#230: Brown Eggs & Ham

Little sambuca, Okay, you have a large bottle of sambuoka, a little bottle sambuka, Well know, a little a sifter they call a sifter of sambuca when you order it after dessert. You know, they said, let me get a sifter of a sambuca. It's a sifter, not a sniffer. Maybe it's I don't even know, but uh, yeah you can. You can have a little sambuca to night at the Italian restaurant you're going to. Oh god, yeah, I'm going to that place. Emilio's Blatto, the place that you want

to And yeah, the name is like Ruth's Chris. So it was Bulatos and then Emilio bought it. But because it was a famous place, so it's Emilio's really I didn't know that. Yeah, in case you're wondering about the name. Yeah, So go ahead. You hooked for once. Hold on, let's work this date in history. It's a big deal. David Brody hooked me up to get into this restaurant. Rudy had the hook on this restaurant and got me in.

Can you try. Chef Anthony is a big fan of the podcast, but he's been asking both of us to come eat at his restaurant for years. And you know, I'm a man of the people. So I reply back to all my d m s, and I hug. I became friendly with him and I said, you know what we're trying. Then the pandemic hit and that you know, restaurants were closed and then so finally I said, we're gonna go, and so my wife and I went. I may have told you the story. My wife and I

went about a month ago. That was that was yeah, that was the night that we went to a Broadway show afterwards, and then went to Carmines after that and did a chicken palm comparison and Big Clams was good. It's a good night. So you're so you're going tonight thanks to my hook up but on Instagram today, which means you missed it yesterday. Uh Dwyane Wade and his wife were there for dinner. Oh man, I missed him

by a day. But you know what, you never know what the night is gonna bring, because oh, it's definitely a celeb place. It's a who's who kind of place, but it's not boogie. Let listeners know the slices need to understand. This is one of those hole in the wall Italian joints that have that are worn in but still has that cashe where celebrities might stop by in the village. Literally it's on Houston Street. It's literally a hole in the wall because there's a hole in the wall.

The walls in the original walls on the thirties, they're exposed concrete and brick. It's got like that that Oh my god, this place has been it forever kind of vibe but in a good way. But there's only, like I want to say, ten tables in the place maybe, and so it's not a bougie place, but it's a hard place to get into because everyone wants to show up there and because they have basic run of the mill Italian food. It's not bougie Italian. It's like spaghetti

and meatballs and like things like that, right, red sauce stuff. Yeah, I wouldn't call it basic, but I would call it uh, I would call it standard Italian stuff. But it's it's it's very good. You'll enjoy it. Well, thank you so, and I will have another double espresso tonight. Problem. And by the way, I've been on this espresso kick because I have my my machine here. And no, by the way, not a sponsor, not a sponsor. No, it's an espresso. It's an espresso machine. And I'm not not not a sponsor.

But I got a new delivery of coffee, and I was excited to try this Puerto Rican blend. It's a Puerto Rico. It's a Puerto Rican double espresso. Didn't you didn't you date a girl who was a Puerto Rican blend a few years, many years ago, years ago. She was a blend of Cuban, Puerto Rican Dominican that was like years and years. Well, let me know if the coffee tastes similar. Oh that that was gross. What the hell? But anyway, so I put some sambuca in coffin and

and I liked it. There's this there's this some bucal called Molinari. So Molinari comes from Italy. It actually is cheaper than the Romana, which is the classic one that everybody the one with the colosseum on at the blue and silver label. That's the one of the place's car. That's like double the price of the Millinari. However, the Millinari tastes ten times better than the Romana. Romana has a little chemicals and ship. Pardon may, but it does.

The Mollinari comes from Italy and it's it's a better tasting sambuca. So I didn't have my three beans though to put in it. You know, he's supposed to put three beans in every espresso Martini. They put those in the in the espresso Martinez, that's right. They they stand for the things like life, health, and I don't know there's three look google it, don't tweet us. But anyway, they each bean stands for something. And if you if you put any less or more beans in, uh, it's

bad luck. That's what we're saying. Well, you don't. Again, you don't have to tweet us because I can google it. I just haven't. But my wife and I went out to dinner with Two nights ago, my daughter went to see Sabrina Coppenter Webster Hall, madhouse of a place, crazy busy, with a line around the block to get in, uh, you know, like even ticket holders. They lined up early anyway, so we were like, oh, let's kill time while she's

in the concert. We went for dinner on the Lower East Side of Manhattan at a place called Fiasha Terria f I A s H E T T E r I A. Now Alphabet's it's on alphab It's an alphabet city on Avenu see. Alphabet City is one of those neighborhoods that's not a really good neighborhood, but it's trendy but it's not so there's people on the street you're afraid of, but then it's really cool bars and restaurants

and trendy people, very hipster neighborhood. And then also like you feel like you're gonna get killed as you go. Well actually, actually, you know, the Lower East Side starts with Avenue A and then it goes B C D like that A B C D east, it goes east. So there was a time where you couldn't go past Avenue A, like you you wouldn't go east of Avenue A to Avenue B because B, C D were like

the pits. But then they over the years, I guess they just got they got gentrified or whatever you want to call it, and they started doing that in the nineties, they started adding like you know, because the rent was cheap and the real estate was cheap. Actually, the Broadway show Rent was based on the Life Cafe, which I believe was on Avenue B. So in that areas, it was in that area so and and it was like everyone was down and out and and and desperate and stuff.

So rent had a big factor in people moving there and making it a trendy hipster sort of. But again there's also so what so the restaurant how are we on names? And it was on a band street, but but it had it's a beautiful restaurant and had lights outside. So the lights make it stand out like a beacon through the fog of the neighborhood. Yeah, And the reason I'm bringing it up is is that we had uh It's Italian food, but not red sauce Italian food, So we had uh it's like they make their own pasta.

You know, I know who you like this. There's a guy in the corner of the restaurant making fresh pasta. Does he bathe it in in a bowl of a wheel of cheese? Do you ever see the parmesan regiano wheel, the giantass wheel, and they it's carved out in the middle, and they throw the pasta in there, and the hot pasta is in there, and they're tossing it in the

fucking cheese. It's literally even. It's like the cheese cheese is the bowl, and then and then and then they flipped the pasta and then they pour it into your dish. I'm like, oh no, no, wait a minute. It tastes fantastic if you don't think about what's happening, because everybody's food has been in there. Yeah, but it's before it's been in there. That a bet there's other flavors in there. Wait, and and I don't know how refrigerated that cheese is.

Every time the hot food hits it, it cooks the cheese and then it just sits there in the in the in the dining room, not meant to be in the refrigerator. Pomeser On reggiano is supposed to be out is never in refrigerator. In fact, I know, but but once it's cooked by the hot food, I don't know. I feel like something's wrong. Now. Anyway, the guy's making pasta and it's the menus were like printed out pieces of paper um clotheslined like close pin wooden clothes pinned

to a brown paper bag. So one side of the menu was appetizes and one side of the paper bag was was close pinned to print it out of the entrees, very like low key, right, But the food was fantastic, But they come up with the wine list. You know what the wine list was. It's a it's a metal

handled basket with eight bottles of wine. And he goes, here's your wine list, And it's actually the bottles with prices around the neck of the of each bottle, and it says like glass and bottle, that is the wine list. He brought the bottles of wine in a basket, but he is the wine list. Like it was as low key as possible, like rather than print up a wine list, whatever bottles they have, they bring over in the beast. Oh my god, I love that. I love that. Yeah,

but the food was excellent, really good. Now by the way, that wasn't my question. What is your question? I'm sorry to interrupt you. After that, we realized that the content had two more hours, so we went to a local bar and the bar was empty when we got there because it was like, I don't know, seven o'clock, seven thirty,

and so we were like the only ones. There was two people in the whole bar, and I got my wife her usual drink, which is a dirty martini extra dirty extra olives with uh whatever the the vodka she likes that they have at the time, and the guy gave her four olives because she has for extra There were so many of these fat olives that they didn't fit in the glass. She had to put him in.

