#2: When Your Brain Is Too Fast For Your Mouth

working with you? So it is. So we'll do it again. How dos she just go? Now we're gonna sing along? Right, it's also on the track. We know the words, right, Brooklyn Da Boys, Brooklyn Boys. I'm David Brody Jones. There you go. Wait a second, How did I get suckered into that? What? I'm Scary Jones? Right? You already said that. Yeah, I'm supposed to go first? No you're not? Okay? What can we alternate? Are you okay with that? Yeah? Sometimes

I'll go first, you go second. Sometimes you'll go second. I'll go first. Wait a second, he just tricked me? What? No, sometimes I'll go first and you go second. That's what I said. Sometimes I'll go first, sometimes you'll go second. Sometimes you'll go second, then I'll go first. We'll just take turns. Okay, why do I feel like I'm being jipped? Well, that's what God did that to you, sir. I don't

know any problem with that. He in his episode two of our podcast two and a half, I want to say two and a half, I came to an agreement on Twitter with some people that were saying it's because because we have an episode zero we do, which was sort of a bridge episode where we were on shore what we would doing. It was sort of the podcast before the podcast. It was like a prequel, right, the prequel, So can better than the Star Wars prequels? Can zero

be even counted? But zero is not a number if you look, if you ask any mathematicians, zero is not a number. It's a digit, but it's not a number, it's an amount. It's nothing. Right, So it's sort of so listen to episode zero to figure out how we got to where we are now at episode one. Now, so we should be counting in halves. So this is episode I think if you're going to say how many episodes we've done. Then I counted this sort of half,

what is the third episode we've done? If you're counting zero, No I don't because zero would be one. I'm saying. I'm saying we've done two, And like it was like a half of an episode. It was like not really a full Brooklyn Boys podcast. And so if you if you're gonna say every week how many we've done, I'm gonna say, add that half one. I wanted to like

just say it's the second episode. But if we're clear, if you remember back in the day when used to clean the chalkboard at school, you know, they used to at the end of the day, someone would get the base and the gray basin water and the sponge and and someone would would actually come in and wipe the chalkboard clean and they would like literally like like like cleaning, and it looked great, but then when it dried, it was the smears of the chalk anyway, like white cloudy water. Right.

So I feel like episode zero, after episode zero, we came in with that bucket, it's like about you know what it is? Episode zero in spot you know what it is? Episode zero is like um breaking bad and then better call Saul is all the other episodes. It's part of the family, but it's not really an episode. Okay, all right. By the way, you ever used to hide chalk in the eracers? They did? Everyone did that, You

know that. That was when you take the black race and p chalk in the middle of it like that grooves and it we could stick up and then then somebody would come to erase the board and they would like right all over the board with the chalk, like I want to clear up something. Yes, if this is the first time you're listening to our podcast, thank you. By the way, welcome board, welcome, We welcome everybody. Absolutely, this is not a podcast about Brooklyn. It's a podcast

by two guys from from the neighborhood in Brooklyn. Yes, so we might have a Brooklyn take on something more global. Now, if you search for Brooklyn Boys on I Heart radio and iTunes, but I Heart Radio especially, you get other things, like there's some songs by like as a dance song, it's his Brooklyn Boys, that's the title of the song. Yeah, there's other there's other there's other crap that. But you have to scroll down to podcasts and currently our logo

is the Brooklyn Bridge. What's gonna temporary. We're working on a real, real logan. By the way, that is an original painting. A woman painted that for me um and sent it to me. She actually is from Iowa, and I paid good money for that, and it's hanging above my bed. That is the painting hanging above my bed. It's an original and and for now it's our temporary logo until we have a more permanent solution. And I like that I get to use it. I didn't pay for its right exactly, and no one it's not a

copyright infringement because I own it. Also, you can get in touch with us now Here's this is going to be a little confusing, but we're in the process of of getting getting our Twitter handle and our everything proper right now. A kind of explained this last week on the first episode right with our parents, right that we we named the show the Brooklyn Boys, and on Twitter, the Brooklyn Boys wasn't available, and so we had three

extra letters to play with to make it different. So we chose wtf you heard to go back and hear the episode if you have it, I'm sure you have, and so on Twitter where the Brooklyn boys w TF for now? Which I like? But you know what, we can do better? You know what I you know what I claimed the other day, I claimed, Yo Brooklyn boys. I didn't tell you that I have Yo Brooklyn boys. I don't like that. You're like, Yo Brooklyn sounds like a yogurt store, like like it doesn't Yo Brooklyn, Yo

Brooklyn boys. That's like it's almost like you're you're like, I had, Hey Brooklyn boys. You didn't like that? Not like that. Yeah, because if you're reaching out to us on Twitter, you're tweeting hey Brooklyn boys, or so the Brooklyn version of that would be Yo Brooklyn boys. Well, the Brooklyn version will be hey, assholes, that's of you our Twitter just at hay assholes? Is that taking? I don't know. Check by the time you hear this, we've

already checked exactly. All right, all right, well well alright, so so so we have we have some connections and now we own well we we we have, we have we have Yeah, I wouldn't let's let those connections we have. We have some things we may we're gonna change it. So just we don't know, we're gonna change many changes already. One thing I will tell you, though, is you can reach us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. If you want to respond to any of this stuff,

you do check email, right, Brodie not not checking it? Okay, Well I'll check it and I'll read it. So I want to I want to just clear the air on that as well. You did a podcast before this one, and you had a chat room and a Facebook page and a Twitter, and you're all up in that. I don't have time for that. I love the listeners, but this is my third podcast. In addition to my two jobs, I have the company, three jobs here at the company,

and I don't have time. I understand that because the reason enough time is I respond to every tweet, every tweet, and so I'd rather just keep it on in one place. Tweet me, keep it short. You could reach him, by the way at David Underscore. Brody, you're not following him.

Follow him. He's a funny guy. And I think the best way who contact us is probably our own Twitter, which which we're gonna which we're gonna settle in the next well, I mean, I mean, you're at Scary Jones, I'm at David on Score Brody and if you want to add the Brooklyn Boys, absolutely do all three. If you can, that'd be great. But if you do like at Brooklyn Boys, we may not see it right away and we want to get back to you right away,

so just take us. Also, if you don't mind, take us on our personal in regards to last episode, Yes, I corrected you something that you said grammatically incorrect. We had a whole little debate on it. You came out of the light went over your head, and you realized that I was right, and we moved on. Yeah. But but a bunch of people commented on that, and they're like, oh, you should do a grammar podcast now. Okay, so a couple of things. Number One, I have no time for

a fourth podcast. Although they were like you and Bethany from the Elvistraight Morning Show. In case you're yeah, I saw that they want you to you a podcast with Bethany that that deals with the grammar. Okay, here's the thing. A select number of people like people who are really good at grammar. The rest of the world hates us for correcting people. So I try to do it in

a funny way. I have an idea. Now, some somebody, somebody uh in my life tweeted something that I was tagged in and said, uh, who's who's on it Look who's on iTunes? And who's so to me, I would spell that w h O apostrophe ass who is right? But they wrote who's as in w h os like whose shoes are these? And so I had to correct him. But I felt I felt like, you know, I felt like an asshole. No, never feel like an asshole because I'm right. Yeah, but that makes you come off No.

I said, hey, I just want to let you know, and they said, thank you. They appreciate That's good because some people don't respond that way. Some people take it very personally. Yeah, well they shouldn't because you're just trying to help. Well, I did win my third grade spelling B. I was there. I have my my trophy to boot. So I am. I am a pretty smart guy. I am. I'm still spelling. I am still angry about my third grade spelling B. What happened? Then, I'm using the word

angry deliberately. What happened? So? I like to consider myself a very very bright person. As you know, I graduated high school sixteen. Bertie, you were so advanced, I can't believe your story. I ain't well anyway. So I was always like the kid in the class, was set at the special table, was did extra work and all that stuff. So I was very I guess I was confident. But being confident and being smart, it's like the athlete that's

so naturally gifted. They don't try as hard as the short, scrappy guy who runs into walls because he knows he has to right. Okay, so third grade spelling b if you. I'm gonna make a reference to a TV show. It's an old TV show, The Honeymooners, where the star of the show um is very cocky, Ralph Kramden. He's gonna win the name that tune show. This is my dollar questions.

