#98 Parties, Paying, Pepper Spray & Paranoia

hands all fingerprints all over the day. I know I'm tired this week, but I'm still tired from from being in Santa Favaluable because we we got in late on Sunday. I don't know what time you got in I got. I got in like five o'clock in the evening, which wasn't enough time for me. I got I needed. I needed more sleep than I ended up getting. I made a huge mistake. I made two mistakes. So my flight was eleven fifteen on the Santa Fe time, which is

one fifteen here. And what I should have done was driven my car from Manhattan, where our studios are, to the airport New Jersey parked it there because for eight nine dollars a day for five daystars plus tax fifty bucks, I could have parked my car, but instead you make things so difficult for Instead, we were all like, oh, let's uber to the airport. So a bunch of us uber to the airport costs me. You were not to

get to the airport. Fine, I'm gonna talk about the airport later in the plane and the and the terrorist scare that I had. Um, but coming home harrorist scared. I'll explain. I tweeted about it. I guess you didn't see it. Um. So we landed like seven thirty in New York, and the other four people I was traveling with all lived in the same area and they took an Uber and I was by myself. So I had to take an Uber back into Manhattan from New Jersey to get my car in the garage parking to go

back out. So I paid for the uber into the city, and then I had to pay for you know, I had to go to my car. It was a bit home big. I got home at ten third. A man who's so smart gets shrew It gets worse, it gets worse. So I get off the plane at seven thirty. Well, no, we landed seven fifteen or seven ten. We sit on the runway for forty five minutes because the gate is occupied. The plane at the gate we want isn't leaving yet

for whatever reason, it hasn't pushed back yet. They haven't, they haven't requested a push back, and they couldn't give you another gate to pull. Well, that's what I was saying. It's not like, oh, the gate we want was that the best gate had to have that gate, Hey, gate thirty nine. It's worth waiting for, no, So we wait. I almost I say, excuse me, forty five minutes and we finally get to the gate. So now it's after

eight o'clock. We go to the baggage claim. It's almost eight thirty by the time I get my bags and I look at uber and I look at left that who services. It's thirty thirties forty nine dollars to get home from the airport to my car if I take regularly, cause yourself a lot, a lot of additive for no reason. So it's thirty one dollars eighteen dollars less to do Uberpool.

So I said, you know what, Uberpool, if they're all going to my area where we work, where my car's parked is almost right outside the tunnel that connects New Jersey to New York Holland Tunnel for those of you who know. So I thought, all right, if we uberpool, I'll be first. I'll be the first one out of the car, so who cares of other people get in the car. So I call it uberpool and it says to be there in four minutes or seven minutes, and it just has to pick up Janice first. So I okay,

the seven minutes. Five minutes later, seven minutes tof to pick up Janie, and I see the car in the map. It's not moving, so I called. I called. The guy goes right to voicemail. I text them, I go, hey, Alonzo, you've been seven minutes for like ten minutes, are you coming? Never responded back to me, so I realized Alonzo, it

was waiting for Janice. But I guess he was waiting for a third person so he can fill up his car because I was so that's what uberpool is, right, So he was never coming until you get another person. So I canceled it and I got Chris. Chris shows up with two other people, an Asian boy and an older woman. I'm only saying that's you know who's who in the story, and he's wearing a Dallas cowboy's shirt, so he's he go getting the car. Uh. He opens the trunk for me and doesn't help me with the luggage.

Travel hold on, I have to put the luggage in myself. Fine, okay, most uber drivers are Oh, they're happy to help you with the luggage because the stars right there. So then I go to close it myself. There's no button, there's no like button for it to auto close. So I I take it and I do like a wheel a fortune spin and I go to clothe. He goes, don't close the door, don't close the trunk. I mean, but I've already pushed so it's already closing. He goes, hey, man,

I tell you not to close it. Sobody's got like an attitude. So I go why. So then he takes the luggage off of the older woman's lap that she was carrying because he didn't help her either, and takes the luggage and goes, because I got a bag. Well I didn't know that, Chris. You asked what his Dallas cowboy sweatshirt. That should have been a clue. No offense. So we get in the car. He goes, just all right, we were off. Just want to let you know the

Dallas Cowboys one today. And he goes on and you would give a ship that the Dallas Cowboys one York. So I said, hey, Chris, do you thank god? I couldn't breathe on the plane worrying if the Dallas Cowboys one today. Making a joke, he says, why you're a Giants fan? Quarterback sucks. I go, I'm not a Giants fan. Man. The whole car ride was him arguing me about football and how how he wants to go back. And I

will say that the Dallas Cowboys look really good this year. Yeah, But then he starts talking about how he hates New York. He doesn't like New Yorkers, he can't wait to move back. He lives in the farm, really earning his tip. He lives like thirty miles outside New Jersey, like outside the city, in the farm. And so I was like, you know what, terrible? So then we drops me off. I'm third, right, no, I'm second. So he drops me off. I tell him

stop here in the corner. I don't want him to go around at three like a writer writer, right, I just go stop me if y'all walk. He goes, I thanks, doesn't open the trunk for me and doesn't get the luggage out because you're a big burly man. Yeah, big burly so you know. So I chinched a little bit on the tip, A little bit again, five bucks whatever.

But then I gave him five stars because I was mistakenly under the impression he would see my review and then give me a band of That's where you're wrong. It's a double blind situation that you don't he doesn't know what you're gonna give him. You would told me that he like years ago. True, though I was so tired from the trip, he will not see what you gave him. Should have given him the three stars for not crashing. That's it, overpaid and I got home eleven o'clock.

