Hey you know.
Ah, yeah, Hellodia, Oh, Hellodiah Hello now Oh David Brody, Hellodia Hello. Now Wow, this is great or middle Yeah and yeah, I'm saying that with a lot of sarcasm in my voice. Well, we're recording this on a Friday, which is usually scary as going to the beach day.
It's Friday at two o'clock in the afternoon when it's eighty four degrees in sunny out because we couldn't find another time to record in this entire week.
Not my fault. I mean, you know, David Brody and all always busy, available, always busy man. You know what I I did go out last night watch I'll talk about later. I know you did a couple of experiences. Yep, you got a lot of You have more point appointments than a than a doctor. Yeah. And I will update you guys on my backyard light for those people who ask for an update, because there's now an update to the update the up, the update to the update. So this is great. Glad you saved it for.
This long Oh of course, by the way, to whoever put up the sign in my elevator that I just found as I was coming up coming home today for the lemonade stand. When it's the first annual Lemonade stand event, it's just a little be another one. Yeah, it's just the lemonade stand event. It's not first annual. We've covered this in this podcast before.
Right, because unless you've already got a contract sign for next year with a guarantee that it's gonna happen.
Yeah, but like no, there's the original, and then next year can be the second annual, the first annually. Kind yeah, but the first annually is commitment. The first annual is the first one. It is just the name of the event, you know what I mean.
It's like Jaws. You didn't see Jaws one. You didn't see Rocky one. There's no such movies. There's Rocky, there's Jaws, but there's no Rocky one at Jaws. There's no Fast and the Furious one. You can tell people you saw it, but.
Anyway, I'm complaining. I'm turning it to you because yeah, because it's a Friday afternoon. That's why you'd have a pool, then I would. Dude, can we just get this out of the way, because this has been bothering me. It's been hanging over my head like a cloud, and I'm just frustrated because sorry, I'm better looking than you. There apologize. The Warning show got the worst of me today, but they got the best of me, which made me feel worse.
But speaking of weather, I do the weather for Z one hundred in New York and I've been doing it for years. Okay, yep, and now.
Wait, wait, you have to tell people it's always Is it partly sunny not partly cloudy? What are the rules? Doesn't matter? And none of that case. It doesn't matter.
I say mix of sun and clouds because that's really how you experience the day.
But it aren't there ways to say the weather. That sounds better when you're saying the same thing. Yeah, pretty much partly sonny.
If they say partly cloudy, people think it's gonna be cloudy. They hear the word cloudy and partly cloudy say partial partly sunny. No, I gould be like some some sun, some sun mixed with clouds.
Now. Here's the thing, because that's what's going on.
Like I'm looking at this guy right now, this sun and with times of clouds, but when it rains, that's where the problem is with precipitation and percentages.
Okay, I'm gonna straight up with this. Okay, it's very simple.
But first of all, so Danielle was arguing with me about tomorrow. Oh it's gonna rain tomorrow night.
Oh, rain, rain, rain.
And and I'm like, but I say, it's mainly gonna be it's gonna be a sunny weekend. It's gonna be great overall, because that is the that is the truth.
It's gonna be beautiful to say it's gonna rain on Saturday.
No, it's not rain. See this, you're one of them. And here's why. Because it takes a lot for it to rain, and and and there's a lot of factors involved. So if it's his thirty percent chance, if it says thirty percent, that is not true, David Brody, it's default sunny sun and clouds. The precipitation is an event that many things need to happen.
It is unlikely. People say scattered showers, they're scattered this way.
We don't see them just yeah. But here's the problem. You tell people, you say the word shower, you say the rain. The obvious average person, here's that, and like it's gonna rain. They said rain, So let's cancel all our plans, let's forget about everything. So the truth of the matter is, for the greater part of tomorrow, it's gonna be a go it's gonna be a No, it's gonna be a gor You're becoming one of them.
No, I'm being a realist that people don't go out. You're gonna be slicker. You're going to be a slicker. What fucking year is this?
Get Let me get my grubber booth the fuck out of here with your yellow trench coat. Gordon Fisherman, motherfucker. Listen, stop, shut up, hold on, let me finish what I'm saying. Okay, because this is this has been irritating me all fucking day.
When you get rained on, blame scary because you didn't know.
For the greater part of tomorrow, it's gonna be beautiful, it's gonna be sunny. There is a chance of some thunderstorms in the area in some places.
See now that's where hold on, sat showers.
But the thing is you say that and then people get all like, oh, they take it at word that they have to cancel their entire plants for the day because it's gonna rain. Now, if it's thirty percent right right now, it says thirty per and the weather's always changing, I'll give you that all right right now, thirty percent chance of a passing thunderstorm. It doesn't what that really means. And I've put this all over my social media already. We talked about this two weeks ago. No, well, it
means it's going to rain. It's one hundred percent going to rain in the forecasted area, but in only thirty percent of that So it's going to rain one hundred percent chance of rain, but only in thirty.
Percent of the coverage area. So that means seventy percent of you are gonna see zero rain seventy percent.
So why would I be in along? Why would I be an alarmist? Why would I be an alarmist and say it's going to rain when most people aren't gonna get shit? And then they'd be like, oh, he said it was going to rain and it doesn't rain.
We agreed that it that there are two ways to interpret thirty percent chance. There is no there's only one, Brody. Look it up. You and I, You and I, You and I. It talked about this and people called left talkbacks, and you and I we looked it up online that there's two ways to interpret that, Yes, you have a thirty percent chance of getting rain, or that the area thirty percent of the area will get rain. That's either way.
Thirty percent scary is three out of ten people, right, that's how many people are probably gonna get rained on that.
You just like And you're talking about the thirty percent of the sky, of the coverage, thirty percent of the sky.
No offense, scary, But who's listening to the morning show? I got to hear the weather. Everyone has a phone. I know I know that. I know that.
Hey, Gongle, what's the weather? Hey listen, I'm not arguing that. I'm just telling you people were coming at me today.
Hold On, that's partly cloudy according to Google, but exactly Google. Google's a negative asshole. Hold On, hey, Google, what's the weather tomorrow? I can't I can't hear it. I can't hear it. Hold on, I can't hear it anyway, Brodie, stop talking I'm trying to tell you what it is. I'm not doing it again. Do it again? Well, stop yelling what's the weather in Manhattan, New York tomorrow? New York tomorrow? Hey, Google, what's the weather in Manhattan, New York tomorrow?
Held on.
Scattered thunderstorms with a high of eighty five. Okay, scattered. Say you say scattered thunderstorm, scattered thunderstorms, But that makes it sound like to the average person, they hear that and they be like.
Oh my god, it's gonna rain, It's gonna be When in all honesty, who reacts like that? If you're going to the beach, you and go to the beach in the morning, you're gonna wake up, you're gonna check the weather. Most people today and most people you're gonna scattered. When when when that's all that Google is telling you, scattered thunderstorms. This is exactly my point. If Google is saying scattered thunderstorms tomorrow, most people hear that and be like, it's
gonna fucking rain tomorrow. Most people hear that and interpret it that way.
What I'm telling you, Brody, is that tomorrow, for the greater part of tomorrow, the sun will be shining, and you'll see it and.
It'll feel it's gonna be eighty six degrees. It's gonna beautiful tomorrow. You may get in thirty percent of the area, a thirty percent.
Of the coverage map. We'll see a passing thunderstorm. Wooll the fucking do August twelfth, twenty twenty three. Look at the weather and see what it is or was over Manhattan and see if it rained. That's all. That's it. People can check now, we can check your work, and it may have rained in fucking.
Queens and a part of Long Island, and then the rest of New Jersey, Westchester, Rockland and the whole tri state area got nothing, got nothing. The sun was shining all day, all night, and then until until the clouds came into, until the moon came out, and then then you So what I'm saying.
Is, yeah, if you it rained on on August twelfth in the New York area, report to us Heiri Jones on all social media, let him have it.
There's a chance, but you'll be in the vast minoritying there's a chance you'll be in the vast minority, is what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying the ding is locked and you can tell the.
Ship if I have twelve seconds to do the forecast for the freaking weekend.
My my broadstroke approach.
