Brooklyn Boys, start up up, They making noise up, start up.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Dat Up, Episode three eleven of the Brooklyn Boys Podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Oh I want some cake cake? How is it? Because
it's the band three eleven? Yeah, okay, gotcha.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
When I think three eleven, I think the song down
and all mixed up, all mixed up, don't know what
to do, and then then.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Down down down.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't know, man, those are some fuzzy years. The
mid nineties. I remember when top forty pop radio stations
were playing three eleven like they were they were part
of it. They were like, yeah, we're part of the trend.
We're gonna play this band. Except when we showed up
at their concerts they would throw rocks.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
At the truck. No, they were just trying to come original.
We were thank you for that. Let the biggest hit,
by the way, isn't it? No? It was. I thought
it was all mixed up or down.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
The thing is with that, those punk bands, those SKA bands,
those those mid nineties alt rock groups, which some of
us may remember. Mainstream radio stations were befuddled. They were
The pop music cycle was at a lull, so people
didn't know what to do and how to program those
radio stations.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
So people living and.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Again in the New York area, it was ZE one
hundred and wherever you live. I don't know what the
trend was, but they would just take these two very
extreme situations. There wasn't really no middle ground pop, bubblegum
pop music or stuff that we know that's on the
radio today that defines top forty. So they would go
either all rock or all hip hop, and then some

(01:55):
stations would just play them both and it would be a clash.
I think Z one hundred New York was there were
playing Celine Dion and then they were playing Rancid.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
It just doesn't go together.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
No, I think it was nineteen ninety seven. I heard
Madonna and then space Hog. Yeah, hard rock song Oasis.
That music almost killed the radio station.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It almost did.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
We went, we went so far into this alternative lifestyle
because they said, no, you don't understand all the alt
rock stuff is becoming the mainstream. So since you're a
mainstream radio station, you need to play all the top hits,
and these are the top hits, so you need grunge.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Grunge. What started with the grunge it.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Started, so would we would play Pearl Jam followed by
the gin Blossoms. Yeah, And at that time, you if
you were a gin Blossoms fan, You're like, what is
this noise?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
And if you were a Pearl Jam fan, you're like, posers, posers,
what the hell playing gin Blossoms.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I remember before I worked at zero one hundred, I
went to I forget what constant was was, but I
went to a rock concert and Z one hundreds van
was there, and it got got The people were throwing
shit at it. Oh yeah, because it was all rock
people and they're like, why is that pop station van here?
But the van was like the station was sponsoring the
concert because it was it was Uh, that's what the

(03:15):
music they were playing?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, it was it was.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
We would be showing up at these concerts and we
would put our DJs on on the on the stage,
our DJs. Now, I luckily at that point I was
just a phone operator, but I would watch like as
as human newman. We'd go host the uh the Red
Hot what is it? No, No, I'm sorry, the Cherry Pop
and Daddy's Show, or we go on stage at these

(03:40):
these concerts that we had no business being at and
the kids at that time, they weren't They weren't stupid
then they're not stupid now they're like, look at Z
one is trying to jump on this this no No.
Our radio station is.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
One one from being the biggest pop radio station in
the world to like number eighteen ratings wise. It got
so bad and I'm sorry, I hope we're not boring anybody,
but it got so bad they had to let.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Go almost the entire staff.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
They brought a new management, new music directors, a whole
slew of people, and that was how the Elvis stre
Morning show started. That's how he started, basically was that
they had to put a new morning show together. They
took you know, they moved Elvis from afternoons to mornings.
They were like, we need to bring them back to
playing pop. We need to bring this radio station back
to center.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
And that's when they hired me, and that's when I
went back to number one.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Now that's not to say that you won't hear the
best of each genre on our station, because that's what
Top forty is is the biggest hits of the no
but hold on a second, wait, way, the.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Best hits of every genre it's the best hits of well.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
No, hold on a second, let me defend, let me defend. Yeah,
there's always going to be some rhythmic stuff in there,
some urban stuff, maybe the biggest couple of hip hop records.
Maybe there's a couple of rock leaning stuff. And now
we've even adopted country. We played country tracks that are
country rock crossover. So we really are the best of
all the worlds now, and now the listener of today

(05:02):
is more accepting of all.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
The cross of pollination of music. I mean, look at everybody.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Top forty radio stations in general still don't play hard rock.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
No, nor would we ever.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
I remember a time when the music director at the
radio station told me that, oh, well, we have to
have some rock songs, so you have to have some
some rock leaning songs. And they would go, well, the
Katy Perry's song has guitar in it, so we count
that as rock. They go, come on, But yeah, so
there's some formats that, like we used to get text messages,
why don't you guys play Metallica. That's not the music
that Although we.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Did toy with Enter Sandman when it was new because
it was such a big hit at the time, we
played it at night at Z.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
And to Sandman was nineteen ninety one ninety one, right,
that was the part of the downfall of Zer one hundred,
So that.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Was that was part of that. Right.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
So anyway, whenever we tried to go too hard in
the paint in any direct one direction, not one direction,
one direction, direcceptable.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yes, that was perfect. In any different direction, we would
be screwed. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
I just saw they're touring again. I think the name
that they I saw I said that they're touring is
the new one direction or direction the only direction? Not
one direction? What was the other band that was? What
was the other boy band that that failed?

Speaker 5 (06:13):
That?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
What?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
What Max that Elvis named his dog after. Oh, we
just interviewed Max George the Wanted, the Wanted. Yeah, Civa
doing the.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Wanted two point Oh we just didn't We just had
him on yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, the Wanted I knew was the new version. Right,
he's coming back with Siva.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
But like you know that, I believe the One Direction
doesn't have Zaane in it, right, I think he's that's.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
What he's well.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I don't know what they're doing, but they had a
problem with saying when he was in the group, and
Harry Styles isn't going to get back at one direction.
He's the Justin timber Lake Vincent oh you oh, you
know what?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Here, if you're a betting man, I'm a betting man,
I'm telling you and you heard.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
It here first.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, I think I think because you mentioned in the
same way Justin timber Joh, I think Justin Timberlake is
going to embark on a tour with and Sink after
he's done with his personal tour. He's still on tour
right now. I think what he's done, they may take
a little bit of time off, and then within a
year or so, they're gonna they're gonna pop the cork

(07:15):
on that and they go be like, you know what,
let's do it, guys, and they're gonna go n KOTB style,
Backstreet Boy style. They're gonna go right in there. And
I think they are. I think Justin will be with them,
mark my words. It may not happen in twenty twenty five,
but it's gonna happen in the in the next couple
of years.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Is this an in sync thing?

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Because of the dui and his need to re establish
him and the Britney book and everything else.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's an it's a I'm justin Timberlake and I'm not
selling I'm not selling out concerts anymore.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Thing. He hasn't had a hit in ten years.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
The problem is, listen, Justin is just we love him.
But the truth of the matter is artists like Jennifer
Lopez canceling their tours. Justin Timberlake. He's doing well, But like,
is he selling out? No, you can get tickets to
pretty much any show you want. The thing is, these
artists that we know and love and were at one

(08:08):
point untouchable and sold out for weeks now are realized, well,
wait a second, We're in a new era now. You know,
these kids are listening to you know, everyone's listening to
Great Gracie Abrams and Noah Kahn, and you know they're
they're following people at Chapel Roan and Billie Eilish and
Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah, well fifty year old pop stars. Oh

