#227: We're BACK, Bitches!

back in town. Whatever you want to hum, I just I didn't want to do the music, but we will. You know, well, well we do a regular podcast. This is a regular podcast. Uh so, uh we're back brook the Boys are back, and then next week we're off because we're on a cruise. Right yeah, okay, no speculation there. We're going on a cruise together. So we do want to play for you a little later in the podcast, like towards the end, go ahead and introduced my bit

Brody's new feature called I'm leaving. All right, so let me interrupt Mr Jones for a second. Um, you guys, at this point, I'm assuming you know that I I left the Elvistra in morning show, and it's a long explanation as to why I left, and we're gonna play the audio of me talking about it on the Olvistra in morning show from what was the date, Friday August. Yeah, so you can go and listen to the Elvistra and

on demand channel. I hope you probably already have, but in case you haven't, we're gonna provide it for you here and uh. And so this way it's all encapsulated in one shot. Otherwise I got to repeat it all again and I don't want to live again. But it was, it was fun. It was It was it was fun to talk on the air that much, but but it was. It was good to explain because listen. First and foremost, let me take a minute to thank all of the slices for unbelievable support on the chat pages and on

social media. Uh. Even though you had some crazy conspiracy theories, which I address in the clip, you'll hear it's out of love that you came up with them, and out of out of sticking up for me and all that. There's no reasons to up for me, But I do appreciate the support and the unbelievable kind words and funny words and appreciative words. They all meant a lot to me. So I did want to get that out of and none of those conspiracies were true. But you guys would

make great screenwriters. Let me tell you if you want to, you know, if you want fiction, and you want to, you don't. I think we come to the slices if it's if we want to. My wife's sick. You'll hear it all on the clip later. Um. I also a lot of people um said things on social media to me like, um, I'll miss your sarcasm and wit um good luck in the future, and I said, well, you'll

still hear my sarcasm. And went on the Brooklyn Boys podcast and I'll and I would say of them said the what So I don't know how they are big fans of mine and don't know about the podcast. But that's okay. So we have a job to do. Hopefully they're listening from episode zero. Well let's let's listen to this one first and then go back to episode zero. Well,

we can't tell them that they're not hearing it. I told them listen episode zero, So I said start from zero because that's what you tell, so they're gonna find out about what happens to you until like two years when they're caught up. So my point is, uh, if you see new people in the in the slice page and new people on social media, reach out to them, welcome them to the family. Absolutely. And on that note, we will be having our Brooklyn Boys meet up number

one up at Benjamin Steakhouse Prime. And there's three Benjamin steakhouses in Midtown Manhattan, so make sure you go to the one that says Benjamin Steakhouse Prime. Okay, but the information on how you could hang out with us. It's a three course dinner which includes free dessert. Make your reservation ahead of time because it is a limited space available, so we're making a reservation. Includes leaving your credit card to show that you're actually coming, that you're locked in,

ripped the knob off kind of thing. So, um, this some room left, but I I would not leave it up to a phone call reservation and then I would take care of it. Details on that at Benjamin Steakhouse dot com. And we'll see you Saturday, September ten, five o'clock. Yeah, and by the way, I think you can go to Benjamin Steakhouse dot com slash Brooklyn Boys end. It'll go right there. Yeah, either way if you're a fan of

slashes and things like that. So, hey, by the way, I love how, I love how as you as you decided you know you you were, you were leaving the morning show. You you called me out on your way out the door about something that I did that I from the from the weekend, and this kind of this kind of got me a little bit. You know, I bit my tongue because like Brodie's having his moment, I'm gonna live. But on the podcast, all right, all bets are off and the gloves are coming off. Well here's

the thing. You're gonna hear me describe it in the clip later. I know you won't because I was on the whole show. So, by the way, go back and listen to the ELM Straight Morning Show from Friday on the on demand channel. I was the entire show from seven to ten East Coast time, so that's not on this podcast, only the first break that I did when

I first explained. So yeah, so why don't you reiterate? Okay, that so the Sunday, so, uh, the week of the eighth was my last week, right, I worked the eighth uh, and then I had I had UH scheduled to be off on the ninth because I was getting my daughter at the airport coming back from Europe. And by the way, somebody said, why is he spending more time with his family and his daughter came back from Europe and now he's leaving for Europe. Okay, my daughter is coming home.

She's home. Now, she's home permanently. I'm going to go away for a week. My job would have been permanent. So this one listener didn't understand. She was upset that it didn't make any sense. Why would I go to Europe if I if I'm leaving my job to spend more time with my family. My daughter comes off from Europe and I leave for Europe. Well, the cruise isn't my schedule. The cruise is when the show is getting on a cruise because we have a partnership with Norwegian

Cruise Line. It's my last work thing, and my daughter decided to come home when she wanted. She doesn't plan her coming homes around my no reagon. Okay, you don't have to get into the weeds on it. But okay, so so so okay. So that was the eighth and the ninth, and then I, you know, I had I had conversations with the big wigs and we were working everything out, and it was very stressful to me because there was a lot of you know, paperwork and and and you have to you know, because uh, we had

contracts with the Brooklyn Boys and different things. We had to work out details about me not being an employee with the podcast. It doesn't matter, but that's why I took a little while. So I'm very stressed about it all going smoothly and and thinking about what I'm gonna say on the air when It's my time to come on. And my daughter needs me to drop her off at the train station not far from Scary's house, right, she

wants to go into Manhattan. So I drop her off, and I called Skier and I said, hey, ma'am, I had asked you to bring um to bring some stuff home for me that I left in the studio. Can I swing by. I'm five minutes away. So of course Scary goes, yeah, of course here here, you'll come down. Great, I'm five minutes away. I get there about eight minutes later because there was a street closure. I'll go round and around, and I get there and I pull up

to Scary's big circular driveway with his big doorman, fancy entrance. Okay, all right, that's not you know, I live in a humble abode ye. Yes, So so I sit there and I'm waiting. I'm waiting and I'm there like ten minutes, which is now seventeen minutes since I said i'll be there in five go what doll? So I text him, I like, I'm here. Almost ten minutes go by, and he he comes down and my box of stuff is at the front door. It wasn't like he was trying

to gather it or he couldn't find it. Now, a normal person, when you say i'll be there in five minutes and you live in an apartment building high up on a mega floor, you start coming down, you're like, oh so like, oh Brodie stuffs in the lobby. I'll just come down now I'm dressed, which you are, but you didn't come down. So first and foremost, what how are you waiting for? Okay, here's what happened Lincoln Park. I I was invited to a pool party, okay, and