A guy had to put him. But my wife said that bought tenders as a rule, only give odd amounts of olives, and then it was unusual to get four olives. It is unusual. I've only seen one or three. I've never seen four or two. So I said, maybe it's an extra one for good luck. She's like, that's not how it works, or three, it's usually three. So is the fourth one the extra one? When she said extra olives, yes, then she should then he should have given five then, right,

or she should have done three. Yeah, you're right, odd numbers only or three and then a couple on the side, because but then that would be five. Yeah, but it was it on the toothpick? Four on the toothpick? Was it blue cheese olives? I don't know what. No, No, they were, they were They didn't have anything in them, but one of them had to pick. You know me, I'm a vodka soda guy, but I'm a sucker for a nice, uh dirty martini when they have blue cheese

olives available. If that, if I see that, I'm getting I'm getting a dirty martini. I want you to get to the blue cheese olives. I know you're vodka soda, but weren't you like cranberry soda for a while? Cranberry vodka dude, that was back in the beginning of my drinking days. I as soon as I learned that the cranberry is nothing but sugar and it's not really good for your urinary tract like that, I said, I'm abandoned in the cranberry. I thought it had health benefit. It

does not. That's what you're doing for your healthy I'm gonna have cranberry and yeah, I don't. I figured the cranberry juice because you know what, once again, this is like it's an old wives tail. People said, oh, have cranberry and vodka because the cranberry juice is good for you. Well, no it's not. It's fucking sugar and it's like seventy sugar.

But the time did a woman tell you that? Because you know, cranberry juice and pineapple juice allegedly, um, it makes it makes a sweet, sweet sweet semen, thank you, Jack Harlow, Oh oh, oh, don't say that. I quoting a hip hop a lyric from first class Jack Harlo first version that's said, the version I hear on the radio. Well, because they block it out, I'm gonna try to block out. I'm gonna try to block that out as well. Up in the sky. Hey, So when we come back, I

gotta tell you about the balls on these people. And they're from Brooklyn, of course, the balls on these people, all right, on these people on these people. Okay, I'm waiting. I'm embarrassed to be associated with them. Oh is he your family members? Before the break talking about the people that I don't want to be associated I was gonna go back because it's it's my people, your people, our people,

people from off the people. I made this on the people, now people from So all right, I'm not gonna give names, but I may know they're women, and I may give occupations. You love Maria and Rosalie. Probably I don't know. Um, you know this sucks, but you know we've talked about this place on our podcast before. You know, the Butcher's Block, New Jersey down in there, the place you go to for steak and never invite me that place yet. Um five knives, they're down a long branch. Okay, yes, the

steak knives. We've talked about the stake knives. Yeah, five hundred dollars, did we? And we've talked about we've talked about the stolen steake knives before. That's why I keep saying five hundred dollars, Right. Did we talk about the two women specifically that were caught on camera with the steake knives that they Yeah, it was in during the summer, So just a quick recap. This place has really expensive. They're two steak knives and and and they look like

butcher's mallet. Um not a mallet. What do you call that thing that clevers cleavers. They look like they look like a little mini cleavers, and you cut your steak with them anyway. They cost about two fifty dollars to make, allegedly, that's what they're I'm told, and that if you if you get caught stealing them, or if you don't return them, if if there's six people at the table and only five come back, they will charge you on the bill five to dollars and it will say stolen state knife.

Because they have the balls to do that. Now they try and get the knife back. They do everything they can because they don't want to charge you, and they don't want they want just want their money their knife back. Well, every once in a while people get away with the knife and the waiter or bus boy never sees it, so they find the surveillance camera and the surveillance tape and they embarrass people on their Instagram the block en J.

You gotta follow them um at the block ENJ. So you go there and and and every once in a while they'll put up litteral surveillance tape showing idiots on camera, probably half drunk, like shoving knives in their purses on this one occasion, they posted the video of the surveillance. One woman had fire engine red hair. All right, you're gonna steal a state knight when you fire and fire and and her friend, the two of them, and I heard at the woman the other woman has like a

high profile job for the city. I won't go beyond that. So what ended up happening is the block says we. We tried to get the steake knives back. We saw them. They left without without the stake knives. Our our bad. I'm sorry they left without us finding out. Then our bad. We didn't realize that they did. And then we found the surveillance, and then we called the woman, because keep in mind, every table is attached to a reservation with

a phone numbers. Oopsies, they called the woman's number. She's like, you stole our steake knives. We just want a knife back. Click hung up on her. They keep calling, click, They start the woman's blocks their number of the block. Do they think the block doesn't go quietly? Brodie? So these went so so they put the surveillance tape on on

Instagram and within minutes dozens of people are identifying. I think they took it down by now, by the way, because they eventually got their knives that, um, they embarrassed these women and and and people were like, this is so and so, this is her name, this is what she does for a living. I found her. I know who that is. Oh my god, they're friends with my

friends from Staten Island. I mean, you don't realize how much of a small world this is until you steal stay and they blow up, and they blow you up on on social media. So so they got embarrassed. And keep in mind, do you think they really got embarrassed. This doesn't sound like the kind of woman who gives

a ship the block. Yes, they had to have because the block that they blocked, the block's phone number, and and then and then they blocked the block, they moved the block block, they blocked the block on the phone, so they put them. After the surveillance went up, they you know, they people started giving them hot tips on who these people were. They had the woman's name, and

then they googled her. They found they started putting up their their social media profiles and stuff, and it became like thousands and thousands and thousands of views on social media. Why don't you tell me this as it was happening. Needless to say, these why didn't I tell you? I mean this was I mean month, this was like a month ago in August, and the morning I should tell the podcast time I was going to, I was going

to we were off for a few weeks. It's happening during the time we were off, so so so they finally, I guess it's enough. People called the two thieves and they said to them, Um, you're all over their social media. Why don't you give the knives back? I mean, it's embarrassing to get caught. They're showing video if you're putting it in your fucking purse, and then you just leave

and then you do you ignore everybody and you ghost them. No, no, Well, needless to say, eventually they got there to stay knives back. I spoke to the people at the block. I said, dude, what happened with that? And they were telling me, yeah,

we got our knives back. But fast forward two weeks ago, I was in Brooklyn at my friend's restaurant, Brooklyn Roots, remember another Italian restaurant, Brodie yea yea, And I was in there for this the the the what was it, the sunrise of the sunset of sunset of Sidi Siste. It was a Sicilian dinner. I walk in, sit down, I see these two women that look so familiar to me. It was the woman with the fire engine red hair. And yes, they were having been about four tables away

from me. And I'm telling my friends, those are the fucking knife steelers. But isn't it amazing how I remembered them from social media because of the video that they posted on I mean, talk about embarrassing. I wanted to warn my buddy, Hey, do just just watch table six just gonna take your Sta state knives. I mean, well, did you go over and say hello. I was going to and I was gonna make a funny joke, you know, because you know whatever, n knife to knife to me,

knife to me. But isn't that hilarious? Though? You know, you think you uh, you know, you catch these people. They were caught red handed. Is that even a thing anymore? Red handed? I don't know. Uh? And and then and then they finally give the knives back, but now they have a lifetime of embarrassment ahead of them. It's it's price you pay, It's the consequences. Because the block fought back and put the surveillance tape up on their social I don't know. I find it really hilarious, but um

sad at the same time. I mean because we all know people who have stolen from restaurants, right, like salt shakers and ship Oh sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely, we do know people like that. But you know, I don't do it. Um, you know, but we It's just it gives you it lets you think about it twice now because this so this video cameras everywhere. Why would you want to do anything so foolish, right, especially when it when it's such

a high profile thing. Yeah, right, Like if you're an outback steakhouse and you steal a knife, they're not gonna go after you. But it's not And I have to be honest with you. What do you want the knife for? What do you want to uh butcher blow? I will say, they're really cute and when you're when you're drunk, you may want to steal ane. I warned my so um, I warned my friends who went there. I said, whatever you do, don't steal the knives. I know they're cute

and I know they'll make great little souvenirs. There's nothing like them. They're very unique. They're one of a kind these nights that you can't find them anywhere, so people may, you know, get a little hammered and take the ship. But anyway, these two women are from the neighborhood Brodie. So that's our constituent, and that's the kind of neighborhood we come from. That's where we're from. If there ever was a lesson to be had, it's don't trust trust

where we're from. My wife is a big fan of TikTok restaurants, so she follows a lot of food ease, and so if she sees a well presented restaurant on TikTok that she wants to go to, she'll send it to me. Right she's challenging me to eat at food for your places with fancier food. So she sent me a place. The food looks a little foofy. It's Italian, but it looks delicious, and I have a feeling you may have been there, but it doesn't look like it belongs in the neighborhood it's in. It's a place in

