Episode three forty four. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
What's going on there?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Dad Brody recording on a Friday. Sorry slices that were
a little late, But if you hear this a month
from now, it won't matter to you.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It really won't matter.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And a lot of people don't listen to day. Of
a lot of people, it takes about a week or
two for them to catch up. So yeah, it's a
scorcher here this weekend here in the Northeast.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I just went to walk the dogs and they're like, oh,
let's let's go to the park, and we have a
dog park. And I said, uh, yeah, that sounds fine.
I got halfway to the dog park and I said,
you're peeing here. Oh yeah, you're peing right here. So
it's a pressure. They did what they had to do.
I don't care if they were finished. Came right back
into the air conditioning. It's a kind of crap where
(01:06):
you walk out the door and the heat literally smacks
you in the face and then smacks you on the
other side. Of the face and then punches you in
the gut. That's the kind of heat that we're feeling
right now. It's gross. It's gonna be It's like one hundred.
And I walked outside and I thought maybe I was
wearing a coat or a heavy shirt. So I actually
looked down and see what I was wearing. I'm like,
(01:27):
why am I? I'm wearing a T shirt? So do
you remember the days when we used to live on
the block in Brooklyn?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We used to open up that fire hydrant? Yep?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Did you used to us a hydrant or some people
may call it a Johnny pumpolo? Have no idea why? Yeah,
my so, my my my dad was a police officer,
so he had the official tool to open and close
fire hydrants.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And and he had a cap that you could put
on the fire hydrant.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It turned it into a sprinkler sprinkler cap.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So now nowadays, if you contact the city, they give
you the sprinkler caps. It used to be illegal for
you to open the fire hydrant to get some you know,
refreshing Uh yeah, you know water. Yeah, now you got forbid.
Now no, now they do it. Now you're allowed to.
Apparently they kind of I would would are they encourage
(02:19):
it or it's just not illegal anymore? But well, I
guess the water pressure and the technology is better because
back in the day, if you used all the water
to run through run through the water in Brooklyn, if
there was a fire, you have no water, which is
why it was illegal back in the day. But you know,
we counted on not having a fire, so it was
the only source of summer amusement.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And we pool. Did you have a pool, right? No.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I lived in an apartment building, so we had a
We had not like not like Jersey City apartment buildings
where they have a deck in a pool. I lived
in a pre war and pre war by the way,
in case you don't know, pre war means before World
War two, Yeah, which means it was like nineteen thirties,
and you know there's there's a little court got in
the back.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No pool.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
We had a backyard, but it was all concrete. It
wasn't very big. And we had a plastic pool when
I was a kid. Yeah, the above the above ground
round pool. Everybody had those two family homes. Yeah, we
had one of those, and then we would have the
garden hose, so we would run through the sprinkler of
the garden hose.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Uh. And that was it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Then then there was the fire hydrant for those other days.
When Anthony caught a.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Posse, uh would would uh caught what he caught? No?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
His name, his last name was cart a posse. Anthony
cort a posse. He caught a posse and they beat
him up.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It was Paul and Anthony caught a posse. Uh No,
it's an Italian last name. And he had a posse?
What was the posse doing when he got when they
got caught, they were an insane clown posse. They yeah, no,
they yeah. They had Anthony, Paul and Lydia and and
the three.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What kind of Italian name is Lydia?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I don't know, but but they they they lived on
the corner and they were the ones that would be
They would rally us.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Come on, we got the wrench, and they got the wrench.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
With the magic nut that spin you spin the nut
and the open up the fire hydrant and it was
it was glorious. And that was pretty much every summer
for several summers. Yeah, and then you'd have to have
like one person would have to volunteer to stand by
the fire hydrant and use their hands to redirect the
water at you, because otherwise the water just pours out
onto the ground.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So someone had to stand there.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And you know, like when you put your your thumb
over the hole of the garden hose and it's sprays, right,
someone had to put their hands over the fire hydrant opening.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You know what we're doing, don't you scary we're doing.
Back in my day, we had a fire hydrant and
we had we are doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But but at a quarter to seven every night, the
mister Softy truck would would show up and we would
all line up for our soft serve ice cream. Now see,
back in the day, I thought it was good humor,
the Good Humor truck. Would we okay, we had good
humor at three o'clock in the afternoon. Good humor is
the prepackaged bars we had had the favorite one with
there was the toasted almond, toasted almond crunch, toasted almond,
(05:09):
the strawberry shortcake, and the of course the ice cream sandwich, yes,
the classic ice cream sandwich. Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And then every once in a while they would have
a chip witch.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But it was it was all prepackaged ice cream and
then but at my favorite was the mister Softy truck
because it was soft serf and I would just get
like a chocolate shake, or they would sell the bomb pops,
you know, the red, white and blue torpedo looking ices.
So yesterday I was thinking of mister Softy. I must
have said it out loud, because all of a sudden,
(05:39):
my TikTok algorithm served me a mister Softy story. Did
you know, David Brody that while we were just innocent
kids in the in the seventies, eighties, nineties, growing up
with Nicki Minaj in the early two thousands, Yeah, yeah,
did you know that there was ice cream turf wars
(06:00):
going on behind the scenes. I did, as an innocent
kid just trying to buy that ice cream. I had
no clue, but apparently there were these two companies. Basically,
a bunch of Mister Softy people said fu and broke
off and started their own company, and then they called
it Master Softy. So it was Mister Softy versus Master
(06:24):
Softy until the Mister Softy Corporations sued the Master Softy
defects and says, this is our turf. You can't sell
ice cream here. We are this is our route and
then our no. And in fact, you're changing your damn
name because it's too close to mister Softy. You can't
change one letter and call it the same thing and
play the same damn music they did. So now it's
(06:47):
called New York. It's called New York ice Cream Company.
So at anytime you see New York ice Cream Company around
New York, that was a former Master Softy truck. That
was a defect from the mister Softy. It's just wild,
but TikTok. So I'll tell you. I'll tell you an
ice cream story. Everyone's got an ice cream truck story.
But where I live now, you know, there's a pool
(07:09):
and it's hot. So I'm in the pool. And every
night i'm in the pool, the ice cream truck comes
around to the neighborhood. But I'm in the pool and
I have no money with me. Huh, so I can't
get out of the pool fast enough. You see the truck.
The truck comes by, like, hey, any kids out, any
any kids around? And then they leave, so I can't
(07:30):
get to the truck in time to get my damn
ice cream. Plus, uh, you gotta you gotta take like
Google pay and Apple pay.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, that's the thing. They don't take Apple pay. That
was my next question.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You gotta have a QR code or something because otherwise,
like I'm in the pool, I know cash. I'm gonna
take cash to the pool venmo the guy. If I'm
gonna venmo the guy? Hey, hey, creepy guy in the truck,
can I get Can I give you my Venmo?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm not gonna do that. But not, by the way,
not all guys in ice cream trucks are creepy slices.
