#232: Ticketbastard

s O n O S. Yeah. Drome is brilliant name for a company who discovered that, like so nos because it's like sonic, like like sonar s O n O S. And then no matter which way you flip them, you could you could go upside down with it. You could go left to right, right to let it looks the same. The word looks the same, right, phenomenal phenomena, phenomena. It's the words. It really is. Wait, if you turn it

upside down, is it look the same. So let me see, I have the app right here, Yep, upside down, yep, upside down yep. That's crazy. I have then sapp on my phone, so I just turned my phone over. That's awesome. Um, sorry I'm late signing on today. Yeah, I mean did the usual. Uh oh, my food's late. I'll talk to you in a half hour. Well, I've just been going through the worst of times with these the worst of

times with apps, I know, first word problems. Shut up, I'm not well, no, no, no, I'm like, you know, like the documentaries, these were the worst of times. They were the best of time. No. But someone out there saying, oh, yeah, you and your problems with the way with food first, first world problems. Well, well here's what happened. Right. So there's just this one of these new apps, Caviare, I think they're they're a division of door Dash, same crap,

same way, the grubhub and seamless to the same and whatever. Anyway, so the other day I ordered this is yesterday, I ordered food from Caviare and uh and I'm like, okay, uh, make sure you deliver it, you know, the right way. Here. I was in touch with the Dasher, you know, the dad they called the Dash, not to be confused with Ken Dash hell on Q four three in New York.

Who calls himself the dasher or or the reindeer? Right, So I guess the Reindeers more popular then ken okay, I would say so so so, So all of a sudden, the food gets delivered and they take a picture, you know, they take a picture of your package Amazon and whatever and all that he was taking a picture of my package. They take a picture of like Amazon takes a picture to show proof that they left it at your doorstep with with with Caviare they endoored dash. They take a

picture of where they left the food. And right away I opened the app. There it was the message from the dasher and a picture, and it was like it was not my door or any door that looks like any door in my building. And I'm like, don't they went to the wrong address. So I said, no, this is not me, this is not where I live. This is so what do you think I do? I immediately

complain and screenshot. I screenshot the wrong address and our and our little uh text message dialogue, and then I cut it off right before they said I cropped it on the screenshot right before they said, okay, I'll deliver it. I'll go back and pick it up and deliver it to you. And I and I said that to Caviare, I'm like, yo, what up, like what's up with this? And you're like, oh, we'll give you a full refund for your entire dinner and and then we're gonna give

me ten dollars in credit. Hold on, but wait, but wait, but then the dashes shows up in my house with the food. So I get to eat the food anyway, which was which was sushi, and so it wasn't like it was getting cold or anything like that. It was every day. Are they gonna take away your credit? You're gonna make sure you keep that credit? No they no, no, no, no,

I I kept the refund. Suck them. I didn't even tell no, no, I ate you free that night that because if they asked to ask the driver, the driver may go no. I I delivered it even though whatever it was, I got that refriended. So and then my eighth for free last night and a ten dollar credit incentivized me to go back into the app tonight to order more food from that place. And how did that go? And forty eight minutes later was starting. That's exactly what happened, Brody.

It was late, late late the restaurant, the restaurant didn't put the order in, so the dasher showed up at the restaurant and texted me and said, hey, we have a problem. You ordered this food twenty five minutes ago. I'm here to pick it up, and the restaurant didn't see your order, Like, how do you? How do you funk that up? Now it's on the restaurant, I mean, how do you? But I didn't complain. Well, you how to get the podcast started? But what's my argument there?

I mean my food was an hour and a half late, no doubt. Yeah, well you backed up your whole life. You tell me you fu damon Brodie over. I think that's gotta be worth something. I think I'd like some free food now. That was affect. I was affected by this, So tell him you want you want to get card or something, and you want also one for me. I can just picture the receipts being spit out all the orders, and my order gets spit out and it falls into a fucking garbage bail. As long as your food is

not being spit out, you don't want that to happen. No, but you know what I'm saying, Like, how does the restaurant miss an incoming order? I mean, I guess there's nobody there asleep at the wheel. You know, you know, I don't know, but you know what I were You're talking about, um, you know, staffing, maybe they're short staffed. So uh, my wife says to me, Hey, Sunday, why don't we go to this place in such and such town, this Italian restaurant, and we'll go there for dinner. Did

I tell you the story? Uh? I did? So I called, I called, and I called up to make a reservation for Sunday at five o'clock. And the woman who answers the phone says, um, yeah, so a table for two, Yeah, we can do a table for two. Um, but we don't have a waitress, so there's no one to serve you. So I said, um, wait a minute, there's no one to serve me. So do I serve myself? Do I go to the window and run my own food? What

are we talking about? And she just no, What what happens is you can, Um, you can take the food to go and then unpack it and sit at the table if you want. That's classless. And I and what do I tip myself? How do I get a drink? Well? You know, uh, you can you can access to the water tower and refill your water glasses if you want, I said, are you sure? She goes We have no staff coming in on Sunday, no waitress, I said, is

that on purpose? No? She she called out. So on a Sunday, an Italian restaurant has one server, and she called out, so I can take my to go food. I said, you know what, We're gonna go to a different place. No offense, Yeah, no offense, No imagine would you do that? Like, I feel bad for them, but if I want to pack it up, the option don't open for the day because the servant didn't show up. At least it can make some money. I mean, it's tough out there right now. They can't find people who

work these shifts. They can't. Absolutely. I was just surprised you didn't say, like, hey, it's to go only well shoes. On the other foot, you can pretty much demand what you want. You can get paid a higher, much higher rate, you know. I mean the power is in the hands of the worker at this point. If you ask me, no, not so much. The problem is there's so many people looking for some jobs right and there's so many better jobs that people don't want to do the jobs they

used to do. That's what I'm saying. But so the people that have those jobs, that still have them, they've got a lot of power if you ask me, and they could they could demand that. That waitress who called in on Sunday said, you know what, if you don't double my salary, I will come in next week either and then you've got nobody for next weekend, like like you can actually or maybe she has for a raise and they said, get the funk out. Could be we'd

rather go to go only. So hey, uh, I don't know what you do in this situation, but I was offered a free steak dinner. Sound familiar. Oh, well, then you're gonna wait twelve years. Well no, let me see you. No, I'm sorry, I mean I'm gonna correct you. Um, it's actually ten years. We are at the ten year anniversary, I believe of the steak dinner. Roughly yeah, roughly. Well, our friend Gandhi was invited by Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Oh I was there last week. Yeah. Oh I've got the room.

