#212: Machine Gun Kelly

and so clean clean. So I bought two different pair for my work ones. I bought new fake leather ones, you know, the fake vinyl, and I also got like furry ones. They're like vlore, like the toilet seat covers. Yes, so I have vlore ear pads on my work ones, but they're so big and fluffy. I think they may be objectional. You're a better meal than because to let me know my stuffing is coming out, it's like it's like a herniated disk. Each one of my ears have

had the fluffy stuff coming out of the side. Well, it's like literally like an old Teddy bear that's gone wrong. Yeah, I saw that well, eBay and Amazon, you can get that. They're not like, I don't know anywhere from five to fifteen dollars you can get tie dyed ones. Make them funky. So I got on my on my Sonyes, my industry standardsnies that I have. Now you haven't. I haven't used them because they were shredded. They was so bad when you put them on. The little black pieces roll over

your ears, standing their hair right. So I just got I got dark blue ones, and the dark blue it stands out, it pops. I'm so happy I got headphone shamed a couple of weeks ago by Elvis. Actual by Elvis was the cheap mom. No, no, no, no no. The two of us have the same headphones, but mine are so old and tattered and raggedy. Because theap best

get those cheapest things. He's away from me. No, because it looks like it's growing a fungus and it looks like they're about to get up and walk away by themselves. Because the headphones that I have, I mean, listen, they're comfortable, they fit, they fit my head couch. That's it's it's it's like that pair of jeans that you never watch. Yeah, but you got shamed because Elvis came in like right before the show started and he sat down and like ready to go put his headphones on, and he didn't

have them because he left him in his office. So he's like scared, give me the headphones. And he started the show and he went to put your headphones on. It it was just like it was like a mangy old dog, like in a chunkyard, just awful, un bathed. It was shaggy dog. Yeah. So I just feel great. So treat yourself. If you have headphones with replaceable earphone, treat yourself. It's just loud. It's life changing. And I don't you get the echo. We had an echo last week.

Today the audio was bleeding out through the ripped up earpieces of my old head's not that's not it you today I got so I can tell I'm on the same your your brody with the good WiFi. The WiFi is not why there's an echo. The echo is because my earphones weren't covering my ears properly, so your voice was coming out my earpads back into the micro. Sure. Yeah, by the way, yeah, a little round of applause. Uh. The slices need to know a little behind the scenes. Here,

a little little peek behind the curtain. Uh, David Brody is a doctor in his spare time. Because last week, your last week, we didn't do episode to twelve. The one we're doing today. This should be to thirteen. But we're one behind them. And and shout out to all the people that were worried. Yes, thank you for following me on our safety. There was they were. They were

giving us wellness checks on social media. But if we're being completely honest, Wednesday and Thursday of last week, I felt like shit, Now I took COVID tests up my ass, right, well, I didn't take it up by I didn't take it. You didn't have a fever. I would take the COVID test in my ass because that's not gonna work. It's gonna say you don't have COVID every time. So but I I took tests stop and as it turns out,

I didn't have COVID and I still don't. But Brody on Thursday finally said, you know what, do we cancel the Thursday podcast? Yeah? He's like, dude, you're not feeling well. He goes, you got, I bet you any amount of money. It's allergies, And I'm like, what for this? I said, no, I said, it can't be so. And I said, I have a family full of people who have allergies. I do not. I'm I'm a perfect specimen. But my my

wife and kids all have allergies. So when they are off, I know it's a high something day, ragweed, heyfe whatever it is. They're allergic to. Who pays attention back again? So whoop, there it is. So so they have like they have. They each take different medicines because they'll have a different main ingredients. So we had to clarity in here and the what's the purple one? Whatever it is? Clarity by zed clarity and no is that? No it's not,

it's it's there's a couple of them anyway, doesn't matter. Don' don't tweet me about it. But there's three main companies, the green and purple one, the blue one or whatever. So I said, you know I used you know, musin x um Best Max Cold and flew all in one. You know I used that one right, hit the jingle, Hit the jingle. Now, I don't know you're talking about get the jingle, hit it hard. Hit both of them hit the jingle, you bitch what I can't use I

can't use that product. I mean, I was under the way. I felt like that was gonna be the solution. How about the part where it didn't work. Okay, they're a client of yours, and you know what, I'm particularly upset because a jingle ball. In New York in December, I sat with our account executive whose initial starts with her first initials J, and she introduced me to the the the woman who handles the account for musin X and

her daughter big fans of our show station. And I said, hey, you know what, I'm a big fan of that product. All getting aside, I said, I get sick, I get a nasal, I get a sinus infection every winter. It works for all of my nasal and I have tried other over the counter medications and sometimes they don't work. And I have found that the musen X had the pineapple flavor of the pineapple orange, which is a better

flavor than the orange. I said, So, I said, I just want to you know, not looking for an endorsement, but I love your product, even though it's a little more expensive and something you have to go to the counter. To get it whatever, it's just Oh, you'd be a great spokesperson, said yes I would, and no I'm not. So you're not getting any any slippins here unless I get a slip in. So we do have. Oh well, we'll talk about it later. So you got because what

you you recommended, and you were right. You were spot on that it was allergies. So now I'm clear. I mean, I'm still a little nasal. And how did Scary pay me back? How did Scary pay me back for saving his life? How did I pay you back for stick? Oh? I invited you out the pizza on Saturday night? No, nope, nope, nope. The the word pizza is definitely in the story. Let's let's establish it. Everyone. Take out your number two pencas write down the word pizza because there was the mention

of pizza. I was in your neighborhood and you didn't come out. Thank you, Mr Rogers. You text Scary texted me and said, hey man, I'm at blah blah blah tavern known for their pizza by the way, and we're famous. They make they make the best pizza list in New Jersey. Yeah, a few towns away from my house. Not that far I could drive it, And I said, I said, he the woods like Al Roker would say, yeah, your exact text message. I mean, I'm gonna pulp the exact message.

I don't want to miss quote it right. Let me m but we'll get all the text messages from today that I'm not I'm gonna bring up later. What are you trying to prove here? Well, first of all, you fucked up the pizza. So here's what you did. Oh and then you texted me about Yeah, you texted me about Fallon and Kimmel. I talked you about that too. Yeah. Hey, you texted me where is it? Hold On? Maybe? Yeah, just walked into the blank blank tavern? Long story. M hmmm, yeah,

