#89 Big Packages, Big Sacks & Cream

don't talk about well, I don't talk like that. What did you say? I said, you find me the time in the week where we're going to record a second one, and I'd gladly do it. But truth be told, Tomorrow I'm leaving for Miami, and then on Sunday, I'm leaving for a cruise from Miami. Were you going on vacation. I'm power washing my pool deck, power washing my regular deck. I don't like hearing that that's not vacation, bro. No, I'm going on a cruise, but not during June. No,

not during June. We have two weeks off and all this is leaving for two weeks. He said, everybody enjoy until ly enjoy your time, get away ninth when we come back on the tenth. But who's counting me? He sells, but who's buying? Who sings that? You know? No Megadeth. I say that because David Mustay in the lead singer of Megadeth, announced he has wrote cancer. This week everyone was Everyone was posting their pictures of them with David Mustain from Megadeth, like you do when a celebrity dies.

I would absolutely done it right. I have a picture with Dave Mustang, but I did not post it just because he has throwed cancer. What a waste. Gandhi has a picture with big Poppy David Ortiz and she didn't post it. But he lived either way, he was in the news. Did that partly gonna have to die for you to post a picture? It does because he's like, oh, look I got a picture of the guy got shot. That doesn't it's not a thing. Yes, they can you become.

If Dave Mustaine dies, I'll post my picture with him to be like, look, I knew that I met the guy who was a nice guy whatever interview, like I did when Chester Bennington pass Yeah, I'm torn on that because because it's a tribute. Elvis yells at you because you're making it about you. I'm not, no, no, you. Every everybody in radio when someone dies, a celebrity dies, they all posted pictures with that celebrity, and part of me is like, wow, I got to meet him. He

was a great guy. And part of me knows that we all do it because like, no, because it's it's relevant. Just like a couple of weeks ago when rocket Man came out, I reposted my picture with Elton just did. He doesn't have to die and she just has to be relevant. He always relevant, Elton John it has to be in the news, pop culture. Yeah, you know what. There was one recent one that was really part I forget who it was and I had a picture with HM and I didn't bother why I just didn't do it.

I just didn't and that Dave Mustaine when I didn't, but I saw my friends are posting their pictures with Dave Mustaine, how could you not? Yeah? You know what? Uh. Dave Mustain is is an interesting character. He's and he says by the way that he it's very treatable, so very treatable. I do wish him the best. But if he dies, I gotta picture of him. I just don't know if I would post it. Is that wrong? You can tweet? Si? No, no, no, it's not. It's it's

not wrong. It's I think that there needs to be something to post other than your food, or your kids or a pet. I'll tell you what I do, and I know I'm not the only person who does this when people die. The second that someone's death is announced, you can try this, You'll never do it. What's that rush to their Wikipedia page to change it to their dead? Someone will always beat you to it. I don't touch

the wicky. Oh is this a contest? Well? Yeah, so you mean to tell me when someone the celebrity dies, you get into nerdy brody mode where you have to I just want to correct it all time. No, no no, no, no no. I want to see if I can get there before somebody changes it. Is it an honor to be the person? No, I don't want to change it necessarily.

I just want to see if there first. When someone dies, somebody somebody always runs to the wiki page immediately and changes it to like two thousand nineteen is the death and the date and used to be and dead and died on quickly after you found out some news of a celebrity death. Did you get over to that page and find all right? And someone beat you to it? Already beat me to it always you've never been first. No, it's a contest for you. It's a thing. It's a contest.

It's it's morbid. It's gallows humor, so to speak. But it's, uh, what's gallows? It's like making jokes about death at the gallows. You make humor when you're about to get hung. Hanged, sorry, hanged, hanged. It is hanged by the way the person is an object can be hung like like you be hung like a bear, but or horse. But you're hanged is the intensive getting hung. I'm not feeling it today, really, I'm

feeling it. Yeah. Yeah. Although I had a rant that needed a picture, and I accidentally deleted the picture, so I can't put the picture ups. I have to save that to save a rant because I want to put the picture ups. You can put how are you gonna hold it in? Oh? I got enough friends, I got enough rance. I had stuff popping up on me this week, left and right. I gotta rant that so long we don't have time for it today. We haven't started. That's how to get it going right now, let's go. I

have to catch my breath. I have to eat some vitamins. This one's I have some good ones. No, no, I have some things. I have some things. Um, I have some song parodies for today. Well, I have a clip of a man who's running for president who maybe wants to rethink his campaign based on the fact that he made a terrible mistake. Do you want to hear that

soon and get to that. We also are stalling right now because I'm stalling because I'm trying to get this exciting news that we've been waiting for since the podcast started. But it looks like that by the time you hear this podcast, Well do I do? I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot by saying it. Now, maybe put my my I think I wait for the official No, I'm

gonna put my foot in my mouth. Hey, look, it might not be, but by the time you hear this, I think we will have taken ownership of at the Brooklyn Boys on Twitter to match our Instagram at the Brooklyn Boys and our Facebook fan page at the Brooklyn Boys. Right now, we're at broken boys, WTF. But I've been looking down. I've been very if you notice, I've been looking up and down, up and down, looking at my phone to see if we got the official word yet

hasn't happened yet. Speaking of social media, which always reminds me of followers and listenership and viewership, I'm I'm throwing out, well, I'm not. It's not a challenge because I want a bitch about how when people challenge me, I drives me crazy. I'm just gonna say this scary. And I were able to see how many people listen, how many listens there are per episode of our podcast, all of our podcast, Walkers and Talkers, fifty minute morning show, all the time.

Are we doing in the grand scheme of that? Okay, we're doing very well, but we're consistently around the same couple of hundred, so the thousands are the same. They fluctuate by a few hundreds, so there's we're not getting a pop. And then there are people like I listened for the third time, which I was why this very few of those today? I feel like, starting episode zero for the fourth time, How do you listen to this once, let alone four times? I have to say I listened

to my mom over the weekend. By the way, my mom is, we'll get her on, but she's not available this week. Um. I listened with my mom to episode eighty seven sound. I have to say, when you listen back, you don't realize what you said. And we said some funny ship like stuff flew by, like I said, stuff like boom boomba boom. You said some stuff bomba boom like it goes by so quickly. We're just like ping

pong and here. But when you go back and listen to it, you're like, wow, that was really funny, like it was the episode. I'm just victory on ourselves right now. No, because my point was a lot of times people will reference old episodes and I don't remember everything we said. So when you go back and listen, you you were like, you know, you don't remember. For instance, we got it. We got a tweet today, I believe. Let me. I have have all the screenshots on my phone from Horatio

Underscore web underscore a dev. I'm assuming he's a web developer at all of us listening again from the beginning and heard one of my favorite rants, I can't take the box. It's um it's FedEx, it's the ups rant. I'm trying not to laugh while commuting to work on the train. We'll never stop laughing, that's first of all. Um, But you know that's a that's a long time ago. That was episode twenty four, I think, and uh, you know,

so that's like a year and a half ago. But you go back, you go, wow, I have I may have to listen to that one. Okay, So there's a secret just ID fan page for the slices that we're not a part of. We've talked about this. Yeah, I'm just reiterating from people that might be listening now and don't listen in order? Whoa again? How dare you? This is your first episode? That's fine. My point was, by the way, before I deralled myself, you got slices. We need you to continue to spread the word. I would

like to change the thousands number in our listenership. Well, we ain't gonna get it by having podcasts like this one the way, it's we got some good I don't hold on a second kidding around, but no listen in order? Okay for everybody else, yea drake start it boys start end up from zero? Nwya him start end up from zero. Now the whole shells crystal glass, start end up from zero. Nwya him start end up from zero? People, there is so much crap you want to hand thought us from zero.

