#253: You're Gonna Burn In Hell

him out next week. Yeah, that said. Oh, we just started the podcast a couple of months ago. We're up to one seventy seven. We're up to one forty so we've gotten some new listeners who are thankfully listening in order like that post do. I like that very much. The only problem with that, and they're not gonna hit this for a while is I think I mentioned this last week, but they're still doing it where they go, oh my god, you were definitely right. What Yeah, because

they're not specific about it. Now you gotta go back to episode forty seven and called through it to figure out what you were right about. Well, they say the episode which is which is fine. I'll go, oh, episode fifty three, you're probably done the same thing. Okay, that was like, yeah, it's an eighty minute episode. Could have said a lot of things during that time, and that was like four years ago. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, we don't remember. Honestly, we've said this before. We don't remember

what happened this episode. As soon as we like Brooklyn. It's great syst to me. What do we talk about though? I don't know. Yeah, I know we always forget because we are in the moment. So um, I'm excited. I'm going to Lisbon and Paris. I'm getting out of the country. I'm doing exactly what I promised that we'd do for my New Year's resolution. Oh that sounds nice if you remember, it was go to other places than the four five places I always vacation in the slices even know where

I always vacation. And now that you know Bahamas, Vegas, Miami, you know this is a new one for you, Husu. Yeah, no, this is We're going overseas and I can't wait. Robin's coming with me. Two of us are on a journey. We're going to eat our way through Lisbon and Paris. I hear two very big eating cities. I have to find fault with you, because that's what we do here. I feel like you humble questioned, what does that mean? Well, it means you put up a poll on social media

asking people where you should eat in France and Lisbon. Yeah, which is such a fucking boogie thing to put up on social media. Like if someone's like, hey, I'm coming to Manhattan, you know where should I eat? You go, Okay, well it's Manhattan. You want it, You want your people's opinion. Right, Oh, I'm going to Los Angeles? Where should I go for

good Chinese food? But you're like, oh, oh, slices at people who follow me, I'm going to France and Lisbon, seys wondering you can tell me nobody who's follows you on social media? At what do you have, like a fifty thousand followers whatever? What maybe two have been to Lisbon? I mean that's come on, You're not really tell people you're going to France and Liz poken holes in this

right away. First of all, the whole point of me putting that out there is that maybe in one hundred and eighty seven thousand people, sorry Loki flex, that I will find a couple of people who can give me some tips on places to go and unlike a Google or Yelp. Yeah, but I want to hear real reviews from real people. I don't necessarily need to get a slanted review from trip Advisor because somebody had an ax

to grind with the place David Brodie. Okay, so no one has an ax to grind on on Twitter or no. I feel like the people who who know you and follow you are more are closer to you, and they're gonna give you an honest assessment. I don't need to see a Yelp review because they that your soup came out cold and you trashed it with one star. I don't need those people in my life. I want to know from real people, you know. So Yeah, the whole

point was I don't have the answers. Oh, so many people got back to about places to eat in Lisbon about six about six yeah, about fourteen for Paris also France. Oh but you said France and Lisbon. You didn't say Paris. Frances is a big country. Like I think I wrote Paris, didn't I I thought you wrote France and whatever. The case point, what people called you out is a boogie bastard. Well, they could call me out all they want. The thing is, isn't that sometimes what social media is for to go

and find out answers from people. People put up poles all the time, or they put up suggestions or things. The last time you went to let's say, uh, Minnesota and put up a pole where should I eat? Minnesota? I would do that. Yeah. Yeah, because you travel all the time, I don't know you putting up a pole on where to eat? This is some boomer energy right here. This is exactly the look. Girls do this all all the time. What altfhit? Should I wear? Guys? And then

you can listen. Please, those are twelve year olds on TikTok. That's not true. That's not true. Are on the heart radio app. There's a little microphone there while you're listening, you can leave it talk back, all right, would you please leave it? Talk back? Do me a favor the hold on, hold on, wait let me Okay. You know we're not doing an episode next week. We're not gonna yeah, I'm not gonna be here. So whatever today is, what's today to whatever? Well, you know, we may actually release

this next week. I have a strategy behind that, but your strategy. Okay, so we may say it is whatever it is. The big show Elista Rancho is off week of April seventeenth. We may just slide that this podcast maybe Monday, I don't know, whatever Monday or something. You know, whatever it is, I don't time around the twenty fourth, leave it, talk back and give your opinion on what when you're hearing leaving, leave it, talkback when you hear it, and then we'll collect it when we get back. It's

like an answering the sine message old school. Come on, it's like a voice. You know what. I'm just I know, but sometimes they get a race when you can it matter. Okay, point is you're you're actually summoning these people right now, and where am I going? The think is it's not. My point is it's not wrong to put up a poll or to to put up some kind of a question to engage with your followers to who you I

legitimately want assistance with. This is no different anyone going all the slices that called Scary out on social media. I guess you were wrong calling Scary Boogie he's going to Paris and Lisbon. Well that those are just haters. Then at that point, I mean you're the one who's slanting it. I mean it's in your own head that that's where it came from a bad place. No, I

just think it comes from your normal point. I see people do it all the time, where people want suggestions on things and then put it up there, and sometimes they're they're the most materialistic things that you could you could talk about in life. But isn't that what social media really is at the end of the day for a lot of people. So I think you're overreacting. But anyway, I would like some real feedback. I don't know where I want to go. I've never been to these places before.

You should be thanking me for stepping out of the boxet, But you know what's scary. I admire you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying to plan a vacation to somewhere other than Miami. No offense to Miami. But I'm gonna go there too. But now, oh yeah, right, So I have to give you props, Yes, I'd like I have to. I have to say, scary, great job going to France and Lisbon instead of going to a room. I want to be cultured the Bahamas. You're talking about

a Brooklyn boy. Two Brooklyn boys. I want to go ahead. I want to learn stepping out of my box. Okay, stepping out of my box, and I would give you a compliment, all right, Okay in September waiting, there's a good chance we're planning a trip. My wife and I are planning it. Okay, we may go to Vegas, okay, which is out of which is out of our comfort zone for where we would normally go. And so she

says to me, she emailed me this morning. She said, oh, these are the flights, and this is what's going to cost. She said, I want to stay in a scary style hotel. Ah, that's what she said. Okay, so get scary recommendation for a scary style hotel. Three hotels right up front that I'm thinking about, he said. She's also gonna do her research on TikTok, but she's going to compare the TikTok reservations and recommendations rather to you, and we will come to a conclusion. So we will not be staying at

the motel six when we go to Vegas. Not this thing wrong with that, but she wants to stay somewhere nice because we don't often go away for a weekend. Like, hey, listen, if I could add to what I was about to tell what we were talking about just now. Actually, this trip, okay, is actually not even fully being fully funded by me. It's not like I have like mister I'm not mister moneybags here. This this trip is. This is a gift.

