. I'm not having the the outlet though, So I'm having frustration when I see stuff I want to tweet about or tweet at with with my at David

Rody account and I won't. So I'm sort of like, yeah, I want to, right because is it suspended? Suspended? Or is he trying to click a link and start the seven day countdown? Wow? Now have you ever accidentally tweeted on David Brody and Roman count and you said something really fucked up? How to pick it back? No? No, because it's a process. I have to go to get

the other phone. Yeah, I don't really delete tweets. I'm pretty methodical about before I put stuff out in the social media world, about actually keeping it there, because everything that I put forward I mean to put out there. I don't ever cancel a picture. Do you ever, like just like you taken down pictures. I'm sure, Well, if stuff expires, if it doesn't make any sense. I've never been you know, I've never been bullied into removing shit my social tweet. I did once tweet my thoughts through

the Elvis Star and Show account by accident. Oh yeah, yeah, I think I've done that. And then I and then somebody immediately texted me and said who wrote this? Ops? Oops, that was me? That was me. That was me. But no, not my not my house, No, no, no, I don't use it very often. Every once in a while I go, you know, I got a disturbing texture, even the least curious like band. Oh, you're not gonna tell me it's

all limits. You just you just finished saying how you'll never say what the account was or what you say on there. So no, I'm not going to use the exact words. I can just imagine what you said. I I was. I used a bad word about a person I don't like in the public eye. Okay, but I accidentally hit reply and that person was on, like his Twitter address was in the reply, so that that person may have reported the tweet. Someone in the public eye.

The person you can't you see see the person. You broke your own rule, hold on, hold on on, you know me. Normally I hit reply. I must have accidentally hit reply all and I said, oh that persons and I used, I use a couple of bad words, and I guess that person I didn't like my commentary and reported me. It's not a famous person as much as it's someone. Uh, it's somebody. So whatever the case, I have a week starting this morning. I think Brodie gets his jollys off of this kind of thing. I love it.

And by the way, the guy deserved he's definitely definitely what I called him. But listen to you, fucking keyboard cowboy. Well listen, there's the it's the first, it's the second time. The last time I got it got suspended a twenty four hours. Oh, and then the second offense is seven day. I would say, the first four times it got suspended, that's like rolling through the easy pass. Uh at you know when it's fifteen and they keep sending you in

the mail. They said, we're gonna suspend your easy pass. We're gonna suspend your easy pass. We're gonna and then they finally do it. Um, you got the week, and I don't. I don't know if it's a week because of so many hours bands or if it was because what I said was worth a week. It wasn't anything like, oh my god, it was just like I got. I got a disturbing text from my sister today. Remember a few months ago, keep breaking up with you? Yeah, my sister she's had it. I bet she we're fighting over

the custody of the kids. Yeah, my sister, uh said, So my friend is recently divorced and she's on the dating market again and she's on J Date. You know where this is going. She wants to know if you have any Jewish friends. Well no, she wanted a half right. No. She screenshot the guy who fucking stole my picture and turned my name as thirty seven year old Arthur and it's still up on J Date. The bastard was online today and my sister's friend said, that looks like scary.

So my sister Jennifer says, she texts Jews are on j date that she keeps find everyone finds this guy. It's local, the guys in the New York area, and she is doing so we need our listeners to go female. We need a female listener in the New York area. You don't even have to be Jewish. I didn't say that. A female listener in the New You can pretend to be Jewish. And and uh, scary, what's our email Brooklyn

Boys the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. Yeah, I can never remember that, so um uh And and we'll email you the link to a guy. Scary. We'll hook you up and see if you can interact with the guy and get his phone number for us. Well, I don't know if I have the link. I just got a screenshot. The guy's name is Arthur, thirty seven years old in the New York area, and he's a doctor he or so he says, And he stole the

picture of me in Barcelona last year. We talked about this on this podcast, and at the time I thought we got it successfully removed because several of our listeners saw it. But turns out my sister's friend who I haven't seen years saw it and says, oh my God, that's Jennifer's brother and she texts my sister. My sisters like, um, are you leading a double life? And I'm like, come on, jen like she stored for a quick second, then maybe I'm actually trying to pick up Jewish women on J Date,

maybe because of my affinity for Jewish food. If you listen to the last episode, right, I love it. But I'll tell I'll tell you this though, Brodie. Uh my sister, Um, I told I told my sister to tell her to write a skating email back to this asshole, say get your fucking picture, Debt, get this picture down now. It's a copyright infringement. This person is a known, per local

person that that people know who they are. I'm reporting you to J Date and I'm gonna report you to your wife because we all know that the guy is hiding something and it's probably the fact that he has a wife and kids. Okay, so why don't you report him? Arthur seven. I don't know how to do it, but he's back. He's back, this asshole. Now. Now, look, you have had a lot of doppelgangers, and we've come across

a bunch of people that look just like you. What if this guy is one of those guys like the guy who works in Hoboken in the restroom now, because he clearly took my picture of Instagram. I know that I was standing on a roof of church and Barcelona when I took that picture. I know. But what I'm saying is, slow down. Is that some girl is going to show up to a date with him, right, He's

got to look something like the picture. So it's what if it's one of the three or four people in the area we know looks like you, so that when the girl shows up, they're like, oh, yeah, it looks like it's plausible. That's what I'm saying. But it's gotta be he's gotta be going. You put your best foot forward. He's got to look I don't know. Well to that guy, um, and congratulations to us. We waded to number six on ther Radio six Top one hundred Podcasts of the Week.

Not an easy people, scary. Do you know how many podcasts I Heart radio has? How many number six? How many? Take a guess, I think six hundred siodcasts, maybe more thousands, two hundred and fifty thousand podcasts, Heart Originals two fifty thousand podcasts are carried back number six for the week of Thanksgiving. That's a compliment. I have to assume. Well, no, no, let me rephrase that it was for the week after Thanksgiving.

It was last week, right, So that means it's the episode we posted a Thanksgiving that carried over the weekend and we had a huge Monday after Thanksgiving crappy Thanksgiving episode, and then our new episode had to have also been huge, which it was, but not like the crappy Thanksgiving. Now it's only downhill from here. But we're yeah, we're gonna finish circle jerking ourselves off here in a second. Um, But there's a point to this speaking a circle jerking

ourselves off. We're not going to talk about Brooken Boys merchandise till the end because there's a couple of things I want to mention. I've been doing it up front, and I don't want to make a commercial. There's no commercials. We didn't pay ourselves to plug our merchandise. Brooklyn Boys, that big cartel dot com, that's Brooknoy big dot So I will say this. I I listened, i was inspired. I'm like, well, let's see who the competition is. And I listened to some of the podcasts in the top

ten no names full, just awful. How do some of the podcasts amass the audience numbers that they get when they are dead pan nerds that are on a podcast

like they do? You know, you know, we all know the shweaty Balls sketch from s now, which is supposed to be like National, like NPR, like National Hublic Radio, in the Alec Baldwin sketch with the two women who I can already answer hold on and then I'm just painting a picture and they talk like this, So that sketch epitomizes what most podcasts are, not not all of them, but this one, not this certainly not this one. We do not sound like he me through the vents. We

don't sound like any other fucking podcast. First of all, we're talking to you. We're it's like we're in a conversation with you in your car or wherever you're your air pods, whatever you're listening. But I will say that there's a lot of these they're talking at you. It's like they're reading from a fucking script. And I'm not talking about the podcasts that are fictional or their drama series, or you're listening to like like scripted drama or stuff.