It's our rule. You musted hair stu from zero. Let's be claim thought of stuff from zero. Walk Get the funk out of here. By the way, that is Drake started from the bottom. Now. Somebody was texting in the other day and they asked us, you know, I heard this version of your listening order song listen order you need to boom and it sounds like I know it's a song from the nineties, but what is he? And

that is originally daughter by Pearl Janno. That was his version of Eddie Vetter there that song is uh So anyway, we do have a secret society fan book Facebook fan fan page which we don't participate in. But Desirie Daddy O or Desiree Dido also known as Desiree Noel unless you got two different names here. She said, Hey, here's a survey of your slices. It was close startup, startup. This is an official This is an unofficial poll from your slices secret Facebook page. We that we came up

with for future episodes. There's not not much love for the Jersey Kid on here have a great episode and a great day. Yeah few agnes fee. So the poll was this brody and we are not privy to the post, privy to the process, the process by which parties because we don't. We're not part of that page. What's up? Everyone? Who would you like to hear next as a featured

guest on the podcast? And then someone by the name of Vincent Wagner writes, anyone above except the Jersey Kid, the fat Jew We had him monitor any Vic Deep Deepoteto. We're getting a lot of requests to him. Michael Rappaport again, Yeah, I can see that someone we voted for the Jersey Kid. Someone voted for submitted by Greg t uh Joe Gatto. We got him on again. Abe seventy seven, please, says Jonathan Wilson. Daniel Tosh. All right, Lauren Burger would like

Spruce to be on the podcast. We have gotten a lot of requests with Spruce. People are asking when he's gonna be on again. I told Spruce yesterday, funny cat, I said, Spruce. People are begging for you to come back. He's like, you just said, necuds with my friend, and I showed him all the tweets and the Instagram d m s and Krista Stephano that's by Marissa Fontana. Chris gave me his phone number and said call him anytime.

So while I'm gonna call him when we come back from break so and uh Sebastia Mattascalco from Jamie Lynn had him and Jennifer Stilato. Adrian writes, no guests please. Okay, so we've gotten we get, we get weird, well not weird, we get differing opinions on the guests. So some people say, oh, love it when Spruce drops in, love it when you bring in the interns, love it when you bring another podcast, other show members, Melvin Strand the Morning Show. And some

people say, I tune in for you two guys. I don't want to hearnybody else, and so well that's that's all. That's fine at all. But you know, we do have a lot of you know, the difference of opinion is great because you know what he's gonna say, you know what I'm gonna say. But it's nice to get outside feedback some right, So somebody I'm not going to read their name because I thought it was a little It was very direct, let's just say that. And they said, um,

I just want to hear you two guys. I don't need other people coming in, uh, interns coming in and plug their podcast. So a couple of things. First of all, if you're referring to twenty something is doing nothing, they're not interns. Jake is a producer on our show for three or four years now. He does all the video for our show. And Ricky works in our building in our prep division. She writes news articles and entertainment stories for one of our services. And she just got a job.

You know, she's leaving. She want a Zack sang in The Gang, which is not our company, but it's a syndicated show out of l A that's on it at night. So they're not interns. But if I and I pointed out to this person, we had them in last episode, right. I had them in specifically to talk about the free shirt at our postal that my daughter got. I wanted their their opinion because they are at the age where

they shop at our postal regularly. Plus they are still at the point where they might go shopping with their parents and might get a free or or a shirt purchase for them. I'm scary, I'm not gonna have the same opinion as they are. I wanted more opinions on the conversation. If I have a hey, scared, what do you think? He says, this is what I think, and the conversation is over. We needed four people to throw

it around and debate whatever. So we occasionally drag people in, but that you may not realize that as it's happening. But we don't do it just to like, oh, let's bring strange, right, So we do try to keep it as much as us as possible, but there are times when you just need to have someone in who's an expert or has a different angle on what you need. Right. Okay, so now we we did get a lot of complaints about the Jersey Kid Is that song ready yet? No?

It's coming soon though, because the person I wanted to sing it is away for the week, and so when we come back we'll have it, because you know, we will have a Jersey Kids song, but not like an intro song. Yes it's not an I want the I bump up up the audience. Who's now thinking, Oh great, the guy's getting intro song. Oh no, no, I'll contra that is not what he's getting. Um, we do have a lot of audio to play. I've got unused jokes today.

Um well, let's start with some of that audio. Real quick, do grammar police, let's do Okay, let's do the audio. So if you go to the clips Brooklyn Boys clips, we'll see a bunch of pink clips and some green clips and a blue clip. I think, right, okay, so the is it the green clips? This is a clip of Governor j Insley. Governor j is the governor of Washington State. He's one of the twenty four people running

for president on the Democratic Party. And if you know anything about being president or running for president, the first state, the first primary state, or the caucus state that all the candidates have to go through, right is Iowa. Iowa, because they go first is one of the most important states in the country when it comes to presidential elections. So you better kiss up to Des Moines, which is the capital. You better kiss up to the state goal

over the all over the state of Iowa. Make sure that the people of Iowa know you love them, you know, and go to all the towns, you go to, little little meetings, you go to the caucuses, thee all the love, you go to the Iowa State Fair. You had better kissed the ass of Iowa. Jay Insley is sort of polling really low right now and needs all the help he can get. So he was talking about his visit

to the capital of Iowa. Play I'll play the isolated clip along, So he said, listen again, the isolated clip. You know I was in. Now it's m O I N E S. But it's pronounced de Moines. It's not des Moines, it's de Moines. Right, you guys can go. You know I was in the play the whole clip against so people don't think I edited that. I was in the moris the other day at at a community college talking to a young man named Dave. Yeah, he was talking today. Could you okay, you want me to look?

The last thing this country needs is is it a literate president? Alright, I'm sorry, but but we don't need another. Yeah, so, Governor Insley, that's right, Governor Insley, I think you need to work on the capital des Moines. I can't believe you did that. That how to be just okay? He has to know that it's the second state you go to is New Hampshire. I hope he pronounces it and not Hampshire. Yeah, okay, what else we got there? We have cocker spaniel no on the right, the green Oh,

we have no Danielle? Yeah, get me, the Grammar Police jingle, Oh Jesus, and the Grammar Police jingle you got a ready? Yeah? Okay, she didn't. She did a big show. She didn't. Grammer Police want to father this under. Some people just don't listen to this podcast about They don't listen, they don't learn, and they make the same mistakes over and over again.

It's embarrassing. Scare You're a great plant. Take the producer Cr Dan Yell and I in some candid moment, and if assuming really close, you see producer Sam in the way background doing something and then everyone's talking about that. I'm sorry, who did Jake take? Catch? Take the producer Cu Dan Yell? And I really did did Jake? The producer catch? I? Danielle? And who and me? Thank you? All right? Grammar Police. By the way, Gandhi made that

same mistake. She did, yes, but she does do the eye and said of me a lot and I gotta tell you. You can tell me over half the people listening to this podcast right now, how many don't make it any more thanks to this podcast? A lot of them. No, we see it all the time when people submit grammar police errors. Okay, that's what I wanted to have. You're submitting you are you are, you are guilty. But that is irony, that is definitely and that is the pot

calling to kettle black. Right, so three people. I wrote it on my sheet there gramm er police g R A m M e R No, it's a RB. Careful, that's awful. I got, I got. I got a letter from my my kids high school. Okay, And in the letter it said v I s a versa vice versa, vice versa. Right, it's vice v C vice versa. You're a school. It's the visa. Oh and I had to call you connect again people that make the radio in

my car because it's sucking up again. Should The woman says to me, um, oh great, what your car do you have? And I tell us you as all right, I'm going to need your VIN number, my vin your Vin number, my Vin, Yes, you're VIN number. I hung up on her. I hung up. I couldn't talk to the Grande every nine to hear the same ship. They are on a Grande a T M machine song, Oh my God, seven rings. Now. Lastly on the phone TAPU the was it the way back Wednesday? Phone tapes? Okay,

so today staresday was yesterday yesterday's phone tap. At the end of the phone tap, I tell the guy you've been phone tapped by your wife and me, because without the wife would be a phone tap by me. Let somebody tried to correct you, which was to show that half the people no, no, no, no, no, but his thing they're a Brooklyn Boys slice. The person texted in Brody Grammar police, it should be my wife and you have been phone tapped by your wife and I Grammar

