Yes, that's us. How you doing, David, I'm doing well, Anthony.
Is it weird that I just called you by your
first name? Uh? You calling me that? Yes?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't think in the entire time I've ever really
known you that I've ever called you David. You did,
you did when I first started. Yeah, well that was
in the beg, you know, that was our humble beginnings.
But like for years now, I've called you Brody.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We can't ever call you. I don't call you Anthony never. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It was almost like I felt like I was addressing
the wrong person when I was calling you called I'm like, David,
it feels weird looking at you through this glorified zoom
camera and I called you David, and I'm like, oh, wait,
that doesn't sound right because your face doesn't match David.
When I look at your face, I'm like, that's not David,
(01:18):

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I don't know, man, it was the only song I
really I only knew that one album from eighty seven.
That was the album All the Hits nineteen eighty seven
really shit A wild guess anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So uh so right, Oh, I'm so embarrassed. Do you
do this online? Yes, I didn't tell you my story though.
Somebody called me brody. Someone calls you brody? Who at pickleball?
Wait a day, what's that brody?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Like?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Wow, weird? But he's not. He doesn't know what that
I know.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
He wasn't trying to make it like a if you know,
you know thing, like I know your brody kind of
thing by calling you.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He just uh wow, how did you respond? Don't call
me by my last name around these parts?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I didn't. I didn't say that. By the way, the
White Snake album is called White Snake, but I think
the import is nineteen eighty seven, but that's the year
it came out. Anyway. Uh yeah, I was just like
what he said, I called you by your last name.
I have a very My last name tends to get
people to call me that. I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, around these parts, all the Anthonys are called by
the last names. That's how I became scary scary every
scary for the wind, you know, all the you know
Anthony LaSala is lsala you know, well.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They could they couldn't call you Brooklyn Anthony because it
was like twelve of you that would be Brooklyn Anthony.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Right and then and then, but all the common name people,
the John's, the Mikes, the Vinnie's, the Vetos, the sALS,
all of us.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
The big the big eight names of Brooklyn, the big
of our old neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, oh so this here we go on a tangent.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh, I hate those, Joe, did you obviously obvious paches?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know, but obviously the drone story is nationwide, even though.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
There are you going to drone on about the story now.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, even though they're being flown all over you know,
New Jersey. They've been spotted around New Jersey, New York,
the Jersey Shore and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But it counts as New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, that whole area. Nobody knows where they're coming from.
There's all these there's all these thoughts. Everyone's uh, you know,
speculating as a vamp to try and.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well, why are you talking about that? Everybody now is
filming them. Yes, Like, first of all, your video is
not original anymore. We've all seen a hundred videos of
the drone. Second of all, yeah, I would say at
least a third of the time they're posting videos of
private planes. Yeah, yeah, planes.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, but there's definitely some some drone footage for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So oh absolutely, But say we get it this drones.
They're all over the place. We get it. Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
They somebody sent me this and I'm dead from it.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
This is what drone footage. This is real video and
audio folks, great on an audio podcast of.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
How Staten Island people respond and react to the drones.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Did you see this video? No, but I imagine it's
with profanity a lot of it. Yeah, this is this
is great, This is great. Get the fuck out of
my airspace. It's meat. I could doom. That's see. Ain't
that's the drones? A drone can't go that high?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Brondsted me, what is that? That? Ain't no fucking plane
as no fucking plane, Dan Claus.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yo, it's moving, it's going back and forth. It's going off. Yeah,
it's going off. You going on. You can't get no
light on.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That is footage. Now, these are people. These are somebody
had the phone, like you know, towards this sky.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
They were.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was definitely talking about the drones that everyone's been seeing.
And the camera's all shaky, and one.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Of those guys was named Tony if not three, this
is and this is on It was on Staten Island.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
According to the video, it really was authentically on Staten Island.
And I would have to agree hearing their accents, that's
that's Stetton Island.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So Iklahoma.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No, at first I thought it was. At first I
thought it was like this is how Staten Island people
would hear the drones and see the drone. This is
their commentary. But you know, because in a lot of
times it would be like a fake, it would be
like a joke. No, that is an actual footage from
someone because you know, I know how I know is
I see the marry on the half shell out in
the front lawn, and then and then Santa Claus and
(05:57):
the reindeer and the lights and all that, and then
they have the whole the houses are row houses all
lit up for Christmas. It definitely looks like a Staten
Island house. So how great is that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's great? Yeah, I'd hit it with a bat if
it came lower. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I was mentioning earlier about mistaken identity. Did you ever
do this?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You ever post something on social and you tag the
wrong person?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And you I mean, you're with the person, with a
couple of people, you take a picture and then you
you post it and then you tag. Last night, I
was at Z one Hunter's jingle Ball, which came to
Madison Square Garden, and I was posting a picture with
one of our sales people, Jesse, and I like Jesse.
Jesse came up to me. It was with Garrett, so
(06:46):
we I'll take a picture real quick. I said, sure,
we took a selfie and then she sends it to
me and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
This is cute.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm gonna put this up in my story right now.
So I post it up in my story. I tag Jesse,
I tag Gart right, and then I tag who I
thought was our friend Scott Berlin.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
His wife Stacy.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So because I saw Stacy last night and to my credit,
she was wearing something similar, and she looked similar with
long black hair. So and I wrote, at Stacy Berlin
or you know whatever, and I attacked her.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, why don't you give her home address too?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Listen, she's she's awesome anyway, point is she's so. I
put it up, and then Jesse was like.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
What are you doing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I said, huh, that's not Stacy, that's Stephanie. I said, Stephanie.
I'm like, oh my god, and I took the tag back.
I deleted the post and I reposted the picture with
the correct tags.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's one of those face palm moments. But I don't
know if I caught it early enough for Stacy to
not see it or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
So I don't know. I Stacy saw it and got insulted.
But all middle aged white women looked the same to you.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But isn't it weird that, I mean, maybe just in
out a line of work, and maybe just because I
was at an event where there's so many people in
my face and everything's a blur that I don't remember
taking a picture I took. I remember taking a picture,
I just didn't remember that it was one person and
not the other. I really thought I was taking a
picture with our friend's wife, and uh, kind of embarrassing
(08:17):
now because I kind of I don't know who I'm insulting.
You know, one person's gonna feel offended of those.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Two, but still better than doing it in person. I
did that today again at pickleball today. There are two
guys that are very heavy. They're not related and our friends.
They're just both very heavy. Right, let's just call them
Pete and Charlie. Okay, I see Pete. I'm playing with Pete,
(08:46):
and I go, hey, nice shot, Charlie. Now is that
beefsteak Charlie. Yeah, I don't think very good. I don't
think he heard me, but clearly the only way you
would miss up those two names as you were thinking,
that's one of the fat guys I'm playing with. Yeah,
So I felt bad, but I don't think he heard me.
(09:06):
And then like I immediately was like, let's go a
get Pete. Yeah, Like I covered it because I realized
what I had done. Yeah, So, uh, I did the say.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I did that to a a comedian that was in
studio with that friend, Jim Kurt, earlier in the week.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
He had a hat on, he.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Had glasses, and he had like scruff beard and stuff
like that. And he's like, hey, he wasn't nice to
meet you. And I coul date and our friend Trevor
introduced me to who it was, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
you goes hey, what's up? I said? I said, oh,
and and then I said, okay, cool. I'm like, ah, well,
I a good seeing you, Jim. I thought I was
(09:46):
referring to Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It was you. It was Tom Poppa. Tom was getting
to like Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
No, but like the way he had like a coat
on and a hat, and.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
That'll do it. Yeah. It takes the glass blonde, balding
guy and looks like Tom Poppa's on any of those things.
And he goes Tom. I'm like, oh, yeah, of course Tom. Yes.
But I'm like, do now you're gonna tell me that
me mistaken one old Jets quarterback from behind another one
is terrible. But to the face of someone you had
(10:20):
been introduced to, you called him the name of a
comedian who looks nothing like him.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Comedians look alike. No, I just like I had Jim
Gaffigan on the brain. I'm like, oh, all right, Jim.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You're lucky. You didn't say like if he said to you, uh,
imagine you took a picture of him and tag Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Right, so well, I mean, you know, and it's not
even Stacy Berliner.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He can't even get in my brain. He can't even
like he can't even know that.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
He does not know that I he does not know
that I was thinking of was Jim gaffickan because they never.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Saw one syllable guy's name, you like Tom Jimmy, like
it's something short, it's Tom. You know Tom. Papa's very
good friends with Seinfeld. They did a TV show.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Togain right, well, you know he it was, but you
know how like you know, it gets all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's like, you know, Jimmy Fallon, you know with Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Kimmel, they get yeah, but you call him Jimmy, right,
but they always people mix up the Jimmy's a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah. But if he said, if you said to Jimmy
Fallon and thinking he was Jimmy Kimmel, you said hey Jimmy,
and you're like, oh fuck, I met and sorry, Jimmy,
I meant Jimmy. I was thinking to Jimmy Kimmel, it's
Jimmy it's fine.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Who, by the way, was at does he Jigglebawl yesterday
as a surprise guest Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Fallen Ball of course, because he's always got a booker
record to promote.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Well, he was promoting uh you know, well, rap Me
was last year's single that he did with Megan Trainer,
which is a Christmas song. But he's got a new song,
he's got another children's book. I think he's also got
his own channel on Sirius XM. And he's got that
TV special that he that ran on NBC after the
tree lighting where he had a video with the Megan Trainer.