I'm talking about the These are podcasts I listened to that are just fly by the seat of your pants, off the cuff podcasts. And while the titles may sound like, oh, maybe I want to hear a little bit more about this, I listened to Brodie. I listened to thirty minutes of one of them, and I was trying to find the silver lining. I'm like, what do people sing in this? What do people singing in this? You were so upset

you texted me. I was angry, and you broke one of my rules that we've talked about on the podcast. You texted me, what even are these podcasts? Well, I sound like a sixteen year old girl when I'm sorry, what even are they? I was today years old when I found out that a lot of the podcasts that we are competitions suck. They do. Speaking of you said, nobody sounds like this podcast. I'm a little nervous. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you what. I sent you a link to a podcast. I don't even know where

it is. I don't know if I emailed you or I alright sent you the link but we've talked about the the Sex podcast. I'll go ahead and say it. Call Her Daddy, which did I talk about last week? It's in the comedy section. Yeah, I don't know if you talked about it. It's absolutely absolutely belongs in the comedy section. Okay. On the I Heart Radio Comedy section, when you click on comedy, there's about twenty podcast listed

they recommend for comedy podcasts. We are the seventh. We're listed seventh, right because I had to move us up from fourteen. It's like, hey, why are we fourteen? We're awesome, Like, you're right your seventh. It's our company. So I was like, wow, what is it? So um? The reason I mentioned sounding like other people, I sent scary a link? Did I? Did I text your email you? I don't know what's trying to find I don't even think I opened it. Okay,

it was a podcast. I saw it on Instagram. It was in my like things it might like, you know, the discovery page, and it was two hot girls sitting on the mic in bikinis doing a podcast about dating and banging and screwing and sucking and all that stuff. See I listened to that. That's interesting to me. But my point was it was like it was like, uh, call Grandpa, like it was. It was as close to the original thing, and I look, oh it was. I knew what it was. It was a rip off. It

was a rip off of Call or Daddy. Right now. I understand you want to get your own niche right, but I feel like, you know, look this coke, this PEPSI I get it right. You can have two in the market. I don't know if there's other podcasts exactly, but this was I didn't listen to the whole thing. It's just whatever the one minute clip. I'm waiting for somebody to come out with the Jersey Boys or the you know, there's there's two idiots who're gonna go like, oh,

we could do that. Of course, there are people listening right now that are like, all I need is the equipment. Yeah, good luck. I had somebody tagged me on my Facebook page friend of mine whose friend wants to do a podcast. So the friend was like, I don't know what I want to do a podcast? What do I need to do? Well, first of all, you need to know what to do, right, You can't I'm gonna do a podcast. So I was like gonna So she tagged me, like, can you help

my friend out? Like, tell to do a podcast? Well, there's a technical way to do a podcast. What kind of mike, what kind of audio? That's easy, that's stuff that that that's checklist stuff. You can all google. Get yourself on a good on on a small budget, get yourself up and running to do a podcast physically, and then feed it to a a company and uploading company and then they'll and they'll distribute it. You could be on I Heart Radio with us. There's no, it's not

very difficult to do if you want to. Actually, but that's right away. Well yeah, but no, but I'm brody. But others, there are other Apple podcasts, there are other companies that will take you. I'm not talking about that. That's the easy stuff. That's the easy stuff, right. The hard thing is actually what comes out of your mouth and what are you gonna talk about? And how do you engage you hold an audience? Well, miserably here in the first good a good friend of mine, I had

two buddies, the three of them want to do a podcast. Yeah, right, they had a thing they wanted to talk about, an angle. They're all funny guys. Right, so you tell me when you stop me, when you hear the mistake. Okay, the three of them equally chipped in for an expensive microphone, you're not gonna stop me. Okay, equally for an expensive I'm not gonna stop you because I support that. No,

you can't. You can't chip chip in three ways chipping well, you know they chip in for what they're all sharing the same microphone. Like three guys an omnidirectional my phone, that's gonna sound awful, well, but you can it can sound okay like the microphones back three guys in the circle or try. The point is like when I was

in a comedy group. There was five of us. We chipped in together to buy a big sound system with wireless microphones and everything, which was fine for three or four years, and then when one guy wanted to leave the group, you have to buy out. Then you have to find a guy who wants to join the group or a woman who wants to buy into that sound system, just ship all the time, and then have to sell

their portions off. So you're trying to say, when the podcast goes belly up, who gets the podcast went belly up? After two attempted episodes. They never posted who got who kept the mic? Well, that was a big discussion. None of them wanted it. None of them wanted it, and they should give it to you. Your Mike was crackling on the fifteen minute morning the other day. It wasn't the mike. I was using the phone because you sucked me again. You sucked me on the whole. That's irrelevant. Yeah, okay,

you already know what you did. You know what you did. Continue continue quick update fantasy football. I made the playoffs. Oh congratulations, in all three of my leagues. Beat the guy that does nothing, the guy that doesn't. Well, here's the thing. I needed him to win this week because I need I had to beat him last week, and then I needed him to win this week because the other person he was playing needed to lose so I can make the playoffs. So I pumped him up. I'm like, dude,

let's go. You gotta win this, let's go. Meanwhile, meanwhile, he was like, I lost. I'm out of it. I'm gonna your Your season hangs in the balances and depends on other people winning. You're losing. Doesn't sound like you're a real champion. There Brodie hold On, I'm a champion of other two. I play and not listen in the league. In the league, in the Q one four three to classic rock, right, YEA for a guy who studies this shift On, I do study, but he is a problem.

He has the problem. The two divisions six teams and six teams. In the other division, there were two good teams and three good teams and three stinkers. In my division, there was one stinker. Uh well, I mean he wasn't a stinker, but he didn't do well. Tom Pulman, Senior vice president of Programming fi Heart Radio. He had a bad season and he's a great player. The other five of us are in a five way tie for first, which gets decided by points, which leads me to believe

that a lot of the fantasy football is luck. It's skill to a point, it's all your homework and re searching. Because the good players all got tied. The bad players are like two and nine that a jetman. Jetman won two games. He's two and eleven. If he was a real Jetman, he'd beat So there were a couple of teams that were like, you know, two and eleven, three and ten, and the rest of us all like beat

up on them. So with five of us in the same division have the same record, My point was I now had to root for the guy that I beat and had to motivate him even though I knocked him out of the playoffs to care this week. So thank you guy for caring so that you could beat the other guy. And I'm in the playoffs. Sore you go.

I wanted my money back. There's uh. I gotta say, my, my, my, my, my palms are all sweaty here, mom, spaghetti sweater already already, Yeah, it happened already because and I'm getting all nervous because we have now not one, but two weeks of sound that we haven't played. I feel like we should just get get it off our plate, right, all right, let's do the sound. So let me pull up my list. We had some lot of clips, A lot of clips, A lot of clips, A lot of clips. Some of

the best clips. You love it here the greatest clips. Not a lot of clips. Have no one's have had clips like this before. All right, so let's do um let's do the unit one. You have the Unit one I have? Yes, I do, Yeah, Okay, I want you to listen. The newscaster gets it right the first time,

then fox it up the second time. Yeah, well, I know where he putting out of space and the I c U s are filling up and it's against that backdrop that k S d K, the local NBC affiliate in St. Louis, got exclusive access to the COVID I see you unit at Merst Intensive Care Unit Unit redundancy that redundancy alert. Do you have the Fear of the Walking Dead clip? Yes? Okay. Now I don't know if this was delibered or not. Maybe I'm reading into it. There's a eight character on the show. Okay, his name

is Felix. This is not Fear of Walking toad him. Sorry. The Walking Dead World Beyond, which by the way, was ten episodes. It's only two seasons. The first six episodes were horrifically bad. Seven and eight we're okay, and nine and ten we're pretty good. This was one either nine or ten, but you you gotta suffer through the first six episodes. It's so bad. Anyway. He's talking about a truck.

So one of the girls, the lead girls on the show, gets in the truck and she's gonna try to drive the truck and he's telling her why she can't drive the truck. I want you to tell me what the guy is saying to her. Go ahead to cap it off. No, that's not the clip. Okay, well it's not labeled. It's called this thing. Got you? Yeah, I got you? All right? Okay, why don't you mean what you say? And say what you mean? I'll try. This thing is stick. I'm not

gonna be able to put my foot down on that clutch. Okay, what do you say? Meg alauda cake as it goes? But people could turn up their headphones one time. It's why he can't drive. She can't drive the car. He can't. This thing is dick. This thing is dick. This thing is dick. Did you say that? Yeah? Now he's gay in real life also, And I'm not saying that's why he said it. I just left a little harder because I know he well he's he's multi sexual. But I've

never heard the word used in that. Well, what do he was Okay, what he was saying was this thing. You know what he was saying was this thing is stick. It's a stick shift. He couldn't put his foot down on the clutch. Because he had his ankle sliced open. Spoilers right, he's saying this thing is stick, but he's saying this thing is stick, but it sounds like this thing is dick, which also, I would think he could drive the truck. Then I think you'd want to drive

the truck. I have blanket here. Oh okay again, this is a commercial where the woman says it right the first time and then fox it up the second time. Notch, my Notch comforter is made from all natural eucalyptus and is hypoallergenic, which means a healthy night's sleep for me and my kiddos. It pulls me on the warm nights and keeps me warm on the cool nights. And I love that Notch is non toxic. Sheets are luxury hotel grade. It's made with me and my family's well being in mind.

