#213: If You Like PEENa Coladas...

we're feeling great. The music kicks in and then Brodie's microphone cuts out and now he's back. Now back, Okay, what's this summer? This summer will be five years since we started the podcast, so we're getting close. What's amazing? What if we and you know, if I try to think about what we've spoken about and covered over episodes, not I know, I know you complained about a bunch of stuff, but other than that, I remember me, I

think you complained about ten times more than I have. Well, let's see if we let's see if we're gonna recap to five years, uh, naming the show some garbage pails, dial a big box, a lot of funck U's and free dessert. Right. That's it, that's what you missed. You know, I'm excited about our merch store. We have. We have some some new things going on in our merch store. And I see, Brodie, you're already, um, you know you

you're already wearing some sort of music is okay. So when your Brodie's computer is wearing the new items from our merch store. Okay. So when the song just played, you know, you know their names of Brodian, Scary, usually Scary, yells, scary and Brody. Right, I decided not to do that this time and switch it up. Okay, So the Brodian, Scary,

Scary and Brodie thing has not gone away. We still have We still have that debate all the time, as you guys know, and so that plays into some of our new merch because I made a conscious decision and Scary notice it right away. What are we talking about. Well, we've asked you guys about some of the things we should add to the merchandise store, and one of them

was sticker sheets. Yes, of the various things that we have in our store, like you know, the famous pizza shirt, the logos, the original logo, you got the Pete Pepperoni pizza red and white one, you got the Slice for Life that looks like a pizza box. And then there are these stickers, the grammar Police, the grammar Police. So we made sticker sheets of this, right, So that's that's where we're going with this. We have sticker sheets. Now

we'll talk about how you can get them. But to be fair, our boy Matt made my favorite sticker, the blue one, the navy blue one, and it's the Brooklyn Boys logo and it's his Brooklyn Boys podcast with and one of them says with Brody and Scary, and one of them says, with Skiery and Brody, you can have both of them. Right. So Brody decorating in his his laptop with all the stickers except for the one that says Brooklyn Boys Podcast with Scary and Brodie. Yes, would

you expect any less from me? So not. Now, here's the thing about the stickers, which I have to say, as someone who's a little bit uh O c D or an'tal, whatever you want to call it, when it comes to things being straight, whether it's a picture on a wall or hanging a TV or if there's something that can be a little crooked, it drives me crazy. I'll go into public places and straighten a picture when

I'm walking by it. And so usually when I hang a picture on the wall, I end up with with twenty holes because I have to keep re hanging it till it's perfectly straight. Yeah, And so the stickers on my laptop, I couldn't figure out how I wanted to put them on the back, so I put them in one pattern, that another pattern. I kept peeling them off,

putting them back, peeling them off, putting them back. And the beauty of these stickers is that they don't leave any sticky residue on on whatever you're pulling them off. You could stick them on, and you could stick them off, and then you could stick them on somewhere else and they'll still stick. Now, I'm not saying the glue less forever, but I probably took these stickers off at least seven or eight times each one, almost like you were testing it.

You were trying to put it through the wringer. For not my plan, but ultimately I think that's the w Yeah, let me let me phrase that I did it for the slices not because I'm I'm crazy about things being straight or equal distant or perfectly centered. But I did it for the slices. Let's go with that, right, let's go. So he is the deal. Go to Brooklyn Boys dot

Big Cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com now and you can buy a full sheet of stickers for like exact can get three sheets of stickers for that's the savings of about four dollars. Or if you buy any two items in the store, you'll get a free sheet of stickers. You know what we call that free sheet for us, Free sheet for you, Yeah, for you, right, free sheet for you and you and

you you get a free sheet. So if you're going to get yourself a tank top for the summer, get yourself to tank tops and get a free sticker sheet. It's like we're giving you a sheet. We give a sheet about you. And remember, use the broody and scary sticker and then the scary and brody one that can be the one that you know, when you're you're in a in a popular place and you want to throw a sticker on something, you can go ahead and throw that one. So scary gets to blame for it. But

that's fine. Stick you then, because you're not imaging that that movie theater. You're not damaging that subway train. They're easily removable, But go ahead and throw the scary embody went on, I'm excited that we got stickers. Now we are, we are, We've arrived. We've rived. Thank you Matt at MK and the whole crew. Boys. They take care of you. Boys, I mean just our boy, Matt. This team of design teams. You've got teams of seamstresses and seamsters. Is there a

union the seamsters for the union label? Okay, they make all the they make all the merch um. So we got back from vacation. It was Easter Sunday, and I was with my parents and only your parents and also pointed out siblings. Yeah, but my favorite was my parents when when they reacted to the fact that I got the very fancy Carbone reservation. Originally we were gonna go to Carbone. Now if if you carboner, I had no idea.

I have. I have a carboner every time I hear there's an open res the Carbone are the same people, by the way, that owned the famous Siddel's restaurant, which, yes, major food group that Mario Carbone, rich Tersei, the people who o the part who owned Palm. Those people, the people who they have a bunch of Sidels. Yeah, they owned Palm, which I happened to like very much. They

obviously that was the first that was their first effort. Now, if you could, while we're while we're talking about this real quick, I want you to just remind the audience because you went by quickly the names of the of the gentleman, the very Jewish names of the gentleman that own the Jewish restaurant Sidels, the Jewish style rest. Ahead, go I name the names of people carbon that I said weren't very Jewish people. Go ahead, Mario Carbone and

rich Tersei. Marrio not Jewish, Carbone not Jewish, Richie not Jewish, and Terisi not Jewish. All four names could not be Therefore, as I said to three years ago, not an establishment owned and run and cultivated by Jewish. Where you're going with this? This is the deal conversation, not not not bringing the deal, by the way, but but no, but because a problem on Twitter, Let's get to that later. Are you sure about that? Because I just wanted to. I wanted to give you the results of my poll