(08:28):
I get a Sabrina Carpenter update.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
F you. I'll get to in a minute. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Uh but yeah, but because Jennifer Lopez is listen. I'm
nothing against Jennifer Lopez, but she's in she's fifty, right,
she's more average, she's more than that. I'm eighteen year
old's like, oh, that's my mother's age. Like it's when Madonna,
Like when Madonna got old. People like why is Madonna's
a little pop stars?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Right?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
So when you ask, so, when you ask why, I
really think Justin Timberlake will do this. It's the nostalgia thing,
and you know, he's probably realizing, Hey, look, it wouldn't
be the worst thing in the world if I got
to back together with the guys. You know.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Let me listen.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Bactory boys have been there, they did it. New kids
on the block are doing it right now, and they're
doing it ten years later.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, he's too late.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I think here's your here's your first homework assignment to
leave us a talk back with your opinion slices.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Here's what I want to know.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
If you're Joey and JC and Lance and Chris, the
other four guys and then sync and Justin has been
basically blowing you off for like fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
He lets you be the backup. He lets you be
his backup singers.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
At an MTV event a few years ago, he wouldn't
tour you know, Chris Kirkpatrick has no career. J C
really has no career. Lance Pass has done some reality TV.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
And he has a podcast. He does what he does well. Yeah,
Lance has done okay.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
But the other the other ones, Joey Fatone is up
on practical jokers.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
He's the voice of Price is right. Is he some things?
But he's not like you know, those guys have been
like justin, Hey, how's it going, how's your career here?
If I'm them as much as I want the money,
if you with them slices, what would you be like justin,
you know what, we're going to go on tour without
your ass, Like I know that they would lose money

(10:11):
by I would lose. That would be a money loser.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
But but don't you like that part of them would
be like all right, justin, we're going to go on
toward you, but you're going to be in the back
of the bus.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
You get in the smallest dressing room.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Welcome back, like the humble pie, because now he's got
to be a little humbled.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Now he's been like, hey, guys, why don't we go
on tour? And I'm like, oh, look, look who's had
a bad year wants to go back on tour. It
isn't well.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I would say he's had a bad year. He doesn't
have to listen. He tried to strike. He doesn't have
any hit. He doesn't have any hits from this album
or the last one. Really, he said he's had a
couple of non hit albums. He had the d U
y and He and he had the Britney Spears Brook,
which bad.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
So that's also why.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
But that's also why hypothetically, because you said, oh, Justin
wouldn't want to get back with them, I said, oh,
contre Montfrere.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
You watch, he's going to watch.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
His Styles wouldn't want to get back with direction right now.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Even he might come to terms with that eventually. It
might be the larger than life I mean again he's cool.
Oh right, larger than life.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Harry Styles has cooled off because his tour ended and
he doesn't have any mute new music out.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
But he was on fight, he was the biggest. Yeah, well, anyway,
how do we start with this?

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh, it was because Rock's got thrown at the Ze
one hundred Hummer because we showed up at the Rancid concert.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
No, it was unsafe to be uh, to be like Hey,
we're in New York's new alternative radio station Z one hundred.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, we're gonna wear the We're gonna wear the fucking
leather bomber jackets, and we're gonna be cool. Yeah, that
image did not work for us back then. So but
lo and behold. Top forty isn't a great place. In fact,
the whole, the whole, like general pop music genre, had
a bit of a lull during the pandemic. Again, it
was going through its low cycle. Well it is back

(11:52):
with a vengeance because of artists that we that we're
playing now. You said, after this we'll talk about Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I got I got something competent you might like.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I mean, you know, I'm I'm I'm true to Olivia Rodrigo.
I'm a huge Olivia fan.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Well you know what I came across something? Uh no,
pun intended. When you hear what it is, I that
you will I think you will enjoy and it will
keep you busy this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Does it have to do with the song why would
You Move? Why?

Speaker 5 (12:18):
No?

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Bad Cam No?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Does it have to do the song bad Cam No,
it has to do with the song Juno Juno know
that song, you know what?

Speaker 3 (12:28):
What what you know about me? What you do you
know about me? What do you know about you put
the Jew and Juno.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
By the way, the song is not about the movie Juno,
but I'll tell you what's going on that you need
to know about as a fan.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
You put the Jew in Juno? I do all right?

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh shut shout out to Va David Brody, Happy New
Year to you, Thank you very much, and listen. You
gotta give me credit. I didn't pronounce right, but.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's it's it's it's it's you could say it both ways.
You're having a happy New Year right now.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
My problem with you, scary has always been your uh,
the way you would laugh and joke around with our
holiday as.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
If it was like all the boys, like everybody get
the joke.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well that was the big joke in where I lived
with my friends when none of them were Jewish.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well no, but it was what is it?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
It's Russia Shana, right, So I'm like, technically, so I
would be pronoun Americanized Roshana, not Rushana Shannaa favorite my
one of my favorite shows growing up.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
With Bowsers.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yep, yeah, but no, I would say rich Russia Shana
so all my Jewish friends are gonna Russia Homer before sundown.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Right, that was the scaries big joke on the radio,
Russia Homa.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
And then it would look at me for like approval
I got right, right, and I'd give him a dirty look.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
I wasn't look Jewish. New Year, Uh to those anyway?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
And and the Vali's coming up soon? Right is the Vali? Yes,
that's it's on its way too. A lot of great,
that's how that's the word. But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh, welcome to Oh, nothing to do with religion, but
having to do with the ethnicity. No, happy Italian. What
is it Italian Heritage Month? It's it's Italian Heritage.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Month this month. Yes, I like that. We had to
look it up. So I will be. I will be
uh not not not not. I'll go on vacation. No, no,
I'll be going on a sponsor. Nope, I'm going on
vacation next week, going to Italy. No, so next Monday,
next Monday, a week from this Monday. Well today, what
is the.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Two places you can go for Italian Heritage Month? It's
either Italy or October fourteenth is Columbus Day.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Right?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Some people want to be PC and snowflakes call it
Indigenous People's Day, and they don't they want to know
the fact I still.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Call it Columbus Day, snowflake thing.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
He did some things that maybe weren't the nicest and
yes to Indigenous people.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
So did half of our music catalog. But we still
play them on the radio. Right, you mean P Diddy
woke up in the morning feeling like P Diddy. By
the way, some stations are blocking out the line in
the Keshi song that says woke up in the morning.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Feeling like playing that song. We are.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's a big small it's it's a throwback. At this point,
we play it a lot.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
By the way, what other artists that is, see one
plays murdered Native Americans.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
But what I'm saying is we're going up on a
tangent a lot of our catalog Columbus, Columbus Day, Columbus,
we played Michael Jackson. He didn't murder, but radio does.
But he didn't murder Indigenous people. And nor doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. It's it's it's it's hypocrisy at the
highest level. We choose to we choose to obliterate people

(15:50):
and cancel them for certain things. But the other people
can get away with beating people up and domestic abuse
and we still play them and we love them on
the radio.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Which people that beat up people in a guilty of
domestic abuse have a national holiday.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Don't talk about national holidays. Now we're talking about about
hypocrisy of it all. But it doesn't matter. Saying well,
that's like saying that's like saying, well, uh, don't arrest
murderers because uh uh Garth Brooks may have sexually I
don't want to go.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
I was making a point.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's Italian Heritage a month, So why what I was
leading to was we're not gonna be one We're gonna
give you. We're gonna give you a Brooklyn Boys episode. Yes, okay,
we're gonna give you another one. We're gonna give you
a Slice time and another Brooklyn Boys episode. But the
next Brooklyn Boys episode will be released on the week
that I will be off on vacation celebrating Italian Heritage Month.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
That's not why you're taking off, Well, no, it's because
Elvis and Italian. He's not taking off for the Italian
because Elvis is off. So we're off. We're off Italian
Heritage and and.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I'm going I'm going to Florida. I'm going to New Orleans.
That's a whole other conversation. But no Italians in Florida
or New Orleans. I mean that're not known for that.
It doesn't matter. I'm celebrating by taking off. So anyway,
it's not my job, it's not my choice. I'm given
the vacation time and where, and I'm leaving. I'm leaving town,
wouldn't you, Oh, wait.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
For Italian Heritage, I'm taking off that week as well.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
So heritage, right, So anyway, my point is, yes, the
Italian Heritage Month, welcome to that.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
How do we like Jewish Heritage Week?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Why?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I you know, I should be rewarded in some way.
There's a lot of It's a lot.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I'll take off this week. So Sabrina Carpenter, how do
we go so far from that?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
By the way, I don't believe Sabrina Carpenter slaughtered any
indigenous people for land, so I think we're safe.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
That doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
So, you know, you know the the is it the
for the explore page on Instagram?