I say no, I said, I just walked in yaiza. Yeah, So that was your queue to be like, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna show up. I'll be I'll be right there. Nope. So I texted back, Oh, that that's right near me. The pizza is good, the pestos excellent. Solid sausage. I wrote, solid sausage. I have the sausage, solid sausage. So I figured that was my way of saying the scary Why I really liked that place. Huh so friday night I had no plans. Huh, I saved his life earlier today, huh,

come on now? So then I waited. I waited eight minutes, and I said, you know, there's always an invite, there's always a scene at the table for you. By then. Then I wrote back, By the way, the fact that you texted me to tell me you were in my neighborhood and then didn't follow up with anything after that definitely podcast material. Piece of brick and you roll back. Oh man, I texted you thinking of you. I figured you just stopped by. Now who just stops by? Oh my, my,

my co host is in a pizza place. He's letting me know he's there, but doesn't say come. You just let me know if you get to listen. You know damn well that if you came to my neighborhood and you sat down at a place and you texted me, I would take that as a prompt that I would that you that that maybe I should drop by and see you. Because I was assumed it was Friday. I assumed it was Friday night. I assumed that okay, if he if he has free time, he'll come, but I'm

not gonna ask him to. First of all, it's rude to ask you at the last minute after I get there, But you could up somebody else. That's number one. Number two rude or not to ask me a number two, it's rude of me to just assume that you've got no plans on a Friday night and you're not with your family, you're doing something. How you fix that, You're right right here, you fix us. Hey man, I'm sure you're busy with your family, but on the odd chance you're not, or if you get some free time you

want to swing by for dessert. I love to see him, a man, but that's not what you did. You just left it and like because I have a great pizza. Who whoo? How long we know each other, Brodie, Like seventy three years? We know each other forever we are. We we've known it. So you know that you and I have a rapport. So it's not like that in our relationship. It's we have a relationship that things are

just understood. Hey man, great pizza, your neighborhood, and then the things should be and and that's your queue to be like, Okay, I'll come by or do what you did last time when I told you in your neighborhood when I was at um No you didn't know. You went and told you I was at an appearance. I was at an appearance and bankery at Calandres minutes or whatever it was. And then you showed up. I did invite you, but you showed up. You showed up because no,

you said any time having appearance. I'd love to have your brody. You told me that, you said, oh, the last time you were there, You're like, you should have come, you should have come that you did Super Bowl Sunday there and I didn't make it. And so you said any time, Well, I was making it an appearance at this pizzeria in your neighborhood. And what was the reason you could have come? Night club? What was the reason for that nightclub? But the numbers in the name was

that was the reason for that? Why are we there? Nightclub? Yeah? You know which one? When when when like a month ago, three weeks ago, you were at a nightclub. You have to go upstairs as a number in the name, right by a strip mall. You put up, you put up Instagram stories. It's right and it's not far from me again in my neck of the world. Yes, yes, yes,

you're having a great time. And then you didn The next day you're like, hey, dude, I was at this place right by your house, is right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I remember that. Yeah yeah, So that's twice now. So but you could have oh man, okay, so let me ask you that. So you don't like that music they were playing that night. It was classics night, and you would have you would have gone nuts. That's party. Listen,

you texted me, just walked into the tavern, right. That doesn't tell me you're sitting down for you gonna be there for three hours. You could be walking in to take take out pizza. You can be walking in to get a menu for next time. You can be walking in because they have a really good old video game in the front, which they do. So so you don't know why we're gonna spell it out for you after all these years. Yes, you have to go, Hey, Brody, I'm here, gonna be here for a few hours. Swing

by if you have a chance. Well, listen my treat, you say my treat. I'm there. Well, I think I got my just desserts. Um, I think I got the payback I'll tell you in a second what happened, and then you're you're gonna be very disappointed, and so will the slices. Okay, So there I was the tavern, the implied invitation to David Brody, not implied. Okay, and I fucked up. Yes you did. Now what did I say, Try the sausage, didn't try the sausage pie. I said, try the pesto, and then I said, try the pesto

and sausage solid. But that's out. What you did? Is it? Scared nold on what you did? Ricky? I ordered? I ordered the everything pizza and now this this is the once should cover their ears everyone, No, no, no, open your ears because I'm turning this a negative into a positive. Like pit Bull does. What type of did they sell them? They sell They sell bar pies round thin crust fun right, paper thin. Everyone, Everyone, open your ears because I'm gonna

use this as a public service. Yes, yes, learned from the loser. Ever ever order everything on a thin crush pie, especially when that everything and includes things like, but not limited to, onions, peppers, and mushrooms, the canned mushrooms that come and juice, which, by the way, Brody forget about all that, all that Brodie hating vegetables aside. This is a fucked up move to do on any pizza anywhere in America, even if you like those three items. And

here's why. Those three items specifically render a lot of water when heated up and cooked. So what happens is what happened was when the pie came out, even though we ordered extra crispy around the edges and in the bottom, the whole middle portion that contained said mushrooms, onions, and peppers was watery and and as floppy as shit and pizza puddle it was. It didn't cook. The middle was like almost raw and like floppy and disastrous, and it was I want to use the word moist. It was.

It was a sloppy mess. And I'm like, oh god, I'm like, I've am I a rookie. Have I never had pizza in my life? You don't do that, so you couldn't even eat it. You had to use a spoon. I know you would like to use a forking knife when you eat people the crispy thin pies. I have a picture of Scary eating artichoke pizza. Now artichokes the name of the place they were not artichokes on the pizza with a fork and a knife again last week. I will put that up in my instant story. But

it was too thick. It was too thick too, she said, t H I c C. It was too thick for me to eat, that's why. And I had to touch all the buttons on the radio station said, and press all the press all the levers. So I didn't want oily, greasy fingers, so I had to use a fork and a knife. I need to get be excused from that party. Okay, thanks, But as far as pizza goes slices, don't ever order peppers,

mushrooms and onions on a thin crust. Now, if it's a Chicago deep dish casserole, which I call them, not pizza, it's not pizza, then feel free to order all the all the vegetables you want because because it's not gonna, it's so thick it SOPs it up. But man, oh man, I feel like I need a redo and I may go back again. I mean, I mean, and you may get a text. Yeah, and I'm gonna have the sausage pizza with pesto because I told you what to get know. I funked up, fucked up? All right, So that was

your one text message. Then, uh, then Saturday morning, you wake me up with text messages. Brody did did you see kim olan Fallon? Did you see they switched jobs? They switched jobs? I said, shape fulls, they switched jobs. They switched they did each other's shows, So I said, I said, oh, well, okay, I said, that's that's great. I tape on my DVRs. I record all the late night talk shows and I watched them the next day. If I don't step to watch some of them, so

I'll watch them. Since Scary goes Kimmel did thank you notes, I said, oh, that's great, Scare, that's great. Hey, they did a couple of bits together. Okay, I'm gonna watch them side by side, including simultaneous life satellite cut ins each other. One's doing the monologues. I go, Scary, I'm gonna watch them. You don't have to tell me everything about the show. Was very excited. Well, it was very very well done. They said on the show they've been

planning twenty stop it. Stop texting me. Oh my god, they did the box thing I needed. Okay again, I by the way, I will say Kimmel made my night with one of the bits he did. So remember I've talked about this where they do, among the many bits the games that Jimmy Fallon plays, they do a bit where there's a two people sit at the table with a wall between them, and they pick a box off the shelf, a numbered boxed box of the box of lies, and so the get the celebrity guest will normally ask

the audience what numbers should I pick? And I go, why does the audience give a ship? What number they pick? Right? And then Taylor Swift finally broke tradition and just took box thirteen that's her number, and didn't care. So Kimmel gets up and they're going seven, eight, five, and he goes, I'm gonna pick whatever number I want. I'm the host. Why care what numbers you like? He just like just laid it out there, like why do you care? And why do I care what you think? They're all the same,

They're all the same boxes. So kudos to Kimmel. Now, did you have a preference? Did you prefer Kimmel doing Fallon or Fallon doing kids. Here's the problem. I only tape the Jimmy Fallon Show. I'm a huge and of the tonight so I saw Kimmel do that and he was very good. Um. And then the bits that they did together were awesome. I hear that Jimmy Fallon, who went to l a toast Kimmel show, killed he was. He crushed it and I heard he got a huge response. Um, I will I will say that. I want to see

that now. The reason Brodie I got so excited, can we go back to the original premise here, and that is is because I honestly think they win April Fool's Day hands down. Listen. There were a lot of pranks out there, including one that I'd like to talk about briefly before we move on to the one that we

that we had planned. No, No, not that one. Uh but but I really think thank you NBC and ABC for a loud because in order for these two men who are on competing networks and competing for ad dollars and guests and musical acts, for them to be able to collab together and have their two have together work in harmony to create this joke for the better better benefit of the American public. I don't want to say it's a risk, but I want to say thank you.