If you're a slice wh works an ice cream truck,
I'm not. I'mplying that being said. My mother once asked
me a very pertinent question. This is years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
She said, where do you suppose the mister softy guy
goes to the bathroom and how does he wash his hands?
I would I would need to think that he leaves
the truck and he goes to use a public restroom somewhere. Yeah,
well that's the thought, right. Just ask me the same
question about like the hot dog vendor. A hot dog
vendor never leaves his cart. Oh no, so where does
(08:32):
he go? How does he wash his hands? There's no
sink there. I never thought this through. Do you ever
see a hot dog cart when nobody's standing there with
the cart because he's in the bathroom washing his hand?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
No, because who would trust their cart alone?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh no, oh no, these are questions, These are questions.
Oh no, anyway, so ice cream enjoy. It's one hundred
degrees today, so oh.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
No, you got me thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You got me thinking about where these guys wash their
hands and go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Do you really do you think they going like a
Snapple bottle inside the truck when no one looking.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I mean, I don't know what they do. I don't
think that they're not like a win a bag. They
don't have bathrooms on the mister softy truck. I don't
know what they do. And and and before hand sanitizers
were a thing, how do they wash their hands on
the truck.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Let's say he's got like a little like little little
itch in his nose.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He's got to pick his nose right as he was
his hands. Hey, all right, changing the subject slightly, Candy,
What about it?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Candy? Well, I was listening to.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
A radio show and the guy on the radio is
a sports station, was talking about the Baby Ruth Bar,
and uh uh do you know where the name Baby
Ruth candy Ball comes from? I mean, I'm gonna just
take an educated guess and say that it was after
the baseball player Babe Ruth. So you think they named
(09:55):
it Baby Ruth after Babe Ruth. Hmm, that's what you think. Well,
I don't even know what I feel like. Babe Ruth
came before the candy bar because Baby Ruth isn't as
old as Babe Ruth is. So I'm gonna go with
I'm gonna go with that. I'm gonna say Babe Ruth. Yeah,
(10:15):
I'm gonna say Babe Ruth, the baseball player came first,
and then Baby Ruth was invented because it was his
He liked candy bars and they said, let's make one
after you.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Instead of calling it Babe Ruth, they called it Baby
Ruth because they've got their pants suit off of them,
because they did it without his permission.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's what I'm going with. Well, I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The candy bar started around the time of Babe Ruth
already being a baseball player. Ah, but it's named after
Grover Cleveland. The president is daughter Ruth. Oh, but the
guy on the sports station made the same mistake you did,
of course, assumed that it was something to do with
Babe Ruth. Uh. He's like, oh, yeah, of course, of
course that guy likes he's a baseball player.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Of course he likes Baby Ruth named after Babe Ruth.
But it's not huh.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I just feel like it's one of those things somebody
could have looked up a one hundred years ago because
it's a nineteen nineteen twenty one candy bar.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
But anyway, just a little bit of trivia. There nothing
to do with Babe Ruth.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Coincidence, as they say, coincidence that the name is yep,
all right, very nice, there you go. But did you
know who invented the toilet bowl? Who gives a ship hio,
Thomas Crapper?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Is that? Is that? Is that your your pun?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Is that your no? No, Thomas Crapper. Thomas Crapper invented
the toilet bowl?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Are you one hundred percent sure on that? Because I
always hear that joke, but I'm not convinced.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I was always told that he did, But now I'm
gonna google it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Who invented the toilet bowl? Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Sir John Harrington, Thomas Crapper. Okay, another scary Internet No,
Thomas Crapper, Wait here it is. Thomas Crapper is often
mistakenly believed to have invented the toilet bowl due to.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The slang term Crapper.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
However, he made significant improvements to the system, including developing
the ballcock mechanism for automatically refilling the tank. He also
improved the valve system in eighteen eighty four, Wow introduced it,
and he introduced the pole chain system that decreased noise
(12:34):
and conserved water.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So are you saying he invented the pull chain and
the ballcock? The ballcock and the pull chain Thomas Crapper.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Wait a second, scary Did you ever pull your own
chain and play your own ballcock?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You have to have jiggle it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Right, the jiggle jiggle, jiggle the ball the ballcock. Well, well, okay,
so Thomas Crapp her was improved. He was instrumental in
improving the toilet But this other guy invented it, Sir
John Harrington. But Thomas Crapper, a real man with a
(13:14):
real last name. That has to do with the toilet bowl,
which is shouldn't it John crapper like John John. No,
but the other guy is Sir John Harrington. It's sir John,
So he John, Sir John invented to John. Why maybe
that's why you go to the John. Oh no, there's
another guy in there, Alexander Alexander Cumming.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
No, yes, what do you invent the tissue? Why does
this have to do? All these these toilet functions hold on?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Alexander Cumming was a Scottish watchmaker.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
He patented the flush toilet in seventeen seventy five.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He and he innovated the S shaped pipe below the ball.
But our aren't healthy poops supposed to be S shaped
as well, that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
The doctors say the S shaped poop. By the way,
according to the Internet, we go to the John because
of Sir John Harrington. So that is that that holds true.
But that's Alexander.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Alexander Cumming used Okay, so it used water to create
a seal and prevents sewer gas from entering the building.
Oh so all the raw sewage all the way outside
and down below.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You don't want that stink there.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So he he decided he made the S shape to
the water stable. Yeah, so water always stays down there
to prevent a smell.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
From rising up. Yeah, yeah, it's the it's the poisonous gas,
not the smell.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I just love how sir John, a coming, and a
crapper all have something to do with the toilet, which
is very much used the same way it was all
the way back then.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Today, isn't it amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How we have We have something in our house and
our aplients that we use we don't even think about,
but that like the toilet that has the technology from
the seventeen hundreds that we still use the same exact way.
Google the name Andrew, Youreinstein, and you'll see that he
also had a hand in the toilet. No, yeah, he
put his hand in the toilet. What Andrew, You're You're
(15:19):
such an asshole. We were just on a roll with
three legitimate men with names a toilet, but then you're
making up a fake one.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You're in Stein, You're in Stain. I said he had
a hand in. I said he had a hand in
the toilet as well, and knew like he did. Yeah,
you're you're in Stain would make more sense, Not you're
in Stein. That would have been too obvious. I had
to make it somewhat believable. Hey, uh, we were talking
about the the Baby Ruth candy bar as we were. Uh.
And I was in Target Monday or Tuesday on Tuesday,
(15:55):
on a Tuesday, a redheaded girl. Was she a stepchild? No? No,
she was wearing leggings and she was in the candy
aisle when I came around the turn with my cart
and I saw her about to shove a package or
Reese's Peanut butter cups. Now that you know they're an orange,
(16:17):
they're orange wrappers. She had navy navy leggings.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
She was trying to put the Reese's Peanut butter cup
package in her leggings to steal them, and her friends
were like all surrounding her. She like three or four friends.