Speaker 3 (17:39):
What's it called the for you page? Or the discovery page.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Discovery page, Yeah, TikTok is for you page, so you know,
if you like let's say, I like Dodge chargers, so
a lot of times Dodge Charges will show up in
my explore page, right, but also sometimes Camardos and Ford
Mustangs will show up because they're similar similar in the algorithm.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
So I like a lot of a lot of pizza places,
So this pizza in my discovery page, and and the
band Kiss and and and.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
There's this pop artist.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
And I'll occasionally click on a Taylor Swift video because
I like Taylor Swift and might be like, oh, here's
the thing she did with that, you know whatever. So
there's a couple of pop stars in my in my feed, Well,
Sabrina Carpenter came up yesterday and I could see in
the video it said Taylor uh, Sabrina Carpenter the position.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
So I'm like, well, what the hell is that? No, No,
I don't know that song.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
So I clicked on it and it was her performing
the song Juno in concert, and the description of the
video was, ah, here's another angle of Sabrina Carpenter doing the.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Position, So, oh, my guy, what's this about?

Speaker 4 (18:45):
So I click on the video and she's singing the
song Juno yep, and and she's she walks to the
end of the stage. She struts to the end of
the stage and she turns around and she drops to
her knees and she does like a doggy style thing
where she like put to her ass up and all
the cameras go crazy, you see, like people put the kids.
I'm like, what the hell is this about? To Brina Carpenter,

(19:08):
I know from what I worked at.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Do you want to.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
She was eighteen years old. Eighteen years old, sweet little
Disney girl. What what? So I'm like, okay, what's this
position thing? So after I clicked that, I see this
more to bring a corpent. The videos with the position scary.
There is a catalog of people posting videos of her

(19:32):
doing the Judi her doing the position, the position from
all different angles, all different outfits.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
She changes different outfits every time, mostly sparkly with short
shorts on. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
So there's a Brooklyn one where she's in a black outfit.
There's one she's a pink outfit. What's the blue outfit?
So I was like, oh, I got to stop. This
is not not falling going down this rabbit hole. But
then I was like, oh, I gotta tell scary. So
I didn't send you the videos, right, but I knew
that would peak your interest.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Now I get it. She's now known for.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Listen she does a two hour concert YEP and she dances,
and she throws her arms up and she bends backwards
and does the things. But apparently in this song, right,
she's got a move and so uh.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
She also has a double entendre in the song bad
chem which is now becoming a very popular shirt.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
She doesn't play well. The lyric of the song is
is it It's.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
No. The lyric of the song is something about come
on me, and then it's come roder ree. So the
shirt says come on me, but it's like written like
like phonetically, so you don't really really see it. And
then underneath it says come roder ree. But if you
it's in the it's in the lyrics to the song
bad Kim, which is on the album She's on her

(20:48):
Short and Sweet Tour. See basically, she just had a
whole makeover. The thing about Sabrina is she's this year's
Taylor Swift. By the way, Oh trust me go look
at the concert ticket prices, and dude.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
She's not selling out every arena and people are flying
across the country. No, no, oh no, oh no, no,
she's playing regular sized arenas. Oh no, she's not playing
giant Stadia yet, met Life.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
She'll get there. My point is she's on her she's
well on her way. She doesn't have fifteen albums of
material like Taylors.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Hold on a second, hold on, Brody, Brody, I know,
I know Taylor is your girl. I know Taylors, you're
Olivia Ronrigo. Hold on a second, hold on. I'm just
letting you know. She's on a path similar to Taylor Taylor.
Taylor had people like hold on, Phoebe Bridges, Sabrina Carpenter,

(21:36):
and Gracie Abrams all open for her. Okay, as you
do some research, I know you're talking to Google back there,
trying to pull up some stats.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hold on, wait, hold on, wait, hold on.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
My point is in years past, in the run up,
in the last seven eight years that we've known Sabrina,
and you're talking about the Sabrina before.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Okay, it was.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Very much very you know, disney esque, very polite. Whatever
her along comes Jack Antonoff. Who oh wait, who's he?
Oh yeah, that's right. He's Taylor Swift's writer. He writes
for Taylor Swift. They collab on stuff. Jack Antonoff came
in and in this album now, the one with Espresso
on it and all the song please Please Please, where

(22:17):
she says, don't embarrass me, motherfucker. She's now a different
Sabrina Carperence. She's evolving. Hold on, she's growing up. She's
doing the position on stage for everyone, the gauk At,
she's doing wordplay and you know with with songs that
I mentioned earlier, like from Bad Camp.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
My point is she has.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Now entered into this realm, into this She's next level.
She's she's actually, it's more apt to say she's this
year's Olivia Rodrigo, but if you look at it, you
know Olivia. All of them were proteges from from the
Taylor Swift factory tree.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, you know she's so basically the people that are
going to see her now, all these kids that are
seeing her.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
She is provocative, she's sexy.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
She's not the Sabrina you remember three years ago with
Mickey Mouse ears on and now she's selling out shows.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
You could not get you could people.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I had eleven people hit me up for fucking Sabrina
Carpenter tickets.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
And my daughter went to see her last week at
the Garden. Yeah, wherever she went.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's great. How much did she pay for tickets?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
I don't know the tickets were, Brodie, look at what
your daughter's paying. These are Taylor's Swifts, her money. Taylor
Swift prices.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Really five thousand dollars as a ticket because the.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Face value, the face value on a Sabrina ticket now
in twenty twenty four on her short sweet tour, is
much more comparable to what you would pay to get
in to see a Taylor Swift shown, or an Olivia
Rodrigo show for that matter.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
My point is she's very.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Compare Look, look, you want to say she's huge. I
totally get that. She's doing really well. In fact, you
told me a couple of months ago she's gonna blow up.
This gonna be the She's on a trajectory.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
I like her very much personally. I think she's a sweetheart.
She's very talented. I like her last album very much.
All I'm saying is, don't compare anyone to Taylor Swift, right,
now you're talking about you're talking about comparing it.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
She's on a trajectory, she's on her way, she's on
her way.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Just say she's having a great year. You're doing. She's
having a Taylor Swift type year. No, she's not.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
She's having an Olivia Rodrigo Billie Eilish type year. Okay,
I don't think you have a clue what went on
at Taylor Swift concerts or what it was like to
get a ticket. I understand, No, no, I understand, But I'm
trying to also paint a picture for people that don't
know that Tala Swift's tours change the ECONO understood it. Oh,
I know, That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
They also they also changed the amount of air pollution
we have from their private jet fly.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh, you're you're buying into the whole you're right wing
conspiracy theories.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
That did you see?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I saw her jet where she went the whole year,
and I was like, and it's in fast motion.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
I'm just saying, it's scary. Every every sports team flies up.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
I know, I know, I no, I know, we all do.
My point is, I was watching.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
When did you become that guy? This isn't that kind
of podcast? Let me read the lyrics. By the way,
the lyrics are come right on me, come right on me,
and camaraderie. Yes, where where art thou? Why not upon us?

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Me?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah? Right? Meaning right? Read that again?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Nope, No, that's not Is that not the me, that's
the Sabrina car that's the Sabrina Carpenter of.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Clearly she's not the Hollywood Records.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Disney And once again, thank you could help. Thank you
Jack Antonov. I don't know if he wrote that. We
love Jack anton is a genius, yes, but he's also
the guy who helped Tell write some of some of
her best songs. Also the guy who co wrote all
the songs in Fun and for his own band Bleacher.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Right, he is writing Jamous Machine.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
If you get if you get Jack Antonoff to do
your album, you're basically poised.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
For success as a on Tandra a Sabrina Coppee to lyric,
isn't it I want you to Jack Antonov?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I think so, Hey, don't criticize me for watching videos
that that are served to me on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I'm seeing all this shit. It is what it is.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I'm serve people is serving me videos, yes, or listed
you know, slices, slices, dm me videos all the time.
I think it was I think it was Vinnie from
the Bronx who sent me the uh the Taylor Swift
flight path for the year twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Of every every place that her private.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Jet flew, it was actually a parajets so she had
like her and her her backup dancer.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
How do you think every band and artist on the
planet goes on tour? I didn't. I didn't say I
didn't say everyone. I'm just saying, I'm just saying she's
definitely one.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
She's definitely one for you know who's appreciate she ates
uh clean air. You know, she's she's part of I'm
gonna just become one of the stupids, Brodie. I'm just
saying it's it's it's hysterical to me. It's more of
a critical thinking. I don't want to critically think. Look
at what we do for a living. I don't want

(27:17):
to critically think.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
I'm telling you right.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Now, I just I just sent you the Sabrina Coppinder
video on Instagram Instagram and look.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
At you, because no, then you accuse me of walking
at a minor. But she's not a minor.