police slice for life. So I wrote back, I know who they are because they apologized to me on Twitter. They said tried to get you failed, So I wrote back, rule number one when correcting someone, be correct, be right. Second of all, it is absolutely you've been found tapp by your wife and me. Absolutely. I mean have faith in me. People Gandhi tried to correct me today in

what way? Well, we're talking about tomorrow being the summer solstice, all tomorrow's when it comes to the summer solstice and the vernal equinox, there's there the you are the king of this and the bouncing of the egg like this is your thing every year. I learned this from you. So so Gandhi said, oh to Mars the equinox, and Elvis says, oh, maybe we should get an egg in here and try and balance it, because during the equinox

there are two equinoxes. Could you look that up, like the vernal equinox, and what's the other one, the vernal Did I say vernal? It's vernal vernal equinox. Yes, And what's the other one? What's the other equal day? It's uh, it's Thursday, Mary, the equinox in spring on about March in the northern hemisphere and September twenty two in the southern hemisphere. Those okay, those are your two equinoxes. Okay, now that's the day that on March twenty the vernal equinox.

You could take an egg, a regular egg, not even hard boiled, and you it will the egg will stand up when you put when you it'll stand up. If you balance it properly, it won't roll over on its side. That is that is true? Okay, so hold on again. Watch the explanation is and says. The March equinox or northern equinox is the equinox the Earth when the subsolar point appears to leave the southern hemisphere and cross the

celestial equator heading northward as seen from Earth. Yes, the March equinox is known as the vernal equinox the northern hemisphere or as the autumnal in This in theutumnal equinox and the vernal equinox, right, those are both in March. No, this September one, then this September one, whatever it is. They're six months apart from March twenty autumnal, septemb September.

Right there you go, autumnal autumn. Great. Now, Elvis is like, let's bring in some eggs and then yet and then Gandhi's like, yeah, it's for the equinox, and I'm like no, no, no no, no, no, no. Tomorrow is the summer solstice. There's the summer solstice and the winter solstice, okay, And here where we live in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice is also known as the longest day of the year, but it's not an equinox and has nothing to do

with balancing an egg that's in March. Those are your equinoxes. So you got your equinoxes and you got your solstices. Now here's another curve ball that's gonna blow your mind, Brody. On the summer solstice, the longest day of the year here in June, which is tomorrow, is also the day that the Sun is furthest away from the Earth in its orbit, furthest away. Now, one would think that it's the closest to the Earth because of the because it's hot in the summer, but in the wintertime the sun

is closest to the earth. Do you know why that is? You know why why it's colder in the winter when the sun is closest to the earth, And why the Sun is furthest from the Earth in June when it's hot because of the angle at which the heat the Sun hits the Earth. So the angle is more to wrecked when in the in the summer, okay, and it's more indirect or when it's further. Now I'm going to read to you the explanation behind the bouncing of the egg.

It is believed. It is believed that during the equinox and egg can be balanced on end um every year during the equinoxes question arises, Yes, with a little patients, you can balance an egg on end during the equinox. What will happen if you try to balance the egg on watch one April October two? The egg will balance the same on any day as it does on the vernal or autumnal equinox equinox, So that part it helps if you try it on a rough surface or choose

an egg with a bumpy end for better balance. The myth comes from an assumption that during the equinox a special gravitational balance exists. The equinox is about balanced light, not balanced eggs or special gravity. So I was taught wrong. Oh my god, Brody. We used to do this in school every year us. But it balances the same every day. They just had you bounced it that day. Holy sh it. It's like a card trick. You didn't have Google back in the day. No, But you know what, though, I

was taught wrong in Brooklyn, not in my school. I wasn't taught that. You were taught that. We used to do it every year. They used to bring in an egg on the on the vernal equinox. So we learned something here, yeah, bounce any day? Yeah, well will then why the hell of schools doing this once again? You're a school get it right? Yeah, vicevers. We you know what, I could just imagine the litany of things that we've been taught over our time that we're wrong. Well, it

was done under during school time, under school roofs. Yeah, can you imagine it? Well, I don't remember the word. I think the word was unfortunately. I think it was unfortunately. I think I told the story somewhere gone in for her teacher conference my daughter's school I think she was in third or fourth grade at the time, it's a while ago, and they had an easel and on the easel and green magic marker it said the word of

the day right. And I want to say, I'm gonna pull up the words so I can make sure that I remember how it was spelled wrong okay, hold on m okay. So the word of the day was unfortunately right okay, And it was written today's day is unfortunately. Write it down fifty times in your notebook tonight and bring it in. That's your assignment. Write the word fifty times. Unfortunately, right, unfortunately,

unfortunately the word was not spelled right on the board. Uh, they spelled it unfortunately, And I he E l y who does that? And so the green magic marker was sitting there. So while the eacher was talking finishing up with the last parent before us, I see it and I looked to my wife. I got, I said, she goes solid sending. So I said, it's to her homework assignment and it's gonna be ingreened in these kids brains. So I said, um, let me take the marker. It's

right turn. I'll fix it. Just don't know it was you. You can't fix it? I go, How can I not say it? I mean, this is what did you do? I sweated bullets. I got out of there. I had to leave the room. You didn't correct it. No, you didn't call to her attention. My wife gave him to the elbow. And it is your civic duty, David Brody. No, I'm so ashamed of you. I know, I know I would have said something funk that. No, I didn't. I

couldn't do it. I was told not to. Why Because I was told not to by the boss, who's the boss, your wife is sometimes you have Tony Dance is the boss? Okay, who's the boss? Buck in a minute? All right? So you know you know something baby shark? Everybody hates it? Did you find it? You have it? Play just like a few seconds of it? Have Yeah, there's a reason, baby shar So I started thinking about it's summertime, by

the way, could you all right? And so away? Um, there's there's been a lot of new stories, and I'm not making fun of tragedy. I'm only making fun of this song, and that's it, not making fun any real things that have happened. But this is my take. This is my summer version of that song. It's called mom I'm doing in the ocean. Okay, be careful, Jenny. Where sharks do do b? Where sharks do do b? Where sharks where sharks ary? Why shark do? Great white? I'll

say that's crazy. Now, could you write another version for if you go out to eat and you had too much and you have indigestion, you have your stomach ache, Baby short, I could do that? Do baby short sound effect? Baby shark? Do do do Do do do do do? It's right there for you. You doing dodd no but there was anybody. There's been a lot of shark in the news lately, and that's why I did that. But everyone can relate to sharks. They could. I have another parody

you want to play now, plaint later. It's the Game of Thrones one that I promised a few weeks ago. Here it is. But here's the thing. The names go by fast. If you remember the song we didn't start to find my jos in here, No no, because I had written this before the finale aired, So it's really just a list of names and people and things from

You can try and ride them, but don't try and fine him breath, try and bread and fire it the nearest come man so she can rid. I'm sorry. Many understand you and this freaking show. They understand her when she speaks high Valerian. Come on, dude, I'm not a Game of Thrones guy and never I haven't watched an episode and I wrote that song. I did a lot of research.

That's awesome that I just I know. I promise that. As as people have been backing me up on Twitter, it's too dark. I don't like dark ship people backing you up doesn't make you right a wrong. You don't stuff I don't like. You don't like any stuff. You don't watch television I do. What's the last show you watched every week? Not Benji every week? Yeah, like you, I love that show. I watched all the time. It

I watched The Walking Dead live every Sunday.

It's been a bad way there, shooting the bed, man shifting the bed all right, said, cross that off? Crossed off? Cross it off? Uh? What else I want to talk about? Oh? I had a problem with a neighbor. Did you have something I did? But you go first, you go first, insist? Okay, I

got human man about what? All right? So I have a two car garage, two car driveway, okay, And you have a couple of options when they when the driveway starts to crack. You can put patch fill in, right, which is like little pebbles like you see on the parkway, and then you take a big stomper and you stomp them down and you flatten them out, and then it draws and it's it's you hope it's the same level as the whole. You're patching a hole or a crack.