Thank you for reminding me. I've got a roots Chris story. You go first. Well, here we are, it was she They said to her, we are we want to hook you up with a free steak dinner and wine pairing. And she's like, oh, and you bring a couple of friends. So what what what night was this last night? So she Wednesday? There was a special wine pairing dinner on Wednesday. My wife and I went to Oh, oh did you really? Yeah, last Wednesday? Okay, wait, hold on, hold wait before you,

before you was it free? Okay? So this one was free? They invited. They said, Gandhi, bring two of your friends, and she chose our friend Cheryl Crowley and myself and me me, and then the three of us went yesterday because she's famous or she put her name in a hat. No, that's exactly it. What's the catch? She's a regular there with Cheryl and I sometimes join and then from going in every week. They said to her, Hey, look on this day on Wednesday, on Tuesday, feel free to come

in on this date at six o'clock. Um, we want to treat you to a steak dinner with a wine pairing and it's gonna be totally free, and you can bring two guests. So she naturally calls me up. I'm like right there, and I said all right, cool, let's go. So show up. We get there. All of a sudden, when you get into this room beside room, what's going on in here? Okay, this is gonna have some wine pairing. We're gonna have some steak. And I see a woman

there collecting information. She hands me a clipboard and she goes, I just filled this out. I'm like really, and we all have to register and sign in, okay, And on each and on each table there was a tripod with an iPhone and a microphone on each fucking table. So I'm like, what's going on here? And God's like, what's going on here? And they were like, yeah, well, welcome, welcome to our focus group on wine. You've got time shared, I got time shared free the bottle of to kill of.

You sit for an hour and they're like yeah. And then they closed the door and we're sitting down. Now. Now we're sitting there with wine and and and this clipboard in front of us and this microphone with this phone. And then I said to them, yes, so this is a six thirty. I said, so, well, what time was this run to? And they're like yeah, at nine o'clock

and gone. He's like, oh, hell no, I gotta get out of here, I can't so here she was thinking again, maybe because she's sweet and innocent and unsuspecting, when this is the same girl who said she got a free TV at the card dealership. All she didna do was go pick it up. The poor, the poor thing, but well, the poor all of us, because now I'm roped in and she's texting me and Cheryl at the tables like I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I roped you into this. I had no idea. Of course you had no idea.

We wouldn't have shown up, I don't think, but you gonna ask questions and just like, oh, come for a free dinner. It gets worse. It wasn't even a full dinner. It was It was literally a buffet where they just took the bunch of fileton, chopped it up and put it under a French fry lamp and then a CHICOUONERI board next to it and said go help yourself, and I'm like what what, Oh my god, the booze bastard inside of you must have been dying. Well, um, steak

under a heat lamp. Here's the worst part. Well, fifteen minutes before that, I had a chance to go out with my other friends to go to dinner. And I was like, laying in bed. I'm like, I don't even know if I want to go. And then Gan he's like, just come, just come. I said, all right, I'm just gonna put on some pants and walk up the block because that's all it required. And I'm like, all right, oh, steak,

you know steak. And I'm sitting there thinking like, okay, this is gonna be great, until it was it was okay, listen. I will say at the end of the day that it was very interesting to get into a conversation, an intellectual conversation about wine. But they obviously wanted to steer us in the direction of this cific brand. And what was the brand? Staggs Leap. Never heard of it, Oh,

it's very famous brand. Well, first of all, stags Leap is from the stags Leap region of Napa Valley, California, and there's several different stags Leaps brand, but this was a stag Leap stags Leap wine seller. By the way, have you have you done Nappa with Robin? No? Okay, because we're sitting I'm gonna tell you about the dinner. But we were sitting at the wine dinner last Wednesday, and my wife says, you know, we really should plan a trip to Napa. Yeah, oh okay, so I got

him now. She said, I wish someone would play just it's actually what you said was gosh, it's so much effort, but I wish someone would plan a trip to Napa for me. And I'm thinking, who else is going to do that? Of course it's me, like, of course, you know, so that's that's apparently now on my list. Well, so I'll say this, um, the you know Robin and I well, well, actually no, sorry, Gandhi and I and Cheryl. We were

sitting there. We we talked about this wine. We you know, we gave out raining how he felt about no, no, no, no. They had a moderator at each table. There was a bi orator asking us questions, showing us different label versions of what they want to do with the brand going forward. Wow, my wife would have loved it. It It was called the wine is called Artemist. It's their top selling Stag's Leap wine.

H And at the end of the night, to be all kidding aside, it was educational and it was fun and I felt like my input meant something and I do drink Stag's leap Artemis, So it was kind of hurt you drink a glass of wine ever, absolutely and uh and that you're a hard liquor guy, and so I know, but I sometimes I like wine to start my night right or at least with an Italian meal. What I mean when you when you're pre gaming with the girls before you go out. Yeah, with my Brie

and my crackers. Is that her name Brian Crackers And that's the new podcast. That's a new podcast on Barstool Easy to spin off, Brian Crackers. Crackers. Well, I'll say all I'm gonna say is I'm trademarking that right now for by the time you guys hear this, it's trademarked done too late hashtag Brien Crackers. Uh. So I'll say this, Um, we were tricked. Um. I don't use it on fall for stuff like this. But Gandhi was in control, and all I did was say yes, yes, I'll show up.

But she felt stupid because she's like, oh my god, I can't believe this. I got tricked again. But but people and slices, you should know this. It's like, if it's too good to be true, it probably is right, Like, I mean, you were advertised free dinner. We thought we were getting like this six course amazing meal with a wine pairing at each course, and we get to talk

to the monk, talking amongst ourselves. Instead we got a three hour conversation with microphones in our face and questionnaires and people scribbling things up on a piece of paper while we're having a conversation over French fry lamp file at Mignon and charcuterie. Yeah, so that's what I got. So we got whatever. It was still free, and if it's for free, it's for me. Let me ask you a question while we're still on this topic real quick. I know you wanna, you wanna. We gotta take a break.

But let's say hypothetically you asked to go to the free dinner, right, they called you and they said, scary, we'd like you to come and bring two friends. Let's say hypothetically the seventeen people you asked before me weren't available, Okay, and then as number eighteen, I'm going right, So you and I go and we have this meal. Would you then once again claim that you gave me my free steak dinner? Literally, Yes, fuck you hit the button with B and Scary'll tell you about my steak dinner, my

wine dinner. So every I don't know. Every few months Ruth's Chris, and they explained it again. Why it's Ruth's Chris uh and Chris Steak and it was Christ Ruth. Ruth bought it and it burned down. But when she wanted to reopen it in another part of New Orleans or New Orleans, New Orleans, Uh, she wasn't legally able to call it Chris's Steakhouse. So since she owned it, she called it Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and our master. Okay,

So they do these wine tasting dinners, legitimate ones. Whereto, Yeah, not that, not that, which is better pepsi or coke? Thing you did? And what they do is they give you like a five course meal, like a small plates, and they match up a wine by whatever wine company is sponsoring the dinner. We've done prisoner wine this particular week was Camus c A y m U. I'm very familiar with Camus. It came up in our conversation and

our focus group. Yes, in fact, the Camus vineyards make a lot of wines that a lot of people listening may have had, so look them up there. They're also very high end. Yeah, well they're they're also medium end. They have medium and high end. Okay, So I decided I'm not I'm not the drinker. So I ordered off the regular menu and my wife had the five course meal and with the five glasses of wine, with the half glasses of wine, we had a wait, a wonderful night.

