Start data start Up, Brooklyn Boy, start up, Brooklyn buys data.
They making noise, Data up. Episode one. This is the
Brooklyn Boys podcast. The year end, rear end, whatever you

(00:22):
want to call this episode right uh now, scary? Have
you been hard at work assembling the year in best
of clips so we can do a countdown in a
montage and a regispectually, we have we have one major
clip to play right here. This is the best, the
very best of the Brooklyn Boys. And here it is,

(00:44):
and there it was. That was a hell of a year.
We did a whole lot of nothing, Brodie. Let's face it.
We sat in our couch, we the weather, the weather
was shipped and then all of a sudden in March
we started sitting on our couches and locking ourselves in
our basement. And that's been our year. We've done some
good episode soon as the weather started turning decent. Pandemic time,

(01:07):
Corona times. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that. Yeah,
I like this is a year I'd like to forget.
Quite honestly. Well, we did have our biggest episode ever. Okay,
round of applause for coming in sixth place last week.
A thousand podcasts so I appreciate it. I don't want

(01:29):
to see if you do unless you're unless you're claiming
election fraud. That's the highlight. I'm not gonna do that. No,
I'm gonna take every ballot I can get that. We
were number six, all right, and we're gonna be higher. Listen,
my my plan, my goal. Your goal is to maybe
break the top five for next year, maybe even top three.
I would love that, you know. I'm just I'm just

(01:51):
really offended that we really didn't get it. We got
jipped out of this year, out of having a real year.
We're supposed to be traveling for jingle Ball right now,
we're supposed to be going from city to city, which
we're supposed to be going on cruises. I mean, listen, everybody,
everybody gave up a lot. Listen. Scary. I don't. I
don't want to minimize, but a lot of people, I
hate to say it, a lot of people lost their lives,

(02:13):
a lot of people lost family members. So I know,
I just want people to know that we were putting
our problems in perspective. We realize that people had it worse.
We're just saying, in general, for everyone, if you didn't
lose someone or you didn't get sick this year, it
was still a crappy year, that's all. Yeah, let's yeah,
we're putting it in terms of our world. And yes,

(02:35):
we were not forgetting about what's going on out there.
That going across the street gets shot and I bang
my toe. My toe still hurts. This is true. That's
all were saying. You know, first world problems we've had
at that episode before, We're still allowed to have them.
They exist, you know, you could say first world problems
or what was scrounging for paper towels again this week?

(02:55):
I had to buy the cheapest non no name awful
Brandon paper towels and by Sparkle. Did you is that
what it is? The Blue the Blue Rapper, Glory the
Blue Rapper that was on Hot ninety seven the other night.
I don't, I don't, uh, angel, no, Angel, I forget

(03:20):
what brand it was. It was so crappy. It was
like three seven a roll at home depot. But it
was your microphone connection tonight because it sounds like ship,
does it? Let me say, hold on, let me check
the check the cables. Hold on, yeah, hold on, okay,
how is that? Oh? He's gone and I'm back. How's

(03:41):
that better? All right, we'll leave it like that. We'll
see what he is it better? Yeah, a little bit?
Was it quilted? Northern? Was that it? Actually? So, that's
a real that's a toilet paper, doesn't your I know,
my three point seven million dollar equalizer fixed the problem
with my mike. No, not nothing. Nothing can help your microphone.

(04:01):
It's you've got a terrible hum because you've got something
going on in your your basement, right there's nothing going on.
The washer and dryer off, the heat is off, the
heat is on, the heat is on. Thanks Glenn Fry. Yeah, no,
because it's it's cold outside and we're in the middle
of a blizzard right now. Well, I'm sitting in my
basement in the cold for this podcast. The slices appreciated.

(04:23):
I understand that. So the point was the pandemic is
now people are re reinvesting in toilet paper and baby towels. Yeah, well,
let me tell you something. My uh you know, you
know the lady that comes here once every two weeks,
she helps me clean the house. The woman who three
sneakers out to help you clean the house, she cleans
the house. You aren't sitting there with a rag with

(04:43):
her cleaning the house along. So I gotta tell you
my house is always cleanest hours before she gets here,
because I feel like I can't leave a mess for her.
You call your girlfriend to come over and clean He No,
I clean everything myself. I'm like, I don't want her
to see my place like this. It's crazy. I get
into my own head like Brody, So I meet meeting
things up before she even gets here. I tidy this place.

(05:05):
I everybody does that. So we have someone who comes
once a month also just just for the big stuff.
That's yeah, not even so so I'll you know what
I'll do. I'll go around the night before and I'll
set things up or clean things or move things where.
I say to myself, I wouldn't want anyone to think

(05:28):
that I live with this here like a fucking dirt bag, right,
like a dirty sock in the couch. I don't want
to go and why how it lives like that? Or
like a glass with empty pistachio shells in it, you
know what I mean? Like this, like I'm not going
to clean up like dog toys like she puts them
all in a bin. She cleans up all with dog toys.

(05:48):
I'm fine with that, there's dog toys around. That happens.
It's a normal dog, it's a normal house. But if
you get that, you know, like a big clump of
toothpaste laying on the counter that you missed a couple
of days, you gotta clean that. You can't you don't
want like because I don't. I don't. I don't want
someone who coming into the house going this. This is

(06:09):
like he just leaves his crap for me. I don't
want to disrespect anybody by leaving my water toothpaste just
lying there. Like I wiped the sink out, like you
get all the dry toothpaste after like a few I
I clean the sink. Well, not because I don't want
her to do it. I don't want him to see it. Well,
what I all I do is I leave her some
money for for for paper towels, and she brings me Sparkle.

(06:32):
So whatever the Sparkle brand is, it's the one that's
falling off the roll the second you open it up
the pack. Okay, the ones I got are so cheap,
there's no role Oh there's that. Well, actually that's that's environmentally. No, No,
they stay chintzed on the roll. They're like squishy and
they flatten. That's how cheap they are. So I so
I took him out of my trunk and I put
them on top of a closed garbage pail and the garage.

(06:54):
But I bought two packages. My wife just came home
five minutes for the podcast. I opened garage door for her,
see if she's okay. So now she drove home in
the snow, and first thing she says to me is, well,
those are crappy paper towels. Yeah, not hello, No, but

(07:15):
here's the thing I skip I skip bound on some
things we buy. We buy bounty paper towels. Well, I'll
buy brawny if they're there, but uh, every once in
a while Amazon has them back in stock and I'll
order them right away. So right now they're they're up
a few dollars. You're like thirty eight dollars for the
sixteen mega rolls sixteen equals or something like that. So

(07:41):
my wife's five right, thanks Chicago. So my wife says, yeah,
I get him at the Costco, or I get him
so much. I said, listen, they're they're flying off the
shelves right now. There's a storm. Coming. No, I I
saw them. I get him. Okay, all right, So yesterday
I get the text message, Hey, if you're at the
store more, can you pick up some paper towels? You're

(08:03):
I said, I'm gonna be a targeting shop, right, Oh
could you just keep your eyes out? I said, target
is already a cavern of nothingness peeled. Yeah, shop Wright
had nothing. So at home Depot today I bought like
Mike's paper towels. That's that's really what I got, like
sand paper, right, Like you know Kirkland is the brand

(08:24):
name for Costco. If Home Depot had a brand name, like,
that's the paper towel. That's what I got today. Plug. Yeah,
like you're right, I got like Electrician Mike's famous paper
towels famous. I love, I love it. I won't skimp

(08:46):
though on my I won't skip um on seran wrap
I've gotten. You know, I've substituted pretty much every you
just used. You used a brand name though, well, right,
so here'sifically yeah, Well, my point being that I will
change out on certain things and you know, skip out
and big body like butts on sale whatever because it's

(09:06):
just household plant, you know. But you won't buy cling
wrap from anybody else. That is exactly it. It's it's
got the plastic wrap has to be Suran and that's
and that's just always and just what makes you think
than my fil my foil? How that Suran does cling
wrap better than anyone else. That's a Nobel Peace Prize

(09:27):
for Suran. It's a superior product for plastic rap. It's
a superior product of you. Grandma Skary since the time
when I was growing up back in Brooklyn right there,
you know, they didn't ever thence she bought Soran wrap
and Suran Wrap, and I remember, I remember specifically its
holding things much better than cling or Hefty or any

(09:49):
of these others. And the same thing goes for forty
years later. Nobody has perfected the cling wrap, but Soran.
I think the slices will agree, and they'll also agree
when it comes to aluminum foil, Reynolds, the Reynolds, the
blue and the pink, that you can't beat that it's
a superior foil where you're gonna get a better foil.

