#247: That's NOT My Coupon

I'm not exchanging You're not exchanging uh for Valentine's Day because our birthdays just happened, the holidays just passed, and our anniversaries coming up. Doesn't we stop robbing from hooking me up? My birthday is always uh two weeks after Valentine's Day, and I get a gift from both for both of That's nice. She's still trying to win you all for bro my wife has me. Oh, so now she feels she doesn't have to put the effort in. I see we have I mean we have each other.

We put effort. My point is, I think Robin is still trying to to make sure she has you long term. She's still acting like she cares it's like you guys like getting a young relationship. But we always are like that. And and I'll say this, and it is Valentine's Day, by the way, in case you're wondering when we're recording this and not post it on Valentine's Day, but we're recording it. Yeah, we made executive decisions. So check this.

I go through the motions every year and I'm no, I'm always the guy who has to have the list, the candy, the check, the flowers check, the card check, the restaurant check, the gift check. Now, I know that's where that's where you take issue with this because some for some the gift is the dinner or the flowers in the card, all combined with a dinner. So so I don't know, you know, I'll leave it. I'll leave it right here, and we don't have to dwell on it.

But but I feel the one thing that has to happen on Valentine's Date is they have to get no, they have to get the roses to the to the office. Yeah, because it's a it's like a moment of peacocking, right, like, oh, look at me with my giant bouquet of flowers in a vase. Oh, and then everybody on in the office stairs. It's kind of a good feeling. I mean, I know, it's have you gotten roses sent to the office. I got my first flowers today, though, from ever, from Gandhi.

Gandhi was handing out flowers to all the guys today and I was, which is fine, everybody, that's very nice, But that's not special Skiary, I was I wasking specifically, No, it's nice, props to Gandhi. What I'm saying is, has anyone ever sent you like a bouquet of flowers? No? Never, ever, But I understand how important it is for for some women to have that. So I figured I would just send it to the office. So that's paid triple price. What do you think price triple price? I don't even

want to know. But I just wanted it to be there on time today. And uh, she texted me, she said, I think I somebody was allergic. I was three ft away from them walking through the hallway and they started sneezing up a storm. But that's called loneliness, she said her. She's she says her her office like, oh, that's impressive, that's nice. That's nice. So you know you gotta do that. I think that's a good gesture. I think that's always going to be on the list. But all right, you

know I didn't do candy this year. I think candy is over. It is candy over. I don't know. My wife's never been a big leg send me a box of chocolate, person. See, I like eating chocolate, but I don't And I just feel that all right, And maybe I don't know. The card is need the card though? To top it off, you hadn't sent flowers, right, and that's a reason for her to reach out to you. Which one of you would have texted the other or

called the other one and said Happy Valentine's Day. First, we had a text exchange early this morning, so regard very nice. And it started with me. But oh look at you. Now, if you hadn't texted her, would she have texted you? Yeah, of course I just got to hers. But okay, very good. But I feel like you kids have a shot of Steff sticking together. But dinner. See, this is where I kind of take exception to everything.

I would rather celebrate. I would well, I would rather celebrate Valentine's Day on the Saturday before or the Saturday after because it's more convenient. I tried for the Saturday for this Saturday, but we both had something to do early morning Sunday, and we were like, yeah, she's well, she's going out with their but so my wife plans with my one of my daughters. So no, no, maybe her side piece, you know, right on the side piece

was with wife. So it's okay, but to mass but you know, this is a one thing that's a sticking point for for my girlfriend. And it's like, they gotta have the Valentine's Day dinner on Valentine's Day. So if that falls on a Monday, so be it. What did she did? She make plans that she did. I made the booking, but something else. It's Tuesday. I'm like, come on now, it's a work night, it's a school day. I know I'm crying. I'm belly aching. I'm belly aching.

But I like, I like how I love Robin. I like the way she has you wrapped her on her finger. She she will only accept Valentine's Day on Tuesday, and she got you to make the reservation. You're a swell guy. Well, so are you going to a romantic place? We're going to a place where I can that complies with my diet right now. Oh, so you're jipping her on the dinner, slipping her on dinner. We're going to a chicken We're going to No, we're going to a nice seafood spot. This,

this is not a jip. Okay, hold on a second, hold on, didn't won't culture cancel the word jip here? That's not you should you shouldn't be using that word anymore. Well, if you spell it j I P. You can say it, but that's how I spell it, if you're okay. So in Brooklyn, jip means ripped off. Yeah, jip like I got jipped, however, and I don't think it's I'm not gonna say what will culture anna snowflakes the snowflakes? No, this is this is about a ten year old thing.

So it's before the current movement. Um so jipped from and you don't need to tweet me um sure. But it's short for gypsy, okay, And it implies that gypsies were crooks and thieves and dishonest and would rip you off. It would be like saying I'm sorry, I can't the snowflake jingles coming out for this one. Sorry, all right, Well, if there's Gypsy's listening, it's snowing here on the podcast. Sorry man, I thought, and here I was thought we were in the clear for getting snow this season. But

here we are in mid February. It's snowing on Valentine's Day. I can't deal with it. I can't deal with fucking snowflakes telling me I can't say that word. It doesn't have a conversation. No, I told you you can't say. Somebody cram telling you somebody. Oh wow, hold, but you said at first, Actually I just copied you. I just explained it to you. I know, but I'm not. That

word is sticking to the Oxford English Dictionary. The first known recorded definition of the term gyp dates back to dictionary, which says it is probably an abbreviation of gypsy as applied to a sly unscrupulous person. So uh, if you are are a gypsy and you now know the word is related to you, you might not be happy. But can define gypsy now now we gotta get back again into that. Like I think I think people can go

look at up. I don't feel like I know the song of you know, Gypsy by by Steve Steve Nis. Isn't it the gypsies, tramps and thieves studying share man? You see? GYP said durned dawn down, down down. If you want to look up the etymology of of either of those words or what gypsy men, go ahead. This isn't for that. But it's not like it's a race. It's not like a race thing because gypsy isn't a race.

It's a is it a level of person? I don't know what Maybe I'm I don't level of person, Okay, A member of people originating in South Asia and traditionally having an itinerant way of life, lively living widely dispersed across Europe, North and South America. Okay, so we're a Romani language. It's related to Hindu Romani people, so it's offensive. It is. It's a culture. Okay, all right, it's a culture, so it's right. Doesn't mean I may not say it

by accident, but I'm telling you. You asked me in Brooklyn said Gyp all the time with did J J I P. But whatever, I'm just well, I guess it's like saying the bad word with an A at the end, you know, Instead of an R. If you say it with a J, you could try. It's not gonna work. I think that you're comparing two different things. Uh, but anyway, I digress, we digress. You you I am, I am. Well. You owe me? Well, I know you owe me, but

you owe me big time. So of the thought you said when you said you got jip towards where you got you? Oh yeah, you said you got your thought? Oh you you were? You said so. I was saying, if you were going for Valentine's Day in April, would you be going to this restaurant or a better one? I would be going to a no, same level, same level, same level, the same restaurant. Yeah maybe, Yeah, it's a

great spot. I mean it's not overly romantic. I mean it's in the business district where everybody goes to after workplaces. But it's still awesome. All right. It's about the time spent together, now, isn't it there, David Brodie? Is it though? Is it's supposed to be? But don't make it something it's not. Well, if it's about the time spent together, you guys can go to But as long as the cards and flowers and gifts involved, it doesn't matter. Then

then it's a night. We call it a Valentine's night. And I'm glad to come out on a Tuesday, not belly aching, just saying Tuesday on a Tuesday, but I wish it was a Friday or Saturday. That's all on a friday, alright. So ye are you hating static? No? No clean recording? Right here? Ye? Snap cracker and pop in my ear. I don't know what that's about. Cleaner than your underwear? Well, then it's definitely static. Okay. So I I told you guys last week slices. Maybe it

was last week week before, maybe it's both weeks. When I was at scary as apartment for our our live in person uh podcast, Scary dumped a whole bunch of stuff on me that he wanted me to sell for him because I'm really good at selling stuff for him on eBay and Facebook swap sites and you know, Craigslist whatever. And you're not working right now. You're not working right now.

