We just go. We go for it. We hit the ground,
we missed, we missed our mark, and we just keep rolling.
You're a fan of that, Why not? That's the best.
I sat down on my basement studio here. Of course,
when I say studio, I mean folding table and a
(01:41):
folding chair, and I said, hey, Scary, how's it going.
You're like, oh, low your headphones. I said, what you said? Okay,

you had phones are And I said, yeah, I have
something I want to talk to you great, and you
hit the music and you started the damn show. I'm
not ready. You're always ready, you were born ready. You
wanted some four play. I wanted a little like uh,
(02:03):
Brodie scary banter, like what we're gonna talk about? Where
we going? No, because these are the best podcast Well,
you just don't know where it's gonna go. We just
kind of throw things out there. See that's exactly it.
I feel like we've been too calculated in the past
few months. We've been doing too much show prep. We've
been doing too much of the talk beforehand for a
half hour, and then I start getting tired, and I
lose my energy and I lose much your podcast consultant
(02:25):
told you that we do not have a podcast consultant.
You do, I don't. I took a little bit of
a nap today. I said, I got a nap before
the podcast because last couple of weeks I haven't been
doing that. Okay, it makes all the difference in the world.
Does I nap every day? But I'm screwed tomorrow. I
am completely screwed. Why Well, so I the show ends,
(02:45):
we get off the air on I don't know, nine
East Coast time. Yeah, and I take a nap usually
till I like to. I like to, like, you know,
meander for a while and then take a nap around
ten thirty the Brody daily routine. This is the pandemic routine, right.
So around ten thirty, I watched on TV catch up
on on the MLB network. Make sure there's no no
sports going on. I need to know about as far
(03:07):
as baseball, watch little news, no, and then I can't
out for a few hours. That's my nap time. So
I made I made a purchase at a PC Richard
and Son our friends, UM not a sponsor of this podcast,
but uh, you know, I got a good deal because
I got like a last one available of the model
(03:29):
I wanted. I got lucky. I got a good deal.
So they said, when you want to deliver it? I said,
when you have available? Is said Thursdays. Thursdays great, Thursday's great,
but you don't know what time Thursday until the day
before when they call you and tell you the time. Okay, okay.
So then we get an email from the big Boss
of New York of I Heart Radio, big Boss with
(03:50):
the big Schwartzenega talks like this and I like him
very much. And he says in his email like he
used the Austrian font so it had an accent. Uh,
please submit your questions for all staff meeting on Thursday. Well,
I don't don't know what the meetings about, so how
can I submit my questions? Did you notice that? What
(04:10):
questions would I have? I don't know what the meeting
is about. My first question is what am I getting
a raise? That's everybody's first question, right, I'm sure that
one they're gonna bypass, right, So then so then so okay,
So the email came out today that said, okay, don't
ask about when we returning to the office. Everyone's aready
ask that question, So please ask other questions, So you
(04:30):
can't ask that question. That one's off the table. Well,
I feel like that's already asked it. Everyone's gonna ask
that question. But that that's going to be the most
popular question tomorrow, I don't know what to ask. The
point is the meeting tomorrow, right is it? Ten thirty
to eleven thirty, the Big Zoom meeting. Okay, so right
after the show, I've got maybe thirty five minutes to
(04:51):
maybe take a power napp before this meeting, right at
ten thirty, Okay, I figured to myself eleven thirty boom,
I'll take a nap. Then I'll take my tenn no problem,
and hopefully the window will be eight to twelve. It'll
happen either when we're on the air, in which case
(05:11):
I'll just let them in and let them put the
thing in I'm on the air, or they'll come like
you know, for to eight right right? No, get this?
What time do they want to get there? Oh? This
is the I've never heard of a four hour window
like this before. Am I complaining? Just pointing out the
fact that our that our meeting is ten thirty to
eleven thirty PC Richard and Son up to three forty five. No,
(05:39):
I'm sorry, eleven forty five to forty five is the
three now right right now, as of right now, you
can't get a nap in until at least three pm
tomorrow because because we go from we go from the show,
the morning show, to this big, big town hall meeting,
we're having to your BC Richard delivery and you gotta
(06:00):
be up for that. Okay, Then what happens at a
quarter to four, Well, you know what happens at a
quarter to four. I go pick my daughter up at school,
so I it's it's actually perfectly timed out to not
allow me to have any So I have to hope
that they arrive at exactly eleven forty five, because here's
what happens they and this happens with every company you know,
that satellite cable, whoever, you know, everybody's company house. They
(06:21):
give you the four our window. They come at four
hours and ten minutes, right or they come at three
hours and fifty six minutes. But you can't now because
they can trump at any minute because you know they're
not coming at or new or anything like that. So
you can get a little bit of a delivery. And
that's the first delivery. You don't know, right, but they
come from Long Island all the way on Farmingdale, so
(06:42):
you know you're the last delivery because you're in Jersey.
That right, I'm probably right, or I'm one of the last.
So I can't nap because I'm afraid I fight. If
I don't hear the doorbell, then I missed my delivery. Right,
So again, not mad at them, just saying, so you
will be going without your nap tomorrow. Yes, well, you're
full of energy right now. You have your not today, right,
and that's all that matters that I posted a picture
(07:04):
of of of me at PC Richard outside. I'm like,
it's gonna be a fun day because you know me scary.
If something plugs in, I love it, like I just
I like Tonics. I gotta say, during the past year
of this freaking pandemic, I have I have upgraded a
lot of technology in my house. I've done a lot.
In fact, I just a brand new webcam I got
(07:25):
for when we go video, when we do video, when
we do live streaming, when we get to that point,
who's we you and me? Remember episode one oh seven
when we joked about episode one oh seven when when
when I joked about wouldn't it be great to do
the podcast from home, and we were in the in
the cushy studio, and you left and you you yelled
because there was an email that just came in about it,
(07:47):
and you yelled. We will never do our podcast from
our houses ever. We will never go there. Scary as
long as I live and I but it will be great,
It'll be awesome, and it'll be an awesome switch up.
We'll guess what. We've been doing it for the past
five can thirty two weeks from our houses, so you
know what. I bought myself a live streaming webcam because
you never know when we're gonna do live streaming video
(08:08):
for our podcast, and know exactly when we're gonna do
it when when hell freezes over. I'm not doing video
al right whatever. I can't wait. But I bought some
flood lights and this is my point lights, my listen,
I'm back to see your face when I got When
we do zoom calls in the daytime and I'm sitting
here at my desk, I am back lit like a
(08:28):
motherfucker because the sun is out and backing me and everything,
and I look like the banker on deal or no deal.
So I'm I'm telling you right now, wear a bag
on your head. My point. Yeah, I'm a silhouette. So
I bought the professional movie The Lights with Boy for
them with barn doors. I have a ring light, I
got three lights. I got three point lighting system here,
(08:50):
which is a professional studio. You have barn doors, like
like you're an ugly animal. What does that mean? The
barn doors are the little black shutters that are that
you can adjust on the light. That's how Auntie these
lights are. So I got three of them, which is
a studio set, a professional studio setup. And this freaking
Mevo webcam which is phenomenal. Drop with me. It's a
(09:11):
ten A DP man good thing records in four K.
You can listen. You want to talk about gadgets, and
I've bought a lot. And that's because I'm fucking bored.
Because what would I be doing, Brodie? If these Warren
Corona Corona times, what would I be doing? You'd be
out of a restaurant, I'd be wherever. I'd be out wherever,
partying I'd be, you know. But this is what occupies
(09:33):
my time and my money. Now, I just I'm building
up my home situation, you know. Now. Now I'm gonna
get a backsplash for my kitchen. Maybe i'll redo my bathroom.
Who knows. I have a question. You said the camera
was ten a d P four k. Yeah, you know
those are two different things, right, No, no, no no, one
one ten no no, no. It records. It records in
(09:54):
four k onto its microdisc, but it streams live in
ten eighty BECAU because that's the maximum it does. Don't
funk with me, Brody. I know what I did. I
know what I thought you were like the way. The
point is, I see you're spending a million, three and
other million dollars on equipment to make yourself look better. Right,
I'm gonna read the email a little while from the
woman who pointed out that it was episode one or
(10:16):
seven where Brody refused to ever do the podcast from
home because I didn't expect a pandemic to hit, you know,
every hundred years, I should have anticipated it. Listen, I
I wanted. I'm really excited right now because this isn't
really a scam. But I thought it was a scamboni
at first. But it's not a scamboni. It's just you're texted.