about the un we get on the pole. You tagged a chef that you claimed we both knew, Jason No chef Josh Capon. Josh Capon hashtag tribe part of the tribe Jewish cooking. And he always posts on Instagram the best recipes. He owned a restaurant called Lure. He was he actually was the executive chef, and a couple of other great ones. He's also on Chopped. He's been a judge of a highly revered chef in the culinary world. Uh studied n do the best. He where he worked

in the finest establishments. He posted a recipe for mats of ball soup and he threw dilan not deal not only in the mats of balls themselves, but on top afterwards. And and I put I posted to Twitter, I'm like, look, coming from a Jewish guy, traditional Jewish recipe there it is brody in black and white. And now people like shady jew Mobster and some others got on my case and they were just expected expressing expressing their personal disdain for dil And all I was trying to say is

it's used in traditional Jewish cooking. But what I and and and and what you hold on what you said was that it was the definitive because one Jewish chef had one recipe for dil and what I and shady jew Momster that is correct. By the way, I and Shady ju Mobster in a couple of the people all said was traditional is is your own tradition, right, whatever your tradition is, So it's not traditional in my family or shaded you mopsters are the people that we were

chiming in. That's just one recipe. It doesn't prove It just means that he likes Dylan his mutable. But listen that what we learned today this morning. There are people who like ham and pineapple on their pizza. And you wanted to take Danielle's Italian card away because you said, real Italians don't eat pizza with Hammond pineapple. Fruit put fruit unless it's tomatoes. Tomato is a fruit bana bat. Danielle Minero is completely Italian. However, she likes a recipe

with Hammond pineapple. Now does that make it a definitive Italian recipe? No, it means she's an Italian with some strange taste. So I I submit to you, Chef Josh Capon is the Danielle Minaro of Hawaiian pizzas. When it comes to Dylan your mutable soup, I rest my case might drop no, but I will say this though, and and if if you really want me to concede a loss on this one. I put an Instagram poll up and I was like, traditional Jewish cooking, do you guys

aware of this? I do not know the results. I actually I actually put a pole, a twenty four our pole on my Instagram story and I said, uh. And by the way, I did see some of you slices trying to stack the deck. I got you. I didn't I didn't vote. I didn't know, but I know you didn't know about it. And I said, hey, traditional Jewish,

settle this once and for all. The Jewish dish of of of of max of ball soup deal or no deal in your rest in the recipe, Howie Mandela jew would also asked the same question, dil or no deal, deal or no deal. So it opened up suitcases and inside with no deal. Much to my dismay and to your delight, results were sevent that said not not Jewish. Tradition. Yes it was seven. Buy your sticker sheets, you use

your brody and scary sticker. Thank you, it's there. Hey, before we went to break, we're talking about Dill, and I'm not gonna harp on Dill anymore. But I wanted to thank Lindsey Specter, who sent me a T shirt that said big Deal Energy. I love that Big Deal Jackie Helchowski, who sent me an ad for Dill pickles salt teens um hold on average game er Dad sent me a picture of I don't know if this is real,

but Dill pickle pop tarts. And William Rivera who sent me a picture of Dil bursting with flavor prickles pringles rather bill pringles Dill pickle flavor pringles. So those are some things I will not be eating. But big Deal Energy. If that was a great, big deal energy, I will say that could make a good shirt for the future. There, Matt from NK, if you're listening that maybe i'd have maybe I'd try it after some hennessy. Right, that's that's a reference to the song. And if I win the lotto,

if I wasn't rich man. So I was telling you that my parents and I went out. We were going to go to Carbon Scary Scary who sings this song? I'm quoting what which one? Lotto? Right? That's why I said, if I'll try it, if I win the lotto, if it was a lot of h after right after on the roofside, well that's okay. So so I had a point. Um my parents were I was talking. I got on the carbone in the Adel's tip anyway. Yes, very Jewish social carbone, very famous place, hard to get into. It's

it's a big it's a big deal. It's a big deal in New York. They're now opening all around the world. There's one in Miami, Vegas, l A, wherever, whatever you name it. Well, the food look great. I would try. It's a hard reservation. But here's what happened. This is what I was facing. Whoa, whoa. You'll find a way to get me in there that counts repay. No, you should take me as my my deal victory dinner. Well

we never had a deal about deal. You should just say, you know what, bro, we've been fighting over this for three years. I made to get a dinner at a good place. I made a concession. I don't know you two dinners. I owe you one dinner if you want car you want, you can get a steak at Carbone. No, I would like, you know what I would like my

steak dinner? Uh this year, now that the the now that the restaurants are fully opened again, and at the moment, as of this recording, there are no pandemic restrictions in

New York as far as eating out. Nothing. So all right, I'm ready, this is so so my my parents well like now, I thought I was doing a good thing because it's a hard reservation to get into Carbones, and you don't, guys, you have to understand the magnitude of being able to land a reservation, let alone one on Easter Sunday, when I'm gonna be spending with my parents, I got a phone. I wish I had. I wish

I was recording at Brody. You could you could imagine I get a call from my father with my mother on the phone, when my mother when I when I get a call from my dad, and then five seconds later I hear the phone the other landline pickups and that's my mother. I'm like, oh, here comes up, here comes an intervention. So my father goes exactly that, like, yeah, what's up, Tony, Hey, Anthony? You called your father Tony, No, Tony's his name. I called an what's that dad? Yeah?

