Start uf dot up, start up, Brooklyn buys start up, Brooklyn buys dot up. They're making noise. Do up dot up, Episode two thirty four, The Brooklyn Boys Podcast. Hello, I would like to apologize. Last week it was two thirty three, and I was all excited at the beginning to say we are only a hundred episodes away from three thirty three, and I forgot. So now we're only episodes away from three three? Why is three three a significant number? Is this a movie quote or something? What am I? No? No,
it's three three and three, that's all. And it's halfway to six six six. So yeah, but okay, so we'll guess what. We're a hundred away from three thirty four. So how about that? Try about that? Well, we hit too twenty two. We made a deal out of it, didn't we say something? Did we? Those are angels. Those are regarded as angel numbers. Four four four numbers. No, no, angels, angels don't count it. Some people they value this, like when you look at the clock and it says eleven eleven,
you make a wish? Yeah? Can I tell you when I used to work at Rolling Roaster? You're not impressed? No, When I used to work at Rolling Roaster, which is a really big fast food restaurant and cheap, said Baby Brooklyn,
huge business. Right, So the clientele that was all very similar and whenever I would give them their their number, like so the way you the way you would um the way you do it is you come to the register in order and then you would slide back a few feet or sit down and we call your number. You come to the counter and get your food on a tray. So it's not like McDonald's where you stand there and they give you the food. It takes a little while. It's a little higher quality fast food. It's okay.
The in fact, I think the remember correctly, we're not so fast Rolling Roaster was. There was their jingle anyway. So either you give them the total price like it's ten mils and seventeen cents, or you'd say your numbers three four right, one to a thousand, one to nine nine and it reset inevitably seven or eight times a shift. You'd get somebody going, ah, your numbers two three four, Oh, that's a good number. I gotta play that number as as if the machine knows what a good number is.
But the dumb luck is how most people hit the lot of You know, why couldn't you just go play two thirty four? Anyway? What's your bad number? There's no good at bad numbers, is my point. They're all numbers, but four four four it's a good number. Four is an angel number for a lot of people, meaning they think that that specific combination it means good luck, or someone's watching over them, and there's things are good that
are that are gonna happen. My friend Brian Jet skip Brian, oh, not toilet full, asleep on the toilet, Prian not toilet Brian jets keep Brian firm. He believes in his angel number and it happens to be four four four. So when he sees that, he goes crazy. He's like, oh my god, look at this scary PM. We looked at the clock at that time. Don't you find yourself looking at the clock at this I see myself. You know, it's crazy. I always look a four every night. The
clock is a is a man made function. We we invented it, but it's not it's not why am I not looking at the clock at nine thirty six? Or no, you just don't remember it because it's because it's so I look at it. I'm like, oh my god, it's I keep, I keep. Why am I reminded to look at the clock at when you look when you look at the clock at seven, it doesn't register with you. It's only registered. It's only registered because you made yourself try to remember that number. No, your brain doesn't have
a clock in it. It doesn't know what nine twenty four is. It might know that it's in the morning. Your brain might know it's time to wake up. So's I'm looking at all these other times? Yes, of course you are as well. Of course you're at sixty times twelve is how many different numbers can be on the clock. I know. But it's crazy that I always tend to look at the clock at I'm like, there it is again, I happened to look at it at I'm gonna call you at nine twenty two tonight and tell you to
look at the clock. Okay, he look at the clock at nine twenty two. Not discounting other times. I'm just saying, there's something that's the time that I look at the clock most. Does that make sense? No? No, all right, But your your brain doesn't know it's right, I think there's something more to it, I think. But you're born on September were you're born at in the morning at night? No, right, it's coincidence. Coincidence, Yeah, it is coincidence. I didn't say
it wasn't, but it was. It's crazy that that happens. I because do you make a wish at eleven? You're supposed to? Yeah, when was the last time you made a wish and it happened? And not from coincidence? Like? Not that? Like you wish the Mets would win and they want that's not a thing. That's not a thing either. No scary of eleven eleven worked? It be no cancer, no wars, no one would die because that's what everybody wishes for. Everyone would be rich. It's it's tradition. Now,
I still gotta make my wish at eleven eleven. Listen if that makes you happy, If listen, slices, this is just me talking, This is me. I am a doubting Thomas. Uh So you you go ahead and be happy and you enjoy life anyway you want. I don't take joy in that. That doesn't mean you should. What about a cause and effect thing? Where um I crumble up a piece of paper, and I want to get it into the garbage pail across the room. And I say to myself, if I make this shot, then this is gonna happen. Right.
Then you miss, and then you say two out of three? That's what everything? That's no. No, if I get it in, No, But if I get it in. So you think a random piece of paper thrown into a random garbage pail with your random limited ability to shoot a basketball. Yeah, and if I get it in, it's going to affect your plane landing safely. Well, that's expected. I'm talking about maybe maybe I'll win some money or right, maybe go ahead and try that. Now, go ahead and shoot a
crawling up some paper. Go ahead, shoot it into your basket, and let's see if you win any money. If that's what you want to do. What you're your paper and your your wish. Are you trying to say I'm wasting paper? Yeah, I'm saying you're wasting paper. The tree did not die so you could do this, But okay you are. You're such a fucking pessimist man. Yes, Also, why don't you wait till shoot the paper? Even better? If there you go?
Now you're talking my language full have a piece of paper and shooting at night twenty four and it goes in the hall, yeah, then the whole Maybe it goes into the garbage. Why don't you write on the paper with your wish on it, Crumble it up, throw it in the garbage. See what happened and if it if it makes it? If I make the shot into the garbage, can then what? Then then you didn't? Then you then you didn't miss? Right right now, there's somebody screaming, no,
you can't cramble the paper. It ruins it. God, did we just go on and on about numbers? I don't know. Are you shooting with your left hand your right hand? Because that's very important to some people. The left hand is I'm not I'm not even gonna entertain this. I'm not gonna do it because you're left handed. I'm not gonna do it. And that's evil. Left hand is evil, Yablow. Well, as of being a left handed person, I was discriminated
earlier in life. You know, I was forced to play the guitar right handed when in music class because they refused to get a left handed guitar, Like that's right? What so well? Who will the hell this way you can go to anyone's house and play it's are I know, but it was more comfortable for me. I mean, Paul McCartney didn't conform Jimmie Hendricks. Did Jimmy Hendricks playing the guitarpside down? No? Yeah, he turned his guitar over and restrung it. So he's a lefty who he's a lefty
playing a right hand guitar upside down. His guitar faces left, but the strings are upside down. No way, I didn't know that. You know, his guitar faces his right, your left correct, my left right right, but it's it's upside down. The guitar itself is upside down because he didn't have a left handed guitar. Oh, I didn't know that. So he learned how to play guitar backwards. That's upside down.
