acquiet taste podcast. You guys haven't kind of thing. Okay, all right, So the good news is we got to play that. We got to play that jingle the boys are back in town because we we've been out. So the week of December five, whatever that week was, because ze when hundreds jingle ball in New York, we recorded earlier in the week, right, so we gave you an early episode. Then the following week we were gonna do normal Thursday recording, and you and I were both sick. Yeah.

So this podcast being sponsored by Emodium, a d emergency, not a sponsor, So this was we were going to record on what the fourteen. Yeah, it was a Thursday. The thing is I had a Roy Rogers appearance, so I couldn't make it. Yeah, and I was sick. Legitimately, he was like, we were gonna record yesterday, but I had I had appearance. But also because ge Easy was here in the studio and they were doing interviews all afternoon with Easy. Yeah, so you guys can blame Gee

Easy for being in our studio. We couldn't do the podcast. It ain't safe. It ain't safe. It ain't safe with me and get some money. I love that song he does with Cardi b Oh my god, it's great. You know what? Talking about no Limit. He also does a song with Halsey, his girlfriend. Oh nice, God, you want to about a lucky guy, g Easy. He's a talented he's tall, he's day in Halsey. All right, that's not cool, it's cool. I think it's all. I like Halsy. She's

very nice, like in a dating way. Didn't you say on the Big Show you love Hallsy but not in a creepyway. I said that club you have that club? Okay, so so scary and uh. Other members of the Morning Show, not me, went to uh South Florida for the y one hundred jingle ball. So a lot of our radio stations around the country do their own jingle balls. Is d Q one, O, two, kiss, IF M and l A which one not on? But our company has I think thirteen jingle balls and I think one in in

Toronto in Canada. Anyway, So Scary was down there and they're like, oh, why don't you do a shift at night on our radio station? And Scary hasn't done a shift DJ shift in a long time. So we had the guys down there send us the audio they recorded him down there, and send us the audio, and here's Scary on the air one point seven in Miami. It's Miami's number one hit music station. Why one hundred I'm Scary Jones. One of my favorite performers tonight was Halsey.

I fall more in love with her every day and not in a creepy way either. She crushed it. Check out the video of her singing this song right now at dot com. It's bad at love on Why What's that? I mean, What's wrong with that? That's the way. First of all, in my headphones, I was hearing music, so I was feeling the music. So the music was feeling love. No, but when if if I'm talking and there's Shakira says love. If I'm if I'm talking and there's music in the background,

You're swimming in it. You're swimming in the music. You see it kind of like dancing. If you don't mind me saying, so, you was sinking in the music? You pretty much? I was. I was doing the doggy paths. You have a thing for Halsey, No, it's more of I love her words, but not in the pervy way. I love her voice. I love the way she sings. She love pretty, look at a hot girl like love all words, Oh she's pretty. I would recite those words all over the place. It's not it was not in

a creepy way. Yeah, but as Bethany on our show pointed out, by the way Bethany will be on the podcast and a little while, people keep asking her to curse. So she's going to come in here the curse of the week. He's gonna come in and curse. Um, yeah, because she doesn't curse on the big show. You can always get in touch with us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com, and you can get in touch with us on your social media at David Underscore Brody, at Scary Jones a s k e er y and

What the but the count Boys podcast at gmail dot com. I continue to get your email. This is great. We read emails and I've

got I have I'm gonna do a listener tweets. Uh this episode we're excited about like that? I like that. So we've got plenty of social media and um, where are we on with that? I had something, I was nothing I was I was ready to First of all, I wanted to see how your holidays are shaping up? I mean, what are you doing for the vacation we do have? So if you don't realize this, we have a couple of weeks off. I mean, we're not coming back in the studio until January eight. Today is the

last day or tomorrow's the last. So we're doing this podcast for this week, and we know that we didn't do a podcast last weekend, right, And I wanted, by the way, that's what I wanted to get into, so did I because on social media people were very upset. Well, I kind of brought this up, and I really think we should follow through, you know, in the great honor of you doing your rants and in the in the tradition tradition of public service, of great customer service. Brody

tells you, you know, you know the deal. He's gonna his future book. It's going to be even as not even meeting you burned my steak, right you and the steak comes a lout later that's we're not even I need free dessert. So I feel like we kind of fucked everybody over by not giving him a podcast last week.

So you can't even as not even in this case, but almost Ballsy went on Twitter and said, if we don't do that was me speaking under under the boys, you know say, you know you know it was me because I put my name and you and you slammed

me a little bit. You said, if we didn't do a podcast, today as we're as we're speaking that I owed the listeners steak dinners and free desserts right right, because somehow, somehow, though, if you and I both don't do a podcast, I owe everybody because it would have been on you because I was ready to go. I was ready to go to okay go, So we're both ready. So we agreed. Hold on a second, we agreed that the steak dinner was. Now you know, we we gave you the steak. The problem is we didn't give you

a podcast last week. So that's why I so, why don't we do a podcast tomorrow? But I don't even think we call it that. I just think we call it free to No, no, no, we call it well, that'll be the name of the episode, episode twenty two, Free Dessert. But it'll but it's still gonna be a week from now that we release it, so that people have something to look forward to. This is true. Yeah, we're not gonna just gonna blow our wad in one day.

By the way, I want you all to sn't I think you're gonna follow up By the way, speaking of blowing no no no, no, no, no no no. Now, you guys can hit the the You can drag the little uh scroller thing at the bottom of the podcast and you can scroll and go back about about five minutes when I said we didn't do a podcast because I was sick. We were sick, we were and we're sick and scary said a burg King appearance. Hold on, hold on, two things. Play the jingle. Play the jingle.

You said you had a burger King appearance. Hit it because we're in the studio. You pushed the buttons. Now, man, why is this so difficult? Right? Little commercial slipping? Okay, you could have just said you could have just said you had an appearance, but I was sick and I had an appearance. I went to my appearance half and then and then when I said, why we didn't a

podcast the next day? Uh this week? Yesterday? When I said we will do it yesterday, I said, Geezy was here and I covered for us, which was the truth. But you said, well, actually I had a Burgking appearance, which Roy Rodgers. Right. Sorry, Okay, play the other jingle next time, because I'm sure you'll get that one too. So you have a Roy Rodgers appearance. I'm sorry, no offense to I love Roy Rodgers by the way the

Fixens Bar. If you don't know what roy Rogers is it, it's it's it's used to be a national chain and now it's scattered. But they're growing again. They're kind of rebirth like a phoenix. They pretty much they downsized and now they're coming back up right. One of the first companies to have a bacon cheeseburger. But here's what I love about them. And they have double all Barburger, not

not I don't get paid by them. That's scary hashtag you can you get your burger right, and they don't put a lot of crap on it, which is why I love them. They don't put crap on it. They gave you the burger yeah, which relax where cheese and bacon or ham like put hamm on a hamburger. The double ar Barburger. Love it well, the golden something the chicken with the golden sauce and its friend right. But then no, you don't have to say no pickle. It's like, none of that crap because it's all You go to

the Fixens Bar and you put the lead. I put like forty pieces of tomato. I love tomato, and it's all you can eat tomato. I just pile on a tomato in the rapper. I just keep going with tomato. Love Roy Rogers. So if you have a chance you're in the New Jersey area, New York area, stop Rogers. Absolutely. And but anyway, my point was, you can yell at scary because I legitimately couldn't do the podcast. He's like, well, an appearance. No wait a second, I could have done

the appearance yesterday. I chose. You chose could have done the podcast. Yeah, you couldn't know, but but you had other things going on earlier than just But that's what we do here. Oh, I have I have sponsorship news, okay, you have, and I have guests. Okay, so hold on, I'm not finishing. No no, no, no, no, no, no, a whole lot of second. I want to finish on Roy Rogers. I want to say something about what happened.

Has no no hit the other one. I have to use the name during the sake of this, for the sake of the conversation I can refer to is that place because we've already stablished that place. You were there at that place, So I was there at that place, all right, And this is a little bit of a scam. And I don't know if this is something that Brody would pick up on and do, but this is this is in the vein of something that Brody and Brody type people would do. And whoa, whoa, what does that mean?

Brody type people that people that like people, people that like free shate. I don't like free. I like what I paid for. We did a contest yesterday and we did this the last time I did it at that place where every ten minutes I gave away one bill was in the form of I like the tomatoes more, but I right, but you like where I'm going with this? Every ten minutes for two hours straight a hundred bucks and the only rules that there were was you can't win twice, but it was one entry. It was one

entry per person, was the rule. So we've been doing a series of these types of events where it was the same thing. Like last time it was a pair of concert tickets every ten minutes for two hours. So what do you think After the second appearance, people started doing well bringing family members bingo. So it's so much so that yesterday there was a family there who brought an extended family. There was one group of people that had like nine people with them between parents and kids.