It's so cool that that could happen because everything is so divisive these days and everything is so it's just awesome that these two were able to do it and even planning. It's it's April twenty. It's just big change because in the seventies and eighties and nineties, there was not a camaraderie. There was Johnny Carson, and if you dared go up against him, you were dead and show business.

Joan Rivers, if you're famous comedian, she was the regular fill in for Carson anytime Carson took a day off. After many years used to be let Himan, would fill in different people, but at some point Joan Rivers became the fill in for the Tonight Show whenever Johnny Carson would take off. Right nowadays, when they take off, they just put reruns on, but back in the day, because it was such a money making thing, they would have

a guest host come in. It was always Joan Rivers. Well, Johnny not yet not ready to retire, and Joan Rivers was off at a chance to host her own show. I believe, I believe it was on Fox when Fox five first became a Fox five when Fox TV first became a network in the late eighties, and they gave Joan Rivers her own show and at that point, even though it failed after a year, maybe whatever it was, Johnny Carson never talked to her again. She was dead

to him, dead dead to me. When Leno and let Himan had to fight over who was gonna take over the Tonight Show after Carson left, Carson and let Himan didn't talk forever. You're dead to me, You're dead. That was a war, famous Late Night Wars books written now like real nastiness. Right now, Colbert goes on Fallon Fallon does a crossover screen time with Colbert. They both loved Kimmel Fallon show. Yes, Seth Mars has done some stuff with with James Cordon. They all they were all Trevor

no against It feels like they're all. Everything's in harmony, but they all love each other. They've done so was they did an episode where they were all on the same time. They all did like they all signed on the same thing for Earth Day maybe when there and there was one thing that they do some things because Conan did a thing with them at the same time. You don't see that. We don't see people working together to do a funny joke like that, and you just

don't see it. So that wass a go on our competitives. Morning Show and Switch stations never do that because we're still their listeners. But still, but how cool is it that they That's why Brodie, I was so excited and I was texting you like a little puppy dog, right, but you were trying to everything I was. I was like trying to hump a leg and then he scratched the side of his face. You gotta see it, like

I'll see it. I'll see. But the one, the one practical joke that I gotta tell you about that I gotta say that I didn't think it was a big deal, but I was like, oh no, it was the one that I played on my girlfriend. It was the one that I that I forwarded to her, and that was that there was a very big There was a very big one out there about the Northern lights, which is those green light that dart across the sky that you could only see in like up in n very North Iceland, Norway.

And my granlfriend's been wanting to go up there and do a trip during the Northern light season because it only appears during a certain part of the year. I'm not gonna say any details yet because we're not allowed, but you may have that chance soon maybe real Yeah, okay, maybe all right. Anyway, So so with that said, um, this article came out and said, for the first time ever in fifty fifty four years, the Northern Lance, she

was able to be seen in New York. And so I said it to my girlfriend and her response was she started crying, crying with crying with happiness. Here's a joy that this thing, that her one bucket list item that she's been wanting her entire life. She's gonna be able to see the Northern Lights on this one special night. And she's like, oh my god, let's let's go get a hotel room in this city with a great view, and let's let's go there and we'll make a weekend.

And then and she tells her friend, her best friend, and then she texts her backs, Oh my god, I'm gonna go sit outside. I got lounge chairs. I don't care how cold it is. I'm gonna put some food up and I'm gonna sit out. I'm gonna make a whole night of him gonna light some can It was a practical joke. It was in April, fools. You can't see the northern lights from this latitude. It's a physical possibility. Yeah you you you that's not so Now I feel like a ship ahead. So you know what you should

have said, Oh honey, I'm so sorry. I thought you were smarter than that. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well back queen to dress one more April Fools, because even though I saw it coming, it was my favorite. Well it was my favorite on social media. Um, and we may have him on the show. So meals by couge. That's cu g short for cousin, which means cousin. But in our neighborhood it meant like, you know, the guys with

the muscle T shirt, the sleeveless T shirt. Then there was the they were the before the Guido saw a Saturday night fever, the guys who were like, we're in the they we called them guinea ta s. It was the they call him wife beaters. I'm not saying that that's what they called him. So it was the you know, the sleeveless on the shirts, the gold chains, the perfect hair,

you called the guy at Coushine. He had like a call with a great forty speakers in his call with fifteen amps and black windows, drive up and down the avenue looking for girls playing his radio, like, hey, look at those cousins over there. It was like, hey, look at the Italian kids hanging out. But you don't have to be Italian. He's the guy when he looks like he looks like the look he does not look like. It doesn't fit the part of looking or talking. He talks,

but he doesn't look. He's a he's so thin and he's got long, stringy hair. He did a mustache. He sort of looks like he should be like a kiss concert in the seventies, right, he does the seventies looking hairstop. But he's hilarious. He actually lives the lifestyle, eats the food, and talks the language. So we love him and he's he's obviously a huge star on TikTok and he's blowing

up on Instagram. But what he's known for, in addition to being funny and insulting your sister, is he's a I like to think of he would like to think of himself as an expert in a ficionado on Italian food and good sam witches. And I say, he does go to some great places, and it makes me. He makes me want to go to those spots after he goes to He did a review and uh, he was talking about, this is the best chicken palm I've ever had.

The marinara is fantastic. Oh my god. Now he gives he rates the food on a scale of one to five. Mud Owns like mons like, but he he when he likes it more than five, he'll go like when Scary goes, oh my god, he's he's going above the top of the limit to show you he means it. Even so he'll go, I give this nine out of five. Mud Owns. That means even though I'm only going up to five, it's so good, I'm giving you nine. He gave it

like fifteen mud Owns. Never does. He was because people listen to me, this is the chicken palm is melting your mouth. It's fantastic. He was reviewing Olive Garden. Now there's no way this Italian guy from New York who's in a fish sionado if you like it to Olive Garden, it's fine. It's like like in Dominoes. It's not peze, but it's something and it's if you're in the mood for it, it's good. It fills your stomach. There are times alait Dominoes and go this is this is good

at they have their artisanal line of pizza. All right, it's all right, the sauce a little something, but it's not bad. But again it's on a conveyor belt, so it just has a different consistency. But that being said, Olive Garden is not your classic Italian food. But if you like it, god bless you. But it's not like what Italians are gonna go like when the commercial like friends are here from the old Country, nobody's coming from Italy and olive Goden, they'll slap you in the head.

