Boys Podcast. Well you're in a good mood today. I'm
(00:26):
in a great mood today. Is it? Does it have
anything to do with the the big news we're gonna
have later on in the show to announce huge What
big news? Did I not tell you? Oh? No, that's right.
I have to surprise you. I did it all by myself.
What did we do? No? No, I'm happy for a
different reason. I sent, I shot off some emails, got
(00:47):
in touch with corporate, pulled some strings, get out of here,
had to wrap somebody out, shut the front door, brodyaps,
I went above somebody's head. No you did, Yes, I did.
I'll tell you the whole story later, I promise. Prom
What does it in off? Not? No, No, I promise
you'll hear it before the episode is over. I just
I gotta figure out a way to work it in.
(01:07):
What are you happy about? It's my birthday? Today's my birthday? Right?
It's your birthday? Um? Yes, happy birthday, thank you, thank you,
thank you. As it is every year, four days after mine.
Yes it is. And as I pointed out on a
fifteen minute morning show, the advantage of my birthday being
four days before yours and four days before my wife's
(01:27):
because her birthdays today as well. Yeah, you don't get right?
I well, I get to feel out, like what the
vibe is? Is it big gift year? Is it no
gift year? Is it me year? Right? Like you did
nothing for me? So a Chinese new year like the
Year of the Blind, the year the year of the
Big Gift? Well, guess what, brody, this is the year
(01:48):
of the third because I didn't get you anything, right,
So I knew I had four days to not get
you anything. It's py plenty of time. Like if my
birthday was tomorrow and you got me something today, I
would have to scramble to get you something. And I
feel like, knowing you, you would deliberately get me something
on the third, so I would be screwed for the
fourth to get you something. You know who it does
that to me all the time? Is uh? The women
(02:09):
at the radio station give me Valentine's cards and all
kinds of things, And I, well, I've gotten things from
some of the members of our show in the past,
and then I'm like, oh, I look like a fucking
idiot right now. And then last Christmas, well, that's not
why producer Sam got me these awesome Ultra boosts. Uh,
(02:31):
these Adidas Ultra boosts. Knew I wanted them, and she
just she heard me say it and she bought it
and she she gave it to me at the Christmas
gift And I felt like such a heel, no pun intended,
because I didn't get her anything back. I didn't get
anything from Sam ever, and I hired her three times.
You're getting grief from her. I do get grief from her, yes, yeah.
(02:53):
So anyway, Um, I'm sitting here looking, Um, I did
I got a rock. I did get the Brooklyn Boys rock.
I finally took it home, the one that Elena pop Art. Yes,
shout out to Elena pop Art. She made a Brooklyn
Boys logoed rock right and we posted these. Uh They're incredible.
To be able to paint that well on a curved rock, amazing. Yeah,
(03:18):
it takes some skill for sure. Do you have her
Instagram information? I think, okay, I'll find it in the meantime. Uh,
but yeah, so here it is my birthday and I'm
not doing anything. This is the first birthday that I'm
not doing Nick. I'm sitting home. I've never tried to
do Dick. You know that. Look at look at the
(03:39):
sud episode earlier last year. That was my point. Yeah,
I have been trying this year doing dick. This year,
I'm not even not not even going out to dinner
with my girlfriend. I'm not gonna see my friends, my boys.
I even got a phone call at lunchtime today from
from Falco. Falco's uh, the eighties singer. He's a hired cop,
(04:00):
Anthony anthy Falcon. I thought you meant the one who
sings rock me on a rock the rock me speaking of.
That's Elena pop Art and I'll give you her. Uh, Elena,
it's Elina. Try not to go off on tangent Elena
p dot pop art on Instagram. I don't like dots
in Instagram handles. They just don't fit. But I don't
(04:21):
like underscores. But this is the world we live in.
The dot the dot is weird in Instagram handle. I'm
not looking for for people with code information and programmers.
I don't really want to know why. It's rhetorical. I
would like a dash. I would like a dash better
than an underscore. I would like to you know, you know,
I just you know why, because you can hit a
(04:41):
dash without hitting a shift key. You can just go dash.
I don't want to have to shift underscore. I don't
want to do that. I got into a little bit
of an argument not to get into the weeds with
you and your argument commercial commercial. Yeah, me and my
arguments to get into the weeds with commercial recording. But
a lot of times, you know, we we at this
this copy, you know, the script to read. Sometimes for
(05:03):
that we have to read verbatim at the end. It's
usually the call to action, right, so we say go
to you know, Z one dot com slash Prizes for
more information. Well, I had a little bit of a
back and forth with a client that I recently read
for because I saw that they wrote it wrong and
I knew what they wanted me to say. So I said,
(05:26):
just for the sake of argument, I'm gonna keep it
at Z one hundred. It wasn't Z one hundred, it
was a client so and I said, all right, so
Z one hundred dot com slash Prizes. Well, they were like, well,
that's not what the script said. I said, well, the
script is wrong. The script told me to read Brodie,
you're gonna have a connection h Z one hundred again
(05:47):
insert client here on dot com backslash prizes backslash. Is
that backs for backslash really necessary? Well, that's okay. So
the first thing is the first thing is to say www.
That No, that was the other part of it. Hold on,
(06:07):
this is a multiprom problem. They're like, we want you
to say, go to www dot z one dot com
backslash prizes backslash. The www did no, No that they
did so. I said, all right, guys, the second they
hear the word dot com, they're gonna their ear already knows. Oh,
(06:29):
what I just heard is a web address. I don't
need to You don't need to hit www dot. I
mean my parents do that? Who still does that? Or
h T T P s slash slash Cohen Cohen slash slash, Like,
you don't need to really do all that. You know,
you don't, you don't even you don't need the www dot.
(06:50):
We know we're on the Worldwide Web. We're there NonStop.
It's in our pocket, it's all over, it's around. Nobody
says www dot Google, dot com, dot com. You say, so,
I always lopped that off right there, and they didn't
have a problem with that part. It's like, but the
problem is it's not. First of all, you don't need
the extra slash at the end of the word right,
(07:10):
because it takes you the same thing, takes you to
both take you it does. I tested it out first
before I argued with them, and then they called it
a backslash. But it's not a backslash. It's a forward slash.
So that's and and by the way, you don't even
have to say the word forward slash because people's people
know that when you're typing in a web address, and
(07:33):
then after the dot com the slash only goes in
one direction, and that's the forward. Also, it's just it's
just slash, right, The forward slash is the It's like
white milk. It's just milk. It's just slash. It's just slash.
If you want to, you want to put a modifier,
because slash has become the dominant of the two slashes, right,
(07:53):
some of the one of guns and roses, he'll always
bring big slash. It's just slash. It's always slash because
because when you need use We did algebra. I think
it was algebra, right, is algebra? It was like the
one before the X. You don't have to write one x.
You just wrote X. It was assumed it was a
one x. Right, you don't need to write the one.
But say it's like an eight hundred number. Right, you
don't tell me it's a one hundred number. I know
(08:13):
it's eight hundred. But in the world, what does a backslash?