Brooklyn called Fausta. Have you been have? Okay, tell me tell me about real quick, tell me about it is it too fancy for Brooklyn. Where's it's a Brooklyn hipster. Yeah, it looks FONSI. I didn't see anything with red sauce. I've been there, Yes, I've been there with with Robin and let me say sure, this is the one floppersh Avenue. Yeah, that's the one. Been there, excellent, excellent restaurant. But it's so not you I'm looking at. There's like an egg

in the middle of a pasta dish. Although I do see tag LEI a towel with meat on it like it's it's I'll say this, it's um, it's very it's uh Italian food in a three piece suit. Yeah, it's TikTok video. Now it's all dressed down, it's hot, it's it's it's it's it's awesome. It's great food. It's excellent. I'll tell you what. You don't leave with indigestion. I mean no offense to what I'm gonna eat tonight. But you know you eat that crazy. This is NonStop red

sauce and stuff. You know, all of a sudden you're like, oh my god, I ain't too much. I rolled me out of here. I'm gonna food comb I'm gonna have a food baby. Yeah, well though, that's but you're not gonna get that there. You're gonna get just the right amount. It's gonna be so good, you're gonna be able to sleep at night. You're you're not gonna have a or you're not gonna need the Brioski. You know what, boz.

It says alka Seltzer, alka Seltzer, and it's the blue bottle with the white and red label of and it says Briowsky on it. And they look like crunchy cheese, white crunchy cheese doodles. That the best way I can put it. And you put it into your your your seltzer or your your your water and it just fizzes up. Yeah. I I had a Sicilian neighbor. So my my neighbor was living with a guy who was much older than she was. So let's say she was in her forties.

He was in his sixties. Old world Sicilian. One of the best cooks I've ever met in my life. And he talking like talking like this, I look like that. So whenever I was sick as a kid, my parents would give me l alka seltzer, which, by the way, I hate I hate Seltzer. I hated Alka Seltzer. That maybe why I hate Seltzer. But he knows like Brunsky, what is it a Bosky Briowsky? Yeah, not ak Proby. It sounds like something you find on porn hub. That's a pumpkin. Oh yeah, so but he would I guess

that was the Italian. What the Tians did was that the brio sky whatever and and uh and the Jews we had Alca Seltzer b r I O s c H. I look at it and I'll tell you what. They still they haven't changed the the image, the packaging. One Iota Briosky lemon flavored effervescent. I can get it on Yummy Bazar right now for seven and it's it's the big botastic Hey that um that Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. Did they have mac and cheese? Which one the wells Again,

it's so fancy. They switched up the menu all the time. It's seasonal and then they do you know, they do like specials and things. All right, they probably don't have mac and cheese, but they don't. I'm I'm gonna go with no, you know what, mac and cheese is right. It's uh, you know what it is. I want I want to I want to shout out bell m B seventeen, b e l l m B seventeen who tagged me in a post. There's a woman on Twitter. Now, uh, this,

this speculation is to uh uh. People were believing this, and I just want to say, it's another one of those false acronyms. So she tweeted, you don't need to call it mac and cheese. Mac is already an acronym for mac and cheese. You might as well say a T M machine. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no. Mac is not short for mac and cheese. Not mac is short for macaroni. It's macaroni and cheese shortened to mac and cheese. Yes, yes, and then I and then uh. But I also noticed how many people were like I

was today. I swear to god, scared, mind blown. I had no idea. And then people are saying, I say TM machion all time, what's the problem? No, I needed to that from the ground. But the mac and cheese was another one. Yeah, it's the scary. Have you ever thought something was dead and it wasn't like a relationship. Yeah, yeah, Well I'll tell you, like you haven't see something in the street though it was dead, then it moved, oh like a creature, like an insect or something or a rotus. Yeah, yeah,

like that. So my pool is still open. Today is October seven. I have a heated pool, and it was supposed to close on Monday, so a few days ago, and it rained and then so the pool company didn't come, and so it's still open. So I figured, if it's gonna stay open, I'll keep it clean. Because usually when I know the guys coming, I take the vacuum out, I turned the heat off, I turned the pump off, and I let it sit. And then he shows. I

don't care to point, well, he didn't come. So now I have leaves in my pool, and because the leaves are falling, so I go out to the pool and I'm cleaning out the leaves with the long handled netting, and I would tell you scary every summer or every season. I finally I find one to three dead chipmunks in the little filter basket that you lift out to get the leaves out on each side of the pool. And they're dead and they're they're like, um, they're stiff, like

uh rigor mortis is set in. So what I have to do is I have to get gloves and take the basket out. Then I dump it onto like a handheld skimmer and I and I fling it like a look like a highlight player. This is the side, the dark side of the Yeah. Yeah, And by the way, I would still rather have the chipmunks in my pool, Dad than you anyway. So I'm cleaning out the leaves and I see in the corner of my pool, not

in the filter basket. In the corner of my pool is a floating what I believe to be dead chipmunk, little dead chipmunk, And I go, oh, I should have closed the pool yesterday and this guy would be alive. I feel terrible. So I get a couple of more leaves out. I don't rush over to him immediately, and then I stick the hand skimmer in the pool to

lift it out and fling in the forest. Sure, well, when I put it in the water, he reacts to it or she, I don't know how he identifies and and and the little chipmunk starts doing the dog paddle, which I guess is the chipmunk paddle as well. And he's like trying to get out of the pool. Oh my god, he might just go do it the backstroke, going for a swim, and then you just came in there with the shocker. No, I think he was like I think he was floating, but like out of breath.

Like for the split second I was there, he wasn't. Well, maybe he was playing dead, like, oh, just gotta cheese it. The guys coming with the net look out. So he stopped moving. So I go under and scoop him to try to like put him on the deck of the pool. So when I do the scoop, he starts running up the thing towards my arm. Oh my god. So what do I do? What would you do at that point? I would drop the net. I'd get it. I get the funk out of that, and I throw my hands

up or something. I don't know. So I have I have a handheld skimmer, which which it's supposed to be the end of the stick, but I'm holding the part that goes into the handle. So it's really like a foot long maybe, and it's like a you know, it's it's like a tennis racket basically with no handle. And so I I don't drop it, because my arm is over the pool and if I drop it, he's going back in the water. So I go, I push it forward to make it past the edge of the pool

onto the concrete the tiling around me. So he goes flying and lands on his feet and it doesn't move. I assumed he was going to run off. So he stops like, oh my god, I broke his legs. Oh my god, it broke his legs, or I killed him. He's now not moving on the deck of my pool, which means number one, I gotta pick him up. Number two, I saved him from drowning and killed him on the sidewalk. Well again, scary. Now what would you do. He's laying there,

he's soaking wet. Or she to it and stamp next to it, like stamp my feet loud, make a loud noise if it runs away, and you wouldn't be afraid it would run up your leg. Now at that point, now, okay, I'm much bigger than it. I leave it and I go, oh my god, it's in the deep end of my pool, on off to the side, you know, out on the deck, and oh my god, I feel terrible. Now what do I do. I'm like, if he has a broken leg, to take him to a vet, Like, I don't know

what to do. He's not moving, So I go about doing the rest of the pool, getting the leaves out, and I see him. He stands up slowly like a fighter who got punched out, and he he shakes off like a dog, wet dog, and he scampers off. He must have been like knocked cold by the flight I had. I had a non flying score, all flying, and I must have knocked him out because out of my hat rocky, yeah, gee, rocky. So yeah, watch me pull a squirrel out of my pool?

