#220: Nice House Ya Got Here, Mr. Gorilla

catch up. Well no, no no, no, no, hold on a second, listen to this episode. First the rules. Yeah, well, let's let's welcome the audience now, and then there's gonna be some things they might hear that It's like, wait a second, what do they mean by that? Is that an inside joke? I don't understand. And let me tell you who doesn't

listen to our podcast. Today we were swarmed on the other straight morning show with tech messages from people who clearly do not listen to the Brooken Boys podcast because somehow our morning show was talking about the expression break a leg and where does the expression come from? And we must have gotten thirty tweets, tweets, thirty text messages from people saying, you know it means you want to be part of the cast. That is not what it means.

And we've established covered that on this podcast. So it tells me that all of those people need to be informed. They need to listen to the Brooken Boys podcast because they would be so listen. Of the thirty one person wrote back, a bunch of people wrote back, thank you, I learned something today. Thank you. That's great because I sent them links, you know, telling them what it means and where it comes from, or at least one of

the more important theories of where it comes from. And one person wrote back, no, you're wrong, Okay, you go on in life and think that that's what it means. Yeah. Uh. And by the way, as we sit here doing this podcast, our friends Sam from the elves Duran Big Show, she's with her fiance William and their dog at our favorite pizza place, LM. Beachmoney Gardens in Brooklyn, and had they go there without telling us bringing a spa pizza. Well, I you know, I hope she didn't break the cardinal rule.

Cardinal rule is you order the fucking square, you don't get the round pie. There, I got a different with you a little bit. The square is while you go there. The square is life changing, the sicilian or the square, whichever you want to call it. But the round is not while you go there. But it is also a perfect New York slice of pizza. It is a just a perfect here it is plain slice of pizza. And that is the epitome of old school New York pizza. Well, I texted her and I said, Sam, I said, I

hope you're eating square pie. They're not the round. Don't do it. Don't make the trip just for this, just for the round pie. And she goes, are you kidding me? Scary? I have a tattooed on my ass practically that you come for this where the squares where it's at all? Right? That I did want to shout out Brandy Rodkowski, who amazingly on Twitter is at Brandy Rodkowski. I don't know. I don't know how our Brandy got that. She writes

to all of us. Because just a reminder, we were on and you guys listen in order you know, we were on the BAM Wedding podcast with Sam and Bill, Bill and Sam or Sam and William Williams, Sam and uh Brandy wrote listen to it just for y'all. That means you and me. Um, although um, it's hard to decipher who y'all is because she wrote it to me, you and the other two guys from their podcast Listen to it just for y'all, and I'm hooked. Brodie gives

actual real life advice Scary. I love you, you boogie bastard. I'm gonna have another wedding, and I invite you. I'll invite you just for the gift, because Scary is a big gift giver. Some people, Uh, some people were in

tears with laughter. Apparently, we we we killed we crushed it a good episode, well we you know, listen, we have a nice rapport with Sam normally, and uh, it was nice to do a podcast with Bill William And by the way, for those that didn't know, that's that's that's steam room steam room will that's the guy who working rubbed it, worked out Scary and rubbed them up and down in the sauna. Yeah, that guy's all muscle. You know, they see that human body has two six

muscles and six bones. Uh, you can see pretty much all of them. That guy has got so much definition. I'm like, oh, that's what they all are. Yeah, I don't have one in that area, or I do, but you can't find it. Yeah, it's under this somewhere. Layers of fat anyway, eating too much Spoony Garden's pizza. So yeah, uh, we have some things that we want to get to today that are just I don't know, just some odds and ends. And I'm starting to feel summer Brody. I

don't know about you. Well, you and I are now officially in shorts attire. Yeah, I'm all shorts all the time. Yeah. You can't get me in jeans anymore, and pretty soon they're not gonna fit me. And you know that's the crazy thing, because when I leave second quarters, Scar, I leave those jeans in the closet. When I come back towards the end of the third quarter to you know, in in fall, those are a little little little tight

on me. At that point, I'm like a little boy, Yeah, a little bit, because what a difference three months of the summer makes. But now, yes, I mean my my comfy shorts every single day with T shirts that smell like the beach. Well, I have I have a clothing dilemma. Maybe you can help me with and don't say Brooklyn Industrial. So my wife and I now that the pandemic has mostly subsided in New York and everything's open up again and Broadways open. We've been going to a fair amount

of Broadway shows. And I told you. We went to see Take Me Out, which is where you can see Penis, And we went to see Harry Potter, and this weekend, this past weekend, which I'll talk more about in detail. On Friday night, we went to see Come from Away. Scary Eye. Bawled the whole time. My mask was on because it's required, and I was using my mask to sop up the tears of the emotion. Anal wreck that this this show made. Why you know what I want to put myself through. That it's a great show. It

really is good. But if you don't know what Come From Away is about, I'll give you this short version of it. On nine eleven, the nine eleven, not the anniversaries. On nine eleven, two thousand one, when they grounded every plane in America, they grounded twenty two airplanes. I think it could be twenty one. Don't tweet me. I think it was roughly twenty two airplanes in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada, which is an island off the northeast coast called and the airport in a city called Gander,

population roughly seven thousand people. They landed planes with about seven thousand people on them, and the town of Gander took in twenty two planes, overloaded their airport and basically

double the size of their town. And the people of Gander, if you don't know the story, took in all of the people from the airplanes on nine eleven, gave them, brought let them live in their homes, donated food, cooked for them, treated them like family for the five days that they were there because they couldn't get off, They couldn't leave, the planes were grounded, and it was it's an island. It was just and it's so remote that it's like a twenty hour ferry ride, car ride, boat

ride to get back to anywhere kind of civilization. So the play is about the people of Gander and the people on the planes, and you know, me being a New Yorker and living through one eleven, it's very emotional for me and watching this amazing show about these amazing, incredible people. You just ball, you just it took about thirty seconds into the show, and I was just my wife and I were just balling people in the theater.

I get you could tell who the New Yorkers were and who they weren't, because the New Yorkers were just like weeping. But it's fun and it's funny, and it's it's it's the songs are great. It's just such an uplifting show. But it's also a tear jerker. Saturday, Saturday, we went to see The Hangman, The Hangman, which I gotta tell you about later anyway, So here's my dilemma. We're going to see We're going out to dinner tomorrow night, Thursday. Now.

