#209: Drum Solo Sex Break

dropped it. Yeah, we didn't drop last week until Friday because even though we recorded it Wednesday afternoon, roughly, our new uploading system that they've been teasing us with for months was not ready. Yep, we got new software, folks, new software. It's the Boys is poring poring over to the new system on Wednesday. But it's in visible to the slices. Yeah, you're not gone anything. It's all on the back end. Then we got an email on Tuesday that said don't upload anything to you hear from us

on a Tuesday. So then I sent an email to the big Boss and I said, hey, because the site's not ready, we already recorded Kent. Now this is this is where I thought it was a funny response. Not intentionally, I said, can we upload on the old site or should we wait until you give us the clear for the new site, and they wrote and they and they wrote back, yes, go ahead. Of course I love that, love the ambiguity, like, wait a minute, I asked you to. I gave you two choices yes, So then I, when

I wrote back, I had to wait that. The next response was not quick, so we didn't know what to do. And finally the Big boss said go ahead and put it on the new system now, which was Friday. Lo

and behold. We recorded last week's episode on Wednesday evening afternoon afternoon, I believe, right, yeah, so we had to hold it for forty eight hours, right, So just remember I got the approval to the yes, go ahead, which I didn't know what it meant on Thursday morning and didn't get the what what I really meant on Friday. Imagine holding in a dump for forty eight hours. So we had this thing and people like, what no podcast

this week? So we gave you the dump. We gave you a giant dump on Friday, a dump of a podcast. And it looks like and again, by the time you hear this, you have already heard that. But as we're recording this, you can listen to this, or you can listen to that. You could go with this, you can go with that. I think you go with this because but but first go with that, because you gotta listen in order. Anyway, So this is on time. It's Thursday.

We didn't do it on Wednesday because we wanted to give you the extra time because people are catching up to last week. And then I got some tweets that were like, oh, you guys are in studio. I heard Brodie's in studio. I know you're gonna record in studio Wednesday. No, we didn't. Didn't happen, did not happen. But it may it may soon soon enough, we may be back. Yeah, we just you have to plan for it. And there were post show interviews and sales things, and we couldn't

do it. I am staring at this card that I've yet to mail, that's been sitting here on the literally on the board where I'm wehearing, you know, my six hundred forty seven million dollar piece of equipment. Yes, yes, well it's it's a wedding card, but it's one of the you know, the fancy ones papyrus. So it says and it's said to gave Nate for his wedding A game a papyrus card. Well, well, I will say that you have to pre pay a lot for papyrus and you start to stutter so much because of paycheck for

a papus price is so and posters. You want to give it to the the special people people peep. Well, in fact, I will say with the papyrus card, it does. It does say on the top right corner um ex financing available, extra posted, extra extra posted required. So so that you're paying a premium premium. That's priors card. You pay up of a premium for a papyrus and not only do you papaya premium, but you have to papay extra po postage. I'm not that kind of a person

to buy a paprius. You want to talk about multiple eying the cost of a papyrus so so yeah, no, no, not the cost the paprice. Yea of a papyrus. So so what is packed in the papyrus card? It's a UM. It's actually a wedding card for two people. People who was invited to this wedding. That um of an acquaintance. H that I didn't go to the wedding. Now the wedding happened. Um, it was about it was a few weeks ago. Yeah, it was not this past week. No, no, not, Actually,

the wedding was several months ago. It was. It was actually December. It was December, and here we are in a parole. No, no, it's March. I'm sorry. I just wanted to And as I'm sitting here, I'm like, all right, I wasn't didn't go to the wedding. I had something else to do. So I finally got this card a couple of about a week ago, and I put a couple of uh you know, some cashish in the car. So it's sitting here and some paper waiting for extra pro postage because my stamps are in this drawer here.

Now it's been about four or five days since I sealed the card. Hold on one second, I have a TV on in the background, and they've got Vladimir Puputin talking about Russian proper pupagandis the propagandapaganda? Yes, right, okay, so my so the cause has been sitting here and I put some cash in here. I put cash. So wedding I didn't go to. That happened in December of the aquaintance. You see where I'm going with this. Yeah, yeah, I feel like they're just they're passing friends at best.

I don't well, at this point, they already think you're a dick if for not giving you if I heard that you have a full year before you have to give a gift, you can you can give a gift up to a year and it's proper, per, proper, Okay. So so my question now is because it's sitting here for like a few days, by the way, or or do we just rip open the card right here on this podcast and just grab the cash out of it and say, fuck it, I'm not giving these people a

gift and they probably probably forgot about me. Huh. By the way, I don't know. I know you're not very good friends with these people. But do you do you have any idea how we proposed No, okay, I don't think you owe them the money. To be honest with you, I think I think you could take the cash and uh and leave it at that. What are they can do not invite to the next thing you didn't really want to go. It's like the problem. The problem is they've given me too much time to think the extra

postage on this. Okay, no more p things, Okay, this is all right, it's over, game over um. But the truth is the fact that I hesitated on the stamps, and I'm now in a different frame of mind four or five days later that I'm standing sitting here staring at this, at this envelope, and I'm like, I know there's cash in there, and now I feel a little different than I did the other day. I still didn't

put the stamps on the card. I should just say, rip it, open, fuck it, put the money back in my wallet, and and just you know, they'll never know who's the wiser, right I don't know? Or should I just go through and give them the cat? I don't know. I mean, I mean I could see cash leaving my leaving my It's like they got the wings on it. It's flying away. You know, I had too much time to think I hesitated. Say so now it takes on

a whole new life. Would you just would you take the can put it back in your asking me, I'm taking the cash. Listen, I went I have a follow up story, but it was already earmarked. The problem is already marked for them. I already parted with it. See, I didn't do the double p thing there. I already parted with the cash it took it. It came out of my wallet in the beginning of the week again and again. All I needed was the extra postage on it.

And uh, I decided to let it sit here. But now that it's marinating, it's given me a chance to think twice. Well, I was in a similar situation. I'm gonna tell you the problem with the situation, but let me just say the situation. I' I'm just gonna make it the short version right here. I was giving someone multiple gift cards for their birthday, Okay, all right, And so I picked up the multiple gift cards at Target. And when I rent to ring them up, there was

a problem. I'll get to the problem X. I don't want to hijack your story, but in the time, it's more of a dilemma. Well, I'm you know what I'm saying. I don't want to change I want to stick on your on your story. First, there is a problem with the gift cards, which I'll tell you later. And when I figured out the problem and and fix the problem, I had already time to rethink it. And I'm only giving the person one gift card like I I was.