Is that it's gonna be a beautiful weekend, sunny today, Tomorrow and Sunday, and a chance of a thunderstorm passing in some areas. That's it, okay, But you don't have to be an.
Alarmist and say it's gonna range scattered thunderstorms. You don't lead with that. The report you just did can be given any day by any newscaster with no research. Hey, tomorrow, it's gonna be sunny, possible rain, possibly not some clouds. That's every day. But if it rains, you say, oh, I said scattered showers, Look at rain. If it doesn't rain, you go, I said it was scattered. Said I'm already. I'm already exasperated. Win for you. I'm exhausted. Danielle say
she gave it to Danielle. She's like, yeah, it's gonna rain. To Myra, Yeah that it's gonna rain. It's gonna You didn't say it's gonna rain. And I'm like, because it really isn't, You're gonna get passing something in maybe over one fucking town out of the it'll be Danielle's town, and she'll be right. And you don't know which town that's gonna be, because again where she lives. So I know it.
There's again when it says twenty percent chance of rain. At one chance of rain, but only in only twenty percent of the area, that.
Is the chance you're gonna hit the commercial jingle now one hundred per one.
Hundred percent chance of a commercial coming up right now.
Scattered adds nothing about nothing about weather. Let me let me tell you, let me finish the story about my my backyard if you look in an order, which I know you do.
By the way, I apologize for the last eleven minutes. I had to get this off my chest. Yep, hmm, okay, because.
People were adding me.
People were adding me, No, I don't feel better now, Actually I really don't.
I don't feel better. You know what's scary. I'm sorry you're having a bad day. You've got a thirty percent chance of happiness tomorrow, which Scattered smiles. Okay.
I wish people would understand and just understand where I'm coming from, that's all.
Don't just fucking coming at where I left off in the backyard. Right, go ahead, I pick up the light. The guy, the contractor, guys, I told you about the garage dorms hit me and killed me, right, So the light didn't work. So the guy says to me, well, it was going to be fifteen dollars, but the light doesn't work, so you know, don't worry about paying us. I'm like, all right, well, I guess I got to replace the whole unit with a new LED light, you know, modern.
So I'm like, all right, well, I say fifteen bucks on the ball. I'll return the bulb to Amazon. That's twenty bucks, thirty five dollars. I'll go to home Deepot picks up now. So to go to home Depot and I spend like twenty minutes researching and figuring and guessing and looking up online. I find one. It's like one hundred and ten dollars. I go up to the register and they say, oh, you need the base mount. I said what base mount? I said, you need the base mount.
It doesn't come with it. I go, doesn't sit it on the box. Trust me, you need that, So go back and get that. That's like another twelve fifteen dollars whatever, And I said, you know what, I have a coupon I left at home. This is legit for ten percent off my next purchase. Can you honor that? So they says, yeah, all right, let me call the credit card company. Get your number. They call, get me tempersent off. I get the unit. Great, I got every even temps it off.
I got home and i'll get home around seven o'clock. It's medium dark out, partly cloudy, and the light is on in my backyard. The old light is on in my backyard, the one that didn't work. Change the bull didn't work. Now it's on. Now it's on. So I call the contractor. I go, hey, the bulb worked. He goes, I guess we couldn't see it in the daytime. So great. So the next day I return everything to home depot, get my money back. That night I go to swim.
The light doesn't go on. It's broken again. Fucking with you, bro. You call a contractor. I call my electrician, and electrician says, it's got to be the ballast, the thing that holds the bulb, and then whatever the power he is to just get rid of it. So I have to go back to home depot. Now I got to purchase the things again, but I don't have a discount, so I had to get somebody to prove, show them the old
receipt and get my discount on ado unit. Anyway, it costs me one hundred and forty dollars to get it installed. But here's the thing, the electrician says to me, text me. He says one hundred and seventy dollars plus tax. So I said, I give you one forty cash. He says, deal. Deal. They love the cash. They like it, love the cash. So I saved thirty bucks plus tax, which was like forty five dollars I saved. I got the light installed yesterday.
It works. Going swimming tonight. Congratulations, two nights for two nights. Scary. I swam in the pitch dark. Oh you poor baby. Guess what.
I swam in my bathtub because I don't have a pool. All right, aw aw sick invite there, Thanks, thank you, appreciate it.
Well, you know what, I was gonna fighte you over, but the forecast said scattered showers, so I didn't want to have to come over. Yeah, of course that's the time in the rain. Yeah, huh that's it. By the way, market have some Scamboni's for later in the show, So have the Scamboney jingle ready. Scamboni's jingle is already now, I said, I went out last night. Where'd you go? Well? I went to Applebee's with my cousin for dinner, and
then I went because it's right by the stadium. And then I went to see the Somerset Patriots in Somerset, New Jersey. But I was actually going to see them play the Binghamton Mets, the Binghamton and Rumble Ponies, but the Mets minor league team.
How them the Mighty have fallen here. I was thinking that your big headline was going to be that you went to see Metallica last weekend at MetLife Stadium.
That would have been nice, would have been great. No, No, I didn't want to go for two nights and while like some of our former interns were there and I was pissed, I mean happy for them, but I was thinking, oh damn it, my interns ago and I didn't go. I should have gone to see Metallica. You absolutely should have. You the biggest Metallica fan I know, yeah, but you don't know a lot of Metallica fans I am. I am a on a scale of one to ten. With as Metallica fans, I would say, I'm a six and
a half seven. Oh okay, okay. It's like twenty songs I love, and then there's a bunch of songs I don't care for. And I haven't really liked most of their last albums, but the first five albums. Oh, I'm all over it, So I like, I love Metallica, but I did. It's a lot of money, yeah, a lot of money. And they did this thing where they they played like their greatest hits. Yeah, but they only played they wouldn't play. They did a two night show, right, and any song they played on the first night, they
wouldn't play on the second night. Two complete different settling, which is really cool if you go both nights. But let's say your favorite song is Fade to Black or Master Puppets, and you go on Friday and they do both of those on Saturday, so you've got a fifty to fifty chance you might not see any of your favorite songs. But some of their songs they must have done on both nights, I mean, their big hits, like they didn't do Salmon on both nights? Come on, No,
that's what I'm saying, the biggest song. No, it's not, well maybe commercially. Commercially yes, yeah, so all right, but they they only did it one of the two nights, So if that was your favorite song, you had to hopefully guess correct. So I was thinking, maybe don't get tickets on Friday, and if they don't play my favorite song, go for Saturday. But at that point, if they played your favorite songs on Friday's share to luck. So I just I couldn't make a choice, so I decided not
to go. There's too much pressure, lot of pressure, all right, Billy Joel? All right, pressure or or queen under pressure? Okay, thanks having no ice rip in the moment. So you went to this baseball game yesterday? No, I got starting order. I went to Applebee's. Applebee's, what my cousin, because like, oh, it's an apple Bee's right by the stadium. I'm like fantastic, So go to the Applebee's. And I remembered that I had two frequent Flyer cards like punch cards, uh huh
in my wallet. One of them has five punches, but like with you know those like a whole puncher. Yeah, but it's a special.
Apple special one, yeah, because they don't want you to be punching your own holes because that would be you know, you.
Could cheat the system that way. And the other card has five Apple stamps, so at some point they must have changed the way they do it. Yeah. But I've had these cards for a long time and they say that or to ten meals get a free entre free. So I'm thinking, all right, I'm gonna get my free entree here. I'll get the most expensive thing that I wouldn't normally gotta get a rack of ribs or something. I get a free entre. Doesn't say there's a limit, and the cards don't have any rules on them. So
the waitress comes over, can help you out. Both order diet cokes mine no ice, of course. And I said, hey, I have these these two cards for freentre. I already smelled. I already smelled trouble. By the way, how old are these cards? It doesn't matter. They're still good. They're still good. I'm sure they are. But if they're old, guaranteed the employee that's been there working there six months, it's probably like,
what's this, No, no, no, no, she recognized, she recognized them. Okay, all right, so she she says, oh, you can't combine cards. They all have to be on the same card. I said, what they doesn't say that. Yeah, that's the rule. You can't combine cards. That's not a rule. That's what I'm my manager told me. Yeah, but it doesn't say that on the cards. Well, you were trying to use your tenth entrede five equals ten? About how many how many holes?