I was changing into my bathing suit. And when, by the way, you you give me no time. How much did you give me? How much heads up did you give me that you you didn't know? You said, hey, man, I'm in the neighborhood. I want to pick up that box of stuff. So I said, I like five minutes away. All right, Yeah, But the thing is, you can't interrupt my sunday when I'm just I have a flow to my sunday and i'm and I'm hanging out with my friends. It's my leisure time and you just interrupt with the

phone call and say, how I'm five minutes away. So you say, you introduced this idea, you spring it upon me. So so now I have to stop what I'm doing. What were you doing? Because because you hold on, I was putting on some block and I had an uber that was coming for me. So I canceled uber immediately. That's a lie. That's not a lie I didn't share. It's a lie based on what you said to me later. So it hold on, hold on, hold on. So then I go downstairs and then you know, it took me

a while to actually spring into motion. But here's here's how I see this. If I'm if You're just giving me a five minute heads up that you're coming to my apartment to pick something up when there was no plan to do that prior to that. I have every right to take a couple of extra minutes to get on board and get downstairs eighteen minutes. Well, you were in the neighborhood. You obviously weren't going anywhere. Well, why couldn't you say to me on the phone, Hey man,

I gotta cancel the uber I'm putting sunblock on. Because it wasn't about that, It wasn't about me. It was just I got to hand you. I had to hand you this box. Yeah, he saw me right down. So he comes down eighteen minutes later, and he looks stressed. I had scared. What's the matter? Now, keep in mind, I'm having a stressful week, just a lot on my mind. I got, you know, things going on, And I said, hey man, what's going on? Oh, they're ruining my sunday?

I saw I say about who's ruining his Sunday? Is our company calling in because there was a problem with the shows? Is there's something that went wrong over the weekend? What's go what are they is it? What's going on? Who's calling you? Dude, I'm gonna get the second name wrong. It doesn't really matter, it goes dude, you don't understand. They're driving me crazy. Who what's the matter is? Look, you look terrible. You look like you saw a ghost,

he says. David David Jimmy. They want me to David Falco. Okay, David Jimmy is a morning show from Columbus. Yeah, I know, but I couldn't remember the second name. I tell you that, so David Falco. Oh, David Falco, you don't understand. They're calling me, not stop. They want me to come to a rooftop pool and have drinks with them on a Sunday when I'm relaxing. So I go, I look at I go, oh, oh see you you have the problems,

you have the stress? My bad. This is typical Brodie trying to flip the script because once again I was enjoying my Sunday and I made you a favor. Tragic, but you were invited to a pool you didn't know if you wanted to go. I felt like, uh, the guy is five minutes away from me and he's calling

my house, giving me five minutes of notice. You know, what let me, let me just stop what I'm doing and drop everything to get him his box of ship day was being ruined by David Falco, who wanted you to be like, oh, I'm trying to relax on the Sunday, and then that they have well, because I wanted to make it look like that you know that that I had other things in irons in the fire, which I did, and and that there was a lot happening. So yeah, so I was eighteen minutes late. So I made you

wait for how how long? Twelve minutes? Well, thirteen total from the five he said, you'd be down thirteen minutes roughly with the seven minutes. That's not bad that I actually stopped what I was doing and then and didn't face and then made you. I want you to thank

thank me, because that's quickly said. I could have easily said, you know something, dude, I'm busy, come back another day and then make you make a forty minute drive out here to my place on a random day of the week when you had no intention of coming out here. So you should thank me for saying, Hey, you know what, I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna stop what I'm doing I'm gonna drop everything. I'm gonna hang it bro okay. Yeah.

And then and then what you do when I when I when I said I gotta go, you went and walk around the court. He went grocery shopping. Well, I had to. I had to get a bottle of liquor because I can't show up empty handed right to the bool pool party that you didn't really want to go to. Listen, I'm a spontaneous guy, oh oh bo, except when I call you, then you're not spontaneous. Thank you, thank you, No coming, I'm coming. I'm gonna get up right now

and run downstairs spontaneous. You just gave me a whole speech about how you interrupted me. I had like I had to do stop show minutes. But that's that's fontaneous point. My point is I spontaneously decided to go to this party. Everything happened within a half hour, and then your call came in. So you told me you weren't sure you

wanted to go. I didn't know. That was another thing because after after I went to go get that bottle, I still have to go back upstairs and change into a bathing suit because I didn't have a bathing suit on so yeah, So, yeah, my day was thrown into flux. Okay, and I say this is zero po. You spent the whole night instagram in your pool life. Come on, come on, I am I supposed to just am I really supposed to just counch out to you. All of a sudden, Oh you know, the Master David is calling me. Let

me stop everything. Listen. You didn't see me in six days, and be nice of you if you hustle down a little bit. Let's go, let's hustle. You were in the neighborhood. I was doing you the favor. I was the one. I was the one who got that stuff together for you. I was brought at home and slept in to my apartment. Yeah okay, so okay, so I expect that apology right now. Uh? Is she just hit the commercials the Boys podcast? Well

be right back. Yeah, the podcast is not gonna change. Uh. Speaking of of of slices, I wanted to send a shout out to someone I haven't heard from on social media. It's not about the grape soda for me, but I have I have not seen her Twitter account. I don't think she has a Twitter account anymore, and I want to make sure she's okay and that she and her family are still listening. So shout out to Lacey Goodman.

I hope everything's good with you. Uh, find a way to reach out to us if you see I remember her grape soda. Lacy from Alabama? Yes, how she U? She's doing okay? Now you're can ask me a question. I just said what I know? All right? Well, well Lacey from Lacy in a while, Brody, how's Lacy? Yeah, we don't know. If she's needs to feel better, we don't know. Also, shout out to E d M S Underscore Memes. Um. They they are Instagram account of run

by slices. I'm assuming definitely E d M S fans, and they put up hilarious memes about our show, sometimes a different meme for each member of the show. And apparently, uh Friday, I guess after my final day on the air, they put up a uh and asked me anything and said what do you like most about Brody? And you can go to e E d M S Underscore Memes and look at their saved stories and look at them. I am I don't there's no names attached, but I am blown away by the kind words from people. So

thank you for that. Very nice. Thank thank you d M s Underscore memes for doing that. That was very nice. So so I have my boy toilet Brian, Remember toilet Brian. Yeah, he falls asleep on the toilet. Yeah, Well, he gets drunk or whatever, he's tired, he falls asleep on your toilet. And this happened back and when we were in Vegas together hanging out the guy. I don't know what it is, and I don't know if it's a I gotta look

this up. If people get drunk and they go and they fall asleep on the toilet in the middle of the night, but they Alvis, they Alvis Presley. Yeah, well, yesterday we went out the toilet. Brian was in town. Of course, he's crashing on my couch for a few days. Has he ever paid for a hotel when he comes to the area. No, No, Should I charge him rent? No? But I think I think he should be more respectful

