Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast show,
Everyone's screaming matter? Okay, what did Scary just do during
the intro of our show. I have these Mary's crackers,
(00:24):
which are really good for you. They're kind of expensive
and they're delicious, and I had them for my snack today,
and Scary is like, can I have some of your crackers?
And so I hand in the box. He shoves his
paw into the bag and hand jams just the tip.
I did not put my entire for the tip has
just crumbs on your elbow. You're you're scary. You know
(00:45):
you're supposed to shake the box until the crackers come out.
Not tell you, Bethany, I swear I just bought these
at home. I'm going in an open box. I'm going
to give you a box tomorrow of Mary's gun crackers.
I owe you a box, he said to me. Now though,
all right, well, you know, by the way, his promises
are empty, because remember the remember the time, remember the
(01:05):
time he stole my uh my, uh my toaster of
him he brought it back like four months later. I'm
waiting four years for a steak dinner, he promised me.
Just want to bring that up again. Wait, let's go
back to that Brody from one situation. Is this coming
from he owed you a steak dinner? Okay, if we
(01:26):
we We had this argument on the Brooklyn Boys podcast
last week. Scary now thinks he can buy me a lunch,
a steak lunch. He thinks that's the equivalent. I said,
a dinner is much more elegant and fancy, and you
promised to be at dinner. I'm not going off a
lunch where you get me some with free salad and
soup because it's lunchtime. But wait, why does he owe
you a dinner or a lunch? There was a time
(01:50):
when everyone on the show needed a leader to step up,
and being one of the executive producers, I stepped up
because everyone asked me to do it, and I did it,
and everyone was rewarded nicely for me doing that, and
I was rewarded unnicely eventually, and it was not a
good thing for me, and they promised me a steak didn't.
This is way too vague. I don't we want to
(02:11):
know what happened. It just resulted in Brody getting his
head cut off, but everyone else got a good situation.
He stuck his neck out in a monetary situation on
behalf of the show. For what involved involved management and bonuses.
(02:31):
That's all you say. And I don't know about this, Gosh,
I should know more. But everyone got what they had
coming to them, and I got shipped as the person
who stood up and said, hey, everybody wants this, because
it looked like it was me saying it. But everybody
asked me as the spokespersons to thank you. He and
Greg T said you up, brody, We're gonna buy you
a steak dinner. Okay, well then you know, okay, whatever
(02:51):
happened happened. But I really truly think you guys owing
more than a steak dinner. Well here's the thing, but
how much cash? We're talking about hundreds thousands? Oh my god,
this is like a steak banquet. You brody, They owe
you a cow of grilled meat. I was trying to
be well, that's all they offered me, so I said
(03:12):
that's fine, and Greg T then reneged on the deal
and he never bought him anything, but to continue to
this day tell him I owe you a great stea
because I said, listen, I don't mind paying the same price,
but let's do it at lunchtime. The reason why the
dinner doesn't get done is because we're all at home
at night. Let's go watch it at noon. I know,
but don't you think it's worth the effort after what
(03:34):
he did for you? It sounds like it was very, very,
very deep. And man I said, if he had an
anniversary with Rob and his girlfriend, if they were like that,
he wouldn't go let's go to lunch. He would take
it to a nice dinner. But Michael, my question is,
what's the difference between dinner and lunch if you're paying
everything price everything? Well, first of all, typically you don't
pay the same price if you go to a fancy,
fancy steakhouse like Delmonico's. I do believe, if I'm not wrong,
(03:58):
I do believe it's more expensive at dinner. Yeah, I
think important. The portion sizes are different. I don't know.
You better need you know. I'm looking it up right now.
But I and Sup at lunch. He knows a lot
about state count. Brody was trying to make the case
that we'll wait a second, there's not as much atmosphere
at lunch as there is dis r. Dinner is more specially,
(04:18):
I think dinner, and let we all agree dinner is
more more of a celebratory meal than lunch. Period. Yeah yeah,
and parent that I don't want to spend the time
with you, Brody, but we would never even get this
dinner done if it's going to be after six seven
o'clock at night. But dinner takes more effort on your
part too, because you have to clear your schedule, you
have to get out of your house, you have to go.
Like lunch, you can just leave from here and go
to a quick lunch that time. We've gone to baseball
(04:39):
games together a ton of times we spend we should
we take a vote all in favor of Scary taking
Brody to dinner over lunch, say I thank you? Opposed,
I so carried? What other problems do we have on
the morning show? This is easy? This is working really well.
Vera could have had a podcast four years ago this
this How long did this happen? Because this happened before
I got here six years ago, five and a half
(05:03):
years ago. I think I know what it is now, Oh,
yes you do. On that topic, it was not my idea.
That's all all right, So what's next? What other problem
needs solving? All right here we go. It's a challenge.
