with me on my trip. The best part about sent Bird is they're already in little travel sizes for you know. That's the second best part. The best part is you can buy travel size prices. You don't have to buy the big jars, the big bottles of cologne. Then you

don't like them. They sit around. What happens? They collect dust in your medicine chest or wherever you store your cologne or your perfumes, the old ones behind the towels, No, and and and they cost so much, whereas this is a much more cost effect of way of smelling great and having a different scent every time. Um, I'm going on a cruise, as I just mentioned, to Alaska, so I'm thinking I need uh cold air compatible cologns. So I'm gonna take stuff that sounds like like ice blue

or ice cool water, stuff like that. I'm gonna take it with me. Sent Bird is a luxury fragrance subscription service. You mix up your cologner perfume routine and discover new cologns and perfumes along the way without buying the entire bottle. They have over four d fifty designer brands. I may go product. I don't think i've I've had a product yet. Choose the cologne you want to try from their website. It's sent bird dot com, s C E N T B I r D dot com and don't give you

a thirty day supply. That's a hundred and twenty sprays enough to apply more than four times a day for a month. Think about that for a second. And what's great about the website is you can sort the cologns by brand, by occasion, by season, by style, which is exactly what I need to go to Alaska now right now. At cent Bird, they want to hook our Brooklyn Boys slices up with fifty percent off your first month. That's half off, So for only seven dollars and fifty cents

you'll get your first fragrance. But you gotta go to centbird dot com slash Brooklyn and use our code Brooklyn for fifty percent off your first month. That's s C E N T, B I r D dot com slash Brooklyn and use code Brooklyn and check out get half off. Smell great, save money. Guess who just got back today? The Brooklyn is that it's been away. They both have so much to say. You know, their names are pretty and scared the boast its podcast coming at your MP

three and three three? Yeah, I was gonna say it's not live and it's not on tape. Can we put it on wax? We should have a Brooklyn Final album and then charge thirty five dollars for it at Bontenoble, a commemorative Brooklyn Boys album. But it's done. It's looks like a pizza. Yes, yes, you remember back when records were red vinyl or no, no, they would they would actually make the vinyl. Yeah, the picture, Oh my god, can we have that for our one episode? And remember that?

How many? How many? What do you get like, how many minutes? What's the maximum? Forty five minutes? Aside on a thirty three and a third LP album. I think now with technology, they can do an hour, don't you know whatever? We're looking up Don't Tweet us. We two episodes and I will my don't Tweet Me shirt while we're on vacation. It was awesome and um, we gotta just stop the go right from the beginning. And my myrex I Coke no I shirt correction. Okay, so let

me set the stage. I got an email from instag d m on Instagram, from of course, from a guy named Mike. I believe Michael, and Mike said, Hey, what's your address? I want to send you something, huh like, oh, here's our address. Three or four days later, I get a package with T shirts for me and T shirts for Scary. We got three each, right or two each? Whatever was one for you? I got, we both got don't Tweet Me, and I got die coke Noise. We

talked about it on episode eighty nine. I last episode was n maybe it was eighty eight, well we we I think it was eighty nine, whichever, whichever The last one, okay, last one we did before. The package didn't have any information. It had a packing slip from the company that shipped it, but it didn't have a name of who sent it.

So I was like, Oh, had to be Mike because he asked me for the du four days a well, shortly after we got off the air on our last podcast, Liz a Costa in all caps two at the Brooklyn Boy It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast at gmail dot com. Michael got the credit, but the shirts are actually from me, Liz Acosta from p A. Please see the previous emails. I said, I'm so sad, and I right back, Liz,

Oh no, that's awful. There was no note, and Brody matched it up on Twitter with some guy who said he was sending us text emails you we we thoroughly apologize, thank you so much, beautiful and so uh and yes we're on vacation. Will definitely thank you on our next episode. Okay, So what Liz did was he put a Facebook message in one of the many fan Facebook pages and said I don't have Twitter or Instagram. I can't reach out

to them, so please tell them it was me. So she writes back again on our email, I'm so glad you guys loved them. I sent you a follow up mail and that they were where they were coming. And yeah, they shipped directly from the company that made them. That's why there was no note. Sy. I didn't miss the note, but I thought they would have included a receipt with the order. If there was one, please kindly shred it as it would have my personal information in there. It

did not. It just said such and such warehouse seeing whatever city and state. Right, But we would have screenshot at your info before we shredded it had there been something. But here's what I will say, because I don't know how you're gonna get a well, email us back, Liz, but let us know where you got the shirts from so we can get more printed up at some point licensed Episode zero Lis from p A. All right, thank you,

thank you so much. Now in terms of buying a picture disc or commemorative thing, a couple of things on that note. Number one another comedy club. We have two comedy clubs now fighting over us to do a live

podcast at their facility. One has already promised us free dessert for all of the people that show up, right, and was that the one we talked to our boy Mark about okay because I told him, I said, this other venue that he was pitching has to have free desert, right and I said, has to have enough room to

watch us, which they're not sure they do. And so the first place free dessert has a lot of room for us to set up and do a podcast and they and they regularly do podcasts fighting they have good dessert. They oh yeah, they do. The second thing about commemorative, we've talked about buying shirts, doing it go fund me, a kickstarter. Someone in the podcast industry that I know suggested something as a way to create revenue so that we have a little cash to buy T shirts and uh,

you know whatever with our logo on it. And I thought it was kind of weird, but I wanted your feedback on it and to see what what are what are slices think of it? And then I want to talk about the slices we got tonight. Okay, we have and we have a real thank you to give out. So this was the idea. We do a second like one episode a month, just one a bonus episode, but it's a dollar in episode. You don't have to buy it,

you can skip it. If you don't want to pay for it, doesn't take the place of one of the weeks. It's it's like, if you want it, you can buy it. If you're just a way to raise money, so we can buy Brooklyn Boy. So that'll be our fund, our slush fund. Right so we back in the day, we used to call that petty cash. Right now and we could buy stuff with with that money. I don't know

even when we're gonna find time to do it. This was just an idea, and I thought, all right, listen, I don't I like doing the free podcast for the people, right I like that, but this has been a way for you know, people if they want the extra episode, and I don't know, if the dollars to write them out, maybe it's less more. I don't know. This is what he does, and he suggested he did suggest it, and this guy is a podcast guru. We put our stock

in what this guy says. Yeah, he writes columns, he consults. And I said, well, I don't know, revisit that. We were like, I feel really really creepy and dirty about charging our listeners, right, but this would be like, hey, it's that if you don't have to, you don't have to. It's just that we'll see. We'll see now they listen. People. A lot of people came to our defenses that they would pay five cents, ten cents and episode right. People said, oh, I'll pay a quarter for the sense I don't I

don't know. We're just throwing it out there. We're not looking to do good boys stuff. However, free ship for us again. Janevic strikes again on Twitter. Free ship for us um. Jenevic said, we got an email, got a text message saying, hey for us, what's up boys, don't be rushing out of the studio today. You have a delivery coming at twelve forty pm. Well, it's a welcome

back gift. Enjoy and guess what. At twelve forty pm, the hotline rang from the lobby and they said, scary, Brodie Bartie, scary, you have a delivery in the lobby. Six pizza, six freaking pizza pie from John's Pizza, which is fantastic, Time Square, Time Square, not the Bleaker players. And I tweeted it out all the information, but we got chicken meatball sausage combo. Uh. Anyway, there's none of them have vegetables on so thank you, thank you so much.

And and by the way, who's piste Off producer Sam who's a vegan. She's like, there's no vegetables on. You know what I have to I'll tell her there's one plane underneath of the stacks. I'll let her know. Oh, don't let her eat. Of course, let her eat. I don't want to hide that from her, the only thing she could possibly eat. I'm already on my third. Two meatballs and a sausage. Yeah, I had a meat Wait a minute, that didn't sound right, and slices, two slices.

