Speaker 1

I mean, it's ridiculous that Omaha Steaks can still afford to offer this this deal that they have in place for us. How have they not pulled this thirt deal? Yeah? From the table, I thought, you know, I pictured it like a little carrot that they're gonna dangle and then and then whip out of out of sight, out of reach by our steaks. They're delicious. We're gonna make the price go back up. Yeah, no, can we set this email saying go ahead and do it again because the

price is still in effect. That's eight percent off of this entire summer grilling package with Omaha Steaks. We love these guys. They're at Omaha Steaks dot com. If you go to the Brooklyn If you go to Omaha Steaks dot com and then you type in Brooklyn, the dropdown will appear with Brooklyn Boys podcast. Click on that and you're gonna see what's in this giant package. Who filet mi nawns. Who beefy top sirloins, Four juicy boneless pork chops.

We got four all beef Omaha Steak burgers in there for traditional Kibosa sausages is four bowless chicken breasts also don't forget about their award for award winning gourmet Jumbo Frank's and Omaha Steaks seasoning packet and four made from scratch Carmel apple tartlets.

dot com. Type Brooklyn in the search bar, and uh add that grill Ready collection to your cart. It's still summertime, it's still grilling. It's perfect. And not only that, brody um. My father gave me some feedback and said, Dude, I don't know why Tony's telling me he goes the file minions because I gave my father the flames forget about it. Because I can't find this kind of freshness in the grocery store. I'm going online and I'm getting it fresh

steaks the best at Omaha Steaks. You're giving me that look, I'm giving you the look because I have the reverse. So when we got our shipment a couple weeks ago, we made everything like the first week and in the second weekend whatever we had leftover, we made right. And so this weekend my wife grilled again, but we were out of Omaha Steak and Omaha Burgers, so she got him at the supermarket. She needed some burgers real quick this weekend. And so my daughter says, what's ang with

these burgers? And my wife said, what do you mean? She goes, these aren't like last week's. What's wrong with them? So my wife says, look, excuse me. The look like, oh yeah, because they're not the Omaha Steak burgers. So now I gotta stock up again for this weekend. So my picky daughter, who clearly noticed the difference, doesn't get upset exactly. And by the way, we have all these people tweeting us their screenshots of their order. They keep

that coming. Yeah, they can They cannot believe this deal. We can't believe it. We we talked about it off the year all the time, how they can afford to do it.

Behind the scenes, he was like, dude, we got do this again sometime. I mean, really really cool. It wants to come back. I like that. I wonder how his show went at the Grammercy Theater last week.

I got an email from Brian Bryant Jones uh to the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com. Just started listening to the podcast a couple of weeks ago and have been binging hard.

Why are there people out there that are criticizing us? Well, we got some feedback from a fan as long as it's not nasty. No no, no, no, I appreciate constructive criticism. Is this is this is their opinion. That's from Sammy Sam eighth. She posted this on iTunes back in June.

She wrote brody and scary. She spelled your name wrong. But that's okay. Um oh, that's all right. But if she spelled your name wrong, you have to correct her. Absolutely. She spelled your name with one e two rs instead of two ease one arm. People do that all the time. That would be scary. First of oh she meant, I guess she meant. First of First of uh, yeah, First off, let me tell you both that I love you, just

having trouble for first off, I read it wrong. Each week is filled with laughs and it makes my job a little easier to get through. With that said, every episode we get promised more and more and you keep failing to deliver. How is that possible? Episode forty, we were told that you would be doing two episodes that week and it never happened. Sometimes we don't have studio time and our goal is to do too, but we don't say we're gonna do two knowing we're not going

to do to. Our goal is to do too, and sometimes we can't get the studio. We're going to get two on in a week. Each episode, Brody uh keeps promising more and more rants. He never does that not true. Now if I promise the rant, like I might say, oh, I have a rant coming up of a and then we do an hour and a half podcast that's still what we believe is entertaining and we don't get to the rant. I do it the next week. Listen. We appreciate Sammy sam that she wants to hear it. That's

a good sign. I keep listening because he build suspense by talking about them and then saying I will save that until next episode. So I too, came next episode to be I'm gonna be tuning in only for that. Like, I feel like I really want to give you stars because you are worth it. But until you do as you say, I'm sorry. I'll have to keep it at three stars. Three we are not a three even at that with those complaints. Those gripes were not a three

star podcast. It's at least four. Well. The good news is Sammy Sam likesis, so you know, how do you even rate? This is why I have a problem with reviews on Yelp and all these services, and you know Google, Google ratings. It sucks to me that that there's no there's no barometer. What's the real barometers. I'm gonna jump ahead to my unused jokes from the show because it

falls in line what you were talking about. The show was talking Elvis Stray Morning Show was talking about Amazon reviews and you know how realistic they are, how legit they are. And I said, well, I looked up on Yelp and Yelp gives Amazon reviews four stars. That's a joke within a joke, right, But but do you see where I'm coming from, Brody. I mean, it's like all those Yelp reviews where they the service was off, so they go from five stars to one star. But you

didn't talk about the food, like the food was great. Stars. Don't let us know stars, I'm talking about Yelp reviews. Seventy seven is the first time around, No, I know. But what I'm saying is this is why you can't really lend credence to the star to the stars, because then all of a sudden you have a collection of that the average, and something might be average that three point seven when you have like four point eight stars

because all those assholes took all the points off. Sammy, Sam is not not what the words you just you

know I'm not talking about. I'm talking now. I'm going back to, wellcome back to like product reviews and consumer reviews on food for like, right with restaurants, it resonates with me because I know when a restaurant's quality when it's being written up by several critics, when several places by several forms something the food, the food an amazing review, and all of a sudden you go to Yelp and it's like a point and a half lower. Because well,