But I was on the phone with a friend of
mine on his cell phone called him. He happened to
(05:24):
be home. By the way. Thank you, scary for turning
off your microphone while you chew the Mary's crackers. I
was on the phone with a friend and his house
phone rang, and he went and Nancy said, hold on,
let me get the house phone. He could be nobody
calls me. Maybe it's important. And while he was on
the phone, he found out that his uncle passed away,
and so he got back on the phone. I heard
him say, oh, that's terrible. He got very upset in
(05:44):
the background, got back on the phone with me, and
he's really kind of emotional, and he's like my uncle.
And then after like thirty seconds, he's, you know, now
that they think about it, my uncle has a car.
You wanted a car for your daughter, right, I could
probably get the car for you. And when in thirty
seconds he had switched from my uncle died to what
does he have that we can take? So I said,
(06:07):
I said, let's not worry about the car. He goes, no, no, no,
the car he probably you know what come to think
if it he has some couches I'd probably like. And
so he started going through the list of what the
uncle uncle had that and they got him over it.
So number one, is it too what? Is it too
soon to start? But but is it okay if it
helps you get over the emotion of it that he died,
he didn't die in vain. Well, I will tell you
(06:28):
why we think about the answer for this. I know
for a fact, when it comes to death and money
or or things that are inherited, people lose their mind.
They go yeah, I mean there's even the most wonderful,
down to earth people that you know will sometimes lose
it when someone dies and they have to figure out
who gets what, and it's it causes some families to
(06:52):
split apart and never speak again. You know. That's when
when my parents died, my brothers we didn't have a
problem with what who got because I just said, I
don't want anything. There was one thing I wanted and
I got it, and that was it. My brothers had
access to everything, and I don't even think there would
have been a fight, but I just wanted to stay
out of that road in case there was a speeding bus.
I know somebody actually this was a recent issue. I
(07:14):
know somebody who um she and some family members are
not the closest in the world, and so she had
to go to lawyers and say, in the death of
you know this person, this relative, I need to make
sure that I'm protected, and we need to like have
this person laid down everything in writing so that I
am protected and everyone else is protected. It's a shame.
(07:34):
But if you see it coming, wait is sad. But
if you if you know, there could be a problem.
Now here's the thing, and this is why this is
such an uncomfortable conversation. Leaving a will, filing a will.
Even if you're twenty years old and you have something
anything that's worth anything, you should have a will. But
people don't like to talk about it because that that's
(07:55):
admitting that you may die one back. The problem is
is if you God forbid something happens you, the people
who are surviving you are gonna have a problem. So
nice to get it taken care of and don't worry
about it. I'm I'm taking care of I'm done. We
just went through this in my family about six months ago.
It was very, very like traumatic. It was so bizarre.
My my brother, my sister and I went to my
(08:16):
parents house. We had a lawyer there, and my parents like,
we have to do this. And we had been putting
it off for years because my sister and I didn't
want to have anything to do with I don't want
to sign a way because I'm putting my name on
on a piece of paper saying that, oh, by the way,
your your parents are gonna die and you're gonna take this.
And she gets that, and I don't want to have
(08:36):
that conversation. It was so okay, do you want to
have the conversation now or after the facts are high?
It's gonna happen eventually. Yeah, exactly, emotions are high. Did
you get the first pick in the draft? There was
a second? It was everything was signed, there was no picking.
Well what did you want? I don't want anything? No, no, no, no,
it was it was actually laid out on paper. Hey
(08:59):
you get this, you get that? But what have you got?
The rare? But you really wanted the coat? Rap? The
three of you split that. I don't care. Wanta do
you have a lot of coats? And half? Grandfather left
me a really nice coat. Rap? Who wants a rocking chair?
I got my grandfather's rocking chair. Oh my god, do
you know your house is haunted? That is the first
side of a haunted house for swingeliers. Can I tell you?
(09:20):
My friend at the funeral two days later went up
to his aunt and it's like, hey, listen, I know
a guy wants to call. Okay, it's gonna happen, So
I'm getting the car. That's really good story. Okay, but
it is good take care of it before while everyone
is healthy and running around and feeling good. That's when
you need to file your will. I mean, do you, Danielle,
you and you in your husband? You ever your will's filed?
I don't think so you need to get it done now?
(09:41):
We do? We all we keep talking about it and
then we like, you know, we have certain things done,
but certain things we don't have. My mom thinks it's
funny though. She's like, wait, do you see this ship
You're gonna have to clean out of my house? When
I go, I go, okay, well that's an uncomfortable that.
I go, Mom, why don't you start cleaning it out now?
And like, why do you have to leave me ship
to clean up? And she says to me, because that's funny.
(10:04):
She's like, why am I going to clean it up?
