What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firms show? You know, one of the most popular fifteen
minute morning shows. We've ever done this when we went

(01:25):
through our phones and went and read all of Great
Teeth texts. So I got one yesterday and it wasn't
a long one, but Great Tea seems to fancy himself
quite the day trader. So he had been mentioning Netflix
earlier in the day and how the CEO was stepping
down and how it spelled out the doom for Netflix

(01:46):
trouble going down. Okay, I just want to say I
will let you continue. I just want to say, for
the record, no one in the room gave me a
minute to explain why. It wasn't just because of the
CEO that was the that was the nail in the coffin.
It's CFO actually, So don't doubt me. Wouldn't Netflix CFO
stepping down means for the company's right And I just
I think I actually admire this. I think t maybe

(02:09):
you have good instincts. Maybe you should actually remember that
time Elvis said, hey, just start a new job. Do
something in the back during the show that you're working
for you. If you became a day trader, I think
you do pretty well. Yeah, well listen, I would like
to do it. I think there's no way I can
possibly pass my series seven. So because I'm not gonna
go back to school, I'm not doing that all the
time that I'm never gonna become a day trader. I
can do it on my own through like you know, Equifax,

(02:31):
or like you know, e Harmon or something, but Harmon, no,
I'm sorry, I mean like the trade. I mean sorry.
If I see a stock I like, I swipe right.
He is a fantasy football trader. I heard all about that.

(02:52):
So I don't know if you guys have some text
from t that you want to share, but I did
really enjoy that. I have one that I can't quite share. Wait,
you guys look for your your attacks. Let me just
explain my reasoning about Netflix. Okay, real quick, So you
guys look for your text in the meantime. The reason why,
so what I said about Netflix was this, So right now,
Disney is getting ready to come out with their streaming

(03:12):
services next year. Disney has already this, already put on
a statement their very last Disney movie that they're giving
Netflix is aunt Man and the Wasp, the new one
that the new movie they're working on right now, this
capin America thing that is not going to Netflix, that
will be going to the Disney slash Marvel streaming service. Actually,

(03:33):
I may agree with you there because did you know
that now that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm and Marvel, that's
the own of of the movies. That's of the movies
that come out in cinema. So basically, what is that
two out of five movies are Disney movies. That's correct.
So they're making a ton of money, So thank you
very much for that. Secondly, d C Comics is now

(03:56):
putting out a streaming service. They are going to be
streaming all of the man, all of them, all their
all their movies from d C are gonna be streamed
down there. They're not gonna be streaming. It's a good list.
So what streaming services do you guys have? I have
Amazon Prime and I have Netflix, right, I also have
CBS and Hulu. I don't have Hulu, I got rid
of who gets Trek? I got CBS. Why did I

(04:18):
get it? I think it was for football? Actually last year, no,
was it something? And I just for whatever reason, I'm
still paying the month, but I can't. I can't even
watch all of those like Amazon Prime. That's like the
red headed stepchild. And I know we're not supposed to
say that, but it's like the red headed stepchild of
streaming services. I never go on that. I have it.

(04:39):
What what everybody really wanted was to be able to
purchase their television ala carte, because no one is happy
with paying their cable provider. They feel the cable fees
are so expensive. Okay, well, betwo TV, that's you ever
heard of? You'll beware it'll buy or beware No, be
aware of what you ask for. What's the saying looking for?
I think it'd be aware for what you asked for,
because care for what you wish for, because you wish

(05:01):
for right. Because what's happening is is that it's gonna
go all the cart It's gonna be all these streaming
services and you're not gonna be able to keep up,
and it's gonna cost you more money. This is us yes,
your favorite show. And if that all of a sudden
went to streaming and they said, hey, yeah, you can
watch it, but it's a dollar. I would do that
because right now I'm okay with paying just for that one,

(05:24):
that one show, but where does it end? And that
will not be the only one. Other shows will say, oh, well,
if they did it, we can do it, And before
you know it, it'll be like like iTunes, where all
of a sudden you want all your all your songs.
You're gonna want all your TV shows and you're gonna
be downloading all for a dollar ninety nine each. Eventually
you're gonna be like, oh my god, I just spent
seventy dollars last month because I wanted to buy all

(05:44):
these different TV shows. I watched too much TV, and
I can't worry about well, I didn't subscribe to that show,
but then this a special episode I want to watch,
but it's not a show I pay for it. I
gotta pay for it. I just pay the bill man.
That's what I have a job. It's a cost first
value at this I like it all. I liked I
have direct T give me all the channels they want
to watch whatever I want what I want to watch it.
They want you to think like that. They do. They