How many holes of potential hole paunches are on five Apple stamps?
No? No, how many are on each card? Though? How many are in total? Ten? Right? Ten on each card?
So you're you figured you were going to do five five from one card and then five from the.
Other, right, correct? Yeah, yeah, now you can't do that. Why not? Uh?
Because they're probably from different stores or different different times, different ears.
You're making it up. Nope, she never said that. She said, can't combine cards? Well, you can't, it's I said, But why why can't? It just seems insane. I can't combine. See something unsavory about that, brody. I feel like you're you're trying to pull a fast one on me in my business. No, I bought five meals at Applebee's. Then I went another time without my card. So I started a new card and I used that card, and then eventually I found the old card, so I have five
and five. She didn't say there is expired, so you can use either one, but you can't use both. So you can talk to the manager if you want. I said, I'm not doing that. I don't want to. Fine, I'll just order something and I won't get I won't get the free entree today anyway. I'll just get a normal you know whatever I was normally gonna get. I don't need to rack of ribs. Fuck it. Okay, fine, so we order morell I order morell sticks to the store
art with an extra sauce. She comes back and the Mozrelli sticks only has one sauce and my soda is empty. So I said, hey, I'm uh, she's just gonna get anything. I said, yeah, if I can get another sauce and a refull on my son and that'd be great. So she comes back and she brings the extra sauce. I said, hey, if you don't mind, I still need to refill on
the die coke noise. Oh right? At this point, scary, I should have realized her new nickname is one out of two sous, because every time I asked for two things, Showty brought one. So then my French dip sandwich with American cheese and waffle fries arrives. Somebody runs it too the table, they drop it off and they leave. Well, the French dip doesn't have American cheese on it, and
it's supposed to come to American cheese. I see the waitress, she's like five or six tables away, and she looks up and I waved her and she looks at me like I see you. I'm like, I need you when you get a chance. So she finishes up at the table, she goes towards the register, rings up their order and disappears. Disappears. So I asked the hostess. I said, hell, is this can you please if you find my waitress? There, no no rush? I have her come over. So she comes
over and she says, oh, I'm sorry. What's going to do for you? I said, well, I waved. You looked right at me, and she said, oh I wasn't I was. I guess I was daydreaming. Oh okay, as well, my French dip doesn't have cheese. If you could have, you know, put the American cheese on, that'd be great. And I need to refill on my soda. She says, okay, no problem, and she comes back with the French dip with the cheese on. It doesn't bring the soda. I said, hey,
if I get the refill and sod, that'd be great. Okay, good, So she goes again. Okay.
So so basically you're describing somebody with bad service here, I mean.
Just no, no, hold on. Then she says, are you all done? I said, yeah, if I could get a can go to go container for the sandwich and a little uh a cup of lid for the gravy to hold the gravy, that'd be great. Yeah. So she she's great, Okay, She comes back with the check and with my sandwich container. I said, do you have a container for the sauce? Again, one out of two sue she didn't bring the sauce container. So she says, all right, I'll be right back. I said, oh,
do me a favor. When you go to get the cup with the gravy, if I could get it to go bag to put the gravy and the sandwich in that'd be great, thank you so much. So she came back with the copper ye with no bag, with no bagag one out of two, sue she can't do both things. No, So I said, hey, you know what if I could just get it to go, I asked her, like, ID, Hey, you know what if I get it to go bag, that'd be great.
Oh?
Sure, no problem, Like I didn't ask her, right right?
Okay, all right, So here's the kicker.
Here's the best part of the story. I said, hey, you know what, since I didn't use my punch cards, right, if you could stamp my five card and give me six, I'll work towards filling up the card. She said, oh. She takes out a black magic marker and she puts an X in the six box. I said, what are you doing? X? I do what? Anyone could have done that with any marker. It's obvious. So I said, don't you have an Apple stamp and she says, no, we just put xes. I said, wait a minute, Oh my god.
You wouldn't let me combine my tickets, But now you're telling me that I can just draw four more x's on the card and I'll have ten. Just just oh, wait a minute, you're right. She takes a marker. Oh my gods, her she puts her initials on the top of the ex. What if he decided to go to an Applebee's in Wyoming, So all I have to do is put any initials over the X. She says, I guess yeah, that's what he told us to do. So
I'm like, okay, that's stupid. Who fucking Oh, I'm gonna put x's on the punch card and x'es on the apple stamp and I've got twenty. I've got twenty now Because apparently that's the rule. She just drew an X A fucking not even like a fancy X. What an apple? Just an X? So how about that?
That's the new frequent flyer policy? That is No, it's not. It can't be that. That is that is that Applebee's.
Policy. She initial did so, it's official official. It's not she's the general manager. She's just some waitress. She put two letters and said, I initial did so you're good now? Or is it the guy that did the Applebee's song? Maybe you could just put his initials because he's talking about Applebe's on a Friday night. Yeah, I want my baby bug. How about that guy that's Chili's, that's Chili's Applebee's. Get a car, just put some x's on it. They
won't know. That's bullshit. Say, oh, I was at the Applebe's in Bridgewater and they put x'es on my car every time I go there.
That's that is so unofficial, it's not even funny. I at this point think that she was flabbergasted with you and decided to just fuck with you.
No, no, she said, we don't have the apple stamp anymore, so we just put x's. That's what she said. Oh my god. So there you go. That's dumb.
But yeah, on the combining card thing, could it have been possible that you've been you could have scammed the system because if you have, if you had four on one and five on the other, right, who's to say, okay, then they would have given you would have extat let's say you get your your entre, your free entre on one to make it five and five.
Off the road getting off the road again.
No, so at that point she was to take was at that point, you can't use it this time of purchase.
Right, so that if you get the tenth, you can't like get an entre.
She gets you the tenth, right, but then you but then she could take she has to take both cards from you.
Yeah, five and five, she could have both cards. Okay.
I wanted to make sure, because who's to say that that wasn't part of another card that you haven't used yet. Because you're trying to scam me, you understand, that's why she You can't combine cards, because she might think that maybe they took one card from you, because you right this somewhere else.
No, there was this you're making up ship now you're trying dest way to be on her side. I'm not.
I was just it was just it didn't seem very savory when you presented it. Where you have to with combining cards like that, it's almost like you have a check up your sleeve.
But apparently this apple Bee, I ate five meals. I ate five meals. But it just seemed a little, a little little fishy to me.
But I will say, you know, according to this Applebee's all you have to.
Do is just put XS on it. Let's see you can indeed scam the system. And I'll put I'll put Schafer Scary Jones.
Scary Jones. It's Scary Jones approved. Because I said he's the manager at the other Applebee's. Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one. That that one, the.
Other one's podcast.
Man, I got to start eating at these chain, these fast casual restaurants. I mean, I don't know, I don't know what I'm missing half the time, you know, but you're missing content for the podcast. When she when she put the X on the thing and she walked away with the whole conversation. My cousin, My cousin, She says to me, podcasts, right, they go absolutely, she goes, it's all worth it. Then you just got content. I said, absolutely, absolutely podcast. Yeah she knows.
Oh, she's whenever we go to lunch or whatever. I'm like, that's a that's hey.
I don't mean to complain about modern music and hate complainers. What yeah, you, but do you feel that there's been a trend lately of this influx of teen teens singing ballads like very slow songs and then becoming wildly popular online and then all of a sudden that translates to the radio all of a sudden because we start playing them. I just feel like we have lately in the music cycle that well, you know, we play you know, top forty music right now. We we're playing a lot, a
lot of really slow songs. But they're slow with depressing lyrics, t you know, uh, and usually it's by a teen
male or teen female. And I'm trying to understand why so much of that is David, like David Kushner, right, but even like you know, I mean a more recent example, like Olivia Rodrigo, her latest song Vampire is also slow, and like Billie Eilish has a new song out again in typical Billie Eilish fashion, it's slow, and but there's there's also like these other songs that they just sound like they're just from another planet and they're becoming crazy popular.
I guess on TikTok and streams are I'm wondering, I'm teen, yeah, teen.
Angst and again I'm not making fun.
I'm just and I'm trying to like I'm an out of touch I'm an out of touch gen xer maybe, but I just feel like the music doesn't have like a lot of it doesn't have rhythm, and your gen x yes, nineteen seventy four.
