creeping ever so closer. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast. We're

(00:23):
trying to get to two hundred, and I just don't
I just don't want it to be a letdown, Brody.
That's why we really shouldn't be making a big deal
out of two hundred, because I don't know if we're
gonna offer anything special. So the guy who's making a
big deal out of two hundred is part of the opening, says,
we shouldn't make a big deal out of two hundred.
You just made a big deal out of it. I
don't have nothing planned. No, we got nothing planned to

(00:46):
anything from episode one either. I love the way people
are contacting us, the slices. We love you, but please
let's under promise and over deliver. You know, we don't
want we want to manage your expectations here. One guy said, Oh,
I can't wait. Maybe they'll do a retrospect, right, this
is like the major cable news channel or or a

(01:09):
TV show. We don't have personnel, we don't have staff.
I'm sitting in my basement exactly, washing washing, machine next year,
and you know, I'm in my apartment hanging out, and
you know I don't have a whole lot of time.
Here's what we did. Here's what Scary and I took
the all of the best things we've said, all of

(01:29):
the best rants, all of the best parodies, all of
the best questions at Scary has every We've taken everything,
and we've spaced them out evenly over a hundred previous
episodes exactly and with zero zero So you can and
follow Brooklyn boys quotes on Twitter. Yeah, yeah, you know,
be quotes, I think. But the thing is this though,

(01:52):
I mean, because he puts all the quotes in what
he feels are the best of and it puts a
time code. Someone suggested we we get together and we
we get edited down like little clips of the best
of our moments and make that part of two hundred.
But I don't have them. We don't have the manpower
to do that. We don't have a staff. Yeah. Now

(02:12):
you might be saying yourself, well, don't you guys both
edit audio and don't you guys absolutely? Yeah, But I'm
going to the Mohamas in about twelve hours, right, and
I'm going back upstairs. Yeah, we're off next week, The
Morning Show, the Big the Big Ship. Wait a second,
what I think you're supposed to count? You just counter
that with something big something I'm doing. I'm going back

(02:33):
upstairs to my all inclusive house. I've got a well
stocked refrigerator. All my drinks are included for the first
time in the history of The Big Show and and
my career. Yeah, I have the whole week. We're off,
the entire week. We never get the entire week, we
only get technically on vacation. Right now, This is vacation time.
Right now, we're cutting in. This is Friday, right they

(02:54):
had November. Yeah, And so I figured, you know what,
to commemorate my very first ever or time of getting
off the entire week of Thanksgiving, I'm gonna go to
the Bahamas for a couple of days and I'll be
back in time for Thanksgiving next week. So there nice.
I'll be honest. I have looked into, um possibly taking

(03:15):
just going away for a day of myself, a day
to day. Yeah, I may go up with my friend,
uh for a day day. I'll tell you why. Where
which is my My middle daughter is home from college
as of a couple hours from now, and I can't
very well be like, oh, I'm so glad you're home
from college. I'm going away. Why not she did it
to you all this time? Yeah, yeah, she I paid.

(03:37):
I paid for her to go away. Uh you know tuition. No,
I'm I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna know,
so I I said. I told her. I said, listen,
there's one night you're gonna go out with your friends whatever,
and I may go out. Did you set up some
quality time with your daughter? She comes home. Yeah, we're
gonna have dinner one night, like just just so like
I'm gonna I'm gonna go one night just with her

(03:59):
two of us. You guys can go out. Yeah, she
wants the steak din I'm taking for a stake dinner. Well,
I mean this fair stuff, but I haven't seen it.
I want to spend some time. So she said, well,
one night will at least one person is buying you,
buying me. I'm buying at least one person is getting
a free steak dinner here and that's her. Yeah, my
favorite thing. Last night, by the way, Scary calls me
last night's Thursday night and he says, you know, he

(04:21):
had some handsome, stressful things that he had some scheduling problems,
and we couldn't. We couldn't record Thursday. We're gonna, you know,
we record Wednesday. We couldn't record Wednesday because scaryead an appearance,
which we'll talk about later. I definitely want to talk
about that. So we moved it to Thursday. And then Thursday,
Scary calls me and says, like, dude, I'm not I can't.
I have all these things. And I said, that's fine,

(04:42):
we'll do it Friday. We're gonna do a Friday afternoon. No,
I'm going out. I have a thing. I'm doing something
with the Brooklyn Boys. So I said, we we are
the Brooklyn Boys. What are you talking about? And then
Scary reminded me the harsh slap in the face that
when he says the Brooklyn Boys, he means his friends
that he grew up with in Brooklyn were here first. Yes,
as you know, Scary and I grew up in the

(05:02):
same neighborhood, but not at the same time. We didn't
know each other prior to twenty years ago, a few
years apart in age, and we were I don't know,
we didn't know each other back then we're about ten
blocks apart in a very big neighborhood, and in our
neighbor to benson Hurst, Brooklyn two blocks is a city.
So I know these guys since I was twelve. In fact,
one guy I know since I was six. We were

(05:23):
in the same kindergarten together right through. So we I mean,
this long standard history goes. When you first said Brooklyn boys,
I was like, you're Brooklyn boys, right. And so he says, Oh,
we're going out for a dinner at such and such restaurant.
I said, okay, great. He goes, yeah, Ronnie's gonna be there.
I was like, oh, great, bull freak, ball freak. And
he says, oh, and Mike and Tony and Vinnie and

(05:45):
Gino and he's one on the list. Hey, listen, list
my name is on that list. I don't really care
who's going with. You said, that's a youth thing. Well,
the reason why, the reason why I wanted to tell
you the list was to make you less less wanting
to come along with us, because it sounded to me
at first you were like, oh, you guys going out

(06:05):
for a steak dinner. Oh you want a steakhouse? All right? Oh,
ball Freak is gonna be there. Oh oh yeah, okay,
um yeah. And then then I had was fine when
you got to like a little Pete, big Pete, that
was fine. But then when you got to guy I
met at seven eleven named Joe, I thought that was
a bit of much to be inviting him and not me.

(06:26):
What I'm trying to say was I was trying to
paint the picture of this group of people I'm going
out to dinner with, including ball Freak. You don't know
them all. You don't know any of them except for me,
and I would ever get to know them would be
to go to dinner, right, But we have old school
like inside jokes. I don't want it. Yeah, but that

(06:46):
was the reason why. But that's why I you wouldn't
want to go hang out with me when I got
my my uh my junior high school reunion people, So
that's what you met. But you opened this by saying
that I was going on in a list of people.
The reason why you went on and give you the
list of people to make you not want to come
because like, okay, you're right, this is how rude that sounds. No,

(07:09):
But because I wanted to illustrate to you to make
sure you wouldn't want to come. I wanted to illustrate
to you that that this is not your group, right.
I wanted to paint the nice picture for you, a
complete picture. I wanted you to come to your own
conclusion that you know what, Yeah, I don't want to
go to with them. It's there, it's their little click.
I mean, technically, there could be a day where you,

(07:30):
Ronnie and I go out to dinner as the uh
Elvis s r. And Morning Show Brooklyn boys. Yes, yeah,
I don't mind. That could happen, and then you know
who's gonna invite himself? The Jersey kid that he's not
from Brooklyn. All right, well maybe the three of us
will go out. We can actually figure that out if
you want. Greg. He also owes me a part of
the stake dinner conversation. So yeah, somehow he's got lost.

(07:51):
We don't talk about his anymore. We haven't talked about
his in five years. He owes you at dinner. Most
paranoid person ever. Yeah, I'll tell you what happened. So
a couple of weeks ago, we were in studio on
a Friday. On a Friday, Friday, right, And so I
texted him and I said, and that was the week
before you guys were going to Miami for the big wedding.

(08:13):
So I texted him because he's down the hall. I
hadn't seen him in a while. I said, Hey, t
I'm in studio today. Everybody's here. Why don't you come
down and say hello? So he texts back, ha ha,
very funny. So I texted him back and I said,
what are you talking about? Come come say hi, We've
got food. Comes hi. He says, I know you guys
are Miami. I'm not a dick. Stop it. So I said,

(08:35):
we're not Miami. Miami's next week. Okay, yeah right. So
he didn't come down even though we were there. So
I was in studio this week, Monday and Tuesday. On Monday,
I walked down to his his radio station down the hall,
and he wasn't there, and his producer informed me he
only comes in Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. He likes to
have long weekends. He doesn't come in on Mondays. And

(08:56):
Frida sign me up for that. Yeah, I bet you exactly.
So she says he'll be in tomorrow. It's okay, not
a problem. Not a problem. So she must have told
him that I was there. So he texts me and
he says, hey, man, what's wrong. Nothing's wrong. I came
down to Shi call me out of like this. Yeah. So,

(09:18):
so I said, I'm gonna be in tomorrow. Don't you
come say hi? No? Really, what's wrong? What are you
mad at me? I don't have your coat hooks? So
I said, I don't think because so he goes, you
come down check my office. I don't have him check
my office. See that the code hook thing was was
like a month ago. I don't think you have my
coat hooks. You actually have a cult rack in your office.
I don't. I'm not. I just wanted to say hi,
I haven't seen you. Oh okay, And then he didn't.