You're chilling, chilling, chill, And so I'm like, well, well, why are you while you're chilling and waking up at twelve thirty or whatever you do wake up seven thirty don't make me sound like a bump. Well, then while you're there hanging out in today pulling your put why don't you sell some of my ship? Yeah, so, so I said, I for the challenge a percentage, loaded up,

loaded up the trunk I love. So I've already sold Scarys road Caster Pro, which is awesome, the old one, the first one, by the way, that is the first one that is a classic. It's worth more money than it looks because it was handled and touched and fondled by me. Yeah. I did think about buying it from you, but then I thought, I'm not giving you my money. She's just give it me. So I sold it for you. And I sawd a couple of the things. But I sold something. Um, it's a kitchen appliance. I don't want

to get into what it is. But I posted it on a Facebook swap site okay and new it's do and Scaries is new in the box sea old, unopened sealed brand new. Ye. So I posted it dollars new. I looked at what people were selling for it for on eBay open like forty, So I said, you know what, let me just move it. Let me move product for scary. We're not gonna quibble over a couple of pennies. I list, did it a fifty five dollars? That's fair. On the first day, a few people offered me forty Hey, would

you take forty would you take forty two? And I said, you know what I'm asking fifty five, I'll take forty eight. Nah, idiots, Okay, IDIOTSA it won't go eight dollars more for a dollar blender, all right, So but I got I got offers in the forties, forty one, forty two, something like that. So um, A woman posts on one of the posts on Facebook. So when you're in Facebook, you can post on like thirty swap sites in your general area within twenty five miles of where you live. So I ow many many sites,

and so you post in the marketplace. It posts on all of the sites at once. On one of the sites, a woman who must live in that town. I do not, but she lives in that town, she says, when you get this exact quote, because I got it into a fight with the woman. She puts a link up for some scam website and it says seventy five at Walmart with a link. So she's basically she's out selling me, like she's low balling me. But it's she can go buy it like she's so. I said, what exactly is

your point? If it's less money at Walmart, go buy Walmart, but don't post a link to where people can go buy it for less. That's not your job, I said. Besides, your link says it's eight five seven cents a Walmart. Go ruin someone else's day. She says, the point is your price is too high, and yes, I bought it at Walmart for half price. Bullshit, she did, not no shot, no shot, she did, that's correct. I hate people like her. The point is, I said, no. The point is it's

not your business. If you don't like the price, then don't buy it. But I don't need you advertising lower prices. My auction is for people who don't want to pay tax and maybe don't want to travel or don't want to pay for shipping. Live your life. I've already had three people asked me about it at regular price. So she wrote back, I hope nobody buy it from you, I love, I wrote back, I hope you'll blender is defective. You are a nasty, awful woman. And your grammar is terrible.

You're you're you're tangling with the people on your eat more languages than you And I don't give a shit about grammar, you smartass. My blender works great, so I wrote back, you can speak twenty languages. Your English sucks and that's great. And so did you report her? Did you get a kicked off? I reported her to the admin that I reported her last night to the admins. Now will she kicked a fucking job to put up

a link where people can buy it cheaper. If they want to buy a cheaper, let them go buy a cheaper If you don't like my price. You know what, walk out of the store, bitch, don't shop on my Facebook page, like go out in the little dooral chime ding, dang, the bell ring when you walk out the funk out of my Facebook store. Don't come back here, No service for you. Who does that? Grape soda? Yeah, grape soa she I can get a hand seventy five at Walnut

they go to fucking get it there. I fell a chill. Actually, I'm rooting. I'm rooting for you. I got I got my Dave Brodie jersey on right now, my hat and yeah, there they are multiplying. Did you like the John Travolta T mobile commercial? Grape minds? Think go Like I was about to say the same thing. I did enjoy it. It It was one of my favorite commercials of all the Super Bowl. Brody I didn't because it's like you don't usually see him waxing nostalgic about his old seventies and

eighties movies like that. He's he's gotta he's gotta start waxing nostalgic because his his careers are slowing down. Now. You think if Olivia Newton John was still alive, that she would be in the commercial too, if they could have afforded the two of them. Yeah, yeah, but but I thought I thought that was a great It was the uh they did summer loving, they did some loving. Yeah it was. It was an averagely written parody. I did love that. I can't remember the I don't remember

the the the sponsor, who was the suppertized sponsor? I said it was the John Travolta T mobile mobile. See that's the sign of a good commercial. And you don't remember the commercial company and it's not the sign of

a good commercial. It was like last year, ft X. Yeah, yeah, remember that they had they had in a lot of trouble this year, right, well, last year for the Super Bowl they had a big commercial with Larry David and everyone remembered the Larry David commercial, but nobody could remember it was ft X yeah. Oh wow everyone X. So I have a prediction. Well, by the way, as you guys, slices may or may not know, some of you know,

most of you know. Maybe I want to send a special shout out to the many slices that checked in and the live stream to my Super Bowl appearance on Sunday, which we did reviewing the commercials and my favorite and a lot of slices were checking in, you know, Slice for Life. And I also want to send a shout out to uh the only two people I worked with on the morning show who who reached out and jumped in the chat and retweeted and posted UH. And that

would be Bethany and Kathleen. Thank you guys for for doing that. Scary retweeted from the Brooklyn Boys account, So props to you, Scary UM. But we got a lot of slices chiming in and UH and we're very happy UH and and excited for me and said some very nice things in the chat. We're enjoying it. Uh that being said, my favorite super Bowl commercial. Oh, by the way, you can see everything on YouTube. If not today, in a few days you should be able to see it.

H the whole thing recapped and edited without the brakes and everything will be on the the sooth s O O t H sooth be told YouTube page. I believe. Anyway, that being said, I think my favorite two T mobile was third. I loved the avocados from Mexico. The Garden of Eden commercial. Yeah, I thought that was brilliant. Were like, once again, nudity is hot on the on the on the on the runway, it's in fashion again. This I like the to Be commercial as well. The commercial was brilliant.

That was the one where you thought that that someone stepped on them and that was changing the channel for you. Love that. And I loved the I loved the Nick Jonas commercial not because it was funny, it was just well done. Uh, perfectly done, got the point across. And I I I'll tell you which which commercials I hated? Did you have? I had some least favorites. I'll tell you the two I hated. I hated the Eminem's commercial. I think we're supposed to hate the Eminem's commercial. Uh.

And the spokespeople are back, the candies are back. They had another second commercial at the end. If you didn't see it, uh so clams anyways commercial. Yeah. The My second least favorite commercial was the Hellman's commercial with John ham Bree Larson, and Pete Davidson. Commercially, it was gratuitous and it was a play on words. Get it problem and the problem if you if you haven't seen the commercial, go watch it on YouTube. They're in a small refrigerator

and they're like, oh, I'm Bree your ham. You know we're we're gonna and look, mayonnaise goes with everything. Okay, great, yeah, mayonnaise goes with everything unless you're meet then you could catch them in everything. So then Pete Davidson opens the refrigerator and says, I'm gonna eat you guys. But he doesn't. He eats an actual ham in Bree sandwich that he grills, and then he's eating it talking to now a life size John Hamm and Bree Larson and they're like, that's disgusting.

It didn't make any sense now had he imagined it like if he was stoned on pot like Pete Davidson might be, and was imagining their bodies in the bread that ate them. And then it was like Pete snap out of it, and he's like, hu huh, oh I just I I dream about putting Halmons on everything. That would have made sense. But commercial was a train wreck the way it was hated. It also didn't like the Dorito's commercial with the love triangle. I didn't see that one.

