Speaker 1 (00:00):
Start up, start Up, Brooklyn Boy, start up, Brooklyn Boys.
That data they're making noise data up Episode one. It's
a nice solid number. It's the Brooklyn Boys podcast with

(00:23):
with Us. Another day, another week, another month, Yeah, another year.
I can't tell well, I feel like this this year
has been eighty seven years. I only know that it's
Saturday because we once again have to apologize to our
listeners for being a couple of days late. Um, it's

(00:45):
it's we're trying not to make in a habit. It's
just by Thursday we are mentally exhausted, and then we
always try for Friday, and then Friday just goes right by,
and then all of a sudden, it's Saturday. And for
some people who don't have to even get dressed in
the morning, Hello, that's me. It's even worse. It's like you, how,
I don't even know how you do it. At least

(01:06):
there's some kind of layout to my day on a weekday.
Right on a weekday, I have to get up. I
still go to the studio in the morning. Body's working
from home, but I actually still get up to an alarm,
jump in the shower, have to get dress, jump in
my car, go to the studio physically. Then when I'm
done with the show, I come home, so at least
that part of my week is structured, and then the

(01:28):
rest of the day I can be allows. Um. But
for people who just are locked in completely working from home,
I don't know how you all do it. Um. You
know what I I get in the car and I
just drive and aimlessly, you know, for like twenty minutes,
just to get out to go get gas. Um. By
the way, speaking of going to get guess if I may,

(01:50):
if you don't already have this, I don't know if
every gas company does it, but BP and Sonocco do
you download the app? It checks your look pitian, It
knows what pump you're at you tell it the pump number, rather,
it knows what station you're at. And you can pay
for your gas in the car. You never have to
open your window, and I love that. And they're giving
you five cents at BP a gallon, and I think

(02:12):
ten cents a gallon at Snoco. Don't quote me. I
think it's ten cents for a limited time. But you
get a discount. And then you pull up, you'll show
them the phone and the app and they go Okay,
you put in like okay, pump seven. It sends a signal,
it knows your credit cards already attached to the the app,
and you're golden. It's fantastic. VOA is this available in

(02:33):
all states? Again? If you're listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast,
I only know what I have. I imagine BP wherever
BP is located, it works, and Sinocco works. I'm assuming
there's one for every gas company, at least major gas companies. UM,
so check that out. I only know how do I
what are my first steps? Okay? So, like near you,
there's a speedway right that's a really cheap gas station.

(02:55):
Go to your app store. See if there's a speedway app,
download it and see if they do that. Or I'm
of you google what gas stations the app? Because I
have VP here I know you do. So what I'm
saying is just either download the app of the gas
stations in your area that you always use, or google
what gas station apps allow me to pay in with
my phone, so you just pay from listen. I'm full

(03:18):
of tips. People are still thanking me for the money
because you're so cheap. What do you mean I gave?
I gave you direct, No, listen, I have you know.
You know I tipped very well. In fact, I just
gave a huge tip to the steakhouse that I bought
myself dinner. You didn't buy me dinner. Um, And you

(03:38):
know what the guy said at at Capitol Grill in
New Jersey, there a national chain, he said, thank you.
We use the tips to pay the employees that aren't
coming in. So the wait staff that isn't working, they
use the tip money to help pay their salaries because
they don't have any hours for them. So that's awfully kind.

(03:59):
So I want what do What do the people who
work those shifts get? They get paid, they're getting paid
regular rates. Well, but they're they're they're working in the kitchen,
so they're getting cook money. They're getting whatever their salary
is for working in the kitchen. I imagine they get
some of the tip money. I'm just saying they also
use it. I said, you're putting in the pool. He said, yes,
we're helping to pay the people at all. So yeah,

(04:22):
so I gave an even bigger tip when he told
me that. Well, I'm trying to think about now. I
got to download this app quick quickly. How do they
know you're not cheating them cheating home. Well, if you
use one of these pay as you go, you know,
pay on your app. Do you think I could just
like have a screenshot of an account of like look here,
I'm good, right, okay good? Let's you know them right,

(04:44):
because scary it sends a signal to the pump to
turn on. Okay. Oh, I know. I was under the
impression that the guy was looking at your phone and
then he presses the button manually. So you're under the
impression that a billion dollar gas company is just gonna
go okay and then and then crank the ask pump
with their hand and then use a foot pedal to
pump it into your car. That's what you thought, you

(05:06):
know what they're there are stupider companies out there. Yeah,
if you go to Delta Gas and save eight cents
of gallon because the signs crooked and the numbers are
falling off, and they're not you know, they're not affiliat
or anybody. Yeah, they don't have an app right that
that gas company in your town that has like a
you know, the no name gas company that you never
heard of, like Mike's Gas. Those guys probably don't have

(05:28):
an app all right, well, not of that. Yeah, not
of that. Okay. Are you still feeling a little stinging
in the butt because of what happened last night? Yeah? Exactly.
Well that wasn't deliberate, Okay, so I know it was.
It's just well, i'll tell you how hilarious. You know
what it was actually the Elvis Duran Stay at Home Ball,

(05:49):
which was a collection of artists that we got to
perform in their living room, like fifty artists a three
hour concert. It's three hour concerts, right, it was and hours.
That's a great idea. And shout out to Stephen Levine,
our prepr grew to the Stars to help put that together.
I know he was the brains behind that. And a
lot of people, you guys, don't, A lot of people

(06:10):
like you've never heard of but no, but no, people
like Andrew from the Serial Killers and Diamond Valet and
Tony who's our digital of the vice president of By
the way, whatever, I hate when you we start naming
names because you name one name and you gotta name
them all. Okay, so were you giving thanks? Don't just
I probably should have even mentioned Steven's name, because that

(06:30):
that made Brodie think, oh I have I have a
dilemma that the listen. You guys, the slices, you can help.
I want your your opinion on this scary You're involved
in this, so I'm not sure what we're supposed to
do because it's either a win win or a lose lose.
Because it happened again this morning or late last night,
I think it was this morning. So you know, there

(06:51):
are fourteen people of thirteen people in the morning show
roughly okay, but they were probably I don't want to
say hop people, but they're top of mind people. There
are six or seven top of mind people that are
in the studio every morning, and then there are other
people that work just as hard and just as important
who maybe don't come to top of mind to the listener.

