Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Firms represents show. I don't know. Everyone in this room
is acting drunk. Friday. Is it Friday? We've got a
big celebratory weekend with the super Bowl, and uh, I

(00:23):
am going to stay up late and watch Jimmy Fallon.
I enjoyed him on our show so much today I
want to support him and everything he does. I know
he was amazing. You really we're here for the fifteen
minute morning show podcast. Dave Brody, Hello, the first half
of the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Half the other half. I
don't know. They're having a fight. We can't get into
it anyway, And Danielle is here straight and Nate already

(00:44):
has a problem he needs for us to solve. Man
anywhere drops behind the next fourteen minutes. Welcome. Well, we
just we just voice our grievances right now. I know
that's kind of negative, but minute grievance right fast, fast.
So I went to a hotel over the weekend. What's
the name of the hotel? Sleep in? I'll call him out. Okay,

(01:06):
why are you staying to sleep in? Because it was
busy up there and he is the only place I
could get last second. So you went to the sleep in.
I was there literally to sleep. I checked in at
twelve thirty and then I left the next morning at
the motel six, they were booked up. Actually, wow, So
you were to the sleep in and you did as
the name suggested. I slept, I got up, slept, soured,

(01:26):
and I left, and I know with my girlfriend. So
then I check my credit card statement and they charged
me for the room. Was expecting that, and then a
two charge. What the hell is this? So I called
him up and the guys I hang on one second.
I hear him typing. He was, Oh, yes, you were
smoking in the room. I don't smoke. You know what

(01:49):
evidence you have? All that was happening. But no, I said,
what evidence you have? There were ashes on the counter,
the room was filthy. What do you want from me?
I know that you don't smoke. I don't. Did you
shower in the morning. Do you think maybe your girlfriend's
like snuck a quick smoke? Doesn't I'm trust man, I've

(02:12):
been living with her for six months. He does not smoke. Okay,
So they charged you, and a lot of hotels will
do this. They are non smoking rooms and they will
charge a fee and they tell you clearly up front
if you if you smoke in the rooms, they have
to charge you a cleaning fee. Show me the evidence.
I don't smoke. I know I didn't smoke. So I
have to call back today because the manager that issues

(02:34):
credits was not working less. Okay, well this is he
was out on a smoke break. So this is what
you need to do. You know who we have on
staff to take care of this, and that's Dave brod.
Better get by Dave Brody. He can squeeze blood out
of a turnip. This guy can get money out of
anyone for any reason. So first of all, you need
to read my book when it comes out. Free dessert
even is not even Here's the thing. Even if they

(02:57):
give you back your money, they now you a credit
towards the next day because the aggravation and the time
lost in calling them, because you know when you call
what's gonna happen. Your call is very important to us.
Our operators are busy right now. Please hold will be
with you momentarily. Twenty five minutes of your life is
gone waiting to speak to them, to yell at them.
Then they're gonna you're gonna have to get a supervisor.
Because the first guy wins is the phone is reading

(03:18):
off a flow chart and he only knows what to
tell you what says on the sheet. So to this,
you need your two hundred dollars back number one, and
the story I would start with, here's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna refund my two hundred dollars. I don't smoke.
My father died of cancer. I'm offended by it. His
father didn't die of cancer. That doesn't matter. The guy
in the Philippines wins is the phone isn't gonna know that,

(03:39):
all right, all right, and it's offensive. No one in
your family has ever smoked. Because since your dad passed away,
and they do, they need to credit you and uh
a credit back to your AMEX of a little more money,
because you'll never stay in that hotel again. What I
would do is see if they have other holdings, like
an upscale version, like sometimes like Hilton has them, like
Marriott has the Courtyard, but they'll say the regular Marriott.

(04:01):
See if there's an upgrade, you can get to a
better division of their company. All right, now, So this
is why Brodie gets We called it free dessert a question,
what is the biggest thing you've ever gotten after you've
you know, bitched at some for something. Um, I've gotten
like five hundred dollars off a TV set, Uh, three dishwasher.