They were like surrounding her so that like the cameras
wouldn't see her stuffing the Reese's Peanut butter cups in
her leggings. So, first of all, what kind of degenerate
do you have to be that you don't pay the
(16:41):
two bucks for the Reese's Peanut butter cups and your
friends are all in on it, because what they're going
to get part of the peanut butter cup package. Right,
that's that's okay, Petty and Petty.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
So they see me coming around the turn and they're like, oh,
I've done to see here, and they and she she
takes the She snaps her leggings closed and moves the
Reese's peanut butter cup away from her legging strap, like
he wasn't gonna put it in there. So I slowly
go down the aisle. I'm looking around. Yeah, da da
da da da dah.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm like, I'm dragging it on. I'm taking a long
time to go through the aisle because i want to
see if they'll like walk away. But they're sort of
standing there and they see that I'm not. I'm like
looking at the I'm looking at the things on the shelf,
and I'm procrastinating, and I'm like, we better leave. This
guy's not leaving. So they walk away with the peanut
butter cup bag. So I I leave the aisle behind them,
(17:32):
and I see them going into the next aisle, so
I take the cart like and I and I see
them again. She's trying to put the peanut butter cups
in her leggings.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So I turn into the aisle because you know, it's
the next aisle. It's totally normal for me to turn
the next aisle, and you're like, So she then her
friends then leave and go over to the pharmacy area
where like the drugs are, the shampoo and everything. Sure,
so I take the cart and I go and I
sort of go into the same area and they see
(18:04):
me again. You're like, this fucking guy. Is he a cop?
What the hell's going on? So she just takes the
peanut butter cups and she throws them on like the
soft soap bile on the shelf, and they leave.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So I stopped the crime. Scary Jones.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Congratulations, David Brody, you're a watchdog.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, I was going in that direction anyway because the
pharmacy area is on the way to the registers, so
I had to go that way anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
But I have no tolerance for theft. Stop it stop,
and you.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Know what, they're gonna get all melted and mushed.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
In your pocket. Anyway. God, by the way, I said
she was a redhead because I was going to reference
how I could spot her in the crowd of her
friends very easily, right, because she had red hair. Well
that's pretty cool, actually, I'm glad you did that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You know, see, I'm kind of well, first of all,
raise their kids.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
It's upsetting. Did you steal when you were a kid?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Never?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Boh, hold on a second. Oh maybe like you don't
smoke pot, but you did.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
No. I think when I was like nine years old
years old, I didn't know any better. I think I
might have stolen Swedish fish, stolen off you know, Swedish fish,
the jellyfish type things.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
That I'm aware of what it is. I was just saying,
it's you might have stolen they.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I might have stolen at test Tessie's Tessie's candy store
around the corner. We had an old school candy store,
soda fountain place, and I don't know. I guess they
were like a nickel they were, you know, they were.
They came individual you could just like peel it off
the thing.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And so you stole a nickels worth the candy. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know why I did that.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Well, I got caught stealing unintentionally. I may have told
this story like two hundred episodes ago, three hundred episodes ago.
I was in a candy store across the street from
my house or I always went like I was eight
years old, like you could go outside, go to the
candy store. Back then, it was you know, different world.
So I used to buy my comic books there. They
(19:57):
had the spindle, you know, the revolver rat.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, the vawling wrack.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yes, I used to buy my comics there. So I
went and I went to the you know, the counter
has all a in front of the county. They have
all the little dishes, the little divider areas well the
candy is. So I picked up a two cent piece
of bazooka gum.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It was two cents back then, and.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I picked it up, put it in my hand, and
then I was like looking at the comic books. So
I was like looking for a comics to I was like, oh,
when I come back later with my mom or I
have more money, I'll buy some comics. So I walked
out with the gum in my hand in my pocket.
I didn't realize it, and the guy's like, well where
are you going? I'm like what he's like trying to
steal the gum? Like no that he got my He
went and got my dad because he knew where he lived.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He rang the bell and had my father come down.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Wow again it was a police officer was none too
happy that I was allegedly stealing the gum, but he
knew I wouldn't steal the gum. So I don't apologize
to the guy and he's like, sorry, that never do
that again. Yes, I got I got accused of stealing
the gum.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I don't think I've really stolen anything. I've always
been an upstanding citizen. Uh uh. When it was the record,
they I earned that grape soda. Oh no, you didn't know.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You didn't. Okay, you know all the slices are like,
what about the grape? So I will say there might
have been a time or two where hold on and
is this considered stealing? Hold on where I had a
cart full of groceries and stuff and they scan everything.
(21:29):
And then I realize after the fact that they want
to scan the the Yeah, the case of water under
the under the cart. This is after I'm after I'm
walking away and I'm into the you know, halfway into
the parking lot, and I didn't go back.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I'm like, fucking is that stealing? That stealing?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yes, but that was unintentional stealing. Okay, that's not stealing,
that's not really stealing. See because I didn't know. I
didn't intentionally try and trick them or and conceal something
to do. Right, But once you knew, Now there's some
people that say, well, it was their mistake, they gave
it to you. Yeah, you can't be. You can't be
(22:09):
arrested for that, but I guess you could be. If
they saw you on the camera, they could say you
knew it was under there, because that's a scam, right.
That was like, if you know odds are they're not
going to see the water, you could deliberately put water
under there and act like, oh, they missed it, knowing
they're probably going to miss it.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
See, to me, I was just being lazy. I didn't
want to walk back.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I didn't want to go back in, so I got yeah,
I'm just gonna keeck at BJ's. The the registers. The
self checkout machine says did you check underneath your cart
for all items?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh? It says it talks to you.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, so if you don't check your items, it could
say we asked you if you checked, and you didn't check,
therefore you stole it?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Well, is this stealing when you let's say they're scanning
all your groceries and you notice that the they scan
in the wrong price on something maybe maybe something doesn't
make any sense, and there they scan it through and
it comes up as whatever it is, and you're like,
that can't be the price, and you know they might
have tagged it wrong if that's not or the bark oh,
(23:12):
or the bar code doesn't yea. Sometimes the bar code
doesn't match up to what's in the system, you know
what I'm saying. So so when they scan the barcode,
it comes up as a price, and you're like, you
look at it as it's on the screen. You're a
story a couple of years ago, like a Best Buy
where the TVs were coming up like a dollar on
the scan and they had to honor it and they
had they had to like stop it because people were
(23:32):
realizing it. Yeah, there was something about that where the
barcode was scanning, right. I don't think I don't think
you should stop them while they're scanning their barcodes. I know,
you know afterwards you go, hey, by the way, you
just want to let you know that the twenty dollars
thing I just bought came up two dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You might want to change that. Yeah, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm not gonna call their attention to that. I'm going
to call their attention to it. Already passed that loss
onto me next week. Yeah, because they're gonna raise their
prices if they keep taking.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
A loss on the turkey whatever or the steak I
just bought. I'll mention you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I think I think it evens doubt because I feel
like there's gotta be times where I got ripped off unbeknownst.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
To me and I paid more.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Okay, but you just but you just go, yeah, but
you just got your money because they rang it up wrong.
