Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Start up Up, Start Up, Brooklyn Boy, Start Up, Brooklyn Boy,
start up Up. They making noise up, start up.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Up? Well, yes, oh, I'm sorry. That was a different podcast.
That was the intro to the off air podcast with
me and Greg T. Remember remember the Jersey Kid Greg T.
It used to start out as why he's a screamed
well yes at the beginning of the off air show,

(00:36):
but that was yes, So what were you doing? I
just figured I would mimic that, you know, you know
what had been funny. Yeah, when when your co host
Share on your other podcast told you she was having
a baby, had you said well, yes, well yeah, it
would have been much better than you yelling no. Welcome
to Brooklyn Boys, episode number three, seventy five. That was

(00:58):
an non traditional underditional start. But that's okay, anti traditional, Yeah,
most sensational, inspirational, motivational. This is what we call them,
what we call the Muppet shows. That was like my
favorite show growing up. I love the Muppets Classic. It

(01:20):
was a classic. Speaking of favorite shows, the Brooklyn Boys podcast.
Thank you very much everyone for listening. New listener, Hi welcome, Hi,
welcome aboard. So we have two podcasts a week. If
you're new to the Brooklyn Boys podcast, we do the
Brooklyn Boys and then we do slice Time. Now, if
you go on the iHeartRadio app or whatever app you're
in and you look for the Brooklyn Boys, you will

(01:40):
see a Brooklyn Boys episode and then a slice Time episode,
which we'll explain in a minute, a Brooklyn Boys episode
slice Time episode. However, if you're only seeing us in
the Elvis Strand podcast folder, you're only seeing currently the
Brooklyn Boys episode. That's right. The other episode is talkbacks voicemails.
Basically that all that are that are listeners. The slices

(02:01):
leave to comment on debatable things we talk about on
the morning show, and they also bring their own version
of humor to the talkback. So if you don't know
about it, because I'm looking at the numbers and our
new numbers are massive for the moring for the Brooklyn
Boys podcast, yep, and our numbers for slice Time have
not changed, so which is until we end up putting

(02:22):
that in the folder. Check out the slice Time episode
following this episode. Look at the search for Brooklyn Boys
and look at our streams. Yes, and you'll see the
Slicetime episode in a couple of days after this one
goes live, usually by Monday night Tuesday of the following week,
you'll see slape i concur i concur i. You know,

(02:42):
I think that so many of our listeners have been
with us for so many years now. That is just
it's kind of like we're all family, right, That's how
I feel like we've do. You know, people feel like,
you know, you know, we should meet up and do something.
I think we may hopefully. I don't want to keep
teasing it and then not pleasing. Let's not let's not much.
We did one, we'll we're gonna try and do another one.

(03:04):
People have been asking, but yeah, no, get get part
of the become part of the culture. And while you're
at it, check out our merch store. You know, we
do have a merch store where we're selling things. It's
high season for tank tops and short short sleeve tease
and baseball caps. What's the website, scary? That would be
Brooklyn Boys dot Bigcartel dot com. That's Brooklyn Boys dot
Big Cartel dot com. Now, yeah, as far as the

(03:25):
Brooklyn Boys go, uh, we've got three hundred and seventy
four episodes, so enjoy three seventy five. Actually enjoy all
of them. Now that being said, I teased a couple
of things on Slice Time and last week I have
to get to today, so I will be doing the
Barnes and Noble story and the book that screwed me
up at Target and Scary Scary week has been a
complete travesty on top of a sham of a mockery.

(03:48):
I'm telling a long in a long time. I was
a dumpster fire this week. I mean, the hot mess
expression is coming through. It's scary. On Monday, Hey we are?
We were on sun Are we recording? Because Scary wanted
to do Slice Time on Sunday? I said, hey, are
we recording Sunday? And he said new phone? Who is so? Now?
In twenty twenty six, that's not even a thing anymore,

(04:10):
because you know, your address book automatically goes into a
new phone. So I'm like, he's got to be joking.
Who does I'm like, fuck you? He's like, yeah, he
curses me out. He curses me out, which means that
that I still didn't know who it was, which means
all of his friends curse him out. Otherwise he would
have immediately known it was me. Now, why why you
might ask why, Yeah, so explain scary, not only tell

(04:32):
you the phone. And then so part one why you
have a new phone? And then part two why your
address book wasn't part of your phone. We'll get to
that later. Why do you have a new phone? There
are two separate breaks here, all right, So let's start.
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place
to start. Well, yes, one last thing. Once you hear
the story slices, I want you to leave us a
talk back which part of the story is stupider what

(04:54):
he did that he needed a new phone, or what
he did and he couldn't get his address book. So
let's rewind we wint in the hands of time to
Saturday night when my girlfriend and I were going to
my buddy's daughter sweet sixteen, my boy Jason, Jason and
Denise love them, wonderful couple. And of course we going
to sweet sixteen is a whole other other story, right,

(05:15):
because well, no, I didn't get them done. I will say, no,
I gave her cash. Cash is king you gotta slip
them on. And it was a Saturday night party at
a place called El Crib in a place called El
Carib in Brooklyn, which by the way, is a legendary
Brooklyn Catering Hall. Didn't you work there? No, he did

(05:36):
not work there? And the Palm Short Club close so
but this thing had all the bells and whistles. It
was insane, a crazy cocktail hour, Brody. The seafood was
a flowing at the seafood bar. Now I get there
and we're just I just want to just paint the
picture of the Sweet sixteen first, because of course it's

(05:57):
over the top. I mean, this was he must spent
six figures on this thing, maybe more. I mean it
was that crazy. I mean, you know the days of
the MTV suite, open bar, open bar, top shelf, open bar, Brody, Okay, yeah, no, no, no, no, no,
he wasn't scared over there. Did they have pigs in
a blanket, Yes, for yes they did. They passed o' dirvs.

(06:19):
But the cocktail hour itself was an insane feast. I mean,
my eyes were popping out of my head. I show
up and before I even could say hello, there's a
clamollatini staring me down. Then the fred Glama, the meatballs,
they had, the cheese platters and everything. I'm like, what
the fuck is this? Is this a wedding. It's Saturday night.
They it's prime time and he rented the place out

(06:41):
for his daughter sweet sixteen. Then we sit there and
we're eating. I'm like, wow, they guess they got the
eating out of the way quickly. Oh oh, con tram Montfrere,
the waiter was in my face taking my order. He's like,
what would you like for your main course? I'm like,
what what? What? What? Filaming Yon was on the menu
choice of Brody. I couldn't believe it. I'm sitting there,

(07:03):
I'm like, there's no way this is real life. This
can't be a sweet sixteen. There was salad in front
of me. Then they brought up brought out an appetizer,
and then a whole Viennese hour dessert. Brody, okay, scary?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Scary?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Is your friend Jason Jewish half? Okay? Did his daughter
have a butt? Mitzvah? No, so this is her butt, mitzvah.
This is her big over the top party. It was,
but when I say over the top, it was next
level over the top and this stallone over the top.
Remember I remember I told you that that I don't