(07:13):
And and what is that? That was a pipe in
the house that was weird. I guess they turned basement
in the basement so the pipes all run through the anyway,
someone wants to turn the shower on or something anyway,
check yeah, I get that checked. So when upper management

(07:34):
sometimes thinks of the show, they think of the most
notable in their minds, six or seven people, the host,
the co host, executive producers that includes us, So we're
not running down the name of Pete, names of people.
Um an email went out Saturday afternoon. No, not gonna
do that. So fortunately for us, the other people on

(07:56):
the show don't listen to our podcast, but they deserve
as much thanks as anybody else and upper management. Upper
management sent out an email last week, Oh, I know
what you're talking about that said, hey, seven people, thanks
for doing everything and keeping the show on and stay
in the extra hour. You guys really appreciate the extra

(08:18):
work whatever. Okay. Now, I of course was like, well,
the other seven six seven people should see this email
and they should know that they're appreciated. Also, the problem
is if you show them the email, they'll know they
were left off the email. All right. My me jerk
reaction to that is, don't show him the email. You're

(08:39):
gonna open up Pandora's now you're gonna make them feel
like shit in the process of trying to make them
feel like they're part of the team. Right now, somebody
could say, hopefully you didn't send that email to six
or seven people that were not copied and we're not addressed. Correct. Now,
somebody could say to the rest of the team. Hey,
upper management sent me an email and they wanted me
to thank everyone on the show. We're doing a great job. Right,

(09:02):
someone could do that. Not. You run another risk with that, though,
Why because then those people who you just addressed and said, hey,
upper management send me an email, they can then turn
around and go to upper management and say when they
see them at the next function whatever, that's gonna be like, hey,

(09:23):
that was really cool that you recognized me, you know,
And then no, you're fine. You're fine because Brody told
me that. Why you find you're fine because the person
who would do that would go back to upper management
and go, hey, upper management person, I'm letting you know,
I'm sharing this with the entire show. Right then they're
covered because anybody in upper management is gonna be small

(09:44):
enough to go, oh, absolutely, thanks again. You just go
along with it, right, They're gonna go along with it. Now.
The reason that's a problem. Now, what what I would
have done is upper management is I would have said, hey,
thank you seven people, and please pass this along to
everyone else. Everyone did a great job. Number one. Number two,
they could have asked for a list of names, which

(10:05):
they should already have and thanked all people, right, So
then we all agreed we weren't going to pass it
along because we don't want to le everybody feel bad.
Another member of upper management emailed to another one and
and did the same thing. They emailed the same seven

(10:25):
people and left the other seven off. And I'm thinking,
those other seven people really need to be thanked, right,
because it's nice when upper management recognizes you. You know,
even if you don't know if they know exactly what
you do, you know they know who you are. You
know that they're like, hey, I know that you're busting
your ass. Well, I feel like all thirteen people are

(10:47):
busting their ass and I want to commend them, and
I do you do? As executive producers? We say hey, guys,
great job. But it's not the same as what upper
upper management says, great job, right, you know what I mean?
When upper upper management other other other bends and what
what made it? What made it worse? When they when

(11:08):
they when they jump in, that's the ultimate in getting
a compliment, right. So what happened was the first upper
management guy he copied the CEO, the CFO, the CEO
like the hands of the entire company, and then those
people replied all and said, I agree, you guys are great.
So now it's like we got super thanked. So I

(11:30):
feel like, is it is it okay for me to
right back to those people and go, hey, thank you
so much. I'll pass this along to the team, Right,
It's okay to do that? Right? Yeah? But then can
I pass it all? But then can I pass it
along to the team? I can't do that. I think
it has to come from an upper management person haswise,
you don't. Otherwise the person doesn't feel as complimented to

(11:55):
another compliment. No. But the thing is, if I tell
them that upper management said hey, thank you and thank
everybody else, then they're gonna wonder, well, who else got
the email? Did Scary? Did Scary get it? Did Nate
get it? Did all this get it? Did? And they
don't want speculation and conspiracy theories. So the question is
to the slices, is there any scenario where you fold
this email to these people to make them feel good

(12:17):
or is it just gonna make them feel bad? I
feel like it's gonna make them feel bad. Yeah, and
we agree, Yeah, Brodie and I agree on that. So right,
So if you were if you were the one of
the other people in the morning show. Would you want
the email knowing that indirectly they were thanking you, even
if they didn't thank you by name, or would you
just I'd rather not know, probably rather not know. Otherwise

(12:37):
it makes my day turn to ship. But that's not
why our asses are stinging. From last night. We were
already sidetracked. Okay, well, you see you always We had
these fifty artists perform and which was wonderful. It was.
It was ran It was live on YouTube and had
inter cuts of us doing introductions and doing some fun
quick things in between the artists. Members of the show.

(12:59):
Right now, you did one by yourself. I did one solo, yeah,
and then you and I did I was asked to
do one with you where we did a whole brody scary,
scary brody right and nobody concert. No, by the way,
nobody told me to film it horizontally because we had
to film another video, which this was in the instructions.
I could point that out. I missed it. Okay, so

(13:20):
you missed it. Here's what happened. Well, I'm gonna management
didn't contact that's right, that's right. Here's what happened last week.
We had to do a video to show before and after,
before we shave and after we shave our faces, and
they specifically said film it um vertically, so that was
in my mind to film it vertically, and they should

(13:41):
have filmed anyway anyway, so you can't follow instructions, So
I did. I filmed it, by the way, who filmed
it vertically? I know? I feel I felt it well
as as it turns out, as we're gonna explain, initially,
nobody saw it, so you want to explain what happens
exactly it because in a three hour concert, three hour concert,
three hour, three hour concert, a live event, live to

(14:05):
live to tape and streaming live on YouTube, streaming live
an hour and a half in and by the shining
moment when the scary Brodie Brodie scary it was supposed
to happen after Jewel, I was tweeting everybody, Hey, don't
forget to watch the show tonight. Watch for us, watch
your brody and scary after Jewel and it'll be fun.

(14:29):
We have a quick it's only ten seconds, but seconds,
but it's a side support. It's who we are, the slicest.
We definitely appreciated seeing it right and so I thought,
So what happened was in this three hour concert, for
maybe a minute and a half the picture from YouTube,
the stream froze. It hurt, it herkey jerky, it stuttered

(14:51):
and then froze. So I was watching on my computer,
so I switched to my smart TV that was frozen.
I switched to the firestick that was frozen. And that's
when I realized that it wasn't It wasn't us. It
was right. The entire feed was frozen. And it happened
during Jewels performance, which was mere minutes before we were

(15:12):
going on, and I called it. I set up, Mike,
here comes the part where our intros fucked up. Right, No,
it's gonna be fucking and and and and then sure enough,
and I can bring Blip by. You can hear the
audio of us, but there was just a freeze frame
on literally a few but not only of me. But
it was a very unflattering capture. It was mid sentence

(15:35):
and Triple Chinned was like, I'm gonna get that off
the screen, and it freeze frame on me, and then
before long it went to the next artist. Right, So
when when Jewel was frozen, I knew what was coming.
I knew this could happen, of course, so I took
out my phone and I filmed. I filmed. All I
heard was I heard Larry David music. Oh no, here
we go, of course not for a rant, but for life.

(15:59):
Wall was me. This happened. This was my one video,
you had to I had the one. I sent the
graphic to all seventeen people of Larry Head like like
we're about to get screwed. And then and then the
slices were tweeting at me, going, oh man, my internet froze.