Well yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, I play the right hand guitar side now, yep, but me dextrous but in yeah, no, but when I that's probably one of the reasons why I didn't learn and care for the guitar, because I wasn't a strong guitar player. I couldn't strum with my right hand. I couldn't you know, use the pick with
my right hand as right. I wanted so badly because my power hand is my left hand, as you know, as your parts of your body now, so so I would I would want to strum with my left hand, but and do the chord, you know, the progression and changing with my fingers on the right. Couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Yeah, so so yeah, I could see that. I could see that. See I could. I could make the chords with my right hand, yeah, right, like I could definitely play that part with my right
hand if I trained. But the left hand, no, I couldn't strum not not as well, of course not. Did we just go on for ten minutes about numbers and strumming and making wishes and left hand versus right hand? Why not? This is what our podcast is. It's your is and you love it podcast? As I was about to say, so you mean something in the party they go? You do a podcast? What's it about? Who can answer that? Who could say what it's about on a weekly basis?
I don't know. You know what I did? I just got an alert on my phone, because when you when you watch things on eBay, you get an alert, right like if it if somebody makes you an offer, or if the price drops, You've had that happen to you, right my count Chocula Wacky Packages autographed card from Comic Con went down ten dollars on somebody's Uh, I guess the love Affairs wearing off. Oh so they started high. It didn't start at fifty. Now it's at because it
didn't sell because people like, what's this? Well, the people that wanted it right away got it, and now it's down to thirty. And get this, get this part. I love this part five nine shipping the ship of baseball card. Wait a second, so I'm paying for the wacky package, Yeah, and then about more than your another five dollars. I mailed two things out yesterday. I go to the post office. One was a wooden picture frame with a photo in
it that somebody wanted an old picture frame. I had a friend of the family and an article of clothing that I sold online, not on eBay. I sold it online, so I had to pay for my own shipping. The clothing was in a yellow Manila envelope, not Vanila envelope, Manila, Manila, Manila, and the other one was in a box I would say maybe two inches high inch and a half high, but I would say like eighteen inches square, So a flat square box with a wooden, relatively solid picture frame.
And so I asked how much to ship the heavy wooden picture frame. She says said, all right, well I'll suck it up. How much to mail the lightweight minill envelope with sweatpants in it? What it's like, it's lighter and smaller. That's just what it says. That can't beee what it says, and she turns the screen around you. That's what it says. Is this the United States Postal Service ESPs. Yes, they're known for flat rates. They this wasn't a flat rate box. You have to put it
in one of their flat rate boxes. Simpling things, making things more simple for people. And that's no simple. It does not mean I want the same price for the heavy thing in the light thing. No. They put things into categories once you exceed that stuff from David Brodie and stuff not from David Brodie. Know what I'm saying is sometimes when you go over a certain amount, then they will go give you to the next price category.
So you're saying, I went right over the minimum for the and the other one was within the rain at some bullshit bullshit charge me by the ount. All right, well, you know what, go to a different establishment, you know you yes, the other post office. You can competitor. You could, you could the competitor. You can send a fed X ups d XA. You have other Oh yeah, oh yeah, those are much cheaper. Let's not forget. The post office is still a business. At the end of the day.
Usps they get paid, They have their pricing system. You don't go to their competition. The competition has more money. They don't ups doesn't specialize in lightweight ship for three days like ground. The United States Postal Service has you buy the balls by the balls because they know that their competitors are way higher. You know, you know how much you're gonna pay d h L. Let's look, you can you can compete if you throw, if you're a ship in a big box, because they make them ups
fed X DHL. They make their money on the big boxes. They get you on a little ship at the post office. Oh, they get you. They listen. I'll love the post workers. They pick you. They know the little guys coming in. That's David, Yeah, soccer, bring him in Matt, Matt, I wouldn't say it's a Scamboni. Yeah, but something's up. So speaking well before we get into Scamboni's speaking of selling things, yes, um,
and and seeing if they retain their value. You're calm. No, no, you you're you're overlooking something very big that just happened this past week. Last week. What happened last week? You're not trying to sell your Halloween cost area. No, but that's a good idea too, my cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. No, I'll say this. I just upgraded my equipment. You know, my six thousand dollar, million dollars zillion dollar equipment. Yep. That it's called the road Caster Pro.
You guys are looking up road Caster Pro. We talked about this last week because your new one doesn't work. Yes it does, and you jingle. I'm using it right now and it took it took you two hours to figure out how to do a reach around. We'll figure this out. It's fine. Road Caster Pro two is what I have. Now you're listening to me on Okay, one point nine million dollars. My road Caster Pro one is up for sale. Now here's some price points for you.
When I bought it, it was new technology. It was five fifty dollars for this, Okay, if we're being completely honest, all jokes aside, five and fifty dollars for the road Caster Pro. Now it's a couple of years later, so and it's depreciated in value. It now sells new for like four hundred because the new one came out, so four thirty whatever it is, I I am selling mine
for three hundred dollars all in, now, get this. And I also had bought a dust a hard plastic dust polycarbonate dust cover for it, so that's a that was fifty dollars at the time. So you're getting you're getting something now online that you can get online for maybe I don't know four and it's and it's us retails for four fifty. Okay, I'm gonna sell it for three hundred.