Excuse me? Uh, chipmunk? Yeah, compression on my part. I know, Yeah, that was great. Um, what is your dog howling at? Is there another chipmunk in your pool? What's going on over there? You know what? My other two dogs have been groom today, so he's alone. Uh and so that's Percy Percy. See the Bijan's actually get groomed every Percy. Come on, Yeah, we're doing a podcast over here. What's going on? I'd love to know. Oh, I don't mute the microphone. No, I'm not gonna yell in the mic.

We yell away from the mic. What's your dog yelling at? Who's here? Per se? Yeah, come here, get a cookie. He can't come because I have the gate up on the Okay, he's barking at somebody. Maybe you have an intruder or something. No, it sounds different when he balks on this intruder like a dog pirate. Well, um are you? Um? So what else is going on here? I have? I have a bit of a rant. Actually, And people heard this who listened to the Elvis the Rant Show this

morning heard this rant this morning. Elvis, let me go off for a good minute on the show because this is just unacceptable and this is just needs to be this people need to learn for life and not to take ship. Because I did not hear it because it was earlier than when I got up. So this is new to me. This new It will be new to you and to a lot of people that don't listen

to the show or don't listen live. Okay, though I was on the show today, Yes you were, so, I called in as we go to break, why don't you explain where you're gonna be if people hear this podcast in the next twenty four hours, Well, why don't I tell you after the commercial, because it's a whole long to do? Is it to do? Or is it much to do? Is it much to do about nothing? Oh? It's much to do about something? How about that? How about that road? Now? Um, okay, I'm not as wound

up as I was earlier this morning. I'm gonna try and be calm about this, but I'm no calm about a ranch. All right, this is all right. Listen. You've heard me talk about the perfect omelet on this podcast before. Right, Yeah, you're you're you're finishing your omelets. First of all, you don't eat the bulk eggs at the buffet, you know, right, I hate bulk eggs. I want the omelett guy making

omelets live because it's fresh. Now, I'm supposed to prerecord it, not when they make it live, as opposed to write. We'll do it live, and they do it in front of your face. You know what I'm saying. That's what I like. I don't like. You don't like. I don't like scrambled eggs in a shafing dish pan that are like like half coagulated, half watery and quagulated quagulated. I you put out that word coagulated, coagulated. I don't like that.

I want my egg cord like cardboard, so so and and and this goes for anyone who has had a breakfast sandwich, and and it's like, fuck, man, this sucks. You're a breakfast place. You do this for a living, You do this over and over and over thousands of times a week. You should know how to make eggs for people, right, It's very simple task. And furthermore, people should get a decent egg sandwich or egg product because again, at the beginning of the day, you're setting the table,

you're setting your tone for your morning. You've got to have something. But how do you funk up eggs? Well? I got an omelet this morning from the place that I always said that I will never fucking order from because they fucked me over ten times. And then today Andrew from The Big Show comes in and says, we're ordering from that place against Gary. I always say no, and I'm like, they always sucked me over, and then today I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna give them

an eleventh chance. The omelet shows up. It's fucking brown. Is the day is long, fucking brown, crusty, fucking omelet. Brown eggs has nothing to do with brown eggs. I don't care brown and white eggs. Does that mean I'm talking about the final product. That means they threw no not enough butter on the grill, or they threw pam on there, or they let the butter burn, because the butter burning butter, and then you throw the egg on top of burning butter, it will fucking turn the whole

thing brown. It will suck you over. Burning butter is brown. It was the bitter brown, fucking burned eggs. So I was, is that like the crappy crepe? So in the crappy crepe? So I started pitching on air. I was screaming. I was like, I never saw you get so angry, like he was laughing his ass off, because I would personally had. I was like, you know, it totally totally fucked up my morning because all I wanted was just an omelet it and they should be light and fluffy. You cook

him slow and low. If you cook slow and lowe I said that on the air, nobody got it. And if you cook him slow and low, you will always get the perfect egg and perfect omelet, the perfect scramble whatever, slow and low. Yes, you're supposed to have butter in there, or margarine or whatever the funk you put in there, olive wi who cares, grease chrisc It doesn't matter if this. If that ship is burned and it's too hot, it

will fucking burn the egg immediately. So it tasted like it had the consistency of like a fucking like a sponge. It was like a spongy, disgusting mess. And I let let them hear it. I fucking let them have it. And I didn't mention the place on the air again. You know, businesses are struggling everywhere. I don't want to go off on them, but man, oh man, why the fuck can't you make an egg? If that is what you do, you are a breakfast place. There's no excuse,

no excuse. There's a and and and there's a right and a wrong way to do eggs. And I don't mean to be a bit about it because people are sitting there right now say it's scary. You're such a bougee asshole. But you know what, you shouldn't sub You should not stand for subpar breakfast food either. When it comes to eggs, and by the way, it was not just the eggs. The bacon was as greasy as fuck. And then the the toast was like it was it wasn't even toasted. It was like a flimsy piece of

half toasted bread. It was the suckiest piece of And the hash I don't even I didn't even talk about the fucking hash browns. The hash brown was mush mush and a plate. I'm like, what the funk is this? If I consume this entire meal, I'm gonna go home. I'm needing somebosky. I need something. It was the most disgusting thing. I'm like, how the fund do they serve this?

And andally that it costs a lot of money. You're paying a lot of money for these, for these breakfasts, so it just gets your day off on the wrong way, and you people should, but people settle for the subpar breakfast. If more people complained, it's that don't. These eggs are fucking brown and fucking burned. Take them back then people will do better. So what they say, what they say.

When you called and complained, I knew you're gonna get me on this because you just you just said, what I do you just said, if people complain, they'll get better. I threw it in the garbage pail and I and I fucking cursed them out and walked off. That was Wow, you are a failure in my eyes. Sir. Well, we were doing a radio show. We were doing the morning show. I couldn't like stop and go in the back room. You know, we had stuff to do on the radio.

I could have just it, just the the show takes ten minute breaks to go to commercials and songs and everything. You could have called. You could have had somebody call and then when they were on the phone, run no, let them get away with it. Now, tom, are they gonna sunk up somebody's eggs? But the thing is this more people need to not complain, but get in there and be like, no, this is wrong. Do over over and then you and then you did at some point

the place. But the thing is nobody's done that. The thousands and thousands of customers. You just can't do it. What if they what if they nine complaints and they were waiting for one more complaint to fix the problem and get a new egg guy, and you didn't. I don't want to get fired either. I just want someone to like teach these people how to make a basic thing. How are they going to know if you don't tell them.

You can't say I want someone to complain. My point is people every day are suffering and just sitting there eating a breakfast that's like half like like I say, Okay, this is whatever. It's it's it's it's barely passable, but it's edible, so I'm just gonna eat it. It sucks. You shouldn't have to say that at the end of your your breakfast sandwich. It should be fucking like boom, that was so good, and it puts you in a it catapults you to a better mood. Like because there's

one place we go to. I always it always has the opposite effect. I always feel like, Wow, I'm having the best day ever. And I realized it because the breakfast was quality. Those were great, perfectly scrambled eggs. They were light and fluffy. The avocado it was nice and been sliced. They had a nice fresh croissant, a croissant that for breakfast today. Yeah, that's why you didn't complain.