And now, yeah, they could have been their cousins or whatever the case. And that's fine. The point is when the rule. See that's why a lot of contests have you or anyone in your household can only win once my daughter is off at college and live with us anymore that you make that argument, But the thing is, people will find a way. People will find a way. So I was, I was at and again, so this is depends on your interpretation of when life begins. But I did. I did a when I was in retail.

We had an event where it was one uh submission per person, and a woman came in and claimed that her almost nine month old fetus she was pregnant counted as a person. And so she played she's I already know the name, and she signed up for the baby. M I can't do it. Well, again, you need to physically see the It needs to be too human beings. I understand. But but the rules, the rules didn't The rules didn't say it didn't say I didn't say it

said people. So there are people who believe they take you. And again, I don't want to debate it. I'm not giving my opinion on when the child went and when. Okay, but you know, look, if the baby comes out that minute, it's it's a it's a person. It's a person. I've had three kids. I know. If a baby falls out on the floor of that place, right then you know what fill out about the you know what, I'll give

you one for the placenta to what the hell? But but I mean so yeah, so you know people will look in like this family won three gift cards already, that's three day won. Well, it's not my problem. Next time, find from find some friends and ring them with you. If you don't have some family members. They were smart. The rule is there was no rule and each person is treated as an individual. So if you want to bring seventeen people and you want to sign a favor infant, fine,

you can do it. You can win. There was there's an amusement park in New Jersey, which is it was many years ago called Action Park and now it's Action Park again, right, So they used to have a promotion where it was, um, is this the soda can promotion, that the soda cam promotion and the Perk shampoo promotion, and it was it was either one it was bring a perk plus shampoo bottle at one year and when it was a like a and and it was like the whole car gets in for fifty bucks. Everyone could

constitutes the whole car. Well, everyone in the car gets. So if you have ten clowns in the Volkswagon of packing people in, so we will get We would we would drive up to Vernon Valley, New Jersey, with great gorge that area and we would park like a half a mile away on a dirt road in three cars. Two cars would park and the rest of us would jump in the trunk. We would lay on top of each other in the back seat. There was eleven Brooklyn, Jamaica is in the car. Twelve maybe at one point

people hiding in the trunk. Yeah, we had people in the two guys were in the trunk and we pulled up in this old uh it was a buick, old buick and we got in like you know, twelve people said like four almost like a little four bucks apiece. Don't make rules, man, because you didn't say you don't say up to eight people. You know you're actually asking for our rules. Specific I'm saying, don't say the whole car gets into fifty bucks, so I can't of coke.

So I found it. I found it fascinating that after the fourth be the person that lays across the other people. Don't be the person in the seat, like, don't be like I want a seat, because then they pile on top of you, and be the person on that rides Bitch. Yeah, everybody rode Bitch and twelve of us we had we

called it the hump. The hump is the middle seat, and all the middle seat well the old cause it's not really a seat because it's a bench across the back, and you know what, it's not fully padded in the middle because it's not meant to be a seat. But I always used to ride Bitch. I always because we had the game. The rules of the rules of now

old school older cars. The back of the back sheet was one straight bench, so anyway you sat on it was the same, except you had the hump in the on the floor and you had to put one leg on each. Still some cars that are made, yeah, but my car the back seat because they want the normal two passengers in the back to be comfortable. Those two seats are contoured where like the cushioning goes up on both sides of your ass, so like you sit like

in a seat, it caught, it cradles your ass. Yeah, but the middle seat now is mega bitch because you've got an armrest that back in the day, cause didn't have arm rest back in the back in the day. Now there's an armrest like so like you have that like both sides of the armrest have the crack right so that it can fall down. Each cheek is hanging off the left and the right side. And then you you're kind of stuck in the middle right, and you've got the other two people in like coushy comfort, you've

got the hup. So you're like you're like uber bitch. And I don't mean like the Cooper ubera. You're like super bitch because you're like you're ft by your feet, you're at by your button, you're aft in your back and and so like what do you do? You want to put your feet up on the armrest in the front, but then the drivers like, hey, moving your freaking feet off the car. I don't want your feet when I'm driving your feet are up there, and then put my

feet hurt. I don't care you lost, You're sitting bitch. Yeah, yeah, new cars are not designed like SIT's five comfortably, bullshit, it seats four comfortably. And the new Beauta Colantra, it's seats four. They can't advertise that anymore because unless there's a seat belt there for that middle seat. There's a seat belt, you know, but it but it comes from the roof, you know, like it, or it comes from behind the seat because there's no good place to put it.

That's that is not good. That's not living. But anyway, h so what we're saying, but how did I go on? This time? We were talking about how we didn't do a podcast and the feedback we got from our listeners who really missed the podcast. So some of them were like pseudo angry. A lot of them wanted free dessert. Right, so let me let me back all the way up. I think that we give them free dessert tomorrow. That that's really the moral of that that story. All right,

are you cool with that? Um? Yeah, yeah, I'll do that. Yeah. But it was like, yeah, we can deliver another podcast tomorrow. Okay, that's fine, but don't but don't don't do it like an appearance at a Burger place that sounds like welcome. You've got mail.

Okay, I got a couple more here. Um, let's see Heather Fidelibus right exactly. That's at Heather Fidelity, which is much easier to read. She writes at David Brody, a certain company screwed me on my two days shipping today company with an a

I'm assuming. I looked at my husband and told him that if I learned anything from Brody, it's that I have to get free dessert now. Okay. So I told her what to do and she wrote me back. She got free one month of Amazon Prime and attend Dollar gift card because she didn't get her to day delivery the day she was supposed to hashtag free dessert.

I have to and I have one more condest sending no minions like you know my disciples like, I'm very proud of them, my children, they're flying out there and getting free dessert. I also wanted to just acknowledge tack at k a Harper seventy eight, She wrote, is there a follow up story about your

daughter's uber id? Did you get free dessert? So I need to do an update on uber the the part two of the uber rant as a follow up, and I have a ups rant, so both rants involving the letter you. But before we get we have time. We have time. I have unused, I have unused jokes with you. You. I might need to enlist your help right now, Brodie, because I've been going through this for about six months. Okay, but before you say, remind me you had a rant today on the Big Show that we said you're gonna

You're gonna bring to the table today. It's a brody rant, but you did it and I called you on it. You didn't even realize you're brody ranting. Okay, then you have to call me out on't even know which one it was. I'm gonna write it down right now, but I will do the rant again here. Doesn't start with you, though, Go ahead, all right, Well are we writing all this down? Because I got it, we're getting ourselves more and more into her tails. Go ahead, you do your your complaint

and we're gonna bring Bethany in our persons. Not a keypok. It's not a complaint. It's it's actually something I'm gonna need help with because I actually got I bought a TV for my girlfriend a couple of years ago, not two years ago. Beautiful flat panel TV. And they're all flat panel. I know they're all flat panel. It's just a t V, all right, and it right what happens after it goes out of its about a year and about right after its warranty is over six months later,

the thing ships the bed. The TV doesn't turn on, and then we realize if you jiggle the cable a little bit, we think it might be the power supply is nothing, because the TV actually works, it works intermittently on, off, on. Now is this mounted on a wall where there would be no no, no, no, it's not it's it's actually freestanding. And this television is now well it's out of warranty.

I called up the company. I said, guys, four months after this thousand dollar television goes out of warranty, this starts to happen. Well, we're sorry. You have to take it to an independent repair person or you know, pay the price. Now, I know the TV is not shot because it does turn on occasionally if you jiggle the wire and the right by the way jiggling the wire, it turns me on as well. But it all tiggled my wire. I go right, But you jiggle the wire

on pretty much any apply acienswance it usually works. So it's not like it's it's something with the little like things on the screen, the led whatever the hell that that stuff is nothing with the motherboard. It's a freaking power supply problem. So I'm like, somebody just did something is not soldered properly on the inside and it's causing this to go on and off. Well, they're telling me that I'm gonna have to pay out a pocket for this. I think, did you? REGI is under two years old?

Did you register the TV when you bought it? Did you register the purchase date and you received you know that card that comes with it, because nobody they throw the card right out. I did. So here's my question was part of that. Let's say the TV was eleven months old, right, it's under warranty. How would you approve that? Do you have a credit card, Billy, of any kind of proof of purchase? I do have proof of purice. Yeah.

