Speaker 1 (00:00):
Start Data, Start Up. Brooklyn buys start Up, Brooklyn buys
start Data. They're making noise Data stat Up. Episode one
twenty three. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Oh I'm cold

(00:26):
to continue? What what are you called? What are you're
called for? Because I'm sitting in my basement recording studio.
When I say recording studio, I mean a folding chair,
a snack table, and allege. And I'm freezing down here.
What it's the warmest April on record. It's gonna be
sixty degrees today. It's been warm. There's no way your

(00:46):
basement is that called. Okay, my basement is a finished basement,
but it's not properly insulated from the people who own
the house before us, so it's cold. There's not a
lot of heating vents down here. I'm cold. I'm just
letting you know i'm cold. That you can put on
a sweater if you want. Oh, I could put on
a sweater. Oh that's a good idea. Then I go

(01:09):
upstairs and I'm broiling hot because, like you said, it's
a warm April. By the way, yesterday in New York
was freezing. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, yeah,
but that was yesterday. Today's a warm day. In fact,
I would know I'm still in the house where this
is Saturday. We're recording this. This is um interesting, another
another Quarantine edition of the Brook and Boys podcast. I thought,

(01:31):
you know, uh, working from home and not having to
drive in every day, you and I would have so
much more time to record podcasts. And now we have
less time to record podcasts because we're not like, oh,
the show's over, here's the studio, let's go right now.
It's about coordinating schedules and coordinating when you're home and
when my family is not um going to be interrupted
or bothered by me recording. So the studio availability thing

(01:56):
after a show is what motivates us. We like, you know,
we x amount of time to get it done. So
we go in and we do the job and we
come out. Whereas here every day bleeds into the next,
into the next. Don't know if I'm coming or going,
what time of day it is. It's like, do I

(02:16):
want to get off my bed and stop watching Netflix
and come over to my broadcast equipment and do the
podcast on? No, wait a second, I can. I have
dishes in the h that I have to take out
of the dishwasher. Oh wait, oh, what do I want
for dinner tonight? So it's like your my there is
no separation of church and state, work and play. So
because when I'm at work, I'm in the work mode,

(02:37):
I mean those studios, and you and I both feel
the same way. We're like, okay, we have to do things,
all things work while we're here. When when you're home
your home and you have you're thinking of the home
things and you're doing you're doing recreational and leisure stuff.
But when the two worlds collide, you don't know where
one begins in the other ends. Plus, when you have
a family and responsibilities when you're at work, they understand,

(03:00):
they understand that, like, oh, okay, life is on hold
for a little while. You have work to do, so
I can get it done. But when you're home, I'm like,
oh what can I help with? What can I do?
Or where can I you know? So, and plus I'm
I'm desperately trying to keep busy and and so you know,
it's it's watching television, it's doing home projects, and before
you know it, you're like, oh, the garage looks better,
but I didn't do the podcast today. So the yeah,

(03:23):
but the upside of doing a podcast at home is
you can you could do two things at once, where
like I wouldn't be able to clip my tone nails
and do the podcast at the radio station, but I'm
about to do that right now and here, because I
happen to be in the comfort amount home. Oh that's
that's awesome for the listeners. That's great. I have hold

(03:45):
on a second. Why aren't we on zoom for this?
I can see it? Oh my god, No, that's the lad.
If I was ever going to zoom it on anything,
it wouldn't be that. Oh oh, I'm legitimately clipping my
tone nails, oh as opposed to as opposed to illegitimately
clipping them. Got one, got one, one down, nine to go.

(04:09):
These are the things we could do right Like you
can you can make a sandwich right now while we're
on the podcast, and you know, you could incorporate it
into the podcast. See, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be
able to clip my toe nails as I'm doing right now,
but I'm sure our slices are going. Oh my god,
what a bonus. I could hear Brody make a sandwich
and I'm hearing Scary cut his toe nails. This little

(04:31):
piggy went to market, This little stay at home. Okay,
did you cut the really long second toe you have
that's longer than your big toe? Yeah, this little piggy
had roast beef. Have you ever seen a doctor about that? Did?
Did all the piggies have roast beef? Because I've heard
different variations. Okay, so this little piggy had roast beef.
This little piggy had none. Um, this little piggy cried,

(04:52):
we we we all home, Um, isn't it. This little
piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. And
then this little piggy cried, we we we all the
way home. That's the five, that's three D. This little
this little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. Yeah,
this little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none.

(05:14):
And the fifth piggy, if you know how to count,
Scary Jones went crying, we we we all No, this
little piggy had went to market. That's one. Was he
wearing a mask? He better be wearing a mask and gloves,
because that's what you have to do. And what he
shouldn't be doing is, oh, I'm gonna get upset in
a minute, is throwing The second piggy stayed home right,

(05:35):
But the first piggy, I hope he threw his mask
and his gloves out in a garbage pail and not
in the in the parking lot of the supermarket or
the doctors. I put up being a lot of mask
and gloves, Carkeett, I'm seeing you've got to be. I
put a picture up, put a picture up of the
parking lot near my house. I went to the supermarket.
What kind of piggy do you have to be to

(05:57):
throw your masks and gloves on the floor. I put
up picture on my Instagram at of course, at David
Brody of uh, masks mostly gloves laying in the parking
lot of the supermarket, And I said, you know what
kind of animal does this? Right? And so the same
kind of animal that clips his toe nails on a

(06:17):
podcast is the kind of animal? Yes? And so I'm
about to get onto my left foot movie. No, I
did not see that movie my left anyway, the comments
and the anger from from the from our followers that
commented on that picture, so many people are angry. So
I'm wondering do people who do that not comment on

(06:41):
the picture because they feel guilty, or do none of
our followers do that, because every single post was yeah,
those people are bastards. Not one person was like, well,
sometimes there's no garbage pail around. That's not people are No. No,
I'm saying, nobody did that. Nobody said, well, no garbage
pill around. There's always excuse, there's always a garbage pill around.

(07:04):
In fact, it's not one person that not on my no,
not on my page. That's the part. Are you listening
to the podcast? Could you back on my tonails? Because
I might cut myself. That's the second time you asked
me something that I had just said. I feel like
your whole theory about being able to multitask is out
the window now because you can't listen and cut your
toes by the way, cutting your tonails rather, it's so loud.
What are you using to cut your tone nails? The

(07:26):
big clippers? Like I think that was the big The
big are they hedge clippers? What are you using the
big clipper? The big clipper requires a a you know,
a big three clips in one. You can't you can't
do it on one take, dude, you have a giant
ass toe or a giant toe, asked one or the other.