When do you even use backslash? You certainly don't use
it in a web address. You use it in our
in our logins at work, we have to do a
domain and then a backslash forward slash O the domain
in our log in. YEA, maybe, I don't know. Maybe
when people who write code computer code, they may have
(08:35):
used for backslash. It's just certainly not used in everyday
lexicon and used the graphics like when you want to
make a smiley face or a shrugging guy, you need
the backs. So finally, after the back and forth, I
said to them, guys, do we want people to visit
the address or not? Because I have the way to
do it. It's the one hundred dot Com Slash Prizes
(08:55):
Easiest way to remember it. You're writing for the ear.
People are listening to this ship. You don't want to
so so they understood. They got back to me. I
won that argument. You're a big man now. Ah yeah,
So back to I. He was off on a tangent.
So Falco called it today Anthony Falco, he's retired and
my retired friends who are retired from the police force
(09:16):
and other things. God blessed him. Some of them do
sanitation there in their forties and they don't know what
to do with themselves, so they go to lunch. Now
they retired, twenty years on the job. They got on
a tent. Yes, Falcom dot on when he was younger. So,
but the thing is he's retired now and he's like,
he goes, hey, scary, what are you doing. It's your birthday, man,
(09:37):
I see you posting up on I g like, all right, man, yes,
he goes, listen, We're gonna go to to do a
modeal meal and like some Italian restaurant and like Fairview,
New Jersey, and we're gonna eat this and and I said, look,
you know, I'm on a diet. I'm doing my detox
right now. I'm not gonna scary and a down twenty
(10:00):
three pounds in thirty days. Thank you, I said, I
appreciate it, and he says, um, come on, man, you
know they got bron z. No there, they can make
your bronzo and this and that. They I said, I
love it. I appreciate it, but I'm gonna pass. And
I'm glad I did because I saw the pictures of
all these guys and what they had for lunch, and
(10:21):
they were like they got meat ball platters and chicken palm,
and you know, I'm like, thank god I didn't go,
because they just sent the pictures to about an hour ago.
I'm like, I don't need I didn't need to be
there for temptation island over here. Temptation is all around me, Brodie.
But I'm I'm sticking to my guns. I'm not eating
decadent for my birthday. I'm not gonna do it for
the super Bowl. Fuck it, I'm in a zone. Okay,
(10:49):
So are you proud of me or what? Yes, I'm
very proudly. That's all I want for my birthday. I
don't want presents and I don't want I don't wanna.
You know, you you know you had asked me earlier
if I was doing anything, and I'm not. I'm not
doing it as you are? You going crazy? Well it
isn't you know? Yeah, I'll be okay, I'm gonna have
(11:09):
my boiled chicken later and broccoli huh. And that'll be
my that be, that'll be my dinner. But at least
I have this podcast, right, I get to hang out
and talk to one of my great friends who be
rated me on the radio and on the podcast and
on the fifteen Minute Morning Show podcast and that's all
we have each other, and I'm happy and that takes
(11:31):
my mind off of eating. So so, well, you had
a nice birthday dinner, didn't you. Did you want to
talk about what happened there? I mean you kind of
hinted at it on the Big Show. Um, yeah, okay,
I'll tell you what happened. And I want to read
some birthday greetings, um if I don't mind some birthday
(11:51):
wishes like it's our birthday, it's Brooklyn boys birthday, as
you know. Um. I wrote back to every single d
M and every single tweet and every single post that
I got on all social media except on the Office
Store and show account, where I liked all of the
posts that didn't specifically say anything like there's like happy birthday,
then I liked it, but it's like happy birthday, Broady,
(12:12):
help you and your family have a blah blah blah.
Then I wrote them back, so I hope you will
be doing the same. Dude, the six hundred thirty seven
comments under my happy birthday picture, there's no way I
can get back to everybody. Oh look at Mr pop
you No, no, but no. First of all, Instagram like
shot like bands you and and put you in time out. No,
not more in jail after you like sixty things are
(12:34):
a hundred things if you'd like too many, I got
away with it. How many? How many did you like? Brodie?
Hold on, I'm gonna hold on. There's all of them.
It's abuse of its, abuse of the of the heart button.
I'm telling you it's happening before they say no, no, no,
no more hearts for you check back in an hour.
And they did that to me, I would I lie.
(12:55):
I mean unless they lifted that I been liking, liking, liking,
I haven't stopped me. Really mhm. How many likes you have?
Oh it could be thousands? Okay, Well, anyway, I will
try and get back to everybody. I'm gonna make this
blanket announcement thank you all for the birthday wishes. That
(13:16):
doesn't count. Why not doesn't count because not everybody listens
to this podcast. And by the way, slices, I have
two things I want to bring up real quick. Number One,
I asked you all nicely to make sure you go
back and listen episode. I know you haven't. A lot
of you have not, so help out our poor episode
crash boom bang because you guys skipped it. I don't
(13:37):
know what happened. Not the people listening to this podcast.
They didn't skip it. It's the not this No I see.
This is where I disagree. I think most people listening
are shaking their heads yes right now and saying, yes,
I already listened to it. I don't have to because
I think that we're we have to reach a different
sector of of our listenership to get to that podcast. Here.
If our listenership is only the people that listen to
(13:59):
one worn trouble, I'm telling you it got it got
overlooked because my heart didn't send out a notification. I
Heart screwed us. So I'm just reminding you a great episode.
All right, let me read a couple of birthdays and
I'll tell what happened to my birthday dinner. Um, just
underscore beanie. Happy birthday, David Brodie. Thank you for teaching
me to stand up for myself, even as not even
(14:19):
free dessert Slice for Life. That was very nice. T
j Uh Coonahan. I always I always worry when I
say his name because it looks like it could be
a different way. Happy birthday, David Brodie. May you have
all of the rose pork, Loomino, veggies and diet coke
no ice you want? Isn't that nice? Um? Cap oh
kaplan our boy cappy birthday? Yep? May your pizzabs, sausage,
(14:43):
your diet coke have no ice and you drive through
not have you pull up that nice Yeah? I got
one from Jane Vick. Oh well, Jenevick right by the way.
You go ahead, Jane Vick said, Happy birthday, scary. Wish
you the best. I hope you get lots of sponsors
so we can hit the jingle I was gonna send
you guys pe but I remember you're doing the Dr
Fat loss. I'll hit that jingle you prick. I love you,
(15:10):
bro Brodie, don't get mad. I would send you pizza too,
but you're not going to the studio. When you go
back to the studio, I'll personally go to L M
B and deliver a couple of pies. Thank you both
of what you do and for helping us get how
shitty the world, forget how shitty the world is right now?
Oh my god, All right, back to your ears. Okay,
(15:33):
So one more thing. So so Ze one hundred are
our New York radio station and Elvis Rancho. Uh. One
of them retweeted the other wishing you a happy birthday, right, yes, okay,
So I retweeted it, but I said, wish him a
happy birthday. He will reply to every tweet and d
M with an asterisk. I wrote, please tweet birthday wishes
(15:54):
only to him, thanks, because I don't need to see
all your birthday wishes. I don't need people hitting reply. All.