On Saturday, I wore I've been dressing up for Broadway shows and We've been going to a really nice restaurants and I've been wearing you know, dress pants and a dress shirt, you know, trying to look good. She actually put some effort into it. I put some effort in you. I'm dressing up for the wife, you know, and my wife's been dressing up. And so on Saturday, she wore like a sun dress, very summary, very cute. Uh loved it on or told her immediately, and like love that

on you. You look adorable. You know it look great. So here's my dilemma. We're going out tomorrow for a nice restaurant, not excruciatingly nice because we've been to those, but like nice, nice, like nice, really nice. And then we're going to another Broadway show tomorrow night. But it's a nice, nicer than Applebee's nice. Yeah, So if it's maybe, maybe I want to say no, no, no no. On Saturday, we went to a restaurant that's a nine and a half,

really nice, all right. I think we're going to like a seven and a half, maybe a seven and a half, all upscale Italian restaurant. I don't know how my wife's gonna dress. She's coming straight from work. Where's your dilemma. My dilemma is it's gonna be eighty degrees in Manhattan. Do why can I wear a nice pair of shorts and a short sleeve dress shirt. No? You do do jeans and a short sleeve dress shirt. Call it a day, all right. You don't need anything more than shorts. A

button down, short sleeve button down is fine? Oh? I know. But she gets to her sun dress and be cool about it. I don't get to wear shorts. Huh, I get no, I don't think you wear shorts to a play. I think that's where I draw the line. I do think that we overall, we're dressing like slobs more and more for Broadway shows, places like well, think think about this going to you know, taking a plane. If you

take a look at like people flying places. Back in the seventies and sixties and eighties, they were full on suits, it was like, and now people just go to baseball games and suits. They where the Lulu lemon, like whatever's comfortable. They wear their fucking pajamas, you know it. In fact, is this great viral video going around about women. Women get dressed up every Saturday night and go to clubs

and restaurants looking like this. And if you see them all beautiful and sexy and their wonderful dresses, and they put like hours of effort in to meet guys like this, and it's a dude with a baseball cap, a fucking champion T shirt and jeans and and and and sneakers, and because that's what they wear. You know, people don't get dressed up for clubs anymore either, and and bars and stuff like that. And I know this sounds like an old man conversation back in mid day. But but

the fact of the matter is true. It's true even ten twelve years ago, when we would me and my friends would go to clubs, we put a little my friends and I we put I put like, you know, a little sports jacket on my with with industrial with T shirt and jeans. But at least I put I tried, Oh, let me throw something over this T shirt. Now they just say, funk the jacket putting. I'm keeping a T shirt and that's it. You get a T shirts all

you get. Well. At this restaurant Saturday, where everyone's dressed up, they were women that looked like they walked out of like the Kardashian's house, that like glittered short like spaghetti strap glitter dresses, were like really fancy dresses like evening like like you know, cocktail hour dresses. And some shlub walks in down the giant staircase at Boudhaican. I'll talk more about Boudhan later, that's the name of the restaurant. Um he's wearing like shorts and a golf T shirt.

He looked like he was like he'd walked out of the mall, like you can't go to a restaurant like that, dress like that terrible with like dirty sneakers. Come on,

it's a very like it's an expensive place. And I will, well, this conversation could be let me stopped down and say, this conversation could be foreign to half of our audience, because you may live in a town where it's just common to just be extremely casual when you go out to eat in a restaurant for some reason about that for some believe me, I'm more comfortable that way too.

It's just for some reason these New York City places, you gotta you gotta try just a little bit, but apparently not too much anymore, because everyone's walking around with T shirts and jeans in the bars. By the way, when you when you when a person says, and you said, and I'm not picking on you, but when you said, there's a viral video going all over the place. That's redundant, right, it is redundant viral video everywhere. I just not I'm not correcting you. I'm just asking like that, I guess

technically would be yea. So on the just on the subject of seeing a sad play or seeing a sad movie, for some reason, I don't know why, you know. And I don't watch much TV. I don't really get into too much Netflix. I don't really go the rest of the rooftop restaurants and two clubs Duck Club declare getting turned to declare, uh, you know, I'll say this. I don't want. I don't like spending my time watching things that make me sad and cry. As entertaining as it is,

I just don't. I don't find joy in being sad, like if I'm gonna if I'm going to watch a TV show or a movie, or go to a show of a Broadway show. I wanted to enhance my good time with a lot of laughs, so agreed. So I wouldn't choose to go see Dear Evan Hanson or Come from Away or places like this, you know, shows like this because I feel like I want to. I'd rather be entertained. And I don't know, and I don't know. Maybe it's a shallow guy. I was gonna say, someone

call that shallow. I don't think Come from Away as a sad sping, of which I didn't watch Stars Born because there was so many sad crying moments. I didn't watch it well. I don't watch. I don't watch difficult to watch, like, I would never watch this as US. I don't need that in my life. So I from what I gathered, that series is just a week after week of crying. Correct. Yeah, Oh it's like, oh, somebody texted in a couple of weeks ago. This was a don't go into work the next day kind of episode.

I don't I want to watch. I'm gonna watch Obi Wan Kenobi and I'm gonna sit there and cheer. I'm not gonna I don't need to watch Schindler's List and watch you know people get dislaughtered. It's just not me. Yeahs and that, but it's a very important film. I just I'd rather watch a comedy and then and I'll add action to that. Yeah, I like to see some action. I like car chases. I like well, I'm from Away as an uplifting show, I'm saying as a New Yorker

who lived through on eleven. It hits an emotional course, but it's not a It's it's an uplifting play that there are moments that get you emotional, but it's definitely worth seeing. It's a good it's a great show. I'm going to see a comedy tomorrow night, which I'll tell you about later. But uh, that's Mr Shadowy Night the list on my list, but not the next show I'm gonna see. Can I talk to you? I never leave from cleaning up from last week. I have to I

never told you about the guerrillas of Rwanda. No, you keep telling me, I'll tell you about the girls of Rwanda. I'll let you know. I promised right after that, alright with body and Scary. Remember last week I told you that I went out to dinner where it was me and and and all down by the client and his wife and his his kid in his mid twenties, and we got into this most fascinating conversation. Some people get

the privilege of having vacations in Disney World. Others go to other continents and go travel the Serengetti and go to places in Africa. I mean, whatever it is. I mean obviously this client that they're they're very well off, and they you know they must be, but they get to go on these vacations. This is a vacation I will never see in my life. They somehow found themselves on African safari and then they end up as as

one does. They end up in Rwanda and they go with a tour guide in a park ranger or something, and they wanted to go and see the silver back families of I guess gorillas. Apparently there's like three families left. Now. I said, well, what do't you mean families? Oh, Brodie, they are families, these guerrillas. They are literally literally a group of families where there's a father, a bunch of a bunch of moms, and a whole lot of babies. Yeah, it sounds like Nick Canna, only because he's got like

a hundred kids with the story that just came out right. Well, Nick Cannon's had a lot of this. So in this case, the apparently it's a very careful walk. First of all, you have to go find them, Okay, so now you're you're going through these areas I guess of the jungle wherever it is. And then you finally the park ranger has to actually almost invite himself and ingratiate himself in

with the father gorilla. This is what I was told. Apparently, this gorilla, a the dad, is a huge It's like ten eight to ten ft tall, it's like six ft wide. It is the most massive thing and within and by the way, if it get it's angry and you're in front of it, you're dead. You're done. But apparently the gorilla knows how to communicate with the park ranger. So there's the bear. There's fifty there's fifty vocabulary words that are common that the the park ranger knows how to say.