It was with um was it missing Elliott Elton John and uh, what's the kid? I only saw it. I didn't hear it. I had no sound on that one. You flying first class on Jack Harlow, Jack Harler. Jack Harlow was in it. They said, oh, Jack Harlow, is it true about the love triangle? So I thought because the Doritos a triangle shaped, that three celebrities would be lady in the tramping the chip, like eating each corner like the and and like eating towards each other like

a love triangle. That would have been a better concept but that but all it was was Jack Harlow plays the triangle, makes the triangle cool? That's not a love triangle and then he loses out on the Grammy Elton John who also plays the triangle and makes it look like he's more talented than Jack Harlow, which is a slap in the face to Jack Harlow where over realizing over already commercial should have paid me a million dollars to do the commercial because he sucked. But anyway, the

grease commercial was excellent. That's really what I was going. Okay, yeah, um, you know, um, there's a there's no there's a place, no, no, no that I wanted to bring this up, and I hope I don't offend them because they are in our list. You've already offended gypsies going there in our listening area. Um, it could be god, oh, New Yorker's evally all Philadelphia, No, no, nope, down in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. This was in the post. I think I'm trying to figure out where this for

a split second, we do a podcast. Everyone's in our listening area. Yeah, but we have a high concentration in specially New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Yeah, hotless hotbed hot beds for us. So this did you There's a place called Nettie's House of Spaghetti. Have you heard of it? No? But I love that. I want to give a credit to the New York Post. Then they cook it in the Nettie pot. No, no, no, it's just the name of the place. Now. I didn't get

to comment on this earlier, but I wanted. I wanted to like leave leave comments on it. Um it gets to four point five Google rating. It's an Italian restaurant Tinton Falls, New Jersey. They are in the news today because they have decided that no one under the age of ten is going to be allowed in this restaurant. Oh, I saw that on non fallon last night, right, and then Asbury actually Asbury Park Press where I was reading it, and then Elvis mentioned it briefly this morning. I didn't

we didn't dwell on it. So anyway, pretty much saying that if you're under ten, no way can you come into our restaurant. Um. And that is because well they go. They first preface it by sent here comes the ship Sandwich. We love kids, we really do, but lately it's been extremely challenging to accommodate children. Noise level, lack of space for high chairs, clean up, the crazy messes and the liability of kids running around the restaurant. We decided time

to take control. Uh and it was it wasn't a decision that was made lightly so starting in March, no kids allowed to a place to Neddie's House of Spaghetti. And if you look at the way the food is plated at this place, and you look at the restaurant itself, restaurant looks like it could be a family restaurant. But they have a nice upscale bar and the food is plated really well. It looks like a little upscale. From the outside, it looks like a basic like okay, it's

like a house or something. It does not. It's not impressive from the outside, but on the inside very nice. Okay, that said, what do you think? What do you think the issue is? Um other than because I'm I've thoughts about it, about about having this restaurant do what it's doing under its current name. Well, it sounds like a kid's place exactly. It sounds like a place you you go off the Jersey Time Pike. Hey, everybody, we're going

to Nettie's has a spaghetti. First of all, you've got a rhyming title to and spaghetti you use the word spaghetti in the name of your play Spaghetti kids Children. So they have an identity crisis. They've got a brand where they've got a brand problem. They need to rebrand themselves as a Nets trattoria or something or Nets resta Nets restaurante, or take away the word Nettie or Nettie's or not. Gonna give up Nettie's House of Spaghetti because it's listen, let me let me, let me back up

for a second before we debate this. Jimmy fallon New York Post, the Morning Show, pressed, this podcasts, rise, press whatever. We're all talking about it. And here's what I'm gonna hear. Okay, I'm gonna say they're gonna pull an Eminem's maneuver. They're gonna pull a new Coke maneuver. What's the new Coke maneuver? You say? In the eighties, new Coke came out right,

they replaced it, They changed the flavor of coke. Has heard on this po cast several times, Yes, new Coke, and then when people didn't like it, they brought back coke as a hero on a white horse. Sales went through the roof. They sold new cocas New Coke for a while as a separate entity, then died out and then everyone forgot and now it's just Coke again. Right. The same thing with the M and M's. They brought

in My Rudolph to get attention. They made a terrible commercial so people would be begging for the candies again. The candies were back before the game was over. It's all a big thing, I'm telling you. Before March, they're gonna say, you know what, we've said a code of conduct for kids, and uh they we're gonna allow kids Monday to Thursday. We're rethinking it's only on Friday and

Saturday for romantic nights. They're gonna change the policy in some way because the amazing feedback they got this was a great move super Bowl attention. So that's that's only if they really do have this marketing plan in in effect. If they don't and this is just for real and it's just gonna stay that way, then something's gotta give. You need to change the name of your restaurant to

accommodate a more adult theme. So this way, when people to change their name to Stromboni scan Boni, that's what they're gonna change their name to So your call, your call is that come back by summer and the kids will be running rampant again. I think somebody thought it was a good idea for a day and then the backlash that hit them. They're gonna get the press. They they already have. They've gotten the press. It's already headline news. Okay,

I'm gonna go look at their yelled page. It's right up there with the the Oscar meyer Weener mobile got its catalytic converter stolen so they couldn't make it to the Super Bowl. I mean it was right there on ten ten winds. Sorry that happened. Nellie's Nettie Nettie, Nettie Nettie, Nettie's House, Spaghetti House of uh Jettie. On Yelp, let's see it gets a four point five. This is a this is an actual this is a good restaurant, solid food. I eat there. They got a four out of five.

I hate Yelp. Google ratings is more true. There's a reason why I'm going on Yelp, but did not go here for for accurate reviews. I'm going here. And by the way, the usual activity alert this business recently increased public attention, which often means people come to the page to post their views on the news while we don't take a stand one way or another one and as we temporarily disabled the posting of content to this page. I knew it. I knew it. Why because people are

gonna go there abash them about the kids policy. What about the other side of this coin, what about people that need I mean, every if you go to any restaurant, they all welcome kids. So can adults have a thing for themselves that this is if you live in this What if you live in this town and you and the kids go there and your kid's favorite piscati is Nettie's House of Spaghetti? Are you, Mama June staying in terms of the kids? The kids are like my favorite?

What do Mamma June call it? And and uh yeah, baby say yeah no kids yeah. But I once again it goes back to I'm sorry, Tommy, we can't go to Nettie's House of Spaghetti anymore because me, the mean man, decided he doesn't like you anymore. But I didn't make a mess. So while you're paying the price for every child the crux, no, but the crux of the problem is you didn't go through a name change. Shame on. You change your name to something more upper class or

something that more is more adult sounding. Nettie's Castle of Spaghetti. No, as I said's mansion. Maybe it's oh, Nettie's Exclusive Golf Club of Spaghetti. Maybe like all Frisco, or or something with the word pasta in it, or something that's not spaghetti, because Asta's house of postive think spaghetti, you think spaghetti, you think meatballs, you think kids? Do you think spaghetti? It's just it's a kid thing. I mean, what's the meat?