In other words, I was ready to go, but I got time to think about it, and I'm It's like it's like you're gonna go on a big ski lift, right big mountain. Then the ski lift breaks for two hours and then they fix it and you go, Nah, that mountains to contemplated. Well, I feel like we do this a lot because when we think of something to not do it, or you're impulsive and you're not thinking too much about it, but then when you've given time

to think that, it sucks you up. Your home psyche doesn't Don't They do this with icing the kicker in football, where well that's the theory or they you know, they take the time out and they're like, he's gonna they can take the time out right before they kick the fields. Got he's think now maybe I should kick it this way instead or do this? And what compensate for the wind? That wasn't thinking about the wind, and you you end

up sucking it up. So I feel like we do this every in everyday life, not just with wedding cards. There are people that would tell you it's a sign that you don't have to send the money like it's meant to be, like it's it's your money now. The fact that Papyrus called for extra postage and I sat here looking for extra stamps for extra five days and the card is it's still and listen, it's ready to go, it's filled out. No way to be honest, though, dude,

but I just knowing there's do you like velope? Okay? Do you like them enough? Do you like them enough to get them up a Pirus card? Or did you get them up a Pirrus card because you want to show off that you bought up a Pyrus card, because you bought a really expensive card for people you don't really care about. For weddings, I usually go the extra mile and I pay these people you don't really like. You're like that, you know, you know what I mean?

You don't really like buddy buddy with that didn't show with the wedding, right, but you were gonna give? How much were you gonna give if you showed up? Well, probably a little more because I would have eaten right, I would have brought a guest. I would have robbing with me. So you're talking like double the money. I would have doubled the money okay, And for those who don't know, in the Northeast, we give cash. Oh yeah, that's important to say people, because these guys crazy minds.

People will either give cash, we buy something off their registry. Scary as Italian, he gives cash or right, or he writes a check, but he doesn't do the check until he sees if it's a nice wedding. These wedding plates or cost like three fours a night on a on a Saturday night in these in these wedding halls. So you you kind of cover the car. I mean, there's a whole theory. Do you cover the cost of the plate?

You know, here's nothing you're gonna give two dollars to people you're not very friendly with, Right, you're thinking about it, and you didn't go to the wedding. And yet I know a few months ago you didn't go to a wedding of someone else and you gave them less than that and you're friendly with them. Wait a second, who is this? Who is out? I talked about it just a couple of days ago. Oh okay, yes, so how can you go and give these people more money and

you didn't even go to the wedding? Then your friend whose wedding you didn't go to. You gave them less, so I would send them a hundred and meet him halfway. Hey, here's a honey a hundy in a nice Papyrus card. But then you know what they're gonna do. Then go This son of a bitch can buy up a Pirrus card and it only gives us a hundreds, So you gotta get it. You gotta get a cheaper card. Did

you write in the card like Mary and Steve congratulations? Yeah, well then save it for the anniversary, give it to him in a year from now. I might have to rip up the envelope to get the cash anyway. So envelope though, you know what, it's a Pirus envelope. This is this is a heavy, heavy duty paper. You know what you didn't eat, you didn't go, you barely know him. Hundred bucks they'll be you know why because now it's bonus.

Now should I should take a hundred dollars back, put it in my wallet and then wi a albody, I'm gonna eat the cost of the papyris and still have to buy another card. No, put the hunter back in the card and seal the envelope steven open, We'll go into the store and just grab an envelope. No one counts the envelopes. Now you give him a hundred, you know why whoa whoa, whoa j don't say ju ju when it comes to money. Listen, if you gave them

a hundred dollars in December. See now they're opening up ens. Yeah right right, So here's what, here's my theory. If you open that. If they opened up your card and everybody else's cards in December, right, they come back from the honeymoon, they're opening up cards. They're like, oh, four hundred from Phil and uh oh look the Henderson's. They gave us four hundred. All right, you're like, oh, scary, a hundred. That's that's not right. But now now you

send it in March, it's found money. Now they're like, oh, bonus money. He didn't have to do that. That's very nice. Hundred hundred dollars, right, weren't expecting it. This is bonus hundred. Now you're gonna get the same thank you the two hundred. They're not gonna remember you six months from now. Either way, they're not gonna say I'm a cheap fuck. No hundred bucks bonus boom ship money inflation gas prices give him

a hundred bucks. Don't the like it? Case closed? So I feel like now I feel like I should tell you what happened with the with the gift cards. Yeah? Please? So I'm in I'm in Target, and I'm not blaming Targets, not their fault. I go into the wall of gift cards, okay, and I want I need. By the way, since when do we have a streamline show where we actually like flow from one topic to the next without things up? How you go off on tangents? Hey about the oranges

I bought yesterday. So I'm at Target and I go to the big gift card wall and you know, my eyesight is not perfect, but I can see the big hundreds on the card. And so I needed five hundred all the gift cards. Three hundred for somebody for their birthday. Who's they They've earned it, They're special in my life, close associate, you know, relative. And I needed a couple of hundred gift cards for two hundreds for other people.

So I need five hundred all the gift cards. So I do a little shopping and I get gift cards, and I want to put the gift cards on a separate card, not the card I'm buying groceries and and and target bullshit with. So I take out my miscellaneous card that I used for special things, and I put the I go to scan the card and it says A hundred and six dollars? What I go? So I don't look at the screen carefully. I just go, son

of a bitch, they must be charging me tax. So I stopped, and I google and it says New Jersey doesn't charge tax on gift cards because and you shouldn't be charged tax on gift cards because you get charged on tax when you spend it. You pay sales tax. Where did you wait? Where did you buy? Where did you buy these cart New Jersey tax? I get that. So then I'm thinking I gotta pay I gotta pay thirty dollars in tax to buy gift cards. I'd rather just write checks two people. And I'm not I'm not

gonna get the gift cards of this tax. So I go with a customer service. I say, excuse me, I think your computers are wrong. They just charge me tax. Now, I the taxes and six percent in New Jersey. But I just instantly thought it was tax. I don't know why tax. There's your activation fee? What? What? What? What? What? That's why I asked you where you bought it, because I have to pay. Well, it's on the card, so I have to pay six dollars to Amex for the right to give them a hundred dollars so that I

can spend it. And then when I use it in the store, the store then pays Amex for using the credit card. That's how credit by the way, that's how the gift cards work. That's why they why why do did they have a huge gift card tree in their store? Because it's free money for if I if I, but if I buy a Dicks Sporting Goods, they don't. They don't charge me a fee because it's right to Dicks. It's only Amex and Visa and master Card. So hold on.

Most I looked at all the other ones. All the other ones don't charge you, at least in Target, and I saw, I know you're thinking, and Applebee's one. I'm telling you the ones I noticed had no activation fore the ones that are sold for the store. Because now the money is going right to the store. Dick Sporting Goods gets the gets the whole hundred or ninety whatever

whatever there is, they get the money. So if I'm in Walgreens and I want to buy a let's say Nike Nike Superstore sneaker Store gift card, then they may charge you. I don't know. I don't know. I thought, what's the but what's the perk and what's why would you give it a wh would Walgreens want to carry that? Well, they must get a couple of bucks for selling it on the back end, right, Like every gift card you sell, the money comes out of their out of the company's pod.

So I googled hundred allar gift cards that don't charge you. And there are banks that have a deal with Visa, Like let's just say, like Mike's Bank, Mike's Bank, you get a Visa hundred dollar card. There's no activation for hunds. You just got to order them online and they get them to you. Man, I've been taking over the coals. I always get charged this activation. I'm not paying it. I'm not paying six dollars because then I'm giving the gift to my to my person. Right, let's say give

them three hundred dollars. It's costing me three eighteen to give them three. I just write them a check, doesn't cost me anything. I try to get fancy gift cards, I pay six dollars on ad piece of plastic. That's crazy. So f you m X and Visa gift cards that charge six dollar fee? How about that? How about that? I'm not I'm gonna get taken advantage of these are these are the things that I don't pay attention to. I'm like, you know what, well, I don't know that.

