I'm hungry. Okay, let's do this. There's two boys in this South for Glyn Boys in this South, Crazy boys in this South. Boys in this South. There's two boys in this South. Boys in this house, crazy boys in this South. Episode one Boys podcast. Do you remembered I asked you? I said, we had request for it. Thank you the Brooklyn Boys wop intro ask for it by name. Scary and I are smashing on private pots together right now. Oh my god. Anyway, I you know, I gotta tell you, Brodie,

I I am a bastion of good health. If there was ever a poster with what this healthy? Good health? Not a bastard? Oh sorry, if there was ever a poster that said what does good health look like? Look up good health in the dictionary. There's a picture me there. You don't want I'm checking. Yeah, it's not a good It's very dark. You should use a filter or something on that lighting up. I went for my first physical

in like thirty years. I haven't gone to the doctor. Okay, but can I just set the stage here because Scary knows that I try my best to take care of myself, at least matically like I go to the doctors I go to you know, all the whole list of eye doctor. Her doctor knows him throat everything. Just make sure everything's working right. Okay. And I'm a couple of years older than Scary. So he calls me up and he says, couple of kids, I'm not smashing my privates up against

yours anymore. Dude, it's a couple of years. Relax anyway, So Scary calls maybe goes listen, Brody, I know you you you You go to the doctor every year, every year, twice a year. Yeah. I get a get a physical twice a year. Plus I get all the uh my people my tribe we called catchy problem. When you catch it's like when you complain about my neck. Car older. Okay. So I go to a lot of doctors and make sureything's fine. Okay. It scart this to me. So what

are they gonna do? What are they gonna do? I said, you know, they gonna take your blood pressure and check your heart, you know, your pulse, your heart rate. Uh, they may ask you to be in a cup. I don't know if they do the blood work. Where you're going And he sends you out and you're like, okay, but are they gonna loop up a finger and stick in my butt? And as I said, scared, I don't. I don't think that's that's a urologist, a proctologists. You're fine.

So he's well, well, well what I said, they may give you an e kg. What's an e kg? I explained to him, us, okay, but what about the finger? They can put a finger in my butt. I saw you were obsessed with your finger in the butt thing. I'm gonna say this. I was just more excited and an anxious because I didn't never have gone there before. I've never done any of this stuff. I've never never doctor. How long has it been since you went to a dome? You know? Back in two thousand two, I went to

Club MED with my buddy. Told dar, okay, that's what's not a sponsor Club m D, Club D. That was back when they had the hands up and all that crap, back when it was like a single resort, let the dogs out. And it was so long ago, man, it was it was like hands up, baby, hands up. Remember that gave me y'all hot, gave me gave me y'all hot. So anyway, when I when I got back from there, First of all, I went on a bender, uh, drinking shitty liquor and but just bad food, bad buffet food

every night for seven nights. Got back and I had a guess, is prior to being healthy? Scary? This is back in the day. Oh this is terrible. Yeah, this is before I tried to do anything about my health. And I came back when you was seeing Dr Fat Gaine right, yeah, the world. I had the worst acid reflux. So I went to the doctor. They stuck the thing down my throat, and then they prescribed nexium for me, the little purple pill. Yeah, and and and within a

few weeks it all cleared up. And I said, I'm never going to destroy my body with bad liquor again. So because that's what it was. It was bottom shelf ship and it was okay, but that's while you get acid reflux, you know. It was that and and the gluttonous eating at the buffets of really garbage, greasy food. Yeah. No, if you get put poorer qualities in your you know, food in your body, think about what happens to your car. Brody, would you dare put what regular? Yes, regular in my car?

You do you have a souped up of car though you got you got one of those, doesn't require it. Though you've got a big super sports car the eighties and seventies, you don't need to I'm making maybe I'm making an outdated reference. Alright, but do you do you understand how a reflux works? Do you know what that means? What the term means? Yeah? When when so the stuff

comes up? Because it's not because you had shitty steak, No, but all the greasiness and the disgusting food, it all comes right, that's the problem because the little flap, and I'm dumbing this down, it comes through the flap, and then it goes into your air hole. It gets in your air hole. Yeah, and you you're a big air hole, so go ahead. Yeah. So what I'm saying is I had acid reflux and I had to go to the doctor, a gastro intrologist, and then they put me through a

battery of tests and then they finally solved it. And that was so long ago. So what year was that? Two? Thou did they loud the finger? They didn't do that. Then that was back. That was just just just for this other telling you. The last time I went to the DOT, I was back in the day, not back in the hey two thousand two, brody. So that was the last time I went to the doctor. So now here I am all these years later. And why am I a bastion of good health? Because after I went,

you know, I got got on my anxiety. You've got nothing coming. I'm not gonna drop sponsors, alright. I'm just what I'm telling you is, first all, thank you for your guidance. You led me through it. And then then I went to the doctor, got a full physical, got the lab test done, got they took my blood, the urine and everything. You wore the ladies panties like I suggested. And then I got my results back and you know what he told me, you're pregnant. Aside from no, I'm

having a food baby, actually herpes. When he got all of it, uh no, he says, you're completely normal. Your blood pressure is normal, your the e k G came down fine. He says, the good cholesterol is high, the bad cholesterol is low, so that's good. He says, you need some vitamin D in your life. So you're gonna sell You're gonna you know that's your own vitamin D. Yeah, you need some vitamin D. So that's about it. I'm a little deficient there. Because he goes, either that or

you go out in the sun. I said, I hide myself from the sun. I said, I'm in the shade. I'm a shade guy. So by the d J booth, you know me under the umbrella, right, yeah, and I put on loads of sun block. I don't want that. So anyway, point is he prescribed. He just said you have just about vitamin D deficiency and that is it. He says, you are normal, you are healthy. Maybe you could stand to lose a few lbs. But other than that, boom, you're good. A little more D, little less lb. Can

you can you imagine that? Prody? I came out as a That's what he said. I'm a bastion of good health. So you need more D is what I'm hearing. A little vitamin D. Oh okay, yeah, So did you talk HM about essence some vitamin D. You should ask them about that. You just you know, you can get orange juice with extra vitamin D and calcium and uh, I believe and then uh you got your milk with the vitamin D. So what are you doing? What are you changing?

Not bringing some some vitamins into my diet natural capsules. So my the larger point here is don't judge a book by its cover. You would look at me and be like, dude, I'm just letting you know that everything came out and checked out. Well. The cause a piece of ship, but it's got a good engine and transmission. I got it. That that was my That was my I'm not gonna say it was my first car. It was my third car. I had a really old Dodge Dart which they don't make anymore. And I'm not talking

about the Dodge Dot for the last seven years. I'm talking about one from the seventies. It was old when I got it, Darties. It was all. Got it for a hundred bucks off old man in my building who stopped driving. He's like, you want it, you have a hundred bucks. I'm like, I'll take it. I think I've talked about this before. The door in open because it was hit. It was sideswiped anyway. So it had a really good engine in it. And it was fast too.

For you know, back then, all the cars were fast, and they did thanks Tracy Chapman and so my father when I would like, Dad, they cause a piece of ship. He'd say. Son He'd say Sonny was like, hey, you know it's a wolf and cheap's clothing. Nobody knows it's a good car, right. I put a nice radio in with a Benzi box where you you know, you pull the radio out and take it with box. I had a handle right that, so nobody could steal your radio.

You would, and then all the dude through it was in the area would walk around with like like a book but it was a radio into their arm like hey, look at my radio, like what what what? And everyone compare the models of the radio. You got to Kenwood six three, six to eight anyway, So I had a really nice radio, really nice sound system, nice engine. The car was a piece of ship. Hundred bucks dents everywhere, right.

I had some street guys pull the dent out. They used like ump, no, they no, it is no they I didn't you know it was. It was a couple of guys stopped me in the red light. They're like, we'll fix that for you. If fifty bucks, I'm like to cause a piece of crap whatever. So so it did. It was they took like a like a hole punch or like like a a spike and they boom put

holes in my car. Then they put a thing with a hook on the end and they pulled the fender out, so the fender, the fender was now no longer dented all the way in, but it had bullet holes in it. So it was awful, I know. But the call was a hundred bucks. Then eventually, well, you know what, after the fact, I was kind of like, I think I want the dent back. What kind of job? Was like a cash deal and it was one of those uh you know, ah, I fixed the car fee with my

friends and I fixed the car. I was like, oh yeah, yeah, we'll take the dent right out. Listen. I wasn't. I was much younger and less streets smart, and more importantly, I don't even think it was fifty. It may be like they went boom boom boom, punched the holes in the thing. I probably had pictures somewhere if I could find the bullet hole pictures, I'll post them if I could find them. But uh yeah, so there's that good. But the color point was you are my bullet holed,

dented seventy dodge dark. But I'm gonna be running for another two hundred tho miles. Baby, that's correct. Don't criticize how scary looks. I'm gonna get some cosmetic surgery, some some stuff from the outside. Hey, I know a guy who can fix your dents for you. If you could get get the guy. Bring the whole puncher. Yeah, bring the whole puncher and the extra fat wul Just who was out of the holes smooth me over. That would

be Boatox. I could get some things done for the outside to get it, as long as I know the insides running. Baby. Speaking of Boatox, did you see they arrested a Florida man. I think last week. Where else would he be from? Right, it's always a Florida. I think Jacksonville. He was uh pretending to be a botox doctor, and then before he would start the procedure, he was getting drunk on four logos in Champagne Class Act Class Act.