That's the language, and then he understands it. So what they do is what you kill the story you're being told. You're being told this story. I don't haven't been there, but I'm fascinated by the fact that you have to go one by one, you know, and you the park ranger says to the father gorilla, I have a guest that would like to come and see and and hang out.

Is that okay? And then they lead, They do body language, and they they say a few vocabulary words back and forth with each other, and they invite the park ranger in with his first guest. They keep in mind there's ten twelve more people that are on tour in safari right behind him. You go in, you sit down, you don't look anyone in the eye. Do you bring Danish? Do you bring like a you bring in to me in you but apparently you sit there and then you you have the eaty permission, and then then you go

back again and you say, I have another guest. And it sounds like where my teenage daughter brings her friends home. Look one at a time. Yeah, no, I have to like talk to them, make sure I'm cool with them. Right, Well, this is Yeah, you're the dad gorilla. But imagine after the course of several minutes, you've now gotten everybody into

this this gorilla's nest, they call it a nest. And you're sitting there and you're just hanging out, and you don't make sudden moves, you don't show your teeth, you don't look them in the eye. And there's a lot of female guerrillas, there's one male, and there's all a lot of babies, and they're playing around and you're just hanging out and you're having an experience. I'll never see this. I'll never ever get to see this. Not gonna go what happens if I sneeze? What happens if I smile?

The girl that made me laugh and I smile and he see thinks he sees my tea yea, not only as a sign of aggression. Not only is he a giant gorilla. Not only are you in his nest, but his women and his babies are there. Yes, could he ever be in a more protective mood? Then? Right then and there, that was the next thing. I was gonna if I'm wearing shorts and he thinks I she's wearing jeans in a dress shirt, and he's like, I heard,

I heard. By the way, this is one of the most rare and highest things that you can do for like the most sought after thing. Apparently they booked these things years in advance, and it's so expensive you have to like fucking take a second mortgage out in your house or whatever. You know who goes you know who does these things? You know? Yeah, but okay, But but the point is that I'm not that world, but my father. The old question is do I want to be? Would

I ever? Let's say it was given all the money in the world, say, scary, here you go, here's fifty. The boogie part of you wants to do it because it's exclusive. The scary part of you is is afraid. And that's not scary. The scary because you would not you you would be torn literally by the either by the guerrilla or your emotions, because it would be like it would be like going to a club where you the odds of you getting beat up were pretty high, but it was a really good club. Yeah, because that

was the thrill of it all. Um. Now, apparently this family that the sun was talking to me, he goes, he's the guerrilla family son, which is family. Then the client, he said, I gotta say, scary. It is obviously the It is the sickest thing I've ever done, I will do in my lifetime. Um, but I was scared shitless the whole time. So would you pay that amount of money to be scared that much? I don't know. I mean,

maybe I'm shortsighted. Maybe you know. This is the dumb part of me where it's like, you know, I don't, but I don't. I'm pretty street smart and I know. And listen, this girl again, you don't get a second chance this thing. If this beast wanted to come at you, you're done. There's nowhere to run. You are. So So

here's the definitive question. I have to ask you to what decide whether or not you would go the guerrillas nest where he lives do they provide bottle service, because then you would go if there were sparklers in the bottles and the female grillas are walking around with the bottles, you would consider going. You're awful, You're awful. I'm curious as the day is long. I'm like, imagine being there like and communicating it literally is communicating with I guess

a prehistoric version of man. I I suppose. I don't think it's prehistoric. Be is that entitled that? And that that means prehistory? It's it's it's not this, yeah, but I look, I know he evolved from some form of monk, the ape gorilla. I'm not a scientist, So don't one of them, right, not neither one of us, by the way, and my facts maybe a little one of us less than than the other. But I I listen, they're very

bright creatures. But also you listen, how we've we've read stories of monkeys like the regular like monkeys, like the three ft tall monkeys that people have owned that have people's faces off. They're volunteers. There's a dude, there's a there's an orangutang video out right now, and rangutang is in a cage, and you know, they have that really long arms. So some dude was like about to walk

away from the cage. The rang tang grabs his fucking T shirt through the cage really quick, pulls him at the cage and would not let go of the kid. And then and then the kid wants to leave. He's pinned up against the outside of the cage while the orangutang is on the inside of the cage. And you could just see the sheer power that this orangutang has

and it's grabbed gripping his fucking leg. Would not he Another person came to try to get I don't even know how the video ends because it just cuts off. I'm like that they inconvenient. That's not a good sign. So it's all over the place. In fact, if I want people to get the funny tap, go to the funny take on this. You know, there's this guy, Blake Webber, who does voiceovers of videos of animals in the wild, Blake Webber and and and he does the voiceover of

what the orangutang is saying. And it goes well as the kids leaving, and and the guy put the kuld, the orangutang pulls his T shirt he goes, get the funk over here, and he's doing all his voiceovers. You should actually play it into the microphone. It's actually very funny. What kind of zoo allows you to get so close to an orangutan that that it can grab your shirt? And who would turn their back? You back away from them? You don't turn around and walk away, Like why would you?

Why would Why isn't their offence? Why can you? If the orangutan can reach him, that means he could have reached into the cage. That's terrible. Well that can't be America. I don't know where. I don't know where it is, because completely, if I'm being completely honest, this is my worst nightmare. I'm like, what if you get just too close to a cage and the animal just really quickly lunges with his arms to the to the fucking bars like the rangatan did and grabs you And this this

actually happened here. Well that's why if you're not on your shirt, it's just it long without get back, bitch. I'm stick here watching the catch and like I was like, right now, but you can have talco about and I gotta be a guy. Damn puking bullshit. They don't you kick me, motherfucker' I gonna take this okayn legs and I'm gonna ryle and dude, yeah, that's right, I'm gonna and there's nothing you can do. By the way, you

have to see. You have to the video because this this guy and this kid is screaming in agony and the motion that's at Blake Webber on Instagram, but they sounded like Cartman for a second. It's a that's my leg. That is what Blake Webber does in all of his videos. He does voice He does voiceovers like that that's his that's his voice that he uses, has put on voice. But it's a very serious, dramatic video and it's almost

like hard to laugh. It's like, oh my god, it's this is the most uncomfortable laugh I'm having because you know, this guy is put a funny voice over over a very serious video. Again, this kid's leg could have gotten ripped off and and and it cuts off in the middle of nowhere. So I want to know how that video even ends. I mean, it ends with the monkey like literally hugging the kid's leg from outside. The kid

turn around, he grabbed the front of his shirt. Yeah, and then yeah, but then the kid got Now why wouldn't the kid just fucking lose the shirt and be like, take the shirt off and run away. I don't know, but I swear to God. Once he got hold of the kid's leg, and it was they had the kid's leg up against the fucking bar. The kid's legs outside and he's got both arms, both arms outside the leg and the leg he's got, he's got, he's got both his arm Only ship you watching, I'm watching it? What?

