#85 Kickback Scams and Soda Shams

We we make up, We're gonna, We're gonna start, and then we don't stake seance. I think we need to play the jingle for ourselves to start up, start up. If you would see the procrastination that happens before each podcast, you wouldn't believe it. Okay, I had to go get my headphones. I forgot them. You have to make a phone call. Then I had to go to the bad in the studio. I'll be right, I can go into the bathroom. Then you stop, stop and talk to twelve people. Okay.

Then I came back and you were eating the Eminem's out of bag. A hold on, they're not a sponsor this podcast. They're not they but they are a sponsor of the elvstrad Morning show. We love what they're doing. They have these special red, white and blue skittles and again it's not why we're talking about them. They just sent up like ten giant Costco, the Costco not a sponsor, like huge bags of skittles and eminem. Here's the problem. These are the these are the party size bags. Brot.

I want you to read how many servings of these skittles are in one party size bag. It's just two pounds nine ounces, two pound bags right, okay, by the way, that's one point one six kilo. How many serving in a container hold? I'm looking it's like fifty something stupid twenty nine and not for not for us. That's the problem. If I see a singular bag of something, you hope you break it open and you know what all bets

are off a lot of the snack companies. I'm not going to mention any names, but you when you you'll see they get you. They'll put on the label a hundred calories for serving, and then you look at the bag, you go, oh, all right, eleven servings in this bag because you can't a serving is like I had two of them. I had three chips that that's very misleading. Do you know what a serving of pasta looks like?

I don't. I know what five serving of pastasist? To make a fist everyone, if you're listening to this podcast, a fist, A fistful of pasta, and then you're the way my favorite Clinicswood movie A fistful apostas. Great movie. Well, all I can tell you is that we are absolutely eating more than we should. We're eating three servings of pasta. I was taught to eat three servings of pasta on

a Sunday. Hold on, yeah, right easily. And if you go to those oversized places like the Cheesecake Factory and Macaroni Grill and Olive Garden, by the way, the places aren't oversized, the food is. People are the nice. I'm just saying that was scary, you know. But that's why we're oversized. We are, and myself included, is because they are. They're giving us three four servings one I listen, I'm

actually you're right because you're a little bigger. Can we talk about you being over you said, you're that's why we're oversized. You're in second quarter? Scary right now? And that's a bad that's a bad thing. It's a bad I need to slow down. Okay, let me explain. So you know there's four quarters in a year. Alright, so there's four seasons. Yeah, four quarters quarters, So there's four seasons of scars. Everyone knows. Quarter one of Scary is dr fat loss. I get to say, it's not not

my sponsor, and Scary eats unbelievably healthy, insanely. The program really works for you, I have to say it does work. Pounds forty five whatever. He looks fantastic, but that the still look fantastic. You look okay, you look good. Oh you're a dick. You look all right. The program, if you do it right, takes you through the year. Right, you maintain. Scary doesn't always maintain. So second quarter Scary.

It's like the people that go to religious school and then when the bell rings they run outside and smoke, and they tie up their shirts and they crop, they pull, they get all slutty. Right, Scary gets food slutty. Hashtag food slutty. He starts eating and eating and eating because for a quarter of the year he was really healthy. So then he's like, I can gain back five pounds I'm good because he still looks good. He's wearing he's wearing smaller size shirts, and he's like, I'm feeling good

about myself. I'm still in my I'm still in my first quarter clothing, right, still right that the new clothing you bought because you lost to that weight. Right. So today, perfect example. Elvis mentioned this on a fifty minute morning show. But I made the observation as well. We had a client, other client of Scaries. You should be paying me for plug in. Your clients had a new jingle, Brody plug Scaries clients, Uh, you had that Collie Power. They make

the Collie Power pizza right right. They make pizza crust with cauliflower right. Okay, So Garrett loved it because he's got Celia. Right. So Scary says, oh, they're serving the pizza and I'm gonna get some. And on Scaries way out of the studio to get pizza, he grabs a fist full of M and m's and shoves him in his mouth. It's apostasised, right, So I said, just because I'm a prick, I said, Scary, where you go? And

he goes? So, uh, that's the problems the second quarter of Scary is I'm gonna eat a little bit more because I've been a really good boy for a few months now, and my clothing still looks good at me. Now. Third quarter Scary is complete abandonment of everything. All rules are broken, right, at least scruples right. The second quarter Scary is still trying to low carbet right, still trying like, you know what, I'm gonna have the fish instead of the state. Right. So the third quart of Scary, he's

back to eating bread, but he's still eating. He's eating more, but he's still trying to look good for the summer. And then you know he's wearing less clothing because the weather is nicer. But then as the third quarter turns into the fourth quarter, the fourth quarter is fucking mayhem. You will lose a finger if you're sitting near him when he's hungry and he just starts eating everything. Oh, duncan donuts is here. Scary will use a doughnut as

a serving utensil for another doughnut. He will break a donut in half and use the hook to hook another donut and and hook it into his mouth. Because it's fourth court of Scary, he knows first quarter of scary is on its way. And that's the problem. As I tumbled to through the end of the year with all the eating, the famous eating holidays. It starts with Halloween the world. It starts with Halloween. Halloween is candy Candy go along, or it started, by the way my favorite

stripper candy Galore, and then goes through it. Then it goes through Thanksgiving, and here comes Christmas, New Year. But lay and Labor Day, you're you're you're already starting the holiday binge, which is not really a holiday. Back to school that started eating holiday. God, come on, I went to a vegetable forward restaurant yesterday. Then I'm not gonna says vegetables forward onto the table because he won't eat them. I of course it's a vegetable forward restaurant. They serve you.

I'm still in that. I'm still in that mindset. Vegetable forward, by the way, means the restaurant is focused on vegetables, but they still have rights. But again, first quarter scary steamed broccoli, steamed, second quarter scary broccoli with garlic sauce and olive oil. The third and fourth quarter of scary cheese whiz on top of the broccoli. That's the perfect way to put it. I understand that the four the four seasons my favorite oldies group, the Seas. That's that's

a favorite hit. Summer of three d and sixty five pounds, okay, December, I wait to sixty three. I put cheese on all of my red meat. Yeah, as I remember, my pants were tight. There you go. It's an acapella. Yeah. By the way, I wrote an epic Game of Thrones parody too. We didn't start the fire, and I have not downloaded it off the server yet because I put it up on a server goes. I'll try to have it for next week. I forgot. I forgot to download and load

it in. But I I rhymed all the characters names. No spoilers. I don't put spoilers in those, although I have to say I am someone I look, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I know, I know I'm overreacting. I am eight seasons behind on Game of Thrones. I get it. I haven't watched a full episode of the show. I've seen scenes. I know about stuff. I know I'm gonna eventually like it, but I haven't had time to watch the show and on Sundays, I usually watched The

Walking Dead and then whatever. So admittedly I can't complain too much, but I've done a really good job of avoiding what happens. Right, Yeah, I don't know how you don't step on a landline, especially working in this place. Well, here's the thing I'm not I'm not gonna give a sport show. We have Gandhi and Nate, who both are huge fans. They've been good, they haven't said anything, right, But the problem is you work in an environment that is used to reporting on current so I don't know

how you avoided it. But now, look, Game of Thrones as as a sci fi, um fantasy adventure show, all the stuff I normally like, so I'm excited to excuse me, eventually watch it. But the Game of Thrones is actually they're trying to win a throne. I'm giving you the basic right, Eventually, this isn't a spoiler. The episode, the final, the finale is about somebody finally winning the throne. That's the thing. I'm not telling you who it was. That all right, Okay, so the goal is to win the throne.