So not only was he not a doctor, had no license to perform botox injections, but he was getting drunk before logo. This guy, I'm I'm thinking now that I think about the story, he was the dent fixer of botox people, you know what I mean, Like the guys who fixed my dent. He's that he's he's the equivalent for botox doctors. That's great, Yeah, go to him, a big deal on it, got a good deal. You know.

At the end of the last podcast, I left you on a cliffhanger, and I told everybody on this show that that I was that you were gonna be piste off at me and I and rightfully, so you made you wouldn't tell me for the whole week. Nope, I know you try to texting me. I know. I asked you and I called you the other night. I texted you. You up, You're like, yeah, like ten thirty. I said, why what what am I gonna be mad about? I'm not telling you, which made me more mad. So I've

saved it for right now. And the slices me you know what, They're gonna take your side right away, all right, Well, and it's all so it's also gonna be a slap in the face of of our brand and our show. Upset. Alright, I'm already So when I was on vacation with my girlfriend. On the last day, we're packing up to leave, and obviously we had to choose what are we wearing on the airplane So my girlfriend pulls out a Brooklyn Boys podcast tank top. I love it. No, the Navy one

with the white big fan. She does. She says, I think I'm gonna wear this. And I said, oh yeah. There's a lot of people from New York here in New Jersey and in Florida and here we were in the Bahamas. Uh, and they're gonna be all be on our flight back to New York. Yes, so I said, I said, you know, Robin, you did not. I said, why don't you? I said, listen, I do not make any decisions on what anybody wear but myself. Okay, my girlfriend is free to wear what she wants. She's her

own person. I never never hit her over the head with a club. If you never metal, I never metal in her outfit choices. Ever. She can do whatever she wants. I don't care what I offer. It wants to put on a tank top. Number one, she's gonna look great. Number two, she she knows how to rock that tank top. Well, she actually makes that tank top look good. That's how great. She looks in it. Very bad for a minute. No, But okay, so so did she wear it? No, she didn't wear it. She was I'm just gonna put on

a regular old shirt and the reason slapped you. I'm gonna we should I'm gonna call her. The reason why I didn't want to her to wear it is because I didn't want to attract attention. So if somebody were the crowds of people Brooklyn Boys, I didn't know I was a friend. You know. It's one of those things where I'm like, we're on our way home, it's a Sunday night and this COVID everything the airplane. You know, that's not that you were embarrassed. You thought it was

goofy to wear the logo shirt in public. Wear the shirt and everyone my family wears it, everybody wears I I've got you know what I happened to be no joke. I'm wearing the Brooklyn Boys blue and white T shirt right now, but right now, and I wore it on you know what. To prove it, you can look at today's what's today's date, Today's the April Wednesday. You could look on the at Elvis durand show. Yeah, you'll see you go ahead and look at the fifteen minute morning

show from today. I represented I wore the Elvis durand I'm sorry. The Brooklyn Boys shirt on the Elvis Durand podcast. You know, there's something about just oh Man being out places and then saying, I'm going to wear the logo to the show, my own show. And then it's almost like I wanted that attention, right because if I'm if rob was wearing it, but if she was wearing that shirt, and then they would and they see me with her and they're like, oh my god. So it's not that

I don't want to be recognized. It's nothing don't want to meet people because you know me, I'm the king of like shaking hands and kissing babies. Yeah, well you should wait till they get older. A little a little disturbing there, but no tongue you are. You are awful today, Brodie's deble. It's an awful thing for you to say, making jokes like that. So but don't you see a little bit of like whoa, No, I have no shame, none, but you will mind the shame. Never minds a shame

because I don't think it's shame with you. I just I think that it looks like we're I'm begging for attention. It's like, look at me, look at us. We're the I'm the Brooklyn Boys. Guy. Have you have you never like, uh seen anyone like construction guys wearing a shirt that says like Tony's construction the way that right? You ever going to home depot and the guys wearing like Sal's Plumbing. It's got it's a blue shirt with white lettering on the back of the phone number, right, and and they

drive their own plumbing truck to them. That's when they work. That's part of their uniform. No, that's something there they're going. They can change their shirt. They want people to see the shirt and go South Plumbing. Yeah, but they were all in the club. They're all in there. When I say club, they're all they're going to home depot together. They're all in the same mentality. Seen a guy with a contractor shirt or a union shirt in the supermarket.

You've never seen a firefighter with an FDN. Why this was different. We were on vacation and we were boarding a flight, and we were walking through the airport and maybe you know, now that I think about it, I was probably have you ever seen a girl wearing like a high school cheerleader's shirt, like, oh, like Mad Mustang's cheerleading, like, oh, that girl's cheerleading. Yeah. I just feel it's a little different. I don't know, but I want you to tweet scary.

Coming tweet scary and make that matter. But let them know that you wear your company stuff. You wear the stuff you're proud of. You should have been like, and I do wear the Brooklyn Boys stuff. I love. I love our merch although you know what it reminds me of.

Do you remember we had a we had a we had a coworker on our morning show No names doesn't matter, and uh, he was in a snowstorm at a rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike and he happened to be wearing his Z one hundred, which is our New York radio station one hundred hat, and the news crew was interviewing people like remember this, let's get your opinion on the snowstorm. And they were like excuse me, Like, hey, do you working see one hundred? He's like, how do

you know you're wearing that? And he had the jacket with the logo on the back, so they were right up to him. Yeah. I mean, you know, you never know. I just feel like coming back from vacation, I'm not something I'm not proud and and by the way she she could have over ruled me and said, you know what, I'm wearing this ship of course, but she's she's like and I'm like, I like, you do what you want, but I don't know. And then she's like yeah, she goes,

all right, you're right. I kind of persuaded her. I'm like, yeah, I suggested it, So whatever you want to talk to her, that's fine. I feel and I feel like the slices will all like throwing shooting little daggers at me right now, yelling, yelling at their uh, you know whatever the devices segway, then I'm gonna segue into saying hi to T Daddy t sst Troy.

Well that's all that's all

If yeah, So I think there must be some kind of like COVID warning on episode one seventy people are social distancing from it. Can't figure this out. One sixty nine. Huge numbers, huge numbers, one seventy one already twice the numbers listener wise is one seventy once heaven, he's just sitting out there. I'll tell

you why we released it. We released Yeah, I'll tell you why. We released it on a week where it was a big vacation week for a lot of people. Hey, by the way, that we were we did Monday. Yeah, it was after Easter and a passover, and I we were on vacation. I was out of town. I was busy telling my girlfriend not to boys tank top. Yeah, and you were in your basement where you've been for about thirteen months now, which, by the way, yeah, really cold.

When are you coming out of your basement? Brody? We gotta get together, We gotta we need a Brooklyn boys hang. You know one thing I gotta let everyone know now, And and this is pissing me off to no end. Is that because I get these d m s and you don't see these, Brody. I post stories on my Instagram about all the food that I've been eating, all the places I've gone healthy scary. This is the unhealthy scary.

I think what I did was I celebrated the health by being completely unhealthy, by going out every night and eating steaks every night. Wherever I go, the Rodizios, these places, and people dm me, Brodie is gonna be upset? Yes, oh my god, did you invite him? And you know what, I tell each and every one of them, and they'll tell you to Brodie. Brody has been in his basement for thirteen months. If I invited, if I invited Brodie out to where I am right now, he would decline.

He would say, nope, I'm not coming. Hold on, here's the thing, though. You go out with thirteen people, right and you and you eat indoors. That's how I go out, and that's how you roll. I get it. I get it. I go out now with my family. Right we went, I went. I'll tell you that where we went to the night. It was fantastic. We sit outside because that's what I'm comfortable doing right now under a nice heat lamp. Right it was it was seventy degrees. It was beautiful out. Now.

If you said to me, hey, Brodie, why don't we go to the steakhouse. We'll sit outdoors, you and me, just us, nobody else around that you're not you're not familiar with. I'm in right. But the scenario that I'm setting up right now and I'm explaining is I'm painting a picture of what the list, just like they keep d m me and saying, invite, Brody, invite. It's because what you're gonna decline for seventeen different reasons. You know what's gonna happen, and slices, you know what's gonna happen.