(10:10):
I mean, that's the one people buy. But how do
you know it's any better than the other one. It's thicker,
it's better. It's better, it's tougher. It doesn't rip, and
you know what surand doesn't you know what? It doesn't
melt in the fucking microwave. You know why, because otherwise
that other stuff it gets it melts into your food

(10:30):
and now you're eating chemicals. Do you notice that the
surrand that the Reynolds wrap not Reynolds wrap. Yeah, they're
a linou foil aluminum foil, which everyone calls tinfoil, but
it's a luminum foil. When you pull it out of
the box, it's the muted side up, yes, right, when
you when you when you cover something, are you supposed

(10:52):
to have the shiny side up or the well, no,
the muted side up, and then when you wrap it,
the shiny side is outside right, And that's way it's
supposed to because I never knew years ago. I used
to turn the roll upside down so it would come
out shiny, but then I realized when I wrapped it
was all muted. But he has a question nobody can
answer for me. How come when you wrap something right,

(11:13):
let's say a slice of pizza, you wrap it perfectly,
you have extra tinfoil, You're you're generous with it. You
triangle it, right, it's it, It's done. You take a
bite of it, You take another bite of it the next,
like next, a couple hours later. Tastes metallic. No, I'll
come after a while. Even though the pizza gets smaller,

(11:35):
the tinfoil no longer covers the pizza. Have you noticed that?
Or a piece of steak? Because it's because it's wrinkly,
because once it gets wrinkly, it loses surface area, does
all right? So I find myself eating more food to
make the tinfoil fit. I can't be the only one
that does that. The hell of a problem to have. Yeah,
I go, oh, you know what if I take one

(11:57):
more bite of the steak that I could just fold it?
I could, yeah, and then you rip it? You god,
eat more steak. So don't tell me it's the best.
Find me one that doesn't shrink all the time. You know,
probably some people don't have food you're talking about. We
are privileged. Hey, real quick, before we go any further, UM,

(12:19):
I wanted to let you know this is a message
from our our merch store manufacturer that they are just
a handful of Brooklyn boys, ugly Christmas sweaters and Christmas
T shirts left, and he told us that any order
that comes in between now here we are on whatever
day this is recording December and the next few days,

(12:42):
the second he gets the order, he will try to
process it same day. If not within twenty two day.
If right, well he will process it. It'll get to
you a couple of days later. But he will, like
he's not gonna sound for the big Christmas soon as
the order comes in, he's stuffing a m up and
he's sending it right back out at you. So get
involved right now. Pick up your merch for the holidays.

(13:06):
Go to Brooklyn Boys dot, Big cartel dot com. What happened,
big Shot? That was your That was your spot there, Brodie,
you always yell at me because I jump on your
line and you're not here to say it, So I'll
say it for you. That's Brooklyn Boys Dot, Big Cartel

(13:28):
dot com, and Cartel is spelled c A R T
E l um. We have some wonderful hoodies in there. Uh,
we have t shirts. We even have tanks because in
certain parts of this country the weathers in the seventies
and eighties in South Florida. I'm talking to you, so
maybe you you know you still want you want, you want,
you want those uh tank tops? Where's bro Brody? You're

(13:51):
awfully quiet? Wow, this is crazy. This is an actual
first Even Brody is gone. I saw him disconnect. I'll
tell you what, well, haven't some technical issues. We'll take
our first break right now. And then we got to
get Scotty be on the phone because I got some
beef with him. Maybe Brodie's back now I'm back. Now

(14:18):
what happened there? You missed your slot? You was supposed
to repeat after me when I said Brooklyn Boys dot
Big Cartel dot com, and you didn't hear me say
anything after that. The line was dead anyway. I finished
it into a commercial break just what I said. What
I said was I know the slices say it along
with me. I wanted to give them a chance to

(14:38):
say it. And then I was gonna say it, but
then you kept talking and I kept talking, and I'm like,
why are we talking over each other? You didn't talk
because I think I think I kicked the cable that
plugs into the bottom of the mic. I know my
feet are cold, so I'm moving them around. My sneakers
got wet in the snow because I was outside decorating.
You're a fucking mess, Brodie. Well, can I tell you

(15:00):
why I was decorating. Well, I'll tell you what he
did do in kicking the cable. You fixed the mic.
It sounds a lot better now. Well that because the
cable must have been loose because it fell so but
it was Yeah, I know, because I don't have eight
point nine billion dollars, buck you, Brodie story, because I

(15:23):
gotta get Scotti before he goes to hold on to Scott,
hold on for a second. I got a couple of
things I gotta get out, all right. I was outside
decorating the house with with holiday lights. Okay, it's soliday season.
We've lived in this house for many, many years, long time.
Never had lights on the house. About five years ago,

(15:44):
Greg t uh after after after Christmas? I guess, yeah,
after Christmas, I barred his rope lights on, like maybe
he brought him into work. And so for a week
or two afterwards, like you know, in during the winter,
in the New Year and everything, I put rope lights
around the garage doors, two garage doors. My wife loved it,

(16:06):
and and then every year she go get I don't know,
I don't know. She didn't like one particular way or
the other if we put lights up or not, and
and so every year I would look and it was very,
very expensive to have somebody because I'm not climbing up
on the roof. I don't have a ladder that goes
up there. I'm not doing it. So this year we've had,
like you know, we've talked about this, had a crappy year.

(16:26):
I thought I'm gonna plan early this year. I went
to home depot early. I got the lights early, right. Plus,
I think I mentioned that I had decorated for Halloween.
I really liked it. Did you get those cool icicle lights? No? No,
my wife done like icicles. They're my favorite sickle. Thanks queen.

(16:48):
So no, we got this. I got the standard C
nine bulbs for the roofline and I got I got
little lights first. Anyway, so I wanted to hire someone
to do the lights that I couldn't do. We talked
about a little bit on the last podcast, how you
would be in scambonied. Yeah, I told you, and uh
let me. We wanted an exorbitant amount of money to

(17:10):
rigging up the lights. Yeah, it was insanity. So I
went on my insanity. I went on my town Facebook
page and I and I searched for lights, and also
while while I was on Facebook, we've also talked about
maybe installing a backsplash. You know what that is right

(17:30):
behind the sounds, behind the sink that I never got
when I moved in here, and now I'm regretting it
because I got sauce stains on my wall. Well there
you go, uh mom spaghetti. So we've been talking about that,
and so I figured, let me look and see if
anyone has anyone they can recommend, because a good time
to do it is when we're on vacation next week
and the week after. Yeah. Well yeah, I'm not looking

(17:52):
to announce that just we're off next week. So yeah. Anyway, So,
as one woman says, does anyone have any recommendations for
installing a backsplash right? One woman puts, oh, we gotta
go to this company. One woman says, my husband will
do it. Like I've told you, it's always my husband

(18:13):
will do it, right, because the women love the Facebook group.
In my particular town, there seems to be more women
and they're always like, oh, my husband will do it,
Like first of all, you volunteering your husband. Second of
all again. I don't want husband hobbies. I don't want
to hire husband hobbies. I don't want a guy who
has as much skill as me coming to my house
and I'm paying him because I wasn't man enough to

(18:33):
do it myself. My man enough. I just mean that,
I'm surprised you didn't put it on your honey do
list anyway. The third recommendation was from a guy who said,
you should do it yourself. It's so easy. I did
it myself. That's not exactly. She asked for a recommendation
for someone else to do it, and his responses, you
should do it. I did it. It was easy. Okay,

(18:56):
So I find a light company. It's a guy who
did my gutters about seven years ago, clean the gutters
on my house. It's two brothers, we'll say, uh, Joe
and Phil. Phil came with a teenager first time go
to cleaning once I was looking for a new company.