Did somebody win the throne at the end? Yeah, But that's not that's not that's not a spoiler. That's the whole show to be no show if nobody wanted. I'm saying, so somebody did win. Right now, some people aren't happy someone. I'm not gonna say I promise, I promise, I don't say anything. We're gonna refer. We're gonna refer. I'm gonna use the word the name Mike. Okay, So I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel tother night. Now, you know I watched all the late night chose watch them all, So I was

watching Kimmel like maybe two days later. I always watched my Colbert that night and my seth Mars. You guys know that. So I'm watching Kimmel. So the Game of Thrones was Sunday. So I'm watching I think Tuesday Night show from last week on maybe over the weekend, and Jimmy Kimmel's doing a monologue in order to tell a joke. He says, yeah, a lot of people are upset Game of Thrones. He goes, who I mean, how do you write a show like I mean that Mike would win?

Obviously there's no Mike on the show, although there's water Bottles. Who's to say and and and law take cups. So he goes he's has the real name. Yeah, he goes, and Mike wins, and then he does a joke based on the name and the character. He shows a picture of Mike. Right, it's not really Mike and it's not named It's not like nobody need Mike or close to spoiler alert because he gave it right, He just gives the spoiler. And by the way, did he get some blowback?

I looked on Twitter. People were mad at him. Now. By the way, speaking spoiler spoiler alert, someone on Iowa Morning show said spoiler alert when they meant spoiler, and our slices texted Texas, listen to the boys. That's a spoiler, not a spoiler alert. Well, you know, so back to Kimmel for a second. So I'm a little annied. Jimmy, is he going to so he attracted? He means he can't retract it. You know. My feeling is he do it on purpose to get he did it, like, oh,

it's even a few days. It's okay. It is the May sweeps, so you know in May, but that's the ratings work. Yeah, but you have to get people to tune in once started watching him. All he cares about his going Ireland having his name. But if you put that viral and you're a dick too, okay, then you know what. Here's that clip from the other night. Kidding, kidding. My point is, look, I'm going to enjoy the show, and in the grand scheme of things, I don't care

that Mike one. I don't even know what my kids basically, and the show is about dragons and beheadings and killings and sex. To me, who one is not as important. I was pissed when I found out Dumbledore died long before. But here's the thing. Double Door died in the books, right. It wasn't a surprise, but the ending of Game of Thrones. From what I remember, I could be wrong. Don't tweet me.

It doesn't matter. That hasn't been written. The finale of Game of Thrones is in a book he hasn't come out with yet, because George R. Martin said, oh, if you don't like the ending, I may or will not change it for the book. Ah. Okay, Well, so so then there's more to be It's to be continued. Well, no, it's to be Well, now they're gonna bring out a prequel.

My point is, Jimmy Kimmel, that was not cool. Um, I'm gonna just go on the record here and say, and I don't know who of our slices care or don't care that about about the show, but I'm gonna say straight up, I fucking hate Game of Thrones. I have no interest in it. But how can you You've never watched it? You don't watch. I don't like things that are dark. I don't like medie, I don't like medieval shit, I don't stop it. I don't like medieval

I don't. It just doesn't resonate with me, you know here, And maybe I'm alone on this. There could be people like like listening to this right now, be like are you crazy? Scary? But like shows like shows like Game of Thrones and Walking Down that's not nothing to do

with I know. But the point is all this stuff that's not set in reality, the supernatural, this things that are like like even back in the day, if you want to go back to the Star Trek situation and things like the Star Trek situation, like even like films like fucking I think people understand you want reality. I want reality ship. I have to say is you don't like fiction like, yeah, fiction, no, but science fiction especially

and medieval prehistoric stuff, Shakespearean things I don't. I don't relate, Yeah, like Downton Abbey, stuff that takes place. If you're doing a period piece, I'm out And I don't know. If I don't know, it's not that I don't have the attention span I watch. Would you watch a piece about a period I would You're disgusting what grammar? Okay? Dot? I just want to know a little dot. I just want to know if you feel the same way on something you know, on this stuff or well, you know,

I don't I love sci fi? Or there? Can you spell? Can you spell? Medievil? I'm asking for a reason. Medieval M E D I E V A L. Yeah. I find that to be one of the most annoying words because it's medieval, because it's medieval medieval. Right But people, all right, people, people listening to this M I don't fall into that trap, all right. I hate that word. Yeah,

not a good word, not right away. The point is there's gotta be you know, how do you feel about is there something about in your life that you feel the same way about when it comes to watching ship is that that you're like, I'm out because to me, again, if I don't like British it from the eighteen hundreds, I'm out. You know, I'm out on. I am out

on really bad and it's redundant Hallmark movies. I can't sit through the guy who comes home for the holidays and falls in love with the girl who just lost a finger, and it's perfect timing, and you're like, will they get together? Won't they get together? They're all attractive? What about rom comms like Hugh Grant films, not a huge like that type of if if if a rom com? More calm here, Okay, here's what I have a problem with.

I have a problem with rom coms when they're all rom and like no com com because it's in the category, and you're like, I find that, show me the funny. I have obviously a lot of respect with m I find, yes, I find obviously have a lot of respect for comedy as an art form. And I find like when you watch the Grammys and they put like Best Comedy and the US two this is an old reference. I apologize, but they would put like Ali mcbeel, well, they put Glee right Glee was a great show that had some

amusing stuff right. There was something the coach was funny, but the show was not supposed to be a fun like like, you can't put Glee up against modern family or or or or friends like real comedies. Right to me, that's not and I always feel like they just like they throw in the the musicals and the So for me, a rom com if it's just cute because she said something silly, yeah and he fell for her, that's not a comedic comedy. Call me when you're a comedy. Now,

make a comedy with some romance. Make a com rom now you're talking that, somebody, get me, get me a director right now on the phone. I will make a com rom and that should will be funny. So a comedy that happens to be romantic romantic thing that had just maybe the com rom is when the unattractive, funny guy gets the hot girl, not the hot guy and

the hot girl getting together. That's a rom com. I want to see the com rom where where Kevin James gets the hot girl like a fat guy gets the I love Kevin James, but you look at sitcoms, it's always the fat comic at the unattractive male comic and the hot wife always comm um. We uh, just got back from Puerto Rico. What are you clapping at me? By the way, somebody caught that on clapping at made

you hear last week's episode? Did you not know? I said, whenever you go um, I'm gonna clap and people are gonna know that they missed it. Yeah, I'm sorry. That was a bit last week. I know it was so on the fifteen minute morning show, you did that and no one heard. I went just the background. I went just to see if the slices were paying attention. Toping this on Thursday May three, and last week, you know, we came back from Puerto Rico and I had my

sent Bird in my bag. We're talking about the cologns that we we chose. I feel silly, so I've told you before that I'm picking my cologns to take with me from center based on where we're going. But the beauty of cent Bird is you get really extravagant designer and perfumes in such a tiny little space. So I get to carry it on. I wasn't checking a bag and I'm like, I need something I don't need a big bottle that they're going to confiscate at the airport and T s A Is gonna take home to their kids.