I don't pay attention to it. I notice it, but I just don't let it disrupt my Well, you take back two hundred from your friends that you have the two hundred to spend on the gift cards. That's a great way of getting even with myself, right, Yeah, getting even. I'm like, I gotta pay myself back. Yeah, so I I to. Now, Now I'm seeing this person this weekend, and I have to figure out how I'm doing this because I if I write a check, See here's what I wanted to do between you and me. I want

this money to go to them, not their spouse. And if you're wanting to check, they gotta put it in the bang and then they don't always spend it all, and then some of it goes to why don't you see that's why you should have gotten a gift card that's tailor made right to that person where the spouse won't use it like something that is special. Yeah, but I but I really want to say, Okay, here's the thing. One of the things I know they want is HBO Max.

But you can't buy an HBO Max gift card. You can buy a Netflix gift card, can buy a Hulu gift card, you can't buy HBO Max. So I have to give the money. Do you understand? Yes, it makes sense, right, And and the spouse doesn't watch HBO Max, doesn't really watch TV. So I know that that the person I'm buying this for is gonna love to have the money for the for the streaming service. But I can't buy an HBO Max S gift card. That would have solved the problem. Boom, He's HBO max S gift card, right.

And I wanted to buy a Disney gift card for Raoul, the guy in our garage. Great guy, you have to buy a Year's Word you know why because Disney Plus. Look, I don't spend other people's money it's like eight dollars a month, seven dollars a month. Don't tweet me. It's about that much money. To me, I go, oh, you

gotta have it. He's a big Marvel fan. He loves the Disney Marvel movies and who doesn't want to watch Boat Willie over and over right, right, But he also wants to watch the Marvel TV shows in all the movies. So I said, listen, you know, I was like, you know what, I'll get him a six month of three months something, just to get him started, because because really, you know, a year's worth is it's like a hundred bucks. I don't have money. I don't have money to throw around.

Maybe you've heard, you've noticed the way I do podcasts, the way you fight for every last cent, yes, yes, thank you. So I want to do right by him and get him like a three month, say five you a few months, like just get him started, and you can't do it. So the only way around it. I was thinking, like, I'll open up a Disney I'll open up a Disney Plus account, a second one and then give him the log in and I'll open it up for a few months. But you can't really do that

either there's no way to win anyway. The point was, I have to figure out out how I'm getting value to the person for their birthday this weekend. So you have any ideas, you know, keep me in mind, let me know, because that would be well, be good. All right, Well we'll talk off this podcast. Yeah yeah, yeah, And if and again, if you want to tweet me you have an idea, that's fine. Again, Today's Thursday, the tenth. I need this answer by like noon on the twelfth.

So if you hear the six's too late. Noon. Noon, by the way, Noon, Oh my god, can I tell you about noon? What about it? Well? Noon reminds me of non. I had a non problem today. Do you want to hear it now? Non? Non? I didn't problem bread but not yeah, but not non bread, because if you say non bread, it's redundant. Just not yeah non Okay. So just this afternoon I had to go to Whole Foods to return some things to Amazon because they have like a little kiosk we can just no boxes, no labels,

just handed over and they scan you done boom. So while I'm there, I said, I'm gonna just do a little shoping. I'll walk around so they had prepackaged what tie spice or one of the names of like the big places in New York they prepackaged their food. Now and hold spice, girl, No, I tell you right, yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what I want. What I really really

want some chicken masala uh ta tika masala. So I picked up some curry nut, some curry, some vindaloo chicken and some tika massala because you have to write, and I thought, I gotta get some non. So there's no non where they sell that the items I just met. There was no none. So I go over to the the bread area where they have like all the loaves of bread and the hamburger buns. No none. So I go into the bakery and none, no, none. Right, So I go into the bakery where I figured the bakery

people will know about where the bread is. And so I walk over to the guy and he stands right by an opening. And in the opening there's a counter to his left and accounted to his right. Okay, And he walks towards me and he's right between the two counters. So the counters are behind the glass on his side, metal like metal tables. And I said, hey, listen, sorry to bother you. I'm looking for Non. And he says, what's that? So ready to him in trouble. You work

at Whole Foods, you should know it. Non is. He work in the bakery, the bread section of the bakery. He's probably not not right. He's working in the bread section, like the fresh bread section, not the loaves of bread. He's working when you get the semolina and the Italian bread and the French bread. He's all about the bread. So I said, I'm looking for Non. He goes, what's none?

So I said, it's traditional Indian bread. It looks like peta, but it's a little longer and it's fluffier and it says not an a a N. So he says, yeah, I don't know. Maybe over there by the bread and he points to the you know, the loaves of bread, like the wonder bread section. God forbid, they had wonder bread by the way and Whole Foods. So I said, alright, I looked over there. They don't have it there. Because I don't want to tell you, man, I don't even

I didn't even know what the bread is. I don't know what it looks like. I'm sorry bullshit. They carry it, well, I know they carry it. They have to because it's fou fu bread. They have everything that's that's a little off the beaten path. Of course, the food, of course. So God is my witness scary. On the counter to his right, Oh God, on the counter is one package of three Whole Foods brand Non. It's Hiss white Non, and it's it's it's in. It's six inches off his

left hip. So I said, that's Non right there, That's what I'm looking for. So he looks and he goes, oh. So I said, that's what I want. So he said, yeah, I really don't know where it is. I thought it was by the bread. So then he puts it. He looks at it, and he puts it back down on the table. So I said, nude that I want that. That's what I want. Oh you want this one? Yeah? Why not? Oh? All right, Dore, you go. You know what I mean, Like you know what I mean. You're

working best Buy. I'm looking for the iPads. What I'm looking for the laptops standing under the Apple. If you work in computers, I'm looking for a wide screen laptop. Oh I don't know what, Yeah, you know so next to him that was the thing, like it didn't even belong there. Somebody put it down next to him. There it was, and then he doesn't think I wanted was like, you're gonna have to go find it somewhere. It just it looks like like he basically said to me, scary.

It looks like this. Now you know what it looks like, you and go find it. Right, it looks exactly like this. Yes, and I'll take that one, so hilarious. Yeah, that is. You know something though, you know a lot of people, a lot of people are quitting their jobs, so you know they're they're hard to It's hard to fill these positions with competent people that I know. But they also hired like six seventy five thousand people across the country last week. So people are getting jobs, people even jobs.

But how easily are they getting the job? Well maybe this guy just started, but he said, you know what, I just started here. Maybe all he needed was good hygiene, you know, I mean, who knows the standards. He seemed like a nice guy. Just feel like, if you're in the bakery section, I hear the should know what non is. I hear they're lowering standards across the board. Well, at some point I'm gonna tell you about the standards they lowered at the Bowling Alley. Mind, I can't wait for that.

By the way, Um, well, we had a couple of voicemails come through. Here's just one voicemail, will play it's just and then I have one piece of sound from two weeks ago I want to revisit. Okay, we'll do that after the break, but let's let's get this one. So it's it's you can always leave us a voicemail. The number is to one eight F you ape seventy seven.

