(01:05):
on your on your podcast Presents Morning Show. That that's
the sound of summer. It's the sound of relaxation. Yeah,
that's the sound of people dicking off summer Mondays. Right,
(01:30):
That's how I'm feeling. I feel like everybody's got senioritis.
Everybody's like people are half checked in from the beach.
The people just left for the day, especially on a Monday. Yeah.
I always thought that in the summertime we should always
do Mondays and Friday's off because Wednesdays. I'm willing to
work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. But the book, you know, in
(01:53):
the summer, because because you know, you don't want your
Sundays to end. Sundays, Fundays they roll into like Mondays.
So you mim as you take Monday off, and then
you want to get the weekend started early on Friday.
Plus coming back from the shore or something, I don't
want to hit that traffic. So if you give me
on Monday, I'm much better coming home on a Monday.
I really yeah, I'll be refreshed for Tuesday. By the way,
(02:13):
the fifteen minute morning show Scary is here. Danielle Brody. Hello,
I'm Bethany. We rarely take a day off. All of
us the listeners would beg to differ with that one scary.
Um Brodie, I know that, uh, you had an issue
because you were looking for help or something. Yeah. A
(02:35):
couple of times I've asked the online community for help. Um.
Facebook has a thing where each town you live in
has its own page, a lot of them. Do you
create your own page? And you you asked for help? So,
for instance, hey need someone to repair a microwave. Who
do you recommend? Okay, sure, okay? And so I asked
someone from mic Wave help Us, said hey, if I
need a mic Wave repaired? And then I also asked
(02:57):
for a gutter cleaning company, yeah, son and and I. Um.
Neither one went well because people don't seem to understand
how to offer help. So I posted about a month
ago micro Wave died need someone to recommend an appliance
or microwave repair company. I got from most people, Yeah,
(03:20):
micro wave is too expensive to repair, Just throw it
out and get into one. That's not what I was
looking for Okay, I put up for a go to company.
Now I've gone through about seven or eight go to
companies that eventually they let me down and I move on.
So I said, I've already used let's just say A,
B C, D, E, and F got A companies. Can
you please recommend someone other than them for that you've
(03:43):
been using for a while. Oh, I would use D
D is great. Oh ask for Mike try E. He
is great. I know the guy Joe. Tell him I,
you know, been using him for years. A is wonderful.
You should use A and I right back again. See
my post I this did. The companies that I've used
don't want to use those again, So I thought I
(04:03):
would save them the time. What could I have done
to make it more easy for these people? Now I'm
thinking to myself, if these people can't read instructions, if
they can't see that I've used A B, C, D, E,
n F, then maybe I shouldn't be asking for your advice. Well,
that's the thing. You're more patient than I am, because
I wouldn't have bothered to write back and say I
(04:24):
already mentioned A B C, D, N E. I would
just have blocked them like I have no patience for that.
I don't either. But here's the thing. I live in
this town, and the people in town don't know me
or where I work. I try to so that's part
of it. If I posted people go oh my god,
it where do you live? I listened to the show,
that's a problem. But second of all, I can't be
rude to be like, hey, stupid, I just told you
(04:46):
I use b C and F like, I don't need
you to the fact that you know Mike from E great,
I know Mike from me. He was terrible. Garrett has
joined us, By the way, hello Garrett. UM. This is
very problematic because when you ask for advice, any advice
on social media, you either get a what you're talking about,
which is the people who don't listen to what you
(05:07):
asked for, or be people who think that this is
a chance to make a really funny joke. So, like,
my friend UM went on Facebook, and she does she's
trying to stop using the word guys to refer to
everybody because she knows that that's like a microaggression and
she wants to find a word that's like less gender specific,
and so she said, like, hey, does anyone know a
(05:27):
good word besides guys, and everyone was like, I like, well,
write like no one, but that would be actual advice.
Everyone else was just like, call him all douche bags
or I like to call him flockers. Like she was
actually giving her any actual proper advice, and I could
tell she was getting really frustrated. I think asking for
advice on social media it's just not going to go out.
(05:50):
I don't want you to tell me you like it.
I don't want you to say no. I want you
to look at the question and respond to the question. Well,
far too many people are just gonna spend that time
trying to convince you why they like. How does it
help me if I ask for a microwave repair company
to tell me, oh, you know what, they're too expensive
to repair. You should just get a new one. That's unhelpful.