It's called Wrap Me Up. So she did that song
(12:00):
as part of her set and he came out.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Which is cool. Dude. Jimmy is is merch man him,
He really is. He's the best. I love him for it.
He's so nicest guy. So all right, and I.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Will I'll tell you this as we go to break
and the slices will appreciate this. So we were in
that big broadcast room.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Hold one second, did you take a picture with Jimmy
found not last night? Now, I have plenty, I got
plenty of pictures. I have had an opportunity, Jimmy Kimmel
very good. I had had a chance to.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But we were in this broad broadcast area backstage where
there's all these lights facing a stage, a little mini stage,
and that's where Elvis, you know, does the stand ups,
where he does interviews whatever. And then once once they
dropped the microphones, explaining to the slices, once they dropped
the mics, that's where they take.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
The pictures right then and there.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So everyone was taking taking turns taking pictures with Jimmy.
And I didn't want to go up there. I'm like,
you know, it's hot under these lights. He's got to go.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I don't care. I have a lot of pictures with Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Seriously, I had, I could have walked up on that
stage and taken one. There was an opportunity insteady now,
but pause. Last week Jimmy came on the show and
a lot of slices who listened to the Big Show
heard Elvish the weird segment.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yes, Elvis said, you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Know, Scary gets very nervous over his child childhood idols
weird Al. And the way that came up is because
weird Al is featured on the New Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Kimmel, Oh my god, I did it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Jimmy Fallon album right with with with the the They
did a.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Poke on New Year's E've Poka together yea, of course.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So when it came up on the show, Elvis was like,
you know, Scary gets very nervous around weird now. And
then he played the sound of me talking about weird
al and stumbling all over my words like I am
right now, you.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Know, and Fallon got like he got like beligerent with
you that you were such a dude. Yeah, so here
we are now.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Fast forward a week later, he's up on this little
mini stage, yes, last night taking all these pictures.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
He comes off the stage and comes over to me.
I didn't want it. Wasn't even gonna say hello to him.
I was kind of in the background.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
He goes, he comes walking over to me, he goes
Scary hugging and kissing me, and I'm like, oh, this
is some great street cred by everybody's seeing Jimmy come
to me and him at the airport.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Where everybody you like called me out like scary, sim
what's up? And then very nice.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm thinking like, okay, that's fun. And then he turns around.
He goes, hey, man, did you get to meet weird
Al yet?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
And I'm like, oh, no, not yet, he goes.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
He goes, You're gonna stumble all over your words when
you meet weird Al, like you embarrassed me in front
of the whole room of page.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
He should have. He should have you on the show
with weird Al and play the audio. That would be clutch.
You should have said that to him, that, Jimmy, because
you know we it is gonna was gonna come on.
Of course he is. Of course he is. You should have.
You should have the people at the morning show who
reach out to Jimmy and book him on the show,
reach out and say that'd be a great bit. I
(14:47):
bet you, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Jimmy would have me on its off, not as a guest,
but obviously like one of the he'll cut to me
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, he should have you on in studio to meet
we at Al and then play the clip. It'd be
great for national. And so, by the way, when Elvis
set the clip up, he goes, oh, this was a
clip from somebody else's interview. Scary jumped into someone else's interview.
It was my interview at weird Al with you. That's right,
it was. It was a brook who grabbed that audio audio.
It was a Brooklyn Boys. It was a Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
No it was not.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It was you, me and Ronnie interviewing weird Al. Oh
was it for the off air show. No, it was you,
me and Ronnie interviewing weird Al. Just just couldn't interview
him interview right, because he was available and and he
didn't he didn't fit with Elvis's schedule. And was that's right,
that's how we got that audio. And you said, Brodie,
delete that. I got to delete that. I gotta edit
(15:38):
that out without airing that. I said, okay, so I
I What I did was I bounced the audio out
of pro Tools, meaning I converted it to an MP
three onto the network drive. I sent it to another
studio so he couldn't get the original audio, and then
he edited what was a copy of the original audio,
and he's like, oh, that'll never air. No one over here,
that that's embarrassing. And of course Ronnie and I already
grabbed it, so it's it's permanent audio. Because I thought
(15:59):
to hide it and duplicate it real quick. Yeah, wow,
thanks for jumping in on someone else's interview.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's so speaking of ze one hunter jingle Ball, I
went to shopping. I said, you know what, this is
the one time of year I splurge. You know me, Brody,
I'm not. I don't have a passion for fashion.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I just oh, oh, that's you have a passion for
bougie fashion. Sometimes I do sometimes, but one hundred dollars
tie dyed shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I go seasons at a time without buying new clothes,
and then it's like, okay, and you know people, you
know when they go on vacation the whole summer and
then they put all the pictures up and they call
it a photo dump, and they.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Here's a here's a November dump. That's me. Make sure
you dump.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, that's me with clothing I'm going to buy. I'm like,
I gotta just do it all at once, everything like
put all in Well, yeah, but that makes no sense.
Scary because the slices hear me out, what scary go
and spends a ton of money on clothing for jingle Ball.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Right, That's where I was. That's where I was going
with this hold on and for the holidays. Then he
does his weight loss program in January. Then he's too
small for six months, nothing fits him, so it's a
year before you can wear this stuff again. And he's like,
that's a year old. I'm not wearing it right. Well,
I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Because I don't spend a whole lot during the year
on clothes and whatever the case.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
When it comes to occasions like jingle Ball, I want
to do something. Sure, outragees abroad a nice outfit for
jingle Ball.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Everybody, everybody has to do something, you know, because you
know we aren't. We're going to get a look that night,
maybe get a moment and.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You're on the page photo ops.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, his old kinds of things, and you know, you know,
you got to compete with Elvis. Elvis is always looking sharp,
always best dressed in the room. And I'm not trying
to upstage him in any way, but.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I hand upstage.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But you don't like, if you don't try, you're gonna
look that much worse next to him. So you just
got to kind of come close.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So you don't. I've been a designated fugly friend.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Right, So you want to see like you can You're
you're kind of in the ballpark and competing. Uh so
I basically went to I went to Bloomingdal's. I'll tell you,
I don't care not a sponsor. And every time I
go to Bloomingdal's, I always and ladies you probably know this,
maybe you guys some guys too.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Bloomingdale's in the in the tour section, they have a
you know wait, no wait it was even Marcus. It
was not Bloomingdal's even even worse.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So the worst customers they do have, they do have
a sale rack where they throw shoes, where they line
all the shoes up next to each other on a
rack with all right, but all of the shoes together,
you know, in random sizes, and have a party where
you know, you don't get all the special treatment of
(18:50):
the lither sofa area with the with the rug and
the sit down there, but this is the area where
the sail rack and the clearance is. So to humor
my self, I always go there first, like maybe they
have my size today, brody. When if you ever went
to a clearance rack of anything and found you're like,
oh my god, not only is this my size, but
(19:11):
it's awesome and I want to buy it.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Hold on a second, did you just ask me how
often I go to the clearance rack.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No, how often, Brody. Both things need to be true.
You go to the clearance rack and you find your size.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Okay, see how often you go to Okay, But here's
the thing about the clearance rack slices. Back me up here.
If you see a seven, not a size seven, but
on one to ten a seven on the clearance track,
it's a twelve, you might not have bought it at
full price, Like, that's not really my style. You see
it on the clearance track, You're like, oh, it's my size.
(19:44):
I'm buying it when I when I go to Nordstrom rack, yeah,
I buy shit that fits me, whether I like it
or not. So yeah. And if you if you nail it,
if you see something, yeah you gotta buy it.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So I.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
But the thing is, I never see anything in myself.
