#241: Why Didn't You Invite Me?

eleven fifty pm. Do you'll leave, and then when it gets here at twelve with you too. We'll be like, dude, I lose pizza year ago. Yeah, gotta yeah. Yeah, and the middle joke, Oh my god, I'm still writing last year's day on my checks? Yeah, who checks? Some people do? Hey, Happy New Year, David Brodie. Oh hey, I've been waiting today's January five. Thanks, you know, thanks, you're gonna get into that conversation. Well, I wish you a happy new year. It's it's okay for us to see happy new Year

here on January five. Let's just sell it right here, because it's the first time. It's the first episode of the season this year, and I get that, all right, And we haven't spoken to each other met very much. So well, I texted you three days ago on the second and Happy New Year, and you you didn't respond to that. Well, Brodie, if you were in front of me on New Year's Eve, I would give you my second kiss if you invited me on New Year's even.

But I was away. I was. I will talk about where I was, Like, I was doing something completely unconventional on New Year's Eve, which we'll talk about as well, which is very unscary, Like if everyone was like, what, Yeah, I went to a I went to a wedding. Yeah, well, well we talked about that, didn't we. Like you said, it was a perfect situation. I actually came around on it, uh in the last episode and yeah, I gotta say, checked all the boxes just like I predicted. It was

awesome except for one thing. Oh well, you'll tell you one. Tell me now, I guess if you if this is the direction we're going, check my calendar. I'm available. You're available, Brodie, I'm available now. Good. Well, on New Year's Eve, my girlfriend got very we both had a moment because it was like that time when everyone was on the dance floor with the with the champagne in hand, hats and noisemakers.

It was nice because the wedding actually turned into this hybrid of hey, let's acknowledge the New Year's Eve moment. So all the big screens, you know, the screens rolled down. They threw the TV on, like with ten minutes to go, passing out champagne, noisemakers. I'm like, wow, here we are a wedding and we've paused the wedding to celebrate New Year's Eve. What you know, I'm a big New Year's

Eve guy. New Year's Eve. Yeah. So the fact that there were noisemakers and hats and everything, it was all so awesome at this wedding. Again, this is withinside of a wedding at a wedding hall, and they're three hundred people on the dance floor and now it's New Year's Eve moments right, And then I'm like they got the wrong channel on. And I'm like I'm telling my girlfriend, I can't take it they got the wrong channel on because to me, the only thing to watch on New

Year's Eve is ABC. Yeah, but Clarks Rocket Eve with Ryan Seacrest. And here's why, because they know, because they have they've got the front seat to Times Square the time they've got the ball dropped, they've got the official Just like on Thanksgiving, as we've talked about on this podcast, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade should only be viewed on NBC.

Everyone else is either is either a fucking a bootleg show which is on a hotel on Fifth ave in you with your cameras out the window because they don't have the rights, and they don't they just say the Thanksgiving Day Parade. They don't say Amaze's same thing on New Year's Eve. It belongs to ABC. They fucking owen the night and you shouldn't watch that. But daily NBC have, uh, I mean everyone shows the ball dropping every Let me tell you what NBC did. NBC had Miley Cyrus and

Dolly Parton. It was the Dolly and Miley Show, so they were in they were somewhere else. I don't even know where the funk they were. I don't know. Miley was with Pete Davidson last year or somewhere ye this year's side of Miami. So the TV comes on, all the TV's come on, like I'm breaking onto cold sweats Mr. New Year's Eve himself. I'm like, I gotta say something to somebody. This can't be. They can't be showing three people this NBC feed. What the fuck? So I went

over to like the people in the back. I'm like, that's someone else's wedding, and I'm like, hey, guys, um, just so you know, you guys said on the microphone earlier that we're gonna go live to Times Square, lots of Times Square. NBC is showing something from Nashville with Miley Cyrus and Dolly. I'm like, you're not gonna get Times Square. That's only ABC, only ABC? Can you can you? You guys, like, you know, just change it all? Didn't. All it needed was somebody to take the remote and

be like, oh cool. It wasn't anybody in the wedding I was complaining to. I was somebody was one of the background staff of the cater hall, and I'm like, can you get that done? And they're like, yeah, sure, we'll do it. Nope, two minutes to go still NBC one minute yeah, But then they all yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea, I will take care of Yeah, they did they fucking brushed me under the ruck. They're like, you're not the groom, You're you're not the you're not paying the fucking bill.

Fuck you. And I'm like, you said my brothers the groom or my my younger brother or whatever. I didn't listen. I didn't say anything to the to the family, the bride and groom because they were having their special night, because hey, hey, before you cut the cake, can you please chat? I want to fucking ABC Nope. So, but but again it's worse. Then we're looking. I'm like, wait a second, this fucking feed on NBC is a full minute behind. It's like forty seconds. Was it a DVR?

Like I think it was the plan a webcast. I think they were playing a webcast of it. And it was like, so I'm looking and everyone people are noticing, not just me and Robin. Well, like it's eleven, but the clocks is oh my god, my iPhone just hit twelve o'clock and I'm like, it's already New Years. It's already New Year's Day, it's already Happy New Year. I'm like, why is that forty five seconds left? And then like and I'm like and I'm like Oh, this is terrible,

and Robin was fucking flyber Gas. This is ruined. This is so anticlimactic now because if New Year has happened, is happening now, and we'll have to be silent sitting there for another fucking forty seconds, not to know if NBC was late or I'm thinking it was a webcast as you just said, it wasn't a true feed. But ABC goes live without a net for this reason. It's live line life and it's right there and the ball is falling and everything you need. That's a live moment.

There's no I get it. You watch football, you watch concerts, you watch something on TV and maybe lagging behind, like on DVR. When you have a DVR, it's always like twenty seconds behind. It's fine because it has to write to the hard drive then come to the TV. That's how you can pause live TV. And even even sports sports. You know someone hits a home run, it's live enough.

It's live enough. The only thing is you can't can't be on the phone with your buddy, like watching the game together, because because then they're going, oh my god, home wrong. You're like, what, it hasn't happened yet? Yes, but on New Year's Eve, that is the only time where you need a live, live moment because you're counting down seconds and you can't fool people's digital phones, which are hardwired to have exact time unless you don't watch them,

unless you don't look at your phone. You're all like you're in on it, in on a few of us that have our phones out, what the fun? It's midnight. So then it was like one happy New Year and it was, and Robin and I looked at each other like, well that sucked because it was. It was anti climactic. It was it was a year. We we rang in the New Year a minute late, and it pissed me off. I didn't get my ABC and I got some webcast

from NBC and nobody listened to me. And I'm so first of all, props to you, by the way, because twice now in the same rant you said anti climactic, which is correct. Well what else people say? A lot of people say anti climatic, which is anti climate, which is not the same thing you put in the sea. You said climactic. Oh my god, you have a case of the anti climatics. You better go see a doctor. No, you did yeah, you did well there, Scar, I'm very impressed.

I know it's anti climactic. So let me tell you something about my I'm gonna tell you how I got there, But let me just tell you about my my stroke. And by the way, I could tell who wasn't paying attention to the last few seconds of last week's episode. Okay, because what did I say? I said Happy New Year, not Happy New Year's? Right? You know how many ms I got? I love you guys, but you guys DM

me happy New Year's. It's it's New Year's Day with an apostrophe s. It's New Year's Eve apostrophees, and it's New Year's Day apostrophees. But it's happy New Year. You're wishing me a new year one year? No, if you want to wish me happy New Year's like I should have. Oh, I leaned into the mike. I'm sorry anyway, Um, so the plan was no. By the way, did you kiss Robin? Did you kiss Robin on at midnight? Who else was I gonna kiss? Of course I did ask if you

kiss someone else. I just asked you if you kiss Robin. Okay, so let me tell you about my situation. I want to have to go round about. But the original plan because we got a deal through the cruise ship they booked. We got a boggain. I got a boggain. But sometimes the boggain is not a good thing. So they gave us a flight back from from Miami that landed in Atlanta. Okay, the flight was gonna take off from Atlanta at I don't know. This already sounds like I'm not going in

that direction. So had the flight was gonna land at ten o'clock again, I will, I will get to the full flight fiasco. The flight got delayed. We didn't we weren't gonna take off now till eleven forty two, but originally we were taken off at like ten thirty, ten twenty. We're like, you know what, We're gonna be in the air at midnight. It's gonna be so cool. We're gonna

be flying. And so I brought like those you know those things you blow and they unravel, they go no, that's you know, those little like noisemakers that don't make noise. Oh oh yeah, yeah, you blow it unravel unrolled. No, but at the end of it, there's always a horn. It was no no, but I got no, no, no, I got ones that that just go sail or something, because I quiet ones. They're just quiet ones. Quiet ones. Yes, if you saw my picture I posted on Instagram, you

saw I blow. I was blowing one. Are they for deaf people? Where the noise is? Why you get no? No? That like when you don't want to make noise. Anyway, I got those for the plane, right, the foil ones, the silver foil ones. They'd not foil the paper they unrolled. It doesn't matter paper. I've never seen one that didn't make a noise of a horn at the end when you finally get to the end of the room. No. No, these were silent ones. I've never were quiet. I've never

heard of a silent traveling. Uh So, the original plan was we were going to take off at ten twenty. The flight got delayed. They said, now delayed to eleven forty. So I'll tell you what happened at the airport. All that ship. Okay, so we're gonna take over eleven forty, and we get the announcement that it's delayed. Muscle, tell you the whole story. So they delay our flight. First they delayed an hour, then it delayed another hour and we were taking off at two. Well at eleven thirty