My family categories popular music, right, and so he studies every single he knows every This is back in the fifties, so at that point it wasn't as much music as there is now. Every composer, songwriter, chart position. He studies for weeks and weeks and weeks. What is pal Ed Norton and every time? Ed on the piano because they don't have MP three players in the fifties, Ed plays the song, and he has to try to guess who

it is. Right, they're practicing, but in in order to get to get limbered up and to start, he has to play Swannee River and then we'll go into the song right. And then he played this right and and and Ralph would get very upset with him and say, would you just play the song? Yeah? Cut cut at that beginning, wind up a part, and go right to the song that I'm trying to guess, right, And he would say, but Ralph, that's how I get That's how I learned how to play. I have to do it.

So Ralph again the whole episode he's learning, He's like, if you like, let's say this was today's music, you go work Rihanna, you know two sixteen who wrote it the whole thing? Okay? Boom like David Boom Right, Okay, so right, So he goes on the show. He's been studying for like two weeks. Right, he knows every song ever written at that point in time. And in the host of the show says, uh, and he says, how do you feel I'm confident? He goes, kind, I'm going

straight to the top, straight to the top. So on this show you had to like answer like let's say, fifteen twenty questions and everything and and the sixty four dollar quick. No, he didn't get to hold on. He had he had to answer like a bunch of questions all the way up like millionaire, more and more questions, and he's going, I'm going right to the top. I know everything about music. Ask me anything. And so they so he goes, okay, for for one thousand dollars one

whatever it was, who sings this song? And he goes who sings? Swanny River said, didn't you say that? He said, who sings this song? And then he finally goes ed Norton, his friend because he doesn't know, and like, oh a sorry, and you're off the show. Off the show. And so he's like, off the show written by by John Thompson. But you're gonna have to leave. You're gonna have to leave. Like everything the guy says, encyclopedia of knowledge, but the most basic thing in front of his face, he didn't

bother to memorize. And that was so he went home with nothing. By the way, that is my favorite episode of the Honeymoon. Yes, it's every right, okay, so well here okay, So I was extra cocky the spelling b I'm the smartest kid in school. I was reading it a sixth grade level in second grade, So this thing is gonna be no problem. Well I wasn't cocky about it, but in my mind I was, you know, like I

was helping the teacher and everything like Okay. So they tell you the rules and they say, okay, so when you get the word, say the words, spell the word, repeat the word yes, okay, like uh, book be oh okay, book okay. So I get up there and I'm telling everybody I've been studying these words. I'm I'm ready to go. I'm studying like fifth grade words. I'm gonna kill this thing. Okay. So I get up there and you have to like walk on stage. They tell you the word, You do

what you're supposed to do, and you move on. So they go up there and go, uh, your word is angry and I smile and I go hey and g r y and they says, I'm sorry. Next, wait a second, but you spelled it right, Yeah, But what were the rules? The rules were. I had to say the words, spell the word, and then say the word again a second. I just said, I just said I just spelled it because I wasn't. I was so cocky that I was gonna nail everything. I didn't listen to the directions, and I,

that's bullshit. It's no, no, no no, no, no no. That wasn't a Ralph crammed in moment. That wasn't you. It was because I was like going right to the top, right to the top, and I went right off the stage. You spelled the word, right, Yeah, but I didn't follow the rules. So it's my point was they got you out on a technicality because they would jealous. Those little bastards know that the teacher and the principle who are running the contest. This was as much of a lesson

is following instructions as it was spelling words. And did you ever get the test they gave you this? There's another thing about following directions. I don't know if they still do this anymore. They handed out copies of papers to everybody, right, and it said, all right, there's a series of twenty questions and assignments on this paper. Uh, when you're done with all everything on the paper, just

turn it over and put your hands down. And when where everyone's done, we will move on and the first question said, uh, do not do anything until you read everything on the page. And then the first one says, like what's three times six or eighteen? And then the next one was what is a rectangle? Is how many sides it have? And then it was like math equations. So so I think, I see you're going and then I so I worked at all the problems and I nailed it, and I get to number two, let's say twenty,

and it says, do not do any thing. Put your pencil down, ignore all the questions. Because the first thing said do not do anything until you read the whole page. That's correct. But I was like, I'm gonna nail this thing. And I flew right through it and everybody in the class except one kid was like, oh, I'm not gonna do anything, and he read till the end and he put his hand. I was like, how did that? Because he follow the INSTRUC instruction. Brody, that's a character flaw

in life. I mean, you're you're now you're attacking me. I feel well, but you do that today, I mean you rush, you rush into like I know it, I know the answer. You're like the guy on family feud that gets up there and like goes and buzzes in the question, then finished the question. Here's the problem part of what makes me good my job here in writing so quickly as people are talking. And is it like the old game password? Right? You go hot the person cold? Right? Right?

You do it with me. I'll show how my brain works. You can give the clue. Okay, uh circle where no hot and cold? Um? Okay, so let's just say up. No, you don't follow directions cold hot, Give me the clue of hot ready, god, no, ready, ready and boiling? Oh my god, what are you talking about? Just say hot? Just say hot hot and the answer is cold, right, so you go gready do it? Hold? See up, I jumped on you because I'm already thinking what the answer is,

because I'm already anticipating the question. It's like, oh, what is the capital of Albany? Right? But it's New Mexico. And I'm like, oh, I should have said Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, one of them. Okay, whatever, it's I think it's Albuquerque. Anyway. If I'm wrong, I'm Polish. But your your brain is lightning, right, and so as long as I'm right, it's like wow,

he was right, like, I like, it's great. But if I'm every once in a while wrong, it's because I'm going too fast to wait around to think about it. But that's a cocky son of a bitch. Move. Well it's just where my mind work. But you see, but mine see Okay, So here's how my mind works. Listen to people. First, I like to listen to everything, and then don't have time for that, like just now, like I don't have time for you to finish your sentence.

Well that's not cool. Then you're not listening. How's your wife put up with you? She doesn't. That's the problem. Doesn't supposed to listen to your what here is the thing to what they said? But look, you remember that guy in sales that we we didn't like. Listen in response, There was a guy in sales that drove us crazy, drove was crazy. He was annoying, he bothered us, he pestered us, and we complained to his boss and he said, hey, Bob, this guy's driving his crazy. But l GP is still

here for some reason. No not, And and Bob, the current boss at the time, said, what makes him annoying is what makes him great, right, and what makes me good at my job right like like okay, like Elvis said, so we gotta put up with you like a selfish prick. Sometimes, No, not a selfish prick. It's like when Elvis called me out of nowhere yesterday and he said, Elvis dran our

our host. I assume everyone listened to our morning show, but they might not at this point he said out of nowhere, Hey, Brodie, what words sound funny right now? Some people would have to go oh um rudabaga like but he's like, oh, BROI, what where's art choke? You didn't even let him finish? Well, I let him finish, but like like I played like categories and board games. Okay,

for the sake of this part. The point was I screwed I. I screwed the pooch in this spelling beat because I was so quick to give the an I understand, and you know what, you learned your lesson, but you didn't because you still do it to this day. But I wanted to say, I can't help it for the sake of this podcast, can you, for the sake of can can try to down a little? I will try to slow it down for you, And that makes me. That makes me look bad. That's like you're insulting me. No,

I'm just listening. I'm just I'm just just slow it down because just just a notch. No, I will slow it down. I'm just explaining to you why I failed those two. You listen to me, I listen to you. We listen. We feed off each other. Now, sorry, I was looking at my notes. Would you say exactly you went with that? That's brody for you. So a couple of things. Wow, why do we even begin for today?