But do you think that because it specifically is the road Caster Pro that belonged to Scary Jones, fingers have been all over this fucking thing that you can say, David Brody value estimated value of ninety three dollars, right right, So my question is do I up the price and come out with it that this is specifically the road Caster Pro used by the Brooklyn Boys podcast for the past two years. Because you remember, my, my, my fingers have been all over these knobs, if you know what
I'm saying. My favor the faders, the buttons that start the jingles, you know your favorite in a appropriate you know, my fingers hit the buttons on these pads, on the pads, so actual Scary Jones grease will be on those buttons. Yeah, food grease from pose. Well I'm looking on eBay for the unit you're selling, Yes, the road cast To be honest with everyone, Roadcaster Pro. How much do you go for? Well,
this one says Roadcaster Pro plus cover. Okay, so you get the cover, the cover, the dust cover is at item, but it doesn't matter. I mean, I'm throwing that in for free. Okay. Well, this one is no bids so far, shipping starting price to what for the road Caster Pro YEP Roadcaster Pro Production Studio pre owned with three bids? Bullshit? Oh yeah, well they're doing their fucking bid thing. Roadcaster Pro podcast. It's not gonna go for anything close to
that dude podcast. So you know what I'll do look at it. I will look at how much it. Nope, nope, nope, nope. I will look at completed items sold items. Two seventy five have been sold. Let's see what's the podcast pro podcast Parts only doesn't work, Parts only doesn't work. Broadcast pro podcast production pre owned sold for one with fourteen dollars and thirty cents shipping. The fad door sold to fifteen free with free shipping, UH sold to twenty nine
free shipping. Everyone's telling me this thing, I should I get four hundred four thift I'm selling it at three hundred dollars. That's a steel podcast to two bids seven fifty seven dollars eight cents ship sold a to thirty seven, sold to twenty seven, sold sold for to forty nine, sold for two. I have delusions of grandeur because I'm thinking that my three hundred dollar item is gonna be worth even more money because it belonged to Gary Jones
of the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Well, none of these officially say that. Do not say he's just some cachet to that or what is there? I guess that's up to the slices. Look, the slices paid fifty bucks and I signed my signed car. Yeah, but they haven't used for that, they can hang it up or frame it or some bullshit. This thing here is you need you need to probably want to like plug microphones and things into it and start your own product podcast. So let people do that.
If there's a slice that wants to well, now I feel like I'm overcharging them a three D. I have the Snowball microphone by Blue that people wanted to buy from me when I got the new Yeti microphone. Now you've got David Brodie saliva, you can you can spittle he spits into his fucking mic. You want to microphone spatting by David Brodie. But the good thing is it's still free. You know what, there's plenty of DNA on there. No, I don't do that. I'm not into that. I'm not
sexually aroused by microphones. Well, dude, this is can we talk about Can we talk about selling your costume now? After the break? But are we off this topic? We've done so how much conclusion? How much you have to sell this damn thing for? Well, I would say wait until the hundred that are on sale gets sold. But I have a feeling that everyone is upgrading right now, and everyone is selling their road can remember what happened to me with my scooter? How slice for life? My
scooter off me? Yes, and then and tagged you when he showed up. It was a two thousand dollars scooter I was selling for us or something yea, And how much did you get on the spot he gave me. He's like he tried to haggle me right then and there and it worked, and it worked. I gave him yeah, and then he wrote away with my brand new scooter, never used, fresh out the box. And he called me a sucker, by the way, but he was a slice.
So how do not take that money? I hear you, all right, slices, If you want a road cap, stur Pro, whatever scar he's asking for it, show up to it to wherever he wants to meet, and then all from a hundred dollar less or from a hundred dollars less. So if he's only gonna get to twenty five on eBay minus the fees that eBay charges, which is like one ninety, he'll clear one nineties lucky or from or from a C note f plus the free shipping and then things. The thing is pretty heavy. I'm gonna make
about twelve dollars on it. That's it. Well, no, you got gonna come to your house if you live in the New Jersey and New York tri state area. I'll throw in an autograph tops Scary Jones bit book. That's right, we have those. You know what else you could do? Why don't you have them meet at the station? Give them a tour? Oh how about a tour? A tour in the station right over here a tour and autographics book are and for an extra twenty bucks, they could
stand where I used to stand in the studio. Compicture where Brody used to stand. Dude, this is like and then you know you do? You say you play? It used to be my playground by Madonna as it's playing, this is this? This is the sign Felt Pizza Tour. Yes, what this is the Brody and Scary Brooklyn Boys Tour. Damn it the jingle matched, damn it. Hey, you've gone on enough trips, right, vacations tomorrow? Yeah, you're going to Florida,
I know. But you you've gone to like islands and and uh of courlands in the stream right, that's what we are. You've gone to Latin American countries. Horse Okay, I've been places like Mexico, the Caribbean. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So you know you can do you unusual things like doone buggy riding and paras sailing and jet ski a TVs. Right, there's these different things you can do. Right, zip lining I've done so. I went zip lining in Singapore,
I went being in Costa Rica. Yeah, it's so absolutely okay. So, uh a friend of mine is going on a cruise with a bunch of uh what with a friend of his and three of his friends and their wives, like eight of them are going on a cruise. So I'm going on a cruise in December and he's going on a cruise. So we were talking about like the excursions we want to do. So he tells me he and his wife are very excited. They all want to go when they go to this one one country, doesn't matter where.
He wants the whole group to go donkey riding. They want to ride donkeys. Donkeys, Yeah, like on a trail like the first of all our donkeys. Calm animals. Yes, they don't go buck wild. They don't get like horses where they can get prennetic and out of controls. These are these are professional These are donkeys that went to school to go on tours of donkey rides, like they're
professionally trained. They got their certificate and donkey tours. I think you're all set, okay, okay, okay, So he tells me, yeah, I'm gonna My wife and I are excited. We've always wanted it's it's a donkey tour, goes by waterfalls and like scenic views, and it's like something the two of them have always wanted to do. So a few days ago, I see him and I say, hey, so, how's it going with the cruise? He says, we're not doing a donkey tour? What what happened? He said? My friends, three buddies,
they can't go on the ride. They can't go on the donkey ride. So now none of us are going. What do you mean? What do you mean they can't go on the donkey ride? He says, the donkey right is a two pound limit, and all three of my friends are well over that, so they're barred from the donkey right. Next question, how much weight can a donkey hold? Uh? Don keyxote I about two nine pounds. That's that's sad.
