#248: What Are You Putting In The BOX?!!?

I got no stress. But we did a piss poor job of letting you know we didn't have an episode last week's slices, So we both apologize. Wait a second, nobody told anyone that we were going away. I forgot and you forgot, and um, like Wednesday, I was ready to do a podcast. I'm like, oh, we're not doing one. How long did you sit here, oh with the mic open waiting for me to turn mine on? Yeah? No, I didn't sit here. No no, no, no no no. You saw my Instagram, right, you saw that I was away.

I was posting up from Cabo. No, hello, Brodie, I muted yourself. Brody, I'm back. What happened. Well, how do you tell me? Oh, I don't know. Oh you know what. I tapped my computer right whether the mouse was on the microphone logo and I muted it. Sorry, Brodie, did you need a crash course in working the equipments? We've all been gone for a week. Really, you want to pull back the curtain? Scary? No, I think we're going

now we have to, Yes, we do. So. I accidentally tapped the mic and muted my button and he's getting all snarky with me. But slice is what you didn't know? What you're gonna know now, which we weren't going to tell you is scary. And I recorded like twelve minutes of the podcast and then he says, oh, hold on, Brody. I go, well, you have a phone call. He goes, hold on, damn it. What he says, your microphone wasn't recording, so it's all just his audio. So what I'd like, scared?

Did you erase the audio or did you keep it? It's gone? I was gonna say we should post the audioviere you talking to me not on the mic? No, that's shit, that's garbage. So you fucked up a codulations to t White CD White Junior Senior Senior. Yeah, who has your old three point nine million dollars a sound system? That's right, T White, one of the slices bought my old Roadcaster Pro, the first one and the one that worked, the one that has my fingerprints all over it and

has recorded award winning episodes of this very podcast. That piece of equipment, that machinery right there, that that is now belonged to ty T White and T White. Now, I guess is gonna start his own podcast series using my old equipment and worship nothing but luck, and we'll mention what it is when he got he's live and up and running absolutely and thank you so much. And we gave him a great price for it, we did so.

Uh yeah, so for the most part, Yeah, if we're gonna be honest about about this whole thing really quickly, Um, I forgot Brodie's mic was not on the on the recording, so it was just me and now on my headphones, I'm talking to Brodie. We're having a conversation. Yea. If we would have had some brilliant lines, if I would have played it back for everyone, it would just be me talking one side, and you would have had to fill in the blank on what Brodie was trying to

say back. In fact, you know, we might have been fun. We might have gained more listeners if I aired that that was a joke. Berdie. I think this license will let you know that that's not the case. That was your cute to laugh. We all might laugh, which I was waiting for the funny party room. So yeah, so we apologize that we didn't talk to you guys about

about not being on last week. But I'm on vacation, uh in a few weeks, so we'll figure out what we're doing and then there's no more vacations for a while right here, and I don't go on vacation at the same time anymore. So yeah, so it's uh, it's difficult. Well, we'll sync up, we'll figure away, we'll make get through this. Yeah, I yelled at my wife and not planning out our family vacation at the same time that Scary went to Cabo. Yeah, Cabo, speaking of what a great time. I gotta say shout

out to me Cabo Resort. Uh. They they really were an amazing, an amazing uh solution for me because it looked amazing. It was hate to use that word. It was so peaceful. It was an adults only. They had these club vibes during the daytime by the pool. It was just relaxing, but it had just enough adult scary

party time but not too crazy turned up. And then they had their Taboo Day Club, which it was called Taboo Day Club and it's a you know, basically they have like dancers and you know, they have a saxophonist that comes in, a flutist, a violinist I mean that that plays to the music. Um. And it looked incredible, it really did. I was I was thinking I would plan a trip there. That's how much that that whatever that was that you went, what did you what did

you say? It was again it's called me cabo and it was icabou cabo. No, No, it's m e me cabo, me cabo, me cabo me jane. It's like you cabo, right, but cabo means cape, yes, which means little peninsula, right. And you know it's called los cabos, meaning the two cabos, because is that what los los means the many cabos. It doesn't want too well to dos cabos means too the cabos plural, so basically, I went to Cabo San Lucas, which is the party side. Oh your nephew's name, Yes, exactly.

And then then there's the San Jose del Cabo, which is about a half hour Cabo San and San Jose de Cabo is the Oh that's Oh, you didn't go to the well that was that. The side is more the bougie you know, big restaurants, you know, stuff that I normally love. So you didn't go to bougie Cabo. You went to me Cabo. No, I went to Cabo San Lucas, the San Lucas part of Cabo. The Cabo San Lucas is where Mikabo is located with with the people. Yeah,

now you went with two people that have nicknames. Yeah, I went with us the ways in the way Dave and let me see if I get this right, jet Ski Brian, that's correct, Jetski Brian, I Boom, Yeah, we both. Yeah, the three of us were hanging out. And if you're looking to go out with your friends, good times. Um, there's a lot of adult resorts there and it's a good party scene. You can leave the resort and go to my city. But I'm glad you had a good time. You enjoyed it, it was great. Did we talk about

how all your friends have last names with S? No? Is that the catternet's developing? No? No, no, no. So I realized this, and I don't know how I didn't realize it earlier in my life, but I realized that at your birthday party. And I thought I talked about this and I didn't. I'm sorry. Most of your friends, Uh, can I say the last names I get? Well? Like Ronnie Scalzo. You know Ronnie Scalzo your whole life. He went to school with you. Oh yeah, right, Jason Smoller,

that's with an S, right, yes, all right? How many other of your good friends have letters in the alphabet near your last last name? Scar Skii, Scalzo Smoller, Well, Voe Paicelli is the the maiden name for Denise who's married to Jason, right right right? They met, Yeah, we all met stuv that's end of the alphabet. Yes, correct. So my friends that I hang out with, that my my junior high school and high school gang that we

have reunions, we hang out. Their letters and their last names are B D and E Big Dick Energy, Big Dick Energy. Yeah, and my last name, of course is Brodie. Well why is that because in our homeroom classes and alphabetically, we were always sat alphabetically and we were sorted into homeroom classes by the alphabet. So our lives and our lifelong friends are determined by our last names. Facts. Because

it is so bizarre. And you had that, I don't have any friends named Zimmerman, like like like later in the alphabet. Right, Well, sorry, said Zimmerman. You're all my friend but like from more acquaintance. Now I'm kidding. He's a good guy, right, but you know, I will say, and you had this revelation when we were hanging out

for my birthday because and it is podcast. So when when you get to middle school, in high school, usually the formative years where you meet your friends that you sybetically your friends, they're alphabetical because normally everyone meets in the home room. That's just the place where you hang your coat and you get checked in for you know, all the all the clerical shit, and then you all branch off into other classes. But you spend the most time with you know, if you think about it that

you know the classes, do you think about it? The class? Well, the classes changed. I'm talking to the slices now. Classes change from semester to semester, but you're usually the home room. People all travel the same, right, and it's like four people in your homeroom class in math, you go over to them, right, and and it's it's literally your four years or three or four years of your life and the beginning and the end of your day, even though

it's like ten fifteen minutes. So so we all grouped together and clumped together, and we all bonded all because and and and home room was always sorted by alphab so we're still clumped alphabetically, right, many many years after I graduate. Yea, here I am hanging out with a bunch of people whose last names are I don't think we weren't friends at any of the seas. So in case you're like, why did I say B, D, and E, Well, because we don't have any friends with the name. I