(09:42):
Then then he came down for the food. On Tuesday,
he snucked down with his sweatshirt pulled over his head
at the hood up and and and left. So I
text him, I go get in the studio. So he
came in, but it's so difficult to get him to participate.
He's so paranoid. He said, oh, what's wrong? He's got
he's got some drain damage. I didn't steal anything. Yeah,

(10:05):
so what's going on. I have a we gotta get
my buddy Brian on the phone at some point. Not
not not toilet Brian, jet skip Bryan because he is
a character and fall asleep on the toilet Brian. Now
not fall asleep on the toilet, Brian jet Ski. Bryan
is a character from Brooklyn. He's from sheep Said Bay
and he is a fucking riot. Well what we got

(10:29):
to talk to him at some point because he will
bring a lot to this podcast. Um. Yeah, So sheep
Said Bay is part of the southern part of Brooklyn
near Coney Island, so it's on the water, big fishing town,
so it's all fishing boats and seafood restaurants. In fact,
I lived and worked in sheep Said Bay for a
period of time. He got his jet ski business. He

(10:50):
started that in Sheep's at Bay. And then they're also
home of the roach beef wars between the Rolling Roaster
and Brennan and Carr getting very low, very sometimes I
like to get annuals. There's two places in that area
that are known for their roast beef and and we
so when I worked at one of them, we used
to play the other one in softball, and one of

(11:10):
them I worked at Rolling Roast doesn't manage system manager.
So there was such a rivalry that had to stop
having the softball games because we wanted to kill each other.
Was it that bad? Because inevitably like like yeah, well
you know you're you're up by a run, but your
roast beef sucks. It just get ugly and they're not
the same thing, like ones to sit down. One's a
fast food place that happens to have some tables, but

(11:31):
there's a rivalry there, but they can co exist. The
town is big enough for two roast beef joints. Please
have a God help anybody who opens up a third.
You know, thirds don't work normally. Usually it's one and
two mutable laws of marketing that I think we talked about.
We did, we did. You can't be third, right, So
if you want to be sprite, you've got to create

(11:52):
a new ladder and be first on that one. And
technically the mellow Yellow Mellow Yellow is not like a thing.
He's got sprighting seven up. Why would you go to
Meli yellows? You wouldn't sale. We've talked a lot about
this at this podcast. I feel like I actould go
into marketing if I if I ever leave radio, this

(12:13):
this gig doesn't work out for you. One of my
junior high school friends, his name is Ian. He's huge
in the marketing and advertising world. He's like he's a
president of companies. Every time he leaves a job to
get the job as a president of company, big big sixcess,
very successful, bright guy. I'm I've known him for my
you know, since junior high schools in seventh grade, and

(12:35):
I always make jokes with him, like I'll send him
like ideas for a product or something and he'll say,
I'm working on this big ad for such and such,
and I'll throw in I'll send him some stuff. I
always want to make sure I keep my foot in
the door in the creative marketing world, just in case
the creative radio world ends up, you know, ending someday. Yeah,
you never listen. You never know when you want to,

(12:56):
you know, you want to have connections, right, Oh, what's uh?
You know? Because I'll so I'm creative. I would, I would,
I would go I would stay in radio. Obviously, I
would go into television if this gig dries up, because
I like writing comedy. But I could do advertising and
marketing because I I've come up with slogans and marketing
campaigns previously for other things that have worked. Um. In fact,
I came up with the whole marketing campaign for NCL

(13:18):
Norwegian cruise line that they loved. They haven't used it yet,
but they love it. They love it. Yeah, And I
recently wrote a political commercial that I'm never going to
tell you about interest and tell you I did it.
I became very popular anyway that a company produced it
for me and they took credit and that was fine anyway.
So what would you fall back on if not radio industry?

(13:38):
What would you do? That's a big problem for me
right now. I don't have a plan. B and and
you know the truth is I live and breathe and radio,
and maybe I'll be a consultant for radio, but who knows.
I remember when I first started, so I was probably
working at the radio station for six eight months, maybe
up to a year, and I was so goofy excited.

(13:59):
Every time I got a song parody produced, or a
spoof commercial or a jingle, I would I would get
copies of everything. I would I would put I would
put stuff on cassettes and digital tapes and burn CDs,
and I would say to Scary, hey, man, what do
you have on your demo? I don't have a demo, dude,
you should put together a demo. I haven't had a
resume since I got my job in college with twenty

(14:20):
three years. I've repeatedly said to Scary, you know you,
that you should put that on your demo. Dem what if?
What if this morning show ends and you need to
find a job. What if what if I heart doesn't
let you back in the building. I can't think about
these things. I can't think about these things. Brodie, I know,
but you have to. I know. I guess we'll have
this podcast. I have these memories. I have these memories

(14:42):
with you. Yeah, well there you go. You know what?
Speaking of our podcast, Hold on a second, what big news? What? Okay? Well, well,
tickle tickling? Yeah, yeah, I'm tickling with the very proud,
proud some some news involving our podcast, which after this
it's the boys podcast. Teasing it I do stop my

(15:09):
wind up. I was teasing my heart to put us
on a clock we were supposed to break four minutes ago.
I'm just telling you listen, uh, speaking of my heart,
we got an email. Well, I sent out an email
to the to a corporate shot, big shot in the
heart podcasting world, and I said, hey, how come we're
running commercials for other podcasts on our podcast and a

(15:32):
lot of them aren't employees of I her radio. I
think you should be running our promos on other people's podcasts.
Down o the people's podcasts. And so that was before
the pandemic, right, And so during the pan when the
pandemic hit, he's today, we're putting a hold on some
stuff and we've gotta bring out, rejiggered some things and

(15:52):
figure to whatever. So when the pandemic, you know it's
you know, it's winding down. I'm not gonna say it's over,
but when people are getting back to normal, I emailed them.
I said, hey, remember we talked about that. Oh yeah, yeah.
So he said, well, if you got promos getting to me.
So we put together some promos and we sent them
and they're gonna be on as of next week. The
week of Thanksgiving, they start and you're running on national

(16:16):
podcasts around the country. That's what we're talking about. Let's
get to listen to other podcasts and hear one of
our commercials let us, let us know, let us know
if you if you find it, if you hear it. Um,
we're going global, Jerry Baby. So I'm actually excited because, um,
I'm doing Thanksgiving at my brother's house this year. I

(16:38):
don't know what you're doing for Thanksgiving, Brodie. Um, I'm
going to your mom's house. Oh, perfect, perfect, Yeah, it's
not gonna be anybody there because my mom will be
at my brother's house with me. That's why I'm going.
Just break in, break in, get all the pictures of
young Sky as a little bit. This is gonna be
an interesting one. And I'll and I'll tell you why
because I've for entire life, I was we always did Thanksgiving.

(17:03):
That was the one holiday we always did at my
parents house in Brooklyn. So I've gotten so comfortable over
the years that I you know, you know, over eat
and then just you yeah, always, and then fall asleep
on the on the lazy boy and we'll be watching
watching the Cowboys game or whatever whatever it was. I

(17:23):
would but but the point is I would get my
sleeping in and I would sleep and I would be
so good. They waked me up when it was dessert time.
So between dinner and dessert. Now that I'm going to
my brother's house with my sister in law, I gotta
be on my best behavior because her family is from Kentucky,
from the South, and they were all coming up. Your
brother married a Kentucky girl. Her family is southern. Now

(17:44):
she was born in New Jersey. But and and her
but her her mom's side of the family is from
the South. And know nothing wrong with it, but but
Brooklyn and Kentucky are not similar. So she's got all
my things. They are, but they're not the only thing
we have there is Kentucky fried chicken in Brooklyn. Yeah,

(18:06):
And so they're from the South, her her mother's side
of the family, and they're all gonna be visiting, which
is great because but at the same time, I'm not
going to be able to do my after dinner rituals
because first of all, I'll be in my in foreign soil,
which is my brother's house in New Jersey. Well, normally
you do have an appearance, you go and get paid. Well,

(18:26):
that was the other that was the other thing. Usually
I I do that, you know that that event that
I that takes me to Macy's. And we're not doing
that this year. That's off the table but night. But
beyond that, I'm now going to be amongst people I
don't know. So I have to be on on my ship, right,
I have to be like talkative, engaging. I've got to