You are an absolute I don't I don't know. You're an impossibility to travel with. Just listen about how I would be different. Okay, just listen. Here's no no enough. Could you cut the word bougie out for a second, okay, because you're really pissing me off. When it comes to traveling, isn't isn't it most important to get from point A to point B with the path of least resistance, Yes, but it was eighteen dollars. So first of all, you chose Uberpool when you could have chosen just regular Uber.

Get yourself a regular Uber X. It's not a bougie car, it's still a Honda Civic, but it's your own. And so isn't that worth the price you really wanted to pay that? Okay? How much money did it cost you? I told you ears is it really worth the eighteen dollars? And I started thinking about what I could buy with eighteen dollars, and I thought, but that's where you're wrong, That's where your brain is over and there's a reason

I wanted to save the eighteen dollars. Um. On the way home, I had purchased a bottle of wine at a at a wine store in Santa Fe. From my wife, you can't look at it like hold on, hold on, I have. I don't look at it like what I haven't done. You haven't tell you the story yet. I know where you're going. Okay. So we got back to

the hotel room. I wanted to clean up my room a little bit, so I put the wine bottle in my backpack right because my I hadn't packed my suitcase yet, so I was like, oh, I just put it in the backpack for now, just so stuff that I didn't want to have it to sit now. So I forgot about it. Got to the airport and and this is weird that this the New Mexico airport's like a post office. It's tiny. There's like a little a vis counter, a

little snack counter like torrensic whatever. It's really small. Yeah. So there's one little check in. There's no one online to get in. I've never in any airport have this happened to me. They go, okay, empty your laptop. They take your laptop out, which everybody does. Take your shoes off, right, only like every other person that take their shoes off. You got a little card right that said because I have t s A pre check. But they handed me a purple card that it's the don't you don't have

to take your shoes off. So they do that in smaller airports, by the way, because for t s A pre checks, because shoe bombers aren't going to a little airports. I guess so because I'm t s A pre I've been right right, yeah, yeah, right, okay, that's that. I am very anal when it comes to getting my my stuff ready to go. When I get to the the check in line, my shoes, I have the loot laces loose. I popped them right off. I don't wear a belt my pockets. Try and make it as easy as my

pockets already empty. I put all my money in a little plastic sandwich bag. I'm good to go. And I looked down upon people who are like, oh, they wear boots, except for the fact you tried to bring a bottle of Except that. So the woman says, I need you to take all your snacks out of your bag. No food, no food, So hold on, I'm taking my fig Newton's out, my Dorito's all my food. I'm like, I've never been asked, where have you gone when they asked to take your

snacks out of your bag? Okay, but that's not there's neither heat nor there hold on, so I go. You tried. You tried to board the fucking play I didn't remember the bottle of one was there. I'm usually really good. I would never do that, okay, but you did. Okay, so I have to go back. I have to go back out into this little airport with nothing so I go, what am I gonna do? So I go to the counter. I go, can I get my my suitcase back? No? Are you on the plane? Four and a half ounces

of liquid is all you get? I didn't try to sneak the bottle through. I forgot it was there. Okay, But you're telling me the rules the case. Then why didn't you put it in your suitcase and let it because I forgot it was in my backpack? You're not listening to the podcast. Back it up and listen to it. Okay, So what do you do with that? Okay? So I started thinking, like what can I do? I had like three minutes. I had three It stop for me. I had three minutes to drink this forty dollar bottle of wine,

which was fifty two dollars after tacks. So I can't put it back in my bag. Nobody else is traveling with us that hasn't checked the bag yet. So I go to the Avis counter. I said, hey, I'm looking for a good Samaritan. I need help. Well, what's the problem. I have this bottle of wine. I can't take it on a plane. I have no way to put it. I don't live here. Is there any way you could tell me if this someplace I could ship it, Like, is there any place here that ships? Can you help me?

He says, well, we have FedEx account I'd probably ship it for you. We have blank FedEx labels. I said, oh great. He was I'll tell you what. You fill out the FedEx label and I'll pack it up and I'll ship it for you. Like wow, what a nice guy. The Midwest. They're nice out in the Midwest. In New York. The guy was like, oh yeah, I'll take care of it for you and drink it good. So he says, I'll ship it for you. So I look at the check boxes and my options and it's like overnight, a

hundred and thirty dollars. This is all the prices, and then it says three day air by three day airs, great, no problem, three day air to my house. So I'm like, I don't care how much it costs at that point because I think a three day air, how much could it be? So I get on the plane. I felt the form. I get on the plane and while I'm sitting there, I look at my phone and I Google it, and I go into the FedEx website and it says he had tracked your bag. How much does it cost?

And I put the proximate weight in and it says thirty one dollars. Thirty dollars to ship it three day to a business, but to ship it to your house thirteen dollars. So I called the guy back at Avis in Santa Fe in the airport and I say, hey, man, ship it to my home wasn't an option. But can you tell the FedEx guy when he comes that I want to ship it to my home. To just write that in and charge me thirteen dollars. He says, I

had no problem. So now the Uber I was thinking, I I wasted thirteen dollars because of my funk up. If I save eighteen on uber pool, I'm even so the penalty won't be money. The penalty will be might see what you're doing, but you can't look at life like that. I was looking for some tent, you know, but I don't like you funk up your stuff for a loss your I so I took my loss in time to take your lumps. I took my loss in time,