we get the announcement, Uh, we are delayed again. We are still waiting for our co pilot to fly in from New York. Uh and in clement weather has delayed the flight. As soon as he touches down here in Atlanta, whatever the airport is, whatever, who kis, um, we will notify you. So the guy lands. So it's so at midnight he hasn't he hasn't landed yet. So at midnight, and I'm watching CNN watching uh, Anderson, because that's only

when I can get on my phone. Okay, get this flying from um at the end, why would you watch that? Hold on? I just told you to only when I can get on my phone. So flying, But it's Anderson Cooper and Andy Cowen. It was fine this year. It was better. It was better anyway. Okay. So the flight, the Delta flight from Florida to Atlanta had touch screens with live TV and a USB plug and a headphone jaz and like all all the juice right big like

eight inch nine in screen whatever. We get on the plane to go from Atlanta to New York, and it looked like windows. It had a five in screen. No port, no it new yes, be plug, no blue tooth from my headphone, no live TV. Shit okay, so on my phone, I have to watch an out a minute delayed CNN, and I'm completely so the original plan. The original plan was this, we had the same seats on both flights. Roughly, here's here's the way it was supposed to be. My wife and I were gonna sit in the middle of

the window. So I sat on the window going down, and I told my wife I would sit in the middle on on the way up coming back to New York. So I said, I'll sit in the middle and you sit by the window. So flying to Atlanta, that's what we did. I sat in the middle, she said, up by the other window, and I peeked out the window is fine. My daughter, one of my daughters sat in front of us by the window, and one of my

daughters sat behind us by the window. So three of us got a window, and I sat in the middle. On the way to Atlanta. No problem. Right, we get to Atlanta and we have the same situation, same seating. Well, when we get to Atlanta, we get to the plane, I've got it all set I'm gonna sit next to my wife, and at midnight, I'm gonna sit next to my wife, kissing my happy New Year. It's gonna be great. Well,

my kids decide. One of my kids decides they don't want to sit next to the two people that are in the row because they were they looked well, they were very large people and and they were overlapping the armrest. They had some spillage into the next seat. So my two daughters now are quietly arguing who's gonna sit and squish in and in the window because the guy is overflowing the seat. So we don't want to embarrass them, and we don't want to, and people like are behind

us want to sit. So my wife says, because she's the peacemaker, she says, screw it, I'll sit there. So my wife sits next to them. Right now, I'm sitting next to my daughter at midnight, which is fine. I love my daughter, but it's not quite the same. So so we don't take off at midnight. We're on the tarmac, as they say, and at midnight I have to stand up, reach over the seat and kiss the top of my wife's head. That was my romantic New year's moment. Did

they make a countdown on the plane though, did anybody? No? No, And since I was looking at my phone, I saw there was midnight. I started my kids in my and I and I start going tie noisemaker. Right, we're standing up and we're doing the and everyone else on the plane is like ignoring midnight. I don't even know if they knew what time it was. No one's so they're not paying attention. Nobody give a fuck on nobody climb. There was noe you know why, No, not one wall

who you know why? Because people who already delayed almost three hours? And okay, so let me tell what happened. So so we got to take off eventually. It's now like twelve thirty. It's it's so anti everything right, it's it's twelve thirty. We're taken off, and you know, when you pull away from the terminal and the pilot will say something like all right, prepared fli crew prepared for takeoff. We are seventh in line for takeoff. This way, you know how long you're gonna wait like the taxi and

whatever he does. Flight crew prepared for takeoff, Ladies and gentlemen, we are number one for departure because no one else is flying this time at night on New Year's Day. Oh man, that is how embarrassing. It was scary. The runway was empty. We just circled, swooped around and took off. Wow. Wow, Happy New Year. That is absolutely atrocious. That is abominable. Was that a word here? The other so our flight

was delayed out of Miami. So we were supposed to get to Atlanta originally, originally like nine o'clock, nine o'clock, and originally our flight was gonna take off at like so we were like stressing, we're gonna have to run across the airport like to get to the other because it was two different parts of the terminal. So we didn't have time to eat. So we we we we ate early because we knew we wouldn't have time to

eat in Atlanta. Well, when the flights got delay aid there were oh so now you have three hours to eat at the airpoint, you bet the airport for three hours whatever. Well, guess what. We got to the airport at nine thirty I think something like that in Atlanta, and we took the train from one terminal to the other to have a nice train there. If you've been, and because it was New Year's Eve, scary, everything was closed.

Of course, every restaurant. Of course, especially with very few planes in the air, they're not going to have the business, you know, on the ground. When those planes land, everybody went home. Of course, everyone was mopping up. There was no food. Hudson Hudson News was the only place to get like crackers and whatever sandwiches. So I look up on Google Maps. The only thing open at nine was a restaurant to one terminal away, which meant I had to get back on the train tram and go back

to the other other terminal. You tell me what you would do, Scary, you have twenty minutes rush to the next terminal to hope you can get an order and to take out you hold on, hold on. It gets worse. The name of the place the Atlanta Braves Barn Grill. I can't eat there just because the division rivals Division rivals. I no fucking white, no fucking white. So that was my New Year's Eve, and my New Year's Day was

was started off. I landed it. We landed at Newark airportscary around three o'clock in the morning to thirty in the morning, and then I had a call in uber well May May three b uh better than your New Year's Eve went a year from meat Man. And I'm sorry for for saying that I had it dead on New Year's Eve. No, no, no, I got one more thing I want to just hit you with on the plane,

and you tell me how you'd react. So the flight from Atlanta to New York, the on the on the on a crate, the Delta Airlines aircraft that we were on, they turned the lights off because it's a night flight. I like to fly in the dark. Yeah, okay, so they making it so oh so here's this. On the flight from Atlanta to Florida. From Florida to Atlanta, they go, we're gonna be experiencing choppy weather. It's gonna be very choppy, choppy, choppy, So we're not gonna be able to provide drink service.

We can't come around with the soda or the drinks. So yeah, because they're afraid the cans will fly or whatever. Well you actually, no, no, when there's bad, bad, bad turbulence, they do that. So all right, that's your safety, that's everyone is safe. Yes, I understand that. So on the second flight. I say to my wife, I'm getting a soda because I want my soda. So the flight attendant, the flight attendant comes around with the car, you know, and she says, uh uh, we have snacks and sodas.

What would you like? Said one are my choices? Just we have sun chips or a snack cake. I said, I'll have the of the sun chips, okay. And what would you like to drink? I said, you have Sprede zero noe. We have diet coke and Coke zero. I gotta have a diet coke, okay. So my son chips and diet coke are handed to me in the dark, and she she rolls the cart backwards behind me and uh,

I don't know. About thirty seconds later, I put on my phone light to open my food and my soda, and I've got a snack cake and a coke zero, the two things that you opposite. How do you get both wrong? I don't know, Brody, I don't know they're there. They Sometimes I feel like that it's in one year now and one out the other with these people, because they just fit to be tied. They're tired to the same way you're going through that but going through you get one wrong. I get it this guy and another

thing Delta Airlines. By the way, when I when I posted the picture that we were stuck on the tarmac, I got a lot of people saying, Brody's gonna over the plane. Wait, wait, a second Delta flight. Why do they have sonships and there's no bis cough. Well the bis cough cookies and a shout out to Delta because they actually went a step beyond and they have their logo emblazoned in the cookie, whereas United doesn't it just as bis Coff. So the Biscoff cookies were available in

the flight. On the flight from Miami to Atlanta that I love, not Atlanta to New York. I don't know why, so I want to go. Really, we have so much to cover and we're still we're already here twenty two minutes and we haven't even barely scratched the surface. Okay, well, I wanted to I wasn't gonna tell you about the flight, but he brought New Year's I wanted to hear about it because you said, oh my god, you gotta hear this. So here we are, there's no free dessert. I looked

at the rules of Delta Airlines. The flight wasn't delayed enough, But it is my question, scary, Why am I waiting for a co pilot to fly in from New York? Are you their Delta hub is in Atlanta, right? You don't have one guy who could be cold pilot in the in the area. One guy. We all wait three hours for guy to fly in. That doesn't sound right to me. That doesn't sound that. That sounds a little Southwestern in to be you know what I mean. Yeah, No,

I can't get any money back. No. Um, something I wanted to bring up to you and I wanted your opinion on it because I think I think this this girl got shafted. Um. Was a couple of weeks before New Year's Eve, the New York City Subway reached it's one billionth rider for the year. Do you see the news coverage? I don't know. I did not because I was on on a cruise ship on a plane. Apparently it's a thing, the one billionth rider, and they somehow knew where she was. Forget about trying to figure out

which finished. The people that jumped the turnstyle and didn't pay You know, those people are not counted. They said it's only fair payers. She was the one billion fair paying subway rider for and they had their whole mt A, which is the the local New York Subway Transit authority, they had them. They're hanging out like ready to go at this one station where it was forget about the fact that they're simultaneously hundreds of people are entering all

across the five borrows at the same time, different stations. Whatever. They chose this station. This woman, she's the one billionth rider, and there's news cameras and it was covered on every station. What do you think that garners as a prize, as a winner, as a one billion person? Congratulations? They stopped her hanging out like right right? What? What? What? What do you think that gets? Well, first of all, how do you know that someone wasn't swiping the cart at

one of the other two hundred train stations. I just said that we don't. Yeah, I'm saying that's bullshitt. Of course is bullshit. But the point is they want to making this is a landmark. I would give her on one year pass to ride the train. It's afraid you would, right,

I give us something? Yeah, right, you congratulations congratulations. Yeah, add with all those cameras on it, and you're making it in public a pr moment, A publications do something to do something fucking crazy, like a train they trained, they stopped her and they're like, hey, congratulations, you're the one billion person. You would chose one in a billion rider to the to the subway. Here's a hundred dollar cash gift card at a visit, a free visit to

the Subway Museum in New York. Cheap. Motherfucker's you understand how embarrassing that is. You're the doll You've raked. Hundred dollars is nice. I'm not gonna put a hundred bucks in the grand scheme if you handed me a hundred dollars. Yes, that's one thing. That's a lot of money for some people,

for a lot of people. However, that as a prize when all eyes are on you and there's cameras, and you're gonna write a press release about it tomorrow morning, and you want the whole point of celebrating this moment is to show a billion riders and get some love for them while you're at it. They couldn't get a better fucking prize. You want to a hundred dollars. Give this, Give her fucking ten thousand dollars. Give her something five thousand, even a thousand. Give her a pass, a subway pass.