So his body is like, I don't know what to do because they can't go on it, and they haven't he hasn't even brought it to them yet, like he looked it up. What do you think the donkey is thinking when somebody gets on it's like this motherfucker? Yeah, you know, the donkey's like, can we please do these tours before breakfast? What makes okay? And to fifty one
not right? And the interesting thing is the interesting thing is this is not America, right, So it's Kilo's probably, but in the brochure it's or the website it says two hundred fifty pounds because that's an even number. But let me let me see what what that translates to. I'm gonna do that now, hold on, two hundred fifty pounds, so what do you what are you suggesting? Okay, so it's a hundred and thirteen points. So the obviously wherever the donkeys are located, right, it's not limit. They must
say a hundred fifteen kilos ten kilos. They're not gonna say a hundred thirteen point three nine eight kilos. So what I'm wondering, Let's see, let's see how we can get around this for them. If it's let's say it's one fifteen. If it's a hundred and fifteen kilos, then the guys can be two three pounds. But either way, they're way over the they're way over you. Imagine you you again, I'm not I'm not giving my opinion. People
can be whatever size they want. I'm saying, can you imagine you're planning a trip and the thing tells you you can't go on the donkey ride? People hit with this all the time. If if you're pregnant, can't ride? Right, But is that the reason you're tall? That's the classic one, right, but that the ride? Right? But is that you know, like, oh, I was embarrassed. I went like I went to the ride. Case It's like it's not a high thing or i'm
pregnant thing. It's like it's it's a wait thing. I'm like, that's what they're telling you, though, they're pretty much saying you're fat, you can't right, they're saying you too big. I'm not saying the same thing. If you're an NBA basketball player, you can be too fifty and skanny. So I'm just saying George and fIF Although if you're an NBA basketball player. I'm pretty sure you're walking on top of the donkey, like your feet are just dragging the
ground at that point, you're not righting the donkey. If there's a weight limit for para sailing, I want to know about that because I want to come falling out of the sky. I thank them for pretty say you look. They're saying that you're two D two hundred pound limit and and and Scary Jones is to twenty. Well, guess what, I'm happy that you shared that information with me, and I don't feel bad for being a little over the limit.
I'm like, but he's trying to stuff me on here and make your profit, you know what I'm saying, Like, here's my question. Though. You know people if you ask him, oh, why did you lose the weight, They'll always have a reason like, oh, I had to lose twenty pounds for a wedding. Yeah, I wanted to look good in the tuxedo. You know what I was. I was getting new job where i'd have to like work in the warehouse. I
had to get in shape. I lost my I lost weight, right, my wife and I made a bet step could lose more weight. I lost weight my doctor told me I had high blood pressure or whatever. I lost weight. Right, it's causing if you imagine somebody tells you, hey, you look good, why did you lose the weight? I wanted to write a donkey whatever I want, I lost the weight to write a donkey. Yeah. Well, listen, motivation is motivation? Who players right, the same same result. Magine you lose
like thirty pounds between now and your vacation. You get there, you're like to fifty one. You're out, You're out. You can't do it. He's start taking your pants off. Yeah, I think it's cool. I don't. I don't think it's cool that that that's the case. I think it's unfortunate.
But to be motivated by something, I mean, yeah, when I initially lost all my weight, which time the first time, the first time, because I was get that jingle ready, it's right display I'm not I'm not getting I'm not going to mention a client here for a second, just for a second. Uh. You watch Netflix, right, right? You sometimes put on Netflix, Yes, and when you when you turn it on and goes makes that sound. And when you watch let's say you watch Friends, the TV show
Friends and you turn it on. It goes bown and and and and part of it's part of the show. Somebody dm me and said, enough what they hit the jingle thing already. Listen, you signed up with this podcast. That's what we do, you know what I mean, Like, hey, Chandler, stop going, could you be more interesting? That's what he does, That's how he talks. So somebody is upset that when I mentioned a gratuitous client hit the jingle you know that we hit the jingle or any of that whole thing.
They're done with to hit the jingle thing really, which we haven't done in a long time because I've been very good. I just I don't want to hit the jingle just because I'm you know, bringing up the past, right, you know, I'm trying to tell a story and kind of fourth your fourth quote of scary right now, right and fourth quote of scary. But I was about to mention that when I initially lost my weight on Dr Fat loss, I was was. We talked about it. I
warned you. So when I when I initially lost the weight, I was first by the fact the first time I was invaded by the fact that I didn't recognize myself in a picture I took with Britney Spears. I was like, damn it all my whole life. You know, I'm a big fan of Brittany No really though in real life, not because she's posting, you know, nude pics on and you go back to the to the late and nineties, I was. I was a fan of the same way that we have swift ease Hi, you know that? Are
you know? I was? I was growing up Brittany All. I love Brittany. I love Brittany's music, and so I finally Brittany. I finally got to meet her when she was out in Vegas on her show when she was doing from man her at the radio station I found. I finally got I did, but I found got a picture with her. Oh I got a bunch of pictures with Brittany Well with tight this picture here. So I took it and I'm like, oh my god, I don't even recognize myself. I didn't recognize myself. I'm like, WHOA,
I need to do something. And that was my motivation. That was my tipping point, the fact that I was gonna post a picture on social media of me and Brittany, and I was really embarrassed to post it. So that's what got me going. And so really the lesson here is whatever whatever motivate you. It could be the weight limit on on riding a donkey. It could be a doctor tell you have high cholesterol. It could be whatever in the weight lost world. But did you could apply
this to anything? At least there was some catalyst. And for me it was I don't have five chins and that that that doesn't look like me at all. That was me, and that's what I did. But but everyone needs a tipping point or something or some signal, right, So well, for me it was when I lost the wait a year ago. It was a picture I took a Carmines, my favorite restaurant. You were there with Jeff Timmins from ninety eight degrees. Oh you didn't like a picture, not like my picture? Huh. So I I lost the
way I lost. And then the next picture I took was with um was with fourth quarter Scary and you looked like a stick. Yeah, that's by the way, that's the best thing you can do. The best thing you can do is just take a picture next the fourth quart of Scary. It was last year at this time, and I'll never forget this. We were, Um, I was doing one of my appearances at Calandra's for the jingle Ball tickets. And the Calandra's is a bakery by the way, uh in the in Jersey, and I was currently a spot.
I was fourth quarter scary and you like, hey, come on, let's take a picture together. You were the one asking me to take a picture. And we're trying back in front of the step and repeat. That's like, since when does Brody want to take a picture. He fucking avoids the camera and avoids these things. We take a picture and I'm like, I see this, motherfucker. We look like the number ten. So I see what you did there.
So yeah, so if you really want to look fit, yes, I look I look good and you look like you kill a donkey. It's the boy. So uh, we have two things we've teas so far, a scamboni and selling Halloween costumes. And those are the things that we really got to get to. Yeah, so which one you wanna do first? Well, okay, selling Halloween costs? The Halloween costumes, Yeah, because you mentioned our costumes from earlier, and uh, we'll go for it. Well, I I sell I've got it.