(07:39):
know that this was a formal party and it was
just just short of a black tie affair, and it
was a sweet sixteen and I couldn't believe it. And
I'm like, I don't even want to wear a fucking
tied to this thing. I might not have told you.
I might have told the people on the Big Show. Anyway,
couldn't believe it, but this party was just I was like,
my jaw was on the floor. And even Robin was like,

(08:00):
it's like they're a bride and groom gonna come in
here at some point they is this is this Jason style?
Your friend? Does he normally like live this kind of life?
I mean, he's a successful attorney. I mean he's got
his name on the T shirt, you know what I'm saying.
His name is on the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
he's you know, he's a partner. He's a managing partner
of this place. But anyway, ah, but I'm sitting there

(08:22):
and I'm like, my god, what is it like, I mean,
this is only sixteen. Imagine when she gets married what
they have to do? How do you outdo a party
like that at sixteen? Oh oh? Then the robots showed up,
a dancing robot guy that lit up, and then they
had a woman in a dress, a wire dress, larger

(08:45):
than life, and they were champagne glass. There was glass
of champagne around the wire of the dress, all these layers.
She was walking around in a champagne wire dress. Can
you even visualize what I'm telling you right now? Yeah,
she had a big like one of those Cotillion dresses
like those. Yeah, but the way I got champagne all

(09:08):
the way around it up the dress. So you're supposed
to like walk around, oh and grab a champagne, a
glass of champagne off of her dress. It was insane.
They had I bet she looked brutal, brutal ful, Yes,
and then she had Oh oh my god. They had dancers,
they had they brought in I mean, I don't know.
I know, I'm out of breath. I'm out of breath.

(09:30):
I don't even the pigs in a blanket. Did they
have ketchup with the pigs in the blanket? Yeah, they did.
They had it is your tru now you're talking my language? Yeah, no,
but I mean slices. I don't know if you've been
to a sweet sixteen that was that to this caliber,
but it was better than most weddings you'll ever go
to in your life. That I mean, that's how I
would categorize it. I mean, this was definitely higher quality

(09:54):
than than than a lot of weddings I've been to. Anyway,
I don't know how you can do it, but God
bless them, God bless Sophie. Did you give Did you
give a wedding level gift or no? So that's I
knew you see that. I knew you were going to
tag me for that. Wait, let me see if I oh, oh,
hang on a second. You didn't know it was going
to be that way, so you brought a six sweet
sixteen level gift? Did you up the gift? Did you

(10:17):
change the gift? Luckily, Jason and Denise are two of
my best and longest running friends, longest friends from from
I know them. With them, I got twelve years old,
and so luckily I came correct with the correct amount
of cash, because had I not. You didn't write a check. No,

(10:40):
I give him cash. You handed the girl cash. You
had an envelope, I hope in an envelope, but a card.
But but my point is Robin said give this amount,
My sister said give that amount. Another buddy of mine
said give this amount, and then, by the way, everybody's
spending your money, by the way, and then and then,

(11:01):
and then my interior designer Lorraina said, give this, give
him some punch, punch, and Judy, here's a buster, and
here the old buster and punch. And then a sixteen
year old girl needs from her bedroom, don't you buster
and punch? And then my d and then my dad said, look,
I've been to a lot of these and yeah they're

(11:22):
sweet sixteen. It's a sweet sixteen whatever. But it's your
best friend since you're growing up. He goes, Anthony, do
the right thing. So I did the right thing. Do
you know the girl at all? Of course I do. Yeah, No,
of course I know her since she was an infant.
But I will say at that point I said to

(11:43):
my father, all right, you know you're right. And so
I didn't listen to opinion a b or C. I
took my dad's opinion, and thank god I did, because
the party was that kind of quality, because I would
have been embarrassed. I would have been you know what
I've done. I would have left the party in the middle,
gone out, bought a new card, opened up the gift
and stuffed the money in a new card because I

(12:04):
would have been I would have embarrassed had I not
did what I did. You could have left the envelope
unsealed and then added to it. Who does that? What
your people do? Your people take money out sometimes, you
know you you know they do. Some people do, not me.
I would never do that. I don only give anyway.

(12:25):
So yeah, that was an insane, insane party. Well, didn't
have a TV show, my Super Sweet sixteen. So people
do that kind of stuff. They brought it up. Yeah,
you know, go big, go big or go home. But
you know what, the boys get screwed here? You get nothing.
What do you mean you get nothing? There's no Sweet
sixteen for a boy. You get shit? What are you getting? Wow?

(12:47):
You know I thought about that. And then if you're
Spanish you get a Kingtonnierra, So you get it here?
Scary you mean Hispanic? Hispanic? So Waity's second? Yeah, so
so so girl? Right, that's right, girls get it all.
Guys don't. Yeah, a Hispanic girl might get a King
Signira and a sweet sixteen. How about that? A fifteen
and a sixteen double punch and double double punch and

(13:09):
Judy double double bust punch and wait a second, what
if What if she's Jewish she is a bot mitzvah,
a king Saniera at a sweet sixteen? She could be
she could be a Mexican, a Mexican Jew, Yes, yes,
ones are religion ones in national r Hispanic. A Hispanic
Jew can get a bot mitzvah, a king Signira and

(13:33):
that and that's like the triple threat right there. Yes,
but the jay is pronounced h like, so it's who who?
But the guys get nothing except if you're Jewish, get
abut not a bar mitzvah, you get a by miss.
But if you're not, what are you getting? I just
realized you don't get a king signio you really get you?
You don't get a tough guy sixteen. I just realized
I didn't get ship. I don't know did your sister you?

(14:00):
You know what? My sister and I had a joint
sixteenth eighteenth birthday party because she was turning sixteen. I
was turning eighteen, and we are a week apart for
our birthdays, so I remember that vividly. I had an
eighteenth birthday, So you had a piggyback on her sweet sixteen.
I don't know which one you got screwed more. She
got screwed because, yeah, she didn't have the big sweet sixteen. Yeah,

(14:23):
because that's my brother. That's my brother. It's really my
birthday party, my brother. Were both of your names on
the cake? Hell's yeah, yeah, but yours was first, right,
because you're older, that's correct. And also alphabetical order. Alphabetical order, right,
Anthony Jennifer. But isn't that wild? I am just now
really realizing that as a guy, you don't get your life.

(14:45):
Your life is a travesty. Yeah, now she did have
a better one year older. She did have a chance
to Uh, I will give her credit by taking the party.
She did the right thing because she gets to bank
some cash because her sister decided to do and she
had the same option a flyaway to Disney World with
her and her like ten best ten besties, and so

(15:08):
her sister got the experience having like breakfast in Cinderella.
Then ninety of friends are getting the present. You're not.
You're getting you get a plane ticket. Right? What would
you do? How would you? You would probably take the
party in the cash, in the cash, party in the cash, Bob,
I'll take what's fine, Curt Number one party party in
the cash Please party, the cash party party. That's a

(15:29):
rap song party in the cash party in the cash Yeah.
Otherwise you get I got a plane ticket to Disney World.
What do you got? You got memories of a weekend. Meanwhile,
you're nine friends that did nothing, they get everything. They
get the same as you. You're getting the same gift
as your nine friends. Af that fuck that give me
the party in the cash party in the Cash Boys podcast.