(06:11):
I didn't ask you for advice on microwave life. I
asked you for repair company. I don't know it's expensive
to repair. That's why I'm asking for a recommendation for
someone who's cheaper than the person this woman used. Because ultimately,
I don't want to spend fung during the microwave I
spen the microwave that I like already, plus it, they
(06:34):
fix it like a new microwave. The thing is, though
they are they with, they're being helpful in their mind
because they don't give you credit for being smart enough
to realize that microwaves are expensive. I was gonna pay
for something. You know what, there's microwave repair companies will
make a lot of money. They they they're in business
to repair microwaves because people are repairing their microwaves. I
(06:54):
get it. They're giving you advice because in their head
they're like, you know what, let me try and let
me let me put myself in this situation and how
I would handle it. And that's what I ask for.
Because you didn't didn't answer the question. If you want
to say to me, you know what, I've found that
they're usually very expensive and it's easier to replace. However,
(07:16):
here's a company that I love. They fixed my dishwasher.
You call and get a rate for them. I had
one person said, oh my god, this is the best
appliance company New Jersey. They do wonderful work. Call them.
I called them milk. I says to me, I don't
want to fix washers and dryers. I don't fix anything else.
I'll just do washings and drives as well. It's my microwave.
Well I can't help you. I go, oh because Stacy
on Facebook said you were great. Oh yeah, No, I don't.
(07:42):
Yeah there. I feel like there are some basic lessons
that I wish we could all learn, and I'm guilty
of these as well, Like read through the whole question,
answer what they're asking. Read through somebody's caption on social
media before you ask, Like this is the thing on Instagram,
I'll tag the location and then someone will say where
it is? Where was this take that happened to me
(08:03):
last week? Drive me nuts? Or I'll tag what I'm
wearing and then someone will say where did you get
those shoes? And I think people's attention spans are very small, right,
and I think that you look at it so fast
and you don't. It's like with an email and someone
send you an email and you just go and then
all of a sudden you email them back and you
realize ship. But the questions no excuse. On Instagram, every
(08:25):
picture has a caption, so the very first place you
look for is right there in the caption of the time.
The question as Bethany pointed out, will be answered right
there or location. If I'm curious, Like if I'm just
looking at it, i might not read the caption. But
if someone's wearing something that I want to buy, I'm
(08:45):
gonna start. If I'm going to take the time to
ask where it's from, I'm going to stop first and
see if they listed. You're gonna try. You gonna put
your finger on the picture to see if they tagged it. Tap.
I wouldn't do. I think I would be more likely
to ask you and then later on, goh it, there's
the answer, you know, because my mind is like all
over the place. Did you see the picture I posted
with me and Andy Hamburg? No, okay? Samberg. So in
(09:11):
Germany in Epcot two weeks ago we were there. I
met a guy from Germany who looked exactly like Andy
Sandberg and I showed him a picture of Andy Sendberg
and he would, yeah, I don't look I don't know him.
And so I said, you look just like him? Can
we get a picture? And I posted a picture and
I said Andy Sandberg's identical twin from Germany. Andy Hamburg, Hello,
punt met him at Disney World in Germany, right. It
(09:33):
was all there and Disney taken that as he's he's
making a joke, right to which someone I had to
delete the comment. I couldn't. Someone said, oh, where was this?
It's pet peeve, Where was this? Where was this? Hashtag?
Disney hashtag at Disney Parks it was like Disney Disney
(09:55):
dig and then you geo tagged the Disney in the
location right underneath. It doesn't matter the I just feel
like I and I think that, like I enjoy a
good mystery. And so maybe I'm being really hard on
people because I like Googling to find things out. I
like google your friends. Yeah, I like um trying to
trying to figure out if I can discover the answer
(10:16):
to this thing. And so I enjoy that challenge. Yeah.
I like a puzzle. So it so it frustrates me
when I had to tell someone on Twitter the other day,
they were like, what's the new song by Kesha? These
are the lyrics? And I really had to be like, google,
Google it, use the Google machine, Just google it, put
the lyrics in the window, it hit enter, It'll tell
you do it sounds supervis I just think that a lot.
(10:37):
I'm going to be the Devil's Advocate, because I think
that a lot of people just don't have time to
and they're just doing things so quickly. How many times
you not even see what you're looking at and you
hit like, but if you try to type out the
question where is this thing you? It's probably faster for
you to read the CA you. I answer everybody. I
never think about it. I treat I treat Bethany like
(10:58):
Google sometimes because she does know a lot. I make
up what I don't know, so you probably shouldn't trust me.