I just don't appreciate when people give one star. They'll say I ordered delivering it, it was late one star. Right, That's where that's what I'm talking About's not if you ordered from there four times it was late four times, you want to give him one star review. I get it. But if you like, oh, I went in and the hostess was rude, that doesn't have The thing is that

doesn't speak to the quality of the food. Now, if I went to the manager the manager was rude about the hostess, then I will go all right, But you want to you want to be able to go in the experience. You want to be able to know about the food. I want to know am I eating good? Or am I gonna be in the fucking crap. Here's what I would say, Like, I want to know, I want to know the quality. Here's what Yelp should do, Like the gat does. Yelp should have a service rating

and a food rating. Right, Like, if I get Chinese take out, I want to see four stars on the food, two stars on delivery. There's a lot of times I'm going to pick it up. I don't care the delivery, thank you. That's what I'm saying. So I went to a place recently and I had to read all the reviews and it was like it was like three stars, two and a half stars. I'm like, Chinese takeout, if it gets two and half stars, that means the food

is pretty bad. So I look at all the reviews, great food, best food, great food, yeah, solid, low maine whatever, And I look at all the bad reviews. It's all deliveries exactly. So go pick up the food and you're gonna eat the great food. But the thing is but just glossing, like just like just kind of non strokes, broad strokes over these over these menu you know, over these restaurants, you're not really like you're not You're not getting them the full effect you. I want to know

the quality, the quality. So for Sammy Sam, right, Sammy Sam, Yes, this is this great me right back. I'm gonna do a really good rant on Chinese food delivery later in the podcast, just for Sammy, said Sammy, Sam, coming up, huge Chinese food. Chinese food delivery coming up for you, Sammy, Sam.

You just reminded me terrible experience this week. But please don't take points away, major points and give it one star if the food is awesome at a place because someone like me, or just gloss over it then and be like, ah, I guess the food sucks here. But the food is great, but your service sucked. That's it I have to say about that. Now here's what I

didn't get this. This is a four star review, four to five stars for what from Jacalob which I'm assuming they're a fan from the old show says totally honest and real greatest podcast I must listen. Have been a fan from episode zero? Now does that sound like a four out of five star review? That sounds like a five out of five to minute. Okay, fall? So what the fall? So what what is that? Say? Let's let's

analyze it. Let's let's read throw totally honest and real. Okay, that we brought ourselves in that greatest podcast, the greatest podcast. Wait now I must listen exclamation point. Have been a fan from episode zero perfect? Where is the room for improvement? The Greatest Podcast? And what do they go? What do they continue to say? That's it? Maybe maybe their finger was fat and they hit the wrong button. They kind of like kind of nudged the wrong button. That's whoops.

And there there there their thumb went to the left instead of the right. I don't know what's going on there. Something the other four star reviews, Yeah, there's a lot of Yeah, I would have kiss our own ass. No, there's other reviews that are really good. Let's see I think I no, no, not reading that one. Uh yeah, let me see. These are some good ones. And where where is this on iTunes? iTunes? Uh? Five stars from Sweet Symphony. You don't have to read the good ones.

We don't need to stroke ourselves. I just want know where we have to get better? Well, how about I can't even read this person's name. It's like me and a lot of numbers. I've listened to them all parentheses in order. And episode forty six with Michael report is best, Okay, it is best? That must be like, uh the first Ladies campaign be best, It's best best, best is best. You can't argue with that. But that person game is five stars? Didn't write is best? Three stars? Yeah, jack alive?

What the f? Yeah? That happened to me on eBay by the way, you know, somebody said this guy was the best awesome quick service pro to deal with, and then they give me one star for what it was a mistake. Oh ebaya, great ship, you know, fast chipper, everything, the whole thing, great communication, one star I got totally lowered my rating. I got it. Well that that that's on the service as long as they give you a

positive people when you look at the positive feedback. Yeah, anyway, f m um, so I shipped my pants the other day. Which reason was this? Which one? Well, I didn't ship my pants. This is the email you got. I explain this email again? Should we just should just go right? I'm gonna read the email as it came into this picture.

Just minding your own business at nine o'clock in the morning at the radio station, and all of a sudden, this random email comes in and in the subject line of the email is one of my passwords that I used to use, and I've used it at the time for I've changed it since. Yes, my password is in the subject line of the email, so you know that this is going to get my attention. And the person writes,

let's get straight to the point. I do know that blank is your password, they repeated, More to the point, I know your secret, and I have proof of it. You don't know me personally, and no and no one employed me to look into you. It's just your hard luck that I discovered your blunder. Well, I placed a malware on the adult videos and sex sites and all the websites that you have fun too, if you know

what I mean. While you were watching video clips. Your browser started out functioning as a remote desktop with a key logger, which provided me accessibility to your display and webcam. After that, my software obtained every one of your contacts from your social networks as well as mailbox. Now then they go on to say that they've created a situation where one part displays the video I was watching. The second part displays my webcam, and then they go on

brody to bribe me. They say there are two choices here. You could ignore this letter or simply pay me three thousand, two hundred dollars an automount, right, which is also yeah it's in a weird amount. Yeah. Option want ignore this.