I paid for it on a credit card. I have the I have it right there, It's on my amix. I'll tell you. I'll tell you something that happened away. I got something repaired, because is it is? It? Is it hopeless for me and people that are in situation. Remember the months you bought it. It was December, was for Christmas, okay, and then and then a Christmas passed after that, and then it happened in April, my motherfucker's four months later. The thing goes out of you bought

it for yourself, right for my girlfriend? Okay, so it's at her house. Yeah. Well, the thing is I got a replacement TV, which I paid for because I felt bad, and that TV is now sitting on her apartment floor. And it's a great TV, it's a good condition and it's an extra TV. I'm so angry. I'm beside myself. Here's here's something that I did. I did it with um a hose reel. I did it with a barbecue grill, things out of warranty, and I did with a TV.

Said you buy the TV in December, right, but you didn't give it or set it up for a few months until July. Yeah, so you've really only used the TV for like eleven months, and you know it's defective. You know you should stand by your product. I mean there's ways is ways. Look, if you get the right customer service person on the phone, you can handle it two ways. When you're asking for a favor because you're in the wrong. You can be extra nice, extra polite and say, look, I WoT the TV of my mom.

She's you know, shut in, she don't get out much God, and you know she doesn't have the income to fix the television. Well this was this happened to my mother at one point. So I'm telling you, and if it's true, they're not gonna call and ask your mother how she's doing. And so you know you bought the TV by asking no, no, no, no no. But what I'm saying is you can. You

can bear your soul and explain the situation. And a lot of times the customer service person will say, you know what, Mr Brodie, it is a little bit out of warranty. But I see a regular customer because you know, miss I buy, We'll call it Johnson TVs. Because I don't want to mention a brand name, right, So you know what, all the TVs in my house for Johnson TVs. I buy nothing but Johnson TVs. And I have the models, and I go. I have an x K forty seven. I have an x K thirty six. I have a

U L forty five. I've been buying these Johnson TVs for eleven years. Everything I love, I love them. I get my friends to buy them. I'm very excited and happy with the brand. I've never had a problem. This one TV. I was shocked because you're Johnson TVs are the best. I tell everybody the best. Everyone knows I'm a Johnson TV guy. Slattery and and then I'm telling you, and by the way, this is true when I when I call a company, I'm telling the truth. With us.

So when you know you're in the wrong, I embellished the funk out of it. I let them know which is the truth. I'm a I'm brand loyal So if I buy a TV or stereo, I've bought eleven of them, like all my TVs in my house in the same company. So you're pretty much showing a history that I'm happy with the product, part of the family, happy with the product. I get my friends to buy Johnson TVs love. I

go to the electronics stores and starat Johnson TVs. I should call this company, yeah, and I should say tell them I would. Is there something you can do? Is this someone I can talk to you? Because really it's a couple of months and I don't. I don't pull on it. I don't have a dog, I don't have like nobody went back there. There's all by itself. Look, I I know sometimes TVs come out they're not perfect. Once in a blue moon, a soldering isn't perfect. I

get it. It happens, Okay. So if I combine that type of story, the flattery, the brand loyalty YEA, with the combination of someone who's a good customer service, then you're gonna get you free deserve. I've I've had very good luck. And if it doesn't work, you'll wait a day and call back and get somebody else who doesn't know you're called the first guy eventually. But what you're saying is I'm not entitled to anything it's going in this case. Legally, they can say what they want. Better

companies like Johnson TVs. Like if what if you have a major brand, gonna you know what, it's a major brand, right this This guy has a as eleven in a row Johnson TVs. Good guy, We wanted to buy a twelfth and thirteen Johnson TV and Sonic whomever. I'm alright, Well, Panasonic is a great company until I found LG and they're better. I would scar sorry because the replacement TV is kicking ass right now. All right, here's what I'll

say about Panasonic. In two thousand seven, when plasma TVs were big, Panasonic was the brand, right, Sony was your your regular HD, your whatever. I don't I remember it was forget what the alternative to plasma was back then, and so plasma You got a Panasa c D l c D your plasma, Right, Sony was the best l C D then Panasonic was Plasma, then it went into then Plasma got phased out and Panasonic got phased out. Panasonic is not a big name in TVs anymore. They

make a lot all the great. Yeah, okay, but I would have called them and said, look, love Panasai, Panasonic headphones, Panasonic. I would even mention that, you know, hey, I'm on the radio show. Panasonic is a sponsor. We love pans really on the radio show. Really well, don't you think I've tried that before. I'm just you gotta work it in. By the way, anyway, I have a microphone, so I feel like I don't want to use that. I want them to do it because as a customer, I deserve it. Uh,

but you have to prove you deserve it. Yeah, they get a thousand people calling with oh yeah, my TV it's broken, it's out of warranty. So if you get nowhere with them, then one then you escalate the conversation. You call back, Oh you try this story with another customer, right, and then you hit him up on Twitter? Because make do they make notes in your account? Like okay, they call this story. Some do, some don't. They have notes

in the account. Some of them. I said, I've noticed that, like, oh, we said, you called here ten minutes ago with a similar tale. Yeah, but you can say very easily, you say, you know what. I spoke to a guy yesterday. He told me that a supervisor could help me, but they were not available yesterday. Some call him back. So the whole And by the way, when they say they getting a supervisor, I'm convinced ninety cent at the time, it's just add next in the next cubicle. Yeah, I'm a supervisor.

Well ship, you're you're on the same levels. Yeah, hey, Mike and hit a supervisor. Oh yeah, okay, all right, all right, so then there you go. So when when you're in the wrong, when you're in the wrong, you got yeah, you can't do you can't pull the free dessert card. And the the even is not even because they don't owe you anything, right, and it wasn't a customer service. That's right, it's out of warranty. You got to give them the di verbal dessert. I'm in the wrong. Uh.

Bethany's peering through the glass. I think she's ready to come in and curse. Now, if you don't, if you didn't hear a curse, on the podcast before case you're listening out of order. Bethany is very prim and proper on the radio and on her podcast and acquired taste. And so we got a couple of requests because we cursed on the podcast and we curse on the fifty minute Morning Show, and not because we can curse. We just work it into its regular conversation for us. We

don't have to be careful about what we say. Somebody said, well, we've we've never heard Bethany curse on the fifty minute Morning Show. Can she come up? Can she curse on your podcast? And by the way, I mean it took a lot for her the state of the word fart on the on the morning show. I mean that was like a ten minute segment on the show. And she finally did and it was she kind of slurred it. She barely said it. I don't even think she it counts that that that that's how like barely she said it.

But well that's just where she was. She's from the Midwest. He's from Wisconsin. And another thing, um here she comes hit the button button button. OK. So Bethany is known for using big words, and that's why another reason I think she doesn't curse because most curses of like four letter words five letter words, mostly four, and I think that the length of the curse words are beneath her. But anyway, so we got we got a jingle for her.

People said, we want to hear Bethany curse on your Ethan a lot of good feedback from the last time she came on and she cursed on the show. So hold on, turn her my gun. Rookie kie, we have a jingle. You are ready? Are you almost ready to curse? Yes? The jingle on Bethany Watson from the elp Strade Morning Show. Well, I feel ripped off because that's the same exact cadence and the same jingle and the same singers as we may have had the same day recording session. Were on

a bus. Okay, similar Okay, Oh I forgot my jean jacket. Wait wait, wait, hol on, you have a costume for this? My god, why can't you just cars like you can't? She's just come in and just do this. Okay. So while Bethany's out let me just talk about I wasn't talking about a sponsor, right, I got rans to get you. Bethany has a sponsor Bethany's wearing her sponsor. Where did you get that beautiful jean jacket there, Bethany? Why a

company called Boho Hunter? Come on, Hold on a second, Come on, you asked I just wanted to wear my jeans. I didn't know, but I did ask. I fell right into that trap. We're trying to get sponsored, beautiful jack and he's mentioning every client that already sponsors him. This isn't a sponsor. Okay, good, yeah, alright, to play the jingle again for Bethany. I'm excited to hear a kurstony. Seriously, but you're can you can do? This is a four letter word or what? Bethany dull eyed lights? Hold on

a second. She's got a mug of something and it's smoking. Wait a minute, what is Why is this a bubbling mug? It's like a bubbling quadron. It's for my curse. There's a lot of fanfare, a lot of smoke around this. Ready, I just cursing is easy, so I'm just gonna do it. Ready, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, Aldo. I feel like I should get ready here, hold on my ready, I feel like it should be snapchating We're gonna gonna social media this hold on. It's very exciting.

