Oh, let's get that outtle down the way. I'm still

Scaries back in Town's. I've been traveling and I have
to tell you I love Florida. I love it. I
may move there someday. You know. First of all, half
of the Tri state area has moved to South Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I mean, I try state areas fifteen million people I
went to.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Half of them have not I went to. I mean, obviously,
I'm I'm actually trying to paint the picture. I went
to Delray Beach for the new through New Year's Eve.
All the businesses that I know, a lot of them
from New York, New Jersey are opening down there, like
the Gabriella's Steakhouse and Red Bank. I don't want to
go through all of them, but there's at least five
or six. Then in Miami and Palm Beach and West

(01:46):
Palm you got another slew you got another dozen businesses.
So these businesses owners are literally going back and forth
or there. They realized that their audience is down there
in Delray Beach, specifically, I could find anybody from Delray Beach.
Everyone fir. I was meeting people from Long Island. I
was getting recognized on the streets no less than four times,

(02:08):
Scary Jones. And this one woman freaked out in a
steakhouse forgot her name. She doesn't listen anymore, but she's like,
oh my god, is this is it? Is that you?
I said, Uh, just watch your name, I said, Scary

(02:30):
screaming in a in a in a proper steakhouse at
the bar over Martini's. I'm like, whoa, And then she
immediately shoves the phone in Robin's face and says, could
you take a picture? Could you take a picture. She
should have flip the phone on herself at that point
taking the selfie did that joke? But she did, Robin.
Robin's so great in those situations because I feel so

(02:51):
bad because because they just completely like blur her out
and I say, and this is my girlfriend, Robin.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh, this must have been the week that just she
was down there with you instead of the week that
you went without her.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Well, then that's a whole that's all get to that.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
But yeah, but I'm so glad we have a podcast
so that you can talk about how you got recognized.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Isn't that great? No, I'm painting the picture that a
lot of people. And I was getting dms from so
many slices and listeners like, oh my god, you're ten
minutes from me. I live in Papino, I'm up in Jupiter,
so that whole east coast of Florida from like I guess,
Port Saint Lucy where the Mets play, and and U
Zero Beach all the way down to Miami and the

(03:37):
Gables and and Coca up the.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Morning show in that area just two thousand and five, So.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, we're on there. And we used to be on
at a station in West Palm on Wild ninety five
to five, so you know, and all the transplants, lots
of new Jure, what about what? What about Wink FM?
We were on Wing FM for a while. We were
that's right, that actually that was the West coast of Florida.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
But you said the west coast, you said Old ninety
five five.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's West Palm, that's West Palm Beach, that's East coast.
But anyway, bro Bro, some of the best Italian food
at this place, Tromantes. I later go on to find
out that it's Angelo's of Mulberry Street and the guy
from Ario's in Bay Ridge came together to make Troumantes.
I'm like, no, wonder why this food tastes so good.

(04:23):
We were looking at our chops. The best metagauth I've
had in a long time is in Delray Beach, Florida.
So I gotta say.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Shout out to everybody on the West coast listening to
the podcast. Has no idea who any of those places are.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
They have West coast listeners, West coast Florida. Listen, what
are you talking about? We have Washington State and Oregon?
What are you talking? Get a handful?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
But anyway, so that they count, they talkbacks.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
But I'm just so excited. You know, one of these
days I'm gonna I'm gonna go down there and I'm
gonna I'm gonna buy a second property if I could
ever afford it. I can't afford the what I'm in
right now. Apparently that's another story. But I didn't even
tell you about this one.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh I didn't know about that, all right, All right,
well listen, you went on vacation. We got to talk
about that. We're going to talk about the car that
you got a new car, and talk about that. Uh,
you screwed over your girlfriend. We have to talk about that.
So a lot of scary Jones stuff today. I've got
some stories as well. So, uh, this should be a
good episode.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Why don't you what do you want to talk about first?
Because I want you to, well, I talk about your stuff.
I mean, we're naturally talking about vacation, right, so let's
stay in the mode. I mean, we didn't even talk
about I mean, I know how your honkah was. We didn't.
I'm actually the honkah kind of ended when Christmas started.
I had the Feast of the Seven Fish with my
sister and my dad and everybody.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
We hosted it the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, but but what's the ploratically The plural of fish
is fish fish, So I say Feast of the seven Fish, but.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I think I think it's the fishes.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now. We brought it back in a big way this year.
We had extended family over and my sister just did
an amazing job. I helped her. I was, I was.
I was the fried daddy, and she was, you know,
she she did some amazing cooking. We spent a lot
of time with the kids, the nephews. And then, what
does fry daddy mean? You ate all the fried food?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I was on the friar. I did all the so
I fried the shrimp, I fried the kalamba, the kallama,
the calamari. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was good.
We did it. We dusted it with semolina. Was so
good when you do it like that. Anyway, I learned
a lot. And then and then we just had so
much great food. But it started with going to jingle

(06:30):
Ball Miami with the morning show and then we hung
out for a while. Oh my god, Straight Innate, we
have to talk about him. He he got, well, yeah,
he I don't know what you would do in this situation,
but uh, we're gonna be very vague about it because
a former employee started rubbing up on him. We were

(06:53):
Kiki on the River on a Sunday night and we
were just hanging out and it.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Was listen, listen, I love a good straight Nate story.
But he seems to be getting into trouble at bars
all the time.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You tell me this one wasn't his fault. It was
Gandhi and her boyfriend and Nate and I went out
to eat and then Gandhi invited a fifth person who
was a former employee, and god, and she was. They
were texting each other under the table. I love that
when people text each other across from the table. Is
it someone I know? Yes?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
And okay, so look at the look at the letter
I'm making. Is this the letter the first name?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
No? No, no, no, no, no, anyway, but anyway, you
know her, she who's is anyway, So she was dinner
with us, and and then she's like, oh, I'm getting
these vibes from Nate, you know, to Gandhi. And then
gand He's like, you should go for it, go for it.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well wait, wait, this person confided in Gandhi. She thought
she was vibes from Nate.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
She was gone.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Gandhi instead of talking her out of it was God.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
He was like, go for her. Yes, it was her fault.
She's the she, she's to blame on this. Gandhi's a menace.
So so she basically so so Now the best part
was we we finish our food at Kiki on the River,
it turns into a crazy turn up party. We had
to lose our table because the big spenders were right
behind us to take over. Were they serving turnips? I'm

(08:15):
confused when no. The Tiki on the River is a
European style supper where you do you do? You start
with the dinner and the dessert, and then then all
of a sudden, the music gets loud, the lights go low,
and people start and then whatever table you're on turns
into a party unless you can't afford that table, in
which case big spenders come off, roll off the yachts

(08:37):
with tons of girls and take over that table and
spend eight thousand dollars in model service. So we weren't
about to do that, so we took our place at
the bar for the rest of the night. So we
got up, we got up from our dinner and then
next thing, you know, the music so and Nate's looking
around is like, oh my god, there's so many hot
girls here. Oh, look at all these girls, women from

(08:59):
all of Oh that sounds that sounds right, right. And
then all of a sudden, someone comes right up. She
comes from right from from in front of him, turns
around and starts throwing her ass in his face, twirking,
tworking against his crotch and going nuts to the music,

(09:20):
going nuts. And then he's like, what almost like to say, Hey,
all these girls here that you're looking at, you're all fucked.
You're fucked now because they all think that you're.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
With me.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
And him, And she but claimed him.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
She butt claimed it, and then Gandhi and Brandon said
by good night, and they left. They left me and
Nate standing there with her, and we're like, and Nate,
you know, Nate wants to be boys with me. He's like, oh,
he wants to look at the sights and see what's happening.
And she's like, you're there with us, and she's like
grinding and grinding, and she take a hind and Nate,

(09:57):
it's like, cut me out of this. So I said,
I gotta I gotta go to the bathroom. I'm gonna
show you where it is. I got. So he follows
me into the bathroom and he goes, what are we
gonna do? We gotta get rid of her. This is crazy.
I'm having an awful fucking time. It was hysterical. Nate
was like trapped, you know what. Okay, So what happened.