It's almost like a joke.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm like, all right, So I walked into Neemen and
I said, let me go to the clearance rack, let
me see what they have first before I started spending
all this crazy. I mean even but but you even
know that with Kature crazy, You know these designers, even
though it's on the clearance rack, you're still playing paying
crazy money for it, So and again I don't splurge
on this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Usually I don't own anything like this. So wait a minute, Wait,
don't you own I got a thousand dollars pair of sneakers.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That was last year's pair, the Alexander McQueen. Yeah, Alexander
McQueen and I have a pair of Christian Lubertons.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Right, well, plice is just a friendly reminder of which
one of us is the bougie bastard.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It's an annual purchase, okay. And I don't own anything
besides those things. Well, I go to the clearance rack
and all, a good thing you made?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Didn't throw those out? And oh my god, lo and
behold lower, behold stun. Can you spell? Can you spell
coutur c oh u t u r e close enough?
I think that's it. It's co ou definitely c o
u t u r e. Right.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You tested me, you know, I came in third place
in the uh first grade spelling bee in PS two
A four. Really, yeah, don't fuck with me.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
C o U t u r e. Right, it has
to be anyway. So I go to the clears. I
can't get through the story. We have a lot of cover.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
No spell it, you know, anyway, so they never have
my size, and then I see in the size twelve
section they actually have.
Speaker 3 (21:34):

whites and silvers in it, sequin it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
This is fucking These are the shoes.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
These are statements sneakers right here, and I'm gonna already
see them.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Okay, so here's the big reveal. They're in a bag.
They come up thrown bag. That's an old it's that's
an old dag. Here you go about that.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Oh uh, look at the spikes on those and they're
the red bottom. There's the red bottoms bottom, and it's
white and the stripe the stripe is gray. It's like
a great it's like a gray suede. Yeah, yes, it's
mostly by the way, it's not lot lit up here,
but under the light, these are the sequence sparkle.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
And then there's they are these they are these silver spikes.
So there's sparkling sequins. And let me tell you, you
walk into a room with these people. Are whoa your
shoe game? Strong? Like cave man? You got those on
sale at Neeman Marcus. I'm gonna say, looking at them,
I'm gonna say you paid these are well, these are
(22:44):
Christian lubetons. By the way, they're red bottoms. Yep. I'm
gonna say you paid somewhere between ninety five and one
oh five. What that's about what I would pay for those? Yeah,
I would say for sneakers. Brody, come on, man, are
you that? Are you that out of touch? Get the
(23:06):
fuck out. I just saw them. I'm looking at them.
They look to me like I'm out of one twenty times.
Don't even get at don't eat. You said that on sale?
I asked them. Not knock out of here. I would say,
not on sale, maybe one ninety five two hundred. Shut up.
Well there goes that conversation. Well, how much did you
pay for those things? They're sneakers? You step in shiit
(23:28):
on all.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well, they were marked down over fifty to sixty percent.
I got a bargain on these things. So once you
pay two fifty, fuck you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Four hundred, four hundred and fifty dollars. That's the original price. Asshole.
This is Christian Lubaton red bottoms. These are authentic. Nike
is better.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
This isn't a Chinatown fake. These aren't the ones that
fell up the back of a truck in Brooklyn. Three
hundred four point fifty. Dude, These are marked down. These
are eleven one hundred dollars sneakers, which I which I
which I never would have bought for.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Eleven hundred Buy a car for eleven hundred dollars? What
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Once again, as I take this back to the beginning,
I don't splurge very often. I own very little designer
stuff on a high end level. I mean, women can
relate with the handbags. Why are you throwing women under
the bottom because they access their eyes. They know these,
they know these brands, Dudekers, they're loubies, baby bloobies, bottom
(24:35):
of sneakers, loubis.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Well, yeah, that's the thing. See that's what sucks.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Nobody sees the red bottom, right but they but they
always I got so many people like those are Christian Lubittons.
Like how you know, like we know a Loubi when
we see one. So they're like, God, lift your lobes,
lift your fuck, lift your foot. So I lifted up
my foot like see, they're like, Dad, I can show
me those red bottoms.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
You know, this is like Cardi b These is rare
at bottoms. These his bloody shoes. Come on, Yeah, that's
what I'm going for.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
That.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
That's that's the this is the this is the signature.
I mean, dude, Sex and the City. Uh, what's that?
What's that novel? That? The sex novels all those years ago.
Shoes with the red bottoms are shiny, but this is
a sneaker. Scary the bottom of your shoe there's still rubber.
There's still rubber on the bottom. Well, the problem rubber,
(25:27):
red robber, red robber. We don't want brody over red rubber.
That's red Rover. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Anyway, the point is my doctor's name. I saw, I splurged,
I wore them and I owned the night. But the
problem is saw you coming a mile away.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They never ever have my size in these clearance items,
So I said, how can I not if they're marked
down from eleven hundred to four fifty. This is a
frigging bargain right now, and I'm gonna be able to
get I'm gonna be built. Walk away with these frigging sneakers.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I want them what slices?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Leave it.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Talk back then if you agree with this theory, they don't.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
The stores try to sell them for eleven hundred, so
they can mark them down to four hundred, and it
only cost them like twenty maybe ten bucks to make them.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Okay, sweatshop, And that's that's the scam. Oh my god,
they're marked down from eleven hundred. The worst buy those,
the worst bind those new for eleven hundred. And here's
the problem with the whole thing. Even though they fit
me and they were twelve.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
As I was walking in them and trying them on,
I'm like, mmm, this little this area right here where
my like like my potential bunion. This could be a
problem right here because it's kind of rubbing against the
side of my toe.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Ap. You know what, fuck it. So I'll buy them anyway. Well,
you put uncomfortable shoes for four hundred dollars, yeah, because dude,
they look good.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
See, And this is what this is how I'm wrapping
the whole thing up, Okay, And I'm explaining, and I'm
going to sympathize and empathize with women who say if
it don't hurt, it don't look good. Or the women
that say, you know that, they buy these expensive shoes
and then and then their feet are and their feet
are killing them at the end of the night, and
(27:11):
they're like, And guys are always like, why the fuck
would you buy the most uncomfortable shoes?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Why would you buy them if they hurt?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And the truth of the matter is I fell into
that same abyss, that same trap that women fall into
when they buy uncomfortable shit because it looks good. And
I gotta say, I got all the compliments in the world,
but now here I am a day later. My feet
are a cut up. I've got bandages over my toes.
So I know, I know what it's like, ladies, to
(27:39):
walk a mile in your shoes, literally literally you know
how many? I did more than my ten thousand steps
yesterday because I was walking around the Jingle Ball Arena,
I was going back and forth. I must have did
twenty thousand steps. So I want to sell those now,
you should sell them. No, I walked more than I
normally would fucking walk brody and on a daily and
of all days, that's the day I got to put
(27:59):
on these more the most uncomfortable shoes of my life.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
But you don't want to wear them again. Oh, you're
gonna wear them because theyre dead trendy.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Okay, So because they're so outlandish looking, I showed you
a picture. I probably should post a picture two of them.
These aren't shoes you just wear every day. These are
these are things you wear no, but visually like they
they're loud. So these are things that you wear on
a special occasion. Lights, pick ball shoes. No, they're sneakers,
(28:26):
but they don't they don't. Uh, they don't walk like
a sneaker. These walk like like uncomfortable shoes. But you
know what if you're on stage at at freaking the
world's most popular arena, and you're there and the world's
most famous arena, similar word, okay, the most famous arena,
you're gonna you're gonna do something special, You're gonna splurg,
(28:48):
you're gonna buy some and you're gonna you're gonna be
on stage being viewed by so many people and like,
oh scary, you know you know, so there, so there,
so there.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
So I think you think the crowd was able to
look up on stage up and see the shoes you
can't see the shoes. Yeah some people could. Yeah, no,
you could, of course. I hope those people appreciated your
four hundred dollars on sales shoes. I don't know. Listen,
this is not me. I don't do this. They couldn't.
This second quart is scary. Can still wear them. Maybe
(29:17):
if you lose a little weight in your feet, they'll
fit better. You should tell doctor you know who that
you'd like to gear the program towards toe weight loss
and cut down your parabins. Maybe you can lose some
some toe loss.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Or I could go to that that crazy ass doctor
that cuts women's feet just so they could fit into
the shoe.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Oh yeah, the cinderellas that happened in Cinderella. You're the
original version of Cinderella. The women were cutting their feet
to make them feet fit in that slipper.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It wasn't there a thing that that people that there
are women that go under this crazy surgeries just they
will move.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
A toe, just to move a pinky toe just fit
in shoe. That actually happens in real life. It does.
We've seen it before. Seems normal like that seems like
a oh, these gloves don't fit right I'm gonna take
a pinky of and Brody all right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
(30:13):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell a story. So
story time with David brit story Time, because it's my turn.
