this morning getting out of bed, and I don't It's

not old man stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's more because I've been working out a lot, all right, right,
So no, it's true.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
And and because I've been working out, these muscles haven't
been activated in a long time, so all of a sudden,
it's like, whoa you want me to do work?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
So how often? How often do you activate your muscle?
That's no, but yeah, but it's true. Though. You know,
I didn't even know about the traps, you know, the
traps in the back, like thirst traps. No, you mean
it's I mean like trap trapezoids, whatever the hell they are.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Front and the back. So I'm doing some machine where
I'm like, wow, this feels weird, dude, and he goes, no, man,
it's just that you don't really work that part of
your body out that those muscle that muscle group, right,
it hasn't been woken up in a while. So so
I'm like, all kinds of all kinds of muscles are
like waking up in my body that I haven't been.

(01:49):
I haven't been woken up in years. They've been like
to sleep, like rip van Winkle. The less work you
did on your back was waxing. So and by the way,
don't tweet me. I know it's trapezi A's muscles. I
was making a joke about. Uh. I would think, though,
Scary with that calming music you wake up to. Do
you have it? You have it on your phone ready? Yeah,
the piano music. Yeah, that calming music would make you

(02:09):
feel better about all your aches and pains. Like Scary
wakes up and he's like, oh my back and then
this music comes on. Yeah, Well you have to wait
till I get mean, cue the music, but hold on
a second. Cue the music. I have to set it
as an alarm. Are you the sound guy on the
morning show? You get all the sound for Elvis? Right?
You get ready? Ready to go? Yes? So fast. I
know you gotta get continue to get chance. You gotta

(02:31):
get get, get, get, get, gotta get that, gotta get get,
gotta get that. This is the music, the seedling music.
All your aches and pains are going away. Scar. Yeah. Yes,
if I was in pain, I'd be like, oh, I
don't even feel the pain anymore. I feel so much better. Yeah, well,

(02:57):
I'll say that.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I have.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'm at a crossroads, Brodie, because you know what time
of the year it is. It's the end of the
end of the force in the fourth quarter. So so
what happens? What happens?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
You know, John One? All right, you gotta stop eating? Yeah,
but health you gotta eat healthier. I should say, actually,
I don't know. I'm literally at a fork in the road.
And when I say four and what's on the fork
exactly meet? I think I want I think I want
to continue with the gym MHM and and risk it

(03:37):
and just go for it. And not and not do
the doctor Fatlows program. Whoa scary Yeah, hit the jingle.
He's not a sponsor. I feel I feel like though
that he's not a sponsor. Right, all right, all right
at the moment, all right, all right, So here's the thing.
Here's the thing. So you're gonna risk it and put

(03:58):
down the biscuit, is what you're saying. I might. Well.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
The one thing thing about that that plan is it
forces me into a detox situation. It puts you in
a calorie deficit, and it forces your It forces you
to reduce your weight and get all the crap out
of your system because you're eating healthy.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
If I continue going to the.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Gym and I don't put down the fork and I'm
and I'm going full steam, when will I ever have
the chance to kind of clean out my body again?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
So I kind of use the food. If you ate
more food that was full steamed, you'd be better off. Yeah.
But people would always always be like, oh, it's a
new year, it's a new year. You do it again,
and it's like a yo yo diet every year. It's
not good for you. But what it is is it's
it's a reset of everything. Every year.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
For ten years, I was resetting my body, and I
was for two months really cleaning everything out and starting
over again.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
So I'm not going to have that this year.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
If I decide to go down this road where I'm
just gonna continue going to the gym.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
You could do that and then also go to the
gym and then at the end of the two months
eat healthier. Your problem is you're like, oh, I was
healthy for two months. I shim, I'm all good now,
and then you slowly dive back into meat pulls for
the table, apps for the table guy, and then all
of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This week alone, just looking at the week in food,
the week in eats.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Look at we've had Instagram account. We've had so much.
Everyone's sending baskets to the station, all the cellophane baskets,
the summer sausages, summer sausages. We had some sausage last week.
Our friend Julia sent the Julia Cole sent the summer
sausage over and and they always joked, that's Scary's favorite sound.
I can't replicate it exactly, but it's the cellophane. It's

(05:55):
ripping the cellophane off the gift.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Bad Orange cookie trays and things and people setting up pastries.
This morning we had the Brooklyn Dumpling Shops show up
down the hallway.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'll take care. Don't they sponsor this podcast? They have
I they have the most outrageous dumplings. I love that.
I'll take it to the dumpling shop. Yeah, we should,
which they should sponsor us. I have the guy's number,
the guy who started it. Anyway, they got twenty one locations.
Now not a sponsor, but they should be. So the
Brooklyn Dumpling Shop came through. Then there's this guy with

(06:25):
his famous hot chocolate. He shows up. Dude, It's like
drinking a liquid chocolate bar. It was so fucking good, bro.
And I'm like, what is this guy doing to make
this hot chocolate this way? I don't want to know.
Then then we had Bread's Bakery come up with their
famous Bobka and the rug luck. Yeah, that's rugg a
luck rug because you know, we're righting the rugg a luck,

(06:48):
rugg a luck. We're right in nuggle luck rugg a luch.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
We're right in the middle of Hanukah, no Conica, conica,
and and and then plus today was our insult to injury.
Today was our holiday party for the big show, and
we ate this massive feast at this restaurant Limitsina, and
I'm like nool and you know, I don't know what

(07:11):
I want to do. And then I come home and
there's all these I have a couple of boxes of
chocolates that were sent to me. So this is you
know it is. They say it's the most fattening time
of the year. And so I don't know what to do.
I don't I don't know how to how to like,
how do I curtale this? I'm coming in for landing.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Brody, You're you're the problem is it's hard to go
from one hundred miles an hour to ten miles an hour.
You have to coast into January. But you're going You're
trying to land a plane going one thousand miles an
hour on an aircraft carrier. It's not gonna work. You

(07:52):
gotta slow it down. But you can't because it's the
holiday season, that's right. And we still have another week
at they'll see two. Yeah, so you'll go and full
blown Italian restaurants every day and crazy food in the morning. Uh,
crazy food healthy, right, it's yeah, exactly. So I think
what you need to do is, if you're not going
to detox in January, you need to do medium food,

(08:15):
not not no food. You need to eat normally with
occasional splurges, and then by February now you can eat
healthier with like one or two splurges, and then by
March eat healthier with maybe one splurge, so that you're
retraining yourself how to eat better. The problem is you
deprive for two months and then you're like, oh, I've
gotta have Chinese food, and then you go back to splurging,