You call your mommy, Mommy, you're not calling your father dad. And he was, Hey, mommy's Mommy's on the phone. Mommy's on the phone too. Okay, great, Hey, listen about our plans for East Sunday. I'm like, yeah, I see you. You're gonna be taking us to this uh Carbone place. Um, well, me and mommy looked it up, looked it up on Google mAbs and we looked it up. We look up at some of the reviews on Yelp, and I gotta say, it looks like some kind of a jet set jet

set his place. It looks like jet sets. It looks like for the jet set crowd. Did me a mommy, look like with the jet set crowd. Your father, your father is now calling this place Carbones, the the fancy garbage pail of restaurants. He's like, look, because like your fancy garbage pain. You how to hear him? He's like, and he and and now he's he's getting angry as he's talking. He was, and I'm like listen, I said, you don't understand. I said, first of all, it's not

just a flash in the pan kind of place. I've eaten there five or six times. Would I have gone back repeatedly if it was a jet set place and the food wasn't good? Or is it? You know? I mean, you gotta you gotta take my word for it that you know. I'll try anything once. But when I go back, I said, I've been that four times. The spicy ricka Tony is a thing. The the the the real palm on the bone. It's like a tomahawk reveal palm with the palm popped on right there with the bone. And

he goes, I gotta tell you something, Anthony. He goes, where's the veal osbuco? And I said, I said, I said, he they got. This is a basic restaurant. That's it's like spaghetti and meat balls, basic dishes. I don't need anything on here this menu. And he want he wants a basic restaurant. He's no, he doesn't. He wants viola sabuco. He wants a double double pork chop. He wants. Upset that the restaurant you're going to is too basic it's not.

He's trying to say that it's Italian American classics, but it's a very basic menu. It's chicken pot was too fancy. Opposite. No, he wants real genzo. Excuse me, I could say that I'm Italian. He wants real Italy, real Italy food like he wants. He goes, he goes, where's the scongeli, where's the fish salad? I want to seafood, the cold seafood salad, the fruit, the del the food, all that. I said, Well, they have calamari on there. I said, they got chicken palm,

I got, they got different types of pasta. I said, the pasta's outrages they have. Did he doom you a favor, to us a favor cancel the reservation? Oh no, dude. It was like it was like I took a knife to the heart and they were twisting it. Because it is. Again I'm going to reiterate, it is so fucking hard to get a reservation at this place on any giving that you played in the morning show, car didn't you, Yeah, on any given Sunday, pun intended, it's hard to get

a reservation, let alone Easter Sunday. They did me a favorite body letting us in there. Now gotta go eat crow. Now I gotta call them back. And by the way, my parents want something a little bit more uh with which has a lot more Italian dishes. My father wants my father wants something not not as fancy or plain. It's it's like it's a he's a contradiction. It looked up.

I looked up the term jet jet set. It's a term for an international social group of wealthy people who travel the world to participate in social activities unavailable to ordinary people. He's well, so kind of describes a little bit, a little bit, but the food is great. So it's your father is hilarious. He wants he wants something that's not fancy, but he wants something fancier than not fancy.

He wants real Italian delicacies, like because when you go to an Italian restaurant, and again I might be speaking for the it's like Chinese food. In China, they don't eat low maine and pan fried noodles. That's what, right, that's what he's saying in the in the equivalent the the that's a great analogy. It's like, it's like Jewish food. You don't put dill on it. That's what the sup

But yeah, I see what you're saying. But what I'm what I'm saying is he wanted to go to a place that was more traditional red sauce Italian but had a lot more like a big man. You go to Italian restaurant. And then again I'm speaking for the Tri state area, New York, New Jersey, Cannet, maybe some Florida, but California. Yeah, but like sometimes if you go to the Midwest, right, but if you go to the Midwest, you made this this you may not understand it, but

you go to Italian restauraces. You put munster cheese on your chicken farm. But you're going to Italian staurant and they have like a menu a mile long, the size of a diner, and they have all kinds of like octop grilled octopus. Right one one whole page of the menu is for pecia. You fish right one whole and one is the is the big there's a whole feel section. If you don't just get one veal, there is a

whole fal section. So he's trying to say and feel and every every chicken and veal is made eleven different ways, and so it's a mile long and they have all these other things. So so I kind of understand what he was saying because it's it's but what the thing is, they have a more limited menu, but they do those items really well. That's why it's that's quality control, folks. You can't offer seven things on the menu and be

awesome at all of them. That's why some great rest of some of the greatest restaurants have limited menus because they perfect few of the dishes, some of the dishes that are just right when they're hyper focused on them. This is a concept my parents don't understand. So what I do. I cancel the reservation and we went to this place, Cousins in marl Borow, New Jersey. Not a client. Oh you didn't go to Carbone. No, we went to Cousins. And that's what's the video on Instagram was not Carbone.

That was Cousins. It was at which an amazing restaurant in its own right. But I'm just saying it's it wasn't the city Carbone experience I really wanted to give to my my mother and father. But then again, according to them, that's whe the jets set crowd, and you know, me and mommy, we just want we want to go to a place we could get a good Italian food. So that was my Sunday. And that was after a week of me being in a Ruba and then Miami, which is a whole other thing. But how is your

how is your vacation? You did? Did you celebrate passover or what? What? What was going on all of that? So let me let me tell you. I'll give you a rundown of my vacation and and maybe reverse ordus. I I want to end on how it started. Can we do that right after hit the button? Yeah? All right, scary Brodie. So I did. I did some decent things I had. I had a good time. So in reverse order.

On Friday night, so I don't know, six days ago, we went to saying it properly Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, that's ruth apostrophees Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for my youngest daughter's birthday. Very nice, and I got a story. I got a story about her a little bit, nothing bad, but a story. And I had a great dinner just the three of us because my other two daughters are out of town.

Us yes, similar similar to mine story. It was you're the dad, the mom, and the and the kid, and it was I'm the kid and then as my dad. But your siblings, your siblings screwed you over. My My other two siblings decided in college and one's ones out of the country at the moment, so it was just the three of us. Had a great dinner. Um we we had. I you know, I ordered a steak. I think I had the New York strip, the bone in

New York Strip, I love it. And I ordered the potatoes are grotten and the sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes that Ruth's Chris have a crust on top, like, oh my god, it's terrific. Prefer their sweet potato sweet potatoes because they're they're there. Sweet potato pie is like crack. It's like crack pie. Oh, it's amazing, amazing good. By the way that when the food arrived, my daughter grabs the dish once it cooled off a little bit, grabs it and says, it's my birthday. This is mine. Just

totally common deer. The whole dish common deered. So I I had to wait until she was so full that she said, all right, Dad, you can have something, so I got the don't you think I'm a sharer because sharing is caring and might get the table I love. I like to taste little things. But I like tast that's because you order every appetizer on the menu, as everyone knows, and this plenty to share. Now I'm not. I can't get mad of my daughter because it's her birthday.