(18:49):
actually do so the offensive about Southerners, now, I would
never do that. It's not about that, but it's more
about I just can't check out. I can't go lay
on a sofa like a big oath. I can't like
pay attention to the game and not the people. I
have to get to know some of the people in
the room. It would be rude if I didn't. And
not only that, I'm also going to be eating different

(19:12):
foods because they bring different side dishes to the table.
So I think a turkey a company that turkey is
gonna be a honey honey baked ham. And then beyond that,
we're having like these Southern dishes which I don't know
what they are. Yeah, I'll report back to you know hello, yeah, yeah, okay,

(19:33):
I'll listen to you. I think you're falling asleep and
you're lazy boy. I'm like, where'd you go? But listening
to you talk about your dinner? No, no, I you know, my, my, my,
larger point here is, um, I don't know what I'm
gonna do. Two A stay awake, be not be embarrassing,

(19:53):
and you know, blow up a bathroom or something, you know,
or see. It's just I like to be in the
comfort of my own home to dress down. You like
to be casual. Thanksgivings the holiday for me where I
could just let it all hang out. Wait a minute,
supplying the Williams Sonoma pre brian turkey, I am, I
am to your brother's house. Yes, it's it's that will
be accompanied by the honey baked ham and what other

(20:16):
these these southern dishes. What if these Kentuckians are the
type that like a pre shot turkey. Well that's a
great question. I don't know if they do or not.
I don't know. I'm gonna have to learn all new
traditions and things that they may do at the table,
you know. So so it's just gonna be a different Thanksgiving.
I'm looking forward to it. But this is like me,
you know, being out in public. I have to dress

(20:37):
up for this. I have to shave, I don't you know.
Usually I like to wear a crappy T shirt with
a hole in it. Some stains jeans that are just
you know, my comfy jeans. You know the deal. So
this is it's gonna be an interesting one. And and
my my nephew Jack is turning too. It's his birthday
on Thanksgiving, so we're gonna I gotta buy a you know,

(21:00):
show up with a present, bring him an Elmo cake,
you know that kind of thing. So what do you
doing for Thanksgiving? By the way, I just googled Kentucky
Thanksgiving and apparently Kentucky and eat turkey with their hands only.
That's weird to me. That's a joke. No, No, I
just googled it. Well, dude, I mean you should see

(21:22):
what I do to the bird. I'm I assault the
freaking bird when I'm done cutting it, when i'm carving it.
I carve because I carved the turkey in my house.
By the way, I don't even know if I'm gonna
be doing that this year. I don't know if I
have a carving The man of the house, isn't he
the carver? Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna I don't
think I'm gonna be carving the turkey. And not to
imply that your sister inlaw can't call the turkey because
she's a woman. I'm saying, but he's it's his house,

(21:42):
it's their house, but he's he's hosting it, right. So yeah,
so I may be off the hook on that too.
But if we're not making the turkey, right, I have
when I'm in the kitchen, I'm carving the turkey. After
I'm done. You know how you have the bird there
and then there's some meat leftover, and is you pick?
I pay, lick your fingers. Oh my god, it's so good.
I I rip part of the you know, the part

(22:05):
closest to the breast, off of the undercarriage, by the
dark meat, by the thigh, but what's left underneath. We're
talking about turkey, right, we're talking turkey. I love doing that.
To me, that's the most flavorful and best part of
the turkey. Do you put stuffing into turkey? No, we
don't do that. Oh you're insane. Oh that's disgusting. That's
salmonilla city. Oh you cook it long enough, it's great.

(22:26):
And then you get that turkey juice stuffing inside in
the ribs. Pull it out your fingers. That ship's dirty
in there. You shove stuffing into the cavity of the
It's called stuffing because you stuff it in. Listen, I
think we're on this. I know a lot of slices
do that, but that's not me and my family. We
don't do that. We stuffed the turkey cavity with sweet

(22:50):
smelling things, with apples oranges and beat them rosemary celery,
no onion celery. We shove us salary in my turkey.
We shove things in there that that will make it
smell nice and a little aromatic, little fragrant for a bathroom.
Body works turkey. I don't care what it smells like.

(23:10):
You light a candle inside of it, noly sh it,
it's not a lantern. And then by no, no, no, no, no,
you've got it all wrong. You throw pot pourri in there.
That's wrong with you. And then you you put you
take this cheese cloth, but you put oh, you take
the skin, and you put butter under the skin. You
and then you put a cheese clush cloth over that.
There's a whole way to keep it nice and juice.

(23:32):
Realizing this poor turkey, no juicy and moist turkeys. That's
what we serve. And now you, on the other hand,
what's your stuffing. Half of it's gonna be burnt. Half
it's gonna be no, not at all. Like all the
juices in the turkey, the outside gets crispy and the
inside gets moist. Mustastic, No, not mush juicy, I just saturated.

(23:53):
There's something about fantastic. The stuffing that went inside the bird.
It's just not my thing. I don't know. But what
I've seen, the way you eat, that's where you draw
the line. You I mean you, you, you. There's not
a food that's come up to the radio station. You
haven't gone off of some of that. And and you
won't eat stuffing in the turkey. The our generations upon

(24:18):
generations of Americans have been putting stuffing into turkey. But
you're gonna be different. You're gonna do But for as
many people that do that, there are a lot of
people that do it my way. And then that is
stuffing outside the first tradition. I get that. I'm a traditionalist.
I want stuffing. I don't want I'm not a I'm
not a corned beef with peppers and onions and all kinds.

(24:39):
I give me bread. Stuffing, that's it. Read stuffing, stuffing,
that's it. I don't want. I don't want sausage stuff already,
and well maybe, ah, there you go. I give you
a sausage sausage. I'll tell you what ground beef. You
don't want to ground beef in your stuff. I'll tell
you what I am doing for Thanksgiving for me personally now.
Every year for Thanksgiving the radio show, our friends at

(25:02):
Carmines and Virgils, not a sponsor, send up food for us.
They usually do like a special Thanksgiving catering, and Carmines
does a traditional They do turkey and sweet potatoes and
cran bread stuffing and um and sausage stuffing and there's
like eight things you can like. You can get a
pre course like a pre pre made meal, take it

(25:23):
home or eat it there. And then Virgil's Barbecue, which
is up the block, they do a smoke turkey, so
the same sides, but a smoked turkey, which I like
on occasion, but I think I prefer the non smoked
for Thanksgiving if I'm thinking traditional turkey exactly so, because
we're not doing it in studio, I called our buddy
Glenn up and I see, Glenn, can I buy a

(25:46):
little dinner for to action of the stuff I like
like not. I don't need the full I don't want
I don't want string being cast I don't want Brussels
sprouts with bacon. I don't whatever that is. I don't care,
I said, Can I just get like the stuff? I
like the Dave Rody stuff you canna you with the
David the sweet potatoes stuffing that you know, the non
green stuff. He said, absolutely. So I'm going in Tuesday

(26:08):
to the city, I think to pick up my specially
prepared David Brodie Thanksgiving meal that I will eat Wednesday
pre Thanksgiving. How about we're not going to share that
with anybody. I got it for two if anybody in
my family wants it. My wife doesn't eat turkey, not
a fan of the turkey. My kids aren't either. They
would rather have steak, the big steak fan for Thanksgiving.

(26:33):
We've made turkey and then we'll make steak. You know,
some some some people. Can you imagine that having venison
on Thanksgiving? Listen, you do what you want. I'm not judging.
There are some place in the Midwest people do it.
This probably places more in the South that do it,
or you know, it's it's not a New York City thing,
but it's definitely an American thing. You know, you eat

(26:55):
what you eat, you eat whatever's around. If you live
in a deer populated area, you know, the deer ends
up on the table. What are gonna do now? In
my area, we have deer roaming around and we have turkey.
What I don't understand. I live in a in a
popular populated town in New Jersey. It's not like I
live in the sticks. But everywhere every year, and I

(27:19):
don't know if they're running away from somebody or they escaped,
but every year around Thanksgiving, I feel like we're by
the campfire, gather around kids. There's a pack of turkeys
that walks down the street. I don't know if it's
to say, come and get us your bitches, or look
at us. We're not in the supermarket. Do you think
that they're grandstanding? They're hot dogging? Yeah, because I don't

(27:42):
think you're allowed to shoot turkeys in my in my
my my part in New Jersey. I don't you know
the Staten Island area which New York City. A couple
year they are infested. There is today too. I see
people's posting video currently on Instagram, there's a lot of turkey,
turkeys and Staten Island. The problem is those you don't
You un't you are what you eat you really wanna

(28:03):
You want to shoot a wild turkey from Staten Island
and you know it's been walking around pecking at the
fucking disgusting garbage and muck all over the floors, and
serve that for Thanksgiving? Would you do eat lobster? Yeah?
Do you know what they eat? So move on their
bottom feeders. They eat the bottom of the ocean, right,

(28:25):
which is right, which is one of the reasons why
it's not kosher. Jewish people thousands of years ago decided
that was bad, don't eat the bottom feeders. But with turkeys,
I don't know. For some reason, it just seems more disgusting.
While you shoot hunters don't hunt deer from like a farm.
They don't. They don't go to like a petting zoo
and shoot deer. Right. But while deer they eat, we're

(28:47):
they eating eating grass and other animals poop. But I
just feel like the turkeys on stand Island are just
pecking around eating garbage. If deer don't eat poop and
the vegetarians that you don't tell me that there I
think they're herbivores. They only eat Yeah, I believe so,
I don't. But but turkeys are doing the same thing.
But they're picking it like really gross things. And you
know so I wouldn't. I wouldn't chance it. Would you

(29:12):
rather eat a Staten Island turkey or stuffing from inside
the bird? Stuffing from inside the Did I tell you
about the email that one of our top sales guys
sent out. He phrased it wrong and got everyone excited.