(04:23):
I just got this this big stuff. These are like
every day expensive so Black Friday, I got two fifty
dollars off an iPad. Really, yeah, I don't want to
play a game of top that, but I'm about to
top that. Well, I got a start off higher. I
got a new car. Okay, I bought a car. This
was back in the two thousand's, early two thousand's, and uh,

(04:45):
it was the first year that model came out, all right,
and it was in the shop every three weeks. There
was something wrong with the capacity or not, I don't know.
So finally, six months in the manager calls and I said,
I gotta have you gotta send your toe truck to
take this fucking are in. And the manager calls and says,
we're giving you a new one. And I said, well,
I have a lease. He says, don't worry about it.

(05:06):
We'll just well it'll be the same lease, new car.
Just it's so they were okay, they said this to me.
They were gonna take the lemon car back and they
and I said, what are you gonna do with it?
They said, we destroyed them because it's we can't resell it.
It wasn't. Four months later I received a call from
someone who bought that car from a used car dealer

(05:27):
and for some reason, my number was written on a
piece of paper in the in the glove compartment and
they wanted They wanted my information because they want me
to help them soothe them for selling him the same car.
But I did. I got a new car out of it. Well,
my friend Jeff did did the same thing. We bought
two similar cars. And he had a problem with his
car and I had a problem with mine. I got
my car company to give me sixteen hundred dollars for

(05:48):
the upgraded spoiler. I just got that done for six
They paid for it for free. He was going to
threaten a Lemon law on his car and if they
lemon the car out, they have to destroy it. Well
they didn't. Well they're supposed to it. They lose the
full value of the car. So they gave him nine
thousand dollars for his for the problems for his car.
They fixed the problem, told him to keep the car

(06:09):
and they took his lease off to I taught him, well,
he outdid me on the same I only got What
about you, Danielle, do you ever get free? Free Desserty,
here's my problem. And maybe you agree with with me, Danielle.
I don't. I don't always complain about stuff when I should.
I don't like to bit and I don't. I like
I'm the gut person who was Oh it doesn't fit,
I just keep I'm still mad. I'm still mad at Danielle.

(06:30):
I want to say two thousand five because I remember
where we were working, which building, around two thousand five,
two thousand and six, we went to UNO's for lunch
outside of our old office and she ordered something without
onions and it came with onions, and I said, well,
you should return it. I can't. I can't return it.
Remember that, And I said, I'll speak for you and
I'll get you. You know your food, man, I'll just

(06:51):
eat it. I can't sleep at night because thirteen years
ago she ate the food with onions. There's an injustice
in the world and you will not deal to me. Okay,
Well here's where we're wrong. Then we need to allow
not even we shouldn't first of all, allow Brody to
call him bitch exactly. I have learned in the restaurant

(07:12):
seen anyway, from friends who own restaurants, they would rather
you say politely, hey this is too cold, or hey
I can eat onions, or hey, they would rather make
it right because they want you to come back. Most
of their money is made by return visitors, so you
should have said something. I always say something. And if
you open have a bottle of wine open, and you
taste it and it tastes wrong, return it. They can

(07:35):
return it to the distributor and get their money back.
I didn't know that. Yeah, so yeah, I've learned the lesson. Okay,
well next time, Brody, I'm calling you. By the way,
I registered on go Daddy because I saw the super
Bowl commercial they're gonna have one. I registered better get
Brodie dot com. I like that. I didn't realize that either.
The whole wine tasting thing. I thought when you ordered

(07:56):
the bottle of wine and they open it and they
give you that little thing to taste, I never realized
you could actually say no, I don't like it. That's
the whole point. I never realized that. So I finally
learned that, and I was out to dinner with somebody
and they try it and they said they didn't really
care for it. After we had started drinking, I'm like,
why don't you say that when you tasted it right?
Because I had just learned that and they didn't realize

(08:17):
it either. Well, there's a difference. There's a difference between
not caring for it and if the bottle is bad.
I mean, you can taste it's gone to vinegar. You
can taste if a bottle is corked, as they call it,
that that's a replaceable bottle. But if you just don't
care for the taste, but it actually tastes like it
always does, I think you shouldn't. The last time we
went to dinner crazy, seven or eight bottles in a row,

(08:38):
something was wrong with them. By the end, I was
so drunk I didn't care. Let me taste. I got
it tastes like shitt Yeah, So you know we need
to get over this. You know, the thing that we're
not the customer. We are the customer for some reason,
we feel guilty like we work for them. But I