(08:39):
so you don't know how to ease back in, and
you don't know how to ease out. You need to
I need to ease on down the road. Yes, but
I'm not going to carry anything that might be a load,
don't you Yeah, don't. Don't you carry nothing? Don't you
carry nothing? Negative, don't carry nothing. Oh when we come back,

(09:01):
Oh did we ever talk about this music? We were
talking about, like this song Into the Night by Benny
mardonas on this podcast. Oh my god, I talked about
that at pick a Ball two weeks ago. We were
talking about perverted songs. That song is terrible. It's an
awful song and it was a number one song for
years podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
We will be right back?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Did I say years? It was ung for weeks? No.
We had.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Casey Jost on our show today. Casey Jose a brother
of Colin Jost from SML's Weekend Staten Island and his
buddy Kevin Kevin Devine, and they do a podcast where
they pick apart music and they talk about, you know,
weird like things that happen in songs, so or and
just analyzing stuff. Anyway, They've got a great podcast, but

(09:56):
it makes me they've never discussed because I asked them,
I said, have you ever analyzed the lyrics to Into
the Night by Benny Mardonas it starts with like she's
just sixteen years old?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Leave her alone? They say, okay, so right off the bat, yeah,
the guy sounds like he's saying leave her alone. No,
what he's saying is they say, they say, but I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna take
you into the night and show you love like you've
never seen before.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
And so he's basically banging a girl who's underage, and
the video is just as creepy.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
It supports this isn't like these are you were like, ah,
come on, scary, it's he was just telling his story
using using what imagery and things like that and similes
and personification and metaphors. No, no, no, he literally is
can't keep his mind off a sixteen year old girl,

(11:01):
and you know what, he knows that it's a filthy,
perverted thing, and yet he's going out with her. Okay,
you know what's terrible is that? Oh look, okay, so
Kiss has a song called Christine sixteen. Now I'm not
defending it, but lyrically, Christine Rhymes was sixteen, right, if
you did Christine nineteen, it's not exactly Chris and six

(11:22):
it's not okay, but he's like, she's only sixteen years old.
He could have done nineteen years old. Eighteen years old
he could have done. He could have done of age, right,
he could have he could have done that. And then
then the you know the song by Winger that was
a big hit in nineteen eighty nine, except she's only
seventeen seventeen. They talked about that one. So Casey talked

(11:44):
about that. Daddy says she's too young, but she's old
enough for me, dude, Kip Winger was like in his
thirties at that point. Look, if you are in a
relationship with a thirty year old and you're seventeen or
seventeen thirty or you were when you met, you're happily married. Okay,
I'm just saying the song at the time, nobody thought
twice about it. And now the fact that her father
is saying she's too young for you to kip Winger

(12:06):
at the time, and he's like, that's sold enough for me,
you know, as a father. Now I'm going, what, all right?
Enough for that? Moving on, well, listen, speaking of New
Year's resolutions, we were not done with twenty twenty five yet.
So this reminder, as long as you order before December nineteenth,
you can get your merchandise in the Brooklyn Boys Store
as a nice gift for someone in your life or yourself,

(12:29):
especially the holiday ornaments for your Christmas tree. I guess,
I mean they're technically Christmas ornaments, but you can put
them on your min ora. They just want to arrive
in time because Honiak is hamp over. Speaking of Hanukkah,
this is a classic that you should play every year
if you haven't. If you're Jewish, you should. You should
definitely play it, but let me let me find it here.

(12:51):
I'm gonna play. I'm out to plug this in and
you'll tell me you can't hear it. This is Smokey
Robinson the uh the U from Smoking Robinson and yeah,
a legendary singer from the sixties. Uh. He did a
cameo a number of years ago and it's still an
all time classic cameo. Here we go, anyway, God bless

(13:15):
you babe, Here we go, righty.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
They wanted me to issue happy Chanuoka. I have no
idea what Chanooka is, but happy Chanooka because they said so. Anyway,
God bless your babe and enjoyed Chanuoka?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Has he really does? He not know what honikah is
or you just didn't know that's how it was spelled.
He doesn't know what honakah is. He doesn't know what
chanooka is. It's spelled with ach by I know, but
I spelled it with ah because it's because it's it's
pronounced understood. There's no letter.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That guy could not have gone all his life without
hearing the word or seeing that people celebrate it.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, can I tell you something I was again, I
was said pickleball about a week ago. So the first
line of Honkah was was Sunday night. Yeah, it was
Sunday morning. Sunday morning. So I was talking to somebody
who's like, oh, tonight, it's the first time Honkah. And
there were two people there that had moved moved to

(14:17):
New Jersey from South Carolina. Yeah, and uh, I've met
them before. It's a husband and wife. And she says, oh,
you're Jewish. I said, yeah, just oh, I know it's
the holiday tomorrow. And I said, well, technically it's tonight.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you guys do you
spin that thing and you like that thing? What does

(14:40):
it you do? You spend that thing? You back that
thing up, back that thing up. So look, I've said
this before, Honkkah is not a top Jewish holiday in
terms of religious right. It's like, uh, it's like it's
a fun holiday. It's been made a fun holiday because

(15:02):
it has to compete with Christmas, right, right, So they
became like we got to give gifts and presents. It
wasn't a gift giving holiday according to the Bible. It
was another holiday, right, you know, with ceremonies like every
other holiday is a ceremony. Okay, so so, but the
so I get that people of other religions might not

(15:23):
you know, you'd think they would have seen it on
the movie or somewhere.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
It has to be part of listen the same way
Pete Davidson grew up in Staten Island and there's no
way he didn't hurt here in Ze one hundred.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
You cannot go through life sixty hew old? Was he
in that clip? Seventy years old? Its Smokey Robinson. You
cannot go through that many eighty years old.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
You cannot go through eighty years of your life and
not come across someone else's holiday or or seeing the
word on a piece of paper somewhere.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's not about you celebrating or not or understanding it.
It's about just be just regular are basic awareness. Like
there's a lot of things that I don't celebrate. They
didn't have nothing to do with my life, but I'm
aware that they exist because I've lived my life.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I know I've lived my life too. But I'll give
you an example. I heard someone on the sports radio
today talking about it. Was a caller and he was
talking about a Christian ceremony. It wasn't a confirmation. It
was something like an induction. Is there another ceremony? Like,
I mean, there's there, there's communion, there's confirmation, there's confirmation, baptism,

