190: Anything Else? Anything Else? Anything Else?

was you cold as a cruise? You know it's a it's a non cruise to nowhere. Yeah, we're hanging with our friends at Norwegian Cruise Line and the morning show. We're gonna have dinner and we're gonna meet everybody and then they're gonna start up. They're gonna crank it all up again because the Norwegian Breakaway is leaving on Sunday out of the New York City right next to the World Miss Intrepid on the west side and and um

we we um, I don't know. We said, oh, we have to do this podcast, but we don't have to. We want to do the podcast, so we got to get one in before we go. So we're here right because we didn't do one last night and a couple of people are upset tweeting at me, go, what the hell's the episode? Yeah, you know what, it's no, I think I want I like the passion, But Wednesday, Thursday, you know you're gonna get get one here in the

middle of the week something. Although now we're towards the end of the week and Wednesday's the middle depends on It's all relative though for some people that people that are off on Mondays and Tuesday's Wednesday's the beginning of the week. It's true. So ah yeah. So anyway, so, uh, we have some things that we wanted to cover today and say, hi, um listen, I may not be able to keep doing the podcast. I hate to break it to you, given I was given a huge opportunity on Instagram.

What what Brody? Did they come to you with the with an eight figure deal here to be an influencer. Guy named Brett Darren. He's an A and R and publishing consultant, former casting consultant for America's Got Talented Americans? All right, he deemed me and said, would you be interested in putting together a girl group? Yeah? I mean, now here's the thing. Is he talking about an orgy or is he talking about a music group? Either way, I'm in So I never contacted him back. But what

do you think? Scary? Should I should? I like? Why me? Why would he ask me? Because I passed? Did you? Yes? He contacted you? Sure did? No, dude, you got my sloppy seconds on this one. I got all these girls sloppy seconds. I gotta find it in Instagram and pull it up. What's his name? I'm Brett. I love these people. They're playing Mommy and Daddy with us, Good Cop, Bad Cop. Well you know I didn't go first. Well, because let's check the date. Hold on, what's his name? I'm searching? No,

what's his Instagram handle? B d A search for b d A D Okay, be Brett Darren. Okay, yeah, I mean that's okay, that's fine. So he writes to me on September, what's the day that yours came in? Brodie, I did a screenshot, So let me go back to my install. You tell me what yours is, and I'll I'll pull up my Instagram and see what day it was. It could have been the same day. Let me say, hold on, I'm scrolling the search on mine doesn't work. If I search for Brett, it'll show me every bread

on Instagram doesn't September, I am okay. Nothing like sitting there after midnight, hanging out in bed or wherever he may be, and hitting up my d M s. Here come the group text messages. Oh my god, stop, So let me just tell you what you would you be interested in putting together a girl group? And I wrote, yeah, copy and paste. I would not know the first thing about it. I'm not a record label. And then he writes, you're in radio, so figured you knew some talent. And

then he gave me the emoji with the shades. Now is he throwing shade or like sorry? Or what is that supposed to be cute when you throw the emoji with the sunglasses on it? I don't know. I got the emoji with sunglasses. Yeah. And then and then um, I wrote back to him, I wish, but it would also be a violation of my contract and a conflict of interest with what I do for a living l O L. Because it's true, I mean, because we work in dude, we never in real life be able to

uh to put together. You just couldn't pitch them to the radio station. You couldn't you couldn't do anything to help them. I was under the impression that we can't do anything in the music industry that would taint or sway and said, you know, you know anything, because then that means I can manipulate the playlist. You know, if this, what if this girl group becomes big, I might have to step aside from my radio job. That's what I'm saying. I don't know about this. I guess the podcast is okay.

It can also be talent searched through the station. Not so much. I love you, Brett. Um. I wouldn't know the first thing about getting together a group, producing a group. I'm not. I just don't understand why he would come to two producers on a morning show, Scooter Braun, Scary Braun, skip me a bo bop. I don't. I don't get it. I'm trying to search. I can't find it. Hold on, all right, well, hold on anyway, hold on, Brett, No, you know what doesn't what it is? Okay? Hold on?

What was your date September twelve? What time. Am Okay, I want to send you a screenshot, Uh, so you can see it. You had it right before me. Twelve. I'm sending it right now so you believe me. Twelve twelve. So you got you got my I ignored him and he hit you up. No, I think I think we're both victims of a blanket text. Well, I gotta I

got another blanket text this week. Let me let me pull up the other one I got this week, and you tell me what you make of this, because I I was it was a little sketchy on my end, because first I got excited about it. I'm like, oh, that's really nice. Hold on this girl group, girl group. Girl group. By the way, if you're a member of a girl group and you'd like to contact us, yeah yeah, well,

uh maybe send us a tape if you're not. That's like that's a guy walking around like he saying, hey, listen, I'm not a guy of collegist, but I'll have a look, right. I gott a M got I got a d M from Mary. I'm not gonna give her last name. She writes, high exclamation point, uh, double space. I want to thank you so much exclamation and point your work makes me laugh every day and brought joy insanity during COVID. Your work work, keep more specific warmth and respect, Mara. So

I looked up Mara. Mara follows me for now Yeah right, Um, she doesn't follow anyone else from the morning show. So somehow she likes only me on the morning show. Right. It's not like she's a Brooklyn Boys fan, because you would have followed you also on the Brooklyn Boys, so I said. So I wrote, Um, thanks for a nice note, Mara. I have a question. You don't follow any of my co workers, so I'm wondering how come how you came

about my work or my Instagram account? She says, Oh, I saw you on Clubhouse wanted to extended thank you. I'm an actress and a producer. Okay, So, so I wrote back, Okay, but I'm not on Clubhouse. I assumed you were a listener to my morning show or my podcast, but you aren't. Forgive me. I often get people copy and paste notes to people in the industry who just want to connect to other people, and that's fine. I was just curious as to what I've done it you'd

like so I can keep doing it? What is it? Exactly I've done that. You like, I have not a response. No, no response. And by the way, you'll get the unfollowed in about a week or show. Let me see if she let me see she follows no more, I'm clicking on her program. The only do it to follow you to get your attention. That's it. Yea unfollowed. Yeah, because you know what, if you're gonna try and disguise it, at least live it. Do better, do your research, do

your homework. No, she still follows me for now. Let's follow up in a couple of more follows. Uh, Colbert Late Show, Daily Show, a lot of industry people, a lot of like industry shows. I don't see any other comics that I that I'm looking at. Not of politicians. We overlap on some politicians. Huh uh No, nobody, nobody that I know. But she follows me, and she's thanking me for my work. But apparently she thinks I'm great on Clubhouse. Well you know something wing on Clubhouse? Who

must be raking it in? Well maybe he's out of the David Broody. Oh can we talk about that? No, I'd rather not that that ruins my day. That can I just tell you. I would like to send a thank you because I had a problem. I had a problem with with two people who sent me vicious hate tweets. Okay, I'm not you can go ahead look on my Twitter. I'm not gonna give them out again. I don't want to start the fight. But one of them, her name was Lydia, okay, and she attacked me, thinking I was okay,

your son of a bitch. She attacked me like a lot like people do when I think I'm the guy. Okay. And then another woman attacked me. Um, and so I wrote, I wrote like six people right because the guy said something that most people would think is stupid, and they attacked to me, thinking I'm him. You guys know the story already. So I emailed everyone back. I tweeted everyone back rather and I said, hey, you know I'm not the David bo. Do you want please delete the tweet?

