#240: Unholy Night

The Morning Show took a two week break, and this is week one of a two week break. And I can tell you from my standpoint, Normally I don't do a podcast on the week's off. Traditionally I'm on to I'm on a five month break from the morning show. So it's very relaxing. Yeah. So, but it's uh, we decided because last week was just so busy that, um I decided, I don't know. We decided that let's let's let's skip a week and then we'll do one and

then we'll be off again next week. Right, So, and you have a cruise, are you spread it out a little bit? Yep? I'm going on a cruise this weekend. So you're yeah, so so instead of doing three weeks without the boys, it's only a week, one week off, So none of this free dessert business. We don't want to get an email or texts. No, No, everyone's been pretty good about it. Everyone's been like understanding and like excited that we're doing it this week this way. Rather

you don't. You don't have a two week break. You have a one week break, right, kind of like that you guys have earned you guys have definitely earned the one week break. I appreciate that. And you know, for some people like Justin fall Haber, who wrote to us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com, well he'll hear his email later on, later on in a few uh in a few months, because he, for some reason, it will never know that we took this two week break.

He said that, first of all, he if there's any grammar mistakes, he doesn't give a fuck. Um, I've got fat thumbs and a small phone. Um on, I'm on episode fifty six and listening in order trying to catch up. You motherfucker's keep me sane and entertained at work. Thank you for the podcast and all the laughs is Brodie's life really like Larry David's life this much? Or is that the money right or is it just that they

have the same personality. Fuck Agnes gave the seven Fun Roberta, fuck food food food Chinese and fuck the old plane, Flying Fox, fun Taco Bell and all other fast food drive throughs. And fuck United, which, by the way, was it's funny because he's listening to these older episodes and we must have like given a little f you to United back then. Um, everything old is new again because recently had we had another issue with United. So yeah,

so it's it still applies. Hopefully I hear this in six months this email I gotta I gotta d M and I'm so sorry. I don't remember who it's from. But they're not gonna hear this for another two years. They said, Oh my god, I'm laughing. Uh, it's so true. Fat guy shoelaces for episode four? So was that two thirty six episodes to go? Roughly? You need them slip on man, no shoelaces. Yeah, well, I'm I'm very cognizant of how I tie my shoelaces now that I've heard

myself talk about fat guy shoelaces. So um, alright, so I guess we'll get to some more email a little while. Oh my goodness, do you do you speak of flights? Do you does it ruin your entire vacation or mood? Or do you dread having a layover on like a three hour flight with a layover? Yes? I hate it. If I could, I will pay extra for no connection,

because there's so much ship that can go wrong. First of all, your first plane could arrive late, as has happened to me, and then the second plane takes off without you in it. Number two, your bags may not transfer. Yeah, it's it's it opens up unnecessary like bs you know. So so yeah, if we're being you could call me booge all you want. No, no, no, I asked for a reason. Well, let me ask you one more question. I'll pay. I'll pay top dollar for a connector for

an option. Let's just say that it was not an option. Would you rather have the layover on the way to your vacation and then it's in the past behind you, you're done? But yeah, you're dreading leaving your house? Or would you rather have it at the end where you're not thinking about it? You fly down in one fly, you have a great time, and then you're going home. Yeah you're not the rush you get home anyway, So which way would you rather have? The former? The not

the ladder? The I would uh, I would like it on the way down. This way gets erased. Nice relaxing vacation, direct flight back? Yeah right? So right, well double fail then, because my trip home from our trip is a layover in Atlanta? What is oh how long? Uh? Our nothing? Nothing major? But sometimes I like to get creative, right, and this is where we may require a a multi

leg trip. Whereas if you know that it doesn't fly direct, why not go to the first destination if it's a cool destination and hang out for a night and then take the next flight the next day? Or is that too much and I have to I have to meet a cruise ship, so I don't have that option, okay, and then flying back, uh you know, Atlanta, Atlanta is a nice city. I just want to get home, so I'm not gonna do that. If it was it was a city I really wanted to see, then I would

consider doing that, But no, that's not the case. So anyway, it's just curious because I'm dreading it. I'm dreading that, you know, because like, for instance, when we went to Elvis's wedding in Santa Fe. Because Santa Fe is a small town, it's like a forty minute trip to an airport. We took a commuter plane where I thought I was gonna I a small like a three row with one aisle in the middle, you know, a little plane. We took that again for Elvis. I did it, but I wouldn't,

you know, I wouldn't normally volunteer to do that. And I took that to where do we go? Colorado? Maybe? I don't remember where we where? Where we landed. It was a nice airport out of uh. I don't remember where it was anyway, whatever wed was it Denver? Okay? So we had to go to maybe we had to go to Denver. Well, you land approximately in Las Vegas and have to run across the airport the entire length of Colorado to get to the connecting flight. And the

people movers weren't working. And I had had my luggage because you get off this little commuter plane, they give you the luggage. It's not like the airport hands you. So I had to take the luggage and and a bunch of us were running across the airport because the flight was like forty minutes from taking off. And it's touch's terrible. Honestly, it's the most I've run in a lifetime. A lot of stress, a lot of stress, a lot

of stress. So that's the part I'm out looking forward to is I gotta go home now, and got a land in Atlanta. Sorry, I'm in a bit of a funk here. I don't know. I was telling you earlier. Yeah, you sound down for a guy on a vacation, I mean to me. To me, it's like a weekend vacations in Miami for jingle Ball Miami. You're in Fort Lauderdale and it was great time and it was like, you know, seventy eight degrees and sunshine. Yeah. I come home Monday afternoon.

I forget how cold it is here, just that that Newark wind just smacks me right upside the head. I'm like, this isn't a Sinatra song, the Newark wind keeling in blowing in the Newark wind. Well, we're recording this on December twenty second two, So today's date is one two two two two oh two two, which some people would get a kick out of That's why I said it. Play that number. It's good number. Play the number. Uh.

And so it's Thursday. By the weekend we're supposed to have a bomb cyclone and historic wind and rain and freezing temperatures and flights canceled. So I'm hoping to get the hell out of here. But enjoy the weather, my friend while you're home. Yeah, well thanks. You know, I came back for tw two weeks of this, but I didn't do any of my hadn't done, hadn't done any of Christmas shopping. Today I was out of the mall and it was raining. It was disgusting, and I'm like, oh,

I'm just not even in the mood for this. And I was just trying to find gifts and uh, you know, you obviously did all your shopping. Hanukah is underway. You get anything good? You get anything good? Uh? Me? Yeah? So, um, I got let's say I'll go in order. My kids got me some really cool Marvel t shirts that I love. I got a Deadpool shirt. I got an Avengers shirt. Um my wife got me. Oh, I'm gonna go in reverse order, so you let's see, Okay, hold I'm gonna

go back here. My wife got me ad your leather jacket. I say the name because it's boogie like you. It's like butter. It's the nicest jacket I've ever owned, is it really? Yeah? Yeah, it's my wife did right by me. That's cool because you know what, you know why it might tell you went to Bloomingdale's. We were shopping, yes, and uh, I saw that hoodie I loved. I was like a cant aforid that Hoodie' never gonna spend that

much of my own hoodie. And we were trying on leather jackets and a couple of them because I don't normally wear leather jackets. You know, I was like winter coats, like ski coats, and you know, waterproof jackets. I wear like casual you know, I don't care what happens to them jackets. And so she made me trying to sway jacket a couple leather jackets, and she gave me that look. You know though you look you should dress up more often.