First of all, you texted me major Scamboni. Well it's
(10:37):
it's it's a straight up catfish. Okay. Second of all,
three minutes ago I mentioned I posted a picture of
me outside PC Richard's son. I just said one quick,
one thing I want to say about it. I want
to give a shout out to Andy Lyman L Y
M A N. You're taking a piss. No, my washing
machine is draining. Hold on, it sounds like you're taking
a piss. Yeah, I'm taking my headphones off. Hold on
(11:00):
the hell, I swear to guy, it sounds like a
toilet or something. Why don't you get some soundproofing for
your little uh den studio over there? Can we can't
we waste it all this time, Brodie, I can't believe
this guy in the middle of the podcast. You got
(11:21):
dream too. If I took my headphones off, I'm talking
to the listeners the slices. I made a tactical error. See,
I told you I don't want to start the podcast
because I had like six minutes left or seven minutes
left on the washing machine. Because okay, the reason we're
getting a new washing machine is that this one has
to two problems with it that I tried to get fixed.
One of them is a u L error, which is
un level load. All right. I hate when that happens.
(11:43):
I got every once in a while it thinks it's unleveled,
like there's more towels on one side than the other. Right, yes,
so it stops. You have to like move stuff around
and hit start again. The other one is SD okay,
suck your own dick. No, that's r S and your day.
I don't do that. If it my washing machine did that,
I wouldn't be replacing it. So the SD error says
(12:04):
there's too many suns in the machine. But guess what,
there's no suns in the machine. There's also no ghost
to the machine, thank you please. So we have to
get a new machine. So I came down here because
the washing machine should have ended an hour and a
half ago and it's stuck in on level load. So
I leveled it out and I hit the I hit
the stock button, and I had like a couple of
minutes left, and then you're like, let's go, yeah, because
(12:25):
I have something to get to. I have something with
it with an expiration date on it. We gotta milk.
No way saw I stopped it and I opened the
lid so it wouldn't. But again, because I opened the lid,
it figured it must it should drain itself. So it
decided just now to drain itself. And that's okay. Everyone
forgives you. But again Instagram, I want to give a
shout out to Andy Lyman, who said, because I didn't
(12:46):
write what I bought, I just put a picture up
that I was going in to buy stuff. He said,
so what did you buy? The suspense is killing me.
So I want to ask Andy a question now that
you know I bought a washing machine? Was it worth
the wait? Like? I hope your day was more interesting
work what I want at PC rechard Son. So what
was your SCAMBOONI? Well, it was a major scamboni. Get
hold on, this is not a scamboni. We're not gonna
(13:09):
yours will be a scamboni. This is more who said
this is more of a catfish. It's it's because it's
not really a SCAMBOONI because what happened in the end,
you lie to me. It's not you relixed in me.
Hold On, you texted me, um, you said, are you
close to being home? I got a huge scamboni. The
plot twist, yes, I do, but it's not. Okay, I'm
gonna let him tell the story I have. I have
a Slice for Life on the phone, ready to go.
(13:30):
So the plot twist is it's not a scamboni. No, no,
no no. Do you know how we've been talking on
this podcast about about, you know, going to dating sites
and getting cat fished. Yes, someone's using your profile picture? Right. Okay, Well,
so there's this guy Mike okay who the guy named
Mike from Brooklyn by the way, who's tell okay, what
(13:51):
are the odds? Guy named night, Mike from Brooklyn, okay,
who basically wanted to hook up Maureen. Okay, Maureen. Maureen
is a hook up with Marin marine up. But Maureen
is like, fuck these dating sites funck, all these trolls
and assholes. Um so why don't you pretend you're me
and find me a man? So meet Mike from Brooklyn.
(14:14):
What's up? Mike? Yeah? What up? Boys? How are you? Mike?
This is it's it's it's more like an honest scamboni,
though it's not like a full scamboni. Thank you, thank you,
thank you. You could an honest scamboni. This know, that's
an oxymorn. You can't do that. She didn't, she didn't
(14:37):
come to me with it. It was like, you know,
she's as single and she's you know, very good looking,
best friends with my wife, single and I just couldn't
believe it. I said, you know, why don't you go
on a date dating website? She was like, no, you
don't understand how those things are. It's it's fucking ridiculous
out there. I was thinking, how hard could it be?
So I said, I'll make you a profile, and that's
(14:58):
how this started going. So but before you go any further,
why don't you explain now, by the way, if you
were a guy out there on these dating sites, like
you know, back in the day, I once was, this
is why women, this is why women never ever get
back to you, or why you get one or two
messages to get a day because it's a guy running me.
(15:19):
No no, no, no, no no, Mike, why don't you
explain you posing as a hot woman, okay, what you
experienced and how your eyes popped out of your head?
What goes on as soon as a woman the second
a woman opens up her fucking dating profile that day,
it's like, oh, it's Tuesday. Let's see if I got
a new messages? What do you see? Explained to Brodie
(15:40):
and everybody listening. It was impossible to understand what I
was gonna go through. Like it was like fresh fish
in a in a prison. It was just like as
a guy that you still on dating websites. I would get,
you know, one or two messages a day. I opened
that profile for her. Now to be clear, year she
had nothing to do with it. So I picked the
(16:02):
pictures I did, I did everything. It was only linked
on my phone and I opened the profile. I'm not
I'm not joking. I threw on my song. I got
like a hundred messages a day, and ninety nine of
them out of a hundred were like you were a princess.
I want to lick your feet. Where do you live?
I'm gonna come there now, like it was a fucking
(16:24):
jungle out there. I'm not serious, So don't do. First
of all, no wonder why guys can't nice guys can't
get a word in edgewise and get any messages back.
And secondly, if you're a woman, you're creeped out by
this ship and you're you have your guard up and
you build up walls. It was crazy like and other
guys would just be like, you know, I have a
Lexus and uh, you know, and a Ferrari, like which
(16:45):
car do you want me to pick you up in?
Fully sushi on the beach and look at the moon.
It was like one after the next. I was like
the funk that I sign up for. It was crazy,
really crazy. And then guys talking to themselves. I would
get eight nine mess in a row like like when
do you want to hang out? I'm available Friday? Are
(17:07):
you available Friday? And in the end it was a
good system, like so I would weed out like let's
say there was a normal looking guy, came out pretty nice.
I would show my wife. Sometimes she would take it back,
and sometimes she would be like, you know, this has
a shot. And then I would give it to a
Maureen who would say, you know, all right, just could
go somewhere and she would take over from how Maureen
had nothing to do with this the entire time until
(17:29):
you were ready to like, you know, throw a guy
at her. Not not a fucking thing. I did a
complete screening process. But I and by the way, if
you're a guy out there, because a tip I can't
tell you the amount of Jim selfies Dad from selfies,
like just these got awful pictures of like no wonder
you can't as a girl, you can't find something someone
(17:50):
out a day thing impossible, literally a possible. Now, did
you show these pictures to your friend Maureen? Did she
like any of the pictures? Yes? So every now and
then she would she would take over and she would,
you know, chat with them, and then a lot of
it went nowhere and where it gets funny and interesting
is so the guy she eventually ends up with. I
would show her and she was like, yeah, all right,
(18:11):
and I would keep talking to him and I was like, listen,
this is and furious. You know, why didn't you come
over Friday for drinks and we'll talk to him together.
But when she came over, like I had to explain
everything in three days of like chatting with this random dude,
which felt so awkward to begin with because she can't
ask them, ask them where where do you work? Because
I asked them three fucking days ago? So you had
(18:34):
a prep Maureen for this guy she's about to meet
a person. You ruined all her chit chat, right right?
I ruined no not in person, like, so when she
came over my house with my wife her drinks, she
just like we pulled up the computer and took over
the conversation. But yeah, I had to prep her for
everything that she should have known about him. When this
(18:55):
guy wanted pictures of Maureen, did you you send current
pictures of Maureen? Or did you get Maureen to pose?
And some lingerie like what what? What? What is your
wife allowing you to do? So? So on the on
the app, I already posted like four or five pictures
of her, like good pictures, so he knew what she
looks like for the most parts. And when they went
to dinner he finally saw her in first right, But
(19:17):
would your wife, let's say she didn't have any sexy pictures,
would your want to let you take like, hey, Maureen,
I need some cleavage shots? Would she let you take
some cleavage shots for the cause? It's a good question,
you know, maybe I'll have to show the project over
and uh for the next time, save that for next time. Yeah,
my wife's pretty cool, maybe, but and I don't want
(19:38):
to be anti climatic a stipps at the end. But
they winded up getting engaged and not only that, they
were like so yeah, that they're engaged and now they're
they're so overwhelmed with what I did for them, they
asked me to officiate their wedding. How crazy is this?