You know what to ride the subway? Do you know how much it is to ride the subway without any discounts? Like straight up one ride? How much does it cost them? Know how much does it cost us? Dumb dumb to right to seventy five? You couldn't give a two seventy five dollars like even that, Like, hey, you know what we're gonna give you, even if you said, look, you get free subway rides for life. It costs them zero cost them to not get our money. It's for a year. Yeah,

rides for a year is with a Metro card. It's like, I don't know what she's paying twenty bucks a week, That's what I'm saying. So, yeah, bitch got nothing unus. I feel so horrible for her, and she give you give her, you give her a year's worth. She's saving a thousand dollars. You don't have to give her a thousand dollars, so you're not making a thousand dollars, But so give her a year's work. Give her something rides. Shame they have monthly passes. She could they could have

given a twelve monthly passes. Here you go have a ball. So no, that's that's terrible. It was I couldn't been. And it was also covered by by every TV station and news like like like radio like people knew this was gonna be like an event deal. So it's embarrassing to the m t A that that's all you're gonna give her, Like at least have a big price to just show the TV cameras and everyone, Hey, look at this,

we give away five thousand dollars today, you know. But that did nothing for my love, you know, it didn't make me feel any more positive about the subway. That's a failed opportunity missed anyway, alright, opportunity missed. Um. I do have one more a plane thing. I forgot you're going on planes, and I got one more thing because I go to pick with some former I'm gonna say former friends of ours because I don't know if their

current status friends. But one last thing. When I sat in the middle seat, which I never do because you know, I don't. I don't love flying, so my wife always lets me sit by the window. But I was like, you know what, we're taking two planes. I'll sit in the middle for the first one and you'll sit in the middle on the second ones. So you're like, all right, no peal problem. Fine, which, as it turned out, she didn't sit in the middle because she's she switched seats

at the last second. But I'm sitting in the middle seat and the whole flight, I'm going this is not a big deal. I don't know what you're upset about. I'm sitting next to you. I look out the window. It's fine. I really didn't care about the middle seat. I really didn't. To my left is a woman who isn't one of my family. Strange, stranger, you know whatever, stranger and then or actually, excuse me, stranger on my line, and uh, you know. It made me think of a

couple of things. Made me think of a couple of things. Two things made me think of. Your theory of hot girl P. Your theory of hot girl P is it if a hot girl Pi's in a pool, you don't care. Is that correct? Yeah? I think it needs more context than that. Though. Don't just leave that, Okay, you you tossed on on you have a theory, if a hot girl pie's in the pool, it's not as bad as if an ugly person. People not just hot right like an ugly person, or it's awful, but that's your theory.

It's like, Okay, if it's a hot girl, you don't care, but if it's some like holy kid, you don't want to paint in the pool, something like some nasty asked toddler, No get away from me like that. So so if they have come up with two situations that that reminded me of that, I think maybe you're right. Girl. The So the woman next to me was in her sixties, and I wouldn't say she was attractive and certainly not

a hot girl. All right, So at some point you ever seen a Saint Bernade of course, when they're all wet and shake off sneeze and they slobb her, you know, covid aside, this woman next to me, out of nowhere goes doesn't cover her face and my left arm gets sneeze on it, and I was like, oh my god. I was like, excuse me, I'm so sorry like it because it came out of nowhere. So now I have to like wipe my arm off and not touch it because I don't know if she's sick or not whatever.

But then I thought of you immediately, and I thought, if she was hot, it doesn't seem like it would be as bad, you know what I mean? Am I wrong? No? No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong at all. Anyway, if she was hot, I think that you tolerated, you wouldn't even think twice about it. Just like so I have to say hot girl sneeze and hot cirl p. I understand the hot culpas and hot girl sneeze, ugly woman sneeze, gross grandma's sneeze. I got grandma's sneeze is where I got?

I got grandma mucus? Hot girl body fluids sounds better, doesn't it does? Hey? By the way, I want to give you props. Okay, well, thank you so much. You finally you're seeing the light. They're seeing my side of hash hashtag. Um. We gotta get you a new microphone for three and we have to have a ceremonial me smashing that with a fucking mallet. I'm telling you your microphone is absolutely shite. I'll lower the gain again. It's not the microphone, it's me. I leaned him like, this

doesn't mean anything. It's you should have control over the gain of your goddamn mike cheap. Let me hear it. Hello, keep going, talk Hello, talking full volume. Fine, I've used this microphone for somebody. Just somebody just ripped you off. No, somebody call nine one one. Somebody just ripped you off. Cat scream screams, rip me off? Fuck them not you're still still loud. Okay, listen, missed the million dollar projects. Let's take a quick break here and then um oh

we have sound and we gotta. We have a bone to pick with some people. Yes, well you do well, I think maybe you might as well. Well, we'll be just it. We'll talk about it. I gotta say. All these years we've been friends with Carla Marie and Anthony used to be on our Big show, moved to Seattle, became a hot couple in Seattle in the Northwest. They're now dating each other to living with each other. They got a morning show on twitch YEP, they got their

own podcast, their one morning show, also a pop morning show. Pocket. Carla Marie is now the official in house entertainment for the UH Seattle Cracking and the Seattle Seahawks. I think on camera in the stadium, in the stadium, what and she got yeah, and she got slimed. I know, I saw that like Nickelodeon this week. So she's doing things and and so is Anthony. We love them and they went less forever, Okay, and I and I talked to Anthony about two weeks ago and on about an interesting

financial opportunity. We have, guys, a collab. You got a collab. Collab, you have a possible collab. I thought, I thought like endeared me to them. Apparently not. Well, they were in town in on the East Coast for the holidays, and every time they come to the East Coast, I always try and they always try to get together. Let's do some dinner with well with me again. This is where we may go our separate ways on this road, because I don't think that you traditionally hang out with them

and go to dinner and go to the Yeah. Yeah, so basically, you know, when they come in, they always we always do something organized. Yeah. I always see pictures of you and everyone else I know going out to dinner. Yeah, you may be excluded from this, but maybe not really. I don't know. Maybe your question should be why are you not part of this to begin with? But but I am normally part of this situation. Yes, you're in

a circle. So when they come to town, that who they called the party boy scary, well this year they were we were making I'm trying to look for the actual text messages that were proof. I think it was Anthony I was texting. But but okay, whatever it was, I made some plans over text. Hey, what's going on when you guys gonna be in? Should we hang out? Yeah, let's do something alright, awesome, all right, let's see what happens.

Let's see how we can get this done. We goes by time, goes by, Christmas Eve, happens, I get it with your family Christmas Day. Now, the whole vacation comes and goes. I didn't get a phone call from them,

Oh no, none. And then here we are returned to uh the new year, and we were um on the Big show this morning as a matter of fact, and uh Sam producer Sam Well, it does her around the room and she starts talking about how grateful she is for all of her friends in her life and how cool it is where they could pick up what they left off, and she starts naming names. Just so me and Carl Marie and Anthony and producer baby Jake and you know Ricky uh from you know they had the

twenty something's podcast. It sounds like you're going down the list of people, have more people, You're fired pretty much everybody. They're like, we had people wouldn't know each other or if that wasn't for me, but go on, we had a great dinner together on Christmas the day after Christmas on so I'm like, I yell out into the room, sick, invite there, Sam, And then they continued, are you saying are you saying you got brodied? They never fucking invited me.