(16:36):
there's I'm a bad Catholic. There's marriage. Yeah, I know marriage. Duh, No,
I don't even know that's marriage is a sacrament. But uh,
you know, I don't even know, all right, So yeah,
well your point is what my point is? Said he
said initiation. I've never heard of it, see, and I'm

(16:59):
a Catholic Baptist. Ceremony is a sacret. I think it
was an initiation. Was initiation? Maybe it wasn't, Okay either way,
My point was he said he was he was being initiated.
I think that's what or inducted. So I thought he
meant like into the army like something, right, right, whatever.
My point was, I didn't know what that meant exactly,

(17:20):
and that's not a common word, so I would right
my point again, I'm not name people are on guys,
youre going crazy. I know who know what I'm talking about.
The people on the radio knew. They were like, oh yeah, okay.
So my point is, I know Christmas, I know Easter.
I know a lot of the Catholic holidays, Christian holidays
in general, I don't know all of them, you know,

(17:41):
I don't, I don't. I don't know what what you know?
The big ones Holland is a big one for the Jews.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's it's no, it's it's meaning. It's celebrated with Christmas. Parallel,
They're parallel in this December Smokey Robinson has no excuse, chanooka.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I think it's hysterical though. Anyway, Okay, let me let
me tell you them. Okay, New York City. New York
City is twelve percent Jewish, all right? Two percent? All right, Okay,
it's important. Okay, it's Okaying about Christians in a minute.
Oh no, I don't know what I want to talk
about Santacon. Come on, get okay, let's go. Do you
know what percentage of America is Jewish? Uh four? I

(18:21):
don't know. Two point two point four percent. Do you
know what percentage of Jews? What percentage of the population
of South Carolina is Jewish? Like point five point six exactly.
So if you grew up in South Carolina, the odds

(18:42):
ninety five people you meet, actually ninety five point prove
your point nine point is yes, ninety nine point four
percent of the people in South Carolina are not Jewish.
So the odds of you meeting a Jew or learning
the customs, I get it. So Smoky Robinson did not
know what you Knuka was. That's all. I think it's hysterical.

(19:03):
It's been the thing you like, the thing that's now
If I said Santa Cohn, you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I think that's a hell. Yeah, let's talk about Santacon.
I got caught up in Santa Con last week. It
was Gandhi's birthday, Gandhi from The Big Show. I decided
to have an impromptu dinner and said, Scary, you want
to come out to Emilio's Billato And I'm like, for
the for the fuck I do.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, I'll be there. So I went and we're hanging out.
We just we had some great, a great dinner. But
then we realize, oh my god, it's Santa Con. Now.
Santa Con starts at ten o'clock in the morning. Right,
it was ten o'clock at night. Do you know what
these santas and these elves and these these explain what

(19:46):
Santa Coon is. Santa Con is a barn. You know what.
You know what a bar crawl is? A bar crawls
when you go you organized or disorganized from bar to
bar to bar. You have a drink here, you walk
around to the next one, and you go in and
out of a all the bars. So they people do
this every year in New York City, except dressed as
Santa Claus, Missus Clause, the Grinch, or you know, elves,

(20:10):
whatever you want to do anything Christmas related, but mainly
a lot of Santas, even women dressed up as Santa Claus,
and they raise money for charity. You buy tickets. The
fuck they knew that was another thing they don't they're
supposed to, but people no, but most people are just
hangers on or they're just kind of saying, fuck it,

(20:31):
I'm going Most people don't donate, they don't not associate
with any charity, and most people just show up and
get drunk and cause trouble. So over the years, these
bars decided they don't want to have anything to do
with Santacan because it's just disruptive to their business. There's

(20:53):
no upside.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
They come in, they're hammered, people get into fights, they're drunk,
they don't tip. Well, they're just there's just a bunch
of cons not there's no there's no pros in this.
They're not making more people think well, why would you
let the santa Is in because they're good for business?

(21:15):
They're really not so so a lot of places have
signs on the fucking door.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
So we went after the after we went to Emilio's Ballato,
we went and walked next door to this bar, Milano's Bar,
just some no name bar, and all of a sudden,
five hammered santa has tried to come in, and the
bartender kicked him out so quickly he said, look, sign

(21:42):
on the door, no sand Is. And so these people
were not happy about that. Now they eventually walked walked
out and they left whatever. But I mean, you've been
drinking since ten o'clock in the morning, it's time to
go home. It's ten o'clock at night. Thing good is
going to come out of this? I mean, and and

(22:03):
and did I don't know if you saw, but there
was a lot of arrests.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
There was a lot of pulways, arre always publicurination, people
fornicating everywhere. My favorite was it was so funny to
NYPD escorting a Grinch in handcuffs.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
They had the Grinch someone dressed. It was so apropos
that they had the Grinch and handcuffs.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
The guy did some shitty things and they had the
fucker in handcuffs and they're walking them down the street.
But you know, don't listen. If I don't blame the
bars for not wanting these people in there, I don't
want I don't blame them.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I don't care if you need money for your business.
The one cup, two cups, both cops, blue cups. Thank you,
doctor Seuss. Yeah, it's the Grinch anyway. So, by the way,
a word just popped into my head when you were
talking about Santa Con and I was thinking about like
a Jewish version, and it popped into my head, Honakhon.

(23:11):
But I looked it up, and there is a Hona Khan.
I'm sure there is. If you could think of that,
it's already been done. Yeah, I thought I could have
a great name. Anyway, there was a Hono Khon in Maryland. Recently.
You didn't stand any on the news about drunken Jews
or public urination. So I'm just saying my people tribe,
there was a time when I wanted to go to

(23:33):
Santa kan there. The time of that, well, I was
part of the problem. Yes you are, And I mean
maybe I just grew out of it. Maybe, you know,
I look, this is fourth quarter scary. Could throw on
a beard in a red red jacket fourth quarter of
his life? Scary is that we're talking about? Or fourth
cour you know? But no, it's just.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
It's amazing, and I never I cannot believe that there
at one point I thought that was fun. I mean,
and I think people get disorderly and it gets a
little chaotic because people, I'll tell you what the dynamic is.
They're they're in disguise, so they feel like they can

(24:16):
get away with more. You know, you're you're a little
bit more brazen when you're in a you know, you're incognito.
So if you've got a beard and hat on, and
you know, when you don't look like yourself, you kind
of feel like, you know, you're like superhuman.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like you know, the keyboard cowboys who hide,
you know, the trolls on social media hiding in the
comment section.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
But but the police is still going to arrest you
even if you're in costume, right, so allah allah alla
mode that's what I'm thinking of. No. By the way,
a La Khan is a different thing altogether. Oh, I
didn't even think of that, Okay, gotcha right back? Yeah, yeah,
that note. It's the Boys podcast. By the way, I

