#215: Spackle My Crackle

want to comment. I'm like, that doesn't sound right. You're in your ear holes with all that wax and build up, Yeah, lots of I mean technically you have to go through your ear holes to experience us, if you think about it, Yeah, absolutely, I mean otherwise, I mean I don't know anybody else. Does anyone listen through their asshole? You know, based on some of the feedback we get sometimes I would think yes, like a seventy seven clearly listened to his asshole if

you think about it. Um. So here we are in the afternoon on a on a Wednesday. Um and uh yes, earliest we've done this is Yeah. This it feels weird, it feels bizarre. Brody, there's light out. It's light out. I mean, wow, look I can see out my window. Well, not only early in the day but early in the week. Yeah, that's crazy. Thursday Friday. Yeah, we've been slacking, man. You better get on your get your ship. It's been you

by the way. Yeah all right, wait, okay, let me fast forward to seventy minutes from now when Brody cuts us short because you've got some stuff to do. Yeah, I have a tele him at appointment. Okay, that's a great story, but you're gonna cut as short before I cut us short. Well, why can't we record tonight, scare We can't record tonight because of you? No, because of you. You said yes some of people you said on Wednesday, I have the screenshot. I can't record Wednesday night. You

gave me this on Sunday. You actually woke me up. Oh that. I don't know what I have to do tonight, but it's something I better remember what it is. You better look at your calendar, man, Come on, bra Holy sh it, I gotta or something. Or have you been loading up your calendar where a lot of stuff, like I mean, ever since like pandemic ended like all of a sudden, like now boom, it's been an explosion of meals and events and traveling and things that they've been

added to our schedules beyond our control. It's like everybody wants to do ship now. Well you know what I'm I'm I'm not gonna say, I'm traveling and doing all the things you're doing. But yes, so I put everything in my in my Google calendar on my phone. The calendar is filling up quick. It's filling up. But every day it fills up, and then I don't get to it all and I have to move it to the next day that I move. It's like, you know what, I can't. I go, Oh, Monday, I didn't get it done.

Let me try Thursday. Then Thursday comes. I've got stuff in my phone since November that says I get it done, and I'm like, I still haven't done it. What are some of the things in your phone that you haven't gotten done since November? I'd love to know. Let me pull up my my list of calendar events. Let's see. Because I have I have something um I have called the g I back about the black the back splash um estimate from my from my kitchen that was from that was from one I never called the guy back.

I still have to get the estimate. Can you imagine that I have no back splash? Uh? So, now how do you live? Well? When I caught what you know? When I cook sauce, now it just splatters all over the back fucking wall and it stains it. It's disgusting. By the way, speaking of Sauce, the Jets drafted a guy whose nickname is Sauce. That's just that's really that's the first name he goes by. And so I made a joke on Twitter that, oh, now that he comes to the New York, New Jersey area, all the Italians

gonna call him gravy. So people who got that joke, we're like, oh, that's funny because some well Italians called sauce gravy. If you cook meating it, then it becomes gravy. Even if it's right, I'd say it's a send Diane Family Montage pick. That's from January. Okay, that's a year and a half ago. You got me beat uh wine by I don't pick for client July. Still haven't sent it. Audio for Shitty that's the guy on Instagram shitty p D and Shitty d City Jock sty radio jock. Right,

he wanted audio of us ripping the bad DJs. So that was November six, of least. You never got that to him. No, since November six, h let's see, Oh, get the seat adjuster for the Ford for my kids car December. That's just some of them. Okay, So mine is more of the repairing. You know, my bathroom is in shambles, and and because I'm dragging my feet on getting this project done, I want to do the little odds and ends. So I have I have, Um, this

is gonna sound weird, but cock the cracks. Cock the cracks in my in my bathroom tiles because some of them have like mold growing. Okay, still haven't gotten that done. And then I had because I don't know which color coalk to buy. Some would say it's it's almond cock. But I'm not going home depot anytime soon, and I'm certainly not gonna do it on my own. I'm gonna call the the maintenance guy to come up it. Flip the guy at twenty it'll come up here and he'll

he'll cock my crack. You think he's gonna cook your crack for twenty You bet you better buy him dinner. First, I have to fix a broken tile in the bathroom that's on my list, and there's a giant crack. Why do you say I have to fix the tile when you actually mean I have to get a guy to fix the tile. Well, you know what I mean at this point, and then another crack. There's a crack on the crack. Dude, there's a crack going down my entire living room wall. It goes from the top to the bottom.

And I'm like, maybe I should have that checked out by something. To me, that's a larger problem. But I'm like someone I wrote, speckle the crack. I wrote, you

are the most unhandy person you live in it. Here's the thing that you live in an apartment where you are You own the apartment, right, but you still have a super like a you know, a guy who fixes stuff, but you don't like you didn't you call the guy to fix your table that you broke your your microphone remember then, oh yeah we had it was live on the podcast when the microphone fell off the hinge and I'm holding it and I'm like, this is bad news. He came up and he had to, you know, use

a drill. You never had a drill in my apartment. Use a drill. I used the drill yesterday. I fixed the uh, the hinge on the gate. The hinge they latch on the gate to my deck. And then and then I noticed that the reason the gate was out of alignment was that the part of the the the fence of my deck that connects to the corner of my deck was loose. The the I don't I don't know how they do this. So it's like a double ended screw that they put in between the post and

the fence part. Yeah, double ended screw. And so I had to buy a corner piece like a triangle and then drill that into the corner to attach it. Now you did that, Yeah, Now my gate closes and and clicks the latch perfectly. Because this is well perfect. I'll have you know that. When I moved into this apartment, one of the housewoman gifts I got was from my parents a huge drill set and all the bits and

all the tools, crazy tools. And then to take the box that's sitting in my closet, and I swear it's now fifteen years later. I don't think. I think I opened it once, but it was so the maintenance guy could fix something in the nice He was, hey, I don't have this drill bit you And I'm like, actually, I think I do. And I go out and I dust off the big box in my closet and I just opened up the box and I showed him, I'm like, here, take your pick. And he found what he needed in there.

And that was the first and only time anything was touched. And and and this is apparently a nice drill whatever it is. Apparently it's a U I hear it's a nice drill. And my father said that you spent good money on it. Anyway, people said, I got you one of those nice drills today. But he is exactly what I'm not. He you know, my fine man a man. He's a plumber. He's an electrician. No, my father, No, he's an electrician. He's a police old school he's he's

a mechanic. He used to get under the car and fucking you know, change all kinds of ship underneath there. My father, my father did a lot of that ship around house too. Used to install telephones. He was a police officer, but you know, to install phones. Wiring he had. He had the big staple gun where you could stick attack. I love it, put the wires on the wall. Yeah, my father's I have one of those, my father, that was part of the gift set. I've never used it.