(19:19):
Came to my house. Now, if you know anything about
gotter cleaning, you take a hose, your hose down the gutters. Uh,
you scoop out with your hands all the black stuff,
the leaves, the gunk. Right. Some people throw it to
the ground and then scoop it up and put in
a bag. So far I cannot relate. I don't own
a home. Do you understand what I'm saying? I understand

(19:39):
what you say. On the back of my hand. On
the front of my house, you throw the stuff down
into the lawn, and all the dirt and the blacks
vomits now just leaving the dried grime, leaves everything in
the back of the house. I have a deck. So
the teenager, we'll call him late teen, early twenties, he

(20:01):
throws everything onto the deck. But then when he's cleaning up,
he sweeps it all under my table out there, on
my table and chairs. So when I go out there afterwards,
I see it's just like mounds of crap under the table.
So what did you think I was? It's a glass table. Scary,

(20:24):
it's a clear glass table. Better did you not think
I would did start under the rugs? He swept all
the gunk under my tail. Okay, So I called Phil
and I go, hey, Phil, are you happy with the job? Well,
the front of the house, I'm happy with. But your
boy in the backs, yeah, I can't believe that. I'll
come back right now. And he came back and he

(20:45):
cleaned it up. But I thought, if this guy doesn't
check his apprentices work right and he hires a punk,
a piece of crap like that, I can't use him again.
So I never used Phil again. So I get a
recommendation for this company to hang the lights. You shall
meet again? Well, no, I got his brother? Was? I

(21:07):
say brother, was Joe? I get Joe on the phone.
I say Joe how much? He says, Now, I told
you the prices last week. Thousands. I said, here's what
I want. I have the lights. What do you do
for me? He says, oh, yeah, yeah your house size,
Yeah yeah, I could do it for one seventy five
and that will include putting it up and taking him

(21:28):
down when you're ready. Oh my god, what yeah? I
go So, and while you're at my house, can you
do the gutters? Sure? Okay? So I give him a
price lower than what I pay. He's like, no problem, great,
can he came today, did an unbelievably good job. Couldn't
be happier. He's got work ethic. He doesn't know that

(21:49):
his brother ever worked with me, or that I ever
used plus huge plus and uh I got myself Holiday light.
The company good for you how about how about that? Congratulations.
I had them do the lights around the garage doors
and the roofline, and then I did I put netting

(22:09):
lights on the on the bushes, and I ran lights
up and down the staircase, the front porch and over
the porch at the top. So it's all lit up,
and uh, you know, my wife came home, she said
it would look great. Really, she's really happy with it.
So I'm really happy with the fact that I didn't
pays for the uh you know, the organized crime package
we have to like, you know, it's it also goes

(22:33):
to show that if you do your research and you
continue to ask for prices that someone is going to
be in your range, you'll find something. And no matter
what the task. I'm late in the season, right so
you know, right now they're just picking up whatever he's
I'm taking whatever I can get. It was like, great, yep,
I go and said that includes taking it down. Yep.

(22:54):
He came with four guys. He didn't just come with
like Larry the Ladder. He didn't just go by himself
up there. He came with four guys and they attacked
the situation. One guy was like, I got the garage
doors all on the extension chords. I got the roof
on the left, you get the roof on the right.
That's fantastic. I could not be happier. Good for you

(23:14):
if the house catches fired tonight. You know, Happy Brody
is a calm Brody. Oh, I got other stories to google,
I would hope so, I mean, after all, and Angry
Brody is a funnier Brodie. I don't like it. I
don't like Happy Brodie where stories just end up in
a nice little bow like this, like okay, yeah, okay, um,
we gotta get Scotty be on the phone so real quick.

(23:37):
You know, this is disgusting when I don't know how
I how I fall into these traps. There's this place
in the city called don Angie. It's an Italian restaurant
they never told me about. They serve superior lasagna these.
In fact, the way that they do it is they
flip it on its side and they serve it. They
serve it like tubular and and it slices like it's

(24:00):
slices like a like a roast beef and all the
but all the layers are in a swirl. It's fantastic.
The way they do it, they're known for it. They've
but opened for five years or so. It is superior.
And I've spoken about this with straight Nate before on
our big show about how great it is not to you. Well,
it's it's not. It's not for you, Brodie, it's not
really Nate Nates from from from the Midwest. Well, if

(24:23):
you know what I'm the slices know what I'm talking about. Oh,
it's expensive, it's bougie, it's very bougie, scary, it's not
for you anyway. Point is if I like it, I
could eat it occasionally. I don't like everything. And by
the way they they I will tell you this um
this place. When you order the lasagna, it's for two

(24:45):
and you still can't finish it the two of you.
That's how much it is. So let me let me
take a guess. Lasagna for two dollars. It's like it's
it's higher than that. But that's what it's irrelevant, Brodie.
What I mean, Well, anyway you're listening to this podcast,
I apologize you're craping all over this. The point of

(25:06):
this is that's what I do. I know. But the
point is this don Angie is a place where you
go to the village to go there and and by
the way again, let me set the stage right now.
It is blizzard outside. Scotty B and Nate stayed in
the city at a hotel, and Nate's like, I'm starving.
I'm starving. I'm starving. I need food for tonight. Okay.
I left the radio station, and then don Angie the

(25:28):
restaurant sends an email because I'm on their marketing list,
and it's just hey, it's a snow day. We're delivering
to you. And I'm thinking, like, oh my god, I'm
gonna get and I'm like, oh wait, I live in
Jersey City. They're not gonna deliver to me. And if
you listen to last week's podcasting nobody, they are certainly
not delivering to me. I'm not gonna make that mistake twice.
So don angye so so I said. I forwarded the

(25:48):
email to Nate and I said, Nate, I'm like, you know,
don Angie the Lasagna, um check this out. Look at
this email they sent me. And then that was the
last I heard of it until Elvis text me about
an hour ago. It says, you're an asshole, scary, and
I'm like, why am I an asshole? He goes, You're
sending my guys out Scotty and Nate in a fucking

(26:09):
blizzard to get lasagna from don Angie. Now, it's great lasagna.
I'll read you the text. Yeah, well I'm not, I paraphrased.
He admitted it's it's it's great lasagna. He loves it too.
But he goes and I said, wait a second, Hold
on a second. I did not send them out for lasagna.
All I did was forward to fucking email to Nate.
How do I get involved in his bullshit? And then

(26:30):
and then ADDIE's cheaper than I am, and I'm not. Well,
we're gonna find out what went on. I don't know who.
He probably didn't even know the price until he got there.
But here's the point. It's a blizzard out and Scotty
b post a video on Instagram because I said to Elvis, well,
why am I an asshole? How do you know about
all this? Look at Scotti The's Instagram. He posts a
video of him and Nate trudging through the fucking snow

(26:51):
in the blizzard with fifinds right now, trying to get
to don Angie to pick up this lasagna. So I
want to know, first of all, why did they have
it to livered? Secondly, why am I getting involved? Scotty
shouted me out in the video. I can't believe it.
He's like, it's scary, loves this lasagna. It's all fu fu.
By the way, his instagram is z Scotty b. I

(27:13):
hope he answers. Did you tell him you're calling? No,
I'm just surprising him. That's what we do. Come on,
Scotty Buck answer always. I'll calling Nate next. Okay, what
do he wrote? Was Nate makes me walk in the
snow for dinner. Yeah, but if you will play the video?
Could you play the video on your Yeah? Sure, hold on, yeah,

(27:35):
play it? Hold on, well, I gotta gotta back it up.
Hold up, you're gonna back that thing up? Back it up?
Oh I can. Oh, I could play it. Oh. Mine
actually will come out much clearer action and making me
walk minutes exactly thirty. I didn't want to tell you

(27:58):
that thirty home. It's snowing pretty good here in New
York City. Nay and I are staying over because very essentials. Yes,
and we're getting it in sentil dinner right now. We're
hungry and apparently this place that we're walking to twenty minutes.
It was minutes, thirty minutes. It was scary, recommended dude,

(28:23):
so good, you gotta get it. They don't. They do deliver.
What are you talking about? All right now? They they
follow over each other. A truck hanks at them, their mess.