I had about six Halloween costumes that I really never wore. A yeah, we get them free every year. We take pictures in them, and then I don't. I don't go to any parties or anything I would wear them. So eventually you know they're in the attic. So I put them up Bunny Bay or or Facebook or wherever. And I sell costumes, right, So if it's not a lot of money, so I sold, I I seem to sell like one a year randomly, like they go, I'll take
that one. So this year, I don't know if you remember this, about four or five years ago, I requested my my costume from Spirit Halloween. Great Halloween a company, and they were a client back then for me, and we all got, you know, our free costume to dress up for Spirit Halloween. And I picked Kylo Wren, who's the bad guy in the Star Wars sequels. Well, when the costumes showed up, it was a kids large, not
an adult large. And so if you remember, I taped the costume to my shoulders, right, and I made a bit out of it. Well, what am I gonna do with that? Costumes? So I you never even you never even wore it. No, So five years later open right, So I put it up to sale every year and it hasn't sold this year. Somebody said, you know they did, they'll it's it's listed as it's available, and there, of course there is it available. So I sold that. I think I got fifteen bucks for it. Great enjoy yourself.
And I had I had last year's Mandalorian costume. Okay, that's the one I told you last week. People wanted me to drive the Staten Island. Yes, so I got another one since last week's podcast, and they said, oh can you drive? Are you gonna be in uh New Brunswick, New Jersey anytime the next couple of days. Can you swing by, swing by Scary and drop off the custom
swing by? Just it's because it's that easy, it's it's it's probably five six dollars and tolls an hour and a half round trip, never mind the gas to drop off. If I swing by New Brunswick. You want the damn costume two days before Halloween, you come and get it, right? So I say no to them, and a nice woman d ms me, uh Sunday Sunday. Halloween was Monday, right, he ms me Sunday? Yep? He ms me Sunday and says, hey, can my husband come and pick up the costume tomorrow?
I said, well, I'm only available eleven to two because I have things to do. Oh, he'll be there. I'll have him d m you tonight or early tomorrow morning with what time is good for him. But we definitely wanted. How do you want to get paid? I tell him Venmo. I tell him my Venmo and they go a great, Well, Venmo, you're not a problem. So what do I do? Scary? I take it down from being posted. I market is
sold on the Sunday before Halloween. Ye, next day, I d m her on eleven and I said, hey, it's waiting here back what time is your husband coming between eleven and two? So she writes back about a half hour later, Oh, we decided not to get costume this year. Wow. Now it's like around noon, close to noon whatever Halloween. On Halloween and I have to now relist the item that you told me you were a hundred percent buying. I should have had them paying me the night before,
but whatever. So, uh, next year I will be selling my Mandalorian costume. Uh, because it didn't sell this year. So f me f me and f her. There's a premium if you want to buy David Brody, Warren well almost Warren, or touch Mandalorian costume. That's right now now, scary and I did take pictures, uh, in my I was in my Mandalorian costume last year and you were in your Rick and Morty Mad Scientists costume. I think
so I did put it on. But if I take it off right away and put it back in the bag neatly, I consider that new technically, but it's new enough. But there's no new enough option on eBay or on Facebook condition new enough. So what are you gonna do with yours? Because first of all, where do you and and and your girlfriend get costumes? Because every year, every time your rich friends have a party, you have really nice costumes, not the client with the rubber band masks.
So what are you doing? Where are you getting your costumes from? Well, what's the deal? Okay? Um spirit Halloween for one, Uh, I'll tell you where we don't get them from anymore is sexy Lingerie dot com. Because they fucked me. Uh, I told you guys supposed to. I told you. It gives new meaning to the word fuck. You know, I told you my mad Hatter costume and how it may be mad. They didn't deliver on time, that's right. They said that it was going to be
rush delivery. I paid for the two day delivery, but they didn't tell you from whenever they put it in the box. Yeah, it's two days delivery from shipping date, which didn't help me at all. And so we were gonna go as a couple's costume. My girlfriend was gonna be the ches your cat. I was gonna be Mad Hatter obviously from Alice Allison Wonderland. And it never came to fruition, so funk those people over at actually Lingerie Mad Fatter. But alright, going yeah, okay, alright, do those
trying No, I don't I apologize. Don't apologize. It's the Boy podcast. Don't get offended next time I go in deep. Okay, no, that's why I said, oh no, don't even talk like that. So we're not going deep on anything. So I decided to go to instat cart. Spirit Halloween has is listed on instat cart. Okay. An instat cart, if you don't know,
is a basically a grocery delivery service. It basically delivers that you're a personal shopper that goes to a lot of stores that normally wouldn't have be listed on Uber Eats or these seamless is like like like like a grocery store for instance, places like our supermarkets, places like that.
So Spirit Halloween is listed on instat Cart. I'm like, oh my god, I can absolutely be just a lazy motherfucker right now, press a couple of buttons on my phone and pick a costume out from Spirit Loueen and have it delivered to me by an instant cart shopper. Do they go into the Spirit and they take it off the shell for it? You? Well, that was my savior. So I personally, oh Spirit Halloween a fucking big thank you, because they stepped up their game this year. They're they're
associated with instat Cart. There's they're in more locations than ever, and they have a bigger selection than ever, and you know, shout out to them. Not a sponsor, not gonna hit the jingle. Um, they just spend a penny with us, which they should have by the way, because I heard I heard they were doing podcast buying this year, because then then none, none of that fell our way. Um, And so they're pretty much uh, save my ass. With
literally forty eight hours to spare, I ordered it. It showed up the next morning overnight in the instat cart shopper. I gave him a nice tip because they went in to go pick it up. I went to my party on Saturday night and I was the cowardly lion. So my girlfriend and I ended up being both feelines. She was she was a chester cat. I was the cowardly lion. And I've never gotten such a response. Did he do the voice? Did you do the voice? Oh? The noise? What?