(10:19):
That's it. She screwed up his night and then we left,
did the night end, And night ended with her leaving
finally taking a hit, and then the wind was out
of everybody's sales and we went home. I was tired anyway,
And and Nate never said to her like, hey, listen,
I like, it's a friend, but this is awkward. But
it was hilarious. Poor girl, Well you know, you think

(10:41):
about this for a second date. It's not a it's
not a bad problem to have, Brody. I wish I've
never had it. I don't know if I was a
hot guy. I wish I was like a ten, right,
in which case I'd have to like, well, you're halfway there.
You got the one. Yeah, no, that would be a five.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
But no, scared. I'm saying, if you draw a ten,
you've got at.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Least half of ten is five. Give me that much credit.
The number.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Half of the number ten is one and then the zero.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I gotcha say, physically yeah, visually yes, but I would
I would love to have that problem. Like, oh, poor Nate,
the world's smallest violin playing for you. You know you
have girls like like kind of grinding up on you. Yeah,
he's got to fight them off. So it's like it's
like you, you know, it's like you're so hot. I'm

(11:32):
so hot. I can't deal that that that's the position
he's in. I'm so hot.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Okay, So does does Nate say anything to Gandhi the
next day?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Like what the f? Well we all broke for vacation
after that, and then today in the in the control
room in the studio, I really I brought the topic
up because you know, this was off the air, and
I said, hey, how about that night? And then it
exploded into like back and forth we never mentioned it

(12:01):
on the air, where I guess we're gonna cover it
at some point, but but uh maybe tomorrow, who knows.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
But as long as it's safe to talk about the
you know, not mentioned names.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, but it's just listen. I I love her to death.
But but you first of all, if a guy did
that to a woman, forget it, that would be it
would be out of the bar. Yeah, I mean yeah,
but I guess we know what harass meant. Well, harass
meant that's what I said. Very funny. But anyway, thank you.

(12:33):
So that was that. Yeah, that was vacation and uh yeah,
I guess. So let me ask your question. Where was
uh where was Robin during this evening? Okay, well that
was that would come back now. That was well, that
was That was Florida Part one. Then I flew back
to New York. Flew back to New York for Christmas
with the family, and we'll talk about Florida part two.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, coming up, I got a bone to pick what
you it's the Boys podcast. Hey, before we talk about
what happened in Florida, you were talking about what word
were you saying in Italian.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Gallamade gallery Calamari Calamari. Right.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I saw this video. I sent it to you,
but you didn't watch it. I'm want to play the
audio from it because it's a guy.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
He happens to be Puerto Rican.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
He's talking about his mom making Italian food and uh,
the sounds you hear at the end of the video
is her hitting him over the head with a metal tray.
See if you can hear it.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Nothing like being Italian on the holidays. Mom's in the
kitchen getting the homemade sauce ready. Hopefully she puts a
enough lorcado. How many times do I have to teach you?
But I send him back to Puerto Rico to learn Italian?

(13:53):
So that's hysterical.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's regatta. There's a couple of funny videos about Gaba Ghoul.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh, yeah, I saw I saw that one.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, but which got by the way, gaba ghoul. If
you think Golla mode doesn't sound like calamari, Goba Ghul,
which was big on the Sopranos.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
That was the name of the boat. Yeah, the Goba goal.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's actually Italian Americans trying to say capa cola.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Ham, capa cola? Right? Is gobaul? Oh? I'm sorry? No,
the name of their boat was the ste Gotts, thet Gots.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah. But by the way, what one of my kids
is watching the Sopranos, Now, yeah, very proud, oh right,
because because a lot of stuff great television came out
when when you know, yeah, they were too young. So
the fact that she's watching such a great show, well,
I didn't want to, you know, I didn't say I

(14:50):
get no spoilers, you know.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Now, you know, I did go back to Florida, and
this time I went to the to like Palm Beach,
West Palm and del Rey, which is not Miami, not
Miami or front Lawderdale. So you went to it.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
You went to all the palms, which is important because
all you had with you was your palm because you
let you did not take Robin with you.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
So why don't you what happened? Okay? And I don't know,
I don't know if the Slices will sign with me
on this, but we're talking about now. It's after Christmas
and Robin has things to do. She the snow was
coming here in New York City, the Tri State area.
We had like a little bit of a snow ice situation, right,

(15:33):
and then Robin had to go back to work for
Monday Tuesday, and we were gonna fly down on New
Year's Eve on Wednesday morning together that day Wednesday through
the following Sunday.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, so you spend New Year's Eve together, very romantic.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Right down there at Gabriella's by the way, amazing Italian steakhouse.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Stop stop name dropping the steakout client.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I did not pay retail. You know you went.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
We all get that you went there. Okay, So yeah,
and uh yeah, sounds lovely.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
But then I'm thinking, why am I sitting here for
a week in this frozen tundra doing nothing? Remember, we
had no plans to hang out together. She had to
things she had to do, and then she was going
back to work Monday, So she had to work Monday Tuesday,
no matter what.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Right, But then you were gonna fly together on the
plane together.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
On Wednesday morning. Yeah. So what I did this morning,
what I did was I said, you.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Know what, And by the way, before you tell the story, slcense,
I'm sure without even knowing what happened exactly, Scary always
took into consideration his girlfriend's feelings, nothing like the time
he left her at TSA and ran through without her.
I'm sure this is a perfectly logical thing that he did,
and no one won't get upset that he treated his

(16:45):
girlfriend wonderfully.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Why else what you did? Why are you setting me
up for failure here? Brodie? Oh no, no, I just
can't what you're December twenty sixth and the twenty seventh.
It's Friday, Saturday, and I'm like, oh god, I'm waking
up to snow on the ground. This. I don't want
to be here Saturday morning. I have to wait till
Wednesday and more shit, weather's coming. It's gonna be the

(17:06):
coldest days of the year. Fuck this, I'm out of here.
So I told Robin, hey, Wednesday morning, I'll meet you
down there. In fact, I'm gonna go early this way,
if God forbid. We get down there in our hotel
room's not ready for New Year's Eve, and we're rushing
around at four or five o'clock waiting for checking and

(17:29):
then and then we have to go out. I'll be
already down there and I'll have the room and you
can just kind of slide down there at noon on
on on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So now you say slide down, you mean fly down alone.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, but because I had nothing. I had my whole
vacation here I've had yeah, yeah, and I'm sitting in
an ice in an ice storm, going in your house,
that ship in this what this box storm. I live
in a shoebox. I live in a shoe box, all right,
And I'm like, I gotta get out of here.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Are you the little old lady who lived in a
shoe box?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah? So I said, fuck it. I booked a trip.
I booked a flight on Sunday morning to get me
out of here. And I flew down on Sunday and
I enjoyed eighty degree and sunshine on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
and then Robin came down on Wednesday, and that's where

(18:28):
things went. Were Well, there was a little bit of
a point of contention in me leaving Sunday as opposed
to waiting Wednesday till Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
So, yeah, because you were supposed to fly together on
the plane, and not only did you leave her, you
probably had to pay a large fee to change your
ticket at the last minute.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I did not. I'm a one K member on United,
and they had flights available. Well that's a whole other thing. Oh,
that's a whole other story. Wait, no, Brody, I don't
wanted to tell people all about me, but I got
a good one with united me.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I will say that later in the show, we'll break
up your stories with the stories of mine.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
But you you're gonna be flaming mad like me.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
All right, Oh all right, so so okay, so let
me so Robin. No surprise to me was less than
thrilled that you decided to just leave while she's working
in the cold the ice box, and you're like, peace
out and then she flies down alone on the plane.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
She made me feel guilty, goes to Tsa, has to
get an uber or however, she got to the airport
by herself. I get it.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that sounds what made me.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
She made me feel guilty for leaving. But the thing is,
I don't want to tried to make you feel guilty
or you actually felt guilty. I felt she made me
feel bad, and I started feeling bad. But then I'm like,
I can't let this get the best of me, because
at the end of the day, this is my vacation days,
these are my days. This is just like Thanksgiving and

(19:57):
I want to be in the warmth. Why the fu
would I want to be up here like this. I listen,
you could have been in the warmth of your girlfriend
for a next week. No, because, as I said, as
I reiterated, she had stuff to do and she was
we were not gonna be together and she had to
work Monday and Tuesday. So what I tried to do
when I tried to do your apartment, what I tried

(20:18):
to do was tell her, I'll tell you what, why
don't we all both fly down early and then you
just pick up your laptop and I'll take some meetings.
You work remote anyway, you're gonna work from home on
the Monday and the Tuesday, which she did. Why don't
you just freaking come down and then if you have
to take a meeting of two, you step away from
the pool. But otherwise you work from a fucking lounge