(25:04):
was talking about the merchandise and we got distracted. Just
Brooklyn Boys dot Big Hotel dot com. Place your order
for the nineteenth. It'll get there in time for the holidays.
So scare you know? I belonged to a the Chicken
one of a lot of chicken Palm groups on Facebook,
and that is one of your favorite favorite foods of
all time, favorite foods. You should have tasted it, the

(25:25):
Chicken Partment, Emilio's ballotto the other night I have I
have had the chicken palm there. It's very good. I
ate there. I know you did. Chef Chef Anthony invited me,
put me in the corner table, the best table in
the place. When I went, we wa had a great
time a long time. The family, by the way, just
opened Vittolos down in Fort Lauderdale, the Conrad Hotel. I
hear that it's a great restaurant. Oh all right, and

(25:48):
the I had the what is it the the the
the veal a la Anthony Antonio vill Antonio so vodka
sauce with with Prejude dry. Oh it was so good. Anyway,
you're talking about a chicken breast wrapped around persudo with
regardless of talking about a veal palm hammered out veal

(26:09):
hammered out on the bone, not okay, on the bone
with with vodka sauce and instead of regular sauce and cheese.
Oh it's good. I would do that. I would do
that really anyway. So people always put up pictures of
chicken palm and they're like, oh, I give this an
eight point three, and I feel like the dude just
say it's an eight, you know, eight point three, Like

(26:31):
you're just making up a number at that point. Anyway,
So sometimes people will make their own chicken palm and
put a picture of it up and say chicken palm
at my house, and people like, oh, it looks like
shit or it looks good or whatever, and everyone's an expert. Oh,
it doesn't look thin enough, doesn't look like it. Oh
the sauce looks watery. It's sitting in a puddle of
red water that looks like trash. So the comments are

(26:52):
always very funny. So this guy. This guy wrote, have
you ever tried my wife's question mark? It's better than
any restaurant?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
No? Obviously, obviously the answer there is no nobody tried there?
Unless why is the problem. He didn't say have you
ever tried my wife's chicken palm? He said have you
ever tried my wife's wife apostrophos? Meaning something of her,

(27:25):
to which case somebody wrote no, thank you, I'll take
your word. One person wrote I'm a married man, thank
you very much. One person said I don't even know
where to start with that question.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
One person wrote weird comment. Unless your wife has a restaurant,
how would we even try it? What are we talking
about her private parts? One person said are we referring
to your wife's chicken palm or your wife? One said
I've tried her. I've had better tastes like chicken. One
person said what's her address? One person wrote her box
or her palm? One person said got a pick of

(27:59):
your wife's. One person said I'm going next week. One
person said you did not think this through? And I
wrote does it bring all the boys to the yard?
And then I wrote she needs more sauce? Less cheese. Ah,
that's nasty. David Brody what it could be referenced to

(28:19):
her chicken palm. So be careful what you talk about.
Be specific specific. Yeah. Yeah. Also, I got more money, Okay,
I'll take some No, no, not money for you. I
like this and a send a shout out to Heather
La Marsh or Lamarchie. I'm assuming it's LaMarsh. She sent

(28:43):
me a dollar and she said, umm, second, yeah, let
me check my transaction. She said, oh uh now now
you've made a dollar profit. So because you know now,
I actually I'm up to like twelve bucks. Yeah, my
for my nine dollars, uh, my nine dollars uh chocolate

(29:05):
covered raisins. Remind me, did we shout out Danielle Sun
Spencer on Slice Time? Of course we did. We did. Okay,
all right, we'll another shout out to you, Spencer. We
love you, Spencer. We talked about how he may be
more famous than his mother's. Oh that's right, one of
the biggest slices on Slice Time, all right, in the
history of our podcast. He's great. Yeah. So I'm headed

(29:30):
to Miami tomorrow morning. You know, we're doing our jingle
Ball concert there. Why one hundred jingle Ball in Miami.
You should go to Vitello's while you're down on Saturday night.
I just may, I just may, and uh, I guess
I'm looking forward to getting out of this weather. But
I have to do my Christmas shopping down there because

(29:53):
because I'm a procrastinator. Now would you do? Let me
ask you this. Okay, let's say you celebrate I wear large.
Let's say you celebrate a Christmas brody. Let's say here,
it's the twenty fourth, you know, Christmas Eve? That's oh
is it is? It is? It's on the twenty fourth.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
The deadline, the deadline, hard stop. Gotta have the presence
by Christmas Eve afternoon. Argue Okay, arguably, well, what day would.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
You return back from Miami. What day would you actually
be like? You know what I got, It's time to
pack up and go. If they gave you, well, I
wouldn't if they gave you an open ticket, it's a
I wouldn't. I wouldn't fly back on the twenty six
because that's going to be mayhem at the airport. No no, no, no,
no no. You need to spend Christmas in New York
in the cold and the ice and the snow. Okay,

(30:40):
so but you still haven't done any Christmas shopping. And
on the twenty Google bawls on the twentieth, on the Saturday,
what do you think I would fly I would fly
back on Monday, because most people will fly back Sunday night,
right if you know from right? And then Monday is
the twenty fourth, No, what's Wednesday? Saturday's sad the jiggle

(31:01):
ball twentieth twentieth. So the twenty second you fly back
in the morning. You've got all night on the twenty second,
all day to twenty third and a little bit of
twenty and fourth. I've got fly back Monday hour. Procrastinator,
I said, fuck it, I want to on the twenty third.
Oh my god. Yeah, I'm coming home in time for
Christmas Eve. You know I'm getting gift cards, electronic gift

(31:21):
cards and emails here. Yeah, your your friend Scary has
sent you a gift card.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I have this crazy idea to go shopping down there
and then just have everything shipped overnight so I don't
have to carry anything with me.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I guess you could do that, but now you're paying
for shipping. I mean then I don't want to, but
I mean I just you buy everything on Amazon and
have it shipped home. It's free shipping. I probably could
do that, but who's got the time. I don't know
you do, dude, Ah, I'm just here's what you do.
Watch the flight, you do all your shopping on the flight,

(31:58):
put everything in your cart, and then when you land
send by.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Last year we had the big family family come to
Jesus meeting with.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
You know that, the inevitable talk. It seems ironic all that.
Of course, we had the family talk that hey, it's
about time with for grandkids. It's a let's forget what
it's scary OS's grandkids. No, no, one, no no. It's like,
I think it's time we stop exchanging and just buy