Oh, look at you saying it out loud. I'm forty nine years old. People know that. You don't always say that, but people know it because it's understood. I don't know my age, you.
Know what I don't, So I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it, Like why is that the music cycle? If you look back at other ears of music, other you know, the aughts as you like to say, the two thousands or the twenty tens, or the music was melodic and it had a direction. It's like, yes, it was rock, it had guitars, or it had a melody and it was a dance beat, you know, with a nicer driving bass. I just feel like music doesn't have There's a lot of songs out there, and.
You know, I even I'm even gonna hate to say it, throw Taylor Swift into that category.
Don't you say about t Swizzle? Listen we went to see Taylor. I love Taylor, but you know and I and listen, she's crushing it. She's breaking all kinds of records.
But you know, she doesn't strain her She's breaking her slow is what you're saying. She doesn't she doesn't strain her voice. If you notice she's a talk. She's a talking singer where she sing talks where she's singing. She doesn't. She can, she's her voice is gonna go forever.
And and she could built out three hours a night, consecutive nights.
Because what songs are you talking about? All her songs, her entire library. She doesn't.
Her music is you know, is very like she She talks in her music, and she she sings, but she talks.
She doesn't hit.
She doesn't go for the go for the gusto with with high notes.
That's what you're talking about.
She's not she's not. She doesn't sing from the chest. She sings from her mouth.
She's a you know what.
I'm saying, Like she was a singer, No, but she's not a belter. She doesn't have no else does that.
Ed Sheeran and every other pop star right well, Dell and Celine Dion are the only ones you sing the way you have, like Barbara Streisand that's not true people like that anymore. But like pop singers don't sing with great hot with range and octaves like Mariah Carrey used to sing. That's not what pop stars are.
Any right, right, right, right, but okay, but but anyway that I'm digressing.
What I'm saying is I think it's post pandemic angst. I think Sloan now it's yeah, I think post pandemic. There were a lot of songs that were down and and and I think when anything works well, then people take it to the next extreme. So it went from like Olivia Rodrigo upbeat depressing songs or anger songs or ex boyfriend songs, and then they slowed it down and slowed it down, and they're like, oh, I can tolerate slower. Yeah, tolerates slower.
And then, by the way, I know, again, no shade on Olivia Rodrigo either.
I freaking love her. I think she's great. But it's like it's like cargo shorts man, they go out and they come back.
I just think seem to think that right now, we're in this we're in this era, this time of slow music, and it just doesn't match the weather.
Right so it's summer, it does if it's gonna rain and marrow.
We were trying to we were trying to figure out what is what is the song of summer right now? And the only thing anyone could point at is cruel summer by Taylor Swift, which is a song from her Lover album, which is three from twenty nineteen, which is four years old, and they that song is in like a hot rotation. People are listening to it like crazy now. It's obviously she's traveling the country with her tour and the song is called Cool Summer but you know, and
again it's kind of like a mid tempo song. I'm like, I don't, I don't think that that's the song.
Of summer, is it?
And and everything else that's out is like a ten year Anything that's popular that we're playing is like ten twelve years and just got kind of rehashed because it was on TikTok and now it's popular. Well, if I'm looking, I'm looking online at what are the like, Miguel, I'll give you the example, Miguel. Sure, thing right. That song is from twenty eleven. We didn't play it when it was new, but now we're playing it like crazy every hour and a half because TikTok made it famous.
Yeah, a lot of the lists are saying, Charlie XCX speed Drive, I don't know that song, Kylie Minogue Padam.
But.
Yeah, that's an electric idiom None of these are the sex Georgia Smith little Thing. All these songs are unfamiliar to the master. Rodrigo Vampire. That's not the song of summer. Sorry, okay, hold on, let me look at another. I'm looking at it, and I'm looking at different articles.
Let me find like a billboard hot one hundred everything.
We can't find one. There's no standout this summer. There really isn't. Dua lipa dance the Night, Dance, The night is from uh, the is from On hold On, hold on, wait, hold On Dance the Night is from Barbie.
So nice it could so that could be, But.
I don't see that emerging as like everybody's talking about it, everybody you understand, like I feel that there's something else there. I feel like I feel like we're missing something. But but maybe we're not.
We're in.
We're just in this this moment of these these ballads, like these slow songs coming out and and there's nothing that's to stand out. That's like last year, arguably the song of summer sun Roof, I got my head out the sun Roof. Yeah, that Nikki Yor it was a one hit wonder for now. I mean, he hasn't come up with anything following following that. But that was a feel good summertime song.
It was.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a song about summer or have the word summer in it, but it has to be a feel good song that everyone's like listening to. If you look at previous years, there are those clear standouts, and Sunroof was perfect for last year and it.
Just kind of defined like the time of Like it's summer Baby by Jonas Brothers. That's not on the charts, not a summer not not the song of summer. In fact, you know they're they're you know, they're touring and they have they had waffle House that's a slow song. But Summer Baby not not a hit right now or I mean, listen when you if you're experiencing this podcast three four months from now.
I could be wrong on some of this because some of some of the songs might have developed. But we're in the we're in the middle of August right now, and there's nothing.
There's nothing. I'm looking at esquire dot COM's list. Oh okay, let's hear this, Troy sevon Rush, I don't know. Nope, uh fly on a boss. You wish who yep mm hmm, Kai Tronada and Amine Forever do not tweet me on pronunciations I have I'm doing so I'm ruining it. And Raoul Lejandro Base okay, Esquire right way off. Yeah, I don't know. I don't listen to pop music. I couldn't tell you, all right. I'm just saying I've heard enough in my call from my kids that there's nothing that
up bey I want. I will say if you want something fun, Mazy Peters up and coming artist. Okay, Daisy Peters, we should have her on the show. All He's fantastic, all right, and she's she's playing radio city music tonight.
Oh okay, I'm open. Oh yes, right, I saw that on the Marquis Okay week I am, I am. I am a fan of all of it. I'm not very big on country music.
I'm sorry. I know there's a lot of country fans that are slices.
I'm warming up to some of the music, but yeah, I just I want some emerging song. That is, what's the one that you got the windows rolled down or the air conditioner way up because it's so fucking hot out there and you're just cranking while you're driving, what's that song?
And it should be something.
That's somewhat current, right, okay, all right, that's why I rest my case. It's more of a question I'm throwing out to the slices, all right, as you were.
All right, Brody, you know, so we we we've had this merch store now launched for how many years? Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. Thank you. Yeah, And the store is open and it's just sitting there. Now.
We have merch We we do have people that are buying some things here and there. But we were told by about our boy Matt, like, yo, what are we doing over here?
What do you want to do? We did not get the summer bump on the merchandise expecting no, but.
I wonder if they were looking for a summer discount. I mean, what do we should we call Matt live? I think we shouldn't put him on the spo.
No, we should not put Why not, come on, guy, what do we got to lose?
I think we should call it a day. No, man, I want to alone. I want to I want to I want to shake his tree and.
Be like yeah, that's that sounds like a personal thing. What could go wrong? Yeah, what could go wrong? Matt's not the radio kind of guy. Matt's Matt.
Matt doesn't need to be bothered. No, Matt would love to be on our podcast, Brod. No, Matt Merch, Matt Merch. You have to have nicknames all.
Your friends, and I do have. I do have a nickname for all my friends. Oh my god, Oh my god. By the way, who are you going out with this weekend? My god?
No, Robin and I were invited to a party down the Jersey Shore tomorrow and you're gonna You're gonna laugh, Brody.
It's in Seaside Heights.
I haven't been to Seaside Heights since I have Jersey Territory since I was since I was underage. That's where the original Jersey Shore was filmed Eastie with the duct phone and the Italian flag over the girl on the garage painting on there.
Uh. I don't know, man, I haven't been there in years and years and years.
And that's far for me to drive. So I was trying to think about maybe stay in the night somewhere.
Well, I have a hook up, not in Seaside I'm getting last minute. You're not getting last minute, bougie. And didn't get any boogie in Seaside. I know, well, I tried to be boogie and I failed.
So I was trying to do some research to see where I could possibly stay, and uh, here it's going to rain tomorrow. Fuck you, Brodie, It's gonna beautiful. All I could tell.