At the end of the night. When we first walked in, I should say, there's a poster on the wall and it's, um, I don't know, crooked walker or something. It's something walking fool, walking fool. That's it. That's the sequel to your walking to walk right right walking fools. So there's a poster on the wall of a guy with like, um, a wooden bar across his back holding too like jugs of wine on each end, you know, like that, Okay, And it's and I noticed the post is on the wall

because it's crooked. And I'm a big like I bothers to me when the ship's crooked, so I'm I'm looking at it. It's in the it's in the front of the room, where again it's the private room. Like you were in and the general manager is there in his tents, like, I don't know about thirty people, six tables of people who are signed up for this special private thing. It wasn't it was. It was. It was pricy, but not like extraordinary, but it was okay. So I had my meal,

she had hard meal. And at the end of the night, so I'm sorry. Beginning of the night, there's these cards on the table. They're like, they're like a guest list, like a mailing list thing. So my wife fills it out for me and fills it out for her. She's like, oh, whatever this is, we'll both get emails. So this way, if there's something special, will both see the email. Look, okay, that's fine. And the girl comes around she collects all the cards. I don't think anything of it. End of

the night, oh, I should say. The general manager is giving a speech and he plays a video about the Kamis vineyards. Before he plays it, he's like, let me tell you what you're in for tonight. And every time he starts talking or the video starts playing, the large table to our right, that's when they have to talk. He's like, okay. So the first course giants and the Jets and the football, and they're just like as if

he's not there. It's a small private room at a quiet steakhouse, and I have to like strain to hear over him, and every time he talks, it's like he hit a button and they have to talk. Okay, So end of the night, he says, all right, well, let's do our raffle, and then um, after the raffle, we're gonna we're gonna auction and off, I'm sorry, we're gonna sell off whatever bottles we didn't use tonight. We have a few bottles of each of the Kames brand that

we drank tonight, that you know. And so my wife says, well, you know, i'd really like the uh the crooked What did I say? Was the crooked fool, the walking fool? Out of the fool, the walking fool. The poster was crooked, that's right. So she's you know, i'd really like a bottle of the walking full. So uh like all right, well, she was, it's probably expensive though, so maybe we shouldn't

get it. I'm like, well, you know, the dinner was pricey, but if you like it that much, let's see what they if they're charging us, like, you know, retail price or whole. So let's see what the price is. So he says, I, before we get to the wine, we're gonna do a raffle for a bottle of wine. So they call out a name and some guy wins the bottle of wine. They go all right, now we're gonna do the raffle for the poster on the wall of the Walking Fool. Then the winner of the poster of

the Walking Fool, David Brody, what of course? What why would I Why? I don't win, like I gotta win things. That's crazy, but all to win. You win the Walking Fool post. I win the poster, which like I'm like, oh, it's a nice poster. It was a lithograph actually, which is a fancy way of saying poster. So I'm like, when I canna do it? So they put it in a tube and they roll it up and they bring it over to the table. Mr Brodie, congratulations. And my wife's like, oh, it's a it's a nice post. I said,

would you put it up in the kitchen? She's like, yeah, maybe we'll throw a frame on it. We'll put up for a couple of months whatever. Maybe it's nice. I don't know. It's okay, I won, I won the poster. Whoop you do? So the guy says, A right, we're gonna be taking bins on the wine in a minute. I'll tell you what the prices are. I've got two bottles of the Walking Fool left over. I'm gonna come around and mid ask if anybody wants those bottles. Okay, So I said, well, how much is the Walking Fool?

So he says it's forty a bottle, so little pricing. We just spent a lot of money on dinner. My wife says, you know what, forget it. Just we don't need to spend that kind of money. I said, well, let me think about it. So like two minutes later, the general manager comes over. He says, listen, we're about to start selling off the wine. I know you might

be interested in the bottle um. But before we get into that, the gentleman over there at the front table in the brown sport jacket, I really would like to buy the poster from you that you just want, and he's offering fifty dollars. Would you be interested in selling it to him? I said, give it to him. Here it is, I said, here it is. I would I would have pulled up, pulled out my phone first to see if this thing was worth any money. No, it's a it's a poster. He wanted the poster anyway. So

I said, here's what you do. Take the fifty from him, take fortrself, bring me the bottle of wine, and I'll take the ten. He goes, all right, you got it, And so he goes, all right, we have one bottle of the one. He goes over to the guy. The guy takes the poster handsome fifty dollars. The guy takes ten dollars of it, grabs the bottle of wine, walks over to the table, gives me the ten bucks. I hand the bottle of wine to my wife. Go here you go, enjoy your expensive bottle of wine. I mean

relatively expensive. So I like how you wheel and deal at the table like that. Yeah, I was, I said to I said to my wife, I said, should I take the fifty? Maybe just take more? He was, just take the fifty, take to fifty. Run. So the guy pulled the poster from me. So I I don't know if I should say I won the poster, I won fifty bucks or I won the bottle of one. It was pretty cool. A winner. You came out of winner, you came out of winter. Yes, yeah, here I was.

I'm going I want a poster and that guy apparently was salivating like he didn't even try to lowball me. He could have said, like all of the guy dollars and I would have gone back and I went, I'll take it. He started at fifty. Yeah, I'm taking the fifty. Can I just wish my parents a happy fiftieth anniversary? Sure, I mean sure, an accomplishment. I mean to be together all those years. That's crazy. They had they had you and then they got married like what five years later.

You know, it's it's insane. So my brother and my sister and I we uh we threw a surprise fiftieth anniversary party for them at a restaurant Hoboken, This place Augustinos. At that age, you didn't jump out and yellow a surprise, did you. No? No, no, They thought they were going to dinner with me and Robbin and h The two of the two of us escorted them into the restaurant where they're all of well, a lot of their friends were hanging out in their screaming surprise. We took we

we took over the whole place. This was on Sunday, and I can't believe we pulled it off. But thank god for Facebook because I had to go sneaking around my parents back because usually if I'm planning a surprise to my father, my mom's involved in vice versa or vice versa. Well this case, they were both. I had we were all out in the dark because it was the surprise was for the both of them. So so I had to go do some research on my mom's Facebook and then start messaging them d m ng her,

you know, the friends, the ones that I recognized. It turns out we got everybody and then the just the right amount of people fell off where they where they couldn't make it, and we we filled up the entire restaurant just right. But we got the credit for inviting everybody, So that's the best part. So and yeah, and it was just it was a really nice time. You know. Again, there's there's no real real point here other than happy anniversary,