(15:54):
So do you want me to continue? You want to pause,
and you want to pause, and you want to go
go after her. Oh, I want to give a let's
break up. Let's break up break That was a great
story in itself. Explain to me this. I'm gonna I gotta,
I gotta you know, I got pick a ball story.
So whenever I have a pick a ball story, I
gotta I play my pick a ball jingle? Hold on,

(16:14):
you gotta you gotta jingle for Why don't you just
give it? Because I gave it to you three times?
You didn't load. It's it's not playing. So how about that?
All right? You don't get a pick a ball jingle
this week? Maybe next week? Please? That wasn't a I

(16:35):
was it? No that's that's a professional jingle saying I
love it. You could tell you know why, because it
didn't sound like it didn't sound like well that too,
but it didn't. It didn't sound like ship. So there's
an app that we use in case you have to
you can't make your your appointment. You booked a court,

(16:56):
or you booked open play and you paid for it
already and you want to get out of it, right,
or you're like, oh, you know what, I'm available this Saturday.
Anybody have an opening, I can take their spot. So
it's like a it's like an exchange. Right, I need
a spot. I got a spot, So this guy. You
tell me what this guy wants? He wrote looking for
a spot Tuesday, seven thirty to nine thirty question mark.

(17:18):
So I wrote, are you asking if someone else is
looking for a spot or are you looking for a spot?
I'm confused. He wrote looking for a spot Tuesday, seven
thirty to nine thirty question mark. Now is he's saying
are you looking for Okay? If he puts the question mark,
I'm assuming he is fishing for someone to take his place.
That's what that means to me with the question mark.

(17:41):
Even though he still wasn't being clear. I could decipher it.
So it turns out he was looking for a spot
and put a question mark at the end. This is
meant looking for a spot. Anyone got one? But yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
looking for a spot period or exclamation me. He's declaring

(18:03):
he's looking for the spot, but looking for a spot
question mark. He's a question to all y'all watching this
or reading this thread. Look, because who's looking for a spot?
That's a question. What wouldn't you just say I have
a spot? Do you want a spot? Or I'm looking
for who? I'm looking for a spot? Question mark? No,

(18:24):
So it turns out he wanted to. He wanted to,
he wanted he was looking for a spot, is right? Yeah.
Now there's a girl on Instagram. She's blind and you
and you could tell her eyes are a little off
and but she's very funny. I don't remember her name,
it's irrelevant. So she's very nice to meet you. Irrelevant, Yeah,

(18:45):
very funny and she does interesting things even though she's blind.
I don't remember the name of the account, but this
person wrote your beautiful inside and out young lady. Hmm,
so I wrote she won't see that. Well she might,
because she might have the voice the voice system. She
won't see it. Well she'll hear it. Yeah, she'll get

(19:10):
the message. What's the difference, all right? Well if you know, yeah,
you're a dick. He's speaking of speaking of bad eyes.
You're so literal, you know, So there's a well speaking
of literal or not. I'm walking in Target, not walking
in Memphis. I'm walking in Target and I see a

(19:31):
book on by the register. You know, they have like
candy and sodas, and sometimes they put things that are
on special. And there's a book there with a woman
on the cover holding his sword, and the name of
the book is Psycho Breasts. I look at it and
I go, what kind of book is Psycho Breasts? And
why are they selling it at Target? It's like the fuck.

(19:52):
So I'm looking at the book. I'm maybe fifteen feet
away from it, and I go, what's this book about?
So I google it and I look at my phone
and I look back at the book and I realize
that I'm a little boy and the book says Psycho Beasts,
but I saw psycho Psycho breasts. Yeah, you know that

(20:15):
happens a lot where I just misread something. I misread
it to mean something a little bit more perverse than
it was. Yes, what happened to you where you hear
something and it was innocuous? It was, it was innocent,
but you could swear you heard something dirty or you
saw something you're like, that's a dirty sign. I thought
this said psycho breasts. Somehow my brain saw an extra

(20:37):
R in the word. So, yeah, right, I want to
give a shout out to this idiot. I'm on LinkedIn
wo and LinkedIn constantly gives me spam messages from people.
So I made a post right but before you, before
you go on, I have a great example of me

(20:58):
I do. When people wear that golf hat titleist, I
see tit tittlist. Yeah, I see titious and my brain
can't see anything else. That's what I was. I'm like,
I wait, hold on a second. This happens to me
all the time. So when we were there wearing the
titleist hat, I see titious. I see titsus absolutely. Anyway,

(21:22):
I'm sorry, I have a tit question for all the slices.
It's sort of a tit question. I'll ask that later anyway.
So I made a comment that a lot of the
spam I get on LinkedIn is hey, I I I
checked out your podcast. I like what I'm hearing. Let's
work together. I can grow your audience. Stuff like that. Oh,

(21:44):
I really like what you're doing. We should work together.
I can definitely expand your audience base constant. And these
are people that never fucking listen to our podcast. They're
just they're just people with names I can't pronounce that
are just spamming. Oh I'm gonna get someone. A'm they're
gonna hire me. I don't know who you are. I'm
gonna hire. I don't need you to. All we had
to do is put us put our podcast in the

(22:06):
el Strand podcast folder, and we tripled our audience opportunities.
Your help, right, Okay? So I get a bunch of
people commenting like, oh, I hate that, I agree with you.
So I get a post that says, hi, David Brody,
I came across your podcast really like what you're building,
which is like what you're building building. I thought it'd

(22:27):
be great to connect and exchange insights. Well, what insights
am I gonna give you? You don't have a podcast,
So what insights am I gonna share with you?

Speaker 1 (22:34):
You?