You want to attack me for something I don't have to attack you play something out Last week I had a problem with you because you had your interns in here sifting through resumes. We're trying to call their own replacements, calling people up for future interviews so those people could ultimately come in here and get the jobs and replace

them in the next time. And I found fault with you because you were talking about a party went to I wasn't invited to, and most people agreed mine was yours was a more serious offense and mine was a better complaint. Right, Well, okay, and we're not trying to do that. We're not playing tip for tip. No, But what happened? What happened since then, well you did something. The very next day you did something else, which, again

I find I find just the deplorable. You were like, hey, scary, I want you to meet so and tell has some some girl that you had up here. I'm like, oh, hi, how are you? And you're like, yeah, you know, she was the uh, the sixth out of five people. Yeah, deb she she was the sixth intern at of five people that got the job. So basically she was a runner up who didn't get the job. But you, out of the kindness of your heart, I suppose, invited her up for a tour of the radio station. So I'm like, this,

poor girl. She she knows she doesn't have the job. She knows she was a runner up, but now she's here in the building, walking around these very hallways, staring longingly at the job she doesn't have. That's like, that's like being the pizza delivery boy where you're delivering pizza to someone's house and you smell it but you can't eat it. It's like it's like, no, it's not because

the pizza is in the car with you. When you're delivering in someone's house and your mouth is watering, you're salivating. You're like, the smell is so good. I'm right here, it's right in front of me. But I have to deliver to these people. That's not the same thing. The same thing would be if you and another person were with a finalist to win a house and you didn't win the house, and he invites you over to his new house that he just won. That's that's an analogy.

I want the house, but but no, But that's how how could you do that to a poor girl? Okay, the poor girl, let me explain how it when so back in because I would just ignore her at that point, I'd be like, sorry, you don't get the job. Back in May was when I was doing my intern interviews for the summer. And we have fourteen interns here at the radio station that I hire every semester, but specifically five for the people that work on the phones at

your ritza and do post show production. This five morning show ish interns. But we have video interns and web interns and audio production interns, and we have fourteen total. So I only have five slots for the summer, and I try to get as many out of town students as I can because it's their only semester to intern. Okay, and then I have a lot of local people who live in the New York area that I I will bring back in September if I like. So, I really

like Deb. Her name is Deb. Great girl, Uh she did. I gave a practice assignments, as I do all of the applicants. She did a great job with that. She had funny stories about her mom that would have been gre it with the show. But I had, like, I had seven people for five slots, and it took me an extra week to look over their experience and look over their homework assignment and look over everything and really really study what they did. And I narrowed down to six and Deb was my was one of the six.

And then I gun to my head. I had to make a decision. I cannot hire six people, right, So I said, Deb, you're fantastic, but you know what, you're a rising junior. You can always come back next summer, because she's said out of town college student. I said, but I feel bad because you're so qualified. And we had a connection. We we told funny stories. You did great homework for me, I said, she said, And so she wrote me back and he says, no problem. I

had a backup plan. I got the other internship at a similar situation. Also, I really enjoyed the homework assignment. I've had so much fun. We skyped together for the interview because she was out of town, and I thought, and she said, you know, you know, maybe another time, maybe next and next summer. Niceaid, you know what if

you're in the summer in the city. Anyway, since I hadn't met her in the interview it was a skype interview, I'd love to meet you if you want to come and see the place, see if it's what you want to do, come in and meet everyone. And this way I get to know her better and see if it's something that you'd be interested in. Because I didn't really meet her, and sais, oh my god, I listened to the show. It would mean so much to me to be able to come up that even though I didn't

get the job. But she's putting herself through torture. Okay, the fact that she has in another internship as a backup. But even so, your management style is maybe a little different than mine. I genuinely relate to and bond with the people in intern here, and I felt really bad about not giving someone a very qualified and wonderful and funny and and a real radio background in college that I couldn't fit her in. I tried everything. I couldn't make it work. I wanted to put her in another

radio station in the building. They didn't have an opening. I tried everything. They said, you know what this girl deserves, if nothing else, to come up and meet the Money Show and whatever else. And now we're already kind of locked on her in for next summer, and she's thrilled about it. Okay, I just at the moment, it just looked like here she is for you know, she didn't

she didn't get the job. She knows she didn't get the job, and she's coming in here and she's staring at all these interns that did get the job, and she's like it's almost just like I don't know, she's watching everybody. And speaking of interns, I'm gonna bring one in for a quick, quick minute. Come in. Let me hold on a second here, Who is this Josh? I didn't know we have a button. You didn't know his name was Josh. Oh hey, Josh, come in here, put

headphones on. Letna talk to you. For a minute in turn Josh wearing a Stalwars shirt today. Than Josh, how you doing, man, Let's sit down, Sit down, be comfortable. How are you How long you've been in turning here? Josh? I already know the answer, but go ahead. Oh's around two months. Two months in year from Syracuse University, and I hired you as a summer intern after a skype interview, one of the few fortunates that that made it in.

And this was the only semester you were available because you got away to college not near here exactly, okay, and your senior going to be a senior. You're right, so this is really your only summer to intern with us. Now you've been two months. No, actually I'm gonna be a junior, so we have a shot. But anyway, but then you couldn't come back in September exactly. Now you've been here two months. Yes, you're here two days a

week for two months, exactly. Okay. Um, do you think Scary knows your name prior to me just saying your name here, you should know your name, right, yeah, because I don't work with him, you know, every day I'm here, but at least usually once a week so, yeah, you're here. It doesn't know your name I had you. Gotta be honest, I was waiting for I was wavering on your name.

It's okay. But here's the thing. Now, No, Josh, this semester the way it worked out just coincidentally out of the Uh, we have eleven interns on the morning show and three at night. I hired say that again for the we have we have a we have eleven interns. Of the eleven again, we have multiple departments. We have the regular morning show people. Josh does audio production with baldhead bald bald freed Grannie. He's one of bald interns.

We have video interns at work with Jake. They all work under me specifically, but uh, they all assigned to a different group. And then we have Webb in Turns at work with Kathleen on elvistran dot com. Right. Now, here's the thing. But Josh is the only male intern this semesters happened to work, right. But here's here's my issue because and this is me from an employer of talking. Okay,

you have to make yourself stand out somehow. You have to because otherwise you're just gonna be part of the pack, you're gonna be part of the sheep in a herd, and all the sheep look alike and they and I don't mean that as a disrespect, but like there's gotta be a way to kind of cross over the line, to have like a more spirited conversation. That's that that you get to show your feathers, you your p like I call it pea cocking, like look at me, and

then you become more memorable. And I don't think I think so many people don't do that very well. You know who does that? Sarah does that right there. You know what, I knew her names? Why did I know her name because we had on the air four times. But she's also she sticks out and she's like, hey, scary okay, let me let me pull the curtain back now. And what what scary Jones just said? By the way, tweet him at scary Jones okay, s k e er

y okay. Every hold on every semester, he says, to the people in your position whose names he doesn't remember, you got a peacock, you got a grandstake. Gotta get you name out there. You gotta you gotta show off. There's there's two things. Number one, if you show off too much. He comes to me and says that intern thinks who they are. They're very comfortable right away, and

I don't like it. They're very they're they're very like there's a happy medium, a happy and the other thing is And I'll be honest with you, Um, if you're a hot girl, that is how you show off you peacock by being hot. That's not true. And he'll go, hey, who's the No, I don't do that, and I do not do that. Stop it. I don't kill you, but I should. I should have known your name at this point.