had friends in school. I was friends with Cabal you know what, No, I'm we have a C in the group, but she moved to Arizona. We did have a C, yeah, Laura C. So A through F was home room one, and then G through the you know whatever, the middle of the alphabet. So they that's how they clumped it to thirty students, thirty thirty thirty thirty. How do you get one hundred and twenty students. You divide it by

four and then you get four home room classes. So we were home room number four and we were the last at the end of the We were the end of the alphabet home room and we traveled together for years. So these are to this to this day, thirty fifth, forty years later. These are my core friends, right all end in S, T and Oh. I always sat towards the front of the classroom and I graduated like twenty five minutes later than the people whose names like with S's and z's. Yeah, oh, I also Ticillo in there

because a Cicillo. So it's Scalzo scary smaller to Cillo Vopicelli, Like these were my friends growing up. That is an Italian group of people, my friends. It really is scary Scalzo smaller. And what was the Voicelli Toicillo and Vopicelli to Cillo and Vopicelli, what kind of pasta do you guys have? Oh, we've got Cappellini, Cicello Voppellini. You sound like Posta's yeah something, oh, something that irked me, that would irk you in the same way. On the way

back from cob You know, don't speak for me. Most things don't irk me. I don't know who you're talking to. On the plane ride back. I'm upset already. We've all we've all heard this before. As you're loading into the plane, halfway through, that announcement comes on by the flight attendant. And what do they say? They say, ladies and gentlemen, we have a very full flight this afternoon, so please put your luggage up top and anything you could put in the seat in front of you, please do that.

Wait a minute, Wait a minute, I you know what, You're right, they say that, and I just realize what you're upset about. Do you know what I'm gonna set about? Because I said, and I'm thinking about it and I wrote it down on my phone, I'm like, fucking Brody. Brody would be having a shit fit right now. And this is going on the podcast. They said, once again, I'll say, we have a very full flight this afternoon, So how can you be very full? It's either full

or it's not full. That is correct. What it's like when people say, how pregnant. Are you pregnant? Oh, you look very pregnant. Either you are or you aren't. It's not. Either it's full or it's not. There is no very full. So okay, so he's the only thing I could think of, the only thing I could think of. Sometimes, like I know what they do with baseball games. They'll say, oh, we've got to sell out crowd here, and you look on television and is like eighty percent of the fans there.

You're like, that's not sold out. But then you have to realize this. Tickets on StubHub this season, ticket holders didn't show up. That's tickets were all sold, but not nobody showed up. That's correct. So maybe with very full flight they mean everybody showed up their stand by people waiting, And maybe they mean very full meaning everyone's got to carry on. Maybe that's what they mean. Listen, you know me, I give everyone a pass and I don't nitpick shit.

But no, maybe very full. Maybe very full means everyone has it like two bags, Like that's what they mean, very very full. By the luggage, No, well they know how many bags are coming on. I don't know. Maybe very full. It just sounds weird and now slices. When you fly, you're gonna notice it too, because they do it on all the airlines. It has to favor. Ask them what they mean by that. Yeah, yeah, Actually go a step further, go up front and grab the radio

out of their hands. No, don't do that. You'll get arrested and jumped. I'm kidding, or jumped and arrested. I'm with you. Just say to the steward, Stuart's a steward, a male steward. They're back in the day. They're not slight attendant. Yes, come on attendant. Et dude, the female what year is this? We are flight attendants. They are not stewards. We are You're not with flight A flight attendants anyway? Yes, yeah, let's ask the steward as the

flight attendant. Whatever you see. Yeah, ye, ask that person what does it mean by very full flight? And then to look at your go don't be an ass I'll sit down, sir, exactly. The well, Um, I'm just coming down from that high. I'm relaxed. I don't know about you. You have anxiety, are you? Here's the space I try to relax. I try to so a Frienstan. I'll give

an example of me trying to relax. I went to the movies to see Aunt Man in the Wasp Quantum Mania, which, by the way, not a lot of people have noticed this, but in the word quantum mania, a n T is in quantum and m an is in the mania. Ant Man is part of the word quantum Manias. Bull shout out there. I'm a big Marvel fan, so I go to see all the movies on opening night, usually the Thursday or the Friday of the latest, to see the movies. And uh so the I was there and my family

was there, but we went in two different cars. I had errands to run and I wasn't gonna be home in time, so I said, you know what, I'll meet you guys at the theater. So my wife and daughters are in one car and I'm in the other. And by the way, Aunt Man in the Wasp. If you're a massive Marvel fan, it was fine that that's gonna be the sequel to this podcast Aunt Man in the Wasp. Huh, But that's gonna be the sequel. That's gonna be the next podcast that we do after Broo Boys are Over

the Wasp. Well, I'm I'm aunt man, because man, man, my name's Anthony. Yeah, but you're closer to being a white Anglo Saxon Protestant than I am. Okay, there's that. So that's what WASP means. If you know the derogatory sense, I guess you are aunt technically. Yeah, okay, anyway, so if you're not a Marvel fan, it was all right. By the way, it had the biggest drop off percentage wise in the history of Marvel movies, or the second

the thing is the biggest from first weekend to second weekend. Yeah, I don't hear a buzz about it. Gotta be honest. Oh that's funny, a buzz am in the wasps. Okay, anyway, that's not the point. So we went to a Cinemark movie theater, which I happened to think are nicer than AMC, even though there's more. AMC's Cinemark a newer and don't have holes in the seats. And by the way, did the other one go out of business? Regal out? No,

Regal shut down a third of their stores nationally. They're still around, okay, but other companies are trying to buy them now. Anyway, So when I go to the movies. Normally my kids get a giant popcorn. They get whatever. And I love a good movie hea to popcorn. In other words, a bad movie hea to popcorn. But I've been trying to eat healthy lately. In fact, I've lost a bunch of weight in the past three weeks. I'm

down a little bit. Good gratulations, Brodie. Thanks. Yeah, Well, I had lost all the weight and then I gained back fifteen pounds over the last year and a half. I had lost like thirty something. I game back fifteen. I'm now down ten of it, so I'm almost back to my weight loss weight. Okay, So anyway, the point is, so I went to the movie theater with a little plastic Target bag. Back when New Jersey used to give

Target plastic bags, you don't have those anymore. So I had two little bags of smart pop popcorn and a water bottle in my bag. Now, back a decade ago, you used to not be able to bring food into the movie theater, so you'd smuggle it in your coat pocket. You'd put it in your sleeve of your coat and carry your coat in. You would smuggle it in. But now nobody stops you at food. Right, you've gone to the movies. No, I haven't, even not recently. Don't go

to the movies, so they don't not recently. I don't know bedbugs, but cares no bed bugs? Yes they are. You haven't seen one story about bedbugs in movie theaters? Cut it out because they're they're hiding, they're suppressing those stories. That's right. Yeah, those those theater seats are disgusting. All the politicians getting money from the bed Bug Association. I'm telling you those theaters are they are not that that that's not where bed bugs come from. That that was

a thing ten years ago. Okay, all right, anyway, you didn't go outcause you don't socialize the movie theaters. You go to the club anyway, So nice theater, cinem Mark and now a lot of the places have waiter service. They bring the food to your chair. And nobody's ever questioned my soda bottle or my water bottle before, So I didn't bother hiding it in my coat pocket. Okay. So I'm holding a target bag from the handles. You can't see what's in it. And my daughter texts me

and says, hey, I would like a red blue Slurpye combo. Right, I want the red blue Slurpie combo, the classic one, the red and the red and blue combo. Okay, okay, So I say, okay, all right, no problem. So I get online to order the slurpee, and between each set of lines is like a rack of candy so that you can like pick up your box as a candy as you're waiting to get all on into register. It's

all right there, grabable. So I don't know, a girl in her late late teens early twenties on her tippy toes standing over the candy rack like a bull like hedges like like hedges like a bush, and she just excuse me, Um, is there food in that bag? Because there's no outside food loud to movie theater. I said, oh, hi, nice to meet you. Um, there's no signs here that say that, and more importantly, there's no food in the bag. Like she didn't even walk over to me. She like, yeah,