I don't think there's staples in it. But for anyone who says that I'm bougie, you should see the ship you used to see the hold on you should see the crap in the bullshit that is my apartment. Okay, my caving an apartment. Okay, so maybe I decided to spend my paycheck on other things. But your your bougie. You're lazy, but you're bougie and that doesn't count. But you canna say you're not bougie because you live in a dump. I don't, but I don't live. I don't

live extravagantly. Everyone thinks that I have this. You live in a very nice apartment. It's an apartment, though I don't have. I don't have space out of green. Because you have no fear if you don't want, I asked you, because if you had a house, what would you do to be no one to come fix anything? You don't have a super in the house. No, I die, forget it. You're kidding me. That's also my fear of moving into something bigger than this. At least here, I have a doorman,

I have maintenance people. I could pick up my phone, I could text the text the super George to George, the Super George the super I just texted like, hey man, I'm having trouble with blank. I hear a weird noise here and he comes up and he comes to the rescue every time time. But you live in an apartment, regardless of how nice it is. It's the size that that a twenty four year old gets when she gets he or she gets the first job. It's a one bedroom apartment. Look, I look people like if you guys

are listening and a live in a studio. It's not I'm not saying anybody where you live, but scary. Can at least get a two bedroom you can have company over. He could get something with a little more space. Anyway, he works hard for the money. The place is showing. It's it's age. Things are very very hard for the money. Thanks great reference, But no, really, I I really am screwed because little by little things are you know, the walls are caving in. I have stuff of my to

do list. There's cracks appearing, and and I'm like, is it time to get like like kind of like get out of here and sell this thing or go somewhere else. I don't know, I've told you to move. You like to look The problem is you're comfortable. You uh, you liked where you live. You like the location. You like it. It's close to all the places you like to hang out. And I'm too lazy to pack. You should get something bigger. You should get a bigger bedroom, more closets. You should

have a bigger living room. Look, I know you don't have a lot of company, but Robin, your girlfriend deserves a little more space. If the slices saw my place, they would actually be surprised at how humble, how humble of all. At least get to when you and Greg t and you and Rich had a two bedroom too bad, it was bigger than this place. Yes, that's at least you should have that. You should at least have a common area with a big living room and a big

walk like walk around space. You need, You need, Robin have her own bathroom if she wants so. When you blow up the bathroom which she wants to put a makeup on the counter, she said, Robin, I got your own bathroom. That's it. Let her keep her stuff there. She's not living with you, but I have a normal space. Yeah, now you know, I'm still living in a situation where I have to turn on the fawshit before I take a dump, Yeah, just to block out the water in

the sound. By the way, we got this text message today from area code seven, which I believe is Ohio. Uh oh, my god. Over the course of this pandemic, scary this was today, scary has become two thousand percent bougie. Hold on or he's hit the next level whatever that's called. So whatever, it's above bougie. They're accusing you of that, they said. I say this after listening to the last episode of The Brooklyn Boys and the Big Show. Ha

ha ha that was today. Well, so what would what would if you looked at my place, and I'm being honest, if you take a look at what, there's nothing bougie about. This is a very living rooms bougie, at least your living room. I could I could literally lay across you, you know what. I could barely room for a blue mattress in my living room. I have a small, tiny place. Yes,

but it's bougie. It's bougie because you took a photograph from a fancy magazine and recreated it with all fancy furniture of fancy rug you know the name of the rug. You have. Who makes the rug in your living room scary? I have no idea. I know you guys don't know where you're going with this. The furniture, the furnchise in name. Well, yeah, when I moved in, I spent a decent amount on the couch right and and the matching chairs, the whole blue and brown thing. Yeah, yeah, I did. I did.

But but it's just I live in a seven hundred square foot space total. That's my entire apartment. Listen, most people have a lot more than that. Listening to this absolutely, then oh I needed to spell all rumors of me being bougie. No, but but the rest of your life is bougie. Where you go, what you wear, where you eat, Well, that's what we don't spend our paychecks to where we want, right. Some people put it into home improvement and they're and

they're wonderful living space. And I decided to piss it away on bottles at the club. That's just the lifestyle style thing. It's my one less sparkle, one less bottle with a sparkler in it, and calk your bathroom. I think you gotta find some balance in your life. I think I think you go you go for one less sushi brunch and you fix the crack in your wall. That's what I think. I think you have to go for a couple less mimosas and and fix the tile it's broken, you know, like you gotta figure out what

you can cut back on a little bit. But it's the point is it's one of the other. It's not being it's as I'm choosing. I'm choosing what to do. If we're all created somewhat equal here, I mean we don't have you know, we're not millionaires. We all then then if you can still I'm just my money is allocated towards things that tend to be a little bit more of a of a bougee lifestyle. Because I don't have kids, I don't have to pay for child support.

I don't have to pay for kids. Kids call you're having kids and getting divorced in one I don't have to pay for I don't have to pay for child support. I don't have to pay for college. I don't have to worry about diapers. I don't know. You know, listen, kids cost money. Pets cost money. I don't even have a pet. I don't know. And you've made hundreds of dollars doing that that diaper. Commercial pets come, right, but pets cost. Pets cost money too, right, I don't have

a pet. I mean, I mean single income household there, all right, you still need to fix your ship up. I guess I do. But if that's the case, that balances out the boogie in my opinion. And yeah, I spent a lot of money on this god damn equipment. So we continue to have this podcast in this format where I get to be at home and you get to be at home and hopefully your table doesn't break again. Buck you podcast, Body and Scary Scared. Did I tell you about the dinner I had with my cousins? Did

I tell you that where they picked the restaurant? Did I tell you that story? No? But I feel a cheap, a cheap moment coming on. No, I are you sure I didn't tell you the story where the waiter got everything wrong? Yes? Oh yeah, of course. Oh yeah. So I'm looking on my phone. I'm looking at the picture. I may have to post the picture of the chicken palm with string beans. Yes, terrible, terrible. So I told you about that last week. So I had a craving

at a craving. What's today Wednesday? Over the weekend, I had a craving. It was Saturday night, and I don't know I was. I was driving out and about and it was ten forty and I had a craving for Wanton egg drop soup from a Chinese restaurant. Now there's a problem with one ton egg drop sup in New Jersey. What's that? It all tastes like a little bit of like chicken soupy. It doesn't taste like what I'm used to in Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, everybody made one ton egp

super same. Now one ton egg up loup is usually egg drop soup, which you can get on the menu. And in Brooklyn or in the boroughs in New York City, they put with the wantons in the egg drop and and roast pork because roast pork comes in Wanton soup. So the best of all the world's together, take right the best of the Wanton soup minus the soup, and they put egg drop soup in, which is thicker and it's like pieces of egg in it. It's it's fantastic. It really is unique. I don't know if anyone does

it like that. Well. In New Jersey. What they do is they just put the wantons in the egg drop soup and no pork. Now, the pork gives it a special flavor, it gives it a different flavor to it. So I've only found two places in all of New Jersey that put pork in the wanton egg drop soup that I can enjoy it the way I did growing up, because it's like a meal, but out the pork. It's like, well it was the pork. I've had place I've paid them extra to throw the pork in. They're like, oh, no, pork,

I go, please put the park in. Please. I've had places lie to me. I go to put the roast pork in. Yes, and then when I get it there is then they go, oh, no, there's pork in the one time, that's not what I asked you for. I asked you for roast pork roast port. And it's a stringy version of roast pork. Right, It's just it's red, it's sliced, it's you know, it's got Okay. So there's one place I love, the only place that makes it right. They're closed. So I'm like, I'm gonna go to other place.

I'm gonna go to other place that's open. Is two places a block apart from each other on the main avenue, about ten minutes from my house. I don't normally go there, but they're still open. So I go to the first place. I get the soup in the bag and out to my car. It was I don't know, tennuts before they closed, and they didn't put the pork in the soup, even though the one time I ordered from there before they did no pork in the soup. I go to go

back inside. The doors locked. Are we closed? We closed? What? I just can't Yeah, we cloked. They closed at five to eleven. They locked the door. When when back in, all, well it's supposed to be eleven o'clock right right there. Will let me back and pork. They go, okay, here you like they do that? Okay, you're closed. Sorry, So he's like, you know what, the guys like what He's gonna go to get the boss in the back. I'm like, I forget it. I gotta get out of here. So

I go up the block to the other place. I got three minutes. I go to the other place I've never tried before, but they're open. I'm like, you know what, let me do a taste test, let me pray. The place I've never gone to before has roast pork in the soup. So I go and I want a one tonics time. I go, this is your superp pork in it? No, I go, you know, just give it to me, Just just let me have it, because I'll do a taste test. Whatever.

