(00:47):
is on Sunday and we're excited about it on Friday.
That's what's happening. Hey, hey, we're going to a barbecue
on Sunday with six episodes away that I think the
meat is on the grill and you're starting to smell
it the roma that's best. Maybe maybe, Yeah, I'm just
some saying what I need. Four Like Walkers and Talkers
were two or two now like we blew past two.
D Yeah, you guys got past us somehow. And when

(01:10):
we're we're we're I just got an email from our
boy Matt are Matt at Brooklyn Boys, that Big Cartel
dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys, that Big Cartel dot Com.
Our merchant store. Yeah, I feel like we're role playing
and we're switching roles. Were you're doing the vats now
I'm not. I don't know. I feel uncomfortable with this.
Well anyway, so, uh, we have sold an exorbitant number
of Walkers and Talkers shirts. So I'm very excited. Thank

(01:32):
you everyone, good, thank you. I appreciated the fact that
you're actually coming to the website. Yeah, and then you're
you're checking out. Maybe you're checking out some Brooklyn Boys
merch that you didn't pick up the first time around.
That's right, Well, there'll be more in the brook and
Boys Merch store soon enough. Right now. By the way,
everyone thinks I was exaggerating, I told you I was

(01:52):
not exaggerating when I posted that picture of the flower
arrangements from the funeral. If you were listening to one,
you know what I'm talking about. If you're not, don't
know what you're talking about. After this episode, listen to
go back to zero. But I told you about the
funeral and that I went to and the guy the

(02:12):
funeral flower flower rangement. The flower rangements were a gun,
a cigar, a golf course, and a middle finger. I
got fist giving the middle finger, all in flowers, I said,
four ft tall. But so many people when I posted
the pictures at the Brooklyn Boys all over our social media, Twitter,
Instagram and Facebook, give you the trifect on that one,

(02:34):
they were telling all the comments were like, wow, I
didn't I envisioned them to be big. But I thought
you guys were like, you know, going overboard with your descriptions. No, man,
that's that big, big tall ship. Yeah, just unbelievable. Seeing
it again, I laughed again. I have to say, I

(02:56):
gotta look at that our social media at the Brooken Boys,
and and you'll see the visual to the audience, think
the video the visual companion um. But robin on Margolis huge.
She's hilarious because she picks out everything she is wrong. Well,

(03:17):
according to her, she said that the ring okay, so
it was a fist giving a middle finger, and the
middle finger was facing us, and it was again it
was all made of flowers. But it's a right hand
and the wedding rings should be on the left hand.
That's right. So the ring finger has the ring on
on the finger, and she's like, well, wait a second,

(03:39):
it's at the finger. The ring goes on the left hand. Well,
people wear rings on their right hand. It doesn't have
a wedding ring. But this, well, okay, it's not a
wedding ring. It's just a ring on the finger. Maybe
the guy was known, you know, like you know, kiss
the ring some some people, some Italians like the water ring.
I'm lifting my middle finger now to see if it
matches in a second. Mm, actually, no, you're right. It

(04:03):
is a right hand so it rings on their right hand.
It doesn't say this is my wedding ring. Okay, but
I assumed it was the wedding ring. Now okay, it's
move on, all right, whatever anyway, whatever, Thank you, Robin.
I love when people are so attention to detail, like
really close. Yeah, all right, well anyway, thank you for

(04:24):
writing it. A lot of people um responded to that picture.
So we're gonna need to post some more. We have
to post more. Ship you know, I I have, you
know what I have I'm gonna post. So this is
uh Wednesday, as we're recording this, I'll put you by
the time you hear this, I should have it posted up.
There was a review of I'm gonna send you the picture.
I gotta send you the review that I send you
the picture of the cables on Amazon. No I didn't.

(04:48):
I'm gonna send it to you now. One commentary from
the from the Twitter which you'll fund you'll like peanuts.
Poppy responded to the picture of that and said, hey,
how do you order that from the florist? Can I
get the Flatbush package with the sheep said day upgrade? Yeah, yeah,
you know, you know, you don't you know it's very Brooklyn.

(05:10):
It's really very very That was a very brooken reference
right there. Hey, so I did a podcast guest appearance. Wait,
let me know when you get to picture what we'll
talk about in a minute. I did a guest appearance
on a podcast for our friend Tom Kelly. Tom Kelly
works for the comedy company, the comedy division of our
radio company, Right Premiere Comedy, and he works in one

(05:33):
division and I work at another, and I I sort
of helped him get the job. And he's a stand
up comic and he has been the warm up comic
for the View and Good Morning America and Late Show
with Stephen Colbert. If you've never been to a taping
of a show, a warm up comic is the guy
who entertains the crowd, usually like the twenty minutes before
the actual filming starts, tells you when to laugh, when

(05:55):
to clap, gets you in a good mood. Right. Funny guy. Tom,
he's a good guy. He's the war He has people
up guys. So he has um a website. He's on
social media at at Tom Kelly, k yellow Y at
Tom Kelly Show like that plug. I know he will
and I think the website is Tom Kelly Show dot com.

(06:15):
You should be able to find I And I tweeted
it today on on October twenty from at David Brody
and it was supposed to be he begged you know,
you didn't beg me. And he's like, oh, could you
please find time for a twenty minute podcast? All he
needs twenty minutes? Twenty minutes? And I said, sure, yeah,
I'll find twenty minutes. It took a couple of weeks
we found time for it. And he likes to eat.
He normally does podcast without a guest. He talks about

(06:37):
whatever he wants to talk about, which is very difficult,
by the way. Yeah, just do your own podcast by
yourself and not anyone's crime drama or anything. It's h
And so he said, you know, I'd like to interview
people that I feel influential in my career. And then
I look up to and I'm not tunting my own horn.
But that's why he wanted me, he says that on
the podcast, And so I had to find twenty minutes

(06:58):
to do a podcast with him. Now, I don't know
if you're a member. Oh, we talked about it on
this podcast. I want to say about thirty episodes ago
that I was asked to do fifteen minutes an interview
of fifteen minutes on a science fiction podcast, right, I
remember that, and I ended up doing an hour and something.
Remember that he only posted fifteen minutes and put the

(07:20):
rest of it behind a paywall and made money off
of it. But it was because you know scary, You
and I talk, We go off on tangents, we get
on a roll. And so my twenty minutes with Tom,
how long do you think we ended up recording you
and Tom? I mean, well, knowing you and knowing Tom
the way both of you don't like to you know

(07:40):
you know you don't tell it, you guys, go joke
for joke. I want to say, seventy five minutes, you
are correct? How about that? See my my mental calculator
is sharp today. Let's put it this way. I did.
I spoke to him about my free dessert theory because
something came up in the conversation and you wanted you
to explain it, and and I explained, which he loved. By

(08:00):
the way, he apparably never heard the full blown free
dessert explanation. And I think he's making that its own episode.
So he's gonna cut up the hundred and fifteen minutes
into multiple episodes. But check it out after you listen
to this to future hey, listen, don't don't put it
on the back, don't put it ahead of Brooken Boys episodes.
But it's I think it's entertaining. He is he going
to take the rest to that footage and put the

(08:22):
paywall and charge people. Yeah right, the audio. Yeah, No,
he's gonna split it up. No, we had a good time.
We had a good time. But episode one thirteen of
the Uh Tom Kelly Show podcast, and feel free to
check out other episodes. I I haven't listened to previous,
but I might. Uh. Tom has been a friend for
a long time, so I'm gonna get that out of
the way. But I just wanted to say typical David
Brodie fashion. Uh. He mentioned wicker and of course I

(08:45):
went off on a wicker tangent. Wait you went off
on a wicker tangent here on this podcast? Did I? Yeah? Oh,
what was I talking about? Do you remember? It was?
It was the wicker furniture from that place that you
was it Fairway? You got the wer you got the
second one, and the chair from Wayfair. It was that way,

(09:06):
way Fair. It wasn't really wicker. It wasn't no, it
was it was black and it was like an eggshell.
That's what I said on the podcast with him. Yeah,
of course get the picture I sent you. I did.
I'm staring at it right now. Okay, So I get
all my phone charging cables. And by the way, this
is a pet peeve of mine at one more pet
peeve of mine. My kids do this and I've met

(09:28):
other people that do it also. They asked for a
phone charger, but they mean the cable. So this, yeah, right,
so you sent me They say, can I borrow your charger,
which I mean is can I borrow your cable? The
chargers the box charges the box, right, But my kids,
I need another another charger, and I give him a charger.
They go, no, no, the long one. I go, that's