That's why you didn't call them, because it wasn't your money, because it wasn't your money, because if because if I was there and he bought the breakfast, I still would have said something on principle, why should he Why should he pay for breakfast? And then he gets shipped product for his employees, for his co workers. You should have said something. But I'll tell you what. I went to dinner over the weekend last weekend, and I didn't complain

about something. You would have been proud of me. Let me tell how is this possible? Well, this is happening. This is happening. This is like the third time this has happened now in a month. We went to a restaurant that I'm not gonna say the name, but it sounds like Reasons, David Brodie's hologram. I'm talking to you right now. No, No, the restaurant. It sounds like Reasons,

but that's not the name of it. If you have dyslexia, maybe Okay, So I ordered my wife ordered, uh, I don't know, tuna, a salad with like tuna tartar, like steak, tuna filets around it, whatever. And I had the pork chop on the bed of yukon mashed gold potatoes. Okay, meat and potatoes. That's me, you know, that's my plate and the So when we got there, the first thing we ordered was a flatbread pizza. So we said, oh what what flatbread pizzas? We can't decide which one we

should get. So the girl says, hey, um uh, I would recommend the pesto pepper one. Um. But um there's one that's not on the menu. It's a Philly cheese steak flatbread. It's not on the menu, but it's really really good. I said, well, why is it on the menu. Well, it's a special, but it's like limited time and it's not on the menu. I said, we'll have that because we couldn't decide. We're like, oh yeah, my wife and

I love Philly Cheestead. We'll have that. So she comes back, she's, ah, we're out of the seas what what SHOs we just sold the last one. I go, no, you didn't. How's that possible, doesn't I understand you. You order the hallebit or the snapper, and then they're fresh fish to come in and that's the last piece of the night, and seeing we're done, but how do you run out of steak? They must have been out of the right they must have been out of steak comes all right, So we

ordered the flatbread. Okay, we ordered the flatbread and was sitting there for like fifteen twenty minutes. There's no flatbread coming the way. It just comes back and she sees that we have our drinks and she says, oh, how is the flatbread? So I said, I wouldn't know. It never came. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I told him the old I told him so. Then, so then like two minutes later, he comes out with the flatbread and he brings it to us, and it was fine.

And then our food comes out, my wife's salad comes out, and my pork chop comes out, and my pork chop has the diamond grill marks, but an inch around the edge of the pork chop, a semi circle c of my pork chop is charred, black, burnt semi circle well like like a crescent, like a crescent of of an inch around like try and brand it. And they trying to tell you something. No, I think the flame was shooting up and it burned the edge of my pork chop. So I said, well, you know what, maybe it's just

the the sauce. Maybe that got blackened. And it's like, you know, so I take a little piece off and it's it's like it's like two a piece of charcoal. It's so, I said. My wife says, you go ahead, you send it back. So the waitress comes over and I say, listen, this is burnchers. Oh I'm so sorry. I'll get you on the okay. It sounds like right there, that sounds like a complaint. Well, well i'll come on. So uh the uh the manager comes over. Uh. So they bring me a new pork chop and it's fine,

it's not burnt. Now my wife is you know, this is the typical thing. She's half done with her salad. Now I have to race to catch up to heart. Right. The manager comes over and she says, oh, I'm so sorry. Is the second pork chop better? I heard what happened to the first one? Yes, it's fine. You know, it's okay. So we're also a little disappointed about the like she steak flap bread we were told we could order and we're out of it. She's you have it's very popular.

I'm sorry about that, but I'm sorry about your pork chop. But I'm glad that the second one is good. Just have a nice night and she walks away. That's it's kind of shittydn't say anything, you know, all for anything whatever. That's what that's my typical free dessert story. When I was a manager. We burnt your steak. You're the other people at table are eating, You're waiting for your food to be redone all for your free dessert. So I'm like,

so my wife says, well I was disappointing. Yeah, all right, So that they come over at the end of the meal and she says, would you like to see the desserts the dessert menu? Sure, So she comes over and she's got like a spiral staircase, a little glass cups that you would see it like t g I Fridays. They're like three inch high individual desserts. And she's like, oh, we have term Sioux cookies and cream and s'mores and pumpkin and whatever. Uh, she's would you would you like one?

So like, well, we'll share one. They were three dollars, scary, three dollars each. We had one. The bill comes right, she doesn't take the dessert off of our buil dessert No, no, no one ever offered. So my wife says, well, you're not getting free dessert tonight. So I was like, all right, I'm not gonna I'm gonna say thing. We're off for not I'm dressed up nicely for because it's an upscale place, right, it's it's right now. It's near Capital Grill. We always

go to Capital Grill. It's a fancy shmancy place. Right. It's not like Boogie Boogie, but it's upscale. Right. It's not t g I Fridays, which I love. It's a it's a cut above A. Again, it sounds like Reasons. So we got home. We go home. That was Saturday night. Monday, my wife texts me and says, call me now. I said, what's going on? She said, well, I got an email survey. How is my experience at Reasons? So I wrote back what happened? The food was good, but and was disappointed

that the manager didn't do anything. That's it. She said, she wasn't gonna complain, but they asked her her opinion. They sent her a questionnaire. A woman from customer service calls them, I'm sorry. The general manager of the of the restaurant calls my wife an hour later and says, we just got your survey. I'm terribly sorry. We will be sending you a fifty dollar gift card. So we we didn't, right, but they gave it to you anyway. So my wife got free desert because she filled out

to serve all. You're a couple, you're a couple, and you're a couple of somethings. Yeah, but my point is she wasn't gonna say anything. I wasn't gonna say anything. We were disappointed, but we weren't gonna say anything. They sent up the questionnaire, they got what they asked for, and I got fifty bucks towards more than free dessert. So there you go. So I didn't complain. I still got free dessert. Bertie. I'm very very proud of you. See the free dessert came. It was does free dessert

karma Karmakara. The karma came, see yeah, alright, was covered in caramel to not really not that. At some point. Now, the next time we come back from commercial scary, I gotta tell you what I'm doing a comic con and what I'm releasing today and what I have on sale. But before that, we are going to take a commercial, and I'm gonna have somebody on the phone coming up next. Because we're not a sports podcast. On my story, we have to talk. We have to talk to somebody talk

about that. Also, I'm infuriated with this person for everyone's everyone how they at land A Braves. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Okay, but this opinion it is wrong, which is also an opinion. It's not anyone I know? Is it? The Boys Podcast? Excuse me? Why I make this phone call here? Do? Hopefully? She answers, Oh, yeah, yep, I gotta do this. Do you have red hair? Yes? Oh? Danielle. Hey, Hey, it's Scary and Brodie Brodian Scary the brook Boys Podcast. Hey,

Brodie and Scary Scary and Brodie. How are you? This is the second time I'm talking to you today, Danielle. I know, it's like I mean, I feel like I've honored. Actually, I was talking to Greg Tea about you today, the Jersey Kid. What were you saying? Yes, because he is so excited for you for Comic Con and the fact that you're doing this with wacky packs and he was

like packages, wacky packages. Yes. Well, I uh, I interacted with Greg t Let me tell you some about the Jersey kid, Danielle, if you if I might inter up for a second. I texted him last night and I said, hey, I have I have a new song for you, which I'll give details about later. It's my new Mets song. And I said, like, if you want to play it on on your radio station, it's more of a rhythmic dancy song that your station would probably play over over in New York. So T sends back. You can't stop

him from texting, Oh my god, I'm so excited. I said, look, I gotta go. I'll send you in an email. But I'm getting back in my pool a pool. What are you doing any pool T? I have the heater on. Let me go. I have I'm watching the football game in the pool. I gotta get back in the pool. I'm getting called. Don't don't text me. I gotta go. What do you mean your TV T? I really want to get back in the pool. You can't get back in the pool. I understand. How do you do the TV?