(20:40):
chair and chill out and hang out and let's both
hang out all all And she didn't want to do that,
so so there was no compromise there. But why is
it okay for her to like, let me just squander
all of my days and that's not fair. But that's
not fair to me. Three weeks you had three weeks
vacation exactly vacation means vacation needs vacate this area.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
And it's such a douche. You're a douche, she was,
It wasn't so cold. You weren't living in an igloo. Dude,
you're living in an apartment. You anything cold about you.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I'm supposed to sit here. I sit here by myself, Sulky.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
The only thing, the only thing cold about your apartment
is those awful white walls in your bedroom.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I'm supposed to sit here from Saturday to Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Why didn't you see her Saturday, Sunday, Sunday.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
To Wednesday, Sunday to Wednesday by myself? But while she
has to go to work anyway, and we were not
going to be together. We don't live together.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
You're an adult. You're an adult. There's nothing you could
have done.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
I I'm telling you right now, I feel like you know,
vacation is valuable, and let's be adults about Let's let it.
Let's be adults about it. She can fly on her own,
She's she's perfectly capable. I trust every every I trust
her every and the room was ready for her on

(22:06):
Wednesday because I was already in it. So there, so,
But why is that a problem. Why you know, why
am I automatically wrong? There are two soccer.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
First of all, First of all, it's you, so that's
why you're automatically wrong. Second of all, you had plans
to spend a romantic.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Romantic two hour two hour flight down on Wednesday. It's
it's a four hour experience because it's going to the airport,
it's going through checking and TSA and doing all that together,
maybe grabbing a bite at the airport.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
It's a two and a half hour flight. Then it's
a half hour to the to the to the hotel.
It's actually like five hours.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Listen, we're both grown, independent adults. We both we have mine.
We we we we that's not the kind of relationship
we have. We're both very much independent and on our own,
and that's why we are together. That's why we work together.
That's why and and that's why we are success full
and we are still in this all these years later
because we both have the same mentality. Somewhat. But she

(23:08):
threw a curveball at me on that one made me
feel bad, but I went anyway, you know, but I listen,
I don't regret it. I had a great time. I
was loving life, laying in the fucking pool eighty one
degrees on Monday while everyone else was in twenty degree hell.
And I had a right to do that.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
And you know who is in twenty degree hell, Robin,
who had to go to the airport by herself.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
So you figured out a way. You figured out a
way he had where she was working.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
You could have stayed at her apartment and seen her
when she got home. You could have spent time with her.
You could have slept together at night, and then she
could have left for work in the morning. You decided
it had nothing to do with Robin. You going to
get out of the cold. There's gonna be a time.
How can I make leaving her tsa look worse? Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I got it. Let me say this. Let me say this.
There will be a time I'm sure where the shoe
will be on the other foot, and I will gladly
say go have fun. I have to work, so I'll
meet you there or whatever. I don't know. All right,
when do you ever have to work? You barely work? Okay,
holy shit, you're always on vacation slices. You know what

(24:17):
to do. Knock backs down, let him have it? Yeah, Okay,
let him have it. There's gotta be someone that sides
with me here. There's somebody has to understand where I'm
coming from, and not just you know what.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I am sure Jamie from Queens will take your side.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
That person, all right. I am sure that Maddie from
Brooklyn in the Bronx will take your side.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
You know what, MJ from NJ. I'm sure she will
take your side. I'm sure Reggie will take your side.
I'm sure Truck will.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Take Okay, stop stop making these predictions, all right, Okay, Yeah, they're.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Gonna will take your side. I think Truck is gonna
write a song about how you're alone again. Okay, scary
left Robin alone again going to Florida with his hot
You wait, hot? Okay, what did you do for vacation?
Give me some of your story vacation?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
You asked whole.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
I'm I'm always on vacation. I stayed home. I don't
mind the cold.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
What did you do? Would you like give me some
life experiences for the last well for twas, I got
a thousand things that we did that I did, that
I did with Robin, that we all did.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Friend, let me tell you about something that caught my attention.
On Twitter, there is a soccer player. He's a I
believe he's a goalie. His name is Alfonse A r
e O l A Alfonse. He's Italian, apparently Alfonse Ariola.
Oh boy, so I saw on Twitter that Ariola was

(25:48):
trending under sports. So I'm like, oh, why is Ariola trending?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I'm thinking maybe a female athlete had had a wardrobe malfunction.
I'm curious as to why Ariola trending and scary. Let
me tell you something. At least sixty percent of the
posts were not about the soccer player. Oh, I can't
would imagine they were. They were absolutely about Ariola. So

(26:15):
if anyone was looking up and by the way, what
a great way for guys to get away with this
with their girlfriends. Hey they walk in on you looking
at naked women. You're like, oh, I was looking up
soccer and this stuff came up. My favorite player a
fonts Areola. Oh that was one thing. Now I want
to tell you about a scamboni. Do I have time
for that here? Sure? Yeah? We got a quick scamboni.

(26:38):
They would take a break. Do you want it? You
want a little scamboni music? Yeah? Give me a little scamboni. Yep,
this is just for you. I got a bunch of me.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
So I went to dinner at an Italian restaurant with
my friend paper Menu, and the Italian restaurant had paper menu,
so it was all good.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
First off, when we sat down, he says to me,
we walk into this tablecloth Italian restaurant and all the
tables are four fourth top four chairs, all square tables,
no boots. It's a nice Italian restaurant. He says, Hey,
David Pick, where do you want to sit? So of
course I sit where in the chair facing the dining room. Okay, Now,

(27:30):
my friend paper Menu is a large, shredded, muscular, tall
Brooklyn dude. Okay, if you're gonna sit down at the
table where there's three other chairs, and I'm sitting down already,
where should he sit across? That's what I thought? He

(27:55):
sat down next to me an l formation. Oh no,
so so now like he's like six three six two.
His legs are touching my legs on the table. So
I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, paper Menu? What's going
on here? He's like, what are you talking about? I said, dude,
we're not on a date. Go sit across from me.

(28:15):
So he says, Now, wait a minute. If I sit
across from you, that's like a date. We're like looking
at each other, like in each other's eyes. I don't
want to look at I don't want to look at you.
I'm sitting next to you, so I don't got to
look at you.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I'm like, I don't want my knees touching you on
my right hand touching your left hand across others. It
makes it look like you're on a date. Well well, well, wait,
hold on a second. Set me up again. What was
the view from the fore top. You're you're facing what
back to the wall? I'm facing out the Dinald room. Okay,
so you got the view the Okay, I got it

(28:49):
because if he said, if he says he's got me
staring at the wall, then he's staring at you, your
ugly ass. So I can totally understand. It's like, I
don't I don't want Brody to be in my vision
and for the rest of the two hours, Fuck dad,
I want I want to sit adjacent to him so
I can have somewhat of the view of the rest
of the restaurant and I can focus on other things

(29:10):
other than Brody's big, ugly head. I get it. Okay,
so that's the impression. I got that.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
So but he's like, no, why would I sit across
from You're not on a date. So but I but
here's the thing. If I if I'm if I'm out
to dinner with a woman from back when I used
to date, uh or you know whatever, Uh.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I would sit across. I don't.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm trying to think. Now, I guess I've done both.
I guess I've done both. Uh with a woman at
the table sit next to me and across. But anyway,
that's not the scambony. I wanted to know where you
would have sat, and you sit across, So he.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Ultimately default position unless it's some weird configuration.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, okay, So here's the scamboni though. So we sit
down and the waiter comes over and he says, oh,
good evening, welcome to the restaurant. He says, uh, did
either of you gentlemen bring a bottle of wine?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
He said no.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
He goes, oh, this is a b yob oh, so
we go no, we forgot. I didn't think of it.
I didn't know it was a byob, and I don't
know if I would have brought a bottle of wine,
not any wine with dinner. So the guy says, oh, well,
if you want to get a bottle of wine, there's
a liquor store a few doors down there open late tonight.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
So we're like, no, well, thank you very much, but
I think we're good. So he said, okay, i'll be back.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Uh, you know, look look at the menus. I'll be
back in a few minutes. With that guy comes over
with the bread and the water and uh he's pouring
the glass water in the glasses, and he says, gentlemen,
while i'm here, do you have a bottle of wine
you need me to open? I said, uh no, no,
we're good. Tap water is fine.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
We're good.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
And he says, all right, because if you need a
bottle of wine, we're byob. There's a liquor store a
couples down the wine.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
So so I'm like, all right, well that's very helpful,
but we don't want wine. It's good, thank you very much.
So a couple of minutes go by and the manager
comes over with little plates for us, a little brishetta,
a little fried zucchini chips, which I.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Gave to paper menu because I don't need fried zucchini.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
I took a bite and I'm like, it tastes like
a shitty potato chip. So uh Anyway, the manager says,
enjoy compliments of the chef. Great, he says a gentleman. Uh, well, well,
while I'm here, do you have a bottle of wine
for us to open?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I was like, no, we don't. He goes, oh, well
it were b y O B. If you'd like a
bottle of wine, you go to the liquor store a
couple of doors down, really big on the upshell there. Huh. Well,
I appreciate that they're letting us know that we can
get a bottle of wine, but I start to think, now,
all three of them, each one knows that someone else