(16:19):
I'm like, no, it wasn't yours. So nobody saw it.
Nobody saw us. So the concert was two hours and
forty three minutes, which means it was a hundred and
sixty three minutes long roughly right, So the odds of
its crashing on our clip was basically a hundred and
sixty three to one, like if it had a crash

(16:40):
during one minute. You know what I think it is?
I think the excitement of people tuning in to see us,
That's what it was. I thought the same thing. There
so many people saw our tweets and my tweet to
tune in after Jewel that as soon as Jewel got
halfway done, the slices overloaded YouTube. That's exactly what happened, Brody,

(17:03):
exactly like that. That that anyway, it was, it's now on.
If you go down at Elvis Durand Show, you will
see actual it's not it's not up anymore. No, no, no.
If you go to at Elvis Durand Show on Instagram
and they posted just our posted just us. Okay, So
here's the funny thing. Here's the I did they take

(17:24):
that down? No, no, no, I thought you meant the
whole concert. Here's the ide we're on there. In fact,
we should take we should take that video and put
it in there into our Brooklyn boys. I have an
email to me. I'll phone to you, but let me.
He was what I was gonna say. When I filmed
the video, I wasn't thrilled with the way it came out.
So when it crashed, my wife said to me, you know,

(17:46):
in the long run, you got the audio on and
you didn't have the video because you weren't happy with it.
So so it was perfect. It was the ideal situation
for you. I said, you know what, You're kind of right.
And then in the web team Aliy and Diana went
and posted it anyway on Elvis Durrancho. Right, But what

(18:09):
I'm gonna do is I'm going to post the freeze
frame and the audio of how it really went down,
because I think that's funnier. So I'm gonna post that
at some point this weekend. So there you go. It
was a good time. It was a good listen. I'm
not complaining about it. Just find it funny that, you know,
because it only happens to the Brooklyn Boys, Brooken Boys.
Other than that, kudos to everybody else. Uh who kudos

(18:32):
to the top seven people. Uh, not everybody else, because
let's pretend we're upper management, and uh, because they did
an amazing job get it. First of all, getting all
the fifties something artists together huge. Imagine the emails and
phone calls that went on to try and get that
coordinated and then to put it all together and amazing.

(18:53):
But that one minute out of the hundred sixty three
boom scary Freese frame months scary and well that that
commercial break came out of nowhere. I didn't even get
a warning. Normally you say something like we'll be right back.
That was like happened to just have that button just went. Um.

(19:16):
I also reloaded him remastered. It was nice and clear
and crisp. You heard that in truth? That was good.
Oh here's another dilemma I had last night. I don't
know if you had the same problem. You know, you
and I are football fans, but I like football maybe
a little bit more than you, but we both like football.
And uh, you know, the NFL draft was last night,
So you're hoping that a brody got drafted somewhere so

(19:36):
you could buy his jersey for cheap. Yeah, you know, Uh,
there's never been a brody in major league sports that
spells it the way I do with the way um,
so I've never been hitting his There's plenty of bradies.
My buddy, my buddy will his last name is Herbert,
and uh, a guy by the name of Herbert. Yeah,
he got drafted, So he's gonna buy a jersey with

(19:59):
the word Hebert on it. Because obviously, when you get
it personalized jersey, right, costs a lot more money. But
when you buy it in mass produced like that. Plus
plus as a Giants fan, Hello, Daniel Jones is the quarterback? Right,
You're gonna get a Jones jersey. I'm assuming, of course,
he's taken over. He took over, but this year's he
better proved himself. He's got a lot to prove. Yeah,

(20:21):
but you can get the jersey though anyway. So see,
here's my dilemma. I wanted a tweet about the draft,
but I also wanted to make sure that people knew
I was watching the concert. So I felt like, I
can't get to I can't be like, hey, the draft
is going on because I'm trying to tweet out to
watch the concert. So I was. I was watching the
concert and the draft with the sound off um and so,

(20:44):
by the way, the Jets did very well. But my
favorite that my favorite moment of the draft. If you're
an Eagles fan, you'll appreciate this. So Carson Wentz is
the quarterback of the Eagles. Two times in the last
three years he's got injury where he's missed the end
of the season. In fact, two years ago he missed

(21:04):
like the last few games and the postseason and his
back up Nick Foles had to take over. Right, So
Carson Wentz, I think you don't have to tweet me.
I believe he missed the end of eighteen, the beginning
of nineteen and the end of nineteen, so he's been
injured a lot, at least in the last couple of years.
So they drafted a quarterback this year, probably too high

(21:26):
for a backup because he's talented. And the guy's name
is Jalen Hurts. H u Rts. The guy they drafted
to protect, the guy who always gets hurt. His name Hurt.
So I I that was my favorite up. And then
before the draft that the the Jets have a new
general manager named Joe Smith. I think Joe right when

(21:51):
people are screaming, uh, it's Joe hold On anyway, So
they were asking him before the game, um about one
of the players on the team. I don't have the audio,
but I thought it was I thought it was hilarious.
They asked him if if he Joe Douglas. They asked
him if he had spoken to Jamal Adams. Jamal Adams

(22:11):
is one of the guys on the team who they
has been talking about them maybe trading in the draft.
Maybe right, So they said, oh, he's on a sports
show and they said, have you spoken to Jamal Adams
And the response was no, I have not spoken to
him since the last time we talked. That makes no sense.
Right now. He wasn't talking about talking to the guy

(22:36):
on the radio. He was. I knowed he was talking
about Jamal Adams, and he said, I have not spoken
to him since the last time we talked, the last
time I spoke, we spoke. Yeah, well, of course, but
he was assuming that that person knew that the last
time they spoke was Well, but isn't that the case
with everybody? Scary? Was the last time he spoke to

(22:56):
your mother? I haven't spoken to my mother since the
last time I spoke to my mom, Right, But but
then I would be assuming that you knew the last
time that. But it doesn't matter, right, like, when was
the last time we talked to her? Oh, it was
the last time I talked to her? Right, Thank you
very much? Should thank you, Joe Douglas appreciate that. Um? Yeah,
so I don't. I don't know how to process this.
I'm gonna chalk this up as too as as coincidence,

(23:19):
not not irony. Okay, did you happen to see what
the United States Quarter looks like the tails side of
the quarter? Do you know what's on there? Brodie? Um? No,
they changed the back of the quarter all the time. Yes,
quarter This is not a joke, folks. It's a bat.

(23:43):
Oh my god, bats, Oh my god. I'm looking at
it right now. It's for national parks. It is a
it is a Simoan fruit bat. I cannot believe they
did not, Like I know, it takes a lot to
stop the mint and halt the presses like all on
a second. But somewhere in the last couple of months,
even though this was probably slated from last October November,

(24:06):
long before there was COVID, did didn't Someone says, let's stop,
you know, there's not no there's nobody that could have
halted this. What an unfortunate like result to have commemorated
on its tails by a bat. And it's two bats.

(24:27):
They're upside down and they're disgusting looking too. They're like, oh,
it's it's an honor of the Samoan fruit bat. I
don't want to fucking even look at that. People are
gonna think that quarters are bad luck. You watch this year,
there's gonna be an aversion to people carrying quarters with them.
So it's currency. It's got a bat on it. Who
doesn't allowed this to happen? So these quarters were released

(24:51):
in December, which is when COVID nineteen was roughly right,
did they can recall them or they could like stop
printing the stop the mint. Let's let's continue the rest
of this year. Are other species of things out there
that they find their parks they have to go. They
have to keep it in a bat hold on. It's
five quarters that recognized national parks located in American Samoa, Connecticut, US,

(25:17):
Virgin Islands, Vermont, and Kansas. By the way, there are
national parks all over, so I imagine they're gonna do
all the parks when they're all done. Um and so
it looks like Salt River Bay is Virgin Islands, and
um Vermont is something buildings. I can't read the first
word it's covered in this particular picture Billings Rockefeller Tallgrass

(25:41):
Prairie in Kansas and National Park for Art in Connecticut.
It's a guy painting a house. And American Samoa is
two bats. Come on, now have you ever have you so? So?
Can't they pick something else for Samoa? It has to
be known for something else other than a fruit bat.