You is I hope it rains on you so badly.
I'm gonna say, is this everything is like a college dorm. These I just I feel I can feel the bed bugs crawling on my skin just by looking at pictures online of these places in Seaside. On no offense if you're a frequenter of Seaside Heights, but it's just I can't believe they have no other offerings.
And I listen.
If I have to pay, I pay. I just don't want to wake up with a skin rash or a disease. So, because because let's finish it, places like and again not trying to be offensive here, places like Seaside and like Wildwood.
Sorry did I say that? Childhood? Those are the places you'd go after high school prom. You'd bring the limo down or whatever. You take a rent vent of an uber. At this point, you go down and you would you would underage drink and just just go to these sleeves ball places that which, by the way, they're getting three four hundred dollars a night for for something that is should be thirty nine dollars. These rooms are people put
up with it, so they're expensive. If you're relatively new to the podcast, or even if you've listened, then you're like, these two guys are from the same neighborhood in Brooklyn. They sound a lot alike. The guy speaking about seaside is scary Jones. What are you trying to say at David Brody would be happy to go anywhere at this point, get away, you know.
Listen, you gotta listen, David Brody, b R D Y has a friggin pool.
I live in a park. Just say b R D W R O D. Why I live in an apartment? Okay? I live in an apartment. I Nope, you move to every other building in your neighborhood has a pool, but yours. I have a one bedroom apartment. Okay, but they say stack of papers is still behind you. Life is life is too short right in your to stay dining room, den combo. Life is too short to stay in in in bed, to sleep in a bad hotel.
And there's some kind of saying I forgot them Shakespeare Shakespeare.
Shakespeare said a hotel by any other name would still smell bad if it was cheap.
So he said, so these places my larger My larger point was these fleabag one star motels with ratty.
Ass probably bed bug mattresses are no joke.
Getting three four hundred dollars a night, which is highway robbery, robbery. I cannot believe how much money they're making off of a single night. And I wanted to go to I told you I wanted to go to Asbury Park to see my friend's band. Houston calls forget it, six seven hundred dollars a night for nothing, eight hundred and they don't give you. And I don't want to go to the beach. That's not why I'm coming here.
Discount.
And if you go out east to mon Talk, it's even worse. It's like six seven hundred dollars a night.
Are you talking about Long Island? For yes, for those the Hamptons, and you you do sharks, You do not get what you pay for some woman got bit by a shark and rockaway. I saw that that was sweet. Queen's fortunate. Well well so so anyway, I don't know.
I would just say, look, mans, don't stay in seaside. I may have to go to this party tomorrow and drive home and drive home.
I I may have to do it, But why don't you go to one of your boogie towns on the way home and stop because it's too late. They're all sold out. So for Scary Jones, the guy does weather on Z one hundred in New.
York, Okay, should I sleep on the beach?
Like, where are they gonna put me in a lounge chair by the pole? You know that, you know, the really nice places always have capacity the Michael Jordan shows up, you know, like if somebody shows up, who's like a big deal on capacity. They can't build rooms, so yeah, they keep something to the side. It's like concerts. Every concert sold out, but all of a sudden, oh we moved some chairs around. We have five hundred tickets. We
switched it speaker switch speak configuration. Right now there's more seats. Bullshit, or you know, like but if you know, if a celebrity calls up and I'm like, hey, whatever, you want to bring my kids to this big concert at the end of the year. Yeah, oh yeah, we got some yeah, figure it out. Yeah so yeah.
So I don't know what I'm gonna do, but you know, paying four hundred dollars to stay in a rat infested motel no, thank you, uh and and and and shame on them for charging anyone that amount of.
Money that But people are paying it. That's all that matters. Are they paying it. If they're paying it, they can charge it. That's how life works. Yeah, all right, that sounds like a scamboni, which sounds like it's time for you to hit the jam. I think it is, Brody. Is it Scamboni time? It's Scamboni time? Scamboni? Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's happening?
Okay, let me start off with something that anyone whose owns a house most likely has seen, something like this. Do you ever get these brochures or these coupons in the mail are like get your driveway redone and they're like two hundred dollars off the job with this coupon. Yes, I got a thing for for windows and it says, you know, install four windows we'll take an extra one hundred and fifty dollars off the entire project. Yes, isn't that nice? Yeah, it's a great I get my driveway redone.
They will take five hundred dollars off of the price. That's Great's the problem? Sounds like a plan. There is no price for a driveway, right. They base it on your house. They base it on your specific house. Like if you go to a store, you go to McDonald's and they give you a dollar off. You know, you're getting a dollar off a big Mac. You know what a big Mac costs. But if you're getting one hundred and fifty dollars off of tree trimming, you don't know
how much the tree trimming is going to cost. So you don't know if you're getting one hundred and fifty off, they're gonna go, you know what the tree trimming would have been, seven hundred dollars. Let's judge them fifty and they give them one hundred and fifty dollars off.
Yeah, because there's no set there's no set menu, there's no set price, there's no standard, there's nothing to measure it against.
Five hundred off your driveway. They're making up a number anyway, they're looking at your driver going yeah, it's forty by twenty and by six two three hundred, but we'll give you three hundred dollars off. You got the coupon. That's a scambone. It's a scambony. So you have to like not tell me you have the coupon. You have to go, ay, what's the price on that? Right? And I go, oh,
tod two thousand, Aha, I've got a coupon. They'll go, you know what, they say, my friend tried this, and they say they go, yeah, well, we were gonna honor the coupon anyway, that's why it's two thousand. They will not take off the price. They'll not They'll be like, oh, yeah, well we knew we we just assumed everyone as the coupon.
And if they do go below after that, they were already factoring in their head that you were looking for a discount.
Right, you're not kidding. And if you have those companies sends those coupons out. Even if you're honest, nobody believes you. Nobody. Yeah, here's my next my next scambone. Ohone number two, there are there. I gotta get get the jingle back Scamboni. I just love that there is a is a big thing on TikTok. You know when you go through TikTok lives and you scroll and you're like, oh, this one's live. This one's doing politics, this one's doing the weather, people
playing video games, whatever, they're doing it live right. Yeah, this is a new thing I found, and I've seen multiple women. It's always women doing this. Await a second, can you see that? By the way, are you about to Yeah? What is that? Yeah? Huh, I see that. Okay. There are these wooden toys for kids. They're like magic eight balls, and I don't I don't know if I mentioned this before. If I did, I apologize. And they've got a little pendulum that swings and you you the
woman clicks it on the air on TikTok. She flicks it and it spins or it wobbles or you know, it goes back and forth and then eventually stops. And so I found three different ones. Where's the third one?
Here it is? So this one says, these are the options you decide no, probably, ask a friend, yes or unlikely Again, like a magic eight ball, this one says never always yes, no, maybe, Okay, yeah, and this one, this one all this says never, sometimes, possibly, no, maybe, and yes, okay, okay, And if you're a kid at home, you can flick them and go, oh, should I do my homework?
Now?
We'll wait till after dinner. Flick it. Oh, it said yes, I should I should wait? Right, it's a it's a kids game. Yeah, Well on TikTok people are doing TikTok lives with these stupid little kids toys, and people are asking legitimate questions does my boyfriend love me? And she goes, okay, this is for Claire twenty seven, and she flicks it and it says, you decide, Claire, you have to decide if your boyfriend loves you. Thank you? Okay, Mike, what's
your quote? Mike has a question. Mike wants to know if he's gonna get a raise, and they flip it and it says probably, Mike, You're probably gonna get a raise. This is about as accurate as Scary Jones's weather reports. People are asking life altering questions of a random woman who claims to be something flicking a kid's toy? Yeah, should I break up? Where my husband? Is my husband cheating on me? And she flicks and he says, yes, yeah, oh my god, I thought so. People is taking this seriously.
This is a scamboni. They're not making it. And people are sending gifts. You know, you can send gifts you paid for and then the person gets money. You're sending gifts to people, fake fortune. Tell I've seen it. I've seen it.
Have you seen the the NPCs? NPC's the non player character phenomenon that's going on.
But that people walk around like they're not NPC. That's not who is how you're talking about NPC?