So I just went, okay, sure, and I loaded up on the potatoes or grotten, which is it's fine, It's fine. My wife wanted cream spinach because she eats that and I don't, and so I had the potatoes are grotten, and of course I shared my potatoes are grotten with her because of course why wouldn't I. But I didn't get to share her appetizer because I don't eat cream spinach. So I lost out on my sweet potatoes and I shared my potato, but I didn't so I didn't get

side dish and a half. I got point eight five of a side dish, and again love sharing with my wife not a problem. But I did lose out on sweep potato. But because it was my daughter's birthday. So what I'm saying is play the birthday card people, because not nobody can say anything about it when it's your birthday, and and you play it even if it's not your birthday. To to the weight and waiter and wait staff, you may actually get a free dessert, say third time this year.

How it's funny how that works out. That's on Tuesday. So before the Friday, my wife and I went to see Harry Potter and The Cursed Child both for the second time. We had seen it separately, and then we went to see it now together. What do you think I liked it more the second time. Now that's enjoyed that. That's like a five show. No, it's no longer six hours and two parts. It's now three hours with an intermission.

They rewrote it and and cut some things out. Really, yes, why because people didn't want to sit there for two days or you know, they cut it down. I enjoyed it. But here's the here's this was the thing, the thing that I enjoyed the most. On Friday, the first Friday of our vacation, no Saturday, excuse me, my wife and I went to dinner at Bocaria right tampest place in Midtown Manhattan. Fantastic, really good food but I made the reservation online. So I'm a procrastinator, but I'm trying to

be much better. And we haven't gone out to dinner in the city a lot. You know, the city was shut down for a while, so we didn't go out as much. So my wife says, oh, you know what, make reservations in this place. It looks like it's good. I said, okay, made them immediately. Normally I would wait till like a week later get around to it, hope for the best. Made them immediately online through their website. I get a confirmation, you have a reservation for dinner. Great. Great.

The show started at eight o'clock, maybe seven, whatever time. Eight o'clock. Made the reservations for We get there and they said, oh, we have a table for you outside. Now it's raining outside. It's raining, but they have a wooden structure. They've built a wooden structure on the very wide Manhattan Streak of food shed. It's like a shock. Yeah, we're sitting in the shack. It's connected to the front of the restaurant signed at the side of the road. Shock. Yeah.

So I said to the hostess, no, we would like to eat inside. Beautiful restaurant. Inside, I said, would like to eat inside? She's well, we don't have anything inside, said outside? I said, well, I made the reservation almost three and a half weeks ago. No, there was no mention. It said confirmed reservation. Nobody said anything. Oh that's how we have available. I'm sorry. So my wife tap puts her hand on my shoulder and says, no, no, let's not do this. Let's just go let's go eat outside.

That's fine. I'm okay. Now my wife gets cold so so much faster than I do. So I said, well, she s as you get cold, I don't want to sit outside. Nope, I'll leave my coat on. It's not a problem. So we go outside. And my guess is what used to be part of the New York City street the vibe they built around this. So our table is I want to say, about a foot. It's a table for two maybe eight to ten inches away from a four three and a half to four ft high.

It's slanted at the top, giant boulder coming out of the sidewalk. Now the shock is built on the sidewalk outside the restaurant. And they must have built the restaurant and made it like like, oh, let's put this giant rock in the street and make it look cool. So we're sitting next to a slant the giant boulder. So I'm like, all right, well, what are you gonna do? My wife against this to me, don't just leave it.

Just let's just enjoy the dinner. Okay. As people are walking by, I'm getting bumped into because the tables are so close so the way. So the hostess comes The hostess comes by and says, I'm so sorry it seems to be a little crowded here in the walkway. Can you please move your table over a little bit? Do you know? The only way I can move the table scary closer to the rock. So now I'm I'm four inches away from the boulder, and my elbow, my left

elbow is hitting the boulder. If I try to like turn to like cut steak or whatever you're dining experience is ruined by a said boulder a boulder. So now the boulder is slanted. So know it's tapp as. So tapp as if you don't know, is when you order small plates of a bunch of different things. That's my favorite way of eating. By the way, Yeah, my wife and I agree on everything. We order four or five things, and our little table for two is running out of room.

So I start putting the plates on top of the boulder, as almost as if to point out the fact that what the funk we have no space left. Yes, but because that's a hell of a good idea to use the flat top boulder as my extension. Now i've my extender, so or the table extension. I've got three plates now from from high to low on the slant, stacked on

the boulder, stacked on the like. Yeah. And so the waiter comes over and he says, sir, I'm not um, We're not really we don't really puts on the boulder, so I said, I said, Um, I said Rick, Rick is it? Yeah? I said Rick, Um, I don't have any room on the table. You're making me sitting next to a boulder. If you don't mind, I'm going to use the boulder to my advantage to make this a better situation. Otherwise you can find me a four top inside where it's warm. And he said, fair point. Enjoy

your exactly what we're not gonna uh right now? Of course, I mean they should have shat you inside. Fuck that noise, bro, Absolutely, But again, my wife and I around for a nice evening. She's like that, don't Applebee's the situation just you know. Um. So then we walked to the theater and we walk by. As we're walking it's on forty Street in Midtown. We walk by the Jimmy Buffett Margharita Hotel. Oh again and Margarita right, She says, Oh, I've read about that. I said,

so have I? She said. All the rooms are really cool. They have like five bars and restaurants and everything. She says, you know, Tuesday, we're going out to see Harry Potter. If was time we should come back there. So I was like, yeah, sure, well I'm on vacation, let's do that. So we continue and we go see a different play because it's Saturday. Again, we're not it's not Tuesday, it's Saturday. And we go to see a play called Take Me Out.

Yes have you heard about this play? Um? Yes, I've heard about this play, But why don't you explain it to the So I'm gonna go and reverse order. Take Me Out is maybe the best play I've seen in ten years. It was funny, unbelievably, by the way, maybe that should have been the punch line, No, the punch lines coming um about to say, yeah, yeah, uh it was.