No courage? I'm scared? Or put him up? Put him up. I'll fight you with one pull behind my back. Yeah. Good, not bad, not bad. A Brooklyn accent for a li um, you know, Brody. I'm gonna say this right here. And I didn't say this to anyone. Yeah, every everybody. I love my fucking costume. No. They were like, like, people were hitting me up. Oh my god, scary looks so cute and cuddly. Oh my god, I want to hug you. It was a good costume. It was it was. It was let's put it this way. Um, it was the
it was the most one of the most expensive costumes. Yeah, it was. It was, but it was real. It was an authentic It was a wizard. It's the brand is Wizard of Oz, so it's sanctioned. Okay, so you could probably you could probably get like sixty five to seventy dollars next year when people get desperate for costumes. I could. But here's the thing. Like the wig is out of its little wig hairnet. The you know, it's unfolded. It's not,
it's crumbled, it's not. It doesn't look like it did. Okay, when someone doesn't have a costume on and get into the hands of sweating, right, Uh, you could get whatever you want for the costumes. Well, this one it also has a badge of courage, like an actual courage badge. It was and and the the beard and the uh, the wig were two piece. It was like a Jerry curled wig with like it was actually looked like a
pay Us. It looked like pay Us coming if you know what that's what the right, but that's what that's what it looked. It looked just like it was from the film. And all I did was put a few whiskers on me with some marker and I was off to the races and I used it for the morning show on Monday. For Halloween, I used it Saturday night and the pictures I took. Everybody wanted to bang me.
I don't know what it was. Well, you couldn't have because you were there was no flying right, there was no I heard you have a little problem going to the bathroom, like seriously that like, no one's called me sexy in years. And I put on the line costume and it triggers something for people. I don't know. You know, people are saying I should have went to a furry convention and maybe you should go blond. Have you thought about that going blond? Oh? My god? You know what.
I was shocked. I hear I was in a last minute pinch to do something, and I'm like, I have to put on a fucking onesie. Did any of the woman at the party give you a last minute pinch? Like my girlfriend you said? They were all everyone thought he looks sexy, you know, they're picture of my cheeks. They were like no, but people were, you know, alright, but yeah, yeah, how many Jeffrey Dahmer's with the party? Zero? Really? Yeah, you know, we talked about this. It was also was
it the big show of US. I don't know. I think we talked about it on the air. I think that the whole oh. I was talking about it with Danielle Monaro on my other Queen of Hollow Queen of Halloween. Yes, with the Speaking Volumes podcast with Sharon Skeary. We had Danielle as a special guest and we were all dressed up for Halloween. Well, I'll say this, Danielle and I both agree that when you do costumes based on real life serial killers where real families have grieved, it's probably
in bad taste and it's probably a poor costume. Like it's one thing to be the most grotesque, disgusting evil Texas chainsaw massacre guy Jason and Freddy Krueger or blood dripping from because it's not based in reality. Right, But if you go dressed as Charles Manson, maybe not as Cool or Hitler, but a story about Hitler, Hitler, I know who he was. Yes, a guy dressed you know, a guy dressed as Hitler in New York bar in the New Yor walked into a New York City bar.
A couple of people were spot dreamed, and they got him the funk out of there and you know what, I stand up and I applaud for that because I think that's a poor taste. I think it's support tastes. And and the fact that he he didn't care, like he was like laughing about it, like h yeah, yeah. Uh. Some people they just didn't understand the assignum here. Okay, but let me ask you a question. Can you dress up like um a till of the Hunt? I don't know who that. I know the name, but I don't
know what the lord war lord? Can you? Can you dress up like uh, like Jack the Ripper? Yes? I mean, well, well this is no We'll see. That's the thing. It depends on how does it affect society? Are people feel in some sort of way because of it? Or or does it? Oh it's two hundred years ago. Who gives a fuck? Well, the thing about Jeffrey Dahmer, I I don't look, I don't I'm not gonna dress up like Jeffrey. I saw some Jeffrey Dahmer costumes. But here's the thing.
Are you dressing up to be the actual Jeffrey Dahmer or you're dressing up to be the guy on the TV show? You know what I mean? Like you're being TV damer now you're now you're trying to separate churches. That's what I'm saying, because the costumes are designed to look like the TV show, right. But you mentioned you also, well that's also a recent thing that that people have. You know, it strikes a chord with people, right because
it's Jeffrey Dahmer. It's in the news. You know, even even Hitler you could arguably say, uh is probably well, it's definitely import taste and it is people feel you You see that and you start feeling away. Whereas Jack the Ripper costume, even though he murdered people, and you know, it doesn't it doesn't Land, It doesn't because it was
hundred hundred years ago in England. Isn't that weird? Though It's the same thing about you know, you know, people not wanting to discontinue Michael Jackson's music, but yet we're canceling R kelly effect. But but you have a love, see that's the thing, you have a passion. R Kelly went to jail. I don't want to get into the minutia the too and whether people or whatever, Kanye they don't want Contris canceled them and he wasn't even with
them about that. Well, well, well we took you know, we stopped playing Kanye on the on on the radio. We stopped playing it and on the morning show on the radio station, on the radio station, and we we we just took Kanye off because people feel But Chris Brown got taken off and then eventually got put Chris Brown still on. He was taken off for a little while. That's what I'm saying. It's all about how people are feeling in the moment, right. So yeah, so it's a
weird conversation to have, I suppose, but it's interesting. It's something that should make everybody think. Right So yeah, so so Hitler and Dahmer, no bad awful, but dr Rippers, Charles Manson, okay, or name anyone else from the sixteen seventeen hundreds, that is probably a poor person to dress up as. But people get away with it anymore. Again, it depends on who you are, because you might be offended if you know that like Henry the Eight murdered
his wives and you know, oppressed people. I just up was the pope one year. The pope who's a good figure, the person who does arguably does great around the world, blesses people, He's a he's a holy holy man, was the pope and walked around the village. I got so many esting Oh my god, take that off. The people. Were they people who are very much in favor of the pope or the people who are not in favor of the pope? Other words, did they not want you
to dress up because it was sacrilegious to Christianity? Or although they did not want you to dress up because they don't they don't like the pope. Some people don't like popes. And by the way, the pope is hard to say because it's always the new pope, Like, which pope were you dressing up as the last one? A pope, pope, a pope, a pope, poiri of popes could be? Yeah, well, whatever point is they people didn't. I'm like, wow, I can't believe this is garnering this reaction right now? What
what do I owe? This dishonor? Uh? And truth be told, they you know, most of these people thought that I was mocking the pope, but I wasn't. I was embracing it. Here's a costume that does good next to this. Jeffrey Dahmer over here, you're yelling at me, You're yelling at I don't know if dressing up like the Pope is the best way. It is, but I don't think dressing up the Pope is the best way to honor the Pope. I don't think you show your respect for the Pope
by dressing up like him and getting drunk. But it's a wrecking Okay, okay, but the face of the Pope. Yeah, but then getting shipped face drunk and using profanity dressed like the Pope. You know, I didn't say I did that, but we know you did. Hey, before we get off Halloween customs, because you're cann hit the jingle on your second did you did you partake any spirit Halloween meme? Me? I did not? I did not, did you? Yeah? So
I got into it late. I think I got into it like Sunday night maybe, And so at the last minute, I'm like, you know what I'll do one I'll try to make it funny and I so I googled how do you do it? So that one woman was like, you gotta download this software and he was like, it's like it's called something. It's like photoshop, and you have to a lot of work, So like, there's gotta be
an app or a website. So I found one website that was awful, awful, and every time you put the cursor down, it moved right, so it's sectioned off where you were. So I would try to delete a letter, but I would delete a letter from another line. I didn't realize it and I didn't notice, so like it was just a mess and it kept like crashing. So it took me like an hour to finally get one up.