This morning this morning scared, he tells me, hey, listen, we want you to call into the show at a twenty to talk about what you have going on? I said, great. So T texts me at eight ten and he says, hey, man, I got the song. I got some questions. I said, well, listen, uh, everything's in the email. Everything you need to say about the song is in the email. But I'm I'm getting ready to go on the morning show with you know,

I'll talk to you later. What do you be a comic con? Why would you do to comic con? T? Look,

I'm about to call into the show. This is amazing. I'm so proud of you, bro, I said, okay, great, don't text anymore. I'm good, so he writes, fact, but do you understand this is a big deal. This is something you you like to since you're a kid. That's amazing. Listen, I can't play the song.

I can't play this song because we're going two hours commercial free and it's NonStop music. So I back, it's okay if you don't play this song, it's fine. Have a great morning. I'm calling in now. He sends me a screenshot of his computer log where he plays the music out of on on his station to show me all the music that's lined up. I go, okay, stop texting me. I believe you. I'm not mad. Bro. You know I love you stuff. I would play it, but

Whatever you do is fine. Are you sure it's okay? Whatever you do, Tay, I'm going on the air. Stop texting me, all right, Bro, I won't text you again. He has to. He has to text me that he's not gonna text me anymore. That's great. Tea in a nutshell. Now I'm gonna get upset about

Danielle because I know how Danielle is. Well, Danielle, by the way she is, she's got no Danielle doesn't even doesn't know what first all, Daniell doesn't know why I'm calling. I didn't know why you call. You don't even tell dan He didn't tell me. He said, you have an opinion on sports, and I already know what it is. We're not even you saying a word. I know what it is. I don't. So I'm gonna let you go.

Let let her talk, and but and let let me explain, let me lead Danielle into what she's And Brodie had no clue I was even calling you or whatever. But no, but the other day was I was. I was mad at Danielle in two thousand when they played each other in the Subway Series because I know what she's gonna say. This has nothing to do with that. Okay, okay, now, okay, now, alright, so you ever Okay. Obviously, Iron Judge uh set American League history. He surpassed Roger Marras sixty second home run

to his sixty six one. YadA yanda, we all know that now the as it turned out, the guy who caught that ball, all right, the second No, this is not going in the direction Bronie may think. It is the guy who caught that ball, all right, the sixty second home run. Danielle was doing the story and then the other day on the on the air, and then Danielle imparts her opinion during the story all right, which which she'll tell you in a second, and then me and lat Nate on the show look at each other like,

is she fucking crazy? What what Danielle? Right? No, no, no, no, no, it's not no, this isn't it's an opinion. Hold your fire. Why don't you explain what your opinion is about the guy who caught the sixty second home run from Aaron Judge and what he should do with the ball? Go for it. My opinion is that in my eyes, the ball belongs to Aaron Judge. But hopefully, but hopefully, Aaron Judge would take that ball and put it in a museum.

Let's the you know, the fancy it do things that it maybe bring it to children's hospitals and you know, stuff like act I think that if this guy, it looks the guy is not even a Yankee fan that caught it. It was a Yankee fan. If he was a Yankee fan, I would say, okay, if you want to keep it for yourself, for your family, for your kids, that's a different situation. Maybe this guy is not even a Yankees fan. He wasn't even more a Yankee hat

he was doing that. Okay, I just think, don't be a greedy bastard and give the sucking ball back to Alan Judge and maybe Alan Judge will be kind enough to give you a little something. Now here's just just goes to show Danielle as sweet. She is so sweet as apple pie and so innocent. But the guy, by the way, by the way, Corey Yeoman's is the guy who caught it. All right, Now here's the thing. This is Oman's, Yeoman's, Yeoman's whatever the point, My my whole

take on it was. Listen, it's what's fair is fair. Nobody gives back home run balls anywhere or any type of ball. The ball goes to the stands. That rule is that person gets to do what they want to do with it. Now, the right and by the way, this is good old fashioned capitalism. Sports is a business. These guys. These athletes get paid a lot of money for sports contracts, do they not. They paid the big So the whole thing is a business. So that means Corey, yes,

I should make some fucking money on this ball. Apparently he was offered two million dollars just yesterday. It was originally it was worth from the get those two million dollars, but of course it's going to be eventually worth a lot more than that. An auctioneer offered him two million. He has not, he said, not not a hard pass. This guy is gonna milk this for the best in his ability to get the most possible that he can. And guess what I say, pat on the back, God

bless him. That's what he should be doing. Why do you think that he's just handed over without any promising anything, no negotiation here. The reason why is that it means a lot to a person like Aaron Judge. I mean, I think about what he did in history. You know how many other people can say they did that, and how many people will ever be able to say they do that. So for him, this is a very special It's a It's one of the most amazing things that I've ever been done in baseball, and like, I feel

like that guy Corey didn't hit the ball. He just happened to be a lucky fan. That exact let me go. Brody's so angry. I knew you'd be pissed. So this is typical, Danielle. Danielle, you are better than all of us. I have to say you are. But you you had said this, if this guy was a Yankee fan, he could keep the ball and give it to his kids and his family and it'd be awesome. Right, Well, maybe I didn't. Definitely I said, maybe I would understand a

little bit. Guess what he's going to give his kids. Ferrari's like that a lot, I know, Buck Rhodish, let me finish. Yeah, go ahead. He's what I'm gonna say about Judge. He's a great guy. He's going with kids, and I think and I think he's also looking at it like this, like you know what to him, he's not going to be the stucker to pay two million dollars for his own ball. But okay, but think of

it this way. Think of it this way. If you made a hundred thousand dollars a year and you wanted your ball back and the kids said in real life. Let's say you wanted something and the kids like, give me a thousand dollars, and it meant the world to you. You make a hundred thousand dollars a year, you'd come up with thousand dollars, right, You might come up with thousand dollars, absolutely, absolutely, But if you hit the ball right and it was a thousand dollars, okay, you want

to get back thousand dollars. You make a hundred thousand dollars, A thousand dollars a lot of money, but you can put something together. You come up with a thousand dollars if you had to. Aaron Aaron Judge was offered a contract by Yankees for two hundred and seventy something million dollars approximately, and he turned it down. He then had the greatest hitting season of any baseball player in the history of American basis. That's why he turned it down.

Would happen well, but that no, he would never Nobody would look he bet on himself, But no one would ever think in a million years a guy who was often injured, often didn't live up to expectation, would have the greatest hitting season in the history of baseball. He's gonna get a contract. He's gonna get a ten year, maybe maybe an eight year, nine year, almost four hundred million dollar contract from somebody, and probably the Mets and

not the Yankees. So if I'm telling you he's going to be, it's either going to be the Yankees or it's gonna be where he grew up, the San Francisco Giants. Okay, But what I'm saying is a man who's worth who signs a four hundred million dollar contract to him four million dollars is a thousand dollars to a person making a hundred, and the Yankees the Yankees. If he wants to resign with the Yankees, he can very easily say, I want you to work that ball into my contract.