(28:43):
They're walking disaster. So Elvis saw that and thought that
I put them up to it. Scotty clearly said, Nate's
making me do this. Say they don't deliver. I have
the marketing email. It says, make us your lasagna for tonight,
will deliver. He's right, I don't understand. Scottie has lived

(29:07):
in Long Island, which is a half hour outside of
manatt forty minutes his whole life, right, Nate's lived in
New York now for seven years. Okay, yes, they both
work in Manhattan. And by the way, they know they
know point A to point B. What that means. That's
what I'm saying. They've had hundreds of days, thousands of

(29:31):
days on the calendar to go to this place they have.
Why did they have to go in a snowstorm to
go to this place? Like if scary, if you said, oh,
that place is great. Put it in your in your
phone and make a No have to agree with them
on this. It's that good. I mean, Nate knows how
great it is. He probably have added a week ago,
but he should have it yesterday. But there, but there

(29:53):
wasn't gonna be a time with the two and they're
gonna stay in the city again, you see. And and
by the way, they do know the distance between the
in Manhattan, the neighborhoods. They know it's in the West Village.
Hold on, they know it's in the village, the West Village.
Maybe they're all lovers. They know it's in the West Village,
and they know that they're their hotels in Tribeca. So

(30:13):
my point is, why would you fucking dude that that
walk is thirty minutes on a good day, and it's
an eight minute uber ride if you can get one.
It's not a long car ride. Or truthfully, they could
have taken the train. Were taking the train half calling
him again, they could have they could have taken well,
they know they wouldn't want to take the train. They

(30:35):
would have. They should have caved it like like I
would have done. I don't know. Yeah, you don't walk, No,
fun that just jumping an uber support small business cabs
and ubers. They're probably eating right now, they probably just
got back. That's probably walking in the snow and they
don't hear the phone. Well, I'm gonna have to call

(30:59):
Nate's phone next. Oh, Nate's never gonn answer his phone. Oh,
he'll answer for me. He doesn't. Really, Can I tell something?
You're the only one he doesn't answer for Yeah, I
sent him. I sent him an email two weeks ago.
I sent him a follow up email that said, hey,
just follow him up on this email. Nothing nothing. You

(31:24):
don't want to respond to the first. Next time, have
me follow up for you. Okay, I'm calling meat. I'll
tell him a Talian restaurant by the hotel. He won't
have to go walk in thirty minutes and the snow.
I really hope the answer. I really do. I need
to know what the hell went on here? How did
I get and how did I get blamed? How did
you recommended it? But how am I the victim of

(31:45):
Elvis's wrath? Like all of a sudden, he's like texting
me like that's not cool. I get the impression they're
gonna talk about this on the Morning Show Thursday morning.
You think so tomorrow morning, I think so. Your call
had been into by the time here this podcast, The
Morning Shore will have already happened. Yeah, unless you're like
shitty Jew Mobster or Jenevic. Guys, by the way, shady

(32:11):
Jew Mobster came to your jingle Ball viewing party Thursday night. Yes,
he did want to say that his name. Don't think
he wants people to know that. It's the first name.
We all have them. I don't think he is he
fucking like Kanye Like's real name is in Jenevic. He's

(32:33):
just Jenevic. What are you talking about? Willis? Okay, that's
the worst worst Gary Coleman ever. But it's what you're
talking about, Willis? But what what are you talking about?
These guys have names. Why can't they see their name? Okay? Okay, child, Child,

(32:55):
Well maybe sometime before this podcast is over, Scotty Beale
called me back. All right, I got a couple more
holiday things. Can I run by? You? Go for it?
Going to answer and interrupt you? Okay? Last week I
talked about Daniells and you posting on Instagram a Minora
that was actually a Canara. Right, three days later Walmart,

(33:17):
I'm gonna put this on my Instagram. Walmart sends out
a tweet right and it is um. They went to
a lot of effort. You know how you can um
like they did rose and rose and rows of of
They did a row of one, one candle in the middle,
skip to the next line, did candles across, and then

(33:38):
skip the line right and did a row of blue diamonds,
another roll blue diamond and blue diamonds, and then like
two little short rows to look like a stem, and
then a row on the bottom. So they did a lot.
They put a lot of effort into into making graphics
on Twitter to look like a hanaka. Minora me. Uh, listen,

(34:00):
when you think of Walmart, you don't think Jews. That's
not where you would go for your koash of food. Definitely,
what are you going to see a large amount of
Jewish people shopping that the religious people. It's it's typically
not associated with Judaic customs, but I appreciate them trying. However,

(34:23):
they went to all his trouble to tweet out happy
Hanuka because they used the H before the H which
is kanka k. But again they put seven candles total,
not nine, so they funked up the minorah because nobody
thought to google it. Well, asking Scotty's texted me, uh,

(34:45):
callin now, okay, here is oh he's calling me yo. Hey,
hold on a second. Here we got you. You're on
the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Jesus Christ. Yeah, welcome to a
real podcast. So okay, we'll get back to the Manora
conversation in a second, folks, No, I want it, just Scotty.

(35:07):
Walmart tweeted out a happy Hanukah and they used they
used um like emoji and candle emojis. You saw that, right,
six candles. They're not the only ones. A lot of
people do that because they have no clue. Right, Instagram
did it? Instagram search for Minora? Right? But Scott, seriously,
is there any place on the planet that is less

(35:29):
Jewish than Walmart? No? You know, I was never in
a Walmart until I was probably twenty seven or twenty eight. Well,
in fairness, there were no Walmart's in our area, right,
and I concur by the way, I have never been
in one since in my teens at all. Yeah, I
mean like Walmart was different before now Walmart it was,

(35:49):
it was much different twenty years ago. It wasn't that
you know, the one that you see a Walmart? Now,
I go in Walmart all the time anyway, So but
it's not. No. I guess I get serial there for
the podcast. Oh yeah, crunch ladies and gentlemen. Scotty be
from the Serial Killers podcast. Scotty, did you helpen up
that email I sent you? No? I was in the shower,

(36:10):
you guys called me. No, no, no, I sent it
to you two days ago. Oh no, I didn't. I
haven't click on ta okay, I need you to click
on it. It's not spam, it's not porn. It's a
funny serial review show I wanted you to see. Okay, alright,
so we're talking about that aside. Um, we want to
get to the bottom of what's been going on here

(36:30):
for the last hour or two. I we set up
with our slices already where you guys went and I
we talked about we played your video audio on the
air just now. So, So did you end up at
Donna ang a B. How is the lasagna? And see
why didn't you get it delivered? Our first three before

(36:52):
you get a minus a minus? Did you go there
thinking you could eat there? No? Okay, Hey, hey, yes,
we went up going there a minus. Of course, not
even if we could. I never would uh in dining
closed on Monday. If they know that, they're very well aware.
Not even I wouldn't. I wouldn't eat anyway. He was
not going to eat inside, So continue, not a chance,

(37:14):
not a chance, right, I forgot what he was. Well,
what did you it was? Okay, I wouldn't order it again. Really, okay,
we'll get that because you know what it is. Because
it was because it was sausage. It wasn't beef. That's
what's in there, lasagna. And I'm not a huge fan
of sausage, especially when it's very tempery. So okay, and

(37:35):
good lasagna has beef and sausage. Okay, Well for Scotty,
he's he didn't prefer but but okay, I never, I never.
I never seen lasagna like this. And it was like
pin wheels. You know, that's not that's just that's just
rolls of pasta. All I did. All I did was
was was sending it a marketing email I got from
the restaurant that says we're delivering, we're delivering to you

(37:56):
tonight and the blizzard. Well, the answer for see is.
Nate said, I called them. They don't deliver, so we
gotta pick it up. Let's go get the truck. I'm like,
I'm not taking the truck out of the snow. Let's walk.
He said, It's like, go ahead. Why didn't you uber
or take the subway halfway? Well, because I'm not going
in a dirty subway and I'm not going in a

(38:17):
dirty uberg. So there you go. Okay, you know what,
they fumigate the subways every six hours or something. I
think you know they don't. They do it every night.
And I don't think this was your idea to walk
in a blue show. No. His Nate side, He's like,
come on, let's go pick it up. And I was like,
all right, I don't care. I like walk. I used
to walk from the radio station, which is like people,

(38:40):
I get no problem walking in the snow. I don't
mind it alas I had the proper protected all right,
At any point you in in the evening before you left,
didn't it a car to you that the restaurant will
always be there and you can go a different night
to get that food. That this is already restaurants, they
already ordered it. I would have at the restaurant the
hotel here, I would have ordered from it. He ordered already,

(39:00):
he was. He was like, I'm paying for it, and
they make me feel bad. He was paying for it.
It's for freeds from me. Scottie, b and Bronier together.
Brownie would walked an hour and a half in the Star.
I said to Scott, I said to Scary, I said, uh,
if it was really good, I would pay I said,
if it's expensive, how much is it? Thirty five dollars?
He's just higher. I said, there's no white Scott he