That's two on eight F you ape seventy seven. But before you play that, can I just call out somebody go for because I got a I don't want to mention names, but somebody DMed me and said, hey, um, something's wrong. I called your voicemail. You're you're you're two on eight fu A seventy seven and it's and it says I called Minnesota. That can't be right, ken it? And so I wrote back, did you google to two on eight area code? So he wrote back, shit, I

just did, Yeah, it's Minnesota. The reason it's Minnesota is that it's the only f you Ape seventy seven area code that was available in the country, so we took it. Yeah, so if you so, I so, I said, I hope you didn't like call from home where you need a calling plan and you paid seven dollars to call Minnesota. I hope you used your cell phone where it's no big deal, which was fine, So he thought maybe it was there was a mistake in the in the phone.

First of all, shout out to Jacob in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in the area code for seven nine, not the home of Walmart. It's your Bentonville, which is the suburb suburb of Fayetteville. But yes, most people who work for Walmart

live in the Bentonville Fayetteville area. Yes, absolutely. In fact, I will I will throw a dart at anyone's house on a map, and I guarantee you they probably work for Walmart, because well, if you get the darts at Walmart, they're probably a dollar ninety nine because the price is there, watch out for falling darts and price. Well yeah, so, so shout out to Jacob. He just was talking about

the odds, the odds. Remember the conversation. We got a lot of tweets about that, about people defending me, that they are all all heard about the bots. What's the voicemail. No, that's not the voicemail, that's the honorable mention. He I want to acknowledge your girl, Aronnell girl on Twitter, very upset. Yes, I love Annell. Cut it out. You call it that every time, you don't know shit? Uh so yeah. So she basically was, yeah, but listen, I get it. I

understand it's a thing. But my point was nobody uses it in every day language. As Sharon Bay has agreed with you. He says, nobody uses that. He's never heard of it. Right, Well, so people, all right, Well here's two or three. Hey, what's up Brooklyn boys. This is Anthony from Central Connecticut. I got my friend David with me, who happens to be from Brooklyn. Hey, what's up Brooklyn boys? Days from Brooklyn all my life, I lived in Brooklyn.

Last year I moved to Connecticut and I'm missing home today. So my boys decided to call into the show. And that's one thing I want to know is how good is that Juniors cheesecake on Soundtown, Brooklyn. Thank you so much for that. Okay, he's talking about and used cheesecake, which is a legendary cheesecake and restaurant in Flatbush Avenue down by the Bridge, and the local surprised. U. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But the point is the cheesecake that they have is an American cheesecake, which they do it the best of anyone else in that in that genre and the famous for it. I don't know, I haven't have any. It's cream cheese based, you know. It's it's crazy because the cheese, the cream cheese they use is Philadelphia cream cheese. To make you no, no, it's it's cream cheese from Philadelphia, right, but it's not Philadelphia. It's called Philadelphia brand cream cheese.

They used the Philadelphia I'm pretty sure. Yeah, there was a shortage for a while. I think it's kind of funny because the cheesecake that New York made famous, Juniors made famous in New York, they use Philly Philadelphia's cream cheese. Now I prefer the Regatta based cheesecake, which is the Italian cheesecake. I like them both. I My wife very much prefers the Italian cheesecake, but I like cheesecake. So

when it says American cheesecake or pays. Regular cheesecake is probably the cream cheese based one, but Italian cheesecake get it every time. It's so much I love it so much better. But but yes, the juniors cheesecake is pretty damn good for an American cream cheesecake. Alright, alright, that's just a little something that call that a slice of Americana. Let's take a little break. And I am sitting here

in my underwear. In case you didn't know, I was wondering people ask Someone asked on Twitter how I do the podcast? What you know? You comfortable? Like? What are you? What are you wearing? What do you wear? And to be quite honest, I don't know about you, Brody, but I will be the first to tell you that, since we've been doing this from home, I do this podcast

in boxer shorts and a T shirt. How do you Because we're not on video, it's different than the Morning show where we do the fifteen minute morning show podcast where you have to be on camera and I'm in the studio and you're usually sitting on the couch and you're den and you have to get dressed. But what what do you wear for this podcast? I'm going somewhere I'm going somewhere with this. Well, right now, I'm wearing jeans and a T shirt because that's what I wore

to the morning show today. But I'll be honest with you, I have done this podcast in my underwear, you have right. And I did my Walkers and Talkers podcast in my bathing suit once, which I once or twice that I talked about. So now let's take it a step further. Okay, So there is this crazy stat that people on Zoom calls and Microsoft teams that are on camera one in every ten are not wearing pants, like no one to wear either. Well, I don't know what it speaks to.

Let's just say no, no, not wearing pants one at But think about that for a second. If you're in a Zoom room and you're on a call, like a big conference call with twenty people, there's likely to be two people on that call that you're looking at that are not wearing pants. And of course no one will ever call you out on it because you're in a business meeting. You know, you make it fired, they'll call

hr on you. But you know, like, come on, get up, stand up from the camera, let me see that, turn around, let me see that flip it upside down. You know, no, nobody's nobody's doing that. But on what happens if you pour hot coffee in your lap and you gotta stand up? You know what I mean? Like, yeah, that's got to be careful problem. But think about that for a second, just because let that sink in. One out of every ten people on your zoom call meeting is not wearing pants.

That's a fact. M crazy and bob me. Not to the bother me either, but I always, like I want to. I was on a zoom call with eleven people the other day, and I'm like, which one of these motherfucker's not wearing pants? Who is it? There's gotta be one. That's a good point. It's a good point. I mean, if you go by the odds, then they have to write the odds are that a couple of people are definitely definitely not wearing the old pants right now. But and and for people that do audio podcasts, I would

say that number is much greater. That's all. Hey, speaking to audio podcast I had a conversation with one of the big muckety MUCKs of I heart media podcasting. Oh did you really did? You didn't tell me about this. Well, I can't mention names. Well it happened. It happened at three five today, and I know I'd be talking to you and so uh coincidentally, timing wise, two friends of

mine have reached out to me. Both of them are in radio and reached out to me and said they know celebrities that would like to do podcasts on I Heart I Heart Radio, right through our company I Heart Media. And so I said, they said, well, who do I speak to? I said, well, you just get a podcast. You just sign up for a podcast that I heart and upload it. Not a big deal. Oh no, no, no. The people were calling about our celebrities and they would

like to be wooed. They would like to have a contract and yes, and they would like to get paid. They would like to get paid. They'd like to know who you know, should their age usually their agent calls. They just want to get paid. They would want to be hired to do a podcast. Will be hired like like a job, like a salary. Right, So I said, well, first of all, I'm we're lowly people that made we work for the Elvis Durran Show, which is fantastic, but

we don't have like a big Conan O'Brien contract. You know, we don't. We don't get the big the big Will Farrel money, right, We're not on that level. But one of the bowl that I'm asking about absolutely is a big name, like a big name in comedy, big name. Yes, can we get them on this podcast? No? No, although I know and I'm I'm I'm not sure I want them on the podcast, but they're they're a big name. Why wouldn't we want a big name on our podcast? Uh,

the joke Man? We did? Yes, well this I would say arguably this person is more famous now than Jackie the joke Man. We talked to the Fat Jewish. We we did talk to the Fat Jewish and he did not come out with a book, even though I gave him a title for the book. Did not. Why wouldn't we want said big celebrity on our podcast? We might, I'll, well, I'll we'll talk off a fair decide. So anyway, So I I email the big, big, big big people at I Heart Podcast and I say, hey, I have some

big names that are interested. Who do I speak to? Who do I Where do I direct them? They said, oh, you need to talk to this guy right. So I said, all right, I'll reach out to this guy and they copy this guy and they say, hey, this guy Brody wants to run by these two famous people. Can you know, get with him? So he called me. I googled him. You have a google a person before you like, have a big goal sometimes how big was the person you

spoke to? Um big in our company? But I didn't know if they were Like, I was like, how did they get this job? So I googled them. Not only do they have a huge career in podcasting, they also have a band and some songs out. I was very impressed. Okay, alright, so I had I had a great conversation with them, and you know, I did all the you know how connect you just an email being ambiguous about all this? Okay, yeah, alright.