I was. I was from the radio, from iHeartMedia. I was awarded a twenty five year For twenty five years at iHeartMedia, we were given trips, we were given places to go. So I was given a trip to anywhere in the world. Basically I wanted to go and uh so this is my twenty This is a prize. I want a prize. So that's what this is. So don't even think about where ka from Oscarier, bougie bastard, asshole.

Hey guess what. I fucking sweat and sweated and toiled for twenty five years and I made it to a milestone to this company and they wanted to recognize that by setting me somewhere. So anyone, did you upgrade? Did you upgrade the hotel? I did, because now I'm I'm playing with house money. Absolutely, yeah, so I'm like, well, I might as well go from a fourth star to a five star hotel because that'll be the money that's coming out of my pocket. So there you go. So yeah, yeah,

I upgraded on ship. Yes I did. Okay, So let me ask you a question. When I go to Vegas. You know my favorite restaurant, right, you know, my favorite time I do it was Carmines. And I did go to Carmines Saturday night, which I'll talk about later. But there's a Carmines in Atlantic City, right, it's its Caesar's. Yes, I have to figure out. So my wife and I went to Carmines on Saturday, got the big clams and the palm. How do I I want to take her to, like, um,

a couple of nice, really nice restaurants. Yeah right, And I want to take her to some kind of residency concert, you know, really really blow the doors off on this. They are you know, for us. But I want to slip in a Carmines visit. Now, Carmines is very nice. I'm not saying it's not very nice, but she's gonna want to go somewhere she hasn't been before. I think it's totally okay to go to Carmines in another location

because it's totally different than right. Yeah, yeah, I mean I love Carmines too, but I think, I mean, I've been to the one of the Bahamas. I think the one in Washington, d C. I think though, if you really wanted to, you know, take it to the next level, go somewhere she hasn't been. And yeah, and I have some suggestions for Italian restaurants too. I'm very good. So what you're saying is I should go to comments for lunch, got it? Okay? Yeah? People that it's not very good,

you're funny. Um, yeah, you you told me you had something very upsetting to talk to me about. That the reason why you will late to the podcast today. What's going on? Um, I'll tell you next with Brodie and Scary. If I could just get Gandhi on the phone like to do this because this is this just bothers the hell out of me. What I drive them home every every day. That's very nice of you. Yeah, it's a scary caravan as you know. M Well, there's a lot

of people who live in the area. I'm surprisedly you're not driving like four or five people. Forget it. I drive home. It's close to boy Josh sometimes to work. And Andrew Andrew got Gandhi here, Hi, Gandhi. Hey, what's up? What's going on? What's going on with you? I hear Brodie, what's up? Rody? What's up? Gande? You're on the Brooklyn Boys podcast? And I have no idea. I'my not a good guy for taking people home every day and having

the scary Yeah, absolutely, okay, yeah, for sure. You guys are guests in my car, right yeah, oh humble bregg I got a brand new BMW. Yeah. So here we are the first time with the top down because it's like gonna be ninety degrees today and it was north of seventy five already, and we're like, let's take the top down. So we're driving. We get the Jersey City. I park at a gas station to get some gas. Now there's a gas being put into my car and we're exposed, right because the top is down. I have

a question. Yeah, so i'd interrupt. Did you go through the tunnel with the top down? That's a whole thank you, Okay, that's all. That's whole argument that you could die from the fumes up, that you never go with the top an old wives tail. No, it's not dead. He literally said. So we were like, are we gonna go through the tunnel with the top down because we roll the windows up? Are we still we want to have the top down?

Scars like it's happening. It's going down, it's happening. You know what worst case scenario, it's a bit for the air tomorrow. And Sama I looked at each other like, this man is gonna try to kill us for a bit for the air tomorrow. Well, it's not an absurd it's not a bit. It's more Emphasema gets the phone's going. I'm just saying that. I'm just saying I'm not the only one who does this. It feels this way. I think that the whole rolling up the windows in the

tunnel is a bit of a old wives tale. I don't think the air is any less or more clean. Oh my god, you know why the wives are all scary because they roll their windows up. They didn't die from emphysema. The vents suck out the dirty air in the tune. Top down. Dude, if we'd all be died dead from carbon monoxide if tunnels didn't work and remove filthy air. Oh, I wouldn't be dead because my windows are up. You guys are crazy. But anyway, that's a whole other w that's not why this is backfire. As

he told the story, I'm like, wait a minute. He didn't say down, Oh my god, that went through the whole tunnel. Sam and I are like hacking and gagging. We get out the other side. He said, how do you feel? I said, well, my lums feel a little blacker, but I mean cool. Whatever, what are we going to say. He's the one driving, it's his car. If he wants to kill us, I guess that's on, you know us. We shouldn't have got in. There are times I've been

in Scary's convertible. He'll pull up next to somebody smoking. I'm like, can you pull away? He's like, no, it's fine, it's great wives tale. We live in the city of toxins. This is this toxins all around us at all times. It's inevitable. You're saying there's a higher concentration in the tunnel, Yes, for sure, it's a tube. Scary, what do you think? Yeah, but this defense every two feet and that's sucking the

air out. Oh so it's it's gonna be okay. You people smoked on a plane, fact like they used to. Because this fence, that's not why we're here today. Oh scary. Why don't you park your BMW in the middle seven twenty seven, seven thirty seven and let the fumes from the car. The vents will take it out. It's fine, long flight, lad, let me fast forward. Let's fast forward to the gas station. Okay, where they're filling my tank up.

I'm so glad Gandhi's here. We are going some random may some random maniac guy approaches the vehicle with some literature for all of us. Gandhi, I'll let you take it from here. Okay. So we're sitting there, this man comes up. He's got pamphlets. He you know, they're about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He hands all three of us a pamphlet. We take it, fine, no problem,

no beef. Then he looks at Sam and I and he's like, just so you know, if you're not bathed in the blood of Christ, you're gonna burn in hell. So Sam hands this pampled back to him and she's like, oh, well, I'm a Jew, so that's already gonna happen. I handled back to him. I say, yeah, I'm Hindu, so you know. And he says, it's not too late. You guys are gonna burn in hell. It's not too late. So both of us are kind of like, get the fuck out of here, like yeah, but they were rude to him.

They were like mouthing ude. Oh no, no, we were not rude. We were not mouthing off. I'm gladly glad grab the pamphlet. I said, I'm a Catholic. I'll take the pamphlet. Thank you so much, sir. Almost like nobody, brody, nobody was mouthing off to him at all. This man looked at us and he goes, I used to burn people, so trust me on this one. You guys are gonna burn in hell. But that was only after he was provoked because Sam was was talking some Sam was talking shit.