(39:22):
would pay that for lasagna. So now that things it
was more than it was more than it had to
be more than that. Where that's lasagna, that's called lasagna
for two? My friend there was there. I could have
eaten the whole thing myself. Yeah, lasagna for two. If
you like food, food and bougie, we'll have another. Well anyway, okay,
So Elvis thinks that I put you guys up to

(39:45):
going out there to get this lasagna. Meanwhile you're slipping
all over the place. Go to ze Scottie be on
Instagram and just to see this charade. I mean, you did.
You were the one. That's why once the game, I
forwared him a marketing now as a suggestion, I said, hey,
I know you're hungry, and I know you love this
place because he does. I said they'd delivering tonight. That's

(40:07):
gonna be honest, he me, because first of all, I
never ever, ever would take a scary suggestion ever, So
if I didn't know it was, I didn't know that
it was. I didn't know it was a scary thing
until we were halfway walking. So and then I was like, oh,
here we go, and you know, and look it was.
And even that, even the weed salad wasn't terrible. I
don't really like weeds for salad, but this one was

(40:29):
not that bad. I'm not. It's it's actually has the
white stuff, the white cheese on it. Right, it's weeds.
I like iceberg lettuce with two cumbers and tomatoes. This
is like weed muscle in and all that. That Scotty,
that's my salad. My salad is iceberg lettuce, cucumbs, no skin,
and tomato. Yeah that's it. Yeah, that's that's all it

(40:49):
needs to be. So was it cold by the time
he got back to the hotel. Slices cumbers, Yeah, well
they're light green. They're very light on the end. I'm mean,
like its white almost so yeah, yeah it was. It
was room temperature. Attacks when we got back, it was
a little bit chilly, but we ate it, you know,
because she didn't want to go in an uber because

(41:11):
you had to walk there and it was already ordered.
But wait a second, the email, see this is where
I brought you would have gotten free dessert. The email
clearly says that they were delivering tonight. So were you
guys out of the delivery zone? Was that? I don't know.
Here's what I think. Called the restaurant and the restaurant
itself was not delivering. And he's like, I felt bad

(41:31):
because I don't like going through the third party because
then the restaurants it was their cut in the sat
in the other so I think they didn't even bother.
Which I was going to say the drubhubb seamless. He didn't.
He didn't he felt bad or he just ordered correctly.
He called the restaurant order directly, of course, did not
going to deliver. Yeah a minute, wait a minute, Wait
a minute. Did the marketing email say we now deliver

(41:52):
through a service or did the marketing emails say we deliver,
asking me I didn't do it. I have the email
right here, pull it up right now. Oh my god.
Look at the end of the day. At the end
of the day, the food was decent. But it's the
kind of place where I would never go back unless
somebody else's pay right, h listen, go to Italian food

(42:14):
is reasonably priced and abundant. Abudonza Albudonza. Yeah, what's that?
Is it your favorite airline? You guys are starting to
cut into my go in a sleep time, Like when
I get to sing in the city for I'm in
bed at eight o'clock. Well, you have a three minute commute,
It doesn't matter. I still gotta get up, right, would

(42:36):
I get next to a a half hour or three? Feel? Okay?
So here, by the way, here is the yeah, by
the way, here's the here's the graphic. Don angie, our
lasagna comes to you outdoor dining closed this evening, but
delivery is up and running. Order online now and when
you click the link, it goes to toast tab. That's

(43:00):
the delivery to toast all right, Yeah, but it goes
right into it, so you will have he called Well anyway,
was it was? It? I feel bad because I put
I don't know. Well, I know I shouldn't feel bad.
Elvis made me feel bad for no reason to be
quite honest. But anyway, truth from that truth be told.

(43:21):
You guys got amazing lasagna lukewarm. You don't think it
was worth it because it had sausage in it, and
you wouldn't but it was first. I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
I wouldn't do that lasagna again. I don't want. I
weren't like like your mom with me didn't Yeah, normal
normal lasagna. Didn't like Yeah, he said it was pretty good. Yeah,
it was good. But I mean, like, look, I like,

(43:45):
I like, I like pizza placelas on you you know, yes,
it should be it should be rectangular pasta. Exc we're
going to cheese, meat sauce pasta. Repeat. You guys are
so simple. Some some melted cheese brown. Maybe on is
blackened at the top. You know, I'm probably place we

(44:06):
went it is a Michelin Star. Yeah you know what
Scott this is. You won't you won't get this reference
because you don't listen in order. But Michelin Star Italian
food is like going to Stacy's Pizza all right, you
want to you want to go to Italian restaurant. You
want to get four stars from Vinnie. You don't want
Michelin French chefs telling you what good restaurants are for slices.

(44:29):
Don't listen to Brody. He's seriously, it's a Michelin star rated.
What does a tire company know about food? That granted
the tire guys fat. He must be eating something. Yeah,
he actually looks like a lasagna from that place. I
am not a fan of Italian restaurants that try to

(44:51):
reinvent where they It is a pillows of it's more
of a deconstructed lasagna. All right, you know what, all right,
I'm done, Gottie, go to bed. I mean, I'm pissed,
and you will plug your podcast while you're at it.
Anything you want, what are you because that's what we do.
That's what we do now because it's easier for us.
It's easier. It's like, that's like saying taco bell is

(45:13):
deconstructed cheeseburger. It's not the same thing. He gives a
deconstructed and call it lasagna because it's in a role
like a paoli, like a tube. It's a tube of lasagna.
You know what our listeners have sophistication in class. Google,
donn none of your listeners. Hey, hey, hey, do your

(45:36):
listeners eat Cereal? Well? Sereal killers everywhere everywhere you get
your podcasts, you want to tease something about them. They're
not on that Cereal with the seed. Yes, serial and
serial killers? And what are we promoting on serial killers?
What are we eating on the next Actually, we're gonna

(45:58):
review Cereal, the brand new chocolate Ego Cereal that just
came out. That happened like that. Okay, alright, alright that
I gotta go, Thank you, love you, alright, Scotty, I
told you he wouldn't pay for that ship. He got
it on the arm, you know, told you. I bet
you the company was paying tonight because it's a snow day.

(46:19):
It all makes sense to me now. By the way,
you gotta call Nate out tomorrow. When he told Scotty
he's treating, He's not treating. You know, I just thought
of that. You know, you don't when you're on the
on the company dime, you don't pay for meals and
you'll pay for the seventy five lasagna there it is.

(46:39):
That's why you save it on commutant tolls. Oh, Nate
just texted me back because I had it was great
going to bed now for the purpose just say, oh
it was. It was a long cold walk anyway, all right,
he claimed it. By the way, all this time, he

(46:59):
told he's been telling me that he's been wanting to
go there because of my hype about it. I've I
was the one who hyped it up. So he just
told me that he's never had it before. I'm reading
his text, so he's never So he actually has always
wanted don Angie lasagna and he never had the lasagna.
So um. It was so the fact that okay, I

(47:24):
thought he he ate it once. I guess he didn't.
All right, well, you know he he values my opinion.
You know why, Bertie, because I know good food. Okay, Okay,
I know great food. And that's that's Angie with an
E A N G I E. If you listen the
slices go to their instagram on don Angy, go take
a look at the pictures of what we're talking about,

(47:45):
and and none of you slices. I'm the man of
the people, Okay. As a man of the people, my slices.
You know, guys, you know, you're some of you live
in parts of the country where you don't ate lasagna
all the time. Lasagna is not like a big deal
where you from. But if you're from a city with
a lot of time people in, lasagna is like a thing.
I mean, I'll have gone lasag. I mean like lasagna.

(48:06):
You gotta get some lasagna. You're gonna look at this
picture and go walk off. Fuck, are you kidding me?
Cheese Burger pizza calling it a cheese, but the taste
not a cheese. Another commercial break, and then we gotta
do I gotta talk about Advent, Caldy. We're gonna do
that right after this. You really are count calendars. So

(48:33):
first of all, as a Jew, in case you didn't
know that, I never knew what an ad calendar was.
I thought it had something to do with that. What
is it? The Seven Day ventis, yes, the spelling is different.
I don't know. I just I always thought it was
something very very Christian, very Christmas. I don't know what
it was. Then someone told me it's a countdown to Christmas.