And by the way, I got roded. And not only did Carla Marie and Anthony Brody me, but Producer Jake, Ricky, your Ritza, Sam, who I work with and who I drive to work, drive to and fro and work every day. Nobody thought to text me now down now that the past in the buck. Now they're saying, oh well, scary um. And Sam was like, yeah, it wasn't my thing. This was Carla, Marie and Anthony's thing. And they did the invite, they did the organization on it. I'm like you, I'm

fucking I'm pissed. I got something the thirty something thirty something they millennialed me because I'm a gen gen xtra. It doesn't matter. We've been we've all been friends all this time. Yeah, but maybe they've maybe that in the new year, they decided the resolution is going to be to like keep it to thirty and And I've never excluded them from you, haven't never. I've always been there for every single one of them, but inviting me so at least change their guesses. So I feel like I

want to confront them. If you get Brodi or Brooklyn Boyd, I guess I got Brooklyn Boyd because they're like, oh, he hangs out with Brody, he's out. Is that what happened? No? Normally no, because we always hang out without you. So yeah, but I feel like I want to call Carl Marie right now and Anthony. I don't know if they're doing their podcast or what they're doing, but feel we should get to the bottom of this. But is is Sam

off the Hook? Is producer Jake off the Hook? I feel like Jake is nothing like one of them should have been, like, oh, I noticed scary anybody, right, But I feel like it has to start with carl and Anthony because could wait a minute. These people live in your neighborhood, so I would have been like, yes, how are you getting there? They live five minutes from me when they're and do you think they'd be like, hey, you didn't want to Sharon Uber, Oh, I'm calling them,

calling deliberal. I would get Sam, I get everybody, but call colamur and Anthony first. I'm calling Carlin Murie all right, yeah, hey Carlin Murie. Hey, oh, apparently not calling Marie. She's way she's asleep. It's scary and Birdie, Birdie and scary the Book and Boys podcast. How you doing? You're on the air, don't curse? So sorry to bother you. So you're not to bother you, calinmar He's fucking pissed. I don't get it. I just don't understand it. Calinary understand

what well? Where are you right now? You are you in Seattle? Or you are are you in the East Coast? I'm in Seattle, in Seattle right right right? What you were you were for one? How long were you in New Jersey for? In? Thirteen days? Day days? Wow? I was speaking to Anthony, and I thought we were all going to get together and have dinner, and we were trying to get something going right, like we always do.

I wouldn't say always, but I did text you. We were in Miami, right right, right, right right before Christmas? Right right? Yeah? Well, Scary, what were you saying about Sam's around the room? Oh yeah, Sam was talking about what a great time she had at dinner with you and Anthony and Jake and Ricky and everybody. Jake wasn't there or whoever on December, which was that's the day after Christmas, Sunday. It was a Monday, And actually, yeah,

what did I do the day after Christmas? Let me think? Okay, I was home and I didn't get out of bed because nobody was doing anything because I pointed out, as I pointed out, they got brodyed. So to be fair, I will find the screenshot. I sent a text that was like, hey, did anyone tell Scary Josh or Andy? And I don't think anyone responded. That's even worse. Okay, wait a minute, why did you just to cod Scary Josh and Andy on the text message? Well, because originally

it was me, Sam, your itza Jake and Ricky. Okay, fun bunch. I wonder what they don't have in common. I don't know you hired them all. Oh, I wasn't gonna say that what was true? I did, but I was gonna say it all sounds young and fun. What No, you're all young and fun. Be team, Be team you guys, most of you have had your own morning shows, and neither one of us as well. We were we were at the V team when we were at the show call and Anthony had a morning show, Ricky's on the

morning show. You guys are doing better than we actually, Ricky. Ricky is telling me, oh, dude, you don't. You don't hit me up when you were in Nashville, you know, like like so, I guess this show was on the other foot. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy to me that that maybe that I would be excluded from a mix of people who hung out with a second, I've hung out with these people, all of them, because they know I go drinking. I'm always out. You know, I'm the

guy that I live alone. When the mayor of home going out to eat and hanging out, recommending new places, setting things up for people's parties, and introducing, making introductions on bar owners and with you know me, that's me and Marie. What I what I said was based on the sound of the the attending guest list. I said that he got brooke one boyd and he's guilty by association with me, or he got thirty something out. I feel like you guys wanted to keep it young and fun.

That was probably it. It was more like people just like going out. I don't I don't know that anyone was like, don't invite scary. No, I'm not saying that. But this is this is a new revelation, a new wrinkle to the story. But Seinfeld when it was on is out. Yeah, it's sure. I did not watch Timefeld on.

I don't really watch it now. But and this isn't that I'm just saying this, maybe because I didn't ask this at all, But maybe Sam was like, I'm on vacation and don't want to hang out with people that I actually worked with. Well, she'd have to suck it up for one for like four hours right after Sam only wanted to work with people she no longer works with him. No, no, I don't think that's the case. Though Sam and I hang out also after the show. This is not true. So so there's what I'm saying

is all right, So where was my in fight? I don't know, I I honestly don't. We all made plans to meet up in like our group chat. I feel like I've been like, like ignored, like I like, I feel like that that friend that nobody wanted to hang out with. Purpose. No, you got being dramatic. I'm not being dramatic, but like, but you it sounds like it sounds like you're doing a text message out thereholic. Can I interrupt here for a second. In call A Marie's defense,

call A Marie is the visiting entity. She's coming into town and she's like, Hey, who's getting together? Like, who's who's coming? Right? I sent out the text She sent the text message out, Hey do you guys you know, hook up with everybody else? I'm blaming Sam. Here's why I'm blaming Sam. Number one Sam c scary every day. She could have said, Hey, we're going out, but she didn't. Number two Sam lives in the same general area as Josh and Andrew and Scary and basic area, at least

they used to. You'd think Sam would have said Hey, let's catch anuber together or what time you Well, I think maybe he wasn't going. Yeah, I think Josh and Andy were maybe maybe asked and couldn't That's that is exactly what happened. And he was Andrew nothing and Andy was out of town thirty something's doing nothing. Josh couldn't

make Yes, they were, they were asked. But but you you clearly said there, even though you didn't text me, you were Anthony, even though you were Anthony, didn't text me yourselves, you did say something that a text was sent to the group. Hey, did anyone mentioned? Nobody responds, well, they must have, you know, Josh and Andrew, we got gotten invited, but nobody, nobody texted me, None of those other people. You know, Danielle. I didn't see Danielle when

I was back either. Yeah, but Danielle is not part of the fun. She's she Danielle is a mom with her family. They're traveling the world. Danielle five minutes away. No. No, what I'm saying is wait a second, hold on, hold on. I'm okay with Danielle not being there because she's married with kids. But now if you're saying she should be there, what the fuck now? You took out. My way sometimes goes, well, we didn't invite you, Brodie, because you know, you have

a family and you spend time with your family away. Now, Daniel, that's that's a bullshit excuse here. So it's only fathers that are out, not mother's Okay, I got it. Also Brodie's children. He doesn't have to babysit then, right, which means I couldn't go out. I'm trying to cut her for you all this time, and you you're just blowing up your own spots. Sonute, hold on, Calmary, hold on, Calmari is gonna go? I sent the text out that said did anyone send the text out asking if Brodie

was on the text? It was a text about a text about a text? Right, there was no text. I'm fine. I'm not upset, Calmary, because, like I said, I'm used in stage one. This is stage one. I'm already in stage four. Stage four is when like people invite people to go to lunch right in front of you, And that happened all the time at the morning that yeah, people go, hey, we're all going out to and Nate you want to go scare You're going Yeah, you want

to come Gundy. Yeah, and I go that stage Scar only one where he got left out of the fun bunch. He can't deal with it. I'm casual now, you know I haven't purposely left out. I'll be honest. I think it was just like all right. But yeah, but the young group of people that hang out young young I called it, wow, aged out younger, aged out younger. You're not much younger than me. I have news for all of you, but I know how old Calm is. She's

much fifteen years younger than right. But when at this stage of the game, when we're as old as we all, we're all as old as we all are, it doesn't really make a difference anymore. It's not like it's not no, it's not like I'm seven years old. That's not like I'm five and she's ten. Then we're much older. Were much data. This is awful, this isn't. But what I'm saying is I feel I feel I feel a little slighted. No scary, you won't remember soon anyway. I I feel

like someone should have said something now I didn't. Okay, you gratuitously mentioned me something, you gratuitously mentioned me in a text as an afterthought, but nobody didn't pick up the ball, and nobody texted me and I don't know. You know, why's scary because they were going out late. They knew what your age. You wanted to have the early Bird special around four thirty. Okay, I just found the text. I said, did anyone ask Andy or Josh

are scary? And Ricky said no, Oh, Ricky's cool with it. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, and Sam said, I asked Josh this morning, but he can't. And that was where the conversation. I think it's Sam asked Josh just down but no, Andrew was definitely asked, but he wasn't around. This is absolutely did you ask you us? Did you ask Josh? Andy and scary? And her was sponts was? I asked Josh? That's all you need to know. Sam. You know, but you all have cell phones. So does Anthony, your boyfriend.