And then you have crack fill, which is liquid. You pour it in the cracks higher than the crack and it fills the cracks and then if you want, you can you can recover it with like a like a liquid uh parmac and you like you put down your own driveway if it was smooth to begin with. But once you've patched it and filled it in his cracks, if you cover it with a you know, recover it, the cracks and everything are just gonna come through again. Right.

And so to redo my driveway, shout out to anyone who wants to do my driveway with like dirt cheap uh the real way. Um, it's it's like it's thousands of dollars to redo the driveway. So every spring I buy a pack of sack create or whatever the ship is at home depot create not and it's it's a bag of little black pebbles with tar on them basically, and you pour it out like lava. Sack creates sounds like a leaky tick sick. Create your sack and I and I have this big stomper. It's got a flat

metal thing. You bash it down right. Okay. So over the winter sometimes the cold and the snow and the ice will eat away at what you put down the previous spring. Because even if you seal it, it's still gonna come up. Some of it stays and some of it doesn't. So the edge of my driveway every spring kind of looks like ship because it all kind of wore away. When your car comes up and off the driveway, it it kind of like tractions. It spins and kicks

it off. This is why I don't own property. So had I just spent the three fourth whatever, the I don't have it, so I don't have to spend. But if I spent it, i'd be done for like a good eight ten years. So my driveway hasn't been done in twenty years. And I patch it well, you know, I had the risk surgery and the elbow surgery, and so last year I didn't really keep up on as much as I could have. And now we're in June and I haven't really done the March April patching yet.

So like now you all have these neighbors that right, but everyone has these neighbors that I want to drop little hints like maybe you should like clean your you know, mow your lawn or they dropped Okay, so I come home last week, I want to say it was mind their own business, okay. So I come home Saturday, Friday or Saturday it's Friday, have to work. So almost a week ago, and on my sidewalk, not on my sidewalk, I have like a concrete path to my front door is a brand new stomper and a bag of the

patch for my driveway. So I texted my wife and I go to do you order anything for me for the spring? Did you I have a stomper? No, I don't order anything. So there's no it's there's no box, there's no nothing, there's just sitting there. So then it occurs to me one of my fucking neighbors it is so upset with the look of my my house that they're dropping me a hint. And they spent thirty on the stomper and the bag as if to say, hey,

fix your fucking driveway. Here's a fucking hint. So I live on a call to sack, I know you hate those. And there's a house across from me and two houses to my left. Yeah, called a sack and sack crete. So there's only two houses the neighbor across the street that would see my driveway walking by. I'm like trying to figure out which these three pricks, right, but two of them have shitty driveways like mine, So you know that they don't give a ship. They're not looking at there.

So then the people across the street, who I like, I'm like, what if they did that? Now they're being nice like, hey, hooked up, I got you a thing, or they're being like, is a hint, a little anonymous tip. So I'm staring at it. I take it right, and I put it in the street, like on the curb, like in the street, right by the curb, not in the middle. And I'm like, fund this. I don't watch your gift. Fuck you. So I see my neighbors from across the street come out, so I walk outside like

do do do do? Do do do? They don't say anything. They see the stuff in the street, they don't not like it's a thing. It's like, how's it going, Hey, how you doing nothing? No guilt, nothing. They're not looking at me. They're not like, hey, just see thing or nothing like it's killing me now, who dropped this ship off? I can't figure it out. I'm human. I'm like, who the I told my wife, I go we're gonna move.

We're moving. I'm out of here. This is why I tell the story just well, maybe someone's trying to be helpful. They're not trying to be helpful. They're insulting me as a homeowner. They're insulting my property, and they're insulting my bank account. I don't like it. This is not a gift. This isn't nice. I called my friend, my buddy lives in town over. I go, did you uh no, No, because I had mentioned him I was gonna be doing my job and do it, so you didn't see this

as a favor. So this is because right now, at first I'm thinking, how nice they're helping him along. So I have this whole thing in my head, this whole scenario, who did it, why they did it, What I'm gonna say when I figure out who it is, how mad I'm gonna be. And then I'm like, should I be mad or should I be appreciative? Nope, I'm mad because that's who I am. Okay, that's this is around what time I get on Friday, like one o'clock found six o'clock.

Nobody is home in my house but me. Nobody, Like my kids are all over the place, my wife is working. Whatever this guy knocks on my door. Have big guy. Never saw him before, okay, never saw him before. Wide like a like a like like the rock, but not in the good shape, just wide, big muscular guy like you could be a football player. I said, can I help you? He says, uh, I got a text on my phone. He's said. Now, don't try to guess ahead. He goes, I got a text on my phone that

my packages would deliver to your house. I said, what kind of packages? Two black boxes about this big. He holds his hands out there, about a foot and a half like shoe boxes, maybe a little bigger. So I said, I didn't get your packages. I didn't get your packages. I don't have any packages. And and now he he takes his big bass body and he walks. Now, my screen door is open enough that I could talk to him face to face. He walks forward now into my

screen door opening and looks into my house. I said, excuse me, can I help you? He says, yeah, I live at number number five And it says it was delivered to your house whatever my house number is. And I said, I don't have it. So he looks in my house. I said, dude, I don't know who you are, but First of all, if I had your packages and I lied to you, I wouldn't have them right here by the door, right, I wouldn't leave them here. Second of all, I don't need your packages. I don't have them,

he says. It says they would delivered here, and they were signed for, signed for nobody's home, but me, nobody's put home all day. I don't have two black boxes. Look, hey, I open it's off. I said, Now, could you back up and give me my space? Because you're kind of like clamping me here. He's like, why man mouth off to a guy that wide? Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I could have sat on you. I don't know, I know. So then I go in a light bulb goes off, and I say, what size with the boxes? He goes

about this big, like eighteen inches? Maybe like that? Like all right, I said, because it's we weird. I got a bag of concrete patch and a stomper that showed up today and I don't know who's they are. Did you put those there? No? I go, well, those wouldn't to fit in a box, so I guess that's not yours. No, I'm looking for two boxes stuff I ordered. Okay, so that's a coincidence, right, So I go, well, that's weird. You're looking for two black boxes and I got two

big items on my driveway. This is a crazy day. So I'm like, are you sure you didn't put that on my driveway like I thought? Maybe, He's like, wants to make sure I got him. I don't know, So I got no, I don't have him. He's all right, and he gives me a look like he doesn't believe me. So he walks down my steps and rather than walking on the path down the driveway make it right, he walks right across my lawn. So fuck you, fat guy. Don't walk across the Porson's lawn, especially when I'm staring

at you. Then he turns back at me to see if I'm looking. I can see if maybe like I'm like, I feel guilty. I got his two black boxes. So I go back in the house and I'm filming again. This is my Friday. My family comes home. I want to stay around sixty. So I'm in the living room. We have a big picture window faces the front of the house, and I'm telling this story. This fat guy tells me we have his black boxes. I go, did you get any black boxes before you left for work. No,

this guy's looking for black boxes. They're fifteen by eighteen like this big. I don't have any black boxes. I don't even who ships black boxes. I don't know he's talking about. So then my daughter looks out the window and goes, is that the guy? Yeah, he's back in front of my house. Oh my god. But he's doing the look around. He's looking left, looking right like he's sneaky dude. So I'm like, what the fuck? So I'm

watching him from the window. He picks up the stomper and the patch for the driveway, throws it over his shoulder and starts walking off with it. So I walked outside. I go, excuse me, Yeah, what are you doing? This is the stuff I ordered? Are you fucking teddy? Babe? I asked you if the stuff was yours. You sat down, you said it's in a black box. You sit two black boxes. The stopper is five ft high. It doesn't fit in a box. More importantly, don't you know what