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Don't have a podcast, So how am I gonna you
want me to pay you to? So okay, so I
put up this post, and I say, I put up
so I screenshot that and I put it up and
I say, this is exactly what my last post was about.
My inbox is inundated with scammers who quote unquote came
across my podcast really like what you're building and have

(22:55):
never listened to it. Sigh. So you'd think, okay, that'll
get the point across. Oh no, shout out to Tyler.
He writes, Hey, David, saw your post. Feels like half
of Lincoln suddenly became podcast growth experts overnight. Right, so far,
so good? Right, Sure, it feels my pain seems like

(23:19):
feels like half of LinkedIn suddenly became podcast growth experts overnight.
Putting the spam aside, I'm curious what's actually been moving
the needle for you audience wise with Brooklyn and how
can I help I do audience growth? Oh fuck you,
you're doing the thing I just complained about by saying, Wow,

(23:40):
look at those people. Don't you hate that. Now that
that's out of the way, here's some more spam about
growing your podcast. Yeah, you're doing the thing I didn't
want to be done. You're the fun. It's like me
putting up a post saying I hate those spam phone
calls asking me to take out a loan, and somebody go, god,
I hate those. Hey. Anyway, by the way, would you
like a loan? That's what he did, Tyler Tyler audience

(24:03):
growth specialist. If that's a specialist, you wouldn't be trying
to sell me, you'd be already helping other people grow
their audience. Yeah, you know, I get a lot of
these on Instagram a lot, and they they're like they're
like hi, or from my other podcast, high Speaking Volumes podcast, Hi, Comma,
and then the Speaking Volumes podcast is in a different

(24:24):
font or a different color, right, right, they past they
paste it right and then but they're always they it's
a bot or whatever. It's AI, and they they some
of them now are getting a little better where they're
having the AI scour the page pick up a few things.
I saw that thing you did with that and it
was basically just a post from the past. So they

(24:48):
think they they're trying to be relatable, like they are
a listener. They're trying to trick us. Now, Hey, speaking
Volumes podcast. I saw how you offended your friend from
being too old to have a baby. Yeah, yeah, remember that.
Yeah No, but I will say that the they are there,
they're they're trying to damn this. I will say, but

(25:10):
there's I don't think there's anybody behind that or you know,
a real person. Some of these are phishing scams, right yeah,
Like like a lot of these people try and collab
with me. Hey, love your content, scary at Scary Jones.
I see your engagement is good, but I can grow

(25:30):
it three times as much, you know. Or they want
to collab on a post, or they say, because you're
you're into things like this, this and this nondescript hobby, A,
B and C, we would love for to you for
for you to pay to pay you one two hundred
us D for a one time collab post. I'm like, yeah, okay, right,

(25:57):
I don't know. I I just think that that you
just gotta be worry. And oh, by the way, my dad,
speaking of getting scammed, my dad hit me with with
an American Express charge on his card. Apparently he got
a text message that said that this is a there

(26:17):
was a fraud charge at the Exon station for like
one hundred and seventy five bucks, and you know, he
was like, oh, I'm not falling for this, So he
ignored it. And then he got a phone call. And
he got a phone call and they were like, Hi,
we're calling about the fraud charge on your AMEX card.
And my father went went nuts on him and cursed

(26:38):
him out whatever, hung up the phone. And then he's like, hmm,
I'm gonna call Amex. I'm gonna call them. Omber on
the back of my card calls them. They absolutely were
not scamming. That was Amex. And that text was a
real text from Amex saying there was a one hundred
and seventy five dollars fraud charge from exon station. This

(27:00):
happened him last Saturday. He couldn't believe it, but he
did the right thing. Don't give him any information over
the phone, don't answer the take just call the number,
hang up, be polite about it. Don't do it my
dad did. Don't curse him off. But imagine that, how
do you I mean, in this in this environment, in

(27:20):
the age and age, how the hell do you know
if it's I mean, I didn't realize AMEX still does that.
That they still do these fraud alerts like that, and
then you you know, then they follow up with phone calls.
You know, I guess, Yeah, Well I got a guy
at Pickleball was telling a story that he got a
fraud alert at Pickleball last week, and they said, oh,

(27:41):
did you just spend fifteen hundred dollars at the Apple
store in such and such mall? He said, He said, no,
I did not. I did, though, I'll tell you that
story coming up, okay, And he says, no I did.
He goes, oh, well, we were going to stop the
We stopped the charge. We denied the charge because it
was an exorbitant price. And the guy didn't have the
pin or whatever he needed thatarticular the AMEX card or whatever.

(28:02):
So what what what happened happen? He had gone to
dinner at a new restaurant the night before and used
that card, and he's pretty confident that the twenty something
waiter took the number and uh and and you know,
duplicated the card or copied the card whatever they call it,
cloned the clone the card, and then went and tried

(28:23):
to buy something at the Apple store the next day. So, yeah,
he got a fraud alert and it was legitimate. So
well either way, either way, hang up and call the
card number in the back of your card. That's the
only way that you're going to tell if It'spiel or not.
All right, We're going to take a break, and then
I'm going to reveal why I am a giant bonehead

(28:48):
with scary and brody. So just to reset, Okay, you
fucked up twice, so I want you to tell the
first story. We'll take a little break, and he'll tell
the second story. Because the first story I thought was like, oh,
that's pretty dumb, but to the second story, also pretty dumb.
The floor is you want scary? Oh yeah, thanks, don't

(29:08):
break anything. So it was Saturday night. I was on
my way to that black tie so sweet sixteen. I
had my I had a suit on, but it was
kind of warm out, so I was driving. I was
gonna go pick up my girlfriend. I get to my car,
I had stuff in my I had stuff to give
to my girlfriend as well. I had a bag, so
and I wanted to take my jacket off and have
my phone in my hand, put my phone on the

(29:30):
roof of my car, open up my jacket, take my
jacket off, set everything down, get in the car. I
started driving. I had my navigation on, I had I
had car Play working, and I'm driving. I'm driving, and
all of a sudden, as I'm about maybe two blocks, Yeah,

(29:52):
so I left. Obviously, I left my phone on the
roof of my car and I drove away with it. Well, okay,
that's obvious because but not obvious to me at the
time because it was still playing. It was still picking
up car Play. So I'm driving down the road and
I'm driving. I'm driving, and you know, I'm looking at
the directions and I'm I'm and I'm and I'm saying
which way to go? Without to beat the beat the

(30:13):
freaking traffic. I love ways. Ways is my favorite Ways.
Why don't you sponsor the Brooklyn Boys podcast? Hello people
drive while they're listening. Just a thought anyway, So I'm
driving and I'm and all of a sudden, I hit
a bump and I and I'm like boom, and I
and something on my roof at the time, unbeknownst to me,
like bounces and then hits me, hits the side of

(30:35):
my window. As I'm driving, I'm like, what the fuck
was that? Did someone throw something at my car because
I didn't know what I don't know, so and I'm
going and then I'm looking down at the nav and
I'm like everything is off. I'm like, how did my
phone lose connectivity? And I'm like wait, and I look
at the holster. I'm like, where's my phone. It's not here.
So I pull over into the nearest the buy right

(30:56):
parking lot in my suit and tie, and I'm like,
where's my fight that it falls between the door jam
because you know the phones do that that, you know,
if if the phone is ever gonna fall in the car,
where does it fall in between the fucking seats? Because
it always does. I don't I don't interrupt you, but okay,
justin Timberlake suit and tie. Thank you. So i get

(31:17):
out of the car and I'm like rummaging through shit
and I'm like, where where's this fucking phone. I'm looking
to it between the seats and then it occurs to me,
holy shit, boom, the boom. My phone went boom. And
the boom was the phone because I left it on
the roof of the car. It never was in my
car because I'm thinking, like, it wasn't my car because
of the car put wait a second. I was like, shit,

(31:41):
oh my god, and I'll start freaking out because the
last thing I want, no matter what, is for somebody
to take my phone. It's maybe it survived the fall
and somebody picked it up. And if someone stole it,
I would have been fucking pissed. I was upset enough
and panicking as it was. I doubled back. It took
me eight minutes to get to the spot where the

(32:05):
phone was dropped, where the phone went boom mhm. And
I parked the car and I go into the road
and and and there it was. I see the car
in the middle of the street, and in the phone
what I see the phone in the see the phone
in the mill of the street. And in typical comedic fashion,

(32:25):
as I'm going into the middle the street to get
the phone, one last car runs it over for good measure.
It was so fucking fun. At that point, I'm like,
and I already I see the case is strewn across
the fucking thing in three pieces. The phone was destroyed,
but I picked it up. It is the most mangled.