Now you had a couple of good ones. I was
going to a store in the mall. And you know,
malls have entrances, like five or six places you can
park near an entrance, and so I called. I wanted
(30:36):
to know which mall entrance would make the most sense
because online doesn't have a good map. Right in case
you're like, why you just look on the map. They
don't have a good one for this mall. So I
called and I said, Hey, I'm coming there. Uh what
entrance should I come in? And what floor are you on?
And she says, I said, you're on the first floor,
(30:59):
second floor. The mall only has two floors. Now, this
mall scary, you know the mall Livingston Mall, which is
going out of business a.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Business and looks really sad if you look at for
the TikTok videos. Holy shit, the only thing they have
is a Christmas tree and J C.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Penny. This mall is like ninety percent. As people's leases
are up, they move out.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
It's so sad brody. There's like a barn there's like
a Barnes and Noble, and like a fucking Jason and.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Noble was built out on the outside, like they added
a wing of the mall. So it's it's almost like
it's it's it's a free standing store on three signs
I saw, I saw the depression people. The only really
real people in this mall are people taking videos to show.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
How empty the mall is exactly. So I had to
go to one of the stores. So I asked the
girl the stores, how many are left?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Three? Like seven? Oh? Yeah. So I didn't want to
walk past all the empty stores. So I'm like, I
don't remember where that store was located. So I said,
what entrance should I go in? Now? This mall scary?
You know the mall? Oh yes, it's built into a hill.
So the back of the mall is higher and you
enter on the second floor, correct, And the front of
the mall is on the first floor when you enter. Yeah,
(32:07):
because the parking lot goes up and around the back.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Okay, is the hair cutting place still there? No longer?
No long gone? Yeah? No, they left. They left over
a year ago. Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
So she says, you want to go in through Lord
and Taylor and then we're on the first floor if
you go in that way.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Okay, Lord and Taylor is still there. Yeah, So I said, no,
it's closed, but that's the entrance at the time, there
was an entrance. She said, you want to you want
to go through Lord and Taylor. So I said, all right,
and then you're right by Lord and Taylor. She's yeah,
we're on the first floor if you go through Lord
and Taylor. I go, aren't you on the first floor?
No matter where I go in, I said, you're on
(32:47):
the first floor. We're on the first floor if you
go in that entrance. I said, yeah, But that entrance
is higher up in the back in the parking lot,
so it's on the second floor. Question becomes what constitutes
the first floor? The building has two floors, it doesn't
if you enter on the second floor. Still the second floor? Oh?
So she says, well, no, we're on the first floor
(33:09):
when you walk in by the way, you don't you
don't pick floor numbers based on the first one. But but,
but she could be referring to the first floor of
the higher ground. So I said, so how it works?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I said, okay, but there's no third floor, so you're
either on the first floor or you're on the second floor.
And I walk in, So are you in the second floor?
She said, no, we're on the first floor when you
walk in. I said, but there is no first floor.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Did you walk in first floor relative to the building? No?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No, no, there is there one is floor one and
floor to his floor two? Right, regardless of right you're
talking about relative to the building. When you're talking about
a mall, a structure, there's one two.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
I'm with you. I'm crystal clear on this. If you
you're you live in an apartment building on the second
floor and I put a ladder up to your window
and I climb in, that doesn't become the first floor.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I know.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Was that what she was trying to say.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
She was trying to say, it's the first floor you
see when you come in that entrance, just like no,
it's the first floor that makes the first floor of
the basement. Then oh, man, are you on the same
floor as Lord and Taylor at the top floor, the
top floor?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
My brain hurts. This is the day after jingle Ball,
and this is. I'm just said, you know what, never mind,
I'll find it. So sure enough, I went into Lord
and Taylor and I looked at and there was right
there on the second floor was her name, Luca. Yeah,
right there on the second floor. So that is only
topped by this this genius. So I sold some stuff
(34:42):
on eBay. One of the packages was was Scary's and
I had to drop them off. I'm sorry, but whatever
the shipping was, it was it was UPS. I had
to ship something UPS because something I sold from Skary is.
It was the person who brought the thing from Skary
that I sold for him lives in a town that's
(35:02):
so small that UPS has to deliver it to the
local post office and then the post office then takes
it the rest of the way. Really, I didn't know
sounds like that existed on the map, right, So like
the regular post office doesn't get packages, UPS has to
bring it there and then the local little right. Okay,
(35:24):
So I go to the UPS store and they closed.
They were closed, I don't know, they closed early and
said like they were closed earlier than I thought. I said,
well I do, I got to mail this package. I said, thanks.
It was Thanksgiving week I said, you closed tomorrow and Friday.
It was like Wednesday at five o'clock they closed instead
of six. Yeah. So he goes, well, you can go
(35:44):
to you can go to CVS. They take packages a CVS. Okay.
So I walk into CVS and I asked him at
the register where do I go with the packages? She says, oh,
we'll call the girl. She'll come over and check it
in feel I said, okay, she's just wait over there.
So I wait over by the candy aisle, which tell
gonna wait sure, And I'm holding the package in my
hand and she comes out with a gun, like a
(36:05):
scanner gun, and she says, are you the person who
needs help with youps package? I said, uh, yeah, I
got I'm holding the package. Should have been the first clue,
but I didn't say that. She says, do you mind
if I scan it? I said, of course, I don't
mind that. That's what I'm here for. If I have
a problem with you scanning it, then I'm not getting
(36:27):
my package dropped off. So she looks to me weird.
I go, never mind, so mhm. She gives me the
face like, uh, this guy's weird. Okay, So she then
put the code in the scanning device, like her code.
She logged in, and it must have read a question
like when you put in your code. It must have
had a screen A question come up on the screen
(36:48):
and it's it's just just to me. Are you here
to pick up or drop off that package?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
So?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I said, well, I'm clearly dropping it off. How can
I pick it up? I already have it? Duh? She says, oh,
it's on the screen. I had to read you the question.
I go, no, No, you didn't have to read me
that question. I'm holding the box. What she's just so,
would you like me to scan it? Yeah? Yeah, that's
a good idea. Why don't you scan the package? I
brought in here to be scanned. So she scans it
(37:19):
and she say, would you like a receipt? I said yes,
I'd like a receipt. She says, oh, I can't give
you one. What. Yeah, it's not working. I can't give
you a seat. But you just asked me can you
email it to me? Now I'm having a problem with
the Wi Fi. So why would you ask me if
I wanted a receipt? If you can't give me a receipt? Wow,
(37:40):
she says, Well, that's the question. It pops up on
my thing. I have to ask you, God, but you
knew that you couldn't give me one, So thankfully I
didn't ask her what floor she was on, because you know.
Then then I went to the post office same day, scary.
(38:01):
I walk in and as an older gentleman. When I
say older, he's maybe seventy seventy five, wasn't one hundred.
And he's at the desk and he's leaving, and he
had had a mail carrier shirt on my post office shirt.
So he says to me, after you, sir, thank you
(38:21):
for helping to pay my pension. So I said, sure,
no problem, thank you for earning your pension. I said
this assuming he was a postal worker and I was
helping to support the postal service. He then went on
scary out of nowhere on a ten minute story, asking
me if I had ever seen one of two movies
about the postal service. One was called Going Postal, which
(38:45):
made me think about when postal employees used to shoot
up the place. He's called going postal. Oh my god,
is that where that by the way, is that where
that term comes from? Going postal? Yeah, because in the
nineties it was a rash of disgruntled postal workers going
back to their their postal offices and shooting people. Oh god,
you didn't really you didn't know where that came from. No,
I had no idea. I know that was the argent
(39:05):
of the word. All right, you know that the song
going back to Cali's about going back to Cali? Right
that I know? Okay. So, so he asked me if
I have a start going postal. So I'm like getting
a little nervous. Now, what is this guy? What's what's
he alluding to here? So he didn't say he was
in the movies or that he was involved in any
way in the plot, he told me. Then he starts
(39:27):
telling me, he's like, you really ought to see those movies.
I'm like, okay, okay. Then he tells me his college
degree and he used to be a lawyer and he
defended cases and he never lost, but sometimes he had
a compromise because half a loaf of bread is better
than no bread. And then he went on to telling
me his story about his career and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
He said he was a union he didn't have any
talents for union busters, and then he knew this guy
who sued the post office and I'm like, oh my god,
I just want to drop off my packages. Have you
ever met someone like that or just like like just
started talking and telling you stories that made no sense. Yes,
we do that every day on this podcast. You're listening
(40:09):
to it. No, I'm kidding. No, no, no. There have
been times where it's like, what is going on? What
is why are these people? Might have been an uber driver.
They might have got me recently. Uber driver uber driver Uba. Yeah,
they might have gotten me recently. But but I thought
the guy was gonna shoot somebody like he was rambling
(40:32):
on about union busting people and scams and yeah, these
are the people that you meet at the post office. Yeah,
I just I just wanted to drop off my mail.