Thank you very much, have a nice day whatever. Blah blah yep. One woman wrote back no, and one woman wrote back, let meast if I can get it. She said, she wrote not going to do it, and I said, uh, you know, I keep people. People kept replying to her tweet and attacking me I said, hey, listen, gim me a favor. I'm not the guy you want. Please delete the tweet. She wrote back, boo hoo. Wow. So I sent our our hour slices and I said, hey, hey, guys, um you got the army story. Sent the army. She

is the story of a girl. What that's nine days? Right? He said, this is the story all right? Right? Right? Yep? Sorry Brady, Yeah, exactly, And so a bunch of our story of my life. Very loyal listeners like Christopher Travers went after her hardcore just vileness. I love it when the slices rise up. Oh, they rose up. They got very very upset at this awful woman because I asked her nicely and and she would not delete the tweet. You know what, fuck her, suck her. I'm sorry. I

don't mean to to spread hate. It's not the Brooklyn way. You say, which felt the tractor attactor show, the Coco show, the Cocoa show, the Coco attackeder that a drug reference solo suet attacked her. But I'm looking. I want to see if I can find like one of the really violent violent on our end. Why didn't you just ignore her? Why does it bother you No, I wanted to Christopher Travers. No, no,

the people who stuck up for me. Boo hoo, bitch, you're getting someone involved that wants nothing to do with your dumb ship and propaganda. You're fucking lame. You kept at David Brody and you tweet again Cloud You're a bum. This is probably the most Twitter feed has had in months. I you to the person Mike Milk Milk manager, Hey, don't have what our Brody tweet? Who you actually are? Not so fond of you, jackass? Damn it, you're a lot more so, I apologize I didn't get to all

of your hits. Just keep on coming. Yeah, yeah, so what one woman who said no? The other woman she immediately said, my mistake. I didn't realize. I didn't. She took it down after she said no. She didn't realized. You know, Jason Curly, thank you very much for your for your hate love. You know what I love so much about us, about about our podcast. But we always know how to start on such a positive note. And there it was, Oh would you like a positive note?

I'll give you a positive note right after this, because I was gonna drag us down. I was gonna bring us right back into the mud because I gotta complaint. Oh I'm seeing them with anger Brodie. But I'll save that. It could be a scary rant for later on. But now we gotta we gotta balance it out, all right. Well, thank you Jason Romana, who I didn't thank for sticking up for me. But I had some good news. You

got you save money in your car insurance. I did so after almost a year of trying to get it done and getting a graphic that was high res enough Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big car Cartel dot com. There you go. You can now purchase a Walker's and Talkers T shirt. Yes, it's right there in the store right there, so have at it. It's a very it's a multi call. It's more colors than one logo than anything the Brooklyn Boys

put together so far. However, we talked about some merchandise land this week on this on this podcast on the Brooklyn Boys, and we have an updoda merchandise And by the way, I'm getting a little excited because we saw some designs for some said merchandise. Team has already worked on some designs and by the way, he created three new ornaments, three ornaments for a Christmas tree, and all three of them I'm in love with. But yeah, and he's going to continue. Um nobody, there'd be some hone.

Uh yeah. Also, I had an idea for a shirts scared. Do you think people would buy the shirt? It says Brooklyn Boys dot big Cartel dot com. Then in big letters, much bigger font, this says that's and then it gives the Brooklyn Boys that big Cartel dot com again. Uh maybe, I don't know if that would sell. Maybe a wallpaper for your laptop. I don't know if that would sell. Maybe a tattoo. I got burned out of twenty bucks over the weekend. I was upset. I had radio music festival. No,

this isn't the rant, This isn't the rant. No, No, the rant is the rant. Happened yesterday afternoon afternoon, and it loved fucking fun. Me over with my food? You know, one who comes between me and my food? Okay, pisses me. I want to lose a finger. So I was at I heard a music festival and we were backstage hanging out at the Warner Brothers music lounge. They do it like a special thing for some of the artists and um, some of the people that are hanging out back there.

And I was, you know me, I like to what do they call old school eighties reference hob nob with the goober smoochers just stole that one guy who used to work Okay, anyway, I used to be basically hanging out with some friends and in radio, and there was a guy and then again judging a book by its cover, um, that's what this story is about. He was standing in the corner, tall, like lanky guy, blonde hair, just had a T shirt on with a giant credential around his neck.

You know. So I'm like, maybe he's probably probably a record guy and he's talking to just one person and no one else is around them. So one of our one of our friends from Detroit I believe, or where were we Chicago? She was like, hey, one of our radio friends. She says, hey, because that's Phineas. Phineas if you don't know, is is the older brother of Billie Eilish helped her. The two of them collapsed on on on her album When You Go to Sleep? Where do

you go When We Go to Sleep? You know? That the smash album that we were playing five songs from, and he had been on stage with her probably about half hours on stage with Billie Eilish with her with bill Billy a half hour prior, rocking his fucking guitar, just just fucking playing like like frenetically with her, like going crazy. And I was there to see it, right in the front and that though. I was. I walked into the pit to see her set and he's going crazy.

Someone's going nuts, right, and then and then and then fast forward a half hour and the dude's in there right, and then she goes, hey, that's that's got that's Phineas. Looks like him, and I'm finish jab. I'm like, that's not like, there's no fucking way that's Phineas. I said that it's faux Phineas. And then and she's like, no, it's him. So she starts googling pictures and images and and I'm like, look, why don't you just look at

the video that I took a half hour ago. So we take my video from Instagram and we're trying to spause it and like look, and I'm like, look, the sideburns don't match. I'm like, that's not him. I'm like, and plus he's got higher cheakbones with her sidebones. He took his sideburns off. And that's so I'm looking. I'm looking, and she's looking. And and now four of us and our friends Spike from the Mojo show in the morning, he was he gets in on it goes, I don't know, man,

I think that's fake Phineas. And then the other girl goes, now, that's Phineas fraud and then I'm like yes, and then she's like, dude, it's got to be him. And I'm like, but look look at the frame. And now we're holding up my phone with the picture that I took thirty minutes prior, and the guy standing in front of us, and obviously the outfit was completely different. And I'm like and I'm like, not a he uh, I'll bet you twenty bucks so that it wasn't, you know, some guy,

one of the guys from put up twenty bucks. The girl decided not to you know again, and I said, no, that's Faul Finias. I said twenty bucks. Twenty bucks says he's fineas and I said, nope, not a shot. Now wait a minute, you're the guy who I convinced some guy in a restaurant was the quarterback of the New

York Giants because he had a blue teeth. Daniel Jones Daniel Jones before but when he first was a rookie, and I'm thinking, that's right, and I'm like, I'm like, you know what I said, I'm not gonna fall for that ship again. That's fake finas So this is partly I'm I'm partly to blame for his story. You are, because I don't believe it anymore. We're not falling for the banana the tail pipe again. Plus, if you think about it, it was thirty minutes ago. And what is

the artists? What do the artists do after they perform the off? They leave? No, they leave because they're finished or they're fineast there, it's it's the f I N finale then done? So a long story longer? Uh oh good? He goes at this right the guy from the radio, wait, hold on, yeah, it's been edited. If you're listening to this right now, we edited this down from thirty seven minutes. He went, he goes over, he goes and he goes, yeah,

he goes. Thank you can take a picture. Sure, click it wass fucking phinny is to explain his sideburns against all odds, I don't know. No, thanks, uh, Phil Collins. I couldn't believe it was just hanging out in the He was just hanging out in the freaking room drinking, no one around him, no security guards, and he was just wearing a ragged T shirt with some jeans, and he had a pass over on him like an actual credential. Well he's Jewish, a credential, he said, pass over a

pass on. Okay, So I just know that, you know, some of yours, some celebrities could just be hanging out incognito, just kind of like chilling, mingling with the crowd, not wearing not trying to be like, I have sunglasses on, I don't have an entourage, I'm not hanging out in the corner. No, he's just talking to people at the bar, hanging out like it was just really cool. Pick phineas well.