Did you did you have the sausage between the two meatballs? Uh? It was okay, Yeah, Well, thank you Janevic. Again, unnecessary, Please don't do this. Let's not by the way, Janevic, just so you know, because it's sort of random. Jamie and I record Walkers and Talkers usually on Tuesdays or Wednesdays around eleven o'clock. Yeah, is he because we shouted him out on our other podcast and he said, oh,

what time do you guys record. I want to send you something, Jenne if you don't need to send anything, but that's when we do walkers. And speaking of walkers and Talkers Episode one nine is up and live ready to go. We recapped three episodes because we've been on vacation on that show as well. I did not broadcast live from the Dodge Car studio. I've never a chance because I was on vacation and we were traveling. However, Episode one fifty features Pollyanna mackintosh, who plays Jadis and

Anne on The Walking Dead. There's a new movie coming out, so you're talking into the language right For those who episode one fifty, Okay, skip skip, I'm glad you brought up Skip thirty. Read about skipt. It has to do with the song we're about. Okay, all right, so let me just preface what you're gonna do. So I spent I spent a little bit of my time on vacation coming up with some new material for the show. I've written a couple of things, but this is the first

one I got produced. But before you play it, this is unrelated to people sending in these emails. I just thought of it because I had made a comment when it was going on that we needed a jingle for it. It's in light blue, you see it. Yeah, I'll hold on today. Read the emails all right, We're not going to do an official email segment today which read emails about what you're talking about. Let because I said, go ahead,

I'll say, okay, where is it? Then a lot of them, a lot of them cover this topic all that has to do with the Jersey Kid the last time. But no, but they mentioned it. They mentioned it in a in part of bigger emails. And I don't want to read all these emails. So when the Jersey Kid was on the last time he was, I said to people, I'm sorry. I tried to get him out of here. I said, just skip, skip ahead, to skip thirty, but skip ahead, skip past this because we can't. We sit here and

he's here. We can't skip. We're living it. This is what we do for you people, for the slices. We sit through it. He's not here today, don't worry. But a bunch of people apparently emailed about the skip third. Um, I heard my last email you brought up about the Jersey Kid and died laughing. He responded, bite me, oh wow, so Jersey Kid bites back. Um. I feel like if I did, I would get some sort of mouth microsis or herpo gana spurry spur ads. Is that even a word?

He sounds like a cigar smoking, greasy, used car salesman. I don't know what he means when he said he would bounce me, but if it's literal, If it's literal, I'm six four, two sixty and he doesn't sound too athletic from the heavy, open mouth breathing between his attempts to be on your show. Anyway, I love the show, guys, keep it up and and uh oh. The R word retarded should not be used for anything, should not be used for insult, only for timing and engine and as

a shorter term for mental retardation. That was just another topic, So Michael, Okay, here's Chris d' antonio. The subject is the Jersey Kid. Keep him coming, or at least don't stop him from coming, that is all. Yes, I miss French him, which is the Jersey Kids podcast. But he is room in the world for the Brooklyn Boys, oh my god, and the Jersey Kids. Okay, Chris, I think you're gonna read this. The Skips, I know I'm looking for them. No, no, no, I am, I was. I

think most of them came in on Twitter. That's the thing, all right. So a lot of people said they want to skip ahead thirty seconds when he comes in. Right, okay, So for all of you that want to skip ahead when the Jersey Kid comes in, the first line of the song it may not be clear, but it's the first line is the Jersey kid, here we go, here, come along along? Never great, don't up go hey move. That's right. When your Jersey kid in the studio, skip dirty they you go. Next time he comes in, we'll

just play that over him. We'll turn the mics down. I did something really ballsy on my vacation, Brodie, and I don't know if you're gonna agree with me on this, if you're gonna pat me on the back, or if you if you're gonna say that I pulled a Brooklyn, or if you're just gonna shame me. Do you need to get the sponsorship jingle in No, but you might want to shame on you jingle I'll get it or not. So I was at the Jersey Shore and it was the fourth of July and there's this restaurant that was

right near where the fireworks were. And as you can imagine, dinner time before the fireworks on the beach, this restaurant was pretty damn crowded. It was packed to the gills with people. Now, were you do you have a reservation? No, they don't take reservations. So I hear this coming name drop. No, no, no, I didn't do this, didn't do that. I did something that. Yeah, I'm gonna pull a left turn here. Don't even try and predict what. Okay, So they have an outdoor patio

in the back filled with people and tables. Then they got a room. A back room was filled with tables. They got a side room filled with tables, a bar area filled with tables, and a main dining area filled with tables. This place could probably see about three people at once. And they got people coming to the counter from the front entrance of the place and from the beach side back entrance to the place. The place runs runs across it's, it's it's it's a long place. It's

a huge, huge, freaking huge huge. And there's no and there are these girls at the front desk like trying to take names, playing the waiting game. There's no beeper or anything. It's just put your name down, wait for table. How many in your party? Right, I'll scribble your name on this clipboard here that's in the front, and you go to the back. Same deal, different girls, clipboard, no computer system, know anything. So me and Robin, Robin and I, Robin and me walk into what we have. We'll get

to that later. Grammar police walk in survey the place. I'm like, no one's paying attention here. They don't know. This is the blind leading the blind is the fourth July. The places jammed with people. We walked to the bar area and we're standing there and all of a sudden, we see not one or two, but five or six tables scattered in the whole place. Because we case the joint that we're empty. And fift minutes go by and nobody sits down. They didn't see anybody at those tables.

These girls were in over their head, the girls in the front or did they not have a server? And she was in the back, and the names of the people were just like they were just whatever they were doing. People were waiting, and I'm like, fucking time is money, My money is time. I'm gonna pull a Brooklyn here. I said, see that table for two sitting over there, I'm like that that should has been empty for like fifteen minutes. I said, let's go sit down right now.

And she's horrified. She's like, we can't do that. I said, oh yeah, we can. I said, oh yeah, so she I should sit down. Already grabbed menus on. So as we're walking, I passed like like people had taken menus that they were finished with and put them on a ledge. That two menus. She sits down. I give her one menu, I take the other. Then we go to another empty table where they were two um two, the wh the fork and the knife and the spooner up in the napkins.

Know they're fold up. It was a proper table setting. I grabbed the two off the empty table and I put it at our newly formed table. I ran to the bar and I said, hey, man, I got two Voka sons. Yeah sure, okay, buddy, great, all right. I grabbed them from the bar, sat down and now it looks like we're like fifteen minutes into our meals. So I'm sitting there with the men using and she's like

mortified because what if we get caught. What if they see other people in this what if they saw this table and they were I'm like, nah, First of all, they're now on a computer system. Secondly, the front the front end of the house, right, so I can always blame the front on the back of the back they got they got no system in place. He complete chaos. I'm like, I'm sucking hungry and I want to see the damn fire with us. Did you complain that nobody's

come to your table? Walks five because no one was coming to us because they weren't assigned to us. I said, oh, so he's the fantom complained. He goes, Oh you got He goes, I see you got your drinks? I said, yeah, I said the waitress. The waitress took our drink orders here and that was it, and I we never got you remember what she looked like? Yeah, dude, there's like fifteen servers there. He goes, I'll be right back. I'll

take your order. He comes back, takes our order. We have a full meal, relaxed, and plenty of time to pay the bill and go outside and watch the fireworks. Fantastic. What would you have done while I would have complained that nobody care to my table and gotten free dessert for it A step first, Yeah, but I know it's a little My girlfriend was like, that's fucking balls, but she's yeah, but she doesn't act it. Man, what do you what was that the wrong thing to do? Well? No,

because they weren't sitting anybody there right now. If that section was like waiting for a server to show off, No, they were, they were, there were people. They was just arbitrary tables that were empty. All right, Listen, I just gave that guy a nice tip because he picked up an extra table. We did, we did, but we just totally said, you know what, screw this, we're in You gotta you gotta take advantage. You gotta drive the lane,

you gotta you gotta act with conviction. I'm not really for taking advantage, but okay, in this case, where was the harmon foul because I skipped, I cut the line. Did I do what they did to you at the airport at that time when uh, when the airport lady tried to cut in front of you and when they called your group free and she was in group five. No, you did the right thing. I mean, because I have

no tolerance or patients for others ineptitude and stupidity. You know, if you're not gonna you know, if you're not gonna take you by the way, We did the restaurant owners a service because that was that was time that was going by, that that table was occupant. They do something again, free dessert? Where is it? And on the note of fireworks, I mentioned this on the Big Show and I don't know why people do this. I'm not gonna do I'm not gonna get into it. People showed up at noon

with their beach chairs. They showing up sitting on the bull ward walk and then at a good spot. Gotta get a good spot for what? For what? I could walk with? I could walk over to the beach five miles away, five miles away, or or walk onto the boardwalk thirty seconds before the fireworks start and look up. Why because the fireworks show is in the sky. You don't need to bring lawn chairs and towels for a quote good spot because the show isn't in front of you.