You're gonn curse the curse? I mean it's not like, yeah, what is I'm ready? Ready? What is going on there? Do you want to replay this jingle? And I've played it like eight times? Ready you want to hear it? I want to hear Okay, here we go. This is a Bethany's Curse of the week to shadows of darkness, spirits within harness, the energy. Let it begin, draw down the moon, bring me the shadows. I am ready to see my other side. Can't you just say? Fuck man? That was her curse? Dude, you did that to me

last time. I need something, just quick, something something. That's it. That's it. That's we ask. Do you want me to try one more times at the knee? Are you ever? Are you going to come in here? This is what she does swearing. The thing is fucking bubbling. It's a it's a coffee mug and part of the process. Can you not talk over the sound? What is in that? Have you ever not talked in your entire life? Like scary? It's a white coffee and there's just smoke upon smoke

upon smoke billowing out of the damn thing. But we asked it a curse. Come on, okay, I'll do it again. I want you to curse. I want, I want, I want. Okay, I'll get curse. Ready to play sounder. The black power of the raven flies above my head, the black power of the feather and the smoke and the dead. Okay, thank you? Are you gonna drink from that? Now? She looks evil. I'm afraid now. Oh she's been transtricism. I can't believe what I'm just what I'm seeing right now.

Thank you, Thank you. All right, thanks for coming by. Stop by Bethany. Listen to an Acquired Taste podcast every Wednesday on I Heart Radio. All Right, get out with our podcast. I love you too. Do we get plugs on your podcast? What? Bertie here? Yeah, and said that they don't plug us. I would complain, but you'll put a curse on us. I do have to thank Brodie because he's been very helpful in the gift preparation for

the Acquired Taste listeners. So we will plug you on on the We've taped ahead a little bit, but we're gonna plug you guys because you guys are awesome. We love you. We love you too. If there's anything we can ever do for you, let me know. Maybe you two okay, coo, okay, okay, okay, So what else are we gonna talk about? Nothing we can we talk about I'm afraid, okay to talk about what's going on in the background. What you guys are doing is that is

that we just can't be too specific. Okay. I gotta tell you, I feel I feel bad for our listeners because you guys are doing something amazing. You're you guys are pretty much giving something to your listeners for the holidays, right, Yeah.

We we just wanted to say thank you, you know, because we have a lot of amazing listeners as to you guys who are like listening with heart, like they are not only listening, but they're actively engaging in the community, and we just wanted to, like, it's not much, it's just a way to say thanks. So we asked people to send us their mailing addresses and we're going to

send them a little something. And that makes our podcast look bad to try to make you guys, we just thought it was I think it's it's it's it's unexpected and unrequired. So I think that you guys aren't doing anything wrong. Yeah, but you guys are doing something so right.

And I feel like we're only twenty one were twenty one episodes in here, and we're up, So it's a little I mean, we've just we've been around longer that we want to say thanks for being with us, which is nice, but I feel like I feel like that I feel naked because we're not taking care of our sneers in a way. And I'm gonna work on something. I mean, I've been I have some ideas for our listeners, but you guys have other things in the works as well, and I feel like I want to be there with

you guys. It's not a jealousy thing so much as I'm envious that we're not hooking up our listeners the way you guys are hooking up yours, I don't think. But I don't want to overblow what this is. It's not like we're sending them packages in the mail. Thought it's so thoughtful, and you know what, I feel like we we oh. I feel like I want to buy our listeners a slice, like a slice of pizza. I think we should maybe give every one of our listeners

a slice of pizza. But it's a lot. Though, even if even if we have a dollar slice, we has a kind of money. So can we order like seven slices? You think we get a discount on that? What about the other We have to sponsor at that point the way get a sponsor because this is expensive expensive? All right, it's expensive af um, But you guys are amazing I podcast. Hey, thanks for your curse of the week. Christmas Christmas, Merry Christmas, Chris, Christmas is here? Bye? Yeah? So can I tell you

about the guest that I'm trying to book? Would you? I'm still working on Michael Rappaport. Is that really going to happen? Though? He follows me on Twitter? That's enough, We'll get his attention, damnit. So I'm thinking we should have snooky Nicole Polizian studio. I have a connect to get her up here. We do have a lot in common, don't we. I mean you and she? Yeah? Well yeah, I mean Jersey Shore. Like I used to party there a lot. She used to party there a lot. The

thing is now she's you know, she's got a family. Um, I happened to I haven't to know her husband. I was in a fantasy football league with him. But she also has a podcast, and I figure it'll be great for her to come on here and her talk about our podcast. And we talked about her podcast, and you know, we just have a good time. She seems like the kind of person that could get down with us that

there's no restrictions. You know why the fact Jewish worked, you know why, you know got you know guys like that, because it's like he could sit down and just beat him all right, Like in our old podcast that I used to do. We had Stasi from um fan of pup Rules up here a couple of times, and she was great because she would just sit down and be herself. We can talk about it. Do you want her life?

I feel like I wanted my Gae rappaport And he said yeah, I feel like it went to would even out if I said, but but Snook, he would be great because she would open up, I think, and I think she would because she shot. She shot. You can't get you can't get out of talk. But that's my point. You know what would fit right in with us. She would she would roll with the punch. Here's what I like the most. Regular show and she would fit right.

Here's what I like most about Snooky. In two thousand six, I wrote a song for the New York Mats when they were in the World Series. Well, they were going to the World Series. They didn't didn't make it, but they were on their way and uh she filmed herself singing the song on YouTube and put it up. So she was a fan of my work before she was famous. So I would talk to her about that. But I was in her basement and she has no clue. Yeah, I mean I was with her. I was with her.

We're doing a fantasy football draft. Fantasy football draft. Well, I can't say anything negative because you may want to have her on, so I won't. Here's what I'll say. Tweet us and let us know if we should have uh Snooky on. She And by the way, this is not Snooky two eight. No, No, not, this is this is she's changed. By the way, about about tweeting us, I want to make a request of our listeners. Um,

Instagram isn't really a communication social media platform. To go on a picture of me with b B eight and start talking about other stuff, that's for Instagram. That's no, that's for Twitter. That's t I'm saying, don't go on Instagram and still having conversations that are not about the picture. That happens every time, you know, it's just not really the place for it. Or DM me and I'll have

a conversation to you. But it's weird to have like, oh, asking me example, I don't want to call anybody out, but then it be like, well I don't have Twitter. First of all, you just have Twitter. It's awesome. Um, but DM me then I respond to all d M it's not a problem. So or email us or whatever. But they should stay on point one message. If there's a picture of you with b B eight, yeah, but the girl I love, They should love to man nice converse. Yeah,

when's the Brooklyn Boys podcast? That's that's okay. But if it's like other stuff, the problem. The problem is they have no other place on Instagram to go because they can only comment on pictures and they'll go to your most recent They can m they can slide their mind, they can slide into my d M s, or they can they can email me my emails on Elvis Oran

dot com. You can email me anytime you want. I just sometimes it's clunky to have conversations back in because then you get an alert and you have to find it in the stream and scroll looking for the whatever. By the way, I really want to hear what's going on with this uber. I gotta I gotta up. Okay, So just to reset quickly, last we left the Charles and Tribulations of Uber. Put my twelve year old daughter in in uber to go north on the New Jersey Turnpike.

The driver when south by mistake, got off, looped around when south by mistake, looped around when south by mistake, and finally went north after looping south south south south right. Uh got her there forty minutes late. Tried to charge me sixty three dollars for thirty dollar ride. Actually, so it was my wife who put her in the in the uber. It was my wife's account and her email address that paid for the uber. Right. I refused to deal with you still came at him our joint bank

account whatever. So uh, my wife tried to complain politely through the app and they were like, uh, the driver took the best route possible and uh sorry, and she's like, no, look at the map because you can chart it, right, Okay, you guys all heard the uberrant when I said it's I'm Melissa bit right, So it ended the last you heard was they weren't gonna help. I've been ripping them on on social media day after day, our listeners, great listeners,

ripping them all. So give Brodie's free dessert whatever. So the bottom line with me was they said they wanted my phone number, then said we're not gonna call you because we're gonna call your wife whatever. Then I said, okay, what call my wife? And they said, oh, we don't call people. We just use your phone number to look up your account. So after all that, they're not calling either one of us. Okay, So my wife goes on Twitter.