Well, np see stands for a non playable character, So it's it's hold on a second. For people that don't know, we got it. I gotta reset the whole thing. People don't know what that is. It's characters in a video game that you can't control. They just doing things. So
people are becoming human NPCs on TikTok Live. And what they'll do is they'll just sit there and they'll repeat the same phrase over and over again like an NPC character, or they'll do like they'll just repeat emotion over and over and over and over like a robot, and they'll collect tips and they'll do it or they'll do a sultry.
Voice like, yeah, daddy, give it to me good, and.
Then just sit there like that and they wait for another tip, and then they'll yeah, daddy, give it to me good. And they'll just sit there and they say it over and over, Yeah Daddy, give it to me good. And that's all they do. They don't break character, they don't. They just stare at the camera and they do the same motion over and over. And so they're making getting money hand over fist. Did we were gonna talk about
this on this podcast? Then we should we should do We should be an NPCE NPC, you and me and we can just sit there and work for tips. This is better than only fans, Brody, But you have to come up with a gimmick. Now there is one guy, Oh my god, what are the names of these people who are the npiece Scammon Shyster, scam and Shyster. That's my favorite book company, Scamming Simon and Sster. Non playable
character stars, non playable character TikTok TikTok stars. Uh So this one woman, Uh, there's a whole article about this. This is a real fascinating world. This one girl gets seven thousand dollars a day she makes, according to the Guardian, and her name is.
A tank top. What you wear people throw money at? Ah? She eats ice cream? Oh no, no, no, she just yes.
Ice cream so good. Ooh, you got me feeling like a cowgirl. M ice cream so good. It's how you eat ice cream? Ice cream so good, so good, so good? So what was her name? They're not telling me?
Her name is here? But anyway, people would people pay to watch us eat chicken palm? So what do you mean? But yeah, I see that's the thing.
Maybe you we have to find out what it is people would pay for if we stare at a camera for three This girl does this for hours a day. She makes seven thousand dollars. People sending gifts, sending yeah money, and and and they wait. She waits for the next person to tip her, and then she does it again. Pinky Doll her name is Pinky Doll, Google, Pinky Doll, Pink Paky or Piggy Pinky p.
I n K why. She's from Montreal.
She's a cont she's a content creator and her her ice cream So good clips went.
Viral this last week or this was several weeks ago. Now there's other people out there.
There's one guy sits in a Mexican sombrero in his bathtub and he splashes water over and over again or whatever.
Pinky doll, NPC, dude, here it is. Hold on, ladder, she's not even great at it. You don't have to be. That's the point. Oh my god, all over videos. She just sits there and hold on other languages she does.
So.
There's another person named Cherry Crush, right. She wears a wig. Crush She she has elf ears and wears a wig and barks and makes noam noam noises.
You type in Cherry, she comes up. Hold on Cherry crush, right, what is she doing? I can't hear, Brody, The listeners can't hear this. Whatever. Yeah, she just sits there in bounces.
Yes, you know how much she's making money? Hand over fist, Brody, she's making crazy money.
Hold on?
How many?
How many reviews of this you have? Hold on? Let me look at her account? Oh forget it, don't even do. It's going to make you sick when you say, it's gonna make you nauseous. She has three hundred and fifty thousand followers. Yeah, that's a lot. There's somebody who does one thing. Oh, there's a there's a lot of fakers. There's a lot of people with any names trying to capitalize. What is it that we can do? Is it? Is it a repetitive phrase over and over again? Is it emotion?
Is it something we maybe we're spinning a dradle like and and and I don't know, like people are you know, eating on.
Came fourteen thousand views? Yeah, man, eight hundred nine hundred at one point okay, one point one million views? What is she doing here? You tell me she's lip syncing, right, and she's eating food that people pop up on the screen, or she's doing it, she's just biting. So food is popping up on the screen, right, you know images of like emojis, Yes, and she's chomping on them like she's eating them, pretending. Uh. And she's lip sinking to a cute clip. And she has elf ears on Yeah. One
point one million views? Yeah, a ray a green wig? A million views? Yeah, one point four million? What she doing? Hold on? Here we go, hold on, hold on. It's over and over again. These are NPCs if you want to follow the Nope, she's just lip syncing with her big eyes open like a like a doll, and she's very well endowed in a like a tank top. Yeah, uh huh, that's it. That's all she's doing.
And they don't and they don't have any and they don't have any life to them. They don't. They not human, meaning like they don't.
They don't.
They don't talk to the camera like conversationally. They're not like you know how Brodie and I are going back on this podcast having dialogue.
They don't do anything.
I'm talking, but they literally we are wasting our time to it talking to.
Each other like this.
Apparently that's what TikTokers want. They want you to stare at the screen and do the same repeated motion or say the same phrase or perform the same action over and over and over and over again.
And that's it. So we have to find our niche.
We have to find how we can become the next NPC stars and and and what would people pay to watch us do or say or eat, you know, or act out?
Is it? Maybe I just do Like on Command Rants, they're like, oh, complain about something, and they put up on a screen and I just start complaining about whatever. They pop up.
It's too human though, it's too I mean you can if you want to riff off of that, but I think that that's too This is going to be NPC for met the.
Non playable character where it's the.
Same, the same motion over and over again, because that's a thing fascinating Brody, Brody, I'm telling you, there's dozens of articles on this if you google. There's so much money to be made here. People are making coiners one article four thousand dollars an hour by being in People make that in a day.
And if you're.
Listening, I just may have given you an idea for a job. If you're looking for a new line of work, just put it. Put a fucking camera on yourself, go live on TikTok, and just collect tips for popping a balloon, for over pop popping balloons over and over again. Just sit there and wait for people to tip you so you could.
What if what if we like smash Italian pastries? Maybe Canali smashed? Canali smashed? Then you go? I wrote in one thousand dollars you can you laugh your ass off, but Brody Canos?
Maybe maybe I squeeze wait, I say here, squeezing my own tits, you know, like, well you.
Could ask your own till you can't. Ah, I can't do that.
But if I just squeeze my breasts every thirty seconds and I just sit there stare at the camera, I'm just squeezing my boobs, we.
Have to say something like mommy likes milkmmy likes milky. Like right, that's how they do it for you.
I know you guys are finding this absurd right now, but this is really what's going on on TikTok that you can't.
You can't society. It's not gonna be a global warman, and it tells us it's this ship. It really end of society. But you it's fascinating in your own time. Guys, ladies, uh whatever you want to be known as nine non binary Google NPC characters and and and what they're up to and how much they're making and the acts they're performing over and over and maybe you'll come up with a niche thing for yourself to make some money. You're welcome. We got take a break. We do. We have to
take a break. Yeah, we do, Glynn Boys Podcast.
We will be right back.
It's great. Before we go any further, I just have I have a question for Yeah. And by the way, I lost track of time there. I don't know where we were the break. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a simple question. Yeah, because I was buying a piece of furniture from my daughter's dorm room. You need like a TV stand, and I came upon a cart TV cart and on Amazon and the color is g R E I G E grays. Have you ever heard of that color? Scary? It sounds like a cross between gray and beige. So yep.
Yeah, and I've never heard No. To answer your question, first, no, never heard of it. But now that you mentioned it, my brain just put two and two together and said, that's what it is.
Apparently it's a thing. Apparently if you look at it, you're like, is it beige or is it gray? It's neither. Is it wet or is it dry? You know what, I'm gonna send it to you and you tell me what color you think this is. I'm a texted to you right now.
Mmmmm, scary Joel, Okay, this isn't that. This isn't that dress conversation?
Right? No, And it's not the guy with the black guy with the big dick that he used to send everybody that picture that went around. Is this dress gold and black? Or is it blue and red? It was blue and gold, blue and gold whatever. Yeah, that's that's grays. Yeah. Uh I could see that it in between color. I like that. Yeah. So it's like purple is red and blue instead instead of calling it like blood.
Yeah, they came out with purple. I've always just a combo of the Yeah. I've always wanted my floors to look like that. I wanted gray grage.