(07:48):
It sounds like one of those things that like they
handles extend so you can reach up into a tree
and cut the branches. That's what it sounds like. What
you're using to cut your feet, right, cut your toes? Well,
you know, if you would go into a long winded
story like you did last week about about everything waking
up and complaining to Samsung, then I can finish this
people on Twitter. People on Twitter agreed with me. Yeah, yeah,

(08:12):
I got an email to read. I got an email
to read to you, buddy, can't I can't wait. Speaking
of people complaining, I want to just sidetrack here for
a second. If you are we're not doing anything. I know.
If you're If you're a follower of ours and you're
a slice and you listen to the Elvis Red Morning Show, um,
that's great. And I love joking around with people, and

(08:32):
I love interacting with everybody on social media. You know,
I right back to everybody every post, every tweet. But
I don't think correct me if I'm wrong. Scary that
gives you the right to insult me as if you're
my buddy, as if you're like the guy I've been
known twenty years, Like, Oh, we're in the car and
you make a comment to me, and I go, you're
a dick, and we move on. But are they Is

(08:55):
this person trying to joke with you, trying to insult you?
Like what okay can mean? Example A right, So I'm
not going to get the specific of the insult. But
I put up a picture on Instagram and somebody made
a comment I didn't quite understand. I thought there was
a five percent chance it could have been said to
be an insult, but I wasn't sure, so to give
them the benefit of the doubt, I wrote back and

(09:16):
I said, what do you mean by that? And he
wrote back, Oh, what I'm saying is and then insulted me,
like insulted me, but then put an L O L
Slice for Life kind of thing after it. But it
was a hurtful commentary, so I political. Nope, No, it
was hurtful to me. It wasn't wasn't political? Then why

(09:36):
can't you share with everybody? Scary scary, I'm not going
to do that. It was hurtful to me. Why would
I repeat it. The point is adding that you're a
slice and adding an L O L only means your
intention wasn't to hurt my feelings. But I feel like
you should know that what you said, yeah, well, even
if you didn't mean it, it's a hurtful thing to
say to somebody. It's like, oh, um, you're you're It's

(10:00):
like if I said, oh, scary, um, you have a
face that makes you look like your brain damaged. Right,
But if I said it to you, I mean, it
wasn't about my face, but if it was about you,
you know, I'm we're friends for twenty years. You know
I'm joking, you'd say shut up taking right. Well, but
if somebody, if somebody on social media said that to you,
that's not funny, right. I almost think that they think

(10:23):
they know you. You You see, that's almost a compliment to
you because they feel like they can joke with you
because they're you know what I'm saying, like they feel
a connection to you. But it's a it's a public forum.
So you're insulting me in a public forum. Like if
you d M me and you're like ha ha ha,
I might write back and go, hey man, you know
I don't really think that's a joke kind of thing, right,

(10:43):
But you do it in a public forum on my
Instagram page, then it's like, oh, everyone's gonna see that,
and everyone's gonna maybe in the back of their mind.
And it was just it doesn't matter again what what
was said. I'm sure he didn't mean it to be hurtful,
but I gave him a chance to explain what he meant,
and he clearly went out of his way to say,
oh no, I was insulting you. Yeah, get it right.

(11:09):
So being clever at someone else's expense when you don't
really know them is not always the best thing. That's
all I'm saying, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah,
that's all. And if and if he's still a slice
and he's listening, hey man, I don't know anger against you.
I just I don't feel like I want to continue
the interaction on social media if that's your angle of
interacting with me. So that's all we move on, all right? Well?

(11:31):
You know, um, speaking of slices for life, somebody who
was it? Um? See here, Um, I want to shout
out to Max Max Um. Max's girlfriend Stephanie reached out
to me on cameo. You know, that's the app where
you record video messages for people. I did one. I
did one next week. Yes, celebrities or whoever or names like,

(11:58):
we'll we'll record messages, video messages, personalized ones, and then
you get to present it to that person, which is nice.
So for so So, Stephanie wanted to celebrate Max's thirtieth
birthday in quarantine. Wow, so he's a slice for life,
and she thought she'd surprised him with a cameo. So
I made a cameo. But I gotta I gotta tell

(12:21):
you something. I did take one, and I put it
in the trash before I sent it to her, because dude,
when when, when we're in quarantine and isolating and not
giving bucks about ourselves, we look like shit. I get
on camera and and I'm reading this and then I'm like,
oh my god, look at me. And I'm like and

(12:42):
I'm talking into my camera, and I looked back at
him like is that really me? My beard had grown
four days. It looked like I had like chipmunk cheeks.
My hair was out of control, and of course no,
granted I hadn't taken a shower yet. I Brodie, I
specifically said, I gotta ad dressed. I took a shower,
got dressed, shaved, hold my hair, put new clothes on,

(13:05):
and then I did the cameo and now here we
are doing the podcast. But I did it because I
had to be on screen for thirty second. Yeah, but
how pathetic are we? Wait a minute that why on
the on the Zoom the Morning Show, did you were
sitting in the dark? You saw that? Right? Yeah? Yeah,

(13:27):
well it was half and half. It was like zero
fox given everybody. We had a Morning Show Zoom conference
and I'm sure people listening are getting into some form
of WebEx meetings or teams. And and Ali posted the
picture on the Elvi stra In Morning show account. Um,
and people commented because you were sitting in the shadow
and my camera was off, so they're like, what happened

(13:49):
to those guys? And and I saw that because I
was backlit something terribly, which, by the way, UM, I'm
buying one of those ring lights that every all YouTubers
and TikTok ockers by. Um, okay, call me what you want.
I'm not I'm not a diva. Actually there is a
light called the Diva, which is kind of funny. But
these those are the circular lights where you put your

(14:09):
phone in the middle and it gives you some nice lighting. Um,
it seems that because we're doing all this stuff from
home now and we have to be on camera, and
because I am backlit because of the nature of my
my my environment, I can't help it, my computer stationary,
I am gonna be back lit every time fans. I
was thinking to buy one of these these rings, those
ring lights. I have to buy one. I'm looking for

(14:30):
one online. In fact, that's what I was doing before
we started the podcast, and and so yes, so that's
gonna be a solution. But I looked at myself in
the mirror before we went on that Zoom meeting that day,
and I said, you know what, it's better off than
I'm in the shadows today. I don't even want to
be seen. You laugh, But I'm serious. No, I laughed
because when Elvis was like, Brody, a camera's not on,
I'm like, oh, yeah, I can't. I gotta find the button.

(14:52):
I don't know if it's working. Brody, when have you
when of you not been up to date on technology?
I'm calling bullshit on you. Oh it was absolutely. It
was my first zoom right. So I didn't know, um,
that you have to turn the mic on and the
camera on individually. I just assumed when you went in
it was on, so at the bottom of the screen
you have to turn them on. So I turned the

(15:13):
audio on right and then on. I don't I guess
it's the same on all phones. After you're on for
a few minutes, the icons drop away and it goes
full screen, so I no longer saw the video button,
so I didn't realize I wasn't on video. And then
when Elvis was like, Brody, cameras not on, I'm like, oh,
I don't know where the button is, because I legitimately
didn't know where the button was. But what does it matter?
No one needs to see me on a group thing

(15:34):
like you said, I wasn't dressed. I was, we had
done the show, I'm working from home. I have I
didn't shave at a full full beard at that point,
I think, not a full beer, but you know it
was beardy um, and I hadn't showered, so I was like,
why bother turning the camera on? If this thing has
an option not to put the camera on, then who
needs the camera? There was no need for it. So

(15:56):
I'm all good about that. We're gonna be doing a
lot more of this kind of thing, not just us,
but everybody. I mean, our whole life is upside down now,
and and so you gotta do what you gotta do
to get on camera because there's gonna be a lot
more these video things. You know. They asked me in
the you know that our sales team, you know they
you know, when we do our endorsements and things like that,

(16:18):
the ones that I gratuitously drop into this podcast here
and there. They said, Hey, scared, do you want to
do your first Zoom happy hour with a client? And
I'm not going to mention the client hasn't the deal
isn't done yet. I said, what are you talking about? Like, well,
you know normally how you'd go to a bar for
happy hour and host an event for us for a
couple of hours with the listeners. I'm like yeah, They're like, well,
we want you to do that, but in a Zoom