Now you can save the company from getting ripped off
by everybody else. Y'sah a company of people.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They're scary.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
They're still a manager whose job depends on the profit
and law statement. It's not just some big executive or
some CEO or the owner of the company. They're like, oh,
he's got money. The people who work they will get
fired because they lose money. They matter also, Yeah, but
they're not gonna They're not gonna pinpoint it on one individual.
No one's gonna get But if the still loses one
thousand dollars because you didn't tell them. They may Oh
(24:40):
you know what, whoever was in charge of that, it's
gonna get fired now. I need to think that they
don't get any repercussions. You'd like to pretend that, but
that's not how it worked, right. It's like when the
cashier gives you one hundred dollar bill back instead of
a dollar, you're like.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, fuck her.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well, at the time of the gas station, when I was,
when I was all the way down the road, halfway
down the Garden State Parkway, when I realized he gave
me change of one hundred, I'm like, whoa, I didn't
give him a hundred.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I gave him twenty. Oh, why didn't you call him
up in Venmo? He gave me eighty dollars back? Why
didn't you venmo him? I don't know it was it
was a gas station. We talked about it on this podcast. Yes,
I understand, because you told me to Venmo the ice
cream guy. You should have venmoed the gas guy. I
didn't know what cash No, it was already too late.
It was I was already gone when I realized the
(25:30):
error of their ways. Right, scary. You could have venmoed
the guy. We don't know his name. How do I
know what his Venmo is?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It was all the gas station, whether this shell station
or the Molden stations, tried this.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We talked about.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
He didn't try anything. You go back and listen to
the episode slices the gas pedal.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And you went faster.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You know if you don't remember this story slices, please
get my back. You knew that back then. I was right,
and now you'll agree with me again.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You're not right. You just do it too far away.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
You want me to Venmo the ice cream guy. You
could have venmoed the gas guy. You're very quick to
throw on my Venmo. I don't see you throw on
your Venmo. All right, we'll be right back about your Venmo.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I got it, I got it. Give you some gas
on the crapper. It's podcast. Hey, oh oh I got
a guess store. Oh you got a gas story? Go
for it? Do yeah? You know no, you do your
story because you're excited, but I'll do my guess. Well
it's not really a story. Okay, Well, all right, let's
(26:30):
so poor jet Ski Brian. He can't win. He or
the guy who's who's into virtual models on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
No, he's been having a week with the jet skis.
It's been a very busy week because the weather has
been great here in the Northeast. Every tour sold out.
Those jet skis are running up and down the Hudson River,
going around the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
And you know, okay, he basically, uh, you know, with
more what is it with With more skis on the
water and.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
More power comes great responsibility. With more of that comes
more trouble, more money, more problems right here in River City. Well, no,
because the public is inconsiderate, people showing up forty five
minutes late for their tour, almost missing it. This one
guy went on rogue the other day. This is I
wanted him to tell a story. But the short of
it is, you're on He was on a guided I mean,
(27:22):
obviously they do guided tours. Okay, you don't just rent
the ski and just run amok. You have to follow
the call. You know all the protocol, and you follow
the guide, You follow the leader, lead a lida, you
get your picture up at their statue Liberty, all that
great stuff. Well, this one guy figured an hour wasn't
enough for him, and he wasn't coming back. So he's like, yeah,
(27:44):
you guys are little bring the skis back in. Some
random guy goes, I think I'm a I think I
would take this for a spin. Peace out. What you're
gonna do about it? And he just went speeding up
the other way of the Hudson toward the George Washington Bridge.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
The guy went. He says, in all of his years,
jesseke Brian.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Has never experienced a client who said, fuck you in
your in your business.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I'm just I'm not done yet, I'm not done playing.
I'm going I'm just going for it. And he just
went rowed. With all the ferries and boats and things
that could have hit him, the.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Guy went crazy and and and then the guy kept
blowing the whistle and he said he was trying to
wave him in.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No such luck.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
This dude just took off for the next hour and
Jetski Bryan called the police. Oh he did, he did,
And there's cops on the water waiting for him, and
there are up and edge water. So they they they
apprehended the guy and they're like, are you fucking crazy, bro?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
What are you doing with theft?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yes, he could have pressed charges on the guy. He
didn't want to do all that, but he got his
ski back. But the guy was like wasting gas doing
like donuts And what if the guy ran out of
gas in the middle of the Hudson and then died
in the middle of the Hudson. I don't understand where
people's heads are at and how they think they're gonna
get away with something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I he has a daughter who steals RECs pinut butter
cups to target probably.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
But just that was kind of, you know, not funny,
but you know, could have been serious. But I just
the nerve of people, the balls, the balls on these.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Path I'll tell you the only thing I do that's
even close to that is I I love driving go carts,
you know, like the go cart track.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yep, I I I.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I know what you're gonna say, the driver, you know,
when they go like last lap, you pull into the
pretend not to see them.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I got almost and I don't want to. You're that guy,
You're the You're the jet ski stealer. That's your now.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Now, some places they power your car off so you
can't they go everybody on half power.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
But if they don't. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, and the cruise ship they can shut your power down.
But I'm talking about old school go carts. It's a
gas one.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
They can't shut you the gas ones, they can't shut
your power down.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
They gotta trust that you're gonna bring the thing back.
If you see the checkered flag. Look, if you're like
halfway through the track, you got to pull in. But
if they wave you in and you're like twenty feet
from the entrance, you're going too fast. I'm like, ah,
oh no, I can't control this thing. Oh next, I
see your next lap. Yeah, the brakes are out. Yeah,
(30:15):
I gotta take that extra lap.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
But I what I don't do is I don't take
the go kart up the Hudson River to the Choy exactly. Oh,
this cop is crashing in that river. You can't he
got you can't just it's like a like a lake
where you can just go. I'm gonna just go off
on a lake and drive around. It's the Hudson River, dude.
Airplanes have landed in that river. Yeah, Sully landed a plane,
(30:37):
and you imagine.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
How did he die. Well, he stole a jet ski
and an airplane. Landed on him.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
He's been having a week boy. Someone left him a
one star review, which which don't.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Don't do that. People to think about it. I think,
assess the situation before you leave.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What are they right, caught by the cops arrest No,
it a different person. They had a great experience. So
Brian called the guide and said, all right, this person
his client left this one star review and why whiz
is that?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
And then the guide said, you kidding me? No way.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
The guy did everything. No, he was so happy with
the photo package. He said, I'll come back again. Whatever
the case. The dude complained, he dimed him out, said
something about how unprofessional the tour guide was.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yet he was the guy was the nicest guy in
the world, so he loves leaves him.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
It goes from a five star experience to a one
star experience, because it sure is so. Brian tore m
a new asshole on Google in front of everybody, said
this is the owner here and I'm gonna let you know,
bump up bop, and then the guy took the review down.