The only male intern now, by the way, but I called If I called in Jake or Rrisa or Um or Kathleen, who run the other internship departments who he does not work for, they will know. I'll tell you why. They'll know because they work on that side of the glass. But if you call in Danielle, Bethany or Greg T, none of them will know his name. I'll tell you

why they'll know his name. They will not know. I'll tell you why they will know his name because Josh works in the studio with Ronnie recording all of your commercials and endorsements, and you all record with Josh twice a week, who does a great job, by the way, And Bethany has come to me and said, Josh is really great, He's personable. I like working with it, but don't know his name. Do you know how many times I've asked people on this show, I'm not gonna call

on one out, Hey, what's this? What's that in turns name over there? I have no clue, Okay, but I'm talking specifically about Josh. You said you don't work with him. Every time you go to record a commercial on on Tuesdays and Thursdays you record with John. Tell you one thing is for sure from here on out, I know Josh's name because this was that moment. This was the moment that was needed. No, no, but I made it

happen because you work with him. You go into a studio and you don't say hi, I'm scary and he's Hi, I'm Josh. The first two times I met and actually never say that actually has the same name as one of our show members, Josh coach Boy exactly. So it's a name. But people have interns all the time and they I mean, have have you ever had another internship. Yeah, and then how did that go? And it was it was really small, so there was only a couple other people. Yeah,

so most people knew my name. But my advice is more general. No, of course. And I think one of the things that I've always like had to work on is like I'm not amazing at initiating conversation or like initiating like a good conversation. But I'm I could talk forever. I could once we start going, I could talk to anybody for how long. But it's like one time when I started going to Syracuse. You know, you have a

lot of those mingali sessions. Uh, and my mom would be with me and she would start conversations and it was always very like cringe worthy, like the moms starting to talk to the other moms. But then that's how the conversations get initiated. And then I I've met people that are actually my friend. You're not a good opener, but you're a good volley guy, and you're a good clothing Exactly, I can I can carry a conversation and

close a conversation. Okay, so you have trouble meeting women, but once you're there and introduced, you'ry I want to bring to the show because Josh is going to Josh has had a tumultuous girlfriend situation this semester. I used to be like you. By the way, I'm telling you, I was bad at opening. I could never do it, I Josh, I swear to guy. I'm like now, girl, Now, girls,

just open form right. This is famous. By the way, if you're not an opener right, and you're someone that can continue a conversation, that means that Scary went into your studio multiple times and never opened up a conversation, never said, Hey, I'm Scary. What's your name? Josh? Hey, where do you go to school? And how long is it interning here for? And do you work? He could have had a conversation. The fact that you go to school with Smile and Stephen, one of our all time favorite.

By the way, Smile and Stephen knew his name from the very beginning. I'll never forget it. That's a guy whose name is in my head every day. But we had him on the air and Elvison, Hey, come in, Stephen, tell us your story. It wasn't that Steven went up to him and said, Hi, I'm Stevens. You need to get noticed. You need to do something to get on the air with us. Quick punch punch scary next time. But you know, you know, is it better to be a better an opener, a volley guy, or a closer.

I honestly think that you could be a great opener and then volley the conversation, but be bad at closing and if you can't close the deal, you're fucked. Yeah, yeah, okay, anyway, said Josh, I don't want to talk about your pros and cons list here, but Josh made a pros and cons list, and I disagree with some of the things on the list. I also disagree with the decision he made. I feel like, and we can talk about this in

a future podcast. I feel like he wrote the pros and cons list knowing already he was going pro even though the con list is much more substantial, and anyone looking at it that wasn't the guy writing the list would have gone con the hallway. Really, so I think, I think, I think my topic is gonna be and maybe if you have the balls, will read your list on the podcast and maybe on the big show on the other straight morning show. Is that I think if he really looked at it or someone else looked at it,

you'd go con all the way. Okay, Well, and I think it was it was a decision he made. Okay, he made a list of he needed to make a decision. He was thinking about a life choice. Okay, let's just say it isn't what it was. But let's say it was whether or not to buy to buy to buy a television, to buy a television or not. Okay, it wasn't that. It was something more life altering. And he made a list of why I should buy the TV

and why I shouldn't buy the TV. And the list of reasons to buy a TV was very like, I like TV. I've always had a TV, and the con list was TV's caused me to have seizures, like and so looking at this, he should have been like, dude, don't get the TV. You'll have a sea shore. But he was like, I need something to hang on my wall, Like that's really what it came did, And You're like, okay,

so we're gonna bring this to the show. I think, either the main show and we'll recap it here, or we'll do it in both places, all right, But I don't want to ambush him now if he's are you willing to do it next time? Probably? I'd like to see the list? Could I see the list? You wrote the list? Bro, I don't remember. You might want to take another look at that list. I'm gonna take a look at the list, and but it should be fine. Just know one I know can hear about this. Okay,

So no one Josh knows. Please don't listen to this podcast if you know. Josh turned the podcast off. Next time we're on. Okay, thank you, Jordan. It's a pleasure meeting you. All right, Thanks Josh. So uh, I was on my way up here in the elevator and I got blamed for something. I think I got blamed for something that I didn't do. And how do you get out of this? Okay, I'm gonna say that. So I want people listening. Once you hear this story, relate to it, but also think what a great story to get out

of it if you actually were guilty. Go ahead, Okay, here we go. Ready. I was in the I get I get on the elevator on on the lobby floor. It reeked the elevator. Somebody farted in the elevator and left, but the elevator was empty, so I couldn't blame anybody. I just walked in the elevator on the ground floor. I had to come up to the third floor. It

stops on the second floor. Somebody gets in and the stink was still there, and I'm like, ship, this person is freaking thinking that I just farted in the elevator. And then I get and then the third floor I get off. That person stays on. They were going up higher. I didn't know who the person was. So the point is, how do I, I must look at him, idiot to this person? How do you How would you even would I make a stupid comment? Would I'd be like, oh

my god, that reads anything you say? You look guilty. There's two ways out of that. What's wait number one? Because I I swear to God I did not do it. I walked into it on the ground floor, second floor, the very next floor, so the doors open up, someone comes in. If you walked into an elevator that didn't stink, that elevator would not have stopped it too. It's the universe. Fuck, it's Mury Murphy's law. Murphy's law, right, So here's what I would say, because I've had this situation, you have

two options. It also happens in the men's room here. Now, our bathroom is down the hall from us, but right across from the classic rock station. Okay, and so if anyone's coming from here, you've got time because you know it takes like at least forty seconds to walk down there. But if the guys come from the rock station the minute you walk in, they might be that twenty seconds later. Right. If you walk in and it stinks and they walk in way, that is that is one of your options.

Option one is to go, oh no and walk right out. And that's what you should have done on the elevators, because we have eight elevators. The minute you walked into to the to the stink room, right, you should have. You should gotten right off that thing because and but the probably is the problem. If you get on it and you get off because it stinks, and somebody sees

you get off, they're gonna know you did it. The other option is to pull your shirt over your face and go like this so it looks like you're as annoyed as anyone would be. Oh my god, that's great, that's my move. I walk out, coughing, like, oh God, don't go in there, because that's my way of saying I got hit with it too. It wasn't me Without no, I'll go, oh my god, don't go in there. Yeah, but then they'll be assumed like why what did you do? No? No, I make it look like I'm so offended by it.

Because if you stink up the place, you don't cover your face with the shirt. It's your stink. You know it. You get used to it. It's your it's your it's your perfume. Right, so you go blew up that toilet, but you don't cover your face. It's your it's your toilet shards. But if you cover your face and walk out and your hands are dry, you didn't wash your hands, You're like about face. You just don't go in there, dude, somebody destroyed it, and then you could blame somebody. You go,

I saw I do. It's that guy from the AM station, like blaming you walked out here little while ago. Blame somebody, but the elevator things tricky, But yeah, yeah, you're screwed. Yeah all right, Um, I've gotten off. Like if I'm going like the tenth floor and I get on a stinky elevator and the doors closed. I'll get off at like three and jump off rather than get caught, because if you're going to like the tenth floor, that's eight options of people stopping you. And no, no no, that's too

risky right there. Yeah, I figured no one's gonna catch this because I'm only going up three floors. But sure enough, second floor. Okay. By the way, there's an example of my brain. When I said you're getting on in the first floor, you're getting off the tenth floor. I said, there's eight options to get caught in the middle. I didn't have to think about how many. I knew it was a your brain is lightning. Yeah, but and I'm only pointing it out for the sake of the conversation.

But it gets me in trouble all the time because again you asked me about my wife. She'll say things like can you wait till I finished? And my answer is I really it, I'm trying. I'm trying anyway work it. Um. So that's so you had this problem with the bathroom that was not more than twenty minutes ago. Do you want my so you and I have we have a problem on the show because of current music and I have a bone to pick with you. And then I have a problem I had with customer service. Okay, I'll

save that for last. I mean, cheez, I mean every every podcast has to have a customer service. I have a customer service as you too. But please the floor recognizes David Brodie. Okay. So first of all, with current music, we started making fun of DJ Kalin, who we love Ja Kalin. At the beginning of every song he says, he says, go ahead, d Jack Kellen, that's one, and he says were the best music, which is his record label, right, and then he says major key right, and then he

says another one right. Those are like his four go to four not five. Right of every song that you've ever heard, he always says those, by the way, the latest song wild thoughts he has like treat he's got to get him in the very beginning, all all four of them in a row. No, but by the way, see you said that he's got five things. He's got he's got to spit them all out at the very beginning because he's got to get it out of his system, because he figures got to get him in in the

first right to the track. So one of the things he says is another one, right. So we we've been saying in the room and something's like, oh, Scary's going back from another hot dog, we go another one, and now it's become like, oh another pen or or if we do something well, we're like, we're the best phone taps. So we've been using his phrases in conversation all the time and it's getting out of hand. It really is.