the funk you ordered? Yeah? Wouldn't you remember ordering a stopper and patch for your driveway? Not only are you an asshole, you made me spend the whole afternoon mad in my neighbors, and you walked across my fucking lawn. You fat fuck, get off by law number five. Fat fuck. You ordered the patch and the stopper and you don't remember. And I was gonna say, how does he not know what he ordered? What does he think? It's a collapsible

stopper in a box? What don't you say? I ordered a giant fucking bag of drive The driveway patch is twenty pounds, it's a big bag. Well, I haven't a second. It's just dawned upon me. What if this guy lost his packages and he was gonna cut his loss and figured, well, the stomper doesn't belong to this guy. I'm just gonna steal it and sell it on eBay and get my money back for whatever I ordered. I don't know. I thought that you have amnesia, and I thought that was

what he was doing. Except an hour later I drove, I went out to get dinner, and he was stomping his fucking ugly driveway. So he ordered the ship it doesn't remembered it. But how did he know that? Because he probably doesn't alert that your packages have a wrong No, he gots white came to my house. He had the alert to package. But then he but because his wife must have said to him, stupid. We ordered the patch

in the stomper. But he didn't knock on my door and say, hey man, I'm sorry, and that is what he ordered. He just didn't look around. He did so weird, and you led him to it. You led the horse to I start. Maybe those two boxes of yours and the two things. Something still doesn't add up. Something's wrong, I know. Meanwhile, I had this whole scenario in my head, this whole thing figured out. I gave my neighbor's a dirty look and it wasn't them. Now he's the kicker.

I gotta go to home depot now. And by the patch fiveway party was going to keep the patch. I should have just kept the patch. What he said it was his, but I was so angry that someone gave me the patch. Now you have to go buy the patch again. You're your own worst enemy, Brody, my own worst enemy, my own worst I was sitting at the airport. I'm not doing the clap thing anymore. I'm making that official. Okay, I don't do the clap thing. Yes, we're not. I

won't do the clap thing. But my mother says to me, who the hell? Actually? My mother said after the ford, he said, who the funk pays nineties something dollars for

a tie dyed shirt. I said, it's a good point, mom, That's why I love you, all right, It's quality material when we have her on, when we come back from nothing but compliments and follow up to that conversation the way, you still have posted the picture on our Instagram In turn, Robbie, Yeah, the guy who said he wouldn't pay very much for it whatever, he came in yesterday with the same tie

tyed shirt on the same color the head. Obviously, I said, obviously, you thought my shirt was cool that you felt the need to go out and buy one of your own. He said it on the podcast that he bought the same one in Goodwill for like set four dollars away. Well, yeah, he felt the need to wear it to show it. It's not a bad looking, great shirt, fine, not fine, it's awesome, okay, But yeah, he paid a quarter of what I paid for it, maybe less, Okay, I don't care.

So I was at the airport the other day, Yeah, it was with out there and I was tim he was rolling with. She was actually serving me my coffee. I was at an undisclosed That coffee shop sitting at the bar at the airport was not Starbucks or Duncan Donuts. Okay, we'll get that out of the way. But it was a gourmet coffee beanery, not a sponsor, not a sponsor. I said, oh, can I have a coffee, please? Small coffee? He said, I want milk and sugar. And I said, uh,

do you have half and half? She goes, yeah, we got cream, I said. I said, I said no, but is it cream or is it half and half? And she said to me She gave me the stankiest of fucking stink faces and looked at me like I was fucking stupid. She didn't know. She said, we got yeah, we have that. I said, so do you have half and half? Right? Do you have or do you have cream? What does she think the half and half? It took us.

It was like a weird ten second stare off right, and then I'm looking back at her and my face gets just as stinky as her did as hers did, and she said, oh, hey, I'll give I'll get that. I'll give you cream, all right, let's back up a second. Half and half is not cream. No, it's half of something, half of something else. Okay, it's a lot of times it's half cream, half light cream, and half milk. That's what true half and half is. Okay that. Let me

just be clear about that. Sometimes half and half contains chemicals in it and other things. You have to read the ingredients. It results may vary, ingredients may vary, recipes may vary, but half and half in its purest intended form is half cream and half milk. Are you trying to um? Look this up? Bertie? I'm gonna look up the exact definition. Okay. Cream is either heavy cream or

light cream, like whipping cream. Like if you take heavy cream and you put a whisk to it, he poured in a bowl and you start whipping it, whipping it, whipping it with a whisk, that will turn into what we know is whipped cream. Whipped cream. Whipped cream. Heavy cream turns into whip cream if you if you mix it with a with a whisk, enough, okay, so, or

put a two cartridge in it. At Starbust, you used to put those silver canisters in and you put the cartridge and it goes and heavy cream clots and turns into clotted cream or heavy or whipped cream. Let's be completely let's be yep. This bitch sorry, who was giving me stank face at a coffee? A specialist's her job, it's your fucking job. You don't fucking know the difference between milk, cream and half and half. So what does she think the half and half is half heavy half cream.

She thought that the word half and half is all encompassing and it means what cream, half and half all the same thing. But the truth of the matter is if you ask for coffee with cream, you're actually offen asking for coffee with light cream, light cream or heavy cream. Heavy cream? Is what I told you. Half and half is half heavy cream and had half milk. That is what happened. Half light but not not like what milk. I don't want a whole milk. Which one did they have? Well,

that's the point. The truth of the matter is I would have what did they have? They gave me half and half. They gave me she called it cream. See, if it's a coffee shop, they probably have cream, and they probably have they could have mixed them together. I was hoping I was hoping I had the choice half and half or cream. Not the same thing, not the fucking same thing. But beyond all, you don't forget take all this out of the equation. You work. You were hired.

You were employed by this place that specializes in coffee and coffee drinks. They were doing lattees, they were foaming in steam, frothing up milk, they were doing all that there. They had the espresso pods, they had all of it. You know what a cappuccino or a latte cappuccino is if you use cream instead of milk, a cap it's a brevet brevet. Okay, order that at Starbucks next time, order a latte with heavy would be no, no, no, no, no no no. What's an ol Okay? L at the

Italian drink is a latte? Right? That is espresso, not espresso, Espresso with milk. Okay, A cafe ole is French. It's coffee with steamed milk, coffee with steam milks. Americano coffee Americano, no regular American coffee as opposed to expresso. Americano has is hot water. You add hot water too, It's it's got more hot water in it. Okay, I'm just telling you.

An old a is coffee with steam milk. Latte is espresso with steam milk, and a cappuccino is is espresso with when mostly foam and a little bit of milk. And the way they taught us at Starbucks back in the day is latte is a lot of milk. Cappuccino has a cap of foam, cap of foam. And if you get it any other way, you've been misguided and they're wrong. But don't you start giving me stank face because I tried to make a separation of is it half and half or is it cream, because they're not

the same thing. Heavy cream with whole milk is half and half. People, right, So again, just to be specific, on the Americano, it's espressot extra hot water, so it's a little more like coffee, but it still has that smoky, burnt espresso. Regular coffee is regular. Columbian coffee beans no regular coffee, and stop it, stop it, you know what you're talking about. Come on now. Colombia is one country that makes coffee, but differentiate between espresso and coffee. Espresso

beans are roasted longer. Okay, that's what I was looking for. Right. I believe Starbucks if I remember, it's been a while since I was burnt. Yeah, I was a training manager for them. I believe the average bean is nine to eleven minutes and the espresso was fourteen minutes something like that. So they believe the longer you roast the coffee, the more flavor comes out of the bean, which is why

even their regular coffee has a little bit more smoky taste. Right, But people assume that they go, oh, this is a strong cup of coffee. It's not strong. Caffeine is gonna do it? The taste, caffeine, caffeine level of coffee like espresso did a shot of espresso so much caffeine. A shot of espresso has the same amount of caffeine roughly as a cup of coffee less water. Another knowledge bomb for you, Boom. I'm just throwing it. People think that espresso has the most caffeine. I just said that it