Who told the guy who did that? But oh so
after a couple of days she didn't say right away,
(19:59):
but when they we're definitely getting cool, and she wanted
him to meet us. I think like either that night
or the next night we les we got game. So
so she was like, Steve, I want you to meet
the guy you were talking to who we're pretending to
be me the entire time. Maureen one, Hey, Steve, I
(20:22):
gotta go. He wanted question Mike, So what was the
Were there any pictures of this guy Steve that he
sent to you slash Maureen, like shirtless with his hand
down his pants, Like, was there any pictures where he go,
Holy sh it, I sent these pictures to Mike. No,
we had never got that far, and they were he
(20:44):
had like maybe six or seven profile pictures. It was
enough to get a little foot. It never got I
didn't you know, I was not taking a bath far
Obviously he didn't go. He didn't cross any lines, but
oh my god, man, that's the guy's less. I mean,
I'm not I'm not exaggerating. Like, over the course of
three or four weeks, I probably went through like two
to three thousand messages and it was insane. What these
(21:06):
guys say insane. Now, did you write them back like
a woman or did you write them back like a man?
Or did you ignore them? Other words? Did you write
back and go, hey, buddy, don't be a dick right like?
Did you write back in mike, dude, it's so funny
you asked that. It took me a while to get
into like the woman groove of ship because so I
would like screenshot my wife like messages on some conversations
(21:29):
that may have had potentials, and she would just text
me back like she's be like, dude, you sound like
such a guy. She's like up the girl up a
little bit girl. So, so how do you transform a
guy statement to make that same statement or get your
point across by being a girl? Please? Dress did you
dress up? Did you dress up a little? A lot
(21:50):
of a lot of L O l's emojis like abbreviation
emoji heavy, emoji heavy. So that's great to try and
put your try and take yourself out of your own
shoes and put yourself in the mind of a woman. Actually,
I'll give you I'll give you a specific example of
one guy said I work in the city. I was like, oh,
that's cool, Like the city's a junal now the days, mccrony,
(22:11):
you gotta be careful you don't get sucking shots or
mugged by a drug addict wrote that, Yeah, my wife
was like, you idiot. She's like a girl would never
say that to a guy. So like, I had to
tow it down a little bit. So how did you
say it? Well, I already said that, how did you
How did you recover? How did you recover? From Mike?
You're not gonna sound like Marie like, yeah, a bunch
(22:32):
of jabronies are walking around the street, right I think.
I think I blew it with that guy, thank god,
But like the the next couple of guys that wherever
the conversation. When I I a lot, I find this
so fascinating. I find this so cool. And by the way,
I find this so lazy on the part of a
part of Maureen who's just like, yeah, fuck it, just
find me somebody and and just throw my you know
(22:53):
what now understandably. I think she was exhausted from it
because she's done it in the past. So she was like,
I give up, Like that's why she was singled. She
was like, you want to give it a shot. You
could fucking try, but you know, I'm I'm done. Like backup.
If radio and these podcasts don't work for me, I
think I could. I could do what you did. You
can't be a woman, man, I feel like a woman.
(23:16):
I can do it. I can do it. It's very
difficult and it feels unnatural. It's very difficult because, uh, Mike,
you realize when when somebody says to Maureen, hey, how
did you and Steve meet? She was like, oh, uh,
he he met this guy friend of mine on a
date on a dating app, he said. Ultimately, he's ultimately like,
(23:37):
oh yeah, he met a guy a friend of mine
who's a guy on on a dating app, and he
passed him up to me. You basically catfished. You catfished
this dude you did on her. They get asked that
all the time. I think she said, don't hold me
to this. Like they had a tough time explaining to
their parents, like how this all went down, Okay, why
(23:57):
don't they just explain it as I met him on
a dating app, that's it, or through a dating app.
We met through I think so in a way, it's
just what we call a scamboni but or a catfish.
But the plots wish being they're engaged. Yeah. I know,
but this guy, Steve, this guy, listen, Maureen must be
(24:19):
smoking hot because basically Steve got catfished by a dude
pretending to be a woman. Yes, he got spoken. He
fell for male male font and thought it was female
fond female font. Right, So if I'm him, I'm going
was I attracted to Mike the whole time? Was I
exactly like what Mike wrote to me? That's why you
(24:42):
know that I never thought that that's a great point.
That's brody, by the way, when it's the clever and
fightful stuff, it's brody. Yeah, this guy may have had
feelings for the masculine person typing because you were you
were you as much as you were trying to be female.
You were typing like Mike, and that's what he marked.
(25:04):
He loved. He fell in love with Mike. He fell
in love with Mike talking sports. He's like, Wow, this
girl is really cool, she's in this girl marine. I
called into to get to give you guys inside on this,
But you just threw me for loophole, because if you
if you gotta think about it for a loophole, you know, Mike,
(25:31):
I will say this though, it's so true. He maybe
have been attracted to you because you were acting like
a guy a little bit and you were and you know,
maybe he felt like he had a lot more in common.
Maybe that's what formed the connection, the initial bond. So
you never know. Oh my god, I love the whole
marriage is based on a lie. It really is. What
(25:52):
happens when she finds out that that that Maureen is
not into sports and banging chicks, he'll probably he'll probaly
to be happy. I don't know. Yeah, he's like so
so Steve's like, so, have you ever slept with a woman,
And Mike's like, yes, I have, I slept with many women.
He's like, wow, this is Maureen Chicken. She's versatile, crazy crazy.
(26:16):
Let me let me tell you it was. It was
time consuming and the mental spaceboard man with these messages,
I just cannot believe that the average guy out there
was as brain did and animalistic and just so of course. Yeah,
but that's how most guys are. You know, we're wired
that way, right. But what's Maureen gonna say though, Like
(26:37):
when they're married for like a month and they're sitting
around like the TV's on the watch Netflix, So well,
when's Mike coming over? Yeah? Musically like coming over? It's
like Mike's my friend. Oh really because I met him
on a dating side, he's my friend now too. I wow,
you got you got something going on there. Yeah, but
you know, this is very telling though. There's so many
takeaways on this, you know, with with especial it really
(27:00):
are if you're a guy on a dating app. I
mean I feel like everybody can relate to that one.
So wait a minute, I just realized something. What's that
you're marrying? Technically you're marrying Steve indirectly, I guess. Yeah. Yeah,
So so Maureen met a guy that her friend Mike
met on a dating site, and Mike married that guy,
(27:22):
right that those statements? Yes, yes? And when is the wedding? Uh,
they haven't sort of yet. Just they just got engaged
like a month ago. I mean it's been it's been
like so so fast development. This happened in the summer
and they're already so we you know, I know that
you had mentioned off the air that you that marine
(27:43):
and Steve wanted to meet us. So maybe next week
or in a future podcast, we could have Maureen and
Steve on You know what, Why don't I have Steve
meet some friend of mine? Yeah, pretending to be me? Yeah,
totally totally tell you. Gonna have them go into the
serial Killers podcast and call it the Broken Boys. That's right.
(28:05):
So Mike are you are you? Are you ordained like
or you have to like fill out paperwork? No, I
gotta do all that ship online. I don't even know
where to start. Like, you know, I was excited when
they asked at first, and then I hung up. I
was like, do you feel I feel like you bite
off more than you can chew in life? I mean,
first of all, taking on the role of Maureen in
itself was a huge It's probably took up like a
(28:27):
full time job. You're like Mike Green again. But I
thought I was gonna get like once or two episodes
a day. I'd be at work. I'm pretty busy at work,
Like phone would be buzzing all day. It was probably
it was a crazy couple of weeks. Now, does your
wife ever say to you now, like when you get
into an argument that you say something that's like very
guy ish, like did you learn nothing about being a woman, Mike,
(28:48):
don't you know what you should be saying to me?
So conversely, guys maybe should maybe they should act like
women to pick up women on these apps, right, I'm
you could be throw the emojis around, yeah, because this
way a woman could relate to a woman and fall
in love with Yeah. No, think about the psyche on
that if if it happened from if Steve was attracted
(29:10):
to Mike for being slightly male leaning, maybe a woman
would feel like a softer or you know, not rough
around the edges kind of guy or more. You know
what I'm saying. You could maybe maybe, But I gotta
tell you what I found so insane too. Besides, like
the gym selfies, the bathroom selfis. I enough, they were
(29:31):
so many guys like would send these winky face emojis
and like it was just non stop. I couldn't believe
how like dainty they were being too. Again, I don't
know what you know what the dating site is nowadays?