By the way, he could have called, You could have texted where? Where Where was that? Where was the out? If you thought about it, you didn't follow through with it, so you didn't care enough? Is it? In fact? Neither did Ricky for that matter. But the more the merrier. But I'm not calling him. That's what it sounds like. I don't know. Wow, this is this is I gotta say. I gotta all I know is the next time I'm home, maybe I'll give you a call. Pity call. Call him

where you don't know anything, you owe him nothing. I gotta rethink my friendship. I gotta rethink my friendship with these people. If you don't him, you don't have to tell him. There that's the rules. The second I call you, you know you'll go. I don't know how. Oh she just threw you down? Come crawling back. Listen. Sometimes people are in the mood for twelve appetizers, and sometimes they aren't. Scary. That's just the way life goes. Wow, I know a

lot more. I'm a lot more educated and informed now than I will you. You've lived a long life, scary. I know that. That that the person I drive to work every morning to and from the radio station, who we share a lot of car time with and we have every opportunity to talk about everything. UM, maybe betraying me. Maybe you should call Tom next, not for this podcast. I think I think we've exhausted this one. But okay, all right, I still love you. Um, both if I'm

in Seattle, I may or may not call you. We'll see. By the way, when I was in Seattle. When I was in Seattle, I called them. I met up with calling Marie and Anthony because that's what you do. I do that all right fully. You can't even compare that. Scary. Okay, No, I'm okay. I got things to do. What do you gotta do? What's next? What do I do? Ing? Sam's flying out, They're gonna hang out and let her talk. I'm going to Orange Theory and I am filming a

video there today. Very oh, very nice, very nice. You want to plug anything while you're here, Sure you can listen to the Morning Show podcast after the Brooklyn Boys. Of course, Um, Anthony and I do a podcast that's live every day by the time everyone is awake. It's quick twenty minutes and uh everything you need to start your day. And then you can also watch us live on Twitch, the Carline Anthony Show. There you go. See. I still gave you your love. I still gave you

your plug. We love that because I'm not an evil person. You just didn't come to dinner one time in my whole life. The plug was so he'll he'll invite him next time. I'll see about that. You and I have a bone to pick with Sam. All right, thank you Carlin, Mary. That's what I needed to know. Okay, what not called Sam? Now? Are we? I think it's no, it's gonna go Sam. I'll tell you what Sam. Wow. Yeah, And she'll have something to say about Yeah, she'll have something to say

about it too. She will. She will defend herself till the day. I gotta say. I'm I'm I'm a little I'm a little miffed, I'm a little upset, a little bit, just a little bit. Yeah, a little love was lost today here on the Brooklyn Boys Podcast. Just a little bit for people that I guess I'm not as close to the way to set to Sam. You get two sides with that? Would you like baked potatoes and broccoli? And she said, I love the broccoli. She passed up

the free baked potatoes. You were the free baked potatoes? Oh yeah? You want to reach out to Josh and uh Andy and Scary Yeah yeah. And then I got Josh take care of Josh. Yeah, we'd love him to come. He's fun. Thanks. Yeah, you heard called Wow? That was that was powerful Holpe. It was entertaining, but it was certainly Uh. It says a lot, says a lot, a lot. Uh, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna save some of my cruise stuff for next week. But I wanted to tell you

about a podcast I listened to. I thought, maybe you're gonna give me another airplane story. Oh would you like that? Your pricked No when the people don't invite you to dinner. Now I know why Josh would never do that to me. I'm ahead. So I was sitting out on the old chaise lounge. I have to chase lounge stories or chase is chase chaise although as they said, white low its Chinese a um. So I was. My wife and I were on the old chaise lounges, the chase, the lounge chairs,

whatever you call it. And I told my wife about your scheme, your scam, your scam, bony scam, invent scamboni. Well, uh, I get the music for it. You know you can't. You can't get uh if you don't get up early in, if you don't get a chair. So luckily my wife and I paid atle extra and we were in the private area right it's exclusive so there's always chairs. But you I told my wife about your scheme. You sometimes bribe the hotel staff so that when you wake up

in the morning, they've already saved chairs for you. Correct, don't you have sam the scam. The scam is, it's not a scam. It's just being proactive. You wake up at six seven in the morning, you get up, you go, you take some like an extra shirt that you're not gonna use or care about if it gets stolen, some you know, a sunglass case, maybe a magazine that you'll never read, and you just go down and get your

get your lounge chairs. Uh, and then you put this, you know, put the stuff on it, an extra towel, Wrinkle the towel a little bit, make it look like you just came out of the pool and went to the bathroom. Make it look like the chair has been used and sad and even an empty coffee couple do like, oh my god, you even ordered food here, and so like reminiscent of stuff. And then you have your belongings there too, belongings of things and stuff that doesn't matter

to you if it gets stolen or whatever. But then and then you leave, and then you go back to bed, and then around eleven o'clock you wake up, and then then you got your chair while everybody else, you know, the whole pool is full and there's nowhere to be, nowhere to sit, but but you have you have your chairs because you got up. Yeah, right, So so how

does this? So we're sitting out right and this woman is sitting by herself to my right, a couple of chairs away, but there's no one between us and my wife saw my left whatever and wait, wait, will listen. We have headphones with us, what use the music? But we're talking at the moment and another woman, So this woman is sitting there, scary. We must have been there about an hour. Another woman comes over comes into the area to see her. She's she's, oh, how's it going,

how's your day going? Whatever? They obviously had like separate cabins and they met there. So the first woman says, oh, I literally just had lunch. Scary, she didn't literally just have lunch. And she's sitting there hour. She's lying to her friend and she's over using the word literally. She did not literally just have lunch. She's been sitting there for at least a fucking hour of so that's for us. So I'm like, all right, I don't like this woman. So I turned to my wife and I got I

don't like this woman. She's fucking lying like, oh, I couldn't eat another but I literally just ate literally literally literally literally just literally Okay. So then they're having a conversation about how they spent their day and and so far the second or third day in the cruise, and the woman, the annoying woman who just locked scary, starts saying, oh, I sat out on the patio. I had a glass of wine and I want fucking patio. What are you

talking about? It's a balcony. And so the other woman goes, oh, yeah, I spent time on my balcony this afternoon too, almost like correcting car to say balcony, right, So thee goes, yeah, I could. I gotta tell you, I couldn't have a room without about without a patio. I just I just I'm so enjoying to have to go out down the patio.

She kept saying patio. Now, it's a fucking balcony. First of all, her friend was like her friend deliberately kept saying balcony, but didn't want to correct her it's not a patio. Okay, okay. Second of all, when you book a cruise, you have to click on balcony. You have to ask for this, the stuff that keeps you up at night. Still, yes, yes, it's not a bos who cares what they call it? It's you'll pay the same price for it. But I know it's incorrect, but you can't.

You just can't preside over people walking around all day and correcting them. Do you feel like you did? You don't want to jump in, but but you let it infuriate you. You're on your your paradise vacation in the sun, in the beautiful weather, and this is what this is, blocking out, fuck it, chalking up to stupidity, ignorance, whatever, that's what I do. I'm a happier person for it. Really. Yeah, don't mean to like balcony, shoot all over this, but you know, I think, Okay, it is a patio a

hundred feet in the air. It's a balcony. I get it. I get it. But what I don't get is why you allow it to bother you so much? What happened to me? What happened to me? And we just talked about five, didn't bother me. That's different. Well, of course not, you asshole. It didn't happen to you. But but that was so that was something worth bringing here and and and calling taking the task the person who didn't do the invite. But you're you're literally you're listening to yourself.

I'm literally literally just literally literally just eight and you literally are upset about speak. My point was I didn't want to hear her anymore. So I listened to I listened to a podcast. All right, somebody, somebody recommended a podcast in a tweet that I saw, and I recognize the one of the people in the podcast, right, I know who they are. So I was like, oh, I'll take a listen to the podcast. And it's a podcast with two guys from the New York area okay, not Manhattan.

Two guys doing a podcast talking about every day ship. It sounded in theory a lot like this podcast. Yeah, And people are making comments like, oh, the funniest podcast. I gotta have the you guys make me laugh. I'm so glad, And I'm like, oh, this podcast has good reviews. It's hilarious. I gotta listen. I gotta tell you it's not funny. They told stories. They told interesting stories. Did one of them have an overmodulated microphone? Shut the funk up,

your asshole. I'll push it all the way back. Is this better? No? Now it sounds like you're on speaker phone or something. You're in the back. I'll bring it closer. How's that it's now lower and closer? Is better the proper? Okay? That microphone is just you've outgrown it. Brodie, You're you're a bigger star than that. Uh not anymore, although I have to say shout out to Raoul and his wife. Raoul recognized me, and the buffet on the ship came

over to me, big slice fan. We took pictures. Uh. He must have bumped into me seven or eight times. After a while, I was thinking Role and his wife were following us. They've on the elevator with us, and the food court on the islands. But no, it was just coincidence. So right, and pronounced his wife. Did he have a room with a patio? No? He no, you know what he had? He had a deck. He had a fucking deck with a grill. That's what he had. You know what you want? Well paid? Well, you know

we all paid fresh ship. So I was thinking, if people think this other podcast is hilarious and they say it's hilarious and I'm listening to it, huh, well, I'm thinking that they love us. But I'm also thinking, wait a minute, are we not funny? Are people writing reviews that were funny and we're like boring like these people? I hope that's not the case. I wish this podcast well, I like I did to tell you a feeling we

were inspiration for them. And I know I'm not gonna ever name the podcast, and don't try to guess it. I'm not gonna out in the other podcast. Did you listen to the podcast that I gave you over the holidays? Um, I don't remember it. But I'm not going to discuss anybody else's podcast because every time you do, we lose listeners. So we're doing it. Well, there's more competition out there. They're all listening to the sex podcast. Now. I'm telling you, we gotta go, gotta go in the way of crime,

crime crimes, where it's at true crime. Yeah. No, we have to rename our podcast how Brooklyn Boys stuff works, and then we'll go through the roof. Hey, you know what, I can't really do this any other time, because it's our first podcast of the year. I wanted to recap a couple of d m s and text messages I got around the Holida das around Christmas. Sure, and then we have some sound to play and we and then we have to end it with we these talkbacks because

they they keep erasing them. I only have as far back as the Christmas Eve right now. Yeah, I'm sorry, but unfortunately, Uh, that's the way the system is. So let's clear the queue on that. So so look, I am not offended when somebody wishing me a merry Christmas. I'm not. I should have a happy day. It's only good thoughts, I get it. So anyone who's wished me a merry Christmas is doesn't apply to you. I'm fine

with it. And Happy Holidays was created so that if you don't know what somebody celebrates, you know, you say this way, you like, you cover all the bases. It doesn't mean you don't like Christmas. It's not a warm Christmas. It's just what people say, like, oh, I don't know you know your your target. The woman says, hey, happy Holidays because she doesn't know what you celebrate. That's fine. I was wished to merry Christmas. I got three things.