of your toilet, is what I'm saying. Go on, what happened. So, so we got home last night, Well, I get home and he stayed out drinking till all hours. Of course, I wake up this morning to go into the you know how to get up, go to work, go into the bathroom, turn the light on. There he is living up to his name. Brian on the toy asleep. He was asleep on the toilet again. Now this time I didn't take any pictures, but I still have that that classic picture from that time in Vegas, which I'm like,

is this really happening right now? He literally had his his pants around his ankles. He was sitting on the toilet and his his hand between his leg to keep his uh yeah, his penis uh you know down, I guess. Oh, speaking of penises, I've got some penis audio later leave it at that, but yeah, so I'm like, by the way, it's not audio of a penis your Brian, Brian, your wake up, Wake up, dude. I gotta get any I gotta go to take a shower, go to work. But

you know, so, so he finally did wake up. My dude, dude, get a hold of yourself. Finish up. But who falls asleep on the toilet? Huh Brian? So what do he say? Did he say anything? Who else falls asleep on the toilet? Uh? No, one I know but Brian, right exactly. So Brian is an anomaly. I don't know, but maybe the slices. No people who fall asleep on the toilet, I don't know. I just it's just a weird place. It's got to be a very uncomfortable sleep too, I mean, you know who,

I don't know. Whatever, we'll move on from that. So, yeah, he's in town, hanging out. I got a chance to see him, and my boy told down and remember told Darren from London, well not from London, but told Darren from here but moved to London. He's in town with his family. It's just a very busy, hectic week. But I feel like everybody wants to see me. And here I am forty eight hours away from uh having to

uh to embark on this this trip to Iceland. So if you ask me, when it rains, it poores, and then I'll go a whole month when nobody asks me to do ship. But now everybody's in town, everybody wants to hang out. Hey can you do this? Hey? Can you go out here? Can you? You know? And I stood home tonight. This is my dead occasion to you, Brodie. You know. The Mets are playing the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Toilet Prian and a bunch of my friends all went

to get to the game tonight. They had an extra ticket and they asked me if I wanted to go, And at first I was like, yeah, well let me go. Let let me, let me, let me really burn the candle at both ends here, and then I thought, I'll wait a second. We gotta record. So so here we are, all right there, Brodie, you're very quiet. I'm good. I'm good. You had mentioned the Mets Yankee game. You guys know where Mets fans. You may not be Mets fans. I know a lot of you might be Phillies fans. Um.

I would like to shout out the general. Scary. You know what the general is, not the not the and not the Chicken general. So no, not General, so's chicken. No the generals General. If you're a Mets fan, you know who the seven line Army is. If you're not a Mets fan, the seven Train is the New York

City subway that goes to City Field. So this large group of Mets fans that were the same, uh call the shirts, call themselves a seven line army in the center field bleachers in New York right at the Mets games. But they also will have like a season long tour where they'll buy out like fire tickets in a section around the country, and the stadiums that for other teams are aware of them, and we'll put aside tickets sometimes, right because they're selling fifteen hundred tickets. Who wouldn't want

to sell fifteen hundred tickets? So you can follow these guys and like, oh, we're all going to San Diego on the third. Okay, Well, the Mets played the Phillies this past weekend, and you know, the first pitch scary. I had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at a Mets game. And we've we've thrown our first pitches at Brooklyn Cyclones games and Staton On Yankee games. It's a big honor, it's a big to do um.

But usually you're you're a fan of the home team, right, you know, you should be well at Citizens Bank Park where the Phillies play this past weekend. A man known as the General from the seven Line Army, not the founder, but he's known as the General whatever he got his title from. That's that's what they call him. His Mets jersey says General on the back. He threw out the first pitch at the Phillies Mets game. How the hell do the Citizens Bank Park? How did he do that? Well,

why would the Phillies welcome that? Because he's because the biggest salesperson. He he sold the most tickets for the Phillies. You're very close. The Phillies have a rule that if you sell I don't know, fifteen hundred tickets approximately, you get to throw out the first pitch, like, thank you for doing that, here's your honor. Well, the seven line Army sold I think fourteen hundred and something tickets, so they got the honor as the people buying the and

he organized her. He was he was elected as a rep for the seven line Army. Hilarious. So a guy in a Mets jersey, he was using, a guy that Mets jersey was on the mound. On the mound, I love this at a Phillies game, and they were of course booing him. So to me, that is Mets fan of the month for doing that. And you know what, kudos for the Philly to the Phillies the organization for honoring that, because they could have easily said nah, sorry and just change the rules. But they could have said,

you can't wear the metric on the field. That's like taking a dump in their clubhouse. I mean, that is just that's not good. You can't do that. But they did. They allowed it. I'm surprised. And he threw it to a Philly catcher. Yeah, so shout out, shout out to the general. This is great. Yeah, it's online because I didn't know what night was, the Saturday night, maybe the double header. That's great. And they sold tickets. Yeah, fourteen or fifteen hundred, and that's awesome. That's a lot of

money for the Philly was Friday, the Phillies organization. Good, good for them. Just google Mets fan throws out first pitch at the Phillies game. That's bad, Philly. I'm sorry. I'm not a Phillies fan. I'm not rooting for you, but I'm sorry. That's that's not good. That's not good. I think it's a great thing. I think they honored to promise because the owner is not the fans. The owner is getting ripped for it. He put he put

them on it, he put a price. I guess he never thought that the deal would work out that way, but he should have planned ahead. There should have been a stipulation in the contract. You can't wear a much. They can't wear the other team's jersey. Come on. I had a fun weekend. Actually, um my parents joined me and my sister, her, my brother in law, the kids,

my girlfriend, my girlfriend. We all we went down at the the Jersey Shore and we had a nice family fund day at the Jersey Shore in Asbury Park, you know, my favorite place. Yeah. And I don't know if if, maybe, maybe my parents are the anomaly. I don't know if they're the one to do it and no one else does. But my mother's like it starts like three o'clock. She starts like wrapping up. She's like, all right, I gotta go. I gotta go in the room, gotta get dressed, and

gotta leave. I'm like, my, it's a beautiful Friday afternoon. Friday was gorgeous. I'm like, it's Gordon. It's not a cloud on this guy. There's low humidity, it's eighty two degrees. Even the pool was heated. She was in the pool and you know, I'm like, the day is not done, and where are you guys going. She's, oh, we gotta bob aque to go to tomorrow afternoon that we gotta get ready for. Well, this is what I guess this happens when you get old. Clearly they aren't spontaneous like

their sons Scary Jones. They said, my mother is like, yeah, we gotta go. I said, well, what do you What are you in a rush for? That's hanging out to at least five six o'clock and then you go home and then you go to dinner or whatever. They weren't even hungry. They had no dinner on the agenda. There was nowhere to go to the rest of the night. So she's like, I, I gotta make a salad. And