(09:49):
the cable, okay. So I was buying the new ones
because eventually they wear out or they break whatever. And
so this is an ad for a three pack of
six ft charging cables. And in the picture it shows
the three tops which is the USB part U S A,
and the three bottoms which is the iPhone chord connector

(10:12):
lightning the lightning cable. Right, So it shows you the
three tops and the three bottoms and the same sounding
looks like the three of the same cable, right. And
I always checked the reviews. I know they are all
the good ones aren't always real, but the negative ones
tend to be real, tend to be so I like
to read a few a few positives to see if
they're real, a few negatives. And these cables were not

(10:33):
getting five stars, so I wanted to check out the reviews.
And one of the negative views says deceptive description. The
package only contained three pieces, yet the picture shows six pieces.
Why is that? I'm very disappointed. You fucking moron. So
this idiot gave a bad review on Amazon because it

(10:55):
shows six cables. No, you fucking moron, that's the other
end of the cable, you asshole. Oh my god, how
stupid can you be? And Unfortunately, unlike Instagram, he kiss
On doesn't let you write a comment on someone's comment.
Otherwise you would have tore into that person. Oh it's
killing me, killing me that I can't come. That sucks.

(11:18):
They should really allow that, Yeah, they should, they should,
but they do not. Oh my god, I'm so angry. Yeah,
me too. I'm living. I'm living. To find a way
to make a nasty comment. You could find screen name,
do some research, catch him on Instagram or something, or
slide into a m at loving soul. You know he's

(11:40):
got at least a handle. I think it's a woman
loving soul. She's so loving, she's complaining about not getting
She's the opposite. She's doing the opposite of what her
handle says. I love those people too, and it's you
know what? You know? How much the three the three
cables are? How much you wanted six? What pieces of
ship are you're looking to buy? A dollar a cable?

(12:02):
And don't tell me. You buy cables the dollar store
for a dollar and they're great. They know they're terrible.
They last six months and you don't realize it's gonna
cause your next fire. Next time, you know, the whole
cab it will be burning down the cables. Or there's
no difference. There's plenty of differences charging time, and there's
long gemt. A lot of people don't realize cables charge
at different times, so you can plug in a good cable.
Might say you've done my charge in forty seven minutes.

(12:24):
I've done my research on that. Then you charge, you
put in the shitty cable and it says your phone
will completely charging two hours and nine minutes. Certain differences
they move it, they move it certain speeds and old
cables versus new the connection. You've got to check that.
There's a YouTube. It's a great YouTube video. Uh. And
for the iPhone users listening to this and I'm talking

(12:45):
to you guys, uh, let me say not you not
you brodie. But I will say there's a great YouTube
video about the iPhone chargers. Oh man, I should actually
post that. But it shows you all the cables in
which one is the best one? And honestly, right now,
the fastest charging cable able for an iPhone is the
the new larger not the regular ice cube, the little

(13:05):
square one, the old school one. There's a brand new
one that looks a little bit larger from Apple. From
Apple that comes with the right that one into the
its native UH wire into USB. What is it US?
But it is because it's just perfect frequency for the
far correct rights USBC connector to lightning into. What is
the frequency, Kenneth, I don't know. I think that was

(13:29):
an R reference. No, actually that is the reference for
uh rather, but rather it's an R E M song though. Yeah,
so so uh as we go to a commercial break,
the newsman Dan the commercial break, people get excited about
commercials coming out. You know what, fuck it, I'm just
gonna hit him with it. So I was saying mean

(13:53):
as I was saying before the commercials, No, Dan Rather?
Uh was? It was legendary newsman Dan Rather. Didn't someone
try and to try and shoot him. They loved him.
They were like they were sort of almost kidnapping him, Yes,
And all he remembered was one of them kept asking
him what the frequency was? What is the frequency, Kenneth?
What is it right? So R. E. M Wrote a

(14:14):
song what's the frequency can and she said, which makes
no sense. They just threw it in the song. I
can't believe that. I mean, I can't believe one random
thing leads to another random thing and then they then fallout.
Boy when when with the line in the song, she
tastes just like you only sweeter write something like that.
It's from the Jennifer Garner movie thirty going on thirteen

(14:36):
or thirteen going on thirty. It's a line from a movie,
but it means nothing in the song doesn't really make sense.
It's just something that's thrown there as a pop culture reference,
like yeah in case, all right, all right, Yeah, Bannaking
ladies do that all the time. They just throw ship
and you're like, what are you talking about? Yeah, their
entire being is that? No, just a song one week,
one week classic song. That's my favorite song from them.

(14:56):
Well that's it's a lot of it's non sequitors, back
to back to back. Wh Is there a a a
hoser because they're Canadian, but they have they have a
fantastic catalog of music as some of their stuff is funny.
They do comedy songs and some of the stuff is
just very catchy and poignant. They run the gamut, they
run the gamut. Hey, last weekend, I went to go
see Tyler Henry. You know Tyler Henry is I do not,

(15:19):
You're not, You're not gonna you don't. Okay. He's a
Hollywood medium. He's the guy oh Irene teller story in
the air. Bullshit. Okay, I knew it. See, this is
why I'm bringing it up, because I knew you were
sitting there stewing in your own juices. Yeah, my stewing
in your own juices. So Tyler Henry Hollywood medium, and
he had a TV show he went around Hollywood, Hollywood

(15:42):
me nothing. My girlfriend paid for the tickets. This was
her idea, not mine. So Brodie, I was like you
in this case, I went in as a nonbeliever. I'm
sitting there like, okay, here we go. So if you
don't know him again. He had a show where he
would knock on Hollywood doors go inside, and then he
would literally when you say Hollywood doors, you mean the

(16:03):
doors of Hollywood doors of stars and celebrities, and he
would do readings for them and people would come through,
like in their family, and then they would film the
show and you would see these actors and actresses, and
even though they are actors and actresses, they weren't acting
when when Iced Tea and Coco were there and he
was like telling them all about you know, so and

(16:25):
so wanted to get through and and say the following thing.
You know, it doesn't hurt that Iced Tea and Coco
or a little cookie to begin with that they might
be sust What I'm saying is I went into that
audience as a nonbeliever, ended up believing everything this guy said.
This guy really is a clairvoyant bridge to sell you.

(16:46):
The second half of the show. Now, I I thoroughly
enjoyed it, but the second half of the show was
you know, he was the circus guy. There was a
sucker born every minute. Okay, sorry, what what time did
you go to the show? It? You go ahead? No,
You're gonna offend a lot of people here, because no,
I'm not offending them. I'm only offending you. Some people

(17:07):
have a way about them. They have they've got a
way about them. Sorry, Billy, are you not? Are you not?
Am I not entertained gladiator? Yes? I'm entertained on Okay,
so I wanna. I'm gonna give you an example. So,
so basically, people and you know, come to him, the spirits,
you know, whatever. So you know, so if he's in
a house, it's concentrated and focused. The energies are focused

(17:30):
on that family. Okay. In the audience, he got eight
hundred people there, so he's got to fight off all
these spirits and people trying to come through all there.
But he is right. So he walks around, he paces
the floor. He goes, all right, I'm being pulled in
this direction, and I'm being pulled in this direction. Wait,

(17:52):
I'm sensing the letter M. Wait. No, So then he goes, Mary,
is it Martin. I'm gonna give you one example he
did Jane, Yes, Jane has an end. It's like an M. Yes, Jane.
He did this five times, so so finally you know,
five different people. Okay, but I'm gonna give you one example. Okay,
he says. He says, I'm seeing uh is there? Okay, Okay,

(18:14):
there's a Bob and Bob. I don't know if it's
a if it's somebody in the audience, or if it's
someone's father or somebody past. Who's bob um? Okay? So
now there's a problem because there was a Bob died
in a really terrible, tragic way. But then there's there's
a second layer where something really bad happened after that,

(18:36):
where oh, no, it's bad. And then now the triple
there's a trifecta of bad things, a series of bad events.
Uh is there? And then three or four people from
the audience kind of come to the microphone in the
middle and say, yeah, that's me, that's me, And then
he sends one person away, and then he goes, maybe
it's you, and then he finally he kind of auditions
them or something. And then finally the guy gets to