Wait a second, you complained, you complain about my birthday? No, No,
I didn't. I was retweeting, and I said, hey, wish
them happy birthday, but they don't need to wish me
and you a happy birthday to you. In other words,
I don't need to see a hundred. Come on, brody,
(16:15):
hold on, I just figured I would bring because my
I don't get alerts on my phone because because here's
the difference, scary, I respond to every tweet, right, So
every time I get a notification, I respond to every
d M on Instagram. I am great, fantastic, So, as
I was saying, I go and so every time I
see a notification, I like to see who tweeted at me,
and I write them back. Well, of all the tweets
(16:37):
are to you, it's wasting my time. I could be
spending on writing back to other people who are actually
tweeting me. So funny, like five people have already broken
that role. And then I got a faint tweet. Hold on,
there's a reason I'm bringing this up. So sameir, you
blew it. Um, Jerry big Stick, you blew it. Paul Hale,
you blew it. These are major slices, by the way.
(16:58):
But then Eric de Erico at Dairy King Elevin wrote,
oh and two so far on people was reading comprehensions
l O L, to which I wrote back, you just
broke through. Also because you're on the thread right, Well,
it's funny how my birthday get gets in the way
of you responding to people back for with other issues. Geez, no, no,
(17:19):
no no. Also, I'm having a fight with a dick
who doesn't understand. He thinks he knows more about the
Mets than I do, and he's being that's going to
be very, very difficult. Yeah. He just told me how
long he's been a Mets fan, and I laugh at that.
I'm a Mets fani much longer than him. All right,
you are to me it comes to the Mets. We
went out to dinner. My my wife, and a couple
of my kids went out to dinner on Saturday night
(17:41):
for my birthday. My birthday landed on a Saturday, very nice.
We went out to dinner for the first time as
a family in about a year. We've gone out for
New Year's Eve, right into New Year's Day to January one. Well,
actually no, so December thirty one, twenty nineteen, and I
don't think we went out. Maybe once. We went out
(18:03):
in January February before the pandemic hit. That's why I'm
not going out to here. I'm not gonna go into
this year. So as a family, we haven't gone out
to eat. My wife goes out to eat. I went
out once, which I told you about, when the guy's
as crack was showing, and so as a family, the
four of us, one of my daughters was out of town,
we went out to dinner at a place I'll give
(18:25):
me a shout out because they have not DM me back.
By the way, I'm very upset, called Town Bar and
Kitchen in Marstown, New Jersey. They have a rooftop, which
was excellent. By the way, if you're a Slice and
you're living in the Morristown area, could you tell Town
that the Brooklyn boys were talking about them? Absolutely? So
they have a rooftop, but it's not like you go
up a staircase onto the roof. There's a whole level.
(18:47):
There's a two level restaurant, and the second level has
doors that open out to a beautifully finished uh. It's
more like a terrace than a roof with a fireplace
and heating lamps. It was great anyway. There's three tay
was on the left or four maybe and three or
four on the right. And because of the pandemic here
in the area, they spaced the tables out right. It's
(19:07):
limited seating, so the table behind my so my wife
and I were sitting on the side facing the fireplace,
and my kids are sitting on the other side, facing
away from the fireplace. Two girls get sat at the
table behind my daughters with their backstas close to the fireplace.
I would say they're in their twenties. If they're older
than that, you welcome, ladies. You look like you're in
your twenties. And I don't know. Uh, some stuff happened
(19:31):
in the news politically, and so my wife and kids
and I were all talking about politics, not not in
an augumentative way, but we were clearly on one side
of the fence politically. The way we were talking. Okay,
the girl on the left of the two girls whose
backs are to me, keeps turning around and looking at
(19:51):
my table. Right. I thought she was looking for the waiter,
but she kept looking like sort of at me. Now
I had my I told you this, I had my
mask on, which which I don't understand. How you sitting
at a table outside with your mask on while you're eating.
But okay, because there's other people around, there's a waiter
who has outside outdoor dining. Want to get into this
(20:13):
medical with you each This is what I choose to do.
All right, Can I move on. I'm telling you I
had my mask because people we're talking about you, they
wouldn't you. People had their masks on also until the
food came. That's what some people, really, Yeah, that's what
people do. I just think that if you're adventurous enough
to go outdoor dining, adventurous, yes, once in a year.
(20:34):
Al right, continue, all right, and my wife's been vaccinated,
so she understood, understood, understood, I get it, all right, okay,
all right, back to your story. Were those girls wearing
masks by uh? They were when there was no food? Really? Yes?
The people around us also fascinating. So the girl keeps
turning around. Now she had a drink, so she a
couple of times, didn't never mask on, but she kept
(20:55):
turning around and looking at us. So I thought, she's
clearly on the other side of the political spectrum and
is annoyed by our conversation, right, like she's thinking, oh,
those blah blah blahs, right whatever. So I'm getting upset.
I'm like, well, this woman, and my wife I said,
this woman. Is she this girl? She keeps like staring.
I don't know what the deal is. She's like, I
don't know maybe she's such and such uh politically and
(21:16):
uh as I don't know. I'm like the next time
she turns around, I'm gonna say something. This is really
kind of like, you know, I'm out to dinner. She's
give me these looks, you know. So finally, this is
like six seven minutes of turning around. Um, she turns around.
She's excused me. Now I'm ready, Like my, I'm ready
(21:37):
to go, Like bring it. You're gonna argue with me,
she says, Um, I just want to let you know
I recognize your voice. I'm a big fan of your show.
And so I said, always eyes, Oh, thank you, thank you.
So she was she knew you the whole time. She
knew your voice, right, she kept like turning around the
double check it was me. She didn't google me, because
(21:57):
I've had people do that, like on the phone and
look up. Let's see if I look. But I had
the mask on, so I don't know what she could
have seen, you know what I mean, and my jacket
on because it was cold. So I said, oh, it's
very nice to meet you. And her friend turning around,
she said, I I recognize your voice too. Were all
big fans. That's awesome. Now that she watched to follow
to see if maybe you were going to complain and
send something back, or if they serve something with green
(22:19):
bits in it, like say, she listens to the podcast, Dude,
he's about to get a diet coke with it. Watch this,
I would play, I play by play. I will tell
you about the waiter in a second. Because everything was
really good. But um, so her friend says, oh my god, yeah,
we recognize your voice right away. Now, um my family
(22:43):
is not. They don't like get impressed by that. They're like, oh,
that's nice for you, but they like to keep a
low profile, like they don't like they don't revel in it,
like yeah, but that's famous because I'm not really famous.
I'm just known. But anyway, so they're like, oh my god.
And so my kids they're like, oh god, here goes dad.