I know. But here's how else you lost? You Still when they finally landed ended up back at the radio station. This is why you suck, Brodie, because you still then had to drive home from the radio. That's right to me the way I I just want the easy way. But I would have had to drive home hath at least resist. Yes, the morning of my flight, on my way to work, I uber into work right now and

with the crowd the whole way. And then on the back end of the trip, when I landed the airport, all I gotta do is uber to my goddamn house, right, I don't have to go with the radio. Okay, but you live right outside the city. But even I don't, Baba ba live in Jersey. No, I have a much more expensive uber ride from my house to get into city. The airport from New Jersey to your house cheaper. But you Okay, my mistake was not driving to the airport. That was my mist We work in New York City, Yes,

my my driven to the airport instead. You're gonna uber in Manhattan just to get your car to drive back to Jersey. And that's what I did. Makes no sense, Okay, I should again, I should. What I should have done was I should have driven everybody to the airport, have them chip in for the gas. And tolls and pay help pay for my parking would have cost me ten bucks. And okay, but here's the kicker. Here's the kicker. It's Thursday. When I flew home Sunday. Guess what hasn't been charged

on my credit card yet? The FedEx FedEx wine. They haven't shipped the wine yet. I think I'm fucked. Did he did you call him? I called it? What's today? Thursday? I called him Tuesday? I said, hey, hey, man, was he drunk? He said no, no, he says, yeah, right, he says, I'm taking it home. On my way home. I'm gonna drop it off at the FedEx place. I got you back, man, I said, well, don't forget to ask Hi about the thirteen dollars. No problem. That was Tuesday.

I keep checking my credit card. Nothing. Well. I had a similar situation a couple of years ago with Hurts where they my jacket was left in the car after I returned it. And that was in UHCT. This is why you sucked to travel with no no, no, no, I left my jacket. I got home. I called the Hurts rent a car guy and he says, oh, I found your jacket was in a blue blue hoodie. It's my jacket, not the goose one. No, it was just a blue jacket. And they they they said, yeah, okay, good,

we'll FedEx it out to you. I'm like, oh, you're the best good sumarity, right, I never saw my fucking jacket. In fact, in the days that show. Later I called to follow up, they started like throwing me to the next guy, like, oh, no, it wasn't me, it was this guy. Oh yeah, Oh I don't know. I didn't find no jacket. And then they exclaimed whatever, yeah they did. It was that kind of hurts place. So anyway, the only one who got hurt. Yeah. They kept promising me

they were gonna FedEx me my found jacket. Here I was with a glimmer of hope that somebody who was gonna come to my rescue. But her, it's just the number one car rental agency AVIS is number two. They try harder, well, try harder and get me my bottle of wine. You fox, it's it's it's five days. I think your wine is going the way of my jacket. You're not gonna see that ship. And by the way, accounting Sunday before you're like, it's only four days it's almost five. You let me know I need an update

on when um my bottle of wine arrives. Your bottle of wine arrives. Yeah, and you know what sucks because my wife couldn't come to the wedding, so I felt head. So I was like, I'll bring it a bottle of her favorite type of wine. This will be great. Yeah. No, I got no wine. Got no wine. And I'm like, I got you something that's just on its way. You have, But but yesterday she goes, did you really get me anything? You have? You have something to keep the wine in though. Absolutely.

He came along with his stylish insulated drink wear and the world has never been the same since. Whether it's beer, wine or spirit, Broommate makes sure every ship is the perfect temperature.

Now we haven't even spoken about the wedding itself. You're just talking about getting to and fro, but I haven't even we haven't even covered the two. Later on, I'm gonna tell you about how I was terrified on the plane because we flew on nine eleven and it made me

my mind just go crazy. But let's talk about the wedding. We'll get what a beautiful, what a beautiful affair, mel Elvis Duran for those of you who don't didn't know. We went to Elvis's wedding this past weekend and it was colorful, unreal, he said, beware colorful clothing. And by the way, I wore purple shoes. You can see him on my Instagram at David Brody and you wore purple tie.

We coordinated. It was a Day of the Dead themed wedding, and of course with you know, you could google what the tree in the tradition is there, but all we could say is that everything was on. It was like a wedding on steroids. It was. It was a sensory overload from the from the word go, no stone left unturned, every every detail, the most incredible centerpieces for the the worl the ceiling they took because you saw the picture.

Who should put the picture up? Mike? If you go to Mikey Russo, m I K I E y no, it's I think it's I'll look it up. If you go to Mikey Russo, who's the wedding plan and go to his page he put up before and after with him. Oh yeah, Mikey Russo is one of the top wedding planners in the country. There's a lot of celebrity weddings. In fact, he was just on the Jonas Brothers tour plane because he he did he arraigned some party for Danielle Jonas, one of the wives, and so he was

all his pictures. So you want to see what it looks like. But we didn't post the photo bomb picture. We should put it up at the wedding planner. Who a guy who behind the whole spell Mikey Russo on on his Instagram. Hold on, I'm looking for it. By the way, you google Mikey Russo on Instagram and all these dudes show up. That's why I said. It's like, yeah, I'll find him. But anyway, it's m I K I E are U S S O. I know I spelled it and my K and I. Well anyway, yeah, don't

get the wrong Mikey Russo. Anyway, So this empty he took this giant empty room and they carpeted it. They put these wrought iron walls up that that had like skulls in them. The whole day to dead, the whole dance floor was was painted hand painted to be like skulls and Max Elvis's dog. Anyway, if you started with the key. The hashtag was Alex and Elvis zero one night and you'll see all of our social media and whatever,

and it was just an amazing thing. But we were at people were asking like, are you guys are gonna sit together now? Um our web personally put up a thing like, oh, what table would you want to sit at? And she just randoed it. It It wasn't like the actual seating plant. To people like, how how come brody and scary on sitting together? Well, of course we were sitting together. But here's the thing. We were at table nineteen and I'm sorry, Table eighteen. There's a movie called Table nineteen

which scary of your girlfriend. Robin said, oh my god, we're a table nineteen because that's the movie. So I'll tell you once I tell you who was sitting with. So they were like three or four tables of morning show people, because there's like fifteen of us on the morning show. Plus almost everyone brought a date or or or a spouse, and so there's like table with everyone from the morning show, table with everyone from the morning show.