It was it's about baseball, among other things. Fantastic play, fantastic And what I liked was the actors honestly looked like they've played baseball, like like, excuse me, like it wasn't actors who like just learned how to throw a baseball and they look awkward. They looked built for baseball.

They all looked like even as a Japanese actor in the play, he looked like a Japanese pitcher, like as far as his motions, because if you're a baseball fan, you know the Japanese pitchers have a different style of pitching, the way they move their leg in their arm. Anyway, they all looked legit. I was very impressed by that.

So the stars of the show is which is one of the reasons we wanted to go Jesse Williams from Grey's Anatomy, very good looking man place Derek Jeter type ballplayer in terms of being from a mixed race and how he's a superstar, can do no wrong. Media Darling Patrick J Adams, who was in the TV show Suits, who was the love interest of Megan Markel, your Princess, Megan Marco on the show suits and Jesse Tyler Ferguson three stars of the show. And I love them all.

So we go right Helen Hayes Theater, very small theater, very small theater on Broadway. Not a bad seat in the house. We're sitting seventh row. We had really good seats. So here's what the play is about. And I'm not spoiling anything. I got told this before I went by Jody are are beautiful saleswoman who had seen the show beforehand, knew I was going. And they take your phone when

you go in. They put your phone in a case, in a lock case, one of those pouches, right, they give it to you, but it's in a lock pouch. The show is about a baseball player who comes out as gay, and in the course of the show there are two scenes of full on male nudity. Now it's not gratuitous. It makes sense in the play right by the way slices. Let's let's let's underscore the fact and remember that Brodie is watching live people on my wife with his wife. My wife. This is not He's not

a screen. You're watching live physical actors seven rows away from you, and again I'm gonna say it's a fantastic I really enjoyed it. So this one scene, not spoiling anything, where you see one guy naked and he's talking to Patrick J. Adams who's dressed in the in the locker room, and I'm like, all right, all right, okay, alright, there, okay, this I got through it. I was like, right, I'm good,

all right, we got all right, okay, all right. Then later in the show there's a there's a scene where from the ceiling shower heads and like shower knobs and amazing stage scenery come down and I think nine the whole team come out naked and shower on the scene and on the stage as part of the plot, they're having a conversation that's very important and it's important to the story that they're naked. Here's what I will tell you, men, it's a it's a it's a potpourri of varieties on

the stage. Penis mas sure, penis. It's a penis potpourri. There's a couple of guys on the stage on the right side who are not a threat to me. There's Patrick J. Adams. I'm not gonna comment but he's naked. Now I've I've watched him on suits for like six seven seasons. I'm a fan. Scary. It's very weird when you see an actor naked, But it's weirder when you see an actor that you know, because you feel like

he's like your friend. You're live and they're live in person, and they're and they're lathering up and they're soaping up. And again, I want to point out, it's a fantastic play. Don't don't let don't don't be throwing. It's not it's not gratuitous nudity for it. And then and then and then I'm not gonna tell you who, but there's an actor in the play who um. He's got some big deal energy, big deal energy, and he's on the left

side of the stage. So I am trying to get my wife to focus on the like pointing to the guys at the right. Look at those guys are great actors. I'm trying to desperately to get my wife's attention to look to the right. She's looking to the left. The dialogue is coming from the center, so I'm like trying to go like, so I'm doing whatever. And so it was funny for us. We joked about it. It's cool, but uh, did you see anything up there? She liked.

I'm gonna say hopefully not because that would have been, let me tell you scary. I'm a more to the right side of the stage guy, so I'm center right, like you're speaking, not politically speaking, but in this particular case on the stage, i am center right right. You're not stage left life. I'm like, yeah, Patrick Adams, you're my boy. Uh, you know so, Uh, that's all I'll say. It was. It's a great show. It's no, it's a limited run show. It's only running to like I think

the middle of June. But but how did it make you feel being there with all the peam I mean, you have you know what after after? Well, you know what, it was a good thing that the clubhouse seen with the one guy happened first, because then you're like, all right, it breaks the ice, it breaks the ice, so these things, oh the guy on the left could. But it really

is a good show. And you don't, you don't you're not thinking about it because the dialogue is so important at that moment, and there's a reason why it's important that you're watching a scene that it's it's it's really well done. It was on Broadway like ten twelve years ago, and it's back and it's not gonna be running very long. I would go if you could. That's all I'm saying. Okay that maybe don't take your wife. And then we went.

We went out for drinks after Harry Potter when my wife said, let's do that we have some pean coladas after that. No, but you know what, we ha ha, We did go out. My wife says to me after after the show, she goes, you know what, we should go out for a drink or something. Because we're having a great night. She's why don't we go to Carmines, my favorite restaurant that we've talked about. So we went to Carmines for a drink. I never said at the

bar before. And we sit at the bar and the and the and the bartender's name is Melissa Yea and I said, okay, so very friendly. And she says, oh, welcome to Carmines. Have ever been here before? I said? Have? I haven't been? Have I have a been here before? I've probably been here more than you and you work here. She says, oh, can I interest anything I said, no, we already had dinner, we just saw a show. We're just here for a couple of drinks. And uh, you know,

I don't drink much. So I had one corona. I milk it, and she says, well, you gotta have something. I said, what are your favorites? So I tell what my favorites are. I said, but yeah, it's killing me. So my my wife says, it's got to be killing you. You're you're sitting in carmines and you're not ordering food. And I said, yeah, but we ate already. I can't. I can't do that. So the people next to us have penny alovodka, geoking palm. By the way, why would

you torture yourself that way? I would just go right into a bar. And why would you go into because because we wanted to see our friend Glenn with with the garage right across the street. Texted like, hey, man, come out of the restaurant, say hello, give me a hug, and then we're gonna go to the bar next door from now. Yeah, you know, anyway, so would you have My wife had two drinks. I had the one, and while we're drinking the first round, I'm schmoozing with the

people next to us. A new set of people have sat down and they're like, oh, we don't know what to order. So I'm telling them all the good things. Try the spadhini, Like what spadini, gotta have the big clams. I'm giving them all the how you're you're getting excited. You're like me, you get excited the fact that even though you're not gonna eat the food, you you know food. So you're the woman. The people next to me from