And they're about to close. So instead of having soup in the metal containers that are in the like the steam table, she takes it out of a tup aware and ladles it into the half container, the typical Chinese food half container, puts it in the microwave, and I'm like, this is not the way professional place. She takes it out of the thing. I can't say. I can't walk out. I can't be like forget it. I'm not. I'm like, it's three dollars whatever, it is three fifty whatever. So

she puts it in the bag. I get to my house and I eat the I tire the other soup. It's it's not great, and the dog needs to go out. I walked the dog. At this point, it's been forty five minutes since the second place microwaved my Chinese wanton egg drop soup. I go to open it. Scary it was five degrees. Oh did you burn your tongue? So you can get some free dessert? Take a grape soda. They gave me that grape soda, but not I'm realizing

it scary. How hot did it have to be? If forty five minutes later it was I couldn't touch the container? Why it was so so? I left it out in the counter an hour and a half later, no joke, it was too hot to eat? Wow? How fucking hot did they make that? What kind of nuclear well microwave did they have? But is that even possible? Though? Did for to say that stay that hot so long? I took the lid off so it would cool off, and it was still hot. I know what it is. What

it is. There was a lot of oil in there, and oil takes longer to to go back to room temperatures. That's what I'm going with. Yeah, it has to be because if it was just liquid like water, it will cool off quicker. Oil takes a long time, especially especially peanut oils and other olive certain oils, they take a longer time to go back to room temperature. So Yeah, that's probably it, Brodie. So I gotta I gotta a quart of oil. Yeah, depends oil, depends on give me

a quote oil please. It was unbelievable I could And then when I found out at it, the noodles was stale and the soup was terrible. Sounds like a sounds like a party to me. Yeah, but it wasn't cold. You know, I had a funny eating experience. Um, you know you would love this, you know this is I think I wouldn't know you would because it involves steak. I went out. I went out for steak on Friday night ahead insert joke here. Yeah I didn't, Yeah, of course not. I was with my friends. We went out

to this place. Explains why I wasn't there going. So this place in the Butcher's Block very very uh popular, like six times in the past years, so good. By the way, not a sponsor, and they're in Long Branch, New Jersey. They're wildly popular and they just redid the whole place and they're gearing up for their summer season. They're about to open their outdoors. Not a sponsor. And by the way, did not get anything for free paid retail Okay, uh yet no cap, no cap, no, no,

please stop that people. No cap. That's what all the kids are saying. No cap. That means not stopped. Dead ass, dead ass, don't make me get salt. So so it's so cringe, right, uh like that. So one of the things they did is it's like a gimmicky thing. Right. They have these crazyest steak knives that are they're little meat cleavers, but they are handcrafted and they're like two fifty dollars each and they give you a meat cleaver

to cut your steak. And it literally is very funny because you look like it's a miniature version of a giant fucking hatchet or meat cleaver that you see the butcher's use. Okay, that's there's an insignia, their symbol if their logo is that thing anyway, the meat cleaver. So they tell you, hey, don't steal our ship, right, because they realized that as soon as they introduced these to the dining room tables, they were fucking being stolen left

and right. Um, they started telling us stories of how they have people on surveillance actually stealing these steak knives. Uh. And they put these people on there. They put like a black and white movie. They made like a black and white like kind of surveillance thing and they put the Larry David Curb Your Enthusiasm music. It's on their social media. If you go to the block en J you can actually see it's a few posts in and it literally is is people stealing steak knives out of

the bus box anyway they can. But if there's eight people at the table, it's gotta be eight knives that returned to them. Otherwise they do this to you. And this is fucking brilliant. The bill comes they they know that you've stolen a knife because they didn't get them all back. All of a sudden, the bill shows up.

They did this to a couple of a few people. Uh, and they had a table people that all the itemized things are on the receipt you know, um, tomahawks, steak, uh, French fries, and then one of the itemized things are stolen knife. It's like written because the bill is like some exorbitant amount of money, and people like, what do they charge me for? And and one of the items it says it's literally they haven't punched in the thing.

So stolen knife comes up on the receipt, they get knife with them, they've already taken it because they've already cleared the plates, they've already cleared dessert. That was. That was one group of people that came in. They did that too, other people. Other groups of people. They caught on surveillance and they nabbed them at the door and they confronted them. Um or they they hit them with the fee right there. Anyway, they banned you for life

and they forced you to pay five hundred dollars. Now, obviously this one group of people said, no, okay, here's the knife back. You got us because they wanted to five to come off the bill. But isn't that so fucking funny? But if they give the knife back and they still banned for life, I believe so if you make an attempt to rob their knives, they ain't putting up with your ship. It's fucked up. It's fun on a whole other level. This isn't now, this isn't outback.

We're talking. I know, you know, we we joke about Froggy on our show. He likes to take steak knives and collect steak knives from places. But you know these are hand They say their handcrafted meat cleavers. They're so unique that you're gonna want to steal one if if you walk into the place, I guarantee it, but to deter from it, they warn you and then they stick you with it on the bill. I think. I just that was so funny. They take no ship at that place.

That's great. Well, you know what, someday maybe someone will take me there and then I can. I'll steal a knife and then you'll get charged if you want to take you Ape seventy seven, take Brodie for a steak dinner. Yeah, speaking of it a little bit. Yeah, we're gonna get some voicemails that were left on the Ape seventy seven hot line, and we have some talkbacks. Brody excited. Oh yeah,

I'm very excited. And we have some Brody audio which I'm also excited about, including another clip from the Real Katie Babs. Another one, another one podcast should we get to the Katie Babs email? What are we doing here? It's not an email? Well, only have you let me tell my my my joke because you just said another one, another one, and that reminded Danielle did a story on on the Big Show. A couple of weeks ago, and I never got to this joke on our podcast on

the Big Show because Elvis didn't do it. She was talking about an expensive DJ Khalid watch and that for some reason he spent like a hundred thousand dollars on it. But this it's defective and it does. And I said, yeah, because on the dial, and he's got another one, Hio, another one, another one. That was the problem. I like that. Did that not? I didn't make it, didn't get wait listen whatever. Yeah, So the question when will when will the unused punch Lines feature return to the podcast because

it's been two years. Well that was one right there. We need to see we need a collection followed by an actual okay montage. We need a montage. You need to collect them up, yeah, you know, and then send it out. Let's let's let's push them all out together, one after another. You know what. I wait a minute, Oh, here we go. I have a couple. Here, get the music. We haven't done this in a while. Now I have I have um, I only have two. I have two from a couple of weeks ago that that Elvis didn't use.

These are unused punch lines making its return to the podcast. Haven't heard this one in two years because we all haven't been together in the studio, and Brodie hasn't really written any jokes. And you know, Brodie, that's not true. I write him in the chat room. I don't write him on paper. Brodie's listening on an earpiece from his toilet at his house while the show's going on the way. But it's a nice view from the toilet because I don't need to cock anything. Everything has been cocked. But

you have to call. Yeah, but you definitely have to do something about your crack. Yeah, but never when I'm on the went on on the air with you guys, and then when you're on the toilet. All right, So we Daniel did Gandhi did a story in the news that airlines are now allowing banned passengers back on the planes, the ones that were banned for vaccination problems or mask problems. To them, they'd allow them back on the planes, so I said. In a related story, Spirit Airlines is allowing

banned flyers to pilot their planes because Spirit Airlines. And then, uh, you know Uncle Johnny, who's uh if you don't, you guys, you know Uncle Johnny, but he's a. He's an older gentleman that is very good friends with Elvis and his husband Alex, and now he's part of the family on our show. We have him on UH once a week or so. He calls in, he shows up, he makes drinks.