(32:47):
It was right out of a movie. It was the
most mangled destroyed fucking phone on both sides all all
the cameras were punched out. The glass was just shattered.
You could see the fucking a piece of the fucking okay, okay,
rolling stones. You could see the intelligence part of the
fucking phone whatever that thing was inside the phone on
the other side that makes it work, the chip. You

(33:07):
could see everything. And then the glass was shattered. I
was like, fuck, you do me? Wow? So yeah, that was.
That was And then I had a panic because I
was running late to pick up Robin. And now I'm
in my car and it's like nineteen ninety two all
over again. How am I gonna call her? Yeah? I
had not that I was fucked, so I, you know,
I get there and I had to ring her doorbell

(33:30):
to make her because again this is old school. I
pulled like and I was like twenty minutes late, and
I pay and she buzzed me up and I take
the elevator to she just what happened, And at first
she thought she had thought that I'd fallen asleep and
forgot about the event. And then then she sees me
all disheveled and she goes, are you okay did you

(33:52):
get in an accident? And I'm like, knock on Wood, No,
I didn't, and I told her the story, and then
then we went to this set sixteen where I had
withdrawals all night, where I wall you couldn't post any pictures,
couldn't post a foot. All the shit I talked about
at the top of this podcast is just a memory.
I don't have any any pictures through me old school, okay,

(34:15):
mindy mighty bosstones just to prove it. So I'm sitting
there so yeah, I mean, and you know, dude, I
wanted to get a picture of the dancing robot. I wanted.
I wanted to get the picture of the seafood tower
and send it in Robin, give you her phone and
let you anyway. I was out of it and my
mind was elsewhere. I was googling which Apple store is

(34:36):
open because I can go to it. Midwood. That must
have been health for you. Must have been hell. It
was like going through withdrawal. It really was a matter
of fact. I found out. Did you know that the
Apple store on fifty ninth Street in Columbus, I'm sorry,
fifty ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, the main flagship is
open twenty four to seven. I did not know that open.

(35:00):
If you want to find that out. You couldn't You
couldn't google ithout from her phone. Anyway, we took three
o'clock in the morning. If I want a phone, I
can go go to the Apple Store. It's open. That
is the beauty of New York City. Yeah, you can't
the thing you need twenty four hours food, Yeah, dry cleaning.
But I didn't do that. I said, look, I said,
let's make an appointment with the Genius Bar. Whatever the

(35:21):
case those people. I said, I gotta get a face
that you clearly can never work. And I said, we
are getting up at the ass crack of dawn and
we are going to make the first available appointment. So
we figured we would jump into the city at for
a nine am appointment. I poor Robin. I dragged her
out of bed for this, and I said, you know
a minute, This Genius Bar is in Jersey. Why won't

(35:43):
you just go to one of the ones in Jerny.
I wanted first thing in the morning to go and
get up and get that phone. I didn't care, I
didn't know, I didn't want to know anything. And plus
I wanted to see what they can do for me.
Because Part two of the story is coming up because
I will get to that. I knew I was going
to have a problem when I got to the to

(36:04):
the max door. Let me just give you a little
bit of advice in life, because I'm gonna give you
more advice for your second party. It stupid. I keep
a phone from two generations ago for this kind of emergency. Yeah,
so I have I think it's a Galaxy Note nine
from like six years ago. So if anything happens to
my phone, which it did, my phone crapped out in

(36:25):
June last year, I've got a phone I can activate
with all the apps, everything set up so that if
there's a problem, all right, all right, all right, Iggyzelia.
If there's a problem, you all solve it, all right.
Check out my hook while my DJ revolves DJ revolves it.
So you need a backup phone. That's first that you

(36:47):
need to do is get yourself a used backup phone
and set it up and sync it up and get
it ready. So okay, so slices, that's your step one.
If you've ever done that, What have you left that
was expensive on your car on the roof for the car?
Go to the car that you lost it fell off
and you destroyed it. Oh, but what happened. But before
we even go further than that, let me just add,

(37:07):
let me give you the exclamation point at the end
of this sentence. I did not I do not have
Apple Care, or I don't have any insurance or nothing.
So I was about to come out of pocket for
this fucking computer in a pocket. Okay, all right, So
hold that thought. When I was a kid, my parents
took me to a toy store. I want to say, uh,

(37:31):
scare you'll know where this is. Most of the audience
won't know. Was on like eighteenth Avenue. There was a
big toy store, big toy store in our neighborhood, and
so we went there. So it's maybe, I don't know,
ten blocks from where I lived. And my father bought me.
My mother and father bought me a Fisher Price garage
with like plastic cars and you a little elevator. A
cranked the elevator off and then the car got on

(37:52):
the ramp and it was you can give oil changes.
It was all pretend, and it was in a box
I want to say, like two by two by two
cube Fisher Price parking garage. Okay, And we leave the store,
we get home and my father goes to the trunk

(38:14):
to get the parking garage and it's not there. My
mom says, did you leave it on the back seat? No,
I don't know what I do with it. He left
it on the roof of the car and it flew
off the roof of the car. And because it's Brooklyn,
somebody picked it up, took it and they were gone. Yeah,
so we had to go back to the store and

(38:34):
buy another one. Now, a twenty dollars Fisher Price garage
is not quite the same as an iPhone. That's the
closest thing. I'm happy to one stole it. I'm happy
that I have it in my possession. And and oh,
by the way, did you see these all the videos
on TikTok now where the guy goes to home depot,
he takes black calk, puts it on the roof and

(39:00):
drives away with it and has the windows rolled down,
and people are like, yo, you got you got colk?
You got colk on your roof. There's a there's a
black cock on your roof. It's very very funny. And
if that, yeah, but it's cute, and I mean in
real life, back in the day, you remember, we used
to send the Jersey kid. Greg t out, oh yeah,

(39:22):
put he put a fake I mean, this was I
don't know how we would never be able to do
this today. He put a fake baby, a baby doll
pretty much in a in a in a like a
carry kate, you know, the what do you call that thing?
Then you put the babies in baby baby cradle what's
it on the roof of the car and starts driving
like five miles an hour through a parking lot, almost