So that's what I did. I brought my sent bird with me, um. I had the tom Ford and I was smelling great on the plane when most people stunk like feet. Well. I took the Dula and Cabana, the light blue poor home because Gabannah reminded me of Cabannah and we were gonna be pool side and Puerto Rico doesn't any I'll tell you though. We had some listeners who were like, oh, Brody, it's so nice, and I was like, yeah, I'm I'm wearing my adult chan Gabanna. I didn't tell him how much I paid for because

I wanted to think I paid full price. I did not thank you. Birds of Luxury Fragrance subscription subscription service. You get to mix and match uh and and choose from over four and your fifty designer brands. In case you were wondering, Yeah, I don't need to buy the big jug with the handle on. We don't need that stuff. And it sits in your medicine cabinet and collects dust for thirty years like my all my father's colognsuh. They have tom Ford Kenneth cole Berbery product you name it,

Dulchan one twenty sprays. That's that's enough for you to put on four times a day, day month from month right entire month. I did, I did the math on that. How do you like that? Very nice? So right now what we want to do is offer a special deal to our Brooklyn boys. My favorite part. Yes, we're gonna give you fifty percent off your first month five zero, not five, fifty percent off your first month. That's only

seven dollars and fifty cents to your first fragrance. But what you have to do is you have to go to sent bird dot com slash Brooklyn. That's s C E N T B R B I R D bird sent bird dot com slash Brooklyn and use our code Brooklyn. Okay, make sure you use the code Brooklyn as well. So use the vanity U R L and then Brooklyn for fifty percent off your first month with sent bird. I don't think we didn't use jokes last week? Did jokes? Well,

I'll tell you what I have here. I have a I have a change of pace on the used jokes thing I have some used jokes, and then I have some used jokes. What's used? No, they're used, but they weren't used on the radio. This is a new thing. This is real life David Brodie jokes. So I'm gonna give you some unused jokes on the big show that we didn't get to and then I'm gonna it's a new feature. I'm gonna share the kind of thing you're missing if you're hanging out me in real life, real

life Brodie. All right, So we did a story on the show about how Whole Foods is not gonna have straws anymore at their stores, and I said, no, They're only gonna have free range straws. If you go to shop the Whole Foods, you understand that they have free range chicken every these free range. That means the chicken got to run around and be happy before they killed it. That's a buzzword that I fall for every time. Right, Uh, Gandhi what to see? Gondy from our show went to

see Aladdin. She said it was great, but they modernized it a little bit. So my joke was, oh, did they have hybrid flying carpets? Now? I didn't get to that Danielle did a story that Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's being canceled. It's going off the air after like twenty years. So I said, now it's really the final answer. Uh. And then here are the jokes. Here are the jokes. Oh, Spruce's witing outside. I Spruce, Spruce on the loose? Um, all right, well that's Spruce in

hold on Sprus. Come in, Hello, Spruce, were you gonna come in? We're not doing our podcast or anything, not every Thursday. It's amazing you only want to hollerrite us on Thursdays. Mike Hog, Yeah, I want to say it. I'm just going to give your heads up. I know you're huge Mets fan. Who's here? Uh? Not tomorrow at noon? Uh, we'll have Carlos Beltrain belt Tron Okay, yeah, he'll brod. He'll be at the beach. He'll be here with Jack Brewer,

Now Carlos Beltron some people pronounce his name Beltran. I did that and there was a what was his name on Sunday Night Football, No, Sunday Baseball, John, I don't know, get his name wrong too, No, no, no, John Krasinski. No no, he's the old announcer from Sunday Night. Now he was the guy in the office. We're talking

about the guy on Sunday Night gameball, John Miller. Miller. By the way, remember the meme we read last week, Miller. So we read a meme last week that if you want to know what it's like to be a ghost, be listening to a podcast and know the answer that the hosts don't know because you're yelling. I know the answer and nobody hears you. So John Miller used to call Carlos Beltron Carlos Beltron like he was doing like an l A. And I just thought that was horrible.

And then when I bought the baseball game it was I think MLB two K or one of the baseball games he was the announcer, And of course I'm a Mets fan. I would always play the Mets, and so he would now coming to the bat, Carlos Beltron. I had to turn the sound off. It was so annoying. Well, I just wanted to tell you because I remember when he played for the Mets. You were ecstatic. Yes, you love that guy. So I just here's what I'll tell you about Carlos. He is one of the nicest men

on the planet. But he's very shy and very quiet, is he? Yeah, but Brod, he's going to be at the beach, so he's gonna miss out. I got into him once he's he's, uh, may well, we'll hooked up later when when we're not taking up would be really cool. I call in. Yeah, I guess stuff. Talking about Bruce.

Pretty sure, President Clinton was president a couple of decades. Yes, we know you all that time, and you have not had one piece of social media. You weren't even on my Space back in the day. No, nothing, No, he's on. People are like, how do I tweeted Spruce,

Did you show up to the podcast, the live podcast where it's gonna be it's it's we have a the location, we have some ideas and I have to go to another state. No, probably not No, No,

I mean initially I think the first one. I think the first one we do is going to be over the summer this year, so we may need to have you there. Spruce would like you there so he can mamn you in front of other people. He wants to man, I'm not going to a man. You not not doing that. I want to go by the way. You know what he did? Scary. No, let's I'm gonna call you out, so scary. Scary played English translator in Puerto Rico to a woman who spoke English. I didn't realize who happened

to be Puerto Rican. So we're on a giant tour bus. We have to talk about We're gonna talk about back. I know he's gonna do unused jokes. Let me finish us jokes. Second, let me just do these jokes real quick and I both called out. Yeah, we'll talk about this later. Oh yeah, scary and eye from the streets of Brooklyn. You can't put one over on. We call we're gonna, We're gonna, We're gonna let out of Brooklyn slices. No, all about the scam. That is the kickback, the kickback vacation.

So let me give you this joke. So we're at the hotel, the carib Hilton, beautiful Hotel, carib Ba Hilton. Sorry he calls a carib the carib Ba Hilton. And we're getting on the elevator. What is that all about? It's all about you know, we're gonna it's so uh to pilots get on our elevator, airplane pilots and they have their roll on luggage. Sounds like the beginning of a joke. Oh, it's the beginning of a bunch of jokes.