(18:58):
the microphone that he wants to talk up to. When
he goes, yes, uh, what's your name? He goes, Oh,
I'm Jerry. Okay. He goes, who's Bob, Bob's my father, Okay,
Bob's your father. Okay. So, um, I understand Bob died
several years ago. And then the guy shakes his head, Yes,
Bob died several years ago. My father, Yeah, year two thousand, um,

(19:21):
and um, how did he die? And then uh the
guy The guy says, oh, yeah, well he had got
into a car accident or something. Or it was it
was tragic. Okay, great, that matches up next thing, you know,
Tyler Henry then says, and I understand there was a
lot of family belongings to a lot of things that

(19:42):
meant a lot to him, and uh they were lost
in a in a in a terrible, terrible house fire recently.
The guy stood there, put his hands over his mouth
and just lost it. He was like, that's my father. Yes,
and yes, there was a bedfire and we feel terribly

(20:04):
about it. We lost everything that belonged to him, all
the mementos. So Tyler was like, well, that's why he
came through today tonight to tell you that your father said.
These are just material things. They mean nothing. Stop stressing
over it. It's okay, don't worry about it. And then
the third layer was something that Tyler didn't say out loud,

(20:26):
but he kind of alluded to, was like, I guess
there was a family fight over money or something to
that effect. But he didn't want to get too personal
because he's in front of eight hundred people and he's
telling this guy's life story. So okay, so that so so,
and then and then you know, there was a big
round of applause anyway times that by five five different

(20:47):
people who he owned in on. This guy's a genius.
He actually has a gift. Okay, so let me play
Devil's advocate for you. Number one. The guy in the
audience could have been a plant, could have been you
don't know, number too if he was a clairvoyant. Right,
he said, Oh, your father died tragically somehow. Right, listen
to your story back when you when we record this

(21:08):
and you post it, you said, yeah, my father died
of what his car accident? Right? But I sent something
else happened? Something else? No, no, he he had said
that before he even got to this guy. No, no, no, no, no,
he said what else happened? And who who told the
story about the house fire? Oh, Tyler did Tyler? Did?
You said? The guy told? Tyler did the guy said
there was a house fire? There was he the belongings

(21:34):
were lost? Years later? But who told that story that
the belongings were lost? The guy? You said? The guy did? No,
Tyler did the guy? The guy? The guy told the
story of him dying in a car accident. He honed
it on and there right, Tyler got it right. So
Tyler out of nowhere said, and I see that all
his belongings were destroyed. Oh yeah, he said that before

(21:56):
the guy got on stage. Before the guy there was
a secondary thing and maybe a third thing. You didn't say,
he said, And there was a house fire. You didn't
say that. You said, so you said something else happened,
and then you said. The guy said, yeah, the house
burned down. We lost everything. No, Tyler actually told him,

(22:17):
said that, said in an inquisitive fashion. Was it a
house fire? That like almost was confirming what he was
hearing from his dad that was talking to you. Sure?
All right, Maybe I didn't hear it right now, but
are you sure? Yeah? Yeah, Robin was there, my girlfriend
was there? No? No, no, no, no, no, I'm asking
if you're sure you just told that story just now. Yeah,

(22:39):
Tyler said you lost everything in the house. Yes, he
he said, at point blank, before the guy could even
say all right, I'm convinced, thank you. I'm not convinced.
You're not convinced. Of course, you thought the guy was
a plan. There's nothing in the human brain genetically that
any scientist is every how, Okay, okay, look, let's slices.

(23:01):
If you believe it, that's fine. If you get enjoyment,
if you've had it done and you believe that's fine.
I'm a skeptic, that's all. I believe that I went
in half hearted and I came out a full onbeliever. Alright.
But but the only thing, the reason why I was
was bringing it up was not just to say. It

(23:22):
was more about do I want this in a public forum,
because if you think about because the people, there were
some people that started walking out, and the reason why
is because a lot of people come there. Well, there's
a lot of desperation in the room because a lot
of people want to come there for answers and closure
in their personal life. You walk into you're in the
middle of Atlantic City. You're in the middle of Atlantic City,

(23:43):
which is great and exciting stuff, but no, it's a casino,
this craziness going on. And then you enter this theater
and you feel like you're walking into a funeral and
everyone's and there's this air of desperation, and then the
show starts and then everyone thinks that they're going to
be called on when in reality five people got there,

(24:05):
got their readings done, um everyone else. But it brings
peace to people because everyone else is you know what,
my loved one must be out there as well, because
everyone's loved ones around right. Well, there's that, But a
lot of people were like, the loved one know to
go to Atlantic City? How did Bob know to go
to Atlantic City? No, because because um, Tyler is a clairvoyant,
so he just kind of he whoever's in the room.

(24:27):
Bob's spirit was like the the sun was there in
the audience. So you think the spirits just follow you
around forever? Yeah? I think so what if they have
two kids, they're always with us, They're always with all kids.
Eight kids, you can't be in eight places. There was
energy in the room and and Tyler felt it. All
I'm saying is but but my one, that was my

(24:49):
my one. Two criticisms are a everybody you know, five
people end up getting satisfied. Everybody else walks out like
what the fuck? You know? It's kind of deflating, And
do you really know? You're listening to these stories and
the only thing you can be excited about is that
he got it right. That's a payoff. But if it
was me, let's say, like my aunt Millie came through,

(25:09):
I would have been scared shitless because I don't want
to go up onto the microphone and be I don't
want him doing this reading in front of eight hundred people,
are saying things that I don't want to be said,
or you know what you're doing your aunt Milly? Do
you guys make out what's going on? Dude? You know
what I'm saying, Like, I don't want I don't want gross.
I just think it's a weird. I think that a
reading is a private thing, and the fact that you

(25:31):
have eight hundred people in an audience, Uh, it's kind
of to me slightly icky because it's not my I
don't I would want it done in private. I want
the reading done, but I wouldn't want I wanted to
come over my house and hang out with me and
my family and then we talk. I don't want it
on a microphone in front of eight hundred strangers. So

(25:52):
to me, that's where he lost. Can we at least
agree that nobody goes to these things unless they've got
unresolved issues. For the most part, I would agree with that.
What's Robbin's unresolved? She said, it's pure entertainment for her.
I asked you that same question. But but you have
to realize most of those people are going for salvation
or hope, and that's great. I'm a big fan of

(26:13):
anything that brings people peace, as long as it doesn't
cost you your bank account, you know, as long like
you see these scams on television, these documentaries, these uh
dateline shows where you know, people get sold their homes
to pay a clairvoyant to tell them about their daughter, uh,
and you know it was a scam. So as long
as you don't spend a lot of money and it
brings you happy, I'm fine with it. It's no different

(26:33):
than religion in my mind, whether you believe in religion
or God or whatever, if it brings you in her peace,
I'm fine with it. I would never tell anyone don't
believe in that religion or what my My beliefs are irrelevant,
what what I believe in, what I practice, if it
brings you happiness, and you don't force your beliefs on me,
God bless you, it's it's only when it's only when
you force your you know, you believe that the seventy

(26:53):
five rules you were taught have to be for everyone,
if only we can all respect each other in other
facets of life as well. With those same rules. I'm
a listen I I expect everyone unless their grammar is bad,
then I have to tell them boys podcast. I'm loving

(27:15):
that jingle, the one we played earlier before the commercials.
People know what I mean. The one that played before
the commercials, the Fabreeze one. Yeah, I like that to
be happy fa breeze La la la. That's not what
they say in the commercial. That's not how they sing it.
La la, No, not follow Lot's on Christmas in a
weird mood tonight. Why I got my parents blown up

(27:37):
my phone? They're hanging out. You know, my parents are
empty they're empty nesters. So they're in del Ray right
now with their uh that's Florida, Delray Beach, Florida, with
the other couple. The other couple. Now that my father's
they swing with my father's you know something. My father's
known him since he was a teenager and then they
were double dating together. This like my my my parents

(28:00):
have a swing, Like do you think your parents? Oh
my god, brody stop. I can't even think about this. No,
I'm gonna go with no hard no bo. I'm going
out with that other girl tonight. Sp oh stop it.
Well anyway, Bobby and Carol and Rosanne and Tony there
together in Delray Beach. So I'm helping them get to
uh into this hotel. I met a friend of Bob

(28:22):
and Carroll's I told you that, yes you did, Yes
you did. Yeah. If I know you like you work
on a show, do you know? I always find that
fascinating when people come up to you and you know you,
like as soon as they find out I'm working at
Z one hundred in New York and like, I have
you ever met that Elvis Durant? Yeah, so I get

(28:44):
I get that a lot, not being a host of
the show or on air all the time. You ever
met Elvis Durant? Like, they'll go, do you know Elvis? Yeah?
I stand like three ft away from him every morning
for twenty three years. So I also I also, I'm
not a fan of people who like acknowledge they know
where I work, but then they don't care. They want

(29:04):
they want me to help them meet the other people.
That sucks that, Yeah, well it does. Yeah that happened.
We talked about this as well, Happy where people try
and use us in d M to get to other
people on the show. So we're at the New York
City Wine and Food Festival. We didn't even talk about that. Yeah, yeah,
uh yeah, we have a lot to talk about there.