And our table was scary and and Robin, me and I came alone all all weekend in the hotel room um, and then a bunch of randos now and I say randalls. It was on hold on, not all of them there, it was. There was all friends except two people I don't know who they were that blonde woman with her. So it was all random people. I don't mean randalls that we don't know them. So there was a couple that we know very well. There was a single girl

next to me who I know very well. Another couple. Right, It was one to three couples that we knew, but it was nowhere from the morning show was like one person that works for corporate, two people that we used to be our photographer for the morning show, and his lovely wife. Across from us were two people that he is saying, is we weren't It wasn't. There was. It wasn't the people that we were closest, And I'm not complaining, but like, there was two people from the radio industry

that we know and we're friends with. So it was a good table, but it wasn't like all the people you guys know we work with. Right, So Brody got this thing in his head like, dude, we are the outcast table, you know. I felt like we were the left over were left were left over right now in the movie Table nineteen, have you seen it? No, I just saw the synopsis of it, right, it isn't it? A bunch of people who realized they are that there's

nine tables. They realized they're the last table, and they realized that none of them are like close with the bride and groul and they rebel against the bride, and they out of the way to ruin the wedding party. Right. So, so we were a table eighteen and kept calling a table nine. Again, we're not complaining. It was just it was just it was an unusual mix of people and

it was just us. Now, I want to thank people who came to my rescue on Instagram, thanking me left and right for documenting as much as I possibly could for the wedding. You might as well have been the videographer for the wedding. No, you know what, the listeners wanted a piece of this. They wanted, you know, Elvis didn't give any rules about not posting. You know, I would have respected his wishes gladly. But people wanted to see what the wedding was all about. They wanted to

see a little bit of the ceremony. They wanted to see a little bit of, you know, the reception and who's dancing, and so I gave everybody a little taste. I gave a little taste of Uncle Johnny singing his song. You know Uncle Johnny sings, Uh, what a wonderful world. I a little bit of the dance. So we did a great job. I saw some of your pictures and some of your video, you know what. But I wanted

to show people. I wanted to show that some of the people like from our like Carolina, past members of our morning show that were at the wedding with us. I wanted to show everyone in pictures and video as much as I could, and and all their dress. But everyone was texting me aside. They were d m ng me sliding into my d ms all weekend, scary. Thank you for doing this. I knew that I could count on, yes, that the people were very appreciative that were pitching that

I was putting. I know, I know, no, I know it was nobody who's the slice? Was none of our listeners on this podcast. But there were people complaining, Ah, how could you post I was walking down the aisle. That's not right. How could you post kissing Alex So yeah, but there was people people were like, this is their wedding. How can you like, why are you showing them that's private moments? You shouldn't be taking advantage for your Instagram heads. Listen,

I don't understand how people listened to the show. And don't get it. We are in the spotlight. People want to come to our social media. That's why they followed. That's why you follow anybody. You follow people because you want to see the kind of things they post. I follow people because I want to see what they post. Right, You don't think Elvis told us the rules beforehand, like, hey, you guys post whatever you want. You think he said don't post and we posted anyway? Do you think he right?

It's like what like he's not here this week on the Big Show, so Nate's hosting, right, he's kind of like master ceremonies, keeping the ship, the ships rolling along. People are texting and Nate stop trying to be the boss while you running the show. Do you think he did it on his own? You don't think Elvis said this is what I want when I'm gone. It was all planned and then you and and then there are people. Again, none of our slices who are so concerned with everything

that wasn't in the pictures. Oh, he's a beautiful picture of Elvis finding the man of his dreams and at this unbelievable moment in his life. Hey, finding fault. Comment, Hey, how come this person is not at the wedding? Comment? Hey, why isn't this happening? How about focus on what is happening. How about don't worry about what you think you know what you just don't don't hijack people's moments. Right, we're putting up. We having a great time. Oh well, why

isn't this person in the picture with you? Why why isn't Garrett in that picture? Why? Why come you left out? Brody? And that? Don't worry about us. Just enjoy what's in the picture. And by the way, there three and forty people there, right, not everyone? Could everybody? Let's get together for a picture. And again some people are not gonna be there. You might have gone to take a ship and they're taking a picture. That's correct. Again, not our slices.