And after it was done, a couple of people noticed that I had written cargo sorts because I had accidentally deleted the h when I was trying to delete something else, so I had to go and redo it. I'm like, I'm not going back to that awful website. So I found another website that was specifically like a form, so like you put in the first line of dialogue the second and third, and it automatically placed them in the right spot. So that was better. So, uh, you know,
like you can get a jester costume. Well crtently, I'm I'm not being paid to be a jester. So I wrote former jester costume and I put now you can now you can look like you get paid to make people laugh. Includes a pen and scrap paper, headphones, cargo shorts not included snark, sarcasm, and wit. And I put my picture on it, and it looks like, you know, as best I could do. Yeah, familiar. This is specifically we're talking about those spirit Halloween memes. They're fake costumes,
will you right? Because some people didn't see them, but most right, it's like so, so it's like at least if you didn't make your own. Yeah, it makes you look like you're a you're a costume. So it's like
a bag, a costume bag. It's a costume. Like a clear window on the right side and insert anything here, and so you put yourself with no background in it, and it makes it look like it's a costume of you or a costume of like people will make make it fun of their own jobs, like an accountant comes with a pen and a calculator and very little personality, you know. So it's a way to make fun of overnight DJ. Overnight DJ. And it's basically blank because well,
there's nobody in the studio. It runs by itself right in most in many cities, most cities, not no, not not in New York. We have live we have live overnights in New York. He did overnights last night. M how he did? I don't know, take a break right by. It sounded really weird. You hear that sounds like muffled. Maybe it's your new uh one point nine million dollar system. You're I am a funny man, at least with the scary Jones roadcaster pro. I know people are already asking
for it. Um sound effects, stagers, beds not included. Oh you're not. You're not getting our audio not didn't get the sound. Sorry, because somebody maybe like it's worth It's worth it just for that right that the extra bonus is scary if you're driving down the highway. I was in Pennsylvania this past weekend and there was a town. I'm gonna tell you the name in the town, but as soon as you hear it, I want to know what your instant reaction would be if you were driving
in the car and saw a sign for this town. Okay, th h r O p through group. So you see the sign says throup. What do you say? You're in a call with somebody, what do you say? That's a grammatical error? No, so I I was called my wife, yeah, through said yeah, through. I would First of all, I would think it would be some backwards, no name, backwoods town. I don't know. I wouldn't think of it as a major metropolis. That's no. I didn't either. But so I
see that we're coming up. My wife's driving, and I see it, says Troop. So I go, look, Throop, there it is, Throup, there it is. That's funny. She didn't think, so that's great. She didn't laugh. Yeah, she gave me
the look. She gave me the wife. No, my wife's very funny, but she gave me the look because we already drive in a couple of hours, and she's like, you know, um, we have a couple of things to cover before we get out of here with including this Scamboni that and and and a problem with the national anthem. So let's do the Scamboni. Do you want you want
the national anthem to lay? Yeah? We found Scamboni's. And it's crazy because we usually don't compare notes until right before we start the podcast, right, and Brodie and I usually are on two different pages with what we want to talk about completely. But while Scary was trying to figure out his new Roadcaster Pro two. We were talking yeah, and I said, so, uh, you know anything special you want to talk about? Because I got a scamboni. I got a scamboni, so he told me to scamboni. It
was my scamboni. It was the same thing and the same scamboni. We know, we we mentioned. I mentioned that makes us Scambroni's scam while we are Scambarnis. That's right. This this made the Elvis Duran Big Show. We talked about this, uh there for a little bit and I was not there, so let's do it here for the first time. Yes, So it basically is a real thing going on, and you can google it google shrink flation.
Oh that sounds like a cold ocean. Yeah. Well, some of the some of the products that we know and love are being manipulated now because of inflation. Prices usually go up, but with strength inflation, a company doesn't want to scare you, so they keep the prices the same, okay, but they find clever ways to to actually give you less, so you're basically paying more. We've covered this concept on this podcast. They used to give you eight for instance. You know I'm gonna say Frido's or Dorris I think
it was Dorrito's or Friedo's, one of them. They put five less chips or five less pieces in the bag, and people are noticing it. There's literally five less and it saves the millions of dollars because it's per bag. You're getting five less per bag. So but to the unsuspicious person, to the unsuspecting individual, everything's fine. Prices are the same, still getting my derritos. But that's just said. The prices aren't the same. We used to be two for six, now it's two for seven. Some places two
for eight. But within the context of a bag, if I know that I'm paying three dollars for this bag of doritos, four dollars whatever it is, I don't even know how much derritos are, then I just know that up the prices of the Look at this inflation all around me. But price of derritos have stayed the same. So the bags have gone from nine point seven five ounces nine point to five. So you don't which means
five less chips. But you don't. You don't see it in the bag, you don't feel it, you understand, you don't look, and you're certainly not looking at the bottom right hand of the piece of the label that says that information. But just remember if your bag was empty while you were snacking, you're like, you gotta have five more chips. And then they keep the bags the same size too, They just you know, it's it's the actual contents of the bag. So I don't know if the
bags are the same size. You gotta be honest with a lot of them. Look a lot of them look a little thinner and not as wide as they used to be. To me, that's how I noticed it. Like, and it's not the regular Dorrito's. It's the flavors. It's like the red pepper, the black bean. What they did was which I feel like they did. Maybe it's my own imagination. Some of the products, the non main products, they disappeared from the shells for a couple of weeks.