But good, you know what you could really see? You
ever seen reviews like four stars? They go for four
(31:50):
to five.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Loved it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Had the best time, The food was great, service is great,
loved it, can't wait to go back. What are you
giving a four star review for? Yeah, you give him
a five, give him a five. Well five, they're trying
to make a living. You had a great time, and
you don't take it from five to one just because
your food was you know, came out late.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Do you do that? Brody? Do leave?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Would you leave a one star review on a place
you'd be fair? Right, there's a reason why there's one star,
two star, three star, four starre five star. You have
other options. You don't just go from five to one.
But I feel like this is where in a society
of extremes, I think the I would give like a
three star if I thought, like, well, the food was good,
but the service is terrible. But if the service was
(32:31):
terrible one time, and it's not indicative of the restaurant, right,
like how did the manager to handle it? But if
the food is awful, the presentations banned, I saw a
water bug crawling on the wall, then yeah, I would
probably give one star.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, but that hasn't happened, so you know, I mean
a lot has to go wrong to give one star.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But what other people don't understand is when they're leaving
these reviews, they're playing with people's livelihoods.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
These are people's You know, you can tank a business.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
The business could go out of business because of low
ratings because nobody wants to just you know, nobody wants
to go there because I mean I live in on
Google's Yeah wait a minute, So now you're concerned about consequences.
But stealing the water and having the cashier fired you
didn't care about. Yeah, oh when they misscanned, they miss
(33:15):
barcoded something to chopright, and somebody gets in trouble for that,
you don't care. But the restaurant you care about because
you can stuff your fat face. That's all you care about.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Small business. I don't want that restaurant to close. I'm
all for the local mom and pop. I'm mom for
the small business.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I don't want to Okay, So if you had a
case of water under your cart at a small mom
and pop grocery, oh, I'm telling you, then he's go back. Yeah,
the big corporation, I don't care. So it's okay to
steal from rich people. No, I'm not saying that either.
You're trying to corner me. Remember the homeless guy thinks
(33:49):
you're rich, So is it okay for him to rob
from you?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, he's telling all his buddies under the bridge he's
living under. Hey, that guy he's got a coat. He
must be rich. He can afford to get a new coat.
Let's go steal his coat. Now that mentality, No, it's not.
It's different.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
It is.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Look at the guy in the BMW. He can afford
his car. Let's go steal his watch in his wallet.
When you see when you see a big time, a
big time expensive store like a I'm just gonna call
it out, like a Gucci or a product. Get get
get get gets. No, it's not get smashed and grabbed.
(34:26):
We're people terrible, awful, terrible. But do I feel as
bad as I do if the mom and pop store
got robbed? I don't feel as bad. What if Mom
and Poppa pricks doesn't matter their mom and pop stores.
What if mom and pop are the nastiest people in
the world.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
They're on a mom and pop. But what if they
steal what I they're running the drug? Right? Is My
point is that no steal from anybody? Yeah? How about that?
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Nobody's no, let's not leave. Let's not leave it right there?
What is the CNN. We're not gonna leave it right there.
We're gonna keep coming. We gotta leave it right there.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
We're not gonna. We're not gonna. I'm I'm don't making
my point yet. You can't meet leave me right here.
We gotta go. We can do. We're up against it,
up against the break. No, we can. We can keep
talking if we want. This is a fucking podcast. We
do what we want to do. Now, weren't from our sponsor?
What are you trying to do? You can't take me
to break. We'll be back from a congressman from the
grey dat of Wisconsin. No, let me make a point here. Okay.
(35:24):
What I'm saying is I don't I'm not sayingealing is steal.
Stealing is wrong.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Okay, let's put it that way. Start stealing is wrong. Okay,
So you want people to be apprehended. But my question,
my thing is this if in the overnight two stores
got robbed. One of them was the Christian Lubaton shoe store,
and the other one is a mom and pop little
like newstand.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Okay, I would feel more.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I would feel worse for the mom and pop news
stand that got robbed, because they're gonna have a bigger
recovery to get back to where they need to be.
Then then a bunch of shoes that were taking out
of the cusial Lubitton because they're a major corporation who
could afford it. But that does not mean I'm condoning it.
I'm just saying I still want the thief to hold on.
I still want the thief to get caught, caught, I
(36:15):
still want to I still want them to be I
still want justice to be served.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I'm just saying it's before.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
If the crime of breaking into a store is six
months in prison, let's just say six months, that's it.
You break into a Mom and pop six months in prison.
Are you saying if you break into a Gucci store,
your penalty will only be two months. I'm not saying
that either. I'm saying no, no, no, Yes. You do
the crime, you do the time you pay, you do
the crime. So this crime is the same. You're just
(36:42):
your level of sympathy is different. The level, that's right,
the sympathy level of do I feel as bad for
the big, big box corporation.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I don't feel as bad, so let me ask you
a question.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
But it's still awful, and I still want the hold on.
I still want the criminal to be caught because it's wrong.
Because that's justice, that's that's the law. I'm just saying,
if I just don't feel as much, okay, sympathy for
the big box corporation, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Let's say, because they can afford it.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Might you understand Let's say Mike has a gun, and
Mike goes out and shoots a poor person, and then
he goes and shoots a rich person. Nope, you're trying
to Luigi MANGIONI me, and I'm not going to get
answer that question, because that's exactly how people feel and
why they're trying to feel justified and sympathizing with that guy.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
He's a killer. A killer is a killer, and he
needs to go to jail.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I'm not talking about whether or not a guy a
guy ran an insurance company and may have denied coverage
or I'm not talking about that. I'm just saying, let's
say you shoot a homeless guy, you and you shoot uh, Okay,
let me ask you a question. Would you be more
upset if somebody shot a player on the Mets who
was a bad player, or if they shot a good player.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Equal, because it's human life we're talking about. Okay, I'm
just checking. Yeah, you try.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Oh man, they shot at utility infield.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
He's hitting two ten. That sucks. No, but now god
they shot one. Somebody go, oh my god. You got
to compare apples to apples.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Man, this is this is specifically talking about robbing of
a would you would you be more upset if if
somebody shot a Yankee or a man?
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Equal, because it's a human life. Liar, fire my head.
Hurt's talking to you. It really does.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Break.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Now we'll take a break, be right back after this
right here. So is this our last break? Because I
got a guest story. There's another one. What what are
you rushing us to the end for like that? No,
I'm just asking. I want to make sure I'm a
man of the people. I'm trying to give the slices
of maximum one out of podcast. No, you know you're
(38:57):
a man of the poor people. Oh that's fine. Maria
Baron on Instagram sent me a reel wanted me to
tell you about. It's scary.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Lambeau caught fire for allegedly fueling while running the vehicles.
A picture of the Lamborghini on fire at the gas station.