I'm it Adama for a little bit, but I mean
it just they didn't seem up the speed with you know,
guy code. I don't know that there. Basically you got
(29:51):
all types on there. Oh my god? How many how
many dick picks did you get? Don't think any but
a lot of shirtless one, A lot of shirtless one.
Now if they were hot and shirtless, did you say
to your wife look at this guy. Can you believe
you said in this picture? What? Did you delete it
real fast and never tell your wife about the hot ones? Yeah? No,
(30:13):
I phoned him right to my wife. Pass it on
if you want, all right, all right now, Now Maureen
is a friend of your wife's. Right, you met how
through your wife? Correct? Correct? Uh? Could you have seen
yourself ever hooking up with Maureen if you hadn't met
your wife? Uh, that's a really good question. I don't
(30:33):
think I'll take that as a maybe, Mike, you know,
I'm gonna take it as a no way to put
the guy on the spot. The guys, you guys like
spending you know, trusting in us on this podcast, and
then you go in and asking fucking question the correct answer.
Scary asked me if I would be interested in my
wife's hot friend God and asked me, Brodie, would you
(30:55):
ever be interested in correct A, Mike, thanks for hanging
out with today. We're gonna roll out of here, but
we appreciate you. And maybe we'll maybe we will have
Steven Maureen on in the future show We'll see we'll
have Stephen make on and we'll have Mike pretend to
be more exactly take care everybody. Uh later, Well, that
(31:24):
was a that was a lot to I needed that
commercial break to recover from that. That Listen, Truthfully, I
had no idea you're putting that guy on the phone.
I know you didn't, but that's what I'm saying, Brody.
You gotta trust me and and and that's why we
just gotta hit the ground running. Like I mean, I
abruptly started the podcast. I apologize that you didn't have
time to get your headphones to stop your watching machine. Yeah,
but you know, sometimes we need to do those kinds
(31:46):
of things. I wanted to get to it. I wanted
to hit the ground running today. I really did, all right.
You know, you know, were on a fifteen minute morning
show today. What's today's day? My sister's birthday. Yeah, by
the way, we were talking about birthdays a few days ago,
and you're like, oh, shoot, I just remember it's my
sister's birthday. I don't know how you don't remember it's
your sister's birthday. Like you don't have alerts on your phone.
(32:08):
I don't. I don't have any siblings. But if I
can't imagine you getting like I have, I have a few.
There's a calendar that might have connected to Facebook at
some point back in the day. And on the right,
you didn't get her a gift as of two days ago. No,
I didn't. Yeah, I didn't. So I have I have.
I have a couple of questions. So anyways, I'll take it.
(32:28):
Tell us in a minute. This morning's podcast, we talked
to Scotty B from our Big Show, Yes we did,
was saying how he can't throw anything out. He saves everything. Right,
I'm sort of like that with some things, and so
a lot of times I hate to admit this. If
something breaks, but not like it doesn't work, like it's
not as good as it could be, or it's cracked.
I'll buy a replacement, but then I'll keep the cracked
(32:49):
thing as a backup, right, Like I'll keep it in
case the new one doesn't work, but I'm like, oh,
you know, it's still workable, so I'll keep it. So
I have a my wife and I bought washing a
washer and dryer set maybe fifteen years ago that's supposed
to last like ten years. But I got a service
contract with UM with PSC and G that, which is
(33:11):
the electrical company in our area. And so for like,
you know, ten dollars a month, I'm covered. They come
to no matter watting it, whatever it costs, they fix it.
So we've been keeping these things going for a long time.
And when we bought them, it was trendy to have
washers and dryers and colors. So these are like a
periwinkle blue. Because I have a slight obsession with blue,
I buy everything blue if I can. And so I'm
(33:32):
only buying a washing machine because the dryer is still
working pretty good. So but they don't make blue anymore,
so they're not gonna match. So I'm getting sentimental about
my blue washing machine, which is stupid. I understand that
it's completely stupid, but I'm gonna miss the matching blue,
So I just I feel but it's too big of
(33:54):
a thing to keep, Like if it was smaller I
would keep it like in the attic that what's your salutan?
Um My solution is I'm gonna have to get rid
of it. But um, I posted on Facebook in my
um My town Facebook page. I'm gonna paraphrase because I'm
not gonna pull the page up. But here's what happened.
I wanted to sell the washing machine because although it
(34:17):
has a couple of little errors in it, um, if
I sold it to a place that buys used appliances,
they could fix it, right, They could put in parts
for it and probably get a few hundred dollars for it.
Because new this same machine is like seven, right, maybe,
so if you could fix it, maybe you could sell
it at two fifty to somebody. There's a lot of
(34:38):
places that sell used appliances. So I posted, and I
was very specific, of which I always am. I said,
do you know for a fact, and I put factor capitals.
Do you know for a fact that of an appliance
place that buys used appliances, I have a washing machine
(34:58):
I would like to sell to a place that buys
used appliances. So that's pretty sounds specific, sounds clear, But
we already know the end result. We already know what's
gonna happen here. Yeah's you already know. I have no luck.
And people are like, why do you bother bones thing
on Facebook? You don't, you don't get any responses you're
happy with. So uh, one guy wrote, I'll come tomorrow
(35:22):
and buy them from you. I'll buy the washer. But
that's not you know, that's not the question you asked. Right,
you're not saying right, I know what's gonna happen here.
This is this is like the situation all over again. Okay,
So I said, excuse me, I haven't even told you
what the price is. I'm not selling the dryer and
I'm looking to sell it to a It's not working properly,
so I'm not looking to sell it privately. So that
(35:43):
a woman writes back, well, why don't you list what's
wrong with it so I know whether or not I
want to buy it. It's not for self exactly. Then
someone writes to me, um, there's a bunch of places
in Newark that sell used appliances. You could try there.
What new work? You're just gonna just haul it to
Newark and you're just gonna look around and you're gonna,
(36:06):
i mean, be specific. People right, So so I said,
so he says, I don't know which ones by yourself,
but I guess you could google it, And I said,
thanks for pointing out I could google it because between you,
me and you and me, scary. I did google it
different days. There's no place that I could find with
the correct search words. I love how people offer that
(36:27):
up as a solution. They take time out of their
day to write, you know you could google it, like like,
isn't that what led you to Facebook? To begin with
the fact that you did google it and you couldn't
find me your answer. I was kind of hoping for
firsthand information. That's why I wrote do you know for
a fact that a place because I don't want you
to tell me. So that somebody wrote, um uh yeah,
(36:49):
Google is not gonna be helpful. I go, I know
Google is not gonna be helpful. I want someone who
knows for a fact of a place that buys used appliances.
Good luck, right, So this one on like fifteen posts
with people saying the dumbest ship to me, like, well,
if I knew what was wrong with it, I might
beach did buying it. I don't want to sell to
you privately because there's things that are broken, and I
don't want to sell a broken washing machine to somebody.
(37:11):
Then I gotta hear how it's broken. You want money.
But so it's so I'm anyway, bottom lines, I'm not
getting a penny for it. I know it has value,
so that's bothering me. Also, so I'm just I'm just miserable.
You know, you're a miserable person. I mean in general, Hey,
that's not true. You are you are you are. You
know you try to be happy, but you gotta find
you know, I think you just need to flip the
script and find the silver lining and things. You know,
(37:33):
you'll be much happier. You'll you'll even have more You'll
have more patients, your blood pressure will go down. Not
that not that your doctor or anything. But you know,
I want to point out too at something that, yes,
what's hot? What it did bother me a little bit?
What's that? So? The Brooklyn Boys Slices has a Facebook
fan page right that you and I are not members of.
(37:54):
We are not members of. We don't look at it,
we don't know we it's like you guys talking behind
our back. But somebody sent me a screenshot of of
a young of a of a woman who has a
complaint about me. And right above it, by the way,
they'll be talking about this segment, And right above it
was a guy, a guy who complained about something else. Okay,
(38:16):
So I want to read the two complaints and I
want to address them. So this guy wrote anyone else triggered?
So last episode, you guys listen in order anyone else
triggered by Brodie's car rental rant, especially with the part
where he says a new camera could fit into my trunk.
Then he writes as if I'm reading this, which he
didn't know, I would be Brodie. The new camera is
almost a comparable size to the charger, not even close
(38:39):
to being as small as he said. Now he's talking
to me like I'm not the person reading it. Also,
charges are known for being somewhat cramped and not super roomy,
like he says, loved me some Brodyan scary, not not
a problem. But the car guy in me got so irked.