What the fuck? So somebody wrote, oh my god, this chimpanzee is out of control. Well, it's not a chimpanzee, and I think it's it's an orangutan. I don't know what. Well, it's orange. And this person wrote, this is my worst fear. See that's bullshit, that's bullshit. Your worst fear, Your worst fear is not to be standing by an orangutan cage and getting pulled towards the cage. You did not wake

up before you saw this video. And if somebody said, what's your worst fear, you're like, you know what, being at a zoo and I'm in a white shirt with jeans and orangutan that's bullshit. That's not your worst fear. I'm gonna call this person out. It's called figure of speech. Let the guy have his moment on Instagram. It's an Instagram. Then just say, oh my god, that's you want to fight? Do you do that? You jump into the thread? Yes? Yeah, right, yeah, yeah. I want you to see. I want to see you

write it. Okay, hold on right now, what do you my worst fear? Hold on? Oh no, hold on, you're that guy and you tube. You you light the fires in the comments, you write them back. We'll take a break, we will be right back. What did you do? Well, I'm still writing, Oh yeah, why do you jump? Why do you impart yourself in on conversations and comment threads

on Instagram, on YouTube? Why do you do that just to get yourself like more aggravated, because they're only gonna come at you, bro, They're only gonna he's not even paid attention your laser focus because you're correcting their figure of speech. It's a and they just you've never heard that before. That's my worst fear, universal saying that. No, So I just left a dick comment. I wrote, so if all the awful things that could possibly happen to you. Murder,

shock attack, your eyes ripped out. This is the worst. Man. I just want people to speak English. I just you know what I mean, like be creative. Oh my god, I have nightmares about monkeys or you know, you're not here to save the world. It's not your role. It's not well, I'm here to be a dicks and I'm on the podcast. That's what I'm doing. Then that's you. You're not You're not any better than any of the rest of what I'm on there. But speaking of being a dick, I want can I read a couple of

Facebook posts? Oh, just to wrap up that last conversation, Yes, um, do I want to come face to face with monkeys? Uh? No, thanks, even if it's free, Probably don't want to do that. Won't be doing that because of orangutan cages like that one, and you know, going to their tribal nest and what if we you know, there's miscommunication there and they that I want to bang their wife. Okay, so I would agree with you. There's no way we'll get right. There's

no way we're doing the gorilla nest thing. But the the video of the I don't know what that is it doesn't look like a zoo. It looks like like a private thing, like where you can go and look at animals, because that's not safe, all right. So, um, this was sent to me by Ilia Lord of Enjoyment on Instagram. So this person wrote, um, it was the original question. Oh here it is. Somebody posted I hate onions. Oh Ilia wrote this. Uh, they posted on Facebook, i

hate onions. Corrab Is Italian. I'm going there for dinner. Are there visible onions in the sauces or no? Looking for info only from folks who have dined there? Asterisk okay. Nick wrote, well, I'm gonna throw a wrench in your question. No, I have not eaten there because they put onions in their sauces. You will find onions at all of the American franchises, So Wendy writes, I'm sure there are, so Illier writes. I specifically wrote, folks who have dined there not.

Let's have a discussion about your opinions and speculations. Okay. On Facebook, there's a makeup company my wife likes, and they have there from London. They have a London Facebook page, so I wrote on their I made a most on their Facebook page in London, because in London all of the sales and promotions are in pounds right, all of the sizes are in metric. So I said, do you have an American Facebook page? I can't find it? Thanks, They wrote back, we have a Facebook page for every country.

Feel free to d m U s if you have any more questions. Why did they tell you what it was? Yeah? So I wrote back, So why not just respond with the link? Yeah, to which they which they to which they wrote back, Um, here is the link, they wrote back, eventually the link. But why couldn't you just tell me? Okay? So, in what are the town's Facebook pages I belonged to? Somebody wrote I just bought a trampoline for my kids. Can somebody recommend someone to put it together? Who they

have worked with before? Okay, very specific, that's a very specific ask. Ron Charles wrote, how are someone it's a pain. That's an opinion that is not a fact. They're not providing factual information. They're not helping you answer your question. They wrote, hire someone, it's a pain. Thanks. So I wrote, that's literally what she's asking recommendations for. Then someone, and then he wrote, anyone on here that is handy enough.

She's asking for recommendations of people that you have hired in the past that you can recommend, and and Ron wrote, hire someone it's a pain, and he wrote anyone on here that is handy enough. Thanks fucking genius. That's very fucking helpful. People. People are just dumb overall. You're not gonna get rocket scientists in comment threads for any forum.

It's unfortunate that you A lot of times, all it does is create a mess or an argument, and then ship gets like you know, people get all bent out of shape. I've rarely seen an open form common thread, specifically on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube will go there. That and even TikTok, I've rarely seen one that doesn't get riddled with ending in a racist conversation, political views thrown, religious views here, and just rank out contests like people

can't be civilized, we can't leave ourselves to our own devices. Unfortunately, no pun intended, we can't be left alone. We are all a bunch of fucking children. And but but the thing is, but no one these people aren't Rhodes scholars. They these are common everyday people probably, but just answer the question. They don't know how to do that, and most people don't know the difference between a fact and in an opinion. And a lot of people aren't listening.

They just wanted, They want to say something for the sake of saying it without having any reason behind it. But it's reading the person. Okay, so I put up a post last week. But no, it's more than just reading Brodie. It's reading, it's interpreting. There's nothing to interpret it says I want to know if you Okay, here's an example. Last week I put up a post and I said, I have a seven inch dick Apple. Yeah, yeah, right now that Why would I make it? Why would

I cut it in half? So I said, I have a twenty seven inch two thousand eleven I think Apple monitor. It has a um A lightning chord, and from what I'm reading, you can only use it with an Apple computer because it doesn't actually have a power button. You need an Apple UM an Apple connection to turn it on,

to write to power it. I've seen videos of people who have managed to work with work it with a desktop, and there's certain adapter cables you can buy to make it work with Already, it's his way over the head of Okay, not this listing. I'm talking about the people that are about to read it. Okay, So I wrote I have this, uh this, this uh this monitor. If you have one and you have figured out how to make it work with a Windows ten laptop, she right there.