(39:43):
as if to say say that, oops, I love the
baby on the roof. And people were freaking out, and
then when he started laughing they realized it was they
were not happy. I mean, I don't know that that
would that would be awful to do that today. But
these are the kinds of pranks we used a pall
on the show. Yeah I was. I want to just
go on the record saying I was always against it

(40:04):
and I had nothing to do with it. Yeah, okay,
all right, we got to take a quick break. We'll
be right back for more stupidity and I do mean
yeah stupidity the Brook Glynn Voice Podcast. We will be
right back. All right, Let's let's take a break from
from this story. Real quick, because I want to do
my boy. I want to talk about what happened with
Pines and no do as you should, So keep in

(40:25):
mind Slices scary leaving his phone on the hood of
his car, in my opinion, was only one of the
dumb things. We'll get to the other thing and then
you'll tell us which was dumber. Okay, all right. So
I used to do a podcast called Walkers and Talkers,
which was a Walking Dead podcast back when I when
I worked for iHeart So I think I did the
podcast from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one something like that, right,

(40:51):
and then the show went off the air, and then
by the time the show came back, I had left
the company and I couldn't coordinate with my co host,
and we stopped doing the podcast. But at one point
for research, because the show is based on a comic book,
I went to Barnes and Noble no s, by the way,
not Nobles, Barnes and Noble, and I bought paperback versions

(41:14):
of let's say, thirty comic books that were like covered
the season that we were talking about, so like, oh,
they're up to this part of the story in the
comic books, I'll buy the trade paperback, meaning it's like
it's like a soft covered book, but each book has
like ten issues of comic books in it. That makes
sense so far. Sure, And I bought three of them,

(41:36):
so I think I know. I paid twenty eight dollars
for them. Well, COVID hit around the time I bought them,
and I didn't get around to reading them, and we
did the podcast from home and I never bothered with
it because there was other things going on in the world,
and I kind of forgot about the books and I

(41:57):
never read them, never opened them, never touched them, and
they were still in the Barnes and Noble plastic bag.
I bought them in with the receipt in the bag
because I thought at some point maybe I would expense
the books because it was for the work for the podcast.
I never got around reading them anyway. So that was

(42:17):
seven years ago. Yep. I'm going through my stuff, going through,
uh but my bookcase in my office here at home,
and I see the Barnes and Noble bag and they go, oh,
there's the Walking Dead books I paid twenty eight dollars for.
I said, well, I could sell them at a loss,

(42:40):
but I'll just return to Barnes and Noble. Now Barnes
and Noble has a sixty day return policy. But I'm like, wow,
the books are in great shape, they're untouched, they're brand new,
maybe though, you know. So I call ahead, I call.
I live between two stores. I call the first store
and I say, hey, listen, um, I got these books

(43:01):
I bought. I don't have a receipt. Can I get it?
Can I get a credit? Well, he had a receipt.
You know, if they're over in sixty days, we can't
take him back. I said, well, I'll try to find
the receipt. Okay. So I'm like, you know what, I'm
gonna go to other ones see if they're a little
more friendly towards returning. I go to other one. I

(43:21):
go up to the register and there's a young woman
working there. I guess she's like, you know, college kid whatever.
And I said, he, I got these books as a
gift and I don't have the receipt. So he says,
when did you get them? I don't know. I bought

(43:44):
them at the other store, you know, the one by
the male I bought him like three weeks ago. But
I don't I don't have I don't have I don't.
I don't. You know, I don't know what? So well,
you know the receipt, So I said, well, to be
honest with you, my mom, Uh, I paid cash. I
paid cash? What I said, I paid cash? Uh? Oh?

(44:05):
So I had a gift card, I said, I had
a gift card for my bets. What it was? I
had a gift card for my birthday. My birthday was
in January. I used the gift card, and I don't,
I don't, I don't. I didn't keep the receipt. I
used the gift card. Oh okay, let me get my manager.
So the manager comes over and says, uh, you don't
have a receipt. I said, no, I I bought. These

(44:26):
were a gift card I got for my birthday back
in January, and I'll have a receipt. So she sees,
I go, but look they're unopened. I haven't touched them.
So she says, you are a slimy one, Brodie, hold on,
hold on, hold on. It gets worse, I'll say. So.
She says, uh, huh that they're in the plastic bag.

(44:47):
I go, yeah, I keep I kept it, you know,
everything in great condition. So I said that She goes, uh,
you know that bag is some like ten years ago.
That that design on the bag. We haven't used that
bag in a long time now, scare you know me?
I have improv skills. I did, no, no, not busted.
So I said, yeah, I'm a big Barnes and Noble fan.

(45:09):
That's why I got the gift card for my birthday.
And I save all the bags because I'm such a fan.
So it was raining when I when I bought the books,
so I put them in the bag. So I was
going to return them a few days ago when it
was raining, I put them in. I was like, you
know what, it'd be funny. I'll put them in one
of my old Barnes and Noble bags. And that's why
they're in the old Barnes and Noble bag. Look at

(45:30):
you and she fucking bought that hook line and sinker.
So she says, wow, that's a dedicated fan. I go, yeah,
I have old Target bags. You know you can't get
plastic bags anymore, so I saved my plastic bags. Just wow,
you are a fan. You keep a bag that long.
That's great. She's all right, Well, I can only give
you a merchandise credit. I said, that sounds fantastic, since

(45:51):
I bought them with a merchandise credit. So she gives
me back a merchandise credit. She goes, there you go. Now,
keep in mind, scary, I paid twenty eight dollars, yeah,
seven years ago. Here you go forty four dollars onto
a mention. Pice. Wait, hold on, you paid what he
paid twenty eight dollars and seven years ago? Oh, forty

(46:12):
and forty four? How did it mount to forty four bucks?
Because they're more expensive now? They went up in price.
So I made Now I did I return them? I
made sixteen bucks? What the fuck? I didn't ask for
the extra money. But I can't tell her I only
paid twenty eight dollars seven years ago. Of course that

(46:33):
I should catch her to lie, right, So I got
a forty four dollar credit for comic books that I
bought seven years ago. I never read you made money? Yeah?
And I was like, can I? So I got this
is the kicker. I go, hey, can I get the
bag back? I'm such a fan of that bag. I
want to keep the bag, just absolutely, Now, hold on,

(46:56):
you are a true scum bag. You are conniving. You
are the problem. You are the problem with society. No,
I bought the books. They're unused and now they're still
brand new. That still gets to resell them, I know,
but that has an expiration date on it, like not
like like milk has an expiration, But that is a
monetary expiration on it. Because I'm blaming the pandemic. It's

(47:20):
not like I cut the line of license slices. Is
it better than cutting the line on Mother's Day? Absolutely,
call this motherfucker out. No, that's bullshit. Now before slices,
before you bring up what Tall Darren did. Tall Darren
returned a used inflatable mattress that he slept on to Target,
and I called him out for it. I returned brand
new books that had an arbitrary sixty day return policy.