Now he wasn't upset. He put a smiley face. But
I want to address that. Okay, that's well, that's fine, polite,
that was polite. Yeah, Okay, I want to address that
(39:00):
to address that sir um comedy comes from exaggeration. I
don't really think a camera can fit in the chunk
of my car, So don't let that bother you. Um.
I was just pointing out I like a big car. Now.
I never said I like a big car because it's roomy.
I like a big car because it makes me feel
safe because it's a giant car. And I feel like
I'm not gonna like lose out to a smart car
(39:21):
if I hit it. So it isn't about leg room.
It's about I like a big car on the road
with a big engine. Okay, And I know the camera
is very nice. They redesigned. It's a beautiful car. Nothing
personal against the camera. I also I'm not a big
fan of Japanese cause I don't like the where they
lay out the steering column or the or the or
the radio situation or the nav. I don't like foreign cars.
(39:41):
I just don't like it, Okay, especially Japanese cause for me,
they're very nice. Cause it last a long time. So
I went and looked up Toyota camera is approximately a hundred.
I love that you did extensive research on this. Right,
A camera is approximately a D and a charger is
approximately two one inches, so that's a nine inch longer car. Okay,
(40:06):
the width of the car, the charger is up to
two inches wider. It's Brody, the lawyer has to be
right here. We go on a debate stage and it's
about two inches higher. You should have been a lawyer,
David Brody. No, I just want to address Will you are.
That's his name, Will Will. I'm not mad at you.
I just want to let you know. The camera is
a beautiful car, and that's where I would have stopped
(40:28):
right there, Like you know what comedy comes from exaggeration, No,
end the story you research it. Hold on, I want
to prove this guy wrong and his nose and his ship. No,
not at all, just what it sounds like. Nope, I'm
a car guy. Also, I wanted to see how big
the camera is now, all right, okay, because I I
like Okay, so I'm not going to mention her name.
(40:51):
So she wrote I hate that I stopped listening. No,
I hate that I stopped listening. I just can't take
Brodie always bitching to the point that it's not funny
and always demanding something for free from someone. Okay, So
so uh m Nicoll you M. I hope you hear this,
even though you claim you're not listening anymore. I'm not
(41:12):
mad at you. But the whole podcast and the book
that I'm working on is about me asking for free dessert. Right,
It's about my philosophy and life. Yeah, that you should
never be taking it seems to be. I don't know, Brody.
It may be a common theme on every single it
might be a thread on every single episode of this podcast. Okay, Well,
(41:35):
if that's the case, then that has helped us be
successful because you and I both have stick. Right, people
have listened, But to listen for a hundred and fifty
eight hundred and fifty episodes and go yeah, man, Brody
rants about stuff. He wants free stuff again, I don't
want free stuff as much as I want what I
feel I'm entitled to. Okay, right, but I look, I
would hope if you know who m is Tapper on
(41:58):
the shoulder now, the guy who sent me the screen shot.
I asked him to please email her will post and
I said, please let her know that I will that
it's unfortunate. I feel bad about it that she's not
enjoying the podcast currently. Um, and if there's anyone else
who feels that way. I apologize. That's the stick and
we're being real, right, that's this is what my wife
(42:19):
deals with. So that's just who are carry said, let's
do a podcast. Let's just talk about our lives. So
that's what we do. So I'm not I'm not bitching
like like, oh, I'm gonna let's scare I'm gonna make
up something a bit. That's my life. I'm trying to
make the bitching. And we have all kinds of if
you listen to these episodes, we have a million different
things that we talked about and until for an hour.
(42:41):
But it wasn't like but we don't always. We don't
always bitch. I will say though, during quarantine, I've noticed
to her point in the last in the last thirty weeks,
there hasn't been a whole lot going on. There has
not been a lot going on outside. We haven't been
going we've been going stir crazy in our houses. There
maybe may or may not be a little bit more
(43:01):
to bitch about. So we maybe do you know, Brodie,
let's make let's make a deal that on the next
episode of The Brooklyn Boys, hold on, let's see if
we could do this. We don't do anything that has
to do with any bitching. Just but she won't hear it. Well,
we'll get back to her at some point, but let's try.
Let's try. Listen, we do everything, we cover so much ground,
(43:22):
and we just took a phone call. I mean, we
do you know, believable. It was an unbelievable call. Occasionally
we do that. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, so we have
our moments and and so it will be you know,
this too shall pass there, m M, whoever you are. Yeah, Um,
I want to talk about a scamboni, but I want
to preface it by saying that when I went to college,
(43:44):
my goal originally was to be a lawyer. I just
I love the law. I love watching legal dramas. I
love debating, you know that, I love finding out it.
You know, I'm just reiterating. So this scamboni particularly bothers
me about something. So I had, as I mentioned in
(44:15):
my Giant Dodge Charger on January January three. Okay, at
a car accident I got I got sideswiped by uninsured,
unlicensed driver. Thankfully the insured was in the car. Okay,
that was January three. On January five, I received three
(44:39):
letters from lawyers, all basically saying the same thing. It
has come to our attention you've been involved in a
motor vehicle accident. We learned this information from the Blah
Blah Blah Township Police Department accident report and have attached
a copy of same for your records. Now, first of all,
this is the fifth, that means the day of the accident.
(45:02):
Somehow they got the information of my accident right and
attached a copy of my police report fast enough to
get it to me by the five, which means the
mail takes let's say a day minimum. They got the
police I had the accident at three thirty four o'clock
on the third, which means it probably didn't get processed
(45:25):
maybe until five o'clock maybe me and I don't think
the officer went running back to the precinct to go
and process my paperwork, unless he was looking for overtime
where he was working the night shift. Somehow they had
enough time to get the copy of the I'm looking at.
It's the police report right with my with my VIN
and my address, my name everything on here right in
(45:48):
enough time on that um Sunday. I had the accident
on a Sunday, scary on a Sunday on Tuesday. I
mean a letter went out out dated the fifth. It
took him two days. I got it on the sixth.
So in a span of a couple of days, this
guy got the police report and sent it to me
and wanted to represent me, and so did the other
(46:10):
two lawyers. Very aggressive. This happens a lot. I hope
you aren't seriously injured. However, if you were injured through
no fall of your own, we will assist you in
getting your medical bills paye. Okay. By the way, I
had a similar situation and the lawyers just somehow, they
just find you and they run to you, and they
all want to represent this company. Um. By the way,
(46:33):
the it's a funny name. I just uh, I don't
want to read no, no, over eight hundred million dollars recovered. Yeah,
how could they eight hundred million? Okay? So it's got
testimonials and the point is uh. And then it says
um our client was in a in a vehicle, was
(46:55):
rear ended while traveling on the Garden State Parkway. She
received emergency room treatment, she got two where's the scamboni? Though?
Do we know these stories to not be true. I'll
tell you what the scamboni is. The scamboni is when
I spoke to the police officer, he said it takes
up to five days for me to get my police report. Okay,
So I called on Tuesday and they said it wasn't
(47:17):
ready yet. I called on Wednesday, they said it wasn't
ready yet. I called on Thursday. Thursday episode you suspect
everybody's in on it, and then just waiting for the
lawyers to get back to you, saying how do these
three law firms get my police report on a Sunday
or a Monday. When I'm told it's not ready until Thursday.
(47:38):
My guess is they may off the record. They may
be getting some kickbacks, and they're like saying, look here,
we're gonna sell your your information to these law firms
and say have at it, guys or something. I don't
know if there's some back end where lawyers have access
to that stuff. Well that well that honestly, you know,
I'm not saying that my previous statement was a joke.
(47:58):
I do think that they are on it. They have
some access to some public file that you don't know about,
that they get it instantaneously, so they're on the case. Okay, Well,
guess what if they have access to it? Why the
funk I don't want to have access to it? Why
am I not allowed access to my police support report
to my insurance company? But this guy blah blah blah
(48:19):
blah blah blah blah blah can get it before I can.
They can different law firms because they were in the industry.
It's the same thing with house listings Brodie. The general
public and doesn't get it. And that's wrong. That Street
Street Easy and Zillo and all this other stuff. You
think you're gonna get it first, No way, all the
good ship is snapped up by these real estate agents
that are in the wait. I had to wait four
(48:41):
days before I get my car repaired, waiting for this
police support that blah blah blah blah blah blah. But
why is it? Okay? But how does it? How does
this ruin or change the course of your actions of
your day? You weren't going to use any of them,
hold on, It ruined my day because I wanted the
police report on the Monday, so I could have got
my car fixed sooner. That's first of all, Okay, second
of all, I feel violated. I feel violated that these
(49:04):
ambulance chasers. There's nothing you're going to be able to
do about it, Brodie, there's nothing. It's out there, it's
in the public, it's in the ether. No, it was
ether them or me, and they got it. Yeah, that's
that's a scamble. There's something going on there. I want
information that change. Like it's mail time. Welcome, you've got mail.