You look good in that leather jacket, which is nice from your wife to get that look or your girlfriend. Am I right? Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah, Okay, So I got this leather jacket that I never would bought myself, and it's one of those that looks good zipped up, but looks even better when it's open. So very happy with that with that purchase, although I have a minor complaint that I'll learned to live with. The Europeans are fed up, let up with the European cut, Italian cut, French cut, whatever.

The zippers on the wrong side. Yeah, we've actually talked about that on this podcast. It used to be growing up. I don't and again I don't know why this was the case, but for all intents and purposes, and again just let me put this at this claimer out there, because in case you identify as something else. We were told that male jackets for that were intended for males men where the zipper was on one side and jackets and zippers on you know, for females were on the

other side. And that was just it. It was like right and left whatever. Don't tweet me, but now, well, it's just a European thing or a style thing. There's no rhyme or reason. I think I own one jacket where it's on the wrong side what I call the wrong side, But that's just wrong for me because I'm just used to the other way my whole life. Yeah, but no, no, no, no, you know, I googled why the European jackets have the zipper on the other side,

and there's a lot of different betweetus. I'll know why did they drive on the other side of the road? No, no, I'll tell you why. It says your why um, European royalty used to be dressed that that dressers people dressed them so the person who addressed you would zip up your jacket, feel, which seems weird that like wherever you are, there's someone is zipping on zippier jackie, you got to eat whatever. So I am not a rich European royalty

and there's no one zipping my jacket. So much like the Europeans who drive on the wrong side of the road. Put the zipper back, hey, you know, to put people jackets to them, we drive on the wrong side of the road. But that's it's how I know we're right. You know how I know we're right because we invented the car. End of conversation. Anytime of European tells you a British person tells you're on the wrong side of

the road. Remind them who invented the goddamn car? Yeah, well, I know they had horses and buggies, and I know why they driving outside of the road so you can handshake the person as you went by, whatever the fable is, and you could joust in the whole thing. But once cars were invented here in America, we decided which side

of the road end of store. I also find it very I mean an awful thing that that uh that a tradition from a ritual from way back when they had peasants dressing people that we still decide we we we Yeah, why did they change it then? When when you know, when they freed the peasants and the slaves and everyone just like and like, you know, you know what, as a big fuck you, We're moving the zipper to

the other side where it belongs. Right. And if if if Toyota has to make cars for most of the world with the steering wheel on the left, and has to make special cars for parts of Europe um you know, British, uh Land and Holdings, then then I have to make a step recall with the lightning driver's wheel on the right. Then Dior should make American jackets with the zipper on the right. They just because they they want to be like, you know, because there's still people who go, oh, the

zippers on the very europeanloholola bla, bla bla. I did not tell you my second gift from my wife. What would that be, David Brodie? I got the hoodie? Oh ship, you got got the hoodie? Final looks good on me? Really? Yeah? Okay, why don't you why don't you elaborate? Well, okay, the hoodie from a few weeks ago that I told you in Bloomingdale's was like a light purple lavender malve kind of and I said it was like a couple of hundred dollars anyway, I would never have bought it for myself. Yeah,

but I told you it was like butter huh. It looked great on me. For me, it was after dropping much many hints. Well, I tried it on in front of us. She saw the look on my face when I was like, oh my god, if that wasn't she said it. She looked at it and she's like, oh my god, you look great in that. You should get it. And I said, this is why I'm back in October, end of October, maybe only November, and I said, she, well,

maybe they'll go on sale. I said, all right, well, maybe goes on sale, you know whatever, but I'm not gonna what's it gonna go on sale to? Still whatever? Well, I got it. So I got a jacket in the hoodie and I'm I'm definitely gonna wear the hoodie on our trip. Jacket probably not because we're going on a cruise. I don't need to Jack. That's so cool though, she actually was, well, she she picked up on it. You know, my girlfriend has to email me directly and say what

she wants. Uh, Janet Janet Jackson is coming to town in May, and she's like, hey, if you're any chance struggling on what to get me, Um, I do? I do want to see Janet Jackson at the garden. Very nice, Okay, but the thing is to me, that's a birthday present because her birthday is in May. So I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna hold off on that. I'm concert it's in May, it's after her birthday, so okay, but you're gonna get the tickets now and not give them to her? No, no, no, no, no no, I'm gonna

get them. She's I already told it was transparent with her. I said, you know what, I just can't give you a Christmas present that is really that that is after your birthday. I would rather just it's close to your birthday. So I'm gonna give you that as your birthday gift. So then I that wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. The concerts in May birthdays around her time. Yes, so you told her, I'm getting you the tickets. I'm just not going to hand them to you getting them.

I'm going to but I'm going to purchase them for her birthday. That's a birthday gift, because it's too nice to give for Christmas. No, just because it's more appropriate, because it will be She'll be in birthday mode. Then she's not gonna leave back and be like December. It's a great Christmas present if you buy them in December. And I'm not saying you're not gonna call the record label and ask for tickets. No, no, no no, no no no, I actually gonna buy you buying them. I know, right,

because we don't have connection. Janet's huge, Uh. If you buy the tickets now and you tell her you're buying them now. That seems weird that you're not going to give them her till her birthday. He brought them now, and she knows it. He already has them. She already knows she's going So whether you use it as a hanakah president, I keep saying, hannak I'm sorry, I'm josh uh. If you give them to as a Christmas present or a birthday present. Either way, she already knows she's getting them.

So you're saying just now, yeah, but then you have no surprise left. The problem with that is yes, now, now when her birthday comes, I'm gonna be empty handed. I'll be like remember back in December when I handed you your birthday gift. That's why I feel like I need to wait. I'm saying, give them to her now as a Christmas present unless you have something better for Christmas. That's Christmas Eve. Well, I WoT a few things for Christmas because I can tell you what to buy your girlfriend.