So so while I have you on the phone there, uh sir, let me let me ansk you a couple of questions. How does a guy who's co hosting a very successful I Heart Media podcast on radio podcast come boys? Right? He knows it's in my signature of my day? Have

better not have said walkers and talkers on that one? Yeah? No, no, no, I was saying that because I wanted to get in the comedy network because this person is also involved with the the the Will Farel comedy got So I said, yeah, I just here of curiosity while we're talking about how to get how to get how do you get in this comedy? Yeah? Get to how do you get into the big comedy Dude? By the way, not to take a detour, but died Luise, Louise died. Yeah, my friend, uh,

Eric put up his picture with Louise. That's how I put up my picture with Burton Ernie. No, you're Bert Okay. So I said, well, how would we go about getting in the uh you know, uh, you know what I mean? And so he said, well, you know it's dog eat Dog world and there's so I said, well, you know, we were one of the top I Heart Radio podcasts top ten and the biggest of any employees of My Heart for a time, and then we came in number two, right behind Joe Rogan. He brought that up in the

podcast Awards. The first annual I was eighteen and was called the first annual of the first one. It was just the bud gist. Well I'm saying it was the first. It wasn't called that, but it was that's redundant ATM machine. That's right. So it's like there's no Jaw's one, there's no Rocky one. This is Rocky correct. So I said, you know, we were we were big shots. But then our company went and signed every big name celebrity on the planet, like Colin O'Brien, and they stampeded all over us.

I got, I go, Now, we're like, you know, who the hell are you guys? So I said, I'd like to get us on the old comedy network. Here, you guys are in the comedy section of the app. I go, no, no, no, I want to get on the big commercials, the big comedy commercials. I want to get it. I want to get in with the big players. Right, good, good, look at you stepping up and speak well. The best way to get attention, to get more attention, because right now

the big shots get attention. He said, what you're gonna do is go for tat because you get on, you have to be guests on the other podcast so that their listeners can hear you. And then you pay tit for tat and you have them on yours, so you they you promise them. Let's I'm just making up numbers ten thousand listens and they and if they if they get twenty thousand listens, you gotta juice it up for them and give him a couple of extra things to

make up to twenty. But you gotta, like, you know, eye for an eye, you know what I mean, a little tit for tat, a little time for tit. And I said, well, why would will Farrell have us on his podcast? And all we have to promote is our podcast, Like we don't have a movie coming out, we don't have like a TV show coming out. He's like, that's

a good point. So I said, so how do we He's like, well, you gotta find podcasts around your level that might want to have you on, like, you know, maybe like a California Boys podcast that wants to do a contrast with you guys, oh Brooklyn Boys, California Boys, you know, and then we have them on our podcast, and then this way we expose each other to each other's list. The Island Boys, how about the Island Boy No, not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. So that was his suggestion.

So then I said, you know, by the way, we call that the old Evoe the old right, So I said, right, So I said, well, how do we go about getting nominated? Because I mean, look, I love Conan O'Brien, I do, but who's to say his podcast is better than our podcast? But he's nominated every year now in the comedy division. WHOA what happened us? You know, by the way, you have a target on Conan's back here. I only use Conan because off top my head, I couldn't think of

anybody else. And you and I have joked about Conans and it's up down again and again. I love Conan. I do Team Coco love him. So I said, you know, I said, I mentioned some other people, right, And I said, how do we break into that that world? I said, you can't get nominate in the comedy division anymore? So space crowded space? He said, crowded space? I say no. But if the same two or three people make it out of the five nominees every year, it kind of

narrows it down. I said, So here's my idea, all right, I said, you tell you what you think scary slices. I want to know what you think. I said, why don't you have either one category or a couple of categories for employees of I Heart Radio Common Division, or just best podcast by an on air talent at I

Heart Radio. That's a great category, so I said, you know it's Austin Tanya rad and serial Killers and you know the people that have that that work in Heart and Soul ten fifteen, twenty years and there doing podcasts for I Heart Radio, not celebrities who sold their podcast over. He said, that's not a bad idea. So I said, not a bad idea, Like, huh, well, not a bad idea. Like in the next meeting, you're gonna bring it up to you know who and you know who? He does. No, No,

I'm gonna mention it. That's an excellent idea. I said, No, listen, if you have that category, we still dominated first year. Come on, you know, I'm not saying we need to win, but we need to be nominated. So he liked that idea. I said, Look, it can be one of those category when you watch the Oscars and they go it's the ones that they give off camera. The award for Best Editing and Best key Grip were given off air before the show. A full list available at Academy Awards doctry.

We don't need the limelight. We don't have to be prime time since to send us the trophies. You you could do it all fair. You don't have to like take up valuable time from celebrities like I don't know Conan O'Brien and he's like, no, I get it. Yeah, yeah like that. I like that. So it sounds like it was a fruitful conversation. It places. But at the end of the day, we didn't get ourselves on the big Will Ferrell Comedy network. No we did not. But

here's what I'm thinking. Here's what I'm thinking. Maybe the big guy and the big comedy guy that I haven't mentioned his name, maybe I say to his people, you know you want to you want to get in touch with the big shots. At my heart got to the Brooklyn Boys podcast first, you know, like, you want to go. You want to get backstage to me Motley Crewe, you gotta you gotta give a handy to the to the stage hand How that works. The guitar tech has to That's how you got back there so much. That's how

I did. Yeah, the guitar tech needs reach around. Can I tell you I never got backstage before I worked in radio that I can remember ever, like getting backstage and meeting anyone like and we know when we know and listen. You know this has been documented in Elvis's book Elvis, Yes, Elvis Durrand, he's got a book. Uh that backstage is nothing special, No great shakes, the bawtry, yeah, the sex, the craziness. You know, it's a very technical place. Now there's a lot going on as wires being moved,

as big truck. It's not it's not no, it's not fun. It's it's a bunch of ugly big guys going. You can't go back down. Ye can't go back down Union guys. And now you know they do the COVID thing. At least I don't know about today, but until last week, I forget it. You have to Yeah, Black K and nine mask at all times back and they don't let you, they don't, but they don't like, Yeah, COVID can't go back. Oh well, I just want to say, I know, not not meeting anybody. I'm not gonna do it. Yeah, now

you can hear a pin drop back there. Backstage is changed forever. Speaking of backstage, and I know you have to take a break. You know, Deaf Leppard is one

of my favorite bands. I know that there were bigger eighties and nineties, but they's they still they still tour well in the In the eighties they did a concert in the round, so they put the big stage in the middle of the arena and the and it was on a turntable so it rotated slowly, so wherever you were sitting, eventually you faced the band well years and years later. So during the show, like during the guitar solo, right, everyone else would go off stage. The drum solo, everyone

goes off stage. Bread they do an acoustic set, one of the guitar players might go for a break. In a book that I read and some interviews, they were going under the stage and having sex with people and then going back on stage. So having sex between songs and during guitar solos and drum solos under the stage, under the stage. So what do they have like groupies

like waiting to go that they were pulled. So so what they do all the big I don't look, I'm not like, I don't think Harry Styles does this, but like David Lee rolls from Van Halen Kiss some of the day, this day would be known for this. They would point to people or they would like they would like in their era, they go to the guitar text the roadies and go three four row three seed fourteen, or they go third row blonde with the blue tank top.