Mom and Dad. I love you. That's all from your son. Anthony, Who's Anthony? Now, did June, did you make it look like you threw the party and not your siblings. No, no, we shared it equal credit. But you know, the thing about my parents is every time we try and get them present, whatever holiday it is, it always goes back to the store the next day. It's always I don't want to take it back and keep your money. So

so we know how finicky they are. And my brother and my sister we were all like we were three of us were scheming. I'm like, you know what, let's give them an experience and this is something they can't take back. And in the end they loved it and they allowed us. You know, we we paid the bill, We took care the whole thing, and we got him a cake, flowers balloons, you know, the mile R fifth

gold five zero balloon. So my we were walking out of the restaurant and these three girls come walking down the street at in our direction like, oh, happy fifty birthday. My mother, Oh she must have loved that. She did, happy, thank you. Well, what if they said that to you, you'd be pissed. Well, yeah, I think God, I wasn't helping the balloon. You wouldn't. You never would have held those balloon people like someone's gonna take a picture. I

think I'm fifty. No, that's great. Fifty years. Can you imagine? That's a lot. I mean, people don't stay with you. You can't do one. You're terrible. You're terrible. Yeah, I know, but I'm I I can't you know what I'm trying to think now because I know how long I've been married. Wow, I got married. I guess later than your parents did because when I wow, well they were years. They were twenty five when they had me, So I was so they were married, Wow, twenty three. You'll imagine think about

what your lunch was like that. No, they were married at twenty five because they're now seventy five, so that would me so that Yeah, so I was doing twenty seven when they had me. Oh okay, okay, all right, Las, I don't judge age. I'm just saying, like, for me, I think about when I when I was twenty five, I was in I was in no position to get married. I was living at home. I was one of my parents at five, So were you really weren't my parents? You're living with your parents? Moved out like I moved

out of twenty five. Yeah, right now people are going what yeah, so a lot of people move out of eighteen nineteen years old. They move out, Yeah, but they get kicked out at sixteen for being different. But you you know a lot of the stereotype about you know, people that live in Brooklyn and their their basement Italian basement. Is like you it's state till your forty. I mean, well, yeah, you know my cousin Carbine, I mean, he never moved

out of his parents house. Now he's living there by himself, but he never moved out of his bedroom, his childhood bedroom. He's still there. Crazy right, Yeah, Well, my daughter is looking for an apartment, my oldest daughter who moved back from Europe. She's looking. She's looking to move out and to get her own apartment. She's like, she's like, well, you didn't pay rent when you were my age. Yeah, because I lived at home. My parents didn't pay my rent that they were I was, you know, I was

living under their rent. But it wasn't like they paid for a second apartment. What could she afford at this point? Could she afford to be on her own, like I mean, or she she's she's got a few a couple of roommates in mind that she found a place she likes in Brooklyn, not in our part of Brooklyn, to say, the hipster Brooklyn. Yeah, more like that. That's more heart auntsy.

Uh yeah yeah. So she's she's found a place and she's looking at But she made a comment like, you know a lot of my friends and parents paid for I was like, listen, when I was your age, I didn't have to pay rent. I lived at home. She's like, I'm not doing that, so I just living here, living here now. But she's like I'm done, like I found a place finally. So alright, Well, we gotta take a break real quick here. How about that? Fine, I'll tell you about the uh the ugly ship on some guy's head.

How about that? Oh it's the podcast. Man, what a headline that was? What a tea. Well, I want to tell you I went to a couple of concerts this past weekend. I went to one on Friday, no one on Saturday, and one on Monday, and then one on Saturday. I went to You're getting around there, David Brodie. Well, I got a lot of free time these days, so I went to imagine going to me going out to a concert on a Monday. I haven't been able to

do that on Monday. On a Monday twenty four years so I went to a concert venue that has a kitchen and I had a table in the back. It was one of those like a you know, the tables and the general mission and on the floor, and I want to get some eats. So I got to The concert started at seven thirty. So I got to the venue. Uh in te Neck, New Jersey. If you know where Tea Neck is, it's more than New Jersey off your lovely Root four which runs east west and Tea Neck.

Everything was closed when I got there. The whole town was shut down. But I was starving and I didn't want to go and get like, you know, burghers and fries in the concert venue. So I see there's a pizza place on the corner, so I will over to the pizza place. And there's a guy behind the counter and as a woman walking around the floor. And it's at this point it's like seven fifteen, so it's it's it's it's not really well lit, but it's not dark, so it's like in between. So I'm like, maybe it's

happy hour. They dimmed the lights so I would open the door. The doors locked, so I said I'm dying for a slice of pizza. I go, excuse me, are you closed? And he is eight o'clock. I said, you close at eight because it's seven fifteen. Now we open at eight o'clock. What scary? They opened at eight o'clock on a Saturday. They closed in the afternoon, and they opened for a late dinner. And I guess the bar crowd, I don't know, at eight o'clock that clocked up them. Well,

maybe they wait for the sundown. Us shot is pizza place. It was definitely not a kosher I wonder, and it was just was it just like that day that they did that at eight o'clock? Was specially there was there was no sign on the door that told the it was very weird. Okay, So I went in. I ended up. I had to order food because I didn't making any money. I don't know. I don't know. Although there is this place in Jersey City called Bread and Salt and m

Dave port on a new podcast, Bread and Salt. Dave Portnoy, the barstool guy that does the pizza reviews um he was just there too, and he commented to the same thing. They're hours are like like Monday through Saturday, literally like noon to four. That's it. So you pizza. If it's like that, that's a big fuck you to the public. I mean this place, bread and Salt, I mean, could you imagine that? Just just guess whatever they have, you have to go when they go. But podcastle to call

your own shots and then go home. Be nice, go home for dinner. I don't need your money. Twelve to four, that's all you get. You want it, you know when we're open. If you have a job, you can't eat there. If Bread and Salt was our podcast, you'd be bread. Oh absolutely, because you're a salty motherfuck salty motherfucker and you like carbs. I love it. I'm dude, I'm car b b dude. I put the carbon carbone. That's right, you put the you don't put the bone in. I hope. Okay.

So I go to order and she says, oh, the burger. Car I ordered the burger, which, by the way, I made the mistake of even even bothering and wasting my speech and saying medium rare because it's like a tiny concert like club. They're not gonna the chef back. There is not you know, not whearing the chef had it's either raw or burned. Yeah, so I was from medium rare. It came out like a hockey puck. But right, So

I said, there the fries steak fries. She said, Now, remember remember the guy a couple of weeks ago in Ireland he ordered the jamison neat with ice. Yes, So I say, are the steak fries? Are the fries steak fries? Because I like steak fries, and she says, yeah, they're they're really thin ones. So they're they're they're the unsteaked fries because because the steak fries, well, you know, some people who are listening, in all fairness may not know

what steak fries are. Waitress, she's a waitress. So I said, stake fries with by the way, the big fat ones that have a lot of a lot of mush inside of the potato. Yeah, they're usually like six inches five inches long and about a half inch to an inch wide. So I, yeah, so I I wish, So I said, so I said, oh, are they more like shoe string potatoes? She goes, no, they're straight. They could very well bet

shoes string if there's yes. But she's thought, there, I mean curly fries, like she just doesn't understand the vernacular of the potato. So I got believe me, it tasted as much. It was just cut the waffle fries. No, I just wanted to know because because because they had an option of sweet potato fries. And by the way, I don't know why sweet potato fries always more of

but up charge. I mean I do, but they're they're always like I would pay like fifty cents more, but when it's two dollars more for sweet potatoes, fuck you right, Yeah, well it's it's gourmet. You're not at that point. Maybe it's not. It's a different potato. It's not even a sweet potato fries. Andre not potatoes. That's what they call him, sweet potato. It's it's it's a root vegetable. Yeah, it's um. It's it's not even a it's a it's a yam. It's a it's a it's the sweet potato is not

really considered a potato. It is called it, but the consistency is more like a root vegetable or a lagoon or I could be wrong, but google that. Google it. I'm not no, no, I'm it's it's um. It's a boomer. It's a it's a tumor. What is it called auber tuber? That's it, thank you, it is it's not a tuba, yeah, not a tuba. It's a tuber. Yeah, it's a tuber. But technically sweet potatoes or yams. So maybe maybe tubers are more expensive than potato. I don't know, but two