I'm like what. She goes, Yeah, she goes, everyone's bringing something to this barbecue for tomorrow, and I gotta make a salad. I'm like, how long does it take them? Like a fucking salad you gotta buy? Okay, it was in a macaroni salad, but it was just it was it was like tomatoes and onions and cucumbers and and let's salad. You just go by all the ship that you hate, so you go to Costco. I gotta make a big salad and and I and I and I said, all right, look, I get it, you don't want to

buy a pre made one. But even if you don't have anything in the house, and you gotta make a stop at a grocery store and buy all the ingredients for the salad and then bring it home and then chop everything, and then what because it's a giant salad tops right, and then and then another Maybe let's call it out an hour to make the salad because it's gourmet and she's gotta chop stuff up. So the whole process in going to the store are buying the stuff,

taking this stuff home, chopping, cutting, cold aiding. How long does that take? Brodie forty minutes? And I don't give it two hours an older woman two hours, say two hours. But let me ask you a question, then, why the fund does she's gotta leave at three o'clock. She's gotta

mentally prepare to make a salad. Dude, if that was me or you, what we do we we wake up the morning, I was like, oh funk I gotta make a salad from a cater in place, or at eleven o'clock in the morning, I'm like sitting there chopping up ship and then I'm rolling out of my house that same day. But she needed for whatever reason, this mentally prepare or this mental block. And what was your father doing? Was he like okay, yeah exactly, Oh yeah, okay, so

we gotta go. She's gotta make a salad. I know, I know, guys are like in paradise right now. This is we got. We got. We got there worried and ants. We got the cushion in the chairs with there's only six cushion he chairs at this hotel, and they got the cushion the ones that they had it for the day that you get up early and and and and

and claim all the chairs. They did. They got eight o'clock in the morning to get those chairs, and they're ready to they're get ready to part with them at three o'clock on a gorgeous sunny day because you got to go to a store and buy the ingredients to make a salad for a barbecue that's not happening for the twenty four hours. So these are the kind of people that get up super early to get the chairs. So maybe your mom wanted to get up super early

to get the best lettuce. Dude, No, it wasn't going down like that. So I know the answer to this, but maybe hold on, hold on, let me ask you a question first, what are the odds that your father often to help in any way? Would he say, ro let me chop up something to help you out. He's the salad. He's in the grilled ship. Yeah, he grills.

He would never help her in the kitchen cut stuff up. No, right, you could have said, well, because he could have said, roll, let's stay at the beach a little while, I'll help you. Come up that. Let us let's stay like an hour later, I'll help you. I'll do the shopping. No, he didn't. So it's his fault then too, because he didn't offer to help her. She knows she just to do it all by herself. And then he's gonna take credit for the salad the next day. You know he's gonna get credit.

You know they're gonna go, hey, hey, Mr Mrs Skeary, thank you for the salad. They're gonna go hey, no problem, he's gonna go, no problem. It's all pleasure. Meanwhile, your mom made it. Your mom, your mother, your mother, your mother. Man, My parents are notorious for doing things like that, where, for instance, hey, let's go to brunch on Sunday, and they're like, no, no, no, no, we can't, we can't.

We're leaving Wednesday for Maryland. We're going to We're going and we're going to get crabs or no, we're gonna get crab cakes and stuff. We're gonna you know, you know, we're going to Maine for lobster, like they're going on one of their road trips. I'm like, dude, that's Wednesday. I'm like, what does that have to do with having brunch with your son on a Sunday? Oh, it's just to my We got so much to do and prepare.

I mean, I think maybe parents just get into that mode where they have to prepare for things like they or they can't. They have to block out their schedule of four days on either side of something. I don't know. Does your mother only have one outfit? It's like, I can't wait outfit Sunday, I gotta wear Wednesday. No, no, that's my I can't wear my Wednesday outfit on Sunday. I can't wear that to brunch. Or is she worried about gaining weight for her girlish figure. She's none of it,

none of it, none of it. It's possible. Scary now, hear me out here, It's possible. I'm trying to psychoanalyze your mom and your dad here. But from what I've read, they may hate you. What are you talking about? Well, look, let's let's add up to facts. They make up some lame excuse about salad to get away from you, even though they're in paradise. Then they make up some lame excuse where they can't go to brunch with you so that four days later they can go somewhere else three

days later. The only pattern I see, and it makes any sense, is they're doing and saying things that make no sense. But the ultimate prize is getting away from you. Okay, be it as it may. I'm telling you preposterous, you know. And my girlfriend does the same thing, by the way, she doesn't. She's she's she's similar, she's similar. Tell me about it. Well, she had some she's gotten some paid time off right now, Okay, her her company did a beautiful thing which I wanted to talk about me too,

by the way. All right, Yeah, she she's taking some time off. She wants to get out of here. She she's going, uh, and she wants to go. She obviously has this Iceland trip with me. She's leaving with me. She's going on the trip right now. She still had all of last week off as her first week off. She was getting six weeks, so she went into your place, right, she had stuff to do. But the point is, I'm telling her, make the most of your time and go

somewhere for that first week a few days. Why do you want to burn days doing nothing or whatever you'd want to do, hang with your girlfriends or do what you want to do, detox and go to some yoga retreat. She loves that ship. Well, she's like, no, no, no, no, we have the trip coming up. I mean, that's not it for a week and a half. After that's like twelve days into your your little sabbatical there, and she's like,

I see where this is going podcast, Brodie, where was it going? I don't know, man, He's going down a very dark path. Oh that's what I would hope you would hope for. Yo. Hey, I want to read a couple of things from social media. Um cat Kast's cat on Twitter in your honor. I got free dessert today.

Went to a restaurant. They charged me for something I didn't order, took twenty minutes to bring drinks, another twenty for dessert. I demanded to speak with the manager and he asked what I wanted and I said, free dessert. Winning so very good. So let's see. Oh I got uh uh Maraton Pharaoh, I hope I pronounce your name right sent me an adorable picture of him wearing a Brooklyn Boy's hat holding his son, and he said, Hi, Brody,

So I got a Brooklyn Boys hat, which is a good reminder. Uh, scary. What's the web address to get our merchandise? Brooklyn Boys dot Big cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. H. Shelley W. That's at Love to Rescue. Uh. Spelling makes a big difference. I think I will pass on these.