Let me tell you what is going to happen. If you choose this path, I will definitely send your video that they made and all of the contents of my webcam, which apparently they broke into and offline conversations, and I will send it to your entire contact list, including close relatives, coworkers, and many others. It will not save you from the humiliation that you will feel when friends uncover your dirty

videos from me. The second option is to pay me three thousand, two uh, and then they go on to give me instructions that I want to leave it into bitcoin, yes, and first off, specific or real bitcoin wallet or whatever they use. First off, I know you can't reply to them, right, but if you could, please let them know I don't want to see the video, don't don't send it to

this co worker. And then they give me this ultimatum, and they say that I have two days to make the payment, and if they don't have the payment in forty eight hours, that they are going to go ahead and put me on blast. Now, you came in the next day to work. You came to my desk and you said, look at this. You made me read it, and you were shaking. You are well, you obviously was thinking about it. So the right because the thing is,

you know, I don't know. The thing that gets me is they say that they had control of my webcam, which has also control of my microphone. I was more concerned with the access to the microphone and conversations. Listen, I do business and not not do my business. I don't not Greg t right take ships on the floor. I do business. I talk um openly, you know, to several companies and people you know about whatever. Mathew co workers, and I sit in front of that computer in my

living room and I edit phone taps. I do another podcast with my friend Cheryl plug for speaking volume. Okay, so let me let me back for a second, and we see each other on the webcam and we we talk offline about what we talk. Do you ever do any of that naked. No, you don't sit your own house. I mean, I've been there in my T shirt before. That's not naked. Okay. So so the first thing I said to you was the crux of this email is that they have you on your webcam watching porn and

and diddling yourself. Well, that's what I was afraid of. But I didn't do that. No, no, So I said have you done that? And your eyes rolled to the back of your head like and you looked up like you were thinking about it. Yeah you did. You were like, I don't think so, but that wasn't then, So no, no, And then once you said no, I've definitively I don't do that, I said, well, then it's bullshit. And then

I said that's why I wasn't scared. I'm like, they're gonna get a dime out of me because there's nothing. But what I was really what I was really afraid of, though, Brodie, was the the thought of, like, what did I say on that that was you know, on that camera? Because no, because the green light is on and and once if they have access to the microphone, then they have they have access to pretty much me in my apartment being

me and that's the kind of ship that bothered. But then I listen, dude, if you're asking if I've ever jacked off on my camera, I've never done that. I don't. I could definitely tell you just put that into people's minds. I'm sorry, but I've never done it. Okay, I've never done I said, that's never been me in my life. But then, but your but your your computer is in

your living room, right. The thing that got me slow, that made me slow my speech and be like, wait a second, is did I go to any adult sites? You know? Have I checked out? Because you know, for the show for research whatever research, or people know we would research in case Elvis decides to talk about straight porn. You accepted it out. No, but there are times where you know, people say click this link, or you know, my buddies will send me a filthy video like you

with a meme or something crazy. You know that, all that stuff that says. But then s f W. That surprised me. So I said, your webcam is in your bedroom and you said, no, it's in my living room, living room. So I said, maybe, I said, have you ever had sex in front of the camera, like in the living room? And you swore to me, swore to me, you have never had sex in the living room of your apartment. I have not. How is that possible? Because my couch is like cost too much money. That's expensive, dude.

Come on now, dude, if your girlfriend was all hot and heavy all over you on the couch, you'd be like, uh, let's go to the cheap bed because this couch is too nice, because I have a tempera pedic mattress in there. It's more. It's just as expensive. Not a sponsor. Not a sponsor. If you mentioned what you bought that bed from. Not, I'm not gonna do it. Not. I don't want to hit a jingle. Not in the mood to do the jingle. Okay, but you won't have sex on your couch because it's expensive.

It's leather, you can wipe everything all. I'm not. It's disgusting. I don't know. I've never been. I'm a traditional guy. I'm very missionary. That's it. I'm a very traditionary traditional tradition. That's a missionary position. Traditional people. I'm traditionary hashteg tradition. No, so you you're not your doggy style. But the thing is I just I don't get busy in my living so I could I could none of it. I have a fucking balcony and I've never used it to its fullest.

Six way a minute. When you go to a hotel though, no really, I'm traditional, Yeah, but your girlfriend seems everything else is non tradition. Everything else is filthy, Your shower's filthy. The story then on the floor of the rugs and stuff and no whatever, But that's not the point. Well, yes, it's the point to bow. I don't know. Why don't anyone want to swing with you from two weeks ago?

Imagine you were swinging with those people were like, let's do it in the hot tub, and you're like, yeah, let's go to the bed missionary, but your wife listen, let's can we get back on track? Yeah, yeah, back on track. So the point of my story was, um, I didn't I knew that I had nothing dead, nothing on me except for maybe we'll wait a second, what if they have access to all the files in my computer?

And who knows what's in my computer? And again again going back to your stuff having sex, not video of me, but but any anything that I might have like downloaded accidentally the guy sent you and the guys serious would have sent you. But that's normal. We all we all got stuff that's not safe for work. You never sent me anything. I'll put you on my list so I know way to find adult content. Thank you. We got groups.

My friends and I have a group chat going on, and sometimes they send like memes and stuff that is completely like not not savory at as necessarily nu to who sends the porn anymore? Because what if it was some so what if it was some some off color something that somebody sent me and then and then that's excusable. No it's not. But the point is this. I just felt betrayed. I felt like I was violated. Then what

you went you went to and violated for that? Went I of the I T guys, and he's telling me like, look scary, you know this password and you know this could be a breach of anything. They could have your you know your Apple I and all this stuff, and it was. It was brutal. So I started changing my password and name and everywhere everywhere I went, right did? I changed everything? Brody and Elvis. I even told Elvis and he goes, dude, you gotta call the FBI. Yeah, so, UM.

I later that day, and by the way, this is now a public service to everybody listening to this podcast. Um, not just two long winded stories. So I could hear myself speak. UM. I spoke to the FBI, UM, and the woman on the other line after I started reading her the email of the letter, she started quoting the letter and reading ahead for me. They had gotten the exact same as if to say, we've get thousands of these every day. Can I tell you if I might

add something. Anytime you get a virus pop up on your computer, like send money to the Russians for ten dollars and it's in Russian, I've gotten that, um. Or if you get any kind of like pop up virus that says send money or your thing, all you have to do is take the words and google them. And I later found if you would have just taken that email and popped it in and googled those words, you

would have seen typical scam blah blah blah. Right, So the FBI person said, look, um, this is what's going on. You know some suckers somewhere send that present money. Well, that's what the FBI told me. They said that that this bitcoin wallet or whatever is up to four hundred eighty five thousand dollars, and the scam was only noticed

and uncovered. It's only been known for like two or three weeks, So in three weeks it's gotten a lot of traction, and it's gotten a lot of people really flustered, so much so that they are they believe it, because I gotta tell you, as I'm standing here, I don't I don't fucking fall for the bullshit. Oh there's up there. You know you won money in this this lottery or hey, here's a free cruise click here, or or some some some prints from Dubai wants to give me his wealth.