Nobody was talking shit. She handed the pamphlet back and said, I'm Jewish, so I'm all set. He said, you're gonna burn in hell. She said, I don't have a hell. I think I'm okay. I was like, we're all good. That's her being a smart ass. That's her being a smart ass. Not being a smart ass. Scary. This man is approaching two people and telling us we're going to burn in hell for being terrible human beings. Like, give me a break. Then he tells us he's birched people

in his life. Go away from the car, sir, Just go away. But here's the thing that is not your battle to fight. It's my car. I'm sitting there and I'm you know, he wasn't fighting your car. I'm brave on the outside and I'm shitting on the inside at this point. By the way, so scary. You don't have crazy pyro insurance in case the guy set the car on fire and I've covered it. The thing is, I'm okay, I'm here to be a pacifier. Why don't you take

some wants about to suck on you. Why don't you take some lessons from your great great grandfather Mahatma Gandhi. Didn't he believe in My great great grandfather would not have listened to that bullshit. He was a revolutionary. He stood up for what he believed in. There was no violence, there was no fighting. And by the way, this man is on Sam and My side. He wasn't near scary. Scary was in zero danger whatsoever. But the thing is, I'm saying, yeah, this guy's gonna fucking kick my car.

The girls argue, thank you, set Gandhi. You you made a mistake of saying he wasn't near Scary. I don't know what scariest problem is. Scary's not worried about you and Sam. He said it. He's worried about his car. The man was on the side of the car, not the Gandhi side, on the same side. He told us out in no uncertain terms. He said, I wasn't worried about you two. I didn't want him to fuck up

my car. Like there's a man telling us he burns people, telling us we're going to burn in hell getting irritated at us, and Scary is worried about his car. But he's only getting irritated. You guys are being combative toward him. Why can't you just take the pamphlet, say thank you so much and have a nice day. He would go away. Gandhi at any point at Scary say excuse me, sir, if you're going to burn them, can you please have them step out of the car first. No, but I

think he would have. Yeah, I could see like the guy who was getting ready with the gasoline and the and the and the flat and the lighter. Sir, if you're gonna have to burn these heathens, would you please have them step outside the car? My car is Christian? Pretty much all I could say, you give a shit about anything? Car. He didn't care that someone was being extremely rude to two people who he allegedly cares about people either of us rude to him. I'm not listening.

We have to we have to eat shit. Why should we have to eat I'll tell you why, because because if the guy is as crazy enough to say that he's set people on fire, and is that much of a maniac to begin with, then you know that you wouldn't put it passed him to do something crazy on the spot right then and there. To me, he's highly illogical, and he's a highly illogical maniac as it is. You don't want to poke that there, and I believe I

don't disagree. I don't think us handing a pamphlet back to him is really melting off and like starting shit. I think you expecting us to just hold on to it and eat ship from somebody who's being abusive toward us people. It came over and Poach approached us and he opened it in hell because I'm a hell he said. He started by saying, he handed the pamphlet. That's how he started. He handed the pamphlet, and we handed it back. That's how he started. Why do you think we handed

it back. I happily took it from him, and I was gonna just say, okay, cool, thanks sir, have a wonderful day. And then he hits us with you guys are going to burn in hell, get out of here. Scary, I think because it was something Sam said that set him off. I'm telling you it was. But I'm a Jew. Yeah, but the things people off the best who I'd like to chime in him. But before you do that, but in my in my opinion, the best, the best and the best solution of the best way this Christian, the

best way this could have gone. Is he approached the vehicle. Obviously we were exposed because the top was down, and he hands him hands each one of us the pamphlets. He says what he has to say, Jesus will repent. You were There's still time to repent because this world is coming to an end, and you just shake him off, and you'd be like, yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. Let him say his peace and walk away. But it wasn't. That is how monsters grow by apathetic people who just

allow it because chickens. It's not our job. It's not our job to come at people. And I am not a social justice warrior, dude. I just want to get out of there with my life workers. Yeah, I know that, but he's irrational. There's nothing you're gonna say to this guy's so white manning this and being like you should just deal with it and move on, little lady, that's what you're doing. You don't understand what it's like for people to say shit to you because you're gonna feed.

You're feeding the throwing logs in the fire though by talking back to him. Scary, Yes, scary, same scenario. You're in Gandhi's car. You're not quite as upset, are you? No? No, I still have there you go, Yes, Brodie high fly from Afar. There you go, there you go. I think, I think, Look, I'm gonna be honest with you as as someone who is Jewish, I've been in that situation many times. This is not about religious this point it's

about some creep coming up to your look. I I would prefer to get into debates with people and and and tell them that I don't want any part of anything where I have to be threatened that I'll burn in hell if I don't follow every rule. I don't want to believe in that kind of system. That being said, I respect Sam and Gandhi for what they did. I have to admit I'm probably more of a coward. I probably in the past have said, oh, yeah, I'll take

a look at this, thank you so much for sharing that. Yes, And then when they walked away, I gave him the finger and I said ship to my wife, and I'm like, whatever, that's what I would have done, hold on, hold on and threw it out. I'm not gonna read this thing that's not behind the scenes. Yeah, but I hope if I have to, I'm not trying to plus Scary Jones. If I'm with my wife, I'm more likely to suck

it up and not cause a scene. But if I had been there in that car, and what you know, once I stopped coughing from the fumes of the tunnel, I would have said I would have I probably would have gotten I would have I would have cased the guy seen up and down if if he seemed like he had a gas can with him in a lighter, and also my place of it in the car. But you have to get through Sam and Gandhi to get

to me first. I probably would have said something similar to what they said, because you know, enjoy your religion, like and that this is not really a conversation about religion as much as it's a conversation about standing up for yourself and Scary's car. But if you enjoy your religion, go, enjoy your religion. But let me have my day, Let me have my emphasema, let me cough, let me let me fix my hair blown in the wind, whatever you know,

but go away. All I want to do was to choose the path of least resistance and diffuse the situation. And by Gandhi and and and Sam voicing their opinion which I agreed with, to this guy who is an irrational motherfucker, you know, it doesn't it doesn't compute, it doesn't add up. So if why are you wasting your breath on this fucking random weirdo? That's all I said. Guy.

If the guy said to you. I want you to say your mother's a whore and your two friends in the car a horse, or I'm gonna scratch your car. Would you have said, Gandhi and Sama, who is my mother's a whore? Yes? Like, where do you enjoy the line? How far would you have gone along with this guy? If this guy said, pulled down your pants, I'm gonna scratch your car, would you pull down your pants? No? Right, you'd stand up for yourself at some point. But all

he was doing is different. All he was doing was handing us three pamphlets and spreading what he thought was his missionary fucking gospel to the world because he had a fucking I'm scary. The three of us took the pamphlets. Did Sam and I not take them? Yeah? You handed them back though about it. But as you took them, then turn and look at us and say, oh, you two are definitely going to burn in hell. Well, then you get your pamphlet back. He didn't say that until

Sam said what she said. No, he said, if you're not bathed in the blood of Christ, you're burning in hell. And Sam said, oh, I'm a Jew, And he said, well, then you're definitely burning in hell, and that's when she handed the pamphlet back. And I don't think she's wrong to have done that. Yeah, but to me, he started off being polite. He turned a corner, so we turned a corner with him. Is it the smartest thing to do? No? But at some point you have to step for something.