Because when when we go, you'll have to go in
there and figure it out. I can hear your mom
saying that terrible. I don't want to think of her
going because I'm an only child. I get it all.
I gotta clean up all of it, but I get
it all there. You do you have to do it
with a lawyer or can you just like right out
and then have it. You can file it yourself, but
(10:25):
I suggest you get a lawyer. There are programs you
can use that that that that will customize to your
state and the states laws and this and that. But
I would say, go higher a lawyer who knows what
they're doing and have them file it, and then you
don't have to worry about it ever again until your
kids piss you off. You want to leave it to
someone else. Harry and Bethany, you guys have said you're
probably never gonna have kids, right, Who are you going
(10:47):
to leave your stuff to? The first time I had
to think about this is when I opened an I
RA when I was like twenty, and they were like,
who do you want as a beneficiary on your I
R A? And I put my little sister because at
the time she was in college. My older sister was
out of college, had at the time, I think, fiance
or whatever and a good job. So I wanted to
make sure my younger sister was taken care of what
(11:09):
I will leave everything to my two sisters and their families.
Right now, I just have my nephew, Lucas, and everything's
going to him because I don't know, there is no
next of kin anywhere else, do you know, the kids?
So it's done, then, yeah, that's good. And see, it
doesn't mean you're on the dark side. It doesn't mean
(11:29):
you love deaths. It doesn't. It's it's it's paying attention
to things. It's it's you know what it's. It's called adulting,
is what it's called. I mean, you've got to make
adult decisions. But just make the decision and then you
forget about it. I just don't something you're not supposed to.
You're not supposed to leave stuff to people like your
own age. You're supposed to go to the next generation,
is what I was telling. You can do whatever you wanted.
That a woman left it to our cats, Yeah, well
(11:51):
that's stupid. It's not for her. She wants to make
sure her cats are taken care of. You just called
her stupid. No no no no monetary yes, but like you're
not gonna leave like physical things, Well she left like
how much was a Bertie dollars? And make sure she's
just comfortable. Helmsley left her pets like mansions. I'm gonna
leave my dog, my coat rack and the rocking chair
(12:13):
by the way. The flip side of leaving nothing to
your kids because you don't have any, and Daniel may
have had to deal with this, is you have to
figure out who you leave your kids to, Like if
something happens to me and my wife when I was
a whole, that was months long debate because she has
siblings and I don't. I'm like, why do your siblings
get our kids? So they're like, well, I can leave
to your cousins, Like, but the cousins and my It
was a terrible fight. But then you have to start
thinking if I die, who who I want to raise
(12:34):
my kids? Yeah? Because do you trust and loving God?
Like in my in in a Catholic the godparents are
actually supposed to be the ones that step up. Is
that legally recognized? I don't know, but I mean, thankfully.
My sister is one of the godparents. My my brother
is another godparents. I think my my siblings would definitely
step up, and my husband doesn't have siblings, so I
think they would definitely, you know what, they both would
(12:57):
be fine. I think they might give them back after
a little while. But is it an insult? So I
took this as a compliment, but I'm wondering if I
should have taken it as an insult. So my sister,
older sister has two daughters. My younger sister and her
husband don't have any children. I don't have any children,
(13:17):
so my older sister, in their will, they decided that
if Heaven forbid something happens to them, they leave the
children with my younger sister. And I was never even
an option. I took that as a compliment because they
know my lifestyle. But should I have taken it as
an insult that like Aunt Beebie would be the last
first kids. It wasn't on the table. I wouldn't wish
(13:38):
that on a dog. Now, wait a second, what if
somebody just skips skips the kids all together and said,
screw itcent of charity, none of you deserving. No, we're
talking about leaving the actual children. No, I'm just talking
about leaving like money. We're not talking about that. If
you had if you had one sibling with kids and
you're the only other sibling, she would find a stranger
before she gave me the kids, right, think, probably anyone
(14:02):
just just pick up the phone and dollar call it random.
Probably they get the kids, not methan. But going back
to what scary saying, let's say, let's say your mom
and your dad are you know, they've got some money
going on, and they pass away and you sit down
to find out what you get. You get nothing. They
left at all to a very worthy cause. But it
wasn't you. Yeah, but they're gone, so there's really no
one to argue with. Right, But how would you That's
(14:24):
what this Aaron Spelling did, right, he left almost nothing
to Tory Spelling and that's the truth most of it
to his wife. Kind of a mixed mixed emotion right there,
I guess. I mean, you'd have to be proud of
your parents, right, But yeah, if you if you, if
you come out saying damn it, those motherfucker's, then you're
like an asshole. Yeah, you know you were an asshole
(14:47):
to your parents, then you shouldn't get shipped. Quote Lette.
If you're an asshole to your parents, you shouldn't get shipped.