(32:30):
for the kids. So I'm thinking, like, I don't, like,
I love the tradition of giving my sister, my brother,
my dad gifts, but like, like it's just unnecessary. If
I want something, I'll buy it myself. It's all right.
So I don't know. This year, I may go light.
I may just buy something for Robin and buy stuff

(32:53):
for the kids, my my niece and nephews. In the
words of Admiral Alkbar in Return of the Jedi, who
it's a trap. It's a trap. Yeah, you're not gonna
buy any gifts. You're gonna show up and they're gonna
be like, oh, I mean we we hadn't really made
that a concrete decision. Well here we go. We got

(33:14):
you this gift, Anthony, Oh I got you this. And
your sister's like, oh, we got you this, Anthony, we
got we know you. Well, you know it's weird because no,
you don't have any kids. So you're gonna buy for
your brother's kids and your sister's kids, and and they're
gonna buy for you because you don't have kids and
you're not gonna buy anything for them. It's gonna be awkward, awkward.

(33:36):
You get screwed. You get screwed. It's like my friend
paper Menu, by not having kids, I get screwed. Yeah,
my friend paper Menu has a theory. I may have
talked about this already. I'm repeating myself. I'm sorry. He said,
when you're putting together a wedding list, always invite married
people to your wedding because you never have to give
them a wedding gift. They've already been married. But if

(33:58):
you invite single people to your wedding. You have to
someday return the favor and get them a gift. That's
terrible to look at it like that. So you, having
no kids, your brother and sister don't have to get
anything for anybody. They at least should get you a gift.
No wonder they suggested it, but they're like, oh, we
don't have to buy Scari a gift. He's still gonna

(34:20):
buy gifts for our kids. It's a win win. I
never thought of it that way. I never thought of
it that way. Whose idea was, it's scary? My idea
was my sister. Yeah, oh, your sister, what a great
idea for your sister. I got an idea. Let's not
buy any gifts for Anthony anymore, our older brother who
we look up to, and he'll spend thousands of dollars
on our kids. And when we oh my god, I'm Ben.

(34:46):
That's been boozled. I've been ben boozed. Oh you know what?
You know what else they do that you don't realize what?
You know what? You know what's really expensive. We don't
want to buy buy for the kids. We'll we'll have
Anthony buy it as the uncle. Hey, you know, the
kids really want the new Nintendo switched. We're thinking again,
and you're like, oh, i'll get it for them. I
got a connection to P. C. Richardson, I'll get it.
Oh you would do that, Oh what a great gift, uncle, scary?

(35:07):
Then you going by the expensive gift they give the
kids like Jed popcorn, and then then they're done and
they don't buy you anything.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, you double families really do that, though. I don't
think my family is like that. I have to I.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
This. You brother drunk, he'll admit it. Your brother will
admit it. He'll admit your sister was in on it.
The whole time was a plot. Now we shouldn't. We
shouldn't exchange gifts to me. This is how family hatred starts.
This is where the fights begin. Where you stop talking
to somebody and someone becomes an estranged brother because they
they didn't work things out and they didn't have conversations.

(35:45):
I think that's terrible. I think I'm glad I saved you.
I pointed out the embarrassment of it all. Now, the
only way, the only way. So it's a win winning
to lose lose. You show up with presents for them,
make them feel bad. Now you're out the money, but
you're made of money. Doesn't really matter. So you give
them gifts. You're like, oh, I not give you guys gifts.
I love you guys. Then they have nothing for you
and they feel like shit. Then next year, you don't
get them anything. Would they give you gifts because they

(36:07):
feel bad? So next year you win.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
All Right, I can see where you're coming from, but
I don't. I'm gonna feel bad that I didn't buy
a gift. But okay, this is what happened to me today.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
So I'm driving Sam, producer Sam to work, which, oh,
by the way, congratulations producer Sam. She's preggers. He's the father.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
So her and her husband William have been trying. I've
been trying for a while now, and it's been a
story that we've been talking about on the air. We've
been following her journey through IVF and uh yeah, she's uh,
she's pregnant. So we're good for her, we're excited.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Good for him, and they're gonna be good parents. They
are anyway. So we're on our way to work and
she hands me this bag with stuff in it and
an envelope. I'm like, what's that? She says, she's just
just you know, it's a gift something, a little something,

(37:13):
because I said, we didn't say we're gonna exchange gifts.
I said, Sam, I didn't buy you anything. I feel
like shit right now. I said, you did this to
me last year too. Last year she put me a
beautiful pair of sneakers, Brody. I was them on stage
at jingle Ball this past weekend. It was these beautiful,
like really really nice sneakers, like they've been off white,
which is like a really cool Branka. Didn't you used

(37:34):
to buy presents for all the producers years ago? I'm now,
maybe Valentine's Day, buy some candy here and there. It
was never no, no, no, no no. You used to
give presents to all the producers on the show, did I?
I don't know if I did remember that? Yeah, yeah
you did.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, well I grew that real quick anyway. Nobody but Sam,
She's like, you know what, you drive me to work
every day. We you know, it's kind of she felt
a need to buy me a gift, but I said,
last year, I don't want a gift next year.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Please. That's okay, that's nice of her, But you realize
now you have to buy her a pregnant gift and
a baby shower gift and a baby gift. You have
to buy a gifts for revenuew so she will get
even Oh yeah, yo, yeah, absolutely, Well you're gonna get it.
What are gonna get? A plate or a spoon? Like
you got med from Tiffany? You got my first kid
a plate? A plate? Well? Yeah, the you know what

(38:26):
a parringer? I think I got her a parringer. You
got one of my kids a fork or a spoon
from Tiffany.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Tiffany, it was beautiful. It was something that they hold
on to. Okay, it's not practical.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
I get it. You made fun of me for you know,
a onesie. Yes, I made fun of you. I was like,
scary out listen. It was very nice. I know it
wasn't it was. I know it was not cheap. But
what is an infant going to do with a plate? Nothing?
It's a collector's item. I was like, look what I
got you from the Washington Mint for your daughter. It's

(38:58):
all right.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Now you're being you're being rude and brody.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Oh something really okay. I want to let you I've
been talking a lot, but but I have something for you.
And I don't know if you're gonna agree with me,
but I had like a present for me. Well, I
was a bit of a dick to in public. Yeah,
it was a bit of an anacon, not a Santa Con.
No happened on stage at jingle Ball on the at
the pre show, but go ahead, no, no, I might