This fireworks show is in the damn sky. You're looking everyone's looking up. So why are people wasting their day? There's no bathrooms around. They're like, it's not it's not for picnic purposes. It's a freaking boardwalking Asbury. You're now, that's one of my I have two other complaints about fireworks. Number one, I don't get them anymore. Now that I'm an adult, you understand, No, I understand how they work. I don't get the fascination. A hundred years, they really

haven't advanced the technology of graphic display of fireworks. It's the same twelve patterns, the same different taps. It's the little sparkles that waterfall down the crack. It's the big bursts. It's the one that leaves the long streak in the sky, the waterfall. Yeah, like the shooting stars, they have like five the ones you see at the beginning of the Honeymoon. Yeah, there's the yellow reference that's been around that long. There's

the green, there's the red, there's the yellow. So then you know, oh oh, they did a green and a yellow overlap. They did a red green, they did a green red. Oh they go boom boom, boom boom. Right, you know what, I'm good now, and then fireworks. But they have made them to come up with a laser show with planes flying through I needed three D is the need c G I dinosaurs flying through the sky.

In the last ten or fifteen years, there was one technological uh you know, advancement, and that was when they started making the shapes. There was the heart. Yea, they did. They did patterns, some of them for patterns. Now they never used to do that back in the day. It's it's a fairly new thing. I'll tell you where the where the fireworks display is is worthwhile? Disney And why is that? Because they getting choked up over That's what

it is. Because they coordinated with Cinderella's Castle and the Laser Show and Disney music, and they time it to the music and and Peter Pan goes flying across like it's a it's a spectacle other than that fireworks like I missed it, Like this year, I missed it. They we're going off. I heard it in the neighborhood. The town was doing it. Plus people, what are you doing filming it? What are you doing with your phone out? Back in the day people have those big video cameras.

They would point him at the sky and they'd film it. Who goes home and rewatches a fireworks shover? Never? Never, in fact, go on YouTube watch somebody else now what I did do? Just to show. By the way, if you're listening this and you say you go back, you're lying or you need here's where it's acceptable and where I did it. I did it on my instant story because it's gonna be gone in twenty for hours. I don't mean like, hey, I was at a fireworks display

talking about something. I wanted to say, Hey, look, I'm Asbury Park board Walk watching these fireworks. Here's a couple of gratuitous shots of fireworks and by the way, they disappear like the fireworks themselves. But but I'm not gonna put a hard post on Instagram with with hours of video like I used to, because I made that mistake once or twice. I think I put up twenty I think I put Disney fireworks up. Here's the thing, and I mentioned on my Instagram many years ago because I

filmed somebody filming the fireworks at Disney. They were filming it, but like from behind the castles. You even see the last show anyway, what are you filming? Man? You're never gonna watch it, and you go on YouTube and watch someone else watch it. It's like when you take pictures of landmarks. Well, that was my next thing I was gonna say. I'm like, well, then do you not where

do you draw the line? Do you not take picture with the leaning Tower of Pizza, the Eifel Tower because of the picture of me in the picture, right, but don't you But when you take it of it, it's it's senseless. Because I want angle you want I want. I can google image any face things, most things. But if you're in the picture, now it becomes valuable. Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes they take pictures just the stuff. Sometimes like I was there, look at me at the Acropolis. Yeah,

I haven't been. That's the next cruise, after the next one. Who cruises from now? I think we're gonna do that. You're gonna go to grease You're gonna go to Greece and Italy and the whole thing. Can I pick on you yet you're hanging out with a grease ball? Yeah? Right after this, you're gonna. Yeah, I have a couple of called me. Now I'll take my lumps. You get a Grammar police, I'm a grand police. You get the jingle you got three three grand. A lot of times

it's because I'm rushed. Yeah, yeah, I hit the jingle the grand Police. Yeah, what are you hiding it? You're not getting it? No, tell me what I did wrong first, and then tell me you were at a club. You had a club called Dnick maybe at I don't know, or you were at mendicor Modern Core, Matha's Tiki Bar something on Mortels Tiki bar and poor pleasant. I can't read it because this stuff under it, like you put you use the white font over white things. Everyone in

this picture as a white thing. Jersey Shore. Alright, I was the Jersey Shore. So you wrote some Monday. Here's what I think. I think you don't listen to the podcast because we spent like ten minutes talking about this about using the word even when it doesn't help the sentence. Police police policee. Your caption was, does anyone even work on Monday's? Does anyone even work on Monday's? Okay? I

did that on purpose? Yeah? What was It's like, does anyone even because it was it was meant for punctuation, accentuation? And like who even because it works like a lot of people use that in their every day doesn't make sense in this situation? Does anyone said, does anyone work on Monday's? Does anyone even work on Monday's? I think you're okay, there, no, there's no one, there's no purpose for that, Okay, who like who even works on Monday's?

Don't let me get the millennials from twentysomething's to prove me right on this. They're not gonna, so they're gonna prove that they're wrong. If you had said, if you said something like, it's just a it's it's a it's a colloquialism, colloquialism, it isn't and you're not a millennial? Doesn't matter. I was speaking like one. My audience on Instagram is half millennials. It doesn't matter. Does anyone even work? Like, who even works on Monday's? Okay, but you didn't write that.

You wrote, does anyone even work? Does anyone even work? And even should be something shocking? Yeah, that's shocking. Does anyone Everybody was at that fucking club and nobody was working. That's what I was saying. Does anyone even work? Who even works? No? It, does anyone here work? There's a picture of people in their bathing suits. You don't in

the summer? You don't. I get it. You're wrong. Okay. Second, I'm gonna give you another On my Twitter and my Instagram, I put up a screenshot of a text message you sent. We have a chat room during the show and you wrote, you put a lot is one word. I mean, do you listen to this podcast? You can never be my interest to a lot as to words, that's correct. We've talked about how can people I could be your boss, you can't be my boss? Are you kidding me? A lot? Wait?

That's that was an internal dialogue that was not on That was on internal dialogue that we were talking on the show, and that was on Instagram. You're on a lot, but you put it on Instagram. That wasn't for public consumption. That was a private conversation I was having with Elvis. That was like a text message. We make grammatical mirrors, grammatical errors in our texts all the time. That's not a forum to be ratically correct. And you took it

and you made it. You put it on as if it was Yeah, of course you took it as if I made that as a tweet or an Instagram post or a Facebook post. That wasn't on, That wasn't originally in public. That was a private message from Elvis, from me to Elvis. But you wrote a lot as one word. But all right, I'm sure, Mr Grammar. Look look at your freaking typos and everything. Absolutely, you don't speak grammatical because you're saying it was just a typo. Yeah, I know,

I know a lot as too. Okay, sure enough. Play the clip, which one the one that says grammar police, scary three, Bobby Green. Oh, it's on the other page. It's on the clips page.

When in New England, we went to Boston, were there on the fourth of July.

Didn't watch the fireworks even though we were right there. Then we went to New Hampshire and then we went to Portland, Maine. Portland, Maine is a great talent.

Yeah, I said, No, that's not my fault. The designs bad, I said, because you can't take the glass off and place to go as I cut my cheek. So now you owe me for band aids and six months free service. No, there's plenty of those stories in here on my on my list.

Hold on, there's my my big list of stuff, all right. So we went to England. So the hotel we stayed at in Portland, we check in and we have an a d A room. Yes, that's Americans with Disability Act official room. It's been you'd call it a handicap room old school. Now it's called an a d A A compliant room, meaning so the floor, the whole the floors are really wide. So from the bed to the ledge where you put your stuff, it's a huge space. From the club to my homies from the obviously for a

wheelchair to fit, which is fine. And the bathroom is a handicap bathroom, which means it has a roll in shower with like a huge fold down seat, and all the shower heads are low and it's you know, you can adjust them, but it's and the toilet is lower. It's it's designed really for people who need a service. So first of all, I don't want to take a room like that from somebody who needs it. And second of all, I really want a regular shower with glass doors.