dollars for like a handful of whatever. So let me tell you about the concert. So I so I went to that concert and that was fine. So I went to see a couple of um four guys. We three guys who used to be the lead singers of bands that were very big in the late eighties. So like hair metal bands, okay, and there was a band uh that that was like um, like fourth tier. Like they weren't like Motley Crue. They weren't poison, they weren't kiss and they weren't they were like, they weren't rat, they

weren't twisted sister. They were like the band that opened for the band that was the band you went to see, right, But a couple of heads. Right. But so back in the day, if you went to concerts in the eighties and nineties, looks like steel Heart like a band like that, like a one. Yeah, this band was a little bigger than Steel Hard. They were called Danger Danger, and the

lead singer was there. Now, back in the day, when you go to concerts from those bands, they would have pyro, right, explosions and fire and flames and like like crazy shit. Right in the eighties, that was crazy ship and when you went to a concert, right, So I'm in this little club and the four of them are doing acoustic sets and the headline, who was Tony Harnell, who was one of my all time favorite singers from a band called T ANDT. He's like a six eight octive voice.

Amazing anyway, So today's pyro for a guy in his sixties who's still singing and doesn't have his band with him at the moment. He says, all right, we're gonna we're gonna go crazy here right now, and he opens up a plastic bag and it's full of just empty balloons, like just balloons, not blown up with his name on them, Ted Polly, and he throws a handful of balloons into the crowd, unblown up, and says, all right, you're crazy bastards. Blow those up and we'll throw him around. Wait, what

that is? What eighties Pyro has turned into is a guy with a bag of balloons who throws a fistful of them onto the floor in general admission and people pick them up and blow them up and then bounce them around like beach balls. Oh, how the mighty have fallen? Oh, how the mighty have fallen. So the club is really small and this maybe I don't know, a hundred and fifty people at the show. It's a small intimate club and it's acoustic. It's supposed to be a small intimate thing,

and you you pay for it. It was a decent amount of money. It was a nice show, and so if you get up front you can be The stage is like scary. The stage is like two and a half feet high, two ft You can literally step up onto the stage. Of course, so the singer is really three ft from you. Yes, guys that used to have to go see at Masson Square Garden now like you

know right there. Okay, So these two guys with at the show who were not my age, they were probably like late twenties, right, maybe their parents listen to the music. Whatever the reason, they were there, and they had jackets on like denim jackets with patches from the eighties, and they looked like they were at a Halloween contest to dress like you were from the eighties. Meanwhile, all of us who lived back then, none of us were dressed

like that. We're all dressed like adults going to a concert. So they were drunk. They had long hair that they looked like the drunk guys from now. Again, the singer is four ft away from you. So every time they would speak and say something like, all right, we're gonna take it back to our second nought this calling out song title. So this it's a quiet club, right because it's quiet so that the singers are like him him. You know, well we'll get to that, of course. It's

one of our heads. We'll get to it a couple of songs later, right. I So, uh, joining me on drums is Tony Tony come out here the play a little give me a little treaty, don't it? I know it?

Oh yeah? And the two of them are high five in each other, and they're like and and and there's nobody in the club like to tell them to shut up, but I'm not gonna tell them because they're huge guys and every band that came out they were big fans of, and they kept yelling, and it got to the point where the thing is like, yeah, man, we're gonna get it. We're gon We're not right, We're not gonna blown right, Like, these bands had two hits, and if you're a rock

fan then you know the other songs. But radio play they had two hits, right, T and T had like eleven hits. But in fact, by the way, when you go to any concert and you go to the and you see an opener open for the headline act, just know that the opener will always do their biggest song last, because that's the chance to be most seen and the most people will be in their seats. Right. Also, if you do if you do the hit first and it goes again to soda or nobody cares, right, they're just

waiting on that one song. I get it. Yeah, right, And so these guys are yelling at don't understand that content. I don't think they cared that. They just wanted the song they wanted. And it's like saying, hey, everything else you ever did is ship. Ship is ship. It's like when you go to see a comic and you yell out a biddy did and you're you know you're telling Jerry liked the head dryer bit. Side fell due to head dryer bit. He's like, man, I haven't done that

in like thirty years. You already know it, Like, why would I do it again? You know it? So that was that night and I felt so bad. I went up to one of the singers afterwards because you walk up and said high to them, and I was like, I don't know how you do it? Like I goes, You get used to it after a while, you do, he goes, but he goes, Yeah, fucking annoying man. So the second concert was Friday night in uh in Red Bank, New Jersey. I want to see my favorite guitar player,

Joe Satriani. Um and uh, if you don't know Joe Satriani is, you might who cold Play is. And uh, cold Play was involved in a law suit with Joe Satriani because, um, the song Viva LaVita where goes bamp bam bam bam bamp and there's this partner song it's not for there's bampa. Did they steal that off of Joe Satriani. I'm not gonna say they did, but the court said it. So there's a song called I think it's um Ready to Fly. I think his name is song something Can Fly in the Time Life Forever. Yeah,

and it's it's that's the part of the song. So he sued them and they denied it, and the judge, from what I understand, said, dude, you can't possibly have come up with that much of a song exactly the same notes, time, phrasing everything. It was like, it's like twenty seconds. It's not like he's like, I don't even know who this guy is, which isn't believable. If you play guitar, you know who he has. He's one of the greatest ever. So go to the show. It's great,

and there's an intermission. It's a three hour show. Almost intermission. I get online for the men's room and I'm standing behind a guy and look, there's nothing wrong with this. I'm just saying it happens sometimes. And a bald guy and he's got i want to say, a massive mole growth on the back of his head and he's bald, and it's got like bubbling around it, right, and so I'm like, I know, I'm not gonna stare at it.

Poor guy, I feel bad for the guy, and I'm not gonna stom, not gonna stare was gonna boil on his head? I don't know what it was. And and I God bless him. He goes out in public, he's confident. I respect that respect anyway, Uh, you really can't look anywhere else because you're online for the bathroom. You're staring right at the back of this guy's head, right if I look down and looking at his ass? All right,