I was wished to Merry Christmas from someone who knows I'm Jewish. And these are not listeners. These are personal friends of mine. They know I'm Jewish, wished me merry Christmas. That's a lot. Okay, fine, it's a general if I may, that is a general general feeling of the of the season. It's like seasons, greetings, happy holidays. Except here's the thing. Not from a stranger. These are people that know me. And also Hannakah this year was the same time as Christmas.

I was going to say, it depends on how well they If they know you, they shouldn't be saying Merry Christmas. But if if they don't. Honest mistake people say if Hanka is the first week of December, because it moves around by the time you can wish me. I'm not offended. I just would like to happy Honakah from people who know me. That's not that is not a big ask, Okay. Somebody who knows I'm Jewish. Another a friend, a longtime friend who knows I'm Jewish. On Hanakah, I texted them

and said Merry Christmas because they're not Jewish. They wrote back, happy Holidays. They they know I'm Jewish. So I wrote back, I said, why wouldn't you wish me happy Hanakah? I tend to do that. I tend to that. I tend to do that. Um, I say to people who I know are Jewish, I'll say happy Holidays, and I don't. I'm trying to. I'm trying to understand and dissect in my own mind right now why I do that. So I asked this person, just curious, why didn't you right

back happy Hanica. Yeah, it's not a it's not a hatred or as about hank. He brought back. I didn't know I could say that I'm not Jewish. What you know to be Jewish? You're not gonna be Jewish to say happy Honkah, just like I don't need to be Christian to wish someone a merry Christmas. So then okay. So the first one was a Christian wishing me a merry Christmas, who knew I was Jewish. The second one was a Christian wished me happy Holidays, knows I'm Jewish.

Here's the one that got me. A Jewish person I know who knows I'm Jewish wished me a merry Christmas in a text message. They're Jewish. I'm Jewish, wished me a merry Christmas. Again. I'm not offended by merry Christmas. I think it's a wonderful time of year. It's a beautiful time. I was not to say and and because

it's it's the it's the spirit of the season. Do you think that some people wrap that phrase up in spirit of the season and they just got merry Christmas and they're just like exploding Christmas everywhere Christmas whereas they're not trying. They're not talking about it in the in the biblical sense and the religious sense. And it's a beautiful day. You're celebrating the birth of Jesus. Whether I grew up believing or not, it's irrelevant. It's a nice day.

Everyone's nice to each other, and they are great sales the next day. It's all good. I'm fine. I just found it odd that people who know I'm Jewish can't just say happy A little weird. You want to say happy Honnakah, merry Christmas. That's fine anyway, that's all. Also, Instagram can go funk itself. Why why you know when you search for gifts or like little um little uh

pictures like icons. When you want to like put up an Instagram story, they're like, oh, we want to like you should shop at Brooklyn Boys dot big Cartel dot com dot com right sale or buy now you know whatever. If you search for minorah, which is the symbolic UH eight candle holding UH symbol of Hanuka eight lights. Yeah, when I searched for that, Oh, I know where you're going with this one. Number one I shouldn't have. You shouldn't put up a canara, which is for Kwanza with

seven candles. That's what I was saying, which they did last year. The candle right. You should get that right. In respect to Jews and and people who celebrate Kuanza, you should get it right. Somebody on Instagram should know that. However, when you're Jewish, Hebrew has written right to left. Everybody knows that. You shouldn't know that hebrews written right to left. And when you light the candles on the manorah, they

light right to left. First night is on the right, then the second night is the one next door, and you go right to left. Okay, if you're into business, you should know that the average person. You liveing in Alabama, you never met a Jew, that's fine, you don't know that. That's nothing nothing against Alabama. I'm just picking a random state not known for a large Jewish population. And you don't have to tweet me if you know a large Jew.

I'm sorry. However, Instagram put up animated Banora's okay, where they lit the first night, second night under the boom and they lit like you know, one through eight when they went left to right, they went left. Oh dude, I mean, show a little respect. Listen. If you're gonna tell me the Jews control the media, the media should get it right. You know what I'm saying this is like the people like people that hang Italian flags upside down. I have the same problem with them when they displayed red,

white and green instead of green, white and red. I'm like, what kind of an Italian are you? Speaking of Italians? I was in Brooklyn yesterday. Can we take a break first and then we'll take that No, God damn it, I have a funeral home question when we come back. Okay, please, all right, take a breather, alright, yes, all right, take the microphone out of your mouth. Okay, Driving through Brooklyn, scary, our old area. I got pizza from LMB. I got

a rice ball special from Joseph Avenue. You I was all over Brooklyn, so it doesn't I'm not gonna tell you where it was, but I was all over Brooklyn. I was in seven or eight neighborhoods. Okay, I passed. You tell me if this is wrong. I passed a funeral home, a solemn, very Italian funeral home. It had Christmas lights all over it and a big sign that said Merry Christmas. That's tacky for a funeral home in my wrong, No, it's not. No, No, they should be

festive with Christmas lights blinking. Yeah, because they're talking to the general public who may not have had someone pass away. I mean, if anyone who drives by gets the message, then mission accomplished. I don't see. I don't see an issue with that. What if somebody was they had their funeral that day, and you're you're you're like, well, it's not like they put a fucking wreath over the coffin,

or they have snowman and sand laws lights up. No, yeah, right, it's not like this stuff going on inside the funeral home. But to put something on the outside as an acknowledgement of the season. Once again, I don't find it. Probably it's too happy. What it is? You have a funeral hobby for the people that are passing that that signed by What if they had like wacky way inflatable arms Santa? Would that be? Okay? That's where I draw the line. Okay, so listen, we have some talk packs. We'll get to

the last. Let's get through this sound real quick. Okay, there's a scam bony going on. There's a scam bony going on on television that if you don't pay attention, you don't think, you don't think, you don't notice it. But I've noticed. I only got two of them, but there's three or four infomercial commercials running. They're like two minute commercials. I edited them down where they keep well, I want you to play the first one. Would you please play the red one, red hose, whatever it is,

red dog and listen to what is it? I got? Red Dog? Yeah, Red Dog. I want you to hear how they tell you why you should buy it. Play the clip and listen to the warning at you could stand over one dollars for a socket set, or you can get the incredible Red Dog for just But wait, there's breaking news. Red Dog maybe discontinued. Due to rising maybe and supply chain shortages. Red Dog is stopping manufacturing immediately. There's a strict limit of three per order while supplies last.

Do You still have time to get your very own Red Dog, but you must act fast. Once the current inventory is gone, It's gone forever. Can I say something? Wait? Wait, okay, I just want to just get I saw this fucking same commercial three or four times, and every time I'm sitting there and I'm like, they're trying to put what over on us? But ahead, yes, okay, so you pulled this clip. Yeah. So Red Dog is a thing that

holds all of your batteries of all sizes. And if you don't get I'm sure there's a hundred companies that make these, if you go on Amazon or wherever. But this company breaking news. We're not making anymore. A screwdriver. It's no, it's a it's a thing that whole I don't know it's your batteries, it doesn't it. Red Dog is a it's an actual screw driver that fits all

the screwdrivers. Basically, it's like it it has like all these little uh little little many things in it, and then it fits the mold of what you're trying to screw or unscrew. It's it's basically a drill, like oh right, right right, it's the thing that doesn't require a head on it, right right, doesn't Yeah, it's that the push pins, the thing that holds all your tools to something else.

Right now, people are screaming like about yeah, I got it. Yeah, So not only not only do you have to get it right away because they're not making anymore oh my god, breaking news by the way, it's breaking news in a commercial they filmed, right, they knew in advance that they were gonna say that. Still breaking news. Okay, none of that. But you can only buy three you think they'd be if they were really going out of business? And a minute, I can only get three. I better get three now

before they run out? Does this work on people? So I thought, well, that's weird. But then I heard then it was a commercial for a thing that bakes potatoes. Now, I want you to hear a couple of things. When it says patent pending, that means they don't have a patent. That means they applied for a patent and the government hasn't given them one yet. They may never get one. That's why it's pending. So it's not a big deal

to say patent pending. I can put a patent on my butt and I'm not gonna get a patent on it. So here's the this plastic thing with a dome. Because another a problem they've solved. I didn't know it's a problem. It's a problem they've solved. And listened to the end of the commercial. This is a potato cooker. You got the potato and it comes out burned. And try microwave a potato by itself and he comes out lucy and dry. Mummy Can's patent pending down and the raised basse let's

heat circulate for even cooking. But wait, there's breaking news. Yummy caned potatoes is being just continued due to rising costs and supply chain shortages. Yummy can is shutting down, so familiar manufacturing wait immediately immediately strict limited three Yummy Cans ber order while supplies last. You still have time to get your very young yemmy caned potatoes, but you must act fast. Once they're gone, They're gone. Forever. Yep,

same exact playbook from that. You don't get a yummy can once they're gone, you will die not making a good potato. And it was almost felt like it was written by the same fucking people who wrote that other bad commercial. It was. It was They're gonna live there in a bunch of commercials, and and all it is is insert products here and then repeat the same script. I'm willing to bet that neither Red Dog nor Yummy

can going out of business anytime soon. But remember, but Red Dog they go, we maybe we may be going. We may be shutting down one of the one of the mean, a couple of the laws of of marketing are a well, first of all, in the beginning you said, what kind of problem is that I never had that problem? It's created problem, create a problem, and then create the solution.