(49:31):
Please email us at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail
dot com. Anything that you hear on this podcast. We'd
love to read some of your email. We do that
sometimes if we take it old school. Uh, Jamie Saul
wrote to us. We she's she's a slice. I know her.
She's she's all over. I love her. A name for
the f you list. Boys Ready for this, Brodie? Yeah,
(49:54):
you're with me, Yeah, I'm with you. Her dad is recovering.
My dad is recovering from a stroke. He's in a wheelchair.
So his doctors and the therapists come to the house.
His occupational therapist recommended up dietrist who works with the
agency and makes house calls. I'll call him doctor Foote Douche.
You'll see why in a minute. Well, doctor foot Douche
(50:14):
showed up once. Once he did the usual podietrist stuff.
That was last summer. We've been trying to get him
back for a second visit since then. He said he'd
come for an appointment a few months ago, but never
showed up. Since then, he hasn't answered any calls. He
hasn't returned any calls. The agency has reached out to him.
He told them he'd call back, but he hasn't. I
(50:37):
looked for him on Google and found a review from
someone saying he did the same thing to them, So
fuck you foot Dr foote Douche. That's great, Hey, listen,
it happens. Here's that email I referenced earlier from Katherine
Watson saying, Hey Brooklyn boys Um, I wanted to comment
on the episode I just finished number one oh seven.
(51:00):
Just a recap on this episode, you talked about the
difference in areas of Florida Scary wanted to stay in
versus where Brody wanted to stay. But that's not why
I'm e melling. I wanted to comment on what Scary
said about how awesome it would be to work from home.
I simply found this hilarious and figured that you'd get
a kick out of it hashtag slice for life and
(51:21):
which he's referring to again, is that Brody on that
episode said he would never work from home? And here
we are, Here we are ten months later. I had
to buy a microphone. Uh. Then I had to have
Elvis buy me in better. Are you poor baby? Investing
in your craft? Yeah, investing in my craft. Listen, it's
money I didn't have to spend. So it's been a
it's been a hassle to sit in my cold basement
(51:42):
where my washing machine your money on craft k R
A f T. I'm wondering if I can expense the
washing machine since I've incorporated into the podcast, I think
now it is. I think it isn't the Elvis ranch.
It's a sound effect. We don't Yeah, we don't have
a department that would would pay mikes fences. We should
start a department. We need an accountant account we'll be
(52:04):
taking our money from it first and formost. We need
a salesperson. Come on, let's sell us. Let's keep going.
I'm hung Well that's that's a whole other thing. So
and also, okay, so we've got a few more, but
you have some other tweets or some things that you
may want to read. Yeah, so uh so ms Trish
eighty three, big fan of ours. She put up a
a picture of herself wearing the blue hoodie on an
(52:25):
instant story. I re reinstant storied it, re re grabbed it,
so to speak, and then she wrote that's Brooklyn Boys
dot Big Cartel dot com. She took my line the Vet's,
which reminded me. Um, I just want to remind everyone, Uh,
there's there's still some merchandise available. Um, and we're not
(52:45):
we're not yet ready to replenish with new designs and
stuff because we feel like we want you to check
out what's there now. There's still some property of some
things are selling. This may not have the size you want.
So if you're if you're thinking about it, just being
on to go to uh scare what's website again, Brooklyn
Boys dot Big Cartel dot com. Uh, that's Brooklyn Boys
(53:07):
dot Big Hortel dot com. Uh. I Also, let's see
Alfredo had wanted me to do some advice. I'm not
gonna tell you that one. Shout out to Heather Murphy.
By the way, she, along with so many others, she's
from New Hampshire and she's just sliced for life. Um,
she's uh good, she's balls. She's an accountant whose balls
deep in tax season. That's but she she alone with
(53:29):
so many other people pointed out that Brodie's face is
covered on the Apple podcast Not only the Apple Podcasts app,
but the Spotify app now covers Brodie's face with their
own logo when they're displaying our Brooklyn Boys logo, and
everybody's saying that It's like when Mike Wazowski from Monster
(53:51):
Zinc had his face covered on the cover of the
magazine and they were afraid to show it to him,
and when he saw his face was covered, he went,
I'm on the cover. He didn't care that his face
was covered. I do not care that my face is covered.
I'm fine with it. But but our Heart radio doesn't
do that. So that's why I recommend you listen on
Heart Radio so you can see my face if you
if you choose to. Uh. Nicolas cast Off sent me
(54:13):
this just this morning. He follows an account on Instagram
no on Facebook called rough Country and it's uh. They
put up pictures of SUVs and RVs and just off
road and trucks and country sounds like a porno hello
hello uh. He wrote, what a shame? I like rough country,
and it would have it would have been cool if
(54:34):
they were a part of that project. And the reason
he sent that is what they wrote was we loved
being a part one word of this project from four
Wheeler magazine. So props to Nicholas who noticed that apart
is the exact opposite of a part. He sent me
that little grammar police there. Um. Bailey just sent this
to me during the podcast Bailey eleven underscore. Oh six,
(54:58):
Hey Brody, if you have time, I have a bit
of an issue. I'm currently at the airport. My first
flight was delayed. Scare You're a major flyer, so I
want your opinion on this. My first flight was delayed
for weather reasons and I only had seven minutes to
get my connecting flight once we landed, I did not
make it. Now I have to wait two hours for
my connecting flight. Is this grounds to ask for compensation?
Or should I just let it go? Slice for life?
(55:19):
Was it? Was it weather related or mechanical? So? Is
it weather related related? So they missed it? Connecting flights
to connecting flight? I already wrote them back. I want
your opinion first, and she's got to sit at the
airport for how long now or she's gonna come back
to Uh. That's a rough one because I don't think
(55:42):
that the airline. I know that I know what the
answer from the airline is gonna be. So I mean,
I would think, what would you want? What would I want?
I would think they owe you something because I I
would like a free set upgrade on that second flight
to make my my life much more comfortable. I'd like
to sit in business class and get a meal. That's
what I would like. Um. But I think that they're
(56:03):
going to claim that they owe them nothing because it's
in there, you know, it's in their rules and regulation
and the fact that there's another flight leaving the same
day in a couple of hours. They don't consider two
and a half hours as much of a delay. You
missed the wedding or something, you know, something important, Well,
then you may have grounds for which, by the way,
you will invent if in your excuse, So what you
(56:25):
talk to them at the counter, as you know, you
will say that there was unless our former listener Am
gets upset about that be wanting something for free. So
what I wrote back was most times they will offer
you a courtesy credit for your next flight. You could
ask them for a seat upgrade if you want, which
is what you said. Tell them it costs you money,
it costs you time, and you had to buy airport
(56:46):
food while you waited weather. It can't be helped out.
But maybe they'll be nice. So we we basically agreed.
You could ask. It doesn't hurt to ask, it doesn't.
But I don't think that you're in this case of
free dessert. I think that you will be. It's an
uphill battle and you're not really in the right. You're
kind of maybe like thirty in the right, and you
just have to push yourself over the finish line and
(57:08):
just making the ask as a hell Mary, I don't
know if you'll get it. I don't know if you
deserve it. I mean we yeah, we all deserve it, right,
we conserve it. But you could ask. I would I
it's worth it's worth a shot, but it's not worth
an argument, and I'll let me speak to the supervisor Karen.
Kind of moment right now. We mentioned a lot of
companies on this podcast because we don't have a lot
of sponsors, so it's free to say whatever we want,
(57:30):
whatever we want. Alfredo Mercado d mned me. He said, Hi,
I'm Alfredo, all kay, I work for UPS. I'm z
D nothing bad here and I'm on the road all
day and love just love the show. I listened to
all the shows, all the podcasts, the old ones and
this one, and I'm up to uh oh, listen to
all the on demand channel els right on demand channel nice.
(57:51):
I'm up to episode forty three of the Brooklyn Boys,
but episode twenty one with the FedEx story is my favorite.