(48:54):
I'm like, all right, well you count down a Christmas
on a regular calendar. I don't know, so I I never,
I never, It never occurred to me to look into it.
I don't know. About five six years ago, everyone in
my family is getting advent calendars. Really, somebody on Gandhi
got me Advent calendar superhero socks like, I don't understand.
It's just the box of twelve stocks. What do you

(49:14):
mean advent calendar? By the way, I do, I don't
know as of this moment, I don't know what an
advent calendar is. Well, it comes from the Latin word
for a rival. Okay, adventists. Okay, but you're not telling,
which means non Christians can say, well, I'll read it
to you. Hold on, I'll give you the exact This
is one of those politically correct calendars. Is that what

(49:36):
this is? No? No, no, no no. What's an advent calendar?
I was today years old when I found out when
advent calendar is. We're learning together slices. Okay, hold on,
By the way, you can always email us at the
Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. Okay's a season
of advent okay, okay. The final days the same year,

(49:59):
to say, the final day Christmas Eve. So the day
of Jesus's birth is when it starts, so it's a
week removed. It's basically the same calendar, except it starts
on it starts different days. There's different lengths to the advent,
the period of adventure. I'm not going to read it. Basically,
I'm gonna give you a short version. You guys can

(50:20):
google it if you want to get into the religious aspect.
Some of the history of it started in Germany for
little kids, but basically it was the use of the calendar.
But then to build up anticipation, people would get presents
every day of the calendar. So now like, for instance,
my wife got a chocolate one. Every night she opens

(50:42):
a little door, so it's a it's a it's a
giant box where I think eighteen doors, maybe a twelve
door four, I don't know, whatever it is this year, whatever,
I don't know. You can get them at different lengths
of days, and every night she opens the door and
takes out gourmet chocolate. Okay, but you can do like

(51:04):
every day you open up and get a Lego Star Wars. Dude,
I'll eat the whole month in one sitting. I know
you would. Yeah. Yeah, So you have a different treat
or a different present every day. You can get whatever
like you get. You can get a New York Mets
Advent calendar. By the way, them presents I get. I
guess you could just get a calendar calendar. How long

(51:26):
is the Advent calendar? I just told you it's usually
twelve days. But don't by the way, don't tweet me.
I know I'm awfu a little bit. But you can
buy like an eighteen day one. I understand. Okay, now
it's making sense. But there's the actual Advent calendar. Again
not being a Christian, uh, it's I'll read I can
read it. I'm sure there's a Jewish one for Hanaka

(51:46):
that's eight days and eight days. It's it's it's called
Hanakahn if you pre but if the calendar you maybe
have eight little compartments for presents in each. Am I
envisioning this right? And it says your Advent Calendars were
adapted time in the nineteenth century by German Lutherans as
a way to mark the days of the season leading
up to Christmas. By the early twentieth century, Callen's will

(52:08):
being manufactured and published in Germany aimed at the lighting
kids during the holidays delightful like so so I wanted
to get one this year they were both sold out.
One was Bailey's Irish Cream at Vent calendar. So every
day you get a different flavor of Irish cream like
that like a flight, right, what's it? Man, crate man?

(52:29):
Create had a twenty four days of beef jerky at
Van Calndar. Yeah, now you're talking different flavors of or
you get like different hot sauces. Love it. But here's
the thing. It's really a scam because it's the look.
If you enjoy the gimmick of it, that's fine, but
you're paying like fifty dollars for four dollars worth of
hot sauce. Right, but it's tied up in a nice

(52:52):
bundle with a story getting the little bottles. It's the
must be a description about it, right about each one? Yeah,
fucking jerked me off. It's the first date of the
first Sunday of Advent. It varies, falling between seven and

(53:14):
December three inclusive. Many Advent calendars, especially those that are reusable,
often begin on December one, although those that are are
produced for God, we can get it. Yeah anyway, So
I think get an Advent calendar because I didn't realize
that the year that my family was all going to
buy the ones they like for themselves, and then they're like,
and so my fault. My wife says to me in November,

(53:36):
you should pick out an advent calendar of yourself. Pick
out one you like better than you at least it's
better than the page day calendars, because those are just
going the garbage. And by January seven, I stopped ripping
off the pages and I'm done with the jokes, and
it's in my fucking pale by March, I know, and
you know what, that's a very popular uh intern leaving
the company gift for me? What did they give you?

(53:56):
The page day calendars? Yeah? I get the page and
day grammar correct action, page day jokes, page day Jewish Isms,
page day Mets facts. January four, January four. That's it.
I'm out of the calendar every day. Right, you're not
at your desk. We don't have like desk jobs, so

(54:18):
it's not like you like because what happened, you know
what happens February fifteenth. You look at it and you go, oh,
it still says January four, Yeah, fuck it, and you
put it away. Then you keep it for a year.
March ye, right, Well, you keep it till because what
happens is like with interns. You know, you have the
interns that their interns from January. You don't want to

(54:39):
show them away. No January to May, right, And then
you have the ones who are the summer, which is
like May two in August. Then you have September to December. Well,
if it's September to December, one's gave you the calendar.
Some of my interns I invite back for second semester,
you best make sure they gave me the calendar and

(55:00):
invite them back. I gotta keep the calendar until at
least the end of May now, and I gotta keep
up on it. So I actually one semester had another
intern ripped the pages for me so the further intern
wouldn't notice I wasn't keeping up. Hilarious, how about that?
How about that? But the Advent calendar I like because
it comes with a little treat it's still it's still
reeks of you smell that they they got you, They

(55:23):
got you, smells like a Oh, I have a funny
story for you. Is it a scamboni? Well, it's related
to the scamboni of of of of your and then
we have some sound to play. We have some sound
of play. But I also want to talk about Oh,
I want to talk about what you and I did
tonight at four o'clock. Okay, we'll do that. But let's

(55:46):
all right, let's see me thoughts. You want to read
something about a scamboni, go for it. Well, it wasn't
about a scamboni. It was a very funny I want
to say. It was a tweet. I had the music
there for you. That was just kind sam it kind of.
I don't have a scamboni. I had a story that
I can't find now. A story told me check my story.

(56:08):
I don't that's not me story of hope. No, let
me see if I can find it. It was a
tweet from somebody who said that every time um jam on,
it comes on. Yeah, girlfriend sing scamboni, scamboni. Yeah, that
was here. It is uh a J McClure at the boys.

(56:30):
Is this what he's doing now? No, I was in
the garage tonight throwing darts with the wife. Wait a minute,
I was throwing I was in the garage tonight throwing
darts with the wife. Now does that mean he's throwing
his wife at the dartboard. The way he wrote it
was funny and jam on. It came on the Alexa.
Guess what I sang l Slice for Life Scamboni, and

(56:54):
then he wrote hashtag did your banger bang? We have
we have somebody who's actually can testing us in the
grammar department, Brody. I don't like this. I don't play
the grammar police jingle because I got a couple of
grammar police. Police Police. This comes to us from Phoenix

(57:17):
the Brooklyn Boys Podcast at gmail dot com. Hey guys,
I love the podcast, love the big show fifteen minutes,
show you guys are on and everything that you guys
do for I heard anyway, and I'm usually behind and
binge each one until I get caught up. Well, while
I'm finally taking time to write, I have to grammar

(57:39):
police the both of you, because I cringe every time
I hear you say it. I am the ultimate grammar police.
This guy's like a fucking lieutenant. I even piste off
my thirty year old son recently because he sent me
something he wrote and I had to correct every mistake
and send it back. Saying screen shotted is not appropriate.