(31:47):
had already been to the table, right The water guy
knows that the waiter was already there because we have
the menus and the and the manager knows the butter
water guy was there because we've got butter and water.
Something else at play here.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Well, here's what I think happens, because he already knows
either the other two guys forgot, which is highly unlikely,
or he's doing it to reinforce here's my thought, and
back me up if you're a restaurant or a liquor
store that that engages in this. But my theory is
they're getting a kickback from the liquor store. Liquor store says, oh, oh,
you're buying a bottle liquor. Are you having a dinner

(32:22):
in the area. Oh, As a matter of fact, yeah,
we're at the Italian restaurant blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah, And they probably go, oh chi ching, and
a dollar probably goes to the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I would more than a dollar, but yes, yeah, yeah, whatever, Absolutely,
I'm with you. Either that or they own the liquor
the liquor store, which is what I you know, I
hadn't thought of that. Maybe like his brother Giuseppe owns
the liquor and he has an Italian restaurants. I love that.
That's the first guy. I'm like, that's very nice. After
the second guy, I'm like, wow, that's very nice. When

(32:51):
the manager says it again, I'm like, they're pushing us
to go buy liquor.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Why, what would be their reason for that? Because they wanted,
it's gotta be some kind of kickback boom. You nailed them,
so slices. If you've done this, If you work in
a liquor store and you have a relationship with a restaurant,
what is a kickback? Or if you work in a restaurant,
well you know of this, Please leave us a talk
back and confirm my suspicions.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
You know who does that is our door the doormen,
the doormen at my building. If they recommend, like if
you need a place to send your laundry out, because
a lot of people do the dry cleaning and stuff,
and the dry cleaners and the laundry people here are
they are they are animals. They are like it's like
the Hunger Games because they're all competing. So he's trying.

(33:36):
My guys at the front desk is trying to say,
why are you going with this place here? You got
to go to this one over there, And I'm like, brah,
I'm like, what's going on? Are they paying you? Are
they gonna pay you? And And the truth of the
matter is when you're when you're a concierge or a
door person, or you're in charge at a hotel or whatever,
and you make a recommendation. A lot of them are

(33:56):
in bed with those the places tell them so ands
so sent you. Now you know that they're getting a kickback.
So whether it be recommendation on a service or you know,
if you go to, uh, your tourist at a hotel, well,
remember sends you to a certain restaurant, right.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Boob dude, remember I told you that story. I'm trying
to remember where we were. I was with my family
and we took a we got off the ship. We
were on a cruise and we took a limo. Like
the guy was like, oh, I'll drive you around, I'll
show you everything. Like great, yeah, He's like, I'll take
you to a great spot for lunch. And he took
us to a basically a shitty tent on the beach.
And when we walked in, it was like, oh oh,

(34:36):
the guy with the limo brought five people of whatever
it was. It was give us kickback and they're hugging
each other.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
How you doing? Of course right? And you have to
eat there because what are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (34:50):
So hey, before we go to break I know you
guys are thinking it that the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode
where Bill Hayter scary?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Do you remember that where Larry David goes.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The concierge and uh, it's it's Bill Hayter, And he says, oh,
h can you recommend a place where I can go
get some a little snack? Right, And so he sends
him to a cafe and in the cafe is Bill
Hayter right as the store owner. And then they're like, oh,

(35:20):
where can I go to a restaurant? And he recommends
a restaurant and it's Bill Hayter as the manager of
the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
But each time he's got a.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Different name, so he's Igor the store owner, he's greg
Or the cafe concierge. He's t more like all names
at rhyme, and he's got different accents, different clothing.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
So Larry David's like, you're the same guy exactly. I
don't know what you're talking about. A scam.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
You're recommending meet all your relatives. So it was very funny.
So yeah, that's the kind of thing, but I think
it was a definite liquor liquor store scam going on.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yes, all right, we'll be right back. Sorry, I had
to blow my nose and it enjoyment, but my nose
enjoyed it, you know, of course. Yeah, so I this
kind of encapsulates in a nutshell why I got into radio,

(36:10):
and I'm sure Brody feels the same way. Or a
non traditional job. For those out there that are not
working in offices or nine to five jobs, you all
probably gravitated to what you did to get away from
this culture. We're about to play for you. You're working

(36:30):
a corporate job and you're back to work after a vacation.
Listen to this. I mean it's obviously a comedy bit.
I sent this to your TikToker.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
I just wanted to circle back on that Q three
forecast and try and land the plane BACKPI standpoint. Look, Patrick,
you want to win, win, but I'm burning the candle
at both ends here.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
Let me easily put you on a quick hold in
touch base with Darren using zoom Phoney, Patrick, they want
to pick your brain on the Q three forecast. From
a standpoint perspective on I think it's clear from a
macro standpoint, I'm gotta get granular and just hammer things out,
you know, let's chop in the water, go back and
sharpen our pencils. Hope it's not a strategy copy that.

(37:10):
So from a thirty thousand foot standpoint, Darren is thinking
we square the circle. I guess we're gonna have to
loop someone in from sales. Roger. Sales is Carl, Carl, Patrick, Greg,
Nancy and I have the dry powder. Do you have
the adequate tailwind to disrupt a space in a way
that is actionable?

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Gonna need to marinate on that. Can we put a
pin in it? It is what it is.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Let's circle the wagon's eod and see if we can't
flip that over and get the north star back in
the sky. We need to do a level set.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Is Nancy in the dark?

Speaker 4 (37:39):
If sorry, you should finger Roger that copy that Roger,
Roger that copy of my Roger.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Nancy's office saying we're.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
Getting some pushback on the circle back of our initial
push is nance available?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Let me transfer on zoomfo tell me something good. That's Patrick.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
The team wants to loop you in. From a pushback standpoint,
going forward, do you have the man went to discuss
best practices moving the needle forward as.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
If I do?

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yes, I do you play with a dog?

Speaker 4 (38:13):
She's not even from an unpacking standpoint, we may not
have enough boots on the ground.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
So let's peel back.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
The onion on this.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
An elephant in the room is this paradigm shift, which
is just basically mission critic Greg just wanted to circle
anyway that you've heard. Anyway, The point is that is
so fucking cringe. I never, ever, ever, ever, ever want
to be in a situation like that, and and that's
how I make my money, and I just brody. I'm
sure you feel the same way. But that is corporate speak.

(38:39):
Said that all those phrases jumbled together. If you didn't
know what that was, was just that's the way people
talk to each other in America, in these corporate environments. Yeah,
but dude, there were corporate people at the radio company
we work for that spoke like that. Yes, exactly. We
we interface with them occasionally. They're called people. Ah. Interface,

(39:00):
you just said it. Can we put a pin in
that one. We're gonna leave it right there. We'll we interface. Dude,
you talk to them, What do you mean interface that
you're guilty of it? I get it. I get into
the world, But god, why can't we speak the normal
in the workplace? Are people just too afraid. Is it
because everyone's afraid that they're gonna call hr Imagine, imagine

(39:23):
sound intelligent, but imagine we got business done talking like
the Brookelyn Boys.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
But we did when we worked in the radio together.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
No, but like imagine, like in the corporate world, they
got they got ship done just by just being everyday people,
just being cool with each other. I don't know, right,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
It's just it's just the culture. Like you, when you
get in it, you start talking like them because you
have to.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, bad, bad, bad bad. By the way, Uh, you
don't happen to have a cough right now? Do you?
Are you coughing? Are you sick or anything like that? No,
I'm good because I found a remedy. Uh. TikTok taught
me that if you want okay, Jason, if you want
to the remedy good, that's a good one. Oh my god,

(40:12):
that's so Where the fund was that song? I haven't
heard that in the years. Uh. If you want to, uh,
if you want an actual cough suppressant, eat a couple
of marshmallows. Apparently marshmallows are a perfect way to cure
your cough. Now, But No, that's not medicine. I'm just
saying there's there's what's in it? Glycerin, a gelatine. They

(40:36):
got gelatine and sugar. It'll quell the tickle in your throat. Apparently,
they say on TikTok, if you eat marshmallows, you okay bush,
glistening glitcerin that glisserine. When would I ever think that

(41:00):
you would call that song out? Who would have ever
used the word glycerin to begin with? I never okay Bush.
But anyway, I teased you. I teased you on uh
Slice Time that I had dinner next to Rock Royalty.
Oh yes, yes, okay set up the tease for people

(41:22):
who didn't hear it on Slice Time.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
So reset the story.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I was with my dad and a restaurant in Red Hook,
Brooklyn called Lundy's. Now Lundy's has a bigger story Back
in the day, for like hundreds of years ago. They
were in sheep Said Bay, Brooklyn, and it was a
huge like seafood house and they would have they would
they would see like a thousand people at a time.