(16:39):
room that can hold up to a hundred people and
you'll all be hanging out with cocktail hour and having
a having a party at virtually Like so all I
have to do is sitting front of my screen and
with like you know, Brady Bunch style with everybody and
on the screen, on the cameras, and that's it. I said,

(16:59):
is this where we're going with this? Is this? Is
this the road we're marching down is? And they're like, oh,
it's the new norm. Man, come on man. And I'm like,
all right, I'm I'm gonna get there. Yes, but it's
gonna be yes. The thing though, this is uncharted territory,
and they think that because I give two hours of
my time but I'm sitting in front of my computer,

(17:21):
they could pay me far less than if I had
shown up in person. So this is now going on
throughout our our throughout the team. They because we have
to set a precedent here and and I don't know
if it's I don't I know how to value that
as currency because I only know, Hey, they give us.
Let's just say it's let's for arguments, say a hundred

(17:44):
dollars to show up to an event for two hours, right,
those are a personal time. We make the effort, We
drive there, we hang out for two hours, We have
a couple of drinks, we get on the microphone, we
through out some T shirts, and we leave right, hang
out with the listeners, right, we come home. That's two hours.
Let's say it's a hundred dollars. What what would it

(18:05):
how much is it worth or how much do they
need to pay me to do the same thing except
saying in front of my computer and I never have
to leave my house? Okay, So do you think it's
a tenth of the price I'm gonna I'm gonna give you.
I'm gonna give you three answers. The first answer is,
if you were working for me, I would find a
way to pay you less. Okay, if it was your
David Brody, the king of the bargains, right, if it

(18:25):
was me, I'd find a way to get paid more,
because now you're infringing on my on my uh my
family time, um more that time I would have been right.
So it's not really because I would have done I
would have actually gone when they when they give when
they give us the money to do an appearance, right,
they don't specifically pay you for the commute time. Right.

(18:46):
They don't like if you have to drive an hour
and a half. They like that it's on you. If
if you want to do the gig, you gotta get there, right,
so I'm going to Philly. I'm getting the same prices
I'm going to my corner store, because because they don't
pay you for the trip, then they can't deduct for
the lack of trip. Okay, I gotta write these down
because I'm supposed to have a meeting with the head

(19:07):
of sales on this because I said we need to
talk about the payment on this, right, they wanted to
do it for free. No, well, here's another analogy for you,
which is my third answer. I said I would give
you three. Yeah. I did um to doctor telecols this week, right. Um.
One of them was with an allergist because I think
I may be developing allergies after all my life, and

(19:30):
so the allergist examined me on the phone on you know,
on this video screen right from his home office. Okay,
he did not give me a scratch test, he didn't
do blood work. He gave me his opinion. Right. I
saw a second doctor who I needed him to look

(19:52):
in my eyes and my ears and my you know,
and I have been having headaches. Turns out the headaches
were the allergies I didn't know I had. So I'm fine,
don't worry. The point is they could not give me
the proper exam because I wasn't in their offices yet yet.
You and I both know they're going to charge me
the full price, so they don't their love in life

(20:15):
right now. Well, the doctor's gonna say it's still his time,
as time is valuable. I would like to be able
to say, but dude, you didn't. You didn't take my
blood pressure, So you're gonna actually bargain him down, you know,
actually make a case. I'm no, I'm saying it would
be nice if they gave you a discount. But I
don't imagine any doctor is going to say, well, I

(20:35):
didn't really examine you. I basically looked on you on
at you on television. Right. It's it's like a lot
of times they'll have a doctor on right on on
the on the news and network, and they'll say, what
are your thoughts on the president or this world leader,
or or or a sportscaster will what do you think
of this picture? They'll go, well, I haven't examined him.
I've only seen him on television, right, I've only I've

(20:58):
only seen him at press conferences. I really can't diagnose him. Well,
if that's the case, then you really can't diagnose me
on the television, meaning my phone or my iPad or whatever,
so they should get a lesser fee. Well, I'm not
getting the same treatment. I'm not getting the same are
you paying for Some would say that you're paying for
the expertise and his knowledge. Absolutely. Absolutely. If he's got

(21:18):
the knowledge to diagnose you and to say I mean,
if it comes up inconclusive, then he just did a
terrible job. Well that's my point. He actually if you
come out with a result and a clear action that
you need to take and you you get better, well,
then he's done his job and he gets his full feed. Well, again,
it depends. So the the allergist was like, well, I

(21:40):
would have given you a scratch test, but you're not here.
And I would have liked I would have liked to
have exposed you to some allergens, but you're not here. Right.
So though in my mind I just pictured David David
Brodie's brain saying okay, we'll gonna the cash register, I
felt discount that. I felt that I felt better. I
felt better, right, I felt better right away? Immediately I
felt better. I was like, oh, I must be saving

(22:02):
money here. Um, So that's my point, Like, so you're
not getting the full doctor experience because they're not able
to give you the full doctor experience, which I understand
it's not their fault, it's the world we live in.
But I'm still going to pay them full price. So
I'm just saying, when you go to sales, tell them, hey,
my doctors charging me the same price. Right is the
is the restaurant giving you a discount for takeout food

(22:24):
because you wanted to sit there, you and you still
tip them on delivery, So you're not getting a discount.
And by the way, you shouldn't. We want to keep
the restaurants in business. So that's great. The only thing,
the only thing I would say to you, scare, is
that if you're doing an appearance, those people don't have
an opportunity to meet you and don't have an opportunity
to like take a selfie with you or right unless

(22:48):
they want to be there now they could take a
selfie with your your image on the screen, of course
the same. Well that's the downside and see that's what
sales is gonna come back to you on. It isn't
the same value to the client because you aren't there there,
so you have to sell it and expect them to
come back with Brodie arguments, and you have to hit
them back with Brody arguments because I can all go

(23:08):
on both sides of this. That was really bad. I see,
I see. That's why you should have been a lawyer. Yeah,
and not doing a podcast from your cold basement. Yeah.
And by the way, on the note of doctors, how
do how do people get logical exams? Do do? Do
women get on their hands and knees, oh dudelift up
their skirt and then point at the camera. Okay, first

(23:30):
of all, have you never have you get a little
closer to the screen. It'm gonna have a look. Okay,
So your your thought process as a single guy, is
that gynecological exams are done doggy style? Is that what
I'm hearing? How else do you get the care if
you're if you have a few, have a laptop and
you know where the camera is on a laptop, Yeah,

(23:51):
you have to straddle. You have to get on your
hands and knees and straddle backwards and back into it,
back into the camera. Right, that's how you think it's
gonna go down. So you know, I don't know what
kind of does anybody listening have had a gynological exam over?
Oh my god, that's porn. I don't think you can
do that. But well we can't. We can't see each

(24:12):
other now. But if the doctors in his house and
his kid walks in, if someone has if someone hold
on a second, wait, wait, the medical world doesn't just stop,
Brodie just because we have to do things virtually. You
have to. We all have to do things virtually. So
I'm sure this is if we can think of it,
it's already okay. I'm sure somebody's got an exam that one. Okay.