But he's told stories many times about how as he's gotten older, his penis has gotten smaller, to the point where he has to tie the rubber band that comes around the broccoli stalks in the supermarket around the base of his penis, or doesn't go in a broccoli band, Yeah, a broccoli band. So he we were talking to him about watching porn and I said, oh, you know, I think it was Uncle Johnny was saying this porn on his phone and Elvis says about, oh, you should post

it on a website or put it online. He's like, oh never, He's like, if you ever, if it ever got out there, he's so embarrassed. So I said, so I gave Elvis two options that Uncle Johnny could post his small penis videos on porn nub or porn stub, and he didn't use either of those jokes. Oh my god. Both of them would have been a really awesome little waka do or what a little dude. Just those are a couple that happen to have. So I only write jokes on paper when Elvis and I are both in studio. Yeah,

so here and far between. Well, yesterday we were in studio, but I don't think I saved any of the unused jokes, and he used a lot of them yesterday. I'll try, I'll try. Not Today, I went in and he wasn't there. I knew he wasn't gonna be there. Higher success rate. But I did go in today because and we had two fantastic guests in studio today. Josh Grobin, who, by the way, he's been on our show like a dozen times.

Not only what are the nicest people in general on the planet and talented, but funniest shit, Yeah, really really funny. He's a great, great guy. John we had, we had comedian and Anthony Right, who was on our podcast. We had him all on Elvis's show today in studio. He was hilarious, but I will say that you can enjoy him even more on the Elvis stir And fifteen minute

morning show from today May four. I'm getting a lot of feedback about that episode two thousand twenty two where Anthony and I sort of double team scary about how he makes out he's he uh, he has kissed on the mouth a cousin of his, a distant cousin not in Florida. That's why she's distant, several people removed in my family. It's not my father's my father's brother's father's daughter, son of a bitch. I was trying to make that clear, and you'll hear why and terrific. We should play some

of that audio on this podcast maybe. But there was also an off mike conversation that happened right before the podcast and no one was rolling on that we wanted to bring to you as exclusively in record exclusive Brooken Boys audio that we never got, and it was basically, I caught Anthony Rodio which his pants down because whoa whoa.

In a previous back when he was on Zoom with the Elves Durrand Show several months ago, he got on my case because I still call my mother or mommy to my sister when I'm talking about, say hey, Jennifer, when's mommy coming home? And Anthony Rodia went on this crazy rant about how that that people don't normal people don't do that even, and I blamed it. I said, it's an Italian thing, it's a cultural thing, it's a Spanish thing. It's what we do in our culture. And

then he said, no way, I'm Italian. It doesn't happen. Well, fast forward to today when his Anthony Rodilla's brother was sitting across the room from us, and he said the same thing. He got up because hey, what was that thing daddy was talking about? And I'm like, did you just use the word did you just refer to your father as daddy to your brother? Just now? Is that not the pot cole and the kettle black? Do you not remember six months ago when you went on the

air and it was very, very funny. It was really cool, but nobody was recording it. That sucks. Why I thought Froggy was rolling? No, I wasn't, I asked him. I texted him we were gonna have it for this podcast, but Froggy said, no, dice. But it was a funny moment, lost, lost in a vortex, never to be seen or heard from again. All Right, we got Kati Babs audio. Okay, So it's not that she made any mistakes, all right, And it's not that she was over the top with

anything in particular. But she's telling a story about the Backstreet Boys, uh and and the band Corn, and I want you to hear just the way she puts the in, the way she speaks like she's trying to be cool at the end of sentences, and the way she's like laugh so hard right and said and she and and listen to the way she's like she says, uh back, she poys video from back in the day, and then the way she says throwback. Just listen, and it's just I can't. I can't just listen to Katie Babs. It's

got a solid laugh out of me. The other day, Corn, we're doing a photo shoot and it looks identical to the Backstreet Boys album cover from way back in the nineties, and they recently posted a video of them trying to sing I wanted that way from the Backstreet Boys. I grew up watching the Backstreet Boys, being obsessed with them and going to all their shows, so this was hilarious to see a metal band covering Backstreet Boys. As a Joe, I'm gonna play them here in about four minutes with

a throwback, but first it's full beat. Wait a second, I thought she was a rocket chick and she was a punk and she don't. She's fun the mainstream, right. But but do you have the clip of the caller who left the message as Katie Babs last week? Uh? No, I don't what I mean, well, because it's on the talkback. No, it's on our voicemail. Hold on, I have to find it. Oh so right, So, but the way she's like and then I was a fan and hold on, let me

let me play it. I gotta find it. I think this one is it yep, but it's corn Ward and I found it. Okay, it's corn was it's the band is singular? This was This was the person posing as Katie Babs and left us a A two one eight few a seventy seven voicemail for us here. It is still one of the funniest things we've played in a long time. Hey, guys, dabs here rocky music journalist legend. So someone like bands said that you've done tributes to me and your show. So I wanted to call in,

give a proper and horn and thank you. Normally I only listened to reruns of my own shows or into this, but I'd like to give back to the video community. So I'm starting to book episode one. Can't wait to hear my shout out guy, So I need So we Bronie and I listened to that and analyze that voicemail several times over. We in fact, in fact, we were so it's that such a great dead on, uh you know, impression of her. We think that that we thought maybe

it could have actually been her. So a lot of these so these voicemails come with phone numbers attached to it, and it's area coaches seven oh two, it's from the Vada. So, Mike Brody, is it at all possible? Remember this, we were on the phone together. Is it all possible? Maybe google her or Katie Babbs if you haven't lived, is it all possible that he really is Katie Babbs and that you know she has like a Vegas number because we know that she's based out of l A. Now

by way, Anna right, she's from Canada. Yeah, So I'm like, did she see it? See but something? And we were looking when Brodie was googling, and then she and we fought for a second we might have had her pinpointed. You thought like, oh, it's gotta be her I'm like, no, it's not. It's close. But you know what, it's not. Think the impression is great. The impression is about an eight. I'll give you that. It's the verbage, it's the script, it's the it's what you said, the reference to incubus.

And by the way, whoever left that message you I don't know if you guys, if you're behind episodes, but you still haven't reached out to us and legitimately proved who you are, so we can tell you, you know and thank you personally via m or something. In fact, I'm gonna give you some Brooklyn Boys swag from Brodie's collection private stash. Hey, not my stash, you know what, fuck you. I'll give it to her at a my stache. And I'm gonna give her a water bottle too, you

know why because that was fucking awesome. Man, But did you listen to the way she was. I'm gonna play it through back row back. Can you play the end of the clip. We have to play the thing because this thing doesn't have the functionality? Uh eight grand you can get the functionality. No, that's that would be the Google voice apple. Okay, al right back, just no, no,

my Katie Babs clip. I'm talking about Katie Babs. Katie Bab's so she's wrong about the way she says corn corn corn, and it looks identical to the Backstreet Boys album cover from way back in the nineties, and they recently posted a video of them trying to sing I wanted that way from the Backstreet Boys. I grew up boys, ob yeah man, Bitch was hilarious to see a metal band covering back Street Let's go surf dude, and to play them here in about four minutes with a throwback