Speaking of Phil Collins, since you mentioned Phil Collins, Yeah, if you don't, you should know Phil Collins is, if nothing else for the drum solo in the airtight to Doom to Doom, to Doom, to Doom, Doom, don one of the most famous drum fills of all time. Okay, so I think I told the story about meeting Phil Collins and the close talker who used to work with us, who was rambling to him for like five minutes about every concept you ever saw. I did tell that story.

So when I had met Phil Collins, I guess it was about four years ago. He had like he had a hip surgery and knee surgery, and he was he had lost a lot of weight. He wasn't walking well, but couldn't have been a nicer guy anyway, he's he was in a pace. I guess he's back in the band, but originally was in a band called Genesis, where he was just the drummer, which, by the way, they're saying Genesis is going to tour again and it will be

their last tour. Interesting. Interesting that you're giving me news from a year ago. So Phil Collins was the drummer of Genesis and Peter Gabriel was the lead singer. Peter Gabriel left Genesis for his own solo career in the eighties and Phil Collins was thrown into the lead singer role. And then eventually when when solo, So you know, him from a he has a lot of hits. Well, they're already back on tours, Scary Jones. And the story is he's so frail that he's singing from a chair. So

he just sits in a chair and then the band plays. Now, if you remember about I don't know, yes, uh, well you can't hit the high notes anymore, so he doesn't, and so I can't sing an him aloo boom, I can't stand and him all okay, okay. So if you remember Dave Grohl from Food Fighters also, who was the drummer in Nirvana and then became a singer and lead guitar player once Kurt Cobain died, So so Dave grohld

Phil Collins. Something in common right there, drummers who became lead singers and then and in another career after the first band. So if you remember Dave Grohl had leg surgery, broke his leg or something. He did a whole tour sitting in a big throne. Could not could not walk. Axel Rose did that I think with a C D C.

Sat in a chair. He couldn't, he couldn't run around, So not unheard of, but would you if you were a fan of this band and they're all like seventy at this point around seventy, would you feel ripped off that he wasn't running around and we'd be like, I came here to music, Ah can't I'm singing, I'm singing. I can't dance. I can't sing. But he jokes now during that song this video of him performing in Florida where he's joking about how he can't he can't dance.

So so let me ask you this, what percent of his voice is still there? Is it still there? It's still Phil Collins. So this is the We're cashing in tour? Everyone, Well, this is the good. This has got to be the Gooba tour. I can't imagine he's gonna have much left in him. Spears breaking. You to see Britney Spears lip sinking in a chair, that would be like no good, right, pottery while you go see Brittany or Janet Jackson like you know performers or j low Is to see the dancing.

Like if you want to see j Low in Constant she was in a chair, you would you wouldn't. That wouldn't be good, right? You want to see your butt shaking around carawling on the stage. But Phil Collins is seventy, you're like, no, non, Kevin moves around this amount. I don't know. You know, it depends on how much you love the artist, if you know it's going to be their last stand. No pun intended, definitely meant pun intended,

pun intended. You know, if that was the case, and and this was your all time one of your favorites, I think I I would. I would go to the show anyway, just with lower expectations and really saying this is it is what it is, right. I mean. But if you're like Billy Joel for instance, too, he says to his piano, Well, he can get away with that because that's what he does, right, right, Well, Elton two

years so Billy will come out. Elton doesn't move from the piano for the most he's another one, right, but Billy will come out and play like start start with his guitar and play we didn't start to fire or something like that. He doesn't we didn't start the fire, But yes he did. I saw him do it personally. You can't tell me what I but he did it in the one show he just opened up with that. I've seen the man like he was playing guitar, and

he came in and he played guitar. But he plays guitar for one song and then he goes and sits at the piano and that's where his fatast. He plays piano standing up. He runs around the back of the stay. He's still not Billy Joel. He he walks with a little limp, you know, he does. He's been hitting with a few shells, but he walk You don't walk with a limp. Well, he walks with a limp, hasn't been hit with any shells. But yeah, point is, uh, I could, I could, I could forego I could. I love Billy

that much that I'll continue to see him again and again. However, bon Jovia, on the other hand, I don't know. Man, they bon Jovi was in a chair and fist pumping from a chair, I'd be okay with it. See for me, it's like all right, like for instance, right now, like I've seen I've seen bon Jovi performed in recent years, and he does not hit the high. Now you're talking about the band of the band. Okay, I've seen them perform and John doesn't people call him bon Jovia. That's

everything they're doing. All the songs are slowed down and more melodic, and they're not as they're not as like you know, rock metal edge like they used to, like you remember on the track. So I saw him on the Norwegian cruise line cruise a couple of years and listen to how he performs no offense. I love bon Jovia, I still admire and respect John and everyone, but but when he does live it on a prayer, it just doesn't have that oomph because it's like it's like a melodic,

like slow light light FM version of a song. He's living on a cushioned prayer right now, it's just kind of it's all we're halfway then you can hit the notes he's got. It's not even it's not even as fast or furious or loud. It's a there's no there's no emphasis. And so that album came out, Okay, Slippery Wint Slippery win Wet came out. There was the third album, by the way, I was Living on a prayer that was I was on there. Yep, it's a massive mass.

This problem is just fantastic. I have the original cover with the girl with the wet T shirt and the boob's popping out, and then that was too risky risque for a lot of retailers, so they came out with the road signed slippery Win Wet Yeah. But the original cover google it is a girl in a yellow cut

off tank top with a boobs bursting. Anyway, so that song is thirty five years old right now, there are people listening to so many slices that are like, like, love that song even though it's older than you, because it's such a classic song. Classic right if you've seen him in concert and heard the song with thirty five years you know what, it's kind of a cool vibe

the way he does it now. It's sort of a nice change of pace if I want to hear that, If I want to hear the rocking version, I can put on the you know, put on the music myself. So I don't mind the adaptation. But there's some songs I feel like, um oh, like, uh was it? What's what is it? Let it rock? Is it? Let it rock? No? Some of his will upbeat, like thunderous anthems. I feel like you, uh, you have to be upbeat for let

it rock, Let it rock, Let it rock. No, No, no, no, no, anyway, there's some Bung Jovi songs you have to play, and he does. He does play electric versions of of some songs. But I think that you know, he's he's married with kids. He's sixty or fifties, late fifties, whatever it is, early sixties. Happen you have a bad name. It's like, you know now he's talking about his kids, boyfriend. No, I get it. It depends on Norwegian crews. So I was very excited.

I'm going I'm just gonna say those It depends on how much you loved these artists. These legacy artists would talk, well, who is your favorite? Will you see you too? You too? Sitting in chairs? They did an acoustic set, you would I'd go, yeah, Beasty Boys, Beasty Boys, not even not even a question, I'd go, I know, unless you would, of course, right, I mean I want to go see them act out their book twice. You know, they had their book coming out and they did their their their book.

They read from their book and they told stories to the audience. There was no music involved there. But you know, the surviving members of the Beastie Boys, how can I think you know what time it is? It's time to sit still. I can't stand till Brooklyn. Yeah, well listen, getting older it's a thing, right, Yeah, I'm just saying, blessed press now really really, well, are you depressed? Because Phil Collins was all right, what are you gonna do?