(24:32):
I would imagine the women listening are saying, that puts
the no, and guy, no, that is a that's a
big no. Second of all, the laptop screen, if it's
a decent laptop, the screen will tilt down. Scary. The
webcam can tilt down. We've all seen enough webcam porn,
at least that's what I've been told, where the camera
is able to Because your friends told you that one, yeah, yeah,

(24:54):
my friends were telling me, and I was like, hey,
I don't want to hear that. That's disgusting. You do
know how a gynecological exam goes normally right, yes, yes,
normally yes, yes. I mean I've I've seen clinical situation.
I mean you've been watching clinical videos. What do you
go online and you're like you you research? What what
are you watching? What have you say? No, I don't.
I don't know the full I don't. I don't say

(25:16):
I haven't been in the room with one. But I
know I know that, I know that. It's like it's
like it's like a It's like you can't even say it.
It's like a dentist chair that has that actually like
it has several different like like you know, it has
the feet and then you could prop yourself and then
then you could put your feet in startups, right, I know,

(25:37):
star ups, I know what those are. I don't know.
I don't know anything beyond that. I just that's that's
all I know. So I'm saying, unless you have an
iPhone and you can be like, oh here, let's have
an exam. Okay, you take your iPhone, I don't know.
I don't know, but I'm sure someone's had to have
done it, and then who's to stop? You know? Do
you know what a speculum is? A? Yes? Yeah? What's that?

(26:03):
Is it? Like a reverse nutcracker. Well, in the sense
that it's not used on your nuts. Absolutely, it's reverse.
It's it's sort of like a reverse alligator. Um okay, yeah, no, yeah,
I know what that is. Yes, yeah, I've seen I
I can imagine what that is. Okay, So do do
you think the woman has to have one in our

(26:24):
house and then just reach around and do it herself. Like,
I'm trying to figure out your how you conceptualize this webcam?
Gino exam, I'm I don't. I don't know the answer
to that, Brody. That's why I'm throwing it out there.
We don't have anybody, it's not That's the thing that
sucks about pre recorded podcast. People are probably shouting answers

(26:47):
out at at the screen right now, you know, if
they're in their car wherever, they're listening to this. But
what they can't get in touch with us live? Yeah,
well I've got because I want instant feedback. I'd like
to see some text messages roll by on the top.
And that's the benefit of the big show is, you know,
the feedback loop is complete. We throw a thought out
there and then people respond immediately, go back immediately live

(27:11):
and be like, hey, this person is writing in and
saying that we don't have that luxury on a prerecorded podcast.
Right now, I would like to talk to some phone
callers on the matter. Right now, I've got four women
on the line in my house, and I'm not going
to ask any of them that question. So you don't know.
You you can be sure that they have not scheduled
a ginological exam during this time. I can be sure
of that, and I can also be sure they wouldn't

(27:32):
do it the way you described no I do. Do
you know how how uncomfortable going to the that kind
of doctor makes most women? And now you're asking them
to back that ass up to the to the computer,
and then you think about it, Then you know, what
if the hackers get in and then they start screenshotting
getting I mean, yeah, what if hackers get in what

(27:55):
they get into the computer? I mean, who knows who's
seeing that stuff? I mean because by the way, anytime
you transmit video right, it goes all over the place,
and then it could be it goes into bits in
the air and then somehow and the other end comes back.
I mean, it goes through wires and things that could
be intercepted. Is this is this. You sound like somebody's
grandfather trying to explain the cloud. It's got this goes

(28:16):
up there and it's everywhere, and I don't know where
it's going. I have a funny piece of adio I
want to play for you after we come back, Okay,
and then and then I know you have a rant
up your ass a sleeve, right, yeah, you know what.
I'll back my s up to the microphone so you
can hear it. Perfect scary. So earlier we were talking
about Cameo and that's the video app where you could

(28:39):
do personalized messages. I want to play you a piece
of audio. And Brodie, you saw this and you're like,
that's great. Um, So my friend Jamison um has a
couple of friends his name. Then I'm gonna show I'm
gonna shot them out because uh, the celebrity does this.
Guy's John and Augie Piccolo. Hey then at fans, but

(29:02):
they had been saying disparaging things about you know, they
getting into their sports fights. We all do, and they
was saying disparaging things about x MET World Series champ
Met Lenny Distra, the center fielder for the New York
Mets back in the day, in the eighties, and and
and they were trash talking this guy right that we
have to explain. Who do you want to explain to

(29:22):
lu Lenny? Why don't you go a little bit further
in your color A little color commentary on what Lanny
Dikester has been up to since he left the Mets.
So Lenny dist was was a very young ballplayer when
he came up to the Mets, won the World Series
eight six, and he was known for being a hardcore.
They called him Nails. He would run into walls, he
would run over players. He was just a really aggressive,

(29:45):
high strong guy, very high strung um. And then he
went He got traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in a
horrible trade. And once he got to the Phillies, he
clearly started doing steroids. He got huge, started hitting home runs,
and it definitely he screwed with his mind because he
became more aggressive. And then as his playing career winded down,

(30:05):
he was known for having a problem with controlled substances.
He had drinking problems, drug problems. He he spent his
millions on on a bunch of businesses that failed. I
think he opened up some car washes that eventually went
bankrupt anyway since I want to say the late nineties,
he's been a train wreck. He's he goes on reality shows.
I think he's been on that Doctor Drew show. Um,

(30:29):
and and so he's really like he's not partially brain dead.
But if you talk to me like this guy's gotta
like he's mental, He's just he's he's like Nick Nolty.
He's he's been hitting the head too many times. And
so he's made a career off threatening to fight people
UFC style, um, anything he can do to get his
name out and to make money because he clearly doesn't
have any money left from his baseball playing days or

(30:56):
a personalized video message. Now, one more thing. A friend
of mine who works in the radio industry works for
a company that does online television programming well like like
YouTube style shows like web shows, I should say, right,
And they hired Lenny to do a sports show, like
a sports commentary show, and they needed him to come

(31:18):
in to do like, um, like test shows like Oh,
we're gonna put you on with a couple of people,
and we want to see how it's gonna go. He
didn't last one episode. I don't want to get into details.
But let's just say, um, he was a huge problem.
He got himself fired and he quit at the same
time as he was being fired. Uh. And then he

(31:40):
wanted his money, much like you for even though you
don't shove through appearances, you want to get paid. He
wanted to get his money even though he didn't do it.
The details are sketchy, but um, this was I don't know,
three or four years ago. He hasn't changed a bit.
So now that you have an idea of Lenny dextra,
he's a big mess. Really is the point of the story. Right,
So my friend Jamison said, I'm gonna pay Lennys to

(32:03):
send a personal video message to John and Augie Piccolo.
Now is that his asking rate on Cameo? He's asking rates?
How much is you're asking rate? Uht? But it doesn't
but it uh, you don't get You don't get all
the money. Now, see some of the money goes to
Cameo and that's Scamboni, right. I can play the Scamboni

(32:25):
jingle there if but I don't get all that money
that now they make the money, they give you a
piece of it. I think I think, I think I
asked for twelve bro are you worth more than that. Nah,
I can't imagine anybody would want it at least and
even even twenty No, you know what I have to
I'm sorry. I'm bookable for fifteen dollars um, but I,
like you said, you want to get a small portion

(32:46):
of that. U. I don't want to turn down money,
but I feel like while I'm in the house, like
you said, we're not really cleaning up. Uh, don't hit
me up right now for a cameo. Why not? In fact,
I think I have a sales of time to make money,
have anything else going on? I'm looking at my my
completed record. I have seven to find me at Scary
Jones like cameo. I'll do your cameos, all right. I

(33:07):
did from Max's birthday? Is that what you did? I
told you earlier in the when we started this podcast,
I did. I did a cameo for Max. He booked me. Anyway. Yeah,
So anyway, So Jamison pays Lenny to send a message
to Aggie and John Piccolo, who had been trash talking
him and and Jamison told Lenny this, So here's the message.