I don't fall for any of that ship. But this fucking email looked legit. If there's four five thou dollars in that account, how many people? So the FBI people said, look, um, it's a problem. But you realize not only the stupid they have jerking off in front of their work, that I thought the same thing, because you know, it's not like one of those scams where the old lady gives up her all her money that she saved, and she right,

because in order for you to pay this money. You have to know for a fact you're whacking at to pour in front of your webcam. That's why God created duct tape. You put duct tape over your webcam, or so I've read. I gotta say shout out to Sam, Sam Coppolino producers. Sam. Yeah, I told her this. Sorry, her jaw dropped. She went out and she've seen that video. By the way. She bought these little um these little webcam uh slots. They're actually um, they're windows uh and

they affixed to your webcam. They come in packs of six. They're cheap, and they affix to your computer and not a sponsor. Not a sponsor they should be though, And they affix to your computer. And then you could slide the window open and close and it's neat and it's not it's not duct tape, which is messy and sticky. This this is an actual permanent fixture on your webcam. So you could slide the window closing. You don't want the webcam, so if you need to cover up your webcam,

it's already messy and sticky. But I will say this now, so so all these people are falling for it. So if you are one of these people that have gotten this email. It's a scam that's less than number one. Number two with your freehand. Don't reply to it, and you're the number two. You definitely want take the words of the email and google it. Put it in Google Search, and you'll see several articles come up with that this

guy got your password doesn't mean he has porn. He makes it very technical sounding so that you're like, oh, he's got keystrokes and malware, and he does all. I'll give you some key strokes. And then finally, and then finally, we found out that this particular scam that's going around is specifically from the LinkedIn password dump of two thousand sixteen, which means, by the way, the password dump. I saw that movie as well. Was it great? All the hyo?

But yes, so yeah. So if you are a linked In person and you were asked to change your password recently, like I was, and that's another reason I don't use LinkedIn, I'm linked out, You're done. Don't hit me off. I'm not gonna no. I don't want your professional contacts. You have people that ask you for LinkedIn to join your link I think I pitched about this in an earlier episode listen in order, you know. All right, well there you go. But yes, LinkedIn, So if you're a linked

in person, I can't help you. You don't link with me, There's nothing I can do for you. So they took those millions of passwords on LinkedIn and they put them on a public website, and then people started getting all the names and passwords. So that's how this happened. Yeah, that's it. I'm good. All right there pretty distraction. Okay. I got pneumonia. I was wheezing a coffin last week. The week before I had a test x ray. Yes, that is it called is it walking pneumonia? And boogie

woogie flute. I'm not going there. Well that's the song. It's an old song. No I have I have something. I haven't waiting for my doctor to call me. I told him to call me after twelve noon today, which is soon, and I said, give me an update because the x ray was yesterday at like five o'clock. So they said, your doctor will have the results. Okay, So if you do have it, I gotta take a certain medicine that gets the water at the lungs and then I got I gotta take probiotics. Because I took so

many antibiotics for no reason. Right now, I feel like, now is it contagious? You know, you seem very concerned scary, which reminds me. I don't know if I mentioned this another podcast, but I mentioned again. You came to my desk last week. I was that that was real. And I was at my desk last week. I was even worse than this week, and I was hacking up a lung. And you want my desk is the first desk when you walk into the morning show offices. I got the window,

and I'm closest to the door. I got the hot spot. You walked in, and you looked at me and you went, Brodie okay? And I was coughing. I stopped coughing and turned my head to look. You had already turned around and walking away down the hallway. You didn't even wait for my answer. That's such compassion. How did I say it? You said, broody? Are you okay? And then you walked out. You don't want an answer. That was the equivalent of going, hey, how are you doing? You don't really care how I'm doing.

It's like a greeting. You wanted the credit for asking me how I was doing, but you don't really care how I was doing? Well. I wanted to know a lot, But Brodie, how are you doing? Meaning like, all right, you're still alive, you're heartbeat, you're good, Okay, I'm out. I never answered you. What were you gonna start telling me your alments? Right then? And there? You said, am I okay? You said are you okay? Yeah? You didn't say hey, Brodie. It sucks because you didn't say I'm

sorry you're not feeling good? You said are you okay? That requires an answer. My response at that point was and then you were going, so what am I supposed to do? Okay? What if? Okay, let's let's walk. Do you are a phony Hollywood type? That's bullshit that you didn't really care. That's not true. If somebody came to you, like down the hall, were like, did you see Brodie's coughing? Haws? You doing? You're like, I don't know, Well, you would

allowed say he's fine, but you're walking. Do you remember asking me I do? And do you remember what you were thinking as you walked away? That that there was? Yes, you weren't thinking about me at all. You are like poor guy, You're like oh, I I got credit about but there's a list of things to do when you walking around here. I got so much going on on my plate. There's a lot going on. And then so really, did you were a part of my checklist? Would you

rather me not ask how you're feeling? Okay? So I got up and I followed you. Once I stopped coughing, I followed you, and you over by the interns just stand around talking. You aren't doing anything you had to do. You aren't going to a meeting. You're like, oh, I gotta get to do. You're just you're shooting the breeze. You're probably asking them questions you didn't if you okay, if I asked you again already, how are you doing? What are you gonna say? And then what are you

gonna give? You give me a listen, I'm gonna feel like you genuinely cared. How would you respond? It's like when you when Gregg Team was having uh an allergic reaction to eating an apple and he was choking and he needed an EPI pen and you left him. You're like, oh, he's probably faking it, and you left him. You walked away. The boy who Cried Wolf okay, crying wolf, his face exploded, if it doubled in size, his throat was closing up.