You know? Yes, we do that on every break. By the way, you notice that the Boys podcast, we both both cut each other off and then we both paused to see what each other had to say. Oh, like like that, like that. We got some angry text messages on the Elvis rd Morning Show today, and I think sometimes people developing here, by the way, with angry texts. Well, how about Monday. I don't know what happened Monday. I'm not gonna read them all, but Monday was just vile, angry,

upset with everything, people offended, hurt. How dare you? You should be ashamed of yourself. So Danielle mentioned that Danielle and Elvis were talking about how they bought some stuff on Amazon. They got Amazon packages. I think Elvis said, everybody, what was the last thing got from Amazon? Everybody around the room and talk about that from Amazon. So people would text. A couple of people texted in don't shop

at Amazon. They treat your employees like crap. Right, So, so I thought to myself, I understand the point, right, I understand what you're saying. But here's the problem. If you don't shop at Amazon, you've you've taught Jeff Bezos a lesson. But all those people who work there will lose their jobs. Right, You're like, don't shop at that? What what about the employees? They treat the employees like crap. But if the employees don't have jobs to be treated

like crap. So I don't know where the balance is, but I think we all we we far too often say don't shop there. Yes, you're not realizing the ramifications. And then you choose a company that's a bigger offender, but you don't even realize it because they're owned by another company. Sometimes that people say, we'll support local, and I'm a big fan of that, but sometimes local businesses are owned by assholes. Yeah, and guess what, sometimes those

local businesses go through Amazon to have their products sold. Well, that's also true. So I mean, you can't just avoid them because they're you know, Well, how about you remember the the the It was about ten years ago where everyone wanted a boycott gas stations for a day. That was always a thing like that would be a big thing. Okay, on September three, nobody by gas. We'll teach these gas

stations a lesson these gas companies. Right, well, that's fine, but you're gonna go by gas the next day, going to get gas. You're gonna may right, they may set them before. So the only thing is their profits are just delayed by a couple of days. Right, It's not you're gonna stop using gas. You're like, we're not. Everyone's gonna just well, do a gas out on Tuesday, gas out. Okay, then you're gonna have long lines on Wednesday. Who you you? You you? That's how you fight a gas company. We're

gonna we're gonna you switched to electric. That's how you how You're right, that's ultimately, that's what I'm going to oil heat funk all y'all, Well, that's still gas. You're talking about natural gas. That's you know, natural gas versus oil versus gas. But still it's not oil heat versus gas heat oil. He's still oil. The oil oil. It's from some of the same companies that make gasoline. So you're fucked either way. Right, that's why I have to

use natural gas. But in the in the world of fuel, then you you would you would buy a you know, a tesla right right, if you, if you, if you really want to screw over the you know, the gas companies, you know in the heating companies just live in the cold. They're just live in a cold house. You'll show them some utilities are unavoidable and you can't boy up. Uh, you know, I wanted to bring something up. Well, you should get a podcast maybe. Um. So yesterday I was,

how would you handle this, Brodie? What would Brody do? W w B d Um ordered a salad from Sweet Green. I'm just gonna call him out, I was. I was struggling in my head. Do I call these people out or not? Yes? Sweet Green Sweeten famous chain. They have a hundred twenty two stores around the country. Now they they're blown up the vegetables so well, they're still salad, you know, not really your speedy. They do fancy salad

they do. They do things with roasted like sweet potatoes and their chicken roasted spicy roccoli in there they throw. You know, it's one of those salad places that have they made their mark. Um. But here in the in the city. There are a bunch of locations New York City, New York City, right Manhattan. They opened up a location in Jersey and New Jersey, Brody, New Jersey. Now Here comes the relatable part where I think that you know, what would Brody do? Okay? They the only Sweet Green

this side of the Hudson. And by the way, it's a very well respected and known brand and brand we've established that. I'm done to know what happened? I ordered. I ordered a salad with a bunch of things in it, of course, with some kind of pesto, something dressing and chicken and you know, a scary Jones style salad. You know, they had a parmesan parmesan shavings on it, a hard boiled egg in there. So extra healthy, extra extra. Now what is it in the Greek sality cream? What? What?

What is it in the Greek salle you hated? I forgot? Oh nothing, I forgot. I don't know. From one of our earlier episodes when and if they leave the pits in the olives, that wasn't it. There was some mr ingredient you didn't like, whatever it was, I don't know that. The point here is I ordered it through seamless tweet scary letter and you guys remember go ahead, So you ordered through seamless, and I thought I smelled something funny there was I thought something was up before I ordered it.

Looked at my Google reviews. This place has reached a three point oh out of five stars. I'm like, hawk, that is awful. Then I then I go to Yelp and I see it has two point five stars. I'm like, huh, guess what it's this fucking location. It's it's the specific location that sucks up your ship. But I didn't you know what it's We've green how bad could it really be? All the other locations are fucking phenomenal and over the

moon and off the charts awesome. But that's a culture they've created over years where people know how to you know, place, Well, that's all the other ones. All the other ones have great reviews. Right, yeah, you're talking about a franchise location. That's where I went wrong. I ordered it seamless, let's put it this way, and it wasn't seamless as what I'm here. Well, it shows up the fucking salad with all the delivery fees and all the extra extras cost

me thirty thirty three zero dollars. And it was the only item cheese on top. It was the only thing I got in my in the cart. It was the only fucking item. And when I've gone this week Green before Brodie, I used to fucking pile that thing into the into the bowl. And in fact, and they used to put the cover on top, in the plastic cover. It was like a Starbucks cover where it would overflow. You know, the whipped cream, the whipped cream, you know, a little opening at the top, you know how you

know how the Starbucks has the whip dome. Yeah, this salad used to come with a dome and he used to just pack it on, used to open up the fucking flat leg. Well yeah, not only did I get flat lid, and it gets worse, they flat lid at me. And it was only half full. It was like a soup bowl, a small soup bowl that was like kind of half full, half empty. Just well, that's me. I'm pessimist today. Yeah, well no, I'm the pestimistimist. I'm the optimist, optimist,

the optimist, the pessimist. And but the salad wasn't even touching the flat lid. But it gets worse. They forgot the fucking salad dressing. What dude, salad place, How do you forget the salade? Far as I'm concerned, that's the entire meal, because eating dry salad is not even an option. So I went on seamless and I'm like, what the fuck? And I go back and forth because at first I called the place and they're like, all right, I got

Sweet Green. I'm sorry. I went to Sweet called the place, and I got pushed to Sweet Greens online chat because the people at the local store don't want to hear from you. They just want to busy the salad dress. They want to suck you over. So yeah, well that's exactly it. So so they push you to the the corporate chat. So I I laid into them on the corporate chat and I'm like, look, I'm like, you're one of your local stores. Is leading a stain on your brand?

I said, because this this, and this happened, charge me three dollars for a second. It wasn't a salad dressing stain, you know that much exactly, So I said, So I said to them, and they're like, oh, sorry, you have to go to seamless because you ordered your food from there. Well, Seamless, that's bullshit. So Seamless. I go to the what's missing this and that and the other thing, and then Seamless is like, uh, they don't even leave have salad dressing

as an option. It's just like, is the cucumbers missing? Is the chicken? Is the beats? I'm like, no, none of the above, and it says, okay, we're done here. Like no, I had rewind and I go back to the beginning, and I say, okay, they they made my order wrong. I chose that selection and it seems goes we've fund to But that's a seams But that's Seamless. My issue is not with Seamless. I'm still pissed at the fucking store. First of all, you're tarnishing the brand.