(33:32):
Let me know. I think the message to the Lenny
was you weren't a very good met you weren't a
very good men, right and then so Lenny is sitting
in the back of a car with the phone in
his own face, and he recorded this. He made have
been driving the car. He was driving the car. And
by the way, he mentioned a bunch of a bunch
of baseball players who are known to be some of
the best players who ever played for the Mets. So

(33:55):
here the name is his personal message right back to Jamison,
give this message to your two by he's John in Okay,
go ahead, and and here it is, Hey, Lenny Baxt
for her nails coming at you from the streets of
l A. I'm cruising down here in hollyw weird. But hey, listen,

(34:15):
I heard you Pickle Brothers from Brooklyn told Jamison that, uh,
and I'm crazy that that that it wasn't the greatest
men that's ever been. Let me give you advice. UM,
I want John Augie, Mike Pazza, Tom Seeber David Wright
to bend over and fuck each other right in the

(34:39):
fucking ass. How's that you like that? Yeah, I said it.
I'm crazy. Nails out By the way, Jamison said to me,
I say that is great. I would pay would you
pay ninety five dollars to have him say something like
that about and and how he has zero fear. I mean,

(35:02):
what if like ESPN picked that up and and David
Wright found out about it. I don't know. Yeah, by
the way, I don't know who Augie is that he's referencing. Um,
not your friend Augie. I have a friend named Aggie.
Oh what are you talking about? Oh? I thought I
think you had a friend named Augie. Know he mentioned no,

(35:23):
he mentioned, uh, the Mets players. I don't know who
unless oh Augie is is Rick aguil is one. No,
Augie is one of the people that that wanted the
message John. Oh, I thought John. He meant John Franco. No, no, no, no,
John and Orgie are the two guys talking him. So
he says he wants he wants to get together. I

(35:47):
heard that part. Yeah, yeah, Mike, you're clipping your nails
over there. No, No, I was paying attention. I just
when he said John, I was trying to I thought
he was mentioning Mets. I thought you mentioned John Franco
is one of the greatest Mets. So all good, Glennie
Dyster classic. Um Me let me tell you about a
guy in I was at another doctor's appointment, this one

(36:07):
was in person. Um, so you're gonna yeah. So I come,
I come out of the building. I'm walking in the
parking lot and a guy is driving really slowly like
he's looking for a spot. So I point like, oh,
I'm gonna get out here if you want my spot,
and he waves to me like no, I'm good. And
I noticed the front of his car is hanging down,

(36:29):
So underneath the grill there's a like a little spoiler
or a little little piece, and it's dragging on the ground.
His front bumper is underneath the bumper is dragging. So
I point to it and uh. He rolls down the
window and I said, hey, do you know that there's
a part of your car hanging down? And he says
really like he doesn't believe me, like he thinks I'm

(36:51):
pranking him. So I said, yeah, the front part of
the molding or something, and he says, oh, yeah, that
happens all the time. Now scary. First of all, if
it happens all the time, why would you ask me
if I meant it, like, why would you why would
you go? Really right, like if my shoelaces opened all
the time, and that was a problem I had. And
you know, he sulace is open, Brody where I go. No, really,

(37:13):
you'd be like, oh, they always open. So he says
to me, oh, it happens all the time, but doesn't
say thank you. So then he drives away and I
see him go to the back of the parking lot
with his no cars and he gets out of the
car and I see him under the car now trying
to fix the part of the car or the bumper,
and he bangs it in place, and he takes some

(37:35):
duct tape from from his trunk and he taps it
back up, which means he's done this a lot right. Yeah, wouldn't.
But he couldn't believe that it was really He's like really,
like he didn't say really, damn it again, thanks man.
Now did he try and get the duct tape to
be the same color as the actual bumper? Was? It was?

(37:57):
He was far away, It was a it was a
brown car, and I think it was silver duct tape.
I don't. It wasn't the kind of guy that cared
about his duct tape matching his bumper. The point was,
I think the normal response should have been, hey, man, thanks,
not again. Yeah, it happens all the time. Thank you
for letting me know. Instead he's like really, and he
was serious, like I was. That's a common response, though,

(38:19):
that's one of a responsive disbelief. He could have meant
like really, like permanently fixed that day. Okay, But then
he should have said really in her voice, could have
said I could have been fixed it. But wouldn't he
say really, damn it? Yeah, I just fixed it yesterday. Hey,
thanks for letting me know. No, he doesn't say thanks.

(38:40):
He says really, and I said yeah, yeah, and then
and then he rolls up his window and then goes
and fixes it. But no, thank you, no thank you
to me. This is what you get for getting involved.
People aren't appreciative. Yeah so so so I'm giving a
minor funk you to bumper Bob. I'm saying fuck you,
bumper Bob because mine. No, he people should be extra

(39:02):
nice right now, extra nice. I didn't have to point
that out to him. Yeah, but he wasn't rude to you?
Was he? Did he spit in your face? Did he
give you the finger? Okay? You want to know about rude.
This happened to me yesterday. I'm coming out of CVS,
and CVS is a the parking lot. No, I'm not
explaining what CVS is. It's a drug store. So now

(39:25):
I believe it's a national change. Yeah, it's national now
yet Anyway, the parking lot is on two sides of
the building, so the door is in the point of
the corner. So there's a parking lot on the left side,
a strip of of you know, across like a two
sided parking lot, and a parking lot on the other side.
So I was parked on the left side, and I'm

(39:47):
coming around the turn to go to the other side
because that's where the exit is. Do you follow me
so far? So I'm I'm passing the entrance and now
I'm going to the left side of the building and
i'm and I'm passing the other row of cars double sided.
And as I'm coming around, this guy in this range
Rover Silver range Rover, he starts backing out right. Now,
he clearly could have seen me had he looked to

(40:08):
the left, because there was there wasn't any cars between
me coming around the turn and him in the first
parking spot, but he wasn't looking. So I beat my
horn so he won't keep backing up. Now, I assume
when a range rover, you've got a backup camera. Fancy pants,
right with a backup camera. And he stops for a
second when I blow the horn, and of course I
keep going. Right who has the right away? The person

(40:31):
backing out of the spot or the person in the
parking lot already driving the person right? So I beat
the horn. I see he stops, he looks at me,
and I keep going. He starts backing up again, so
I blow. I blow the horn again, and he quickly
backs up so that his car is completely blocking me.

(40:52):
He turns to me, gives me the finger and mouth's
fuck you. Right. So so I do like that, know
that somebody that my family's home. So I look at
him and I'm thinking, how can I respectfully respond? Right
with my windows down coronavirus and his windows down? So

(41:14):
I look at him and go, are you seriously yelling
at me over this? You're cursing me? And he rolls
down his window and starts screaming more profanity at me
because he thinks I'm cursing him. So I'm mouthing I'm
not cursing you, and he's so he's screaming at me,
more insulting me, cursing me, you know, because you rolled
your window down and I didn't roll my window down.