but roback. She's a peer. I'm gonna throw up and throw back. Sorry. I think she really gets into character for octane. Do you think so? She's probably high. I'm Katie, Nice to meet you. Yeah, she's she probably speaks normally. She's a caricature and she's playing up that whole angle of that whole era of yeah Man music that where its like a bracelet with spikes on it, like like around hers to remind herself to be tough on the air. It's, you know, it's part of the costume. It's part of

what people do. It's the showman ship of it all. She's gonna read the Hall of Fame in ductees today in the rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Man, we got shoot this priesting and like Dolly Parton, she's not rock and roll. Man, we have this Adam sound. Madovino is a very good relief pitcher. He's played for a bunch of teams. Maybe he played for yours at one point, and he's now on the New York Mets. And uh, he was talking about him pitching poorly, and see if

you can catch what he said wrong. It's a common mistake. But just you know, the word should be bud, bud. Okay, play the clip. But I like the way have thrown the ball overall, Somenna focus on that, and you know I take a lot of pride and nipping these things in the button and you know, getting on a good streak the next time out nipping in the butt. That's common mistakes, so many people think it's but but I

like the way of throwing the ball overall. Some of focus on that, and you know I take a lot of pride and nipping these things in the button and nipping it in the butt. Uh So we're does nipping it in the bud come from? It's it's to you. You want to nip the flower before before buds. You want to get it at the bottom, before it has a chance to grow and blossom. You nip it in the bud, the bud stage, the bourgeoi, nip it in the bougeoir. But you don't nip it in the butt

unless that's what you're into. And it's your birthday. If you write, or you can take a nip out of someone's butt, or you can fill in the crack spackle, the crack spackle, the crack spackle, the crackle. Farmers, we have this farmer's dog. You wanted to recallack, Well, we didn't. We didn't play it. So if you guys remember, I don't know about a year ago, maybe we played a farmer's dog dog food commercial where the guy was like, dude,

you didn't new car to me. You have to feed the dog's food and then they're gonna poop, and now the dog's got good poops. You don't have that one anymore. I'm sure, by the way, you're doing an impression of me with a pet, because that's why I don't have a pen, because I forget to feed the dog. What you find this doesn't feed. I have to call the maintenance guy to come up and feed my dog. Let me see if I can find the original clip. But this is a new one. Now, this woman is another

Farmer's Dog commercial. I don't know if they deliberately have awful commercials so that you'll talk about them or you'll do them on your podcast. But this one, this one is the woman is talking about how excite did her dog is with the food right, except what she describes is when a dog is sick. Listen to the clip. I never thought twice about beating her kibble, but about two years ago and I realized she was overweight. She was always out of bread. That's when I decided to

introduce to the farmer's dog to her diet. It's just so fresh. But she literally gets bubbles in her mouth. Now she's a lot more active. Okay, when a dog gets bubbles in its mouth, it's rabies. I was gonna say, it isn't that a disease? Should you take him to the vet? Do not passcale, do not collect a hundred dollars. That's not that's not that's not what you do. It's not a good thing. When the dog's foaming at the mouth. It's rabies. You gotta get them like taking care of that.

The food that's terrible. Nope, feeded farmer's dog and all the problems go away. Oh God, alright, well, uh, coming up after this, we have to um, we're gonna play some about voicemails and when some talkbacks excited for those big time are you? Are you? I'm excited because you're you're excited that the sound quality is so good? Well on the talk backs they are we need some help with all right, but it's such a sound dorc you

know what it is? I think I don't know what it is, all right, it's it's easy on the ear rod, all right. So these two are voicemails that came in to the ABE seventy seven hot line. That's to one eight. F you ABE seventy seven. You could pick up your telephonic device and leave us a voicemail and we may or may not play it. Um. And here's uh, here's one of them. It's Mary code to one six. Let's

see what this person has to say. Garry Roadie me Blindie, j dan or Romero on air or Danny Romero, however you want to say, listen, I think that we should figure out how to come up with a system where when somebody who is a regional manager at a restaurant at some time can document when they make exceptions for people, so that if you come in a year and a half later, you don't have the same problem that Dave broke yet, all right, you don't have the problem where

you try to explain that you were gifted some gift cards because of people's fuck up, and then they go, well, that guy that don't work here anymore. There's no way that that should be allowed. There should be a documented system that says, hey, I granted this person three gift cards so that they could spend up to seventy five

dollars per our funk up. Just just an idea. I love you guys, Thank you, thanks J And we agree, and we both agree on that that is that is blind DJ Dan, if you remember, yes, be a fan of our show. Uh. And and he reads he has a machine that reads his text messages out loud um, which you know most phones do, but he has a device that puts it really loudly into his earphones whatever.

So I used to text him, hey, hey Dan, how are you doing and then like asterisk, exclamation point, question mark, hashtag, symbol, like all kinds of symbols, just to driving crazy. It was a good it was good support about it. It wasn't wasn't picking on him. He's like, that's funny, Brod area code eight four guys bring it. Uh in a while listening two fourteen and Uh Broke the guy that called the Saint Rocking Group or whatever the hell his

name was kind of scary. I don't know, it's a weird I think it's Trump anyhow scary this for you, buddy. You know I love you, but you've gotta let Brody's off this brand. We wait all weeks listen to those brands, and you're running them for real brands. Well you look forward to I know that I don't rush no no, no, no no no. Let me be bottle here. I don't.

I don't. I don't rush you through the rants. Let's translate, because I was a little First of all, the first part of that was he was talking about that guy. Rock and Steve, who left us a voicemail last week, were saying, Brody, I'm coming to you, I'm coming for you. It's coming after me. From from Westchester Rock and Steve Rock and Steve don't come after me. I like you. That was kind of scary, So that's what he was saying.

And then he said, well, well the guy, the guy Eric forward for said that he was maybe he was just drunk, so he wrote him off to be drunk a second part of that. Brodie, you know, you know, and and you You've got to just say it straight up. We have limited time to do this podcast, so if we want to get to everything, we got a budget our time properly. That's why, by the way, I'm so quick on the commercial button, because I know we need to leave long amounts of time for like a nice

rant at the end. Sometimes when Brody's got signed, Brody usually says, hey, heads up, I needed we need about ten fifteen minutes at the end of this because I I need to go off on this and we usually we a lot that time were possible, but sometimes, Brodie, be honest. Last you were in a rush last week. You had to get the funk out of here. In fact, you were late to your god damn appointment. You rushed yourself off the airy. Did you did? Did you did? My fault? It's my fault, and I'm not rushing you

do anything. This is an equal opportunity podcast. Scary doesn't rush me. He'll there are sometimes before we record, he'll say, don't do any rants today, don't have the patients that Sometimes he says that, No, I don't say that, and you know that I'm kidding, no speaking to speaking of rants, because I want to interject here while we're live in the moment, I got tweets from Danny nigullion N g u y e N. I'm I'm hoping I'm pronouncing it

right anyway. Danny says, I miss rants like this on episode to fourteen that was the the Dodge the Dodge problem where they did my unrest wrong. Uh more please? So I wrote back, are you wishing me to have a more miserable life than I have? Now? That in order for me to be to have a rant like that? I after By the way, you guys listen in order so I know you heard last week's episode. I got a text message Dodge would like me to fill out

a customer survey on my on my repair experience. Of course, I think I'll just send them the audio clip from our podcast. Then then that that's pretty telling of how you feel about the company area code six three one. Last voicemail, and then we'll go to a couple of nice, clean, three D sounding talkbacks, if that's even a thing for audio. Scary Brodie, scary, Brodie, Brodie, scary. I don't walk around with no damn change in my pocket. A pay with credit cards, and if I can't, the change is going

in the tip jar. If you don't have a tip jar, you do, now a few quarters of your nickels at your pennies if you've done and that person obviously heard, uh that I like to do what he does his team scary there um already the same guy from last week? Or is that? Is that an update? Or is that a guy agreeing with the guy from last week? Know that that was agreeing with the guy from last week. That's that was sent on Sunday afternoon. All right, look, you want to say a few pennies as much as

it hurts me, h, but few dimes and quarters? No, now, few penny listen, f you pennies, nickels and dimes. Quarters I'll take I'll take a fucking quarter because a quarter I could put somewhere. I went to the post office in my town the other day, actually in the next town over, and you have to pay for parking in front. There's no parking lot. And I was able to put a dime in the parking meter and get you know, six minutes for it. So I saved myself fifteen cents.