And I just think you have no idea what it's like because people don't come at you for who you are about anything. You are a white Catholic male. You don't deal with any of that. I'm spineless thing for They're like, fuck off, I'm fineless. But people come to come at me for other things. But we're not just talking about religion. People are no but I will say that this but this world has gotten progressively crazier. It

has gotten much more nuts. There's more mental health and wellness problems on walking this planet than they ever were before. We agreed on that the more people just look away from it, the more it grows. Something has to change, right, change it, or you can be made an example of and get killed. I don't know the worst case scenarios out there. I don't know what this guy was capable of.

Who knows if he's capable enough to be walking around a fucking gas station on a ninety de Greek day, handing out pamphlets saying everyone's he could be that, he could be fine, he could be next level fucking crazy to do more than this the ultimate question, here's the ultimate question, scary, and then we can we can maybe move on. I don't know. Ye if somebody said you scary, you tell the story right, and somebody says to you, wow, scared,

that's some story. Is every okay? Be honest, your response would be yes, my car is fine. None, we're all okay, We're all okay. I was fearing for your kid. He was still driving the Masda. Well, the car was the first thing that would he would have hit because it was right there before you guys, and then he would have come for you guys, or me or whoever. I don't know. What you said was, oh my god, you guys,

he could have fucked up my car. And Sam and I both tackled because there was no concern for either of us there that was upset. It was, oh my god, he would have sucked up my car. You know that I care about you guys. And that was me being halfway third, no, fourth, the spare tire is second. I just think you leave lunatics like that alone and you let them, let them say what they have to say. I mean, do you do you really come at people that are talking to themselves in the middle of the

street anywhere to themselves. They're not talking to me the street. I just keep walking. If someone shouting at you walking down the street at three o'clock in the morning, what do you do. Do you yell back at them or do you just keep walking and ignore? No, I would keep walking, So then this would be the I was asking that way. The equivalent would you the equivalent of ignoring? Would you be like, take the pamphlet, thank you so much, say what you want. I'm actively bothering me. I'm going

to say something back. If someone's just screaming into the sky, let them scream into the sky. This person actively approached us, and he started by saying some bullshit. You're saying, turn the other chief walk away. Maybe, but at some point people get sick of that shit, That's all I'm saying. And I don't think you've ever reached the point where you're sick of shit because you don't experience it all right, scary.

I I disagree on this. I'm like I again, I'm more of a coward than the two girls apparently, But I understand what you're saying. No, no no, no, no, I'm never on your side. I'm saying I am. Don't call me a douchebag. Sea. I stood up for myself. I understand where they're coming from because and this is a whole other conversation about religion and our lives and what we what we put up with. But I would like

to stand up to people like that. For instance, if somebody came to me on the street right and handing out pamphlets in Times Square, vegan restaurant, vegan restaurant, get a menu, I would be like, dude, I like me. I would say something. But if they were a crazy killer and they're like, i've burned vegetables before in my life, I'll burn you, I would probably take the menu and be like, broccoli looks exactly my point. You're on my side.

You're not saying it, but you actually are a great no, no, thank you my side side because they have the balls to say what I would like to say. I'm not on your side because you care more about your call if you were in my position and tunnel, if it was your brand new Darts charger and you were in the driver's seat and the same thing happened, how would you have felt if they said what they said. My car's a lease and the top is always up because

it's not a convertible, so I'd be fine. Also, I have a three hundred and seventy horsepower engine, I'd zip the fuck out of there. So with the gle is still in the side of the gas tank. If that's what it took to protect my friends, boom ambout, and then you can get so far to the gas station. I love you, Gandhi, I love you, and you have more balls than I do. And maybe maybe I search deep within to find I should sign up for this

guy's team. It's a team where if I don't do it right, I'm gonna burn in Hell, Versus the team I'm on that doesn't believe in Hell. So I'm good, I'm covering mind. It was like, oh, it's cool, I don't believe in Hell. No problems. Sam was definitely the one that was getting salty with the guy first, and then you held back, not listen. It was pass over. Sam hasn't that bread? Leave alone? I'm telling you, Brodie. She was not being salty. She was like, I'm a jew.

Here you go. You can take this back. I said, I'm a hand dude. You can have this back. Take so much, have a great and then he can, he explained, and then she says, I don't have a hell, so I'm good. Like she got smart with she got smart with him. He knows that he's take your take about insults that we're not coming at you about who you are in your religion. You're taking He was looking at me up, he was looking at me. He was saying

the same shit to me. Hee. You immediately bowed and fucking showed him your belly and we're like, I'm a Catholic. I'm okay, bleeve blie. I was just trying. I was trying to make friends in that moment, the moment I was trying to make friends. Man's scary. Scary if a guy. If if you're in a bar and and and a man comes up to you, happens to be gay and says, hey, you know, I'm really interested in you. Starps hitting on you, hitting on you, do you say to him, Hey, you

know what I'm not here for that. I'm here to hang out. Would you be like, hey, I'm straight. You're telling you I was straight? Right? No, I wouldn't. I don't think I would. I don't know what I would do really. But that person is like, hey, man, if you're not here, canary apples and all ranges, apples and apples.

This is because this guy is an irrational weirdo. You're not telling a person who come up to you in a bar is of singing a sound mind, so they'll understand that message when I give it to them that I'm straight. Let's say Let's say let's say, and again it's not being gay or not being gay, but let's say a man who is gay walks up to you the gas station is like, hey, man, uh uh, you know, give me your phone number. I'm into you. I'd like to take you out to dinner, and if you don't,

I'm gonna you know, you're gonna burn in hell. You'd be like, you know what, I'm flattered, but I'm straight. You wouldn't be like, no, I'm gonna committed relationship with another man right now. You wouldn't say that, yeah, you're you're you're all you're doing is serving up preposterous examples that would never happen in real life. A man would never find you attract That's probably accurate. Oh my god, you're teaming up. I'm now now I'm feeling I feel attacked.

You guys are both teaming up on me. I didn't call it what you expect. Yeah, were you calling me in the hopes of you and Brody teaming up on me? No? I was hoping that I get I would actually get something out of this other than that I was wrong.

I thought that the scariest wrong jingle wrong. I thought that I would I thought that Brody would actually say, hey, I'm with you on this because there was a lot of things that were at play here, that the guy was volatile, and that things could have happened for the worst. So yes, I was hoping to because I because I wanted to know that I wasn't crazy and feeling the way I feel. But obviously now I scared. The only thing about all of this is that is crazy at all.