Because if it's not for our slices, why are we giving this message in? Because I want these people because the slices are smart, wonderful people. Get it. I feel like we're reprimanding and yelling at our own audience. No, not not the slices, because our slices. No, if you're gonna talk about someone, don't at them right, don't act

the pulling. Someone did, hey, hey this woman, Hey I have a question women, but but no, No, someone was a real dick on my thread on one of my fucking pictures and add a person who was not an attendance and then said, hey, why are you not there? At you? I might make them feel like shit, why I don't think they think about that. Look, if you want to ask why my no isn't there, you don't have to write at mike. You can just say, hey, why is the mike there? Because because these are the people,

these are ship stirs. Also, I want to start out right. And here's another thing. If someone's not invited to something, and again, I had nothing to do with anything, I love all, serve all, you know me. But if someone's not invited to something, it's not first of all, not your business. Second of all, it's like it's awkward, like it's actually someone gonna tell you it's someone. Hey, if you have a party, right, and you go to party and go, hey man, why isn't uh? Why isn't Janine

at the party? Why don't you invite Janine? Do you think the guy is gonna go? Oh, I'll tell you why it invite You know he's gonna go. It's tell your business. You don't ask go to the party for the time that you weren't invited, Brody to the rooftop party when you called an you're allowed to you? Yes, you're a dick. That's right, you're a dick. There was some some crazy record label party and I wasn't invited. Scary called me drunk, hey man and chewing yeah seventy seven?

Hold on, okay, okay us. While you're at it, you got these These aren't cny rice Risotto balls and you're missing out on them. Where are you, Brody? This is the greatest party, celebrities here. Why aren't you here? And I said I wasn't invited. Why wouldn't you be invited? You should be invited? You should comment's the greatest I was being a drunk dude. We have the audio and here if you want to find it. But if that doesn't matter, I'll find it if you can find it. Okay,

so do we were playing on this podcast? No, don't, don't add people. You know we should the time or the time that a bunch of us flew to Miami and we're hanging out on someone's yacht and then, uh, you guys put up pictures. Great, he was like, why wasn't I'm not invited. But they were putting up peak pictures on social media. You know that makes people feel bad. That was not I was not the one who put pictures.

But you were on the boat with bottles of champagne and you told you told him you were going home for the weekend. He didn't feel well. Am I looking at Brody? When am I looking up here? I don't know? Party? Scary calls Brody about a party. Yeah, I was with t J. Okay, by the way, speaking is speaking talking with your mouthful of food. One of our listeners caught you doing it again in Elvis's house. Yeah, I was doing Scary was doing an instant story, doing a video

and he was giving a tour of the house. Beautiful house, be ridiculous. Here we go. Huh my favorite, yeah, my favorite? Yeah? Yeah, sorry about that. I will okay. So I was like, yeah, I was. I want to give credit. That was Curtis Hallowell. But we were in the middle of a commercial break and I had a chance to, you know, give a little tour of Elvis's house. And you couldn't put the food down though long enough to give the I mean I had, you know, I had to do two things

at once. I'm looking for the clip about being a pick prick to Brodie. Is it? Oh? Yeah, here it is. This is me calling Brody from a rooftop party, wondering why he wasn't there. We're getting wasted at Elvis durand groups um party. Everybody, the whole world. Where are you from two to five this afternoon in Soho on the rooftop deck. We're hosting cocktails yesterday? It was right right, you don't remember when you're walking yesterday right before that?

All right, it doesn't matter. You're you're missing out. You should you should have been here, man, I gotta go here. I gotta go here. Hashtag ton Tartar here not the worst. I feel like I there was a reason I did that. I might I think I was pissed at you that day, and I was just trying to get back. That's why you recorded it. Yeah, I recorded me calling you from that's really that's that's a bit much. Well, you know

what I was several years ago. You know, that was a period of time where we were all recording everything we did with each other. We had hit we kept like leaving our phones on the counter record. Yeah. Yeah, t J used to build on our show that it was a big thing hitting Mike things. So, yeah, you were a dick to me that day. I really was you to take this opportunity to apologize to you. Oh,

should buy me a dinner? I already did, he did. Yeah, you want to do a steak Dinner update, Steak dinner update, that's fine, hold on, yeah, because I have a steak dinner update for Let's paint the picture while you're looking for the jingle. We uh, we went out to dinner Thursday night, uh, which was the second night we were in town, and Scary says, I'll take care of everybody, Gonna invite everybody who's everybody on the morning to everybody,

like twenty five people. I'm gonna I know this restaurant, they got a back room. I'm gonna order getbody to go and what happen? Everybody cances on you by scary Jones. So we end up end up being like nine people, nine people going to dinner. And it was Greg T, it was there, I was in attendance, Brody was there, Danielle de Lullo. You don't have to know the rest. They just know that there were nine people, know, Greg

T and his wife, you and your girlfriend. Nine told and those people are gonna come up in the story. So I have to, okay, like nine people. There nine people, So we had the private room. Yes, and I'm gonna just give the overview version, and if you want to go into detail and get more granular, feel freak. Okay, but but here's what ultimately for nine people. The bill came and Greg T and I these are the facts. Okay, forget about how it happened, but the facts are Greg T.

I split the bill at half bill. The bill came out to six hundred dollars and he decided to give tip so seven for nine people. That this was a higher class restaurant, and we hadn't spent any money because we were getting a free ride the whole way. But this was out big night. We're not trying. We were at were at a nice place, but you gotta by

ordered a steak. Hold on, hold On, hold On. I ordered the one thing I would eat on the menu because they changed the menu every three days and when I looked up online, so all I had was a literal. I had a little tenderloin, a little steak. You ordered that was your entree. Was not listening under entrees, it was an entree. Hold on, hold on, hold on. So I went into hold on. I went into this meal

assuming I was going to pay for it. So I ordered a relatively inexpensive I didn't order the fancy seafood dishes. I ordered the medium price steak. I ordered one appetizer. You guys ordered like ten appetizers for the table, which I which I did not chicken liver, Yeah, I did not, but take in all the appetizers that you ordered. Okay, but okay, okay, but okay. So anyway, so hold on, I didn't I didn't have diet coke, so I didn't get a soda. And Gregg he ordered three bottles of

wine and I don't really drink. It doesn't matter, no, no, okay, So what happened? And you're you're appetizer was also in It was twelve dollars? Was it? It was twelve dollars. I wouldn't get a twenty appetizes twelve dollars now because I thought was splitting the check. I tried. I tried to keep it. Yeah, that came with the food. I didn't pay extra asides. When the bill comes, I texted Scary and I said, hey, man, I'm not paying for that wine. I'm out the Scaries like, no, I got it.