There you go and get and get the billion dollar Yankee organization to pony up three million dollars to the kid, give the kids major League Baseball tickets to every team in the league for all he want, whatever he wants because it's his bucket to the Yankees and they go, Aaron, we got your ball back. They make a nice jetch

to Aaron. Aaron gets him million dollar contract. The team gives him the ball like a gold watch to a normal person and everybody's but yeah, but that kid should take that ball and bury it until somebody gives him three million domes straight. And you know, Danielle said on the air the other day, she goes, he should do the right thing and just give it to Judge. Me. To me, I would I would be like, oh, I get to me Aaron Judge and he's gonna give me

tickets to a game. And I get like being the crazy Aaron Judge Yankee person, Like, to me, that's cool enough. I'm not thinking about the money. I'm thinking about oh my gosh, and get and then and then you go home and you tell your British husband, your beautiful, handsome, polite, fun British husband, Sheldon, you gave away a ball were three to four million dollars because you wanted to meet some guy for two seconds when you meet celebrities every day,

and he's gonna go great. And if you caught the sixty and you would have turned that shipped over from for a hundred thousand dollars and season tickets. Danielle, do you know what happens when you have no negotiation and no contract and no work, You get Jack dick. And here's how you got that. I'm gonna give you an example of the Mark McGuire situation when when he hit, he's in the National League, of course, a different than the American rights, right, yeah, right, with an asterisk, we

know whatever. So that home run to all aster risk, that home run ball, okay, went to somebody, so that somebody said, you know something, here's what I want. I don't want money. I want to give the ball to Mark McGuire, but I want to meet Mark reguire, and I want an autograph jersey and this and that and the other thing. You know. Mark McGuire said, fuck him, I don't want to meet him. No, I will give him an autograph uniform and an autographed U bat whatever

the case. So that guy said, well, then fuck you two then, and I think it's he's sold it for how much money? Brodie for crazy money? Because and and he was. That was a guy being nice. He basically worthless because Barry Bonds hit exactly steroids. So but the point is that's what happens when you don't when you don't go for the jugular and you don't get you gotta play hardball. How about how about the Tom Brady

football guy. Though, how about that Tom Brady. He caught Tom Brady's last NFL pass before You're tired, and he sold the ball for like what are a cell for? At one point five million of no, no, some guy bought it. Some guy bought the ball from him, some sub yeah, and then two days later he retired in the balls worthless. You would have been worthless. Oh, she caught his balls on a nightly basis, but lofferent anyway. I wanted. I wanted to get Brody's gander up. I

wanted serious. Well, I'll tell you what I thought Danielle was gonna say, because I thought it was about the Medicine the Yankees both being in the playoffs, which doesn't always happen. Because when the Medicine Yankees played in the World Series. I didn't hate the Yankees. I hate them. But daniel was like, no, it's New York. He got a roof football teams. She has no anger in her none. I love it. She doesn't have a harm harmful ball, Danie.

Let me tell you something. If the Yankees and the Mets both go to the World Series, I would of course be a Yankee fan and root for the Yankees. But if the Yankees don't make it to the World Series and the Mets make it to the World Series against whoever, I'm going to go for the Mets because here in New York teams, yes see, Danielle Dance makes me. I have to balance. The only team that you would never see me ever root for before I dropped dead

is the Boston Red Sox. And you know that my dad would have a freaking heart attack looking down at me if he ever saw me do that. That's why, that's why when the Red Sox played the Mets in the eight six World Series, it was the greatest thing ever, because Yankee fans had nobody to root for Danielle on her way to Right now, I'm actually leaving in a few minutes. I'm going to Comic Con, so we'll let you go and then Brodie's gonna talk about what he's

If you catch the ball, you know there some kind of famous ball, give it to me, and I promise I'll give it to I'm sure I can trust you absolutely, good bye bye. Oh oh that makes me so lang. I know I was so I was. I was flippant with her. What you don't just give it away? You know, if you if you catch a guy's first home run, right, I give it back because this is like his his memories, his

first ever, and then it's gonna be worthless. Right, well unless unless he goes on to become an Aaron Judge of course. Right. You don't know. But you give the ball back, you get a jersey, season tickets, whatever you want. You work it out. I give the ball back absolutely. But on the sixty home run, uh, you know, if you feel that that's the record, that you gotta take the three million. You gotta take the money. That's millions you're talking about. I know millions, absolutely Capital is a

baby capital. So speaking of comic Con, why don't you explain to everybody what's going on with your Wacky Packages, which, by the way, I would expect my advanced copies of those in the mail, but I didn't seem to see those today. Well, I have not gotten them, and I'll tell you why. They were printed in Florida a couple of days before Hurricane Ian hit. They got stuck in North Carolina and they just made it out of North

Carolina two days ago. I was told they might not even be a comic Con in time for me to sign them, but they're gonna be there now. So I don't have any yet. They're sending me some I have. I'm gonna print them, put them on my walls, like blow them up and frame them. So. Wacky Packages are collectible stickers made by the Tops card company. They famous for baseball cards, but they also they made garbage pail kids, which scary collected. Love them. I have every single one

of them. Anybody want to want to buy them? Want to buy them? There for sale? They got the full set Yep, they can be valuable. And uh Neil, the artist who drew the Wacky Packages I'm gonna tell you about in a minute, drew a lot of garbage pail kids. So wacky packages are everyday items you find in the store, and they're stickers of them, but their puns parodies trying

to make them funny. So like when I grew up, a Jax was a Jerks and it was like an aid on the thing, and it was like, you know, for morons who want their sinks clean, whatever it is. That Cover Girl Cosmetics was cover Goal and it was like a witch on the thing. And and that's so it's like a pun. You changed the name of the product a little bit. So I met the guys from Tops when they came up to the morning show, and

I said, you know, I love Top spaceball cards. I collected HI when I was a kid, but you know my favorite was Wacky Packages. And I'm a comedy writer. I've always wanted to, you know, right for you guys at least one to say I did it. And they said, oh, well, we'll put you in touch with Frances. He's in charge of the Wacky Packages division. And h I said, what you're kidding me? Wow, they'd be great yea. Anyway, So so I emailed Francis, and Francis said, oh, we'd love

for you to to write a few. I would love to make your dream come true. Why don't you send in? Uh, we'll do like five, We'll do like a set of five. I said, that'd be fantastic. So and it took me about an hour. I wrote up five and I sketched. I didn't sketch them, but I laid them out, like put this in the corner and put that up there, and put this here, and this is all the puns I wrote and everything I sent in, Uh six, I

sent in five. One got cut. I wanted to do a parody of Carrol Syrup k r O, which is the brown syrup use for pecampie. And it was gonna be Karen Syrup one sip and you'll demand to speak to the manager and to be a woman yelling and a guy behind the cat love that, And they said, uh no, that might offend people. Mike, who's gonna offend Karen's They get offended by everything, like Nope, the senses will never approve it, They blum, they they blocked it. So then I had you know those pop Funko's, the

fun Oh yeah, the fun pop puns. That's right, Yes, I'm very familiar with them. That they got the big heads and the and the with the big heads. So I did. I did poop Funko poop and I had like Pooperman and I was like a little Superman guy but like the ship logo on his chest, the poop emoji instead of the Superman ass. And they drew it

up and they and the sensors were like nope. I did short ones for smart ones, the the healthy meals, and they said no to that too, But I did get uh four approof of the five stickers coming out, four mind got approved, and then one one is a copy of what the rapper would look like, so it's a rapper with all of the covers, and then the other four that I created, So I will be signing

those at Comic Con October eight, which is tomorrow. I help you get this in time for at at one o'clock at the Tops booth, which if you have the map when you walk in, is too eight one nine booth to eight one nine is a big booth for Tops Boiler cards and baseball cards and wacky packages. I'll be there with the artist Neil uh signing autographs. And they went on sale today, well actually last night, for one week only. That's how they do it. It's a

special limited edition set of five. It's the New York Edition. They're calling it because it's me. And you can go to my Instagram at David Brody and the little link in the bio and you'll see the link to Bye, it's a set of five. I think it's um Now get this. This is where I have to appeal to the place. Go for it. Nobody said anything to me. There's no promises. This is not a job. I don't

have a job with them. This is just one of those hobby things I wanted to do when I told you why I was knocking down the morning show anymore. I wanted time to do fun, creative things and not be bogged out or will waste my not not waste, but use my good stuff on the show. And then when wacky package is like right, something, I go, I got anything, I used it for the show. So I'm I'm you know, I'm saving up my material. I using

a Wacky packages. So they said, wow, you know, if these do well, maybe we'll have you work on the set when the whole set comes out next year. So I kind of need support from the slices to start hitting that link. You know, I'd be nice if you bought them, but hit the link anyway. Check them out. See the one I did, a count Chocula spoof, a seven up spoof, a Samsung TV spool and um uh oh and um uh lean crazy. So yeah, don't give it all away. Well no, no, but and I and

I would like I also maybe stopped by tomorrow. Um, you have comic contasts for an autograph, Well, if you have comic con passes, you have to get the comic companies. I'd love autograph. I mean, after all, Neil did draw

those garbage pail kids in the eighties. That's correct, you want to get Fuck you, We got some sound that we have to play, and then we gotta wrap things up because we're out. I got one one thing, though, sauce.