So you never know. Yeah, I don't. I avoid the
post office at all costs. I don't. I don't go
in there. I go into a post office like once
every three years. Is that why you have me sell
(40:52):
stuff for you? You don't want to go?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:54):
No, I deal with it.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
No, I understand why, or I mean listen, don't You
can go into a ups and FedEx. They they do
pickups so rather than having to go to an old,
decrepit building with disgruntled workers, such a such a place
of negativity and toxic toxicity. You know what.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
It depends on the post office. Oh yeah, the one
on there's one in Manhattan, the big one on Canal Street. Yeah,
that place is. I mean the building itself in prison.
It looks like a prison.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
It looks like a prison, but the building is. The
building has old school architecture. It's over well over a
century old. When you walk in, you feel like, wow,
this was a place people would congregate. They would come
here because a lot of business went down here. And
and like they had like twenty windows and like eighteen
of them were shuttered permanently. And then there's like just
(41:45):
one disgruntled worker behind the window. What do you want next?
And then and then then all the rest of the
displays where you're supposed to pull out all the forms
and things and the envelopes and crap is all over
the fucking place. And there's alway is like some kind
of straggler or shady person lurking that's not really online.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
It has no business being there telling stories about post
office movies.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, there's all That's why I don't walk into them
like I don't. I don't like going to places like that.
It creeps me out, you know, places like uh, you know,
the motor vehicle if I can avoid it, get me.
I don't want to go here. I do not want
to go here where you know the dregs of humanity are,
you know, the just like I mean even the people
that don't wear loubies. The bottom feeders of society, you know,
(42:34):
is the society. You know what I'm talking about? If
I try, people are wonderful and and you know, slices,
you may be hearing this and be like, what are
these guys talking about? I live in so and so town,
you know, a New Jersey no No, or wherever, Pennsylvania
or Florida, wherever you may be living. But guess what,
y slices, you may be living in blank town, and
(42:58):
you may have a pristine motive vehicle and a pristine
post office. Thank you, lucky stars. Because the ones that
are around the New York City, New Jersey area, a
lot of them are shit, the garbage, garbage. But if
you're listening to us in Nebraska right now, you may
have like a friendly you know, Oh, how's the family,
(43:22):
how's everything, mister mcpheley, Oh, things are great, that's from
mister mc mister Rogers, didn't he deliver the mail? Mister
mcphey Yeah, what a name? What a name for a
children's shows?
Speaker 3 (43:37):
You do that? His name was mister mcpheey.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Why how do you you have an infinite number of
combinations of names to choose from and you choose mister
mcpheeley for a child sixties?
Speaker 3 (43:50):
I guess they weren't thinking about that.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Yeah, it was Oh my god, I watched these seventies
nineteen seventies, you know, infomercials and shows and uh these
not even shows, they're like commercials or public service announces. Okay,
they are zero Fox given on these things. They're like
(44:14):
they're like, hey, what's the matter with Jimmy? Oh he's retarded?
Like they're like, say it straight up?
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Like what like? But I guess it was acceptable at
that point, so who you know, Yeah, well, lots of
words works, you know what.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
What gets me though, so when you when you when
you go on social media and people post things from
the seventies, there's always those comments. That was back when
you could be funny. Now, no one got offended by listen. Hey, hey, hey,
don't make fun of my comments. Yeah, that was back
when people who were offending people were offending people that
(44:50):
didn't have the voice to stand up and say they
were offended. That's the difference. They were still being offended,
they just didn't have the wherewithal or the voice or
the social media to say, hey, that's offensive to me.
So we shipp on on on smaller groups of people,
and they were like, but they weren't offended, you know what,
they were probably offended, if I had to guess, probably
(45:12):
dare no.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
But there are certain words that were just because who's
to say that, Okay, I'm just gonna use the word
retarded because it just came up, okay, just to analyze it.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
Who's to say that that word should now be off limits?
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Uh, in the context in the context of someone who
is you know, you know, is suffering from something, you know,
like like in the medical term. Okay, okay, I'm not
talking about we calling your friends in school that is,
you know, here's that Okay, I'm talking I'm talking specifically
about that who who dictated and decided that that was
(45:51):
a bad thing? Why can't it remain in its own
con home, because why can't it remain in its own
context of that's what that means.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
It's define this type of person with this type of condition.
So the original word that word meant originally was things
can be slowed. The progress is slowed, right, progress can
be retarded. You can retard a progress of that. That's
what I'm saying. So why can't it stick to that meaning?
And that's it and not talking about erosion on a
beach or something or movement of a glacier. Yes, the
(46:22):
problem is not the word. The word retarded wasn't the problem.
The problem was when people used it as a noun
and called people retards, and people with medical conditions who
were born possibly with certain challenges were being called that word.
(46:44):
Even though you may call your friend, hey, what are
you rue that? Right? Yeah, you meant, you meant. What
you really meant was you are like those people that
have a born disability. And so when nobody cared what
those people felt, people were able to use the word.
But the parents cared, the people cared who had those
(47:06):
special challenges, and so as they got more of a
voice in government and in the populace and in society,
people were like you know what, we've been offending those
people all this time, but we hurt. But we created
that based on all of what you just said.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
In it's in its original form, the the this word
means this condition, So why can't it be eighty years
later and that word still refers to that condition without
any prejudice.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
That's the word. That's the word because we use you
use the word as a derogatory term. Let's say, let's say,
and I'm really trying to understand this, and how in
Paul put an easier term to understand. Let's say I
call a girl you're such a just such a blonde
that that's sort of hurtful for blondes. That's like saying
(47:59):
you're so you're like a blonde. So if I say
to somebody, you're the R word, and it's now become
publicly associated with people boom with disabilities, I'm saying you
are so not as bright as you could be, you
are so less than that, you're like those people. That's
(48:19):
why the.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Society have has now come up with other you know,
the these offshooting meanings.
Speaker 3 (48:25):
Its handicapped people call it it's ape.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Right, Okay, Now you can't say that you can't say
you haven't been able to say that first disabled, But
like that in baseball, the disabled list became the injured list.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Yes, that's exactly where I'm going with this, even though
even though there's because disabled me yeah, So the question
is but why why? Because because our society has decided
the world has decided to be kinder to people who
are maybe considered less than by other people.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
But it's it's just a it's so, it's just a word.
It's a bunch of letter are strung together that equate this.
I'm just going this is very black and white, Okay.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Why it's why you can call someone you could say
fanny in America, but in England that's it's offensive because
fanny means the sea will. But that's always been that's
always been that. No, that's a point.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
It's a bad analogy. I'm talking about. Like what I'm saying,
word scary. It's no different than Okay, I'm going to
take it to an extreme. And again, this is the
Brooklyn Boys comedy podcast in eighteen seventy. In eighteen forty,
If you use the N word, you were using it
towards people that had no voice in society. No but
that was always derogatory from the beginning. That word was
(49:41):
always hold on but scary.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
It was probably came up with because maybe because they
were from Niger, Africa, whatever the case, or Nigro is
black and many languages, right, so, and Nigro became what
right of matter? But when you my point is, but
why did that word become and offensive? It didn't become
It always was, okay, but it became worse. And it
(50:05):
became worse because those people, black people got a voice
in society and decided that it shouldn't be commonplace on television,
it shouldn't be commonplace right, No, in the workplace.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
No. But but here hear me out for a second.
In my opinion, in eighteen forty, that was a derogatory word.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
It always was.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
And but what the comparison I'm making is like go
back to disabled for a second. Okay, disabled, The word
disabled is it was meant to mean this, this condition
or whatever you and and it became over time. See
you know what I'm saying, Like the N word was different.
It always was a derogatory thing. I think it's a
(50:46):
bad example. You need to take that away. I'm talking
about words that like that were meant to mean what
are associated with a thing? Why all of a sudden
or over time that those words because eventually, like I
understand how Indian style, like, we was sitting Indian style
and then I say crisscross apple sauce because because you.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
Didn't find Indian style offensive, but the Indian people said, yes, yes,
these faults in that other category. Disabled people don't want
to be referred to as disabled. But there's a.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Reason why, because because in the beginning they had no
problem with that, they were okay with it, and it
wasn't derogatory because.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
That was it was it was. There was a time
this having the right to vote, There was a time
when didn't have a problem not working. Society advances and
moves and grows, and at some point disabled people may
have been like, you know what, I don't want to
be stigmatized with a word. I don't want to be
I don't want to be pre judged as disabled. I
don't know. I don't want to get too deep. I
(51:49):
understand disabled person to I shouldn't refer to them as that,
So I don't I see the thing. I don't think this.