(26:03):
And look at the date that the Samoa quarter release
dates and look so there'll be fifty six quarters in total,
all released by next year. The bat quarter was released
on your birthday, February three, So it's out there. Uh,
it's spreading, It's it's spreading. Does anybody have any slices

(26:30):
have one of these bad quarters? Now? I don't know
if it was Maybe they halted it. They're in circulation.
I don't think no, they there's no story, there's no
follow up that says that they were halted from circulation.
So nobody has done a damn thing to recall them,
or to just take them out and make them just
a rare coin and call it a day. And let's
let's replace the Samoa symbol with something else. I'm sure

(26:52):
they're They're known for other things than bats. I'm just
just uh, I don't need to constantly be reminded every
time I reach into my pocket of the great pandemic.
According to this hold on grabbed the tinfoil hats. People
on the internet are going batshit over the quarter. Did
you know that the Roosevelt Did you say batship, David Brodie?

(27:13):
I did hold on um batshit? Well, thanks to the
cold oka. Remember this is how rumors get started. Yep, okay, No,
I never said it was done as a conspiracy. Some

(27:34):
people are some people believe that. Okay, this so they're
showing a bunch of tweets. Um, they think it's a conspiracy.
It's not a conspiracy. Yeah, I used this music on
my other podcast for conspiracy. Yes, the luxuries of having

(28:02):
my own audio equipment here at my house. So this
is part of the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar
Coin Act of two thousand eight, which was signed by
President George W. Bush Um, sponsored by Delaware Representative Okay,
whatever the coin Okay, so different quarters ran right in

(28:22):
the right for every state. So starting in two five,
cord designed would be released each year until the end
of the program would only see one quarter come okay,
who would have thought? And it would land on All right,
we can move on now. But the conspiracy theories are insane.
What I'm looking at, dude, everybody's insane. I don't want

(28:46):
I don't want to. I don't want to specify any
particular craziness going on right now. But again, if there's
a look on social media that there's people who are
blaming certain billionaires for creating the virus um and because
they want to control the popular I mean, it's just
it's Bill Gates' Okay, I don't want to say. I
didn't want to get into what I don't want. Why

(29:07):
is he going to listen to this podcast? No, not
Bill Gates. I don't want anybody who thinks that bothering us,
Like there's people who think the guy who invented Windows
computers is I just I can't. I can't wrap my
head around it. I can't, And I don't want to
out there, you know, but don't tweet me. I don't.
I try to stay away from from conspiracy stuff and
politics on this podcast. Although I just had a nice

(29:29):
Lysoul Clorox shake, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself
right now. I feel healthy. Yeah, So all right, moving on,
moving on from the quarter and the bad thing. I
thought it was interesting. We we we can um. In
other news, I sold my Muppet DVDs. Did you really? Yeah? Dude,

(29:51):
what what you know? I gotta say? And I said
this on the Big Show, and I will reiterate this here.
Clean out your ship. You never know what it's worth
or what you're gonna get for it. It's stuff that's
laying around. And I I had a fifteen volume set
of the Muppet Show. We all remember them. It's thet
Show the late seventies, and it was star studied guests.

(30:12):
Each episode had one and so each DVD part of
the Time Life collection mind you was a three was
you know? It had three episodes and it was fifteen
volumes set fifteen DVDs, unopened in plastic. I mean, when,
when the hell ever am I gonna watch this ship?
First of all, I don't. I don't even watch DVDs,

(30:32):
let alone, Blu ray, let alone, any of that. Everything
I have now is stream Wait minute, why would you
let alone? Blue right? Blue ray is better than a DVD?
So blue Blu ray, let alone, DVD whatever either ordered way,
I'm lucky, and I don't even stream things. I'm lucky.
I streamed my piss when i'm when i'm it's going
to the bathroom. I don't. I don't want you know me,

(30:53):
I don't watch you watch last night? All right? That
I did. We'll get to that in a second. I
watched The Beast Boys Story on Apple TV Plus. In fact,
I became a member because of it. By the way,
amazing two hours. We'll talk about that. But point is
this freaking DVD set of The Muppets fifteen volumes, and
and then I said, you know what, I also have
a separate DVD with the first the entire first season.

(31:15):
I'm gonna throw that in there as a bonus. So
I unloaded that ship and made all this crazy money crazy. Yes, okay,
So what I did was I started going through I have, um,
I have a very large comic book collection from when
I was a kid. And when I say kid, I
meet up until my my late teens, and a lot

(31:37):
of it is you're still hanging out in your basement
with your microphone. You're still a kid. Absolutely, I got
my You're relegated to a basement where a pipe is
about to burst on your head. I'm not spew fucking
toilet water, kay, I'm not relegated to my basement. I
choose to be down here because I can be alone
to do the podcast. But I got an air hockey
table down here. I have bubble hockey, the crazy visual

(31:58):
of you under undercovers in the dark fire. What are
you talking about. I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna chair on
a table and my my, my, um my snowball microphone
and uh okay, my my spindles of of c ds
have giant racks that spin with shelving CDs another I mean,

(32:19):
get rid of that ship. I think it's time. I'm
going into my CD collection. Next, I'm gonna Why would
I sell my c ds in case I have a
need them? Why would I buy the music? Again? I
ripped them digitally and then if anything ever happens to them,
I have them. Plus they have the art work. I
like the ult where I'm not ever getting rid of
my CDs. I have my albums when I was younger.
I'm not getting rid of that stuff. I have my albums. Yeah,

(32:39):
you have your albums, so why wouldn't I keep my
CDs also? Now? See these? Now? My my real problem
is I'm looking at my shelving unit down here. I've
got VHS tapes of like concerts, and and I spent
a lot of money on bootleg concerts. So I have
terrible news. Shut up because that's where no, well, that

(33:00):
that's where that's where the luck runs out. I have
uh Friends the entire first, second and third season on
on VHS. I have I have Seinfeld the entire first
two seasons. Brody. They're worth like a nickel, I know.
I looked it up and then nobody's buying VHS tapes. Well,

(33:20):
they're not going to tell my god, VHS player that
couldn't get ten dollars for that. If you want a
VHS player, go into a goodwill. There's a there's there's
usually two aisles devoted to old stereo equipment and VCRs
and non blue ray DVDs. They're worthless. Uh so, you know,
Friends is not on Netflix anymore, and it's coming out

(33:40):
on HBO Max. But at some point, at some point,
normal people can't pay for every streaming service imaginable, right,
So my kids are like, well, we gotta get HBO Max.
It's got Friends. I said, we already have like five
streaming services. We can't do a sixth one. I said,
you know, I have the Blu ray box set, the

(34:02):
entire seat, the entire Friends collection on the series. It's
in a special box like it comes in a it's
like a ten DVD box or nine, the one with
the ten DVD box, Yes, that one right. And they
looked at me like, you can't expect us to put
a DVD into a DVD player to watch a TV show. Wait,

(34:24):
they don't want to be bothered no, no, And I
imagine a lot of people listening in the same way.
They're like, put a DVD in, are you crazy? Man like?
But but you have it connected to the booming system. Yeah,
I have. I have enough blue ray DVD players for
every room, but nobody wants one. They're like, what you

(34:44):
want to watch Friends? You can watch any episode? Well,
if we get HBO Max, are you paying for it? Oh?
My god? So they would rather pay for HBO Max
to watch Friends there than to bust open this ten
DVD collection and press the power button on the DVD
and watch it. That's right, that's right, because they want