So where did where does it end? Does it reach a I don't know, Like Greg t City was going to the bathroom. You're like, oh, he's taking another one, another one, but it's gonna die out another fan like Dann Daniel. It's sort of like and yeah, they you going with the white vans, right, I mean that we we went on like about a month of at and then that ended, and then more recently it was it was by Felicia Like last year was like, you know what,

you just did another analogy one right? Another example another one right? So so like this too shall pass David Brodie. So I feel like maybe the episode three we started with another podcast were the best podcast? Were the best podcast? Now is Kali gonna sue He's from you know, he's in listening distance. He he listens to the show. If he did, he'd be a major D. Major D. Took me a second to come up with that. I got you just a second though, because you're lightning fast man. Okay,

So that so I got that out of the way. Um. The other thing I wanted to mention was, Okay, so I want to I want to now come correct on you, come correct, Come correct. You have a thing. I know you're trying very hard, and I know you mean well. I don't look at the things I eat. I know things are either really bad or they're not really bad. So I love Chinese food. I know it's not the healthiest. And because I don't need vegetables. I know people can go you can order but on MSG and you can

order out oil like I don't care. I order often menu the unhealthy way. And that's really the point of my conversation. Scary is you're trying very hard, but I feel like it's for the wrong reasons, and it's I think you do it for the image of doing it and because you want to face Snapchat and Instagram pictures of it. Okay, what do you get? You research food? Sometimes when you go shopping. You will look for non GMOs, although I don't think you know what a GMO is

or why it's bad. You look for fair trade, although I don't think you truly know what fair trade means. You look for the butterfly logo, which I don't think you really know what the butterfly logo means. You look for gluten. You look for gluten free. You don't have a gluten problem, so there's no reason to do that. There's the biggest one. Gluten has nothing to do it with uh, with taste or calories, or you look for

the green and white U. S d A organics. You also look for organic and uh we got a case of someone sent up hamburgers or something. You're like organic and then you didn't take the grass fed a grass fed right corn fed? Okay, I've been watching as lately and I love Doctor Forget About, but he's about the chickens. The chickens are air chilled is the way to go, and not and fed a vegetarian diet with no antibiotics and of cage free and all that page free free range.

They were running around, they're running around having a great time. They're still gonna get palmed and putting my stomach. So what I'm saying is that's great if that's really who you are, a picture chicken walking around with cheese on its face. If you're someone that eats kosher or as a vegetarian, you do that, that's your life. But you don't go, I'm a vegetarian. I keep kosher, right, if you don't know the rules of kosher, if you're Jewish,

would kee kosher? Pork is something you're not supposed to eat, right. You can't keep kosher when you go shopping and then when someone brings up spare ribs and pork up here, you go, oh, pork, I gotta have it, because then you're not really keeping kosher. So you you live this life when you go to the grocery and then you come and go, oh, I got this great GMO free fair tray, bottle of pan. I only buy organic apples. Apples have to be organic. Right, do you know why?

You know the difference in organic and regular? Exactly my point? Right, Yeah, you know what the difference is a pound? Okay, so you don't correct me. I know that this benefits whatever, But the point is Skiery doesn't know the benefits are right, and that's great if that's who you are you want to be, But I feel like you should know what fair trade means and why it's important. Hold on. But when we get food up here at the radio station, which is almost every day, you run out for donuts

and eat six of them. You run out for the ribs and have three plates. You eat the crappiest oh mac and cheese with cheese sauce and hamburgers. Because I'm a foodie man, but like good stuff. But if I know a great restaurant is coming and then it's got like high ratings and stuff and I love it, I have to call bullshit because because okay, because this this food has GMOs. It's unfair trade. It's it's gluten mania running wild. Here's the thing, and it's unorganic. But it's delicious.

When I went through my my somewhat transformation, right where I lost, I went to the dr fat loss. And by the way, the listeners who followed these podcasts know about that because we talked about it. I I go through my weight fluctuations, I'm not I am nowhere near where I was when I was at and you good, and I've never I've always maintained, so I've I've been I've been a roller coaster of weight within within the means of my January to December diet. But I'm not

talking about eating healthy. If you want to come and have a salad or eat an apple. In the mind of the reason why I don't look like I did back in two thousand thirteen is because I've been able to control what's in my space when I go to the grocery store, control what's going on in my apartment

and my head. And one of the things we learned from from weight Watchers when we we did it a couple of years ago is if you have healthy food when you want to go for a snack, if the apples already cut up, you don't have to like, say, who wants to cut up an apple or whatever? If if the food is already prepared in containers, great, and if it's healthy. If you always have a healthy snack

or a bowl of fruit, it's great. I'm not talking about what you eat in terms of the actual I'm talking about You are not thinner because you eat an organic apple. You are not thinner because you're saying not to healthier because Okay, the fact that the chicken was running around the field before they cut its head off is not why you're thinner. It's the fact that you paid nine dollars at Whole Foods rather than four dollars at Whole Foods for like, you know, shop write brand

chicken breast, which tastes the same. Once you palm it and grill it and fry it, you're you're you're you. You look better. But it's not because you do this thing to make yourself. Just feel that their trade. How does I'm doing a healthier thing for myself if I buy like, let's just say, you know, the the ohs that look like that look like cheerios, but they're not because they have higher fiber of your fiber intake is less sugar, and it's it's not made with milled corn

or whatever. And and meanwhile, the big box stores and the big brands, they tend to have a tendency. So I'm sorry if you higher sodium, more sugar, and higher and lower if you look at first of all, if you look at a box cheerios, they're part of a heart healthy diet. Thank you, not a sponsor. Second of all, I'm not saying you want to if you want to eat a more healthy version of a cereal, it's not

what I'm talking about. I'm saying that you're looking for cereal that's fair trade, because that's the catch catchphrase, the buzzwords fair trade. Okay, I'll give you. I'll give you the example of where with my kick right now with coffee beans. I brought in my own coffee beans because I found this brand that has fair trade organic coffee beans, and I've replaced the beans inside of our coffee maker inside there because we have a we have a maker that crushes the beans on the spot and give you

a cup of coffee. I replaced those because on Dr Oz I saw no, no, it's true, Brodie easily, I'm laughing that obviously, aside from oil, like coffee is like the biggest crop in the world. It's like one of the biggest money making crops. It's you know, it's up there. So it also happens to be it all. Coffee also happens to be the most um the crop with the most um sprays and stuff to keep to keep the

crop good. Like what what do they put it when they call they put all these like yeah, so coffee, coffee beans are covered littered with with all these pesticides and stuff some companies. Right, So, so I'm figured, I'm putting all these chemicals into my all these chemicals are getting into my system. I'm drinking it daily, and I drink coffee more than anything else. I gotta change. I gotta do something for myself here. And if every once in a while, I have a cup of coffee that

is not organic, so be it. But the ones the coffee in my power that I'm controlling that I'm drinking in my possession every day, I'm trying to put organic in there. What's why is it that My point is you shouldn't not have organic? You're saying that, I say, I'm saying I'm I'm saying you're you're you're a fake, your poser, you're a vegetat. You a vegetatce you have vegetarian until the poll chops show up, and then you're all about the poll chop. You're you're thinking that my

mo is because you or your gmo. My gmo is because it looks cool, right, because it's like, oh, it's all image. I think it's just trendy. It's trendy. There you go. That's the word that I was sick for you to. Six months ago you were preaching about no GMOs and I said, what's a GMO? And you didn't know six months ago it's a genetically modified yes, but six months ago you heard it was we should be you know, staying away from it. So you're like, okay, I'm off of it, but but what but you know what?