So the problem there is with that inherently is the sometimes the problem is so outrageous and make a potato, right, it's so like or when again I've used this example before, as this suffer happened to you when you take out the muffins off out of the fucking the muffins come out of the oven and the person burns themselves and the muffins fall over the floor. That doesn't happen like that in real life. So they take it. They make it so insane over the top of a problem and

then the solution. But the other thing at play here is the fact that they're creating an urgency, because so it's like, not only do you need this to say of this problem, but there's an urgency to get it now and not wait two weeks. And that's where the component of we're going out of business and see them again. If if so, here's my question, Well that's the who

home shopping network. What happens with the home shopping Network West soon as that timer goes down and that's we're done, you'll never see and they go on to the next item. But meanwhile, I guarant fucking te you you call three four hours later, even three four days later and reference you. You referenced the product of what it was, and oh, miraculously then turned down the cash. You can still buy it. I bought, I brought a ring like four hours later

that my wife wanted. I called back and I was there, like, yeah, of course, of course, it's a gimmick. It's the urgency this clock is ticking down. You gotta do it now. Now you're gonna buy three potato cookers? Are you gonna give it as a gift? Hey? Mary, I know you've been having a problem with your soft or burnt or mushy baked potatoes. So for Christmas or hanaka, I got you a potato don't maker? You know Mary's gonna say, oh, I got three myself. I had to they were running out,

all right. You know I was gonna say real quick. Amazon is doing that now. If you haven't shop on Amazon, they do like, oh, it's on sale, and then when you look at it goes and a checkout. If you click this little button here, you get an additional five percent off. That research shows people like the extra five percent. But if they made the price five percent low, you wouldn't notice it, so they don't. It doesn't work as well, but they give you that extra Sunday. They get every

marketing trick, every bony imaginable. All right, we got we gotta we gotta go quick man, New Year's Day, let's do death jokes. So this guy is making he's doing He did like seven stories. I edited it down. He does like six or seven music stories, and then it makes jokes about every one of them, like he's doing

like story joke, story joke. Then like he segues and it's awkward, and then it's really uncomfortable, and then he admits that he has no talent, which I thought was sie and I left it in but listen to the guys the last joke he made band after the tragic passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins, maybe they can get that drummer from back and cut it off. Look. Food Fighters have announced that they will continue on as a band.

After the tragic passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins. Maybe they can get that drummer from Nirvana the film He was pretty good and modest trummer Jeremiah Green has passed away unexpectually at age forty five from cancer. No snappy jokes or one liners. Year, just wanted to say thanks for the years of tunes and sent our condolences to the

rest of the modest mouse and dream families. Um Jesse Lee And it's a new year, but the same meed of mediocre journalistic skills match that's on unparalleled level of limited broadcast ability, and there's still gonna be lots of dick jokes too, so he he's terrible, but he does joke choke choke, and then says, hey, monest Mouse drummer died of cancer. They're making no jokes. Why why do you say? Why would you? Yeah, why would you even say that? It's implied you're not gonna make a joke,

you askehole. Hey he died of cancer. I'm not making any jokes. I just want to say thanks for the music. What a goofball? Like what why wouldn't you just say in a somber story. Yeah, you know what he's doing, like shotgun jokes. He's like, oh this with this band and that band and Foo fighters joke and hey man drumming from Modest Mouse died of cancer. I'm not gonna make any jokes here, No, thank you, captain obvious. Yeah, but then he admitted that he has no abilities, So God, alright,

but no abilities. K Katie Babs is back. Katie Babs, we're back. Oh let's see this. Ja go a new Years. Let go with New Year's Day, New Year's Day. Okay here, New Year's Day with Katie Babs. And you tell me if you've ever said this, I thought this, Yes, God, one thing, hold on, finish your sentence and you end. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault. Signing is so fucking off. On Christmas Day, it's Christmas Day? Right? And what is it at nine o'clock at night? It's still

I gotta rewind it, hold on, rewind it like that, say im out of here on this New Year's Day octane or New Year's Night, depending on where you're listening from. It's still still New Year's Day. Yeah, okay, here she is talking about New Year's Day. Play Katie Bab's Katie Babs. It's almost time for me to get out of here on January One's still crazy to say that. It's I feel like we

should be redoing one right now? Pretty crazy? Oh oh, you mean the middle of COVID You really want to go back to one? Let's play that. Is there something else there? Because that's what I picked up on No no I I well that, yes, but also like I'm sick of people with the can you believe it's this year? Can you believe it's summer ready? Can you believe it's November one? Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel does this all the time. I can't believe it's already December first, I can't believe

it's already. Listen. John Oliver does a montage every year people doing that. I can't believe it's already. Yes again, it's three to get out of here on January one. Still crazy to say that. It's I feel like crazy redoing one right now? Pretty crazy? Okay, pretty crazy, it's insane, scary, it's fucking nuts and nuts. And by the way, once again, let's take us back to January on one, where were we um We were in the middle of fucking COVID.

So no, no, thank you, I'm okay with my count And and by the way, that was something you said on January one, two right, like you would just came out of two years you were trapped in your house. Two is fine, it's fine, is fine. We all went back to work, most of us. You know. Yes, it's still COVID. I get it. But it wasn't like twenty and twenty one. Twenty who was fine? What are you

still complaining about? Katy blabs, Katie blabs everybody. All right, let's go through some talkbacks and then we gotta get out of here. And it's not my fault. Yeah, my fault. It's not my fault. My fault, it's not my fault. We have to hurry up. I'm sorry, all right? What we don't We are given time? People ask, why can't you just make the podcast two hours? We are given time constraints, um by the higher up, by my family. Well, they also don't want to our parts. They don't want it.

They just it's it's not it's frowned upon. So give you to our podcasts. We just take two weeks to do it. I guess. So you want to hear to our podcast, listen to other podcasts I listened to it was forty minutes. Seemed like two hours. All right. So let's let's go through some talkbacks. Tell them talkbacks while I pull this up. How they can reach us on the talk back? How does one have the to us? You have the free I Heart Radio app. And by the way, two people were like, well I don't have

the higher app. We'll get it. It's free, right, it's free. Down load the free app. I'm telling you, yeah, get the app. And it's a little button when you listen to the Brook Boys podcast that you hit it and says talk back, you record a message, yes, and then you can go back to listen on Spotify if that's what you prefer, if you want to talk to us down on the heart app. It's a good app. It's great app. You know, I don't worked anymore, and I'm still being I'm still telling you it's a good app.

So I'm not getting if you don't if you don't hear your talk back, well, first of all, we don't play all of them, but secondly, uh, they seem to only keep a record of two weeks and then you race them. Uh. And since it's been a while since we checked this, some of them got lost and we never heard them. And I'm sorry, but here's one from Oh this came in on December at two oh five in the morning. While listening to episode one six two, whoa what's in your death box? Oh? I remember that? Yeah,

that was a good one. Listen to this you can't here all right, Hey guys, I'm listening into an old episode and you're talking about delivery driver tips like door dash and uber or whatever, um and and you were scary. You were mentioning like is what you give um, we as dashers whatever. We don't care about the percentage, like it could be a huge order. We just need two dollars a mile base it off a distance. Wow, he's getting us, letting us off easy there it sound well,

wait a minute. If if you come to my house with two hundred dollars worth of food and you draw from around the corner, I should give you a tip based on one mile. All right, Oh that's not good. Listen to what you're saying. Boy, Okay, he's ripping himself off. What's going on? You know what I'm thinking? You know what I'm thinking? Scary? Uh. That gentleman may live in a rural state or a rural area where coming from smash Burger is an hour drive and he would like

his hour drive tip. So if that's the case, I get it. I think we have to. I think he's he's generalizing the country, but I think he should generalize what his situation is. In metro areas, we all live on top of each other, so the distance is going to be very, very But there's a man who's who hasn't heard us promote the talk back and yet figured it out by himself. So Bravo, sir, Bravo. Here's another one. Bravo.