(47:44):
They can resell them for forty eight forty four dollars
and no harm, no foul, something in the milk and clean.
I'm sorry. Nah, they got to resell it for the
same money they did me. And it's all even You
shouldn't be able to get it. You shouldn't get a
pass on that. Well, I didn't know I was gonna
get more money. I thought i'd get back. Look, the
prices are on the back cover. I thought i'd get

(48:06):
the same amount of money I paid. All right, Ira money.
I got some ship here that has unopened, untouched. Let's
see how far you could take it. I got a
lot of stuff here I got I got what is
it though? I got DVD at nineteen ninety five. I
got DVD from from the Disney Okay, Disney vault. I
got there. Why would you buy Disney DVDs? You have

(48:26):
no kids and you don't like Disney. They were promotional shit.
I got it for free. Oh yeah, no one's buying that.
Nobody buys DVDs. I got stuff from. I got stuff
in the Disney vault, unopened. The Disney vault. You feel
for that? Yeah, you know they used to really. Yeah, well,
we're putting the Little Mermaid vhs in the vault. It
won't be available again for fifteen years. Yeah, nobody, random store.

(48:48):
Is the Disney vault the vault? Yeah, the stuff's not
where Frozen Walt Disney is. He's in the vault, all right. Slices, slices.
If we're turning a used mattress to target, is it
is a nine returning books past the sixty days in
a brand new condition, that's like a three. No, it's

(49:10):
not three. It's more like a six or seven. It's
a six seven. I gotta say something. You are a
scumbag because if this, if I did the same thing,
you would find fault with it. You would find a
way to try and prove me, okay wrong. Let's not
throw the word scumbag around when you're the guy who
cut the line on Mother's Day. Okay, you're never gonna

(49:32):
live that town. It doesn't matter. That's when people don't know,
don't won't hurt them. I want to ahead of one person. No,
you would ahead of every person after you. No, it's
like when you chisel in at the end of the
exit and you sneak in onto the onto the onto
the merge, on the parkway, onto the off ramp, and
you sneak in. You're like, oh, the need cut off
one guy. No, you cut off everybody. Okay. So I

(49:55):
have a friend. I'm not proud of this. He bought
a computer for his son gaming computer at I'm not
gonna say. I'm gonna say it's it's the top electronics store.
One might say it's the the one that's better than
the others. Okay, their name might describe that. It's it's
it's the better place to purchase something, the better purchase. Okay, Okay,

(50:19):
bought a computer, kid, used it for about a month
and a half, and he overloaded the circuit board. He
bought another one, put the broken one in the box
and returned it and said this is defective. We just
bought it. Okay, that's a scumbag move, right, Okay, hold on,
is it Is it better or worse than returning unused

(50:42):
books to Barnes and Noble. That's worse? Okay? Is it
better or worse than returning a slept on air mattress
to Target? That's worse because at least because at least
at least that was gently used and can be sold again,
Whereas and they would know the ramifications of hey this
this mattress is coming back. There's a chance it could

(51:03):
have been slept on. But he took intentionally took something
that was broken and unusable that they're gonna have to
that's cost out of their pocket. That's the fucking worst
of that's the worst of the lot right there. That's okay. Shit,
So I'm like third, I'm like, so what I did
is pales in comparison, right, so I'm down like it too.
Now all right, thank you, now, thank you. I did

(51:25):
nothing wrong. Now let's get back to scary. Because Scary
scary you'd think he couldn't top it. You're like, how
could he have done something stupider? I was leaving his
phone on the hood of his was already out an
iPhone where which was uncovered on you know, no insurance,
no insurance. So I texted Scary and he writes back,
new phone. Who is? And I mean who? Well? Because

(51:48):
how could you not know who I was when I texted?
Because when I went to Apple, the only thing they
could have done for me at that point was activate
a phone with my current phone line, which thank god
I knew the pin to my Verizon otherwise have even
been able to do that. But they were able to
pourt in my phone. So way was your dress book?
I don't understand, Well, I wasn't logged into my Apple

(52:10):
i D when I got the new phone, so so
you would you just log in? I don't understand why. Well,
I don't exactly have my Apple i D password memorized there.
David Brody, Oh okay, that seems fair, But I'm sure
you emailed it to yourself, or you have something very
memorable like like Radio one hundred that you remember your password.

(52:32):
I have a very complicated Apple I D password. And
so okay, a very good, very good. You're really on
it this week with the songs. Yeah, and I will
say gees on it all right, beastie boys. So well, listen,
truth be told. I have my Apple I D password

(52:55):
written down in one place and one place on ox
where where did where did I? Where do I have
my Apple I D password written down? Folks in the
notes section of my iPhone? Now, the notes section of
your iPhone lives under a car, lives inside no, no,

(53:17):
it lives within the Apple I D universe. So in
order to get to the note section of of your phone,
you need you need your Apple I D password to
be you need to be logged into your Apple ID.
So so now that's the equivalent of locking your keys
in the car. In the car. So now I'm locked

(53:38):
out of the car. Okay, And now I've got no
no passwords, no apps, no, And you know, think of
all of the apps you use in a daily basis
that are face you know that that have the password
already in there I have to do. If I don't
get my fucking Apple I D password, I am now
fucked and I have to I have to start downloading

(53:58):
apps from scratch. I have no record of anyone's contact.
I will have no phone numbers, no addresses, no emails,
and I've no I certainly have no no, no, no
I messages, no text chat histories. I got nothing because
I'm on the outside looking in. Because the key to
that car is my Apple ID password. It took me forever,

(54:23):
so I found a way to do it. Luckily. I
don't know how this happened, but my work laptop is
logged in to my current Apple I D and it is.
I had listed it, thank God, as a recovery method
to confirm I am who I am. So okay, popy

(54:49):
so I so as luck would have it. Yeah, I
was two blocks from the radio station when I got
my iPhone, so I took I went to work, I
went to the station, picked up my laptop, brought it
home with me. It was it was obviously run a
battery because I'd left it on all the fucking weekend,

(55:10):
so I let it charge. I went out for the afternoon,
and I said, when I get home tonight, I'm going
to say forgot password, at which time my mac book
would light up with hey, you're trying to log in
on this other device. Is this you? And by the

(55:31):
time I got home, after all was said and done
for the day, and I had a lot of drinks
that afternoon because I was like, I was fit to
be tied. I had already been through mental anguish where
I couldn't post for sixteen hours. My whole people must
have thought I fell off or moved out somewhere because
I couldn't. I went, I went, My story went dead.

(55:52):
I had no story for over twenty four hours. And
so I got home, plugged it in, and there it was,
forgot word, and right in front of me was my
MacBook Pro that said is this you? I'm like, oh,
it sure is, click and it let me in and
I and now I have, somewhere outside of my Apple ID,

(56:15):
I have that password written down on an actual physical
sheet of paper. Slicesy. Just email it to yourself and
create a folder in your email account, but where your
passwords go, just where your email is accessible wherever you go,
and then figure out and email yourself your password for
your email address and email it to a different email address.
I'm going to do that. I'm going to have it

(56:36):
do The redundancy is going to be insane. But Slices,
I'm sure there's a few of you out there, not
just me. This isn't just a me thing. There's someone
saying that, holy shit, what happened is scary? Can happen
to me? And yeah, the only place I actually haven't
written is inside of the notes section of my fucking phone.
So let me tell you a little bit about Android.