You know what else is genetically modified? Seedless? Watermelon? Yeah, watermelon? I hate it, you know what? I love watermelon? And then no seeds. Now, first of all, I missed the spinning of the seeds. I get that. But you're trying to say that it's GMO watermelon the best look. I don't want to get into a GMO debates. Not what

I'm saying. I'm saying sometimes if you could make um twenty five pound pumpkin into a fifty pound pumpkin and more people can eat, and scientists who don't make money off of sales of produce before you get conspiracy theory on me, um, that might be a good thing. It might not. What I'm saying is you do it a little bit and you brag about it a lot. But then you don't mention when you're stuffing down the uh, the pastries and the cakes and the you know, the

fat trade thannyway. That's my that's my beef. I think you should live by it, do it all the time. Now, now we have competing customer service, you go first, Okay, I'm gonna can I share your music? I'll tell you what can I do a short customer service. Then you go your big one and I'll come in with the big But it is, but let's talk about the problems. Not music on our podcast should be used for consumer

customer service. So I'm not gonna get too much into it, but I want you to go to Albastan dot com and read my blog that's up right now. Right we're recording this on August three, Yeah, so right around the August three it should be up here. It says the Brody blog, but we all write blogs. Shovis rand dot com and I talked about how I wanted two bluetoothbrushes from Amazon because the pictures showed two blue toothbrushes from Oral being bluetooth brush right, not to brush blueteeth toothbrushes

that are blue tooth toothbrushes that are blue in your ear. No, hello, it's a toothbrush that's blue, not a bluetooth brush. To brush from bluetooth. I'm taking a bluetooth a brush that comes. By the way, I like the bluetooth pieces. I don't care if people go to look stupid in my car. I prefer to use the bluetooth, even though my car has no I like to hear the radio and when I'm on the phone. Okay, right, so he's talking about a right, so toothbrush that's colored blue. Well, yeah, so

the handles are blue. I love blue. I'm obsessed with Well I go to the read the blog, but the bottom line is and I love Amazon. I'm a prime member. I pointed out in the blog. I think. I think it's very amusing. People have really responded to it. I got one. I ordered two pack is I'm like, oh this Because a lot of them say colors may vary, this one did not. It showed the blue ones and

when I searched for blue, it showed up in my search. Um. And, by the way, Amazon one of the greatest websites and companies ever, their search functionality is the worst because if you search for like, oh, stereo, you'll get headphones, you'll get everything that isn't right, and you can search relevant and you can search price, but you can't search price relevant. So if you search lowest, the highest you get like bubble gum, like I don't want I want the cheapest stereo.

So they didn't show up blue mean geez listen, I'll lend this podcast right now. I can see what people leave you. So I didn't get blue bluetoothbrushes. The two packages arrived blue gray and blue gray one, blue one gray one, and so I returned them. Blah blah blah.

Long story short, I didn't get satisfaction. Read the blog podcast, and in a week or two, on like episode five of I'll read it on on here and you, and then I want listeners to tell me if I'm crazy or not, or if you read it on all this tran dot com tweets and let us know if we're crazy or not. And we'll read some of your responses next week. And I'll read my blog next week on episode four, episode three, I'll read it, but I want you to go read it elvis rand dot com and

let me know what you think. Um. And then if you want to tweet us, that's great. And if you want to email, what's the email. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com. Yeah, and you and scary I'll print about and we'll read them next week. Okay, So now what's your customer service? Hit the music? So you guys know like grubhub and seamless, and those are the the order to your house food right, So restaurants

that don't deliver, yeah, they have an app. These companies will go to those restaurants, grab the food and bring them to your house. Right. That's part of big city living. That's what we do. I mean if you're living in a rural area, you might not have a rural area. It would be like you order a cow, they shoot it and they bring it to your eyes exactly, or a deer exactly. Yeah, uh mail ordered deer anyway? Point is I order something off of delivery dot com. Okay,

I wanted to order from delivery dot com. I did that once. Well, now ever since they've been giving me these these messages like every other day, hey ten percent off, hey off, Oh my god, your next meal? Well I got a fifty offf that's half off a meal that's huge. So I said, all right, I'm gonna order from delivery dot Com tonight. So I go to my favorite Chinese restaurant.

I started putting all this stuff in my shopping cart, and it's loading up, loading up, because I figured, hey, I'm gonna be brody here and I'm gonna just order as much as they possibly counts. Put everything in my fridge, and just eat for the next week. Right, I don't care if I have left overs. Fill up the cart. Come to the part where it says enter promo code. So I copied and pasted the promo code from the email, and it said promo code expired. Now, like, wait a second.

I got this email at eleven o'clock in the morning yesterday and it said you have one day left now. Eleven am the day before is when the email came in. It says one day left. What does that mean, Brodie? It means you have the next day, the entire day of the next that's correct, the whole day. Apparently the promo code expired because I ordered God Forbid, I ordered dinner at four thirty in the afternoon the next day.

But apparently the twenty four hours from that email had expired, so that ship was only good to lunchtime, and I inspired four hours before. So I'm like, wait a second, tomorrow is inclusive of the entire business day. In my mind, I that promo code should have been good through dinner time at least, right because it said you have one more day because to me, the day having it should have said a time and a date. But it didn't. No,

it didn't have an expiration date. It just said you have one day left on this promo code at eleven am on when on Tuesday I ordered at four pm on Thursday. How is that not within the day? Well, because because most people ordered dinner on the app. Anyway, I'm sorry they met the meeting like twenty four hours from right now? This is expired. Did you call them? I emailed them and what they say? They wrote back to me and they said, thank you for contacting us

at delivery dot com. Please contact us directly to discuss the issue in question. And then and then they gave me a phone number which led to nowhere. The phone number is disconnected. It's not even the right phone number for this service. I'm so angry, you know. And they're local to their local to New York. I was, I'm not trying to put this out there, to this delivery there to me. They you know, they can do right by me very easily. But why couldn't they just issue

me credit right there in the email? Why couldn't they Why you know, why do they need me to call them and discuss further? What is they discuss? I put it out there, Give me a freaking credit, give me something, give me of my next order. That's all I'm looking for. Well, I mean, what would Brody do w W B D. I would relentlessly keep on them until they honored the coupon. This is difference between me and you. I've already given up. I'm like, no, no, no, don't give up. Um. I

would insist on a discount. I would insist on a refund. There was the refund to give. Because I didn't want to anything, I left. You know what I did just despite, I left the cart full. I copy and pasted it, and I put it in a cart and seamless and got fIF off my my my dinner, and I went to see which is their competitor. Okay, now listen, I want to use delivery dot Com. I've used them before. They've been great. They also do have laundry, you can

get alcohol. But I have better customers. I would because I'm a little obsessive. I would probably call seven or eight restaurants that use was delivery dot com and tell him I was going to place in order with you, but delivery dot com sucks. Yeah, But I don't want to be that guy though, I'm like, I'm not trying to listen. This isn't about trying to like. No, I'm surprised. I don't want to be that yelled reviewer that ships on a restaurant because I got bad service that one

time and I wanted to give him one start. You know what, I I listen, I'm not that guy. I don't like using my Twitter and my followers. You have a lot of followers. I have a decent amount of I don't. I didn't even put it on Twitter. I mentioned politely, you know how the mob does. I hate for something to happen to your business. You know, I I said to one company, I said, I have a I have a lot of social media followers, and I would love great company like yours to say something positive

about your company would go a long way. I would love to just say I had a great experience, but I'm not able to do that because you didn't do the right thing. This is poor customer service. And so I would say, you certainly wouldn't want a bad review in social media, and I would, you know, tag the account, which I did. I did that to one account and they direct message me and said I was so sorry, how can we help you? And through Twitter they fixed the problem, but the presson on the phone did not.