Specific you're asking for a specific yes, as specific as possible. If you have one and you personally have gotten it to work with a PC laptop, please let me know. So I got a bunch of people. I'm in it. I could try to help you. Nope, not what I asked for. Then someone said, oh I think you can use that. Nope, not what I asked for. So I got a bunch of those, which I appreciate you trying to help, let me guest. Then you get a bunch of people that are like, why you're trying to do

that for you? I can just hang up and you can just finish my st worries for me continue GeTe. No, no, no, no, I'm just saying, because I know what the common person is gonna say. I know enough. So I just want to thank Lauren Schneider, who is not only a slice but a verified slice form a TV personality. Lauren Handley TV very funny and I'm sure she's appreciating this right now. She wrote in quotes, I've never done this, and I

know you as specifically for people who have. But let me give you my two cents anyway quote see because they know you. But but did you get it? Solution? It's not It's not possible. That's the solution. It's not possible.

So I may have to sell it now, Alright, I don't have That's nice, okay, but but you just gave an example of people on an open forum just trying to give their opinion and just throw out garbage just for the sake of hearing their own voice on their Pretty much what we do on our podcast every week, if you think about it, that is what we do. But I give an opinion this week that was you give people too much credit. That's another problem. That's a

that's I gave myself too much credit. I'm gonna tell you a a quick story, quick story, and I know you want to. You wanna we take a break real quick. So all right now, I'm going through physical therapy from my elbow. I have a little elbow pain and I'm I just started seeing a new physical therapist. Okay, um, And so I want to tell you about the questionnaire.

I'll tell you that later. But so the first day I'm there and they have like the music system that plays random music, you know, like over the lot, over the speakers like like it's so, I said, is this I heart or what is it? She goes, oh, it's Pandora like whenever. So it was very eclectic. So it was like hard rock and then pop. I don't know what it was. So Lord comes on Royals by the way, fun fact, that is the is in my story? What well, you're gonna make a reference to something that you and

I did together. No, no, let me tell you. I'm not gonna ruin your story. Then that is that is the That is the clue that Brody lost to me on the music trivia game that we played on Carla Marie and Anthony's podcast that they do for Spotify every morning. They play instrumental like keyboard, like horrible keyboard versions of the song. Yeah, and then you didn't know Royals and I did. I stole it from you. I won the game. You won the game. Yeah, So Lord, So Royals fucked

me there and Royals fucked me again. So in two thousand fifteen, the Mets played the Royals in the World Series. You and I went to every game. We had the best time, at least the New York games. And I did a little little parody um as the Royals were in the World Series in fourteen, and again when the Mets were in the World Series in fifteen, I did the Mets of play the Mets of the Mets of you know, playing the Royals, right, and when the Royals, I did that. You know, it's the Cardinals versus the

whatever they play whatever. So I did a bunch of different versions of that in Well the song comes on and uh and she says, yeah, that song came out in because oh, I said, Lord, Wow, what happened to her? Remember, Lord was gonna be the next big thing. Taylor Swift was her best friend and she was gonna be the next big thing. Well, she really only had one other decent song after Royals and then like Ship the Bed, at least on pop radio. If you're a Lord fan, tweet me go, She's got a lot of great So

I'm out saying she's no great songs. She's just not popular. You have you know, she's not having not pop culture TMZ and covering her, right, she don't get stories every day. Right. She showed her butt cheeks on the last album didn't help. Album didn't sell well. So I said, wow, she was a big deal back in fifteen. She hasn't had a hit and so so the the woman who's working on

my arm, the physical therapist. She says, that song came out in I was in college, and I said, now, thinking abouteen when I wrote the parodies, I'm like, no, that song was late. She says, now it was. I was was my senior year of college. I'm sure of it. So I didn't. I don't tell her where I work, but i'm my head, I'm going I'm in a radio, dude, I know when the song came out, come on? You have to be right, yeah, in my in my head, I'm going, you know. So I was like, you know what,

it's a sickness for you. So I said, so, I said, you know what, let's let's just google it. Let's just google it. Right. So I'm like, when did the Royals come out? By Lord? And guess what scary summer? Of course, did you know that's something that we don't factor we work in hit radio comes right? And then with six months to a year later we finally jump on it, so it gets on our our radar much later, So sometimes you have to factor that in. And I was

going to a station entire time. As soon as she said, I'm thinking, in my head, she's absolutely right, because it was an alternative rock hit for for in the alternative college world, and we didn't get it for we We jumped on the bandwagon late, like we do for everything, and Rody's about to get his ass handed to him on this one, right, And so luckily I didn't say where I worked, so I was like, huh, I said, it must have come out on an indie college radio station,

but it wasn't a hit until when I said, I said, I guess we're both right. But I, you know, I was so confident, like, oh, the song was a hit, and I know why I wrote it for the world serious. So look, if I had written like a song for like um Valentine's Day, then I immediately would have known it came out. But because it was a World Series song in October, I was thinking maybe it came out in like March or April, but it came out a

year and a half before the World Series, so yeah. Yeah, so Lord Lord's Royal song fucked me again, fucked me against buy. If this is the worst problem that you have all day, that Lord's song fucked you, I think you're doing pretty well for you. Yeah, I'm doing okay, Okay, I'm just thinking about that. You know, we we we we make mountains out of mole hills and maybe that's what we we we do best. But that's all you know, me,

that's all I do. But if that's the worst thing that happened to you today, David Brodie, I think you're doing okay. But I think there's a lot of people with much larger crosses to bear, uh, you know, and problems and issues that they have going on in their life, and they're like, look at this fucking dude. He's complaining that he got a year of a song wrong. Yeah, no, I know, I know. I did want to tell you about my my night on Saturday. When when can I

do that? And we have some sound we got Yeah, let's do some sound and then we can talk. But what do you what do you tell me the clips and I'll set them up with Katie Babs this week. No, but we do have Katie Babs in the vault, ready to go at any time. Yeah, I have a Verizon commercial here that's only coming out of my left ear for some reason. I don't know why. That's okay. A lot of people who listen to smart smart speakers won't know the difference, because I always do. There's only one

speaker on a smart speaker, So that's okay. If you're listening in air pods right now or headphones, this may sound a little tilted to the left. And if you've silted to the right, you got your headphones on backwards? Can't you center the audio? Can't you? I cannot? Okay, all right, so right now, this to me is the most annoying commercial on the radio. I'll tell you why because and and you'll listen to it and you and I make you you might get into a debate with this.