Sleep clean at fine dot com. No, it's my and my family's well being. You wouldn't say it's made for me well being. She said, it's it's great for me and my family, which is correct, But then she says, then she says, it's with me and my family's intentions in mind. You wouldn't say me intentions. That's crazy because that's a prerecorded commercial. They could have actually right proof red right. I don't I don't know what this clip is, but it's called nightmare. So to calf it Off, carl

stop up, sup ups up. So the announcer is saying that the play was so bad it's like a nightmare. But then he has like diarrhea of the mouth and he says something that makes no sense. That's for twenty minutes each week, I hear you. So to calp it Off and Carlton Davis, right now we're going is this a nightmare? Wake me up for baby? Don't wake me up? With the pH is good? What does that mean? He's living in it. He's in a nightmare, and he's like, wake me up or maybe don't wake me up? Good?

Is that like a kick he kicked point after the well if you say the guys living a nightmare because he had just had an awful play. Then he goes he's got to be thinking wake me up or maybe don't wake me up? As if that was a punchline. If you're having a nightmare, why would you not want to wake you up? To calp it Off and Carlton Davis. Right now, we're going, is this a nightmare? Wake me up? Don't? Yeah?

I think he just got lost in his words. Sounds like a college announcer there, yeah, but no, it was like Fox Game of the Week. It was like a major, major announcer. He said, wake me up, or maybe don't wake me up? Whoa heyw Does that mean? Let's get to the fun stuff with Jimmy Fallon because last week we talked about this on this podcast. Okay, well I have a clip before what we talked about, so let me just do the first clip again. Want to set

set the record straight. Love Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon is a native New Yorker. Granted sgridis upstate New York, not New York City, but this is one you have to know now. And he follows me on Twitter, and he follows me as well, and pissed, No he doesn't follow you, does he? Yes? He does, of course he does, Jimmy, and we go we've tweeted back and forth. I love Jimmy. I thought you were upset last time because I follows me. An, no, it must be somebody else. Jimmy follows me anyway, And

and Fallon Tonight follows me and Colbert Show follows me. Anyway, isn't it so if you're from our neighborho in Brooklyn, there's a bridge with a proper pronunciation of vera Zano, vera Zona. We talked about it last week. We managed one rocking on the video. Right, it's again it's I think it's the second largest spension bridge in America, one of the what used to be one of the longest in the world. It's just it's not pretty and it's not it connects two things nobody can't like. It's not like,

it's not Manhattan Bridge Bridge. It's not right. But it's Brooklyn and Staten Island and from New York. It's a big bridge. Okay, some people in Brooklyn mispronounce it. They put an end in the middle of the word that isn't there. We've talked about it on this podcast. Fallon play the clip what are you doing? Finally here in New York they had to close the Verenzano bridge this he said, veron Zano. There is no end. It's vera.

People think that it's I'm gonna sneeze covid, covid. It's like saying, yeah, brun Clinton, you put it in the middle of it. Yeah, but a lot of people do that common machique. I'll get the thing. I have a question. Does that make him more of a New Yorker for getting it wrong like New Yorkers do or less of a New Yorker for getting it wrong? Yea, yeah, yeah, maybe more use you've been here forever. So one of the things I read last week was my add a

word ruin a Christmas carol or Christmas song. Right. I read them last week and I said to you, it wasn't change a word. It was added a word. But when Jimmy read them on the air, he read two that will change your word, because, as we know in the rules of comedy, funny is funny. He's just gonna you're not funny if you have to cheat. Anyway, I submitted one which I read on the podcast before the aird,

which was uh, little drummer Boy George. Yeah. I also submitted Little Caesar's drummer Boy play the Mark Hamil clip, who, by the way, follows me on Twitter, and I've gone into back with a hundred times. Go ahead, this next one. This is so cool. Sex one is from actual Mark Hamill. Look, Skywatcher, Joker everything that guys. I love him, man, he's super funny too. Man, Mark Hamill, I love you, man, he says little drummer boyd George. Yeah, I would listen to that.

So my guest is that Mark Hamill, who follows you on Twitter, saw you write that, and then he stole it, gave it to Jimmy and said, here's my idea. No, no, no, no, why not, Brodie is Mark Hamilt? Because Mark Hamill tweeted it before I did. I looked, okay, Well, I also read a couple here that I was reading through Twitter, and it seems like Jimmy picked up on them. Because play the Christmas song one. This is great. You read this one, he says away in a pred of Manger.

The Major is a sandwich shop here in New York City. But were the fancy name but old food? Okay? And I thought I got excited, scary because I thought you wrote that off top of your head, like you made that one up, all right? And now we have best bike Yeah, and that's it. No, we have the last one. I sent you the fifth clip. Remember, I can play it off problem. Yeah, it's a problem. I'll play off my phone. Okay, okay, so I'm trying to remember what was wrong in this clip. But play the clip and

I'll remember what's wrong. Your best buy Me and Piggy have been saving up for a long time to get the right laptop again, dear best Buy, me and Piggy have been saving up for it. It's Piggy and me or Piggy and I and I. I've been saving up me and Piggy's been saving up. This wasn't like a little little child in the commer. But this is how people. This is how people talking, is how people write. Somebody

gets paid to write commercials. I know, I get that, and they get two woman is an adult, and some people get paid. Some people get paid to write commercials. Colloquial, colloquially, the way people colloquially, colloquially, the way people speak. I can't say that colloquially the way people talk. And they didn't stick up for the blanket lady, then you know what, I'm not gonna stick up for the blanket lady. I'm not gonna stick up for Jimmy Fallon making a mistake

on Varenzano. Because people do Why are you sticking up for the main piggy lady. I don't care about the blanket lady either. Yeah, car, all right, So I came home and I just checked my messages. That's why the clips not loaded. I'm gonna played off my phone. I do that, and then we got to right, I got a warning message, right something somebody my credit card was hacked allegedly.

nice day ahead. Nice days. You said you had a story for me. I was going to be proud of you. Oh yeah, right. I had a problem with grub hub this week and I said, you need my help. I did at the time, which is why I called you, okay, but you didn't answer the phone and I handled it on my own. You called me during the afternoon naptime. So I had a I had a gift card to use because some of us essential workers are coming in

every single day to the radio station. And one of the heads of sales said, you know what, everybody who's an essential worker who's been here, we want to buy you dinner on us or lunch or whatever it is. Here's a hundred dollar a hundred dollar gift card that you can use its seamless. I'm like, this is great. So I said to myself, I'm getting I'm going up for a five star meal because it's a hundred dollars.