I go down to the Google reviews. I go to the Yelp reviews. You guys, hey slices, Google Sweet Green, Hudson Street, Jersey City, New Jersey. Oh seven three one oh that specific you are hardcore? No Google it, look at and look at the review at least look at the reviews, you know, look at the reviews on this fucking place. It's one complain after the next they're so Chiinsey with the food. They're so the salad was the salad was dry. Someone uploaded a picture of plastic wrap

that was inside the salad. Say, um, I don't think this is supposed to be here in my paying extra for it? Like like literally problem if the problem? You know, I complained about I complained about the food not being up to par or and they said yeah so and got blue drink with me. The people behind the counter, what a bunch of assholes and they don't want to answer their phone. Who owns this place? People, I'm so pissed. I'm just saying this is wrong on so many levels.

You want to you're the only I'm gonna call it the flagship Sweet Green for New Jersey, the state of New Jersey, because there are no other ones here and this is this is your introduction, your debut to a very crowded salad market. Might I ask? Might I add in Jersey City and Hoboken. You know, there's a lot of people that are very big on salad, and there are ten places that are ten times better. But I

see the Sweet Green logo. I'm a loyal customer. Sweet Green when all the city ones and now they sucked me over here at this location and I still have yet to get to anybody. I said, I want to talk to the general manager of the store who owns this place. Why the fuck are they not? Are they not making good on this? I have to have seamless jump in and bite the bullet on a thirty one dollar salad that you guys only filled up halfway and

didn't even give me my dressing or apologize for. And all the corporate chat did was saying, all right, we're gonna pass this song. We're gonna elevate this to corporate higher ups because some seems like some team training is in order here and they need to figure some stuff out. And I said, damn straight you do, because you're disappointing customers left and right. This is your introduction to the Jersey City market. Oh I'm so angry. You sound angry.

I don't know why you let these places get you so upset. You know me, I let it all roll down my back. Okay, so I can't. Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna promise you guys an update because I had a very similar situation to what Skier he's going through with. Uh we'll just call him t J. I my days, Okay. Uh it was I would say eleven points seven times worse than the story you just told. And this was back in uh first week of August. So now we're looking at almost two months where they

have not helped me. Corporate is not helping me. However, Uh while I was napping today, Uh John from the corporate office called me left me a voicemail to go over and talk to me about the situation I had in my local right, so this is after will you hear the story. I'm not gonna do it now because it's gonna sound a lot like what you just told and I don't want to be It's too much negativity. And by the way, I'm not gonna most slices of saying like, you know what, why did he say sweet Greens?

And then because I know that's what we do at the end of the rent truth do it. Nope, I'm not gonna do it because I love Sweet Green. I love I love them. They're the best except for that store. Fuck that location, okay of specifically right in the Jersey City location. They never ever ever done me dirty and I've been I've been going to them since I'm so angry. Right now, let me give you a customer service experience that wasn't necessarily bad, but because I'm prepared, Uh, this

may be a helpful tip for you guys. So I told you how I got locked out of my house. I said that story, yes, right, So I had I broke a window by accident, a storm window, and so I took it to a window as I called. I called a couple of window places. One one company wanted eighty five dollars, one company that had had worked for me before wanted sixty five dollars. And then a third guy who came very well reviewed, wanted thirty dollars, but

it would take a week, so it was longer. The other people were like two days, Like, well, I don't need a storm window. It's fine. I take a glass. So he said, you have thirty dollars, not a problem, drop it off and I take about a week because it was it was right after a storm here in the area, so a lot of people. It was after Ida, so a lot of people had like broken windows. So he was backed up. Okay, so he said thirty dollars.

So in my notepad on my phone. I had put all the places, um phone numbers and names and their estimates. This way I can remember what all the estimates were, so I can look back and then a decision. Right, so I go Bob's Glass, Okay, blah blah and eight five dollars. Right, It's all on my notepad. And then when I just decided to go with the thirty dollar guy, I emailed myself his address, right, so i'd have it and the phone number and the quote of thirty dollars.

You follow me so far? I do. So now I'm covered. I drop off the window. Uh. And I very nice guy, he says, I'll give you a calling me a call next next Wednesday, which was a week ago yesterday. So it's one of these like it looks like nobody's cleaned up the place or updated the place in a hundred years. Like all the guy does make less. Right. It's a shop. It's not a fancy store. It's a guy who just

he's got a table. He's got a table in the back like a cutting he's got a desk, and he's got like hundreds of window panes lined up in the front leaning against the wall with tags on them. That's it, bare bones, past the savings onto the consumer. Okay, no computer, right, everything's on a notepad. He writes for seats, down post, it notes everywhere, not the most. But he's got a system, right,

you know, he's got a system of dred years. So I got to pick up my window and he goes here you go, he goes, uh, that's uh forty dollars plus tax. But I it was, uh, sorry, you you quoted me thirty. No, the size of the window here that's forty. So I said, yeah, that's because it is more glassed, there's more more of a job, because it's bigger. No, he didn't say that. He didn't say, Look, it was harder than I thought. He said, oh no, not for

his window. This windows forty. It's says my standard. That's forty. But what makes one window less than the other if it's the same labor well, if you well, it may not be maybe larger, alright, alright, alright, it may require to take off my mind screws. So I said, well, you quoted me thirty. No, that doesn't sound right. So I take out my notepad and I showed it to him, and he says, yeah, I don't think I would have

said thirty. Then I showed him my email to myself and go, look, I emailed myself on that date you said thirty. I wrote it twice. So he says, well, let me check the measurements again, and he measures the glass and he goes, son of a bitch, yeah that's thirty. So all I'm saying is, well, I'm not blaming the guy. He was honest, man. He wasn't trying to take advantage. But sometimes people went out like a real filing system

and a laptop or you know. He was going by post it note and his memory and his memory and he's trying to eyeball it. Yeah, and he put a post it note on the frame and said forty. But I'm like, that's not what you told him. Sometimes it's all, you know, it's all just opinion. How you feeling, How's which way is the wind blowing? Hopefully not towards my window because it was open. You know, what side of

the bed did I wake up on this morning? You know, like something A record of your phone calls always asked the name of the customer service person who spoke to He's very important. Notes have notes have notes. You can't argue amast with Bodi and Scary. I was gonna end on, I can't argue it an email. And as I was saying that, you will, let you hit the jingle. Okay, I'll tell you what. Now you could say it and then I'll hit the jingle. No, already did it. I'm

not gonna edit it. You just gonna play it twice. I'm just gonna play it twice. So yeah, do you joke you can't argue with an emails with Bodi and Scary. Now he's like three seconds dead air there. Okay, you can't argue it an emails with Bodi and Scary. There you go. That's that's radio professional right there. That was the kind of guy what you just did there. If with that quality on the third one, I would have you put together a girl group. That's there. You go.

That's talent. Hey, uh you know we Hey there's an echo again, damn it, bothers. It's a little bit all right. So we have some sound to go through, and you know, one of these pieces of sound that I loaded in is my voice? What then you trying to do to me? Okay, hold on, I need an old clip first, do you have uh do you have the clip in the system of Kate Uh no, no, no, no, no, Kate McKinnon doing the Verizon commercial. Um, let me just take a

look through my sound banks. I do have to have this limited space on this hard drive, so it's space. While you're looking limited space, I want to read a tweet from Monster donut Pants Aronell girl. She says, what because last week there was a problem with you said my system was had a problem. What Scary Jones nine point two million dollar recording system doesn't make up for David Brodie's audio issues on the Brooklyn Boys. Now, you don't have hord drive space eleven points six million dollars.