(08:59):
always feel like I hate you're the nicest person. I
hate making a big deal you hate making a big
deal out of everything. My big thing with Danielle is
she she's too nice. It's very sweet. No, you are
too nice. Fault to a fault, because there are sometimes
when I know you should say no because you either
have too much stuff going on you're doing, and I
literally look at you and say, just say no. You

(09:20):
can sit, you can say no one. I always feel
if I can do, I do, But no. Then see
here's the thing. You kind of suffer. You suffer, and
then I suffer too because then you bitch and moan
to me about it. Yeah, and I've said this a
million times. There is some something so powerful about the
ability to say the word no. I agree with that.

(09:43):
And you know it's taken me many years to finally
people think of an asshole. But I don't care. I
don't care. I'm you think a little less about how
people feel about you and just worry about yourself. Can
you come over to my house this weekend? Help you
paint the garage? Have a very busy weekend. I can't
anything otherwise you'd be there. What you saying the word no?
I love it, I love it. Asked me to do

(10:04):
something for you. Nate Elvis. Can I borrow your truck
this week? No, and I'll tell you why. I've lent
you my truck three times now, and you always bring
it back without gas and it's filthy. Okay. The second
time I did return it washed without gas, but this
last time I came in through the Lincoln Tel. There's

(10:25):
no gascuse the excuse when he returned it the third time?
Weren't there cigarette ashes in your truck? I want to
if they if they found ashes on the table, they
didn't clean the room the first time. So batt on
that and back to your truck. Can I borrow it again?
Because I really want to do it? No, I'm not.
I'm not. I think I think it's a bad idea

(10:46):
I want to do. I think for insurance reasons. It's
a pain and they have to get out of my garage.
It's a pain in my gass. No, go rent, Go
rent a truck. You make great money. Seriously, I just
want to do you right and watch it fill it
with gas. You want, Where are you going this week?
I'm not going anywhere. I'm gonna literally take his trucks.

(11:06):
That's the third time you've used literally in the past.
Eleven minutes. If you want to borrow his truck, they
have to move his car out of the way. No,
I'm gonna say no, I'm not going to lend you
my truck anymore. No, listen, I'm not using it for
any purpose of my own doing money. Why don't you
buy yourself a car. I don't need a car. I
need a car three times a year. When you're gonna

(11:29):
you're gonna run one. What you're saying is you're gonna
you want to borrow my car to do me right.
I want to what you're saying, I don't want to
borrow your car to wash it, vacuum it, and fill
it with gas. That's what I want to do. It
will take me three out. It would be more convenient
for me just to leave it in the garage and
I'll take it. That one I need to know. I'll
call the guy. No, you're not. I tipped him very

(11:50):
well last time. You just give me your car. Just
give me handy. It's kind of easier than this conversation.
I know this conversation. It's boring. I don't believe I'm
trying to do you so something nice for you. But
here's another thing. Do you have Do you have a
friend who wants to do something nice for you, but
it turns out to be a pain the ass. It'd
be easier and nicer for me if you just didn't
do it. You get him a gift card to sleep

(12:11):
in a cigarette with a smoking room sleep in you
can go to Nash Wednesday. So are you going to
call them back today? Do you do you now have
after this conversation with Brodie, do you have like the
here's the thing. I know what to say, but you

(12:33):
kind of have to psych yourself up for it. Brodie
is so good at that. Pipe it up if you
have to see, here's how how you can get away
with it without having to psych yourself up. Just know
you're in the right, they're in the wrong. Yeah. I
wasn't going to call you to complain about the dirty room,
but now that you're billing me for your dirty room,
I would like a refund because you put me in
a dirty room and charge me full price. You can't

(12:57):
say okay, Brodie, okay. Question what if they say, well, sorry, sir,
our evidence shows you clearly smoked in the room, and
we have an end of discussion. The number one there's
a corporate office. There's somebody above them that does not
want that kind of heat. Second of all, I have
if you have to mention social media, they do not
want you to rip them on social media. Hey tell
them you're on a radio show that I already talked

(13:20):
about your crappy room, you know, but don't see don't