does not. You know what has the most caffeine? A blonde? What a blonde? A blonde roast? A blonde roast. That's not correct, that is correct. Look it up, rule of Brodie. Be right, there's a blonde roast, A dark roast, there's espresso. You get more caffeine in a blonde roast. Now here's why I know this because the barista at Starbucks downstairs told me so. Now, once again, if this is wrong, it was their job to be right. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with I'm pretty sure. I'm back I'm

walking it back a little bit. Maybe i'm backpedaling, but I'm pretty sure a blonde. If you are dead asleep and you have to wake up, most people reach for espresso. Most people reach for espresso, and that is wrong because that has the least amount of caffeine. The most caffeine is in a blonde roast of coffee. Don't tell me I'm wrong, Brodie. Okay, there's two different explanations for what

you're about. What you're talking about. Traditionally, lighter roasts have more caffeine because the dark the roasting process removes a little. That's correct. However, since the beans are denser than a darker roast. Uh, if you weigh out, the scoop's darker roast will have more caffeine because there is less mass. Blah blah blah, bah blah. So it has to do

with um. But I'm not entirely wrong here. And the barista, I'm actually the barista was the one who told us to me at Starbucks downstairs, and she seemed to have known her coffee. I trusted her at word. I didn't try and google her wrong. There's a lot of silence on this podcast. I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I'll give you two answers. The blonde roast was not available back when I was a trainer for Starbucks. Um, but

looking at it depends on the website. But I'm looking at Kicking Horse Coffee and they say that caffeine is fairly stable in the roasting process. If you weigh out your scoop, stark or roast will have more caffeine because there was less mass. Uh So what should also be noted rabbic caffeine to pay on the plant. Well, I started drinking blonde roast here because I thought that I

was getting more caffeine and I needed to wake up. Okay, it also depends on on what type of bean you're roasting, So blonde roast is just a level of cooking it too blonde, right, lightly roasted? Okay, all right, I think we've had enough of coffee talk. What do you think

with Linda Richmond? Yeah, I look, I cant listen. The thing about Colombian coffee, which I just want to correct you about the different coffee from different parts of the world, Like Latin American coffees like Columbia have a brightness and acidity and a lighter flavor to them in a city, meaning like what when we suck a lemon, right, it's like, yeah, acidity is that bright feeling It kind of uh like it almost lights up your mouth a little bit, like

a menthol gum or whatever, like experiment gum, whereas Asian coffees are very heavy and dense and almost taste like you're eating dirt. You're kind of muddy, where African coffees are sort of in the middle somewhere like a Canyon or Ethiopian coffee. I like a good Colombian coffee. You're saying that because that's what you know. If you had if you had a Costa Rican coffee, you probably like it better than Colombian. Shout out Costa Rica. All right, let me get you had a good Canyon or an

Ethiopian hurraar. Your eyes will pop out of your head. You're like, oh my god, this is so much better than Columbian. Well you have to go yet. The best thing you do is get a French press, and your French press the different coffee from around the world, and I can teach you how to tell them apart. But Asian coffees the like Somatra scary. What's this big white package staring me in the face? That's my sac Is that your colder shack? No, so you're gonna need to

get you didn't need to get our jingle. Somebody sent us uh something a package for us, and I want to get their name because they didn't put a note in the bag. What they did was is they asked us. They asked me what our mailing address was. They said, hey, what's the mailing address to send you guys? Uh something? They said, she sent to Brody is scary, and so I said, send it to Brody because I have a desk and you do not. Bro good boys. They not to give me stuff. Free ship for us, Oh, I

feel some free ship coming my way. Free ship for us, hit me heavy, free ship for us. I had to go back now into my Instagram and search to figure out who it was. Had the conversation with and hope that it's this person, because other people send us stuff. I don't know if it's from this Let me see the label. Don't the label? No? No, So this person sent us stuff from the shipping department of an unnamed company in Austin, Texas. Okay, so I'm assuming I'm gonna

wait a second. Let me check this person's Instagram. Could we say his name Michael Bellevue, Michael Bellevue. The reason I'm pronouncing his last name for sure? Oh you Deely, Michael Bellevue. Bellevue could be what there Michael Bellevue on here it is, it's probably Bellevue. Let me see what it is. I'm gonna kid it Christmas. Here you're holding. Here's what I'm gonna say before I take these out. We've gotten a lot of free ship for us and

keep it coming. And Jenevic. Jenevic said, because I mentioned on Walkers and Talkers that we got free shirts. I described the shirts and said, we got t shirts from the from the free ship for us to part man is the one who sent us pizza, right, and so I kind of I alluded on the Walkers and Talkers podcast episode seven. I think hold on. Janevic was like, I was gonna send your shirts. I go to to seven days in a week, you always send the shirts.

So these shirts are very much things we say, oh no really, So first the first one and we got two of the gray ones and I think no, hold on, hold on, okay, So we got one gray shirt which is clearly for me, two blue shirts, one for each of us, and a black one for you. So we both end up with two shirts. The first shirt. The first shirt an official Diet Coke shirt that says no ice, Diet Coke, no Ice. It's I'm gonna put the pictures up on Instagram. This is one of the best things ever.

And our new Twitter at the Brooklyn Boys, which is coming very soon, getting a lot of activity here. Whoa uh the shirt just for scary says problems and Brooklyn ain't one like that. So there's your Brooklyn that's jay Z. Yeah, this one. This is a Brooklyn Boys shirt if ever there was a Brooklyn Boys shirt. Yeah. I don't know what these costs, so thank you a hundred times over. These are customers custom because when you see what they say on them, you will your head's gonna explore, haven't

seen them? Stop holding out? Read Read the shirt? What does it say? It says don't tweet me? And there's the picture of the Twitter the blue Twitter bird with a red circle and a line through it don't tweet me. That is hilarious. Bravo. We want you to tweet us because our newly freshly um freshly polished handle is coming. Yes at the Brooklyn Boys, let's have a party for that. And we're not giving up at Brooklyn Boys. WTF So you can't you can't get in there and steal it.

We're gonna park that, all right. So Michael Bellevue, thank you very much. But I would put a note in the bag next time. Send us a you tell me it's coming. I assume it's from you, But now if a package drive from Michael Lamorrow, we don't know who this is. Thank you so much. Now, speaking of your you're a heavy cream situation, You're you're going back on this. I have to We got a tweet from David Hugo or Huggle. I'm assuming it's Hugo at hl W D

Hugot one, uh ordering not no one thing. You have to remember, so a lot of people what they do is they know you run the Brooklyn Boys account, so they only tweet me and at the Brooklyn Boys throw in at scary Jones. Also, if you don't mind, yeah, I won't see it if you don't, okay. Ordering McDonald's from my daughter, I said milk. Was asked white or chalk? Clid, I said milk. They asked again, white or chocolate. I bit my tongue from my daughter and said white. But

I felt so dirty and wrong. Has taken no such thing as white milk. So exactly what comes out of a cow milk. That's what I want, all right, Uh Daniel's sorrow for vertigamou out to dinner with my parents. They took so long to get as the food and then my mom's order was totally wrong. Told them about free dessert. They took her order off the bill. Offered to fix it right away at free dessert and beer. Now my parents want your book. Boom boom. I got

to meet a listener of ours, uh Daniel Cruz. Daniel works in an outback that I happened to be in with my mom. Daniel came up to me and said, hey, man, you're David Brody, Right. I said, yeah, now right away. I know I can't complain about my meal. Now I'm done right And there was two things wrong with my meal. They put the green posse on my potatoes when I asked, but I couldn't say anything. You couldn't. So Daniel, very nice to meet you. He's a he's a slice. He comes,

he says, you David Brodie. I said, yes, I am. He's slice for life. The first thing he said to me, I said, well, it's a pleasure to meet. Was I listen. I was in the LP Stray Morning Shure. Every day I listen to book the podcast. Oh my god, I'm such a fan. I'm fan growing right now. I'm so excited because can we get a pictures? That? Okay? He says, I know you don't like taking pictures. So first of all, he's paying attention. So I said, no, Daniel, for you,

I'll take a picture. And then he says, don't worry. I I already I saw you from a distance. My fault, My camera app is already open. I know you don't like to wait, so he's like he's prepared everything. So first of all, I don't have a problement waiting. I don't know if I said that. I just don't remember saying that. But I definitely don't like taking selfies. But I did take a picture with Daniel. He's very nice.