Oh man, really, now, so here's my guess story. Now
that I've told you that I was getting gas, and
I gave the guy on my credit card and I said,
(39:28):
give me thirty dollars a regular.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I don't need a receipt. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
So a few minutes later, it comes back. It gives
me the credit card and the receipt. And I said, oh,
I didn't answer for the receipt, but all right, no problem.
He says, oh, I'll throw it out for you.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I go, no, no problem. I have a garbage bag
in my car. I throw it in the uh.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I said, I'll just throw it in my garbage bag.
He says, all right, it's great, Thank you, sir. I
appreciate that. He said, no problem. All good, have a
great night. And I start my car and I put
the car and drive and he yells.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I'm still popping your gas. Oh shit, Wow, the pump
was still in my car. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
He gave me the credit card and the receipt because
I had told him give me thirty dollars. He was
able to print the receipt in advance because Surry knew
it was thirty dollars. I thought, I thought, you know,
old school, you print the receipt when it's done.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
You. I didn't even look. You didn't even look over there.
I had the whole comp So I'm like, holy shit.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
All I could think about was my car is gonna
blob because of the Lambeau picture Maria sent me. And
you started, you started, you started the car, Yes, and
I almost drove away.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
I put the car and drove it. Wow, that's that
was a close one. That was a close one. Yes,
I could have driven off with the thing in my
I could have blown up and then terrible. So I've
I've given up on Google. I think I'm now, oh
(40:59):
you you know everything on your own.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Now. I hate to say it, but AI is taking
over my life, so no matter where I so okay,
So even if you go to Google, Google uses answers first,
they uses gem they use Gemini. Gemini is their AI, right, Yeah,
so AI will answer first. But now I'll just go
(41:22):
to chat GPT and use the open AI if I
want something. If I need something, to the chat GPT,
the liar Jet chat gpt the liar. So now I
didn't do this, but I was going to translation he did.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
I I didn't. I didn't. No, No, no you did
you did? No, No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I didn't do I didn't go through with the action
because I in fear of being made fun of. But
let me tell you the end of the story first,
who would make fun of you?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Scary?
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Know what?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I know?
Speaker 1 (41:53):
A childhood A chat eight childhood icon for me passed away.
Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan the wrestler.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I thought you're gonna say, NICKI minaj No.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Hulk Hogan changed the face of wrestling. He has got
a lot of a lot of stuff that he's he
did back in the day and when he was you know,
w w O, and when he became Hollywood and Hulk
all that stuff, and when he turned evil and he's
back to good again. But I watched wrestling with my
friends and got the figures and the whole thing because
(42:27):
of Hulk and you know his you know all the
storylines and stuff. So anyway, so he passed away, right,
So he passed away, God rest his soul. And here
I am thinking, huh, why don't I go find that
picture that I took with Hulk Hogan when he was
back on the morning when he came up to the
Morning show. But now he was on like four or
(42:49):
five times he has been right, But my camera roll
has fifty thousand pictures in it, and I don't have
him separated, so I don't know where the hell and
and I don't know where he is in my camera
roll sow instead of googling something, I just asked chat chept, Hey,
chat gpt, when was Hulk Hogan on Elvis Duran in
the Morning Show? And chat chept comes up with the
(43:11):
answer like right away, And so I'll just then go
find the date and go back to my camera roll
and then you know, see where it corresponds and lo
and behold there it is now. I didn't post it
because everyone started posting Hulk Hogan pictures and I'm like,
you know what, I better not get in on this
because they were industry people trying to make fun of
(43:32):
people that were doing this.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
So I said, yeah, so I'm not gonna do that.
So I didn't end up posting it, but I end
also could have asked.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
You could have asked chat chat dB because you told
you chat dB because I have all my whole Hogan
pictures on my Facebook page from when he was you know,
when they were new, and I have the date on them.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
And more importantly, most.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Of your celebrity pictures scary I took with my phone
because you never had a phone or you always were like, bro,
do you just take you and a synonym?
Speaker 2 (43:59):
I have you? Would I have you with Sabriena Coppenter,
I have you with Lady Gaga pictures. Could you send
me all the pictures of me and celebrities when you
have a chance. Thank you, that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yeah, don't hold your breath. So doesn't Apple have a
feature where you can do an image search?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (44:15):
But yeah, but you how do I get I have
to actually identify a picture with Hulk in there first
before it finds it. Right.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Yeah, so you so you put a picture of Hulk
Hogan on your phone and find this guy. I could
do that.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
I could find similar pictures, Yeah, find similar Well, you
could be like me. And as soon as I take pictures,
I put the pictures in folders immediately. So all my
pictures on my phone, every one of them is in
a folder.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
See.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
See that's way too organized for me, but you know
you also, I told chat Ept, I said, hey, I'm like,
you know, show me, show me that picture. Show me
a picture of me Scary Jones with Hulk Hogan, and
it finds it from the from the web, if it's
published somewhere, if especially, if it's like images.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
I didn't. I didn't remember I met Ozzy Osbourne backstage
at jingle Ball one year. You did.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
I didn't remember what year, so I just asked, yeah, oh,
I'll tell you the story real quick. So in two
thousand and two, when Ozzie's show, the Osbourne's was really big,
we had him at SZE one hundreds jingle Ball in
December of two thousand and two. Now at ZE one hundred,
I feel comfortable saying I was the only metal head, Yes,
(45:24):
that I was the only real Ozzy Osbourne fan, and
if anyone should meet him, you know, I thought I
should be able to meet him, So you did.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
So Elvis, you know, he's Elvis, so of course he
gets to you know, uh, pull strings, and as well
he should. And he his boyfriend at the time, wanted
to meet Ozzy Osbourne, as did Elvis. They both wanted
to meet Ausie. So I said, I said, Elvis, is
there any way you can help me out here? And
he said, yeah, you'll come in with us.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
You know you'll come in. You got to meet Ozzie Brodie.
I know you're a fan.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
So we went into the dressing room and Ozzie was
in there. And this is two thousand and two, so
not everyone had a cell phone with a camera on
it whatever, and they were like, you know, no pictures
Ozzie's you know, I mean even back then, Ozzie was like, Aussie,
I'm still a loud of it, right he was. So
I got to meet Ozzie. I said, I'm a fan.
(46:19):
I really enjoy your your whatever. I shook his hand,
I talked to him for a few seconds, and then
Elvis and his then boyfriend got to meet him. At
Elvis did get a picture with him because they were like,
let's get a picture with Elvis because he you know,
Elvis is a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
So Elvis and I believe his boyfriend at the time,
got a picture with Ozzie. So if Elvis has that picture,
then that would be whatever. That whatever he was wearing
that day is what I what I met him wearing
but I don't have a picture of it because it
wasn't like everybody got a picture back then. So I
did get to meet Ozzie and talk to him.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Why don't you you did take a picture with him?