(35:05):
to watch it on their phone, and they want to
watch it wherever they want to watch it. Can you
stream your TV to your phone? Yeah? But you can't
stream your DVD to your phone. Yeah, but you can
stream you DV. DVD goes to your TV and the
TVs is can can you connect to your phone? Okay?
Do you know? Do you know how that works? Scary?
When you watch a DVR or a VCR or any

(35:26):
piece of hardware, you know, the tele legacy equipment, you know,
the television television set is just a monitor to show
whatever you plugged in with it doesn't. It doesn't suck
up the video from the DVD and then spit it
out on on WiFi to your phone. You can't do that.
You can do the opposite. You could, I could take

(35:48):
what's on my phone. That's because you're taking digital content
on your phone that has data and on the same
WiFi as your home WiFi system. You are sending the
digital video. Dude, you're you're a tech guy. You're taking
the digital video from your foot. You can't do screen mirroring.
If your TV is four K digital in all the

(36:09):
bells and whistles, and it's it's connected to your internet
as well, it has wireless on it. You mean to
tell me you can't display the contents of your screen.
You can display, You can display digital. You can display,
for instance, like your cable box, because that's digital, and
if your cable boxes on the Internet, then you could.

(36:31):
But how how would you send a Blu ray video
disc that's not Internet ready? How would you get it
to your phone besides taking the disc out? And I'm
asking you, how would you get the content embedded on
a disc into the air into your phone to my TV?

(36:55):
But I guess not right? All right, So they want
to watch it on your phone, and I just want
to point I want to point out a game result
is they want to They just want their phones and
to walk around the house with it and see it there,
watch it on your head or right. They don't want
to be iPad, right, So therefore there's no possible way.
So they're gonna go for the HBO Max that's coming

(37:16):
out of your pocket. And then all right, and then
you could sell those DVDs. Well, I'm gonna try to
sell them now because somebody would love them as a
collector or someone who had doesn't want to pay for
streaming someone you know, old school or maybe new school.
And so I probably paid like a hundred ten dollars
for this box set at some point in my life.

(37:37):
So whatever I sell it for, I'll look online and
see what other people are selling it for, and I'll
sell it um and then turn and then take and
then take that money. And I'm all so anyway, I'm
selling my comic books also, anyone's I have doubles of.
Like back in the day, I would prospect. So if
you knew like a hot comic was out or it's
gonna be worth money, I would buy like ten copies
of it, so some of them are worth a lot
of money. I can sell nine of them now, or

(37:59):
I can sell ten and then buy a cheap reprint
of the of the one of it, so that I
still have the story if I want it. But I
was looking. You're never gonna go back to look at those.
That's not true. First of all, you're gonna read that
ship first of all. Yeah, first of all, I have
a mental read comic books. Not recently, but yeah, I
collected them from sport for sport back in the nineties. Okay,
so like I read the Walking Dead comics. Um, I

(38:20):
read it, you know, but I don't. I don't read
that many, but you know what I'll do. So I
don't know if you're like this. Mentally, I need to
have collections, full sets of things. I need to know
I have them. So like my garbage pail kids collection, right,
So like if I had, let's have the entire collection.
Let's say back, I have no clue I'll never use.
So let's say back in the day, I had four

(38:43):
albums by an artist and I never got the fifth one.
I'll buy the fifth one so I know I have
the ball now right, or if I when I was
a kid, I had like, uh, let's say Avengers, I'm
just making up numbers, Avengers one, three, five to a hundred.

(39:03):
I now have the ability, with the Internet and my
money to go buy two and four, even if I'm
not gonna read them, I get I'm gonna go. I
got the set. Now, I got it. I can sleep tonight.
You understand how even if you'll never use them, or aware,
or or clothing you'll never wear. It's like that. It's
like you're not gonna open these up and read the storylines,

(39:24):
or are you? I mind? You've got that kind of time? Well,
because because I can, I can now see what I missed.
I can go back and go, you know what, Now
I know how that happened. I missed that issue. The
same thing with every CD I ever owned. I I
haven't can't tell you. There's this one cabinet I'm looking
at right now. It's got all my CDs in it.
I can't remember less of I opened that cabinet to
to say, you know what, I want to hear that

(39:44):
I won't hear Alice in chains. Yeah, but isn't there
a peace of mind? I want to hear where's that
nine inch nail c D? Isn't there a peace of mind? Though?
And you're in the back of your head where you go?
You know what? I I know I'm not gonna listen
to the Beastie Boys six albums or eight albums because
I have them all on on heart radio right. But
I have them. If I ever needed them, or I

(40:04):
have them, I know they're there. If I want to
look the question to ponder, if you want to look
at the art, would ever them? Okay, so I have
Let's say I have two thousands of a just a
general question. This is I'm not trying to grill use,
but I'm sure people can. I'm looking at the answer

(40:25):
to this question. I'm looking at my CDs. Let's say
I've got two thousand CDs in my basement right of
music that I like, probably fifty of them. I didn't
rip every one of them into iTunes. It's it's too
much time. So if I'm in the mood for like, oh,
I really want to hear the Rippington's which was fusion
music from twenty years ago that I didn't put an

(40:47):
I yeah, I could pull it up on Spotify, but
I'd like to put the m P three's on my
USB drive in my arm rest of my car, so
at any moment, I can pull up two thousand, five
thousand songs off of a flash drive. I can do that.
I don't have to. I don't have to log into
my phone and sink it up and then. But I
use car play. I can just switch over to USB

(41:08):
and play any song I want. The point is, I
never know what I want to hear an old album
or or CD. I just pull it up. So I'm
not gonna throw them out now. If I've got doubles,
I sell those because some like before I got married,
my wife had a thousand CDs, I had a couple
of thousand. We overlapped in musical taste, so we don't
need two of everything necessarily, So I can I can

(41:29):
sell those, Okay, Well, I'm just I'm just trying to
put piece to sault together, because I do have I
do have CDs that are even autographed by artists that
you would think, oh my god, that's really a collector's item.
But I don't need to see the Google dolls. Johnny
Resnick his signature on my CD right, some of them

(41:53):
don't need to see that. I'm like, that's great. I
could I could sell this sold. I sold some of them.
Some of the ones I got were like, oh god,
they'll the artists will come up and they'll sign like twenty.
You know, they're not written to David necessarily, but how
great is it if your name is David or Brody?
But usually it's there David right. If your name is David,

(42:13):
it looks like you got it signed to you right,
so that there you go. The problem I have is
every anyone who signed it would have signed it too scary,
and it's such an uncommon name. It's just useless. Well,
I have a Mets jersey that I want to sell,
and I keep forgetting to do it because I keep
thinking I'm gonna cover it up, you know what I
want to say. It was like fifteen years ago. Um,

(42:37):
I forget if it was Model's or or the Mets.
Somebody said, hey, do you want to a Mets jersey?
Would love to get your Met jersey? Which one do
you want? It was free. I think it was free,
and I said, you know what, they'll go, we'll put
you'll put your your number on it, and uh, you
know and I said, oh, great, my name and number fantastic.
So at the time I I I said, give me

(42:59):
the road jersey, the gray Mets jersey, Classic Mets grow jersey, UM,
and I ordered it from I think it was the Mets,
I think. And I got the jersey and it had
my number on it, but it had the name of
the player who wore that number at the time, who
was a scrub. He was a nobody on the team,