And then they would approach them in the crowd and go, you want to go backstage and met kiss and they oh my god, kiss this this that's right. But but you didn't always get right to the band. And a lot of like women who've written groupie books will tell you this, You had to work your way back to the band. By the time you got to Tommy Lee and Nikki six, you did. Nicky won two, three, four and five, Right, so that's the best. Oh, like you'll imagine like you like again, But then again, I don't

want to be Nicki six at that point yourself. Nicky six was the dirtiest at the time. Like he wrote a book. He wrote in his book, um how he had sex with like eight or nine women in his span of like two days and didn't shower between any of them. Like he just kept right, he just kept like, Oh, it's just come on, man, off my dinner. Yeah, that's nasty. Think about that they'll think about that still thinking about it, Well, think about this. Let's let who Let's say you're at

the Victoria's Secret Runway show. I've been, You've been, right, it's a it's a great experience. Right, But let's say one of the runway models. Let's say Kate Upton. Because I can't think of anyone's off top of my head right now, but let's say Kate Upton. Let's say you're a huge fan of Kate Upton and she singles you

out in the crowd. It's like before she married Orlando, She's like, I want that guy in the in the met shirt right, the deaf leopard shirt pointing to me, But you have to sleep with or do stuff with like four or five, not Kate. I'm not to get Yeah, first of all, it's harder for men to like go through the right. But by the that will that's a reverse fantasy that only happens in porn. That will not happen. Right, Kate Upton is not singling me out, hey the door

in the met hat and the deaf leopard shirt. But yeah, I feel like the tables are turned. Guys will be like yeah, whatever, Yeah, but I know all this stuff happened. And by the way, I, did you ever read Tommy Lee's book, Uh, the original book that I read the first chapter two because I met him. I read order that's wild that Tommy Land. Yes, Tommy, I have toime. I have a copy of it. It's a wild book.

But yeah, Nikki's book to Nikki's book is unbelievable. Thing is the way the way that I I could see it though, and it's like this will this would never go on now. First of all, because of social media, the advancements in technology. There's cameras. You don't think it, don't think cameras everywhere. Think about this for a second. But no, if they don't take your phone. A lot of conscious they don't take your phone, but not necessarily. No,

they don't. Not a crow and you're taking the girl's phone. And if they're gonna do some ship, what I'm saying is that it's just so harder to do now because or and everyone just comes on. Everyone's got their own amplification system, their own platform. They can just put everything on social media and just start like throwing stuff out there. They start tweeting about things, even if they don't have pictures to prove it, you know. But now that this has all been ruined, Oh yeah, I have like a

secret thing. No, it's all gone, it's over. I mean look at even look at Derek g Eater. I mean he used to take their phone from them when they but accounts are out there, all the accounts are out there of how he used to send them home with a prize pack where presence, here's an autograph baseball. Didn't you give like a basket of apples something something silly he gave. Here's at every departing contestant may receive. You know. It's like nobody talked about like nobody nobody tweeted like

hey I just left. But even though even though even though that that, they don't have pictures things to prove it, and he might have taken their you know, taking precautions, they don't. They still have the stories that are out there that are all over the internet. So thee with but those stories there you could go online and google it on Reddit, it's all over. It's on you know Twitter, you know, you could find his stuff this and I

couldn't have a date like in this. We couldn't never like go out and start dating again, because whatever you did like the person you were dating, unless they were I mean, I hope they're classy, but you don't think they're gonna go oh, I went to dinner, were brody? Everything's true, he got free dessert, or he's bad and bed. I mean, I don't doubt they would ever say that. I mean, come on, but you can't. I understand, Yeah,

you gotta be very careful. But but now I'm trying to think if if Motley Crewe poison all the bon Jovi, all these bands were around today, in the current state of social media and technology, I think Brett Michaels is still a madman at show? Would they even would they still? Would they still be doing what they what they did? But I don't think they'd be like they would be able to get away with it, you know, putting a train on people. I don't, you know, running a train.

I don't think no no, because no no. But listen, if you've done a train with with Brett Michaels, I feel free to tweets. I'd like to hear if anyone slept with a celebrity and that's listening to this podcast, you have, haven't you know You've slept with people who slept with celebrities, haven't you. Uh no, you ask him my brothers with Nate, aren't you. That's true, that's what

this story. But that's from like two thousand and seven. Jesus, Uh, we're going Elvis said he slept at one celebrity, but he'll never tell us. He'll never say who it was. Never my friend. My I have a friend who slept with one celebrity and he told me who it was. And you guys listening won't think it's a celebrity. And I'm not going to tell you who it was other than a long time ago. He was an NFL head coach,

and I stressed the headpart. No, no, no, no, I'm kidding no, but uh and I believe it because I yeah, well yeah, I was like, oh, he's like, yeah, he was a coach of the stage. He's gotta be there's gotta be someone listening right now, Oh yeah, who's slept with a celebrity Or it could be an athlete, could be do you count as a celebrity because it might be people listening years ago, may have may have been with the Jones. I don't know, radio people don't count

of celebrities I'm talking about. I know, I'm talking about rock stars and musicians and artists and and and athletes, lions and tigers and band movie stars. And I'm not talking about extras extra I'm talking about You're saying big, yeah, so tweet us. Hey, listen, we had that we had the friend who speaking of we did we talk about okay, wait a minute, did we talked about the picture that that person? Because I don't want to say the wrong thing. Remember we talked about the girl we knew who was

the local affair for a celebrity picture. We mentioned the celebrity right, justin Verlander? Correct? Who I mentioned a minute ago because it was married to kay Upton. Correct. But back in the day, he was banging people in every city, That's right. And I'm not that type of person. I don't want to bang someone that I know is going over to Jersey, you know, going over like a Pennsylvania someone, somebody who worked for the Phillies. Was it the Phillies? No, yeah,

somebody somebody. Let's not get let's not get into that. Okay, let get too many details. But I remember the story, you do, remember, Yeah, of course? So it was Verlander, God bless him. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, where do we go from there? We don't have I mean this is the part where we would actually insert So yeah, there was a time that I slept with the celebrity. Yeah, no, we don't. We really are are back into a corner here, Yeah, because we didn't celebrity speaking of sex with a celebrity,

I did. I did. I didn't make out with Kesha and an SNL after party once you did? Not. I'm telling you back in two thousand and six seven, where wait was she? Was she reality stock Kesha and not Kesha yet? When she was on the Paris Hilton. She was on the Paris Hilton Show. And and Richie right, Lionel Richie his daughter. What's her name? Though, No, that's not you're thinking of Yesha? Right? When she was she

was on the Paris Hilton and Meson Nicole show. They were they filmed in her house and she was on that show. Is that when you made out with her? I was? I was in an SNL after party on the mid two thousand's Okay and Kesh The mid Aarts, The Mid the mid Arts come back to haunt us again? Nailed it boom and and I was she was drunk of golf. She was hammered, have to be And I was there, and she was there, and we was four o'clock in the morning, and she's like, it's a great party.