(29:25):
So after we went on stage, people then were reminded
what we look like, what outfits were wearing, you know, um,
and so people were coming up to us afterwards. In
other words, the doors opened. I think it's for us
at six o'clock and then for everyone else it's six
thirty seven o'clock, whatever it was. And we didn't go

(29:47):
on stage to introduce uh uh Ti Ti vert as. Yep, Okay,
he's great. He's one of the nicest guys we've met
a long time, not that we've had a lot of
guests on in the past year and a half. But
he couldn't have been nicer and just more genuinely happy
to have a job in music. Just what a what
a what a fun, nice, warm, six ft seven person.

(30:10):
So once we came off stage and we Elvis introduced
all of us, a lot of people were coming up
to us, including Kristen and Gavin and a lot of people.
And so when they come up to me, they go,
I get a picture, and I always say, yeah, but
introduce yourself first, like Hi, my name is blah blah blah, um,
you know, because I always feel like it's about the
They just want to get a picture. They think that
they're bothering me, and I always say, no, you know

(30:31):
you're not bothering me. Please, let's take a picture. What's
your name? Where you're from. I like to talk to
people because I appreciate that they want to get a
picture with me or that they're a fan of the show.
So most people were fantastic. But at one point, these
two girls come up to me and they say, hey, um,
where is everyone from the show? And I said, you
know Elvis, Dan, yell, Gandhi, where where is everyone when

(30:56):
you guys going on stage? I said, we were already
on stage. You missed it. So she recognized me enough
to ask me, right, so she didn't see me on stage,
she read, So she says, oh, where are they now?
I said, they're over by the stage, which is over
there on the right, like I know, forty ft away.
They went, thanks, and they walked away. Insignificant man. You yeah,

(31:16):
like you don't want to take a picture, that's fine,
but she's going I love the show. Or if you
don't know my name, that's fine. But what a few
people are like using me to ask directions. Hey, is
Elvis coming around? Is he gonna be? Is he walking around?
You know, I don't know what he is. I don't know. Oh, well,
well if you see him, could you tell him. I'm
gonna mention the person's name. But they said, can you
tell him that? Blah blah blahs looking for them? I said, no,

(31:36):
you know what, you know what? No, I'm not gonna say. Yeah,
I said, you know what, I'm not gonna tell I'm
gonna go over there and get a meat ball palm hero.
So I really can't promise you anything, but he's walking around,
you can find him, so speaking to meat ball palm.
So the way the way the food festival was, they
were a little tents, like little kitchens with a tent
like like at a flea market right where like this

(31:58):
this booths right outdoor. And so there was I don't
know thirty restaurants that brought like an oven at or
pots and they were cooking their specialty and serving it
little cups or little plates. So there was like a
lasagna place that was fantastic, and uh, a tortellini plays
and a few pizza places. Uh, I want to shout

(32:21):
out our two and two of our favorite pizza places
are to Choke Pizza and Village Square. What a pleasure
to be able to eat both of them on the
same night. And there was so so one of the
places all around the end of the pier. They had
the worst spot. I didn't get to it yet. Scary
comes up to me and he says, Scary, what did
you say to me? It's a brody. Please, whatever you do,

(32:42):
don't miss Arthur and Sons. It's the last booth all
the way out at the end of the pier. They
got the best meat ball palms. Seriously, the best balls
I've ever put in my mouth. Now, we were on
PIERO eight six, which is next to the Intrepid Aircraft
Carrier Museum and it's where the the hmer UH commercial

(33:02):
Concord jet from British Airways, one of the many I
think there were a dozen at some point. One of
them is now a museum and it's just parked on
the pier so you can walk under it. And this
booth was right next to the concorde. Unbelievable to stand
next to the concorde. The plane used to break the
speed of Sound in the seventies, eighties, and nineties before

(33:22):
they retired it. And I tried because I trust scary
way to tied food even when he overdoes it. Bro,
don't care. I drop what you do when you gotta
go it. I went and had this meetbol Palm and
had shaved age provolone on top. And keep in mind,
you guys know I'm eating healthy, so I tried my
best to did. I didn't do it to be rude.

(33:44):
I didn't, you know, because a lot of times I'll
you know, I want to mind my own manners because
I know how it is when I'm first quarter scary
trying to fast. So it wasn't being an intentional dick.
It was worth the calories. And I didn't eat the
whole thing, which was one of the hardest things I've
ever done in my life. It was outrageous, outrageously right.
And they're opening up not a not a sponsor, at

(34:06):
least not a sponsor yet, but Joe the chef fantastic.
I made friends with him, of course, because you want
to be friends with the guy who cooks really well.
And it turns out he's the guy that started Black
Tap Burgers. They're the ones that make those crazy shakes
right as it black tap right. He sold the company,
but he's the genius behind that. And so I went
up to Elvis later and I pulled a scary and

(34:28):
I said, hey, Alice, did you have a chance to
walk to the end of the pier? Did you have
author and Son's people palm hero? And he says, what
are they paying you? Who's paying you? More? Them? More? Scary?
Scary has already been nagging me for a half hour.
I said, Elvis, he's right though, it's that good because
you know what, I don't need you telling me what
he's like. I gotta I'm good, I'll find everything he's

(34:49):
he's But by the way, you gotta try. Was it
um No, that's a that's a was a as an
Italian restaurant, right, he says, he but you're gonna try.
But favorite is my favorite restaurants right now. But so

(35:10):
so he did to you what I did. So they
had a Tortalini. It was a it was a Totalini
called it. They called it an It was a Totalini
for those people who don't care that muther and it
was what was inside, but look it up. It was
up sweet. I want to I think I took a

(35:31):
picture of the sign um and so I said told
us like, wait, I said, scary, and I can't promote.
We can't promote the Arthur and Sons Sons, but you
can promote your Italian restaurant us. He's like, you got me.
It was fantastic. The whole event was was great. Um
had no complaints, no except the people that were using me.

(35:52):
Just yeah. And by the way, I almost offended someone.
I didn't I didn't exactly hear what she said, and
so I asked if I could please make an inappropriate joke. Oh,
here it is fire roasted chestnuts stuffed with Parmesiano is saba.
So is chest nuts, University chestnuts, uh, stuffed with parmesian

(36:13):
oh e saba in a tortellini whatever you wanna call it.
Bring that and they can be found on Instagram at
not a sponsor Are Easy d O R A N
y C. Also the Lasagna place. It is fantastic, so
much good food. Yeah, all right, what what did you say?

(36:35):
What are you gonna say? I was, I don't know
what are you gonna say? I know, Oh I offended someone?
So Kristen so it was really loud, right, and so
we were talking about she said something about, oh, I
I ordered food. I'm a I'm a. She's not the
order she's the purchaser for a supermarket chain in Connecticut.
And I've heard of the supermarket chain once I heard

(36:55):
what she said. But I said, oh, that's great. Yeah,
she said, uh, I work at big Y. But I
thought she said I have a big y, which made
me think of like her nether regions. So I, first,
who calls it a y? Wouldn't it be V? It's
a V? Right? But I you know, I I was like,
I don't know what she's What do you mean she
has a big y? I go, I go, that sounds inappropriate.