(41:45):
It was there from like the early nineteen hundreds. It
was there for several years. Then they closed and then
they reopened again, tried to do Lundy's two point zero.
It failed. It's just too big of a space. So
years later they opened up up here in RedHook, Brooklyn,
and I said, Dad, we're going to Lundy's tonight. Now
this was this was now a Sunday night after New

(42:07):
Year's Eve. There was no one in the restaurant. No one's,
no one's eating Sunday after New Year's going out to
each New Year's Eve. Aren't you down in Florida Sunday
after New Year's It's that it's like the first Sunday
of the after New Year's Sunday night, it's like seven
o'clock at night. There was a family sitting next to us,
a few seats down, and then to our left. Wait,

(42:31):
did you say it's seven o'clock? Seven o'clock at night?

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Okay, okay, choir boys, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
All right, playing this game. Uh So I'm sitting there
like this guy. This guy looks familiar. I know, I
don't know who he is. But he had like, I mean,
he was like he looked old and and like weathered,
like literally weathered. But he had black, long, black curly hair,

(42:58):
almost like a howard stern of sorts, big nose, and
I'm like, he's got these like right, he's got these tattoos.
He's got I don't know if it was tattooed. He's
got rock like skull and crossbone like like bracelets and stuff.
And he's sitting with three other people. But this guy
clearly stood out, but he was he was black and

(43:20):
he was this guy was like a fossil and I
and I'm saying, it's got to be somebody famous. I
don't know who the fuck that is, though it looks
familiar whatever. So anyway, finish my dinner and then they leave,
and then I get up about maybe ten minutes later,
and the chef comes out from the back. Who actually
I had our friend, Elliott is best friends with the

(43:43):
friend of the chef owner, and he came out from
the back. He goes hey, scary, He say, hey, what's up?
He is? What'd you think of the food this and that?
I say, oh, ten out of ten, will definitely be back.
The food is so frigging good. It's a steakhouse and
seafood bro to you would love it personally anyway. That
could be a place for the steak dinner maybe that's
where I give you steak dinner.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Anyway, Oh, he goes, Hey, did you see and give
me a clue, Give me a clue, give me something
black hair.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Was the heavy set really all thin, old old, like
older than Steven Tyler? Yeah? Maybe, yeah, maybe in that
rage so anyway, but this reason yes, oh yeah, oh yeah,
local local.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Anyway, Okay, it was.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
I don't know if I wanted to, I'm not gonna anyway,
it was, and it was this guy was part of
a band, and uh, he wasn't the most popular one
of the band. The other the other two members of
the band are dead. And maybe they're all brothers. It

(44:57):
was dead. Oh no, I'm not gonna figure out it. No,
don't tell me. I don't know this. Some of the
slices are yelling it out.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
He's three brothers.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Two of them are dead. I mean they they they
are responsible for they are responsible, responsible for the probably
and credited with the creation of an entire genre of music.
And so it would to talk to this guy and
to have taken a picture with him. Opportunity missed because

(45:28):
he was already out the door. When when they told
me who he was. Two were dead who created a
genre of music literally responsible for the sound of a
genre of music from so from the sixties, from the seventies,
and so three Brothers, three Dog Night. No, maybe they

(45:49):
were related. Maybe there one was cousins, two of them
were brothers, and maybe the all three were don't don't
quote me on, but they were family. They all have
the same last name. Anyway, So I was like, fuck,
I missed him. I can't believe it, and he goes, Dude,
he goes, had I known you were a fan, I
would have introduced you. He's in here all the time.
He always comes to Lundy's. He's always in Lundie's. And

(46:13):
he still plays gigs with other obviously with other singers.
He's not the singer. So I'm sitting there and I'm like, fuck,
I'm like, that is rock royalty, man. I would love
to have like shook his hand and thank him for
creating the genre. Bto you're way overthinking it. If you're

(46:35):
if you're going that deep, then you've already missed it.
It's it's it's a surface level. But anyway, I'm just
gonna tell you, I don't want to play games here.
The slices are over it. I can't it's uh, it was.
It was Marky Ramone from the Remotes, the Last Minute
Ramote creating a punk music punk music royalty. He was

(46:55):
right in front of me. I'm like, fuck, he was
the guy. He plays the drums anyway, you know the
remotes if you don't know Slices, anyway, they created the
whole sound of that. You know them the sex Pistols.
But anyway, that being said, he eats loved all the time.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Can I just tell you something, yeah, real quick, Yeah,
that none of them are really named Ramone. None of
them are related by blood. Well, they're just a band,
all right. Yeah, because they dyed their hair black. They're
not Relate's why I couldn't figure it out. They're not
actually brothers. They weren't brothers.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Because they they all had a name Ramone. Yes, I
wasn't alive in that. That was your childhood. That was
your child before you grew up on Nicky. You grew
up with the Remotes.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
By the way, the Ramones are not older than Steven Tyler.
They're right around the same seventies era looked, and well
Steven Tyler doesn't look so young anymore either. But anyway,
but no, anyway, so the remote the one I couldn't
figure who it was.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
But isn't that cool? You would have went to go
talk to him? Right? Which Maramone? Was it? MARKI Ramone? Yeah?
The only one that's living anyway, whatever, which one? Which one?
Did he tell you? It was the only one? Marky?
His name is Marky. He does still does gigs. Anyway.
I would love to say hello to him, take a picture.

(48:15):
But that being said, that was my brush with greatness.
Did you beat anybody over vacation? Did you run into
any celebrities other than me? Yeah, yeah, you are.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
I'll tell you. I sort of kind of got recognized.
I was at pickleball talking to a couple of people.
I was like, oh, you weren't here last week. No,
we were on a great cruise. Oh where'd you go? Caribbean?

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Oh wonderful. What cruise line did you go on? Like
anyone would ask that, like, oh, Norwegian? I said, Oh,
I'm a big fan of Norwegian. What ship were you on?
He's oh, we were on the Prima. I said, oh,
as a matter of fact, I was on the first
ever cruise by the Prima. We went from Iceland to Europe.
He's like, oh, my god, you're on the first cruise.
I go, yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
He's like, oh, I love the Norwegian Cruise line. I've
been on Prima, I was on Bliss. I said, oh,
I was on the first cruise ever of Bliss. In fact,
I'm a godparent. What No, that's because that's Elvis Durant,
He's a godparent of Bliss. I go, huh, really, he says, yeah,
they talk about Norwegian Cruise all the time on the show.
I said, huh. I said, well, I worked on the

(49:19):
show for twenty four years.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
He is what David, Oh my god, I never put
and two together. Holy shit. He knew my name. He's
known me for almost a year now. But in talking
about the cruise ships, which I wasn't trying to say
I was in radio. I was just saying, oh, I
was on the first cruise. I was, you know, just
making conversation like I love that ship. I love Bliss.