Speaker 1 (46:52):
No, I told you ant like it was a no
picture environment. But Elvis got a picture because his people
were like, hey, let's get.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
A got it now.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
I wonder if you can ask chat GPT right now
to say, show me a picture of Elvis Duran with
Ozzy Osbourne.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
I wonder if it'll come up.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
I'm sure Google would happen. Hold on, I don't know,
not Google but posted it. Yeah, I'm just you know,
oh yeah, a little Dran and Ozzy Osbourne from jingle Ball.
We'll see if that but chat gipt will definitely find it.
So but anyway, anyway, that that that's I'm not seeing it.
But it was a long time ago. I don't I
don't know if he posted it, and truthfully, it's not
(47:27):
the guy he's married to now that was with him, right,
so maybe it's not online anymore. Maybe not anyway, and
I don't even know if Elvis has a copy of it.
They may have taken the picture like for their purposes.
I don't remember who took the picture of hy, but
I did get to meet Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
That's awesome. So um let's see.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
Yeah, I got a question for you. Yeah, you were
talking about leaving with the water. I told you about BJ's.
They tell you like check under your cart. Yes, I'm
a member of Costco and BJ's. And by the way,
who doesn't love a hosteale Bjhi? Uh?
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Did I ever tell you I sold that joke? No
for how much? I think I got seventy five bucks
for it? They got ripped off. Well, okay, so you
do you remember Sean? Yes? Yes, producers? Yeah, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
So Sean was a very non funny guy who thought
he was funny. Would that be fair to say? Yes?
Speaker 2 (48:27):
And he had a laugh like.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
Yeah, anyway, Sean, while he produced our show prior to
you and I becoming producers, he won he did stand
up here in the open mics whatever. So one day
he mentioned BJ's wholesale and I said, I made that
joke off the top of my head. Who doesn't like
a host? Be a hostale Bjo? And he went, that's
(48:52):
a great joke. Can I use that joke? I'll buy
it from you. So I was like, well, I I
sell jokes to Jay Leno and Bill Maher. I said,
they give me seventy five bucks. He goes, I'll give
you seventy five bucks. I said, ah, you can use
it for a year, but after that it's my joke again.
He said, all right, so for a year back in
the early two thousands, you sold the job. I saw
(49:14):
the joke to him and he did it on Sticky.
I did it last night. I killed like, oh great,
I'm glad anyway, So the joke is mine again because
I want to give it to him for a year.
So I'm at Costco. Now. You know people sample, They
have the people who don't work at Costco. They work
for the company that samples the food. Yes, that's why
when you ask him like where something is, they go,
I don't know, I don't work here. Yeah, they're just
(49:35):
working there for the day. They've got gloves on and
a hairnet whatever.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Well when you go, when you go up to sample
the food, scary, do you say anything to the people
who worked there?
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Never?
Speaker 1 (49:48):
No, you just take the food and walk away. Oh waity,
if somebody's standing over the samples, and say hi, oh yeah,
you of course filling the cops.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
Yeah you got it.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, you have to actually make a little small talk
to make it look like that you care, right, yeah, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Why why wouldomen?
Speaker 1 (50:05):
I'm at Costco this weekend, and you know they have
that they set up at the end of an aisle.
That's where they had the little into the aisle. You
have to pass them the end cap yep, right, So
this woman is in the aisle. It's a wide aisle,
so you can walk by with your car pasted her.
People are coming up from the opposite direction, so they're
(50:27):
coming up from behind her, ye, walking by, reaching over
with their right hand, grabbing whatever it is and taking it,
and you keep going disgusting, no eye contact, no hello,
no thank you?
Speaker 2 (50:39):
No, this is really good. Don't even care what the
product is.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
I don't know if they've already like went by once
and now and looped around.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
How do you like take it and just take it
and like leave? People are disgusting. I hate that. How rude?
Is that completely obnoxious? They thank the woman or the
guy working there.
Speaker 1 (50:57):
They're not making a lot of money, they're serving you snaw, Hey, thanks,
thank you. I'm not saying leave a tip, no, yeah,
backhand the pig in the blanket.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
Bam. People don't have any people don't know how to
communicate anymore. We've lost that. You know, we're in the
We're in the dusk.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
We're in the twilight of communication, of human communication, don't
you know. Yeah, look, I understand like you don't want
to thank people online, but you're taking the woman's snacks.
At least say hey, thanks, yeah, mixer, small talk, give
him the neighbor wave, give in the head, give him
the point. Ye appreciate it. Give the.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Boys podcast. We will be right back. I have a
couple of small things for you. Your penis.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, I get it over with. Get to get it
out of the way. First of all, I'm going to
a pool party with Robin, my girlfriend this weekend. That's tomorrow,
is right, Yeah, Well it helps all less you listen
for the first time. That's why I gave it some context.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
You should just be like my girlfriend Robin, like Rose Pook, Lomono, Vextebles.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
And it's kind of weird because it's her uncle's house
and it's all her side of the family and people
who have some of them, which I've only met once
or twice casually at a wedding and it and I
don't know if I want to go in the pool.
I gotta be honest and brody, you know me. I'm
a pool slot. I mean, I see a pool, I'm
jumping in. I'll jump into a puddle of water as
long as it's outside anyway. It's an ing ground pool
(52:29):
in a suburb. I mean, it's got all the hallmarks
of a Scary Jones Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
And it's gonna be here. Is there a DJ by
the pool?
Speaker 1 (52:37):
I don't know if we go that far, but it's
gonna be a hot sunny day. Why don't you want
to go in the pool? You don't take your shirt
off in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
I feel weird going in a stranger's pool with people
I don't really know. I don't know is it right
for me to go in this pool?
Speaker 2 (52:53):
Should I am? I am?
Speaker 1 (52:55):
I weird for the hotels, this people, the people in
the pool, you don't know. Yeah, but those people are
complete strangers. These people are rich people. These people are
I'm embarrassed in front of acquaintances, but I'm comfortable.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (53:08):
So the level of comfort well, because the level of
comfort is extremely comfortable in front of strangers, not comfortable
at all in front of like these acquaintance type people,
and then extremely comfortable in front of my friends. It's
like a dip in the action because these because I
(53:29):
was like, I don't know, it's like they're not my
you know, I kind of it's just weird. I just
feel it's weird when you know, when you kind of
know when you're introduced to people, Oh, you're at a
party and it's it's just a bunch of people that
kind of vibe together and you might have kind of
shook their hand once before, and I'm more I'm less
(53:50):
comfortable there than I am with complete strangers or my friends.
Do you understand where're coming from or not real? When
you first said it, I thought you were being an idiot.
I thought you were being like really, ain't on the weird,
But I just remembered something last summer my friend who
I worked with many years ago at Chuck e Cheese
not paper Menu, a different friend. He says he's I've
(54:11):
never been to his house. He has a new house.