We're gonna go with six of Scaries buddies, sex on the way, Dave, uh, you know my my my buddy, This my buddy, that my buddy, all of all the buddies. Right then the bill is gonna come eight people are gonna chip in for nine because Scari is gonna go, we got this, Brody. And then Scary's gonna pay an extra five dollars cover my dinner and then say he

brought me steak dinner. That's what you're gonna do. Plus if I want to pay for it now, I'm gonna pay for your buddy, Will your buddy, your buddy, Tolly. That's how we roll. We split the bill evenly. You know, I don't know. These guys are gonna These guys are gonna crack your skull if you tell them any different, right, which is why I don't want to go out with those guys. I like them, I like all your friends. I'm not going out drinking with your boys, especially on

a weeknight. I don't know what you're doing on a weeknight drinking Taco Tuesday. Last night, damn it, you didn't even have tacos. Yes we did last night, we had tacos. My story's still there. I have to take a break because what was it Monday night? Scary likes to text me, right, or tell me he's going places. You guys will have these friends, right, they tell you something, they assume, you know, like I'm going to out that guy's house. You're like, what guy? So Scary says, hey, I can't talk now.

He texted me. He texted me, and he says, I can't go out now. I'm going to Fernandez something like that. Fernandez a very famous steakhouse in Dzo in Newark, New Jersey. Never heard of it, So I don't know what Fernandez is. I don't know if that means he's like going to get his call fixed over at Fernandez called place I don't know Fernandez is, and three people by the way sidebarred me and be like, Brodie, guess what. No, he

doesn't me. No, no, because because you got all of the above, because he uses to split the bill evenly with people. Hold on, nobody would go out. You don't want to. You don't want to split the bill evenly when they drink a hundred dollars each young liquor. But that's not my problem. But I'm telling them the slices why for all of them, Brody has eleven reasons why he would never be there, So don't ask me eleven reasons. It's Tony, it's Will, it's David. He doesn't want to

be around. He doesn't want to eat indoors. He doesn't want it. He doesn't want to be around several people. I'm not there yet, Okay. He doesn't want to split the bill evenly or even you know, or he wouldn't count the state did the free steak dinners and everybody, everybody, we're not gonna we're not gonna talk whatever. There are other things that are more important that I want to talk about. Well, first of all, we got to talk about what we spoke about at the top of this podcast.

People like, whoa, what was that cold open you guys did? And you guys talking about pizza so and and by the way, and the next episode of the episode after, we're gonna have the CEO of our friends at the I think it's next week. The thing the beauty of having this guy on right is that scary says to me. I got a great idea gonna reach out to the Slice app because our slices we talked about pizza. Let's see if they're familiar with our podcast. Maybe we want

to work together. Shan's the guy up? Tell him scared what happened when you when you hit the guy up? His name is Elier. Yeah, he's from Staten Island. We're from Brooklyn, I said, I said, be my friend on LinkedIn. Please. You're you have a thing called the Slice App. Okay, our fans are called our fandom is the are the slices? I said, your website is Slice life dot com And I said, fright said, we have a pizza in our logo. I said, please just talk to me casually. This isn't

a sales pitch. I'm not a sales guy. I'm not a sales guy, right, I said, So I spoke to the dude. All of a sudden, we start talking about baseball and pop culture and stuff that, you know, living parallel line morning show like you guys, so I said, dude. So, so we just had this like we almost did our own. It was almost like we all had a little Brooklyn Staten Island Boy podcast right there on the zoom call and it was just the two of us. And he goes,

you know what, I like you. I said, I like you too, And we just had so much in common. We even know the same people running the same circles. Let's listen. He goes, we'll well, we'll talk and and and they made it a reality and boom, boom boom. They are the official sponsor, uh a sponsor. You know. This is like these are like friends getting together and they're more it's more like a partnership. Partnership. So, so

here's here's what. First of all, this app, the Slice app, it is it's not just an app, right for like, oh, I'm gonna order pizza tonight, I'm gonna use this thing. It's it's beyond that. So uh, it's first of all, what it does is it lets you use the app to order from was it thousand independent pizzerias in the country. This is the the important port thing to know is it's not just this isn't just the livery appy these people, they are actually empowering local pizzerias around the country so

they can compete with the big boys. Right. So if if you're if you want to help a local business out that doesn't have the technology to have a website and an app and everything, and you're like, oh, you have to call them when it's busy answering the fallon and they got hold on. Yeah, this app lets everybody be technologically advanced now, right, And they don't take a huge fee like a lot of apps do. They take very little mindy. In fact, they've saved these these little guys,

these pizzerias, over two fifty million dollars in fees. So let me do. Let me tell you what I did tonight. I want to share this. I wanted to I want to read the description. So, uh, if you think that the Slice app is just ruding pizza, it's not. I uh did a search in my area for who uses the app. One of my favorite restaurants Slash Pizza Places. It's a Italian restaurant, make on a pizza oven. They're on the app. So I ordered tonight from Bella Gente

in called well, New Jersey. Okay, not only did not right? Not only did I get Margharita pizza. Look, you know you guys know him Picky, right, you guys know I don't want Parsley, I don't want onions. I'm always difficult, right, So whenever I call Bella Gente, I have to explain to them, listen, when you make the thing with the thing, I don't want the other thing and the whole thing. Using the app, I ordered the chicken allah Valda Stana.

Here it comes scared ready chicken breast stuff with fontina and prejudo, with sautep mushrooms and peas and a pink sauce. So here's what I did. So that's It's a pizzeria restaurant. So I used the app, the slice app. It pulls up their menu right because it shows me like everything, and I ordered that and then it says special instructions and I put in no peas, no mushrooms, and I would like cappellini instead of the vegetables because it's served

on a better fresh vegetables. Okay, then I ordered a margarita pizza your basic right because they have a h The pizza in there is great, but I wanted it. My daughter wanted uh, it's like tomato sauce, right, so I wanted it half pesto sauce for her and I wanted in half with a sausage for me. And I'm gonna post a picture of it later, I think on

Instagram it'll be like maybe when you see it. And so rather than explaining it, because how many times do you order pizza, will you go, hey, I want half this, half that, and they get it wrong. In the app there's a full circle, a left semi circle, and a right semi so I was able to say on the right, I want this, I want sausage. On the left, I want but if I wanted to add shrimp, I could then put the shrimp on the right. I can put the tomatoes on the leaf. It's so customizable. It's so cool.

They really figured this. I actually belt down to you because you figured this damn thing out. How people order to normal pizza orderer. Then it's great. You can do you can just order a slice if you want that. You can order buy the pie, you can order the food. You can't do that with a lot of these other guys. So and they arranged for the delivery, or you can pick it up. I chose to pick it up because

I was driving by the place. That's why when we say, you know, they are the Slice is the largest network of independent pizza rhas in the country. There there we always say shops, small, shop local, right, you know I've been preaching that since the beginning, Yes, since before the beginning of the pandemic. Well, this is a perfect example

of that. So even though they're you know, slices a huge network, they're just putting all the people together and they're giving these local businesses the tools that they need to succeed. In fact, here's some intentive for the Slice for all you slices. Um they have a rewards program. Uh. They launched this on their every every time you So here's the thing. You order fifteen dollars or more, you get a pizza point. Okay, fifteen as more get you

I don't have my pizza just yet because I was like I was napping earlier. I'm next week, you bet, you bet your ass. I'm gonna have some artichoke pizza here

And then you know, you know, we're gonna be talking about these guys and next week we're gonna have earlier on because he's a really fascinating scary that I mentioned the chicken breast stuff with fontina and put you already did. Thanks, I didn't invite scary that time past. And uh, you know what, we were talking about food a little earlier, you think, right before we went to break. Uh, so I wanted to I want, you know, I have I get piste off with Facebook people. And so somebody

was on Facebook and they asked for help. Let me let me pull up the exact Facebook post, and you know they they wrote, Hey, anyone know where I can get a good strawberry shortcake? Right, preferably from a bakery, not a super market. Okay, preferably yeah, preferably a bakery. And then shure, I don't want to order from a supermarket. She's I want to get it from someplace I can buy the day of right, I don't have to custom order it. I don't want it from a supermarket. Where

it's been sitting there for dad too. And I know, I know supermarkets have have fresh stuff, but this woman specifically said looking for a good strawberry shortcake, not from a supermarket, looking for a bakery that makes a good strawberry shortcake. Okay, that seems like a fair request. I would say, Hey, I know you said you don't want to order from a supermarket, but they really have good short strawberry shortcake at shop. Write hey, have you tried

Whole Foods? Hey? So I can recommend some bakeries. I can't think of any right now? Have you tried stopping shop? Did? They in their minds are being helpful. They're being helpful. They're being helpful. That's not helpful. The woman in her post, she's said, Hey, um, I don't want to order from a supermarket. Do you know a bakery. Can you help

me out with a bakery? No? They don't know, they no, because but they feel the need to respond anyway, So they're gonna say dead, go to Whole Foods right right, So that's not helping anybody, I know. But people don't follow instructions. But you know that, I mean, this is at the beginning of time. At this entire podcast is

based around people that don't follow instructions. If you think about it, it always boils down to that, doesn't it From the in the grammar world, and you know people complaining, you know with you all your customer service issues, it's all it all boils down to people not following instructions, people not paying attention, people hearing selective retention, remembering only certain pieces of the past only you only want to hear certain words in a sentence, and then you're just

gonna form your own thing or you're gonna do That's how people are in general. People are we're we're we're we're born this way man, Like Lady Gaga once said, did she okay? So here's another one for you. Uh, there's a young a young drummer, female drummer that I follow on TikTok and Instagram. She's fantastic, and so she said, see if you can figure out what song what shes?