(49:44):
It's one of my you know, favorite ships. And I said,
but I didn't think he'd know. I wasn't gonna mention
in the morning show. He's like, oh, wait a minute,
the first cruise that was Elvis. They christened the ship.
I said, yeah, I know, I was there when they
gristened the ship. They're like, what, so, yeah, so it
turns out he knew who he was, but he didn't
know who I was. So it's not like being stopped
on the street like you did. You got stopped in

(50:05):
the street. Uh. But but anyway, Yeah, all right, we'll
we'll right right back. We're right back, and let's keep rolling.
I think I think we should keep rolling. I got
more stuff. Okay, fantastic the Boys podcast. We will be
right back. Scary.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
I'm on Facebook and why I belong.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Well, I have you know, my family and friends are
on Facebook, so when I interact with my family, that's
where we interact. When I you know, interact with slices,
I interact with them on Instagram and uh you know,
TikTok wherever, but mostly Instagram. I just feel like I've
I've abandoned Facebook. Facebook is such a toxic place for me.
A lot of the stuff I've seen there over the

(50:47):
years for me personally, has been like people getting into fights,
all the drama, I mean, all the neighborhood and community crap,
and I'm like, you know what, f all, y'all, I
don't want that.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Just hold on hold on, yeah, yeah, hold on, hold on.
You don't have a neighborhood. You live in an apartment building.
You don't talk to your neighbors. So what neighborhood are
you talking about.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
I'm just talking about the neighborhood. The gang mentality, the
comments section in in a in a Facebook post always
turns racist somehow, everything turns into like a like growing
up on the streets of Brooklyn. You remember, you know
how we used to do and we used to fight,
and we used to say the most asenine shit like yeah,
this is the stuff that goes on on Facebook. And

(51:29):
then all the that the the wash line, the clothes line,
you know, like the people that stick their head out
the window and saying you ain't heard it from me,
you know, like kind of thing that that gossip that
would go you know what I'm saying that that remember
the old Well.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
I've talked about this on the podcast. If you go
into certain neighborhoods, but particularly like where we grew up, Yeah,
people are not happy with the fact that it's not
the same neighborhood. Yes, now, like listen, the majority of
neighborhoods around the world aren't the same that are forty
years ago. Right, people move, they they people change. It's

(52:04):
sometimes it's for the better.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
But that ideology is an entire mood on Facebook for
whatever you're that's like the canvas that you're painting on.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
I tell you that, I'll tell you the problem with
with with with TikTok and versus Facebook. On TikTok, it
feeds me things that are exactly David Brody, Right.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
It gives me the video.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
It knows you, it knows you, it knows what's gonna
make me happy, what I'm going to agree with. Yes, uh, politically, sports, hobbies, restaurants,
doesn't mine.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
By the way, my my my TikTok algorithm knows me
really well.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Yeah, but here's the problem. Uh, Instagram knows my algorithm terrific.
Facebook knows my inverted algorithm. Facebook feeds me the ship
that's gonna make me angry.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Right, That's why I'm surprised that you're about to do
a Facebook story here, because again that's why that's why
I've abandoned it, because I don't need the I don't
need the society.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
I find content for the podcast Facebook, all right, right,
But but like I'll go on Facebook and I'll see
all my cousin did this and my friend did that,
and I'm like, that's nice. And then I get like
a group I'm not part of. That's the thing I
don't like about Facebook. They'd be like, oh, such and
such group, a newsgroup, a political group that I'm not
a member of, puts a post in front of me

(53:23):
that's guaranteed to get me to look at look at
the comments and fight with somebody.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
So what I do is I I now what's funny
about Facebook. Not funny is you can close, like, let's say,
as a group called a Tomato News, right, and Tomato
news is not the kind of news I want to see, right,
not my point of view, not what I believe is
actual news, Tomato news. So you'll go to like click
the three dots or the X. They'll say, do you

(53:50):
want to snooze Tomato News. You're like, I want the
option to never see Tomato news again. But doesn't give
you that option. You can snooze it, right, and you go,
do you want to unfollow some groups? You go un
follows the groups. Then it shows you every group you're following,
but it doesn't show you Tomato news.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
So you can snooze it for thirty days and then
by twenty eight days, I'm sweating because I know Tomato
news is gonna pop up on my feet again. So yeah,
the Facebook algorithm is designed to piss people off, right,
I agree? So again, my family, my high school friends, right,
they're all there, close, the close knit crew, right right.
I wish people happy birthday. I say something funny, They're like, ah,

(54:28):
it's funny day, and you're funny.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
But that's it.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
But as far as the algorithm, boy, that's dangerous. Shit
that being said, I'm in a couple of Brooklyn groups.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Right right. They also get nasty in there, very nasty.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Well, because Brooklyn is not ninety five percent Italian anymore.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Everybody's upset. Everybody said if anyone says the like, remember
we used to hang out. Remember you can't hang out
anymore because of these people and those people, right, yeah,
you can't reminisce. If you reminisce about the good old days,
someone has to jump in and tell you why that's
not great. I want to be able to wax nostalgic
in peace and not have anybody say, you know, you know,

(55:07):
say boo about what I will you know what I
want to say, But anyway, continue.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
Okay. So there's a group called it's a Brooklyn group.
I don't want to, you know, single it out. But
this person posted a receipt for dinner and it says
I went out with two friends. I only ordered a
caesar salad, nothing to drink, caesar salad. But they're asking
me to split the check three ways. That sounds really

(55:33):
I'm at the dinner table, now what should I say?
I'm looking at the receipt. The caesar salad is fourteen fifty.
Somebody had a baked potato for nine to fifty, so
the potato was almost as much as the caesar salad.
One of the other two people had cream spinach that
was eleven dollars. Again, the poster had caesar salad fourteen fifty. Okay, yep,

(55:57):
I'm with you. Now this is the part of own
this hand. She says he went out with He says
he went out with two friends. But on the menu
it says two filet mignon ninety eight dollars, so forty
eight dollars forty forty nine dollars each, and a by
and a rib buy for fifty two. So there must
have been three other people, right, Okay, I get that right, okay.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
And this person only had a caesar salad, no drink,
no sides, no sides know them to drink, and they
put a seventy five dollars tip down.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
The bill came out to two seventy seven oh two.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
So here's what we would do in our group. Yeah,
the person who had the caesar salad, don't worry about it.
It's on us. We'll we'll, we'll, we'll absorb that cost.
You don't pay shit, and we'll split it by the
people who spent a lot of money here tonight. That's
what we would do. That's the fair thing to do. That.
Don't even give me your freaking fifteen dollars or twenty dollars.

(56:53):
Don't even it's insulting. Just we would That's what my
group and I would all agree on in a heartbeat.
There wouldn't even be it wouldn't even be a question.
Nobody would even argue that.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Okay, I would ask for the money for the sound.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Of course you would, because you're David Brody. Okay. But
here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Not only did they all order fifty dollars meals and
ten dollars sides. They gave a forty percent tip and
then said, let's split it four ways.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Even all right, I'm a big tip. I love, I'm
a fan of a big tip, a big tip, forty percent.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Tip forty percent. But you can't ask to seeson salad
person to chip in.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
No, no, no, no, no. Once again, they're out there,
they've already been out. They're eliminated.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
They were seventy five dollar tip split four ways is
like nineteen dollars. Roughly, you're gonna give a nineteen dollar
tip on a fourteen dollars season salad?

Speaker 2 (57:52):
No, no shot, No.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Well, I'm looking at the comments and some of them
are like, suck it up, you went out to dinner,
your share.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
No, See, these are the abrasive facebookers. This is what happens. Well,
I expect, I expect nothing less from a Facebook post,
but it's not their money. So to time, it's like, eh,
fuck it, just pay it and shut up? Yeah why
should you? Why should you pay? Uh?

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Seventy dollars is what it comes out to for a
fourteen dollars salad not happening, not happening slices? Would any
of you honestly pay seventy dollars because you're like, oh,
I'm out to dinner. Yeah, no, leave us his talk back. Hey,
I would go and order a stake to go right

(58:39):
at that point, you know.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
I meant to hit you up earlier. We were talking
earlier in the podcast about paper menu who sat adjacent
to you like an L formation?

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Yes, yeah, you've been thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Well, no, does this also fall in that world of
category of like, guys don't guys shouldn't do this? This morning,
I had a little little itch on my back and
it's the part of my back where I can't reach.
It's like there's a part right there in the middle
of all of it, all of it, but right in
the middle there. So I turned to Nate off the air.

(59:14):
I said straight Nate, yo, could you could you scratch
my right back right there in the middle? And he's
like what why would I do that? And like he
did it like kind of like half asked, like he
didn't want to touch me. But I'm like, what bros
can't scratch bros backs? Why not?

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Now, what were you wearing? Were you wearing a thick
shirt or a thin shirt?