And then I wrote him and I said it was a pleasure meeting you, and he wrote me back basically he said, I know you all on the Big Show don't refer yourselves celebrities, but to me, you are. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me. Happy Father's Day. Very nice. But he seems surprised that that number one I was nice, but too that we would take a picture, would you why would see the whole thing like we're not celebrities? We really we really aren't. Yeah,

I mean, but it was. It was great meeting him, really nice guy. Um Jason Poland at j Poland ten went to a drive through was asked to pull to the side. I said, no, Hashtech Slice for Life, Uh, carry s hedges. I sent out a joke on Monday. On Wednesday night, I got a cartoon meme that said

bum bum, I said carry. Two days later the way, I met a couple of wonderful listeners and including a boyfriend and girlfriend who date and they were literally in they caught us as we were leaving the venue and we were we were kind of like in this area from where we were meeting listeners and clients too. We were walking up the side ramp and then the staircase, and they caught and they were the nicest couple. But you know what they're posted. They didn't post the picture.

They didn't post or tag the pictures, so I can't find them. But they were wonderful people. And I met them in Cleveland and they were asking for you prodie, and you know, they were slices for life, and they said that they listened in order to look who it is. Spruce on the loose, the man with the juice going on. All the Spruce fans are happy, all the people that don't want us to have guests are upset. Don't cut me as a guest, then you'll bring another dimension together

that it's undescribable. I love every second or or indescribable adribed. Two more things I want to read from Lyndy. Lindy used to tweet us a lot. She is what up girl? Not more than Zelda. Okay, anyway, she hasn't tweeted us in a while. She tweeted re listening to The Brooklyn Boys. Of course, with episode zero, it's oddly satisfying to listen to all the ideas David Brody and Scary Jones were

tossing around. Remember when reading birthdays was a thing? L O L. I did get hype when I hear heard my name, even though it was rhetorically anyway, So thank you. And one more thing. Today, Elvis on The Big Show talked about what would you do if you had ten million dollars and somebody texted in, I would invest ten million dollars in the Brooklyn Boys podcast and make that the number one podcast in America. Wow, that is dedication. That's awesome. Thank you so much for that. That really God.

I almost want to cry when I when when I get d m s on Instagram or Twitter, people send us messages and because people, the loyalty and the dedication is at a level that I don't think I've ever experienced in my career. And I don't know why it's even warranted. And I don't feel like I deserve any of this. Yeah he doesn't. Yeah, yeah, Scar you a good dude. Thank you, you're dude. That that's nice of you.

I appreciate that welcome. So uh, we got an email from Louise Koto who was talking about the interrupting intern from episode nu Um correcting intern, correcting intern. Yeah, I flew to New York City to see the mom family and some friends. One day, I was walking towards my mom's home in Harlem with my sister. We were and by the way, I didn't read this because you walked into the rooms first I did. This is a coincidence. I had the phone in my hand before you walked

into the room. You accuse me of trying to read this. So so he was in Harlem casually passing a thrift shop, which started, which started a conversation regarding thrift shops and consignment stores. So this ballsy snot nos motherfucking hipster decided to interrupt our conversation and say, with a boogie tone, this is not a consignment store, this is a thrift shop. My sister yelled, motherfucker. I stopped standing at him and said,

I'm speaking about consignment stores at my location. The hipster that apologized and proceeded to walk into the store. My sister laughed and said, how dare he? These ass hats had the balls to interrupt our conversation, not knowing what we're talking about. I'm glad you didn't lose your harlem. I don't know what that means, I said. It seems like he wasn't ready for a response. I'm not too sure if it's a generational thing or or poor parenting.

But I'm on the cusp between Generation X and a millennial. But people tend to categorize me as millennial. My mom told us speak when spoken to and prepare for repercussions on all decisions made. These kids are fucking ballsy. Thank you, Luis Koto. Speaking of eves dropping, they just walked into a conversation that they weren't Yeah. So speaking of eavesdropping, I met my physical therapist on Friday, right, so this

weekend was a big weekend. Sunday is not only Father's Day for me, it's my mom's birthday, so every few years it's the same day. So I had plans for Father's Day, but I couldn't include my mom in the plans because it was in a different direction. But she understood, so I went to see her for a birthday On Saturday. I had a nice lunch. We had dinner, but nice day,

you know whatever. Gave her a present whatever. I can't say what it is because no, no, one of the things I ordered for her hadn't arrived yet, and it as of the recording of this, she hasn't gotten it yet. But she might hear this podcast before I see your next week, so I can't say what it was. I'll tell you later. Okay. So I met the physical therapist, and you know, I had elbow surgery. So part of the therapy is I laid down on the table and my my my arm therapist, he's my hand in arm therapist.

Um massage of the arm, stretches, it works it out. So I'm laying down on the table. And then there's a regular table where people sit at with other ailments. They have hand injuries, different things, So they sit and they do like little peg boards, they squeeze putty, they do whatever they're doing. So there's an old lady. I'm gonna say she's old because she's freaking old. She's at least she's at least I don't be like, they shouldn't be ganging and she's mean all she's old. I don't

know her. Okay, that's really the right. Okay. So I'm talking to my hand guy, my guy, Joe, and he's like, what are your plans for the weekend? So I so I say to him, well, it's my mom's birthday and I'm gonna go see us Saturday night. And the old lady says, oh, not she Now, I'm laying down right, Joe is to my right, and she is behind Joe at the table. But my head I can perifeully see her. My head's passed Joe because he's on my elbow, so the top of my head is I could see past Joe.

I see the woman and she just, oh, that's nice. You're gonna see your mother? What the fuck you? So, I say, you know? So then, Joseph, what are you doing for Father's Day? Is it? Well, Joe, you know what Father's days happens to be my actual mom's birthday, and I'm not gonna be able to see her on her birthday, so I'm taking her out Saturday. Oh that's nice. I suppose the woman says this. What was she implying? I don't know. So I'm like the fuck, So I

keep telling you my story. I said, yeah, I'm taking my mom off at dinner and take it to Brooklyn because there's some restaurants she wants to go to. So one of my presences on my vacation, I'm gonna drive it to Brooklyn. We spent the who day in Brooklyn, got all favorite places and here go, oh that's sweet. Okay, all right, I'm irked, but I'm not that irk yet. So then I said, you know, everything is on Sunday.

I you have three kids. My oldest one made plans with her boyfriend and she's not going to see me on Father's Day. I said, I'll upset about it. Hear, oh that's terrible. M So I saw him. He's looking at me and he's like, he's giving me the look like please leave her alone. She's you know. So then I said, yeah, you know, she's home from college, is a little bumpy, and you know we're not clicking right now. And she says, oh, don't worry, honey. They all come

around eventually, when she's in her twenties. It will all work out. I'm like, this woman is listening to so I ignore her. I ignore her, and I say, so, anyway, we're going to such and such right the way that would be a verbal cue, I was, because it's annoying him. Right, So I go, so, anyway, Uh, you know, the four of us are gonna go out to dinner one of my favorite restaurants. And I tell him the Rain Restaurant. She goes, oh, I've never been there. Okay, so him.