She sent me a picture of muffins or little bread rolls, maybe their bread rolls, and it says please use tongues to pick up pastries. Now that is a great a great sign. Uh. And then uh, I think, oh, a couple, a couple more here. Um. Joshua Garcia says anyone interested in tacos and sent a picture of a place called stands Tacos. I'm going it stands for tacos. Why does it have to be a Spanish name or Mexican or what?

Hold on? Hold on, it's not a taco stand. Look, we talked about this, like Stacy's pizza stand is an accountant stand works at a Delhi that sells corned beef stand doesn't make tacos. I'm sorry, listen. Don't judge a book by its cover, man, That's how we do. That's our podcast. We judge a book by its cover. You are once again, I'm the guy that with the open mind. Here, I'm the guy with the open mind. You are not.

You are the closed minded fool. Because I care if I see if I see Isabel's pizza, I'm gonna have it. I don't care. I'm going into Isabel's pizza. I'm going into You know, it doesn't just because you don't have the name that sounds like it belongs with that ethnicity who cooks that cuisine does not mean that is bad. You've got to get over that. It's been a this has been a stumbling block for you for years. This is not doing it, by the way, It's a I

think it's a character flaw. I don't have any flaws. Everybody knows that. So I will tell you. Speaking of food, and you and I disagree on food, I had lunch with our good friend. Uh Darren, Oh, did you really now? What do you think of Darren as a manager of people, as a as an important voice in New York he's a powerful guy. Accomplished a lot you want a lot of used to run all the jingle balls across the country, used to run the entire I Heart Radio tent pole events,

all the all the festivals and all that stuff. And he's a he would say, he's a man of wealth and power and dignity. He was at Madison's Garden for the longest time running that ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what about it? Why? Well, so you know, uh, you know he's uh man, he's Jewish, Yes, I do, yes, right, yes, I do. So I told him that I went with you to lunch at Saddel's. Oh god, And he said, too much, Jill. That sucks. The bagels are awful. Thank you,

Mike Drop, thank you. He said that. Yeah. No, I said, what do you think? And he that's exactly what he said. He said, Jews don't eat there. The bagels are terrible and they cover everything with dill. That's not good. I said, I love you, Dan, I'm gonna tell scary so fuck you. So there you go. You know what. I'm sorry. Listen, Mario Carbone, who who owns that place? I think he doesn't kick Mario Carbone from the Carbone Italian place. Yes

that Saddel's belongs to his company, major food group. That you're telling me. You're telling me because I I bought a jar of Carbone sauce, because you told me carbon is one of my favorite places. I had a jar of Carbone sauce. I gotta tell you it's not as good as Rio's, not as good as car Mines, not as good as uh as Um Victor Horriors, not as good. That being said, his name is Mario Carbone, Mario Carbone C A R B O N E. Correct, and he's an avid fan. So why don't you say no, No,

I'm dying to go to the restaurant. You speak so highly of it. And by the way, the sauce was excellent. I'm just I'm just, I'm just working with you. It was excellent sauce. But here's what I'll say, Mario Carbone, if you're listening, I cannot wait to eat your Italian restaurant. But please talk towards you before you open up a Jewish restaurant. That's all I'm saying. I would like ye.

You know, you know who should run, you know, run Sidel's stand from stands tacos, he should give up his taco stand and he should go over to run Sidel's Perfects is so popular and it's it's it's so good, and it's hitting checking so many boxes that they're opening all over the place. There's now is some you know, very popular, very popular. What's growing like crazy monkey pox.

I'm not eating that either. You are you are something else, David Brodie, you know you will never change, will never change. And and the slices don't want me to. You're right, they don't. And I don't want you to either. Frankly good hit the commercials. Oh, I'll give you permission this time. Well, let's for the let the record show. David Brody is suggesting to go to commercials. I'll tell you why because he's the one that that usually is the motor mount

that doesn't pause for commercials. But now he's throwing it out there. No, I'll give you commercials. No, no, I want to. I got an Italian food story. So do you want my Italian food story to piggyback? What the Italian food restaurants? We're talking about? This? Alright? Fine, it's the man. We're all over the map today. And don't forget that audio from the Big Show coming up soon, and that is so we're talking about Italian food and we have a big slice, big slice uh that listen

to Star show. And he invited me and you you haven't gone yet to uh uh to his restaurant, his family's restaurant. And I'm talking of course about Chef Anthony. Chef Anthony. By the way, what's the name of the place. I'm gonna tell you, Emilio's Bulato. Now you have to say it the way you say Ruth's Chris, because Ruth's Blatto. Ruth brought Chris's Steakhouse in New Orleans. That's why it's Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Emilio and Chris's family they bought the

Blatto restaurant, a famous landmark in New York. And he invited us uh and so I took him up on the offer of my wife and I went there and we had what do you think we had? We had chicken palm, and we had big clams, and we had a spicy riggy tooni, and we had some cacaccio bread is forget about it. There really good at right on Houston Street. The place is just a landmark. Was delicious. Chris couldn't be any NICER's like, when scary coming, I'm like, I keep telling him I will be there soon enough.

He gave us the corner table that apparently is so popular that when we were done eating, there was a line out the door waiting to get in. So a couple comes in. They're like, oh, we have a table for you. They come in, they see that my wife and I are like wrapping it up, like getting ready to get up, and they go, you know, we'll wait for that corner table. And they went back outside and got back online. We had that. We had the hot table, hot table, the hot corner. So we ate early. We

went to see a Broadway show. We went to see Kite Runner, which is like two hours and forty minutes long. It was fantastic. If you read the book, the show is great. And if you didn't read the book, the show is great. But a lot of people read the book. So the theater is on Fort Street. I want you to keep in mind. I did not finish my meal. The chicken palm was so big, the big we had big clams. We had a lot to eat at Emilio's Blado, so I had them wrapped the chicken palm and tinfoil.