Yeah, I like it. Yeah, what color is? It's great? Are we talking loud making up colors? I guess I don't know that's the color. Yeah. Well, we have some talk backs. We gotta get to Brodie all right, I'm gonna get that out my system. All right, if you've listened before we play the talkbacks, yep, I will tell you about the baseball game I went to on next week's episode. Sounds like a plan. I like that. Now to die and his seats, that's all I'll say. The guy in his seats and the kid who turned on
his best friend. Yep. I love that.
Little teasers like tickling me with an audio feather. Uh if maybe that's what we'll do on TikTok. I'll just tickle you with an audio feather next week on the podcast.
Ha ha.
That's it, you know, dude. You know we can be clever enough to go viral. We have to think of what it is that we need to do.
I'm just saying.
I mean that that old comedian Gallagher from the seventies to just smash watermelons on stage. He was like the original NPC guy, smashing watermelons over and over again.
I don't know id A great was was Gallagher? And when he didn't want to do the job, he had his brother do it. Yeah he did he are you you be Gallagher? He just subbed in for him. He was his twin right, No, he had a brother. So his brother just did it and smash. That's all you needed. You needed the license to do it. He would give you permission, like there were all the people that filled in for him that it does it really matter who's swinging the hammer at that point? Would you be upset?
Scary if you want to see Gallagher and his brother Gallagher was there. I mean he's still smashing watermelons and splashing the audience right, correct, He's still getting a poncho well, I don't know if i'd be Yeah, I don't know.
You're paying for the enterta gray got gray shair. So if you if you listen on the IHET radio app, you can hear us. You can plick the microphone and then talk back to us. So this is from episode two sixty four. Broadley Brody could have been killed. That's what this one is. Oh okay, that's what this specific talkback is. That's it's listed that that's the one that think that's what they were listening to when they said this this pearl, Hey.
Brillian, scary long time slice. I just want to call in about the time I thought I was being robbed. I saw I was working from home, and I saw my door handle to the front door jiggling up and down, and I kept going at her banging on the door. So I went and woke up my boyfriend and said, like, somebody's trying to get in. What's going on? And we opened up the door and there was a squirrel that was jumping up and down on the handle.
Okay, could have been a lot worse. Yeah, story, I resisted, saying that's nuts, Hio. She didn't call the cops, though, but that would have been pretty frightening. That would have been very frightening, So she left out apart. Did the boyfriend open the door? Was he brave enough to like swing open the door and see who it was? I don't know, will never know. They'd peeked through a side window. I need to know, all right.
Next one, Hey Brody and Scary Jamie from Queen's Here, I have a funny robbery story. My dad had a college professor who had a bunch of snakes that just roamed freely around his house, including a defanged rattlesnake. And one night a guy broke into the house. As he's in the kitchen rummaging through stuff, he sees the rattlesnake on the kitchen sink and a bunch of snakes on the floor around him, and he dropped what he had and booked it out of the house.
I love that.
A story of hope. Yeah, get a pet rattlesnake that's defanged.
Hey Rodine, Scary Jamie from Queen's Again, as we're talking about people wreaking of the smell of pot. Well, back in two thousand and eight, I worked in the costume shop and the sky came straight to work after hot boxing for five hours, no shower, no change of clothes, not even a spray of vax body spray, and I had to work a six hour shift in the top floor of that store where there was no window and no air circulation with that guy.
Was awful.
Yeah, I remember working the Palm Show Club back in the day. They used to trap me in the walk in refrigerator and they used to smoke up and they used to hot box met in the cold box.
It's kind of weird. We were in the refrigerator and I was just like.
Like they were picking on the nerd. What do you mean they locked you in the Oh? They would, they would, they would. I would go into the walking refrigerator. They would all take hits, blow the smoke into the refrigerator and then and then close the door on me and leave me locked in the door in there in the refrigerator as they were all but but I would be there with the contact high.
But he really wasn't a hot box it was it was it pot Pete marijuana Manny who was it was?
It was Matt, But I forgot We didn't have a name for robt.
Marijuana might as well be hot boxall.
Sorry, guys, I'm back at Erica from Florida again. I just wanted to say, also, as Scary would say, it's a squirrel, but also, my gas door won't even open in my car if the engine is not off, so I physically cannot get gas unless my cars.
Oh beautiful, all right, thank you smart car. Hey Scary, you are wrong. If you say that you're a fan of a team, you stick with that team through the thicken thing. You support them. You can bet at the organization, yeah, the owners, the players, the coaches or whatever, it doesn't matter. But you stick with that team because you say you're a fan, you're a true fan. You do not abandon them and just come back whenever they're doing good. That's being a bandwagoner. That's being a puss. Do that be
a puss. I'm not abandoning them.
I'm supporting them, but I'm not paying good money to go watch them lose because they have no shot.
I haven't heard them. Deny, he's a puss. Oh my gosh, Brodie, what a crazy story. Uh well, the suspense was killing me. Glad you weren't killed a big fan. All right, thank you, thank you, that's the nice thing to say.
I'm glad you all this is based off of Brodie's story where he was is almost killed.
They listen to order it was almost killed last week.
This question calling from Miami and on the last podcast we were talking about possibly bringing the meet up to Miami. And I've got the best place for Brodydel's Coconut Grove.
All right, speculated, that's right, and it's a beautiful one. Sidel's the place where that serves dill on everything that you were there last week with your girlfriend. You put pictures up there and everything.
Oh it was so good. What about we?
Sidel's is such a classic place to have brunch, all the Jewish delicacies.
But yes, there's a beautiful one in Coconut Grove. I like coconut growth. Oh my god. Well you'll love the Cdel's that's there too. A hold the dill about here. Thinking about episode two sixty three for the meetup, I think you should call it a slice of time with the Brooklyn Boys.
That's all I gotta say.
You guys do great.
Thank you. We'll take that other advisement. Hyper.
This is Mary from Marleton. I want to talk about the near death experience that Brodie had. So my husband and I had a near death experience because of our Amazon device, which we call Legra so it doesn't get triggered. So Legard played all this background noise and we had no idea what it was coming from. And she has this thing called a burglar deterrent, and all these sounds were playing, scaring us a death, and we almost called nine when one Bobie didn't slice for life.
All right, So she was almost killed by her home talking device from Amazon. Yeah, wow, all right, it happens to the best of us.
Brody and scary. What the fuck's scary? You're gonna have the fucking meet up in fucking Florida. You're a Brooklyn boy, not a Florida man. Jesus fucking Christ, Maddie from Brooklyn slaves brons.
See now, the people listening in Florida right now would disagree. I'm trying to be I'm trying to be diplomatic. I love Florida. I'm also trying to go on vacation, you idiots. Come on, don't you see what I'm trying to do here. I'm trying to get this out of town for a weekend.
I'm with you, but like if we didn't have it in Florida, people in Florida were like, oh, that's unfortunate. The people from Brooklyn are like, you fucking have you, motherfuckers? I love you.
It sounds like that's New York. Everyone shots fired. We've been warned. I guess, I guess we're gonna have to have it in Do you too think you are going to Florida? I guess we're gonna have to stay here. Brody, I don't know, well, we do both.
So this is Maddie again, the lady who said that scary Bob Brody at dinner. Ma'am. We've resolved this issue ages ago when Sebastian Maniscalco said no, he didn't.
The boys are going to go by it, scary. That's a contract, Nope, contract.
Listened to the original episode. Listened to the original episodes. Sebastian didn't have the whole story, Calco said it, that's it. Then, all do with Sebastian. You know how many people come up to me all the time and be like, dude, you don't know that guy at steak dinner.
A lot many people come up to me all the time, you know what the girl and Applebee's she said, I will give you an X and this way, he's scary, can buy you a dinner. That's what you said.
This is Marylyn and Omaha. There are five Saturday nights in July and five Saturday nights in August this year. Nope, what calendar are you looking at? Seriously?
Really?
Usually you know I'm scary and brody, brody and scary, but scary. You done lost your fucking mind. Look at the calendar, seriously.
Okay, I'm looking right now. There are for there are four Saturday nights. There are four Saturday nights in August, August fifth, August fifth, August twelfth, August nineteenth, and August twenty sixth.
Where's the fifth one in August?
There are four in August's five in July. However, there's only four I said weekends. By the way, so there's only four Friday nights in July. No, there's four Friday nights in July.
Okay, hold on, listen, hold on thirtieth, I said, listen to me, hold on a.