And then then that's fair because right, so, so you were going to be out on the wine. Right, So gregg t decides he's gonna do the math on his phone and figure out how much everybody owes. So Scary says, hey, man, broo, drink take out the wine because I got it. I got it. Yeah. So, like twenty minutes later, he's still like on his phone trying to figure out the bill. So I said, Craig, give me the bill. I'm really good. Let me see. I can do math in my head.

I'll figure it out. No, I got it. So after like twenty five minutes of him not being able to figure out how to put a check nine ways, he goes, fuck it. Scary, here's the check, give me a credit card with splitting it. That's it, and he got all man, Great got all man, But I was There was no gracious moment. There was no hey, you go, hey, we're gonna take care of this bill tonight. Don't worry about it.

At the end, out of Great Tea's inability to do math, he looked at you and said, we make enough money. Fuck it, let's just put the check. And we did, and you did. But it doesn't have to be borne out of a gracious moment. The factor the facts. The fact is I paid Hold on a second, I paid half of the bill, right, did I not? You ended up yes, and I said, hey, it posted to my right.

It's all my credit card, right, And I said, scary, I'll give you half the money, and you looked at me and you went, no, I just bought you a steak dinner. Yes, I did a steak dinner. And I'll tell you why. It doesn't count. It counts, No, it doesn't count. The update is you tweeted that you brought me steak dinner and we were fighting on Twitter and people are like, oh my god, here they're going again. Number one, you had no intention to buying me dinner,

but I didn't know the fact. Hold on number two. He came out of my pocket to the two. Hold on number two. Hold on, there's your math. Number two. You'allly paid for half dinner, right, you didn't pay for the whole thing. For all I know, Greg team could have picked up my tap and you picked up the tap other people. Dude, we picked up the entire table. You didn't pay for my meal. Second of all, it's all part of going to dinner and knowing someone's buying

you dinner, is you treat yourself a little better. You get to pick the restaurant, you get a better steak, You go to a steak agreed. You said, hey, let's go to that place. No, I didn't. You said, hey, man, everyone's going, you'll go. So then then you called me. You called me an hour before dinner and said, hey, um, everybody's canceling. You're still going, right? No, nine people that ended up going with us. But it was supposed to like that, God it wasn't much more So you're like, hey,

everybody's backing out. I'm really pissed. Everybody. Everybody's just screwed me. Old everybody else wanted to do their own thing the right. So I said, so you said, hey, it's a highly rated restaurant. It's the everybody says it's great. And I said, okay, I didn't say I want to go there. I said I'll go. I'm a team player. You were happy, we laughed. I did. I didn't get a drink. I was trying to save money. You ate, you had a steak. You

had a steak. Here's what Zach Wheels says, they right now. Eventually, eventually he knows the story. Eventually he might understand he needs to spend his money at his time to buy you a steak dinner and not get you a free steak at a restaurant. I discount Zach Wheel's comment because he didn't. Is that these people are are no no, these hold on shady ejaculating nobody about shitty jew mobster. Nobody knows the story until right now. These people have

already been responded. Okay, yeah, you're let me tell you. Hold on, okay, you tell me if shady jew mobster is wrong. Even though he didn't know all the facts, he said, scary Jones just tries to capitalize when steak is an option, so we can try to make it even. But you sacrifice that your friends could benefit. I sacrificed. Has that in mind? The steak dinner he takes you out for will make it even. Hashtag even is not even. You're wrong. Don't let me pull out the wrong jingle.

You're wrong. You're wrong. You I wrong because thousands of dollars were at Steak that I got you at Steak. That's right. T a k E. I got, and I tarnished my career for you and Greg. Now I've paid you dinner twice. You did not. We're not rehacting the first time. We're talking about what happened at this dinner. You didn't say, Brody, I'm gonna take you to dinner. You gonna order whatever you want. I I chinseed out on dinner. I didn't get aside. I didn't get a drink.

I got dick. I got nothing. The first time, the first time we agree with the six dollars plus taxes my dinner. The first time we agreed on a restaurant, we spent the time, we agreed. Time has to be part of it. A wonderful meal, and who paid for an accidentally was free as they still tipped a hundred dollars that night, which I offered to pay half. And I offered to give your money Thursday night. I said, scared, I'll give you ninety bucks. You said, I don't want

your money. I just put you stake that even then and now the three five dollars came out of my wallet you paid for are the people's dinner. Don't matter. You paid for dinner you were part of. You doesn't do bathroom benefited? You benefited. I told you, I offered you. I offered you and and great team money. I said, take the money. I'm done, take the money. I'm done. No, fuck you.