No I I I've never gone out of fancy for spaghetti because you slurp it, you get it all of yourself. Spaghetti is a fun kids food exactly. That's why there's a problem here. Change the name of the restaurant and then I think all your problems go away. Well, you can't change it. Now. Look at all the pressure getting and by the way, it's so much heat. Back to remember they're gonna change back to policy conspiracy theory. We

gotta take a break. What about ron Zoni? Uh? Are they're gonna bring back postina after they you heard about the pastina thing. We talked about that, and did we talk about it. Nobody was buying pustina until they said, we're not making pastin anymore. Yeah, but then anybody ran on got boxing. But now now they had a run on them and they're on eBay for like fucking fifty dollars a box. You can't find pastina Ronzoni pastina. I know Burilla makes postina and other companies do, but the

original Ronzoni pastina is no longer. And they said after people complained, sorry, they doubled down and they said, nope, we're not We're not making it anymore. See you later. It's being discontinued. And and and do you think that was smart? They start selling that pastina have price for Do you think they're gonna double Do you think they're gonna double back and be like ha ha, it was a marketing ploy. I don't think so. I think you know,

it depends on It depends on the feedback. Well, listen, TV shows get canceled all the time, people bring them back sometimes. I guess, all right, enough about pasta and spaghetti and never enough about pasta macaroni. The Book Boys podcast, We will be okay? Then I love man what everything we do revolves around food. If you think about it, it always comes back to food in some way, whether it does it though't pizza, or it's pasta or dil Alright, well okay, yeah, okay, Well you got into atil fight

on Twitter this weekend. I don't want to rehash yesterday. I don't want to rehash it are slices, no, I know, but you got it got it didn't get ugly, it just got I just I just threw some I threw some Jewish knowledge from Jewish websites right at her, because she said that dial is not used in Jewish cooking and you can't comment on it because you're not Jewish. Well, first of all, that's that's a terrible thing to say, because anyone could comment on anything if they do the

research and have the knowledge. I mean, you could point out thousands of experience is still different than going on a way. But that's the way it was in your We've come to terms that that's the way it was in her household, the same way it is in your household, the same way. You don't speak for the entire religion and meat balls. What was your meatball story? Now? I said, when it comes to meat balls. In my house, it was the holy trinity of making in the meatball making world,

and that is veal. That is veal chicken. I'm sorry, no, sorry, veal. I wanted to saying veal beef, no chicken, veal pork and beef veal, right, no cheat, no chicken, and and that used those three meats combined to make your meat balls as the base. So we don't speak in absolutes, but I figured out there as a comment, and then that's the way it was in my house. Now you could do it however the hell you want to do it, you know, okay, but but you hate dil. But you've

argued with me several times on this podcast. You just put Dylan their mountster ble soup. I'm just saying it sucks, right, I know, right, But you know there was a time where you said it's not used in traditional Jewish cooking. What the hell you when you were ripping off, ripping on Siddel's because they did that, you like, your comments exactly were this place is fake? Who puts dial in mounster ball soup as if to say it was not used in European cooking. It's a major, major, herb or whatever.

You okayisode they overdid it? Did it? Man? They might have overdone it. Still, let me ask you. Let me ask you a question not related to Dills. I was. I was in the drive through for for Duncan. My daughter asked me to pick her up a large iced tea with with a number of splendors. She likes four splendors. I think she likes six. Excuse me. So I pull up to the drive through and to the the speaker and I said, I had like a large iced tea with six blender. He says to me, would you like

that tea? Hotter iced? Wait a second, it was The answer is in the request. The answers in the request thank you wow, which I said, I think, Uh Well, I said, how do you recommend I take my iced tea? And he says, oh, man, yeah, oh, And but in his mind he's thinking, this guy's a fucking asshole. I okay, whatever, whatever, So I wasn't drinking it. Did you did you? Did you go to Duncan? Did you try the Cupids Choice donut? Oh? It's so good in the brownie battery? How would you

know you can't eat? And then I can't eat it, but I could talk about it. How did you have did you go? Did you get a Duncan refresher? No, I don't. I drink iced coffee there occasionally and occasionally get like um the egg white wrap or like if I really want to feel bad about myself, I'll have a sausage croissant or something. Well, now is the time that you don't eat the donuts. Duncan Donuts, Donut long came there and their coffee. Amazing love Duncan. Duncan's the

best hit the jingle, don't hit hit the jingle? What are you talking about? Your name and a sponsor? Was scary? You just happen to ask me if I like, if I like something?

Have you tried the broccoli? It's fantastic. You're going, no, I haven't tried to Wait a minute, bro do you didn't eat that? Oh my god. I knew right away it was a scam on your part. You're like, oh, it's really good, really yeah, really limited time only you haven't eaten in two months? You haven't. No,

What's the brownie and the Cupid's choice and the brownie bat the brownie batter? Donut is not looking for for adjectives. The cupids donut she called choice. He puts choice. Let me ask you a question. This is a delicious donut. I'm hearing right. What color is it? Well, it's got frosting, it's it's a regular. It's like a glazed donut in

this heart color like it's it's pink or white. It depends because you read the copy, but you didn't actually see you know, he's pink. It's pink which sprinkles? And is it? Is it heart shaped? It's a heart shaped donut. Yes, now you're getting ripped off like the hop shaped pizza. No. No, okay, well let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Riddle me this, batman. How many did you send Robin for Valentine's Day? I haven't done that because we we

haven't even seen each other yet. But you sent the flowers, you haven't seen her. Send the donuts or whatever and send her why they're delicious? Are you in situating they're not healthy? No? No, no, she doesn't. She's gonna eat a dozen by herself. I mean that's that's probably should have done that. You're right, I'll run I'll run them

over because America runs on Duncan. That's right. So I think you should do for Valentine's Day, center up with some of those great delicious Duncan of scariest choice donuts. Duncan You want those sweeter on sweeten, by the way, you want that iced tea hotter iced? Big? Yeah? Yeah yeah. I did get into a fight at the bank yesterday, um over money. No, so with the with the teller? Was it because your account was overdrawn, as you wanted ten dollars pulled out of your account. Not the case, okay.

So I needed to write a bunch of checks this week from an account. I couldn't find the checkbook okay, and I couldn't transfer from what I didn't want to try. I wanted to write a check from a certain bank account for certain reasons, okay, And so I couldn't find my checkbook. So I went into the branch and I said, hey, uh, Now there's three tellers. Older woman on the left, young young young teller in the middle, and a guy on the right. So the guy calls me up to the window.

There's a tall gentleman, not the guy from the burlesque show, but a tall gentleman at the middle, the middle teller, the young girl, and the older woman is just I don't counting money. She's not helping anybody at the moment. So I say to the guy, hey, man, I need um I need six um temporary checks, you know. So they what they do is they print checks your account number on them, but not your name, and this way

you can use them until your checks arrived. So I said, I'd like to order checks twelve dollars whatever, and I need six of the instant checks temporary checks. He says, well, um, I'm mon't allowed to give you three. I said, why can't you give me six? Yeah, I'm mont allowed to give you three. So so uh, I said, okay, okay, I don't see where this is going. By the way, Well, so I say to myself, well, I'll just have to come back tomorrow. We got to three. I need six.

So the guy next to me says, yeah to his teller. I got a question. I also need temporary checks, but I need I need like ten. So if I can only get three, how long before I can come back and get three more? Now, the woman in the end, the older woman, looks up and she says, sir, they're temporary checks. You get three, So what are they having a run on paper? I don't understand they physically they can't give you more than three checks. It's your account.

You should have unlimited. When you buy the whole checkbook, you get fucking it doesn't matter. You can order hundreds and hundreds. What is it really going to set them back if you have three more pieces of paper? So I said, you know what? To be honest, miss I also have that question. Is it three per month or can I come back tomorrow and get three more? Because I don't live far from here, sir, they're temporary checks.

You can order order yourself checks. And I said, I already did order myself checks, but I need six today. I need them before the checkbook or it's your it's your account, and there's proposed to be working for you and helping you write if you want to pull money out of your account and you don't have a temporary check. By the way, why why are we talking about writing checks? To listen, I don't want to get into that part.