I always know what you really want. That Nope, nope, nope, nope. Now I know. Do you know that David follow her on Instagram? Your girlfriend is a vague posting him dropping uh passive aggressive instagrammer. Really so, so you've seen some things on her Instagram? Oh yeah, she makes comments about her friends having things that I know she wants really or she'll say, oh my friend got this lovely? Really,

stuff like that your favor. When we're done with this, can you share some of that with me, because you know, maybe i'll tap that that well, I mean that well of knowledge. I love giving presents rather than getting presents. In fact, the very generous you spent the whole data. Well, that's because takers may eat better, but givers sleep better. You believe the greatest. Don't gloss over that comment. Don't gloss over that comment. Takers may eat better, but givers

sleep better. So they're but you always eat better. I do both. I don't know how okay, speaking of you eating scary and I want to get back to the gift thing, but I like, I'll always like a good segue. I got this from j J Jesse Underscore. Who knows if that's her birth year or not. I'm probably it's not my business to say. She sent me a screenshot. It says high Brody. As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought of scary. I'll tell you what she said,

she thought you were doing. She would love the podcast. So it's a it's a it's an article, it's a fact. So I guess it's a fact. Instagram account fewer than one percent of men possessed the flexibility to perform oral sex on themselves to what she wrote. As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought of scary trying to ask his own date. So the odds you are in the one percent? Is that the one percent? Bernie sand is always talking about the one percent, you know, he's

always talking about It's really sad that this is. Uh. Yeah, I didn't realize the odds were stacked against me. Otherwise I would never have tried. That was embarrassing. Chance you're not gonna be able to do it? Yeah, I never tried again. Yeah, I know I'm not on top one flexible, So I'm not even gonna try. When I congrat when I can touch my toes, I'll even think about it. But at this point, you know I can't do it.

Can't do it. So back back to uh, to your your girlfriend, you know what together, you always do right by her. She's always very lucky to have your gift giver. I think I pulled another one out. Yes, uh, okay, you said the gift of giving is is the best gift of all right, you enjoy giving gifts. Well, my gift to you is to allow you to buy me a gift then a stake dinner. No that you owe me already. I think you should buy me something as

your co host and long time companion and friend. And this way you will feel that joy of giving me a gift. So if I if I bought you a stake, didn't though on Christmas, that doesn't Christmas present. No, you'd still owe me. I still owe you a steak. Yeah, yeah, if you bought you took me out to a steak dinner on Christmas. But I'm like, but I'm saying, no, this is the this is me owing you the steak dinner and I'm paying you back. Then I don't get

a Christmas present. I don't know, it's been a long time. I'm out around for Christmas, all right, but you know what, I'll be home for Christmas. Yeah, I'll also be home for New Year's Eve. Well not home home, but I'll be in town. You know, this is the year I'm going to that big New Year's Eve wedding. Oh no, this is not the wedding of the of the uh person out of nowhere that invited you to a wedding. No, no, this is not that. That is a different wedding. In fact,

uh that wedding. I don't know if I'm gonna be going to this wedding. Here is someone who I work with, and um, I'll be there, and you know my girlfriend and I think Garrett and his wife. And I have to tell you, this is my of all the holidays, yes, yeah, of all the holiday I was, I wasn't invited listeners, I wasn't invited. Of all the major holidays, I think the best one to have a wedding or to invite

people to a wedding is New Year's Eve. And here's why if I've recovered this, but I'll be very brief about it. What do you like to do New Year's Eve? You like to go out, You like to well, in general, you like I don't know. You like to eat, get dressed, food and eat and get your friends get dressed up. You have to dance a little to hang out. The

wedding has all of those components. So why wouldn't Why wouldn't I be so happy, and it relieves the stress and anxiety of finding something to do to for New Year's Eve, because every year I find myself in the same spot on December nine, mulling it over with my friends, back and forth. What are you guys getting into? I don't know what about? You should buy tickets to? This? Should be hanging out here? What do you want to?

And it always becomes a very stressful moment. So now my plans are made from me, thank thankfully, for the first time ever, and I'm gonna get to get dressed up and go out and eat and drink and dance a little bit. That sounds great because you hate holiday weddings overall, yes, but I do like this New Year's Eve wedding concept. I do. Alright, alright, very good. On a scale of one to ten, how well do I

know the person? About a three? About a three? So it's someone in sales, yes, because it's you and Garrett and Garrett. You and Garrett live on the sales floor. So I narrowed that down. Yeah, you don't really know this person. I don't know you when you know the name and you may have met her before. But oh, it's a horror. She knows who the hell I am? Though, Oh yeah, how do you famous? Dave used to be famous. I'll tell you who doesn't know me? Scary? Is someone

from Montana? Why? Well, because lately, and I'm sure everyone gets these, I've been getting random text messages from I guess trying to look like it's someone who knows me. So I got a text message from Montana this week that says high exclamation point, long time. No see how are you that's trapped? Don't text message from Louisiana, Hey man, lost my phone, just checking back in with everybody. Wanted to give you my new number. Texted me that you got this? Ye yep, you know I don't know anyone

in Montana. I don't know anyone personally in Louisiana. Yep, it's a scamboni. Yeah, yeah, it's this has been going around. I get this all the time. They'll be like, hi, you know we met here and you know it's been a while, and I'm like, no, I never First of all, I've never been there. Um right. I never answered them back because I think they're trying to test to see if it's a working phone number, So they're just poking around a little bit, right, because I want to write back,

go funk yourself, because they have your number. I don't know. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. I just ignore, ignore, ignore. I get that all the time. I got lots of them. I got them on What's App, I got him on my regularly. What's happen? It's all about bitcoin right now?

Bitcoin investing? Ah. Yeah, they take a picture of their bank account, like look how or the other newest one is they show pictures of themselves inside of a brand new Mercedes and they're like, I just bought this based on my my bitcoin earnings, asked me how I'll you know? And then they send you a link. You click on it and then you're fucked. Don't you can't they can't you write, don't do I who even believe that? At

this point? Um, well, are you following the news? Sam Bankman Freed got a few thousand people to invest and give him billions of dollars. So yeah, anything's possible. No, but he but he was. But this was a known entity, a person who was out there. I'm talking about the random blind scammer who is probably in Nigeria or something. And I say that because it happened to a prince,

the old the well emails from the Nigerian prince. Yeah, who wasn't I was talking to um oh oh this happened with oh and the only uses as a public service moment our friend Dina with the pink hair. Okay, if she's the one who does a lot of the makeup and the hair coloring and the cutting for a lot of the ladies and some of the guys on the morning show. And guess what, she's got a great business. And she also does fortune teller readings. She's she's amazing.

She's a medium and she does a lot Dina with the pink hair. But hold on, you were mediing? You were you were a medium since junior high school? Right, that's right, you askehole. Uh so this public service her name is spelled Dina with the pink hair altogether one word. That's d I n A not d E n a y. Right now, somebody manage to, like, you know, catfish or you know, steal her pictures and she's a this person is a massed two thousand followers as her as her.