So sometimes using social media they immediately they immediately called me an help me. And now the company is having the problem with what can we send you for free? What can we do? It's nice, but you see, you shouldn't have to you shouldn't. But now I'm going to go take that extra step and I'm gonna actually they give they finally, I said, your numbers just connected. They give you another phone number. I'm gonna call them to should but what do I tell them give me my

fifty off like you hold them? Or do I wait for them to make a jest? You should say you guys were gracious enough to give me this fifty percent coupon. I'm a loyal customer and I've got many coupons. I've used his service. You can check my account. I love you guys, but it's a little misleading and disappointing that might I was rewarded for my service by being given a fifty percent coupon, right as a good customer, you gave me this thing, and I feel like I didn't

get to use it because of non specific terminology. There you go, that's the word I was looking for, and you have one day left. I didn't know that one day meant one day from eleven am, and I, as a customer, made in what I thought was an honest decision to use it within the day. It was not the same terminology you use. There's no way for me to know that as a consumer. Going forward, you should

probably change that and make it more obvious. But in this case, I'd like you to make an exception so I can continue to be a wonderful customer and tell all my friends and you social media. That's so. That's how you get your free desert, David Brodie. Sometimes you have to be nice about it. If not, calm up and scream, what is it? What do they say? You catch more flies? You catch more bees? Right now, sitting

here listening to you. I was going to talk about the car dealership I had the problem with, and I'm going to do that, but sitting here, I look and I'm looking here. On my piece of paper, I wrote down three other problems I've had with through the company, another problem. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to save those three for episode three, right, because we have way too much, because we could do a whole pod.

But I would like to talk about how I actually lost my temper and got Brooklyn on the person I called I needed help. So here's the situation to me. I have owned many cars in my life, and everyone has been an American car. Now some of them are put together in Mexico or Canada. But I've only owned Oldsmobile, Dodge, Ford, Chrysler, I've only owned uh Pontiac. I've only owned American brand cars. Okay,

and you come to expect certain things. I finally bought a foreign car that may may not have been assembled in America, but it's a foreign company, doesn't matter which one. And so the booklet that it comes with, although written in English, doesn't seem to be written the way an American owners manual should be written, Now, when you wanna, for instance, set the garage door opener buttons, you would think if you open the manual, it would be under garage door openers under g y No. I thought maybe

it's under instrument instrument cluster. No, it was not. It was it was list under UM. I don't even remember, but it was not under garage door openers, door openers nothing. I had to go on YouTube and see a video of how to program the garage door openers because they will unlike any American car vone where they're all the same. Okay, So we had to get our first oil change. Yeah, okay. And it's my wife's car and she says to me, do I need regular oil? Is synthetic on the car?

Because I can't find it in the owner's manual. I said, well, let me look. I look at the owner's manual and it says choose a motor oil with this viscosity, right, But it doesn't clearly say under oil on the oil changes the type of oil or whether or not you need synthetic or not. Okay, I looked. I googled it, because that's what you do. If you can't see you just google it. No, listings on Google for what type

of oil does this car with a turbo do? So, I said, look, I don't want to give the wrong information. I have never owned a car that was mandatorially synthetic. And when you use synthetic oil, it's a lot more money. Now, it lasts longer, but it's a lot more money. And if you go to a dealership like an oil place, instead of thirty five dollars, it's eighty five. But if you go to Walmart and buy the oil, it's like ten dollars more. There's no excuse. They rip you off.

They screw you with the oil change. I'm gonna jump to the end. You actually but I'm also but I'm also a storyteller and I like to give details. Now, I went to my mechanic, who I have a local guy in the neighborhood. He brought the oil of Walmart for twenty bucks. Love Walmart put it in for twenty cost me forty five dollars. I gave him a tim So forty five bucks is a great okay, But I didn't I didn't know at the time. I couldn't find it online. Does this car absolutely requires synthetic? So I

called up the dealership. What did they say? Now when you call the dealership, he's got a piece of paper in front of him. Everybody, when when you call up the dealer, show you push like three for service. So I get the main receptionist and I say, uh, is this service? No? What do you need? So I I want to phrase the question. I'm calling about my car. I have a question about the oil. Now, if this was service, I would have said, I have a question as to whether or not I need synthetic in the

car you sold me. I just want to know. I should have asked when I bought it, but I didn't. I think it's in the owner's manual. Okay. So I say, I'm calling because I have a question about the type of oil it goes in my car, figuring she'll transfer me to the person to answer that question. She's hold on those hold on please, And I hadn't finished my thought. I figured you can put me into service. She comes

back and she says regular. I said, excuse me, it takes regular I said, um, what do you mean regular? It takes regular gas? So I said, I'm sorry I didn't ask you if it took regular gas. I've owned the car for two months now, I had better know it takes regular gas. I know I didn't buy a diesel engine car, so my only options are you know, premium, right, Okay, I know it takes regular gas. I didn't ask you that this is this is becoming a bad customer service nightmare.

So I said, I asked you I had. My question was about oil. And I then go to explain it and just hold on and she comes back and after like five minutes and she says mobile. I said, what mobile? I said, that's not a sentence. What are the words before mobile? And she says mobile oil. So I said, she was she thought that she was trying to give you an answer, was trying to beat you to the punch. She was doing what you admitted to doing in the beginning of this book. It's like trying to find out

the answer before the question. Okay, So she says, I said, okay, I'm I'm not trying to ask you the brand I should buy. Mobile is a brand. I'm trying to find out what type of oil I should buy for this car? Are from my car? I haven't even told you what car I have yet, so she says. So she says, um, she says, Honda, right, because they sell those two among other cause that is honder und I said, what happens to be hand to hold on? She comes back and

she says, I was right, it's mobile. And I said, I don't know what question you're asking, but that's not the question I'm asking. I'm asking whether or not it needs synthetic or regular. And wait, wait, it's not in the owner's manual. And she says regular mobile. I said, can you please give me someone in service? And she puts me on hold. And she comes back and she says, I double checked, sir. I said, great, what she goes mobile?

So I said, you're not fucking lesson to me? And then she hung up on me and would not answer the phone. Why wouldn't she just connect you with service? So I called a different dealership because I didn't. I didn't call the dealership where I bought the car. Maybe you should have done that to begin with. I understand that you know you're David Brody. I understand your dealership. The dealership I bought the car is wonderful, okay, But I called the one near me because I'm gonna go

there when I need service. It's closer obviously not anymore right. I called the dealership that I bought the car that you want to shout them out, Um, yes, I bought the car at Plaza Honda Plaza Honda in Brooklyn, New York. And when I called them, they were like, oh, absolutely you need some were beautiful, they told me everything, but the one in New Jersey near my house. I'm not going to mention their name, but screw you guys. Screw you guys. So my point is I cursed them, and

I'm very upset. And because the podcast you're holding hostage, I'm calling about the oil regular and she thought I asked for gas. I just she This woman was not anyone whom any about cars. And I'm very upset. But will your next week consol console. I can't wait for next week. Morland story is when you buy a Pearn car, they should write the manual like an American man. You taking calls on this podcast in the future one eight hundred hundred, the phone might be ringing here and there.

You never know what's what. You can't give the phone number out on the podcast, but we can never hear when they're when when we we can, Eventually we can eventually get it out there on our pages, and we and our social we can get it out there on the phone number and we can. We don't record the same day at the same time. No people are going to go the phone's ringing right now. So yes, because we were here at a radio station, people are calling

to request song. Hello, Hello, who's this? You're on the Brooklyn Boys podcast, the Boys podcast. You set me up? I know that sexy voice. Really God, I miss you, guys, I miss you too. Okay, So, in case anyone's listening to our podcast who doesn't know Share, which I can't imagine that's the case, but just in case, can explain, explain who Share is to the your life, your podcast? What you anyway? So so real quick, uh I share?