So it was very funny. It was an Apri Fol's joke. At then he goes he Apri Fool's. That was funny to me. That was to me, that was a good Apri Fools joke. Um. But that being said, I do have I do have to call you out a one more texting call. We're still we're still on this Okay, where was this morning? Scary had some big news for me. That that it was about a friend of ours who had some good news he wanted to share with me. And he knows I nap every day when the show's over,

I take a nap, like ten thirty. We're off the day air ten. I'm working from home at the moment, and I'm not sleeping. Well, I go to bed like two in the morning. So I take a nap for a few hours every day. Same time. A couple of days ago, I said, you know, my daughter is in town. She's in she's in Europe. She lives in Europe right now. She went tore to study. Uh she went there for a master's degree. And she's home for the week. And uh, you know, my wife's at work. So I'm entertaining her

every afternoon. So she's like, oh, let's go to Starbucks. Oh I have a great Starbucks story coming up. Let's go to Starbucks. Take me to duncan. Hey, can we go get some some lunch. So my naps are gone all week. Today was my first day of nap. My daughter flew back to Europe last night. I'll tell you what happened at her at the airport. At some point, um and so I laid down for my nap today. I got the dogs. I got my nap with the

sleeping beauty. Weren't you. I took my jeans off in bed, I put on some YouTube videos about Moon Night, my new favorite show at the moment, and I went to bed. And then not that long after, I was sleeping and I and listen, don't tweet me about you can turn your ringer off. You can turn I know that. But I have it where my favorite people, if they call me a number of times, it'll ring, it'll vibrate, because I know that some people in emergency have to reach me.

Your favorite people on Scary in my favorites list because I call and text him a lot, and I know if if I was late for work, he would call me in the morning to wake me up. So I leave him on that protected list. That's a mistake, and you're no longer in that protected list. Scary. Let me look at my phone. Scary called me at one and then he must have gotten discouraged because he waited until one thirty two. I had to wake you up. I knew you were sleeping. I wanted to wake up. He

didn't care, so he kept quite. Also wanted to see if we could do the podcast early. He's selfish, prick, honestly, honestly, I was like, you know what my caller is for twofold? You know? So, yes, I was. There were dual reasons for the number. One was to give you that news. The second was like, oh, by the way, while you're wide awake, right now, let's do the podcast. Yeah, so he knew I was extra time. I didn't give a shit about waking me up, and then wanted me to

to function like a human being. And you guys know, I have an app on my phone because I have an Android allows me to do that. It's a reminder app, so when you miss a phone call, when you miss a phone call or text message, I have it set to constantly remind me so I don't miss it eventually like you missed it. So my missed calls from Scary kept vibrating over and it's like the alarm clock, you

can't hit snooze. So I had to function again and turn off the reminder app because Scary wouldn't stop calling. And it was not news that couldn't have waited until I woke up. It was just something he wanted to But now I find out. He just wanted to do the podcast. There is that. Yeah, Yeah, we have a big moment coming up later in the podcast. This is one of those things that I'm gonna tease. But we have scary you have when your big boy pants. We

have the return of Katie Babs. Katie Blabs ever a bloody randomly I got audio that that really sheds a light on some random audio we've already played on the podcast. So it's a Katie Babs update. So okay, good now, you there were some other things that you were on your list you want to we wanted to get to I tease this and didn't get to it. I told you guys a couple of weeks ago that I got locked out of my car at the garage, right. I told you I left the key. I got back too

late and I couldn't get into my car. So when I got in, there's a code. There's an access code, like a multi digit code on the keypad. I got in, I saw my car sitting there and it's all locked up. Now, my car is a Dodge Charger, and one of the anti anti devices they have is that if your keys are in the car, the doors won't lock, right, I have that on my car too, up so the doors are locked, which means my keys are not in the

car now. As a refresher from last episode, the afternoon attendant who's there until eleven PM, said I'm leaving it eleven and I said, I'll be back like so when I got back, he was gone. Now they have a little office. It's a rectangular office along the wall, like they just they built like three little walls up against the concrete slab of the building and they put a door there and it's got windows and in there. I've been in there, have walked in and said, you know,

talk to the guys. And they have like a long cabinet with drawers and a TV and a shelf with cable box. So is that where they keep the keys? Well, you know most of these places have like that little box with the hooks and they have all the keys hanging up. So I'm like, all right, no big deal. I'll just go and get my fab out of the little box. Got to help me. Hopefully the doors open so the door's not locked to the little office. You're saying,

there's a chance, because I'm like, it's eleven o'clock. I'm in panic mode. So I walk in. The little box has one key in it and it's not mine. I go, so what do I do? Uh? I start looking around and I see there's that round dome. It's redundant, but there's a dome in the corner the security camera, the tinted glass in the corner above the cable box in the top shelf there, and I so I know it's on me. Oh my, oh, I gotta do something if my key is in the drawer. So I look at

I look on the top shelf. I get on top of the chair. It's like one of those rocking leather chairs that you can sit back in, so I have to like steady myself because the chairs tilting. So I'm I'm a mess. I'm struggling. I'm like this camera is on me as I'm struggling the balance on the chair to see if maybe they stashed it on the very top shelf that you can't see. So I'm like risking my life. It's not up there. So I come back down. I start going through the drawers, paper towels, paper plates,

catch your packages. I find it all with money, just some fives and singles. I guess in case they need to change. I would never touch your money. I go in the cabinets. I'm going everywhere. There's a safe in the corner that has one of these, like you could drop it in and turn the big big wheel and it turns to the opening, faces down and it drops everything in. I look in there. There's no key. I'm like, if the key is in there, I'm fun because this

is giant safe metal, you know. Okay, So I walk around, I'm looking. I look. I look in the lockers in the back and I hang their shirts. They don't lock them. Are you taking this real time, through this entire process. Yeah? Now no, it's eleven. I go back and look at all the drawers again that I've looked in six times, as if something's gonna change now. I start calling phone numbers that are on the wall post it notes that look like guys who could like one of them says

like Olivier. I'm like, he sounds like the I think I remember him. He filled in once. I call him. It's eleven five, no answer. Then I called Dmitri, like I think he filled in once. These are all the filling guys, but the guy who works there his numbers not on the wall. So I'm calling everybody. I call. One guy goes, hey, what it is? I? Uh, yeah, is this? Uh? Is this Paco? He goes yeah, I go, this is the garage calling. Uh do you know what the keys are? I hadn't work there in seven mont Scout.

I don't have call made. It's light hung up. Po's not happy, so I'm out of luck. So now Raoul guy, he's the regular guy. He's that guy, the regular guy who works afternoons, used to have mornings, night, works afternoons. I have his phone number. This whole time, forty five minutes, I'm texting him, texting him please, I need your help. That he's the kind of guyho likes to like bang women on the weekends. So I'm thinking, like, it's a late Thursday night. Maybe he's on a date, you know.

So I'm like, please put it back in your pants and need your help. I'm texting him, calling him. I call the main number for the parking people and I say, hey, UM says press three if it's an emergency. So I press three and I leave a message and I said, the supervisor will call you back immediately. I called eleven times left messages for no but no supervisor called me. So now I call my house. My family is sleeping, they're not waking up. Apparently I'm not on their spe

show list because their phone is not ringing. I have no way to get home. If I take an uber home, it's like eighty bucks, and then I gotta take it uber back it's another eighty bucks. So I'm like, I'm gonna sleep at the radio station. I'm gonna have to sleep at the radio station. And why is that a bad thing? Because because I want to go home all right, but you couldn't. So so okay, what happened? So um if there's a video of me climbing all over? So I go back. I climb up on the shelf again.