So I'm like, okay, whatever. I go to the bathroom, and uh, there's a urinal etiquette problem when I go in and the guy who's peeing. Now there's a line waiting for the urinals. Now, when you go to a sporting event, real urinal guys know that you don't wait like twenty ft away at the door. You just go up behind one of the five guys and when he's ready, boom you there. If you wait, then you have to wait while everyone walks one at a time to the open spot. I understand that. So I'm ready. I'm like

standing behind who's next? And I go right there and the line moves, and I'm encouraging people to do that, and its lines moving. The guy in front of me. He's one of these belt buckle, unbuckled, the belt, unbuckled, the zipp with the pants the button to take his dick out. Yeah, we don't need that. We don't need that. In a hurry, dude, it's unzipped, sucking pulling out, unzipped, wait for to shake the drip and get out. So

this guy he peas Now he's got a flush. Okay, now he's standing there and he's justin his belt buckle. He's pulling his zipp er off, he's button his pe Listen, when you pee, the wuck out of the way. Get the funk out of the way, ladies, you don't have to deal with this. I wonder if there's anyone who stands at the urinal urinal and unbuckles their pants and pulls their pants down to their ankles and pisces into the Oh. I've seen that. I've absolutely seen that. I've

seen it. I love that. I saw a guy do it at work where we were at the radio state where you where you you literally push your pants down to your ankles and then yeah, because because the belt, what happens is if you're Some people use the fly. I sometimes use the fly. Sometimes I do the unbuttoned, I do the flap. If no, I need First of all, I got to make sure that my boxers have a little flap of its own right there. Oh yeah, yeah, because I gotta be some people I don't need to

have a slit. I don't. I can't stand to go over the underwear, but some people do. No. I go through the opening, because that's how God created the opening. Okay, So what happens is if you unbuckle and unpopped to pop in the zip to what happens is the belt drops the pants right down, drops it down. So this guy not only is buckling, now he has to adjust his phone in his pocket and his money. He's looking for his money first because he wants to go buy his shirt. Get the funk out of the way. That's

my that's my my urinal etiquette. Now I go to wash my hands. Okay, the sinks are directly behind the urinals. There's only if you're at the sink, maybe ten inches between your ass and the guy's ass on the urinal if if you want to get to the stalls, which

are further down in the bathroom. So this poorly design, So this fat guy comes through with a flannel shirt on, and he goes, uhuse and he pushes both of us at the same time, so my dick hits the sink the other guys the other guy goes gets his his his ass like his dick into the urinal like if if you can't fit your fat ass in the opening wait or say excuse me afterwards? Scary he said excuse me after he bumped, like excuse me. That's not how

excuse me works either. You say excuse me, I gently moved my pelvis in, and the urinal guy will gently move his pelvis in. You don't meet your way through the buns. That's not how it works. Oh my god. Sorry, Okay, one last thing after the show. I gotta go to the bathroom again, of course, right. I go to the bathroom and I'm getting again online and the guy in front of me, tall guy. Right. A woman comes up on the side of the line and says, hey, what

didn't you say your name was again? And he says his name and she goes, oh that your parents couldn't come up with a better name. That's a pretty bad name. Awful, But anyway, she's flirting with him. She says, you know what, we should talk more. It was a pleasure meeting you tonight. Give me your Facebook again. There was an older crowd, so they so he steps off the line. Now I'm behind a guy with a growth on his head that looks just like the last guy in the same spot.

So I go, how am I standing behind this guy again with the gross pussy growth bubbly thing. Guess what scary that wasn't the same guy? One second? Another one? Let's see it looked like a caterpillar. What kind of what kind of conscience was this that these are? These are the types of people, the dregs of humanity hanging out. Whoa, there is nothing wrong with the people who happen to

have a growth on the back of their head. People know I'm talking about these bubble you know, the bumble stumble guy, that guy shoot people out of the way. I mean, rudeness, rude. Obviously we would find this at a Backstreet Boys concert. No, but I got one lass scamboni when we come back the next break. You have a scamboni. I have a scamboni, and I have a constant scamboni that you are going to love. Oh my god, I'm still thinking about the boil on this guy's head.

I don't know what it was. I couldn't tell. It was like three inches long vertically. I know we have we don't even have a scamboni or was was that? That was a dinner but but that wasn't really a scamboni. It was just um, you know, they failed to leave out the truth. They failed to include the truth and why they wanted us there. But that was blatant misrepresentation slash scamboni. Yeah, I do have a scamboni. But do you want to play some voicemails that you Yeah, yeah,

well I think we should go through those. But but first I have a confession to make. Oh this is your confession. This is my confession, and I will get to the concerts. And what would you have done? Bernie David Burn gone for the free yesterday morning? And I, by the way, I didn't share this with anybody, but

I'll share it with you in the slices. Four thirty in the morning yesterday five in the morning, I was leaving that apartment, walking down the hallway and I see a McDonald's bag sealed with a door dash attached to it, sitting outside my neighbor's apartment. Now I know my neighbor, this guy. I know, this guy is a health nut as as much as big as a health nut as they come. No shot, this guy eats McDonald's. I know

that for a fact. So I'm like, but let alone, why would it be sitting there at five thirty in the more at five thirties, I'm leaving for work, Like, yeah, this doesn't make any sense. I'm like, I bet you, this is another case of somebody dropping it at the wrong apartment, except my neighbors not home or he's sleeping, and they just dropped it there. And the whoever this belongs to decided that they probably got their money back and they've forgotten it because it was just sitting here.

So I'm like, I suck it, and I go to work. Now it's ten thirty. I'm coming home, and I go back and I come out of the elevator and I'm walking down the hallway and the bag is still there, and I'm like, see, look at this. And and now I'm like, I'm hungry, Okay, I haven't I don't have any food in my house. So I'm like, once again, this I gan fucking t you this this, this bag does not belong to my neighbor. I know my neighbor.

I know the guy that lives behind that door. He would never eat McDonald's, right, So I said, fuck it. So I took the bag into my apartment. I ripped it open, day old. It wasn't day old, so that's old. I looked. I looked at the receipt and it was from three am. I thought, you're gonna say three or four days ago. It was a drunken like order. I guess a person never got their food. Whatever it was.

It was at quarter four in the morning when when they processed the order, so it only been sitting when when I when I walked down in my apartment, it was smelling good. It was still warm, I guess. But I know for a fact that it didn't. And I didn't have his apartment on it had nothing on it. What if he was hang in some meat eater. No, no, no, my first all again, this guy does not eat McDonald's. I will reiterate it. It was definitely it was delivered

to the wrong address period. Alright. Alright, so I said, I said, I brought it into my apartment. I opened it up. I'm like a dr pepper where the where it had gone flat, threw it away, French fries cold, fuck these out, goodbye. But then at the bottom of the bag two glorious biked apple pies. Oh no longer those last. I mean, you gotta be you gotta be Kennedy. You think I want to throw those away? Fuck? No, So,

David Brownie, what did I do? I chowed down on one of the apple pies and the other one still in my refrigerator. Wow, I came off. I came away with stolen door dash of my own. Wow. I feel like I could leave a note in your elevator that says, if you're missing her McDonald's, go to Scary his apartment. But I just knew I was process of the Okay, what if it was a filet of fish sitting out there? Would you have eat it? No? Oh? There was also

two double cheeseburgers in there. I threw them in the microwave, pickles on it. Yeah, but I I actually I actually put them in the microwave. Yeah. I did eat cheeseburgers as well. Yeah that was by trew away the fries in then soda. But but my then I looked at myself. I'm like, what kind of de genuine are you? Scary Jones? You want to scale at the time? Two apple pies

and two double cheeseburgers. Yeah, you have five dirty in the morning, So all right, you only so So now I'm like, okay, So I ate an order that was probably about six or seven seven hours old by the time I got to it. That wasn't too bad, right, No, I think it's safe to eat. I just uh wow. So if if it was anyone on your floor, they would have come out and looked around, yeah, and looked.

Keep in mind, in the morning it was already five thirty and just sitting in front of the door, and and then then we then I went to work, and then it was ten thirty in the morning when I came back when the bad were still there. Who who delivered the food? Do dash? And what did you do with your dash? From the door? The door? They really should just call themselves wrong door dash? But yeah, but you know what, that that's the second time they fucked up.