What song am I playing? Because you know, Johny playing the drums right, and the drums don't really always have the melody, so you have to kind of figure it out right. So it's like do doom doom Doom do right? So you know, were you just doing the drum fill from in the air tonight from Phil commin to Doom to Do? By the way, have you seen the uh the video asking why the did doo did doo do doom dodo of the Daily Double is the same basic pattern as the Yeah, oh, I never noticed it. But

it's a higher pitch. It's a higher right, Yeah, that's the double right, the Daily double. So this person says, can you figure out what song I'm playing? So in person, this person writes, damn, I heard of it, but can't remember. Once again, don't know the answer, but feel the need, feels the need to respond anyway, I heard of it, I heard of it, which doesn't make any sense. I heard, I heard of it, but I can't remember. Hey, nobody gives a fuck, right, nobody cares. The question was what

song am I playing? I'm gonna post that I don't know, but I've heard of it. How can you even say you've heard of it if you don't know the song? Yeah, I want partial credit. They want partial credit because they want to be like, no, no, I know it's something, I know it's something. Yeah, it's a song. Dumbass, dumbass, Uh. Then someone I follow on Instagram, someone who's from not

originally from New York. So, let's New York City, not originally from New York City, and but she lives in Manhattan now, right, So she puts a video up and she films Manhattan. Right, She's, um, oh, I know where you're going with this one. I see this all the time. She see films Manhattan and it says NYC is my favorite, but don't worry, and then she scrolled the camera pans to the right. She says, I also love Brooklyn. Oh. Plot twist for those well, I don't know, scared. Do

you know why I'm upset? You better know why I'm upset. She was in Jersey. No, she was in Queens. Scary, I'm gonna read it again, and y C is my favorite because Brooklyn it's already part of it, thank you. I thought she was gonna do that thing where people film the New York City skyline and they're clearly either in Queens, Brooklyn or New Jersey and they'll be like, I love being here in Manhattan, in the city, and like, no, you're not. You're in New Jersey, you know, because we

do that a lot here. Because I live on the water and we kind of you know, how do you how are you in Manhattan if you're filming the skyline? But anyway, she's Brooklyn is part of New York City. Yeah, of course. Yeah, that the other issue. So when I pointed it out, she's like, oh, really, yeah, you should probably know that you love New York City so much, you should know there's five parts of it. It's not just Manhattan. She was specifically referring to the barrow of Manhattan.

But right, she should say I love Manhattan, I also love Brooklyn. I'll give her a pass on that one. That's like saying I love scary but I also love his arm. Basically what she said pretty much, do you want to hear about how the blood workplace at me? Yeah? At me? And then followed up with a with scaring the hell out of me? So let me see if I can find this scary email. So I go to a blood workplace to get blood work done, because that's what you do for my check up, you know, they

want to they want to check your blood out. So I go to this place and they have like an iPad, will you check in right? And so you put your information in and it says hello, David Brody. Whatever. Right, Okay, so there's a TV set on the wall and it shows your name when you check in, right, it says deep Brody on on the thing. It's like it's a bowling alley, like in you're lane, it's your turn to bowl. And how long before you're ready to go? This says Brody,

fifteen minutes. Now there's two other people in the waiting room with me, and one of them has got three minutes, one of them's got seven minutes. Maybe I assume those people are there, but uh, they go and now I'm I'm seven minutes. You're on the board five minutes. Two people walk in, they sit down. Two more people walk in, sit down, She comes out Johnson, they get up, they go in like that's weird, right, So then more people come in. Now I'm a three minutes. It goes back

to five minutes. Huh, that's kind of strange. Then two more groups of people come in. There you're all see in the same doctor. There's no doctor, just some a bunch of phlebotomists. Blood suckers, right, they just next they take your blood. It doesn't matter whoever is ever next right. So now a couple of people come in, she's Smith. Smith goes in. Now I'm back. It's just seven minutes. Then I'm eleven minutes. So she comes out. Everybody in the little waiting room is gone but me, and it

now has me back up to eleven minutes. Now, okay, I'm the only one there. Somebody else walks in, sits down after they logged in. They didn't even log in, they just sat down. She comes out, She says the name, and they can go in front of me. I'm surprised you were a patient for this long. I mean I would have been. I was only a patient in the sense of being up patient. So I said, excuse me. I I don't I don't want to be, you know,

rude or anything. I said, but I registered like twenty minutes ago, and it's said eleven minutes, seven five three, and now it's back up to eleven. All these people are coming in, Um, is something wrong with the computer system. I just I'm trying to figure out, like how long I'm gonna be. I gotta pick gotta pick my daughter up at some point in school and says, oh, these people all had appointments. I said, well, why aren't they in the system? Then, why why aren't they on the screen? Oh,

they made appointments online. Well, how many more people are online? I don't know. Oh my god, So I said, then what's the point of the board. Why are you telling me? Three minutes? I texted my wife. I'm like, I'm out of here in three minutes. I'm I'm gonna get my blood work done. Three minutes. Okay. So finally I get in, I go into the back room, just sit in the chair. And even though I've been there, I don't know fifteen times before. Sorry, I need your medical card and I

need your I D right, I said, nothing's changed. I gotta enter it again. This woman was, I know, in her seventies. I'm only pointed out because she was a little slow and a little snippy towards me, a little shaky with the needle. No, well, I'll get to that. So she's sitting down at the little table there with the computer and she's typing, and she's type like you know, like this, like that, right, And so she's entering the information and uh so I'm entering it, and I see

she's like she's tapping the table like she's upset. So I made a joke and I said, hey, you're feeling extra painless today, right because you know I'm not looking at I had already got my first COVID shot at that point, and so I'm like, you know, my arm's still a little sore from the COVID shot like four or five days ago, whatever it was. I said that you're feeling extra gentle today, and she turns to slow burn, turns to me, and she says, I'm having a problem

with the computer right now. I have to restart everything and re enter all the information. So I wouldn't talk to me right now if I were you, because I'm feeling kind of annoyed. And I say at me, no at this. She said, dang at this dang computer. And I said, okay, look anything now right she's doing all

the information informations. I'm gonna need your driver's license back, please, so I give it back to it was it was like watching the clock go from three minutes to five minutes and minutes of eleven minutes in reverse, and so halfway through she goes, odd, darn it. So I'm I thinking, I gotta get out of here. I've got to leave this woman's gonna stab my eye with the needle. And I said everything, okay, well wait okay. I thought I was gonna have to start again, but it didn't, it

didn't refresh. I'm safe now, we're good. Only you Brodie. I get so, I get her, and I don't say a word. I don't say a word. I just say, hey, um, here's the best vein on my arm right here, and I go. I don't, I don't say anything. I don't think about being gentle. Nothing, your your your whole body is a vein. You're very vain. Yeah, I think she must have hit anywhere, hit a bone? Are you kidding me? I don't know. I don't know what she did. But what did you get this on sale? Is he gonna

coupon for this place? Where are you going? It's the place I normally go. But I got a woman who like must have come out of retirement, you know, to help out hold on. Unbelievable. Now I know why the clock kept going back up, because they're like, oh, we're gonna bang these patients out in like seven minutes. Oh as morale is working today, better make it eleven again. Crap, And so patients with them did you know, first of all, she had a needle. Never with a woman who's gonna

jab a needle in your arm. No, it was very nice as sweet woman. It was just a computer put her in a bad mood, demand a free pint of blood on the way out. Hey, we're good, We're good. We spile of blood. I said, do I get in a lollipop or anything, or um the lorange juice or something, And she says, I got a sticker, says I got my shot, as I'll take it. So I took the sticker A little panda says I, I gave blood good,

So I got that good for you. But yeah, so between the clock going backwards and heard going backwards, it took forever to get blood. Did you do your blood work yet? I got my blood work. I told you at the beginning of this podcast. Was it a better experience than this than Esmeralda? Whatever? I actually get really queasy when I when I queasy, baby, when when I

they take blood. Apparently that's what happens is your I had to lay down and I had to have a couple of water, and I had to sit there for ten minutes because what it ends up happening is your body goes into some kind of shock. The loss of blood makes your heart slow down, and when the heart it slows down, you start to feel light headed. And that's just but that's just a physical reaction, all right. So he I want to just follow up with one thing.