I hadn't been there at the time, and he says oh,
I'm having a year end pool closing party. I'm sure
I told stories about being there. Huge house. He says,
bring your bathing suit, gonna have a big party. I
got a pool, I got a hot tub.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
Come on over.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
So I go to the party. I'm wearing, you know,
a shorts and a T shirt normal for the summer.
And I got a bag with my pull stuff in it.
And I'm looking at the pool, very nice pool with
rock formations and a waterfall, beautiful pool. And it occurred
to me that when I change into my bathing suit
and my T shirt, because again I burn, I always
wear a T shirt. Am I going to be judged
(54:51):
number one for wearing a T shirt by people that? Like,
there's people there I knew from, like like high school,
which is a long time ago. We have mutual friends.
I haven't seen him in a long time, but they
know me. And I have somebody else to work from,
chuckiech you haven't seen him in a while. Like, there's
people there who like know me but don't like they're
not like my friend friend friend friend friends. And then
I have my friend friends that are there it's their house,
(55:12):
and then it's strangers there, like do I wanna do?
I want to sit in a hot tub of people
I don't know but sort of may know. I had
the same feeling scary, So you don't want to get.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
In the pool?
Speaker 1 (55:22):
Are they gonna like, are they gonna like judge me
for swimming underwater rather than swimming over the water. Understand,
I like to do flips in the water, But why
is that guy flipping in the water? Like, why can't
I be myself in the pool? You're not going around
right if I go to like a hotel pool, You're right,
nobody knows who you are. Somebody who gives a fuck?
Now They're like, oh, isn't that Rob's friend David. Didn't
(55:43):
he work at the radio stage? I know that guy,
that guy from the radio stage. You're feeling that feeling
that I'm feeling, if that's the feeling more than a
feeling more than but I woun you with.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Your close friends.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
You could still you go back to doing your backflips
and wearing a shirt in the pool, and they'll but
the peripheral friends, yes, like you're you're You're at Robin's
family's house. About thanks the guys she's dating all this time,
like it's a kind of like a I know you,
but I don't. That's the people I'm least comfortable with.
And I don't know why I'm with him. All Right,
I'm not going to I gotta I got a tangent conversation.
I need your opinion, slices, I need your opinion. Scary
(56:19):
if you had a hot tub right in your house,
like on your at your where you live, your house,
like let's say you had a house, your own hot
tub in your backyard, whatever, you'd go in your hot tub. Right.
Let's say you were the only one in your family,
would you ever go in your hot tub naked? No?
Speaker 2 (56:39):
Never, never, even if I'm the only one here. Never.
Speaker 1 (56:43):
Okay, well, okay, the reason I'm asking, I didn't ever
go in my hot tub naked. But you feel like
you feel like you're naked. Right, The water is going
in your bathing suit and it's going in everything, right, Okay,
So if if somebody else is in your hot tub,
that water is going all over their private parts and
the hot water throwing it up.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
Yes, so.
Speaker 1 (57:03):
If so, if my family was in the hot tub,
I'm no problem with my family, right, But if if
my kids were like, oh, We're gonna have some friends
over have them in the hot tub.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
I drained that.
Speaker 1 (57:11):
Thing and refilled it. Okay, all right, Now that being said,
we have a pool here in the community.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
I go in the pool.
Speaker 1 (57:21):
There's strangers in the pool. The water is mixing with
their private parts, and they're under arms and their hair
and their ears and then floating over to me. But
I'm in the pool. You go in public pools, same thing.
The water is up their ass. And in the janital area. Okay,
water is everywhere. The reason I'm bringing this up is
(57:41):
my realtor who I've talked about, the guy who sold
my house.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
He's a big slice.
Speaker 1 (57:46):
Now he's gonna get a big hick out of this
conversation and needs your opinion because I think I'm totally
totally makes sense to me, Slices, I need to know
if it makes any sense to you. So when he
was in the process of selling our house, I had
the hot tub on covered because I was heating it up.
I don't know why I was uncovered whatever, the case
was uncovered. So he walks over to it and he goes, oh,
(58:09):
what kind of floating device do you have for the temperature?
And he goes to reach in my hot topic.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
Oh oh, what are you doing? Whoa? He goes, I'm
just gonna.
Speaker 1 (58:17):
I wanted to see what kind of a temperature gage
you have in the hot tub or my chemical float
or whatever it was. I go, I don't want your
dirty hand in my hot tub. He's like, my hands
are clean. I said, I don't want your body pops
hot tub. That's a little much, Brodie, So hold on.
So he calls me the other day and he says,
(58:38):
I listened to your podcast. I heard you talking about
your pool, community pool and the baby shitting in the
you know, in the diaper whole thing. How is it
that the guy who wouldn't let me stick his hand
in his hot tub for a split second goes in
a pool with strangers. Do you not see the different
scary between a private pristine water in my personal hot
(58:59):
tub that at least I can't control the community pool,
but I can at least control I can't. I think
you're over thinking it now, You're you're you're weird. Who
cares about a random hand in your hot tub? It's it,
it's hot water, and it's just gonna it's all those
to the filter anyway.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
I don't know. I don't have I don't skive that,
and I don't skip the community pool. Let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 1 (59:19):
Let's say you you and I were at a hotel,
like you and I used to stay in hotel together
when we used to go on business trips. And you're
taking a bath. You're in the hot tub. You're taking
a bath, Yeah, dude, do. And I'm like, scary, Can
I come in for a minute? And You're like, well,
I'm having a bubble bath. You can't see me naked, Sure,
come on in. And I walk in, and it's scary
Jones in the in the in the bath. If I
walk over and stick my foot in the tub where
(59:41):
you're having a bath, you wouldn't be grossed out.
Speaker 2 (59:44):
No, I would. You'd be okay. I stuck my foot
in the tub you were in, I'd be okay with it.
I'd be all right with it.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
So the water is going between my toes and swimming
over and unto your private area, Yeah, okay with that.
I'm all right with it. It doesn't bother me. I'm
not lying, right, all right, that's it, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Next week I'm going to tell you about about a
surprise party, and this question really awkward situation been put in. Yeah,
if you're if you're a restaurant eating the bowl, if
you eat a bowl of soup, you eating a bowl
of soup. Let's say it's let's say it's mons of
bowl soup with dylling it. Yeah, and I stick my
finger in the soup and then pull my finger out.
(01:00:31):
You're fine with that. That's gross because that's going in
my mouth. Everything in that bowl, the contents of that
bowl is going in my mouth. I'm ingesting it. I'm
not ingesting the water that you're putting your foot in.
So it's completely different. Sometimes water goes in your mouth
when you're in a pool, No it doesn't. You never
come up up from under the water and go spit
the water out. Now the water gets on your lips,
(01:00:54):
it's on your nose, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
In your nose, all right. You can tell us about
next episode.
Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
What's the story you were teasing the story it's about
a surprise party and how I was put in a
really awkward position.
Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Brocklyn Boys, Brolan Boys, brock