And you know, because otherwise it's a curtain. You're getting the floor wet, you get the bathroom floor wet. I've I've done that. It doesn't work for me. So I called down. I said, say, listen, we didn't book an a D A room. Can you please get us. Now here's the kicker. When we get there, the woman, the girl, uh name was among their name? Come on, you don't want to out her, all right? It was it was Donna. So Donna says, um, you have two rooms booked. So

my wife says, uh, yeah, but I canceled one. Well you didn't get both of them, so I said, it is same. Yeah, they're exactly the same. Yeah, all right, we'll cancel one and whichever one is the bet of you. She's yeah, i'll just cancel this. We give you that one. Okay. So we get upstairs. I called it. I said, hey, Donna, we got a handicap room. She says, oh, okay, So can I get the other room that we had a minute ago? We had two rooms we just sold that

already were sold out. Now, no, no, no, no, no, Donna, I don't want a handicap room. I said, I gotta have, you know, non handicapped room. But I said I would prefer it. Okay. So she says, well, let me check with my manager. Okay, Tanya. I said, okay, go check with Tanya. So she's I hope I can hold and I shall clear it back causing back in like six seven minutes. Yeah, there's nothing we can do. Sold out,

so I said. So I said, listen, I'm looking down your hallway and housekeeping is cleaning all these rooms that are empty. Okay, those people haven't shown up yet. Why should they get the rooms? But we didn't get the room. You canceled the good room, the regular room. Right, very very observant of you. You called them out on the bush. I said, so give the handicap room to somebody who's

not here yet, maybe they won't complain. You had proprietary information, he said, I'm here first, and I had a non handicapped room. You chose to cancel that one and leave me with the handicap I asked you if they were the same room, and you said, yes, they're not. Okay, she's all right, I'll call it back. Doesn't call me back. I called downstairs because the tub is lower right, No, it's flat, there's no there's no lip. So if you if if you use the shower, you can slip you

walk out. Then you need the handcap rooms. So I get, I get Trish on time. By the way, was it on discount? No, the handicapone. So I get, I get tell you on the phone. And I said, look, I'm in the room now. It was close to forty minutes. I said, my was one chair in the room, which my wife is sitting in. I said, I'm not sitting on the bed, so I want to mess your beds up.

We're not using your toilet. We have to go to the bathroom because they're trying to keep the room where you could you know, re re rent it, you know, resell it, rere you book it. So it's uncomfortable. I'm standing here for a half our dirty five minutes, whatever it is. I said, you gotta get me a room. There's there's rooms everywhere. The place allows you with empty rooms. She says, well, let me see what I can do. I said, should I come down to the front desk. No, No,

it's okay. You stay there. How long do you have to stay here? I'll take care of it. And I said, you know what, I'll stay. Don't put me on hold. I'll stay right so I hear the Sometimes I think that an effect. Well, you know on phone taps, when we tell people where we're canceling their flights, we we just hit the keyboard, right, I'm thinking she's not doing ship. She's gonna tell me this, I said, listen. I said,

I gotta be honest with you. I feel like paying full price for this room when we had the other room. You guys messed up and booked us twice and then cancel the wrong room. You gotta help me out here, I said, So you can either leave me in this room with a discount we'll find me another room. All right, hold on, we have a room for you on the third floor with a better view and we'll be okay. Great then, yeah, as I said to I, go so,

I've been in this room a half hour. I gotta now take my luggage back downstairs, come back and get a key, go back up, I said. So, either get me the new room and we'll call it even, which I hate doing, or you can give me this room in a discount. But now it's getting out of hand. We didn't book the room. You made a mistake. That's on you. So as soon as I called the off and told him saw the empty rooms, well that's it. You have to have that knowledge going. Here's what I'll say.

My wife said to me she was a good job. I wish it didn't have to come to that, I said to I said to her, I said, you know, my you know, you know, you know how I live. People will mostly not do the right thing or the extra thing if it takes another little effort unless you push them. It's a shame. You shouldn't have to, but you have to otherwise you get stepped. Yeah, we're were

sold out. I'm so sorry because they're just used to that robotic like rolling over steamrolling over the custom people going okay, okay, okay, okay, right, yeah, no, I I see where you're coming from. You know you're not wrong there either. And I and look, I'm on vacation. I didn't want to get upset, I said to I said to my wife when I when the girls put me, I'll call you back. I said, this counted room or just a room. We're on vacation. She said, do me

a favorite, Just get the room you didn't want. You don't want free dessert. Had a clear with the wife which version of me should I be when of phone rings. At a similar situation with laziness, um went to a taco stand and one of the menu items was Catch of the Day, and um I said, yeah, I would like an order of the Barbara Cola in order of the Catch of the day. And she's like sitting there

like her eyes are rolling. Barbacoa is barbecue. Yeah, but it's it's like a pineapple pork, it's whatever they call it. That's in this case, it was like a pork pineapple thing. But Brodie, they're like, you don't have the catch of the day. It's it's one o'clock in the afternoon. You guys just opened up like an hour or two hours ago. Well, maybe they only caught one. That's the catch, catch catch of here's the catch. You're not getting the catch. So

she's like, yeah, we yeah, I don't. I don't really see it, you know. And and then she had her phone in her hand. She was texting her friend and like what this girl was like not wanting to be there. She was this is a girl who got lucky to get a job in a taco stand instead of her local fast food place, because you know, for the summer, it's a summer job type thing. But the zero effort. But here's the thing zero five. As I'm talking about it, and then luckily I went back in. I'm like, what

was the catch of the day. She couldn't tell me, but right but then she's like I said, She goes, yeah, because we have all this stuff here. We have these three items, these four types, and there's nothing here for the So as she's talking to me with about the catch of the day, her boss comes by and he overhears the conversation. He goes, catch of the day, You, I mean, we don't cut the catch of the day. He goes, of course we got the catch of the day.

I'm like, oh, through the window, because again it's a stand taco stands. She's inside the window. You can ask question. You're a street vendor, she's and it's a side of a building made to look like a street vendor. Yes, street vendor style to stand. Okay, you just stand. Are you really getting your fish catch of the day from a taco stand? I just wanted what it was and he goes. He goes, it's mahi mahi. And of course we don't have it over there because it's made special

and fresh every day. He goes, I got it over here in this side of the kitchen where I am. He goes, I'll make it. I'll get it for you. But two things now, First of all, does that mean everything else is not fresh because he's making this by hand? Or secondly, you're shouldn't you know where the fund the catch of the day is. If people are coming in every day asking for it, what you have to put it in an effort at your job. But she didn't

want him. It was the same situation, Brodie. She didn't want to make the extra effort to eat if it was a catching. Yes, I am a customer. I'm asking for the catch of the day. It's not in front of you, so you're just gonna automatically say no, how do you do that? The phone? The cell phone thing is reminds me. Was that a fast food place on vacation and the girl was leaning against like the counter down the back counter. Excuse me, can I get your phone number? She's why I want to text you that

I'm waiting for you. She's I don't know, she says, I'm sorry, like she was staring at her phone. How do you not see me? I'm standing there so f those people. Well, I gotta list a little little little tidbits I wanted to throw in about about the hotel. If you if you have a TV in a hotel and the remote doesn't have a sleep button, that's bullshit. If you don't have a sleep timer in a hotel where you want to fall asleep, but have the TV shut off, that's crap. We were in a hotel, same hotel.