So they get on the elevator. Then there's there's a couple of listeners of ours that one trips on the elevator, and so the elevator. The guys get on the elevator and they turn around there staring dead like robots into the door, like right back out. I contact nothing. So I say, excuse me. We realize you have a choice in elevators and we appreciate you choosing this one. And they don't. They don't flip, they don't saything, but the people on the on the elevator starting to laugh. So

I said, this is a stalely elevator. The exit is located right in front of you. Nothing. Okay, so I said, gentlemen, expect a smooth ride, but it may get a little choppier on the fourth floor. People on the elevator are laughing. They're looking dead ahead like they're just like we're pilots, we were in the military. They're not laughing. So then I said, we'll be reaching your destination in less than two minutes. The outside temperature is the same as when

you boarded the elevator. Nothing. So then I said how long. It stopped on a couple of floors on the way up, And so I said, after you reach your floor, gentlemen, be careful as your luggage you may have shifted during the ride. Nothing. Everyone on the other the people on the elevator will laugh in the rasses off, but they were not. That's used jokes from David, but those actually used jokes because they were and I was just trying to be amusing to these guys. Yeah, okay, so out

we're in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico. Don't have a Don't have it again? What is week's podcast? That's Frankie Cuts so scary as you know, he Maman's black people. All right. When someone doesn't speak English, well he speaks louder to them and slower. Where is the bathroom? And they'll speak in the bathroom? Right, Okay, all right, sorry, So now this is a new one. I've never seen

him do this before. We're on the bus to go from the hotel, the old San Juan, and the lady who's in charge of the tour, she's telling everybody what we're gonna do. We're gonna ride into town, right, and so she has a map, one of these like you know cartoon maps that shows like everything that looks like it's like but but it's like the drawings of the buildings. It's like a road map. So she says, Okay, I'm gonna tell you every what we're doing today. So scary

is like sitting third row. Everyone listen up. She's gonna tell us what we're doing today. So she says, Okay, now we're going to drive into town and we're going to stop by the steps because the streets are too narrow for the bus to go in, so we're gonna have to walk because the streets are too narrow for the bus. Just and so you'll be going to see these hills. You'll be walking up the hills. All San Juan has a lot of hills, all right, So she says,

it's hills. We're gonna be going up the hills. It was like like we didn't understand her, or like she was speaking in sign language and he was translating, and so so then she says, Then she says, I recommend for lunch you go to Barachilla or something like that. And she has a big circle with an ex on it on the map, and he goes, all right, So she's saying we should go to Barrachilla. The a there's an X on the map right there where she's pointing, And I go, the only reason why and I know

it is the X where the treasure is scary. We understand no, no, no, no, where Fung was right. So everybody's like, we hear her, scary, we hear her. She's speaking perfect English. She's not, she's American. She was, she just has a slight accent. Wasn't the accent, it was the volume. The people in the back of the bus, we're not paying attention and they were talking. So I why did you look at spruce now when you said back at the bus, why did you do that? I

did not do it. I did not Wait wait the people in the back of the bus, I did not do that. Now, wow, why Rosa parks. Let's let it, let's get onto So he translated everything. Alright, she says, so so so she says, you'll go there for lunch and then we'll meet back at the bus stop where we drop you off at. So she said, as we should meet back in the same place around everybody heard her. So here's where we got scammed. And this is one

of those things that that we we've realized. Any time tour guide, somebody connected to a bus wants to give you a recommendation at the hotel, everybody the concierge, concierge, what what look, let's see if you can fill in the blanks. Okay. So I went on a trip of Western Caribbean cruise years ago and we stopped on an island and we took a car a tour. You get in there, we'll drive you down with the thirty bucks. When you get in the car, the guy says, you

guys have lunch yet? No, you guys, you know we have to go. There's a place I like to go with my wife, a little seafood place. It's done by the water. It's fantastic. Oh will you take us there? Yeah, we can stop there if you want. And then when you get there, the guy's like, hey, Maria, say hey doing whatever the well, yeah, how many guys got got three? And it's all other car service or limo drivers with their with their uh their what do they call it,

their marks. They're all on the take the place they recommend. Hustler. No, it's it's a it's a kid. They have an agreement ahead of time, and they will give in you know, when no one's looking, because they have because because because you ask them for a reference. So they're gonna tell

you the place that gives them a kickback. Right, So when you go there, they usually walk up to the host is right, they go to the hostess stand and they got and they mark it down and then you don't notice that unless you're looking for They probably make like five dollars on each person at least right, so you don't always get the best place. Like, hey, this guy knows the best place. We're not gonna go to the tourist place. Oh, yes you are. You're going to

the place that isn't good enough. They have to pay people to bring you here. We brought twenty he came twenty strong. That she probably made a hundred bucks off of that, because meanwhile, Scary's yelping it. It's a gatting it, and he's like, and I'm like, he's a five star place off the block. Well that's the thing. I'm like. I mean it was a three point eight out of five stars, and I'm like, twot weight to the left, there's a four point six, and five ft to the

right is a four point seven. Why are we not there? I mean, this lady has to know about those places. But instead we went to the place that was circled on the map that also was taking out advertising, which also is questionable because the woman on the bus goes to the hostess stand and she says, they'll have a table few guys in five minutes. First of all, that means they knew we were coming because they had a table for twenty. Second of all, then scary goes. She says,

they'll have a table for us in five minutes. But all I could tell you is she was on the take. And the fact that it was the one that was advertised on the map. You don't go to those places because guess what they're advertising because they need help. Not on the map. Yeah, advertised on the radio, your quality establishment. But on the map that's like, you know whatever, But you know what, that's a good place. On the point was she circled it, and she didn't circle it in

front of us. It was pre circled like this is the place I'm gonna send you to the circle. So so we know we didn't know any better. We knew it. We knew it was the kickback restaurant. So we tried telling our troop leader, the person from our company that was like, oh, we'll go there, it doesn't matter. We were like xnay, Hey, we couldn't say because the woman was there when Latin, Yeah, it was on the restaurant. Yeah, that K three stars thing. Fungo these mashed plantains or cassava.

You know what I know the thing I know him a fungo is when um, oh fudge, when uh it's cooked. Yeah, it usually comes in a lump. It comes in a lump, it comes in it's I don't know if it's fried. Yeah, it's cooked. It's fried. It's it's like mashed potatoes. And it's usually in a mold of some sort like so when when you falls off the spoon, it goes when Thompson goes. When Keenan Thompson on SNL does the impression of David Ortiz, he always talks about how he talks

about my fungo. That's why I was like, oh, that's I know. It's a Puerto Rican food. Uh, Dominican food. It's Dominican Puerto Rican. They have different variations of it. But it's actually pretty good. It didn't look good. It looks like cat food. Mold. It looked like a mold of cat thing. It usually look good. Okay, here's the thing. It usually comes with other things. So you want my fungo is Spanish for that fund up on the plate.

And here's my problem with it. Chickenfungo. Chickenfungo, s my fungo. It is a million variations. I thought it was an Italian curse back in the day. Here's the problem. But the problem is it comes with whatever. It's like the steak. Um, if I had to stake m a fungo, they gave me a little bit of steak and a drizzled and yeah, yeah, you speaking of getting fung going over again. This is

not a generalization. It's only specific to this restaurant. Now, if this is the way Puerto Rican people prepare it, that's fine. But on the menu it said, um, camardones and guahillo. I think which which I shrimp and garlic sauce, right, if I'm saying that properly, and so shrimp and garlic sauce in a Spanish restaurant, right, it's excellent. It's excellent.