Always because he works for UPS. I always us hit
a car because of how funny it was. Keep it up, guys,
love the show UPS. Alfredo. Now he's gonna hear this
about a year from now when he finally catches him. Now,
Jamie Saul wrote again, Mas she's she's all over it,
(58:13):
but she's got another one. She wanted to talk to
us about an old scamboni Um went to a hookah bar.
Like many places, they had half price at certain times,
from like four to eight, half price drinks. We get
there at six. While we were there, we ordered a
couple of drinks, some food and hookah All of our
drinks were ordered during the half price drinks time frame.
(58:33):
When we got the bill, we realized they charge just
full price for the drinks. Uh, you'll have you have
a case here. They didn't get the hook Yeah, hello,
is this thing working even though we ordered the drinks
that were on the half price list during the time frame.
When we asked the waitress, she said, we were charged
full price because the bartender used top shelf liquor. Now
(58:56):
top shelf liquor isn't included in the half rice list,
but did they ask for it. Neither of us asked
for top shelf You ordered just general whiskey, sours and
rum and cokes, but they used it so they could
charge us more Scamboni plot twist. The place was later
accused of using legal tobacco in the hookahs and they
suddenly closed down. Well, you know what, karma is a bitch.
(59:19):
That is what I have to say to you, Jamie
in that case. But while you were there, I would
have raised hell because there's several red flags here. Yeah
I'm not paying that bill. No, because you ordered it
in the right time frame and you just said rum
and coke and you know you said gin and tonic.
You didn't say give me a henessy and tonic, right?
Fuck you hookah bar? Yeah, fuck you hookah bar. This
(59:41):
is a text message we got to the big show
today that I just I feel like, oh, maybe it's yesterday.
I feel like it's fallacious, uh sealacious or fallacious fallacious
thinking fallacy fallacious not fallacio is um although if you
if you're fallacious thinking, it looked me up, all right. So, uh,
Nate on our show has been complaining that people are
(01:00:03):
throwing stuff into the dumpster in front of his house.
They're doing construction and he's got one of those like
forty ft long dumpsters in his house and it's on
you know, there's no there's no lid. It's a forty
ft dumpster. How could you possibly manually lift the lid
if it was a forty ft long whatever it is,
I don't tweet me to it's thirty feet or whatever
it is. It's the big lung dumpsters, all right. So
this person's idea was put a hazardous waste only sign
(01:00:24):
on the dumpster so people will know that it's only
for hazard his waste. Now do you know why this
is a moronic idea, because people are gonna dump their
hazards waste in there, that's right, that's right. People like
first of all, they're gonna show up with they're fucking
with their what do you call suits? They yeah, thats right.
(01:00:47):
So first of all, if you're dumping in someone else's dumpster,
you don't give a ship what the sign says. Also,
is that supposed to keep you away from it? Or
you just throw it from like five ft away? Then
you'll fling your bags into it. I don't know what
the purpose that is. Are you supposed to go all
my stuff so hazardous I can't throw it in there.
You're gonna throw it in there anyway. But but but
you're encouraging people. Now look who has hazard of stuff?
(01:01:09):
The point is it doesn't make any that's not gonna work, right,
That's like that's like saying when you put up a
sign that's just parking for Jim only, like like James
parking with James only, Like fuck James, I'm parking there, exactly.
It doesn't work. It never does. Also another question, scary
you know, I mean I had you know, my great
uncle Joe got rest his soul. He had a sign
of part this spot, this area for parking for Italians only,
(01:01:33):
that he got at the San Gennaro feast. He threw
the golf ball, you know, he threw the ping pong
ball into the goldfish ball, and he chose that instead
of the goldfish. So so he literally had it up
for years. And I'm like, Uncle Joe, you live in
Italian neighborhood. First of all, everyone's Italian. This area for
Italians only, you know. I I gotta be honest. Though
(01:01:54):
I grew up in an Italian neighborhood, you and I
grew up in the same neighborhood. I was one of
the few non Italians. If I saw signed that said
only parking if you're Italian, I wouldn't park down. Oh
oh yeah, it could be. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not
getting my card destroyed, my head bashed in no offense.
But there were some tough people in my cars up
on cinder blocks right right? Uh uh? What do I
(01:02:16):
want to say? Oh damn it. We were talking about
before you mentioned the uh no parking sign? I was.
We were reading three email I got one more. This
one's an audio one, and I don't I haven't Okay,
So Brianna Calucci wrote to us about the rec's PCs debate. Um,
by the way, we know it's Reese's pieces where Greece
(01:02:37):
was a person apostrophees and and they were his pieces,
Reese's pieces, that is the proper pronunciation. Yes, so she writes,
scrolling through TikTok and found this video that I think, oh,
you guys would like before I get to that. By
the way, who's calling? It's not no, it's it's unavailable.
(01:02:59):
It's actually block number. Should just answer it live beause
I was gonna I was gonna use the your car.
You're gonna warrant you in your car? Hello? Brooklyn Boys podcast? Hello? Hello?
What are you doing? Hello? Who's this scary for me?
(01:03:25):
Do you? What are you doing? I'm doing the Brooken
Boys podcast. Who's making lying piece of ship? Who's hang
up now? Uh? Dude? Could you hang up right now?
I don't want to I don't want to do on
your podcast right now? For real. I have a real question. Asked, well, well,
I'm college Greig Jersey Kids. Did you text him? No?
He did not text me. What what do you just
called my phone? Hi? T No, I'm what's up? Nat time? No, Hey,
(01:03:50):
what's I really have a I have an honest question
asked you look as the radio, not like an idiot
kind of thing. Not a problem. Okay, So I will
call you back when I'm done with the Brooklyn Boys
and about a little while. All right? Is that cool? No,
because I'm in a meeting right now for the uncle
Ted shed podcast. I'm gone right now, your son of
a bitch, hold up on him up? No, no, no,
(01:04:13):
so much. What's the question you call? Your calling to
plug your own pod? No, he's not, he's I had
I had no idea, God, I had no idea with him.
Shot for a real question or real question. What's your question? Alright?
I mean you can hear to my tone, I'm not
even doing the great thing. Okay, okay, what's the question? Okay?
(01:04:36):
So I'm in a meeting right now with my uncle
Ted and when you came on, score to God, and
we're going over numbers. We were literally are having a
meeting about podcasting in general. Understood, Okay, So how many?
How many listeners? Do you have a lot a lot,
(01:04:56):
so so much to listen if you just me, just honestly,
just give me a couple of minutes I swear I
will call you back before your meetings over. Okay, we're
not discussing this. No, I need to meeting. How do
you make? How much do you make? T how salad day?
All right? I just honestly, honestly, you know, we show
(01:05:17):
up in I Heart Radio's top one podcasts to promote that.
I'm not being real right now. No, no, I know,
I understand. I understand you. I understand you're being real.
Bro am you real? Sure you can edit this out?
How many reals do you have per week? Okay, before
before you answer that, how many do you think we have?
(01:05:40):
I don't know. I'm gonna okay, I know you guys
been for a long time. You've a lot of that
because because because behind it. If you said podcast, what
you said, this podcast will go nowhere? Those are your
exact words. So yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, I
don't think it's the I don't think it's a great one.
But whatever, scumbag Okay, okay, sizz legit? How any doubt?
(01:06:00):
How manna do? How gonna do you think we do?
We get downloads a week, dude, we got in the
first ten minutes we posted. Legit? Legit? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,
that's it. Okay, I hung up on him. You have to.
He's he you know what. I feel like he knew
(01:06:21):
we were recording. Now I feel like you told him, Well,
he does know we do Wednesday night. So I think
this is his way of like kind of getting in there, like, Okay,
now you're helping him. Oh it doesn't matter. Come on,
um Anyway, before he really interrupted, I was about to
play the audio from this rec's PCs debate. This might
be something, this might not but she but Brianna thought
(01:06:43):
that this would be um funny because she found it
on TikTok. So here it is. I don't know what
we're gonna get. I like how white people always think
they know something. It's rec's PCs. Bitch, all right, listen,
bro get animated and political. And he did. Hereto. That's
not what I'm about. But you've you've started something You've
(01:07:04):
big to fight about. Small pieces of chocolate wreck candy
would arguably the fattest dude on this app, so I
feel uniquely qualified to talk about the situation. They are
pieces that belong to a motherfucker named Greece. Yeah, they
are Reese's pieces. He got right, up to the camera.
(01:07:29):
On that one, all you saw is his eyes, nose,
and mouth. Okay, here's the thing. If this was something
like you were debating about whether Roosevelt pronounced his name
Roosevelt Roosevelt, you would have to go back to all
archive footage to hear them saying their own name. A
perfect example is the names of bridges. When the people
(01:07:50):
do the traffic in your local area are here, we
have the Gothels bridge? Is it? And then you gotta go.