They ran out of them, right so they could clear the inventory, get all the nine seven five bags out because you were what you wouldn't want is a nine seven five bag next to a nine And then you have that I that actually says, oh I could I got it? I see it, I see, I see there's difference two bags. Then you close out their bullshit. Right, plus the price, The price is going to be the same. Right, the price on the on the sign when they scan a bag is gonna say like three seventy five, four
seventy nine, whatever it's gonna be. They don't want to sell the bigger bags of four seventy nine, so they gotta get all those out. So they all disappeared. Oh where are my big scoops? They disappeared, right where my black bean Doritos. They're gone, what pandemic? Nope, they bring that ship back smaller, same price, or they fuck you both ways. They raised the price anyway, which is what they which is what they've done. It's it's like they
have the gas companies did that. The gas companies screen bloody murder that that the Middle East raised the prices, but then they doubled their double. In other words, the Middle East raised the gas prices, let's say fifty cents gas, they should raise the mo dollar. Yeah, the gas companies, You're like, oh yeah, because Americans are going like, I wonder what gall the gas should really cost. They're like, oh,
it's going on fun these people. But the gas companies are fucking you because they're using that to like price gouge, the price gouging, gouging at the gastle off, and now they gouging me on my chips yea, and yeah, so if you see a product, go away for a while. They're trying to clear your memory and start anew without you leveling, you will lose five chips of weight. Yes, that'll get me a head start this year. If you if you were gonna eat a whole bag or even
half a bag, eat half a bag. I've now eaten three quarters a fourth of the bag. Well yeah, I'm now eating three quarters of the bag. Because no, you eat a whole bag, you're eating five less chips. Yeah, five less? All right, bastards, What were you talking about? The national anthem? Now? Okay, look, I will admit to you that the national anthem, which first of all, doesn't really talk a lot about America. It's not really the best anthem in terms of like talking about our country.
There's a couple of good lines in there, all the brave Scott Key. Listen. It wasn't even supposed to be an anthem. You look up the history of that song. It's okay, it's great when I hear it. I covered my heart, I stand up. I love it, Love America, no problem, I'm so. But it's a very difficult song to sing, a lot of key changes, right, But you should know the words. You should know how words pronounced. Would you admit that? Yes? Um, you should? Okay, So
I mean if you yeah, the president? Do you know the lyrics? Oh? Say? Can you see by the dawns early light? What's so proudly? We stand at the twilight's last gleaming by the undoing? This from memory? That's brought stripes and bright star? Who? What? What was that? Uh? What's the word after? Who's who? Before strip Who's brought? Brought? Who's broad stripes? You think it's brought? It's not because I'll tell you why it's not brought, because it doesn't
make sense. And who's Who's brought stripes? It's broad broad broad broad strag flag, Who's broad stripes broad bright stars, broad stripes and broad st right and bright star b r O A D stripes and bright stars through the perilous plous fight, fight, fight, fight, perilous fight fight weren't flying back then? They have planes? What's the next? Long or o e er the ramparts? We watched. What's that first word? What's that? No apostrophe e er right? And
how do you pronounce that? Or the rap parts that's the problem. That's the problem. So the national anthem this weekend for a football game, and the woman who sang the song said, or the ramparts we watched, it's not it's not r it's or like over or the right or the ram parts or or or so it's twice in the song. The second time it says, oh, say, does that's that star spangled banner? Yet? Wave the banners waving? Where's the waving? Scary over over the land of the
freight are it's? It's right? Or the over about the creations that didn't stand the test of time? Right it's or right? What the fun? We don't use that in in current days? Why Why couldn't he just say over the land he no, he said, or but it's not or it's not or the land of the first even people do what I just said earlier as well, they brought stripes stripes broad stripes. What does that mean? Who's And it's not who apostrophees like who who brought the stripes?
It's who's w h O S whose possession, who's the flag, who's broad stripes? Whose broad stripes and bright stars? Those adjectives before the world who's w h O s right? Yeah, the flag which or you could say because the flag that has broad stripes and bright stars, that's but he said who's broad stripes and right? So she kept saying, or the ramparts or the ramparts. What's my other option? And what's a rampart? Anyway? Have you not google the rampart? No?
Do you know what a rampart is without googling it? Of course I know what a rampart is without googling it. What is it? It's a wall, It's a hill, is it? Yeah? Rampart? I don't know what it is. I thought it was like a firework, Yeah, defense wall, yeah, sa signo stuff A rampart, all the ramparts we watched a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top
of the stone, a stone parapet. Yeah. I guarantee you you quiz America, no doubt no. But nobody will very few people will know what a rampart is without I am not asking anyone to know what other people listening to this podcast, right, now that have had this oh wow moment with us mind blown. I was today years old when I learned what a rampart was and our ramparts gallantly streaming. Explain that one to me? Well, that's why I thought it was a firework, because because to me,
fireworks gallantly stream what is gallant? Gallant like it proudly. So that's personification of the rampart because if you think about it, and that's giving life to the wall, it's that that's making it sound like a person because there it's gallantly streaming. It's an inanimate object. It's it's a it's a rampart, it's a wall. So now this makes no sense. Well let's see if I let's google what that means. The embankments were part of the defense in
a heroic manner. Uh, this describes the flag waving in the wind. That's what it says. What doesn't No, wait, we're so what was so the flag was gallantly streaming or the ramparts. But it's it's a metaphor. Man, Maybe it's a metaphor, are it says? Maybe it's a metaphor flag streaming. People don't know what a rampart is, so then one person says there were flags along the wall, and the flags were waving in the wind, and he was saying that the ramparts were streaming, but the flags
were on the ramparts were streaming. And what what is the twilight's last gleaming need? Not nighttime, I guess, or the rocket or the explosions in the air, the bombs bursting in the air. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the rockets, right, latter bomb but yeah, exactly my head. Again, it's not the greatest, it's not the greatest collection of words ever assembled. America the beautiful that that people a lot of people
think that should be the anthem. There's been debate over talks about America America, debate over the years about it. But Land of the Free, Home of the Brave is a great last line.