Speaker 2 (51:57):
A person who is quote disabled is a offend by that.
I think that that's that is something.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
What about the term, okay, homosexual is a definition of
a type of person, right, people are born homosexuals, whatever
the case, and then but if you call them homos,
maybe in the seventies they weren't offended by that, But
now if you see a guy at a bar, that's.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
Another one of those that falls into the other category.
That was always that was always derogatory from the beginning.
I'm talking about specific words like disabled. That was an
excellent example, and we'll use the R word okay there
that were meant to mean that this word equals.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
This caution became for him an insult. It became an
insult when someone was born a certain way and medically
declared that word. Oh your child is this word, right,
that's fine, But if you start using it as an
insult towards people that aren't born that way, then it's like, so,
my child is an insult, So my child is so bad.
(52:53):
So less than that, you're going to call people you
don't like and say they're like my like my Jimmy.
So you're calling somebody like as an insult my kid.
It's like it's like I'm Jewish, Right, you call me
a Jew? But when you use it as an insult,
you're like, oh, yeah, what are you some what are
you some fucking cheap jew? Now it's an insult. Right
If you call people jew as an insult, then I
(53:14):
take it as like that right.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
No, but now you can't say you can't say, oh,
you can't say Brodie's a Jew. You can't say that. Yes,
you can have a connotation by it.
Speaker 3 (53:23):
No, it doesn't. No, it's a different scary if you
said Brodie's a Jew. Who cares if you said Brodie's
a Jew? So now it's an inflection. It is in
if I see myself on the street, I'm like, hey,
what's up? Jew?
Speaker 2 (53:36):
This is all this, All this, the proceeding was really
just an exploitory, exploratory conversation on why certain things.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Is skinny offensive?
Speaker 2 (53:45):
It is it was always offensive, that it was always offensive,
it was more offensive. Again, I'm specifically talking about words
that were I'm going to go back to it again.
Speaker 3 (53:57):
I have to reiterate and underline and underscore.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
I'm specifically talking about words that we're equal to medical
conditions or such that that now cannot be used because I.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
Think we try better, harder to say, to call and
label people things that are less offensive or stigmatatic stigmatic, right, right, stigmatizing.
Excuse me, I guess I'm trying to understand this. You know. Look,
there's two types of people. There's the people will go yeah,
you know, I can make that effort if I if
I if these people are offended by it. And then
there's people go fuck those people shouldn't be funded. Fuck up.
(54:31):
So choose which camp you're in? How do we get
on this topic? Will we aspire? You probably said something stupid, yeah, podcast,
we will be right back.
Speaker 2 (54:41):
The stuff in your storage unit isn't worth seventy seven
dollars a month. And I never ever go to look
at the storage unit and try and take things out
of it ever, so right, and I don't really there
and you'll die and it'll be there.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
Yeah. Storage.
Speaker 2 (54:53):
Yeah, storage companies they're raking it in, just like please,
just like uh, just like health insurance companies, just raking
the money in because because people have junk, they never
get rid of the junk.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
They don't want to part with a junk.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
It's probably on their head and it's uh, they fit,
they can't and they're like, you know, I'm just going
to pay for a place to store my junk. By
the way, Jerry Seinfeld did an amazing routine on this
very bit. What we just sold, Yeah, yeah, yeah, not junk.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
So when I sold my house, my wife and I
sold the house, we had more stuff that would fit
here at the townhouse in the garage. So I said,
I'm I'm gonna take a storage unit. It's not a
big storage unit. It's I don't know, ten by twelve,
twelve by twelve, it's you know whatever. So I booked
it online and it said online discounted price seventy nine
(55:42):
dollars a month. So I'm like, all right, I'll keep
the storage unit for a few months till you know,
everything's settled in and we donate stuff, we sell stuff,
we'll make room for the stuff in the unit, and
we'll bring it here, we'll put it in the garage. Well,
after two months seventy nine dollars, they send me an
(56:02):
email that my unit is now going up to one
fifty eight a month, which is just about double. Oh
my god. So I said no, So I called up,
I go whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't double my rent.
I didn't take a promotional price. There was nothing that
said this is a two month only promotional price. I
never would have taken a unit for one hundred and
(56:22):
fifty eight dollars. So I was, well, that's a promotional price.
That's not what it's said online. I have a screenshot
of it, which I did because I screenshoted it as
I was shopping, so I remember all of the places
I was looking at and I could compare all the pricing. Wow,
there's nothing I can do. That's the price. I said, no, no, no,
I said, I will gladly move my stuff to another
(56:43):
storage unit as of the end of the month. That's bullshit.
So he says, oh, well, let me see what I
can do. I can bring it down a one twenty five.
I got one twenty five. I'm paying seventy nine dollars. No,
that's that's not ect. That's babe and Switch. I said, look,
(57:03):
you're not dealing with somebody who's like a pats who's
going to take this bullshit. I have a contract with
you for seventy nine dollars. He says, yeah, but it
says written there the price can go up with one
month's notice. I said, yeah, after like a year, not
after two months. Wow. So I said, I got to
talk to a supervisor, regional person. Get me on the
phone with somebody else. So I get the regional person
(57:26):
calls me a few days later. By the way, was
this a big company or is this like a mama Yeah,
that's a very big company. No, I don't go to
mama pops. I go for the big ones with the
big kind of prices. What scams. So the guy says
to me, look, I'm sorry for the confusion. I could
do ninety five. I said, wait a second. First, I'm
(57:46):
paying seventy nine. Then you jack me up to one
fifty eight, which is out of control. Then the guy
tells me, yeah, I could do one twenty five. Now
you're telling me you can do ninety five. Can we
please get me back to seventy nine dollars? Can we
make it up nonumbers? At this point?
Speaker 2 (58:01):
Right, they're just like they just make it up numbers.
It's arbitrary, right, arbitrary. You're making it one twenty five?
Will give you what do you think about?
Speaker 1 (58:08):
Dollars?
Speaker 3 (58:08):
Just work for you? No, it doesn't work for me.
I'll tell you what I'll do I'll drop it to
eighty six dollars, but i'll lock you in for for
a year. Huh. So I said, so for seven dollars
more a month, I'm locked in. There could be no
price hikes. I said, I want that in writing. He said,
all right. So he sent me an email, you know,
(58:29):
confirming my eighty six dollars. But scary slices one hundred
and fifty eight dollars they tried to charge me. And
how many people scary do you think?
Speaker 2 (58:38):
Go?
Speaker 3 (58:38):
All right, I put up with it quite a bit.
They're not they're not a capacity. They've got plenty of
empty units. If they lose me, they get zero a month.
They want to double their profits. Yeah, I go. He is, well,
we got a lot of empty units. I go, that's
not my problem.
Speaker 2 (58:53):
How would you like one more empty unit? I go,
so and sew up the road with the red windows,
with the red gates. They're charging eighty six. So the
guy was like, I'm match eighty six and I'll lock
you in. I go, I want to see it in writing.
Im at eighty six.
Speaker 3 (59:07):
But I gotta tell you, I'm trying my best to
get rid of this fucking storage unit. I'm like constantly
trying to sell stuff and combined stuff donate stuff.
Speaker 2 (59:16):
That would be pretty wise. Actually, I should probably do
the same. I should probably go down there.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
You're paying for what stuff you're never gonna touch again. Yeah,
back to the Seinfeld bit. Just junk.
Speaker 2 (59:27):
Just we're just moving junk. Life is just accumulating and
moving junk around and paying for it.
Speaker 3 (59:33):
Yeah, slices, I want you to leave us a talk back.
How much are you paying more than me? And scary
for you have storage unit for shit that you don't
haven't seen in the years and.
Speaker 2 (59:44):
Then you will never see ever and you don't care
about right? And is your spouse giving you shit for it?
Because I'm definitely gonna get shipped for it after a
certain amount of months, you know. Yeah, Well, because it's
all my stuff there, because all you know, none of
her stuff is is in the storage unit, So.
Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
All my stuff. How'd that work out?
Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
That?
Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
How about that? How about that? How about that? People
will fuck you if you let them. That's my point. Oh,
bring it on. You just want to get It's like,
I just want to get fucked. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Well, I teased last time that we brodie and I
have a friend. Oh, I'm going to make people upsets
an hr nightmare. I don't know how this company got
away with doing this, but we were a friend who
works in our industry in Los Angeles, and he has
been doing let's be clear, not our company, not our company, no, right,
(01:00:40):
a different big radio company. Yes, he's been working on
this radio company on the news station for years and years.
Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
And that's eleven twelve years, right, yes, yeah, and this
guy does the traffic reports and is employed by that company.
So just explain what that means. Scary the traffic reports, Well,
so so trure they do that.
Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
They every every ten minutes, they record a traffic report
and then they they play.
Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
It, you know, and they're not part of the morning show,
but now show in the sense that they're the official
morning show five traffic person.
Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Yeah, and they've you know, they were five hours, six
hours a day and every ten minutes spent out another
traffic report.
Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Well, and a lot of times they're working from home, right,
or a centralized they don't work in the radio station
where you work. Yeah, this person he.
Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Worked in the past, tense because he got fired ye
from home and yeah, so it was midway through his
shift on like a Tuesday morning, and he basically gets
a call from I guess corporate HR and says, hey, Harry, yeah,
(01:01:48):
how you doing awesome? Listen, we're downsizing making some cuts
here and you've been laid off. And then Harry says, whoaa, whoa.
Not only was he hey, by the way, you know,
I'm in the middle of the shift right now, right right?
Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
Hit another hour?
Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Right, another another two hours to go, two hours okay here,
oh okay, yeah, well, uh you know something just oh
we didn't know that. Just listen, be professional and finish
your shift.
Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
But he looked up. He still had.
Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Another seven traffic reports to file for the radio station
and Harry Harry, so he.
Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Was let go.
Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Now they have a sixty second phone call. You'll be
hearing from HR with your package. You're goodbye package, see
you later. Uh uh, but you have another two hours
on the air, so be professional, finish your shift.
Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Click now traffic reports. So I'm gonna let you and
behind the scenes, traffic reports are a great way to
have a sponsor. Yes, right, So a lot of times
you'll hear the track and there's a two hour back
up at the bridge that was brought to you by
a mattress firm, the mattress professionals. Right, they did the
traffic reports so they could add a sponsor at the end.
(01:02:59):
Erica runs Duncan or whatever the slogan is, so slices.
He's what I want to ask you. This is another
talk back. This is your homework assignment. This is the
big one. Number one, would you curse them out and
say fuck it, I'm not finishing the show. Number two?
Would you finish the show and be professional? Or three?
Would you finish the show and be unprofessional? Sabotage the place?
(01:03:21):
And two hour backup when there's no backup? S like
there's no backup, there's no backup at the bridge, or
created create havoc on roadways that there never are. Right,
And this this is brought to you by Dunkin Donuts.
They fucking suck.
Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
American run. American runs on Duncan. America gives you the runs.
I'm dunk right, okay, folks. He brought to you by
donuts that make you fat, fat people, Donuts bump to you,
bringing you the.
Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
Traffick a point, So what does do you do? Because
I'm thinking for the scary, what would you have done?
Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
You want to probably finished professional, Yes, because I don't
want to burn a bridge.
Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
I'm be going to which there's a two hour backup
and done. The bridge is burning, the bridge is on Firefolks,
don't go there. Head to the bridge, don't end to
the bridge. Head to the toll that just opened up
another lane that doesn't exist. The full sight is open.
Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
I would I would stay professional because in my mind
I didn't do anything wrong. They're downsizing. I'm rehirable. I
don't want to fuck with this company in case I
need a job here in the future. So that's my mindset.
But I just want to pull back. Well, first of all,
what would you do? Well, I'm to see me. I'm
a wise ass. I want to be professional. But also
I'd be like, hey, it is a.
Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Half hour delay getting out of the city in the
Lincoln Tunnel, which is where I'll be in about twenty minutes,
because I just got laid off. Yeah, I would, I
would say something if so.
Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
He ended up disgruntally finishing his shift, and the last
few reports like he was grumpy.
Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Or he was like he did it.
Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
He did it anyway. Gradually he didn't be grudgingly, So
that's the word I was looking for. He'd begrudgingly finished
the shift professionally, but sounded somber and a little more,
you know, a little weird.
Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
In the last found on the Parkway. You've got shifts.
You can tell there was something wrong in his personal life.
If you're on your way to work on the term Pike,
good feel you still have a job. Half our delays?
Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
So what?
Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
But what I don't understand is what a fucked up company?
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, is this company.
Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
No, he was on the air. There's no clue. There's
no clue he was on the air. He was on
the list. I gotta call Harry. I don't care what
time it is. At eight o'clock in the morning, he
won't constantly be doing this early that radio.
Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
It's weird, man, it's weird. And it's like, and what
kind of a piece of shit company does that? That
That basically says we don't value you anything.
Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
We we don't even know what your role is. That
you might be on the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Yeah, and we're gonna ask you, Yeah, could you stay
too long?
Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
It's tasteake stay too more hour? We'll pay you for
those two hours. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Yeah, this reminds me of the time that New York
Met Wilmer Flores was in the middle of a game
and on the field news had broke in the dugout
and in the stands online that he had been traded
from the Mets.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
He is in the Mets universe.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
So at the end of that game, that the end
part of the game, seventh inning, he was crying on
the field. Well, hold on, at the end of the game,
he will have been traded to a different team. But
what the Mets were essentially asking him where to do
was what they asked this traffic employee to do for
that radio company. Finished the game, and what ended up happening, Brody,
(01:06:35):
as you were about to say, he hell, news traveled,
and obviously when he got back to the dugout for
the half inning.
Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Tom told crying, hey, look, you've been traded. We don't know,
they said, we don't know. It's it's possible. He's to
go back out and play.
Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
But the people in the stands have fucking cell phones.
They're getting the news real time. So all kinds of
some crazy, weird dynas he became.
Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
But the best part of that story scary is that
the guy that one of the guys who was being
traded for Carlos Gomez, ended up having a medical issue
that the Mets thought was was no good, so they
called off the trade. And then the next night they lost,
and then the next game Wilma Flores hit the game
winning home run and it was like it was a
(01:07:22):
Hollywood ending. It was tremendous, tremendous. But yeah, he got
he got sort of trade in the middle of the game.
You know, there was one guy because this has happened
before in baseball, where people have been traded during the
game to the other team and they go in the
locker room and change jerseys. Shut up. In fact, it
happened this year. It's never happened before. But I'm gonna
(01:07:44):
get the details. Maybe slightly wrong, but so forgive me
if I'm off on the teams the Red Sox were playing.
Let's say the Cleveland Indians. Okay, I know the Red
Sox were involved. You don't have to tweet me, guys,
and the game was was right, that's offensive. I'm sorry.
The Guardians A yeah, yeah, okay, there's an example for Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
So.
Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
He was traded to the other team, but the game,
so the game was rained out in April, right, it
was rain delayed, so the game got paused when they
when they scheduled the game to be replayed. He's now
on the other team, and now he's catching for the
other team. So he he played and got a hit,
(01:08:28):
I believe, for both teams in the same game. Why
and again I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but
ultimately that's what happened. He got traded in the in
a suspended game, and when they redid the when they
went to finish the game played the end of the game,
he was now playing for the other team. So he
played for both teams in the same game. And there's
(01:08:48):
something like he got to either he was catching or
he was at he was at bat for one of
the teams, whatever the case. Uh, he played for both
teams within the same game. League technically, Wow, he can't
make people have been traded in the middle of double headers.
They played the first game of one team get traded
to other camp. Make this they get a uniform. Can't
make it now it happens.
Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
But this guy, poor Harry, not his real name, but
Harry got Harry shit canned in the middle of his shift.
Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
Hope you find just let us know exactly I'm running
on fumes, Brodie, I don't know. Did you stink from
last night?
Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
No, I it's you know, yesterday was our big event,
jingle Ball, so I was I was, you know, I
was up late and here we are on a Saturday.
I don't think I think this is a Brooklyn Boys
first recording the podcast on a Saturday. Oh, we've never
done that before, but we're running the I think we have.
So should I tell the story about my daughter?
Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Yeah? Of course. So my daughter went to jingle Ball
last night with a friend of hers and they had
they had good seats, but like the in the one
hundred section, which is the first level off the floor.
So I said, oh, you got good seat, right. I said,
that's a good section you're in. She says, yeah, it's
(01:10:04):
good access to the floor. I can get to the floor. Now,
my daughter always ends up in the floor. She somehow
finds a way to get to the floor seats. She's
my kid, she finds a way. So she texted me
mission accomplished. I'm in. I'm in the I'm in the
I'm in the pit. I'm in I'm in, I'm in
the floor seat area, like, okay, great, she's like yep,
(01:10:24):
I became friends with the security guards. She got in Okay,
how does she? I don't know. She's funny and cute
and she got found away and don't is is she hot? Scary?
Go fuck yourself? I know I'm asking is she hot?
These days? How the hell you get past garden security? Question?
What kind of question is that? How the way he
talks to me? How do you get that? Hold on?
(01:10:45):
Hold on slices? I'm talking to the parents who have
daughters right now? How do you answer that question? If
I say no, she's not hot, she's gonna get mad
at me. And if I say she is hot, that's sick.
I can't answer that question. I just wow, check mate?