So what do I do I order up from this this place, and I'm realizing, oh my god, I live in Jersey on the other side of the Holland Tunnel, and five minutes away on the other side is one of our great friend and chefs, Josh Capon, who has this place Lure, not a sponsor, And I'm like, and his food is very expensive because it's a fine Manhattan dining establishment, but because I got this money for free

funk that I'm going to order from there. But more importantly, normally they don't deliver through the tunnel because I live on one side of the tunnel and this restaurants on the other side, and and I'm like, well, it's coming up. It's not it's not disallowing me, so I guess I can order from here. So I get so excited. I one of my favorite dishes from this restaurant that I normally it's a treat to go to because I'm it's usually when I'm out to eat, and I'm like, oh

my god, it's gonna come to my house. It's so great. And the food all of a sudden gets processed and then it shows you. You know, they show you the mixing bowl and they show you the graphics of them pouring ingredients in. It's like your food is being prepared. And I'm like, yes, they accepted, they accepted the order. They're cooking for me. And then they show okay, let's call him Shamous. It's on your way to the restaurant

to pick up the order. Not you're not his real name. Okay, but okay, so are you gonna do the Irish accent? Or is he not Irish? He was not Irish. I'm just I'm mixing up the whole thing on purpose in case the guy with the name not Jamis is listening to the podcast, right, So, so Shamus is on his way to the restaurant. They show a picture of Shamus and I'm like, oh my god. And it's gonna be here ahead of ahead of schedule. It says it's gonna be an hour. We have a little green suit on

in a big green top. Minutes in your food. No, the guy did this guy is not? This guy was Spanish? Did not understand it? Hispanic? Hispanic Spain? No, he was not from Spain. Doubtful, doubtful. So all of a sudden, it shows him picking up the order, and then it shows you the little like trail. The map, the track shows you going. He's going from the restaurant and he goes right up to the Holland Tunnel and you see him right at the foot of the Holland Tunnel and

then he stops. I'm like, oh my god, did the app freest Oh my god, let me reset it. Let me reset the app. Reset the app, refresh, refresh. No. Fifteen minutes goes by. He's sitting at the foot of the don't. I'm like, what the fox is going on? Shamus, where's my food? Just come through the tunnel. Maybe that's maybe this traffic in the tunnel shod All of a sudden coming my phone rings unknown number probably and I get it and it's Shamus and he goes hello. I'm

like hi. He goes, no, New Jersey and I'm like, yeah, I live in New Jersey. Yeah this isn't Shamus. Go ahead, there's no New Jersey. And I'm like, no, I live in New Jersey. I'm like Jersey. He goes, no, can deliver. No, I said, are you want to bike? Like, what's going on? No, I'm in a car. I'm in car. No Jersey. He goes, uh, goodbye. He hangs up on me. By the way, if you're doing a broken English from someone who speaks Spanish, this is I'm not trying. I'm not trying to do any accent.

I don't want to. But but the way you're breaking up English is not from someone who speaks The point is Shamus then passes the order on it, says like, apparently there's this auto thing that you can press a button with seeing us and all of a sudden they could say, uh, you could tell them boom, I am not avail. You know, I'm not available to make this order.

Make somebody else do it. Next thing, you know, let's just call him Juan, just for the sake of it, Okay, Okay, Kwan a sudden Kuan like he's Jewish Kuan Okay or Kuang. I don't know, maybe he's Asian, whatever the point? Okay, you know the name was the Asian he was, No, he was not. Okay, this is a Juan. It was probably the Hispanic person. It doesn't matter, but this is irrelevant to the story. Brodie, all right, so he all of a sudden, I'm like, oh, so and so was

picking up the order. Now, maybe this guy's ten minutes later, No, Jersey can't do it. Sorry, sorry, no, goodbye, click Brodie. Now it's about an hour, hour and ten minutes into my order. Now I'm pissed and my food is gonna called friend. Did you call you girlfriend? Robin handle it and do nothing? My food is getting called. I said, fuck this, so I called so. So next thing you know, boom, your order has been canceled by the restaurant. Fucking Juan said,

I'll get this guy. I'm calling the restaurant and I'm telling them that we can't go. So the restaurant fucking cancels my order. So now Juan has a free bag of my food because he had it. He picked up the fish, because he picked it up. I saw him pick it up at the restaurant. And then he's he's driving towards the tunnel. And now there's other guys like they must have did a hand off in a car. I guess to do that, and until the restaurants has canceled. So now Juan's probably eating my food and I got

a credit back. And now it's ninety minutes later and I'm like, oh, You're not getting away with this. I called I called seamless. I asked for customer service. I said, I want to talk to the top. The name seamless, it's not not It wasn't seamless, it was it was the most everywhere. Yes, so I'm I get the kind of phone. And I told him what happened. And I and I, you know, I made up a story. I said, my kids are starving. It's been ninety minutes. I added

some brody, I add some brody color to the story. Um, so I got a bro good leg. Yeah, I can't do it now. I'm hungry. I didn't have lunch. This is this is crazy. I depended on you guys for years and he tells some poor blood you know you have the fucking balls to say to me. He said, we can offer you discount off your next order. That's what he decides to give me. Well, first of all, off your next order. First of all, there may not

be a next order button more over than net. You give that to fucking first customer strangers you never met before through the door. The first order you're getting on retail, you can get that on retail. Me not, yes, you get it anywhere. You can just sucking make a coat off the top of your scent. Yeah, and he goes, well, that's the best we can do. That's the best we

can do. Now, I've learned from listening to this podcast and knowing you all these years, that once you get past that first line of defense, then this count running up to I said, I want to speak to your manager. Well, I'm sorry, sorry that they're gonna tell you the same thing. I'm like, I want to hear it from their mouth. Fucking put me through. So they put me through. And this woman con was on the phone. Uh and Sheila

will call her Sheila, And she was very nice. She was so nice to me, and I told her where how I was feeling. I was. I got caught up. I didn't want to get angry with her, but I said, I calmly explained that had three kids that were going starving. That was now good thing. She didn't recognize your voice. You know. That was a lot over ninety minutes of waiting. Then it got canceled twice. She looked at the ye

she was Shamus. And then the hand off to Jose who ate my fucking food and didn't deliver it through the tunnel, which, by the way, I live five minutes to that goddamn tunnel. Yeah, but then I gotta paid a toll back. Not my problem. They took the order and they allowed the restaurant is online, and let's charge me for it. I had a credit, so I said, she goes, I'll tell you what she goes. I'm gonna give you that guy said, I'm gonna give you fifty off your next order. Then I pulled out the old

here's what you're gonna do for me? Yes, I'm I said, here's what you're gonna do for me? Rather rather than you give me fifty sent off the next order, because I don't know what I'm going to order from you guys, right, and exactly what if I order a lesser amount? I said, how about you give me fifty dollars in credit on in addition to my hundred dollar gift card that you're

crediting back to me at this time. And she said, you know what, we can give you fifty dollars and seas cash you can, so Brodie, I now have kicked back another fifty and now I have a hundred and fifty dollars in food credit with seamless. Send me something, and well, you don't have anything to do with this story. Yes I do. No, you don't. You just said I have everything to do with it. Everyone heard you, well, well you slice, as you heard him say, thanks to me.

Well you know, I pulled one of your your line. I pulled a couple of your lines out of my my that got you a fifty dollar gift card. I said, here's what you're gonna do for me. I was very insistent. It was a Jedi mind trick, right, so that's like you should send me. It was a broad eye mind trick. I feel like, actually got like a twenty dollar hamburger and fries and it's molted or something something something. Well, maybe maybe I'll send you something in my next order.

I guess I don't know. Well your next daughter, my next my next order. It's a dick. But yeah, but yeah, so as you could see, um, slices, don't let them fuck you. But not only that, if they if you don't like the discount on the first line of defense, elevated elevated to the supervisor. They always have more power. The higher up to chain you go, the more power they have to give you more discounts and more ship mm hm was like, yeah, well good because you because

you did the right thing. So there you go. So so that's my story that ends in happiness. But I raised my voice to the first guy when he got when he told me, and that was the best he can do. But I did not raise my voice to to Sheila or anybody else. So they up pretty much. I'm trying to read. I'm trying to read the name. It looks like the burger. Dad set me a screenshot. I'm sorry, I don't have your name here. M Yeah, So his wife had a problem. What what clothing right?

And the security tag was on it? So um, she said, I can't get the screen tag off. They are refunding me the money, and I'm gonna try to get the screey tag off right because they didn't say bring it back. So he says to her, did you get free dessert? He sent me the screenshot of text messages. She says no. He wrotes back. He wrote back to his wife even as not even they fucked up. She said, I don't have any energy in me to fight with them. Oh, so he wrote, you needed this underwear as a gift

for your sister, who is struggling to pay rent. She only has two pairs left that didn't have holes. You gotta set the scene, and she wrote back, Matt, He's told me he was so pissed at his wife because she didn't want to do anything about it, like your girlfriend, Robin. Imagine that he the guy drops a dozen eggs on the fucking floor, right, Isn't that what happened because the bags ripped, He didn't want to bring the food up to her apartment like you supposed to him. But how

great is the burger? Dad? He told his wife, even as not even they fucked up, get your free dessert, and then created a backstory as to why she desperately needed the underwear. How great is that? That is awesome? Never give up hope. You have to actually be motivated. See what motivates you through your day? Brodie to actually follow up on all this, because I was really incensed, and I was hungry and angry and angry at the moment.