Friday, hold on, hold on July. The four Fridays in July are the seventh to fourteenth, and twenty first, and the twenty eighth, and the four and then August fourth, eleventh, eighteenth, and twenty fifth. That's four Fridays, four Fridays in July, four in August, fourth Saturdays in August. Okay, July first Saturday. That was a fifth Saturday. But the point is, normally you have Friday, Saturday, Sunday in both months, five of them.
Five Fridays, five Saturdays. That's not a normal. It's but in the summer. Okay, let's go back. It's different. Every year. The days of the week move. I know they do. I'm saying in this calendar year twenty twenty three, with then, hold on, hold on, hold on you because weekend, the first weekend in July is June third, big deal. And then you get the first and second, and then the seventh, fourteenth to there's five weekends in July. If you add
the thirtieth. What I'm saying, you're not listening to what I'm saying.
The whole point was why the hell is it seem like such a short summer? And I said, because it's a cruel summer. It is a cruel summer. It is a very cool.
Slum and people being cruel to me. Now, you know what, because there's not a fifth weekend in August. Look, go back to go back to twenty twenty.
For instance, twenty twenty, there are five Fridays and Saturdays in July and and four four. No, it's split ninety, it's split up again.
It's split.
My point is you're losing a week there's between July and August.
And the main summer months.
You're losing a couple of weekends because all those quality days, all those quality days are falling during the week, is what I'm saying. In the calendar. The calendar is a little fucked up this year, it really is any more fucked up.
Last year was four weeks, four weekends in August, just like it was, and there were five weekends in July. It's because this month's with thirty one days. You're not gonna get August, July and August matching up to what you want. I'll go back to twenty one. She was still wrong. There was only four saturdays at all course podcasts. There were five weekends one two, three, four, five weekends in July one two, three, four in August. Again, Then,
how else do we explain the phenomenon. That noomena. This is phenomena, dude, dude, that there's no there's no phenomenon. It's it's a shorter summer somehow. Yes, because there's no song of the summer. Therefore it seems like nose's going by too quickly. No, because no, because Okay, when was Memorial Day this year?
It was a twenty It was a twenty ninth? Right, No, it was it twenty Yeah, twenty ninth. World Days of twenty ninth. That's very late. And when is Labor Day?
September fourth? That's early. Sometimes Memorial Day falls on like like May twenty fourth and Labor Day September seventh or sixth, whatever. You get more days, I'm telling you you're getting more days some summers than others. If you work out the dates from Memorial Day to Labor Day, some years it's short there you get less days than others. And I think this is one of the shorter ones. I'm just saying, Nah, pay scary.
Regarding posting people's houses, I think that it's fine as long as you're not posting like super personal.
Details thank you. Usually.
However, if it's tea, I mean, like you know, he has his audience.
People know him. People from who listen.
To all this know him, and I don't know. I mean, like, I can understand if he doesn't want people to know his house. Looks like maybe he's overreacting.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with he is because I only showed his backyard. I didn't show his address. I didn't show the front of the house. It's it's his pool area. He was more concerned. He's like, I don't want people to show that I can afford to fix up my back area and have a pergola back here.
I was, wait a minute, what is that? Da what he built? He built a pergola. I don't know what a pergola is exactly. It's bougie.
Scary and Brodie is truck or Sam here. I was just wanting to comment on episode two sixty four where you were talking about how your key would start another car. I am a truck driver, and I drive an international truck, and my key starts over seventy percent of the.
Other international trucks that I come in contact with.
Shit, I can start the truck and unlock the truck.
I love you guys. That's scary. Hey, I have a question. I have a question, not doubting his numbers at all, how many trucks has he walked up to and tried to help him and stop them?
I know, well, seventy percent. That means there's a thirty percent chance. Oh wait, we go back to the weather. The weather's go back to the weather.
If they caught usn't open, it's gonna rain, all right? You still you still structure. It's like a gazebo, but it's square. It's just it's a gazee gun roof thing. It's fancy. It's fancy. Pain. I don't I don't have one of those. That's why he was I got to the bottom of it. That's why he was pissed. You're showing your showing, but my manicured uh well done. Rocks and pebbals and bushes and pergola. Yeah, he was very very I don't have fancy Tyler on the pool. I
don't see. Sorry, you don't want to come.
To money Brooklyn boys, James Miami Hey started off quick. Maryland negative, Maryland is wrang Karlson this steak dinner. He got him the rais. He told him he was gonna get it. The other guy decided to pay for it.
It's not the same thing.
Gotta dish out that cash that he got him, what fifteen twenty years ago.
I never thought two hundred and sixty five episodes in we'd still be arguing about the steak dinner. That's because you still haven bought me one. James, I'm back. I got cut off. Good, that's good that you got cut off. He always gets cut off.
James, your back, I got cut off. You owe him that steak dinner. You get that steak dinner, then you get that invitation of the pool. Nope, I'm waiting for the podcast live from the pool side. You know, with your billion dollar equipment that you got to make it happen.
Make it happen, Maryland. Maryland is wrong. I'm just kidding.
I love the talk back, baby talk back. This talkback is talk is disagreeing with the other talkback. But yeah, let's be very clear about this. Brody never said that if I bought him a steak dinner that I would be able to go in his pool. He never said that.
Well, the thing is, you owe me the steak dinner. I don't owe you the pool. Now you got me a second steak dinner. No, but you were about to set up.
You were about to propose it, make make the pot sweeter by saying, you know what's scary.
Maybe we'll revisit that pool situation. You never said it. I'll tell you what steak dinner and Italian food in that place in Brooklyn you went to that I want to go to and then what then the pool in January? In January, well you better holl rate, take me to dinner. Let's go. No, wheny When could I go in your pool in the middle of August. I keep my pool up until October first, so you got time. Nah, those are short days. And then you get to build a pergola. Now cooler, quicker the podcast.
I heard this at the pisode that you guys are talking about filling the car up with gas with the car running or the car off. That it doesn't make a difference. As a auto and diesel mechanic, the car has to be off. If you open up that gas cap and the car sees pressure, and like the guy said earlier, it checks pressure and runs diagnostics. It's gonna throw a check engine light.
But he's a diesel mechanic. That means he's built huge, he's diesel. Diesel, not likely, he paused. He goes, I'm a diesel mechanic. And when you get put gas in your car, he paused, but that's diesel. But that's diesel for you, he said, I'm as he both, he said both.
What is a diesel fuel? All fuel? Okay, play it again. No, no, okay, you're saying a diesel mechanic and he's a professional and those cars unlike the guy at the guess station, Oh yeah, it doesn't scary, and Brody Brody is scary listening to.
Episode right now, went back to listen the old one's you guys had just started working from home recently, Brody was super disgusted. That's scary. Was clipping his toenails at home? Yet recently Brody admitted he was buttolding his chair while recording a podcast and somehow that's okay, don't get it anyways, love the podcast, Thanks.
Guys, Okay, here's the thank you for remembering. I love how this guy is one hundred and thirty episodes behind. And he may not hear this talk back anytime soon. No, he said. He went back and listened. He's caught up. When I said, I buttoled the chair. He Scary couldn't see that. He didn't know I was doing that. I saw him clipping his toenails. That's different. He had his foot up, dude, Scary's feet are not the idea, is there?
The idea that you're like, like literally like a fucking stamp, like I didn't tell you, like you're stamping your furniture with your assholen.
Who sits like that? My cheeks are closed. Nobody sits open like that? I mean some people might. I don't last one.
Hey, guys, I'm from us in our state. Still not have a slob fan. I'm not a store, but County County make those boss in our county her many many years now actually before the places.
Huh. You know what she is she's doing right there? What she's an NPC non playable character of TikTok. That's that's the character. Did you notice that even though she's not I'm sure she didn't curse twice it sounded like she said fuck. I know she didn't, so listen. Whoever that was called back with that same message.
Now the air is out of my tires. That's that's a sad way to end the podcast. Pretty sad. I mean that was the last one.
That's one of the play play the guy who said you were wrong again? No fuck you? Well, let me let me check my so maybe I got a quickie. I can I get tossed in here before we know, all right? So I hate you. I'm coming to your pool when you're not home.
Yeah.