I think it's totally safe.

There are there are different positions, but like each like
but along the tour, apparently she'd ever like I say,
ten ten tours, and she changes it makes it a
different than But this is one of them.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
That's. Oh, here's another one, which is this one? You
sent me more than one, I say you too. Yeah,

a lot of training. People are paying four hundred dollars
to go see her more, nine hundred dollars, nine hundred

Speaker 3 (28:56):
What are we doing? We're doing a podcast and I'm

thing is, I don't know that side of her. It's
the backside. But I know, you know, you know what
I'm saying. I don't know that side of Sabrina. We
know again, but I to your.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Point earlier, we've watched her grow up, yes, and it's
little like the first time she came on on morning show,
she's like, Hi, now she has come Roderie. You shouldn't
have to come on our morning show anymore, right, that's correct?

Speaker 3 (29:29):
But yeah, anyway, yeah, that's cool. But yeah, she's all
grown up. But doesn't everyone. I mean, we said the
same thing with Miley Cyrus.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Miley Cyrus, all of them, they all go through a
Cyrus was coming up to our show.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
She was like seventeen, Yeah, and she had a r
tutor with her. Now we're talking. Now, we're talking like parents.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
I tell you I've told the story of the Miley
Cyrus story right on this podcast. I must have when
the first or second time she came up to the
morning show and she had her U This older woman
was her her tutor or her homeschool teacher, and I said, oh,
is it fun teaching Miley Cyrus?

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Because you know, she was handing them on tan at
this point she was a big star and she was, no,
it's rotten. I was like, what do you mean?

Speaker 4 (30:12):
She was she won't do her homework, and every time
I try to get it to do anything, She's like,
I'm a millionaire.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
I don't need to do my homework. What do I
need school for?

Speaker 5 (30:18):

Speaker 5 (30:44):
It on you.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Brody made me watch three of these videos in a row,
and now my whole algorithm is Sabrina Carpenter videos bending
over in doggie style position.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Listen slices. You do what you want. We're just giving
information out. If you guys want to go, look, you go. Look.
If scary uh ends up not going.

Speaker 4 (31:04):

Speaker 3 (31:09):
I'm working watching Sabrina Elvis? Can we have Sabrina Carpenter
on again?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Well?

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Now again she's on tour, so yeah, yeah, A bunch.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Of people have sent me this video. It's a little
bit long. I'll play it and I'll cut it off
when it's appropriate. It's it may be Jamie send it
to me. A couple of the people, the dumbest person
I've seen on the Internet in quite some time.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Should I should I play the audio? Yeah? All right?

Speaker 4 (31:34):
So as a girl, she's wearing a red jacket, she
has blonde hair. In case you've seen the video or
you come across it, she's talking about how dumb she is,
so I give her credit for putting this video up.
But she's talking about a time when she needed quarters
for her laundry machine in her building wherever she lives,

(31:56):
or she goes to college, whatever. So here's her talking
about quarters and then slices. I need you to leave
us a talk back if you didn't know this either, Okay,
can hear this?

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Okay story, here's I'm an idiot, and here's why my
laundry machine takes quarters.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Naturally.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
I'm like, where does one just get quarters? So I'm like, okay,
I'm gonna go on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
By quarters.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
You can buy like rolls of quarters on Amazon. I'm like, perfect,
I'll do that. It was like seventy two rolls for
ten dollars that the mark doesn't equal up, but that's
a score. Like I'm getting seventeen seventy two rolls of
quarter sleeves quarters in them for ten dollars. I'm like, okay, money, get.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
The package, get the box, get the box empty.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
It's just seventy two plane.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Rolls, no quarters in the Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
So this girl needed quarters, and not only did she
have no clue where to get quarters from a bank, yeah,
or any any store that go into a grocery store
and say can I get change of a dollar? Yeah,
she didn't know what to get so she went and
bought seven. She thought she was getting seventy two rolls
of quarters.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
For ten dollars. Ten dollars on Amazon because she's like,
oh I need change. Let me let me order change
from Amazon. Never give you that deal, Temu, I would
believe it. Maybe right, but the quarters are made of plastic,
So yeah, that has to be a joke. She can't
really be that stupid. Yeah, yes, she is not brody.

(33:45):
She can't be some of her other videos she's not.
I mean, well, maybe it's not an act. Maybe it's
an act. I'm hoping that's her persona online is making.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Videos like this.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Her name is Kennedy Kennedy just in case. Yeah, isn't
Kennedy on a court? Now, he's not on any quarters.
Kennedy's on the fifty cent piece, the half dollar? So
who's on the quarter?

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Scary? George Washington? Thank you? All right? So hey, who's
on the silver dollar? Eisenhower? Very good? Anyway, So she
asking David Brody stuff like that. Come on, now, who's
on the two? Who's on the two dollar bill? Jefferson?
Is it you sure about that? All right? So I

(34:30):
saw that video. I actually saw that.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I actually saw the rebuttal video the remix where some
guy is interrupting her every ten seconds and he's screaming
into the into the microphone, Hello, knocking on his head, Hello, McFly.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Anybody home a bank? No, you can't be that stupid.
That has to be an act.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Hold on before we say that, slices. If you if
you don't know where to get quarters, leave.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Us to talk about Oh god, please, but but but
what I know you can go to the bank.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Now, it very well, very well could be that because
of that, you know, the way she you know, kind
of swipes her card and kind of like you know,
blue presses the literally use her phone to pay for
ship just like taps on it tap to pay that
she doesn't have any real cash in her pocket, and
if she does, it's basically dollar bills and stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Okay, it could be as a phone, right, but she
so she may not have seen the inside of a bank.
Over bank, would you google? Where can I get changed?
I don't know because I don't know. But but on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I think she's making a joke because she's took she
took it literally, and she's trying to point out how
stupid it is that it's just a box of quarter wrappers.
On account it says rolls of quarters. It does say
that on Amazon, So I can understand her making fun
of quarter rolls of quarters.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Rolls. Why would you get paid? Why would you have
to pay ten dollars for seven Why would you think
you get seven hundred twenty dollars worth of quarters for
ten bucks? Ten bucks? Right? Okay, so slices? What is
it that people would go, how do you not know that?
But you didn't know that? Or like you had an
epiphany one day where you're like, oh my god, I
didn't know that. Did you ever do anything like this

(36:13):
girl and not know.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Like how to use a microwave or how to buy stock,
like how to buy stock? Like it was there something
you had no clue that everyone like people.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Were like, how do you not know that? Right? And
the answer was right under your nose. I can't.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
I mean, I've watched it three times. I can't figure
out she's a great actress, that's what I think. No, no, no, no,
one is that dumb. No, it's scary. There's people, listen,
there's people who think that Taylor Swift is the same
size performer as a Sabrina Carpenter. People are dumb.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
What I listen don't meant. I don't want to change. Listen.
I was telling you. I made it as a comparison.
That's just on that trajectory. She's veried a great year.
God bless hers. You A good kid. She deserves it.
She's a good kid. Hey you could you? Good kid kid?