I'm a plug in my Instagram real quick. I'll go for it every year when the Mets, uh and the Yankees make it to the postseason, especially when I worked on the Morning show, I would write a song for the Mets, of the Yankees and the Jets, any of the New York teams, and I would also write songs for some of our bigger affiliates. I wrote songs of the Eagles and the Phillies. In fact, um, Phillies gotta Feel into we Gotta Feeling played during the postseason for

the two thousand nine Phillies at the Stadium. And I've done songs for the Flyers and the Eagles. I think I did um all the Eagle ladies, all the Eagle ladies and if you have somebody put a ring on your finger for championships, and it was all the Eagle ladies, all the Eagle failers. Anyway, I've done songs to other cities, but Uh, I did a Mets song in two thousand and six when the Mets went to the playoffs, and with a local guy in New York from Queens named

Lucas product with it. T p R a t A who grew up a Mets fan and uh, it got a lot of a lot of a lot of success written up on all the papers. They played it at stadium and he did the street fairs with the Mets and they did He did events with the team. He was on all kinds of TV shows, local news stations performing the song. When the Mets went to the World Series, we did an update on it. I changed all the players names to the new team and they played it again.

It was a hit again. Well it's it's sixteen years later and I'm like that song sixteen years old. Mets fans who remember the song are asking me and Lucas, Hey, what's going on with the song? What are you doing with the song? Are you gonna update the song? Come on? So again, I got plenty of time on my hands, so I updated the song and it we released it

last night. So if you go to my Instagram again, the link is in the bio and one of the links will be you can hear our Mets song, which hopefully the sports stations will play and the Jersey Kid will play it when he comes back from vacation on Tuesday. But if you want to hear it, check it out on my instag and page that's it. You can go to go to commercials now but I got no, no, we're done. We're commercial free baby. So so we have some found yes, yes, okay, oh, I didn't want to

say his name. I labeled it wrong. Well, Dante Hall used to used to be a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, and he was in England for a pregame show because the NFL has games now occasionally on Sunday morning at nine thirty here because it's in the afternoon in England, they have football games Giants they're playing this weekend in London. So they had Dante Hall on because he because the European League. There used to be a European Football League and one of the teams was

in England. They don't have anymore, but there were like six or eight teams that played in Spain and Germany and it doesn't doesn't matter, and one of the teams was in England. So he's talking about in this clip how he grew up in Texas. He spent most of his time in Texas and he went to England and he had to make a decision. Well, every part of this clip, we're gonna play and we will play it twice he uses the wrong word. Okay, and the people

laugh along like he's making sense, but he isn't. Go ahead. I was a Texas boy. Had been in Texas ninety plus percentau of my life us so percentile. That's not the right word, the ninety had been in Texas ninety plus percent out of my life. Had Texas maybe two or three times totally. So you go over. Now you are living in a totally foreign country. Is there a partially foreign country? Okay, gone, keep going in the culture.

I was a Texas boy. I can't pause. Texas ninety plus percent out of my life, had never left Texas maybe two or three times total. So you go over. Now you are living in a totally foreign country. It's or you getting engage into the culture. Oh, engage into the culture. Nope, that's not the mistake. You didn't hear it. They all laughed when he said it. He said, you have a choice to make when you live in a foreign country. You can be a hobbit, or you can

engage in the culture. He meant hermit a hobbit from Lord of the Rings and they're laughing, like hobbit, yeah, yeah, yeah, Nope, Nope, that's not what he meant that you can't go to England and decided to be hot, Mega die, what do you got? Okay? All right? So I listened to a fantasy football show on satellite radio and there's one guy who's the host. He's like, he's the guy talking like this. The other guy comes in with a fact. He comes in with a fact. He corrects the first guy and

adds on to what he says. Right. Well, the second guy, who's kind of mumbly not only gets the name of the shock wrong. The first guy never heard of it, so he doesn't know he's right. He gives him credit for being right even though he's wrong, and then he tells him it's it's a movie starring an actor, and then he says the actor's name completely wrong. So this is to two guys who know nothing talking on the fantasy football So you are sharks. That's what I think.

You're a shark. That's what the shark does, megadon or whatever they call it. I didn't know. I don't know. I don't know what that is. That's a large prehistoric shark. Look at this, impressed buddy, right now? I said that in a decade. Look at that. I don't know what that even is, but well done. I'm just molly to Phil. Don't tell me if he's wrong because I can't handle right here. Hold on, Yeah, I don't even know if that is a thing or not. But I'm impressed that movie.

Oh they're lying because it's it's it's megalodon. It's a Megaladon. But he's like, I'm so impressed. I'm so impressed. The guy is wrong, and the other guy doesn't even know. He's like, this is terrific. You saw it Preistark And then he says, you have to clip the second clip. I'm impressed that movie. Oh dah work. He says, it's a movie starring Jason Statham. It's Jason Statham. So the guy is wrong across the board, and the other guy keeps going, this guy, I'm so impressed by you. You're

so brilliant. It shows you how dumb the first guy is that he's impressed by the second dumb guy. Now, if you're listening to this, you know what megla don is. That's fine, but you wouldn't go on the radio and called a mega don and have your call host tell you, you're brilliant. So and then say, Jason, we do that here on the Brooklyn Boys podcast. We do. I'm sorry, Oh, this is mind if I join you? Okay, this is a she Hulk last night, a fantastic episode of she Hulk.

I'm not gooda well, there's a guy in the episode. I'm gonna tell what the guy is. But the guy sends her over a drink and she responds improperly cute, VA join sure? He says, mind if I join you? And she says sure. That means she doesn't you VA join sure? Do you mind if I join you? She says sure. That means absolutely, I mind. If people did all the time, people at the time, that's it that that one is very common, I know. But it's if

you take yeah, but they're speaking like we speak. It's colloquial, right, it's cause it's it's basically it's Lehman's terms. It's easy because I'll see you why because mind if I join you? Right? If you pick apart the sentence, if you say the word your mind, that means I mind, don't join me? But we do it all the time. Everyone does it. That It's almost like an unspoken it's spoke repass. No,

it's a free pass. No, it's not because we know because when you say sure, that means you wouldn't if you if you really mind it, you wouldn't say it's so sexy like sure, But why where do they go? Do you mind if I join you and you say no, they're gonna They're gonna sit there, but you meant you don't mind. You want them to come out? Do you mind if I come over? No, it's like, oh, this woman come over, But you asked me if I am not anyway? Do I have another clip? There's another clip?

You're a hobbit. Hobbit? Oh man, all right, we gotta get out of here, Brody. We'll see you at at Comic Comic Con and next episode. I promised this, I promise episode one one. I will tell you what happened to my luggage the airport, and I will tell you why I got stopped and questioned by Homeland security. I can't believe this. You're a criminal, deport a criminals. We're all criminals, like the boy