(58:04):
It should simply be screenshot. We say that. Apparently screenshot
is appropriate for both present and past tense, just like
shot is both both past and present. I will admit
that I didn't even think shot it was a word
at all, but it happens to be. Before putting my
foot in my mouth, I wanted to make sure I

(58:24):
was right. Like Brody, I am never wrong, so I
googled shot it and even checked Urban Dictionary to make
sure it hadn't been added, and I wasn't aware. I
was surprised it is actually a word, but not one
definition I found referred to taking a picture of a screen.
I am a truck driver. I found The Big Show
because of the phone taps a few years ago. Absolutely

(58:46):
love it. Thankfully, Elvis is always late, so i'd hear
the part of the show. Okay, Then he goes into
why he loves the show. Um, he Brody's amazing and
pissent people off. I love Michaeloppenheimer. That's my character. Yeah yeah,
Oh and Rod Roddy. That would be Rod Phillips, my
collection of of CDs that I sell. All right, Uh,

(59:08):
all right, we'll stop right there because the email continues.
Do you want to respond to screenshott versus screen shot.
So I'm looking up multiple web pages. Um that all
say screenshot is acceptable, but not the first hold on,
I am also looking at now Merriam Webster dot com. Oh,

(59:30):
the source, the authority, the past, tense of the verb screenshot,
to screenshot something now screenshot as a noun correct, But
to take a screenshot. The forms of the verbs are screenshotted,
screens shotting, and screenshots. What about screens charting? That's correct?

(59:54):
So it's like photo shopped. You can photoshop something, but
something and can have been photo shopped. So yes, you
take a screenshot. Something has been screenshot, but it's also
it has been screenshotted. You can. You can say it
either way. I'm sure of it, and I just looked

(01:00:15):
it up for ships and giggles and giggles. Now I
would like you scary. I have not discussed this with you.
When you want to say something and then say or
the or the complete opposite, what term do you use
when you want to say, you know, I could do
that or the complete opposite with a V? Well, I

(01:00:38):
can do I can what term I can swim? No
no no versus verse verse no no no no verse
no not different than the term for the exact opposite
the antonym of that. The V is what what expression?

(01:01:02):
I'll give you a hint. It's two words. And the
second word is versa. Oh, vice versa. Yesterday on the
phone with me, you said vice versa. Did I say
vice versa? You said vice versa, vice versa. No, that
was a mistake. It is vice versa. You're correcting my grammar.
I see you just said it is vice versa. No,

(01:01:24):
it's vice versa. No, No, it's vice versa. But you
said it just now. You said vice versa. But I
meant to say the vice versa of that. Right, But
yesterday you said vice versa, vice versa. You did? You
said it? Okay, now you know you know words that
um when you put them together, their definition actually means

(01:01:47):
what they are, like a part, right, when you, when you,
when you, when you? When you want to be a
part of something? Right, eight parts. It's the opposite, it's
the opposite of a part. Okay, sometimes you can't put Now,
I'm gonna say to you right now, scary. This word,
at this point in life probably should be a word,

(01:02:07):
but to this day it's not a word. You posted
on Instagram, what wrong you wrote. Our guest Astra on
air has a lot to say about this scary what'd
you right? Okay? That was? That was Instagram fucking me
up when I when I was putting the leathers together. Yes,
I wrote a lot as one word, a l. But
it's not it's not a word. It's a lot. Right now,

(01:02:32):
if someday they want to make a lot of word,
I won't be around to see it will be a
hundred years of Its gonna be a long time, well
a long time. It's They added some other stupid words
Dictionary recently. They ridiculous, ridiculous. You know what they added,
ain't I'm not living that down ever, that's not a word.
There was that made me scratch my head. Irregardless they

(01:02:53):
added irregardless. I think, yeah, no, I don't know something
similar anyway. Can I tell you really quickly about Rudy
Marino And he sent us a text shop write masks
undernose idiots. So he's pissed because he goes to shop
right at six am. There's a bin of turkeys cents

(01:03:14):
per pound. Also in the bin are breasts always more expensive?
So I asked the employee in the butcher area let's
call her Stacey. Is the forty nine cent is the
forty nine cents per pound for everything in this bin?
Mind you? I go at six am because I don't
want to be exposed to COVID and she looks at

(01:03:36):
me with her fucking masks securely strapped under her chin
and says she was ready. Chin diaper. I have no idea.
I call it chin diaper. Chin diapers when you wear
it on your chin and it doesn't cover your mouth either. No,
it was under her chin, it was it was, she says,
I have no idea. Wow, real helpful. At six Sam, so,

(01:03:58):
I said, sorry, I thought you worked in the butcher section.
She says in the nastiest fucking tone. I do. Now
I'm marinating. I'm marinating, fuming. So I walk away and say,
and by the way, slices, we do not condone this.
I guess that mask is to catch the come dripping
off your chin. Oh no, no, no, no, don't say that.

(01:04:23):
Don't do that. Don't say that. Don't do that. If
you could, you could think it, but don't say it.
What did they say after that? Did they respond? And
he just he just wrote true story. Boys, this is
Rudy telling his story of six am in the Turkey Isle. Rudy, Rudy,
I'm gonna say no, that's not that's not good. Um.

(01:04:46):
That was verbally abusive. Um. There's a way, here's a listen.
If you want to be a Karen and call the
manager and say, look, your employees, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's
not a Karen. That's a concerned citizen. Karen's call managers.
Not no, not Karen's call managers. Maybe he's a Ken.
I don't know, whatever it is. If you want to

(01:05:06):
inform her superior you're saving lives, that's not a Karen.
Move whatever. Karen wants to see the manager because she
refuses to wear a mask. And then the point, but
she was nasty to him moreover, yes, she wasn't she
was like in the wrong, she was tripli in the
wrong right because she was she didn't have the mask on.
But she also anything and she was nasty. She's not

(01:05:29):
she's not a good customer service. But she didn't say
you know what, I don't know. I'll find out is
what she should have said. That's what she should have done.
But because she was nasty and rude, he could have
gotten retaliation in other ways not call her names, and
he could have thrown yeah, Rudy, I don't I don't agree,
or a frozen turkey. I don't agree or condone with

(01:05:50):
what you said. Uh. It caught my eye in the emails,
and I wanted to in the email. All right, all right, um,
you and I were on the Uh. I don't want
to call anybody out, so I'm not gonna name names.
We were on the our companies holiday zoom call, right,

(01:06:12):
all of us, about a hundred and fifty people, and
they held raffles. So all of the raffles were one
hundred and then three more digits. So at some point
they stopped reading the hundred because everything was zero thousand, right, okay,
if you have number, let's say two thirty five, that's

(01:06:33):
your raffle. We and our boss, one of our boss
is the big bosses, was reading the numbers out. Uh,
we're giving away Echo Amazon, Echo doth dots right, Uh,
number four thirties six, Okay, if you had it, he
was supposed to type in the chat room it was

(01:06:54):
you and then okay. Because this was all virtual, we
were on Microsoft Teams and it was a chat there
was a chat bar on the side, and if you
want to yell out I won, I won, but you
really just to type it, type it in, like hey,
it's me, it's me right. It was one person, maybe
two that felt the need every time he called that

(01:07:16):
a number to tell everyone how close they were right
that fourth six. Oh I had four sixty three, So
what it's no closer than one's still off, You're not
one away. You didn't almost get it. There's a bowl
full of cards and your card wasn't pulled right again, Um,

(01:07:42):
three sixty three. It was just just was a one
number four. Yeah. Yeah, A few people were doing that.
I was. It was every time. First of all, I
guess what, there's a hundred and fifty of us, scary
how many people care. First of all, nobody nobody cares
that you came close because we're all losing, we're all miserable,

(01:08:06):
but nobody cares it. And also the odds note were
a hundred fifty one on every on that poll. And
then if he calls four sixty four and you've got
four sixty three, you can go missed it by one? Okay, fine,
But she was like, oh I missed it by nine.
If your numbers, if you reverse the numbers, I would

(01:08:31):
have won. Okay, but that's not a thing. You don't
get half the money for diverse numbers. You don't get
half the prize. Nobody's gonna like, oh, Mary, he's gonna
feel number. Mary, I'd reverse a week from now, Mary,
tough break on those reverse numbers. People do it for
thirty six, it was four sixty three, and you you

(01:08:53):
would just reversed numbers away nobody. Nobody gives a funk, Mary,
Nobody cares about your numbers. Oh why can't And then
you did it. You're like, can't you call some numbers
in the two hundreds? Well that was clearly because okay, no,
no folded. No, No, here's where that's a problem, because

(01:09:17):
because no, no, here's why. Okay. If then let's say
that the range was zero to four hundred, it's very,
very weird that all the numbers in the three hundred
ranges were called the one hundreds, the zeros, two hundreds,
the four hundreds. He called maybe in the in the
the first thirty numbers, he must have called maybe two