(43:20):
but he wore the number that I wanted. So they
ordered my number, and I guess they were like, oh,
give him Garcia because Garcia wore that number. But Garcia
is nobody in the history of the Mets. However, if
your last name is Garcia and you want to Mets
jersey and you don't mind the number on it not
being your favorite number, I'm gonna make a killing off

(43:41):
of it. Garcia is a very popular last name. So
I've heard it. So I've heard, so I I may
that's great, seeing now that works. Now you're trying to think.
But what I'm my My larger point is, let's try
and clean out the ship. We're sitting here in quarantine
the time. Oh, I sit on the couch during the
Morning show, and I sell stuff on eBay. Uh, okay,

(44:04):
while you're at work, you really want to admit that
during work or when we go to commercial for nine
minutes we played, we play commercials and a song. I've
got a couple of minutes. If I have nothing going on,
I might post something or take at least take pictures.
Usually I just take pictures of stuff on the couch
next to me, So that's not really like, that's not
like I'm not listening it. I gotta get into the
business of selling more ship because I really liked my

(44:26):
first taste of that. Dude. I sell everything, unloading a
DVD set of Muppets which I will never open or
watch for a hundred and making a d I sell.
I sell old phones, I get a ton I found
a pair of sneakers. I don't want to get into
it because I'm gonna sell it when I sell it.
I bought these sneakers again, like fifteen years ago, and

(44:47):
I never wore them. I thought the colors were great,
but the bottom was kind of weird, had like springs
in it. It was kind of weird looking, and I
never had the balls to wear them. And now I
go on you on eBay and they're on open They're
brand new, and they're worth like two d and fifty dollars.
And I bought them at an outlet store because they
were discontinued and there there there. I don't want to

(45:10):
get into details of it, but I'm gonna sell them.
And they were just sitting around in the bottom of
my closet in a box and they have value because
it's like things age and you're like, oh, I'm never
gonna use this. Then fifteen years later there are collector's
item and I'm like, oh, I'm sitting on hundreds of dollars.
So I'm just making money left and right sitting home.
That's really my point. You're just rolling in it. I

(45:33):
wouldn't say I'm rolling in it. Um anyway. Uh oh,
you know what, can we play some sound? We can
because I we gotta wrap this up in like fifteen minutes,
so uh, if not less? Okay? So no, that's what
she said. Well, you're gonna spring a commercial break into
this without telling me, So you wanna do that here?

(45:54):
Uh and I'll place out you know what, I think
we can go a little longer. All right, Well, let's
let's okay, so this clip, I officially hate you. Okay,
So this clip. This is a guy named Gary Cohen.
He's the former chief advisor to President Trump. He was
a member of the cabinet and he's I thought he

(46:16):
was a sporty for the men. No different, Gary Cohen,
this guy is a financial genius. And now you know,
people have been saying PPE equipment, which is personal protection equipment,
even though it's PPE, and I think they's just call it,
first of all, get rid of all three three initials
names abbreviations because people are always saying the third one

(46:37):
right ATM machine the number. Okay, so should just be
P equipment at this point. But you can't call it
PP equipment, you can't, okay. So now last week they
rolled out the Payroll Protection Program. Okay, that is that

(46:59):
is the multibillion dollar UH relief program. I know where
this is going that the government signed and and it's
to give small one of them was for small businesses
and some of them for unemployment. And it's to take
care of people who and companies that are losing money.
So here is Gary Cohen talking about the Payroll Protection Program,

(47:22):
or is one might call it the p P P
P p P. You know me and I think this
actually makes more sense. We should say that any company
that takes money from the p p P program any
of the other programs. Remember, the p p P program
is just one of the government. He said it to
what now in that interview he said it like seven times,

(47:44):
but that one. You got to forgive the guy once again.
You know, he's on TV. He's probably just out of sorts.
He's trying to focus on saying the right thing. He
probably didn't realize it. I'm just saying, go back to
all the I mean, I'm not trying to defend the guy,
but like I'm just saying. Grande said it in Seven Rings,
which is you know a T M. Machines. Yeah, I know,

(48:06):
Well Beyonce, she did it, and and that's that song
is like a number one smack. I know how many
people are calling her ship around on that ship or
Halsey for that. You know, I think people get awake.
But that's poetic license. When when Beyonce said I could
care less that, I got a little upset with that.
I got upset. But it's poetic, it's poetic license. I

(48:27):
guess I'm just saying I'm not criticizing Gary Cohen. Necessarily,
I'm saying that's the new A t M machine. The
NUN number is the p p P program and the
personal the p p P, the PPE equipment. That's all
I just I'm I noticed it. I'm passing under along.
A lot of our slices send me screenshots of people
doing this doing similar, So I just try to mention it.

(48:51):
Now you want to hear. I was gonna say, do
you want to play our new songs or no? Well,
do we have any people that would the song? Would actually? Okay?
I didn't screen. I want to make sure that that
we play the song for a purpose. So are there
is there a reason to play the song? Just to
hear you know what? I'm trying to remember. We had
a couple I think I texted you during the show

(49:14):
when somebody texted in, well we could save it. Why
don't we save the songs for next week? We have
some new songs. I haven't got some new music. I
have three times when it's appropriate to play the song.
We need a reason, all right. So yeah, I wanted
to talk about a YouTuber that I'm a big fan
of um and I insulted him. I think but he

(49:37):
didn't understand the insult and thanked me. Okay, so well,
I'm not going to mention who the YouTuber is, but
it's someone I watched three or four times a week, right,
I like him very much. Um. And for the first
time in the five or six years I've been watching him,

(49:58):
he decided to bring his life onto the to the video.
So he did a live stream where he took questions
from people, and his wife came on. He's talked about
his wife many times, and she was a whispering, mumble mess.
She and she talked through her note. She was like um,
and she kept saying she's introverting, but she meant she's introverted. Right.

(50:22):
She's like, I'm sorry, Like why isn't she talking? He's like,
I'm introverting, so god, So she didn't really um. She
didn't really talk a lot. So the way it looked
um on the screen was um. By the way, I
know that the word introverting his word um, but she

(50:44):
it doesn't matter anyway. UM. So he had his arm
around her, like to make her feel comfortable, but it
looked like his arm was like up her shirt. Maybe
it wasn't, but it was like you know, behind her,
and every time the live stream would ask her a
question estion, he'd said he'd have to like he'd have
to explain what the question was to her, and then

(51:06):
she would write back. She would say something like, well,
you know, I don't think I do, and then he
would say yeah, so she totally agrees with that, like
he would almost translate her mumbling, and so it was
very hard to watch because listen, she's an adult, she's
in her thirties, and she would she couldn't talk. Look,

(51:27):
I know that happens to people. I get that not
everybody's outgoing and talkative, but it seemed odd. It seemed
odd to put her on a live web stream when
people wanted her to talk anyway. So he would like
look at her and go, yeah, so what do you
think about that? And then she would respond and he
would tell the camera louder than the way she said it.
So I commented, because on on YouTube, it's not my

(51:49):
real name, and I just said, I kind of feel
like I'm watching a VL trillo Quis show, because it
looked like with his hand on her back, that she
was the puppet. So he thanked me. He gave me
like a. He liked the post and when thank you
appreciate your watching the whatever was he wrote your What