So I want to tell you. It's Quest Diagnostics where I got my blood work. Oh my god, I use the same place. Yeah, well they're one of the biggest places right there. It's a chain, right, Okay, it's a chain. It's like him drink right. So here's where I got. I got scared out of my ass A couple of days later. Um, I have an email address that I only use for doctors, right, like for medical stuff, Okay,

And this way it's all in one place. So any correspondence with doctors, I have just this email address that's all use it for. Okay, this way, I don't get it. I don't lose it and spam whatever. So I opened up the email address on my phone and the headline is Quest Diagnostics. That tells me who sent it, and under it it says it's colorectal cancer. What. So I see that, and I'm thinking, what I gave them blood work. Why would they? Why would they? Now, first of all,

everyone slices. I'm fine, I'm fine. It's there's a happy ending here. Don't get worried. Why would you nurse give you the happy ending? Why? Yeah? Right? That not you know how long I would have taken. Now I gotta start over again. Okay. So I'm like, they wouldn't tell me I had colorectal cancer in an email. I open the email and it's the actual headline is It's Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Okay they did that on purpose. So you you open the email, that's a scam. That's that's

a scamboni. That's a scamboni. That is such a scamboni. You know what that is, Sami, that's a that's a cancer bony Like, that's that's not right. It's like the time that I got that hand it looked like handwritten on loose leaf paper, uh, you know, on on on the letter. You know I got it. The was it the snail mail the brain my heart still slow from my fucking blood with no on the front of the envelope. It was like looked like it was written in pen. And then I'm like, oh, Who's who is this person?

I opened it up and it was on loose leaf April with the handwritten um, and I'm like, I'm reading through the note and the guy who wants to buy my house and like I'm a real estate agent, and then the house is worth money. Go fund yourself man. Yeah, making it look like somebody, making it look like somebody. That was another scam bony. No, no, because they have to use every tactic in the book now because they

know people are too smart. So by putting that right there up front in the email coll rectal cancer in the subject line or near it in the near the first couple of lines subject subject line, then there you go. Then that is that's a scamboni the just open it up. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, they try and retrick in the book. Now. So have have you watched the New Lawn Order yet with the Chris Maloni no organized crime? Oh the one? Yeah, you

know I heard it supposed to be good. Yeah. So I love Chris Maloney, so, um, I was sad when he left Law and Order. And so they had a two part A couple of weeks ago they had a two part episode. Well I thought it was a two part episode and so part one was I'm gonna a nine o'clock it was SVU and he shows up, no spoilers, okay. And then when the episode ends, it's the same day and it continues a minute later in Law and Order Organized Crime. Okay, So it's as if it was a

two hour episode. Does that make sense? Yeah, And they were just trying to get the carry over audiences that attacked there, okay, okay, right, carry over at right? Okay, So they swindled me into the two part episode, that's fine. The first the first episode, A S for You looked like they filmed it around April or May of last year. Why do I say that everyone's wearing No one was

wearing masks. April would have been wearing masks. No, No, because that's when like they were saying, there's no masks prior to mask right, and plus they could have made it look like it was filmed prior to the pandemic. But there were like people, a couple of people in the background had masks. And then they referenced someone ends up in the hospital. No spoilers, and they're like, oh not, the only one person can go visit them because of COVID rules. Okay, but nobody, none of the cops were

wearing masks. Nobody's wearing a mask. Okay. Then the episode ends, and then it starts the next episode, and the next episode, which is the same day, same time of day, same city. It looks like they filmed it four months later. Now everyone in the backgrounds wearing a mask, some of the cops are wearing masks. Almost everyone's wearing a mask. Ronologically,

it was the same day that the timeline. It was like they must have changed the rules of filming and now and now the stars of the show still not wearing masks. Okay, that's fine. So Maloney goes to a school to visit. He wants to talk to the teacher after class. So he sits in like an auditorium at a college. Every single kid in the auditorium spaced out wearing a mask. Chris Maloney sits down, not wearing a mask. So, first of all, I thought that was kind of weird.

He wasn't talking, no reason not to have a mask on him. It's kind of weird. Okay. Then here's where, here's what I had a laugh. Scared you're gonna like this. He goes to this rough and tough neighborhood. He's got to talk to some kids who may have seen something. Right over by the warehouse, they're playing basketball. I know, like six eight kids are playing basketball, and most of them are wearing masks. One of them is wearing his mask on his chin right so his mouth isn't covered.

He they walk up to these kids playing basketball and then they see that the cops there, and the only kid who's not wearing a mask over his mouth comes up, comes up to talk to him. It's like, so that the so what it looked like? It looked like they had filmed the scene like seventeen times to get it right, and he just got so tired of pulling the thing down. He's like, I'll just come over with it already down. So all the other kids are standing out masks on,

and he walks up. He was a problem officer in real life station in real life with continuity, they they would have had their mask on and then they would pull their mask down to talk right right. Take one there was just one of those things where I was like, but here's the kicker. Part two ends on a cliffhanger. We have to watch next week. It's a three part episode. So I'm calling a scambodih Now the show is good.

I'm just saying, they hooked me. They hooked me scary and then here's how they here's that they also hooked me. And it slices. You know what I'm talking about. When you see a TV show and it's filmed in your neighborhood, right, it's filmed, and you're like, oh my god, I know the restaurant, right, unless you're from a really small town. But how much more special is it that if you see something from your small town? So they go to Brooklyn, Brooklyn.

Maloney goes to Brooklyn and he interviews um Chaz Palmentary at the base of the arizontal bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island, right there, right by where we used to live. So I got I gotta kick out of it, and I shouldn't have because they filmed in New York, right, the thing takes place, but Brooklyn. They were in Brooklyn. That the part of New York we like the best. So I was excited. But yeah, so my point is

no continuity. And then the kid walking over copy officer, Yeah, you can help by putting your mask on for the scene and then taking it off. So I'm gonna give him a free I'm gonna give him a free pass. It's fine him. I'm not so much up on the continuity stuff. It's all good. You know, before the break we were talking about continuity issues and yeah, in shows and things. Someone sent through to the I guess they copied the Brooken Boys on it, and if I could

find it, I'll retweet it from the Brooklyn Boys account. Um, nobody has noticed that all those all these years with the TV show Seinfeld, it took them till right now to figure out today. Today was today years old when I found out that Jerry's Jerry's kitchen. You know, He's got the kitchen on the right, and then there's and then there's the door, and then there's the doorway to the hallway. Right then Cramer's apartment is across the way. Right.

The way it's built is a physical impossibility because, yeah, because when you open up, if you were to open up the door, they show you a a schematic of of the lines of how they would have to be drawn, you know, kind of like a drawing what a hallway would look like. The hallway would be a physical impossibility because when you see in other episodes when Jerry's in the hallway, he's got a regular wine hall, you know, a hall with the you know, the two shows on

either side. They've shown you all shots before. If you would now take the cameras inside to his apartment, what will be on the other side of that wall, based on where the door to the hallway is, you know, his front. There would be no kitchen right because it's just because it bumps out, so there's no way you open the door and go to the right, but you literally walk into the sink. But you know what show is the worst and you never noticed it. I'm gonna

tell you now, you're like, all crap. The Brady Bunch. Okay, I ever watched The Brady Bunch. There one of these moments there. The house is a problem. So when you look at the house, the high side of the house is on the left right, correct, But when you go in the house, the high sides on the right where the staircases. When they show from the beginning where they do the opening shot. By the way, if I don't know what network it's on, I please don't tweet me.

Maybe HDTV they did a home renovation so the people who owned the Brady Bunch House put the house on the market. So the people, I think it's h g t V, HDT h GTV bought the house. They bought it. They got the remaining cast of the Brady Bunch to come help renovate it, and they made the inside of the house a complete replica of the old house. They put the cars. Never looked like because obviously you're it's like a nineteen sixties on on updated awful split level house.