Of course, what I do. You can't bring food into a Broadway show. I put in my pocket. I set through a Broadway show with chicken palmer palm balm pockets. And then my wife says to me, when the show is over, you know, it's like ten thirty. Now at this point we ate like five hours ago, four and a half hours ago. Says, you know you're hungry. I said, yeah, I'm always a little ungry. She said, why don't we go to Carmines, your favorite restaurant, which is right that

like five stores down, like boom boom right there. So I go, all right, let me text our buddy Glenn, see he's gonna be there. I want to see him. So Glenn's like, I'm not gonna be there. I'm sorry, I'm out of town. Like we're going anyway. So we go, we sit upstairs, We get chicken palm again, big clams again. Uh, and so we had big clams twice, chicken palm twice, and this couple next to us says, oh, what are you guys older? And you guys been here before? Like

how have I been here before? Oh? I'm there all the time. So I talked him into all my favorites and guess what they had for dinner, Big clams, chicken palm and penny. And for dessert they had the assive terramissou, the best terramisoux on the play best tiramisou the best. So I started to tell you I had I double chicken palmed and double big clammed. And when you do that,

you see the subtle differences between them. You can go like, oh, this had this quality said that, Oh yes, double chicken palm and double bay clams is the way to go through life scared. So I'll have to say I'm telling you, and then that'll give me a double belly, okay and a double chin. But okay, I'll just keep going. Listen. I had some great pizza over the weekend. It just placed tenth Street Pizza and Hoboken. It's been under my nose for years. Didn't even realize it. My friends have

been calling me out for everything Street Pizza. Dude, it's I knew. I just thought it was every day corner store pizza. Well, we were there on Sunday, and uh, talk about being a gavone. We got the Buffala the square, the Bouffalla square pizza. And there's the woman coming out of the kitchen. I swear to god, she's like five ft one with the hairnet with the cross around her neck and the dirty as apron with the with the

sauce all over the apron. Her name is Marie and she's the cook and she and I saw her in the back chopping up the room with tomatoes. She let me say this, the buffallla pizza. It's a square and it's crispy. It's got that crisp They put real olive oil into there. It takes forever to make. I'm like, where have you been all my life? And she goes, you're not staying for Sunday Dinna. We went in at

Sunday at three o'clock. It was five o'clock and I'm we're leaving there, and my friends like what and we look at the sign. They do two seatings of Sunday dinner at four o'clock and six thirty, where they make just an all out insane meal with like you know, meat balls and you know, you know they they do everything in the Italian world that you can imagine, and they do a free I'm like, you guys do more

than just pizza. Like, I can't brodie. There's so much to eat and there's so little, there's so little time and stomach space. I can't begin to tell you. It was phenomenal. When we I'm starving. My mouth is watering right now. When are we going? I'm off that day, Let's go. It was so good, dude. But it was It was all my calories for the week. Um, and it was just exactly the way that you would expect it to taste. And that got me on a TikTok um fucking uh rant not rant a TikTok a TikTok uh.

You know, wave of just seeing pizza videos. Whoa, I'm looking at the menu. Scary, yeah, the US. I don't know if it's Buffalo Buffalo. It's an expensive one, but it's worth oh my god, it's forty six dollars and it's worth every dollar. It's an eight and it's eight slices. It's literally al it's a rectangle and it's at two pieces on each side. I'm looking at the square pie is thirty four, the clam six. What's going on with this Buffala pizza? Have you had buffala. No buffala cheese. No,

but it's like guff it's buffalo mozzarella is well, google it. Yeah, it's a thing, and it's well the fresh street drizzle. Oh, I'm looking at the picture to Sicilian pepper and they do sausage and peppers in there. And not only peppers, ready, they actually do an appetizer version of sausage and peppers.

They literally it's uncased. It's it's crumbled sausage and peppers that have been cooked for three hours, so they're sweet as apple pie and in a dish the sausage of the peppers, and and and it's just I can't be gonna tell you about health pasta alforno, crispy pasta baked with meat, sauce and melt the cheese. It's a thing, and it's run by true Italians. Okay, when when what's the person's name of runs it? Marie? Okay, now I'm

gonna go say you just pro my point. No, Okay, you said real Italians run it, right, real Italians, which means that's important to you, that's important for you to tell me real Italians. But when I tell you a taco place that stand runs you don't tell me, oh standard you think it's standing. I'll give you one reason.

I give you a reason why you cannot judge a book by its cover because a couple of weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago, a couple of peaks weeks ago, you came on this podcast and you said you went to Arthur and Sons. Now, if you just did saw a sign that said Arthur and Sons, you, being closed minded Brody, would walk right by it, because Arthur is not an Italian name. Arthur Avenue is the most of Italians. You do know, you do know Arthur and Sons to

be an amazing Italian restaurant. So you would have judged the book by its cover. You had no clue. You had no clue. What are you because because author is the Americanized version of Auturo and his father's name could be a jew Arthur, that's right, Bay. So if art if it's Arthur's and Arthur and Sons. But what made you go there, David Brody? You still went to that one?

And you because one of the sons, because one of the sons is Joe is a dory whose Italian is a day is long, alright, alright, and you know Joe alright, I do know Joe. Alright, listen, we've we've rambled on and on. We gotta take a break and then we're gonna play that and we're gonna when we come back, we're just gonna roll right into it pretty much. Right. No, I got one more thing to talk about and then we'll roll in. Okay, what do you got? No? Go

ahead aheadcast man, oh man, you are manning today? You know what? Uh? You know? I'll tell you why. Because on Friday, Elvis let me talk for three hours on the show. For three hours, not NonStop, but I was there the whole show talking like I never talked on the show before. He let me do it around the room, scars and never been aroun room. He asked me what song I wanted to hear that? By the way, that's dangerous. You know why because you almost picked the eight and

a half minute Master of Puppets from Metallica. Well, he said to me, BROI, what do you want here? Anything you want? So I looked at him for a second. He audio, Yeah, I looked at I went like, you know, ex nay on the what I wanted? What were we

talking about? Here like anything I want within reason for the for the for the pop radio stations were on and he's like, no, whatever you want, So just to screw it him, I was like, how about Master Puppets by Metallica, which is of course eight and a half eight minutes and thirty seconds roughly, and but I said, it's it's pop culture right now, it's it's a big deal and stranger things. And if we could play Running up That Hill from the eighties, why can't we play

Metallica from the eighties Master Puppets album. So he was like, we can't play it in a half minutes. So then I gave you a choice of some forty one or SR seventy one, which are in line with what we would play, also really kick as rock songs that happened to be a big fan of. That was fine, but I you should have seen the look on Elvis's face. He was like ZIX because he said he had to look like, well, you know, it is his day. I gotta play what he wants. But then I I kind

of looked like nab kidding. I gave him kiding look. So that's great, But you almost heard Master Puppets on the radio station. Absolutely almost that close. Almost all right, So let's let's just roll this audio real quick. Um. This was on Friday, August nineteen. Where you take it from here. So I told Elvis. He said, like, you gotta you want to come in and say goodbyes, explain and do whatever. I said. Of course, absolutely, I said,

I'll come in at seven. I guess I'll I'll be there for a few minutes and we'll play my cat is going, I'll be done, I'll leave. He's like, well, I will play it by here and again. You can go back and listen to the full thing. On the others, turn on demand channel and radio you can hear the whole show. I did talk a lot more throughout the show, but this is me explaining my decision. Um, and uh, you know, I was a little emotional that there's some pauses here and there. But if you haven't heard it

here it is. If you have heard it, I appreciate listening to it again. And uh. And that's gonna be the way that we sign off. So, UM, we will see you guys, uh with another podcast or I'll hear you. Uh. Don't forget sign up for the uh the meet up at Benjamin Steakhouse. Make a reservation. We will be there no matter what. By the way, it was never in doubt that I would be there. Of course I would be there where you Brooklyn Boys merch if you have it.