I get how why you feel what you feel. I understand where you're coming from. I'm saying I wish you could understand where Sam and I are coming from. But furthermore, your concern to all of this was not Sam or I or anything that happened. It was your car. It really was everything, it would could have been anything. I just liked diffusing situations and I didn't want to I

didn't want to see all of it everything. So the difference is if I was in my Dodge Charger, I I would probably in the back of my mind be thinking, I'll be honest with you, scary gandhi Sam, please don't get hurt, don't don't get hurt, not don't say it. But I'd be like, oh God, I would prefer if they didn't say it, because I would be worried for them. But I would not be thinking about my car. That

I'll give you. I'll put that like, not worried about my car, thinking about all worry about my my friends and if they will be okay. I would hope for them to be quieter because I worry about because they should be quiet, only because I know I'm not saying they should be quiet. You guys are fearless and and and I don't know where you guys get it from. And I'm I you're a better man than I. No it has. I'm just saying we're coming from very very

different comes to this kind of stuff. People were don't want to be. I don't have to be right for the sake of being right. I know I'm right in my own head, so I don't. I could just brush it off and no, no, no, I'm talking about if I was in this situation. I'm with the guy with the guy, Yes, with the guy, Not with you guys. I'm just saying I'm so, I will, I will bite my tongue, I'll like, yes, you're right, Yes, I should repent,

I should burn in hell. Yes, whatever, goodbye, get out of here, go on to the next car, pedal your shit somewhere else. That's that is, That's my way of handling situations like that. But you know, but you you will probably last a whole lot longer than Samurai are gonna last in some capacity where somebody decides to be crazy and snap at the people who had something to say, you're right. You can live a life and fear, and you will probably go a lot further or farther. I

don't know which one it is. I don't want Berdie to correct me either way. I think that that's how you want to listen, you should live, and then probably a ton of people who agree with you. I'm just saying, Sam and I have dealt with bullshit a little more so it just gets really frustrating. And every now and then you just have to tell some people to fuck off. And we didn't even tell him to fuck off. We

just handed his pamphlets back. Yeah, I would prefer if you told a sane, sound minded person to fuck off as opposed to a really we we didn't tell them the fuck off. Insane people of sound mind don't do that stuff. That's true, all right. Speaking of insane people, I just googled should I drive through a tunnel my top down? Yeah, here's the first thing I've found. It's better to keep your windows closed due to the excess

exhaust fumes. Let your car's filtering system, assuming it has one, which I'm sure your car does handle, providing you with relatively clean air. Or you could put your AC in recirculating mode to help keep out the fumes and the smells. Okay, great, thank you, all right, just take another dagger today. This is backfired. I love you, Gandhi. You could go out, go home and do I love you bye and We're gonna bye guys podcast. Wow, Well that was fun. Didn't

see that coming. That was again that I would have wanted them to say less out of fear of my own fear for them. Yeah, but you worry about the herd too much. It's at least that was part of it. It was. It was just I was, I was half joking, I was. I was worried for everybody's safety at that point. The guy, I don't know what he's gonna do, dude. I was driving down sixth Avenue today on the way to work in four lanes at five o'clock in the morning.

Road is relatively empty, thank god, And all of a sudden there's a traffic jam ahead and some fucking random guy is like looking around into space, like in the middle of the second lane, just like whoa like like what and people had to go around him, they'd just stop. God forbid, that guy could have gotten run over and run over. This is what we're dealing with. This is what's happening in this world. I don't mean to be death, doom and destruction, but no, no, no, I just like

to my mom. My mom always told me keeping nose clean and only talk to your friends. That guy was not my friend. I'll take in your pamphlet, thank you very much. Yeah, yeah, I can see you later. All right, all right, we can move on please And and man oh man, we've we've we've really eaten up a lot of time on this and I'm so I want to talk about the city because you were talking about driving

on sixth Avenue last episode. You were complaining about e bikes and the green pathway in the street where they're riding right. Oh, yeah, they're coming out now. Yeah. So again, my wife and I were in Times Square. We're going to see a Broadway show, which we're gonna talk about because you've seen it and I've seen it and it was fantastic. So we're on our way to see Shucked, which is a new Broadway comic comedy, and we're trying to cross eighth Avenue. It was eighth and we we

step out into the street and and there's a green lane. Yeah, green lane. Scary was talking. Now, We're careful, you don't get We're on the U southwest corner. So yep, uh, we're on the left side of the street, on the southern side. How did that go closer? To downtown. Cars not cars, e bikes and motorcycles start flying when the light changes and then making left turns right where we're standing. One of them missed me maybe by two inches. Tell you this is a real thing. I'm like, oh my god,

scary was right. So I'm gonna give you props for that, because the city was insanity. And it's only because the weather is getting better, so there's more of them out there. Yeah, and there's tourists and look, I don't know if it was the pandemic. I don't know if it's tourism, but no matter how busy Manhattan is, and it's probably any city USA, but New York is probably the biggest victim of this of this problem. When you cross a horde of people crossed the street going one way and a

horde of people across the street coming at you. Yeah, And it used to be eighty five percent of the horde would stay to the right, because that's how we're taught,

that's how you walk in America. And eighty five percent would stay to their right, which is my left, and most people would be able to and a couple of British people would go on the wrong side of course, now everybody stands completely wide the whole width of the crosswalk, right, So instead of like five people wide going one way and five people wide going the other, it's now ten people wide going one way and ten people wide going the other way, and everybody has to slam into each other. Yeah,

the fuck is going on. There's no rules. Stay to the fucking right. It's lawlessness. They don't care. People think I'm gonna go right to the front and and stand ten wide because I'm gonna hurry. Manhattan, you're crashing into other people. Manhattan is just sloppy in general. It's gotten sloppy. They used to be a flow and then who could you could flow? Now you got mopeds and motorcycles and vespas and e bikes and scooters all going and tigers and they're all going to Some of them are going

the wrong way. Others have that nice little green lane and it's on a one one way street. But yet, but yet, but yet, the the bikers are are in the middle of the street. When there's a bike lane, they have lanes for them, build for them, and they're still going and they're going the wrong way. There is no rules, they're gonna have to paint north and south colors on the sidewalk so people know which side of the street walk on. What happened to human beings the pandemic.