From the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. No, because you're you're pushing me to the edge. You're making fun of my equipment. Now go fund yourself here. No, you're pushing me to the edge. From Paul Hickey in all caps, get back in the studio, scary. You guys need to do an

Hashtag crappy WiFi, So go fund yourself. Well, I'm not on a couch. I'm on a very comfortable business chart. I'm just saying from Regency office, you want to make fun of the equipment. We don't have to use this equipment. We can go back in the studio and stare at each other face to face and use the radio stations

a million dollars set up. I'm just saying what you told me. You leave that studio at ten o'clock sharp boom. But if we were to do with the pod cast, I'll think about it. Do you have the Verizon sound We don't, but well I'm gonna play it. Remind everybody what we ripped Verizon. Kate McKinnon for Verizon launched the first five G network and now we want to be the first to give everyone the joy of five G by giving every customer a new five G phone on

We want to save you money on your monthly but u k K, you don't work. Remember we did the whole thing right. This commercial ran on see what handred yesterday? Play the commercial Scary Jones. By the way, there's gonna be a part here. I thought you're gonna go after me for something else, because

I'm gonna go with you for that too. But that's one thing at a time. You have no case, my friend. Just in time for fall, the Sloman's Free Doorbell Camera and Free Home Security System with professional installation is back. We're doing it all again. If you wanted the weird, we're doing it all again. Stop stop, I got I already have a rebuttal for that. Okay, we're doing it all again. When I say we, I mean we here

They want people to dial in and pressed pound two fifty and say the keyword Sloan's. I'm sorry that I just get a free commercial without having to play the jingle.

Yes I did. Yeah, I figured you'd like, what's the second part? Now you tell me what the second part is? The second part? If you're gonna work, if you're gonna say that my grammar is off, and I said that it is instead of R you're wrong. It's free doorbell camera and free home security system with professional installation is back. Something some would say they are back. It's not what I'm saying it because it's a package. Right, No, I did not. No, I was not calling you up. Oh

my god, what your internet went off? Now you're back? No, I hit the mike cable. It's back. Yeah, No, you know I wasn't called Yeah, I wasn't calling you out on that A not at all. Alright, alright, moving on to other sound Yes, oh what are the clips do you have there? Of course the famous John Gruden clip? Oh, John Gruden. Remember when I we played the clip of the fan yelling about the home run they had Las Vegas Raiders The Vegas Writers head coach John Gruden miked

up and didn't turn his mic off. So while the announcers are talking about the game, listen to John Gruden in the background. And by the way, he is a former broadcaster and shouldn't know better. He was in the booth for head Monday Night Football to send the game into overtime. I mean, I think John is not the third man in the broadcast booth, but he is. You can't really hear it, but what was he saying? But by the way, it didn't help that they put the camera on him, so if you couldn't hear it, you

could mouth the words and along with it. So it actually if there was any question what he was saying, the real problem is the cameraman who put the camera on him while he was cursing his upper storm. What what what was he? What was he pissed about? I don't know. I wasn't watching the game. I'm not I'm not a fan of John. So you have the Vikings clip. Alright, So some of you guys may have heard this already,

but I was listening to UM the Sunday Drive. Now, the guy didn't do the line I wanted to play. He usually does with Bill Tory and Phil Tory and Bill Lets. He does like a whole likes the most fake, right. They didn't play that particular rejoined when I was in the car for the half hour. I was in the car, so I couldn't get that audio. Few guys, but I heard this clip when they want to let's go live

because UM the Sunday Drive on the NFL channel. They go from game to game whenever someone's like in the red zone, we're close to scoring. So I heard this live. They're like, let's go live to Minnesota for the kick to win the game? Shop are you kidding me? Mr? Wright? All Right? So First of all, here an announcer, you have monitors. You also can see the line judges like put their hands up or wave them off. This guy is obviously a Homer, which is fine. Team it means,

it means the announcer over roots for the team. Certain cities allow it, like everything. I was about to say, that's terrible. It shouldn't these broadcasters remain sort of neutral, Like, I mean, that isn't that bad. I don't know. I I don't live. We live in New York City where they're not allowed to do that. Well, here's the thing. Over the years, the Yankees have had had announcers that

were Homer's. Phil Razuto, former player, was a Homer. I would I would say that the two current radio announcers they have now are major Homer's Atlanta. He's saying Homer by the way, Carry was a big Homer, Harry Carry in Chicago. Certain cities they've they've grown to love their announcers, and announcers are part of the fabric and they will cheer and live and die like a fan, whereas some

announcers will be like yes, yes, home run. And they've they've they've taken a lead for making capture the energy. But they don't like yes, yes, like they don't loot. They're like they're like home roun here here in New York. You're screaming into the mike, here in New York. Here in New York with Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez du former, two former Mets and a former uh you know, fan of a fan of the Mets. He grew up and watched every went to every single game,

Garry Cohen. They they clearly are Met fans, but they're tasteful and classy in the way, and they will spank the Mets for making bad plays or letting things happen. It's they're they're actually they're fans of the game and they want to be fair at the same time whatever you're used to. So I just can't believe that this exists in other cities. I was shocked to hear how

biased some of these announcers are. I mean, you'll never get it on a national like Joe Buck, You'll never get it on the national broadcast because they're not they're not fans of the team. They're they're going to miscellaneous games when you watch, like I fell on Fox, but it's the radio guys that are the like the Jet announcers are on the radio, they screaming, go crazy at the end, I'm like, oh my god, it's so biased. I never really listened to tune into that before. So

I'm gonna I'm gonna tweet something out. Let me pull up my Twitter play this more time? Are you kidding me? Mr? Right right? I'm gonna retweet this right now at David Brody. The tweets called the worst and what it is? Someone sent it to me right thank you for sending it to me. Uh. It is a kid stopping the tape of a Jets game. He's like a twelve year old kid and he uh he breaks down the play and shows you out of position everybody he is. And I mean, let me pull up the clip because I want you

to hear the audio of this. Because at one point there's two Jets lineman standing off to the side. They look like they're about to block each other. There is nobody on the Patriots around. Listen to this kid, hold one play this songs up the New York Jets. This one has to be it. This Patriots winning off the edge. This Jets lineman is probably holding there's a patriot charging up the middle at sac with no blocking at all.

This Jets dude is being pancakeed on the ground. Give these two idiots staring at each other like, Yo, what are we doing? I don't know, let's just stand here. I love that we have these two idiots. And literally, when you look at the picture, it's two Jets standing there like what do you want for lunch? I don't know what do you want for lunch? There's nothing happening around them, but they're just standing there and the quarterback is about to throw a horrific interception and they are

doing nothing. And this kid, this kid watched the tape and shredded them and analyzed it good. Then I want to give this props for you, scary you get the upper hand here. Uh. Stephanie Minker at Ville two who seven? She tweeted at us, My daughter and I love the Brooklyn boys. Smart family. She said, Mom, you have to send this to them. Do you have their number? How cute is that? Maybe they will call us? She was too cute. Hope you enjoy. So this is a little girl in a in a minivan car seat. It looks

like here it is hold him podcast. So it's scary. It's the bumper we play into commercial yeast right, I'll play it. People know what it is. I don't have to play it. Will have one that is right. We don't see you don't seem to play that one as much do I do? I I rotate. They just played yours three times in a row. We went to a full false commercial. You dick, I know how great was that? You got me to do it three times? I did, didn't I? So? Hey, I was a Target over the weekend.