(39:30):
even go ahead. I want to hear what happened at
the pre show. You may agree with me on this.
So when we have our pre event show across the
street from jingle Ball, it jingle Balls are sold out
show the main show, so people come to the afternoon session,
which is we throw a free concert at at the

(39:50):
Hammerstein ball Room across the street, and we you know,
we basically say, look, this is your last opportunity to
maybe win tickets. A lot of our sponsors are there
with booths and they're giving away tickets at their booths,
so they entered a win here and we give out
tickets for the stage. So over the years, people have
kind of tuned into that and said I'm gonna win

(40:12):
these tickets and they would come over to the Hammersteinn
and they started to bring signs like literally like and
it started small. It started like just a couple of
you know, a sign here and there. As the years
went by, the signs got more plentiful and with lights

(40:33):
on them and lights in garland and you know, the
cutout pictures of us and and you know, you know,
and they're holding up these oak tag signs like real,
you know, done up. That took them hours to make
a sign with you know whatever, pick me please. Some
of them were very sad with like, oh, give me

(40:54):
jingle ball ticket tickets these tickets anyway, but it was
all to win tickets, to be noticed some of them,
you know a lot of them to be noticed and whatever.
So I guess producer Sam. Speaking of Sam, she she
was like, I can't believe you said what you said
to that kid on stage. Now in the moment, I'm

(41:15):
saying a million things. I don't even realize what I said.
But then she made me look back at it and
rubbed my nose in it. And now apparently I'm an asshole.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Apparently when I was on the stage and we were
you know, we were calling out on the microphone, hey,
and look at this sign back there, and then and
I turned to a kid who probably was maybe nine
or ten years old, and.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
He was in the front and he's holding up a
fucking He ripped off a flap of a cardboard box
and wrote in pen, I need tickets. Okay, So I
embarrassed like a homeless like a homeless guy would have
a public I publicly.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Embarrassed him on the microphone because as I'm going through
all the signs of my I'm like, oh, this guy here,
he just ripped off the flap of a box and
he wrote in pen. I'm like, I said, I am,
I don't know if that's I said, I don't know
that Lawrence tickets.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Look at three people behind you.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
She cut out our faces, put us in a car,
she drew the cards, she had lights.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
I said, you're getting the tickets.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
And then afterwards, Sam is like, you just destroyed that
little kid's heart.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
You just destroyed him. And I didn't think about it
at the time, but now I'm being a little more
reflective of it, I guess, but I still stand by it.
I'm sorry you don't have a great sign. Your sign sucks, okay,
but that shouldn't be the qualifier to get jingle ball tickets. Well, no,
but the sign sucked.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
It was like did no effort put in you would
you give tickets to the kid that literally just said
last second, they see everybody's got signs, So I'm gonna
go run outside, rip off the side of a box
and write in a pick pen.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Gim me what if? What if the sign making people
had enough money and time to get nice signs done?
And this poor kid is literally poor. He can't afford
jingle ball tickets? And he's like, please, sir, can I
have some tickets? Can I have some more?

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Right?

Speaker 2 (43:16):
He wasn't standing in line for slop and porridge, he
was he was looking for tickets.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
He was there with his mom. I don't know. Please please,
mister Scrooge, can I get some jingle ball tickets? Please?
My family's hungry. Oh a little tiny tim were your
little shitty sign? Yes, you scrooge them? Oh you take
your stupid sign and get out of here. Kid, You're
not fancy enough for me. I used to do it, Okay,
The pre show was my favorite. I'll tell you why

(43:44):
because some years I would get on stage at Madison
Square Garden, which was a tremendous honor when I was
included with the morning show. But every year I would
volunteer because a lot of people from the morning show
didn't want to go five hours early to this pre show,
and I being second or third tier on the the poll,
I would always go because it would be my chance
to get on stage and and give out tickets and

(44:05):
throw t shirts and ask trivia questions and have fun.
And one year some girl in the second row looked
up at me and said, Brodie, you are my favorite.
I love you. Your phone taps are the best. And
I you know what, I said, thank you, here's a
pair of dingle ball tech. Yeah, I get that. I
suppose she didn't need it, didn't even need a sign.

(44:25):
It was that she she she can't where it was.
She listened to the show enough to know who I was,
and I gave it to Now. Look, I don't work
there anymore, so you can't like yell Brodie's my favorite.
I'm not there. But it was heartbreaking. Sometimes when you're
on stage, you wish you could give everybody a ticket,
right you would sometimes like you like we would rotate,
right like I'd go on for a half hour with

(44:45):
Skeery and then someone else would go on stage, and
and and and and you know, run the ticket giveaways
and do the band intros and then so sometimes maybe
my kids were in the crowd, like they were hanging
out in the crowd while I was on stage. I
would get off stage and I you walk off stage
into the crowd, people know you, like you got tickets,
You got tickets you can take Nope, only on stage.

(45:06):
I don't have any tickets. You don't have you tickets
in your pocket. Come on, give me, give me two,
give me one ticket. And hey w one ticket, And
you felt terrible because you wish you had tickets to
give everybody and you don't. But you had a chance
to give this kid who probably was like, you know what,
I can't make a sign. I didn't have money to
go to Staples. And all I had was this cardboard
I found in the street from the box my dad

(45:27):
lived in. This is like it's my dad's box visits Christmas,
Christmas shoes song. Yes. No, I ripped the box off
my dad's cardboard box that he lives in so I
could go to jingle Ball. My dad gave up his
flap for me, little Timmy, and I'm gonna go and
get a ticket to jingle Ball. And I said, dream

(45:47):
come true. For me, and this man said, nah, your
sign sucks. Kid. But this is the kid that was okay,
this is it and his father has no flap on
the box he lives in the way I look at
it is that he came unprepared. He came on you know.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
It's like it's like the person who's said copying off
everybody else's homework at the last minute.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
It's the person you really want to reward that. Yeah,
Like like like when when Charlie Brown came home with
the little rotten Christmas tree, because that's all he had.
You can get the Christian Charlie Brown. I put on
him and saw on it. They made the best of it.
I that point plan better. Okay, so you don't even tickets,