I was standing. Oh. I don't even how she saw the bag. She wanted to give you a shit for no reason. Must have seen the bag when I was last online when around the rack is protection and then leaned over the top of it. Yea, and was like, is there food in that bag? So she said, um, are you sure there's no food in the bag? So I said, oh, yeah, yeah, she didn't know she's fucking with I'm sure there's no food in the bag. I'm online to buy food. Meanwhile, very I have fucking food

in my bag. So fuck her, right of course, I'm not gonna tell her if she's not gonna trying to call her bluff. What if she came over you and did a spot check. I go, you can't look at my bag in or a search. Warrant the funk away from me anyway. So I go up to the cashier and I say, I would like a large slurpy red and blue combo. And he pushes some buttons and he says, aren't fifteen dollars? I said for a slurpee. He says, no, fifteen dollars for the combo large popcorn and a slurpee.

I said, I think my daughter only wanted us a slurpee, and the combo part is the red and blue. He says, well, we just call it mixed. We don't call that a combo combos with popcorn. So then I remembered my younger daughter always wants popcorn, so I said, oh, all right, they must want the popcorn. So I'm like, all right, well fine, give me the you know, give me the combo whatever. And I was a little like thrown because of the woman staring at me and my bag. I

was like, they can show up. My pip took the popcorn combo. Good deal, right? What a bog? And what a bog? I'm standing in the lobby for fifteen That's how long it took before my my family showed up. And I have the popcorn there. So I'm trying not to eat the popcorn because if I eat too much of the popcorn, it'll be noticeable and my youngest daugh it will be like, hey, why did you eat my popcorn? So I had a couple of pieces and realized it

was popcorn in my teeth. So I'm getting all the popcorn I don't like, so that I'm not guilty because I don't like. Hello, there's no butter left because all the butters around the top. I don't put butter on that. Don't put the grease. That's the best part of the popcorn. Okay, but I know that, but my kids don't want the butter. So I didn't order the butters, not even butter. It's motor oil. Okay. So I'm trying not to eat the popcorn, and my family shows up and I have the on

the floor. I'm sitting on a bench and there's a popcorn bucket right my popcorn, and the slurpie is behind it. And my middle daughter says, where's my slurpee? I said, oh, it's right here behind the popcorn. Oh good, I thought you forgot. No, no, I got, I got the combo,

meaning the popcorn and the slop. Yeah. So I'm holding the popcorn and my younger daughter is not asking me for the popcorn, and she's sort of being weird, like all right, So we sit down and now I'm sitting next to my middle daughter with the slurpee and next to horrors of my younger daughter who normally gets the popcorn, and I'm holding the popcorn and I'm not eating it, and the trailers are starting and the movies are starting.

A minute, I go, you didn't take the popcorn from me, and my middle daughter says, I don't want popcorn, and then so I said, oh, to my middle daughter, you wanted the popcorn with the combo. I don't want popcorn? Why do you tell me to get combo? Because I wanted the combo red and blue drink like I originally thought scary. So now I spent fifteen dollars I have the popcorn. So I ended up eating the whole fucking large popcorn myself unhealthy, ten thousand calories. I ended up

not eating the popcorn. The girl told me I wasn't allowed to eat after all, so she won in the long run. Really did? I got fucked by myself? You really did? You shot yourself in the foot. I shot myself in the stomach, is what I did. Holy shit? I tried to be healthy. So I'm out like eight dolls for popcorn I didn't want, and I had to eat it, and he gets horse. I left like a third of it, so I'm like, oh, take it home. Nobody wants it. Plus my my dogs like popcorn, so

I'm like, oh, give them a little popcorn. I'll throw the rest out. So I put the popcorn in the target bag, the buckets in the bag, and it's on the seat next to me on the right home. When I get home, the bucket has fallen over and the popcorn is all down the side of my seat, and how he drops something on the side he sat under the seat, the popcorn under the seat, on the seat over fucking popcorn. I feel like as this karma because

I lied to the girl twice. Absolutely it is now, you know, speaking of popcorn and movie theater, pop is night, relaxing night. Yeah, great, great relaxing night. You heard about AMC movie theaters, right, what they're doing with their popcorn? No, but I know what they're doing with their seating. Did we talk about that. No, but they're coming about the popcorn. They're coming to Walmart. Basically, you can have the AMC popcorn at your house. Um, they did an exclude deal

with Walmart. It starts on March eleventh. I've just googled it the day before the Academy Awards. So basically, it's going to be a new line of microwave ready to eat um popcorn. So you can have movie theater quality popcorn. You the retal Bocker has been doing that forever. And by the way, quality you know how you get movie

theater popcorn at Target? With Target? You said, all right, Walmart, Walmart, you know how you get movie theater popcorn at Walmart, you look for expired bags of popcorn and buy those. That's your movie theater popcorn. Wait to see popcorn is not the highest grade popcorn. They don't what They just take it out of those big bags and shove it in the machine and make it look like it. Yes, they have those, they buy giant if you go in the back. Yeah, there's like four four plastic bags right slices.

If you work in a movie theater, would you leave us a talk back by going on the radio app pushing the microphone button, leave us to talk back about your experiences and where the popcorn comes from. There are some places, if I recall in history, that they would dump the popcorn in and then the machine would have like a little fan in the bottom to make it look like it. But there are no movie again. Again, I haven't been to the movie theater in a few years.

I don't. They can't trust teenagers to cook, no offense teenagers. They're not gonna trust kids all over the country to make the popcorn there where it might burn. Yeah, it's a liability, it's a fire hazard. It's all that as it is. They can burn themselves down to like three inches. What do they do They pour another bag of popcorn in. It's the popcorn on the bottom never gets eaten. Yeah,

that's fucked up. Now you think about it around and then they they they, they, they they You put the hot butter on it, thinking that, oh it's warm, it was just made, but it wasn't. That's the that's the motor worn. Oh the cabinet is heated. Yeah, yeah, any of the case. I love it. Whatever they're doing, right or wrong, I love it. Yeah. Now that now, now that they think about it, I don't want fucking bags popcorn.