(41:36):
But okay, so then the fact that you even but
I was looking, was to look at him and start mouthing,
and I put my hands on crushing him out. So
he started cursing back. I put my hands up, like
are you serious. I was doing like shrug shoulders. I
was like, you're curring. Yeah, but that's starting a fight
right there, that's instigating. So you would have sat there,
let him curse you and give you the finger and

(41:56):
just waved him like, HI, have a nice day, right, No,
So so I let he go. He goes now cursing me.
We get to the light because there's a light at
the exit of the parking lot and across from the
CVS is another shopping center. He goes across the shopping
center where I have to go into the strip roll
another strip roll, so I crossed. I'm still behind him,

(42:19):
and I watched him park, and I thought younger me
would have keyed his car. Younger me absolutely that, Yeah,
I absolutely would have poured soda on his windshield. I
would have done something to him but but if you
then would have had to park near him, and he
could have got back to his car first. He was
seeing that and then got retaliation on yours. So what

(42:41):
I thought was, but what I thought was, if I
do anyto his car, I have to leave. I can't
stay in the strip mall because you know I could
have I could have scratched up his passenger side and
he wouldn't have seen it a week he got home. Right,
you are, You're a spiteful bastard. No, I thought about Listen,
we've all thought about minor crime. We've all like, we've
all like in our heads, gone I should do this,

(43:02):
you don't do it. But I thought about it. Well,
you just said younger, you might have done it young
as as my age. Now where I would I don't
you know what I didn't know, younger, brody, Okay, So
I used to I used to drive an old car.
Um it was. It was an old car that was
built like a tank. Right, What did you used to

(43:25):
actually go through it? This ship? Okay, So let me
let me tell you this story. I was probably oh,
I was in my maybe my early twenties, maybe early twenties,
and I had an incident in a parking lot where
a guy I was making a left to go into
a parking space and this guy out of nowhere comes
flying in and goes into the parking space and hits

(43:47):
me deliberately, I mean not hits me, deliberately, cuts off,
takes the parking space right, and then gives me and
gives me the whole funk you face as and looking
at me like I have no right to be upset.
He took the spot. Now, at that point, he was
driving a nicer car than I was, and I was
driving a car at that point was probably twenty years old.

(44:08):
It was. It was a horse of a car, like
a tank. You couldn't scratch the car if you wanted to.
I may have deliberately dingd his left corner panel. I
may I may have uh, you know, done a little
bump of a bumper on him. Yeah. I'm not proud
of it, But yet I'm still proud of it because
I feel like, you shouldn't be a dick when you're

(44:29):
driving one of the most expensive things you own out
in public. You should you should be somewhat respectful and
don't be like, oh, I took your spot. Fuck you
had he been like, oh, I'm sorry to see you
on my bad. Do you want me to back out?
He was a dick about it. But you know, you
shouldn't be addict to someone who's driving a piece of
ship car that I paid a hundred bucks for at
the time, because those people don't care about their car

(44:52):
and so they don't so they're more likely to f you,
which is what I did back in the day. So
you've never gotten revenge on anybody. You've never liked thrown
water on somebody's house, or or toilet paper something or never.
You never got revenge on anybody. I'm trying to think back.
I feel like I might have been mischievous at one point.

(45:12):
I might have done something, ah, gotten some kind of
revenge on somebody somewhere. It's nothing comes to mind readily,
but I'm sure I did. You know. You know who
used to be like that, Our friend bald freak. Bald
freak Rani. He used to take it out on he
He was crazy expect jobs, jobs that he was about

(45:34):
to quit. He got very brazen. He would give me
an example. Well, well, when he was um, when he
was working for a I guess it was a grocery
store and they had the price guns I think he'd like.
On his way out, he deliberately went and like really,
you know, repriced items at much cheaper than they really were.

(45:56):
So eventually they would they would slowly find out about
his mistakes. It is before things were on computer and
you used to scan the bar codes in uh so,
like you know, that would be like a profit loss
right there. Um, I you know, I'm trying to take
other things. Yeah, but it'll come to me at some point. Okay, Well,
I appreciate you sharing man. Thanks. Hey, hey, listen, I

(46:18):
had one example for you and it wasn't mine. Yeah. Um, um,
you know we could do some email. I have email,
and you know, I did want to get my father
on the phone. I wanted him to talk about I
wanted to talk about what happened him at the bakery
because we were gonna do that last week. We never did.
You know, we haven't taken advantage of the fact that
we could take phone calls on this podcast. Yeah, I
didn't realize you had that technology with your I can

(46:40):
do that, you know what I can do, So we'll
have to schedule my mom today's I can actually pull
up our text message screen, look for some Brooklyn Boys
slices and we could I coun put them on the
air right now. Yeah, I'm gonna hold off on that
this week. Why don't we do that next week when
we can tell people what day we're recording and have
people text in. I'd like to do like an all
request lunch, one of those, you know, one of those

(47:02):
like hey give it, here's an episode where you take
over and we answer your questions. You know what? Um uh?
We could do a zoom We should do a boy
Brooklyn Boys zoom. Oh you know what, I'm gonna tell
you what Elvis tells you every time you suggest something
for the show. He doesn't like you can do that
on your other podcast. Oh you know something, Brodie, You're
no fun. I want to get involved. I want I

(47:25):
don't want to start a zoom room with a hundred slices.
I don't want to get some video going. And we
should do a pot and we you know, because you
could record the screen so we could make do a
podcast live between you and I. We could switch back
and forth and it could be amazing. Remember that thing
we were supposed to do in person and at that
club at that comedy club. Yeah, it hasn't happened. Was
on hold. It's on hold. Okay, But until then, we

(47:47):
can do a zoom room and we could do like
Brooklyn Boys Live. Well, you know, we could route all
thet through. Yeah, well you were you not listening to
the podcast when I told the story about how I
wasn't gonna be on camera even with my own co workers.
Do you remember that? Yeah? But why that was only
because you weren't ship. You didn't shave. I don't want
to put effort in. I mean, I love baseball hat.

(48:09):
It's baseball season. We're a mat hat. Okay, I got
I got so much more content here. We're gonna do
emails or gonna do emails. We can do emails because
I don't want to. We're not gonna talk to my
father right now unless you want to. We can talk
to my dad, but we don't have to do that either. Well,
here comes we can. We can talk to you what
you're talking about. I told you got the bakery about

(48:30):
about the lady in front of him wasn't wearing a mask?
Oh okay, and well you know what, that's a good
segue to my story for the woman in the supermarket
that wasn't wearing a mask and I had a little,
a little run in with her. So we'll just do
a couple of emails, just a couple, all right, what
do we got talk? That sounds like it's mail time. Welcome,

I agree with Brodie that it is very, very annoying
that when you turn off your cell phone or kindle,
plug it into the charger and then it turns back on.
I'm off of thank you you're saying, right. This has
been something that has been a pet peeve of mine forever,
and I never thought to write to the manufacture of

(49:35):
my phone or kindle to complain. My personal cell phone
is an iPhone, and yes, scary it does indeed happen
to iPhones, and I curse up and down every time.
Thank you, Teresa ray Pack Woodbridge, New Jersey as a
bright woman. Thank you. Okay you liked her anybody else?
Counterpoint Susie Meyer wrote to our Facebook page at the
Brooklyn Boys hang up on her. Hey, scary, scary with

(50:00):
two rs and one E. It's the opposite of that.
I feel bad for you for life. Just listen to
episode and why First of all, she says, why couldn't
you call your dad? Well, we didn't get to it.
We we promised things and run out of time all
the time. That doesn't mean we're not gonna get to it.
But we had to listen to over and over about
Brodie's appointment. Ran just not fair And I love you both.