But if someone that if somebody asks you a question
on their usually I'll just answer it and be like
it was from Abercrombie and whatever. You know what I
mean like, and I just don't even think, like, oh,
I just I tagged them. He has to actually make
a federal case out of it, embarrassed them and be like, no, no,
(11:21):
I didn't embarrass them, because you mean the person in
the Andy Hamburg. I didn't write them back and say
do it's Disney. I useduld just let the comments stay
there and let other people fight your battle. Let other
people pointed out no, because then what happens is people
have their own world on my page and they'll go, oh,
can't you see it's Disney, And then don't you hate
when people don't realize, well, maybe she didn't see, maybe
(11:41):
she should have, And then becomes a whole fight on
your page and your phone's going off alert and nobody's
talking to you about you. Guys have notifications on I
turned those, but I have not one notification. I don't
get that many notifications. So my one Instagram comment a day,
I get excited to look at and reply to them,
except for some reason, I keep getting these notifications that
(12:01):
so and so is live, like so and so is live, yeah,
following before it ends before I don't want to know
if you're live. I think Instagram Live is dumb anyway,
because it just goes away when it's over. Here's the
problem with Instagram Live. Not enough people are doing it.
Like on Periscope, if there was like three hundred people
in the room, you would log on and no one
would know you were there, and you have to bother
with the interacting. But now, because Instagram is people you know,
(12:23):
and you log in you're one of three people, they go, oh, hey, bro,
what's going on? I just click it to see what
you're doing. I don't really care what you gotta go.
I do love it on Instagram when people like when
our listeners get it like it was two years ago
or something. Elvis was talking about how he hates it
when people get into side conversations and his Instagram comments
like people asking where'd you get that rug when the
(12:45):
picture is about his dog. So every once in a while,
I'll have someone comment on a totally random picture, hey
where did you get that rug? And it makes me
really happy because I know it's like that. I love
a good callback. Yeah, I love a good callback. I
love a good inside joke. Yeah. No. Recently, uh, Nate
comes to me like uh, last second before like ten
hours before the next day show and goes, hey, can
(13:06):
you get a chemist on the show? I go, all right,
where do I find it? Jared is the guy who
knows everyone? Yeah? Yeah, So so I I was running
out of options to find chemists, so I took to Instagram,
Facebook and Twitter. The words do you know a chemistry teacher?
Turned into yes, Walter White, the amount of Walter Whites
(13:30):
and everyone from Narcos, and I got a Tony soprano. Uh,
And all I said is I'm looking for a chemistry,
high school chemistry teacher at least to be on our
show tomorrow. And what I got was nothing but sarcasm.
So so thank you. I appreciate Okay, speaking with sarcasm.
You guys, we're all here on the podcast where I
(13:50):
talked about how chick Fili screwed me. Yes, the menu
clearly says on the spicy chicken, lettuce, tomato chicken, right,
I got it, got got on the plane and pickles
on it. They don't list pickles on the and so
my point was first time customer, longtime listener, and uh,
I've never had the sandwich before and never eaten in
(14:11):
Chick fil a before, and if you're gonna list other
ingredients and you putting pickles on right? So I tweeted
at them, and a lot of our followers were very
like a typical broety complaining, which is fine, but a
lot of people are like, who doesn't know they put
pickles on a sandwich? How do you not know? They
don't they put pickles on it? Everyone knows they put it.
Didn't advertise pickles, advertise pickles on on other fast food
(14:34):
restaurants that we will know. Hold on, McDonald's doesn't say cheeseburger,
and then list all the ingredients except one. It just
says cheeseburger. And then if you don't like something, you go, hey,
what's on there? And but if you take the time
to list all the ingredients, you will submits all of them.
My point is, when you're a respont, your question to
me is who doesn't know that? Clearly me, because I
pointed out I didn't know that. For not knowing, I
(14:57):
don't grow up in the South. I don't know Chick
fil A. They just came to the New York, New
Jersey area. I decided to give it a shot, ironically
in an Orlando airport. But I said, you know what,
I'm gonna have a Chick fil I'm gonna try it.
You'll never go back there again. They never responded to
me on Twitter. Still didn't No nope, nope, nope, nope nope.
First company ever not to respond to a commentary white
(15:19):
Castle bomb right away from both of them. Have somebody
that's just doing their social time sent me coupons the media,
tall snapchats me Chick fil But my point is, feel bad.
I don't like pickles. Rody has a problem with everyone,
and they sent him free coupon. They're very good to me. Really,
if you needed Hey, Berdy got a coupon for this,
(15:40):
if I would say yes because he got one in
the mail. Okay, we did these elms Ton Presents videos
last week and the question I got asked was what's
the best deal you ever got? I don't have that
kind of time. It's true, Scotty be too. He didn't
know what to start start a people customer service fifteen