I want my own popping. I want popcorn to be popped in front of me, right, you know, you're right now that they think about it. But then as I go right to the fucking goobers and the snow caps, because whenever I was in the going to a movie, I'm the candy bar guy. I didn't even look at the fucking popcorn or the hot dogs on the wrong I get started on the hot but on the role in my life. I realized I could buy a box

of goobers for eighty cents and bring it. Yeah, you have to just keep someone you cabin it at home so you always have them, right. I feel like that was back in the day that was more enforceable. It was they used to actually check people and make the walk up and talking about the island. It was spot that's candies not from us right weeks like someone was smoking, they kick you out. It used to smoke in the

movie theaters. And they only used to sell but the boxed candy and the and the weird sizes so they can identify that you will actually bought it there. That's why they had those crazy things, you know, whereas whereas they don't have like regular sized candy bars. So this way you can say, oh, I bought it from their your counter, No you didn't, right, they gave me the giant one for eleven dollars. By the way, I learned this week things I learned, and I think it was

on TikTok. I don't know why I didn't know this before. Maybe it was what a TikTok taught me. We can treat after the break TikTok, I'll tell you about trailers. Trailer taught me two trailer park girls going around the outside the outside and rody. Okay, So trailers by definition, usually they trail. M hm, they come afterwards. But why a trailers in the beginning the movie trailer. Oh, that's called leaders. They should be right lead In's right, they

should be called right. So movie trailer a movie trailer. First, movie trailers were put in movies, I don't know, forties, fifties, whenever, it was thirties, forties someone long time ago. They were put after the movies to promote other movies. But what they found was no one was waiting till after the credits to see the trailers. Ah, so movie theaters figured out they better put them up front. So and they never changed the name. Now they called them previews. But

but they when they're produced, they're called trailers. The movie trailer. Oh wow, you watch a trailer online or on YouTube wherever. Yeah, it's well, you know, it's interesting you say that because I feel like this was a time. You're describing a time before TV almost or a time when TV was.

It was before TV, yes, and and and basically you go to a Saturday afternoon Mattinae and you'd stay the whole day, and you'd see a bunch of different films, also get the news in newsreels that would played before the movie, right, and then at the war the war going on right now in Germany is bleak, and they would you get like two weeks later you'd find out what was going on. Yeah, and then at the end of the film, you were excited to stick around. Well,

first of all, you had nowhere to go. I mean, you were fucking piss poor, and you had no TV at home, and there was you weren't You weren't trying to rush home and get on and nike a TikTok so yeah right, So so you pretty much sat there and that was your entertainment. So I understand why they would put the trailers at the end. People will probably almost look forward to it. Didn't put them at the end. You didn't hear my story. Nobody waited, no, no, no,

and they left during the credits. They didn't wait around. But at first they put them at the end. That's why they were called trailers. Well they took them at the end because they're like, oh, we'll add it on to the end so people will see it. But he already waited. That's why they moved them. But when did they move them? Though they immediately like I'm I don't know TikTok didn't tell me. I didn't think so. Nope, I think that that was the seventies and eighties thing.

I don't know, No, no, no, no, are you sure about that? I'll google I thought that. I thought the movie trailers were left at the end in the forties and the fifties at least, yeah, because people would look forward to It's like, oh my god, I can't wait to see what's coming on next, and they would stay. Nineteen thirties. It was the nineteen thirties when it was decided too many audience members were leaving right after the film, So the movie theater starting the shot shows trailers before

the feature films. Well that's nineteen thirty silent movies, right. That puts a big fucking hole tweeting in my theory. But wait a second, then, why didn't they fucking change it back then? They had a hundred years to change the fucking name from trailer the first trailer shown and well, you know how many words don't make any sense in the English language. They should have changed, but they don't. Yeah, you know how annoyed I am that I have to

say nonfiction means true. It should just be a story. If it's false, tell me it's nonfiction. It's like milk, white milk. If I go to a movie, I don't want to hear it on fiction, or a book is nonfiction. Don't even tell me, hey is a good book. Yeah, you don't say it's nonfiction. It's true. Yeah it's fiction. It's false. Yeah, you know. To tell me it's true, But to tell me it's not false, it's stupid. Thank you.

So trailers change the name. Okay. And if you're gonna do the why do you drive on a parkway way? You can google that. It's easy. Parkways used to go to park Speaking of Google, I found something really alarming. And this is for the future youth ut of America. This is this the teenage filter. Now, the teenage filter is supposed to make you cry. I feel the teenage

filter makes you look like your teenage self. On TikTok it does, and no old people are people are crying because they're seeing themselves as teens and they haven't done that in years. So I did the teen No I looked at teen filter. It looks like like I'm a teenager, but not how I looked as a teenager. And if I want to see how I looked as a teenager, can look at actually photos of me as a teenager.

The teenage filter is supposed to re calculate what you looked like, as I say, it didn't and well to people that, to women especially that are looking at this filter and crying when they see it, they see themselves as a teen So it actually everything. Some people are everything I see on TikTok is fifty year old women who look like eighteen saying, have you heard about the new filter? It's dangerous. Warn your kids, this is what

I really look like. And then they're fifty three fifty four and you're like, oh no, that's the glam filter. That's confusing to I'm not I'll send you the videos. Parents are upset that men are gonna catfish young girls by pretending to be teenage boys. I'm telling you, oh god, I didn't hear that. I saw the glamorous filter where people are catfishing. They where they saying, And now here's me without glam filter on myself. And I have to say, I looked pretty good, did you? Yeah? Okay, well I

don't know why the lens cracked. Then that's gurgle. I did get a new phone? By the way, before you continue about Google, joy fans, I got a new phone. Guy going Google green bubble You're the green bubble guy. You're a green bubble boy over here. So no problem that. So Google search we this is a this is a thing. Now set that that gen z is seven times more likely to use TikTok to search news stories in the search field of TikTok. Then they are to go to

Google and hit the search key. So which is more seven times more people are using in the gen z category? Are It's up seven per seven times, not seven percent, So that means Google is on the decline and people are just so lazy they don't want to shut they're in the TikTok app. If they want to research something, they go to the search bar of TikTok and the information from a reliable source. That's the problem. Well, you're not gonna get that. It's a tip, it's TikTok. It's

controlled by China. I got It's not controlled by China, it's owned by and it slowly. They don't control the content of news stories. If you go to a news site, they're slowly infiltrating, not infiltrating, stop the paranoia. Okay, in your apartment? Did you read the stories? I'm telling you, I don't telling me. See where did you read the story scary TikTok? Would you google it? No? No, it's a known thing. It's not a known thing. It's not it's not a crust them, it's not spreading. I don't know.

I feel like in five ten years we're all going to be owned by China, and what are they gonna do with us? Scary give us Chinese food. I'm fine with that, as long as there's no vegetables. I don't know, Man, you're taking this very lightly. I'm not you know what. So I got into an argument recently and a while ago with with different people online, not not friends of mine. So it was in a public forum like Twitter, Instagram. There are there are certain websites that are known to

be fake, and I don't mean like they lie. I mean like they're spoof sites like the Onion that's spoof. Yeah, and Babylon but yeah, they're all they're all fine, yeah, yeah, yeah, And didn't know that they're they're um, they're satire, they're they're satire. Yeah, of course, But what happens is because they're popular. People don't know they're satire, and politicians will will comment and quote and and and it's trending on Twitter.