That's what got me to say, I'm not letting these motherfucker's get away with this, and I had to get my credit. But on a regular day, who has the time or energy? Why some people will just say ma, Well, his wife said, Mat But Patrick Kassen Heiser wrote me, he's on the d M me. I just wanted to tell you about a free dessert experience I had thanks to you. My wife and I rented a car to travel to see elderly family members of ours. The car smelled terrible of smoke. Long story short. I contacted the

company to voice my concerns. They said they would give me one free day off of my next rental. The inner broody and me screened even is not even. I told him, here's what you're going to do. I either want my rental extended at no cost or my money back from my car rental. An hour later, I got a hundred and thirty dollars returned to my credit card and I got to keep the call. So boo, yeah, Patrick,

thank you well brody method. I do like I do like this statement of here's what you're gonna do because it almost puts you in the position of power because you're not asking a question or what are you gonna do for me, which will give them a whole menu of answers and possibilities, but by you being forthright and saying, hey, this is what's gonna make me happy. It's a statement. I do think that there's a lot to be said for just that tactic right there, just that moment. I

mean that you know, you know what I'm saying. Yes, I know what you said. I mean because that's how I phrased it to the seamless person. I'm like, like, here's what you're gonna do. This will be better. You're offering me this. I want that and I'll be happy and if they'll consider it, You've just like it's a great way of negotiating. We got an email from Katherine Watson. By the way, you can always email us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. Are you cursing at me? Yeah? No,

I didn't say what I said. See what Kathey Watson unless it's Katt Well the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. But you can email us please we read them. Uh, my name is Katie. I started listening to you guys in October of this year after getting tired of hearing all the plugs on the Big Show. What anyway, I'm so glad I did. I almost started an episode one, but the minute I heard the listen in order jingle, I stopped right there and went back episode zero. We

haven't played that in a while. I know, we gotta get we gotta bring that back. I don't have it with me, none of them, None of them. I have been a Slice for Life ever since. I am currently on episode sixty four and hope to get farther soon. That's the one when we yelled at each other like every other one. I was also hoping help, hoping Brodie could help me with something. My mom recently bought an item from a certain craft store and on the way home,

the item broke. My dad told my mom she should get the craft store to exchange it, since there was most likely a design flaw. I said, well, Ma, you gotta get your free dessert. She doesn't want to, though, how can I get her to get what is rightfully hers? Thank you so much? Hashtag f you Ape seventy seven, f you Agnes and wow at hashtag scary and Brody thank you well anyway, But either way, either way she's she's like she want. But let me ask you that

in this case, is it the store? Okay, go ahead? How do you get out of this one? Well, for the the issue isn't what to get. The issue is how do you get your mom involved? So the easy solution is called as your mom, that's it. What do you going to say to the store you broke it. You broke it, you after you brought it. It's like yours. There's no proof of how it fucking you know, I would. I would call the manufacturer probably and say that thing

is defective. Piece of crap. I would also, you know, you should always do always google it, right, google the item and the problem. And if you see web pages and blogs and people posting that they had the same problem, now you've got ammunition. Anything that's ever been defective. I google it and this this some page where somebody says, oh, I had the r S thirty six and it lasted three days. I hate it. So you get Amazon, look it up on Amazon, read the reviews, and shot boom.

And then you got your company. The fact that I thought I thought it was me, but apparently everyone has a problem with it. That's why they can't go Saray. You know, no, we've never had this before. I can't imagine bullshit. Adam Zero talks about free dessert, uh, scary and Brody Brodie and scary. A few months ago, I ordered a set of Stabila levels through Amazon for work. I ordered a three foot level, a two foot level, and a torpedo level. The total cost was three hundred bucks.

Expensed it through my company, so I paid nothing for it. But the Amazon app on my phone said it was delivered by UPS to my house. I got home and it was not there. I contacted the third party seller and Amazon and filed claims through both. I also did research myself and tracked the package because I get emails from UPS with a tracking number. Come to find out, it was delivered one town over to a random warehouse. I was able to get the address and went there myself,

and they gave me my level set. I decided to keep my claim through Amazon, though, and not tell them that I picked up the levels myself. Amazon gave me a choice if I wanted new levels or the money put back in my account. Seeing as how I just picked up the levels, I went ahead and I had the money put back in my account. Keep in mind, my company paid for these levels, and Amazon put the money back in my account, so I made three hundred dollars for buying these levels. I love you guys and

your podcast. I'll tell you why that's not stealing, tell you why it's not stealing. They made him drive back and forth. They did, so that's the cost. But my favorite is that extra wrinkle. It's like, not only did the Amazon put the money back in my account, but I didn't pay for this to begin with, so I got an extra Well, let me read, let me read a Let me read an Amazon story from Raoul I O j e s your hess jews yr hess y sorry roll uh, he says. I got an Amazon rant

and I got double free dessert. I ordered a foosball table for from Amazon for dty. It was supposed to arrive on Sunday. I'm at my house on Sunday and I see the FedEx truck pull up. The driver gets down, keeps walking around and climbing in and out of his truck. After twenty minutes, he leaves. Sunday night, I checked my phone and it says my order was delivered. I didn't

receive any package. I called Amazon right away. They told me they can't refund my money till the next day, and Amazon will call me at one pm on Monday. As expected. I did not receive a call and no package came. So I called him again. I got a super nice man, and he first tells me he can't refund it. After fifteen minutes of trying, he finally does figure out away because I told him it was unacceptable. I wanted to refund. Now, I say, how can you

make this right? He offers me five dollars and I say, no, I want more. I asked for twenty five and I have. I say I have, I have. Uh, I have to call someone again and make a big deal. It's what taken up my time. I want. He offers me ten dollars and I caved in and accepted it. Okay, that's a fail at I end the call and I forgot about it. I get home from work that day and what's at the door the package free dessert plus the refund and the foosball table. I'm so fucking proud of myself.

Thank you David for installing in me the ways of the free dessert. So he got the ten dollar credit, a full refund YEP on the foosball table, and then the foosball table showed up the best. That's the best, free desert. Rudy Marino wrote, scary, don't give up. I don't know what that means. Remember Opie and Anthony, Opie's brother forgot his name did it and his mother caught him. I know it's a throwback, but I'm caught up and

I'm bouncing around. I know all my favorites and number had me L M A O. The wayfair was fucking priceless. I love you both. Don't know what I would do without you. What's this guy referring to with that? A lot of different things we've talked about. Oh, he just like jumped around to just he's jumping around like house of pain. He's freeballing it. I love it right? What comes to his mind? All right? Nice? Thank you? You have an the one. Oh. Grady Rogers said that, um, gentlemen,

I wanted to share a story with you guys. Over the past few months, my girlfriend has made it more and more clear than I am allowed toure and kindly implies how much it bothers her. Finally, tonight, when I was smacking a quarter pounder, she got off the couch. Wait a minute, like over his knees. Yeah, he's spanking yet sanking the beach. Yeah, I was spanking my quarter got do it good for you? He was smacking a quarter pounding like I'm She got off the couch and

moved to a chair further away from me. I was like, are you really gonna guilt trip me with that ship again? She told me I'm sorry. I promise it's not you, it's me. And in that moment I realized my girlfriend has mesophonia. Please can you do me the service song? We don't have? You know what we're you know, we've been doing this for six months and you don't have the listen in order jingles? Yeah, play it maybe next week. Have a great will mesofonia And if you don't know

what is google it. It's a real condition when people have problems listening to slapping noise, like noise noise bothers like noise chewing eating, but it really bothers them, not just in annoyance, like they really can't listen to uh to something and they it's called me. It's a real condition anyway. Yeah, so like I can pretend to say it like, oh, mesia, don't do that. That's not helping anybody.

Don't do that. I would like to thank everyone who sent us their Spotify wraps if you don't know, if you're not on Spotify, Spotify did a year end rap where they did a little movie right and showed you your number one songs, your number one playlist, your number one band or artist right, Your number one podcast did a whole big production and a bun. People shared with us that The Brooklyn Boys was their number one story.