They fucked whoever the poor person never got there McDonald's again, probably the other building the other been around. It was probably the other building where that belonged, and then they just abandoned they forgot the food. What if some fat guy ordered that food at two o'clock in the morning and then when the food didn't show up, he looked at it as a sign from God to eat healthier, and now he's on the road to losing like a hundred pounds. You think about that, you could have changed

a life. Scar Yeah, you're you're you're ruining yours. But I will say a couple of years ago, me and my buddy Danny, we were so my boy Danny, Danny uh oh, Danny connection, Danny connections. We were down at the Jersey shore and we were fucking hammered, and we ordered we ordered delivery like Uber eats or whatever, and we passed the funk out. We forgot we ordered it. We woke up at nine o'clock in the morning, we opened the door and it was sitting there. We're like,

holy sh it, we fucking fell asleep. So we had something. Dick didn't come by and just eat it at five o'clock in the morning. No, we actually reclaimed our own food. But that's yeah, all right, I'll give you that. I'll give you that. Because he hard to pass up an apple pie really is McDonald's and the two of them to score. Yeah, score. All right, you got to scam moneying already for me? Uh huh oh yeah. Okay, So what I'm gonna tell you isn't actually stealing, So let

me preface it. Okay, Ticketmaster charging a fifteen I was to buy the ticket, that's stealing. What about stealing? Taking someone's door dash that is stealing? Not when it went to the wrong door and they didn't know. So this concert I wanted to go to on Monday night, the I forgot about it. I put it on my phone and and like you know, like you have the reminder tells you to buy the tickets for the concert. Buy

the tickets for the concert. So for like a month and a half it's been telling me to buy the tickets for the concert. But because I had tickets to a concert on Saturday, I forgot to buy tickets for the concert on Monday. Well, luckily it wasn't sold out. Okay. It was in a theater, the Red Bank count Basie Theater that seats about four thousand. I guess maybe out of the Bank, New Jersey. Very nice. Also, nothing open after the show I did open now on Google Maps,

what's open? Basically nothing? Just the app wa wa was open, and that's where I went. So because I was starving, I wanted something to eat. So when I was buying my tickets, when you buy them the night before the concert, pretty much whatever is left is gonna be what's left. Like how many people are buying last minute tickets to a non Harry Styles event, you know what I mean? Not many? By the way, my daughter called me from college and she says, you gotta come get me in college,

gotta come get me right now. My daughter worships Harry Styles, worships him. I said, honey, you're you're like four hours away, like it's eight hours around trip. What what what's the matter? She said, Harry Styles was spotted in Chatham, New Jersey. Apparently he's walking around Chatham, New Jersey. I said, okay, but eight hours from now he won't be. I don't care. I have to come to he's in New Jersey. I have to come home. I said, have a good night, sweetheart,

I'm not coming to get you. She's so obsessed she was gonna come home. Harry Styles is walking around Chatham, New Jersey. The lovely town are very affluent people. Aldo one of the great Italian restaurants. Scary, the walkings, agat the walking, the walking map of food. Uh, you know what I don't. I've never been there. I have to add it to my list. You gave me like seven

Italian restaurants, and also um Scalini Fideli, the original one. Yeah, you're gonna have to write these down legitimately, put them in an email to me and or text them legitimately, because I can't keep Elmando. What was it, little Almando Vecchio? No? What was the lasagna place? You told me how to go to Dino's? Oh the Lasagna? Oh no, that's um

don angie done? Okay. So I go to get my tickets and Ticketmaster has a map of the arena and you can it has under the map a list of all the tickets available, so it'll say like and it goes from um cheapest seats to most expensive, which is a smart way to do it. So it's like upper balcony back and it shows you where it is. As you scroll the little little wheel, you scroll the little dot, the little pin moves and shows you what the seat is. Of course, so it's like up a balcony rowe P

up a balcony rowe Q, and it's alphabetical order. So I want to sit in the orchestra. I'm not gonna buy crazy seats at the front, but I want to sit somewhere on the floor. And so earned it, earned it. I've seen the man forty times, so i'd like to you know, he's my favorite. I'm gonna go and get some good seats. And I apologize I wait until last minute, but because I'm going alone to this show, um, it's easier to get a one ticket, like a seat ticket.

So I see up front the tickets are nine for the first five rows, and then from like row six, I'm gonna say row eight to row twenty, they're all seventy nine dollars. Yeah, okay, and then but be behind that is sixty whatever. Uh And I think there was some uh yeah. So what I did was I got the ticket I would put up with. But I made a note of the tickets that we're still available in the higher price range, because it shows you what hasn't been sold. Now, once the concert starts, that map goes away.

So right before the concert, I pulled up the map, I saw what seats were not sold up until ten minutes before showtime, and so I sat in my seat, and an intermission I confirmed that those seats were available, and I moved my sweet ass up right to the middle front uh and sat in the empty seats that I knew were empty because ticketmaster told me they were empty. Booyah, good for you, Good for you that is you know that's beating the system. That is beating the system. That's

not a Scamboni fore you this person. I feel like that's okay because no one was buying anyway, and it wasn't like I was gonna buy them, but I was like, oh, Scamboni, the lower price. And because I was willing to sit where I bought my seats, but I knew those seats were available. So I satted over and up and his center and sat with no one in front of me in the row ahead of me because I knew that was empty also, and I sat, I don't know, eight rows away from the man himself, and I got over it.

It was great. Boy. So in a theater setting like you go to Master Square Garden, like a major arena, they have security at every at every section they didn't have that here. No, because it's a theater. It's like a movie theater. We go to see a Batway show. Once you're on the floor, they don't care anymore. So you can buy a seat all in the back. Make a note, oh roe l on the side up front is empty. Ye, you just wait it out and just go to the bathroom. Come back. Boom, there you go,

six bam. I love my Scamboni scamboni them. It's my tip bony podcast back. We've been neglecting our little prods talk back.

this long weekend. Thank you, you're welcome. Scary who hates doing them on Friday? I like to f I like fry, I like the beginning of the middle of the week. Well we're doing this one on a Wednesday, okay boo, yeah, well thank you, thank you for that feedback. All right? Uh huh Hey Britian Scary Christie a book life frollo, huge fans, welcome and talk to day one Day one and now the Brooklyn Boy. I rarely sighed with Scary. Sorry scary, but in this case with the Bumble I

have to agree with him. Something fishy? Why not go to Craigslist? Why not go to linked In any other site but a dating site to get work? No, I'm not buying it. Basically, that was the little nugget I dropped this from last week. I dropped that at the end of the podcast where I said that one of our friends was decided to go on bumble biz section of Bumble to advertise their job. But why would you go on bubble biz? Uh, there's so many other sites

to go to Andy in the background. I don't understand that. Um, we were going to follow up on that story this week. You're gonna get some information. However, the day after we posted our podcast, somebody tweeted at me and said, dude, I know who it is. They talked about it on their podcast. Oh so that you were being top secret about William and Sam. That's right from the Bad Wedding podcast. They they went and talked about it. So then they so they're on board with him. They scooped your scoop

of the scoop of them. Wait, scooped. They talked about it on their podcast prior to you teasing it, acting like it was top secret. They had already talked about it. Oh well, fuck me, running, I had no idea. So then it's out there then so then so then then then tell us what the story was. It's above board. Then he was advertising his you know, his his workout sessions and he's a personal trainer, personal trainer. Yeah, well that makes sense. People go on bumble they want to

look good to single. That makes total sense that they were going bumble biz. I get that. Okay, so there's no there's nothing to see here. Then no, if he was like a masseuse, a massage therapist. Excuse me, I mean I remember he massaged me and the sauna that that's he did. Yes? Does that count? Depends what you're counting. Okay,

so that's out there. Play more voicemails. So I've never done this, but somebody did this to my ex just the other day, asking if he could teach her how to play golf as a way to slide into his d M s. Not sure she even plays golf. Hey, that was in relation to last week when I I told you about the girl on TikTok who said I'm about to so teach me about baseball my way into