He's gonna get all like a big ego. Now up
(23:03):
for dinner. So I said, well, it's very nice to
meet you, Like, thank you, right, very nice girls. So
my kids are like, don't say a word, dead, don't
say a word. We get it. They liked you, We
get it, like in a fun way. They go, Okay,
no problem, no they're not embarrassed. They just they don't
They don't want me to get like all like a
big headed dinner. So my wife turns to me into this, well,
there's your birthday present. You talk. Some people are like
(23:25):
you okay, so that's good. So like about ten minutes later,
two more girls, also around the same age, go and
sit down at the table. They were late, but they
don't say anything, and I'm like, okay, good, let's just
you know, we eat dinner or whatever, have a nice time.
At the end of the night. We're done first because
we we had ordered first, we had sat down first.
(23:45):
And as we get up, I do the right thing.
I take a few steps over and I lean over
and I say, ladies, it was very nice meeting you.
And they go, oh my god, yeah, and the other
two girls start doing the thing with their hand like
they're fanning their face like their hands shaking. Oh I on,
oh my god, we love you. When they passing out
like the dog and you cut to the and it's like,
(24:10):
oh my god, faint. Specifically, the blonde girl was not
I'm not like she was gonna fame, but she's like,
oh my god, we love you. I would say the
hand was medium speed. It wasn't like Beatles speed. It
wasn't like Harry Styles speed. It was more like, oh,
it's so nice to me, but like we didn't say anything.
We got here late, but we recognized your voice too.
We love the show. Side everybody. Now, none of them
said we love the podcast. And I would have said, hey,
(24:32):
check out the Brooken Voice podcast. I thought that was cheesy.
I don't want to do that, you know, yeah, it's
kind of It's hard to do in that situation. Right.
Had they said they loved the podcast, we're like, hey, right,
So so then one girl yells to my kids, do
you know how cool your dad is? I wanted to
be my fun boy? Uh no, no, she didn't say that. No,
(24:53):
she did not know. First of all, all of these
girls were obviously single. It looked like they was single.
You're in their twenties. I am not. They they were
all very attractive. Doesn't doesn't stop not. I'm telling you
married most qualitly I'm married a right. They thought that
was your your older sister with you. I don't know
you just refer did you just call my wife my
(25:14):
older sister? Maybe it was a young younger sister with you.
You'll be careful. My wife is a is younger than me,
don't she is. He looks a lot younger than she's really,
So you know what, someone's gonna have them listen. They're
gonna hear this, and they're gonna like, oh, listen to them.
They couldn't have been nicer. My point was, I was
so it was they were so nice. And there's such
(25:35):
big fans of the Morning shown you stop that everything
when you was sexual. I love how it makes you uncomfortable.
I do this just to make you uncomfortable. I'm not uncomfortable.
I'm embarrassed for you, embarrassed for me. You know you're not. No,
I'm not. I'm not No. It was very nice meeting them.
The thing is I said, oh, hit me up on
(25:56):
social media. None of them did so. I don't know
their names, so I can't. I would have shouted him
out on the end, slide into my m I will say,
what here's here's what gets uncomfortable when they want to
take a picture and then they like ask your spouse
to hold the camera and they give the camera to
you know, Melissa, your wife, and say, hey, excuse me,
(26:20):
could you could you hold this camera and take a
picture of on that. She wouldn't be offended by that.
Know what's offensive? Scary is when you and I are
at at a morning show event and they have me
hold the camera so they can take a picture with you.
That's yes, it does. It happen at at at what
it was at the at the food fest we went
to last year that people were like, oh, hi, yeah,
(26:42):
could you take a picture of us? When scary? Yeah,
it happens all the time, dude, that's all that's awkward. Well,
that happens to me a lot with Elvis. Hey, you
might you know, taking a picture, you know, hold this camera,
you take the picture of me and Elvis. I'm like, great, okay,
I've done that. Wait a minute. So you're saying you
are Elvis is to you what you are to me
(27:03):
in terms of celebrity. No, I'm just telling you what
what happened. You're like, oh, I'm always with a bigger
stall like Elvis, So brody you being with a biggest
stall like me. It totally makes sense. I didn't say that.
You're putting words in my mouth. That's what you said.
You're inventing things. Now, if a then B if B,
then C. Therefore if AI than C, No, it's it's
real modus, Poland's modus modus, Tollens's whipping out the math. Yeah,
(27:27):
I loved Ala. It's one of those modus is anything
that was Trigg It's logic, logic, logic, it's logic. Loved logic,
logic and algebra and trigger and loved it. Calculus hated.
I love math, hated calculus. The birthday text you keep
they keep coming in. I have to ignore them. Now.
I have to get back to every text on my phone,
(27:50):
every single one of them. Speaking of posts, So on
my birthday post yesterday on the Elvis Durrand Show. This
happens every time. Anytime there's a big post, there's always
some listen guys like slices. If you do this, please
don't do this. I know everybody has to make a living.
I saw. I'm not looking to offend, so let me
just say I don't like it. But when you do
(28:11):
it on a post yesterday, it's extra tackie. So when
there's a post like a big news event and and
and you jump on it happens on our Elvis Rand
Show account A lot don't promote your side business. Don't
promote the home business, that scam that you work for,
the pyramid scheme that you work for. You know where
(28:32):
you go. Oh thanks to Lorin, I'm able to work
from home, stay with my kids and still make six figures.
Promote your business somewhere. You could use some wriggle cream
from Rodanon Fields here. Let me interest you in this
MLM scam. Yeah yeah, yeah for Oh by the way,
oh yeah yeah, can I I have some things to
say about that. Lulu Ro Lulu lu lu rose, Lululululu
(28:57):
Lulu lu lu ro was the big leg things. Everyone
had to buy leggings, leggings, and I tried to tell
people I don't want to be like a thing because
we know people who were selling it was a pyramid scam.
But not only that, the it's the level marketing. It's
called multi level. That's why I said m L and
MLM company is a multi level marketing scheme. It's scheme
(29:19):
pyramid scheme, yes, because the people in the beginning all
get their money and cash out and then but the
problem is people to sell for you. Yea, they give
you ten percent, but eventually it gets harder and harder
to cash out because the people at the bottom are
you know, there's way too many people at the bottom.
Essentially hot potato. You get stuck with all the merchandise.
So so yeah, you hold the bag right, you get
(29:41):
stuck and Lulu ro and by the way, at some point,
things like a light leggings is a finite item where
you don't It's not like toothpaste where you're gonna keep
needing more of it. It's just at some point you
have to three pairs of leggings leggings. I know two
people that was salespeople, right, one was the others like
barrier in the pyramid and uh, one made money and
(30:03):
one got stuck with a lot of clothing. Of course,
Washington State just settled the case for like four million
dollars that they're gonna reimburse the people that got stuck
with their merchandise and and who got scammed. But this happens.
This happens every couple of years. And I hate to
say this. Men fall for a lot of stupid ship
but this is a lot of women who like as
(30:24):
a side job or instead of working, they get they go,
oh my god, my friends making all this money. I'm
gonna do it, Ladies that I'm telling you a year
from now, when somebody's selling wigs, don't do it. When
somebody's selling uh toenail buffers, don't do it. Didn't We
talk about this on this podcast a year ago on Instagram,
No the one it was like the picture of a star.