(56:57):
First of all, the my Android phone would have survived
all the cars, that's right. Second of all, all of
my note programs are network based. I can log in,
I can download Samsung notes on my computer, other phones,
my tablets, and my log in I can see my
notes the same time and all my devices, So that'll

(57:20):
never happen to me. Scary because you are an Apple
phone user and you fuck yourself. You put the keys
in the car, you lock the baby in the car.
That's what you did, So don't do that again. So, Slices,
which of this story is dumber? Please talk? You don't
have the phone leaving the phone on the hood of
his car, which is listen, it can happen. It's an

(57:41):
honest mistake. It's happened to people. And what happens. By
the way, what have you what have you left on
the roof of your car? I'm sure people have left
a lot of ship on the roof of their.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Car, or deliberately leaving the password that you can't remember
in the notepad that you can't access unless you have
the password that's written.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
On the notepame I'm gonna go out on a limb
here and same inception. There's a lot of people that
didn't realize that until just now that oh shit, that's right.
If this ever happens to me, I'm fucked because but
you're a radio professional. I don't blame them. You should
know better. You're a technology guy and the technology guy
on the morning show. Yeah, speaking of technology, can we
finally talk about what the fuck happened in malls throughout

(58:23):
America this weekend? It was like the Cabbage Patch kid
craze was what was happening all over again from the eighties,
and or the Tickle Me Elmo or ferbies, or or
the Beanie babies or Pokemon cards. Goddamn it. Swatch an
ap the fancy watch company came together to do that
collab and the Royal Pop collab. They're supposed to be

(58:45):
these pocket watches and by the way, they will be
bands released for them, so you could pop them into
a band at some point. They retail for three to
four hundred dollars a thirty thousand dollars. Brand like ap
where the cheapest watches a thirty k are now collabing
with Swatch the Classic and they're making all these crazy
colorful watches. And your boy tried to get his hands

(59:08):
on one. Wasn't happening so easily. I don't even I
don't wear jewelry. And then we talked about this on
the podcast last week, right how, I don't how I
just want to be part of this collapse. I just
want want to they look beautiful. I want to get one. Well,
that's not happening anytime soon. It was so bad on
Watch Drop morning that Swatch re released a statement saying

(59:32):
that the following locations around the country are not opening
today due to public safety concerns, and two of them
are right here, Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island and
Soho not opening. In fact, some of these stores decided
not to open and not participate in this. Yeah, it's
it's actually gotten worse because people keep showing up. This

(59:56):
is you know, because you know what happens. Oh and
by the way, these motherfuckers, it's already out there on
the black market. These watches are marked up ten times
for a four hundred dollar watch is now going for
four thousand dollars, four thousand dollars on eBay and all

(01:00:17):
the sites for four hundred, three to four hundred. So
now you're gonna pay three to four thousand dollars from
you know, opportunists. And I gotta say, you really see
the worst in humanity. You really see really disgusting, despicable people.

(01:00:38):
Because people were waiting in line to oh here I
am Brodie. I think I did the equivalent of this
on Mother's Day when the when the mall opened, people
were waiting since midnight. All of a sudden, everybody bum
rushed the doors from everywhere. Chaos ensued. So I guess

(01:00:59):
I did a little bit of that on on Mother's Day,
except I did it discreetly. You'll never get you'll never
get over that one. But the mob scene though that
that people physically like throwing punches at each other. I
mean that's disgusting. That is that is next level. Like,
let me ask you a question. Yeah, if you had

(01:01:22):
if somebody said to you, scary, you can get a
new iPhone to replace your old iPhone, or this watch,
write a free iPhone, or the right to purchase the watch.
Which would you choose? I would take the watch and

(01:01:43):
just suck it up and buy the iPhone because I
know because this is a special, special thing. It's a
limited edition that no one will care about in two weeks.
That's not true. That's not true, hogwash. This is gonna
be the hottest thing this summer. People gonna be sporting
their aps. Are there a swatch? It's like going to

(01:02:07):
swap swap swap, right, it's a swamp. It's it's swatch. Yeah.
I don't think they. I don't think they'd be too
proud of that Moniker. But okay, uh, isn't this like
a Porsche merging with a Hyundai? Yeah, something like that.
Do I really want to Porsch Hyundai? I don't know.

(01:02:28):
Do you I like a punday? I'm all about a punday.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Fun every day, happy pun day. I think I think
that you're you're what you know? I don't know. I
got caught up in the hype of it. I guess
I'm not getting one, nap, I don't you know. Gandhi's
boyfriend in Detroit was up on it and he was
texting me, Hey, man, if I get, if I get
in there, man, I will get you one two, no problem.
I got you, broddy buddy, right. But he didn't get.

(01:02:54):
He didn't get if he got he was part of
the video he sent was disgusting. What of people like
trying to get in and muscle in it on each other.
It was they're all you slices. If you got one
of these, let us know, like for real, if you
got one, I can't imagine, Just like I don't seem
like the type to care about a swap. A swap swap,
you never know? All right, all right, maybe I'll get

(01:03:16):
They said it's not going to be limited edition, though
they said it's going to be around for months, so
no need to go fighting. Last question before we before
we uh move on, did you take out a contract
for protection on your next phone? I did? I got
the Apple Care this time, okay, because I got the
Google whatever the Samsung plan from Verizon like seventeen bucks

(01:03:38):
a month, which is great because my phone died in Jane.
In June, they got a new phone sent to me immediately. Yeah,
so how are you going to buy? Buy a beater phone,
like for one hundred bucks, get yourself a backup far.
I will say that you did give me a good
idea there, but wait, but I just leave it dormant
and then activated. If I don't, why you just have
you have like an iPhone eleven or something or ten

(01:03:59):
that you pick up somewhere for like one hundred bucks.
And this way, next time your phone craps out, even
if it the hard drive dies, it just shits to bed.
You're like, oh, turn on the old phone. I got
a phone. At least I'm not fucked, right, get a
backup phone, slices, get a backup phone. I'm saying people
can't afford their current phone, They're gonna get a backup phone.
I don't know, all right, Look, you can get a

(01:04:21):
go on eBay get a phone for like seventy bucks.
When you have seventy bucks, get up or don't trade
in your old phone and keep it. Get whatever. Listen,
I'm just giving advice I'm not telling you throw a
sweet sixteen party for six figures. I'm just telling you
to get a back up exactly. By the way, the
Morning Show is on vacation all next week, but I
think I'm gonna stay in town. I'm not planning anything big.
Oh that's nice. So I think it's tired of going