We go in a while, Well, we hadn't done an episode in a while because Fear the Walking Dead it ended, were almost ended, and we were going to do a couple episodes, and then The Walking Dead's final eight episodes are playing right now, and I've been laxing my duty. My duty has been lax, not x lax, but my duty has

been lack um. Jamie and I are no longer able to do the podcast for various reasons, and uh and among other things are scheduling and uh we it's on indefinite hiatus. So I hope that with all the spinoffs of The Walking Dead that's sometime in the future we will get back on the horse. But we just have not been able to do it.

That was a one thank thank you very much for that message to take our show on the road. And I don't know who's saying bad shit about us you obviously you must have mentioned something I don't even remember now because I try to block it. But f those people, Eric codeine O eight a little more local here in

New Jersey. Check this one out here if they still live in New Jersey. Scary Brodie, Brodie, scary um be calling from Long Island. Just listen to your last episode, Scary. I was dying trying to figure out what you meant when we said to put a raver to your face or to your eye. It's a gaate roller. I have a whole face over routine. I do a poor vacuum on my face, then I do a poor strip, then I do a face mask, then I do a facial theme with some lavender essential oil, and then I do

the gate rowler. And let me tell you, Brodie, my skin has never been clearer. I look with breasts, I don't have beds under my eyes. There's no puffiness. And when they say like release toxins, they mean like kind of flush out the limp nodes and kind of make yourself look a little bit um plumber in your face. It doesn't make you look younger, and it just makes you absolutely amazing. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with men

having a facial routine. Also, Brody, Target has done that to me so many thing times and it drives me. And did reset it? I placed the order online and then they email me, oh, sorry, we don't have it, and then I get mad, and then I go to the store and it's right there. So Target needs to set their dam up. Anyway, I love you guys, all right, see that. You see that I told her to reset it and she did as if she was live. That was great. Now I will say, she was talking about

the jade roller. There was the episode that you were making fun of me because I said, I saw this routine on TikTok people routine, well people, hey, you hey, people would like, you know, like glide this roller across the face and it releases toxins. Exactly what she said. She Uh, she's drinking the kool aid too. But hold on a second. Did she say that it makes your face look younger or plumper, plumper? Yeah, because you and I neither one of us needs are faces to look

getting plumper any more. Plump. Yeah, so that so maybe that's what happened. You used you plump too much? Well, okay, that's great. All right, one final thought and we gotta get out of here. What what's what's going on? Okay? So you know, as a comic con a couple of weeks ago, and I told you I signed card versions of the stickers that I was we was selling through the tops website. I designed four new wacky packages spoof cards that were available on the tops website. They're no

longer available. So one week ron I made it very clear to everybody. Uh, and I hope you guys bought him. If if you wanted them. But I signed for free cards at comic Con that were like board versions in a little plastic case. Uh. And so there were two girls working with me. One girl would take the cards out of the plastic case. I would sign them like a conveyor belt and pass it along. Another girl would

put it back in the case. And then I would stack them up on the counter, and as people would come up and say hi, I would give them a U Count chocula, a couch chocola fat guy on a couch count Chocola but fat, and I would sign my name on it and put it back in, you know, and give it to and give it to the people coming up a comic con. Well shout out to Chris Michio, a regular tweeter. He wrote, I am a pizza Emoji

for Life Slice for Life. Unfortunately I missed the Brooklyn Boys Meet and greet and the New York City Comic Con, so I have yet to meet either David Brodio Scary Jones. If I remember Chris lives in Ohio. I think from member correctly, um, so please don't don't be up said if I got it wrong. If you're from yeah, okay, if you're from Iowa, and I got you mid Midwest state wrong. I apologize. I don't usually confuse states. Okay, so um, I've yet to me David Brodie Scary Jones.

But I just searched for David Brodie on eBay, that's odd, and found a few of his signed cards. I definitely paid for one. So people are taking the cards that I gave out for free and selling them moneybay. So I looked online. I did a search for David Brodie on eBay, and I found that people are asking over a hundred dollars for my autographed count I'm sorry, couch chocola, wacky Packages card. This five sold that all sold for fifty or more dollars. Uh, And so people are making

a profit off my free signature and card. Should I see that as a tribute to you, David? A tribute? My wife said it was awesome. But here's the thing. Here's the thing I said to Chris, I'm sorry you bought one. I would have given you one because I have like a couple in my house, one or two that I took when I was like, Brodie doesn't want people making money off of his bone, So just go comment. Just go on tweet David Brody and maybe he'll give you one. Well, here's the thing. I don't want people

making money off my bones. But it is a compliment to me that somebody wants to sell. Well, it's a compliment that somebody wants to buy them. I'm a little annoyed that someone who got them for free wants to sell them, but I get it. It's it's capitalism. I have no problem with that capitalist. After I wrote to Chris, I would have given you one. Kenny row Ark, another great guy on Twitter who's an auto mechanic, or at least someone who's offered to fix my car anytime I

need it fixed, said may I have a card? Please? Well, the man's offered to fix my car. I don't know if I honestly, if I haven't it yet. They promised they were gonna send me a small box of them. So if I get some, I'll let you guys know. And then, of course shady Juw Mobster said, I'll raise my hand for one if it's free, it's for me. Second time I said that today. So, uh, everybody's not asking me for it. So before this gets out of hand,

I currently really don't have them yet. But here's my question, Scary Jones, I have a question. I'm gonna if I get any I will give I give some out. You know, we'll do like, uh, some some giveaways on the podcast. Okay, if I get enough of them. But is it wrong? Because I already asked tops they said it's not wrong. Is it wrong if I put them up on eBay and I make money off of them since I'm since I'm currently between occupations, because that's good old fashioned capitalism

if you ask me. So, here's what I thought. I would fucking load ball these people because I'll have a box of them. Yeah, I'm not selling one hoping for the best. I can put them up for ten No, no, if they're selling them for like fifty sixty seventy, I'll load ball them at thirty five and make a killing. I like that idea, So that's not wrong. If I do that, well, you're a shyster, but I love it. Oh,

is it that time to say goodbye? A? Ready? All right, I'm gonna put my change my shoes, put my slippers on. I'm a pipe, smoke and jacket. Get ready for that sounds good? I'm gonna sleep soundly tonight. Where in Brooklyn, boys, boys all in be