I have to che you understand. I understand certain it's it's it's somebody I have to pay money to that only accepts check. Understood. I understanding companies, tax purposes, different things. Slices are wondering right now, one of the check to the I R s. I gotta write check. I get it, I got it. I'm going to shop right And the fact is the fact that they did that to you, they would lose my cut. That would lose my service right there, that my account. I said, you're not answering

my question. I need to know if I can come back tomorrow and get three more if it's three a day. She says, Sir, they're temporary checks. That means they're temporary. I said, so you're explaining to me what the word temporary means. Sir. You get three checks and then you can order checks if you need more. I said, okay, but you didn't answer my ques, Sir, I answered your question. You're not listening to me, so I so, I said, oh, I'm hearing you. I'm hearing his sassin attitude because I'm

being nice to you. I just want to know, yes, I said, I just want to know, man, And I was being trying to me as nice as I could. And the guy next to me, he's like, yeah, answer the man's question, because he had the same question. I said, Look, I'm not looking to fight with you. I just want to know if I can come in tomorrow or a week from now, when my checks still haven't arrived because it takes two to three weeks, if I can get

three more checks exactly. So, she says, maybe you didn't hear me, tell Berary and you can order a book. Not answering. Not answering your question, She's not. She's just asked that question, I said, I don't know if your cardigan is too tight or what. What I'm asking you a very polite question. I know they're temporary. Please stop telling me I can order checks. You know why. I already ordered the checks. Ma'am. I already ordered the checks.

But I need six checks from this bank before they arrive. What do I have to say to you to get six checks? That's it? Or tell me if I can come tomorrow. Are you working tomorrow, because if you're not, I'll come tomorrow. And she says, well, if you want six checks, I'll get your six checks. I said, well, that was nice of you, Thank you very much. Just all you have to do is ask him to get an attitude. So the guy says he didn't get an attitude. He asked you. He asked you four times how to

get checks, and you refuse to answer him. So so who's wrong there? So she says, well, I guess I misunderstood the question. Scary did it sounds like she misunderstood the question. She refused to answer you no, no shot because you repeated yourself several times. Oh my god. And by the way, I think the only time I went into a bank in the last two years is to uh cash in my rolled up change. I rolled, I did my change rolling thing, and I went into I got I had to get five rappers for pennies there

of two. No, there was no limit. That was that what they were given away like crazy. And then she says to me, I'm sorry, sir, would you like a lollipop? I said, yes, how many can I take? So she laughed and I took. I took three. I said, one for each check. And then she ended up giving me six. Okay, not a big fucking deal to give me six, that's right. It never was a print button. Oh my god. I have a similar story that happened to a friend of mine.

And he was out to lunch and wanted one of those salads and then ordered, you know how you could add up char charge for chicken or shrimp or beef. So he wanted. He wanted chicken, but he wanted double chicken, so he said so he said, all right, great, I'll take the chicken, but I want I want double chicken. So and they're like, we don't do that here, what do you don't do that? Like, yeah, the dinner that's like a dinner portion size. Uh, the chicken is half

a portion, and he goes, I know that. So if it's six dollars extra for chicken, charge me twelve. I'm sorry, we can't. We can't do that. They refused at this place to give him a double order a chicken, and only because shrimp and what beef? Beef? All right, so charge me for beef. But instead of the beef, give me the goddamn chicken. Exactly exactly. He wanted double chicken. And some people it just there's no logic in their brain. It did two and two is five or nothing. Nothing

makes any sense. But why would anybody, why would anyone want to double chicken? We don't. He's also denying the restaurant extra profit. The man wants chicken. You have the chicken back there, Sell the man an extra piece of chicken. You say, give me another salad, hold the salad. Just yeah. There's a great scene, and I think it's the movie is called Twelve Easy Pieces with Jack Nicholson. It's from

the nineties seventies. But if you could look up the chicken salad sandwich scene from I think it's from Twelve Easy Pieces. Um, how he gets the food he wants is very similar to that, they won't make the food the way he wants. So Jack Nicholson tells the wages what he wants and tells her to hold this, hold that, and she goes, what do you want me to do with the chicken? He goes, I don't give you. Hold it between your legs, but don't bring it to me.

He wanted toast, He wanted like he wanted, like dry right toast. She as, we don't serve that, don't serve that? Said, can I get a chicken salad sandwich on, hold on, on on the whole week toast whatever. She goes, Yes, he was great, Then give me a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat toast. Hold hold the tomato, hold the chicken salad, and just just bring me the toast exactly basically that's it. But he doesn't much better because he's Jack Nicholson. Of course, Oh my god, all right, I

have a headache. People are just sorry. Sorry, it's okay, it's okay. Listen. We'll we'll get we'll get by somehow, somehow we do. We're not gonna get by. We're not. I'm not gonna get pie. You know it, I know it you're not. I don't know. You're okay, Bertie. Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay. Uh. I can't seem to find so I I had three pages open to read stuff, and I can't find one of the pages that closed.

Hold on, let's see what's this page? Oh there it is? Yeah, yeah, um, I wanted to tell you about Oh you know what, I have a very similar story about ordering things and they're not giving you what you want. So I ordered Thai food a couple of weeks ago. And this Thai restaurant is located in an alleyway, not like a like a scary alleyway, but it's like a walk through. So there's two main business streets in this town, and there's

a walk through to get to the Thai restaurant. And if you didn't know where it was, you'd never find it because your NAV system takes you to the beginning of the alleyway, but you don't realize it's in the alleyway. So I went there, I called in my order, and you know, I ordered everything with no vegetables because that's how I roll. And I parked my car about a

half a block from the alleyway and it's raining. And I walk all the way in up the block in the rain, all the way up the alleyway, which is almost the length of a block, and I go to the Thai restaurant. I said, uh. They said, oh, we'll be there, be there in twenty minutes. So uh, I got there in thirty minutes. I took my time make sure it was ready, and uh I walked there. It was like be three minutes by the time I got

in from what I ordered. So the guy the uh, the woman at the counter says, uh, the orders is not ready yet. We're very busy. There was nobody there, okay, so maybe they were delivering. That's fine. Uh. So I she said, what was your phone number? I said, I give her the phone number, and I said she was okay, great. I got drunk in noodles and something called pat suka. Who yep. So I got two dishes and I got

right back right I got. I got fried rice with pineapple and like a tie rice whatever it is, with cash shoes and pineapple. So they gave me the bag. Finally after another ten minutes, and now it's forty minutes or so after I ordered. When I said twenty minutes, not no problem, and they have a table there, you know, in the restaurants. I put my bag down and I'm like, you know, I'm gonna check the food because it's a

long walk in the alley. It walked to my car, and I don't want to have to walk all the way twice, so I pack. I unpacked the bags right there, and I see that the drunken noodles. I'm sorry, the pads CEU has vegetables in it. So I say, I say, excuse me, um, this has vegetables. I'm sorry. I ordered everything without vegetables, can you Uh he's up, so sorry,

I'll make that for you again. Okay. So now it's ten more minutes because they're busy, and I'm looking as he comes back, I go to put I'm looking at the uh, the pads, the drunken noodles, and I see it as a basil in it. Now I don't like basil. I don't like the taste of basil. I don't like basil. Okay, So so I didn't realize the basil. So I put the food back in the bag and I get in the car and like I'm gonna eat them in the car. Because I was hungry, and I opened up the drunken

noodles as basil in it. So I go all the way back in the rain in the alley, way up the thing, and I said, excuse me him, sorry to bother you again, but the drunken noodles has basil. He says, oh, yeah, it comes with basil. I said, I know, but I ordered everything without vegetables. And he says, I know what he's gonna say. He says, you could try. Basil is not a vegetable. No, he doesn't say that. It gets worse. He says, it comes with basil. I said, I know,

but I ordered it without vegetables. Basil is a vegetable, right, He says, oh yes, But if I don't put the basil in, it tastes different. And I said, I know. I don't like basil. I don't want it to taste like basil. That's why I ordered it with no vegetables. He goes, but the recipe calls for basil. I said, not my recipe. I don't want to taste of basil in my drunken noodles. He said, well, next time, you have to specify. I did specify. I said, no vegetables, sir,

is not, by the way. I wasn't yelling at him. I said, can we just clarify? Is basil vegetable? Yes? Well, then no vegetables doesn't mean no vegetables except the one you think is important for the taste of the problem is basil is really a spice or it's a garnish. It's not really a vegetable. And and I mean it has a little bit of taste to it, of course, But why don't you give the guy a break? I did give him a break. I was nice about it. I'm not gonna this doesn't sound nice. It sounds very

very abrupt. Okay, I'm saying calm, calmer than certainly describing it because I'm like mayby soft herbs such as basil, parsley, chives, and deal they are all considered vegetables. All right, I'm online loud looking it up. My point is I was very nice about it, so I don't say anything to him. I don't ask him for anything. He comes out and he says, I'm sorry about the basil, and he gives me a card which he signed and said, off your next order. Wow, that's some expensive fucking basil on the

part of the restaurant. You know what, it couldn't be nicer and I will be going back there. Okay. The point is it isn't up to the chef to determine what he finds to be important. Well, that's debatable because you go to some restaurants, David Brodie, and you go to some places and they tell you to go take a long walk off a short pier if you don't like the way they cook. I mean, you know, there was a place that I guess, our good friend Mark.