If I didn't have that dime, I would have to pay a quarter. So I'm saving money left and right. F you all all right, all right, now onto the talkbacks. Uh. This is a new feature, and I think this is gonna become and this is gonna grow with popularity as we go. Um, if you listen to this podcast on my Heart radio, the little microphone button there while listening to the podcast, you can click and hold that button down and leave us instant feedback. And it's usually in

some nice high quality sound. As you'll hear some of these, it sounds like they're right here in the moment. Can I ask a favor if you do listen to us on I Heart Radio on the I Heart Radio app, I'm scary give out the email address. Are are Brooklyn Boys email address? It's uh the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com. I would like you to make note whether or not you get an alert a drop down on your phone that says there's a new episode, not like in an email with like twenty other podcasts. Uh,

push notification, push notifications. He says, there's a new episode of the Brooklyn Boys. Now here's what I need in your email to us at the email address here is gonna give to you again the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com. Let us know. First off, you have an Android or an iPhone? Okay? And then are you getting regular weekly updates when we release an episode? And if so, that's the thing. The third thing is how long after we post? In other words, are you getting

it like a week later? Are you getting it like, uh the next day? Are you getting it within some time frame of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday when we record? Because I'm not getting any updates on my own damn podcast and it might be a problem. So I need emails from you guys verifying that you do or you don't, and what kind of phone you have that is correct. We need to know the phone because I don't think the androids are getting it. I think the high phones are because I get I get them every get every

other podcast I follow, I get alerts. Not the Brooklyn Boys. All right, so here we go. That's okay, that's that's important housekeeping. Let's see where do we The problem with the talkback feature on the back end is they don't tell you if it was played already. So let me just see if where I left off. It's not this guy. We played this guy right, Okay, it starts with this one here right now. I give scant a restaurant that's all made out Danny from Staten Island, apparently working in

the Amazon located inside a jet engine. Yeah, he said, Staten Island. I wonder if it's the unionized Amazon. There's one that they just they all they all got whatever it is. Hey, go to a quiet place when you're leaving us a talk back otherwise's gonna sound like that, Sorry, Danny, he said, He said, funk that restaurant he's referring to the one that wouldn't give you a table for eight right then. By the way, a lot of feedback on that. There's a lot of feedback. Brody and scary. This is

Keith checking in from Central New Jersey. I just want to say I love you guys. Keep doing what you're doing. I do h vase. I'm in my truck a lot. You guys came in through a lot of days. I appreciate you guys. Keep doing it all right, thank you. He does he does hvac. It sounds like he's in the event as once again. But he scary and he has a he's a good voice. He's very well spoken, like that high Scary and Brody, you guys are awesome. You guys make me laugh all the time, and I

love the big show and everything you guys do. Thank you for making us laugh every time I listened to all Right, I'll take that one now, or even you guys, Scary and Brody there, listen Scary. This is Deaz from Connecticut. Normally i'd say that you're a boogie basket, but I gotta I gotta admit the hostess on wrong man. I'm with Brody, should have spoke to a manager. You probably could have escalated it. It definitely gotten yourself that twelve top table. But there's a lot of logistics that go

into that, you know, in the restaurant biz. But I still think she was one wrong one or I should say two percent. Baby. I love her, she gets us and and she's referring to again. And by the way, this is more feedback on this coming up. Let me just reiterate, UH, they can only accommodate uh six people total. And then I made we had twelve party, twelve, six or six? So I did. I did six. My girlfriend did a reservation of six. And all we asked for

was that we were near by each other. The two tables happened to be adjacent when the reservation came, and they refused to accommodate me, even though I called six days in advance. It was last week they heard it. I want to make sure they heard it coming out. You did listen at all. I would expect that people listen in order. I don't. I'm not so sure they do. A reverse order is not the order we're talking about. Scary,

You are completely in the wrong. Why should a restaurant have to change their layout and they're set up just for you? How do you know the restaurant isn't set up that way every day and they don't have you know, they don't have people to move equipment around because you guys, I want to find little ways around the rules. Love the rules for a reason. I love you. I love

you anonymous. But you did not listen to everything I said, and I reiterated, and by the way, this is why I say things over and over to different ways, because people don't pay attention. I said, no, I'm not. I'm getting angry now. My damner's getting up because I clearly made two reservations of six and we were not asking I said this. We are not asking them to move any furniture. We weren't asking for any of the above.

All I wanted was to time it so that our two parties of six can be near each other in the restaurant. There is no reason why a restaurant that holds two hundred people at a time can't find a way in their floor plan of that day to figure out how two reservations coming in at can't be seated close by each other, or that is that is a product of laziness, because nobody wanted to do the quick unless unless, unless they have two tables that are around

that holds six people. And we had not near each other. We said this, and I reiterated again. Maybe you're the one that these your ears cleaned out, Brodie, I said, they have. We've I've seen the restaurant we take a look at the pictures online. There are plenty of tables of six, all near each other. This is it's not this pay attention, pay attention. That was like an Italian kid on Nable giving out his phone number. Trade to to four, six to four, My mom, God, what's this one? Okay,

Brody and Scary. I'm listening to the latest episode. I think it's to thirteen where Rock and Steve talking about a Brodie gives some stuff away for free is not going to kill you. Listen, Rock and Steve, get the funk out of here. It's not given away other people's money for free. And Brodie, don't be scared of some Jersey boy. I'm from Brooklyn, I'm from the Bronx. I got your back, Scary, stop giving away Brodie ship. Let me say something. We have the toughest women listening to it.

I love it. She'll kick anybody's ass. And by the way, they got bigger balls than me. Uh again, nothing against Rock and Steve. I'm just saying I'm pretty sure you from Westchester, not not New Jersey. That's two two voice notes on Rock and Steve and again, I again want to make me clear, except the fact he threatened me. I have nothing against Rock and Steve. It happens to be a very funny guy who's been d m NG and texting for years and he has a love for

radio and a lot of people. Just so you know, when Greg t left our show, Jersey Kidd left our big show three years ago, a lot of people, including Rock and Steve, suggested Rock and Steve be his replacement. That's when you know that, all right, So then Rock and Steve must have it going on somewhere. I think we have one more. By the way, this fucking system I have so many that have or it says audio not playable. It's a circle without triangle and an exclamation

point in the middle. It's it just won't load for something. It's like a squid game. So if you didn't hear yours, it's possible we didn't get it. Also, Scary paid more for his audience. Whenever we're gonna get our first in studio podcast. Hey, I see Brodie there, I see Scary Jones there. What's up with that? We can't schedule it? You're too busy to schedule podcast together? What? Thank you?