All right, I got too throwaway things. I don't want talk about sticking anymore. I will talk about one thing you said at dinner that had me cracking up. So Elvis told you, somebody's gonna come in the studio from the Today's show. They're just surveying the area because they have to. And I gave them that, I gave them permission to come in. Well I didn't. Well I did this. Guys staring at it, and we give you on to today's show. Maybe tomorrow, but today. Okay, Well he's looking

to continue. So we're at dinner, and you know how you are when you're like recommending stuff. I gotta try this, I try. I heard it's a gag, you said, So Elvis says, we gotta try the carrot hot dog. Elvis says, it's the best thing. Going to manu you with the carrot hot dog? It was? And then you said, then you would looked around you, so what do you think that is like a vegetable thing? What do you think that is? And I said, scary, it's a carrot hot dogs, a carrot in a bun, it's hot dog cart. But

you asked if it's some kind of vegetable thing. You think it's like a vegetable thing. I'm guessing it was. It's like the name tells you what it is so in the way it came over and you're like a kind of cat hot dog. He's like the menu anymore. So I was like, hey man, what's the carrot hot dog? Carrot and hot dog bun? What did you think it was? Okay, I wasn't thinking the other thing I want to call you out on. Other than is that what this podcast

is about. I want to talk about the ship. I want to talk about the guy on the plane that's kid to hellab But real quick, we were talking about on the Big Show this week, have you ever been sprayed with pepper spray? Right? Have you gotten pepper sprayed in the face? And you said, Oh, I grew up in Brooklyn, a tough neighborhood. I can't believe I was never pepper sprayed. Let me tell you something. I don't know where you grew up, like ten blocks from where

I grew up, and get there. When you think of a tough neighborhood, yeah, what the mean streets when guys wrap hip hop guys and they come from the streets. They talked about drug dealing and shooting and glocks and gats and right knives and baseball bats. Our neighborhood was tough. There was guys in there who are may be members

of the organized crime families. Maybe maybe they were people getting hit with bats, were people getting their stores burned down there, people getting stabbed every once in a while. And then if they were, you know, they knew the wrong people. I don't know what tough neighborhood you're talking about where people go around pepper spraying themselves, or trying to say that pepper spray is a little soft for I'm saying, when you see Mario coming down the street,

you don't go look out. He's got pepper spray, he's got pressed knuckles, he's got a bat in his hand. I get that he's gonna hit you with a chair. I'm trying to say. No, you're like, I can't believe in a tough neighborhood like mine. I didn't get HI with pepper spray. I just think I wo walk around with pepper sprice and they don't get raped. No, I get that right. And tough guys who want protection money for their stories, you don't burn down like hey, I

hate for something bad to happen here. If you don't pays protection money, we might have to come back here at night and pepper spray? You who does that? Well, all I'm saying, all I'm getting at is we did live in a neighborhood where people were, you know, they were a little more violent violent. So yeah, I know, violent, but so so even more so those people you would think would carry the violent people of the women would carry peppers. Okay, So you attack women, is what you're saying. No,

I've never been in touch. I've never been in contact with pepper. Okay. So what you just said was the only people that carried pepper spray, and I was tough neighbors with the women. I made it to my forties without ever being in contact. By the way I want to write, but I'm just kind of surprokate. So let's take what you said where we listen, we grew up

in a blue collar, tough neighborhood. So so you're trying to say pepper spray isn't tough enough for me saying, I'm saying you just said the only people that carry pepper spray but might have been the women. So if you're surprised you aren't pepper sprayed, you're implying you attacked women and even someone that might have brought it to school one day and said, hey, scary, look at my pepper spray. Look look scary, just like because the people

came to school with knives. A real tough neighborhood, they came with weapons. Snuckle trying to say, pepper spray is soft. I was trying to say, like you never see a like a movie like Rambo carrying pepper spray. You know I'm gonna take you down for I'm gonna revenge you my family here pepper spray. You didn't see Clint Eastwood and Dirty Harry going. I sprayed five shots of pepper spray. This could be a six shot pepper spray. You feel lucky punk He had a magnum. I just think it

would be part of the arsenal. Okay, you think the president right now is threatening. I ran with pepper spray, like we might go to Ward pepper spray the Ayatola Like you're like, had such a tough neighborhood, We had pepper spray. What neigh if you were like Hollywood Hills, they might go that guy's crazy, he's got pepper spray. We lived in a real neighborhood. They made movies about our neighborhood being tough? SA did I fever? They did

drive by shootings? Right that? Well? You know with John Travolta put a little pepper spray on his pizza, it was pepper. That wasn't pepper spray. That was pepper. That was red pepper, red pepper flakes, pepper flakes. I couldn't believe that, Like, you're not a good like that? Alright, we played sports and did you play chess? Chess? Is the pepper spray of tough neighborhoods? Quit your bitchen when but what were we talking about? All right? Tough with

pepper spray? It was amazing. It's such a dick. You really are? You were? I'm possible you were impossible, dude. I was walking through this bad neighborhood at night. The street light was out, and this guy jumped out from behind the bush and he was trying to pepper spray me. Oh, by the way, listen, this is a good opportunity to promote an event coming up that we're all going to be a part of. Um Elvis is gonna be signing copies of his book Where Do I Begin? On Thursday October.

People have always been asking hopefully you hit this podcast in time yet September nine recording. I would hope you heard it by then. Well, but the truth of the matter is all proceeds go to UM to benefit the hungry. Okay, the tickets are expensive.

Love y'all, slices w t F sponging, binging, hashtag binge in order can't wait to catch up. He then said you owe me steaked dinner, but he said he respelled it as s T A K E and and and what you stold me a dinner? John, Thank you for taking the ribbing.