After I tell her there's nothing I can do, but if you want give them your number and hand me the phone like I'm ready or whatever you want me to do. She's like, well, logging you want to be logging her Twitter account and finally said, you know what, I'll handle it. I've learned a thing or two over the years. I'll handle it. So she goes on social media.

She's got like thirty followers. She's not it's not big on on on Twitter, but whatever, she used her account, and she said, hey, you guys suck you try, you didn't help me, blah blah blah. So they they write her back an email. They look up her account the email and I said, hey, They said the same bullshit again. We really want to help you, but our wreck heard show whatever, Please use the app. She went off on

them in an email. They called her, She didn't answer the phone, she didn't recognize the number, but Uber, who doesn't call anybody, called her right left a voicemail with an email address. She emailed them again, what happened when south and south and south and they and and they're like, and you tried to charge me, You did nothing. All they did was then charge how the right amount? No free dessert. Nothing sounds like they're driving her in circles

the way they drove your daughter in circles. But ump ump. So she got back to the people that called her, even though they claim they never call anybody, and they apologized. Oh and they gave us a full refund free dessert. Bam got the ride for free, so hold on, hold on and dollar credit for the next ride. There's your free dessert. Okay, that's the free And then I jumped

ahead so so the ride was free. We apologize because my wife said to them okay and same thing and said, yeah, okay, so you didn't charge us for the bad ride as you shouldn't have okay, and why would I use your service again? And they said, here credit towards you next ride. We're terribly sorry. Let us let us do better next time. So kudos to my wife for picking up the mantle, running with it and getting refund and free dessert from Uber.

You suck less. Now, Uber, there's your update and unused punch line that is not my rant of the day. My rant of the day has Oh it hasn't ending you you're gonna not see coming. Okay, we're talking to

this out. I want to give credit to an unused joke from a Texter from texted in the part of the show where we have unused jokes from the elst Ran Big Show where I write jokes of people on the show as the show is live, as it's happening, and the punch line don't get used and rather than getting tossed in the garbage, we saved them and read them live on this podcast. Okay, So we were talking about doing Keegel's kegels is when you women tighten up

their vaginal muscles or whatever they do. They know what it is. For men, it's when you're peeing and you stop your stuff from peeing. You squeeze it and like you contract something and you stop being That's the the Keegel muscle. It's not really the Keegel muscle, but you feel it in the venus. Right, whatever you do, you you're exercising cotwegles, right, okay, and the and so a text are cald it and said they should call that puss ups up. I didn't write that. Those very funny.

We did a story about Apple is opening up factories in Ireland and I said, oh, then that case they be Macintosh apples. Little mick joke down all right. Uh. We were debating whether die Hard is a Christmas movie and because people say, well, it's a Christmas movie because it was there was a Christmas party going on when the buildings attacked in the first I Heard movie. By the way, it's not called die Heard one, it's just Diehard,

okay um. And I said, well, if Diehard's a Christmas movie simply because it has a Christmas tree and a scene, then Jaws is a summer fun film because and they didn't go to that. Uh, there was a story about someone getting arrested for drag racing in a Buticles Saber. Buticles Saber is an old guy's car. It's an old piece of ship. No offensive Bulticles Saber. Beautiful podcast right now, not a new Buticles Saber, the old ones, the big ones.

And I said, if if a Buticles Saber was dragging, do anything dragging on a bugle Saber was probably the muffler. We didn't get to that. A woman burned down her house because she had bed bugs, so she tried to burn them out of the bed and under them, and she burned down the whole house. So my joke was, now she has rubble bugs. We didn't get to that. Um. We did a story about a woman who likes to she people who marry inanimate objects. That is so remember that on the Big Shop. It's so weird to me.

So a woman married her scissors, so I said, well, you know a lot of women love scissoring. We didn't get to that. That's funny. Another woman married the statue of Liberty, so my joke was, well, she carried a church for the statue Liberty for many years. We didn't get to that one. Uh Froggy said, if we asked everyone on the show, if you could marry anything you want, what would you marry Frog? He said he'd marry his bed, and I said, well, sure, as the treats his bed

like a king. We didn't get to that. That's a cute, little acute little pun. Uh. Dave Matthews had his appendix taken out, which I wrote, I guess his body isn't a wonderland. We didn't get to that. Well, I have your body Wonderland by John Mayer, right, which is why we didn't get to that joke. I didn't want to point that out. Would have been a good joker, was John Mayer. We get to that joke. But if John Mayer has an accident, I'm using that joke again. What

happened was his Dave Matthews story. Again, he has appendix taken out. Okay, yeah, but anyway, Yeah, I sucked up the singer. That's the changeable. He does aunts marching. That's right, all right? And then um Elvis was talking about how he brought bathball and he took a bath of this effervescent bathball. And he said, I'm not used to taking a bath with a bathball, and I said, no, you're used to taking a bath with footballs at the topic, how did he not do that job? I don't know.

I don't want to do not all great one of them. I funked up the singer. But that would made my day right there. That's like reaching number one on the old David Letterman's Top ten list. And finally the number one and what are you talking about? Usually have footballs in your tope? He didn't get to that one. That was my favorite joker. That joke stands on its own without even having a sense the fact he didn't do it his nuts yo anyway, Um, So I wanted to

tell you what I'm having for dinner for Christmas Eve. Yeah, and I wanted to share this with but I want to talk about I want to talk about your rant. If you get your rant, I have a side rant, and then I have a rant. So pick your order. How many freaking rants? Well? I got enough at Tomorrows show too. Sure we haven't been on it two weeks, that's right. So I wanted to tell you guys what what I'm having I'm just gonna be straight out with it.

I'm having sushi. We order sushi on Christmas Eve. It's become a tradition in the Scary family, held very close to the vest. We don't want to admit it to too many people. Yeah, and because I don't know why, we just you know, Chris to cook for Christmas Eve in the Catholic tradition. When when you say the Scary family, you mean your mom and dad, Yeah, my brother, my sister Anthony and Rowe and aunt Millie and yeah, Tony and Rowe from Brooklyn. This is their idea. They started this.

But well, no, wait a minute, are you counting I'm gonna get this wrong. Forgive me, I'm not I'm not a Christian, don't you guys? Do the feast of like the seven fishes. Yes, and there's seven fish if you want, that's exactly how you can get it. You got you got a tuna, you got to I got lobster, salmon, salmon I got, and I got shrimped. And you're doing another one. So you're doing the feast of the uncooked

seven fishes. I'm it's still seven fish. If you think about it, you're right because you're supposed to have seven fish. So and by the way, I pluralize fishes because that's what it's called, the seven fishes. I know it's fish, but I've heard referred to in Brooklyn seven fish. Correcting yourself up before the grammar police come together. I'm letting you know that I'm I'm I'm calling it what people in Brooklyn call it, the Feast of the seven Fishes,

A step ahead of the curve. That was my homage to Brooklyn. Your homage. Well, at the end of the day, it is a bit to cook, I mean, for for Christmas Eve, because if you're trying to do seven fish, the first of all, you gotta have like seven people, like a team of people working because everything needs to be clean, and it's just it takes a lot of time. It's very laborious to put together a Christmas Eve feast

that ends when you gobble it up in three minutes. Yeah, but your mom row has been making Italian style Brooklyn Christmas meals and calamaria, little bottle of send book on the table, rightete. So we've been doing this forever and then a few years ago she just stopped and she's like, because what if we just flipped this bitch and just totally do sushi. And so we get like pretty much the best is wrong. The best takeout sushi you know available in Brooklyn at that hour. Well, they're all open

actually on Christmas Seve, believe it or not. And we we we go pick up Platza sushi. We ordered an advance. So my mother, a mother one, is texting me right now. I want to She's got me out of group text with my sister, trying to take our dinner orders. Look at her. She this is my mom. She she's got me, my sister, my brother, and she's all right, who wants what? And then she screenshots the order from two thousand fift moms screenshotting she goes, do you want porkyosa? Do you

want salmon roll? The yummy roll? Who wants the Connie? Well, I get it, the Yaka Tory chicken. In lieu of cook, king and cleaning, she's taken up the mantle of just putting together the order. Yeah, that's exactly I need seven layer lasagna, Mom, that's what I need. That's Christmas Day. The next day we do. Everything is cooking, right, I know, by the way I don't imply that your mother should cook alone. But I don't think your dad cooks right now.