I'm looking at the drawers again. Finally Raoul calls me back at twelve forty two. I had been calling him for hour and a half. No, I got there eleven. He goes, what he does? I go, hey, man, where are the keys? I can't. I'm I'm locked. I tell the story. I'm like, I went through your locker. I went in the refrigerator. So he says, Okay, here's what you gotta do, and he gives me a nine step procedure of how many steps, how many paces. I'm actually

happy about this. It shows that they really care about our cars and they're secure. Right. Well, they could have just put it in the box and locked it in the closet there with the little but nope, they put them in and in a locked security bag inside a thing, in another thing, behind a thing. I had to move a thing. You'd never find it good, never good. I like that. That makes me feel better. So yes, so

very secure, but scary. I gotta I was like a like a like a burglar, going through the drawers like like a mouse, like scratching in the drawer, lifting up napkins. You've got your keys and you went home. What time do you get on the quarter after one? No, I get host. So now I have to take the Holland Tunnel to get home. With the tunnel in Lower Manhattan it was closed for construction. Of course, it was you

to go all the way around. Yes, because now it's one thirty in the morning, that's about minutes out of the way. Yep. I had to go north to the Lincoln Tunnel and then south back and then west again. Oh I got I got home around two o'clock in the morning, hanging off for work at five HAPs and me, yeah, oh, shout out. By the way of this Friday, April eighth. Do you know what that is, Bertie, My family has been celebrating this holiday since I was a little kid.

It's but not a day national impena a day on Friday's right, April eight, and we hope that you're gonna be celebrating with us. Well, you know, we love to support local. That's who the Brooklyn Boys are, and we like and we love Brooklyn. So about a year and a half, two years ago, Bertie, maybe a little bit right before the bandem about that. Yep, you're absolutely right. Um, our friends at Empanada City came up to the radio station because they're fans of the show. Yeah, yeah, because

they love the show. This is a mom and pop place from Brooklyn. They brought up the best empanadas I've ever had. I mean I've ever sung my teeth into. And not just of the regular shredded beef or the chicken variety we're talking about. We're talking about on flavors of of of of empanadas. Well, you know what we're going with this in honor of Empanada National Empanada Day, and now the pandemics being you know, it's pretty much

hopefully in the rear view for most of us. The Eponata city people are deciding to celebrate with us on this Brooklyn Boys podcast, and they're celebrating with us on the radio stations You and hundred in New York by bringing up Banata's up. And I gotta say, they sent us a few boxers in advance, and oh my god, well, you know me, I'm a pickie eater. They they said, they said, Brody, They sent me both of us email they said, pick out the flavors you want and we'll

ship them to your house. Well, wait a second, and we were like, wait, you guys have a brick and mortar that they're they're in Prospect and left left the Prospect Lefforge Gardens and Bushwick and right that's where they are. That's their brick and mortar. Now, why would we talk about a local Brooklyn place to your national national podcast. We'll tell them, Brody, Well, because now they ship anywhere you live, which they proved by shipping it to my house and the Scary's house and let me let me

tell you what I got. And and by the way, one of the things I like is that they make these fresh every day. And I thought I thought I had them. I'm gonna tell you what. I thought I had them, and I didn't have them. I thought I caught them in somethinghere. I was like, oh, I have an idea to make you better, and they're like, oh, yeah, we have one better than you. So I'll tell you but I got. I ordered the Chicken, which is chicken, tomato, bacon,

and Monterey Jack cheese. Alright, not just shredded chicken, all right? Checking pizza, I got the Pello no brainer. Here, I got Pizzazza. I got the pizza Burger one too, which is ground beef, tomato, sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Hello, but what's what's the winner? Bro? All hold on, I'm gonna I'm doing him in order, all right? I got the rope of V, which is a standard flank steak, peppers and onions in a red sauce. Now you know me, I don't like vegetables. The peppers and onions are meant

so small that they just have a flavor. Oh my god, I pulled a taco sauce on I know it's taco sauce on opanada, but then hold on, I got the pest alone. I hope I'm saying that right, ground beef, sweet plantains and mozzarella cheese. Hello, But that's not my problem, Scary, what told you what the problem was. I have such a problem with the last one I that I emailed them and asked them how I can cook the food faster.

It's the smack and cheese s m a c apostrophe and chicken, spicy red hot chicken breast smoothing in our homemade mac and cheese. It's it's chicken and let me say it again, and spicy mac and cheese and an empanada inside the eponata. Guys, this is all, all of this, all this goodness is going on inside the shell of an impanata. This isn't These aren't main entree courses. This is the all this stuff we're mentioning is inside each emponata. And that is the beauty of this and and there.

They don't do the mass produced thing. They are made fresh every single day, and then they ship you nationwide. So these are these are Puerto Rican and Dominican uh, you know, flavors and authentic. I've been to Puerto Rico and I've been to the Dominican Republic. We had empanadas at the hotels we stayed at. Not this good, not as good, not a shot. So they pride themselves on their authentic blends of meats, cheeses, vegetables, their fruit, the

fulfilled that you can have for dessert. And they're gonna put up pictures of my stuff. Oh so let me tell you. Let me tell you why I so, I asked him. I said, hey, I have to wait. It was like, I don't know, thirteen fourteen minutes, you know, to heat them up from what if they shipped into me? Yes, And after I had the first batch, I got like anxiety waiting for them. I said, can I put them in my f friar? They said, you know what, We've never done that. Hold on. They got back to me

in an hour, and they sent me pictures. They go ten minutes at three fifty, I think is what they told them at three in ten or eleven minutes. I kind of want to end this podcast right now because I'm gonna go to my freezer and and and make a few because they're so freaking good. I'm salivating. I had the smack and cheese for lunch today in anticipation of us talking about exactly So he's what we want

but delicious. I'll tell you what sounds wrong. So um, I needed um one of my kids needed to see a doctor, nothing serious, and I was like, okay, but it wasn't a doctor we already had, so like I called the place and in the title, right in the title, it was like blah blah blah blah blah blah town immediate Care. When you call, the message says, all representatives are currently busy. Please leave a message and we'll get back too as soon as possible. Immediate care. The name

is immediate care. Wait, the name is immediate care. But they're doing the opposite. Yes, when you call them, they say all representatives are currently busy. How is I immediate? Not immediate? Not immediate, But yet they claimed to be immediate. By the way, you have audio playing in your I don't know what that is. I hear it is or is that is the voices in your head? They finally got to you. No, you know what. I don't know what that is. Let me check. They're saying, be humble, brody,

don't complain about for you doom ha ha ha. Well I'm gonna complain about Starbucks in a minute that I'm absolutely good going on in your I don't know what that is, scaring the hell out of it. I have a lot of browsers open, so it could be anything. Let me see how close this one. Okay. Well, as you were saying, yeah, so, um, I was claiming about Starbucks, we're gonna go We're gonna play some sound here. But okay, do you want to do sound? Yeah? We were in

between things, so it's a big deal. So let me let me make sure that i'm anything open here that I can I got this. You know my equipment. It's not my equipment, sucking up, No, it's not my equipment. I had a browser open. It's ok So, um, let me look at the sound list because I want to do him in order. We have, as I said, the return of Katie Babs Katie Blabs of the House. But I want to get to the other audio because I want to save with Katie Babs to the end of