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Does it matter? Yeah? Really? Yeah, no, it doesn't this cloth?

Speaker 1 (59:44):
This cloth between if you wear if you're wearing a
thick hoodie, then it's like you're like a mi all away.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
But if you're wearing like a thin T shirt, cloth
is cloth. It's not like I'm asking him to put
some block on my back. I mean that's skin on skin.
I mean so and can got Can two guys do
that put some block on each other on each other's back?
I mean, I mean two guys can if they're living together.

(01:00:12):
I mean, I you know, I don't judge whatever you
whatever you do in the privacy your wrong home. Okay,
what is what you do? All right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
But you know, I mean you know what the Nate
had an itch, he would ask you to do it.
You would absolutely do it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Yea. But why wouldn't you go up to the corner
of a wall and scratch, scratch, use the corner. I
could have done that. I could have, but I didn't
do it anyway. So did you make this a bit
on the morning show? No? We did not. We didn't
talk about it. All right, that's weird. We we should have.

(01:00:43):
Let's take a break. I'm sorry the Brooklyn Boys Podcast.
We will be right back, all right. You got me
thinking scary, if I had an itch, would you scratch
my back? Uh? Yeah, yeah, I would do it. Yeah,
I would have no problem doing it. Why why you

(01:01:05):
try to you know, you're trying to have a gotcha
moment there? Then then what about I would have said no?
Then then what would you say?

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Well that I'd be like, why are you scratching Nate's back?

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
In that mind? Exactly? That's why. That's why I got
to say yes across the board doesn't bother.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Me, because then I then I think that just then
it's then it's attraction thing. Whatever, bro, you you could
have done, you could have gotten. You could have gotten
that girl that was all up on Nate. Maybe she
would have scratched your back with her butt.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
You know what could have would have shut her?

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
So you I mean you were down in Florida, Robin, right,
So oh.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Yeah ha ha. The morning that I left to go
to Florida without Robin, I got it was on United
Airlines and there I was standing waiting to board the flight.
It was me and my backpack and my carry on. Okay,

(01:02:01):
and they're about to open the doors and say all right,
pre morning is about to start. And just as they
do that, they come on the loudspeaker to say, this
flight is over sold. We're looking for some volunteers to
get off this flight right now and take either a
later flight or a flight for tomorrow or whatever to

(01:02:22):
make room on this flight. And how much had they
given you? One? Five hundred dollars in travel certificates?

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Now, wait a minute, are you on the flight alone
with Robin?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
I'm alone because I remember I went alone. This was on
Sunday morning. Now I'm like, huh, fifteen hundred dollars is
a lot of money. And you know that the flights
from Newark leave pretty much on the hour to go
to Fort Lauderdale or PBI Palm Beach International, And I

(01:02:53):
was going to Delray Beach. So Delray Beach is Palm Beach.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Yeah, I understand that, But where's the Miami Airport?

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
That's MIA. That's a third airport, not part of that.
Wait a minute, the whole airport's missing. If you're going
to the South Florida area, you basically have three choices
the same movie. Am I a FLL Fort Lauderdale or PBI?
Now I was going My destination was Delray Beach, which
is halfway between Fort Lauderdale and PBI for the most part.

(01:03:24):
So I'm like, I'll volunteer. I went right up to
the counter and I said, sign me up. You want
you want to get me you know, I'll take a
different flight. So start looking at the computer and I said,
I'll do you one better. I said, if you find
a flight to PBI I'll take, I'll go to a
different airport. And she said to me, oh, that's funny.

(01:03:46):
There's a there's a flight to PBI leaving in two hours,
a two hour. It was going to be from nine
o'clock to eleven fifteen. I had to wait two hours
and fifteen minutes, and I had to change terminals from
C to A. I said, perfect, I don't have Jews.
Did you check bags? No? And this is why you
don't check bags, because you can always be on the
go and get the fuck out of there if you

(01:04:07):
need to. So I had no baggage, literally no baggage.
I mean I had what I was rolling. I rolled
my bag and my carry on. I didn't have to wait.
I didn't have to The shit wasn't on the plane.
So because if once it goes on the plane, you're done.
You can't make the decision to move flights, but you
can be very carefree and spontaneous when you don't check bags.

(01:04:27):
That's why I never do. So I said, great, I'm
a solo traveler and I got and I don't have
bags check. Let's go. So she's like, all right, great, PBI.
She puts me out an old school paper receipt, you know,
one of those paper things, not a paper menu. She go,
all right, we are good news. You're in first class.

(01:04:50):
We got you a seat in business There was a
seat available there. That's all there was. Oh okay, great,
thank you so much. Hey, how do I get my
fifteen hundred dollars in travel vouchers? Oh, I'm sorry, sir,
you don't qualify for that. What you heard me? They said,
Oh no, they said you are ineligible for the fifteen

(01:05:13):
hundred dollars travel voucher because we've upgraded you on the
new flight to PBI. So therefore, you had an economy
seat here for going to Fort Lauderdale. We gave you
a free business class ticket. One hand washes the other.
It's like kind of like a wash in their and
in their mind, it's negated. See you later. You're good,

(01:05:37):
and I'm like, no, we're not good, and they're like, well,
you got to call customer service because we made the
switch for you. You're off this flight, you're on your new flight,
and you are you are not eligible anymore for the
fifteen hundred dollars. Brody. They pulled a fucking bait and
switch with me right there at the airport. The announcement
was loud and clear as day, fifteen hundred dollars to

(01:05:59):
come off flight and take a new flight. I obliged.
Are you screaming at this point? No, I'm not. I'm
not causing I'm not causing issues because you know me,
that's not how I deal with my issue, my problems.
I don't yell and scream. So I said, WHOA, I
said customer service, and I said, you know what, Customer
Care is going to take care of me. So I

(01:06:22):
now am traveling to a different terminal. Took me about
a half hour to get to the terminal on a
shuttle and I had to wait two hours, and then,
by the way, that flight was delayed another hour. So boom,
I'm now three hours late.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
I don't understand something. You got a seat upgrade, but
they didn't give you a fifteen hundreds. Did not give
you the fifteen hundred dollars. But you didn't ask for
the seat upgrade, did you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
No, I said, put me on this flight to PBI,
and they said, we have room. We only have a
first class ticket. Now, in my mind, they were in
a hole. They they fucked up, they overbooked the flight.
I'm trying to help them dig out of a hole.
They took my seat to give to somebody to alleviate

(01:07:04):
their own issues after promising me the fifteen hundred dollars,
and then they do the bait and switch and they say, oh, sorry,
you don't get the fifteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Oh no, that's some bullshit. I would be causing a scene.
That's ridiculous. You did You didn't get off the flight
for an upgrade in your seat. If you wanted the upgrade,
you would have paid for the upgrade, so I wrote,
I wrote to customer Care. They got Marianna in customer Care.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
Marianna is writing back to me, and I wrote, I
stated my issue. I said, look, I helped you guys out.
I did you a favor by coming off this flight,
just because that's the only place you're gonna put me
doesn't mean I don't get my money back. She's, well, sorry,
it's a you know, it's a different service, and you
got a meal and this and that, and this's giving

(01:07:54):
me every bullshit excuse under the sun. So I said no,
and I'm thinking of my mind wwbd, what would Brody do?

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Well, I'll tell you right now, they're gonna owe me
fifteen hundred dollars in vouchers, and then however long it
takes me to get that fifteen hundred, they're gonna owe
me for time wasted. Did you have to deal with
this on your vacation? Yes, so that that's wasted vacation time.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Brody two weeks later, and seven correspond seven correspondences back
and forth. O, because they don't answer on weekends. They're
always picking up a money.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Oh, but you're on your vacation. You have to answer
the email them. So Brody back and forth. Brody back
and forth, arguing my point.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
And finally, finally when I said the following words, because
I called United and I said, what do I do?
I have this person working on my case, and apparently
once there's a case I d opened, they can't touch it.
They said, you know what you do, you tell them
the following. There are errors in your thought in what

(01:09:03):
you wrote. I need you to escalate this to the
team lead right now and have them call me at
this number. So I wrote exactly what the lady told
me on the phone to say. In the email. They
wrote back to me, whoa hold on a second, Let's
let me see what we can do here. She didn't
want to forward it to somebody higher than her. I

(01:09:26):
kept trying to call her out in her bullshit and
tell her that there's no fucking way that she can
There's no there's no way that this is possible. I've
never seen this in my life. I've never been told
something and then being the rip the rug ripped out
from under me like that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
So this is bullsh this is this is bullshit.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
So do you need me to call them?