There was a place that our good friend Mark for Gione opened up in the North Jersey and uh, this place, you know, he wanted to make like his Mark for Gione signature places. They were you know again, I don't want to speak out of turn here, but uh, it was a restaurant what we do here on the Brook Boys, but we just kind of but basically this restaurant was awesome. And he he is a master chef. He's won awards. He's James Beard, I guess, and he won if you

google him, yeah, if you google him. He's known for some certain dishes, signature things, and he loves to make the melody of tastes in your mouth. Just yeah, just all like burst with different flavors and all go togethers and compliments. So he has got a restaurant, a beautiful called restaurant for you on awesome place in Lower Manhattan and tried back how he named it. If if you can actually get a chance to go there, you should um.

And then he did this restaurant concept something similar up in North Jersey, and what ended up happening was the people's palates they're a little bit more mainstream. So I'm guessing again this is now just me, this is hearsay.

The menu items had well, I saw the menu items had changed from the day that they opened the restaurant to several months later, because I went back and a lot of the stuff that we had ordered in this first couple of days were no longer there, or had been kind of I'm not gonna say watered down, but kind of marginalized or neutralized or moved toward a more

mainstream feel. They removed the fanciness to it, and that was because that area, that neighborhood dictated, hey, we don't want fancy ship, and they probably we got sick of people ordering stuff and like David, A bunch of David Brodie's in the restaurant say I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to. You know, I could just picture all David Brodie's like all remember the I'm Slim Shady, I'm the real slim Shitty video, And it's all Eminem's,

Marshall Mathers, it's all David Brodie in your restaurant. Restaurant full of Brodie's that are just pretty much saying I can't have I don't want that. You know what, No, I can't do this, And basically it changes the complexion of the entire dish and to a point where you pretty much throw your hands up in the air, are and and say like like like Brodie is something that

it's like you give up. You give up on the situation you can because you're like so you change it, You alter and you change the you know what what your offerings are, and you adapt so that an entire neighbor hood can dictate that. See what I'm saying is you go to some of these fancy places and they'll tell you that no. You know, the waiter will give you push back. I wonder if you've ever encountered that

have you. We are a restaurant with a way to will be like, yeah, the chef really suggests this and we really don't do it, and they pretty much flat out tell you know. I went to one restaurant I told this story in a town nearby. It was called something Street was the name of the restaurant on a Bourbon street, and I don't remember. There was something something

like that, and they didn't advertise this policy. But when I got there, uh, there was something like, you know, they like you could do a different side order, so like if you ordered steak, he got potatoes and whatever, corn or whatever. But I wanted something that wasn't the steak, and that particular dish, let's say, came with asparagus and something else. So I said, hey, listen, instead of the asparagus, can I just get mashed potatoes? And he went, oh, yeah,

no substitutions, But we don't do something stitutions. You look at the bottom of the menu, the bottom of the menu, in little font it said no substitutions. So I said, well, I'm not looking to get like spaghetti, you know, like I just I want one side dish instead of the other. Yeah, we can't do that. I said, So you can't scoop potatoes onto my plate instead of asparagus. No, the menu was all put together. There's a lot of thought that goes into the menu. I said, well, you didn't put

it on. I thought this was a place that wanted customers. I don't want asparagus, so I can see what you can have it without the asparagus. I go, but you won't. You won't put potatoes on my plate. Well would you have? What about for an up charge? Was it a price thing? No, I asked that question. I said, if the potatoes are more expensive, charge me. Well that I that I agree with you. The chef doesn't make exceptions. I agree. Said great, we'll never be back. And so I said, you know what,

we have appetizers. We'd already had the appetizers. My wife looked at me, like, let's go. We packed up the appetizers and went for dinner up the block. We left left in the middle. But don't, no, don't even bring the entrees. Forget it. We'll take the appetizers. No, thank you. And you guess what. Within within like six months, they're

out of business. They're gone. Yeah, Well that I agree with you with because it's separate to me, chef, well know to me that is okay, So they're I kind of see what they're saying on this one, but I don't agree with it because if you want to sub out a car for a vegetable, you should be able to do that or vice vice versa. What you did, Um, I just think that the chef is thinking, well, this pairs well with that, So that great. So my month pairs well with the food if you would give it

to me. Yes, So with with that, I agree with you, like you should be able to sub out certain things because you don't like if you're going to separate, separate restaurant if the food is exists on its own and your plate with and co exists with another food on the plate. Yes, However, when you ask them to change the specific dish because you don't like to wear the chicken is marinated or you don't like that, they absolutely. That's where I that's where I have to disagree with you.

But and I'm sure that you've done that as well. And it's the kitchen. It depends. It depends on the place. Like I think I told you, we went to, Um, we went to Seasons fifty two. I told you that we had some problems there. But one of the things I did it was like it was like a some kind of chicken dish that had like it was chickens stacked with something else on top. And I changed the thing. I didn't want to red pepper o I think, and

they did. It was like, oh, no problem. But if they have to start from if they have to start from scratch and change the ingredients in the middle, oh I wouldn't do that. Then then change because the chef is also, if you think about it, has his palate, his canvas, and he's trying to paint a picture with his food, and there's a complexion to the food, so you're altering it completely with different ingredients. Speaking of chefs, a good chef will always taste their food. Would you agree? Okay?

And I watched The Bear, which is a fantastic show. Fantastic show. I think it's on Hulu. The Bear fantastic um. However, what some chefs do, and what I did when I worked in kitchens, is you taste. You taste the food with a spoon or whatever, and then you you put the spoon in the sink. How else would you do times or sometimes they taste it with a spoon and they'll ask another person in the kitchen to taste it, and sometimes the spoon goes back in the big pot

of sauce. I don't need I've worked in restaurants. I've seen it, but I I don't need. Is it okay if it's the chef? Is it okay if it's the chef? Because what happens is they're making sauce, right, and they taste it. They need a little more pepper, and they'll put the pepper in and what do they do. They gotta taste it again. They don't go for another spoon. They're like, fucking, I'm cooking it. The heat will kill

the germs. Is that okay? No, it's very unsavory. I don't suggest it, and I don't want to know if you did it. I see this is one TI what well? He ordered a long Island ice taste scary, And the bartender was like, I wonder if I put enough of whatever and they took a sip of it first, would that be okay? Alcohol kills germs. But they don't do that.

You know what they do? They put a straw in it cut, cut the top of the straw with their their top fingers so the liquid doesn't leave the bottom, and then they take it from the bottom of the straw. They let they take their finger away from the top hole, and then they it goes into their mouth. That's how they tested. I see it every time. Yeah they don't. They just sipped it. No, no, unacceptable. Bartender has worked in the back. They would, They absolutely would, They probably would.