You couldn't put the sleep timer on, so you had to turn the TV off. Because my wife wanted to go to sleep and I want to watch television, so I can't let the TV stay on if I fall asleep. Don't build a hotel unless you have an obvious button that says sleep timer. And don't buy the TVs that don't have numbers. She can't go directly to a channel. This freaking thing had a guide button, right, You had to scroll up and down. So even though I knew that the channel I won was was twenty three, you

couldn't just hit two three. You got to scroll down and the guide and hit the plus. Terrible, terrible. So f that um that was in Boston. That wasn't no, no, no, the main people that was fine, uh in Boston. That The subway there is called the T T Line. So my wife and I are getting off. We're going to Fanuel Hall and we're getting off the train and by the way, park Street. It's one of the stops, and the guys like next to pack Street Pack Street Pack,

Pack Pack Street Pack. Don't let him drive the train. We'll have pre recorded because if you're not from there, Pack is pack. I want Park Street. It shouldn't be that hard. I know it's an accent, all right. So we're got to get off. Now there's subway rules, there's train rules. What are the rules? People get off right, then you get on right when you get on a train like an elevator, stand to the side, let people get off, then you get then you get on. So

well that's common sense etiquette. So my wife and I were getting off. Now we stayed at the right the door opens, we stayed there right. We walk single file because we are professional commuters. So she I'm right behind her and we get off so that we're not like side by side. These two women maybe as a mother and a daughter, I don't know. They looked around the same age. I don't know whatever they're were. They're walking

on the train as we're trying to get off. They did not only didn't they wait, they're locked arms like arm in arm locked arms like Derri Hassins their froncorporated on the run and Shirley old reference reference right like they're doing a hole down. So now they are too with that two people wide blocking the hall entrance trying to get on. So normally my wife does not like when I speak out loud to people, but I knew I was right. So which we were trying to get off,

they didn't even turn sideways. How could they they were in an arm lock, right, so my wife had to like squeeze between the door and them to get off the platform. So I turned them and go, oh, don't unlock your arms or anything like that, and they looked at me like what. I don't know if they spoke English or not to say, I don't think they're from here. They looked like maybe they were from an Asian country, but they could be from here, but you know, it

could have been tourism. And fourth of July people are traveling. I get it. We're good, right, but don't Yeah, we're good, but don't walk arm in arms side by side to get on a train. So fuck you you too. I gotta cross that off. You're venting in the lobby of the hotel. Bertie's taking a giant. Shit. This is the this is your your way of feeling the relief after you've eaten a giant. I'm in the lobby of the hotel with the handicap room, which we got replaced, and

they have free breakfast the next day. So we're checking out. We have a luggage and we sit down and in the lobby there's like a counter with nice, nice free breakfast. I gotta say, nice free breakfast. And there's two guys who seemed like they're a couple and one of their mothers are sitting at the table. Your mother and the guys very loud. The one guy is very flamboyantly loud. Oh look at this picture. Oh look at this. Oh

look at my friend posted look at Okay. So he's looking at something and he says to his partner, look at this girl camping. And he says, am I seeing this right? Or is this an obstacle allusion? I have never that's grammar police. I have never heard optical allusion become obstacle allusion. I googled it. I couldn't find like anyone who wrote a blog and used it. Nobody obstacle allusion. Now it makes sense to me that an obstacle that didn't isn't what it should be might be an optical allusion.

I get it. I get why it works. But my my wife said to me, don't look over there. She knows me so well. She I was like to hear us. I heard that, look say an again. I said, podcast we um, We've talked about this a little bit on the Big Show, but I wanted to get your honest opinion about it, because you I don't think you've voiced an opinion about the rules of saving pool chairs. You get one. No, but do you even get to save it or do you have to be there and be

on it? You know what, it's becoming a It's becoming a thing at every every resort you go to where you get up at the as crack of dawn six seven in the morning, however earlier it takes, and it gets earlier and earlier every time in every place because people are now on a in a race, and you

get up early and you collect your belongings. Maybe you take an old baseball hat, your sun block, your sunglass case empty, and or some an old magazine or some ship and you're bringing in a beach bag and you go down to where the pool is and you go get the towels, and you set up the towels and you you put them out in the lounge chairs and you take one to three tops out of no four, are you even entitled to those two savings? It's like saving seats and how you do that and then you

go back to bed. No, you wake up at eleven o'clock in the morning, you no you don't save him for the day. No, No, at eleven am, I'm gonna come back and spend the day there. When did you save them seven am? No, you're fucking asshole. No, but isn't there a grace period of time you go to the bathroom on bread back? Then you then basically you're saying that you have to get the funk up at seven o'clock and sit your ass down there. We'll have kids and make them do it. I'm not ready. I'm

ready to go to the pool at nine o'clock. You'll be ready to look for a chair. Sorry, no, you don't get to do that. And you know what else you don't get to do. There's gotta be a towel rule. When you're done, take your fucking sweaty, wet, curled up towel and dump in the town. I'll tell you why. First of all, nobody wants touch your gross ass towel. Okay,

you're done with it, be a human being. The pool guy doesn't need to come over and clean up like your table, and a restaurant does need to come and clean up your towel. I'll tell you why that's a problem for me. Number one, I don't touch it. Number two, how do you know if that's not someone in the pool and that's their chair and that's the towel, they'll be right back. So a hundred chairs, people are done with that. They're done with those chairs. They're done. We're

done with the chairs. That's a problem. So you need to either fold your towel or leave an item, leave your sunglasses, leave a shoe, leave a slipper. By the way, you can't take if you have two flip flops, right, I'm assuming you do, unless you have a like a handicap problem. You one leg, I get it. Do you have two ft two sneakers? You can't put one sneaker at one chair and one sneaker another chair and make it like you saving. I can't do that either. You're

only one person. But yeah, I understand that you want to turn those chairs over so they want to show that it's empty by pulling your stuff off of there. That I agree with. But so I get out there to save a chair from myself at like eight o'clock and there's this woman, this real you know what I'm talking about? No, I don't. What do you mean? She was a yenta? Oh yeah, she was, you know the type. She was ballsy. She was probably from Brooklyn, Italian, might

have been Italian, maybe not sensing it. And she was like arguing with the pool boy, you're gonna do the voice just now. I saw you winding up, you went and then you changed that. You don't understand Italian. You got eighty it's your people, brilliant, funny people. Yeah them you I got eighteen paper coming here today. They're all my guests. Okay. So she laid twelve towels across twelve lounge chairs, and she's took three day beds which were double day beds behind it, and David day bed deal.

A real date is even worse because there's less of those. This bitch felt like she could take the fucking pool deck as her own and walk away and say I'll be back. Not only not only did she do it and get away with it because the pool boy and she tipped the pool point lost the fight because she argued, got in his face and walked away. During the course of the day, the weather wasn't so great, so only four or five people at any given point during the day ever, even showed up of her group, of her

fucking group, and she had eighteen chairs reserved. I talked about this slightly on the Big Show. I was so

angered by it. But I think you should have a right to get up at seven in the morning and reserve a sensible lounge chair or two for you and your partner, and you should be able to go back to bed or go to breakfast and at a decent hour, not two o'clock eleven o'clock show back up at the pool when everybody's coming to the pool, and and and and that's preserving a parking space and say, oh, I'm going out to dinner. So you don't even agree with that, No,

you don't think. Also, if they were out of chairs at this hotel wherever you are, I would absolutely by eleven by ten am the chairs were gone, I would absolutely sit down on one of her chairs. Absolut, freaking lutely. What where's your name? I don't see a name on here? Where is there assigned as as you can reserve chairs? Sorry, lady, I'm not moving on. This happened last year at a hotel where we were hanging out, and I was hanging out with um some friends of ours from the station,

and they went to go reserve the chairs. And they went back to the chairs about a half hour later, and and all this stuff was on the floor. It was another hotel and it was a day bed. The stuff was on the floor. I'm torn. How do you take your stuff? How do you take personal belongings? Yeah, you can't, you can't. Maybe the hotel moved it. Nope. Now where were they in the half hour that they put stuff down? Where they go? They're at the breakfast

with me? Fuck him? Fuck them hard. No, you want to go in the pool, fine, you can't reserve things. And then, because let's just about this whole conversation, because the guys who deserved no, because the guy who had lunch and now wants to use the pool, he's got no chairs because everyone else is at lunch. Now he should have gotten up early. Now, he shouldn't. He went to lunch. Your friends should have gone to lunch. Come back,

get a chair. Early bird gets to worm not no, no, no, your worm got cut in half and I get two worms. You're fucked. No, you're not taking the chairs and not reserving them. I will move your stuff. I will move it. I'll move You're not here, goodbye? I think no one's in the pool where these people go goodbye. So then how do you get how do you make sure that you get prime real estate? And seven am, that's what I'm saying. Give us seven no no, no, no, no no. Then get in the pool. Or give the pool boy

a hundred. He's give him money. Give money, dude, there's no doesn't make it right. There's no money that's coming out of your pocket to give to a pool boy. Okay, I said you should give money. I say, do you give anything. You'll find a reason to take money from the kid. I will go to the David. I will go to the kiddie pool, and I will steal the Adirondack chairs and slipt them over to the big pool. And then I'll sit in the Adirondack chair by the kids pool, over by the big pool. I'll find a way.