I'm like, why is this trending on Twitter? And they're like, oh, this, They're like this person is a criminal, and I go, no, they're not. And I look at where the story came from. And so if you look up like these websites, yeah, they're wiki pages will tell you, and and other websites if you go to like, um, if you google the page and the word scam, there's websites like, um, oh, what are they going to cold? The websites they tell

you if something is a scam. They tell you who the owner is, with the registered domain, the certificates, they tell you all the information. They'll tell you. If a news source is biased or left side, you can write, you can look up. I just think people that don't know they're spoof pages, and they'll get all upset about crazy story and they'll go, this is what I'm not gonna tell you to get into it because I don't talk politics. But they're like, oh and look, no one

else in our state is covering it. The mainstream media is not covering this story aside. I think it's not covering it because it's a fake website, right, But all that aside, I just think it's alarming that gen z is choosing yes TikTok's search bar to research news stories rather than going outside to Google. I don't think that's a viable story. I think they get all the news. I think there's problems ahead. Yes, if they get all the news from that girl who thinks that break, it

means you're in the cast. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Oh my god, I believe I'm terrified. But let yeah. And you want to talk about people following you in cameras, I gotta Did I tell you about my girlfriend with with she following me with the dude? My girlfriend and I were hanging out on Saturday night, were did you film it? And we were in bed? Oh did you film it? You? I don't know if I'd watch it.

We were in bed and all of a sudden she gets a notification on her phone and the notification said, erectile dysfunction pillar average an Apple air tag has been following you for three hours and there's basically she was in the company of an Apple air You know what an air people just to in case, in case slices in case you don't know what an air tag is. It's basically a little chips to track it. It's a

trackable thing. Yeah, it's a little device. It's a little It looks like you should always put it in yourluggage when you go on a trip to see your plastic piece. It's the size of a dime, right, and you're supposed to drop it in like you places what like luggage or wherever your dog. You put it on your dog collar. Right, So being followed. So Apple has a protection system because

people obviously have been used question using it maliciously. Hold on, when you were with Robbin, were you using a protection system. We'll wait a second. People have been people have been using maliciously to track others. So they'll drop it in a woman's purse. It's a known thing. It's going Robin thought she was a victim of this. She's oh my god, I got an alert. An Apple air tag is in

near body. She gets up out of bed. She starts rummaging through her coat, her her pocketbook, her whatever, right, her handbag. She's looking all over the place. She goes what is is what's going on? An Apple art tag? And then she's looking at the location. She's like, oh, it's started at my office. Oh my god. It follow me and follow us to the restaurant. It's on me, it's on me. It's it's here with us, it's with an apartment in the room. Yes. And then I'm like, oh,

wait a second, it's in my wallet. Remember the time I lost my wallet? Yeah, you throw the garbage. Yeah, my sister bought me an Apple Air tag for Christmas to drop in my wallet. So I now have an Apple air tag in my wallet. So after her phone picked up on it, that says it's been traveling. Take all night to notice it because it waits to see

it waits to measure lookcations like, wait a minute. We went went, We went to four different places together, and the Apple air tag was with her in all four places. What if she got the notification at the second place but decided that the sex wasn't good and was like, oh, I gotta get out of bed. I got an air tag following me. All right, it can happen, I am, yeah. But anyway, but could you imagine that that that my own my Apple Air tag in my wallet because it

was with her. Her phone picked up on it and said, this air tag is with you. Well, I've got to I've got a similar story. Do I have time? Yeah, before we take a quick before we take a break, let's do. Okay. So when we went on our last cruise, my youngest daughter took her Apple AirPods and and later when we come back, I want to talk to you

about her. My daughter's new headphones, but her air pods, and she tracks them, right, she tracks them with her iPhone because my whole family's iPhones but me, you know that, right. So we go on the we get to the airport, we land in Fort laid of Dale, We get on the cruise, we take the cruise um and we're back in the airport waiting for our flight. We're in Fort lauda Dale airport, waiting for our flight, and she says, oh my god, I think I lost my EarPods, my

AirPods whatever they're called AirPods. What do you mean you lost your AirPods because they're like hundreds of dollars they are. I haven't seen them since we got off the plane. Well, okay, well did you track them? Yeah? It says, the last time I had them was at the airport. I must have lost them at the airport before we got on the cruise. I go, that's the last time you haven't been in range of your AirPods since we landed in

the airport. Oh my god. All right, So I go online and I follow report with the airline, and I follow report with the airport for the lost and I'm looking on websites and I'm researching what to do and how to try. So at least a half hour goes by. I'm filling out websites and forms and waiting for emails back to confirm, and I have to reconfirm. Right about forty five minutes later, she says, um, I figured out why the last time my AirPod showed up at the airport.

I go, what you know, where they are? Yeah? Where are they? They're in the side pocket on my backpack. The reason they were showing up at the airport is because they were in the airport. Don't For a week, I had to keep telling the emails I was getting from the airline in the airport that I found the item. It wasn't Reddy. Are you sure you found it? Should we we should we close the case warrant? Oh my god. She had me jumping through hopes. She's like, oh, they're

in my bag, don't Disapple. I love Apple. I love Apple too, But um, you know about the AirPod Max headphones, right, those are my favorites. They're actually very expensive, like five hundred bucks. Yeah, they were on sale at three fifty what a boggy. They're very expensive. So I don't like them because they're called AirPod Max and uh, Brodie, you shit, they should called earphone Max whatever. I'm sorry, Yeah, you cut out there for a second. On my back. You

said the air ear back AirPod Max. You don't like the name right because they're not AirPods, their headphones. They should be called earphone Max or headphone Max. That's branding brand, it's products vertically. You know, my wife and I got my daughter a pair for Hanaka Sonica. Even though they're expensive. I went and did a sound test and I tested them against two other pair of headphones that I have, the good headphones that I have, and I thought they

were they were good. I did all the reviews, I watched videos, and she wanted them in green. So she wanted them a little bit for the status. Got them. They got some cool colors. She wanted them for her TikTok videos, and she also wanted them because they sound great. So I got her repair okay, and I was like, listen, she goes to college, Like, listen on campus. You gotta be careful with them. They're you know, they're expensive headphones. Yeah, they are, even though you got them. But I got them.

I didn't tell hard, but I got them for three fifty. They're five hundred dollars normally, yes, so they people see them ago, that's a five hundred laphones. Now, you and I grew up in a time in New York City where you didn't take you while it out on the subway. Never, you would never take out a piece of valuable equipment. You didn't show any of that shot you hit your jewelry. Now people take out a thousand dollars phones and they're like, oh,

I'm on my phone. Yeah, So I'm like so anyway, I don't know if you saw the story in New York. Actually it may be national, but it started in New York. At least. The article was about New York people on mopeds are flying by on the street. People wearing AirPod maxes. Now, if you've ever seen the AirPod max, it has a big headband with a handle. Yeah for the words. The headband isn't the headband is flushed to your head, but

above it is like two bars. It look like you have like you know, like when you go through a town that has like the electrical towers near your house, like two giant cables going across your roof. Yeah, that's what it looks like. It makes it easier to swipe on a moving vehicle, right, It's like it's like a grabbed me handle. So people on mopeds all over New York now are riding by and grabbing them off because there's no wires the wires exactly, and they're grabbing the

headphones and running. So, like twenty one people had their headphones stolen last week. It was a national story. CNN had it. It It was everywhere. Yeah, And so I told my daughter, She's like, oh, no one's gonna bother me. Really, I go, it's just there's no mop heads on campus. I go, Okay, Well, if you go into town or in whatever, stay away from like the sidewalk, yeah, the road, like the street this. Yeah, I don't see a need for them personally. That's the one Apple product that that

and the Apple Watch. I have no use for it because for for the for these headphones, it's like I got the little AirPod Mini, the mini ones from my head, you know, I don't need it. I got yeah and a par of Sony's from Amazon, and I tested them out. They're a noise canceling wireless blue headphones, and you can't the other problem is you can't use them with analog equipment.