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Pat you on the head, got you no, Listen. We've
had some people on the on the show that are
rotten people. She's one of the good ones.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, like you're root for her? Of course, not not
the young.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Pop star that I saw on backstage at jingle Ball
and was like, oh, look at the kids. You're talking
to the kids, and she's like, oh backstage, And then
she got in the elevator with me the dose close, She's.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Like, I fucking hate these kids. So that was somebody else.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
That was somebody else, somebody else, somebody else, somebody who's no.
I would never say it was this person's wicked.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
All right, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta
boys podcast. We will be right back. What now what
what I saw? What you did there?

Speaker 5 (37:46):
No?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I didn't do anything. Oh yeah, yeah, moving on, you're slick,
you're slick.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
No.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Nah. So I got this green card in the mail.
Oh congratulations, you can vote. No, not that green card.
Oh ok.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
This is a it's a summons to appear as a
petit juror. So I have to go for jury duty,
and I am miserable about it.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
You can petit.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's pettit jury as opposed to grand jury, which last
time around I was summoned to that. And when you
get summoned for grand jury duty, you are there working
like a dog for seven eight hours a day, once
a week, for twenty weeks consecutive, and there's no getting
out of it because you're hearing no, no, no, you're
hearing all the It's they're all quick hits you get.

(38:36):
You see, you see like six seven cases a day.
All you have to do is decide as a group
is there enough?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Is there some? Is there something here to indict? To indict?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Right? So that's the grand jury, which basically you just
hear them all day and they were one sided. It's
basically the prosecutor and whatever. But point is with that,
that was a whole other thing. This is now I
could be put on a case. Now I could be
put on a like put in the jury box and
the whole thing, and.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
And what are the dates that you because you may
have to we jury duty during Italian Heritage Week. No,
it's in the month of November, so we're good there. Okay,
but oh wait, you don't have vacation coming up in November.
Oh we have a vacation in November. Two. We got
a week in November. Not sure? Do not do not
the week of thank the week of Thanksgiving? We're off?
Oh Jesus Christ, Hey, I don't. Don't you said October

(39:27):
was your fall break? That was it?

Speaker 5 (39:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
No, October, we get a week in October. We're getting
a week in mid November.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
What do you want to say? Like, are you up
to eleven weeks?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Now?

Speaker 3 (39:37):
How many? Now, Brody? You know, come on count it.
It's like, what do we got six? Seven weeks a year? Anyway,
that's not true. I'll count it right now.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
You have none? Okay, you need to get a woman
to do that. I'm gonn I'm gonna cut your mic
like a debate, like a debate. Stage up. Sorry, can't
hear Brodie anymore? Oh?

Speaker 3 (39:53):
What's that? Reclaiming our time? What's up now?

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Okay, you're back zee. I only had to cut your
mic once said you weren't going to fact check me.
So yeah, So I realized that I have petit jury duty.
But three days later I have a colonoscopy, So I'm
gonna have some jury duty.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
I'm gonna have some duty. And how do you they
say you have.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
To prep for a colonoscopy the day before. I know
nothing about this. I know nothing about this other than
that prep before. No, it's my first one.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
What am I in for?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
And can I use that on the morning that I
show up, Because I am going to show up for
my appointment, I'll be like, hey, guys, here, I am
jury duty. By the way, I have a colonoscopy day
four days later, but I have to prep three days later.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
No, you don't you prepped the day before.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Cut it out the day No, I have to prep
the day before, so by Wednesday. If I support, I
go in on a Monday, I gotta prep on a Wednesday.
I got a poop on a Wednesday for a Thursday?

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Is it true? It's excessive? Excessive? Uh pooping scary.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
The whole point of prepping for a colonoscopy is to
clean yourself. You clean yourself out completely so that when
the camera goes in it doesn't see anything except with
the insides of your your your your colon and your
testings and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
So that's Thursday, but Wednesday have to prep. So what
do I do on Monday? Is there a pig? What
eat like a pig?

Speaker 5 (41:27):
No?

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Well why should I do that? But no? But what
should I do with the jury duty?

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Well?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
What do I tell them when I get to court?
Tell them you have a colonoscar be coming up.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
And they may say, oh, oh you're You may be
on a case for a couple of days or you
know whatever. You may be done by Wednesday, but I
I don't. That's the Colonoscopies can be moved. They may
tell you you enough to move it unless unless, unless
you have a medical reason of having a colonoscopy.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
In other words, yeah, I'm fifty and I haven't had one,
and I have a family history of it.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
No, but it doesn't mean you have to have an
emergency colonoscopy. You can win. No, no, no, no, I'm
not moving my date. I waited two months to get
this date. This guy day over backwards to get this date.
I just realized something scary.

you had a note from your doctor. First of all,
you need you need written confirmation that you have an appointment.

Speaker 3 (45:26):

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Second of all, if you had blood in your stool,
sorry slices. Oh, but if you did, like a medical
emergency that your doctor said, I need to do a
kolonoski be this blood in his stool, you could get
out of jury duty.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
No, but I'm not trying to do that. I'm just
trying to be honest.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
I'm giving examples of people that could ge out of
jury duty if they had a real issue. You do
not have that problem to my knowledge, right, So you're
just going for a routine I'm fifty check up.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yes, you could move that if you hadn't. No, I
can't because it took me forever to get this date.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
I need.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
I need this date.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
I've already put did off two times because didn't fit
with my schedule, and now it's been it's a two
month wait to get to this doctor.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
It's been one week.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
You need to You need to get a note from
your doctor and keep us all posted on how that's going,
because I don't think you're getting out of jury duty.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
I'm not gonna get out of Drews. I'm gonna show
up and serve my day on Monday. Right. But if
they tell you they put you on a case and
the case is gonna last a week, what are you
gonna do? I don't know what to do. What you
could do is request a one or two day case,
a short case. Here's yes, but here's.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
The problem that people are Everyone's going to be saying,
but wait a second, that's not how it works. I
didn't even have to show up in person. They call
me the day before. This is Hudson County, New Jersey.
All right, this is not your town, USA, where you know.
I hear so many stories of people like, ah, don't
worry about it. I live in blah blah blah County

(46:52):
and this is Hudson County, New Jersey. There's they have
a very heavy case load. There's a lot of shit
going on, and it's very active, active county of New Jersey.
So so uh yeah, So I don't know what to expect.
But there's no way that I'll be there on Wednesday Thursday.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
I can't. I can go Monday Tuesday, but I.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
Can go Wednesday because you're gonna bring you can bring
a Gatorade with.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
You and you pill. No, I'm not gonna be taking
breaks in the middle of the afternoon. No, no way,
good luck. I think they're gonna see that you're full
of shit. No, I won't be because I'll be because
I'll be emptied out. Oh my god, Well you have

(47:43):
pickleball today?

Speaker 4 (47:45):
No, but I do have You know what I had
a problem in pickaball now that you mention it, so, uh,
we will refer to hers as pickleball Tracy. So I
played pickleball earlier in the week in the morning. I
don't normally get up early, but there's the only session
that was my level that was available. So I got
I went to like a nine o'clock nine thirty.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
And what level? What level are you? I am intermediate.
You're asking me what my level is, or what I
think my level is.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
I'm at two seven five, but I'm like, I'm about
to be promoted to three.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Okay, So what does that mean in the world of pickleball?
Is that like, well, you start off at two two
a quarter two and a half two seven feet No,
it's intermediate, it's advanced.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
It intermediate. I mean I would have been playing since
June's you're moving to Juno Juno, moving on. You've been
playing since Juno. If I was playing since June, i'd
be backing up, not moving up. I back that thing up.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Right.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
So when you when you play, depending on how many
people are there, there's four people on a court. If
there's sixteen people, let's say that's great. But if there's
fourteen people, that means for a twelve play and two
weight for the winner, right whatever, two people lose first,
then those two people were place them and then you
swap out. Well, sometimes there's fifteen people, meaning there's three

(49:05):
people waiting to play.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
You follow me so far?