But here's the thing. It's spelled Dina w I T T H like like right in the middle of the word. They're they're trying to hope that you don't see very well and that you're like and they've been they keep popping up, and they with new with new followers, and they keep they Finally, I believe got this person some It was brought to my attention by one of our slices. They're like, hey, scary, is this account legit? And at first I said, yes, that's her, and they're like, wait

a second. No. I went right back and I said, no, look at this. Upon further investigation, all the vowels in the middle are missing from her name, and that this person had They showed me the screenshot two thousand one followers. So I called Dina and I think they've put this to bed finally, and just she said that what the listener said that that Dina reached out and said, um, I hear I feel good things for your future. I

want to do a reading on you. And Dina said that this this line has worked on a lot of people because they know she's a medium. So what does she do? Uh? She? What do they do? They they send like and they click a link and they never get their money, and it just goes into nowhere and this abyss so so people have been scammed out of out of it. Now I believe they finally put this uh this email to bed, I mean this uh instagram uh handle to bed, So we don't have that anymore,

but just be cautious. Um. She did tell me that her friends scammed the scammers. So her friend said, I'm gonna click on this and they clicked it and they said, hey, what's up. You need a reading? Sure, all right, send me forty And the guy goes, okay, here's here, here's a link. Click on this link so I can get

you paid. And the people on the other end clicked on the link and it was it was the guy is as as a self made like I don't know, like a hacker or whatever, and and got the phone to make a call to this number and their caller I d was revealed and it was a call from Nigeria, so they got their phone number. It was great, Dina said. It was like the scan the scammer got scammed kind of thing. It was, but they didn't get arrested or anything. No, no,

what are you gonna do there in another country? Yeah, I guess be careful speaking of Dina. We'll take a break and then we'll talk about Dina. Let me get back to Dina when we get back. I got a great story. You're sure you have a good story. It's average. Oh my god, we're still playing. How did that happen? The scamment? Shut up, you're a debt. Leave my billion dollar equipment out of this. It's not pucked it up again. Before we started recording today. You know that, I know,

I know, I know. It's the Boy podcast. Do you remember jingle Ball? About five or six years ago, Elvis decided that it was cool to bring Dina on stage. So the whole Morning Show came up to introduce the next act. And because Dina was a big fan of this group, he didn't tell her. He just said, oh, we'll go up and we'll introduce this band, meaning he and the members of the Morning Show. You can come

up on stage with us. So he says he's he Elvis talks to the crowd and he says, Dina, tell everyone who's coming up on stage next, or something like that. And she was so nervous. She didn't know she was going to do it, and so she's like, she didn't know what to say. So she went chain Smokers because she was like, and so forever when I see her, she's like chain Smokers, Like it's become a joke with us, right, So that reminded me of a video my daughter showed

me that it is hilarious. Now there are YouTube videos that make fun of bands or artists that every song sounds the same. So it's like, how to play every Charlie Pooth song. I'm just using Hi an example. I don't if there is one, but there's a lot of different groups. So one of them guys go on YouTube and look up how every chain Smoker's song is written. So I'm gonna play it's the clip of it. This guy explains it, and it's hilarious. Hold on, see if I can pull up the sound. Here we go, hold on,

here we go. Alright, So basically, you pick three chords. One that's going to be your base manico one step down so the major one steptown major. Your chorus is literally just gonna be this just walking up and down. Okay, let me get to the next part. Hold on a second. When he talks about sit by the by your parents house, drinking problems the way, Yeah, it sounds like it sounds

like Charlie. No, it's just some guy. And so what he does is he plays the like three chords that do sound very similar to a lot of Chain Smoker songs and then says, just can you pick an object, a girl, love or a place. So he's like Toledo, you know, or whatever, and and he just rambles about that and it sounds like a pop song. It's unbelievable. So check out how every Chain Smoker song is written. And then like, do other bands that you like? And

how is every other and it's anyway hilarious. Have we ever talked about speaking of following handles, We talked about Carton Arcs on this podcast, card Sharks, cart Narks, cart n Arks. Yeah, although all those people who yell at you're not putting your cart back in grocery. So there's a guy, and I believe he is on the Woody Show, if I'm not mistaken. That's a morning show in the West Coast. Yes, the West Coast morning show syndicated around

the country. By the way, they're looking for an executive morning show producer. There I know a guy who applied. Not so so the Carton Arcs account was started by that person. Now I fear for this guy's life because he will go with the camera in their face and go into the parking lot and go up to them and and and confront them for not not parking the cart in the back of the in the car rap the shopping cart rack. And I don't know, it's some

some of these get very very dicey. I mean he'll go after guys twice his size in like a four D F one fifty. I'm like, you really want to be fuking with this guy right now. But by the way, is it possible that a a small, whimpy like accounting type nerdy no offense accountants, uh, could drive an F one fifty or if you're in an F one fifty you're obviously like big and strong that I just don't see it. But yeah, I'm sure they're there a couple. But yeah, so if you could imagine he could I mean,

you want to add a dangerous account to sustain. I mean he's got to go out on film new videos. And he's not just picking on like Grandma's you know who didn't leave the car, but like he will literally get in front of their car. I mean, there's so many awful things how this could end for this guy. But he's just OpenD to work at the place. Does he have like no, no, he says he's from carton Arcs because they asked him, They're like, do you work here?

Do you work at this Walmartineau. I'm with the carton Arks, sir, and like he has like a whole persona and he goes and he's you know, he's kind of giving the third degree. Why did you not put the cart back where it belonged? Why didn't you just leave it here in the middle where other cars could smash into it? Like, I mean, I understand that the good deed he's doing, and we all agree that that's a good service. But if someone's having a bad day anyway, follow it cart

Narks at cart and a r CS on Instagram. You'll see what we're talking about. I I, you know what, I've always wanted to be a cart and arc. If if I could find a way not to get beat up like you know me, I would be a good cart kN arc. But today I was in Cole's doing a little last minute of vacation shop and get a couple of T shirts expect great things. Yeah, and the line wasn't crazy. So I'm in the men's department because you know that's where shop being, you know, being a man,

I war shop and you're a man. And Nope, I'm not manly enough for an F one fifty I have. I'm manly enough for a Dodge charger. That says I'm going to drive quickly away from the guy in the one wants to beat my ass. That's what my car says. So microphone is extremely loud. Oh I I lean I lean forward for a second. Sorry slices. So this guy is got some clothing in his hand and he's looking at a shirt and he takes the hangar out of the shirt so he can look at the shirt better.