When we do our podcast and when when I'm on the air show, right, well, there's note only delay, but there's there's nowhere to plug them in because it's a it's a it's so you can get a transmitter, but the transmitter has this delay and you hear yourself slapping back years ago when when wireless headphones first came out. I don't know two thy I don't know when they first came out, but I got a pair of SMS

wireless headphones. Maybe two thousands. You're into that kinkie shit, yeah, SMS. Yeah, So I think it was two thousand and thirteen because I know what studio we were in, and I put the wireless transmitter in the headphone jack and it's delayed by like so it's like you hear the audio, but everyone in the room's mouth moved first. Yet bad, it's bad, terrible. So anyway, yeah, so because of that's called latency. It's latency because and it's a digital product working with old

school analog equipment. Does they don't work? They don't match anyway. So yeah, so I don't I don't feel the need to have those big dumb headphones on my head. I have to tell you they sound good and they're very comfortable. Oh but we'll come with a crappy case. Don't make me want them. No, No, they're not worth the two hundred dollars more than a would pair of Sony or JBL headphones. I've done enough resting. They're fine, they're good.

They're not like you would say, oh they're bad. They're good. They're just not so much better. You're buying them because they look good on TikTok. Really, TikTok taught me, TikTok talk taught me. Tik tik taught me. Um, so we have some sound here that I know we want to get very excited. Let's uh do a little bit of that Okay, so let's talk about baseball, because his baseball season, we're talking base ball. So, uh, you have the clip that has twenty twenty two next to it? Of course, Okay,

I gotta set it up. I set up that was aud That was an accident. Oh did you actually hit a button like I did before? And then you made funny operator er? Okay, So a year ago I played a clip of legendary baseball player future Hall of Famer hopefully and and legendary New York Mets announcer Keith Hernandez, who I love, good guy. You know he made a mistake last year, as did a couple of announcers, by mispronouncing the name of a Florida Marlin infielder who's now

an outfielder. Yes, named Jazz Chisholm. And here's what he did last year. This is a depleted line up. This Marlin team has injuries to Chazz chas Jism Brian Anderson. Okay, so he called Jazz Chisholm Chazz Chism. That was last year, and a couple other announces have made the mistake. Yes, okay, could you have the isolated clip? Ye, the short clip him Jim He said it twice too, like he stumbled, and he goes, yeah, I know that's right, Chazz chism Okay.

So that was last year. This year is spring training. The first game on television. This is the first game. Play the clip the first and no, I want you to listen to two things. Listen how he pronounces Chazz Chisum's name and then name chat right, Well, yes he said Chazz Chisum. Right. I want you to listen how we put out how he says it. And then the second thing he says is he's he's talking about how he's playing center field today. But then he corrects himself.

He's in his own head. Go ahead, and the Marlin defense presented by n y u l m going health. He's got Dela Cruz and Sanchez returning in the corner outfield position. They can play all over chess. Jisum is gonna chishom is gonna start in center field. And no, do you cut off the ending. That's it and that's not deference. Presented by nyu lem going health. He's got Dela Cruise in Sanchez, I turn it on in the corner, old cut it off. You can play all over chess.

Chisum is gonna Chishom is gonna start in center field and he is not here today. Yeah, he's not here today. He said he's gonna start and center field and then goes and he's not here today. Oh whoops. So he's not starting in centifield. Whoops. But the point is out of the So I looked on Twitter and everyone was like, oh my god, he said, he said Jisum again. Okay, do you have do you have the crocodile's tears clip? Yes? Okay, so you know crocodile tears are it's a fake crying? Right?

This woman doesn't seem to know that. She's talking about the Murdoch trial, the guy who allegedly killed his family. Yeah, and she's trying to say whether or not he was faking it. Well, she says whether or not he was really crying or faking it. So listen to what she says. The jury is going to look at him and say, you know what, are you really crying crocodile tears? Are you really upset that your family's gone? Are more importantly, are you upset because you've been caught? Oh wait no, no,

she thinks crocodile tears are real, right, She doesn't. She doesn't realize that means that fake. No, it's basically, are you really crying? Or are those crocodile tears? Right? She says, are they crocodile tears? Because you're upset about your family? Look at him and say, you know what, are you really crying crocodile tears? Are you really upset that your family's gone? Are more importantly, are you upset because you've been caught? Writes this. No, but this is Harse on

the air. She wasn't reading it. She was a commentator like a guest spurt. Yeah, you got a wires crossed? Okay, yeah. Next, here's a guy talking about Jimmy Carter, who you know, he was born I believe in nineteen twenty four, and you know he doesn't have he's he's in hospice now, a former president, and so he's lived a very good life. He's ninety eight years old rough, I think ninety eight. So the guy's talking about when he was born and

what he's accomplished. See if there's anything you can pick up that's wrong. Okay, first time I'm hearing this, by the way, Yep, this guy essentially lived in three centuries.

You know, that was nineteenth century, part of all the big movements, President of the twentieth century, and in the twenty first century through the Carter Center, he was he involved in cutting edge issues like global health, conflict resolution, demon Okay, well, first of all, yeah, first of all, he was not alive doing the nineteenth that's correct, because

that's the eighteen hundreds, that's correct. So that would mean he's approaching two hundred years old, because so three he's it wasn't alive for three centuries, Well, he'd have to be one hundred, and he'd have to be at minimum one hundred and twenty four years old. Correct, one hundred twenty four right, because to overlap to get right half I would have been to have been born in eighteen Okay. Even if this guy thought that the nineteen hundreds with

the nineteenth century, he fucked up twice. Well, then then he was president in the twentieth century, and he's done some great things in the twenty first century, which hasn't Like this can't be both. You can either either be wrong one way or the other. But he has not been in three centuries. He's not no, No one is two one hundred twenty four years old. That's correct. Okay, Um, do you have the ice clip, well, the balloon rescue, I got it. I got the ice clip here and

that's it. Okay. So so this is talking about the balloon, one of the balloons that were shot down in Alaska. And listen to what it landed on. We know that that at least officials said that, Um, most of it appeared to land on you know, frozen water. So we're grieving it will be another undertaking. We have a very full flight today. Yeah, maybe somebody wants to tell her what frozen water. It's called ice frozen water. We know that that at least officials said that most of it

appeared to land on you know, frozen water. So we're frieving. It will be another undertaking. No one corrected her either, All right, Well, sometimes people have brain farts. It's okay, I fart, you fart, We all fart. It happens. The only thing I can tell you is I looked up frozen water and it says the cryosphere is known as frozen water. We're referring to glaciers and okay, okay, maybe I don't know if she knew that, but I think we accidentally fell into that. A broken clock is right