North Carolina. I'm talking them into buying stuff. So the waitress sees that I'm up selling for horror, right, she comes out with a plate with a little bit of caesar salad, a little bit of chicken palm, and one meatball. Now they that call us his family style. It's massive plates of She brought me my own for me and my wife to share our own personal sampling of my favorite things on the arm. By the way, courtesy of of of Cammine. How so, I just want to say

that was my vacation. It was. On the other hand, what was it a sausage? Different? It was it a sausage and meatballs? No? But here's the thing. Here's the thing. The people next to us had just seen a different Broadway show, I think Birthday Candles and like, oh what did you say? We're like, ohways, so take me out and so they go, well, what's that about? So my wife is like, I'll tell you what it's about. I

don't know, you will not. So one of the things that I did, uh it was, was going to Miami and I don't want to bore you with you know, thee on Instagram, the boogie scary stuff. But there was one I had a little awkward moment and it involved some Peene as I mean, is that non Broadway? Is that the theme of a common running theme for this show? The Peene is the Peene episode? Uh so alright, So so I went to this restaurant, sexy Fish, not a client,

very very fancy, high vaulted, bougie we we do. They have crazy rest you know, it's beautiful, but it's also very instagram for the jet said crowds. My father would say, no, but it's very Instagram. But it's very sexy and women always want to go there to to like do stories, and you know they then want to be there when you want to. The cocktail list is a mile long, and it's all colorful stuff, and it was know, it's

very everything is for Instagram. So one of the one of the coolest things about this is uh is the men's room and the women's room. Apparently they're They're like, you gotta see it, so if you see the women's room. I did not. I did not say, because we weren't with any women and we were with just the guys. But I walked in. I wanted walked into go take a piss. And the second I walk into the men's room,

there's a urinal right there in your face. As soon as you like turn the corner right into the second you go, boom into the room, there's a guy taking a piss at a urinal and he's staring at me right in the face. I'm like, the funk is this guy staring at He's staring and and then I walked past him to the urinal at the far end of the of the of the bathroom. So I'm sitting there and I'm doing my business. But the guy wouldn't stop staring at he like it was like he was frozen.

He was staring at the door. I'm like, why is this fucking guy staring at the door. As luck would have it, I'm sitting there like, that's not a real person, that's a fucking that's just a wax figure of a person. So I'm like, what the fund couldn't tell? It was so lifelike Brodie. Then I find then I look at a look closer, it's double double O seven. It's James Bond.

Keep in mind, Sexy Sexy Fish is a London based restaurant anyway, So the way it is is all the urinals are lined up, and the urinal at closest to the door as soon as you walk in is James Bond, Madame Tussau's style wax life size wax figure taking a piss and and staring at the door. That's why he was frozen. And I'm like, I really thought some asshole was staring at me. And then he wouldn't move his head when I walked to the other end of the room, like he's still staring at the door. But I find

out it's a wax figure of James Bond. But yeah, he's he literally has his two hands over his his crotch and he's missing into the urinal and he's standing over a physical urinal that looks I sure did a double O seven but it was a double O seven inches. No, No, he didn't have I didn't have a dick all okay, because I was wondering if he was more left stage or right stage right right right. But it's so. But

here's the awkward part. There were actually two actual human men in in the bathroom with me at the time and other stalls. But I'm like, you know me, I'm itching for the Graham. I'm like, I gotta get this on the Gram. I gotta get the cocaine in the bathroom. I gotta, I gotta get this Graham on the Gram. I gotta, I gotta get this video of James Bond a wax figure. It's just too funny. These are the kinds of moments I live for on Instagram story, right,

I gotta video tape this. I gotta get it on my But how do you do it in a men's room like that? I mean, is it awkward? Is it weird? I mean, am I I'm filming, I'm in the men's room. I don't think I've ever done that in my life, So yeah, you can't be creepy about it. Otherwise, people them. Well, that's the problem. There are two other guys in the room. So I'm sitting there, like you don't want to wash my hands? When to wait for these two guys to leave so I could get the video of James Bond

taking a piss. I gotta get this guy on tape. It's hysterical. I mean, it's the wax guy, the wax guy who's waxing off at the time. All right, So I'm sitting there and I'm washing my hands, and one guy leaves, and then the other guy leaves, and now I'm drying my hands and as I'm as I'm about to take up my phone about to whip it out, not pun intended, another dude walks into the bathroom and goes to take a piss. I'm like, fuck. And I almost wanted to be like, hey, buddy, I'm not filming.

You don't be all weird. But I want to get this James Bond. I want to walk through the bathroom because it's so beautiful and I want to I want to focus in on the James Bond wax figure standing on the ud all at the end. Brody. It took me about five or ten minutes to do it because I kept walking down. I I'm just gonna go into a stall, locked the door, but then I'm taking a ship and then wait for everyone to get to the bathroom, and then when the coast is clear, I'll come out again.

It wasn't happening. Was not happening, I said, So I made a disclaimer to the dude, I said, the one dude that was there, and I said, hey, man, I'm not getting you on on camera, but could you imagine how awkward and weird it was? I mean, who takes footage of the bathroom you know, of of of of a men's whom I don't think I've ever filmed in the men's room before. Like I listen, I needs you to be more sure of that. By the way, I need you to it's definitively know that you haven't. Oh

I haven't. You're like, no, You're like, I'm not sure I have. I mean I could have it. I haven't. But but it's weird because it's something that's so it's so hilarious, and it's it's a work of art and it's meant to be Instagram, but it's an awkward place to instagram. So it's very tricky. Yeah, alright, Well I had an awkward heurinal moment as well, because what I didn't tell you as my vacation and story was I went to the New York Mets opening day on Friday,

and I had an awkward urinal moment. So I well, first of all, I did get to sit down behind home plate. You weren't there, and I did get to eat in a special restaurant where I had steak and potatoes or broad You're you're missing your buddy, You're missing your buddy. I was also I thought of you are going nuts back there. Huh yeah, hold on one second. He cuts the mic off. What is he yelling at them?