That's something, boy, cried wolf. That's the boy I gotta tell you, Brodie, Greg dealing with Greg Tea is a different animal. And then people, it's about you though it's you. Don't You don't genuinely care when you ask people how they're doing. But I really do know you're about you. And if it, if it fits into dude, if it fits into your world, you're all about it. But if it doesn't fit into your world, like you never say

to me, hey, how are your kids doing? Oh? You don't leave it for college because you don't because you don't talk to them, because you don't talk to them. What your daughters leaving for college in two weeks? Is she really? How? Where's she moving to college? Where she? Whatever? College she's going? Okay, okay, you know how? How is she? Colloguy? I don't know. I just don't. You don't talk about your family life. You don't offer it, so I don't

offer it. I don't you have to ask. I can't walk if I walk intowe, Hey, scary, how's it going? Let me tell you about my daughter in gymnastics today. No, yes, what asked me? Because I asked you how you girlfriend's doing? I just get you see you going away for the weekend. I got are you taking your girlfriend? But that's you wanting to live vicariously through me. Now, I don't want to have a girlfriend. I have no interest. I'm just curious about your life. I'm showing interest in you. But

I do show interest in you. No, you don't because you don't want a wife and kids. So you have no interest in my wife and kids. Wow, but that all goes back to a brody Okay, out the door. How are you? How are you feeling, Bertie? If I told you what college my daughter went to, I'd be like, oh, she goes. Oh that's great. Anyway, what I mean, how do I how else do I bond with you? Well? We bitch about shit, I know what. We we have a bond on another level. I'll tell you how we bond.

We had a guest on the show two weeks ago, and he's a guest. Right, we have guests in the studio and you want to be nice to them. You definitely don't want to make fun of them. Right, But sometimes when I when someone has a name that's clearly funny. Privately you want to joke about it. We had a very talented singer up here, no disrespect, I'm not bad mouthing him, very talented. I was very impressed with how good he was. But his name is Jack and his last name is Hess jack Hass, jack Hess. But if

you say it fast, it's jackack ass. But we all, we all knew that because we looked at each other. His name is Jacks, Like if you're drunk in a boy like, by the way, what are you going to set concert? Jackass? And by the way, don't you think that he gets that all the time? Doesn't you think he's aware of that. Here's the thing. If your last name is Hess, right, and you're not part of the Hess family that has Truck family, they own the Jets

for many years. If your last name is Hess, your father and mother can pretty much name you almost anything except Jack. Michael has Robert has, Stephen has Jacks. That's the one can't do, the only one you can't do, right. I mean, look, if you could think of a worse name to put in fund of Hess, then let us know tweet us. So that leaves me to believe it did it on purpose? Do you think they named their kid Jackass on purpose? I mean it would have to be.

My mom used to be a school teacher. When when before I was born and I was a little kid, and she had a kid in her class. The parents last name was Schwartz, no joke, not a joke, and they named their kid Bermuda on purpose, on purpose. They named their daughter in her class, the kid's name was Bermuda Schwartz. You'll never live that down. You're gonna get made fun of class. She had another kid in her class. I swear to god, it's not It's not a joke.

This was so My mom taught in the late late fifties, sixties, early sixties. So in the fifties, the first Godzilla movie came out right it was actually a Japanese movie, and they read dubbed, didn't English, and it had Raymond Burr films some scenes in English. To make it look like it was our film. I mean, as cheesy as you can get. They took Japanese footage over dubbed it and then stuck in Raymond Burr, the actor, and had him

film scenes and changed the entire plot of the movie. Anyway, the story goes that the mother of this kid was pregnant, right, she's gonna go into labor, but the husband desperately wanted to see Godzilla. They took they took her, the pregnant wife going into labor to go see Godzilla. She named the kid Godzilla. The kid's name was Godzilla. Britt I gotta I would imagine at this point god They're probably

like seventy sixties. I gotta look him up online. But these are Sometimes you deliberately name your kids something to be spiteful. But who does that serve? That's self serving? And it's at the time I mean to me that that is Oh my goodness, you're right. No, but you're you're not even wife. What are you, sir? You did it again? You're right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I know you're right. But here's my question about Jack Hess. If

the kid's name was Jacob, he chose Jack. If his name is John because, as you know, Jack, for some strange reason, is a nickname for John, like John F. Kennedy, people call him Jack. If his name is John Hess and he's choosing to be Jackass, something's wrong. Now that means he didn't think of it. How do you not think of it? I went to Jackass. You see him on the street, Jackass. If you see jack right, you're walking down the street, you see him. He's a famous guy.

He's got a couple of hit singles. You love his videos. You're a big fan Jackass. Someone's gonna come punch you if he doesn't Jackass. Like if his last name was Off, if you're last chaos off, you can't name your kid jack cannot be jack Off, right, because then you get a guy saying he saw you doing it and he wants two from you. And by the way, um, but check out jack Hass. He's a great singer. We just did a nice plug for jack Hass. Not a sponsor. Wait a minute, you want to you want to plug

jack Hess. I went to school high school with a Perry Winkle, No I did. I don't know the last name was Winkle, that there was the Winkle family. Yes, and uh the kid. That's funny after the first time you hear it, Perry Winkle Berry Winkle's a color. His brother was ripped fan. I mean, you know what, I wouldn't put it past them, but that's what people are doing. Now they're doing now it went to school a while ago, No, but now even more. I mean, look at Kim Kardashian West.