(37:17):
What do you I forgive me for asking what do
you mean? You have a big y? So she left
you just no, no, no, I work at big Y.
What you could say that on the podcast? I'm not offended.
So shout out to Christian who works in big Y,
Big Y, Kristen Christen. That's what she said. She tweeted
me big white christin Christian checking in. UM, I wanted
to ask you, Uh, first of all, I have a

(37:38):
couple of things. But first of all, I wanted to
a story of hope, a story of hope, okay for
produce and I want to see all this hope. Producer.
Sam and I were leaving the radio station and we
were parked on the street on Friday, and my meter
had expired probably five minutes prior. As I'm walking towards

(38:00):
the car, a good Samaritan was literally standing there and said, oh,
it is your car. I said yeah. He goes, oh,
you're good till eleven thirty. Now, in New York City,
when you park your car and you want to extend
your parking your your your parking meter, you have to
pay the meter with a credit card and then you
you print out the slip and then you put it

(38:20):
on your windshield to show that you are you know,
you're league, you're legally parked. You don't feed meat physical
meters anymore with quarters. So he had all these paper
slips and he's going up and down the line, the
line of cars and putting the updated these paper slips
under the windshields of all the cars he had. He goes, yeah,

(38:42):
you were about to get a ticket, dude, And I
just paid your meter. I said, I said, do I
know you? And he goes, No, man, my name is Francisco,
he goes, But I just don't like it when these
these meter people are sitting there at you know, waiting
to pounce when the meters are up, and they just
waited to give that ticket with one minute after, you know,
one minute after expires. I do. I wanted you to.

(39:06):
I want to make sure that you you got your
your parking paid for. So he renewed my meter and
about three other people that were parked in that row,
and he saved them all from getting parking tickets. How
crazy is that? That's that's excellent. I mean it cost
him like a dollar a car. But would you have
the wherewithal? Would you have the uh? Would you jump?

(39:30):
Would you have done it? Would you have done it?
If you saw you sitting you're just sitting there and
you you saw this meter person, you know, the ticket
person coming down the street, like I'm gonna go, I'm
gonna go see which cars are expired, and I'm gonna
go buy quickly go to the master meter and start
you know, paying with my credit card and start spinning
out like extra time for and start putting the slips

(39:52):
on people's windshield. So there within the time limit. Would
you would you do that? Yeah? I think I think
I I think I would. I would feel terrible. I
like if it was old school and I had a
quarter in my pocket, I would put the quarter in Yeah,
so right, okay, Yeah, and I would too. I just
you know, just when you lose all hope in humanity,
just know there are people like Francisco out there. Well,

(40:12):
there's a woman. I was at Target a couple of
days ago, and I'm in the parking lot and the
car directly in front of me where nose two knows
a woman with a couple of kids. So she's sort
of like balancing one kid in the cart, one kid
in the crook of her arm. She's loading the back
of her SUV, and she's got a lot going on.
I hear a woman yelling mass, Mess, Mess, And a

(40:35):
woman runs by my car up to this woman, and
I cracked the window open so I could hear the conversation,
and she says, I think you dropped this. The woman says, what,
I was behind you in line in the store and
I noticed as you were leaving you dropped this. So
it wasn't a Target employee, it was just another customer
that saw the thing and rushed through the parking line.

(40:58):
By the way, it was raining in the rain, rushed
out to give her bag of whatever it was. See,
we need more people like that, we do, we do.
I'll tell you who We don't need more people of
the kinds of evil son of a bitches that would
steal stuff off of your work desk. This you did,

(41:19):
hear it? You blew me off. I'll remind you. Oh no, no, no,
no no, I'm gonna tell the story right all right.
So we've been in these offices now since two thousand eight.
After so we had um, we had really nice offices

(41:41):
prior to two thousand eight. Jersey City, New Jersey, we
were there from We had a giant office with huge
space and tables for hanging out, an extra desks. I
didn't appreciate that place at the time, but I appreciate
it more now looking back. Two Fox and we had
a lot of We had cabinets above our cubicles. And yeah,

(42:05):
so when we moved into the new place, Greg t
the Jersey Kid, he and I had face to face
cubicle by the window, right, so if I stood up,
I saw the top of his head okay, So at
the side of our cubicles was a little wall, like
partly my wall, partly his wall, because the cubicles were
were face to face, right head to head, cheek to

(42:28):
cheek exactly, And so when we moved in, there was
no place to hang our coats. And yes, you can
put your coat on your chair, but when you lean back,
the coat falls off. It's never convenient. Plus you might
want to hang up an umbrella or a book bag
or whatever, you know, a backpack, whatever. So t went
to home depot and brought these really nice. He had
to buy a few of them until we found ones

(42:48):
that fit into a little space between the shelf on
the cubicle and the edge of the cubicle is a
little like a half in space where this over the
hook thing, which had like a magnet weight on it,
fit in perfectly so that the coat wouldn't be able
to pull it off, right, because some of the over
the door ones are thin, so they fit right. This
was like the perfect like it was made for our cubicles.

(43:11):
And we've had those on our desk since two thousand,
late maybe maybe early two nine, right, it's been a
long time, a long time, well, number one. I haven't
been in the office in a while. Did you said
it's been a long time since we rock and roll?
Of course, yeah, And so I haven't used it in
a while because I have only barely been in the

(43:31):
office in the past a year and a half, maybe
five times twice, and then I've been in the office
much more lately. So on Friday, since it's now getting
colder in New York, was the first time since March
March Anniversary show May so since I've been coming in

(43:52):
sporadically since May. Um, it's the first time I've needed
a coat, So I hung up my coat on the
hook on Friday. On Tuesday, Elvis was in the studio,
so I came in. My hook is gone, Gregg teath
hook is gone. We're both gone. So there's only like

(44:13):
twelve people outside the morning show. There's only I think
seven people that work at the radio station. And so
I emailed everybody and I went and I walked. Everybody
walked at all the studios looking for him. Maybe someone
put it over the door, Maybe someone used it as
like for a they filmed a video, what did they
and they put it down somewhere. Nothing can't find it.

(44:35):
So I send that an email to everyone on the
staff and I'm like, hey, if you see my hooks,
can you please return them. I'm not accusatory, but I
like my hooks back. They just they've been there for
how many years? Now? Twelve years? They disappeared frieda did
you well, well, let me ask you this. Did you
find them? No? Um, it is dawning upon me right

(44:56):
now where they might be. You tell me where they are.
The first thing you said to me was, Brody, what's
the big deal, go buy new ones? Well, yeah, because
they're fucking hooks. Who cares at the time. At the time,
it seemed to try. Here we are trying to put
together a one city, multi market morning show for a network,
and you're running around with a chicken, like a chicken

(45:18):
with out a head, looking for a freaking hook for
your coat. I was gonna say, do what we all
do in the morning. We show up and we just
throw our coats all over the back of chairs wherever
there's an empty space. What's so important that you have
to hang your coat on a damn hook When we
have bigger fish to fry at that hour of the morning.
That's where that's where I was coming from. So you said,

(45:40):
just go buy another one. So I said, if it's
not the bigger deal, give me the money to buy
its problem. Well, I'm not gonna make your problem problem.
What about the guy, the good nature guy who put
money in the met to for you? Well, well that's
different about but we need more people like that. We do.
But on that. But when you're screaming at the top
of your long for book, I didn't screaming you. I

(46:02):
just said I can't believe I'm back in the office
and since Friday one of my coworkers stole my code on.
It's gonna look really petty if you send an email
out to the office. I didn't accuse anyone. I said, hey, uh,
if they're laying around, maybe someone used them for something.
If you could do me a favor, put him back
when you get a chance. I said. It's been a
sound petty, like here's Brody again complaining. Tell you what

(46:24):
one of the DJs threw three other people under the bus. Really, Oh,
you left off these two people and this person worked
on the weekend. You should check them out too. Well.
As I'm sitting here right now, I just thought of something.
I bet you no, no, what I think might have happened.
I think Greg T reclaimed his property because he might

(46:49):
have him in his office guaranteed. Did you ask Greg T? Yeah?
I did. I did think I may have. Okay, I'll
tell you why, because I know because he's been he
comes down the hall all the time, and he was
in this studio last week, so he might have went
to his old desk and like, oh my god, I
forgot these. And then so first of all, f you
for getting my hop stop that you thought you knew
where they were? That was I thought you were gonna say,

(47:10):
you know, now that I think about it, Okay, it's
not an educated guest. Second of all, Greg T has
a full size office with the door now now that
he has his own hosting, his own morning back of
the door, he's got a code a code hanger like
a coat stand. Right, he didn't need the cheap hooks.
He doesn't have a cubicle anymore. And he wouldn't have