It's it's it's okay, it's it's baby shrimp peeled right in uh in an oil like garlicy oil sauce which you can dip the bread and it's like an orange. It's fantastic. So when I saw them the menu, I ordered it. What I got was a plate a lettuce with four shrimp like uh, in a circle on the lettuce with the tails still on them. I am, I'm you know what I believe in. I believe in free speech. I believe that America is the greatest country in the world.

And I believe when you serve shrimp, you take the tails off unless it's shrimp cocktail, especially if it's but if it's right, it was not Spanish shrimp and golics, So it's still a cocktail. If you take the tail off, it's just a I'm gonna take a I'm gonna take that a step further. Um, if I have a salad with olives, my black olives, the pits need to be removed ahead of Why did you look at spruce? Just that? And he was like you wanted credit? You were like,

you was my olives? You looked at spruce, my black olives, because what is that the green ones are usually pitted. I don't understand why you had to look at spruce and you want to get credit for same black olives. You're a phrasist. You're a food racist. We talked about this. He's a phrasist. Oh, you're also you're Also, if you think about that figure, Dick, Hey, dick, same exact, same exact thing. It's in the food. I don't want to choke on it. You don't want You will choke on

black tack. Don't want to choke on a pit Brad Pitt, Okay, the same thing. Okay, But here's the worst thing, the worst thing ever that I've had done to me with food like that Switzerland, I think, and I ordered pizza with clam sauce with clams on top. I know what we're going with this one. They served the clams in the shell on top of the pizza, okay, and it wasn't like they were sitting. They cheese over it. So I had to take cheese on the shell. Yeah, the shell was in the child, so I had to take

the cheesy shell. Problem with the Swiss off the pizza. Yeah, but then neutral and I had to take the clam out. It's weird and I had to take thank you, I had to take the I take the clam out, then toss it back onto the pizza, and then take the cheese and try to fill in the holes the cheese. You have to do a lot of work. Don't serve me food that has to be prepped in the food right, don't say don't. I don't want a hot boiled egg in my Cops salad with the shell still on that's

hold on, hold on, hold on. Who the hell has ever served you in Massachusetts with the shell on the edge Massachusetts? Well, my wife wanted the Cops salad and the hot ball that had the shell on it. That's what I said. I've never seen that. Yeah. I do think though that with the clams, they're trying to show you that this came from a real clam, and we spent the money on real clams, and it's not the ship from the can. So they're saying, hey, look at us,

we're gonna were you want. We're gonna throw the fucking full clam on your on your linguini, and we're gonna cheese it over and butter and garlic. That's the thing. That's why they're doing that. Now, I don't agree with it. I'm with Brodie, but that's an articulate and intelligent argument. Scary Yeah, okay, yeah, you pitted olives. Pitted olives in

the sound. I'm just saying, you looked at me when you said black problem I'm just saying, every time you mentioned color stuff, you kind of look at me and give me a smile. If he gets it's not colored stuff, it's African America. If he gets shrimp kids taken out of the shrimp, I get to have the olive. But if there was a shrimp here in the room, I wouldn't look right at it because that would be that would be fish racist. I woul they're not fish. I

understand the crustaceans. But you look your figot. You did it prost. Tell him you embrace it. Hold it all right. So look, we did a public service with the kick but don't go to the kickback. Don't go to kickback places. Where are you going? You're leaving? Are you giving me a hug? Man? Thank you so much? You're awesome. I love you. I love you too, scary, I gotta go. You guys are beaut You can't smell so great? Are you wearing scent? Bird? No? That Birds a company you

don't like. I don't like wearing cologne and stuff, So I were like, what are you wearing? He wears oils. He smells like he's at the beach all the time, like he was coconut oil, and he was he was oils and then on the weekend he likes to pleasure himself, then he was oil of Oh oh there you go. All right. Yeah, by the way, you have to go to the land calm counter and call it land come. They hate that, they do. I used to do that when I was a kid. I used to go to go, hey,

you put this land calm on your face. It's land calm whatever. That's like. When I fly aer Lingus Airlines, one big joke the whole time. It's like air Lingus. Um, you know what else we brought on our trip or what I what I was. I was actually showing off in the airport. Yeah, I had to show off the Gravity to Go. I actually put this on the Brooklyn boys. I saw that you had it in a little travel bag on your shoulder. So the the Gravity to Go it's ten ten. I was just looking up the stats

on it. It's ten pounds. This is a blanket that's changed the way a lot of people sleep. Um, and they travel. Yeah, I mean the regular gravity blanket has changed the way people sleep. Yeah. This one comes with it. It comes with a carrying case, special carrying case that I had over my shoulders. So it's a special travel case carried at home in mind, I know, right, and

it's premium grade. It's therapeutic. I don't know if you've realized this, but these, you know, gravity blankets from gravity blankets dot Com have been known to help people with us sleep better, cool their anxiety there, you know, get you know, get rid of all types of issues that they might be having. And now with gravity on the Go, um, it's it's it's perfect for right taking it with you. Yeah, it's like the people that bring like peacocks and squirrels

on planes as comfort animals. Now you can just bring you a gravity blanket. You want to get people off, we do. Yeah, So if you go to gravity blankets dot Com, use the code word Brooklyn, the Gravity on the Go blanket specifically you'll get if you order that one and put that in your shopping cart, you'll get off for your our slices. And you might as well get the new cooling blanket now because it's the summertime and you can use the cooling blanket. It'll still make

you feel swaddled and comfortable and and and uh. But it's it's got special fabrics that draw away the moisture from your body and this way you won't be as hot. So that's a good thing. So fifteen pounds, twenty pounds pounds on the cooling blankets. And of course the gravity on the go is that ten pound blanket. Go to gravity blankets dot com and make sure you use the keyword. Brooklyn, Well, why wouldn't you? Did you even finish your unused jokes the last segment I did? Now, this isn't a joke

as much as an observation. It can I can I grab my police you real quick? Dude, you're gonna anyway? So what the hell I feel like? Because you're the guy hitting the jingles today, I don't get the jingle? Ok. So yeah, come on, man, you want a Grammar police myself? Nope, MC gram please you? Someone removed it from what button bar? No, actually it's there, gram Pololice, police, police, police, So grammar

police before I get to you. On today's Elvistraight Morning Show phone Tap, Greg t was correcting a guy who said a t M machine and pin number. Yeah, he said, he corrected him properly, and Gregg he said, it's a t M and it's pinned right, people texted in and said he stole off from the Brooklyn Boys. He's obviously

been listening. Oh he listens. Jersey Kid listens. So when we were in Puerto Rico, remember he was trying to get on stage with us, like we should go up on stage of the brook And Boys and Jersey Kid. And I said, I have a better idea. What do you think about the celebrity buzz with Garrett and the Jersey Kid. I think that is a better ring to it. I like celebrity buzz in New Jersey or twenties. Something's

doing nothing in the Jersey Kid. Uh Tales over Cocktails and the Jersey Kid or Scotty B has a new a new podcast with Andrew Best and serial Killers, which I'm writing the jingles for this week. J serial Killers. They have eight episodes already, serial Killers excellent. They review old and classic and new cereals. Okay, so what does it have to do with So during the live broadcast, Greg t went to your hotel room and put on all your clothing Allah Chandler from Friends and jumped into

the well allow Chandler's clothes. I meant, right, Joey put on and you know could you what is it? Could you be wearing any more clothing? Right? Okay? So at some point Greg T was talking about Grady was and you yelled out. He calls himself to self appointed hype man, which is redundant because if he calls himself, then self appointed is redundant. It's like saying, oh, I wrote my autobiography. Of course you did. I'm just saying you said. Greg