Wants to hold it up to himself, and he drops the hangar on the floor. I'm like two ft away. I hear the clank. I turned, I see him dropped the hangar. And what does he do. He steps over the hangar and keeps walking. So I said, excuse me, sir, if you know this, you dropped your hangar. He looks at me and goes not in and it walks away. Now that's almost that is Carton nark ish because you're confronting somebody who clearly knew they did something wrong. I

was a hanger. I was a hangar banger. I banged him for dropping the hangar hang up my hanger on? Was I hanger on? Hang and bang it? Yeah? Oh my god. Anyway, So yeah, I don't I don't like when people make it harder for people in retail, especially this time. He picked the damn hanger up. Uh yeah, so there's that. Hey, I saw on Facebook. Um, you know how I always sell things on Facebook. I had a problem with someone I was selling something to on Facebook.

But I saw something. It was only ten dollars. Scary, now would you buy this? It was? It said ten dollars, but then it said, uh, free free clean dirt, free clean dirt, free clean dirt. What the hell is it? Dirt for planting things like? It doesn't say it just says come get it. Now. They have to put a price, because Facebook makes you put a price. They wrote ten dollars, but then they wrote it's free clean dirt. I mean, I don't think that that is if I'm clean by definition,

it's because there's no chemicals in it. It hasn't been poisoned by not doesn't say chemical free dirt, doesn't it doesn't. It just says free clean dirt. Well, sometimes there's rocks and pebbles in it. I don't know, there's debris. Some dirt is dirty. Is dirty dirt? And clean dirt? Really does clean dirt? Yeah, I guess there is. I mean it's clean, it's pure. I feel like maybe it's right for planting something and getting a good result. I don't know.

I'm assuming that's what clean dirt is. You take things very literally. I know how your mind works, right, but it's clean dirt and it doesn't work for me. I don't know. Okay, So back to Facebook. I sell it. I sold a piece of furniture. Okay, it was it's it was about the size of it, let's say a coffee table. Okay, Uh, maybe maybe it was. By the way, the measurements for what I sold were in the listing. I listed it high depth, with thickness everything of this

piece of front. Did I even measure your penis too? No muck And I don't need to cry, so I said, She says, I wanted. I'm I'm gonna my husband's gonna come get it. Fantastic. Now she has the measurements, she writes, she writes me a note and direct message and says, um, will it fit in my car? So I right back, I have no idea. I don't know what kind of car you have. She says, I'm sorry, will it fit in my Subaru? Hatchback? Once again, nobody knows your car

like you. So why would you Why would she even ask you that question? Okay, because I've told a similar story in the past, So I say, I say to her, I have no idea. I don't know how big your trunk space is. That should have been the end of the conversation, right, she says, So she says, it's fairly wide. What do you think? So? So I said, again, I don't know what year the car is. I don't know how big the car is. It's your car. You know what size it is. You have the directions? Do you

have the means to the furniture? She writes back, Okay, what if I put the seats down? Oh my god? So I said again, it's your car. I mean, how hard is it to just take a tape measurer? What you can do? I said, you know you could do? You could measure your trunk space, or you could go online and look up the measurements of the width of your storage area of your car. I don't even I don't know any about your car. She's like, oh, I thought you might know. Thanks anyway, like annoyed with me? Anyway,

she she bought it. The guy picked it up and it fit fine, which like, well, what have I put the seats down? You know, don't sell stuff on Facebook. I know, Hey, um, you know there's an alarming trend on TikTok. I wanted to get your opinion on. You're gonna segue to to a slumman's alarm, and it's very funny. This is hysterical and I've seen this before and a lot of our slices might have seen it. It's where it's the next episode of my kids are misbehaving? How

am I gonna? How am I gonna funk with them? For the holidays. So there's a trend where people are getting people in their family to literally dress up like the Grinch in a Santa outfit. The Grinch green full on green with the Santa suit in the hat, and while the kids are least expecting it, the Grinch comes bolting through the front door, goes right for the Christmas tree and starts grabbing Christmas presents and runs out with them.

There's a lot of alarming videos where some of them where the kids like they all start screaming in terror, and a couple of them where the kids fight back. They're literally trying to beat the ship out of the Grinch and grab the Kimmel bit has does Jimmy Kimmel do this? He does. The thing was I threw your I threw your candy away? You know your howween candy? No, this is an actual trend on TikTok, and I don't know. I don't know whether the laugh to laugh or are

you traumatized for life. I also raised this with my friend's share on my other podcast. Um, she's a mom, so she's got an interesting perspective, but you're from the school of hard knocks, so you may see it differently. For me, I think it's hilarious because I don't have kids, and I'm like, yeah, well if if, if, the kids deserve it, and this is how they're gonna be disciplined, so what. However, the other part of me says, you could be emotionally scarring your kid for life. You have

to see. There's a couple of these that went really viral, millions of views with the specifically the one where the kids, like the one kid fights back and I'm trying to beat the ship out of the gridge, and the gridge is like trying to push the kid away and trying to get away with the presidents and leave. But they were the screaming, bloody murder these kids. And I kind of then then that one. I felt bad you know the other ones, but I don't know thought you know

what I mean. I'm gonna watch it now. Hold on, I'm gonnau up the video. I'm actually you know what I think. Hold on, I gotta watch the ad first. Um. I think it's funny when it's other people, but I think if you do it to your kids, you're choosing the joke over there mental well being. I could listen. It's it's right possible. The kid gets over in fifteen minutes. But you know, there's that one kid who decides to, you know, become a crazy person and do horrible things

as an adult because he was traumatized. He or she By the way, honey, you're trying to watch it on your computer. Is fucking with your sound and it's you're clicking in and out? Is it? Try and watch it on I want to watch it, watch it on your phone. But anyway, So, but but how is is that? So that's a little different than than you know, people when they take presents, fake presents, and they put like tissue paper inside the box and then they wrap it up

and they put it under the tree. And when the kid is bad, they're like, all right, if you're bad, the present is going in the fireplace. And they literally take a present, they chuck it into the fire. That is that anymore or less? What are they? What's the uh, there's the heartless Yeah, the emotional damage. You've seen that before. I guess it depends how old the kid is. If a kid's fourteen and he's a brat, then maybe I wouldn't do it to a seven year old. See, this

is a Christian thing. This is a Christian thing. And I always say that because Jews would never do that. We would never waste wrapping paper, but a tail as old as time. They would put coal in your stocking if you're bad. That's part of like a lot of these stories take the good they don't take the thing that was in your stockings and throw it in the

fireplace and put coal in there. But they're not going to get the kid, and the kid gets cold for for Christmas and then all hell breaks loses anybody ever again. But I did your parents ever go through with it? Isn't my question to the slice of mine didn't. Well, obviously, but obviously I wonder if anyone actually they went through. The parents went through, they put coal in their stocking. I don't know how or would you do this to your kid like I wonder slices would you do this

to your kids? Either throw the presents in the uh, you know what? I think it would be best rather than email us or anything, leave us to talk back on my Heart. Um. Now, is somebody d m me this week. I'm not gonna give his name out, but he said, I love you guys, but I don't have I heart And so he told me what he wanted to say. So I said, well, just download the app.