twice a day too. Yeah. The last one I have is Emerald. This is the way you need to pump the volume up. Now. Emeral Legassi is a up the volume. Was a famous chef. He's still famous, but he was a big deal in the nineties and two thousands and of course the nineteenth century. He was a guy that went bam right. Now now, like Bobby Flay is much more famous, like there's a new generation of chefs. Flavor Bamlo was one of the first famous chefs. But now because he's not like an iron chef, he's not like

a big deal anymore. He does infomercials for like products he endorses. He gets money for. So and and Kimberly Locke who I think pronounced her named Kimberly Lae on an American idol l O c k A. She had one hit, I think a medium hit. She's his co host, So she's the oh and Au girl, right, that's her job. Now she stands in infomercials and goes, oh my god, So listen to him talk about mundane fish and shrimp and how unbelievably amazed. She and the audience are over

the ingredients he's using. We got a beautiful shrimp. Oh look today we're using beautiful and then we have our peppers and onions roast. For me, that's not general, that's a part of Yeah, shrimp, flounder and peppers and onions is a party. Um. This this irks me. This is what she said. This is what not winning American Idol does to you. Yeah, Kimberly Locke from American Idol. Um, I will go shrimp wooww, Oh my god, I'm rubbing myself. Oh my god, Oh my god. Flounder. Listen, I'm rubbing

my flounder. Ye. Chilean sea bass is expensive and it's delicious and it's flaking. But flounder is what filet of fish is made of. Yeah, Kimberly could be rubbing her flounder. Um. Can you hear that? That? Can you hear that? That is my eyes rolling from the back of my head so far, so hard. Um, that is an atrocity I've seen. I've seen this infomercial series. That's a different episode. I think they finally switched this one with the f the cooking oven that that you can put a turkey in

orchi Okay, you know I've seen it. Okay, then that's the one. Oh shit, they don't even change the those out. Um. I've seen about three or four of the different one of these, and they're all the Emerald ones, and they're all it's canned laughter, canned, canned applause. Um. The audience looks way too into it, right, way too into you know how they do that. I learned this because I

went to a TV show called That Metal Show. It used to be a VH one and it was about eighties metal, right, And so a few of us went to a taping of it. And when you sit there before the show starts, they film the audience. So a guy comes out. He goes, I we're gonna we're gonna make you guys a big part of the show. But we need a lot of energy. Can we here some energy? And everybody claps right right, So I need you guys

to clap yea like something amazing just happened. That's right ready, and they and they go, okay, now we need you to clap like you thought about something, you realized it and you went, oh my god, and then you clapped. They're pretty much prompting you so they can drop it in later to make the actual piece and hand right right, So they give you like, Okay, you're gonna laugh, but then you're gonna start slowing down and then laugh louder

because a second joke came. Can they tell you all the reactions to fake so when you they show so we watched it that night. The laughter they used was not in relation to what was going on on the set at that time. They make it look like we were laughing. That's right. They cut in. They cut in that, that that pre pre audience laughter, that pre tape laughter, so that they must sit the audience and the infomercials and go, okay, pretend you're amazed by peppers and onions.

But this goes back to the whole idea of infomercials being over the top, where it's like create a problem and a solution. It's like, right, well, forget about that part of it. Well you're talking about them. I'm talking about when when has do this stuff happened to you? And the one driving a car and a spaceship comes and takes it away and yeah, we we have a new product called letto, the letto. It's five hundred pounds

of lead in your trunk, right. Oh. The woman with the oven, the muffins in the oven, and she comes out of the oven all of a sudden happened to you, and she has her oven gloves on, and she drops the muffins all over the fucking floor. Oh my god, let me say this, Okay. The emerald thing is is just as annoying because of exactly that, the NonStop overreacting of the oh my god, it's like they've never seen

food before, are they? Could you? Or when you finally see what the results are from the air fryer, cooker, whatever the hell he's fucking peddling, and it's like, ooh, it's perfect. And the whole audience is like like fucking jerking off, Like they're all like like high five in each other, like whoa, yeah, come on, man, that's not real life. But I guess they have to make it exciting because they want, you know, they want to sell some product, they want to get you. They're they're hoping

that through their over excitement, you get mildly excited. Is so incredibly excited that it cooked a chicken in an hour and a half. Yeah, I gotta get a chicken a cook an hour and a half. I say, get a life. If that's if you really get excited, you get a boner off seeing that. No, look, it's one thing if you buy the If you buy the oven, that's fine. It could be a good oven. I'm just saying, if you watching, Oh my god, peppers are peppers and

onions cooked peppers, and he put peppers with onions? Who does that? You gotta be kidding me? Yeah, now you know me, I'd be like, no vegetables exactly, I got no vegetable story. Vegetables and scary. We got time for like one more story we do, but before that, I'm gonna start it now I wanted you to do. Yeah, yeah, of course we do. Yeah. Um, we have talkbacks. That's gonna take that's gonna take up the whole semication. No, no, no, no,

I have them. I just I don't think we want to go there right now, because if I know you're you're pressed for time. Where you aheaded? Dell Brodie, We've been so secret. What's going on? I'm meeting my wife at dinner at a at a restaurant. We've been trying to get a table at for weeks. I know tonight is a Wednesday night, but we have we got, we got dinner. Is it an Italian restaurant? No, No, it's a New American maybe nice? Okay, good, well, well, enjoy

you dinner? Two things I'll eat so it's good. Um. Do you think it's weird that I'm a bona fide member of the Jonas Brothers fan club, like a real a real member, like a card carrying member of the Jonas Like, like I get first crack at their merch. I get notifications when their shows or I would say that's because you are an uncle. Probably an uncle. See, I like I like Jonas Brothers. I like each one of them individually. I like the group. I like them

as people like them. When they see me, they go, broday, Well is it my daughters are there? Okay? Look even cool? You know the girls on the show. We're like, dude, you're a grown ass man. And I don't know if I remember the fan club, Like we had the Jonas Brothers on today and he'll just mentioned it. Yeah, the Joe Bros. They came on the show. Toll you man. I was like, is weird? That Scar is a grown

asque man and he's and they were like, no, it's cool. Um, what about okay, let me flip this for a second. What if it was Taylor Swift? Swift? I was gonna say, what if it is it? Is it weird or awkward that I am a grown esque man in a tailor fifth Taylor Swift fan club. And if the answer is yes, what's the difference? Um, I don't think it's a problem. I think if you're a Taylor Swift fan twelve years ago, it may have been a little weird to be in the fan club, but now you want to get tickets

because she's im possibly get tickets. Forget about my my funcal status, forget about me being my fun uncle. No, I'm not a fun It's okay. So Jonah's brothers and Taylor are on the same age. I know that she dated one of them except one, but either would say the tailor. I would say the tailor probably now appeals to in addition to her regular audience, appeals to an

older audience. So you think the music is much more deep, an adult and emotional and gut wrenching at times, you think I'm doing a commercial for her album all Right, And I think I know a lot of adults that love Taylor Swift for her maturity, Whereas I think a lot of the Jonas Brothers stuff is unbelievably fun and pop and danceable and catchy, and I don't think they delve as often into the serious drama of so life

in relationship. Forty something year old guy as a member of both fan clubs, is either one of them bizarre, is a little twisted, or that's a little sure bizarre for me. I think it's bizarre for you. I think it's sus for you, sus for me, because you'd never wear a Joe bro t shirt or Taylor Swift t shirt. Oh so you're saying it's normal for you. You You don't think that you're you're you're abnormal for being part of

either one of those fan clubs. Just saying I think it's more normal for me to be a Swift fan club member because she does appeal to adult contemporary audiences, meaning an older audience, as opposed to the pop sound of the Jonas Brothers. But what makes you what gives you the right to be a card carrying member? But me not so much? Well, I could pass it off by my three daughters and say that I'm a member

to get them stuff. You cannot do that, okay, because you already have the lecherous uh oh do I script her off on the air? You do? Oh? Please? Do? Uh do? Tell it? Yes, you used to date younger girls. That's that's the rumor of you on the show. Oh that's always the joke. That was twenty seven years ago, right, but it's still the joke. It's still that's okay. Are you alder than Robbin? Yeah? All right, you like younger women? Done? All right? Yeah, listen, my wife's younger than me. It's