And then he told me she made the move on you. You didn't take advantage. No, she made the move on me. But it was when she was like a backup singer for some stuff. It was right before she broke, you know, right with flow Rider correct correct, Yeah, but I was she didn't know what she was doing. And so after the makeout, was it like it was quick? It was quick, and it was it was like one Mississippi b to Mississippi.

Did you put your hands on her face? No? It was all quick holders and then she leaked away like it never happened. Oh she leaned in, did did? And then walked away? Yeah, almost as if she had no clue. It's like, your lips are in the way of my lips. I'm going in this direction. Okay, bye? Uh. There was it, TikTok And then I'm out here TikTok on the cloud. Now, now does your current situation about this? Yeah, I'm sure she knows. I think what I've told this story on

the radio. Okay, So all the times that kesh has come up to our show, no, no, no, because it's awkward. You don't want to. She don't remember that it was a fleeting moment in her past. Well she might listen to this podcast. You don't know, Hey, Kesha. I thought I got cred from Kesha once and I did not. So we were backstage at Jingle Bawl, my wife and my three kids at the time, maybe my kids were ten,

twelve and fourteen, maybe somewhere around there. Whenever she was like a jingle Bowl and she used to wear the fur coat, and she was to the right and by the way right there. It was like, I think it was two thousand and right before TikTok on the TikTok on the Clock, Blay. It was like she was a singer backup me. This was two thousand nine whenever. She had just so she had been on our show that morning and Jingle Bowl was that night. So my kids

were maybe not ten, ten, eight six something like that. Right, we're in the hallway and they're like clear the hall. Someone famous come by and it's Kesha and she's got a bottle of Jack Daniels in her hand the right of the song. I guess she was like going to use it on stage, like as a prop for the song. And she had the fur coat on that she wore everywhere.

And she sees me, and she had only seen me like five hours earlier, seven hours earlier, right whatever, on the right show, and she goes hey, and she runs up to me, right in front of my family and gives me this massive hug, puts her head next to my head and she's squeezing me, and I'm like, my hands are out behind her, like so that my family can see that I'm not hugging her back. And then she was like, ah, as I have a great show. And my kids looked at me. I thought, like, that's

pretty cool. Cash she hugged me. They looked at me like you did that in front of your our mom? How could you do that? And I was like, you know, I didn't. I didn't she come up to me. She came up to me. They're like, okay, they're accusing. You know. They just gave me the look like I was like I didn't. No hands, no hands, no big yeah. So I got I got a little bit in trouble from Kesher. But in my mind I was going but but I had that look on my face, like me and my

family was not very happy with that. We both have Kesher stories. Yeah, I know. And I want to give a shout out to one listener because we're talking about sex and it reminded me. I want to congratulate Paul Hill with a lot of numbers. After at Paul Hill a lot of numbers. He was banned from Twitter indefinitely. By the way, my Instagram, I still can't post. It's going on two weeks. So I said, he goes, I'm back, baby, I said, back from where he goes, I had a

lifetime band. Oh what did you do? So he said, well, I made a comment about a certain female politician using a pine cone dildo and apparent only that's inappropriate. What Yeah, yeah, he tweeted at the female politician and I guess they reported him or people reported him, like, oh, you know, why don't you go to shove a pine cone or whatever. I gotta tell you about my buddy who's banned for life, My buddy Falco who's banned for life from Uber Falco,

the singer No Anthony Falco. Oh, Anthony Falco, all right, well tell me in a minute podcast. I mean, I tell you Falco story. I mean we could save it, but no, no, because I have I'm gonna give you what I have. I have a dilemma I need your opinion on. So please tell me a Falco story. Okay, and then we'll do the dilemma and then we were done. Um. So, so here's here's the thing, and this is this is

something I don't know what you would do. Okay, the less expensive Okay, Falco, Falco and my boys, we're all we're all friends. Okay. One of our friends gets very belligerent when he's drunk, very belligerent. But but he was at the bar and it was time for him to go. So Falco, for whatever reason, calls my friend the uber on Falco's phone. This is why, By the way, you

don't call uber for someone else. Going go ahead, So so so my the guy who's our friend, our other friend who got drunk, gets into the cab and and and Falco helps him into the cab. Boom done, you're in. See you later, go home. Here's the address. It's on me about maybe about forty five minutes later stars that's my guests. Later, the Uber driver comes back into the Buber driver comes into the bar and he's like, hey, yo, what's up. And then my buddy goes, O, can I

help you? He goes, yeah, I'm the Uber driver. He goes, your friends. Your friends a fucking asshole. He started getting into a fight with me in the cook cab about something irrational. It made no sense, and this and that, and you know, he fucking tried to choke me. It's all on camera and my body. You know. My buddy was apologetic. Of course, he's like, what, I don't know what you're talking about it. So finally he's like, look, because I'm so sorry. He might I think Falcon might

tipped them off. Give him a tip. Whatever done? Goodbye. Uh. Fast forward a week later, when Falco tries to open the uber app and use it for himself. You've been

permanently banned, apparently, the uber driver reported. And again I don't know the circumstances of what this belligerent, drunk friend of ours did and how he got into a fight or why, but the point of the matter is he raised his fists or right to choke out The Uber driver on Falco's dime on his watch get a bad rating for it, so no, we right, he he doesn't suffer any consequence whatsoever Falco does because Falco, Right, that's like me going into like a casino and saying like

and blowing up the place like, and I go, I'm scary Jones. Apparently it's been fucking three years now. This happened. This came up in Columbia when we tried to get an Uber. I'm like, Falco, what you want to go? I don't have It's a long story. I don't have Uber. But three years now and for life, he's banned. He can't get on Uber. He cannot. He opens the app and as soon as the app it's just so, I'm like, well,

she'd registered with another number, is do something? It apparently recognizes his phone number, and for as long as the phone number is there, he cannot register, reregister for feel like he's he tried, he's contact he's written letters, he's emailed Uber call me happen better? Get brody beat, isn't it? But isn't that kind of It's weirdly funny but not. But it's like when you're when somebody else's it's fucking you.