And they ripped it out and ripped it out, and they had to raise the right side of the house up because there was no second level, so they had to build a second level on the right side of the house. And they built the backyard and the swing set. They were It's amazing when you because when you're watching The Brady Bunch and you're inside the house, you're literally watching a set, and you're it's a set in Hollywood,

the same way the Seinfeld was just a set. It was just it was a time to change the house and rearrange and rearranged, and they did that nice reference to the music of its era. Uh but okay, so I have to now take notice of this that that it would be an impossibility for that to be like that from the establishing shot. And then how about how about Friends. Friends doesn't have a balcony like that. There's

no balcony on the outside. The show the outside, and if you say the balconies in the back, there's still no balcony. I mean. But in the case of Seinfeld, you were every every every episode, for all those hours you've watched and binge this show. It's always well, they rarely show the hallway rarely. Yeah, but when they do, you notice it was shot in a different place altogether. But also, I don't know if you if you notice this the wall that faces the couch, there's a studio

audience there, there's no wall. Well, that's the fourth wall. There's no wall. They're on a sound stage. I think I think every episode, every show is filmed that way. Brodie, there's no there's no fourth wall. They never show you the fourth wall. It doesn't exist. I'm getting text messages from my girlfriend. This is this is what I deal with at night. Oh you poor thing. Put on tank top. Did espresso store have the chocolate fudge coffee? Well, I

went to an espresso store earlier this week. And by the way, they sponsor, not a sponsor, and a big scamboni, not a scamponi. But they get you. It's you know how once you get an Apple, you get a Mac, you get the Apple ecosystem. You're well, I do, and a lot of people fall for it. Right, we're all in it. Once you're there, you do all things Apple, all things Mac. It's Mac Mac. They really you into their world and it's an entire universe that all works

together in harmony. Well, with this Espresso store, you have these these pods of coffee that are an Espresso specific forms machine the cup, but they're different. They're only even Espresso. Most people use cake cups. Machine have one, right, but the people for people who don't know, the cake cup is a universal thing. And it's like kind of like an open market came at like Scotch tape and became universal thing. And not only that, but different companies make

the k cup pods is a size. Now it's a slang for curing. They call it a cake cup. That's Espresso has its own world. So you gotta get their own coffee. So now they have this chocolate fudge and they advertised but I get to the store sold out. So my girlfriend is following up with me, said, when you went to the espresso store, did they have the chocolate fudge? And I'm like, did she use the flirty font? Yeah? A little. She gave me a little kiss, the little

the cheek with the kiss kissing kiss. Nice. Nice. I I prefer the three or four hearts smiley face emoji with the three or four hearts around it. I like that. Okay, I'm not gonna send you that's warm and fuzzy feeling, all right, speaking to a woman fuzzy Remember that time you tried to est you on day stop it all right? So I need I need you to play. I know you hate this scary right now the slices. No, you're gonna hate this, but you have to have some patience

with me. There's a reason I'm gonna ask you to play this game. Okay. I talked to you about the game. America says, We've talked about it. I post this on my Instagram, right, you see it on my Instagram? Okay, so just if you haven't seen my Instagram at David Brody. Of course, the way America Says works is they put up a question with a blank, what scary focus? What I have? My ring or turn to off? How the fund is my ringing and ringing? I have to call

them back continue it's the government, Okay. What they do is then the possible answers. They put the first letter and then a space as long as the word is if they filled in the space right. So if they if they said name red fruits and you said apple, it would be an A and enough letters for the P P L E. Correct, Okay, But you wouldn't say, like artit choke. I know it's not a fruit because ARTI choke is a much longer word. You know, the art choke doesn't fit there. It's almost like Will's fortune.

So here's the question. I'm gonna give you the letters that were on the board. There was a C you don't have to remember this, a V, a short C word, a short S word, a medium sized W word, a tiny little I word, and a tiny little like three letter I word, three letter A word. Okay. The question is, oh no, the blank machine is broken, so people are guessing. And so what happens is one team gets to gets as many as they can and then when they can't

get me more, the other team can steal. So the first team guest coffee machine is broken, vending machine is broken. See copy machine is broken. Medium long word with with W. Washing machine is broken. Slot machine is broken. And they couldn't get the other two all right, whatever it was. Maybe they got ice, they didn't get slot. So there's a there was. Yeah, there was slot with a S and a couple of letters missing and A and two letters missing, so a three letter type of machine is missing.

So I said to my mother, because I'm watching my mom, I said, oh no they did not, Oh no, they did not. Oh scared they did. Here's the audio, and I want you know cocky the woman is, and how confident the host is? Uh John Michael Montgomery, I think his name is whatever, don't tweet you know what? Here is? Here we go and an s up there. Well, I think we've all experienced this before and we didn't happy about it. But we're gonna go in a We're going to try to a t M. Yeah right. They gave

this woman points for saying a t M machine. Oh no, the a t M machine is broken, so f you, America says, because America says wrong, Brooklyn Boys says, that's right, f you, America says, So I posted that promoting ignorance. Every day I promote I put that on Instagram. And let me tell you something. Every one of us slices was immediately. But let me let me tell you how how well somebody knows me. I want to give a special shout out to Cassie okay, c C C E

C E underscore b RZ okay. So I somebody texted into the Morning Show okay, and they said, hey, it's my son Brodie's tenth birthday. He loves whenever he hears Dave Brodie's name on the show, hold on, it makes him feel special. Love you guys. Now, if you don't listen to Brooken Boys podcast, I know when I do the phone tap, I say, hey, it's day Brodie Pelis in the Moring Show. I said, quickly, right, it just goes by faster. They don't really care what my name is.

That's for the audience to hear my name. But the person on phone tapping, I don't need to say it's David Brodie. It's too long, right, So no problem. But people slices, no, I prefer David, so I wrote back, and I and I said, um, I said, hey, your son is special, great name. Wish him a happy birthday from David Brody. Right, you corrected her without correcting her. Well, so she put it in her instant story a screenshot of this conversation. And by the way, nothing but love

for this woman. She doesn't she's she doesn't have to know how I pronounced my name or prefer it. I just wrote my name back, just like, Hey, David Brodie. That's all because I'm not gonna write Dave, so I wrote David Brodie. So I want to give a shout out to Cassie who commented on my instant story and wrote, did you throw in the David as a polite way of telling her your name isn't? Of course you? But

that's okay, Yes, it's okay. It's kind of subliminal crashy new immediately of course that I probably now look our slices in the smartest podcast listeners in the universe. Now. I was at a homemade heart ice cream place near when my mom lives, okay, and you know, the weather is getting nicer, so I was like, oh, and it's one of those places. It's like, um, it looks like a dairy queen in the sense you walk up and there's like there's people working behind the little sliding windows,

right like the doctor's office windows. It's like a dairy queen. You walk up to the counter, it's outdoor. The line is outside there inside in this little like barn looking place, right, And they have all the flavors scary. All the good flame was cookie dough and erry vanilla. But I'm okay. Now you may not know this, but I've talked about this. You may remember my favorite flavors pistachio and not I'm in pistachio, not that crap A friendlies pistachio. Pistachio rhere,

it's really and it's got a real pistachio in it. Now, look it doesn't have to be green. Ben and Jerry's is not green, but it's you know, that's right. A lot of that is artificially colored, right, but it has big pieces of pistachio. That's the key to pistachio. I here's where I had a problem. On the menu. P I s t A c I O. That's not how you spell pistatio. They left the h out it's c h I okay, so so I said to the girls who are working there in the little booth there in

the house, probably in high school. I said, um, hey, I want to get a maple walnut and a statio. I said, I don't know if anyone's ever told you this. I'm sorry if I'm like the hundred person. But pistachio spelled wrong on the on the menu. That's not a handwritt menu. It's a professional giant sign on the front of the building. Giant sign. Never I've never heard that before, she says. She calls the boss over. She's we'll call him Mike. Hey, Mike comes over. He says, this guy

has an interesting thing he wants to tell you. I say, Mike, I'm sorry to bother you. You know, I just know how you take time out of your day to correct these fuckers. Well, no, I was just telling her, like, I don't know if you know this. I didn't want her to tell the guy in the back. He came out. I didn't ask for him. So he says, what's up. I said, hey, I just want to let you know because he may have paid for the sign, a permanent sign, right,

it's permanent, He says, I didn't getting changed. He says, what apparently the sign has been up for like thirty years? Please crowbody, nobody has ever pointed out now you could eat to take it as nobody noticed. No one knows how to spell the statio or no one's an ask like me. I was just trying to be I'm gonna go with the ladder. No one's an ask like you. I think a lot of people along the way in thirty years realized it was wrong, but they're not gonna

bother you. Would do you take time out of your day? You go, how much time do you have on your hands? Well? I got I'll tell you what I'm gonna get to something that we I talked about two weeks. Now. I'm gonna talk about my tire problem. But someone reminded me I didn't talk about my Amazon problem. That one's a short one. Can I slip that in here? Whatever you

want to man? All right? So I was um in my garage, right, I have a two car garage, and next to my two car garage on the if you're facing my house on the left is five steps and a porch. Okay, the porch is wearing at all my deliveries? Yeah? Oh, mail goes up there ups FedEx. They put the boxes up there. You don't have to sign for it. It's safe put up on the steps. So in my garage um between the two cars are garbage pails, like from the middle of the garage to the front of the house.