I I did. I yelled at the little bit. Okay, So I'm sitting I'm sitting in the good seats because even on opening day it was a day game and they won ten three best record Baseball at the time of this recording, or at least one of them. I know. I'm sitting next to two guys who look like they have a lot of money, a lot. But the guy two to my left looks familiar. Huh, and he's schmoozing with the usher he's been He's obviously a regular USh and I can't figure out who he is. I know,

he's not famous famous, he's face. He's someone that I know or that I've worked with or we've worked with at the radio station, Like is he working with a record label. I can't finely who he is. He's about fifty years old. So I'm like, he's he's got the manny Patty. You know, he's got the I can see the man. I don't know about Petty. He's got the you know, the hands look rich, the hair looks rich. He looks were well off, you know. But I'm in I'm in a seat that I got like, you know, hey,

the seat was empty. I sat down, you know, so I don't want to like start a conversation in case the seat I'm in is his third buddy and he's like, who's this guy in my buddy seat? So it turns out he was you know, the seat was empty. It was fine, but I don't standing to him. So I get up and I get I got to get something eat in the restaurant, which is behind home plate. That's about it. One minute walk, I go in the door.

I'm I'm going to get some eat and then I go in the men's room and there's two yearinals and I'm standing by one and this guy comes to the arrow next to me, to my right. So I'm looking at him. I'm going I gotta say something, right, this is like destiny. He's the guy. So I say, excuse me, I know this is kind of awkward here in the men's room. Um, but I think I know you now again. That's that's like a pickup line. As soon as I said it, I'm like, hapn't we met somewhere before? Your

eyes looked to me. The back of your head looks familiar, so from the back of her head. So he says, I don't know, Well what do you do? What do you do? So? I said, tying guy? So I said, uh, well, you know, I'm in I'm in radio. Where do you work? I said, I tell him is one hundred New York. He goes, so maybe I don't know. Maybe maybe I said, do you have a business in New Jersey? If you're not on radio, you have some business. I maybe I've come into your businesses. Yeah, I own a chain of

physical therapy places. And he tells me the name yeah, and I said, it's a jag rehab, JAG one physicotherapy j G. Well he's JG. Those his initials. So I go sewn, Oh my god, you guys worked on my shoulder, my elbow, my wrist. He said, how about that? How you don't how's your m I said, oh, it's good, John,

it's good. He goes. I was like, who's this guy talking to me at the urinal for a second and I was like what, so thank god, thank God, Like because if he says to me, I don't know who you are and walked away, he would have left with that taste in his mouth. Well no, we didn't get that intimate, but he would have been thinking. This guy just was like where do I know you from? And I don't know? So I was like, oh, thank god,

I know you. So uh yeah, it was weird. I was like, you ever have no where you me seeing a guy like I know I know him, yeah, and you can't place it. But at the same time, you know, I noticed that when um, if if you notice if there are people in uniform, so so my my, I have a group of door people that that that run the apartment building and there the first floor and then the door people sounds like the doge, just trying to be a little you know, PC here and there. I

was down. I was down at the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore once in the middle of the afternoon in the summer, and some guy comes up to me and he's like, hey, scary, what's going on. I had a kid with him. Oh yeah, hey am I I'm like, how do I know this person? Listener and I later found out. It took me about a good five minutes to realize it was my fucking doorman. But he was off. But I've never seen him not in a suit. Need that's that's jet center of you, not to recognize your

dormat actually had a bathing suit on. There was no door involved on the beach, there was no desk, and if we were in a restaurant, he opened the door from me like he wasn't handing me an Amazon package, right. He was with his son, was with his son, and he was all beached down. I'm like, oh shit, hey tony Y. He goes yeah, yeah. But but it's it's a lot when you see someone out of place. I can understand you would only expect to see that guy in the rehab center where you you know, from company

logo on his polo shirt. Does he wear a doctor's uniform somehow or scrubs? No? No, he was, he was. They were like polo shirts with the logo. You know, the same thing with my dentist. I ran into my dental hygienist at the beach at the beach and she's in a bikini and stuff, and I'm like, hell, do I know her? Oh shit, she she's in my fucking mouth every six months. Yeah, you wish she's but she's wearing but she's wearing you know, the mask, the scrubs,

the goggles, the freaking hairnet thing. And she's in the blue and white stuff and she's you know, she's in in dentist and dental hygienist garb. She's she's little, but I've never seen her in that, you know, that side of her, you know, in a bikini like that. Yeah. I told the story, I don't know four years ago on this podcast about the celebrity that I couldn't figure out who he was at at the children's birthday party. He was at another birthday party and I kept seeing

him going, who's this guy? Know, he's famous? And it turns out he's the guy works in the lumbit department at home depot. Did I see all the time, but he wasn't in his apron. Don't you just never know? You beat you when they're out of place, because it's because they're they're out of the environment, you know them. Yeah, we forgot one sticker or one grouping of stickers very important on our sticker sheet, which as a reminder, you can get it Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com.

That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. Correct. There's three little stickers that I didn't know what they were. I just thought they were like, oh cool, random stickers. One is at the letter F, one is the letter you, and one says A seventy seven. What I didn't realize

is there stickers for your keyboard. Oh yeah, you have sticker on the F, the U, sticker on the you in the ape seventy seven on the seven if you want, or the A or the B or the E. I saw somebody do that already, somebody actually example Yeah, yeah, the listeners haven't been able to do that since we put them on sale. He has. Of the time of this recording, they're now on sale. You put the F the U and then want well, yeah, or over the seven.