T calls himself save that note. I didn't want to forget. He carried it over here during the show. I didn't have time to voice texted to my phone. I was surprised it made it back to New York. Yeah it did it? Did it? Did? Um? I also wanted to mention about why everyone should have a sober friend. Uh, and then I wanted to talk about, uh diet coke no ice? Which would you rather me touch on? Real quick diet coke no ice? Of course? Okay? So uh I our listener at M E J I A C

A T h E Mahia Kathy or Cath. I believe his name is Phil. He wanted me to settle a bet. He's having a fight with another slice who have slices are fighting? Why? Okay? How are they in touch with each other? That secret friends with each other? Now they're friends with each other. Oh, I'll get to the secret thing. Because I had a little problem with our secret fan page this week's Yeah, but I had a problem with it.

I'll tell you what that is, all right. So Phil says Brody likes diet coke no ice, and the person wrote back, it's pepsi, and yet yes, diet, and so then Phil wrote, no, it's coke. He always says it's one word, diet, coke no ice, and she said or the other person says, no, it's PEPSI want to bet, And then Phil says, um, sure, loser buys and panadas when we get back. So this must have been maybe they were both in Puerto Rico, where they were. That's

what it sounds like the PA. Now, first of all, shout out to both of you that you're arguing over the dopey way. I own a my soda, die coc noise. It is one word now to settle bette. And because it's grammar police all tied in, it's all full circle. The person who wrote he likes pepsi spelled it non capitalized lowercase p E p s y. How up. Now it's the second largest soda brand in the world. Now

you've been seeing your entire life. Now I'm not. I look, it could have been order correct, maybe if they had a cat named Pepsi, but it still should have had a capital P, so, I wrote back, hilarious fight. Truthfully, can you trust anyone who spells pepsi as pepsi with it the way I spelled it so that they I can't. I can't, I can't give them credit. So it is diet coke, no ice. However, I do drink as much diet pepsi. It's just most most places, a larger percentage

of places have diet coke. So I usually order a diet coke first, which is marketing. And I'm sure the coke people at the coke company are very happy that I say, die coke. You know, in a South scary and I don't get this at all. When they want a soda they order a coke. Yeah, especially in Atlanta, the home of Coca Cola. Yeah. But but the thing is, Coca Cola was so big it was it was all encompassing. It was the first soda to appear there that really

made it more. Remember I'm going back the Scots tape like, yeah, I have no problem with Dad. I have a problem with it because coke coke. But but a coke is a flavor. So now, now, back years ago when I managed restaurants before, Coke had coke, vanilla, coke, cherry, coke, orange, all those flavors. Right, it was just coke, right, Coked

I coke. So I remember a guy came into my restaurant at the register because it was a counter restaurant, fast food, and he said, um, I want to get give me a roast beef with cheese, fries with cheese. And he goes uh. He says, I, I want to coke. What flavor coke do you have? So I said coke because they have spriteer orange. Yeah, we have orange, we have sprite He's like, yeah, give me us an orange coke. Yeah. Well that's what I realized. Coke is a flavor. I mean,

it's a brand, but it's not. But you can brand and it's a and it's and it's a flavor. It's specific to that. But if I say Scotch carbonated beverage that we all know. But if I say Scotch tape. Obviously, I don't have to have tape from Scotch. Right, So indeed, and this guy didn't want necessarily a Coca cola. It could have been but if you or but but he's the thing. If I order, if I say, give me Scotch tape or aluminum foil, right, what Scotch tape was

not a luminous Give me Scotch tape. Any brand of Scotch tape you give me, It's probably gonna be okay. If you give me something like if I order to ask you for a band aid and you give me a bandage instead of a band aid, I'm gonna be fine. But if you order a coke and you want orange soda, it's not gonna be okay. And they're not interchangeable. You have to order a specific flavor. That's the difference. It's like going give me an ice cream. You don't want

an ice cream, you want vanilla. You want a flavor. We want a different company, right you. It's it's completely different. So when you say order a coke and then you go give me a coke making a sprite, it makes the fucking sense. It doesn't. Second of all, but how does this guy get around when he's down, you know, down in the south. What does he do. I guess he says, give me a sprite coke, or give me a give me an orange coke. Yeah, which, by the way,

you're gonna have a coke with art. But if you want a soda and I know that other places in the country call it pop, I know that, or a bubbler, I know that. But specifically, if you want bubbler is a water fountain, Yeah, bubbles war found right right, right, right, you're right, you're right, right right. So if it's you call it pop pop same, it's the same problem. If you want to pop and you go give me a coke,

you're getting a coke. It's a company and a brand name. Anyway, So were you and I were in a restaurant, uh in Puerto Rico and a girl said, the girl ordered, give me a coke and a Pepsi. Dude, nowhere where do they have both ever? Because unless they buy their own cans of soda, their own bottles, the competing brands. Right, if if Coke puts soda towers in your restaurant, you're getting Coke getting products. Pepsi's not putting a soda tower

in because that's part of the deal. They install the equipment, so you'll promise to use their proclusivity. Right, No, you can't go into a restaurant. Go give me one pepsi, one coke, give me a seven up and sprite. This isn't a grocery store. Oh I do have a pet peeve though? Can I give you a die Coke pet? You want to go first? You have something, not a couple of emails? Uh, read the emails and I'm gonna talk to you about the problem. How with die Coke

on the flight ahead? That sounds like it's time Welcome. You've got mail? You can always email us at the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com. Thank you to the people on Twitter who when someone asked on Twitter, what's the Brooklyn Boys email, seven people said the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. Uh. First of all, guys, slice for life here since the rapping Board episode, listening to this week's podcast than eighty four and wanted to

try to clear confusion on where the tip goes. I'm a first I'm in the vagina in the high I am a server. So firstly, you are correct in that they should hand off the table. My waiter left in the middle of the meal, didn't say goodbye, and the other guy came up and started talking and didn't say that word about that he was taken off. Um, they should have handed off the table. I've I've taken tables for people before for a number of reasons and have

always explained to the table what was going on. Secondly, the tip, at least in the system in Darden Restaurants, which owns a lot of brands that we know that you might frequent. When someone takes a table, the ticket is then transferred to the server who took it right, So if Server A how to leave and Server B has to take their table, server A tells the manager and the manager puts the ticket under Server B. So the person that finishes is the person that gets the tip.