It's free. So if you want to use the talkback feature on on the I Heart radio app and you're listening to this podcast sometime near the end of December, Well, first week in January, leave leave us a voicemail and tell us if you know a talk back, if you would do this to your kids, or how you would have felt as a kid if it happened to you. And if you don't want to do that, UM two on eight FU A seventy seven is our voicemail. You can leave it there if you don't know if I

heart right? All right? Good and now and finally, the elf on the shelf bit, I mean, that's kind of a like beginning beginning to discipline the kid, right, I me, because now it's like this guy is watching you. He's in a different position every night. So that is that maybe that's the solution. Uh slices. If you're listening with your wonderful children right now, you might want to uh consider you know, pausing while we discuss you know, the

elf on the shelf and other things. Um, but you know the elf on the shelf, he moves around, he's always watching you, which is a little kind of a little creepy ask me or the men on a bench from my form, my peeps for trying. You see, Snoop Dogg came out with one snoop Snoop on a stoop and he's smoking a j Really, I don't know about that, not not in my house, but maybe you know it's funny. Yeah,

but anyway, it's adult candy he's smoking. But anyway, Yeah, so we don't have to go into detail about it. But I'm just saying that could be a thing, right, Yeah, Well if if you say, you know what, you take the elf on the shelf and you he doesn't show up one day, you tell the kids it's because you're bad and he hates you. He's never coming back because he saw what you did. That could be traumatizing too. Yeah, he told me you know what you say, you know you say to kids the elfha on the shelf told

me he's not coming back to you. Confess to me what you did. Maybe they confess like something you don't even know they did, like you know the kids, like i'd ask my d scary. Uh. I want to tell you a story about my kids because the apple don't fall fall from the tree kind of thing. But but if you have anything else you want to get off, I want to end on on the story if you don't mind. No, we have a couple of things. Um no, I just uh, I will give you a quick one.

But this is the Yeah, okay, continue, all right, go for it. Well to arrest. I want one more, one more, one more little thing that I wanted to throw in there. Actually, well, let me give me this throwing your little thing and I'll I'll tell what happened to I'll throwing my little thing. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I hear you one percent? Can you know? That's why? Um, to many little things. I'm getting less and less Christmas cards than I have

in years passed. I think people have given up on this. Um. I used to get a ton, but I got to. Yeah, I got about four. We usually I get about so I don't know. I usually get about a good dozen too. Yeah, not even digital ones. I got to. One of them was from Garrett. Thank you Garrett. By the way, your family is lovely. Um. I I got my first digital one in the in my emailmail email. Yeah, I was like interesting from a Nigerian prince. Was my friends Kristen

and Joe. They're awesome. They something like is it better to just get a digital one than not get a card at all? And then even if you don't get a card, are you really upset? Like I can name about five to ten families I know right now, um, off the top of my head that have given me cards in the past, and then suddenly I don't get them anymore. Have I fallen out of good graces with them?

Or like what do you you know? Hell? Yeah, hello, yeah, there's billion dollar equipment just shipped the bed tuning in tune in Tokyo. No, we're still here. I didn't hear a word you said for the last thirty seconds. No, it was probably for the best. Uh No. I was just saying I got my first digital card just to bring I said, from a Nigerian prince, and then you went dead no, And I said no from Christ, my friends Kristen and Joe. So is it better to have

gotten a digital card than no card at all? Are? They are? Digital cards just passe? Like the gone the way of the evite where we used to tell you people if they're coming to your party on you know, online, Well, I'll tell you it depends on what kind of person you are. So there's people in my family, people I know, friends of you know, Peeling I'm friends with. They will put the cards up, they'll take them to the wall, they'll put them on the mantel. They'll have all the

cards out until mid January. I ain't got time for that, right, even as like cousins and nephews and it's like it's everybody, and for me, I like to keep the cards like I have Garrett's card out right on the on the on one of the end tables because it's only one of the two two cards I got. So I put two cards out. But if you get but then you don't know when to throw them out or what to do with them because you're like, oh, I feel bit throwing the card out, But eventually you do, right, eventually

you do. And so I think with an e picture, the person gets to brag about their family, they save a little money, and you never have to throw it out because you can just put it in a folder. Right, You can take all the holiday cards you get and put them all on a folder in your email if you never look at them again. This way, mentally you didn't throw them out, you didn't delete, and you have to look at them again. I saw a meme that

said I'm not sending out Christmas cards this year. If you care, go to my Instagram find your favorite picture of me printed Merry Christmas. Yeah, it got to the point with me having three kids, were like, eventually nobody cares about your teenage kids. But you know what, the college age kids, we're gonna talk about a bygone error, a bygone era, like back Christmas cards and the whole family thing and the portraits and the pictures. They were invented in a time before of the internets. So yeah,

so now you're the year in Christmas car. Now now you're keeping up. We're all keeping up with each other. You know, I know, you know, I know what what you had for dinner last night. I know, I know everything. So it's not like, oh little Timmy got lost another tooth this week. You know, in November I found out on Facebook. Yeah I saw on Facebook, also the Internet everywhere, social media everywhere. I saw it. But that was back

in the day. We're like, you didn't know anything. You didn't see your family in Minnesota, and you're like, oh, the Minnesota winging the family, what what are they up to? Now? You never really cared. But people saying the letter anyway, it was such a bragg It was a humble brag.

Humble I had to tell you. But you know, Maria got into Harvard, and you know, because if anything shitty happened, like if Marie didn't get into Harvard and you got into some shitty college near her, you wouldn't put that in the letter. So it's all a bragg humble brod, right, that's and that's what social media is. I don't need to know about your family. There's not anyone in my family. First cousins, second cousins. They're cute kids. There is no

I don't have any siblings. So maybe with siblings, but you're pretty close to your siblings. You live in the relative area. There's no one in my family that I want to let it from or an update that I don't already know what care, So then you care, I'll call you. So if if if if Christmas and holiday cards went away forever, it wouldn't be offended. Well as a Jew, no, No, I like a guy. I like like a good I like you know what, I like a good holiday card from somebody that says, you know what,

this person is going to stay on my list. You know who I love getting holiday cards from, and I haven't gotten a card from it. If he's lazy, here's this I'm very disappointed. Remember our old buddy Elliott. Yes, Elliott used to be the co host of our morning show is Elvis and Elliott at the time. And then when Elliott got his own show in Washington in d C. I went and worked with him one week a month and Elvis three weeks a month. I love Elliott. Elliott

is how I got into radio. He returned my phone call. And Elliott is a well off man. He's done well in radio. And he sends the for me the nicest holiday cards, like high quality, almost like cardboard, beautiful of his two boys who were hockey players, his two dogs, his beautiful dogs. And I mean, I know, I know his wife Jackie, and and you know, I mean, and