So I go back and I go so anyway and again. So she's like, huh, Now, when your daughter doesn't talk to you, you don't, you're rude. So, by the way, the older you get, the more you have to you get to say anything. So then my my joke said, Joe gives me the look and he goes, all right, So I go, excuse me, I'm not responding to your commentary because you're not part of this conversation. You've sel far given me. She said all the things, but I

shortened the story. It's self all you've given me advice on raising my daughter, where I should eat, when I should take my mom out of her birthday, uh you know, and what gifts, your thoughts on the gift I got her? Maybe she was lonely, I said, I said, I apologize for not responding to you, but I wasn't talking to you. So I'm trying to get my arm worked out. So if you don't mind, I'd like to have what I said, if it's okay, I said, I appreciate your feedback. But no, no,

I wasn't upset she was doing it. I was upset she made a comment that I wasn't responding to her so very politely, was like, you know, I wasn't responding to you. Do you did you start yelling like you're doing right now? No? I was. I was a little more. I was a little more like, but you know, spruce, don't you think and maybe maybe I have a little soft spot for the elderly and you have the aging,

But don't you think that maybe she was lonely. She wanted to get in on a conversation and she I mean, if it was me, I think I would roll with the punchers. I would have. I would have. How was she? Oh forty, that's all give you that old I gotta go with scary. You can say anything you want to say coming if you want to just walk around just straight winted to pulling it, But donald ducking was. I

wasn't rude to her. I was matter of fact. I just said, well, the reason I didn't respond I kind of wasn't talking to you, I said, But you know, I think I would have had more issues with it if it was the intern. But again, when she was like, oh, no, wonder your daughter doesn't want to have she so you wonder your doing didn't have dinner with your fathers to day, I was like, oh, no, come on, now, that's uncalled for, so keeves dropping. You want to eavesdrop, but don't be

obvious and jump in. What happens when your hustle. Yeah, I had one more email. I wanted to read, what are you doing today? By the way, Spruce, Well, what are you doing? What's up with you with your New Orleans bad self? What are you doing? I was just passing through town and I saw you guys doing here. Bother you with my water. Bother you when people say New Orleans.

Okay, there's a new recurring sketch with two of the cast members on the show, The Blonde Girl, I like her and I forget the other guys don't wait me like the shirt says there's two guys on the two on the show. It may have been UM, thank you, thank you so much. This is from Michael Bellevue. He sent us these t shirts that match up personalities and things

There is a new Twitter account that I have to get props too. It's called Terrorizing Brody with pictures of Scallions. It's it's at Scallions one to three and every day they send me pictures scallon. I'm gonna show you the picture of Virgilio Franceski. By the way, that's the most Italian name ever, right, Francesi.

That is awesome and that was not photoshop to know that's women with pizza Boo's actual like pizza slices on their boots with that. Um. Alright, so and I have a sound collupt to play. All right,

you're not no, you go first. Uh. This is just an email from Ashley, who says that she was never a fan until and never a podcast listener until Elvis repeatedly promoted the Brooklyn Boys a few months ago. I've been obsessed ever since. And have gotten my husband to start listening to you guys, Uh, Scary, love your easy going nature, what you bring to the podcast until you started being until you start being nice to the Jersey Kid and consider letting him join the podcast. Fuck the

Jersey Kid, Greg team. You guys have a great thing going without him. And I enjoyed the occasional guest drop in like you Spruce, Um, especially if it is Spruce on the loose. That's why I wanted to read this while you were here. Brody loved the rants. Currently traveling for work, had a few complaints about the hotel I man, and I told my husband that my complaints about my complaints and he said free dessert. I was the original Slice for life and I wasn't even thinking about free

dessert until he mentioned it. And for both of you have to use hashtag Scary and Brody in the subject line to attract Scary to read this of course. Anyway, Uh texted the Big Show the other week made my day. Um had the biggest smile after I got a text back, which was a huge for me. So she texted us while the morning show was was in session. Anyway, I

lost my step mom days before my wedding. She was my go to wedding planner and the person I had confided in and told everything too when I wasn't able to tell anyone else. She was my biggest supporter and I was closer with her than my than my mom. This is her step mom, she's talking. Uh. Things have been hard for me the past few weeks as I'm trying to cope. But I am not exaggerating when I say that's scary and Brody always make me smile and laugh out loud, and really that means a lot to me.

Best podcast ever with the best guys as co hosts. Um, I'm going to get you guys hashtag free ship for you when I find the perfect gifts. A wow, Ashley's that is special. That makes it, That makes it all worth while for me. Yeah, that m that's awesome. That's really how I wanted to leave it. So yeah. No, it's I'm kind of like, uh for Clempt, A little for Clemp. I mean in the I'm a little Clempt.

I don't know the difference. It's Linda Richmond. Yiddish is uh German influenced language, Hebrew German language, whereas Hebrew as it is a slightly different language. Yiddish has got a German like for clempt is for clempt would a v

a little on the German side. I did want to play an audio clip somebody sent in a video where they felt that sounded like Spruce laughing, and I can't find it, but I did thank you everyone who tweeted me that when we played Brody's parody going to New Jersey a couple of weeks ago, that I watching crazy that they all said one person that it's sounding Nope, nope, nope.

You should have seen everybody tweeting me behind your back, Brodie that then it sounds I said, it sounded like Spruce doing the parody, and Brody jumps down my throat after we play, goes why because the person who was recording, and I'm like, no, because the motherfucker actually sounds like Spruce. That's why. And there's no other reason why you share who we're taking what I thought, because guess what coined to Prody, we're all racist together. You are all racist together.

But because it's the only black guy you know on this show. But to his but to Brodie's Spruce dunt sing Yeah, I don't I do that thing. I do wrap though, but too Brodie's defends and stuff. Ralph Roll, a good friend of ours, actually does a great impression of me. But that being here to do spruce and then go back. And the drummer for Chic so he is on the up and the police theater. I like this guy. He did a lot of stuff for us. Anyway, we got this tweet from Alberto Prieto. He said he

was going too Farre pizza in Brooklyn. We said great. He said, I'm there now, I'm getting pizza. That's right, And we both tweeted, you get the Sicilian the square? The square right? And he said, riding nearby your neighborhood with the fam and everyone's hungry. I said, wait, isn't the fara pizza on here? Seven minutes later, here we are waiting for a pie. It better be good. Brodian

scary and uh. And he took a picture and everything showed us the picture of the farist right, and we both asked him that question, and he wrote paper back, I got the Sicilian. I didn't know. I got the Neopolitan A round. It's like it's like going to an Italian restaurant getting hamburger and fries. You gotta get the square. My friend solid Laby's Pizza Spimoni Gardens, Brooklyn and getting the round with the round its pimoni guards is fantastic.

It's great, but it's not the square. It's not what they're And then known, by the way, for those of you in the New York area driving in the New York area, LM. B. Stimoney Gardens, our favorite Brooklyn pizza place, is opening up next year right at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side, so we'll be able to hop over the brakes, grab and slice back as we will. And by the way, well we're talking pizza,

which we always are. Our friend in turn, John came up here the other day and I sent them to Prince Street Pizza. I said, make sure you get the spicy pepperoni square, and he did. But some people I know went in that same very place and got a fucking round. Part. You don't do that. You don't do that, and you don't go to auto choke and anything. But the ka Sicilians isn't like pizza bologists, aren't you. Rule of thumb if a pizza establishment serves a square type

of pizza. There's a very good chance, I would say, an outrageous, excellent, over the top chance that that will be better than the round every time. That because they specialize it, you got if you got an opportunity for generalized reporting, to do it for duty. I don't know any there. There's no place listen if you offer the square ercent of the time the square Joe's Joe's on Carmine Street. That's an exception, not a gross. Joseph Greenage Village are written up every year as having the best

slice of pizza New York, one of them. Top ten, always top ten Joe's when I when you say slice of pizza, you mean the triangle, the round slice, the round pie cutting hair right. I tried the Sicilian. It's a hundred times better than the round. Did I tell you about the guy? I told you that. Yeah, that's where I went. When the guy he said he was from Seattle. He was outside Seattle and Washington State, and he's like, is this good? Two o'clock in the morning,

lying around the corner. He's just pizza any good? The funk at wait pizza pizza In two more weeks, Brooklyn Boys, Brock Brooklyn, Brookline, Brow Boys, Brock Brooklyn,