(30:47):
It was like eight the eight people with the person
in the middle, and then you have to like fill
the eight and then you moved to the middle or
something like that, and then they it was like some
kind of weird little diagram. As soon as somebody says,
oh my god, you'll be able to get people and
they're gonna give it to you, and by after a
while you have to work. No such thing. It's a scamboni.
Got major Sam, fuck fuck you, Lula Row and Rod
(31:17):
Dan and Fields. I don't know if it's similar, but
I don't know. If some people make you open up
your own business in your basement, it's not gonna last long,
and you gotta get out fast. You gotta get out,
sell your first wave of stuff and get out. That's
what most people do. That that's why the scamboni, the
people at the top of the pyramid win so it's
like the people who create the thing and put themselves
the top, the first one out. Yeah, you gotta get out,
(31:40):
all right. We gotta take a break, all right. So
when we come back, I will tell you the big
news that Scary doesn't even know about. Big news. Can
you give me a hint? What did it start with?
What letter? No? I can't even do that because it's
the sound of it, like the sat can't do it?
All right, Okay, alrightst rein Rod. I gotta know what
(32:01):
this is. This is, this is I'm a burning sensation
in me right now. People are trying to guess what
it is. So here's what I'd like you to do.
Tweet me and Scary and at the Brooklyn boys what
you thought it was before I said it. I'm curious
to see if you and don't lie. Don't be like,
oh I know what if you knew what? That's fine.
(32:21):
So I went to corporate for this. No, no, no,
it's I gotta tell you the story. First. I went
to corporate and I said, hey, who who? I went
to our buddy um are r Okay, that's his initials.
I said, who handles who handles this request? Who handles
this thing I need done, he said this woman H.
(32:44):
So I emailed H and I said, Hey, I would
like this done. What I gotta do? Who I gotta blow? Nope,
didn't say that that's you. Gotta just take care of yourself.
So she said, oh, I can handle that. My department
handles that. Not a problem. Are there any other Oh

I think we're good. Just please take care of this
for for me and a few of my friends in
the company. Can you please just take care of this? Yeah,
not a problem. That was uh. And the November and

then a follow up email beginning of December. I don't
hear anything back. I email her in the middle of
December and I said, Hey, any updates And she writes back, oh, uh,
this particular request is requiring a little more information, but
it's gonna take me a little bit longer, but I
should have an answered few by the end of the week.
Mid December. Now the week goes by, we go on
(33:50):
a tweak vacation, I write. I write her back beginning
of January. Hey, H, what's the deal where It's a
month now. I haven't heard anything, nothing, So I wait
a week and a half, benefit of the doubt, new year,
you know, settling back in. Maybe it was on vacation.
I don't hear anything nothing, so I fowarded the last email.
I go, hey, you, okay, where are we at? Then?
(34:11):
You know how I told you the story? You have
to Uh, sometimes you have to fill out a corporate ticket,
like a job ticket. I get a completed ticket. Your
job request from H has been completed. So so I
go and I look, it hasn't been completed. Oh, so
I go what Then? So I email r R again.

I'm on it. Fifteen minutes later, I get an email
from H. I'm so sorry. I don't know how I
missed this email. It was four emails. By the way,
(34:53):
I'll get all right on it, I promise. Uh and

a digital favor, and all kinds of emails confirming, confirming, confirm.
What are we doing? As of last Thursday The Brooklyn
Boys podcast on Deezer, we made it. We're on. Yes, Yes,
(35:20):
Oh my goodness. There is a Lord Birthday, Happy birthday.
My present to you, Scary Jones, the Big D, the
Big D. See if I said D the first initial,
it's Deezer. It's like halfway there. Now, Scary, you can
ask your own Deezer. That's freaking amazing. This is r
(35:41):
are because I had to go over H's head. Now,
what was the nuts? Did we find out what the
hold out was? Like? Why were they waiting to put
us on? Well, no, no reason, just we had never
requested it. Apparently our company has a checklist of automatics
and they weren't an automatic that's going to be through.
Listen talkers on Deezer. I got celebrity buzz on Deezer.
(36:04):
Elvis story in fifteen minute morning show. Uh. Yeah, by
the way, if you're a slice and what ye, So,
what's the matter? I was gonna tell I was gonna say,
if you happen to be a slice out there, I
want to know if if if there's another platform that
we're missing, like a big one that we're not on,
(36:26):
let us know so we can have r R A
H go after it. Whoever. Those people were okay, so um,
I said to to two Scary, this is for the slices.
I said, too, Scary. Uh. About two weeks ago, before
this was finalized, I said, hey, Scary, I'm just letting
(36:47):
you know I'm I'm still fighting to get us on Deezer,
I remember this, and Scary goes, wait a minute, what
about other networks? You should have gotten us all other
podcast networks. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you? Alright, alright, alright, no, no, no,
so you gave me grief on the phone. You were
yelling at mean, why didn't include you? Why was? I said, Well,
first of all, Scary, I wanted to surprise you for
(37:09):
like when it got done. But second of all, I
sent you a text message. No you didn't, so I
sent you a screenshot. The text messages me saying, hey, Scary,
what are the podcast platforms do you want me to
ask to get on? And your response was, Hey, come
to Collabra's Calandria's Landers for a free palm on the arm. Hey, Thanksgiving?
(37:34):
It was a food call. I mean, how do I not? Okay,
all right, whatever you're doing single ball. So you were like,
you didn't tell me. I did tell you. Your response
to me was come get free chicken parton. So I know,
what do you expect. I'm sure attention span when it
comes to palm on the arm. Go go on, Deezer
and go listen episode. How about that? Okay? So back,
(37:56):
so back back to these posts we were talking about
about working from home and these scamp posts. I it's
annoying that you do that. But here's where it gets
really bad. Here's where it gets really tacky, like you
have to have no soul to do this. Yesterday screech
died Dustin Diamond. Okay, life came to a screeching halt.
There's my there's my one bad joke for the day.
(38:17):
Dustin Diamond passed away from mukemia. It's tragic. So Elvis
Durant Show put up a post that that put up
a picture of Dustin Diamond and said, you know, he died,
and everybody's like, oh my god, I loved him so young,
so quick. I love the show. He's had such a
rough life. R I p all it was, you know,
a six hundred text messages a post, rather seven hundred
(38:40):
within like the first hour, like everybody loved who Saved
by the Bell? I mean by my classic? A classic.
So as I'm scrolling, I said to myself, I hope
I don't see any of these self promoting bastards on
a death post. And sure enough, oh, thanks to Athy. Uhh,
(39:02):
isn't that Isn't that a bot? At that time? At
that point? Isn't that a bot? Or these people? I
don't think. I think you're arguing with nobody. I don't
think these are like I feel like these are these
are posts that are just they they find posts that
have high volume and they just stick them in there.