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yes, okay, all right, So in order to see who's next,
there's a there's a racket holder. You put your your paddle,
your paddle holder, and you put your paddle in order
to see who's next from left to right.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
So whoever's in the first slot.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
When when someone loses, you're the next person or the
next two people to go and replace them.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Keep that in the back of your mind. Okay, So
when there's extra people, you normally play till eleven, But
when there's people waiting, they'll say, all right, everybody played
to nine this way, the games move a little faster. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
So the way pickleball works, and I'm not going to
bore you, I'm gonna go quickly. Is you only score
a point when you serve. When you're not serving, if
you win the point, you don't get a point. You
just when you get to serve again. In other words,
if I'm serving and I and I hit a ball
and you miss it, I get a point. My team
gets a point. But if you're serving and I hit
a ball you miss, I don't get a point.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
I just get insted of being my turn again. Okay,
I understood. Yep.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
So if you happen to do really well on the
times you're not serving, right, and then when you are
serving you do poorly, nobody is scoring, understood.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
So a nine point game after like seven eight minutes,
it still might be two to one. Yes, I see
I see it. Okay.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
So we're playing and pickleball. Tracy comes over and she
leans over the fence and she says, excuse me, because
she's been one of the people waiting and we've been
playing a long time. You're playing to nine, you know that, right?
So I looked at her because everyone else is like
what the fuck? So I went, yeah, we know how
the rules work. Well, you've been playing a long time,

(50:44):
so I assumed you're playing till eleven. I said, it's
three to two right now. Thanks, go back by the paddles.
We're good, we're good, we know how the game works.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
So I'm like, okay, I'll keep an eye on this
one because she's like, before long, how long did a
typical pickleball game a match? Lest Yeah, eleven, twelve, thirteen minutes? Okay,
but we were like at the nine to ten minute mark,
but the score happened to be low.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
It just was working out there, loco.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
But she decided it's up to her to come over
and tell us that we're taking too long. Let us
know you don't play till eleven. I hope you know
you're playing untill nine. Hey, thanks, we all heard the rules.
We all heard at the beginning when they told us
you're all playing to nine today.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
So then later on, after I lost, I put my
racket in the in my paddle in the holder, like
this is like maybe a half hour later, and I'm second. Okay, No,
I'm sorry, I'm third. I'm third.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
So the two people in front of me. They go,
they go play.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
So I'm the fifteenth person. So i'm my paddle. My
paddle is there by itself. Can I turn and I'm
watching the games. And I turned back and I see
that pickleball Tracy must have lost her game. She puts
her racket in front of mine to make her next.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Even though I'm next, because you're supposed.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
To move the paddle that's in the third slot to
the first first slot and then put your paddle second.
She put her fucking paddle in the first slot and
then move my paddle to the second, to the third slot,
and her friend in the second.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
She cut me.

Speaker 4 (52:19):
She paddle cut me. So I turn around and I go,
excuse me, what, Yah, I'm next, No, mom my pad,
I'm next.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
I said, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
You would put your paddles in front of my paddles. Oh,
I didn't realize. I thought it was right to left.
Oh you thought it was right to left.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
And you thought I put my paddle in the third slot,
which right to left would be like the seventh slot. Right. Oh,
she's my mistake, my mistake. So I get next.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
I go, I go to play next, and I'm playing
with one of the people that was on the court
with me when she came over to tell us how
many points we should be playing to.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
I said, can I tell you something about about pickleball
Tracy on the girl that came over and told us
to play to nine? She just pl cut me, And
he says, are you kidding? What happened? So I tell
him what happened. He goes, she paddle cut me on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
What Yeah, I saw her pick up my paddle and
move it out of the number two slot and she
put herself in the number two slot so that I
would be the number three slot. So this fucking pickleball Tracy,
she's paddle swapping.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
She didn't wait the extra three minutes to play.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
She's got to go up to people and tell them
to better hurry up, and she's fucking moving the paddles around.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
What the fuck? I didn't realize this one in every group.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
This is when we used to play video games in
the arcade, and every we used to put their quarters up.
First of all, there's no telling it was what a
stupid thing that was, because there's no telling if that
was your quarter of my quarter, they'll fucking.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Look at Hey, I know that's my quarter I ordered
on amous, but I feel like they put their quarter up.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
They put the quarter up before she she switched the
orders of the quarter the quarter order she puts people.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Yeah, for those of you that aren't from the generation
that Scary and I are from. Uh, video games used
to be a quarter.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
It's safe to say. Everybody listening got that visually, you
know what I'm saying. But back in the day, it
was just a quarter.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
One quarter. So you put your court and I gotta
put your credit card up. Now, I gonna put your
phone up because you're using Google. Line up the quarters
up across the glass screen where they where they write.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Yeah, Jemmy used to play with you know, we used
to try and play with a nickel the Nintendo Popeye
machine at the Palm Short Club. If you if you
if you slid the nickel in just right, you kind
of put a spin on it. First of all, the
slot was wide enough for a nickel, which which it
was basically, you know, you put your quarters in. The
quarters thinner than the nickel. But with this Popeye the

(55:06):
slot machine, the Popeye slot on the on the Nintendo
machines were always a little bit wider, so you could
get a nickel in there, and if you get it
in the right way, it registers as a quarter. Well,
we found out that it took the nickel every time,
so we were scamming the system and it got it
got around real quick from all the kids.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Oh my god, we get to play Popeye for a nickel.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Well when Big Bob Burmont unloaded later later that week,
unloaded the change trap where all the change falls and
saw the nickels, he fucking went ape shit. He went
ape shit because we were playing for a nickel. He
got a bunch of nickels, and uh they they rolled

(55:50):
the Popeye machine out of there.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
That was the last of that, well there was.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
It used to be a way people would would drill
a hole in a quarter or a slug and they
would put a string through it and they would they
would they would dip the quarter in the slot with
the string and it would trip the whisker wire it's called.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
It was called a whisker wire, like a like a right,
a little little All the quarter to do was pass
by it in order for a credit to register.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
It was very you had to like you had to
push it enough that if the whisker wire went down
enough it registered your game. But if you went too far,
you couldn't get it back up past the whisker wire
because the whisku I only went down and then leveled,
it wouldn't go up. So people would like hold it
on the string and lower it down and try to
get it because because you know, quarters were worth a
lot back then, if you had.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
A quarter, you're like, oh, I got a quarter, I
go play a video game.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yeah, And then then you would do as if you
hit it just past it at the whisker wire, you
would just pull it right back up.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
And you put the quarterback in your pocket.

Speaker 4 (56:43):
Well, listen, I again, I was a manager at Chuck
E Cheese back in the day, and we had a
giant ar cable like one hundred and ten one hundred
and ten video games, so I got to know how
to like fix them.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
And you know, as far as the whiskey, did you
find did you ever find like quarters? Some slugs, slung
slugs and quarters you found?

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Yeah, because it was supposed to be the tokens, right,
But we would find all kinds of shit in there
because people would throw it in to find a way
to hit that little trigger thing.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
But we know it was great. When people go, my
my token got stuck. It didn't register.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
You'd open it up and they have a slug and
that's why I got stuck, Like I didn't put that
in there and go, yeah you did.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
It's the last thing, the last thing. Yeah, like, no, no,
I put a token in really did? The token went
over the slug and this somehow in that little that
little tube. Yeah, oh no.

Speaker 4 (57:25):
I used to be able to fix skeboard machines. You know,
I say fix I enough to get them to work
again when something got jammed. I how to open them
up and fix them. You didn't know that about me, scared.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Did you? I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
You are one hell of a mister fix it. You're
a jack of trades and master of none. Also, I
have to bring a carpet to lyric I believe.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
My goodness.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
I think you should talk about say I was gonna say,
at some point you have talked about your Verizon experience.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Do I? Though I don't. I don't think I should here.
It's it's too common.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
The reason why we're podcasting on a Saturday. So let
me let me just set this up. We went to
do Slice Time on Monday, and we log in and
I see Scary and he's on the phone.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
He's arguing with Verizon. So we gotta do Slice Time
on Tuesday. Guys like, I can't. I got because he
thought he was.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Gonna get off. He thought he'd make a call of Verizon,
would all be fixed. Boom boom boom. We do Slice Time, okay.
So then he says, well, I can't do Slice Time Wednesday.
We can't do Slice Time. We couldn't do it the
Brooklyn Boys Wednesday, and then something happened. So then so, uh,
Thursday happened, and then he couldn't do it on Thursday.
He's like, let's just do a Friday. Let's lock it
in for Friday.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
Right after the show. I'll come home, we'll.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Bang it out on Friday. People will have a podcast
listen to on the weekend. It'll be great.