People are out of their minds now. It's disgusting. Year olds come out of the pandemic as sixteen year olds and not know what side of the street. Then there's you got Then you got the food those food uh what he called those the places, the places where they uh, the food shacks, the shacks where they people are sitting, the outdoor dining shocks or seating, the outdoor seating pavilions, and these structures that are up avilions, whatever the hell

they are. There's bike racks, the city bike racks take it up. It's just disgusting. And then the bike lanes, and then there's the there's the garbage. It's it is at the city. I'm just complaining about people. No, but all of it adds to the chaos and the lawlessness slices. When you come to New York, if you're not from New York, enjoy the greatest city in the world. Really it is. But stay to the right. Same rules apply that you drive a car as on the sidewalk don't

stop short, keep moving, stay to the right. Everyone's high. You want to look up, look up at a distance. No, everyone's high. Everyone's everyone's smoking weed. That's all all this contributes to it. It all contribute to people, but not on the street. You can't breathe and all being in a tunnel with the top down. And and just because weed is legal in New York, it's weed, and it's it's it's legal to smoke ah and these, that doesn't mean that these dispensaries have the right to pop up

and sell THHC. Because they do not have They don't have the right too. They don't have the lot, they don't have licenses. You have to be licensed for it. So there's hundreds of these, story was popping up. I went in there yesterday with a buddy of mine. He goes, oh, here's another one of these. It's dragged you in. Yeah, well jet Ski Bryan, jet Sky Bryan. And I'm like, so here's what they do. They advertise the Delta eight, which is the legal anyone could sell without a license.

And you walk in, there's candy, there's soda whatever, and there's and then there are these mirrored mirrord display cases and you could see like the products that they're offering. But and then the guy verbally tells you, yeah, we got uh, we got rolled joints. We got whatever you want here, and then he's like yeah, he goes, oh want give me give me five of them. All of a sudden, the guy is behind the counter behind a mirrored glass um case view case which you could see into.

It's a two way fucking mirror case. It he he reaches underneath and in and you see his hands going into the case almost toward you. But do you realize it's a physical impossibility because you don't see his hands, you don't see him doing it, and like, oh my god, that's a whole hidden fucking closet that he's got underneath here for the illegal shit. And he comes up and he puts the whole case on top of the counter, the countertop, and he's like, yeah, what do you want?

We got this, this, and this, and then you take what you want and then he puts it back in. But his hands are going toward you inside the case, but you don't see his hands. You see a reflection of what's in the case. It's the biggest psych out it's almost like an illusion, optical illusion is But so what did he bring out? Oh, illegal marijuana, just like we just literally joints. Okay, so there are types of

marijuana that aren't legal in New York. Yeah, well no, no, no, no, it's all legalized the THHC regular marijuana legs, but it's illegal to sell without a license, which is pretty much kind. So he's pulling out the stuff that makes you go

up to people and threaten to burn them at cars. Yeah, basically, anytime you see these dispensaries or whatever, or they're selling like the gummies with the Delta eight, which is totally legal to sell without a license, there's a whole lot more back there that they could that they're going to sell you. That they can sell you, but you have to ask for it. Wink wink. It's one of those things. But will not be doing that, wink wink. Well, I'm

just saying that. Yeah, the licensed THHC real weed dispensaries that they have are few and far between in the city. Most of them don't have the license. They only have the license to sell the Delta eight, but they're carrying the other stuff anyway and selling it to you from behind the counter, behind an optical illusion counter. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I wish this pod cast is not visual, but man oh man I anyway I saw, I couldn't believe what I was seeing

visual you'd be bringing out drugs on the camera. What are you talk you know? I would try and show you what do what do these counters look like? It's like you're looking into a display case. You've totally knocked all these guys and given the police to the tip off on where they're hiding all the good ship or

the illegal ship they should know. Yeah, you think this is like Times Square Canal Street where they put the really expensive fake purses in the behind the wall, every right, and it's a wall that doesn't look like it opens or something, or it's like a trap door. Yeah right, that's the equivalent of what was going on. Interesting anyway, all right, we got to get a break, all right, way behind. I'm still but hurt from the last segment. All right, can we talk about Shucked for a minute?

We absolutely can. For several minutes, Very Scary went to see Shocked with a couple of other people from the Morning show, and he texts me, and he says, oh my god, the show is fantastic. I thought of you the whole time, inting me yeah, because it's puns and it's clever and it's it's rapid fire jokes. And usually when people say that, I go, yeah, okay, all right, it's fine, okay, I'm sure it was hilarious. And I start reading the reviews and they're like, holy crap, these

are really good reviews. It sounds like Scary knows what he's talking about. So if you guys saw my social media, you would see that I went and I loved it. So I we went Saturday night. We went to Carmines afterwards afterwards, and so we went. We had really good seats, which I think we sat sixth row off to the right. We got lucky on the seats, and Humble brake, well, we got lucky on the seats. I got it, Yeah, got lucky. Yeah, I got lucky. I want a trip

to uh to uh Lisbon in Paris. All right, Scary, first of all, the jokes, flying fast and furious, You're one hundred percent right. I said that there will be no longer than thirty seconds without a laugh. No spoilers. The brother. Oh my god, the brother, priceless, great character. The story. There's two storytellers who narrate the show, and I love them both. But I want to give a special I want to get this guy on our podcast if we can. I would I take anybody from the show,

but Gray Henson, the male storyteller. His facial expressions and his timing unbelievable. Um. The I have never, and I've seen a fair amount of Broadway shows, I have never seen a standing ovation in the middle of an act where somebody's again, I'm gonna say, who are what? Somebody sings sings a song in the middle of an act and the place stopped. Everybody still, Oh, we didn't get that reaction. I don't know what part you're talking about. I don't want to talk. Um. Well, here's the thing.

The night before we were there, the person who got the standing ovation was outsick, and um missed the performance the night before. I believe or had missed a performance in two that week from what we read online. And so it's possible you went to a show where this person had off the day or is it mattenee, whatever it was. Sometimes you don't get the full cast. Someone else whatever I handing that little slip of paper flu

slides out of the playbill. I'm like, no replacement Lynn Manuel Miranda will be played by Mike Smith, Like, damn it. But usually the person who fills in is phenomenal, and I'm sure the person who fills in for this person is phenomenal. That being said, I've never seen everyone stand up, and they had stopped the show while everyone stood up in the song. The difficulty and the quality of the performance was odd. There's a lot of women in the show. There was a few ways. Was it a female solo vocal?