(29:32):
So you tell me based on I'm reading this now right,
I'm gonna read take word for word what he wrote,
and you tell me who, Well, how many people have
access to tickets to this Broadway show ready for their
For their big reopening, they have offered up two pairs
for everyone on the show that would like to go. Oh,

(29:54):
all that means anybody who wants to go gets two pairs.
Read that again, Read that again. For the reopening, they
have offered up two pairs for anyone on the show
that would like to go. Yeah, that means that means
if you want to go, here's two you can have
four tickets. Right now. That's four tickets for everybody. So

(30:16):
I wrote back, I'll take it I'll take two pair,
and he wrote back, they're already gone. Well, how can
they be gone? You just everyone on the show. He says, No,
Danielle took the two pair. What do you mean the
two pair? So what he meant was they've offered up
a total of two pair and anyone else that's poorly

(30:37):
Where who wrote that? Why? You know one of our
sales guys, you know he wrote it or did somebody
else wrote He wrote it was from his email and
he probably did it really fast. He yeah, he didn't mean,
he didn't mean any harm. But I was like, what
are you talking about? You wrote they have offered up
to pair for anyone? Oh my god. But he meant
two pair for anyone who wants it. So I didn't

(30:59):
feel I had to rush. I was go, I'm gonna
I'm gonna take a shower and get some lunch and
then I'll email them. I was like, yeah, cut me in.
So this massive Broadway show, their massive reopening on Broadway,
contacts the biggest morning show, one of them in New York, right,
it says, you know you have eleven people on the show.

(31:24):
The whole point of sending radio people to your show
is so that they'll do social media, they'll talk about
on the radio. Right, don't you want as many people
to go as possible? At least you want like six pair,
five pair. No, Look, it's very nice for them to
provide a pair. The theaters aren't huge. I get that,
But the wording I was like all excited, like, Hey,

(31:45):
we're all gonna go. This is great, fantastic. No, no,
you're not going you think that that would get my
hopes up? Now I got excited. I was about to say,
now you're gonna try and call pull some broad bullshit
on him and be like, no, I read that's what
that's what it says. No free dessert. I can't do

(32:07):
that for the not to the radio station. Hey, I
talked up last week about the button my Calvin Klein
button on my jeans, on my cap jeans, and I
want to work and I you made a very very
poor analogy too well about your floor mats. Yeah, because
you're talking about you know, A versus a fucking said Yeah,

(32:28):
I get that. I get that. So I did want
to give a shout out to someone who wrote, UM,
let me see if I could find his his Twitter. So, uh,
I went into um, to work wearing those jeans. I
finally put them on, and I said, you know what,
I'm gonna wear them. What the hell I'll see if
you know, Elvis maybe wants to make a topic out

(32:49):
of it. He did not. He said, Brody, you're weird.
I didn't want to do a topic out of it. However,
Amber Nichols at Nightmarrow M A. R Oh tweeted at
me and you and said, I wouldn't ever be able
to wear those gap jeans with the Calvin Climb button again. Heck,
I can't even wear my victorious secret underwear with my

(33:11):
pink bra. And they're literally the same brand meaning pink,
meaning they're they're sub label pink, just separate divisions. I
can't do it. That's scary. Jones is neurotic, so uh,
Amber out neurotic to me. But did I mention to
you about where my my jeans were on the big rack?

(33:31):
Did I talk about that? No? You didn't. Were they?
So you know that every dry cleaner, almost every dry
cleaner has them. It's that big conveyor belt thing where
they hang them in numerical order, so they break them
down by tens and then they put yours in like
two hundred and eleven would be in the two slot
in the first one, right, so they can say they

(33:53):
easily find everything. So they pushed the button and it
goes around and goes up a little higher, and around
and and down. How have you ever ever walked in
to a dry cleaners and your clothing was right there? Never? Never, no,
it was. It's always like in the back. So you
have to wait for the thing to do a full
circular motion. And it's going right here. Okay, So you

(34:17):
know they're all numbered, right, So I give the guy
and we've all done this, we've all done this. I
give the guy my ticket, it has the number on it.
He sees it's jeans and what else the give in
the pair of jeans? I don't know. Let's just say
it was it was a shirt to dry clean Okay,
it was jeans at a shirt. I don't remember what
the item was, but let's say it was. So he

(34:37):
knows it's jeans and a and a shirt. Okay, as
it's coming, I see it coming, I say to him,
there it is. Do you think he fucking needs me
to tell him where it is? Probably not? He's and
the clothing is in numerical order. But for some reason,

(34:59):
we've all done it. You did it, and then you
felt foolish for telling him that, right, because uh, he
probably gets that all the time and he probably rolls
his eye, rolling in his head like, okay, another one
of these idiots. Now forgive me. I don't remember what
comedian it was, so if you remember that, you want
to tweet me, that's fine. But it was last week

(35:19):
and it reminded me of the incident at the dry cleaners.
He was talking about going to Chippotle and saying, when
we all do this too, we go to Chippotle and
we pointed the thing we want, I'll have that of
the corn, and you point to it as if the
guy doesn't know where the corn is. He knows where
the corn is. You're like, I'll have the pork and

(35:40):
you point to it. Of the cheese, you point to it. Yeah,
pretty much, right, So I I don't next time you
going to dry cleaners, don't tell him like, there's my coat,
I say, he knows where. He's gonna stop on the
two tens and get you and get it. Even even
if he's off by a little, he can out down

(36:00):
to ten. They're all labeled, So I just felt like
I could see the look he sort of he didn't
look at me. He turned away and looked towards the
back of the place. That's how he made his face.
I know that we used to do that Starbucks when
I when I was a manager at Starbucks, I would
actually train my staff. You know, they have the counter.
It's like waist high when you go there. So back

(36:21):
in the day when I worked at Starbucks, not only
did we have the counter where you take the drink order,
the register, and the counter where you put your your
your your order up, but we used to have a
long counter where all the beans were in drawers and
you would choose which of the thirty types of beans
from around the world you wanted, and you would buy
a quarter pound, a half pound, of full pound, and

(36:43):
you would tell us what type of machine you had
and how you wanted it ground, a drip, a French press,
a percolator, and so it's time for the percolator. So
they don't do that anymore. They it's pre bagged, right,
you don't you don't get to pick out one of
thirty coffees. Right. But if people were stupid, and they

(37:04):
often wore, especially back in the early nineties when people
didn't understand Starbucks because I worked there when it was
new to New York. I would I would tell people like,
there were drawers at your like your thigh level, bend
down to get stuff out of the drawers, and make
all the faces you want, but when you pop back up,
make sure you have a smile on your face. And

(37:26):
so I would constantly see my employees bending down, opening drawers,
tying your shoelaces and making faces like a motifucker. Okay,
let's let's explain the French press again, because you couldn't
make like a sour puss face. I think the dry
cleaning guy did the same thing to me. I think
he turned around as if he was looking in the

(37:48):
back so he could make the face like this fucking
guy thinks I can't find his fucking jeans on a
conferyr belt that's numbered, so it's so scared. This is
where you go, Dude, be careful. He could spit in
your well. I don't think you could do anything to them.
M not that, because I've seen it. Yeah. Hey, we
were talking earlier about the fact that you made a

(38:10):
surprise well we didn't say what you did. But I
was doing it appearance the other night and I thought
it was really cool. I wanted to point out the slices.
I did this on the Big Show. But we give
you accolades right now. David Brody not being paid for
his appearance at as I've often done before, But you
just Brody just shows up to Calandres where we're we're
we're because we were giving out jingle ball tickets. We