(06:06):
don't want you to see the bills. They the companies
don't want you to see the bill because they know
if you start to itemize everything you see really what
you're paying for, You're gonna know what the hell am
I doing? Because Brody, I'm not saying, I'm not knocking you,
but okay, so you have all the channels, all of them, Okay,
it's fine. And how many you have, all your DVRs
and all your correct So think about what your cable

(06:26):
bill is per month. That's as much as somebody's paying
for a high end car, all right, scar He goes
out and drinks every night. I don't drink. I spend
it on TV. So it all evens out, it depends,
It all evens out what your paycheck is. Not everybody
can afford. It's crazy that I don't have one streaming service.
You're barely home? You really don't that crazy? I'm never home,

(06:47):
don't I don't need vegetables. I wouldn't say it's crazy.
I have no broccoli in life. Because most people, most
people cannot relate to not having not one streaming service
someone has. Everyone has Netflix, don't you don't have somebody password?
That you mean I kind of I could access a
password if I need to. Yeah, I have a couple
of passwords. Actually, you have my brother and Mike if
I need to. Hey man, you're gonna help me out here.

(07:12):
That's that's a that's that's a cost, that's would be
incurred to me that I would be a waste. Yeah.
I think more people are doing it though, And actually,
you bring up a great point is that if Disney
does come out with it, I'm gonna have to get
that because they own they got everything everything. And but no,
it's not like an if it's it is happening, it's
already see again. No, I follow squawk Box, which is
on CNBC Cramer's Mad Money, So I also follow several

(07:34):
other sites like market Watch, I follow some other things.
So when you read about all these things and you
find out, like this is Insider, it's already been out.
It's already been announced that Disney is coming out with
a little behind the scenes. If you're listening to the
live show and you never hear Great Tea on the
last hour at least from like nine to nine thirty
East Coast time. It's because he's watching Squawk. That bell rings.

(07:56):
I'm on it, dude, I want to see it, thinking
about TV show. But let's right now. The market is
doing really really bad right now. Thank you Amazon read today,
alread alread already. Okay, well, let's go back to Gregg's text.
Who wants I don't have a text, but I did
notice Gregg t do something to his voicemail over the

(08:18):
last two weeks. So if you ever called Greg t Ye,
call it right now. No, no, Scary, we'll call it.
Greg t would have this upbeat voicemail, you would leave
a voicemail. Obviously he would return it whatever. Recently I
noticed his tone changed. It's sad. There's a reason for it.
Don't answer your phone, Tim calling it that piece of ship. Well,

(08:47):
while he's figuring that out, the reason why and the
reason why, and me and Garrett talked about this. He
brings this up now after I told him why. How
many of you in this room, Brody, Sam, Nate, Scary, Garrett,
how many do you people leave messages on people's self off?
Never never anymore because they see the miscall and I
know it's from me right here, I don't listen to voicemail.

(09:12):
I don't either a voicemail? How do even do you
see when someone left you one? Let me let it wait,
it's gonna go like five minutes. I like my tongues.
By the way, Scary leaves me voicemail every week, and
do you listen to it? Yes? What is wrong? This
is what Scary does. Hey man, it's me. You call me,
call me on my house phones. Don't come on my
cell phone, come out house phone. I don't leave detailed message,

(09:33):
but he calls me from his self. Thanks for calling
the message calling back? That feels like you're depressed. But
what else where did you record that? While you're telling
people leave a message if you don't want them to
leave a message. That's my point that what else do
you say on a pila? It's two eighteen? You know
you do on a voicemail you let the computer that
say your call has been answered by an automatic voice message.

(09:56):
You know what I think about that? People don't know
if they called the right numbers. They do, you know,
because you don't want your voice. You don't want to
confirm that it's you. I do I want people to
call me if you have people that might be saying,
is that David Brodie. Whatever the case, and some someone
gets your phone number, all you gotta do is just
let it go. With my doctor's office or living in
the you guys living in the past. You are a

(10:17):
household body needs, nobody needs. You'll make the voice on
your household in the past. There's nobody that actually has
their voice on their voice. You have a VHS, that's
what dream. In fact, I have friends that doesn't even
have voicemail boxes out. You don't have Netflix, you don't
get to tell you about my voicemail. I leave the

(10:39):
box full so you can't leave a message. That's fine,
but why are you This isn't a sleeping the nation
thing now it doesn't. It works for its voicemail. Somebody
nobody puts their voice on their voicemail. You know what,
I see both sides of it in a more common way. UM,
I see it about you would be the voice of reason.