I will say it's someone who was on Glee? How about that? That's it all right? Okay? Um? The cast is spot on um and the timing, the jokes, the timing the comedy, and on a lot on a live stage like that that many one liners and and and quick singers, expressions and the hand gestures, and you're like, what is shocked about? I will say, they make a lot of corn puns. And so if you look at my Twitter, yeah, at David Brody, I tweeted that I enjoyed the show, and the shuck Twitter account tweeted me

back a pun. They were like oh, I'm either yeah, I'm glad you had a quarantastic time or something. So you know me with puns, I went back and forth about how I got into the city in a jiffy, you know, and and uh, anyway, the thing we started doing cornpun started doing corn puns from five or six tweets, I will say that much fun, I will say, yeah, I just want to say that never ever. This is this is a classic example of judging. Don't judge a book by its cover, because a lot of people go

in saying it's a play about corn. What could be funny about this? Well, I don't understand it, but it's work. This is the word of mouth smash hit of the year, I think, and it's gonna I think it's gonna win some Tony's because of the comedy, the comedic precision and everything. The whole thing is just awesome. You've got to see Shucked. If you're in town. Make it a priority. The interesting thing about Shucked is it takes place in a very

small town and it's about small town life. But if you're from the big city, there's enough jokes that like include you as a big city person, right, But if you're a small town person visiting New York. Then then there's also jokes that you get and it's like, right, it's like aimed at everybody. Just a small town boy living in a lull anyway, Buttom reason South Detroit. I I didn't know what to expect. That's a city boy. Sorry, yeah, yeah,

it doesn't know what to expect going in. Um. I will say, if you're from Tampa, you will enjoy the scenes and take place in Tampa, or you will not enjoy the scene. No, hilarious. So yeah, small town and then there's a scene that takes place in Tampa. Uh, it's just I was. It was one of those shows that you go to and you're like, why can't I own this on on DVD? Right, Like, I hope they stream it. I want to watch this again. Yeah, so I would go see it again because of the NonStop jokes.

I would go to see it again because I feel like I missed some jokes because some people were laughing so hard that they were missing some of the lines that were coming out, and I'm like or something, just like wait a second, they laughed at that and I didn't get it, And now it's too late for me. To turn back, because there were a couple of times where I was just you know, I had to say, what was that joke? At that moment that everybody got a bit of jokes that I laughed at. I'm not

bragging about me, but I laughed right away. And then there was a pause and then people like you could see people explaining some things, and all of a sudden there was a second wave of laughter when people get said, what it is the kidney stone jokey? Holy shit? Yeah, all right, we'll leave it there. All right, we've gone on and on about something that nobody has seen. Yeah, okay, can I just say one more thing or unrelated to shucked? Yes,

but related. So you were like, oh, you got lucky with your seats, right because I had good seats, and when you go to a Broadway show, you you you pay more for better seats. That'd be fair, right, you do? Yes? Okay, okay, you can you can see the people better, you look closer to the action. Fine, Okay, you heard what AMC is doing right a couple of weeks oldest story? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. They released their maps last week, so you could see the seating charts when you go to AMC theater.

You can pick out any seat you want, Okay, Now, I'm okay. If you want to discount the front row as the front row sucks, you gotta look up. I get that discount the front row. But they are now doing concert seating pricing in a movie theater. Wow. So if you want to sit in the middle of the aisle and the middle of the theater, you have to pay more money for your ticket. If you want to sit off to the side, you pay less for your ticket.

I feel if people don't have the money to spend for their family of four, family of five, whatever, you have to get shitty seats now, yeah, because you don't want to spend the extra twelve fifteen dollars. How do you feel about that? I say, fuck them, That's what I say. I understand that these movie theater companies are

these big conglomerates, are struggling because they haven't recovered. There was some crazy fact out about only like a fraction of the people have comeback since before the pen pandemic that they had, and so they're looking for ways creative ways to make money. So this priced seating thing, to me, I see it. That's for concerts. That's for live action stuff. I feel like movie theaters should not be subject to that with this staggered pricing thing, because it's well, it's

just unfair. It's you know, and you're not watching something that's like a live person like playing guitar. Want you want to be closer. I want to see the finger fingers on the guitar and want to put it. Okay, so they're pretty much movie screen. Yeah, so your angle is slightly better. I gotta listen. It's first come, first served. Back in the old days, you just got there early and you hope you got a seat. So technology comes

out and you're like, oh, I can pick my seat. Well, if you want to sit in the middle, what do you do? You pick your seat before the other guy does, and you get your seats again. You want to discount the first row, Discount the first row. The prices on the better they are the discount of your first row. That's how they're gonna balance it. They're gonna discount the first excuse me, discout the first row, and then raise the prices for you, Bruce, Row two is is no

better than row one. Found's a little bit better. It's a row better if you're in a recliner theater. Okay. So I'm looking at the map and it looks like the front and then off to the side. If you're right, it's a little bit less. But the middle it's all gold seating, all gold platinum seating or whatever. You gotta pay top down. So they raised the raise the price to cine marks it whatever I want. It was that's the one that's filing for chapter eleven. It's not that's regal. Nope.

It was in the news today, Cinemark. Hold on the stories. I don't want to misquote myself. Uh cinemamrk uh chapter eleven. Let's see, um, there's a story about let's see here, they're having trouble. I just know they're having issues. They're closing, they're filing. Um. Okay. According to market Watch, Cinemark stock leaps towards eight month high as it scored the highest one day total. Uh yeah, you should invest in Cinemark. Box office boom Planet based Cinemark has highest single day ever.

Maybe it wasn't Cinemark. There was a negative story that kim Mark. I'll tell you why Cinemark's doing well, and I might buy their Stock movie theaters are nice. The sound system is amazing, and it's all new, and they don't charge extras to sit in the middle. O AMC, which has more theaters in my area, the seats are ripped up, the lights don't work, and they have the audacity. Remember that's I told you. I saw toy Story four or whatever and it was a brown like a rectangle

on the screen. That's the kind of shit you're paying extra for it at AMC. Fuck you, AMC. Do you get free bedbugs at AMC? Though you know I told you were full of shit the last time. I'm not going to debate you on that one. You're not going to debate you. Wrong bedbugs, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I can't stand I had. I had to go to a theater to see air Um. Yeah, you told me it was AMC. I loved it, but it was just this smell that was protruding through the like old carpet smell,

like in the in the theater. Oh. I went to that AMC, that junkie one in Times Square. I couldn't believe it. The place was shit. It just looks like they haven't done a damn thing to it since they opened up all those years ago, and the places like tattered, destroyed, disgusting. It was. It was sad. It was one forty second Street on the south side of the street. Yes, you know, that's the one in the in the fancy old building right attached to an Applebe's in a David Busters the

AMC twenty five. It sucks if I if I remember correctly, that building was on the corner. They physically moved the entire building over one address and then opened it up as a movie theater and then put they put a skyscraper where the movie theater was. Whatever they slid the building over. That place needs some work, yeah, well, paint job, put lipstick on a pig. Yeah yeah, absolutely. Anyway, all right,

I'm gonna read some listeners stuff real quick. Yes, and I know we have to we have to mosey on out of here. Uh yeah, we do, we do, Okay. So Audra said, had to send this to you. It made me think about your rants on this exact Facebook topic. So in her face book group Mom's group on Facebook, uh, somebody wrote in search of a really good vegan plant based restaurant in North Jersey, and Joel wrote, salad works. Now that's a that's not a vegan place. It's I'm

just a place it sells salad. Then he writes salad works question Mark. Then he writes, I don't really know of any I have a vegan vegetarian rest recipe I can share with you, though, How is that helpful, Joel? Not helpful at all? She wants a restaurant. Maybe let's go with friends and your Your suggestion is I don't know any but I give you a recipe for one thing. Fuck you. That doesn't help, but anybody, Well, let's go. What else I have from listeners? Oh, I got a

I get the blueprints, the blueprints. Yeah, that's funny. Maybe they're hoping that they've just landed, like got lightning in a bottle and then they reached out and they landed on an Emily. But that means somebody is fallen for it. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Yeah, sad,

speaking of fallen for it. Mildred on LinkedIn, So mildred on LinkedIn again. I only accept connections from people that are in my industry or or similar or like on a business relationship.

like Facebook, which is people you might know? Yeah, linked LinkedIn does the same thing. LinkedIn does. Um, hey, here's someone that you're friends with or people with similar interest to you suggestions. Yeah, so Mildred says, your profile keeps recommending, Your profile keeps being recommended to me by LinkedIn. Oh really that I should connect with you? So here goes So I look up Mildred and she's business professional and company designs websites. And she used to be a barista.