This like four garbage pails in a row that divide the cars. Does that make sense? Okay? So I get in my car, which is the driver's side is on the same side as the garbage pails. So the garbage pails are on the driver's side of my car. Okay, between the garbage pails and my car is maybe a foot, right. I put them as close to my car as safely possible so there was more room on the other side

or the other garage. Okay. I get in my car and uh, I'm plugging my phone in, getting the Bluetooth set up, you know, just getting getting ready for lift off. And all of a sudden, I hear boom, and I see a shadow out of the corner of my eye. The Amazon driver is in my garage, brushing up against my car, squeezing between my car and the garbage pails, and he leaves. He leaves my package on top of a closed garbage pail and walks back out of my garage. So I'm like, what the fuck? Who does that? I

get packages on my porch. You don't walk into someone's garage, squeezed between garbage pails and my car and leave the package on a garbage pail. In what world is that? How you deliver a package down to me? Like he was trying to steal some ship from your open garage and then got caught. I think the reason why he'd be going into property, I don't think that's the case. But here's what I was doing at the time. Now. I remember I was voice texting Elvis a thank you

note because Elvis gave us all a gift. He gave us all um mini microphone statues to celebrate the anniversary of our show, right, and there was no card in it. I didn't know who it was from out of the stage did it the company? Did it? It just said happy Happyary. So you had told me that that after that night before that Elvis sent it. So I was like, oh, I'm going out. Let me quickly shoot Alvis at thank you text and let him know, right, So I voice texting this and this is when the guy UM comes

into the garage. So I get out of my car immediately and I say to the guy, Hey, um, excuse me, Hi, can you leave it on the steps next time rather than my garage garbage pail? Thank you? And I was polite about it, right He's ah, man, my bad, my bad. If you're an Amazon driver explained to me how that's a thing. So I send the text message to Elvis, and right after I had send, here's what the text message says to Elvis. I just found out that the

really cool microphone trophy came from you. Since it arrived with no note, I wasn't sure where it came from. Thank you very much. It is a really nice reminder of what a fun right it's been working on the show. What the funck? Excuse me, Hi? Can you leave it on the steps next time rather than my garage garbage pail? Thank you. That's the text message text us sex me back. What are you talking about? That's how I was talking about. Okay, scared you have the music ready? Of course? Okay, so

I've been talking. I noticed late. I know we've been going on a while, but I've I've teased this and I apologize and people get mad about we tease stuff, we don't get to it. So here's what happened. I'm not I'm gonna refer to these. This company is Davis Tire. Okay, you guys can figure it out. Davis Tire. They have locations all over the area. Now I go to two three,

excuse me, three different Davis Tires. In fact, I think I told the story about the guy who tried to fix my flat and I have to cut the super service and they were gonna charge me, and I'm covered the whole thing. I talked about that. Right, they're gonna rotate my tires and they put it up on the lift and they never did any of that. Okay, same place. So my uh my daughter calls me right she's out driving. She has a car, and she says, hey, um, quick question. Uh is it safe to drive on a tire that's

uh very low on air? What I hit a pothole? You had a pothole? Yeah, I said, uh, let me send me a picture. Sends me a picture. I said, come home, come home. I'll put air in the tire. Sometimes it pops off the rim and it loses air whatever. So I get the tire back and I can't get air in the tire right that the stem is broken, that it won't go in and it's leaking air. So I I called Triple A. They put a donut on the car and it's the it's the the passenger rear tire.

You follow me, the right rear tire. So I'm so, I said, you know what, I gotta I gotta go now. It's Saturday night. She was out, So I'm like, who's open on a Sunday that would have this tire in stock? Right? Because I need to tire. So um, I'm sorry. This was Friday night. So I spend the whole day Saturday trying to find a tire, and uh, Davis Tire has the tires. They have two tires, which was good because I noticed the front left tire diagonally across was it

was old enough. It should be replaced now the cause all will drive. This is important. Normally you have to replace all four tires will keep them even both front, both back. Okay, So I said, you know what, I'm gonna buy two tires. I call up the corporate office says this one location that you've never been to, Mr Brodie, They are open on Sundays, they have two tires, will make an appointment for you. Go there. Okay, great, okay.

So I go to this this town that uh I'm familiar with, but I've never been to this particular Davis tire. This cars outside, and I walk in and I see that there's a customer watching television, not wearing a mask. Okay, that's not really the issue. But not wearing a mask it's an issue for you, it's an issue for me. So I'm now I can't sit in the waiting room because there's two chairs. He's in one of them, not wearing a mask. So I'm not sitting there. That's me.

I now. I looked to the counter. I'm second in line, and Terry is behind the counter, big guy named Terry. Terry is wearing his mask on his chin diaper, chin diaper. So okay, now this is not a mask story, I promise you. So I get to I'm next in line, I say, hey, how are you a good? Good? Good? Now I'm keeping my distance whatever, and I said, listen, I need two tires. I have an appointment up yet, Mr Browder, you were in the sitting. It couldn't have

been nicer Terry could not have been nicer. He says, uh, yeah, we're a little backed up today, should be about forty five minutes. So no, al right, not a problem. Uh Can I sit in my car? Yeah, sit in the car and we'll call you when it's when you're ready to pull in. I said, great. So, uh, I go out to the car. I so, and I go back in. I forgot I go back in and go heay, Terry, real quick. It's an oil drive car. I'm getting the

front left and the rear back. I said, you're gonna put the tires both on the front or both on the back. He said, we'll probably put them both on the front. The other two tires good. I said, yeah, they matched that the two tires are good. They match. I got him at the same time. Oh great, yeah, we'll put those on the We'll move the one to the back. We'll put both new tires on the front. Okay.

So I get in the car. I'm sitting there for like fifteen minutes, and uh, some technician comes out from the bay, you know, one of the three bays, and he's yelling at me right like waving me like when you wave somebody like come on, come on, come on, so I'm next, I guess. So I back out of the spot and I I'm pulling around. I'm making like a semicircle and I'm pulling the car like I'm going towards the middle bay. He's waving me, and then he

starts screaming at me. I can't hear him because the windows are down, but I see his face is beat red again. Not wearing a mask, so I can see him. He's spitting human man. So I rolled down the windows, and what's the matter. I drive the car in. You don't drive the car in. I drive the car end, I said. So, I said, hey, man, I didn't know, uh kind of customer? I said, you were waving at me. He's representing Davis Tire. Yeah, so I said, you were waving at me. I didn't know. I'm sorry. I I

thought I was being helpful, scared. We've all been to garages and oil change place where they go, yeah, just or pull it up to the entrance, right I was. I was thirty ft from the beginning of the bay. It wasn't like I was about to go up on the hydraulic lift. I was just pulling a closer to get him a screaming to me. So I don't I say, hey, man, I'm sorry. Now I'm keeping my distance because he's got no mask on. He's screaming, spits flying. So I'm like, I don't want to start any trouble. So I go

back in. I don't say anything. Unlike me, I don't say anything. I said, hey, how long does it take to do the tires? He says, you know what, you probably got about thirty five minutes. You know, because we gotta balance some we gotta make sure the alignment's good. Said so, I said, uh, so they're gonna both go on the front. Heuse, yeah, we gotta move the tire from the front to the back. Whatever He's give us like forty minutes. So I go across the street. There's

a pizza place. I go and sit in the pizza place. I get a text message. He says, you cause ready, oh great, it was like twenty five minutes. My cause ready fantastic. I go back across the street. I go in. I pay for it. He says, you cause outside great, Thank you, thank you. Carry I'm sorry, Terry chin diaper, thank you, Terry still not wearing the mask on his face, okay, so I had to like, did the old were you? Were you double masks with your goggles and your face

fines a, no douche one mask. I just didn't want to. I guess, Okay, he's not wearing a mask. I don't I don't know where his status is. I don't want to know. It's not my I just stay away from me. So as it is. I couldn't sit in the waiting room. So I go out to my car. It's sitting out there. Now it's my daughter's car. Okay, it's not my car. It's my daughter's car. And I look at the right rear tire that was flat. It looks like it's the new tire. It's supposed to be on the front. So

I go, that's weird. Maybe they put them both on the back. I go to the other side. Nope, the front tire, the new tires in the front. They replaced the two bed tires diagonally. Well, anyone who's ever owned a car knows that's not safe. How you do, No, you gotta do. It's too rear or two front? Right. So I go back in and I say hey, hey, Terry, And I said, uh hey, um, real quick the tires on my car. I could be wrong. If you have a minute, there were no customers. If you have a minute,

can you just come over look at the car. I could be wrong. Maybe I don't have a good eye for new tires, but I think the tires are on the car diagonally. Oh we would never do that. Yep. No, I get that. But could you just check it? So he says. He says, hold on, I'll go. I'll go get I'll go get ill Oliver, I go, Oliver. Oh no shit. He he walked in the back. Rather than ask me, he tells the guy who did the tires, the guy who already yelled at me to go look

at the tires. That guy right, I later found his name is Oliver. So I'm standing now about away from the entrance to the garage, by where the cars parked, expecting Terry to come out and look at my car. Nope, the technician who yelled at me comes out from thirty ft away. He comes like like a bull, walking quickly and angry again no mask, screaming, God damn it, you made my job harder. What are you doing telling my boss?