(50:24):
Listener forever, Susie, don't mess with my grammar. I went
to public school. Well, um, what do you mean we
had to listen to it over and over again? One
of those do it once? I don't know. No, you
could skip it if you didn't like it. Also, um,
Whitney Lubert wrote to us and said, hey, guys, hope

(50:47):
this email finds you well during such chaotic times. Well,
I know that the email changeing system of how it
delivers email. Is that affected? Oh, I know what, I
know what they mean. I know okay, But what's the
interesting finding us and finding us well? Um? Because they
hope we're in good spirits that were where things are
going well for us. I'm Whitney. I'm giving you ship. Anyway.

(51:09):
My name is Whitney. I'm on the communications team for
a professional eater named Randy Santel. He's a social media influencer.
He's an entrepreneur, so he wants to connect Randy with
influential podcasters and give him an putting him on the
Brooke and Boys podcast, he says. She says that Randy

(51:32):
has a knack for captivating and connecting with audiences with
his upbeat personality and unique background. And wait a second,
isn't that why we're here? But anyway, I digress. Um,
Randy is interested in speaking about professional eating and other things.
I don't know. She's it's it's it's it's a guest pitch.
Do we want do we want? Not Randy the professional eater?

(51:55):
And why why wouldn't we see? Now? And now here's
the thing this is, this is exactly where I would
pivot and say if we did Brooklyn Boys Live over Zoom.
We should have him on and we should do a
a cannoli eating challenge and have him like actually performed
for us. That would be a guest performer, don't you
think now? I bet he could eat more if he

(52:16):
wasn't on Zoom. Oh my god, he's eating seven three canalis.
Would visual entertainment for the masses? Come on, now, I'm
trying to think out of the box here, Brody, out
of the box of cannolies. Here's what he can do.
He can put up a YouTube video and have people
watch it. That'd be good, That'd be fine. I just
don't think that's an enthralling guest for us to have

(52:37):
on the on the podcast. I think it's a unique ability.
I wouldn't want to interview him. I would want him
to actually do what he's known for and in a
visual setting. So when we do Brooklyn Boys Live, we
have him on and we we have a cannoli eating
contest or something. Do you think do you think people
want to as they're listening to us to a podcast,
see a guy on the on the right corner of

(52:58):
the screen munching down on cannolis with cream shooting out
like a ZiT. I'd rather watch that then, you know,
I mean, listen, they put the sign language guy up
every time the governors in the mayors are doing their
speeches because people can't hear I know, but just think
about some side entertainment going on in the corner of
the screen while we're you know, while the main show

(53:20):
is going on. So it's like, if something goes boring
or if someone runs off on you know, a tangent
about their phone waking up when they plug it into
the wall. Having that that comedy in the back in
the side of the screen would be hilarious. I'll do
the guy in the upper right corner eating the cannolis.
If in the bottom right corner, we can have your
theory of of webcam Gyna college gynecological appointments in the

(53:43):
bottom right corner. How about that? Listen, I just gave
the listener to some food for thought, okay, because people
no one was thinking about it and I was. And
if and if we let mess your question, if we
had the guy in the top right corner right, and
the woman getting the guy, no, examine the bottom right
corner and we say tune into zoom to watch a
guy eating the cannoli. Do you think people would look

(54:04):
to the top right or the bottom right. I think
they'd go to the bottom right. You're right, But I
think we should have a three ring circus. We should
have us in the middle doing our podcast live. Okay,
we can have like up to a hundred people. I
think if you get the pro version of zoom, you
got up to five slices in the room at the
same time we recorded the screen. We record the podcast

(54:25):
so people can see it in a later date, and
we literally have these these crazy, these odd balls of
life doing their thing in each corner of the screen,
like four things going on in each corner while we're
in the middle doing our podcast, and we're, by the way,
paying no attention to any of it. You just turned
us into the how It Stern show? You did you

(54:47):
just you just turned us into the how It starts
television show. Work with me, baby, Come on. I had ideas.
We'll get a sword swallower. Yes, you can learn how
to juggle. That'll be great. This is all some I
think the listens are gonna go for this. I don't
know why we're not gonna put this thing. It didn't
by the way, it doesn't cost us anything. Budget. Yeah, hey,

(55:07):
I know one person that you don't need a budget.
I know one person that's not going to go for this.
Who's that? That would be me not doing it. I'm
not doing television shows. We can we can introduce act
we can we could say look and now for our
next next uh the next three minutes? Okay, instead of
taking commercial breaks, we can have eating contest break. We'll

(55:29):
call it the Brooklyn Boys Podcast, and we'll just have
people doing odd things in the background. I'm still not
doing it. This is the one that we charge in
nicol An episode, a Diamond episode for we do it
a special episode of just the oddities of life. Listen,
we grew up, you grew up, and we grew up
in the shadows of Coney Island. You just they had

(55:49):
side shows where guys literally chewed and swallowed light bulbs,
where where swords swallowers, and the and the and the
and the what is it the amazing stretching woman? Did
you had? We had crazy? The craziness. We can bring
all that back into our podcast. Did you just call
it the oddest tease? Yes, you did, you said it.

(56:11):
We'll have the Oddest Tease the oddities of tease of life.
Think of where we are, our roots, Brody, oh my god.
And then you know Cony, the great side shows of
Coney Island. We could bring them back into our podcast.
I'm onto something here and you're not hearing me. And
then we can have all the women of our of
our audience to like a runaway show. They could take

(56:33):
turns and like model like evening wear. Let's let's maybe
we can get an animal trainer on who can bring
in a different animal every week and uh and explain
the animals to us. You know, the possibilities are endless.
Zoom Brooklyn Boys live on Zoom. We could because because
you know what everyone's gonna be from their own houses.
That's all we gotta do is set up the appointments.

(56:54):
We pipe them in. Boom, you got center stage for
the next three minutes. Let's see your act. I'm not
doing that. No, no, I got an original idea. Stupid
patricks done before. Hey, you don't you know what we
should do? We should have any dikestraw on and just
close caption him in the corner so people can read
what he's thinking. Yes, I love it. Or we could

(57:15):
put we do have a mic where he's just babbling
for like a half hour and everyone. Once in a
while we'll turn on his mic and we'll see who
he's offending next. Okay, all right, can we move on
back to the email? All right? Let me are you've
done with email? Because I wanted to read a couple
of a couple of things I got from listeners. The
email ended like months ago, you know, all right, let
me so, I want to read a tweet from Bobby Chechia,

(57:38):
one of one of my most interactives on Twitter. He said,
and from a great company like Hershey, and he put
a picture we I think we've talked about this before.
Somebody sent me a picture of Hershey. Hershey sells white milk.
They sell white milk and chocolate milk. And so his
point was, I can't believe even Hershey calls it white milk.
I'll tell you why. I'm doubly offended by that. By

(58:00):
the way, Bobby, thank you for that. Hershey makes chocolate, right, Yeah,
do they label their chocolate brown chocolate? No? Never, they
have milk and dark because that actually speaks to the
flavor and how much cocaw is it? Right? And if
they sell white chocolate. It'll be white chocolate, but because