Doesn't say where, but she was a barista somewhere. Oh my god, you know what. I was a barrist at Starbucks back in the day, as a manager, but technically I was training to be a breesta. Did you accept her? So? I said, she seems like a noble enough reason as a former Starbucks manager and trainer and of course a barista, I accept. I septed a friendship. On day two, she says, would you be interested in getting a website built for

you free? My company builds websites for free, and uh, you know, if you want some of the more fancy, ornate or you know, upscale additions to the website, then of course we can then discuss it. But the basic website is free and I'd love to do that, feel So I wrote back, You know, I appreciate the generous offer, but I'm getting the impression you friended me so you could pitch me on a free website. No, no, not

at all. I was just thinking, now that we're connected, I would let you know that my company offers free websites. And I see this right now, it sounds like you're talking to a bot. No no, no, no, no no, it's a real personal person or maybe AI. No no no, so she writes back, no, no, no, I friended you for this right reason. I just wanted to share. Like, okay, a few days later, you're not on LinkedIn. You list all your skills, your previous jobs, and then like I have,

like audio editing. If Scary Jones cared enough about me, he would go on my my LinkedIn and say I recommend Broody for audio editing. He's good at it. Oh, I guess for perspective. I've asked you already, you haven't. I don't really, I don't really go on LinkedIn. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, but I've asked you to anyway, you haven't. I asked Scary Jones to write me recommendation. All right,

let me do it. So if somebody looks at your profile and might go, oh, comedy writing, I will recommend him as a comedy writer because I know he's a good comedy writer. Well, at the very bottom of all my skills, I put that I was a you know, I can be a line cook if I if I had to. Because it's interesting that I'm I have so

many skills right out of nowhere. This woman recommends me as a line cook, as if like to like stay in my circle, stay in my friendship, like like make it look good, like, hey, I recommended you for a line she was she heard that you were perfect at hooking steaks. Yeah yeah, So I immediately blocked her. It like like I couldn't be more annoying that now you're looking through my page and you're like, I'm gonna recommend him because I'm gonna get on his good side. Maybe

he'll buy a website for me. Fuck you Mildred, And that's not a made up name. Her real name is Mildred. I'm not friends that are linked anymore. So you can't like look to see who I fuck you Mildred. Yeah, fuck you, don't, don't scam. And then I get all

these people on LinkedIn. Uh coach career coach. Yeah. Well, what I've noticed from LinkedIn is there's a stock there's a stock template of whatever, and all it takes is for them to hit a button and just go right down the list of their contacts and hit it again and again and again and again, and everyone gets the same message. I don't think there was one ounce of a personalized message from this woman to begin with. I think she just just email blasted her entire yep contact

list on LinkedIn. That's exactly that's how they operate your profile. No, too many times people are pitching me on music and shit, I'm like, yeah, dude, look what I do for a living. I'm you know, I don't know all right anyway, So so f Mildred and the last Scamboni of the day, and then we got to get out of here is eBay. Now I love eBay. Shop on eBay is selling eBay. I used to love eBay, and I feel like eBay

is chock full of scamboni's. Like we've talked about several of the parties from people, This is a scamboni from eBay, and I tweeted at them and the bullshit response I got back from them. So let me tell you what the scamboni is. So when you when you sell something on the on eBay, right, you are you expect to give them, Oh, I don't know, thirteen to fifteen percent

of the total sale pretty much. And and I never really looked before because when I sell something, I know they take a percentage and I'm like, it is what it is. But because I'm selling stuff a year now, I have to figure out, hey, we're partners, right, how much I have to give Scary of the money I

just got right. So if I saw something for fifty dollars, eBay is going to take fifteen percent, which is like seven dollars and fifty cents, I thought, And then that leaves like, you know, forty two fifty, I take my cut. I sent Scary thirty seven dollars. Ye, So I start looking at the at the fees and they take they took thirteen and a half percent, not off of the thing I sold for scary for fifty two dollars, but the fifty two dollars plus the shipping, Oh boy, right

and the tax. Wait, that's that's disproportionate, right, So they took fifteen thirteen percent whatever off of sixty something dollars sixty eight dollars. Now when I when when you get shipping money? If you've never sold on eBay. That's so I could buy a label and ship the item to the person, and when this tax is involved, the buyer pays the taxes. I don't get that money. The buyer

pays the taxes. So the buyer paid sixty nine dollars, but I'm being charge the percentage of my profit on the item I sold, the shipping which I don't make any money off of, and the tax I don't. I have nothing to do with. Wow, that's a scamboni. So I tweeted, Hey, eBay, that's a scam. Here's what ask eBay wrote me back. Our goal is to create a simpler, more streamline fee structure. Before you had to pay a separate payments processing fee to a third party based on

the total amount of the sale including tax. Now the fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale inclusive of tax. So you made it easier by charging me more money. Oh by, We used to have to break it down and not charge you for them. Now we just take the money. We just gotta make it easier for everybody. It's not easier. You're charging me more money.

So I wrote back, that's a scamboni, that's a bullshit, and they were back, we appreciate your feedback on this, and we will be happy to pass along any concerns that you may have on fee structure and the way that it's processed. And then Tanya wrote her name, Tanya is not telling anybody. Tanya is eating that and going to bed. Of course, not gonna tell mister eBay Hey, mister Ebaydy is upset that you're scamming and you know we're still getting her paycheck at the end of the week.

They are scamming and taking a percentage off the shipping total. So I had to ship something heavy, right, the person paid twelve dollars to ship it. I printed the label. It costs like an eleven ninety six. But I paid thirteen percent of the twelve dollars for what and then I got thirteen So I look, I didn't take the law scare you did on this one. I'm just letting you know all your money went to eBay. They fucked you.

Thank you, all right, I'm mad for you. Good, Okay, I'm going to now turn my friend upside down because I'm still but hurt from earlier right, and uh, what you going to Lisbon? I'm going to Lisbon. I'm going to Paris. I'm gonna come back town ten pounds heavier.