He grills now, right, they don't cook. So but I did convince her a couple of years ago, like, Ma, we can't. We gotta have I gotta have big clams, and I gotta have I gotta have fried shrimp. So it's my job. Jesus died for your sins. You gotta have some big job to lug my my deep friar over to the house and take care of that. And I fried the shrimp. So we do fried shrimp on Christmas Eve. But we don't do you know, we we don't do the rest of it. But Christmas Day, that's

another story. You gotta have the Jesus fish. You gotta have that, which is Jesus fish, the one on the back of the car. That one gotta have that one, whatever kind of fish is. Anyway, my mother's going crazy right now. I don't know why we just can't be done on an email or a quick conference call. She's got to get everybody involved, because my phone's like going off, like vibrating, like every five seconds. Why don't you why

doesn't she just put on an email? That says, let me know what you want and then just email her. We ordered seafood salad too for the Eve. Is she available now? I feel like we should get on the phone and call her on the carpet on this that's a lot of food that's okay. By the way, bringing it back old school from episode one, Mom is Scary? Who knew what WTF meant? By the way, we run

a promo on the Big Show. Now we all have promos like little advertisements for our podcasts, and uh Coaster boy Josh on our show put together the promo for the Brooklyn Boys and he has your mother saying w TF, but not my mother. My mother's pissed. Yeah, I'm pissed about that too, because it should be Brodie's mom and Scary's mom should have been Yeah, you're not that pissed because it's your mom. What were you asking her? I just want to talk to her on what she's handing

in her time card. She might see the number come up and specifically she's busy making the gravy and the sauce home right now. The who who's still who still has their voice on their voicemail? I do it's gone it's over. Well, I don't say hi, this is you know I I say something obnoxious about the telemarcters because that's all who calls me. No, no, I get on my voicemail is just the lady the one that comes with the phone vomit. Well, no, because I don't even bother.

Some people I know don't even set up voicemails anymore. Do you remember back in the day when um, we used to have so you know what you know, guys, you know what an idea is? An ideas when you have the celebrity record like, hey it's uh, it's Kesha and you're listening to Elvistra in the morning show. Hey it's uh Michael Cutlets and you're listening to Walkers and Talkers podcast with David Brodie and Jamie. It's when you

get them to say who you're listening to. So we used to have a sheet for the celebrities back in the nineties and early two thousand and they just have to rattle of everybody, Right, you're listening to Mo and Max, weell everybody else on the show on the station, and then at the end it would say, hey, this is bon Jovi. We can't come to the No one could come to the phone right now, leave a message and one of someone will call you back and they would

record that. Well, we would we use it once, like maybe in a promo, but then all the jocks would take it home and then put on their answering machines. After well, the artist would come and go, what's this for? Oh, yeah, it's for the radio station. Yeah, I don't do that. They realized that we were just using it for our phone voicemails. So I used to call my house and you would hear celebrities answer the phone and you know, and I was like, hey, no one can comes to

that's the Google dolls. We can come up to the phone right now. Who still uses that that phrase? Can? Who? So and so can't come to the phone right my mother? I feel like that is that is a long gone Like nobody says hi I can't get or who on their voicemail. The few people who do actually leave, you know, actually record their voicemail message you're not going message? Who still says leave a message at the sound of the beep?

Does anyone still do that? My mother doesn't? My mother makes a joke, or they'll say something like Uh, let let us know the time you called, and and and uh and your phone number. Helldo we have call time stamp? Hold on, hold on, hold on, you don't not all phones have caller. I d old school phones not answering please anyway. I had someone called my house. I actually called my house this week from my kids school and she calls up and he says, hey, it's Mrs blah

blah blah, I'm calling about your your your kid. We have some good news blah blah blah. Um. Well, you have my number now, so give me a call back or you can email. Then she left her email. I had to build. I had to email her because you can't call a home number and say yeah, you have my number now, so you can call me back. No, I don't leave your damn number. So my voicemail doesn't

say leave. You know, nobody calls my house. To telemarketers, we have I have a their case of emergency or in case family cousins whatever uncle's want to call the house, like if they want to wish everybody happy holiday, that we have the phone number there. But like a many people, I don't even have landlines. Now we have a landline for people are Hudao's the landline. We have a landline. For whatever reasons, we don't call out on the landline.

We don't nobody calls us on the landline. It's there in case the school needs to call us and get in touch with one of us. Whatever, blah blah blah whatever. But she assumed we had call her. I d and the whole thing. So I'm very upset with your mother. And why are you upset with me? Well, I'm upset. I'll get to that in a minute. I just want to say, in case anyone calls me on the carpet being Jewish, you know, on Christmas Day, I'm in a movie,

movie theater, and Chinese food. That's okay, because that's our holiday tradition. Chinese food in the movie. It's a known fact. Christmas Day, that's what we do. No one's in the theater. We run rampant on the streets. It's our day to be big shots out there. We go to Chinese food because they're open, and movie theater because there empty. Okay, that's not the same as you guys eating sushi, because

you're you're blaspheming your holiday. You're desecrating your holiday. That'd be me, like ordering Italian food on on the hanka or pass over and saying, oh, gonna have lasagna, can have lasagna. I gave you ten, they gave me ten. Today. You outed breakfast right, you turned into me today when your Greek salad arrived. You sounded like me when you opened up your Greek salad. What was on your Greek saladin's? Yeah, what did you say? You threw a all fit? You

threw it. You're like this, You're like it was in a brown paper bag. You're like, hold the hell put Sartine's on a Greek salad because Greek salad means Greek salad. You don't put Sartin's on a Greek salad. They don't come on a Greek salad. They don't naturally appear on a Greek salad. A Greek salad has feta, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, maybe onion, and and and lettuce and and and dressing. That's it. And I said a chicken. So they had

a chicken. And they put seven smelly, freaking sardines across, laid them across the salad neatly, so the entire top of the surface area had sardine stink on them. I was so angry. I'm like, is that such a is that a thing? What Greek salad? Do you know? Okay, sardine's. Want me ask you a question? Did you order it? No, sardine's No, did you ask what the what the ingredients were? I wasn't expecting to see sardine's on the menu. Yeah, I didn't expect pickles on my Chick fil a sandwich,

But you gave me crap for it. You gotta ask what's on it and say what's on top? What's in the ingredients that you're not listening? That came out of left field. Okay, who the funk put sardine's on a Greek sal It's a Greek so I'll tell you who. After this happened to me, I realized anything is freaking possible. I think I told this story on the Brooklyn Boys podcast, the one about the chicken palm in a box. Yes, I order a chicken palm in a box from Benzi

Italian restaurant. It's a chain, right. They put pickles in the box because the manager, because I complained because the pickle juice linked all over my chicken palm. Pickle is what you put with a Deli sandwich. If I ort a corn beef, I know I'm gonna say no pickle. Check out my Instagram today, I put up a picture in my order for you. Ordered the Greek salad. I ordered chicken palm hero and on my order I wrote no pickles anywhere, because I don't want some guy going

I'm gonna throw him a pickle. I don't want your pickle. So would you like slaw with your rod? You're mis spaghetti. Nobody puts pickles with chicken palm. So after this idiot who's obviously not Italian because they take a back to his head an Italian neighbor for putting a pickle with chicken palm, after he put pickle juice pickles in my chicken palm box and shook it up real good, and I got pickle palm after that hashtag pickle palm. I know.

Don't trust anyone. Why because, as Joe Pesci said, they fucket to drive through, they fuck you to go orders. You gotta you gotta make sure you know what's in that box, so you know what fuck you when you saw Dean's all over your Greek style the Benvenudo Cafe right now, and see if sardines are part of the

Greek salad. I'm looking it up right now. Yeah, you know what I'm looking at because all I said, all I heard was I said, I said, uh, Andrew, who was taking orders, by the way, give me a Greek salad. Sardinia part of Italy, you should like him, Yeah, but not part of Greece. It was a Greek salad. It's right in the Saint Mary and Mediterranean Sea. No, ben Venudo Cafe. How do you even spell this word? Why are you calling him out? No, I'm calling him out.