How great is that? You can't answer that? Because's like
when did you stop beating your wife? You can't answer
your question? Well, listen to me. You know the reason
(01:11:07):
why I ask. And again, this is all hypothetic. You
take the take the parent part out of it, take
the fact that your moves her. No, I can't pretend
my teenage daughter is hot because I'm pretendial.
Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
No, no, no, she's of age though she's in college, right,
I haven't seen her in years. So the reason why
I asked, you don't you don't have to answer.
Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
But my daughter is is uh fine, I don't mean fine.
I'm fine. My daughter is pretty Okay, don't ask me
if she's so. So there you go. That answers my question.
Is your daughter a piece of asked?
Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Let me know. No, I'm alm only asking because you
want to follow her on instead. No, No, I'm just
saying for the context of the story, you say, no,
she got down there with the guard with the guard
because to me, those guards are like iron clad.
Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
You can't get past them. So how the hell does
she schmooze? I don't know. My mother is in the front,
she has the tickets. Whatever she did, the point is
she got in the front. Okay. So she texts me,
I'm in, I'm in the orchestra, I'm close, I'm I'm
having a great time. Thank you again for the tickets whatever,
I said. Okay. So she calls me last night after
(01:12:16):
the show at midnight whatever it was shown her way
back to school. I said, how was the show? It
was great? Thanks again, she said, I saw Elvis. I said, really, yeah,
she says, yeah, my friend wanted to get a picture
with Elvis. She saw him and he said, oh, let's
go get a picture with Elvis. And she's like, don't
you want to picture with Elvis? And my daughter's like, no,
I know, my whole life. It's like he's just like
(01:12:36):
family at this point. Whatever. So I said, so you
were you were so close to the stage that you
were by where Elvis sits and and and his husband
and his friends. She's no, no, no, no. I was
in the front row. Elvis was three rows behind me.
Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Now, Elvis would tell you the front row is not
the greatest because he's too close.
Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Fourth throws where it's yeah, no, I've been in the
front row. Sometimes people leave or they or they moved
to the center and they leave their seats open. Yeah. Personally,
I don't like the front row. I like the fourth
of the fourth row. No, I like the first. It
depends on who the artist is. If it's a band
that stays towards the back, the front row is not great.
But I'll give you for instance, twenty eighteen, maybe it
(01:13:19):
was the year that Taylor Swift's birthday was the same
night as jingle Ball.
Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
Which was last night as well, December thirteenth. It fell
on her Birthday's your favorite numbers The thirteenth, right, fell
on her birthday. Ya a number of years ago. Jingle
Ball was on her birthday. We got her cake she
had backstage. Anyway, she came out. It was the year
she wore like a red tartan plaid top and bottom
two piece. Hey, carefully throw that tart word around, you know,
people offended, not tard tartan. Oh sorry, your tart anyway,
(01:13:49):
So Taylor came right up to the edge of the
stage and sings to the people in the first couple
of rows. So I had my daughters with me in
the front row because again we moved up because no
one was there, and we were like two feet away
from Taylor's feet.
Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
We look right up at our So that was fine.
Front row is fine if they come to the edge,
if they come close to the edge, thank you, yes, hio.
So yeah, anyway, So she had better seats by the
end of the night than Elviston h and uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Gracie Abrams performed. Gracie opened for Taylor Swift on Taylor's tour.
At some point night, Alow with fever Bridges I got.
I was on a Phoebe Bridges.
Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Feeb. You and I went to the same shab Bridges.
We were at the same baby buggy bumpers. But uh,
I will tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
After so brody, you weren't there last night after seeing
or was I Abrams perform last night? No, the way
she's the way she performs, Uh, the way she sings,
and the way the audience sings loudly, all in chorus,
(01:15:01):
all together with her as going through every lyric of
every one of her songs. She don't finish my sentences.
She is the second coming of Taylor Swift. She will
be there one day. She is She's she's Taylor Swift
in the making. She is the next Taylor Swift. In
(01:15:22):
maybe a few years, it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (01:15:23):
Like, I'm not gonna the next Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
No, no hold on Sabrina too. The way and I
and I say this, and the chapel roanes of the world,
it's how.
Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
Many chaperones are that when people say of the world,
there's not other chapel roons.
Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
What I'm saying is when you get when you get
an audience screaming every word passionately to every song in
chorus right back with the artist the way that it happens.
And on the Ears tour, if you've had if you
guys have been to the Taylor Swift one of the
one of her shows, it.
Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Happens at every show.
Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
You don't see that with very many artists at all,
In fact, none so so the Gracie Abrams effect. That
the Taylor Swift effect was in full effect when Gracy
Abrams performed last night. I'm just saying, And on the
Sabrina Tour, on her Sweet Sour Tour, her Short and
Sweet Tour, So.
Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Can these are gonna be?
Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
You don't go to enough concerts, Dude, every concert I
go to, you stick to fans sing along.
Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
What concents are you going to?
Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
I go to heavy metal shows they do like you know,
like you go to Motley cru When they do Home
Sweet Home, they bringing levels down and everybody sings on
certain listen to me on certain hold on swift on
certain songs, hold up. Certain songs are anthems. Everyone's singing
living on a prayer. Everybody's going crazy. They're doing the words.
But I'm talking about every note, every word to every song, Sir,
(01:16:55):
you don't see that as often you don't think they
were all singing runaway and and while they what certain songs,
but out of all of them.
Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
You give love a bad name.
Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Better roses a lot of songs. Most songs and artists
are performing. They the audience is not singing along to
every word to every song. Certain songs are anthems, yes,
but not all songs were.
Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
My rockers slices, I want you to leave us when
you go to a rock fucking I sing every word
that's you as a talkback. You sing when you go
to a concert, or you do air guitar, one of
the other. But see Scary goes to DM shows. So
when they when they play, he goes. It's along with
the beat. He can't sing. There's no lyrics. Regardless of
how you feel. I'm telling you, mark my words, mark
(01:17:41):
the words talk.
Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
Get your Gracie Abrams tickets now while you can still
afford them, and while you can maybe get it. I
mean she's selling out shows like crazy. The tickets are
hard enough to get right now, as it is.
Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
The beauty, the beauty of jingle ball the slices. Here's
another assignment. You can do this on your own. Google
the lineup for you, one hundreds jingle Ball every year.
Every year, look at twenty fifteen's jingle Ball lineup. People
would die in and go see them.
Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
They're all the next biggest stars, and then see how
many of them were actually stars A lot until someone
has three, four or five big albums.
Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
Don't tell me they're gonna be the next Taylor Swift.
Don't tell me they're gonna be the next big thing
because every year, I'm telling you, look at the lineup
from jingle Ball last night, and I love the guy.
But do you think Shaboozy is gonna have none? But
he's not part of this conversation. See what I'm saying, Well,
you did it right there. All the time. You bring
people into the conversation that I never even fucking mentioned.
(01:18:33):
So he's got nothing to doing. Is what I'm saying
is you can look at the biggest acts of jingle
Ball every year, the big ones, not people that big ones. Okay,
some of them don't continue. I never said one of
them was a star. But let's go back to the
Begtail Swift, everybody thirty three.
Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
All I said was Gracie Abrams Abrams, yep, get Gracie
Abrams is the new Taylor Swift, mark my words.
Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
In a few years. Yes, Chapel Roane is going to
be on that level.
Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
And as I said in a previous episode of The
Book and Boys podcast Sabrina Carpenter, They're all on that trajectory.
Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
They are.
Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
But I'm not saying I didn't mention Shaboozie. I didn't
mention you know, any of these other artists that performed
last night.
Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
I didn't bring up Shaboozie as a director. I'm saying
people are excited about Shaboozi now. People are excited about
Gracie Abrams, right.
Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
But I'm making the distinction that, yes, they they're excited now,
but they will be excited in the future based on
what I.
Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Saw last night. Gracie is very talented. I hope she
does very well. But you gotta stop making everybody the
next Tailors.
Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
Girls are passionate about her. Do you know how many
Next Beatles there were? Oh, they're the next Beatles, They're
the next Beatles. It doesn't happen that often. The next
Michael Jackson, when the next Prince. It's not The lyrics
are relatable and she I'm telling you but she's got
to be able to grow with her audience and release
relative relevant, relatable lyrics every year, for year after year,
(01:20:05):
off the year.
Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
Dude, Taylor Swift's been doing this since two thousand and eight.
All right, that's all. I wish Gracey Abrams the best
of luck. But you get it, you got you jump
on these bandwagons awfully fast, because I know I know what.
I know what I saw last night at the garden.
I know what I saw. Okay, gun to your head, slices.
We're recording this in a year from now. Who's bigger,
(01:20:28):
Serena Carpenter Gracey Abrams two years from now? All right, No,
I'm asking who's bigger of the two of them, Sabrina.
Interesting boys, boys,