Speaker 5 (58:42):
Man.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
I said, all right, Friday, if that's what if that's
we're gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
But Brody also had a pickle an appointment with Pickleball Tracy,
so he had to leave it a certain time. So
we we definitely had to get the podcast done within
it be done by by two o'clock. And then I
had at an appearance last night for Toys for Tots,
not a sponsor, but a great charity will cause.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Yes okay, And so there was no way we were.
It was the point of no return.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
So I get home at eleven thirty in the morning,
eleven o'clock, and I'm sitting there and I'm like, all
right now, I'm going to solve my Verizon problem.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Right because we don't off the podcast till noon.

Speaker 4 (59:16):
He figures out and I got an hour, an hour,
an hour, So at twelve o'clock I text him I'm
ready to go, and I log in and I see
Scary and his pile of papers and his you know,
his gold microphone.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
And I was logged in were I was about to
hit the record button. I said, hey, Brody, I'm just
finishing up this call with Verizon, which I've been off
for the last an hour.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
I didn't think it was gonna take this. I'm back,
take care of me, like right now, we'll be good. Yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
So we were ready, we were ready to record the podcast,
ready to go, I said, I hear I heard a yes, Yes,
I'm back, So I go, okay. So then I got
the pleasure of listening.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
So this was at noon.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
By the time this call ended, well it didn't end.
Time I gave up was like one thirty one twenty
five something like that, and I was too late. You know,
I had an appointment, but I had to listen to
Scary try to get his phone because, as you guys know,
his first phone got sent to allegedly the wrong address,

(01:00:16):
stolen and sent back to uh to Verizon stolen. So
they they promised him they would overnight him a new phone.
This was Tuesday to Wednesday. Well, on Thursday, it didn't
show up. That's right, it hadn't shown up, show up,
and it said sent back again. So Scary called on
Friday at eleven o'clock figuring it'll take like twenty minutes
to get this problem solved. And so I'm listening to Scary.

(01:00:40):
I would say I would give Scary like a C
plus for his arguing skills. So I'm on the phone now.
He can hear me, like we're doing now, and I'm
going tell him that's not acceptable. He's like, that's not acceptable.
I said, tell him, tell him to get your supervisor.
And I would like to speak to your supervisor and
so I'm giving him, like what to say. I go
tell them because the guy says, well, we're going to
wave your activation sh fee of thirty five dollars. And

(01:01:01):
Scary's like, well, but you already promised me that. He was, yes,
and we're going to do that, he said, but you
haven't done it. So the guy's like, well, we have
to wait until you have a bill. You already paid you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Well, he said, we can't take thirty five dollars off
until you have a bill. So next month, you know,
we'll mark your account. I go, do not trust him,
get a case number and his name, and he's like,
I want a case number.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
So scares your pity everything I said. So the guy,
I said, Scary, you need to get something.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Fuck you San Diego. Yeah, I said, Scary, you need
to get something because even's not even the thirty five
dollars was for the first fuck up. You want one
hundred dollar credit for the second fuck up. So the
guy says, Scares, I got another thing. I want one
hundred dollars credit. And the guy's like, well, what would
what would the credit be for? He's like, so he goes,
I don't know how to put that in the computer.

(01:01:46):
I need a reason, so I go Scary time customer attention.
Scar goes customer retention.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
I said, that's right, I'm about to jump to AT
and T and you're about to lose me after being
a loyal customer for thirty plus years.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Right, I've been hung up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
I've spent about ten hours worth of time and effort,
anxiety and stress on the phone with fifteen different calls
to this fucking company.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
You try to get my phone. I had order.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
I had to cancel the order and re order it again.
My phone's still not here, and the same thing is happening.
It says it's an incorrect shipping label. When we went
over this that it is the correct shipping label. Something
is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Scary hit the brody music. What are you doing? You
are now? I'm not gonna do it. I don't want
to get it and worked up into a tizzy right now.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
So at some point finally the guy says, I'm going
to transfer to a supervisor. So Scary puts the phone
up to the microphone and says, Brody, you talk to
him for me. You talked to him on my behalf.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
I'm done. It's been two hours, right, So I said, you, no, scary,
You're on your own. I can't. I can't. I have
enough of this in my own life, and I got
to go. So I left.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
So scary an hour and a half. So you're on
the phone flight over two hours? Yes, what I don't
even know the ending of this. The guy happened. So
the guy that you heard told me this is not
going to go the way of the last phone. He
said the phone let. Yes, this is the phone.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
The phone is definitely going to be delivered today.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
We know it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
I tracked it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
It's going I said, look yesterday, yesterday, and I said, listen, sir,
with all due respect, I have the notes. I have
the notes from the last couple of times this happened.
And it followed the ups, the ups, delivery line statements.
You know, they win the tracking progress, the progress thing

(01:03:33):
said the same exact thing, in the same order. I said,
until and then until the next thing was it was
my phone was back in Texas. So I said, so
it's up to the point where it says it's leaving
Mayonne and it's going back to sender incorrect label.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Cannot do anything about this. You can't hold it. It's
in Texas. I said. Guess what I said.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
I promise you. I swear as I'm standing here, sir
right now. Even though it says the phone is going
to be delivered by two pm today, which was an
hour away, I said, I promise you, the very next
line is going to be tomorrow morning when it's gonna
say shipped out of bayone back to Texas. And I'm
not gonna have my phone. I said, it's not out

(01:04:19):
for delivery. It doesn't say shipped. I said, it says shipped,
but it doesn't say it's going to be delivered to
It says this is wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
He goes, trust me, sir, this time is going to
be different. And guess what I was right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
The phone as of this morning, David Brody is on
its way back to Texas. It left bayone. It is
going back and back to where Texas. I don't think so,
and so I had to call later in the day.
I called and I got my refund. The guy refunded
me my money. So now I've been refunded a second time.
And the phone had the quote wrong address label, which

(01:04:59):
it didn't because he even verified on their end that
it was the correct address label, and he says it's
something with the UPS system that it's not matching. So
because it doesn't match, it's not going to you. The
phone is going back again. So the next guy later
in the day, he said, listen, I'm sorry if you
were misled earlier in the day, but the phone is

(01:05:19):
going to go back to where it was sent from.
So and as of this morning, sure enough, it's gone.
So here I am now without It's like they don't
want me to have the iPhone sixteen. And you know,
I know it's a first world problems, boogie problems, call
them what you want, but I want the latest phone.

(01:05:41):
I want the one with the AI technology built into Siri.
I want Siri to be smarter because Seri's really stupid
right now. So yeah, so there you have it. So
that is exactly what I want. I want my phone
with the AIG intelligence artificial intelligence, not artificial intelligence intelligence.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
Here's what I want to tell you. Yeah, because of this,
you're definitely not going to get out of jury duty.
Why is that, Well, because Verizon already gave you your colonoscopy.

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
Apparently very funny. Anyway, I don't want to bore everybody
with it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
But the point is we didn't give you a podcast
yesterday because this has been an ongoing saga.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
Right because Scary can't upgrade, upgrade his two thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Something is wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
UPS has something that doesn't match, and it doesn't like
because when the phone.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Gets changed the address to the radio station and get
it there. Fuck it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
I went to the Apple store and I got it
through Apple and now it's gonna be here Tuesday. So
fuck everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Now you be on the phone.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
I'm fighting with Apples. Just no, Apple does the right thing.
Why didn't they just hand you the phone?

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
I wanted it?