So I have you called Benzi ben Venudo Cafe? Hold on, you gonna call him? I just don't call him. Call him and ask him, ask him why they put sardine's on a Greek salad. They had four point three stars on The food was great. It was awesome that I had the chicken palm, I had a potato pancakes. Oh, I'm on their their Benno to Go website. Hold on, I'm gonna look on the salads. Let's see if sardines

are on here. I they came out of nowhere. I'm like, at first, I didn't even know I had a Greek salad by the way, Yeah, I I put up the picture of my order this morning on my Facebook page and I said, no pickles. Pickles are gross because my order says chicken palm, potato pancakes, no pickles anywhere. And it's on my Instagram account A David underscore brod. You can see the picture. My cousin who I love, my cousin Diane, my first cousin. She writes back, I agree,

we're definitely related. Yep, that's my cousin. Pickles don't belong your chicken palm. Okay, I gave you that, but I know I know for next time. Do sardin's belong on a Greek side? I don't know. I don't eat Greek salad. Why because the galad well, because a Greek salad could be anything. If I have a caesar salad, I know what's in it, I ask. I'm gonna call them because they'll throw sardine's on the caesar salad because what's what's

in the chef's salad? Who the hell knows? Chef shalad usually deli meats that are like oh yeah, but the chef could put whatever he wants it. It's the chef salad, chef's salad. What's in the house salad? Who the hell knows. There are certain things that are traditionally mean, certain things like number one. Like a number one club is always turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, on on, hold on, thinking on on on white toast, cutting force. That is that is classically a number one club.

In fact, if you look at number one on a way, if it was a number one club, you'd be waiting outside to get in. Yeah, number one on the diner. Men, you go to a diner menu, any diner menu, every different number one is always that. Now sometimes it's a triple decker. But you know what, when you order a ruben, you know what you're getting. No, is it a petram rouen corn? I'll tell you what. Ben Venutos the company right here, what's a ruben is supposed to have on it?

Sala kraud yep, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing right a thousand island, thousand island, but usually Russian. Usually it's on a toasted rod, right on? What kind of meat? Corn, beef? I was gonna have a reuben, but at ben Venuto they're ruben. Pastrami is meat, right, pastrami, Swiss cheese, sala kraut, hold on your hold on your seat, Dijon mustard, Dijon mustard. The fund is that that's not a Reuben, not a Reuben. But that's sort of even subway the chain that their

commercials are run TV right now. These commercials are running nationally. They're running national commercials about the ruben is back. They even know how to do a rubin, right? Are you sponsored by them? I'm not a robin is is a classic sandwich. My point is people will do whatever they want. Certain things means certain certain have connotations to them. When you say Greek salad, it does not mean sting. But this place put mustard on a roban. Okay, I'll put

mustard on a robin. I them and it's not a robin. I'm gonna call them right now. Well, let's get them on the phone. Oh this is almost I wanted your mother on the phone. But you get them on the phone. We haven't called a company in a while. This is good pickle par My god, I'm upset now thinking about pickle. And try again. This is the number. Clearly it's not you know, what. The phone is probably overloaded with people complaining about their sardines. On the Greek salad They got

four and stars, though doesn't make any sense. Don s Greek? By the way, Speaking of Greek salads, I love a good gyro. I know it's a Euro. I'm from New York. I'm calling it a giro, all right. It gyrates around on that little slight, that meat spinning thing. Hold on, I order it meat and tomato only. You know what they say every time you don't want a sauce. You don't want a sauce. I don't want the cue. Coumba sauce, No sauce, that's what only means meat and tomato only.

You know how many times they put the sauce on Anyway, every time. I can't trust anybody anymore. Oh the ring, Oh, I guess the number was wrong on your end. In my head, Hi Ben, the noodle? Hif if I was to make an order, I don't have the menu in front of me. What is it? A Greek salad? Cucumbers, tomatoes? And what was that? And what's it the what? Oh? Anchovies? Huh? Not sardines but antchovies. There's fish on there. Yes, sir, is that Greek? Definitely? Definitely? I've had Greek salad before.

So is your Greek salad more authentic by putting the the sardines on top anchovies? An? All right, I'll call back with a bit a bigger order in about five minutes, thank you. I should ask about the ruben. You hung up on them, so that was all our second. So they weren't even sardines, they were ancho. I don't even know the difference because they both smells disgusting. You think all fish look alike. That's racist, so ant chovies. So

I was eating ancho even worse. All right? You could have taken him home and had six more fishes and then you had your dinner. So I was eating some more fish. I was eating anchovies. Did you eat them even? No? I fucking And not only that, but that whole top layer of my salad I do in the a thing it had, yeah, it had, it had anchovies smell on it. Now, if it had sardine's you wouldn't have eaten me. I

don't like anything like that. You like that that salty canny, you know those fish, salty canned fish, you know those fish. I need yeah, I need a skate key to open the can. No, I don't want any spam fish. Yeah, that's what it is. It's the it's the spam of fish. Yeah, it really is both sardines and anchovies. Wait, but they didn't have heads to them. Yeah, they they were the famous headless fish. They were spread out. I'm telling you, it's almost like someone was playing a joke on me,

freaking putting anchovies. Hey, listen, you heard the guy if if he claims that's more Greek than regular grief, you're Greek, guys uber Greek. If you're Greek and you're listening to this podcast right now, I'm gonna and you're telling me that is tradition to put anchovies on Greek salad. Hold on, Okay, then I apologize. But I've eaten a lot of Greek salad in my time, a lot from a lot of different places. Never ever, ever, Genius Kitchen has a recipe

for Greek salad with anchovies. I'm looking at uh yep, baby green Greek salad with anchovies, apparently. But that that's if you add to it. I could say baby green Greek salad with chicken or shrimp. But does it traditional looks like it looks like at Wikipedia. Wikipedia's explanation. It's a Greek cuisine. Let's see it's uh uh. Feta cheese has served on Hydra Island. Cucumbers are peeled. Main ingredients tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, cheese,

olives usually Kalmada olives, a regular olive oil. All that hold on at the Colamada Colamada. Those are the squashy ones, bell pepper's capers, fine all possible. Let's see. Greek salad is often imagine verys other salads in grease. Nope, outside Greece, let's see outside Greece, Let's see Greek salad is served in France. This is where liberal supply of onion an American Greek salad served with lettuce that Denmark is not going to find it. The people at the Benvenuto Cafe

made it up. This This is their concoction, the same way they concocted that dijon mustard goes on a Reuben pepper and sni Bell peppers gradishes occasionally on American style Greek salad. Here it is here it is multiple cube jake cuttings mixed with the vegetables. And olives are the most standard elements in an American style Greek salad, but cucumbers, pepper and cini, pickled hot peppers, bell peppers, onions, radishes, name everything in the gold dolmades, and anchovies slash sardines

are common in Detroit. For example, Greek salad includes bo and in the Tampa Bay area and includes potato salad. Get that, a lottie. You can't put potato salad in a Greek salad. You can in Tampa, the home of the most strip clubs in America. That's what I'm saying. It's just it's like these are very boobies and potato salad sitting in New York City. But you know what, You're an American, and an American Greek salad could have

sardines slash anchovies. But I guarant freaking tea. You can go on Wikipedia and by the way, don't change it because it's a wickie. I know you can change it right now. If you go on Chicken Palm, it doesn't say pickles. They the two do not go together. Therefore, your rant unjustified because ben Venuto is like that's I don't think it's a Greek name, it's Italian name. So you're trusting an Italian place to do an American Greek salad where you could have anchovies slash sardine. They chopped it.

I asked him to chop it, can toss it and mix in the dressing, and they did, and it was delicious. Underneath, right, the underneath was the fingered the ball. I saw your finger in the ball was getting a dressing. The ball skill almost gave the ball the shocker. That's how much you like that dress? All right? So should we save the rands for the free dessert? I got I gotta

got one. I gotta do my ups ramp. Let's do the ups ran all right, and then we and then we're gonna close this one out and then tomorrow we got more. So this this one, I don't know. I don't know if what's gonna be left. We've we've done so much today some material that I think we're gonna have crumbs left. We'll have plenty. Don't worry. Here we go, okay. So it's it's package sending season. Boxes are arriving all the time, every hour now my house. Some of them

have food in them. Eat it my house to get to my house this driveway and his little walking path from the driveway and it's uh five steps to my little porch area where all the packages go by the front door. My wife says to me, Hey, when you come home, there's a giant box block in the staircase from ups Okay, giant box, huge box, not for us. So I said, well, it was the box for so

she says, it's it's addressed wrong. Now I'm not gonna use my my actual street names, but let's just say hypothetically. I lived on a street called Rosen r O sc N. The box said it was addressed to Rose, right, so I live on let's say Rosen Street. Okay, the box was addressed to Rose Drive. There is no Rose Drive in my town, but there's a Bows Drive. So not only was the address one letter the street name one letter off, but because Bows became Rose, it was delivered

to Rosen Street, not Drive. So I can see what the problem was. But it's not my box. Giant box, too big for me to lift. I don't know if they got a dishwasher. I don't know what's in there, but it's from bed, bath and beyond. Somebody, somebody messed up the label, of course, so we do the right thing. We see the person's name. We go on Facebook. No, I always don't know. I don't do the wrong thing. So we go on Facebook. Try to find the guy's name.