What what one kid's name is North? So it's Northwest. That was done on purpose? Well, that was done on purpose? Yes, okay. Can I tell another another celebrity story, Yes, that we got we moved on from JACKSS. So we had a big star in the building, big and we've had them on our show, but they weren't on our show this time. They were at another radio station down the hall, big star. And we know this big star us. He travels with a lot of people, a lot of posse, a lot

of handlers, a lot of makeup people carrying people. You know, this person needs a lot of people. Not a problem, A problem with that very talented person. So I'm leaving to go home, and this person is leaving through the freight elevator outside our studios where they take the garbage and the and the freight, which goes to a back entrance. So if you don't want to be seen, you don't

get down to regular elevators. But her people went that, oh, har, I said, har Her people went down the regular elevators with me, right, and I was already on I got on the elevator, and then they joined on the elevator, so they didn't know that I got onto this floor. They kind of ran in the elevator last second, and they're talking about her. Did did you see a smile? Did you smile? Did you have a good time? You think she had a good interview? Do you think she

liked the interview? I think I started a smile. I think she enjoyed it. Yeah, she seemed okay. Did she seem okay to you? I think she's okay. Oh god, I hope she was okay? Yeah, sind okay. Do you think that we did it was okay? Then asked any questions she didn't like? Right? No, No, she was fine. I think she was fine. Are you sure she was fine? Are you sure she was fine? Yeah? I think she was fine. Are you sure she was fine? I'm pretty sure she was fine. You're pretty sure she was fine.

Did she smile? You saw a smile? Right? She was happy. They were so worried that this person had a good experience. Now, part of me was saying, now you can give me your opinion. Part of me was saying, these people are just really good at making that they're concerned. They're concerned about that person, and part of me was thinking, this person has them so nervous, that they're so nervous that this person was happy that it all went smoothly, that

they're like on pins and needles. What do you think? I think that these people were hired specifically for this job. This was in their job description, and their sole focused in their job is to make sure that this person is happy. So if she's not happy, they didn't do their job. That was mission not accomplished. So I believe that sometimes people are employed and I know it's hard

for us to fathom at our level and happy. No, but people listening to us, I mean nobody has we don't have handlers, and we don't and nor does anybody listening. Do you imagine it's hard to imagine. We did this podcast right, Let's say last week with Michael Report, and afterwards, people are people like, do they think they enjoyed the getting with my report? Do you think they had a good time my report? I think it's okay, she's gotten.

There's so many people and I know this person we're talking about, I'm not I don't want to give it away, But no, I'm not. Please don't ask. I'm not gonna don't. So many people in that person's world that and this person is so rich and so uh you know, they got money to throw around for everything, and they probably have people that were that are hired just to do this job. The task at hand is this make the star happy at all times. Now, the reason I told

this you don't have that right. The reason I told the story is so you can see that what goes behind the scenes with celebrities, not so you can tweet me and go, if I guess it, will you tell me. I'm not gonna tell you what if I did. I'm not gonna tell you because that's not the issue. The issue isn't who it was. I just I just wanted to share with you what goes on behind the scenes when you see like the handlers and the posse and

the people and the whole thing. These people you know, and sometimes they're like friends from when they were younger that they get hired to be like the make sure that your everything's okay people. Does she have the water she needs? Did she get the fruit plants you wanted? Was everything okay? Did they ask any questions she was unhappy with. So sometimes people come in with nobody, nobody, like we have a lot of guests to come up here. Big stars they come up with nobody, like staying Shaggy

were here, they walked here that time. Will Smith came here, became by himself and by himself, Chris Martin from Coldplay. You didn't bring a lot of people, know, nobody want or two people. Maybe it comes in himself. Some people come in with people and usual this in this case it was it was a big star. But in some cases the person barely has a hit. Oh sometimes the posse is bigger than the career. But when your career is in as big, sometimes you want to act like

your career is big. He surround yourself with a posse so people will think, oh my god, this presson is a lot of people. They must be on the way up, or they must be bigger than I know. Anyway, that's it. That's you got for the moment. Well I got, I got used jokes. I still got that Chinese food delivery rant for Sammy Sam eighty. That's coming get to that. You want to want some email? What do you want? You do? A couple of emails, and then I got uh,

got unused jokes, and then some grammar police. I got some grammar police, and I got uh, I got a rant. I promised last week with a movie theater company. Not the movie theater, mamt We already did that. This is a company that deals with movie tickets that I had a problem with. Right before we get into that, we have to talk about our friends at Grand Prix Grand

Primotors in the heart of Brooklyn. We are scheduling a date where Brody and I will come down and we will jump into some of your hottest vehicles and maybe we'll pose on them. Like I don't know if we are the great poster guys for I'm sitting from sexy cars, sexy cars, and on sexy men. Maybe that will be the lay across the hood of the Porsche Porsche. I'm sorry, we got corrected lest week. It's Porsche se scantily are we We're not scantily clad women. We're not we're not models,

we're not beautiful people. But you get into a hot car somethings, it makes a little more beautiful. Yeah, they really are. There are twenty seven or nine Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn. Now you're you're probably sitting in Pennsylvania saying, well, what's in it for me? How do I get there? Get your car? Go to Grand Primotors dot com. There a g R A N D, p R i X motors dot com. Here's what I like best about them, because we've all bought cars, or most of us in

board cars. And you don't know if you want Mercedes and BMW. You don't know if you want a Toyota or a Hundai. You don't know which minivan you want. You gotta go to multiple dealerships. Right No, no, not with Grand Primotors. Go to Grand Primotors. You'll you tell them like I'm looking for a minivan, I'm looking for a sports car, I'm looking for whatever. They will show you and talk to you about all the cars within

twenty four forty eight hours. They will get you the call you want at a better price because they're using all the dealerships to compete against each other to get you a better This is your one stop shop. And uh, if you want to follow along online, it's g R A, N D, P R i X motors dot com. Go there and you can take a look at what they have for you. They got en models. Uh. They got also they have again, as Bodie said, the competitive pricing.