Are you shipping on my rant? I think that's what
you're doing right now. No, I'm asking you because we
(39:24):
don't audition this stuff. You and I don't talk about
the material necessarily. I have no idea. Brody Okay, no, okay, no,
I'm saying it sounds like I'm I'm asking you an
honest questions. I was on the oppression. I never. I
never take this as real people talking. I'm like, these
are fucking bots just going at it. I mean, I'm what, No,
(39:45):
I'll tell you why I don't. I don't know if
it's a bot or not. Because I clicked on them.
I clicked on I clicked on both of them, and
they both are people or carry up. I checked it.
They both carry on and they both have normal posts.
All right, then they scome post now that you mentioned
they were not they were not bosts. They were people
who follow them. Either they followed them on show or
(40:05):
they followed big accounts. So when they post, they get
a notification and they can jump on it. They probably
got like put notifications on all the big accounts. My
point is, have some fucking class. How go look and go.
It's a deaf dedication post. Maybe that's not the opportunity
to put on. How you work from home and you
can't believe it. Thank you Kathy, because thanks to Kathy,
(40:28):
check out Kathy. Uh d m Kathy, so you can
work from home and make You know what, if everybody
if Kathy was making money for everybody, right, every no one,
We're working everybody be ready, It's like, you know what
I have this all. You see commercials for hair loss
products right, Oh, we're gonna lazy your head creams, lotions.
(40:49):
Here's how I know. Scary that those creams don't work,
that those lasers don't work. Here's how I know. Jeff Bezos,
the richest man in the world, is bold, true story.
He'd have all the money in the world to fix
this worth. He gave his wife half his money and
he's still worth over a hundred billion dollars. Don't you
(41:11):
think he'd have hair? Yeah, it's a great, great point.
If he could put he could laser his head. He
could get a laser sent to his house in two
days with prime and have hair growing. And I know
that some people it's bald as a choice, But bald
is a choice usually when you have a little on
the side, so you go bald. Most people with a
full head of hair don't go bald as a choice,
(41:33):
at least at least rich white dudes, like some some
black men look with bald head. They like a lot
of NBA players, they go chrumb dome and that's great.
I don't I don't know a lot of white guys
with a full head of hair and go I'm taking
it off. If you are God bless you, but you know,
fuck you because they are people who would dyeing for
(41:53):
hair and you're just shaving it off. So yeah, if
if bald cure has worked, Jeff Bezos full head of hair.
You guys that he needs hair. He doesn't need he
doesn't know. He doesn't, dude, he doesn't. He's got he's
got money. He's big. He's big in the pockets. You
know what I'm spending. He's big in the pocket. He
could date you. Give you a hundreds of his salary.
You don't have to work again. Called Kathy, called Kathy
(42:15):
and work from home. You know. You know Jeff bezos
wife wasn't selling lularo. So there's a there's a new
social media app that has not been infiltrated by these people.
But these these these self promoters yet and I think
that we should jump on it. I'm telling you, I'm here.
I'm here Early, I'm here Early Brodie. Is it with
a date? No? No, I'm here. I'm here for it. Okay.
(42:36):
You know I was. I was first to Facebook back
in the day. You guys yelled at me and made
fun of me because he said only college kids were
on it at the time, but I joined it. I
was first. I was first to Instagram and you were like,
what the hell you doing that for? That's a picture app?
And then I was I was first to TikTok uh
and you guys and this was like in the past
two years you left your asses off saying it's only
(42:57):
for kids. Now every motherfucker's on TikTok In fact, that
can't be a viral video that appears in your day
that you don't click on it and it links to
TikTok It's it's most of them now. So I'm a
trail blazer on this and I'm telling you the next one.
It's Clubhouse. Okay have you been do you know about
the clubhouse app? No? What what do you mean? No?
(43:21):
You never been on a clubhouse? Okay, brand new app.
It's a social media app. You got it better than
Google Hangouts. We'll go get your claim your name at
the very least you can go claim it. But here's
the thing. It's invitation only right now because it's in beta.
So what you do is you go on, you get
your you claim your name, so get I already got

(43:41):

wait for to be invited to actually start the app.
But usually somebody sees that you've signed up and it's
you can Each person gets too object management, it's project management.
Each person gets to what are you talking about? Clubhouse clubhouse.
It's a purple purple logo with two flags clubhouse. You
(44:04):
have the clubhouse appen. No, no, no, no, it's not
it's a it's a it's a picture of a guy. Well,
this says clubhouse and it's a project. No, it's it's
actually better, it's something else, right, you got the name wrong.
It's clubhouse one word and it's got it's a guy.
It's a picture of a black and white it's a
black and white picture of a guy with with long
hair and a beard. On Android, Clubhouse Software has an
(44:26):
app called Clubhouse and it's it's a it's a it's
a corporate type app. No, it's not, well, this isn't
well this this is great anyway. No, but it is
kind of corporate clubhouse is No, it is kind of No.
Here's what well, here's what happens. So when you join
once you get on it, Once you get on Clubhouse,
you you actually can go into these rooms with people,
(44:46):
but you're you could be on a stage and you're
a speaker. So there's like three or four speakers on
a panel and then the rest yeah, and the rest
of people. The rest of the people are in the audience,
and you can actually call an audience member on stage
to how to speak. The thing is, this is I
think where we're going. I think I think this is
a professional app it. It looks kind of sexy. I
(45:08):
don't understand. Oh wait, maybe it's not on Android yet.
You may be fucked well fantastic, that's not it. That's
not it. You just said you just what did you do?
You texted it? I texted you a screenshot of clubhouse.
That does not That's gonna be a problem because the
name is taken. No multiple logins. What is this here? No,
(45:29):
this is not you. This is not it anyway, So
it can be called clubhouse, then it is clubhouse. Two words.
It's one word, clubhouse, all right? Is it? It's better
than feed You had me on feet a few years ago.
I'm telling you you're gonna love it. You and and
slices check it out. I'm telling you, if you're gonna,
you guys are gonna you'll thank me later. And then
(45:50):
our other friends at Stereo. Eventually we're gonna get back
on there and do another one of those talks where
we can actually, you know, do a little mini podcast
companion where you you're asking, where you get to put
your name, you know, you get to actually talk to us,
look back to us in real time. So I brought
to Lava lier Mike, so I sound better, So Scared
doesn't complain. I'm using a bluetooth your piece. Yeah, so
it'll be great, It'll be awesome, all right. That that's
(46:12):
just upcoming business. Just wanted to get that ship out
of the way. I have some respect for dust and diamond,
damn it. That's basically what I'm saying. I got you,
I got you, all right. Oh, bro A, you're gonna
hate this. We got an email called Kitty Litter Scamboni Okay,
oh I don't like it already from Kate McKee. I
got scammed by Pretty Litter, a kitty litter company. I
saw an ad and I thought, why not. I'm constantly
(46:33):
on the hunt for a kitty litter. I like I'm
sure it's out there, but it's certainly not pretty litter.