Love Target? Who doesn't love Target? Not a commercial target, Target practice, not a commercial with Target. So I two problems a target. One was the cashier. So I went with one of my kids and I got two boxes of cereal, some frozen pizzas, an ice cream that's also you know frozen, a board game, some candy whatever. So I like to organize everything on the conveyor belt when I go shopping. Put all the frozen foods together, all

the cans, all the boxes whatever. So I put the two cereals together standing up, and I put the frozen foods and I put you always put the potato chips of the eggs last, so that those bags end up on the top of your your call it right. She starts willy nilly packing right, So she puts the frozen pizza in the bottom of the bag, then ignores the ice cream, grabs the box of cereal, puts that in with the frozen So I said, oh, I kind of

want to keep the frozen food together. So she says, all okay, takes the box of cereal out, puts the ice cream in right, then makes another bag, grabs one box of cereal, then tries to put the Monopoly game in with the cereal. They said, can you can you put the other boxes cereal and with the cereal And she says, you know what, that's that's a good idea that the grocery they went next to each other. She scary, no joke. She had to reach around the second box

of cereal to grab the monopoly. Second box was standing there like a tower, and she went around it and grab the monopoly. She just doesn't know. I mean, she's just seeing things. And you know you gotta do it by by fragility, like how fragile something is right? And and tetris and the rest is a Tetris game, like how can I position this stuff and you put the boxes together, and the cans and the bottles. He's putting cereal boxes and all my frozen pizzas. Come on, it's

that her cabin. Cabin. I ask you a question. Do you play Monopoly? Yes? I do? Okay, I love Monopoly, grew up never in my whole life, and unfortunately i'd like to be I'm always the shoe or the hat. I love the shoe. I used to used to play with my father and I think I beat him once. I don't I'm gonna get to play with him again because he's I don't have him any longer. But that was our game, Checkers and Monopoly. That was the only board game he wanted to play. That was he played

it when he was young, and he loved Monopoly. Right now, since the days of my dad and me growing up with Monopoly and paper money, they've come out with electronic Monopoly and everything imaginal Star Wars Monopoly. I've got a New York Jets Monopoly, and what when you buy a New York Mets Monopoly or Chicago Club's Monopoly or Disney World Monopoly. For the most part, I'm sure they'll be exceptions,

but for the most part. What do they do? They just changed changed the property name, and they changed the cards, the community chest and check, but it's still it's in a boardwalk and park place. It might be like Space Mountain and and they changed Oh, and they changed the figurines that you used to go around the board. Right, but it's monopoly. It's still monopoly. Right. So we were a Target on Friday and my daughter says, oh, look this Target monopoly and look they give you a little

shopping cart and a basket. The pieces are you can get a little shopping cart. How cute is that? And we she and I have not played monopoly in a long time. So she's, Daddy, can we get the monopoly? I said, come on, man, we're paying I'll tell you the price yet, right, So I said, it's it's blah blah blah amount of money, which seems like a lot to pay for monopoly, and it's just gonna be monopoly. But like with red stuff. She's but, but I'll play

it because it'll be different. Said okay, fine, I'll break down. I'll get the monopoly. How much do you think the Target Monopoly was a lot of Target? So okay, so we get home. We're all excited to play target Monopoly, and she says, I want to be the dog. Well, the dog has a little but a flat butt, should have the bull's eye over its face from the commercials have but it's the little dog figurine and it it has like it has like three legs in a butt.

But if you don't place it perfectly, it falls over. Yeah. Right, there's a shopping cart, which is fine, and I don't know what else the pieces were because she was the dog, but shopping The instruction booklet is about six pages long. Why because it's not monopoly. It's got the board right, the board looks like monopoly. Everything is cleverly, you know, rechanged, you know house swears and computers and televisions. So they've they've done the usual, but the us of the game

are completely different. You you get little properties, but you don't you can buy a property, right, you can buy TV and it's it's tiny, right, and it fits in your little basket. It's not like the big properties. There's no rent, there's no mortgage, there's no houses, no hotels. Man, that's watered down ship. You have to check out from free parking where the registers are or go right. Once you buy a property, someone else lands on it. They can buy it from you, you can buy it twice.

You have to then save up coupons all the already hate this kid, it's a nightmare. I'm not here. The point is it's really it's like a monopoly with like, uh, it's like you made you Let's say your mom made the perfect Marinarow sauce, right, the perfect red sauce, and then come along and squirted mustard in it, mixed them up and said his mom's sauce, Like what house mustard doing it here? Don't worry about it. Awful, so confusing bucket.

So please if you want to confuse your kids and yourself by Target monopoly, by Target monopoly, Um, I haven't they returned? Can I return it once it's open on the grounds it sucks? Yes, I would do that if I were you. Now I have something for you guys right after this. Please it's the perfect But yeah, I feel like we brought this up on the Big Show and Brodie didn't have a chance to comment on it, and I think we should. We should do it again. That's a pattern. Well, you don't get to talk on

the Big show. Otherwise, half the stuff that you talk on about this podcast, you'd be able to expand on. See, I get to speak about things on the big show, but I don't get to expand on them. That's that's right, because you're an executive producer and I'm only an executive producer. That makes no sense, uh I was. Earlier this week, we had a little mini conversation about about etiquette with

photos taking pictures. I wanted to know how you feel about being in the middle of a picture and what do you do with your arms, because I tend to think, and I said this on the air and I'll say it again, I think it's selfish if you stand in the middle of a picture and you have your arms at your sides, or you let everybody put their arms around you like you're the middle and you're the center of attention, Whereas I think a better look is by

putting your arm. If you're in the middle, you put your left arm around the left person, the right arm around the shoulder the right person, and it's kind of like chummy. It's more endearing. It's more like we're a group taking a picture and it doesn't matter that I'm in the middle, it's not It doesn't matter that I'm in the middle, because I'm actually we're all together in there. No, it's a risky move. Why well, first of all, if it's two women, it's doubly risky. But but let's just

keep it as two people, right. If you do the double reach around and then they don't, then you go And should I not be doing the double reach round? Is this awkward? Did I take? Did I take this to be a closer friendship than I thought? Because now they're standing there going this guy's arms around me? So I do the like when I take picture with celebrities, I do the reach around, but I don't touch them. So my hand is behind them for the so that my arm is somewhere to go, but I don't touch

them even if they like. Sometimes it's like, especially the female celebrities, they'll put their head on my shoulder. They'll put their hand on my shoulder where I'm like, okay, as long as you did it, but I will not

touch their back like I do. No, he's the move I do usually if I don't know the people well enough, if they haven't put their arms around me, is I'll cross my arms like you know, like like an eight sitcom, like hello, I got my arms crossed, but you don't do that, you don't, but you and then some people a lot of a lot of people, um and and I guess, um. Actually you ever see the breakfast club Envy and DJ Envy and Charlemagne and Angela when they

take a picture with the celebrity, nobody touches anyone. In fact, they all have their different poses, like like like one guy will have like have his arms crossed. Uh the end, you will have his like left leg up against the wall. And not only those are not only radio professional, but they look it looks like a magazine cover every time. I'm like, no, their TV profession perfectly styled. I'm like, why can't we do more of that? I mean, maybe

that's a solution. Maybe that's why you and I don't have a TV shows and uh radio gigs like that around morning show. I'm just trying to figure it out because when I look at pictures, I judge if I see that the person in the middle, or they'll have an arm around one person and the other arms limp. I'm like, I guess they don't like the person on their right enough to take a picture of a boy band, Like if you take a picture with Backstreet Backstreet boys,

everybody puts the arms on everybody. That's their pose. So then you're like, you're in the middle of it. That's fine, you could be in the middle because it looks like they're all like buddying up to you. But and if and and if they say like sometimes they're like move in a certain way, like so you'll move your arms, think you're closer, and then you have to put your arms behind them because they're so close. It's like squirshed to get in the photo. Like if they're like everybody