All right, yo, Brooklyn boys, it's Trevor from Florida. Can we get a fucking listen in order jingle sometime soon? Come on? Scary alright? That would be the Pearl Jam parody. Listen. We have a bunch of them, Yeah, we do. We have a few. All right. I'm working on getting that connectivity. We have the technology almost to tap into this, put it on a flash drive and bring it home, your lazy basti um. Reaching out in regards to the getting cold for Christmas, well, I was adopted into a Jewish

family and I got cold for Tonico. So, wow, you guys so much to take care of. He had Iconica, Mary christ I wonder what he did to earn Cole and it's in Ronica. That's terrible at the rapid. I hope they got a good hope they got a good deal on the call. Wow, Cole porter, did Cole slaw? This person didn't realize they had their microphone press. We'll

just bypass that one. So this is probably going to be a hot button for many parents who are listening but doing things like alf on the shelf I don't agree with that, because basically, what are you going to do the rest of the year when your child is not behaving. You don't have the off on the on the shelf to scare them to be good, So instead, try working on having them intrinsically motivated to want to do good. Okay, so what's you say? But they can

pretty cool or something not nothing important. Basically, they want you to can. She wants you to condition your children to be better, to be better overall, right, not just this one time of year where they may they may obey it, and then the rest of the time they just I don't know, I'm not a parent. Sorry. What she's saying is, you want your kid to be good all the time. So here's what you do. Here's what you do. You you put a piece of wood on the shelf, and you put a ring doorbell camera. You

nail it to the wood. You call it ring on the thing, and you tell the kid to ring on the thing. Is is gonna be watching you all year round? Ye oh yeah. It loses the luster after a while, though, I think. But you know what, so you know, we say you should be nice during the holidays, right, Everyone's nicer. Maybe that's what you're gonna get out of your kid, because he's a fucking brat. Here she to take the

one week. I understand your point. It would be great if we could teach our kids to be nice all the time. So kids too, it's difficult. And if you're if you're a if you're a helicopter parent, or you're a now John, oh, Zachary, remember Zachary with the balloon? Yes, now, if you're a Zachary parent from you know, ten episodes ago. Now, Zachary, it would be nice if you got back in line, zach I mean, would be good. That's never gonna work, never, never.

All right, let's continue. We have a lot of these play them. Hey guys, I've noticed that ever since COVID, people are sending less cards or less people are sending cards. Very true, d forbid you should do the Grammar police on me. My mother would roll over in her gravety English teacher anyway, So yes, less people are sending cards these days. And Brodie, if I had your address, i'd send you a card Christmas card, Happy nice CHRISTI from saddle Brook. You know what, I'll have to look Christie

up in saddle Brook, cause I'm in saddle Brook. What did you wish you married Christmas? Not? Either? One's fine? Alright, you know what? No one second? She said. Less people are sending out cards, and that's fine. You're right, But our pal Elliott sent Scary a card, not me, and I reached out to Elliot. Can I follow up on that story? I reached out to Tellio and I was like, hey, man, I hope you had a good holiday. Um, I haven't heard for me in awhile. I texted you a couple

of weeks ago. I hope you're doing well. He wrote me back. Oh my god, so great to hear from you. We should get together. All great? It was fun time, good good. I didn't say, where's my super high grade paper quality card of your beautiful family? You know, we can call him next week on the podcast. We can do that and ask you. I'm gonna do that. No, I'm kidding, I'm gonna do that, all right, all right,

all right, here we go. Yo. I was cursing your motherfucker's out, saying the Brooklyn boys left us for two weeks with our I just saw in your episode December, what a second picture house? Wow? All right, someone is off their meds. Okay, keep going, keep going from want I wish you guys are to happy New Year. Take care of ye No no sign of Hanaka there. Okay, Sorry, look sorry, I'll take it. Was very nice him, I'll take it. I'm un offended you forgot about. He's not

someone who knows me. You forgot about. Hey, sell and I'm from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and I just wanted to let you all know that I just found out about your podcast the Elvis during in the morning show, and I wanted to tell you how awesome you are. I'm so glad you've been doing this for a while because I'm listening from beginning to end. Have a great day there, she commented on episode to thirty seven. So she couldn't have gone through in that time. She just found out

about it. She's not listening to in order. She's not listening in order. It's okay though. Well. Here's a comment on episode twenty nine. Episode twenty nine, Hey Scary and Brodie Brody and Scary is John Thompson from Clofax, Iowa. I don't have to say I'm going through your podcasts for all the fifth or six times started from zero and I just listened to episode twenty nine again. I realized that Rody, you said GPS system, and that seems a little redundant, doesn't Man. I love you guys. You

love to go work and never put this podcast. I've lived for this ship. Thank you so much. Again, I know the first rule of cracking someone is always be right. I started second guessing myself and listened to your words again during episode and you definitely did not say GPS system. Apologize. I love you guys, keep it up, don't ever clip done. Okay, a couple of things. Number One, he's listened six times, so super prop god bless. That means listen six times.

And thought I said GPS system. I told just now that second, I've never said that in my life. Um. But the fact that he remembered the rule number one of correcting people's be right, be correct love that I want to take and I didn't say it. All right, there you go. I feel better now. Mommy don't know he's getting hut doing something on Holy Dan Brodie doesn't know. That's the number one song in America right now by Sam Swich Luck Kicker. She got married to a boy

like you she kick you out. This guy is rising Brodie because so yeah, so yeah. Brodie was found out on the last episode that he does not know the number one song in America on the whole by Sam Smith and Kim Petris right Now. And I was shocked to find that out because it's like, what the fund is that? What is that? So Brody has abandoned pop culture. It seems like so now the listeners are right up

in his face singing the lyrics to those songs. Well, that's because because I'd rather be listening to uh dial tone, catch your breath. That's why. Yeah, I don't listen to pop music. Everyone's very much. Although although I drove my daughter home from Brooklyn yesterday and I did get to listen to a playlist of uh, Conan Gray and Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. Did you hear the Sam Smith song yet? No? Not a fan of that song, but you you haven't heard? And he hasn't been playing in

an uber or on a store somewhere. No, I don't go into stores to play pop music. No, I haven't been into stores. I've been on this James again, the Christmas Miracle story. It wasn't on the Internet. It was on the news. I was working at BJ's at the time, and they showed it. You got Minors, Scars and Bruce's and they called it Christmas miracle. I got it was relevant to what you have said. All right, all right, guys, keep it up, thank you. Okay, who doesn't love b

J's um. But I think I think the problem here is what Dicks sporting goods? No, No, like BJS better than Dicks. So uh. I had played a clip of somebody saying that the guy who fell off the carnival cruise ship survived was a Thanksgiving miracle. My point wasn't that they say they're Holiday miracles. It's that everything is a Christmas miracle. Nobody ever says it's a Thanksgiving miracle. That was my point. So I think James James wasn't was pointing out a Christmas miracle which was not really

relative to relatable to the story. But I understand it and I appreciate the effort, Hey, guys, um relation to your Christmas parents being sucked up. In Romania, we celebrate something called St. Nicholas, which is a week or so before Christmas. You leave your shoes out and if you're good, you get presidents like stocking stuff us. If you're bad, you get switches branches off of a tree that your parents are supposed to hit you with. Oh my god, I always got both, so I suppose it was fine.

Oh you know that's a similar with a similar tradition in Brooklyn. If you left your shoes out, whether you're going to bed, somebody stole your fucking shoes. Where do you live where you can put your shoes out and they stay. I love how you have to pick your own switch your branch to be beaten with that. That's what people do that. I've seen that movie. Go get a Branch. I'm gonna beat you with more, more more

coming in from episode to forty. I'd rather have an elf on the shelf to keep my kid right a stick. This is from Lioncaster. I was just listening to the Elliott in the Morning Show on One Too and uh the playback of it, Bertie, you need to listen to Elliott talking about greeting cards. You might find it funny or interesting and about holiday cards. So I don't know if you guys listen to him or not. So there you go. In the morning. Elliott's our friend who didn't

send me holiday card. Yeah, so I gotta hear this. Now, you gotta listen to I don't know, I don't know. I'll find a clip of what she's talking about. What play next week? Yeah? Absolutely, that's great. Okay, that's great. Brooklyn Boys, scary Brodie, Brodie, scary Charlie from Queen's Here the Love of God. I don't know if it's scary. Is eight hundred million dollars sound system? All the fact that Brodie is not in the studio anymore, but he

does not know how to use a microphone anymore. Thank you, Thank you the red every time. Thank you? Yes, amen? Yeah, okay, sorry, sir, I'm not called us an intervention. You need a better microphone. We gotta we gotta upgrade you. We gotta upgrade you. This is not gonna work. You can upgrade me. What are you you're buying it from me? Uh no, it's an investment in your future. We'll call it that. I know it's And by the way, it's nothing I'm doing

on my head. I'm trying to keep the levels down, but well, can I can I pull the curtain back a little? No matter what you say, it's like that all right? Is it? Does it sound like that? Now? It does? It does? It's it's the microphone itself. We need to switch you over to a better quality microphone, my friend, I love you. I love you? How about now? How about now? What? Still? Is it still distorted? Right now? No? It's not okay, So I think I know what the

problem is. I'll have to make some adjustments. But about six episodes ago, I moved. I got it. Uh, I didn't move, but I I moved where I do the podcast from into a into a bedroom from my den, and I have a gaming table. I told you I got a new chair. Akay, I had to change amount. He's like a twelve year old boy playing for Fortnite in there with his economic chair and his headset. Correct. Yeah, that's it. So I think I think the problem is

is the arm is not at the right positioning. I will fix that, Charlie, I apologize, all right, Well, well who knows? Who knows? I hope we don't lose more. Charlie's I'll buy a seven hundred all of microphone scar as you should. It's an investment in your future. And you're you guys move studios. You could have grabbed me in one from the old place. It's an investment in your craft. So I'm saying you could have grabbed one

of the hundred they left behind. I could have done that. Yeah, alright, alright, I love you all. All Right, it's time we gotta say goodbye. Is it? That's it? Man? Is it? It's been over and a half. All right, that's fine. Well that's scary. So we have two scary and I have two jobs scary. It's gonna rip rip into Sam at some point and I'm gonna listen to Elliot in the morning and figure out why I didn't get a holiday. Car.

I love that we have a suthing, we've homework, assignments, assignments right, pizza and a merry Christmas from a funeral home. Boys Rock Brooklyn Brooklin Boys brock Brookla.