Although the product wasn't bad, my family decided it wasn't
the right product for us. A month later, another box
showed up, even though I didn't sign up for auto send,
so I emailed them saying, I'll keep this litter and
pay for it, but I didn't want another bag. Thinking
I might have accidentally signed up for auto send, I
(46:56):
explained my cats don't like it. In their defense, they
wrote back quickly and explain cats sometimes take some time
to adjust. Then they admitted that I was automatically signed
up for the auto send and that I should give
their product a little more time. What type of company
signs you up for auto send, assuming you'd want it?
(47:17):
By the way, scary, don't listen to everyone adopt kittens,
not I may. I may. They're easy and awesome. I'll
even give you an unused bag of my pretty litter.
So yeah, So apparently there are companies out there that
give you the old Scamponi where you sign up for
something and then you don't realize you've signed up for
the auto send without even signing up for the auto send.
(47:39):
So how do you get out of that. It's like
an it's kind of like a never ending maze. Yeah,
that's a that's a I don't I don't know. I mean,
I guess you have to get them on the phone
and give them hell if you can't, you can't handle
it online. You can't because online screwge you. Online never
gets back. Yeah, but do they owe you anything for
(48:00):
the auto send having the auto send feature on? Uh?
I don't know. When there's got to be like a
disclaimer that says you know you you're automatically being renewed
unless you cancel. Okay, just saying all right, so there's that.
Did you have another one? I do? Yeah, let me
let me pull up what I have here. Do you
(48:21):
see what I sent you by the way, just now? Yeah? Yep, yep, yes,
Oh my god, yep. Uh Who so people gonna notice it?
Should I tell you? You want to see? You might
a look who sent it? Before? I say, who sent it?
A listener? A listener sent it to us. No, it's
(48:44):
a screenshot of someone the screen shot. Oh my goodness, yep,
he says, we got we got Okay. My co host
Share Cascenza on the other podcast I Do was promoting
that you're a beautiful birthday. Gree sent me a beautiful
birthday greeting yes, and she on her caption, she wrote,

most amazing podcast co host girl can't ask for and
she spelled your why oh you are and it should
be why o you apostrophe ari. Oh my goodness. So
now what how do we handle this? This is one
of our own, Brody, somebody somebody pointed this out and
(49:29):
screenshot it and send it to us. I love it.
I don't know if I would delete it. Well, I'm
not going to repost it. She's expecting me to repost
it because I reposted everybody today. What should I do?
Should I kind of pull her aside and say, you
may want to just no, I wouldn't bring it up,
but I wouldn't repost it. I just yeah, okay, I
(49:53):
just I just got it. What's the matter you? You
sound like the cats got your tongue, Brodie. No, no, no,
I'm looking up something I want to bring up. I
like I was, I had something else someone to talk about,
but then I was like, oh, this just came into
my phone to my social media, So okay, so desiree.
Uh Dad bombs dade Z bombs dade Z b o
m b z on Instagram. Yeah, we talked last week
(50:17):
about the shower scrubber, the Ladies shower scrubber. Right, so
the clean spa or the cleansed spa, whatever it was.
She said, I just wanted to tell you I had
the pleasure of watching this commercial last night and was
laughing so hard. Look it's the obsessed girl. So she
took a picture of the of the item with the
four brush heads, and the woman goes, I'm obsessed with it. Yeah,
(50:39):
I'm obsessed. I can't get enough of this. So I

last week. If you're new to the podcast, go back,
welcome aboard. I'm back and listen to the episode. And
of course please go back and listen one, go back

a quick break because then I have some unused jokes,
and then I think we've gotta wrap off because as
(51:00):
your birthday. So let's where am I going? I told
you I'm going nowhere today. Hit the commercials? All right,
So do you have anything else you want to hit?
I got some unused jokes and uh you got Well
wait a second, how do you doing unused jokes when
we're doing the show remotely? The unused jokes segment is
supposed to be when you write a bunch of jokes
down on a piece of paper and give them to
(51:21):
Elvis and then and then Elvis doesn't use them. But
for most of the on air, we've been we hold on,
we've been in quarantine since March, right, we've been doing
the podcast. All. Yeah, we haven't done. We haven't done.
We have not done. Yes, we used jokes since we
absolutely have. Really, we absolutely have. Dude, I type into
the chat room. It's in the slack chat room. We're in.
You know that we were talking on the air. When
(51:44):
I say we, I mean everyone but me. Was talking
about um people a porn category on porn hub with
people who do stuff with cereal with something doing like
a porn cereals. Somebody mentioned porn and cereals, so I
started naming porn cereals, So I said, leather cheerios. That's
(52:04):
look at urban diction. If you don't know what that is. Uh,
muse licks l I c k s muse licks. Uh
porn cereal, chocolate creos if you're into that, uh, Lucky
Sucky charms, the Golden Shower grams uh oh, and turning tricks,
(52:26):
which is something I did and then no one was responding,
so I just stopped, like you know, I mean, I
could have gone on for like an hour, but I
just stopped. So porn cereals, if you have a porn
cereal you'd like to submit tweet us. You know what
the tweets. One last thing I want to shout out
to it. That was my unused jokes. Yeah, because you said,
(52:47):
you know, yeah, because right, Okay, you want to shout
out to Bernie. I want to shout out to Bernie.
But shout out to Bernie. Oh, I don't have the audio.
Should save it until next week to have the audio.
If you want, yeah out to Bernie us to do
with something completely different, Oh, shout out to Bernie and
then I'll have the audio of why I have to
thank Bernie the guy who runs New York. I heart media.
(53:07):
And while you're mad at Bernie, but you you do
your shout out to Bernie. I'm not Maddie Bernie. I'm
happy with Bernie right now. Bernie, Bernie sent me a
a beautiful award. Apparently I got the the Shoutout Award
or something that, you know, the Shouted Out Loud Award
for I Heart Media. Me and the thirty one essential
employees who've been coming into the studio since March to
(53:31):
do the big, the big show. Um, we all together
won this award. It was a thirty one way win
and we all got a plaque, a beautiful plaque. Just
a participation award. What do you mean, Well, everyone who
comes into work got an award, So there's nothing no, no, no,
it was we don't know as opposed to you who's
sitting at home for tennutes. You got, you got. All
(53:53):
you did was participating. I'm gonna read it. Do a
good job work. Let me go get it. Hold on,
I want to read it because it was very nice.
Hurry up, then I gotta go change reman, What am
I doing? Talk? Just well? Just oh, I wanted to
hear there's any like crashing and banging, you know, vamp
(54:16):
as they amp walked across the room. This is called
the I Heart Media Standing Ovation Award. It's a beautiful
piece of glass and it's framed and it's ready to
go and it's wonderful, and I wanted because you were
standing and I was sitting on my couch. Standing ovation
award is I guess people that every year it's given
(54:36):
to one person. This year it was given to all
thirty one of us. Okay, because we as a unit
G unit all came to work during the pandemic while
everyone else was at home. So they figured it's all encompassing.
So this is not a participation award as you just assumed.
(54:56):
This is a real for participating. I got it be costs.
I'm an essential employee, and they gave it to everyone
who came in right right, thirty one people got it.