(38:31):
had a nice captive audience. Shout out to Shady Jew
Mobster and his entire family. Shad Jew came out to support.
He was wearing his old Brooklyn Boy shirt with the
original six color logo with the circle around one yeah.
And then Scary said he was going to be there
from six to eight on Wednesday. I originally was going

(38:53):
to record my Walkers and Torcos podcast at seven o'clock,
but I I we bumped it a little bit later.
We bumped it to seventh. So you put on some
pants and you drove down the road and you come
came to hang out with me. Well, I didn't drive
down the road. It's it's fifteen minutes away. But well
you did. With the point is you made the effort,

(39:15):
whether the effort because I was already out. I was out.
I dropped my daughter off somewhere and I was rushing
home to do the podcast, and my co host said,
you know what, can we back it up until seven thirty?
And I said, yeah, not a problem. So then I
thought to myself, go stop popping on Scary. So I
walk in and there this place, Calandras, has multiple locations,
but the particular one not a sponsor of mine, but

(39:37):
I've eaten dinner there many times. They have a full
blown bakery set. So it's a lot, it's like a
it looks like a strip mall on its own. It's
a giant location and they have so you go in
and so to the right is a giant bakery that
they have prepared foods. On the left is a giant
dining room and in the middle is a smaller bar
type room with dinner tables. You can eat in there,

(40:00):
and his TVs and a bar. And it's a little
more intimate, a little more casual. Rather it's it's closed.
And so Scary was hosting this event where you can
win jingle ball tickets. So when I walked in, he
was at the bar talking to a couple and I
walked up next to him and I just stood there
and he's a good time. I was. I was shocked
that you walked. I turned around and there he makes
a left. He looks to the left and sees me, goes,

(40:21):
oh hey, goes back to talking to the people, and
it doesn't double take ghost. He's very surprised to see me,
so I said, oh, shady jew mobsters here. So when
he said I walked up, he's got his back to me.
He's eating dinner, and I I slapped him in the
back of the head. He got up. I figured he's

(40:45):
not going to get upset with me, so he gotta goes,
Oh my god, I brought he's here. So we had
a nice time, a nice time getting him and his family.
Although I have I have, I have to call somebody
out I do. I tell me, tell me how you
feel about this scary I met his lovely wife, Meredith,
and his little boy, and she says, oh, we've been
listening to your show for five years. We love you guys.

(41:07):
You know what we listened since you guys started. Oh
we're big fans. At very nice. At no point did
she say she was a fan of the Brooklyn Boys.
But she said she loved the water He Show and
she loves which is fine. He's a super fan, shady Juice.
Here is the problem. Here's the problem. So we took
pictures with the family, very lovely family. It was a

(41:29):
pleasure meeting them. It was no, no, no, no, nothing
bad to say about them. And they put the picture
up and they tagged me, and his wife commented, so
great to meet you guys. And I clicked on her
profile and guess what, but she does not follow me
on Instagram. Oh no, I'm very hurt. She's maybe a
Brooklyn she's maybe a fan of the Big Show, but

(41:50):
now the fan of the Brooklyn Boys. Now, that's exactly
what I wanted to point out. So what the people
at Calandras didn't know was that I showed up with
trunk full of Brooklyn Boys merchandise I have. I had
sweatshirts of the pizza slice, you know, the Slice for Life.
I've sweatshirts for me, you know, from our items from

(42:12):
our merch store. I had had the brand new I
had ornaments. I had Christmas ornaments with me. I had
I had Brooklyn Boys beanies. The were the new items,
so I left them in my trunk because I'm about
to bring them out with me. They're like, wait a second,
let me just leave my trunk. Let me see what
kind of crowd this is. And obviously they wanted to
win jingle Ball tickets for Z one hundred New York,

(42:32):
the radio station that I was representing, and I'm of course,
I do my stick and you know whatever we're talking
talking got on the m I C and at one
point during the ninth there was a bit of a
wall and I'm like, this is the time that I'm
gonna unleash. I'm gonna go back to my car and
unleash the Brooklyn Boys merch. But let's just see. So
I said, hey, out there, you know who who here? Who?

(42:54):
He listens to the Brooklyn Boys? Dead silence? Who see Shady?
Jew was like yeah, And I'm like, no Brooken Boys
podcast fans out there, and and it was again it
was a little weird, and I'm like, I heard a
couple of you know, usually because I was like, you know,
makes a noise. I heard a whoo hoo, no id

(43:17):
what whoo hoo? I heard a yeah. I'm like, you know,
And then I sat there like, oh, well, when that happened,
did Meredith yell at anything? Okay? In fact, Meredith was
into my majority the people who did not say a word.
So in my mind, I'm thinking like, Okay, I'm guess
I'm not gonna walk over to my car and get
the fucking Brooken Boys merch shot because I was about

(43:38):
to me like if I would have gotten the response
I was anticipating, I was gonna and they don't know this.
Nobody knows us until right now. I'm letting the slices know.
I was about to just literally, Brody, I had a
ship ton of stuff I was gonna give away. I
had one of a kind things that aren't even the
merch store, you know, some of the test item stuff
that we got. I was ready to blow it all out,

(44:01):
and I'm like, I had nobody here. You realize the
stuff that you have in your car, I pay for
half of it, right, Well, yeah, so you don't get
to throw out Alan merchandise at you're app here and
do that. Well the larger point here again once again,
another larger point moment. Uh yeah, Brodie, Well I didn't

(44:21):
know that, so I don't tell you. Then when I
was there for like fifteen minutes. We took pictures and everything. Well,
I thought there was gonna be a good time. Into
the mic and he goes, oh, I got a special surprise.
My co host David Brody from The Brooklyn Boys is here.
And we hear the same thing like yeah who and
then and and then a shitty jew bobster jumps up

(44:41):
like yeah right, so I know is I know his
real name now? And I still but I'll say it anyway,
Um did not give away any Brooken Boys merch. That
went over like a lead blown. So yeah, maybe in
a future appearance where there's a lot of slices, a

(45:01):
high concentration of slices, maybe I will whip out the
Brooklyn Boys merch that I left in my trunk. It's
still there to this day. Yeah, scared. Do you remember
a few episodes ago I talked about talk shows and
game shows, the people that yell out from the audience

(45:24):
what they think you should do this, box five, box five,
like it matters, like right, prices right? They do do
that all the time. The audience is screaming. They all
yell out prices right, you know, why why don't you win?
And come on down and you get to yell out.
But it's the people that like they have to count

(45:44):
the money three D five Okay, that's fine. They probably
tell him to do that. But Jimmy Fallon often plays
games that involve numbers. They do charades, right, we have
to like pick a number off like this tower of numbers,
and and like you pick number seven, then he'll read
seven fish gerades. So Jimmy will always go, I went
number shod I pick an audience yells out numbers. I

(46:05):
still again. I started figuring out why anyone would care whatnot,
Like it doesn't mean anything. They're just numbers, right that
you have no idea which ones are good clues. You're
just yelling out numbers, yelling out something random. So he
and so he plays a game called lie to Me.
There's these giant boxes on like a rack, like it's
three on the top, three in the middle. It's like, no,

(46:27):
I think there's nine, ten boxes whatever it is, and
the you and the select He and the celebrities sit
on opposite sides of a table with a wall between
them with a cutout so they can only see their faces.
They can't see the other person's table and they pick
a box at random, and they open it up and
usually some crazy thing in the box, and you have

(46:47):
to describe it to the other person or lie and
describe something that isn't in the box, and they have
to decide if they think you're telling the truth are lying.
Taylor Swift was not very good at lying. She wasn't.
But that being said, you know Taylor's favorite number is thirteen. Yes,
so there is no box thirteen. But here's what she did.
When Jimmy says, I go pick a box, the audience

(47:10):
starts yelling numbers. She goes right to box one. She
didn't ask anybody's opinion. She wanted box one. So then
Jimmy picks his box and he looks back to the
audience and they're all telling what box to pick right.
Then it's her turn to pick it out the box.
What box do you think? She picked two? What number?
Just right? So what box? Did she pick? One? One

(47:32):
and three? Right box? So she completely ignored the audience.
She wanted box three because thirteen is important to her.
I give her major props. She knew what she wanted,
she got what she wanted, and she wasn't gonna play
the audience game. This is the three people yelling numbers.
You can't make everybody happy anyway. It's the first time

(47:53):
I've ever seen the celebrity just go fuck it. I
want one and three yourself. I don't care what the
audience has to say right now, Look Tailor. You know
I'm a big I'm a swifty Legitimately, I'm a big
fan of tails person and as a musician, I've had her.
I've had her take pictures at my desk at work.
I've had to take pictures with my kids a few times.