(58:21):
it's a distinction from the typical chocolate. So if anyone
on the planet were to know better than to call
white milk white milk, if you want to write non
chocolate because you're you're worried that people will confuse it.
But I'm looking at a picture of the box. Scary
on the picture of the box is milk pouring into
a glass. The whole cover of the box of milk

(58:44):
is white. It's white. So you're looking at the milk
and it's white milk. So I understand that people are
gonna go, well, it's Hershey, you'll assume it's chocolate. I
get that. But the milk boxes white and the milk
pouring into the cup is white, and it says milk
and says milk, So that should be enough. Let me

(59:05):
see there's another picture. I wanted a reference. Oh, I
wanted to talk about um, this problem we talked about
last week. And again, I'm not looking to offend anybody.
I just feel like not everyone as a hero. Can
we can we still agree with that? Okay? So I
want to read you some of the text messages that
we got this by the way we should have had
a parody. We could do this for next time. Yeah,

(59:25):
and we can whole segment. I'm not a hero baby.
You are not a hero baby. So I'm gonna read these. Yeah,
I'm gonna Okay. So this person wrote, there are a
lot of essential workers you don't know about. We are
a company that makes rope for the Navy. We should
be acknowledged to m You are not a hero baby. Okay,

(59:53):
I'm gonna say. I'm gonna save that one for last. Oh.
This person said, please thank railroaders. I haven't heard any
anyone thank them yet. Thank you? What what do they
mean by can you clarify? I don't know what that means?
What's a railroad? Is it someone who convinces you to
do something you didn't want? Railroads? You into it working
on the railroad? All right, So again, thank you for

(01:00:16):
keeping the road the trains going. But I don't know
if I okay, um, oh, okay, now I want I
wouldn't care about thanking them. But listen to the phrasing.
One group of heroes and by the way, they spelled
hero wrong. One group of heroes, you're spelled you're wrong.

(01:00:36):
One group of heroes you're not talking about is the
group of people that are working to make sure people
have health care and enrolling them so hopefully they won't
face big bills. Now very important, But is are they
hero worthy? Scary? No? Okay, don't forget about the people
working at card dealerships, helping keeping, helping people with a

(01:01:00):
helping to keep all the essential cars in good shape. Important.
Love car dealerships especially. Don't hit the jingle. Hit the jingle,
you hit the jingle, you quarantine, son of a bit. Okay,

(01:01:21):
I have a couple more and then we'll we'll wrap
it up. Um. This person wrote, hold on, oh what
about bankers again? Bankers, I'm still going to work every
day and providing you all your money that you have
on deposit. I feel like we're being left out. Okay, okay,

(01:01:42):
um now this the next two really got to me
and I really want your feedback on this one. Scary
Elvis had just thanked did a whole speech about the
importance of our Our medical professionals are nurses, are doctors,
and all the people involved in that e m s
all of them right, police fire for all of that.

(01:02:04):
This person texted in, don't forget retail workers. We are
just as important. Retail workers are just as important as
the doctors and nurses and the police m hmm and
firefighters yeah mm hmmm, and e M t s and paramedics.

(01:02:27):
So they're the retailers are right there at the same
level with them right now again, and that it's very
important there in the public. They're risking, they're they're risking
getting sick. I get it, right, I have utmost you know,
I worked in retail for for years. I did I
did the job, and I didn't do it under under
these circumstances. I just don't think that the term as important,

(01:02:48):
like important. But I said I wanted your opinion on that,
and then here's the last one, and I don't. I
don't want to be again, I'm not looking at to
be like grumpy Gusts here. But this person texted in,
all right, should garbage men be considered first responders? Right now?

(01:03:13):
You understand that first responders that term means when there's
an emergency, a murder, a fire, right, the people that
respond first are the police and firefighters E M. S. Right, Okay,
They're the first people to get there. So by definition,
aren't you like the last responder to show up for

(01:03:37):
the garbage. Now again very important. I wouldn't want to
touch people's garbage right now, especially, I mean, I think
of doing a great job, they could be spreading the
rona through the garbage. That's a very dangerous job right now.
Right you know what, I'm gonna disagree with you. No, no, no,
no no no. I didn't say is it Is it
an important job? Are they first responders? That's what the responders?

(01:03:58):
That was the thing, dude. I do think to deserve
a thank you. Absolutely, I'll put them in the second category. Absolutely,
the definitely deserve the shadows. My my, My point of
reading this wasn't to not thank people, because I am
very appreciative of the people that are working hard every day,
leaving their kids at home risk and getting sick and
bringing it back into their house. So I have nothing

(01:04:19):
but respect for everyone who's out out working uh and
keeping keeping the machine moving. Um. I just when you
use terms like we are just as important as nurses,
I feel like I don't want to take anything. That's
my real point. I don't want to take anything away
from the medical professionals who many of them you watch
the news, they're dying, trying to save people's lives. That's all.

(01:04:41):
I just want to make sure we keep them on
a plateau and everybody else right right below him doing
a great job, and we appreciate them. I just we can't.
You can't. You can't thank everyone in life. Just know
that we appreciate you, even if you don't get the
appreciation we're we're all. We all know what you're doing
in how hard you're working, that's all. My friend J

(01:05:01):
is a garbage man. I know what he's going through.
Um he works for New York Sanitation, and I believe me,
I understand how difficult it is. UM. That being said,
I don't think my garbage men should consistently take my
garbage pails from one side of my driveway and drag
them fifteen feet and leave them in front of my driveway.
Is that fair to say, even though we have the

(01:05:22):
the quarantine going on. Is that a fair question? That's fair?
That's fair so that when you come home you have
to drive around your own garbage pails or get out
of your car and move them. I feel like you
they know that they need to they need to do
that part of the job that they've always done right.
Otherwise they don't get a tip at holiday time. And
I gave them a tip. My wife gave them a tip.
But I feel like we gave them a tip. No,

(01:05:43):
but now the tip is retro See the tip is
for everything they did in twenty nineteen. It's not for
going forward. Well, I'll give you two arguments. Then if
it's if it's four, then you got to do the
right thing by me. If it's for twenty, then are
you hoping to get a tip this year? Don't then
don't leave the garma saying you're gonna get coling you're stocking.
Had they just gone four more feet, they could have

(01:06:05):
been on the other side of my driveway, which is
also my property, that would have been fine. But I've
been moving my garbage pails more to the left every
week so that they would be further from my driveway
because they were like, oh, they kept like putting them
like like a foot into my driveway. So this time
I moved the three garbage pails like ten ft away
from my driveway. And they must have like been doing
it on the run, Like the truck didn't stop and

(01:06:27):
they were dumping and running and they're all of my driveway,
and I'm nice to them. Hi, how are you guys? Hey?
Stay safe? Maybe I should, you know, be nice. I
don't know. I've been very nice. I don't know. I
don't Uh right, are you done? Yeah, we're done. We're
done for this week. I have fifteen more things to do.

(01:06:48):
Go for it. Well, no, we'll be here all day.
I gotta go. My family saw him. The dogs were barking. Uh.
Next week, I'll try to get my mom on I wanna.
I want to have a bone to pick with her.
She sent me something on a Facebook messenger, and I'm
very upset with what she sent me. So we'll try
to get her on the phone next weekend. And your
dad also, okay, sounds like a plane alright, hit the

(01:07:09):
damn chamber? So boys brong what Brooklyn? Dah boys Brooklyn,
Brooklyn da Boys brock Brooklyn