But anyway you want, you put on the home key if you want, you could space it out and do FU and put it over the L or something and then but anyway you want. Anyway, I want to do a quick segment. I want to play an audio clip to explain a mistake I brain farted last episode. Do you have the audio from the last time? Do you have the Bruce Willis? I mean I haven't touched anything, so it's there. That's not true. You've what's it called, Bruce Willis? I think I'm looking for it. Yes, I

have it. Okay. I played the clip and and part of the clip was the guy sounded drunk or stoned or half out of his mind. But what I didn't point out was that Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia, right right, Well, that's why Will Smith got upset. Bruce Willis has a phasia phasia. But listen to what the guy in the clip says he has. Dr Bruce Willis will step away from his film career after being diagnosed with a faca. Find alopecia with a phasia, And I didn't point that

alapacia like it's on your face. And a bunch of people hit me up and like he said it wrong, and I'm like, yeah, that's what I meant to say, but I forgot. I forgot, I forgot. Uh. Speaking of people texting and things doing things wrong, we got a couple of text messages I wanted to point out that that were funny or not correct. Um. This one was funny. I already corrected them through text, but I thought it

was funny. We were talking about deep dish pizza and this person texted in that the best deep dish pizza in Chicago is Illuminatis. If you know what the Illuminati is, Okay, but it's not. It's not It's Lulu, right. So I don't know if they voiced texted umin Illuminati that is that is not correct. Um. Somebody texted in Danielle said she made a grilled cheese with peanut butter. The person texted in, Hey, Danielle, how do you make a grilled

cheese with peanut butter? And what kind of cheese do you use, to which I wrote back, you take a grilled cheese with the cheese of your choice and you add peanut butter. Yeah, that's how you do it's I thought it was a pretty easy one, they wrote back. They wrote back basically does they're like, oh yeah, yeah, I want to shout out Josh Underscore Hamp on Twitter just for no great reason, but just because he was

being cool. Wrote Hey, peeps, if you're looking for a good podcast to get to check out during the day and have some free time, I highly recommend at the Brooklyn Boys. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed. So that's really cool. Thank you so much for the shout out. Um, hey, anytime you could tell your friends about this podcast. You know a lot of people are reluctant.

I've seen I've seen people on The Big Show text messaging system that's say that we The Big Show goes on vacation, they catch up on The Big Show and in over and over again. There's an old episodes that they've heard before, which is cool, but why not try to tell you those people, Well, they're not hearing this message, but they tell your friends. Who do that? Tell your friends thinging the Big Show? Right? No, I don't know.

They listened to The Big Show when it's on in the morning, but during the day rather than listen to episodes you heard before, we check out the prom podcast and of course you know it's Serial Killers and the other ones. Of course, you know, yeah, of course, and

we gotta have a whole range of podcasts now. But for instance, when we go on vacation in the end of June beginning of July, when the morning shows off a two weeks, what a great opportunity to have your friends and family and all your followers on social media listen to the Brooklyn Boys podcast exactly. So anyway, this is a self serving moment for us. We are not sponsors of our own podcast. We don't, but I guess we are. We're endorses it. We are endorses of our

own podcast. But but we we want to leave reviews. Let's go back to Apple and you you know, start leaving those podcast reviews, you know, and and just maybe listen to maybe experience the podcast if you haven't done it on Spotify or by the way, other means get getting. We are number seventy six in the comedy category in Indonesia on Apple Podcasts checking us that number with down fifteen slots, by the way, very upset down fifteen slots in Cyprus were down to fifty seven in Kuwait kuwait

for it. We're one thirty five and in South Korea one seventy two, and I think we're the soul comedy podcast there. Uh not intended defending you. I was defending you. You want to hear it, yep, I defended Okay, So Scary got crap on the on the Big Show on the Air because he partially took credit for something that producer Sam did. And Scary said, well, I asked her to do it, she did it. We as a team got it done. So I said, we found this old phone tap. In essence, it was Sam. We found it.

But Scary was like, hey, our phone tap department, we found it, right, And so this person texted in defending Scary and said, well, hey, back in two thousand nine, when the phone tap was from Sam, wasn't even part of the show. Scary put that phone tap together back then, so if it wasn't him, there would be no phone tap to be found. Scary deserves full credit, which is hysterical. But so I said, well, if you're gonna play that game,

Nicole A Tesla invented radio, so he gets credit. And Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone for the phone tap so he gets credit. I mean, how far back do you want to go? That's a whole comment. We should actually have that. I feel like we should have Sam on our podcast next week, And because I really wanted to explore that topic, because I do think it's a generational thing and not a sexist. You did it to me many times, and I used to get upset. You

co produced. Yes, well, you and I used to be the call executive producers of the show, right, just us back in the day. It's always weak. We we wait, there's no there's no, there's no Iron Team. Brodie, I would say, yeah, I would say, scary. When Elvis comes back in the studio, I'm gonna suggest we talk about chicken palm or whatever. And Elvis would walk in and he go, Helvius, let's talk about chicken parm and you go, great, idea scary and you wouldn't go thanks. It was the

two of us, you just go yeah. We wanted to let everyone know that the reason why we're cutting this podcast short is because we've been having connectivity issues all afternoon for some reason. This our system that connects Brody and I uh is literally Brody and me is it's in, it's out, it's in, it's out, it's it's it's like sex almost but uh or that burger place in uh in in in California. But we were having difficulty staying together, and we we have to actually have this looked at

because it could be a problem for the future. So it's not scary seven point nine million dollar equipment this time. And it's not Brodie's cheap as fucking microphone because as you can hear, there's no echo right now, which no echo, but we have this, we have this terrible latency and and and Brodie keeps dropping out and more often than you know. So we said, go get your sticker sheets by two items. Get a sticker sheet free by three sticker sheets for a discount of price. Go have you

self a ball. We'll see you, guys, will hear you, guys, will talk to you guys next week. And please leave us some voicemails at our voicemail number two on eight. F you a seventy seven? Is it to eight one or two one eight? It's what I said, F you all right? I like that. We'll call that a podcast. How do you enjoyed this episode that we're gonna call if you like peanut clad boys. I didn't agree to that, boys,