(48:14):
I'm a fan. Bit twist, I go, I've seen him
in concert many times. But I got a caller out
on something. So she opens the box, the second box,
and there's a joke book, a book that's not real,
and it's it's Tales from the Golden Arches, right, and
it's a book by Grimace, you know, the purple Purple

(48:35):
Monster for McDonald's right. So she's not lying, she's legitimately
describing the book. And she says to Jimmy, uh, there's
a book here, and it says Tales from the Golden Arches,
which is very specific if you're not good at improv. Obviously,
you're reading what's there and there's a fuzzy thing on

(48:57):
the cover, and it just says, I don't know, I
don't know what this is. Grimace. I don't know what
that is. So that he says, you're you're telling the truth,
and she is, and he says it's Grimace. She's like,
I don't know what. She doesn't know. She says she's
a no Grimace because it's not her time. I mean,
jen Xers and above and and and boomers know who grimaces.

(49:17):
But by the time millennials came around, they phased out
all those characters. You were lucky to know who Ronald
McDonald was. Isn't that a little bit part of pop culture?
It's not especially the secondary in tertiary characters like Hamburglar,
the Hamburglar, Nah, the fucking early Bird. What are those
three pom pom fucking things? Guys. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no,

(49:41):
they that's the right there. That's a generation of Generation gap.
Don't be don't be upset with her. I just would
have thought her life on social media. She would have
seen a thrownback video, not a shot. Remember the time
I dressed as Frankinberry for Halloween and that would overtake.
They thought it was Pinky in the brain. No, no good, Yeah,

(50:01):
you stressed as a Rick from Rick and Morty. Well no,
that's it. No, people know. The kids knew who that was.
I know, they thought you were they, But the older
people thought you were Christopher Lloyd from Back to the
Future Albert Einstein. But when I went to the dude.
But I when I went to that party on Sunday night,
everyone knew who I was because it was a younger demo.
You have to play to your demo, and and and unfortunately,

(50:23):
I mean the people listening to this podcast, like, how
the fund did you not know Grimace? I'm with you, Brodie, Well,
how old are you that you're listening right now? If
you're if you're thirty years old and under, you're not
really expected to know who Grimace is, you know. But
if you're forty and over, you know, the mid thirties
are a kind of a gray area. But if you're
over forty, you're a gen xer. You as fucking lutely

(50:45):
know who the Purple Monster Grimmas is, and the and
and and the Hamburgler. You just, um, this is aren't jokes.
I'm being real that's that's just life. I mean, I
studied this stuff, believe it. I could not believe. I
thought Grimace was global. I knew Grimace is the kind
of thing you pay if if I saw that, I'd
be like, there's no shot she knows who that fucking
purple monster is because they haven't had those commercials were

(51:06):
in the eighties and maybe Early Night and maybe this
is a stretch. Four or five years ago, during the
presidential election, a lot of people were posting videos of
Donald Trump from eighties TV commercial where he's in the
McDonald's commercial with Grimace. Oh, and I thought, again, you

(51:31):
would have seen him in the commercial with Grimace. Right well,
I'm gonna I'm gonna like blow your mind right now
down gen Z, which is like twenty five and under.
If you show them the clown, they may not know
that his name is Ronald McDonald. They might not who
that know who that is? Um My kids and your kids, well,
your kids are more educated in a But he sits

(51:54):
out on a bench in front of McDonald's. He's on
commer I listen, my kids don't watch broadcast telling Ronald
McDonald hasn't been part of the McDonald's campaign or commercials
or marketing in years let alone. Well, the Ronald McDonald
house still exists. But they don't know. They don't know

(52:14):
because they they decided like ten years ago that clowns
scare people and it's a creepy thing. And they don't
have him part of anything. The Ronald McDonald's thing with
his face. You can't find that anywhere for for for
years now, for years, he's still sitting on the bench
in front of something he's not Maybe time. If you

(52:35):
have an old McDonald's that have been there since had
a farm, right, if you're old McDonald's that that's been
there for like twenty thirty years, they haven't hasn't changed
or gone undergone a facelift. Yeah, they they that might
be there for nostalgic purposes, but no way, man, No,
Look at have you been into McDonald's recently. It looks

(52:55):
like you're you're in like a Chipotle or Starbucks. I
I know that they've they've redone it. I No, I
don't go into McDonald's right off. Everything is supermodern in
their touch screen everything. I think I went into a
McDonald's after Yeah, to use the bathroom. Yeah, my daughter
needed the bathroom. So we stopped McDonald's. But other than
I don't I don't need mcald story. You know, I
don't need Mcdonald's've talked about this. They don't have fines

(53:17):
catch up, they have fancy catching fancy. Hey, listen, we
have some sound here that I'm pulling up the sound
banks pieces. I think we should get to some of
that you wanna get today. You're not gonna hit the
commercial jingle while I tell you lit place sounds. We'll
do that. That will take a quick commercial break. But
all right, because I got a lot of stuff today,
I'm ready to go. Sound. What do you got? I got?
I got three peas? Okay? Well is it really okay?

(53:43):
So you're guilty of it as well. So there's a
tragic story, possibly tragic story right now of a very
famous Chinese and I say Chinese, I mean she's from China,
Chinese tennis player. So she she she called out sexual
harassment on a very powerful person in in China. Now,

(54:04):
you know, China doesn't always have the same they don't
have the same freedoms we have here. And there's a
concern she may have disappeared because she criticized a powerful
people so her name is spelled p e n g
and her last name is spelled as hu a ai ye.

(54:26):
And so you know when you when you design your house, um,
according to Chinese symbolism, function to provide forgive me if
I'm a little loft, but it's proper energy and proper placement,
and you want to have things put in stone areas.
This it's it's gotta go look it up anyway. The

(54:48):
woman's name is not pronounced Functui. My bad. I didn't
know that. So right, So this is this is now
a major newscaster on a major cable news Play the
clip it's been nearly three weeks and then that's penge.

(55:10):
Oh then I'm sorry, Uh yeah, play pengay one. She
says that how it's supposed to be. It's been nearly
three weeks, and the mystery is only getting deeper around
Pung sway her well being. Pung is that the correct way? Yes,
pung sway? Okay, that's right, all right, now play the

(55:31):
clip of the woman who number two is the story, Yeah,
the biggest stars in tennis. Adding to mounting outrage against
Chinese officials, where is beeng Shui the latest missing Chinese athlete. Whoops, yep, pengway,
she clearly fell into the feng shui category. We did again,
I know you did, but you're not. So here's what

(55:52):
I'm gonna say it again, especially with the name, Well,
you're not sure how to pronounce it. The teleprompter should
spell it phonetic you it's ridiculous. In fact, I'll give
another example. I don't have the audio three. Well three
was just an edited versions. You could hear say it again.

(56:13):
Somebody produced a commercial that ran on our morning show
for a movie coming out by Lin Manuel Miranda. Oh
my god, I heard this. I heard this. This is
someone who has been voicing commercials for forty years. Let's
get him on the phone right now. When he read
the spot, he said, produced by Lynn Manuel Miranda. Now

(56:35):
it's spelled Manuel or Manuel manual, but it's it's You
shouldn't assume with names that people that are going to
read the copy. But Spanish is usually Manuel. But but
even you know, they could have written Manuel M E
N W E L L. Because it's not going on
a screen anywhere. It's only being read into a microphone,

(56:58):
so no one's gonna see it. So spell it purpose purposefully.
Spell it wrong. M A n W E l L.
Spell it that way so the person can read it read.
I'm only partially blaming the guy who did it, because
he should have known better. But I'm blaming the people
who gave him the script stopped leaving it up the chance.
If the woman's name is punk Shu, I spell it

(57:21):
p o n g pong. Don't spell it p e
n g. No one cares how teleprompter. I'm not seeing
it exactly. We got the Raiders fans, all the Raiders, Okay.
I think it was Thursday Night Football or Sunday Night.
It was the pre show. And Drew Brees, retired New

(57:42):
Orleans Saints quarterback, used to play for the San Diego
Chargers at the beginning of his career. And a little
little known fact here for you. The Chargers had the
number one draft pick one year and Michael Vick was
gonna be the number one pick. They traded the number
one pick to Atlanta, who drafted Vic second, and the Chargers, well,

(58:06):
I'm sorry they drafted him number one. The Chargers traded down.
They drafted La Dainian Tomlinson, who's a Hall of Fame
running back, and in the second round took Drew Brees,
who's a Hall of Fame quarterback. They got two Hall
of famers in trading from Mike Vick, who will not
be going to the Hall of Fame. So it ended
up very well for the Sandy Go Chargers. But I'm
telling you that because people like Drew Brees didn't play

(58:27):
with the Chargers. Yeah he did. Then he heard his
arm and they didn't think he was gonna have a comeback,
so they drafted Philip Rivers and traded him to the Saints.
But when he played for the Chargers, if you were
hibout football, you know anything about football. The Chargers and
the formerly Oakland Raiders had a huge divisional rivalry right
playing the same division in California, the a f C West.