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
I almost did, but I wrote back and I said, look,
I said, I'm going to get a team lead on
the phone. Come hell or high water, I said, I said,
you you need you need to contact what went on
in Newark that day? So she went back, She retraced
her steps. She spoke to the people at Newark. She said,

(01:10:10):
oh yeah, confirmed fifteen hundred dollars, and then found out
from someone else it does not matter if they give
you an upgraded seat or not. Her supervisor told her
that a seat is a seat advantage me. If they
give me a first class seat, I'm still entitled to
the fifteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Oh you're damn right, so Brodie right, very good.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
I got back. I got fifteen hundred dollars. I got
that voucher in the end.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Okay, but what are they going to give you for
all the time you wasted while you were on vacation
dealing with this? Where's the aggravation free dessert?

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
That's it. I was done. I got my fifteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
No, no, you should have gotten your fifteen hundred dollars
before you ever get off the plane like that day,
Get off the plane, get fifteen hundred dollars voucher?

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
How many emails in voodoos? How much more am I
gonna go? I can't slice this. Have I taught this
man nothing? They're already given me. They fought, they fucked you,
they fucked you, But they already gave me fifteen hundred
dollars that I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
Have and they gave you aggravation you didn't need. You
wasted vacation time, you were on the phone by the
pool or in your room or whatever. That's some shit
right there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
The problem is I wrapped it up into a boat.
Once she gave me the fifteen hundred. Once she gave
me the fifteen hundred, I said, you know what our
business is done here. You've right, You've made the ship right.
I'm good. So I as soon as I said that,
I closed the window on this, I can't reopen it
and say that I'm pissed again. I say, oh, by
the way, now that I think about it as an afterthought,

(01:11:46):
you would be more than undred dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
If you're going to WWBD or DBD, then you got
to be thinking the whole time, how would Brody handle this?
You got your fifteen hundred backershit been like, and what about.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
What I was going to ref That was not a refund,
that was a gift to get off the flight. I
got the fifteen hundred dollars? How much more were they
gonna give me?

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
They gotta give you something for the aggravation and the
line in the bullshit, So you want two grand? You
want another five hundred. Do you think that you I'll
be happy with that. Yeah, that'll work.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
So an extra five hundred for the aggravation is what
I should have gone for.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Two thousand dollars in flight credit is what I show
you are you?

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Are you a member of the VIP club? Of course,
I am right, You're a VIP you fly all the time.
The audacity for them to treat you like this is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Ridiculous, all right, ridiculous, Okay, I don't know. I was
just I thought it was a big victory and I
was taking a victory lap when I got the victory.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
Off.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
You got off the plane.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
They gave you what they promised you, and then they
aggravated you and lied to you. Did you have Marianna
Paul Newark Airport to vouch?

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Yes? Right, And what happened? Mariatta came back with they
they contend that the story that you told was true
and that you were ineligible. So by so she said,
but my manager told me that the people at Newark

(01:13:18):
Airport were wrong and they should have given you the
fifteen hundred dollars. So, because it doesn't matter if they
upgrade your service. The fact is you cleared a seat
off that flight for them, Like I told her at
the beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Right, all a saggravation. And now you know what, I
want one hundred bucks for having to put up with
his story because I'm getting all upset.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
Call them up.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Tell me what six hundred now because your friend on
your podcast is all upset to.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Listen slices, you know what I'm saying. Slices. Do you
think Scary got taken advantage of because I think he did.
I still have I have fifteen hundred dollars that I
didn't have in my bank, so that is not money.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Getting off the flight. You got definitely getting off the fly.
What did you get for all the phone calls and
emails and and and and and Robin being upset on
occasion because you were fat? You are you were taking
care of this when you should have been relaxing. Huh
tell me that. Riddle me that, batman.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
See, this is what you give a finger and you
take the whole arm. I don't know. I felt like
they were giving me free dessert for getting off the flight.
So if they ruined my dessert that was free to
begin with, do I get free dessert on top of
the free dessert, because that's really what happened here. The
fifteen dollars that I got was the free dessert. Here's

(01:14:38):
some free dessert. You're gonna get off this flight and
you're gonna take a later flighty. That's your no.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
No, that's your dessert. Yeah, that's the ins thing and
got no.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Free dessert is when you don't do a thing and
you get dessert. Well, when you get screwed and get dessert,
you paid for dessert by getting off the flight that
you paid for the dessert, Like, oh, I'll do that, Okay,
So was the deal? We'll give you fifteen hundred dollars
if you get off the flight, allow us to lie

(01:15:10):
to you and then make you fight for two weeks
to get your money.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
Was that the deal? No?

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Okay, fuck them? Fuck them? I move on, take a break.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
I'm upset.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Commercials left. You want to play more commerce? I don't
want to subject the slices to more commercials unnecessarily. Did
you have.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
Something to that? Did you have something to talk about?
We'll talk about aiay if you're on Instagram, everything's AI right.
We talked about how this AI sexy women and people
think they're real.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Yes, now, now the new new thing it is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
It's bad timing because of what happened in the news,
but it's it's it's it's ai videos of people yelling
at let's just call them, go them in enforcement agents
that are showing up in a lot of big cities. Okay,
nothing to do with what happened this week in the news,
but it's it's like there's one guy, there's a priest

(01:16:11):
yelling at them, saying, get out of my church. You
don't belong here. There's one guy. Or it's real, it's
it's well, it's pretty it's pretty good. Okay, So there's
a there's one guy who's a black guy in Harlem
and he owns a vets.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
Brody, you're cutting out. I lost your Brody. I should
screenshot the picture of Brody. This is hilarious. I'm gonna
take a picture right now and I'm gonna use it
for blackmail. So Brody is frozen on my on my
zoom screen right now. It's just hysterical. This has got
to make an appearance somehow when nobody's expecting it. I

(01:16:47):
love this. Oh there you are, there, you are brody,
there's a testical difficulties. Oh my back, now, yeah, you're back.
Who are you saying? Now?

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Okay, sorry my WiFi went out for a second. What
I was saying was, anyway, all these people like I'm
supporting this guy and he his restaurant and on the
door because he's standing outside his restaurant yelling at these
government agents right right, and on the door it says
soul food, but then under it and above it is

(01:17:16):
gibberish words because it's.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
A I right. Yeah, yeah, but it's like five thousand
comments about everybody going, yeah, you're the man, You're my hero.
I'm coming to your wrest your most picks. A lot
of times people don't realize they're watching an AI video
when they when they see one.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Right, and so so if you look at the name
of the soul Food place and you google it, there's
no such place, but there's links to this video because
that's the only place that exists in this video. Right,
So you gotta start checking your damn videos to make
sure they're not AI before you get all up.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Oh, this is a public service announcement, that's what this was. Okay,
service announcement to stop getting all heated and either either
heated excited and agreeing or heated against.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
It because it's all fake. It's all fake anyway. The
other thing is there's there's like catch phrases now people
you know, like people have like uh phrases that were
like popular, Like right now, the biggest popular thing with
AI is someone will go, oh, that's the first good

(01:18:22):
use of AI I've seen on the internet. That everybody
says that now every video that's the first good use
of A I've seen.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
We get it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
It's cliche at this point right now. The other thing is, oh,
like it's an obvious AI thing, Like let's say it's
it's slamming a political figure or a sports team, and
it's like it's obviously AI, but it's believable. So people go, now,
show me the show me the AI version. Ah Ah,
we get it, we get it, insinuating this is real, right,

(01:18:52):
But when a thousand people say it make the same joke,
it's like the joke's old. The joke's old already right now.
Or like they'll they'll do like you know, with the
button with the arrow with the arrow going across, yeah,
and it'll be like, show me the AI version button.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Yeah exactly. All right, So anyway, you're not gonna correct
the Internet. You're not gonna fix No, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Not gonna I can only I can only try to
help the people out there, starting with my slices when
I was slicing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
But our slices are smart. They don't need this, this
advice or this help because they're smart people. Right. These
aren't the people in the comment section I would hope
you know, no, not of slice, not trolling. No, they
would never do that. All right, this has been a
fun episode. I'm gonna go blow my nose again again.
Is that the only thing you can reach you? Yeah? Yeah,

(01:19:42):
right now, boys,