I look forward to it, and I have. I have only seen Elliott, I would say, since I stopped working for him, which was a long time ago, a long time ago, I've only seen him in person two or three times. But I love the guy. The fact that he remembers me and sends me a card every year. That's important. Did he send you a card? Car you get the card from him every year? Did you get one? Did you get your card? I did not get a card yet. This is awkward. This is very awkward. I'm

not I'm not even kidding. I got it. I know his dog's names, Deuce and Powell. I think one of them is kid. No, are you sure? It's cook? The card Colon and Powell? Right, No, his kid isn't Colin Powell. His kids aren't Colin Powell. But he has a kid named Colin. No, he doesn't Colin. He's got Colin and Powell. I don't think. I don't think that's the case. It was those Deuce and Baxter. But those dogs do and Baxter the Morning show from Cincinnati. Yeah, no, I think

his dogs were. I gotta look that up now. I can't even look at the new card. I don't have it. Yeah, I kind of feel bad telling you that nice is the card. It's just like it always is. It's got the it's got the kids on it. They're all growns up. Now. I was like, whoa, look at you. That one is in college, and what the fun did you do to fall off his Christmas list? I don't know. In fact, we had had a great conversation and when he came to New York he was shouting me out on on

this on his morning show. Because I was listening on the way home, because we would get off our show at like nine forty and he would stay until ten thirty and I would listen to this last fifteen minutes, and so he would be like, oh, I got a new listener. Hey Brodie. He shouted me at a couple of times. I don't know what to say, and then I called him. He's like, oh, I'll be up in Manhattan. We'll get a drink my tree. It was a great

your treat fantastic. Yeah, I'm sorry, buddy. Um, that's not a bit that No, it's not a bit, and it's one of the It is one of the few cards that I did get, so I will cherish it forever. Well, then double thank you to the Garrett family because huh, I guess it's out of sight, out of mind? Did we get do we get from the Tindorfs? The Greg t Fami, I didn't know him out. I guess I'm out from the Tindorfs too. Jersey Kid, I didn't get one from the Jersey Kid this year, so I don't think.

I think more and more people are not sending cards out anyway. That was the more story. Anyway, you really did get it. Yeah, I'm sorry. Oh now I feel bad for telling you. I mean was I'm not gonna hold it from you. Wow. All right yeah, okay, well all right, so let me let me round this thing up with telling you a story about my still another we still another commercial to plug. Yeah, I'm saying'm gonna wrap it up with a story about my kids. It's all okay, go for it. We're still and we're still

have more after this, but not yet. Oh good, but continue hit the button? Oh you you want to hit the button now? You never button. You never beg for commercials. All right, I'm not begging for commercials. I'm not. I'm gonna give it. I have, I have a I have a conversation starter I have. I wanted to do a shout out to William land on the on Instagram who who sent me a picture of him wearing the the Steakhouse, uh, the Steak meet and greet to meet up shirt that

we made. He said, I've been listening from the very beginning episode zero. I've gone through every episode in the order. Several times I couldn't make it to the meet up, but I had to get the shirt. Keep up the great work. I look forward to many more years of episode. So I wanted to shout that out and uh, let's see. Oh somebody called me out. But it's a fail. So I said, U episode that um you could win free gas was was not correct? Okay, So then this is

Stevie Steady Hands. Mr Irving something on on Twitter. Stevie Steady Hands. He said, maybe someone said this already, figuring he was one of many. But you can't argue against the free gas billboard when you were apart by the way, Stevie used the wrong apart. You put apart his one word. You were a part of the free money phone tap for years. Now. I don't see how that's that's it got you. We didn't say it was the free win free money phone tap. It was the phone tap we

gave you free money, which was my point. Yes, we didn't say you can you can win the win free money phone tap or win free money phone tap. So you did not get me, all right, Stevie Steady Hands. I am undefeated. Oh yeah, this is the stuff that drives me crazy. I banged my head against the wall. I'm like, does it really matter at the end of the day. But okay, I'll tell you what. I'm right, it doesn't matter. Tom's commonly not happy with you. What

what Thomas? What North Jersey? Yeah? Tom? The uh? The The subject line is fucking ship pizza, Hey, bro Brooklyn boys pizza scary and Brodie? Yes, it's scary first, because Brodie, you should be ashamed of yourself. How could you eat at fucking Dominoes? I would starve before I ate that ship? Scary? You need to write a jingle. Scary. Don't know Brodie's getting full at the Dominoes. Oh, scary, don't know. Brodie's getting full at the Dominoes eating something unholy? What song

is that? Unholy? By Sam Smith and Kim Petris. Yeah, I don't know that song? Wait? What was that? Is that a song that can out in the last six months since I'm in radio. Yes, well that's why I don't know it. That'll listen to pop radio anymore. You don't know the Holy by Sam If No, I don't listen to Sam Smith and don't listen to It's the nut very much. It's like the number one song right now in America. Oh my god, you know what I'm into right now? What ghost? And nothing more? That's what

I'm listening to. What the hell is that still Ways? You don't know what's spill Ways by Ghost? Wow sing on Holy for me? How does it go? Mommy don't know? Daddy is getting hot at the botty shop doing something. Holy Daddy, Daddy, if you want to pop in Daddy. It's about a guy and going to a strip club and getting down with the girls, or guys. Kim Petris with the girls. He's a yeah, so he's Kim Petris is now woman. Yes, this is what I listened to.

Hold on commutely fast forward because we don't get in trouble. Okay, by the Way always by Ghost, that's my music. Yeah that that might as well be a bon Jovie song from Sorry Not Sorry. There I said it. That's okay. I love bon Jovie. So if I hear a band that has that is a new sound, that sounds like music I like I'm living in. But that's not a new sound. It's a very old sound. Yeah, but play that again, riff again. I think that was playing music on the part that was Runaway by the Way. Runaway.

You know, no one, no one in the band was on that album was on that song. It was just John, Yeah, just John and some hired musicians. I believe the bass player is now in the band, but he wasn't at the time. They don't tweet, but anyway, he recorded it with session musicians. Oh, how the mighty have fallen? You are? I don't will aware of Sam Smith's Unholy dude. I left it all behind, my friend. That's it. I'm done. I'm not I need I need to take a minute.