this segment. So let's let's me look at the list. Let's play. Um, you have the Adam Project. Okay. So The Adam Project is a great movie, um with Ryan Reynolds. And in the movie, he loses his girlfriend, uh, and then he finds her again. So listen to what she says and listen to his response. That makes it doesn't fit with what she said to be anymore. I can't even so she says she says, I got used to being alone, and he says, not anymore to anymore. That

doesn't doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense at all. Right, he said he should have said, you're not alone anymore. But she goes, I got used to be alone. He goes, not anymore. So does that mean she's no longer no longer used to be alone? Right? That that's pretty bad. Um, I don't remember what the what the comedy here? Oh? You have music to my ears? I do? Okay. So this is a broadcaster for the Los Angeles Angels and somebody says something to him and then he responds with

music to my ears. But listen to what he's saying. Go ahead? Fun is it to Mike trad Out? There a lot of fun man music to my ears? Wait? What how you're talking about a visual thing? Right? How how fun is it to see Mike Trout playing? Well, he will right to see him playing its music to my ears? But he's probably commenting on the news of Mike Trout that he heard what was said to him. Play it again? Is it to see Mike Trout? There a lot of fun man music to my ears? It's

how fun? Is it? To see him. Yeah, I know, but I gotta give him a pass on this. You're dead to me, but I gotta give him a pass on this because I know what he meant. Yeah, I know what he meant. I recognize it's a foul. But okay, uh play this clip and I'll explain why it's wrong because I don't remember before him. But Bruce Willis or Bruce Willis will step away from his film career after

being diagnosed with ala facia. According to his family, alla facia. Yeah, that wrong, No, he has alla facia now remember, so he has alla facia. That's correct. Now play the clip of them talking about Jada Pinkett Smith. Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has began disciplinary proceedings against actor Will Smith after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars. The Academy says Smith refused to leave the ceremony after

the slap, bargaining joked about Smith's wife, JOHNA. Pickett Smith, referencing her shaved head. Pickett Smith suffers from alopecia disease, causing hair loss. Alopecia. Right, so, so Bruce Willis has alapacia and Jada Pickett has alopecia, right, but I haven't, So where's the error. I'm trying to hold on a second. No, I hold on a second. I'm trying to remember what that I think he said, Um oh, maybe another clip

I didn't send you. Uh yeah about that? Yeah, okay, but but I wanted you also to hear that he sounds drunk at the beginning that listen because he called stuffs and sciences as began to disciplinary discipline and then he said Jada wrong. So I'm sorry. There was a third clip I didn't send you. Um, let's get to Katie Babs because that is my favorite clip. Um remember the original one which I sent you this week, and because you didn't have, we talked about In this clip,

she's trying to be too cool. She's talking about whatever awards shows she was talking about, and how I want you to listen to who they nominated in the rock category that she was offended by and she was like, I'm so cool, they're not listen. This is the follow up. This is the first ever clip not don't play Katie Beast play the original where she's complaining about people who

shouldn't have been nominated. All right, you know how five Finger Death Punch are nominated for Billboard Music Award for Top Rock Artists. I didn't know who else was nominated, so I went and looked, and this makes little to no sense. But what do you expect from the Billboard Music world. The only band that makes sense in this category is a C d C. Otherwise you have twenty one Pilots and Machine Gun Kelly. They are not rock artists. People, Oh man, what are they thinking? Oh man, what are

they thinking? Because remember remember she's too cool for the room, right, So she's wants to poke fun at the main stream rock artists because because, as as she pointed out, because she's Kelly and Pilots, she's Kelly and not rock her. So like ECDC used to rock, thus rock, rock in your face stage and get fucking blow jobs, fucking bitches in the corner, racks rock. That's real rock. Kelly, He's not real rock, you know. So this is why I hate her and people like her, because she's gonna call

everything posers. But I cann't Brodie. I didn't even hear the clip we're about to play, but I know exactly what's coming, So um, go ahead and play the clip of her this weekend. Now, I want you to stop it after she names the names because the second part of the clip I want to pick on her for something else. But go ahead and listen to her her talking this week Here we go. Always a solid way to start off our Sunday Night Octane. A couple of

You also heard from Future Palace and air It's but it's Katie, Babs. I'm hanging out with you for the rest of the night. And guess what, I'm not hung over from Las Vegas because I got one of those liquid I V s put in my

arm and that ship works, man works. I was getting wasted, right, but I put this I V in my arm. By the way, where else would you put the I V in your fucking eyeball? I put the I V in my arm, man, because I'm fucking crazy like that, right, And I didn't get hungover because I'm fucking rad machine gun Yeah yeah, So take that needle shoving your arm. Man to be a rocker, Yeah, go board. She's Canadian, right, yeah? Yeah? Yeah? How about in the two weeks from now? Yeah, I'm

gonna see Machine Gun Kelly in it tonight. He's gonna rock. I can't wait. He's gonna rock. Keep in mind, I randomly glass animals. Yeah, I randomly listened to her, like, you know, it's not every day like I turned on that station. The fact that I got two clips about machine Gun Kelly in the past year fantastic. That's great. It all right? So I have Ziggy. Oh, I'm having a problem with so um, the the the A L E X A. Right, you can rename it ziggy. You

can rename it now you have other names. So I I renamed one of mine Ziggy so that the other ones don't hear me calling it ziggy. So I was having a problem. I think in this clip, I'm trying to get it to snooze. I think, so go ahead and play the clip. Hey, Zeggy, what time is my alarm set for tonight? Let stop it? He was like, okay, So I said, an alarm for a certain time, all right? To get up from my nap. And in order to change the alarm, you have to say, hey, Ziggy, um,

change my eleven forty five am alarm to right. You have to know the time of the alarm, otherwise you can You can't just say change the alarm. I have So I didn't remember what time it was, so I asked it what time I had and then tried to change it. So listen to it telling me I don't have an alarm at the same time as it's telling me I do. Go ahead and play the clip. Hey Ziggy, what time is my alarm set for tonight? Hey Ziggy? What time is my alarm time? Your alarm is set

for ten p m? Hey Ziggy, change my ten fifty eight alarm to ten twenty pm. You don't have any alarm set for ten fifty eight the ziggy, what time is my alarm set for? You have two alarms ten fifty eight pm and every weekday at two twenty pm. So Ziggy is confused. He's zig zagging. Uh. So you know what it was. And I took a nap. I wanted to take a nap late, I think because my daughter was was up and I was like, you know, I gotta take a nap. I'm exhausted, but I'll wake

up at like eleven o'clock or ten twenty. So because it was maybe it was Saturday, I think it was Saturday, so I was like, it's not late. I'll take it out a nap from like nine thirty to ten thirty whatever, but I had made it for ten fifty eight earlier in the day, so I wanted I was like, oh, what time is my alarm? Ten fifty eight changed my ten ft you don't have one. You don't have one. You don't have one. The funk out of here. By the way, why why do you call ziggy ziggy? Like?

Why did you? Because the options were A L E X A. Yeah, I think Amazon, right or Ziggy? You could name it whatever you want. No, you think I would pick Ziggy. I think, hey, assholes, set my alarm. But no, you think you could do that competing manufacture that you can do that? Maybe maybe the Google Home lets you do that. I don't know. That would be so much fun if they could. I wonder if the Apple one you could do it? Ash what's the weather right? Right?