My brain is scrambled. I got a lot of unused jokes from last week and the week before. And then I have a rant. I have a I have a I have a rant. This one is gonna be This one's gonna be one of those where you go, remember that episode, what episode was that? Which episode was the episode with the broccoli it must have been ninety. I've been holding this one for three weeks then like a wet fart. Yeah all right. These are punchlines that were never used on the Big show that I wrote that,

Brody Rose. That's what I do. Primarily I had one. Yeah, where is it you want to do that one first? Ye might as well get that out of the way. By the way, here's good opportunity to keep talking about the why don't you line up your unused for this topic. It was the viral video that's out today as a matter of fact, of a Long Island man who's very short. Oh I don't want no short short, short, short guy

screaming and yelling at people. Okay, so delhi about Yeah, well so today's recording this on split must be bowling day. Should be bowling day. This man. The video starts in the middle of him yelling. He's five ft tall. And I looked on Twitter last night and Joe Pesci was trending that thought maybe he's dead. Thankful he's not. And Bagel Boss now, Bagel Boss is a huge bagel chain in New York area Long Island. The bagels good people.

I see Bagel Bosses trainings I click on Joe Pesci first, and then it's bagel Boss and Joe Pesci combot and it's five ft tall man and he's yelling that uh, and we don't have to play the sound. But he's yelling at the people filming him because they must have said to him, don't yell at the people behind the counter. And he was yelling, I'm sick and tired of women on on dating sites. They don't want to date me because some five ft tall I'm only five ft and

and I'm not making that up. He's And then someone said, nobody said that here. Don't call me a liar, because apparently what we missed was the woman behind the counter. No, she's gas bag and she smiled at him, and she thought that the smile was like, oh, here you go, a little man. But you know, I'm the people with the bagel boss. I'm sure did not do that. Yeah, well, so he went ballistic, right. What I loved about it was people were like a couple of guys, they were like, hey, man,

you need to keep quiet. Some guy in a light blue shirt gray pants goes, hey, stop yelling at those people. So he goes up to this much taller guy and chest ups him. He's like, you want to go outsidebro, you wanna go fight you right now? I'm not afraid of you because you're told he's looking up at the guy. A guy was like six ft, which is a football and this guy and this guy's like, uh yeah, like little Joe Petti guy. So the guy's like, I'm not afraid of you. You're not my boss, you know my father.

I'm not afraid you. Don't tell me to be quiet. So another guy off camera yells something like shut up man, like you're being like calm to funk and he goes you to shut the funk up? What are you gonna do about it? Well, he did something about it at some point. There's only so many people you can call out. Another guy in a blue shirt and gray shorts. It must have been like blue shirt gray charges him, grabs him by the face and neck and throws him to the ground and says, you'll shut the funk out out

like and then if sorry. Olivia the girl who was filming it, who, by the way, must be I'm sure he's listening to the Abstrand show every morning. He stopped filming for some reason. That was the good part. The point is he got a little lass kicked because he was like, we're gonna do him afraid of you, And the guy was like boom, it's like me going to Shaquille O'Neil saying I'm not afraid of You're gonna go outside, Take us outside, I said. On his way out the door,

they offered him munchkins. Elvis did not use that joke also, but for real, now, not a joke. The store, if you go in and mention the video or any bagel boss, they'll give you a free mini bagel. All right. We were talking about, um, where your secret stashes at the house? Where do you stash things? Like what's your secret spot in the house? So I said, uh, well Danielle stashes above her lip. You can always teach her about having

a mustad. Yes, um oh. We were talking about the is for cookie, right, We're talking about this this all right cookie right. But this was like a day or two after the big Spelling Bee where seven of the eight people who were the top eight people that tied for the spelling bee, seven of the eight were Indian And we were talking to Gandhi about why that is all thing? I said in Indian households. The is for capricius.

We can get to that, not cookie. Um oh. We were talking about people who won't sewing machines and Elvis was saying, how it's stupid nobody sews, and I said. He said, I hope I didn't offend anybody, and so I wrote, and if I did, I am so sorry I didn't do it. Cute. So then I wrote, which he did this joke, but I like it so much I'm gonna read it again. He said, I do like a good bobbin, which is throwing machine reference, also a

blowjob reference. Okay, um oh. Elvis Gandhi did his story about a new watch that you can wear and buzzes on your wrist when you eat bad food. So I said, oh, it must be the eat an Apple watch. Didn't get to that. Hyo. Here's one he wouldn't do on the air. But he laughed and he's like, I can't said them on the radio. We were talking about guerrillas that are smart enough to throw parties. I said, yeah, they go apes ship at their parties. Didn't get to that one.

That's great. Yeah, He's like, how do I say apes? I could use an ape. You know a set Rocky is in jail for beating up a guy. I said, oh, now he's a salt and battery Rocky. So then the story went, um, whatever, it's Oh, it's so bad. They're badly barely feeding him. They all he eats an apple a day. So I said, that must be why the doctor stays away. He didn't do it. Uh. Guy banging. Oh, we did a story about a caller said he's banging his hand. Guy's banging his hand. I, oh, he's got

an in his pants. We didn't get to that. That's never gonna happen again. I'm never gonna do that. You're not gonna do an ants in the pants? First? Great again? No, a guy banging his hands scary. You were talking about how you are you want to wear a tank top? Yeah, and I said, well, it's more like a wife beater when you wear it, but in your case it's I'll never have a wife beater because you never want to get married. White claw? What is white claw? Explaining what

white clawed? White claw is hard Seltzer. It comes into skinny white can and it's it's got liquor in it, and it can come in various flames. So you said refreshing Effrovention summer. Not a sponsor. Not a sponsor, they should right, And so you said it comes in a skinny white can and my jokes SODA's elvis. Oh my god, I didn't even see that. Didn't do that. One we

And we're talking about a couple that was they caught their significant other cheating at Disney and I said, oh, I hope they didn't get Mono rail. So that was it. Those are the jokes. We didn't get to that on All Winners. Those are the jokes people.

Cassie grit Savage wrote New York

City in Food Festival. Hey, I'm a huge fan of the Big show and of course a slice full life. I just bought tickets to see you guys at the New York City Wanted Food Festival Thursday October. Uh yeah, whatever that Thursday is. Um, we will be there um and Elvis will be signing copies of his book Elvis da Ran Where Do I Begin? And they want to make sure if we'll be there. I I personally will be in New York City at whoever that is in Manhattan. Please tell me Brodie will be there as well. Are

you going to be there about that? It's free food, right, yes, I appreciate for us. Um let's see here we have a listening in order up to number seven. Hey, I love the podcast, and I oh, I don't listen to the Big Show very much. I used to listen to The Big Show on my way to work about ten years ago, but my um habits have changed. Anyway. I remember one time someone flipping out because they can only spend six dollars a day on food, so they always use it to get a sandwich, and someone did something

to it. I didn't know who Brody was then, but now I think that was definitely him. At the time, I think the person who messed up with messed his sandwich up was Greg t because he licked it. I know he's your colleague and friend, but honestly, he is the reason I stopped listening to you guys on the Skip It, Skip It Good Baby. Anyway, it was me knowing the history. Now I'm so glad he quit the off air show. Which was the podcast Gregg he did

with I. That was me. That was the last podcast we did with I, and your epic show was born. So thank you Brody for taking a stand against the Jersey Kid. Thank you other listeners for protesting the thought of adding the Jersey Kid again. I know you like him, so I'm sorry to tell you, but I don't. I am someone who loves the podcast and does not listen to Oh my God, they hit him is anyway? Episode seven is what he's up to. Uh he thanks Great Tea for quitting the off air show because it helped

create this. Al Right, Well, I don't want to bash Great Team. He's a friend and whatever, and he's my old roommate. Uh. Note from Andy Bowser to the Brooklyn Boys face bow That's at the Brooklyn Boys on Facebook. Hey, We're also at the Brooklyn Boys on Instagram and at the Brooklyn Boys on Twitter. What do you know? Hey guys, I know y'all on vacation. Is my second email since then, the first one being that a bowling. That bowling is