(52:10):
were your exact words? I said, I said, I it
wasn't to him, I made the comment on the video,
I did, what was what you give me your phrases?
I said, I feel like I'm watching a ventriloquist act
implying she's a dummy. No, I understand what you were applying.
But that's all you said, just like that. There was
nothing else, nothing else, And he liked it. And it

(52:35):
wasn't a sarcastic like like thanks man. Maybe he doesn't
know what a ventriloquist is, so you think he's as wife.
Maybe he was just going down the line and just
starting to hit the heart like like like like like
like he's just excited that somebody I had something to
say about. Well, my point was, I felt really bad
after I did it, but then he liked it, So
I feel like I don't think he got what I

(52:56):
was trying to say. Is there any way is there
any way he could have taken it as a compliment?
I implied, I think you're reading into it. I think
he's the kind of person who just goes around and
just hits the heart on everything. Alright, So you think
he just he just liked everything, right, because there's no
way he could have liked that. It was a mass
blanket of likes, like, oh, somebody responded to me, okay,

(53:18):
So just to be clear, there was no way to
take that as a compliment, right, There's no way, zero,
zero way a ventriloquist act. All right, would you like?
I found this was a sign that somebody posted in
the East Village of Manhattan. This is a sign wrapped

(53:40):
around a pole, written written on an eight and a
half by eleven piece of paper. But it's uh, it
was typed out nicely, big bold writing, big and and
they were on several poles. But here is someone screenshot
at this and this is true and this is not
a grammar police thing. Must be a lot of runners

(54:01):
in this area, people getting exercise. Okay. So it says
dear jogger, bicycle douche bag, yuppi slash millennial narcissist swine
colin put on a fucking mask in big bold letters, period.
Please respect your community and the lives of others. You
do not live alone, period, Love the East Village. How

(54:28):
great is that? I mean? Somebody who's just like in
your face. Hey, we were just thought I would share
that we were talking about collecting comics, and one of
the other things I collected as a kid was baseball cards,
and so I probably I have probably I have all
my baseball cards. Also, do you think my garbage pail
kids stickers are worth anything? By the way, I'm seriously

(54:49):
starting right here on this podcast, I had this this
no ship. I'm like, that's a really good you've talked
about You've talked about selling these for like ten years
on air on the Big Show. Yeah. Well didn't I
go on eBay and tell you they're be worthless? Yeah? Yeah,
I think I all right, Okay, So what I was
saying was I'm on Facebook as we're talking, because that

(55:11):
that dead bastard wrote me back again on Facebook, the
guy I'm politically fighting with on on my Facebook page.
Why don't you respond to him? Not gonna do that anyway.
There's an ad on my Facebook page by it's by Tops,
the pre eminent baseball card company in my opinion, the
original or one of the originals. Um, there's now I

(55:31):
guess it's an app where you can collect baseball card
images and trade them with other people, so it looks
like the like it's like a picture on your phone
of a card. So instead of paper cards, you can
digitally get cards of baseball players and then trade them
with people. Like you buy a pack of digital cards

(55:52):
and then trade them with other people who bought digital
cards and then collect your favorite players. That seems like
a waste of money. Yeah, that's g I feel like
you could just Google image the card and then just
screenshot it or download the picture. But if you've got
nothing to do when you're stuck in your house, it
says you can trade with fans around the world. Do

(56:12):
you think people in Kenya collecting American baseball cards they're
gonna want to trade with me? You could do, you know,
but it's not an untrue statement. You couldn't trade with
people around the world because around the world. Yes, I
understand that, Yes, I just I wonder if if you
know around the world, I think that's a bit much.
If you got a couple of a couple of email

(56:32):
and if you have some tweets. I have some I
have some tweets, I have some pictures I want to send,
and then one last thing, I have something a couple
of rants, but I've noticed four of them are about
CVS and Walgreens, because that's that's the only place I'm
going right now, the supermarket. I have to supermarket complaints
and four complaints from drug stores. Where else am I going?

(56:55):
Where else? Is anybody going? I can't tell you what
happened in a baseball game or a concert. We're not
going there. Am I wrong? You're no, You're not all right?
So tell me what did you read? What you wanted
to read? Mold talk that change like it's mail time. Welcome,
You've got mail? All right? You could always email us

(57:18):
at the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. We
always read them, at least I do. Brodie may or
may not. I don't know. I don't even have the password,
but I phone were the good ones to you? Um
we let's let's go to um Rachel G who um
was loved the Online Guy No episode episode zoom your poon.

(57:44):
I'm a big fan. Hold on, love the Rance Brody. Okay,
hold on, we we all hold Okay, I'm a big fan.
Love the Rance Brody and always take your advice that
even is not even It's helped me many times. We
started anyway started from zero, and I was listening to
the current podcast and the Guano Conversation. Sent this photo

(58:06):
that I found from a friend on the same day.
I knew you guys needed to see this. Hope we're
both staying safe. Rachel g from Yonkers and she sent
the picture, the black and white picture of the woman
on all fours, bent over with her skirt up and
high heels and with trying to zoom her poon to
her Guano who's looking into the camera. And yes, Brodie,
now say what you were about to say. Well, first,

(58:28):
I don't want to discourage anybody, but we've all seen
that picture at this point. Right by the eleventh time,
I say, I can't see it enough. So it's funny,
but it's okay, it's funny. But after like the episode
is four weeks old, chances are we've seen it. We
also got tweets this week that said, you guys have
probably seen this, so I try to, you know, not

(58:49):
upset that you sent it. We're good now, we're good
on the black and white picture of the woman on
all fours. Also also, actually I'm not send him directly
to make Jones. So I have six or seven great
photograph photoshopped uh memes images of various forms of the
president drinking Clorox and Clorox bottles that say drink as

(59:12):
a cocktailing. I got them all. I'm good. I'm good. Okay, um,
all right, LIANGI wrote, uh, please do not read my
name on the podcast. Okay, good job, scare No no no, no, no,
no no, it's not the real name. Oh the real
name is somewhere else at the bottom. Okay, So they

(59:35):
said I've been a long time listener, although I'm sad
to say that I wasn't there at zero. I started
listening when you guys hit double digits, and yes, now
I listened in order listen to all the podcasts excessively,
probably about fifteen listens per episode. Wow, that's a lot.
And I don't start from zero every time. My question is,
is it okay that I don't start from zero every time?

(59:56):
If before you listened to every episode multiple times. I
trying to jump around and listen to my favorite episodes
of course. Yeah. The only thing we said listen in
order is so that you know what's going on and
you get all the jokes. But once you get all
the jokes, do what you want, although they go on
to say that they live in Wisconsin with the fast
food chain culver Is being right here. Um, they serve

(01:00:16):
the best burgers, and you could see the grease dripping
off the burger when you get it. The custard is
incredibly creamy and just delicious. So they make you pull
up at the drive through. But I put up with it,
and then I say, and I'll tell you why. First
of all, I go there religiously, to the point where
there are employees that know what I order when I
walk in the door. Second, they have excellent customer service.