So first of all, Share Share Cheryl Cheryl Cosenza is actually a friend of mine from way back in the day in case you never listened to any of the podcasts, but then she became a team member of our off air show podcast with me and Greg t and Bald Freed Grani And now that that has been has like exploded, that podcast is done. Um uh shar and I wanted to do something on our own the same way, Brody and I decided to start up a new podcast. So

so we're kind of at a crossroads. This is a lot of transition time for podcasting, but it's a good time because it's summer, and like we all know that are an entertainment Summers the time to make transitions and kind of you know, spruce things up for the new year in September, right we're trying to get are getting stuff together for the fall season. So so while while we were doing some trial runs on our Brooklyn Boys podcast here you know, getting these these episodes down, I

have Share on the phone. Where are you, by the way, because we we gotta start nailing down our the podcast you and I are going to do together? Where are you? Oh, we will be nailing that down real soon. I mean we have been talking like every day. Let's be honest. Where I'm in right now for Los Angeles? Yeah, so I'm in l A. I'm heading down to Santa Monica and we might want to tell everybody if they don't

know that. So part of what I do with the podcast, if you're unfamiliar with it, is I take my brand, which is called Share Knows, and I give kind of like segments on anything you want to know, from entertainment to um meaning like acting, which is my first and foremost things, to modeling, from anything in the fashion world. And then this little side thing called front of It. I works anything that has to do with investigations, infidelity, all that fun stuff that goes on in the world infidelity,

and I think of fun. I think of infidelity. By the way, if my wife calls you hang up. Yeah, well listen, the best thing that you guys have going for you as on your body stuff. You realize that, right, Like that's a really good thing in the pure high world. So yeah, So I'm out in l A. So I live by Coastal Amount in l A right now, which you guys know, And I'm out here for TV and film because this is a really big episodic time and things are gearing up, and I've been visiting the people

And if anybody wants to check out some of the stuff, they could go to my IMDb page and they'll be

able to get dates on stuff that's getting released. What I'm gonna be doing my Share Nose appearances on talk shows like I was on Fox and recently you do what you do what we call that doing the circuit in the business than you. And if I could clarify something because in case you don't know share or share nose, it's not n O s E. It's k O w s. That's right, Because when I first heard share nose, I'm like, what's wrong with her nose? Like I didn't you have

a beautiful nose? Oh my god. It's like it's like if you went to school with a girl with a big nose name Share, then your buddies were like, oh, that girl's got a share nose. But funny, I love so it should be like it should be like share nose, like share nose stuff right exactly like the deal and she's, oh, you have a you have a you have a problem with whatever Share knows she did. She'll help you out. But yeah, so it's not like Share has a nose,

like she sniffed stuff out right. Well, she knew that we were she knew we were doing our podcast today, So it's kind of cool. Thank you for surprising us with this call. I you know what, I had to call in because I'm like, hello, number one fan, and I want you guys to know something. And I don't know if we have a great overflow of all our air show fans here, but I do want to tell you that, Um, I've seen such supportive emails on both sides Brooklyn Boys and everything that's coming out with you

sure know it's scary. And I just want to tell everybody that I think is awesome and I think everything that's going on is great. I think change is good and I'm all for it. I can't wait to get back in the studios to hide everybody, right. So okay, So and so when in the next couple of weeks, you and I are gonna lay down our first podcast, uh, And we don't have a name for it yet, although week I kind of I ran a couple of potential titles by Brody and he's like, uh, I don't know,

He's I don't know. I don't know should we should put some of the potential podcast names out there because we're gonna open up a can then people are gonna start tweeting us and texting us. I don't know, you know, I'm nervous about that. I kind of wanted to know if people knew what we were talking about when we were kind of saying that that word, because you seem to think people didn't. But I don't even know if

we should put it out there. I told Brodie in private, well, I thought the name of the the problem is so it's it's you, you, it's um, it's she we were thinking of. She talks, he balks, meaning like almost like as she said, he said, where you say something, and then I'd be like what And then because the word book is actually exactly scary, and sure it's basically scary. Looking at me, going and hesitating for a second and then kind of needing a little too vincing, and he's like,

oh my god, that is exactly Oh my god. If she's not believes I don't need to see it that way. What are you thinking? Sometimes sometimes he doesn't see it that way, but he still goes. You know, even if I don't fully see it that way. I kind of get the first now that you know what this was

just here. This was like when you when you tell everybody what you're thinking of naming your kids, and I hate it, And then everybody's going to give you a million opinions because here they come, go ahead, starting with you, David Brodie. So so here's the thing. First of all, as a sports fan, when you said balk, I immediately thought of a baseball term when a pitcher ball right right, yeah? And then I thought, well, what about scary squawks because like he's like, well, I no, like he like he

would spawk. And then I saw it's scary GalKs because you're hot and he stares at you. But that so yeah, yeah, yeah. Also scary walks like he walks away from your opinion. He's like, I can't take this anymore. He walks away, he talks, he walks like. But then I thought, then I think, walk, I'm supposed to come around. I'm supposed to first disagree and then you know, then I hear

what she has to say and I like. But then I thought, why don't we make it like truthful and call it like share talks scary stalks because it's sort of a stalker, you know. But then I thought, what about Share Nose and Scary Blows like she she knows stuff and his opinions are terrible. Oh well, I don't know if I want. Aren't that title Share Nose and

Scary Boys? All right, well, well it's it'sn't work in progress. Listen, we have We're gonna roll out of here because we're gonna end the podcast now, but we wanted to put it out there. We're all on our summer vacations still. Uh, you're doing your auditions, you're doing your l a thing, and we're gonna have it together in the next couple of weeks. We will, we will and will welcome together. We're still waiting on a logo for the Brooklyn Boys

podcast to be permanent. We listen, this is good. You know. It's slow, slow transitions everywhere and scary. I just want to remind everybody if they want to start sending in and keep sending in these questions because I keep doing FaceTime line guys, So did you please everybody tweet her at Share Nose with all your questions problems, because we're gonna need them. We're gonna ramp up real quick. When we do start, I think we should have them go over to the Facebook page. There's a share and I

think that's where all the communications should lie right now. Okay, so at Cheryl, it's the at at share Nose fan page. Will just Google at share Nose on Facebook. All right, Okay, how about this? How about this? How about this? How

about um? You shorten it would take your names out and make it like, you know, like um, she's and fries, like just two words that are like quick like like uh, you know, like like she speaks and like I was thinking, she speaks, he tweaks like he's like he gives his opinion, he tweaks it, but like speaks and tweaks. He freaks, speaks and freaks or something like that. We because the words that people have to like, you know, have you

listen to speaks and freaks. But he talked like she's we like she said, he said, but there's a million, he said. She said, there's a million of them. But what about she said, he's stupid like something funny like something that's doesn't that doesn't it's not what you expected. Okay, we're gonna play off of that going she knows he's confused. All right, thank you, share, enjoying, take care. Um and uh, what I wanted to say was, and I meant this in episode one, we need Brodie. We we do want

you to send your parody songs in Uh. And and here's something I wanted to add to today because people wanted to do the Grammar Police podcast. I meant to say this at the beginning. Why don't you send us hilarious grammar mistakes that you see in public? Send it into us. We met read them. I like that. I like audience interaction. I got it. I love when people submit stuff to us. So if you want to, if you want to contribute into podcast, people can just make

that up. If you take pictures of signs, you know what, we'll tweet them out. That's what I'm saying. That's that's fine. Pictures of signs. And if you have some suggests, feel like we're Jimmy Fallon now. No, but it's different. He does bad signs. I didn't. I didn't know that. Yeah, anybody could do bad signs. Did bad signs. I don't know. It's funny the Grammar Police. Anyway, we'll talk the point is, I like, I want to retweet some of your stuff.

We like the interactive thing. Uh, send us up some parody songs. Maybe we'll play them the corrected somebody with Somebody said the lyrics, they did an amazing job. And then you were like, okay, what we What we discussed last week was that I'm going to be doing every week, every few weeks a new Brooklyn Boys song. Um and I already done. I've already done two, and I said, on occasion, I'll just keep spitting out some new ones. But if you had an idea for one, send me

the idea. But I do like if people want to get into garage band on their own and actually put something together, I mean kind of, but it's got to be about the Brooklyn Boys and what you think about the really short like we did just quick the Boys in Brooklyn Brooklyn Boys, but somebody wrote a really long one that talked about old things other people, and it was just not really what we're going for Brooklyn Boys. Like, if you do like I'm gonna like you do bad Boys,

You know, if you did like Brooklyn Boys, Brooklyn Boys, I'm gonna do that like, that's an example of what I may do going forward, you know, like Brooklyn Boys for life.

Send it in, but send us your grammar science if you see some stuff whatever you want to send mystery I'm sending to me. I hate bad grads. Don't send me the ideas for