I don't want to know what goes on in the kitchen. All I know is you were the kitchens. You were told to pick stuff up off the floor. No I was not. No I was not. No I was. I'm not saying where you were, not the place you always talk about the other place. No, couldn't. I couldn't do it with a good conscious. Anyway, we're talking about altering food. Yeah, I'm a might not the biggest defender of that right now. The fact that I'm on this crazy die it that

I have to you. You're You're like Sally from when Harry met Sally. When we I've been in a restaurants, You're like, uh, yeah, can I have the caesar salad with no dressing and with chicken but the chicken has to be grilled, but not in butter. You can maybe like boil it. I'll take it boil, but I can't have any butter or oil. Maybe a table spoilt, but I can't have any oil at all, So make it water. Yeah, you're crazy about that. Get get order a dish. Pretend

we're in a restaurant. Order a dish. Go ahead, ask all the questions. Let's let's let the slices in on the program. I'm in this crazy diet right now, so how can I help you? What would you like? What would you like? Would you like to order your dinner? You ready to order? Yeah? Alright, So I'm on this crazy diet right now. And this is gonna sound weird, but I'm not allowed to have any carbs or sugar or oh that's fine. Sorry here that all the time. And um, I'm not allowed to have any any butter

or oil. So I'm gonna ask butter or oil? No, I heard you, I'm playing the waiter. Okay, yeah, no butter or oil. So I would like to know is there anything that I can eat on this menu that the kitchen maybe be able to prepare specially for me that won't require butter or oil. Sir, this is a five star restaurant. Get the funk out. That was very abrupt. Well, sometimes you gotta be don't come into my fancy restaurant and expect us to cook it just for you. It's

one thing you don't want asparagus. You don't want anything. Hey, we have just a couple of talkbacks this week, and then I know you have a story. Should we get the So if you are, we need to also visit the fucking seventy seven hot line? What happened to that one? Oh yeah, we have to check that we haven't checked it in a f you seven. We'll do that one next week. Okay, we'll check that all right, you got it? All right. But and you've been listening on I Heart radio.

You know that you have this cool little feature which just gives you the advantage over Spotify and Apple and any other way you will listen to this podcast, and that is there's a microphone there. So on the microphone, hold it down and give us a talk back. This is one that just came in. We have not previewed any of this ship and it scares me. So let's just roll it with it. Shall we Hi Brooklyn boys.

Coming from someone who was in an eight year relationship and just got cheated on, UM, I kind of can't do that. I'm just walking away without it and it is what it is. But Bertie and scary nice. Well she's right twice. Well, yeah, you goes back to that goes back to our coworker, your coworker on the morning show who demanded money back for

things when he cheated on her. She wanted like uber money back, right, she wanted all the money's and uh he actually sent some of it back. Is another talkback. This thing is very fidgety today. What's up with that? What's up with that? Is calling from Grand Rapids. I'm commenting on the old man walking through Brodie's backyard. That is insane. That is trespassing and people have been shot

for less scary. If you think you would be so friendly, what if an older man just climbed into your BMW would you just look at him and say, hey man, you need a ride. That's a great point. It's a great point, but there's a big difference between acres and acres of property in a forest and my BMW. I don't have acres and acres and forest. I have my property. He walked through the forest and then ended up in my backyard. Second, the tone that's on the Big Show

is a little bit of a turnoff. There should be no man bashing. Okay, Tommy Lee is packing, and if it was the the way around and anybody was saying anything negative about any appendant john a woman, it would be unacceptable and it would never happen. Take care all right, talking about uh my our discussion on Tommy Lee releasing more Dick pics on his social media, and uh I had to say it was impressive, but then it was marginalized by some of the women on the show and

other members of the show. So well, I think said that that gentleman. First of all, Brodie and Scary all day love that. But I think I think he brings up a good point. He said, if it was the other way around, people would get offended. I think if we talked about the women on the morning shows penis size, they would be offended. I agree completely. I kind of see what he's saying if it's one way but not the other, and you're like, okay, Upton, her booms aren't

that big? I've seen better. We said that it would be like, oh, so it's okay, it's okay to talk about guys, but not the thing that's his boy, that's his point. It wasn't. It wasn't like looking at a guy's bulge and commenting on it. Tommy Lee puts his penis on uh Twitter or Instagram whatever? Uh he's asking for commentary, of course he is. So I feel like it's okay to give commentary right once somebody asks, but don't say understate it. That's that was my whole point.

Don't understate it. It's it's the Morning Show. I've seen fifteen inch penises and a twelve thirteen inches and't that impressive? God bless him? Anyway, Moving on, who's looking at fifteen inch penises? Uh? Me and the shower when I'm alone? What does that look like? Jesus well, I'll show you later. Boom boys, no offense. Alve Brody, looking through his phone trying to find the difference between Zales, Jared and Kay was exactly like my friends looking through his phone find

whatever he was and didn't find the answer. But you're not flamboyant, not a flamblank guy. Flamboyant flamboyant or that cross through. So one of us as well, that guy standing right at the end there said like he was scrolling through his phone kind of If you don't know Mike Frances, google and watch him. So he was on television and the radio at the same time, and he was mumbling to himself and there was no one else talking. It wasn't like Scary was filling in the blanks for him.

So what I did was similar, but he was just okay, all right, all right, Yeah, we have laws. We don't edit out the laws. That's another thing. Should we should we make this a more polished podcast and edit out dead spaces and we could do that, but I just think it sounds I don't know, it sounds unauthentic. Let me ask you a question. Should we take out the twenty minute boring asked part of the show where you talked about espresso ten minutes ago. He's kidding from you

don't hear it? Then Scary took it out. He's kidding, it never happened. No, take it out Okay, it's scared. In referenced episode to six, Brody just asked a question, when is your last day? I'm assuming it's Brody's asking when he's the last day of your dr fat loss. Your response was before I go on vacation that following Friday. When is that? I don't know when you going, Vick. I mean, it's not that important, but man makes it clear. We're listeners by the time, by the time getting very techtcal.

By the time you hear this, I'm already gone. Okay, So Friday, February, February, February sev Yeah, February, which is like tomorrow. If you're hearing this on I hope, I hope we to hear the full story on this podcast scary at some point. I hope so too. Yeah, the whole trip Fication story. Hey, what's up, Brooklyn boys, it's Brandon. Uh. This is in regards to Rhodie. You said, thank you, my birthday was four days ago, and you took your

wife's birthday thunder. I think that's like a five out of ten, honestly, because when you're in the moment and someone's talking to you like that, you don't really think about it. Kind of like how when someone at the movie theater says, like, you know, enjoy your movie, and you say you too, You're like, oh, ship, you know, it's just it just happened. I don't think it's a

b Yeah, he's right, yeah, he's right. Like well, you know, like when when when you say to people, uh you respond or you say, uh, um, hey, listen, uh have a good day at work tomorrow, they go you too, and I go, I'm not working right, yeah, right yeah, Or when they say have a nice flight behind the counter and I saw you too, I'm like, wait, they're not flying. They're just gonna get the next light ready. They're sitting right here in New York. Carol, you have

to oh you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. H Merry Christmas. YouTube Scary and Brodie, Brodie and Scary. This is actually from Omaha, Nebraska. Just soon to talk back. In regards to Brodie calling it and getting discounts on all of his services, I did the same thing today on my WiFi. I was nicely complaining to them about how I keep dropping connection. They offered me a thirty dollar a month. Didn't count for the next two years,

as well as upgraded internet services um for Speedwise. So I was pretty proud of myself with that. That's so I may have to read her book. That's great. I love when people get free dessert. Yes, there your talkbacks for the week. All right, we are we are we done with breaks. That's scary. So you you may remember slices. I'm sure you do a lot of you listen more

than once. I told you about an experience. I had it for a t G I Fridays, oh, about six months ago, right at this point, maybe it's almost a year. And the guy, the guy they had messed up my tig to go over three times. And at first the manager gave me a card out of his personal supply of cards, and he said, here, I'm gonna give you this.