The men in the commercial, it's two families talking about getting free phones from Verizon. The men in the commercial are fine, but both women in the commercial make the same mistake. And I don't know why if they if the script was written that way, or women changed, like naturally change the script these women, I don't know, But play the clip, listen to what Verizon gave these women, and you tell me what's wrong with what they're saying. Just gave us all the brand new I phone thirteen.

We've been customers for years. I found new phones were for new customers. To wait, I gotta start that over. Listen to the first woman says something wrong. Then the second woman says this anything again. Wrong. By the way, I just realized something. It's the right channel only, and my headphones are on backwards. So okay, if you're coming, if it's coming out of your left, my right here, I heard that my right here that time. Hold on, I gotta turn my headphones around. Wow, I had them

back backwards this entire time. Okay, now you played off my phone. I got it. I got it, throwing about it. It's on my right, my right side only. The rising just gave us all the brand new I found thirteen. We've been customers for years. I found new phones were for new customers. We got phone to listen to the woman. No, wait a second, I'm already lost. Listen to the two women and I'll explain it afterwork. Fund. We've been customers for years. I found new phones were for new customers.

We got our phone thirteens to switch to Verizon two minutes ago. Ours were busted and we still got a shiny new one. Okay, So listen to the first. So she just said hours were busted and we still got a shiny new play the first, playing the clip again. Listen to the first. Woman, Rison just gave us all a brand new I phone. Okay, there's a whole family of five shows. Verizon just gave us all a brand new iPhone. There's nothing wrong with that sentence. Yes there is.

They gave they gave them one phone. They gave them one phone for hold. What she should have said was, they gave us all new iPhones thirteen I phone, thirteens. These are things that keep David broken night. Yes, somebody wrote this and get paid for it. Listen to it. You know there is medication for this stuff. I know, hold on, hold on. Rising just gave us all a brand new I phone thirteen. There's nothing wrong with its, all verizons of I think. I think that you can

say it both ways and both are acceptable. No, it's not. Second woman is worse the second and just gave us all a brand new I phone. Their team, they gave us all, meaning like you get an iPhone thirteen. You get an iPhone thirteen. You'll get an iPhone thirteen. They gave us us all iPhone thirteens. Could have she could have said that. But if she had said, they gave us all a car, how many cars did they get? They gave us all the car. They gave us all a car. You get a car, you get a car,

you get a car. They gave several cars. I think either acceptable. David Brodie is wrong. Wrong. Now play the second play. That's the second woman for new customers wes to switch to Verizon. Cars were busted and we still got a shiny new one. Yes, hours, hours were busted. That means plural our phones were busted and we still got a shiny new one. Each. The word each is implied. Now now we all got shiny new ones. Funck Verizon fund. These women don't say that's choice. Yeah, okay, not a sponsor.

I love Verizon. I'm saying the commercial. Play the next clip. People agree with me. Spent tweet us, tweetus at David Brodie and strahow scary Jones go either way? Oh my god, we spent ten minutes, ten minutes on that at least on the side. Okay, you didn't let me set the clip up that corral. Okay, here's the end of a commercial for Golden Corral kicking on the side, ribs and barbecue chicken on the side. Is that what he said? Nope? And then I'll play the second clip. What this is

like the Fabries commercial? What are they saying in this clip? What is that num num role? What are they saying and something with a role? I think they're bread hold on the okay, wait yeah, wait, and then the roll nod Do you know the definitive answer? I don't know. I don't know what they're saying. Maybe it's Golden Corral. Maybe it's just a way of wrapping up the jingle with the nonsense word. You know people use nonsense words and songs all the time. Yeah, yeah, no, No, it's roll.

They're just singing up roll roll and the roo eminem roll eminem roll. Like, well, I'm hooked on the I'm hooked on the word roll. Maybe I have to unhear the word roll. Maybe it's not roll. No, I want one of them, and then I'm on the road, and then on the road. Then I'm on the roll on the road roll and and I'm on the roll and and I'm on a roll in the mono role. No, I like the nim nim role. I guess we'll never know the hell are they saying? If I say nim

nim roll that's what you hear? You know we have? This is to be continued. What about Okay? This is an I heard this on the radio and it's a very slow song by the Commodores. But but but the lionel Rich used to be in the Commodores. He's singing. If it sounds familiar, it sounds like he's telling a story about his wife cheating on him. But like, listen to the words and what he says. But when when the clip ends, because it sounds really dirty, I'm going graving.

He'll be your lover to night you and when he comes, I'll let you go. Yeah that seems fair again figure of speech. He's like, I want you to be my love it tonight, but when he comes, I'll go. That is a double that's your cue to leave. I think when your wife's banging some guy and he comes, you're out now. I don't think that's what he meant. I don't think Brody made it funny. Here's another song by Dixie's Midnight Runners called come On Eileen, Come On Eileen.

I mean, you know that's the same type of joke. Yeah, but this one just sounded dirty time. Alright, we're not, we're not. I've heard this podcast, okay, So you know we've talked about sometimes people read commercials and they read it the way the person the company wrote it, like come on down to our show room to buy a cock, come on down. But when you're a famous person on the radio, you don't say come on down to our

show room. You change it to go on down to their show, go on down to their So get on my own my favorite band, he's on down the road. He's on down the road for the Whiz. My favorite band. Def Leppard had released a new album last week, Diamond Star Halos, and they hosted their own channel on Sirius XM. So you know, they don't sit there in DJ. They record all the lines and they go home. Then somebody puts the lines in front of songs. So this somebody

wrote the script of Phil Collin, the guitar player. Listen to what he says about the band He's in Baby from that new album done. Oh that's terrible person. He's talking about himself. Person. He says he has a cut from their new album. So a shame on the copywriter. What what station was at? Uh? Here Nation probably? Wow? What a bunch of idiots over there? And then Shamon

Phil Collin, he read what they what he wrote? Why would you the person needed the first of all, the person who was assigned the task of writing the liner for Phil Collin. You should say his our new album. Yeah, yes, talk in that person's voice. So that's mistake number one. But I think the bigger idiot here is Phil Collin himself. He's not He's Collins's Phil Collins, Phil Collin, No you, I'm just saying you're not saying it wrong. You're correct. I don't want people to go Phil Collins is in

Deaf Leopard. No, No, Phil, different person. Phil Colin is a dummy himself. He's a robot here. Read this and he just stands there and says he's from that new album. Yeah, well, so I gave you. I gave you three clips to play from Jon bon Jovi, but we didn't load them because I told you weren't gonna have to time next week so I'm teasing it because he guess DJ on the f LEPPERD channel. Are you teasing on down the road? He's on, He's on down, He's on down the road. Yes,

what else you got? So I'm gonna play John bon Jovi next week? Okay, So I'm the New York Mets right, like I don't know about ten episodes ago. I played a clip from of of the announcers saying Patrick Mazka's name his first game? Right, they said they butchered his name. I don't think I have the clip ready, but they butchered his name. Now we're several months in and they should know his name. So so he was on the