(47:32):
taken both of them. He would have taken his. And
he did not take them. I asked him, I said, T,
where'd you get those? I need to buy another one.
He didn't say, oh yeah, I took him. Okay, nope,
he said, I don't. I don't have him. So I said,
if you took him to it's fine. I know you
were there for the hooks. So he claims he didn't
take him. Now did he take him home with him?
And he's lying to me. He would have just said

(47:52):
Brodie took him home. I bought him. I took him.
I wasn't upset about it. I just I just I'm
just tired people stealing ship. I know. I know to
me they just hooks how much? But now you're putting
it in context and making me feel like a shad
because they were probably was about to say, and there
were the ones that fit that space so deepot makes

(48:14):
them anymore more importantly than the price they were. They
were the ones that fit, and you couldn't find them anymore.
I've already looked at the three over the doorhooks I
have at home. None of them are gonna fit. So
my life is over. Your life is over. And I'm
just wondering if you tip the ice guy at the club,
the ice guy, what are you talking about? My return

(48:35):
to the club was on Saturday. On Saturday night, I
went to my first Duck club I went to I
was not wearing my dit the easiest Friday to the
listen when in Rome, right, I was down in a C.
I told you we were seeing the taller Henry show.
We stayed over at the Ocean beautiful, more addressing younger

(48:55):
than they should be. I'm seeing a name and and
Anthony Andrew something like that. Hardy har har harror. So
after so after dinner, they were like, we want you
to check out h Q two, which is the nightclub
which is reopened. It's probably the only large scale nightclub
opened in uh a C right now. So they're like,

(49:15):
we're gonna set you up with a table and some
bottles where we're gonna do it right, bottle of champagne,
bottle of vodka, bring your bring your crew. They So
I show up at the club and again, I haven't
been to a club in a like a club like
that in a long time, because since before the pandemic.
If I'm thinking, yeah, because because we don't, we haven't
done that, we haven't done those those nightclubs, you know,

(49:37):
DJ turning it up, laser light focused everywhere, crazy go
bows in the sky. You know. So anyway, so we
get there and then you know, you know, we have
the late the woman who pours the drink. They refused
as soon as they see you from across the room,
you know, trying to pour your own drink. Pick up
the vodka out of the ice. She comes storming over. Now,

(49:58):
let me let me get that for you, because they
want the big tip. Well, every ten minutes the guy
was there was a guy trailing her, and he was
like kind of made it known up front, like you know,
when you're pining for a tip and you want to
show that you're part of the team, and like, oh,
don't just tip the hot waitress over there who's pouring

(50:19):
your drinks. I'm here too, I'm part of the team.
So when they came over to introduced themselves, it was
it was her and him. And then every ten minutes
he started replacing the ice, even when it didn't need
to be replaced. So all of a sudden, he would
like to be like, oh hold on, let me get
let me get the ice, because it's all he could do.
He doesn't pour drinks, he doesn't handle the bottles, he
doesn't do the check any of that stuff. So he

(50:41):
takes away dirty glasses and it takes two ice, and
he goes and he replaces it with new ice. Now, Brodie,
how we're in a we're in an air conditioned club.
How often do you think the ice needs to be changed? Oh?
Every two hours? Right, the guy with every ten fifteen minutes,
he'd come by, he'd be like, oh, let me replace

(51:04):
your ice, And he goes to get another bucket of ice,
and then he puts the old bucket, takes the old
bucket away, and it takes everything that was sitting in
ice from the old bucket and and puts it in
the new bucket with the ice. And I'm like, the
guy's giving us fresh ice every fifteen minutes. So at
the end of the night, it was time for me
to tip the waitress, obviously, But how much do you

(51:25):
tip the ice guy? Uh? How much does he tips?
The ice guy? Two dollars? Two dollars? I don't know.
I give the guy who drives my car two dollars
of the fair he's part of the team. Well, maybe
they pull the tips. I don't know. I gave her.

(51:49):
Oh my god, the waitress, I gave him. How much
was the tab scary? And then up being oh no,
well no, I keep in mind the bottles were comped,
So what what what would have been if it was
it was gonna be like forty dollars for the ice guy.

(52:09):
I gave the ice guy forty bucks. You gave him
forty bucks for changing the ice. What's it like to
live in your world? No, but I had to keep
in mind I did not pay for anything else. Yeah,
and we there was like there were six of us there,
so we were gonna encouraging the ice guy to be
a professional ice guy. Well that's that's my point. It
was like the ice guy and I know a lot

(52:32):
of people listening to a lot of people. Mom, I
dropped out of college. Look at me, Now I got
forty bucks for changing ice. Ha If here's a lot
of people that are listening like, oh, I just go
to a bar and I got beer and shots and
what then are you talking about? Scary? And I understand
that if this is a very bougie tipped a sparkler
girl putting the sparklers in the ball. Oh my god.

(52:54):
They came by with one of those A little something
for your sparkle lady. They came by with a sign
that was lit up like letterbox and it said h
Q two welcomes Scary, and they had a bottle parade
and they were going up and down with the sign
and they had each other on each other's shoulders, and
about six six bottle girls came out with sparklers and everything.

(53:15):
I didn't tip them anything because that was the presentation moment.
Now a lot of people again cannot relate. But my
point is, at some point in your life can't relate. No,
But at some point in your life, you may be
going to someone's bachelorette bachelor party, or you're gonna do
like some crazy night out. It's maybe a once in
a lifetime to bachelorette party. I went to a girl's
shot ping pong balls out of her huha, that's not

(53:36):
quite the same thing. It was in the Knights of Columbus,
like a rinky dink back room with and the bachelor
had a whiffootball bat and he was hitting the ping
pong ball. If you do a Vegas you could do
a Vegas thing a Vegas or Miami and you go
to the club the things that's Knights at Columbus club night. Duh.

(54:00):
That's duh, by the way, Columbus. So my my larger
point here is do you tip the ice guy? And
because I felt bad, so I felt like I had
money had to come out of my pocket. He was changing,
he was replacing the ice every ten minutes. I can't no,
I just I'm dumbfounded. I should be an ice guy,

(54:21):
probably make more money. So I did the wrong thing.
I gave him four. I gave him for his because
I had to calculate. I'm like, how many times did
he come back? All right? And we've been here for
three hours? The guy was like waiting on his hand
and foot. I mean, you can't put a price on
good service. I mean, so you know, I figured it
has to be worth more than that. No, I guess

(54:43):
it has to be. It has to be that. I
don't know. I know it's a lot of money. It
is a lot of money. It's forty dollars. But but
when considering I was camped and I didn't pay anything
going in, I'm not gonna walk into like a freeloader,
drink all their drinks and leave. Yeah, I guess. I guess. Okay,
had you paid for the bottles? Uh? Now? Or have

(55:04):
you given the ice guy? Probably? Nothing? Oh? Okay, So
now he should work for freeze. What you're saying, Well,
I don't know. I felt like I don't know. I
felt like I I felt guilty that no money came
out of my pocket, so I felt like I had
to tip the ice guy. I feel like, if the
ice guy dies, if you don't tip him and he

(55:24):
dies tragically, the next time you go to see Tyler Perry,
the clairvoyant, whatever that guy was, he's gonna say, does
anyone know Ice? I'm hearing Ice? There any about Ice?
That guy would come back from the dead to tell
you that he didn't You didn't tip him. I'm sensing
a cheapness at the club. Did you not tip the
ice guy? He says he's he's still holding a grudge.

(55:45):
I bring it up because it is absurd and wesertain
things on this podcast. Before we wrap this up, to
have time to tell you about a tip situation with
me that happened at a restaurant. We have all the
time in the world right after this, so I was
at a very nice theme restaurant with my buddy Jeff.