So everything goes to server B. If you tip, it all goes to them, nothing to server A. That's why it's not very common, since you've got to make that money, but it does happen every now and then. I love you guys. Funk that snowflake in the last episode that's not listening because it's scary and hashtag a slice for a night and fuck you. So, if you think about it, Brodie, you didn't want the tip to go to server because he fucked you, right, I wanted less of a tip

to go to him because I thought he was okay. Well, and then this person is saying that Server B takes over the table and the tip, therefore you should not have faulted Server B. Okay, alright, No, My problem with Server B is he didn't come over and say take it over anything you need let me know. Uh. Eer I arias road scary and brody on this one. What's up? Boys? Straight to the point. Episode eighty three was a rough

listen for some of us listeners, no way around it. However, with you Scary, I don't think that you should apologize. What was eight three was where I was talking about Greg T's daughters. Oh so uh, and this person is referencing the listener who said she's gonna stop listening because of my comment. I was making faces and every I don't think you guys should apologize. I was making faces

every time something that would be considered offensive was said. Um, I have a ten month old daughter, and I get where they're coming from. Yeah, I get it. If you're a truly a slice, though. You listen to the episode and the comment would be like scarier crazy, you don't like and move on, exactly as it said in the email. I personally don't get offended by anything. Keep it coming, guys,

That's why I listen. Let's fucking start a blizzard in July. Wow, Brodie, I see you there with your diet coke no ice. Love you guys, best podcast ever. Hashtag Scary and Brodie, Brent her vet ch chit chitch right, Dear Brody and Scary Iam Brody, both of us. Sorry Scary. I had to put Brodie first since he's the grammar police. Began listening to your podcast recently, started at the end, and now I'm working my way from zero to current. Goody,

you're welcome. I found myself binging your show over the over when I'm finished with uh wow, they listen. Let's put it this way, they're enjoying the show. Um, can't skip that paragraph, Brodie. I love your aunts. They make my day and my daughter is hysterical laughing hearing me flip over stupid people and situations. I feel like we have similar expectations of proper business etiquette, and I begun to begun to embrace more so now than before. That

even is not even. I was reading the comments section from an article tonight about a recent law that was pasted in Alabama. Oh boy, uh, this grammatical error flew right out of the water. Had to share. I hope this gets to air. Love listening to you guys. What was the grammatical this is what? Al right? I could do it out right out of the water. And someone wrote on a thread to the Alabama law, what a waste of tax money? W A I s t it will be challenged and defeated without US or US constitutional

amendment US wasting? What is an US constitution? My guy? This person? Alright, consider the source? There you go, So Brent, Brent, he's putting out grammar police on comment threads. You can't. Yeah, well anyway, and what do you mean by consider the source? Yeah, I'm just the people that wrote on the comments comments. Anyone who want to make sure you didn't mean Brent? No, not Brent quite? Okay, all right? I told you about Maria last week. Who's restarted? Can I yeah? Jump in

with one? God? This was during the show was yesterday. Greg t was grilling to get ready for Memorial Day. We had a party here, guys say, thanks to our friends at uh well, you heard the show Party six, the whole thing. So they wanted us to grill. So Greg t was grilling and he was making hot dogs. I can't tell you how many people texted and saying it better be Feltman's hot dogs hashtag browning scary Brooklyn

Boys slices. So, although Feltman's is not currently advertising, thank you to all the slices that texted in and remembered how much we love advertising advertising works, how much we love Feltman's hot Dogs. Now I want to we have a we have a complaint. Do you want your complaint? We don't have to do We don't have to do a complaint. Keep positive today, all right now, Cheryl Edgerton is it's all upset, Get me upset now from Charlottesville, Virginia. Ahead,

she says she loves the podcast. Here comes the ship Sandwich by the way, because she starts by saying, let me start by saying, how much I love your podcast, so much fun to listen to you. Yeah, okay, we're gonna go right to the part where she starts bitching. But now, wait a minute, does she say anything like, I don't know, really get upset. I have a great sense of humor, but she's just upset. She doesn't like

where we're going. She says she listened to number eighty four of our our podcast and says that the last several episodes don't have the same feel. It seems you are moving away from the format you have established. You seem rushed because you have visitors stopping by and not getting to what makes your podcast so wonderful. You don't have the time to get to rants or read intern letters or email. Also, you're not able to read your emails okay, reading an email right now, or talk about

your free ship. But oh, you know, we do. We just haven't gotten any free ship for us. Cheryl, send us a free ship? What were gonna talking about it? Right? Uh? Having these other DJs stopping in has lost the feel of the two of you, the two of you ranting and bantering back and forth. These distractions feel like you don't have anything to discuss, discuss, But yet during the last fifteen minutes you're always rushing to get in when

you originally had on the agenda. Even in episode eighty four, Scary begins to discuss emails, but it was too soon and then ran out of time and I never read emails. Well, I made him up. I read a couple today. I love listening to the two of you. All Right, It's just not the same when you have others come in and chat. I understand that it just doesn't feel like your podcast and you're going off on too many rabbit trails.

Keep doing what you do because it's great, and just let those other people keep on walking by your studio. I like her without inviting them in. Peace out, and I'll always be a hashtag Slice. Now, first of all, this did not come from I mean she just by the way way I was joking it earlier, I was I'm not a man. I read it is because she is a Slice, unlike that woman last week. Here's what Cheryl right is her name? Cheryl Clady is going down the can Abe trail, oh big time. Here's what I

say about Cheryl. First of all, love that your Slice for life and your feedback, your feedback and your input is very important to us. That being said, and I'm sure they give it to us in our secret fan page. Eighty four episodes we have over the course of eighty four episodes tweaked the show a little bit. We've had guests all the time pop in and a lot of times it's hilarious radio, like when Spruce was in here earlier. Um,

I will love having Spruce come through here. I will tell you that episode eighty three was all over the place. There were way we had wait way too many people because people kept coming in and like, oh, I have an idea, right, And so we had twenty something's podcast, we had a Jersey kid, we had just Spruce was here. A lot of people. So you're absolutely right. We will try to minimize how many people we have, but from time to time we're gonna have occasionally people come in

if we have to work them into the conversation. But your feedback is is warranted and we appreciate it. And you know what it's like when people text in the ELP Strand Morning Show and they say, I wish you guys would won't play less music. You know that's a compliment. That's not a complaint. And I think what Cheryl is saying is she likes who we are and doesn't want us to change now, So that's a that's a great email. And I appreciate. Now. On one last thing before we

start wrapping up, um, the Elvis Duran group. Somebody sent me a tweet, right, and they said, look, somebody got the answer wrong because they asked a question to prove that you're a fan to get into the Elvis Duran UH fan page. What was the question? What was It doesn't matter. I don't want to I don't want to delve into it. The point was I found the response the answer was slightly hurtful to me. Now, other people might not find it hurtful. Whatever. I said, Hey, I'm

not really a fan of that. I'm not really sure why you're showing this to me. It's like if somebody spray painted you're an asshole in the bathroom, and you go, hey, come look at the bathroom. Somebody spray painted you're an asshole in the bathroom. Right. So I was like, you know what, I get where you're coming from, but I might take it the wrong way, not really show why you showed it to me. You know, that's not really

my thing. So somebody tweeted me and said, while we were really excited to see your your response to this kind of disappointing. Like I let him down or hard down that I didn't go ha, So I said, well, you know what, I gotta be honest, I sort of took it the wrong way. I didn't really like the my name being used in that context. It's just me just that that kind of sat would be the wrong way. And there's more to the story than they know, but they don't have to know why I was bothered by.