Mets are on Sunday Night Game of the Week. ESPN was doing the game and and the announcer again, his name is Zika m A m A z E k credit at all? Well, so somehow this guy turned into a Japanese baseball player. Play the clip that it was received behind the plate by k mask. His name is Zeka. I just feel bad for the guy the national broadcast. But how do you go to mass A kya not keeping me up tonight? Sorry? All right? Next, well you're

not you're not gonna like to Harry's clip. Let's move on. Okay, Okay, what else you got? That's all I got for today? We move on. Then we'll take a breakfest. I'm not I'm not keeping up at night. Was Harry's clip that much more trite? It wasn't great? Okay, it was a debatable thing and high, and the high being patricks a k. Well, if I played bung Jovi, that would be great, but you won't let me. I don't have it loaded right now? Can I? Can I play the commercial? I'm prepared. I'm

prepared for that time. I'll tell you what I have it. I have the exzema commercial. It's it's a commercial for Shopify. I remember I played Shopify where the daughter's like mom cutting out. Here's here's the new eggzema. Now, if you don't know what exzema is, it's a skin disease, eggzema. It's spelled e c z e M a eggzema. Listen to a stupid commercial.

Yes, oh it's boozy, scary it is. Oh, I know I sent you there. Well, no you didn't. I asked you if you'd ever been there, and you said you wish you want to go there. Something you gave I gave you this, gave you my scary stamp of approval. Yes, you said, Oh,

There's a couple of Buddhicans around the world. So I want to give a shout out to Jody on our on our sales team, who's a big slice listens all the time. Jody has been kind of joy. Jody spoils the hell out of me. But one of

the things she did for me was she got me. Uh. She and Deb also in sales were able if they had an extra pair of tickets to see The Hangman on Broadway. And I had said, I wanted to say, like, oh, we happen to have a couple of extra pair if you want to go, well, we can get you a pair of tickets. I said, great. So they gave me a list of dates and I said, I'd like to

go Saturday at eight o'clock. Of all the dates you gave me, Like, yeah, we got those tickets, nobody else wants them because they you know, they get sometimes entertainment stuff like for clients whatever. So I'm like, oh, I would love to go. If you don't have a client, I would love to go. Okay, great. So Jody says to me, you gotta go to Buddhaican. My friend Rich is the general manager. He's and he's a big fan of the show and he'd love to meet you. And great,

It's okay, great. So we make reservations and we make dinner for five thirty and I get the show starts at eight, and the restaurants downtown rough and the show is on I think, so straight shot up eighth Avenue. Eight eighth Avenue goes up uptown goes north, so it's perfect ready to go. And I got a parking space right by the restaurant, and I got a garage booked, already made the reservation, prepaid for the garage up by the movie theater, so I got everything covered right now.

Boudhacan is a very upscale Asian. Now, when I say Asian, it's like Chinese food, but very expensive and very fancy and much better, like really really excruciatedly good food. But my wife says to me, now, look she knows me. She doesn't even listen to the podcast. She says to me a couple of weeks ago, listen, we're going to Boudican. I already looked it up. It's an awesome restaurant. I really to try the Chinese, the sausage, fried rice, and a couple of the things that I really looked really

good at the menu. But I don't want to order like roast porkolomano vegetables. Well they don't. That's not even an option. No, no, no, no, no. She doesn't want me to order without vegetables, the equivalent to that. There's want me to order that's not something that's even on their menu. They don't have that on the menu. So I said, that's too basic. So why so basic? She's like, I really would like to order the it's fancy. I would like to have the food the way the chef

creates it. Can we please? Please? I don't want to watch you pick the green stuff out, you know? Can we just order it and just not, you know, be difficult? I said, all right, you know what, for you, I'm gonna I'm gonna okay, okay, And everything inside of me is dying, dying inside, but it's my life. So I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm married a long time. You're not, so I said, okay, you know, I said, look,

I've already looked at the menu. There's three four things on the menu that I can order without changing anything. But if you want the rice with stuff in it, okay. By the way, are you going to pick the ship out? And be a hold on, hold on? So I just trying to be good. She already said, I don't want to watch you pick the floor. I just I want to have a nice night out right. So we go to the place. Is just gorgeous, Oh my god, chandeliers and the huge staircase. Oh my God. So we have

a wonderful dinner. We ord a dim sum for two and the only thing I didn't want to eat was the Edemmy dumpling. It's green and it's just like um pause right there, pause right there. That is their signature dish. That is one of their signature. Sometimes when you go to a restaurant, they have a thing called the signature, meaning the thing that that they're known for that everyone has to get. That. The Edemmmy dumpling is a very unique thing that I think started there or we became

popularized by that place, and there's copycats. Oh, you cannot go there without having the head a mob being dumpling brody, even though it's clean. So the dim sum for two comes with a pork pork dumplings. The most unbelievable shrimp French toast French shrimp toast have ever had on It had shrimp in it. It wasn't like you know, you get shrimp toast. It's like toast dipped in like shrimp oil. This had shrimp. It was like a shrimp roll. It

was fantastic. Before the meal started, they sent over shrimp tartar spring rolls, which my wife took a bite of and said, David, they're safe. Go ahead. So, without looking, I took a bite. It was fantastic. It was unbelievable. So the dim sum comes into like a little tower, like a little like a seafood tower, and on the top is a is carrot dump, vegetarian carrot dumplings. They look like the orange, shaped like carrots with a little green at the end. It looked like carrots. Unbelievable. I'm

gonna post pictures. I think, no, you say unbelievable. The carrot, the shape of it. It's a giant dumpling shaped like a carrot, and it's orange. They food call it it whatever. I ate that without asking what was in it. I didn't look. I didn't peel it, pick it open. She said it was safe. I hate it. Okay, I ate everything but the d a mommy dumpling I went to eat. I was using chopsticks. Scary, Who am I? I was using chopsticks? Toss my wife, What is going on here?