That's the most most binge podcast. So shout out to Will I am Will underscore e y e underscore am. We've talked about him before. Uh he listened to two hundred and ten episodes of The Brooklyn Boys, which we don't even have, which means he listened to multiple replays of episodes for thirteen thousand, six hundred and twenty minutes ship of our podcast. I'm sure there's others of you who do similar, So thank you for that kind of

crazy ass dedication. Thirteen thousand. Wow that's a lot of minutes. Yeah. Um, what more free dessert stories? I got them for you give me one and know we get of stuff talking about okay, uh ery Aris, Hey boys, Oh we know this guy. Hey boys. I bought a low pressure regulator pumped from lows. The pump arrived missing apart. I called and they told me this part was optional. At first, I did what Scary would have done and gave up. Then I thought, what would Brodie do? I did my

research and call them back. After getting the same response, I told Randy, you guys have one picture on the website, and that picture shows the pump with the optional part. Nowhere in the description says that the part is doesn't say that the part is optional or that it doesn't come in the package. Randy puts me on hold. After about seven minutes, comes back and tells me you are right. That is a mistake. I will notify the proper department. Then he asked if I wanted to order the part.

I said yes, but I'm not paying for it. Your mistake and that picture is deceiving. He says, there's nothing I can do. Ah, here the escalation. I asked for a supervisor, the magical super supervisor with more power and authority to give you more free ship. By got a supervisor and explain the whole situation again, and this is what you're gonna do for me. Once again, there's the statement, this is what you're gonna do for me. You're gonna overnight me the part and give me twenty five store

credit for making me waste my time. Explain to you is this is awesome? In the end, this could be your first gay romance Brody. Um, I'm assuming. In the end, I got a twenty Fwell, in the end, I got at David Brody what I got a twenty five dollar gift card and I was able to pick up the part the same day at the Lows by me boom bitch the part? Wait wait wait wait wait did they get the part for free? Yeah? The part was only wait no wait oh hey, the part was only forty

six dollars. But I love the win. You know they paid forty six dollars. But the card I get for your troubles well and to free this art, the parts gotta be free because of the misrepresentation option. It was an optional part. Yeah I pretty, yeah, pretty? But now he got he drove, No, he got it. I think he got it for free. He had just said. He says he went to Lows and picked it up. I don't know if it's optional. Then he gets the kid like to believe they called the store and said picking

up at the store it's free. But even say that, we need to follow up. By the way, I have so many story follow them all to me at some point, gonna use them for your book. I gotta call, I gotta call a couple of people out tonight as we tape this. What's today Wednesday Tomorrow is December, which the first night of the first night of and and so Danielle Minaro, who's on our big Elvistran morning show, because

you all know and loved Danielle. Uh. She she sent out a instant story and it was about helping out for a charity. You and she worked. You can talk about the charity in the second for for charity and short's a great cause. And she put a heart a Christmas tree, and I guess she was thinking menorah. Now a hannaka minorah is the is the candle holder or the bulb holder that has eight candles and in one in the middle to light them. So it's nine total. Right. You don't need to be Jewish and know a lot,

just no one. You know everything, what they look like, you like them, and for the eight nights. So eight candles in the middle and one in the middle to light them. So nine total. Okay, So from right to left, in the right, in the graphic, in the in the the additional the graphic pictures gifts that she put in the uh. The instant story. She's got to donate here or swipe up some hearts. By the way, shout out, shout out to Danielle's son, because we know he's listening.

He's gonna hear this. Spencer, Spencer, love you, Spence the best, Spencer, the best. And again, this could happen anybody in my fault and your mom um. But she put a a seven candle so three and three one in the middle, a seven candle thing. Okay, Now, the original menorah was seven candles, unrelated to kna Right, kna go was became a thing holiday and they made a Haneka manorah which has eight candles and one is nine. Right, the original manora,

just Annora is in fact six candles one in the middle. Okay, However, I saw that and it's green on green, three candles on the left, red three candles on the right, and a black candle in the middle. Those are quansa colors. Yeah, that's a cannara. That's what people who celebrate Kwanza light. Now, there's nothing wrong with Danielle sending out a Christmas tree and a canara. But I know she meant Christmas and Kanaka.

She she meant hanaka because especially since this is High Lifeline, which is the charity that we're supporting, right, a Jewish charity, right, So she put so she right? So I figured she's like, oh, Jewish charity, I'm gonna put a hanaka manora, And of course she copies me on it, and then I'm part of this scary retweeting retweet well story, we posted my story. But the thing is I didn't. I didn't even see it.

I should have. I should have caught it, and bere like, that's not that's not a manora because the guy who likes Jewish food didn't catch that. Yeah, it would be like it would be like, uh, you want to put a flag of Israel and you put a flag of Ireland, like you gotta go, hey, that's something I flag. Okay, well it doesn't matter. Again, Happy Kwanza if it's your holiday in a couple of weeks. But that wasn't the intention is coming earlier this year? Yeah, well next year.

It's actually the end of November around Thanksgiving. Did you get your hands on a PS five Brody? Is that one of the Crazy eight gifts? It's gotta I will tell you a story about the PS five right after this. Hold on, that's not a commercial, right this till I thought I thought, I thought maybe Danielle went on Instagram to commercial. What are you doing here? No? No, I said, I'll tell you right after this meeting the story in the middle of Yes, so Danielle put the canara up

instead of the menorah. So I thought, well, maybe it's not Danielle's fault. Let me check Instagram and make an instant story. I'll put in menorah and hannaka and see what comes up. And so sure enough, there's like forty different minorahs to choose from, and the top left one says happy honeck under it up. Not yeah, not the one that Danielle had. I don't even know if she got that one from. Then the bottom left is an actual a red, black and green cannara, again not the

one that Danielle post. So you're and two of them are not even two and it's not and they say one of them says happy Honka as part of the graphic, so it's not like it's an old style seven minora. It actually is a happy Honeka minoah, which has to have nine candles. So Instagram, now who owns Instagram Facebook face. Right, Yeah, that's the guy's name. It's owner Zuckerberg. You're a Joe Zuckerberg. You're a Jew. You got it wrong. Your people got

it wrong. Your people are not on my people apparently not tribe you met you. You're screwed up. They're allowing for these errors. So fuck you Instagram. Now. I posted on Twitter, I posted on my Facebook page. I'm gonna put it up on Instagram so I can rip Instagram on Instagram. But come on, now, it's like a Christmas tree, but it's actually a street lamp like that. It's it's not it's not the same thing, damn it. I'll tell you the PS five story right after this. Oh you

get the commercial already, We're back. Yeah. I mean it's obviously the hottest, the hottest, the thing arguably for people is the PS five. You can't get your hands on them. Well, let me tell you a little story. I was doing some shopping about our friends and we had a little hoeing p Paul Revere. No, he's a little story. Yep, uh yep. I hit it like this, I hit it like that, I hit what do that? Okay? So I was at PC Richard's son are good friends sponsor to

the Big Show. You know, I've been shopping there since way before I was in Radio, a long time electronics store in the New York Tri state area. Also online, you can shop there anytime. I'm in the Jersey City store and I'm in there looking at I'm looking at an oven, possibly right, because we might need a new oven. I'm looking at a new microwave because I fixed the microwave, and by fixing it, I broke it. But I fixed it,

but I broke something else. So the microwave door handle broke off, and it broke where the screw goes into the handles, so that the screw has nothing to grab onto. So I temporarily fixed the handle by supergluing it onto the door. But now the door doesn't close properly because in taking the whole frame off to fix it, I bent the frame a little bit. So the door closes and sometimes it goes. You have to push your close. So I was in there looking for appliances. So while