And I was like, you know what, not a fan. So then I got people going. So then next person writes back and goes, oh, it's lighting up. Stop being a snowflake. Hit the jingle right now? Had they just said hit the jingle? And I'm like, oh, they're being funny, but they were like lighting up right, And then like be like, listen to your own medicine, right, I normally do. But even if you make fun of snowflakes, you can still be bothered by something that maybe someone else thought

was funny. And you go, you know, I don't really I don't find that funny. And I'm on sure as to why you think I would think that was funny, right, So that's fine with it, But then like more people like, I don't understand what you like. So I told anybody, let's move on with it. I love you guys, but that particularly thing I kind of was like, yeah, not really a great thing, right you want to you want to say to me, Hey, somebody confused you with uh,

with uh George Clooney. I go, all right, George cloone is great, right, confuse me with someone that's attractive and famous and talented. I'm using as an analogy. Anyway, that's out of the way. I mentioned I had a problem with soda, and it is the last thing I want to mention in this episode. It's a quickie. When I was flying down to Puerto Rico on Delta Airlines, Okay, when you fly in international flight, sometimes the food products

come from America, and I know Puerto Rico's America. I'm not saying it's a commonwealth of the understand stand that, but it's a commonwealth. And sometimes times in the Caribbean or other countries, even though porticoes on another country, the tastes are different. You like things that are different, right, because they're made with different ingredients. That's correct, Like in Mexico Mexican coke. You're gonna ruin my story, man, all right, keep going, Okay, so I asked, the guy has done

this on a previous episode. So I asked him for a diet coke, and I get a coke light. I asked for sprite zero. They didn't have it. They go, I, could you have diet coke, not pepsi with So he says, yes, we do, and he hands me a can with a napkin around it because I didn't want the cup of ice. And I get the can and he and he rolls down the aisle and uh, it's a coke light. Now, coke light is not the same thing. It's made with saccarin,

not neutral sweet, and it tastes or aspertainke. It tastes more like a tab or an old school like a real coke, but not that great because right, I don't like coke light. I don't like pepsi light. When I go to Europe, I can't stand it. Okay, So on the way back, I'm like, ah, I'm gonna be smart with this one. So on the way back now, flying from Puerto Rico back to New York, New Jersey, I said,

can I get a diet coke? Yes? I said no, I said, is it a coke light or a diet coke and the guy gets an attitude with me, goes, it's diet coke. I said it was diet coke, so I said, okay. But on the way down to Puerto Rico asked for die coke and I got a coke light, so it's a fair question. It is a fair question. But he didn't know that you got a coke light on the way down. But he's never been on a flight when a head coke light. Every other way they restarted the plane and they put coke light on. No,

he gave me that funk face. He gave me fu face, like you idiot. I know the difference in the coke and die coke and a coke light. You ask whole Did I say it was a diet coke or coke light? I said it was a diet coke. You were anticipating a problem based on experience from three days earlier, So train your staff better. Delta Airlines that if someone asked for a diet coke, you should say is coke light okay? Because it's not the same drink. Don't try to bait

and switch me. And don't I know that there are Puerto Ricans flying back to Puerto rico. But have both on the plane, right, don't have one or the other. That's like having coke and PEPSI. No, it's not because those are different companies. But fuck, it's the same company. It's just like having sprite and coke. It's two different flavors. You're half and half on it, but don't it's diet code, dude. The plane can't carry all that stuff. Half and half

is the same way plane you're talking about. It doesn't wait more. You tell me Saccarin Wiste more than Asperta. You can't have both brands. It's not a brand, it's a flavor. Isn't a store? Is the brand on a goddamn plane. Have you ever seen the fucking size of those little carts? How the fund are they gonna accommodate a coke line to diet coke. It's one or the other. If you have half and half, and to say about

of space, asshole, you're wrong, You're wrong. Fuck you. You get one flavor, you get a coke, you get a diet you know, gette with fro the South. I would have just ordered a cooke. You would have given me anything. It would have been getting an orange. You're not getting a grapey, getting fucking ginger rail, a seltzer water, a coke and getting an apple juice and a milk. Okay, cart is small, it's spin. But if I ordered arnge soda, I don't want a grape sola. Oh my god, you're

such a douche. You don't you expect a fucking flight to carry both. I just want honesty. And you know what, some places of coke zero and diet coke because they're not the same thing. I get that, that was my problem in the restaurant. But I want to diet coke, and that way to a coke Zero's not a grocery store. You get it. You want to press, give me honesty. Just want they want to fill you. You either want the product with the sugar or you want the product

with the chemical. Order a chicken sandwich and they give me pigeon. I'm gonna be pissed, so would you. They gave me the pigeon of soda. Coke is the pigeon of soda. It's terrible. You want you want diet, and you want a diet. Here's your diet. I want to diet coke. Don't give me coke light don't piss in my boots and tell me it's raining. Most people will order the diet version of a drink because they don't want to shut The name is diet coke. I get. That's a name of a problem. There's only one slot

for a diet situation. You can put one behind the other and alternate them, or just be honest with me. You're caught up in the size of the plane. I'm saying if I order a diet coke and you only have coke lines, just say to me, getting your off topic, I'm not talking about the size. I'm saying, if I order a diet coke, say to me, sir, is it okay? If you have a diet coke light, is it okay? And I would have said no, I don't want to

coke light, just okay, But you were suggesting. I said, maybe they should have both, because if you're Puerto Rican Puerto Rico native, you might with that part, because you really don't need both on the flight. It's one of the other. They clearly have both when they stuck up in New Jersey to put in diet coke on the plane. Are you telling me that they used every last diet coke. When they landed in Puerto Rico, they were out completely of diet coke, right, there was zero, not coke zero,

coke zero, and they had to get coke. Like by that logic, maybe they should order that. They should have vanilla coke on the plane and cherry coke on those alternate flavors. I just want you to tell me I don't want my asking for both. I'm saying they could have both, keep them in the same slot, alternate. But if you don't not both, just be honest, That's all I'm saying. Be honest. Is is coke light? Okay? Because they don't know there's a difference. Maybe that's the problem. Okay.

And if they would have said to you, is coke light okay? What would you have said? No? What would you have ordered in its place? Or tomato juice or saw anything. I just don't like coke light. So I sat there with the can. And because it's a can, you have to keep the trade down because you can't put it in the little pot it behind the seat, right, So I had to drink a third of it. Someone's gonna slowly. I had to drink that. I'll just get louder I had to drink a third of it so

it wouldn't spill. And you know what, you don't get to take advantage of me. Why because I'm from Brooklyn. Boys from Brookla, Brolan Boys, brock Glass