Complaining for you're making my life difficult? So I said. So, I said, excuse me, You're gonna be You're gonna be missing break pads by the end of this story, right, because this guy wants you to fucking fly into a ravine. So he is, I'm not gonna fight with the guy. I'm not looking, if I say, I said, whoa, I said, I just asked if the tires were put on diagonally. I said, because that's not proper. I'm not looking to

get you in trouble. God damn it, fucking shit. And he gets in my car and he drives it into the bay. So now I go inside, I said. I said, no, no, I'm human scary. I go in there and I said, excuse me, Terry. This is what I said. It's bad enough that when I pulled my car in, the guy screamed at me not to pull the car in when he waved me to come in. It's bad enough that he puts my tires on diagonally. But then you go and tell him and he comes out and curses me

and says, I'm making his job difficult. How is that my fault? I should give my daughter an unsafe car? And I said, did you and I not talk about putting them both on the front. In what world do you put tires on diagonally? Your Davis tire your tire experts, I said, And don't think I didn't notice that you're wearing a shin diaper. You told him this? Oh yeah, I said, I said, I didn't say thing about that. I said, I'm human man. So he says, I'm terribly sorry. Sorry.

He puts the mask on his face. He said, I didn't realize it must have fallen down. Scary. It was down on his chin like for an hour. He didn't realize it. Please, So I said, this is unacceptable. What kind of custom services this? I'm terribly sorry. He goes, we'll get your car right away. So they bring the car in. Now the guy's working on my car and he says it'll be like fifteen minutes. No, no, I'm watching him. He's outside the car, he does the tires.

I'm watching him because it's glass on the on the visiting room right. So he gives the keys and I see Terry is in there laughing it up with the guy, laughing it up. He told me he's gonna reprimand him. I said, don't reprimand until I leave but they're laughing with each other. Yeah, he took a dump in your glove box. No, it weren't in the car. So then so then so then the manager, this guy, this manager,

guy Terry, comes back in. He goes here you go, he cause ready, hands me the keys, doesn't say sorry, made me wait an extra half hour like the second time I got yelled at twice, doesn't say like, please come back. Hey, here's a coupon, nothing, nothing, nothing. I'm surprised you did demand free dessert on this one. No. No, So I walk out. I walk out, and I called the corporate office that's where the fund begins. Called the corporate office. They're open on Sunday, So God bless Davis Tire.

They're open on Sunday. I get a very nice one on the phone. I tell the stories is I'm so sorry. You need to speak to Lenny, the regional manager. He will take care of you. This is uncalled for. He will take care of you. I will have Lenny call you Monday morning. First thing I said, haven't call me at ten o'clock because I work in the morning. Ten o'clock, okay, no phone call on on Monday Tuesday. I get a phone call from Mike, not Lenny. Mike, who's Mike. Mike

is the general manager of Davis Tire that location. Mike says, how can I help you? I said, Mike, where is Lenny? The regional manager? Was gonna fix this for me? Oh? He told me to handle it. Really, So you think I called corporate because I wanted the manager of the store to speak to me about your co workers. That's something I want to do. No, no, no, we're very high, high high quality. Well we're well known here and I'm Mike, and I'm okay. So I tell Mike. He goes, you're

kidding me. Oliver yelled at you. Yeah twice. I'm terribly sorry, I said, I said, Mike, where do you install tires diagonally? How is that my fault? Oh? Mr Brody, I'm terribly sorry that it should never have happened. Oh my god. He says, Look, if you want to speak to Lenny, I'm sure I'll take care of you. I have Lenny call you. He says, this unacceptable. We want you to be a customer. Blah blah blah. Again, he's the general manager, doesn't knowre for me? Ship do you get me back? Okay.

Lenny calls me that afternoon. Mr Brodie, what's going on? I had might call you. Yeah, I was told you would call me. Oh I thought Mike could handle it. Uh huh. Do you know what the problem is? Yeah, but if you want to reiterate it, So I tell him the problem he is he was just I said, well, I said, I said, you know what, Lenny, tell me what you know, because when I asked Mike what he knew, Mike said, Mike says, well, it seems it was a misunderstanding. No,

Mike told me. My notes here say there was a misunderstanding with um where you were trying to pull in and you tried to pull the car in and you got they were upset with you for trying to pull the car in. That's what they told you. I spent twenty minutes on the phone dictating the story. So Lenny says that he doesn't know either Lenny. Lenny's only notes were, Mr. Brodie is upset because he got yelled at because he was trying to pull the car in. He Mr Brodie,

you can't pull the car in. I said, oh, yeah, thanks a lot. So I tell him the full story that I just told you scary, and he says, I find that hard to believe. Sir, Wow, he's signing with his own employees, he said, kind of fucking company? Is this right? So? I said, what problems you think? I've made three phone calls because I'm making up some story. He says, I find it hard to believe that Oliver, he's one of our hop guys, would walk out thirty ft yelling at you and and scream at you with

no mask on. I find it hard to believe. You find hard to believe, he said. I said, why am I calling you? The guy yelled at me twice. We have never had a problem with Oliver. He's a great guy, Uh, I said, I don't care. The guy screamed at me once and basically intimidated me like he was gonna hit me. Well, you know, I'm gonna have to review the tapes we have. We have cameras everywhere. We can watch the tapes. Mr Brodie.

But I I really don't. I think maybe you had a bad experience and you know it's I go and you're you're not remembering it correctly. Now I'm human. Now I'm human, he goes, The woman hang up on you? As we said to me, he do I have to hang up on you? Sir? You said you sound I rate. I said, you just called me a lawyer. I call you and tell you your guy threatened me, and you're telling me maybe I don't remember it the right way. I said, you know what, go check your tapes, call

me back tomorrow. I get the phone call the next day. Hi, Mr Brodie. Yeah, hey Lenny. Yeah, we reviewed the tapes at the garage. Yeah and yeah, um yeah, apparently what you said was true. And what end? Where's the end? So, so I was, I said, what's that? Yeah, this video of him approaching you quickly and screaming and yelling twice. And uh, I did check the records. He did put the tires on dagonly. I'm really sorry, So I said, uh huh okay. And I said, and and the and

the masks. Oh, that's a violation of company policy. Absolutely, I should have the masks on, so I said, Uh, I said, you see, I'm a customer of yours for like, you know, long time. Davis. Yeah, he goes, no, no, And we want we value your business, Sir, I said, okay, he said, so I I hope you'll accept my apology. Good, that was it. Accept your apology. Accept your apology. Oliver screams at me for bringing my car when he waved me on, then basically threatens me because I made his

life difficult. Excuse me, I'm driving with diagonal tires from my daughter's car. No, thank you? Where's the Oh, We're sorry, have a nice day. We hope you'll come back, have a good week. Bullshit, bullshit? So so get this? So So I look up online who the big muckety muck is, who the vice president is? It's online. Are you going bigger? You're going? You're going higher than Lenny? Okay, So I speak to a guy, he's the vice president of marketing. He says, you gotta talk to uh to Elise in

customer service. She's in charge of the big problems. She will put you in charge of the the big boss in the with the sauce in the office, the big guy, Lenny's boss. This is unacceptable. I said, thank you, sir. So I speak to Elise. I call Else's office. They said, well, Else isn't in leaver a voicemail. I said, uh, Alie, give me a call back. I said, here's the situation. I had a problem in the store. I didn't get satisfaction. I spoke to the regional manager. They offered me no solution.

So I really would like this. According to so and so, your vice president of marketing, he said, I should ask for let's just say author, So, could you please arrange me to speak to Arthur about the situation? At last? Doesn't call me back. My phone rings the next day, you know, call me back, Lenny, the regional guy. Hi, Mr Brodie, is everything okay? Yeah? Why? Oh? I well, I closed your account yesterday and it looks like it was reopened. Is there a problem? So now what am

I gonna say to him? I tried to call your boss, and apparently it backfired because when you ask for somebody, they give you someone lower. So I was like, no, it's all good, Lenny, I don't know. That must be some kind of mistake. He's are you sure everything's fine? Oh yeah, yeah, everything's fine? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. You hang up and now you call the fucking office again? Right? No, no, Now I decided, guess what, I'm coming to a different

tire because this is some bullshit. You've been defeated, you know what. Even the white flag I never see. I thought you were like, fuck you, and you're gonna go back in and call Elisee back say you know what I was gonna Well, I was gonna call Elie and go what the fuck? I thought I was gonna speak to author, But she's just gonna tell Lenny again. I don't need Lenny the tape checker knowing that I'm checking up obviously this this company is problematic from the top down.

They have issues in their own chain because because this is how they handle all their problems. They you don't you don't defer and deflect to somebody lower than you to solve the issues. Terrible.