But you can't do that Amazon. I told you, Amazon is the one that doesn't save vagina. It still doesn't save vagina. Yep, it says penis all you want. It won't save vagina. That's sex that's sexist. It is sexist. I tried to get Elvist to play the clips on the air, explain it to him, but he's like, why would they play. They still to this day that can't be. If you say, if you I told you, if you say sign and says kiss my my penis, it'll say kiss my penis. Simons says kiss my vagina, it'll say

kiss my book. Or it won't say it at all if you ask, if you ask the sexual private part of a male, let's say a penis, it won't say vagina. It won't like that one bit. And I had I tweeted this had a tremendous problem with my phone. I was trying to prove to somebody, um that asterisk is spelled asterisk a s D E R I s K right risk at the end, not asterick. And so I said, look, I'll prove it to you. And I took my phone out and I said, uh, what is the definition of asterik?

And it doesn't. It won't give it to you because it keeps using the symbol, and then it gives you the word of it, like the definition of what it gives you. And if I say give me the word asterisk, it gives me a definition of the word word. And so would not I could not use a combination of words that would give me the definition and so I put that out on Twitter, and people were going, oh my god, I want I said, you're gonna want to

punch your phone. Now. A couple of people with iPhones didn't have the problem because whatever the framework of Google on iPhones, I guess works differently. But I didn't use Bixby or Siri, just the regular Google microphone, and it would not give me that you couldn't speak it. It was a nightmare. I such a nightmare. I mean, wow, do you have the type of problems that we have. Well, you know I always tell you I voiced text. So we had two people who claimed to have voice texted

in this week. Remember I told you people listening right now that wish they had these problems. Well, I have other problems. I'll get to those. Remember I told you somebody texted and Gobby. They put like an H and a B in Gandhi's name in the wrong. There's no be in her name. They're like, oh, I his voice texting. I'm like, there's no way Gobby was voice texted. So somebody texted and we were playing the audio of you

chewing on the radio, and so somebody texted in. I had to turn down the volume on the radio, I have misopenia m E s O p h E n I A misopenia. Now the real word is missonia, which is m I M M I s O no No, they wrote back. So then they texted again. They said, I have misophobia m I s O p h O b I A Right now it's misoponia phone meaning like to hear like phonograph, right, miss pona. But there's no way you can get your voice text to write misopenia

or misophobia. They they're not words. Sorry. More people are lying using the old voice text as the excuse. And then one person wrote in, we were talking about people who can read minds and have psychic powers, and they said you should contact my mother. She's a median. M E D I am okay, but these are mis misheard words. I get it. Listen, I'm not saying that there. It's a smart smart You can't say your mother's a medium and they call our medium. It's the boy podcast man

time flies. When we're being too nitpicky nitwitch. Um, that was my major in high school. What are you talking about? Being a nitpicky knitwitch? We are we are we we we we a part everything. Well, did I tell you that Facebook thinks I wanted to kill myself. How well, look, you know I would never do that. I feel like I'm a pretty happy person. I would and I listen, people have taken their own lives for different reasons, and I I personally, I am using the term kill myself

for this story. I know living with suit at least, I don't want to get into that for this story. I'm telling you Facebook thinks I was gonna kill myself. Okay, so they flagged a post I made, I want to say, a couple of years ago. At this point, it's not political. It was humorous at the time. It's a cartoon of former President Trump drinking out of a giant bottle of Clorox bleach, and you know what the joke was. I

don't have to get into it. But two years ago was funny and I think I posted it and some people like, ah, I don't know why two years later I get flagged for it. It says this post was deleted because it violates our self harm clause and if you have thoughts of suicide, we would like you to reach out to here's a link people you could go. So somehow my picture of of a joke of a

person drinking out of a Clorox bottle two years ago. Um, I m somehow flagged my account on your account that I'm thinking of taking my own life by drinking the suicide hotline. Yes, please talk to somebody. Was a whole thing like if if the times are bad, you know you need to consult someone and get The really scary part of this whole story is it took them two years. Thank you, because you would have been exactly You would

have long gone by. It should have said, hey, in case you didn't take your own life two years ago from drinking bleach in a cartoon you posted like, I don't know what okay if if they have some algorithm that scans images, right, if I had like a razor blade and the wrist, I get that, But I would imagine this particular image was posted millions of times million. It's a cartoon of a cartoon president drinking a cartoon bottle.

It's there's okay, So somebody who doesn't know the joke had to actually see it and determine that that's somebody a human. Those aren't robots. That somebody determined that because I posted it two years ago as a joke that I was thinking of poisoning myself, poisoning myself. I just want you to know, um that I'm okay Facebook, I am. I am okay, and I'm happy with my life and I'm okay. But boy, imagine that a two year old meme and like you said, it took him two years.

So I hope the people in your life, if you're feeling down, I hope they reach out to you. And by the way, if you if you ever like um uh, post a picture of the cat hanging from the rope that's just hanging their baby. I hope they don't flag you as thinking you might hang yourself. Yes, that could happen. I mean yeah, I try and stay within the boundaries of their terms of surface. And you know they flagged me. Uh, dumb license plate, married a dumb license plate to you? Oh,

I saw a dumb license plate last Saturday night. What did you say? It's so appropriate for the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Okay, I was in I was in Bergen County at a Greek restaurant bar, you know the type of place where they have the dinners and then the fancy turn up with the DJ after they told napkins everywhere, and yeah, even though it was, you know, a very Italian place, I'm sorry Italian clientele. There was a BMW and I put it on my Instagram story at the time, and

it said mana gott. The license plate said M A N I C O T manic Now that is not not Manicotti nor Managot, because if you really wanted to lean into it, you would have said m A N I g ot like man right. If you're gonna be bad, b all the way, bad all the way right, don't be halfway back, Yeah, because otherwise the correct spelling would have been Manicotti, m A N I C O T t I. So this person is trying to be a real Ginzo, like a real Italian, but Manicott. I just

found that funny. So I'm driving behind a car yesterday. It's a Ford Titanium. Thank you, see for titanium. Now, when you have a custom plate, you might put something funny about your last name, like work your last name into it, like the broad mobile. Right, you might put something funny like that says too fast for you, like something cool. Right, you want to make abbreviations like or like Darth Vader, but spell it with letters and numbers because you have a black car, or like Batman, like

we'll do something cool. This person has a titanium and their license plate was T T M edge that a Ford edge titanium T T M yep for titanium and in the word edge they put the type of their car on the license plate. Why would you do that? Asks I know what kind of car you have because right under it it says titanium edge on the car. Is that in case your license plate gets lost and you want to be like no, no, not not Look

it goes right here. Like your animals where you match the giraffe shirt to the giraff pants, I have to match my plate to the car. It was the dumbest use, in my opinion, that I've seen in a while now. If you have like a v W bug license plate on a v W Bug, they should say like buggy or like bugging out like it should be something clever. It shouldn't be the name of a car, like charger. If I play my like like C H A R G R stupid, I have a charger. I think you

know I have a charger. Yeah, because you're staring at it right now if I make my license plate rolls Royce and I drive like a shitty car, hilarious, hilarious. But like, I gotta tell you what kind of car I have on my license plate? And you pay for that. That's not free. Yeah, that's called a vanity plate. You would you pay six bucks or something whatever it is to have a vanity plate so you can tell people what kind of car they already know you have. Hello, lady, huh,

what what do you have? Because I want to tell you about Starbucks, but I want you to go first. You know, I'm I'm good because we're almost at a time, so I wanted you to tell your star So I'll tell my Starbucks story to the two store Starbucks drive throughs that we went to on Starbucks not a client, not a client Monday. So my daughter's I got let's go to Starbucks. M guy, I will you know, we'll

go to the one on the main road right there. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna call it out Eisenhower Parkway in Uh, it's either in East Hanover. It's south of Roselands, East Hanover, New Jersey. By the turning circle, there's a Starbucks drive through Okay, I don't know the manager's name, but I can assure you they're getting a funck you at the

end of the story. So we we pull into the drive through and it's one of these we have to like drive forward, make a left, and then when you because so you're on the back side of the restaurant. The drive through is where the microphone is and the menu. So we pull in and with a second car, and the car in front of me is sitting there a long time. I figured they must be making a complicated order. So I'm sitting there. I'm like getting a little in patient.