You know I hate chopsticks. It's you're going on. You're on a different plane, all right. So she had a sun dress on. I'm a suck of sun dresses. So suck. So she liked the ad a Mommy dumpling so much she said, you know what, I don't think you're gonna like it. I'll eat the other one. So I got out of that. But then that was a scam. What she did was she loved it so much she wanted the other piece. She didn't want It's fine, no, no, because I was challenging myself, and so I got We

got the fried rice. It came on a giant bowl and I could see it had pieces of onion in it, and it had green onion in it. Or it was like you know, scon and my leg is shaking under the table. Dude, I hoped so hard that you're gonna say it was dil No, No, it's Asian food. But Dylan A, I'm just saying no, but the idea of it. Yeah, I cornered. And he was trying to impress his wife

and list. If my wife and I went to Siddel's, If my wife and I went to Sidell's and she challenged me to eat the food there, I would have to end the marriage right there. I'm not gonna doing it. So I had the fried rice and I ate whatever was in it. I ate, but I she sort of gave me the nod and she let me pick out the green onions. That was my one thing I could get out. But there weren't a lot of them. I have to say, it was maybe like five. So I kind of like, you know, I got them out, but

I ate the rest of it. I was a big boy. We had a great meal. So it's seven thirty now and we're full. We had the black pepper steak in a in a bird's nest, not a girl's nest. They're known and they're known for doing tapas style where you just do a whole lot of small plates that fill you up. Still coming, so we finished the food. I'm not gonna We had like a spicy shrimp dish, all fantastic. So we're done at seven thirty, seven thirty two right now, and we have to get to the theater by eight.

So I said, you know, let's not do dessert. We'll just get out of here. Well, the general manager comes over rich. He says, hello, nice to meet you, a really nice guy. He sends over a dessert platter of um, like a lava chocolate lava thing that like oozes chocolate and it, and then like a chocolate stick, and then like, okay, coffee ice cream that I like, I've never had before,

sitting on a mountain of coffee. That was outrageous. So and then like the waitress goes, uh, they'd like, we'd like to know if you'd like any coffee a latte. I'm like, well, I gotta have a latte because it was chocolate. So we get coffee. The dessert was outrageous, scary. So I pay the check and I'll tell you a funny story about the check next week. I can't get to that now, it's not really part of the story. It's now seven forty six. We've lost track of time.

We have fourteen minutes to get up town. So we run out, run to the carts four blocks away. We walk quickly. We get to the car. It's now seven fifty one. Oh my god. Now my nav says seven minutes to get up town. My wife says, well, I just checked ways it's thirty five minutes. I go, come on, it's it's eight o'clock on a Saturday in Manhattan, right, Well, we'll make it. It's right up eighth Avenue. It's not a big deal. We drive up, I'm flying get We

get the thirty six. It's a parking lot, of course it is. It's nottn in the theater district. So I cody, what kind of hold on? So I cut over the sixth Avenue and I'm flying up sixth Avenue, but I gotta cut back to eighth and go west again, parking lot. We get to the garage at twenty. I get to the theater at oh no, no, it's a two and a half hour show. So we get to the theater and and the whole time, my wife's like, it's no big deal, it's casual. Well, would you just catch up?

It's great. Maybe we got to the theater on a twenty something, if I have to be honest. So we go in. We handed tickets to the women checking the tickets. She goes, oh, I can't let you in. What she just um, these tickets are post dated. I don't know what that means. She was, go to the window. So I go to the ticket the ticket booth window, and I say listen. He goes, I can't let you in. You got hit too late. I said, were twenty minutes. It's traffic. You gotta let me in. He goes, no, no, no, no, no,

you're not late. You're not late for the eight o'clock show. These tickets are for two pm. I drove like a maniac. I cut people off, I gave people a finger. I almost hit a guy pushing a cart like the peanut cart, was crossing the street, almost at him. And I mean, I'm stressed that I'm late. What two o'clock you're on? You were giving mattenee tickets for earlier in the day and the whole time, your whole time tickets two pm. They were in like a pribably like an envelope to

see went on on it. So I knew. I knew that was a Saturday. I didn't look she gave me the wrong tickets. So I'm telling the guy, you gotta let me in. I'm only twenty minutes late. It's a two and I show you gonna let me and he goes, yeah, you're He goes, we're sold out. I go, I know you sold out, but I got tickets. No, you don't what. He goes, You're you're late for the two o'clock show. So uh, they were kind enough to give us a rain check on the tickets. And we're going tomorrow night,

Thursday night. So that's why I was asking about what I have to wear. We're gonna see We're gonna see the show again. But imagine that I thought we were late for the eight o'clock show. I'm driving like a maniac to get there. We're like, damn it, we hain't dessert. For that matter, you could have gotten back into Buddha Coan sat down and finished the dessert like civilized human being. Yes, I'm like, oh, scarfing it, doll down. Oh man, I ate that coffee ice cream like nobody's business. So thank

you Jody for the recommendation. Thanks to the tickets Jet Devin, Jody, and thank you the general manager. By the way, when we were leaving, he says, listen, you come back anytime you see me. I'm like, yes, I will. So, uh couldn't have been a nicer experience. Uh yeah, that's not his real name, by the way, so I'm just saying that, you know, No, that is a real name. I'm not telling his last name, but his first name is Rich. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. And he sent over

dessert Forest free dessert. Gotta love it, good man. But Buddha con if you have if you get a third job, Well, can I take a quick story? Quick story? Quick story, I'm looking out of here. Quick story. Okay, So remember a few weeks ago I told you that I had gotten a Firestone gift card for a hundred dollars and had expired. And I called up and I got them to re send me a new card. Yeah. So I got the Firestone master card and the bottom left corner

bottom a little letters, it says a hundred on it. So, knowing that the dinner was going to be a lot of money, I brought the card with me. I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna use that hundred all the card rather than like buy myself something stupid, I'm gonna put it towards dinner because this dinner's to be a lot of money, right, So I put the I don't want to tell my wife I'm using a gift card for the dinner. I'm gonna be a big shot, Like, you know, big shot, I'm spending money whatever. It's not

that it's my money. Is not harmoney, it is. But okay, So I put the my credit card in the in the credit card thing, but with the check, and I put the Firestone or Firestone Auto card in there with the hundred dollars on it, which is you know, if it was the first date, I wouldn't do it. And I put it in there, and I go, just, uh, you know, use the cards there, just you know, x Na. So she comes back, she says, I'm trying to said, do you want me to split up between the two cards.

Are you guys splitting the check? I go, no, no, no, it's both my cards. Just use the card, just use them. It's okay. But then she comes back, she says, um, what's the value on this gift card? It's like when you go to the pharmacy and they go, h they had a price check on the extra small condoms, right. So so I'm like, okay, I said, it's a hundred hollars this right there. She was, Oh okay, I'm not sure. She was I'll be right back some my still gonna

be like okay. So she comes back, she just the computer is not letting me put the whole hundred on the card, so I could probably put seventy five on the card. Is that okay? Yeah? The third time we're discussing this, okay, so she comes back says, Okay, I put the seventy dollars left on the card on the card, yeah, which I'm gonna use tomorrow at the next rest. You will know it. Come on, the money's gonna go to waste, I'm gonna use it. But it was still I was

trying to be a nonchalant about it. God boys, Boys,