squirsh in. Can't get everybody in the picture. Like with a large group, you gotta picture arms around them. I still don't touch them, though, do you touch them? I do every one of them now celebrities aside. I also realized that something else. Yeah, when I'm when I'm taking pictures with women versus pictures with men, and this is uh this those for our listeners. No, not necessarily. I smile. I give big smiles all across the board. Yes, but with the guys, I go over to the shoulders and

with women I go to their waist. I put my arms around their waist. In fact, one time, accidentally, and this is embarrassing, someone pointed out that I had a picture with someone and it was a woman and my I guess they were so small, they were so petite that my arm went around them and over around, and it looked like I was touching their boob from like a reach around from the from the back all the way back to the front, from the front to the back, from the back to the front like that. I'm like,

oh my god, it's embarrassing. You can see my fingertips under on their underbooth. That's too high up. But no, I was. But then again, I'm a tall person though, and they're shorter than me, so obviously you gotta angle down. And I've never got down. I see I've done. I've done the reach around crouch around them. No, I know, well you know when I now, I don't think she does it anymore. But the three or four times Taylor Swift came up to the radio station, if you're a

Facebook friend of mine, you'd know this. But otherwise you wouldn't know this. Uh, And if you're not my we didn't go to high school with me or my cousin you're not a Facebook friend of mine. I'm sorry. But on my in my private galleries, UM, all of my pictures would Taylor because she's so tall. I felt really short next to her. So I said, hey, can you crouch down if you're really short? And I would stand on my tippy toes and she would crouch down a

little bit. And so I have pictures of her like standing straight and crouching, standing straight, crouching, So, uh, it's she. She was a good sport about it. But by the time it was like the third one, She's like, I know you want me to crouch down. It was like a joke. She remembered me. She's like, oh yeah, and she crouched. She crouched down because Taylor is tall. And then with the heels, she's really tall, and it makes you look really, I'm surprised. I'm surprised that you put

your arms around her after this is all? This is all. Uh, there was thousand eight. There was a very public it was a very public lawsuit with a radio d J. Well, I know, no, I've never put my I've never I've never put my hand on Taylor. I always put my arm if it goes I would put it like behind her, but like six seven inches away from her back. If I feel like I think that they're uncomfortable, I do

the same thing. I hide it in the back, so to the to the person looking at the picture, it looks like I have my arm around them, but I'm not touching them. I will. I will tell you that, I'll make this observation and tell me if you think I'm wrong. Sometimes newer artists and artists who haven't had a hit in a while are much more touchy feely

friendly in photographs with people at radio stations. I believe it like you got a you got a girl who has like unsigned our, she has like her first song, her album's coming out and she has like one single. A lot of times they'll like they'll do the lean on your shoulder thing. They'll put like hand over hand, like when I met Dualipa before any of her songs were out right, she was an unknown and she like, oh she leaned on me right, like she put on

our hands right, Duelina. They're very good, but like that won't happen again. First of all, I think the record labels are like hey, you know, And plus I don't think after a while, I feel like they're like U radio DJs, take pictures with them whatever. But when they're when they're starting out, they're very casual. It's all very you know whatever. But like boy bands always with the arm around, always always right, friendly boy bands just saying hey, um,

we were talking before about the other David Brody. Right, So there's other people with famous names of famous people with names of famous people that aren't famous. Well, that happened to me. I got, I got. I got tricked unintentionally or otherwise. Before you go into that, let me just give you one example. My friend, a long time friend of mine. His name is Jeffrey Epstein. Yes, always met him in Combine be leave it right there, that's his real name. And now he's like, don't yeah, that's

a problem. It's a problem. So I'm listening to the Fantasy upball channel on Sirius XM because I'm a hardcore fantasy football player and the guy, the guy says, hey, good friend of mine is coming up, uh to talk about whatever he's talking about. And he says, uh, yeah, this guy has made a name for himself in the fantasy world. And I got lucky enough to meet him years ago. We've stayed friends. I consider myself very fortunate. And so my buddy Ryan Reynolds is coming on to

talk about whatever. So I'm like, wow, this guy knows Ryan Reynolds. Now a lot of celebrities have fantasy football teams and they'll come on. So you thought maybe Ryan Raynolds was coming on and give you his picks and tell you what he thought, right, and and a lot a lot of celebrities, you guys are probably if you've ever listened to sports stations, there are there are athletes that love fantasy football, or celebrities rather, and they'll come on and give their picks and and they'll be in

leagues and they're like everybody else. So I'm like, who doesn't love Ryan Raynolds? This is great. He's like, yeah, my buddy, Ryan Reynolds. And so his CAUs goes, how'd you get Ryan Reynolds know? Like he's like, I've just I met him years ago. Now he's blowing up. He's got a new column out that he writes for this website, Like Brian Reynolds writes a fantasy football website. This is tremendous.

So the guy comes on, he's like lady and gentlemen, Ryan Reynolds, and he's like, hey, everybody, I wanna talking about my picks this week, Like this isn't fucking Ryan Reynolds. So apparently this guy is a big deal now in fantasy football, and now you gotta listen to his name every time, and you're gonna be psyched out every single The point was he was making a big deal about his buddy Ryan Reynolds, because the guy in the fantasy world is worth knowing. I think he did it on purpose,

just for tuning. He definitely he's like, hey, guys, got Ryan Reynolds coming up. My friend Ryan Reynolds. Never once said hey, same name as the famous guy. He wanted you to think it was really him. That was him doing little tease and little tune in a little tickli your balls with a feather. Right. He didn't say I went to college with him. I met him at about a thing years ago. No, no, yeah, Now he did

it on purpose, absolutely, of course. So my friend Jeffrey Epstein's coming Jeff Epstein on the next broadcast with the Big Brooklyn Boys podcast. See, but Jeffrey one, he's dead right. He may have not have hung himself, depending on what conspiracy theory you're in. Oh, Adam Levine. Adam Levin coming up next next week on the show. My friend, I'm an accountant. Well, why I know what Adam Levin? I actually, yeah,

I can. I'm gonna call him up. I haven't spoken to him since middle school, but you know he's he's around, Adam Levine. All right, speaking of middle school and Brooklyn, and um, are you gonna are we doing something with in Brooklyn coming up? Yeah? I mean in the New York Comedy Festival.

We were trying, They were trying in the background, will just be honest. They were trying to bring the Brooklyn Boys to Brooklyn with all y'all listening and all the slices. Although you don't say y'all in Brooklyn, you know, we do not. But we were we were supposed to do something uh, and it just never happened. But so what are we

doing in Brooklyn? Scary? Well right now? Nothing? Well, so I thought you knew something I didn't know. No, I thought we were going to do that, but I heard that that was still maybe on the table for the fall. But I come on, that's what hurt now, your dogs howling at the moon? I think we should. Uh, we gotta go. We gotta a cruise ship to board, and I gotta pack. Can I just I want to just tell you my Taco Bell story because I want to end on a on a on a brooding kind of note.

You want to end on a on a negative go. Well, So I I went to Taco Bell, as I often do. I'm still a big fan, and I'm with I'm with my kid. This is after Target, right after the the the the incident and Target. She's like, let's go to

So the manager comes over and he says, uh, yeah, it does that. It does that right, And then that and by the way they have that means they have no plans to

But the app thinks you're closing soon. I want to use the app. And he says, yeah, that's the way it is. Well, have you complained anybody? No, it is because you know what, You're a bad manager.