(58:49):
They hated each other. So they're doing a little, I
don't know, two minute piece on. There's a TV show
coming out talking about the black Hole. The black Hole
was the end zone in Oakland where the Raider fans
would wear the armor and uh, the silver paint and
look like something out of Mad Max like Warriors, like
crazy like and those the craziest fans were there in

(59:11):
the black craziest fans. So they're talking about So Drew
Brees at this clip is talking about how he handed
the bowl off to Ladanian Tomlinson, who scored a touchdown
I think to win the game. But it was in
the end zone where the crazy Raiders fans were and
he talks about what they did, the fans did to
the players, and then listen to the other guy talk

(59:32):
about the fans celebrating there in the end zone and
the black hole. They don't like that. Hey, gonna start
off with maybe topcorn and tey nuts, and then it
was beer, and then it was batteries. Black put your
helmet on the batteries and ends. That was the old

(59:54):
black hole there. Legendary, Yeah, definitely legendary. Great fan base there. Okay,
so if you can make out what he said, a
great fan base. Touchdown, Yeah, they threw popcorn at us
and beer, but they started throwing batteries at us and
we were getting welts on our bodies. They were throwing
batteries at us. Yea. And the guy's response was, yeah,

(01:00:15):
great fans. Yeah, they're great fans. Yeah. So we're celebrating
there in the end zone and the black hole. They
don't like that. Are you gonna start off, the maybe
popcorn and keey nuts, and then it was beer and
then it was batteries. Don't like put your helmet on,
take off the shiner there. Yeah, definitely, and that ends on.

(01:00:37):
That was the old black hole there. Legend Yeah, definitely
is legendary. Great fan base there, great fan base there. Well,
he meant it, he meant I can kind of see
his point. They're so fanatical about the home team. It's
a great fan base for the home team for the Raiders. Said, well,
they're fanatical, they love their team, but they're not great

(01:00:57):
fan You don't throw batteries, you can't. You can't reward them. Well,
that's a great fan base right there, because they're so
loyal they throw batteries and the other team. Yeah, that's
pretty chitty. That's the same thing in Philly. But I
heard they did the Eagles. But the teams that are
that are you know, I've been told when the fans

(01:01:22):
down they get rowdy. They were. Actually the survey just
came out and was it the Eagles that were the Yeah,
the Eagles were amongst the rowdiest fans. The Raiders fans
are and they moved to Las Vegas, so a lot
of their fans aren't feeling it's could be, could be wrong.
Maybe the Eagles, Oh no, I've been to Eagle my
brother in laws from South Jersey, so he had season tickets.
So we us got Eagles games all the time. And

(01:01:45):
it's it's ugly in a fun way. If you're there
for the Eagles, it's great. If you're if you, God forbid,
were like a Cowboys Jersey, You're not getting out of
their life. You're getting out of there. Just downright stupid.
And now I got finally, I got, I got one more,
and I know what this is all about. I see it.
I see the letters s D. Yeah, okay, if you

(01:02:05):
didn't see Saturday Night Weekend, Pete Davidson was playing. They
were doing a skit about Saturday in a sesame street
because Big Bird got vaccinated and people complained whatever. They
were doing a sketch making fun of it, right, and
so they had Joe Rogan on because he's involved in

(01:02:25):
the vaccinations, but it was it was Pete Davidson dressed
as Joe Rogan. Now, Joe Rogan earlier in the week
was saying he has a large enough penis he's able
to do the thing we always joke with Scary about
and so when you're seeing your own okay, that's well,
that's what, that's what, that's what we We have an

(01:02:45):
episode titled that with the Brooklyn Boys. I know, I know,
but I didn't want to give away the joke. But
you can, okay. So you know how sesame streets like
today's episodes brought to you by the letter M and
the number seven. It's all random. They're not really sponsors.
But Scary would be like M M, and I'd have
to hit the jingle on him because he'd be mentioned
with sponsors. So so Pete Davidson as Joe Rogan says

(01:03:06):
the episode sponsor go ahead. Today's two sponsors of the
letters S and D as an I can s my
own d it's so of course I put that up
on Instagram and so many people said they ripped you
guys off, as if we had invented that phrase, right,
but everybody else was. I got a lot of d ms,

(01:03:27):
and thank you all for for pointing that out, and
as your own d M, I didn't see. I still
didn't see it. Did you get you? And I still
don't see the episode. I can't wait, I said, did
you get d MS or did you get s your
own d M, that's my own d MS. I have
to repeat the joking up attentions and scary. Wow, you
don't even give me a chance to breathe with that button. Yes, sorry,
you know, time is money. Money's time. Hey, it's time

(01:03:50):
and time is money. I I with the mind on
the money and my money on my mind. Um, you know,
let's see here, I had something that I wanted to
all up for you, but I want to want to
pull up by the way I want. I'd like to
point something out. Okay, you guys have all made fun

(01:04:11):
of and I mean I see you guys, I mean
the slices as well. You've all made fun of me
about my six dollar home set up equipment. Okay, the
first part you've you've increased it for a couple of millions,
every millions of dollars equipment. Here, I will have you
all know, have us know that it's a very affordable
piece of equipment that if you're if radio is your

(01:04:34):
career and you're really serious about it, and this is
your craft and you want to go further, and you
you you've built up a little bit. My point is
producer Sam and best desist Andrew is sistant Andrew. Yes,
they both bought what I have in my house, the

(01:04:54):
road Caster Pro. So suck it, David Brodie, you keep
saying I spent all this money in this equipment. Now
you have other people that have done the same thing
that I added onto it like you have. You've got
special mounts, special microphones, special The point is the centerpiece
of this production. The production workhorse is the road Caster Pro,

(01:05:17):
which now I have turned other people onto. Obviously, this
is not a boogie by if producer Sam and Andrew
are are buying it. So I rest my case. I
don't believe that you have the same thing I've seen
you set up. No, it's not just that thing. You know,

(01:05:40):
you've surrounded with more equipment. You know you have a
UM the Brooklyn Boys Slices. It's a private Facebook group
on on you know you and I are not members
of it. Correct. However, if you joined some Facebook groups,
like if you join a swap site you know, like

(01:06:00):
you like, Let's say you want to be in UM
Let's say Springfield, Ohio as a Facebook group. When you
go to apply for it, it may say please answer
these three questions. Do you agree you won't try to
sell anything, you won't be offensive? You right, yes? Do
you live in Springfield, Ohio? You're right yes? And um,
you know what is the name of the statue in
the park because they want to prove that you're from

(01:06:20):
the town. That you could google it, but they ask
you questions to make sure you're a legitimate Springfield, Ohio person.
I joined the Mets group and it said who is
your favorite player? Um, what's your favorite memory of going
to UH baseball game to see the Mets? And who's
their all time home run leader? Whatever? It was questions
to prove your Mets fan. Do you know what the

(01:06:43):
question is to get admission to the Brooklyn Boys fan page?
What what is Brodie's drink of choice? We'll diet coke
no ice, of course. And you have to say it
in one word, that's not that's not so I love
you know, but like I feel like that's that's really
being exclusive. I'm sure, Well, yeah, that's really exclusive. Well

(01:07:06):
that just means shady Jobop's wife can't get in the club. Right.
If you want to be part of the brook and
Boys club, you should make it a little easier than that.
I'm sure they let people who write die coke noise
in three words get in. I'm no, but I'm saying
they just changed the question altogether. Something we want to
want to ask. No, No, that I think these are two.
These are very in the room. I'm sure they. Yeah.