Welcome aboard. We couldn't be any happier, and we hope that you hit us in time to come meet us since you're a local Brooklyn guy at this event. Now, do you want to hear about my flight? Yes? All right, this is how the mind works. You tell me if you would think any differently. All right, So it's eleven obvious reasons people think of that day when it comes to flying, and maybe it makes feel uncomfortable. So we

get on the plane. It's sold out, but the middle seat next to me, I'm at the window is empty. All of a sudden, this guy comes down the aisle. He's the last guy to board the plane, just before the doors close, and he he sits, doesn't say a word to me, sits down next to me and fumbles with his seatbelt and he elbows me like three or four times as he's like twisting around in his seat to get the seatbelt. Doesn't say a word, doesn't that

makes no sound, doesn't apologize to me. Nothing. Now, I'm gonna tell you that he seemed to me to be a little shifty looking. Don't ask me what do you look like? I'm just telling you to me, he seems shifty looking. Okay, okay, I don't know if he speaks English or not. I don't know. He had kind of a mean face on and I thought to myself, but this guy looks like he hates the world. He just had this mean look on his face. So from the

time he sat down, he's on his phone. He's got headphones on, wireless headphones, and he's texting really fast to somebody. And I see he's got audio, like an audio file response. Whoever he's texting is leaving audio responses back that so that no one can see what they're saying, and it's going to his bows wireless headphones. So he's typing really fast.

Now I don't have great eyesight when it comes to reading small font So I look over at his keyboard and it appears to me that the keyboard letters are not the alphabet we use. It appears to be a different alphabet. Okay, but again I can't be sure because I can't see clearly enough and it's at an angle.

All right. I see he's using what's app. Now, what's app it's well known even though a great app is often used by terrorists the community called on to communicate because it isn't trackable like a text message, and you can do international text messaging. Okay, So I'm wondering, what are these voice responses he's hearing. Okay, So you know, on the back of the seats you can watch TV direct TV, right, but one of the channels is just a map where you can see where the plane is.

That's the default channel, and most people watch, right. He tunes to that and keeps the map of the ain on the whole time. I'm like, well, it's kind of weird. He doesn't want to watch television and he's he's a lot of people don't hold on. He's talking to the person the whole time. He must have paid for WiFi or whatever, and he's hearing the audio, right, I see the little wave for him. He's hearing it, and he's typing really fast, and they're right back and he's typing.

I don't know. I can't tell. I try to angle my phone to film it typing in another language. That's what it looked like to me. So now I'm getting I'm really getting freaked out because it's not eleven. Because it's not eleven. So he kept switching back. Every once in a while. He would turn to the news on on on the direct TV, switch over to c an N just for like two seconds, and go back to the map, as if he's checking to see if there

was any breaking news. So I'm freaking out, like this guy is looking to see if something's happening, and he's going back. You're working yourself up, brody, Okay, you're working yourself up. So then the guy behind us goes, He goes, mumbles, hits his eat, and he passes a laptop up to the guy. So the guy behind me is with him, but I didn't understand what he said to him. He hands him a laptop. He opens the laptop and he's

scrolling through emails and in every email he's opening. It's driver's licenses, like New York driver's licenses with photographs of people who also look a little bit frightening, Like why does this guy have pictures of other people's drivers? Did you say anything to anyone at this point? But if you see something? So I tweeted, Okay, I tweeted, and I said, this guy sitting next to me, he's freaking me out on the plane right and he's got driver's licensees.

Who did you tweet at? Well, I just tweeted, you know, to my followers, and he's tweeted and people are like, keep an eye on him, and you're crazy? What you hope? You're okay? All right? So then I realized another guy behind me is with him. The three of them are all talking. So then he closes the email and opens up another email. Now it's all this is where I got freaked out. It's all aerial pictures, like aerial shots

of the World Trade Tower. I swear to you, this is not like a bit so World Trade Center One, which by the way, is not the Freedom Tower. It's never called that World Trade Center One. Felt like all these aerial shots, I'm like driver's licenses pictures of World Trade Tower, and and and so I was looking. He looked over me for a second like what am I looking at and gave me a side eye. So I went back and acted like I was looking. So I'm

I'm I'm really getting I'm really getting like nervous. Now he's got driver's licenses, what's apps, he's texting communities, looking at the map, he's looking at the news, he's looking at pictures of the World Trade Tower. And he sees me looking at his laptop, and so I went like, I got like a panic. He turns to me and he's staring at me for a second and his face turns and contorts into a big smile, and he says to me, we took pictures from a helicopter. Love New York.

What I said, what maybe that was a cover? That was a cover? No, he says, He goes, I saw you looking, goes, we were flying. We we rented a helicopter. Now we're going home. What a great city are you from? New York? And starts talking to me like hey, buddy, He's like, he's my pal. So this whole thing was in my body. He's the nicest guy. He said, we took a helicopter tour. Your city's beautiful. He speaks perfect English, and I'm the whole time, I'm like putting all the

clues together. See the mind place crazy. So as it turned up, No, I'm not, I don't doing race or I didn't tell you what he looked like. I just said he look shift. You said shifty like you know something crazy like he was. It didn't look like he was like up to something. What kind of look was that? Like? He was looking around? He was quiet. His body at you look like described shift to you you when you're

about to pay for dinner. I point was the driver's licenses must have been like the the idea that they needed to show to get on the helicopter. He must have liked had everybody sending his email when the sound that makes sense, your mind is crazy. You're crazy man, all right? You would have thought something was up to? No,

I wouldn't. Okay, you know what tweeked the three of us at the Brooklyn Boys, at Scary Jones at David Brody, and tell me whether or not you would have thought something was up to because crazy like comes from a tough table. Boys. Boys