It's like it's like being in a bar with your girlfriend and then you know a guy is like leering and your girls, what are you looking at? Right? Then? And then and then and then she runs out of the bar and he wins the check and you gotta cash it and then the guy starts pummeling you right because you're you're attached to that ship. Yeah, like later a second, I don't want to be part of the stink. I didn't take the dump she did. This uber driver

was so mad at Falco that he's so bad. The guy well, well he get no way of and I think he left him. Falco put him in the car. I even think my buddy got left in the street. I think he had to find his way home. Whatever happened, it was all funked up. Everyone was Falco. I mean, your your buddy, the belligerent guy. He can he can ride in neber anything of me once Bliah carp Blaunch carp launch. Okay, So speaking of cars and that slices, I need I need your feedback on this as well.

So I belong to um, an app that specializes in neighborhoods. Okay, not Facebook, it's an app that, oh what's it called? Because I think I was trying to figure this one out? Are you allowed to say it? No? Maybe I want to say because I okay, let's forget to forget it google Apse. It's it's one of the many apps where you can find out the happenings of your neighbor. Okay, okay, okay. So this person writes, Hey, heads up, my car was stolen off the driveway last night. There might be a

car thief out there. Mm hmm. So I'm like, oh my god, somebody, you know, because I have a car on the driveway. You know, I have three cars, so one's on the driveway. So I'm like, you know, is this a rash? Is this is something that's going on? And they breaking windows and somebody goes, did they break your window? And somebody goes, did they jimmy the door? You know, like did they hot wire the car? What

kind of they're tips right now? People are people are asking like what happened because they're like they want to know if it's like some high school kid or like a professional car ring, right like what level of like did they tow it? How did they get the car? She says, no, we accidentally left the key fab. She says, f A F A B. It's fob. She's about fab. We left the key fab in the car. So they just opened the door. Because key fobs, like in my car the charger, if you put the key in the car,

like leaving in the car the door. So if you leave the key in the fob on this, she goes, we left it in the armrest. We've got to take it in. So people were like, how stupid are you? They were attacking her right and something. So there's always like, don't blame the victim, no, no, oh, no, you blame the victim. Victim blaming you. If you're on the subway sometimes and you have to take someone's hand and put it in your purse and put their hand on your

wallet and they run away, I'm blaming the victim. If you leave your key, yes, they shouldn't have stolen the car. But if you leave the fob in the car, you're gonna see the buttons on the doors are up when you're walking down the block looking for cars to rob. So so my thought was, you didn't have your car stolen. You gave that ship away. Am I wrong? Yeah? You're wrong.

Come okay, and now you're taking such obviously stolen. But but you can't go on and like say, like, oh, everybody be careful as car thieves out in the neighborhood. When nobody else has their car stolen and you left your key fob in the car, right, shame on you, Shame on her. I said, who you think is gonna take getting a car safe flight when you key in the car? Yeah? Remember that commercial we played, just played a key on the dash and we'll come there while

you're at work and no do that? Yeah? Same right, wants you to do that? Well you know yeah, yeah, so yeah I will, I'll say that, I'll say this, and again I I just don't. I really, I really feel that people have to be held accountable, and we don't do that anymore in society. More and more times we're blaming others for things that we funked up on our own. They listen, there's plenty of blame to go around on the criminals. Bad person, don't get That's what

I was getting at. There are times when things obviously belong you know, but if you put iPhone in his back pockets, scary, that's well that that's exactly it. We we we turned to him, like, you idiot, why did you leave you this last week's episode in case you didn't hear, didn't deserve it, but he sort of deserved it. He's kind of it's it's almost like it's almost like he allowed it to happen because he didn't take did

not write. So even though you know, you blame the thieves, and the thieves are bad, and these kids pop the thing out of his back pocket. We warned him. We warned everyone, no jewelry and put everything in your front pocket. We're about to walk we're about to walk out into the street into in Cartagena, and we're about to cut the hand han't and to let people out there that are needy and less fortunate, and they're they're gonna try and pickpocket you into it. He ran into a pip.

He went right into a but so everything comes full circle at this podcast. Doesn't try and and and and and they stole his phone. In that case, we said, you dummy, And you know what, he himself also blamed himself. He said, you know, well, I'm idiot. This person who lost that car would not admit it was their fault.

It was their fault completely entirely. That no blame. No, listen, it's not their fault, but they have partial blame, even if it's you let it and it's fob, the A and they all with no one near each other on the on the phone, they're not on the keyboard, the source not a spell. No, it wasn't. It wasn't fab They stole your car, but you left the fob in there. And uh oh before we go, I grammar police someone today awesome and we have to play a piece of sound.

Oh oh, I'll come back with the sound. Okay, god no, no, no with commercials. Okay. So I took a picture. I wanna uh, I wanna know, pull up the picture. I was in the watch store near my house, right and they had a sign up that said water resistant test. We offer precious ceiling at an additional cost and recommend it with every battery change. So we will precious seal

your watch right, your your correct your your watches. Water resistance is not guaranteed without it, they wrote watches W A T C h E S. Your watches water resistance is not guaranteed. So there's no possessive comma. It needs to be. It needs to be the watch apostrophe, watch watches apostrophe. So the signs right, it's taped. Its taped to the to the counter. So there's a bucket of pens right there by the register. So I grab a

pen and don't do anything. And the woman comes over to help me, and i'm I'm getting a ring clean, so I'm not gonna even wrinkle. And I said, let me ask you a question, and there's an older woman behind me on online. I said, listen, I feel terribly even asking this, but if I worked to make a grammatical change on your sign, would you be annoyed by me? Would you appreciate it? She was, oh god, I hate that they speall everything wrong. Would you please make the change?

Take a pen, make the change. I said, okay, so I put the apostrophe there, and she says, oh, I didn't even notice that. That's terrible. Thank you for doing that. And the woman behind me, the older woman, says, excuse me, sir. I said, yes, I just want you to know I'm a college English professor. Oh, here we go shows, and you're absolutely right, thank you for doing that. And I was I said, I said, can you verify that I was right. She goes, oh, you're absolutely right. It's possessive.

It says your watches. She said, you can make it plural because I said, I said, I can make it plural, because I could bring in two watches, and she goes and shows or multiple people could bring in a watch, and then it's a sign for everybody. But there's no apostrophe. So I put the apostrophe there. I've made the world a better place. Thank you. That was nice. I like that. Now, what was a piece of sound and that we played the Shopify sound two weeks ago? Now, hold on, we

were prepared for this one. I told you last week we're gonna play it. We didn't play it. Yes, I got it, got it. So I made fun of the girl. I said, the acting was terrible. She sounded like a four year old woman trying to sound like she was seventeen. Yes, I heard the commercial two more times this week. And that's something else I want to point out there. I know you're trying to make it sound like the woman is typing, but listen to the woman typing three shopify sales?

How where are you selling three hundred parents of tap shoes? Mom with our Shopify store. We can connect and sell everywhere Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, you name it. You did all that. Yes, I customized our store exactly the way I wanted and it was so easy. Stop. By the way, that the worst typing, yeah, and and and no one types like that. And by the way, she she struck about four keys on the first one, about seven on the second time,

so didn't even get a word out. So yeah, I just want to say, not only was it a band commercial and the daughter is terrible and the commercial makes no sense, but even the typing is ridiculous. So what a piece of ship commercial? God damn it. You know we should hire them to do uh Brooklyn Boys team songs? What do you think? Just a lot of clicks, a lot of man Brook Boys, brook Brook Boys Rock