(10:59):
I see, I see. I see a serious side of
things that you know what I never thought about. Just
go letting it go? Do the computer? I kind of
when I call people and I do hear the computer,
I do wonder did I really get the right person
I signed. I kind of think I see Brodie side
of things too on this one. But it's on automat.
You have the person in your phone. Sometimes I call
a plumber and he calls me back. I'm not in

(11:21):
his dot and on his address book, so I want
him to know you got the guy you wanted. This
is sounding awfully like the Brooklyn Voice podcast right now.
You never listen to the Voice podcast. What happens? You
guys screaming, and that's what I hear all the time. Okay,
then you haven't listened to the podcast. I haven't. Let
me confirmed this. I have a landline because my phone
phone service sucks in my in my apartment, so I
need a landline. I understand what what why? Almost gets

(11:44):
angry because, you know what, nobody gets a chance to
speak around here. You know, all we're trying to do
is figure out who leaves a voicemail and why do
we have voicemail anymore? I think the majority of the
people that have cell phones either a have a voicemail
box that hasn't been set up, forcing people to you know,
to just have a miscall be have a voicemall backs
that's full, so they don't so they can't leave a

(12:04):
message or see have the computer do it. Here's the
number you've reached. You've reached nine seven, blah blah blah blah.
Leave a message, let's ask Sandwich. She thinks, Sam, what
do you think? I really don't I the passion in
this room is really baffling to me. You don't want it, scary,
you don't have it. If you need to change our
cancel disappointment. That's one CPSC and g left me a
voice and it works for Brodie, So who the hell care?

(12:25):
Is scary? Let him do it? Political thing? It's actually
driving silly as we speak to call back when you
have a chance. I don't leave any details. Why did
you try to Philly? Who left a voicemail? So do
you you listen to that? Right? You just but do

(12:47):
you just see the miss calling? Like? Scary? Right? Yeah?
But something to call on and go? What do you want?
He'll go nothing. It's rather to waste a call. I know.
He's just driving pius for me. If someone left a voicemail,
even if I don't said, I know, I have to
call them back immediately, Like if I have a misscall
from someone and they didn't think to leave anything. I
might not think it's a big deal, like I assume
it's not. If you have two miscalls from my mom

(13:08):
and a voicemail like crap. Brodie's the guy that leaves
a voicemail and you call him back and you go, hey,
what's up? He goes, I told you everything, breath and
hang off. You want to email him about everything? Email everything.
My favorite response is when you have an important email
and you send to Brodie and you didn't hear response,

(13:29):
and you go, did you have my email? Smartass goes,
Email works works, but did you see it? That's a
different question under it's implied. Okay, I have a friend
Billy used to leave me voicemails and you go, hey, man,
I got something really important to you, and that's it. Okay,
leave it in the voicemail. If you see a misscall
from me, just call me back. No, I'm not calling
you back to say so much. I will do that
because you hate voicemail. Somebody have any text messages? Thank you? T?

(13:53):
Does anybody have any text messages from great T? I
don't go, but I'll tell you what he just said.
Bueloks emails. I'll email him and I'll say, do me
a favor, end me that link, and he'll text it
to me. Because it's on your phone, it's right there
in front. Just think it's right there. And an email,
you gotta open it up here? Is this okay to me?
An email? Because I'm on my computer and I wanted
on my computer. Some of us work for the show

(14:20):
on their computers every fucking night, like I do. So
I want an email. Who takes home leftovers? This's the problem,
Brodie's got. I did not for this show. Stupid, this podcast,
we're gonned to talk about text messages that I had.
You don't even laughed at me because I bought a
brand new home computer a couple of months ago, and

(14:42):
most of those people laugh that you can't afford the
expensive computer you bought. Who cares what? People for that
you want to you're kind of afford it. You're at
a point in your life where you shouldn't give a
ship what people think. Oh you brought a computer, Yes
I did, fuck you, that should be you're outitude. I
don't think I've ever agreed with anything Bertie said more
than that's yeah, actually preach oh the house, Yes I do.

(15:03):
I actually need a new computer. I'm gonna go buy
a new one. I live your best life. You don't
want to leave a voicemail computer. Do a lot of
editing on my computer. I need to see the whole.
You need to spend a dour and a half putting
fantasy football videos together. My best life is leaving my
voicemail box jam so you can't leave a fucking message
on it. And you have to fucking just you leave

(15:23):
me voicemails, need boxes and get a drink. I can
go with you, double cross. I'm in a much better
place now with my medicine. At least to leave you
a message if the voicemail box is not full. But
I don't want any messages of yours again. I you know,
Nate was just wondering, has anybody does anybody have any texts?

(15:44):
Shouldn't your outgoing message be alright? Alrightly? The crossover episode
is its Brooklyn Boys. We're all yelling, but as soon
as it's me, do you a favorite Brooklyn Boys with
brody and scary coup Next we record tomorrow. I'm so kind,