One fast? Kids? Do you want to respond to that David Brody because okay, yesterday, yesterday we were gonna do a podcast after the show I See the Bus Coming comes No, No, Scary had a post show sales meeting, had to go to a post Malone, had a postmlon yeah yeah yeah post Malon uh soon to be a father, and Scary could not do it in that time frame.

In fact, we were going to record with the band podcast the Bill, Bill and Sam Wedding podcast featuring producer Sam and or fiance Will We're about to be on the episode of that or Bill if you prefer otherwise be Wham podcast where I'm bam, thank you bammam man right, And wouldn't have time for that either. So and then today I had a commitment after the show today and I couldn't do it. So we're when it becomes a

five day a week thing, will work on it. We will, we are, we are, we will be getting back into the studio and we man. People listen to older episodes where you where we are together in the studio pre pandemic, and they hear these episodes where I'm begging you to do this and try this from home and you refuse, which is fucking hilarious. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. All right. So that's so that's the voice note situation. It's called the talk back feature. It's only if you

experienced the podcast through my Heart Radio. Click on the mic and you can while the podcast is playing, just send us, well well it's playing, send us a little feedback action. We would love to hear from you. Make make them brief, make them direct, to make them and also reference what you're talking about in the talk back would would be helpful as well. Yeah, and anyone who wants to take have my back and and uh stick

up for me, that's great. Anybody wants to threaten me please? Alright, alright, great. We gotta take a quick break here because I got I got a couple of customer service problems. I think it might make the people happy. And I have one thing that I'd like to bring up as well. After this the Boys podcast, we will be right back. I do you think scary? Do you think? Do you thing? Doom a thing? Let me do a thing. That's a great song. Um that is that boys to mend. It's

just a little this little funny doom a thing. Let me doom my thing. You got me you stump me on that one, Brodie, isn't that boy? That was? We're gonna show you how isn't that it? Yeah? Okay, all right? So okay is that Backstreet Boys? Right? That's back Boys? A quick a quick something, and and then and then and then something that I need your opinion on real quick. Actually need your opinion on both of these really, really really really. I don't like to give my opinion on things.

But you're a shy guy, You're you're an introvert. But so we were at the club the other night. We were getting turned at the club. As we've been saying a whole week on the show. It was it was my my girlfriend, Robbin's birthday, and we we had a great dinner with a bunch of our friends and then we went downstairs to go party at the club. Well, as we were going to the club, it was a full on frisking, you know, pat down, like wanding. They wanted us. They open up this fucking bag. What's in there?

And poor Robin's friend, Rita, I feel so bad. She she's on some medications, She has medications. She takes medication in the form of pills because that's what she's on, all right, whatever that it doesn't have to go further than that. But the bouncer opens up her purse with the searchlights. Is what's that? And then she goes, um, this is my medications and she says oh. He goes, okay, Um, well, I don't know what those are, so I'm gonna have to take them from you. She she goes, no, you're

not taking me. She goes, I I I need these. So then he goes, okay, well then then again take them right now, take them and she goes, I'm drinking right now, and I'm I'm not supposed to take them right now. So he goes up, sorry, then I need these. He takes them out of her bag, drops him at him, you let him, drops him on the floor, and he steps on them. The funk out of here. What are you talking about? It's not This isn't real her prescription drugs?

Wait a minute, were they in the little orange glass, orange plastic bottles? I don't know what they were in. Maybe they were in a bag. They were looking suss apparently and not allowed to bring Apparently you're not allowed to bring med's to the club. Or but okay, if you're gonna bring meds to the club. Why wouldn't you put them in your boyfriend's pocket, Like you know what I mean, not that she was doing anything wrong, but if she's got prescription meds, put him in a pocket.

It was my My jaw hit the floor and I was like uh, And then she was like, that's only a couple of a couple of pills, Like I have more at home, and fuck it, I don't care, you know, I'm And she didn't need to take them that night, so all right, But why didn't she just say, my boyfriend gave me her piece. I need that medication. That would have got the back the guy off, right. But yeah, anyway, you know, we we end up having a good night there.

But um, you know, even though you weren't the night before, though, I wanted to ask you about what your opinion is. I'm still upset about this guy crushing the pills. I want the money for the pills. Well that's between you and me. And yeah, now you throw dimes, nickels, thatsing, fetamine, ecstasy, all of it, throw it in the tip jar. I keep it, keep the change. I don't step on the change, but I throw it in the tip jar. Well whatever,

But but that's neither here nor there. The night before I was wearing a very what someone consider a very loud sweater, and um, I really wanted to get the who makes the sweater scared some Psycho Bunny, Psycho Bunny, Psycho Bunny. If you haven't seen Psycho Bunny logo, it's a giant. It's a bunny that looks like he's kind of cross sighted, maybe looks like he was taking some drugs in the clap. It looks like a stoned out,

fucking zoned out bunny. And this, you know, and that's the logo and they have them all over a lot of golf polos and things had a little insignia on the side of the tip, you know, the pocket tip, pocket whatever, Like, did you just say that? Did you say tis? Well? Yeah, you know, you know what was it? What was the one with the alligator that people had for years, the cost La cost la cost so that similar thing there. But I was wearing this little bunny

logo front and center. It was huge on this orange sweater. It was an orange sweater with the bunny from the Psycho Bunny. People know it well. I had my friend posted the picture and of some of course out of touch people that didn't know what a psycho bunny was, like, what the fund is scary wearing? Hey man, did you lose a bet? So? So there was that, okay, and then uh then and that was one and I went back and I'm like, oh, sorry, your your you know,

your fashion sense stopped in. But psycho bunny is a thing, and okay, why are we why are we shirts shaming people? And why what's age appropriate? And whatever the case. So the short of it is Greg T, the Jersey kid who I wanted to have on this podcast, but I know you don't. I'm just speaking for the people. Go on, all right, this is what he sends me the other day. Hey man, what the fuck was that red sweater you wore to Butcher's Block? Did you? He writes, did you

lose a bet? Was that a joke? This is a second person, now, gret T s this is a second person that came into my life asking me in the same fashion too, but but in typical Greg T. I'll spare you him being live on the phone. I'll just transcribe you chose to wear that, no joke? Look at this pick. You don't see it. Everyone is dressed normal, and then you with that ridiculous psycho body sweater and it's bright red. You stand out like a red traffic light.

All mature adult men at a steakhouse, mind you, the best in the Try state, and you embarrass me. The owner knows I know you, and you, Oh, they're dressed like that. How embarrassing. I'm gonna tell Tommy and Patting the owners not to speak to you anymore, and then I'm not affiliated with you in any way. So embarrassing. Not one of the guy at that table has a stupid bunny on their shirt, not one. You don't see it. You're dressed like the energizer bunny, and you weren't embarrassed.

Not a single guy at your table, just like a fucking fool like you, not one. I bet your door guy at your apartment laughed his ass off when you walked out of the elevator. Would you be a smash hit at a three year old Easter bunny party? And things are old? Things are only fashionable if weren't correctly, You weren't embarrassed yourself and embarrassed everyone around you. Your girlfriend is telling people you broke up because of that picture.

You look ridiculously funny. Both both your friends, all your friends. They're mad at you, but you don't even you got lied to. They said you look good. They lied that you looked daily. You looked funny. You look like you lost your luggage in an airport and how to buy at the convenience Walmart store and you put a shirt on the last minute. People are lying to you, lose those friends stopping you. You stupid and you're wearing yeasies, ja ja? Yeasies. Can't hold your legs up? You fat?