I'm just joking. I know, you're just I think it's weird because you don't have any kids and you haven't been a Jonas Brothers fan for twenty years. Yeah. I like. For instance, I met the Jonas Brothers for the first

time in two thousand and six. They came up to ZE one hundred because you're because of your daughters in Jersey City, and at that time they had one hit the year three thousand and uh it was only on the Disney Channel, and they came up and they were standing outside our office, my office in the in the radio station, and I will nobody knew who they were. They were just standing there and I went up to him, go, hey, guys, Jones brothers, you know who we are. I said, yeah,

you have to hit your three thousand. I'd love that song. They're like, oh my god, can we get a picture with you? You're David Brodie. They knew who I was, Like, I gotta they would listen up listening. Yes, they knew who I was and were amazed I knew who they were. So I've known them now for I don't know, uh, sixteen seventeen years mostly. Yep. So to me, like if I had become a fan club member of their's fifty fifteen years ago, whatever, sixteen years ago, yep, that makes

sense because I was a fan at the beginning. But how long have you been a fan club member? Scary? Not long? Only a couple of years now. Yeah, that seems a little strange to me. Okay, all right, so I made you sign up that tell me, defend yourself. I made you sign myself. I don't feel I feel like I am more connected to pop culture when they came back. When they came back about three four or four years ago whenever they when they made their little

come back there, that's when I jumped on. I'm like, you know what, these guys are all grown up now, they're mature. They sound good. I like their music, you know stuff. So I felt like I wanted to get them merch early. I wanted to be informed. No, I don't wear or own a Joe Bro's T shirt or anyway not because then I feel people would judge me, because I don't need people who don't know me judging me. Okay, so access to the merchandise early is cool, but you

don't actually buy the merchandise. Well, if I bought it, I can only wear it around people who really know me that I'm not some random sketchule. But you couldn't like walk by the schoolyard wearing a Joe broch Oh dude, That's where I'm going with this, all right, I rest my case. I'm just gonna keep it. I should have not even admitted to anybody, but okay, yes, I'm a Joe bro fan, so they're nothing wrong with that. All right. Before we get out here, I want to tell what

happened to me me in the UPS store just yesterday. I love it. It's always the fed X, the ups. Hold on. It didn't happen to me. It didn't happen to me, but it happened in front of me. You tell me how you'd react if you could keep your mouth shut, because at some point I went Jesus, okay, I was second online. I was third online, and the woman who was first in line had her stuff done, and the woman as an older woman in front of me, h

sixties seventies, not a hundred. She goes up to the counter and she says to the there's a guy on the register and a second guy working in the stock room. He's like bringing stuff to the back. And she says, do you guys sell corrugated boxes? And he says, yeah, oh, because they used to be over there by like the packing supplies. And he says no, no, they were never over there, but we have them. Oh no, they were there like six months ago. He says, I'm working here

seven years. They've never never been over there. But anyway, how can I help you? I need to buy a box, is okay? The guy says, how big is the box you want? Like three by three? He says, well, that's a that's a very big box A yard by a yard is a very big box. Yea. How hide he need the box? I don't know. So the guy says, um, what are you shipping? Oh? I'm not shipping anything. I just need to put stuff in it. The guy says, oh, okay, that's great, but what are you putting in the box.

That's gonna be a heavy ass fucking box if you're gonna fill it up, which the problem The point is she's not answering him. So he says, what are you putting in the box. She says, Oh, I'm organizing a tricky tray at my church, so I'm putting tricky tray stuff in it. He says, oh okay, but what are you putting in the box? What does that mean? You're doing a tricky tray, you know, stuff for a raffle. The guy is like ready to pull his hair out.

She's talking in phrases and non sequiturs, like and them to the woman behind me, who's exasperated by this conversation. I go Jesus really loud, like she should hear it, but she doesn't, and she says, He goes, look how much stuff are we talking about? She says, well, I don't know how many donations I'm gonna get. Oh my god, he says, it's almost like simply someone was playing a phone tap on her. In person says, she's paying a joke. How much stuff are you selling? Oh no, it's to win.

We're giving it away. Oh god, are you? Wow? Are you we're gonna rest? What does that have to do with the box? Okay, he says, ma'am, I don't care what you're doing with the stuff in the box. Now. She's just looking for company. She just watched conversations. She's big of a box. Do you want tell me the size of the box? She holds up her hands and she goes, I don't know, maybe this big. So she was like two by two right. The guy says, well,

how high? I don't know. So the guy goes in the back and he comes out with a two by two moving box and she says, oh, how much is that? And he says twenty two dollars. Oh that's too much money to give away free stuff. We're not selling it, Oh my god. And so the guy says, well, we have less expensive because we'll give me one that's like half is tall. Would that be ten? He says, no, half as tall as like fourteen. Well that's not half. Oh my god, he says, Well, we discount as you

get larger in size. She says. He says, look on the wall right there is like they put boxes all over the wall with the sizes on them. Goes look at the boxes on the wall and pick out you could see how big they are and see which one looks about the size you want. I got to say that this guy's a saint, like I would have lost my shit. So so I do this. Let's go, it's already right, and she does the guy. So the other guy,

the stockroom guy, looks at me and he's laughing. He's biting his tongue because he sees him fucking I want to and I'm holding a large box to ship a heavy box. So I finally put the box down because this woman's never gonna She says twenty two dollars and then four to just you know, I used to be able to go to Target and get the bins, but now the bins is seventeen dollars. Oh my god, what never mind, never mind, I know it. She walked out. So she's walking out, I said, you know what, lady,

I was in a hurry. More importantly, the bins that target you can get him for six dollars go there. Now, good luck to you, ma'am. Oh, it's a lot of effort. I'm just trying to do a good thing with a chicky tragon. She walks out, what fuck you? Fuck you? Fuck you esther? Yes, whatever your name is, fuck you? Yeah, you know what. And it wasn't like she was so old. She was like, oh my god, she's so old. She was like sixty five. The problem is, you know the type,

you know, you knew it was. You knew from the beginning. I know from the jump from the get that it was going to end up with her walking out the guy with out a box. Combination of words? Can I use to get an answer out of this woman? You know it's for a tricky tray. Oh my god. Yeah, somebody. But here's the thing. Whatever church she goes to, the other people thought it would be a good idea to put her in charge. Yeah, well go get the box. All you can do is pray. All you can do

boxes pray for her, Pray for her. We gotta get out of I gotta go to dinner, all right, you go to dinner. I was ready. What happens in my life? I was ready to go for another hour, But Brody's gonna fucking real boys, boys,