You gotta research, But you gotta research with the name, right.
But the Goths thing is a pronunciation thing. By the
point where Roosevelt it's pronunciation, My point was, it's old. Okay,
it's all timing, and it's hard to find Reese's pieces.
(01:08:10):
You can look at the label. It actually says Reese apostrophees. Yes, right,
it doesn't. It's not spelled Reese's. It's Reese apostrophees. And
then the word pieces, a common everyday word like pieces
of ship. It's pieces. If you look at pieces and
and say pieces, you're five year old now if you
say it, because that's the way you were raised and
(01:08:31):
you grew up in a in a town that that
that's what they say. And that you do you think
it's cute depends on with that. I'm fine with that. Right.
It looks philly because look, people in New York say
things wrong all the time. But I'll acknowledge we say
it wrong, right, we may, but we don't. You can't
just get on TikTok and and say and like claim
and plant you your flag on the moon and be
(01:08:53):
like this is how it's pronounced. And this is the
b all end all last word. Because you're going on
the moon, you're gonn get the moons square. You're gonna
can see that's're gonna get crushed you anyway. All right,
So all right, can we take a break wherever we sat?
And then I have a and then I have not
I have another scamboni, another one, another one that involves women.
Women who shower. You'll want to hear this, and scary.
(01:09:19):
I feel like every woman showers. From the you said
women who shower, some bathe There were also women who bathed,
by the way, I don't know anybody who takes baths.
I mean, occasionally you'll see a romantic bath or someone
wants to just sexy women take baths, or they or
they want to put the lights out, put some rows
around it, you know, takes bats. Sexy women on TV
shows they lift their legs through SuDS and they wipe
(01:09:43):
their leg with the suddy, suddsy water. I would say
the majority of our listeners just because the time constraints. Yeah,
take showers with the occasional bath maybe once or twice.
So women in horror films take baths always, except Psycho
Wish took a shower. Okay, So before I get that,
I was reminded something you and I talked about yesterday.
When we do the podcast on Wednesday night, our company
(01:10:06):
I Heart Media, through the app I Heart Radio, sends
out an alert that tells you, hey, there's a new episode.
And then he usually comes through on Thursday afternoons. And
when that happens, we see our episode. Listenership goes through
the roof. It's a it's a push notification on your phone. Right, Hey,
here's a podcast. Check it out, your favorite episode of
(01:10:28):
your favorite podcasts a new episode. Pause for a second.
And while you're here. If if you're not getting those
and you subscribe, please hit the subscribe button. You must
please hit the subscribe button to our podcast. Or the
download this way, this way, you like and subscribe, like
and subscribe, and yes and download. Do all of that,
but because you will be then added to the push
notification list from when there is a new episode out.
(01:10:50):
But Brodie, continue your story. So for some reason, our
company uh for episode which was two weeks ago, didn't
send out the push notification that week. Episode has about
a quarter of the listenership of the episode before and
after it, which means slices. You may have inadvertently skipped
(01:11:12):
an episode, or people that are new to the podcast
may have skipped an episode, or you may have joined
us and you are a new listener. At nine we
recommend a lovely episode, so check out one eight. If
you haven't heard it, please we recommend you listen in order,
but if you've listened out of order, we're giving you
permission to go back and listen out of order to
correct your out of orderness. Does that make sense? You
(01:11:33):
know we're gonna do. We're gonna start issuing old episodes
that that get like no traction as our bonus episode,
but less less traction, like if something had let's say,
episode was like like less than the rest. Something's wrong. Yeah,
So you'm gonna do. I'm gonnas that you can't say, well,
maybe it's not as good an episode, because you wouldn't
(01:11:54):
know that unless you listen to it. Unless three thirds
of three thirds three four the episode one nine crowd
told their friends, hey, or the one seven people, we
know who you are, Hey, we heard one fifty eight.
Don't listen to one eight if you guys are sabotaging
or one eight, don't do that. It's good episode. I'm
telling you what I heard it, I lived it. It's quality,
(01:12:15):
all right. Now, ladies, you've you've seen um. They call
him facial massagers and they sell them at you know,
in the back corner aisle of Walgreens of CVS, and
they have him at shopper Image, the penis shaped facial massagers. Right,
they called facial massagers, but they're actually like you know,
(01:12:36):
they vibrators. They're vibrators there, g spot bumper. They have
a whole line to them. So I saw a commercial
for the first time for Flawless Clean spa spinning spa brush.
Now it's a handheld thing with a couple of buttons
and it's only plus ship and handling money back guaranteed,
(01:13:01):
not a sponsor. If they'd like to be a sponsor,
that'd be fine. And it shows women of alves, all colors,
shapes and sizes, showering and using this thing on their back,
on their um. They're they're they're above the boob area,
like neck, calabone area, all the things that can show
into their legs all there. And it's spinning. It's a
(01:13:23):
spinning like round brush head. And it looks like it's
a little too coarse, because initially I was like, this
looks like it could be you know, And they're showing
women like reach for an essential way, like ladies, you
when you're time to shower, you know, And then they
show it and it has like six different attachable heads.
All right, this thing is clearly a vibrator in disgus,
(01:13:46):
I'm gonna send you. I'm gonna send you right now
because by the way, it's too also too convenient that
you're in your shower and your massaging parts of your
body and then it's like a second, I just I
can just it's supposed to clean you in a scrubby way.
I'm sending you the picture right now, let me know,
we know. Nope, women are getting off in the shower
with this thing. But here's the thing. All the women
and all the women in the commercial for this it
(01:14:08):
takes off dead skin. It exfoliates. Did you get the picture?
Of course, I'm looking at it. Yes, okay, I'm actually
getting turned on the face in the picture. What describe
the woman's face and the angle of her head. He's
got her face on. She's like, oh, not part of them.
And she's by the way, she's all sudged up. She's
(01:14:30):
got like the body. What part of the body is
she exfoliating in the picture. It's the top of the
top of her shoulder, right, yeah, right, I know that
the top of the shoulder can be sensual if you
you know, you caress it, you rub it, right, she's
making it is. And it's a fun one though, advertising
(01:14:56):
on major television station, this facial scrubber. It's no listen,
this whole exfoliating dead skin thing. Come on. I saw
an interview. I saw an interview I had I had
multiple exfoliations, if you know what. So I saw an
interview with one of these casino moguls from Vegas once
(01:15:17):
and they were talking candidly. I think that actually might
have been like with roll to Rolling Stone. It might
have been a print article. Whatever it was. This guy
was talking about how it was very important that in
his hotel casinos he wanted to make it very attractive
for women, and so to appeal to women, he had
to make sure that every hotel room was outfitted with
(01:15:37):
a removable fawcet in the shower, you know, the ones
that are on the hose, because I like, I mean, look,
I'm a guy, and I just like the whole I
like that fucking spigott coming from the top, Give me
that rain shower from the top, and and just like
pour it on me heavy with high water pressure. But
apparently he went into detail about no, no, no, you
(01:15:59):
must install on the side of the shower where the
you know, the controls are that extra piece that when
you could switch between the overhead and then this removable massages.
So he said at first, oh, so guys and whoever
else could wash their undercarriage, But he was he was
alluding to the fact that women were like using it
to turn themselves on in the shower because it was removable,
(01:16:21):
and that's what you can do with that, you know.
So I'm like, interesting, I never thought of that. Here
I am with my commercially. Here, hold on extraordinary. Okay,
well listen to this woman. Okay, here we go. Go
in your ordinary shower routine into an extraordinary body rejuvenating
(01:16:42):
spat experience with the all new flawless Clint SPA, the
Revolutionary Way to Clint. They all have the face and
your skin with one tool in the comfort of Europe
the Spas. Yeah, ta, yeah, I bet you do ANDSA.
(01:17:04):
She's I never makes it easy. I never leave my shower. Yeah.
Handle was a game changer for me handling shoulders or
the middle of my back, or even at the bottom
of my feet. Yeah. Yeah, you skip over your midsection. Yeah,
full body head to wait, how many revolving heads? Three
(01:17:25):
on this commercial for a gentle soothing full body wash
us the cleansings a tired muscle? Yeah, I got a muscle,
knees rejuvenating. Who are you kidding? That's great, that's awesome. Yeah,
why don't you just call it? By the way, there's
another forty six seconds left in that commercial. Oh, forget it,
(01:17:47):
it's a minute. No, it's I'm sorry, there's not a