You're fat, piggy legs don't deserve to be in yeasies. Your pants are so long, you look like a nine nineties skater punk. At some point during the meal, you didn't say to yourself, Man, do I feel fucking stupid out here? I'm the only one dressed here looking like this? Is everyone looking at me? This explains it. Did Elvis Elvis make fun of you for that? Ja ja ja? Did he rip you the easies? Ja ja ja? There

was so much awkwardness to your outfit. By the way he said all that without me responding ones and in separate word bubbles too, you would have blocked him by he sends a hundred text messages. He doesn't do one long text. He'll go bub send, but send send. So I just want to leave it right there. What is J J ja? What am I missing with his fat finger? Didn't hit the h It's supposed to be ha ha ha.

By the way, in Spanish, I've seen some Spanish cultures they say ja jaw instead of ha ha ha like ha no no, no, no, how they spell it with a J because the J is right, but great tea is nowhere near Spanish. He's fat finger hit the wrong button anyway, the air. Whatever My point is, is there really such a thing as age appropriate clothing? Aren't we beyond that? Not for you, not for you? But everybody else said, I gotta be honest with you. It sort

of looked like an ugly Christmas sweater. Okay, thanks, you're not helping the sit instead of like a garden gnome. J John Job Banks, John, I like John Job Banks better like that sweater. It's Star Wars Day, so I'm gonna talk about John job Banks. Say hey, may the fourth be with you all right? By the way, Margaret Thatcher, look up Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of Britain, and you'll see where May the Fourth be with you from? Yes, it was. It was in a newspaper. It was a

newspaper ad in nineteen seventy nine. That's correct. You looked it up as well this week. I guess sure did. I wanted to know where me the Fourth came from? All right, so look that up. But that's basically the gist of it. It's a British thing anyway. I I gotta be honest with you. I cannot top that. Um, the slaughter was ugly. I'm dropping the mic. I'm done. Hold on you. What about your rint? Nope, that's the best. That's the best thing I'm gonna come up with today.

You gotta give the slices what they want. They want to just did no you I got you? Just did that was for not that was that was awesome. That was awesome. I'll give you a short one. I'll give you a shot one. My my wife, my my daughter was in from Europe and my my wife bought UH two tickets for the two of them to go together, mom and daughter day to go see UH Chicago on Broadway. And they bought the tickets through a very good company a third party company. I'm not gonna mention the name

of the company that sells Broadway tickets. Usually it may be a discounted price, but they always have seats available, or a great company. I'm not gonna disparage them. However, my daughter got sick that morning and she was very iffy on whether she would be able to go not go. They were I don't know, I can't go. By the time she felt better, the show had started, it was too late for them to go. So my wife says,

we're out the money. What are you gonna do? And it was you know, it's like a hundred and fifty dollars, that's your wife speaking. She's like, it's just the play started. We didn't go to the play where we knew. So I said, I'll call them and get the money back. It must have been shaken, but she says she knows. She's just to me. No. It says strictly in the rules on the website already checked. It says once the show starts, there are no refunds, no exchanges, nothing. What

were you What were you to do? Brodie? So I said, I said, listen, listen, that's that's not a thing. I will get the money back. You can't get the money back. She's getting a little like annoyed that I'm even like suggesting it because she knows the rules. And I get that. She's like, you know, listening to me. I'm telling you, these are the rules. You can't get your money back. I said, please get let me, let me call, give me the account, give me the give me the receipt whatever,

forward me to email the confirmation email. I'll get it done. She's, look, I know you're good, but not you can't. You can't. This is not a thing. You can't because somebody was an empty seat, they lost the money. You can't get the money back. And I'll listening to me, and I said, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. This is the first time ever did this, scary, I said. I said to my wife. I said, listen, I will give you no. Look, yes, we we share a bank account. But I said, I'm

gonna give you fifty dollars. Do whatever you want with it. I'm gonna give you fifty dollars at at uh my Brooklyn boys merch money because that comes in separate, right, that's not in my paycheck. I said, that's extra money, and we put it in an account to say for rainy. Guy said, I will give you fifty dollars. I'll give you a fifty dollar bill, okay, And if I can't get the money back, you keep the fifty dollars. And if I get the money back, you get fifty dollars.

I'm I'm betting on myself. I'm i'm, i'm i'm draft kings my own ass. I am, I'm points betting myself, not sponsors. I I am Parlay and David Brody, and I'm I'm betting fifty that I can get you back your money. So she made me give it the fifty dollars. So that day, which was a Sunday, I called and I spoke to you, paid her in advance, knowing you were gonna get this money back. YEP, I went, I went, I went. I got fifty dollars. I had money in my in my my dresser, a little cash, you know,

emergency money. I said, here you go. I called Keith. I got Keith on the phone from the ticket place, and Keith says, man, I'm sorry, man. He's like a dude, right, he's I'm sorry, man, I can't I can't help you. That's the rule. There's none I can do. The show already started and it's it's probably like two thirds over. I go, my daughter is sick. I can't just know other day she can go. She lives in Europe. At the moment, she's going to school. I can't. I can't

do anything. She's sick. What are you gonna do? We didn't get we didn't go. Yeah, once the once it starts, Man, you can't I go. I tried calling you before it started, and you didn't answer. Well, we got a lot of calls. I said, that's your fault. Let me speak to supervisor. No, no, supervisor on the weekends. Man, you knowning you can do? I said, I Keith A right, Keith, I'll call after weekends. So I hang up. My wife says, you didn't do it, did you? I said, it's a Sunday. Give me weekday staff.

I will get weekday staff. And by the way, just a note here, weekday staff always takes care of the problem. Weekend staff barely takes care of the problem every time. Right. So I called back and I get Edgar, and I said, Gar, I tell him the problem. My daughter Europe sick the whole thing. He's like, you know, that's on a policy. I said, Oh, I spoke to Keith this weekend and he said you should be able to help me. Oh yeah,

So he says, I I can't. I don't know. I have you got a supervisor there, like how you put words in Keith's mouth? Yeah, yeah, you got a supervisor I can speak to if you can't do it. So then uh, he says, why I I see if I get somebody, so I speak a supervisor. Supervisor says, yeah, it's a policy. You can't do it. Can't help you. I can't do it. M h. So I I have Uh, I have a former intern that works on Broadway. I got some names. I got people who worked for the company.

She knew a guy. So I called back. Now it's the third day. Now it's Wednesday. I called back. I get I get a supervisor on the phone. I'm dropping names. I'm dropping Keith, I'm dropping Edgar, I'm dropping everybody dropping acid. So the guy says, puts me on hold. He comes back. He goes, all right, listen, we don't normally do this. We're gonna make an exception. Because apparently he spoke to a lot of people, and I feel bad. Your daughter is sick. So we're gonna take care of it. Hey,

we'll refund it right to your wife's account. Not a problem, boom, she said. In fact, you should have it in the account already. Thank you so much, sir, thank you. So I called my wife at work. I go pull up the account. She's your son of a bitch. I owe you fifty dollars. Yes, yes, you'll do. Because you doubted me. You doubted me. You don't doubt me. You don't doubt me. So listen, lesson learned. Your wife shouldn't have faith in you,

whoever you are in life. You your spouse should have faith in you, especially if she listens in the podcast, which she doesn't. And never trust weekend staff and staf never. And thirdly, even if the rules stated, there's a way around the rules. So even if it's written in stone. To me, that's the biggest takeaway most people once they see the rules, like, I'm fun they got me legally.

Even if they legally have you, doesn't matter. You could still speak to weekday staff and maybe they'll bypass the rules. I have a similar story about United Airlines and the same thing. And I got my money back for a flight, so and that that's a whole other story, but anyway, exact same thing. Rules are rules, but we say rules schools. I love that rules are smalls, Rules are small boys boys eight