I think that'd be a cool look for everybody to be there for picture taken in your Brooklyn Boy shirts, you know. Uh and uh. And that's it. So we'll see you. Enjoy the audio if you didn't hear it already, I hope it'll explain some things and continue to reach out to me on social media. I love you guys. Uh, peace out, and uh, it's Crow's time. Scary. Yeah, we'll see on the other side. In the Morning show, here

we go. Welcome to Friday, Hy Danielle, Hello, Nate, Hey, Scary Gandhi, Good morning, Froggy, Hi Frog, good morning, Hello, Dave Brody, Good morning, Elvis Story, Welcome to our show. Good to always be here. You've been here forever. You've been here twenty four years and a half. But who's counting town. So it's been kind of a weird, very weird a couple of weeks, and uh, Brody's back to

talk to about what's going on. Well, so August eighth was my last day here on the show, and since then I found out how many people actually care about me and how many people come up with crazy ideas as to why I'm not here. So if I could just to spell a couple of rumors, I'm not dying of COVID. I did not stop coming in because Scary called my daughter and a hole. Scary called his daughter an a hole, and then she actually said, well, maybe

I am. So my youngest daughter listened to the podcast that that that episode, which I think is to and she said, I listened to the podcast, dad. I said, yeah, she has. Uh, well, at least it wasn't me. I'm the youngest. So Scary made sure to point out I was my oldest daughter. So you you're not absent because asshole. I'm also not absent because Gandhi picked a fight with me. Gandhi demanded I be fired. Gandhi hates me. I can't work with her anymore, so I stormed out, Uh, Gandhi

and I have friends. I love Gandhi. Gandi say something, thank you. Where did that one come from? That was like the furthest from the truth. I don't know. I have no clue other than it's other than it's further. I mean I would have quit because it's scary normally, absolutely because a possibility, but not Gandhi. So if you want to hate or hate it for other reasons, but not that, we have a list of reasons to hate her. Yeah.

The only the only good thing is my youngest daughter and my and my middle daughter said to me when they saw because they were monitoring the tweets and the chat room pages and the ongoing conspiracy and you know, love and support, said Dad, Wow, you really do have fans. So to be fair, you knew that all along. Well, but they didn't. But I've been here longer than all three of my kids are born. So to them, this is their life. And they're like, oh yeah, Dad goes

to work. But when I would say, like you know, people like me, like oh yeah, okay, they you know. And when I got verified on social media, they're like, oh, well maybe you're something now. But now now that I have a according to the listeners, a fan army ready to strike, they are they actually believe in something now that I actually have some people like me. Now almost all right, Well let's let's I mean, there are so many layers to this story. I don't where do you

want to begin? Have you thought this through? Like, how how do we get through this? Oh? Yeah, well, so August eight, I said, was my last day. August nine, my oldest stay came back from Europe. She's now back living with me. She had graduated college, went off to study, you know, and go for her masters and whatever, you know, young enough to go around the world. So um, and I realized the after twenty four and a half years, that I have put this job ahead of my Emily.

I always have. It's that kind of job to me, you know, it was always important to stay up late and get up early and go home and not go out and right all night or look for topics and different things and podcasting and all that. And I feel like now is a good time in my life to put my family ahead of my job. Um. You know, I my wife got a nice big raise recently. I'm very proud of her. She's awesome, So that's gonna be helpful.

I have the podcast with Scary. But people also thought I was not I was leaving because I didn't want to move up town. That I'm such a chromogion. I didn't. I didn't want to. I didn't want to move. I would have moved, but it seems like the summer's here, we have vacation, my family's home, and it is a it's a big move to go uptown and pack boxes and and all that, and I thought, I do that.

And I just felt like, if I'm going to make a change, this job as monopolized all the other things I wanted to do, like to write the book I keep talking about. And you and I had lunch lunch where you were a little tipsy. You promised me some things. I'm gonna hold you to it, but You're like, whatever you need, I will help you with. And I thought, well, if he's gonna help me, maybe I can. Maybe I can do some things. So I have some ideas to

some TV shows, which I'll talk to you about. I'm gonna borrow your ghostwriter, hopefully the one that that very lightly helped you write your book, very lightly, you know, check for typos and uh, you know, I pursue some things that you know I didn't accomplish in my life because I'm at that point where I want to accomplish

some other things. But boy, I feel like I've accomplished a lot here, so I don't know what else to accomplish here that I haven't And I just thought, yeah, writings on the wall, I think it's I think it's time to make a decision. And so you gave me off of a day to go to the airport and pick my daughter up, and I just thought, you know, I kind of like this spending time with my family thing and sleeping late. And the thing is is, during

this process, a process has been stressful, especially for you. Yeah. Well, and so we were not allowed to say anything. Yeah, you know, corporate mucketing MUCKs. I know, listen, they've been very gracious in all this, but you know, we have we have paperwork and contracts and different things. And while that's all being worked out, you really didn't want you to talk about it, so we didn't talk about it.

But people thought you weren't talking about it because there was some espionage, right, because Gandhi had you find right, Goddy demanded it was either horror on me. That was That was one of the one of the things I read. I have no idea how much, honey, it would be me. Yeah, well, I'm glad you're here too. Well, I'm glad you're here. I just wish the Peppie Pals didn't do Harroscope so that that was awful. I know, yeah, what have you know? It was It's almost like that I'm thinking the wrong

people are leaving. Yeah. So it was twenty four and a half years ago. We were doing our morning show in Cea Caucus, New Jersey. Elliott and I had a morning show and Danielle and Scary and then one day Elliott walks in and says, Hey, there's this guy. He keeps sending jokes and stuff. Let's talk to him. We don't have a budget, you work for free, and he did so. Dave Brody joined us in our little awful studio in ce Caucus. We were number twenty four in the ratings and after Brodie he got us all the

way up to number nineteen. And as a matter of fact, you worked for how long without getting paid a penny? About a year and a half. He worked for a year and a half. He had had a job managing stores and Starbucks and things like that. Ye him an Express. You came up to me and Express and you were like, Hi, I'm going to work for your show or something. Like that,

and I was just like, what were you? Yeah? Yeah, well I was right, And why why why why did you give up a paying job to come work with us in a little room in a failing morning show and Sea Caucus, New Jersey. Well, many of you guys noticed, But I'm a survivor of childhood cancer and that kind of shaped my life. I tried to find humor in everything because life sucked for seven years of chemotherapy and

radiation and my whole life. I found the way to get people to stop picking on me for not having hair or whatever it was that was they were picking on me for was to make people laugh. And so I started writing song parodies in school and getting in trouble somewhere around sixth grade, and I started to do it part time with some various companies. And then one day I got a cassette of a cassette of all of the work I had done, and I said, gosh, who would want to hear this? Who would want to

buy this? Because somebody was buying it. They were paying me to write thirty dollars of script. That's what I got. And the deal was, I'll take the thirty dollars for the song parody with the commercial script and but I want a cassette. I want my audio. I want a copy of it so I can send it out. I want you know. So I said, well, gosh, who do I like in the morning and who who sounds like me comedy wise? And who plays parodies at the time?