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
I want to go pick it up at a UPS store. Sorry, sir,
they the UPS says they can't do that. I'm like, yeah,
but they own the freaking stores.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
But why didn't Apple just give you the phone in
the store. They don't have it in stock. It's got
to be sent. It's one of the it's the phone
with the one terabyte of U of storage, okay, because
my Samsung I get it right, that is whatever. Yes,
I need one terribiley storage because of all the videos
I do and all yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
So wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, So now
is Verizon no longer sending you the phone? Have you
canceled that completely? Yep, it's canceled, but you still need
to get your credit. Yeah, they credited me. I got
much now. They credited me my full amount plus a
couple of hundred dollars. But how funny would it be?
And what would I do if the phone shows up? Well,
you give it to me because of all the help

(01:07:25):
I gave you, and then I'll sell a few on
eBay at half And.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
It's not gonna go down that way. They're gonna track it.
Then they're gonna recharge me. Fuck you. I got it
from that they got. They're not tracking the two that
was stolen by the by the somebody. I'm not gonna say.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
I don't know if they said it was the first
one was returned and eventually made it way back.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Who knows slices? Yes or no?

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
Does scariest phone from Apple arrive on time without any problems?

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Yes? I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
All right, Hello, cool Jay, you're going back to call
It's going back to Cali. Oh, I got a quick
scambony before we leave.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
I didn't know we were ready to leave. Then I
have a question. This is a hilarious scamboni which I
saw on TikTok. This is one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
This isn't a buyer beware one. This is a scheme
on how you could make some money. I guess it
was like two French or Italian guys in a European city.
They said, here's a way to make money without doing
anything at all. Do you know those people that pose
They paint themselves with statues like the Statue of Liberty,

(01:08:33):
and they stand still in the middle.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Of a square.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Yeah, the gold the gold guy, the silver cowboy, and
they just stand there, not moving, and they just have
a basket in front of them, sitting on the floor.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
And people like, oh so cool people taking pictures. Picture
as much as they paint themselves. We get it right,
thank you. So these two guys said, watch this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
They went to a store, a craft store, and they
got like a dummy and they painted it silver and
lifelike like a real person, like like, and they put
it into a pose and it looked like a real
person that was painted and is standing. They put it
in the middle of a square and put a basket
in front of it, and then they went to have
a couple of espressos about one hundred feet away, sitting

(01:09:18):
there in the square at the cafe, sipping on espresso,
and the third guy is filming them, and he's like, look,
look at these people.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
And it literally is a montage of people.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
They're watching from a distance as their dummy is making money.
People think it's a real person, fucking brilliant idea brilliant scamboni,
and people are taking selfies with it. People are trying
to like, poke it, you know that poked it. But
it has clothing on too. They painted over the clothing
and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
It was fucking It.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Looked like a person painted themselves and is standing still
and in a reasonable position, and then the basket in front.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
They're making money. They made three hundred dollars in about
two hours. Did one of the did the blonde girl
from the TikTok video throw quarters in?

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Yeah, she threw the empty rolls only, But isn't that wonderful?
Isn't that awesome? And the guy goes, he goes, We'll
be back here tomorrow. They literally were sitting there having
coffee and joking around with each other and and the
camera would just cut to the people that they're watching,
like a few yards away.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
They went for coffee though spray painted.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
The two guys, the two guys were just regular plain
clothes and they're like, okay, so they weren't ever part
of it. They just had the guy. They they they sprayed, no,
they painted over.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
They bought the materials like the quire gold guy and
a dummy and silver. There was just a guy in silver.
There was there was the dumb, the dummy in silver
and making money making it. Sitting with there with with
the with the with the basket, and the two guys
who created it were just sitting there at a table,
a small table and just like sipping on espresso and
they're like, this is awesome, this is We're not doing

(01:10:56):
a damn thing, and we're just we have a dummy
out there pretending it's a real person, and everybody's it
was a man.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
They got it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
They bought a madic. They got a mannequin in there
and they dressed it up and they painted its silver.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
Why don't you do that and see if you can
borrow that for jury duty and see if that guy
can sit in on jerry duty for you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Okay, So I got two things real quick before we
got here.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
Number one, I want to get this right. I want
to give credit to the name Chris Finn. If you
know Chris, Chris sends a lot of d ms on Instagram.
He saw your video of you and the rest of
the Morning Show all got Funko pops. Spa New York
Mets Funko pops.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
Oh yeah, I got the New York I got mister Mett. Yeah.
So he wrote to me, did Scary get you a
Mister Met Funko pop today? I hope? So if he's
your friend, did you get me one? So the fun go.
A plenty of people on the Morning Show that aren't
Mets fans that you could have, like, can I have
that one for this?

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
So Sharon Smith, she's the Funko Pop queen. She she
listens to the show often, actually she doesn't listen to
the podcast. And she said, look, I want to do
a Funko pop for every member of the of the
Morning Show. So she did a lot of thematic ones,

(01:12:15):
like you know, Danielle got the Maleficent one because she's
into that. Nate got a Game of Thrones once.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
It wasn't a pile of met ones. No, no, no,
these are one of one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
She had an artist do the specific artwork on the
side that has the certificate.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
So I have mine here. How long am I selling
that for you? You're not selling this one? This is
This means a lot to me. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
So yeah, so yeah, last thing, you know, I always
say rule number one of correcting people be corrected.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:12:43):
So the Mets had a game against the Braves, was
the last game of the season, and allegedly they were
going to pitch Chris Sale, s al e the best,
one of the top two pitchers in all of baseball. Well,
sometime after game one of the double header on Monday,
he announced he had back spasms and he wasn't pitching.
But the guys on MLB Network were talking about him

(01:13:05):
before that news came out, and they put a video
off of saying, Wow, the Mets man have to face
Chris Sale in game two. So this again, the video
came out before the news came out. So this guy writes,
Sales isn't pitching. Idiots will help you guys out with
the show, like in the words, let me help you
idiots out. You didn't know that he's not pitching. He

(01:13:26):
has backspasms, right, So you know me, I'm an Internet dick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
And you're you're a grammar police, right, So I wrote
his name is Sale, I'll help you out.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
So that was mine. That was the highlight of my day.
And then one last thing. I love how you get
off on the most insignificant things. I have this, this, this,
so on on. I'm still calling it twitter on Twitter.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
Remember I told you they were the the the Twitter
bot whores were like all of them had four thousand
followers and they would like.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
Old posts of yours.

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):
Yeah, well the new the new thing now is the
same thing is going on, but now all the bots
have like one follower. They're not doing the four thousand
followers right, and their names are very creative. And I
was gonna like screenshot all of these Russian not Russian,
these foreign bots that are liking my old posts because

(01:14:21):
they have like weird names, and I was gonna save
them and read them all.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
But I forgot to do that. But one came up yesterday.
I don't know if you could see this on camera,
and you see this scary I'm gonna hold it up
to the camera. You can't see it. Her name is
White Lamar l A M A R. White Lamark. She's
got me thinking, Lamar Jackson fan No, got me thinking,
is she the second Lamar? And they had to white

(01:14:46):
Lamar because because the the Harkers and the Russian bots
knew a Lamar already, So she's white Lamar.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
That made me think, to you, thank you, that's awesome. Yeah,
all right, I'll have to put that up. I'm gonna
put that up on social media. What Lamar was following me? Hey, listen,
just a vacation next week, though for scheduling purposes, expect
of a.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
Slice time later in.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
The week, like a Wednesday Thursday slicetime, and expect another
Brooklyn Boys episode the following Monday twenty the week of
twenties when we're running repeats on the Big Show and
I'm on vacation. So keep in mind, we're not cheating
you out of an episode, because that would be that
week we are on vacation and we wouldn't be getting

(01:15:35):
an episode anyway. So we're just stretching it, all right,
and letting people catch up. Because I got to tell
you something, people are not caught up. I'm watching the numbers, folks.
Some of you are slacking.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
Just saying.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
All right, you got to your system. You're good now,
I'm good were good night, Slice, you got homework?