Anyone know this guy from bows Drive? Admirable? Nobody knows. I can't go to bows Drive because it's a gated it's a private town house community. Of course, I can't even get in there. I can't bring the box. It's too freaking heavy, it's black in my staircase. So I called you PS right. I don't even look at the tracking number. I don't know. My wife said it's from UPS there's a tracking number whatever. So I'm driving home. I'm driving. I'm driving to see my mom, so I

have like an hour drive. I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna make a phone called kill two Birds one Stone. So I call you PS UP and I get I don't know what country, And I tell the guy this is the situation. Uh, well, can I have the tracking number? Piece? And I said, I don't know the tracking number. Here's what I need the tracking number. I said, Look, I'll give you the name on the on the box. I'll tell you the dress. I'll tell you where it is. I'll give you my address on Rosen Street. You can

go pick it up. Without the tracking number. I can't do it. No, no, no, no, look it up. Look up bed Beth and Beyond's account. Look up. I'm telling you the name of the address it's supposed to go to. The guy's name is like whatever, Moldovia, whatever the guy's name was. Look it up. We have no record of any shipment to bows Rose Roseen, nothing, so at that point it becomes yours. So I'm I'm like, listen the boxes blocking my staircase, get the box off my staircase. Well,

I need the tracking number. I'm not gonna be home to like eleven o'clock tonight. I want the box gone by tomorrow. I'm giving you my address. When you drive and gets there, he can scan the box. He'd get the tracking number. It's not my job to have the tracking number. It's not my box. It's not my box, he says, don't know what it is, right, And I'm not anymore. I said, it's your customer, you'll figure it out.

I'm already. I hadn't by the way, I hadn't wait on hold twenty three minutes to get to this guy because why because it's packing. It's packing season. We're experiencing hirer coal volumes today. Blah blah blah. Okay, I get it. So I got that bluetooth in. I'm riding in the car whatever, listen to music. Oh wait, twenty three minutes. I don't care. I get because I'm Yeah. The guy's like, I can't come pick it up. I'm giving you my address. The guys on my block every day, I get shipments

every day from Amazon. Just tell him to take the box. Just let it sit there until the next day when he makes the next delivery. The boxes were coming back. The box is already there two days because we would trying on Facebook to find the guy. The guy came and left. We had a sign on and take the box and take the box. How big was this box? I want to say it was a refrigerator dishwasher, so maybe like four and alf four and a half feet

by three feet and heavy, big box. I would have dragged it into my ambasement, cut it open and freaking yeah that's what it was. And I'm not taking no because if if it was gonna be, if you know what, because you know that the person who would belonged to was getting their free dessert. They're like, where's my fucking chip, Ben, where's my dishwashing? Not unless they hit this podcast. Okay, you know what. Maybe it was something important, you know,

and then we've gotten themselves a washer and dry. I'm a good Samaritan, so I said, no, I am chill. I'm not taking the guy's box to a point, all right. So I say to the guy, listen, I could take this box and keep it, and then you're gonna have to pay the ship another one and bed bath and be honest, screwed. I don't know who made the mistake. I don't want the box. I'm trying to do the right thing here. Come get the box without the tracking number.

Can get the box? Just give me the track number had a tracking number, I go on, I give me a supervisor. I don't think this is supervising. By the way, the guy was barely understandable. He was not from like Nebraska. So I said, look, get me a supervisor. Hold on, hold, hold, hold, no supervisor available. Get me the guy in the next ubericle. Nobody can help me, So he goes, I'll get your supervisor. After I'm yelling, yelling, yelling. This was like fifteen sixteen minutes.

I'm on the phone with this guy. You want the track number. I'm like, i'man, here's my address, Rosen Street, not coming, Hold on for a supervisor, hold on, hold on, click disconnection. You don't hang up on me. It's your box. Now I gotta called back because I'm trying to be a good person and have the way minutes so so, so I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna call back and I'm gonna rip this guy because they must have made a note to who I was on the phone with scrow this guy. So I get on the phone.

I called back. I wait, wait, wait, wait, wait another eighteen nineteen minutes. Whatever. Now I get a woman on the phone. The woman sounds like she might be from Nebraska. Oh yeah, I hit the jackpot. I tell him my story. I need the tracking number, sir. So I go through the whole thing with hard about Rose and Rose bows, the whole thing. I don't want the box. Why at my staircase? She says, no problem, we'll arrange a pickup. Oh the end of this tunnel. So yeah, So this

guy said put the guy before listen. He's being difficult by the book. Will come get the box. It's on the steps, it's in front of the steps. You can't miss it. Something you're not going for free dessert on something that had No. I just want I just want the box gone. Just that's gonna say. You know you're not okay. So I'm like, I'm flaming, man, I had you hung up on me. Just okay, sir, We'll come get the box. We're terribly sorry for inconvenience. It's our mistake.

I'm like, yeah, it is. Yeah, okay, I'm calling me that we'll come and get the box. Steak great. Do I need a confirmation number? No, it's not your box. We're gonna come get it. We'll we'll figure it out. We'll we'll work it out. Okay. The next day, I come home from work. Now, so I'm driving home. I get I get home from work. Uh, I get home for working Like it's like five six o'clock. It's night time. My wife is already gone for the day. She's out

with the kids. She's not be until nine o'clock. As I'm driving home, I'm thinking that box better be gone. I pass the ups driver. He's by, he's by the he's on the main street where I get home. To you. No, he don't wave to I see him, so I know he's probably already been on my block because he's in the other direction. Oh, Mike, fantastic. My box is gone. Goodbye. I get to my house. The boxes stuff for a house, No problem, Mr Brody. We'll come to Rose and Street

and we'll get your box. Get the box. So what do I do? I get? I turned my car around and chase him. So he makes a right on a side street with speed bumps. So now I see him up to hill. He's going up to hill with the speedbumps like so saw saw. I'm driving fast slow down, driving fast slow down. I'm hitting speed bumps, and I have in low car, you know, my my chargers now and he's in the truck hitting the speed bumps like a pro on My gona get then out of the

shift is over. It's like six o'clock at night. So I finally catch up to him by like the seventh goddamn speed bump. I pull up alongside him. He must think I'm gonna rob him at this point, because I looked like a police car in my black charger. So the windows go down. He opens the door and he and he says, can I help you? I said, yeah, you can help me. I said, I got a box in front of my house that you guys delivered from your PS and you were gonna take you I was

told you picking it up. He checks, I don't know. I don't have a pickup. I'm so sorry. Can that. I told you a lady Nebraska she told me to read a pickup with you. I saw, I saw, I says, where are you? I said, I'm on Rosin Street. Oh I was already on Rosin Street. Well you didn't pick up the box. He says. Well, I'm done for the day. But hey, what I'll swing by. I'll get the box for you. I'll take the box, no problem. I got a couple more roots around this area. I'll swing back around.

I'm like, you know what, you're a good guy. Just take the box. It's all I'm asking. Okay. Twenty minutes go by a half hour. I'm looking out my window. I can't enjoy dinner. The boxes out there. It's haunting me. Finally, I'm like the hell with this. I go to eat dinner. I did a knock on the door. It's the UPS guy. I opened the door, I said, I said, I said, so there's two pots this story. So I said, oh thank god. I said, um, thank you for remembering and for being a manny a word. He says, I can't

take the box, I said. I said it was too big. I got a bad back. I can't help you. He says, no, I can't take the box because it's FedEx song. After all that, all the phone calls and the yelling and the screaming and the supervisor, I chased him down. My wife assumed it was your PS and told me you PS to live with the box. So I'm embarrassed. I'm mortified. I'm thinking about this podcast because I was ready to I was like podcast, bitch, but now for real. So

the guy's like, I can't take it to FedEx. So I said, I I'll call FedEx. So I called my wife. I said, you know I've been dealing for two days with with you PS, right, yeah, I said, So I said, yeah, guess what, honey, it's FedEx. Oh so sorry, oh sorry, So okay, So I called FedEx. They said they know tell me sorry. Well I put I did it on the website. No problem, They're gonna call them the next day. They're gonna get it right. I come home the next day, the box is gone. Love it. FedEx got the box.

I know. I go up to five steps. There's boxes now for holiday boxes, Amazon everything. There's a box from UPS and it's a little white card tape to the top of the box, the holiday card and it says from your favorite UPS driver, Season's greetings.

That wasn't even my box. I'm gonna don't. I'm not chie. I'm gonna gi him something. He's a good guy. But now I'm out the money