(46:31):
you don't even need to put any effort in. You
know what happened today on our show someone called in
and said, Hey, I want one of those Delongey coffee
machines you always talk about. And he's like, oh, oh really, okay,
that's cool DeLonge e and uh. And then I was like, well,
well you don't want a contest.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
We're not really having a contest, and he's like his
retort was, you know what, I just felt like I'd
give it my shot, and I was, well, why do
you want one? He goes, well, I think I deserve one.
I deserve I called you guys, I deserve one. Guess
what he gave him, A frigging delunga coffee maker.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Oh no, yes, no, if he look Okay, okay, see
what I'm saying, like, what did you do? You didn't
most people try and claw and try and get through
to be called one hundred and then try and answer
trivia questions. Okay, you do something to earn it. Okay,
here's what he should have done to earn it. What
he should have said was, and Elvis is setting a
bad precedent. What he should have said this guy was,

(47:26):
you know what, I have a friend who has one,
makes tremendous coffee. I got him in him little jealous
times are tough. I can't really afford that. They're a
beautiful machine. They make great coffee. I would love to
have one. I hear you guys talking about them, how
great they are, and you know what, I'm not able
to go buy one myself. I figured, what the hell,
I'll try to win one, but not I deserve one. Yeah,

(47:47):
you gotta give me some kind of story, give me some,
give me, give me the cardboard sign, but don't come
with a I deserve one. I thought you were gonna say.
Elvis was like, you don't deserve one. Get up the phone. No,
quite the opposite, he thought, and Elvis laughed so hard
that he gave him acause it worked. It worked? Okay?
Was the guy? Okay? Did the guy say I think

(48:08):
I deserved one? Or did the guys say I deserve one?
How did he say it? The more the more confident
one like arrogant? Oh no, no soup for you. If
he had said, I don't know I deserve one. I'm
a good person. I deserve one. Maybe if he was
funny about it, I give him one. But if he's like,
I deserve one, you should give me one. I'm like,
get out of here. Yeah, you're out. You're out. Don't

(48:31):
want to do in the s boye bye bye bye.
We'll take a break. We'll be right back. I forgot
to mention if you order before December nineteenth from Brooklyn

Merchan for the U for the gift. The day planning.

(49:32):
was asking do people actually use those anymore? Where it's
an actual physical, huge friggin calendar that sits on your
desk with you know, and then you could write in
on the lines and actually do sometimes because sometimes I
want to scribble something down, like a note, like a
reminder that I I'll but if it's in my phone,

(49:53):
I won't look at my phone. But if I sit
down on my computer desk in my home office. Yes,
I'll see it there and I go, oh, look, I
wrote something for for Thursday next week. I got to
remember that. But if it's in my phone, I won't
think ahead that far. I know I can set a
reminder a week in advance. I like the paper. So

you went in a hold on a second. You had
the word rack, and now all of a sudden, you're
not in North Stroam anymore. So nordstrom Rack is their
discount store that has like leftovers and imperfections and stuff
that didn't sell. It goes to Nordstrom Rack. It's like

(51:43):
all Fifth or Macy's backstage. Yeah, nord Strom Rack. I
love Nordstrom Rack. I got great deals there. So I
had bought a pair of shoes that I didn't end
up liking. Okay, yep, and uh, but I bought them
a while ago, so I couldn't get my money back,
So I got a sixty nine dollars. So I'm like, oh,
I'll go buy I go buy myself a shirt. I

(52:04):
need a new shirt for this time of year. So
I went to in the back corner is the men's department,
and over by the fitting rooms, there's a wall that
goes from the fitting room entrance to the back corner.
It's about thirty forty feet long, and all along the
watchtower and all along the wall, I'm just gonna say
the same thing I know you are, thanks Jimmy Hendrick.

(52:27):
So all along the top of the wall are these
green holiday signs that say, with arrows pointing down everything
here thirty dollars in below. So I'm looking at the
shirts and I see some really nice shirts, really like
the kind of shirts I would war at jingle ball
back in the day. Sure, so I see one in particular,

(52:47):
I like a long sleeve dress shirt. And I really
haven't bought myself a long sleeve dress shirt and a while.
And you know, I lost a fair amount of weight
in the past year, and thank you, thank you. So
I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go get a
shirt under thirty dollars. Those are nice shirts. Those are
probably probably at one point where like one hundred and
fifty dollars at Nordstrum. So I go over and I

(53:09):
don't know if you know what a face out is.
So you know, like if you see shirts and the
sleeves are facing you, that's on like on a pole,
a right, But a face out is when the shirt
is on an arm and you can see the front
of the shirt and all the shirts are facing out. Okay, gotcha? Okay,
all right? So I go through all the shirts. I
see this one shirt on a face out. It's blue

(53:29):
and black. I like blue and black. And you know,
when the shirts are on a face out, usually the
smalls are in the front. Then the medium's the largest,
extra large, double X. They're usually in size order unless
someone mess them up. So I go and look for
my large, and there's I don't know, fifteen to twenty
shirts on this face out right under the sign that
says thirty dollars in below. Like what a deal? I

(53:51):
got a sixty dollars gift car.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
I already can tell by I already I already know
it's coming. But go ahead, yeah, I already understand that,
I already know and I'm already anticipating even later in
the story, there's a fight.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Okay, yeah, an argument happens. Okay, right, okay, let me
correct myself. It said thirty five dollars in under okay.
So I look at the tag on the shirt. It
says mark down to seventy five dollars. So I know
that means that at Nordstrum it was probably one hundred
and forty one hundred and fifty, which nord Strom rack
for me. I see that, I act. I take it.
That's a bargain. I'm good. Okay. So I'm like, wow,

(54:26):
I'm getting a one hundred and fifty dollars shirt that
was seventy five. Now it's thirty five. Okay, So I
don't know what the exact price of the shirt's going
to because it said thirty five and below. I go
to the register. I was second in line. Now you know,
you know they had one of those, right, you know?
The register's like a bed bath, and beyond we have
to walk through a maze of blocks. Those are the
worst ones. That's why the worst one's going out of business. No,

(54:48):
Like he say, it's candy and magnets and boxes are
like sucking can't. It's like all the shit you wouldn't
buy and you gotta wait online, and you're like, oh,
what's that. Oh, oh a puzzle. I don't need auzzle,
but it's there. I might buy a puzzle. So I
get to the front alarm and second in line. Now
there's eight cash registers, scary, and there's one woman who

(55:11):
looks like a manager on the first register at the
far end. She's doing some clerical shit. I don't know
what she's doing. Then there's one woman register number two.
She's putting the security tags on the merchandise and putting
it back on a rack behind her. The woman bought
next to her. Number three, she's hanging clothing. She's taking

(55:32):
clothing that people return and hanging the clothing hanging, And
and none of the three women are looking at the
two of us online. We're standing there, so I start
going so finally one of them looks up, she sees
me and goes back to pitting the clothes. The manager