(56:07):
By the way, I've mentioned him on this podcast a
bunch of times. I've also referred to him as my
friend without saying his name friend. He was at the
Wine of Food festival and when I guess so when
people come up to me to say, you know I
brought you can't get a picture? I said, sure, my
friend Jeff here will gladly take the picture if you want.
And every almost everyone said, oh my god, yours friend

(56:28):
from the podcast with the jeep and the cars and
the all thing. People remembered him. So he he's like
he became famous because all of a sudden, he's the
guy I keep talking about. Not not all my stories
about him, but some of them are. So he was like, hey,
I'm famous for the So we went to dinner on
Monday night on a Monday and our waiter's name was Tom,

(56:53):
and Tom I could tell was not a good waiter.
I could just tell he wasn't a good waiter. He
was just like nervously like, I'll be with you guys
in a second. And I was like, okay, Tom's not
a good waiter. So he came over and he says,
you have you guys been here before? I said, yep,
we're here all the time, all right, Because I was
gonna tell you what the bathroom is. God, it's very nice,
but no we've been here before that no one's ever

(57:16):
told where the bathroom was. I thought that was that
was helpful. I guess right. And he says, I'll come back,
come get your order, let me know when you're ready. Said, well,
we're ready. We're here all the time. We know what
we want. So, uh, my friend orders a drink, you know,
iced tea or whatever, and so I said, just give
me a glass of water. Be fine. And I said,

(57:37):
we'll place the appetizer order now and we'll come back
with a We'll give you the whole thing now, so
we'll give an appetized order. We went to case the
Diaz and we order our dinner and uh my friend
orders what he used the orders, and I order what
I would used the order, but I had something different
less time, because I told you I'm beating healthy. And
so they make this, uh maple glazed salmon with um

(58:00):
an apple, an apple fennel chopped up thing so it
tastes like liquorice. It's fantastic, and parsnips or something. So
I don't want the parsnips. So the last time I
was there, I had them substitute these. Uh they're this.
How do I explain this. If you make the O
sign with your fingers like an okay sign, that they

(58:22):
would be inside that hole. That's how big the potatoes were,
like the size of a quarter potato. Yeah, there were,
there were, There were Yukon gold potatoes. Those are the
small ones and the small ones, right, And so the
last time I got them, I had a glaze on them,
and they were like double stuffed with some cheese inside.
Unbelievably good. They were so good the last time I
was there, I took an order home with me, that's

(58:45):
how good they were. So I tell Tom, instead of
the parsnips, I'd really like the Yukon gold potatoes that
come with the steak. Should be no problem. So he says, oh,
I'm not familiar with those. I said, we'll just tell
the guys in the back the potatoes that you cause
the little ones. They come, excuse me, come with the steak.

(59:07):
See right, So they were already on the menu with
another dish, right, I said, It's not like you're asking
him to go back into the kitchen rummage through the
ship that for something that may not exist. So he says,
all right, and he sounds confused, like his brain is
gonna explode. And I've tried to be easy with him.
It was just like one, one substitution, just just that.
So he comes back and he says, I think they

(59:29):
know what it is. I think they know what it is.
Think And he brings my friend his drink and he says,
are you sure you don't need a drink to me?
And I said, no, I ordered the water. Oh I
don't think you did, but not a drink or he
just didn't hear you the first time. Well don't don't, don't,
don't ever blame me. So I said no, I absolutely

(59:51):
ordered the water because I knew what you know. I
knew I ordered the water because I didn't order to
diet coke no ice, because I'm trying to cut down
on anything that would that would trigger me to want food,
so I would out of my way to Oddly in
my mind, me saying it a water sounded weird. Well
it sounded like the cash register doesn't wring in his brain,
because that's true, that's what that was. Probably the water

(01:00:11):
is very nice about it. Whatever. And so the food
comes out and I've got a giant baked potato on
my plate, cut in half. So I said, I'm sorry
about the time, but I really want the small Yukon
the little Yukon potatoes, little ones, And I said, and
these have bacon in them. I don't. I don't want bacon.

(01:00:33):
I want the double fluffed re stuffed that I had
him last time. I wish I was. I would have
eaten that. It was fine, but I don't know what
hell calls you? Good friend you have and so he goes,
let me check, and so a manager comes out. Very
I didn't ask for the manager. A manager comes out
and he says, oh, you want the Yukon potatoes. He goes,
those are the Yukon potatoes. I said what. He goes, well,

(01:00:56):
those are the potatoes we have currently in stock that
they're ferent sizes than what you're used to. So I said,
you don't have the little potatoes with the cheese, and
they go, these have cheese in them? You have they
have bacon them the ones in that bacon. Oh they
should have. So I was here on got to put
the bacon in day and he doesn't laugh. I go,
because I had to. I had two orders of them.

(01:01:18):
They didn't bacon. He's all a supposed that bacon, I said,
so all right, that's fine. So I had these giant
potatoes now on my plate, which is not what I want.
And I wanted the little ones with the glaze on.
These were bone dry awful. Okay, anyway, we get that.
That was fine. It wasn't a big deal. So the
check comes and I ordered salmon and my friend ordered

(01:01:38):
a flatbread pizza. Now mine was what was like ten
dollars more than his, and I just as easily as
I don't want to overpay for somebody else, I said,
you know what, I'm gonna pay more for for the
food because I ordered the expensive salmon. That's well, that's
how I roll. I'm not cheap. I'm smart with money,

(01:01:58):
and I do the right thing. So I I said,
you know what, I'll have them split it. I did
the math and I said to the to Tom when
he came back and said, Tom, I have the blue
credit card, he has the green one. On the blue one,
put thirty four dollars and then the rest on his
You really think that, uh, Tom, Tom? Tom Tom dumb

(01:02:20):
order as a professional waiter. You think he's gonna get
pole to split the check. He can't even get your
order right, and if your introspect. I should have split
the check and had and I would have friends. That's
what you should do. But I said, you know what,
I'm gonna just split the check and I'll pay the
more money because I you know, you said you put
this amount here in that amount, just charged thirty four dollars. Right,
So he comes back. He by the way, he doesn't

(01:02:43):
offer us dessert for some reason. But the other every
other table we hear him saying, would you like the dessert?
We have this lovely blah blah blah and this amazing
blah blah blah. He probably wanted to get you the
funk out of here. I'm not did not offer us dessert.
I'm thinking he sign right there. So he brings the
check and it's split evenly. Who was Tom dumb? Tom dumb?

(01:03:06):
So so the manager walks by, goes, how are you guys?
Everything good? I said, well, you couldn't help yourself. I
wanted my coat hooks at the restaurant. So I said
that the guy, hey, you know, um oh man, we
asked for the check to be split a certain way,

(01:03:26):
and it was even It's not a big deal, But
what is it a big deal to resplit. He is, no,
I'm ridiculous. So he said, I'll take care of for you.
So it ten minutes later he comes over and he goes,
I'm really sorry. The printer had to have the paper
replaced her at a paper to go to the back
and get more paper. Uh, and uh, it just took
a while. I'm sorry about that. But here you go,

(01:03:47):
and it was done. But it was just it took
like an extra fifteen minutes to get the check from
what I ordered the check to be split a certain way.
So lesson learned to me, when the guy is not
really all there, don't ask him to do a little
extra because you're not gonna get it. You ain't gonna
get it. I'm not gonna get it. So I got Uh,
I got a good meal and had oversized potatoes. And

(01:04:08):
now what was just scary. Let me ask you a question.
Number one, what would you have tipped the guy? And
number two would you ever trust to order that order again?
Number one, I would still give him because I think
that that is automatic. I think that, but isn't it
isn't it supposed to be? Like, thank you for great service.
And by the way, please don't tweet us that T

(01:04:29):
I p S stands for and golf is not gentleman
only ladies forbidden. You know, we've got So you give him.
What would he have to do to get less than
be a rude, obnoxious asshole. So if he's like what
if he's tripped in if it was all accidental and

(01:04:51):
it was all being aloof and unaware and he's just
forgotten he was dumb and forgetful and just being stupid,
I still give him. They still did the work, they
put the effort in for what they thought was a
good job. It's when they start treating you like a
piece of ship, or they start getting nasty or any

(01:05:12):
of the any any of that stuff. That's all if
you dessert, no, no, no, that's when the one he
starts coming off from me. But but right, and that's
that's what I say. That's that's when the letter writing
campaign begins. Because now I got I want to get
I want Now I have a couple of email I
want to read them. Yeah, I have some stuff too,

(01:05:33):
So okay, so one last question, what would the ice
guy had to have done to have gotten a less
of a tip? The ice guy have gotten wrong? What
I have given you did you give him less than
than give me dirty okay, give me dirty looks. What
if you hand jammed your ice accidentally, I'm okay with
it if you didn't know what he was doing. Yeah,

(01:05:54):
but if he like really fucked me over, now would
have to be intentional. I listen, I'm not gonna fault
anybody for getting shipped wrong or whatever, because you get
what you pay for when it comes to where you're,
where you're at, and who who's who's helping? You know
who's working. To the shift, you know, the Sunday morning shift,
you know those the two you go into any said,