I'm so sorry for your trouble. And he he put his name on it and and he signed it his name and the date, and he because it was a black little uh coop like a business card, but it was a coupon. It was a business card size and had a white box on it, and in the white box he signed his name. He said, this is good for an entree on appetizer next time you come in. It's good. It's good any time you want to use it. And then when when did he give it you? When

did he give it to you? It doesn't expire, that's not part of the story. So so I said, okay, great. He said he used anytime, and I said, sir, that that's great. And then he went and got my order and they messed it up again, and that's when he said, you know what I'm gonna just get and he gave me a hundred dollars in gift cards, but I still had the coupon he gave me after the first mistake or so, my buddy Jeff and I were going out to dinner and he I said, well, why don't we

go to Friday's. It's over, it's near where we have to go. H We were going somewhere to his mechanic, I said, oh, it is a Friday's right there. Why don't we go there? This's great. I said, I have a coupon for a free entree appetizer. I'll either get three months row sticks, i' figure out what I want, but let's go there. He's all right, great, so we go and there's a host gentleman there. Uh. Look he

wasn't a kid working there. He looked like he was in his thirties or forties, but he was working the door in a very loud blazer on very loud blazer. So I was like, oh, that guy's the host. Whatever, okay, So he shows me to the table. We sit down at the booth and we're maybe from the host to stand. We're not very far into the restaurant, and the waitress comes over, a very nice waitress, and she says, Hi, can I get guess on the drink? And I said, uh, yeah,

you know, we'd like some drinks. And I said, listen before we order, I have this coupon and it says good for a free appetizer or entree, and it says I can use it on anything except like the ambo basket of appetis of course the one that's the most expensive, right, she says, yep, I said, can you do me a favor before I order something that I wouldn't because you know, when I figured scary, you know this, when it's free, you might take a chance on something you wouldn't normally eat,

absolutely or something more expensive, right, right? So I was like, you know, right, exactly exactly the most expensive, you can because an idiotic coupon free appetizer or entree. U right, helloa's getting the getting the appetizer at that point, right. So I said, do me a favor. Can you just check to make sure that this is good? I said, it was signed by your general manager about a year ago.

There's no expiration date. But before I place an order for something more expensive maybe or larger, I take leftovers home. I don't want to like order and you like the coupon. I love how you're teeing this up because I know this is just gonna go horribly bad in another My stories come on never So she comes back. She says, yeah, I spoke to my manager. It's all good. I said, okay, great, no problem. Con from shore, I ordered the mozarella sticks. Jeff,

what is what he wants to order? Comes back for the entree order and I said, is what would you like fear entre? I said, you know what, since I'm getting a free entree, I will have the rack of ribs and shrimp. The of course, which was the second most expensive thing on the man Dover soul. You don't know the fish. There was a fish dish that was more money but I think I think this was like thirty four dollars whatever, and I've never had the ribs and the shrimp, have the halibut, just for the halibt

HElib Yeah, so I ordered. I ordered the ribs and the shrimp and the mozzarella sticks and the mozarell sticks, like twelve dollars. By the way, I have a hunch where this is going. Already ahead, okay, So we ordered the food, said we get to check. Everything's great. She's a great waitress whatever. And she comes back. She was here you go. I said, great, I said, you took off the used the coupon. Yep, absolutely where this going? She took off? Okay, okay, So so I saw, I

look at the check and she took off. So it's like, I call her back and I said, hey, listen, I'm really sorry to bother you. But the coupon that I gave her, because I'd already given to the coupon was for a free entre or appetizer, and I would like to use it on the entree. As we discuss the thing is, she says. So, she says, don't they She says, hold on, I'll double check. He must the wrung it wrong. So she goes back to the back of the restaurant.

She comes back, she says, my manager says, the coupon is for the appetizer, not the entree. I said, now, wait a minute. I checked with you beforehand. I asked you to ask a manager, and I only ordered the very expensive ribs and shrimp because you told me just well, I'll have to go. I'll go ask him. So the manager comes over, guy named Louise, and he says, can I help you, sir? Yeah, you took all the mozarella sticks. But I had a coupon for a free entree or appetizer,

and I specifically asked if he used for the entree. No, So there's the the coupons for an appetizer. I said it right there. It says it on the coupon and it was signed by your GM. I don't know if he's still here or not, but at the time, the GM signed it and it said good for And I said,

that's why I asked. I asked, because it's appetizing. What if you didn't order the mozarella sticks and you just ordered the ribs, I guarantee you He would have been like, oh, okay, Entre No, he said no. He says, sir, we don't have coupons that's say entre or appetizer. I said, I don't care if you do or not today. But when I had a problem, I got the coupon. I gave it and I asked I did all them, I did everything to avoid this. He says, sir, I'll go get your coupon improve it to you. So he goes in

the back. He comes back with the the black coupon and he puts it on the table. He says, look right there, good for one appetizer. I looked at him. I said, you are absolute right, sir. That coupon says group for one appetizer is the problem. The wrinkled up in my wallet for a year card that had the manager's signature in the white box. This isn't the one I gave you. So your bait and switch isn't gonna work on me. Go in the back and get the coupon I gave you that said free appetite. Don't go

and get a coupon that fits. What a fucking asshole? I said, Are you kidding to me what he lied to you? He fucking tried to. He tried to, he beat and switched you. So he says, all the coupons are the same. I said, no not, because the one that was in my pocket had the car. The corners were all fraid and I had a had a sharpie signature in blue and it said entree or appetizer and I confirmed it with your waitress screenshot before he gave

it to a motherfucker's So. So the guy in the the defender of fucking t g I Friday's Justice, he is he one of the co owners of the place. Kat of the guy, I said, I said, you're either gonna take my entree off the meal or I'm not paying for the check because I cleared this beforehand. So the manager in the so, the guy in the loud coat comes over and he says, can I help you? I said, yeah, this guy is bait and switching me on the coupon. I had a coupon. He says, yeah,

I'm the one who approved it. I said, are you a manager? Yes, I am. I said, well, when I said, well, when when you I asked for the manager, she went and got this guy and I pointed at him like he was nobody. I go you were right there the whole time. She's like, oh, I didn't see him over there, I said. So he says, Louise, I approved the coupon, and that's not the coupon he gave me. He goes go get the coupon he handed him with the check. So Luise goes in the back with the coupon. He goes, oh,

I'm terribly sorry. What a fun agredient. So I said great, I said, so, I said, you know what, I would like my Mozarla sticks for free now too, because I'm aggravated. And he goes, yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm terribly sorry. So I got the whole meal for free. Yes, yes, And the irony is I got the coupon because they fucked up Mike to go on a three times and they couldn't even get there and the guy comes out with a different coupon. You would have been upset. I wouldn't.

I'm you fry an egg on my head right now. I'm so upset for you. I'm seething with anger. That that's and he putting on the table. He did the double tap with his finger. He went right there. It says free appetizer and I went bullshit right there, that's not my coupon. Bullshit. Wow, get him Brodie, Oh my god, that's crazy. Is that the bullshit police? Yes, at the alarm of yeah, it must have before I forget fuck you, Louise. Yeah, and doesn't Louise have repercussions for for lying and embarrassing

you a customer? I mean, his boss has to like punish. The guy in the loud jacket was obviously a higher ranking manager because he told him to go in the back and get the coupon, and he gave what he said. He goes, that's not the coupon he gave him, Dude, he pulled out a brand new coupon out of his stack of coupons. He's like, the coupon doesn't say that. I it doesn't. That's not my coupon. I gotta cool down. I gotta cool down, all right. That was That's the

one I almost told last week. I didn't get to it, so I apologize, slices. I hope that was worth the way. It sure was, But that really happened. This is the life I live. We're gonna try it again. We're gonna get ready yet Yeah? Ready? Three two one b Brooklyn Boys, Brooklyn Up Boys,