(01:00:39):
I was at the drive to the other day and
I pulled up, I waited fifteen minutes, and I was
about to walk in and ask what the heck was
taking so long, And an employee walks out and brings
me my food, and along with it two coupons each
for a free basket value meal for the next time
I came Boom free dessert. I didn't even ask for it.
Unlike most other places, they acknowledge they have messed up,

(01:01:02):
and I didn't even have to go into in there
to complain that they're we're already willing to do something
to fix it. They pre emptively gave him free dessert.
This is what customer service is all about. This specific
location is I will say it's the only time that
I've ever seen it, but anyway sets the example for
the rest of the while. The food she described sounds fantastic,

(01:01:24):
and now we can't get it. I want to go
to Culver's. Let's go to Culver's. Oh my god, sounds good. Um.
By the way, speaking of people who listen episodes four
or five times, episode one eighteen entitled Scary's Mom Sucks,
it still has the fewest listens. What is wrong with
that episode? Nothing because it it doesn't say sucks, dick.

(01:01:46):
If it did, then it would happen. Yeah. So it
used to say scary scary head of problem with Brunch,
and I changed the scaries Mom sucks and the listeners
went up. But it's still it's still lagging behind. I
will tell you that. Um. The don't drink the Corona

(01:02:06):
Chino episode Skyrocketing episode one. I think that was when
people started getting quarantined, or at least like when people
were settling in because it's huge, So maybe something great
about that episode. But I looked at it and you
could see by day, how many people listen and the

(01:02:28):
day we all got sent home. Right, it's like a
couple of days later it's spiked. So I think that's
I think that's people's quarantine episode. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah,
we have a lot of people asking us to do
more than one episode a week. We could barely do
this one. It's Saturday, Saturday, and we're doing this for

(01:02:50):
you people. But then again, we have no excuse. We
should have done it on Thursday. Right. Shout out to
Mary Gray car at Mary Muo too. She tweeted me
and said, just got a refund on my car insurance.
Thanks for the tip. So, uh, I'm like the Gecko,
except I'm saving on your car insurance. I'm like, I'm

(01:03:11):
like flow, but I'm extra progressive. So um, a couple more. Um.
We have people get pitching us guests and I don't
know if that's the this is the forum for it,
so let's not talk about that. Okay, Well, well, well
wait a minute. Pitching his guests like they're eight their
pr people and they have a guest they want to
have on the show. Yeah, is it someone? Is it

(01:03:33):
an author of like how to Fight the Illnesses? Or
is it fun? Is it a fun thing? No, they are.
Let's see it's somebody who uh looks to this. You
know I can't even tell no, fuck it, no, you
don't want this person. Trust me. I can already tell

(01:03:54):
this is not it's not gonna approve. Are you saying?
Wrote you guys are awesome listening to the Brooklyn Boys
podcast in addition to loads of alcohol. The both of
you in the podcast help me. He's listening to alcohol.
He said, he's listening to the Brooklyn Boys, and the
way he wrote it was listening to the Brooklyn Boys

(01:04:15):
podcast in addition to loads of alcohol. Okay, so he's
listening to Obviously he's drunk when he wrote this. To
give him a free pass because it says it right there.
So he's listening to the alcohol. He's and my friend
Jack Daniels called yeah. Well anyway, it's helped me keep
some kind of normalcy and sanity while quarantined here in Rochester,

(01:04:37):
New York. Started from zero, I'm up to three. Just
heard scary called COVID nineteen the Rona and almost fell
out of my chair. My wife and I have been
calling it the Rhona, the rhoney et cetera for a
while now, just to keep things as lighthearted as possible,
wanted to say, what's up from Rochester. Let you know
how much I appreciate both giving me a glimmer of sanity,

(01:04:59):
uh during get Oh, I appreciate you both giving me
a glimmer of sanity during these crazy times. I thought
he was about to say both that and and then
period are your exactly? Hashtag slice for live hashtage hashtag
f you, Agnes, thank you, Steve, and then um, can

(01:05:21):
we talk about the mousaka lady? No very upset? You're
upset or she's upset? She's upset Angela's I think just
so she's not more upset at us. I think it's
pronounced mouska, right, And that's exactly where she was going. Oh,
I got it, Yes, So glad. My sister stumbled upon
your podcast last year. She was listening to Thanksgiving episode

(01:05:43):
where Brody was talking about how his family decided to
tell his aunt during dinner her friend had died. Actually,
that was me, It was my my that was me
that was talking about. Okay, it doesn't matter. She's been
both laughing hysterically. Born and raised in l A. But
my loud ass Italian Russian family is straight up jersey.
I was hooked after that, and I've been listening in

(01:06:06):
order damnit ever sanch, which brings me to my point.
I'm up to the episode, and Moosaka is not pronounced moosaka, Sorry, scary.
I married into a Greek family with an fob of
mother in law fob, and you know you are saying
it right when it sounds like moose aka or moose kaca,

(01:06:31):
as I like to call it. I'm sure someone else
is correct as you by now. I'm only up to episode,
but I had to chin in. Thank you, Angela Spiritos.
What does fob such an f ob mother in law? Um?
Fresh off bitch, fresh fresh off? No, it means fresh

(01:06:51):
off the boat, fresh off the boat fob. Yes, I
have heard that before. I don't know why I forgot it. Anyway,
I knew that, yep, I knew that, Mousica. Then we
have a couple of long ones here that I'm just
gonna let you know that they got free dessert. Cynthia
Chung shout out to you and Luis Aguilar uh from
your favorite Salvadorian slice. He also wrote a long one too.

(01:07:16):
I don't know if we want to go into it
right now. All right, it's it's it's a lot. I
think that. You know, Bertie, I should just give these
forward these to you for your book. Yeah, that'd be great.
How's that coming along? Well, I've had extra time now
that I'm home to not continue writing it. It sounds great.
I don't have time. You think you have time. You
don't have time. No, I know we don't. And one
further note, as someone tweeted at me about this follow

(01:07:40):
up and it's obvious what the answer is going to be.
They said, Hey, a couple of months ago, you guys
teased the Brooken Boys merch Store coming soon. And guess
what we were right at that point, and we got
quarantine to quarantined. It was. It was about that time
we were going Bertie, Bernie and I were actively going
through the catalogs of things if we could possibly make

(01:08:01):
and make happen for you guys. We had a company
ready to go. We asked you guys for suggestions, and
then the covid hit the rona, the covid rona, the
Rona hit us, and so we apologize for that. We'll
get back on track when we can and uh, but Brody,
what if we did like a one time only Brooklyn
boy's face mask? I mean, now is the time to strike.
Those are gonna be useless in a few months, right,

(01:08:22):
you know what? That's a that's an item, brother, that's
a let's get that thought. Can't we just do that one?
Here's the problem. You call that guy and make that happen. Things,
get it going. I think I don't need a whole
merch store. Let's just get the mask at slowdown, Jackson.
I think the guy's company is shut down because of
the RONA don't okay, listen, we gotta wrap this up.

(01:08:45):
I gotta go pick up dinner. In other words, you
gotta take a ship. No, I gotta pick up dinner. Legitimately,
I gotta go. You gotta go, Yeah, I gotta go.
All right, I'm gonna bring in the Beastie boys, all right, which,
by the way, let me just say in a word, outrageous.
Good see it. Okay, I'll give you a review next time,
or maybe I won't, because maybe people don't listen to
the beast you know, and they're like, who gives a funk.
Let's try to do maybe a short episode in the
middle of the week next week, and then we'll do

(01:09:06):
a full one later in the week. Let's try. We
could try. You heard it say, yeah, no promises. You
can't always trust people. No, we no, never trust us.
And you know why you can't trust us all the time?
We know why because from Brooklyn Boys Boys