I need to take a minute because I don't know. I'm just beside myself right now. Sorry. Alright, cool. So basically, I know you. I know you. You're working hard, playing pop songs and going to jingle balls. I get it. I'm listening to Howard alright, okay, listening to rock music. Fair enough, I listen. I love the station where I worked, I love the people. I like the music. Don't get me wrong. If I put on if I put on a pop radius, if I put one one hundred, I

enjoy it. But it's not my first choice. That and so we heard pop music at work every morning, so I would learn the music. If I had to write a parody, I learned the song. By the way, you're screaming into your microphone again. I'm sorry. I will tell you. Uh, my daughter is into nineties Rocks. So we were listening to Good Charlotte and uh Bowling for Soup in the car a couple of days ago. Yeah, that's like early two thousands. Yeah, early two thousands. And Jarrett, Jarrett the

lead singer, good guy. Remember when he did that song for me for us on the morning so, uh, the Yankee song about the curse of the Red Sox. So he did, uh We'll Keep the Curse Alive to Uh. Wow, you know, man, I just thought of something. You're enjoying these songs that you enjoyed five years ago with your daughter. Now, if you think about it, some of them you became friends with some of these musicians. Maybe you could be the hero dad and be like, hey, you know the

guy who sings that song. I could text him right now, let's let's face time. I could do that. But you know what, my daughter has already met Jared from Bowling for Sue because it took a ginger bowl every year, so she met him, uh late two thousand's. My kids have met everybody. I mean, whether they appreciate it or worshiped me for it. No, but they appreciated at the time they've met everybody, there's rare. There's rarely anyone they've

wanted to meet that they have not met. I think the biggest one for them had to be Taylor Swift. Uh they've met her three or four times. Yeah, but it depends on the on the mood in the day, in the week. You know. Listen, Um, I've met Taylor like I think eight times, nine times. If I didn't added it up, I still can't get tickets. Taylor Swift sat at my desk and used my desk as a

dressing room when she was performing at night. Once at she I had pictures are standing at my desk getting undressed like a green room, like a dressing room, green room. So she and her mom and her manager were in our the morning show offices and I took a picture of her pointing to a picture of Horror with my kids. A cool Yeah. Maybe I'll post it on Instagram on these days. Maybe she'll do it. Maybe she'll do a cover of Holy by Sam Smith and you'll get to

know that song. Finally, well, Taylor Swift did a cover of um uh what SAIDs Romeos? And that was that song the Romeo song. I had her do the story love Story right. I had to do a parody of love Story about Romeo who used to do nights at one and his interactive nine at nine when I have video of her singing my song about that? How about that? I had the Backstreet Boys sing a parody for me. I have a lot of artists to parodies for me. I've had a good time, They've got a good, good resume,

good time, it's done. Some things you've done. So yeah, so my parents might my parents, my kids have met, uh the lead singer bowling for Sue. So today you go when I to have a story about them, So don't forget. I'm gonna okay, okay. So, um, my middle daughter is home from college and my oldest daughter was in town hanging around and they were like, oh, let's go for lunch. Okay, they're gonna go for lunch. So because their home, they're like, oh, dad, why don't you

you take us to the restaurant. I was like, oh, um, yeah, sure, no problem. Now, one of my daughter's drives, but my youngest daughter drives and they share the car. So my middle daughter didn't have a car. So it's like, oh, I'll take it to the restaurants. They wanted to go to a place called bear Burger. Now love five guys Burgers, love bar Burger. Yes, have you heard of five guys Burgers. Of course you've heard a habit, Burger, smashed Burger, all

those places. Are go up to Burger King, you walk up to the counter, you place an order, you go sit down, right Bearger. Doesn't that shut up? Scary? So I thought, I thought, I thought, you know what, I'll treat the kids to uh lunch, and you know I'm not gonna eat lunch with them. They were like, well, dad, can you keep busy in the town and go shopping or whatever, and then we'll let you know when we're done. So yeah, sure, no problem, I'll come in. I'll pay

for it. So we go in and it's waiter service. Yeah, it's like it's fancy, it's schan there's nothing it's fancy about bar Burger. Let's face, let's face you're still sitting wooden chairs and like yeah, but basically, like Johnny Rockets, we have to sit down and it's casual. It's like a diner like a restaurant, right right, right, So I said well, I'm not gonna pay for the meal. So my daughter said, we'll just give us your credit card and we'll give it back to you later. I said, oh,

hell no, not giving you my credit card? Why not? Okay, scary? You don't have kids. Are they gonna feel it? Are they gonna what are they gonna do? Well, let me finish. First of all, I need the credit card because I'm going shopping while they were having lunch. I don't walk around multiple credit cards. I have a debit card, that's my I'm not giving it to them, so I said to the waiter. So I said, you know what, let me I got an idea. Hold on a second, I walk away and I look at my wallet. I have

twenty five dollar Visa gift card. Now again, five guys Burgers had a Burger smash Burger lunch for two kids for two teenage well roughly teenagers should be like, you know, twenty bucks bucks. So I go, I said to my middle daughter, I said, he has a Visa gift car. Use that and then if there's any change, keep it Like I'm a big shot. She says to me, are you kidding? Are you serious? So I figure she's like questioning my generosity. So I said, well, no, I'm serious.

Take it. She said, Dad, the French fries at twelve dollars here, what are you talking about? What she's the lunch is gonna be much more than twenty five mm hm oh. So I look at the menu and I go, oh, okay. So I walk up to the waiter. I said, look those kids, those two young ladies over there are my kids doing me a favor. It's a little I know it's a little uh strange, but can you go take their order whatever they want? And then I ring them up immediately and I'll pay the check and I'm gonna leave.

He's okay. So he goes over and he says, your dad's paying for it. Let me take your order. Do you order whatever they want? Hands me the check? How much thing to check? Was scary for? For who? For how many kids? Yeah? One dollars? How much? It was seventy? It was seventy for the two of them to have lunch at a Hamburger place. Yeah, but it's not just it's not just. It's not just a Hamburger place. It's burger Barburger has because you leave baar of money when

you get out of there. So I give the guy. I give the guy at fifteen bucks tip, whatever it was. Whatever you've become, you become your father has become his father officially, No, I have not. Well, my father would have killed me. So I look at the check. My middle daughter ordered a thirteen dollar Carmel milkshake, and my older daughter, who was of age, ordered the Moscow mule.

And my middle doughter says to me, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're gonna go. We're gonna go shopping at such and such store around

the corner. I said, yeah, just we'll hand over that gift calling she's because now my daughter and I got into a fight last week and she was still a little annoyed with me, She says, consider it reparations for you making me upset last week. It all will be forgiven. Give me a gift card. Oh wow, she got her free dessert on you. So my daughter got free dessert from our argument. Cost me bucks. So a hundred and ten dollars On your way out the door to go to lun On your way out the door, did she