I'm in there, Yeah, can I help you, sir? Needy help now? I'm good. So manager comes up to me and I said, He says, hey, I can I help you anything? I said, I'm just looking at the microwaves and I'm looking at some TVs. You know whatever. I'm you know me, I'm a kid in electronic store. I love it. So I made a joke. I said, yeah, yeah, I need a PS five And he says for real? I said, yeah, why, well, we had an order, uh and somebody canceled what huh? He says, somebody canceled the

order like fifteen minutes ago. No way. And I said, you're joking with me, right, this is a joke, Right, is hidden cameras? He said, no, we haven't even put it back on the sales floor yet. I said, I'll take it. I'll take it. You caught your hands on a fucking PS five. Yep. You You just happen to be at the right place at the right time. And this guy, this guy, this sales dude was like and shout out to them for not like waking himself and

selling it. How honest is that? That's super honest? But isn't there all sort of waiting list of people that they said, we'll call it back if we get one, And how did you move to the top of the list, because you're standing in front of him looking for a microwave and asking him in an offhanded way, Hey, I can use a PS five. Ah, well that's not that's ridiculous. That's just timing due play the lottery. Man, I got lucky. So now what So now you've got a PS five you get is a self gift or is that for

one of your daughters? No, it's a win win, dude. I'll tell you why it's a win win. Why is it a win win Because I'm gonna gift it to my kids and then I get to play it. I get the credit for getting for them, and then I get to play it. Do they even want it? Are you kidding their kids? Of course they want it, and you're gonna play with this thing. But do you don't have You don't even have a PS four or an Xbox we're talking about. I have a p S three, have an Xbox one. I have a PS two. I

didn't get the four. I didn't know. I I thought you lost interest in video games years ago. I've got a Raspberry, I've gotten a Tar simulator. I have an in television simulator. No, come on, I'm a gamer, dude. I have no time. But in my heart of hearts. I'm a gamer, damn you. Oh you kidding, I'm gonna be flying. Got your hands on a freaking PS five. I got lucky, all right? Good for you, man, congratulations.

There's windows of opportunity at every store like Walmart. Walmart advertises and says, okay, nine o'clock on Wednesday, we're gonna have a few log in and try to buy it. They tell people it's the worst. Man. Remember the days of Nintendo and Toys are Us and all. It was so awful growing up in Brooklyn that Toys r Us

on Bay Parkway on Saturday morning. We would all wait for the store to open and we can run through like animals, and you have to like grab the fucking taking number, like it like it meets at the deli when it was like now serving number. You have to grab those fucking things and get a ticket. You gotta get the golden ticket and you gotta run to the window. I don't know how much the video games were then. I don't remembers each Yeah, well yeah, so, uh it's

a good thing. I had my my PC Richard credit card. It's not commercial. I had to store credit card with me because I didn't even know how much they cost. I had no clue because I figured I wasn't gonna get one. I never bothered looking at my Oh no, oh no, how much? Oh no, no, the one it's more than that because the only one they had, what was it gonna do? Say no? The one they had was the bundle with the second controller and the and the Spider Man game. It was over seven hundred dollars.

I don't I don't have that kind of money. That's a splurge. It's almost as as much as this broadcast equipment. Okay, yeah, so I don't have that kind of money. I have no room on my credit cards for that kind of money. Luckily I had to store credit card, and over a certain amount of money, they give you twelve months financing. So I was like, okay, I'll put it on the store card, not lay away. It's financing. I'm not that's different. You know, financing is do you know you've never heard

that to pay more for ship? Zero percent financing for twelve months? Oh? Zero percent? Okay, good, because it's the store card. Yeah, so a year to pay it on six months whatever it was, Maybe have six months whatever it is. I I could finance it because I know that I have the money, especially this time a year. So I wasn't gonna say no, where am I gonna go? I got the cheaper one, you got the less expensive ones?

Why don't Why don't we flip it? And I'm not gonna do that, because we'll we'll, we'll, we'll give it as a contest to the slices. How about that? Are you gonna give me the money I spent? We'll go have these. It's half half podcast, half years half mine? Are you okay? No? I nos five prodi Yeah, yeah it is. I don't know. I'm just saying, like it's funny because as soon as somebody finds out that somebody has possession of a PS five, people start to people

start to wonder. They start like they're like I I could use that, you know, or or they go with the charity angle. You know something. My my, um, there's this this hospital here and this kid's dying wish is a PS five. They'll try and guilt it out of you. Oh my god. So I was at the bank yesterday, as I throw, yes, I was a TD bank at the drive through and I pull up and there's a guy wearing a pink uh sport jacket, and he's seen he's behind the glass. It's a drive through. So I

took my mask off, right, So I said Hi. He goes, Hi, welcome to TD Bank. I said, Hi, I need to uh need some help with blah blah blah blah. Here's no problem, brody man. So he says, don't worry, I'm a big fan. I won't say anything. So I was like, all right, God, forgive me if you listen to the podcast. I don't know if he does. He said, listens to the Big Show for the like three or four years, loves the show obviously enough to who I was. I'm like,

you know who I am? He's like, yeah, I watched the fifteen in the Morning Show video because you know, for years, nobody knew what we looked like, especially me, so he recognized me, right. So so he says, don't worry. I'm not gonna say anything right now. I'm telling you it was hard to hear through you know, the microphones at the bank. So his name was like Kissam or a que. I could sort of see Q, and I

don't know if it was kiss um kiss mirror. I apologize It was definitely with a que though, so I was talked a little bit, how long he listens whatever, you know, I was shooting the breeze, and he's all right, I gotta I gotta get a manager to sign off on this because I gotta, you know, because it was my one of my smaller accounts had gone inactive for six months and uh, I was trying to use the A T M. And like, you gotta go to the bank and reopen it. He's like, I just gonna have

a manager signed off. Okay, no problem. So he comes back his eye, no problem at all, taken care of. And then to the left of the window is a whole way where he went. I see two women, one at a time with their masks on, lean around the corner of the wall. Mm hmm, you know, the old ye and then they look I know he told them that I was out there, so he was like, don't worry, I won't say anything anybody. He totally did, which you know,

I'm not I'm not upset about it. But his first instant was hey, Brody, and he was like, don't I'm not gonna say anything. And then like five minutes later there's there's women coming out to check out the car and see who's high. I felt like a goldfish, like at the aquarium, like a like a fish and the aquarium like it was like, look at the dolphin. I may be able to top that, Brodie, I might be able to tap that. I have a story. So so right before Thanksgiving, I wanted to get a COVID test,

you know, see my parents. I wanted to see my parents. I wanted to go to get I went to the trailer in Jersey City to get my nose swapped, and it's like as a family living there, it was like, no, there's a transit trailer that was doing a COVID test that they it wasn't the rapid one. It was the one that goes has to go to the lab for

forty eight hours, right, So they swabbed my nose. They put the thing in the bag to say, oh yeah, log into this website and whatever the case and maybe in forty eight hours you'll have you'll have your your your test result. So I didn't hear anything for like forty eight hours. So I I type into this is this customer service portal? I guess that you you can go to So I said, Hi, um, when will my

COVID test be available my results? I'm supposed to have Thanksgiving with my parents this week and I and I got the test on Monday. Is this the area I need to be where where it will be posted? So they're like, oh, hi, uh Anthony, our labs are a little backed up right now due to the surgeon COVID. You can access your results and then they give an example of where to go whatever. But I'll be checking in for your periodically. Thank you, and then I'll save

this person's name. I'm not gonna say the person's name. They respond back to me, and I'm like, oh, okay, thank you. Um, I said, I really appreciate any help you can give me to make sure I get get this done in time so I could see my parents on Thanksgiving. So they wrote, Hi Anthony, uh, this is an hour later. I just put it in a request to expedite you. By the way, I love the Morning Show. I've been a listener for quite a few years. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. And your parents are

are so fun. I love hearing them on the air. Is that on the layend, did you happen to get bumped up. They hope it was unrelated. I hope you were getting bumped up. And then she or he or she expedited me before knowing who it was, had said it's for Thanksgiving. But how the fund did they know by my name? There's no pictures. There wasn't a lady or that was testing me in the truck. But isn't that funny that like, I'm like, Okay, I guess, I guess if I'm positive, if this person will throw it

all over social media covid jones. My test was negative, luckily, luckily, But isn't that an interesting way to find through a doctor's portal that they're they're a fan of the show. Yeah, well it's still does the top. It doesn't cute, it still doesn't top the the prosthetic Sam, that was d As. There was a finger in your asshole. You're David Brody. No, why would they put a finger in you? I don't understand, you're an asshole? No, I told you this is a