in fact a sport. On that note, I gotta say again, it's gonna it's brody and scary because episode forty one. Double bunny ears is the easiest and quickest way to tie bows. So they agree with you, Brody, that bowling is a sport, and they agree with you on double bunny tie. When you tie your shoelaces, I go for the single bow with the wraparound and then the not pull rou but double bunny ears the way we learned in the first grade, I guess, is the way. A

lot of people like this guy and he still does it. Scary. Don't argue with Brody. He's always right good advice. Well so far, that's all I have. I still have a lot of episodes left to go. All right, what what episode we talking about that on? I don't know? And um I got one TWEE don't want to read from Ryan the ball. He's at Ryan Who with no K and then like a lot of a lot of numbers. So either he likes being called Ryan Who or forgot the K and has like seven or eight digits. I

don't know. Anyway, he says, I'm a slice and listen to the Big Show for years and really think you're one funny guy. He used the right yours, so that's why I'm reading it. It's very good, but I like, thank you Ryan, that's very nice. Oh special shout out to me. By the way, a little secret for you. Listen to the up Strand Morning Show next Thursday. Uh, last hour of the show, Scary. We are running a fifteen minute morning show that we recorded a couple of

days ago. That's a good one. Now, the interesting thing about this is it's everyone who's normally on the show and me unless scary edits me out. You will hear that on the big show and it will sound like I'm part of the show. So I'm very excited about that. I told my mom is very proud of me. Right, so it's not like I'm on the show, but audio

that makes it sound like I'm on the show for real. Yeah, we'll be played on a week from today, which I don't know when you listen to this podcast, but that would be uh the nineteen right from tomorrow, so listen for that. It was a great conversation, it really was. Now Sarah so so we were so we riss ross Wow. Sorry Sarah, Uh, this is what you're going to do for me? Oh h my name is Sarah. I'm from Jersey and I have a favorite ask of you. Two. My brother and I are huge fans of the podcast

where Slices for Life. His twenty eight birthday is coming up on July four, and I know you guys don't do birthdays anymore and Brodie hates them, but I know it would be I'd be He'd be so happy and surprised if you would give him a shout out on your next podcast. Eater Swiss, Happy birthday July four to you. I love Peter, but here's the problem. We're not doing anymore after Peter. Second of all, next episode, you're gonna have to wish some happy birthday again because he didn't

say his name right, Peter sweet Rist. I gotta Penis Swenas Catherine says, uh moving to benson Hurt, I'm a truth life. I'm a true Slice for Life moving to benson Hurst next week. However, I could use some help. I've lived on Long Island my entire life, and though my parents were born and raised in Brooklyn, I'm not as familiar with that area since you both grew up there. I was wondering if you had any advice for me, tips on good and play, to get food, things to

do nearby. I trust you both have valuable and straightforward input. Anything helps. Well, you're moving to Benson hurt. You gotta go to Ellenb's mimory guards for Pezza. That's gotta be your first stop. I'm gonna say scary. Weill email you privately, says no. Nationally, people aren't caring where we're gonna tell people to go eat and drink. At some point people are gonna visit Brooklyn, all right, but not the part

of Brooklyn we're from. All right, I will email, We'll both come up with And finally, j Lee wants to talk about his name. Uh Lovo your podcast I started from zero, got a bones? Spell it j a E? Here comes episode. Just listen to it. You made fun of the guy at CVS whose name is j j a E. My name is j j A E and I'm Korean. Koreans have a very common name, which is j I know, but it's usually short for something. For example,

my full name is jahoun. For non Koreans, it's easier just to spell it j a E, which sounds like ja and Korean and it's not pronounced like J though, but we really don't know how else to spell it. J A E is the closest English spelling to our Korean name. So he's saying it's jaw or something or jack. This guy was jazz Jack. Now, if that CDs guy is not Korean, I really have no idea why he spelled his name j E. That should really just be for reserve for Koreans. So this person wants to j

E earmarked. Only you can't do that because somebody wants to spell their name differently than the usual. I'm I'm not going to confirm, nor did I if this gentleman was Asian at the CVS, but I don't know what country he may mean I have been from. He was American, Well I care about he wouldn't give me my damn mutic next, but Bertie did steal a grape soda on the way out and say that woman was Chinese. I

got one more unused joke. I used the joke, but it didn't It didn't get the reaction I wanted, so it was really clever. You want the music back? No, So my wife and I went to a seafood place, Luke's Lobster. Great spot you've been. They have the best lobster roll that we had the whole weekend manager came over, is like everything okay. I was proud to say, everything is fantastic. We got a seat upstairs with on the window looking out. They're so good. They have outposts in

the state area. Yeah, they have a they have a truck also during Chicago and Vega. But this is I think the original anyway. So we get a table right against the window, and the window it's a dot. It's on the pier, so the window faces uh. To the side is the next pier, while the boats are lined up and behind and to the behind me. As it were, you could see the bay. Beautiful view of the bay. As we came up the staircase. The table right behind us was also a table for two right, and the

woman was facing the bay. The man was facing the wall in the restaurant. So inland, the woman was breastfeeding, she had the boob bout, and the baby was was going for his for the little lemon butter sauce. Okay, it's fine, it's natural, it's beautiful, Okay. I of course I'm with the wife, so I can't even like think about looking. Not that I would look, but I don't want to even like look. And it was so the waiter was like trying to not make a shoot. He

was looking in her hat the whole time. You were a little hat, so it's not to look down. But she was comfortable. She was like, whatever, my boobs out. Whatever, right, Okay. So we get to the table which is next to them, right in a line along the wall. My wife says, where do you want to sit? Which chair? So I said, I'll leave it up to you, the bay or the baby. And she says, that's not funny. I said, you take the bay, I'll take the baby. Just you're not gonna

stare at that woman breastfeeding. I said, whatever. So now I gotta, I gotta, I gotta. I gotta tell you what happened. We're moving on. I gotta tell you what happen to the Chinese restaurant. Go for it. Get get the music ready right now? Okay, So I have to drive. We have we have everybody has multiple Chinese restaurants. So because you're like, oh you like this, thish hear you like that? This year, my wife and kids decide, uh two of my kids are home and uh no, my

veget arian daughter was home. All three of my kids are home for this weekend. Okay, the impossible one. Yeah, I'm just saying what vegetarians are usually a little bit more complicated. Don't don't get in trouble. I'm not gonna get your trouble. So they all give me the order. I call it in. And my daughter only wants steam broccoli because this place makes the best steam broccoli. How you make I don't steam it, and it comes up before you tell me this butter on it. She doesn't

eat butter. She's vegan, so she just wants steam broccoli, and and it comes with a little sauce on the side. She loves the sauce to it. So I order pan fried noodles. Of course, you know, no vegetables. Rotolo may no vegetables the sky. And I ordered like two large white rice because and then some of the dishes come at white rice. I never keep tracking how much white rice I'm getting, so because I don't, some places give you white rice with the dishes, and they don't, I

just go give me a couple of extra white rice. Whatever. So I drive it's like twenty five minutes to get to this Chinese restaurant. I drive there, I pick up the order, I get home and no one's home okay, except my vegan daughter. The other two, my wife and two kids, are not home yet. So I'm like, you know what, my veg My vegge daughter is sleeping the vegan. I'm gonna make it easy for everybody. So I get all the food out on the table, and I opened up a couple of containing I go with the big

white containers. That's the white rice. I write white rice on it, and I write pan fried noodles. And some of the containers are clear, like tall tall containers. Some of them are flat with a plastic lid. Right, that's the pan fried noodle meats, okay. And then there's the the low main is in the white the white box with the They still do that, the white box with the handle on it, the right right. However, when you go to p F. Chang's, there's no metal handle. Men.

They figured out a way to do it with no handle, and you can microwave and it's brilliant. I don't know why everyone doesn't do this smart anyway. So I lay everything out and my daughter comes down and she says, where's the broccoli? I go, what do you mean? I don't know. It's got to be in them somewhere in the bag. I don't know. She's looking. She looks at everything, doesn't see the BROCOLI do you remember taking the broccoli out.