(01:09:39):
numbers in the two hundreds, Which leads me to believe
that when people put what when when the the person
who put the raffles in put them in, they just
threw them all in, all in in in order, right,
and they just one to whatever because when they ripped
the number off, they just do it. And he didn't
mix the ball properly, and his hand had muscle memory

(01:10:00):
and was reaching into the same part of the bull
was the threes and the ones he was not he was.
So I said, you're discriminating against the twos. And then
people were onto that in the chat room. They're like, yeah,
fucking pull the twos, mixed the bag up, do something,
shake it up. Whenever you do that, put your hands
somewhere else in the bowl, just to get a different

(01:10:22):
because let's face, these raffle tickets they all cling together,
so you know that you capping the call the bunch
in the same No, that's just af that's just afi tickets,
a hundred tickets or in a bowl. And you think
he's missing them deliberately. I think, you know, I think
because his hand is not going in the right spot.
His hand has to go where, you know, or they

(01:10:43):
have to mix the ball up because everything was was
fucking put put in in order, you know, from number
to order. All right, you know I'm not gonna argue
with you on this, Okay, but pick some two hundreds
as if he could figure out without looking to pick
some two hundreds. He has no control. Sold. That was
also just me. That was more more of a wish.
That was more picks of two hundreds. Please, like, please

(01:11:06):
let the next one be a two hundred. So but
scary they picked three oh two. It ends in it
two if they just reverse the numbers. No, that's stupid,
that's stupid. All right, what are we doing here, Brody?
You You're like, we only have to we should only
do a forty minute podcast. We've been on for an
hour in tench A couple of things. Fantasy football, in
the in the league. I've been talking about the money
league with the Classic Rock people. I lost this week.

(01:11:29):
I'm out, You're done. I'm out. You know why because
because Julio Jones can't keep his hamstring on the field,
because Antonio Gibson heard his leg right, So my one
of my best running backs and my top wide receiver,
they're out. They're out, Jerry. So I'm putting in. I'm
putting people off to wave a wire. Scrubs are limping

(01:11:51):
onto my roster and I still only lost pay eight
points because my team is that good. But I didn't win.
You don't. I'm out? Are we we have some sound?
We have some sound? Oh let's talk about the former governor?
We do? Okay? Yeah, play the clip for the former governor.
Now I've talked about this. This man is it was
a grand est state. He's a senator down but he

(01:12:12):
but he used to be a governor. Listen to you
tell me, scary what is wrong? Go ahead, I know
how important assistant? What was he he said? He said,
I was a former governor. I was a former governor.
But you no longer a former government Now you're always
a former governor. You're just unless you become governor. Again,

(01:12:33):
You're not right. You are presently a former governor. So
it's not like you were or you were a governor.
Was a former governor? Did they take the tile away
from you? Did you lose it? Violate the law and
they took the governorship away from you? Okay? What else
you franchise? Oh for okay, no, save that one for last.

(01:12:54):
And we're gonna end the year on franchise clip. That
will be the clip you will know maybe the most
painful commercial for me I've ever heard, and you'll know.
Why is it to be continued? Moment? Is gonna be
a cliffhanger. No, you'll hear it. You'll go, oh my god,
how do you tolerate it? Okay? What else you got? Coronavirus? No?
What else you got after? That's okay? So I want
you to hear this is This is Katie Turr on

(01:13:16):
the news. I'm a fan of, like a very much
bright woman's pretty hot. Yeah, breaking news. She left out
a very important word and makes the story sound horrific,
like why would you be filming this? I'm still talking, Okay,
I'll play it. Breaking news. We've been showing this throughout

(01:13:37):
the hour. New York City healthcare workers, frontline healthcare workers
getting the coronavirus at NYU lengd Go in hospital. What what?
Why would you show people getting the virus? She left
She left out the word vaccine. Of course she's the story.
It's the biggest story in the country yesterday, stop a vaccine. Well,

(01:14:01):
maybe she didn't read the teleprompter, or maybe the teleprompter
forgot writer forgot the word vaccine. It's that simple, honest, mistake.
We've been showing this throughout the hour New York City
healthcare workers, frontline healthcare workers getting the coronavirus at NYU
let go in hospital. And by the way, a little

(01:14:21):
little interesting thing about the vaccine, because I see a
lot of people commenting on social media they're not going
to take it. They're afraid will make them sick. That okay,
So you know the flu vaccine has a little bit
of flu in it, and it's right. The coronavirus vaccines
do not have coronavirus in them. They do not know.
I know that they have a protein, regular old protein,

(01:14:45):
right that tells your body your right to create the
thing that would fight coronavirus. But it's brilliant in the
fact it doesn't have coronavirus in it. So if you're
worried and you're like, I'm not gonna put that in
my body, what if I get it, there's none in
it on either on any of them. What are they

(01:15:07):
called our r d NA m r N A m
r N A right, it's a type of vaccine that
means it's not there's no coronavirus in the vaccine. So French, okay, okay,
do we want to do, we want to We'll end
it this way. This is gonna we're gonna end well,
first of all, no, well we'll talk after this. We'll

(01:15:28):
talk after this. But this is a commercial. You've heard
these commercials. Hey open up a franchise, right, you want

this is That's been our year, folks. This is it.
That's what I want to say. Thank you for sticking
with us through a pandemic, through us broadcasting from my
basement and Scary's Bachelor pad Uh, listening to us talk

(01:19:45):
about things that we didn't do and moment of reflection
here we didn't know in March when the pandemic hit
how we were gonna put out episodes of the Brooklyn
Boys podcast. We really thought we were just going to
maybe put it on High EIGHTUS. Then we spoke about, well,
maybe we'll meet in the studio when no one's around
and sit twelve ft apart. And and then somehow, somehow

(01:20:10):
it came together. And and I know, those first few
weeks were rough because we didn't have a whole lot
to talk about. We were in true lockdown. I hate
the word lockdown. Don't lock me down, don't you dare um?
But and then and then later on we were like, okay, well,
well some of the equipment sounds fuzzy or weird, and
we've made improvements along the way. But I I bought
two microphones. The first one is just sitting there on

(01:20:32):
the little table here in the basement. Uh. I got
a boom arm attached to a snack table. Yeah, a
little little table here. I would say. The whole thing
cost me. Let's see, it was twenty dollars for the arm.
Uh dollars on for the arm. Elvis brought me the microphone.
The other microphone was forty So for like fifty dollars,

(01:20:54):
I got little home studio here. Let's not talk about
let's not talk about mine, but I will say, but mine,
So it does a lot of a lot of the legwork,
and you know mine is the you know, we wouldn't
be able to take phone calls like we are right
now without mind we took an hour and a half
to call Scotty there, well Tina answer the phone. But
the point is we're doing it pretty much. I would
say we're about I mean, there are some things that

(01:21:16):
are missing. Um. I missed the physical energy. I missed
the in person energy of having Brody next to me,
because the facial expression on the facial expressions right when
I give you that look like what the funk are
you talking about? And we missed like some of those
random drop eyes like our by our friends Spruce and
pulling the interns in yeah are yelling Danielle. So some

(01:21:38):
of that's not there. Um, But I think we've come
a long way and I think we found a way
to manage it. My only hope, for one is that, um,
that we we get back in doing this in the
studio sooner than later, hopefully by spring. And you know what,
it's not gonna happen unless from what the scientists say,

(01:22:00):
the mum of people in this country. You have to
get vaccinated. So if not, you're gonna be stubborn. We're
gonna stay in our houses and work from home, and
people are gonna not be able to go to restaurants. Guys,
you gotta chip in, do your part. Good luck however
they however they do it. I'm not giving advice. I'm
gonna stand. I'm just telling you what the facts are.
I'm selling the facts. We would all like to return
to normal. Gotta do what you gotta do. You know,

(01:22:21):
I heard somebody last night talking about World War two,
and uh, you know, for the war effort, people gave
up metal, rubber, um, different chemicals, yeah, different things that
they needed to build make bullets and tanks, and uh,
they gave up um, all kinds of everyday items. They
gave up sports. A lot of the baseball players went

(01:22:43):
to war. Everything was given up for the war effort. So,
you know, I hope people are willing to give up
a little here and there because we need to end
this thing. Well, I want to get back in the studio,
I really do. We can. You can even if we don't,
you know, and people make their choice and they say
they don't want get it. You know, I think I
think we will be back. We can't. We will be