So what are you trying to say it's any less special,
because I'm saying it's like, you know, everyone who played
on the team got it, and if you were at
the rest of the high school didn't. Be Hold on
a second. Well we'll wait a second now. If you
(55:18):
win a Super Bowl and you were in for one play,
you're on special team to something, you get a participation,
you get no, you get you you you gotta ring.
Everyone gets a ring, everyone gets a trophy. It's not
the same. It's not the same as being Tom so
it's the same thing. We've all achieved this together. So
this was a team award. But you're trying to say,
but you're trying to lump it in with those awards kids.
(55:39):
Explain what a participation award is. First of all, it's
like everyone, everyone who runs the race gets a trophy.
There's no winners, no losers. You ran the race. This
is a lot different than that nobody did their job better.
Are you telling me that nobody who went to work
sucked every What I'm telling you is everyone. If somebody
went to work every day because they hate their wife
or husband and went to work day and did a
(56:00):
ship job, they got a trophy, right, they got a plaque.
Yeah right, But this basin that's not that's different. That's different.
The give my kid an award for running around the
bases and everybody, Hey, everybody did their homework today. You
will get an award. That's a participation award. That's the
bull that's bullshit. That is This is not a bullshit award.
(56:21):
This showed up. You got an award for showing up.
That's what you got. What did you get to a
ward for scary? Now up? No, because if you if
you have to pull back a second. Pull Okay, pull
pull back in the grand scheme of the pandemic, because
we went through a lot of ship. Didn't do the
entire earth go through a lot of ship this year. Okay.
So this small microcosm, this group of people right here
(56:45):
at iHeart Media, were able to make it run. We
get to make things run every day, so we got
we come in every day and the thirty one of
us are the chosen ones. How many people working out
building Brodie a couple of hundred scared. You're you volunteered
to go in and you do a great job, and
you're very important. But what I'm saying is nobody got
(57:07):
singled out of the thirty seven, right, no one gottures
were on the screen at the same time, and you're
all very valuable. What I'm saying is, though, it's basically
you got a trophy for participating. Are you look at
that thirty one list? I know all of them, right,
amazing people, and I thank God that you guys go
(57:27):
to work every day and I keep the show running.
We'll have jobs. But you know someone on that list
isn't is like yeah, yeah, So you're saying it has
to be like a gold, silver, and a bronze. That
has to be actually think, yes, I think should be.
Everyone gets an award, but then three people get super awards.
Somebody has to stand out otherwise, looking at this as
(57:51):
in a different way, relatively speaking, we as a unit, right,
got an award for standing out amongst the rest of you. Right,
So like everyone who completed the race got an award
as opposed to people in the bleachers who didn't run
the race. I'm completely not on your side on this,
I participation. We're also belittling my award. Okay, Anyway, I
(58:14):
wanted to thank I wanted to thank Bernie for actually
sending it to the house and for actually, you know,
spending some money on a nice piece of glass. It's
nice to have something like this. It's it's it's a
moment in time. I know that I will look back
on this and be like and I'll and I'll and
I'll look at it on my wall or wherever I
keep it in a closet somewhere dusted off and big,
(58:36):
you know what, shake my head. I'm like, yeah, I
was part of that. I was part of a very
very elite group of people who received an award because
we did things in a very very um you know,
unprecedented time. I we we we made a difference. Yeah,
but you know you you showed up again. I find
(58:58):
I find what you do important. But every everybody got
the same award. That's all I'm saying. You all got
the same. I just don't put this on the level.
I would have liked to have seen a little bonus
check for you guys. I mean, but I'm saying, I'm saying,
I heart step up patient trophies nice, but I'd like
to see like the guy who runs the Elvis rd
Morning show get a little something extra. I don't think
(59:21):
like Jeff Smith deserves extra. He runs radio. Stage's an engineer,
he's yeah, he makes it run also. But that's why
we will need to see thirty Look at the list
of thirty one. I'm not picking out anybody, but we
look at the list right now. You look at the
list you have the list. Is there anyone on that
list no names who maybe you think isn't as as
valuable as you I see three people right here. Okay,
(59:44):
but people the second But wait, there's three people, so
would you admit they got participation trophies. Okay, So so basically, ladies, gentlemen,
what Brodie is, what Brodie is saying is that look
at the award on your mantle or wherever your your
out of right now. That may have been a participation
award because you got anything that you did in a
(01:00:05):
group effort situation. Brody is like, well, if there was
multiple awards for that category, it's a participation award and
therefore less of an award. It's just kind of like
a jerk off moment. They're trying to give you an
audible handy. Thirty one people have done a great job
going into work. I get that, but if six, imagine
scary of only five of you got the award, how
(01:00:27):
much more special with that? I'm gonna I'm gonna put
this in in this nail, in this coffin that you
you're not gonna be able to debate out of this paperbag. Okay.
And that is that is what Time Magazine was that
what what else did they do? The person of the year,
man of the person of the year, and by the way,
person of the Year for Time Magazine always confuses people.
(01:00:48):
It doesn't mean the best, it doesn't mean the person
who did the most, the most honorable. It means who captivated,
who dominated the headlines. You know, I'm so sorry. No, no,
it wasn't. It wasn't Time. Personally, I'm scratched that it was.
Oh my god. There was an award that came up recently,
Noel Prize, no, no, for whatever. Whatever the award was,
(01:01:11):
it was not Time. Person in the air. It was
it was it was the answer. Hold on, they gave
the award to the front line workers. There was an award.
It was a major award. It wasn't Time. We thought
that that was going to be the answer to Time magazine.
But my point being is that can't funk with That's
(01:01:31):
a group award. That's several people different. The frontline workers
won an award, and it was like all the front
line workers you win in this category. It was it
was I forgot what a war. It was a major
award too. But but anyway, the result is still the same,
and that means you're pretty much belittling them. That's what
I'm saying. What's your argument? Never? Okay, My argument is
(01:01:52):
that they all did an incredible job. They all go
to work risking their lives every day. They all should
be commended, and you that sounds like a participation award
because they all participated. Hold on, hold on, I'm sure
within the hospitals there might be a nurse of the week, right,
there might be a doctor of the month. Right, this
(01:02:13):
is a pandemic scary. You can't compare nurses and doctors
going to work every day saving lives. Yes, they should
all be awarded. Yes, they should be recognized. They all
didn't get plaques. We said a big thank you to
all of them, so we got a recognition award, yes,
for participating. I like to think it's a little more
(01:02:34):
than that. But okay, listen, I already told you I
think what you and uh, what you do every day,
and almost everybody on that list, or everyone on the
list is wonderful. I'm just saying some of you, as
you pointed out, probably do a little more wonderful than
others because some of some of it isn't like. But
without each one of us there, they would not have
(01:02:54):
been able to make it work. The rest of you
guys hit the Brooklyn Boys song. Remember you're the one
who singled out three people not me. Hit the jingle
you have a Birthday dinner and yes, as a matter
of fact, Peter Lukers boys, steak dinner from your wife,
(01:03:17):
none from you. You get gots and Google from me