(55:53):
looks up, and she looks up, seeses two of us online,
and goes back to doing her clerical work. The third
woman looks up and looks at the other woman like
you're getting them, and she looks back goes, I'm not
getting them. So finally woman three goes next, and the
first woman goes, and now the second woman is not

(56:14):
going to a register, the one next to the manager.
So I go a and she goes, oh, oh yeah,
next next I get fine, okay, fine, So I go
to the register and the manager is five feet to
my right, still doing her clerical shit, and she she
rings me up and she says, uh, Now, there's no

(56:38):
tax on clothes in Jersey. She says, seventy four to
ninety seven. And I said, I'm sorry, but the sign
on the wall says all the shirts in that section
are thirty five dollars. I don't want a shirt for
seventy five dollars. I've got a sixty doe dollar gift card.
And I don't want to know. We already know where
you're going. Your sites are focused, your set. So she right,

(56:58):
So she says, yeah, look, if they had like said, well,
you know, if they were nice about it, we could
have a conversation. I worked in retail. I understand. She says, oh, well,
sometimes people put things in the wrong place, and I said, no,
I understand that. I used to work in retail, except
there's fifteen shirts on a face out, all of this
pattern in size order, which means your staff put them

(57:22):
there and put them inside. I said, unless you're telling
me that customers randomly put fifteen shirts on a face
out in size order by mistake. And she says, well,
I'll have to check with a manager. So the manager
was pretending not to hear this. She's five feet away.
The woman goes to the manager and says, this guy says,
the shirt was in the wrong places on salesforce, in

(57:43):
the wrong place. Someone put it back. Now you try
now right away? Did your wheel start turning and thinking?
Like what if it really was put what was brought
from another part of the store. And okay, it's really
no scary. Listen, if it's one shirt, Like if you
find a green shirt and it's in a rack full
of blue shirts, you're like, somebody's stuck it there. I'm

(58:04):
not gonna hold them to that. I get that, Okay,
I understand what it was, all fifteen shirts in size
order on the face out. So so the manager comes
over and she says, I'll have to check that off
to check that. So she goes on her headset. Uh, Tyrese, Uh,
you pick up please? So she looks in the back.

(58:26):
She goes, ty Reese is talking to Shonda is talking
to Shonda. They're not paying any attention. So I go,
do you want me to go back and take a picture.
I don't mind doing that if that helps. No, no,
I'll get him on Tyrase, Please pick up Tyrase, Tyra's
pickup please? Oh my god. So finally Tyrese gets picks
up and she says, I've got a customer here. He's

(58:47):
holding his shirt by we'll just say Smith and Wesson.
I don't remember the name of the shit. No, I
don't remember that. Whatever it was, crofton bat, whatever it was.
She just h he's got a Smith and Wessons shirt here.
He says it was marked down. Can you check that?
I was probably just put there by mistake? Right? So
he goes in checks.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
She goes.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
He says, I can't find them. He it's blue with black.
He goes, I can't find them. So I see him.
I go tell him. It's the it's the face out
right behind him. He's standing right there, she says. So
she says, sir, you know it's possible that somebody just
put the shirt in the wrong place. So you know

(59:25):
we can't honor that. So I said, look, I said
to the cashier, would you like to help the next
customer and I'll step off the line. You can help
the next customers. I don't want to hold up the
line and uh a. She says, no, no, it's fine.
And meanwhile, the line's getting long now sure because I'm
I'm not being wrung up. So the manager says, well,
I you know, I'm gonna have to go check because

(59:46):
Tyree's can't find them. So she goes all the way
in the back. I said, you know, you could just
trust me. She goes all the way in the back.
After telling me, she says she tried the whole one.
A customer wants to put it that thing, it goes
all the way back. Just go ahead and wring him
up or rauh for thirty five dollars. Oh, after all that,
After all that, I got my shirt. And so I said, so,

(01:00:07):
what you're saying is I was right. She's what I go. So,
I understand you're getting the shore for thirty five dollars.
I said, I understand I'm getting the sherve with thirty
five dollars because I was right. But what I would
like is for you to say, I'm sorry, you were right. Okay,
you didn't tell her that, right, You're gonna run right,
because I was joking with her. She goes, so she laughed.

(01:00:29):
She goes, you were right, sir, And she laughed, and
she goes, all right, you're right. Then she goes, you
know what, give it to him for thirty four. So
I got the serve thirty four. Look at you? And
what was the original original price? The original price was
like one forty something. Yeah, fuck that. She tried. The
old customer may have put that back by the state

(01:00:49):
routine anyway. So people, my point is, don't back down.
Don't back down in stores now. Be nice to people
during the holidays. It's very stressful, yes, but this was
a week ago. It wasn't really the holidays, and it
wasn't busy. Very true. So a little housekeeping.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
We are going to give you a uh, probably gonna
give you another Brooklyn Boys next week.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
I don't know about Slice time. I don't know about
Slice time because I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Not getting back until later in the week then it's Christmas.
But i'd like to I want we should come on
here and do a brooking boys at the very least.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
We if you don't do slice time and people leave talkbacks,
they'll be upset if we do a slice time and
they didn't leave talkbacks, like Jamie got upset. So we
can't win here. What I'm gonna say here, I'm gonna
say you can leave talkbacks and understand we might not
get to them. But if we do, maybe we'll play
a couple of talkbacks in the episode like old School.

(01:01:42):
We'll do a couple of talk backs that okay, but
all right, all right, sure, well okay, uh miss seven
Mary threw, all right, we'll figure it out. But listen,
I got something what what?

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
What? I have a major update I forgot with total
house cleaning. Okay, my friend pay per Menu and the
fall holding chairs? Oh go ahead, Oh yeah, did he
ever get his chairs back? Paper Menu? Okay, So here's
the thing. The neighbor brought the chairs back, left them
on paper Menu's porch, didn't bring the bell or tell
them they were there until the next day. So paper Men,

(01:02:16):
you found them the next day when he went out,
and he's like, oh he called in front of go
when did you return the chairs? He goes, oh, yesterday,
I guess you already in for the night. You didn't
see them. So not only did he return the chairs,
he didn't thank him and left them out another day,
another day, another on the porch outside. So he did
get them back, he gotta call them to get to
thank you. And I mean who does that leaves them

(01:02:38):
on the porch and leaves that doesn't let go hey
ring the bell or like oh hey, text him. I
left the selfish, self centered people with no manners who
were never then this guy anything ever again, No, don't
do it right now. You can hit them all right,