(01:06:17):
uh fast food chain or or even casual fast casual
chain on a on a Tuesday Wednesday afternoon. A lot
of times that's where the newbies are, the training people,
the rookies. They give them more experienced shifts, in my opinion,
to the week the weekend nights like those are your
prime timers, right, the ones that can work fast and

(01:06:38):
do the better job. So I don't but I don't
take money away from them. I just feel like they're
just in training, and I attribute it to that. I
don't know, I'm not you know, I'm very lenient, like
that I don't. I don't get mad at people. All right,
that's fine. So before we read some email and some
stuff I just wanted to before. I don't need to
hit the jingle a song at the end, I want
to call you out on something you did that was
very dangerous. So I'm just just let's read the email

(01:07:00):
it before we get out of here. I'm gonna call
you out on something, just to show the lengths you
will go to a dollar. All right, here we go talk.
That sounds like it's mail time. Welcome, You've got mail

I want to thank Rosie r o z e y At.
I am Rosie. David Brodie loved my new Brooklyn Boys hoodie.
Love listening to you guys. She's wearing in the picture

the hoodie. I'm not enough accessorizing, So thank you for
your purchase. All right, thank you? All right. German Bayaz
wrote to us, guys, been winding right in for a while.
I'm not too active on Herman, Okay, alright, big he's
a big DMR. Not too active on Twitter, and there

(01:09:58):
isn't enough space there to say what I want to say.
Uh that's being said. I have to be brief about this,
but I want to say thank you for a good, solid,
funny podcast. Been familiar with the staff at the Big
Show for so many years, and the podcast does a
great job in highlighting your talents in an expanded forum health.
Kudos to Brodie for his new health habits. This is important.

(01:10:18):
I've always been slightly overweight, and a little over ten
years ago, I looked at my kids and said to myself,
I gotta be better, simply because I want to be
here as long as possible for my family and myself.
I started running, working out, eating better, and the forty
five year old me would easily kick the ass of
the twenty five year old me. The important thing is
I don't believe in diets. You have to make all

(01:10:39):
the positive changes a part of your daily lifestyle. So scary.
Let's stop the quarterly versions of you. You can do better. Also,
you can eat whatever you want, keep eating pizza, chicken,
parm and meatballs. You just gotta balance it out with
meal size over healthy eating habits and physical activity. Okay,
he goes on to talk about health. Um, all right,

(01:11:01):
this is kind of pro This is private stuff here. Uh,
I know this is long. I don't expect you to
read this on the podcast. Oh too late. I skipped
over the whole middle section to which I'll send you
privately Brodie anyway, keep turning out great content. Um I've Oh,
by the way, how about a health on a lollipop? Um? Okay,

(01:11:23):
here's an idea for the merch store from him. How
about a health push for your followers. Make a tech
running T shirt. Have your followers buy went and post
a pick of them doing some running or other physical activities.
I'd buy a I Run with the Brooklyn Boys podcast
T shirt. Anytime I run, I run with the Brooklyn Boys.
I roll, I run, I run with the Brooklyn Jogging Yes.

(01:11:46):
And if you're overeating, I roll with the Brooklyn Boys, yes,
so run. I like that in one of those dry
fit shirts. I like that. Thank you so much. Straight
out of Bushwick and long suffering met fan myself and
I've got one more and then we'll go right back
to you. I guess the cup of thing I wanted
to touch on real quick. It's uh, it's it's not

(01:12:07):
baseball ish. But somebody, I don't think I read this.
If I read this before, I apologize. I was on
a Mets Instagram page, like a like a fan page,
like somebody who like really follows the he writes a
blog for the Mets, and uh, this person wrote, where
the Mets whenever we're not in a close game, we're
getting rocked. There aren't those the only two options? It's

(01:12:30):
either or right, it's either a close game or it's
not a close game. Those are the other than being
a tide game. I guess, so I O, I go,
there only two options? What are you like? We're typical
Mets were either we're either losing by a little, losing
by a lot. You know? Oh yeah, shut, that's sorry.
Just don't be stupid. Rachel Kohler the dog, Rachel Color,

(01:12:53):
Dog Training. That's where this email comes from. Rachel Color,
the dog trainer, Brooklyn Boys. I will not say names.
I started listening to the fifteen Minute Morning Show years ago,
going through phases of binge listening to it. While listening
to that, I had a hard time telling y'all's voice support.
Once I was caught up on that podcast, I needed

(01:13:14):
more podcast content from Elvis around morning show. Since listening,
I have no idea how I used to mix you
all up, so she used, So she started listening, and
then she started she was on to say. I decided
to finally listen to the Brooklyn Boys podcast. I started
from the beginning currently up to episode fourteen from October
two thousand seven, two thousand seventeen. That's where we played

(01:13:36):
the unedited phone taps. I believe now that was episode
fifty because I'm tweeted editing. Yeah. By the way, since
it's Halloween week, goal listening episode fifty and you'll hear
our unedited phone taps. You're welcome their Halloween theme. They're
perfect just in time of the season. Going back to
her email, every time I hear y'all read the emails,
I want to send you one, and once I get
caught up, and if y'all read my email, maybe I'll

(01:13:57):
get to hear a little snippet of it. Guess what
you will at some point, but not right now because
you're an episode four team. See maybe in three more years. Um. Anyway,
that being said, I enjoyed listening to you all on
the fifteen minute Morning show and this podcast. I always
turn on the Brooklyn Boys while network. Like everyone else
who writes, I love the rants and y'all's arguing. The
only thing I hate is that I can't chime in

(01:14:18):
on the arguments. Why are you not live? Well, that's
not a podcast radio show? Yeah, writing this email on
October seventee. What year will it be When I hear this,
I will write to you. Then I feel like episode
two hundred, we should maybe experiment with the thing we've
been talking about experimenting with. Yes, I think so too. Alright,

(01:14:40):
let's throwing out maybe that lit the b b Q. Alright,
So here's what I want to wrap up with. And
and just scary. We have teased you about slipping in
a commercial endorsements, and you'll endorse any product, and you
do a good job with clients. You're you're a fan
of I get that. You know what, No, he promotes
their clients like you. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go

(01:15:02):
ahead and I'm gonna mention a client. But only because
in order to mention this client on your on your
social media, don't interrupt. You risk the lives of yourself
and the people around you. On the verizontal bridge, the
second the is it the that's the second longest suspension
bridge in the world. It was at the time the
longest suspension bridge in America, I believe, or second to

(01:15:24):
the Golden Gate. I forget, which doesn't matter, don't twet me.
But it's it's one of the longest suspension bridges in
the world while driving. I don't know if you followed
this truck from the warehouse to make it look like
you just happened to pull up behind it. But I
see you changing lanes and passing cars to get in
behind the truck from a company that you are currently

(01:15:47):
doing an endorsement for, and you filmed it on your
phone back of the truck, and you wrote, I see
you at Dumbo Moving for Dumbo Moving Company. You tagged them.
I have a field. Please tell me you didn't tag
them while driving. Please tell me that was late. I'm

(01:16:08):
gonna okay, slices, I'm about to just take the wind
out of Brodie Sales right here. My girlfriend taped that
from the passenger seat. Well, that ruins the joke. You
don't have to do that. You don't have to do
a podcast. Why would you say that? Because I'm being honest,
because I don't want people to think I'm a fucking idiot.
And then I'm that I'm that I'm driving a car
over a bridge on an expressway and I have my

(01:16:30):
phone out because I would never do that. Okay, but
you were driving and passing people, and I will say,
I will say this. I will give you that much. Um,
they are my client, they wore my client, and they
are and they I was driving and I spotted them
past me. They whizzed past me. I'm like, the right lane.

(01:16:50):
I know. I was on the left lane because it
was the first was the lane to the Bell the
Bell Parkway. Wait, hold on up and grab a camera.
I was like, take out your phone. I'm like, give
me some footage, give me some footage. So she she
grabbed the footage and hastily and that's the first time
your girlfriend ever ever grabbed the footage, if you know what.

(01:17:10):
So so she basically did the taping for me and
I did the weaving to try and get I had
to get near the truck so I can get the
proper angle we were actually we're talking about, truth be told.
I was trying to catch up to it for a
good ten minutes because it started on the stat Now
and Expressway where it went past me, and then finally

(01:17:32):
I caught up to it on the bridge. Um yeah again.
So yeah, so I wasn't being reckless broke, but you
did go above and beyond I did for your client.
I did. That's next level ship right there next level
there on the way. I do I do have a