I don't see the broccoli. Okay, that's gonna be a problem here, Okay, okay, real quick, Okay, so everything's labeled. I go, I don't see that. I don't see the broccoli. So she says, well, that's so anything I want him was broccoli, and it's about okay. So I called, I said, I said, so, I said, I said to my daughter, I said, you know what, there's three Chinese restaurants right around here. I'll go get your steam broccoli. No, it's got to be the steam broccoli from this place, because

they have the best steam broccoli. I'm home from college. It's all I wanted. I go, Okay, I can't. I can't go back minutes. It's right, it's almost an hour round trip. If I get they're gonna WAITCLI comes out the same way where you do it at home restaurants. Now, this is the place of you listen in order. This is the same Chinese restaurant where had the problems on Christmas. And by the way, you're a glut for punishment for going back there. I didn't go okay, No, they keep

going back. So I called the guy back. You're asking for trouble. I called the guy back, and I get a guy on the phone who his English is not great. Okay, And I said, look, I ordered. There's no broccoli. Uh not as broccoli. There's there's no broccoli here, there's broccoli. Listen. I didn't call you up to tell you there's no BROCCOLI's broca think I'm lying? There's broccoli and there you

think I'm lying about the broccoli. You think of all the fifteen twenty dollar items I bought, I'm lying about the six dollar broccoli or eight dollar broccoli was eight dollars. This guy's got caller ID he knows that you call. Yeah, okay, like this guy. This guy again. I'm in the book I get like free stuff because they write it down. Yeah, they know you were calling. So I said, look, you one, I was going to answer the phone. I said, look, I can't come back, but my daughter's night is ruined.

You got to give me a refund on the broccoli. Doesn't sound like you were too upset though, No, No, I had to walk out on the deck because I was getting fumed. So I'm out on the back deck. I'm like, listen, but who are you even more pitched at your daughter for orders at versus anywhere else? Actually just said go somewhere else. I was like, So I said, look, I'll figure it out. I can't come back. We'll bring it to you. I'm too far away. I just want to steam broccoli and you don't have it. I just

give me a refund. We can't give you a refund. It's in the bag, dude, it's not in the bag. I'm looking at everything here. You got the lomaine and the pan fried noodles and the fried rice and the veggie dumplings and the whole thing. I'm going through everything. Okay, he says, hold on. The boss gets on the phone. Hall okay, So what happened? I ordered all this stuff. I spent like seventy bucks. Whatever it is. I just want a credit for the broccoli for next time. And

and truthfully, you gotta make it up to me. What is We'll take it off your order at like it goes no first things to go. It's in the bag, I said, I ordered, Sorry said, first of all, I ordered a small one time to jump sup. He gave me a lodge. I don't want to pay for the lodge because I only wanted small. He says, we record the phone calls. You ordered a lodge. I said, listen, guy, I said you didn't. You can't. I said, you don't record phone calls. Stop it. That's what you tell people.

You didn't record the calls. I pay it back for you. No, no, I know what was that? What was that? Actually? What would you say? You could do accents? I do British accent. I did not say. I did not say it that way. You know. I'm trying to get the call out of my head and just tell you the story. So he says, we have it on tape. I play you order a lodge.

I said, look, I'm not gonna get into this with you on the soup, but I want a refund for the broccoli, and truthfully, I would like a credit in addition to the refund, because my daughter has no meal your room entire evening. So he says, hold on, we filmed in the kitchen. What video tape the kitchen? No you don't, he says, I'll go watch the tape right now. I said, dude, it's broccoli. Just credit me the broccoli. If it was here, I would tell you what a

bunch of petty people. So I said, you're gonna go check a video tape because you don't believe I'm gonna call you a lie about broccoli. I said, what kind of container was it in? He said, goes, I'm gonna go watch the tape. I go, was it in a white container of plastic container? He says, I'm gonna go check it. He just should be plastic, okay, So he goes, he puts me on hold it close back. I just watched the tape. He put the broccoli in. It's on there.

He put the broccoli in. I go, well, I don't know who stole the broccoli out of my bag, but there's no broccoli in the bag the ad. I go, I go, look, listen, the bag is empty. There's no broccoli. Okay, this sauce. There's no broccoli. You must have a broccoli laying around. So he goes, you know, your regular customer. But I don't like that. You're you know you're it's on the tape. I go, it's not in the bag. You owe me the refund and a broccoli next time

I come. And I'm sorry, there's no surveillance on this ship video, I said, the next time I come too, I said. He goes, he's listen. I'm looking at the guy now he's putting the broccoli in the bag. I go, what kind of restaurant did you run when you film the people? He goes, so in case someone says it's not in the bag, I go, so, you have a camera good enough that you know you could see it's broccoli. You could see it's subroccoli, not something else. It's definitely broccoli.

He says, the BROCCOLI's in the bag. I said, sir, I will never come to your Chinese restaurant again if you don't give me a refund. But it's broccoli, he says, So for us, I go, oh, ship, what if? He says, don't come back? They have the best egg rolls. I'm like, don't blow it, he says, I because you come here all the time. I don't want to make it upset. He's I'll give you a refund. He's the BROCCOLI's and I don't know what happened, but I'll give you a

refund and a free broccoli next time. I'm fine, fine, free broccoli. Fine like I So then I sat on my door to look, I'm not going I already spent eight bucks on your broccoli. I'm I'm not going back down. I'll go to the local place. So I go to the local place. They want eleven dollars for it. I'm like,

motherfuck eleven dollars from the grape soda people. So I'm like, oh, they're getting revenge on me because because I got the grape soda for freaking you pay on the back end, on the back I never want to hear again how I got the grape soda free eleven dollars for steam broc that's it on that, that's that's a fucking that is awful, awful dollars. No garlic, butter, nothing, It's a side dish kicking a broccoli, no chicken. That broccoli comes with the meal. It's not a My daughter is the

anti met no meat, dude. Hold on dollars, Hold on four dollars with the most hold on broccoli. Hold on, I go home. How which is broccoli by the parent? I don't know, not even family. Hold on, hold on, I'm gonna need the music. I get home now my whole family's home, and so I'm like, you know what, I won the battle. My daughter's eating the broccoli. She's like, it's not the greatest broccoli, but okay. So my family comes home and I say to my little one, here's

what you ordered. And I said to my middle daughter, here is uh, here's your lomaine, your chicken, lomain, no vegetables. She didn't like rose pork right now. And I go, here's your white rice. So I'm sitting up my plate and she says, Dad, uh, there's something wrong with the rice. I said, what's wrong with the rice? I gotta called back to play something with the rice. She says, the rice is green. They gave me moldy green rice. Says no, Dad, you wrote white rice on the box, but it says

broccoli on it. Fault broccoli box box. I wrote you. I know after all that the broccoli was in the white rice. So I guess what. He does have surveillance. He did have a tape. He saw them put the he's the problem, and he does have a recording of what you said. So he has the real problem. The real problem is and she doesn't want to show her face at this fun. Hold on. So my wife says to me, you gotta call him back. Don't make me

call him back. So she says, you yelled at him for twenty minutes about free desert and a bonus and a refund, and your dumb asser wrote white rice on the box. I said, there were three white rices. I picked one up on I looked at I looked at it. I must have looked in one closed and grabbed the pen and then picked up the wrong one and wrote white rice on it. Brodie for a guy so smart sometimes you really so Now I have to figure out what the story's gonna be. So I called the guy

that I was gonna show you. How do you? So? I called the guy back. I don't say anything except I'm sorry I did, I said, sir, listen, Hi, it's David again. Hello, listen, I'm really sorry about before. It was very kind of you to offer me the refund and the free growing. I said, you know your videotape film there, you said you brought now in fairness, he did say he thought it was in a plastic container. He did say that, which was why I didn't go back and double check. I said, so you were right,

about the broccoli band in the bag. Oh yeah, what happened? I said, I must have fallen out in the car and when I packed the bag, I didn't realize that I went out to the car. I was in the car. Now he was like, ah see, I told you. Now part of me is thinking if he knows the broccolis at the bottom of the bag, and he knows, I'm fucking lying. So now I'm like, he thinks I tried to steal the broccoliers, and now you're trying to You