My daughters like, what the hell was taken getting in patient? No, no, you know, I was there three seconds. I was already upset. So events you, after like seven or eight minutes, the car pulls around. You pull around. Now, the other third side of the building is where the window is. So the right side is where you enter the drive through, the back side is the menu and the if you're facing Starbucks, the left side is where the pickup window is. You have to go side side side. So they drive around.

I pull up and I'm sitting there again. Five minute. Hello nobody says hello, Hello, this is Hello, it's Monday. It's like two o'clock in the afternoon. Again my naptime I didn't get and I'm sitting there. So I said to my daughter, can I blow the horn? No, Dad, you can't blow the horn. So embarrassing because you know me, I'll be like hello. So I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. I said, you know what, funk this? I'm not now. I was like, I was ready to back out this like four cars behind.

Of course I can see them, right, So I was like, you know what, let me just maybe maybe the microphone's broken and they didn't put a sign that it's broken whatever, or maybe they're busy. I don't know, but let's drive around to the pickup window and we'll order there. Good idea, Dad, That is a great idea. I know I would do the same thing. So I pull around and it's pitch

black inside. Nobody's in there, and there's a there's a printed out gray and white, black and white sign with every day of the week and it says new store hours Monday closed. Wow on a Monday. No, but that's not the point. Wait a second sign up at the drive through. They don't right, but they put it up. They don't block the drive through. They don't put a sign on the menu or the microphone box. They put it on the I'm leaving. I won't see this till

I'm already pissed side of the building. Yeah, what the fund is? That? Is that helping? It's so stupid. That's so stupid. Right, So so I tell my wife, I go, can you believe that? She's oh, yeah, they're closed on Monday's what? Oh yeah, everyone talks about it in the Facebook page. Uh that they and they. I said, I'm gonna complain to the manager. Too late. At least eight people have complained to the manager. She doesn't care. Oh,

she doesn't care. Nope, They've all complained that they've waited and she's obviously done nothing because apparently they've been closed for weeks on Mondays. But what what is the significance of closing on a Monday? What business day? Maybe because the pandemic on a main street, you know, a route tan in East hanover the Big ten Circle. But the last time I checked Monday through Friday is Uh. People go to work and they commute and they need their coffee.

So they're like a head dresser that closes on Monday. Closes on Monday, but they put the sign at the end of the road, not at the beginning of the journey. That was stupid. So we we drive fifteen minutes to another drive through. I get to the drive to a very personable woman on the phone on the on the mic,

very friendly. I'm hitting it off with her. But they have a vertical up and down menu like a TV screen, but the menu is horizontal, so it's sideways, so you have to turn your head to the left to read the menu. They actually put that out there on display and allowed it to continue. Yeah, So I said, hey, there's the problem. He says, yeah, we know. We've asked them for a month and a half to fix it. We're so sorry. I said, I. Well, luckily, I know

what I want. I just don't remember what it's called. Old I don't, I says I. I I told him basically what I wanted. Says, Okay, I know what that is. I got it. So we drive around. My daughter's in the passenger seat and the woman was very friendly, very friendly woman. Uh and uh, my white. My my daughter has her dog on her lap, very cute dog. Percy. You've seen Percy h for him. He's he's always in

the videos on the fifty Minute Morning Show. But I still understand why it's a male dog with a female name. But that's a whole other conversation. Not a female name. He's named after Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson books. I think of Percy, I think of a female but continual Perceval short for Perceval one of the nights the Round Table. Percy Jackson in The Lightning Thief is a huge series of movies and books. Female vibes, Nope, nope, nope, And you know what, don't gender name my dog anyway.

So my the dog is sitting on my my my daughter's lap, being adorable, and the woman leans over and says, oh, I wish I had bones. And I said, huh, how do you stand up? All right? That was such a dad joke. Yes, she stared at me and went and she looked at me and then she went, oh, that's funny. And then your daughter was like, my daughter looked, oh no, I drove away. I went, how funny? Was that? Perfect? Right? She went, you embarrassed me. Down, She says, Dad, that's

worse than honking your horn. Now keep in mind that particular door to my oldest one is almost, if not as sarcastic and judgmental and impatient as I am. She's she's very much like me. But and she's funny as ship my oldest. All my daughters are funny. My oldest daughter is funny like I am, in that sarcastic, nasty

way a little bit sometimes. And by the way, she she we were driving uh the day before, and she says something like, oh, you know what, my daughter and I would drive in past the jewelry store where the woman wore my ring. So I said, oh, did I tell you what happened when I went in there? Just yeah, I heard the woman in at the store put on your ring, get over it? How did you hear that? Did you listen to the podcast? Boys Podcast? I listened to some of it. It was long, but I listened

to that part when I was in the middle. Well, I listened to a bunch of it. I jumped around it a fan. So then my wife and I were out for dinner last week. So my wife says to me, Hey, I want to give you some advice. I said, watches, um, I think if you if you did a shorter podcast. People like me who commute for like eighteen twenty minutes could get the whole episode in and maybe do like two short ones. And I said, well, most of our slices yelled at us when we go short. They were

like a longer one. I said, well, what are you basing that on? Well, I was listening to episode blah blah blah, and you were talking about blah blah blah, and I enjoyed it, but I had to get out of my car and you weren't finished. I go, you were listening to the podcast. You don't ever listen to the podcast? Yeah, well you and Scary was saying talking about something it was funny, and I listened, but you know, uh wow, Okay, She's like, I have some ideas. So

she gave me a bunch of ideas. Some of them were interesting. I'll talk to you about that, all fair, because I wanted your opinion before if some of them maybe like not good and I don't want to put put it out there. But I was like, so she's she's she's investing in our podcast. I love that two hundred and ten episodes or in two hundred nine episodes before she listened to like really listen to one because usually ill said you listen goes Why I live it?

Why do I need to listen to it? Like Jeff, Jeff says to me, I go to dinner with you. I lived what you talk about. I was at then why don't you go? People do ask if I listen back to this? Well, I never listened back to our podcast. I don't do. Sometimes I don't. I don't listen. I don't listen back because again, we lived it. Yeah, but I gotta be honest. I can listen to the Sidel's rant and the ups box and uh this and the and the some of the and some of your stories

that that you've told I go back and listen. I do. I'm not one of these actors that go, I haven't seen the movie, but you're in it. Yeah. I can't watch myself on the big screen. Oh no, I love myself. You're gonna go up You're gonna go upstairs and love yourself right now. No, I'm a Slice for life, Damnit brook Dah Boys, Brooklyn Brooklin Nah Boys, Brock Brookly