(01:07:32):
I think that's a fun question. It is fun. No,
it's good. I just I feel that maybe you should
just if you want to get more people into the group,
just make it a little bit a broader of a question.
I think if you're joining a fan club of a podcast,
you've got a pretty good idea. What my favorite drink is?
I mean we talked about it from episode one I
think or two. I mean we talked about it ever

(01:07:54):
we talk about so you know, alright, that's pretty fun.
Last episode I talked about renting the carpet cleaner. What
two episodes ago? And did you get the Regina steamer?
I got the extra hour because of daylight saving steamer
makes carpets cleaner. Well, let's get to cleaner. So Andrew

(01:08:14):
a benoint oh five to one b E N O.
I T could be ben walk could be annoying, depends
on well the balls. Okay, so he said in a
tweet thank you for another quality episode of The Brooklyn Boys.
A little tip for about home Depot rentals. If you
do a four hour rental three and a half hours
before they close, you can keep the rental overnight and

(01:08:36):
return it at nine a m. The next day nine
and a half hours free. It sounds like you're kind
of deal. That's my kind of deal. I like that
a lot um. I do have a story of my
my return trip to home Depot that I want to
share with you, but I want to make sure that
you don't have anything else you want to get to
before I tell you. Know. I'm good. I'm good for

(01:08:56):
today because I have the world is caving and I
got seventeen thousand calls coming in. I've got I'm putting
everything on silent. I like the new focus feature on
the iPhone in the in the latest upgrade of the
I the iOS, you could you have focused where you
can just put the focus button on and you could

(01:09:17):
have certain apps and things come through and other things
go on mute or go fund yourself. Scary is focusing
on himself. If you know what I'm saying, go focus yourself,
Go focus yourself. You you're gonna yeah, so anyway, so yeah,
so I put this, I put the focus thing on
right now because we gotta finish this off here and
uh yes, so so go right ahead, David Brodie, all right,

(01:09:38):
So let me tell what happened at Home Depot. So
you know, I rented the car machine a couple of
weeks ago and it didn't dry properly, and so I
got a little stink, a little mildew, moldy smell, a
little yeah, yes, And I used the armenhammer baking powder
whatever not that it's carpet cleaner. You you sprinkle it
down and I vacuum it up, and it didn't help.
It smelled like Armen hammer powdery smell and mildew didn't

(01:10:00):
It didn't work for me. I don't know if it
works other people, but didn't work. So I go back
to Home Depot uh Saturday at one o'clock to rent
it again. Now it's a twenty four rental. Now I know.
On Sunday at one o'clock, what am I doing? Well,
let's kick off to fan football and it's I play
fantasy football. So I can't leave the house until I

(01:10:21):
make sure that everyone's not injured. That I get all
the advice from the TV shows, and I double check,
and I get all the matchups to the last minute,
because you know, if a defensive player might be out,
you want to make some switches whatever. So I know
I'm not going to be at home Depot Sunday at
one o'clock. So when I rented, I say, look, I
don't I'm not going to be back here tomorrow until

(01:10:42):
two o'clock. Do I have to wait until two o'clock
today in the parking lot to rent this or can
I rent it today and you guys will just forgive
me for the hour. So this guy Jim, who works there,
older gentleman, the guy who's ringing me up. The woman
I'm the woman is bringing me up has orange hair,

(01:11:02):
but she's got black roots and like just orange tips
like the Halloween. She says, well, Jim tells him the story.
He goes, don't worry about it's an hour. It's not
a big deal. She says, oh, because you know when
you rent the truck, they pro rated if you rent
the truck for four hours and you're over an hour,
they charge of the of the four hour charge. And
I don't worry about it. I'll be here worry about.
Nobody cares. It's fine, it's fine. I already see a problem. Yeah,

(01:11:26):
that motherfucker's not gonna be there when you show up
with it. I rent and again, well and again. It's
fifty dollar deposit to rent the machine. The machine is
thirty seven dollars for twenty four hours, and when you
return it, you get back thirteen dollars. That's how it works. Ye.
So I rent the machine and I have two small

(01:11:46):
fans in my basement and they they rent a blower machine,
a giant blower with a fan and it goes and
it blows the floor dry, but they don't have it
on Saturday, went and there like shit. So I rent
the machine because that's my time to do it. And
I vacuum the carpeting downstairs in the den and the
upstairs level where the kid's rooms are, because I also

(01:12:09):
did that. It smelled a little bit. I do both levels.
I go back the next day and I put my
little fans on the floor and I move them around
and I wrote that they're like, they're there. They're the
ones that turn and I put them out and they're
drawing the floor. The oscillating ones right. Well, the next
morning I see, I see that the floor is still

(01:12:31):
it's still moist. It hasn't started smelling it, but it's
not drawing as fast as i'd like. I bring the
machine back and uh uh. Glenn is working behind the
counter at the return desk where you rent the machines from,
and uh, Glenn. I bring the machine back and I say, hey,

(01:12:53):
how much is the blower machine? Now? The machines are
on a rack off to the side, and the up
machines are on the floor because they have wheels, so
you line them up and you put them under the
first shelf, and on the first shelf, on top of
each one of the three machines, it says thirty seven
dollars carpet cleaning machine, thirty seven dollars carp clean machine,
thirty seven dollars carp clean machine. Above the left one

(01:13:16):
is the blower, and above the blower is spray cleaner.
And the prices on the shelf above the blower are
for the cleaning products, not for the blower. So I said,
I said, Greg, hey, how much is the blower? He
walks around the counter and over to the rack and
he says thirty seven dollars, and I said, um, the

(01:13:39):
blower is just a blower, it's not like a big machine.
And there's no sign there. Yeah, the science has thirty
seven dollars, I said, Greg, I don't wanna be difficult,
but that sign is for the steamer. Oh, it's for
both of them. Can you check now it's I'm sure
of it. Well, by the way, did you really quickly
google the the actual retail price this? Well, I didn't

(01:14:00):
do that yet, because I could have opened up my
phone and done it, and so I said, I would
have been right there. I said, Greg, I understand you're
sure that it's the same price, but you're you're the
guy who just went around the counter to look at
the sign because you weren't sure, right, But now you're
sure because you want to look at a sign that
isn't there, and now you're sure. Can you look it up?
That's how much it is? I said, Well, I'm not

(01:14:23):
gonna rent it at thirty seven dollars. Why do you
run into the rudest people, the rude he was being cocky. Well,
that's what I'm saying, that's that's equivalent of rude in
this case. So he I give him my name, and
he looks me up. He goes, I, you owe me
three dollars and fifty six cents for the steamer. What
I'm supposed to get back thirteen dollars? Now, that's what

(01:14:43):
it says. It says. It says here that it's forty
three dollars for the rental and UH and the overage
and everything, and all those three dollars for the six cents,
I go overadge it's thirty seven dollars plus tax I
get back like eleven dollars and change. I did it
last week. He said, I'll print out the receipts. You
can see it. I said, I don't need you to

(01:15:04):
print out the receipt I rented it last weekend. It's
thirty seven dollars plus tacks. I get back eleven dollars.
So he says, I'm gonna print it out so I
can explain it to you. I I don't need you
to explain it to me. I said, you're you're overcharging me.
So that he prints through. Seattle goes, yeah, you're late.
I said, I was here yesterday. Yes, I knew it.

(01:15:27):
I knew it, and I was told by Jim. Now
Jim's there, by the way. Jim's uh at a at
a register like four registers down, A couple of registers down.
I said, Jim was here, and so was the girl.
The girl with the orange hair is standing at the
next register. I said, this young lady was here. She
rang me up. They both said, don't worry about the overage.
He said, well, but you're late. That's what the price is.

(01:15:49):
I said, Greg, I'm not paying the overage. They told
me I could come in two o'clock. It's two o'clock.
He goes, all right, I'm gonna get Jim to explain
it to you. Greg, I don't need Jim to explain
it to me. Jim told me I could have it,
not a problem, no overage. By the way, he was
trying to fuck you this guy, because he he was like,
you know, what fun does this motherfucker. I'm gonna charge
him every penny I possibly can, right, So so he

(01:16:12):
so he calls Jim over and he says, um, Jim,
this guy is claiming it doesn't matter that he's an
hour late and we have to charge him the ext hour,
and he doesn't want to pay the extra hour. And
I'm trying to explain it to him. So I printed
out the receipt. You could explain it to im. He
tells me, I don't need to explain it to him,
but he wants to explain to him. So can you
explain to him? He has to pay the extra hour
because I've tried and he's not accepting my response. I
don't know what to do. I'm sorry, sir, but I
don't know how to help you. So Jim sees me

(01:16:35):
and he says, calm down, Greg. I told him he
could be late. He's absolutely right. And Greg's he's fuck
because because he was like a trauma queen. He was
very like he was getting all the Jim just like
Jim just looked at me went because Jim's like an
old guy's like walk slowly, doesn't care. He's looked at

(01:16:56):
Calm down, Greg, just calm down. I told him right now.
Greg doesn't want to look at me. Greg doesn't want
to turn his head. He's not so so I said, hey, Jim,
quick question for you. How much is the blower to rent?
And Jim goes it's twenty bucks. Oh, for some reason,
I thought it was thirty seven. I'll take the blower too, bad.

(01:17:19):
Go fund yourself and by the way, blow me while
you're at an asshole. Yeah. So Greg, calm down, Greg
calm refund my money, and I said, you know what,
take my refund, put it towards the twenty dollars for
the blower, and I took the blower. He got his
just desserts. Oh man, his face, he would not turn
to look, rather than turn to me and say I'm

(01:17:42):
really sorry. No, you know, because God forbid, he should
eat crow. No he ain't crow. No, but he just
didn't know. He didn't apologize. No, he didn't. He didn't
say anything, He didn't eat anything. Sorry, So then should
he could see a look on his face. So Jim goes,