And it was Elvis Elliott and Ze Morning Zoo. So I called the Jew, which was Elliott at the time. I said, I'll call the Jew. He's probably the one who across my fingers. It was one of the two of you. I was like, I'll call Elliott. Plus I can be a little jewy. Yes, you can, as you can um And he seemed a little more loud and brash, and I was like, Hi, maybe he'll appreciate my loud brashness. And I called him. I left a voicemail and I said, hey,

I'd love to send this cassette. And he called me back and he said, hey, man, I appreciate you know you doing that, and you would just come back from Puerto Rico or you're going to Puerto Rico. He said, I'm going to Puerto Rico, but I'm gonna have my producer Scary call you and let's set something up, because what do you want to do with your life? You know, what are you looking to do? And I said, I want to make people laugh for a living. And he said that's what I want to do. You sound like

the kind of person I want to meet. So you guys went to Puerto Rico. Scary called me a few days later and said, hey, man, you got something you want to send in a demo or anything else other than what you already sent. I said, yeah, put some stuff together. And then he gave me a fact number and said, Elliott wants you to facts. Facts. Everybody facts. The telegram had just been replaced and do you want

to facts? End script will produce them and we'll I think I got paid seventy five dollars at that point, Big Rays from thirty and then uh, they said, oh, come in and hang out. One day after like four or five parodies on the air that were well received. I met you guys in March of ninety eight at Connolly's where half the show was there and half the show was back in the studio because it was Mayhem

and things didn't work. Um, and so I think I met Elliott and whoever was there that day and Gary said, oh, they'd love you to come hang out one day, but don't talk in the studio. Okay, They just stand in the corner. Was a rectangular studio. They said, just stand in the corner and don't talk. Elvis does not like when people come in the studio. He doesn't like guests.

He knows who you are. Is that where he got the name, Well, yeah, he called Dave the guy in the corner, Dave Road the guy in the corner, because I stood in the corner the first few weeks. So this guy talks. So Scary had his own little studio in the back. And the first morning I came in, Elvis popped in and he said, oh, hey, Brodie, nice to me you. Everybody loves your work. It's so great you're here. And then I he walked out, and Scary went, seriously, though,

don't talk in the studio. Don't just don't talk, don't laugh, don't say anything. So I stood in the corner and I and at the time I was faxing again freelance jokes to Jay Leno and Bill Maher and Conan O'Brien and whoever was buying my jokes. And so as the show went on. Funny things were being said into news stories. And we had um crumb cake that day. That was the free food. It was a big crumb cake somebody

sent up for whatever. So we wereating crumb cake into a napkins and so I took a sharpie and I was this before smartphones, and I took um took a sharpie to a napkin and I was writing jokes that I was going to fax into Jay Leno later in the day. He's on the West Coast. It was like seven in the morning, and Elvis looks over me and goes, what are you doing over there? I said, I'm just writing jokes for jay Leno on this napkin, and he said, let me see that. He looks at it and he

shows it to Elliott. He goes, that's funny. You gonna stand in my studio and write jokes and you write him for me? That's it. Get him some can do it for me. He goes, get him some scrap paper and a pen. I'm like, jay Leno, he's in my studio. So I stood there and I wrote jokes. And after the show, Elvis looked at me and he said, you come back any day you want, I said, great. So I came back every I was working nights and whatever. I came back in the morning. And after a while

my wife said, you really seem to enjoy this. This seems like a calling for you. You should quit your job. I said, what, you wouldn't have any kids yet, we don't have a house. I make enough money. Quit your job. So I have my wife to blame for all of this, as do you? So thank you? Uh? And I so I did. And I worked here until um Tom Paulman, who was now the president of the Universe, decided to pay me a small amount of money every month, very

small amount of money. And then eventually Elliott left and there was all of a sudden the money. And I worked for you and him at the same time. I went to d C and traveled back and forth, and eventually there was enough money here to come work full time. And I said, you know, by see later, Eliott, and I'm here. So twenty four and a half years later, I come from writing jokes on napkins to this. So it's been a good run and I have a really

good legacy that I'm proud of. This six people that are part of this morning show that I had a hand in being here. They had a much bigger handed staying here, But I had a hand. And I've got former interns that the vice presidents of the company here, like Cinnamon and morning show hosts in this building and around the country who are interns or people I thought highly of. So I hope there's enough people here that will carry on and I will find a way to

make people laugh going forward. Well, since it came up in the circles that you were leaving, a lot of those people approached me and said, God, this is kind of crazy because he's the reason I'm here, and there's there's a lot there's a lot of that going on, right I'm one of those people. You're you are, and you're the one who had him fired. According to the rumors, you had him fired because you're mad at him. Yes, I got ticked. Like the Black Widow spider. You have

sex with her and she kills you. Kills you. Wait, you guys had sex. Yes, also that that would kill me. I reached out to Brody. I think I was like twenty five at the time. Um, I don't know what I was thinking. I applied for a job here and he actually wrote back, and we started like a friendship via email that way a long time ago. And then you know, all these years later here I am, yeah, yeah, I called her. She doesn't remember her phone call. I

remember the phone, but it was an email first. First was very talented ten years ago, and I just kept her in the back of my head and said someday. And you always had an uncanny, incredible way of finding talent. So now what, Well, the Brooklyn Boys will continue for as long as uh Scary wants to do it, hopefully, and by the way, for join them, Yes, Saturday September tent for the three course prefix which includes free dessert

But can you remind people it's just what I didn't understand why they make anything just making a well, research will show you, and I'm sure this is the kind of thing Nate would know. Research shows that it sounds like less money. It does, that's why gas off. And then like, also

Yes, it is It's like there was a commercial least night for some pots and pans, and it was like it you're gonna pay four hundred, no three hundred, no two hundred, no, just five easy payments of thirty what's five cents less than two hundred they catch you on the headies.