That's big um. But here's the other thing. Yes, they not only do the leasing of the cars, they take trade ins. They do least swaps, which is awesome. They do least returns. You can turn the least if you want. Uh. They have their own body shop, so if you have to get a little work done, we'll take care of it for you. Uh. And so this is an all in one place. This is like it's almost like the whole world because you can get to, you know, all

your automotive needs in one place. I personally don't like driving from dealership to dealership and dealing with multiple salespeople trying to remember who often me one deal, then the first guy over to your better deals, you go back to him, then you go back to hard, you go back all in one place, Grand Primotors. You're done. And the best part about them is they're literally become your friends. They become like family and and and you know, you

trust your friends more than you trust people. You know, people from Brooklyn like us, which is everyday average people. Straight talkers tell him that the Brooklyn Boys sent you mail. Talk that sounds like welcome. You've got mail. You've got a lot of email, but I'm only going to read one. Now, I'm kidding, I'm gonna more than that, but because Brodie're

gonna want to hear some of these. First of all, people still riffing off of the name Scary Brodie, Brodie Scary and you know, I don't know, maybe I's just throwing the towel on this one. Uh uh. First of all free Dessert Brooken Boys podcast with Scary and Brody from Mario low Era, What's Up Guys off the podcast. I had to write in about this. My brother and I went through the drive through McDonald's and ordered three coffees, one hot with cream and sugar, one iced with cream

and sugar, and one ice sugar. Only I got the hot first one. I got the hot first, when then one ice with cream started to drive and lost my place in the window. My brother had to walk in and get the coffee with no cream because they didn't put it in there before he left the car. I told him even as not even get your free dessert nice. He walked in told him of the problem They resolved it and was asked if there was anything else they could get for him. He said, yes, have three cookies please.

They gave them to him and no free dessert off the McDonald's. Fuck up. I like that, but I'm really loving it. Um, thank you for that. Also, Samantha Page sent a message to our Facebook page.

Well, they just heard the Valentine's Day episode and Scary said, nobody knows what the meaning of funny bone means, and that made me laugh. That is because we all learn in school that it's called the humorous bone, like Brody said, and it actually is

common knowledge to know that. I still disagree. Anyway, I'm assuming Secury will never read this on the podcast because I'm taking Brodie's side wrong. But I just had to message that and say that I love you guys. Thank you Sammy xl XL back to you. Yeah, just because you you favored Brodie's opinion not mine, I'm gonna give a ship.

I'm gonna say that one. Oh, Danielle on our show did a story that the great show A Key for Southerland twenty four is coming out with a prequel, So I said, what's it called twenty three? We didn't get to that one. Uh. Two people on our show wrote the same joke, and we didn't do it on the air. No one did this. I can't see it. Is that the joke? No, okay, no, we were talking about a

story Garrett brought in sound. Garrett on the show um that a pizza delivery guy right to somebody's house and they were just moving in and had a baby grand piano, either outside or when you first walked in, and he said, oh, let me play it, sat down to piano and he played incredibly well, amazingly well, not that pizza delivery guys can't play piano, but it was the fact he's just like oh, and they recorded him playing it. Seems odd they recorded and playing it, but they recorded and playing it.

So my joke was because he recently quit and he's looking for work. I said, oh, you know, it wasn't Papa John because he only plays the white keys. Two people Nate also on the show, we didn't get to it. If you don't know the Papa John story, look it up. I don't want to get into the politics of it. It's funny. I don't don't read too much into it. Uh. Lastly, Elvis on The Big Show was talking about how many sexual partners the average man has, how many admits to

the average woman, how many? And we we had people calling up with how many sexual partners they had by a certain age. And Elvis's whole thing was, what's in the past is in the past, right, it doesn't matter. So my joke and if you know Elvis, you'll understand why this is funny. I said, Elvis likes to put all of his sexual partners behind him. We didn't get to that one. Okayonasing, baby, I don't care if you can answer me or not. I'm just gonna keep going

because I don't really care about you. That's right, go on, you got then, I got. I gotta talked about my rewards. Caught with the movie the first of all, Tianna nor Dang wrote us, Hey, boys, longtime fan of you both. I tend to listen to the podcast while cleaning my Grandma's house last Sunday, I had it playing through my speakers. I always talk about even is not even, and I have to get you and you gotta get your free dessert. I pointed this out to my seventy three year old grandma,

that this is where I got those phrases from. Her first reaction was, is this Larry David talking about David Brody? Fast forward a few days to have our cable boxes. Two of the cable boxes were not working. I told her not to let them give her the run around. Of course they did and made her wait four days for a new remote. Well, the remote arrived finally, and she called back and said this wasn't the issue and that they needed to send out a tech. I said,

you better get a refund for those miss days. She said, I did. They refunded me the money for those days. Proud granddaughter. Moment Granny even knew that even was not even, and she got her money back for those fours. Don't you guys would enjoy that? Thank you? All right? Very good? So well, he doesn't even is not even. I am a member, as is my wife. We share a card for a MC stubs rewards. We go to MC movie

theaters all the time. And if you if you spend money using your card, right, you give your card, you get points. Okay, we go family of five to the movies all the time, family of four depends on what's to go. We go to the Imax, the three D. Spend a lot of money. So what my wife likes to do is she likes to use the points towards the free popcorns. Right, because you don't want to buy

a jumpop popcorn for like thirty seven dollars. But if you have three points, you use the points towards the popcorn, you feel like you've got something for free. Sure, So I'm going to the movies, yes, I think with my buddy Jeff at one point, I think this is one of the times when I used well he owed me money. M h. And I go to buy the tickets, and on any other app, this is not a problem. On this fucking app, it's a problem. When you go to pay for your tickets, it says, how do you want

to pay for your tickets? I say credit card, right, I have a credit card on file with AMC stubs, So it says this credit card, yes, And you go to close your transaction and you hit pay. Right, you hit pay and it says, congratulations, you've ordered your tickets. Here's your your your your QR code. Your total is zero? My total zero? Why because it used my points towards the tickets, even though I told it to use the credit card. Right, I don't want to use the points.