few episodes. People already heard this. I was in the hospital when we came back from Mexico, remember, and I gotta I gotta e COLEI yes, And I was bleeding from back there, and I was sick for days in Mexico. So when they were prepping me to go in and put the scan, and it wasn't a prostedt exam as much as it was an endoscope, well a rear endoscopy, right, So they were going in with a camera to see if I had polyps or what was causing the bleeding. Turns out I had a coal I but anyway, so

they got me all prepped. I drank that stuff. I had a drink. I'm on the gurney and the doctor's assistance like, Hi, my name is blah blah blah, I'm gonna be wheeling you down. I'm gonna be assisting with the with the procedure. Great, he goes. You want to let you know I'm a big fan. That is not when you want to hear you're a big fan. You're gonna be sticking a camera in my butt. Yeah, but at least you'll know you'll be taking care of they're big fans, so yeah, taking care of Okay, have a

big fan. Ah, that's just not. There are times you don't want to be recognized. Yeah, that's one of them. And if if if if if q at the bank had been in the In the operating room, nurses would have been poking their heads into the the e R over and over again, into the oar rather over and over again, like is that Brody's ass? Everybody's asked right there, it's nothing to write home about. So you're a, yeah, nothing to write home about. You can't bounce a quarter

on it. I'll tell you that much, all right. I don't really have anything else for this episode. I know I got another hour's worth the stuff. We'll then go for it. Then get ahead, man, take over. Now, my family's gonna be home in a couple of minutes. I wanted to talk about let me say, you know, let

me just wrap up talking about holiday lights. So I had mentioned a couple episodes ago or I think everything should be fifty dollars, right, Plumber comes over a plunger just at fifty bucks, right, like a d eighty what fifty bucks? So this year I was like, I'm gonna, you know, I wanna put Holliday lights on that because we had done Halloween for the first time ever. I think I mentioned that I bought inflatables for the house, and uh it really I really got a kick out

of it. I had like a twelve foot grim reaper and a twelve foot pumpkin man, and I was like, you know, this is this is fun let. We've had the house for twenty years, We've never decorated the house. I'm gonna I'm gonna look into getting some lights done. I'm gonna surprised my family, and uh see what it costs to get some lights done. So I contact five or six companies in the area that were recommended on Facebook, and I say, do you guys supply the lights or

do I have to buy the lights? And if I have to buy the lights, I have no idea what to buy. So will you look at the house. Here's some pick yours telling what lights to buy and how much to install them. All right, So one guy gets back to me and says, you gotta buy your own lights. Here's links to the lights. The lights are like three hundred dollars that that I want for the house, okay, and he says we charge. So I'm thinking to myself, Okay, to put up some lights over the garage some trees.

It's an hour. I'll do it. Yeah, yeah, okay, right, you will go into pocket. I'll go to two. If it's two hours to put up some lights, I'll buy the lights. I'll pay somebody. So then he writes me back and he says, uh, I s I said, I'll get the lights. Uh, here's where I want the lights. He writes me back and he says, I it's but we charged by the half day. In full day, we charge four hours or six hours. That's not cool. So I go, that's not by the hour, that's by the

half day. You don't tell me what you're charged by. What is the point of telling me what you charged for half for an hour? If you're going to charge me for four hours of no matter what, just tell me four or six hundred dollars. You go and lay the groundwork hour whatever was right. But then you say minimum four hours, then it's not nine, it's four hundred. So hit the jingle. Scary. That is a scamboni. That's what that is. I mean, you tell me it's gonna

be you know, And then you're lying to me. You're lying to people. So now you're telling me it's by the way, Yes, of course you did so. Then so I said, well, so it's four hundred dollars, and then I buy the lights. He goes, well, it could be six hundred. I go, dude, it's not taking six hours to put up the lights. Not a chance. This is probably a union worker. It's probably gonna take three days, so he tells me. Because but don't worry, it's only three fifty to take them back down. What so now

it's seven fifty plus the lights. So I said three fifty to take them down. First of all, part of the price was to put lights on my bushes. I'm not gonna pay you to take lights off of my bushes. I can reach those. So if you just have to get the lights off the roof line over my garage,

that's twenty minutes. Yeah, but it's a minimum of four hours because you're you're not like carefully like hanging up each section of the You're like you get pulling them going blah blah, you're not making sure that straight, Like how long does it take to pull the lights off? Don't tweet me, I don't really care. By the way, since they charge half price to take them down, they probably do not wrap them up properly. They probably just

don't know if they throw them onto the driveway. Here you go, your asshole, get by a ladder next time. So I go, you know what, that's got to be high that's gotta be high priced. So I I get another guy. He's got pictures on his website beautiful homes whatever. So I'm like, I need the dinky special. So he says, oh, well you need uh you need white lights over your thing and you know, over the thing and the bushes. He says, all included with the lights. Will will supply

extension chords and everything. Eleven hundred to put him up, five hundred to take him down. I was about to tell you, Brodie, that first guy was the bargain, because it was the first guy was the bargain. I mean, seven hundred fifty dollars. I'm like, no, why it should cost two hundred. I should have kissed that guy. I got another guy who said eighteen hundred, but we'll we'll design it for your home I got. I don't want to designed. I just I got a normal house. I

just want some lights. What are you doing to me? I gotta have money for the PS five I just bought. I can't finance the lights. And by the way, they're all in coots. They all know each other. These guys business, please please, So I'm sorry, but fuck you Ted. That was his name. Fuck you Ted, I'm not You're not getting d dollars too, because you paid for the lights. I went to home depot tonight, which is why we started a few minutes late. I went to home depot.

I bought netlights for the bushes I bought. I bought white lights for over the garage. Right. The whole thing costs me like, uh about nine Right, And you're gonna do it yourself and break you throw the nets on the bushes. I already have extension cords. I'm gonna hang. I'm gonna put the lights around the garage doors of myself. And you know what, for a thousand dollars, I'm not spending. I'll live without the lights on the roofline by the gutters. So you're gonna do it half fast? Yeah, and do

it yourself? Yeah? For a tenth of the price. Would you hired Ted? Four? Our minimum? Can't you can't tell? It's like you go to a garage, Uh, like you hire electricians sometimes? What do you make an hour? One ten an hour? But if I walk in the door, it's too our minimum. You gotta be worse, it's gotta be worth his while to come out to begin with. That's how like if you look at look at taxi cabs and a lot of places, it's it's it's always the first It's always X amount of money the first mile.

So then charge me two hundred the first two hours, and then a seventy five dollars the third and four. This guy was budging even if you were gonna have him do it at a time that was scary. It's December, he's he doesn't need my business. Yeah, but if you do it at a time when it's convenient for him that he's not doing anything else, December twenty eight, I probably get sitting at home pulling his put in the middle of the afternoon. I speaking at decembery. I'm on

Amazon looking for a couple of for inflatables. I know it's late in the season, don't don't hate me for it. So I'm looking for inflatables, right I find one I like right now. I'm Jewish, so we're not looking for like Santa Claus. We're looking for fun inflatables that are winterry. Okay. I find one I like. It's and it will arrive in two days, but then it says available from other

sellers for oh a deal, So I clicked up. I click on that and it says brand new Amazon Prime for the same sixty nine inflatable, and under it it says will ship. You should expect a delivery between December eight and December. Ah, the Christmas is over right, So if I want to buy it for December eighteen, hopefully it arrives on the eighteenth, I get a week before Christmas of having this inflatable for and I have it for next year. So I'm thinking I might make that move,

and if it shows up, it shows up. But how's that like? Let's say you really wanted it for this year, You're gonna gamble saving saving the fifty bucks. So what I was thinking to do? And hear me out, scarre, hear me out, hear me out. Okay, you buy it for seventy and you buy it for twenty, right, Okay, if it shows up on you return the seventy dollar one Amazon. If it doesn't return, if it shows up on at that point, I've already inflated the other one.

Now in the one arrives, I returned that for sixty boo. Yeah, boom, there you go, and you still get your money back the maximum amount possible. Right. How about that? How about that's you pulling a fast one. That's you pulling a It's it's me pulling a you know what. It's called Stam Brodie. I like that nothing. You know I because you know where I'm from. Boys glad, boys rock, rock gla