No points belong to my wife, who was none too happy that I used the points. She thinks you fucked her right, and not in a good way. There is no good way trust. So she says to me, I see all my lence. You used all the points for your two tickets. You're not supposed to use my points. So I say, I didn't mean to use the points. It said, what kind of payment do you want to make? I put the credit card in my visa and it still took the points. That's terrible. That's a glitch on purpose.

So I go on to the social media right because I called seems fair. I called the number, the eight number, and they couldn't help me. They said, we can't give you points back, but go through customer service on social media. They'll be able to help you. So I go to AMC, AMC helps. At AMC helps bullshit change your name. So here's how it starts off. At AMC Theaters, I tried to oh so on the app, it says, if you have a problem, leave feedback here. Yeah, So I go

to leave feedback. It says, type your feedback in the box, put your email address in and send the feedback. I do that and it says invalid email. Well, now I've typed the whole thing, but I didn't save it because it's in the box. So I go, all right, invalid email. Maybe it's because I'm using a o L. Sometimes the apps don't read a well, okay, So I write the whole explanation again, but this time I copy it and I put another email address invalid email address. So I

put my wife's email address invalide. I use all seven of my email addresses femail corporate invalid. So I go to a AMC theater and I say, at AMC Theaters, I tried to leave feedback on your app, But the app feedback section says my email address is invalid no matter which of my seven email addresses I use. I want to be able to buy tickets without using my Stubbs reward points. It won't let me there's no option.

By the way, Fenn Dangle has the option. So at A. Mc helps writes me back because they must have told him. Hey write this guy back, So sorry for that, David. Can you d M me your a mc stubbs account number so I can look into this, Paul. Paul there, he wrote, Paul, So I right back. Can you please follow me so I can d M you? Because my third party app doesn't allow d m s unless we follow each other. I'm not using the Twitter desktop. I spell it out. Amc Helps writes back, very sorry for that.

Can you send me your email address so I can investigate. You should be able to d M me through the following link, Paul. He sends me a link which is the link to d M. So I write a Seriously, I know how to d M. I explain to you why I can't. Please read what I wrote. I don't need a link to d M as if I don't know where the d M is, just open the app and go to the f feedback section and try to

leave feedback yourself and see if your email address works. Also, please submit my complaint about not being able to pay with a credit card when you have points to the app developers. I've noted this feedback from my website and mobile app team to look into and fix as soon as possible. Paul replying to AMC helps me. So you're not going to follow me even though you ask me to direct message you, and I asked you nicely to follow me so I can direct message you my account.

What is the problem? Follow me so I can d M you and then later you can un follow me. Right so, they right back on not sure while you're having a problem dming us, So I again, right back. I told you you have to follow me so I can d M you. I'm using your third party app, so they right back. Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, since the rewards have already been activated, they will continue

to automatically be used on on each transaction. Sadly, I can't return the points back to your card, so I right back. That's bullshit, Paul, I want my points back. Charge my credit card. That's not fair. I didn't want to use the points. You should have an option. It's or it was if you're way behind on these podcasts, you should have an option. You why did you ask me how I want to pay for it? If you're

not gonna let me use my credit card. You need to do something to make up for this, so they right back, I'd be more than happy to send you four movie passes to cover for the cost of the rewards that were activated. If this is except we're gonna send you money for your blood pressure medication anytime soon. So they write back if this is If this is acceptable, please d M U S with your mailing address. So

I right back. I really appreciate that, but I can't DM you a few Paul, don't tell me that's where it ends. No, where it ended was. I then went home and d M them from the desktop. Of course, they got their way and I but I got my full movie passes within a week. I got free dessert because even is not even what fuck you Paul anyway, But being a dumbass and not being able to read that I can't DM me follow an instruction telling me sending me a link. This is how you d ms

click the link. These people are fucking I'm verified on Twitter, bitch morons. They read off of manuals. They know if if person says a you respond with a person says be There's It's all robotic even though there might be a real person by typing, they're just spitting out bullshit because that's what they've been told to write. They don't have minds of their own. They can't think on their own. I don't think they can think when they leave their fucking job. And I gotta be honest with you. I

don't think his name is really Paul. Probably not, but here's what I said. I'm getting angry for you on this, Paul dumb as a brick. However, they eventually did right by me, but they didn't fix the feedback link on the app. No, this is this is three weeks ago. They didn't fix it. And you still can't choose the option not to use your points. The funk out of here, the funk with your app, which sucks. Here's what you can do. You can go on fendango that card that's

right by the tickets that way. What the fund is wrong with these people? W t F what the fendango? I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous. And you know what. Last week on the Michael Rabbit Point episode, I talked about Taco bell I forgot something. Fuck you Jasmine that was her name to drive through Jasmine. Fuck you, Jasmine. I'd like to leave us on a wonderful note. This is my tweet of the week. Jummadin had Jumadine. You know it's the top to highway signs. This one is real.

This person says they got a screenshot of this had adopt the Highway. Chris Bang's family and friends, Chris Bangs and Chris Bangs family and friends. I bet you it is not real. I think Chris Bangs really donating a lot of money to uh fix that part of the highway, and and I think it's family and his friends. I think the highway. Alright, you don't think so, come on, you gotta believe it. There's a Chris Bangs out there

that did this. I left my ass off. I'm just saying, by the way, for those of you who got it, you know what I'm talking about. You got it. If you didn't get it, you didn't get it. Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Boys bro bro Brooklyn, Brooklyn Boys Brock Brooklyn
